After going raw, I've noticed a lot of dreams where I am building things, on building sites or using or creating things of high technology...

I get dreams of weird inventions like these...



Also I get dreams of extremely high technologies, like in Star Wars...

Most of the time, it's more mundane like being in the middle of a building site where people are working...

Perhaps these are representations of your enzymes and what they create...

Does anyone else get these types of dreams?

No, but they are pretty representative of your gender. I am almost certain now that you are a man.

Maybe but before I went raw, these dreams were uncommon, however I did still dream a lot...Now I still get about the same amount of dreams but they have shifted noticeably onto these types of dreams.

A house on wheels, I could go for one of those!

Those dreams are interesting!
I too get similar dreams....about complex engineering .
I once had a dream that I was a professor of a college class,and we built a small scale model of an old sailing ship.It had tiny people on it that were about 1/8" high and they walked about,and you could see people when you looked into the tiny windows all moving about.
It was great!

Great dreams, Kombi!

Sometimes when I'm in the midst of actively working to better myself physically --either through mental or physical means -- I will dream of being in a new house that's being constructed of really good materials.

Here's a really strange and interesting one I had a few years back. I dreamed of my friend Richard, whom I hadn't seen for awhile. He was strangely dressed as an angelic being in a white robe with a blue belt at his waist, and he was walking around surveying his 'house,' which was a little bit damaged in places, but basically okay. He looked very happy, almost blissful, and he seemed to be blessing each room of the house as he walked around checking it out. I woke up really wondering what was going on with Richard.
Well, when I talked to him a week later I found out he had fallen asleep at the wheel and had quite a car accident, and he was pretty shook up. He had broken a finger, but was otherwise okay, but he was very concerned about falling asleep at the wheel because of medications he was taking, and having plowed into a couple of empty cars. He realized it could have been a lot worse-- someone could have been in those cars. He was very nervous about going to court over the incident, but it was later dismissed.
I surmised that the dream represented his higher Self (he's a very spiritually oriented individual) healing his body and mind as he recovered from the trauma of the accident and its effects.
I told him about my dream, and it made him feel a lot better. It proved to me how much we are all connected.

My husband sometimes has very grand mythic dreams of being inside huge ancient looking temple/mansion/palace-like buildings with gold and marble and huge wooden panels and so forth, usually accompanied by spiritual beings and/or teachings.

I don't get engineering dreams per se, but I get very socially complex dreams that I never quite remember, but have an essence of, and usually I want to remain in that dream land. I want to explore them but am not quite sure how to do so.

Has anyone ever awakened within their dream-- i.e. had a lucid dream? It happened to me only once-- wow, it was really shocking! I was in the subway, and went up to a counter to buy something, and BANG!, all of a sudden for some reason I was totally lucid and 'awake' in my dream and yet at the same time I knew clearly that I was dreaming. It was really shocking.

Interesting.
I have had something similar...that in my dream I am aware of the fact that I am dreaming.
Is that the same?
And others,where I have had the same dream over and over,that during the dream I am aware I have had it before.Its almost like you are still have awake even though you are dreaming.
Neat stuff.

Brian

Sounds like it, Brian. When I was younger I had a lot of dreams within dreams within dreams too-- they were wonderful. That's where you keep waking up (often to an alarm or someone waking you) but then you are still actually dreaming and you awaken again, and you think you're fully awake again (but you're not-- you're still dreaming). Finally your real alarm goes off and you are awake in the 'real' world... or (insert Twilight Zone theme here)... are you really? */*

Ohh neat thought...that when you "finally" wake up.........are you still then dreaming.??
I checked out your soundclick site.
Very nice.
Your music sounds great for meditating.

According to nobel prize- winning biologist Francis Crick, our
nightly dreams consist of nothing more than hallucinations produced
as the brain flushes out metabolic waste. of the many arguments
that can be musterd against this appalling idocy, none is more
forceful than the life of Harriet Tubman. After escaping from slaverly in
1849, she helped organize the Underground Railroad and personaly led 300
slaves to freedom. Few history books choose to convey the fact that she
often relied on her dreams to provide specific information about where
to find safe houses, helpers and passages through dangerous territory.
Robert Moss tells the whole story in his book, Dreaming True.

I don't see why these theories are mutually exclusive.

I for one am pretty confidant in my experience that the former has some validity. and yet I'm also willing to appreciate that a mind not burdened by such material (or one that can somehow overcome it) might have the ability to receive universal energy in the forms of premonitions.

I agree with both theories. Some of my dreams are so banal and ridiculous that they're clearly just run of the mill 'psychic housecleaning' dreams. But every so often most of us have precognitive dreams that foretell important future events or give us valuable insight into current situations.

Dr. Crick would've disputed the possibility of your intelligent premises, anaken and kwan. Not the most, uh, intellectually munificent fellow, by accounts. Ah, the I'm 110% Certain People . . . where would we be without them?

A dream of smoking cigarettes in a bathrooom stall at high school means
you should find worthier forms of rebellion. A dream of flamingos nesting
in a red Cadillac convertible in the mist at dawn means you should expand
your ideas about where you might find beauty. A dream of a driver who doesn,t
use his turn signal means you shouldn,t follow anyone too closely.
A dream of baking a birthday cake for buddha in the kicthen of a ship passing
through the Panama Canal means your ready to upgrade your skill at expressing
generosity. A dream of wearing your birthday suit as you address an audience
on the subject of privacy invasion means you should never tell a lie if you
can bullshit your way through the situation. A dream of finding frogs with
six legs means that the next car you buy should get at least 35 miles per
gallon of gas. A dream of staging a drunken poetry reading in a run down
cafe bordering the interstate means you should develop "more zen
pride," the capacity for being proud about the fact that you have successfully
rooted out all false pride.

LOL! Bill, who needs Woody Allen movies when we've got you?!

OMG Bill -- me too!! Too funny!

I have had lucid nightmares as a child, and when I woke I was usually in the midst of a severe asthma attack. I know that I have some really cool dreams now by the way I feel as I am waking up, but I very rarely remember them. ;(

>I know that I have some really cool dreams now by the way I feel as I am waking up, but I very rarely remember them. ;( <

Sundancer, I have the same problem. Usually I can remember an intriguing tiny little snippet. Sometimes if I lie in bed and relax (almost as if I'm going to go back to sleep), and turn the way I think I was facing when I had my last dream, I'll remember more. But often, it's lost. I just get a 'flavor' of what the dream was about-- fleeting colors, or a sense of lots of people around me or whatever. Every once in awhile though, I'll remember everything and I write it down. I still keep a dream journal, and it's really fun to go back and read my dreams a year later, two years later...

hey riverhouse bill

making a birthday cake for buddha in the kitchen of a ship that is going down the panama canal??


WHOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I WANNA DO THATTTTTT!!!!!!

hey kombayashii

i dunno why u get those dreams
except that perhaps it is a clue
that the closer u get to the core
the more lucidly the geometrical perfection of nature
will reveal itself to you
even though they are buildings
perhaps they are just symbolic stand ins for fractals
that are the beautiful mathematical hallmarks of nature's astronomical synchronicities

if u have those dreams
consider that you are being

H
E
L
D

by the universe
in a smiling embrace

i had a stunning dream last night
it took my breathe away

if i were capable of weeping for joy
i would've

Ohh.
tell us about it.

Brian

ps. why do you think you arent capable of weeping for joy?

i don't know how to describe what i saw and felt
it was like i was looking into the eye of God or some god like deity
or maybe it was not even outside of myself
but within all living things
and it was animal
though i can't describe it
and it was moving and undulating in slow motion
and it had ears and eyes
and it was looking right at me
and its ears were like large sweeping lily pads
but its eyes were looking right at me
and infused with compassion and pure enlightened tranquil powerful joy

it made me joyful
and ... though

i am not capable of weeping when i am joyful

so instead

i was simply in awe

i woke up thinking

hmmmmm..... something or someone is trying to smile at me
and embrace me

at least that is what it felt like

either that

or the universe is trying to tell me that its core is truly benign and munificent

>... something or someone is trying to smile at me and embrace me... either that or the universe is trying to tell me that its core is truly benign and munificent<

LaVeronique--

I believe both interpretations, 100%. But I especially love your second one. :-)

hey thanks Kwan!
yeah, i want to always remember it
it is hard to forget
just thinking about it brings me to a different place
\all of a sudden it looks so beautiful outside

swimmer had a thread where he had a link to snowflakes

they are fractals, geometry and architecture incarnate
very beautiful


<<www.newscientist.com>>

snowflakes
in blue heat
melt the dendrites from glass water
30 degrees to each other
the crucifix tips
bend towards the iceless sun

Wow, LaV -- lucky you!!

I had fun showing the snowflakes to my little girl.

i was referring to the photos that swimmer posted on the snowflake thread
cuz people here were ssaying how they were getting dreams that had a lot of machinery and architecture and what not

and my guess is that all human made architecture is a subconscious striving to harness and express forces that are already inherent and expressed by nature
nature has so much geometry and is perfect


people's striving towards learning mathematics physics mechanics etc. is , to me, like trying to meld into the mind of God

whoever God is

so maybe a lot of people are dreaming about God

or a universal unifying force
