Dream 032-033: Vaction with Estranged Friends

032: I recall being at a cabin with Katie, Fred, Molly, and Emily. I know there was some cool drama in the attic during this dream but I don't recall any of that in detail. I do distinctly recall us all getting ready to go. Getting our stuff packed.

The house was two stories with a yellow painted interior. I remember walking down the stairs, flirting with Molly, and grabbing Emily's hand.

Note: My Mother and I used to go on vacation with them to a house near the Russian River. It had been over 5-years since we had vacationed together. Katie was my Mom's close friend since childhood. Why she appears so often in these records is mind boggling for me. There is no apparent reason for it, that I am aware of, whatsoever.

On the other hand, they had the only attic I entered as a child and still clearly recollect today.

I have probably had dreams about their attic since before I was 10-years old. Nothing of great interest ever occurred there in real life. Molly and I use to play there once in a while. In "dreamland" I strongly suspect it's a location of olden suppressed dream experiences. Although I only consciously remember glimpses of it.

033: I vaguely recall meeting up with Daric in a dream. He was sleeping close to a digital alarm clock.

Note: Daric and Joe were my best friends, and a regular part of my daily life at the time of this writing. Both lived close by in the same city. Yet, this is the first time Daric appears in the dream records, and Joe appears as sort of an extra in only two dreams before this.

Sleeping next to a digital alarm clock is exactly what I was doing throughout many of these experiments and records.

Dream 029-030: Friend of a Hottie, Audio Only Dream

029: I was sitting on a sofa with my pockets empty and inside out. I was talking about Nicole's sister with an unknown person. Whoever I was talking with seemed to know Nicole. I was sitting in a living room I did not recognize.

Note: Nicole is a girl I had a brief crush on when she showed up senior year of high school as the blossomed ugly duckling. I had not thought about her in years, we never exchanged numbers, and I do not know if she had a sister or not.

030: I do not remember anything visual about this dream. I remember someone talking about a storm coming and that Katie and Fred were playing Battleship.

Note: Boardgames are something I think to play during blackouts. Blackouts tend to occur during storms. An odd implication in my first recorded "audio only" dream.

Dream 021-22: Mob Milkshakes & Cigarette Smoke

021: I had many vivid dreams, many! I remember only bits and pieces. I remember this strange mob guy and these strange milkshakes he made. I'm pretty sure Fred (& Katie) were in my dream, if not the entire family. I remember being in a (very) high place. I remember a huge place, cylinder shaped with spiraling balconies.

There may have been a high school mock up in the dreams as well. I don't remember ever being lucid. High school is one of the dream locations I was dream seeding to travel to.

022: I'm with my Dad. I was working in the computer room. He was smoking a cigarette near to the butt of it. I said "Dad you aren't supposed to smoke in here?" He practically ignored me then finished what little of the cigarette he had left.

Dream 012-013: X-Ray Vision & Roadside Sex

012: I remember clearly I was at a gas station filling my car up with gas. I decided to look down into the tank and watch the gas go in, a physical impossibility. The tank must have went down into darkness over 100ft. I could see the gas level getting higher and higher, until it almost overflowed.

013: Some way or another I was at this strange house I don't know the exact order of events. People were after me. At one point I asked Molly, the girl I was with (estranged childhood best friend), to open the closet door while I readied a shotgun. Sure enough when she opened it a white trash looking guy with a rifle jumped out. My gun jammed, but eventually I shot him.

Katie and Fred (Molly's real life parents) showed up shortly thereafter and told me not to worry about Molly's boyfriend, that she "still had feelings for me." Soon thereafter we hit the road which was loaded with a mob of women who may have been working for the "bad guys." The road was like Skyline, long and narrow, and just women. Most everybody walked only, I didn't see any cars. I pulled one of them off to the side, not Molly, and we made out. I was running to the north, the girl I basically had sex with on the side of the road I didn't know.

Note: Dream 0012-013 are examples of being semi-lucid. Looking back, it would seem I had made an enterprise out of running down athletic women and fooling around with them. I never noticed the connection between Dream 009 and Dream 013 until now. A road filled with alluring women might have required a deep gas tank? Also see Dream 015.
