Purple Rain

"i had a dream i was floating on a cloud (cliche right). but this cloud was purple. i was floating above a tyrannical ocean. this ocean was swirling and bubbling like a pot of hot soup. it was shiny and sparkled and it seemed beautiful ...but angry at something. it seems to be aimed at me. the waves splashed upwards as i floated by. and i was heading into a darkness that seemed to be the middle. but me and that purple cloud held each other tight. and it wrapped a grey blanket around me and we went into the storm together. never feeling fear. we went into the darkness and found ourselves swept from side to side...but we held on to each other and endured. then we found ourselves in a shining light and the light carried us to a green rolling hill and then the cloud lowered me down and shaped itself into someone i felt like i knew, but was not sure. i embraced her and we rested there looking at the blue sky with a slow warm rain falling, we felt it but we never got wet. then she fell asleep on my lap. and i closed my eyes."

This is my attempt at deciphering this dream:

Jake is facing some issues that may normally be emotionally turbulent, but he has found safety and support in something, perhaps a prospective romantic relationship. He feels if he holds onto this, he will survive even the most difficult and depressing situations. He feels that when he gets through, he will be greatly rewarded and renewed, and reach inner peace.

Flowers In My Hair

I had a dream the other night that my hair was super long and tangled and orange, so I tried to cover it up by putting wildflowers on top of my head, but to keep them on I needed to hold all the stems in my mouth. It tasted horrible and they were gagging me, so I spit them out into the sink but I never got my mouth clean.

Tigger Hats and Ninjas: Part 2

Suddenly I'm at a dinner party in a fancy looking resturraunt. I see a ninja-looking guy steal something and run. I chase but lose him on the elevator. As I wait for the elevator to come back down I grab two long toothpicks and say, "This is all I need." When I reach the top floor I enter a hallway with red walls and various works of art scattered about the walls. Two strange looking guards (I realize later that they were pasty and skinny with nothing on but a skirt around their waists) come at me with samurai swords. I take out one by stabbing him with one toothpick. The other guard cuts my other toothpick and I bull rush him shanking him to the floor. I look around for a moment for the ninja-looking dude. Then two fat men come around the corner. I back up as they make threats. Out of nowhere I swing a raft that knocks out the smaller one and breaks on the larger one. He just laughs and pummels me backwards. I search desperately for a weapon, there the samurai sword. I leap up and dash around the fat guy and pick up the sword and a big case knife. He's already behind so I swing. I would of missed him and hit the painting next to him but he jumped in front to protect it. It dawned on me that the paintings must be priceless and he was willing to protect them. I backpedalled to the next painting and threatened to destroy it. He marched foward so a smashed it. He yelled batted my sword away. I backed around a corner into a white room that had a giant piece of paper with a drawing that looked like it was done by a seven year old.f I took out the case knife and pressed the blade against the picture. He rounded the corner slowly as he spoke, "What, you think that old picture is worth anything?" I pulled a chair from behind me and stopped him from getting closer. He reached for my neck but tore the picture by mistake. I stabbed him in the neck as he broke the chair gripped my neck. I kept my hand on the knife as we struggled to the ground. Eventually his grip became weaker until he stopped. He layed on the ground crying out, "My baby's picture." I picked up random plastic toys and threw them at him as I walked away into the hallway. The sun shone through the window and I heard that song "It's a Beautiful Morning" Then I woke up.

Tigger hats and ninjas: Part 1

It started when I appeared in a Winnie the Pooh show, or so I thought. When I arrived there were a group of animals that looked like Winnie Pooh's gang. (When I woke up I realized they looked different in the actual show.) I think that as soon as they saw me they went crazy, asking amongst themselves which character I was. Finally a small steel trinket of Tigger (a trinket I had seen on a friend's keychain a few days earlier) flashed before me. In unison the bunch yells, "It's Tigger." They then surround the one that looks like the rabbit and start asking questions that overlap. A couple of questions I made out were 'What are we doing today?' and 'Where are we transporting?' I had no idea what they were talking about. Suddenly I'm standing in front of a huge tree and the gang is surrounding it looking frustrated. One of them complains, "I wish Ira was here." (Name has been changed because I can't remember it.) I focus on the one that looks like the rabbit because he and/or she is looking suspicious. Finally it takes off an obvious costume and proclaims, "Ira is here." It then knocked on the tree twice with its elbow and once with its fist and a large door opens. As everyone cheers and walks inside the scene changes to a large warehouse with giant windows surrounding it. The clouds were just out side the windows. The gang and I walk around checking stuff out. I hear one of them say, "Damn." I laugh because I wouldn't expect a Winnie the Pooh character to say that. A voice tells us to go to the next room where there are hats waiting for us. Somehow I know we're on a mission of some sort. We got to the next room where there were hats that were half body costumes of Winnie the Pooh characters. I put on the Tigger hat and look in the mirror. The hat flopped lazily backwards.

This is probably the most vividly depicted and long dream I have ever heard. Part 2 coming up.

Family Affair

This dream comes from the depths of Carolyn's subconscious. Ali is her husband, Tylar is her son.

I had a dream that there was a criminal investigation being conducted on Ali for lewd behavior. He was going out with Tylar's 16 year old girlfriend behind Tylar's back. Ali denied it but Tylar's girlfriend admitted they had been seeing each other. I almost killed Ali! It was the most vivid dream.

The Glass Wall

I was walking in total darkness, this dream was in 1st person. I stuck out my hand and I touched a solid smooth object but I saw nothing but darkness. I felt around and it felt like a glass wall. I continued to walk toward it and I passed through except my hands. From my wrist to my fingers I couldn't pass through the seemingly nonexistent wall. I continued to pull for a while then walk back through but now all went through but my left foot. So now I'm on the original side but my foot won't go through. That's when I noticed a seam in the darkness. I put my hands on the wall and felt the line. I slowly pulled the line apart. It open to the shape of an eye that was about a foot across and 6 inches tall. Through the opening I saw my hands opening an opening which saw my hands opening an opening...etc.
But instead of darkness all around it was my room and the opening was my mirror and my foot was still seemingly inside the mirror. I then went into the opening and found myself standing next to myself looking into a opening, but the other one's eyes are closed and there are tears falling from the corner of them. I went to touch his shoulder and then everything distorted and I woke up.

Haha, wow Jake. Anyone care to interpret this one?
