Strange Dream

[Sorlac]

This post of mine concerns a dream of mine I had a couple months ago.  This was originally posted on the Astral Dynamics forums, for anyone that is interested.  It's more food for thought than anything else, in my opinion.

Anyhow, the dream was a unique kind.  First of all, it had two levels of depth to it.  I was dreaming inside a dream.  I'll try to keep it clear below.

Second Level (dreaming in a dream)

I was at my parent's place, reading on the couch.  Out the window across the room was a view of the front lawn.  On the lawn was a pine tree (which isn't there in reality), the kind that is more cylindrical than conal that grows pretty much straight up (not sure what kind of tree that is offhand).  Anyhow, it was about 8-10 feet tall.  While I was reading, all of a sudden the tree spontaneously caught on fire.  Huge flames engulfed it for a few seconds, as I watched in awe.  After those few seconds, it went out and returned to its prior state, unharmed.  For some reason, the thought was placed into my mind that it was 'an extreme aura', although it was not what I actually thought.

What the hell was that?  I said to myself.

Then I woke up from the dream inside my dream.

First Level

I woke up and my first instinct was to write my experience in my notebook before I forgot it.  I can't remember whether I did this or not in my dream (which happens a lot, instead of writing it in reality).  It was a powerful experience for some reason so I was rather anxious.  Anyhow, I checked my email and a friend of mine had forwarded me a news article from cnn's webpage.  It said that a tree somewhere in the world had a flame burning above it for no apparent reason.  It was also a pine tree.  People were going nuts trying to figure out what was happening.  Cue religion fanatics, doom proclaimers, the works.

Awake (for real this time)

I woke up and made sure I was really awake this time.  I wrote this stuff down as quickly as I could so I wouldn't forget it.  The anxious feeling I had before transferred over to reality, although it passed after a few minutes.

That's about it.

nice dream !

btw funny that you write your dreams in your book, while dreaming
must be very confusing at times !

[Sorlac]

It's more annoying than anything.  Sometimes I write stuff in my book in my dream and think I did in reality, so I don't bother to check if I did.

Then later I see I never wrote anything, and now I can't remember the dream to write it down.  Bleh.
