2023- DREAMS & MEMORIES

 February 15

A nightmare & a Ditty

My alarm woke me from a dream I was teaching Kindergarten. I could not find the door to the class- it kept moving.  Found it and upon entering the class I saw little faces. But as I entered the room there were piles of socks lined up tied in knots. They were dingy and soggy. I was trying to untie when I woke up. Upon being awake! I wanted to remember a poem - ditty Dad Chrystie taught us when we were young. Panic I coiuld not even remember the first words - then it came to me

Sailing Sailing

Over Niagra Falls

Captain Dick

he lost his prick

And the fish

ran away with his balls

I have a shovel that is over 70 years old. It was always referred to as "the shit shovel" because that's what Mom used it for. Then it was joint ownership once I was old enough to lift the shovel. It was a daily activity. Mom died and I inherited it.Surprise ! dog shit started showing up  at her grave. Infuriating! I would report to her on each weekly visit the tally. Today I went to unearth  two rocks peeking through the ground below. Rocks are always larger than they appear. The shovel broke unearthing thrsr two. It will still be used but I feel like a ceremony is needed for the handle. LOL

woke remembering only snippets of the dream but it was very vivid.

There was a gathering of classmates from high school at a 2 story mechanics garage. Or at least that is what it looked like. I was trying to climb and was struggling but finally succeeded a wall that led to a drop down door like tha back of  a truck. This happened repeatedly and the drop down door was unstable.I amazed myself being able to lift my own weight. Woke up with tired arms. LOL

March 2

took a nap  before lunch. dreamed about shopping for food- no  details survive beyond me getting back here and unpacking purchases and seeing a small package the size if a pack of cigarettes. Flipped up the top and it was eggs. But tiny white eggs floaring around- they looked like tic tacs.

Woke up.

 I do not eat eggs.

Just watched Joe Scott video about lucid dreaming and left this comment

"I love to dream and feel cheated if I cannot remember them. I have found that  whatever I am doing or contemplating at 5 PM I wake next day having dreamed about it. I try to program dreams. It never seems to work when I am overtired though. Today I took a nap and was dreaming about a specific person washing out storage bins below my apartment. The sound of a hose was realistic. I woke to find my brother washing his car below. So maybe a noise created my dream. This was a fascinating video thank you."

Joe mentioned this
