Thread: Clairity.. Perchance to Dream

Yay Adam.. you're so smart!! Thanks!!

Well, you know....

Congratulations on another successful weekend of wilding!
It's great how you can just say what you want, and it there it is.

I like the pictures too.

Well this will be the last dream entry until Sunday 9/2 since I will be out of town until then.. so why wouldn't it be a weird one?? LOL!!

Below is my non-lucid dream from this morning:

It starts out that I am outside trying to catch "something" in an old fashioned homemade trap. The trap was made from a simple box and you used a stick to prop the box up until what you were after went inside and then you snatched the stick away.

Once the trap had been set, I went back inside and into a bedroom which I'm assuming is mine but that I don't recognize in real life. I go to the dresser and pick up some earrings. They are made up of three one inch long strands (one is gold, one is silver and the other is rose gold).

Once the earrings are on I notice that there is a matching necklace and I put that on as well.

I walk over and sit on the bed when a girl I don't know (but who's lookin' might butch) sits down next to me on my left side.

She begins to look at me closely and I start to feel a little uncomfortable.

She reaches out.. first touching the earrings and then softly strokes my hair!

I'm sitting there debating what I should do when she reaches around and kisses me on the mouth.

I don't like it but for some reason I don't stop her.. I think I'm afraid to. She pushes me down on the bed and kisses me again. I start to resist when something distracts her.. I can't remember what exactly but she stops, gets up off the bed and walks towards the door.

Then my alarm goes off..

(Talk about being saved by the bell!)

I actually tried to catch a mouse in a trap like that once, when I was a teenager. It didn't work of course, but it was fun trying. Was bored that day I guess.

Have a good time on your trip!

Below is a strange/disturbing dream I had:

I am at home and my dog is electricuted.

I believe she is dead but I cut slits into both her sides to make sure. To my horror she takes a short breath and I realize that she is still alive. I start to see her chest move as she breathes and her intestines start to push out thru the slits.

I yell to my dad that we have to go to the vet that the dog is still alive but no one seems to be concerned about her condition or that she may be suffering (maybe because she doesn't make a sound or movement).

My dad, mother and younger sister get into the van and drive to the vet. We stop for some reason that I can't remember and my sister and my mom get out and my dad and I get back in the van to continue to drive the dog to the vet.

I decide to tell my dad that I cut the dog maybe because I think it will ease my conscience. My dad looks at me in horror and then disgust. He acts like he won't drive me to the vet and I start to cry and panic begging him to take us.. that the dog is dying. He doesn't seem to care so I told him that I will sign over thousands of dollars worth of bonds and I pull the bonds out. He watches me sign and we start to drive.

My oldest sister appears and she accidently steps on the dog's leg. I am horrified but the dog starts to walk away from us. It's strange as it appears to be walking on two legs like a man. The dog's hind leg appears bent and misshapen. I run up behind him and it looks like his intestines and other organs are hanging from his sides. My older sister and I scream but it turns out that the dog (who now looks like my son) is simply holding a bag of treats.

The dog/my son appears to be getting stronger with every step. I ask him "are you ok?" and he said "yes, but my leg hurts."

Then the dream ends.

I had trouble falling asleep last night..

It's funny but I don't want to take an ambien (sleeping pill) as I'm afraid it will interfer with my dream recall.. the quality of my nights have now become more important than the quality of my days!

That was a very disturbing dream! I'm sure I've had similar dreams about my cat... I bet you were quite happy to wake up and realize it was all a dream that morning!

I didn't sleep well last night either.. I was planning on doing WBTB + WILD but only had about 5 hours total to sleep. I then took a nap earlier today and nearly missed my class because of it!

I hate having dog nightmares! I get them about my dog too. I think that they are the worst nightmares ever.

It's interesting how your dog turned into your son. My dog has also turned into a child a few times in my dreams. I imagine, it's because our dogs are as important to us as if they were our children. I know mine is at least. (I don't have any children besides the dog.)

Very valid point about dogs and their importance to us. They're almost like having a child as they're so dependent on us for everything.. much like a child (except when you get need a break.. you can always kennel your dog)!

Wait a minute!! Kennels for dogs.. playpens for kids!

Every now and then I have one of those "lost in school" dreams like the one below:

I am at a school/university. I have a notebook but am missing my schedule. I get in line with the other students to get my class schedule.

I go to my room and discover that it is a double and is VERY small. There are also two large bags of dogfood there. My roommate asked me if I wanted something to drink and gave me red wine.

I went back to the office to get my locker information. I pull a tab from the machine and it has a three digit number on it. I wonder if the number is my locker number. I looked up and could see the people in line on a tv screen.

Class started but my schedule was still in my locker which I couldn't find. I was late and the hall monitor wrote me up. I tried to explain about not being able to find my schedule hoping that the hall monitor would excuse my lateness but she didn't seem to care.

Ok.. this is gross but hey.. I dreamt it so I logs it!

I had various fragments of other things but I recall vividly looking at my left cheek and seeing this Mount Vesuvius of a pimple! I must have been looking at one of those mirrors that magnifies your image cuz all I can see is my cheek and this zit!

I squeeze the pimple with my forefingers and a little white gunk comes up but then it quickly fills up again.. only bigger.

I once again squeeze and this time not only does white gunk come out but a hard single piece of gunk comes out as well and the pimple immediately flattens and is gone.

I woke up from this dream feeling oddly satisfied and happy, though now as I write about it.. I feel oddly.. nauseous.

NOTE: For the record.. I have a pimple-free complexion thank you very much.

Squeezing a nice ripe one can be very satisfying. But you gave way too much detail. Ugh...

Okay I am eating dinner, really should have stopped at this is gross...

LOL!! Isn't it amazing how just two sentences can be too much detail!

Hey.. ya can't say I didn't warn ya!

LOL, I thought it was funny.

Dream 1:

I find myself in what I assume is my bedroom. I am making my bed when a man who has always been kind to me comes into the room and talks me into going to breakfast with the others in the "group".

I am a loner and it appears that I belong to this group of fathers and sons but I don't really like them and I rarely interact with them.

I reluctantly head towards his car and get in the front seat. I notice that there is no front window.. no glass.. just a wall and I wonder how he can drive like that and I simply dismiss it and assume that he uses the car's side mirrors. (I could kick myself for not becoming lucid at this point).

A man and his son walk up to the car and the son states that he doesn't want to go as he had just been inside badmouthing the club. The boy is slender, blonde and about 9 years old. For some reason, if this dad and his son don't go.. neither will we. I tell the boy that no one knows what he said and he replies that they do. I tell him that he should go anyway, that he's young and he's allowed to change his mind. I also tell him, "Don't let anyone stop you from doing what you truly want to do.. not even you."

The son agrees but says that he has to go back inside to get something. The 2 men and the boy go back inside leaving me in the car. I get out of the car and suddenly there are two other girls with me waiting.

I decide to get back in the car and the front passenger door is open but I don't feel comfortable sitting up front now so I start to get in back. One of the girls calls "backseat passenger shotgun" and also gets in back.

After sitting in the car awhile, I get out and go back in the building to find them.

The 2 men are upstairs in a cafe/bar sitting at a small round table. I realize that the dad and his son are "holograms" and that in this reality, there are two groups of beings.. those that are "flesh" and those that are "holograms".

The dad points to a pretty "flesh" girl and tells the other guy that his son is interested in her and not in any "hologram" girls. The dad decides for "his son's sake" that he is going to hit on the "flesh" girl to show him that she is not worthy of him. I see he and the girl leaning in close and talking.

I leave the room and am going down the stairs when I see the son who is now about 14 (?) coming up them. I try to distract/delay him as I don't want him to see his dad with his crush but he keeps walking up the stairs while we're talking.

I suddenly wake up as though I already know how this is going to end and I don't want to see the boy hurt.

Dream 2:

I fall back asleep and I am back in the same dream, with the same group, only it is years later and the boy is now angry and disrespectful to everyone.. probably due to his relationship with his dad. He also has major problems with my son (?). In this dream not only do I have a son but I am now male.

I tell the boy that the three of us (he, my son and I) need to talk about what's bothering him cuz I have the feeling that my son doesn't know either and that.. daddy or no daddy.. if he doesn't stop going after my son.. I'm going to handle him. I begin advancing on the boy who is now about 17 years old.

This is when I realize that I am continuing the same dream and I instantly wake up.

I just noticed that dream you had about your poor doggy. I had read it before, but I really related to it this time. Probably because of that kid I saw get hit by the bus. I was worried at first I was going to find something like in your dog dream, and I wouldn't know what to do in a situation like that.

I'll bet you were extra nice to your dog the day after having that dream!

Very much so!!

Keep those dreams alive Clairity x

Adam, this is so cool! Thank you!

I am in the ranch style home that I grew up in but now it's larger, longer, has two stories and rooms that I don't recognize.

I am a participant in a game of "hide and seek" but somehow I know that losing in this game would not result in something "pleasant" happening.

We are on teams of two and the rules are that you can only travel from place to place via an open or unlocked door or an open or unlocked window.

Sadly I get the impression that my teammate doesn't seem to grasp the importance nor the urgency of this game.

She and I go through a door into the long living room which leads to the old bedroom that I shared with my sister growing up.. and I lock the door behind us with the following safety lock:

(I have this safety lock in real life so this struck me as perfectly normal.)

I no sooner get the lock in place when the wall next to the door disappears and in it's place are dividers.

To my teammate's and my horror, we discover that one of the pylons is not bolted to the floor so therefore the barrier is passable.

I tell my teammate that we have to make a run across the vast livingroom to the door which leads upstairs.

As we run for the door, we see that "mom" (?) has spotted us and my teammate freaks and yells that we have to go back.

Immediately I turn and run back but I only get halfway when I see that she has gone on through the door and up the stairs!!

I run the rest of the way back and lock myself into another one of the bedrooms even though I know it's just a matter of time before someone gets in.

I hear my teammate outside the door pleading with me saying that she is sorry that she ran, etc... and I wake up.

This dream was frightening in that this "game" was a sinister blending of "tag" and "hide and seek".

I didn't know what we'd win.. or what would happen if we lost.

It was just a game.. only not.

It sounds like a good adventure dream, even though a little scary.

I just can't picture tag and hide and seek as being sinister.
