Yellowbench's Dream Journal.

Lucid|Non-Lucid|Side-Notes/Awake

So, I haven't had any recallable dreams for the past few days, this might be due to stress and being over-tired, and finals week... I don't want to stop recording dreams though, so I decided to record my favorite dream that was in one of my old hand-written dream journals. Also one of my first lucid segments. This is a short dream, but is the most vivid I remember.

[Dream 1]
I am in a hall, in a huge mansion-looking building. The halls look rich, and decorative but abandoned. I am with a tall african-american man and his son, I think these people are my friends, and I am walking down the halls with them. The son, is about 8 years old, and they are both dressed in rags and are very poor looking. We walk up to a large window with a balcony outside. There are seven full moons in the sky in the shape of an arch. We walk away and the man falls to the ground and starts having convulsions. His stomach is thrashing in and out. Me and the boy are stunned and the boy starts having the convulsions as well. They are both on the ground and I am standing above them.
The feeling of relief you get when you realize your nightmare isn't reality swept over me. However the dream did not stop, and fell to the ground as well and started having the same spasms in my stomach. I wake up and I am sweating and my heart is racing. I am still a little delirious from the dream and I have to take a walk to wear it off. This dream was bizarre to me because the nightmare did not end, even when I realized it was a dream, and also the 7 moons still haunt me and I still wonder what they are symbols for. Joseph's dreams in the bible, the number 7 is repeated multiple times, and represents 7 years. Dreammoods.com says "A full moon signifies completion and wholeness, while a new moon symbolizes new beginnings." But this contradicts the general mood of my dream.
