This is the second time I've had this dream. Both times it happens in the last home I lived in with my mom and sister. These dreams happened a bit over a year apart. The first time: I come home with someone and we go up stairs from the split entry to the kitchen. We hear a noise down stairs from the garage door when I look towards it a man it coming up the stairs worth a knife. I draw a gun and demand he leaves. He turns and runs. I walk down stairs checking for others. When I step in the garage to search another man runs from the basement room out the front door. The house seamed completely locked up so idk how they got in. Tonight's dream: Again I come into the same home with someone. We hear the noise except when we look this time he just runs out the door and doesn't try to attack. I draw my gun and search for the second guy and again he runs out the front door. The house was fully locked up. I woke up realizing I've had this dream before and questioning my self if it was real the first time because I was remembering such detail of both dreams.
Notes: I really wanted to do the half year missions and sensei's dare so I'm glad I was able to do it. But I also dislike how I was worried I wouldn't be able to do them. Next time I'll remember to stay calm and to not feel rushed by tasks. The sky was sort of cloudy and it seemed like the afternoon. I passed by a bus stop where people stood and headed towards a fast food restaurant. But as I was walking it felt like I was getting farther from my destination. Seeing a booth in the distance where people crowded around, I got the idea to ask a receptionist how to get to the place i wanted to go to. However, by the time I got there no one was around. Afterwards I had a false awakening and appeared on a bed in what seemed like my new room. My eyes felt closed but I could still see the blanket that covered my head and the super bright light that shown from the window. I hesitated to move because I could feel someone holding onto my feet.I became lucid than thought about how it reminded me of OBE dreams and something where I read entities leach on people by grabbing their foot or something like that. Anyways...I didn't believe it was an entity so I just moved my feet around slowly. I could feel the grip it made as I moved my feet around but it didn't seem like a hostile dc so I got up and looked at what was holding my feet. It let go and walked to the side of the bed where I focused on its appearance. It was just a tall slim man with a mustache who was apparently looking for me to tell me something. I was willing to listen but the dream felt like it was fading. Next thing I remember I was in a dim wooden room looking at a old black television thinking that I was playing Zelda with my brothers. But as I kept listening to the music I felt my awareness pushing through in the dream until I was lucid.I reminded myself that it was a dream after that and remembered that I was set on doing my mission and the dare Sensei gave me. But even though I was ready to do it I felt like I was going to be pressed for time. "First thing to do. Summon Sensei"I told myself after walking out the room.What appeared was a guy with short black hair wearing purple armor with yellow badges on his chest. I don't think Sensei has black hair but I decided to just roll with it. "Follow me!" I said as I leaped out a window and flew above a brightly colored lake in what seemed like a fantasy rpg setting. The sky was clear of any dragons but I kept focusing on it waiting for the dragon to come. A red dragon with orange highlights formed just as I wanted.Anticipating the first hit I flew straight at it and hit it with my feet pushing it down. Sensei did the same thing afterwards and I followed with a punch. The dragon flew in another direction but we flew at it again and tag teamed the dragon with punches and kicks. I wasn't up for using weapons for the tasks so I just fought like it was a brawl battle We ended up making the dragon vanish after hitting it many times but I still wasn't satisfied. Flying away from Sensei I contemplated going into outer space."Should I go?"I thought thinking about what if I ended up astral projecting. I shook that thought from my mind and looked around to see the dream was building walls around me. Jumping out and flying into the sky I decided to do the next boss mission alone since I would have to put more focus and had no time to waste. I zoomed through the clouds until I saw myself leaving the earth. A burst of blue, white,orange, red and light colors mixed around me as I exited making it seem mystical. Reaching outer space though I went back to first perspective and flew towards a purple planet that glowed.However, I passed the planet and ended up close to a smaller purple planet. I couldn't enter the planet though so I waited for an opponent to show up. A small fireball creature bounced off the planet so I went straight at it with a kick and punches. To my surprise though Garnet showed up out of no where and ended up doing a combo on the creature too. I just watched as she finished it off than noticed a dc flying towards me. "What do you want?"I asked. The dc showed me a drawing where I was in chibi form and asked me why I would flirt with him but always end up leaving him without a kiss or anything else. I told him not to worry about it and looked back to Garnet but than I woke up.

I'll start with the LD's I've had, then just post any dream I have from now on. Black=non lucid Blue=lucid Red=nightmare
What a ride. I forgot most because of how fucked up the ending was. My parents were on vacation, and I was keeping the house. The back of the house was in an alleyway, and our neighbour across the alley was a great dude. I kept talking to him, helping him with chores and stuff. On the last day of my parent's vacation I was really busy and extremely flustered. I burned my dinner, left food outside (??) and fucked up remembering to grab my keys that the neighbor left for me in his back garden. When he came out to find me, he saw how stressed I was. He said it was fine I fucked up, and suddenly I was in the water. We lived near a small island, and he'd taken me here to swim in the waves and unwind. Two cute girls were in the water ahead of me, and I started facetiming my parents to talk to them about my day. They felt bad and said that they would be home soon. Dad said I should take the family credit card and go buy myself an expensive dinner to relax. I said sure, and on the way home to get it, my mind dropped. My mom was in her pajamas on the back porch, checking the hot tub water. She wasn't really doing anything, just staring at it. I talked and she didn't respond. I facetime mom. She picks up. This mother creature stares long and intently, curious, at my mother's face on the phone. My parents exclaim shock and interest, like they're seeing a deer. I am seeing a demon 3 feet away from me. I scream and teleport onto the plane with my parents. The cute girls from the beach are sitting with us, and I nap on one of their shoulders.
Morning of December 23, 2016. Friday. I seem to be on Loomis Street, with my sister Marilyn still being alive though appearing as she was in the 1960s. However, her house’s layout is more like the Barolin Street house (in Australia), though the (Barolin Street) lounge room is a bedroom in my dream. In the last segment, the veranda implied to be at the front of her house is not familiar other than vaguely like the front porch of our present home. There is a focus on beds (most obvious dream sign ever) and Marilyn is talking about a special purchase she made in buying beds at a local secondhand store. Her husband is also present but mostly remains in another room. Marilyn seems very happy and seems to think the beds are like a treasure or very valuable antiques. I lie down to go to sleep on my “new” bed, but I am somewhat confused by its nature. It is actually only a set of elevated golden bed springs. Still, I am not nearly as uncomfortable in my dream as I would be in real life would this be the case. There is a period where I actually seem to be “asleep”, though there is still a level of awareness of my dream’s environment. I do find it somewhat odd that the beds are not complete but I consider that the rest may be delivered later. At another point, I am looking out from the high (fictional) veranda, though it is more like an outer mezzanine combined with the porch of our present home. I also look through a west window and there is some confusion regarding the neighbors (unknown man, woman, and at least one child) looking out through their window at the same time and seeming annoyed that I am looking out the window (though I have no interest in what they might be doing). They close the curtains of their window. There is soon an unknown male present (whom I have no association of being imposing in any way) who had found the neighbors’ act of closing their curtains as an amusing event. From the veranda, I watch a number of butterflies moving around, mostly downward. They (or at least some of them) seem oddly squarish (almost reminiscent of a postage stamp, as the wings of at least a couple of them seem perforated like a postage stamp) and almost as if they are made of orange paper. I get the impression that they may not even be alive, but there is ambiguity. Some of them must be alive or they would not be able to fly around. I watch one moving downwards, soon landing on an unrealistically located top of an implied apartment building roof (which would be an impossible perspective based on where I am) and consider that it had not been alive. The unknown male seems to think they are all alive. I mention to him how they do not seem to be fluttering or moving their wings at all for the most part. “They are oracular butterflies,” he says, which supposedly explains why they are not moving their wings even though some are flying back upwards at times. I do not understand the correct meaning of the word “oracular” and confuse it with it meaning something that is circular (even though the butterflies are squarish) though I also consider it might be the name of a species. I feel very peaceful and, although I find the scene puzzling, feel quite comfortable and continue to watch more and more of them move about above the street. Most of the butterflies were pale orange although a few were white or cream-colored. Orange establishes medium waking priority (biologically) and is analogous to sunrise associations (the patterns of emergent daylight being linked to bands of emergent consciousness).Butterflies are a first-level flight symbol, which makes up at least twenty percent of all dreams I have had in the fifty years I have closely studied them. Return flight factors (including falling or rising), analogous to the consciousness shift of the waking experience, are often within or near liminal space (as here, rendered as the veranda).The personified preconscious most often is the most present in liminal space (as well as almost always being the last and most dominant character), which is here, the usual porch-like middle point between sleeping and waking. He tells me that the butterflies are “oracular” which is associated with dreams being potentially precognitive though was not confrontational here as is often the case.The butterflies being somewhat reminiscent of postage stamps relates to the communication between synthetic temporary dream self identity and emergent conscious self identity.

I go to get some drinks for my boss and I asked her if she wanted red or green pert and she picked red.
I had several dreams that were very peaceful and happy. I am just enjoying life in most of my dreams and exploring like a detective of my mind. The dream that really stood out last night was one of me in the center of a sandy circle that had logs setting around the outside chopped like stumps to make seats. There were several people surrounding it and most of them were children. I was in the center doing a karate type dance (I get this karate type stuff often) when I became lucid and my self confidence started to dwindle because I am terrified of crowds I wondered how was I doing this karate lucid when I don't know karate and what was I doing? Is this a class or a competition? Whatever it was I decided I wanted to see where it was going because I am a curious soul lol. I continued to do what I was doing but I was watching myself from the outside again. Everyone was clapping and dancing to the bongo type drum sounds as I was doing this dance. It was nighttime and there was light from fires and I could see the little embers floating around. I was not wearing karate outfit but more a natural type outfit of grass skirt and leaves for my breasts. I was impressed watching myself. This lasted for a while.
21-Dec-2016 - ND - Warriors ND: I fight two guys wearing nice clothes, one is wielding a big axe __________________________ 22-Dec-2016 - No written record Several short ND and LD - Didn't write anything down so forgot them __________________________ 23-Dec-2016 - 1 ND + WILD - The Shadow world WILD: Many elements look influenced by Skyrim - environment, town, houses, Necromancer, skeletons 6:30AM, ~30-40 mins HI, several short scenes, then stabilize LD in my tower, touching walls' stones and looking at objects In the tower, on a shelf, I find an open matrioska, several pieces, the smallest is tiny, like a hair I compose it, then look a it, take it with me and step into the portal I am in a tundra, at night; see several bare trees, little snow, no grass. I choose a direction and walk After a bit I find a small village, made up of some wooden houses. I also see couple of horses in a stable, very few people around. I enter a house, meet a girl inside. We exchange few words, then I ask if I can help with anything She mentions that lately, at night, some villagers have noticed dark creatures. They don't know what they are and have no clue where they come from I tell her I could take care. Is she available to provide any reward for it ? She answers yes I am clueless where to start looking for the dark creatures, hope for some guidance, and see a glimpse of a light path pointing NNW I take a compass, walk following that direction, reach the woods again The environment is very similar to where I ended up out of the portal However, near some trees I notice some "bubbles" of darkness floating mid-air I understand those are portals out of which the dark creatures are coming The dark portal closest to me grows in size, and a shade comes out of it It's looking very similar to some videogame monster I cannot identify during the LD, but which I recognize as Guild Wars 2 shades at wake-up LINK I shoot a fireball to it, but it just passes through the shadow. Hmmm, no way the sword can do anything to it either. I give up the chances of fighting with just DHL selected powers, and I invoke some sort of "light" power. A white light fills the blade of my sword, which now shines in the darkness. With this light-infused blade, I cut through the shade, which drops to the ground cut in half. Good ! I notice it's kinda solid inside. I think this should already count as DHL mission, but I also feel there is more work to do. The portals are still there, threatening villagers. I need to close them, understand the root cause so they won't open again. I approach the portal, put my right arm through it, I get no harm from it. The arm is looking like immersed in a pool of dark, liquid smoke I also put my left arm through it. Then I use both hands to enlarge it enough that I can pass through it with my entire body. Then I cross the portal and reach a place I've never seen, dreamed or read before: The Shadow world It's a dark world, but its darkness is hard to describe It has trees, made out of shadow, like a thick, solid black smoke shaped as a tree I look up to the dark grey sky and see a totally black sun "shining" darkness A thick fog is shielding my far sight I start walking, then look back to see the portal I came through, shining bright light Inside of it, I can see the forest I left before I think it will make for a good reference point After some walking I see a structure gradually emerging from the fog It's a high, flat wall. I walk toward my right and see its side is open. Approaching it, I notice it's built of the same substance of the trees, a thick shadow, although it looks more solid I also see it's shaped as a tunnel, it has the two long walls, a roof, while the two short sides are open I enter it and see the interior is covered in "stone" slabs, each engraved in characters I only partly know It looks like a burial chamber. I exit it and walk some more I approach a tree, and stop thinking that my mind has built all of this I take some time to be appropriately amazed at this impressive fact Then, the tree grabs me with its branches. I take some time to look down at the ground Then think I had enough sightseeing, so I take my light-infused sword and swing it a couple of times A diagonal cut to the tree trunk makes the top slide down, allowing me to touch the ground again Then I examine the tree roots and branches, but after some interaction, it dissolves to a thick, shape-less black fog I understand I again need some direction. I raise my sword, which shoots a straight ray of light towards a certain direction, ending up between some rocks I walk that way, pass a river made out of flowing black water, thanks to a black wooden bridge After some more walking, I reach a wooden house. It looks like solid wood, although very dark, definitely man-made I enter the house. Ground floor looks empty and uninteresting. Looking better I notice a staircase going to the upper floor I climb it and explore the first floor. The last rooms contains a bed, a man with a dark robe is sleeping in it I point my sword to him, he quickly gets up I ask him who he is, he answers he's the Necromancer Antonius I also question him if he's responsible for the shades invasion, he says of course, shows me an amulet he's wearing, which allows him controlling the shades I would like to avoid killing him, if possible He attacks me summoning two shades, which hold me by my arms, I cut them with my sword I prepare a fireball in my left hand, feel the fuzziness / warmth in that hand, then launch it towards the Necromancer The fireball hits him, he goes up in flames, suffers a short time, but then summons at sort of shower, which extuingishes the flames At this point, recall is kinda messy He orders his helper, which I had not seen before, to do something that would hurt me (what?) She's a girl, walking at a table, after his order she looks at me She's dressed with drab clothes, an old ankle long gown I ask her not to hurt me because I want to help her, she seem not to hear me I telepathically ask her if she's deaf, she answers yes I ask her name, she answers "Autière" I tell her if she's captive here against her will, I will save her, she accepts my offer I summon a skeleton behind me, he's got a greatsword in his hands Don't know why I think about this, but I take some time for fun, exploring the space among his bones I put my finger among his ribs, then my arm inside its rib cage I put a hand inside its mouth, it bites it, I feel a mild sting in my hand After that, it's time to be serious again; I summon a second skeleton and focus Necromancer Antonius again I quickly approach him with my sword drawn, and point it to his chest I tell him not to move otherwise I will not hesitate to kill him I take the amulet from his neck It looks like a bronze clock, opens as a shell When I open it, dark shades flows out like a fog I close it back and store it I tell Antonius I will abandon him here without his amulet, guarded by my skeletons, he will never have the chance to come back to Earth He protests, I tell him the only other option is dying right now by the sword Then I take Autière with me, we walk down the stairs and exit the house While walking to the portal I ask her if Autière is her real name, she tells me no I provide her paper and a chalk, she starts writing some letters, I clearly read "VELE", then I understand my mind is making up the rest I try to let my mind go of the control in some way I ask her to write while I give her my back, but I still feel I'm making it up Anyhow I read a name, I memorize it, will look it up in the morning We reach the portal, then the town. I go to girl's house I was before, we enter it. I tell the girl I managed to take care about the shades, they will never be a problem anymore Then I ask her for the reward, which she dutifully provides - no details I summon my tower again and store the amulet there Then I return to my body, gradually move it and wake up
I am in a retreat setting. There is a guy who has arrived back to meet both me and Louise but also of course continue with his meditation. He has climbed to the highest mountain in Spain and is prepared to put all his differences aside and get back to the thorough job of meditation. He is so joyful and full of respect for us even though he is so much older than us. We are in a small flat like area that is not the usual setting I am use to in retreat. There is an office out the back and a social area in the middle. We move to an actual retreat and we are sharing about different aspects of our life. We eventually get into a meditation and and after a short session there is a chance to look at some of items on display. I am helping out with the displays and as I get some of the items ready a lady my friend Bernie Jeffrys notices the pain or trapped nerves in my shoulder. She puts a healing hand on it and I go into meditation. I can feel my breathing lightly in a one-pointed way and even when one of the retreatants come up to me asking me about the products I do not answer as the focus and the healing seems so important. The pain moves further up in my shoulder. It has shifted and Bernie looks at me with soft eyes and I say that really helped the pain has moved on to a new stage. Brian is explaining to me about all these different ritual items. I think he is just talking to me one to one. He starts also explaining the Christmas tree which should be a dream sign but he does it so convincingly I believe it. There is something really magical about the tree as he explains it. When a look back there are lots of other Sangha members at the meeting.
Last night bed at 10 pm. 1am - 2x300 mgs Alpha GPC 3am - WBTB 3:17am - 2x4 mgs Galantamine and sofa 5am? waking up from lucids (forgot to note the exact time) Started out on my back with my cat across my legs. Noticed some stomach ache and I realized I didn't eat any bread with choline or galantamine as I used to. Turned to my left side and got lucid almost immediately after. Non-lucids remembered at 3 am: DR1: Me and Ophelia are coworkers. We are together in some town that's not hers or mine. She needs to drive back and it's getting late, so I offer her to sleep over. As we are walking, she mentions that she got a new job, teaching in Canada. I'm shocked. She says she starts ( I expect to hear "next year"), but she says "next week". I'm so surprised and hurt, I can't even say anything. I suggest that we could both get jobs babysitting in US instead. DR2: Still Ophelia, this time at my house. Same scenario, she is leaving, I offer her to stay... LUCIDS: 1. - Dildo market I'm walking through some indoor market place. I stop at a stall that displays dildos. Beautiful, dark wood, shiny, glass... All kinds, shapes and sizes. I say I want one, and gorgeous young black dudes lounging near start to giggle. I keep browsing but I don't see what I like. I ask them to show me more. One young, blond beauty says ok, walks to the back with me and starts to undo his pants. I say I would like to test drive some and the black dudes keep giggling. When I'm sitll not seeing what I would like, the offer to make me one and start bringing all kinds of materials. I ask what for and they say "for a display case". Black dudes are now roaring when I reply "NO, I only want the THING". 2. - I'm flying through some futuristic city, high among the sky scrapers. It's at night and cloudy. I see a huge billboard with some scary, cloudy skies. I decide I want to go there and see if i can find some intense place. As I come closer, it changes into an image of some huge factory hall. I decide I don't want to go there and I pull myself out of the image. 3. - Same city, over some highways and freeways partially suspended in the air. I'm watching cars pass by when I remember the TOTM - lift a car and carry it somewhere. I stop a yellow car with my hand up and I pick it up with my hands. It turns into a radio, so I put it on my shoulder and listen to the music while I go and pick up some more cars. I lift one up and put it on a tractor trailer that's near by, so it still goes somewhere after I stopped it, haha. The driver looking at me is Tom Cruise. I pick up few more cars, same way by standing in front of them and lifting them with my hands. They are weightless. I move them around a bit and put them down. Just as I practiced during day, haha. 4. I look at the dark stormy cloudy skies and decide to fly there for some action. I am noticing that I'm looking for some intense and normally scary things to do in this lucid. 5. I think this was a first one. I look up at the skies and see something. I don't remember what it was but I straighten up and take of flying there. It is something blue with red. Oh, before the lucids, I had lots of sex. No happy ending though. EDIT: Non lucid. I'm at work, doing markdowns. A man and a woman come up, showing me a list of floral deliver and they want me to sign for it. Dude swears it's all in there. I tell him we are not allowed to sign, they need to find some kind of a manager. Almost identical to what happened just day before. Amazing.

I'm carrying a big piece of wood. I carry it like a plank balanced on my shoulder, and I'm walking along a quiet country road. Up ahead of me is a friend who died in a car wreck earlier this year, Don Wilson. He is carrying what looks like a piece of a waterslide, the plastic chute part. He is about 100 feet ahead of me, walking along the left shoulder of the road. I am following him. We are heading to some amusement park to install the waterslide. There are tall, dense pine trees on either side of the road. Don suddenly makes a sharp right turn, crosses the road, and disappears into the woods. I try to follow him, but he is gone and now I am lost. I don't know how to get to the park, and I am carrying something he needs, another part of the waterslide. I see a clearing in the woods up ahead where I saw him disappear. I discover it is an entrance to a hidden subdivision of lakeside homes. There are docks where boats are tied up, but Don is not there. The subdivision is familiar; I've seen this place before in another dream. I enter a house and speak to a black lady who seems very annoyed at my presence. I ask her if she's seen my friend. She has not. I am still carrying the long plank on my shoulder. It feels very awkward. As I turn to leave, I see an imposing white man standing behind me. His arms are crossed and he is frowning at me. He is wearing a blue t-shirt and his arms are very muscular. "Did you get what you needed?" he asks me with angry sarcasm. He looks eastern European. Both he and the black woman are very hostile; they want me to leave. I head back outside and see a rescue helicopter taking off from a far dock. Several paramedics in blue shirts remain on the docks as the chopper elevates and quickly departs. It is going on an emergency call. I decide to head over to the paramedics to see if they've seen my friend, but before I do, the muscular man I saw at the house suddenly joins them. I realize they are all brothers. There are about seven of them, all in blue shirts. I am worried they too will be hostile towards me if I approach them. As I contemplate what to do, an attractive woman with dark hair suddenly appears. She is the sister of the seven men. I recognize her from somewhere, and she knows me. When she sees me, she comes over and embraces me with happy surprise. We were lovers at one time. After her brothers see us hug, they stop being hostile towards me and I feel safe. I tell the woman I am looking for my friend, Don, who is carrying another part of the waterslide and he needs my part. She says something in Czech to her brothers and they immediately begin searching for Don. I say something to her in Russian, and she is impressed. As we search the docks for Don, I suddenly realize Don is dead in WL (though I fail to gain lucidity). Knowing we'll never find a dead man, I am now embarrassed to tell them we are searching for a person who no longer exists. It would make me look delusional in their eyes. So I say nothing in the dream and pretend to keep searching for him. The woman gets close to me and I am chewing gum. The wind blows some of her hair in my mouth and my gum sticks to it. As I pull the clumps of gum from her hair, I apologize but she doesn't seem to mind. Suddenly the paramedics' radio gets a message that thirteen kids had been killed in a waterslide accident at the local park. The authorities are now looking for me. I realize that was the reason for the rescue helicopter's departure. Dreamt 12/6/2016

I am a bass guitarist in a rock band. I am practicing with my bandmates for an upcoming concert. The concert is at a church. The piece I am rehearsing is a Jimi Hendrix-style riff. It starts by sliding high up on the 12th fret and then it comes down to the 3rd fret hitting the low E. The scene fades. I am now with my friend, Eric and we are on a beach, sitting on the sand and smoking cigars and looking out at the waves. The waves are growing more and more powerful. I back up and sit on a wall further back from the shore. I am now perched high up on the wall (maybe 50 feet), looking down at the tumultuous ocean. Being above an ocean with strong waves is a recurring dream sign. A huge wave suddenly crashes on the shore and reaches the bottom of the wall. I realize the wall I am sitting on is made of sand and the wave will cause it to collapse, so I decide to jump off on the other side to get further away. On the other side of the wall I meet a guy I've worked with for a year but have never seen face-to-face. His name is Brian, and he is standing next to a new black BMW he just purchased. He shakes my hand and asks me about my new Mercedes SK500 (in the dream I haven't purchased it yet). As we are talking, a female police officer shows up. She confronts us because we are smoking. She is wearing a motorcycle helmet and sunglasses. There is now a group of people with us and she makes us all sit down in rows of chairs before her like in a classroom. She then has us come up to her and be searched, one by one. As I await my turn I hide the small cigar I had been smoking in the sand. I am confident that she is looking only for cigarette smokers, not cigar smokers. But in the dream I hide my cigar just in case. As I do so, a crumpled up half-pack of Camel cigarettes suddenly appears in my hand and I begin to panic. The cop at that moment looks over at where I am sitting. I discreetly try to hide the pack of cigarettes in my sock. I awaken right before she calls me to come forward. Dreamt 12/6/2016

I emerge from the underground transit system into a night world. I am with my wife. We are in Boston. I know this because I can see the familiar skyline in the distance, but it is not in the direction I am used to seeing it. We walk along a sidewalk and see an empty sports stadium. Although the stadium is closed and dark, I can see people inside, on the playing field, posing and taking pictures. Some of the people are standing atop each other and forming a human pyramid for the picture. They look like moving shadows from where I am standing. The scene fades to a bubbling countryside brook flowing over rocks near a cottage. In the dream, I find myself wondering if the water is fresh or salty, since the brook seems to be flowing away from the ocean rather than towards it. The scene fades. I am now in a country store, crowded with people trying to get near to the counter. A young girl works there, and her job is to separate the people by putting a wooden door between them and the different sections. She puts one behind me, but it breaks when I turn around. I seem to recall peanuts being sold in the store. The scene fades. I am now at another location. I've awoken on a leather sofa to see my brother-in-law wearing an odd "Irish" hat in the shape of a green lizard. I don't know why I identify "Irish" with the hat in the dream. My in-laws are there celebrating a birthday party outside on the front porch. I open the front door and see all the party supplies and table set up in a Halloween theme; all the colors are black and orange. Ashley (one of my nieces), is in the kitchen. She is doing the dishes. Yvonne (one of my wife's sisters) comes in from the outside and goes upstairs with a small kid following her. I don't know who the child is. I return to the sofa, by myself. I do not want to join any of them. Dreamt 12/5/2016

I am in a social gathering, a bar or something, celebrating. Saw Joe Quintanilla (a friend of mine from church years ago), but his face was purple and splotchy, as though he were decomposed. He was sitting in a corner scratching his arm. It looked like had a skin disease. His arm had the same black and purple splotches as his face. The purple, splotchy face is a dream sign. In the same gathering was an attractive blonde woman -- she was the sister of someone there. She was the center of attention in the room and she flirted with me. It seemed like we were at a convention of some sort. The scene fades out and now I find myself in an old, familiar neighborhood, among the homes I grew up near Longfellow Circle in Hollywood, Florida. This childhood neighborhood is a recurring location in my dreams. I am inside one of the houses, and the blonde from the convention is with me. We exit the house together and step through the rain puddles between the homes and back alleyways. We are holding hands. The only thing I can recall after this is being alone in a school which is closed and empty. I am wandering the looming hallways, with a sense of unrest. Feeling uneasy in a school is also a recurring dream sign. Dreamt 12/5/2016

I forgot most of the dream, but for one part. I look around, and I am in my childhood home. I am upstairs, and immediately instinct tells me to run to the attic. All is the same when I get there. The desk, the computer, the chair and floor mat, and most importantly, the smell. That same musky smell from all those years ago, still burned into my mind so that at any moment I now know I can return there in the dream world and simply be. What a comforting feeling. If a place can live on in such purity long after it is gone, it gives me hope that when the day comes and someone has passed in my life, they will still live on in me. Amen.
