Floatinghead's dream adventures

20-10-13 shared dream attempt

The aim was to strengthen our connection. So far we have had pretty good syncs (excellent really) but some things have been playing out differently. So before trying out different ideas within the dreaming I wanted to strengthen our connection first by planning and incubating another dream.

My daughter REALLY likes playing minecraft, which made me think of bringing some aspects of minecraft into the dream. For example, she has created a giant tree house within minecraft, so we decided to use that creation in minecraft as a basis to build around our dream tree. I feel building on our shared dreaming SPACE will help solidify the shared dreaming space so that we keep returning there for future excursions (hopefully automatically).

Thinking about minecraft made me consider how, if we compare our personal dreaming to the hundreds of computer games out there, and similar to how each computer game is not compatible with another computer game - perhaps that is how the dreaming is configured? What I am saying is that perhaps we need to be playing the same GAME (metaphorically speaking) as one another before being able to connect? So by agreeing on the rules of how a dream plays out will help us connect easier to one another I think these are all things we need to consider when beginning a shared dream experience

So, in my dream I find myself lucid, but seemingly having a little more time on my hands before I connect with my daughter (for some reason I felt it was a little too early) SO I flew around for a bit until I came accross some big guy dressed in medievil gear. He would not leave me alone so I pulled his legs off. And then he STILL came at me so I then pulled his arms off!

Flying around a little more I wanted to try and 'fast travel' I focused on something in the background (I think it was somekind of a red tanker) and tried to 'pull' it toward me by applying focus to it - this had an amazing effect and I felt myself fly faster than I have ever before. YES, I learnt a new trick!! Next I found the moon in the sky and thought I would try and contact Nomad and Raven, I did the same trick and 'pulled' the moon toward me, I went whizzing through the sky but just before I was about to land the scene went blank. ** time missing?**

After that I found it difficult to get back to sleep, going in and out, ....reading my daughter's dream journal and trying to enter HER dream that way... seeing a minecraft style map of our tree in progress... and then it was over, I felt something had passed but I do not remember it.

My Daughter's Dream:


I met daddy at the tree, I was so excited to get started on building the treehouse that I just said 'let's get going!' first of all we were stuck on how we were going to create the block shapes that existed in minecraft but then I had the idea of bundling some sticks into a block and then using THEM as the building blocks. We built the first floor and second floor, but it was about halfway through and I felt ill so I had to wake up.


There is no doubt in my mind that this happened, and I am REALLY excited to continue working on the treehouse with her next week (so am kinda glad that we did not finish it this time around and will make sure I remember next week!)
