On Dreams and Near-Death Experiences

Yeah, I edited that title for capitalization. Kinda defeats the purpose of freewrting. Ha! Didn't edit that one....

anyway, I recently told someone that I collect dreams, but the I realized my collection won't keep very well if I don't write more of them down!

Like a week or two ago, I had a dream where I was learning braille. And for a rather unusual purpose. But I can' tremember much bey9ond that.

I collect other people's dreams, too. And sometimes I interfere with them. Like one time, when a friend was muttering "No! no!" And obviously having a scary dream.
Or apparently anyway, if not obviously. So I decided to help her out and asked her "What's going on? is something chasing you?"
"Yeah."
"what's chasing you?"
"spiders!" (still sleeping)
"Here, take this magnetic flyswatter to fight them!"
"okay..."

A few minutes later she woke up. I asked her "did you have a scary dream?"
"yeah! How did you know?"
"Were there spiders in it?"
"yeah....How do you know that?"
"what did you do about the spiders?"
"I smashed them!"
"with what?
"A flyswatter!"
"Was it a magnetic flyswatter?"
"I don't know..."

close enough. I hope someone arms me with super cool weapons when I have a scary dream. In fact, if reality is just a layer higher than dreams, then maybe there's some way to materialize stuff from the realm beyond the reality we perceive........hmm..... But who or what would implement it?

That's not so easy anyway. Reality is made of denser stuff than dreams. It takes a higher activation energy to alter the material world than the immaterial one.

In other words, the manifestation of a thought into matter often requires a medium through which to communicate the (trans)formation. Often the process is begun by writing, but there are other ways.


hmmm....What is this branch of comtemplation called? Metaphysics?
