If you post, please don’t post long boring dreams, just the best, and keep it short.
The dreams I seem to remember are when I am close to waking up. Sometimes I can lay there, knowing I am dreaming and stay in it. Sometimes I‘ve had lucid dreams where not only do I know I am dreaming, but I can control my actions to some degree, versus watching a movie of yourself where you don’t have any active choice of what happens. Yes, for non-lucid dreams, your brain is choosing, but you don’t have any active control in the dream. My lucid dreams mostly happen in the morning when I‘m on the verge of waking up.
This was not a lucid dream. This morning I dreamed of living in a house, with palm trees out back, and I become aware of the 3 large bags of snakes up in one of the trees as if they are being stored or incubated. One has burst and there is a ball of large snakes wreathing over it and slowly the snakes extend closer to the ground. Note, this is not a nightmare, no anxiety. My desire is to capture these snakes, as I don’t want them to escape, there is no threat, I want to keep them, but I tell our small dogs to go into the house so they don’t get eaten. My focus is on capturing the prettiest snakes first, yes they are in color, but I don’t actually take any action, spending my time on a lounger in the back yard watching them.
The most interesting aspect of this dream is that it switches and I’m now at work on a base (I frequently dream about my Navy days) talking to a colleague about my dream with bags of snakes up in a tree and he seems interested.
Note, I’ve had several pet snakes during my life, one a boa and one a ball python.
