It is in some countries (US for example).

Ok, thanks.

My mom made blue apple sauce... I must have done 10 RC's before I bought it

Haha. Sometimes I get weird feelings that "something is happening" and I have to do RC's. It is just a really powerful sense of intuition.

I resonate a lot with this

There's a place here in California where someone has placed dozens of boots upside down on fence posts along the highway. I'll agree with you. Some people are weird.

Just the other day when daylight savings hit, my cellphone, laptop, and coffee pot all said three completely different times. Each was one hour and one or two minutes ahead of the next. WTF! Did not think that was possible since my phone and computer should have been updated by satellite though I expected the coffee pot to be wrong. I thought for sure I was dreaming. Turns out my phone had somehow set itself two hours back!

I was driving in California and I saw a herd of zebras. No joke.

There are lots of cities in California (particularly around San Francisco) where you can just walk around people watching and feel like you're in a dream all the time...RC RC RC RC!

Just the other day when daylight savings hit, my cellphone, laptop, and coffee pot all said three completely different times.

Me, too! I just couldn't find the right time!

I'm getting dressed to go out, I'm reaching for my jeans on top of the box of stuff, and I see a strange round orb with shiny things in it next to my jeans. I do not remember ever seeing this thing before. I'm proud of myself I did an RC right at that moment. It turned out to be a transparent large child's toy bouncy ball with sparkles inside (like a snow globe) and a panda bear. Another RC, where the heck did that thing come from!?

It's sitting on my desk now and I think of dreaming and RC every time I notice it.

One by one, 4 red heart balloons drifted by my window, left to right, with no indications of any people being in the neighborhood that may have released them…. one caught my eye and caused me to RC and stand up, then another drifted by, then another, then another….

This is a great thread!!!

Once I saw a man practicing fishing casts in his front yard. In waders.

The Buddhist temple I practice at is in the midst of a residential area, during retreats I have seen groups of Tibetan monks strolling down the street in a Midwestern, working class neighborhood. I RC every time!

All in the course of about 15 minutes:

• cat barfed up a hairball
• a dog was nearly hit by a car outside my window
• the cat started trying to pee by my table
• I found a condom balloon in the house
• an elderly family member nearly collapsed in the hallway

After posting about the toilet disaster dream signs I missed this morning, I had a real moment of questioning reality today!

I was using a public toilet that had a big reflective section at the bottom of the door. While peeing, I suddenly realised that it wasn't reflecting the floor on my side at all - it was actually a giant gap in the door where a vent used to be. Just at that moment, someone walked up and knocked on the door. I could see their legs right there through the gap! I finished up at super speed and RCed all the way out of there.

Great thread! I get dream like things happening a lot. Last time was 3 days ago. Me and my girlfriend had a big fall out. I go to the park close to my apartment and I'm sitting on a bench wondering why we fell out and what the implcations are. Right then a girl walks right infront of me with a bag perfectly at my eye level with "EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON" written on it in bold letters.

Here is a snippet from my dream (and the link too if you need):

My Dream Journal Entry

Where do you guys want to go?", was my question. One woman said, "lets go see the Ouroboros ducks near the sea!" Pausing in thought she added, "they come down from Cuba around this time." She gave me enough information to give me a sense that we were flying somewhere over South America. The Amazon river was near and we followed it, flying above towards the ocean.

She said Ouroboros ducks! Although I just kind of accepted it in my dream without much thought, after I woke up I questioned as to what those really are. And if they really are a thing? lol.

Saw a girl with red velvet cupcake colored hair

I was walking with a friend in Pacific Beach (San Diego, CA) and we were shrooming actually at the time and this random guy comes up to us (not exactly mentally stable) and brings up shrooms within about 30 seconds totally random out of the blue... then he starts talking about midgets and how he can show us where they live. Earlier that day we watched 3 or 4 minutes of some midget reality TV show (first time I 'd ever heard of it or seen it),or maybe they were dwarfs I can't remember... I guess there actually is a small community where many of them live in near Pacific Beach though. Again though, it was totally random no reason for him to bring that up really. More synchronicity than anything, but man a total RC moment.

Yesterday evening, I left a store, stopped to do a 10x repeated affirmation of "I'm dreaming!" (which I do upon location transitions), and in the middle of this a crazed little insane poodle (with a weird "hairdo") came up behind me and bit my ankle (just pulled on my jeans a bit).

Yesterday, a tram (not moving too fast thankfully) slammed into a line of stopped cars (that had illegally crossed on to the tram tracks in order to avoid the longer lines in the legal lanes...but still, they were stopped). I saw it as it happened. Caused a pileup of 3 cars one into another. The one hit by the tram was entirely trashed in the back (back window shattered).

I can't believe I wasn't dreaming. I get 'deja vu' way too much which is weird. Real life can be strange for me.

Not sure if I responded to this before, but this reminds me of the time I saw a bunch of boots upside down on fence posts. Lol. Then, on the way to Oregon, There is a field with cardboard and metal Fantasy creatures along the highway. Caused me to look twice. Day continued normally.

One morning I was slowly waking up in my bed in the very early morning, like 3am, and was more and more intrigued by the unusually loud "outside" noise. Nothing spectacular, cars passing by in the distance and general city-at-night noise, coming from downstairs.
I decided I need to check if I left any windows open downstairs and walked down the stairs naked. Our front door is just at the end of the stairs and just as I take the last few stairs down I notice that the front door is open...

I instantly thought "yeah well... naked, front door open wide in the night, gotta be dreaming" and perform a nose pinch. And another, and another... I guess I will never forget the adrenaline rush I had when it finally settled in that I was indeed not dreaming. I armed myself with a kitchen Knife and checked out the complete house after locking the door. That was really creepy.

Thank you so much for sharing that Ginsan, it was truely beautiful to hear that.

I actually read this thread a couple of days ago and decided to hear the piece later but I forgot to do so, but just now I remembered and searched in dreamviews for "Tartini" to finally find your post! This has inspired me to listen to music in dreams and compose my own ( I am a musician )! Some day ( or rather some night ) when I'm lucid I am just going to listen to a orchestra play infront of me. Just me.

Thank you Ginsan for sharing.
