    1. Driving, FA, random mind wandering

      by , 03-29-2011 at 01:39 AM
      3/27-28. 930. Something about WoW? Then driving at night. Rain? Headlights go off then turn back on. Then looking at stars. Maybe on the 71N before Pine, or on the 15N after Norco

      2ish. FA. Dad wakes me up I think. I look at the clock and it’s 415am, but my alarm is set (4am). Then I’m talking to him while he’s on the couch and he asks, “What did you see after I left?” It had been a dark kind of shadow but passed it off as eye trick, but didn’t say that, didn’t answer. Then I wake up for real

      At some school. I’m in a bed and Cameron from House is there and my mom. Something about some medications reacted and that’s why I got sick. Meds were for stomach pain and something else. Then I’m a super hero and I go to find the Flash. Find him and talk to him. Ask if he could take me back to my class on his back because I was running late. Then it’s a high school in a PE lockers kind of area. Some fire starts and I go grab an extinguisher. Electrical fire and some black girl is trapped in a stall. I walk around the stall and it’s completely open so tell her to come on. Then I’m on the school’s roof. Mr. Hxxxx from middle school PE opens a vent up to let out the smoke. Adam Hxxxxxx is with me and we jump around on the roofs. One of the gaps is too big I think so look for another way. As I finish looking, there is now a hill where the buildings were, hilly and open land, and there’s a ramp I use to get off the roof. I get to my class which is being held outside. I take out my phone and start to turn down the sound. The teacher sees and says, “I hope you’re putting your phone on silent.” “Yes, I am.” “Thanks for being honest.” Then in a Mid East kind of place, sandy and dunes. We’re doing a shot gun project that has to do with mapping out where shotgun shells land. There’s some guy on a piano. Then these raiders come and attack us (hills are green from the area they come from). As the raiders go by, some crawl out of the ground slowly, but very crude looking and jerky. Then I’m watching a MST3K movie and they’re making fun of how horribly the special effect of them coming out of the ground is done. Kind of a theater. Mom, and Kyle(?), there. I have these cards from Joy and Mark Jxxxxxxx so open them and read them
    2. Where’s Lucy? (meaning given)

      Night of September 21, 1970. Monday.



      This is a long repetitive dream relating to a search (by unknown people, mostly) for Lucille Ball from the “Here’s Lucy” television show. This is the episode where she is skydiving and there is ambiguity in my dream of whether she is still in the air somewhere somehow (not logical of course) or had crashed through a roof.

      Lucy herself does not even appear at any point in my dream. Instead, there are several scenes where I am on the roofs of buildings, somehow floating over roofs, and one scene where I am hanging from the ceiling after apparently crashing through the roof in a parachute, though this also seems like some sort of odd pretense (solely using some sort of mental power instead of by physical effort to suddenly establish the scene and setup and my placement, though without lucidity) in attempting to show others what might have happened to Lucy.

      In a few segments of my dream, I am only seeing the eaves of roofs and there is also something about television antennas that do not seem to be working correctly (and a few people are even using their televisions to help to find Lucy as if a television had built-in “radar” or a way of scanning the sky). Most of the imagery of the roofs becomes a bit convoluted (almost like a flight of steps in a couple areas) but there is eventually mist and oversimplified (unrealistic) buildings as the main form of the setting.

      Update Saturday, 26 March 2016: I can now look at this dream and decode it fully, as I see that it has the same basic metaphorical meanings of the dream state itself that is found in hundreds if not thousands of other dreams.

      Included in this dream are:

      The “failed flight” metaphor (or “something coming down from the sky”) that is not a negative implication at all but which simply represents the end of the dream (since flying itself - or in fact, contemplating or being aware of anything that flies or floats or is in the air - represents the dream state).

      The mist has been a common feature in my dreams though mostly when I was younger. A mist or fog relates to the dream state itself which seems metaphorical for a dream being “not as clear as reality”.

      The roofs that have somewhat of a staircase appearance in silhouette are a double play on “coming down”, as a staircase also relates to waking from a dream and whether or not you are closer to waking by going up or down depends on the dream self placement and perspective.

      Breaking through a roof (or even parts of a roof being blown away as in a few other dreams) is also related to the waking stage as is breaking through a wall (more so a window) or even coming through a door (which usually creates a shift in awareness for me, though not always related to waking - but is sometimes a transition within the dream as it continues, making a dream much more vivid in many cases).

      Antennas also relate to the dream state and the communication of dream self from threads of the conscious self, almost implying a dream being built in the manner of a television broadcast from the conscious self. A television is also a downsizing of the dream itself to distance the dreamer from direct involvement in a scene for whatever reason (and focus on a television seems to serve as both induction and waking preparation).
