Dream Journal

[Litha]

Alrighty, more from the dream ournal. Here's the next one:

I am walking from my suburban neighborhood and into town, this is not any town I have ever seen but apparently I am familiar with it. There are rows of houses with yards behind them interspersed with small shops and places to eat there are buses that stop at the corners and people are busy milling in the sidewalk.
It is lunchtime. I notice a house with a large garden at the side yard. There is a sign for an apartment for rent. The house I quite large and one of the older ones that was built to house many families. I continue to walk by and then turn back and see a sunny patch in the left most part of the large yard and think how nice it would be to live in the house and lie in the sun there.
A pretty, young black woman has come out of the house and two small boys are with her. I ask her about the apartment and she shoes her boys off to play. She takes me through the hall and first apartment which is hers. The day is a beautiful, sunny one, but I ask her if it has been difficult with the past wintery wet weather having people come through her portion of the house to get to their own. She is in good spirits and smiles and says, "Well the weather gets bad and they have to come through. What can be done? They try to do the best they can and dry off foyer before they come through."
Her house is pleasantly arrange with a few toys and bed linen cast about in the boys room which she picks up as we go through. The house is a long deep shape. We go up stairs and through a door and she says here we are. The room is narrow and wide with windows to the left and right. A couch is on the left and the near the entrance through which we came are two large closets side by side and an enclave area without a window where one could fit a queen or full bed.

I look out the right most window and see lots of water instead of the yard and garden. I look out the left most window and not town street is visualized, but instead I see Liberty Island and a small group of people at the foot of the statue having some kind of presentation. There are people sitting on foldup chairs listening to a woman and man. The woman is in a nice dress with a hat on and the man is in some kind of khaki uniform.
I go back to the right wind and look for the garden but don't see it. O see lots of wter as if I ma looking at the expanse of the Hudson river at the shores of Manhattan.

I leave the window to look about the apartment. I think about my boyfriend and doubt he will prefer this apartment over where we now live, but I continue to talk with the girl as we plan where the furniture might be best laid out. I ask her about the utilities and what is included and she mentions that the past bad weather, utils where usually included but the landlady made them pay extra because it the bill was so very high. I ask her about the yard and she says one must first get permission to use it. I think about the person from which we rent now and how the rent and utilities are very reasonable. The girl does not know the cost of the apartment and I ask her for paper to take her name down and for me to give her mine. She say she had already taken it down when we first met and I notice the pen and paper in her hand. I write down her name and number and thank her and leave.

I continue to walk and stop and get lunch. I can't decide what I feel like eating. I end up at a deli and get a roast beef club with French fries, instead of grabbing a bag of potato chips like usual. In real life I never order French fries. I turn to sit and there is a girl I work with at the deli and another guy that we both seem to know that she is talking about. I can tell she likes him and is teasing him about never having had the roast beef club before. She seems to find it surprising and amusing that he hasn't. He continues to eat at the table where he is sitting with another guy and only half listens to her. I know she is trying to be flirtatious with him. I wake to find myself hungry!

I can relate to dreams. I find that some dreams I have hold facts and others hold truths.

The one that I remember most was when I was about fourteen. I am sitting in front of a TV with three other people. I don't see what is on, but the room is dark, and the TV is the only light. I look around me and I can't see anyones face. I see about to their necks and then the rest is blacked out. I can hear muffled voices in the background, but I can't identify them. I remember very clearly that going lift to right, I am the second person in the half circle.

Two years later, I am sitting in a dark room, in a half circle, in front of a TV, with my brother, his friend, and a friend of mine. I am sitting between my brothers friend and my freind. I am the second person in the half circle.

I also suffer from dasavo. I am always getting the feeling that I have been here before or I have done this before. Sometimes it comes in handy. Other times, well, it's a little weird.

Heh! I hear ya on this one. Sometimes it can just creep you out...

I've been keeping this up my robe sleeve since February 12th because I've been trying to figure it out ... No luck, so. Below are my notes:

This dream I had. I have the funny feeling of being in a small school or community center. Outside was dark and raining ~ like a day around twilight. The flourescent lights seemed to be glaring like the noonday sun. I was walking through this place with a friend of mine, and I have the feeling her name was Linda or Donna or Jill, though in life, I don't know this person. The hallways were not crowded like when class lets out say, in a high school, but as I said before, I have the feeling the time was sometime in the evening. No lockers lined the walls, so perhaps we were in a small school or a community center. This wasn't a flashback to an earlier time; I was dressed the way I do now and looked the way I do now. We laughed and discussed the class we just left as we made our way through the halls. We didn't go out the front doors. However, we made our way to another classroom. I have the feeling we went to an upstairs room, where another class was in session.

The teacher {who, irl, is my Mr Sweetie's bestfriend} looked up from the lecturn, his long hair falling over his shoulders. The look he gave clearly said that he was not happy with our intrusion, even though we'd done so quietly. We sat in desks along the nearest wall. Apparently the teacher decided to take a break because of the perceived disturbance we'd caused; he left the room. I was vaguely aware that Mr Sweetie was in that room, but he was blatantly ignoring me. I contented myself by listening to my friend laugh and converse with those around us ~ she was like that; very personable, just "fit in" wherever we went. Watching the rain outside, I was suddenly compelled to turn and look at my friend. For the first time, I truly realized that she was not a "beautiful" person. And I was shocked, and ashamed, at feeling this way! It wasn't my way to collect people around me based on looks alone. Truly, my friend (I'll call her Jill for simplicity's sake) was one of the most intellegent and most intriguing people I know. Just watching her interacting with others filled me with great joy.

I turned to gaze outside once again. Now, I travel astrally in my sleep all the time, but this is the first time I can remember doing it within a dream Now, let me explain the view I had from the classroom window. The view was framed by two low buildings; shops, I'm sure. They stood on street corners across from each other. The street between them sloped uphill, and was framed by trees. About halfway up, the street was traversed by a railroad track. Further up, the street crested a hill and disappeared. Let's say that I was aware of crouching no the wet pavement of the rail crossing, quite near a manhole cover. I don't remember what the cover said, but I remember the feel as I ran my fingertips across its surface and having the overwhelming feeling that Jill and I had to leave immediately.

In the classroom, I turned to her and said firmly, "We gotta get you home. Right now." Next I know, we're running hand-in-hand over the rail crossing, over the hill and beyond.

It gets kinda crazy after that ... I remember us running down a hill into a small clearing near a shallow stream and seeing a Faerie Queen (or so it seemed) and her court on the banks. There was this beam of subtle light ~ and if you didn't know to look for it, you'd miss it ~ right in the middle of the stream, like a guiding light, and the Court were filing into it one by one. Realizing we were in the wrong place, we took off again.

Next I remember being at this house, kinda like something you'd see on a lakeshore, with a wrap-around deck on "top", and a walk-out "basement". Only this was built into a treed hillside. It was still raining ~ you know, that fine misty stuff we get mid-march through mid-April. I was leaning on the deck rail with a cup of coffee (oh where would I be without my java?) chatting with someone else ~ I can't remember, male/female; just "somebody" ~ about the plans we were making and wondering if they were truly do-able. There was a lot of activity, and people. The overall atmosphere was light and happy, so the situation couldn't have been that "grim".

Next I know, we're running through the snow ~ reminded me of ads I've seen for Aspen or even Gatlinburg. There was this chalet, and we had to rapel from the rear deck onto the mountainside below; it was a snap (I used to rapel in high school all the time). Then we ran a short expanse of mountainside in the open (the sun was shinging bright that day) to a grove of pines, where we grouped on a narrow, winding trail leading down the mountain.


And that's when I, totally confused, woke up ... All inflections, questions, statements, etc and so forth, occured in the dream exactly as I wrote it ~ none of the running commentary was added for clarification.

Mairwen, many dreams that seem confusing are actually very simple to explain, when broken down. This I have just learned, so stay with me.

When you talk about this Jill, a person you do not currently know, could mean that you may meet them. Or you may also be seeing an old friend from childhood and relating their face to someone's that you already know. This I have done many times.

You talk about her being beautiful and then not, that could stand for something that had occured that you thought was wrong. This can make one look different.
The different scences could stand for changing situations. Other people being involved and such.

When you got the feeling of something being wrong and running that can stand for a situation that in real life you might be entering. This could mean something about your job, friendships, or relationships. When something is going to go wrong this dream or types of dreams can occure. I have experience with this.

All of the rain and then the sun-shine could stand for all things turning out for the good. I have noticed that when I dream of dreary weather and then it gets warm and clear skied, good things occur the next day that follows.

Maybe this can be of some help. ;)

Now, I'm a bit backwards. When I my dreams occur in the rain, things are just great! :D

I sure am glad for that!! HEE HEE :)

I hate being the messanger of bad news.
