So I'm going to start to record anything I remember from dreams every day; I want to start lucid dreaming. Those are significantly different kinds of dreams-- it gives us an ability to see through the dream and recognize that we're actually dreaming. Being aware that we're actually dreaming can do amazing things in dreams.
Anyway, an exercise for lucid dreaming is to record anything you remember from your regular dream.
Last night~
1st: I'm looking at colleges with that mean girl Paris from 'The Gilmore Girls' (and, like Rory we do hate each other). When we each find a college we like, we enroll on the waiting list and go to a high platform of some sort. Eventually we discover that we want to go to the college each other has and we get in a spat and fall into individual narrow compartments where I guess we both surrender and Mr. Moesby comes and tries to get us to stop fighting (now how's THAT for an odd dream!).
2nd: My dad, me, a bunch of our family, and some random cat (I may have seen it around my dad's neighborhood) are in little closed-off cubicles, short enough that we can lean over them. We are talking randomly about random stuff and I'm not really listening. Then we're all behind a screen in this one little room talking to these guys who look like police, but we're not in trouble or anything like that. The cat is doing gymnastics on a ledge and we're all telling it to stop; I don't know why, a cat as a gymnast is pretty cool...
Meaning- Colleges and universities in a dream may be encouraging me to seek further info about a certain thing. They could also be prompting me to talk things through with wiser or more informed people. I don't know if my family and I (oh, and the cat) were imprisoned in that screened room, but if so it may have tried to reflect a decrease in my personal freedom.
