    Quad WBTB: Flying and Dream Control, Asking 'Why', and Manei does weird stuff. (LD #184,185,186)

    I found myself semi-lucid around my own house. I can remember flying around. I was fighting this fat DC who looked like Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. I remember I was trying to mimic alchemy and convert the atoms in the ground into weapons, blades and rock pillars that would attack him.

    At one point, I made a giant cannonball and covered it in spikes. This seemed to kill him. I think he vanished, and I realized that I was fighting. Then my alchemy powers stopped working but I was still able to fly around. I thought about flying to space, I saw the moon in the daytime sky and thought about going there. I remember thinking about how there was an old shared dreaming group who had a building there. I thought that I was supposed to be meeting with her (Dawneye11) in the shared dream there.

    Just then the moon exploded. Bits of the moon flew outward, but the core of the moon remained, and became a black hole. Then, a gravity wave came out, first hitting the pieces of the moon and pulling them back in. It then hit the earth.

    It felt like a really strong wind was pulling me toward the moon black hole. Houses and trees were pulled up and sucked in. I thought that I should try to escape the black hole. If I can't NBD, it's a lucid dream, and I'll see where it takes me.

    I started flying away, but I wasn't going nearly fast enough and I was getting sucked in. I tried to go faster and managed to stop myself relative to the black hole. at one moment, however, I must have twitched my arm too fast because I woke up and moved my arm IWL.


    -WBTB-

    I was in my old high school with Manei. However, I was for some reason a ghost. (You know how for Halloween there is always that one person who goes as a bed-sheet ghost. Well, I was that ghost, but I wasn't a costume, I was just a bed-sheet.)

    I remember at one point (though not very clearly) I was able to phase through walls. Manei was very impressed.

    At some point, my ghostly bedhseet was replaced with a Victorian dress.


    At the end of the dream there was this big wall of questions. It was something that my high school was doing in the dream. I remember reading one of the questions that somebody else had posted.

    "Why do dentists write on our teeth with a dark blue crayon? Wouldn't dark green be on a better wavelength?

    While I'm at it, how many dark blue crayons do they take away from small children who need them, after all it has been scientifically proven that little kids like the dark blue crayons?"

    I looked through most of the other questions on the wall. Most of them were long and complex like that one, but I didn't bother to read all of them.

    Manei said that she wanted to put a question on the wall. There was a bin of cards. She used some kind of power on it and it began rapidly cycling through a large number of words and phrases until it landed on one single word.

    'why'

    She posted that up in the middle of the wall.

    "Why is a beautiful word because you can always ask 'why' something is the way it is. Sometimes you will arrive at an answer, and others you will not. But you can always keep asking questions. Why does this school exist? Why do I exist?"

    "Why does this dream carry on even though the core message has already been conveyed?"

    "Exactly."


    I went back into semi-lucidity and we sat down in the back of the class that was sitting in the gym. One of the teachers was giving a presentation, but I paid no mind to what he/she was saying. I decided that this would be an opportunity to try blobularwindmils dare of drawing something and making it come to life. But somehow I remembered the dare wrong and thought that I was to draw something that was already alive.

    I was looking at Manei trying to figure out how to start drawing her face. She looked over at me and gave me this big goofy smile. I told her to hold that pose for a moment. I lost the dream and woke up.


    -WBTB-

    Some weird nonlucid bits. I was a member of this tribe who live in a wasteland. I was looking out over our village that we were building. The dream was strangely very clear here.

    I remember we were living in a sand gully. There were these huge gray mushroom structures all around. They were miles tall and clouds wrapped around their bases. It was a strange, alien world. I was considering starting a farm/garden to grow food for our people and had found a nice area of land next to the village.

    Just then, like magic, the leader of our villiage approached me and asked me to do just that, start a farm and grow food for everyone. I told him I would get right on it.

    ...

    The dream somehow gave way to a dream about this Star Wars game where you would create a team of Jedi with different skills and weaknesses and they would battle one another or other opponents.

    In the game they were chasing this big cyborg guy through this space station.

    ...


    I found myself fully lucid once more in the living room at my aunt and uncle's house. Manei was there in one of the chairs. She said something to me that I couldn't make out, like she was mumbling or something. I kept moving closer and ask her to repeat herself.

    By the fourth or fifth time, I was practically leaning in her face. She had her headband on. Also, for some reason her hair was really shiny. Overall the experience of seeing her was vivd. (Much more than it had been in the last dream.) She just looked like a completely real person.

    "I want to hear you call me 'Kitten'"

    *tries not to laugh* "Okay, whatever you say, Kitten..."

    "And your nickname can be Jaylen!"

    "Why 'Jaylen'?"

    "I don't hear you coming up with a better one."

    "Why not 'Jade', like my Dreamviews profile name?"

    *giggles* "Okay."

    She then decided to give me a hug. I hugged her back and the dream blurred out and I woke up.

      My interpretation:
      fighting the fat person: you were fighting gluttony and overeating. The fact that you were creating weapons suggests that you were looking for inner strength within to resist food. The black hole represents the chaos and fear in your life, and the fact that you were getting sucked in means it is affecting you and taking you to a new place in your life. However, you were flying, so there is a part of you that is in control.
      The fact that you were a ghost might mean that you are worried about/afraid of dying and don't know that you could be raised from the dead and not a ghost. I often have dreams about being in high school again, and that you were a ghost in high school could mean you never want to stop learning, that God wants you to learn something. The lesson in the high school was "why", so God wants you to know why you exist. The dream doesn't end there because it is a metaphor for life that just goes on and on forever.
      The part where there were mushrooms in a wasteland is the metaphoric waste in your life, it is a wasteland where there is a lot of boredom and depression but no good fruit. good fruit is a metaphor for lots of goodness and prayer and good projects and friends and happiness. You wanted to create good fruit through gardening, for everyone to eat, not just yourself, and then God told you, yes, I want you to do that. Go forth and grow good fruit for me and everyone to eat and cherish and live forever, I want you to.
      You were dreaming about star wars because there is still a battle going on in your life, like in the beginning of the dream while you were fighting the fat character.
      The dream ended in family because family time is good fruit and you succeeded in abandoning the wasteland and growing good fruit. Let me know what you think of my interpretation. No hard feelings!

      Your interpretation is good, but I feel as though without the proper context, you missed some points.

      fighting the fat person: you were fighting gluttony and overeating. The fact that you were creating weapons suggests that you were looking for inner strength within to resist food.
      Well perhaps. I've never had problems with controlling myself and eating too much. I know that some of my friends like to eat a lot, but I've never had much of an appetite IWL.

      Large amounts of food/eating contests do occur a lot in my dreams though as a dream sign.

      The black hole represents the chaos and fear in your life, and the fact that you were getting sucked in means it is affecting you and taking you to a new place in your life. However, you were flying, so there is a part of you that is in control.
      Possibly the most accurate part. Due to my lucidity, I didn't fear the black hole at all, but I still wanted to escape its clutches. I suppose I took it as a challenge for myself, to see if my dream control was strong enough to hold me up against the lack of lucidity.
      The fact that you were a ghost might mean that you are worried about/afraid of dying and don't know that you could be raised from the dead and not a ghost.
      I've (strangely) never been afraid of dying outright. Even when I was a little kid, I accepted the fact that one day I was going to die. I am afraid of the pain that accompanies some modes of death, and I am afraid of letting other people down and hurting feelings.

      I often have dreams about being in high school again, and that you were a ghost in high school could mean you never want to stop learning, that God wants you to learn something. The lesson in the high school was "why", so God wants you to know why you exist.
      I don't think that anybody should ever want to stop learning new things.

      And I think that the question of 'Why' is really just meant to signify the search for knowledge. You should never stop questioning things. This is why they say little kids make good lucid dreamers, because they take things into question more than adults. As adults, we are taught not to ask 'Why' and just accept things for what they are.

      The part where there were mushrooms in a wasteland is the metaphoric waste in your life, it is a wasteland where there is a lot of boredom and depression but no good fruit. good fruit is a metaphor for lots of goodness and prayer and good projects and friends and happiness. You wanted to create good fruit through gardening, for everyone to eat, not just yourself, and then God told you, yes, I want you to do that. Go forth and grow good fruit for me and everyone to eat and cherish and live forever, I want you to.
      Generally speaking this is likely correct. The question then becomes what part of my life specifically is this referring to?

      You were dreaming about star wars because there is still a battle going on in your life, like in the beginning of the dream while you were fighting the fat character.
      Have you ever heard of the 83rd problem? The idea that there will always be 82 problems in your life, and if you make it your ambition to get rid of every single one, you will fail, and that will become the 83rd problem in your life. In that sense, I have accepted that there will always be conflicts in my life, and it will simply take too much time and effort to try and solve every single one. Particularly when your problems are so petty and unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

      In other words, the art of war states that "He who will win knows when to fight and (more importantly) when not to fight."
      The dream ended in family because family time is good fruit and you succeeded in abandoning the wasteland and growing good fruit.
      Actually there was no family involved in this dream. Just a room that was akin to one in my aunt and uncles house. Manei is my persistent Dream Guide. She just likes to be silly sometimes.
      Let me know what you think of my interpretation. No hard feelings!
      There is no reason to be apologetic for trying to interpret another person's dreams. In fact, I'm very happy that you decided to give my DJ entry a look and put so much thought into reading deep into it. I think that your interpretation, though inaccurate, shows thought and depth beyond the literal meaning of the dreams. The context is very important to dream interpretation, and (since this is the first comment I've gotten from you) It's safe to say that you aren't very aware of how my previous dreams have behaved.

      Also, I saw your PM. I got my red belt in Taekwondo back in the fall, and am currently working on my second red, then bo-dan, and Black Belt. Though quite frankly, I'm not as good as my rank makes me out to be. I've become a little out of practice as of late, being distracted with college and all. I don't think belts in taekonwdo (or any martial art) really mean too much in the grand scheme of things. I take Taekwondo because I enjoy it, not because I want bragging rights or the highest belt. (I have also purposefully advanced much slower than other members of our studio as to simply enjoy the journey and learn as much as I can at each level.)

      I'm very happy to have found another person here who has also taken a liking to the sport. So following up with Manei's lesson, I'm going to ask 'Why'. Why did you you decide to interpret my dream and message me, of all the users on the website?

      When you say the old shared dreaming group, do you mean the one with wakingnomad,ravenknight,ManofShred and some other people?
      'why'
      She posted that up in the middle of the wall.
      "Why is a beautiful word because you can always ask 'why' something is the way it is. Sometimes you will arrive at an answer, and others you will not. But you can always keep asking questions. Why does this school exist? Why do I exist?"
      "Why does this dream carry on even though the core message has already been conveyed?"
      I like the question she chose. It's broad and it'll make anyone who looks up at it really think. Almost like a work of art in one single word.

      *tries not to laugh* "Okay, whatever you say, Kitten..."

      "And your nickname can be Jaylen!"

      "Why 'Jaylen'?"

      "I don't hear you coming up with a better one."

      Haha This part was cute.
