Caradon's Dream Journal

[Caradon]

This dream needs a little background information. There is a kid that is a Dream Views member. I don't think he has any idea who I am. His name is the gnome. I was looking at the post videos of yourself thread the other day.(It's really cool.) The gnome has some videos of himself juggling on there. And he is just awesome at it. you guys should check it out. Anyway, I do a little juggling myself. but I can only do a basic three ball juggling routine, in the standard way. I was thinking about sending him a PM, asking him if he can give me some tips on how to learn some new juggling tricks. Last night I had this crazy dream about it. Juggling tips I'm on Dream Views, and I send the gnome a PM, asking about new juggling tricks. He returns my PM, and tells me about this place I have to go to. I have to go to some temple and study with these Sand-script monks, if I want to learn to juggle better. So I go there, I just appear there in the dream. The place actually looks like an old abandoned subway station. dark tunnels and stuff. I tell the monks, I have come to train with them. There are these bricks laying all over the ground, and the tunnels are filled with them. One of the monks picks up two of the bricks. he smacks the corner of one brick, against the flat part of the second brick. And a beautiful musical note chimes out of it. The monk tells me that before I can learn the true art of juggling, I am going to have to spend the next two years of my life, learning to produce the musical notes out of these bricks. So I begin picking up bricks and smacking them together. At first I get nothing, but eventually I start to get notes out of them. And over a period of some time, I learn to get all different kinds of notes to ring out of the bricks. But then, I somehow discover this secret of the monks. If you ring the correct sequence of notes from the bricks. A giant sacred, worm from deep beneath the earth will be summoned.(the dream starts to take on a DUNE theme.) When a worm is summoned, you can collect some kind of sacred magic or something from it. If you don't die in the process that is.(In DUNE, the worms created the spice, which gave people all sorts of strange mind powers.) Next thing I know, I'm out on an open plain. It's kind of dark, there are a couple people with me. I'm not sure who they are. But I begin ringing the notes from the bricks, trying to summon a worm. Suddenly the ground begins to shake violently, like there is an earth quake. And I know a worm is coming. All of us are running around, not sure what to do, when The worm explodes straight up out of the earth. One of the people I'm with is swallowed whole. When the worm surfaces right below him. The worm is so huge, That as it continues rising from the earth, it is like this wide tower ascending into the sky. It's kind of scary. the length of the thing is seemingly endless. But eventually it crashes to the ground, and burrows back under. I don't remember doing it, but we had gotten what we needed from the worm somehow. And we need to make our escape back to an area where the worm can't burrow up and get us. A man appears with a map to some caves, which are solid stone. We should be safe there. We begin making our way in the direction the map indicates. When not far off, I see some things that look like shadow creatures. I realize that these shadow creatures are some kind of guardians of the sacred worm magic or something. And they have an animal like shape to them. I begin to run, and the shadow creatures begin howling, and give chase. It's a very eerie sound. I see a trail, that looks like a place near my house. I begin running down it when my alarm clock goes off. I push snooze. River bridge I fall back to sleep, and I find myself laying on this bridge over a river. I have a great view. The trees along the river are literally shimmering with a magical glow. And I'm so amazed at how the scene looks. I see a man floating down the river on an inner tube. He looks up and recognizes me. He calls my name and waves. I see this whirl pool in the river, and the man gets sucked into it. He gets pulled below the surface of the water. But a few feet farther down river, he pops up again. He is a little startled looking, but otherwise OK. Alarm goes off again. Todays WILD attempt I enter a public bathroom scene without Lucidity. I'm trying to hang my jacket on a hook. The hook is in a really strange abnormal place, and I'm having a hard time getting my jacket onto it. I wonder if that could be a dreamsign, and I do a reality check. The reality check wakes me up. Note: I have had nights, where I have had a hard time falling asleep because I kept doing reality checks as soon as I entered dream scenes. And it would wake me up every time. It's kind of annoying when that happens lol.

Great recall on the juggling dream. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Great imagery and great story to go with it. Cool.

Caradon I didn't know you were a juggler too. You should see if practicing in your dreams helps you IRL--Cusp's experiment.

Great recall on the juggling dream. I thoroughly enjoyed that. Great imagery and great story to go with it. Cool. Thanks raklet, I appreciate that. Pretty funny how dreaming Of reading a PM on DV turned into all that. My imagination gets pretty out of control sometimes. Caradon I didn't know you were a juggler too. You should see if practicing in your dreams helps you IRL--Cusp's experiment. That's a good idea, but first I need to learn the techniques to practice. I have no idea how to juggle more than three. But I'm confidant with a little practice, I could do more, if I understood how it's done. Today I was hoping to really focus on getting Lucid all day at work. But I only slept an hour and a half before I had to get up. And I had a really long day. It was hard to focus while being so tired. we'll see what happens tonight. Not much for dreams. Had a dream where I was camping and climbing some cool tree. And some fragmented work dreams. All I remember in my nap, is being at some fireworks show, and playing with bottle rockets. I'll get caught up on some journals tomorrow. I have a few things I have to do, before crashing out tonight.
