PK, sex, and love
Quick notes: Last night I felt like this might be one of those OBE nights, but I feel like I messed that up by watching tv until nearly 11pm, and then immediately going to bed. (The feeling here is getting easier to describe. Some people might call it feeling "spacey", or ungrounded.)
Recurring dream with a young brunette woman
I just drove 660 miles from Virginia Beach back to Louisville, Kentucky, and after the long drive, I decided to take a nap. During that 90-minute siesta I remembered that I've been seeing a relatively young brunette (in her 20s) for the last several nights of dreams. I wrote "seeing" there instead of "dating" because I can't remember all the details of this dream relationship.
A call during a dream
In the middle of a dream at about 5:20 this morning, I suddenly hear a woman's voice call my name out twice. The calling not a good thing, it's more like "Help ... help", or "Where are you?, Where are you?" and the voice is completely different from anything in the dream.
(A decent analogy is that the dream was like I was sitting on the couch watching tv, and hearing the voice was like hearing someone yelling outside, like the one time in Virginia when I woke to hear a woman screaming one Sunday morning, and her townhouse just down from ours was on fire.)
Can't turn on the lights in a dream
I wasn't feeling well last night, and went to be early. (I thought I was getting a cold or flu, but it was really more just a feeling of being very tired and unable to wake up.) Somewhere around 9 or 10pm I had a semi-lucid dream where something happened that hasn't happened in a while.
Recurring dream of a new job, and complete silence
Two quick notes this morning. First, I've been having a recurring dream of starting a new job. The building I work in seems to be three stories tall, and I have a desk outside the office of the man who seems to run everything. During the first few dreams there was nothing for me to do, but this morning he walked out and asked if I was ready to get started. I don't know him, but I do know a couple of women in the office from my own previous jobs, including Pam and Michelle.
Consciousness endures
Ah, a nice morning of pleasant dreams, a terrific way to start any day. I was glad I could reach over, turn off the alarm clock, and go back to sleep until the dreams were over. I may not be incredibly wealthy, but many times I do think I am a fortunate person.
That being said ... the real reason for writing today's post is this quote from Iyengar's book, "Light on Life":
"What mind is and does dies with us. But consciousness is that aspect of mind, the envelope of continual awareness, which endures ..."
Christine, Seth, two numbers, and something about the universe
Just a few quick notes from dreams this morning. In the first dream a girl from high school named Christine was living in the attic of a familiar house. I can't put it all together, but I know that attic well, though I think it's only from previous dreams.
In the second dream, which ocurred around 5am, I made these notes:
Aborted attempt to make a Facebook entry while asleep
Bummer, I'm pretty sure I could have made a blog or Facebook entry last night while my body was sleeping, but unfortunately when I tried to do it my heartrate took off like crazy, and I had to abort the attempt.
Here are a few more details about the night:
Meditating again, and a recurring funeral dream
Over the last few days I've finally been getting back to meditating every night before going to sleep, and as far as dreams and lucid dreams go, this effort has been very helpful. Last night was another long night of very vibrant dreams. I won't say they were lucid, but I was able to make some decisions in the dreams, trying to explore the holodeck so to speak, and try to understand what was happening.
Just a few quick notes about the dreams:
Sick, and a dream of "echinicia"
I was down and out again yesterday, feeling sick with what I assume are allergy problems, so I took a long nap in the afternoon. (I also had to get up at 6am to get to the Toyota repair shop, which is much earlier than my usual wake up time.) I finally started feeling better very late last night, and had great and very vivid dreams of friends and family members throughout the night.
