Dream Journal

Dream Journal – I thought some of my readers might enjoy a peek into my unconscious mind. I’m currently trying to determine the best way to do this. I wake up in the middle of the night, and make notes as quickly as possible, before the details slip away. I’m usually only half awake and hoping to return to slumber. This results in a kind of messy, stream of consciousness story or collection of images. I’m trying to decide whether to post them this way – raw, just as they came to me, or as cleaned up as I can make them. If you have a preference, drop me a note in the comments.

Nightmare: (no editing)
Ended up a company wide meeting in only my nightclothes and no one would explain why we were there or when we told about it
No one would listen to me
No one seemed disturbed I was only in my nightclothes
People seemed to be trying to get me fired
( or arrested when they passed me a joint and seemed to be trying to draw attention to me instead of helping me hide)

Dream - Some kind of weird trip with  huge group: (no editing)
Staying in hotels with huge rooms that held several beds 
Before we got there, driver had a puppy, too small to be alone, being attacked by octopi crawling up his leg, asked to take it with me driver said he didn’t trust me 
Asked for puppy to visit my house explained fully fenced back yard someone said no, I was bummed 
Then was in a crowded room hard to get through 
Someone saved bed for us at last stop
