    WAKING LIFE DREAMING LUCID
    BOLD IF IT FEELS PARTICULARLY SIGNIFICANT

    *This is a very rough draft*


    Waves and Child

    in the ocean, swimming around for a while
    a ways out from shore
    looking below, at the sea floor
    Then after a time, I head back toward shore

    Jen’s (high school friend) old car in the ocean closer to shore
    I got in
    a large wave hit it
    Jen came
    she was upset

    I went back to shore, the waves getting higher
    a child there too
    with me
    standing in the water together
    i feel protective
    of the child

    the child says they     (boy or girl?) see an octopus wrapping around my foot?
    I get scared though I love octopi
    think I see it a ways off under the water
    I walk fearfully out of the water
    the waves getting larger
    I'm wondering how large they’ll get
    (Often in my dreams the tidal waves grow to become inescapably vast)

    the child and I go to higher ground
    watch the waves
    getting higher
    splashing past where we’d been

    going to even higher ground
    my dad is there with us
    a beautiful, panoramic view of the ocean from where we are
    we are atop maybe a 300 foot cliff
    houses below closer to the beach
    water rushing past them in a thin sheet, curving and splashing up the cliff far below us in a big sheet that splashes at its far reaches
    my dad is concerned about the waves, scared and determined to do things he knows he has to do about the waves, to help other people
    I think he leaves us

      Interesting and beautiful. Wish I had more ocean and beach dreams. I have dreamt once of a HUGE wave that though I was flying freely it was right up there with me. Very intense and amazing when that happens. I would love to dream of swimming in the ocean and walking with feet in the water on the shoreline, with nice people and to see some sea creatures, like the beginning of this!

      Thanks for pointing out that it was beautiful. It was, now that I think of it in that light more (I tend to have nightmares about being at the mercy of tidal waves so dreams involving waves can get overshadowed). The beginning was a calm exploration, with a still sea...yeah, very nice indeed. The dream you had of flying with the wave sounds like one of those wonderfully exhilarating dreams. Love those!

      Had this dream about a year ago I think: There was this mountain island out in the middle of the ocean. Only in the middle of it, was a lake inside the mountain. The water pretty much came to the edges of the mountain. Houses and roads were built into the side of the mountain, and on the flat beach part was a metropolitan city with very tall buildings. But the mountain was huge, at least Himalayas size, and it had all that water inside it like a bowl, and somehow the water stayed miles and miles above sea level.

      Towards the end this big truck with a big trailer went off the road high up the mountain, and when it did it just opened a hole in the side. As it dragged down the road got jerked too and the hole got bigger as the supports ripped out of the mountainside. So the water started to come through, and this made a domino effect. I started flying away as the whole city was being destroyed and all that water came pouring out. The wave was at least a mile high and it was quite unsettling and surreal. Was in and out of lucidity on this one.

      Look forward to hearing more of your dreams, And I'll try to keep mine updated too.

      Fascinating! What vivid and powerful imagery. That grand mountain, holding in an even grander vastness of water. Then the simple breaking and almost unimaginably powerful wave. I look forward to reading more.
