Worst Guitar Jam Ever

I am in a venue like a wedding. There is an seasoned chill electric guitar player doing an instrumental. I pick up a guitar and start "playing along". I do not know how to match his melody, instead I strum and pick with loud distorted noise. I play the guitar so hard that after the song the strings are stretched out and dandling from the instrument.

He is  very kind and gracious and makes some suggestions for my improvement. I look at my guitar the strings are all stretched out and bulging out.

[Later segment] I am talking about doing it again, I am leaving the house on the way to another session, but realize that I am in my stocking feet and have to go back in.

Notes: No clue...take to dream group?

What does the dream want? For me to really learn to play the guitar...at 70? Or is it about pretending in general?

Reality check: Can't play work shit, but would not like do anything like this loud mess.

Bumper sticker: Can't play, stay home.

Dreams to action: Step up and join the group....work on it...daily.

Naked Goddess

I am with a group of people, mostly family. It's possibly set in an old Italian village. There is a woman who I recognize as someone I knew in college, Karen. We are preparing for some sort of event and she is changing her clothes. She is naked in front of me while she's changing but it's like I'm invisible. Her body is glowing from the inside like illuminated marble. I am old and she is still young. I'm slightly confused but she is so beautiful I'm more amazed than anything.

Later we are outside she is dressed and leaving for the event. She basically has not even recognized me.

Notes: This is a snippet of a much longer dream.

What does the dream want:? Not sure at this point.

Reality check: Between work and my dog walker I have many young women around me. It is quite the contrast.

Bumper sticker: Old farts are invisible.

Dreams to action: Get healthy.

Screw Up at School

I am walking through an outdoor event at a new school. There are small tables set up everywhere and a student running a group or offering product is at each table. I am waiting to talk to one of the kids who has some kind of technology that might that I'm interested in. I'm waiting for him to finish his conversation. As I do so I put two things down on his table. Something like a brochure and my cell phone.

I continue to wait very close by and then I see he's taking a break and puts a tarp over his table. I'm a little concerned and I'm walking around it picking it up to peek under. I walk around behind it and as I come around out front it takes me a minute to realize the table is no longer there he has left the event. I panic and realize I don't even know his name or anything about him. I start the problem-solve and think about asking some of the other vendors but everybody's in the process of breaking down. I wake up panicked.

Nores:  not an uncommon feeling for me after doing something thoughtless.

What does the dream want? Initially I had no idea but now I'm thinking I need to finish the sexual abuse training video for work. I have been procrastinating it's my only outstanding requirement other than getting a state driver's license.

Reality check: This is not an unlikely scenario for me but it doesn't click with anything that I remember or anticipate.

Bumper sticker: keep your phone handy.

Dreams to action: finish the course get your license !!!

3rd Assistant for Connected Hollywood Big Shot

I am riding in the back of a large limo with the world's worst driver. He is old sitting low in the seat in uniform. I am a low level assistant to  an aging rumored to be connected Hollywood actor. He may be Danny Devoto (at least 2nd occurance). We are smashing things and people on the road and the sidewalk several times on each block. I have a bird's eye view of our giant car pinning a tinny cart (I assume there is a person in it) against a wall and squwish it.q We then make a hard left turn from the right land causing what might be a fatal accident. The momentum of the car never stops. There is no mention of the destruction outside as we proceed to our destination.

We are preparing for a large production or event. My role is schlept things and run errands. Chaos also reigns in the facility/hotel. Everyone shows great deference to the actor and fear him. He is very demanding buy with a comic undertone. I screw up every errand and task I am assigned, but my job continues, like the limo. 

There are devices, costumes and other remnenents of old productions everywhere in the halls and rooms. I am looking for a device to help complete mopping the floors. I find and old device that is basically and open besuup metal box on a stick. It leaks the washing fluid that is used to clean the floor. It see it in great detail. When I wresdled it out to where it is needed, the floor cleaning has just finished..

At one point the actor tools in a skid filled with musical accessories. The are mostly flat metal object that are dented and obviously used. He explains we were told we got a bargain on them. They were an additional expense to the primary things we needed and it was not clear whether they would normally be included. 

I am getting the sense that my boss is not as dangerous as everyone thinks. I facility a phone call between two people that are close to the actor but he has not spoken to in years. I stay on the phone to eaves drop, they may hear my guffaw at one of their comments. There is a third party also long out of touch. It turns out they are speaking down the hall at an event. I take the phone into the event the sound is being broadcast. The phone becomes deadly silent. After a few moments the they hang up. I wake feeling sad and lonely.

Notes: Two scenes had hyper detail, like when going lucid. I woke without naming it and thought I had forgotten it. I may have been all of the three main characters. The chafeur, the actor and the observer/grunt.

What does the dream want? Fir me to clean up the chaos in my life.

Reality check: Way too many...

1. Destructive driver(James? Me?)

2. Chaos in facility...my house.

3. Over charged for old shit...yes

4. Missed old connections?

Bumper sticker: Petal to the metal reals havoc.

Dreams to action: Resolve financial and physical issues. Get relationships back in integrity. 

Brother and Sister Become Fashion Models

I am walking with my mother and sister. We're proceeding down a lovely road or path. It's a sunny day with the lights being filtered through the trees that shade the road. We are on a journey with a destination and a preceding at a moderate a definite pace.

We meet up with older family members. They may be my grandparents. When I see them they are Asian and it confuses me. I am not confused in the dream and just aware that their Asian and it's slightly lucid confusion. Although we are proceeding forward we meet up with them coming from the rear. Looking back they are joining us from a path on the left as we look backward.

We continue walking and one of the relatives is walking very rapidly walks past me and there is a flash of recognition. Is my aunt Edith. She looks very sharply and definitively into my eyes. She doesn't need to say anything to establish who she is. That flash is a very stark contrast to all the other characters in the dream and it's vividness and immediacy.

We continue walking but now my sister has a stop along the way goal that she hasn't told us too much about but she's very determined to go there. It turns to be out to be an outdoor arena. It's like Roman ruins it is old but in good shape. There's going to be a fashion show there that she's participating in. Suddenly I get the idea to participate as a male model. It's not just a fluke I have either practice or I've hidden talents in this area. I meet another male participant and he is obviously very accomplished. I am not intimidated at all and intend to really participate at the highest level.

Notes: I'm not sure if this dream is about me or my students at mountain Lake Academy. The dream is very vivid and colorful. I won't feeling very happy and supported. The flash of recognition with the spirit of my aunt Edith made me think about contacting the spirits that support me.

What does the dream want?  For me to work with my students in a dream group. For me to work on contacting spirits that are trying to help me. To go forward toward a goal but be willing to accept stops along the route.

Reality check: This journey supported by live family and possibly spiritual family parallels the work that my students are doing at mountain Lake Academy. The invitation for me to work with them in dream group is also obvious. As always, my own work is probably the most primal thing.

Bumper sticker: Dreams ≡  Life. 

Dreams to action: Make a dream journal with brief instructions at the beginning. Buy a copy of the lucid dreaming manual for the library. Make additional blank journals. Have them printed and available on Amazon. Sell them just above cost discount in bulk if possible. Ask for feedback from those buying the journals assuming they are teachers or others working with students in high school. Do some research this may already exist. Talk with Steve Burrell to see if he has any suggestions.

Rhapsody in Blue

 I am in an office environment. I have a task to complete, possibly some training. I am going to a work location but I am taking a motorcycle. There is a woman coworker driving, I am behind her. We move from a paved to a non-paved or smaller road and I ask her if she wants me to drive. She says yes and we pull over to switch. I am getting used to the controls because it has been a while since I have done this. I am having trouble with the throttle, which part of is located on the right side of the front wheel. (I didn't question it at the time). I am testing it and something seems loose/wrong. Right next to us an experienced rider/mechanic is giving me advice and gets me going with no repairs.

I am in a room, like a bedroom, with the young woman and we are listening to music on a computer that is on a bed. It is Rhapsody in Blue and I am turning up the volume so we can get fulling immersed in the music. It is mostly nostalgia for me because we don't have time to listen to the whole piece.  I am pointing out a favorite section that is coming up and fumbling trying to find the volume control that is a separate control on the right side of the keyboard on the laptop. It has been obscured by the sheets on the bed. I get it figured out.

We have another event to attend and we are discussing the timing. Her father pokes into the room. He is satisfied that all is well and we coordinate going to the next event that is at another location. There is some discussion about stopping by to get burgers for someone in the party, possible a child.

Notes: I awoke very happy that remembered the dream so well and that the audio was so clear and literally dialed in. The con tent was disturbing and also almost literal.

What does the dream want? For me to have a proper relationship with the dog sitter and not blow up my life and hers out of sexual desire. More importantly, she is a victim of sexual abuse (a learning module I am late going through on the computer and have lost the link)

Reality check: This is perhaps the easiest dream to interpret I have ever had. It is so close to "reality". I am ashamed by my behavior. I made a sexual innuendo about a work comment she made about helping seniors in the shower and later fantasized about having sex. wow.

Bumper sticker: Keep your hands on the wheel (The wheel was brought to my attention in the dream)

Dream to action: Be mindful of others trauma based experience. Sort out my sex/intimacy life. Get laid properly?
