Freeday mornin’ post
and NOTHING of importance,,,
I’ve mentioned here that I like to ‘come to slowly, sneaking a peek at what the SubC is doing’, Well, there’s a term for that; Lucid Dreaming. I ain’t gonna go into all the hoopla about how its this great and wonderful thing in a New Agey kind of way, like I discovered on the nets, This is something I have been doing since I was a kid, but later in life realized that I was actually watching the inner workings of my mind. And its not accurate by anymeans,,, The SubC works in symbols, and with symbols, you have to know the underlying meaning or the message is gobbledigook. Someone wearing a redshirt may have the implications of StarTrek, or it may just be danged redshirt,,,
This mornings dream,,, straight out of my deeper core, and strangely enough, not ‘Wyrd’, but quiet, almost sedate, and there were even words exchanged in a pleasant way,,,
Without delving too much into the details of the dream and revealing FAR TOO much about me and things I am not comfortable sharing to great wide world, I think my rational brain has been making some inroads to the feeling brain, and feeling brain is accepting that a different path is needed.
I won’t share the details of the dream, but I can share this, since in a way, I already have. The dream was one where I made a leap of faith and made the approach to a member of the gentler sex, one that normally I wouldn’t consider ‘for reasons’,,,, And as I came to, I realized how comfortable I was with the whole idea where 6 months ago, a year ago, I would have been acringe with loathing,,,, I know this because I had and WAS IRL when similar came to my personal world line Those things that made me cringe then, aren’t as big a deal today.
TLDR, I’m growing up,,,, LOL
And I realized we are all OPEN BOOKS to those around us, no matter how we try to disguise our ‘base’ drives.
In the dream, MY persona was brought to the fore and while I was NOT controlling it, I was in FPV and the words were mine, that I have used when discussing things with others on other matters.
Did that make any sense? I know what I am saying, just not sure I am relating it correctly.
That whole open book thing, we think one thing, act another, and everyone sees the real you,,,,,
Kinda like whats going on in the world stage with Leaders Pretend, don’t you think. The ones that have the best intentions for THEIR people are being vilified and ostracized by other groups who claim holy writ in their actions, but their actions are completely at odds with their words,,,, May be that example is at the extreme end of the spectrum my dream showed me, but it’s still there.
Ok, needs more coffee in my bloodstream,,, and the day is just starting to show over the eastern Ridgeline,,,,,
more later (with another from the same album,,, listen to the words,,,,
Dio's Workshop 
I have had a precious FEW *semi*-lucid dreams. Really, if I realize it IS a dream, I wake up. What scares me, just a bit, are the *rare* (but obvious in RETROSPECT!) semi/quasi clairvoyant dreams. I make no claims to REAL predictions, mind, but some coincidences coincide too close for comfort.
Several months ago I had a dream that $HOUSEMATE woke me to tell me $COWORKER had killed himself. Some time (month? two?) that co-worker’s brother killed himself… (I had NOT related this to said co-worker).
And way back when, I a weird dream where I was driving a pickup ‘orbiting’ Jupiter and things.. went wrong. The Galileo probe was to orbit Jupiter and at that time, was to be launched by a ‘space truck’ called the Shuttle. A few days later… Challenger blew to pieces.\
Even IF I could have figured things out in advance, there was NOTHING that I could have done to prevent things. BUT..it sure weirds me out. I just hope I do not appear in one of my neighbor’s dreams… she’s worried as EVERY time she has a dream of anyone she knows… the person dreamed dies soon after.
Do I know what is going on? NOPE! But I can see there is more to the World than is currently considered.. normal, predictable, duplicable. This is NOT comforting.
And it’s **CONFUSING**. Are my dreams random nonsense (almost all, if not all) or a Dire Warning (precious few, if any).

It took awhile to learn how to be the passive observer during those times, and there are times where I find I am the influencer as well, and those are the times where I just say F it! and wake up….
All of this started after a series of Night Terrors I had at a very early stage, around 8 or so. My sis could tell you some stories from that time. I don’t recall all the details of that time, but sleep therapy opened the doors to lucid dreaming and, well, here I am.

I’ve had one or two “lucid dreams” but they were of the sort “If X happens, this must just be a dream.” $X happens.. WAKE. Or, an musing set… I had to cross a footbridge, but so many parts were missing.. so.. I simply LOOKED UP rather than at the walkway.. and crossed DESPITE the lack of support.. in perfect Cartoon Logic…(So, yes, I *AM* a “Looney Tune that slipped off the celluloid”) and another where I was swimming in a lake (in a river..) and was swimming TOWARD an obvious falls… I muttered to myself, “I am NOT this stupid” and woke up.

In those dreams, you were influencing. As for the one swimming into the falls, Good choice. Some say that we CAN kill ourselves in our dreams, (like for really real KILL) and I have no desire to put that theory to the test,,,,

“and it’s **CONFUSING**,,,,”
The sub C is NOT rational,,, until you learn its ‘patterns’ things will be confusing, Think of it like watching a Woody Allen Film festival, things are ‘off’ but in the end, you figure out what he meant, and it wasn’t what was being ‘told’,,,, Just sit back, observe, and think about it later (and your sub C will still be there below the surface to fill in the blanks,,,)
