I could hardly believe my eyes\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I rolled over to CNN last night to catch the latest headlines. It turns out that our DreamBot (fueled by our collective dreams) located an impossible headline topic that I honestly thought would have less than a zero percent chance of being fulfilled. Recall our article from the wee hours on the night of the 26th<\/sup>\/ morning of 27th<\/sup> entitled Earthchanges, Cops, and Vampires.<\/a> Because I gave the word \u201cVampire\u201d very little credence in the overall report, here\u2019s what I wrote on the matter:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn fact, the lower you go, the worse it gets. Take for example the bottom rung, where the word \u201cVampire<\/strong>\u201d just pops right out\u2026totally in your face<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

Notice that I didn\u2019t even try to investigate the linguistics surrounding vampire because frankly there was too much juicy activity happening above that word. After all, the collective unconscious had already found the \u201cBetter Cop\u201d and we were hypothesizing about \u201cDark person turn world\u201d (the highest linguistics phrase).<\/p>\n

I at least documented that the word was somewhere significant in our linguistics chart, but unfortunately, I didn\u2019t save the adjoining words from that day\u2019s DreamBot2 run. The closest two words from that run that I actually recorded were \u201cjet\u201d and \u201celevator.\u201d So, obviously, I need a better mechanism of recording each run, for times like this!<\/p>\n

So anyway\u2026.the CNN article was very high, garnering the #2 position in the upper left column. The article\u2019s headline was \u201cVampire burial keeps myth alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

(CNN)<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>— Popular literature would have it that the vampire’s preferred habitat is Transylvania (or, if you’re under 15, the slightly less glamorous Forks, Washington). But modern day vampire hunters might better focus their attention on a little-known area of northwestern Poland, where earlier this month a suspected vampire grave was exhumed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Continue Reading\u2026<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The actual article was published on the 28th<\/sup>, but based on the URL, it looks like the article was actually written in about the same time that everyone\u2019s dreams were coming in. Of course, many of the dreams were actually dreamt up to a week prior to the run, but there\u2019s no way of telling whether the vampire dreams were early in the period or later (if I had the time, I could get this data, but going through hundreds of dreams is not something I feel like doing right now).<\/p>\n

I\u2019m now wondering if \u201celevator\u201d had something to do with \u2018below ground.\u2019 It goes without saying how disappointed I am to have lost that data. I have Grady over at Nostracodeus.com looking to see how I can log and save each of my DreamBot runs for time like this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Iron Down even more<\/h3>\n

“Iron ore prices for May are now down 12 per cent for the month.<\/a>” This is apparently wreaking havoc on the Aussie exchange. DreamBot has no further hints on where Iron Ore is headed from here, but we’ve certainly fully confirmed our original Dream Linguistics, that is for certain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Airplane Watch<\/h3>\n

Did you know that the \u201cNTSB is reporting a near miss between<\/a> Alaska Airlines passenger jet and a cargo plane over Anchorage\u2019s Fire Island south of the city\u2019s main airport\u201d on Wednesday, May 28th<\/sup>? They apparently came within \u00bc mile of each other, which doesn\u2019t sound too close, but when that happens in the middle of clouds, all bets are off.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this is as close as we get to the Airplane meme we\u2019re watching.<\/p>\n

The number one headline on CNN was the same meme as our number one DreamBot2 linguistics phrase from yesterday \u201cFound Plane.\u201d Except the actual CNN headline was 180 degrees off of that. Basically, they have NOT found the plane<\/a> in their search of the Indian Ocean (surprised?)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trying something NEW with the DreamBot!<\/h3>\n

I almost was going to call this DreamBot3, but there just wasn\u2019t enough evidence yet that it deserves its own niche. Basically, I can now dissect the dream data in a little different manner, and I\u2019ve decided to look at some of the key highlights that will better help determine the true, overall state of the collective unconscious.<\/p>\n

I have a special mix of colors, emotions, numbers, and even some weather terms that I believe to be indicative of our overall mental states (we\u2019re talking really big picture here). But because this hasn\u2019t been tested at all yet, take this with a grain of salt. After some time of doing this, we\u2019ll know whether one color is always more common than others, but we\u2019ll also be able to see trends from each days\u2019 run.<\/p>\n

Okay, so if I had to guess at the state of the collective right now based on this new regimen, I would say, \u201cpretty good!\u201d At the very top of all words, is the pair \u201cBlack\u201d and \u201cDark.\u201d Of course, this doesn\u2019t necessarily have to imply evil or bad, it\u2019s just a marker that we take note of.<\/p>\n

Next, we see the pair \u201cLight\u201d and \u201cWhite\u201d substantially lower than the previous pair (about 25% lower). Incidentally, the highest emotion is \u201cHappy!\u201d Now, of course, maybe happy is normally the most common, but I supply evidence below to show that it is not (or at least it hasn\u2019t been during earlier research).<\/p>\n

I found these tidbits that are apparently based on Calvin Hall\u2019s excellent work with \u201ccontent analysis.\u201d The following 3 items were found at this link<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most common emotion experienced in dreams is anxiety.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNegative emotions are more common than positive ones.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. ranks the highest amongst industrialized nations for aggression in dreams with 50 percent of U.S. males reporting aggression in dreams, compared to 32 percent for Dutch men.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Therefore, based on the stark difference from Hall\u2019s work and this DreamBot run, I believe that Humanity right now is happier than normal.<\/strong> That\u2019s EXCELLENT news! Just six points below that is another positive indicator: LOVE. Wow, is this just a transitory period, or has Humanity really ascended since Hall\u2019s earlier research? OR, perhaps we have finally made that turn that we were anticipating from our very first linguistics analysis (see Blood Moon Dreams).<\/p>\n

Furthermore, \u201cAngry\u201d is 50% of where \u201cHappy\u201d is, and \u201cFear\u201d is just below \u201cAnger.\u201d We are slightly \u201cColder\u201d that we are \u201cHot,\u201d and we are \u201cCrying\u201d at exactly the same position as \u201cPeace\u201d exists (are we all happy but crying for peace?)<\/p>\n

Weather inside the dreams can sometimes show the inner state of the dreamer\u2026is it stormy in the mind or peaceful and sunny? Well, get this, the collective mind sees \u201cSunny\u201d as the highest weather! \u201cCold\u201d edges slightly higher than \u201chot.\u201d \u201cDry is just below all that by about 7 points.<\/p>\n

Okay, that\u2019s it for the DreamForecast today, how about a new project to really stir things up today?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Project Uno<\/h1>\n

(Starts June 1st<\/sup> and ends June 30th<\/sup>)<\/h2>\n

No registration necessary (other than establishing a DreamBase account).<\/p>\n

As we head into the final days before our #3 Project August report will be published, I have good news. We are going to introduce a parallel project called \u201cProject Uno\u201d for all you competitive dreamers out there. I wanted to do this as a totally separate project, but I just haven\u2019t got the time to do it. Therefore, in order to make this thing work, I attached it to Project August.<\/p>\n

The goal is to see who can dream up the biggest, international headline of the very first day in August 2014. More specifically, what will be the biggest, most popular headline of August 1, 2014? You must have dreamed of this headline\u2026it must not have been imagined, meditated, etc. You must have had a sleeping dream of this headline in order to enter into this contest.<\/p>\n

The procedures will be slightly different than Project August, but the main gist of Project August is still in tact. In fact, these dreams will still be considered Project August dreams (except they\u2019ll be public).<\/p>\n

Dreamers who want to participate will get only ONE ATTEMPT at a headline, and here\u2019s how it will work:<\/p>\n

1. Intend to dream about the biggest international headline for the 1st<\/sup> of August only.<\/p>\n

2. In the morning, go to the Project August category in the DreamBase and type in your dream, but it will be slightly different.<\/p>\n

3. When typing your dream, you must provide your dream details AND you must provide your anticipated Aug 1st<\/sup> headline by typing this: \u201cBIGGEST HEADLINE ON AUGUST 1ST<\/sup>, 2014 WILL BE: [put your headline here]<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

4. Your headline must resemble the dream details you submitted either by way of metaphor or direct representation.<\/p>\n

5. Each contestant will only get ONE attempt. If you try to submit a second headline dream, it will be denied.<\/p>\n

6. All Project Uno dreams will be made public immediately, viewable by the general public, and they will all be under the \u201cProject August\u201d category.<\/p>\n

7. The winner receives non-monetary accolades TBD. We have no money to offer, sorry, but I can offer free advertising or free facebook exposure, something along those lines. If you don\u2019t care about privacy, I\u2019ll post your mug on the front page and give you a chance to highlight yourself. If you do care about privacy, we can work something else out for you.<\/p>\n

8. The actual headline on August 1st<\/sup> (the one that will be used to judge the winning dream) will be determined by me, Chris McCleary, on or about August 2, 2014. The winner may be announced right away or a considerable amount of time afterward (whatever is most convenient to me).<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, these dreams go under Project August. I will know they are Project Uno dreams because of your expected headline in all caps at the end of the dream input. Also remember that you only get one chance, one input. If you don\u2019t like the dream you got, just put it in as a regular Project August dream and try for Project Uno the next night.<\/p>\n
