| There is a great passage in Voyage Of The Dawntreader where the crew of the ship rescues a very disturbed man who has been trapped in a place where, he tells the crew, "all of your dreams come true". The initial reaction of the crew is, "Let's go!" but the horrified man sceams "No! Listen to me! I'm not talking about your day dreams. I'm talking about your actual DREAMS! They ALL come true." It takes a moment for this to sink in, and then the crew sets sail in the opposite direction as fast as they possibly can w/o the captain having to give any orders. |

| I would like to try it for a while. Most of my dreams are great. Bizarre, but fun. Obviously, escape is possible, so I would want some tips on how to do that before I went in. |

| So what's the difference between intense dreams and really being there? They both have strong emotions. Maybe this is the dream. |

I had a very interesting dream last night. I was back at my parents house but they were not there and I was house sitting I think. My brother came over and asked it I could look after his kids for a few days and I said great, love to. I spent the afternoon with them just playing around like a normally do when I heard a knock at the door. It was two men I knew from my home Ward when I was a kid, I had not seen either of them in like 15 years but they looked aged accordingly. They wanted to leave their grand kids with my mother, Mom use to sit for their kids, but she was gone somewhere for a while hence me being there. They had two girls(6,7) and one boy(11).
So now I had them to look after too, but it was not hard as they pretty much took care of themselves. Night came and I ended up giving my niece and nephew a bath. Then I had to put them all to bed, I went into by old room that I shared with my brother and it was the same as it was back then only with two extra beds and much cleaner. Some how each kid got there own bed, the 11 year old boy ended up on the floor on an air mattress witch freed up a bed for me, but there was a lot of switching and trading to accommodate them all.
Finally we all went to bed, I was the last one and remember having to walk around and over beds in the dark to get to the one I was to sleep in, it was my old one from when I was a kid, I mean the exact some one with all the same blankets and stuff. As most of you know I sleep nude when ever I can so of course did so even though there were four other people in the room but they were all asleep and it was dark and I was really tired so I did not care. It was one of the best night sleeps I can recall to bad I was still dreaming, actually had a few other dreams during this dream. At some point I was woken by the six year old girl I was watching and she said she was scared and wanted to sleep in my bed. I was still half asleep but lifted the covers for her and moved over to let her in them went right back to sleep and other dreams. The same thing happened a few more times with the rest of the kids.
When I woke the next morning everyone was in my bed and everyone was naked. I could vaguely recall maybe three time I let one in but there were now six extra bodies in my bed. I asked my oldest niece when she got there and why she was naked, she said because everyone else was. I squeezed out from under them but that first girl was still on my back and I could not get her off. This meant I could not get dressed because I could not get my clothes on over her.
I made breakfast, still with the kid on my back and one by one the rest of them all came to the table and all still naked. So for the rest of the day we all stayed naked and did our normal things. I even took them to the park and no one there seemed to care that they or I were unclothed, or then I still had the kid stuck to me. She was awake and all but just would not let go. Really I was a great dream, a bit odd at times but fun and happy.
I woke up before anyone came back for their kids so I don't know what would have happened or how the parents would have reacted. I assume good as it was my dream and that seemed to be the trend.
One thing I would like to know though is what was up with me having a kid attached to me for most of the dream? She felt nice there so I was not really trying hard to get her off but I never did figure out why she was stuck on me. |

I had a very interesting dream last night. I dreamed that I was visiting my grandfather, the one who died this past summer, but he was alive and still at home; the place he lived for nearly all my life, and a lot of his. During our visit, it was a family thing, even cousins I have never seen before and probably don't exist where there, we went to a zoo; but that is a whole few pages unto itself and much of it is confusing so I could not tell you about it even if I wanted to. For the sake of time and my sanity I will skip it. The point was that during our trip to the zoo my grandfather died but it was OK because I think I knew he was already dead so him dying was not a new thing for me.
So we had a funeral and everything but oddly it was different form the real one we had, then my family all went back to his house to get our stuff as we had been staying there. When we got there, there was some guy taking all my grandfathers lawn furniture (he never really had any though) from his yard and even the trees and shrubs. He was trying to roll up the grass when we asked what he was doing and he said he was hired to clean out the place and replace it for the new people who had just bought the place. We informed him that we had not sold it yet as my grandfather had only died a few hours ago. Turns out he was at the wrong address, one house over so we had to put everything back in its place. I think that was my minds way of dealing with his recent death and review of his life this past Remembrance Day(Veterans Day).
After we got everything back to normal my family dispersed to go shopping or some other random things and I just went for a walk around the block. I noted how so many things had changed in the neighborhood since I was a kid. This awesome park was gone, tore down for an office building. I also noticed that if I ran just the right speed and set my feet right, I could glide over the ground. So I was having fun gliding to and fro freaking people out with my ability to levitate even though I knew I was not really levitating, just floating on a cushion of air. However it did not work so well on stairs to I had to walk up them to the old train tracks that went behind my grandfather’s house.
The tracks were in a small ally thing and everyone had really high fences. I climbed up one of the fences to get a better look around I think and realized I could get all the way back without touching the ground so I climbed from fence to fence and tree to tree on my way back and made all sorts of discoveries. One discovery was in a particularly large tree. I was maneuvering my way through it when I heard a woman’s voice ask me what I was doing. The voice scared the snot out of me because it came from where my foot was. I looked down to see a woman laying in a cot attached to the branch I was standing on. She told me to watch where I was stepping and to not step one or disturb her sisters. I looked around in the tree and saw that there were two other women also apparently sun bathing or sleeping way up in the tree branches and all three of them were nude.
I made my way to the next fence and found a whole bunch or lapel pins and knick knacks from a bunch or National Parks from all around the world. I was going to take one for my brother but thought it might be stealing so chose not to. There had been up there for years it looked like and there were a lot of them and they weren’t visible from the ground but still they belonged to someone who put them there for a reason and went to a lot of effort to get them up there so I felt bad about taking one. I continued on my way jumping, swinging, climbing and ridgepole walking back to the place we were all to meet before heading home. A cousin, that I have never seen, was holding a barbeque for the family and lived near where my grandfather had lived.
When I got there I met up with my family and was talking and mingling with them when someone asked what I was up to these days. I told them I was nearly done my environmental science degree and was hoping to get work for the summer in a Park. After I said that I was wondering why I said THAT, it was not what I meant to say because that is what my brother is doing, not me. Then I the cousin as whose house we were at started asking me all sorts of questions about Parks and the environment and I was thinking “How the heck would I know that?” but what I said was the answers to his questions, and as I said them I was wondering how I knew that? Then I realized something was off, I was not dressed the same as I was before and was taller. I saw myself in the reflection of a window and realized I was my brother. I still knew I was not really him and was trying to think back to when I became him but the details were not clear. I could recall being me in the trees but also did recall wearing hiking boots wand walking on a fence ridge so I must have changed bodies somewhere up there.
Then I was wondering if I am in his body, where is mine? And I started looking around for it but could not find me. I asked if anyone had seen me…or rather my sister but no one had. I also noticed my voice was his now. Then it occurred to me that there was no logical reason for me to be in his body so I must be dreaming. So I woke up
I told my brother that I had dreamed I was him last night and he said “No way, me too. I also dreamed I was me.”
I think all my memory is being used up in dreaming and not leaving enough for school. |

I had a very strange dream last night. I was ushering in the LDS Conference Center for General Conference--something I did for 8 years. All of the procedures were totally different than they used to be and I was very confused about whaty I supposed to be doing.
I then realized I had no clothes on and when I looked arount at the large crowd (remember it holds 21,000 people) I realized that about 40% of them didn't have any clothes on. Nothing exciting happened and that was the really strange part. No one paid any attention to the fact that a good share of us were nude. They just kept filing into the buidling and going to their assigned seating area.
Anyone care to interrupt this for me?

| I wish I could remember more of my dream last night. I haven't used my bedroom clock for a while and set the alarm to get up for church, not realizing I had neglected to "fall back" whenever we were supposed to do that. I went to pick up some investigators and discovered I was an hour early - 8:10 am instead of 9:10 am. Funny thing was, they were all ready to go at 8:10. They came out and started to get in my car when I noticed that my clock in the car said it was 8:10. I apologized and went back home and worked on my sunday school lesson for a while and then picked them up when it was really 9:10. With all of that excitement, I forgot most of the details of the dream I intended to share. I do remember that I was naked the entire time and interacted with many people in my industry, none of whom commented or acted surprised about my nudity. I was looking at some electric motors and other machinery with a friend from work who was fully clothed. In real life he is totally disabled from Lou Gehrigs disease and confined to a wheelchair and respirator. In my dream he was just as he was 20 years ago. Dreams can be so nice sometimes. |

I finally had a dream that I feel is worthy of posting in RWB's dream thread.
My DW & I were on a crusie ship--one of those really big ones. It was a C/O cruise. (for thise that know my situation, there is no way that my DW would get anywhere near a C/O event of any kind. That, in itself, should show everyone that this was only a dream!!)
Most of the passengers were nude (not DW) and a large part of the crew also joined in with us. A wedding was performed on board & all passengers were invited to partici;ate. The minister wore only a white collor. The bride only wore a beautiful veil. Ane the groom wore only a collar with a black bowtie. As at any other weeding, there was lots of crying from the families (some nude and some dressing in formal attire.) It was a marvelous wedding.
The ship was like a giant musement park with all kinds of rides, etc. We really didn't dock and go ashore at any ports--just sailed around the ocean and let us enjoy being nude and playing on the ship.
When I woke up, I told DW about the dream. Her response was, "that was not a dream, it was a nightmare!" Funny, she really seemed to enjoy herself (albeit, fully dressed) during the dream.

Maybe, just maybe, you were having an epiphany of the Celestial Kingdom... BTW... Why would ANYONE want to interrupt something like that?!!!
Just my 2½¢ worth... |
