Well one month has come and gone and its about time for another dream diary entry. I haven't been trying to do anything but keep track of myself & my cats when I wake up. Consequently, I haven't been noting very many details about my dreams upon awakening.
On Saturday mid-mornings & Wednesday nights I often watch a ton of nature videos. This Wednesday was no exception. So I had many peaceful dreams this past Wednesday night about living with talking critters & forest spirits. These nature dreams were remarkable in their color & clarity, far beyond what is currently offered in VR tech for example. I thought I was really there.
On Thursday night I dreamed about supertyphoon Haiyan & about the superstorm multivortex that rages perpetually at Venus' south pole. The two are linked in my mind & I am trying to understand why. That is why I am regarding those 2 dreams as Prognostications rather than as dream interpretations. Many real scientific & mathematical discoveries began with vivid drams by brilliant people. Ours is not to understand why.
Last cat when I came home from visiting the nephews & picnicking at Ferne Clyffe, there were people from the road & the library parking lot next door shining lights into our Backyard Jungle to spot the deer there. It was around 8 pm. Since the deer were there 2 days in a row, I became concerned about the bobcat that dad saw on Thursday coming around again. I don't want to lose another cat after 4 disappeared last year. So after waking up & passing out again after 2 am, I dreamed that Sticky cat was missing and that I couldn't find him. When I awoke again briefly around 7 am, he knocked on my bedroom door & I sat up to let him in. I was very relieved to see him hale and fit.

Climate Change, apocalypse, refugees, ghost hunt, dermatome, demon hunter, cat squirrel, family values dream
Dream Diary update. I skipped last month's entry. I had almost decided to abandon this blog. Not only did I not want to remember my dreams but I almost gave up on my prognostications on tumblr. I just had another doozy tho, so I am writing about it here.
Basically in this dream I was part of a group of young refugees sort of as their sempai. We were living in a community together in another post-apocalyptic society. I think perhaps the global ocean had raised 20 ft and climate change desertification with toxic chemical waste added had reached 76% of the land surface. Africa and the Amazon rain forests was obliterated. We took refuge in a lot of urban jungles. Shopping malls were turned into communal living spaces.
My job in society wasn't merely as mentor to new refugees. I was as a sort of ghost-killer. I took the dermatome and other instruments that our mentors gave me and I sliced any ghost that I found among the refugees to ribbons, until either they gave up or else their demon brains exploded. It was a grisly job and I had to keep it secret from our social orders.
Anyway what happened was I got very tired of a slasher horror show happening every time they told me to sneak away at night to battle monsters. I found a ghost among this group of young folks I was transporting. It was a young tall black fellow with almost no hair on his head. I got him to play games with us on the train. He seemed like a nice fellow at first. I asked my spectral superiors if I could just let this one go but they refused. The demon seemed to recognize that I was going to take him down. He created a barrier so that the others could not see us fighting on the train. I beat him and almost had his brain slashed open with my ghostly dermatome when I awoke.
In real life the cats had brought a squirrel in to my room to eat it. Sticky cat hid given up on his anorexia from yesterday and was happily munching on a leg. I didn't want to interrupt him, but I don't like them to make big messes in our room. So I picked up the dead squirrel and I set him on the back porch with Sticky cat and a bowl of water. Swirly cat soon followed her brother outside. I think she was the one who had brought the squirrel in to feed her hungry brother cat. nom nom nom

Leap Day William, Nelson Mandela, American oil & gas extractivism, heat wave, Tina Fey, sexy Tango dream
Dream Diary Update. I went to sleep with the door next to my bed open and tv on ABC. I set the fan in the doorway and my leg on top of the fan because I find that it discourages the coons from coming in past me to get the cat food. I doubt I need to elaborate why I have to keep my door ajar with a fan since there is a massive heat wave raging on multiple continents right now. To paraphrase the @nbcnightlynews meteorologist roaming outside in NYC Central Park West, "A lot of Americans I spoke with in the beginning didn't know what a Heat Dome was. Well, They all know it now!" When I woke up I could hear the coon snuffling & grunting around my door near my feet so I closed it.
I seem to remember waking up once or twice after listening to Jimmy Kimmel's monologue to watch snippets of 30 Rock reruns that ABC puts on late at night. Specifically I watched parts of an episode about Leap Day. Jim Carrey played a character called Leap Day William.
Right now they have on Classic Arts Showcase (CAS). This German symphony was playing the Tango.
That background explains some of my dream elements. See, I just dreamed that Nelson Mandela came out of South Africa to hide a scandal for his country, that he secretly longed for revenge against the American Oil & Gas Industry. One of Mandela's more radical followers had hatched a scheme that Tina Fey's character from 30 Rock had foiled & they sent Mandela personally to do some diplomatic damage control.
After Mandela came out and leered at us while spinning yarns to the black tie party, I tangoed with Tina Fey down the street all the way up to my nephews' apartment. Then I woke up listening to Tango music and snuffling coons at my feet. That might explain some of the more surreal elements of my dream, as well as the sexy office Tango bonus I received at the end there.

Black mambas, Fox and scorpion, tuatara lizard, de-extinction dreams
Addendum to the last post. After chatting with nephew I watched Classic Arts Showcase from 3-6 am. Then I passed out watching the Today Show. I dreamed about being trapped in a colony of sustainable living advocates. Eventually their use of new technology grew to be such a burden that I was literally hemmed in by Tech so that I was almost trapped. I was crawling past the Tech on the walls almost like when I went caving in the Grand Canyon, only I could see the sun and sky shining through overhead through the brilliant blue passive solar glass. When you go caving everything is pitch black and night critters are scurrying away from you. Anyway eventually I got some space after the sustainable living colony declined into a lower population. I was able to try out the new genetic modification device. It de-extincted plants and animals. I was trying to resurrect lizards when I brought back a brilliant iridescent green four-legged creature that was dog-sized, venomous and intelligent. It opened its mouth and hissed while shining one of its icy blue eyes at me. I could see a row of sharp fangs. Nevertheless, I tearfully embraced it. It was after the 6th great Mass Extinction Event, so any natural creatures were precious treasures. As I embraced him and we stared at each other he made this evil grin. Then I woke up.
After waking up I recalled the fact that Nature had rerun their 2010 Black Mamba episode this week. I had several Black Mamba dreams after that, including one where I was performing a veterinary operation on one.
I also remembered the Aesop parable about the Frog and the Mouse. Of course I remembered it as the African version that I reread more recently in an 1990s anthology of African writers. In that version it was a Fox and a Scorpion
I mused then that the venomous lizard I was embracing in my dream made no move to bite me.
I was delighted later when I turned on Jeff Corwin's Ocean Mysteries on ABC this AM and found that he was also very excited about these tuatara lizards on Matiu Somes island off the coast of New Zealand. They reminded me very much of my dream-lizard. Corwin also searched out their favorite food the weta insect.

College prep school, black mamba operation, PBS, grandmaw's tipple dreams
Once again my dreams are a matter for the family chat room late night with my naturalist nephew. I had a dream Wed night about @PBSNature where I was operating on a Black mamba snake. It was a successful operation. Just now my dream was about college academic bureaucracy. Pretty tame stuff. My nephew says that he dreamed about one of my running jokes with him. I'm often referring to "grandmaw's tipple" when I joke with him, the bottles of wine my mother brings home and drinks every night. This week it turned out to be a big gallon jug of red wine. So now my nephew dreams about them. In the chat room this is shortened to "gmas tipple." The link to the @PBSNature episode about Black mambas is here. This chat log is mildly expurgated. I also removed the name of a local politician & family friend who dealt with a plagiarism charge.

[02:11:43]
i just had an odd dream
[02:11:47] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
how's it goin
[02:12:04] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]

[02:12:17]
well i have a million of em
[02:12:47]
i also remember them 80% of the time when i wake up cuz its so fast
[02:13:23]
anyway in this dream my academic college record was in the toilet again
[02:14:06]
I took 3 of my journal papers and revised them to turn them in as my own work like I did for my first Master's thesis
[02:14:58]
a bunch of stuck up college preps met with me and looked at me calmly informing me smugly "That's plagiarism"
[02:15:19]
even tho my college adviser told me that it isnt
[02:15:55]
see they are fuckin arbitrary as hell about that "plagiarism" charge
[02:16:09]
they stick anybody they dont like with that one
[02:16:34] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
IC
[02:16:52]
for example they tried to say that *local college president* plagiarized his doctorate paper
[02:17:09] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
they make sure to tell you over and over again that it's a big deal and they'll screw you for it, I know that
[02:17:46]
no evidence, they just somehow proved that he lifted some words from another paper without citing them properly
[02:18:30]
anyway it was a big deal and he had to pay 3 other professors to read his revised paper
[02:19:12]
somehow it always means that you pay off the 3 most stuck up asshole professors in the entire college system
[02:19:38]
that's what a bogus "plagiarism" charge means
[02:19:42] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
as usual it comes down to monnnnneeeeeehhhh I C
[02:19:50] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
The root of all evil
[02:19:52] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
lol
[02:19:54]
for grad students it means you are kicked off campus
[02:20:14]
undergrads get suspended for up to 2 years
[02:20:30] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
yeah suspension and all that, that was always at least implied when they talked to me about it
[02:20:52]
I still think its applied to anyone a professor doesnt like
[02:21:34]
you know in some cases its like calling the pope a plagiarist because he lifts his best lines from the Bible
[02:21:54] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
sorry about school dreams : ( last thing I'd want to dream about
[02:22:18]
oh i dream about college shit all the time
[02:22:45]
considering my entire career was at college or in dead end jobs its a wonder it aint every night
[02:23:26]
i mean who wants to dream about wiping asses or cleaning grease traps?
[02:23:48]
so i dream about stuck up assholes in every form
[02:24:14]
if I had worked at the beach instead then id be dreaming about the beach every night
[02:24:35]
y ocean sunsets and sea turtles etc
[02:24:39] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
oh I see
[02:25:33] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
difference in dreaming tendencies, I guess. Mine are always at least apparently devoid of real-life context unless I think about it for some of them
[02:25:43] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
weird surreal shit
[02:26:08] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]

[02:26:32]

[02:26:51]
y space turtles
[02:27:21]
I prolly dream about that after watching @novapbs 2 nights in a row before bedtime

[02:34:20]
oh y
[02:37:05] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
that dream discussion last night must have jump started the dream centers of my brain; finally had another. Gma gave me this bottle of what was ostensibly wine, but tasted more like tropical fruit juice. I proceeded to drift through time and space, and ended up in some far off city full of shoppers. Everyone was trying to sell me shit. I took another swig, and the stuff made me invisible. I therefore hid away from the crowds under a tree, and wondered why I didn't taste any alchohol or feel any related effects. As I looked down at my gut drowsily, my head merged inside of it and I briefly saw nothing but darkness. When I pulled my head out, this big woman was looking worriedly at me holding the bottle of whatever-the-fuck. I wanted it back from her, but she ran off with it.
[02:37:44] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
Not a very long dream
[02:38:11] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
Gma doesn't have any mysterious foreign possibly-magical fluids hiding amongst her tipple does she? lol

that dream discussion last night must have jump started the dream centers of my brain; finally had another. Gma gave me this bottle of what was ostensibly wine, but tasted more like tropical fruit juice. I proceeded to drift through time and space, and ended up in some far off city full of shoppers. Everyone was trying to sell me shit. I took another swig, and the stuff made me invisible. I therefore hid away from the crowds under a tree, and wondered why I didn't taste any alchohol or feel any related effects. As I looked down at my gut drowsily, my head merged inside of it and I briefly saw nothing but darkness. When I pulled my head out, this big woman was looking worriedly at me holding the bottle of whatever-the-fuck. I wanted it back from her, but she ran off with it.
[02:37:44] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
Not a very long dream
[02:38:11] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
Gma doesn't have any mysterious foreign possibly-magical fluids hiding amongst her tipple does she? lol

[00:43:19]

[00:43:45] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
I'm up at midnight again X_X
[00:43:48] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
so's joe
[00:43:50]
ive been having a superweird dream
[00:44:02] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
recurrent?
[00:44:05] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
those
[00:44:11] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
are always odd
[00:44:25]
i was stuck in a time stop and kept reliving two minutest agan
[00:44:44]
reliving two minutes
[00:45:04] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
O_O that would get torturous fast
[00:45:13]
only they kept changing and these mafia guy kept coming to kill us
[00:46:33]
in the end i chose life and light instead of darkness and kept arguing with them that they shouldnt kill me
[00:46:54]
they were members of the cops mafia
[00:47:10]
you know crooked cops
[00:47:27]
i was a physician who wanted to save everybody
[00:48:26]
i kept wanting to kill everybody but if i did that then id be stuck in the time loop forever
[00:49:01] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
weird
[00:49:30]
so i lengthened the time loop to 3 minutes by trying to save everybody even tho they were intending to kill me
[00:50:24]
at the end of 3 minutes i had taken 2 bullets and fought them off while explaining why they shouldnt kill me for exposing them
[00:50:48]
also i saved one of their number who had gone down in the firefight
[00:51:41]
i was in the corner applying tourniquets and arguing with him when i woke up
[00:54:13] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
that's pretty strange lol the more people you keep from dying the more time you get but you'd need more than a few mins to save them I would think.
[01:02:01] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
I've been mostly dreamless lately, kinda strange really. I had one REALLY funky climate change/dystopia/death related one a couple months ago and can't remember having any after that
[01:10:13] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
I was on wolf creek. The power plant on lake of egypt had become a massive supercomplex of smog spewing factories and other assorted industrial buildings. We were all trapped there; crowds of despondent people lined the water's edge dressed in rags. I went to the end where the cars usually turned around, and this weird robed guy was holding a dead girl. He looked at me and said some weird mumbly stuff, then knelt down next to the water. The girl's body turned to oily sludge and drained into the water. End dream, tho thinking back I wonder if the line of people were those waiting to be transformed and emptied into the lake
[01:10:34] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
it freaked me out a little
[01:10:52] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
same day you told me about those rednecks who shot a circus elephant IIRC
[01:11:08] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
haven't had much since then
[01:11:16] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
lol it's a little morbid sorry
[01:11:51] [Tom - 25.237.132.57 / 2620:9b::19ed:8439]
anyway I'm no dream interpreter so can't help you there
[01:16:04]
oh well i usually have time stop dreams when im mediatating
[01:16:53]
I suspect it was because I was forcing myself to stay on my left side all night to void rolling on kitties
[01:17:13]
they come and go from my bed at night you see
[01:17:48]
When I passed out Sticky was sleeping in front of me while Swirly kept jumping up to tampoline on my bed
----------------------------
Addendum:
I said that I was laying on my left side to avoid rolling over onto kittens in bed.In truth I was laying on my RIGHT side. I have to meditate while asleep to stay on my RIGHT side because I favor the left. If I don't do this then I frequently thrash around and damage the wall.
you know swirly caught a bird this morning and tried to eat him in here

Braman, yoga injury, wheel of fire, Green Man, Apparition, Library Apocalypse dreams
Dream diary update. This is the first entry I have made on CrapboxReloaded. The old power supply on Crapbox died and the boys helped me get reconnected on this newer device. On Wednesday 5/8 I began having dreams that involved more movements and sleepwalking. I can tell when my sleeping spinal block is partially inactive every 6 weeks or so. Wednesday's dreaming was harmless. I had Brahman-type Vedic dreams about creation & discipline while I could feel my body practicing some yoga moves. Sure enough I woke up sore on Thursday.
I fell asleep upstairs Thursday 5/9 afternoon while holding Swirly kitten on the couch and after I woke up I noticed that I couldn't walk anymore. Its possible that I may have vaulted from the couch to leap awake at some point either Wednesday or Thursday. I don't remember it well. Anyway I had a medium strain in my lower back muscles that contorted my posture and made it very painful to get up for the past 4 days. I only just now got full functioning & ROM, although I expect the discomfort when my spinal pressure rises as I stand to continue for a few days.
On Friday 5/10 I dreamed I was the Green Man again. I turned a few people into trees before turning into a soaring eagle in mid-air. I woke up while dreaming that I was flying a great loop until I was upside down.
On Saturday 5/11 I dreamed about being a bodiless apparition or blue vapor who moved from room to room interacting with other higher dimensional entities. I wondered if this dream was related to my injury or to the muscle relaxant med that dad gave me. I've been taking them once per day at noon and they cause me to drop off into a disturbed nap.
This morning (Sunday 5/12) I had another wild dream that was filled with religious imagery. This time it was more Judeo-Christian than Wednesday's Hindu dreams. Instead of dreaming about a wheel of fire or reincarnation, I dreamed that the 'end times' apocalypse was at hand. Instead of being a floating apparition moving room to room like yesterday (Saturday, 5/11), I dreamed up a new physical identity who similarly moved from room to room as the dream progressed. I was helping a group of monks try to save sacred scriptures and testaments in each room as the leader of the demons attacked with his minions. I read the scriptures as I visited each room talking to the monks. They were profoundly Christian but included some discussion of Babylonian deities and naming demons. We were losing against the latest demon attack. I was pinned against the ceiling & enveloped by blue flames as parchment smoldered & flew everywhere like a swarm of fiery bees. The flames reached my eyes blinding me as I awoke. I mused on how religious my dreams have been getting lately when religion plays so small a part of my waking life. I had an urge to watch religious satire anime, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, which I found mildly amusing. I briefly considered and rejected attending Mother's Day services with mom at her Methodist haunt.
Interpretation: It is not unusual for me to have apocalyptic dreams after injuring myself in my sleep. However, the blue flames, Green Man. ivy, and other nature images suggest that it may be related to Wednesday's announcement that global carbon dioxide reached 400 ppm. Thursday's PBS Newshour announced that that is the highest it has been in 3M years. All the coastal state Senators I watched on cspan this week were speaking about how their states will be ruined by between 2050 and 2100. Both California senators claimed that their state will be a desert. Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island claimed that vast swaths of the East coast will soon be underwater. So the apocalypse dreams are probably because of that disturbing announcement. I spoke with my brother about it briefly yesterday. As to why the dreams are so religious is anyone's guess. I am a hard agnostic humanist while awake. I like to say that no human could possibly have it right.
As to why I've been dreaming about Vedas or sacred texts. This week I heard the results of a long term study about the effects of heavy internet usage on child development. The researchers claimed that lack of human interaction led to stunted language development for babies born since 2000 (Millennial babies.) Conclusions Quote: "Heavy usage of devices (ie babysitter tvs) led to a scarcity in polyglots and the Internet is 'Shredding' basic reading skills." I especially remember that word 'Shredding' by the early internet usage. Since I grew up in libraries sleeping and reading, I know how important they are to secondary education. I may be no true polyglot, but I can read at 300+ words per minute. That has enhanced my internet experience. It seems that most Millennials want a more stimulative medium or VR interface. That will harm their chances at traditional education. More importantly, they will even be unfamiliar with the concept of sacred texts since text outside of txting & tweeting would seem completely unnecessary to them.
