i dremt i dremt (META-dept)

[dubdobdee]

i dremt i was by mum's parents old house in s'bury, but it had been knocked down and a large dark green house designed like a chest of drawers with windows built in its place

i started to text my sister to tell her the sad news, except i remembered that she was in shrops and I WASN"T, so this must be a DREAM i'm having

interestingly, i don't recall such a straightforward use of logic, reasoning and recent accurate memory to conclude i was asleep -- but i *am* reading a book about sleep science (very sceptical any versions of the possible interpretation of dreams); the book claims we never dream in such a way as to plumb ourselves into remembered facts from more recently than several days ago... NOT SO in this case, as i clearly responding to (a) actual fact that b3cky is indeed in shrops as of sat morn; (b) my own disagreement with some of this book's claims!

my sleep-thru machine seems to have been a bit rear-ended also: i basically had a sequence of abt 10 very short dreams, waking after each one... this was the scientifically pertinent one, though

It's weird how you can 'realise' you're dreaming, not always with logic! I've had some brilliant lucid dreams lately where I fly and fly, and then swim in the ocean and chat to randoms. Sometimes there isn't anything in particular that triggers the dream-knowledge, and sometimes it is logical 'that woman has turned into a Muppet...yep, probably dream).

As much as I think I can interpret my dreams quite easily of late, being yr garden variety anxiety dream, I think some are just the grebt subconscious having a larf.
