4th Time Visiting Thursday Aug 21st ish
I am with two other friends and we walk in the door of what I am calling a fun house. This is the fourth time I visited here in a dream and I realized that as I come in and I'm excited [on some level I know I'm dreaming]. I have long had the idea that the person at the very beginning may be an active dream agent that I can communicate with. There is indeed an older woman sitting in a little booth like an old fashioned fortune teller would be. But for some reason I'm unable to stop and talk with her. The first time I visited it was very exotic, dark and mysterious. The three times since then it's been more brightly lit and everyday and not as much feeling of the mysterious and exotic. But it's still fun and the fact that I keep coming back it is very exciting. The entrance is filled with exotic plants and animals. There's a small booth and we that that attendant asks us if we want to have jetpacks on our feet. I say it's an excellent way to get very close to the exhibit. But then I look around and realize that the exhibits are not high in the air and there wouldn't be a significant advantage to having the jet packs. So I declined them for now and recommend that the others don't take them either. We're walking very slowly through the exhibit and notice that there's plants and exotic birds and cages and I'm able to examine them very carefully. We then get to the area where there's this giant fun ride slide and we are being sort of swept along with the crowd and I guide the other two to step slightly off the mainstream and so we're able to decide what we're going to do, rather just being swept to the ride or to the exit. I'm without a man and a woman man is very inexperienced. I'm woken by my alarm and I quiet it and lay still to recall the dream and to some extent I'm able to re-enter the dream. Not precisely where I was but it has the same feeling and I'm again excited at the prospect of not only having a repetitive dream but the ability to potentially go in and out of it.
This is a fascinating and rich dream, especially because it’s repeating, evolving, and you had some lucidity in it. Let’s break it down in layers:
1. The Setting – Madam Tula’s Fun House
-
A fun house is both playful and disorienting — part carnival, part initiation chamber. The fact that you’ve visited four times suggests it’s a stable dreamscape forming in your subconscious (or beyond).
-
The shift from exotic, dark, mysterious (first visit) to bright, everyday, less mysterious (subsequent visits) could reflect your growing familiarity with the territory. What once felt like entering the unknown is now more accessible — you are mapping it out.
2. The Gatekeeper – The Woman in the Booth
-
The older woman resembles a fortune-teller or guardian. You feel she may be a “dream agent” you can communicate with, but something prevents you from stopping. This is important: your subconscious seems to place a threshold guardian at the entrance.
-
She could represent your intuition, higher guide, or inner wisdom — waiting for you to pause, acknowledge, and ask questions. Your inability to stop yet might be showing that you’re close but not quite ready to fully engage that conversation.
3. The Jetpacks – Choice of Tools
-
Being offered jetpacks suggests being given enhancement or shortcuts in perception/mobility. You decline them, realizing they aren’t necessary for the current environment.
-
This indicates discernment: you’re choosing careful observation over speed or flashy tools. It may symbolize your waking attitude toward lucid dreaming — you’re building skills slowly and deliberately rather than rushing.
4. The Exhibits – Plants, Birds, and Careful Observation
-
Exotic plants and birds symbolize diversity of thought, hidden beauty, and spiritual messengers. Birds often represent the ability to transcend or carry messages.
-
The fact that you are walking slowly, observing carefully suggests you’re cultivating presence. This is actually a lucid dream training principle — stabilizing and deepening instead of rushing.
5. The Crowd and the Ride
-
A giant slide and the “sweeping crowd” could symbolize the momentum of unconscious dream flow — the pull toward distraction, sensation, or waking life currents.
-
You guide your companions out of the mainstream, showing leadership and the ability to step aside from being carried away. This is a subtle but powerful lucidity marker — you’re exercising choice, not just going along.
6. The Companions
-
You mention being with a man and a woman, and the man is inexperienced. They may represent parts of yourself:
-
The woman: your intuitive or emotional aspect.
-
The man: your untrained or beginner self — the part just starting to explore lucid dream mastery.
-
-
By guiding them, you are mentoring aspects of yourself as well.
7. Re-Entry into the Dream
-
Waking and then re-entering is an advanced skill (sometimes called dream re-entry or wake-back-to-bed lucidity). The fact that you could return to the same “feeling” shows that this dreamscape is accessible to you — almost like a recurring training ground.
-
Your excitement and recognition of repetition is key: your subconscious is acknowledging progress.
8. Overall Themes
-
Threshold & Readiness: The fortune-teller figure is waiting; you’re close to direct dialogue with a guide.
-
Discernment & Patience: Declining the jetpack, moving slowly, stepping aside from the crowd — all point to careful development of skill and autonomy.
-
Integration: Companions reflect your inner aspects. By leading them, you’re integrating and strengthening yourself.
-
Evolution: Each visit shifts the tone. You’re moving from mystery → familiarity → mastery.
Practical Suggestions
-
Next Time You Enter: Try to pause at the fortune-teller’s booth. Even if your dream resists, set the intention before sleep: “When I see the woman in the booth, I will stop and ask her name.”
-
Stabilize the Scene: When you notice plants or birds, touch them, smell them, listen carefully. This will ground you deeper into lucidity.
-
Ask the Companions: Directly ask the man and woman who they are. They may reveal surprising truths about yourself.
-
Work with Repetition: Since this dream repeats, treat it as a personal initiation chamber. Journal each visit carefully — see how the details evolve.
✨ In short, Madam Tula’s Fun House seems to be your personal lucid dreaming dojo — a recurring training ground where you’re learning discernment, patience, and readiness to meet a guide. The fact that it feels exciting every time shows you’re close to a breakthrough.
Would you like me to help you design a “dream ritual” (like a short script or visualization) you can use before sleep, specifically to strengthen your chance of pausing at the booth and engaging the fortune-teller next time?
Perfect. Let’s design a dream ritual that works on two levels: (1) planting the seed in your subconscious before sleep, and (2) giving you a simple, memorable lucid script to carry into the dream.
🌙 Dream Ritual for Madam Tula’s Fun House
Step 1 – Evening Intention
Before bed, sit quietly for a few minutes. Breathe slowly and imagine the entrance to Madam Tula’s Fun House. Picture the exotic plants, the atmosphere, and most importantly, the little booth with the older woman sitting there.
Say to yourself (aloud or silently):
“Tonight, when I enter Madam Tula’s Fun House, I will pause at the booth.
I will greet the woman.
I will ask her name.
I am ready to receive what she wishes to share.”
(Repeat this 3–5 times, slowly, like an incantation.)
Step 2 – Anchor Object
Before sleeping, place a small object near your bed — something that feels symbolic of guidance (a stone, coin, feather, crystal, or even just a small personal token). As you set it down, tell yourself:
“This is my reminder. When I see the woman, I will stop.”
This links waking ritual to dreaming action.
Step 3 – Lucid Script in the Dream
If you find yourself in the Fun House:
-
Pause at the Entrance: As soon as you see the booth, breathe and remember your intention.
-
Gesture of Greeting: Imagine yourself bowing slightly or placing your hand on your heart — any small gesture of respect.
-
The Question: Ask her directly:
-
“What is your name?”
-
Or, if you feel bold: “What message do you have for me?”
-
Keep it short and clear. Dream characters often respond best to direct, simple questions.
Step 4 – Re-Entry Plan
If you wake up before speaking with her:
-
Stay still in bed.
-
Recall the Fun House as vividly as you can.
-
Picture yourself standing before the booth.
-
Imagine her lifting her head, ready to speak.
-
Let yourself drift back while holding the image.
Step 5 – After the Dream
As soon as you wake:
-
Write down everything she said (or didn’t say).
-
Even a gesture, glance, or silence can carry meaning.
-
Record the atmosphere too — lighting, colors, feelings — since these often shift with your readiness.
✨ The key here is repetition. By reinforcing the pause-and-ask script, you’re creating a reflex that your dreaming mind will eventually obey. This will increase your chances of finally engaging her as a guide or dream agent.
