    1. Qebehsenuef Canopic Jar (see also “bird resurrection”)

      by , 10-18-2019 at 06:20 AM
      Morning of October 18, 2019. Friday.

      Dream #: 19,296-12. Reading time: 34 sec.



      In the dryad stage, there is liminal ambiguity. The sign of movement and discernment of white (as with a nymph’s elaborate dress) seems to be a misperception. There is no one sitting on the low branch of a big tree in an otherwise open area.

      As a result, I walk through the sparse ruins of an unknown town, signifying the dream state is slowly losing cohesion. There is a more clearly defined warehouse (liminal space) I enter.

      I find an Egyptian falcon canopic jar (Qebehsenuef). It contains a mummified parrot that comes to life when I hold it. I vividly feel the movement as I hold onto it, even a subtle, pleasing vibration as if from a mild electrical current.



      See also “bird resurrection” (for the explanation of this process) that will follow this entry and have the date of October 18, 2019.

      Dream - parrot and cat
      I'm in school, though it looks like my university building (19th century, really majestic as fuck, dark wood and nothing concrete, huge building), and I'm talking to my friend Olly in the hallways. I see something that says '9th of July' and absolutely just go into panic mode... My presentation is on the 10th so I was like "no way! It can't be! it has to be wrong!" turns out it was the 7th of July which is still wrong but it made me feel a bit better. Then I spotted a parrot inside and wondered "why is a parrot inside"... Me and Olly approached it and I told him how my neighbour used to have a parrot just like that one. We decide to take it outside, along with a black cat that had appeared. I carried the parrot and Olly carried the cat, Olly isn't the biggest fan of cats either . We open the doors to go outside and I throw the parrot into the air, it flutters its wings and flies away while the cat just walks off, Olly has a look of disgust on his face and wipes his hands on his shirt. I notice that the bird pooped on me too a bit on my arm and on my shirt but I wasn't too bothered. Me and Olly then went back inside and walked up a few flights of stairs, kind of just wandering around I guess. We end up on the top floor and discover that there's a martial arts class going on, there's a bunch of people swinging 'no dachi' swords around in practice and they're dressed up in black japanese garbs. I think I boasted that I was really good at using these swords and attempted to duel someone, but I woke up around this point too and it's all a bit blurry.
    3. Living Dead Girl and the Snowy River

      by , 09-17-2014 at 04:35 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      I am playing Dwarf Fortress, and mix with the game a little as I micro-manage the Dwarves to build an epic tower defense style entrance to their underground Fortress. It should be impenetrable! But I have to meet my friend A for coffee before I go to work.

      I drive to the coffee shop on the North end of town in a white pickup truck, keenly aware that I don't have much time before I have to go to work, in the opposite part of town. I don't see her as I arrive, so I park in one of the open spaces and get out. There are little Dwarves around me, and a large wooden post next to the truck. I tie the truck to it with a rope as the Dwarves climb over the rope, the post, and the truck. Seems normal. Then the truck next to mind pulls away, and gets stuck on something, pivots substantially, and puts a big dent in the side of my truck.

      Ignoring the dent, I still don't see any sign of my friend, so I go into the coffee shop. Immediately, some people ask me to participate in a study. I recognize most of them from when I was involved in the same study earlier. I was an auditor, checking in on their work, and never found out exactly what it was they were doing. Out of curiosity, I agree to participate. I thought I saw needle marks on some of the other participants, even though no needles were involved, so it seems like they have something to hide.

      Assuring me that they just need to do a couple blood tests, a strong guy literally picks me up off the ground by my left arm and carries me down the hall. I would've walked, so I let him carry me. Then I suspect that perhaps the reason for this treatment is because what they are going to do to me should make me want to run away. I struggle to break free, but he is ridiculously strong. All my struggling has puffed out my arm veins. He stabs a big needle into my main bicep vein, and quickly draws blood out of me. I conclude that this all was just a very efficient method to get blood samples, and I relax.

      I overhear a few scientists talking about one girl who they gave an injection to earlier. She has turned into some sort of monster, and is very dangerous. They have her barricaded in one of the lower levels of this building, about two floors below us. They then tell me that as part of this study, I must feed her, and they hand me a brown tray with a few unappealing plates of food on it. Apparently, she has killed all the guards, and everyone else who has gone near her. Great...

      Making my way down to her floor, through some sturdy doors, and down some big stairways, I see her at the end of an abandoned hallway. Several open rooms are on either side of the hall, with no one in them. Some doors open, some closed. Blood, debris, and trash is strewn all over the floor and walls. It looks like a massacre. ...Quietly, I walk up to her from behind as she is hunched over a dead guy wearing a white lab coat. It looks like she's eating his flesh. I poke her gently in the back with the food tray to get her attention. With twitchy reflexes, she turns to face me abruptly, her cheeks and mouth covered in blood and weird black slime. Letting out a low growl, she begins to turn her body to face me as well as if she's getting ready to pounce like a cat. Basically, she's one of those scary fast zombies now...

      Dropping the tray at her feet, I turn and run as hard as I can down the hall back the way I came. I hear her approach, but don't dare look back as even the slightest hesitation might be the edge she needs to catch me. I dart to my right into an open room, and close the door, locking it faster than I thought possible. A sturdy wooden door, with a very narrow window, I feel safe now.

      Smashing the door right through the frame, she jumps into the room after me. I back away, and jump over a bed, putting it between her and I. She slowly walks up toward me, and climbs onto the bed. Laying down on her side facing me, she begins to speak normally. She tells me of how she no longer needs to have sex to reproduce. Having been discouraged by many males' eagerness to have sex, and concerned about that, she gave it up in favor of killing people to reproduce instead. Somehow it works for her. Almost on queue, I jizz in my pants. Yes, just like that SNL skit... "Well, now I especially am in the position to get killed by her!" I think, as I try to stay on my feet.

      I put my hand on her shoulder to comfort her, and am teleported to a river in the middle of the night. I am positioned precariously on a steep snow bank, that is rapidly being dissolved into this raging river. I try to climb out, but the snow is too wet and slides down the bank, nearly taking me into the river with it. It all turns to slush around me.

      With a few steps, I leap across the 10 ft river, onto the opposite snow bank that looks like its in better shape, and try to climb out of that side. The top of this one is crusty snow, and large chunks of it break off, falling over my head as I try not to fall with them into the frigid rapids right behind me. However, I have no other choice but to try, so I make another leap for the edge, only to have it break away, sending me falling backwards into the river.

      Now looking down on the river from up in the sky, I see that I have died, and my body is being carried by the currents downstream. I watch as it floats along. Then it is carried to a Dwarven Fortress that is harnessing the water for some sort of industry. They fish my body out of the water and pass it to the medics to see if they can revive me. I watch as they try, and then conclude that I have died.

      I re-materialize in front of the coffee shop again, having just parked the truck. This time there is a parrot on the post that I have tied the truck to. The parrot criticizes me on many levels. The parrot seems to have been emboldened by being let out of its cage. I let it criticize me, not really caring, because soon I must deal with the demon girl. I warn the parrot of this girl, and how the parrot himself should be careful - as she is very quick. I perceive images in my mind of the girl transforming into her demon form after being a cat, then a demon cat, in various stages of development.

      I realize that time is not linear as we normally perceive it, and get in the truck to drive to work.
    4. The Origami Parrot, and Saving a Friend From Her Cheating Husband

      by , 08-01-2014 at 12:17 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I was "remembering" a time when I was in high school, and I had a blue origami parrot. It very much so seemed real; it would move, though it would make no noise. I showed it to my friends. I was super happy having this paper bird. When I took it home, though, I could not find a place for him. He needed a cage, but I didn't have one. I'm not sure what happened to him.

      I'm not sure where I was, it was a building in my town, but I wanted another origami parrot. I called up one of my friends, maybe Rachel, and asked her if she wanted to come with me to get one. I "remembered" I had gotten it at Animal City, a pet store here in town, though I wasn't 100% positive. Rachel was then with me, and I told her we were going to Animal City. We walked out of whatever building we were in, and Animal City was right next door. We walked inside.

      We walked around inside Animal City. We saw what looked like a very large brown cat with flecks of different shades of brown playing on a cat tower (one of those carpeted towers cats use to climb/scratch/perch). Many people were around it. I figured it was the store's current mascot (IWL they always have some sort of mascot animal). I, being the cat lady that I am, went over to the cat. I was super excited to see the cat. The cat then turned around, and its face looked alien. I had no idea what kind of animal it was supposed to be, but it definitely wasn't a cat!

      I then continued my search for the origami bird. I then came across a woman who had a small, green origami parrot. This is what I'd been looking for! The bird was perched on the lady's shoulder. I started to speak with her about the origami bird. She said something about it having poetry written underneath its wings. She unfolded one to reveal it. I did it myself as well, and had trouble getting the paper to fold back properly. I wondered if my old origami parrot had had poetry underneath its wings also.

      I then saw that the bird only moved when the lady moved its tail. It was like an IWL origame swan; when you move its tail, the wings move. But she would do it very subtly to make it look like the bird was moving on its own. I did not remember doing this when I had my origami parrot. Maybe my memory was deceiving me. At any rate, the paper bird moving on its own was definitely an illusion. I wanted to believe that it wasn't, but it definitely was.

      I don't remember if I got to have the bird or not.


      ~

      I was with Dallas at my old friend Kacey's place. She lived in a different town, as she does IWL. We were watching her do some dance performance with a dance team. It was some interpretive type of dance. I saw people that I knew in high school also dancing with them, one being Mary Lane, but her hair was waaaaay longer than I had ever seen it IWL. I saw someone else too, a blonde girl, but I couldn't place her name. I called her something that started with an R. Kacey's husband, Rick, was somehow also involved with this dance.

      When they finished, I talked to Kacey about Mary Lane being there. I also talked about the other girl, the blonde with the R name. Two girls, identical twins, then approached me. They had grey and pink in their hair. One I had mistaken for the blonde girl I knew in high school. I then realized I was wrong about the name of the blonde girl; I had no idea who these twins were.

      Everyone but Kacey and her husband cleared out. We were all visiting in their living room. A boy, a child of about 5 or 6 who was supposed to be Kacey's son (she only has a daughter by marriage from Rick IWL, none of her own) came up to us. He seemed like a happy child. I saw him smile up at me with his teeth.

      Then, where her son had been, was this big white bathtub full of milk and...dry cat food (I've dreamed of a bowl of cat food and milk once before, though I did not write it down). It was behind the couch. There was way more milk than cat food; I only saw some scattered pieces floating around. In the middle of the bathtub was a black and white kitten, who was drinking the milk and eating the cat food. She seemed super happy (what cat wouldn't be?). I then thought about how milk isn't good for cats, and how they would probably have to clean up cat diarrhea later.


      I then woke up, but went back to sleep into the same dream.

      The cat in the tub was now gone, and I was talking to Kacey in the living room. Dallas then came up to me, and told me he had heard Rick say he was going to cheat on Kacey! Kacey had not heard him tell me this; I think that Dallas whispered it to me, or Kacey was out of earshot. I really debated on whether or not I should tell Kacey, but she is one of my best friends, even though we barely talk anymore, and I owe this information to her; she deserves to know so she can decide what to do about it.

      I then told Kacey about what I had heard. She was aware of the problem; he went and cheated on her all the time, and didn't think she knew. I then told her that if she wanted out, she always had a place with me. I would take her in for as long as she needed. She wasn't sure what to do, but I feel like I kind of pushed her to leave him. She finally agreed, and started throwing some of her things together. On my part, I felt that I may had been somewhat impulsive, but I would, of course, take her in no matter what she needed. I didn't want her to feel pushed though. But that feeling quickly faded, because I was finally going to get Kacey out of her horrible situation.

      I then thought about her son, and whether or not she should take him. I couldn't remember for sure if the son was hers or Rick's. I guess I decided it didn't matter. I saw her get some things together, careful not to let Rick hear her, and we got into my car to drive to my place. I thought about us staying at my old apartment with Cherie', my old roommate, but realized that I had just turned my keys in (true IWL), so I couldn't just go in there anymore. So instead, I drove her to my parent's house. I had not told my parents prior to this that I was taking her in, but my mom loves her, so I figured it would be alright, and it was for a good cause as well. I did need to tell my mom, though. I went into the living room while Kacey stayed in the kitchen. I saw my mom wrapped up in a blanket, asleep on the couch. She was sick with a cold or something. I woke her to tell her about Kacey. I don't remember what she said. BUt I then figured out that my dad was cheating on my mom too. Wtf.

      I then thought about how Rick knew where my house was, and so we should probably relocate, because he would absolutely suspect that we were here.

      Back in the kitchen, I saw Kacey helping to fix up some dinner. As she poured frozen green beans into a pan with the entree', chicken probably, I thought that she looked like an expert the way she was putting the food together with confidence. It had something to do with the way she was pouring the veggies; she just looked like she knew what she was doing.

      I then realized that we had left Dallas. Whoops. We had to go back and get him. We drove back, hoping Rick didn't notice our absence. We got there to get Dallas, and Rick had a backpack on. A guy friend was waiting for him with a backpack. It looked as if they were going camping. Rick had not even noticed we were gone. He said he'd be back in two days. I knew he was going to cheat on Kacey when he was gone. Further, if he cared for her at all, he would have noticed she disappeared without warning for awhile. His mind was obviously preoccupied.

      At some point being back at Kacey's, I saw a bunch of sweat pants. I wondered if Kacey wanted to grab those to take with her.

      When Rick was gone, Kacey and I went into town to investigate. We came across this building that had signs on the front window. It said "Cheat! Cheat! Cheat!". It was a lounge for men to go to to cheat on their wives (subtle advertisement, right?). I forgot what it was called. There were men going inside.

      We then went into the lounge. Since it was daytime, not too many people were there yet, thank goodness. There were lots of big, circular and half-circle couches there. We went up to the counter, and two young men were there. We spoke with them, though I can't remember what it was about. They were acting like we didn't know where we were, trying to hide it and not doing a very good job at it; they were smiling and surpressing laughter as they spoke with us. They said something to us along the lines of there was no man that stayed faithful; all men cheated. When we decided we would leave, they said
      "Thanks for visiting the ____lounge, I mean room." As if room made it sound less shady.

      There were bits where Kacey and I talked about Rick cheating, and how she would approach him about running away from him. I don't remember if this was done in the dream or not. I don't think it was. During this whole dream, though, I felt very close to Kacey, closer than I have in years. I missed that, and still do IWL.

    7. The Sushi Factory

      by , 05-27-2011 at 04:25 AM (I Have a Problem)
      Date: 09-25-10
      Length: 1 hour
      Vividness: 8/10


      My family and I walked int a store where you could get many types of cheap costing, good tasting sushi.
      One girl that worked there showed me a couple of sushi types.
      I got a squid one, and on the same platter was a parrot sushi .
      She cracked off the head of the parrot and dared me to eat it, so being the completely sane and normal person I am... I did.
      We walked around some more and I saw that cereal cost $5.95, which I thought was really expensive.

      After she showed me around, I was going to get more sushi, but I realized it was all taken.
      I looked around and I saw two that weren't.
      There was a dog there, and the owner did a weird clicking sound which made the dog race back to him.
      My girlfriend, Dakota, and I sat down, but realized there was a beehive right there.
      I kicked the beehive and we both ran out.
      Dakota got stung but nothing happened (she is deathly allergic to bees).

    9. Visions of the future and an encounter with a very mysterious women

      by
      Hyu
      , 04-03-2011 at 04:03 AM (Hyu's Adventures)
      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      I occasionally have dreams where I feel I am in the future.
      For some reason in these dreams, I'm usually in LA California, even though I've never been to the US in waking life.
      There is no actual indication that I am indeed in LA though, I just know I am.
      This dream was extremely vivid, I haven't had such a vivid dream since I started being busy with school.


      I wake up in my king size bed in my house in LA.
      It has white pillows and white sheets and it feels very smooth.
      The sun is shining through the extremely big window in front the bed.
      The room is very bright.
      I feel refreshed and get up. I'm only wearing boxers.
      I go to the window and take a look.
      The view is absolutely amazing, my house is on top of a hill, I can see all the way to the ocean from here.
      I go into the bathroom and freshen up.
      The bathroom is very big, and very modern and colorful.
      I see myself in the mirror, I look good, I look happy.
      (and slightly older than I do now)

      I leave my bedroom and go check on my pets.
      I have quite a few parrots in a very big outdoor cage.
      The door of a room leads directly into the cage, I go inside.
      The cage basically consist of a whole room with a grid instead of a wall on one side.
      There is sand on the ground and a lot of different plants for the parrots to sit on.
      I can feel a fresh breeze coming in through the grid, it feels good.
      I play with the parrots a bit and go downstairs.

      Here I enter another room which I have transformed into a habitat for my lizards.
      I own about a dozen bearded dragons, and they are happy to have such a big room all for themselves.
      I don't stay in the room for too long, the heat and the bright lights needed for the dragons makes me dizzy quickly.

      I walk inside the kitchen / living room to grab a drink.
      The room is extremely big. This house is a true mansion.
      I feel like I really belong here, I absolutely love this house.
      I grab a drink of orange juice and exit the room to go outside.
      I am now in front of the pool drinking the juice.
      The pool is quite natural looking, it looks a bit like a spring feeding into a pond.

      There are a few beach chairs in front of the pool, and a bar where I keep a lot of drinks.
      I often have guests over, and the bar is a huge success.
      I decide to just lie down on a chair and chill for a bit.
      As I approach the chair I see a girl already lying there.
      She's my girlfriend, we live together.
      She has long orange/red hair, green eyes and a few freckles around her nose, wearing a white bikini with a red flower drawn on it.
      She's so lovely... so beautiful. I am so happy that she's my girlfriend. I am going to marry this women one day... I love her so much.
      She makes me a sign to join her on the chair and turns her back to me.
      I join her and hold her in my arms.

      Her hair is my face, it smells very nice... a bit like lavender.

      "Good morning sweetheart, how are you?"
      "Great! How are you?"
      "I feel absolutely amazing, like life is too good to be real."
      "Like a dream?"
      "Yes, like..."


      I'll be damned. I am dreaming!
      I feel sad at first, I wish this was real, but then I realize how amazingly vivid this dream is.
      I look at my "girlfriend", realizing I don't even know her name.
      I can see the pores on her skin.
      I can feel the heat of her body and of the sun.
      I can hear the small waterfall in the pool.
      I can smell her, even still taste the remainders of orange juice in my mouth.

      Wow, this feels so real!
      But what does this mean? Why do I dream about a future in California so often.

      "Are you... real?"

      I immediately realize that this was a stupid question.

      "Of course I am, Hyu."

      I think about trying to unsummon her, to see if she's real, but it feels wrong and I decide not to.

      "Is this my future?"
      "..."
      "You're not going to tell me, are you?"
      "It might be your future, it might not be."
      "How so?"
      "Everything is possible, after all destiny is governed by chaos."
      "Even the slightest change will change the course of history, no-one can look into the future, we can only look into the past."

      Well... she isn't a normal DC alright...

      "So all future is uncertain because of the chaos theory?"
      "Yes, but even though it is, time is relative."
      "Future present and past, they're all the same."

      I don't understand what she means.

      "But how can the past depend on the future?"
      "If this is the future, then by seeing this you will inevitable change your past and destroy this future by doing so."
      "That is why you cannot see into the future. That is why destiny is chaos."

      How true... I'm impressed that I can think this clearly even though I'm dreaming.
      It must be because the dream is so vivid.

      "Who are you...?"
      "A girlfriend... a wife?"
      "..."
      "I am what can be, and as such, I am chaos."
      "You are quite mysterious aren't you?"

      She turns towards me and looks me in the eyes.

      "Just the way you like it."

      Her eyes immediately remind me of Yuya's.
      They are different but they also have that infinite detail.
      I don't think that this women is Yuya, but they have something in common, I can feel it.

      "Tell me your name."
      "That I cannot, because my name is a secret."
      "Why?"
      "Because it changes everything."
      "It does?"
      "Everything does, every bit of information, regardless of how benign it may seem changes your whole of reality."
      "Why am I allowed to talk to you at all then?"

      She smiles.

      "Of course talking to me changes everything."
      "Every dream changes everything, everything you experience will change you for all eternity."

      "Then why can I not know your name?"
      "I told you, it's a secret."
      "But why?"
      "Because I am keeping it one."
      "Your curiosity is truly endless Hyu. And that's how it should be, that is how it needs to be."
      "I love you Hyu."

      Saying that she loves me overwhelms me with emotions.
      I am not sure what to say, but I do love this women.
      The feeling is so strong that it is only barely bearable.
      She closes her eyes.

      "Now kiss me."

      I close my eyes and kiss her.
      The feeling of love is so very strong that I don't even realize that the dream is slipping away.
      I just want to hold her, for all eternity.


      Then I understand that I've woken up and open my eyes.
      I can still feel the heat of her body.
      Oh how I wish she was with me, here in my bed.
      But I don't feel sad that she's gone, I still experience this feeling of loving someone.
      I know that it will probably last until the end of the day.

      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      I'm in my room, playing with my budgie who is out of his cage.
      (This is actually the guest room of my old house, but in the dream I believe it's where I currently live.)
      My budgie is sitting on my index finger when I notice there's another budgie in his cage.
      Weird... I take a closer look. My budgie takes off and joins the other one in the cage.
      I guess he found a friend
      ? (Felt like a reasonable explanation)

      I suddenly realize that I'm late for 'the party' and open the door to leave my room.
      It leads directly to some sort of party, in an absolutely huge place.
      It looks a bit like a casino, but with all the machines and tables removed.
      There are cocktail bars everywhere.
      Everyone is dressed very nicely. Men are wearing a costume or even smokings, and Women are wearing fancy cocktail dresses.
      I'm here because my company celebrates the release of a super successful game which I've worked on.

      (I don't work yet, still studying)

      A lot of people greet me, and I have no idea who they are.
      This makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, and I decide that I need a drink.
      I approach the center bar and order a brandy, because it's my drink of choice.
      (I don't usually drink strong stuff, and I've never had a brandy)
      It's strong, but tastes good, I get a warm fuzzy feeling all over my body.
      I turn around and look at the crowd. A little too many people for me to feel comfortable.
      I feel a bit out of place, but at the same time I know exactly how to act and I'm quite confident.

      I notice a women next to me at the bar. She's wearing an all red silky dress. She's hot, really hot!
      I take another sip from my drink and say hi.
      She recognizes me as the lead game designer for the game "Teraluna".
      Sounds about right?
      (I knew Teraluna meant something more, but I couldn't think clearly and ignored it)
      No wonder everyone knows who I am.
      She starts flirting with me which I enjoy. She's moving really fast, after a minute she's practically throwing herself at me.
      I'm pretty horny at that point and decide to leave the party with her for half an hour, nobody is going to notice.

      I leave through the same door I entered and I'm back in my room. There are a lot more parrots now, 7 maybe 8.
      The girl doesn't seem to find this surprising at all, so I assume the parrots appearing out of nowhere is a normal thing.
      I realize I don't know her name, and I feel a bit bad, but once she takes her dress off I have other thoughts on my mind.
      We have sex...

      ... I get dressed, she says she'll wait a few more minutes before rejoining the party. Makes sense.
      I leave my room and I'm in a corridor between my room and the party.
      (It wasn't there before but I don't notice)
      A man storms through the corridor and stops abruptly next to me, sliding a few more centimeters over the floor.
      I recognize him, he's the doctor
      (Matt Smith) wearing his usual outfit.

      "Parrots everywhere! Hi! I'm the doctor! You're wearing a bow-tie! Bow-ties are awesome!"

      I get the urge to ask him "Doctor who?" but I think it's stupid.
      But then he looks at me curiously. He's moving around me quickly, looking at me from different angles.

      "Aha! Everything makes sense! So it is you!"
      "Me?"
      "Yes!"

      Confusing as always huh?
      He takes out his sonic screwdriver, it's clearly broken and makes a pathetic noise.
      I'm starting to think at this point. The doctor? does he exist? Well, he's right there isn't he?

      "Yes, yes, you're getting there, think think think!"

      What? What is it he knows and I don't?
      He points at my head:


      "We're all in there"

      I finally get it... mostly. I realize that I'm dreaming, but I'm not 'fully lucid'.
      I understand that this is a dream, but I do not understand that the doctor is a fictional character, I believe he's really there, I believe that he's in my mind.
      He explains that something went horribly wrong with the Tardis, and they ended up in my dreams somehow.
      He opens a door, and sure enough, the Tardis is hidden behind it.
      The doctor explains that he broke his sonic screwdriver, and now he can't fix the Tardis and they're trapped.

      I suddenly get an idea.
      "Check this out!"
      He looks at me with a confused face.
      I reach into the left pocket in my jacket, searching for a sonic screwdriver, and sure enough, there it is.
      I take it out and hand it to the doctor.

      "You're a genius!"
      He runs into the Tardis and starts fiddling about with the screwdriver.
      I enter as well out of curiosity. I find it funny that the only thing I can think of is "it's bigger on the inside".
      He says that he's lucky to have ended up in the mind of a lucid dreamer.

      "It's working!"
      He says he has to leave immediately because Amy may be in trouble.
      My sense of adventure kicks in.

      "Can I tag along?"
      "God no! Don't you realize? That would be ONE HELL of a paradox! You'd be leaving your time... from within your mind, without your physical body!"
      "Right."

      I step out of the Tardis. As he closes the door behind me he says:

      "The mistery of the parrots. It still needs to be solved! Good luck!"
      The Tardis vanishes in it's usual fashion.

      I decide to go back into my room to check out what's up with the parrots.
      The girl from before is gone. I understand that she vanished because I forgot about her.
      However the room is full of all kinds of parrots. There are hundreds, in all kinds of colors.
      There are some types of parrots I'm sure don't exist in waking life.
      Oddly enough, I know what to do. I scan the auras of the parrots, and I immediately sense one that is far stronger than anyone else's.
      And not just by a bit, it's stronger a thousandfold at least.

      I search for the parrot in question and end up finding it in front of the window.
      It's absolutely tiny, maybe half the size of a budgie, with blue feathers.

      "Hello little bird."
      He looks at me for a bit, then back at the window. He spreads his wings and the feathers on his body start changing colors.
      It's beautiful! He glows in all colors at the same time, I've seen this pattern before!
      It's the same one I have on the wings on my arm when I teleport.
      I summon my own wings, and feel how the bird starts moving through the fabric of space.
      I follow him...


      (Pretty sure I shortly lost consciousness here)

      ... I'm flying though the skies, following this little blue bird as it travels the world.
      My mind is blank. I do not think, I just follow.
      After some time the bird lands in a sand desert. There's nothing else there, the place is dead.
      I land next to the bird. He looks at me for some time, then he starts walking towards the sun.
      With every step that he takes, plants grow out of the sand exactly where he just stood.
      Grass and beautiful flowers grow right out of the desert.
      I think that "he creates life", I conclude that he must be a phoenix.

      I follow him for a bit, by now he has not only created grass and flowers but also small rivers.
      So small, yet so powerful, what an interesting and wonderful being...

      I've been writing my dreams down but haven't been updating here so here goes.

      3/8

      something about a juvenile prison, that is just a deterrent and me and some other DC's trying to escape over the roof.

      Hectic meeting with some people I work with about some stuff that they are doing wrong, everything comes out into the open and they both admit to wrong doing. One of them admits to having an a affair.

      Can't remember the significance of the rest of my notes:
      D watering his plants
      neighbors flat - holiday
      railing kid safe
      gay guy
      talk to guy about flat windows

      4/8

      Long dream about moving into a flat in Pretoria. C doesn't like the courtyard I'm explaining that the plants have just been planted and they need to grow, it's like a formal garden with hedges. The flat is in a really nice building and we can afford it but we're looking for a cheper place that's just as nice.
      There is a strange bouncy walkway with red carpets, I think CT is there.
      Later F and some others are sitting at chairs in the courtyard i go and talk to them.
      Later there is a swimming pool in the courtyard and I'm swimming, staying underwater for very long periods. Suddenly theres acid in the water and it burns me. I get out and the burns continue to get worse E is in the dream at some stage.

      notes that don't make sense:
      flyers for church
      bikes, new tire
      watering grass
      buildings

      Later I'm chasing something with the help of a bloodhound

      5/8

      Playing golf with K at Unicorn golf club

      I'm at a mall with T and W. We are in the part of the mall that is only used by employees. It turns into a factory/mall, we are spies. We are running away and someone goes through a "baggage slot". At some point we're in a bathroom and I p on T - LOL

      Also at some point in the mall we are comedians and we are ripping on a group of people for coming to do something lame - to do with strangling a lady, only thats not a bad thing and the lady doesn't mind. I tell the group that they should "not be themselves" this was apparently a witty diss.

      6/8

      I'm teaching people about a healing technique which has to do about the other universe (too much fringe )

      In a hotel room with sex stuff going on, S and V are involved as well as K. K tries to make a fool out of me. There is lots of alcohol involved.

      7/8

      Was in my old SL house with C and P can't remember if L was there. Played on the giant rock with P.
      Tried to stop C from seeing me in the photos inside the house.

      Nap: Parrot with a broken beek and metal prosthetic. Golf club Dad and L are there. Pool with Alex, Andre and Ant - LOL
