Returning

dt — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 05:27:53 +0000

I've been accessing my posts from prior years frequently, and realize the LJ is pretty important to me, so I should manually archive posts hitting the ten year mark.

I should also write in it. Most points of view or dreams I've posted in other dream communities/activities are lost to me over the past few years as they weren't also included on my own computer or journal.

Today, while looking for dreams that involved movie stars, I was wandering around my posts in 2002 and 2003, and found that I was sick with the same thing that has been ailing me for the past month and a half, and it hurt as bad then as it does now...just costochondritis, nothing that'll kill a person. The doc had said I keep coming in for the same thing and all I should do is take ibuprofin. It's funny I didn't recall it, but it's written in my journal.

I've no dreams for a long time. I wondered if pain limited dreaming, but from my own journal, I didn't have that problem before.

Dreams 4/17/11

Dream 4/1711

Many dreams last night, but I only remember two.

Robbery –In the dream I was seated in a small alcove next to the back sliding doors of the home. A tall person, at least in his 40’s, 5’11, and 300 lbs slipped in the door. He was carrying an ivory club. I stood up, and was afraid that he would hit me over the head and kill me.

He didn’t say anything, but looked towards the front door and spied a package with a stripe, although now I can’t remember if the stripe was purple or green. Then, instead of confronting me he walked back out the back door. When I looked out, I could see 5 other thieves, but he waved them off to leave.

After they left the neighborhood, I walked outside. The house was situated on a hill. Two wild horses ran up the hill.

When I went began to awake, I thought I’d just returned to bed, and was so unhappy about being robbed, wondering what was in the package by the door. It took several minutes to consider that none of it was real. The house was a combination of floor plans and locations from several states and times, yet everything, except the likelihood of horses running up a hill in the middle of town, seemed so real.

A second dream was also frightening, and I recounted both the first and second to myself in a waking moment, to try to peg it to memory, but then forgot the second one by morning.
They bothered me because it seemed all the dreams lately are unpleasant.

In the last dream, though, there was nothing that I remember unpleasant. It was a consumption dream. I went to some store, and bought an important computer hardware which had a small old-tyme puppet show as a peripheral, to be used for storytelling.

tsunamis

dt — Sun, 17 Apr 2011 18:55:40 +0000

Tsunami dreams –
The state has been studying previous tsunamis in this area, and have been holding drills and community meetings to change previous understanding of what could be done to survive a rupture of the Cascadia fault. Previously, the expectations of a 8 to 9 + earthquake and tsunami were that they occur here every 500-700 years. This was gleaned from samples of soil and tree destruction. For some reason now, the concern is that they occur more often, maybe every 240 years, the last occuring in 1700, which would make the quake past-due. The latest report indicates that few people in the populated beach areas would find accessible routes to escape, so they are considering berms and towers to climb. In our section of the bay, the safe zones are now being reconsidered. Certain gathering areas that appear to be high enough above sea level are now suspected to be prone to collapse in the liquefaction that occurs in a strong quake. The bridges would fail. I don’t know how a person would leave the area, without bridges. There is access to high ground even if on foot. There's more time to escape. Perhaps there should be thought to supplies storage in gathering areas.

I don’t recall dreaming of water. I’ve been chased by bears and there is only one chance to escape, if I make the leap to a particular cavern. I have to make the leap, or I will not survive. In the dream, I keep practicing making the leap, and have been successful. The bear of course, wants to kill me, but it is beautiful, its fur glistens with light from the sun, golden and white. It reminds me of the monkeys in the road from a previous dream. They were also of the same sparkling colors. Are they dreams about the earth? It seems to me that the monkey dream is about the earth shifting.

Other folks in town that I know say they have dreamt directly about a tsunami here. One found the wave full of sharks that chased her as she tried to escape. Another went back to retrieve her pets. They had detachable heads, so she placed the heads in a dresser at home above where the water should hit, but when she returned, they had drowned.

I don’t know what the bears are for me. They could mean Medicine Wheel, yet for me I think they represent the power of nature to be respected.

Lost and loss

dt — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 07:12:31 +0000

Sometimes months go by...years.
School work ended and then there were tight schedules at work. I become very narrow, shutting out everything that isn't essential to get through the day. Today I saw that a friend had passed away in December, unexpectedly from a brain stroke. It shocked me, because in my mind we had written not so long ago. He was someone I felt honored to know, inspiring and kind. There were images I'd promised to send to him, but he won't get to see them. I've thought of him alot these last few weeks, and am perplexed and sad.

Today is the anniversary of my father's death, 14 years. I don't mention it to my mother. Perhaps she remembers, but doesn't mention it to me, either. She has been telling me of her dreams of him.

She dreamt of preparing his clothing for travel, but he kept eluding her in a large shopping mall in various stages of dress. It was a very funny dream. I told her of similar dreams from the past, but instead I had to get him the proper "card" to travel.

My own dreams lately are many, and mainly lucid and connected to day residue. I'm wandering between dimensions (game residue?) but there's nothing of games. Events from waking are depicted erroneously in the dreams and I constantly contest their validity, loudly, while dreaming, "That's not how it happened!" Sort of odd, as I had few lucid dreams before.

The only dream that didn't seem to be connected to day residue was about attending to a baby in a shelter far away, so tiny. I was singing a song from the 40's or 50's. The words were so evident in my dream, but now I remember nothing.

Dream Friday 22611

Having many dreams with little recall. I am generally working in them in a variety of professions. Last night I had started my own business sewing custom wedding dresses. I suppose a person could make a decent living. My grandmother did. They were lovely, although not typical.

Must be better than my earlier idea of a get-a-way book store, although it could have been interesting. Originally, though, back in Tucson I had hoped to open a design shop, but was 30 minutes too slow in making up my mind and lost the property.

There should be no surprise over the extent of States' and local government budget problems.
I wonder what to believe about solutions to economic woes all around the world as ideas begin to converge and move forward.

I was thinking about lemmings tonight. Lemmings do not run off the edge of a cliff on purpose. They migrate in great crowds and get shoved off the cliff from the pressure of the masses when they are misguided.

I hope we are wiser now.

Quake coincidence

dt — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 05:59:51 +0000

Last night, out on the deck my mind wandered off to earthquakes. I was feeling we were due and imagined what it would be like if it occurred as I stood there. This morning at about 9:00, I walked into the park for a break. The weirdest thought popped into my head..this would be the best spot to stand if there was an earthquake. If the building fell over, it wouldn't hit me. Lol. (Actually the half dead cedar tree next to me would.)

About an hour later there was a quake at Mount St. Helens. It was felt at Porter, a short distance from here. I didn't notice it.

Feb dream

dt — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 05:24:01 +0000

Dream from Feb 4th. I dreamt I was trying to go to a conference. First, I had arrived on the wrong day so I had to wait at the airport. Next, I had left my paperwork at the ticket counter and still could not travel. I don't recall the rest of the dream although most of it was outside of the airport with people from the past.
