Welcome to the March 2005 issue of Electric Dreams, your portal to dreams
and dreamwork online.
If you are new to dreams and dreamwork, there are a few lists where
Electric Dreams people seems to congregate. One is
dreamchatters@yahoogroups.com

.. and another is the IASD bulletin board. Please, no dreams interpreted
here, just discussion of dreaming and dreamwork topics.

I just wanted to let ED readers know that I am now working at the office for
the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD). If this
starts to produce a conflict of interest with the free speech policy in
Electric Dreams, I will hand the Editorial functions of ED over one of our
volunteer staff. However, I plan to continue keeping ED as a free speech
forum for dreamworkers, as long as speeches are related to dreams and
dreaming. If you feel I’m over-promoting IASD let me know. I plan to follow
our general precedent of providing support to all dream organizations, and
that often includes IASD news items of interest to the general dreamworking
community. Accordingly, if you have any questions or concerns and send them
to me, be clear if you do or don’t want your comments published.
This month in Electric Dreams:
Dreamwork pioneer, Patricia Garfield, Ph.D., explores the dark closets of
dreams and fantasy in her dream poem, THE MONSTER(La Bête Noire).
From LDE editor Lucy Gillis:
“Beginning with issue number 32, LDE[Lucid Dream Exchange] was very pleased
to include Quarterly Lucid Dreaming Challenges, hosted by Ed Kellogg. In
each issue, Ed provides a challenge for LDE readers to attempt, if they
wish, and suggestions to help them accomplish the task. Readers are
encouraged to share their results with LDE. “
The challenge this month is how to use dreams and alternative universes to
contact and join hands with your optimal self to help optimize your life. Be
sure to read this Excerpt From the Lucid Dream Exchange : “Tuning into Your
Optimal Self/Branching Parallel Universes” a "Lucid Dreaming Beyond Time
and Space" Task from E. W. Kellogg III, Ph.D.
It’s been a widely held view that dreams can help us understand what we are
repressing. If this is true, one of the most repressed of desires is our
desire to fly. Linda Lane Magallón (author of "Mutual Dreaming") explores
this topic more deeply in “Flying In Poetry and Prose.”
Jean Campbell founded the World Dream Peace Bridge to allow people to join
together to dream about subjects for particular goals in the world. This
month she discusses how one very useful aspect of sharing dreams with an
international group of dreamers is the variety of perspectives available on
any given subject. Be sure to read all about this in the View From the
Bridge.
Strephon Kaplan-Williams is a dreamwork pioneer who has been involved in
multi-cultural environments since his work in the 1970’s. The article here
in ED draws on this experience, and discusses how much of Anglo European
dreamwork often sees itself as the center of the dream universe, when in
fact dreamwork has always been more popular in other cultures. Be sure to
read “Reply to Anthony Shafton’s ‘Why So Few Blacks in the Dream Movement?’
“
In response to Robert Waggoner’s Dream Residents article last month [ED
12(2)], dream explorer pasQuale sent in some of the experiments taking place
at this online Lucid Dream Community and Lab. The primary issue for Waggoner
is the status of our dream characters, are they OURS or do they have some
claim to autonomous freedom and separate existence? pasQuale’s community
explores this more in “Testing the 'Realness' of DC's. (Dream Characters)”
Janet Garrett, who keeps up the wonderful collection of Electric Dreams
articles, continues adding older issues to the collection. These articles
contain a wide range of information for dreamers and dreamworkers. You can

When he was 83 years old, Mahfouz survived a stabbing by Islamic extremists.
During his long convalescence, he published accounts of his dreams in a
Cairo magazine. Paul Hecht reads from the English translation.

THE MONSTER
La Bête Noire
Patricia Garfield, Ph.D.
o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o
Mommy and Daddy are playing cards downstairs.
I lie beside the coats on someone’s bed in
The dark and say my prayers.
The door’s ajar enough to see the shapes of stuff.
I lace my fingers through the fur
Of a stranger’s cuff.
Below, the voices murmur, a muffled laugh lifts
Above the slap-slap of the cards
As drowsily I drift…
Suddenly I see It in the corner behind the door--
Bigger than Daddy, a monster with
Shaggy black hair—or—
Too scared to move, I whimper as I stare,
A crackle snaps across the floor,
A puff of breeze, a furry arm…a bear!
It’s going to pounce—I scream with all my might.
Clumping pounds up the stairs, clamor, uproar.
A glare of light.
“What’s wrong?” I point a shaky finger. “Where?”
Tear-streaked, I squeak, “There, there!”
Daddy pushes the door wide to reveal hanging
On its backside…
The bathrobe Beast in its fuzzy hide.

An Excerpt From The Lucid Dream Exchange
By Lucy Gillis
Beginning with issue number 32, LDE was very pleased to include Quarterly
Lucid Dreaming Challenges, hosted by Ed Kellogg. In each issue, Ed provides
a challenge for LDE readers to attempt, if they wish, and suggestions to
help them accomplish the task. Readers are encouraged to share their results
with LDE. Here is the first Lucid Dreaming Challenge. Why not give it a try
and see what happens?
***********************
LDE Quarterly Lucid Dreaming Challenge
September, 2004
by Ed Kellogg
(This new feature provides an unusual lucid dreaming task for LDE readers
with each new issue. Participants agree to accept personal responsibility
and all risks should they choose to undertake these tasks, which may
possibly bring about mental, emotional, and even physical changes. We
invite those of you who attempt these tasks to send your dream reports to
LDE.)
"Lucid Dreaming Beyond Time and Space" Task
((c)2004 E. W. Kellogg III, Ph.D.)
Tuning into Your Optimal Self/Branching Parallel Universes
Consider the idea that in some parallel reality another "you" made a
different set of choices, so that they became your optimal self, the self
actualizing your highest potentials. Your task: to tune into that alternate
optimal self and their life through your dreams, either by dreaming about
the life you would have lived had you made the necessary choices, or by
directly contacting your optimal self in a lucid dream. For example, you
might look for a dream mirror (or any other reflective surface, like a pool
of water, or a polished metal surface) and use it as a scrying tool to show
you your alternate self by chanting "Mirror, mirror that I see, / Show my
optimal self to me!". Record your experiences and / or the information that
you get in your dream journal in as much detail as possible - use
illustrations to depict your experiences if appropriate. Also, look for the
appearance of alternate selves or parallel universes in all of your dreams.
Often, after rehearsing lucid dreaming tasks before you go to sleep,
relevant information will show up even in your "ordinary" dreams - even when
you do not succeed in becoming lucid.
Preparation:
Step 1. Background reading:
Those of you who seem unfamiliar or uncomfortable with the concepts of
parallel universes and parallel selves, would do well to check out Dr. Max
Tegmark's article on the scientific evidence for parallel universes,
published in the May 2003 issue of The Scientific American. Dr. Tegmark's
article begins:
"Is there a copy of you reading this article? A person who is not you but
who lives on a planet called Earth, with misty mountains, fertile fields and
sprawling cities, in a solar system with eight other planets? The life of
this person has been identical to yours in every respect. But perhaps he or
she now decides to put down this article without finishing it, while you
read on.
The idea of such an alter ego seems strange and implausible, but it looks as
if we will just have to live with it, because it is supported by
astronomical observations. . . . "
Also, those of you who would like to explore similar concepts from a more
metaphysical point of view might find the discussion of "probable realities"
and of "possible selves" in Jane Roberts' book Seth Speaks (chapters 15 -
17) fascinating and illuminating. Taken together, an open minded reading of
Tegmark and Roberts should help you to get a better idea of multiverse in
which we may all live, and to facilitate the task by allowing your "common
sense self" to let go of limiting consensus trance beliefs that might stand
in the way of success.

Step 2. Defining your Optimal Self
Success in tasks of this kind depends in large part upon the lucid dreamer's
ability to focus on specific goals. In order for you to connect with your
"optimal self", you need to first define - in some detail - those
characteristics that you consider the most important. Most people would
include optimal health, but not everyone cares if their optimal self can
play the piano like a virtuoso, do back flips like an Olympic gymnast, or
play chess like a grand master! I suggest that you come up with at least
the six most important characteristics that would define your optimal self
before attempting this lucid dreaming task. Remember to include those
characteristics that matter the most to you, regardless of what others might
think. These can include anything - mental, emotional, physical, and even
spiritual characteristics as well as learned skills.
OPTIMAL SELF: Core Values (Please fill in at least your top 6)
1. (Health) 5.
2. 6.
3. 7.
4. 8.
Appendix:
An inspirational example from "Michael", a lucid dreamer who accomplished
this task.
3/29/04 "After slipping through several dreamscapes after taking galantamine
at 2 a.m., I experienced myself as totally lucid and aware in the dream
version of my apartment....... at that point I remembered the dream task,
and decided to find my optimal self by spinning all the electrons in my
dream body 178 degrees in order to create a door into the optimal alternate
reality where I would find my optimal self. I trusted my dream self,(in the
dream) to know how to do this in the dream state, having practiced it in
(real life) many times. I then picked up my magic dream wand which has a
counterpart in my real apartment, a double-ended crystal wand made of wood,
and made seven counterclockwise ellipses to create the door..... The door
appeared... (appearing as a vertical slit in the dreamscape that I was in,
and I stepped through)..... I then found myself outside a house on a porch
accompanied by a woman. I did not recognize her, but she was present
throughout the dream as an observer. Upon turning around on the porch, I saw
a male figure, and walked up to him and asked if he knew why I was there. He
replied that he knew, and I replied that I was on a task to meet my optimal
self . (An interesting suggestion by Ed Kellogg that I might switch bodies
with my optimal self morphed into the idea that I should steal it).........
This was stopped by a set of dream morals, and I simply asked my other self
if he would mind giving me some healthy DNA to replace my defective DNA
having to do with Bamboo Spine. My optimal self said he did not mind
extracting some, which he proceeded to do. Once in hand, my dream self
remembered that some of the fastest repairing cells in the body were in the
lips, so I took the DNA and inserted it into the lips with a needle-like
inserter, adding the instructions to create migratory cells to take it to
the spine. Upon completing this action, I asked my optimal self if I could
merge with him to absorb energy and information that would help my progress,
and he allowed it. After absorbing what I needed, I thanked him and stepped
back through the slit into what appeared to be my dream reality and found
myself lucid in my bed again..... At that point, I experienced another lucid
dream where I traveled to the house of my lucid dream teacher, Ed Kellogg,
who is a friend. and entered his house, went down the hallway toward his
room, and attempted to enter his room...... I was unable to do this, as
there was a barrier that I couldn't get through, so, at that point, I
experienced a less lucid dream where I saw a brick being put into place in a
garden and then saw a sink being cleaned from the perspective of the
cleaner... at that point, I was fading from lucidity and awoke without other
dreams to report............................."
Comment: Michael has a condition known as ankylosing spondylitis, a
condition characterized by a fused spine, normally accompanied by a great
deal of pain. Since accomplishing this dream task on 3/29/04, he has noticed
significant improvements both in his range of pain free movement, as well as
in overall spinal flexibility. He now has some limited flexibility in the
entire spine, and has also experienced improvement in vertebral adjustments.
Aside from these physical improvements, Michael reports improvements in
telepathy and in energy mastery.

Flying In Poetry and Prose
(From "How to Fly")
(c)2005 Linda Lane Magallon
o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o
Flying rises from a common human impulse that may be repressed by the waking
ego when we turn to workaday chores. But someone within still remembers that
primal yearning to reach for the skies. Leonardo Da Vinci agreed. He said,
"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes
turned skyward; for there you have been, and there you long to return." The
dreamer who flies is starborn.
What is this yearning, longing
That calls from infinity?
What quasar pulses endlessly
Pitched to my inner rhythms?
Hope quivers
Desires sunthrob
The winds of space flow through me
Playing on the strings of my being.
>From whence do they come?
Where do I go
To meet them?
Surrounded soundless I question
Who
am
I?
The sensual feeling of being a creature with fluttering feathers is
indescribable in words, though I have felt it in dreams. Since I've never
grown wings in waking life, how can this be? Through empathic imagination,
that's how. There's a red-talked hawks' nest visible at the top of a
eucalyptus tree in the property behind mine. Watching the hawks gliding the
invisible waves of wind is a favorite source of imagery. Wishing I were they
provides the emotional link to their form of flight. I am a secret
fledgling. I throw my desire into the boundless regions of air and, like an
arrow; it flies directly into the heart of my dreams.
If you were a bird, and lived on high,
You'd lean on the wind when the wind came by,
You'd say to the wind when it took you away:
"That's where I wanted to go today!"
Once I had a dream in which I was flying round and round in circles just
above the stalks in a cornfield. Other flyers were doing the same thing.
Flitting about like invisible sprites, we were all making crop circles - for
no other reason than, it was fun. Most flyers like flying dreams simply
because they're fun. And, some of them are.
But flying spans the entire range from agony to ecstasy, thus providing the
full range of expression for the emotional self. It can be a frightened
flight, fleeing the nightmare. It can be a peak experience, an emotional
"high," living at the pleasure of the wind. I have flown in patterns of
geometric beauty or whirling color, in the depth of darkness and in
phosphorescent light. But I can also float in the midst of nothingness where
there is no color, no light, no "I." Just existence. There can be feelings
of euphoria, bliss, satisfaction, realization, knowingness, religious awe or
love. The main purpose of flying is the sheer joy of the escape from
gravity, not the destination.
Dancing is flying high
an energy rush
body and soul
ecstatically united
Free form, like birds
playing warm breezes
swooping, diving
erratic thrusts
Breathing deeply
sweating profusely
moving effortlessly
Butterflies fly, and dance
petal to petal
move over honey
bee
Dance your dream
fly high
The famous "Ah ha!" experience is an emotional high. It comes from suddenly
seeing the bigger picture. Flying is an "Ah ha!" experience all by itself,
which means there is often no need to "interpret" it in traditional terms.
We can if we want to, but I think we might be missing the point. Flying is a
verb, not a noun, a happening, not a written language or frozen symbol. I
believe we don't get the meaning and significance of flying just by talking
about it. We fully "get" it only when we do it. We cannot catch the wind in
a net. Nor keep flight in a cage of words.
Some words are steeds with silver wings.
Some words will never fly:
They plod, poor grubby earthbound things,
And never reach the sky.
But if winged words you chance to see,
Steal up and clamber on -
And with the poem suddenly
Go soaring to the sun.
Do you know what the most popular flying myth is? Not Pegasus, that's for
sure. It's Myth of Icarus. It's told as a cautionary tale: don't reach too
high or you're bound to fall.
But you the pathways of the sky
Found first, and tasted heavenly springs,
Unfettered as the lark that sings,
And knew strange raptures, - though we sigh,
"Poor Icarus!"
Well, yeah, I agree, it doesn't pay to be stupid. But I've always found it
curious. It's never told as the tale of Daedelus. The tale of the clever one
with the sharp mind and right attitude and emotional maturity and clear
conscience who actually got all the way to his destination. Oh, no. We're
supposed to focus on the empty glass, not the full one. Fortunately, that's
a myth from the past, and we aren't chained to the past.
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die,
life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
It's a constant challenge for the flyer to overcome the Kryptonite forces of
amnesia, conformity and mundane thinking which do not permit the spirit to
soar freely. It is a trial of strength to overcome the gravity of those
forces.
But dream flying can actually strengthen the psyche. It helps keep the mind
flexible, promoting resilience and even courage. Because the flyer has
choice and flexibility, flying supports the belief in free will, rather than
fate. Flying provides opportunity for flexibility and freedom, expanded
perception and exploration of dream space. When we learn to balance of the
currents of dream, we can ride them, not fall into the deep ocean of
atmosphere.
Let brisker youths their active nerves prepare
Fit their light silken wings and skim the buxom air
To take appropriate risks on your hero's journey requires a clear
perspective. From the heights we can hover and view virtual life as though
peering down from a glass-bottomed boat though a crystal sea to see the
sights on the ocean floor below. From the air, life is put into new patterns
and glazed over with serenity. With a wider, clearer view of situations, new
options for dealing with problems become available. Because flying is an
expansion of perception, a wide view provides us with a better sense of
overall direction and destiny. With a beautiful, magnificent view, it seems
we can see forever.
Sometimes we fly to Tucson,
Sometimes we fly with friends,
Sometimes we soar in two on,
The hope that our wings will mend.
But any way our compass turns,
North, West, up or down
I always fly alone quite best,
When others are around.
Flying can take us places. Above the geometry of the land, the symmetry of
the sea. Seeing strings of jeweled islands and undulating hills and sights
so hidden from earth view that pedestrians know them only as dim tales from
distant lands. Swiftly, I've been to sacred sites like Stonehenge in my
dreams. Or inside a space ship, warping through time travel, on my way to a
past life. Or to the far ends of the galaxy, swooping past the planets,
utterly unlost in the universe of the self. Flying allows me to travel

infinity.
The flyer breaks each second into new, uncharted territory, traveling beyond
the habitual dream world, broadening the mind. The very act of flying is
transformational magic, absorbing our restless side and leaving contentment
or awe in its stead. Through flying, we embody the spirit of being one with
something larger than ourselves.
Throw your dream into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will
bring back...
So, let's blow the lid off the creative glass ceiling - to soar above the
limits of mundane, waking ego constraints to the heights of magical dream
life.

The View From the Bridge
February/March, 2005
Jean Campbell
o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o
One very useful aspect of sharing dreams with an international group of
dreamers is the variety of perspectives available on any given subject.
This month, for example, following the DaFuMu Dream for World Peace on
February 15th, May wrote:
"I noticed that my dreams of late are much less tranquil. I used to dream
much more of outdoor places, especially about water. That is almost all gone
and I miss them. I connect nature dreams with introspection and being in
tune with oneself.... I would like to find a medium ground where I can both
act upon my inner energy as well as going into tranquility sometimes. Does
activism and compassion always have to be agitating?"
It is undoubtedly true that focusing on Peace, provides a focus on the lack
of Peace that so much of the world suffers; yet May also sent this dream and
the note following it after the DaFuMu dreaming:
WEAPONS ON DISPLAY
It is just an image I see on a well laid-out, long table, as in an exhibit.
It is covered with either a white or a red table cloth. On this table are
rifles or whatever you call those long ones, and a few pistols. They look
clean and shining, being displayed for show. I am just passing by, not
paying much attention to it. EOD
"Then, this morning, I got a brief post from Ali." May said. "He is already
in Amman, Jordan, and had already talked to Mazen on the phone. The plan I
made for them (!) is they can go shopping for the Iraqi children. I'm sure
they will.
"I was concerned for Ali and his colleagues driving down to Jordan. He told
me it is still dangerous. As in my dream, guns were lying down. He even said
he enjoyed the ride! He sounded so relieved. I am too.
"You see, dreams ARE useful." Baomei
The international flavor of the dreaming permeated the DaFuMu. Dreams from
three other members of the group also contained transoceanic (transworld?)
views. Olivia wrote from England:
DREAM OF SPANISH ENGINEERS
I sit with a group of Spanish Engineers, men in their upper twenties. We sit
around a low table, informally. One of them speaks of the group's aid
project, he speaks English. He then proceeds to translate for one of the
others, and I say I understand some Spanish.
I immediately wish I hadn't, my Spanish, I realise, has all but gone for
lack of use, and this man speaks fast, in what seems a flat, urban accent,
omitting syllables and letters all the way. I somehow get that he gives me
the engineering spiel of the project - which would likely not have meant
much to me in plain English, even!
When he has finished they all look at me, waiting for what I can offer. I
feel terribly embarrassed, and begin, almost falteringly, to tell them that
I belong to this group... I fish around for the words... World... Dreams...
(try to say that in a dream! - Makes me think the other communication came
across telepathically.)
"...Peace Bridge", the first man fills in for me. They have seen it on the
web. I think I say something about them getting in touch...
Valley, who lives in Texas, but is part of an international community there,
sent this dream:
WHIRLING BEAUTY AND DIVINE MADNESS
I am dreaming I am standing in my bedroom and looking out my window into my
backyard. I see small purple flowers blowing in the wind and I am fascinated
by the beautiful, unusual flowers and how many of them are blowing dancing
in the wind outside my window. Then from the distance blowing toward me I
see a large White Magnolia Flower that is open all the way. It blows into my
window and bangs loudly startling me in my dream.
I become awake and realize I am dreaming. I then find myself in an intimate
dream with my partner Hadi. He is discussing with me how I am human and of
course I have physical needs. After this intimate interlude I am looking
for him and I cannot find him. He is in a restaurant called The Cosmic
Cafe. He has foam coming out of one of his eyes. It is a form of divine
madness one gets after seeing god. He goes to the owner of The Cosmic Cafe
and asks him if there is a cure for this. Praveen, the owner, tells him
there is no cure and he has got it too. The chef in the kitchen of The
Cosmic Cafe has also got it. There is no cure for this divine madness. EOD
"I wake from this dream with a strong sense of loss," Valley comments,
"especially from the magnolia flower. It stays with me all day, making me
feel heartbroken and extremely vulnerable. The dream feels like it is about
loss and greiving of something beautiful. It also had a feeling of the
presence of god, and of passing on or of some kind of spiritual transition.
The divine madness seems to be about not being able to fully make the
transition, to be caught in transition....
"In terms of the world the white magnolia flower is about Peace and the loss
of that flower. It is in full bloom It reminds me of when the Iraq war
started on the first day of spring....
"There was one more peson in the kitchen, who also had this divine madness.
I don't know who he is or what country he is from, but something is cooking
in the kitchen."
From Australia, Kathy sent the following dream:
"Dear everyone," she said. "I did dream on the 15th. It doesn't seem like a
mandala of peace dream, but it is.
HUNTING FOR WHAT I KNOW I HAVE
I see this lady lying on a great ball. She has on a diaphanous gold-yellow
dress with thin shoulder straps and a beautiful rose made of the same
material.
I'm looking for the material. I know I have to make the undershift of a
green satin. I see wonderful material on a spool, all sorts of exotic silks
shot with colours. But I'm intent on finding this simple green satin. EOD
"The green and gold colours signify 'new home' to me. They've been in my
dreams for a long time associated with 'Villa Nova'. But green as the
undergarment also reminds me of the green of compassion (which is I guess
the companion to the negative expression of the same energy: green for
envy), the energy of recognizing others.
NOW somehow this seems connected to the discussion of Dr Ali and the money.
To give a gift is an enormously difficult thing to do. To receive a gift
is equally difficult...
"For to me such difficulties can be solved with compassion. BUT HOW?
That will come as we pay attention to the dreams and to our awarness....YES
RETURN TO DREAMS - tonight I will dream to open my heart in this context."
Being on the Peace Bridge though is not entirely about dreams. It is also
about just noticing the differences in our respective worlds. A week after
the DaFuMu dreaming, Kotaro wrote from Tokyo that the Spring Wind had begun
to blow:
"Kochi fukaba nioi okoseyo Ume no hana aruji nashi tote Haru na wasureso.
"'When the EAST WIND blows, you, the flowers of plum, must give the parfume
and don’t forget the Spring even though I, your master, am not there.
(ancient song).'
Here , Kochi means the East Wind."
And Kathy returned:
"Ale wa kochi no kereina name desu. Welcome Kochi!!
"In Australia (northern part/east coast anyway) we are waiting and waiting
for the rains to come! We should have had a wet season by now to end the
hot, sweltering, humid summer days. No real rain yet. No rain last year
either. I think we are in the down cycle of the El Nino. If so, this will
continue for a few years. NOT good. Australia is a pretty dry land!
"To all of you welcoming Spring, hello from the land where we are waiting
for rain and the beginning of cooler months (which some from the edges of
the world like to call autumn!!)."

Reply to Anthony Shafton’s
“Why So Few Blacks in the Dream Movement?”
By Strephon Kaplan-Williams
o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o
To comment on the above article, Why So Few Blacks in the Dream Movement? I
would have to suggest that the title itself is misleading.
First, Shafton assumes I think that the dream movement is centered around
ASD, and around whites, but even this is fallacious thinking.
In terms of individuals interested in dreams and dreamwork I don't see that
the broad categories, black and white, apply. Among those of African origin
I have known as a Berkeley, California dreamworker in the sixties, seventies
and eighties, conducting as many as seven dream groups a week, I never found
that being of African origin made a difference, or united all of African
origin in any way. Nor did I find that among the whites I worked with that
there was anything universal in being of lighter skin color.
So, trying to put millions of people into the general categories of black
and white, and drawing conclusions, such as in this article, does not work
for me in my experience or in my ability to think through issues. Let me
illustrate.
I have had people of African genetic origin in my dream groups. But also of
Spanish genetic origin, Mexican genetic origin, Jewish genetic origin,
Catholic, Chiristian, non-religious, wealthy, poor and so on. I have had
women in my dream groups, and men. I have had homosexuals and lesbians and
non-sexuals in my dream groups. I have had students and professionals and
family people, mothers, housewives and so on.
Am I then to ask why there are not more mothers in my dream groups, or
homosexuals, and so on? Each of these sub-groups are minorities when placed
in opposition to the rest of the members called dream group members.
Categorizing blacks and whites, Jews and gentiles and so on, I consider a
form of prejudice. For the categories do not hold and therefore are based on
labeling others, a subjective way of viewing people.
So if I viewed by numbers blacks and whites in my dream groups then I would
see far fewer blacks in the groups. But the same would happen if I saw the
two categories as homosexuals versus non-homosexuals. Why are there not more
homosexuals in the dreamwork movement than there are? What a wonderful
speculation. Not really.
My fundamental position has always been to see people as persons. I of
course looked for cultural differences but I did not find any of these
influences as clearly definable or crucial.
I have had whites who have had murdered family members and blacks who have
had murdered family members. Many have not had murdered family members. A
number of dream group members have been raped, as well as suffered other
types of violence. All have wanted and needed help in how to problem-solve
life issues.
Using the method, Following the Dream Ego, it is fairly easy to see that in
many people's dreams they are not effective as problem solvers so this is
one area we focus on. If your racial or cultural influence is important to
you in terms of self-identity, then we deal with this as it shows up in
dreams.
In this objective and functional approach we use the dream as the primary
focus. We problem-solve. We look at the conflicts and inadequacies in the
dreams and work at new ways and solutions for handling these problems which
apply to dream life and to waking life.
We don't worry about cultural or racial issues. We deal with the problem.
I would be far more concerned about the different approaches to doing
dreamwork with the dream. I have just stated that one strong emphasis in
doing the functional approach to dreamwork is teaching problem-solving. What
then are other dreamworkers teaching in relating to dreams? I don't know,
frankly, and would like to.
Sticking to our focus on dreams seems the best. Why create problems
impossible to solve?

Testing the 'Realness' of DC's.
(Dream Characters)
by pasQuale
o|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|+|o
DC = Dream Character
SG - Spirit Guide
SD = Shared DreamGate
LD = Lucid Dream
Essay of experiment conducted in the LD4all lucid laboratory (
http://forum.ld4all.com )
It all began with this theory:
A dream is just a different world, and your DC's can be real people. So, not
just your subconscious...
An extended theory is that there are different kinds of DC's.
1. made up by your subconscious and symbolize something.
2. real ppl (shared dreaming)
3. spiritual beings like spirit guides.
4. ?
To find this out the experiment was started:
So to learn more about DC's let's interview them. As explora has pointed
out, it is important what you ask and how you ask it. If you don't get an
answer first time, try rephrasing the question and ask again.
Here are some questions to get you started but you can make up your own
interview.
I want to know if you are real(1) or a product of my imagination(2)
(1)-Do you live on earth right now? (If so: ask for name, birthday,
password, things like that.)
(2)-what do you symbolize then/ why do you appear in this form in my dream?
ask on, like:
- how did you end up here in my dream, do you symbolize something?
- where do you come from then?
- from another dimension?
- from another planet?
- from another 'plane'?
- are you a spirit guide?
- what's your name?
- do you always appear like this?
- have i seen you before in another shape/form?
- can we meet again? (how, where)
remember, the purpose of this experiment is to find out more about the DC
you are interviewing and in particular if he/she is real or part of your
imagination. So that should be the first thing you want to find out.
_________________
The results:
As each participant encountered and questioned the DC's we found out that
indeed there are different kinds of DC's. And that DC's are made up by your
subconscious as well as 'real' DC's. With 'real' i mean: a seperate entity
not made up by you.
As the experiment went on we found out that by asking directly if a DC is a
product of your subconscious gives a clear 'yes' or 'no'. We also discovered
another category "Dreamgods" who seem to be very powerful beings.
As each participant encountered and questioned the DC's we found out there
are different kinds of DC's. Some answers could be quite surprising.
One participant was shown a graph in her dream with a list of different
levels of DC's.
pasQuale wrote:
I had a dream in which i was shown a piece of paper with notes on it, it was
like some kind of graph and looked a bit like this:
1. | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7| 8| 9(?) |
in it where descriptions, and it was like everything followed on each other,
like every number a new level above the previous.
it read:
1. Normal DC
2. group DC ? (can't remember)
3. ?
4. SG
5. Group SG
7. SG teacher
8. group teacher
9 high teacher (?)
-----
I now proceed with the findings so far, with some quotes from participant's
dreams to illustrate. All dreams can be found in the thread part I and II.
1 = DC's made up by your subconscious.
Mostly, these are thee ones that look at you blankly, walk away from you or
just give nonsense replies. These DC's can feel 'hollow' - as if they are
mere shadows or projections.
tomas wrote:
This time dcs would only repeat the question i asked, like some mindless
zombies...
TimeLess_Soul wrote:
To me a DC can feel hollow; sorta like a picture, you just kinda feel them
as part of your self or at least that is what i get.
However, if asking them the right question, they can offer valuable advice.
Learjet wrote:
I come across 2 young girls one about 3 or 4 and one a little older. Asking
each one what they would like to tell me one said "I would like some food"
she did mention exactly what but I can't remember now. Maybe it was a jam
tart or something with jam or cream in it anyway. Having 2 responses now
with food it wasn't hard to see a pattern emerging. You see I went back to
sleep instead of getting up and having something to eat - I was hungry.
These DC's can also be controlled by you in a LD:
pasQuale wrote:
I tried this out with one of the non responding DC's. I willed him to walk
in a certain direction or do movements and indeed, he was like a puppet on a
string, very funny 2='shared DC'
These aren't made up by your subconscious, but aren't 'real' either. They
seem to pick up certain energies and from there appear as a DC.
pasQuale wrote:
one DC remains. I ask him who he is. He answers: today i'm jack, candy, jill
and ivy. (names like that, can't remember correct names, but there where
four)
i say what's that with you DC's and all those names? this is the 3rd time i
meet someone like you. What's the story on those names, how does that work?
(...)
The thing i remember about it that it had something to do with soul energy
the DC picks up to apppear in that particular form in your dream.
pasQuale wrote:
then i meet a DC who says: No, i'm not part of your subconscious.
I say: really? then how did you end up in my dream then?
he looks at me with an attitude like: "what a stupid question. I could tell
you but you ould never understand, if you even have to ask this question.
pasQuale wrote:
In the dream i asked the question: are you a product from my subconscious to
a lot of DC's.
One told me 'no' or 'partly' (cannot remember clearly).
He said: well, this action i did by myself, but when i turned like that it
was you who did that. (something like that - meaning: some of his actions
where controlled by me and others he did of his own)
3= shared dream.
Participants recall DC's who stated that they where dreaming and they were
real. Alas those DC's disappeared soon after that or could never been
verified as being shared dreams. (giving passwords etc, or shared DC didn't
remember dream IRL)

One was a girl who told me that she was real and she was dreaming. I then
told her I was dreaming. she vanished.
TimeLess_Soul wrote:
I look at the old woman and say something long the lines of "are you real or
are you created by my subconscious?" she looks at me. she knew this was
coming. she speaks in a powerful voice " i am real dear"
TimeLess_Soul wrote:
i had taken my jacket off as it wasn’t cold anymore inside my dream.
she said" arnt you cold without a jacket?" i said "nope" she was still in a
dream with snow and saw me in a shirt in the cold. not smart i saw her in a
heavy jacket in the warm air. i held her around the waist and she seemed to
sorta come into my dream. ( hard to explain). i teleport to a different
dream area and lose lucidity but still have some degree of awareness.
4= deceased / spirits
This one hovers between SG and SD but deserves a seperate category.
DC's have been encountered who say they have passed away.
pasQuale wrote:
I say to her: i want to know if you are a real person or that you are made
up by my subconscious.
she says: well, i'm real
I (happy): really? So, are you, shall i say, living on earth right now? (to
know if this is a shared dream or not)
she: no, i'm a spiritual being.
5 = spirit guides.
Now this is a tricky one. As explora's dream illustrates, SG's can take on
forms of ppl you know IRL.
explora wrote:
I once met my dad in a lucid dream. But this was different. He was helping
me with controlling my dream!
i was a bit surprised!! I said, 'Now, you're not my dad are you?'..
'No, I'm not'
'Are you some kind of spirit guide?'
'Yes'
'So do guides often use the images of people who are close to us?'
'Yes. They're like our number plates for identification'
6. dream teachers.
Dream teachers are what the name implies: teachers. They teach you things in
your dream. It can be about anything. The dreams with DT's in them often
take place in a setting with some kind of blackboard where things are
explained or some kind of instructional area like a classroom.
7. Watchers
These still remain elusive....
8. dream Gods.
These seem to be the most powerful DC's.
TimeLess_Soul wrote:
Another group of beings that i have met call themselves the dream gods, they
are creatures that hold power over the dream world much like lucidity but a
lot more of it. On my time that i have met with them i feel from them just
lucidity all over, total control is what they emit.
---
conclusion so far:
indeed, there are many kinds of DC's. The problem is that DC's can lie also.
They will say they are your SG while in fact they are not.
It is now clear that indeed there are DC's made up from your subconscious
and 'Real' DC's. But it has turned out that there are different
categories/levels of 'Real' DC's. This is an interesting area to explore.
In most cases the 'real' DC's will tell you that they are real when you ask
them if they are real or made up by your subconscious.
The experiment continues! We are curious to meet the Watchers, the DreamGods
and the Dream Teachers. What can they tell us? Who are they?
---
As a bonus some interesting information given by DC's in the
participant's dreams:
Quote:
"The auto-conscious is like the subconscious. Every feeling, thought, words,
and image from the auto-conscious is stored in the subconscious. DC's use
those to appear".
Quote:
We dream in the mind, but we are all connected, what you
believe is happening happens. if something isn't with you it isn't part of
your dream. Your dream was cold, mine was warm. In your dream there was snow
and i didn't have a jacket on. In mine it was warm and normal for me to go
without. It wasnt with me, that is why it is still cold"
Quote:
Not last night but a little while ago can't remember the date i asked a DC
why they were here and they told me "to keep you from eing lonely". They
have given me this answer twice now.
Quote:
"Together we make the dream come into being" (something like
that). (the meaning was that i not alone dreamt it up but the dream is
dreamt by all characters in that dream)

Dream date: Summer 2003
Dreamer name: Sct
Dream text: I was dreaming when all of a sudden my dream was being pushed
away until it was forced to fade. The thing that pushed it away was not a
voice, but it "spoke" to me. It said, "Justin is calling. Wake up. Wake
up. Justin is calling you. Wake up!" Just then I woke up and as I lay in
my bed I felt groggy and puzzled.
Dream comments: Right after my dream (about 5 seconds after I woke up) my
phone rang. The cell phone said -Justin Cell.... I answered it, but instead
of saying hello, I spewed all at once what had happened... My dream stopped
because something in my dream told me to wake up because the phone was for

Dreamer name: anonymous
Dream text: I dreamt that I was on the biggest longest bridge you could
imagine. I was driving up the bridge with a few of my family members, and
the bridge was getting to a point where it was too steep to drive up. The
car soon lost control and started to roll back. It was so frightening
because I had no control over the vehicle and me and all of my family was
doomed to die. The car crashed into a ditch where it soon caught on fire and
we all exploded and died.

Dream date: 1/20/05
Dreamer name: CR
Dream text: I saw my step dad's father who just passed away earlier in the
week. I saw him and it was weird because I knew he was dead and yet he was
just around us. I felt a little scared but I didn't want to him to know for
some reason. The same thing happened when my little brother was killed.
After returning home after the funeral, I saw my little brother walking
around in his white suit. I knew he was dead. I felt the same feeling. I
felt scared but I didn't show it.

Dream title: Inner strength
Dream date: none given
Dreamer name: anonymous
Dream text: The same girl keeps trying to fight me. I approach her and start
swinging and trying to hit her with all of my strength. For some reason I
know that I need to beat her, I can feel it. I keep trying harder and
harder. All of my strength each time I feel weaker and weaker. For some
reason it has no effect on her. She just simply stands and stares at me. I
can't see her face; all she does is glare at me. With each swing I become
more and more angry, hurt, and scared.
Dream comments: This dream has happened for one week straight. In each dream
there is a crowd watching and my ex-boyfriend is there watching. We still
talk and had been a couple for 4 1/2 years

Dreamer name: SB
Dream text: My ex and I are driving in his car, then we stop somewhere. I
start flying up to the very top of these pine trees. I find some secrets of
his and he starts telling me to stop and not look at those. While he's
saying that, he's trying to climb the pine tree; I tell him you can't climb
pine trees. So I go from one tree to the next, finding all these things he
has been hiding from me. The only thing is that I don't know what these
things are. I know they are secrets, but I don’t know what they are! But in
my dream I get really pissed every time I find a secret.
Dream comments: Why do I still dream about my ex and does this mean he was
hiding something from me?

is shooting at another plane and then at the building I am in. Then the
plane starts shooting at everything around me. Then my dad, mom, brother and
I were packing up our things and trying to run to the car and take off, but
someone told us to stop. They said that "they will find you. You can not
run from them. Go back into the house." When we looked out of the house,
bullets and planes were flying everywhere. Then we tried to dig into the
ground and hide.

Dream title: My Baby girl Blues
Dream date: 1/28/05
Dreamer name: EC
Dream text: I was sitting on the sofa and my partner was smiling at me and a
doctor walked over to me and handed me this cute adorable newborn baby. The
doctor said "Congratulations Jackie". I smiled and held out my arms. I
looked at the doctor whom I have never seen in my whole entire life. I
looked at the baby and it was wearing this cute jean overalls pants and a
baby white t-shirt but had ruffles on the overalls. I replied to the doctor,
"It’s a boy isn't it?" I said that because I have 3 boys and no girls. And
the doctor replied "No, Jackie it’s a girl!" First thing that popped in my
head was the abortion I had before my last child. I have had surgery to not
have any more children after my last boy. I held that baby girl so tight and
cried and cried. I woke up crying.
Dream comments: I am still crying about the dream when I think about it
because that baby I had before my youngest, (the one I aborted) could have
been the baby girl that I've always wanted. I held that baby so tight I
didn't want to let go. I’m crying as I write this dream to you right now.

Dream text: I’m walking with a fish bowl and I’m am pouring fresh water in
it. All the sudden the water starts to turn green, and I can hear the fish
dying and gasping for air. I frantically try to save the fish but it jumps
out of the bowl. It is bleeding and it dies on a piece of white paper. I
then bury it; I put it in a coffin and buried it like you would a human.
Dream comments: I was confused as to why the fish was dying and I was scared
when I saw the dead fish

Dream date: 4/25/04
Dreamer name: YA
Dream text: I'm running through a town made of stone and there is no one
there but there is someone behind me with the meanest look on their face. I
run faster and faster and they can’t catch me then I trip. I fall on the
ground and can’t get up. Then this person catches up with me and I scream
so loud and no one comes out of the houses to see what’s wrong.
Dream comments: I woke up before this dream ended so I have no comments
about it.

Dream date: 1-27-05
Dreamer name: 2nd time

to get in my patio door. She was looking at my front door. A blonde, tall,
thin man uses a key to open my front door and comes in; I attack him with a
large knife when I stab him. He doesn’t fall down. I drive the knife
through his heart and twist it, to make sure he was dead.
The second dream a few days later, a man was attacking a relative. I also
stabbed him in the leg and foot, but this didn’t stop his attack.

Dream text: I was at my school and I was just leaving because we had a game.
I was walking down the long hallway and I heard some guy say my name. I was
almost to the door and the he pulled my arm turned me around and he kissed
me. The kiss really sucked. I turned around and said you wasted my first

candles. I'm unconscious at the beginning, but by when I come to, I look up

Dream date: 1/24/05
Dreamer name: anonymous
Dream text: I went up my horse that was in the stable and I found my two
best mates there. As I walked into the stable, my horse had turned into a
goat. I did not see it at first but then I realized that it was not my
horse. In fact, it was one of the farm goats that lives on the island of
grass at the stables
Dream comments: none
Dream title: The man
Dream date: 1/22/05
Dreamer name: M
Dream text: I had these dreams a lot when I was little. In fact my mom
broke her nose because I screamed so loud. First he’s chasing me and I can’t
really make out his face and then he pushes me up against the wall and pulls
out a knife and I scream and wake up.
Dream comments: When I’m awake, I feel someone beside me and it’s him and he
’s blue and under the covers and I screamed. The strange thing is that part
wasn’t in the dream I was really awake and that’s what really scares me.
Dream title: To know the fact of my life
Dream date: 02/02/05
Dreamer name: JN
Dream text: I saw myself having sex with one of my family friends who is
going to marry me in the dream. He is building his new house where he plans
to keep me. I see my kids who are minors playing near a railway track where
trains passes but my kids survive.

me unhealthy and stressful.

Dream title: the weirdest thing ever
Dream date: none given
Dreamer name: wt
Dream text: It starts out at this house me and my dad bought. I’m 15, and we
are this party and everything is fine. My dad and his friends are outside
and I am up in the attic. This girl tells me that there is a robber
downstairs shooting everyone and to stay up here. Next thing I know I am
sitting on the floor while this man is sitting in this chair. My dad comes
up behind him and shoots and kills him. My dad and I leave and drive away.
The next day at school I run into the high school hotty. He asks if I like
him and I say yes. We go to the library in class and he is in there. He
helps me with my homework and then he takes me to next door to this
hotel/restaurant and buys me cereal and orange juice. It costs 400 dollars.
Then we go to kiss and this gun fires and I wake up.
Dream comments: What is going on? It was so scary!
Dream title: recurring nightmare
Dream date: 1/4-7/05
Dreamer name: My
Dream text: The dream always started out the same we (my boyfriend and I)
are walking along the beach. I am in my 4th term of pregnancy and the waves
gently crashing along the beach. The sky is bluer than polished glass and
clearer as well. No clouds except on the horizon. All of a sudden the sky
turns from blue to red and the water turns black. I’m scared and cling to
my boyfriend, as a tornado-like thing comes sweeping down. It carries him
off, knocking me out flat on the sand. I apparently wake up and I’m not on
the beach anymore. I’m on a cloud-like thing and it was black as the water.
My clothes were replaced with a once white dress (it’s cut in certain parts
around the hem and bloody around the middle). Then this monster comes out
from a wooden door and holds a scalpel. He presses this button and my
wrists and ankles are hooked to the cloud thing. He walks over and starts
cutting on my abdomen, like doctors would if they were giving a C-section.
I’m just lying there, not doing anything. I don’t feel the pain at all
while he’s cutting me. Then he's holding this little thing in his hand and
turns away. He presses the button again my ankles and wrists to unlock them
and he walks out of the room. He does not look back or anything. I look
down and there are stitches in my stomach area. I faint and when I wake up
again. I’m on the beach with my boyfriend, like nothing happened. But
there was one difference...I was wearing the dress with the blood stains and
cuttings and my stomach was flat.
Dream comments: I was pregnant in the beginning of the year but I lost it
two days after I had this dream.
Dream title: My unborn baby
Dream date: A couple times a week
Dreamer name: JG
Dream text: A couple times a week, I will have this dream that I give birth
to a baby boy. It’s always a boy, he always looks the same, and he always
has the same name. Sometimes the childbirth is painful and sometimes I don’
t feel it. The dream seems so real that when I wake up I’m not sure if it’s
true or not. In the dream I am very attached to my baby, but soon after I
have him (and we are in the process of leaving the hospital to go home)
someone takes my baby. I let someone hold him and then he is gone. When I
wake up I miss this baby like I really gave birth to him.
Dream comments: I’ve never had any children in real life. I’m 22 and I just
got married. I love children and can’t wait to have them but I’m scared now
because I’m afraid someone will take my baby away. I don’t know why the
baby is always a boy and I don’t know why I have this dream so often. It’s
a great mystery to me.
Dream title: Car wreck
Dream date: 2/1/05
Dreamer name: Crazy
Dream text: I had a dream that Iven and Orlando, two of my close friends at
college, were in a terrible car accident. Iven and I were a lot closer to
each other than Orlando. Iven died in the car crash and Orlando was okay.
Dream comments: I was also talking in my sleep saying, "Where is O, where is
my poor Orlando".
Dream title: I saw a lady climbing mango tree, and pick a fruit
Dream date: 2/11/2005
Dreamer name: Ml
Dream text: I was swimming in a river, with three others. When we came up
the river, there was a high road. Then I saw a woman climbing up the mango
tree picking up some ripe mango, which we ask to have few pieces.
Dream comments: none
Dream title: Going back in time
Dream date: 2/8/05
Dreamer name: Ren
Dream text: I went back in time to talk to an actor who I like. I told him
I was in the future. He asked me if I could prove it. I couldn't because it
would cause a paradox in time. We were in a bedroom and there was a
king-sized bed. He was with his girlfriend at that moment.
Dream comments: Can you go back in "time" and change things if you know you’
re dreaming?
Dream title: water
Dream date: 2-7-05
Dreamer name: anonymous
Dream text: I dreamed about I was with this guy I like and he kept rejecting
me and coming back. Then all of the sudden we were in a place like the ocean
with a huge snake surrounding us. He was drowning and the water was murky.
I was looking at him with his family outside.
Dream comments: I have dreams related to water often and with him with his
family in it.
Dream title: FLOOD
Dream date: 02/11/05
Dreamer name: BELL
Dream text: My two boys, husband and I were climbing up a mountain. There
were two pigs in a field as we continued to climb. In the distance we see a
house. As we got close to it, we could see it was built with steel and
watertight doors. As I went in, I walked up to the second floor. I looked
out the window and I could see a large amount of water coming at us. I
yelled at my family to get in the house quickly and close the door. The
water comes up to the window. I looked out as the water went down and we
could see the pigs in the trees behind the house. As we looked out the
window in the direction of the water there was nothing left.
Dream comments: none
Dream title: very strange
Dream date: 02/10/2005
Dreamer name: fluffy
Dream text: I was living in a nice big house and I was called by my
daughter. I went into the kitchen and she was looking outside. I looked
out the window and saw two young girls. One was plump and the other was
thin and tall. They were running from two bears, the plump girl was ahead
of the other girl. She was up some stairs and the thin girl was hanging
from the banister. One of the bears had reached out and grabbed the thin
one by the face they were both screaming. The thin girl got away but her
face was dripping with blood. The bears were pacing back and forth waiting
for us to come outside. At that moment my boyfriend called from the back
bedroom and asked me what was going on. I told him and he was still
annoyed.
At that moment the little girl turned into a little boy. Somehow I knew
that he was the only one who was able to help us out, and he knew the same.
It was raining outside but it was not gloomy out. There were pine trees and
a lot of bushes in the yard, with a fence that was covered with bushes. The
sun was not out but it was still a little bright outside.
Then at that moment the dream changed. We were at the beach and we had
walked into an arena. As we walked into the ground floor, we noticed that
the people were scared and running. We went up the stairs in a small
hallway. A woman and a child ran down the stairs as we walked down the
hallway. There was a bear there and he was wounded - he had blood on his
belly.
Then the bear started to talk to the little boy and said that not all the
bears were bad. He also told the little boy that he was the chosen one, who
would be able to help everyone out. He had a small pear in his hand that
looked so feeble that it did not look as if you could do anything. Then at
that moment I saw a man’s spirit who was talking for the bear. He was an
Indian man in full dress then the dream ended.
Dream comments: I have no kids.
Dream title: Two headed baby
Dream date: 2/12/05
Dreamer name: anonymous
Dream text: I HAD A DREAM THAT I WAS PREGNANT, AND WHEN THE BABY WAS BORN IT
HAD TWO HEADS. WHEN I WENT INTO LABOR I FELL DOWN A HILL. I WANTED TO CALL
MY FIANCE’S STEP-MOTHER TO TELL HER I WAS HAVING A BABY.
Dream comments: WHAT DOES THIS DREAM MEAN?
Dream title: Church and the Pope
Dream date: 02/02/05
Dreamer name: DD
Dream text: I enter a church and the Pope is giving a mass. I walk down the
aisle and step up onto a piece of metal flooring. There is someone next to
me. Although my mind runs through numerous people, I never truly know who
it is (I suspect it is Jesus). I start to be raised up as if I am in a
cherry picker, higher and higher but I never lost sight of the Pope. I go
higher and higher, panicking a little (I am afraid of heights). But since I
have someone next to me and that I see the Pope giving his sermon – I am
calm. Eventually we stop and I speak with this person next to me. Then we
start to come down and I feel oddly relaxed.
Dream comments: I am not a very religious person. I was raised RC but have
not been to mass in quite awhile.
Dream title: Three black roses
Dream date: 9/10/04
Dreamer name: NE
Dream text: I was sitting at the top of a rock at the beach while viewing
the sunset. One guy came and gave me a red rose and said goodbye. After
that, I noticed that the rose he gave to me turned black. Another guy came
and the same happened. A third guy came and the same happened.

Dream title: Octopus-like aliens
Dream date: 2-19-05
Dreamer name: GM
Dream text: Last night monsters were coming out from the sky. I was
barefoot. I was scrambling through this thrift store for clothes for my son
to keep him warm. There were lots of other people hiding under things.
Craziness.
Dream comments: It was weird.
Dream title: Help me
Dream date: 2/19/05
Dreamer name: MC
Dream text: I was walking down a long hallway and I could hear my voice
saying “help me” over and over again. I ran to open all these doors but none
of them would open. As I struggled to open the doors, my voice kept saying
“help me before it’s too late.”
Dream comments: I think I was asking for help in my dream because I have
been under a great deal of stress. I am overwhelmed but I am not sure
really about it all.
Dream title: Field of yellow
Dream date: 02-16-05
Dreamer name: Anonymous
Dream text: I was standing along the sidewalk of a yellow flower-filled
field, with one hill that seems to be the center of the view. There was one
building (barn) to the left of my view, that had a deck in the back with
chairs. There were a couple of friends who I knew, but mostly strangers.
They all had yellow rain pantsuits on. The thing is that it was not raining
or even look like it was going to rain - the sun was shining very bright.
Then I went to the front of the building (barn) and a fighter plane flew
over. Next everyone was jumped into a white truck which headed up a hill
that was now a neighborhood, no longer a field.
Dream comments: I would like to know what this dream means.
Dream title: Surrounded by Alligators
Dream date: Once or twice a month
Dreamer name: Liv
Dream text: I've had several alligator dreams that have me wondering what
they are trying to tell me. Each different, yet similar are about me and
people in my life walking outside. We are trying to get somewhere but there
are tons of alligators everywhere. In one dream, they were in a field we
had to cross; another dream they were in the yard of a house I was planning
on leaving. In one dream my boyfriend decided to have one as a pet and it
slept in our bedroom. In that dream, I was trying to get to the bathroom
without getting too close to the alligator. In all the dreams the
alligators are not aggressive, as long as you keep your distance. If you
get too close they will try to bite. So, of course, each dream I'm trying
to get around them without getting too close.
Dream comments: Again, I believe that dreams have meaning. I do not wake up
frightened in cold sweats or anything like that.
Dream title: Praying angel
Dream date: 1994
Dreamer name: HT
Dream text: I found myself in a sort of black granite maze, with walls at
least 12 feet tall. The place was illuminated by an unseen light source.
There was no roof on the maze and all I saw was darkness when I looked up.
I stood in a corridor, looking down to what seemed maybe 12 foot by 12 foot,
with no exit. The room had a granite altar in the middle. I looked up and
saw a majestic angel in white, with a beautiful light surrounding (her)?
She gently floated down and began to pray at the altar. I felt as though
she was praying for me.
Dream comments: Does anyone have any insight?
