I enjoyed reading these, they sound like very enjoyable dreams.
The first one was a very pleasant read. Really nice dream. And the second one was really interesting. One of those that make me wish for the possibility of uploading videos of one's dreams and sharing them with others.
So both of these are probably obvious comments: (1) brother as dream sign (2) have you contacted your brother since these dreams started happening. I think maybe your subconscious wants you to. What I find weird in my dreams is how selective my mind is in which of my family members and coworkers to include in dreams: I dream a lot of my mother but only seldom of my father, my husband and older son feature prominently in my dream world but my younger son seldom does. Even though I work in a small team, three of my coworkers have made it into dreams of mine at times but the rest have not.
I sometimes have dreams about dreamviews as well, fun stuff, interesting how it was telepathically for you.
Yeah. It doesn't surprise me that it is so active in my subconscious at the moment, because I recently quit (or put a lot of attention to quitting) both. They can indeed become reliable dream signs, if I remember that I only do it when I'm dreaming. But there is no guarantee for that, because smoking has been so normal for me. Gotta train my prospective memory !
I would probably not have noticed it if your joint/cig dream from this night had not been the last one, followed by the link back to the prior DJ entry with smoking in the title which reminded me of reading that prior dream of yours.
Okay you know me better than I do...
Joints or cigarettes as dream sign?
Yes, indeed. I often have the thought that my subconscious held up her end of the bargain by providing me enough weirdness to make me lucid, but alas my conscious had no awareness whatsoever so my subconscious had to just conclude that my conscious is clearly not very smart while she is asleep.
I think it is a very subjective choice whether it is a dream or a fragment. My understanding is that if one has a sense that there was more to it then it is a fragment, whereas if one thinks this is it, then it is a dream. This morning I sat down to write down the fragment I remembered, but while I was writing I realized that it was not just a fragment, that I remembered a more complete dream than I thought I did.
