Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

The only thing I can add about the "Eye of the Needle" is that when we looked through it we could see something (meaning it was bigger than a real needle eye when we put it to our eyes). And there was something significant about what we were seeing.

Last night's dreams:

Just a blur of dreams where I was talking to the friend that I am staying with. No details...just continuing the conversations we had until real late last night.



Edit: I notice that I dream about people that I have been talking with that day, especially before bed. I believe all my DV members dreams happen because most often I read though the board esp, the dream journal section right before bed.

yeah that happens to me ssometimes. And i hate dreams where you're finding something significant but you can't remember it.

Oh yeah i didn't LD yet but the other night i had the most longest and most detailed dream to date. it was a bad dream tho. but thanks for pushing me along!

Good to see you made it safely to LA. Don't worry about the lack of vividness, you're on vacation!

Thanks. I've been taking pictures. I'll post when I return.

I've been to my old house and high school....back in the old neighborhood. Really cool to see it again.

Wow this seems to be the dream journal where every one hangs out.

And the more the merrier....

I just had a little power nap, and I was about to post my mini dream....but I forgot it. Oops..... I think it was brief images of places we were at today.

We did go to Playa Del Rey, which is one of the beaches I went when I was young.

I had another night with a blur of dreams. I woke up a little disappointed. But I decided to lay in bed and try to squeeze out one little dream before I got up. It ended up I wasn't tired enough to go fully asleep and have a full dream. But I got to the stage where I was hearing "the voices". I'm sure most poeple know what I am talking about--that stage where you think you are awake, yet you get funny little snips of conversation that you know were not part of your conscious thoughts.

Well, I decided to write them down. After each, I lay back down and did it again. I got a funny little list of these "voices". Here they are:

Someone talking about an invisible roommmate: "You won't see her, 'cuz that's what's expected of her."

"Your brother is so weird."

Ladies voices:
Lady #1: "Your mother said no DNA."
Lady #2: "Your mother told me too."

"The kids and the military will be glad to be back."

Old man's voice : "I can't believe you're not going to give me a cent."

Many voices together: "It's gone!"

Four black ladies sitting around a desk talking about my friend: "He wants to split the groups..." Laughing....

Girl's voice: "And if you're lucky, let me know."

You know what they say about people who hear voices... :yumdumdoodledum: :yumdumdoodledum:

they're umm.... psychic yeah *cough CRAZY Cough*

that's cool tho. i rarely hear voices. it would be cool if i could learn to listen to them more i'm sure they would say some pretty messed up stuff.

COOL!

Do you mean hearing voices as in, lying in bed in the morning and you can hear some one shout into your ear and it feels like they are right behind you?

No. They are just "dream voices". Just like you would hear a voice in a dream--only you aren't quite asleep.

Does this not happen to everyone? These are similar to what I sometimes call "audio dreams", and they usually happen while I nap and I'm not sound asleep. Two of these (the "invisible roommate" and "the 4 black women" were accompanied by a brief image.

This is the first time I have tired to notice each one and write it down afterward. I was surprised I kept getting them. Usually I only get one because I either go to sleep, or I get up after I "hear" it. But I was up pretty late again, and I was exhausted from all the busy stuff I did during the day. So it was easy to keep starting to slip back into sleep. But at the same time, I had a hard time to completely let go and fall into a deep sleep.

If you have never experienced this, I would give it a try. Like I said it is best during a nap, or an a morning you get to sleep in. And all you have to do is listen.

I have a dream to share this morning. I was awakened by my mom calling my cell phone asking when I was leaving LA and how everything was going. It interrupted the dream I was having, but at thesame time, it may have helped my remember it better.

dream:

I can't remember how it started. I remember there was this "eating" part of the dream. I believe we were eating this big bag a fruit. [This was directly influnced by a real life incident. Yesterday my friend brought back these big bags of chopped fruit home for breakfast. There is a Mexican guy with a little fruit stand a few blacks away and sells only fruit. You tell him how many and he peels and chops them and puts them in a bag with lemon juice and chili power (if you like). It was really great--there was mango, pineapple, oranges, watermelon, honeydew melon, strips of coconut and jicima. I wish that guy would come to my town.] So in the dream we were eating this again.

Then I was in a big van (supposedly mine) I had fixed it up so there were all these plants growing in it. Like on the more roomy edges I had made planter boxes and there were plants that were growing very well. I thought it was a really great idea that I had come up with.

Then were were driving though this huge tunnel or cave. It was definitely underground and there were lights and the walls were a yellowish color. Occasionally we would pass a "window" where I could see outside, so I guess we were more like going though a tunnel in a mountain. The van was full of people , but I don't know who they were or where we were going.



I go to LAX in a couple of hours to fly back home. This has been a really fun vacation.

That audio dream is interesting . . . I occasionally hear something really clearly as if someone is saying it in the room or right next to my ear, often my name when it does happen, but this happens rarely. Maybe you pay more attention than most.

The end of a holiday is always a downer huh. Look on it philosophically - all things are impermanent . . . or you could just start planning your next one so you got something to look forward to&#33;

i had a VERRRY short audio dream today. it&#39;s in my dj. last dream.

I&#39;m back home.

Yeah, it was hard to leave. And yes, I&#39;ll have to do it again.

Cool. I think audio dreams are always short....just a phrase or two.

Here are a few pics from the plane ride to LA:

I guess reality has hit. I had nightmares all last night about all the responsibilites that I have come back to. It was so not fun that I have no desire to even write up the details.

Here are a couple of the spiders I took pictures of in LA. The first is a type of orb web spider, and I believe the second is a type of black widow (not all are black). The first has an abdonem a little bigger thanmy thumbnail. The second was fairly small.





I already posted a couple in Jess&#39;s dream journal, so that people that don&#39;t like spiders will now stay away from his DJ as well as mine....

Sorry to hear about your nightmares, just relax, let go, get drunk, keep that holiday feeling alive&#33;

Um, yeah, thanks for that . These photos are even better&#33; The first one is almost like the three fat spiders in my dream, except I didn&#39;t notice any hairs.

Unfortunately, that won&#39;t work for me. I just have to jump in and take care of all my responsibilites. Then I can relax and feel better.

Um, yeah, thanks for that . [/b]

Sorry... But then again, maybe there are a lot of people here that really like spiders and will come by the swarms to visit your journal.

Yeah, that first one was pretty fat. It was actually quite high, and my friend and I were taking turns standing on our tiptoes with the camera way over our heads trying to get the camera close enough to get a good shot. I have about 6 rejects and that one clear one. I&#39;m glad one turned out.

Love those plane-ride pictures to LA. That rainbow is a really cool one.

Reminds me of when I flew to LAX in grade 9.

Thanks CB&#33; You probably had an even prettier flight down the coast. Yeah, I have always enjoyed flying, but it has been a while, and this is the first one that I have taken pictures on. I really think the extint volcanos were really fascinating, I mean, you can see exactly where the lava flowed. And the rainbow was neat--it was because there were so many clouds. It was a fairly big storm were were flying over.

Now dreams......

I had a bunch of dreams last night. I actually slept very well. I had taken care of a lot of things that were bothering me and stressin gme out. Nothing that a dozen or so phone calls couldn&#39;t fix. And another dozen or so today, and I&#39;ll probably be really great.

Anyway, I was so relaxed that I didn&#39;t make the effort I should have to remember them.

There was somehting about being trapped with a bunch of people and trying to escape.

Also, I vividly remember trying to ride my dog like a horse. Now my dog is a pitbull mix and not very big. But in the dream he he pretty good for a while until he finnaly got too tired and had to lay down. I have no memory of where we were going, though.

And I think that that is all I remember. I know there was a whole lot more. Oh well, at least I didn&#39;t have stupid nightmares about my stresses.

Here is my total wish list. I would be happy going on any of these. But my friend who has been in Cost Rica says that is the place I should go. (cool spiders there.... )

Ahhh..........

Thanks for sending me the spider. And I finally updated my dreams... there&#39;s four in total from the last couple of days.

You&#39;re welcome. I think I was in a goofy mood yesterday. And I&#39;ll read your dreams after I write mine. Good job.


Well, I had a somewhat messed up night last night. As much as I tried not to, I took my worries to bed with me again, and I think they screwed up my dreams.

Dream 1:

I was going down to CA to see old friends. But I was feeling terribly insecure about everything. I felt I was not dressed well enough...that I was not pretty enough...that I wasn&#39;t going to be fun....or interesting......that no one would want anything to do with me. It was really an awful dream. I don&#39;t like feeling that way. I mean it was so stupid to have that dream since I had a great time in CA with my old friend and he thought none of those things about me.

Dream 2:

I don&#39;t remember how this started. I was with a guy I knew, but not well. Suddenly I hugged him. I buried my face in his long hair and touched his neck. I was one of the most intimate dreams I have ever had even though there was no kissing or sex. It just felt so good and right----until I woke up and thought, "What the---???"

Dream 3:

Another really weird and wrong dream. I woke up in bed and noticed that I was next to this guy. I felt really embarrassed and was ready to try to sneak out. But then I realized that I was suppossed to be married to this guy. I looked at him. I remembered that he was a minister to some church. I remember thinking that he probably wasn&#39;t going to like me much because I wasn&#39;t part of his religion.

And then suddenly I had to know what he thought of me. I needed to wake him up. I reached out and lightly ran my fingers through his hair. He was older and had short dark hair with bits of white in it. He was probably in his 40&#39;s. He wasn&#39;t waking up, so I touched his face and felt the little bit of stubble on his cheeks and chin. Finally he sort of reached over and pulled me close to him in his sleep. I remember laying there still worried if he liked me.

It was really an uncomfortable dream....full of insecurities. I didn&#39;t like the feeling at all.

Hey Twoshadows. Thanks for coming by my DJ and giving me moral support to quit smoking. the cravings are less and less everyday. another thing i&#39;ve noticed is that i can think more clearly now.

pretty interesting dreams. you seem to dream of mairrage type stuff often. do some reality checks whenever you pass by a wedding or something wedding related in your life eg. movies with the words "Wedding, or mairrage" in them
