Letherea's The Art of Dreaming Journal

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

[Letherea]

Not alot to report, but I think I better add something so people won't think I'm not participating!

Sunday night, I had those familiar- I'm about to leave my body vibrations/feelings- but for some reason I started feeling a little scared, which is very unusual for me. Normally I feel very excited and have to work on regaining composure. So anyway, nothing came of them and I guess I drifted off to sleep. Nothing since!!!.. Not even a dream that I recall. (sorry, very boring I know)
But I think I have some sort of bug right now. The past few days have been very strange. I don't feel ill in anyway, just incredibly tired. All I want to do is sleep. So when my head touches down, I'm gone in 60 seconds!!!.. and I don't recall a thing. In fact, I don't ever remember being this 'dreamless' before in my life!!
I have read the first chapter and a wee bit of the second. I think I managed a whole sentence last night before I dropped off! At this rate I'll be reading a chapter per year!
Hopefully, when I get over this bug, or whatever it is, I'll start dreaming again. !!

Last night I had two dreams that had quite a similar theme. In the first one, I had joined a paranormal group and was looking for the meeting place. I was walking all around the streets,,looking for the correct address,,finally I found a group of ladies and assumed it was the right one. I went in and sat down and listened for about 10 minutes before I had the nerve to get up and leave. It wasn't the right group. It was a tupperware/ladies type of group. So off I went..I don't know if I ever did find the right one!!

In the second dream. I was also in a group/club type thing. We apparently did different activities every week. And this particular week involved us wearing our bathing suits. So I was in the changeroom for the longest time trying to squeeze into this suit I have. I had to squeeze because for some reason I found it necessary to keep my clothes on underneath!!!.. So when I emerged from the changeroom, people sort of looked at me really oddly, and the leader said 'you know, you didn't really have to keep your clothes on underneath'.)

That was about it.. I don't know if it has any meaning. I don't belong to ANY groups or clubs and have no intentions of joining any.. (shrug)

Hi Letherea, your way of writing mostly make me grin and laugh, you have a very nicely humorous way to speak, I appreciate that.
(I´ve changed/edited the odd expression of my next sentence here, sorry sometimes I only check later how stupid or offending something I wrote does sound).
But what I wanted to say mainly is that parts of your dream like: "We apparently did different activities every week." reminds me (like my own first dream) to that what we just do here, we will do every week a kind of summery of the different chapters, so some things of what we`re dreaming just does feel like another translation of our group-work - hmm.. at least for me it feels like that. Oh and by the way, me too I feel very often tired the last weeks, just only tired, very hard to be disciplined and write things down in between dream-awake-stages, but anyways, its so exciting to do this with all of you. lgn

[Letherea]

Well thank you Nani for the compliment and for your input. I guess it probably IS all related to being in a group.

Well I remembered my dream this morning..but had to rush around all day, and now I've forgotten it. But I DO remember that is was incredibly boring and not worth writing down!!

Aug 25th

Two very disturbing dreams last night. Both about my daughter (she's 15)

The first one, she was playing around on the stairs and tripped and fell face first, very hard, into the door. She was crying and her face was all smashed up,,blood running everywhere .. I couldn't stop hugging her and trying to console her. I asked someone to get some ice.

Second dream.. Me and my daughter were at this really big house party. Lots of people there.. drugs and sex abound!!.. I was trying to keep a close eye on daughter because I realized this wasn't a good place for her. Then I spotted Jean Claude Van-Damme hitting on her!!.. She thwarted off his lude advances and I gave him an evil look. (what a good mother I am) A little while later he was at her again. Literally trying to get into her pants. Grabbing at her and tugging her pants..she was frantic!!.. So I started screaming ""she's only 15 you F*&^ing PERVERT!!"".. with that I proceeded to kick him repeatedly in the head!! (that part was kinda fun).. But I couldn't believe it!.. My daughter was quite upset and said she was just going to tell her dad.. HA!. .I laughed.. her dad is really going to beat up Jean Claude.. good one!!

I have NO idea again why I would dream like this!!.. I guess it's because she just turned 15 on Monday and I guess I'm worried she'll start to do 15yr old girl things.. yikes!!

Kicked Jean Claude, nice, and in the head, top form!!!

Ok..I've been on vacation and my dreams have been just typical dreams. Alot of animal dreams. I do tend to dream alot about animals. ie, my bunny was dying,, i found a stray chow..puppy dream, cat dream.. etc:)) So nothing out of the ordinary till last night...

Sept 4
Last night a ghost boy came to me and sat down with me. I was scared at first but tried not to show it, thinking it would make him leave. My fear left me as soon as he started talking. He was oh about 6 years old maybe. He said his name was Jeremy Fisher. That name has no meaning to me in real life, so I don't know where it came from. He told me how he died, said he died by living too much. (whatever that means).. I think he went on to explain more, but I don't remember anything else.

On a side note:.. about 3 days ago, my husband swore up and down he saw little ghostly legs run by the top of the stairs. (we have no little kids).. so possibly connected?? Possibly a dream conjured up by my imagination?? He was very cute though!!

[nani]

thats very interesting, so either this boy was really dead and connected to you in a certain way, like through past common incarnations, then I would search for the name somewhere somehow.
Or he represented an inner part of you, like an inner voice does question yourself if you do "live too much", hmm hard to imagine to live too much, but who knows, sometimes we have the feeling that we do too much of something special, and even if its something wonderful and idealistic like to care about others in example. And then our subconscious could show in an exaggeration like this that we should care more about ourselve or any other thing, but of course I dont know, I just associate what comes to my mind. lgn

Sept 8th.

I'm getting a little frustrated. For about the past 3 days I have been dreaming alot, and some really good dreams!.. The problem is that I keep forgetting them!!.. I wake up at scattered times during the night, and remember them, and think 'wow, that was good'.. and there's no way I will forget..and this happens all throughout the night.. then when I REALLY wake up...POOF..they are all gone.. not even fragments of memories.... This is really unusual .. and very frustrating!!.. I think about writing them down during the night when I wake and remember..but ughhh.. I don't have the energy to get up and start writing.. and I think it would wake me up too much if I did. sigh.. what to do!!

[nani]

Letherea, I really do have the same thing going on. Okay I do catch some of the dreams, but I know there were much much more and its exactly the same like what you say. After the dream I think: that was so clear and strong - I`ll never forget that - and then bumm its gone. I finally feel like there is another "me" who just decides different, I just have mentioned it to someone in my post this morning. I guess its that what Gav said quite in the beginning, he said something like: isnt it funny that we`re doing a dream-workout and most people got insomnia? I think he meant that we subconsciously just reject our intention.
I think we shouldnt despair, just get as much as we can get of the dreams and keep on.
As again this morning so much of importance (of my dream) was gone I decided from now on to tell me an affirmation/order before sleep: "Im going to write down anything immediately !!!" I just try to keep on moving this way. Wish you all the best, surely you will have better remembrance soon again. lgn

Hi Letherea. I have the same problem. I am too tired to write on the pad thats right beside me! Or I just write a few words, and then I'm like what the heck does that mean??? You have a tape recorder? Existence suggested that to me, and I am gonna try that.
