I'm glad you thought it was cool.

Sometimes I feel a little reluctant to share all my DV member dreams because sometimes I wonder if you guys feel a little weird that I (in some ways a complete stranger) am having dreams about you.

I have sometimes wondered why I have so many DV related dreams, but it kind of makes sense because this is the place I share my dreams and talk about dreaming ....so when I dream, it is natural for there to be a connection.

Now I want to go back and reread that one.

Oh, man, I really wish you could have been there and seen it. Especially that last very dramatic part. I mean, what a shame--it's like you starred in a movie that you'll never get a chance to see.

And yes, it was very detailed. Some of my dreams are remembered with very choppy recall, and I have to go back and try to fit it all back together. But not this one. It flowed like a movie, and I remember all of it in detail. I remember what I saw, what I was thinking, etc. Those are my favorite kind of dreams because they feel so real, both at the time and in retrospect.

First off, I want to tell you that you have very loyal friends. I'm pretty sure one of those guys was Jack. But sorry I didn't end up getting Brittany there. (By the way, do you talk to Jack about dreaming? If you do, you can tell him that he showed up in a complete stranger's dream.... )

You're actually pretty easy to dream about because you have shared a lot of information with us, and my mind can use it when I dream. It's harder to dream about people who I don't know much about.

Yeah, and if only I could remember to do a reality check when I see you.

Although with the "On the run" dream, I'm kind of glad I didn't become lucid. Some dreams are nice just to let it all play out.

Yeah, you were 2/11ths of that night.

Keep up the good work, TS.[/b]

Thank you!

I'm just sorry that I couldn't remember more of that dream. The first dream of the night is always the least remembered.

But yeah, if you had shown up in the second dream, it might have been you getting covered with radioactive fallout.

And if you had waited until the very last dream of the night, I would have been babysitting you.

Haha...I was thinking about it more like my Mind sending out signals that you are all picking up on.






Dreams:

I know I had lots of dreams last night. But now all I remember are fragments.

Fragment 1:

Mom was selling her house. I was with her looking for new houses to buy. I kept telling her she needed to buy one that had a full basement we could use as a fallout shelter.

Fragment 2:

Another babysitting dream. I was talking care of a friend's toddler. Of course I was sitting on a ledge of a cliff. I was so worried that the little girl would fall off the edge.


Fragment 3:

I was with my dead uncle at an arcade. He was showing me how to play this game.

Fragment 4:

I was teaching a huge class of about 60 seven year olds.

Fragment 5:

I was driving with my aunt. We passed this very interesting old very tall triangular building. As we got closer I could see that it had fire damage. As we passed it I could see that it wasn't very tall at all,but was tipped on its side.

I just realised that my Dream Journal is one year old</span> today.

So many anniversaries and birthdays...


Can you tell I just like to celebrate?

So...you are directing rather than receiving...well send me some good stuff&#33; Please, thank you.

All right..... I&#39;ll send you all the good stuff I can.

Let&#39;s see....what do we want to dream about?

Anything really as long as it&#39;s lucid.

(I&#39;ll try to be especially receptive tonight. I haven&#39;t been sleeping well; I don&#39;t know why. Hopefully tonight.)

Thanks for sharing&#33;

Well,my mind didn&#39;t send out very strong signals last night, because even I don&#39;t remember them. But see if anything is similar.....

Fragment 1:

I am on a trip with my family and a larger group of people I don&#39;t remember. At one point we stop for the night. We decide to sleep in a Safeway. I thought it was odd, but not odd enough to question my state. I wondered if they would turnout all the bright lights. They did-- all but a few so the shoppers could still see.

Fragment 2:

I remember seeing a toad in my front garden. It was yellowish in color.


Fragment 3:

I got a PM from a member of this board asking me if my backyard was concereted in or if I had a garden out back.


I know there were more, but they are slipping away too fast.....

I dreamt of toadstools last night...not quite close enough to be considered dream sharing right?

EDIT: happy anniversary&#33; any excuse...

Was it yellowish?



Well, I&#39;m a mess today. This morning I got the devastating phone call that my sister just found out that her cancer is back. It&#39;s in her bones, on her lungs and lymph, and she has a tumor on her hip. She starts on radiation immediately (tomorrow).

I love my sister, and the thought of her being gone is too horrible to think about (yet I have been thinking about it all day). She is young and beautiful and has little twin daughters.

OH TS I&#39;m so sorry. That is such terrible news. It&#39;s not fair for that to happen to somebody so young, with two little kids. I don&#39;t know what to say.

I know there&#39;s nothing a far-way stranger can do to help ease you and your family&#39;s pain, but know that I am thinking of you and wishing your sister well.

Thanks Moonbeam. I appreciate the things you said.

I&#39;m feeling helpless myself.

I&#39;m now extra thankful that I have been doing the anti-cancer diet for the last couple of months. But at the same time I feel guilty because I feel healthier than ever. And I know my sister, even if she survives this, is going to be feeling horrible the next few months.

I know you probably know this--but there&#39;s absolutely no reason for you to feel guilty&#33; Your sister wants the best for you and you need to take care of yourself so you will be strong and able to help your family more.

Thanks again. It&#39;s just that I&#39;ve felt about every emotion today. But I&#39;ve pulled myself together. I just need to get rid of my bad headache.

So sorry to hear that TS, my thoughts are with you too.

Sorry to hear of your bad news. I can somewhat empathise with your situation (my Mom had thyroid cancer, went through chemotherapy and traces have been found in her system again. So she&#39;s up against another round.). Like Moonbean said, none of us can be there to keep you company but we do care. I know it&#39;s hard to accept and be content with. My heart and thoughts are with you and your sister.

I wish I had more powerful words to say... Best wishes.

Thanks Jess and Ogh (does that work for an abbreviation for you, Oneironaught?)

Sorry that you are going through this with your mom, too, Ogh. It&#39;s bad enough the first time and then you think you&#39;ve got it all beat....then BLAM&#33;.


After all that, all I remember dreaming about is getting a job at a golf course. I was holding a pink notepad and a bucket of golf balls.


I took a walk and took some nice pictures. I may post them in a bit.

I also took a few more pictures of various of my carvings. But I think I may wait a bit to post those so people are not comparing them with those of Ogh&#39;s.

Here are some pictures I just took.

How about just "gh", since a few others have called me that before?

That&#39;s OK. I only mentioned that for the connection. I don&#39;t want to take away from your bad situation. Wait, yes I do. You know what I mean.

Fantastic pictures you took there. Very detailed, vibrant and expertly framed.

I swear, it&#39;s not a competition. You can show yours anytime you want. I&#39;ll show you mine if you&#39;ll show me yours

Actually, I&#39;m glad you shared that. It&#39;s sad that so many are suffering with things like this. That&#39;s the reason I am choosing this new way of eating (raw vegan is anti cancer). It gives me something to do that makes me feel in control. And I really believe it will help me. I wish my sister was more open to this sort of thing. But she doesn&#39;t even want to give up her diet sodas at this point. She says she is too stressed to change her diet.

I appreciate your comments.

Oh, I know it&#39;s not a competion between me and you. I&#39;m not really worried about what you will think when you see them. You&#39;ve been very nice with your feedback and I thank you for that. I just have been reluctant to post anything of mine in the Artist&#39;s Corner. I have always posted my pictures and things right here. I know anyone interested enough to read my DJ will probably be kind-- and less likely to tell me all the things that are wrong with them.

Wow those pictures are beautiful&#33;

TS, I had a dream with you in it. You and I were running thru a dark cave with something trying to get us. We were holdiing hands; I could see your face like in your avatar. I forgot most of the details, unfortunately. It sounds like a bad dream, but it wasn&#39;t; I remember when I woke up I wasn&#39;t scared or anything, so I guess we got away&#33;

Awesome pics, TS. I really like the one of the bee inside the flower. (That is a bee, right?)

That&#39;s so cool, Moonbeam. I like the fact that even though something was after us, we weren&#39;t afraid. And caves, too. I love caves.

And thank you for the compliment on the pictures.

Thanks O. And yeah, that was a bee. Not a honey bee, but some kind of bee. It was in one of those cactus flowers. It crawled out right as I got close. I snapped the pic right before it flew away. I like the way only its face shows, looking like it&#39;s peeking out. And it&#39;s covered with pollen. Messy bee.....




Dreams:


I had a bunch of short dreams last night. I went to bed with that feeling that I was going to lucid dream. i don&#39;t know why, but I can almost sense them coming.


Dream 1 (mini lucid):

I don&#39;t remember becoming lucid. I just remember being lucid. I was standing in the kitchen with my dad. My dad was looking down at something on the counter. He had a kind and knowing little smile on his face, and he was humming this tune.

I remember thinking that there was something very significant to the tune. I told myself that it was very important to remember this tune.

All I remember at this point is it was G A B (quarter note, quarter note, half note) repeated three times. After that it went on to something more complex that I no longer remember.

I believe this dream was inspired by Oneironaught&#39;s dream yesterday and my comments to him.


Dream 2:

I was wearing handcuffs. My hands were bleeding.


Dream 3:

I was riding with Jeff on the back of this small yellow cart like thing. We were going down this narrow, winding, but paved trail.

I was sitting somewhat sideways on this place in the back. I remember it felt good going down the hill. I let Jeff worry about the "driving". It was kind of dreamy and nice.

Right before we got to the bottom, the trail got rough and I had to get out and walk the rest of the way down.



Dream 4 (very mini lucid):

I was in the gym with Barb. She got a black notebook out and started to show me something.

BLAM...I was suddenly lucid. I knew the gym hadn&#39;t looked right. BUt before I could actually do anything I woke up.


Dream 5:

I was in a classroom with a bunch of middle school aged students. They were playing a patriotic song on the drums. It was so loud that I had to cover my ears.


Dream 6: (This was after my radio alarm went off the first time)

I had just arrived at the school. I walked toward a black guy who worked there. His cell phone rang. He answered it and said that I needed to hear this. I took his phone and put it to my ear. I could hear my radio alarm going off, as if had called me to remind me to get up. I remember laughing with the guy about that.

How close were you to the third picture? It looks nice and has a lot of detail for such a small thing. They are good pictures TS have you thought about doing a photography topic in the Artist&#39;s Corner?

I&#39;m so sorry to hear about your sister TS, i really feel for your family. Its just such a cruel disease the way it can come back like it does.

Wow...I completely missed that.

I know it doesn&#39;t help much, but I&#39;m really sorry to hear about your sister, TS.
