Dream 1:

There was apparently a movie that once scared me a lot. It was so frightening that I stopped watching it. There was one scene especially, in which a woman goes down a set of stairs. When she gets to the bottom, there is some greenish light and something horrible apparently happened. There is also a scene in which a little dog is put into a box, and slid into an opening in a wall. Also, people that live in a suburban house, and something happens here. Some episodes of a TV show that had a strange and unpleasant noise all through them. I can hear the noise now.

I am now watching this movie, facing my fear of it. The woman goes down the stairs to where the horrible thing is supposed to happen, but now that I watch it, it doesn’t seem to be that scary. In fact, I think I might have misinterpreted what was going on, and it wasn’t scary at all. A door at the bottom of the stairs opens up, and there is a big face. I had expected it to look scary somehow, but it looks kind of normal. The woman goes through the door.

Some things about cloth, I think.

At some point, I’m walking along and see an open elevator door. The elevator car inside is surprisingly large, and there is a sink, and possibly a table, inside. It sort of looks like a cross between a kitchen and a bathroom inside. It reminds me of a dream, and I try counting my fingers. Sure enough, I have more than 5 fingers on my hand and I become lucid. I see a couple of kids next to a water fountain, and try to think of what to do for the competition. I think about drinking from the water fountain, but I already did that in my 3-step task. I remember that the third step was to teleport, which I don’t really know how to do.

“Hey kids,” I say to the kids at the water fountain, “how do I teleport?”

They don’t give me much of an answer, so I try on my own. I try imagining a new scene behind me and turning around, but it doesn’t seem to work. I try to “walk into” the new scene, the way I “flew into” Synthos a while back. I keep repeating “up a grassy green hill” to myself while walking, or something like that. I’m still in this building, but as I look to my left I see another room/corridor where the floor tiles are green. I go this way, repeating the scene to myself, and I might actually find that there is a slight upward slope. But that’s about as far as the scene change gets. As I keep walking, I find myself going into more of these hallway/room type sections, and it’s getting darker. Eventually I find myself in a room that has either a person or a mannequin in it.

I think I might lose lucidity around here somewhere. There is something about bringing the person/mannequin closer to me, and then I leave the room. I find myself in the front/side yard of the house from earlier. Now it’s more like a “liminal place” – the yard looks as though it’s artificial, and there is a large hole in the ground shaped like an inverted cone and made of a yellowish color.

Something about Disney World, I think. And Jurassic Park (I think that they might be headed toward a Jurassic Park scenario – at least I joke about it).

Something about someone on a train. They are possibly being chased, and escape by dropping down and hanging on some pipes below. He later is walking or running beside the tracks, and someone might be with him. Someone is lying on the ground later, possibly hurt or shot.

This was one of those dreams that seems like it had a sort of emotional or personal aspect for me. Something about the terrifying movie that I was going back and watching. Maybe facing a fear from long ago?

Dream 1:

There are two toilets set up facing each other. They both seem to be broken. In the one, there is a light down in the bowl that goes out. The other one might also be a washing machine. Anyway, when you try to flush the one, the other one spurts out a bunch of stuff into it, but neither of them really flush very well. Someone advises not to look at it. There is a small dog around. I think it might be one of the dogs we had when I was growing up. She hears me and gets excited. She is also trapped under a tarp. She might be able to speak English, and asks me for help. Also something about piles of odds and ends that I’m trying to wrap up into roofing shingles to tidy up.

Then there is something about people that look like they’re homeless. One of them is a woman. I’m pacing up and down the edge of a parking lot, and she asks me where I’m going. So I show her. “I’m going from here...” I say, pointing to a spot on the ground and then walking a couple of paces away, “...to here.” The police show up and take away a homeless man. I try to give him reassurance as they do so.

Then there is something about escaping what seems to be a space ship or a space station. It starts out with watching the beginning of a Star Wars movie. This movie starts around the present time, and shows people leaving Earth on space ships. There is a large swarm of them headed somewhere, but as they go they blow up until only one of them is left. This one barely makes it by landing on a nearby planet – a “sucker”, they call it, because gravity pulled them in.

The scene switches to the inside of the space craft. There are a couple of guys in there who apparently stowed away. There is something wrong with the ship, and people are walking around spraying a white fog. The fog itself is difficult to breathe, but the air might be deadly. The stowaways now try to escape. They go down some steps. At some point I become one of them. We get to a sort of catwalk above a lower floor. I find a way to climb down some of the supports. Then I realize that this probably made me conspicuous, so I pretend that I’m just a normal guy who won a bet that I could climb down this way. I pretend to celebrate and say something like “all right! Where’s my five bucks?”

This floor is like the lobby of a hotel. I start walking out the door. Then there is something about people being put in jail. I almost seem to be a cat now, and there is this plan to turn around and try to lead someone to the jail cells to rescue them. I/the cat is able to move one of the guard’s keys in such a way as to unlock the cell. But it’s the wrong cell. Inside this one is a huge vicious-looking animal. We close the door again and try another. But this is the wrong one too. We go to another cell, which has a label on it saying it contains, among other things, a donkey. We open the door to this one, and it is a scene from the old Droopy cartoon. The next cell has two of the three stooges and a couple of monkeys. We start talking with them, and the “cell” turns into a sort of stand-alone device almost like a gumball machine.

I need to go somewhere. Someone tries to give me directions, but they are a little complicated so I try to write them down. I have a bit of trouble trying to figure out what they are telling me. Something about going down one road, and taking another road. I study a map. Then I find myself walking, trying to find my way to where I am going. I don’t even think I know where I’m going in the dream.

Fragment 1

Something about pastries.


Fragment 2

Professor Plum, and the characters from Clue. There is either a play or a film version, but it doesn’t seem like the characters are acting like they should. Professor Plum isn’t absent-minded (as he was in the books, if anyone has ever read those).
