dream fragment

Something about vision(s).

My younger son and I were going on a field trip to a synagogue. And I was preparing a bagged lunch for us.

My younger son in school was given the kind of rules that amounted to children should be seen not heard. Among others he was told that when everyone sings if he is under a certain age he is not supposed to sing. He was breaking or challenging these rules but in a respectful way. I was proud of him. His teacher did seem open to changing these rules recognizing his potential. Toward the end she was giving some sort of speech playing along with bringing attention to my son. This was in what looked like church. Actually the dream was a bit blurry on whether this was school or church, a bit like both.

Big Boys Don't Cry and Sad is Just Cold
I dreamed that my older son had learned that if one is feeling sad what one needs is physical warmth (because sad is actually just cold) and big boys don't cry. There was also something odd about taking off his shoes to get warmer. I corrected this misconception.

Kids Learn Life Lessons From the Homeless
My husband had gotten our two boys into a community service project which involved us dropping the boys off with a community of homeless people, and we would not stay, and there would be no one else just kids and homeless people, and the homeless people were teaching the kids about life. While I was a bit nervous about this, but at least I knew that a homeless woman we know and trust would be with them all the time.

In this fragment I recall some sort of card game about dreaming and there was magic involved. It does not help that I thought I had written this dream down, but apparently had not.

Just recall a fragment, but there were some kind of tools which were different in some way if my children were nearby. One time I was looking for my kids who were hiding, and I was almost ready to give up when someone reminded me I had these tools in the car, and they indicated that my kids were nearby, and it turned out they had been hiding in the car.

I think i was male, anyway definitely not my waking self. In this dream I knew the nature of my reality. To clarify: this was a non-lucid dream, but I believed I knew the nature of reality - that was part of the content of the dream - and in the dream I did not mean by that whether or not it was a dream. In this dream there was a powerful cast of high priests/priestesses, and all of us were connected to some sort of electric web. I at some point changed the current in this Web. The priests/priestesses immediately reacted that I must be stopped, but I was not worried (unstoppable?).

I have the strong sense that there was more to it, but that's all I recall.

4:00 fragment: dream of dream recall, and the revelation of a formula explaining what causes it to improve or wane. Time to understand, to wrap it up.there was also a chart. A man was presenting.

6:30 fragment: something about joining religious group?

I had a dream. And as I lay still upon awakening, I stabilized its recall. I remember it was short but significant I felt: a brief insight into consciousness or awareness. Then my head moved slightly, and the insight was gone right away.

fragment 1: Witness against software working

Fragment 2: Upside down trashcan - problem trash would all fall out on floor.

Fragment 3: Purpose of studies in higher education to exclude students who are not good enough to know. Frogs make ribbet sound, but that could not be what differentiates frogs at university because it is too easy.

10:30-6:00

Fragment 1: Dreamed of how to pick off rice that has spilled in bathtub, and how picking it one grain at a time may be the recommended method.

Fragment 2: Asked my mom to being lots of winter clothing next time she comes to visit. She was reluctant. I offered to ship it back to her if only she brings it. (She is coming in the summer next. And why would I care which of her clothes she brings?

Fragment 3: there was a new favorite vacation spot we discovered. Also in this dream there was something about the staff who clean the hotel room doing something unusual - don't remember what. Also there was a vacation where my husband had to go alone with our kids, and I had to work.

I had an almost lucid dream feeling in this dream. I had the sense that I had been counting something in my dream perhaps in my dream journal, when I opened my eyes wider and entered a new scene flying over an ocean with the thought that one can do this counting better this way. This may have been a non lucid dream about being lucid? I think the vividness shifted during the change of scene to much more vivid, and it was almost like being lucid.

fragment 1: my 4 year old had a huge overgrown beard of dark hair (in reality his hair is light), and I decided to cut and shave off his beard to look what his face looks like underneath, but I was not going to cut his hair in the back of his head on my own because I feared botching the job, for that I planned to take him to a barber another day. I think this dream ended before the beard was off, so I did not get to see his face.

fragment 2: a library book came with options on the dust jacket, and one of the options was to "keep this book", but then there was a hyperlink (on the paperback book) and when you clicked it, it said, "just kidding, that would be stealing, and against God's commandment, and a smiley."

Fragment 3: also library related but separate dream. I was standing in line at library to find out something, but someone else was saying that the library could not do something because that would be illegal. I don't remember what that something was.

Fragment: blood transfusion needed to make up for loss due to ???

Fragment 2: on hotel soaps

Fragment 3: sexual supernatural

12:30 fragment 1: I dreamed about how if one cannot remember a whole dream, one can sort the dream fragments by length. .

5:00 fragment 2: I caught up with my older son at a busstop to give him one of his homeworks which he had forgotten to take. (In reality he does not even take the bus to school.) He was with another boy. He said it was good that I had arrived because someone was about to kiss (it was not explained who), and it would be awkward.

5:15 failed WBTB attempt: about 15 minutes up, recorded fragment, went to bathroom, mantra repeat, tried to WILD, result: no recall at 6:45

to bed at midnight due to coffee late in afternoon

6am A blue color worker was telling his family that he got job in better paying job further away as representative worker who could answer company questions about workers. They were so impressed that he was willing to relocate and had the drive to advance to a white collar job.

All I remember is a fragment about dreams and scale from 1 to 10 and there may or may not have an elephant in this fragment as well.
