ONE WISH...

Hi everyone :D  Sometimes I dream that I'm the opposite sex which is pretty neat.  So this time I was a guy, lol  (and yes, I do know it's me and not someone else).  

It's also in third person because I was watching the guy and events and not seeing it from my personal point of view. 

 

*Old Dream - June 2, 2015

*** 

I dreamed there was a guy (me) who was chosen to be part of an art show but didn't submit anything to be a part of it for whatever reason.

Then one day as he was looking through some art displays he came across an interesting one in the subway.  And it was interactive which got him really curious.  

There was a giant box with what looked like a set of subway train doors.  Behind the doors was a full colour digital display which changed up everyone minute or so (seen through the windows on the doors).  

Participants were asked to stand by the doors and watch as the display images rolled by (kind of like watching trains passing),  The scenes were always of four people sitting on a bench, but each time they were wearing different clothes, from a different era, there were even different settings in the background, etc.  

After a while a host-like man holding a microphone walked up from behind the display and told the guy that he can affect the display by opening the subway train doors and so he did.  There was a screen dividing the inside and outside of the "train" but he was able to move his arms through it and make the decision to walk through completely.  The host talked to the guy as he was making his motions, and also told him that his choices were very important and that while in the art world he could make one desire come true.  

The guy eventually stepped out of the "train" and saw the environment changed based on what image was on display :O    

He then waited until there was a scene leading to a mall grocery store.  The host asked why, and the guy said that if he wanted to live there (in the art display world) he'd have all the supplies he'd need.  And the other scenes led to inedible food so why go there.  

The host then told the guy that the art world was in trouble and was literally going to fall apart if the guy didn't help and that was why the guy was able to walk through the screen.

At first the guy was reluctant, but after seeing the sky turn almost completely black, start storming and feeling the ground tremble, he decided to help.  He was tasked to find a girl who could bring peace to the world. 

My dream then showed a montage of clips of the host taking risks to follow the main guy by going into another guy's "art world" experience, and interestingly there was a female voice over hosting about what was going on.

In the other guy's art world the main guy had to overcome purple/blue mountains, bubbling liquid ponds, and walking along slippery stone ledges; kind of like a contest setting. (A contest between guys who are picked to be potential saviours).

Back at the grocery store location, the guy finally made his decision and told the host he's ready to help the art world.  He then made a wish to go to where to girl was.  The host asked if that was what he really wanted to spend his one wish on, and the guy said yes.  

They were then transported to a place that was dark and rainy and there were people who want to talk to the guy.  

The people asked him why he didn't participate in the show as requested.  He said he had an idea but the desire slipped away but that he felt honoured to have been asked. 

The people also why he wanted to live in the grocery store and be away from the "real" world.  His answer was that he didn't want to face the truth that he might have lost his drive and passion for art.

There was a bit more to the dream but I forgot what happened, but I feel things got resolved in the end.

Thank you if you got to the end!  This was a long one, lol.  

Revisiting this dream makes me wonder if it was around that time (2015) when I began to lose the drive to create art for myself.  

I used to love drawing and colouring, and crafting like it's nobody's business, but as life went on, and priorities changed, my reason for creating art also changed from something for fun to something purely for function.  And I'm definitely not okay with that anymore.  

Maybe it's time I start creating for myself again, eh? :)

WISHES OF THE HEART

Hi everyone, the first part of this dream involved two characters from the show "Criminal Minds" (Derek and Garcia).  I'm hoping that even if you're unfamiliar with the show that the events will still be interesting.

Derek was dying (for unknown reasons) and forgetting about past events.  Garcia tries to get him to remember because she loves him, and supposedly he has also loved her before (more like a confession from the past) but Garcia knows/wants it to be true in the present time.  

* A couple of significant points (not sure why, but I felt it needed to be noted):*  

1. A slow song was being sung by a male country singer. 

2. A country-ish partner dance happening in the background  -  move to right, move to left, slide to the front, spin to the back and move to the right again to start the loop.

Alright, back to the main story now, lol.  I saw an image of Juicy Fruit Gum flash by and then Garcia being frantic because Derek collapsed and was dazed.  She then pounced on his motionless body and yelled at him to remember and to take the gum from her mouth and told him to say that he loves her:  in her words:  "Say that you love me!", "You have to remember that you love me!  Because I love you!"

--- A break while I wake up ---

Sort of continuation of dream, more people are affected by the unknown dying/forgetting condition.  Derek was still the main focus though.  

Shifting away from the unknown condition, the Olympics had come to Toronto and people were celebrating in the downtown core around the Eaton centre area.  

Confetti-like snow was falling from an orangey-yellow sky which made for a most spectacular scene and encapsulated the high energy atmosphere :D  Buildings were lit in a blue hue because Olympic ads were being projected from screens all over the place.

There were a lot of people in the streets making noises and cheering and then one person confidently said they'll make the whole area go quiet.  And with that, the guy whispered something to the people beside him who then whispered to those beside them and so forth and so forth until the whispering reached everyone.  To my disbelief, the whole area went silent within a minute :O  That was pretty amazing of the guy!

*** 

 

I had always enjoyed the relationship dynamic between Derek and Garcia in the show because they were so caring of each other even though they weren't romantically involved.  Though there was that part of me that wanted to see them together, lol.

As for the downtown scene, wow, I remember it so vividly even though it's been over 10 years!  To this day I still wonder whether someone could really quiet down a crowd like that.  What do you think? 

TO STAY OR TO GO?

Hi everyone, this is a short one, but I found it was quite the fun little adventure :D 

 

*Old Dream - May 4, 2015

*** 

The Earth was ending due to time/atmosphere (like it's too far from sun etc.)

A small group and I decided to look for other planets to live on.  We "flew" (more like teleported) to three different places to check them out but all of them were smaller than earth with not very much space to live.

Then we went back to earth to discuss ways to bring earth back to a safer/better distance from the sun (eg. Big rockets, explosions, etc).  Though the options all seemed too risky in bringing earth to an even quicker doom, so we just left it and went to the other planets again.

Time passed (like many, many years in dream time) and I decided to call a cell phone that I remembered was left on earth, and you know what?  Someone answered :D  I really didn't expect that since I was just doing it for fun, I really thought the earth would have been gone by then.  It was really nice to hear it was still alive in some way and people found a way to survive for so long.

***   

Reading on this again I feel like maybe there was another way other than flying off to another planet.  It feels kind of like abandoning my home especially after finding out that people were able to survive :(   

What would you guys do if the Earth was ending?  Would you stay and try to survive or find a way off to another planet?
