Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

Dream 1:

I don't remember why, but I was supposed to be in New York, and there seemed to be a hurry.

It seems like I tried to get there by other ways and failed. Then I was with Jeff and he said that the best way to get there would be to use fighter jets--that they could go real fast.

Somehow we found fighter jets and got inthem. I was worried that I didn't know how to fly one, but Jeff assured me that it was easy and that I could do it.

Sure enough, as I flew into the air I found it very easy to manuver the jet around. So we zipped off toward New York.

We hadn't gone far though, before we saw the lights of the fighter jet police. We had to land. The police told us that civilians weren't allowed to fly jets like these, and that we would have to find another way to get to NY.

I was dissappointed. But somehow I was then with Monica in her old car and we had set out again for NY. I was worried about us being in a car that might not be reliable. And that neither of us knew that much about fixing cars.




Dream 2:

I was at the beach. I was about to get into the water when the people that were already there told me not to. I looked down into the water. The shore I was standing on dipped down into a deep pool (more like a lake). In the clear water I could see a dead hammerhead shark. The people on the shore told me that they had seen other sharks around, and that they would probably be here soon to eat the dead shark.

I looked out in the the water and saw two more hammerhead sharks swimming in circles not far from the place where we were. I was glad I hadn't gotten into the water.

Then suddenly I heard a splash and saw that a ten year old girl (Jordan R) had jumped into the water where the dead shark was. I was suddenly so frightened for her. I rushed to the edge and got into the water and reached for her, shouting that she had to get out.

The water got all churny, and I knew that the sharks were there. I pulled at Jordan. At first she seemed stuck. I was terrified that a shark had a hold of her. Then suddenly she seemed loose and actually pushed toward me. I pulled her outof the water and looked back. I saw a dolphin's head poking out of the water. I knew this dolphin had saved Jordan from the sharks.

As I looked at the dolphin I saw that it had been attacked. It was bleeding from scrapes all over it's body. I was afraid that the sharks would be back and finish it off.

I ran back into the water and grabbed it and pulled it out of the water too. I carried it over my shoulder. It wasn't very heavy and was a smallish sized dolphin. It had a white head and mostly white body with little dark flecks of color on the main part of its body.

I stroked it. It felt exactly what I thought a dolphin should feel like. There was something so wonderful and comforting about touching the dolphin.

I started walking with it on my shoulder down to the more crowded part of the marina. As I walked someone wanted to take my picture with the dolphin. That reminded me that I needed to get a picture too. I saw Marie and asked her to get the camera out of my backpack.

I was surprised that it was my old film camera and not my digital (That didn't trigger lucidity. But I guess if carriying a dolphin around on my back isn't enough to produce lucidity, then the camera situation surely wasn't ).

She took a few pictures, but I was worried that the camera wasn't working right. I really wanted pictures of this dolphin.

I finally realized that I did need to get the dolphin back into the water. I walked to the edge of a wooden pier-like area and decided that this would be a good place to put it back into the water. I hoped that the sharks were not in this part of the water.




Dream 3:

I was in my grandparents' house with (I think )Jeff's family. I walked around. It occured to me that my grandparents had both recently died and that nothing had been cleaned out or changed.

I walked over the the mantle above the firplace. I could see wrapped Christmas presents. It made me feel funny to see them sitting there wrapped and knowing that my grandparents would never unwrap them.

I saw a box of chocolates sitting there by the gifts. I lifted the lid. It was still full of chocolates. I wanted to eat one, but I couldn't, because it felt wrong to eat something that was meant for someone who had died.

Haha. Yeah, I'd have been pretty surprised if you became lucid, because of the camera, after carrying a dolphin around on your back. Lol. That seemed like a pretty intense dream. That would have been horrible, if the sharks had gotten a hold of the little girl, while you were trying to pull her out of the water.

And flying around in the fighter jets sounds like fun. I can only think of one time I'd actually done that, in a dream. I should try for that more often.

Dream #2 reminds me of an insane experience I had in January. I was sleeping on the beach by my house in Hawaii. I had my ipod going, had just finished some sketches, and was sort of dozing off. I feel some presence next to me, and open my eyes. I look to my left and there is a Hawaiian monk seal sleeping right next to me. Its lying in the sand on its back, sunning its belly. Its head is turned so its looking right at me.

Awesome! False Awakening! A lucid dream, right? Nope. I did about 20 RCs before giving up. It was just a monk seal that decided to come snuggle with me on the beach.

The things are rediculously endangered. I think they estimate around 1000-1200 of them survive. I snapped some pictures with my shitty camera phone to send to my girlfriend, then it started to rain and I had to run home.

That fighter jet dream sounds awesome.
Too bad the police had to pull you over Spoilsports!

Oh, that would have been very horrible. I always hated those Jaws type movies. I'm glad my mind was being nice to me last night.

Yeah, it was cool. I loved the way it was so amazingly easy to fly them. And how fast they went.

Holy Cow, that really happened to you?? Wow, that's an experience of a lifetime. I can see why you thought that was a dream. I has that magical feel that your dreams often have. I mean just the "I was sleeping on the beach by my house in Hawaii" sounds wonderful. But having a seal lay next to you.....*sigh*.... Do you still have the pictures?

Yeah, that was rather disappointing. But at least I did fly for a little while. And flying in a fighter jet is something completely new for me. I'm used to just flying on my own. It's good for me to try new things....

Dream 1:

I was sitting in my grandparents's kitchen. [Why I always deam about being at my grandparents' house and never my own home is rather strange to me].

I may have been with my younger sister. An elderly lady that was supposed to be a relative was talking to us a little about her past.

I was trying to figure out how she fit in on the family tree. So I finally asked her, "So which of my grandpa's sisters are you?"

She said, "I'm not your grandpa's sister, I'm his niece. I'm Petrea's mom's mom."

I knodded my head thinking that made sense. [In reality Petrea is my Grandma's niece and if she were P's mom's mom that would make her my great grandma. But funny how things are in dreams....]

Then she said, "For your birthday, I was only able to get you this." She then handed me a few papers stapled together. I could see that what was written on it was her life story. I was tocuhed and let her know that I thought that was a wonderful gift.

At that point I remembered that another elderly relative had recently given me her life story too. I had a specific memory of that. But whether it happened in the dream earlier or was just a dream memory, I don't know.


Dream 2:

I was with my younger sister and my older sister's little daughters. We were taking family photos. I remembered seeing the ones that my sister had taken where she was sitting with the twins and holding the book, "How the grinch Stole Christmas" I laughed when I saw it and then told her that I had taken pictures with the story "Tippity Witchit's Hallowe'en."

We then had a discussion of old sotries and how much we loved the way they were worded, and how they had a good cadence.

I looked down and saw a black cat with yellow eyes sitting on the floor by us. Then as if to prove the point I quoted fron Tippity Witchit's Hallowe'en: "Two round yellow eyes glowed like little lanterns from the darkness of the barn. Those eyes belonged to a kitten by the name of Tippity Witchit...."

She laughed becasue the cat resembled the cat from the story.



Dream 3:

(Fragment) I was sitting in my older sister's house and noticed that along one wall of the family room were a bunch of potted trees all lined up to make the one wall look greean and lush. I felt jealous and wished that there was room to do that at my place.

[This seems to be a common theme for me. I am always seeing houses in my dreams that I wish I could have.]

It wasn't quite as romantic as it sounds. The guy was cute as hell, but he was pretty stinky. Anything that stews in sea water all day is generally not as cuddly as it looks. Plus, I had to run and get the lifeguard to help him rope off the area in the rain. I'm sure it was some sort of federal crime to be so close to the little guy. I just found the photos on my phone. If I can figure out how to get them to the computer, I will try to post them.

More Halloween dreams? I think the only person I know who likes Halloween more than you is Matt from www.x-entertainment.com

Thats a common theme for my life. I'm always designing houses that I know I will never be able to have. Jealousy sucks.

Neat, a while ago I had a dream about a cat in a story, but one that I wrote in the dream. Or, more correctly, I was the cat in the story. I wish I could have more dreams about cats and fewer dreams about being at work.

I'm always seeing this house in my dreams too. It's so awesome and has secret rooms all over. Maybe it's the house I'll have in heaven or something.

Then she said, "For your birthday, I was only able to get you this." She then handed me a few papers stapled together. I could see that what was written on it was her life story. I was tocuhed and let her know that I thought that was a wonderful gift.

That would be a great gift. I always like to listen to my great aunt tell me about our family, like how my great grandparents met and where they lived when they were young. It's sad that when she's gone, I'm sure there will still be so much I don't know and no one will be able to tell me.

Great dream journal btw. The first time I got lucid back in December I was reading your lucid journal during my WBTB.

Aww...let me think of it as romantic...

Okay, haha...actually, that does make sense....

Plus, I had to run and get the lifeguard to help him rope off the area in the rain. I'm sure it was some sort of federal crime to be so close to the little guy.

Yeah, I once picked up a desert tortoise that was sitting in the middle of the highway. You're not supposed to touch those either. But I didn't want to see it get hit by a car.

I just found the photos on my phone. If I can figure out how to get them to the computer, I will try to post them.

That would be cool!

I have loved Halloween ever since I was a kid. (I don't think I've ever grown up ). But I don't like the Horror/gore aspect of it--just the spooky, eerie part of it.

Thats a common theme for my life. I'm always designing houses that I know I will never be able to have. Jealousy sucks.

Yeah, I guess it does....

So in the dream you wrote the story about being the cat, then you were the cat?

Ugh, I know what you mean about work dreams. I went through a really bad period once when I had a summer job in between college years. I swear every night I dreamed I was working--and it was always stressful stuff. Do you think I felt rested when I got up and had to go to work in the morning? I felt like I worked all day and night.

I'm always seeing this house in my dreams too. It's so awesome and has secret rooms all over. Maybe it's the house I'll have in heaven or something.

That's funny, because I also have had many dreams where I suddenly have a new house, and it is usually very big and unusual and has many secret rooms. Must be something we both would think would be cool. Obviously...

Yeah, if we never get it in this life, there is always the next life.

That would be a great gift. I always like to listen to my great aunt tell me about our family, like how my great grandparents met and where they lived when they were young. It's sad that when she's gone, I'm sure there will still be so much I don't know and no one will be able to tell me.

You know, I have felt that way since my grandparents have died. So much I don't know...

But I still have one grandma left. And lately when I visit, I have been sitting with her and having her tell me things about her life while I write them up. So that is probably where this dream came from.

Great dream journal btw. The first time I got lucid back in December I was reading your lucid journal during my WBTB.

Oh, that's really cool. When I hear things like that it really makes me feel good. Thanks...

Nice pic btw. Maybe you should lay off the carrots though.

LOL! Hydy Ho there, neighbor.

I guess from now I am only going to be able to show pictures with part of my face showing.

Quick notes becasue I need to go soon.

Dream 1:

Climbing up a mountan in this new town to a Mountain Goat place. Ate buffalo burgers.



Dream 2:

Joined a group that was going to look for dinosuar fossils some where in Utah. In a caravan of cars. All convertables. Three women two, older men.


Dream 3:

Kelly J

Dream 4:

Gang fight. Started running. Then realzied that they were gaining. Stopped and held my ground. Smaller mexican guy. Tells me to take off my Fallen Shoes. Worried that he would have an advantage in a fight if I didn't have shoes. Then realize that Fallen shoes are cool enough to just steal. I explain that they were a special gift.

Later I see that everyone else is all beaten up. I actually put my arm around the Mexican guy and thank him for not hurting me, for only stealing my shoes.

lawl someone stole ur shoes!

Sounds like Stockholm syndrome. I would have broken his fingers.
Had to look up what Fallen shoes were. Sounded like magical footwear or something.

Yeah, and it was rather stressful since I feel helpless without shoes.

Well, I probably shouldn't have given him the hug. But I was feeling truly grateful at that moment that I hadn't gotten beaten up like everyone else.

Well, some might think Fallen shoes are "magical". But mostly they are just cool shoes.

Notes frm last nights dreams:

Big group of DV Members. On train?

Cool! I had a dream about a DV-dream meet-up last night.

Originally Posted by Moonbeam

Yeah, that is cool....

In my dream there were lots of DV members there. The ones I named above are the only specific members I remember seeing.

And I wish I remembered it better. I had even forgotten about most of it by the end of the dream because I had at least three false awakenings where I tried to write it down, and each time I was bothered by the fact that I didn't remember a lot of what happened, especially the first part with CoLd BlooDed and GH. Each time the notes looked very similar to what I have written above.

It was the first dream of the night and it went onfor quite a while, so by the time I got to the end I no longer remembered the beginning. Kind of stinks.... Because I was left with a feeling that it was a really cool dream, and that I would enjoy the memory of it. But of well. I'm babbling now.


Anyway, Moonbeam, the part with you was last, so I remember it better that some of the other parts. We were sitting in a train, I think. Like the trains in Disnayland where the benches all face one side of the train so you can look out and see everything.

You were sitting in front of me but a few people down. I knew it was you and wanted to say HI.

As I reached over to touch your shoulder to get your attention, I wondered if you would recognize me. As you turned around I gave a big grin, because I thought you would recognize me more if I were smiling. You had light brown hair that was slightly curled and down to your shoulders.

If we talked I don't remember the conversation.

Haha! Thats pretty funny
I had a flash of that Mr Bean movie. Where they look at his passport and he's pulling a funny face, then he pulls a funny face to match the picture.

Hmm...I remind you of Mr Bean... .

But yeah, I think I have only posted smiling pictures of myself. So it makes sense. (Well, except for that guitar avatar I had for a while back when I was attempting to learn to play (again), and I had that "serious" look.)




Dreams:

I had several dreams that had to do with exploring. I was with a group pf people, and we were supposed to be scaling this mountain that had a waterfall. It remeinded me of a street (23rd) wehre I grew up how the water fall came down and curved. I got ahead of all the others and came to a place where we were supposed to hang glide across to another cliff. I was a little nervous to do that without the others being there since I had never done that before.


Then it seems I had another dream that started on the roof of what was supposed to be my house. Again we were taking off and rock climbing and expoloring.

I don't remember a lot of details. More like images of where I was.


I just reemmbered a dream fragment about an airplane.

Hey, I just had a buffalo burger barbecue at my house on Saturday. It was a delicious affair.

Yeah, I used to like buffalo burgers, back in the days when I ate meat. It tasted much better than hamburger.

That seems to happen to me a lot too.

I'm sure I would have recognized you. (Or else thought you were some one else I know--like everybody else always does!) My hair is now kind of blondish-brown, it's always kind of curly, not really down to my shoulders yet but I'm growing it out. So, close! I have a pic in my profile, but my hair's not that color anymore.

Right...

Well, You probably would have recognized me. But you know how sometimes you see someone's picture (or pictures) and you think you know what that person looks like. Then you either see them in real life...or even another picture of them, and it doesn't look at all like what you thought they looked like. Anyway, I think that was that I was thinking.

My hair is now kind of blondish-brown, it's always kind of curly, not really down to my shoulders yet but I'm growing it out. So, close! I have a pic in my profile, but my hair's not that color anymore.

Yeah, I have seen a few pictures that you posted of yourself. The arrow ones and the couple that you posted a month or two ago in your journal. So I kind of know what you look like. But, with women especially, you never know what their hairstyle or hair color is as any given moment. So I'm glad I was close.

Oh yea I forgot you probably saw pics. It is hard sometimes to recognize somebody from their pictures. I think I could recognize you.
