Of dreams and dragons
I had an account on an online dream journal once, but like to keep my websites down to a minimum because the internet tends to get overwhelming and nobody read it anyway.
But anyway, I had an interesting dream last night. It had multiple layers, like the movie Inception, only the deepest layer was sort of lucid, I think the term is. I remember walking in a thickish wood, perhaps on the hill by the stream I used to live by that also haunts my dreams. It was here that I had realized I was dreaming, but unaware it was a dream within a dream. I was fighting waking up, because I wanted to see what was deeper in the woods. As I journeyed deeper, the woods became darker, but there was still plenty of sunlight. The trees however, were old and dry here, with light grey bark and lichen, and had twisting, gnarled branches and the ground was very mossy. After a few paces into the darkness, I was blinded by a brilliant white light, that overwhelmed my senses for a moment, and shrunk into a small orb. At this point I "woke up" into the shallower level, where I was in bed, and had a few more dreams after that. The only thing I remember then is one of them had the pokemon dragonair in it.
I was never a huge fan of the Pokemon games, taking animals from the wild and making them fight isn't really my speed, and I've collected less than a half dozen cards of some of my favorites. (One was given away free when I saw one of the movies.) But I admit I have developed a sort of crush on the weather changing sea serpent this week. With the realization, or rather acceptance of it today, she has sort of reminded myself of my own sea dragon-ness. I don't normally like talking about my spirituality, because it sounds crazy, but I came to work today feeling very refreshed and energetic, with a boost of self confidence. Alas, the high had waned by now, but I was expecting it. I don't think I'm too fit for life on land and this job especially, but hopefully this summer, my sails may be glimpsed from a few beaches within my reach. :3
