Project temporarily on pause while I focus 100% on improving sleep quality.

PART 1 - BASEMENT SEARCH

I'm in the basement of Cornwall (location where I lived during childhood.) A girl is looking for something of mom's (for the second time?). She asks me... I make a guess somewhere in mom's room but say I don't know for sure.

Larger story context, but can't remember...

ANALYSIS

This kind of reminds me of a customer asking me where something was yesterday - I said it wasn't my usual section, and they were super understanding, which was unusual. Possible trigger.

PART 2 - HANGING OUT W/SARAN

Unknown location, hanging out with SarAn (someone I knew years ago) and one other unknown person.

I'm acting very chill and funny, we have this certain kind of good chemistry that brings out the best in me. It suddenly occurs to me to show them the "double rainbow guy" video... I have trouble finding it.

ANALYSIS

Not sure what would trigger SarAn now...

I did used to make them laugh. I do suspect we might still have good chemistry, so perhaps that is my unconscious' projection of them based on my expectations.

I watched the CollegeHumor parody of the double rainbow guy yesterday and found it quite hilarious, likely trigger.

PART 3 - DOG BITE

Same location as part 2. Dog (black) bites me, right on the side of my eye socket, apparently trying to rip it out. I apply pressure on my face in the opposite direction to stop it, and eventually get loose.

ANALYSIS

Perhaps related to the pain of my "ailment"...

I seem to be seeing my dreams mainly in terms of "triggers" as no symbolic meanings really jump out at me most of the time, but I wonder if this is simply because I've gotten into the habit of perceiving them that way, or if that is actually how they are. On the other hand, trying to force a symbolic meaning when it doesn't occur to me naturally simply feels artificial and without substance.

Remembering dreams for me seems to be about a sense of expanding, opening up to the vague bigger story at play, then letting the mind fill in the blanks... hard to describe, but it's a specific skill to be aware of and work on.

PART 1 - ANOTHER DREAMING DREAM FRAGMENT

Essentially the same as yesterday. Had a fragment upon waking, something to do with dreaming, but lost it.

ANALYSIS

Slightly concerned I may be developing "lazy" mental habits upon waking.

Will try using the voice recorder on my MP3 player tomorrow. If I find that at all effective, I will likely invest in a proper voice activated recorder.

Will also try using a customized online alarm clock (http://www.metaclock.com/) to wake, setting it to open up a YouTube clip of the sound of rain (http://youtube.com/watch?v=k0gsduLrfSU).

While falling asleep last night, there was a moment that I felt may have been the very beginnings of a WILD. It began kinesthetically, feeling myself move through a narrow path of tall grass. I think this may be the result of doing my meditation in bed, and deep relaxation becoming associated with that position.
