The Dream Company Epospde 44

This episode was recorded February 3, 2023. Nithish begins with a dream where he meets himself 20 years in the future, and he's able to talk to his future self and change our destiny by going back in the recent past to avoid disaster and to change my personal destiny by going into the future and preventing my death by motorcycle accident. His future self then tells him time-related things about Supermind, which Nithish will experience as an adult he's told. Nithish and I give different interpretations for his dream, and I believe we are both right. You may want to shoot me when I give my interpretation of his dream.

Mithun relates a dream where he's Spiderman in a large city, and he's trying to prevent an auto-taxi from crashing. He does many heroic deeds for the city, and they honor him by all the citizens standing in the street and holding in their hands large flames. My interpretation of his dream is simply wrong, but Mithun is able to show what the dream relates to in his present life.

Douglas has a dream where he's watching as an observer, and Skeletor has taken over the world, but only the ground part of it, as He-Man is in his sky castle not too bothered by what's going on down below, and he's able to interpret the dream in relation to an upsurge in anxiety he had during the day that affected his body and his emotions, but not his mental self. He discusses how dreams use characters from contemporary media, especially heroes, as a  mythos our dream maker draws from to give us symbols and meaning in dreams.

Finally I share a dream where a giant starfish has taken control of a large city but is not killing people, only taking over people's mind, not everyone, just people the monster is selecting, but everyone in the city if affected and in danger of being taken over and controlled. As I watch Nithish get ready to battle the thing, he just about to get caught in its tractor beam, I become lucid and just drop the dream scenario and began calling Lisa Rottweiler so to rescue her on the other side. It takes three successive lucid dreams before she comes, and it's at a bus stop where the four of us, The Dream Company, are gathered together. We really pet our dog.

We wrap up the episode with a discussion of how being lucid in a dream depends a lot on how much life force you have, Douglas saying that's the reason many times you just wake up in bed without any warning.
