   Hello all,   
      
   I just thought I'd share this wonderful dream I just had.  It all   
   started when I had to throw a cat out of my girlfriend and I's room   
   because it likes to get up right at my head and needle on my pillow   
   (the pillow's very soft).  As a result, it was hard for me to get back   
   to sleep as it always is.  I was more successful than usual, however,   
   because I had been reading Regardie's "The Middle Pillar" before   
   bedtime, and in the back Chic Cicero had put in some various   
   exercises, like simple relaxation.  I did one of the simple   
   progressive relaxation exercises instead of taking diphenhydramine   
   which I often do, and I think the result was a wonderful lucid dream!   
      
   The first parts of it seemed to go on and on - it was like an eternity   
   in there, and I can't remember the exact details.  Seems like I was   
   walking through an empty building at one point and I was just   
   marvelling at the fact that I had been able to achieve lucidity again   
   while I looked around and touched everything.  Then it seems like I   
   got sexual with some female dressed in an old medieval-like gown (the   
   ones with trusses in the back).  Come to think of it, a lot of my   
   lucid dreams turn sexual at one point or another...  All this time I   
   was worried that I was going to miss work because the sense of time   
   was so expanded!   
      
   Finally, here's the good part.  I remember seeing my feet planted   
   firmly on the grass in some field and then looking up at a blue sky   
   with a few wispy clouds.  I then jumped up into the sky and began   
   flying over the nearby hill.  Over that hill, it was like a beach   
   front.  I flew over people who were lying by themselves in shallow   
   pools of water which were almost more like a goo.  As I looked at   
   them, I was telling myself "These people are trapped like that because   
   their emotions have trapped them..."  As I flew on, I came upon an   
   absolutely beautiful vista of crystal clear waters and small shallow   
   caves cut out of rocks which jutted out of the water.  Many gorgeous   
   beings were gracefully floating and flying around this area, as was I.   
   I was overwhelmed with happiness at just being in this place,   
   especially conscious.  I levitated over to one of the cave openings   
   and asked one of the beings, a tanned white male with some sort of   
   orange tattoo on his left shoulder, where I was.  He did not answer   
   this, but did reply very distinctly "I'm Stanley Everett...  In   
   Oregon."  I just did an email search for that name, and there does   
   appear to be a Stan Everett in Georgia, but I hesitate to email   
   anyone, after thinking about it, to tell them that I had a dream about   
   them.  I don't know...  Maybe I should anyway.   
      
   I couldn't help but think of the movie "What Dreams May Come" and the   
   scenes they used to depict the Heaven worlds.  When I saw the movie   
   years ago for the first time, I remember telling someone that I had   
   seen that place before in dreams.  Indeed, this is not the first time   
   I have been to this place.  I think that there is some "objective"   
   reality to the place from the things I've read and other people's   
   experiences that I've listened to.  Have any of you seen any places   
   like this in the dream lands?  It was absolutely gorgeous!
