Your number of dream entries grows so fast, you certainly have better habits than many people here...Especially myself xD

Remember any title of those books you were trying to sell? Maybe you'll find there your next reading object

I try hard to dream journal. Unfortunately I do have days when I don't recall squat, but I try to write a DJ entry even then to have a record of that. The night before last was just superb with three dreams and three fragments, and even today was not shabby, two dreams and one fragment. I just hope my recall stays high for the Checker competition, and that I do not then get a dry spell.

Alas, I do not recall any title. I recall the books were heavy, but that's it.

Oh, and one difference that might bring up my DJ entry count more than others: I noticed that most people like to put all entries for one night together, whereas I prefer separate entries for separate dreams most of the time. It's a style difference. I like to usually see the dreams as separate entities and not clumped together. But then if I recall three dreams in one night that results in 3 entries, and so my DJ count goes up more, but that does not mean I write more than others who put 6 dreams in one entry. I envy those of you who can recall enough details about a dream to write long text about it, even my whole dreams recalled tend to be fairly short without a lot of details like book titles. Got to continue working on that dream recall!

I prefer them short, and probably often the excess details are not needed, making it concise, and to the point. That can also reflect one's thinking.
What do you mean you don't have a King?

Maybe you wanted strong stuff to give this ruling side of you that visited your thoughts, to fortify it and maybe make it feel better or higher.
Sounds like the 3 gifts for Jesus, maybe paralleling the newborn King in you which is spiritual.

OPTION ONE:
But then your focus shifted, and you were maybe looking for what knowledge or info or ideas you need to sell or get rid of to gain this King, and to move ahead with the idea. Selling them at a garage can mean you were parked or not moving, and you can drive off from a garage.
You carried many, and was a heavy burdon.
But once you could trade them for value, you looked through them again and were not willing to rid yourself of this burdon. Unless you saw now they were indeed valuable but the dream didn't say that.
You carry this heavy burdon home back to yourself.

OPTION TWO
Maybe the books were your knowledge of how to be King, that you had to exchange for their higher value of moving ahead with the idea.
So this goal was becoming a heavy burdon.
Once you got there, you looked through their content once more, and decided you were mostly not willing to move forward with it at that heavy time?
So the heavy burdon of knowing remains, not fulfilling the dream.

Superman, you would cause me to face palm myself on my forehead, if I did not remember that my forehead is still sore from my fall in the bathroom last week and thus face palming literally is not a good idea.

I had already before in earlier dreams established that the number three is significant to me mostly because I am a Christian. And yes, Jesus is called King.

The liquor as being strengthening does not sound right though. I am almost entirely a tea totaler. I almost never drink alcohol in real life except a glass of wine, maybe once every few months. So for me alcohol does not have the strengthening connotation, more of the addiction danger connotation. As you know, I have been dreaming of bars a lot lately though.

I think part of the trouble is that while I avoid alcohol, but I do have many other addictions in my life. And books are one of them. Not all books I read are wholesome, and actually only recently I switched to nonfiction books - not that fiction is all bad, but some of my taste in books really were not good books, not even well written, and just used as a form of escapism.

Another possible reason for the booze in this dream is due to the religious subtheme: instead of 3 types of liquor, 3 spirits, meaning the trinity (Holy Spirit, ...).

Your option 2: the books being about how to become the King, ... Well, one of the books I am now reading is Discover the Power Within You by Eric Butterworth. And the idea in this book is that we all have the divine within us and need to discover it. So yes.

However, I think the books being a burden is more likely about the books that I have read for escapism, and how I am not willing to part with that addiction, or other escapism like addictions which do not bring my spirit closer to God (the King).

Thanks again, superman, for helping me sort some of this out!
