      From: justisaur@yahoo.com              Two different dreams from different days. I didn't post "webs" as I       only remember a snippet, it must've been several weeks now.              "Webs"              I was walking into my house, I see a number of 'webs' for lack of a       better term. They are each about as thick as my forearm, they look to       be made of black licorice candy with a sort of splatter at each anchor       point, each is a single strand, not actually web shaped, they also have       an uneven shape as though they were made out of string cheese which had       been stretched far enough to start splitting, but then melted back into       a slightly blob like shape, or perhaps a bit like cave rocks. It's hard       to describe, but I could draw it easily enough.              Each is diagonal anchored on a wall and the floor or ceiling. There's       one anchored on the door frame and diagonally on the floor further into       the room, and a good number further in the house to make it appear webbed.              I'm moving into the house with some trepidation, and feeling anxious,       wondering what monster did this, or is it fungus, or some horrible       prank. I get the impression I'm 20's female of slight build and       bookish, perhaps wearing glasses (I'm not either) and crouched a bit,       and that my wife is besides and behind me.              There's some yellow flickering light, almost a miasma within the house       as though illuminated by candles or a fire. I also get the impression       there's police around and the outside is taped off.              At that point I wake.              I just remembered now I had moved up to the police and had had asked       "what's going on?" and they'd said something like "We're investigating       Ma'am." I said "That's my house!" in a loud but not yelling voice with       some frustration. I move past the police, who seem to be standing about       ineffectually, and brushed aside the tape - where the description began.                            "RC Car"              Once again at my kid's school. I park in the nearly full parking lot,       which is much larger than my kid's school. My wife is with me       semi-following to the right, a building on the left. We seem to be       trying to walk through the school, as if to get home (With the physical       configuration of the real school that wouldn't be possible, and it makes       no sense to park at the school to go home) and we're chit chatting       nothing of import about what I don't remember.              I find I'm driving an RC car a few feet in front of me. There's a bunch       of brown things on the sidewalk that I'm having trouble navigating the       car through. They look sort of like chunks of tire with the steel       threads in them other than being the color and size of wood chips.              I have a black remote control, the car appears to be made of a a number       of blocks of blue white and black, perhaps Legos with some curved pieces       on top to make it look more car like. It's about 5 or 6 inches wide. I       seem to be looking down on it from very high, perhaps I'm much taller       than normal.              I feel my wife move past me as I'm futzing around with trying to drive       the car through the chips, I look up after a few moments.              I look up and don't see my wife, I look around and see see an elderly       black man wearing a cloth fedora with a pattern that looks 40 years old,       yellow-beige with thin dashed lines of blue and red. He has white       stubble and a bit of white and is healthily thin. He's wearing slacks,       has dress shoes somewhat worn and a button up short sleeve shirt, also       with a dotted line pattern. His arms are draped on the bench he sits       on. He nods in the direction in which we were headed as if to say "over       there." I look over there, there's a shadowy figure on a side walk a       good couple hundred feet away. Thinking about him now still is giving       me the shivers.              He is in all black wearing a hat and trench coat of the kind an old 60's       cartoon spy might wear. He's a little thick around the middle. I can't       make out the face. His hands are in his pockets. His head is all fuzzy       as if made of shadow-stuff. He's pacing slowly back and forth. I want       to know what he's done with my wife. He stops to face in my direction,       but without apparent recognition.              I hop feet first in the pool to the right (no pool at my kid's school,       and I don't think had been there a moment ago) to escape his gaze.              The following is 10/10 clear as being awake:              I see myself from out of body a few feet away in the pool ramrod       straight fully submerged. I'm not myself though. I'm a thicker black       man, about mid way between line backer and tight end, of milk chocolate       complexion (I'm white) maybe in his 40s, with a widow's peak of tight       curls, floating up a bit in the back to make a sort of W. He has a short       mustache and roundish face, which reminds me a bit of an amalgam of Key       & Peel, and a hulking meathead of an old college friend I had a falling       out with. I'm wearing one of my favorite shirts, a short sleeve autumn       green with large boxes of dark blue dashed thread, and breast pockets.              The pool is well illuminated by the sun and clear, I see a few bubbles       around 'me'. I'm going through some strange expressions, concentrating       to look toward the shadowy man though still underwater Then shifting to       look back. I get the feeling of tightness in the chest from holding my       breath. I'm holding my arms straight against my body and my legs       straight out as if standing, but I'm obviously floating underwater a       half-foot at a slight angle. I'm not struggling.              I wake up.              Looking back on it the angle and the fact I was holding my arms and legs       like that was very odd, almost as if a force was keeping them there, but       I wasn't struggling and didn't feel any such force. It's very odd I was       able to keep underwater and somehow turn to look back without otherwise       moving, though I get the impression I was moving my hands like fins to       do so, only I moved as if turning around quickly out of the water.              I've never dreamt I was a black man that I can remember, nor so large as       that. Seeing myself from the outside clearly like that is very unusual       too. Usually when I see myself at all from the outside it's more like       an impression of a memory or just an awareness of what I look like and       very dreamlike.              Seeing myself as a woman isn't common, but has happened, usually it has       no real impact on the dream, perhaps on this occasion it is just       representing the vulnerability and trepidation I was feeling in the       dream. I might have even been my normal waking 'me' before I started to       enter the house.              I imagine the 'webs' dream was about the state of our house which I       haven't been able to do much about due to a variety of factors, and       which is constantly angering and stressing me out.              The only thing I have any idea about in the 'RC Car' is that I was rear              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
