Dreams | appeared | and stayed lucid | for a change.

I was in a hilly area. There was a ridge with a steep dropoff that swept up behind me. I stood near the banks of a stream. It was sunny and bright. Up on the ridge, there was a man who lived in a cabin whose roof was barely visible from down below. The man had dropped ropes off the edges of the cliff at various intervals. Each rope was secured to anchors up on the ridge, and each was numbered with a degree of difficulty rating. Daily, the man would appear along the ridge, climb down one of the ropes, and then work his way back up to the ridge. Although it looked randomized, he chose the ropes and difficulty levels intentionally. I was somehow related to the man and the ropes even though I was not up on the ridge.

In a second part of the dream, I spotted a furry, cat-like creature walking silently through the undergrowth where the steep part of the hill met the bank of the stream. I watched the creature move noiselessly through the underbrush and make its way to a place where there was path that led toward the water. When the creature stepped away from the brush, I noticed a small black bug-like creature trailing the cat animal. It walked along behind the cat animal and sometimes jumped onto the cat animal's back, riding as the cat animal moved. There was something symbiotic about the way the black bug creature stayed with the cat animal, something that was beyond just hitching a ride. They were a pair--they were tied to each other in some way.

The cat animal veered onto another path that led to a rustic building nestled up against the steep ascending wall. The cat animal went inside the building. The black bug creature followed. They both disappeared into the place. I started after them and awoke.

This dream was very tactile, detailed and clear. There were no swirling mists or hazy scenes. Everything was in sharp focus, brightly lit, and detailed. The cat animal was a quirky looking animal with strange fur, definitive markings, but unlike any particular animal. It was part raccoon, part koala, part sheep, part armadillo, and part badger.

The black bug creature was scarab-like. A live black scarab. It had a long black tongue or tail that it used to reach out with and attach itself to the cat animal. It was a dense dark blackness, like an animated lump of coal.

R&B dropped by the area this afternoon. First time I've seen them a quite some time. R is his regular crazy self. They're settled in to their new place with all of their animals. Horses, donkeys, goats, sheep, dog, cat and otherwise. Was good to see them.

People are networking in as my health updates move outward. Good to hear from people. Awoke hungry (and kind of zapped by the dream recounted above--the dream leaves me with a tickle in my belly, in my rebellious Qi) and have eaten a lot today. Still don't feel like I'm hitting on all cylinders, but at least I'm hitting.

I'm usually managing to do a Qigong session when I awaken, and some moves before bed. Seems to keep things on key. Also the chiropractor's work helps as well. Will try and keep that going when I go over the hill. Will get a referral.

Holidays are storming closer. Maelstroms are dancing on the seas. The winds subside.
