The Cusp

The following dream was heavily fragmented recall wise. I always have trouble recalling heavy social dreams since there's so much going on. One thing I failed to convey when writing this one out was the sheer thrill of being with so many fellow dreamers.

The Gathering
Recall: 8/10
Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Left Side (Right Brain)

In a hotel, I enter a small room lined with chairs along the walls. Sitting in the chairs are members of an occult group, all sleeping. There is a small shelf full of books, and I pick one, the third in a series, out and begin to read it. Then I remember seeing a a VHS movie in the room made by that very author. I pop it in the VCR but it's a horribly cheesy black and white movie. The book I'm reading turns out not to be what I thought it was about. My brother comes in and starts reading the second book in the series.

There is a zombie in the room, and I stick it with a thumb tack, then put the tack on a chair so somebody will sit on it. Someone does and I expect him to turn into a zombie and get out of there. My brother and I go out onto the roof where we see a hot girl. We talk to her, then hear banging on the door. I try to tell her not to open it, expecting zombies, but she opens it anyways. When she does, several arms reach out and grab her. The arms belong to several hotties who want to drag her off to go party. We join them.

The thumb tack thing was from watching a movie before bed called "A little bit zombie", about a guy who got turned by a zombie mosquito. Tack = mosquito bite

-While out and about, we enter a Wendy's and I'm a little bit lucid at this point. We sit at a table with the remains of the last customer's meals and I pick some fries from their mess and eat them. Then I realize what I'm eating, leftover cold greasy fries. Yuck. I order some slushies without paying (cuz I'm lucid) and we sit down

-Back at the hotel, the feel of this dream with my brother is really familiar, and I ask my brother if he remembers similar shared dreams like this we had as a children. I tell him to think back to when we were kids staying in hotels with our parents. It seems he also remembers the particular feeling of this dream, but can't remember specifics.

There are some girls in t-shirts and panties leaning on a table with their butts sticking out, and I walk over and stick my face right in front of their asses, getting a really good look. It's good to be lucid!

-The shared dream theme snowballs, and I see more and more people that I think are other dreamers. The thrill of us all being together in a dream just creates an amazing atmosphere and we're all having a blast. I mingle. I see Waking Nomad and point him out to someone.

-Some of us end up in a large empty gymnasium, and one poor girl gets stuck in the wall, so I go over and pull her out. Some kind of force like unseen water begins to carry us around and around the gymnasium, and I pair up with Anne Marie. We have sex while being towed along in this invisible current, and when we're finished, a lesbian floats up to us.

The lesbian spreads for us, showing us her goods, and Anne Marie says she wants to touch it. They float off together and I head back to the hotel room still full of fellow dreamers. I'm terribly thirsty, and chug some beer trying to quench my thirst, but it's not working.

It was really hot in my bed, and when I finally woke my mouth and throat were bone dry, which is what caused my thirst in the dream

The room is packed with fellow dreamers, and standing rigid in the back of the room are two human looking aliens who ask if the can go now. I turn to say by to them and thank them for stopping by. The alien duo change from human to just red auras than linger for a minute, then shoot straight up.

Behind where the aliens were is a closet, and inside I see a few dreamers who have somehow trapped themselves. A couple have turned into 2d drawings of themselves, and I pick them up shake them until they regain their normal bodies. There is another guy with the top of his torso stuck in the floor. I try to pull him out, end up with a pair of legs just standing there. I also help him regain his full body.

I'm looking at all kinds of drawings an notes stuck to the back of the closet wall when two lawyers come in. I'm worried they represent the hotel and have come to kick us out for trashing the place (which is pretty trashed), not because of the legal consequences since I know it's a dream, but because I don't want them to ruin the great vibe we have going on. But the lawyers are there to talk to one of the people at our gathering.

I get the feeling that our gathering is winding down, and we all go outside onto the street for our final farewells. A girl walks by wearing a christmassy dr seus ourfit with no arms. I think she's just a random DC, but someone recognizes her and yells out "She's one of us!"

My thirst is just killer now, and I fell myself waking up and just let it happen since I really need a drink. I slowly fade out of the dream and wake up.

Maybe it was just a dream, but while I was having it I really believed I was having a shared dream with a whole bunch of fellow dreamers. There were so many people there, surely someone has to remember being part of it!
