Clairity .. "Dreams are My Heart's True Song"

[Burns]

Caradon, your posting about attic dreams just reminded me of another attic dream I had that I posted on the DV forum on 5/10/05 but neglected to put in my DJ.  Here it is:

You have the most interesting and meaningful dreams. Do you have any idea at all what would've prompted this dream? I'm glad that guy won't be hurting anyone else after you were through with him!

[Raklet]

Wow, thanks for sharing that dream.  It is so nice to read about how big your heart is and how much you love kids.

[Clairity]

Wow intense. I can just imagine what you must have done to that guy.

LOL!  And you'd be right!

I still don't know what prompted that dream.  I do like to think that perhaps on some other astral plane.. I spared a child (and possibly others) from being hurt by that monster.

Wow, thanks for sharing that dream.  It is so nice to read about how big your heart is and how much you love kids.

Thanks Raklet! 

I love the healing dream. So powerful. I want Clairity's healing! =)

If I could send you a healing I would!

I wish to start this entry by saying I had snippets of dreams on this morning due to the bad thunderstorms/tornadoes that were hitting in our area.  I will share only a couple of the most interesting dreams.

The Storm:

I am in my home when a tornado hits.  I feel the house start to physically sway with each breeze as though it's breathing in rhythm with the wind.

In an almost surreal fashion the entire house starts to slowly tilt to one side.  It reminds me of a fun house I visited once where the floor would tilt you to one side and then the other but this house never "righted" itself.

Small items and then furniture start to slide across the floor and I run to the stairs and grab the railing.

The house literally rolls on its side but thankfully it only rolls once.  I hear voices and see rescue workers breaking their way in and I suddenly think of my dogs in their kennels.  Dream ends..

The Robot Wife:

I find myself in this dream and I am married but I know somehow that I am an android/robot wife.  I can softly hear gears when I walk and I can hear a quiet motor hum as I breathe.

A friend of my husband's shows up needing to be driven to Drake University (?).  We all get in the car and I'm driving.. yet I have no idea where to go. 

I think to myself how strange it is that I'm driving when I'm lousy at directions and I never drive anyone around except for my son when he was too young to drive himself.  This thought should have triggered me that I was dreaming but then I realized that I was doing "ok" driving and I released the thought.

I stop the car and find that we are now in a huge covered futuristic city-like structure.  There are different university signs at different ends of the streets/corridors but no "Drake University".

We stop a young man and ask were "Drake University" might be.  He says, "This is Quad 4.. you need Quad 44 but they don't allow people like him on the train".

I look over at who he was referring to and discover that the man that we were helping is now a crippled child.

The 3 of us head over to the escalator leading to the train to Quad 44.

My husband and the boy get on and a metal cap from his chair falls clanging slightly on the floor.

I stop and reach for it and when I straighten back up I have tears in my eyes and I feel them start to run down my face.

A woman who I sense is also the mother of a crippled/not perfect child holds out her hand to me helping me on the escalator.

An overwhelming sadness fills the air and a hauntingly beautiful song can be heard.  I can still hear it in my head as I wake up and I can still hear it even now as I write this.

I wrote down the simple but meaningful lyrics:

"I'm just like a Shriner who doesn't own a jacket.. all I have is just a name.."

SIDE NOTE:  Once I thought about this dream after awakening.. it occured to me that the reason it was so sad towards the end was because, in this dream.. even in the future.. it will still be the haves vs the have nots.. the whole vs the harmed.

[Robot_Butler]

That sounds intense.  Do you think the child appeared because you were thinking of helping your son?  Your son depended on you to drive him around, and now this child depends on you for a lot more? 

And you could hear your machine body working as a robot.  Like the sound constantly reminds you of your inner workings.  You can never escape that self reflection.  What an ironic dream since you are using your dreams to help better understand yourself.

[Clairity]

Wow RB.. I hadn't thought about any of that.  My son isn't handicapped but maybe my thoughts of driving him around earlier in the dream did somehow make the handicapped child appear.  And the robotic sounds reminding me of my inner workings.. great insight! Thanks!

[Moonbeam]

Did you hear the storm, is that what made you dream of the tornado? 

[Clairity]

Yes, the thunder/hail kept waking me up and I didn't really sleep deeply at all that night/morning.

[Moonbeam]

That sounded like a storm-induced dream.  Glad it didn't get any worse where you were, or as bad as it did in the dream.

[Clairity]

Glad it didn't get any worse where you were, or as bad as it did in the dream.

Me too! 

[Caradon]

Oh you had tornado's in your area. Scary, I'm glad your OK! there were storms here too. The sirens were on the other day, I had to do reality checks because I've been trying to incubate tornado dreams. And the last two tornado dreams I had started with the storm sirens.

Looked like you were almost Lucid there. I bet your dry spell will be over soon. I can't wait to read your next Lucid.

[Clairity]

I can't wait to read your next Lucid.

Thanks and I can't wait either!

I decided to put a link to my dreams before my joining MM for myself and for anyone else who may be  interested:

Didn't you have a Lucid recently? I saw your name in yellow On DV, but didn't find the dream in your journal there or here.
Though I have not looked at the Lucid Task thread.

Well congratulations on ending your dry spell if you did!

Yep, I did do the April lucid task of the month and documented it in the lucid task thread but it was hardly noteworthy.

Thanks for noticing though! 

Below is the dream:

I did the basic task of the month this morning (i.e., take a look in your closet and report what you find).. and I have to say it was one of the most BORING LDs I've ever had!

I got up at 3:15 am, went to my living room couch to WILD and after about 45 minutes or so, I felt my consciousness "shift" and I was lucid.

I was in my living room so I walked downstairs and opened the door that led to the closet beneath the stairs not having any expectations on what I would find there. To my utter disappointment, it looked just like it did in real life, some jackets hanging, boxes on the floor and a vacuum.

I didn't even bother to wake up to write it down instead letting myself drift off into multiple non-lucid dreams but at least it was the end of my dry spell and the completion of the basic task.
