I was tired, and laid down for a short nap this afternoon. It wasn't long, before I was asleep.

I hear the simple phrase, 'you wanted to know', and then I see a giant swamp - as far as the eye could see. It was hot, muggy, misty, almost primordial. I look to the 'north' (feels like north), and see a city - but the city (through the overgrown spanish moss and hanging green vegetation) looks like it was hit with a nuclear weapon, or has been nearly destroyed by war. I can't see much of it, because of all the trees and vegetation. I am standing in a swamp, with shallow, very-clear water, mud, crickets and bugs making noise - and hear, 'they won't be here at this time'.

I feel like the city I see is Birmingham, Alabama, and I'm not sure why (I've never been there).

It was so overwhelming, so realistic, I felt like sweating! I then hear one more thing, 'look at the ground, it will shake first'.

So...I wake up (hard to sleep after that one), and find the USGS site. I look at their seismic events map, and found the '7-day historical events' map amazing - it shows a ring of earthquakes around the area I thought I saw in the 'on-the-ground' image. I grabbed a capture, marked it up, and put it up so that I could share the link:

I am standing on a shipping-receiving dock, and an old fully-enclosed sea-faring crate is sitting in front of me with a singular (large) number stenciled on it's front face:

145850.....-1 (total of 10-characters plus that -1), but I don't remember the last 4 digits.

Then I hear, 'THIS IS FOR AMERICA', but I feel that it is not fluffy kittens in the box. I don't take it as evil, either, but I hazard to say that it almost felt like some 'truly earned package' that no one desires to take delivery of.

-----------------

Next dream:

(I build computer systems and contract specific programming jobs in real life)

In the dream, I am looking at a personal desire to build an array of Raspberry Pi Computers into a multi-core array to make a mini-super-computer (something I have seriously considered doing in my waking time, too), and I hear a response to my consideration of 'well, you have a little over 2-months before you return, but I don't think you can accomplish that before then'.

--------------

Not the first time I have had one of those 'you are finished and coming back soon' responses in a dream before, and it doesn't really bother me either way, but does make me wonder if something else in the world is going to occur this summer?

Ok, this has come up quite a bit lately, and I really try not to dwell on it too much. If you are old enough to remember the 70's then you also know they weren't as great as a whole, as many younger ones might think they were. I mean, you had OPEC embargoes, violence, discrimination (RAMPANT), and scores of other bad considerations that often reigned over the 'nice things' (like the last of the old musclecars, fields of daisies, 'back-to-nature' efforts, and calm peaceful summer days. That said, it was another time, maybe in some ways a more 'innocent time' (I prefer to say it more as 'the world's evils just hadn't incorporated yet via high speed connectivity').  Either way, I was there throughout the whole thing - and having a good-to-exceptional memory, remember a LOT of it (then again, I remember watching the 'moon landing' in '69, and Walter Cronkite and Roger Mudd doing body counts on TV, too).

That said, all this week, I am just getting barraged by 'vivid memories' of the '70's - but strangely, almost solely only the 'good things'. I remember 'cruising around' town, playing pool, going to the lake, going fishing, a couple of 'longer-term' girlfriends, and doing household chores. Good grief, I'm even seeing events that happened in school at the lockers! (keep in mind, this was 40-years ago for me, plus!).


Now, keep in mind, these are not all dreams I am talking about. Yes, I am seeing some of it in dreams, but I can be watching TV and see it. I can be washing dishes and see it. I can be working and see it. It is almost like a catatonic state I am dropping off into, spend a few moments seeing something from the past, and then back in 'the present'. Please, be aware, while I had a pretty tough life, I don't 'mournfully reminisce' about the past. It was good, sometimes great, sometimes terrible. It was what it was, but it IS the past - and I don't hang onto it. I don't even really speak of it often to others (not face-to-face).

Now, to compound it all - I was washing dishes this AM (went to bed too early last night, wrote them off until the AM), and I happen to hear a Burger King commercial on TV using a '70's tune and theme to sell their burgers! I caught the end of it, and amazing enough, McDonalds follows that with a burger commercial ALSO using '70's theming and tunes!

What does all this mean? I'm a realist, I don't expect a rewind to a 'younger age', or a 'golden age', and to be truthful, to me a golden age is much longer back than that. I wanted to post this because I wanted to see if any other 'age-similar-peers' getting anything like this, too? Maybe more than just 'my age group' is getting this, too. Are others seeing anything related to all this '70's theming? If you are much younger than 40 right now, you probably don't understand half of it, or if you think you do, you probably aren't getting it in the right context, unless someone 'else' is showing you.

Any comments?

The dream starts with my driving along a country road on the way to a gathering. Then I am in what looks like a country cabin meeting with other people. When it was time to leave, I thought about staying for the night, then thought, no I can't.  

I get in a car and start driving along a county road. Suddenly I see a lot of activity ahead of me. When I get closer, to the right of the road in an empty field surrounded by big boulders or hills, I see 1/2 of a round UFO on the ground. The other 1/2 of the UFO is scattered in pieces in the field. I looked closer and see there are numbers next to each piece like you would see on a archeological dig.  There are people who I think are scientist of all sorts, working at this site. It was not like you see in the moves with military and people in hazmat suits.  The land to the left of the road is on higher ground than the area where the UFO crashed. There are people up there taking pictures of the crash site. They remind me of tourist, so I am thinking ok, maybe this is just a tourist attraction. Then a thought came to me, yes, that's right, it's just a tourist attraction.    

The next scene I am in the downtown area of a large city that I think is Northern City. I find the building I am looking for. In the building there is a museum, school, food court, music, a doctors office and so on. I find a place to sit and see a man walk by that I think is a doctor. I ask him if he can scan me and check all my organs to make sure they are working properly. He smiled and didn't say anything so I asked again and he said, sure just make an appointment.  

I told someone that I needed to leave and hoped that I could find my car because I can't quite remember where I parked it. Then I notice I am not wearing shoes. Someone gave me silver/grey colored walking shoes.  I left the building and sure enough, I could not find my car. As I was walking around the outside of the building, it started getting dark and I was not happy because the night people were starting to come out. So I thought, while looking for my car I will do my best to blend in.

Someone asks me, what are you doing out on the streets? I said, looking for my car. They said, you are welcome to come along with us while you look. I said, thank you and I walked along with them for a while.  Then I stopped walking & looked all around me and saw: an apartment complex with children out front banging a shopping cart against a dumpster, a group of people laughing and walking into a Jazz nightclub, 3 or 4 people next to a wall lighting a drug pipe, and food trucks setting up for the night. All of this activity seems so normal to everyone here. Someone walked by asking me to join them in the Jazz Club and I said thank you but no I need to go home. He smiled and said, nice shoes , oh and just remember you are welcome anytime if you change your mind.  

The dream ended with my finding the parking lot, but my car was not there. I stood there wondering if I had left the car there before I went to the meeting in the country and maybe it was here too long so the city towed it away. Then I thought, dang now I will need to find a policeman to ask about my car. At this point I am in a great deal of emotional stress. Then I thought, wait this is a dream, this is not really happening, no reason to stress, you just need to wake up, so I did.

Afterthoughts: I think the UFO crash was the real deal, not a tourist attraction.

30 th April 2016

There was a seminar i was attending. And after the seminar the lecturer, a woman who stood behind her desk was talking about that she could send us an e-mail with the texts relating to the seminar. I thought this was good. Also like this i could get more connected with other people. Some people then gave her the e mail adress. 

Associations:

I am attending a grouptalk at the community garden Seminar = Latin ralted to seeds, sowing... I received a mail yesterday by one woman of the Garden. Then i also attended a kurdish event where a woman told us about what she has seen in Kurdistan during the Newroz Festival. 
After i saw there was a paper where one could write his email and then i would be on a mailing list for related information. I put my e mail on it, too. I got to know the community garden because of a seedsharing event supporting Rojava, the syrian kurdish people. I saw the poster at the same location the kurdish event was yesterday. 



Conclusion:

The dream can show us, how emotions and materials we receive and give in waking life, are or can be related.

30 April 2016

I was talking to my little sister Marilola, and i was thinking if i should tell her i got to know a woman i might like. 
I got to know the woman in a squatted builing. A meal was a theme which that remembered me of cooked crowbar I used to eat in Paraguay. I also said i had something similar once. This was in a squatted building it seemed to be in the north of italy. 
Then we spoke of a squatted village in the woods (Like a jungele) in the south of italy (Apulia or Calabria). This was a touristic village, with many visitors. But also dangerous because it was forbidden. And for both of us it was too much forbidden, we did not want to go.  we spoke on, and i thought of how to tell her that i would like to talk to her again. I thought how to do this correctly. 
Then i saw my friend Waltraud, a german woman i know from the north of italy and she was sort of a pair with my friend sandro who`s name in the dream was sebastian ( and something like odho was his second name). Waltraud wrote or sprayed his name on a marked parking lot. 

Associations:
I saw a friend of my sister marilola yesterday, but only saluted her. There was a meal before a kurdish event I visited at te Inselstrasse in Basel, and I met several people I knew there. There were pots with pasta and soup and a bowl with salad and everybody could eat as much he wanted and pay as much as he wanted. (Many years ago i used to live at a squatted place where there were meals like this, too).
I went to the Kurdish meeting because of my friend Waltraud, who was a nurse for the kurdish people in the Iraqi civil war. My friend Sandro (who in real life lives i Austria) was named Sebastian in the Dream. and a friend Sebastian lives on the same Block but on the opposite parallelstreet named Ackerstrasse.

I was in a bus with a group of people and as we came up upon a group of three bright colored tents in a triangle at the end of the street I asked the other people in the bus, could you do that?

Inside where three rows of 3 military sleeping cots, and on top of the cots was a stack of 3 more cots. Total of 27 cots in each tent, and just behind the cots were three tables and folding chairs.

No frills boot camp. I jumped out of the bus, and was instantly put into some very heavy weights around my wrists, and a fat suit, and i went to do an obstacle course.

First up was the padded pole to kick, then the speed bag, but my arms were so sore from the weights! Then I ran behind the neighbors shed, and down to the beach to run on the beach.

I woke up sweating and panting and now my arms are sore...

I think this is my body begging for exercise, either that or i was fighting someone in my sleep again! LoL No cats to punch any more in my sleep!

29th April 2016

I dreamt of a theaterplay in the woods. It seemed to be connected with anthroposophic thoughts, that the people who performed knew antrhoposophic people. The spectators were watching towards the wood, and the actors, ( 2 women and 1 man ) flew from left to the right over the evening sky. I could see some stars, and the actors where also like a moving constellation. But they flew very far in the landscape. It was talked about how far they flew, something with 4 kilometers too far. They flew sort of in to plains. Then the theme was how to look for the actors. And several people entered the woods to look for them or for something of them. 
After a while one i saw a man walking in the trees, it was as if there was a rope in the trees and he walked sometimes on the rope, sometimes on the trees. He held a jacket by its collar in his outstreched forarm. The man had long hair, but also seemed to be Adrian, called Adi,and was sort of in trance.

Associations:

Adi is in real life a gardener with whom i went to same school with. Adi is also the brother of elena with who i also went to school with. 
on an other 29th I dreamt of a jacket I received as I once have helped elena, his sister. My father is called Adrian, too and is an antrhoposophe. I went to work in the community garden today. Then I also found a document of my former lawyer Waldmann, in german man of the woods. The stars were sparkling as i came home. My sister is a costume designer and worked at several theaters.
