I think I'll take versau_miracle's lead and keep all my dream ranting to one thread. I've been having, not really recurring dreams, but recurring themes and settings. The setting of some sort of rec center or public place keeps coming up. The theme of swimming in the wintertime, and somehow needing to get into the water because it was going to be better than the air, keeps coming up. Also, a guy was in a few...a guy who was my friend for a while and then we started seeing each other and he freaked out about it and now can't be my friend at all...and i really miss his friendship...he'll be in there and we'll be buddies again (not together, just buddies) and i'll be disappointed when I wake up and realize its not true. Anyway, that's all for today. What do you think?
Stayed on a friends couch last night. that's usually a recipe for weird dreams. Wish i remembered more, should've written them down but every time i woke up they were just so damn interesting that i wanted to get right back to them. Anyhow, here's the bits and images I remember. I'm in my grandmother's house with some other family members, and the house eventually becomes a different house altogether, with lots of people there, lots of children, and tons of dogs. I end up spending the night and all the toilets end up getting clogged because of all the people staying there at once and its gross and i want to leave so i can change my clothes, use a bathroom...real practical stuff, but i keep getting held back for some reason. At some point in the house there is some conversation in which a friend of mine who doens't speak to me anymore is brought up. In my waking life, I really thought I had let go of being concerned with this, but it my dream, when he was brought up, it still really bothered me that that person got to still be in contact with him and I didn't. THere's a part on the water on like a party boat, i think my dad is there, maybe my mom (they live on the water and a lot of party boats come down their canal). I'm at the back and we're backing into a slip what seems like WAY too fast, and i'm the first person going in, but even though it seems like we're gonna crash we dock perfectly. In another part I'm laying down with my head against a wall looking up There are these two giant mythical bird creatures...the size of horses. THey're being called "owls" but these are no friggin owls. There's also a real owl in it for comparison...and there are NOT that. Nevertheless even though they're imposing nad intimidating they're good forces. Then this bat swoops over, down low (even smaller than a bat actually is). It has these awful glowing eyes and i foget what its purpose was to do to me, but it was NOT good. Towards the end I'm looking through a pamphlet on hostels and cheap places to stay. I'm supposed to begin in Madrid at a place called "Tyrca" (don't know if it exists) and go on this walking journey. I see a map in my dream and a line that moves accross the path, travelling northwest fromj spain, into france, then germany, etc, through europe. Then I wake up.
You know that dream i posted about the giant looming owls? I'm reading this book (started after i had the dream) and it is written by a shamaness about her apprenticeship with her teachers and one keeps telling her "your moods make owls". THat struck me, but i can't quite get a handle on what it means. I don't think she can either. Hopefully by the end of the book one of us will figure it out! Last night I dreamt about having a car accident. there was a can in front of me and i was kind of riding a little too close on their tail, then they slammed on the breaks on the highway and swerved in and out a few times all crazy, and i hit them. i remember the guy from the other car was nice and got out to see if i was ok and i asked if he was and he got into the passenger seat of my car to talk to me while we waited for help, but the whole time i was kinda wary that maybe he would turn on me and we'd end up having a nasty fight over whose fault the accidnet was. Then i was in a classroom under lots of stress about an assigment not done that was important and i was trying to do it as class was already in session. my alarm went off a few times and I pressed snooze still half asleep. In my dream, getting up meant stopping the homework and i couldnt do that cause i needed to get it done and i was so stressed about it. then i realize that i am in fact late for work and there is no assigment. And i thought i was being a good little doobie! Hopefully my post doesn't bug anyone and maybe i'll get some brilliant feedback one of these days?
