Two Snippets

Two snipets. 

He is just backing out, I say as a policeman standing hehind a car.

I am reaching up to a shelf in a pantry in a blue room. 

Notes: Trying to have something other than No Dreams Remembered.

Ski Jump From Hell

 I am preparing to make a very dangerous jump from the top of a mountain ski run. I am working my way back and forth to pick the best of several really bad choices. They all look near vertical and way beyond my capability. I am with a man who is helping me decide but who is mostly explaining all the social reason I need to do this. Everyone does it he explains, even if it kills you, this is implicit.

Notes: This is the first full dream segment I have remembered recently. It took almost of week of journaling. Not at all sure what it is telling me.

What does the dream want?  The seemingly obvious interpretation is that I should not bend to social pressure, but I am not sure how that relates to my current situation.  It would fit Cindy's situation where her job is literally killing her. 

Reality Check: I don't think I am doing or trying to do anything dangerous based of pressure from others. That is definitely the sate of the world today, but I am not at all sure how that relates to me.

No Dreams Remember/Named

 I had a pretty vivid and active dream, woke briefly, remembered the segment but did not name it. So I forgot it later when I woke again.

What does the dream want?  To be remembered. Put pad by the bed. Write brief name and description when wake only for a moment.

Dream Object

I am going back and forth from dreaming and wakefulness. I am trying to remember and name an object that is very important or symbolic. Each time wake the object faded and I can no make it out.

Notes:  This is a physical version of dream logic. An idea that seems compelling in a dream but as you wake it becomes fantastic, absurd or so illogical it can no be expressed and therefore remembered.

What does the dream want?  For me to remain vigilant in my dreams and waking life.

Reality Check: Some things in our waking lives also do not stand the test of logic and clarity.

Bumper Sticker: Some dreams are just that.

Dreams to Action: Continue building clarity in both dreams and waking.

Clueless Once Again

I am performing a series of tasks outdoors. I am disorganized, disoriented and struggling. 

Notes: 3rd day journaling, no matter what.

What does the dream want? Get focused, get shit done.

Reality Check: Way into distractions and procrastination driven by fear?

Jacob on a Horse

I am a young native American on a horse in a open expanse. As I try to name the dream to remember it I hear the name Jacob.

Notes: 2nd day of renewed dream journaling. Jacob Nighthorse is a character in Longmire, an old show I am re-binging. I am committed to dream journaling back daily to reengage with my dreams. I literally have for gotten my dreams.

What does the dream want?  To make me commit to remembering/journaling.

Reality Check: Character name from a TV show.

Bumper Sticker: Forgotten Dreams Make You Lose Your Way

Dreams to Action: Dream, Journal, Remember, Become

Reboot Dreams Journaling

I have been thinking a lot about dreaming and trying to pay attention to my dreams but not journaling because it's been hard to remember them. Then I remember the way you remember dreams is by journaling them. So here we go...

Woman of my Dreams

I had a dream last night that was complex and involved a specific woman, not one that I recognized. When I woke I couldn't remember the dream just that there was a woman involved. After getting up and running errands I took a brief nap and a very detailed image of a woman came into my mind. While dreaming I realized this might be the same woman and was excited. She wasn't doing anything it was just like a live video feed of someone standing quietly. I want to commit to writing at least something every time I wake up.
