Dreams, everytime I try to rest

Kei Nakamura · Post by **Kei Nakamura** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 2:46 am

I have recenty began to dream, as dreams are not familiar to me this in and of itself is odd.

I dream of a great wheel, enscribed with runes of unaparaleled complexity, I dream first of this wheel in a place of ice and snow, then under blazing sands, then exposed to the howling winds of a place so high the air is painfull to breathe.

The sun breaks over a dolmen, then shines down a very deep shaft onto another such wheel, the wheel at the bottom of the shaft has images of teh others set equidistant around it's edge. Fear, something I have not felt for many years, sweeps over me, only to be soothed away by a familiar voice. "Nakamura Kei, you will be ready, and when the time comes you will not be alone." what follows I cannot seem to dredge up to the concious mind, but I always wake sobbing from these dreams.

Such a loss of controll is most disturbing, feeling the need to tell others of it, even more so.

Does this remind anyone of that funky seal thing we had to close to stop the end of the world?

Yes.

Didn't we already know there was more than one?

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 12:43 am

Again yes.

Let's just hope these are bad dreams.

I think that's the whole point, GS.

Just saying it out loud.

Don't get me started on unusual and unwanted dreams.

Well you don't have the market cornered on Strange Dreams Ron.

I just wish all my strange dreams had been mine.

Yeah, it is not fun to have your dreams Hi-Jacked.

Well excuse me. :lol:

You keep this up, Shad, and I'm gonna have to smack you first thing when you get back.

Don't know why I bother, I will go to some other "professionals", who will not turn my distress in to a joke.

Bad enough I revealed such a loss of controll, but to have it made into a joke is intolerable, I will not be making the same mistake again, you people are no different than the section heads at Todai, not to be dealt with or spoken to unless it is from a position of power.

I suppose it is a small price to pay to have reveale dwho my friends are, and more importantly, arent.

I am not joking about or ignoring what you said, it is just that I am unable to piece anything together that may be useful to you. Having had dream visions myself, I would say be careful because they don't always come true nor do they always mean what they seem to. Both of these comments really don't answer any questions and quite possibly just create more for you.

Is there anything else that is familiar about the dream? Have you tried sketching things you remember from it. Sometimes that helps me figure things out. Occasionally some of the imagery would match things in the waking world, even things I have never heard of before.

Which leads to my next question, what is a dolman? I have never heard of such a thing before.

Know what, Kei? I'd LOVE to help you! Here's what I'm getting:

Wheel- represents completion, closure: something that began long ago will finally come to an end.

The single wheel- represents the one controlling these events, one in charge of all: someone is manipulating a situation to progress their own means.

The sunbeam- spiritual illumination: the one causing the events shall come into the light, or shall be revealed.

As for the message, take it to heart, because it seems when you're in need of them, help will be there with you. Maybe you have more friends here than you're thinking, huh?

As for the dream itself, it's no loss of control, it's a message meant for you. Don't go getting all down on yourself, all right? That's why we're here, to help.

Hmm a very good take on the images of the dream Angel.
Kie I have no doubts about the validity or the import of your dreams. Particlarly seeing as you had more contact and exposure to the seal than most who were there. So you do have my attention, but the fact is my attention is split at this time. I will do what I can to help.
As for the rest The jokes are not aimed at you or your dreams, and are I think merely a method many here have adopted so as to better cope with some things. And is not meant as disrespect to you.
So I ask you to please calm down, and tell us any more that you can. For we are listening.

What Shadow says is true. Many of us here fall back on humor when distressed, and said humor is meant in no way, shape, or form to insult or belittle the concerns of others...

I, myself fall back on this defense frequently... Whether or not it's helped me thus far, I really can't say, but it's something to hang on to, some small comfort in the middle of a bad situation. Kei, I don't doubt what Shadow says for a second in terms of the joking, and neither should you. I don't have any experience whatsoever in dream interpretation, so other than trying to ease the situation somewhat, I don't really have anything to add.

Good luck with the dreams.

Kei... At this time, I can say that these are most probably not "just dreams"... I don't know whether they are messages from spirits, you seeing the future (or the past), or what, but I, too, have been suffering from strange dreams of late.

The past three nights, I've lost sleep over strange nightmares... This, in and of itself, isn't terribly odd; what IS odd is that these nightmares have all lasted several hours, and I awaken remembering *every last detail* of what I just dreamed... None of these dreams are prophetic, but for me to dream in this manner tells me that something is most assuredly up, and those of us receiving any form of odd or prophetic dreams at this time definitely needs to take them seriously.

...At least, I hope to all that's holy that none of these dreams has been prophetic... They didn't feel like prophetic dreams, but I suppose one never truly fully knows...

Concrete_Angel, KonThaak, I require assistance, I need to speak with an old friend, one who I wish I had treasured more deeply when he was here. He has always known how to set me at ease, almost at peace even. Am I correct in assuming that the two of you are capable of arranging such a meeting? And if so, would you be willing?

Bert_the_Turtle · Post by **Bert_the_Turtle** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 2:11 am

If you speak of who I think you're speaking of, give him my regards when you speak to him. I never got to know him in life as well as I wished.

KonThaak · Post by **KonThaak** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 7:14 am

I can help you with that, but you need to be here...

concrete_Angel · Post by **concrete_Angel** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 2:32 pm

Just let me know how, and I'll do whatever I can to help you out. Just tell Shadow about it, otherwise he'll start to throw a hissy-fit again, just like Chicago.

Shadowstalker · Post by **Shadowstalker** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 3:07 pm

Angel you were, and are under my protection, if you had told me you wanted to go meet KT, instead of trying to just sneak off, I would have helped instead of the situation we had.
Thou it did force Will to come clean about a few things.

concrete_Angel · Post by **concrete_Angel** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 7:49 pm

Hey, Will's like me. We're introverts.
So does this mean I've got a vacation coming to me now?

After all, it's for such a good cause.

Kei Nakamura · Post by **Kei Nakamura** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 8:16 pm

KonThaak, Angel, what is the best time and place to meet? I am in Chicago right now, and I am considering extending my lease on this warehouse for a few more months, so I might actually be in the neighborhood for a while.

Ron Caliburn · Post by **Ron Caliburn** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 9:33 pm

So the dreams are contagious?

That's a pleasant thought.

KonThaak · Post by **KonThaak** » Thu Aug 23, 2007 11:05 pm

I hope that warehouse is still standing after the weather we got today... I hope Willie's doing alright, too. we had tornado warnings, heavy thundershowers and storms, high winds, the works... (For the benefit of those who don't live in this area.)

We've been getting so much rain, I'm worried about it drowning the entire area. The mosquito count is worse than it's been since my parents' generation, according to an elderly couple I delivered to, tonight.

At any rate, your best chance at catching me is on weekends, Kei...
