Dream Journal
August 3, 1996 @ 3:33AM
Crazy dreams woke me up. I just caught an early-night dream place that eluded me forever. It was a tall rounded hill with something like a tower arcology on top. There are towering heights and steep angles and hugeness. It’s a long climb up, like our Yosemite hike. There was a huge tree on the side of the hill. I got vertigo while climbing on it. After the tree is a lake. I’m frequently about three quarters of the way up the hill. There’s a stream and lush vegetation. There are houses and buildings all over the hillsides, separated by lots of fences and property lines. Each property is a different section, and I travel from one to the next. The smooth caves where I visit Bethany are here, on this hill.There are huge buildings and steel structures. I remember being here so many times!
and the town, tower, and stadium at the top.
Some of these properties I regularly visit, and I have routes up the hill that I repeatedly take. One route takes me up/across a huge tree that gives me vertigo, which leads to a property with lush greenery and a lake.
The way each property is divided into its own space but visible as a whole from outside is like an overview of the individual screens in the original Legend of Zelda game.
I’m walking down a busy road, and I see two short stubby people robbing two tourists. Then they turn to rob us. I have such a strong urge to smash their guns away, but Rebecca and I hold off. They take our money and as they turn to run, we move faster than possibility itself and throw them down, about to reverse-rob them.
In the high tower, two scary Oberlin girls see me and wave. I wave awkwardly because I don’t remember them. Then I accidentally wander into an Adams family reunion. I see my cousin David. We greet each other warmly. He notices that my interest is wandering to a guy there who is the inventor of DMT. I buy some from him, not bothering to conceal it. David is crushed and the whole family knows. I can feel their thoughts, their disapproval. It’s horrible. I find Joshua and demand that he follow me. . . . He does and we flee flee flee, escaping the scene with great emotion. We stop to chat. Then I remember acting crazy in a hospital room.
I catch Rebecca making out with Victor and I’m horrified. Remembering that Victor likes three-ways, I join in kissing them both. After a moment, Victor detaches and floats away. A thought form! I get angry at Rebecca, but only after returning to the spot, and remembering it. I push her and walk way ahead of her.
The land of all possible Benji fears realized? One by one, on the journey up the hill?
Arcology Hill: This is the first time I remembered coming to Arcology Hill. I typically dream in this location around 3-4 AM every night, and I don’t remember these unless I am awakened in the middle of them. Arcology Hill is an incredibly well-defined place that I return to again and again. I am always challenged in some way in The Tower with something disturbing.
Ultra-Fast Movement: Strong emotions along with the strong desire for justice caused us to move at impossible speeds to restrain the thieves.
Thought Forms: Victor was a thought-form based on my fears. You can tell because when I stopped paying attention to him, he just up and drifted away through the air. Was Rebecca real in this dream? Hard to know.
Arcology Hill — The Sphere?: Here I discover that every night in the early hours of deep sleep, I go to Arcology Hill. The hill is divided into small properties, each a potential adventure zone, though the overall goal is to get to the top.
Could Arcology Hill be the sphere of my mind seen from outside? In the sphere, every direction is a different topic of focus, a different star in the star field. The way the hill is divided into countless small properties might be a physical correlate to my mind sphere. See “Our Focus Within the Sphere” in flow-into-us.php.
