      The regular WBTB with alpha GPC and GM

      38 min WBTB, sofa at 5:38

      Upon waking up, I didn't write anything down. There was lot's of darkness, not much coherent stuff going on.

      I did the Recall task again, was easy and I remembered pretty much everything I practiced before bed, so I lost interest in it soon.

      Lots of hover flying again.

      Looking for a rope for another personal goal - to grab it and be pulled up to space, or just to swing on it for fun. I desperately wanted to find it, but no luck.

      Had a cool non-LD at 4 am, when alarm woke me for Alpha GPC.

      DR:
      I'm in my childhood room, looking out the balcony door. The skies are getting really dark. Black swirling clouds are ominous looking. To the left high up, on the black clouds there is about 5 flags. All in full color, all of what look like real country flags. I'm not sure now if I recognized any of them, even if in WL I do know flags.

      I ran to grab my camera and I open the balcony door to get a better picture from the outside. I immediately regret it, because a tornado force wind start to push the door open against me. I try my hardest to close it and we wrestle for a bit. I have to drop my camera to use 2 hands.

      While this is happening, to the right, over a house, black smoke like cloud is taking a shape of head of that octopus dude from Pirates of the Caribbean. It's taking shape and losing it, as the small particles in the cloud are shifting and blowing around. Another shape is taking form in another cloud and I realize it's not really a cloud.

      ( seeing images in the skies does happen in my dreams. I think I like seeing them, even if they weird me out.)

    2. Getting recall back slowly and Viatorem?

      by , 06-08-2017 at 11:24 PM (MoSh's DJ: The Best Dream Journal in The Universe.)
      Peanut butter cups are now my official recall aid.

      Ok computer

      In a weird room with some nerdy guy on a giant computer. I was trying to search for music but he ws stopping me. He went on some gaming forum and I was watching him scroll through it. Pretty boring.

      Wal mart

      I'm working wal mart again but all the workers i know from mcdonald's work there instead. We are trying to stop a flood from from the top shelves. We use Styrofoam stuff? not sure.

      I go to clean the vestibules and notice that the sisters from the north store are there, C and C. they are still young beautiful and up to no good. The taller one notices me and smiles. She waves. I shyly wave back and go in between the doors to clean. They keep popping their heads around the corner to get my attention. I find it funny.

      Trooper

      I was in the same area as the previous dream but I was in Trooper's car (he's a youtube Vlogger documenting his life in vegas as a poker player https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSKG_qk60r0) I have Bjork's music on in his car. It's a song I seem to know in the dream but I haven't heard it while awake. He gets in and starts driving he then notices the music and then violently shuts it off.

      Bus Terminal


      I'm walking on a street near the bus area in Lethbridge. I'm with some girl who's taller than me who has long black or brown hair around or past the shoulders I think, kind of thick hair and sporting large sunglasses. She's like a cross between Jamie and Kaomea. She goes up to a taller guy which may have been Data and asks him for something. I get mad at this for some reason (My dream self is extremely dumb in social situations and likes to run his mouth). I say something like she seems about as deep as a bowl of soup... lol I'm so mean for no reason. She starts protesting and walks after me asking what my problem is. I keep ranting myself for some reason, get to the curb and wake up. If that's viatorem I'm sorry, I don't really know what my problem was.
    3. Dawn takes his job too seriously

      by , 06-08-2017 at 10:50 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I haven't been posting or lucid dreaming much since the lag-ocolypse hit Dreamviews, but this dream from a couple of days ago caught my eye because of DawnEye's guide Dawn making an appearance in this semi lucid.

      In the dream I am making an attempt to do shared dreaming with DawnEye11. I am in this hospital feeling room where there is a large bed with a nightstand on either side. The room is almost all white with a blue and light gray checkered tile floor and a small kitchen along the front wall with a coffee maker and microwave. There is also a TV and small sofa. Dawn and Manei come into the room, accurate to their normalized appearances save for Dawn having really short buzzcut hair. We meet and talk for a bit. Dawn explains something about DawnEye11 (using her real name in the conversation that I will not use since I don't know if she wants me to or not.) that he needs to attempt a shared dream from my mind in order to make an appearance in her dreams.

      A nurse woman comes in and tells us it is time to attempt shared dreaming. She closes the sunny window and the room becomes warm and dark. The three of us get into the large bed together and lay down, with some kind of metal helmets on to prepare for the shared dreaming. As we are climbing into bed Manei says to me "Alright when we get to her dream; we all have to make our appearance as cute boys to get her attention." I suggested it might be fun to mess with her. Manei laughed but Dawn was apparently taking this mission a little too seriously.

      When we were laying on the bed I was in the middle, laying face up with Manei to my left and Dawn to my right. I felt myself become aware of their energies. Becoming aware of a DC's energy or aura is always a mixture of sensory experiences. Manei's aura is as it has been; orangeish colored and warm like a sunny beach. But this was my first time feeling Dawn's aura that was light blue and smelled like flowers. I felt myself invert; in a way that felt sort of like how I've always imagined going OBE would feel, as though I was now facing downwards into the mattress, putting Manei to my left and Dawn to my right. They seemed to be going through the same thing as I.

      We began moving what felt like downwards. Dawn said he needed to monitor her to see if she was asleep yet so as to see if we could enter the dream. He made three of these thermometer like devices appear. They looked like thermometers but had one mercury bulb with three stems. One stem was straight up and the other went straight to the left. The third stem was much longer than the other two and was at a 45 degree angle downwards and to the left. There were three of these devices, though each one had different colored marking lines on the stems. The one of my left was blue, the one in front of me was green, and the one in front of dawn had red lines. The red mercury inside the device would pulse. Dawn said it was a heart rate monitor and that her heart rate was really high meaning she wasn't asleep or was likely doing something physically demanding, stating that it would likely be 8 or 9 hours before we entered the dream, and that we would be stuck here waiting for all of that.

      Then the three thermometers merged into a new one with black lines and a clock face appeared in the middle to show how long we would have to wait. We started waiting. We could still communicate in this state and went about some idle chatter but I forget what about. I began seeing throwing stars and waving metal chains dancing about in the black void. When I pointed them out to Dawn he became concerned about what was going on. He said that the chains had a lot of physical objects with all their links and they were taking up too much of the collective minds' processing power to run the physics for and that we had to back out of the shared dreaming attempt.

      The three of us woke back up into the hospital room. It was much darker in the room now. We started discussing why the chains and throwing stars appeared. Dawn thought that I had created them and accused me of doing so but Manei said that I didn't have any control in that state and couldn't create them even if I wanted to. Me and her started making cinnamon rolls for breakfast but Dawn didn't want to help cook. Manei told him if he didn't help cook he wouldn't get any food for him and would have to go hungry but Dawn was apathetic and brooding about the chains appearing in the dream state. Manei whispered in my ear "He's just being a sourpuss because he can't appear accurately like I can. Look at that haircut!" I started laughing really hard and Dawn cleared his throat and said "I heard that."


      o_o Manei stop being so mean. Dawn; stop taking your job so seriously.

    4. What Would You Do?

      by , 06-08-2017 at 09:45 PM
      What Would You Do?

      This was a non lucid dream but it got my attention as to what I would do in a violent situation. The first thing I can recall about the dream is entering a store with my mom. My mom wanted to buy a make it yourself cake box so we could have fun making cake together but we couldn't find the right one. Looking around we bumped into a upset crowd of customers complaining to the guys cooking soup. A African man
      had soup thrown at his head as he stood next to me than pointed out how he wasn't going to return. I left with my mom too after that and came across a path that seemed like a crossroad. There a group of kids and teens laughed and threw a dead little girl wrapped in a blanket to the wall. I screamed than jumped back. "They're going to see me and come after me. I want to help that girl but she's dead. I can't just let them get away with that."As I was pondering what to do the taller shouted for them to come after me. Seeing a boy run at me I jumped onto a pole with the intent to climb it but than stopped."Please don't hurt me"I said waiting for them to do their worst but than the taller boy told them to leave me alone than they left. The dream shifted after that and I was in my old house where my father and uncle were moving my stuff to another room. I was upset but distracted when my uncle's daughter put innocent children drawings on the wall that had disease and bacteria on them. She told her father not to touch them as if she reconciled with him and I went to wash my hand that had a cut on it, afraid I'd get infected after touching it. My younger brother was next to me watching.


      Graffiti Artists

      This dream was non lucid and Semi Lucid.I was talking to a guy about how the Spider man from the past came and had told me a secret. Apparently it had happened at 45. The guy I was talking to laughed than told me quickly to pick a color and hide in it. I chose a red velvet color on the flooring than was guided somewhere that was supposedly important. But looking around I was on a bridge under the highway. Not much was going to happen there so I flew in a direction where there were stores. Next thing I know I'm telling a man to stay off the streets and to take a taxi home when its night. After seeing him leave I notice there was a huge hole in the ground near a stop sign than see a group of people in sweaters who call themselves panthers trying to instill fear in the public. I stay my cheery self and pass by them where I see other people wearing animal sweaters and standing a good distance apart from each other. They look like Graffiti Artists. Anyways there I'm told to choose my place. I went along with it and chose the green sweater girl who apparently had the snake sweater.We were told to draw our animals but I woke up after that.

    5. Observation Deck

      by , 06-08-2017 at 07:51 PM (The Secret Life of Demons)
      Train Platform (nl/ld)

      I'm hovering as I'm searching for something I'm not well aware. The dream in front of me, which I've stuck my head into, reveals a train platform. I observe a man and woman step out onto the platform from out of nowhere (they looked like they entered via invisible door). The pair are rushing, a man already on the platform looks as though he's expecting the pair. He stops them though and gestures to the water. I see that he's telling them they can't go this way. The man appears frustrated and rushed, holding onto the woman while assessing the water as though he's considerating a creative option. I'm now gazing at the water too which is entirely flooding the earth and is about to rise to cover the platform. Not much time left, they better get off that...

      The couple exits in the same manner they arrived.

      Stealing from a Baby (nl)

      I'm somewhere, still searching for something. This time I'm less searching and more exploring. While doing this I get hungry and some black woman has a car, with a cooler, and delicious snacks inside. I see her retrieve something for herself and I invite myself to her stash of edibles. She's selfishly generous and while she grants me access, I can tell she's unhappy about sharing. What she fails to realize is that I don't give a fuck what she thinks. I continue my exploration as I enjoy a banana yogurt combination thing. I reach a bridge, with that cup of heaven in hand, but begin waking before I can get a foot onto it.

      Notes

      For whatever unknown reason the train platform reminded me of Shred, Asuka, and Data--not that I'm very educated on any of them, it just felt like them.
    6. Dream - The Retreat Throwback & Messy Matters

      by , 06-08-2017 at 11:32 AM
      Date of Dream: THU 8 JUN - 2017



      Dream No. 128 - Separated Sections


      Dream 128 A - The Retreat Throwback
      In this dream, I actually had a full licence and was driving my own car. I was on my way to Cranbourne to go and visit WB but as I had just gotten out of Dandenong, I subconsciously realised that she was not home. So, when I was on the freeway, I went past the Cranbourne exit and proceeded for Daylesford.

      When I got to Daylesford, I went to the dormitory and saw the class of 2017 girls in their cabins. I entered a few cabins and had short conversations with some of the girls. I then eventually found WB's cabin and spoke to her. I don't remember what we specifially said but I do remember her pleasantly smiling at some points. The conversation was interrupted by Ms L who was roaming the corridors, telling everyone to pack up quickly as they were leaving.

      So without much notice to WB, I headed outside and waited for the girls there. Soon, the girls poured out of the dormitory and towards the buses. As the girls headed towards the buses, I asked some of them if they wanted me to take their luggage back in my “compactor” (car boot). Three girls took the offer and so I asked them where they lived but then I decided I was just take all the luggage back to the school as I couldn't remember all their addresses.

      I was waiting for WB and she was one of the last girls to exit the dormitory. I asked her if she wanted me to take back her luggage but she politely declined. I don't remember anything else that happened in this dream.

      Dream 128 B - Messy Matters
      I was in the toilet of the old house and it was all dark in there. I was going to attempt to turn the light on but first I wanted Dreamy WB to be present. So I whipped my phone out and accessed the camera to get to her. She was there but her appearance was slightly distorted which at first freaked me out but I got used to it soon after. I then flicked the switch but nothing happened. Then after that, I found out that the toilet was at a weird angle and Dreamy WB's energy was diminishing, she was disappearing. Then when I was fully alone, I started to urinate but it wasn't going into the toilet, rather, it was spraying everywhere. I then woke up after that event.



      Special Note: All throughout the dreams I had, every single dream, it would always skip to a scene in my dining room sometimes, where I would be writing down the events in the dream I just had! EG. The Daylesford dream: After I left the dormitory, it went to the dining room scene and I wrote that I spoke to the girls. And then the dream would shift back to Daylesford and keep playing. Amazing!!

    7. Blue Or Green?

      by , 06-08-2017 at 05:12 AM

      I remember shifting from one setting to another as my awareness came to me. I became lucid when watching what seemed like a fighting game with small rpg characters. They were battling, jumping high onto buildings and gliding in what seemed like a rocky abandoned city type of setting where a small rpg referee was dressed in a Raman chef outfit.As I watched I saw one fighter was dressed in silver and another was wearing a brown headband. Also, they both had good combat moves with their hand and weapons but their burst of energy moves that seemed like tornadoes were different colors. One had a in btw blue and light blue color and the other had a green color.As I continued watching I was asked "Which do you like more? Blue or green?".I said both.

      Next I recall focusing on Dawn and Eye when suddenly I appeared in an underground huge cavernous area fixed to be occupied by a society. I was on the first level holding onto the bridge handles as I noticed Dawn and Eye were behind me talking to someone in what may have been a portal area. I ran across the bridge though observing what was under me. I saw people talking but they also looked liked manatees which reminded me of the nature show I saw. I didn't last long there though and appeared in my old house where my old room was. Taking a phone and closing the door I tried getting Dawn on the phone but a girl picked up. I asked if Dawn was there but she said no. I than told her to forget it. After tossing the phone I layed on the bed to relax but than a dc that looked like Roger Rabbit broke in the room. I hurried to the side than saw someone else run in and slam Rogger Rabit to the bed. "Forget it...I don't need you to be my bodyguard"I thought than took the roger rabbit and threw him like cardboard.Woke up after that.


      Notes
      I think i'm being asked these simple questions because I'm trying to understand who i'am more as a person.

    8. Low recall.

      by , 06-08-2017 at 03:35 AM (MoSh's DJ: The Best Dream Journal in The Universe.)
      Tying to adjust to the overnight work schedule.

      Replay

      This dream seemed to be a slight replay of my overnight shift. I'm at the backdoor crushing boxes and taking out garbage. I go into the restaurant but everything looks weird. there's weird solar panels all over the place.

      Asuka

      Asuka is shaking me awake in a false awakening. Data is emitting a high pitched sound standing at a window. Asuka said there is someone outside. I ask if it's Bjork? She says no. I tell data to shut up. He says he's testing out a new alarm system that detects strangers, if someone comes close by he opens his mouth and emits an annoying sound. I tell him to maybe make it less annoying. Can't remember the rest.
    9. Trump Steps Down

      by , 06-07-2017 at 04:09 PM
      I'm on a plane when the news comes. In an hours time, Trump is resigning. I can't believe it. The plane goes wild, and I just think about why it's out of the blue.

      we land in this giant mall complex that a lot of people live in. I walk with my friends in and around all these long routes toward what will surely be an amazing event. Not many people are there, and the floor in front of the podium is empty as he begins quoting bush and talking about how great he's been so far but is tired of the press.

      He starts his performance, which involves singing karaoke. I rush up to the front and find the floor is all trampolines, so I'm jumping up and down and making poses. I get right in front of trump and keep giving him thumbs up, and then an amazing moment happens. I jump up and make my whole body horizontal, and then mid-air me and donald fist-bump. It was glorious.

      The rest of the dream doesn't matter.

      Holy shit, I dream a lot about celebrities, fuck hahahah
      Anyways, I forgot to update yesteday, also don't remember any dreams from last night.


      06/06/2017
      I was on the phone with a friend of mine explaining him I think how Yezi's song "Anck Su Namun" is everything CL wanted to deliver for her american debut but couldn't. I also explained why I was virgin, but now I don't remember what I said. There's this famous korean celebrity called T.O.P who recently has been caught into a marijuana scandal (in real life), so in my dream, I saw his pocket full of marijuana, but in the dream, marijuana looked like little pink hairs; then I look at my hoodie and there's marijuana all over it, I got scared of people thinking I was doing drugs too.

    11. In Search of Another

      by , 06-07-2017 at 02:04 PM (The Secret Life of Demons)
      Trying to Locate Man of Shred (ld)

      It's a long way from where I am to where I need to find him. Worth the travel, if I can ever find him. The dreamscape is vast and the circles my mind has chosen to reside in (out of necessity) make travel inefficient. A father figure leads me through the country. He takes me through a field of tall grass which is clearly a road, but without cement. We enter a village area, the houses are smaller, about the size of single room lofts. Now I'm walking along the sidewalk and viewing the homes in the area as I pass them. The sunlight is softly fading through the windowpanes; the visual is quite lovely. Most of the homes are empty, but some have potted plants along the windowsill (inside). The town is quiet and deserted. I'm pondering the reasons for the emptiness and why we're taking our time to move through the town. I have no conclusion for why we've lingered.

      Home (nld & ld)

      I've traveled home, without that father figure. I'm tying up loose ends and am on my way out from the dream. Right before I leave, the house beside mine produces a tone I recognize. I step out of the car to gaze up at the window it's originating. The tone I heard was very similar to a Tibetan singing bowl. I stare at the window, gaining some degree of lucidity, but the person is hiding. I think of Shred but I realize that it might be best to not proceed inward. He is calling for my attention with the tone, but there's no attempt for him to leave the house. Also, I'm on my way to the airport so there isn't enough time for me to knock on his door (I was seconds away from waking). I'll have to come back later.

      Notes

      I feel as though I did find him (my spirit). Sadly, my recall has been neglected as I focused attention on restoration instead of exploration. I'm hoping to flip this now that I'm feeling restored to a greater degree.

    12. Dream - Evil Box & The Ultrasound "Genius" & TAFE Shenanigans

      by , 06-07-2017 at 02:02 PM
      Date of Dream: WED 7 JUN - 2017



      Dream No. 127 - Separated Sections


      Dream 127 A - Evil Box
      I don't exactly remember where I was but there was this strange box sitting on this small podium. This box was very bright with some graffiti-like art on it; I called it the “Willy Wonka” Box because that was the theme of the art. Now I did notice something odd about this box, like there was some bad aura coming out of it, with the lid of the box being open.

      I decided to approach the box and quickly slam the lid shut. By doing this, I thought the bad energy would be gone, being trapped in that box but I was wrong. This shiny, glowing pink hand shot the lid back open and went straight for me! Just as the hand was a few millimetres away from me, I felt someone pulling me away; it was NN. Now before I had time to perceive his energy, I was already on the course of waking up from fright.

      Dream 127 B - The Ultrasound "Genius"
      NB and I were with this ultrasound doctor, not in a consulting room, but rather a Kmart change room. Now this guy was “strange” because if NB or I dared to talk, he would “deduct a point” from us, holding these white cards with a red -1 on it. NB or I didn't talk the first time but he took a point away just to show that he wasn't someone who messes around. Even though NB was asking logical questions, the guy still took a point away.

      I then decided I wanted to make a move but I was afraid that the guy would take another point from me. I muttered under my breath, saying something like “mess with me and Dreamy WB will neck you”. The guy obviously didn't hear me as no one reacted when I finished, which is what I wanted. The dream then skipped ahead a bit towards to the end of the consultation. The guy was getting really annoying regarding the ultrasound, saying how patients always reject his advice and that if we said no to the ultrasound, we would be going against God and his will. Still, NB and I were tired of the guy and so we walked out and I woke up.

      Dream 127 C - TAFE Shenanigans
      I don't completely remember what happened in this dream. What I do remember is that JO and I were walking around my TAFE campus which looked slightly different to the real life place. I do remember seeing a few TAFE teachers but not what specifically happened there. At one point, I did notice NN walking past me and JO but he wasn't by himself, he was with his very own clone! Now this did not adopt the exact same appearance as his current day build. The clone was supposedly a 10 year old version of himself, claiming to be identified as his brother. That's all I can remember about this dream.
    13. The End of a Piece of the World

      by , 06-07-2017 at 09:38 AM
      Morning of June 7, 2017. Wednesday.



      I am in an unknown location, seemingly in someone’s backyard at one point. There is a long scenario where this part of the world (the setting in my dream) will soon be ruined by sunlight of too high a radiance. That is, plasma, for whatever reason, is somehow flowing closer to only this part of the world.

      It does not seem that bad at first. Some unknown people and I are involved in some sort of writing activity. I am sitting on the lawn. Over time, I am aware of the approaching danger. In the last scene, red dominates my dream. It is coming in with more heat and intensity. This also means that this part of the world will no longer exist. I roll on my side to escape the reach of the red beams, which seem almost like a giant magnifying glass being used as analogous to set a fire or burn an ant.

      Since childhood, red almost always symbolizes (in real time) the need to wake up (or that I had been sleeping for too long). In this case, I had absentmindedly switched sleeping positions to being on my right side in the first time in a few weeks. Even in my dream, there is the subliminal awareness of this being wrong and I even roll on my side in my dream. (I can only sleep well on my left side, or halfway on my stomach to my left. Sleeping on my right side almost always causes digestion problems even if I have not eaten in awhile, as well as physical distress at times.) Dreams such as this often serve as real-time waking mechanisms despite people failing to understand this primary purpose of dreams, although contrary to what some “experts” claim, dreams are sometimes more than just waking symbolism even though this one is limited to that function. Still, living in a world of the “dream interpretation” fallacy all my life is just as annoying as being in a world with people who claim dreams have no meaning at all.

    14. Malice in Wanderland

      by , 06-07-2017 at 07:15 AM
      Morning of June 7. 2017. Wednesday.



      The first main scene of my dream involves going to a very large unfamiliar post office, though there is the common indoors-outdoors ambiguity. There are a number of rows of post office boxes and drawers, though no interior walls or discernible building features. It seems to be late morning. The sky is overhead; no ceiling implied for the “post office”. It is somewhat like a simple maze in the last part of this scene. I see a group of about six police officers between two rows. In another area, there is an unfamiliar male in black appearing with a gun, though he is not a direct threat to me. Still, I do not want to be near him or the people he aims at from time to time. From an unrealistic distance, I am still able to read a yellow strip of writing below one post office drawer (in about the middle of the feature) that has something to do with needing a special code as well as the key in order to open it. It seems related to a business. I have a curiosity over what might be in the drawers, though I also consider there might not be anything.

      Several unknown males join me as I move around the rows of post office boxes to be out of the viewpoint of the man with the gun. He is not after us specifically but I consider that he may not want any witnesses regarding his activity towards others. He does not fire the gun at any point.

      Eventually, I leave the area and find myself in an unknown neighborhood. A young version of Zsuzsanna is to my right (though I am seemingly much younger as well, perhaps only about twenty). It is as if we have only been together for a short time. Walking ahead of us and to our left is a thin female with short and curly gray hair. She is unfamiliar and seems at least sixty years of age. She is wearing light-colored slacks and a blouse. She is carrying a large black-and-white cat on her right shoulder (which I assume to be male).

      Suddenly, there is some sort of change where Zsuzsanna is now somehow sitting on the lady’s right shoulder and I find myself carrying the large cat near my left shoulder. The old woman somehow caused this because she wants us to have a meal with her at her house and talks to us about this. Her cat was also apparently becoming difficult for her to control, which is why I am now holding it. I am holding it up and out with both hands and it struggles a bit but does not get away.

      We reach the area where she lives. She has one neighbor (also an older lady) to our right. The chicken-wire fence is lying on the ground, rolled out to where one must walk on it to get to another gate where there is a small enclosed garden area (which is about the same size in area as our bed and probably a real-time play on “garden bed” as a dream sign). It almost seems like it rolls out automatically (somewhat like an irregular carpet) by the will of the person going to the old woman’s house. I do not really feel like walking on wire mesh, so I hover slightly above it and slowly fly mostly in a vertical position to the enclosed garden area.

      Zsuzsanna, being already behind the first gate, is partly lying on her right side on the ground near the right internal corner of the garden fence, holding herself up with her arm. There is soon distorted imagery to where a couple large blades of tall grass partly block my view of her face, but this seems like some sort of “story” related to “Alice in Wonderland”. The old woman talks about a man who tends to her garden, but this becomes like a dream within a dream. The man is also seemingly playing a televised role, dressed as a farmer or a minimal clown as a farmer, but being called a “demon” in describing what he is doing in tending her garden and also having unusual snakes on display to the public. I consider if he feels odd about being called a “demon”, as they do not exist and there is nothing threatening or negative about his persona or activities. He seems to tolerate this in playing a role in a television show. He holds up a couple different snakes that he has cared for. One has a catlike head. The other has a black head on a light brown body but the head of which is like a miniature shark. There are no negative emotions of any kind in seeing this impossible imagery.

      Dreams do not really have “interpretations” in the naïve popular usage of the term but they often do have layers of meaning, primarily based on real-time levels of consciousness which may or may not relate more directly to the present conscious self status.

      There is a preconscious precursor here. Although he has a gun, it does not create enough of a sense of danger to activate the waking mechanism, which is a major function of dreams (though not the only function as some “experts” claim). The simple maze relates to finding specific threads of my conscious self identity for my temporary fictional dream self to find its way to the waking threshold. The post office probably has two underlying meanings, real-time communication between different levels of the self while not fully awake, and possible links to the collective unconscious (or even collective conscious). It may also relate to precognitive threads with someone the dreamer is not yet in communication with (and may not be for years), something I validated from childhood dreams relating to my “mystery girl” (Zsuzsanna).

      The dark cat represents a real-time factor of being asleep (and often represents an aspect of liminal space), as cats are known for sleeping a lot (as well as being active at night when people sleep).

      The personified preconscious takes on the form of an older woman carrying her cat. Her giving it to me relates to activating my emergent consciousness precursor. “Beyond the fence” is a metaphor for a shift in consciousness while in the dream state. The first fence is on its side because, in reality, I am lying down (sleeping) instead of being awake and standing up (thus it is a second-level dream sign). I often hover or fly very well and effortlessly in the final stage of a dream and without giving it much thought (which relates to lessening the hypnopompic jerk and waking more softly as it is premonitory of the biological falling sensation). My emergent consciousness (as a projection as the gardener with the snakes in some sort of skewed television role) is illogically called a “demon”, but in a very matter-of-fact sense, with no associations with negativity of any kind. This probably relates to my status of being in a world full of superstitious people who have little or no understanding of the dream state. The imagery, though slightly grotesque (primarily the snake with a black miniature shark head, which is a “less water” factor of which has continuously occurred in my dreams on a day to day basis for over fifty years and is both biological and symbolic on a number of levels) has no effect on my perception or emotions, just as with hypnagogia visuals (though this becomes more of a hypnopompic state). I wake very slowly and softly, with no physical hypnopompic effects.
    15. Dawn Seems Different

      I was laying on my bed when i became aware that I was in a dream and started touching my back where a string was attached. But feeling a presence walk through the door I closed my eyes. I could still see through them though. "Ah! Please don't do anything or hurt me"I said just being scared of it turning into a nightmare. Than I heard Dawn repeat what I said in a playful way than felt him move up closer which made me jump up a bit. Which is what he wanted. I than saw him move around me than fly up. I observed him closely after the fear dissipated than the scene shifted. I thought I was awake but I was in the dream and became aware of it. I was than asked by Dawn what my favorite animal was. I said birds, than dogs than cats. He told me his fav was cats than tickled my feet. I couldn't hold onto the dream much longer than woke up.

      Notes
      -------
      I called this dream Dawn seems different because his personality has changed from layed back/quiet to bold and loud. I still recall that dream where he couldn't stop laughing after I did something dum. ^^Hes still caring and helpful though.
