DREAM DIARY
If I remember the dream, it will live on here for everyone to remember.
This site started in June '01; after each month a new page will go up & previous ones will be linked here.

OCTOBER 01, 2009
I dreamt that I was in a large room of a large structure, and I was chasing after (and finding) all kinds of large moths. I mean these were some *LARGE* moths; not those little things you sometimes see circling your porch light on a spring or summer evening. One of the smaller ones I got was not able to fly, so I remarked to somebody nearby that I knew why and described the repair that I was going to effect on its wings. I then repaired the wings and set the creature free - it flew and even gained altitude as it flew out of sight. In another part of this dream, I saw a monarch butterfly (predominantly orange and black) and thought "I didn't know we had those things here" {"here" being Federal Way WA. USA} and chased it to an open window. I looked for it outside but failed to see it; however I saw a large number of other large insects and a very large furry spider - its legs and body were covered with fur colored whie and blue - and a large moth was resting on top of it. Sometime during this dream, I saw a clock that read 1:00, and thought that I was going to be in trouble for oversleeping, but when my alarm (in the waking world) discharged, the clock read 9:00 so I was relieved that I had only dreamt that I had overslept.



OCTOBER 02, 2009
In this dream, I was initially looking at an LED wristwatch. This watch was new in the box; the box had a styrofoam "eyeball" on it, and the dark part of the "eyeball" stuck to my hand. The watch had a very queer display; a rotating drum with white LED digits was seen. Over a period of several minutes, this morphed into a small- to medium-sized ghetto blaster with a lot of blue LEDs in it (including in the top of each of the silvery buttons that operate the cassette transport - the ones labelled "play", "pause", "rewind", etc.).

I remember walking through an indoor area with a lot of plants in it, and playing The Cars song "Panorama" from it rather loudly.



OCTOBER 13, 2009
I only remember a fragment of this dream, but a "fragment" is better than nothing at all.

This fragment had something to do with my using numbers that were multiples of 256 or 1,024 - the only significance these numbers have in the waking world is that they have some importance in the memory maps of 8-bit computers like the Commodore 64 that I used to write assembly language programs for. In this dream, I was not programming, but the numbers had some significance in any case.



OCTOBER 13, 2009
No, you aren't seeing things.
Yes, a same-day update.
I had this dream sometime between 8:55am and 9:00am PDT after having gone back to bed earlier in the morning.

In this dream, I was someplace that I recognised as "home" even though it was not where I lived in the waking world. My father's and mother's dinner was ready and being placed on the table, but my sister's and my dinners were not yet ready. I saw a Thanksgiving turkey (still covered with aluminum foil) and yams, but do not remember seeing any other dishes. Somebody dropped something on the floor, so my father got the vacuum cleaner and attempted to vacuum the mess up. He very rapidly shoved the vacuum forward, pulled it back by its cord, and did the same thing at least two other times before I stepped in and volunteered to vacuum up the mess. I started vacuuming, and shortly thereafter, lowered the vacuum cleaner over a large piece of a breadlike substance. I did this several times before picking the breadlike substance up and depositing it into a small wastepaperbasket with no plastic garbage bag in it. The last time I lowered the vaccum over the large piece, the motor slowed down considerably, but sped back up shortly thereafter.
My alarm clock then went off, putting an end to this dream.



OCTOBER 14, 2009
In this dream, I was in Capitol Hill, just east of downtown Seattle WA. USA.; and I was looking for a gay bar to get a glass of beer & tomato juice (Capitol Hill is Seattle's gay neighbourhood). It was approximately 9:00am - I would never even consider getting liquored up this early in the waking world. I was driving my Celebrity X3 scooter (a motorised wheelchair-like device for the disabled), and once again, it had pedals. I passed by a number of bars - all still closed of course. Then I started making my way back home (toward downtown). This trip was fairly routine, except that a construction project narrowed the roadway at one point - this area was covered. So I made my way through it, and stopped at the light. When it turned green, I started pedalling again and rapidly accelerated through the intersection.

Sometime shortly thereafter, it started snowing - and I mean snowing very heavily. I thought to myself "I wish I had a digital camera handy; this would make a great 'Picture of the Day' for my website". In the waking world, I did start a "Picture of the Day" page on one of my websites. Then I realised that I indeed had a camera in my bag; so I whipped it out and started shooting pictures. The snow was coming down so hard that part of the back of the camera became covered in snow; I had some minor difficulty in clearing it away so that I could see the video display screen.

I put the camera away, and restarted my trip to downtown Seattle. At some point, I felt too warm so I took my jacket off and stuffed it in the basket at the front of my scooter; I also took a slug out of a drink in a covered paper cup that I had - I believe it was a raspberry/lime smoothy from Sonic. It seemed a bit warm, but when I removed the lid and looked inside, there was still some "slush" in there.

Then I woke up.



OCTOBER 16, 2009
In this dream, my computers were set up in the garage. But this garage was different from the one here; yet I recognised it as the garage from home. But as you may know, "home" in a dream is not always "home" in the waking world.
There was somethingf on the right side of the monitor's face; when I attempted to wipe it away with my sleeve, it immediately reappeared. And it did so several times in quick succession. At that point, I realised that there was water dripping from the ceiling. So I went back into the house and shouted for Dan (this is the first time I ever remember having a dream with my stepbrother Dan in it). My father then came and followed me to the garage. Both of us looked up at the ceiling, he said something like "O shit, not again" under his breath, and then I proceeded to shut down the computers. One of them went smoothly; the other one had a display that looked like it was "cut off" at the edges so I was not able to read the Windows menu - but after fiddling with it for a short time, I found the "Shut down" option on it and used it. FWIW the "wallpaper" on that computer appeared to be a large computer mouse with a significant piece missing from the lower and central parts, so that it looked like a large upside-down "U". And the computer's screen image itself seemed to be projected onto something, rather than being on the same monitor as the first computer (which is the way I have them set up in the waking world).



OCTOBER 16, 2009
No, you aren't seeing things.
Yes, a same-day update.
I don't remember much of this dream (which I had during my afternoon nap), but I do remember part where I had a large box of new stuff show up in the mail. Among the many LEDs (unusual-looking high-powered whites and others) was a type of video monitor that was about the size of a very large wristwatch. The outer case was predominantly colored black, and I noticed that it had a full color display. Then I saw the words "320 x 240 camera" on it. Next thing you know, I was talking with somebody nicknamed "Photonwrangler" on the telephone, and somewhere along the line, it was revealed that this "watch" was also a GPS instrument, using a satellite called the "Polar Star" for that purpose.
That's pretty much all I remember before being awakened by music coming from the next room - my father was banging out synthetic electronic sounds from his keyboard.



OCTOBER 24, 2009
I was at Sandy Beach in Douglas AK. USA with other family members, and I had to go #1. So I started walking in the sand toward a building that housed the toliets. As I approached the structure, I realised that I was walking without a cane, but thought to myself "Debbie knows that I can walk for a short time without one" and that put an end to my concern.
When I got to the bathroom and opened the stall door, it contained two of those floor-length porcelain uranators instead of a toliet, so I turned around and left the bathroom. The structure "somehow" changed to be the ground floor of the Smith Tower, a 44-story building in downtown Seattle WA. USA (things so often just "somehow" change in dreams}. I resumed my search for a bathroom, and saw a sign reading "MEN" a short time later. When I opened the stall door there, the toliet bowl was half toliet, half uranator, and this granular light cream-colored material was sprinkled somewhat haphhazardly over it. But I figured that I could swing it out, deploy the other half of the toliet seat, and sit down on it anyway. So I went to close the stall door behind me. The door had a large gap between the frame and the door itself, and would not "lock" or latch closed. At this time, I woke up, and as is common with dreams about toliets, I really *DID* have to "go".

While I was in the second building, I distinctly remember hearing "muzak" coming from speakers in the ceiling. Although I remember some of the lyrics, the tune itself does not match anything I've ever heard.

The lyrics were:

Golan heights,
Golan heights,
da daaa da da da daaa,
Golan heights
Refrain {repeat}



OCTOBER 25, 2009
In this dream, I was once again in my scooter looking for something.
I was looking for a Sally Beauty Supply amongst stores in a very large shopping mall. As several times in the recent past, the scooter pedaled, but this time, it also hovered several inches above the ground. Some parts of this deram had me looking indoors in the mall (complete with going up & down escalators in my scooter), and other parts had me looking for the Sally Beauty Supply outdoors. At one point during the "outdoor" segment, I came to a set of railroad tracks with a train going by; once it was gone and I proceeded, I came across an electric lineman doing something to a high voltage line - only the tower (made of metal) was *VERY* short - five feet tall tops - so I turned around on the spot and headed back the way I came because it looked just too dangerous to proceed. The insulaters on that line were small (suggesting a voltage of no more than 7.2KV), but I somehow knew that it was 69KV or higher.

I never did find that Sally Beauty Supply before waking up.
