Peak Lucid Dream

(Thursday, November 9, 2023) waning crescent moon Libra / tarot Death

My dream this morning did not feel like a dream. I thought I was awake during the full event. I was very slowly masturbating and moved from bedroom to bedroom, in buildings separate and far from each other. Finally the orgasm came and I truly woke up. It was a strong physical sensation, but what was even more striking was the powerful lucidity. I never felt like I was sleeping.

Day notes:

According to Ryan H., sex in lucid dreams is common. I have not had a sex partner since Chris had his major heart surgery in 2011.

A River, Mountains And Clouds Observed At Our Airbnb

(Wednesday, November 8, 2023) waning crescent moon Virgo / tarot Temperance

A vivid, long dream full of details.

I am with dozens of friends and family members at a huge airbnb. The rental space is as large as some hotels, but the decor is more like a house because it is full of furniture, art, books and ornate decor.

It is time for us to checkout, so we are busy cleaning up and putting things back in storage drawers and closets. People are having fun and not working that hard. There is a burner on the top of the kitchen stove that I used incorrectly. It flamed for a few seconds but was not permanently damaged. I take a break and head outside.

The spectacular house is located on a beautiful hill next to a flowing river. Mountains are nearby. It feels like Montana or Colorado. Lots of folks are outside enjoying the gorgeous scenery. My brother-in-law Timm is relaxing. He offers his right arm to me and I offer my left. We hold hands gently as I observe the sky.

White clouds are scattered in the heavens but I notice that the sky is frozen, like a stalled element of a movie. As soon as I perceive the artificiality, it dissolves and the sky becomes real again. Clouds move slowly across the blue.

I walk back inside, to the upper floor where we have been tidying. An element of the dream has vanished for me, but I think it was about an odd communication device shaped like the clouds. I look at my friends and family and cheerfully say: “Hey, we can quit working. The owner will spiff up the rooms once we have left.”

Day notes:

I have had multiple dreams in the last year telling me my work is done. My brother-in-law Timm retired at age 62 because his family does not live long. I’ve recently been approached by three contract companies and they are very positive about my experience, but nothing has come of it. Like the freelance job working on photo-books that never transpired (thankfully).

Prescient: Black Wolf

(Saturday, November 4, 2023)

During my first night in Glastonbury (my 60th birthday) I dreamt of a black wolf running through my ancestral field. A few dreams later, he turned into a quiet, loving black dog. Recently I discovered that a black wolf/dog has been a mythological British beast since 1120. The church I visited with Rupert Sheldrake was that old. Most of the black wolves/dogs are menacing, like Sherlock’s Hound of the Baskerville. But the myth near Somerset (close to Glastonbury) is about a peaceful canine. Two years after I had been in England, my uncle provided me with family tree information. An ancestor from the 15th century had a mansion near Somerset and lived to be 100! I visited our ancestral land, but did not know it at the time.
