Meditation symbols, Multiple dreams. What?

Okay...

So, Before falling asleep I saw an image while meditating.

It was of a tree, stretching up wards looking normal, but the bottom of it, where one would expect to see roots was more like two large roots coming from either end, looking more like fangs, or triangles.

I drew a rough sketch above, of what it was similar to.

I also did some energy work, saw some more baby blue background colors, did some shielding with specific instructions on who or what was allowed in, I specifically said to 'let the dreams come' while doing the sheilding.

I had a dream about being at work, where Rosi asked me to stay til 1:30 instead of staying til 1.  Fun fact, I got out of work early Sunday, 1PM, instead of staying til 2.  *shrugs*

Another dream was me being at home, taking vitamins.  For some reason I couldn't swallow the multivitamin. I kept chocking on it, and spitting it back into my hand, and it was melting quite badly. I attempted to take it one more time, and it ended up breaking in my mouth into three pieces, and one of them lodged into the back of my throat.  I remember spitting out two of them, and feeling the last one lodged there, chocking on it.  Reaching back into my throat I attempted to grab it with my fingers.

I woke up, made a recording of the dream on my DVR, and then went back to sleep. 

The next dream was also quite interesting.  I dreamed that I stole my brothers lighter from his room, and took it to mine.  While I was there I smoked a couple of cigarettes then grabbed something else. It looked like this.

It was tied with red yarn, and was quite dry, smoldered quite a bit, but stayed lit when it was dragged on.

I mention that it is similar to the thing that I saw while meditating, but it wasn't have the pointed edges at the bottom, though the thing in the meditation reminded me more of a tree, where this is a bound bundle...

I was smoking these things in my room, and it was quite dark... I remember seeing the color of the flame from the lighter dancing across the room when I lit one of these things.  The cigarettes didn't have much effect on me, but when I lit the bundle it felt like I had suddenly drank a whole six pack of beer in short order.  Buzzed and or drunk, I remember getting up, and going to my door of my room, and looking out into the hallway, I blew smoke into the hallway and watched it linger.  I looked towards my parents room, and closed the door, noticing the light was on in their room, but only near my mothers computer.

I sat down and relight the bundle, and noticed it seemed to have some sort of leaves on the edges of the sticks, but not down into the base. I took a few more puffs, and then the door to my room opened.  I remember shaking the stick and watching the embers go out, the smoke waft into the air.  I put it behind my bed, and took a leaf from a tree and put it next to it.  The lighter was still in my hand, still lit, even though I had a hard time lighting it the second time and I remember hiding it behind my back, I remember seeing the light playing off my arms, and closing the lid to put it out, but never being burned, or anything catching on fire even though I remember putting it down on my bed while it was still on.

My brother was in my doorway showing me a rope that was seemingly chewed though. it was alternating yellow/orange/black rope.  He went to go show my mother, and her door was now closed and he just walked into her room like he did mine.  I took the lighter downstairs, and it was really dark down there too.  My father was sitting in his recliner in the living room, and said hello.  I went and put the lighter into my brothers room and left it on his tower speaker.

I also barely remember having a dream about an angel like figure being chased down for one reason or another, but also remember believing that it wasn't me that they were chasing... maybe I was watching someone else being chased?

*shrugs*

Of Strange meetings, and contests?

I'm not really sure which dream came first.  I remembered the one about the contest first, and the one about the meetings later.

The contest one is pretty straight forward.  I was in my room on my computer.  With a person that I haven't had any interaction with since probably... high school at the latest.

They were on my computer entering a contest.  I remember at first they entered the website wrong and the were complaining about it, but then reentered it and managed to get to the page.  The website had 7 boxes to complete and I remember one of them was saying about entering a sex vid, no shorter than 2 minutes. She blushed and turned the monitor away while she started answering the questions.  So I started to browse the internet on the other monitor... Though I remember distinctly thinking that it was my computer so that I would probably know anything that she entered anyways.

I remember running across a website and I believe I was distracted by something, and it turned out to be a gif page, and it started with Cris Hanson flying out of nowhere and then sound started to pour out of the speakers.  Even turning them off I could still hear it echoing in my head.

The other dream I remember was pretty strange too.  I was with another person, and I remember that a third woman had asked us to help her with her husband, My female friend left to do something and I remember that her hair was I believe black.  Whereas the woman we were trying to help had blonde hair.  My friend came back after some time, her hair was now dyed blonde, and she seemed pretty freaked out.  Seemingly this guy somehow managed to trick her or persuade her to dye her hair because he liked blondes more.

I remember that the one that needed our help sort of got the answers that she was looking for.

Later there was a larger group sitting at a round table.  A girl, the one with black hair approached me, and she said to me "I'm sorry I haven't been paying much attention to you lately."  She reached out her pointer finger on her left hand, and I remember grasping it with my fingers.  Looking down at her hands I saw that all the fingertips on that hand looked cracked, dry, or bleeding.  I remember putting my arm around her waist and hugging her.

There was also a scene of a three way somewhere in this dream... though it was more of a flash, I believe it had the black haired girl, the blond and someone else in it.  Me? The Blonds husband?

I'm not sure really...

Dreams of Home. Dreams of Luin, possibly. Meditation Visions, Oh My!

So, I had a few dreams last night, after saying that I hadn't been remembering any.

I was at home, seemingly alone, in my eldest brothers room, watching his TV, seemingly Friday night television, he wasn't home, but I believe Teddy, the puppy that my family has recently gotten was with me.  Overall the feeling of the dream was 'dark' but not 'menacing'. I believe that I had to take him out at one point... I mention in a recording that it was weird...

As for hat I did remember upon waking...

I had a dream about having a dream.  In the dream I wrote down a dream that I had about Luin in her attic.  There was a ramp going up and coming from there was leaves blowing down.  From what I could tell I was seeing though her eyes, and she was attempting some sort of ritual.  As she was doing it, the leaves were blowing around her, like a cyclone of some sort. If I had to guess they were comming out of a broken skylight or something similar.

I was writing these details down on a piece of paper using a pencil in the dream that I had.  But it was like remembering a dream within a dream.

Also while I was trying to fall asleep I had a vision of a snow embankment.  Sitting in it was a head. As I watched it, it slowly melted down into the embankment until it disappeared.

In other news... I'm still sick, called my doctor and he wants to continue the medicine I'm on now, and wants me to stay out of work for a few more days, Rosi, my assistant manager isn't going to schedule me until Friday of next week.  Bless her.

Dreams from the nights of the 16th, and 17th

Lets see, night before last.  I dreamed that the fish case was stocked with some fish, but mostly lemons... and also about a packet of pills, starting with a Z, the thought I had upon waking up was either anti-depressants, and with just asking a friend about those sorts of things they said either Zoloft or Xanax.  One is an anti-depressant, the other is an anti-anxiety.

The other dream from that night was a bit longer.  I was looking for books... Some of them seemed to be strategies for Starcraft, to be precise, Zerg strategies. I also found a fantasy book set in the Starcraft universe, also about the Zerg.  I was in a bookstore looking at these things, and then found myself in a garage of some sort, and up in a second floor window, outside was the guy who owned the books.  I was thinking about how I could pay him, when he was up there and I was down here...

Somehow I ended up finding one of my coworkers, Megan, and her boyfriend Adam.  We were talking, though I don't remember about what, and I put my arm around her, while Adam was watching.  He didn't react and somehow we ended up in a three way hug.


Last nights dreams were not quite as.... pleasant.

I was at work again.  I was near the trash compactor, when I started to hear this clinking sound, one bit after another.  I backed away from the entrance to the machine and watched as something resembling a sword came out of the opening, followed by another.  I backed away from it and into the grocery back room proper.  I turned away from the spider like creature made of metal and looked around me.  The back room was in chaos.  As I watched one of the larger power jacks was surging forward on its own, while an associate that works there was struggling to stop it.  He lost control and let go of the machine.  I ran forward grabbed the control stick and held back on the accelerator. It pitched back and forth as if it was struggling to move forward and backward at the same time. 

One of the grocery personal looked at me when I grabbed onto the machine, and yelled out "I don't think you're authorized to use that machine!"

I looked at them in shock, then flipped up a button on the machine, and flipped the switch to an off position.

---

I then found myself outside, walking home.  All around me where rolling hills, green as far as the eye could see.  Close to me was another Market Basket, and in the distance, trees dominated the landscape.  Walking past the pathway that led up to the store, I observed 3 individuals walking along the paved path. I looked past them and continue along my path, watching as one of the three dropped behind them, two walked in front of me and with a slightly faster pace move away from me down the path.  the one behind me ends up tapping me on the shoulder.  Turning to look I see Nick, someone I used to work with at Market basket.  I then notice that I'm still wearing my deli uniform and Market Basket ballcap. 

"Hey Nick, long time no see..."

"What are you talking about you just saw me a little while ago..."  He replied.

I think back to the last time I had seen him, and realize that he is correct. (This is not true in reality however, but somehow was in the dream itself."

Walking along we chatted for a while.

-----

I found myself in a house.  It reminded me alot of my grandparents home, except looking though the windows in the kitchen you could see into the backyard, which there wasn't such windows in their home.  I could see a pool where the bedrooms should have been, and past that what looked to be a glass room further down, lit up.  I saw my mother in the kitchen area, and she said that we would be staying two weeks.  I thought to myself how I didn't bring any clothing, and how I wasn't even dressed to use the pool, when I looked down at my clothing to notice that I was wearing a pair of orange swim trunks (which I own in reality) and a black t-shirt.

Walking outside I now saw that everyone I had seen outside had left, except for my father who was in the aqua-jet portion of the pool. I jump in and swim around a bit, then when I'm looking to get out I see that I'm supposed to put one leg on the edge of the pool and pull myself out, that there was a graphic on the edge of the pool showing this method.

My father, was standing there and then for some reason the entire pool changed.  Its no longer an underground pool, but an above ground one.  The water itself didnt' change levels, so I'm standing in ankle deep water, and he shows how you can "open" the side of the pool, the water that was there stayed there and I step out onto the grass.

Then I woke up.

Dream from last night

This was bit of a strange dream...

My first reaction upon waking was "I had a dream where I interacted with a ghost." Followed by "I also dreamed I was spitting chickens in the Dairy cooler, and was talking to Brian. I got out before Kevin got in there, so I didn't get yelled at"

"I had a dream where there was a bunch of tiny blimps flying around, trying to destroy a city"

I also dreamed that I had attended some sort of party, I think with Kacie, one of my co-workers.  Kevin was playing the piano, I think one of the things I had put down in my dream was my digital voice recorder.

We somehow found ourselves outside, and Kacie saw something though the trees which frightened her.  I looked through the trees and saw something moving though it.  I think that is where I got the "I interacted with a ghost" part.  But upon looking though the brush I though it was nothing.

"Something glowing yellow is haunted"  Was something that was said to me in the dream, maybe by the 'ghost' figure in the brush?  I think that somehow Sex played a role in my dream again...

I ended up going home with her, and the next morning find the devices.  I had the tail end of the performance, from multiple angles, watching people singing, dancing, making music, and I seemed to have the very beginning of the evening, but it was set to start playing at the end.

The device ended up being my brothers, and he had all the passcodes to access the data on it, and I remember wanting a copy since it would also probably have me having sex on it..

Dreaming of Haunted Houses.

Slept pretty well last night.  Didn't wake up at all.  Though I did have a few interesting dreams.

I dreamed that I had watched a movie based upon a 'true haunted house story'  It seemed pretty realistic, where the family was terrorized by an unseen entity.  Later, It was almost like I had moved into the house that was in the movie.  I remember thinking "I wonder if my parents know that this is the house from the movie."

I wish with two younger kids, as well, and I was walking though a hallway with them.  One of the rooms, was in shades of gray, and in the far corner there was a stuffed bunny.  The young kid, who had a full head of blond curls (something akin to what I myself looked like when I was young, I suspect.), turned to look into the room and walk into it.  I stopped them... Instead the stuffed rabbit came closer to us.

The other dream that I had was about me at work.  I was with a couple of coworkers, and I remember one of them stuck some labels onto my back.  I noticed that none of us were wearing our work attire, and I looked at the bottom of my shoes, Shannon took a rubber stamp and stamped the bottom of my shoe.  I found my jacket in the trashcan a bit afterwards, and I remember reaching behind my back and removing the labels.

I woke up after that.

Strange Dream

I was heading though the woods, going home, over the gnarled roots.

I could hear someone talking about the humidity, about how it was supposed to be 90 degrees out, but there was snow on the ground.  I remember picking up some snow as I moved, and exited the wooded area into a beach area.  I remember throwing the snow into the lake, which was partially frozen.

I entered though a sliding glass door.  The floors were made of wood and my boots where melting all over it.  They had mud and sand all over them.  I cleaned up after myself using a towel, and from there walked into the kitchen.  My mother had a bowl and a plate, my father had a bowl, and I believe there were two more bowls on the table.  I grabbed three more plates.  They were square, and white.  and I grabbed some of the food for myself.  I believe they were dumplings with some sort of sauce on them.

I remember thinking that I should get some for my brother, who currently lives in Medford.

I remembered another dream, or a part of the first, a bit later.

I was with a group of people. One of the other guys was saying about how a Dodge Charger (it might have been Challenger however) would be a nice car, and it seemed like he had alot of money cause he was talking about buying it.  I remember walking up to someones car, knocking on the window, and asking if I could get a ride from them.  They said yes.

I think that I actually had the part with the cars before the one about going though the woods, like those events led up to me running though the woods. But it honestly felt like I was running from something, for one reason or another.

Another dream.

Last night I got to meditate again, for the first time in a while, did some grounded meditation, but got interrupted by what sounded like footsteps on the landing in front of the bathroom.  Clearly the most logical explanation would be the house settling, but it was still odd..

I woke up around 9 remembering the following dream.

I was walking with my friend Keith from college.  He was talking to an Asian girl asking if they could meet up later, but it was becoming clear she was having a hard time understanding him.  He finally just asked he if he could grope her, and I laughed.  Chantal from work said to not encourage him, but I was still chuckling.

I found myself in a house, or apartment building of some sort. I believe with my father.  He pulled his bed away from the wall, and un-tucked some of the blankets because it was too tight.  We somehow decided to go into the secret room, and attempted to find the hidden door.

The wallpaper in this room looks excactly like the wallpaper in my parents room in reality.  As we opened the door, I saw it rip, almost like the paper was over the hidden door.

We went into the dusty dark room, and slowly looked around.  Sitting in the center was a table on top of which was a statue that looked like an angel figure.  I continued to wander about, and came across a table.  Sitting on the table was two vials 3/4 filled with water, and floating in the water was spices of some sort.  I remember picking it up and looking at it, and hoping that I wasn't disturbing something.

Later in the dream I was in the house with the Asian person from before, and it seemed like they were living with us.  I remember thinking about warning them that the house was haunted.
