Blue_Opossum

Morning of October 29, 1978. Sunday.



I am seemingly in outer space as if I live on an asteroid yet it also seems somewhat movie-like in an impersonal sense. I note that there is at least one very large green octopus-like creature living on the biggest asteroid (and there are possibly many more). I am uncertain of how much of a threat this creature is. I try to recall how long I had been living on the asteroid. I know there may be other people living here but am not sure how many. I get the impression that the octopus is jellylike. It lives in a sponge-like cluster of caves - each with several entrances. I feel slightly ungrounded with only a vague sense of weightlessness.

Some of this seems to have been partly influenced by an issue of “Casper Space Ship” from 1972.

As a dream setting, living or being on an asteroid or space station has been fairly uncommon throughout my life. Two things come to mind relative to interpretation, especially relative to timing. I believe on one level that this dream may represent my perspective of moving from my childhood home from Florida to Wisconsin, where I still felt a bit “ungrounded” at this time and also was not yet living on my own. It seems almost “normal” (in the dream universe that is) that an octopus, which I have finally resolved to represent the human neuron in many cases, is on an asteroid in outer space, which adds up to conscious focus on the outer limits of conscious awareness. In fact, an asteroid (relative to how one appears in this dream) visually represents the human brain (as in the same manner as my dream “The Sacred Rock of Thought” where the sponge-like boulder represented my full brain-shaped conscious essence granting wishes in the dream). As such, each asteroid is likely meant as another consciousness (separate from my own) - other dreamers in orbit of Earth, the Blue Pearl, the Source. This even correlates with my “Meteor Shower” dream (1971) where each equidistant (like the arrangement of desks in a classroom) glowing meteorite on the ground represented the brain or essence of a classmate - a fairly obvious “stand-in” symbol which visually replaces what you would otherwise see in real life in a particular location at a particular time.
