Thanks, and I'm glad you've had some recall.....and....I had really good recall last night, too. I have a whole list of dreams that is just waiting for me to put in my journal. but my internet connection is super slow tonight, as if there is a problem. I'd hate to write it all out and lose it. This will be my test reply.

Never tried the stuff. What exactly is it, and where would I find some?

Let's see how well I remember after a full day. I scribbled a few key words first thing this morning..

Dreams (after taking a multivitamin):

Dream 1:

Oh this was a cool one. It had CoLd BlooDed in it again. I always like having DV member dreams.

I was looking out a window from a second story and looked down and saw CB standing around with some of his friends. Then somehow I was down there too so I could hear the conversation. CB was talking about this girl he knew--someone with the username of "16dreams". Aparrently this girl had recently died and CB and his friends were mourning her death. I remember the part where they were especially sad because today she would have been celebrating her sixteenth birthday.

Dream 2:

I was in this really neat place. There all kinds of exotic plants and spiders. I remember taking pictures of them. Then I came upon an alligator. I remember being surprised because I didn't think that alligators lived in that area. It was a very large one and I wanted to be cautious.

Dream 3:

This might have been part of the last one, but there is a part missing that connects them, so I will call it a separate dream. I was sitting on a bus. I suddenly noticed that my camera was gone. I panicked. I looked around my seat. Then I noticed the boy in front of me was holding something that looked a lot like my camera. I leaned over to ask him if I could see it. He hid quickly hid it. I then accused him of taking my camera. And then he slowely showed me what he was holding and it was actually not my camera. I got frustrated and asked him why he hid it if it was his, and not mine. He didn't give me an answer.

Dream 4:

I was at some sort of school reunion. I was sitting at a table all alone. Everyone else around me was laughing and having fun with their friends. No one acknowledged me at all. I felt very stupid and depressed.

Dream 5:

I looked and saw this group of mountainmen. They were all dressed in animal skins and had long hair and thick beards.

Dream 6:

This one was really really weird and I don't know if I can even explain what I saw happening. I was watching this like a movie. There was this guy and he was supposed to be taping this very fat lady to a wooden cross that was laying in a parking lot. She would pretend to cooperate. Then she would pull away before she was taped on. It was just weird....

Dream 7:

College was starting. I was with my friend Marie. She had introduced me to a new friend of hers named Caroline. Marie wanted Caroline to marry my cousin Justin. But I had to tell her that he had just gotten married because he had gotten a girl pregnant. Then there was another group of girls next to us. They joined in the conversation and said, "Just think of how Kimberly feels. Justin was supposed to marry her." And Kimberly was sitting there nodding her head and looking indignant. [This Kimberly was a little sister to a childhood friend I have not seen in a decade. I don't know why she showed up in my dream]

Dream 8:

I was in a Jack-in-the Box fast food place. But supposedly it was a very old fashioned one. It had a wooden hutch by the wall that was filled with glass dishes. Also there was a wooden bench right by the front door. I was hard to get out the door.

Dream 9:

Jeff and Daniel were waiting for me in a van with two girls I didn't know. Then they were talking about a soccer game that Daniel had gone too. Suddenly it was if Daniel were a little boy. His team had done something special out on the soccer field. It had something to do with that "Disneyland bubble snow." And somehow Daniel had gotten left out.


Nine dreams!! Best recall I have had in a long time.

Wow, impressive! I'm glad to have shown up again. Have I apologized yet for not showing up that one time before?

Guess I'll have to try hard now to dream about you.

Marmite



Vegemite


They're basically the same thing, spread it on toast, you should be able to get it in most food shops.

Oh I found this:

Where can I buy it outside Britain?

In the US, Burton-on-Trent Marmite is available from some specialist supermarkets, along with other British delicacies like HP Sauce. Try Indian stores (honest, they get a lot of product form the UK) and in New England try Shaws/Star Market in their international isle.

Jars of Marmite that aren't made in Burton-on-Trent are more widely available, but you should be able to find imported British jars if you look hard enough. The country of origin should be printed on the label.

In our opinion—and we have tried Marmite from about seven different nations—nothing beats authentic British Marmite (though Singapore Marmite comes close, and Aussie Vegemite has its own special appeal, though as I mentioned on ABC radio, Vegemite really is the Pepsi of the yeast extract world .

Well well Twoshadows. My latest LD must've been inspired by you because in my LD there were 2 of me, so i gues i had TWO shadows

anyway i credit it to you. and not only did i complete the first task of the second gate of my dreaming method. I had an amazing experience that was freakishly spiritual. check it out

and Thanks again for being so cool! :yumdumdoodledum:

Well, I had a whole post written and something happened to my internet connection and it disappeared. I don't have much time because I have to get back to the craziness.

I just had told Jess thanks for that interesting info on marmite and that I hadn't had a chance to read Ranma's dream yet, but was looking forward to.

I also mentioned that I was glad that the site was back online.

And that I had one of my most interesting LDs a couple of days ago.

I'll be back........bye for now.

I hate when that happens.

Looking forward to the LD.

Okay...I actually now have a bit of time that I can finally go back and properly respond (again) to all your nice comments:

Yep...there you were again. It wasn't the most interesting dream maybe, but you being there helped.

Guess I'll have to try hard now to dream about you.[/b]

That would be cool. 8)

Very cool.....I still need to read it but it sounds interesting. I'll comment after I read it. And thanks for thinking I may have helped inspire it. And , wow, it's nice to have someone think I'm cool every now and then.... because most of the time I feel like this :

Yeah, usually I don't have internet problems, but of course it had to happen when I had this little window of time free. BUT--my life is now going to be a lot less stressful. The big "thing" that has kept me busy for the past 6 days (and on and off for the last two months) is behind me now. Whew....

Now finally, the moment everyone has been looking forward to....

My Lucid Dream:

(next post)

Lucid Dream&#33;</span>

First of all, I had awakened at about 2:00 thinking about the stress of my responsibilites. I had a really big day the coming day and I desperately needed my sleep--so I pretty much knew I would lay in bed the rest of the night not able to sleep. But somewhere close to 4:00, I went back to sleep and had this dream.

I was in what was supposed to be my mom&#39;s house. I was in my mom&#39;s room talking with her. She was sitting on the bed. I suddenly noticed that she looked very young. Also she was quite thin. It started sinking in that this was not right. My mom didn&#39;t look like this. Then <span style="color:#3333FF">--BLAM--"I must be dreaming&#33;&#33;"

At that very moment my alarm went off--at least what I thought was my alarm went off ("false alarm"...kind of like "false awakening"). The music I heard coming from what I thought was my radio alarm was the Christmas song "What Child is This" (My dreams have such an interesting variety of music.)

As soon as I heard the alarm, I thought, "This can&#39;t happen. I have to stay asleep." So I stared at my mom&#39;s shirt (a white tank top...yes, definitely a dream) and concentrated on staying in the dream. The moment of danger passed and things were stable again.

The first thing I did to check that I was really in a dream was to float. And yes, I could do it. I love that feeling when I realize that I am in a dream and then do the "float". It&#39;s just magical.

I decided I wanted this to be a really useful LD--not just a "flying around" LD. So the next thing I did was to stare at my hands. At first I had 6 fingers. But as I looked it would change. The number would increase. Then I noticed that one of my fingers split into two finger tips (similar to the first time I looked at my hand in an LD).

Then I even noticed that my hand was split--like when you look at a straw in a glass full of water--the refraction makes it not match up right. Well, that&#39;s what my hand was doing. And I also noticed that I was wearing my long sleeved brown shirt that I was wearing in the picture I posted holding the giant cockroach.

Then I decided to be even more thourogh. I lifted up my foot so I could see what my toes looked like in a lucid dream. I saw that I had a lot of toes, but I didn&#39;t take the time to count them all.

I then walked over to the balcony--I was on the second floor. I decided to see what would happen if I let myself fall off. Would I float? Would I hit the ground?

I had a funny feeling backing up to the edge even though I knew that I couldn&#39;t hurt myself in a dream. I got to the edge and gathered my courage and let myself fall backward. I felt a very real falling sensation. I kept going long past when I should have hit the ground. I looked around me. Everything was white. I was falling into this white void. It was very strange. But the falling sensation actually felt kind of good.

I&#39;m not sure how it transitioned, but I was now flying around outside. I could see clouds. I noticed how completely fake they looked. They looked flat like a painting. I was quiute disappointed because I remembered being on the plane and how I had looked forward to seeing very realistic clouds in future LDs

I then remembered that I wanted to fly underwater. I needed to create the ocean. As I flew I told myself that I would come to an ocean. Ands sure enough, I came to a bay (close enough) and dove down into the water. The water was cool, but not too cold. I couldn&#39;t see well under the water so I didn&#39;t stay down there very long or go very deep.Somewhere around this point I woke up. I really wanted to get out of bed and write it down while it was still fresh in my mind. But the sensible part won. It knew I would never go back to sleep and that tomorrow would be an exhausting day. So I went back to sleep. Somewhere in my next dream I wrote the LD down. Wonder if that helped me remember it.

I do remember quite a bit. I just wonder what I have forgotten. I hope this means my dry spell is broken and that I will have many more LDs to remember and share. And I haven&#39;t even gotten the vitamins yet...

Hey.

looking forward to your comment. Good job on the lucid&#33; you accomplished a few tasks&#33; excellent. Next time you find your hands, find a few other objects 2-3 and make brief glances at each one and go back to your hands. the idea is to keep your hands and objects from changing. this stabilises the dream and keeps the dream circumstance from pulling you.

Anyway, i had a brief dream with you in it. check it&#33;

Congrats again

Oooo, I guess I didn&#39;t do a very good job at that, because everything kept changing. Oh well, at least I was lucid enough to notice the changes and find them significant.

Anyway, i had a brief dream with you in it. check it&#33;[/b]

Cool&#33; Finally someone has a dream with me in it&#33;&#33;

Thanks for all your comments.





Dreams:

My dreams from last night are fuzzy.

I know I had some sort of sex dream. But remember no details except that we were doing it in public. I don&#39;t remember the "act" as much as how embarrassed I was afterwards when I thought of all the people who had seen me and how I was going to have to deal with that.

Here are a few of the pumpkins I carved last year.

Anakin:


Cyborg (loosely based on General Grievous):


Moon Face:


Next three are of my Wizard (Or as some children called it..."the Jesus Pumpkin" :







More to come......

Oh yeah, I never wrote down the dream that I had that Jess was in. I think I had the dream two nights ago--but I&#39;m not sure. The whole past week just kind of blends together.

Anyway, it&#39;s just a short dream--and now that I am thinking about it, I don&#39;t remember much. I was sitting in a chair by a computer and Jess was either sitting by me or standing next to me, and we were working on writing something on the computer. If I ever remembered what it was, it is forgotten now...

But still....it had Jess in it&#33;


I need to make a new tally of DV member dreams before they become so numerous that I have to go back and count. Anyone can correct me if I&#39;m off, because I may be since this is by memory.

CB....4

Ranma...3

Oneironaut...2

Jess...2

Aquanina....1

Pyrox (?)....1

Courtney....1

A lot of repeats...because these are the people/friends who talk to me in my journal.

I win&#33;

Oh, and I forgot to comment on your lucid dream. Totally awesome. Looks like you&#39;re getting back into the groove, eh?

I updated my dream journal again, check it out if you can. Not just so you can read my dreams, but I asked you a question, too.

I&#39;ll go check it out.

Well, so much for getting into the groove. I remember no dreams from last night . I had trouble sleeping again. I thought with the Big Stress over I wouldn&#39;t have this problem. Oh well. I&#39;ll be fine, and maybe the dreams will come to me later. At least I remember that I did have some dreams.

Oh and Happy Halloween&#33;&#33;&#33;

Those pumpkin pics are awesome&#33; you are very skilled&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; and you think you are not cool? i dunno, i&#39;m impressed

and HAPPY HALLOWEEN to you too&#33; . you had 3 dreams with me in them? i only remember reading 2 one was about hands.and the other was about The Eye of the needle. was there another one?

[/b]

Oh, maybe you&#39;re right. It just seemed like more, I guess. That&#39;s why I asked anyone to correct me. I&#39;ll just have to have another one to make it three.

Thank you for the compliment on the pumpkins. I love to carve pumpkins, and in the last few years have tried to get more creative with my carving.

What has helped me is a few years ago a really great guy in RI taught me how to wood carve all through emails. I learned a lot. I&#39;ll have to find and post some pictures of these wood carvings sometime. But some of the skills I learned help with carving on the pumpkins.

I only had time to carve one this year--but I was going to make the time to carve one if it killed me. Luckily, it didn&#39;t.

WOW your pumpkins are amazing&#33;&#33; How do you carve them like that, what do you use?? I want to try too&#33;

Cool lucid dream&#33;

I was in your dreams again I feel proud.

That mask makes me laugh&#33; It kind of reminds me of Skeletor from He-man&#33;...By the power of Grayskull&#33;&#33;

Hey Jess&#33;

WOW your pumpkins are amazing&#33;&#33; How do you carve them like that, what do you use?? I want to try too&#33;[/b]

Well, I use several tools. I have a nice set of clay working tools that are great with all the details. When I need to take a lot of pulp off at once, I use my Dremel with a carver attachment. It makes a terrible mess. After I use the Dremel, I am just covered with bits of pulp. I have learned to cover up with a towel and hat and to do it outdoors. But even then it is very messy. And it isn&#39;t great for the Dremel either--it gets all wet with pulp and you have to keep wiping it down. But I haven&#39;t found anything else that works like a Dremel. So I continue to use it.

That mask makes me laugh&#33; It kind of reminds me of Skeletor from He-man&#33;...By the power of Grayskull&#33;&#33;[/b]

Oh funny.... You remember that too?

I had a couple odd dreams.

Dream 1:

I almost hesitate to write this one.

I was being stalked by a DV member. He is actually a real Member here on the board--but I won&#39;t mention his name. I don&#39;t know why it was this person as I have never had any sort of conversation with him, nor have I even read many of his posts. But I did read one of his posts yesterday--that&#39;s the only reason I can think of that his name came up.

So in the dream I knew he was following me. I was surprised that he had tracked me down. And when he crashed through the door of my house, I woke with a start.

Dream 2:

I was getting to be an exchange student. But instead of going to a foreign country, I was just going to another state. I ended up in Salt Lake City, Utah with a very nice family with five teenage kids. I remember they had a nice garden that I was going to be able to help take care of. They had a beautiful view of the mountains from a big deck. But what excited me the most is that this family liked to travel. The dad was talking to me about all the places he was going to take the family while I was there. I was really looking forward to it.

Edit:

Just remembered:

Dream 3:

I was in my garden collecting Amaranth seeds for planting next year. I have been doing this in real life, but in this dream the seeds were a lot more numerous and larger in size, looking more like grains of rice. I was holding handfuls of these seeds, and eating some too, as Amaranth is an edible grain.

I am taking a much needed day off, trying to recover from life. So here I am again popping in to post meaningless stuff in my little journal here.


Here is a picture I took in LA of the little corner market I used to walk to with my sister or friends to buy candy or gum. I noticed this picture had a lot of interesting reflections. The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Ahhh, nostalgia can be overwhelming sometimes, can&#39;t it? When I go back to places I haven&#39;t been to since I was much younger, I sometimes invision myself in a younger form doing all the things at that particular spot.

I like how you can just see your hand in the side mirror.
