remember my dreams

This herb is used for a number of things, including intensifying dreams. It can be consumed, but need not be. The method I’ve heard about most often simply involves seeping with an open jar of mugwort nearby. Now to find some …..

I dreamed last night that I helped to kill someone. We hid the girl’s body at the bottom of a pool and then realized that wouldn’t work so we stuffed her in a big backpack and walked away with her. The whole time I knew we would be caught. I woke up thinking, “I can’t believe I dreamed myself in such a role!”

I’ve let my dream journal habit slip, and my dream recollection is noticeably suffering for it. If there isn’t anything more than fragments of dreams left when I wake up I don’t usually bother writing them down, but that’s dumb – patiently writing down fragments will almost always lead to more complete recollection after a day or two.
Last night’s fragment: I saw a marmot on a rock in a place where I wouldn’t expect to see one and I pointed it out to my friend: “see, that’s what a marmot looks like”.

i was recently told of an herb that one can consume or even just sleep in the proximity of that will intensify dreams. unfortunately i’ve forgotten the herb’s name. shouldn’t be too hard to refindout.

i wouldn’t have even remembered the herb thing except that i was just now told something similar about a stone – i was told that a bit of obsidian under the pillow will intensify dreams.

i tend to give placebo more credit than herbs or rocks, but i don’t feel any need to be scientific with things like this. if it works, it works.

I have started writing my dreams down and hopefully I will remember more dreams. The only trouble is finding the energy to sit up and write them down in the middle of the night. xD

I’ve known forever that I should keep a dream journal to help me to remember my dreams and to be able to do useful things with my dreams afterwards. But I’ve always been to lazy so early in the morning, so by the time my brain is functioning at a normal pace and I’m ready to pick up pen and paper I can’t remember my dream experiences.
For the past week or so I’ve been writing my dreams every morning, sometimes waking in the night and writing them then. And it’s working marvelously!! I’m remembering many dreams, with lots of detail, sometimes pages and pages! At this rate I’ll be LUCID DREAMING soon, fingers crossed!

This is the 2nd time within the last month that I’ve had a sex dream about Dr. Drew. Which I find odd. He’s attractive, but still.. Dr. Drew? What is he doing in my subconscious?

Also for the record, I’ve never been with a married man; I definitely do have trust issues with men & that’s what I’m sure this dream is about..

The dream: I had just moved into a loft in an old tenement building in NYC, in a scary area. Dr. Drew also recently moved his office into the same building. We were talking in his office about my real-life issues (he brought it up.. it was like free therapy). Also he mentioned that he would like to do some past life regression type therapy with me. I told him that I had read Dr. Weiss’ book, blah blah blah & he seemed impressed by that. Later, he came to my loft to “check on me”. This part of the dream was very, very hot. We almost had sex (unprotected sex), until I stopped it. I said something like “Whoa. Wait! You’re a married man. We should stop.” His response was something like “Oh, yeah.. Whoops!” I got out of bed, but then later got back into bed with him – except we both had the intention that we would definitely not be having sex.

any thoughts about what’s going on in my subconscious mind are welcome. :) here’s the thing: obviously I don’t know him, but I see him as being someone with integrity. It seems like the message in the dream is that all men are this way: people without integrity; people that can’t be trusted. I just feel like maybe I’m missing something obvious here. Or maybe I’m just overanalyzing.

I had a dream last night that I was engaged to Prince Harry. His grandmother (the Queen) hated me, but her dogs & the rest of the family loved me. I felt like I wasn’t good enough for Prince Harry & the rest of the family – I wasn’t good enough to even be there – I wasn’t royalty or wealthy, but Prince Harry & the rest of the family (except the Queen) made me feel like that didn’t matter – I was actually good enough. It was all destiny, so I should just relax & be happy.

also (the main focus of the dream), I went on a balloon ride over Australia – over that huge, red rock: Uluru. Except in the dream, the whole area was extremely high in the air (thousands of feet in the air) & it was a huge area exclusively for the aboriginal people. It was a huge honor that we (my cousin, Tracy was with me) could even be able to see this area; we were only allowed to do it because I was now connected to the Royal Family. I’m not afraid of heights, but in the dream I was completely terrified that we were so high up. I spent the entire balloon ride with my eyes closed. After the balloon ride, I felt mad at myself that I had my camera with me, but I didn’t take any pictures. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I missed out on because of fear.

I’ve borrowed a book from a friend that is a guideline for achieving lucid dreams. I was reading it two days ago and it said that folks generally wake up 15 times per night between sleep cycles, right after fnishing a dream. In this moment you can remember your dream, but people generally just go back to snoozing and forget their dream or that they even woke up. But for the past two nights since reading about this I’ve been aware of waking up several times (though not 15) during the night and I could remember what I had just dreamed very clearly. However I have not been writing down my dreams throughout the night, so by the morning I can remember only that I did dream and that I woke and thought about the dream for a moment – not the dream itself. Time to go on to step 2 … dream journal.

I dreamt that I met Joan Rivers (in some kind of warehouse or something) & I ended up telling her my whole life story. She was very sweet & down to earth.
