Dream Recaps 2019 April 19-23

April 23
Finally my work days ended and I had a full night of dreaming after four straight days of hardly dreaming at all (which is very unusual, though probably because I was only sleeping about 4-3 hours due to long work days). The first segment had to do with roaming through an expansive Zoo, that was also a school, that was also a library, that was also the OKC science museum.  Later I'm with a group of friends in Sedona AZ. This is the first incidence of dreaming about a rich natural environment all week. Then I bump into an acquaintance, Bridget Nielsen, who is leading a group of people on a retreat. We are surprised to see each other, and the dream at this point seems to border on lucid. I point out to her all the similarities between the natural environment of this part of AZ and Oklahoma.

Something about a pile of faces, and Sergio Magana teaching me something that I can't recall. I had done the Toltec sleep preparation the preceding evening. I haven't been dreaming and its wierd, but it probably has something to do with the fact I've only been sleeping 3 or  4 hours these past few nights due to work.

April 19, 2019
I wake up in the night to some scraping, vibrating noise in the house and am paralyzed with fear. I want to take my earplugs out to hear it clearer but I can't move or sit up. Finally I get to a point where I can take out my earplugs and sit up. I hear my neighbors arguing outside and it feels like the whole world is wobbling. I listen to this for some amount of time until I realize everything has become silent again. The world feels different, normal now, and I wonder if I just slipped from one reality to another. I notice that  I am laying down again. I reach for my ears and discover that my earplugs are still in. I take them out. Utter silence. The next thing I remember is that I have been laying awake, with just an image of a woman's face fixed in my vision. It is like a faded antique black and white photo of a woman dressed in old fashioned garb. There is nothing in my mind but just this image. Silence. I wonder if this is an ancestor presenting themselves. At some point a child's voice said "Hey!" very clearly in my mind. Everything about this night felt different: plain and empty. I scarcely dream at all except for a short dream about work and answering a phone in my house that plays a pre-recorded ad for cat food. It is very unusual that I don't dream. I had spent a good part of that preceding day walking nature trails, and was hoping to dream about a forest environment. I feel like I am a more present in the 3dimensional world but less alive because of it.
