Going to sleep here, waking up in Illinois
Even though I did nothing intentionally to generate any "special effects" last night, they came again in bunches. Three times I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep, and as I "fell asleep" here, I woke up in a bed in Illinois where I grew up.
At this time (the following morning) I don't remember the first event, other than I recall it happening. Actually, it ended up with me being on a baseball field, and I recall my uniform number being 45, which I thought was weird. A few friends from the high school baseball days were there also.
He's going to pop
I walked into a room where Zen Masters, Zen students, and my youngest sister were seated. I looked at a whiteboard to my right, and I knew the message on the board was wrong, so I erased it, wrote something correct, and sat down with the others.
A Zen Master pointed to the whiteboard and asked a question. Looking at the board, it had changed back to its previous wording. "No, no, no", I said, "that's wrong", and I went back to the whiteboard to change it again.
I changed it, turned around, and everyone was gone, even the room was gone. I was surrounded by white light.
Lucid dream of an astral event ... and a ghost
(I'm going to try to describe what just happened, but frankly, this was a little unusual, even for me, so I'll just see if I can report this experience as it happened.)
I gained consciousness during a dream state, and found myself laying in a bed. I didn't know where I was, but the bed was set up so that my head and upper torso were propped up, such as in a bed whose top half could be raised, or perhaps my upper body had some pillows propped underneath it.
Notes from another world (lucid dream?)
Unable to "wake up" today after a long night of work, I finally decided to take an afternoon nap. After a short nap I felt a little better, but decided to see if I could lay down again and see if I could stay on the borderline of sleep and wakefulness.
Well, that didn't work, but I did get "wake up" within the dream "somewhere else". As usual, I wake up within the dream, and there are things going on around me, and I have to figure out what's going on.
Funny dream, ocean dream, old man dying dream
Dream 1 - Funny dream in a car
4:37am ... just had a funny dream ... I'm out in a city street, getting things out of the trunk of a car. I'm supposed to go to a former client's office and do some work late at night. There's water in the trunk, and there are a couple of bare electric wires in the water. Then a phone starts ringing in the trunk, and I think, "Well, I'm not touching anything in there", but after a few moments (and more ringing) I decide it's safe.
Extremely disoriented following a short nap
At my sister’s house … I just drove up here to visit with my sister and mom for Mother’s Day this morning. I was tired all day, and with a little quiet time here I decide to take a nap on the couch. I fall sleep almost immediately.
"Mugabe" is killed by an oriental woman
A recurring dream ... a man, someone named "Mugabe" is killed, and people are after me to find the killer. In particular this one oriental woman who is hounding me the most to find the killer, turns out to be the killer herself.
Near the end of this dream I'm trying to get my sister's attention, to try to help me. But in the end we get this lady, and I have her tied up, but she knows the martial arts, and she's pretty much ready to kick my butt. Somebody shoots her though, maybe my sister.
"Have you ever lost a baby?"
Last dream of the morning, as I'm waking up, I'm doing a bunch of things with the family. I went upstairs to do something, the room up there is like the room in the house where I grew up, b/c the window is similar.
My youngest sister walks in, and she walks into a bathroom that is attached to this room. A little later she says something like "Have you ever lost a baby?" I said no. She said "We lost a boy", and something else. Then she says, "You've already met him."
A trip to Alaska (or Canada)
Last dream before waking up, I'm driving to Alaska ...
When it starts I'm in a car, driving along a beautiful road, and a mountain range is in front of me, and the view is spectacular. The fog is rolling over the mountain, and I'm on the road by myself, and I start to think about taking a picture of the mountain.
At that point I don't remember anyone being in the car with me. Later in the dream I'm driving down a road, and there's a snowy patch coming up, and I think that I need to pull over before I hit the snow, and put the chains on.
$1.35 saved is $1.35 earned
Flipped over to my right side, not really asleep, thinking about my middle sister, maybe because of bin Laden starving himself to death ... I'm thinking ... sitting in a restaurant, sitting at a bar or counter, and someone next to me says "$1.35 saved is $1.35 earned."
I have no idea what this means, but I'm thinking to myself, "No $1.35 saved is really almost $2.00 earned when you factor in taxes." This is going on while I'm thinking about my sister.
