ah no shame about her father It sounds like things could be bad. dont answer if you dont wish but do you mind if I ask what is wrong?

I bet everyone is happy she is coming home then

Hehe, real life still comes first

For the 2 in the middle you'd hardly know anything has happened!

You have FOUR (I always thought you had 2)

I think so. Her father is basically suffering from old age. He can't fight infections and it seems to be spreading to bits of body I've never heard of.

Hey yesterday you fancied a man - what's your problem now?

My wife's father died last night so we're all on a mix of emotions. My daughters are oscillating between tears and high activity. I've been sad but generally OK. My wife has been down in England all week so I can only guess what it's like for her. I feel more tired than anything.

Stuff in church

It's an afternoon service - a new idea - and I'm helping D ( a priest and friend) with the proceedings. On cue, I have to take in this large red and gold prayer book. I'm dressed in a white cloak thing and I walk in reverently holding the red and gold book ceremoniously in front of me. I feel a bit of a prat because there's hardly anyone attending and I'm doing all this stuff. At the back there's a chapel and I see another priest, G, there and so is either my wife or yet another priest I know with the same name (no recall here - just my notes).

Now I'm waiting for people to arrive for a church trip I have organised. A couple of couples arrive and I start thinking that it might just happen. Then the H family arrive in their entirety and I know we have critical mass and feeling much relieved.

Fragments

- It's dark and I'm walking on a snowy slope just off of the road. I think it is good enough to ski on.

- A little girl has a trauma about going to the dentist

I haven't had a church dream for a while. If it's my spiritual place then why was I feeling so awkward? Maybe it's about me realising that it's not about what I do, it's how I am spiritually that makes the difference.

The bit about the trip is a similar anxiety to being late for school, arriving at an exam without preparing for it, or arriving at an airport without tickets and passport.

Nothing. Not even a caterpillar.

sounds like a good interpretation to me, I was thinking whilst reading that that maybe you dont like the fakeness (sorry cant think of a better word, no offence intended) of the preformance but would rather get straight to the point. Just woundering if maybe this applies to more then the spiritual side of your life?

That was OK actually. It was after that, watching their emotions swing from one extreme to another, that kept me on my toes.

Yes, that sums it up pretty well. For me I'd rather "be spiritual" than "do spiritual". But I know others like communal spiritual activities like church services with all the theatricals. That's what I'm used to too but for me it's more a way of being part of something than believing that there's anything special in the service itself.

Mealtime for child

A little girl - probably my 2yo niece - was eating her tea at the next table. Hew parents or grandparents were encouraging her to finish although she'd really had enough. Then a sticky bun appears and they were about to tell her she hadn't room for it. I protested on her behalf and she took it.

Fat student

I've met 2 students in passing. One disappears from the scene but I walk along the street with the other. She's wearing a black top and is short and fat in a cuddly sort of way. She seems nice but I didn't fancy her. I notice the strap of a bag she was carrying was stretched across her left breast making it bulge towards the top! I then noticed my own was doing the same (me with breasts again ) but I enjoyed feeling it. We went into a cafe.

Something about a 10 year cycle and a 12 year cycle (possibly a political thing???).

I woke at around 5am (guess) with a couple of fragments and thought "not again". I tried to start a WILD but fell asleep as usual. Then I dreamed this jolly lot.

Airport (with some lucid sex)

I'm with the family in the departure lounge of a tiny airport. There were only the 50-odd passengers for our flight there and we were early. It was dark. Then the nose of an aircraft appears into view - must have just landed. People walk to the door and the stewardess is there waiting to take boarding cards. I see my family at the front of the queue but they haven't got my bag with the tickets so I run to get it.

As I run I realise I don't have the passports with me and there's no time to go back home and get them. At that point I become lucid and decide "sod this, this is my dream and the passports are just going to have to be there". They were. I grab the bag and a take out a handful of scrappy papers that will have to do as tickets and hand them to the stewardess who accepts them as valid! Feeling really powerful and a little worried that the lucidity will finish I think what to do next. Right. Shag the stewardess. She's standing in front of me and not looking especially attractive but as I look down to her (I'm quite tall anyway) her features look more delicate and fair. She is younger than me and has short fair hair and a pale complexion (like my dream girl). She smiles at me and I bend to kiss her. She meets my kiss and I move my body close to hers. Behind her are a row of airport seats so they're like a long soft bench. I move her backwards onto the seats and quickly make love, with a fairly decent orgasm too. Probably coinciding with the lucidity finishing I fall asleep.

(FA) When I wake I'm in a bed I don't recognise. I see two of my daughters sneaking about in the dark. One of them (E) giggles and I hear the word "prick" and I assume she's referring to me. The girls leave. Then my mother comes in the room. She looks younger, like I remember her as a child. She demands "Where do you think those girls are going?". "Costa Coffee?" I reply. She rattles on about them being allowed out in the dark. I'm angry that she woke me (she didn't, though) rather than just dealing with the situation.

I wonder how my youngest got to bed as I don't remember anything about the previous night!

Further studies

I'm in a physics department of a university having signed up to do a postgrad course. There are lots of younger students around. The professor is drawing something on a blackboard. It was just a few squiggly lines but the end result was something very 3D. Cool. I'm wondering why I signed up for this course as I'm so busy anyway.

It's now lunch break and I head out, knowing that I'll never find my way back in again. When it's time to go in I decide I'll just loiter outside and wait for someone I recognise and follow them.

Now I'm following a student home along a road in the dark. She's small and possibly Chinese (I know some students irl which fit this description). She's using a torch on her mobile phone to see the way. I'm speaking to someone on mine. I'm trying to catch her up but finding it hard.

Now I'm turning a sharp corner which becomes a turn in a wide spiral staircase. As I go past a shelf I see that the steps/floor is rather messy with what looks like playing pieces from games. My father is tidying them away back onto the shelf. I knock some more onto the floor and he's a bit annoyed but I stay and help him tidy the rest away.

The lucidity was a nice surprise. Regular readers will know I don't get lucid often and it's been too long since I've had a sex dream. So :bravo: to last night! Interesting that the signal was forgetting passports. Each time I worry I've forgotten something I should try a RC. (Didn't bother in the dream - too eager to get going!).

The last dream showed a typical side to me. I'm waiting for someone to follow rather than taking the initiative myself.

If all I had were the first two dreams, the second (fat student) would have probably been quite significant. But it seems like ages ago. And the last dream too featured a student. Why can't I get closer to these people?

Well perhaps but I could do without any more train dreams.

I've waited months for that dream. It was like "at last - now go for it" when it happened. Hopefully sooner rather than later for the next one.

Originally Posted by mark

Yes maybe. Also it's not like I'm in a position for a relationship. Doesn't stop me wanting one though. is 20 years or more too much of a difference?

Originally Posted by Burned up

true lol did you see Sara's DJ she had a train ticket for 12 hours lol now thats a train dream lol

fingers crossed mate, maybe its like lucidity once you have it they come more and more frequently lol

Well when it comes to age I think it depends on the person you would want a relationship with. I think maybe it depends on how similar you are...age does not play a factor until people are fairly old

"E is for Emerson Lake and Palmer, dream boy, dream
"F is for fu....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz z...

Sounds like my WILD's. But mine are more like, "One, I'm dreaming; Two, I'm dreaming; Three-ZZZZZZZZ.

I hope things are settling down at your house.

Back to normal

- Edinburgh Wolverhampton Wanderers

- Cutting through bicycle lock chains which have been left along the street

- A large fluffy cat

Woooh, just a quick reply here, cause a lot happened I see!

First, I'm sorry to hear about your wife's father. Can imagine the sad feelings in your family now

Second, congrats on the lucid! AND the sex Great, you knew how to use a lucid to your best interests!

Funny, you mention you are quite tall. I pictured you a little 'smaller' than average. Don't know why...

Thanks Sara.
I'm just under 6 feet tall, which in Euros converts to about 1m80.

Just a normal day here for the time of year.

Skye girls

I'm in an electric car like a golf buggy with others (or are thy like multiple "me"s?) and pushing this screwed up piece of silver paper around the roads of Skye with a stick or something. I get to a shop and there's a picture of a younger version of Alex Salmond on the wall. I'm now in the checkout queue buying two AA batteries. I look round and the cleaner has just swept up my screwed up piece of paper

There's a tall dark-haired woman who I know to be an estate agent. She looks like Kate Beckinsale. I was meeting her for some reason and she works in the office where I used to work. I feel I've seen her before - possibly in a dream a long time ago. No physical or emotional attraction however.

Somewhere about now my usual dream girl (tall, thin, short blonde hair) appears but I have no recall of the detail.

Now I go into this small room and there are children and young people there. They're all male although a young girl (I'd guess her age was about 10) sits with her back to me. I sit behind her and cuddle her from behind, I feel her warm skin and it's like she has no clothes on.

We're now on a bus. The girl is still there. I think. I look out of the window and see some unexpected architecture. There are prefabricated units which slot into an external frame to make small apartment blocks. There are also some narrower "towers" which are garden huts, making a kind of 3d mini-townscape. I think what a brilliant idea. (Another good dream invention).

More random dream stuff

I'm at a 5km race but not running myself. At the end I see RS after he'd finished the race. He's a friend from uni but in the dream he now has a bald head! There's a TV in the room and my 2yo nephew W is there wanting to watch it but his parents want him to go. (They're a no-TV family).

I'm going into a shop which could also be a small hotel. To get in I find my way blocked with a counter I didn't expect to see. There's a gap where a cupboard should be so I squeeze through it but get stuck. I call for help and some half-hearted help appears but I manage to pull through. I am aware I am half naked now (the bottom half ) and I'm talking to a woman as if nothing particularly different was going on. I have my pyjamas in a bag.

I now go into the next room. It's dark and there's a large bed there. I get into the bed, joining my old (male) school friend K and my (female) counselling friend S (who I cuddled on a sofa in a dream a few weeks ago).

Weird.

nice with the female colleague

Daughter gone missing

We're at an airport. My daughter C said she was going to "a secret place". We're ready to get the flight but she had gone. We shout her name. We hear her voice in the distance, like it's coming through from another dimension, but no more.

A big dog like a bloodhound appears on the scene. We ask it to try and find her.

Now it's the following morning and we're worried. I have the feeling of loss. She's gone and we won't see her again.

Empathic friend

I'm in a room with my (male) friend B. He's being all very understanding about me - perhaps too much. But I lap it up and feel safe with his concern, like it's a chance to not feel OK.

I now notice the time. It's 1pm and I reckon I need to get back to work. Can't make my mind up whether to stay or go.

Chicken tonight

I'm in a restaurant with my wife. A waiter R who we knew from a family owned Italian restaurant was serving us. He brought me a whole chicken covered with a red sauce that looked more Indian than Italian. I don't really eat much chicken and would not normally order it and now I have a whole bird in front of me. My wife says that next time we need only order one between us.

Outside the office

There's a sculpture at the front door to the office. It's an animal - possibly a prancing horse - and I'm looking at it with a young woman who is very brainy. I see it has a button on it which I press and it starts to move. As it moves back it knocks my colleague/manager D in the balls . Also a pot of "Marigold" stock falls on someone's head.

Sorry to hear about your Father-In-Law. Best Wishes.

Great job on that airport bit. Makes me a bit angry that you don't even try for lucidity and you have great lucids, yet I bust my butt for it and it never happens!


How come your most recent dreams don't have any interpretations to them? I like that as much as the dreams themselves.

You had some pretty crazy dreams :-)

I dunno, but that sounds like your brain processing someone's death. Gone to another dimension...

Haha, sounds like a typical chinese serving: always WAY too much for 1 person...

You have anything against this person IRL?

@Raklet: I think Bu's interpretation is still on the train in France
