Hi Newfreedom, Im very happy for you to have met Tod and have been able to hold him in your arms again. Whenever my beloved-cat-friend-Ati appears in my dreams, even not-lucid, I know it is something special. I see him as my otherworlds-power-animal and so I see your dog is for you :)
And agree, very illuminating replies of the others here.
Ok, thanks Beekeeper, that would make alot of sense too, i do have issues to do with privacyQuote:

The only way i can understand this is, that i knew it was a 'dream' and that holding Tod in my arms felt 'no different' than when it did in 'normal life' and so in that sense it wasn't extrodinary in anyway.
Also i have been spending alot of time in dreams with Tod, only they haven't been particularly pleasant ones, so maybe the dream me is not familiar withnot having Tod around and therefore being with Tod in this lucid dream was not unusual for me in a feeling sense.....
Still my lack of reaction was strange though !
Perhaps he is with me more than i know, maybe i should feel and look for him more within my mind..
i just did this and got a lovely funny image of him, seems i just need to 'wonder where he's at' to get experience of his presence with me ....:heart:
Brief Lucid experience, - driveway
28/07/11
It was an afternoon nap
I was in my 'old home' trying to find a pen that worked, i picked up a second pen and this too had hardly any ink, at this point i knew i was dreaming,
i decided to go back outside onto the front driveway and 'fly high' into the sky, when i got outside there was a black posh - looking car parked outside the driveway, that hadn't been parked there earlier. It was a very bright sunny day, but i began to loose vision, i shouted 'clear sight' and 'i want to see now' but realised i had lost my vision due to the fact that i was waking up.... and wake up i did
Shame... it would of been awesome to fly up into the sky on such a beautiful day
The pen running out of ink was probably your indicator it wouldn't go long.
Afternoon nap (today)
Hypnogogics - stroking my deceased dog
I was stroking my (now deceased) dog's head, everytime i stroked his head, his eyes would focus forwards as if he was trying to get my attention and show me something
Backward roll energybody experience
i must of fallen asleep, i became aware of waves of strong energy going up through my body, this happened a couple of times before i found myself tumble towards my head (rather like doing a backward roll)
i had no vision but now felt upsidedown in a curled up position at the top of my bed, just then i felt like i was holding my arms up in the air, as i let my arms drop, one of them hit the desktop next to my bed and so now, i assumed i really had physically moved into this position and it had not just been my energy body.
With this understanding in mind i struggled to get fully conscious so i could get out of this 'rolled up position', only to awake properly to find my arms by my side and lying down flat on my bed.
------------------------
After realising this, i went back into sleep,
i then had a long lucid deam, but i wasn't really very happy or impressed about this, i'm not sure why, i think perhaps i wasn't feeling emotionally great and this spilled over into how i experienced the lucid dream, basically with 'little delight' or enthusiasm
So i am going to write it very briefly...
Lucid Park dream (with low enthusiasm)
i was walking down the hallway of my now home and one of the rooms was a different shape, this brought me into lucidity.
Next i was in unfamilar extra part to my now house
Went through a door to outside, bright and colourful park -like land, people too, two ladies who looked liked twins and other people were around
i came to a ledge high above the sea, i took off with the intention to fly, but it felt like i was falling instead, i decided to land safely on land and did so by landing on my feet on a path back at the park.
i looked around for a suitable horse to ride, i found one and i did ride it for a while, but it wouldn't go any faster than walking pace and so i got bored and got off.
i chatted to a guy that was sitting down for a while, he had had some accident and had presently lost the use of his legs
The lucid dream did continue for some while longer, i went down and out of some building, passing a black snake (someone was telling me i had done that wrong and now i was at risk from the snake) i didn't really take any notice, i continued on and past going through what seemed like someone's back yard,......
i know there was more, but i have no more memory
Notes
i think i was feeling that the dreamscape was limited and i was limited in what i could do and that it was nothing very special. i had a strong connection to my body asleep on the bed, so maybe the input of this was making me feel this as a limitation and a 'holdback' within my experience....... i'm not sure
Well, exhaustion or even just feeling a little down will do that to dreaming. I wonder if the man you spoke to was actually a spirit.
Hmmm, well i was feeling a little down, but no more than usual really,Quote:

i think i need to 'step it up' a little now and start doing or asking things that are more spiritually important, i usually only have enough awareness to do physical type activities and interact in normal ways and if i ever remember to ask of 'bigger' things, in the past nothing has happened or i lose the dream.
Hmmm, i'll have to take a look at things to do / ask when in OoBE and practice the thoughts in my head untill i remember them enough to do them once i'm dreaming.
See if i can get some more interesting things happening

>Also i have been spending alot of time in dreams with Tod, only they haven't been particularly pleasant ones, so maybe the dream me is not familiar withnot having Tod around and therefore being with Tod in this lucid dream was not unusual for me in a feeling sense.....
yes, though i rather would name it a bit different in that i think our dream-I`s do very well know that we as whole-soul-beings are never sperated from each other in last truth, so when we dream-meet a beloved being who has gone to the other-side our true-selfs just feel this natural as our true-selves never ever have lost this connection on an energetic/soul-level and so will not be surprised or perceive anything as "unusual".
Newfreedom:
>Perhaps he is with me more than i know, maybe i should feel and look for him more within my mind..
for sure I think so, not neccessarily but naturally as you both have become energetically such a close union. And anyway it takes time, i think somehow on both sides. Now after 5 years I only dream-meet my Aticat very rarely, cause I did/could let go, but in the first years I did regularily focus-exercises to connect me to him in the other world. Best way for me was this *gazing/peering*-technique, also described by Don Juan in Carlos Castanedas books, just looking without focus into the dark, being silent/meditative inside and without wanting to "see" anything. Our other animals in the house (who were missing Ati as well) did very often kind accompanie me sitting in the backyard, even sometimes somehow "showing" me that now is a good time and energy to go gazing+connecting, that was very mystical and comforting for me as well.

so in my eyes that in fact was an exit of an OBE but which was not conscious and the whole exit-process then was interrupted by your doubts about that you`ve already seperated from your body. Would you see/say the same?
You are having so many fantastic experiences, always great to read for me, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Ista, for this wonderful practical advice and help, i think i can do that 'staring thing' you mention tooQuote:

Yesterday was fun, i was having fun with the dogs, being active (for once!) in the house / garden and as a little grey clothes moth came flying out of somewhere within my room , my voice sang. said peapoose
This is just one of the many, many different names Tod, our dog was given by me and the kids..
Later that day i saw another exact same moth in the garden and my voice 'blurted out' PEAPOOSE.... ahahaha !
so i don't know what connection Tod has to 'clothes moths'...... but i do know as children our house would often get clothes moths living, nesting and eating our clothes, carpets and curtains...
This was well before Tod was born, 20 yrs or so.....
Anyway i was delighted to hear myself call out one of Tod's 'nicknames' and it allowed me to find slightly more peace with the situation of losing Tod.....
XX thanks Istia :toast:xx
1am -3am - non lucid dream
Disturbing dream,
physical enviroment of dream has so farc been unable to be brought back fully enough in my memory to write anything that could/ would be accurate or understandable..
Seemed to be about broken agreements, back-stabbing behaviour, let-downs, deceptiveness and sneaky selfish behaviours from others towards myself, i woke up very disturbed and it was such a relief to be awake and back here...
Hypnagogic
8.20 am
the scene was one i have seen from a film..there was a soldier who came to do his job of assasinating this man..... stabbing hm through shoulder into heart,
..... but then in my scene,
there suddenly becomes a discussion / disagreement between the soldier supervisor and his employee
'who will do this?, who should do it ? and whose job it should be...... the supervisor or the one being supervised
i woke up
Hypnogogics :wacky1:
1am -ish
Having a weak soultion (run out of) salt bath.......
I heard "that's my son" then "no it's not"
this appeared to be me speaking, there were also visuals, but these are vague in my memory, seemed to be someone passing or people moving around
-------------------------------------------
NB: In a this life situation i have been noticing similarities with how people look physically and also noticing facial expressions and innuendo's with the expression in others eyes.
The moving around people could be memories of shopping in Town, something i have been needing to do to maintain balance in my present state. I have been going nearly everyday for about a week, normally (over past 5yrs.) i would avoid leaving the house at all and absolutely hated having to shop for any reason.
xX:mrgreen:
Hi Newfreedom, peapose sounds like a very sweet name! :)
and a funny synchronicity is that i recently the first time have seen moths in our house, though after investigating for a while i now think they come from outside, cause the weather has changed and has got weird, its much more wet and humidity in the air and no more summer at all, strange.
Btw: absolutely agree about shopping, especially in crowds raaa ;) in past years I hated it so much, though since a while i go more often, which is a good exercise for me to stay relaxt in crowds, avoid too much sensitivity and also it strengthenes grounding i find.
greetings from istia
Notes
It's been quite a while since i have been lucid enough to choose what to do and make decisions in my dream. For a while i didn't have recall or memory of my dreams, then recently again i started remembering them and this morning i was lucid in one dream
I had some very vivid dreams before the lucid event and had woken up several times. One of the dreams involved someone giving birth, but they were in a fluid enviroment and the baby was colourful lights and energy first before it became physical..... very strange..... it's not often i remember strange dreams. Most of the dreams i remember seem to be mudane, normal stuff.
Lucid Dream - can't get out
Time: approx 10 am
I dozed back into sleep and became lucid standing in the bedroom of my previous house. Everything was black & white (i had recently watched i film depicting this) to begin with, but became normal almost immediately. I knew i was dreaming and so decided to try and fly through the window. It did cross my mind that if i wasn't dreaming then i could be in trouble as it was upstairs, but i was certain i was dreaming and so lauched myself towards the window. I only managed to smash the glass with my hand and that was as far as i got. I thought about going through the ceiling instead, doing a superman style exit, but i couldn't fly it seemed and I only managed to pull some of the ceiling material down.
Next thing i remember was being downstairs with my children and niece, they were young again, it was Xmas Eve (as it is today) and we needed to find out if the children were meant to be in school or not. I decided to use the internet and google it, i had great difficulty doing this as the words i typed in would not come out right........... it was at this stage i lost lucidity and fell back into normal dreaming
Notes
I realised on waking that the window i was trying to fly through in the bedroom, was not meant to have been there, in real life that wall had no windows. Interestingly during the dream, i had not realised this as everything seemed to be as it should have been. Also children do not go to school on Xmas eve, this is something else i should have known.
There are degrees of lucidity, of course. Might have been a simulation - you did have problems to solve within the dream.
How many children and how old? Could have been yourself trying to figure out if you wanted to do some development on your energy bodies that night or not. Children can act in this capacity especially if there are different age groups and three of them. Your own children and a niece could depict that you have a different relationship to one of them than to the others.
Maybe you weren't just up to it that time.
Thanks for both comments, interesting and thought provoking as always :-)
Well they seemed very young, but if they were in school, the little girls must of been at least 4 yrs, that would make my son about 7 yrs.
So 3 children:-
boy of 7 yrs ish (son)
girl of 4 yrs ish (daughter)
girl of 4 yrs ish (neice)
Lucid Dream event brings back a forgotten memory - Old orange sofa
Had this lucid dream a few months back.
My sister drove her car up my parents drive, she had a friend with her, next thing her car was in the living room.
i became lucid standing in the living room of my parents house (they are now both deceased and their house has been sold) My sister was sitting down now on the sofa, as was an auntie of mine and there was another person there sitting too (this could of been the friend out of my sister's car)
I told my auntie that what we were experiencing wasn't real, that we weren't really in my mums house as it had been sold. Then looking at the sofa, i said 'look even the sofa is not the right one' and instead of my parents most recent sofa being there in it's right place, the previous old orange sofa was there instead. At this point i started to become lost in upset and grief.... and so deliberately woke myself up as i did not want to go through the discomfort of 'greiving' yet again
Notes
On waking i was amazed i had seen the old orange sofa, i hadn't thought of it for years and had even forgotten all about it...
Hypnogogics / brief OBE
27/12/11 3pm ish
During the hypnogogic stage of an afternoon nap, i suddenly found myself standing on the pathway in front of my house facing the park, there were 2 bushes to my right without leaves on them - this is what caught my attention as 'not true to reality' (there are no bushes there) and instantly i was back, awake in my body again
Brief dream images / micro dreams
6/01/12 - 12.30 am ish
As i was falling asleep, i would immediately start to dream, but would then manage to wake up again and have some recall of what i had briefly been dreaming, experiencing, but much of my memory was faint and alot of what i had been experienced was also not retained on waking.
Here are the bits of dream memory i was able to bring back during the process of going to sleep
- There was an image of 2 men, sitting down and i think one of them was not being treated 'right' I heard the words 'the truth can come out for everybody'
- I was in a discussion with others about 'Sound'
- There was an image of what looked like part of an enlarged car number plate, which then seemed to become more like a T- shirt that a man was wearing, i was visually very close to this image, (like in my face) but at the same time i also experienced this man as a presence sitting beside me
Bit's of Lucid dream memory.
7/01/12 time: 10 am ish
I had a really long and clear lucid dream this morning, but unfortunately i didn't stay awake when i woke up immediately after it, so i didn't recall the details in my mind and have now lost much of the memory of the experience. But i do know that i really enjoyed myself while i was lucid and had a great time exploring and trying things out.
I can remember thinking about ending the experience, but decided to make the most of it and continued on with it.
I do recall waking up and the experience coming to an end, but i fell back asleep going back into another lucid dream, before waking-up and going back into another non-lucid dream
Notes.
I have recently downloaded Micheal Raduga's free ebook about OBE's and have been reading a bit from it
During my lucid dream i was able to try out some of his recommended techniques:-
Becoming Lucid
- Touching things around me to deepen the experience, increase lucidity
- closing my eyes to change my experience, location and when also passing through objects
i was standing in the lounge of my previous house when i became lucid.
I excitedly opened the door of the lounge that leads into the hallway, wondering what i would see there, it was similar in shape as it should have been, but was not it's expected colour, but all white. I inspected the room very thoroughly and as i was doing this, some coats then appeared hanging up.
i also practiced touching my surroundings, so as to deeper my experience and at the time i do think it helped to increase the realness and clearness of my experience. ( i also remember doing the 'touching objects' again, a bit later in the dream experience too)
After i had looked around the hall, i went through the only door that there was available, into another white room, i explored this room too, but my memory fails me here...
So the rest are just pieces of memory from my overall experience...
- I wanted to try closing my eyes whilst passing through a wall / closed door, to see if this could be done...... i closed my eyes while intenting to pass through the wall to the other side, i rushed through and whizzed out the otherside and when i turned around, opened my eyes and looked, i had indeed passed through the object i had intended to and was now outside this building.... cool!
- I decided to try and fly, i didn't feel like i would be able to do this at first, but it seems as if i got past this doubt and realised/ remembered how to become airbourne. I got caught up in the telephone wires to begin with (i always seem too), but i landed and then tried to become airbourne again with the intention that the wires would not affect me and this time they didn't. I rose up until i was quite high in the air, it was dark and i felt the wind blowing against my face and heard the air 'whooshing' past my ears..... exhilerating and freeing and i think my most favourite experience during lucid dreaming
- I decided to close my eyes and intend for 'a person i wanted to meet' to be there when i opened my eyes...... this didn't happen, but 4 people i didn't know were there now instead...
Notes.
- I closed my eyes again and this time I asked to be taken to see 'this person', i was thinking about spinning too (i am unsure whether i spun or not).... i do remember it didn't work, but i cannot remember if my location changed or not
It's a shame i was too lazy to wake up properly, so that i was unable to remember my lucid dream clearly and coherently, but even so, i was still able to bring back the most impactful parts of the experience, which i am still pleased about...
And you fulfilled a number of goals too, which is great progress.

Notes
I had woken up and got up for a drink, sorted the dogs out and went on the computer for a little while, before i decided to lie back down and drift into thoughts / sleep.
I read the post on the forum here about David Joshua Stone and in doing so, recalled i own 3 of his books, a bright blue, a grey colour and a pink one - ascension, beyond ascension and relationships...
Lucidity
I had a sense that i was in bed drifting in and out of sleep, so i was aware on some level of this fact, so during the dream scene i sort of knew i was dreaming, but without actually thinking 'Oh, i'm dreaming...' (which is what usually happens when i realise i am dreaming)
Dream Scene
I see a dressing table i don't recognise infront of me, on it is a blue book (the same blue colour of the ascension book i have by David Joshua Stone) I go over to the book to read it's title, there are words on the front cover of the book, but i can't make sense of them. I focus harder on reading the writing and as i do this, the words start to re-write themselves in front of my eyes -- Cool !
It's title said ' Buddha Up'
and underneath this the words 'Buddha starter kit'
There was quite alot of writing below what i had already read and i was about to start reading that also.... but other family members in the house were stirring and getting up, so the dogs that were now with me in my room, woke up too and started moving around, waking me up..
Brief Lucid Dream - Visiting my deceased parents house
I found myself on the road where i used to live as a child, this brought me to lucidity..
I decided to visit my old family home, knowing that my parents were no longer alive. As i was about to open the door, i let go of my expectation of seeing my mum... this obviously had a very strong impact on the reality that then met me.
I opened the back door and went inside and instead of seeing my mum, who seconds previously i had realised i was expecting to see at the kitchen sink, there was a young girl of about 8 yrs.
I told her i was just visiting and that i used to live in the home she was now occupying, other family members came into the dinning room, which now appeared structurally different than how it had once been.
The girl's father was friendly and pleasant and offered to show me around the now changed place, he did so and i remained lucid for some time, before falling back into a non-lucid dream awareness.
Notes
In reality there were structural alterations done to the home after it was sold, but not like the ones i was shown and experienced within the dream scene.
Hypna images & presence of my deceased dog
As i closed my eyes and rested, ready for moving into sleep i had feeling sense and visual motion of rippling waves of the sea coming up the seashore.... then suddenly i had the image of my deceased dog and his energy presence to the right side of me.
Tod loved the sea when he was alive and we had many, many magical moments as a family at seasides, walking, swimming and playing....:heart:x
Green Cockroach
Date: 3/02/12 Time: approx 6 am
This was a very impactful non-lucid dream with amazing clear memory recall…
The last few days i have been experiencing being able to be more self & life aware and more able to be ‘present’ & engaged & to have more of a choice of where to put my attention, which is a really nice change, again..
The dream seemed to mirror this in that it was very impactful, clear and deeply engaging, with the result that on waking it took a good half an hour before the influence & feeling of the dream died down to only being impactful when memorising & thinking about it, instead of continuously
A couple of things stood out within the dream story:
- I had left my children with their father’s side of the family, to go away to work or something, i had been away for some weeks, but strangely when i returned it felt like years, or that there was missing time or something… children were about 6 & 9 yrs, so 15yrs. of life had suddenly disappeared from within my dream life experience
- At one point, during a day out, the children had run off to play & i didn’t know where they were & i had a huge panic that they might be in trouble or danger & went racing off to find them.
- During this day out, i kept meeting many of my relatives alive & deceased ones & they all looked younger and so radiant… this part was heart-warming xx
- Towards the end of the dream, i was experiencing myself as i do when i become confused with memory loss after too many sleepness nights, i was quite distressed and relying on others help. Just before the dream ends, i realise i have dropped, lost something i had bought earlier at a stall, i cannot remember what this is, but i know it is gone, then i see the words ‘green cockroach’ written on the end of a wooden handle i am carrying, seems like the plastic bug has become unstuck & fallen off..
On reading the words ‘green cockroach’ i woke up..
When i came on my computer an hr later to write this dream experience up, what met my eyes on my yahoo news home page was the words – Giant Sea Cockroach !!!
Geez….. these cockroaches get everywhere! :mrgreen:x:wacky1:
Green Cockroach - Dreamoods Dream Dictionary
Cockroach
To see a cockroach in your dream symbolizes uncleanness. It also signifies longevity, tenacity and renewal. You need to reevaluate major aspects of your life. Alternatively, the dream represents an undesirable aspect of yourself in which you need to confront. A roach may also be a pun on smoking marijuana.
Colors
Colors in dreams represent energy, emotions, and vibes. First consider what that single color in your dream means to you and your own personal associations and relationship with that color. In general, pale pastel colors indicate weakness or subtlety. Dark colors represent passion and intensity. Bright colors mean awareness.
(green for me represents healing)
Lost Documents & Pretending to not notice
Date: 6/02/12 Time: 7 am ish
Notes
For the past few weeks, as part of my effort to become more aware with myself & life, i have been recording my non lucid dreams. Sometimes just a line or two.
I also have been making more effort to remember my non-lucid dreams, so as to be able to make notes about them.
The dreams i write of here were barely remembered by me, i had to put quite a bit of effort to store & remember them to begin with and then didn't manage to write them down until late afternoon, by which time, i had to once again struggle to try and retrieve them
Lost Documents - dream
Someone it seemed had been stuffing letters, documents of mine into the hedges around my home, i was searching and finding them..
Notes
When i later came to retrieve this dream memory to write it down, it suddenly 'hit' me that earlier in the day, i had indeed being looking for paper documents that i had mis-laid...but now needed..
...but not in the garden!! i was searching the house for them and i did find them...:-)...
Pretending not to notice - dream
I was in a room with other people, i was interestingly watching this one male person, in a non- obvious way (if there is one) having an awareness of him and knowing he had an awareness of me, but us both acting 'normal' and pretending not to have this awareness of each other.
Notes
I have been forced to 'deal' with this type of awareness around others alot in different ways over the last years. Before i began to regain awareness, i had blocked out this sense and also had blocked out the realisation that i had even blocked it.
For some time as a younger adult, i had no idea, i was completely disconnected and oblivious to any of it..... hahaha..... easy times, easy times.... :rolleyes:x
supervised doing it wrong toilets
Date: 7/02/12 Time: 7 am ish
Notes
I do not usually write up my non-lucid dreams, because they usually make no sense and trying to 'make sense' out of them to write up would make me feel uncomfortable, so i would never bother.
Today it seems a bit easier to think about the dreams, let them be as they are and still manage to find some understanding, value or meaning within them.
- So the place where the dream scene took place was overlapped by three places, the quarry where i walk the dogs, the local supermarket and some deep water...
- i was constanty going into places i shouldn't haven't been and was being supervised and encouraged to go back to the 'right' places
- i was given a bowl of cereal to eat and i went into and under the deep water and lost all the food, my thoughts were 'oh no, i shouldn't have done that'..... i'd made a mistake, done it wrong
- i needed to have a 'pee' and i am trying to find somewhere to go, there seems nowhere private.... there are 2 doors, i can't tell which is male or which is female..... a man advises me to use the toilets on the right as these are the children's and are nicer. It seemed there were male toliets and children's toilets, but no female toilets
Notes
I hope to add some notes later after i have looked up the meanings to some dream symbols and also give any understandings between my dream memories and my current now life experiences
the dream scene places:
- the quarry is a special place for me & my dogs - safe and supportive...
- last year during intense panic attacks i found myself needing to escape from my family home during the night and would often find a safe and balancing refudge in our local 'open all night' supermarket.
- As a competitive swimmer during my youth, i spent hours of my life in and under water, going under the water was a very familiar and enjoyable experience for me, though i'm not really familiar with really deep depths of water and am not sure i would find that comfortable either.
So these 3 places are supportive and comfortable energy 'spaces' within my physical life
Dream symbols -(Dream Moods Dictionary - i've only listed the revelent parts that could relate to these dreams of mine here)
There was 'nothing' for supermarket (and advice was to see 'market)
Market
To dream that you are in a market represents some emotional or physical need that you are currently lacking in your life. You may be in need of nurturance and some fulfillment. Alternatively, the market signifies frugality. (the advice was also to 'see' store)
Store
To see or be in a grocery or convenience store in your dream suggests that you are emotionally and mentally strained. Alternatively, the dream means that you are brainstorming for some new ideas or looking at the various choices out there for you. The dream may be a pun on something that is in "store" for you. It could signify the inevitable.
Underwater
To dream that you are underwater suggests that you are being overcome with emotions and are in over your head regarding some situation. You need to gain greater control of your life.
Quarry
To see a quarry in your dream indicates that you have dug yourself into an emotional hole.
Food
To see food in your dream represents physical and emotional nourishment and energies.
Mistake
To dream that you make a mistake indicates that you are doubting yourself in the choices and decisions you are making.
Pee (unrination)
To dream that you are urinating in public symbolizes a lack of privacy in some personal matter. Alternatively, the dream means that you are trying to establish your boundary and "mark your territory."
Toilet
To see a toilet in your dream symbolizes a release of emotions. You need to get rid of something in your life that is useless.
To see a clogged toilet in your dream suggests that you are holding and keeping your feelings to yourself. Your emotions have been pent up too long and you need to let go of the negative feelings.
To see an overflowing or flooded toilet in your dream denotes your desires to fully express your emotions.
Privacy
To dream that you have no privacy suggests that you are feeling exposed and unprotected. Perhaps there is something that are you trying to hide.

Pushing someone into another room
I saw an image of someone being pushed into a room wall and the wall being
pushed out, so that the room wall and this person then both ended up in the room next door.
I had the distinct impression that i was the one who had done the 'pushing'
At the same time as i saw the image, i also heard the thought - 'you've gone through to next door'

Notes
When i woke in the morning the only dream memory i had during the night of sleep was something about having dreams and recording them/writing them up.
Date: 10/02 Time: 7 am ish
I heard the following thoughts:
- i can't hear you (this was in relation to a subject i had just been consciously thinking over, before i dipped more into unconsciousness, so i understand the context of this thought)
- 'power to the people' (have no idea about this thought)
- 'don't wait for a lottery win' - then i heard Michael Jackson's song- Man in the Mirror (this 'heard' thought is connected to seeing a couple on T.V winning millions in the lottery, i feel i had this topic going on in a semi - unconscious way in my mind, before i then heard the thought and song)
- 'bit late, bit late for Easter now' (again don't know the context of this)

Cats & hotel room
We were in a hotel, we had 2 pet cats with us. During the night on 2 occasions, we left one in the hotel room and took the other one with us, to wherever it was we went. On the second night, the people at the hotel took our cat from the hotel room as they apparently thought we had left and abandoned our cat. (which we hadn't)
Dream moods dream Dictionary
Hotel
To see a hotel in your dream signifies a new state of mind or a shift in personal identity. You are undergoing some sort of transition and need to move away from your old habits and old way of thinking. You need to temporarily escape from your daily life. Alternatively, the dream may imply a loss in your personal identity.
Cat
To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. It also represents misfortune and bad luck. The dream symbol has different significance depending on whether you are a cat lover or not. The cat could indicate that someone is being deceitful or treacherous toward you.
Two
Two stands for balance, diversity, partnership, marriage cooperation, soul, or receptivity. It can also symbolize double weakness or double strength. The world is seen as being made up of dualities and opposites, as in the male and female, mother and father, light and dark, heaven and hell, yin and yang, etc.
Stolen
To dream that someone is stealing something from you indicates that you are experiencing an identity crisis or are suffering from some sort of loss in your life. Alternatively, the dream means that someone has stolen your success or has taken credit for something you did. Perhaps you feel that you have been treated unfairly.
Flying dream
lot's of us flying, bit like a day out and we all adventured by flying...
(Dream Dictionary)
"I'm Flying"
Flying dreams fall under a category of dreams known as lucid dreams. Many dreamers describe the ability to fly in their dreams as an exhilarating, joyful, and liberating experience.
If you are flying with ease and are enjoying the scene and landscape below, then it suggests that you are on top of a situation. You have risen above something. It may also mean that you have gained a new and different perspective on things. Flying dreams and the ability to control your flight is representative of your own personal sense of power.
In reality, we cannot really fly, of course. Thus, such dreams can be representative of things that are beyond your physical limitations. In your mind, you can be anybody and do anything.
Another way of interpreting flying dreams is that these dreams symbolize your strong mind and will. You feel undefeatable and that nobody can tell you what you cannot do and accomplish.
Such dreams are sure to leave you with a great sense of freedom.

Hypnopompic voice
Just as i was waking up, i heard my grown-up daughter call me.... 'mum'...
...it came from my own head space, so i felt sure she hadn't really called me in physical reality. (she hadn't, she was still sleeping)
Added Note: 24/02
i heard my daughters voice in this same manner twice more after this... and both times it was not her really calling me in physical reality. I was in various stages of sleep & sleepiness though both times.
Broken Ankles
I had 2 broken ankles, so was unable to compete in the upcoming swimming competitions. But i did have an awareness and sense, that i was no longer as fit as i once was and would not be able to do as well as i once had.
Notes
I did brake my right ankle when i was 11 yrs old...
Although in the dream i was obviously back in my younger days, there was a part of me that realised i was no longer this age or this fit anymore.
Dream moods Dictionary
Ankle
To dream about your ankles indicates that you are seeking support and direction in your life. Ask yourself where you want to be headed.
To sprain your ankle in your dream suggests that you are experiencing some obstacles or difficulties in your progress.
Notes
I am wanting to make big changes in my 3D life circumstances and i am experiencing my usual obstacles and difficulties in attempting to do this...
Taking Exams
There were exams coming up and i was worried, panicking because i hadn't done any studying
Dream moods Dictionary
Test Dreams
To dream that you are taking an exam, indicates that you are being put to the test or being scrutinized in some way. These dreams highlight some anxiety or agitation that you are experiencing in your waking life.
Test dreams also suggest that you are feeling unprepared for a challenge. Rarely, these dreams are about the actual content of the test, but rather it is more about the process and how you feel during the exam taking process. These feelings often parallel how you are actually feeling in a particular challenge or situation in your waking like.
Bus fall and carrying my young daughter
Date: 26/02 Time: approx 11 am ish
I was with the family on what appeared to be an open-top double-decker bus, we were going into town (we never did this in real life i had a car when the children were little and we never used the bus, now i have to use the bus - no car)
I was looking at pictures and reading a children's book with my daughter, whose age was about 2 to 3 yrs (i remember thinking, i had forgotten what it was like to do this, as i hadn't done it in ages)
Becoming Lucid
after a little while my daughter jumped up and as she did so, my instinct was to grap her, we both began to fall from the bus (no barriers?) she started to become distressed as we plumeted towards the ground......this caused me to become lucid
...as i now realised this was a dream, i said to my daughter, "it's ok, it's a dream we don't need to fall" and with that i stopped the falling sensation and we glided down slowly and safely to the ground.
The bus carried on off towards town with my son and his dad still on board.
For some reason i walked away from town and back towards home, i was carrying my daughter in my arms.
I told her that we were dreaming and that in real life she was now 21 yrs old. The surroundings were identical to how they are in 'real-time', it was a bright sunny and beautiful day and i enjoyed the experience of walking and carrying my young daughter once again in my arms.
We approached the corner shops and i realised i had no money to buy anything for ourselves. Feeling very much 'real' i doubted my ability to be able to suddenly manifest money and so decided against trying or engaging with the shops or people in a 'non-normal' way.
I asked my daughter if she wanted to visit her nanna, as we were at a road which would lead to where she used to live (i knew full well that my mother had passed-on and her home was now sold) i thought we could visit the childrens play park on the way there at least and it was a very, very long walk home for us otherwise.
i woke up...
Notes.
When i was reading the book, i was really reading the words on the page, the book was probably more for a child of 6 to 8 yrs. (on waking i cannot remember much about the pictures or what words i actually read)
What was strange was that my son was on the bus with myself and his father, we were all sitting together, but he wasn't paying any attention to the book, normally i would have expected him to have been there and interested too
The other thing i find strange and interesting is i did not take a look at what myself or my daughter were wearing. i saw and felt my daughter as 2 or 3yrs and saw her beautiful curly hair, recognised her young face and remembered the feel of her little body against me, but nothing else.
I felt myself carrying my daughter and feel my 'body presence' was as i was when my daughter was of that young age, but again i didnot look at myself. My mind was definately in a now perspective, so i guess i was experiencing myself and my daughter , as we both were 18 yrs ago.
Partial info. from Dream Moods Dictionary
Falling
Falling dreams are another theme that is quite common in the world of dreams. Contrary to a popular myth, you will not actually die if you do not wake up before you hit the ground during a fall.
As with most common dream themes, falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life.
You have lost your foothold and keep up with the hustle and bustle of daily life. When you fall, there is nothing that you can hold on to. You more or less are forced toward this downward motion without any control. This lost of control may parallel a waking situation in your life.
Falling dreams also often reflect a sense of failure or inferiority in some circumstance or situation. You feel shameful and a lost sense of self-esteem You are unable to keep up with the status quo and feel that you don't measure up.
Family
To see your own family in your dream represents security, warmth and love. It could also symbolize bitterness, jealousy, or rivalry, depending on your relationship with your family.
Alternatively, it could mean that you are overly dependent on your family, especially if the family members are in your recurring dreams .
Consider also the significance of a particular family member or the relationship you have with them.
Child
To save a child in your dream signifies your attempts to save a part of yourself from being destroyed.
Offspring
To see your offspring in your dream symbolizes an aspect of yourself that you are trying to nurture. The dream is telling you to take some time off so you can cater to the inner child within.
bus
To dream that you are riding a bus implies that you are going along with the crowd. You are lacking originality and control over where your life is taking.
book
To see books in your dream indicate calmness. You are moving toward your goals at a slow and steady pace. Books also symbolize knowledge, intellect, information and wisdom.
In particular, to see an open book in your dream means that you are able to grasp new ideas with ease.
Consider the type of book for additional clues. The dream may represent your calling into a specific field of work or an area that you need to devote more study to.
To see children's books in your dream symbolize memories from your own childhood. It may also suggest your desire to escape from reality and retreat into some fantasy world.
Reading
To dream that you are reading indicates that you need to obtain more information and knowledge before making a decision. You need to think things through and consider all you options.
Walking

I saw an image of a dog holding a small dead cat in it's mouth
Not nice!
I have no idea of the meaning of this, if there is one...
Dream moods dictionary (the useful bits)
Dog
- To see a dog in your dream symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity.
- The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success.
- The dream dog may also represent someone in your life who exhibits these qualities.
- Alternatively, to see a dog in your dream indicates a skill that you may have ignored or forgotten.
- Also consider common notions associated with the word dog, such as loyalty ("man's best friend") and to be "treated like a dog".
Cat
- To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power.
- It also represents misfortune and bad luck.
- The dream symbol has different significance depending on whether you are a cat lover or not.
- The cat could indicate that someone is being deceitful or treacherous toward you.
From the symbols above, I'd say you have an internal conflict between your logical and intuitive side, and the logical is winning.
That makes alot of sense ~ Thankyou :-)xQuote:

....then i became aware again of physically lying in my bed as i came back to my waking self

End of present Earth life Cycle
This is an interesting non-lucid dream segment i remember from last night's sleep time
i was watching someone being resuscitated back to life, i was watching from outside of the scene, but also able to experience what it was like being inside the body of the person being worked on.
It was like they were aware of their body and physical reality around them, but residing just out of their body and slowly loosing connection and association with their body and 3D surroundings as they were dying, it felt like a 'moving away, slowly sinking deeper' into somewhere else, that was something other than 'being alive in a physical body'
this person was asked if they still wanted to live,
they decided that they did and were then told to pull themselves back into their body by using the 'will to live', they did this and in this way i do believe they survived
That is very interesting, newfreedom.
Notes
Getting back into a more normal sleep pattern last night, i woke up after a few hrs. of heavy sleep because of nightmare type dreams.
I often get nasty,nightmares that cause me fear and terror when getting back into normal sleeping.
Though this time i HAVE been sleeping, but just not as many hrs. as i would if i was in a shutdown phase. So the 'non'-sleeping issue i have had does this last year, seem to have eased immensly (and hopefully cleared)

Nightmare type dreams - Crashing aircraft
There was a loud, roaring scary 'Voom' noise and i looked through the kitchen window, to see what it was. It was a low flying plane and it looked like it was going to crash, but it had passed over and was heading in the opposite direction. My ex-partner was outside.
Next moment, the sky is filled with crashing out of control aircraft and this time they are heading for us, for our home, some miss us,..... JUST !, others seem like they are headed right for us...
(i think i may have woken up then, but have no memory of doing so)
Re-experiencing my dog dying
i suddenly realise i don't know where Tod (my dying dog) is or how he is, i find him, he is in a terrible condition, worse than i ever saw him in, even than when in his last days of life, he is suffering terribly and i feel i will have to put him out of this misery and get the vet to euthanase him.
At this point some part of me knows that Tod is no longer alive and dying and i force myself to wake up to escape going through this once again.
Notes.
I woke up this morning in a different space, i am a little less sensitive, so not getting so deeply triggered by everything in life, so today has been much easier for me.
Seem to be falling asleep every time i rest, had 3 naps today so far.
Hypnogogic image - My young daughter
Had a lovely hypnagogic image at 5 pm -ish
of my daughters face at about 5 yrs old, the image was so clear and alive and her eyes sparkled with her expression as they always did..
It was so real it almost felt like a visitation, that my 5 yr old daughter had come to visit with me ~ i do miss those times xX
Notes.
I am not sure if these nightmares are caused by being 'messed' with or whether they are just necessary for me to clear more of my emotional baggage, but i dealt with these in a WSW way, just in case..
The airplane noise could be getting rid of some reactions to the projection reflex. It does sound like a roaring big noise - it reminded me of a rocket taking off once.
Recalling your dog's death could be indeed an emotional release.
The few times I suspected "being messed with" I could always detect the perpetrator.
Thanks for your understandings Korpo :-)
It was interesting that after dealing with the above nightmares as if these nightmares and myself had 'been messed with' i then went on to have 2 lucid dreams. One of these lucid dreams was quite odd, in that my behaviour was a 'bit off', so i felt i had been influenced in that dream too. (Still need to write these dreams up)
Unlike yourself, unfortunately i am not able to detect perpetrators and have to rely on another for this advice, my communication with my spirit teams or guess work.
I am often unsure if I or certain of my dreams are 'being messed with' or not and also then i still do have to wonder, if the 'messing' is sometimes done for my benefit, even if it doesn't always feel beneficial at that particular time.
Hello, newfreedom.
I wouldn't suspect "being messed with" unless you have a severe situation or can spot somebody doing it within the dream. Nightmares themselves usually have a cathartic function to help balance your emotional response. Having two lucid dreams right after seems to indicate this was the case.
The feeling of "being influenced" can also be present in any simulation - it would be the entity trying to guide you through the simulation and maintaining the whole state of consciousness. Detecting this influence is often possible for people before they can ascertain whether it's benign or not. Most people will then default to their usual responses to being influenced - which can range from wild resistance to ignoring it or just taking note of it.
Information about simulations and this feeling of "being messed with" can be picked from the following entries of Kurt's public Astral Projection Log:

Thanks Korpo, for your understandings and the links given, although i haven't been in a space yet where i've been able to read the links properly, i do hope to be able read them soon, in a way that i can 'take-in' what i'm reading to make good use of them ~ Thanks :-)
Still not managed to read the links (Information about simulations and this feeling of "being messed with) that Korpo kindly gave ~'sigh!'
BUT am keeping this page to write up a few lucid dream events i haven't yet written up....

Notes
As i was walking the dogs this morning at 5am around our local quarry, my 'dream broke' that is the physical activity / reality brought forward the previously forgotten dream memory.
Non-Lucid Dream ~ Camping out in Quarry
As i was walking along one of the usual paths i take when walking the dogs, i became aware of the noise of others being there, turning my head right to look towards where the noise was coming from, i could see some tents and people within the coverage of trees. This was unusual and as far as i knew prohibited, i continued on, walking with my dogs.
Notes
Although the path i was walking along was one of the usual pathways i would normally take, in this dream experience i was actually walking in the opposite direction than the current usual, i have walked this direction on this path before in real life reality, but have rarely done so since 'losing' my driving licence in 2009.
......and so i find it interesting & quite strange, that i found myself walking in the opposite direction (and that of the 'old' way) in this now recent dream experience :)xX
Added Note
During sometime in 2013 we began again to walk this pathway in the same direction as i was walking in this dream (this was to accomadate & not meet another dog walker who walks his dogs at the same time as myself)Quote:

This pathway is also the path where my little dog went missing in Aug 2013. missing dog
Interestingly enough i have also had 2 other non-physical experiences whilst walking on this very same path (hope to write a blog post sometime)
