Outer Space!

I am also particularly fond of dreams that include characters I love that others have created. :) Did I mention I love Science Fiction? Be it book, movie or television, it is a rich playground indeed. I also adore insects..

In part of the dream we are in a casual meeting room with a replicator, couches and a board table. It’s where officers prepare for the day reading reports, having coffee, and catching up. (Next generation) Picard looks like he is wearing a grey “on leave” outfit. Troi and Riker are also present.

An alien vessel is hovering in the sky passively. Stephen Harper ascends a ramp in a computerized machine along with one of the aliens. He successfully navigates the ceremonial greeting and opening of talks/negotiations. Unfortunately as the talks progress Harper does or says something that completely disrupts things. (though what it is exactly is unknown).  Spock, Picard and some of his officers are called upon to amend the situation. They realize they must tread very carefully now.

The story starts out centred around a group of people who are capable of space travel. They are a moderately sized group between 100-300 people (approx). A smaller group of scouts/specialists is attempting to fix a marooned space ship orbiting a dim planet. On the surface there is an encampment and the landscape is somewhat barren to the untrained eye. The people are in conflict with and possibly fleeing another group.

These people have trained incredibly large insect like creatures to help with transport, they are also capable of space travel. (These ones similar in appearance to Giant Water Bugs, roughly the size of a truck)

There is some sort of element that is found all throughout the universe, but is concentrated in certain pockets. Another at least 4x larger insect creature has discovered the human activity and is curious and follows them to the dim planet (which always seems to be in state of twilight). In the dream I am now in the perspective of the large creature and am speaking with one of the giant water bugs, the people do not realize how intelligent their companions are. Something that the humans are doing or perhaps the planet itself has created an unusual concentration of the element. The smaller creature tells the respected larger that they have been able to "reach Gaia" because of this. The larger creature reflects on the incredible possibilities of this.

What I have forgotten is the extensive scene with some of the people attempting to complete a particular operation/mission in space. 

Of Heroes

These complex imagined world dreams are truly those I enjoy most! Adventures, interesting characters and otherworldly creatures and beings. Hurrah!

It was prophesized that the baby Gato would be the one to defeat the evil and powerful man that threatened the peaceful existence of the people. At a young age the enemy tried to assassinate Gato, but the plot was foiled. When Gato was young one of the best in their art of fighting appeared to train him. Although some of his tutor’s mysterious skills eluded him. Gato lives in a mountain near to one of the central cities.

However our story follows the young Yoshi, who is raised by disciplined monks who teach him the way of the honourable warrior. With them he learns some of the mysteries and drawing on good energy possesses mysterious skills. He grows up in a lush valley area where humans and other intelligent beings live peacefully together. (these people are very different in form from humans). One day his masters receive an urgent message from the monks from the central mountains. They quickly bring Yoshi to the mountain. Gato and Yoshi meet, and the monks reveal to them that they were switched as babies to save the real Gato (Yoshi) from assassination, knowing the enemy would know the boy living here was not the one they truly sought. Both young men laugh to discover their real names, each having grown up with the other’s name, and choose to keep the name they grew up with as each is more appropriate to the region they grew up in and can’t imagine changing now.

Late one night Gato’s mysterious tutor appears and immediately Yoshi knows he is the enemy. Gato is shocked to discover this and it soon becomes clear that he could not learn his master’s mysteries because he was drawing on evil energy and Gato was truly good. Gato wishes to join Yoshi, but the enemy, though cruel has become fond of Gato and quickly eliminates him from the fight.   

That is all I can remember except that Yoshi must have won as there is a scene where his friends join the parade at the edge of the tree-village near the central city. (Surprising many human-folk by their strangeness and some by their enormous size, only a few, smaller non-humans live in the central cities).

And I also tell Matthew about my dream in my dream. And have a dream about Matthew and I that eludes me now. 

Pleasant Beings, Oh where art thou?

Much of the story of this dream has been lost. But it centers around a woman from another realm. The very few people of Earth who know of them refer to them as “no face” people. They are called this because when they reveal themselves to humans they only remove a drama mask shaped part of their disguise, which covers their face. The “no face” people are roughly shaped like humans but their skin/bodies looks like you are looking at a pool reflecting light. Sometimes it is darker like an ocean, others lighter like a glacial pool. They may have eyes but no ears, mouth, nose or other facial features. As humans they are elegant people who prefer billowing, flowing clothing, and they have startlingly blue eyes. If they stay on Earth long enough their disguise ages at a slower rate than a human, allowing them to blend in with the people around them. They do not travel between realms lightly, and to do so is difficult and must be done with precision under particular circumstances. A kind of portal has been made from an unassuming wooden sculpture of a carousel; two of the figures are a monkey and an elephant. Under the tented top is where a disc appears of shimmering blue.

The no face people often come to Earth either to learn or to help return things to balance. The one woman spent a very long time here both learning and completing her mission. She usually carried with her two journal sized leather bound books and another object of similar scale, perhaps a picture or parchment, map, guide, it is not made clear. At the end of the first story arc, the woman is quite old, that is her disguise is old, no face people seem ageless to us.  She wants dearly to return home although she has made many good friends here during their time. In the end they succeed in sending her home. One of her friends keeps the carousel and it is passed down in their family.

At some point a human does go to their realm to learn knowing they will be unable to return to Earth.

In the second story arc a young male acolyte of their kind tries a new way to help shift the balance. They do so by sliding into the consciousness of a willing host and guiding them. Such a person is found in the descendants of the woman’s friend, although he knows the host is young the no face has little experience with humans in their entirety and has much to learn. At one point he reflects that he should owe his elder no-face (not the name they call themselves) for placing him within the body of a toddler. (He does not mind that she is a girl but finds the sensation of urinating discomforting, and it seems to him that the little one has to do so very frequently.) The little girl potty trains very quickly with his guidance. He guides her gently but not overwhelmingly, they are as one but our language cannot describe the phenomenon adequately. The little girl has at least two older siblings a boy and a girl.

That is all I recall!

Adventures in the foothills

Mar 30, 2011

- At the beginning of my dream I am on wilderness trip with a group: a beautiful hike in familiar Albertan landscape to a bit of a plateau camping area with easy walks to nice views. (the landscape is very vivid)

- Later I return with Jordan & Steve, on the way in to the site we see many animals, especially going the opposite direction. One looks sort of like a Kudu.

Upon arrival I am shocked, dismayed and angry to see the group that is there now has trampled and flattened everything, pitched tents anywhere. I am determined to get far away from them, especially after one complains there were no animals (they’ve frightened them away)

The people travelling with me are a little reluctant to continue as they don’t want to get lost.

-I reply we just have to follow the beaten path, (“I don’t see a path”)

-A golden eagle and a juvenile are sitting up on a dead tree, but we can see them well

-I look up and greet them, Hello. The juvenile replies “Hi” The parent chastises him with a gentle screech (as if to explain that we don’t talk with them!) I excitedly go and ask the others if they heard him speak to me.. I felt it meant we were on the right path.

-Eventually we come to a small spread out village that seems to be in harmony with nature.

-There is an antique and general store

-A bookish woman in blue & white, in a dress and carrying papers sees that I am looking at a detailed green and painted plate, it seems to depict a scene from a story, and nearby I find an old copy of the tale that matches (it has a black cover and the cover is well worn)

-already in the dream things feel as if not all is as it seems  

-the woman shows me that the plate is one of only four in the world, I should get it, my parents would love to see it

-eventually I realize it is depicting the Green Man

-the woman somehow convinces me to go with her, she wants to discuss things or show me something

-I seem to follow her through all sorts of strangeness, and the landscape is very interesting,

-At one point we encounter a police officer (he is very short, who worked at night, we woke him up accidentally by making noise in front of his home, but he is courteous, by then I am starting to mistrust the woman and I want to return to the shop as I haven’t paid for the plate or book, along our way we have picked up a second book.

-when I make it clear that I am turning back the woman gets angry.

-it is starting to rain and I ask the man for a plastic bag to protect the books, he doesn’t have any but there is one stuck up in the branches of a low tree, which is in the middle of a swampy pond. He pushes past me (I worry for a moment that he is on her side) but he goes and jumps right into the pond (a yellow slicker suddenly appears to cover him) and jumps up to retrieve it.

-he then decides he is going back to bed and runs incredibly fast (yellow slicker gone) back to his wooden home. (it dawns on me that he is a dwarf, of the magic variety).

-as soon as I make it clear that I am going back the woman becomes angry and moves to take the plate and books – I run

-when I make it back to the gold grassy hill (near a cottage we passed earlier) she catches up and we have a tousle, by now I know she is a witch (not evil, just wanting), I also take a broom from her that isn’t hers, after throwing hers next to her on the ground   

-the shop is in sight and I finally arrive back

-as I come into sight of the window of the front door I can see another woman who is dressed clearly as  witch. She eyes me eagerly and comes after me at once – somehow I am knocked flat, “Oh no” I say with exasperation. Then my alarm wakes me. 

Back to the Future

*direct from notes. 

Dec 1 2010  -------------------------------------------------

The dream starts out at Riva & Andrew's store, the dream takes place in the future. The future is a strange blend of underground progress, insane cowboy frontier, and pretentious high culture. Riva and Andrew are very famous, though they live fairly low key, preferring to participate mostly in the underground movement. They still dress to fit with the high culture, which looks a lot like extreme fashion with a dash of emo (bright and dark versions). A goth looking girl recognizes them from a magazine (with R, A and John Frosst) featuring them as being part of an elite group called the fifty-plus, frifty plus or thrifty plus?? I'm not sure if this was a high or underground group. But they were part of important groups in both. The store was packed with stuff, and people. Lots of beige coloured raw food shaped like objects.. I was getting off work, this was on the edge of the “city” district. There was a deserted swath of barren land lying between the city and a forest of some sort.

Somehow I met up with an adventuresome-cowboy-hat wearing type man, not sure if I was friends or not with him before. (I think there was one other person with us). We were out in the barren land, there was lots of old junk and debris around. There was a fringe group out near the forest, we might have been going to check out what was going on. But there were red tails and black eyes that we had to be wary of. Somehow we made a mother red tail angry and she charged us. We sheltered under some debris. That is when I became aware I was dreaming and started to enjoy the (now danger free) thrill of the attack, I vividly saw the red and tan spiked tail smashing at our dubious shelter. That is all I remember.

Red Tail – large (rhino sized) tan spiked armdillo/ankylosaurus creatures red all over with a spiky smashing tail, young are not spiked and are tan in colour.

Black eye – large creatures with black markings
