If you are new to Electric Dreams, please see our January 2001 issue for an introduction and guide to dreaming online. http://www.dreamgate.com/dream/ed-backissues ---------- We have a very large section this time on the computer dreams that have been coming in over the last few months and while I am not re-printing all of them here, I am including the lion's share. Researchers that need the full collection can contact me for the raw data and many variables not included here. These dream are more for "eyeball" statistics and pre-research ideas on the changing dreamscape of computers, cyborgs, robots, borgs, androids and other human-machine concoctions. It is quite fascinating how the computer has leapt into both our waking and dreaming lives. Are these dreams, as some feel, simply an appearance and reflection of our concerns about computers in the waking world, or is it, as the inner world explorers suggest, a new symbol that is rising up from the depths to give us new meaning and value in life? Or are they something else quite unexpected? Be sure to read my introduction and then look through the dreams for yourself in C.o.m.p.u.t.e.r D.r.e.a.m.s The excerpt from Lucy Gillis's "Lucid Dream Exchange focuses on the possible transmutations that you may have not considered in a lucid dream. "When lucid, many of us enjoy transforming our dream environment at will. But how often do we think to transform dream bodies? This piece, "My Mutable Dream Body" is by one of the more interesting pioneers on the extreme edge of dreaming, Linda Lane Magallon. Linda is well known for her book __Mutual Dreaming__, her contributions to the Association for the Study of Dreams and BADG, the Bay Area Dreamworkers Group, and the DreamNetwork Bulletin. She has further developed other areas of dreaming including proactive dreaming, psi dreaming, and many forms of non-interpretive dreaming. Be sure to read how Linda teaches dream figures about beliefs. Speaking of beliefs, Scott Hughes has been championing dreams and fantasy for some time and exploring beliefs. In his 1993 book __INNER LIGHT: Your Fantasies and Dreams__ Scott writes, "…we each came from the dream world when we were born, and when we die, we return." In the meantime, we get to visit this place in our dreams and fantasies and make essential changes. Scott has developed further tools for exploring and enhancing one's belief systems through the IdeaPyramid, which is now online with a digital version of Inner Light. More about the philosophy of the IdeaPyramid will be out this summer in a film by Tamara Gurbis and Digital Asylum films. In the article below, Scott has offered us a transcript from a recent workshop that he gave on fantasy and dreams. Be sure to read "Your Fantasy and Dream Thoughts are Important." Speaking of the News, our news directory, Peggy Coats, from dreamtree.com, has gathered dreaming news from around the world, events, conferences, and seminars. It also includes a special letter from the Association for the Study of Dreams Membership Chair, David Gordon that I would like everyone to read. If you have news items about dreams and dreaming for Peggy, send them to her at pcoats@dreamtree.com Our dream-flow Dreams this month come from all around the Net and have been organized by the software developed by Harry Bosma. Be sure to look through the dreams and see what on the mind and soul of dreamers in Cyberspace.

Yikes...I think sometimes the spelling is so bad I wonder if they meant an entirely different word, or what?? It would be muchly appreciated Roma Editor's Reply. This has always been an issue and I'm never quite sure what do to about it. The problem is that many dreamworkers find the mis-spellings an very important part of the dream text. Which ones lead to the depths of the unconscious and which ones are just carelessness on the part of the dreamer? Open to discussion. ///////////////////////////////////////////////// Many thanks for the computer dream column by Bjo Ashwil, who for several months has been showing us how to use the computer's power to store, group, analyze and retrieve information from our dreams.

Before going to sleep at night, please hold the thought, prayer, or concentration in your consciousness of bringing healing energy to those who have so requested. you may use whatever practices are important or helpful to you in effecting this healing state. there will be a list of names or circumstances of those who have specifically requested to be included in our thoughts and prayers. please observe the general decorum of distance healing work in many traditions and do not add anyone to the list without his or her express approval...you may wish to hold in your consciousness someone else you know who is in need of healing energy and send them that energy, but please do respect everyone's rights to self-determination and privacy. my feeling is that someone who has asked you for thoughts and prayers can be included here as well. feel free to contact Judith, c/o if you would like to be included in the list or for more information. On awakening, you may wish to pay special attention to recalling your dreams and, if you wish, you may submit them to< Dreamshare-owner@yahoogroups.com> for inclusion on our list. anyway, that's about it for now. take care, Judith =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= AN EXCERPT FROM THE LUCID DREAM EXCHANGE By Lucy Gillis =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ------------------------- AN EXCERPT FROM THE LUCID DREAM EXCHANGE By Lucy Gillis When lucid, many of us enjoy transforming our dream environment at will. But how often do we think to transform dream bodies? This month I am pleased to present "My Mutable Dream Body" by Linda Lane Magallon. ************************************ MY MUTABLE DREAM BODY (c) Linda Lane Magallon The lucid dreamscape is obviously mutable and that fascinates me. But I didn't think to experiment with the flexible form of my own dream body until the repeated comments from a couple of dream characters suggested that possibility to me. The Uniforms 1/11/86 I become lucid crossing a street to walk up the sidewalk along the grass in front of a multistory university building. Down the alley I see a couple of professors talking to one another. I stride toward them with the intent to speak with them but they finish their discussion and hurry away. Under the eaves to the right are two more men. I turn and walk towards them. The grey haired man is speaking as I approach. Feeling the pressure of time (a lucid dream doesn't last long!), I interrupt him and say, "Excuse me, but I need to talk to someone." Finally he stops conversing. His younger brown-haired companion turns to look in my direction. "It appears that this is a dream," I say. Yet, as I gaze fixedly at the younger man, I realize that he's as clear and real as anybody in waking life. "A dream?" he retorts, shaking his head slightly in disbelief. I know from past dreams that trying to convince him is an exercise in futility. So I decide to take a different tact. "Have you ever known of anyone who held the same viewpoint?" I ask. "Well, yes," he replies, "The uniforms do." "The uniforms?" I ask. I wonder if he's referring to people who wear regimental clothing. "Yes, the uniforms," reemphasizes a dark-haired Caucasian woman who has appeared to his right. Suddenly I understand what they are talking about. "Oh, you mean uni-FORMS, shapes, people that retain the same outline." What an interesting thought - they must be people who are so closely identified with the earth ego that they don't realize they can shape-change in this environment. At any rate, the woman seems to be inferring that I'm one of the "uniforms," but she's a shape-changer. Oh, yeah? I think. "So I can put my hand through your arm," I say and reach out, grab her right arm with my left hand, and begin to pass my right hand through her arm in a slicing motion. "Ouch!" she yelps. My hand is stopped halfway - as though my fingers have passed through the muscle but are being resisted by the bone. Oh great! - I think - I'm going to be stuck in this woman's arm! So I concentrate to complete the job, closing my eyes in the process. It feels as though my hand goes through several layers and out the bottom. When I open my eyes, the woman appears to be Black. I'm still holding onto her arm. "Now you try with my arm," I invite her. She hesitates. "Go ahead, you can do it. It's just a belief." "A belief?!" she exclaims with disbelief. The woman didn't take my suggestion that she experiment with the malleability of my dream body. But that invitation remained open to other dream characters. Proud Out-Of-Body Traveler 5/10/88 When the dream springs up, I find myself in a large living room. I converse with the people around me. There's serious conversation but I perch myself casually on the thick arm of one of the long sofas. I ask the young blonde-haired girl seated next to me, "What year is this for you?" "1984," she replies. "1984?!" I repeat, excited. This means I can question her about the future because I'm from 1982...or am I? I concentrate to remember. No, I'm not, I mentally correct myself. "Oh, for me it's 1988," I say. I get off the edge of the couch and go round the young woman to sit next to and converse with an older, grey haired woman. She asks me some very pointed questions, listening to my responses with a frown. Then I watch her get up and go sit down with the women on the sofa at a 90 degree angle to mine. She gives a report to them about me, with some men on the opposite sofa listening too. After they discuss what I've said, a couple of women state matter-of-factly that someone like me (from the outside) could be an unsettling influence on their group. At this, I exclaim to all within hearing distance, "I'm very proud of being an out-of-body traveler!" After all, it takes a lot of concentration on my part just to be here. I think I should be congratulated, instead of criticized or constrained. Convinced that talk will get me nowhere, I decide upon action instead. I walk out to the middle of the adjoining room, which is as large as a convention hall. A group of younger people gather round me as I begin to chat with them. As with all the people in this dream, they are dressed in colorful clothes (I remember lots of bright primary colors, especially purple, as well as ornate brocades). I am trying to tell them that the imagery in this place is unusually flexible - not fixed like they all expect. To prove my point, I impulsively perform a very vivid demonstration. "Look," I say to a shorter, Black young woman. "I can put my arm into you." I do, directly into her solar plexus. "Yikes!" she responds, automatically pulling in her stomach. But I've moved so fast, my fist is already inside her. With the speed of molasses, I continue pushing my hand through her and out the other side. I can feel the layers of muscle and bone as my hand and then arm go right through. I end up with my fist out her backside so those behind can see. "Hey," I hear an excited voice say behind me, "My shoulder passes right through hers!" I turn slightly to my left and see out of the corner of my eye the courageous young man who, following my lead, has attempted this feat using me as the target. (Interestingly, I haven't felt it much. It's certainly not painful, more like someone softly brushing against me with a bunch of feathers.) His voice and the voices of his friends rise in a ripple of amazement. Great! I turn back and withdraw my arm from the young woman, who is none the worse for wear. Now the young people really crowd around, peering directly at me and making conversation. I especially recall the face of a young dark-haired Caucasian man with glasses who looks like he's from the 50's. Suddenly, I get an intuitive impression of just who these people might be. I turn and walk with the young blonde-haired woman (who I met at the beginning of the dream). "Are you dead?" I ask. "What's the last date you remember?" "September 25th," she replies. "What year?" I ask again, but she doesn't respond because now she's walking so fast, she outdistances me. Through one of several glass doors, all opened in a row she goes, along with her companions. As if heeding some inner call, they're herding together, pouring out of the convention center and across the street to a circular structure. I follow for a ways but stop far behind, watching the group enter the building which is on a slight hill. Off to my left, under an overhang and by a concrete wall are two men dressed in guard uniforms. I walk over to them. "Where are they all going?" I ask. "We'd rather not tell you right now," one of the blonde haired men replies. The other almost seems his twin, although I don't get a very good look at him. Unusual for me, I don't start to argue or complain about this delaying tactic. Instead, I ask, "Are there any guides or maps for out-of-body travelers around here?" "Yes," one of the two replies. "Could I have one, please?" I request. They turn to look up the street toward the building. My gaze follows theirs. I hear one of them call, so softly that it might be telepathy, "Marilyn!" With that, a woman who has been hanging out on the sidewalk starts my way. So do her two companions, a man and a woman. What a comical twist: instead of guide booklets, they understood me to mean people who are guides. The man arrives first, dancing on either side of me, like a jester, in clothes that keep changing. The other woman seems to have the same rather irritating behavior. However, the woman who has been called comes directly down the sidewalk. As she nears me, her appearance takes on that of a portly woman with curly, mid-length blonde hair. Her garment is a robe brocaded with ornate black designs. The white background to her robe pulses into a brilliant glow which I know comes from within. "Wow," I exclaim. Then, as if in response to my awe, her appearance immediately changes into a darker-haired woman whose clothes seem made of sandy-colored burlap, though there is still a square of colorful brocade on her chest. Amused at this transformation, I respond, "Hey, that's pretty tricky!" Together, we turn and go back up the hill. The penetration and reconstitution of the dream body wasn't yet obvious to me. I got the closest view of those visual effects in this dream. Hand Through Limbs 9/15/89 I become lucid in a small living room occupied by two women: an older grey haired one and one slightly younger. I get the feeling they're related to each other. When I ask, "What's your name?" the youngest does tell me hers. I respond, "My name's Linda Magallon." The older woman nods and echoes, "Linda," about the same time I say it, continuing, "I know." Because I've had some trouble saying my name, the younger woman talks about "clearing." I realize I have that old mush-in-my-mouth feeling and reach in three times to remove it. The substance is blue in color and has a gelatin appearance. I wake and though I'm a little stiff, I direct myself back into dreaming without changing my body position. I quickly get to the voices-in-the-dark level of consciousness where I hear two children, a boy and a girl, arguing with one another. "Hello," I think towards them, "Can you hear me?" The darkness shifts and a lucid dream scene springs up again. To my surprise, I find myself standing on my hands, upside down, as if preparing to push off and levitate. Across the room (seen upside down, of course) is a color television showing "Star Trek." I can hear Captain Kirk's voice. I let myself down to the floor and turn around. There is no TV anywhere and the room is dead quiet! Somehow, from this position, there's been a change in my surroundings. The room looks smaller and bluer than before. Since the two women (from the first dream) aren't around, I figure I must be focused in a different level of consciousness. Without moving I try to refocus to where they exist by remembering them via their feeling tones. The scene blurs and springs up again bright and warm. I did it! I walk out of the front room, towards the kitchen and encounter the younger woman. Now what was her name? Jessica? Jezebel? Didn't it have a "Jerri" in it? I consider asking her directly, "Now, what was your name?" but decide against it. I finally remember that it's "Jerrica." We walk to the hallway between living area and kitchen. I notice a roll-away cart with a microwave oven, crockery and books piled on it. I ask Jerrica, "What is this place?" "It's like Columbus' cinnamon," I think I hear her say. "A cinnamon for Columbus?!" I repeat, grinning at the absurdity. Then I realize she has a slight European accent which probably slurred the word. "Oh, you mean synonym! I wonder what a synonym for Columbus would be? Columbia?" Jerrica doesn't respond, so I walk into the modern kitchen where the older woman is working. Suddenly I get the inspiration to demonstrate my degree of lucidity to the two women. "Look at what I can do to my astral body!" I tell them. As they gather round to see, I take my right hand and try to push it directly through my left arm. The skin indents and then allows my hand to go through. My fingers feel as if they are passing through different layers, slightly different textures, but they don't encounter the resistance of hard bone. As for my arm, there's not much more sensation than the pressure I'd feel if I were to press my hand against the skin (in waking life). I roll my arm over and observe my fingers exiting the other side of it. All fingers save my second finger reemerge. It is bent over? I try to feel it by wiggling my hand inside my arm. I notice that my index finger has a long, sculpted fingernail, unlike my blunt nails of waking life. Also, the fingers have a purple cast. The older woman frowns as if thinking hard. "How many years have you been doing that?" she asks me. "How many years?" I reply, "I'm not sure. If I try to concentrate, you know what happens to a dream!" In fact the energy effort of conversing does cause the scene to mist, but fortunately I am able to pull it back again. Then I lift my left leg, reach down and pass my right hand into it just above the calf muscle and below the bone. I notice with amusement that, unlike physical life, my dream leg is hairy and has dark freckles. But it is just as glaring white as in waking life. The older woman starts tapping on the upper side of my leg. "Not the bone," I caution her, knowing from past dream experience that it's harder to pass through bone than muscle. When I withdraw my hand from my leg, I can see it takes a while for the pucker to disappear. Also, there is a glistening of moisture as if it came from the interior of the leg. Does anyone know a synonym for Columbus? :-) (Read more of Linda's dream adventures at her web site, The Dream Explorer http://members.aol.com/psiflyer/dream/explorer.html) ********************************************************** The Lucid Dream Exchange is a quarterly issue featuring lucid dreams and lucid dream related articles, poetry, and book reviews submitted by readers.

Juarez, Mexico. Saturday, March 17, 2001 I'm not going to try to dazzle you today with facts from endless publications in an attempt to justify my viewpoint. I have no "credentials" in the scientific or psychological communities. I have no degrees to protect. I don't practice psychotherapy either. So in my theories I can take a liberty with ideas that others might be afraid to take because of their professional responsibilities. From the depths of those ideas I presently believe in, I share with you some of my ideas on fantasy and dream thoughts. Your mind Your mind is filled with ideas. Some of these ideas you identify with. You decide to 'own'. You believe in these ideas and they are called 'beliefs'. Your beliefs then generate other ideas. I call those other ideas coming from your beliefs 'thoughts'. Fantasies and dreams are types of 'thought'. I will start by talking a little about fantasy thoughts. Fantasy Thoughts On one level, your world-view is composed of fantasies (and what is a fantasy but a meaningful collection of images described by a story.) It is widely believed that the contents of your fantasies are unimportant – that you should fantasize about anything -- it is simply unimportant what their contents are. I disagree with this viewpoint. This view is an extension of the belief that there is no real relationship between your imagination and the world you experience as reality. This just isn't so. There is a magical relationship between imagination and reality. Many things you imagine tend to seek materialization. The contents of fantasies are the responsibility of the person creating them. If this responsibility is neglected, a gulf appears between reason and imagination. Reason loses its firm basis in the imagination, while the imagination loses the guiding force of reason. Fantasy characters Your imagination is peopled by all kinds of characters playing many distinct roles. You have many different fantasy selves. They each have their own agendas. Many will try to materialize themselves, at least symbolically. Without conscious intent on your part to give them continuity, many of these selves will just pass into the background of your psyche to be replaced by others. Fantasy characters each have their own ways of relating to the mental environments in which they dwell. Some of them resemble people you know in waking life and some don't. They may instead look like people you have seen in the media. It can be a little scary facing these images as many of them are segregated from the usual orientation of your reasoning mind. There is a tendency to fill out your fantasy characters in your physical life. You are inclined to become like certain of those characters you fantasize about -- whether they are heroes or victims. Other characters you seek to project onto others. Many of these fantasy selves could help improve your life, but it would be necessary for you to sort those selves out from the rest. Such sorting is impossible if you are not taking responsibility for the contents of your fantasies. If you are not making conscious choices in the creation of your fantasies, the characters you identify with are probably not going to meet entirely with your own approval or with the approval of others. Fantasy victims No matter how much of a victim you play in physical life -- in your imagination avoid this role. Don't imagine yourself a victim of circumstance. Don't fantasize about being helpless unless it suits your purposes. This is part of taking responsibility for the contents of your imagination. You aren't just answerable for your physical life, but also for your mental life for it is from your mental life that your physical life emerges. If you have been mentally playing the victim all your life, it could take a while to retrain your imagination, but as your thoughts change, so will the reality you experience. Most unexamined fantasies are inclined to lean heavily on the past. This can lead to feelings of being stuck in the past. Instead, project many of your fantasies into the future. Use your imagination to create your future. Don't just meekly accept any old future coming your way. Use your imagination to improve your self-image. Mentally see yourself as an important and an attractive person. Avoid relying on others to do this for you. Trusting others to create your self-image puts you in a weak position. You will be depending on their conceptions of you. You will count on their visions to maintain your self-image. In some ways, you are letting them chart the course of your life. They are telling you how they see you, and you are believing it and living it. Instead, utilize your own imagination to formulate your self-image. Your fantasy thoughts are made of your vitality. They are fashioned from your beliefs. In your fantasies visualize your immediate environment as a part of a living, conscious world. The objects you see are materialized ideas. Improve your economic condition from within your imagination. Mentally see your fantasies filled with abundance and watch this abundance spill out into your life. If there is a person, place, or situation you don't want to be drawn to, as much as possible, take them out of your fantasies. Avoid letting them enter your imagination. Don't be a victim of your fantasy thoughts. Dream Thoughts Returning to the subject of dreams… I don't think any of us need intermediaries between ourselves and our ideas -- especially between ourselves and our dream and fantasy thoughts. Our dreams produce hints as to our true purposes in life, while our fantasies show us what kind of past, present, and future we are mentally constructing. You learn from your experiences and I think that should include dream experiences. Socialization is important in your outer development, but remembering and working with your dreams lets you socialize with your inner psyche. Plenty of opportunities to learn are available from just remembering your dream thoughts. Personal messages to the dreamer Dreams are generally personal messages to the dreamer. And association is one of the best ways to uncover what a dream message means. Your dreams generally apply to your personal life and situation. Today's dreams belong to today's situations. Your current dream thoughts are connected to your present challenges. Association One important aspect of dreams is understanding your association of personal symbols. Take any symbol or situation in a dream of yours and think of what it reminds you of - this is association. Dwell on an association and let it expand into other associations. Don't dismiss it. Where is this dream symbol leading you? Look for the similarities between the people and situations you see in your dreams, and the ones you encounter in your physical life. This will help you to remember future dreams as you will train your mind to create associations between your physical and dream lives. Your mind will get used to thinking about dreams during the daytime. Associate between dream reality and physical reality. One important result of writing down your dreams is the associations with waking events this brings to mind. The contents of the dreaming psyche are organized by association. Your memories are also grouped together through association. As an example: when you encounter an emotional event and then start telling someone a long story about something you relate to it. You continue making more associations as the story grows. You will eventually associate yourself right out of your story and start talking about something else. Memories rise and fall in our consciousness through association. Dream memory helps to increase the scope of those associations. It assists you in associating to other memories long forgotten often of physical origin. Dream symbols are different for people of separate backgrounds and beliefs. This is because they put their subjective worlds together in distinct ways. They use different ideas. This causes them to associate memories and ideas together in unique ways. Many people confine their associations to the physical world. This limits their associations and hampers dream recall. When you are remembering people and events, learn to let your associations delve in and out of your dream memories. The reason I think association is such a powerful tool in dream interpretation is that when traveling in the dream world you go from one situation to another situation through association. It is in many ways the dream world's equivalent of physical time. Dreaming is much like telling someone a story, except while dreaming you live the story. The contents of your dreams are transformed as you move through the various phases of your life. Dream characters come and go. The plots you face shift too. As the emotional substance of your associations change -- your dreams change too. When I talk to others about their dreams, one of my primary goals is to inspire in them an attitude conductive to dream recall. This is beyond any interpretation of a dream story. Dreams are good-in-themselves Even when your dream thoughts resist interpretation accept them emotionally. Dreams are good-in-themselves. In a certain manner, many dream images are perceptions. By remembering your dreams you extend your perceptual field. By closing them off, you limit your perceptions. Paths in the study of dreams Dreams are a great teacher. By focusing on your dreams you will have access to the inner parts of your psyche. It is a big step to trust your dreaming psyche, especially if you belong to a culture that discourages this. There is an inner healer in each of us if we only turn within and listen. Dream recall in itself provides a certain therapy. It naturally activates the inner healer. By becoming aware of your dreams and fantasies you learn about what is going on in your psyche. Writing them down in a notebook is especially helpful. Then reading back through this notebook re-familiarizes you with your dream and fantasy consciousness. It familiarizes you with the contents of your unconscious. No interpretations are necessary. It can be very taxing following the path of another instead of your own. The trail through life is never exactly the same for two people. You may have heroes you admire, but their way isn't necessarily your way. You need to strive to find your own true path through life. I realize it is hard for many to understand whether or not they have found a true and meaningful path. By remembering your dreams and fantasies, you will be provided with many helpful hints as to your proper route through this world. Your true path is one you have consciously created yourself. You have the power of following a path of your own creation or to follow one of the numberless paths provided by society. Of course, you may also travel through life aimlessly and not commit yourself to any one trail. When studying your dreams the question of your proper path is an important one. There are many books on the subject of dreams. There are many paths different people have taken in this study. Which is the one for you? Reading various books on dreams is like reading assorted books by several authors on a faraway country. Which books are true and which aren't? The only way to discover this is to write your dreams down. Go to this faraway country yourself (which is as close as the next time you sleep), and bring back your own stories. Dream knowledge will then spill onto the path you are traveling down. It will enrich each of your moments. Also, if you are a student of dreams, don't ignore your fantasies for they directly influence your future. Writing your fantasies down can be just as beneficial as writing down your dreams. Take the time to understand the contents of your imagination. In one manner or another, some of your fantasies are pursuing physical materialization. Seek the patterns within your fantasies and change those you dislike. This will assist you in creating a very desirable path through life. What paths you travel down have a lot to do with what roles you decide to play. In your dreams and fantasies, roles are played that are never meant to be played in waking life. Remembering these roles, and learning from them enriches your life. I have heard it said, you should learn from your past experiences, but it isn't usually mentioned that you should also learn from your past dream and fantasy experiences. This learning is much more powerful when you remember your dreams than when you don't. There is no better way to improve dream & fantasy recall than to take the time to write down some of them. Learn to associate dream, fantasy, and waking events together into a meaningful whole. Divisions of the self Sometimes I have been seen by others as making to many divisions when I describe my vision of the self. I refer to waking selves, fantasy selves, dreaming selves, inner selves and outer selves. It isn't as though I don't have a different self for every day of the week. Perhaps, ideally people should have only one unified self without distinctions, but practically speaking, people are like collages of many selves, some of which are operating more or less independently of the others. One of the biggest divisions of the self, and one that is affecting most people, has been the branching off of the dreaming self from the waking personality. Many people claim not to remember their dreams, or only to remember a few dreams, far and in between (often nightmares,) yet modern dream research has shown most sleeping people dream each night. What happens to those dreams people never remember? Could it be they have gathered an ego around them similar to the one we use in facing the physical world? An ego that is used instead to face the dream world? I would like to claim the inner and outer are one, but this isn't what most people are experiencing as reality. They are simply not remembering their dreams. The inner land of dreams has branched off from the physical world of events. It is like each person has two separate personalities, living in two different worlds: a dreaming world and a waking world, and neither personality is aware of the other. This state of divided forces causes people to dispel much of their creative energy. You encounter the deepest levels of your psyche in your fantasies and dreams. But you must make the effort to believe and trust yourself. You need to take time amidst the countless physical distractions, the information age presents you with, to observe your own inner thoughts. These inner thoughts are no substitute for your own good judgment, but they are important. Learn from the wisdom of your fantasy and dream thoughts.

Retrieved May 1, 2001 from Electric Dreams on the World Wide Web: http://www.dreamgate.com/electric-dreams ------------------------------------ http://www.dreamgate.com/computers ----------------------------------- In many ways, the computer dreams are a microcosm of the larger dream world. Positron got e-mail from a dead friend. Cary-2 was chased through the school by a computer with arms and legs, and a death dealing floppy disk. David-2's computer tasks are getting in the way of his finishing a term paper, and he shows up to class embarrassed and empty handed. In these and some other examples the distribution of themes seem to reflect the general distribution of dream themes. Yet other groups seem to show an unusual distribution or frequency of uncommon themes. I was surprised by the number of Alice through the Looking Glass themes. Bill-Ben was enjoying lunch and surfing when he got pulled right into a virtual reality where his sandwich and everything else was pink, a color he detested. Eventually the computer blew up. Jack-2 was typing when he fell into his computer. Frank-2 was pulled into his computer monitor and converted into tiny electrons racing through the circuitry of the computer, then blasted out into the entire network. Intuitively taking the right paths, he eventually zooms into space and sees indescribable astronomical sites. Andrew was watching porn online in the basement and ended up having sex with her on the pool table, but something went wrong with the connection over the Internet. Sary was pulled into her computer and pounded on the other side of the glass monitor while her friends searched through the files on the computer to find her. Mary-2's computer would fly around the world when she pressed the enter key. It was not like flying in the air, but more like in space with no surroundings. There will be many others like this in the collection. It is almost as if the desire for communication is actually a desire for a deeper connection which then manifests in the dream. Other computer dreams seem to give a new twist to old problems. Beth-2 stared out having a Garfield Telephone Problem dream where she couldn't hear her grandmother on the phone. Later she can't read what the grandmother writes on the computer screen either, due to the "color" of the type font. Nothing works in Moe's world, nothing opens unless you have a computer you can hook up. In Erik-2's dream, an alternative history Japan connects children to cybernetic snoops that scan and check their DNA, putting the good ones in a line marked "Life" the others in one marked "Death." Carissa-2 can't read the code on a computer monitor which looks like Japanese. This top secret information will help her save a girl who is wrongly prosecuted. Precognitive and problem solving dreams seem to be slightly higher than expected. Fred-2 got an instant message from a friend of his dad's back in high school, and the next day his father was contacted by an old friend. Dreadlock9 plans new video games in his dreams, like the one where a spaceship can shoot bi-directionally. Henry-2 found that bug in his program during a dream that he had been working on for weeks, and it turned out that this was the bug in waking life. I hope by reading though these dreams you too will get a look at the new emerging images in dreams.

In one (I think it was what whould happen in Japan if Hilter was never born) I saw a bunch of Asian children. They all had what appeared to be cypernetic implants in them. I saw several large computers to which young children (between 0 and 2 years of age) were being connected to through their implants. The computer appeared to be scanning their DNA. Then, each child was put onto one of two lines. One was marked life, and the other was marked death. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = The BIG Chase Dream date = Jan 9th 2001 Dreamers name = Carissa-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = Once i had a dream that I had broken into an apartment in order to get some top secrete info I needed to save a girl from being wrongly prosecuted. Inside the apartment their were 2-3 of what I thought to be TV's. They were actually computer monitors with info on the screens. I couldn't read it because it was in code. The code was similar to that of Japanese type. I figured it was some sort of programming language. The screens were black with yellow characters. I was puzzled as to what it might be. ---------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = vertual reality- pink Dream date = can't remember Dreamers name = bill-ben Dreamers Computer Dream = i was eating a normal sandwich filled with cheese and i was on an internet site (can't remember which one) and suddenly i got sucked through some sort of time portal and i was in a different world some sort of virtual reality. Everything waz different and my sandwich turned pink, everything waz pink. I hate pink. My computer blew up and I was in a submarine under water and I was swimming with the pink fish. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = dads best friend Dream date = 12/2/00 Dreamers name = Fred-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = First off i would like to say the weirdest part of my dream was the fact that it came true the next day. that's how i found this sight i wanted to know more about déjà vu course i've been having it a lot. My dream starts out i was just surfing the web as usual talking to friends i was really happy for some reason and i found myself home alone. All the sudden some one i dont know ims me. He talks to me for a while telling me he knew my dad in high school and how they were best friends. I asked how he got my s/n and he told me he had gone to the aol yellow pages and looked it up because he knew were we lived. After all him and my dad were best friends. Anyways the went on about b/s (were u from, how old r u/ kids) so finally he signs off and get off and go to sleep. the next day (not dreaming now) i do get im'd by the same guy and i could tell what he was going to say before he would even say it... Scared the shit out of me. Later that day him and my dad made plans and he game down and stayed with us and when i met him it was as if i already new him. But ya anyways that's about it. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = the screening room Dream date = 01/20/01 Dreamers name = Evelyn-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = i was first wondering through a hall with white paint and black curtains then at the end of the hall was a small dark room. the only supplie of light was coming from the screen of a computer. all of the sudden a message scrolled acrossed the screen and it said "I see you every other week, when i see you i feel joy. I lie but just enough to keep my love for you a secret frpm you and everyone else". then i woke up what does this mean? could this mean that my crush likes me? ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = email from a suitor Dream date = January 2001 (mid month sometime--night time) Dreamers name = Florra-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I logged onto my computer. I downloaded an email. I don't recall an image of seeing the monitor or reading the email, but the premise of the dream was that a man (with whom I sometimes spend time in real life) wrote to tell me that he was afraid that he was "going to lose me", if he didn't hurry and find a way to put down roots in my town". In my dream, it was morning (like a Saturday--no work), and I immediately called my best friend to "read" the email to her. There isn't anything really baffling about this dream to me, as he has often discussed with me, his desire to move to my town and settle here (he is currently in the military, and moves around). What I found odd was that it was the first time I ever incorporated "email" or my computer in a dream. In my dream, I felt a little flattered, and hopeful, that I might have finally captured someone's heart. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Electronic Flow Dream date = About a month ago. Dreamers name = Frank-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = i remember being sucked through my computer monitor and being converted into tiny electrons, racing through circuit boards and resistors and capacitors and diodes and transistors. Then blasted out into an entire network, not knowing which path to take but somehow choosing the right source, where from then I am zoomed up into space. I'm assuming a satellite, from there I can seem nebulas and quazars and millions of different stars and planets, the colors are undescribable, something which is only seen through an Acid Trip. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = fucking on a pooltable Dream date = like a week ago Dreamers name = Andrew Dreamers Computer Dream = well we went down in my base ment and my computer was there and me and this girl started having wild sex on my pool table but we were watching porn over the interner and it was fucked up ----------------------------------------------- Dream Title = The Super-Continent Dream date = 1994 Dreamers name = Helen-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = In my dream I was standing in a room which was large and dark grey, with a giant computer screen on the wall. I can't remember much else about the room except for this giant screen. I was completely alone in this room and suddenly the computer screen switched. It began to speak it's words were displayed in green bold writing on the screen. It said that, "The super-continent is wrong". I became filled with a sense of fear as the computer spoke these words and then I woke up. ----------------------------------- Dream Title = Solitare Dream date = Last night (01/21/01) Dreamers name = Isadora-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = Lately, I find the more time I spend at the computer, especially playing games, the more the cycle of computing enters into my dream life. For example; playing "spider solitare" puts me in an emotional state of searching for similar groups of things in my dreams, and the need to catagorize them. More than symbolic of the computer system, I'm using the computer's sense of organization as a defining factor in my dreamlife. This level of needing to categorize actually is tormenting, and denies rest. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = mario brothers Dream date = i have it all the time Dreamers name = Jessica-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I keep having dreams about ninetendo 64 mario brothers, sometimes when the screen shakes at the end of a level, my dreams shake. I think its weird familiar because i play a lot of ninetendo 64 ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Borg Dreams Dream date = Last Week Dreamers name = Gary-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = Back at my college job, I became aware that the Star Trek Villian, The Borg, were gathering in the basement in preparation of coming upstairs to assimilate us. Co-workers were unperturbed and laid-back about it all. A recurrent dream for years, it's sometimes zombies, invading aliens, or what have you. ---------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = My Job On Earth Dream date = Since I was Little Dreamers name = MOE01(female) Dreamers Computer Dream = I have always had dreams about the world coming to a end and me and 2 other friends was saving the world. We had to take a plane to Jerusalem and we had computers to open the doors to the plane. When we got their we had to get some guns from under the ground that was hidden and the man had to open the ground by hooking up his computer to a socket that was connected to the ground. It was like nothing did not work unless you had a computer. ---------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Desktop Icons Dream date = last week Dreamers name = Katheryn-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I was flustered because I was working on my computer when these desktop icons kept coming up on my desktop--they were being added by one of my buddies. No matter how many times I tried to delete them they kept coming back up. ---------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = spaceship game Dream date = 1/21/01 Dreamers name = dreadlock9 (male) Dreamers Computer Dream = The first computer dream I remember having was having some weird form of Macintosh... but I don't remember the details, since that was long before I ever wrote about my dreams. I have been a computer programmer since I was 10... so it would be nice to have computer dreams more often... but I hardly ever do. Lately I have been trying to think of concepts for computer games, so last night I had a dream about my brother and I playing a game where we were flying spaceships across a playing field that generally expanded from the left to right... and the guns were bi-directional. Maybe there was supposed to be some other goal other than to blow each other up. I have been seeing a lot of thinks from my waking life appear in my dreams, like ideas for games, and some guitar stuff (I play guitar in a band)... It encourages me to write about this stuff more... I will explore the rest of this site later... sounds cool. I need a place to explore my dreams. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Trapped Dream date = during a class period Dreamers name = Sary Dreamers Computer Dream = I had a dream that I was compacted inside my monitor and my friends were in my room trying to figure out where I was and they were searching my computer files while I was banging on the glass but they didn't know I was in there, they just saw the desktop, files, folders,etc. It was rather scary ---------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = found the bug! Dream date = several years ago Dreamers name = Henry-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I dreamed that found a bug in the software I'd been obsessing on for weeks. Saved us immense amounts of trouble. I told someone at work about the dream, and realized that the dream was RIGHT. ---------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Programming dreams Dream date = n/a Dreamers name = Z Dreamers Computer Dream = I often dream computer dreams. I haven't printed anyone down yet (which i should have :P), but most common is that they're about programming. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream title = a time for sex Dream date = 1.7.87 Dreamers name = dreamer876 Dreamers computer dream = i saw a guy boning a hot chick in my dream once He splooged his thick creamy load all over her big busty tits Then she gave him a slow head job Then they got on the computer and looked up teletubbies sex toys ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = play Dream date = last night Dreamers name = Klesistra-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I had a dream that my friend and i were playing games on the computer at school really late at night.

Until this cute guy came along and said i didn't. So i went next store and e-mailed him thinks. And we e-mailed each other for a while after that...and then we hooked up ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = gnomes attacking! Dream date = January 16, 2001 Dreamers name = Larry-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = a gnome brutally attacked me while i was scrolling down a research page on the internet! unfortunately, i was eventually murdered by the gnome. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Building the Amusement Park Dream date = early in the night during the Christmas holidays, after I played this game (which I own) for three or four hours before going to bed. (2000) Dreamers name = Leslie-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I sat at a keyboard watching the monitor as I clicked on the mouse and installed square after square of footpath in an amusement park computer game. the game is called Roller Coaster Tycoon. I was very focused in my activity. I could see the screen in great detail -- the supports and rails for rides and roller coasters, the green of the grass, the brown of the footpath squares I was adding. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Fast and cheap internet Dream date = this year 2000 Dreamers name = Kabib (male) Dreamers Computer Dream = faster connection and less cost of internet. ---------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Programming from Canada Dream date = 2 days ago since about 3 weeks Dreamers name = x4 Dreamers Computer Dream = I program, not the same thing over and over, but Each time I'm dreaming I continue...I click alot too.

Dreamers name = Mary-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = i dreamed that my computer was flying me around to different places. i went to china and to france. it was like i was truly flying. i clicked the enter button on my keyboard and i would fly somewhere new. i don't know the site i was at, but it had pictures of designs and bright vivid colors of red, blue, green and yellow. the shapes that appeared had designs in them and little character pictures in them. but i couldn't make out the complete picture. it was almost a blur but i could stil tell that they were tiny faces. and eveytime i put the mouse on a different face and pressed the enter key, i would start flying. but it wasn't like i was flying in the air. it was more like i was in space, with no surroundings. and i remember liking the feeling of flying. i had a sence of peace. and as soon as i arrived at a new point i would start my journey back. i only had a few short seconds in a new place. enough to know where i was. like when i was in france , I could smell wine and cheese and i flew quickly over the eiffel tower. and when i was in china, i flew over the great wall and saw the workers out in the fields chopping bushels of rice. it was one of the strangest dreams i've ever had!!! ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = The Predator Dream date = About 5 months ago. Dreamers name = Mark-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I dreamt I was on the computer, and playing the aliens versus predator game. Then, all of a sudden I remember playing as the predator with his green pred vision, and holding the spear gun, shooting at marines. Then I realized, "hey, this isn't normal." That is when I became lucid, tried to leave my body...then got too nervous and just forced myself awake. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Convenience Store PC Dream date = 12 January 2001 Dreamers name = Gracie Dreamers Computer Dream = I am in a store which most closely resembles a small grocery store or a convenience store. It has moderately bright fluorescent lighting. Next to a shelf containing potato chips or some other kind of junk food is a public PC. I am on the PC, checking my Yahoo! e-mail. I have a new message from my friend Paul (name changed to protect the innocent!). He is at another state but I'm not sure which. He is writing about a tape of songs that I had mailed to him a few days ago. His e-mail sounds very excited, like he thinks the tape is so great. It is a brief e-mail, about 2-3 sentences long and with multiple exclamation marks. All he has to say about the tape was that the part of it with the pope(?not sure) talking was amazing. He doesn't comment on the other stuff I recorded on it. I am not sure what he is talking about, because I don't recall if I had put anyone's spoken word on the tape. I think "that's it?" and wonder why he doesn't say anything about those songs I thought he would really like. Then Ethan with 1 or 2 male friends pull into the store's parking lot, in a convertible. It seems they have driven a long way. They enter the store and he gets on the PC. I am now sitting beside him, to his left, and his friends are sitting to his right. He checks his e-mail (which looks to be also Yahoo! mail). I look inside my backpack and partially take out my red-orange pouch bag (I don't completely take it out of the bag, just pull it enough so I can open it). It is a sort of Japanese gift-bag that opens and closes by red drawstrings. Inside it are CDs of one of my favourite bands. I don't want Paul to know that I really like this band, so I close the pouch and shove it in my pack before he sees the CDs. I leave while he is still on the computer. I go out into the parking lot and get on my silver bicycle. It is like a small, low child's bicycle. It is 3-wheeled. I don't particularly like it because it is not comfortable. However it is my only means of transport. I ride the bicycle on the freeway, staying on the far right lane. I am riding very fast, as fast as the other vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) on the freeway. I see someone ahead of me who is riding an identical bike. I realize that I had forgotten my bag at the store. I go back to the store and Paul and his friends had left. No one is using the computer. The store owner or manager is standing nearby. He is a middle-aged male with dark hair. (He looks like a man I saw in a dream I had last year..could be the same one) I search the floor around the computer for my backpack. I realize that the owner is holding it and he gives it to me. He also hands me a piece of paper, saying that Paul had left his phone# in case I wanted to call him. I take the piece of paper but don't really think I will need the number anytime soon. The man says something like it might be a nice idea to give Paul a call because we seem to be attracted to each other. This isn't true because Paul is gay and I am not attracted to him. I didn't feel the need to explain this to the man, so I just thanked him for keeping my backpack and giving me the note. Then I left, got on my bike, and got on the freeway again. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = scary Dream date = 1/1/2001 Dreamers name = Cin [female] Dreamers Computer Dream = I was sitting at my computer typin then all of the sudden I got sucked in and I was in this world I didn't know, this world was filled with hate and anger and it was black. This large dark figure that stood at least 7 feet tall was in front of me and started attacking me and hitting me I felt scared, and the anxiety level was hig I cold feel it. Then I woke up. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = Hacker Domination Dream date = 1/10/01 Dreamers name = Lord Delay Dreamers Computer Dream = I had a dream recently that an online "friend" if you will, of mine was here. I live right next door to a factory. He moved in next door, in that factory. Inside his "room", there was a vast network of computers. We are hackers. The fate of something undetermined is almost fully in our hands. It seems we share our quest with another person who is unknown in my dream. We wrote programs in delphi (in my dream it looked like binary, but i interpreted it as delphi 5). It was always dusk outside, and indoors always looked exactly like Timothy Leary's Drug Room (leary.com). My emotions all through the dream are the exact emotions i remember feeling as a young boy. It is odd, and i cant really elaborate on that. I almost felt afraid of something, but there was nothing to fear. I remember being told, "Its not all about computers up here". I dont remember who said it. i wish i could remember more of this dream, it was still with me for a couple days afterwards.! ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = computer game dream Dream date = last year some time. Dreamers name = Peter-2 Dreamers Computer Dream = I'm playing this weird computer role playing game with my brother. We are back at our parents house, like when we were teenagers. Everything is a bit dark and eerie around the house. Every thing about the house is different somehow but I don't notice in the dream. The game is very complex. I some how end up in this weird area where the 4 worlds meet in the game. I think of labyrinths. I am outside a huge dark shaft that goes under the ground.

I went to bed to take a 4 hour nap before work (I work overnights) and so I got off the internet (left my computer ON) and laid down, next thing I knew, I woke up and looked at my clock and said it was a little after 12:30am, well problem is I have to be at work by midnight, and I am 30 minutes from work, so I was really really late. I got out of bed and walked over to my computer to turn it off, but it was already off...I thought "well I guess someone turned it off for me" and I went toward the bathroom to freshen up and then I thought..."wait a second, no one turned off my computer, this is just a dream!" and then I got kind of frustrated that I was not late for work and also excited that I was lucid in a dream.

Invariably at the end of these dreams, my teeth would fall out. This happened quite a few times...and didn't leave me with an altogether great feeling. Other, better, computer dreams mainly consisted of me actually being inside a computer network, but on the client side. So I could literally push pixels around a screen, and I could physically go to websites and do things and such. These were better because I felt more free and more creative throughout the dream. I've also had dreams where I saw html or pictures and such...or thought of solutions to various problems I was encountering while building and maintaining a site. ----------------------------------------------------- Dream Title = My cyber experience.

In October of this year my wife bought the Snow version of the machine and set it up on the desk. There it was... In the next dream I had we were working on a bunch of computers, trying to get them up and running again. The screen was activated by touch on the bottom of the screen, BY THUMB ONLY, as fingers did nothing. To even see the activating icon, one had to (look through the machine as one does on the prints that have images buried in them and do not look like pictures at all. These machines seemed to be voice activated after the icon was found. There was no keyboard... There were no new machines being built after the severe geophysical changes we were fighting... only the salvage of what we had left intact. - Dream Title = Mobius Dreams (computers) - Dream date = Both were within a year of 1997, both the same week - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = Being assmilated by the borg, then being liberated from their collective mind but retaining all advanced features the borg offer. - Dream Title = Being assimilated - Dream date = 1/25/01 - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = I think this dream was precipitated because of my work pager; it went off, and I woke up briefly to shut it off, then went back to sleep. When I started dreaming, I was at work. I was inside my cubicle, standing up. I looked all around me, and everything in my cubicle was inside out. The computer monitor was inside out, the keyboard was inside out, the computer was inside out. A terminal server normally sitting on the floor is sitting on my desk, with all the components normally on the inside on the outside. Then, quite suddenly, there's a square table inside my cubicle, with people sitting all around it. I don't recognize any of the people. And I suddenly realize there's no enterance to the cubicle anymore. Two people walk up; My boss's boss's boss, and a person directly underneath him in the scheme of things. Neither of them say anything, but they stand just outside my cubicle and stare at me. None of the person sitting at the table say anything at all. They stare at me with absolutely no expressions on their faces. I look down at the ground, then at my body, then back down at the ground again. I get the oddest feeling something isn't right in the world, and a doorway opens up in the cubicle wall, and I walk out into the walkway. Every where I walk, people just stand (or sit) and stare at me. The feeling I just experienced comes back again, and I mutter to myself, "I'm dreaming, aren't I?" It's the only rational explanation for everything that's going on; so I ask myself, "How can I prove to myself I'm dreaming?" I tentatively lift up my right foot, and I place it in the air approx. six inches off of the ground, and I do the same for my left foot. I'm suddenly standing on air, and I feel a rushing exhaltation from the discovery of me being asleep and dreaming. I suddenly get a huge grin on my face, and I can't stop laughing. Everyone continues to stare at me. I ignore everyone, and start flying around the building at blinding speeds. The dream turns very sexual for a brief moment when a lovely young lady in a red dress shows up, but then I quite suddenly wake up. This was my first and only lucid dreaming experience. I very rarely dream of computers at all, which is suprising given I work with them every single day.

I dialed the number, couldn't get through; dialed again, no luck. Dialed & dialed, no luck. Suddenly: WHOOSH! Wow-- where am I? What is this place? Everything is pink and white here, a pink sky with white puffy clouds, a tiny bit of orange too... it's rather sunsettish here. This "sky" is all around me, even below my feet... Oh, and I'm floating effortlessly, suspended in mid- air, weightless hehe! This is wonderful! And what is this in front of me... icons? Yes... rows and rows of them. Icons of folders and other things... Oh, I get it! I have entered someone's computer program! That's what this is. This pink sunset is someone's "background," and I have simply entered his webpage. Yes, it's a "him," all right; I sense him. I think he's working on the page right now, in fact. But he doesn't know I'm here. Oh here we go, switching to something else now... poetry? No, maybe not... song lyrics? Yes, it looks like song lyrics. Oh, and there's a picture-- a young woman. Oh, haha! I see, this guy has created a web page in honor of this woman he's in love with. Or rather infatuated with, as he barely knows her. But he has quite the crush. These lyrics-- oh my! And there are some words of her! He has plastered her words everywhere. He can't get enough of reading her words. And these colors he's chosen for this cyberspace "background", the pink & white, little bit of orange... very romantic. I have basically walked into his secret shrine. Hmm... secret, yes. I'm feeling embarrassed now. I shouldn't be here. This is terribly private, and I am an intruder. I should be leaving. Oh-- oh my gosh! It's an oversized cartoon character, popping/ floating right up in front of me, haha! I guess this guy must like cartoon characters too. Maybe. Wow, that was soooo realistic! Hard to believe I'm only dreaming. I'm in a simulated environment, but wow, how real it seems. I'm bobbing up and down in this limitless pink cyberspace, no ground below me, moving only by the direction of my will. Oh, there's something else off in the distance, a mere fragment of an image... Oh, this must be something Computer Guy is working on right now, something in its beginning stages. Gee, I wonder what's behind me... If I were standing on my own 2 feet, on solid earth, I'd be able to easily turn around and look. But floating as I am in this cyberspace, it's not easy to turn around. I must focus my attention, concentrate... turn around... yes, here we go... turning to the right now... I can bob up and down a little... Ah-- here we are! Nothing? Nothing but pink sky and white clouds. Well I guess this proves I'm not on a stage, otherwise I'd see an audience. Well good, it's nice to be able to move in all directions, even if there isn't anything special to see. I just can't get over how real this is... an excellent simulation. But if a mere dream can seem this real, what then is my waking reality? Could it be a simulation too, a grand illusion? * * * * * * When I woke up from this dream I tried to get on the internet to type it up, but wasn't able to. I dialed and dialed and dialed, many times, no luck. I never have any problem connecting to my AOL, but this time I did. It was down for hours, was told it was probably earthquake (Seattle) related.

This didn't especially cause me any distress. In the dreams I thought of all kinds of inventive HTML tricks that I could use to tweak the scenery, people, even events in the dream. They weren't always "improvements" - sometimes they were purely experimental, just to see what would happen if I tried this or that. Sometimes I would also find myself, between waking and sleeping, not wondering "am I awake or asleep" but "is this my bedroom or is it HTML?" :) My take on all this is that perhaps dreams symbolize life in much the same way that HTML symbolizes the resulting compiled Web page. In a way, it almost seems like "knowing it's only a Web page and tweaking the HTML" was akin to lucid dreaming. Now that Web design is old hat to me (I make my living doing this now) I don't have these kinds of dreams as often - but occasionally I still do! - Dream Title = Is it real, or is it HTML? - Dream date = many times between 1996 and 1999 - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name sleepymaggie =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = not a full dream, just a vivid image of the top of a Netscape browser from a few years back. the 'Location' bar was being filled with an ever-lengthening URL that was full of random characters and gibberish. it had the feel of one of those pumped-up information superhighway type commercials. - Dream Title = netscape browser location bar - Dream date = last night/this morning - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = j ai commancé a rever a messanger les petits bonhomme vert.Tres amusant et en meme temps terrifiant pour mon sphychique ,il semble s integré de plus en plus dans mon spy. les (monitors,chat,programing languages...)Les couleurs sont vive aussi .Mais ,il faut dire aussi que sa ne fait que 3mois que je suis sur l ordinateur.

If not, sorry. My best girlfriend and I were out of town. I was traveling with her through a few different cities for about a week while she attended some classes. The first few days of the trip went well. We ended up staying in a little bit of a seedy motel one night. When we woke up I packed up a lot of our stuff, we had a bunch of soda in the 12 pack and case boxes they come in, and some beer. I lined it all up against a wall of the motel room with our suitcases. We packed stuff into the car which I had moved into a spot real close to our room. There was some toilet paper on the driver's side rearview mirror outside with a dried up moldy orange, pieces of one with the rind, attached at one end. We joked about the car being teepeed and my friend took the orange and for some totally unknown reason she actually took a small bite of an edge of the orange. Back in the room, we realized that the door would not lock, it did not even latch fully when it closed. I thought about how lucky! we were to have slept without being burglarized or killed in our sleep. I tried to engage the deadbolt lock but the doorjamb and the door kept moving, almost like they weren't really attached to the wall that well. Then this robot thing, which came with the room, came over and helped me get the deadbolt engaged. That at least kept the door from being totally insecure. I thanked the robot and was happy that it came in handy for something. It went back and sat down on the floor. She got ready and left for her class, leaving me alone in the room. I looked at the clock and realized it was about 11:30 and check out was 12:00. So I called the manager and asked him if I could stay until about 2, and explained that I was waiting for a friend who would not be back until then or later. He said okay. I told him if the robot needed recharging or something he could have it because I didn't need it. I think it either went to the office itself, because its batteries were dead or the manager came and got it. I started to take off my clothes to bathe and took off my pants when the door suddenly opened and I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my naked lower body. The guy who came into the room was apparently the cleaning person (maid), he had the cart and all. He was quite unkempt and didn't appear to be very clean. I explained to him that he would have to wait, since I got approval to check out late. I had trouble explaining to him, because he was Hispanic I think, but he finally left. I laid the towel down and started to prepare for my shower again when the door was opened again. This time I didn't have time to grab the towel and I yelled, "I'm naked, close the door" or "Get out" or something along those lines. This time the cleaning guy "just wanted to do something real fast" I don't know what. I was trying to cover my naked lower body with my hands and by sort of bending over and backing away from him. I made him leave, but not without difficulty. So then I tried again to bathe when the door op! ened again and this time it was a handyman, also Hispanic, who was there to fix the door. Before I had a chance to say anything to him, he had the door off of the hinges and struck up a broken English conversation with me. He appeared to be slow (mentally), but was pleasant enough. I still was holding the towel around me as we spoke. Something came on TV about a missing woman, who was presumed dead and they gave a short story about serial killers and their profiles, giving a profile on someone who may have killed the woman, who had the last name of Alvarez, or something close to that. He asked me what they were talking about, and I explained how psychologists were able to "profile" killers and gave him examples of profiles. He was lounging on the floor near the front door, which was now completely gone as was part of the front wall. The cleaning guy then came in and they both left. I was relieved because now I could take a shower, but then they came back with a third guy who I had not seen before, and were saying amongst themselves how the manager of the motel told them he used to date the missing woman and they were all surprised. I, still wrapped waist down in a towel, walked toward the doorway as they entered and they pushed me back in and were obviously planning to rape me. I cried and begged them not to, but the three of them would not let me go. They got me down on a couch and I continued to speak to them trying to talk them out of it, when I realized they would probably kill me because I could identify them. I was now naked and somehow I got away from them and ran out the door (which had reappeared) and ran up the parking lot screaming, naked. It seemed I could not scream or yell loud enough. No one was around. I ran past the manager's office and saw the door just closing with no one coming out to see what was wrong. I was desperately looking for someone even going by in a car, no one. There was a grocery store next door and I was going to try to get there to escape, I turned around! and saw one of them right on my heels and I knew there was no way I could escape. I woke up. When I dozed back off I decided that I was saved by a woman in her car in the grocery store lot. Addendum: The manager, the cleaning guy, the handyman and the missing woman were all of Hispanic origin, I can't figure that one out. Actually I can't figure out much of this dream. - Dream Title = Motel Hell - Dream date = 12 March 2001 - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name DianeMRPD =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS DREAM ABOUT ME AND THE GUY I WAS TO LIKE.WE WERE AT SCHOOL I REALLY CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE.BUT WE JUST HOLD HANDS AND HUG EACHOTHER.

I noticed that any words I typed remained on the screen only as long as I looked at them steadily; if I looked away then back they would have disappeared.

He seems to feel he is the purpose of our meeting, the centering attraction, rather than an interesting participant as I'd intended. He goes on to say that he tried all of the things we were trying and they didn't work for him. He also adds that all of the "awake people" he knows say that there are a few things that are better since they woke up -- they sleep better and other small things like that. This shows he's not awake then, but feels he's closer the rest of us are. Suddenly I want to ask, how did he know those people were awake?

Often times i found that, the unhealthier I was, the more I would dream that I was in a computer game. When I started to regain my health, I would be less- and-less in the game and more and more just playing the game. Now that I am completely healthy, I do not dream about computer games at all. The games would almost always be of the fantasy genre, and sometimes would be like Myst or the Zork series, particularly Zork Nemesis. That was my favorite game for a long, long time, and it may have ingrained itself into my subconscious or someting, but I am not an expert. Okay, so here is what I remember of specific dreams: In one I had recently, I was in a 3-d adventure game set in a cave/mine/ dungeon type setting. I was the man from Quest For Glory, and I had to run to escape a wizard guy. His minions were all around the dungeon, and like the more nervous I got, the more enemies there would be. THAT is the really wierd part. I take Effexor XR, and that augments the wierdness of the dreams. Like, there were a lot of marroon- reds, and earth tones. There were big round temple of doom boulders that would roll after me, then i would click my mouse on a door and escape to another room. But I never fought the minions. (i am spontaneously using that word, minions. sounds like minced onion. it means bad guys.) Some of my dreams have had the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen anywhere. That is so psychological... I have never seen these beautiful things that appear in my dreams, like, in one, i was in this temple that obviously was influenced by my trip to the mormon tabernacle in '97. The architecture of the building again... it was a roughly round building, about 150' in diameter, with an 8-10 foot wide red carpeted spiral staircase all around the edge. as I climbed the staircase, nuns from the temple/tabernacle chased me slowly. they were wearing pearl-colored robes, and there were marbles somehow. like marbles had a role in the dream. it was a computer game, but i was healthy when i had the dream, so there were only faint traces of being in the game. i was mostly playing it, basically. - Dream Title = Computer game dreams and Lyme disease - Dream date = 1999-2001 - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name Burt Coster =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = The dream I had was many years ago when I first started University (1995-6). I had been introduced to the internet and emailing by a friend the summer previous and had only rlegated myself to simple searches and emails. However, in the Spring of 1996, I was introduced to IRC along with another friend and the concept took off on me like wildfire. I was using the computer 12 hours a day sitting and chatting with whomever would come my way. I did meet someone on there that I had affections for, as she did for me. Anyways, when I went home to sleep the first few nights after I had started using ICQ I had very stress inducing dreams that made me feel like had actually not gone to sleep. Instead what I had found was that I was in some etherial place, adrift in space, with algorithms, domains and voices/text (mixtures) floating all about me. At times, the voices/text would surround me like water and would impede my progress at trying to contact the girl whom I had met online. I could sense that she was there in the stream somewhere, as were others that I knew. But I was insistent on chatting with this girl and would not let anything deter me from chatting with her. I can remember having to sift through other people's typed messages (which there were a lot of) and try to find the message she was trying to send me. I would wake up wondering where I was, and there were times where I would wake up typing and talking to whomever I was chatting to online. As a side note, this was also a time when I was very new and into Chi Gung/Meditation, so this could have been an actual latent ability to tap into the (Electronic) Akashic Records. - Dream Title = Waves of Text Voices - Dream date = 1996 - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = in my dream i was sitting infront of my computer like always just typing away when all of a sudden a message came up on my screen saying " Virus detected" then all of a sudden i was transportedd into what kinda looked like a cave where i was fighting a dragon which probably was ment to represent the virus. Anyway I was throwing these fire balls at it and way dodging the dragons attacks. Anyway in the end i lost, woke up in a cold sweat and a week later a virus trashed my compter. Freaky!!!!!!

In this dream I was frustrated because I couldn't even talk to Clint online and sad too because at the time I hardly spoke to him since he was busy, or see him because he lives 1500 miles away. - Dream Title = Couldn't talk to him. - Dream date = Maybe 2-3 months ago but not sure. - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = i was playing my computer then somethng said WARNING! i was then shot and stabbed several times then the computer said behind you. then i woke up it was weird - Dream Title = computer warning - Dream date = march 26, 2001 - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = I dremed of a lady I met online.

The dream was about one of my net buddy's having a problem and coming to me for help. I told him to take it easy and every thing would work out. He took my advise and is saying he is now having dreams about me.

A few years ago, when my current boyfriend was still only a friend and crush, I dreamed that the two of us were hanging out at school in the art room (a daily happening at the time) chatting and laughing and looking at humor websites on the computer in the room (also a common occurence). Time passed, the scene shifted slightly so that we were hanging out in the main part of the room again, I went to go see if any of my friends in my favorite chat room were online and my guy friend followed me. Grinning and horsing around, I tried to push him away from the computer and he wrestled back, eventually picking me up around the waist, holding me over his shoulder and walking out the door to our next class since the bell had rung. I think my dream was showing how I wished I could play around with him more like that since in real life (at the time) I was still extremely shy about being close. Not sure how much this helps especially since the computer wasn't a huge focus in it, but it was important to me since it happened at a time when we were still getting to be better friends, and looking at common interests online while waiting for the bell to ring was a favorite pasttime. - Dream Title = Art Room Antics - Dream date = Spring (?) 1997 or 1998 - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = many dreams about trying to do something like fix a meal but in code.

Very strange - Dream Title = coding dreams - Dream date = many times - twice a month - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = I have several different "flavors" of these dreams; some are in html, in others there are only interludes of a unix command line, and sometimes I am even 'coding' my own dream in c++. In the first two, images accompany the code. It's as if I can see the "movie" while the text types over it. I am always aware that I'm dreaming during these, and they are usually what I would consider to be within the range of 'normal' dreaming for me except for the code. They most often occur after I have spent the workday building html files or working within unix. The c++ dreams are a little stranger in their content. There doesn't seem to be any waking-life trigger, and there is *no* visual imagery. I'm not aware I'm dreaming during these. A typical one begins with being inside a program, feeling part of the code. There is always a quest involved...something I need to or want to do. It's just blackness, with tiny white command-line characters, and I manipulate these until I have built the 'program' that will do whatever it is I'm trying to do. When I ask the program to run, I immediatly wake up. The interesting thing about these dreams is that I work in html, unix, and java. My c++ knowledge only extends to having built simple calculator programs several years ago; in other words, I only know enough of the language to recognize it within the dream...not to be coding entire programs using it. - Dream Title = c++ dreams - Dream date = I have it every 3-4 months - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name chimera =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = I have often had dreams where I was controlling my dream with my keyboard.

They have evolved over time. I dream about the organization of folders and subsequent categorizing of relationships with everything. When I'm thinking about people sometimes I will categorize what I'm thinking about them, why I am thinking such thoughts and how that makes me feel. I think like a consious person a lot in my dreams. I love dreaming. Since the computer is an extension of the brain, I am very interested in organizing my thoughts much in the same way I organize files and folders. I recently dreamt about someone I knew in my youth. This person is destined to be vey successful. I dreamt not about talking to her, but rather I visualized files which were all under the sub-category of this person. When I had certain feelings, they went into a specific folder. The same with certain thoughts. Somtimes feelings and thoughts would correspond and their folders would be linked. - Dream Title = The hyperlinked mainframe that was my brain - Dream date = not last night but the night before - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name Misgnomer9 =*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Dreamers Computer Dream = I dreamed I was part of a huge hacker organization who were working on a project to translate a human mentality into digital format, so they could enter the internet and crash the system that threatened society in reality. The system was Macdonalds food franchise. Macdonalds was buying up all the land to build shops, and when a shop owner sold his franchise or just went bankrupt, Macdonalds would just rent out the land, not sell it. Eventually, they owned half of all the worlds surface. The industry that boomed the most was the computers, we (the hackers) could not control business and politics around the world with the "realestate" all owned by McD's. I was just a bystander at the beginning. I just did my tasks and didn't ask questions. Then I found out from my trusted old friend (worked in realestate) that McD's had made plans to buy up all the computer corporate monsters too!(like microsoft). I could not speak to my superiors about this, as I had done something in the past to curb my credibility. I had to take on the responsibility myself. I felt a heavy pressure upon me. If I left it, I would regret it later. So I went into the research labs one night, Only to find Ronald Macdonalds all circling me, like ninja warriors, ready to pounce. I felt very anxious and turned around and began to run. I couldn't run far as I arrived at a blank wall. But just to my right was a case on the wall containing a Laptop computer. I grabbed it and used it to transform (magically) the clowns into hamburgers, that scurried around on the floor for a while then disappeared. I then was suddenly in a dark place, when a light came on and I saw my father(has been dead for 10 years). He said nothing but gave me a golden medal with a heart on it and my name engraved. He vanished and I woke up sweating profusely. Well thats it. Hope you enjoyed it. - Dream Title = The franchise Fantasmo - Dream date = about one year ago - Dreamers name = Anonymous, Pen name =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= <<<<<<<<<<<<<<|||||||>>>>>>>>>>>|||||<<<<<<<<<<<< G L O B A L D R E A M I N G N E W S May 2001 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<|||||||>>>>>>>>>>>|||||<<<<<<<<<<<< If you have news you'd like to share, contact Peggy Coats, pcoats@dreamtree.com.

Isabelle Allende, Albert Einstein, Paul McCartney, George Frederick Handel, Richard Wagner, Robert Louis Stevenson, Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Renes Descartes, Orson Welles, Ingmar Bergman, Elias Howe, James Watt, Billy Joel, D.H. Lawrence, Dmitri Mendelev, and Jack Nicklaus? These are just a few of the scientists, musicians, artists, writers, inventors and athletes who have said their work was deeply enriched and often, completely inspired by their dreams! Dreams are one of the primary sources of human creativity and problem solving. Indeed, virtually all cultures throughout time have honored the wisdom and guidance available from dreams. Yet, in our own society, few of us realize the numerous discoveries, inventions and works of art that are dream-inspired and which have shaped our culture. That's why the Association for the Study of Dreams (ASD) is unique: We study dreams. And not just the dreams of famous people. We know that dreams can be a profound source of problem solving, guidance, as well as healing in the daily lives of each and every one of us. On a personal note, I am writing to let you know the real treasure I have found learning from this richly diverse group of teachers, anthropologists, counselors, researchers, clergy and artists, not to mention the many simply interested in dreams for their own personal study and spiritual nourishment. I attended my first ASD conference fifteen years ago on a lackluster whim: " Sounds interesting. Guess I'll go. Why not?" Now fifteen years later, I want you to know the immense impact that learning the language of my dreams and becoming part of an international dream community has had on my life. I know when you choose to join ASD, you will find as I have that your life is enormously enriched by the people you meet and the understanding you gain about dreams. So, whether your interest is personal or professional, a vast array of experts from different disciplines, countries and cultures will offer you an abundant choice of workshops and programs. Here are some recent offerings: · Find out how dreams can help you at critical turning points in your life. · Learn how as parents we can help our children benefit from their dreams and overcome nightmares. · Hear why brain researchers no longer view dreams as random and meaningless. · Discover the role dreams play in literature and philosophy and how they stimulate the artistic and creative process. · Chat with Tibetan monks about the Yoga of dreaming and explore the fascinating functions dreams play in many indigenous and shamanic cultures. · Join a dreamsharing group and discover new techniques for working with your dreams Each year I look forward with excitement to these meetings, always knowing that I will be welcomed into what feels as much like a warm extended family as an international organization whose mission is to explore the leading edge of consciousness about the nature of dreams. However, the embrace of community and like-minded friends is only one of the special benefits of joining ASD. As an ASD member, you'll receive our: · Quarterly magazine DreamTime · Quarterly multi-disciplinary professional journal Dreaming For cyberspace dreamers, you can check us out at our very cool web site http://www.asdreams.org/ where you'll have the opportunity to: · Create your own Personal Member Web Page · Log on to bulletin boards · Join E-Study groups on dream-related studies you find most intriguing · Receive ASD E- News at your email doorstep every month · Hear about regional conferences and speak monthly with dream experts via our DreamTime Live Internet Chats .

Since I've moved up here I never been happier. I have a lot of hard work to do on my "Flying Goat Ranch," learning not just about goats, but also driving horses, rock farming, fence building, and the neighborly existence of mountain folk living. I now have the opportunity to share with you some of my favorite spots up here, as well as my place, on a special tour in July. We'll see Gatlingburg, the Smoky Mountain park, Asheville, The Biltmore Estates, waterfalls, Blowing Rock, Boone, The Ancient Wisdom Centre, as well as Grayson Highlands State Park, the scene of some of my special dreamwork.

How will we dream in the future? Electric Dreams will devoted an issue to this topic and print the winning essays. I want you to contribute! Dreaming in the Future :: :: Machines, Nanojournals, Simulations and Ingested theme Pills, what will happen? There has been a lot of discussion about the need or lack of need for sleep, but what about dreams and dreaming? Early research suggested that one would go mad if they didn't get their REM sleep, other research suggested we would automatically go into dream like states. Some dismiss the need for sleep altogether, saying the need lays elsewhere. Still others wonder about lucid dreaming. The initial excitement wore off a bit when even the DreamMasks of the Lucidity Institute could not produce easy lucidity. However, new research has shown that heavy gamers tend to have spontaneous lucid dreams. Will this elusive state of consciousness eventually be accessible and what will we find beyond the current limitations of todays oneironauts? Who will record the first dream? In Wem Wender's "Until the End of the World" a machine developed to help the blind was used to record dreams. And will Androids dream of Electric Sheep? (PK Dick). We want your speculations. Be wild, be brave, be daring. Go for it, tell us the future of dreaming!

After finding a little ferret in the park, I discovered ferrets were showing up in my dreams all the time. My own ferret was even flying in a dream! Someone else with ferrets mentioned to me how her daughter told her that whenever she visited and played with the ferrets, she went home and dreamt of ferrets. I began to wonder if ferrets weren't little dreamweavers...weaving their way into our dreams.... Thus, please send any ferret dreams you may care to share. Also, please tell me if you have a ferret living in your home, or if you recently saw a ferret before having the dream. And what did the dream mean to you?

There are about a dozen of them standing around a van-sized space ship. I seem to be a low level technician, though its seems I am just kind of hanging around and don't have a specific job. Slowly I learn they are building a rocket to send three or four people to Mars. One of the astronauts can't go. Its not clear why, they may have died. I casually tell them I can go, and they become very excited and quickly accept me. I think about how cool it will be to visit Mars, the mstery, the excitement, the status and specialness. As we all plan and work on the spaceship, we become friends. I like the man and the woman that are going with me. He is a very regular kind of guy, dark hair and regular build, good with tools and is one of scientists who will guide the ship. The woman is not his wife, but close to him. She seems to be European, blonde, very easy to get along with, a kind of grounded earth-mother type who role is not clear either, but will sit up front with the man and help with navigation and later with experiments on the Mars surface. There might be another man going with us, but this is not clear to me now. The spaceship itself if very small, the interior not much larger than a walk-in van. I don't recall the outside shape of the vessel at all, but it lies horizontal on the ground. The special fuel and propulsion system is something like cold fusion and is very experimental. Some time passes, and we are at the day or two before leaving, maybe hours away. I am getting into a spacesuit (it zips up like my old full body motorcycle suit) and have to pee. I decide it might be a long trip and I should get out and pee. There are by-standers around, a small crowd of curious spectators is forming. I can't find the toilet so I just turn my back to the crown and urinate on the ground. While urinating, I notice awhile acne pimple right on the shaft of my penis and touch or pinch it. A quarter to half a cup of white semen like fluid pours out and this shocks me somewhat, as my mind races, wondering if too much liquid will come ou tand dehydrate me, if I have an infection, or if I have time to bother with this. I finish peeing. Its not totally satisfying, as if I have more urine left in my bladder, but I zip up anyway.I think we don't have enough TV and media coverage. I go and find the organizers and other scientists who are at breakfast , sitting in a booth in a restaurant like Denny's. I notice that one is a dream scholar who has written several books on dreams and dreaming. I asked them if they have contacted any media, because I didn't see any around. They say this sounds like a good idea. A good idea? I can't believe their incompetence and can't believe this unique event is being treated so casually. I leave and go back to the ship. I have a new distraction as I begin to realize what I have gotten myself into. My God, I'm going to get in an experimental ship that will probably crash before getting into space. We will probably run out of air, food and propulsion by the time we get to Mars, even if we can find it. We will probably crash on Mars and die there, and I begin to doubt that the ship could ever lift back off the surface of Mars. I try to alleviate my anxiety by getting a grip on my fear of death. I tell the rest of the crew humorously, "Well, its a good day to get blown into a bizillion pieces!"mimicing the war cry of the Star Trek Clingons who say before battle "It's a good day to die!". This seems to make me feel better and I begin to get a grip on my anxiety. I still have some fears, especially about his cold-fusion like propulsion system and its ability to get us to Mars and back. We all begin to get into our seats. end ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 10:43:21 -0800 From: Anonymous Subject: rape Dream Title rape Date of Dream Dream i keep having a dream that i am involved in a sexual relation ship with my neighbor and when we kissed she ran to her freind and told everybody that i was raping her Comments by Dreamer weird ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 13:36:20 -0800 (PST) From: Arlene Subject: Re: rape Hi I'm new to the list, so if I'm not following this list's etiquette or guidlines, please send me a holler.

He is trying to steal a baby that I carry in my arms. I stand really still among some manikens but he sees me anyway. I break a mirror on one side of the room and try to cut his throat with it but all it does is make little scratches, no matter how hard I push. All of a sudden, the baby is gone and I am lying on a bed in a room. There is a girl with me, I knew her in the dream but when I woke up couldn't recall who it was. She was holding ice on my neck and kept telling me that everything was going to be fine. She instructed me to hold the ice on my neck and I did. She began sharpening a big butcher knife. I tried to sit up but she placed her hand on my chest and forced me to lie back down. She kept saying that everything was alright, that I wouldn't feel a thing, and when it was all over I would be in a "better place". Her voice was eerie yet soothing, I couldn't move. She held the knife up, ready to cut my head off. Then I woke up. Comments by Dreamer This dream continues to haunt me. Sometimes I can relate my dreams to my real life but this one just doesn't make any sense.

I drempt that I was a a very large home. In the dream it was my home, along with my family and an old man who I called grandfather. In the beginning of the dream, we are all outside standing on chairs, sofas, and tables which are put together as a dock. We are surrounded on all four sides with water. There were many people and small children, in reality I do not know anyone who was in the dream, none of the children were mine. All of us were trying to keep the kids from falling into the water. I was trying not to let a little girl, who looked to be about 2 or 3 yrs old, fall in, but her mother said she would be fine. The next thing I know we are all looking into the night sky. It was night time during the whole dream. Everyone is looking at the moon, but I was not able to see it...it kept turning black everytime I looked at it. Then, because I couldnt see the moon, we are told that we can not go to sleep until after 10:30 pm. I think someone said that at the time it was 9:30 pm. I then went into the house. There was no more water outside, I dont know what happened to it. The old man then walked by me, as he did so, he starred at me very strongly with striking blue eyes like I had done something bad. I said hello and went on. A few mins had passed by and I decided that I wanted to talk to my grandfather. I couldnt find him, so I sat down in his chair and thought about where he could be. Then it hit me...I knew of a secret passage that led to a secret room. I dont know how I knew about this. I then went down the passage and into the room. My grandfather was in the room. I went up to him and gave him a hug and we talked. I know we talked but I dont remember what about. I do remember him saying something like "You know what to do." Then a person came into the room. My grandfather seemed really scared and so did I. The room and everything else started to collapse around us. I knew of another way out of the room, so we started to climb over things and run out of there. As we were running we had to go under two gates. the first one we got through with no problems. Under the second gate my grandfather got stuck. I slid under the gate next to him and pushed the gate up and pushed my grandefather out from under it and moved myself as well. I had saved him. My grandfather was a very skinny man, i dont remember my body size, but i think that I was overweight. I have had this dream many times before, but I have never been able to save my grandfather. In reality, one of my grandfathers has passed away, the other is still alive. They were/are both obese. I am also overweight. Anyone have any ideas...i dont know what this dream means. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ There are 4 messages in this issue.

Dream I was on the shore looking out onto the ocean and there was a small platform on top of the water that was soaking wet. When I got to it, it was dry and alot bigger than it had looked. I laid down on it and started reading a book about witch "tests" I started dreaming what I was reading, that a group of witches was testing the powers of younger witches. They made the ocean very stormy and dark, and the witches were trying to ride the waves without falling off their broomsticks. The parents of the witches were there, they were supposed to help their kids if they needed it by throwing sand into the water. However, one of the parents got distracted and let her daughter fail the test. Comments by Dreamer This dream was kinda weird because it was like I was reading it out a book in my dream and it was happening before my eyes. I also noticed that no one noticed me as I watched the tests, like I was invisible. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 17 Mar 2001 08:58:16 -0800 From: Anonymous Subject: high school Dream Title high school Date of Dream 3/17/2001 Dream I dreamed I was back in high school. Aparently my highschool made a mistake with my grades and I had to return even after I have 2 college degrees in real life. I was not upset or stressed at all. I was happy to see all my friends from the past. When I saw everybody between classes we all embraced so much that I fell down. I skipped art class because I was failing. I went to the court yard where all the people who skipped class would go. There I saw my 2 year old daughter and her day care class having class. Her teacher was sort of mean. My daughter paid me little attention. Then I woke up. Comments by Dreamer I believe thi sdream is related to a real life situation that I am experiencing. I am currently awaiting an approval for a licsence so that I can start working. We just move to a new state bought a new house still paying on a morgage on an old house. My life is pretty stressed right now ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ From: stan kulikowski ii DATE : 16 mar 2001 06:07 DREAM : the barge of delight and longing =( last night, a thursday, my mother complained of nothing good on television, so i scrounged up a couple movies to watch from my video collection. a tape of old twilight zone shows, and then the movie _sweet dreams_ about patsy kline. i worked on my perl scripts to correct a flaw in their quiz grading routines. when they started working as i wanted, the movies had just ended, so we went to bed a little earlier than usual, around 23:30. i could not sleep that early so i read for an hour, almost finishing the book on how to write science fiction. i have not been very impressed by this author's critic of why scifi is popular. his writing skills do not seem to support his attempts at analyzing the literature. i went to sleep around 00:30 which is too early for me to expect a full nights rest. i will probably wake up too soon. )= my mother and i board the barge carefully. it is a long flat thing about 20 or 25 meters long, a little larger than most houses. it is probably constructed of metal, but the surface of the deck is covered with intricate woodwork, heavily carved and highly polished. the barge itself is slightly longer than wide, probably the proportion of a golden rectangle, with curled ends. The main deck area is covered with a frame that supports drapes which divide the craft into various rooms like a large tent. the barge is not on any waterway, but in a self contained pool constructed especially for its display here. the pool is perhaps twice the size of the barge, so there are narrow but ample space to the water around it. i have been aboard the barge once before, but this is my mother's first time to see it. once under cover of the canopies, we walk slowly from room to room inside to see the various tapestries and objects inside. most of the interiors have been done in heavy satins, yellow or lime green. soon we come to a room along the side that is partially open and i take a seat on a large pillow on the floor. there is a thick book lying on the floor next to the pillow and i decide that i want to look at it. the book is in a heavy slip cover and somewhat difficult to extract. when i open the pages i see that the lettering is in chinese characters, each pressed into the thick white rice paper pages. i turn to the back of the book as western people consider it to find the first pages. there is a woodcut illustration of a woman dressed in ornate robes at the start of the book. i assume this must be the japanese novel, _tale of the gengi_, but i have no way of knowing being illiterate in this script. i hear some noises of some people in another part of the barge. i wish they would keep quiet. it sounds like a couple of boys rough housing and i assume that i must know them and would be associated with their rowdiness. i see through the open window area, a space cut into the vertical tapestry along the side, that a distinguished gentleman is coming aboard. i recognize him as the official who owns this boat, or at least is in charge of it. when he comes into the room where i am seated, i stand up out of courtesy. "what are you doing in here?" he asks me in a quiet voice. he adjusts his robes of office carefully as he sits upon the small platform in the center of the room. "i was just looking at this book i found here." i tell him. i sit down when he gestures with his hand that i do so. "do you have anything in your pockets?" he asks me directly. for some reason i think he is concerned about things that have been stolen or maybe weapons. "i do not think so." i pat the side pockets of the robe that i am wearing. there is something about the thickness of a finger in my right pocket. i take it out and discover that it is a small wooden piece that i recognize. "this is part of hash pipe. the smoking bowl that is inserted into longer body." "ah, forgive me my curiosity and lack of accommodation." he says clapping his hands. a young woman enters the room from a side slit in the panels. she quickly bows to the official and discretely comes to sit a little behind me. she is carrying a pouch. when she is settled, she removes a very small stone that has been carved into a pipe. i was still searching my pockets and i discover another tiny stone pipe similar to the one she has in the bottom of left pocket. it is so small that i could have missed it easily. as if my little pipe is a confirmation, the woman nods her head and puts the little pipe back in her pouch. then she removes yellow gourd about the size of her fist and she hands it to me. it is incredibly light weight and feels fragile to the touch. as i hold it, she removes a small alabaster jar from her pouch and opens it. carefully she removes a small lump of brown green material and crumbles it over a perforated section of the gourd. i smell the rich tang of a good quality hashish. she gestures that i should put the stem end of the hollow gourd up to my lips and she holds a small lighter over the hash. rich blue smoke curls into my mouth. i have not tasted really good hashish in many years. i straighten up back to sit more properly as i fill my lungs carefully and hold as long as possible. i feel the luxurious buzz start to tingle along my nerve endings as the drug enters my bloodstream. as i exhale in satisfaction, the young woman's hand extends again to relight the remaining ash of the hash. i do not want to get too buzzed, but a second toke to finish the pipe is only polite. "i thank you for this small pleasure." i tell the official. he nods in acceptance and is ready to continue with his interrogations. my mother has taken a seat in the corner, and looks unpleased. before he can restart his questions of me, we both notice some activity from outside. some guards had taken position on the corners of the barge when the minister came aboard. they are dressed in heavy armor the same colors of the barge, mostly yellow and green. for some reason, the guard is looking inward toward us-- i assume to observe my behavior-- when another soldier dressed in orange and brown livery appears up behind him and cuts his throat. the yellow green guard dies quietly. on the shore beyond the gang plank we see many more squads of orange brown soldiers appear to approach our position. "ah, gensu is coming." the old official says with a note of resignation to his fate. i know enough to sit quietly as several guards enter the room and post themselves at the corners. after the guards are stationed, several rows of women come in and sit along the corners of the room, forming an instant court of attendance. they talk cheerfully among themselves as they take up their positions. a new maid in waiting appears to adjust the hair ornaments of the lady on the end nearest to me. she is wearing a robe of thick shiny blue satin, trimmed in an even deeper blue. her skin has a perfect pale unblemished complexion, obviously a girl selected for her beauty. her black hair cut just shoulder length has been braided into a woven net with several rows of a basket weave. extraordinary, i think, the details of beauty they have put into this production. production? with disappointment i realize that none of this is real. i am dreaming and am now starting to wake up. i use what feeble powers of lucidity that i have to try and hold onto the image of the girl in front of me. no luck. she freezes in position like a photograph has been taken. i want to go back into sleep and continue this experience on the barge of delight. i wonder about the mysterious nobleman arriving, this gensu named by the minister. but everything stays fixed, unmoving. oh, i want to get back to this dream but fail to do so. =( i wake and keep my eyes closed for as long as i can. but the images have faded. when i do open my eyes, i see the clock says 05:50. plenty of time to write up this dream. my web design classes start at 11:00 today. i have no associations with the name 'gensu', the higher rank nobleman coming aboard. )= . stankuli@etherways.com >========================================================== == > >Dream Title Brocolli?

=(yesterday was a friday and my last class of the day went badly again this week. my prep all day thursday was wasted effort. i have lost the direction in teaching that course but there were only three students who bothered to show up. i always forget that students treat the friday before spring break as a required skip out. at least i have the next week off from the regular schedule to regroup my studies and the remaining month only has the four web classes since my navy students were mustered out in the morning. late night my mother watched a couple old videos i put on. i just vegged all evening, glad of a respite. went to bed around 02:00 too tired to do much more than read half a comic book. )= sometimes reality is too much to bare. no matter what you do, it is wrong. in such a dilemma, it is best to do nothing. i would like to make up with janeen-- there is much wrong on both sides-- but nothing i can do will effect this reunion. she still lives in the farm house of her parents, upstairs like a reclusive relative. i believe that through catatonic unresponsiveness i will eventually be left alone with her, and she will say those things i dearly want to hear when she thinks i am not able to listen. it is difficult for me to tell if this rigidity by which i do not move is voluntary or a natural state of mental paralysis. i can move my limbs a little, twitch my fingers, blink my eyes when needed, swallow and breath. but i have chosen a position to keep my body in, symbolic of the time when janeen first hurt me with her discontent. she would not remember this, but i was standing in exactly this posture when she told me of her decision concerning edwin, that first deep slice of all out heartbreak. i believe i was wearing the same snap-button cowboy shirt, blue jeans and boots. i could be wrong about the clothes, but the arms and legs positioned just so certainly feels in the right relationship to the pain in my heart. it is funny how your body remembers what your mind would better forget. the four wallace brothers had discovered me at the cattle show. i was inspecting a small lot of heifers when they came up to me. usually they just give me the usual batch of bravado to reaffirm their status as bullies and leave it at that. but this time, just as they approached me in the sparse crowd, i caught sight of janeen nearby on the arm of some man. she was clearly on the make, eyes only for him. he looks to be an executive type, down-dressing in an effort to fit in, or at least not to be out of place, but still rise above the farmers here to bid for cattle. my body naturally locked into its familiar heart ache position as soon as i recognized her. the four bullies came on, surprised to find me now standing like a statue in the crowd looking over the four brown cows with their ear tags. my eyes are lowered to the ground just before me, so no one can comfortably get into my line of sight and achieve a real eye contact. that would be how they could tell if i were faking or not. it is hard to look through someone for very long without showing something of yourself. i see the boots of one wallace brother after another as they pace around me like cats toying with a dead mouse, unsure what to do with it. janeen must have noticed us. i see her tight pale stonewashed jeans wrapped around her tight thin legs terminating above fancy cowgirl boots. i can not move my eyes to see more of her. i hear her sultry voice, "are you in there, stan?" murmur in my ear with its ironic of- course-you-are attitude with the but-i-don't-care undertone. i should thaw immediately and say what i need to say to her, but the executive and the bullies are attending to my every twitch. the wallace brothers decide it is best that take me back to their farm so they can work on me at their leisure. two grab my ankles and one catches my shoulders when they tip me over. it is a little more difficult to keep my rigidity while they carry me horizontally, but it gets easier when i am loaded onto the bed of their pickup truck. i can not look up to see how four of them fit into the cab of the truck or if there is a separate vehicle accompanying us. the ride in back on the floor is cold with occasional hard bumps. the night is breezy and it seems not long before they turn down the lane to their farm. i am offloaded into a dirt floor shed. i catch glimpses of various machines as i am put back on my feet. they look like woodworking tools mostly. there does seem to be some sawdust in the hard packed dirt in my view. the brothers set to work to remove anything of value i have. my wallet is taken, the cash from my shirt pocket. then one of them starts to pry my rings off. i let the university class ring go, but my silver unicorn ring is unique and therefore impossible to replace. i manage to twitch my little finger every time the bully tries to pull it off. the twitch tightens the muscles and bent knuckle around the ring so it won't slip off. finally, he gets a large wire cutter and prepares to cut my finger off below the ring. as he starts to cut, i manage to twitch my whole hand harder so his dikes slide off my finger and poke painfully into the palm of his other hand which was trying to hold my hand in position for the amputation. he yelps with surprise and throws the wire cutters to the floor. he is preparing for another try at the ring when we hear his mother call the boys in for supper. the four of them pick me up like a trophy and carry me inside the wallace house. they stand me in the corner of the mud room like a statue and throw their jackets on various hooks. i think millie wallace, the mother, comments on the fact that i used to be a student of hers in the third grade as the brothers go dutifully off to the dinner table. at last i am alone. no sooner do they all leave then i unlock my body with a sigh and move smoothly out the door. i hope none of them were looking back at me. it feels good to be back in the mode of controlled movement again. muscles initially ache from their rigidity, but quickly smooth out with activity. the darkness of the night helps to hide me but i keep close to the walls of the house. no sound of alert or alarm that i am escaping. as i turn the second corner of the house, i can see the view of the valley below their hill in patches of moonlight. it is starting to rain a constant drizzle but i can not let that stop me now as a hurry away from the farm house. i can hear voices from the roof. probably the father talking to someone. i have known that he often guards his house from the second floor balcony with his shotgun. i must get away from here quietly but now i am out in the open. i spread my arms like wings and lean forward into the slight wind to fly. it takes some effort with my arms and concentration to achieve enough lift to get airborne. i wish i had all those feathers that birds have to help the process. as i struggle to get higher in the night, i position my body directly away from the voice on the house, so to present a smaller target if they see me. i keep waiting for a gun shot, but none comes. soon i am high enough and far enough into the night that i know i have successfully escaped. no one can track me through thin air. the rain is now heavy and i am soaked cold wet everywhere. below me the farmlands are hard to see, just infrequent glimpses of dim detail in the dark. i hope i do not miss the roadway that runs along the edges of the wallace fields. that would be my only guide back towards the small town a few miles further north. if i can fly that far in this weather, i can secure other transport from there. i never find the road, but my sense of direction must have been right anyway as i am approaching the edge of the town as i start to lose altitude. looking back, i see a heavy set german man turns to chase after me. coming up the wall of a tall building i struggle to gain enough height to clear it. the german guy scrambles up the wall trying to catch me. his hand misses catching my foot by maybe a meter. i catch an updraft breeze just over the top of the building and use it to soar upwards away from danger and capture. the rain has stopped leaving the upper atmosphere clean and sometimes crisp with cold in brief patches of flight. i taste whiffs of ozone from spent lightning. my spirits finally start to lift as i soar onwards up toward the moon which just peeks above the clouds. =( the clock reads 08:34 when i first look at it. there seems to some complicated associations in this dream. janeen was a secretary at UMass who lived on her fathers farm in hadley. she broke my heart as described in this dream. millie wallace was my third grade teacher who lived in an old farm house on a hill up the road from my parent's house in ohio where i grew up. i believe she had some sons, but i do not believe i ever met them. whether they were bullies is unknown to me. once i got airborne away from the house on the hill, the farmlands i pass over were the studebaker farm, the road leading to the town of new carlisle. janet grew up on that farm and i was a frequently there when i was married to her. so three farms mixed together in this dream. the german pursuer at the end seems to be the only stranger. first catatonia then flight seem to be antithetical methods of problem solving, but i move smoothly from one state to the other. i wonder what this is about. )= . stankuli@etherways.com

From: "P Ingerson" DATE : 19 mar 2001 07:39 DREAM : euman initiation =( yesterday was sunday. my friend julius helped me haul in some lumber with his truck for a gardening project. we piled it on the back patio and grilled out some cajun alligator pork sausages. julius left early and i spent most of the evening cleaning up email. mother was worried that we would not get our sunday evening ice cream while it was still sunday and watching our weekly episode of doctor who. i got to sleep around 0:30 unable to read for some reason. i get up at 06:30 to take a piss and think this might be a good time for a dream as i go back to sleep. )= it is quiet now on the edge of the lake as i look out over the waters. everyone else has gone in the little cabins so i am alone with my thoughts in final preparation. we have known this family for several years now, sheila and i, but they have always been more her friends than mine. yet over the years they have come to trust me. today i am to initiate their daughter sarah into the euman establishment. few people understand what the establishment is about, and fewer actually believe in it. in the third book of the hobbit, j.r. tolkein took special effort to describe a curious religious belief which the community of hobbits held before bilbo baggins became the ring finder, but not the final bearer. that fate was left to his nephew, frodo. the mysteries of the euman establishment come from this passing reference. it is my destiny that i am a lore warden of these myths. everyone is dressed in their sunday best, like they would for a church service. that is not really necessary, but would not dissuade them if they feel better dressing up. i go into the ground floor basement of the cabin and find the father, henry, pacing back and forth, smoking a cigarette. "look, we do not have time for this now." he tells me as i enter. "we are supposed to be over melinda's mother's house for supper. we can do this initiation tomorrow morning." he is in the resistance, a phase i am familiar with and have been expecting. "you will go to your mother-in-law's house somewhat late tonight." i assure him. "the initiation must be done exactly at sunset. there is no other time for it. everyone will get wet and so will have to change before you can go." "oh come on now." henry looks at me with some frustration. he is one of those who can not believe in what you can not touch. "surely there is some accommodation here. no fictional religion has to be observed strictly." "accommodation is the desire for heresy by the orthodox." i reply. "we can allow it only so long. it is too early for sarah to be cutting corners now. we must complete the ritual as she wants." "sarah is only eleven years old. " he tells me needlessly. "that is too young to be rigid on these matters." i shrug my shoulders but say nothing. he knows very well that children hold faith more purely than their elders. religion is a matter of childhood, a stage left behind when adult science is understood as the source of true knowledge. sarah has to enjoy this stage while she still can. henry knows this. his resistance is preordained like everything else today. i leave the basement. on the slope leading down to the beach i see the snake lying in a small pit. it is a short, thick rattlesnake with a smooth greenish brown skin. henry comes up behind me. "you see that snake?" i say to him, pointing out the creature. "i must kill it or it will bite some child here." i can see in my mind the feet of several children come by the pit and eventually it will kill one of them. it is trying to find sarah but it will fail and bite the wrong child if i leave it alone. i do not enjoy killing things, but this must be done. it is part of the sacrifice that really begins the initiation. i am easily able to capture the snake with my foot. i think perhaps i can crush its head with my foot, but i can not as its skull is too hard. the snake wriggles free and tries to bite me. i avoid it and catch it behind the head as i take out my pocket knife. with a little trouble i cut its head off and let the dying body squirm in its pit. i wish i could have just taken the creature off into the woods, but it would have returned here seeking to obstruct the ritual. henry watches the viper die. he is now satisfied that i have sarah's best interests in mind. another smaller snake sticks its head out of a hole nearby. in is banded bright yellow and black. "you see that snake?" i point it out to the father. "it is harmless as are most of them you will see here. there are lots of snakes around here. sometimes you will see dozens in a single hole. do not worry about them. only that one i killed was a threat." the rest of the family and a few other people, neighbors and relatives, come out the house now, descending the steep stairs. i cover up the dead reptile with a little dirt so it will not disturb anyone seeing it there. everyone heads down toward the beach with us. when we get to the water's edge, i tell everyone including sarah to wade in. her younger brother joshua is the first to leap in. he is eager to be part of this, somewhat jealous of all the attention focused on his sister. everyone gets into the water, forming a semicircle with me as the center and sarah at the furthest apex. the father has joined them so i am alone on the bank. "let us begin." i had been afraid we would be late, but the sun is just setting in a burst of red light. just right as i knew it would be. i step forward onto the water. instead of sinking in like everyone else, my foot radiates a crackle of energy that i can feel and the surface tension of the water beneath increases to hold my weight. it feels like walking on an air mattress. each step i take i can see the water crinkle a few inches out from my feet so i can walk upon the surface. when i reach sarah, i reach out my hand toward and say "come child. it is time you to rise." this is sort of a reverse baptism, coming out of the water while the congregation remains immersed. sarah tries to stand up on top of the water like i am, but has difficulty. her feet start to get a grip on the surface tension, but slip back into the wet up to her ankles. so her stance is not as secure as mine. this is not right. she should be able to stand as dry as i am. perhaps we have done something wrong here. this is the only doubt that has entered by mind all morning. still holding her small hand, with my mind i extend two streams of telekinetic force under her arm pits and thus raise her completely free of the water, her feet hanging a few inches above the water. everyone in the circle observing gives out an exclamation of surprise. tendrils of golden light swirl around the girl and myself as we sweep out into the middle of the lake like leaves blown on the wind. only sarah and i can see these golden showers of light around us. as we spin and dance out on the water, i begin to speak the initiation. "sarah, you are now one of the establishment." "you need never to fear being alone." "if you need something, ask of the others." "wherever you travel, the way will not be smooth." "but in the end you will find what we look for." she smiles at the last reassurance. it is done. our swirling motion has stopped in the exact center of the lake. hand in hand, we begin to walk back. her stride upon the surface of the water is exact and secure like mine. i am reassured. i had expected some of the merfolk to appear beside us in the center of the lake, to observe the final ritual state, but none did. "welcome to the--" i start to say, but my mind blocks on the final word. for some reason i can not recall the very name of the hobbit belief. this is odd. i struggle for a heartbeat, then i say "welcome to the club." club. what a lame word. why can i not say the name of the belief? she does not seem to notice. as we come back to the group in the water, everyone starts splashing each other and plunging under the surface to celebrate. the shower of water thrown up separates as we walk through it, so sarah and i step on the shore perfectly dry. everyone else is thoroughly soaked as they climb back up on bank. she looks radiant like a bride, pure white and clean. we started this with her as a child and now she is a young woman. never will there be such a perfect moment in her life like this. there are a pile of waiting towels on the beach. everyone who needs one, takes one and starts heading back to the house. some of the neighbors head for the other cabins up the way. the younger brother, josh, comes up to me and is saying something in that fast excited childlike way that i can not understand because he is so exuberant about it. i laugh and tell him to slow down. i do not pay much attention to what he is saying. i do not think he is asking anything, just wanting to share his description of what he saw. i am worried why i can not say the name of the establishment. still i am word blocked. when we get back up the house, i go over next door where henry has gone in. i knock on the screen door. when henry sees it is me, he looks disappointed and worried and does not come immediately to see what i want. "do you have a copy of the third book of the hobbit i can see?" i ask when he finally does come. he nods his head and goes back inside. i can look up the missing name in the book. but when henry comes back, he hands me a small plastic figure of frodo baggins on a key chain. i turn over the white doll to see if there are any words inscribed on it to identify the establishment. there are some clear plastic hinges attached to the key chain and they have various mottos and proverbs on them, but no name. henry comes out and sits on the step. "look, you said some things the other night that i want you to clarify." i sit down beside him. with a voice like a prophet he speaks. "the child will lead us through the darkness." did i say that? i suppose i did, but the words of prophecy are never easy for the oracle to remember. i believe i was referring to sarah. i notice that when henry speaks the words, his teeth change into the uneven fangs of an orc then back to human when done. that is how i know he is truly recalling the prophecies. "in gaining everything, we shall but lose one." "the one destroyed is the price of us all." "we weep for the fallen, salvation secured." i understand this part to refer to little josh. he is the one who will die, but i can not tell this to his father. he will have to live through it like the rest and come to recognize it after the fact. i shake my head. "i think we should go find some beers." =( i wake 07:20. for several minutes i keep trying to remember the name of the establishment which i knew at the start of the dream but not at the end. the word still does not come. when i started typing this in, i used the word 'euman' meaning true person, but that was not quite the true turn. close, but it does not ring true. 'eumanist' seemed close too, but not right on. i wish i could have read in that third book of the hobbit to find it. the cabin here was the house that ron fussell and debbie lived in on the edge of lake metacomet in massachusetts. henry brown was someone i knew for a while, but he never married melinda rigney. i think they broke up while i still knew him. he was a semipro clown by vocation, working in the severe state institution for the retarded just to make a living while he clowned. the children sarah and josh seem familiar, but i can not place them. i know that there is no third book of the hobbit in waking life, but it seems strange that i knew the name of the hobbit religion at the start of the dream then forgot it later in the dream and had to make a new one up when awake to write in the dream. there was some significance to the word blockage like it was applied by some external forces-- maybe the missing mermaids in the lake. it seems that in waking life we are not intended to know this name. )= stankuli@etherways.com ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 2 Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2001 20:17:10 -0800 From: Anonymous Subject: Bathroom Tile Dream Title Bathroom Tile by Lainey Date of Dream 3/14/01 2:30 am Dream I had a dream that my boyfriend was doing some remodeling work on someone's house.

Hi All, I had this dream a while back. But never could understand it's meaning. Started off I wasd looking for a grave of a friend. I wondered around this old brick building for a while. The building itself was like a huge hall, a lot of different rooms with stairs cases leading in different directions and filled with old antiques. I came to a bookcase and there was a passage behind it, so I followed...It brought me to a room where there was hundreds of tables filled with different items and pictures of different poeple. I found the table that held my friends picture and in front of this table was a wierd looking knife that had a 3 curled edges on the handle, a shield also with this knife which I was told to keep by someone who had joined me. I did not know this person but felt they were there to help me. I was then taken over to a corner and here I found poeple dressed in green and blue velvet cloaks with hoods. I was given a blue cloak to wear also. They were setting up what appeared to be a circle with green candles...and on the outside of this circle ! they layed another circle with blue candles. I was told to sit in the centre of these circles and they started chanting different things. After this was done, I was taken outside this buidling and up a closed in Alley. Here a man appeared, he was dressed in brown and black cloak. The guy that was there to protect me started arguing with this man...the man raised his hands and a bolt of fire came out of them and the man that helped me disapeared. By this time I was so confused, I only came looking for a friends grave and now this. I through this knife at the man in black and held the shield up in front of me. The knife hit the man, and he too disapeared. I started to walk from the alley and I noticed the knife laying where it had suposedly hit the man. I picked it up...put it in my pocket in the cloak and continued out onto the street...I woke up. Do any of you have any idea what the blue and green circle, cloaks represents? ...and the knife and shield? If so I would much appreciate your input...Thank You!

Babygirltai Date of Dream 10/21/01 between 2-8am Dream I had a dream that I was driving through a forest with some friends and we notice that what we thought were tree branches with leaves were actually a bunch of baby green snakes. The snakes were trying to get into the car but the windows were up. One friend rolled her window down just a little and a lot of baby snakes got into the car on her. Then the driver of the car was grabbing the snakes and throwing them on me. I was scarred to death and screaming my head off. However, I did not get bitten. Then I ended up at some department store and I had on this huge zebra print fur something as my outfit I was walking around like I was some type of super star. Then I ended up at my job and I was late but I was at the office about to leave to come back late. My fiance was with me. On the way to the elevator my best friend of 14 years got off and was flirting really hard with him and walked right past me and didn't even speak. I didn't get on the elevator with him because I wanted to know what was up with her and she was treating me so mean. And still coming on to my fiance. I was so mad I wanted to fight her but of course I didn't. Then me and my boyfriend were walking to the bank and he was up ahead of me and not paying any attention to me and didn't even know that I was not longer following him. Then he stopped and starting looking all around for me. He found me and followed me to the top of this building were he was trying to get me to jump with him. I wouldn't do it so he picked me up like he was going to throw me. At first I thought he was trying to kill me then I knew he was playing but we were on the ledge and I didn't trust him because I thought he might drop me on accident. Also, maybe a different dream but the same night. Another of my close friends just wouldn't have anything to do with me. It seemed like the closest people to me were out to get me. It was a very disturbing night. Comments by Dreamer There is this girl that works with my fiance who his trying to get him to stray. He's been totally honest in letting me know. But this was the last thing we discussed before going to bed. My fiance is very attractive and successful. I know my friends find him attractive and I think I have insercurities. We recently got engaged and I've been having all kinds of fears since then. I've never had insecuritites before, but for some reason I can't shake them. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2001 11:40:40 -0800 From: Anonymous Subject: danger dream Dream Title danger dream~dmr Date of Dream danger dream 3/21/01 Dream I have been having dreams and eerie feelings of being in danger, after last nights dream I woke up trembling. So, here is the dream, what I can remember well enough to write, it started out with me being at some large political affair at a large government building that came under attack, I was with other people that in the dream I kinda new, but don't recognize when I am awake. I was able to get away with some of the people that I knew, that part is a reoccurring dream as in a few times in the past several months. The next thing I remember that dream went right into the next as if somehow connected, people were interviewing for a baby-sitter for my youngest son, somehow my older two children weren't really going to be involved with this new person, well I was then introduced to this new sitter who was younger then me (I'm 31) and there was something about her, she would seem very nice and capable to others but I got that eerie feeling that I get when I am awake and there was something about her eyes and the way she looked at me which I prefer not to think about right now, then I went into the room where my Mother and Stepfather (who have been divorced for about 12 years now and I haven't seen him since, but he was a great guy) were (also, I was in my Grandparents house, he has passed away two years ago and they haven't lived at this house since 84, but I just about grew up in it) and started to tell them that there is something wrong and I do not want this woman any where near me or Jake and I while I was still talking my Mother cut in and she agreed and not to worry, she has the same feeling and seemed to be just as scared as I was, (which in real life my mother doesn't talk about her senses) then I woke up because I heard a friend who is police officer call me over the Nextel saying **** wake up, it's about last night, but in reality, he never called, yet I heard it clear as day. Before I went to sleep last night, wh! ! en I got home and the whole time I was it felt as though someone was in the house with me, it was such a strong feeling that I was just about terrified to walk into the next room, and no, not like a ghost, like a real person and this morning something still doesn't feel right.

He told me he was obsessed with me and all this other stuff. Next thing I know, I'm at work and there's all these people around and I feel really comfortable, then the guy that was calling me earlier showed up, he told me he saw my car outside and that he wanted to talk to me. I got scared and didn't know what to do. There were all thses people around me, but I didn't ask anyone for help. I just panicked and fled, I ran away from him, but he kept following me. He was running right behind me, and then we were in a forest. I was running on a straight 180 degree path and then the ground elevated to 90 degrees and I didn't want to stop because I wanted to get away from him. So, I started climbing up the path, and when I got to the top there was this dark, drabby, rundown, creepy looking house and "he" was already up there, waiting for me, and then I started falling and I didn't try to grab onto the path because I was worried I was going to get dirt under my nails, and I fell backwards and landed on the ground. I still kept running and then I was back in the city, and the guy was running after me, then I saw some police officer on a bike, and I ran to him, and the guy stopped following me. That was the end of my dream.

I awoke (still dreaming) and called someone to find out if this was true. They said he was very close to passing away and I impressed upon them the importance (to me) to be there for and with him. I was 18 when we parted and Im 43 now. We have since gone on to have families but there are still connections (quite synchronistic and indicate to me that our story is not finished yet, despite having definitely "moved on). I went to his house and saw a red and black wheelchair which had loads of gadgets, wheels, motors etc and I smiled thinking how like him it was to have a wheelchair with "go faster stripes". When I found myself in the room, I didnt recognise him but I put that down to his condition. I laid my cheek and against his, and caressed his face. In a few moments the most wonderful and overwhelming feeling of love surrounded me and at that moment, he breat! ! hed his last. I awoke crying and explained the dream to my husband who knows that sometimes my dreams are often psychic. That was on the Sunday. On the Tuesday, there was a newspaper article about a man of the same name, although different middle name. He had been in a car accident 3 years previously and confined to a wheelchair. He came from a different town and worked in a distillery. Someone suggested that I had been floating about in the astral and had answered his prayer for company for his passing and because I had recognised the name, I had gone there to help. I dont find any of these things that I see or feel to be "spooky" any more, I felt honoured and blessed to have helped his passing to be so "love"ly - literally.

I would feel like he was wounding me with this attitude, but not openly. Sort of passively because he believed me to be like what he believes all women are. I would think that I (the people in all white, signifying "truth" in your dream) knew I couldn't stay in this relationship the way it is. I would think I needed to bring this out in the open and discuss with my boyfriend his prejudice and stereotypical attitude towards women and keep myself from being hurt. --- Anonymous wrote: > Dream Title Bullets > Date of Dream 03/21/01 > Dream Walking through a corridor > with many other females > wearing oranges suits, I heard shots being fired. > As I turned to see where > they were coming from two hit me int he back.

And have remembered it ever since. Yes, there are other dreams, but ironically it was this dream that is most vivid to me. I am eighteen at the moment. It was like this. I dreamt that my dad went crazy and demanded that my mom knock out her teeth to have them sold(I know, it sounds...) Well, she didn't want to, and there was a fight. I remember creeping out of bed(in the dream) and peered into my parent's bedroom. The door was opened, just a little bit, just a tiny slit but I could see enough. He had decapitated mom's head and it was lying on the ironing board. There were lots of blood. I was stunned and horribly fascinated. But it wasn't that that made me wake up, it was the sudden awful sensation that mom is dead, dead, dead, and that means she isn't coming back, ever. That hit me hard, and I was crying and screaming when my mom woke me up. For a couple of weeks, I was afraid of her dying and I was s! ! cared of the emptiness I felt in the dream when she died in there.

I knew I was in a dream that I didn't like so I told myself "just wake up". I woke up, and was glancing at the ceiling in my bedroom, but there was all this colorful imagery happening at the same time. Pictures and scenes were forming and breaking up with multitudes of colors, and sparkles. I could see the room around me, but there was this amazing "show" going on. As I was glancing around the room, I noticed a stable, colorful oval about one foot in dianeter, hovering about 6 feet off the floor. It was brilliant in color. As I looked straight at it, it seemed to fade "backwards". But if I would glance at it indirectly I could see the color pattern perfectly. On the outside it was dark blue moving the blue hues into yellow, organge and a most intense inner circle. As I was studying it, I think I felt a presence of somekind but I know I felt afrai! ! d. I told myself "don't be afraid" and I made a gesture by reaching out my hand toward it. At one point I though I heard a whisper: "Bobby" like my Mother used to call me when I was boy (She has been deceased for 5 years). As I became more afraid, the imagery diminished, the colors subsided, and I was left looking around at my plain room, with my heart pounding. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 5 Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2001 12:27:33 -0800 From: Anonymous Subject: First Love Dream Title First Love Date of Dream 3/15/01 12:00pm Dream My first love Greg left last yaer for college and last night I had a dream that he came back but he was engaged.

I walk on and find myself wandering the streets of Washington, DC, stopping at one point briefly through an ill-maintained arcade with a dirty bathroom. I eventually run across a parking lot, in which United States Senator Chuck Hagel (R, Nebraska) is holding a voice vote of 100 or so people, seemingly Senators. I exchange my howdies with Senator Hagel and move on after he calls the first name (which I recall to start with an A, perhaps Ashcroft (who, strangely, is the Attorney General, and was formerly a senator, but was ousted by the people of Missouri in the 2000 election).

I was so scared I wouldn't let myboyfriend go back to sleep in case he snored and the dream would happen again. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 09:47:58 -0800 From: Anonymous Subject: cops Dream Title cops Date of Dream 3/12 4:30 Dream i was riding in a truck with a cop and on the outside of this truck was a frog.

What's most important is what do blue and green mean to YOU. Colors, objects, sounds..all mean different things to different people. For instance, somebody might have a negative association wiht green because maybe they had to wear ugly green gymsuits in jr high, and that was the time a teacher humiliated them. Or maybe blue means "sadness" to somebody else..Literally "having the blues." or maybe green means "Lushness" or "nature" to an entirely different person. Or Blue might bring associations to the police, or the navy or..You see, the list goes on and on. The most important thing is to ask yourself if these colors have any meaning to you. People on a dream mailing list can give their ideas, but ultimately you are the wisest judge on this topic. cheers, Roma --- Cheryl wrote: > Is there anyone that can tell me what green and blue > could mean in a dream?

In my dream, I am dreaming that I am watching myself astro travelling for the very first time.I can see myself in a bed and also see myself leaving my body. My view is like that of the third party. I am excited and eager about it trying to go as far as possible away from myself even though in my dream I realize it is suppose to be scarey and that the chord attached to the back of my head could break but this does not seem to bother me. There is darkness all around me and I am seeing everything including myself as just an outline of white tubular luminous light but somewhere in my vision is a yellow sun that is like a drawing cut out of cardboard and this is to be my destination in some way. The bed I see myself in is not my own it is a single bed with an old metal frame and I as I leave my body I am looking at myself as if i were facing myself and rising up to stand at right angles with myself and then moving backward away from my feet towards a window. I am also having th! ! e thought of 'theres a chance I wont be able to know how to get back into my body' but again this does not bother me. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 2 Date: Sat, 07 Apr 2001 07:44:51 -0700 From: Anonymous Subject: Devil Dream Dream Title Devil Dream , LiL^George Date of Dream 17-6-00 10:oopm Dream i was sleepin and my dream was this devil came to tackle me and when he taclked me he woke me up from my dream and then i went back to sleep and he tackled me again and again until i tried to stop sleeping for an hour.

We were sitting outside and I was under this impression that I was going to be in line to be hung by her. I was told that if I were to make a few phone calls and get someone to save me somehow then I wouldn't be hung. I remember stepping outside of a house and begging and begging my mom not to hang me. I was the first girl in line and at that moment I was preparing the end of my life. The next stange in my dream was playing frisbee in this front yard with four african american boys all around the age of 15 to 20 and there was a carnival down the street. To give some sort of background.

Suddenly, I realize that I'm running alongside others and that a race has just started. I figure what the heck, I'm dressed for it (shorts, T-shirt, and running shoes), and I'm headed that way anyway (I know I have a sense of direction and purpose to my running, but I can't recall it on waking) and start running along with them, even though I'm not actually part of it. I find myself doing very well and enjoying the race, passing people without any difficulty, not tired when others are. We seem to be running down part of a local highway, although we go up and down hills and off the road periodically as well. This is when the others seem to tire more, but I seem to be in my element. As we approach the finish line, we are running down a road toward the back of what seems to be my house (no road there, and my home nowhere near this highway), with the finish line in a place that seems part my kitchen and part an interse! ! ction of roads. I am greeted warmly like I'm in the race ("Good job", etc.). I explain that I am not registered to be in the race, and this seems to be accepted without any problems. However, I ask how I did and am told that I came in second. I'm impressed by this, realizing that if I had been registered, I would have done quite well. I then find myself at a hotel not far away (? Newburgh). I seem to be staying in a very elegant hotel suite. However, I leave and drive toward home. When I get to the street where the post office is, I look up the street and see that they are setting up for another race, the starting point at the post office. Naturally, I'm interested in running again, and seem to know that I will do as well if not better than the last time. Then, I realize that all my things are still down at the hotel. Thinking that I should be back in time for the start of the race, I drive back to the hotel. It is very early in the morning. I see the manager in the lobby. He is a little older than I (late 40s/early 50s), tall, somewhat burly, salt and pepper hair with evidence of a salt and pepper beard on his unshaven face. He is in jeans and a plaid flannel shirt, and seems somewhat out of place in the surroundings. I ask if I can leave my belongings there until I finish this race, and he say! ! s this is all right. I seem to know this man quite well. He is well educated and articulate. With a playful stroke of his unshaven face, I say, "Thanks, Cutes." He is somewhat surprised by this, and says, "Why don't we hold off on that (meaning the playfulness) until after breakfast?" This intrigues me. I playfully smile and start to walk away, but he pulls me back, and we kiss passionately as the dream ends. Comments by Dreamer Single, not involved with anyone. Am not a runner (walker). I recognize part of the dream symbolism, being in the race meaning being involved in something, doing well in the run meaning doing well in this regardless of whether or not I feel like I'm a part of it, doing better off-road than others (off the normal path, essentially) because I'm not always an easy path-taker. However, the meaning of the ultimate path and finish line, as well as the second race starting at the post office, and of course the hotel and its friendly manager is not quite so clear. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 8 Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 10:20:56 -0700 From: Anonymous Subject: my uncle dieing Dream Title my uncle dieing Date of Dream 04/12/01 5:30 a.m Dream Last night i woke up and found that it was still early about 5:00 am so i went back to sleep. while i was sleeping for those 2 or three hours i had the most disturbing dream that my uncle that the family is really close to died of electricution. he didnt die right aways but was in the hospital for a little while and then he died. after he died and at his funeral i was off by myself and his spirit came to me and told me to tell everyone that he was going to be allright and i talked to him for a minute. when i found out he had died in my dream i was really sad and crying really hard and when his spirit came to me i was happy and content. it felt real. i woke up remembering the whole thing. and when i think about it i cry.

I am a 34 year old married woman. I am constantly dreaming about old boyfriends. This has been going on for years and years now. In each dream I am trying to get back together with one or the other boyfriend (there are 3 I dream about). These dreams come to me at least 4 times a week and leave me feeling emotional and in doubt about my own family. In all the dreams I either get back together with the ex boyfriend, or I am running, and trying to catch him to tell him I love him andI want him back. Like I said, it varies between 3 different men I have had long relationships with in the past. Please help me, this bothers me alot. Oh, sometimes the dreams are VERY good, and I see myself leaving my husband to get back together with this particular ex boyfriend, and I feel SUCH a feeling of peace in these dreams. Like I said, this has gone for for so many years, and I cannot help but wonder what it all means. These men invade my dre! ! ams all of the time, and leave me feeling like I want to call them when I wake up. Also, I feel guilty because I never ever have these dreams about my husband. The dreams are often sexual and very good when they are. I do love my husband, but I feel so strang about all of this. Help!

Dream I've had this dream twice, but in a different setting. I'm pregnant, about to give birth, but my mother, sisters, and fiancee are no where to be found. There are friends around, trying to help me out, but I'm too worried about where my fiancee is to sit still and give birth. I'm simultaneously worried about the baby and my fiancee and loved ones. In one of the dreams, the ground was soft and fluffy. Everyone around, including me, is wearing colorful, flowy gowns. Even though I'm looking for my fiancee, sister, or mother before giving birth, there are friends around me that come and help me out. Someone finds a doctor. I am laid down and am about to give birth. I'm worried about the baby but cant get my mind off where my loved ones are at. Second dream: It looks like I'm at my parent's home.

Three pigeons kept getting into the house through a gap in the wall, and I couldn't get them out, so I killed them by spraying them with oven cleaner. Then I had to try and dispose of them without anyone knowing, but the neighbour came outside when I was trying to bury them in the garden. So I wrapped them in a plastic bag and put them in the dustbin. When my family got home they were really suspicious, and were asking me difficult questions regarding the pigeons. ___________________________________________________________ _ ___________________________________________________________ _ Message: 12 Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 20:05:47 -0700 From: Anonymous Subject: Snake Dream / The Monkey King Dream Title Snake Dream / The Monkey King Date of Dream Aprox 2 Weeks ago end of March Dream Begins with me walking into two door in a room with a large boa constrictor around my neck. I'm looking to get rid of the snake and there are two doors. I look up over one of the doors and there are symbols/signs which before I get to see what they are a voice tells me that I can not enter through the door to my right. When I ask why, he simply stated that I have to go through Dr. *****, door. I look back up at the signs and see pictures of Monkeys, like you would see in the Zoo or the Museum of Natural History. To which I think to myself that 'Oh it's because the snake will eat the monkeys.' I proceed to walk through the doors to my left and enter what appears to be the reptile exhibit at a zoo, a very large room and all indoors, kind of dark (reminded me of the Staten Island Zoo for those of you who have been there). At that time there is a man who asks me what it is I'm here for. I tell him that I am here to give them my snake. Then the snake gets away on the floor and enters a hole in the wall leading to one of the exhibits. I try to get it but can't. Suddenly, it's lost and we're looking for it. I recall feeling very upset that we lost the snake and saying "How can we lose a 15 foot Boa?! We have to find my snake, I came here to give you this snake." I see another snake which I believe to be mine and when I go to pick it up the man screams at me not to touch that one as it is poisonous. Upset I'm looking around for my snake when I see the poisonous one headed for a young girl laying on the floor. Except that now the snake has legs, it's more of a Komodo Dragon looking creature with a huge tail but still snake like features. It lifts it's leg as if it is going to urinate on her and I run to pull the girl out from under it. I remember feeling that it was going to spray acid on her and burn her. I pull her out from the creature screaming at it "What are you doing? You're going to spray acid on her?" To which it replied - "No I wasn't. I was going to spray sperm on her." My reaction was puzzled and I asked why, to which the creature replied "I have to make more." I remember the little girl being behind me as I tried to get her to saftey. The next part of the dream that I recall is trying to get the snake into a box. There is one man helping me and another standing in the corner. We are on a dirt mound and the box is kind of embedded in the ground. Now there are nails in the top of the box which we are putting in with our hands. But the top of the box is like a puzzle. You have to fit the pieces of wood together to close it. Now inside the box is the poisonous snake (no legs now) and it's sleeping while we're attempting to close this box. Now I remember being upset and I'm saying how you can never put these things back together again once you have opended them. Then the man in the corner begins to yell at me about how much of a wimp I am and I can't even put together a simple box. I try to and just as I get angry and figure it out the snake wakes up and strikes at me. I catch it by the neck like you see in the movies with two hands and I'm choking it as I fall backwards to the ground. It's on top of me and no one is helping, I choke as hard as I can until it feels that it's not fighting anymore, I remember being scared and angry and having to kill this thing, and then I woke up. Comments by Dreamer I don't know where to begin with this dream. I ran the range of emotions and woke up with a sense of fear and relief.

I dream constantly about ex-boyfriends, I am a 34 year old married woman, no kids. And for years now I have been plagued by dreams of 3 ex boyfriends that I had long relationships with. In some dreams I am back together with one of them, and I feel such happiness and peace. And in other dreams, I am running and trying to catch one of them to tell him I still love him. I am happily married, and these dreams really freak me out. I wake up feeling wierd. And in the dreams, when I am back together with one of them, I feel so good, and happy. Its strange. Me and my husband have a good marraige, but it has its ups and downs, like they all do. These dreams of the ex-boyfriends, comes to me about 3 to 4 times a week. help!
