Thread: Anahata's Svapnas (Calla's Dreams)

I have decided to make a serious effort in attaining lucidity and can admit that I haven't as of yet. Obviously the first place to start, well for me at least, is improving my dream recall and awareness in general. Since joining DV I have, as a general statement, remembered my dreams, at least in part, almost every night. But I have not been writing them down, and by the end of the day, cannot remember a shread of information from them. I must start recording these valuable tools of insight. Forming a habit and routinely performing it does not come easily to me, and this will take serious dedication. But I am ready...........

I decided to sleep with a small light on last night to aid in my ability to write, should I wake in the middle of the night after a dream. I have read posts about handwriting being illegible upon waking in the morning, and thought this might help. Anway, I did waken after dreaming in the night, but strangely the light was turned out. This confuses me because I live alone, well with my son but he couldn't do because he is in a crib still.... anyway, this is the dream I recorded.


Alex and I go to a big city.. but I am harldy ever with him. I spend most of the time with these two girls, in what appears to be their dorms rooms. We are getting ready for an event, which mainly was just a lot of running between rooms changing clothes and looking for something to wear. At one point I remember going into a room and turning on a light switch, but the room stayed dark. Only now as I am typing this am I realizing this was probably the first dreamsign, which I failed to recognize. Actually, I instead looked outside the room and appeared a janitor/maintance man that I asked for a light bulb.

The event we are preparing for seems to be one that I am directing because I am now standing on a ladder with Mike, and we are hanging decorations. Now that I think about it, we were either both on the same ladder or he was floating.. either/or, this is another dreamsign that went right by me. Anyway, we are decorating a window in front of a table of my classmates, some from college others from high school. Melissa, a girl from last semester, asks me if her and someone else can sing the song they told me about. I use sign language to tell her "remember that the other girls have been practicing and practicing, and it wouldn't be fair to not let them perform". She rolls her eyes at me but says okay.

The scene changes to a courtyard, it is a place I know I have either seen in a movie or been to in real life, for it is strikingly familiar to me now in waking, though it wasn't at the time of the dream. I am now wearing an old fashion dress.. one that you would wear the thing underneath of to make it poof out really big. I think it is part of the costume for the before mentioned event, because someone passes saying they will get me the part for my skirt (I have no idea what that is called, it is like a slip, only has rings around in that shape your dress like a giant cone...). Anyway, I standing there with Clint. He hugs me and tells me that the moment he saw me get off the elevator he was attracted to me because of the way my hair looked like it had antibiotic in it, (third dream sign, antibiotic in my hair?) We kissed slightly and I told him no, saying I couldn't cheat on Alex. He responded that I wasn't cheating on him I was lying to him.... As we kiss I open my eyes and see Alex walking through the courtyard. He does not see Clint and I and we have time to act natural as if we weren't kissing. He walks over and within a second or two of his standing there, Jon comes from behind me and grabs my left breast. He says nothing, just feels it for a second and walks away. Alex just laughs.

My fourth dreamsign appeared when Chris Rock ( I have no idea why him lol) came walking up, and diverted attention to himself by saying something that I cannot recall..... I think I either realized I was dreaming at this point, and woke up, or this is where the dream naturally ended.....


For anyone reading that cares:
Alex - father of my son
Mike- very good friend from sign language program in college
Melissa - bitch from college that I don't like and who doesn't like me
Clint - a guy I grew up with from birth till like 11 years old, who lives in my town actually, but that I rarely see
Jon - a not serious boyfriend from high school

I thought I had noticed a setup in a few peoples dream journal but couldn't find an example or tutorial on the topic.... if anyone has suggestions for a good format to use for DJ's, suggestions would be appreciated.
