Hmm...must have missed those.


Dream:

Just fragments pieces of a dream where I am at my grandparent's house. I felt like I was re-living my childhood. I was wanting to go out and play in the field across from thier house. And I remember some childhood friends being there.

Dream:

I was a new student at a school. I met a couple of other students who kind of befreinded me and showed me some of our classes.

Then at some point (the next day? ) I am at the school. I don't see my frinds and I am trying to remember where my classes are.

I finally find one of the friends. She reminded me that we were going to start building models of bridges today, and that I was supposed to bring at least five photos of bridges. I hadn't known that, so I panic for a moment. Then I opened up my purse and find a pamphlet of Lake powell. I see that it had several pictures of the big bridge there. Then after going through my purse again, I find a pamphlet from California and see several more pictures of bridges. I feel better after that.

I go into the room and find that I don't know anyone there. I feel very alone.

At the front of the class are several models that the previous class had make. They were all houses-- and not bridges. They were very complex and detailed.

I also wondered if I was supposed to bring any materials. As I look around many of the students have materials on their desks.

I also wondered where my friends were that had befriended me yesterday. I had thought that they were in this class (they were Luke Perry and Jason Priestly...lol).

Then the teacher instructed us to start. She had a few materials on a table for people who hadn't brought their own.

I went to get a piece of cardboard so I would have a base to build on. But they were all ripped and I had trouble finding one that was big enough to use. I finally found on that had a base about 10 by 10 inches. I also found these pink stones that I was going to use to build up the walls of the house. I worked so long and so carefully. I finally got the walls up and started on the roof.

Then something made me start to wake up, and I glady finished waking up. I was so glad that I didn't have to take any more time trying to finish that house. But at the same time I felt that I had put so much effort into that house that I should have been able to take it with me.

You're giving me flashbacks to architecture studio classes. Building all those little models was fun, but a total pain in the butt. My favorite part was collecting small random objects that I could use for building components in the models. I'm definitely buying my daughter a dollhouse (if I ever have a daughter).

I never had one of those classes. But now I feel like I did. And yes, every little girl should have a doll house.

I had a nice hike Friday. Here are a few pictures.

Gorgeous, both you and the rocks

Thanks, Ninja.

I went kayaking yesterday. I had a great time. It got a little windy at the very end so it made for quite a workout fighting the wind getting back.

Dreams:



I had two babysitting dreams last night.

In the first one I was babysitting the Olsen kids. I remember we watched lots of christmas shows on DVD. Then when it was really late I noticed that Christian was really dirty. I wanted to hurry and give him a bath before his parents came home.

In the next dream I was with my friend's little girl Catherine. In this dream she and I were really close. In real life she is very shy and doesn't like to leave her mom. But in this dream she was with me and I was holding her hand and we were walking and later I was reading her a book. It was one of those dreams that make you feel really good.


No kayaking dreams.

Dream:

I had to give a speech. In the dream I remember writing it all out so that I would know exactly what I was going to say. Finally the time comes for me to give the speech. I can't understand my notes. I adlib a little, but I am confused why my notes don't make any sense when I worked on them so hard. Suddenly everyone starts leaving right in the middle of the speech. Finally when there are just one or two people left I finally decide to say, "And I guess I'm done", and I leave the microphone.

What a frustrating dream.

Did Wire Pass/ Buckskin Gulch (part of) today.

I've been there! That last photo just blew my mind with a long forgotten memory.

That's cool that you've been there. Although why does it not surprise me that you've been somewhere as cool as that. You seem to do a lot of cool things.

And that is so incredible to step of of the slot and see the huge arch. This is at the confluence of Buckskin and Wire Pass. It's hard to see how big it is in the picture. I'll add a few pictures that might help show how big that is for those who have never been there.

So how far did you hike, RB? We didn't get too far down Buckskin before we ran into big muddy waterholes. I was prepared to go through them, but a few weren't, so we went back and went a ways the other way through Buckskin.

I would love to do the whole hike someday.



And do you remember the petroglyphs?

Dreams:

I have done a terrible job at writing down my dreams in the morning. I always remember a few. But since I don't immediately write them down they fade and are forgotten.

.

I'm sure we didn't hike too far. I'm a wimp, and would have been wimpier back then. I haven't been there for at least 15 years. I barely remember when I would have seen it, but I know I've seen that giant arch. It is very recognizable. I have a vague memory of taking the long way around the grand canyon going from Phoenix to Vegas so we could check out some of the parks along the Utah border.

So pretty

Dream:

I had a dream a couple of days ago where I was doing pull ups. I have had versions of this dream before. I seem to really like to do pull ups in my dreams because I am so good at them. The problem is that I am so used to being good at dream pull ups that I never question why they are so easy for me to do (thus becoming lucid). In this dream, like other dreams, I was thinking " Wow, all that weight lifting has really paid off. This is easier than ever now." After doing quite a few regualr pull ups, I started doing one armed pull ups with my other arm behind my back and with my legs bent at the knee and crossed behind me. And I'm so vain. I'm always hoping others will notice how strong I am.

Silly me.

Dream 1:

This one is pretty weird in retrospect. Plus most of the details are gone at this point. But I remember "driving" this submarine. I could see sharks and other ocean life. I was following someone else. At one point we came to this part of the city that I could no longer keep my sub in the water, so I had to come out of the water and carry this huge sub through the streets for a while til I could get it back in the water.

Dream 2:

I was with this group of people who were having a party. They were serving Pineapple upsidedown cake. I suddenly decided I was so sick of being antisocial by never eating anything that was served at any place I ever go, that I decided to eat a piece of that cake. It didn't taste good at all and about half way through I was feeling terrible about breaking my goal to never eat sugar. I thought about all the much healthier choices I could have made that wouldn't have broken the goal-- and that would have actually tasted better to me anyway than that cake.

I felt very discouraged at the end of this dream. And I know that that's what it would be like in real life if I did that. I do sometimes feel antisocial when everyone is eating around me and I'm constantly saying "no thank you." But there's a part of me that feels so great and strong by always being able to do that, that I don't want to lose that. I like feeling/being in control of what I eat. I love the way my body feels now that I am eating healthier.

Dream 3:

I was with my mom, and we were talking about me going back to college (taking really hard classes) or getting a new job. I was feeling a little stressed about making those changes in my life.

There is no way I could give up pineapple upsidedown cake. That's my favorite food There is a place down the street that sells miniature bundt cake versions. So good...

That's funny. It's probably a good thing that I have never really like pineapple upsidedown cakes. Now if it were some rich gooey fudge chocolate cake. Then I probably would have gobbled the whole thing up before feeling guilty.

I think the reason that I dreamed about this kind of cake is that last week I was at a luncheon for a group of friends--and some one served a pineapple unsidedown cake which, of course, I had to turn down.

And I had another conversation with another good friend which happens to be a pastry chef, of all things. She is always making really cool things and wishing I could try them out. She always asks, "Now when are you going to be able to eat this kind of thing again?" And I always think, "Well, when I want to be fat and unhealthy again". But out loud I say, "probably not for a while." I don't want to people to think I'm trying to be better than they are by eating this way.

How many can you do in real life? Strong girls are sexy

Real life?? ...haha.... I'm not very sexy in that case. I think I can do like... one, if I can start with my arms slightly bent. But if I have to start with my arms straight I can do a grand total of zero.

But I can do sit ups forever.

You're still sexy

You're easily the most dedicated dreamjournal keeper on this site. 104 pages and growing... damn, I need to start doing this. I've been dreaming like crazy too.

Tomorrow, I promise, I will record whatever dreams I have.

Okay, if you say so...

Well, thanks, CB. That's great that you are dreaming a lot. Yeah, you really should start up your DJ again!

I haven't been doing as well in the most recent months about recording every single dream I have had. But I still try to write down the interesting dreams (which are not actually very interesting either lately).

BUT--

I did have a very small lucid dream last night. The first in about a month. So that's very cool.


Lucid Dream:

I was doing a not-planned-WBTB. I was having trouble going back to sleep. But finally I realized that I was in a room in some industrial type building and knew that I was dreaming. I did what I always do and took off flying. I flew through some rooms enjoying the ability to fly, but still not feeling the total freedom of flying outdoors. I thought about the tasks, but couldn't remember them. I then decided to change the scenery to something more interesting.

I don't actually remember what happened at that point. My next memory is of me doing tricks in front of several Dream Characters. I was showing off my great strength (I know this sound silly, but this seems to come naturally for me just like flying. I do this without a lot of thought).

Instead of doing pull ups like I often do I was doing push ups. Then I would balance on my two hands and slowly bring my back legs up to a handstand position. The I would slowly bring them back down.

It felt so good that I could do this that I think I got distracted from lucid dreaming and let it fade into a normal dream.

Dream 1:

Some people and I were having a weird contest where we would have to stick out our tongues and balance an M&M on the tip, then see who could talk for the longest without having it fall off.

Dream 2:

There was this cord thing hanging off the side of my car. I figured out that it fit up under the door. I was trying to reach up the small slit at the bottom of the door and try to hook it back around so it wouldn't hang out. At one point I was suddenly worried that there might be black widows in there.
