Weird dreams

Two nights ago I had a return to boot camp type dream.  I don’t remember much, but at one point there was a formation running by wearing different kinds of clothes instead of standard pt uniform.  For some reason this bothered me.  So I found Parnelli, who was our series gunnary sergeant and last I heard was a warrant officer.  I was debating how to talk to her, as she is quite intimidating.  She said something like, Marines don’t need to ask permission to speak, but I didn’t know the rules of this dream so I didn’t want to presume, especially when criticizing.  I told her that everyone being out of uniform made us look bad, we aren’t the army after all.  I don’t remember what she said after.  And it’s weird because I’ve never seen the army do that either, I think it was meant to be a bit of a joke.  Either way, odd.

Last night all sorts of stuff happened, but of course much of it faded.  What stands out is the lucid dream/astral experience.  I remember becoming aware within a dream and instantly getting scared, which I recognize as being the difference between astral and lucid.  Lucid dreams don’t have any fear elements, I’m just aware of watching.  So, as I’m trying to make sense of things I try to reign it in.  Part of me is trying very hard to get back to my body, but the other part is trying to take advantage of the situation.  I got enough control to try to stay, and actually I got enough to fly!  I couldn’t see much, but I could definitely feel the flying experience.  That was pretty neat.  I tried to get to my friend Andrea since if anyone would notice me, she would.  I don’t know that I got there, however, as my sight was really poor.  I also think I was low on energy as I couldn’t hold this state for very long.  Perhaps the part of me that was afraid made it back to my body and that kind of shut things down.  In any case it was quite interesting.

Maybe I’ll remember some of the other dreams later.  They’re at the tip of my brain right now but I need to get ready for Shayla’s first birthday party.
