Gang Wars

I am in a large open space with high ceilings like a garage or warehouse. There is a fight between to rival gangs going on. The gang I am with is outnumbered and disorganized. There is one gang member with me, but he is handicap and can not stand up. He is on the floor scooting around. A third member comes in. We have just won the battle. There are 20-30 rival gang members that we have captured. We somehow got the drop on them and are completely unable to control them. There are men women and children. When they realize our predicament they run away in all directions. We are unable to contain them.

I talk with the handicap member and ask if he know where our leaders are, has he spoken to them? I am not sure how to contact them or even exactly who they are.

Swimming Under Water

I am in a room with two other men. they may be part of the gang I was just dreaming about. We are discussing a third guy. He is tall skinny and naked. He is swimming from the room we are in into a larger room filled with water. It is a deep basement but there is plenty of light coming from windows in the high walls. He has a very long erect penis that is clearly visible as part of his silhouette. He is doing something unanticipated that I am discussing with the two other men.

Using the Faucet

I am in another part of the building. I am talking with a woman who runs the place. I am trying to use the sink but can not figure out how the faucet works. They have been "fixed" or modified several times and I can no longer figure our exactly where or how to turn them on. She assures me they are now functional but I tell her (or think to myself) I can't figure out what the person who "fixed" it was thinking.

Notes: This series of dreams was very vivid. I remembers a lot of the detail even though I moved after waking. 

What does the dream want? The chaos and disorganization in the dream mirrors the some conditions in my waking life. I need to get moored and disciplined.

The Tower

The Tower

I am standing in an enclosed platform a top a large metal tower. It is an observation tower. I am will someone, we are in the military. I am trying to focus on a very distant target. My view gets closer and closer, but it take a long time to distinguish that there are two targets. It is a man an a woman. I feel it is note worthy and inform someone. I am not trying to shoot them but the need to deal with them independently is important.

I have a request from an officer at the bottom to see if there are any good songs to be found. I start climbing down the tower looking very carefully at each support. I see something in a small plastic bag. It is not a song, it seems to me it is something better.There are two small item. One is possibly two names and the other is a description of their lives or the relationship. It is brief and bold like a poem. I think this could be used as the basis for a song.

Naked on the Train

I am riding on a train next to Cindy. I am casually not wearing any clothes. She moves a seat or two away from me.

Notes: Two dreams and a segment. Not bad. In the tower I am searching for something that U think is one thing, but it is two. The two segments of the dream both seem to be about the desire for relationship. Not surprising.

Manipulating Memory Modules

Memory Modules

[Woke at 8:30am, went immediately back to sleep] I am trying to go back into the dream state. I am seeing icons [play] on a blank abstract field. When I select the icon my mind goes blank. I am trying to understand how they work. I come to the realization that I have figured out a way to store blank memories, like an empty audio recording that plays but has no sound. I am confused but immediately find the utility in this capacity. It is like plug and play meditation. Push the button, think nothing...my mind goes pleasantly blank and then a burst of vivid images in wild colors burst into my field of vision. It may be an animation. I do not get caught up in the details but am impressed how playing the blank memory resulted in almost direct entry into the dream state.  I woke, it had been almost two hours.

Note: Very interesting idea. This is one of a series of dreams that are completely abstract. They do not take place in a location, possibly even free of time/space. I believe they are sometimes 3D, but sometimes it is only the idea that is present in the dream.

I should try manipulating dreams/memories with other control icons.

Not Prepared for the Exam

Not Prepared for the Exam

I am talking with another person, it may be my teacher. We are discussing an upcoming exam  I am going to be taking. I do not feel prepared for it. My teacher hands me a pack of paper. It is review material. He says that if I concentrate on one formula it  is used several times as examples. As long as I understand the formula I should do fairly well on the test.

I am now taking the exam, and I still haven't studied.

Notes: This may be the most obvious dream I've ever had. Trying to study for the adjuster's exam. I have not been studying recently. Wow.

Burying Money in a Pit

Burying Money in the pit

I'm in the cave or an underground large room. There's a party atmosphere. There's food laughter and activity lots of men women and kids. There's an important job to do and I'm right in the middle of it. We are burying money in a large pit. There's a long rope that is involved and it is a challenge to get it correct. I am working with other people to keep the rope from getting caught in the hole. It is taking some time to figure it out. I finally get it figured out and then complete the task.

It feels good to be doing things correctly. I'm going to a table with an elder and he starts showing me a couple of bills that are different than the others. Instead of traditional money it's like Confederate money but it's based on fire engines. Some sort of alternative older money. It's like finding a $2 bill in a stack of money and saving it. I save it out instead of burying it because it's special. There was someone else who also has one of the special bills he recognizes after overhearing the discussion. But he's not invited into the discussion with the elder. So that even though he has one he's really not part of the celebration of the process.

There are young people over in another part of the cave looking on. One of them is trying to go to the bathroom and asks if for help from one of the women. Is not certain he's doing it correctly and it's embarrassing . Where you go to the bathroom is right in the middle of the room. But you can lower yourself into something that is like another pit so the only thing that's visible is your shoulders. He asked if this is the only way to do it. A young girl tells him he can go outside at night in the dark but you might step in something unpleasant.

Notes: I am very happy when I wake. First I remembered a complex dream. Also, it's a gift to wake up in the middle of the night. I plan on going back to sleep trying to induce lucid dream I will again attempt wild method directly back to sleep. More property directly back to Dreaming. I've been successful and going back and forth into the dream state and I'm waking up in the morning. I have difficulty remembering the dreams let alone being lucid.

I went to the tattoo shop today started the planning process for my tattoo and I will get after 30 consecutive days of meditation. This is again I've started over this is day 2 30 days.

Firehouse Parade

Firehouse Parade

I am sitting outside with friends at a cafe. We are having deep ongoing conversations. We get up to leave and something draws me back. I enter the building that we were sitting in front of. I am slowly making my way back in a long narrow room/storage area/hall. I see some fascinating  paraphernalia. It is metal and painted in elaborate detail, fire engine red. there are fanciful custom made parts. I think this is amazing and I would like to keep it for myself. As  I continue exploring there is a whole series of similar devices that all obviously come from the same creative source. There are stored one after the other. I realize they are variations on fire fighting equipment. Old fashion, hyper detailed but scaled down. Not big enough for actual use. I meet with someone and he explains they are for parades.

I think to myself, who would have the resources to spend so much time and effort on something only used in parades? I think maybe there was a time when the firemen were so popular that this special collection was used to celebrate multiple firehouses.

[I go in and out of the dream for some time] I am wondering how successful these parades are, possibly at fund raising. I see an answer that is very positive. I am looking at two or three very discreet rectangular shaped areas. They are similar to the view looking out the bombing hatch of a moving plane. The windows of activity are very dynamic. vividly colored and moving to the wind and may be moving through space. They are complexly disconnected almost abstract. Something is happening, it may be sand raining on/through them. Somehow I know that this is a demonstration of their success.  I wake very happy.

Notes: I am happy both because the dream was positive and because it was so vivid and I had multiple opportunities to realize I was in a dream. I am starting the 10 day course over. I will read the lesson each morning, not in the evening, because there are suggestion on what to do during the day.
