      (Literally) mapping dreams

      Although I'm not yet skilled in the art of lucid dreaming, there are always a few dreams that I have that are interesting, not only because of the plot, but because of the setting. I have also always wanted to be able to share those amazing dreamscapes with others, so I decided, just today, that I'd try to start a 'map every interesting dream' thing here. If you want to put your own maps up, feel free! (No, I don't love maps; I just thought it would be easy access for accurate dream world incubation) First, I will share my map of this dream. Just note, I drew these in notes on my iPad, so my already terrible handwriting may be unreadable. I apologize for my awful drawing skills as well. The grid's nice though. Don't worry- I will offer an explanation of each island displayed right before its individual map, including name, backstory, etc.. I think I've done enough intro; onto the maps! (Final note, I promise. Most of the island names were given to me by a squid person. I did not create them, except the isle of beans.)

      The Oruchi Sea
      Attachment 9555
      This is the extent of what I saw in my dream.

      Ködor
      The southernmost island in the Oruchi sea. A small island with a single beach to the north and a single village of the same name. This fishing village is always surrounded by thick fog less than a kilometer out. This thick fog keeps other islands out of view and any sailors away. Over hundreds of years, this lead the inhabitants to believe that Ködor was the only bit of land in the world. No inhabitant dares to go past this layer of fog, in fear of punishment from the gods.

      GEOGRAPHY

      Isle of Tc'ude
      An isle just past the fog barrier. There, friendly squid people live. To the northwest, there is a pier, where visitors can have ships repaired or built. Named after the founder of the island, parent of all squid people, and leader of the squid people. I only was able to view the pier area in the dream this occurred in.

      A NONDESCRIPT MAP OF WHAT I SAW
      Attachment 9558
      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      Dülkvetr, Sap Pits, And Tar Pits
      Dülkvetr is an island surrounded in a thin, purple mist. Its trees are purple and withering, and it's terrain is rather flat. It's accompanies by two companion isles, the Sap Pits and the Tar Pits. I was only made aware of these two volcanoes (that apparently explode with their respective materials) by the squid in my crew who mentioned it out of the blue whilst exploring the island of Dülkvetr. From what I could tell, Dülkvetr is the largest island in the Oruchi Sea area I saw. There were ruins, but I woke up before seeing much.

      Unexplored Islands

      Isle of Beans
      I named this island after the beanstalk that grows right in the center, stretching beyond the clouds. However, despite wanting to visit this island first, I only got to see it from afar, over at the pier on the Isle of Tc'ude, as I chose to go to Dülkvetr first.

      Dokè
      A squid told me that this island was called Dokè. The west-most island is brimming with grayish mountains, and I couldn't see the full extent of it because of this. I only viewed Dokè from the pier

      Infant Isles
      The Infant Isles are a bunch of baby islands clustered together in a volcano hotspot. I only viewed it from the pier.

      That certainly is a nice red button you have there.

      It'd be a shame if someone were to...

      Press it.

      The Bee island
      -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Another dream with an island. Unfortunately, I only remembered one real island, so I mapped that one.

      Attachment 9606

      This is the Bee Island, from a dream I will journal in a few minutes. This island has 2 main factions; the blue bees and the normal bees. The normal bees hold most of the island, from the shore to most of the way to the other shore. While the normal bees had a queen, the blue bees have no leader. The normal honeycombs are structured as a maze, while the blue honeycombs had a tendency to be built on cliffs, in holes or caves, or, after winning a battle later on in the dream, were the exact same as the normal honeycombs, but blue. The queen's layer is the only location actually shaped like a beehive.

      Perhaps it's just me, but clicking on the links to your maps brings me to an error message. I'd love to see them as soon as this is fixed!

      This just started to happen I think, as I can no longer access the images either. I will try to fix it as soon as I can.

      (Ignore 'attached Images' if you see it and can't open them, I think I messed up with editing)

      This seems to me like great idea.
      Not only because that's exactly what I did for some time. Now I have a whole archive of mapped dreames like that. The idea of that praxis was to draw the environment of a dream (whith just a few words on dream-description or events in DJ which accompanies each map). A collection of such drawings-maps was viewed as a thing in itself and later (as a waking-practice during the day) one tries to connect individual maps (which are connectable of course), and to put each dreamsphere-map into (its place in) a larger map... (all with the directions EWNS, and with center as your home).

      The thing is: once I started to draw my dream-scenes (envireonment, place itself) tagged with title and date of dreaming them like that, almost immediatelly, from the start I experienced a rush, a real surge of memories of dreams and I even mapped like that old dreams which I dreamt who know's when, even when I was a child. In other words, I rememebered dreams long forgotten...

      I will try to put few examples of images/maps of a dream in attach (from one's I have on my PC). Don't know if it will work, since this is my first time to try to get an attach up. So, be patient with me...
