I'm basically re-doing the bot run from earlier today because there were major issues identified in the DreamBot. I don't find this accidental, but I do want to clarify that the problem we had today did not seem to be at all man-made. There was something extraordinary happening that if someone wanted to create this bot problem, of the sort we had this morning, I'm not really sure if that would be feasible for some human to create. We basically had half a run, as you can clearly see in this morning's run.

And even though there was only half a run, we had two huge word memes popping up to warrant a Red Alert. However, one of those words was clearly Christmas-based "day residue," meaning that people were simply dreaming about what they are infatuated with currently, which apparently was chopping down an evergreen tree, shaking it off, and bringing it home (that was this morning's run).

Brief synopsis of today: Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. I was looking for solutions to our dreambot problem, and couldn't find one. Kept trying to re-run it in hopes of it fixing itself. Not until 40 minutes ago, when I pressed "run," it ran with ZERO issues! And if someone wanted to prevent a run from happening, I'd say that today was the day. Not only was our dream data spot on for the mega drop in the market today (http://nationaldreamcenter.com/forum18/s...hp?tid=438), but the Red Alert is no longer "day residue" based, but rather something now very alarming.

Notice how that every ounce of day residue of Christmas tree shopping has withered and disappeared in this new run tonight. In it's place: 5 words worthy of the old DreamBot standard for Red Alert, and the top one is a very common name...Jim. So, we have Jim Fireworks Apocalypse Chain Blow...all of those worthy of Red Alert status. If we want to go by our new standard, we're looking at "only" three big words: Jim Fireworks Apocalypse.

Okay, so the rest of the run is very interesting. The first few words seem like a correct combination, especially combining Fireworks, Apocalypse, Blow, and Stars. But now look lower on the list...the rest of the words are all Caution-level words, including Shaking, Visible, Aliens, Advice, SKY!! Holy cow. We've got ourselves a sky fest going on here now!

   

ACTION: We need maximum support from all dreamers on this. I want a non-P3 mission created inside the Dreams, Memes, Headlines forum establishing an official mission using the next mission number from P1 (for ease of inputting the dream into the DreamBase). ALL dreamers are encouraged to participate in the incubation for this new Red Alert. Basically, you'll choose to incubate about a certain word or phrase and how that relates to a future headline (call it the rest of December 2014 for the timeline). Dreamers will put your dreams into the 2.0 DreamBase and then discuss your dream inside the mission thread, TBD (I'll provide links later). In the 2.0 DreamBase, you'll right up your dream and the mission will be coincident with the TBD mission name (Should be completed before tomorrow morning, so check back here before you submit your dream tomorrow. If you're new here and would like to participate but it looks too confusing, then just ask a question here or send me an email: NationalDreamCenter (at) gmail (dot) com.

New dreamers welcome! Please proceed to http://nationaldreamcenter.com/forum18/s...hp?tid=449 for more information on how you can participate.

For DreamForecasters, Please note that Edna (who dreamt about ebola before it showed up) has the last dream input into the dreambase at the time of this writing, and the content is???    ALIENS. http://www.nationaldreamcenter.com/dream...on_Daniken

TIMING: Typically these non-name or non-location smoking memes take place within hours, but since a Name is at the top of the list, I'm thinking we have some time to play with all of this. Our average for big name memes is about 21 days, so I'd like the incubations to be relevant to the rest of December (i.e., that's why I chose December to begin with, plus, the fact that December has increased in every run so far).

MISC STUFF:


How about something funny in this most recent run: "(Uncle) Sam Cutting (pork spending)"  Ah HAAA HA! You bet they aren't!


Something else of interest....the only word here that isn't at their all-time high is Professional. That's significant because it means all the others ARE at their all-time high. That is rare. Bottom line: Collective is SURGING on Jim, Fireworks, Apocalypse and the whole SKY meme. Dare I say that this almost sounds a bit like Sky Flash again, except this time, Aliens are definitely in the picture here.

As far as eliminating Day Residue for the Jim character, I suppose this could be about LaBron James' gaffe when he gave Kate Middleton a half-hug (Buckingham Palace says no foul): http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf/..._on_l.html


Oh, almost forgot 208 words increased today while the dreambot was broken. That's very significant based on my comments from this morning's run.

Lastly, while you're here, will you please help us with this year's top 10 countdown? I know it's tough picking the top one, but just go with your first impression. That forum is here: http://nationaldreamcenter.com/forum18/s...hp?tid=444

Sitting at a table across from Eric.
I was having an intense discussion with Erich Von Daniken about UFO alien's intelligence according to legends and myths. There seemed to be one rule in our discussion and that was we could not use religion in our discussion.
The story as often stated is that these alien's are/were so much smarter than we mere humans since their tools, method of travel, skills in manipulation of DNA and technology were so advanced and we were cave men with nothing but the hair on our backs and a few rocks.
He once again was telling me that without the alien assistance we would have stayed that way.
I was saying that I did not believe that at all. I said that in every group of animals there is at least one smarter/stronger than the others and that one usually became the leader. In human groups they became the assistant to the leader if not "

Hmmmm, troubles today with mr. dreambot. If I get him back up, I'll post the memes here.

A few nights ago I had a wave dream - Big Waves hit a resort

I got to thinking about the dream. I haven't lived through a tsunami, but from what I've read, what I saw wasn't a tsunami. The water didn't roll out into the wave, leaving the shore dry until the wave finally comes in, and simply pushes over everything. I've additionally done a lot of shore diving, where I've had to go through waves, sometimes quite large. In my dream, a huge wave hit me, and I barely had to hold on. That's not what happens in even a small wave. When I had wave dreams 7-8+ years ago, I was always going to a local pool or hunkering down in my house, and after "the wave" went through I had to hold on for dear life, and afterwards I had to climb up through the water over 100 feet only to see the nearest land was miles away when I reached the surface. And that was with the waves coming to my house that was about 900 feet above sea level.

Reading descriptions in other dreams, while a wave is there, I don't get the impression of a real oceanic wave. If it wasn't a real wave, that indicated it was symbolic. Engineer that I am, I decided I'd be scientific and try an intention - "Tonight I will dream about what symbolic meaning of the waves are in the dreams, when the first wave hit, and when the next wave will hit". This is what I got Impressionist Painting of a wave.

Maybe my intention was too specific and guided what I got as a dream. Or maybe I got a real hit, and "The Wave" is symbolic of something else. "The Wave" hits Hawaii to Florida in different dreams? Hmmm, it sweeps from one end of the country to the other? That would destroy the entire country if not the entire world, and yet people see something beyond that. Doesn't seem like it could be a real wave to me.

A wave could be a lot of things. A long time ago, I had some dreams where a pin would hit, and like a tuning fork there was a resonance that grew and grew and grew, eventually going from the point of origin through the whole world. In my mind I knew it meant an idea, a meme. For the United States rebellion seems to be the big meme right now; Ferguson wasn't it, and I don't think "I can't breath" is it either, but lots of people are trying to push it. I don't think the general feel of the wave dreams are of a positive nature, but Eagle1 had some ideas in his comment on my dream that fit what I got. I'd like to think there is a positive wave that is going to sweep across the country, maybe it will start on one part of the country or the other and sweep across the nation.

I guess I'm wondering about two things at this point - how specific is "too specific" on an intention, and has anybody else been successful in refining their intentions after a dream?

While I have had a complete absence of any dream (recall)past 3-4 nights, I did want to post this. About two weeks ago, I posted about two unsettling pet dreams I had, same night. Or, perhaps, I only posted about one because the other upset me too much, and I did not want it to be real. Both occurred same time. My one cat had disappeared for six days, vanishing into thin air. Two nights later, I had a very vivid dream, in which this cat simply showed up at the door, which I opened. Within seconds of "seeing" this, I saw another image of his brother, laying sick and dying. I was horrified over this dream. And, it made no sense, since this was a vibrant healthy one and a half year old cat, the son of a rescue. Both dreams came true. Just as I saw in the dream, the missing cat appeared in the middle of the night, scratching at the door, as right as rain (ten days ago or so). Then, yesterday, I found his brother, near death, laying on the ground, curled up. He is still alive, and I am doing everything in my power to prevent this "dream" from coming true. I haven't a clue what happened to this poor cat.

Okay, with the several million Smiths out there, which one is the star of everyone’s dreams? The big talk now is Geno Smith, the 2nd year Jet’s quarterback who apparently declared himself a pro-bowl player despite his twelve interceptions and 2 fumbles this year.  And this isn’t just piddly news (apparently) seeing how many headlines are tackling his comment:

This will be interesting to see if any more Smiths want to claim elite status. Down the list we have “Bear Victor,” and this isn’t first time bear has made it in the top 10, but when looking at the historical chart, this dream word really is violently chaotic. Nonetheless, does Bear Victor imply a Russian win here sometime soon?

2015 is just now making a bid upward, about 2.5 weeks prior, but what do make of the words surrounding 2015: “Learned powerful steps 2015 ARMY competition spot base”

Group 2 is eerie: “Message December Crossed definitely”

In a dark room, looking down at a holographic map of the world, like one of the tabletop battlegrounds seen in movie war rooms. As I studied the map, it zoomed into the southeast Asia area of the Pacific Ocean. There was a flash of light. Huge cloud of black smoke blocked my view of what was occurring in the water. A huge wave rolled out in all directions. Nearby islands and coastlines were obliterated as the water washed over the lands. I watched as the part of the wave that rolled over the Pacific headed towards Hawaii. In what seemed like minutes but was likely hours or days, most of Hawaii was inundated. The wave kept rolling across the ocean until crashing into the coastlines of the Americas. From the Baja peninsula to approximately the Washington coastline, the wave rolled over the coast and flowed inland for miles.

As I continued to watch the hologram, whatever caused the initial tsunami sparked a series of earthquakes and volcano eruptions around the planet. The most serious was a volcano eruption off the coast of Africa that caused another tsunami that took out the Canary Islands and Azores completely. The wave hit the east coast of the US, not as severe as the one that hits the west coast but still severe enough that NYC goes under, as well as any low-lying area. This upheaval causes the New Madrid to activate. The entire US seems to be shaking. I can't see how people are reacting but I imagine utter chaos and panic.
Within minutes, the entire topography of the planet is changed. The US no longer looks like it did before. As everything seems to settle down, I see two flashes of light and following mushroom clouds. One was over the Middle East, the other over the mid-Pacific.

The hologram shifted and became similar to a TV screen. Somehow I knew that what I was going to see was before the tsunamis. A picture came on the screen and I saw leaders from around the world converging on underground bunkers. They seemed to know something was coming and were going to ground, literally. The media reported as if the leaders were still at their posts, misleading the watching public. After the disasters, the leaders did not emerge from their hidey-holes but ruled from their safe places. Their actions angered me because they were busy seeing to their own safety and continued existence and letting the citizens fend for themselves as the world fell apart.

In the dream, I was looking at a painting. It was done by my old airbrush instructor, Sol Dember. As an airbrush artist, he focused on doing things in a realistic manner. He had produced a watercolor painting of a wave; I looked in close at the wave, the details were a bunch of squiggles. Looking in even closer, I believe it was actually writing of some sort. I did not recognize the writing, it was not English characters. I remember commenting "wow, that's a really new style for you" to him.

I "woke up" sitting in some sort of bar, but everything was white, and no drinks were served. Everyone was wearing white robes. Wherever we were, I was with some of my friends from real life, and we all started rejoicing that we had made to wherever we were(heaven?). I seemed to be looking for something.
There was a tv on one of the walls that we all looked to at once. We saw rubble, of what looked to have used to be a great city, maybe NYC. I saw my sister in the rubble, barely holding on to life. I fell to the ground crying. I wanted so badly for her to live and enjoy the rest of her life. My friend came to put his arm around me, but just before it happened I woke up.

It is year-end time, and a couple of people were asking about a list of highlights for 2014. Well, I thought it would be fun to have a countdown of the biggest predictions, and to do that, we need your vote. The concept is simple....you're voting on what you believe is the biggest and/or best prediction from the NDC this year. For the vote, you can either select one of the available choices or you can simply reply and post a different response.

It's that simple. Voting ends on or near the 22nd of December, which will give me time to consolidate the results and prepare a top ten list for the year end review.
