Morning of June 2, 2018. Saturday.



In my last dream of this morning, I was happily splashing through rain puddles, like a kid again (which is moot, as my non-lucid subconscious self cycles through various random ages anyway as it lacks temporality and does not have viable access to my unconscious mind as the conscious self does in waking life). Funnily enough, this was liminally influenced by an episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond”, seen just prior to going to bed, the one where Raymond tells his father NOT to splash in rain puddles, actually the last thing I saw before going to sleep.

It was not raining in real life at the time.

Water (lakes, rivers, a bathtub full of water, waterfalls, water slides, floods, rain puddles, and so on) is autosymbolism for sleep and the biological dynamics of the dream state. It is metaphorically associated with the tidal factors of Earth and the beginning or ending of an ultradian rhythm cycle. This dream additionally correlates with water-lowering waking symbolism (WLWS), a continuous factor of my dreams on a day-to-day basis for over fifty years, though usually in only the last dream of a sleep cycle (due to its link to ultradian rhythm patterns and the circadian rhythms of sleeping and waking by way of RAS mediation and modulation as well as the activity of the glymphatic system of which is augmented in REM sleep).
