So for me the ant and beetle thing was really interesting. Beetles are a sacred symbol of Egyptian lore – and Jung also writes about the scarab beetle that helped him out in a therapeutic intervention. So, the strength of the beetles may refer to the strength of intuition which is stronger than the “masses”/ants of conformity to cultural norms. But what was the homeless guy handing you????

Let me know what you know about the dream symbol of swarming ants – or better yet, what does your intuition tell you?

Thanks for sharing!

My friend had dreams about finding dismembered bodies ever night. But then I do worry he might be a serial killer.

I just always get chased by an evil sheep. On some stairs.

Somehow I wound up as POTUS (that would be a good thing for America). I was flying on Air Force One – sweet!

Dick Cheney was my VP – so that was cool. He and I can go shoot some lawyers in the face. Maybe he’ll tell me how to control the world’s oil.

I don’t need this dream remembering thing at this point in my life. I’ve done perfectly fine without it, thank you. Hope this isn’t a regular occurrence.

Seth – Thank you for commenting! I’m glad you were able to enjoy this rambling mess.

Kruiser – What a great thing to say about my dream writing. You made me , as usual. Also, I will be sure to tell my shrink (whenever I get one) your theory. I am sure he will agree wholeheartedly. -B’lish

Frank – Funny, and I completely know what you mean. Sometimes I can tell if I go back to sleep, I will be able to keep that dream and be more in control of it’s direction. I love that.

Igster – Thank you and an emphatic yes! to your question. I’ve also bit someone while I was sleeping. That story is hysterical.

Roger – Oprah was very down to earth and short. I didn’t eat anything weird and journaling your dreams is a good idea. Not only fun and funny sometimes, but you learn a little along the way!

John a.k.a Slugger – Neat helo dream. Darwin and I didn’t meet until the next night. That was when I crushed on him and he didn’t give me the time of day.

What happened to Darwin, his brain, his pipe and the books?

I did once have a dream where I was flying a helo, over Baghdad shooting down Migs. It was in color. But that’s just me.

I am so jealous, because maybe she’ll like my writing and make me a millionaire, and I can go and visit ALL of the Disneylands/worlds, etc.

Oh, and were you reading Starship Troopers, or maybe even watching the movie, before you went to bed? Or maybe ate some really spicy food?

I think I should keep a notebook by me, then my fluffy bunny stories would make way more sense.

Maybe.

I must say though that the Oprah part still throws me. It was all making sense until she showed up.

Anyway I’m curious, do you ever reach a point in your dreams where you sort of become aware that you’re dreaming? I rarely dream, but on a few occasions this has happened to me. Its almost as if the fact that I’m trying to do something and the “dream” is impeding me causes a realization of sorts. And once that happens I’m a bit more self-aware, and the dream is much easier to remember. It also happens if I awake from a dream, and then drift off again, right back into the same dream. Again, it rarely happens, but those tend to stick with me a lot longer.
