    Memorable Dreams

      PART 1 - DAY9

      Starcraft 2 Day9 commentary, something about Mutalisks... real life story behind it...

      ANALYSIS

      Triggered by a comment on the DV forums about Day9 that I made shortly before bed.

      PART 2 - ZEN FOR BROTHER

      My brother sees a commercial on TV for a Zen meditation program. It advertises increased productivity, he seems interested.

      ANALYSIS

      A manifestation of my feeling that my brother doesn't spend his time productively. I don't think it would catch his attention IRL.

      PART 3 - HARNESSES IN THE SKY

      With mom and brother... high in the sky, like "top of a mountain" height... in harnesses suspended by cables. Sin (internet personality) teaches how use them properly. Scary and unpleasant.

      ANALYSIS

      A metaphor for a sense of risk... possibly some sort of preparation leading into "taking the fearful way" below.

      PART 4 - THE IMPENETRABLE PYRAMID

      Playing Starcraft, losing to Zerg... there is a pyramid on the map, it's out of place, doesn't belong in the game... it's glowing a neon light purple, possibly pink. It's supposedly "impenetrable."

      I hit it (suddenly I'm physically "inside" the game), and a wall caves in. I enter, it's dark, like a tomb to explore.

      A giant skeleton statue lifts me off the ground ("telekinetically"), and pulls me flying up toward it.

      Next there is a small bedroom... there are old clothes. The previous occupants are long gone, years and years ago.

      To get to a narrow closet in the corner, I have to go around behind the bed - and giant sheets which take up half the room - which would be a difficult position to escape from if I had to... but I take the fearful way at each point.

      The closet has 2 doors, one leads to next room. There are more clothes left behind, hanging on the closet hook. I look through them, check each one out, the colors.

      Suspenders? Old country clothes, possibly farmer clothes...

      ANALYSIS

      Impenetrable pyramid - represents lucid dreaming, seems almost impossible, a glass wall, trapped in routine. The neon purple/pink represents excitement, emotional stimulation of going outside the norm.

      Telekinetic statue - key factor is the sense of flight, reminds me of old childhood dreams.

      Old bedroom, old country clothes - a return to my roots, re-experiencing familiar dream sensations from childhood. I remember dreams involving clothes coming to life from back then... this is the reason for the clothes, their oldness is an expression of how long ago I experienced these things.

      Fearful way at each point - beginnings of lucidity, semi-conscious decision making!

      PART 5 - JEE AND KEE

      Driving with Jee and Kee afterward, I tell them about the whole experience of breaking in and exploring super enthusiastically. I end with "yeah, it was quite a dream"... they don't respond, silent, then they start talking about something else.

      Later, walking with them through a jungle area, I see this big (4-5 feet tall) colorful (mainly red, with others mixed) bird with shaggy feathers trying to jump upside down and catch a branch with its feet from the ground.

      I say that I like the colors, Kee says the name of bird.

      ANALYSIS

      Ignored - probably just literal.

      Jungle and bird - an expression of my focus on color earlier.

      PART 6 - TEACHER EMAILS

      Class, teacher (50s, grey hair and beard, glasses, like "Durant") asks the class for their emails. He hands out sheets of paper for each student to write them on. I'm conscious that the girl sitting beside me might see mine.

      One more seat over, "bioking" (email) guy who is obsessed w/chemistry. Mine has "king" in it as well, possibly also something to do w/bio...

      ANALYSIS

      Was "bioking" another dreamer? Everyone in the class? Have I been enrolled in some sort of "dream school"?

      Taking my email - perhaps this part of my mind wanting to "keep in contact"...

      Debating, in the analysis portion of these entries, whether to leave ambiguity ("this is possibly an expression of that") or to be more firm ("this means that, period.") Tried more firmness this time, will continue to experiment.

      Also, with so much more remembered, it's necessary to write more in point form.

      I used the voice recorder for the first time last night, and WOW. HUGE impact. This thing is KEY. Very interested to see how its use will develop over time...
