NEW Rule: No "DEEP" questions before I go to sleep
Just before I fell asleep last night, my partner asks "Do you ever wonder what you are doing here? What your purpose is? What life is all about? Do we just exist or is there something deeper to it?"

Well -- that set off a string of dreams that were loosely linked together..

I had enrolled in a college, went there my first day expecting to get a class schedule, but there were none available. By "chance" I overheard one student talking about a class I had signed up for -- so I ent to the classroom.

We were shown a small model of a little boat, on the boat was a glass box, inside the box we were told was a glass vial filled with sand -- (but there was no glass vial) -- then we were told to write a few pages about what it means and when the next class was scheduled. Class dismissed.

I went back out into the hallway and walked around looking for administration offices to get a copy of my class schedule.

I found myself at a sort of "carnival" ride where you sit in a car and it moves you past a fence. On the other side of the fence were people dressed up as ghouls and goblins -- they weren't in character and mostly just milled around talking to people.

Next, I was at a bar/movie theater looking for a seat, my partner was there. If I sat at the bar area, I would have to turn around to watch the movie and I knew that would just aggravate my neck/shoulder. So I told my partner that we should find a seat in the theater section.


then the alarm went off...

it was the typical who am I, what am I doing here anxiety dream... not sure what the little boat, glass box and non-existent vial of sand means.. guess I'll have to think about it and write the paper...

than anything else

really just free association

I had a dream involving a carnival that I can still remember. It wasn't good.

no meaning attached, other than I was listening to Bright Eyes really loud at the time

4. Do we really dream?....Or does our subconscious take a journey through
an parallel universe?
