Circular Cage

Was about to fall asleep just now. Super, super close to asleep. Opened eyes a split second and saw what looked like a ball of some sort made of wire (like a circular bird cage or something. Size a bit bigger than hands). It was kind of in midair, in front of window, falling. I bolted upright, turned on light, looked around everywhere, and I'm still not completely convinced I dreamt it.

Shadows against window blinds look a lot like I could have imagined it... Sounds I hear coming from that area tell me it was something else. When I woke up I immediately thought it was a big bug and I was just seeing its wings it something.

Slightly terrified to fall asleep now..

Blood Clot

Dreamt there was a pain in my left side, under my rib cage. The pain kept moving higher and higher. I was still living with my parents and was in the kitchen when I yelled for them to take me to the hospital. They slowly carried me to the hospital (in reality this hospital is a half hour drive away because my childhood home was metaphorically in Timbuktu, but they were carrying me the whole way on foot). At some point Devin takes place of them, and just like in my waking life, he stops and chats with people during important times. In this case, while I'm dying. Anyways, finally we get to my doctor and she ends up being the midwife that helped me deliver my daughter. While telling her what's wrong with me and begging her to get this clot out, she tells me that just getting it out won't work. She tells me she would have to put something in me (she calls it a 'lean-to' but I assume she's talking about a 'stent' or something.) I throw all of these kids' toys off of a table (similar toys of my daughter's, similar table I own), and lay onto it, begging her to hurry, because I am afraid I'm going to die any minute. Suddenly the left side of my face goes numb. I try to smile but can't on that side. Right before she puts me under, I ask her to give me a toy of my daughter's that was on the floor for good luck. I start to become half-asleep and think to myself that if I turn onto my back (or on my right side, I don't remember), then my arm and face, etc, will stop feeling so numb. Also while being worked on, my 'dream-within-a-dream' was of Stevie Nicks playing piano in a room that had a very '70s-'80s trailer vibe.

8/26/10 -Whispers.

I didn't write down a dream this morning. I did write down something that happened the night before, while going to bed. I was just in the hypnagogic state, and I heard very clearly my Aunt Erin's voice telling me in a whisper: "Al, it's almost 1 o'clock already."

That day I was in pretty good spirits, but towards night I started to get upset again about losing my cat. When I get depressed I usually hear voices before I fall asleep or something similar, so this might be why.

Anyways, I started to scribble this down on my notebook to remember for tomorrow and out of curiosity's sake, I checked the clock. It was a few minutes after 1 AM.

Whispering

• To dream that someone is whispering in your ear, suggests that you need to pay closer attention to something or listen to someone more carefully.

Time

• To dream about time, indicates your fears of not being able to cope with the pressures and stresses of everyday life.

8/24/10 - Die.

Although I'm uploading this about a week late, I have a good excuse. My cat died on the 24th, so I was a bit depressed and unmotivated to upload anything. This was the night before my cat died (journal entry):


So anyways, I didn't write down a dream that day. But I did write down something the night before, when I was going to bed. I was half asleep and I had a clear vision of my sister signing (sign language) the word DIE to me. She had blood all over her, too. I remember waking up with a jolt, feeling guilt and panic, and and feeling pain in my chest.

Bloody Hands

• To see blood on your hands, signifies that you are experiencing some sort of guilt.

11/30/09 - Sleep Walking?

Forgot my dream, here's an old one I had that I posted in a message board:

Double-posting only because it won't let me edit..



But I had a really weird dream that got even weirder when I woke up. I dreamt that my dog was scratching at the bedroom door, scratching, scratching.. It got annoying, because I was sleeping (in my dream), so I went over to the door to open it and my dog started pouncing up getting excited. My hair was in a ponytail, and I felt someone pulling on it. It was my dog, he kept pouncing up and grabbing at my hair and tugging at it. Once the door opened, he left and I went back into my bed. When I was all settled in bed, I started to feel pressure on my head and I tried to pick my hands up to feel my head to see if something was sitting on me or something, but my hands were really really heavy and I couldn't lift them. At this point I was gradually waking up outside of my dream, and my head still had the pressure feeling. I looked at my hands and they were stiff kind of.. It was weird.. I think I'm just getting a slight headache, but that dream was really weird, and kind of scary..

Another weird thing is that about a half-hour after I woke up, my dog came into the bedroom and started yipping at me because he wanted something, but I didn't know what he wanted.. It eerily reminded me of my dream.

Dog

• To see a dog in your dream, symbolizes intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection, and fidelity. The dream suggests that your strong values and good intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and bring you success. The dream dog may also represent someone in your life who exhibits these qualities. Alternatively, to see a dog in your dream, indicates a skill that you may have ignored or forgotten. To hear barking in your dream, suggests that you are annoying those around you with grumpiness and fussiness. The dream may also be analogous to your tendency of barking orders at people, instead of asking or talking kindly. Alternatively, barking refers to unhappy and disgruntled companions. To dream that a dog bites you on the leg, suggests that you have lost your ability to balance aspects of your life. You may be hesitant in approaching a new situation or have no desire to move forward with your goals. Alternatively, it symbolizes disloyalty.

• Pulling

• To dream that you are pulling something, refers to your burdens and struggles. You have difficulties accomplishing your tasks and goals. You need to unload and/or let go some of your responsibilities. Perhaps it is a relationship that you need to let go of. Consider also what or who you are pulling. Alternatively, the dream may be a pun on your "pull" or influence for some favor or decision.

• Hair

• To see hair in your dream, signifies sexual virility, seduction, sensuality, vanity, and health. It is indicative of your attitudes.

Bed

• To see your bed in your dream, represents your intimate self and discovery of your sexuality. If you are sleeping in your own bed, then it denotes security and restoration of your mind. You may be looking for domestic bliss, for peace or for some form of escape.

Pressure

• To dream of pressure, symbolizes stress and tension in your life. You are feeling overwhelmed, overworked, or overloaded. The dream may be telling you to take it easy. Relax.

Heavy

• To dream that something is too heavy, symbolizes your burdens, work load and responsibilities. You are carrying too much on your shoulders and need to prioritize. Take a break and lighten up.

• Arm

• To see your arms as the emphasis in your dream, indicate your nurturance side and your ability to reach out and care for people. Alternatively, it may represent the struggles and challenges in your life. Consider the pun "arm yourself" which implies that you need to protect yourself, be more aggressive and take a firmer stance on things or the pun "up in arms", representing anger and your readiness to argue.
