Shaolin kung fu, secret scrolls, ultimate technique, demon dream

Dream diary update. An hour ago I had a dream that was like a martial arts movie. In the dream I was one of the Shaolin monks in a monastery that had become possessed by an ancient demon from the caves beneath. The demon had murdered the master and turned the library into his lair. My brothers and I had to go into the library and retrieve the secret scrolls/talismans that would unlock our ultimate powers. Surprisingly when we retrieved them at great cost, the powers were all the colors including black. The colors powers were shared between me and different sets of brother monks. I was the keystone to unlock all the powers. Even with all the scrolls we were unable to defeat the demon who had followed us to infest the surface. Finally I unlocked the ultimate secret that combining all the scrolls together could unlock an ultimate bright, white power. The white power required all 12 of my remaining brothers and I. All of the powers combined in us wiped out the demon and restored the sanctum as I awoke.

Base jump dream

Dream diary update. I slept late this morning and woke up after 0935 feeling good. I had a flying dream that was 2 parts Matrix, one part Harry Potter, and one part Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. Thoroughly satisfying. I vaguely remember arguing with some sprites or brownies before taking off. I flew like a wingsuit base jumper past billowing forests, around skyscrapers and cruise ships, and out to sea before I awoke.

RV, McMansion, Running Man, Fortuna's Wheel dreams

I had one memorable dream Tuesday morning at 0630, one Tuesday morning at 0830, and one just now at 0100 Wednesday morning. The first was about driving a luxury RV around that was bigger on the inside than out, sort of like a pocket dimension.

I attributed that dream to thinking about future trends for Baby Boomers just before bed. Many of them prefer to sell everything and drive around in RVs until close to the end.

 
The second dream I had just before watching the Gulf Oil Commission read its report on live cspan. I found the report so interesting that I forgot most of the details of that dream. It was about representing the world as a sort of cat's cradle McMansion where people are always killing each other to be respawned back at their starting points.

Just now my dream was about the Wheel of Fate only it was a Wheel of Death. It was sort of like the dystopian story behind the movie Running Man where cons were forced to kill each other for TV in the future.

In my dream we would go into a compound and everyone would kill each other while they are reincarnated outside. I was a champion but near the end I ended up letting 2 pretty girls kill me because the whole thing bored me. I never was a big fan of karmic destiny. My favorite book, A Confederacy of Dunces, the main character Ignatius J. Reilly is continually referring to "Fortuna's Wheel." He regards it broadly as his enemy and in some ways so do I.

Giant cat, surreal, Anna Netrebko, Donizetti dream

I just had a dream an hour and a half ago that was pretty strange. It was surreal with my cat as a giant, green Nature, odd cars, beautiful rays of sunlight, and perfect bubbles.

Great Performances/PBS was playing so loudly on my TV that I almost woke up several times and the music got incorporated into the surreal dream environment. This week they have Donizetti's Don Pasquale starring sexy pop-opera diva Anna Netrebko 

Near the end of my dream she was blasting away with her Don Pasquale climax while I was was struggling to escape from sleep by pulling it away like strands of grass and spikes of glass.Finally I pulled free with Netrebko finishing and my giant cat looking on quietly as I awoke.

Timecop, Dark Knight dream

Thursday morning, Jan 6, I had a dream that was very like the movie "Timecop" in plot. I view this as stemming from watching Twitter a huge amount over the last week. Blogger Matt Yglesias likes that movie so much he watched it again for recreation New Years Eve and tweeted about how perfect it is again. I of course despise most cop movies though I can enjoy them because I like action and I love sci-fi. Timecop is just so-so for me and definitely not my favorite Van Damme since the action idea is a cop who murders when he can't get a conviction is the alpha-male sexual hero. Even Dirty Harry didn't do that. My dream was more like "Time Assassin" since both men were trained assassins instead of cops and my "good" character had one of those giant capes like batman has in Dark Knight comics

Waking up from this dream was a dramatic transformation again. This time it was involving colliding and falling through different time sequences as through thin membranes until I looked up and saw the way out from endless time travel and death. I leaped upwards and out as I awoke.

Fairies, boxes, dropping bananas, Navy women, Muammar al-Gaddafi, Lady Gaga, Foreigner dreams

Dream diary update. I really didn't want to continue my dreams blog. For some reason writing about my dreams felt wrong somehow. Most of the ones I've remembered took details from my daily thoughts and spun a yarn anyway so there was nothing else to study. Anyway last Thursday, Dec 30 before the MidwestI had a clusterfuck of winter tornadoes on New Year's Eve, I had dreams of green Nature and fairies. This was only days after another winter storm rushed up the East coast to kill 3 reportedly. There were other unreported East Coast deaths later from not digging out for hospital care. New Year's Day after staying up I had unmemorable dreams about manipulating cubes and boxes to construct things. I also dreamed later that morning about dropping things like moon pies and bananas for the New Year countdown. No doubt I just wanted to eat them but we didn't have any fruit. Sunday, Jan 2 I had sex dreams about horny female sailors and dumb officers after watching the college humor Captain Owen Honors Navy training video on Medialite Saturday night. Monday, Jan 3 I dreamed about my family in a sitcom with Muammar al-Gaddafi in military uniform. That dream was unusual enough to be premonitory but the only news about him this week is that Wikileaks cablegate has forced them to replace the US ambassador for some offensive remarks. Since my dream was really about my family I saw no immediate connection. Tuesday I had a dream about Lady Gaga music. No surprises what I was thinking about there even though it was mostly music, disco dancing, and partying that I missed and not really sex.

 

Just now I had a dream about Foreigner music, Cold As Ice, after spending the day Wednesday trolling Twitter for news updates on Climate Change, Flockalypse, and the 112th Teabagger Congress. I can only guess about which one of those 3 inspired that dream.

Gershwin, Porgy & Bess Suite, It ain't necessarily so

I fell asleep into a a peaceful nap at midday. I slept for 3 hours and dreamed about Gershwin music again. This time it was the snippet of Porgy & Bess Suite orchestra that I caught on CAS this Sunday morning. I was walking around a city full of nice folks and the music was moving everything. Nobody said a word.
They just smiled like friends and mimed things.
