Dream 044-047: Imploding Sun & Another Map Dream

044: I was in my room, except it was located where my Jr. High school gym and cafeteria are. I remember a car turning the corner there and the headlights flashing me across the eyes. (I was not wearing the Nova Dreamer this night.) My room had two windows. There was more to this dream...

045: All my relatives were upstairs. And we were group clapping and arguing. And speaking our minds about each other.

046: I was in outer space, I didn't feel like I was inside a spaceship or a body. I was staring at a yellow star that nearly filled up my field of view. It looked a little time-lapse fake - it started to implode. As the star caves-in on itself, I turn and fly away as fast as possible, which I believe, leads directly into my next dream...

047: I saw an overhead map of an earth-like planet. I chose where to settle on it. Once I had chosen a river filled area, I appeared in the world within sight of the settlement I saw from above. I swooped around the settlement and the visuals got really fake and hypnagogic. Then I woke up.

Dream 025: Falling and Voices

(Nightmare) It took me over an hour to fall asleep. I only slept for six hours. Lots of hypnagogic imagery. And (A) the startling voice of Stacy saying my name. In the imagery we were in my car - just before I fell asleep.

The night before, (B) I suddenly felt myself falling off a second story balcony. It was so shocking, my heart started pounding extremely hard. I woke up shaking.

Note: This is the first entry in which I was struck by fear. I didn't consider this entry to be a "true dream" at the time. Yet here again are those familiar dream elements, condensed into a few short sentences. I am familiar with hypnagogic imagery but rarely experience it vividly.
