StephL

I wish I could remember it properly, but the first dream was about me and an old woman, searching for the foundation of the world at the shore of an ocean. And we found it - we dammed off the water in certain places, and dug into the sand, and after a while we found something like an iron-plate in the shape of a cut-out skyline.
Something with it was not in order, and we were there to put it right - I can only remember helping her to keep it free from the sand and the water to analyse. I think, we did something to repair it - but I can't remember what.

And one more Steph moves into a new flat dream.
Man - meanwhile I'd like to know, what that is supposed to mean.
I like our flat - must be something else behind it.
Again a shared flat and again I was in my early 20s and there was a dream with talking to the people - one woman showed me pictures of a model-campaign of hers in a magazine, and I adored her figure. I remember details - but they are boring.
Like us discussing, how deep down the windows should reach for it to be nicer and more light - then about at which height people could fall out - and if it costs more heating with more window space.

Uups - now I remember it!!
I was thinking, this is a dream - I looked out the window, and saw a quite indistinct street, expecting to see Munich - and then I thought - ah - this is okay, that's usually a bit mixed up in my dream-flats!!

How could I forget that - how could I not react to that!!??

People came in to visit - some guys, too - we who lived there were 3 women.
There was also a sexual episode, me with somebody, but only harmless, and two guys started making out with each other somewhere, too. And stupid me later mentioned that - to find out that the girlfriend of one of them was present meanwhile, and not amused to hear this particular piece of information at all. I feared to have to leave the flat for that indiscretion - but it was forgotten, when we visited the neighbours:
Like it was in at least in two other dream - one story above us was a mega flat, directly under the roof, the whole story of the house, and almost all one room, with columns and the walls a bluish tinged white. A couple lived there with small children - the guy was also the same, and I can't properly remember her. They were obviously quite rich, and we talked about that a bit and about how I miss Bavaria.

For keeping count - night before last night was a short but not mini LD - I wrote about it in my DILD workbook.
Again it was so that early yesterday evening my real life stress took on levels of having to deal with it, and I didn't repeat my hypnosis as planned. A bit it is also so, that I am weirdly afraid of doing it - in order not to find out, I might delude myself on it's effect. Veery stupid. I know.

There was another interesting episode, though.
I was told, that at the end of a tram line there would be the second zoo of Hamburg.
And after giving it some thought I said - yeah - I've been there - and started to describe it and the partly weird animals they have there. In retrospect, it was again so that in-dream, I remembered another dream - several actually - with this zoo.
And built it into the actual one. By that the whole scenery and context changed - no more Hamburg, but I was where I had dreamt that zoo to be before.

I am so lazy journalling - I do go for recall upon waking up and either record on I-Phone or just think about it.
But meanwhile I am on the hunt of this in-dream remembering of another dream as reality.
It fascinates me.
So that's what goes in here.

It's no good, though, because meanwhile most 80 % of what I knew sitting in bed is gone by now.

But this is still quite clear - was so bizarre: I had a catholic priest seminarist as a beginning boyfriend and went to his lectures with him and got into a discussion with the prof. I think we had to leave then even - for some strange reason, the guy didn't dump me, but wanted to transform theology after what I had said.
Despite me not believing anything - I would have found out something important. Not exactly proof of god - but something almost equally impressive.
Forgot what that was supposed to be unfortunately.

Just to keep count - maybe I'll write more later.
Early morning dream - I walk with a friend up a road and tell her about how wonderful it is to visit her and what a fantastic day - and suddenly I think - yepp - it is a dream - it can get even more wonderful!
I told her to fly with me and we made a round over the city and decided to land on the roof of a very old cathedral.
It has stone sculptures and little scenarios as decoration and a huge cupola, we landed on. It's fun to explore the roof. All white marble and the figurines and a bit of blackening at decorative places. Beautiful.
I am shortly afraid jumping from the roof but only very shortly - I jump and fly but loose optics and wake up then.
It was at the end of a long dream.
Shame - the plan was to go down into the church and hold a concert there maybe.

Did my hypnosis session - and at least I dreamt of dreaming and the forum, even. And I have much more recall than usual - the below is by far not everything.

Crazy stuff - first I dreamt being at work with a friend from uni - and there was a scene, where I was in a conference room and got angry and threw my bag out of the window. With my camera in it and important paperwork.
Not much more from that dream - just that one needed a token to use the elevator, and if several people use one, you threw the extra tokens into a box. I threw mine, while she didn't have one and we took the stairs, and she told me, her unhappy love-story from years past had shown up again, and how she would suffer.

That was one dream - then the next one went on for a while and then it came to me telling people, that I would have dreamt last night of throwing my bag out of a window. A friend of mine goes - yes!! I have dreamt of you doing that as well - how stupid - out of the 23rd story-window and your camera was in it - and she knew more details.
Me - noo - it was only the third - got to go look for it..
And then it dawned on me - that sounds as if we had a shared dream!!
I thought about going on the forum and opening a puzzled thread - and explained to my friends, why I think, it can't work, and that I needed to search for a rational explanation, but couldn't for the life of me see one with all the details.
Stupidly, it didn't strike me as a strange idea to go around the hospital and search the ground for my bag - nobody knew where exactly that room had been.
It wasn't possible to access the ground around it so easily, so I got into a belated Christmas market in the middle of summer and other obstacles. And got woken up while still searching.

Something quite similar had happened to me before:
In a dream came a memory of having had a dream with exactly the (unfamiliar irl) setting of the actual dream - and my conclusion was - that prior one must have been a precognitive dream!

I did a proper WBTB - but only after only 2.5 h sleep, because I woke up naturally then, and felt weirdly awake. So I stayed up for half an hour and tried for WILD quite a longish while - maybe even half an hour - but then rolled over and slept and no LD.
So today I do a hypnosis session once more and combine with another, later WBTB.
If that then works - I know, that hypnosis has it's part in it. My latest 2/3 LDs were connected to doing it.

Just to get into journalling again - three fragments/parts of dreams:

I was with friends from work and a woman told me, that there would be a huge charity event, and if I wanted to take part.
Her husband and other doctors were putting on a show to gather money for children in need by -
flatlining themselves!! Bringing their hearts to a stop (medically) and leaving it so for 5 min. before reanimation.
I was horrified and tried to keep them from doing it - told them what all could happen - how mad I find it.
But they did it anyway and nobody died.

Another scene had me in school and a friend from university was there, too - and suddenly she takes out a mirror and a straw and some white powder - again me scampering to prevent her from doing that in the middle of class, whatever it supposedly was. That's a new one - don't think I ever dream of drugs normally - at least I don't remember it, but there's nothing to inspire such anyway - just to make that clear.

Another fragment was me having birthday and coming home with some friends of mine, and my mother had prepared such a food-pyramid-tray - don't know how to call that in English - and it was full of nuts and sweets and for some reason, I can see it clearly and in detail, when I remember it - there are always some picture-impressions, which stick for no obvious reason at all. Then there was a little bit of a festivity in an old childhood room, which was even smaller than it used to be, and we had trouble fitting in. Then we were chatting and eating. Na well.

:sleepysteph:

Well yeah - not much more about it - I have recorded my dream-recall and won't put it in here - I just wanted to mention, that in a dream last night, I justified hearing something about flying trains with the memory of that first flying dream-train.
And twice dreamsign detection worked a bit better than that in the last three nights - but I instantly lost lucidity and woke up.
Method - nothing - just natural micro WBTB and then lying on my back a while until rolling over to sleep/falling asleep then.
