Latest Dreams - Apr 7-10

 Couple of dreams I remember from this period: Staying with family (not sure which ones) at a rickety shack next to a rural road with a close cropped weedy lawn. There were gaps in the clapboard letting light & the elements in. It was uninsulated. The mood was sad. I put my baggage, partially unpacked, on a shelf as I was noticing the holes in the walls. Weather was cloudy cool with spitting rain...

Another dream was of my son, who is a late bloomer. I was watching a friend or two of his go through puberty, while he did not, and I felt desolate for it.

That's the fragments of memory I retain from my latest dreams.

1st week Apr dreams

Well, having been reading a book which pays attention to the subject, I have noticed that I do dream every time I sleep. The chemical scheme of the brain during sleep discourages remembering dreams, but with discipline, apparently this can be overcome...

Having said that, here is what I remember since the last post: I made out with a Hispanic lady. That's one dream. I also apparently went to Ukraine to help in the war effort, mainly by driving their trolleybuses about whatever city it was I wound up in. Ukraine is a beat up, run down country even during peacetime. This city was no exception. I spoke with the people in Ukrainian. I learned new words. Sadness pervaded the dream, which makes sense, given all the death and loss going on over there. I felt at times like I was going to cry. I know from previous  dream experiences that when I feel the urge to cry, it means I am experiencing apnea. I always wake up gasping for air in these crying situations.

That's what I remember.

1Apr dream

 This dream consisted of colored skulls on a black background. The skulls represented some sort of activity. If the activity represented by specific skull was high, that skull glowed bright magenta. Skulls with less activity were a darker cornflower blue. Some skulls exhibited both colors. The skulls were observed to be skewed at random angles... The entire dream seemed like the computer display of a hi tech scan one would get in a hospital.

A musical melody accompanied the dream, and I could hum it immediately after waking. I have since forgotten it.
