Dream Journal
October 5, 1997
Context: I was reading a book with aliens in it.
I was shopping in a grocery store when these really interesting-looking tall aliens gave me this magic disc. There were these controls all over the top front area. I gripped on tight, pressed one button, and shot up really fast into the sky. I was traveling rapidly through space. It seemed like a colored haze at times and then came together. I went to this planet that was supposed to be Neptune. I descended and came down in this area with trees near a red pond. It was red because it was saturated with tiny red motes. I glided smoothly over the pond and saw a tribe of dark-skinned nature people nearby. There was probably a slight awakening because the dream jarred and repeated with a friend coming with me. He overturned the disc and it got lost. We swam in the red pond over to a small wooden enclosed dock where we met two people like us, but who had been trapped there for many years. I flew out searching for the disc and my searching made tons of buttons and such appear but not the disc. Then a dwarf/elf flew by and dropped off a disc for me and the two others but not my friend.
Odd: My focus on the science fiction book probably brought me to a like-minded community in the astral, leading me to this unique experience.
My Waking Self: After the jarring from a brief awakening, I returned to the scene with “a friend” — it’s my waking self! The rote rewound a little bit and we can see the influence of the waking self on the same scenes. First, rather than gliding over the pool, we swim across it. Second, the “dark-skinned nature people” take on the form of “people like us” — people from Earth.
