I go to a meetup for climbing. 300 people are present. There is also indoor skiing (^^kitchen/dining set for sale, $45 with reservations^^) The girl who has organized the meetup has killed many medieval knights who still walk the earth; she has only natural powers, but a huge sword.

(dreamers comment: I saw crouching tiger hidden dragon for the first time two years after this)

In a cafeteria, I buy lunch for exactly $10.56. A nerdy childhood friend is there- he is seven years old again and is going to take the MCAT exam soon. I hear that an acquaintance from college who shares my name is close to developing a self-tapping bolt in college.

I get shoes in the mail with cubes of beef in the bottoms from my friend I stayed with in Ireland. I wear them to a recently restored monastery and take them off at the gate. the courtyard has a beautiful sculpture in red stone, but the tour guide is awful. I walk into an open shop to find something left thereover the weekend. The property owner comes out and is alarmed. The wind had blown the door open.

I return to the dorm to find questionable characters standing around at the top of the stairs at an already crowded house. When I ask a girl coming down the stairs from the shower, wrapped in a green towel, if they are welcome, she decrees they must leave. But this ruling also seems biased.

I am travelling with a friend from college. We stay over at the house of a friend from high school who was really more of an annoying acquaintance than a friend. Once again I ask my friend from college to carry out some cognitive science research, which must be focused on the possibility of reaching the past and the future simultaneously through present thoughts. I originally proposed to fund $5,600 if he can uncover this secret, which I believe to be found in Springfield, Colorado. My parents appear; their presence is very tall, strong and wise.

A vague dream repeated 5 times in a span of two weeks:

I am going on some adventure

Setting out

taking a plane far away

In search of the unknown, of which I have thus far barely scratched the surface.

I sit in a large lecture hall to take an exam. I need a long code to begin. The test requires a lot of very advanced (? scribble) She tells us she is cancelling recitation in favor of Yoga.

Explaination of Content

I often have lengthy, vivid dreams. I think they mean a lot, and help me to get in touch with true feelings when they're not always on the surface when I'm awake. Sometimes, I dream clairvoiyant premonitions which come true days or months later. Or maybe it's just that if we experience enough, any prediction can be looked back upon to have truth. Sometimes I remember things in the un-conscious state that suprise me: like a forgotten phone number, or someones name, where I lost something, or an important appointment. The brain must have a strange system of information sotrage. Other times, I act in a disturbing manner towards people or things. These dreams take the longest to understand.

I think recording dreams is useful. I keep a notebook by my pillow, and when I awake, I write down anything I can remember. This is sometimes very little, sometimes more than I had expected and often written while still half asleep.

The only content I will post here will be copied from this notebook. All names of people are changed and abbreviated with initials, so please don't turn this into a guess who game. Also, I am reserving the right of censorship- they are my dreams, after all. Of what I am able to write down, less than 10% fall into this category. Some nights, I am just not able to recall my dreams, or fall asleep while writing them down.

I would be interested in your comments, and any interpretations are welcome. Maybe you see it as sort of an experiment; how much can ones dreams reveal about oneself without knowing anything else? Or maybe we all dream simillar things. Who really knows anyone elses dreams in detail? Here are mine.
