@MeThisGuy:
No problem about the not feeling comfortable sharing “your” work, I respect your desire for privacy, no matter what your reason is Holy cow, though, UFO??! Wow! I wonder what it truly was. I guess we’ll all have to wonder forever *sigh* LOL A week or two ago there was a thunderstorm nearby and I kept seeing these colored lights rising up from the ground when there was lightning. The first time it happened I figured it was a power transformer blowing up or something, but then it happened several more times, and with different colors and longer duration so that I’m fairly convinced that’s not what it was at all. But like you, I’m left not knowing what it really was. Maybe UFO activity?? Who knows… All I know for sure is it was pretty cool to see! About your pretending you’re headed to the Statue everytime you go somewhere, that’s a really good idea, I’m going to try it, too. I never would have thought of that, but I think that might work as far as the mind getting used to “going there” all the time! Kudos on that one
No need to share anything of your own unless you want to, but just for kicks here are 2 of mine:
This first one I like to say is my favorite I’ve ever written:
Dandelion, with your color so bright,
your leafy fronds, and your princely height,
why do they call you a weed?
LOL
and this is the one that won that contest I was talking about, that I wrote when I was a little entranced.. maybe they just felt sorry for me for entering so many and had to give one of them a prize, but maybe not (and sorry it’s so long)
He turned his gaze,
and his thoughts all at once…
the warmth of home so inviting.
“What is out there?” she asked.
“Nothing, my love.
Nothing but the cool and empty stars
in the deep evening shade.
The stars that twinkle,
yet know not sound nor silence.”
“You saw not the stars,” she replied.
“You saw a loneliness, or perhaps a bustling.
Perhaps a sky full of movement, full
of dance. The colors so bright, but
so dazzlingly far away. So out of reach.
If you could have but touched them, only
once… I see it in your eyes.”
“Nay, my love. You saw not the shadow
of a dream laid upon my eyes. For I
saw naught but little lights.
Let us now away, to lie warm and safe
in each other’s arms. For the wind blows
cold outside, and each moment now ticks
softly away. Tomorrow will be another day,
and the stars shall not trouble you further.”
She lies next to him, sleeping, and he
thinks of how he loves her. Outside the
clouds have crept upon them, and a
snow begins to fall. There, she breathes,
and her hand laid bare upon the pillow.
To caress that hand, and he needs
nothing more. He kisses her mouth, so
softly, so gently. As a kiss from the snow,
reaching the rooftops. She smiles in her
sleep, and he knows that he loves her.
Dandelion, with your color so bright,
your leafy fronds, and your princely height,
why do they call you a weed?
haha good one!

I like that part the best
Dang…now I want to throw mine up here! I’ll get it up sometime but not till I get everything straightened out. In the mean time I suppose I could put up something of lesser value to me
I’ll put in a cutesy poem that reflects a real life situation I had a few years back with a girl lol…I don’t care much about those anymore hehe

I Tried to Kiss You
I stood in the door
while you stared at the floor
Both not knowing what to say
No games to play
I sat down on my bed
Both our faces turned red
I said the right things
But feeling your rejection stings
Your lips so juicy sweet
And I can’t help but feel the heat
I moved in for the kill
But you resisted still
There was no enjoyment
Just disappointment
Your lips I would not kiss
But the moment, I would surely miss
When I tried to kiss you.
well there you have it. No match for the other I wish to post but it’s a part of me still so I like it well i g2g. Heading out for Kansas City…shoulda left already!
@MeThisGuy-
awwwwwwwwwwwww, i like it!!! a whole bunch of mine seem to have been about guys i was dating, too. and like you they no longer mean much to me, nor do they look like much haha. yours was better hope you’re having fun in Kansas City!
Well I swore I wouldn’t post drunk anymore, but technically I’ve only “been drinking” so I think I’m safe… Just wanted to say, to any of the dreamers here who are from the U.S.,
Happy Fourth of July
Just got back from our annual fourth party, given by a pal up the street who has mucho dollars and who pays in excess of 20K for fireworks just for us attendees, and I am stoked as always This was the best one yet!! I think he had a line from the cops early and they probably told him “just get ‘em all out as quick as you can and we’ll let you go as long as we can” cuz it was like a finale for a full 40 minutes. Front row seats!!! It was beyond
Lucid dreaming not going well for me either, but I’ll keep hoping and trying for more…
DRREAM ON, LITTLE CAMPERS!!!
Just a quick semi-lucid moment I want to share:
The other night I dreamed I was sitting in a room with myself. I think maybe I’d been separated out into two completely autonomous parts of my self. One of me asked the other one “What is it you are really, truly afraid of?” or something like that. The other me replied in a coy manner, and I realized my semantics were probably too broad for the dream world, so I re-phrased (can’t recall the rephrasement) and asked again. I really wanted to know what scares me most in my deepest core. The other me was still playing a little coy but this time at least said “Hmmm, it’s probably got to have something to do with a black Ford Focus crashing” or something or other like that. (I drive a black Ford Focus.) I don’t feel like I’ve definitely got my answer, but I do know that in waking life I suspect I’m actually quite afraid of death. Anyway, I thought the whole sitting down to a conversation with my wiser self thing was interesting
Well I swore I wouldn’t post drunk anymore, but technically I’ve only “been drinking” so I think I’m safe…
we should take a night where we drunk post! Make a forum for it. What do ya think? I mean, who cares right?
In topic related news I had a good dream about being in a boat/bus that was traveling through the universe after I read that piece about that guy who died and went trippin through reality and stuff. He said a lot of things that I happen to have thought of but he also said a few things that I could easily look the other way to. But the whole case there is just sweet mystery and that’s what I love.
this is a cool thread, i just had my first lucid dreams recently (that i can remember anyway). Ive heard a lot about lucid dreaming in the past, read books about it and have tried all of the techniques that are supposed to facilitate it, but with no success. Then about 2 years ago i just stopped trying. Now it has happened twice in the last month. I hate to say it but i think its happening becuase I was recently sentenced to 1 year of random searches and drug tests, so i havnt been able to enjoy my favorite plant. I first noticed that i was remembering my dreams better without smoking, and now this has happened. It could be a coincidence i guess, I wonder if anybody else has noticed smoking herb making it harder to remember dreams?
It seems i become lucid when im having a bad dream, and looking at mountains (not sure if the latter is relevent but its been that way both times now). The first one I was dreaming that I was in this really weird jail, i got the feeling that it was in the mountains in europe or something. Things were pretty horrible, as you would expect in a jail dream, and then i remember looking at the mountains and remembering for a second that i was dreaming but i woke up.
The second dream was really weird, i was back at my high school kinda (it was like a mix of all my different schools) but i was the same age i am now. I dont remember very many details unitl the end of the dream, the teacher came over and started to cut my hair for some reason, but i didnt even notice that she was doing it. When i realized what was happening i was furious and embarrassed. I went outside after telling the teacher what i thought about her, and when I looked at the mountains i remembered i was dreaming. It was like a release, like, “oh yea, its not that bad its just a dream”. I always thought that the first thing i would do is fly, but i didnt. I looked at the mountains and started controlling the shape of them with my mind. It was really fun, i felt like i didnt have complete control though, things kept happening that i didnt intend, but the result was still really cool. This was one of the most significant moments of my life, almost more amazing than my first dmt breakthru.
^ thats is a pretty crazy video, i want to be sceptic and say its a trick but i dont see how thats possible.
and yes it is a bummer getting busted but its just another step in my conciouss evolution i say, just another event thats pushing me forward, like the current of the river of life. Wether my ego views it as a positive or negative thing is irrelevent. I think if you go with the flow of this current things are easier, smoother, but my ego resists. I grab onto a branch and try to stay where i am, fighting the current, and after a while the force builds up behind me, my arm gets tired, the branch breaks, and i am forced down the river violently. Its teaching me to let go, just go with it, trust it.
It seems like a negative event, not being able to enjoy the sacred plant that i feel helps me connect to nature, but maybe thats what needed to happen to give the experience of lucid dreaming, and who knows what else will come of it.
As far as smoking and remembering dreams or becoming lucid in dreams, i guess it probably effects everybody differently. I stopped smoking voluntarily a few years ago, kinda like an experiment, and my dreams were more vivid then too. It would suck if i had to choose one or the other, smoking or dreaming, but maybe all i need is a balance and i can have a little of both.
And the mountian shaping thing, that was nuts! Mountains were a big part of both of my lucid dreams and i dont think thats a coincidence. I wonder if they represent something, ill have to look into that. Although I dont know about those books about dreams, i think dreams are something that are just way too complex for us to fully understand or interpret with our puny brains. On one hand, im sceptical that somebody that knows nothing about my life can help me interpret my dreams, but then again maybe these are symbols that are coming from the collective conciousness, symbols that mean pretty much the same thing for everybody.

I have maybe a relevant opinion on that—lately I have been unable to go fully lucid, though I believe my mind is trying to nudge me into lucidity every night. My dreams lately have been inundated with objects and situations that are contrary to or even just plain impossible in waking life, and several times now (in the dreams) I have noticed that something is amiss and once or twice even realized they signified that I was dreaming. But it hasn’t gone further than that, and I think the reason may be that I’ve been taking Unisom almost every night for a while now. I am prone to insomnia, and when you couple that with my addictive personality - well, let’s just say I keep slipping up in the course of weaning off!!
But all lucid-gained vs lucid-lost vs lucid-notfound aside, I love discussing dreams and think it’s a fruitful activity in any case @Tokapelli, if you looked up mountains in some sort of dream dictionary, if I were you I’d take whatever I found with a grain of salt. I would guess that they stand for something fairly “big” (whether that’s big emotionally, or physically, or whatever), but like you say I’m doubtful dream images are a “one image fits all” kind of thing. Our minds have been through too intricately different paths for us all to share common symbolism, though I’m not discounting the collective unconscious, at least I don’t consciously mean to be…..
My most recent dream of note: I asked (the void, I guess) what was the most detrimental thing to our innate humanity (i.e. what distracts us from our inherent capabilities), and was given the answer “religion” (in symbolic form). When I asked a second time, for the second worst offender, the second answer was “television” (again in symbolic form).
Holy cow, though, UFO??! Wow! I wonder what it truly was. I guess we’ll all have to wonder forever *sigh* LOL A week or two ago there was a thunderstorm nearby and I kept seeing these colored lights rising up from the ground when there was lightning. The first time it happened I figured it was a power transformer blowing up or something, but then it happened several more times, and with different colors and longer duration so that I’m fairly convinced that’s not what it was at all. But like you, I’m left not knowing what it really was. Maybe UFO activity?? Who knows… All I know for sure is it was pretty cool to see! About your pretending you’re headed to the Statue everytime you go somewhere, that’s a really good idea, I’m going to try it, too. I never would have thought of that, but I think that might work as far as the mind getting used to “going there” all the time! Kudos on that one 
(and sorry it’s so long)
hope you’re having fun in Kansas City!
