Dreams are the key to understanding reality. The problem most people have is that they don't remember them.
Some think that dreams are a way to work through the issues of the day, but what happens after those issues have been resolved by the mind? What happens then?
If you ask me, there's a lot more we don't know about the dreamstate.
Take me for example. I experience deja vu, but the way I experience it, is that I recall from memory having been to a place I have never been to before. To be in a situation I have never been in and to remember that was there. I don't believe this is typical deja vu, because in the typical version the impression is that you feel like you've been there, but never have and no memory of why you think so. I know that I've dreamed my deja vu, and I live in trepidation that at some point the memories don't occur anymore.
Now, I have been able to observe a couple of things during sleep that I want to pass along, and then follow up with some dreams I have had lately. Maybe someone will happen upon this entry and provide a new insight.
First of all, let me say that I consider water to be the lubrication of the sleep state. If you wake up in the night and can't sleep, you should get up and get some water. Couldn't hurt.
Secondly, if you are consistently waken up at certain periods of time, there is a reason for it. By accident I have found out that soft foam earplugs are effective, meaning that by elimination that something/someone is audibly waking me up.
Third, the position that you sleep in, determines the mental aspect of the dream. I have determined that the degree of positioning to the side will affect the intensity whether the dream is negative (when I lay on my left side) or positive (when I lay on my right). Laying on one's back is difficult because it is not a natural sleeping position, but in terms of dreamstate, being flat on your back will give you the most informative dream and the most emotionally neutral. This is of course by observation and may differ by individual.
Now, I have had a couple of strange dreams in the past couple of weeks and I am presenting two of them for you now.
The first is this image of a really tall building. As you can see it's got a set of "fins" on the top. I didn't get the scale right, but it's mammoth in size. The road is very long and completely straight leading to some kind of entrance. I feel like this place is some kind of museum of sorts, but I don't know what kind of museum or what it's in reference to. The circle in the picture was my way of representing the people walking to and from the building. The road is not heavily populated, but then again, it's suspended in the sky. I want to say the main part of the building is clear like glass, but that's not necessarily correct.
This second image, I had last night. I did have time to put more information into what I saw, because it's quite unusual. I think that's the only reason I remember it. The sky was a dark gray color and almost ashy. The building looks a lot like someone's fern or houseplant in the picture, but you need to step back and imagine it as a solid mass in the center and black as can be.
It was not the only building that looked like that as there were others across the landscape. However, it was massive and it's NOT organic.
I haven't been wearing my earplugs for the past couple of nights and i've been waking up at 4:04 am. As a programmer and computer user, I find this both humorous and disturbing. (error 404?!?)
