Here are a couple of hypnopompic dreams.
------------------------------
THE DREAM I awoke from a short dream to see a very small UFO at the
bottom of my bed. It was spinning around. It was as real as anything I have
ever seen. It then disappeared.
THE REALITY The previous night the dreamer had been watching a program on
psychic activities.
------------------------------------
THE DREAM It was not do much a dream as a vision. I woke and the hypnopompic
like state stayed with me. Its a slow vision like state. Its not a dream but
its definitely not reality either. Its sort of a mixture of the two. Here's
the vision
I am watching a native American . He is slowly adjusting his clothes. He has
various bits of decoration on him. The moment seems to last for a fairly long
time. Then the native American suddenly grows a palm tree onto his left leg.
Or more precisely his leg changes into a palm tree trunk Then he picks up
a bow and arrow. I then walk to him and take his arrow and place it in his
bow. We then fire it together. The arrow shoots out towards some deer type
creature. The creature captures the arrow in its mouth almost as if is kissing
it. The deer type creatures then grows horns and becomes a magical kind of
creature. It flies up into the air and suddenly the scene changes. The deer
/ magical elk type creature has now become a fair ground ride. It is moving
around in those carousels.
Next I have a spear and I am stabbing something. Its a kind of meat. Its flesh
and cutting it open. I am enjoying gorging myself.
Next I am Rik Waller ( that's a failed pop singer btw - he's known as the fat guy in Britain's version of Pop Idol. He is asleep on his front. His arms and legs are stretched out wide in a random way.
Then I see the clock. Its somewhere between 7.40 and 7.44. Next I am looking out over a glorious ocean. The waters are calm and still - I think it looks amazingly good. The beautiful still waters. A wonderful Erie sense of calm and tranquility.
The dream as I say what not fully a dream. This was more like a stream of consciousness. I was awake but there was a druggy type feeling - I felt as if I was still experiencing a dream. Especially in the early parts. I experienced hallucinations. The feeling of hallucination eventually wore off the longer the vision went on. I had not taken any drink or drugs so it was not induced by that.
THE REALITY This dream was one of my own dreams. It came
as I had just finished a computer program which was designed to help understand
dreams. You simply type in the dream text and then every symbol which appears
in the dictionary is displayed. The dream was inspired by this.
The deer was symbolic of dreams and their elusive nature. But here the deer
swallows the arrow on purpose symbolising the way in which the understanding
of dreams becomes less elusive because of the computer program.
The carousels symbolised the way in which this subject of dream analysis had
been reduced to something akin to a fairground ride.
Rik Waller sleeping in such a fashion reminded me of how I woke up. He was
on a reality show and was pictured sleeping on his front.
Flesh and meat are symbols of opening up and understanding a subject. At this
time I felt as if I was truly starting to understand dreams.
The dream captured the sense of achievement attached to this new computer
program. It was an amazing dream in the sense that it lasted for literally
an hour. The dream finished yet it continued. It was definitely not reality
yet it was definitely not a dream as I had woken up.
