Xanous' Dream Journal

I did my WBTB at 4AM but had a mild headache. I listened to a relaxation mp3 for about 30min and felt very close but the earbuds and the sound kept me too awake. I gave that up and rolled over but my headache intensified and I just wanted to fall asleep.

I had a few strange dreams after that. My wife's alarm went off at 6. She kissed me bye and left probably around 6:20AM. I got up to go to the toilet and laid back down. I thought to try WILD again but was too out of it but I at least said some mantra and just set my intent.

#197 - 6:42AM - DILD

I am in bed with my wife in some strange bedroom. It feels almost like a bed and breakfast cottage and we are on vacation. Morning sunlight is shining in as we talk just being lazy in bed. During our conversation I keep seeing a shadow of a little girl outside the window. It looks like my daughter, Dalynn. I ignore her at first but I keep hearing random sounds like someone knocking a few times with long pauses. I tell my wife that I think Dalynn wants in. She jumps up and over reacts being crazy silly. She knocks over some oddly shaped ceramic planter. Dirt and parts of the plant land in the bed and some hits my face. I say, "You knocked over the Bansai tree!" I look and there is some ugly knobby thing on the floor. "Or what's left of it." She hands me the planter with a strange sheepish grin on her face. My ring on my hand hits the planter and there is a low hollow bong sound. Ignore this. She wants ME to clean this up? I become furious and let out a low growl while shaking a fist. I just leave her to the mess and go to open the door for Dalynn.

I walk out a door on the right and turn left. There is some empty and strangle shaped entryway to the front door. I notice a dark hook and wonder why it's there. Open the door and Dalynn says something like, "Tell me about your low prices."
My only response is, "Where is your sister?" I peek my head out the door some and notice a child running toward us in a Spiderman costume. Surely that's not her. I do a double take and now it is a boy of about 5 to 6 years of age in some crappy looking Spiderman/Superman costume. The boy pauses, looks at me, and rubs his nose with the back of his hand before running off. At first I thought it was my ex's step nephew but then the face clears up and I see that it is my son. I turn around and start to say something to my wife about his costume. It's just horrible and I want to know how let him wear that.

Then I realize that he isn't currently that old. He's not even walking on his own yet. I think, This might be a dream. I almost feel embarrassed doing a nose plug in front of my wife but I figure she's used to this by now. I blow through and loudly exclaim, "I am dreaming. YAHOOOOOOOOOO!" The dream starts to collapse right away so I just stand there screaming and shouting like an idiot.


I have a FA back in the same bed as before. I hear a knocking again and I walk to answer knowing that it will be my daughter asking about prices. I just dreamed this. I open the door and before she can speak I say in a cheesy game show host voice, "Ask me about our low prices!" I pause a second. "Oh wait. I might still be dreaming." I do a nose plug and find that I am. This time there is less excitement and I look around to take in the dream. I stare up at a bare tree growing in the yard and think what to do. At this point I hear my waking life son cry out. This doesn't wake me but it becomes very distracting. I know he wont let me dream much longer. I look around some more and see a dirt road and open pasture in front of me. The sky is cloudy and overcast and the air feels cool. There are a few houses to my right. I didn't realize it then but this area is very similar to a childhood town in TX. I notice how vivid and surreal the colors are. It's all very beautiful.

I see a white truck driving in the field and I want to RW fly to it. Again, I try to think of actual goals but I can't seem to remember now. I feel content to just explore this time. I focus on the tail gate and zoom to it, but just before I reach the truck I focus to another point. I can now feel light, cool, misty rain. I realize how odd this is to feel rain when I am dreaming. I smile and enjoy the sensation. There is a mansion on the other side of the pasture. I see manicured shrubs, a fountain in the middle of a circle drive and a large statue of a man on the right. I zoom to the statue and hold on to it as the dream fades out.

I feel like I could DEILD back in but I know my son's awake and I need to get up. He lets out another cry right on cue.
