CF's dream diary

[CFTraveler]

Recurring dream, or two that mixed together. Started out in the environment in which I had to get through water to get to my car to get to work (was in some sort of pier). After going through a lot to get into the car I was transported to a previous background, involving my grandmother's house and the house I used to live in, something about kids going on a shooting spree, and then finding out they were harmless, then back to my mother's house in which she was angry at me and refused to talk to me. This went on for a while and I was back in the water environment, where a male 'in charge' had asked me to make flowers with the material provided by whoever provided it. I made lilies, and when he went to check he was not happy because he had asked me to make roses, but I explained that I was not provided the parts for roses. He then went away, and when I went to my car, anticipating the problems getting to it through water again (I did not want to get wet now) I found that it had moved to dry dock and made it easier to get into.
Then I went back and forth to my mother's house a few times, and soon woke up.

Two nights of sparklies.
The night before last night I dreamed that superimposed on whatever I was dreaming about, there was some sort of 'fairy dust' like tinkerbell's fairy dust. Later on, when I woke up I was seeing this type of tinkly-starry-type stuff- kind of like the starry void hypnopomp but moving and more abundant, just like fairy dust being thrown by tinkerbell, or as if you were moving through a cloud of the starry dusty stuff.
This morning I woke up to this hypnopomp again, I don't think I've ever had repeating vision screens two days in a row before, and I don't think I've had this particular type before.

The 'whatever' you were dreaming about would be helpful; would color the meaning of the underlying experience. I understand hypnopomp is not a dream phemomena - usually a precurser to a dream - different brain activity. So I am puzzled. Never-the-less fairie sparklies have to be wonderful in any way; singaling a new vision or 'tools of power'.

I would be very encouraged.

I got up around 5am and went back to bed.... Then I was in a very spooky place, in the 'front porch' scenario where I'm 'inside' and the dead are 'outside'. I looked at the dead, which were closer to me than before, but none of them looked familiar. I took this as good news. Later we were on a boat, me and my two children in the dream. We were going through a river that was 'creepy' and fantastic. (The Styx, I think?). There were various boats on the river and we were going downriver when I recognized a couple I know in another boat. I also saw that there were other people acting terrified of whatever was in the grass on the banks. Some people began to get off their boats and walking (wading, the water was shallow) away in the mist. I lay on the boat, covering my children, and someone draped some kind of gauzy covering over us. I could hear screams and wails, and then I saw a large clawed finger get under our cover, and peek in. At this point I was terrified too. The eye that looked in did not look mammalian. Or human. Then 'she' lifted the veil and I could see the most beautiful dragon-y looking being, who radiated love and compassion, and a little bit of mirth (thought it was funny we were so scared of her). She wasn't of a color you'd expect a dragon to be, her body was of colors I can't describe- so fantastic (but not cartoony) shimmery and bright- and beautiful! She welcomed us to this realm and introduced herself. Then she pointed at my daughter, who was sitting on my lap at the time, and said her name. The little girl seemed to be about four years old and talked, called me momma. Had long dark brown hair and coppery skin. I was shocked and started to wake up. Some of the people on the boat came back and said things like "I can't believe what I have learned". Then I woke up.

First I want to disclose that I've been working on a translation of a book on chinese medicine, which obviously informed some of this' dream snippet.

I was in a building, square, with all four walls made of glass. I think I was in a high floor or at least a fourth floor. I was standing in front of the east window, trying to capture the chi coming from the east. Because of the transparency of the walls, and the height, I felt exposed. The sky was bright blue, it was a beautiful day. A great wind flew through me, and some other thing happened, which I have forgotten. It was something impressive, maybe gigantic, and a bit intimidating, but I can't remember what it was.

New form of recurrent dream. I'm working, am close to figuring out a repair. Then my boss comes in and wants to redo my bench, starts taking it apart and structures disappear. Then I lose my shirt and can't find it. Then it's lunch time and someone is going to get me some while I look for my shirt. In the middle of this, my mother comes into the shop and she's wearing a victorian gown I have seen in pictures of my great-grandmother. She looks very young, like her teens, but the dress is incongruous. I embrace her as if she were my sister, since she is younger than me. Then I realize I was wearing my shirt under a dress I'm wearing the whole time. Then I start putting together my bench and the memory of how to fix the thing I was working on comes back to me and I start putting it together. Then I wake up.

First dream, recurrent.
I'm at my old new job, sitting on a bench repairing some equipment. My boss is somewhere else in the room, and I'm wondering why I romanticized it previously. There is no 'special' feeling that I used to get in previous 'old job' dreams about this. Maybe because I'm busy and have no time to think about stuff. I wake up, use the bathroom, go back to bed and go into the next dream.

Dream two:
Recurring scenario, new details.
I'm in some sort of amusement park. The recurrent theme is the 'conveyor belt' effect, seeing people go through a 'conveyor' apparatus, and myself going though it. I usually get hung up on it or fall from it or something like it. This time something different happened.

I'm inside a room that's part of a 'water slide'. I see kids jumping in and going down or up or wherever the slide takes you. I jump in. In the middle of the slide I have an OBE in which I find myself back to the beginning of the ride. (I'm obviously not lucid.) Then I tell the other people in the entrance that I had an OBE while in the ride and I'm 'up here' again. I then realize I'm 'up here' (although I'm physical and interactive) and my body is supposed to be in the apparatus. I then jump in again, but now I have the actual experience of going through the chute. I first go down, then up in a watery loop-de loop in which I end up going down with the chute on top of me, and wonder at the impossibility of this, and end up in some realm in which there is some sort of a 'convent/church/religious institution' inside of it. I step off, walk around, talk to a few religious personages about religious stuff, then get on the chute and finish the 'trip'. At the end, as I'm stepping off the room and walking out the door, I see hundreds of kittens that are forming a line (cute little kittens) from outside to inside a room with the door half-closed. Someone tells me these kittens are on some sort of pilgrimage to help their mommy through some difficult situation. I notice the kittens are holding certain things in their muzzles, like cotton balls and other things, like food. I wonder at this, step outside (to see more kittens looking for helpful things) and wake up.

In the past few days I've had a lot of 'swimming' dreams.
Last night a pool was featured at the end, but the 'body' of the dream started out somewhere else.
I was in a restaurant with my "family" (these people were not my present day family, not sure why).
We were discussing an inheritance we had received. Or rather, one of us was in control of. When I ordered my meal (which was a very small thing) the waiter threw my napkin on the floor. When I bent down to pick it up he snatched my meal (it was supposed to be some sort of salad but all I could see was some honeydew squares on a plate, and I didn't even get to taste them.) I complained and he shrugged me off and then the bill came. It was for an astounding $750 dollars. I was told by these people that my part was $400 dollars. I protested that I didn't have that kind of money, and if we all had inherited the large amount of money they could take it off my inheritance. We then walked down a corridor of the place we were at, it was some sort of hotel. But when I got to the part where there was some sort of cul-de sac hallway (with four rooms around the circle) the center or the circle featured a large pool that had been constructed in the center. It was immaculately done, and I was thinking it was very clever (in reality it was very weird), and I woke up as I was admiring the clear blue water.

The night before last night a lovely dream about the ocean (recurring with a different ending).
We moved by the beach, and I was looking forward to surfing in it. As usual, something happened to interrupt this, but instead there was a boat, and we went sailing instead. The foamy water felt good, as we got wet with it (but no immersion.) I woke up happy.
Last night, a horrible nightmare which I won't recount, except it had a "happy" ending.

[CFTraveler]

Three dreams, not sure if in the right order.
It was nighttime and I flew to the beach (it may have been a projection, due to the 'realtime' state of the moment) I launched myself in the water, and swam happily. Then (now we're on full dream mode) I see my mom on a boat. I get on the boat and we start riding around in this waterway, you can see the city on one side and roads on the other. We have a good time and then she drops me off on a pier. I think I wake up and get up and go back to bed. Back to sleep. Now I'm in a room that does not resemble any room in the present, and not really in the past. My cousin and I are sleeping in a room, in separate parts of the room (she and I grew up together as children, and we slept in bunk beds, so it's different than our childhood). Once again, it's still dark. She wakes up and sits up in her bed (she is by the window, I'm by the wall next to a door) and says "my mom told me your mom is coming over." (Both our mothers are deceased, her mom a long time ago, my mom recently.) I wonder how she knows, and go back to bed. Then I wake up for real. There is a third dream involving my mother and my grandfather's house, but this one is fuzzy. It melded my own (modest) house with my grandfather's (fabulous) house and the house I grew up in (also modest). My mom was in this one maybe in the kitchen cooking something, but our conversations are kind of fuzzy, I was taken with the architecture of the place, as I often am in dreams.
