Coolest dream scene...

I ejected from the earth and was soaring over a busy intersection ,.worrying abut a hard landing on concrete.. When I finally landed it was in a soft grassy lot, and someone was there to assist me (I think it was one of my friends.)

When I ejected it was a busy, noisy street scene. Where I landed was still a bit of a grungy city back lot - with iron fencing, but soft enough to break my fall. My friend was on the other side of the fence.

Such a metaphor for my life!

I often have dreams that I recall afterward. In a dream such as you describe, you may have been in an astral dream, one in which you can choose where you go and what you experience to some degree. I have had many of those over my lifetime, I have recorded several in a journal but I still remember them like I had them last night, even decades later.

If you find yourself in such a dream state again, try to guide your travel and experience by mentally or verbally defining where you want to go, you'll be there in no time and experience something amazing, at least that's how it works for me.

This will be in my subconscious tonight and I'm expecting something special! Yes, I do seem to have some dream awareness sometimes! Thanks!

you can choose, when you realize you're dreaming and you know you're dreaming. For me, a sudden feeling comes over me when I recognize it and I decide something rather ambiguous like "I want to go someplace amazing and learn something" or something similar. I have ended up in places I have imagined before but the experiences while there seem significant and the memory of them lasts forever. I don't have unpleasant experiences because that's part of my intent, to be amazed in a good way. That's not saying that I never have nightmares, I do and I don't like to talk about those.

I hope you have sweet dreams when they come again!

intrigued. I wanted to see what someone else's dream was about. I have been aware of my dreams since I was about three, I still recall a couple of them. I think of them as little gifts that come unannounced, well most of them are like that.

But I also have other experiences that would raise the hair on your neck with regard to disembodied beings. They are "there" and sometimes they like to meet some of us, it's not always good but some encounters are sweet, others are just kind of nebulous. There's a whole other realm most don't see, but it's there and so are the energies that seem to form into conscious entities. I don't know how to articulate everything I see.
