Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

I had to get up really early this morning so I don't remember a lot from my dreams. But I reember a little part of one.


Dream:


I was looking at a jar that had something like jam or honey in it. I looked closer and saw that there were three ants in the jar. I reached in with a stick, and they all grabbed hold of the stick.

I tooked them toward the front door to release them. I opened the door and shook the stick. They wouldn't come off. I shook it agian, and finally the black ant shook off and ran into the garden. The ones that were left were a light tan color and a dark maroon color.

The tan one, that looked more like a termite than an ant, also finally shook off the stick and ran away.

I shook the stick really hard to get the last one off. Instead of shaking to the ground the ant flipped onto my arm. I tried to shake it off my arm, but it dug into my skin with little claws. I then took the stick and tried to pry if off. It then started to bite me. It stung, and I started to panic a little. I finally took my other hand and just rubbed it off. Only it didn't come all the way off. Its body tore off and only its head was left on my arm, its jaws still embedded in my skin.

That bothered me enough that I woke up.

I've never been bitten by bugs in a dream, but that sounds really awful!

I'm trying to remember if I have had a dream where I've been bitten before. I know Oneironaut has had painful bug dreams before. This one wasn't extremely painful, but it freaked me out that the ant wouldn't come off my arm.

It's funny how the image of a bug not coming off me can freak me out like that. I'm not afraid of bugs in real life. But they scare me in dreams. I'm always having black widow dreams. I suppose they are the ones that freak me out the most in real life. But I have been trying to get over that.

Like this picture I took a while back. I made myself pat the back of this black widow. Good way to overcome my fear.

Maybe you're being attacked by the phantom spiders:

I'm only afraid of unpredictable bugs. Like crickets. Anything that can jump in your face unexpectedly.

And Worms.

Back in college, I was walking my friend home across campus. On my way back from her house at around 3am, I walked through this huge field with oak trees. I got back to my dormatory, and sat down on the bed in my roommate's room. I was talking with him, when he started freaking out. He ran away to the doorway of the room, and screamed, "Oh Jesus Christ, you're covered in worms!"

Pretty aweful thing to yell at someone.

I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I was covered in inchworms from head to toe! They were squirming all over my hair, my face, my neck. I started ripping off my clothes. they were under my shirt, all over my chest and back. It was terrible. I jumped in the showers and started scrubbing them off. I just ended up mashing them into a paste all over my body. In my hair. It was like worm shampoo.

I guess, in the dark, I walked under a tree that had thousands of silkworms hanging from it. Never do that again.

You are a crazy woman! I'm not afraid of spiders, but there is no way I'm going to go around patting them on the back either!

Very.

And I've always liked that widow picture. That thing's badass...

...creepy...but badass.

Eck, bug dreams. I hate bug dreams!

I used to have a lot of wasp nightmares a few years ago. There would be just a single wasp chasing me the whole time and I'd be terrified of it.

Hmm, I had never heard of those. But actually these are fairly typical dreams--like being in my garage, then noticing that there are black widow webs all around me that are full of balck widows and there is no way I can move without going through the webs.

I'm only afraid of unpredictable bugs. Like crickets. Anything that can jump in your face unexpectedly.

Crickets don't bother me, but Ican see how the thought of one jumping in your face might seem scary.

What I don't like are spiders in webs that I can acidentally walk into. If a spider is one the ground then I don't care. But walking into one freaks me out.

And Worms.

Earthworms don't bother me, but parasitic worms creep me out.

Eeek...what an experience! And they were under your clothes...too... At least now that it's over you can share that story.

Being covered in any kind of bug is pretty freaky, especially if the only way to get them off is wiping them into a paste....blech.

Well, I wouldn't recommend it for most people. But for me it was really pretty therapeutic.

That's the one that had just sucked a big caterpillar dry. That's why she was so bloated. And that's why she was a good one to pet, becasue she could only just waddle around.

That's sounds like a scary dream. I don't think I have had a wasp dream. I'm sure I will now, though. I'm often influenced by others' dreams. For better ...or for worse......

Dreams:

Dream 1:

I remember something about going camping. I ended up in a tree to watch the wildlife. As I looked out I was surprised to see a zebra. I then looked over and saw lions. I wondered where I was.

I then saw a fence around this big area. I realized I was in a wildlife park. A person who worked there came in and started talking to me. I remember the lions getting really close and I climbed a tree.

Pretty fuzzy dream....



Dream 2:

Fragment. I was moving into a new apartment.

New pic.




And both my eyes almost show....
TS

That picture confused me at first. For a second, I thought I was looking at Johnny Five from Short Circuit. Maybe its your inner robot trying to break free.

Hahaha. Gotta love Johnny Five.

That's funny. Maybe it's a picture of me reflected in its eye?

Yeah, I like to do pictures that are not straight forward.

I tired to get my reflection in a marble once. But it was impossible to get my face and the camera close enough. Further back in my DJ, when I first psoted the BW pic above, I took a picture of myself reflected in the back on the BW. But it had the same problem as the marble, so mostly it was my camera and my hand that reflected.

Anyway...I guess I really like relection pictures becasue you get several "levels" of picture.

I just realized that this week is my two year anniversary for discovering Dreamviews. It was either yesterday or the day before.


Yay!!



Time for another lucid party.

Hehe. Almost!

I had to double-check, because I forgot which day mine was on, so I checked yours too, because I knew we were like a year and a day apart. I joined on April 19th '05, and you joined on April 20th '06.

So, not yet, but we're getting there!

[Edit: Oh, but I just saw that you said "discovering" and not "joining," so perhaps you're right. ]

In that case...PARTY!!

Hey O...

Yeah I was a lurker for almost a month before I joined. I wasn't so sure about LDing. I wanted to be sure it was actually a real thing before I joined...I wasn't sure that everyone here might be making it all up.... I joined right after my first LD.

So yup, that's next month. (might as well celebrate all the anniversaries...)

And that's cool that our dates are one day off. And I know Moonbeam's is real close, too.


Edit:

Yup...Moonbeam's is five days before mine, same year....


Edit 2:


So we'll have to make sure that you, me and MB are at my lucid party.

lurking for a month eh? It took me...23 seconds? I was hooked from the get go and I needed to ask a question so I signed up so I could post.

Oh, I was hooked.... and read the board everyday. I just didn't join in the conversation until I had my first.

Dreamviews and lucid dreaming have become such a part of me that I wonder what I would be doing with the time I spend on this board or thinking about LDing. Interesting thought. I'm sure it could not be this much fun.

And speaking of anniversaries, I read what I had dreamed about exactly a year ago, and I found this dream. I guess I did have a wasp dream. I had forgotten. Thank goodness for dream journals.

Dream 2:

I was in the driveway of my old LA house with my sister. Suddenly we see these wasps coming out way. We instinctively know that these are not ordinary wasps but some sort of breed of killer wasps. I decide very quickly to get into the house.

The wasps, are very fast themselves and one manages to make it into the hosue with us. I ran into the pantry to get the flyswatter.

My sister is in the living room standing very still. She points up at the ceiling vent. The wasp is sitting in a groove on the vent. I hand my sister the flyswatter. But she shakes her head, and motions for me to do it.

So I sneak up very quietly and slowly to the wasp. I give a deliberate smack at the vent and wasp. But since the wasp is sitting in a groove the swatter doesn't touch it.

When I swacked, I left the swatter up on the groove, so the wasp was still trapped. So slowly I push at the swatter until it pushes up into the groove. I hear the wasp's body squish at I finally use enough pressure.

Johnny Five... is alive!
I loved those movies when I was young.

A swarm of wasps! I've never had that before. Although I'm sure I will now that you've planted it in my head!

Wow, someone must not have liked my DJ. I think they gave it a one star rating. Not enough interesting dreams? Too much off topic babble ? Too many pictures?

It's the one drawback from reading other people's dream journals. Sorry....


Dream:

Not sure this one will help my rating.

I was on a college campus. I was waiting to meet up with the people that belonged to my World of Warcraft Guild. We had this experiment that we were going to do.

I already knew what it was. We were trying to learn how to teleport. (Now this was with our real life selves, not our characters.)

I had tried to teleport myself once before. I had had amazing luck. It all had to do with confindence. With expecting it to happen.

I remembered back to that day. I had been standing on one of the balconies of one of the college buildings. I had looked across to a roof top not far from where I stood. I knew the trick was to start with teleporting to places that were the same level, or slightly lower, and also closeby. This rooftop that I was looking at was both close and slightly lower.

I had stood there and concentrated. but yet remained relaxed. I had closed my eyes and when I had opened them I was on the rooftop. It had been amazing. It had been so easy. Yet at the same time I was a little nervous that I wouldn't be able to repeat it.

I looked over and noticed the guild members arriving. I sat down at a picnic table that was on the rooftop of the building we were meeting on. Most were finally here, but we were still waiting on two.

I don't remember exactly what happened but for some reason everyone decided to cancel our attempt. I felt upset. I really wanted to have that expereince again. I wanted to be able to lern how to teleport so one day I could teleport at will.

As everyone left. I remember telling someone that I would remain behind, that even if no one else was willing to give it a shot, I would.

I stood on the rooftop over to another rooftop that was to be our goal. It was a little further than last time. But I was sure I could do it. I remembered that it was all about confidence.

I closed my eyes and concentrated trying to reamain relaxed as before. When I opened my eyes. I was on the other rooftop. This wonderful feeling swept over me. The feeling that I had learned something that very few had ever learned how to do.




[I believe this dream was actually all about "lucid dreaming". I was taking the way I feel about lucid dreaming and applying it to another magical type of skill.]

I've got to go to Phoenix. I'll be back Saturday....

Bye, TS! Bring me back something Arizonian!

Bye, bye! Have a nice time! Say hi to my grandpa
