CF's dream diary

[CFTraveler]

Didn't recall yesterdays, but here's some highlights of last night:
Had a long night of teaching and learning dreams. Either became lucid or was lucid the first part, but I was floating around in the dream and I asked myself, what was the use of this. I then 'learned' it was about controlling the energy body. As soon as I thought this I became heavy and had a hard time elevating. I tried in many ways to take off but just couldn't. I spent some more time figuring out it was a mental thing, that it wasn't in 'moving' the body but in directing it with my mind. Then I took off and started flying as I usually do, but with conscious intent. I then resolved to become conscious of this when in dreamland. I flew around some more, had some more dream adventures that I have forgotten, and lost lucidity. Then later on at some point I was in a teaching environment in which I was the teacher, and then in other environments in which I was learning the relationship of dream action and material world effects. I can't say that I remember any details, but I do remember that it seemed to take a long time for me to get some concepts, and others were just repetitions of stuff that I already knew (magic potions, spells and rituals).
In the morning there was yet more instruction, and some predictive statements told by a female entity about what was going to happen. Don't know if it's accurate, but if it is, it is good.

In the morning there was yet more instruction, and some predictive statements told by a female entity about what was going to happen. Don't know if it's accurate, but if it is, it is good.

I hope the predictions happen then, not just to have good things happen in your life but to get verification that dreams like this are meaningful.

From your mouth to God's ears.

Another intense learning dream night. I found myself dreaming something symbolic in one dream, and in the next dream, explaining to a dream character what the dream meant. Oh, and a small false awakening.
If details come back, I'll put them in.
I need to go back to using keywords.

Between six and seven am:
I was driving a van. Suddenly I felt a shadow, an oppression, and I knew something evil wanted to manifest. I had a bag with magical implements, and opened up a blue sheet in which I was going to bind the entity. I then opened up another sheet where I knew the entity was attached, and it had the marking of a little graphic of Picachu (yes, the Pokemon). It was embroidered in the fabric. I began to rub it and as I did the embroidered figure began to assume a 3D shape. I knew I was evoking it in that spot, and the plan was to find out what it was, what it wanted and then to dissolve it. (And no, I've never done anything like that in waking life). Then the alarm went off and I woke up to find that I was sideways with my finger rubbing against the bedsheet, like in the dream.
Then I got up.

We were driving in the highway and looked at the opposite side (to our left) of the road, when there was a huge flock of birds flying at car level. They flew next to us and when an approaching car came close, they would swoop upwards and then go back to car level. It was spectacular, and we were marveling at how they 'played chicken' with the traffic, when I looked up and saw a bald eagle flying overhead, and all of a sudden he plummeted down on the roof of our car and thumped the roof, then flew up again. We were amazed to see that there was some sort of animal (rodent?) on the roof of our car and he had seen it, come down and grabbed it. I could see his large talons as he flew up with prey in hand, and with a sort of global vision could also see the dent he left on our roof.
Then it merged into another dream,
In which we were driving to our old house (that we sold) and moving in there. We had brought our two cats, but in the old house our deceased cat was there, and she had another cat friend, and then our cats ran together with them. We settled in and watched them play together like cats do, chasing each other and running around.
After we spent the weekend there, we packed our stuff and came back to our house. We only brought the living cats back, left the other cats there. In my dream knowledge, I 'knew' that my husband wanted to live in both houses at the same time, and had devised a method to stay in our present house from monday to friday, and then we'd pack our family and stay in the old house, where my old pets were in a strange arrangement- they had a 'special' door in which they could come into the property that our living cats couldn't use.
At the end of the weekend, after packing and getting things ready for the week, we went to bed and I laid down next to my husband and told him "I don't want to keep going to the old house, I want to fully live in our house full-time". He then responded "you have bad breath" (sleep breath) to me. I then woke up in the same position as in the dream, except that my husband hadn't said anything.

Lots of dreams, last night. The one that I remember is (surprisingly) not the last one in the morning- this one was in the middle of the night (around 4am, technically the morning).
We were staying in the house I grew up in. (We being my present family). My husband heard some commotion outside, and went to see. Then my son and I were in the house. All of a sudden we hear screaming, people telling us to get out of the house. When we look out the front door and side window, we see fire three or four houses down the street. A fireman is knocking at the door telling us to get out. I tell my son to get his stuff, and we run out the door. I see that the house on fire is three houses down from us, too close for comfort.
I then wonder why my husband isn't hosing the grass and walls down, a standard thing people do when fire threatens. Then I remember that houses in PR are made of concrete and we shouldn't worry. We just stand there and watch the firemen putting the fire out. My hubby comes back from wherever he was and sees we're ok.
I wake up briefly and move on to another dream.
In the morning dream there is a name I'm given, that starts with J; I think it was Jacob. In the past couple of days I've been given names, not sure why, and I haven't written them down- too tired to bother.
ps. I know where the fire motif is coming from- a poster my son was working on yesterday which involved a background in flames, and the fact that I've been working with elements again in my hermetics work.

Two remembered dreams, nonlucid (but with 'life' memories in the second one)
I'm at war, I'm a soldier. At first it's traumatic and there is a lot of haphazard killing. Guys don't really know what they're doing, they're trigger happy. I'm worried they're going to kill civilians or each other. In the beginning I'm shooting at everything, no control whatsoever.
As the dream progresses I become more cautious, keep my weapon pointed up and move along clay walls and staircases with care, and manage to get into a building/stronghold/safehouse without weapon use, and unseen. i see others have gained control of themselves. I fade out and fade into another scene, with a limited memory of this dream, and full awareness of my present 'me', but not lucid.
Here I'm in a field, and I see a martial arts teacher, he is fat and old. He is teaching and I join the class. The place is dilapidated and the students are undisciplined. There is something wrong with him, he has lost the desire to teach 'the right thing'. I approach the scene and I see this is one spot in the middle of the previous scenery (warlike)- like an oasis in the desert, surrounded with bombs and artillery sounds. The area we are in is out in the open, although it is green with grass and trees. As I approach the sensei I see an old poster in a broken-down barn, and there is a poster of him when he was young, thin, in shape, and he's accompanied with two famous figures. I realize he used to be a trainer for important people, and has now declined physically and spiritually too.
I then approach him and he turns into a female (?) then I offer to hold the class inside my house, which is safe from the bombs. (?) She looks at me skeptically and the dream ends.
Note: The sensei was not anyone I know in real life, either aspect of him.
The 'safe' house was similar to my present house, but bigger.
I think there was lightning last night, so that may account for the warlike scenario. Maybe.

Woke up in pain, got up, walked around and went back to bed. Went to sleep in a position that didn't give me pain.
Started dreaming that I was going into a hospital. Had the awareness of 'another place' but not that I was dreaming. I was told by a 'doctor' that I had cancer. The doctor said 'we told you two years ago that you had cancer. Did you get treatment?' I told him that as soon as I returned to 'regular life' I forgot I had cancer so I didn't have treatment. He said 'well now it's too late'. I said something along the lines of 'If I stay here, will it progress, or if I stay ignorant of it will it just not exist?" and he didn't really answer me.
I woke up, disturbed about this dream (and about the one I had four years ago) and went back to sleep, and continued in the same 'place' with the same 'knowledge' that I was about to die. The alarm went off before I 'died', so I guess I'll have to see what happens next.

I spent most of the night having various kinds of nightmares. The "impending death" dream got mixed up with various other images, and a lot of it was confusing and chaotic.
Part of it was impressed by my receiving a note yesterday from a deceased friend- what happened is that her daughter sent me some pictures of all of us years gone by and she used her mother's address labels. When I got it in the mail it freaked me out a little, and once I opened it I figured out her daughter must have done it. To top it, one of the pictures was recent (from last week) and she looked a lot like her mother did when we used to hang out- sending chills up my spine. Like she was still here but not really.
Later on I found out that we had a major lightning storm last night and I slept through it. Apparently my hubby and son woke up with the very loud thunderbolt that made everyone else jump. They got up and turned the TV on, were up around an hour and then went back to bed. I slept through the whole thing, and knew nothing of it until my son told me this morning.
Weird. It didn't wake me but it sure gave me nightmares with explosions too.
