non-lucid

Already seeing significant improvements in my dream recall. Determination and sticking to my various mantras seems to be paramount. The difference between today and yesterday is staggering. I must keep this up.

–Myself and five other people were sitting at a table, at work. Though it strongly resembled one of those heavy wooden tables you’d have sat at back in school. For some reason that I can’t recall, we weren’t able to work. At some point we couldn’t talk either. I remember someone quietly made the joke that maybe we should pass notes, and soon thereafter Miranda actually passed me one. She claimed to understand me and to know what it’s like to feel the things that I feel, and told me that I’m not alone in all of that. Essentially is was a note implying her as a kindred spirit to me. I was attempting to write her a note back when I awoke from the dream. For whatever reason, my writing was terrible in the dream. To the point of almost being unreadable. I made several mistakes as well and had to scribble out a big spot on the page, and I remember at one point while writing I came to a part of the page that had been scribbled out and I hadn’t even done it.

–(Flash) A skull wreathe, like the kind of wreathe you hang on your door at Christmas. But it was a circular formation of skulls instead of the usual green thing.

–Road work happening near Amy and Andy’s house. Remember it happening near Dunkin’s Market (where it intersects the highway) specifically. Perhaps near Superama too. A large group of monkeys called Orathrapods (as identified by a worker I was speaking to once while stopped) was assisting in the construction. The air was very heavy and dusty with cement powder, which I remember seeing in large amounts laying in quite a few places about the scene. At first the worker identified them as some sort of plant before correcting himself and labeling them as monkeys. Perhaps the name Orathrapod was actually the plant name he give me before the correction? Don’t remember for sure. Would have been a GREAT time to say “this shit isn’t normal” and perform a reality check. Need more practice to make that a habit. This dream occurred while under the influence of one sleeping pill.

Work On:
–Work seems to be a reoccuring theme. Reality check often at work (especially in the back room).
–More reality checks when things seem strange.
