Morning of August 13, 1976. Friday.
Dream #: 3,525-07. Reading time: 20 sec.
I enter the Cubitis house’s southwest bedroom (where my school clothes are) in the late morning. I encounter a giant praying mantis that is about as tall as I am. It stands facing me (facing north) on the west side of the room. Curiously, I see it as an oddity, and I do not feel threatened by it. It does not attack me.
My dream was probably at least partly influenced by the movie “The Deadly Mantis” (1957) though I had seen these insects in real life.
