Speaker 1 (00:00):
I gotta get you out of my system.
I gotta get you off of my mind.
But how do I move on when noone compares?
They only keep me occupied.
I try to shake them off sodesperately but you pull them
(00:24):
tighter, string me along.
It's sad, but I'm so gone.
And how do you do it?
Live with yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hey guys, I just want to take this opportunity to say
that we have been doingpodcasts for one year.
Can you believe it?
Yay, yay, for one year.
Can you believe it?
Yay.
I honestly have to probablylisten to all of it to remember
what we talked about.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Do you feel that way?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, I don't remember a thing, yeah, yeah,
just the last topic and then theone before, maybe, yeah, Well,
hopefully we have talked aboutinteresting things and we can
look back on it at some point orre-listen to it again, if you
ever listen to them.
So today I think we're going totalk about dreams, maybe before
we dive into how we decided totalk about this, do you guys
(01:18):
ever dream and remember in themorning when you wake up?
Because, personally, personally, I know I have dreams.
There are days when I rememberand I know that dreams happen
during REM cycle.
But oftentimes I'm thinkinglike, oh, I gotta tell, like you
know, my husband about thisdream that I had, but then, as
(01:40):
the day goes on, I can'tremember what it was oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
That happens to me all the time, where I remember
when I wake up and I'm like oh,I got to tell this, this is,
this was a good dream, and thentotally escapes your mind and
then a week later it's like ohyeah, that was the dream.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, but isn't that interesting, though, like for me
, mostly it's.
I dream about things that don'teven make any sense, and I
think it's common yeah me too,yeah me too.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I morph into things.
Sometimes People morph intoanimals.
Or people's genders change orthey totally change.
Their races change.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I can speak Spanish fluently in my dream.
What?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Are you serious?
You're probably not speakingSpanish.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I am.
Sometimes I speak English Well,most times I speak Japanese in
my dreams now, but sometimes Ispeak and understand Spanish.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Wow, that is also interesting that you have dreams
more frequently.
I guess that makes sense,because you're using it every
day in Japanese In Japanese yeah, so do you think it's Spanish
because you have taken Spanishclass?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I don't know.
I don't even know if it isSpanish.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I think it's just a made-up language but your brain
is processing it as Spanish.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's gibberish it probably is I know, but wouldn't
it be great though that you canactually speak Spanish like
that?
Yeah, I know, but wouldn't itbe great though that, if you can
actually speak Spanish likethat yeah.
There are a lot of things thatyou wish that you could do in
your dream, that you reallycan't do?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Oh my gosh, I can fly in my dream, which.
I love to do.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I can only fly up straight up and I have to be
looking up and, like you know,moving my arms up and down, like
I have wings or something.
I don't have wings and I canonly go up, I can't go forward.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And then I can go up so high.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
If I keep focusing, you know, at the sky, I can
reach the universe Like my.
The speed goes up real fast.
I've been to the universemultiple times in my dream but I
can't go forward.
That's weird Like I can timesin my dream, but I can't go
forward.
That's weird Like I can, but ittakes me so long, it's so slow
(03:54):
like in slow motion.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So I just go up instead and then come back.
I can come back down too, okay.
So when you're in the universe,do you go in like do you land
on another planet?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
No, no, no, no, I'm floating.
No, I don't see other planets,and sometimes I see stars and
sometimes I don't see stars.
One time it was so scary, Idon't even know how to describe
it.
It looked like dark clouds, butit was the universe.
My understanding was it was theuniverse, dark clouds though,
(04:27):
and there was lightning.
So I know it can't be theuniverse, but it was in my dream
and it was a scary, scary likehole almost, and I knew I didn't
want to go there.
So then I came back down likein high speed.
Yeah, oh, I don't know abouthigh speed downward, but I do
speed up going up.
But the reason why I even tryto fly is because I'm usually
running away from something yeah, so then that's why I fly same
(04:50):
can you guys fly?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
yes, I can well, kind of kind of similar to you, I
can jump.
It's like jumping.
Yeah, I can jump, yeah, jumpinghigh and when I actually yeah
so I've never actually shut upto the universe.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But I have try it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Look up next time and keep looking up and focus,
you'll speed up and you'll reachthe universe, but I can get to
the top of, like you know, toweror something, but when that
happens sometimes I don't makeit so.
When that happens, obviouslylike if if I'm like jumping yeah
, I fall, but when I fall it'slike you know how you get this
(05:26):
tingly feeling when you're on aroller coaster going down like I
feel that yeah you feel thatwhen that's scary, yeah, doesn't
that wake you up?
no, it doesn't what.
So?
So it's only like you said,it's only when I'm running away.
So that's my flying like.
I cannot fly for some reasonyeah, even when I try flying
(05:46):
like I, it fails yeah, me too.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I can't run fast either.
It's like there's like a windor something pushing against me
like it's in slow motion so Idon't even try.
I just just fly up.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Next time try it okay , it's the universal try.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Do you guys feel pain ?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
in your dreams.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I have felt pain.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Once I got cut by your friend in my dream.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But my friend or whose friend?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yes, your friend.
Who Cody, your friend?
Oh, okay, yeah, she cut me witha sword.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And she's the nicest person.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I'll tell you later who it is, but she's the nicest
person.
So it's clearly a dream.
She caught me and I felt thatsharp pain and I mean I wasn't
severed or anything, it was justlike a, you know, a mark.
She left a mark, but I felt it.
I was like, yeah, and that wasvery distinct.
That I remember.
All the other times.
(06:42):
I don't know if I rememberfeeling pain, samia.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I sometimes feel pain .
The most painful dream I've hadis when I was ripped in half by
a t-rex.
Oh my gosh like completely inhalf.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Were you, then?
What happened?
Okay, so I have a question areyou?
Oh man?
Because when I dream I noticedthat most of the time I'm
looking at myself, so I'm not init.
So, did you see your body splitin half, or were you seeing?
I was seeing?
Well, no, it was me, it was you, like when you look down, you
(07:19):
were missing, waist down yeah.
Oh my gosh.
What about you, kari?
Like, what do you do?
You see yourself from theoutside perspective or do you
see it in first person?
It's both, it's both sometimesI think, sometimes it's yeah, I
think sometimes but yeah, it'susually first.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Okay, I have never gotten split in half.
That sounds really painful.
We're in pain either that hurtsso oh my
Speaker 4 (07:42):
god, after that, I think you read too many books.
Simi, I didn't die, though, huh.
Yeah, I said, I think you readtoo many books.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, wait, you didn't die, or you did die?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I didn't.
I survived, but I was in painthe whole time.
So you know it would have beenbetter if I just died and then
did anyone like put you backtogether or were you back
together?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
you don't remember what happened after that.
Yeah, I think there was a scenechange or something that Did
anyone like put you backtogether or were you back
together.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't know what happened after that.
Yeah, I think there was a scenechange or something that sounds
terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I have not got my body split in half like that,
but I have gotten stabbed andshot from the back.
Not on the same dream, likedifferent occasions, you know,
like when you?
I guess we've never gotten shotso we don't know for sure but
in the movies and such, when yousee someone getting shot,
obviously it's not real, but youknow how you jerk a little bit
(08:35):
like when you get shot.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Like.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I felt that like my body jerk a little bit, and then
I felt such a pain and Irealized that I was getting shot
Of.
Of course, I don't really knowif it was because it was from
the back, but same with gettingstabbed.
I was stabbed with a knife fromthe back and I can't remember
who did it or what.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
what led up to it at all.
My gosh that's scary yeah thatwas definitely.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I could feel it and I was like, oh my god, that hurts
.
Yeah, do you guys see dream incolors, or do you not remember I
?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I think I see colors I see colors, colors because I
think sometimes I remember whatwe were wearing or something,
and it's not gray and black orwhite I see colors and I was
talking to kawori earlier, butthis kind of sounds sad but the
prettiest scenery that I've everseen in my life was in my dream
(09:29):
.
Do you know where it was?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
oh yeah I don't know where it was.
What did you see?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
but it was like I think it was a sunset, but it
was so colorful.
Yeah, it could have been asunrise, I don't know, but it
was so pretty.
I don't know how to explain it,but interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Oh, it was so pretty so lucas always remembers this
dream.
My son he I think he was likewhen he was five.
He said that he dreamt that hewas in a world where everything
was gray except a car which wasred, and he still remembers this
dream.
I don't know exactly what he wasdoing, yeah but it must have
(10:06):
kind of yeah, had an impressionon him that he told me about it.
I was like, oh my gosh, wow,what sounds interesting.
And I think it's one of thosedreams that he still remembers
is his favorite color, blackstill.
Yes, I mean black is technicallynot a color, but yeah, so
otosan used to tell us, or toldme, or maybe you guys too, our
(10:26):
dad used to dream, I think inblack and white, and I think he
still does.
We'll have to ask him aboutthat, but he said that he dreams
are always black and white Ithink that's crazy my dreams are
in color.
Yeah, I don't know if it'sbecause he's experienced like
watching tv in black and whiteor yoko, I'm not so sure.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Maybe because of his generation, don't know oh, I
have a question do you guystaste things in your dream.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't know.
I don't think I ever eat in mydream I have.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I know for sure I've smelled things, but I I'm very
sure I've eaten it too.
But I remember smell is morestrong for me, I think.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Really.
Yeah, I can taste things.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah, yeah, it's our brain right Like remembering how
things taste or how things feelbased on what you know.
Yeah, yeah, I don't think I'veever eaten before.
I don't think I've ever tasted,but I think I'm with you on the
smell.
I think I've smelled eatenbefore.
I don't think I've ever tasted,but I think I'm with you on the
smell.
I think I've smelled in mydream, like certain smells.
(11:30):
So do you.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I don't know if I smell things, I just know I
taste things Interesting.
The other day I had a dreamthat my husband made cookies for
me and I ate them and it wasthe best cookies.
I've ever had in my life, whichis yeah yeah, this was my dream
, which again sounds pretty sad,but yeah, so good does he bake?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
cookies.
No, you should encourage him bytelling him the dream.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, I told him, yeah, and it was so good.
And I remember I think saying,oh my gosh, this is so good.
What did you put in it?
And I don't remember what hesaid, but he says something.
It's definitely not somethingyou put in a cookie Like a
secret ingredient.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I forgot what he said .
Was it the taste or was it thetexture, or both, both, both?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Okay.
So it didn't really have atexture of a cookie, it was more
like a biscuit, but it was acookie, or it was supposed to be
a cookie, and the taste was ithad a chocolate flavor, but they
weren't chocolate chip cookiesLike brownie type.
Yeah, but not Was it brown likebrownie.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, maybe more like Oreo cookies.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, the texture was really good.
No, not Oreo Well it was.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Maybe it was just like completely made up flavor,
I guess that was amazing, maybeyeah but it was so good.
Yeah, any happy dreams that youremember.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, I have a lot of happy dreams too, but I don't
think I remember them as much asI remember fear, because it's
just that fear is like no joke.
How I fear, yeah, yeah, likewhat?
Like I told you when the kidslike earlier before this podcast
, we were talking and I hadmentioned about losing my kids
(13:15):
somehow one way or another, islike the biggest fear I ever
feel in my dream.
And it's always Kikol, like sheeither wanders off or she, the
older one, she wanders becausethat's her personality.
You know she either wandersbecause she'll talk to strangers
in real life and you know shekind of wanders off in her mind
(13:42):
all the time.
So in my dream it's likeamplified and she disappears
often.
Yeah, so you know, matt, myhusband had back surgery and he
was crippled for a while and Iguess that got to the kids when
they saw him at the hospital andeverything.
(14:03):
So both of them, if they havescary dreams, they'll tell me.
Like I had the scariest dream.
There was an intruder and mama,you protected us and I'm like
where was Papa?
They're like I don't know, likehe's never around you know, in
their dream, or like they don'tprotect, you know, the kids,
like they see me as theprotector because you know Matt
(14:24):
was crippled.
I think that's why, becauseright around that time is when
they would always say you savedus, and I don't think that's so
funny.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's good that you were there, I guess.
So both of them are just one,both.
Oh, that's so interestingalways.
So I mean any fear based dreamsoh yeah, I do have.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Well, I can't, really can't think of one at the top
of my head yeah, I have neverhad a dreams where I lost a
child or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I've never had any dreams about intruders, nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So what is your?
You don't have fearful dreams,then, I must, I don't remember.
I mean, if you're flying,you're running away.
You said from something that'strue.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, you just don't remember it?
No, but it's usually it not.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Usually it's always from something, from someone
that I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
So I've tried to fly with my kids and that's harder
because they weighed me down,but again, if I look up, I'm
good.
You, you guys, should try itsometime, if you can remember
but okay cody, I remember you,but I can't fly you can fly
forward real fast, or is it slow?
Because I feel like I'm veryslow.
(15:36):
Well, it depends.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'm very slow when someone's coming after me.
And they catch up with me.
But then I can be fast.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Cody, I remember you told me before and I don't know
if you still do this, but youtold me in your dream sometimes
you wonder is this a dream?
And in your dream sometimes youwonder is?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
this a dream and in order to wake up, you said you
would do backflip.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, I remember, I still do that.
You still do that.
Yeah, if you think that it's adream, why wouldn't your brain
just wake you up?
No, it doesn't yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So obviously that is fear-based.
I just honestly don't rememberwhat scary situation I'm in.
But yeah, when I have to likewake up or I at some point
realize, oh, this is a dream, sothen what I do to get out of it
, I just don't wake up on my ownbut I do backflip in my dream
and then that's how, like, Iwake up.
(16:28):
Sometimes it's really hardbecause I know it's a dream and
I do the backflip and I couldtell like I have such a hard
time opening my eyes.
So it's like I think that'swhere I'm like half conscious,
half not trying to wake myselfup to get out of this, like
whatever dream I'm in.
So I've had time where I had tolike really like open my eyes
(16:51):
and I had really hard time likewaking up, but in those cases I
did a backflip, multiple times.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Just a disclaimer you cannot do a backflip in real
life.
So I cannot, the fact that youeven think about doing the
backflip to wake you up, likeyou should know.
Oh wait, this is definitely adream, because I'm about to do a
backflip.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, but is it one of you who turns the light
switch on or off, or is thissomething that I read?
I don't know anything I think Iread that if you're in a dream
and you wonder if it's a dream,all you have to do is turn the
light switch on, and if itdoesn't turn, on your dream yeah
apparently it's a dream becausein reality it should turn on
well, there's no light switchesnearby in my dream.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I don't ever recall being by a light switch or
seeing it in my dream but.
I also don't ever wonder isthis a dream?
Do you see me?
Um, I only remember a fewcouple of times when I did yeah
but usually I don't you know, Ijust think it's reality yeah, no
matter how crazy the dream isno matter how people morph into
(17:52):
something else.
I still don't realize.
It's a dream in my dream and itmakes sense in my dream at that
time, Until I wake up and I'mlike, well, that was stupid.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, I must have this quite often because even
like, if I'm like swimming orsomething, and if I know I'm in
my dream, then I breathe,because you can breathe
underwater if it's a dream?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
no, I never my brain doesn't go there, mine doesn't
either I may be breathing, Idon't know, but I don't ever
think, oh, I know, this is adream, so I can breathe in the
water I've done that multipletimes underwater, but in reality
I never do that, I never go.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Is this reality or I don't have to check?
Obviously, for some reason onlyhappens when I'm dreaming.
Oh, this is a dream, so I canbreathe now.
I mean, I've had that manytimes.
That's weird, it is crazy Iremember um.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I had this dream where I was at a party yeah and
I thought it was new year's,because everyone was all dressed
up and everyone was countingdown.
They started from 10, 9, 8.
I was like, oh, it must be newyear's because everyone was all
dressed up and everyone wascounting down.
They started from 10, 9, 8.
I was like, oh, it must be newyear's.
Then 4, 3, 2, 1, and I woke upeveryone was counting down,
counting down to your wake up Ithought that was really funny,
(19:07):
oh my gosh.
I was like oh my god do you guysever okay?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
so I have a dream where I'm always, I always
encounter dirty bathrooms, likedirty public bathrooms.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Oh my gosh, yes me what you do too yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I don't know why.
I don't know if I'm actuallytrying to use the restroom or if
I'm trying to change whateverit is.
I somehow, oh, oh, I know I'mtrying to use the bathroom a lot
of times, right too, and then Igo in and it's always
disgusting or there's no doorsyeah, most of them, yes, me too,
yeah.
And then, and then a lot of themare side by side and then, um,
(19:43):
like, I mean like facing eachother without doors, and um, and
then a lot of times it'sclogged and like water is
overflowing.
And then there's showers,sometimes too, and some
facilities that I go in that arejust as dirty, and some of them
are combined with men's.
It's like unisex bathroom andit's disgusting Every time I
(20:07):
have to pee in my dream.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So it says here that I just looked, looked up what
that means because that soundsvery crazy.
But what you looked at what itmeans to dirty dreams, a dirty
toilet, dirty toilet dreamsindicate dream.
Yeah, dreams indicate toxicthoughts, emotions, beliefs,
judgments or relationships.
To see a dirty bathroom, full,or even back flooded toilets,
(20:33):
implies that one needs to try tosort out problems in life.
Oh, really that doesn't sound,it could also mean that there
are feelings for people inwaking life that one needs to
get rid of.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Huh interesting, I don't know do you guys ever
dream about your teeth fallingout?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yes, no, yes, because I have a lot yes Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Or like I feel, like I'm like I could tell it started
to loosen.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, yes, me too.
What?
And then, yeah, it's just weird, I've also.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And then what?
They just naturally fall.
Or do you take a bite ofsomething and it just goes?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
crumble.
Yeah, it could happen both ways.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
The worst time was.
I've had it multiple times, butworst was when I was falling
off the building.
The teeth was going like justlike flying out because I was
falling that was yeah, so hereit says.
So I had to look it up, becauseobviously it's not just me, so
(21:36):
are you devastated.
Obviously, like you're aware,you lost your teeth and you're
just so devastated or likefreaked out.
Yeah, yeah, that would bedevastating, yeah that's never,
happened to me.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's so strange, it's happened to me multiple
times really, really, wow.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So it says here that I mean obviously there are a few
different ways to interpretsome of these dreams, but here
it says many people believe thata vivid dream of teeth falling
out can symbolize recent loss ofsomething important like a job,
relationship or loved one.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Nothing comes to mind .
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Or you are afraid of something and that you're not
dealing with it.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I think it just means you need to make a dental
appointment.
You just haven't.
So it's just your dreams way ofreminding you, don't forget.
Well, that's interesting,that's so weird, but I will
notice.
Sometimes I look down and Idon't.
Somehow I don't have any pantson or something.
Oh my God, does that happen toyou guys?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
No.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
What I'm like.
Wait, what am I doing Like Idon't have any pants?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
on?
Is it just your pants orclothing in general?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I think, usually just like pants.
I'm just in my underwear.
I'm like what the heck and I dofeel like wow, why did I step
out like this?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You know, oh, my gosh , Like I understand that that's
not right in my dream.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Oh, I understand that that's not right in my dream.
But then it's like what theheck do I do?
I don't know.
That happens a lot.
And then actually the kids toldme too that's happened to them.
Like I think it was any girlthat told me yeah, she was like,
it was so weird.
She's like because, and I wasso uncomfortable and I'm like I
(23:17):
have that dream too Sometimes.
It's just so weird.
Ok, so I'm like I have thatdream too.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Sometimes it's just so weird, okay, so there's a New
York times article about it.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Forgetting pants.
Okay, it means, I mean, I'mforgetful in general.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I've never forgotten my pants, oh it says it's um
dreaming of not wearing pantsrepresents vulnerability and
feeling unprepared well, I'malways unprepared for life yeah,
so I guess that's what it says.
So it's happened to youmultiple times, or just yeah
yeah, yeah, many times.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
And it's weird because, like I'll be going
about my day and then I lookdown, I'm like oh my gosh, the
whole time I didn't have pantson.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You know like no one said anything um yeah, have you
guys had a dream where somethingcame true?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I can't remember yeah actually maybe, but I had a
dream.
I had a dream that okasan gotstung by a bee and it came true
I mean, I guess that's always apossibility.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
What like 10 years down the road?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
no, it was that day that day.
Yeah, I told her about it inthe morning and then she got
stung by a bee that day oh, Imean, I don't recall.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I may, I may have, but not that I remember.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, it might be like deja vu kind of situation
yeah, I have a lot of deja vuyeah, do you remember anything?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I mean I don't anymore.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
But no, I don't, I only just remember in the moment
yeah, I have had deja vus too,but okay, can I tell you you
about my favorite dream thatI've ever had.
Yes please, I'm going to keep itshort.
So I think it was when I wasfive or six because we were
still living in Japan and I hada dream that I was at this
(25:13):
vegetable garden and thesevegetables were huge.
Either the vegetables were hugeor if I was really small, I
don't know, but the vegetableswere really huge.
And I was playing on thesevegetables, jumping on tomatoes
like trampolines and whatnot,and then there was this little
boy that came up to me I thinkit was an elf, because he had
like pointy ears and he was likehi.
(25:35):
And I was like hi, and you wantto play together?
And he was like sure, so weplayed in this vegetable garden,
we had a really fun time.
And then the elf was like hey,so I have to go home now.
And I was like oh, can we hangout again?
And he's like yes, but it mighttake a while for me to see you
because he said that he travelsaround in kids' dreams all
(26:00):
around the world.
And I remember him saying like Idon't really remember the exact
name, but he was like well,yesterday I was hanging out with
a boy named Tom in America, andthe other day I was hanging out
with this girl named blah blahfrom I don't know Germany, and
today I came to you in yourdream to see you see me, you
(26:21):
know, in Japan.
Wow, that's cool.
Yeah, he was like yeah, so Itravel around the world, you
know, going into kids dreams.
And I was like oh well, that'sreally cool.
And I was like well, can I seeyou again?
He was like well, if you remaina good girl, I will eventually
come see you in your dream.
I remember that.
(26:41):
Did he come back?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
No, not yet.
Maybe I'm not being good enough, I don't know.
Well, maybe he aged, becausethat was when you were five, so
he could now be much older.
He appeared in a different form, potentially a much older self.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Well, I feel like he's going to remain young for
some reason.
Yeah, Like if he appears that'sa cool dream isn't it?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I think he's not real .
Yeah, but I'm just kidding.
Do you guys remember when wewere little?
We would say let's hold handsand see if we can be in the same
dream.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
You don't remember that I don't know which one of
you.
I tried it when I thought likeif it was both of you, I was
gonna say but how can you?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
we were not even in the.
In japan, we're all sleeping onthe when we were really a lot
younger and I we've tried itmultiple days and then obviously
it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I don't think we would share our dreams and it
was never the same.
Speaking of that, that remindsme you know how I used to put
the kids to sleep when they wereyounger is because they would
not want to go to sleep.
I used to say, okay, well,let's meet in your, in our
dreams, where do you want tomeet?
And then they'd be like excited.
Oh, I remember we used to dothat too.
(27:56):
Oh, really, that I don'tremember, but I remember trying
to get into each other's dreamswhen we were little by holding
hands.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
We thought that would work.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
That's cute.
I do not remember that.
We must have been really young,like you said.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Yeah we were young Holding hands.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, I guess we were all in a bedroom.
We had bunk beds.
I mean, I was on top, tomo, youwere on the bottom and Sumi was
on the ground.
Is that right, sumi?
Was she in the same room?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, were you on the ground?
I don't think I was on theground.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Was I on the ground?
I don't remember her in thesame room?
I don't either.
Okay, she was probably with herfather and mother.
We'll have to ask them.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, probably because I have fallen from the
top bunk before, you must havenot been directly by the bunk
bed oh, you know, I used to getyelled at by my mother because I
used to wet the bed.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Remember till I was in first grade yeah you were bad
and I remember specificallythis one time.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
I had a dream and I had to use the restroom and I
went to use the restroom, I saton the toilet and I went and I
remember I woke up in real lifeand I was going and I was trying
to explain to her about that.
I was like I was going, I wentto the bathroom and then then,
and I was really trying so hardto tell her I was really trying
(29:20):
to go to the bathroom and shewas just yelling and I was so
trying so hard to tell her I wasreally trying to go to the
bathroom and she was justyelling and I was so mad I was
like, but you couldn't tell itwas.
You were dreaming right at thetime.
Of course I couldn't tell.
I really thought I went to thebathroom.
But, like I don't know if ithappens to you guys, but
sometimes that happens to me,where I I mean not recently,
especially in college I used todo this because it was hard for
me to wake up to go to morningclasses in college because I
(29:43):
would stay up so late at night.
Anyway, I would like half wakeup, half be asleep and then, but
then I would fully in my mindget ready for class and then I
would really wake up again.
I'm like, well, I'm stillasleep.
I thought I thought I got readyand I'll do it again, over and
over and over again.
It doesn't happen anymore, butin college that happened all the
(30:04):
time.
I would literally like getready 10 times before I actually
woke up to actually get ready.
I thought I was getting readyevery single time and it'd be so
annoying.
Does that happen to you or?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
yeah, yeah, I've had those dreams when I'm getting
ready to go to school or to work.
It's so annoying, right, yeah,and I'm really exhausted the
moment I wake up.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, that's when it was for me in college that's
never happened, but well, Iremember a dream where I was
bawling my eyes out because youdied, and so I was crying and
crying and I remember waking upand I was still crying yeah,
crying.
It's kind of similar to how didshe die?
I wish I remember I was cryingand crying and I remember waking
up and I was still crying.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Crying.
It's kind of similar to your.
How did she?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
die.
I wish I remember 真正活的来。 butthat's the only time where, like
, I was dreaming and I woke upand I was still crying, like you
said.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I was eaten by T-Rex.
I was split in half.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh my, gosh, that's so painful.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember this, but with
crying.
I don't think I've ever donethat, but I do remember when I
was in this is again, I think,half asleep, half awake moment.
I remember in Japan when I hadthis dream, I was walking with a
letter in my hand, walking tothe post office, and then the
alarm went off or something.
I woke up, like my eyeshappened to be on my hand when,
(31:27):
like the first thing and Iremember it was almost like the
letter like disappeared, almost.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I just kind of remember that where, like I
think I remember you telling methis I transitioned.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yeah, I do yeah, I only remember it.
You know happening to mesomething like that happening to
me one time, but I think it waslike the transition of like,
from asleep to waking up.
I I remember having that letterin my hand and my eyes just
went there when I first woke upand it just looked like the
letter had just like disappeared.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, so we have a friend.
We, as in my husband and I,have a friend who kept dream
journal, which I think is asmart idea.
He would just slip notebookunder his pillow with a pen and
he said that as soon as he wokeup he would write about his
dreams that he had, becausethat's the time you're more
likely to remember.
You know when I wake up.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I need the light because it's pitch dark.
Does he turn the light on towrite that yes for?
Speaker 3 (32:25):
sure I think it was either one of you guys that said
that when you would have likefurikake in your pocket and if
the bad guys come and get you,you sprinkle them with furikake
and they'll just run away.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I feel like you said that was it I?
Think, I think, I think youused to tell me that you would
not sprinkle, but like shurikenmitai ni, like a star knife or
whatever the ninjas carry.
I think you told me that youused to use it as a weapon and
just throw it at people.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I guess it was me.
Then I thought it was someone.
Sometimes I will remember that.
Oh, I can just sprinkle themwith furikake.
I remember it was someone.
I think, yeah, but sometimes,yeah, I will remember that I, oh
, I can just sprinkle them withfurikake.
I remember it was furikake,like, like, like so you have to
explain what furikake is.
Can I explain furikake?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
well, it's like seasoning that flavored yeah the
japanese people like to putyeah on top of rice.
Yeah, yeah, kids love it.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, but sometimes a bottle will be empty and they
get me.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
No, I mean, from what I understood, you were carrying
furikake packets, no it was ina bottle.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
It was a bottle type.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
I thought that's what you used to tell me, but I
don't know.
Thanks for joining us today.

Until next time.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
Ja Ne to give it all away.
And now I'm sitting herebrokenhearted, want to come and
give me a break, cause I've beenwaiting for so long for someone
(34:10):
to rescue me and if youcontinue to fall for me.
I gotta get you out of my system.
I gotta get you off of my mind.
But how do I move on when noone compares?
They only keep me occupied.
I try to shake them off sodesperately but you pull them
(00:24):
tighter, string me along.
It's sad, but I'm so gone.
And how do you do it?
Live with yourself.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Hey guys, I just want to take this opportunity to say
that we have been doingpodcasts for one year.
Can you believe it?
Yay, yay, for one year.
Can you believe it?
Yay.
I honestly have to probablylisten to all of it to remember
what we talked about.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Do you feel that way?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, I don't remember a thing, yeah, yeah,
just the last topic and then theone before, maybe, yeah, Well,
hopefully we have talked aboutinteresting things and we can
look back on it at some point orre-listen to it again, if you
ever listen to them.
So today I think we're going totalk about dreams, maybe before
we dive into how we decided totalk about this, do you guys
(01:18):
ever dream and remember in themorning when you wake up?
Because, personally, personally, I know I have dreams.
There are days when I rememberand I know that dreams happen
during REM cycle.
But oftentimes I'm thinkinglike, oh, I gotta tell, like you
know, my husband about thisdream that I had, but then, as
(01:40):
the day goes on, I can'tremember what it was oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
That happens to me all the time, where I remember
when I wake up and I'm like oh,I got to tell this, this is,
this was a good dream, and thentotally escapes your mind and
then a week later it's like ohyeah, that was the dream.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, but isn't that interesting, though, like for me
, mostly it's.
I dream about things that don'teven make any sense, and I
think it's common yeah me too,yeah me too.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
I morph into things.
Sometimes People morph intoanimals.
Or people's genders change orthey totally change.
Their races change.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
I can speak Spanish fluently in my dream.
What?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Are you serious?
You're probably not speakingSpanish.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I am.
Sometimes I speak English Well,most times I speak Japanese in
my dreams now, but sometimes Ispeak and understand Spanish.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Wow, that is also interesting that you have dreams
more frequently.
I guess that makes sense,because you're using it every
day in Japanese In Japanese yeah, so do you think it's Spanish
because you have taken Spanishclass?
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I don't know.
I don't even know if it isSpanish.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I think it's just a made-up language but your brain
is processing it as Spanish.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
It's gibberish it probably is I know, but wouldn't
it be great though that you canactually speak Spanish like
that?
Yeah, I know, but wouldn't itbe great though that, if you can
actually speak Spanish likethat yeah.
There are a lot of things thatyou wish that you could do in
your dream, that you reallycan't do?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Oh my gosh, I can fly in my dream, which.
I love to do.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I can only fly up straight up and I have to be
looking up and, like you know,moving my arms up and down, like
I have wings or something.
I don't have wings and I canonly go up, I can't go forward.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
And then I can go up so high.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
If I keep focusing, you know, at the sky, I can
reach the universe Like my.
The speed goes up real fast.
I've been to the universemultiple times in my dream but I
can't go forward.
That's weird Like I can timesin my dream, but I can't go
forward.
That's weird Like I can, but ittakes me so long, it's so slow
(03:54):
like in slow motion.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
So I just go up instead and then come back.
I can come back down too, okay.
So when you're in the universe,do you go in like do you land
on another planet?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
No, no, no, no, I'm floating.
No, I don't see other planets,and sometimes I see stars and
sometimes I don't see stars.
One time it was so scary, Idon't even know how to describe
it.
It looked like dark clouds, butit was the universe.
My understanding was it was theuniverse, dark clouds though,
(04:27):
and there was lightning.
So I know it can't be theuniverse, but it was in my dream
and it was a scary, scary likehole almost, and I knew I didn't
want to go there.
So then I came back down likein high speed.
Yeah, oh, I don't know abouthigh speed downward, but I do
speed up going up.
But the reason why I even tryto fly is because I'm usually
running away from something yeah, so then that's why I fly same
(04:50):
can you guys fly?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
yes, I can well, kind of kind of similar to you, I
can jump.
It's like jumping.
Yeah, I can jump, yeah, jumpinghigh and when I actually yeah
so I've never actually shut upto the universe.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
But I have try it.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Look up next time and keep looking up and focus,
you'll speed up and you'll reachthe universe, but I can get to
the top of, like you know, toweror something, but when that
happens sometimes I don't makeit so.
When that happens, obviouslylike if if I'm like jumping yeah
, I fall, but when I fall it'slike you know how you get this
(05:26):
tingly feeling when you're on aroller coaster going down like I
feel that yeah you feel thatwhen that's scary, yeah, doesn't
that wake you up?
no, it doesn't what.
So?
So it's only like you said,it's only when I'm running away.
So that's my flying like.
I cannot fly for some reasonyeah, even when I try flying
(05:46):
like I, it fails yeah, me too.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I can't run fast either.
It's like there's like a windor something pushing against me
like it's in slow motion so Idon't even try.
I just just fly up.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Next time try it okay , it's the universal try.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Do you guys feel pain ?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
in your dreams.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I have felt pain.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Once I got cut by your friend in my dream.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But my friend or whose friend?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yes, your friend.
Who Cody, your friend?
Oh, okay, yeah, she cut me witha sword.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
And she's the nicest person.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
I'll tell you later who it is, but she's the nicest
person.
So it's clearly a dream.
She caught me and I felt thatsharp pain and I mean I wasn't
severed or anything, it was justlike a, you know, a mark.
She left a mark, but I felt it.
I was like, yeah, and that wasvery distinct.
That I remember.
All the other times.
(06:42):
I don't know if I rememberfeeling pain, samia.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I sometimes feel pain .
The most painful dream I've hadis when I was ripped in half by
a t-rex.
Oh my gosh like completely inhalf.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Were you, then?
What happened?
Okay, so I have a question areyou?
Oh man?
Because when I dream I noticedthat most of the time I'm
looking at myself, so I'm not init.
So, did you see your body splitin half, or were you seeing?
I was seeing?
Well, no, it was me, it was you, like when you look down, you
(07:19):
were missing, waist down yeah.
Oh my gosh.
What about you, kari?
Like, what do you do?
You see yourself from theoutside perspective or do you
see it in first person?
It's both, it's both sometimesI think, sometimes it's yeah, I
think sometimes but yeah, it'susually first.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Okay, I have never gotten split in half.
That sounds really painful.
We're in pain either that hurtsso oh my
Speaker 4 (07:42):
god, after that, I think you read too many books.
Simi, I didn't die, though, huh.
Yeah, I said, I think you readtoo many books.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Yeah, wait, you didn't die, or you did die?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
I didn't.
I survived, but I was in painthe whole time.
So you know it would have beenbetter if I just died and then
did anyone like put you backtogether or were you back
together?
Speaker 4 (08:01):
you don't remember what happened after that.
Yeah, I think there was a scenechange or something that Did
anyone like put you backtogether or were you back
together.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I don't know what happened after that.
Yeah, I think there was a scenechange or something that sounds
terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I have not got my body split in half like that,
but I have gotten stabbed andshot from the back.
Not on the same dream, likedifferent occasions, you know,
like when you?
I guess we've never gotten shotso we don't know for sure but
in the movies and such, when yousee someone getting shot,
obviously it's not real, but youknow how you jerk a little bit
(08:35):
like when you get shot.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Like.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
I felt that like my body jerk a little bit, and then
I felt such a pain and Irealized that I was getting shot
Of.
Of course, I don't really knowif it was because it was from
the back, but same with gettingstabbed.
I was stabbed with a knife fromthe back and I can't remember
who did it or what.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
what led up to it at all.
My gosh that's scary yeah thatwas definitely.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
I could feel it and I was like, oh my god, that hurts
.
Yeah, do you guys see dream incolors, or do you not remember I
?
Speaker 3 (09:08):
I think I see colors I see colors, colors because I
think sometimes I remember whatwe were wearing or something,
and it's not gray and black orwhite I see colors and I was
talking to kawori earlier, butthis kind of sounds sad but the
prettiest scenery that I've everseen in my life was in my dream
(09:29):
.
Do you know where it was?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
oh yeah I don't know where it was.
What did you see?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
but it was like I think it was a sunset, but it
was so colorful.
Yeah, it could have been asunrise, I don't know, but it
was so pretty.
I don't know how to explain it,but interesting.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Oh, it was so pretty so lucas always remembers this
dream.
My son he I think he was likewhen he was five.
He said that he dreamt that hewas in a world where everything
was gray except a car which wasred, and he still remembers this
dream.
I don't know exactly what he wasdoing, yeah but it must have
(10:06):
kind of yeah, had an impressionon him that he told me about it.
I was like, oh my gosh, wow,what sounds interesting.
And I think it's one of thosedreams that he still remembers
is his favorite color, blackstill.
Yes, I mean black is technicallynot a color, but yeah, so
otosan used to tell us, or toldme, or maybe you guys too, our
(10:26):
dad used to dream, I think inblack and white, and I think he
still does.
We'll have to ask him aboutthat, but he said that he dreams
are always black and white Ithink that's crazy my dreams are
in color.
Yeah, I don't know if it'sbecause he's experienced like
watching tv in black and whiteor yoko, I'm not so sure.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Maybe because of his generation, don't know oh, I
have a question do you guystaste things in your dream.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
I don't know.
I don't think I ever eat in mydream I have.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I know for sure I've smelled things, but I I'm very
sure I've eaten it too.
But I remember smell is morestrong for me, I think.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Really.
Yeah, I can taste things.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Yeah, yeah, it's our brain right Like remembering how
things taste or how things feelbased on what you know.
Yeah, yeah, I don't think I'veever eaten before.
I don't think I've ever tasted,but I think I'm with you on the
smell.
I think I've smelled eatenbefore.
I don't think I've ever tasted,but I think I'm with you on the
smell.
I think I've smelled in mydream, like certain smells.
(11:30):
So do you.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
I don't know if I smell things, I just know I
taste things Interesting.
The other day I had a dreamthat my husband made cookies for
me and I ate them and it wasthe best cookies.
I've ever had in my life, whichis yeah yeah, this was my dream
, which again sounds pretty sad,but yeah, so good does he bake?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
cookies.
No, you should encourage him bytelling him the dream.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Yeah, I told him, yeah, and it was so good.
And I remember I think saying,oh my gosh, this is so good.
What did you put in it?
And I don't remember what hesaid, but he says something.
It's definitely not somethingyou put in a cookie Like a
secret ingredient.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
I forgot what he said .
Was it the taste or was it thetexture, or both, both, both?
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Okay.
So it didn't really have atexture of a cookie, it was more
like a biscuit, but it was acookie, or it was supposed to be
a cookie, and the taste was ithad a chocolate flavor, but they
weren't chocolate chip cookiesLike brownie type.
Yeah, but not Was it brown likebrownie.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, maybe more like Oreo cookies.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Yeah, the texture was really good.
No, not Oreo Well it was.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Maybe it was just like completely made up flavor,
I guess that was amazing, maybeyeah but it was so good.
Yeah, any happy dreams that youremember.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Yeah, I have a lot of happy dreams too, but I don't
think I remember them as much asI remember fear, because it's
just that fear is like no joke.
How I fear, yeah, yeah, likewhat?
Like I told you when the kidslike earlier before this podcast
, we were talking and I hadmentioned about losing my kids
(13:15):
somehow one way or another, islike the biggest fear I ever
feel in my dream.
And it's always Kikol, like sheeither wanders off or she, the
older one, she wanders becausethat's her personality.
You know she either wandersbecause she'll talk to strangers
in real life and you know shekind of wanders off in her mind
(13:42):
all the time.
So in my dream it's likeamplified and she disappears
often.
Yeah, so you know, matt, myhusband had back surgery and he
was crippled for a while and Iguess that got to the kids when
they saw him at the hospital andeverything.
(14:03):
So both of them, if they havescary dreams, they'll tell me.
Like I had the scariest dream.
There was an intruder and mama,you protected us and I'm like
where was Papa?
They're like I don't know, likehe's never around you know, in
their dream, or like they don'tprotect, you know, the kids,
like they see me as theprotector because you know Matt
(14:24):
was crippled.
I think that's why, becauseright around that time is when
they would always say you savedus, and I don't think that's so
funny.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's good that you were there, I guess.
So both of them are just one,both.
Oh, that's so interestingalways.
So I mean any fear based dreamsoh yeah, I do have.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Well, I can't, really can't think of one at the top
of my head yeah, I have neverhad a dreams where I lost a
child or anything.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
I've never had any dreams about intruders, nothing.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
So what is your?
You don't have fearful dreams,then, I must, I don't remember.
I mean, if you're flying,you're running away.
You said from something that'strue.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, you just don't remember it?
No, but it's usually it not.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Usually it's always from something, from someone
that I don't know.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
So I've tried to fly with my kids and that's harder
because they weighed me down,but again, if I look up, I'm
good.
You, you guys, should try itsometime, if you can remember
but okay cody, I remember you,but I can't fly you can fly
forward real fast, or is it slow?
Because I feel like I'm veryslow.
(15:36):
Well, it depends.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'm very slow when someone's coming after me.
And they catch up with me.
But then I can be fast.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Cody, I remember you told me before and I don't know
if you still do this, but youtold me in your dream sometimes
you wonder is this a dream?
And in your dream sometimes youwonder is?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
this a dream and in order to wake up, you said you
would do backflip.
Speaker 4 (15:57):
Yeah, I remember, I still do that.
You still do that.
Yeah, if you think that it's adream, why wouldn't your brain
just wake you up?
No, it doesn't yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
So obviously that is fear-based.
I just honestly don't rememberwhat scary situation I'm in.
But yeah, when I have to likewake up or I at some point
realize, oh, this is a dream, sothen what I do to get out of it
, I just don't wake up on my ownbut I do backflip in my dream
and then that's how, like, Iwake up.
(16:28):
Sometimes it's really hardbecause I know it's a dream and
I do the backflip and I couldtell like I have such a hard
time opening my eyes.
So it's like I think that'swhere I'm like half conscious,
half not trying to wake myselfup to get out of this, like
whatever dream I'm in.
So I've had time where I had tolike really like open my eyes
(16:51):
and I had really hard time likewaking up, but in those cases I
did a backflip, multiple times.
Speaker 4 (16:56):
Just a disclaimer you cannot do a backflip in real
life.
So I cannot, the fact that youeven think about doing the
backflip to wake you up, likeyou should know.
Oh wait, this is definitely adream, because I'm about to do a
backflip.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
Yeah, but is it one of you who turns the light
switch on or off, or is thissomething that I read?
I don't know anything I think Iread that if you're in a dream
and you wonder if it's a dream,all you have to do is turn the
light switch on, and if itdoesn't turn, on your dream yeah
apparently it's a dream becausein reality it should turn on
well, there's no light switchesnearby in my dream.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
I don't ever recall being by a light switch or
seeing it in my dream but.
I also don't ever wonder isthis a dream?
Do you see me?
Um, I only remember a fewcouple of times when I did yeah
but usually I don't you know, Ijust think it's reality yeah, no
matter how crazy the dream isno matter how people morph into
(17:52):
something else.
I still don't realize.
It's a dream in my dream and itmakes sense in my dream at that
time, Until I wake up and I'mlike, well, that was stupid.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Yeah, I must have this quite often because even
like, if I'm like swimming orsomething, and if I know I'm in
my dream, then I breathe,because you can breathe
underwater if it's a dream?
Speaker 4 (18:16):
no, I never my brain doesn't go there, mine doesn't
either I may be breathing, Idon't know, but I don't ever
think, oh, I know, this is adream, so I can breathe in the
water I've done that multipletimes underwater, but in reality
I never do that, I never go.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Is this reality or I don't have to check?
Obviously, for some reason onlyhappens when I'm dreaming.
Oh, this is a dream, so I canbreathe now.
I mean, I've had that manytimes.
That's weird, it is crazy Iremember um.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I had this dream where I was at a party yeah and
I thought it was new year's,because everyone was all dressed
up and everyone was countingdown.
They started from 10, 9, 8.
I was like, oh, it must be newyear's because everyone was all
dressed up and everyone wascounting down.
They started from 10, 9, 8.
I was like, oh, it must be newyear's.
Then 4, 3, 2, 1, and I woke upeveryone was counting down,
counting down to your wake up Ithought that was really funny,
(19:07):
oh my gosh.
I was like oh my god do you guysever okay?
Speaker 4 (19:10):
so I have a dream where I'm always, I always
encounter dirty bathrooms, likedirty public bathrooms.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Oh my gosh, yes me what you do too yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I don't know why.
I don't know if I'm actuallytrying to use the restroom or if
I'm trying to change whateverit is.
I somehow, oh, oh, I know I'mtrying to use the bathroom a lot
of times, right too, and then Igo in and it's always
disgusting or there's no doorsyeah, most of them, yes, me too,
yeah.
And then, and then a lot of themare side by side and then, um,
(19:43):
like, I mean like facing eachother without doors, and um, and
then a lot of times it'sclogged and like water is
overflowing.
And then there's showers,sometimes too, and some
facilities that I go in that arejust as dirty, and some of them
are combined with men's.
It's like unisex bathroom andit's disgusting Every time I
(20:07):
have to pee in my dream.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
So it says here that I just looked, looked up what
that means because that soundsvery crazy.
But what you looked at what itmeans to dirty dreams, a dirty
toilet, dirty toilet dreamsindicate dream.
Yeah, dreams indicate toxicthoughts, emotions, beliefs,
judgments or relationships.
To see a dirty bathroom, full,or even back flooded toilets,
(20:33):
implies that one needs to try tosort out problems in life.
Oh, really that doesn't sound,it could also mean that there
are feelings for people inwaking life that one needs to
get rid of.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Huh interesting, I don't know do you guys ever
dream about your teeth fallingout?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yes, no, yes, because I have a lot yes Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Or like I feel, like I'm like I could tell it started
to loosen.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, yes, me too.
What?
And then, yeah, it's just weird, I've also.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
And then what?
They just naturally fall.
Or do you take a bite ofsomething and it just goes?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
crumble.
Yeah, it could happen both ways.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
The worst time was.
I've had it multiple times, butworst was when I was falling
off the building.
The teeth was going like justlike flying out because I was
falling that was yeah, so hereit says.
So I had to look it up, becauseobviously it's not just me, so
(21:36):
are you devastated.
Obviously, like you're aware,you lost your teeth and you're
just so devastated or likefreaked out.
Yeah, yeah, that would bedevastating, yeah that's never,
happened to me.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's so strange, it's happened to me multiple
times really, really, wow.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
So it says here that I mean obviously there are a few
different ways to interpretsome of these dreams, but here
it says many people believe thata vivid dream of teeth falling
out can symbolize recent loss ofsomething important like a job,
relationship or loved one.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Nothing comes to mind .
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Or you are afraid of something and that you're not
dealing with it.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
I think it just means you need to make a dental
appointment.
You just haven't.
So it's just your dreams way ofreminding you, don't forget.
Well, that's interesting,that's so weird, but I will
notice.
Sometimes I look down and Idon't.
Somehow I don't have any pantson or something.
Oh my God, does that happen toyou guys?
Speaker 2 (22:36):
No.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
What I'm like.
Wait, what am I doing Like Idon't have any pants?
Speaker 2 (22:41):
on?
Is it just your pants orclothing in general?
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I think, usually just like pants.
I'm just in my underwear.
I'm like what the heck and I dofeel like wow, why did I step
out like this?
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You know, oh, my gosh , Like I understand that that's
not right in my dream.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Oh, I understand that that's not right in my dream.
But then it's like what theheck do I do?
I don't know.
That happens a lot.
And then actually the kids toldme too that's happened to them.
Like I think it was any girlthat told me yeah, she was like,
it was so weird.
She's like because, and I wasso uncomfortable and I'm like I
(23:17):
have that dream too Sometimes.
It's just so weird.
Ok, so I'm like I have thatdream too.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Sometimes it's just so weird, okay, so there's a New
York times article about it.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Forgetting pants.
Okay, it means, I mean, I'mforgetful in general.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
I've never forgotten my pants, oh it says it's um
dreaming of not wearing pantsrepresents vulnerability and
feeling unprepared well, I'malways unprepared for life yeah,
so I guess that's what it says.
So it's happened to youmultiple times, or just yeah
yeah, yeah, many times.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
And it's weird because, like I'll be going
about my day and then I lookdown, I'm like oh my gosh, the
whole time I didn't have pantson.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
You know like no one said anything um yeah, have you
guys had a dream where somethingcame true?
Speaker 3 (24:13):
I can't remember yeah actually maybe, but I had a
dream.
I had a dream that okasan gotstung by a bee and it came true
I mean, I guess that's always apossibility.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
What like 10 years down the road?
Speaker 3 (24:30):
no, it was that day that day.
Yeah, I told her about it inthe morning and then she got
stung by a bee that day oh, Imean, I don't recall.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
I may, I may have, but not that I remember.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
Yeah, it might be like deja vu kind of situation
yeah, I have a lot of deja vuyeah, do you remember anything?
Speaker 4 (24:52):
I mean I don't anymore.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
But no, I don't, I only just remember in the moment
yeah, I have had deja vus too,but okay, can I tell you you
about my favorite dream thatI've ever had.
Yes please, I'm going to keep itshort.
So I think it was when I wasfive or six because we were
still living in Japan and I hada dream that I was at this
(25:13):
vegetable garden and thesevegetables were huge.
Either the vegetables were hugeor if I was really small, I
don't know, but the vegetableswere really huge.
And I was playing on thesevegetables, jumping on tomatoes
like trampolines and whatnot,and then there was this little
boy that came up to me I thinkit was an elf, because he had
like pointy ears and he was likehi.
(25:35):
And I was like hi, and you wantto play together?
And he was like sure, so weplayed in this vegetable garden,
we had a really fun time.
And then the elf was like hey,so I have to go home now.
And I was like oh, can we hangout again?
And he's like yes, but it mighttake a while for me to see you
because he said that he travelsaround in kids' dreams all
(26:00):
around the world.
And I remember him saying like Idon't really remember the exact
name, but he was like well,yesterday I was hanging out with
a boy named Tom in America, andthe other day I was hanging out
with this girl named blah blahfrom I don't know Germany, and
today I came to you in yourdream to see you see me, you
(26:21):
know, in Japan.
Wow, that's cool.
Yeah, he was like yeah, so Itravel around the world, you
know, going into kids dreams.
And I was like oh well, that'sreally cool.
And I was like well, can I seeyou again?
He was like well, if you remaina good girl, I will eventually
come see you in your dream.
I remember that.
(26:41):
Did he come back?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
No, not yet.
Maybe I'm not being good enough, I don't know.
Well, maybe he aged, becausethat was when you were five, so
he could now be much older.
He appeared in a different form, potentially a much older self.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Well, I feel like he's going to remain young for
some reason.
Yeah, Like if he appears that'sa cool dream isn't it?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I think he's not real .
Yeah, but I'm just kidding.
Do you guys remember when wewere little?
We would say let's hold handsand see if we can be in the same
dream.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
I don't remember.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
You don't remember that I don't know which one of
you.
I tried it when I thought likeif it was both of you, I was
gonna say but how can you?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
we were not even in the.
In japan, we're all sleeping onthe when we were really a lot
younger and I we've tried itmultiple days and then obviously
it didn't work.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
I don't think we would share our dreams and it
was never the same.
Speaking of that, that remindsme you know how I used to put
the kids to sleep when they wereyounger is because they would
not want to go to sleep.
I used to say, okay, well,let's meet in your, in our
dreams, where do you want tomeet?
And then they'd be like excited.
Oh, I remember we used to dothat too.
(27:56):
Oh, really, that I don'tremember, but I remember trying
to get into each other's dreamswhen we were little by holding
hands.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
We thought that would work.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
That's cute.
I do not remember that.
We must have been really young,like you said.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Yeah we were young Holding hands.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, I guess we were all in a bedroom.
We had bunk beds.
I mean, I was on top, tomo, youwere on the bottom and Sumi was
on the ground.
Is that right, sumi?
Was she in the same room?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, were you on the ground?
I don't think I was on theground.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
Was I on the ground?
I don't remember her in thesame room?
I don't either.
Okay, she was probably with herfather and mother.
We'll have to ask them.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well, probably because I have fallen from the
top bunk before, you must havenot been directly by the bunk
bed oh, you know, I used to getyelled at by my mother because I
used to wet the bed.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Remember till I was in first grade yeah you were bad
and I remember specificallythis one time.
Speaker 4 (28:59):
I had a dream and I had to use the restroom and I
went to use the restroom, I saton the toilet and I went and I
remember I woke up in real lifeand I was going and I was trying
to explain to her about that.
I was like I was going, I wentto the bathroom and then then,
and I was really trying so hardto tell her I was really trying
(29:20):
to go to the bathroom and shewas just yelling and I was so
trying so hard to tell her I wasreally trying to go to the
bathroom and she was justyelling and I was so mad I was
like, but you couldn't tell itwas.
You were dreaming right at thetime.
Of course I couldn't tell.
I really thought I went to thebathroom.
But, like I don't know if ithappens to you guys, but
sometimes that happens to me,where I I mean not recently,
especially in college I used todo this because it was hard for
me to wake up to go to morningclasses in college because I
(29:43):
would stay up so late at night.
Anyway, I would like half wakeup, half be asleep and then, but
then I would fully in my mindget ready for class and then I
would really wake up again.
I'm like, well, I'm stillasleep.
I thought I thought I got readyand I'll do it again, over and
over and over again.
It doesn't happen anymore, butin college that happened all the
(30:04):
time.
I would literally like getready 10 times before I actually
woke up to actually get ready.
I thought I was getting readyevery single time and it'd be so
annoying.
Does that happen to you or?
Speaker 3 (30:15):
yeah, yeah, I've had those dreams when I'm getting
ready to go to school or to work.
It's so annoying, right, yeah,and I'm really exhausted the
moment I wake up.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Yeah, that's when it was for me in college that's
never happened, but well, Iremember a dream where I was
bawling my eyes out because youdied, and so I was crying and
crying and I remember waking upand I was still crying yeah,
crying.
It's kind of similar to how didshe die?
I wish I remember I was cryingand crying and I remember waking
up and I was still crying.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
Crying.
It's kind of similar to your.
How did she?
Speaker 2 (30:42):
die.
I wish I remember 真正活的来。 butthat's the only time where, like
, I was dreaming and I woke upand I was still crying, like you
said.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
I was eaten by T-Rex.
I was split in half.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Oh my, gosh, that's so painful.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember this, but with
crying.
I don't think I've ever donethat, but I do remember when I
was in this is again, I think,half asleep, half awake moment.
I remember in Japan when I hadthis dream, I was walking with a
letter in my hand, walking tothe post office, and then the
alarm went off or something.
I woke up, like my eyeshappened to be on my hand when,
(31:27):
like the first thing and Iremember it was almost like the
letter like disappeared, almost.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I just kind of remember that where, like I
think I remember you telling methis I transitioned.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Yeah, I do yeah, I only remember it.
You know happening to mesomething like that happening to
me one time, but I think it waslike the transition of like,
from asleep to waking up.
I I remember having that letterin my hand and my eyes just
went there when I first woke upand it just looked like the
letter had just like disappeared.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Yeah, so we have a friend.
We, as in my husband and I,have a friend who kept dream
journal, which I think is asmart idea.
He would just slip notebookunder his pillow with a pen and
he said that as soon as he wokeup he would write about his
dreams that he had, becausethat's the time you're more
likely to remember.
You know when I wake up.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I need the light because it's pitch dark.
Does he turn the light on towrite that yes for?
Speaker 3 (32:25):
sure I think it was either one of you guys that said
that when you would have likefurikake in your pocket and if
the bad guys come and get you,you sprinkle them with furikake
and they'll just run away.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
I feel like you said that was it I?
Think, I think, I think youused to tell me that you would
not sprinkle, but like shurikenmitai ni, like a star knife or
whatever the ninjas carry.
I think you told me that youused to use it as a weapon and
just throw it at people.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
I guess it was me.
Then I thought it was someone.
Sometimes I will remember that.
Oh, I can just sprinkle themwith furikake.
I remember it was someone.
I think, yeah, but sometimes,yeah, I will remember that I, oh
, I can just sprinkle them withfurikake.
I remember it was furikake,like, like, like so you have to
explain what furikake is.
Can I explain furikake?
Speaker 2 (33:11):
well, it's like seasoning that flavored yeah the
japanese people like to putyeah on top of rice.
Yeah, yeah, kids love it.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Yeah, but sometimes a bottle will be empty and they
get me.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
No, I mean, from what I understood, you were carrying
furikake packets, no it was ina bottle.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
It was a bottle type.
Speaker 4 (33:31):
I thought that's what you used to tell me, but I
don't know.
