Experiments in Woolgathering

I haven’t been recalling my dreams much lately. Last night I was pretty sick, and for some reason had this crazy dream.

Seems that I’m in a movie-theme lately (had a LotR dream the night before last).

This dream is set in Middle Earth, at the time of the War of the Rings. The dream is very fluid. Sizes and other details change frequently.

And weird, which I suppose goes without saying. Anyhow…

I haven’t been rememebering my dreams much lately, so since my schedule is a little less crazy now I decided to work on this a bit. I couldn’t find my old dream journal (which is too bad, but I didn’t dig through everything in my office yet either) so I found a journal which only had one page used in it and requisitioned that. I also tried to remember to repeat the “I will remember my dreams” mantra before going to sleep.

Two dreams, one violent, one naked, sort of.

I don’t often remember my dreams well, so to have remembered two vividly in the same number of days is abit extraordinary. So, to celebrate the occasion, I blogged them. Enjoy.

I had the most amazing dream two nights ago—and I don’t remember it, or only remember only a little. Not amazing because of the content, but because I was lucid, aware that I was dreaming.

The setting was almost like a kindergarten class. There were other people there, I think some of my local friends, but I’m not sure. Low chairs and tables, lots of bright, primary colors. I remember being amazed that I was aware I was dreaming, and hoping I’d remember it well in the morning. The only other thing I recall was trying to ask someone something – which one is encouraged to do in a lucid dream – though who I was going to ask or what my query was I’ve no idea.

I’ve been, on and off, reading about dreams and dreaming, and have been curious particularly about lucid dreaming. So, on one hand this was really exciting. I just wish I’d remembered it better. It’s rare that I remember a regular dream well, so it’s not surprising that this is the case this time. Hopefully next time will be different.
