Blakes The Art of Dreaming Journal

[Gav]

(First record for the night of Sunday 21st of Aug)

[Blake]

Ok. I haven't read the chapter yet, but here are my dreams/projections for last night.

My first major dream I don't remember so well because I didn't write it down right afterwards but went into another dream (that makes me forget the ones before to a certain extent). But it had to do with being on my families old house boat and in the wilderness. At one point a baby animal (I think a deer) and me were being chased by a bigger animal (I think a giant crocodile) and I we were like swimming down a river. I wasn't afraid, I just stayed ahead of the baby and the croc and planned on going by the babie's mother (which was a huge bear) so the bear would see the baby getting chased and eat the croc. Once I passed the bear it ate the croc and all was well lol.

I think it was after that that I projected. I got up and went to my uncle's room, but didn't see him in bed. In case he was actually there (I still don't know if he was or wasn't) and my mind was just messing up the image, I did a knee drop onto his chest to see if maybe he'd feel it. I then noticed a mirror and decided to go through it as some people were talking about doing on here but nothing happened. I was in the same place, just on the other side of the mirror which wasn't and/or isn't against a wall. This experience was not too objective if at all, but today I looked and there is actually a mirror that COULD've been the one I was messin with. It doesn't look the same but things were distorted anyway. It could've been it in my own distorted version of reality. I wasn't real sharp mentally but was conscious. After I went through the mirror I woke myself up so I'd be sure to remember it all.

I'm rusty!!

Sometime after that I dreamt that my aunt had friends over. They were just kinda noisy and I wanted them to shut up lol. I don't know why I dreamt that. She never has friends over. I then went and played tennis with my brother and some other guy... maybe it was Gav now that I think about it. I don't ever play tennis either.

I had another dream that I'm forgetting now because I didn't write it down. I think in part of it my aunt was asking me if I wanted water and jelly beans. Unless that was another one.

I got to the vib's one more time but a noise disturbed me. Then I was going to try to do more, but this tree branch that touches my wall started scraping 'cause the wind started blowing.

This is kinda frustrating. Today I am going to get a fan and earplugs so maybe that'll help. Maybe I'll get a chainsaw and cut that tree down too.

[Blake]

Ok, I just got a fan. It's so powerful that it knocks itself over from it's own wind. I'm gonna have to start wearing goggles and a scarf to bed lol.

My bedroom will now be referred to as mission control lol.

[Blake]

Oh, am I a day ahead? I was just wondering why no one has posted. I guess I was supposed to wait until tonight. All those dreams occured Sunday morning (this morning) so I was thinking that counted as sunday. Oh well I guess I'll leave 'em since I already posted.

[Gav]

Hey its cool Blake, with a HQ name like mission control!!! I am sure you have it all in control

I have a fan in my room at the moment and I am starting to think that it may be disturbing my sleep a little too much, the cool air is good but the sound is keeping me partially awake, too awake.

Tennis is interesting, I had a dreama couple of weeks back in which we played golf (I dont play golf!).

[Blake]

Ok as for last night...

In the main dream I remember some people and I were working our way through this like cave/labarynth thing. Each room was a puzzle. In one we had to figure out how to get to the car on the other side of a wall... in that one for example we had to realize that the main puzzle (whatever it was) was a decoy and that we needed to go under the wall through this tiny tunnle that you could just barely fit through. We were getting chased through this maze thing and the people chasing us were coming just as we figured that out. I jumped in the driver seat of that car as the maze was starting to crumble onto us and I floored it and jumped the car like 90 feet in the air and we landed in water. I was then in a bike race (though I guess this might count as another dream). The other people had a head start and I didn't really try to pass 'em but I ment my brother at the bottom and said I wondered what my time was because I said I probably could've won if I tried.

Other dreams I don't remember as well... or else they were just really short. In one I was at some sort of festival with my mom where there was a lot of grafiti around. In another I was dating a girl who I then broke up with, and in another I was hanging out with my friend Ben who forgot his sunglasses at my parents house where my parents were asleep.

I have noticed that some people are recording images they see while in trance. I hear mild noises (like the background noise in a restaurant) a lot. I see images and even read pages in my head as strange as that sounds. I have a lot of those sorts of things so I just wanted to say that I don't think I'll be recording any during this time... unless I am really supposed to. I guess then I could mention some of them or something.

[Blake]

Last night I had insomnia. I have been experimenting with taoist sexual techniques for raising energy. These seem to stimulate my adrenal system making it difficult to relax. I'll be interested to see how these affect projection after giving it a good try.

I did actually have a few dreams but I didn't write them down when I woke up and my memories faded. One had to do with being in a swamp which was next to a place I was going to school, and another had to do with being in a mall type thing. There were some skateboarders there and a bunch of punk kids. That's all I can remember as of now.

[Blake]

Last night I had a few dreams, a kinda big one that I didn't write down and then forgot, and then I had one where I was in alaska and I was out in the wilderness in the snow at night. It was really cool. At another point I was in a building in Alaska and looked out over some other buildings and I could see into a shaolin temple and I comtemplated making my life more like the monks inside and wished for a moment that I had been born into that life. This was linked to a dream where I was thinking about adopting a 3 legged dog and another dog.

I'm gonna sleep very little tonight we'll see if I dream at all.

[nani]

this impresses and touches me.. of course only an assumption, but I cant get rid of the feel and of to think that quite a lot of us "searchers" have been having several monk-like lifes. Adopting `underprivileged`ones just reminds me to the "boddhisattva-vow" - coming here and being here by free will, not by neccessity, just to help others. Okay Im a romanticist and an idealist I guess lol. lgn

[Blake]

Cool, I'd never heard of the boddhisattva-vow.

I did have some dreams 2 nights ago but I didn't write 'em down and now I can't think of them.

Here was my main dream from last night: I was looking at a giant moose that was as big as a two story house. I went and got my camera and went over to photograph it, but then it turned out that I was in world wor two and the giant moose was a giant man that was wreaking havoc on my side (I guess I was with the US). I was talking to the giants wife and the giant didn't like that so I ran from it, and all the while i could hear it coming because it's footsteps shook the ground. I ran into a shed. My dog who was with me hid under something and I grabbed 2 chains and folded them in half and started swinging them on alternating sides of my body. The giant (who was a little smaller now) came over and I started hitting it in the head with the chains over and over until I knocked it down. I then cut his head off with a shovel and I think that was the end.

[Blake]

I had a some dreams that I don't remember well and then one where I was trying to catch a wild horse. I was sort of skiing after it and me and my friend were trying to jump on it to ride it. There was another part where I was balancing on a pipe and running along it. That was the same dream but non of it really made sense or flowed.

I feel like I had a lucid dream that I forgot.

Tomorow I am going to try to project again. It's been four months since I've really practiced, so I'm going to start again. Even if I have to get up at 5:00 AM to raise energy. I've got to get back on a schedule. My ability has slipped. I just need to not be too lazy in the mornings.

[Blake]

Adopting `underprivileged`ones just reminds me to the "boddhisattva-vow"

I've been thinking for a long time that someday before long I might adopt a daughter from one of those really poor countries. It'd be like hitting the jackpot for the kid. I saw adoption sites on the internet, I wonder if it'd matter if I'm not married. I'd get like a ten year old or older so I wouldn't have as much work. It'd have to be a girl though, teenage boys annoy the hell out of me.

[Blake]

In a dream I had this morning we were thinking about giving my dog away to some people but then I said I didn't want to. Later in the same dream I was leaving in a friend's car. I was going to follow another car like accross the country or something but I couldn't find the tapes and CDs I wanted to listen to on the way. Later on I was in the car in Las Vegas with a friend I haven't spoken to in years and we were commenting on how the buildings come out of the water in vegas like in venice (but they don't in real life). I was going to show my friend how to get through town using underground pipes, but the dream ended first.

Ok I had a really weird one last night. I almost don't even want to post it. But ok... I don't think this has any meaning or anything it was just weird, I normally don't have any dreams this weird. It started with me being in a school for retarded people. My mom mentioned the mental disorder I had and I tried to get her to say it again so I could look it up and see if it was a real disorder (it sounded made up and I didn't think I belonged there), and I finally got her to say it again so I was going to look it up with a friend. But first there were these porn stars that came to the school and gave out sex toys for some reason and they hung out (but didn't have sex) with some of the guys in the school. That's as far as that part went... after the porn stars were gone I started walking with my one friend in the school again on a mission to find out if the disorder I supposedly had was real or made up, and he was like half dead and decaying. I saw the girl he was supposed to be marrying and she was all decaying too and pretty much dead although she was still walking around. She had like decayed down to just lookin like a scrambled egg so we decided to try to marry her and my friend really quick but she kinda dissapeared into nothing but she had other eggs there now. And then we heard her voice say "my world" and the other eggs started dissapearing into "her world" or the world of the dead, but then she replaced those eggs with bigger eggs and they hatched and grew up heads of different animals before our eyes, but didn't fully develope but the heads then puked up more animals that did fully develope. Somehow from the spirit realm so to speak this girl was having some affects on the city making it like a popular town or something. Later on at a bar I heard the dead girls father (who was a large man) talking about how great his daughter was for bringing about the se changes, and that made me mad because I knew that he had hated his daughter while she was alive and only liked he after she was dead and started to change things from the other side. Since he hated her while she was a live and said how great she was after she was dead I went down and punched him in the head 3 times and knocked him out.

I may have had some other dreams that I'm not remembering right now. If I remember them I'll post them later.

[nani]

I just have to mention Blake, thats really funny, because I was reading today about "eggs" and giants" (shortly put into my journal) and had an egg occured in my dream myself.
About the adoption, wow thats a great great idea, about if you are not married- that could be difficult in fact (in germany at least), but finally foremost all depends on if you have a regular life with regular income! Wow that would be something really great. lgn

[Blake]

That dream was kind of disturbing lol

[Blake]

I just had somewhat of an epiphany regarding last night. It seems I had an OBE but only just realized it. Let me explain...

Last night I was looking in the mirror in my room and noticed new wrinkles on my forehead. I looked at them closely and I was like "when did those get there?" as they were darker than I know them to be normally. This morning when I got up I looked in the mirror and saw that there were (still) no wrinkles on my forehead. I decided that it must've been the lighting that made the wrinkles bigger last night, but then I was thinking about that again just now and I was like "could that really make that difference?" so I went back upstairs and closed my blinds to make the light the same and the wrinkles did not show looking in the mirror at all. So I guess it was just an OBE in which the only reality fluctuation was that wrinkles on my forehead were bigger when looking in the mirror. It felt so physical and everything else was so normal that I didn't notice I was out. All I did was look in the mirror next to my bed and then the other mirror at the end of my bed then gotten back in bed. I guess maybe if I had turned I would have seen my body. I guess I just went back to bed after looking in the mirror next to my bed again. I was conscious, I just thought it was physical. I suspect that I was dreaming before it and went into dreams from when I layed back down instead of waking up and that later on (today) I grouped the event with when I (actually) went to the bathroom since it was kinda surrounded by dreams. Or maybe I didn't actually go to the bathroom either. I suppose the reflection might have been another form of reality fluctuation caused by my expectation to see it since I thought I was physical.

Well I'll stop rambling now lol, that was just kind of a confusing one.

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

wow thats cool blake, hmm so is this the first time you encountered a mirror in dreams/obe's???
I find mirrors to be very interesting since I always see them while in obe's/lucid dreams..

[Blake]

No lol, I mentioned another mirror incident in just my first post there. I've messed with 'em before and stuff, I don't know how many times.

[~¤LilacSky¤~]

ahh, well Ive read before they are supposed to help with obes...not sure though if they do for most people, I know for myself they are always important..always.

[Blake]

Hey we are supposed to record OBEs and stuff too right? Or are we just doin' dreams specifically?
