non-lucid

Dream:

I was hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim in a day. I was alone but met up with Danny R somewhere in the middle. At one point the trail got so steep it was almost vertical. I wondered if I would ever finish in a day if it were like this.

I was looking in the mirror at myself. I saw the reflection of a young black woman looking back (about 19 or 20 years old). I noticed that I was a little overweight and felt a little upset about that. But as I looked closer I saw that my body actually wasn't that fat, but it was my face and neck. I had very round cheeks and my chin fat went down my whole neck. I remember trying to move around and stretch out my neck or get into any position where the neck fat wasn't so obvious.

I had gotten some dvd's that had to do with bigfoot. I started watching them. It was very interesting, yet creepy at the same time. It started off talking about the bigfoot conspiracy. There was a story about how a country in the middle east had tried to make a deal with the US that if we gave them a bigfoot body they would stop fighting with us. But our country didn't comply even though it could have. But most of the stories were about bigfoot encounters where the bigfoot was acting aggressively and/or chasing people. What made it worse was that as I watched the dvd I seemed to be right there experiencing the encounter first hand. I finally decided I needed company. I got my mom and had her start watching the dvd with me. After watching for a short time she told me that she wanted me to go around and lock all the doors. It was now nighttime and I could see dark trees outside the house. There suddenly seemed to be a whole lot of doors to lock. I finally got to the front door. It was suddenly double glass sliding doors like you have in grocery stores. I locked it, but then saw a man that needed to get through. I felt embarrassed and opened it back up so he could get in to the store that our house had now become.

I was in a room that was supposed to be very familiar. All these false memories rushed into my head about a past I had had in this room. I knew I was a demon slayer, but it had been a while since I had done it.

The dream is very fuzzy now, but I remember I was associating with a demon that looked like a person and I didn't want to kill him. I was upset that I had to kill him. I wondered if I really actually had to kill him.

I was in a room that looked a little like a hospital room. A friend of mine (who actually is in the hospital currently) was doing one of these extreme eating contests. In front of her on a tray was this huge hamburger that was about 2 feet across. I knew that she had to eat that in 6 hours to win this contest. It made me sick just thinking about stuffing that much food into one's stomach. I looked closer at the tray and saw that around the hamburger were all these little gravel like rocks. I then understood that she had to not only eat the hamburger, but the little rocks as well. I watched my friend scoop up a few of the rocks and put them in her mouth. I wondered how she could possibly eat them.

The next thing I know I am the one who is having to eat the rocks. I try again and again to swallow the little rocks. I manage to get a few down, but it is difficult and it is making me feel a little sick to my stomach.

Dream:

I went to the hospital for some stomach pains that I had been having. I found out that I had an incurable disease. It wasn't fatal, but I would have discomfort for the rest of my life, and I would have to be on medication. It made me depressed and angry. I had tried so hard to be healthy...but I was having to deal with this anyway.

Just remembered a dream from Wednesday morning.
It was one of those where you think you are getting up and doing what you need to do for the day.

Dream:

I "woke up" and got dressed and started driving out to Susan's. I made sure I had the address sitting by me in the car in case I forgot what she had told me over the phone. I was thankful that I was able to find the house without any problems. I went to the door. Susan informed me that the plans had changed and that we were going over to the other Susan's house to make the calls. She told me I could drive there with her since I wasn't sure how to get there from her house. We got to Susan's house and she had cinnamon rolls ready for us to eat. I started asking about how we were going to do the calls. She explained that we would all call and that whoever got ahold of the Grand Canyon Phantom Ranch Reservation Desk first would hand her the phone since she had all the info and prices ready. In a few minutes Marsha showed up. Something had told me she would make it after all so I wasn't surprised. So we all sat down and started to call....and call...and call....

And then I woke up and realized that I would have to do all that again. Little did I know that we had 2 full hours of phone calls ahead before we would get through.

This dream is a little fuzzy, but I want to get back into the habit of writing down all my dreams.

I was with a group of friends hiking. Our group had split into two. I was with a group that was going sooo slow. I was frustrated. I know the other group was going to see so much more stuff. We were back in a canyon that reminded me a little of Willow Gulch but drier. Finally I could see the other group ahead and I hurried to catch up with them.

It was the End of the World as we Know it, and I was with a group of people who were leaving to go to a safer place. I remember taking some books off my bookshelf to take with me and being grateful that at least we were ahead of the game. Most people wouldn't try to flee until things were really bad...and by then it would probably be too late. The people I was with and I ate at a small restaurant before we left. I was surprised that the electricity was still on and that there was still food. I felt a little guilty eating that food since I knew we had food stashed away where we were going, and that this food could have been for someone who had no other food. As we left I felt both excited and afraid off the changes that were taking place. I knew that most people had no idea of the gravity of this situation, and that things would be bad for them.

Dream 4:

I was hiking with friends. We came to this deep but fairly narrow chasm we had to cross. I remember being really stressed out and not sure if I would be able to do it or not.

Dream 2:

We had a pet giraffe in our backyard. When I went to pet it I saw that it had gotten ahold of a large wooden clothes pin and was starting to chew it up. I was afraid that it would choke on the metal part. But before I could get to it, it had swallowed the whole thing. But then I noticed that it had a baggie full of nails and screws in its mouth now. I hurried and climbed up a latter and started trying to pry the giraffes mouth open. I was worried that it would bite me, but I managed to get the bag out of its mouth.

I haven't recorded any dreams for a while. So I'll catch up with a few from the last couple days.

Dream 1 (DV Member Dream):

I was in college. It was getting really stormy. I was walking from class trying to get to my dorm. Oneironaut was there with me. He was my best friend and protector. He always made sure I got to where I was going safely. Finally we made it to my dorm. I gave him a hug and thanked him for always being there for me.

I went into my dorm. My roommate Kierra was there with me. It started to rain really hard. We looked out the window and could see the ocean right behind the building. The waves were starting to get huge. Our dorm building was about 20 stories tall and the waves were starting to crash over the top of the building. Every time a wave hit, we huddled as it smashed against the glass. We were so afraid the window would break and we would be washed away.

I was at this place that at first I thought was Disneyland because of the Tiki decorations. I wanted to take pictures of the different statues. But then I noticed this lady. I saw that she had bird seed and was putting it in feeders. I looked at this little box-cage that was attached to a pole. Inside was the tiniest little owl I had ever seen. I took some pictures, hoping they would turn out. (I remembered my last dream whare I had had some camera trouble.) I asked her what they fed that little owl. I knew mice would be too big. She pulled out an eye dropper full of this mushy stuff and squirted it in the owls mouth. She explained becasue the owl had hair near it's behind that this was the least messy way to feed it. (It made sense to me in the dream). Then I looked and saw all these other miniature animals. The one that really caught my eye was the tiny gorilla. It was in a box-like cage and was only about 4 inches tall. Again, I started taking pictures. Then I started taking pictures of these transparent blue lizards.

At some point I noticed that one of the lizards was loose. I scooped it up and put it back in what I thought was it's cage. But then I noticed other lizards in the cage. The one I put in there suddenly grabbed another lizard in its mouth and started to swallow it. I grabbed at the lizard to stop it. The shock from this woke me up.

Dream 1:

I was flying over a lake at night. Everything was so beautiful. I was skimming right over the surface of the water occasionally barely touching the water. I had my camera. I was trying to take pictures. I was trying to get the perfect shot of the moon peeking out behind a cliff...then this truck that was sitting in the shallow part of the water. But I was wearing gloves and I later found out that I was pushing the wrong place. My camera looked more like my mp3 player. I was frustrated because I had wanted all those cool shots. And then I was having trouble manuvering and was almost bumping in to rocks and other things poking out from the water. I also started getting more wet.

This is the kind of dream I would have while lucid. But in this case, there was never any lucidity.

The truck in this dream looked just like the one we hiked by two days ago.

Dream 1:

Jeff and I were at this place where they had all these babies. They were being raised without parents. A lady that worked there came to us with this baby and told us that she would help us smuggle the baby out.

So for the rest of the dream were were on the run with this little baby. I remember trying to look at a map. We were supposed to be in California, but the map looked like a different place. There were only a few main highways to choose from.

This dream was very long and involved, but I no longer remember the details.

Dream 2:

I was at a friend's wedding. I was supposed to do a musical number I was so confused at what was going on. We were supposed to be having a rehersal, but I had no idea when I was supposed to be doing the song. Then I was told the wedding was actually in this city a few hours drive away. The people wearing red dresses were going to be going together. I looked and saw that I was wearing green. No one had told me I should be wearing red. I had no idea where I was supposed to go or how I would get there.
