Fun lucid dreams; note about dream recall
Hours of funny lucid dreams this morning. For some reason I've been going back to my aerospace days during dreams lately, or more accurately, during the dreams I can remember.
It occurred to me as I wrote that last line that I may have given people the impression that I remember all of my dreams. To be clear, that's not the case (especially when alcohol is involved).
Shuttles launching, and a huge rocket crashing
I woke up from a horrific dream about 6:15am today.
Most of my family and I were at the house we grew up in, and when I looked out a modified version of my bedroom window, I saw three Space Shuttles being launched simultaneously. Before I had time to think, another three Shuttles were launched. I didn't take this as a positive event; it seemed more like a need to evacuate the planet, or at least the United States.
Quality time on the holodeck
I thought about going to the movies later today, but decided to go to the 'interactive holographic virtual environment' instead ... which is a fancy way of saying I decided to sleep in until after 10am. I've worked for at least 21 straight days, and I was brain-dead last night.
Fright night in dreamland
Last night was "fright night" in dreamland. One dream involved me talking to several family members around a dinner table about a Monte Carlo simulation I wrote, and asking them what they thought the answer was. I specifically remember my mom's mother being there (my grandmother, who passed away about 15 years ago).
As I was giving my explanation, my dad (he passed away 16 years ago) more or less burst into the room and asked what we had done. While we were busy talking, someone had stolen things from the other room, including my laptop and other expensive things.
Google Chrome for OS X, browser usage statistics, and MacBook skins
I need to get back here and write more about my experiences intentionally sleep-walking this week (thta's not really an accurate description, but it will have to do), but in the meantime, here are a few links to what I've been very busy writing about lately. Here are some of my latest articles over on the devdaily.com website:
Moving my body from the dream state is just like body-switching
I've been trying some experiments lately, trying to move my physical body while I am in the dream state, and as I was writing a friend to tell them about this, it occurred to me that the feeling I have when doing this is identical to the feeling I've had in several "body switching" experiences.
An aborted OBE
Another night house-sitting for a friend, and another OBE, this time about 4am. I accidentally stopped this one short because I was trying to do something else, but here's how it went down:
Another Faith Hill song; intentional sleep-walk
Quick note: I had another dream of a Faith Hill song this morning. I could have easily pulled four lines of the song back with me from the dream world, but I was too lazy, and decided to just enjoy the music and the dream.
One more note: I may try another attempt at intentional sleep-walking this weekend. (This is where my body is sleeping, but my mind is awake, and I can somehow control and move the body from the dream state.) If it seems as dangerous as the last attempt, I will abort the mission asap, and then never do this again.
Long lucid dream at another house
I slept over at a friend's house again last night, and though I didn't have an OBE this time, I had a long, lucid dream. It started in the back porch and yard of a large house, then morphed into my youngest sister and I fooling around with some things at a store, and seeing some weird futuristic toys, like a bungee-jumping duck, if that makes any sense.
An OBE coming on; time running out
If I were a betting man, I'd bet that under normal circumstances, tonight I would have an OBE. I've read that an epileptic can tell when they are about to have a seizure, and over the last two years I've been very accurate in predicting when I will have an OBE.
