Weird Dreams
I keep having these really strange lucid dreams in which I am still at work leading people through the cave. In the dream, I know that its not real -- and infact, I'm usually awake and stumbling around my room, but in my dream state the furniture and walls are all transformed into limestone and nailhead crystals. I know that I am in my room, but I can't make my mind actually see the furniture as it is -- and the visitors in my dream think me mad when I tell them that their just illusions in my dream and that they aren't in the cave at all --
In my last dream, I decide to take the visitors through the tour backwards. Starting at the lower entrance to the cave I lead them through each of the passageways giving my entire tour in reverse. As I enter Rum Runner's Lane I find a strange doorway -- unlike the other passageways, this passage is perfectly rectangular and it has a large rectangular crystal "door" that could be slid over the passage to block it off. For a moment in the dream, I glimpse that this is actually my closet it door that I'm standing in front of -- but then it immediately goes back to the dreamscape.
Realizing that I'm in a dream, I turn to the visitors that have so far followed me through the tour and yell at them -- "your not real, your just disillusions. Now go away. I banish you from my dream, now I'm going back to sleep and I'm going to dream of something else." I curl up on a limestone shelf (which is actually my bed) and try to go to sleep. The visitors stand around and look at me like I'm nuts.
I fall back asleep again. And repeat this entire dream a second time. Again, I lead them backwards through the cave until I reach the square door. Again, I realize that it is but my closet and that I've come back through the dream a second time -- "I told you to leave me a lone," I tell the visitors. They stare silently at me in the darkness, but will not leave me be. Again, I lay down on the limestone shelf and try to will them away, this time they won't disappear, and I start to wonder if this really is a dream after all --
