Dream
It was daytime outside, the place was grassy with trees in the background. I was with a group of people and we were being subdued by 3 guys with rapiers and fancy olden day noble clothing with frills and stuff. I had pretended to be unconscious beneath this metal tower thing, one of the rapiers had been knocked from their hands and I sneakily picked it up. I climbed to the top of the tower and then flipped down to attack them, catching them by surprise. The first one I defeated quickly by clashing blades, his sword was sliced to pieces and I knocked him out. The next guy I beat with a skillful flourish that disarmed him. The last guy I had more trouble with, he was supposed to be the weakest but there was some random dream resistance going on. I sliced the length of his blade in half, then we kept clashing and I couldn't get a leg up, it felt like I was going to lose for some reason but I woke up.

I'm running from some kind of mercenaries, trying to go to university at the same time. I weave my way accross buildings, taking hidden doors and corridors, the mercenaries voices hot on my trail, casual and laughting. I manage to board on a train, half train alf boat, standing up at the prow. There's a woman and her little girl behind me, the girl with pigtails and big blue eyes. She crouches down and pick up a piece or paper stuck to my shoes and excitatly tells her mother that I'm a member of the crew. I feel embarassed and tell her that it's not true, that I picked up the paper somewhere. I let her keep it and she's thrilled. Her mother thanks me and hands me some chocolates. As the train stops, her husband come to picks them up and I leave, still going to university. I meet up with somes of my comrades in a yard, half lawn half cement, and we start a waterballons fight. The sun is hot and the air dry, the water ballons very cold. Another friend calls us from a flat above, waving. We enter the building and go to her place. It's small but very sunny, and now crowned. We manage to all sit in front of her TV for a movie, on two sofa. I'm sitting at one of the end of one of the sofa, with the boyfriend of my cousin and my cousin sitting with me. The boyfriend has very wandering hands and keeps trying to kiss my neck, making me very inconfortable, but my cousin doesn't let me get up. Our phones are stucks together and it's somehow keeping me from leaving. I manage to separate them and get up to sit on the other sofa, next to a tall, brown-haired man. He wraps a arm around my waist and pulls me slightly against him, allowing me to sit confortably. I feel safe with him and snuggle closer.

I couldn't get myself to focus after waking up this morning and I think I ended up forgetting more than I remembered..

I'm looking through some of my Mom's old stuff from her teenage years in the small closet in the back room of the house. There are many CD's and even some vinyl records. There's a CD of something very exciting and old that I can't remember. There's an original record of classic late-20's swing by Buster Keaton (who was an actor irl, not a musician) whom I loved. I also love swing, so I was super excited to find this. I think there was one other interesting thing I found in there, but I can't remember.

Later, I'm trying to get ready to leave at the house - packing, brushing my teeth, etc. It's important that I do - iirc, my family and I are evacuating to somewhere safer, although I don't remember what we're running from. My brother was following me around the house, "messing around" in his terms but being very threatening and stress-inducing in mine. He kept physically making it very hard or impossible for me to get ready. When I finally made it out and regrouped with my parents, I told my mom what had happened. My brother tried to defend himself, saying I was too sensitive/overreacting and that he was just messing around. I told him seriously and truthfully that I was going to take self-defense lessons because of him. He got the point and was quiet and subdued for the rest of the dream that included him. There was something about finding a buried tank and that's apparently where we were going to hide from whatever was happening that was so dangerous. However, there was pretty much just enough room for all of us to squeeze down in there and wait for rescue. It looked unbelievably cramped and just thinking about going in there for who-knows-how-long stressed me out.

In a different dream(?) I'm walking sideways along a slope in deep snow, looking for someone. I reach a dead-end, and double back, where I meet my friend C and someone else whom I can't remember (I'm not sure I knew them in real life) (it might have been C's friend M, though). I think I see a place where the person I'm looking for might hide, in a thick tree, but M demonstrates that they already looked there, and that while it looked like a good hiding place, she showed that it was actually a bad one, and she was easily spotted. I wanted to go and look the way they had just been, but C told me no one was down there. I thought that the person we were looking for had to be on this "map", and it wasn't my way, so I was going to check her way anyway. I walked in that direction until the snow suddenly ended at the left side of my old elementary school. It was pleasantly warm there, like it was suddenly summer in that area. There on the pavement was the person we were looking for, along with some other people I can't remember. I found it curious that my friends didn't walk to the end of their side of the map before concluding that he wasn't on that side, as obviously if they'd just walked a little farther, they would have found him. At some point I was following footprints in the snow, but I can't remember when, or if it led me there.

In a different dream(?) I'm in a meeting of middle-aged to older men, and I'm Matt Murdock from Netflix's Daredevil. The meeting is just in an old room of somebody's house, with a long table with chairs squeezed in. The room has paneled wood walls and looks like it's out of the 70's. The meeting is over or I have to leave early - I can't remember which. I walk over to one end of the room to put on my shoes to leave. Beside me is a man in a suit sitting in an adult-sized Wild Thing, a purple spinning electric chair thing my brother and I had as kids. In the dream I could still see. Everyone in the room disliked me and thought I was a laughing stock. They (in mock friendly voices) told me I'd tied my shoes wrong and directed me how to fix them, in a way that tied the laces together. I pretended I was unaware, thanked them, and then said I'd go out to the driveway now and wait for someone to drive me home. I walked carefully so that my shoes didn't trip me up, all the while pretending that nothing was out of the ordinary. I got a little satisfaction out of thwarting their sabotage. On the driveway, the blonde woman from Daredevil (I don't remember her name) came and said she would drive me home. For a moment I felt bad making people drive me places when I could actually drive myself, but then I remembered that although I could see, I was still blind.

D1 - Large dark tarot cards are laying side by side,vertically. They transform into animated scenes, CGI . Then they become youtube channels.
There are some very unseemly guys on a youtube channel, doing very unseemly things, totally fake.

D2 - A dark boat boat is in very dark waters, the wood old and chared. In the boat is the body of a dead man, dressed in victorian clothes. The mans widdow, dressed in a dark grey cloak, is standing on a narrow wooden jetty, looking down over the man. She holds a large grail in her hand filled with dark cold water.
She is protective of her dead husband, and says I am unworthy even though I am alive and he is dead. She is a woman of ill repute.

D3 - I am making a large amount of outfits from stencils , pining them on manikins and laying out large rolls of red and white fabric, with writing on it.
I am working out how much I can make and how much it will cost. I do not want to give these away as it will cost many thousands but feel it is my duty, begrudgingly I continue.

D4 - My daughter is a toddler and it is her birthday in the dream. I am putting together some kind of animation from a game she likes, it becomes I am not sure what. I feel she will be disappointed but try to get things read. I display it on a large projector screen, infront of a table filled with party food.
there is some time before her guest's arrive. I go out. I am on a track riding a small bike. I have no idea when the party will begin and after passing a small boy on a green tracktor that blocked my path, I turn back.
I am physically unable to go back, no matter how I grag the bike. I then find I am also lost and desperation and dread fill me.
Trying to get back I walk dragging the bike, past a sea front amusement, it is empty apart from some teenagers standing together on the rain strewn concrete floor. I try to sneak past them feeling very ashamed. They see me and jeer at me. I struggle on.

I had a dream w/ my husband in it yesterday & my memory just went blank after a few minutes after I woke up, which was unfortunate since my husband was in it. I had taken a nap due to lack of sleep still hoping for a LD but when I woke up I was running really late to go check on my mother in law. Family first. I was glad to find she was having a better day & her Alzheimer's/ Dementia wasn't so bad during our visit. That made me feel good to have her there in the here & present for a while.....

Today I had a non-lucid dream about trying to get my job back at a Long John Silvers (LJS). I had this job in real life another lifetime ago after I left my first husband & my boss was pretty descent to me cuz I was a single mom. Anyway he said sure & I started working right then in my dream but soon the scene changed & it was another LJS. Again the scene changed all together into another dream. This one was very abstract. It started out w/ me looking for someone in some strange trailer park & I came across a man I'd never met but he was very handsome. He took me into some big factory w/ all of these big cogs & strange ppl. We were all going to watch a movie or something there. It was like among these cogs there were cars & ppl were pairing off to watch some movie. Then for some odd reason my first POS husband was there & wanted to sit by me & the handsome man came over & rescued me from that crazy scenario. Then I woke up.

I'm in a room, near an open window that's quite near to the floor and about a square meter big. An animal is tied on a leash at one of the legs of a sofa. The animal has the same "blond" colour as our two Labradors, but it's not like them, it's more like a giant blond fox. Then a big black bear sticks its head into the room through the open window. I see its head in a lot of detail. Its snout is quite long. The eyes have an opaque appearance like those of our old dog, who doesn't see very well any more. The "blond fox" pulls the leash to try to approach the bear. I push the head of the bear back out of the window a bit, because I'm afraid they might get aggressive when they get too close to one another. I say to the bear: "I'm sure you'd like a piece of cheese, don't you?" and I turn around to cut a piece on the table/counter nearby.

I had a look at photo's of black bears on the internet and I'm quite amazed at the accuracy of what I saw in my dream. Apparently I know quite well what they look like

Preface:
I went to bed around 11ish or so. I am more mentally tired today than physically tired.
I go so sleep thinking about dream yoga.

Side Note: I could not get Loretta Lynn out of my head yesterday. I don't like country music but Coal Miner's Daughter got stuck in my head without me physically hearing it.

DR 1
In a gym...I'm doing gymnastics on a balance beam. I'm watching myself do back-flips on the beam and I'm actually pretty good. Watching myself, but I am feeling all of the movement. My movements are controlled, but it still doesn't wake me up.

DR 2
I go to visit my mom. She is happy, living in a little house or apartment, I can't tell. She is going to show me something in her bedroom, so I follow her into a nice sized room. There is a king sized bed in the room, and there is natural light coming from a window at the back. There is this little white dog (looks like a terrier) jumping around following her around. The dog is excited to see both of us, and I am thinking, "oh he is so cute! Where did she get him?"

DR 3
I have to pick up a package, so I go to a building across town. It has a walkway..I have to walk a ways to get there. Whatever I came to pick up isn't there. Two guys (tall, lanky, grimy looking guys) are sitting at a table. One of them has dark blonde greasy hair and darker facial hair. They look like they are in jail, but the place isn't a jail. He says he has a letter for me. He holds it up. I wake up before I can grab it.

I was in a random house with my family and the hot tv star Alena Gilbert from vampire diaries. It was all going all good until we received freaky phone call a from the other side ( spirit world) this started to freak us out, there was a brown round table, it had all sorts of object on and the floor seemed to be white with a pattien on. We was having a laugh and ignored the phone calls but they got serious, they got life threatening, whatever is was, It was present with us and gave us a nasty feeling. I feel like it was a attached to man who owned the house. He was quite popular on Twitter. Talking about the hot tv star again we where then on the side of a swimming pool side and Elena jumps into the pool, It felt like she was tryin to drown herself, but little did we know it wasnt Elena. This escalated quite badly, cadles where blown out and whichever which way I wanted to run she would dissapeare and reappear infront of me. We ended up back on the house talking about it then a close carer for me shows up in the dream he knows how to get rid of negative spirits and what not, so the phone rang again, and it was the spirit so he answered and it said doesnt anyone wanna speak to me? So he asks who wants to? Being the idiot I said me, he refused and told me to ignore it, for everyone to ignore it.

I start off at some kind of warehouse and there are some people there one of them, I think is the predator with his mouth open and flared out and the others were unknown. I have lost some details upon wakening but I recall us doing adventures together and they were my partners. The place was huge and had a vaulted ceiling and windows near the top. Looks to be night time out.

Dino Megazord is there! and he is very detailed mostly on his face, showing that he was the correct multi colored version with the white out lining around his eyes, his metal plated mouth and his horn-like red ears. Not the usual black and gold color. Anyways He ends up seeing me and I'm somehow on the ride. He is watching me from below and when I get off he comes chasing after me and I see how angular his body was which was good. He was fast and I managed to run off into some kind of washroom and it came in there with me, looking at me with he yellow eyes. It was a legit megazord with all of the details with was rare to see in a dream, anyways he charged at me and I ran back out of the room. There is a long time of me running from him and he no matter where I was, would always be keeping track of me. At some point in time I would check to see if he is actually still a zord and he would be. I'm now ahead of him and start to run off in a different direction but didn't because I was enjoying the good chase I was getting and decided not to turn off. I become Lucid and very aware and look back at Daizyujin (Megazord). He looked back at me, also becoming aware of me and not a blind DC. I seen the light on the ceiling and the park/ ride behind me and then ended up tackled by him and held in his arms. He looked at me and was aware of my feelings and held me for a bit, smiling. As he did that the dream cam shows him holding me but looking slightly human and then it went back to him holding me. He then let's go, pretended to walk away and no sooner I began to think Yeah SC messing up again. He turns around suddenly and gets me again. Something happened and some bad guys or something has broken into the house.

Megazord goes after them and while they were dealing with him, the predator, one of my partners came around to me. Despite what he was I knew that he was friendly and means not to harm me. He walks over to me and gives me a smile as well but sheesh he was ugly. His mouth was open and webbed out with those little spikes at the end and it was pink inside and I kind of grimaced at his face. He saw it and was greatly disapproved that and frowns at me, looking now angry. I ran away from him but there were baddies behind me and didn't know, the predator saw them too and tried to kill them but they took me away somewhere.


Now I'm outside of the warehouse at night and three shadow guys are attacking me, dragging me on some wet grass to somewhere and this is where I lost more details upon wakening. Some long time had gone by and I was somewhere. The predator managed to track us down and he scared off the bad people who were harming me. They dropped me on the wet ground and then they took off running. The predator chased after them away but then he came back to me. He held my head in his arms and was making harmless sounds and I think he kissed me or at least wanted to do so because his head was close to mine and his mouth was flared open from scaring the baddies away, however i think a part of it touched me on the head because I felt something rubbing my forehead and know it was him from the sounds he made wasn't the clicking sounds though. When megazord came back he saw me with the predator and he is a monster. Megazords kill monsters and I was afraid of him harming him but he saw that he was helping me and realized what had happened. While he was occupied with the guys another set was gonna try to take me off somewhere but the predator was there in which they were unaware of and they couldn't do what they planned and tried to fight him instead. Seeing that this monster was kind enough to protect me he didn't attack it and I was glad that he was aware of that. He ran over to us and before he got to us, woke up.

A great birthday dream and hope to recover more of it. ^_^

Morning of April 7, 2016. Thursday.



There is a backstory to my dream of having collected water from a shallow pond. I am not sure of the setting or its location. My sister Marilyn (half-sister on my mother’s side) is nearby and as she appeared before I moved to Florida in 1967. My family as they are now are also present at one point.

I look into the water and below the surface I see many implied one-celled animals (which you can only clearly see with a microscope in real life). Marilyn also looks on.

I see a glowing transparent centipede, swimming downwards (which puzzles me since I know centipedes are not aquatic), forming a moving staircase shape (like a mobile escalator) eventually going out of sight. The one-celled animals (mainly protozoa) swim down out of sight but are visible at other times.

Eventually, a small fish jumps up out of the “aquarium” which surprises Marilyn. I am somewhat surprised as well, because I thought I had gotten the water from a pond that was not deep enough to be suitable for fish. I am not sure where the fish is after the jump, perhaps on the floor. (A fish out of water represents the dreamer coming out of the dream and as a result, my dream shifts to the waking transition.)

Later, I am holding an antlion larva. Over time, I notice blood on the tip of one of my fingers. It seems that it had been biting me (even though they do not bite in my experience). However, it also seems to instead be the result of a hangnail. Still, I ask my sister whether or not antlions eat people.

---

Again, a fish is a projection of the dream self in the dream state (and water represents sleep and the flow of thoughts in the dream state). The one-celled animals may be a reference to minor neuron activity or a subliminal association with other dreamers. An aquarium is a downsized focus on the dream state itself, representing the human mind on one level.

---

The unlikely “phasing” centipede swimming in the water represents a shift in consciousness. In this case, as it swims deeper, it forms a symbolic staircase to link to the nonlinear events throughout my life and down into the depths of the unconscious. This is evident by the link to a version of the original childhood “Taboo” dream (sparsely recurring, no more than perhaps four times) and upon checking, I found markers and parallels. It has the same basic setup; that is, looking at an aquarium of (visible to the naked eye) one-celled animals, though this was in third grade in 1970, one version found to be on today’s date exactly forty-six years ago (and which appears to have been partially influenced by the movie “Jigsaw”, about a man finding a body submerged in a bathtub). I have not held antlion larva much since third grade. This ending element represents a typical waking transition because an adult antlion resembles a dragonfly, which is a flight symbol. The bloody finger may be an association with our youngest son’s hangnail. The reference to “eating people” is a reference to coalescence and the dream self merging into whole consciousness during the waking transition (especially the association with “lion” as a lion is often a form of the more aggressive emergent consciousness). Also, an antlion is shaped somewhat like a human thumb, where my youngest son’s hangnail was. The antlion’s mandibles may be an association with the hangnail itself.

---

Other phasing staircase references (as the “water centipede” in this dream) can be found in dreams such as “Rocket Science?” (July 2, 1976), where a sheet of typing paper mysteriously “rolls” down from the ceiling (which represents the liminal state between sleeping and waking) and forms a staircase pattern or brief “escalator”. This focus greatly intensified that dream. A similar event occurs in “White Noise Staircase” (February 21, 2014). Identifying phasing staircases may be beneficial, since I believe that it may also be relevant to a deeper bond with the Source and wholeness, as a staircase is a link between sleeping, dreaming, and waking).

---

A centipede may be a dream’s rendering of the human spinal cord. In water (as in this dream) it serves as both a reminder of the human physical form as such and immersion in the dream state via the staircase or escalator metaphor. On one level it is the energies of my unconscious awareness returning to the Source. In the first version of “Taboo” from 1970, it was more about “sea monkeys” (brine shrimp) on one level. These “sea monkeys” also represent the human spinal cord.

Tonight I was very tired and memories have been few...

I'm with a co-worker, he has a lot of work and also he does not know how to do some of the tasks, he asks me for help.

I'm with friends at a bar in which there are many people, in a moment I decide to go to another part of the bar and I see a table on which there are also many people. I meet a girlfriend I did not see a long time. At first I am ashamed to have to get close, but then I think better and we greeted cordially.

Starting to get exhausted from work again, so recall dropping.

1) I was a student again and went to visit a friend at halls of residence. My wife was with me. We arrived at the halls and went to the shop another friend gave us bags of dirty clothes and asked us to give them to the other friend to wash. We walked to a phone box and phoned. He wasn't in, so we went up to visit someone else. There were a group of people there. I was looking through the wiring of the phone system and thinking how complicated it was. Then we phoned through to the original friend and got his girlfriend on the phone, she kept me hanging on for ages and wouldn't give me her flat number, eventually she gave me her floor number and said to phone when we got to the floor, I promised to be really quick and just hand over the clothers to be washed. I noticed the time and said to my wife that we had half an hour to do that, drive home, eat lunch then get to lectures.

I had an interview in the morning which I had a stressful dream about, I got the job though!
Not very detailed with this write-up because I left it quite late.

Dream 1 - Work stress
I was in some kind of competition to be a butler, like the one that happens in the Maid-Sama anime. I had to grab my clothes and get changed, but the person who was supposed to help me out completely fucked up. I couldn't find my shirt or anything and he was supposed have gotten it for me, I just got really stressed out because I was one of the last people to rush into the changing room and I was almost out of time.

Dream 2 - Jungle + pumpkins
From what I can remember there was some kind of competition (another one?) to do with a bunch of small groups getting together to collect certain items. We had a small wheeled tray which we put these items in, at first I was unenthusiastic about it because all the items would be compiled and shared between all the groups, so there wasn't actually a need for me to do anything. But I seem to get skeptical about this and also felt like it'd be a dick move to just leave it to my other group members to do the collecting. We're in a jungle-like area which opened up to a small grassy area with trees surrounding it. We have to get a pumpkin so we put that in the tray, but I notice that there's a giant slice of tomato (Like 1 metre long) in the tray. Gross, you just dumped the pumpkin on the giant tomato, now it's all slimy -.-... I move the pumpkin a bit so it's not on top anymore.

D₁-I was at my sisters TKD school watching people break cement plates (with their fingertips, heel kicks, etc.) whenever I decided it looked fun so I started screwing around and breaking some. There was this metal wall with parts of it had hollow cement plates so you could work on accuracy, thinking it'd be interesting to see if I could actually break the cement plates I started fingertip thrusting and bladder striking the plates out of their socket. The plates wouldn't break but would fly out and spin like crazy in the air. My sisters instructor asked me if I wanted to actually go to the class and I was feeling happy-go-lucky so I agreed. He started showing me how to stretch for a 180° round kick. He kept repeating, slow and steady, slow and steady.

Dream skip

D₂-I visited a church I went to as a child and started going to the youth group regularly (even though I'm in college). My friend's brother, Jacob, started to sit beside me whenever I came. One day (mind you this is all a dream) a girl started hanging all over him before our bible session started and he looked over at me with a *please help me she won't get off* kinda look. Feelin bad for the guy I walked over and said," Oh hey mind if I borrow him for a bit, his boyfriend texted me the other day and you know how catty he can get if he's given the silent treatment for too long." The girl scrunched her face up into the ugliest, snobbiest look a person could possibly make and got up out of his lap (she had previously straddled him). Jacob's face was bright pink the whole time.

Shitty recall this morning. I think it's because of the painkiller I took right before bed.

I'm sitting in the train together with 2 friends, though I can't recall who. We exit, leaving our stuff behind, and go somewhere else for a while. Whatever it is we're doing, it takes us 30 minutes to get back to the train. The train had been waiting for us, like a taxi. We board the train again and I think to myself how selfish this was of us, plus impractical. People here have been waiting for 30 minutes, while there's a new train every 15 minutes. We could've just taken our stuff with us and taken a later train upon returning to the station.
