Thread: Burned up dreams

Fragments

Scan Plan - a website I wanted to create with scanned imaged and documents. [Now I think about it, this could be the next "you tube". ScanPlan - you know where you heard it first! ]

Pacman - All I recall from this cartoon-type dream was seeing a group of Pacman-like figures, which could equally have been some of the smileys I can see here ---->
(but will disappear when I click "Submit Reply")

Sharing space - we seem to have merged with another family and my children now have step-brothers and sisters.

Old or young - female DVers who I assumed were younger than me turned out to be much older. (Hmmmm - first dream of DVers)

I can't be bothered with interpretations. Nothing really to get my teeth into.

The domain name is currently occupied, but it looks like it may come available soon!

That collapsing bridge/hut trap was great.

Seems you get along famously with your oppressive powerful woman side if you were joking with Scary and then finished it off with a smack to the ass. Haha.

Hmmm, lots of internet and a few DV/smiley related dreams..hehe, I've had related ones like that too, though a bit different. Interesting family merging dream..I don't know if you could attribute meaning to that.

Ah, and yes..you deserve an interpretation break. :p

ha ha ha your first DV dream! good stuff mate

I hate nights when we only have fragments its very annoying

Yes, I could think of many women I'd rather have that encounter with before Scary.

LOL, well I wouldn't know what to do with it. Happy to license the idea to someone who does, though

And a recall break. I really couldn't be bothered this morning.

Yeah, 4 fragments. What use is that? One half-decent dream would have been much better.

But as bro says, perhaps I need a break.

All right! That's a start! Of something!

Bu, you know if you hit that quote button with the two plus signs, that you can quote more than one person so you don't have to post twice? Not a criticism, I just didn't know that for a while so I thought you might want to know.

I've been wondering how to do that. I've experimented with that button and couldn't make it do anything useful for me (story of my life). I wondered who would be the first to give me advice on this

PS Thanks

Building a house and a strange clock

My dreammaker must have read my formal complaint in my dream journal so here's one long one for y'all

I'm in a house which is in bad repair. Some of us are responsible for re-building it. (All men). I was sleeping there on a mattress on the floor.

Next I was in a large warehouse type of store like B&Q but didn't buy anything. I knew I could get bargains next door so went next door and started looking around. Then i realised that this was part of the same store and I could have got to it through the opening that the fork-lift trucks use for stacking the shelves.

I was now back on the street and seemed to have bought some camping gear, presumably for staying at the ruined house. I was sitting at the corner which was a bit like a crossroads near my home. I could see an old house used as an office for a financial company. i was waiting for someone to come by. Don't know who. I saw an old colleague D go in followed by a woman (not unusual for him) and some others. It was like the house in my dream a few days ago where I was working on contract. My old boss walks by and ignores me, because I was sitting on the path with camping gear like a vagrant I thought (and he's a bmw driver).

I now return to the house. They're about to have a meal and I walk down a narrow hallway, dark and crunchy underfoot with the rubble. I see mattresses on the floor and notice I'd put mine in an alcove so I'm a bit separate from everyone else. The meal is about to start and I sit next on one side, next to the head of the table. I didn't recognise the person at the head but opposite me was my old boss who walked past me earlier. The meal was just a small portion of pasta. The person at the head was showing a model of the finished house.

(scene change)

The model now becomes a clock. It wasn't a clock of much use as the timing was strange, with seconds passing quickly and slowly. There were four characters living in the clock who came out like cuckoos on the hour. One was a ghost (like Caspar) and another was a fat pirate-type person. I don't know if I knew the other two. They lived in the clock and fed off battery power!

Well it's nice to see my male DCs doing something useful. So they've decided to re-build a house. That's better than not being able to defend a bridge and not knowing how to play football. (Recent dreams). They're doing it in a very sterotypical male way, with committee meetings and detailed plans. But that's OK.

My trip to B&Q showed how I can't make my mind up. Rather than being pragmatic and just getting something from the shop I go next door and look instead. IRL I am no pragmatist you see. I think the contents of the shop is like different choices or decisions for me.

What's my old boss doing here? I wish he wasn't. He's a smart guy and very charismatic. Perhaps I need someone like that around (i.e. I need to be like that) if I'm going to get this house built.

Oh, yes. The house. Well, it's a kind of container for me. And it's not in good condition yet has great potential. The dream suggests I need to "rebuild my house" with skills from all different sorts of people. The old boss, the designer etc. Sounds like I need to take a more holistic attitude to myself if I'm going to feel more secure in life. I need to get these male DCs working again. I can be a designer. I can be a boss.

I like the way I placed my mattress away from the others. Like, I want my own space. I've always been a bit like that. I feel secure with walls around me like that, so I can't be attacked from all sides. It's my paranoia coming out again I think.

The last bit was more surreal, even for a dream. It's not the first time I've dreamed of 4 mystical characters. There were 4 faces on a black square once. And another which escapes me. This lot seemed a bit friendlier than the others but still rather suspicious. Battery powered and all that!

So much in this dream, so little time to interpret. Back later...

If it happens it happens. I'm enjoying the forum too much just now but I also know my personality. I'll not feel like it sooner or later.

I've been cutting& pasting the quote tags when I can be bothered (like now). Or just replying one-by-one when I can't.

Yes, a nice change. I'm about to edit the post, which makes the forum look like a time-warp I think.

I have this Pratchett-esque idea of a little goblin or something making dreams for me out of random unconscious thoughts. I said yesterday I wanten one long dream not lots of short ones. And the wee goblin must have heard me!

thats great man! I really like the idea of something forming your dreams....makes things a little easier to grasp and influence if you have something to direct your intentions to...nice one man

ha man I love this bit! I totally get what you mean, I like my own space to so im totally with you on that and I guess the paranoia to lol

I agree...that does sound like a good idea. Your "dreamMaker".

I think of my mind like that from time to time but never quite to that extent. I think as opposed to some of the other dreams you mentioned, you'd be able to draw more symbolism from this, and it seems you have...boss shunning you, perhaps a collapsing house as a metaphor for something...Hehe, a "formal complaint". I'm going to try that...perhaps it can help incubate a dream.

Oh, I forgot the key part of the multi-quote. Hit the ++ buttons in all the posts that you want to quote, then hit the "Add Reply" button. Then they all come up together in one post.

Thanks Moonbeam! You just helped me as well...Honestly could never figure out how to use that function properly.

OK I'll try it next time....

All Greek to me

I was in a field that was also the border with Greece (my dream-maker has crap geography!). There were lots of young people and traveling types around. To get across the border I needed to hand over a document, which seemed to be my course work.

Next I was back in my car. Others were there too, some of the people from the field. My car must be the size of a portakabin by now. I was sitting between the front seats evacuating my bowel onto a piece of paper (don't think it was the document from earlier). I wasn't concerned about what the others would think, so long as I kept it on the paper!

Later, probably a separate dream or even one from long ago that had come to recall, I was on a bus needing to get from a house high on the edge of a city back home. This meant changing from one but to another at a point where the two routes met. The bus numbers I think were 7 and 13.

I think the first part of the dream relates to my course where there are some Greek students who fascinate me for some reason. The course work and the fact that they are young (as these are) add weight to that theory. Internally these young people must be my "inner student" as it were and perhaps I feel that Greek students are smarter???

The second part is rather disgusting. I was wanting rid of something and it wasn't a very nice something. Some of the shit I carry around with me, presumably. I want to be like these young people, without a care.

The bus bit is a bit vague. The number 7 comes up again but why 13? Well, the bus routes were in a kind of Y shape, symmetrical, and I was changing from one part of the Y to the other at the junction. Wondering of the point where 7 and 13 meet is 10??? That was the age I moved from one part of the country to another. Anyhow, dream maths can be over-done but it's an intriguing logic.

Run for home, with a cameo role by Dom de Luise

I had the name of the actor Dom de Luise hanging around this dream and I don't know why. I never saw him in the dream.

Also at the start of the dream there was a cartoon-like scene with some mice and maybe a cat.

Anyway, the predatory scene becomes a field with either Germans or Italians trying to hunt me. The field was long grass and an old building seemed to be the place where the pursuers were coming from. I managed to hide behind tank traps or other concrete block things and eventually made it over a low wall into the next field.

This next field was like a large version of my parents' garden. A garden party was going on. I didn't feel like mingling and I sat on a garden bench with my back to the house and most of the people feeling perhaps a little unkempt. I noticed I was wearing a t shirt with a design on it and a kilt. I then introduced myself to an older random woman.

It's a long time since I've been chased in a dream. This was a bit half-hearted as I didn't even see anyone coming after me so it could have just been an urge to get out of the field for some reason. It seems to be about getting away from foreign surroundings to home surroundings but then not really fitting in either.

Wtf was Dom de Luise doing?

Your peice of interpretation of the previous dream about "vacating your bowel" I actually agree with. The fact that you wanted know baggage perhaps. Well done with that.

Also in the second dream I can relate a bit...not fitting in even at home, feeling out of place even after getting out of more frightening, unfamiliar surroundings...Perhaps having to do with isolation? or separating oneself from others? That's what I'd assume for me..for you it could be far different, or similar.

PS- I'm still fascinated by this dream-maker...nice little concept

PS #2- I have no idea why that Dom De Luise man actor was on your mind.

good dreams there mate, I like the part about Greece lol I laughed at your comment about geography ha ha

that party sounds mad, any idea why you never wanted to join in?

err not meaning to be stupid by who is Dom De Luise?

I think he's been dead for quite a while....I probably would have never thought about him again!

I have no idea what he might symbolize, other than a goofy, over-weight, Burt Reynolds side-kick.
