RE: The Dream Thread - Jade - 01-11-2015
I had an interesting dream last night. I was having a work anxiety related dream (very typical - they aren't as emotional as times in the past but I often dream about work. I know I work too much) I don't remember the specifics really but at the end of it there was a big beasty purple bad guy/boss mob who appeared and was exploding into a fit of purple light. I was very fearfully cowering behind one of my coworkers, one who I would not label as the brave/protective type in general. There was a door behind me and as I braced for the impact I opened the door and slipped past it. There was a stairway, and I descended, and immediately the "actor" playing the big purple bad guy stepped out, looking normal and human, and he performed his final soliloquy for his "grand performance". It was a short speech and the lights came up and the audience applauded.
Maybe I went through a door where I don't have to have any more work anxiety dreams!! In reality I only have ~ a dozen or so shifts left at my job, so I should try to keep savoring them.

So for the first time since I was about 16 (basically 8 years) I was able to stay conscious and go directly into a lucid dream while my body went into sleep paralysis.
I sorta go into a haze just because I'm not used to lucid dreaming anymore and proceed with the dream.
Anyways before even 15 minutes into the dream one of the dream characters (human) realizes I'm consciously aware by the way I'm acting, get flustered and decided to wake me up by putting my into a hold and jabbing me in the back.
Bullshit. Total bullshit. On the plus side I probably wouldn't have remembered the dream otherwise. My subconscious is still an ass-hole though.

Lol I didn't even think of that. Has The Media decided that's what we are gonna call them? Last I checked it was just IS or maybe ISIL?
My bad
i watch cnn every day while i eat dinner & every day i'm seeing stuff like "hackers pledging allegiance to ISIS" & "Paris gunman pledging allegiance to ISIS" & "ISIS is more dangerous than people realize" & "another ISIS beheading" & "ISIS praises terror attacks" & etc.
today it was: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/01/12/politics/centcom-twitter-hacked-suspended/
(CNN)The Twitter account for U.S. Central Command was suspended Monday after it was hacked by ISIS sympathizers -- but no classified information was obtained and no military networks were compromised, defense officials said. A series of unusual tweets were published with apparent warnings from ISIS, as well as links, images and Pentagon documents that reveal contact information for members of the military. The first tweet was published at about 12:30 p.m. ET and read: "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING, WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS." The account's profile photo became a black-and-white image of a person wearing a Keffiyeh, or scarf, around their head. "CyberCaliphate" and "i love you isis" were sprawled out in white letters against a black screen at the top of the Twitter page.

Somehow someone discovered a way to see the planet Pluto in the sky in a way that made it appear much bigger than even the moon. It was a huge dark ball of energy that reminded me of one of those plastic balls that you touch and it makes "lightning" near your finger. It gave me a very unsettling vibe. In order to see it you had to travel far into a snowy place.
After that experience, I saw an advertisement to come to Jade's back yard because there you could have the same experience, but instead of Pluto it was Venus. Unfortunately I don't remember seeing it in the sky, but the vibe I felt was of happiness and love
Awesome!!!! Good to know all that (literal!) energy I channel into making my yard a welcoming place has reached, at least as far as Venus!
When I get to my new place in Colorado in ~ a month I'll try to replicate it, then you can really come visit my backyard.

INTRODUCTORY
Many of the subjects with which our theosophical studies bring us into contact are so far removed from the experiences and interests of everyday life, that while we feel drawn towards them by an attraction which increases in geometrical progression as we come to know more of them and understand them better, we are yet conscious, at the back of our minds, as it were, of a faint sense of unreality, or at least unpracticality, while we are dealing with them. When we read of the formation of the solar system, or even of the rings and rounds of our own planetary chain, we cannot but feel that, interesting though this is as an abstract study, useful as it is in showing us how man has become what we find him to be, it nevertheless associates itself only indirectly with the life we are living here and now.

RE: The Dream Thread - Parsons - 01-13-2015
You guys are starting to freak my s**t out with these water-related dreams... I very rarely have dreams involving bodies of water.
Reading your dreams about water caused me to recall a dream I had a week or two ago when I was in a bamboo-style beach house on vacation. I slip in and out of the 'observer' position fluidly, so I had the experience of physically moving around in the cabin with a body; then I dynamically switched to a disembodied view of the ocean... A large tsunami wave came in and crashed over the cabin and other structures. I reflexively flew above the wave so as not 'to get wet'.
Beyond that, the only thing I remember of the dream is I was bummed out all my electronics were destroyed, lol

I dreamed a guy had a giant truck, and he got a free horse with it. But the horse ran away because the leash got undone. I had to chase the horse down. Then later we lost the horse.
Then there was a dream of dolphins that could turn a white goo into diamonds, and these dolphins were sparkly. I was playing a video game collecting the diamonds.
RE: The Dream Thread - Karl - 01-14-2015
I dreamed I was swimming in a pool. The water of the left side was cold (and lighted blue). The water on the right side was hot (and lighted red). Someone said whichever side you decided to be in was supposed to reflect a character trait (Like STS/STO, good/bad, basic duality stuff). So I decided to go in both sides and swim back and forth underwater because I refused to allow anyone to decide I was anything. Eventually this evolved into me staying underwater holding my breath for as long as I could for no reason whatsoever. Which then woke me up because I was holding my breath in real life too.
RE: The Dream Thread - Reaper - 01-20-2015
Had two semi-creepy dreams today.
In one, a friend and I were sitting in my car outside of Carla's house, talking. I think we'd just come from a meditation. We saw Jim standing in the street and started talking to him. He was speaking very softly, and the things he was saying were becoming quite unfriendly. I became unsure if this was Jim we were actually talking to, and shut my car door and locked it. He walked over to my car and opened the door as if I hadn't locked it at all. He leaned right down into my face and his eyes were very dark, his appearance demonic, and he said something really creepy to me, though I can't remember what it was.
In the second dream I was part of a group of orphans who were stealing food, then using some sort of transporter to teleport back to our home, which was deep out in the woods somewhere. After a successful food raid, we realized one of our friends, named Kevin, hadn't made it back with us. We tried to teleport back to get him but the transporter seemed broken. I announced that we would have to drive back and get him, even though the distance was considerable. The girl who was driving us didn't really know how to drive because we just teleported everywhere, and I was trying to tell her how but she wouldn't listen to me.
We finally somehow made it back to the city we'd lost Kevin in, and I wound up alone in what seemed like a huge, old church. I walked down into this large, open area and the presence from my first dream bled into the second, and I feared that the dark thing posing as Jim had got Kevin. I was scared but kept my voice calm, calling out into the darkness, asking if anyone was there. I heard a weird thudding noise coming from below me and found some stairs. I walked down into an enormous basement that had been nicely refurnished. Someone was living down there.
The thudding sound was coming from a washer/dryer that was running. I walked down a hall and into what appeared to be a big living room, and saw two guys sitting on a couch. I vaguely recognized them, realized we'd pulled jobs together before. I awkwardly said hi, and they didn't seem offended that I'd burst into their house. I realized there were a lot of other people hanging out down there as well. Some of them I knew, some I didn't. It seemed to be a group meeting of sorts. I was about to leave when I glanced over at a tapestry on the wall.
There was a symbol on the tapestry, a kanji, I think, and I recognized it as something I'd seen on Kevin before. I asked them what it meant, and they said it meant "Elder One" or "Old One". A bunch of things clicked together in my head, about an illuminati-like organization, and I wondered if Kevin had somehow gotten involved in such a thing. I realized everyone in the room was standing around me now, staring at me. I said "Surely you're not *all* involved in it...s***, you're all involved in it, aren't you?" One of them said I was smarter than Kevin and may have made a better choice. I then excused myself, having no idea how to react to such a revelation.

Thx for sharing, I found that hilarious.
Jim has made it into one of my dreams. In it he wanted me to write an essay.
RE: The Dream Thread - Reaper - 01-21-2015
It's not the first "Evil Jim" dream I've had. It is pretty funny, in retrospect.
RE: The Dream Thread - Reaper - 01-21-2015
I've been having unusually vivid dreams lately. I don't really remember the connecting theme of my last one. Something about me trying to get some papers signed and mailed off. At one point I was in a huge, very nice shopping center and I began to sing, and realized I could sing with two voices at once. Then a random woman came over and started singing with me.
Later I was driving through Canada, though it looked more like the countryside of Indiana. I was astounded by how beautiful and pristine everything was. I got lost and went into the city and got held up by some sort of weird fetish photo shoot some people were having, blocking traffic while taking pictures.
After that I somehow wound up in an extremely fancy Japanese restaurant. Everyone in there was wearing very nice suits and dresses- the type of wardrobe I couldn't afford with three paychecks. I met a woman I knew in there who was supposed to be working with me on something, but she was hanging all over some guy and was very rude to me, demanding that I be thrown out. A man who was obviously her boss came over and sternly said of course I would join them for dinner, how could she be so rude? I was sat down at a table and felt very embarrassed because I knew nothing of the elaborate rituals of etiquette going on, and I was dressed in street clothes. The menu was huge and exotic and I was told my bill was being covered by the boss. Half of the menu wasn't even in English and I wasn't sure what to order at all.
This later morphed into me actually being in Japan, and there were posters honoring individuals who had volunteered to move to other areas while the city was under construction or something. I was getting worried, because I had work in a few hours and didn't even know how to get home.
RE: The Dream Thread - Reaper - 01-23-2015
I had a Battle Royale-ish dream last night in which all the people in my work place were instructed to start killing each other as part of some game. I had no intention of killing anyone and was simply seeking out a good place to hide until it was all over, then I noticed that though a few people had actually listened and were running around trying to kill their coworkers, most of the people around me were just coming together and watching TV and hanging out, supporting each other. I was helping some people move some stuff around and had no fear of any of them, even though one of them threatened to attack me. It made me happy to see so many people simply ignoring bad orders from a corrupt authority.
RE: The Dream Thread - AnthroHeart - 01-23-2015
Yesterday we had to go to the local grocery store in my dream. There were tons of fireworks there. I carried my friend there and flew. Then I saw a plaid dog that was beautiful. My friend was heavy and it was hard to fly with him.
Then at the event people were doing magical stuff. I shot lasers from my hands and did a laser show. Then I turned my skin yellow. I impressed the crowd. They never did fire the fireworks there.
Then there were bottles of hard liquor called Guiness that was milk colored. I was looking for food.
RE: The Dream Thread - isis - 01-23-2015
In a part of my dream last night I heard someone say that time is infinite. Then I said something like, 'people are constantly proclaiming, with certainty, that time is infinite. There's no way anyone can know that for sure.'
RE: The Dream Thread - AnthroHeart - 01-23-2015
Time is infinite = mind blown
I thought it started when the Universe began. But it does go on forever.
RE: The Dream Thread - isis - 01-26-2015
went lucid this morning. lots of people were around me so i decided to tell one of them i knew i was dreaming & see how that went. got a crazy look from the guy i told & could tell he didn't believe me. i asked him if he wanted me to lift him off of the ground, with my mind, to prove it & he said yeah like he knew for sure it wouldn't happen but then it did. it took an enormous amount of energy and concentration. he seemed so scared he was unable to talk. a bit later he appeared again & started pestering me & i said, "please leave me alone. u will cause me to wake up. do u want me to leave?" then he just smiled then i said, "want me to lift u again?" then he said no
RE: The Dream Thread - AnthroHeart - 01-26-2015
There was a neat teleporter system. I wanted to use it but a crowd went in before me. Then I was able to use this. When I teleported, it stung my belly a bit. I kept wanting to use it to teleport to new places.
It looked like a camera and was a white room. I had to stand in a spot to get it to work.
Then later someone told me they were going to show an animation in a room, and I was trying to find that room. I even went to the main office to ask for help in finding it. I think I was wanting to use another teleporter. We were on a tram that went through a teleporter as well.
RE: The Dream Thread - Nuria Luz - 01-26-2015
I had 2 dreams recentlly where I got killed but I didn't die.
In the last one, after a guy blew half my head away, I was in the floor thinking: "Ok, what now? I'll stop moving so this guy goes away and after I'll see how I put myself together (literally). Normally, if I was chased or killed in a dream I used to wake up. Not anymore.
Dying feels weird and normal at the same time... I hope it's that easy when I face it at the end of this incarnation!

RE: The Dream Thread - Parsons - 01-26-2015
I'm not entirely sure what's changed... But all my dreams (at least the ones I remember), I have the power to fly, use telekinesis and simply change my environment with my will. I don't even really classify it as 'lucid' dreaming anymore at this point because it literally happens every time and because I'm not always aware I am dreaming... It's like I am semi-conscious it is a dream.
I enjoy having these powers because it prevents me from being harmed in the dream in most cases... But then again, there is little potential for gaining polarity / learning lessons through the catalyst of dreaming.
RE: The Dream Thread - Reaper - 01-27-2015
All I remember about last night's dream was that I was in the mall eating doughnuts, talking about how I miss Italian food.

They were some males and females with whom I didn't recognize and I'm wondering if they were my guides.
So here is dream from 2013 and here is an excerpt from destiny of souls which is quite awesome to me.
