I've written part of the experience into the last two chapters of my book but even they don't do justice to the intensity of the situation.<BR/><BR/>One of the things I experienced though was an intense and overwhelming joy which I have never known before or since. To this extent I don't really have a fear of death; judgement though may be a different matter.<BR/><BR/>Your dreams are equaling interesting Mr I!!Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679828344172201214.post-48041604568669592522008-04-26T11:10:00.000-07:002008-04-26T11:10:00.000-07:00Okay Miss Jane.

(Unfortunately, no chance of that..bag of fat though sounds a little more realistic.)<BR/><BR/>Do you know it was a very strange experience which I've never forgotten... I had another different one when I was most definately awake the night before my father died but that's a much longer story..<BR/><BR/>You know it's easy for folks to get confused as they get older; I get confused all the time but you know what?

I didn't have any for a long time, but lately I have been dreaming about large buildings with many rooms in them, and me exploring the rooms and their contents.Tamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718597223043391398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679828344172201214.post-28370911300843784792008-04-21T12:49:00.000-07:002008-04-21T12:49:00.000-07:00I've tried to do the eye trick awake since I was a...I've tried to do the eye trick awake since I was about 6 or so, still can't do it unless asleep - grrrrr ... ;( Sheesh, would I have list ....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679828344172201214.post-65672416754099619912008-04-20T23:50:00.000-07:002008-04-20T23:50:00.000-07:00Miss Jane,Perhaps there was a bit of confusion on ...Miss Jane,<BR/><BR/>Perhaps there was a bit of confusion on my part.

Thanks for the complimentary reply. I'm in love with the ocean. Especially the South Pacific. So I agree, 7 times isn't enough. You'll have to make time for more. It's nice that you're checked out to dive when you're there. So many beautiful sights to see underwater. I also love the Eye trick. Is that something you can teach me? I'm sure it would come in handy in my travels. Maybe you're part Jeannie.

I don't like to ...I have the same wake-up routine. I don't like to move until I've replayed whatever can be remembered. Dreams can have significant value. <BR/><BR/>Two nights ago, the main event was an indoor climb with my youngest son (ten-years old today). In the dream I helped him climb 23 stories, touch the stuccoed ceiling (him with his hand and me with my head), gazing in wonder at the distant lights below. A couple more dreams followed, but that moment of helping my son reach "the peak" is the one that has lingered in my thoughts. <BR/><BR/>Last week I dreamed about some keys that had been missing for over a week. When I told Matt about the dream, he ran and found the keys in the exact place I'd dreamed they were!<BR/><BR/>I worried a lot about the ethics of using my dreams as story ideas for creative writing assignments in elementary school. Now, I just enjoy them as "vacations" and inspirations...Heather Dugan Creative / Footstepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092780116822736321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679828344172201214.post-16172330095261545872008-04-19T13:41:00.000-07:002008-04-19T13:41:00.000-07:00Ohhhh MR I!!!!!

Why Mr I you've had me all of a quiver; are you sure you are not confusing 3 & 4??!<BR/><BR/>Now I have to admit I've not played too much golf, except the occasional pitch and putt. However, I am famed for my ball control which is without equal in the Home Counties. I'm dab hand at tennis too and have a particularly deep forehand with some heavy top spin. My lob needs a bit of practice though; it's needs to be a bit deeper if I'm to take advantage of a loose ball.<BR/><BR/>Dreams eh Mr I? I dream all the time (even when I'm awake, which as you can imagine is a bit of a problem! But sort of explains my rather crazy ways...) I have the anxiety ones... same scenario really; waking up believing I have an exam which I haven't prepared for.( It may come as a surprise but I wasn't exactly diligent, I preferred to "wing it".)<BR/><BR/>I'm not talking about my other dreams Mr I; why I might possibly give you the wrong impression!!!<BR/><BR/>... Except of course the incontinence dream...you must have had that one? Surely???<BR/><BR/>Oh well I let you in one strange event..not sure if it was a real dream or not... I was about 20 ( so that's prewar then)and remember sitting bolt upright in my bed one night and just for one tiny, mind blowing second understanding the universe and then it was gone....<BR/>and I can't remember it.. but just know that it happened...<BR/><BR/>Hmm, probably said more than I should have then. Ah well, that's me. <BR/><BR/>Now, please don't tell me you are secretly George Bush because I like thinking he's stupid.. us Brits love a joke or two!Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3679828344172201214.post-24766308228233018312008-04-19T07:44:00.000-07:002008-04-19T07:44:00.000-07:00What a great post! I love talking about dreams! ...What a great post! I love talking about dreams! And, you said it so well - they are cinematic. Your 2nd scenario regarding the room with the light and illuminating the earth - damn - that could be kick-ass indie art film - same thing with your recent dream about the diamonds. Excellent interpretation. You do seem like the type of person that would help a stranger without thinking twice.<BR/><BR/>I have places that I go back to in my dreams as well. My anxiety dreams mostly involve traveling. And, I'm either missing the plane, or, I have arrived at the hotel, but for some reason or another, I can't get to the ocean before I have to leave. I've only been in an ocean or the Med. Sea. 7 times in my life. Not nearly enough. especially since I got my SCUBA diving certification last year.<BR/><BR/>Also, I watch too much news. Cspan, MSNBC or CNN is on all day in the background while I'm working. If it was a heavy news day due to these corporate wars, it will sometimes carry over into my dreams.<BR/><BR/>The worst recurring dream I've had since I was a girl is that my teeth are falling out, my mouth is full of blood, and no one helps me to the hospital. Some even laugh.<BR/><BR/>The best recurring dream I have is that I can move things with my eyes. I am able to help people I love by this power and able to scare the heck out of my enemies. It's a nice gift ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
