Ragnarok knows that I could almost never read his Four Horsemen threads because the “horrors” (so to speak) were so concentrated in one thread. Yet I’d bet that if he did them now, the pure concentrated evil might just fry the hard drives.

I didn't read the entire thread. I started but got tired of the silly answers.

I think a lot of people are having dreams and such right now. Please are concerned with what they see. They know anytime something very bad could do down. And it is coming through via their dreams. People I know report the same problem.

Generally, through my adult life, I've had funny dreams. I mean wake up laughing my ASS off funny. Rarely remember 'em, I'd love to have some of the dialogue that I know was going through my mind.

Last few weeks, though, I haven't had dreams per se, but I've had that kinda half-sleep, prolonged dozing-off stage kinda like Fairwillows was describing. Last night during that 'twilight' thing, one of the cats knocked a stainless steel mixing bowl off on the tile floor. Damn thing bounced and clanged around for a good ten seconds. I was FULLY in fight or flight mode, instantly, where usually I'll take a half second while getting Little Brother off the nightstand and identify what made the noise, even if it's a thump outside when there shouldn't be any thumping going on. This time, well, it was ....just different. I identified what had happened but was second-guessing what caused it.

No, I don't watch television, nearest neighbor is half mile away by cleared path or 400 yards away through brush. So we're secluded and not easily findable.

This is not like me. Glad I didn't shoot the cat. I kinda like this one....she's been around for almost 17 years.

Was the dream about fleeing the Taliban Airforce?

Because they have one now ya know.

What folks aren't thinking about, is that leaving all of that technology on the ground there, is useless, unless someone teaches them how to use it ;-)

... by the way, basic helicopter flight school at Ft. Rucker, Alabama is over 9 months long!

Ive mentioned the odd dream I had over a year ago, that might come true, which is scary.

It was a 3 part dream and it felt like it lasted a really long time.

Part 1: Pandemic.

It was some type of pandemic going on that was killing many people. We had the cure and was giving it to some people that needed it.

Part 2: Madmax type stuff.

I was with a group of folks. We were armed and looking for supplies.
We came across a building looking and a group of marauders came along trying to fight us.
Apparently we were successful at fending them off.

Part 3: Survival.

I was with a group of folks. We were entering a small city. There was a pub of some sort.
(Nobody was fighting anyone in the town or pub.)
We went in and hung out.
I was there to source info from someone so we went to a private room.
(It seemed like everyone was in survival mode and not caring much for fighting but to help each other.)

The way things are going now, that dream is getting to be closer to reality.

Many years ago I was on a Navy ship. Every night, every night, I dreamed of being on the bridge wing as the sun came up and there were two volcanoes steaming on the coast. As the sun came up a jet came at us from out at sea and it fired two missiles that sunk us with all hands. Mentally I fought the dream every night for months and the dream changed over the weeks to the point where we were sunk, but most of the crew got off.

Months later I was on the bridge wing when we arrived on station. There were the two volcanoes from the dream. I looked out to sea and there was a smudge on the horizon, right on the deck, with a black dot in the middle just like the dream. I was frozen as I watched it approach. The jet did a wing over and passed between our masts with the tip of his wing right at bridge level. The Captain sitting with his coffee and morning reading board was not amused. Fortunately, he did not fire on us. Our radar sucked and they never picked him up. Do not ignore dreams, but your can fight them.

I do a lot of my thinking in my subconscious. As my day progresses I throw data back there in my brain and let it chew on it. Many times I wake up in the middle of the night with solutions that were provided in my dreams. They are always correct.

90% or people dream in black and white with no sound. I dream in full color with surround sound.

There really isn't any more.

I just got the feeling that it was referring to a haji-bob operation.

Beats the hell outta me, there was no context, nothing else.

Just "Operation Scimitar" beamed into my head.

Two Words, that's it.
If you have ever been shot at (and missed) it helps.... believe it or not.

But it is only temporary relief

I'd wonder if some lavender essential oil- either diffused, or a few drops on your pillow, or even
applied to your body, (wrist/temples and/or feet) might help? This, and other bed time rituals
after meditation, such as stories/music/movies usually means that "if" I sleep, I do so beautifully. . .
(n don't fergit yer chamomile teas n huggs : ) )

Funny that you mention this @Dennis Olson . I rarely dream. For the past 2 weeks I have had what I call "twilight" sleep. Can't really say that I have been asleep, but craving a peaceful sleep, and it's not happening. I seem to be saying to myself, "go to sleep" but I'm in a "twilight" place or realm, that is weird, not liked and distressing. I've had 3 horrifying dreams in the past 2 weeks. It's hoards of people, all in distress. I saw 2 people shot in the head and as the gunman pointed it at me, he turned and walked away!!!. I hate nightmares, I can't remember specifics except being terrified. Not liking this, not at all.

I never had lavender oil applied to my feet.

If it helps sleep I might try it.

I have big feet

A good laugh before bed tends to help too. I like that and smooth jazz; I usually sleep well.

One thing to keep in mind is that for many in the USA, we are at the end of season being able to garden outside.

We're at the tail end of ours right now and what more we will get depends on first frost and first freeze.

If you don't have the equipment or the seeds, you might want to add sprouting seeds and containers. No matter how much you put up and save, it will run out and you always want to be able to add fresh greens and the like to a diet of canned or dried food. Be sure to add some extra grow light bulbs as well.

The start of the harvest season is also a trigger for many
humans to feel a sense of pressure to get er done- iirc we
see some anxiety round bout this time as a usual matter o' course.

I'm all things lavender! I douse myself with it nightly, wrists, neck, pillow. I'll give my feet a sprinkle tonight!. I also drink chamomile tea on a regular basis, I love it. You are so sweet, thank you for your concern....HUGS sweet Friend :rs: I had asked God to communicate with me....maybe he's showing me what's coming, or maybe I should stay away from the news, I'm not sure which is the answer. Praying God's blessing and guidance for all of us.

The odd thing is that I almost always remember my dreams. But not these. None of these at all.

Perhaps they aren't dreams at all? Not dreams, but premonitions? Been having a "waiting for the next shoe to drop" gut feeling for the past week or so. It's close to 9/11 so I get a little edgy around this time. This gut feeling is different-like the clock is ticking and about to run out type feeling. No dreams that I can remember either. But you "know" something is going to happen. Almost like you want to just sit down and wait for it to happen; like "let's get it over with".

I agree with KJs suggestion to have the pen and paper near your bed. The more quickly you can put it into words, the better. In years past, I noticed that the true meaning of many of my dreams was easily decoded with plays on words and puns.

Although your dreams may seem to describe a general unavoidable dystopia, it’s possible that the warnings, if they are warnings, are much more specific and limited in duration. And avoidable, at least for you. They might offer a clue about a specific place or person.

Also, a page from Carlos Castenada: when you realize you are dreaming, look at your hands. You will be able to do this, and this could help you to have better participation in your dreams.

Even small exposures to nature, walking barefoot, etc, can help.

After destruction, there is rebuilding, by those who can keep their wits and imagine a much better world.

About every third night for the past couple weeks, I’ve been having a recurring dream of something terrible coming, that will destroy our society. The last episode was this morning around 4 am. I can never remember the content, only that it leaves me distraught and afraid. I have no history of dreams like this. I remember enough about the dreams to know that the wheels are already in motion. Each dream is not a repeat, but a continuation of the “story.”

I told myself this morning when I awoke from it to remember. But I still couldn’t. Something very bad is coming. Soon. It’s in the dark up around the bend in the road.
Dang. You think your A/C is about to give out?
