I'm abroad with a group of friends. Initially, it seems like I'm in Russia. First, the idea is that I need to volunteer hours in order to get my CPA. I'm calling this person who is setting up a volunteer event. The message tells me that there is an event from 12-7, the first 30 minutes of which would be training and then the rest would be the event. I get my phone out and do some research to try to figure out what the event actually is. It seems like the event is either a graduation or some sort of ceremony in an old folks home. The building in the picture is pretty beaten up with a green roof and lining. I'm now at the place which seems to be an old factory. I go inside and get the feeling that it is actually more like a hotel in which people are walking up and down the stairs as well as going to do their laundry on one of the floors. I'm hiding for some reason. The dream goes over to what I believe to be Zagreb, Croatia. I'm standing in the middle of a crowd watching a show. On stage is this one man dressed in an S&M outfit screaming lyrics. There are other women on stage dancing around dressed in the same stuff. I look to my left and see Kolby is there with me. The people on stage are screaming very satanic lyrics which was visibly upsetting Kolby as well as me a little bit. The guy on stage screamed "6 6 and another 6." We're in a crowd but it's more like each person has 2 yards in between one another and looking back I see there's really only about 50 people at the show. A large woman on stage sees Kolby is upset and yells pointing at him. I remember saying out loud "okay I'm not that religious but this is making me uncomfortable too." Kolby leaves. I'm standing there and a girl on the right of me starts telling me that I should come with her to the bars after the show. Another girl on my left says pretty much the same thing. I take note of that and leave. I find Kolby and JP. I tell them we should go to Split which is a coastal city in Croatia. They agree and we take a ship over really rough water there. We get there and it looks more like Roman ruins with a massive old temple-like cave engraved in a mountain. We go around there and find the actual city on the coast. We were supposed to come with other people but apparently we got an early ship. Now the waters are too rough and it looks like we might be here a while. The city looks sort of like the back alleys of Venice. I'm trying to figure out how we're going to sleep there, looking up hostels on my phone. There's no wifi. I'm looking at an offline map on my phone looking for hostels. I say out loud "I've stayed at this one hostel but it was such a long hike every day." The boys say that they don't really want to stay in a hostel because they need sleep. My friend Jordan comes out of nowhere. I ask her for hostel recommendations and she says "One Hostel." Well that was good enough for me. I follow her directions into an underground space that has 10 or so women sewing or selling items in a shop. I see a sign on the wall that says "One Hostel" along with some other words. Behind a counter is a woman sewing with glasses on, not seeming to pay attention to me. It doesn't seem ideal so I decide to go somewhere else.
Morning of July 8, 2018. Sunday. In my dream, I am wandering around, uncertain of the nature of my current situation. The setting is an ambiguous blend of King Street (where I have not been at all since 1994), and Stadcor Street (where Zsuzsanna and our family and I have not lived in years). It is rendered in a way that is about fifty percent of each, yet I am not confused by this mix and seem to be walking to where Dennis (half-brother on my mother’s side) used to live. I walk through a narrow alley toward an area that opens into a vacant parking lot. Three unfamiliar males approach me and I expect trouble. One male presses the small of my back, apparently with a weapon. It does not hurt, but there is a strange sustained sensation that always served before to immediately wake me since early childhood. However, I do not wake from this, though as I am not lucid, I am not aware of what it usually does to me. It happens three different times as I choose to try to walk slowly away to the entrance of another alley on the other side of the parking lot. Normally, this back jab event (rendered in dreams in a number of different ways) sends me nearly flying out of bed with its intensity. In this case, it is softer, but still dominates my otherwise illusory physicality. I almost suspect that it did not wake me (though of course I did wake eventually) due to getting older and I wonder if it indicates a biological change, though may possibly be a new form of non-lucid dream control. The parking lot is very common autosymbolism for a specific level of sleep, representing how the body is not typically moving (or is not supposed to be) during REM sleep. It is usually the last setting to be rendered when featured in a dream and I typify it as a liminal space representation (as a parking lot also is in waking life), though not a transitional liminal space buffer as a porch is.
Morning of July 9, 2018. Monday. I am in our present home in my dream, though which seems rotated from north to west, perpendicular to its real location on the corner (intersection). Our youngest son is building a biplane from Lego. However, when I look again, it seems he has changed it so that it is now a building. He is sitting on our youngest daughter’s bed (where he had slept temporarily). I puzzle over this. I visualize the Lego biplane as being vertical and upright, but then consider that I may have only been looking at the “skeletal” foundation of the building (even though it was an actual transformation typical of the dream state). This dream is based on very common (an average of more than once per sleep cycle) anticipatory autosymbolism for vestibular system correlation. This does not always result in actual “flight” or a direct change in physicality upon waking (such as a hypnopompic kick or common falling sensation). In this case, with the bed as the literal dream state indicator, with an airplane autosymbolism for physicality in regard to VSC, it simply represents standing up after getting out of bed, though is also an association with our youngest son sometimes standing on this same bed in reality. Some previous (posted online) dreams in which a biplane or biplane hang glider has featured include: Biplane Hang Glider Mishap, February 27, 2016 Biplane in my Pillow, April 4, 2012 Water from a Biplane, December 20, 2010 Biplane Directive, January 2, 1972 They are not as common as other flight symbols (that is, dream state contemporaneous symbolism of VSC, which is usually unrelated to waking life), such as helicopters, of which have featured in hundreds of my dreams since childhood, some featured in my entry “40 Helicopter Dreams”, posted on May 20, 2018.
Date of Dream: MON 9 JUL - 2018 Dream No. 370 - Separated Sections Dream 370 A - Very Important Meet-Up I don't remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, the dream started off in the front outside car park of Endeavour Hills Shopping Centre. Many Killester girls were there, including the ones from my bus run in real life. I got onto the bus and just like in real life, I was helping the bus driver and making sure he was going down the right roads. The bus drive took almost all day and ended when it was nearing the evening and the sky was turning an orange-pink colour. I forgot where the bus stopped though. The bus driver had pulled over on the side of the road and I let myself out of the bus. The bus still hadn't reached Killester though and so I thought I'd walk the rest of the way. I was walking along the Princes Highway and was approaching the intersection of Corrigan Road, so I decided to turn down that way. A while down Corrigan road and the neighbourhood started to look slightly different than I remember it being in real life. Eventually, I came across this blue van and there was Murray in his Sly 4 appearance and some other man waiting for me. I approached the other man and apparently it was the post man. He started talking to me for a while but I forgot what about. Then Murray joined in and was talking to me as well, saying that he and the postman were doing something before and that they were waiting for me. Although I have forgotten what was said, I can recall that it was something very important. That's all I can remember about this dream. Dream 370 B - Too Good To Be True I don't remember much about this dream. From where I can remember, I was walking along Jacksons road and about half way down, I see this visible light forming into shape and so I stopped; it was Dreamy WB appearing right before my eyes. She had formed into a human figure, in her Oktoberfest outfit, but had a feint glow of white light energy around her. She came towards me and gently put her hands below the sides of my jaw, pulling me in towards and actually kissing me numerous times! It was almost like smooching but it wasn't lip-to-lip, she was doing in on my forehead. That's all I remember about this dream. Dream 370 C - Back In High School Days I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was at back at Killester and was having Vocal Group in the music rooms with Mrs O'N. I was in the music corridor by myself and was writing the words to the song called “On Holy Ground”, but I wasn't writing the actual words to the song, I was writing my own words to it which really sounded stupid when I sung it, but in the dream I seemed to like it. I looked over into one of the other rooms and I saw WB in there, sitting for an Arts Committee meeting. In the dream, she was in the leadership committee; she wasn't in real life. She walked past Mr McPh. who was sitting on a rotatable desk chair near the front door to the room and they spoke before she left the room. I wanted to speak to her but she walked by too quickly, and so I thought to myself, “lets get looking!”. Mrs O'N had come past and so I told her I was just going to quickly bail out of Vocal Group for this lunch time. When I was outside, I saw LB's group of friends sitting somewhere but I didn't see LB with them. I ended up asking Bij., “Where's LB?”, it seems she didn't want to answer me though. I gave her an innocent look like I wanted to know. Bij. then told me that it was a secret. That's when I told Bij., “Trust me! Look, you can tell me anything. I promise I won't share it with anyone else, okay?”. She accepted then and told me that the reason LB wasn't with them is because she had to change subjects. She didn't do well in a subject and so had to change it, but not before she had to face her dad. I then internally thought to myself, “Uh oh, LB's in danger...”. Eventually, I reached the library and WB came out of the little room where all the mac desktop computers were. She didn't really say anything though and as I realised lunch was about to end, I decided to head back to the music rooms. When there, I came to my senses now and so was literally hoping that the Vocal Group weren't using my silly rendition of “On Holy Ground”. I was relieved when I found them singing the normal version and my sheet was in the bin. It then became the end of lunch and in this dream, WB was in year 12 but there was a bonus year level above hers that I was in. I went into room KD01 to have classes with the rest of the bonus year level. When the teacher came in, it was this Indian lady that I don't remember seeing in real life. Apparently we were doing what was known as “Advanced VCE, the way the Indians do it”. Period 5 was maths and so this lady was our maths teacher. She was so strict and what she was writing on the board looked like gibberish to me... I understood nothing. Unfortunately, I actually started to fall asleep in the class and so the lady told me off. I ended up taking points off myself (which will be explained later in the recap). Then this boy TC was also finding it hard to concentrate and so was fiddling with these large random plastic balls taken off an abacus. The teacher ended up telling TC off and yelling at him harshly as well. So when the teacher continued to talk and explain things to the class, me sitting next to TC, got his attention. I whispered for him to look and then I started writing things on the table with a rainbow texta. I wrote something like “Teacher yelling = 10 points taken away from you”. Apparently each time someone would be told off, I'd take these so called points off them and when they had zero points remaining, they would be knocked out by some anaesthetic in order to permanently sleep so they couldn't get in trouble anymore. I told TC that I previously took 5 points off myself. I said to him, “The reason I took less off myself is because I have a bigger concentration span, so I can last longer”. I said that I took 10 off him and so if anything else happened, he would be knocked out soon. Class then finished and when I looked at my printed timetable,I discovered that period 6 was supposed to be music with the teacher being AD! Only when it was the start of Period 6, another teacher walked in and so I became confused. Apparently, we were have a mixture of an ethics and homeroom period instead. The next dream scene took place back in my local area. I was talking a walk around the streets when I decided that I wanted to summon Dreamy WB. The dream stops me at the bottom of the hill where the dream camera zooms into this yellow brick retaining wall to show me a wear sight. All these little people are growing out of the wall but none of them look like Dreamy WB; they were all African though. Some were appearing as boys with not enough hair and others were appearing as girls with too much hair. I decided that I would fuse a group of them together which then gave me an accurate replica of Dreamy WB. The dream then ended there.

Blue Opossum’s Dream Canon Page 2 Afternoon of July 8, 2018. Sunday. Henceforth, these pages are to be the sole resource for resolving any potential for erroneous or ambiguous conclusions regarding any content posted in any of my previous entries since 2004. Some of the main factors of the dream state (though not inherent to all dreaming and waking transitions) other than literalism: Unification and coalescence (and in contrast, dream state cessation autosymbolism) Thinking skills correlation, more so as precursory consciousness testing or initialization Vestibular system correlation Liminal space buffering Subliminal, liminal, and lucid dream state indicators Ultradian rhythm anticipation (both biological and emotional) There is more, but I will only address these six in this entry and more in another entry. None of these very common components of the dream state relate to waking life or the concept of symbolism in the non-contemporaneous sense. They are traits of the dreaming and waking process itself. People who have the inability to grasp what dreams are and what they are doing (which ultimately includes the majority of people alive today) will likely not be able to come to terms even with the obvious. One of the reasons I am writing this canon is because I have zero interest in discussing or debating what I already know beyond an iota of doubt. Note that these factors typically combine, depending on the particular dream. Unification and coalescence is the final part of the waking process. It is simply based on wholeness of consciousness after waking. I typically experience this in my dreams in a number of different ways, the most pleasant autosymbolism of this being the act of hugging (the emergent consciousness factor). Other examples are seeing another dream character being swallowed. (This is a projected form of the “final fate” of the illusory dream self, similar to seeing another dream character fall from a cliff instead of the dream self experiencing the fall.) In contrast to coalescence is dream state cessation autosymbolism, though sometimes these factors are combined. “End of the world” scenarios, a very common form of dream state cessation autosymbolism, seem to occur continuously for many people (regardless of what sort of events or experiences they have had in waking life). Mine are rarely nightmarish. Additionally, it has always been extremely rare for me to “die” in a dream (a result of understanding dream state autosymbolism). “End of the world” dreams begin to occur when a child begins to develop a more complex way of thinking and reasoning and of course, reason is not typically a factor of the dream state, hence this form of cessation autosymbolism. Thinking skills correlation is a factor of the waking process and its autosymbolism relates to schools, libraries, and technology. Failing a test (or basically even going back to school) in a dream simply means that the subconscious self is not the conscious self as in reality. It goes through the process as autosymbolic of the return to consciousness. There really is not much more to it than that. Vestibular system correlation is a biological factor of the dream self’s lack of discernment of physicality while not conscious. This is why flying and falling are so common in both lucid and non-lucid dreams. Ultimately, flying is much easier in dreams than walking (or driving a car), as it is the natural discernment of the dream state, as physicality is inherently illusory in the dream state anyway (why dreams of losing teeth are also common). I fly at one point or another in the majority of my dreams. I could be walking along on the sidewalk, become slightly annoyed by environmental factors (such as walking on mud for example, or there being too much traffic around) and easily and automatically take to the air as if it was the most natural thing in the world. My dream self has mostly always held this focus that flying is something that requires no thinking or effort, whereas walking, though typically only in the first dream of virtually every sleep cycle, almost always results in tripping and falling. The transition of rising up and out of a dream is about as common as falling, though each sometimes occurs during the same dream sequences, for example, falling and then suddenly rising up and out of the dream state (which of course renders the assumption of any waking life “meaning” as preposterous). Flying, falling, and rising dreams are far more vivid (as well as more likely to occur) when activity that is more physical (especially walking a considerable distance) has been indulged in during the previous day, though riding in an elevator prior to sleep also augments this factor. The most vivid falling dream I ever had was shortly after riding the log flume ride at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Liminal space buffering (and the preconscious bulwark) is a major factor of non-lucid dream control as well as apex lucidity. This involves mediation and modulation of waking process autosymbolism. The best example is how I use doors (both lucidly and non-lucidly) to deliberately leave the dream state as well as to enhance vividness when a desire for sustaining my dream is present. I have sometimes even pushed an entire wall aside like a sliding door to vivify and sustain the dream state to an extraordinary level. I also summon dream state denizens (angelic servants) from doorways, from behind curtains, from over walls (less common and more difficult), from within walls, and so on (though also typically from rivers, lakes, trees, or waterfalls). Usage of windows for this has proven to be a tad bizarre (probably because windows are usually not used to go in and out of a house in waking life and thus the literalistic factor dominates) and is never recommended. When I attempted to use a window to sustain and vivify my dream on one occasion, the results were unexpected. It resulted in such an exaggerated (though illusory) sense of weight and physicality in almost painfully crawling up and over the bottom of the window to the other side, with my dream then vivified and sustained to such an extent, it is difficult to believe even now. Nevertheless, experience and knowledge is what counts in the end. Subliminal, liminal, and lucid dream state indicators are very common in my dreams, to where they typically occur at least once per sleep cycle, though as with vestibular system correlation, sometimes in most dreams of a sleep cycle. These factors are typically rendered as literalism, but there are many second level (and third level, etc.) autosymbolic factors. Such features are typically beds, being undressed (including in public), not wearing shoes, being in a bedroom (including in a false awakening), and so on. As it is not biologically possible to be fully unaware of being in REM sleep, I often move through various stages of subliminal, liminal, and lucid awareness of dream state indicators. I will sometimes deliberately (lucidly or semi-lucidly) cause my clothes to vanish (even in a public library where many people are around) because of this, when I want to indulge in lovemaking with Zsuzsanna. In direct contrast, if I am walking in a business building while lucid and my shoes begin to dissolve (because of the recall that I do not wear shoes while I sleep), I lucidly will them back. Beds (and bedrooms) in some cases serve as apex lucidity triggers because of their literal link to the dream state. Ultradian rhythm anticipation (both biological and emotional) is responsible for dreams of being late or a sustained focus on what time it is. There are many other forms of relevant literalism and autosymbolism, which are too extensive for this entry at this time. The WBTB or “Wake Back to Bed” method of lucid dreaming is a factor based on ultradian rhythm. However, I have never needed any sort of “practice” or any “information” (often of which is based on popular misconceptions about dreams). This is because lucid dreaming, for me, has always been an entirely natural trait since earliest memory (even prenatally, where I still recall making stars and letting them fade and “oscillating” with them as I did so, as well as effortlessly flying and going “back” to my body when I was two and three). The factors that I have explained here should all be obvious to anyone of reasonable intelligence. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that the majority of people would favor truth over personal bias or long-held superstition. Most people will still prefer to wear a virtual blindfold through life, especially when it comes to dreams and their legitimate causes, meanings, and effects. This information can all be experienced and validated (by anyone with a genuine interest in dreams or with any interest in eradicating the virtually endless misconceptions about dreams in today’s society) by way of mastership meditations. For example, the first factor, unification and coalescence, is augmented in waking life by the mirror meditation, where the self is seen in infinite forms in mirrors arranged on the left and right sides (each mirror continuously reflecting the one on the other side, as well as the body reflected infinitely). Then, looking forward into the one mirror facing the body, the one image reflected is the self in unification. This entry is subject to change only for purposes of clarification.

Just got a fragments this time. Bummer... Log 1165 - Fused Form Paradox Scrap Created Saturday 07 July 2018 Scrap Group 1 In a mall. Eventually, (SSJB) Vegeta and Goku appeared out of nowhere to fight against fused Zamasu. Extreme property damage ensues. I lost sight of them. All this excitement gets me to change into Vegitto. I flew around to look for Zamasu. I also powered up, but it seemed I couldn't use this form's god energy. Later on, Bulma and some other minor characters confronted me. They claimed I didn't actually shapechange, but rather took possession of such a form from an alternate timeline. And so, they intended to change me back via one of Bulma's gadgets, even if by force. Not feeling ready for that, I turned invisible, then rushed off to hide in a nook. When Bulma passed by, I overloaded the device with an electrical surge, and fled. In an assembly hall, I finally encountered Zamasu. Even without access to my form's full power, I still could hold my own against the mad god. Log 1166 - Friend's Supposed Place Scrap Created Sunday 08 July 2018 Scrap Group 1 At a friend's supposed new apartment with Jonathan. Numerous other guests showed up. I got self conscious of my hair. Later on, we decide to go for a car ride. But, all we had was a tiny Beetle. Nowhere near enough space to fit everyone. I opted to just walk home.
