Share Your Dreams....

HI! and smiles to you... This is Amaterasu:) I'm rather
new to the board learning new names and events...
It's good to see so many creative minds all flowing
together like a river out into the vast ocean of our souls
yet to make it complete I'd like to suggest a thread
in honor of all our DREAMS....
Dreams are a big part of who we are
they're our night vision leading us through
the dark into the light of day- they actually
prepare us for our day while we sleep. Basically they
are a map of our soul guiding us on our daily quest.
I've always been a fan of this- for many years I've kept
journals upon journals of my evening experiences, learning
more about life just by what I create through what I see
while in the other world.
We all know how dreams can effect us, inspire us, quide us
and even change us if we follow our hearts.
Sometimes we struggle to remember them, that little
piece that was so important, wants us to find it.
The more you are in contact with your dreams
the the better you become
at understanding them and remembering them.
Dreams are a fanstatic tool in life. Remember Daniel
from the bible? He was a dreamer chosen by God to serve
and protect his king before events actually took place with his profetic sight.

Just an idea thought you might like: Share any kind of dream
good, happy, wacky, funny, emotional, enlightening,
something that made you remember it and say; "I had this dream!"
Dreams are a gift, they can teach you alot about
yourself. :)

Get back to me tell me how you feel about it and we'll start
from there~ * Sweet Dreams *

  • my dream....well its more than a dream its my only reason for living, to be a musiction and make this band of mine work and make it.
  • Haha, that's a good dream. I would like to own a kick ass music store and spend the rest of my days surrounded by music. I could also see myself working in a recording studio.
    "Standing above the crowd,
    He had a voice so strong and loud and I
    Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
    Eager to identify with
    Someone above the ground,
    Someone who seemed to feel the same,
    Someone prepared to lead the way, with
    Someone who would die for me."

  • "I had a dream lastnight; cause she looked just like a dream."
    .when god lets my body be
    ..from each brave eye will spring a
    tree
    .all the while my heart shall be
    ..with the buldge and nuzzle of the
    sea
  • to be successful as a musician, even if i sell only a hundred cd's (or 45's), just so i can quit this god awful job.

    if you are talking about an actual dream, they usually involve falling, being chased or spiders.
    wait, those are nightmares....
    once dissolved we are free to grow...
  • I haven't forgotten, just nixing everything I seem to
    do today! Thank you for posting, I'm glad to see you
    did, I had some things to tell you but I'm so tired and
    so afraid I'll lose again this thread that I'll inform just
    that at another time I shall return to share, for now
    though, keep on sharing and dream'n.
    Lastnight I dreamed this:
    Warriors clad in leather on steeds in the firery hillside
    night.
    Water pails.
    Turtles...
    I'll explain later. :)

    Oh:
    7- You can do it! The 3 add on to the 7 take away the sin.
    Tool708- Follow your heart
    Chewmauro :):):)
    NFMessiah- You are a sucess! Just follow through.
    And yes, I'm talking about actual, factual sleep activity.
    Rem state. About spiders...Good motherly protection.
    I think of Charlotte, all spiders to me are Charlotte.;)
    Falling with learned practice can become flying.
  • wow, i never thought of that.
    i'm afraid of spiders, because charlotte's web makes me sad...

    can't remember what i dreamt last night, i think it was work.
    once dissolved we are free to grow...
  • Last night I dreamed of a friend that I've lost closeness with. I dreamed that he was standing in front of me and we hugged each other. I slid my hands inside his shirt and around his waist so I could feel the skin on his back when we hugged. I miss him more than he'll ever realize.
    "You think I got my eyes closed but I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..."
  • If dreams are secret desires that our hearts make, why am I always going to the shops in my dreams. Appart for that my heart held dream would be to own my own book shop, where I could have a reading corner for the kids and listen to my music all day. Then again, the dump I live in someone would probably burn it to the ground!
    God loves you my son, the rest of us think your an arsehole.

    I like and dislike at the same time....

    In it our world has survived a massive war. A holocaust of nuclear epoch proportions.
    The remnants of the human race live in pockets of the ruins of the major metropolitan areas and most are being rebuilt. Things like shopping malls are redone to allow people to officially live where they work and there are multiple apartments throughout the mall. I always have a favorite place to look out at the city and the sunset on the bay is intense. I cannot remember if this is colorado for, if this IS colorado then the great central US earthquake has happened and Denver has become a seaport. I sit in the ruins of a large skyscraper, a place of residence for those that society has cast off or those who do not have the means to live or work in the inner city. The view is always a sight to see. The malls are extraordinary creatures and, in one of them, I have run into the Black Man as head of security. his name tag even calls him "Black Man" which I find fairly interesting... But people spend their lives in these great constructs that are just massive microcosms of what used to be the grandiosity of human civilization. They live and love and play and die, many of them never seeing the sky at all. They have their station in life, their part upon the wheel and they do not deviate either for lack of imagination or for the fear of the unknown... I never know. And I almost always meet someone new in my dream as if I have invited them in to see my vision of the apocalypse and to see if they agree with the flavor or with the taste... or maybe it's like they have woken up to what we really are and how dirty and gritty human life and culture really is... but when I take them up to that skyscraper and they view out upon the city sky and the bay in the distance, the silhouettes of girders and plaster and the remnants of artwork in the breeze... i think they come to an understanding. there is love there, as well, as there is your words. We appear to be connected more by something other than many people would suspect. i would that it would be my charge to learn, ascertain and understand this knowledge either for myself or for the betterment of others. It is too easy for me to fall in love.
    but it is a dream that I love because it is so BIG... so huge. it has room for us all... Oh it is a whole world….
    i sense it every time: the sunsets are fire, shifts of orange and red... brown... the clouds are always orange as if the sky were no longer blue and the boats in the bay cut lines across a fairly calm sea.
    an angry sky?
    I would say not. the birds are allowed flight and we are allowed to look upon it... And in my mind the sky is a place of silence. As if it waits upon the next beat.
    so I say a sky of silence and provocation.
    it senses thought and bends with it as if it were a reed in the wind.
    I'm stepping in front of the gushing hydrant in a hurricane. I'd like to see the traction I keep.
  • What beautiful and elegant dreams my little poppies!!
    Really good!
    NFMessiah- Yeah, but don't be afraid! Forget the sorrow
    remember her indespensible friendship...:)
    Keep working.

    Ayedavanita- My favorite little touring song, it's got
    that touring somethings happening vibe. HI!:)
    Good sign he was there for you! (Interesting, this
    happened to me too 2 nights ago!) Anyway... It's
    positive nonetheless to say you haven't really lost
    him. Love speaks in volumes! You know I've had
    those wonderous moment dreams also and they are
    so powerful! because they are so healing!! Supplying
    us with just the reassurance we need. I'm sure he feels
    the same for you.

    Muttely_Yes- DONT EVER GIVE YOUR DREAMS!!
    Don't you dare- we need you! Mentally remove the
    'dump' replace it with your book shop- get to work.

    Seta:) I'm out of thread, and I'm exhausted, I will continue
    after I get some zzzz's. Take care. Goodnight or morning. egh
  • I would collect every song Pearl Jam ever wrote and sang, buy a fatass stereo system, and move to the carribean. i would live on my own island. anyone could visit as long as they brought a large amount of pinacalladas. oh,. and i would jam with PJ every night. with lotsa girls too. oh yeah.

    but really i just want to move to a quiet island and barely make $$$ to live off of. that would rock.

    I've got this song for you, you've got to locate! It's a must!
    It's a recent Peter Gabriel CD release titled 'UP'
    the song: 'Sky Blue.' Just listen.
    Orange sky-Entertainment. Your dreams are so simple,
    direct and concrete! Communication is easy for you huh?
    Who are you in the dream? What is your role?
    I see your sense of humor shines back at you...
    "Black Guy" :) It's alright to fall in love.
    I love the dream too!

    Bushleauger- :) Indeed a dream to lull your fantasies.

    Amaterasu... I have UP. Great album. Peter Gabriel is one of today's great songwriters.

    However, I don't see that dream as being simple, direct, or concrete. In fact the environment changes enough that my thoughts upon it change constantly, this is why there are no direct opinions up there. Think about the size of it, and the amount of detail involved. I could go into the bricks on a building, or the amount of windows on a skyscraper or exactly how the girders jut out into the night sky. That's detail. I can tell you what people are off doing in the background, even if they're out of focus and have no effect on the dream itself.

    Black Guy... it would be good for you to have some history on the Black Guy. And he has nothing to do with love, trust me. He is an errant soul that has both plagued and haunted me since I was 2 years old. he is a shadow that has been in both my waking and my dreaming. I have felt his touch, back in high school, it was cold and forceful and he wasn't very nice about having me around. I believe him to be a very dominating spirit who doesn't know when to quit, and he has followed me since I was a child. This is actually one of only three occurrences where he has appeared in a dream of mine, and is the only time I have ever seen his face in a dream. His name tag says it all. He was trying to instill fear and control over my dreaming environment, which I challenge anyone to do as I am a lucid dreamer and I'm not sure that Freddy Kreuger would survive a showdown, though I would love the challenge.

    The orange sky in this dream has nothing to do with entertainment either. It is a need to purify or a purification underway. This dream is about a world that has had to start over. Keep in mind that I think in stories as much as I talk and act in metaphor. That is how I dream. I guess you could say that my words are just natural extensions off of that ideology. The nuclear holocaust has happened, and it would surprise me if the sunsets weren't heavily colored afterwards due to the heavy dust and debris in the air. Remember when Mt St. Helens erupted? The ash circled the globe... causing some of the most incredible sunsets ever; same with the Yellowstone fires.

    I don't know. I take a very hard look at my dreams and am often surprised at what I pull away from them. Sometimes the meaning is as clear as day, others hidden, something to find when I am ready to find it. This dream falls into what I call the "prophetic" category, if only because it takes place in the future. I have no doubt that it probably has nothing to do with our future in and of itself, but I have every reason to believe it has plenty to do with my future.

  • I had one that i keep thinking of...
    I was sleeping in my bed and a close friend came to my sliding door. I was so glad to see them and they asked me to come with them. I couldn't go with them for some reason but i invited them in to eat dinner and stay with me. They reluctently? said that it wasn't possible and said they would wait for me. So oddly they retrieved a metal folding chair and sat - said that they were waiting for me to come out as long as it tookme. So I went out and met my friend and weirdly there was a shallow stream in my backyard and it was lightly raining. My friend did not wanto come in because they were muddy,and so was i. So at this point i stayed and rapped with them. I finally convinced them to come in a wash up before leaving and then it was over. Nerver to be the same again...

    I could keep going with so many, but gotta go now...
    THanks Am.

    Time2Escape- :) THATS a good dream! Wouldn't it be good
    to be in your shoes if it does come true?
    *************************************************
    It began at night somewhere, I was alone just at the break
    of sunset, the last of the remaining light exploding vivid color
    through the sky. The parking lot seemed full of activity, an ex-
    sepensive car was waiting for me, it was my people waiting for me.
    I walked cautiously over the brown car where inside 3 young
    men sat discussing business among themselves wondering
    where I had been but what did it really matter- I was there
    now. I got in the car happy to see someone who had an in-
    terest but oblivious at all that I had to be there and this was
    a moment of business. An agreed exchange was made and I
    soon was driving in the lot with this crew of young men..
    The car was was speeding through the lot with only lstreet
    lights lamps on and other cars strewn about, " There's PINK, I bet thats PINK in front of us, hey, go see if...." I looked half interested at the little sports car with a lone driver before us, it could have been her, before I could care I just wanted to get out of the car.
    Noone was interested in anything but stars and money. Event-
    taully my associates let me out safely making sure I was alright
    as I was their responsibility I assured them I would be fine and
    went off in to the night. I went into the where a glass door let
    me in. Where was I? Halls empty but something going on further
    in. I proceded slowly in the lit place, I entered a room through
    a door, I felt the floor rise to meet me- silence. ' I should pray or
    say a prayer before I pass through, I know this, so why didn't
    I?' I told myself having not proven where I was but instinct proved
    ME right as I peered over to my right to see a wood cross im-
    mediately by my side. Holding the church door behind me as to not shut on me, I held myself in the threshold not sure what to think for oh my troubles with God.

    Continue on next thread...
  • The small chapel was empty only lights warmed the red
    carpet beneath my feet and glowed on the brass and empty
    chairs, as if I wanted anything, there would be no interup-
    tions, only privacy. Maybe another time the worlds on fire
    and something has to be done about it. Equal silence in
    response. Uh huh... I kept going, treading softly across the
    crimson carpet and holy air in on through the door opposite
    me and out into reality, the inner sanction of the rest of the
    building. Still quiet. Then guess who appears? Silly as ever
    to make me smile and question just what the heck he was
    doing. Mike from the band. He appeared to me on a stage
    with one lone light to light up his presence. Were we on a
    stage or just a dark church building hall? He came out as if
    at a show happy to be there arm raised in the air finger #1
    extended to heaven. With no shirt. I sort of turned my eyes
    away, sure I've seen guys without their shirts before but this
    was Mike and he looked better than he ever has. He looked
    great so I, not wanting to be a distraction myself, I remained
    myself to see where the dream would take me. It was mostly
    Mike dressing up as different people in silly costumes, almost
    extravagant ones and making me smile and others laugh.
    But it was all an odd wierd. Something just so dark. It was
    so dark everywhere, shadowy. Well as long as everyone is
    happy I can go do what I must, seeing Mike happy in the
    arms of an equally happy female, I parted to go still further in
    to the building. There were alot more dreams but this is plenty
    for now. Thank you Mike for letting me share this dream.:)
    TAA DAA!

  • Don't have the facts here, just a fuzzy rememberance of a dream i had in London back in 1993.

    I actually wrote it in my journal much later in 1999.

    *i dreamt a long haired man sits at a table in a shabby dive bar. his companion had on a uniform of some kind. things got pretty hairly when the long haired man spat on the bar teneder for insulting comment he made. the bar guy jumped over the bar, not the moon and

    knocked the long haired man to the floor and as you would guess a fight ensued. soon some mean police came, draqgging the long haired man out of the bar.

    I remember watching this dream from above me. I was not in it, i was observing it. Although i felt very present at the time. i felt an intense need to protect the long haired man. (maybe symbolically it was jesus or someone like him.)

    the next morning i awoke with some odd new sense of something. something to this day i cannot define. of course the "duo of dysfunction" my mother and grandmother, were not able to get to me that day after the dream.

    big odd sense of power!!


    *much later, i figured the guy must have been Ed Vedder, cause soon after that i began to listen to their music.
