In one dream, I was running. I didn’t know why I needed to run, but knew it was important, and thought that if I kept running, I would figure it out. I didn’t doubt the importance of running, however. In another dream, I was with another guy in a sort of game show with people watching. We had to get from a pavilion into a house. We were in nineteenth century men’s bathing suits, and were participating in a sport, maybe in the Olympics. A cherub stood on a pedestal, a baby with wings but a strong presence, with a point on its head. When...
read moreI had dreams about food. One was in a gym. Lots of people had gathered to learn about food. The leader had to be really loud and enthusiastic because people were talking over him. He was teaching about sorts of food, particularly about nuts and smogs. I was interested in what smogs were; I thought they sounded good. They were nuggets of delicious food. In another dream, I was in a restaurant with my friend, who ordered a burger with tuna salad on it. At the table, she complained that it was bland because there was no sauce. The owner ran his...
read more(Downloaded Somnium) I was walking in a warehouse, and I decided to steal candy. It was a warehouse of people’s belongings. When I couldn’t find the candy, I decided to tidy it up a bit. Then I heard footsteps, and figuring I would be viewed suspiciously, I scurried off. In the other corner of the warehouse, my ex-girlfriend was giving some kind of lecture. I felt confident, and sat in the middle of the crowd. She asked the class a question and instead of answering it out loud, I began debating with a group of three other men whom...
read more(downloaded Somnium, went to sleep to it) [Not having the benefit of the core Oneironauticum group’s wisdom about what volume to set the music to, a couple of times, my sleeping partner and I woke up and wondered why we couldn’t hear the music more, before we fell back asleep. Next time we will turn the volume up a little at falling-asleep time.] Went to bed between 11:30pm and midnight. Had decent dream recall around 7am that devolved to really poor dream recall when I actually woke up at 8am. Snippets: With JP, spying on people...
read more(went to sleep listening to Brian Eno’s Discreet Music) Pools of olive oil in my hands from giving someone (a large man) a massage, balancing on balls of my feet around edges of loft bed. Phone rings, so many rings that I can answer after wiping off my hands. It’s my chiropractor calling to straighten out some technicality re. my address in his files. He explained that he had to write that I’ll be at my temporary address for 10 years, rather than one because otherwise the software would eject me at the end of the year and my data...
read moreMostly awareness of a landscape, a desert scape. I’m lying in a very arid environment curled around a giant fig. I stay that way for a long time. Later in the night, I was in a hypnagogic state. I became lucid and could see a swirl, an imagery noise space, with heads (only the head) emerging, coming in to focus. They were people I knew, talking to me, but saying mostly really mundane things, like my grandmother who reminded me that I needed to answer a letter she wrote me.
read moreI remembered two dreams. 1. I was in the nature nature/desert with my mom and maybe somebody else. We are spending a few days. It is like a retreat. I am in the middle of nature, very dry and I observe the native plants (rosemary or thyme). Suddenly it is time to go to dinner. I go to my room to get changed for dinner. I enter my room, which is like a dorm that five or six people also share with me. Once inside my room, I go to my closet. Two young women are talking and both light cigarettes inside the room. I asked them “you guys are not...
read moreI had several dreams throughout the course of the night, two of which were longer, more narrative dreams. The first took place mostly at night, in dodgy parts of town, a general air of seediness around the whole scene. In dingy, worn apartments, women were kept as sex slaves, maybe foreign women who’d been tricked there though that part wasn’t clear. My position seemed unclear, though I think I had recently arrived as one of the women imprisoned in the circumstance. My point of view changed rapidly across many different locations, all...
read moreInitially, it took me a while to fall asleep. The 5-HTP excited my system; I felt my heartbeat elevated and my mind was racing. Eventually, I began to drift off. Then I felt a pull, almost like when a car engine catches, a downward motion into the sleep state. As I felt that pull and moved into sleep, I saw a bright green flash. In the dream I then had, I was in the loft, lying in the bed in which I was actually laying, dreaming myself in my real life position and place. I woke from that dream quickly, and after a short while lying alert, I...
read moreMy girlfriend was helping me settle into her mermaid home. Beautifully vivid colors for all of this, sun-filtering through the kelp from above, and our home made of kelp woven airtight about air bubbles, creating rooms that ranged in size and dryness. She did a morning ritual that involved swimming in fast arcs in tight spirals around the kelp, and that woke up all the fish that weren’t nocturnal. She was teaching me which fish were OK to eat; I had to ask their names first, and any named Frank were OK to eat because they were both tasty...
