The Labrynth of the Mind

Dream 1: Gift Shopping (1 point)


In a library/bookstore. I’m looking for gifts, possibly for my Mom and my brother. There are several floors to the library, set up like the library at my alma mater, and the floor that I am on has some books for sale. I’m also wanting to cook something – maybe make some coffee. So, I’m hoping to find a cookbook to help me. But also I’m looking for gifts. There are some interesting looking books, at least one having to do with botany I think. I go to another floor, where there are tables set up. This looks more like a study area, even though there are books lined up on shelves around the walls. I go back to the elevator (I think I was in an elevator) and maybe check out one or two more floors.

Possibly this leads into the next dream scene, in which I’m looking at electronics. There are some things having to do with an R2D2 replica, that plays music or something. You can buy the replica itself, or various cartridge-like items that attach to it to play different songs. At first I pick one up for Mom, but later I don’t know if she would really like it. I look at the price, and it’s pretty expensive. It’s in my backpack, but I take it back and hang it up on the rack again. Then I see that Mom is there next to me, and she says something.

Fragment 1: Church (0.5 point)

Going to visit a church. It might be my cousin’s church, one that I have dreamed about before. Remembering my previous dreams, I think that this might be a good opportunity to practice reality checks.

Dream 2: Boats, Plots, and Farscape Characters (4 points)

I’m at the lake with someone else – possibly my brother, and possibly Rygel from Farscape. We are thinking about going out on a small rowboat, but the waves on the lake are pretty big. I have doubts that we will be able to fight against them, and it might be kind of dangerous. Nearby, there is a large boat – more like a small ship or tugboat. We get into this one, which would probably handle the waves OK, but it isn’t ours. It seems to me that I don’t like the idea of taking this boat without permission, and anyway the bridge seems to be somewhat large and complex and might be too much for two people to handle. There is a scene in which I’m trying to back the boat into the dock/garage thing it came from.

Something about an intrigue involving foreign countries. There is a plot going on, and I’m trying to identify which countries are involved. Again, it feels like Rygel is involved. We are working together. I somehow get the names of multiple countries, and am working on deciphering the last one. My guess is that it’s China, because it has something to do with dragons.

Later, I’m in a car with the character Crais from Farscape (+ 3 points – Crais is an alien…so is Rygel, but I wasn’t as sure of his identity in the dream). He is driving, but for some reason doesn’t have full control of the vehicle. I have to press on the brake, and then I find that I have to steer the car too. We are driving around a construction site. People are painting what seems to be the steel frame of a building. They are painting it white. We bump into the frame from time to time. There is some uncertainty about being paid for this job. They might not be paying me for drive time.
