The dream took place in the space where we were all actually sleeping, and in the dream we were all there asleep in the midst of Oneironauticum. This guy came in and was walking around the apartment. He started hovering over me, getting really close and in my face. Jennifer yelled at him, told him that it was totally inappropriate for him to be there. Then his friend started trying to make excuses for him, saying he was on something, not in his...

I dreamed that I was being chased by a giant floating brain. I was with a friend from my childhood. We used to play that we were on Mars. The brain chased us through that real/pretend Mars setting. I wasn’t sure whether the brain was real or was my friend’s delusion, but still it chased us and we ran. This went on for a very long time.

In one dream, He admitted to me that he and his girlfriend had actually been together for a very long time, that they had several children and an old Victorian mansion together. We stood on a cliff overlooking the ocean as he told me this. Then he walked away in one direction, toward his girlfriend who I saw standing in the distance, and I got into my VW and drove away in the other...

In attendance at the October, 2009, Oneironauticum were dreamers lissa ivy, Erik, Vibrata, David, Dean, Nathan, Juliana, Stacey, Katherine, and yours truly, Jennifer.

Many of us had heard the same myth in our childhoods, that if you ever dreamed you died, you would actually died, but most of us had at some point died in a dream....

The next Oneironauticum is Thursday, October 29. For this session, we’ll be working with a combination of Melatonin and Vitamin B-6. Melatonin is naturally produced in the human pineal gland (the sort sold in stores is grown on fungi), and helps regulate circadian rhythms by causing drowsiness and lowering the body temperature. Studies have shown than melatonin increases REM sleep time and dream activity. The oneirogenic properties of B-6 are...

I am in the living room of my parents’ former house. It is raining outside. My maternal uncle and I walk into the room. All over the walls water is seeping through the plaster in spots – there is no wallpaper, just plain plaster. I say something about repairing the plaster, and he says it would be easier and less expensive to dry wall over it. I wonder if my dad would do this, and I think that it will make the room a little smaller,...
