Dream Journal
December 4, 1996
I’m in space. It’s all hazy and there’s a sun off in one direction. I see a huge gray Star Trek ship go by overhead and recognize it as a long-forgotten probe. It sucks up the haze and leaves a trail of thick black smoke behind it. I know it should be destroyed, because the work it’s doing is not necessary anymore. I imagine throwing things or shooting rockets at it. The sky is clear now and the haze begins further off, looking like thunderclouds. Another probe goes by and I run in the same direction as it. I’m running over pebbles and water. I’m about to get to this lake with the intent of flying over it and I suddenly hear this swirling buzzing noise of some intensity. Thinking I stumbled across a beehive, I startle and wake up. I was probably about to go OB.
This was probably the same world with the lava trails. It was more expansive, and more room for movement and freedom in it, too.
Later: I’m in a sunshiny beachy area and my family’s around but I’m avoiding them. I experience big jumps down (100 foot drop into water) and cool sensations.
OBE Sounds: Notice that as I’m about to fly, the swirling, buzzing noise appears. The feelings of motion during the separation of the astral body is often rationalized as flying in the dream state, and attempts to fly may trigger astral body separation.
The falling sensations come from the astral body falling back into the physical.
Natural Transition: Here my focus forms the reality, and physical forms follow along afterwards. There is no rationalization or feedback from my waking self that this doesn’t make sense. This along with my direct knowledge of the probes shows that I’m dreaming at a higher frequency, at a more real level.
