Welcome to Gaia! ::

I almost never dream, or at least never have any that i remember. But there is one in particular that I still remember very well.
My dream: (don't know how else to start it)
I was outside sweeping the front porch when I heard these loud voices of two men walking down the street. For some reason the hair on the back of my neck rose (or however the phrase goes) and I ducked down behind the bushes in my front yard. I watched the two men walk by, my heart pulsing madly in my chest. The moment they had past my house, their backs to me, I snuck back inside as quietly as possible. I then went to the dinning room and watched them behind the window shades. They turned and began to head back to my house, their steps hurried. I ran and got my mom, little brother, and dogs into the basement (that doesn't exist in real life). I had them hide behind some boxes, and leashed my dogs near my mom. I then pulled out a shotgun and positioned myself diagonally from my door. The door opened and the men walked in, rifles in hand. I shot them both in the knees. The police came and took the men away. I was really freacked out about what happened and decided that I needed a guy friend with me. I then grabed the phone and started to call my ex-boyfriend (I broke up with him due to my own issues and had dropped contact with him) my conciousness then kicked in and I (awake me not dream me) wondered what the hell I was doing calling him. He lived half an hour away and I hadn't talked to him in over a month. (this dream took place during summer break. he and I sat at the same lunch table during school) I then took control of my dream and called a guy friend who lived 3 minutes away walking-time, telling him what happened and that I needed a guy friend just then.

I woke up after this, still shaken cause the dream was freakishly real, and then thought about what it meant. I had dropped contact with my ex because I just didn't want to risk going out again and then dumping him again if I ran into more of my own issues. And I was having 'what if' thoughts about the friend I made my dream self call after dream me tried to call le ex. After several minutes of pondering, I decided my subconciousness was trying to tell me to get back in touch with my ex. I called him the next day, started talking with him daily once more and we now have been happily dating again for almost a year. Feels kind of weird posting the dream because I've never even told him about it. (Now I can't invite him to the guild, biggrin )
So...think I got the meaning of the dream right?

absolutely. it's the mind giving itself something to do while we recuperate. it's also when the subconscious can surface the easiest, because logic and reason are suspended.

Some dreams, as they may be, were visions for myself, as seeing something twice for the first time is odd enough, such as a room high above the ground, looking upon a book of science, remembing I had done the same thing before, yet never having done it. Perhaps I am part Oracle, yet upon not having progressed to such a form, only partial, understanding much of life, yet unable to express it?

sounds to me like lucid dreaming. lucid dreaming is when in your dream you become *aware* that you are dreaming, and with that knowledge you can control what happens. there is a process to learning how to dream lucidly and it can take a lot of practice, but it is a true phenomenon. smile

I know what you both mean, and I'm aware of that, but my question isn't what you bolded, lilraine, it's the sentence right after it. "But lately I haven't been able to do that. I turn and try to do something, but nothing happens. No fire, magic, attacks, nothing. I'm worried about what that might mean." I've known about 'lucid dreaming' since I was younger, but I seem to be losing that 'ability' (I make it sound like a talent or something xP) And I'm wondering why.
