Re: Dreams

dream: i was being jumped at by a cricket, it was persistent but not menacing, i kept jumping at me like it had an urgent agenda, it would jump at me fall back to the floor and jump back at me like an excited puppy but more earnestly like it wanted my attention. i tried to get it away from me by hitting at it with a single spaghetti thin stick, the spaggetti broke and the cricket jumped onto my nose(or was it my shoulder) and just looked at me.

any insights?

(if it helps is was a bright green crickets with red lines on its throax, just run of the mill cricket but it looked shiny and very healthy, but when it was on my nose, or shoulder i felt it was not malevolent or benevolent, just insect, like it was the universe.)

Re: Dreams

I've been unable to remember my dreams lately, but Observers post had similarities that just made me remember 2 of them.  I'll post them here just for the sake of doing so, even though most of the details have undoubtedly been eroded by now:

1) (morning 11/29) Black spider with yellow stripes was making a "chirping" sound in my bedroom - it seemed to be calling out to me, trying to say something.  It moved around, keeping its distance but remaining visible.  It walked on the tips of its legs, holding its body well above the floor.  This is all I remember, for now.

2) (morning 11/28) Someone was trying to take my hand and tug at me, pleading for me to go somewhere with them.  Probably female.  Very determined that I come along.  Don't remember if I ever did.

To me, spiders stand for: spies, traps, and wisdom;
yellow brings thoughts of caution, warning, attention;
not sure what to make of the spiders specific style of walking, or the person pleading for me to go with them!


Observer:  I'm unable to offer anything about your dreams without knowing what significance crickets or spaghetti have in your mind.  What do they symbolize to you?  Also, bright green?  Do you mean a grasshopper, or was this really a bright green cricket?

Re: Dreams

Ok, here's my stab at pointing out the obvious.  Aside from this forum, we (the particpants or posters) don't really know each other and are not geographically close and probably our main thing in common is that we are investing energy into looking higher.

So, looking at the last number of posts, something's (or someone) trying to get our attention, yea?

Whethere it's a spider or a cricket or a person pleading with you or a statement in a strange language... certainly seems to be a common thread. 

We'll know more when we need to.  In the meantime keep pondering, keep putting energy into your quest and keep open, to the good.  smile

Re: Dreams

New Dream:

I am running from an old "friend," Adam.  I'm with a female friend who is wounded.  Adam is shooting at us.  We're hopping fences and darting through yards in my childhood neighborhood.

It goes on seemingly forever.

At one point, I leave my wounded friend on a woodpile and turn back towards Adam.  He is smoking a cigarette.  Somewhere I find a hand-axe.  There is a propane tank next to him.  I hit the tank with the axe and run.  His cigarette ignites the propane, but he escapes, burned.

The chase goes on. 

Finally, I turn around and ask him (Adam, my pursuer), "Are you just chasing me to chase me now?  You're not going to hurt us, are you?"

He says, "Yes," [it's all a game]. 

I awaken.

Re: Dreams

Finally decided to post my three dreams involving the blonde 'girl' as I was encouraged by this thread -

http://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=2566

These all happened about 3 - 4 months ago.

#1 'DARK MALL PRISON'

I was with a group of people who I knew (in the dream) and we were going to this mall to shop. We go in this one store right by the outside entrance/exit to the mall - it's like a 'Gap' and a kids makeup store wrapped in one. I remember thinking 'wtf - I don't wanna shop here'. There were about ten people waiting in a line in front to go on this weird carnival style ride that takes passengers from the front of the store around the entire store and back again. One man from my party (who looked like John Goodman or whoever from 'Rosanne') went to the line to wait for the ride, so I decided to just walk around and try to blend in until my party decided to leave that wretched place. So I did.

And here's something I didn't mention - there was a sense of emptyness in the store, people were walking around like zombies shopping, I didn't interact with any of them.

Anyway, I decided to leave. When I walked out of the store, before I left the mall, I noticed that the whole mall was dark - no lighting (except for inside the store we came from - and no I didn't see any other stores, just darkness) - and there were Christmas decorations everywhere in the mall.

But here's the beef. As soon as I walked out of the 'Gap' store into the mall, I was INSTANTLY disoriented to a sever degree - I could barely walk - it felt as if my spine could not straighten, but was stuck in some perpetual discombobulated, curved state. So, as I continued on, stumbling, staggering, falling into walls, I made my way to the doors leading outside. Once outside, I make an immediate left towards my perception of my partys vehicle and very soon I realize that I'm not going to make it - I begin to fall to the ground and as I do, she appears and catches me. She is tall, blonde, thin and attractive and she is communicating with me through my mind. I grab onto her so as not to fall down and as I do I witness something peculiar. My right hand touches her on the front center of her chest and I get a close up glimpse of her torso - there is a long indentation ridge from the center of the chest down to the waist area - and no navel that I remember.

She is telling me in my mind to come with her - to where I do not know but I DO know that the first place she would have taken me would have been back into the mall. I seem to have the knowing that she wants to take me home with her . . .

I decline and then my party comes out heading towards our vehicle. I lagged behind, following, as we had (strange) plans to go to a warehouse/jobsite and go on another ride (!!!) . As I followed them towards the parking lot, I felt an overwhelming sense of . . . lightheartedness?? . . and started jumping very high (20-30+ feet) with each step. I was jumping so high that I had to really concentrate to stick the landings so as to not hurt myself. So high that I got butterflies when I fell back down and was almost scared to land.

Then we all got into the vehicle and went to some warehouse/jobsite where we went on an indoor carnival style ride just like in the 'Gap' store!

Re: Dreams

#2 COUNTRY ROAD PRISON ESCAPE

I find myself inside of a small cage/holding area in a building and I'm right by the front door exit that goes out front. So, naturally  big_smile  , I escape. I think I went through the wall or something. There was another man with me in the cage, and I'm pretty sure I got him out too. But after we got outside, he didn't come with me.

When I get outside I go across the street where there's another building and a man walking to his pickup. (We're in the country and there's road going down betrween the two buildings.) I basically take this man's pickup from him and once I get in it, I have a choice. I know if I go one direction (towards the curve) they will catch me because they will expect me to go that way. So (even though I don't know where it leads) I decide to go the other direction.

So, I'm driving along in this pickup and POOF! She's there sitting in the passengers seat. A thin, attractive, blonde woman. She begins to employ an ermm . . unmentionable method of distraction.

After that, we get to where the road apparently leads. It's some man-made  resivoir area and apparently a dead end as far as the road leads.

#3 SCHOOL PRISON ESCAPE -

I find myself in a school were all the people are going to class. I'm in the hallway and kids are all going to class because the bell rang. I do not go to a class because I do not belong there - I know that it's a prison because there are no exits, so I start running around looking for a way out. I go to a couple empty classrooms trying to get out a window and finally I do. When I get outside I run to the front of the school and get into a car in the driveway to drive away. But as soon as I try to drive away, it becomes 'school's out' and the driveway is packed with cars (I can't drive out) and all the kids are outside the school going to their vehicles. So, I try to drive over the grass or something to try to get out and I look in the back of the car I'm driving and . .  POOF.  hmm  She is laying there in the back of the car in a seductive pose, trying to descract me.

Re: Dreams

Dec 13

Dream.  It was kingdom-time in days of yore.  Or was it not now?  Our kingdom was being invaded by another, the "Ohms".  We were to go out and meet them at the gate between our kingdom and theirs (the gate was just a door with an Ohms/Omega symbol on it).  This gate as it turned out was only a couple hundred miles away from where I live in real life.  If they didn't back down, there was to be war. 

We were unfocused and leaderless.  Most of the troops did not even go out to the gate; they just stood around.  Once I found out why we were called, I came back from the gate and grabbed the mic at some sort of festival deal, and spoke to the troops.  My tone at first was rushed and out of breath; then it was gradually more relaxed and confident when I could hear myself speak.  I told the men that there was an order to march two by two to the gate.

They went.  Apparently when I went to the gate this time my feet were not so heav; my stride not slow as before.  I found myself in a sea of soldiers on my side, maybe hundreds or even thousands - but the problem was the ones on my side were not into the battle.  They were young men, who had apparently neither passion for truth nor zeal for life.  They were good technically, and fantastic at video games and training.  But it's almost like they 'did not care'. 

So I found myself standing the closest to their leader who happened to be a female.  I could not see any of her troops and got the distinct impression that we could rout these bastards and prevent them from taking our territory if only we would stand up and fight in force.  When she approached and began speaking, I was conscious of my low brow and scowled look directed at her.  I felt she 'mistakenly' thought me the leader, as I was closest to her.  I could not believe what was happening; where was our own leader?  She started speaking about how fantastic their society was and spoke as if her words were dipped in honey and sweet spices.  I shuffled back a bit self-consciously, so as to indicate that I was not in fact the leader here. 

Her 'cunning linguist' speech ended, as if to ask what we thought.  "Intoxicating," was my reply, in my best British accent.  Our troops laughed a bit.  She focused in and asked me what I meant by that.  I seemed to arise and wouldn't back down now.  "I mean how good and desirable you make sound your MIND CONTROL propaganda," I said sharply. 

She looked at me point blank and shot me in the chest.  I looked down at the wound, back up at the troops who were still not at arms.  "Guys... get her...!"  A half-hearted attempt by our troops ensued.  She was not killed.  My wound in the right side of my chest started to bleed.  I had two darts at my disposal (those were our weapons, it seems in addition to our guns - red and blue darts). 

The first dart missed.  The second hit her right in the middle of the neck/throat.  Her neck was now so thin, like the thin part of a baseball bat, and she was standing sideways at the time.  I'm not sure if it killed her.  Now there were others there to help her, but it's not like they were good fighters.

I walked back to our territory.  My black shirt was now quite bloody.  Others saw my wound and were incredulous, but at the same time were not compelled to fight.  I strangely felt that I was not dying yet.  I was however broken by the meaninglessness; the apathy and unwillingness of others to FIGHT what would surely be, a winning battle.

Re: Dreams

Had another one of those 'jumping' dreams like in post #147 above. Except this time I was empowered in that I was not worried about hurting myself when I landed. And also I seemed to immediately know that I had this ability to jump high into the air and that the ability was made possible by the state of the weather and the air being so light around me. It went like this -

I was in a neighborhood (now that I think of it, it seems almost exactly like the street intersection where my friend lives on the other side of town). It was completely overcast and had begun to drizzle. I was outside on a sidewalk and was walking down this street in the dark night. I feel the air is SO light (as is usually normal for this type of weather) that feel myself almost 'drawn' higher or lifted off the ground and this gives me the realization that I could jump off of the ground and that I would travel a lot higher into the air than usual. And I know this is because the air is so light so as to not impede my movements. At the moment I realized I could do this, I KNEW I could do it and there was no question of whether it was possible - the only question was what to DO with this ability. I looked around at the many houses around me and at the clouds covering the streets at a very low level. I walked straight out towards the corner of the intersection and jumped straight up as far as I could. I seemed to know that I would break through the cloud cover and I think I wanted to see what it looked like up there. I soared up and above the cloud cover and viewed the clouds from above before coming back down and landing at about the other side of the street.

At this point I think I had decided to go and break into someones house and take something - food I think. I know this would be easy to pull of since I could just jump out of sight or wherever if anybody saw me. (In fact I could just jump myself down the street and get away.) [Keep in mind this was not a lucid dream.] I turned around and there were two compact cars in the street that had been turned around like they had been in an accident but they were not damaged at all. I thought this a bit strange. Then I turned and jumped over this fence to get into some guys yard. This guy had a small house shaped like a gazebo with a small 'hut' portion on the top of it. I went and jumped onto the top of the gazebo part and it made a small 'thud' sound. I stopped so as to keep the noise to a minimum since I was still trying to figure whether the person was at home or not. I crawled around the front to try to figure a way into the house and at one point the guy came out to check and I had to hide in some tall grass over by the side of the house. He went back inside shortly.

Then I must have somehow realized that I didn't need to steal any food because I'm pretty sure I just conjured 2-3 bags of food out of thin air at this point. So then I had the food and I left the guys yard (by jumping over the fence again).

Re: Dreams

Cool dream Xenopope.  I am especially glad you posted it because in the frist few lines of reading it, I remembered the dream I had last night.

I was flying, horizontally (kind of like neo-style), crossing water I think.  I got to the other side of the water, I think my family (at least my dad) was around.  They didn't think I could fly, and I think there was some ppl that were slightly annoyed.  But it felt really cool.  Like I was (am) just learning.  So I had to focus a lot to keep it going.  It's my second dream in a month like that, with the horizontal flying.  The first one I was escaping out of a window.

Re: Dreams

It was in a friend's house, a friend I went to high school with but who I rarely if ever talk to the last few years (get became catholic and got married, and we lost touch.  He became catholic because the girl who he fell in love with was catholic). 

It was the 2nd storey of the house.  I think my dad was there too, or around in any case.  I kind of "lightly dived" out of the window, in a downward direction at first, arms at side like neo.  I went in the downward direction first to make it under the lowered overhang.  Then, as I was able to focus, I made myself into an aerofoil-type thing on the wind to stay aloft, flying horizontally.

Sounds weird huh. smile

Re: Dreams

Dream - Thursday night:

A former friend of mine was having connection problems, computers were involved so when I woke up I assumed it was an internet-connection problem.

Real life, Friday night:

I was staying at a friends house, took the computer up to my bedroom there (which was formerly the bedroom of that former friend in the dream) and hooked it up.  Uh-oh.  No internet!

Yep, dreams seem to be back on track now.

Re: Dreams

Last night I dreamed I was back in by grandmother's neighborhood where I lived before. I don't recall seeing her but I do remember being inside her house with some other people and being outside her house and driving away from the house and out of the neighborhood. I also remember being inside of a convenient store.

Today when I checked my mail, I had recieved an invitation from my mother to return to that very neighborhood to attend the gathering for grandma's birthday.
