I am in the presence of two old, harsh-looking wolves. They either change into, or give me, two wolf pups. I hear them say "These are Earth Wolves". There is some type of threat, a predator of some type, looking for them. I hide the pups in a small cave. The predator is looking for them and I hope they are well hidden. Then, the predator turns into a human male figure. I attack him, striking him with considerable force, then I feel sorry for him. I may have been partially lucid at this point. The dream went on, but I have forgotten the details. My wife pulls Runes every morning and this morning she pulled "Uruz", the rune of Animal Powers, making this dream very significant to me.
I am in a foreign country, I think Iceland. I know a young woman and she is showing me around. We visit several places and she finally says that she wants to take me to some type of magical place and warns that trolls and spirits may be there. We go to an underground set of rooms, very junky and dilapidated. (Quasi-lucid at this point). As we wander around, I look for any magical event or creature. We are standing at a closed door and as I push it open, I call out to Odin, Thor, Freyr, Tyr and Heimdall. As we are exploring the rooms the woman's little sister is holding my hand, sometimes I carry her. She is very close to me. The scene scrambles and I am walking through restaurants and shops. I seem to know it's time to leave and as I walk out the little sister is in front of me. I want to make certain that she gets home safely, and I bend over to pick her up, she puts her arms around my neck, and I carry her outside, as I speak to her. Outside I find she has turned into a large fuzzy cat, that jumps from my arms and walks away.
My sleep-meditation mp3 tracks continue to manifest in my dreams. Last night I listened to a reading of Go Rin No Sho (Book of Five Rings), a text about the Samurai and Japanese Swordsmanship. In a dream I entered a dark space, in a degree of sleep paralysis, then a light appeared and suddenly I could see and move. I would class my consciousness as 90% lucid. The reading I was listening to was coming into the dream as movement and light. After a short time I slipped back into a normal dream-state. My sleep meditations at night seem to be appearing more often in my dreams. I am excited, as this would mean I am having an effect on my unconscious mind.
