All DJ Entries

+ racquetball, watching people play through the glass, watching a point being played, they're good, hitting low along the right-hand side of the court. The service looks long but they start to play, they're using all the walls including the back wall. I look at my shoes before entering the court? I'm thinking I need to warm up a bit before playing, maybe practice some serves

+(f?) There is a (cat?) way up in a tree and I need to get it down, it's a friend's? It's stuck up there. I'm thinking of using TK to start with, but I decide instead to have a person up in the tree drop it to me and I'll catch it. I miss it and it splats on the pavement and I'm sad about this and start cooing over it hoping it's not hurt

+ in a kitchen (I think it's mine) with a close up view of one wall above the counter. I'm looking at the grouted tiles and fine a lose bit of grout and pull it out, and something long small and fast is underneath and starts running quickly along the top of the first level of tiles to the right. At first I think it's a mouse but it looks more like a slug. It's moving fast. I think "a ha, so this is how they get in, behind the grout/tiles!" It's still running along the tile/grout line turns a corner and runs along the wall to the right. There's a 2nd one running there now, too. I take a stick and flick the first one out to the ground where it keeps running. It's like a small bulbous bug now. I decide to step on it lightly and I feel it "pop" sickeningly under my foot. It's not dead just disabled there wiggling its legs. I flick the 2nd one to the floor and step on it, too.

+ [very vivid[ taking a tour of rooms in a house? sort of a ranch house. The house is now mine? Look into a bedroom, and there is a small bed along the left wall in the entry area, and there is a very disturbing stain, looks like blood or other dark bodily fluids, coming from under the pillow. I (or narrator?) says something about "well what do you expect with old people?". The stain reaches the edge of the bed and starts leaking and pooling on to the floor. As I enter the room I expect to smell something horrible from that but don't smell anything.

I'm moving about the room opening windows to check the view. One window is very narrow (about 3 inches) and taped shut. I pull it open and I see it looks out not to the outside but into another room, large, that looks like a barn, I say "hey this one looks out into the barn." I look out another window and see it looks into a stone/brick large open "family room" I'm then walking in a corridor towards this room and think hey this place is great they have an amazing large brick room complex, too. I find the entrance and it feels cold a little bit from the stone and enter it. There are large oil/gas tanks here, I think this is a house on the very edge of an oil processing plant. I have a view outside and I see a sweeping vista of green pine trees but in the foreground are large oil storage tanks. I wonder about the tanks getting refilled.

People leaving, Repeat body slamming
It started out in my room with ridiculous detail and feel. Before I did a RC, I told myself that I would go outside. So I did a RC and became lucid and slowly went out, minding how real the dream felt. When I opened the window, some cars drove by. [Timeskip] it suddenly became daytime and people were leaving for some reason. [Timeskip] I was inside a building shooting a DC. Then, another DC turned the lights off, and a female DC produced very uncomfortable sensations. (She repeatedly slammed my whole body on the ground.) I bore them long enough that the DC told me that she was “Something that affects you in a weird way.”
Time: 3-4 minutes

I had my first semi memorable lucid dream. I remember some of the things I did not but much else.

These things were:
Break glass and watch it float through the air. I eventually tried phasing through it. Pretty sure I was able too

Fly - I was able to get myself off the ground but unfortunately I couldn't fly.

Star Trek Lucid

I am at my friend’s house spending the night. I roll over on the air mattress I use when I stay over with my friend and think I have to pee. So I get up and go to the bathroom but forget completely about peeing and I go into the kitchen instead to look for a midnight snack. Something just feels strange. I pinch my nose to do a reality check and I find I can breathe a little, but not much. Am I really dreaming or not pinching hard enough? I go outside and look up at the night sky. I then attempt to fly and I find I can. I am definitely dreaming. So what should I do now? I fly over the neighborhood a bit because I love flying in dreams. I then think I shouldn’t let this dream go to waste, I should do something worthwhile. I focus on Through the Never by Metallica and open a portal, concentrating on going somewhere I am needed. To my surprise, a portal opens right away. I am pleased with that because often times it seems my full lucidity gets in the way of effective dream control.

On the other side of the portal I land on what appears to be the landing platform of a space station. While the station doesn’t look exactly like the ones in Star Trek I see a lot of people in what look like Star Fleet uniforms. I look around and I can see out of the station to where there is a fight going on. I go to the edge of the landing platform and look out on the fighting. I could help if I had my Fire Valkyrie. I hear someone calling to me from behind to get back from the edge. Instead I jump off of the edge, right out into open space. I find I am falling strangely, I pass the force field that keeps the station pressurized, but breathing is no problem. My Fire Valkyrie forms around me and I join the fight. I don’t recognize the attacking ships, but I do recognize the Star Fleet ships. At least the big ones. There are also fighters that are styled like the Star Fleet ships.

I fight to defend the Star Fleet space station for a while, then I hear people saying the Borg are coming, too. I am thinking I will have to change things so these Borg won’t assimilate by force unless they are being attacked. I keep fighting the enemies until the first Borg cube appears. I then fly over closer to the cube so I can get a connection to their main collective through my ship computer. I hack my way in and figure all I really need to change is their primary directive. I don’t want that to be “Assimilate everything.” anymore. I want it to be to survive instead. To exist peacefully in the galaxy, peaceful exploration is fine, and so is self-defense and the defense of others. The only case where assimilation is acceptable is if the subject for some reason agrees to be assimilated or if they are enemies attacking the Borg. No more trying to forcefully assimilate entire races for no reason other than expanding the collective. I go into the code and make these changes and then disconnect. The Borg cube pauses, perhaps to analyze the situation, then it attacks the enemies but not the Star Fleet ships. The Star Fleet people seem to notice this and they do not attack the Borg. I am about to go back to fighting the enemies but I wake up.

Eve Online

I am outside lying on the ground and looking up. I see the stars above me shining brightly in the night. They seem to be shining brighter than usual, but I think that is just because the city lights aren’t as bright right now. I lie there and watch the stars, getting lost in the depths of space. It feels like I am actually floating up towards the stars. Soon I am looking at what appears to be a jump gate like they have on the game Eve Online. And there are so many spaceships going into and coming out of the gate! There are so many that I am constantly expecting to see them crash into each other, but somehow they don’t. Considering it looks like a setting in Eve Online, I am also surprised no one is fighting. It seemed there was always someone fighting around the jump gates in Eve… I continue watching the ships come and go and soon it feels like I am right there among the ships as I watch them all fly by.

Now I am in my Fire Valkyrie flying among the Eve ships as they go in and come out of the jump gate. I have somehow made this transition without realizing anything is strange, now I feel I am playing Eve Online and the Fire Valkyrie is just a normal part. I fly through the jump gate, not remembering where I am going but hoping there aren’t any gate campers on the other side. I emerge in a low security sector and wonder why I came here since there is unregulated PvP fighting here. And, of course, there are gate campers waiting for some fool to do what I just did. I start looking on my scanner to target the gate and get out before I get destroyed… but then I stop myself. I’m in my Fire Valkyrie, not some cheap Eve ship! I’m going to teach those assholes a lesson!

So I turn and face my attackers. There are several battlecruisers that look familiar but I can’t remember what they’re called. There are also numerous smaller ships that I don’t recognize. They are ganging up on me. I set to it, dodging most of their attacks and the ones that hit don’t get through my shields. I return fire and start blasting their ships to pieces. One by one their ships are destroyed and the pilots are left in their escape pods floating in space. I don’t target the pods because I remember that the people who destroy the pod when the pilot goes to escape are the biggest assholes. So as I destroy all of their ships I let the pods make their escapes, and soon I am alone by the jump gate. I hope they learned not to gang up on ships they assume to be weak, because that ship might not be as weak as it appears!

My friend L and I were in the back of a semi that didn't have the storage/truck part hooked up. The inside of the semi looked like a large van with several seat rows; we were all the way in the back. I think we'd been traveling and had stopped to rest. The semi was apparently hooked to a computer with an AI interface, and the AI suddenly took over and started driving the truck, erratically and dangerously. I clambered over rows of seats towards the front of the truck in order to try to get control, but woke up before I could get there.

The title says it all.


Fell asleep at: ???


Woke up at: ???


I was in an apartment in some big city. It was nighttime, the stars were out (Which shouldn't happen, light pollution and all), and the room I was in seemed to resemble an apartment my sister had in Houston, TX. And I was in the room with a bunch of alluring scantily-clad women. They all looked like they were going to sleep, and were all lying down on tiny mattresses, and I plopped down right next to one of them.

She wore a red bikini, was slightly tanned, about as tall as me, and had blonde hair. To be honest she looked an awful lot like my 8th grade Reading teacher (Though she was considerably thinner in the dream. Kind of like a perfect balance). Basically, imagine the swimmer girl from Pokemon XY.

And I (For some reason) just knew I wouldn't get into trouble if I just got on the mattress with her. I had a similar dream beforehand where I sat myself right next to another alluring woman, so I guess I remembered that dream in my current dream (If that makes sense).

Anyway, she had nice thighs, I had dream recklessness, and I held onto her, putting my moves on her... so to speak. She found me charming and even giggled a little bit, and she let me keep my hands on her as we went to sleep. It was a mix of romance and pure sexual instinct, and I even woke up feeling a little lightheaded. It was...well it was something.

SIDENOTES:

1. I also remember another woman (Brunette) on a sky blue mattress. Wearing a sky blue bikini.

2. I think there were like four more women in the same room.

1:30Pm-3:09pm. Slept for 2 hrs, 9min. LUCID DREAM}

Was first in my old home and after a little bit of wandering about, I noticed I had control over my actions. Went inside to have someone mention that the home looks pretty much the same, I did an RC and realized I was dreaming when I saw my fingers smashed weirdly together. After this I went to see what mom was up to, she was baking a cake except she was in the current kitchen. I said I wanted to help, because I knew the taste would help me stay longer in the lucid dream and I didn't want to run about this time. So she started measuring stuff out, then I walked around to my old room and did some sexyish dancing and pretended it was totally kinky. But D came in and shoved me onto the bed, I guess my thoughts had pushed the dream a bit because he had a carrot wrapped in rope and something else that he tried to stick in me. I just closed my legs and mentioned how I was kidding, then went to check up on mom. She was mixing stuff, I thought about how I loved to mix stuff and decided to go outside but when I got to the door she said I could come mix. So I said I'd be right there, rushed back after closing the door and saw that she wasn't even on a mixing stage. She was forming the cake, I guess she was just going to freeze it. I went outside and saw the trampoline we have at the current home infront of the old home and on it was a little deflated kids pool. It had started raining but I still wanted to swim, I made mention in my head of the small size and when I opened it out it was a big as the trampoline. Then I jumped in it and it filled with water, but it was like I was in a balloon because it ripped and I sat up laughing with the water pouring on me and the deflated pool on my back. Someone said the food was done so I went back inside and looked about, mom's desk was in the middle of the living room with four plates on it. I grabbed one and started eating, I'm not sure it had much taste but that was just something I'd have to improve on. After this I decided I should go see Rose to keep me in check, I didn't know how to go about it but I knew I wanted her to teach me. So I imagined the room around me changing, I stared at a fabric till it changed to lavender with patterns and then I backed up and saw a lady sitting behind a mirrored desk. Two phones were attached to the wall to talk through, so I found myself asking for her name. The lady at the desk looked elderly but young, she told me to spell the name and for some reason I couldn't get it right. I said it was Rosetta with two S's, thinking it was spelled with S's before the A instead of T's and then couldn't remember if her last name had an E in the end or not even though I know full well it doesn't. So I resorted to her appearance, Long black curls or sausage curls, wearing black, green eyes...or black or white. I was about to add, black wings and then mention how she changes her appearance but someone walked around behind us and when I saw I knew it was her. Her skin had that faded pale grey look like she just came out of a tomb, I think for a moment she had glasses but I can't really remember, she might have been changing. Her hair was very short, to her neck or just above the shoulders. It was black though, her eyes were black, and her outfit was black and dark grey for pants. She looked a bit like a trendy goth mom, a black long shawl type drooping over her shoulders and looking like big sleeves, low collar black shirt, tight fitting, dark grey yogo pants? Platformed big black shoes. Her makeup also sported black, but her hair was straight and pulled back on one side by a clip. It had more of a V cut to it starting from the back and making it longer toward her face. I pretty much swooned at her feet but she grabbed my arm lightly and tugged me along as though I obviously couldn't walk by myself. Brought me to a white walled room, all the walls were plain white a bit like a school or asylum. Inside a group of maybe ten people, young adults to teens it seemed were sitting crosslegged on the carpet and staring and a whiteboard with a table infront of it. To the left of the whiteboard was a clock, it was ordinary except it was missing it's hands and a red 5 was sort of painted on in the middle. I looked at the board and tried to imagine it saying are you lucid dreaming, but I couldn't. She posed it as a question to me I guess to help but I could only barely see the letters in pink forming, I said no before thinking and quickly said yes afterwards. Then she grabbed me and pulled me toward another area, I guess her office but we never got there because I woke up after she said come with me.

I see my Grandpa who passed away and it’s light out but I feel like he has been replaced by someone I know. He’s cleaning a big area for me and laughing kind of eerily. I’m outside a building. A lady tells me something I think about downloading information or something. I remember grabbing something off of something that had stuff on it but don’t remember what it was.


I have more time for naps now and am remembering more dreams that way...

I only remember one dream from last night, but it was both really cool and scary at the same time. ^^

Me and someone else (my brother? Can't remember) were talking with a devil. He had red skin, horns, and was moderately muscular as well. He wanted us to come stay with him, to presumably work with him as part of his group of assistants.

Dream logic can be weird, and I remember thinking "This guy is really cool. I'd love to hang out with him more, so maybe I should work for him." Because Satan is just the coolest guy ever, ya know? But if I did start working for him, I'd have to leave my parents, and I didn't want to do that. (Which is weird, considering that IRL, I'm in my latter half of college anyway, and I only live with my parents during summer break and winter break).

So I respectfully declined the offer. Can't remember what the other guy did.

Then, I was in a bedroom -- presumably, a dorm room for people who worked for Satan. I was sitting on my bed, and in the one opposite me, a little girl was sitting there. She was wearing pajamas, and had a few boxes of Disney Princess toys beside her. She told me about how she was going to work for Satan, and I tried to talk her out of it. She was a sweet, innocent kid, anyway. Unfortunately, she decided that she needed the money (this girl is like 5 years old lol), and so she decided to work for him anyway. I said it was fine, and left, but thought about coming to check on her later. Then I woke up.

Moral of the story: Thou Shalt Not Work For Satan.

Even if he's cool and drinks lots of protein shakes.

Peace out.

:V

I'm in a building exploring. It's kinda dark but there is also light. I come across a nightmarish dream character. I think I woke up because I was afraid. I want to try to confront these types of characters in the future.

(This was on the day where the ticket would be available to purchase. I wanted to go so much, but it was too expensive, I ended up just dreaming about it)

Anyway, it was on 30 June that the tickets would be available. I dreamed about going to the concert on that day.

I was together with my friend, who had bought a VIP ticket, so she could see G dragon from really close. This ticket was super expensivexD I couldn't buy that, so I bought the cheapest one and sat far from the stage. I could barely see anything, since there were huge people sitting before me, (yeah, I am 160 cm, those people were 180 cm or something lol) but when G dragon walked on the stage, I truly fangirled like crazy lolxD
Even though I couldn't see anything, I saw something I guessxD anyway, he began to sing his songs.

I started to walk off the stairs to try to see him more clearly (I wasn't even aware that I did, I actually had to stay still in my seat, but I couldn't, those titan people were standing in my vision lol) I than stood next to my friend, she said there were two people that went away for something for some minutes, so she told me that I could stand in their places for the time being. That was super amazing! I could see him so close, and it was awesome lolxD
Than the two girl people came back and so I had to go back to my own seat...far from the stage...that was sad:') but I had an amazing time back then^^

Than it was breaktime,
Everyone went outside to get some fresh air, and walked in the hallway, together with my friend.
Suddenly, the staff door went open and some people walked inside and outside the door.
My friend was a risky one, and so she secretly went the staff door in. I was too scared to follow her, and it was already too late to do that, the door was already closed.
I stayed to wait for her comeback. People walked outside for their break, and I was almost alone in the hallway. The hallway was white and the floor was grey. It felt super empty.

I pressed my hand on the wall next to the ''only staff members'' door, trying to, maybe, get to the other side, I didn't really know why I thought I could do that maybe (I wasn't lucid at this point yet)
Than the two girls from back then walked by and asked me what I was doing and what happened. I explained and I told them, ''So, if I press my hand to this wall and really believe init, I could walk through it, and find my friend. Afterall, this is a dream, so I can do anything!''

''Hey..this is a dream..so I can do it! IT'S A DREAM!'' I was super happy that I realised it was a dream al this time, so I was fangirling in the hallway, with the confused two girls who were like, 'What are you talking about anyway? a dream? what?''xD

But trying to go through the wall didn't work at all with me, I looked like an idiot lol. But than, the door went open and my friend walked out with G dragon by her side!!!
Me and the two girls were fangirling super hard and we were like, ''How did this happen?! how did my friend get G dragon here? Wouldn't she have been kicked out?''
Than I began to introduce myself. (somehow..I went to introduce myself in Japanese, even though he is Korean lololol)

But he didn't mind and could understand, he began to introduce himself as well,
in a REALLY WEIRD WAY. He turned his back and made a jump into a push up to the ground, and than said he told his name, etc etc. I was like, ''Is this kind of introduction normal in Korea?xD'' I laughed my ass off when I woke up from the dreamxD (after a while from the dream)

Than I saw and realised that the G dragon from this dream looked familiar with the unknown guy from the previous dreamxD oh well~~he sure was so cute<3
Suddenly my sister appeared and we walked outside from the concert stadium thingy. I held my sister's hand and helped me to float and fly like this. I than landed on the top of a wall thingy, not far from the ground. I was super happy that all these things happened this dream. I could fly, I met G dragon, and he was as cute and sweet as the Unknown guy (because probably, the G dragon in my dream played the Unknown guy lol)
We talked all for a while and than we appeared to be in a forest, running with each other through it, even G dragon was with us. WE WERE LIKE NINJAS!!! HAHAHA hopping from tree to tree, etc etc.

Anyway, that's where I woke up..I wished the dream went on a little longer, but that was it for my lucid one hahaha:')

I hope you liked to read my experience once again and I see you all again with another DJ entry^^

Yukita

I descend to Atlantis with a dolphin' assistance.
In the air bubble, I land in a strip shopping center next to a road. The shops are all a hospital or doctor center. Thousands of people dressed on blue are swarming in and out, and I feel terrified. I run to the left and right, only to be confronted by more. I did not feel like a medical check up, so I retreat to a Juice Bar.
There is a large queue and I am unsure what to order.

There are large posters hanging from the ceiling, but these are constantly changing. A few posters are chocolate flavored ice, and a sweet drink with pink icing in the shape of a classical rose.
It is called the 'Pink Hispanian'
However, the price tag on it is large. (why am I thinking about finances when I am lucid dreaming?!)
I notice on the wall someone has taped some of their composed cello studies. One is labeled 'What I thought they looked like'
Another was labeled 'What they do'
The main difference is that the latter study had eight lines of music, not one!
Eventually, I must choose something to eat or drink. I cannot find the menu, but the lady at the counter hands me one. Included on the list is 'Watermelon Chips'. Everything is overpriced. She asks me who is going to the hospital. I lie and say my 'wife' is taking the dog in.
However, this is where everything got more nightmarish. I couldn't find my credit card!
I could only find several public transport cards and an Atlantis card, which I didn't know what to do with.
It was blue with numbers on some sort of scale.
Finally! I find several blue 50 cent coins. They have special patterns and I am reluctant to sell them.
They each have written on them in capital letters:
Quangle
Butterfly Boutique
Mozart

I emerged into dream at some unfamiliar place, the sun was shining, the nature was lush and gorgeously green. I was walking and observing... for a long time straight in one direction.
I wondered where everyone is. After some time I saw a three person walking, slowly, one after other. So wanting to be in a company, I changed direction to them. When I came closer I saw that those people were zombies... I'm dreaming! OK, so I will explore. I came closer to them, they were strange, Their skin was covered by short twigs with small leaves... some small mushrooms. They registered me as I came about 2 meters from them. They were slow. I wondered when they will stop to move and enroot. I wasn't interested to battle them, they didn't do anything threatening to anyone... and to me... well, I didn't matter of course. So I took original route and walked away.
After some time I came to the city. Nearly empty. On the streets those zombies slowly walked around aimlessly. They were in various state of change into plants.I saw some zombies walking around broken fence, each of them was wounded by broken fence, leaking brownish green "blood" from wounds. I stopped to observe what will happen next- there was man running through that fence some time later and he got scratched... from scratch small twigs started to grow... he was zombified...
I walked again... I saw big river, so I walked there. I found normal people there. They were trying to get to ships and to sail away from land. I had chosen one ship to sail where other people wanted to go. There was captain- a dark haired woman, she asked people their names, some of them weren't allowed to sail on that ship. She asked me for my name. I introduced myself. She told me that I can sail on that ship, that my wife reserved place for me. I started to examine the ship... and I saw that it is starting to take a water, we were too heavy. I went back to the captain and told her that I will not sail with her ship, because it is too full of people and it will sink in short time if enough people doesn't unship. And I went out of ship. At once, the ship was maybe 10 cm higher so, it wasn't taking water in anymore.
I was walking through some buildings, dark without electricity. People were scared of zombies and tried to hide there. They looked like they were scared of each other too. I found a young girl, less than 20 years old with brown hair in ponytail. She was trying to learn something from scripts- I felt that she has to have an exam. I told her to be calm and relaxed, that all will be much better then.
I went out of building back on the streets. There, I accidentally touched a zombie- I thought that other girl is in problems, but she was zombie already. And I felt as twigs started to grow from my skin... and that my consciousness starts to slip away. Of course I couldn't allow it. I concentrated and blue aura exploded from me, cleaning my skin, and also skin of that girl because she was close and surrounded by my aura too. It looked like she was healed, since she stopped to walk slowly and was alert at once. "Go in peace, you were healed" I told her and walked away.
I came to something looking like small electric plant. A few engineers were there talking, that they need to start electric generator, but they feared to enter the building. So I volunteered. I went inside. I walked through quite empty building to the room, where generator was placed. I went into room and felt something dangerous at once. So I closed the doors from inside, blocked them and shouted to engineers, that they shouldn't go inside, into room (to me), because there is demon inside. I started the generator. Then I located the demon- he/she was dark, unhappy being. He/she wanted to go out, but didn't know how to open those doors. And he/she couldn't walk through wall for some reason. I started to talk to demon, trying to find a solution to his/her predicament. I woke up short time after that- I didn't have time to help...

Remarks:
I don't understand: why the zombies again? They were different, but why? I don't look on movies with them, I don't think about them, in my opinion it is just very, very stupid fantasy. (Dream zombies are different, I only name them as zombies- not because they are, but because they are moving around without reaction, doing strange things.)
DILD feels much, much less conscious than WILD ...

Morning of July 15, 2017. Saturday.



My dream starts out on the porch of the Barolin Street house (our previous home of where we have not lived since 2008). This is atypical, as the porch setting, though representing liminal space, is linked to the induction stage rather than the waking transition. As such, it begins to rain (water induction, my most common type, as water symbolizes the real-time dynamics of sleep). I enjoy its essence but I then realize that there are several small stacks of comic books in the north side yard, probably only four or five comic books in each of about nine stacks. Many seem to be Harvey comic books, such as “Casper the Friendly Ghost”. They are arranged in mostly an equidistant pattern (of about six inches apart to each direction) on a very low-set table or thin plywood platform. Zsuzsanna is with me. I realize that I have to run and get them so that they are not ruined.

When I go out into the rain, I feel very good, even though I have to act quickly. Curiously, the books show no signs of getting wet as I gather them. After I take them onto our porch, my dream changes, and there are far less threads of my conscious self identity present.

I now seem to be about eighteen years old or younger. My mother is still alive (and I have absolutely no recall of her having died in 2002). Strangely, even though my brother Earl did not die until November 29, 2007, I perceive him (via a false memory and false backstory) as having died when I was a teenager. (Therefore, my mother being alive in my dream and Earl being deceased is a typical error that dreams make all the time.)

The setting is very sparse in detail and so undefined, there is no discernment of whether it is indoors or outdoors or the typical ambiguous combination that my dream self somehow always perceptually resolves. This “impossible” thinking pattern is not viable when I am fully conscious, and remains a distortion native to the dream state only (though I really cannot understand how this could work despite critical thinking skills not existing in most non-lucid dream types).

My mother is present at times, including the very last scene. I mostly look at various Matchbox Cars. These are ones my brother Earl supposedly owned while living in Cubitis. (Although I still continuously have dreams based on variations of Cubitis, where I have not lived since the summer of 1978, dreaming of Earl’s house in Cubitis, which was only a few houses south of us, is quite rare.) Earl is present in some sort of ghost form, but otherwise appears to be normal, as he was in perhaps the late 1960s. He only looks on at my activities at times.

Yet another error in this dream is that I see Earl as being married to his third wife Cindy in this time period (and she is “still” living in his Cubitis house) rather than his first wife Beverly (and in fact, I have no awareness of him being married to anyone else). His ghost form seems to be a natural result of dying; that is, people die, and then they exist as visible “ghosts”, set apart from the physical world, but otherwise just as they were when alive.

I open a long rectangular cardboard box that is a racing set based on Matchbox Cars. There is a blue racing car that I look at for a short time. I do not think Earl will be angry as I look at his collection.

In the last scene, my mother is nearby. I play around with two blue Matchbox Car pickup trucks that are identical except for the position of the wings of the oversized white chicken sitting in each pickup truck bed. I get the impression it might be meant to be an advertising gimmick (possibly for KFC). One chicken’s wings are out and horizontal while the other’s wings are down and against its body. The chickens also rotate to spin around the pickup truck bed, and I start spinning them prior to waking.

Although this non-lucid dream is extraordinarily easy to decode the native meaning of as most of my non-lucid dreams are, I will presently only focus on the last amusing segment. Chickens are birds that cannot fly very well, so are a typical example of “failed flight” (a form of “return flight”) waking symbolism. This is not negative and has nothing to do with conscious self “issues” as “dream interpreters” (not a real concept) seem to like to pretend via the Barnum effect. Waking symbolism as such is an indicator of the anticipatory (though subliminal) nature of hypnopompia, which is a biological process. As a result, bird and airplane symbolism (and flying in general) has been extremely common in my dreams since earliest memory, for over fifty years, continuously occurring in over one in five dreams in the tens of thousands I have studied.

In this one, there is even an obvious dream sign play, the pickup truck BED, an indicator of being in the dream state, even more so with the oversized chickens on them. Pairs of birds (of various species) have occurred in a number of my dreams. They represent, in most cases, Zsuzsanna and I sleeping together. They are different in their wing status (and in different pickup trucks) in this case due to Zsuzsanna and I being in different levels of sleep (in real time). My mother as my emergent consciousness is likely a vague association with Zsuzsanna prior to waking (as she is a mother to our children). Beds (sometimes in unusual locations) as real-time dream state indicators are also common in Zsuzsanna’s dreams.
