Emotion Factory

I am in a large meeting room with a group of people who have all just been hired to start a new business venture. I am trying to learn what I am doing and struggling a bit. We are precisely defining what we are going to be producing. As well as how we're going to do it? We are creating a very rocess where people's emotions are precisely shaped.

I am now sitting right next to the company. leader, a man.. There is one woman that I am having a particularly difficult time communicating with. we seemed to be enemies. There is a piece of paper that I am handing to the President and she takes it out of my hand. I take it back from her and hand it back to the president. He confirms that this is the cottrct and overides her.

We are nowa lser focusingn on what we're going to be producing. Each element of the process have a precise outline, like a cookie cutter. Each line or a shape represents a nuance in a person's emotion.

The woman who I'm having difficulty with. has an idea. I compliment her and further state that this is a seminal or core idea that is important and isprecise. She begins to warm up to me.

The meeting is winding down and somehow I'm changing my clothes. I am in my underwear fishing my cloters out of a paper bag.  I am hurrying to get dressed because there's a new group of people coming in. They are investors or influencer VIPs. I finished quickly, just in time . As I walk out the door there is a long double line of people preparing to recieve the new visitors. I get to enjoy walking down this procession as if I'm someone being celebrated.

Notes: I came in and out of this dream several times over a long period of time. To me that meant it was very important.

What does the dream want? Or me to embrace all the changes that I'm making in my life prticularly the emotional ones,.

Reality check: Managing my emotions is critical to my success in. Marriage and in my life in general.

Bumper sticker: Feel what you want, not want what you feel.

Dream to action: When flooded with negative emotions, experience them as emotional flak from below (like a B-52 in WWII). Keep on target.

Reluctant Porn Star (Needs editing)

Can't Get to first base with a port star

I am flirting and trying to get physical with a scantily clothed young girl. Most of my attempts are rebuffed yet still encouraged. 

Now we are preparing to go to sleep. Single bend at right angles heard on the room corner. I think now this is happening, but it doesn't happen. The is another girl sitting up close by SD an observer and I am confused.

We are now standing on a circle with several people. A totally sleazy older guy comes in a grand her ties like they are his. He proceeds to take her top off. Her over sized boys are encased is hard clear plastic covers. He pulls one off and proceeds to roughly massage her exposed breast. The end of her breast has a large indentation in place of a nipple and appears to be caused by the shape of the plastic cover.



Stone Throwing at black kid

I am walking down a dirt road with a group of strangers. I see a young black kid join the walk from the right. The guy closest to him picks up a rock. The kid does as well. Rock's ate being thrown on both directions and two warring groups are formed with race being irrelevant.

Where are the Diamonds? ++

Where are the Diamonds
I am at a large business function. Asked to choose gift by negotiating with roommate. I get a large string of diamonds. I am carrying them in a flimsy pizza box in a very crowded room. I get jostled and pushed around and I realize the diamonds are gone. I am totally stressed. At some point I realize it was a setup from the start. The diamonds are synthetic and the corporate leaders devised the whole encounter to stress me and other new employees, I start to plot to turn the tables and stress them instead with a similarly devious plot.

A series of scenes in the same space:

Wilderness Right Next to Civilization
I am exploring large very rounded and smooth boulders on the edge of a pond. There are large fish in the pond I am trying to catch.

Down the Drain
I am taking a shower right next to the pond I was just fishing in. The shower stall is a concrete room with the floor open to the edge of the pond. Dirty soapy shower water drains out through the open floor into the very fresh water with fish.

Looking for Fish
Teens and kids are poking with sticks in the driveway puddles looking for fish. I see them as very ignorant and literally dirt poor.

Driving Recklessly Down the Dirt Drive
I am driving very slowly down a very narrow very bumpy dirt drive. I drive onto a yard and come within a couple of a mom doing something like unloading groceries.

Dog's Blood
In an attempt to apologize to the mom I give her flowers. There is red powder where you hold the bunch that comes off in your hand. The mom thinks it may be dangerous. I tell her it is a powered herb called dog's blood and is actually beneficial.

The Family
I have been playing with the young kids out side. We ar now in the house. The dad comes in and sits at the table. He is skeptical and seems to be angry underneath it all. The teen/young adult son comes in. There are large shinny well kept musical instruments and equipment stacked up. Including some electrical machines I don't know exactly what they are. There is a large tom-tom that one of the kids almost knocks over, but catches it and retunes it safely back on the shelf it is stacked on. The son says he's pissed, referring to losing his own living space and having to move all his stuff back home.

Note: Woke very happy I can remember a string of related dream scenes. The imagery is very bright and detailed.

Flooded Basement (For Group)

I am with a group of people walking through a home we are inspecting. The owner is not home, but I notice several details telling me someone is living there. We are looking for something and when we look in the basement it is obvious. There is about a foot of water covering the floor. It almost looks intentional because it is perfectly clear, aside from the water, everting is in perfect order. The electric wall sockets get my attention because they are right next to the floor. They only have space for one plug and are completely under water. I wake slightly perplexed.


Notes: When I wake I have no clue what this dream may be trying to tell me.

Dynamic Duo

I am explaining to my super hero collogue that I have a very specific way to invoke my power. So does he, but they are very different. Perhaps if we learn each other's approach it will provide a backup for each of us.


Notes: Spent a lot of time fleshing this idea out. Thought these guys would a good superhero avatars for me and Cindy. See Burton 5.0 for details.

Preparing for Battle & Waiting in Line at Bank

 Preparing for Battle

I'm with a group of people preparing for a battle. I'm going over my weapons and they are crew wooden boat pals that I have stocked and organized . And then him called to the parley with the commander from the other side .  As we are talking I hold his gun and he is distracted due to prisoner exchange and I end up with the gun. I returned with the gun and now I feel much better prepared for the battle. I see the gun in great detail, especially a complex spring mechanism on the end of the butt.


Waiting in Line at Bank

I am with Paul and we are in the lobby of a bank waiting to be served. We start talking to an attractive young woman there are a series of very mundane encounters with other people in the bank as we are waiting. Even while dreaming I wonder what the stream is about. Pre-lucid?

Forces of Nature +

 Forces of Nature

I am walking in the forest with a friend. We discover a massive swirling river of water.  It is a sizable piece of a rushing river folding in on itself. It has no upstream or downstream, only the swirling vortex. As we look closer it is flowing into a  sinkhole in the middle. There is no apparent beginning but the volume and speed of moving water is really large. If feels incredibly powerful.

We are then in a field closer to home. We are shooting guns. I have a single shot shotgun and my friend has buckshot. His shots may have gotten close to the house, mine hit a tree in the center.


JFK Field trip

I am in the back of a station wagon preparring for a trip. Possibly to honor JFK. There are all sorts of food, gear and people that are interacting. There is a woman in the driver's seat who is definitely in control of the event.

I am now in her house and members of her very large family are slowly streaming in, also for a large event in a remote location. I am doing various tasks trying to eat breakfast and get ready. There are multiple rooms with things in strange locations.  I am trying to find the toaster. Among the many people arriving are three black female servants bustling in and out getting things ready. They are dressed is bright yellow summer dress with a print. They are all the same fabric. As new members arrive I am asked friendly questions but only have one word answers. They are beginning to feel am am not friendly, but mostly I am just overwhelmed.

Several of the members of the family are talking about their high powered jobs, like in broadcasting. There are several special needs kids. Ones of them, very friendly, is right in my face, I see the details of her face in minute detail. It startles me and I wake up.


Notes: The dreams were very detailed visually and I remember several dream segments with getting up in-between. I also slept in late even with a good night's sleep.
