    1. Their children are better than yours

      by , 04-14-2013 at 12:04 PM
      In this dream some parent I did not know was bragging about their children that they napped better, stood taller, progressed better than other people's children, and that it was due to special nutrition.
    2. Work: Production or Test Record "Killer Potatoes"

      by , 04-14-2013 at 12:01 PM
      This dream was rather lengthy and vivid, however, due to the way I was woken up, I could not work more on retaining the memory.

      This dream was supposedly about work, but I did not recognize the other people. Throughout the dream I was trying to establish whether a record in the database was a real production record or a fake test record. I went from one set of people to another person. Finally I found a guy who said that it was fake test, and he was sure of it despite only barely looking at it. I said "How do you know?" He: "Because this record is about 'killer potatoes' and there is no such thing." I looked at the data, and yes it was about killer potatoes. I felt so bad for not having noticed that before.

      I tried to then establish who had entered this fake record into the production system, but I could not narrow it down to an individual only to a department.
    3. Overeating at buffet in front of my dad, wrong utensils, penguin

      by , 04-13-2013 at 11:32 AM
      I was overeating at an all you can eat buffet. My dad was there, and I knew somehow that he was reprimanding me about eating with serving utensils, but what he actually said was something about penguins (?)

      What I think this dream is about is that at times I am so hard on myself that I interpret comments of others (such as my dad in this dream) as being critical of me because I am critical of me whereas in reality I may be reading something into their comments that was not there after all. He commented about penguins, and I interpretted it as a criticism of my table manners. I got to watch out for that.

    4. Dream about collaboration at work

      by , 04-13-2013 at 08:08 AM
      First of all this was a dream about my current work, and it was about collaboration with an external organization which we really are collaborating with. This was a REM dream with fairly vivid visuals and fairly lengthy. It mentioned reasons why we would continue to collaborate unless some other reasons occurred. I do don't right now remember these reasons. I did not notice anything in this dream which was not fairly realistic like in real life, except that I do not remember a strong awareness or strong presence and consciousness of myself - more like a movie.

    5. Pi, triangle, calculations

      by , 04-12-2013 at 11:19 AM
      The number pi, triangle, calculations - that's all I remember from this dream. I think it's a variation on 3 is complete perhaps (another dream).

    6. Image of person with black bird of prey head

      by , 04-11-2013 at 11:38 AM
      This is not so much a dream as a HH image. I woke up around 5, and tried to do WILD unsuccessfully. I remember one vivid image though: a person with a black bird of prey head, kind of like an Egyptian God.

      In other news I was reliving an unsuccessful job interview in my head, thinking of questions I should have asked but did not. This was not really while asleep though, but right upon waning up.

    7. Use case of death

      by , 04-10-2013 at 11:32 AM
      I remember building a use case diagram in UML notation, and it included:

      Death with extensions for Died of Natural Causes, Murder, and Suicide.
    8. Key to New Job

      by , 04-09-2013 at 11:19 AM
      I forgot most of this dream already, but I remember getting a key that would allow me to telecommute in a new job.

      I will choose to interpret this as my subconscious giving me the key to success in the job search: you can do it!
    9. Unreasonable expectation and lack of confidence

      by , 04-07-2013 at 01:32 PM
      Two work related fragments, one about my actual current job and one in a different job setting, both about database work:

      In my actual current job I dreamed that I had taken over a task and the person requesting it changed to unreasonable expectation: wanted it done by a precise time every week, and this task required me to request DBA to run a script which I do not have access permission to run, and thus to mining was not in my control, and yet the expectation seemed to be that I would be responsible. Out of some reason in my dream this script had to be run manually and could not be automated to ensure precise timing. In my current job precise timing does not matter like that in waking life. The request seemed petty.

      Another fragment this one from a job which I neither have nor have had yet, also required running a script with data administrator permissions, but in this dream I actually had the database permissions to run it. My boss assigned the task to me, and person requesting it wanted someone else to run it as routine and me just as backup. Why? Because this other person had routinely run such scripts before, whereas I had not. I argued that what's so hard about running a preprepared script: you open it up, and press Execute. Person requesting it: yes, but have you run such a script before? Me: No, because I have not had these permissions before, but I have run many other scripts, and it works the same way. Also even before I had the permissions I had full understanding of what such a script does just no permission to run it. I did not persuade the other person.

      Side note: I just had two job interviews which did not result in job offers, and thus I continue my job search. Self confidence is essential to a successful job search, and I struggle with it at times.

      Interpretation: Even though in both dreams the requestor is an external person, I think that in actuality what those dreams are about is myself having unreasonable expectations of myself and blaming myself and not having enough confidence in myself - being too hard on myself and not self-assured enough.

      Interestingly enough every job search I ever had went like that, and I am not successful until I accept myself, and thus present myself in a way that others can accept as well. The question is just how quickly will that happen this time.

      Some man saying something about the need to discontinue something, maybe discontinue dream or discontinue game.

    11. Dream affirming current job

      by , 04-03-2013 at 11:59 AM
      I am in mid job search, and yet I dreamed a dream affirming my current job that the work we do matters, that the data we pull is valuable to those requesting it.

      The thing is that I cannot shake the memory that I wrote another dream journal entry last night, but there is not other. Did I DJ in a dream? it's possible.

    12. I beg your pardon, madam, is it in London already?

      by , 04-02-2013 at 09:06 AM
      There I was on a rooftop (a flat rooftop terrace together with a bunch of other people searching through the chimneys for God knows what, when one of the DCs (a servant girl) asked me,

      "I beg your pardon, madam, but is it in London already?"
      Me: "What?"
      Her: "The plague? We are under lockdown here, madam, because of it."

      I think she meant quarantine - which in hindsight is of course nonsense given the fact that I had just come from London and here I was, but my dreaming self actually did not noice that. I started denying it:

      Me: "No, it is not. You got the plague here?!" When suddenly I remembered otherwise "Actually, yes, yes, it is." Moreover, I in that moment realized that I most likely had it.

      However, out of some reason I was not too upset about that in the dream, and in fact part of me thought this could be an advantage somehow. How? Would it help in our search for bird nests? For Santa? For thiefs? Or whatever it was that we were looking for in those chimneys?!

      Thos was a very vivid scene, complete with British accents and all.
    13. I did it! What?! Don't remember

      by , 04-01-2013 at 10:52 AM
      Got to work on my dream recall.

      I woke up in the middle of the night with the thought feeling: I did it! I was lucid!

      But no matter how hard I tried I cannot remember any of it, which makes me think that I probably was not lucid because lucid dreams do not fade like that. Although how do I know that for sure? Perhaps there are tons of lucid dreams I have had, but do not remember?

      What I suspect is that this was another non-lucid dream about dreaming. Perhaps I actually remember my dream quite well, perhaps I dreamed "I did it! I was lucid!" And that was the content of my dream?

      Anyway for a split second there I was very happy.
    14. Limiting Dreams

      by , 03-31-2013 at 12:51 PM
      This dream was on dreaming again. It took place in some sort of board room filled with official people. I was not there, just observing like a movie, not an actor. The officials could have been judges or moderators, or they could have been consciences of DV members, or different representations of the one God.:

      The discussion seemed to be a decision making debate, where the consequences of the decision would matter / make an actual difference / change. The discussion's topic was whether dreams should be limited or unlimited. It appeared that a recent development meant that a prior decision needed to be re-examined, whether it needed to be changed.
    15. If we eliminate dreaming (fragment)

      Speaker was male, no clue who:
      ...
      "But if we eliminate dreaming, what effective approach would we use instead?"
