This one was probably weirded out even more by me constantly waking up last night (I did not sleep well). <\/p>\n<p>Making an appearance again in this dream was a figure that I call &#8220;the girl in blue.&#8221; This person has shown up in so many of my dreams, and for so long (since I was 16, at least), that I sometimes wonder if her appearance in my dreams is some sort of &#8220;message.&#8221; In this dream, she had a penchant for spilling things. Like cups of soda. Don&#8217;t ask me why.<\/p>\n<p>Another feature of this dream was &#8220;hidden treasure.&#8221; We were on a treasure hunt; not unlike the one in that lousy movie &#8220;National Treasure.&#8221; But my dream treasure hunt was much cooler; involving, well, all sort of weird dream type twists and puzzles. There were also &#8220;bad&#8221; people after the treasure as well; there was even one sequence (late at night) where they came outside the back door to my apartment. My apartment was full of crap (as a result of the treasure hunt) so it was hard to sneak up to the door, but I managed to do it. In the end, a huge cascade of water came down the stairs and washed the bad guy away. As I said, it was very weird.<\/p>\n<p>I also remember dreaming about dreaming. These &#8220;dreams within a dream&#8221; had some meaning in the context of my dream-story; they contained clues to finding the treasure, I think.<\/p>\n<p>There was also a bit about canoing, a river, my dad, and baseball, but I don&#8217;t remember those bits clearly.<\/p>\n<p>One of the last bits was in a cafeteria, like a school lunchroom. The &#8220;girl in blue&#8221; was here, and this is where I found out about her penchant for spilling things.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I just wanted to write all this down before it gets lost to my flakey memory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes I think that my dreams are my real life; and this world is the real dream. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"webmentions_disabled_pings":false,"webmentions_disabled":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":3,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-571","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pimUj-9d","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":87,"url":"https:\/\/www.starkeith.net\/coredump\/2004\/01\/22\/dream-report\/","url_meta":{"origin":571,"position":0},"title":"Dream Report","author":"Keith Survell","date":"January 22, 2004","format":false,"excerpt":"Sometimes I have weird dreams.
