Jan. 21^st – 22^nd (Mon-Tue), 2008 – False-awakening dream : Dreamt that [apparently, I may have woken, or at any rate was, in what I thought of as my residence (though it was somewhat different in lay-out from any place that I have dwelt in actually)] in a quite dim apartment, tried a pair of switches (on the wall), which on being switched would not turn on any light; and likewise with a 2^nd pair of switches (also on the wall); then next I tried a free-standing post-lamp with 3 buttons to be pushed-in in order to turn on light, but likewise pushing them in did not bring about light. I this point I realized that I must be dreams, and so wondered whether any possible light outside the house in the night might have a supernatural quality to it on account of this being such an unusual sort of dream; so I was about to walk out of the door to my apartment, and (as I thought) would have to walk down 3 flights of stairs in the apartment-house staircase in order of reach the door to the outside at the bottom of the staircase – but at this juncture I woke.

Feb. 4^th – 5^th (Mon-Tue), 2008. I dreamt that :- A man came to me in a room, and told me that capitalism was desirable, that it did good. I answered saying that capitalism was an evil system; and I remarked several times (in different sentences) that it would have to be eliminated. Then when, without his responding to this, he was in the process of departing, I awoke. {This may have been a result of my having pondered, the evening before, my lack of success in converting a college-student, when he and I were attending the University of Nebraska, and he said that high wages cause inflation, and I countered by saying that if high wages caused inflation, so should high dividends on stock; and that neither caused inflation, which was due to governmental expanding the money-supply (as, by printing money excessively).

I had been thinking of that episode because of my wondering whether I would be able to convert my visitor, Matthew Green, away from psycho-analytic anthropology just by citing the harmful effect that false accusations (referring here to false accusations of intended incest etc. made by Sigmund Freud), throughout history; and that anti-Stalinist political prisoners are harrassed by Stalinist Freudian psychoanalysts.}

Feb. 15^th – 16^th (Fri-Satur), 2008. I dreamt that :- I had been thinking (or hearing?) of overthrowing the local government, but began thinking that it would be necessary to overthrow all other local governments in the country at the same time, and that furthermore merely to seize the local government leaders would be useless if the army were to continue to exist hostilely, as it could easily reconquer even locally.

Feb. 24^th – 25^th (Sun-Mon), 2008. Dream :- I was lying on a woman and was thinking of kissing her mouth, but she turned aside her face; so I praised her for giving me the opportunity to speak to her about my liking to kiss a woman, telling her that I would rather say to a woman that I would like kissing her (instead of merely doing it and being hindered by doing it from telling her that I liked doing it). {This is a repraesentation of what I have been doing while awake – telling the woman (Joanna Morgan, inmatess at state mental hospital) who is unwilling to have me kiss her mouth (but willing for me to kiss her forehead and cheeks instead) that I would rather talk about it than merely do it (and be hindered from talking about it by doing it) anyway.}

Feb. 27^th –28^th (Wedne-Thur), 2008. Dream :- I was thinking and saying aloud (partly while traveling as a passenger, along with a driver and another passenger) statements based on my understandings in philosophy -- and while I was with the driver and passenger, I was wondering whether my talking aloud (some of it quite loudly) might be being taken by them as a sign of my being somewhat crazed, as they would not (so I thought) know the philosophical deducing on which the talking was being based. I was mainly thinking about the divine light of dreamless sleep, wondering whether I ought or ought not to feel distressed for (about) not seeing it while awake (including right then, for I apparently thought myself to be awake); and then deciding that there would be no advantage in seeing that divine light while awake, because it was already praesent anyway even during the time when it remained unseen. {Of the persons who I thought might be misunderstanding me (in that dream), the one I thought might most likely so be, I may have been thinking that of on account of the evening before having to be (at the after-the-protest discussion session) with the college professor of history (Mr. Kreml), whom I was fairly aware was none too interested in philosophy nor even in having more reasonable election-laws. [I had been repeatedly saying that in the political elections votes tended to be decided by the overwhelming numbers of the ignorant; but though he agreed with this, he was more interested in (and was describing) the primary elections for nomination of candidates by the Green Party, where this failing would be much less prominent. I thought that this was hardly even significant, since that Party was having very little influence in actual government anyway. I was then thinking to myself that even supernatural entities such as flying saucers would stand a better chance to exert influence than would the Green Party, but I thought it not of use to mention that to him, as he was too intent on what he was describing to even consider anything else.]} Later (?) in the dream I was witnessing (from some distance) an automatic traveling machine which was going about, in an area where worn-out mechanical equipment had been discarded, and somehow destroying such equipment – I was thinking that whoever had designed that machine must have spent on inordinate effort at thinking about destroying. {Perhaps I had gotten to thinking in the dream about that because I considered that people considering politics think too much of destruction, not enough of repairing systems.} Earlier in the dream I had been involved with (my own and another automobile) doing some parking which I thought to be excessively close to other automobiles. {Perhaps I dreamed this because I had been mentioning in the same discussion-session of likely conflicts in cultures, as in tribes etc. in the Near East, if they are ever brought into contact; and that situations may be bringing them too nearly into contact already, possibly occasioning potential strifes.}

Mar 2^nd-3^rd (Sun-Mon), 2008. Dream :- I saw at somewhat of a distance group of women, and heard them speaking to each other, one them saying that they had been "hearing voices" (praeternatural); so I realized that that woman would be of interest to me on account of her experiences, and so I walked over to where they were. Then, as I was unable to recognize which of them had been mentioning "hearing voices", I asked "Which of you was mentioning hearing voices?" – When one of them said that I had been she, I told her "I used to hear voices too". Then she started telling me that her neck had been injured, and that she had been sweating profusely. While I as trying to think of a spiritual relevance of sweating (in order to have something to say to her about this), I woke from the effort of that thought. {In waking life, I had for years cohabited with a woman (Ludi Eason, in Barnesville, GA – Mr Rudolph had, in waking life, just asked me that Sunday of her location and her name, as he had forgotten them after I had mentioned them to her years earlier) who said that she had undergone "whiplash" of the neck (for not having a headrest on the back of her automobile-seat) – she had of course often mentioned hearing voices etc. As for the sweating, I remembered that I had omitted quoting the mention of sweating, in my notes I had posted on the internet – so I looked up those notes, and found that it was a passage about a shamaness (on p. 131 of Dream Seekers – 131 being the # sacred to Arabic numerologists & to Mormons).}

c. March 22^nd-23^rd, 2008 :- Dream :- Large pet tigre came along wide stairway (in which I was walking) to me. I spoke to it in order to mollify it, thinking that I must not make a humming sound (instead of talking), as that could be mistaken by it for hostile growling.

March 23^rd-24^th (Sun-Mon), 2008 :- Dream : I noticed that another man [not realizing I was asleep, I thought of the other persons praesent as humans rather than as deities], in ostensibly obstructing my passing through a narrow passageway, was moving aside (from in front of me to behind me) when I sought to attempt to push on him in order to advance through the passageway, so I thought to myself that he must be doing so because to resist would be too "undignified" of behavior for him. Then I awoke, apparently as the result of thinking this thought which was too complicated for me to remain dreaming. {After awaking, I decided that perhaps the deity’s evading being pushed on was a gentle acknowledgement that I had, in the recent past (when at that time I had realized that I was asleep), stated to the dream-beings that this was a dream and that they were dream-gods; that ever since the dream-beings would always defer to me (in the praesent life, and with enough mindfulness during this one so as to remember this after the praesent life, defer in the future ones as well) simply because they would not have to resist me in order to counteract any foolishness on my part of my non-acknowledgement of their true nature. Resistence by them (as, before then) could have been a compensatory substitute, for my sake, for by lack of acknowledgement to them, done to substitute for future condign punishment.}

March 27^th-28^th (Thur-Fri), 2008 – Dream : I was telling (one at a time, from close up) darky (Negro) men that this was a dream, after I had first tried to communicate that as a thought without speaking (attempted telepathy; I had supposed that they should be able to read my thought just because it was a dream). They, however, did not respond. [Then, I woke, apparently from being frustrated by their non-response.]

March 30^th (Sun.), 2008 during day :- I was wakened from sleep by the sound of musical notes tinkling – on waking, I thought at first that it had been my door-bell being rung; but my doorbell is able to make merely a buzzing sound, instead.

April 1^st-2^nd (Tue-Wedne), 2008. Dream (this was more sexualized, socially, than in the past):- I was in a partitioned-collective sort of dormitory, where, along with other persons, we were watching, through an large open window (from the common hall into their collective room) in the wall [– much like the open window through which food may be passed from a kitchen to a dining room --], the female & male inmates of one room all naked and having sexual relations between the females and the males, in all cases the female taking the penis of the male into her mouth. Remarking as I did about this live scene to other onlookers (male), I also thought to myself that I had not had such opportunity myself for sexual relations with any female[s] there in that dormitory, and that I ought to requaest to be transferred to such a large room having males and females together naked in such a situation for such sexual opportunity. (Thereupon I woke.) {perhaps my experiencing this sexual scene was due to my taking notes [for my website] on an African tribe, as part of notes on a book on ethnoastronomy – Africans are noted for their sexual freedom; and the astrology might be empowering my wishes from the waking-world into the dream-world.}

Apr 15^th-16^th (Tue-Wedne), 2008 :- I dreamt of my feeling on the vulva of a woman (both of us were standing) : at first she pushed my hand away from her vulva; then I realized that I must have been allowing my fingernails to touch her vulva, so that I next was careful not to allow the fingernails of my hands to touch her vulva when I reached again to her vulva with my hand, and she then did not push it away – her vulva felt wet. {This had reference to the woman with whom I used to cohabit in Chicago; she used to tell me that my fingernails hurt her vulva, so that I had to be cautious not to allow my fingernails to touch her vulva.}

April 20^th-21^st (Sun-Mon) 2008 :- I dreamt that : I was facing and touching a white-bearded man who was saying to me that he had not had sexual relations with any man in 40 years – it seemed from his saying this that he wished to do so with me. {I had read (and written a note, to put on the internet) a day earlier of the custom in a South American tribe for men who marry each others’ sisters to, before doing so, have homosexual relations with each other; then earlier in the same night read of Akkadian dream-god named Zaqiq, a name apparently derived from <ibri^ zaqen ‘beard’.} [later in same dream,] I also dreamt something else (I forget what by now) also taken from the same passage that I had read that night. [I woke, thereupon dreamt that] I was typing up a note on this dream. [after returning to sleep, I woke again, and dreamt again that] I was typing up a note on this dream.

April 28^th-29^th (Mon-Tue), 2008 :- I dreamt that : I was in a room where women were lying awake, 2 of them in each bed. I chose to go to the foot of the bed of where a woman was lying nude, kneeling so as to have my chin on the bed nigh her feet – she thereupon remarked, "He put his head down there". I wondered whether this remark denoted enough approval as to be suggesting for me to put my mouth to her vulva; but decided that it did not, being not specific enough to imply that; so, I made no further sexual advance, being as I was not receiving a clear invitation, even though I had (in my judgement) made my offer clear enough (without my having to state it in words). Soon I woke, perhaps from wondering what to do.

June 6^th-7^th (Fri-Satur), 2008 :- I dreamt of thinking about the possibility that evil spirits may dominate generally, that evasions may be required so that one[‘s activity] is not noticeable by (to) them. {I dreamt this apparently because I had been mentioning this to my mother that evening by telephone. I had mentioned the same by telephone to her numerous times before, without obtaining such a dream as a result; it may be my mentioning a few days before to someone else (Jason McBrayer’s wife?) that I considered dreams as sent by deities that may have helped produce that result; but I may have also have said the same as this to the same person various times before without obtaining any result as a dream. Perhaps my emphasizing (when speaking on the telephone to my mother that evening) my belief that it was necessary, in order for people to enstrengthen their belief, for people to hear others say aloud to them that they agreed that the material universe was infested with spirits who were interested in humans’ activities, in order for those people not to feel alone (lonely), especially in such cases (such as my own) where they did not have other humans closely around them most of the time.}

June 7^th (Satur), 2008 (during daytime) :- I dreamt that I had entered a rectangular grassy mall enclosed by a multi-storeyed building. I was aware that I might be pursued by cavalry into the mall, so, thinking of the possibility of guiding through that mall a woman who had earlier been accompanying me, I wondered whether it might be safer (instead of walking a paved pathway leading the length of the mall to the part of the hollow-rectangular building at the mall’s opposite end) I ought to have her walk with me along the paved walkway lying along the rectangular building’s hollow interior, I looked for any exit-ways through the enclosing hollow-rectangular building, but saw none. Then I woke. {Just before falling asleep that day, I had been reading a passage on the 4 styles of recitation of the mantra-chain, of which the 4^th hath rays proceeding from the mantra-chain. I had apparently thought (into being in the place where the dream was formulated) of some rays being vertical (like the hollow-rectangle aedifice), and of some rays being horizontal (like the paved way-ways). If so, were the consonants (and consonantal ligatures) supposed to be emitters of the vertical rays, and the vowels emitters of the horizontal rays?}

June 14^th-15^th (Satur-Sun), 2008 :- I dreamt that :- When a donation (or pay) in cash was being given to me, it was spilled onto the ground in the form of hundreds of dimes, which I was sweeping together with my hands so that they could be re-counted by the donor. Next, I was travelling on a speedboat along the surface of the sea, apparently to illustrate an episode wherein some man (supposedly Zen disciple) had accused the administration (of that Zen group) of promoting improper illusion (which was spelled ‘hama’); thus (apparently to indicate what it would be to diminish illusion) my looking through the front windshield (which was extended vertically in front, with the sides and top being open) of that speedboat gave an improved vision (better focus, less blurriness – thought of, ascribed, the improvement as being the result of a lens-type curvature of the glass, though such curvature was not noticeable) of the sea-waves. {I seem not remember any praevious dreams of noticing blurriness, let alone any improvement in vision by any lens. {Possibly such dream may have some connection with my father’s surveying (for petroleum-rigs) in the Persian Gulf, by boat (before the end of the Vietnam war).}

June 16^th (Mon), 2008 (during daytime) :- I dreamt that someone was facing aside to my right and saying something which I could almost (but not quite) hear well enough to understand. Several times I said that I could not understand, each time that I said this the person repeated, facing aside to my right, the same statement without my being able to understand; until I went to stand I front of that person when I again said that I could not understand. At this point, the person’s face (and head) looked transparent and whitish, and male; and this time I understood the first part of the statement :- "My e-mail address is in Schwerin ..." {Perhaps this person may have been intended as a spirit who praesideth over SWEARing?} { Afterwards, on looking up "Schwerin" on the internet, it was noticed that at the castle there was supposed to be a poltergeist Peterma:nnchen whose "face whose white".}

June 19^th-20^th (Thur-Fri). 2008 :- Dream of man (supposedly a sage, having praeternatural perceptions) examining me (by looking at me) to determine what spiritual qualities I had attained : he said that I had "cranes’ necks" (I wondered at this point how he was detecting this by looking at me). {"Cranes" I could then in the dream understand as Chinese emblems of spirituality; after I awoke later, I thought that the allusion may have been to "craning one’s neck" so as to look upward so as to view heavenly matters.} Thereupon, I started walking with him (supposedly as my discipleship to him), and as we were walking I was noticing various manufactured articles lying around on the ground. {Then I woke, and was thinking of maintaining a similar attitude to that of the discipleship, by noticing, while going about in a state of detached aloofness, things suspended (as if floating, mostly a few feet in distance below my vantage-point) about along the way in such a way as to consider them all moderately and briefly as I would pass them by. By thinking like this, I noticed that such an attitude of detached viewing was apparently helping to remember what had happened earlier in the same dream.}

June 26^th (Thur), 2008 [during day] :- dream of – A man (Jason McB.) was showing to me a tabular arrangement of mathematical formulae used for electronics, and having to do, I thought, with components during inductance. I said that I did not understand that, on account of my not having studied electronics.

later dream [during day] :- I was getting together food (vegetables) my myself to eat, when I seemed to remembered that one large container, which I noticed contained pieces of cooked turnip, and which was too large to fit into the refrigerator, may have been kept sitting unrefrigerated from a party praepared by other persons the day before. I looked to see if any spoiling of it had started; it was unspoiled, so I was thinking of transferring the contents of it into a smaller container to fit into the refrigerator. {Jason’s wife, at the protest-rally the day before, had been offering raw sprouted black-eyed peas to people. The idea of a party may have come from Jason-and-his-wife’s party months earlier. Perhaps the dream involved turnips on account of the name Turnipseed.}

on July 20^th (Sun) 2008 (during day) and halfway through July 21st –

July 21^st (Mon) 2008 :- Half-asleep condition much of the day – In about 1^st half of day, I kept seeing arrangements of uncompleted algebraic expressions (lacking in co-efficients), which I recognized by their incompleteness that I was in a dreamy state, so that I mentally dismissed them as they kept on arising at least dozens of times.

In about 2^nd half of day, I kept on seeing, instead, names (which I apparently though might be divine) in tabulated arrangements; but then whenever I considered the names, I did not recognize them at all, realized that I must be asleep, and dismissed the names repeatedly.

July 22^nd (Tue) 2008 (during day) – Dream :- Seeing tabulated (one column) remarks about philosophy of religion, I proceeded to add (as next column) my own remarks. [This sort of dream may have repeated itself a number of times; each time upon my recognizing that I was dreaming, I dismissed the writing; expecting that dismissal would delete it. One aspect that helped me at each time to recognize that it was merely dreamy was the lack of bibliographical references from the already-existent column of remarks.] Then, as I was about to upload this on the internet, I realized that I was dreaming, so that my upload would have no effect, as there is no real internet in the dream-world. However, at that point I saw that I had reached the same situation in my dream of what I thought was the day before [it might, however, have really been a little earlier on the same day]; and (possibly thinking in the back of my mind that the same situation day after day in the future,) if I did not call the dream-makers’ bluff by going ahead with the attempted upload, I so attempted and there was no result, but I awoke. {That day and especially the day before, I had been somewhat sick with soreness at the inner part of my right leg’s attachment to my body, hindering much walking.}

July 22^nd-23^rd (Tue-Wedne) 2008 – Dream :- While taking notes on a North American Indian contemporary belief-system, I noticed a mention of 70,000; and remembering the 70,000 mentioned in the Daoist writing, thought to myself that this North American Indian must have read this recent translation from Chinese, since traditional North American Indian languages did not have such high numbers anyway. {While awake, I had just taken a note of a 70,000-line mythic text, from the dissertation on "Daoism during the 6 Dynasties".}

July 24^th (Thur) 2008 (during day, in morning) – Dream :- Going along in the open, I noticed some small pieces of food (candies); looking to see anyone to whom they might belong, I noticed a number of children nearby. Next, I was hearing it being said that the Zen patriarch sometimes had to be absent from his residence, while I was taking this as a comment on the layout which I was seeing from above, of a walkway (I thought from the residence) stopping after going forward only a short distance, with it path from the stopping-place to the left also ending shortly (the areas forbidden to entry by the patriarch being, I thought, occupied by the children), so that the path to the right of the stopping-place would have to be taken (by the patriarch, so as to keep from possibly bothering the children). {I had praeviously (in the day before ?) taken notes from the dissertation on "Daoism during the 6 Dynasties", in which 2 infants were mentioned as "lords" (of body-regions). I may have combined that with the opinion that Ch>an (Zen) is derived from Daoism.}

Later in the same dream, I experienced climbing down a set of 2 metal crossbars, which I thought odd not to be properly braced against each other – these were supposedly owned by Christian evangelists (who, I thought, always did things slovenly). Another set reached downward into water, but just above the water-level I noticed in the rock a recess, which was entered by a man with his possessions (including a loose-leafed writing, which I was handing it to him). When I next looked above, it was an open space beyond a wall, so narrow as to have no room for the recess; there was a clear view downward showing that we were up some storeys from the ground; and there was a crosspiece, of metal, wide enough for a person to lie on, located at some distance, across between walls on each side of the space. Then I looked again at the recess, and it was still there, but there was no man in it, and its contents seemed antient, and I thought of it as labeled for Mt.at.ro^n. {After I awoke, I thought of the inconsistency of the points of view as repraesenting the difference between the 2 alternative spellings of the name, Mt.at.ro^n and Mit.at.ro^n.}

Somewhat earlier in the same dream, I was considering the meaning of a narrow passageway (so narrow that at a corner I had to duck my head below the region of clear view in order to pass by), which as been mentioned as Has- to mean ‘hand’. {After I had awoken at the end of that recess-dream, I thought that it might instead refer to ‘laughter’.}

July 31^st (Thur, during day) 2008 – Dream :- While in a medical facility, I was subjected to being scraped on the back of my lower leg, moving upward, with a multi-pronged instrument. I thought that was a vaccination.

Aug 1^st-2^nd (Fri-Satur) 2008 – Dream :- I was being driven by my brother Steven in an automobile along a road, with another automobile traveling alongside on our right side. After a while I heard singing.

Aug 2^nd-3^rd (Satur-Sun) 2008 – Dream :- I had been lying in the air, so inclined at an angle that my heels touched the ground. Next, I was hovering in the air, and I thought it opportune to announce to other persons standing on the ground around (whom I thought might be impressed enough by my miraculous hovering to heed what I would say as a possible way for them also to achieve the miraculous ability to hover in the air) a message, so I said : "Christ is the enemy; America is the enemy. Death to Christ; death to America. Victory to the glorious jihad!"

Aug. 9^th-10^th (Satur-Sun) 2008 – Dream :- I was levitating just slightly (about an inch) above the floor. Then while doing so, I began to hear music. (Then I awoke.) {Music has been quite unusual for me in dreams; I do not remember any earlier instance.}

Aug. 16^th-17^th (Satur-Sun) 2008 – Dream :- It was extremely dim (had just become) in the city, where I was walking along the sidewalk. I understood that the front door to the building which we were using was locked without anyone inside, and that I did not have the key to it. Then, though it was far too dim to seem them at all clearly, I thought that the people whose forms I could barely see (in the dimness) on the other side of the street might be Negroes, and that it might be dangerous to be out at night on the sidewalk within the view of Negroes, so I started instead down the side-street (where I looked and could see no human forms). I notice that I was walking toward apparently the side entrance to the same building which we were using, but realized that this entrance also would be locked. Then I was thinking of walking across town by side-streets to the safer neighborhood from which we had come – I had come with others, but they had left by other ways. (Then I awoke.) {The Peace Resource Centre had been offered use of buildings in Negro neighborhoods, but had declined them as they, buildings and neighborhoods, were thought unsafe.}

Aug 17^th-18^th (Sun-Mon) 2008 – Dream :- Having heard that there was a great natural hazard to navigation, I began seeing what I took to be the same place – across a stretch of sea (for as far as could be seen) a natural stone wall pierced by a large hole extending for a space along the sea-level, some 1000s of feet wide and some 100s of feet tall, with long spikes (of stone) extending down from above to nigh the sea-level, which I thought might pierce a carelessly-navigated (including night-voyaging) ship.

Another dream, later in same night :- In a passageway inside a building, I had a chair with me and their was a man in the passage who was apparently disagreeing with me, so that as he circled slowly around the chair, so did I, keeping the chair between us. After a few circlings, he was apparently satisfied at my non-aggressive manner (I also did not say anything to contradict him during those circlings), and so he went to enter his room (which was just a short distance down the hall), at which time I began walking slowing backwards away from where he was standing (in front of his room), I dragging the chair along with me, keeping it between him and me. (Then I awoke.) {At the Friends’ meeting during the day (Sunday), Cassandra had reminded me not to drag a chair, upon which I had noticed that I was putting the chair in the wrong color-direction, and so I carried it to its proper place. Cassandra and Jerry had arrived earlier at the meeting than did I with Sue; and when I arrived they had already started placing the chairs in the 4 directions, matching (for the first time on their own) the chairs with the Chinese directional colors (as I had usually been doing myself for over a year).}

late in Aug (between 14^th and 21^st) 2008 :- Dream :- A naked woman was allowing me to feel with my hands over most of her body, but when I tried to put my hand to her vulva, she pushed the hand away. {This had been the behavior of the woman Joanna Morgan over the years when I was visiting her at the state insane asylum : she would allow me to feel over most of her body under her clothes, but would pull my hand away when I would try to feel on her vulva under her panties.}

Aug 23-24^th (Satur-Sun) 2008 :- I entered a room in which were two fully-clothed women standing and one woman standing clad only in panties and brassiere. I started feeling with my hands on the exposed parts of that partially-clad woman’s body. Then another woman came, who was naked; so while she was standing there, I got onto my knees and started applying my lips to her vulva so as to suck at it. But then I glanced downward and noticed that her shank, as could be seen through a hole just below her knee, was hollow and empty. This surprised me, as that leg of hers was otherwise normal. (Then I awoke.) {After I awoke, I remembered a dream of mine decades earlier, where I was looking down through the neck-hole of a headless standing man, and saw that his body was hollow but filled by geared machinery to operate his body.}

Sept. 11^th-12^th (Thur-Fri) 2008 :- Dream :- I went up to a very tall woman (my mouth reached up only to the level of her teats) {I had just been looking the evening before at a collection of weblinks, mostly dead, of websites on erotic giantesses} who was standing clothed; I grasped her my her sides, and pursed my lips toward her. As I kept pursing my lips, she kept on repeating the words : "Pay me, and then you can kiss me." I wondered it I should ask her whether she meant that the payment would allow me to kiss her lips (which were up to high on her body for me to reach with mine without her bending over), or whether she meant that the payment would allow me to kiss on her teats (which were covered); I also wondered whether I should ask her whether she would accept as "pay" (to allow me to kiss her lips or teats) an offer by me to kiss on her vulva. {I had in the afternoon before read in the Free Times in its free-advertising "Personals" section, under "Females Seeking Males", an offer for "oral sex only".} But I did not say anything to her, being afraid that any such quaestions might frighten her away (or offend her), and I did not wish to say anything which might disrupt a possibly developing sexual relationship with her. [Then I woke.]

Sept. 27^th-28^th (Satur-Sun) 2008 – Dream :- Riding in open-topped autobus, I was spoken to by a man from outside it, I was afterwards wondering of his telephone #, when he called me (on my cell-telephone) to tell it to me, so that I was writing down its last 4 digits as 7784; then on my glancing briefly away, it changed itself to 3384, of which I erased the 33 re-wrote the 77 (I remarking of this change to fellow-passengers); then of this the latter 7 changed, while I glanced away, to 3 (so that again I remarked of this change to fellow-passengers). {I was the evening before thinking of telling that 7 * 3 = 21 was the source of the 21^st prime 73, to mr. Medlin whose telephone # contained 73-73, of which (as I had mentioned to him, whose wife is Chinese) is a favorite Daoist ritual #. The 84 is the # of maha-siddha-s.}

c. Oct. 3^rd-4^th (Fri-Satur) 2008 – Dream :- I heard mention of "a mighty loaden castle, a mighty loaden gate", which I thought was a quotation from a Shinto mythic epic. I was supposedly at the northern end of Honshu, and was wondering about Hokkaido and Sahalin; and I heard mention of the god Ninigi. I was removing from my body scamous scaling of white pieces, and was eating them, and saw piles of pieces (supposedly left by praevious passers-by) of the same on the ground which I was walking along. Then I saw a helical natural descent through pink rock, which I walked down, emerging in an open land below. Then, since I saw that the natural descent through pink rock extended deeper, I started down it, followed by numerous people; then I suddenly thought that if this descent had no place of emergence further below, we would be excessively crowded, and so started to shout that; then awoke. {Gerald Rudolph, who had been to Japan, was then gone on a walking tour in the Smoky Mountains; he liked Zen, in which enlightenment is supposedly sometimes obtained by a sudden shout. Before they departed for the trip, I had mentioned to his wife Cassandra Fralix several words beginning in /squ-/, to which she had added /squeamish/; this was apparently the source of the SQUamous skin in the dream.}

Oct. 6^th-7^th (Mon-Tue) 2008 – Dream: - I was in my apartment, hearing from the hall talk by purported daimones, who mentioned their (own) names. I opened my door to see them, but could not see nor hear any, and assumed that they may have gone into another apartment opening into the hall. When I went back into my apartment and closed the door, I put my finger on the electric light-switch and thought that I felt pressure from the other side of it to turn it off. Then I saw a list of the names of daimones written on the wall across from me, and pointed at several of the names, one at a time, asking them to appear. (But they did not appear.) Then I saw written across the lower part of the wall further names of daimones, with an annotation of direction for reading the names, noticing that it was in the reverse from the direction which I was, conventionally, using, and so I thought that because of this reverse direction, that they might not be able to be summoned.

Oct. 21^st (Tue) 2008 – Heard while I was awaking out of sleep : "Death thinks it’s getting younger and newer." [I heard this instead of my name being called.]

Oct. 23^rd (Thur) 2008, during daytime – Heard while I was awaking out of sleep : various statements, in the form of sentences whose phraseology was no metaphorical that I could not compraehend the meaning of even a single phrase of it – it all seemed political in intent (perhaps related to the Obama election campaign -- I think I remember his name being mentioned in the statements). [Likely, this is a result of my performing ritual (involving eating foods at the monuments appropriate to them) several times each day at the state capitol building – this is the first political praesidential campaign when I have been essaying to do this, and so spirits may be uttering conjurations in the passage between dreaming and waking states (they may have found it more convenient for me to start hearing this sort of speech just after my birthday, my 65^th). ( do not clearly recall having heard that much jargon before while awaking, though I may have heard a little of it for the day before.)}

Oct. 23^rd-24^th (Thur-Fri) 2008 – Dream :- When I looked at the latest political-poll returns on my computer-screen, I saw them all in the red, indicating (by the convention used by the realclearpolitics website) that the Democratic Party was losing in all of them. Then I awoke. {I had been wondering the day before whether to post a certain kind of election poster, and has thought not to.}

Oct. 24^th-25^th 2008 – Dream :- I could feel the palm of my hand being bitten on; when I looked, I saw an insect was biting it, but as I was moving my own mouth toward it to bite it back (to make it release its hold), it pulled itself inside by palm. (Later in the dream,) I was picked a leaf from a plant, but the tiny prickles (which I had not noticed; I had seen only the larger prickles around the outer part of the leaf) on the inner part of the leaf pricked my hand (which I felt, so that I dropped the leaf).

Oct. 25^th-26^th 2008 – Dream :- Looking at printed depiction of woman supposedly showing dance steps (for the naksatra-s?), but they were not very distinct, so I thought that a written description would be better.

Oct. 26^th-27^th (Sun-Mon) 2008 – Dream :- I was sucking the nose of a woman (her face was covered with geometrical symbols in a squared hatchwork; and her nose was peculiarly geometrically shaped). {I had 2 days earlier been looking at a website about the star-nosed mole, and had 1 day earlier though that its 22 tentacles might match the series of 22 in Codex Laud.}

Another dream, same night :- I was watching on some kind of public display-screen (movie?) about scandalous behaviour of women a scene of 2 women kissing each other’s mouths at some important public event – the lips both those 2 women were black. {Aztec prostitutes used to wear black lipstick.}

Nov 7^th-8^th (Fri-Satur) 2008 – Dream :- After thinking of region in room as cold and seeing ghost of woman vanish there, I looked again and saw a nude woman lying on the ground there, thought it could be harmful to me to go there as I supposed it was cold; so when she was standing beside me I thought that though she was in a warm area of the room I could touch her as she would be warm, but that I should leave the room with her; when I went to one door with intent to exit it, the door was locked, so I was intending to go into the next room to seek whether it had another door. But then I awoke. {I had a few days before read an Eskimo legend of a cold ghost-woman who had sexual intercourse with a live man.}

Nov. 12-13^th (Wedne-Thur) 2008 – Dream :- While traveling with other people, we came to a big black hound who would not allow us to pass further. I said that I had read in some mythology of a hound in the netherworld who would not allow travelers to pass by until it was tapped on the head with a book. We did this, and passed on. {I had read about, the day before, of an Eskimo shaman who was converted to Christianity when dying (or the like) by having Bibles piled around. Elsewhere I had read (years earlier) of Eskimo shamans’ having to pass by a watchhound in order to reach the abode of the sun-goddess.}

Nov 16^th-17^th (Sun-Mon) 2008 – Dream :- I turned over (onto its back) a large (about cubit-long) slug (shellless snail) on an elevated cubby-room; it could not re-turn itself (onto its right side), so was quivering in displeasure of lying upside-down. {I had a day or two praeviously been thinking about (what I had read decades earlier of) [the Maori goddess] Sina ‘grey hair’ (in the context of an account [Toba?] of the origin of greying of hair) with reference to the exchanging of faces by [Maori] Maui’s sea-slug wife with that (the face) of her husband, when I had just read about a faceless [Toba?] deity.} After a momentary distraction, I looked again into the cubby-room, and I saw (to my surprise) clothing lying in the room in place of the upside-down slug. {I had just (the day before) read [a Karanga legend] about clothing carried away (in lieu of the women washing it) by a divinely-sent whirlpool.} Then next (in the same dream) my left hand started acting (moving) on its own -- as though it were possessed by a deity, something quite surprising to me, inasmuch as I could not remember ever before having by body, in while or in part, becoming possessed by any deity while I was conscious of it [though there had been (which I did not think of during this dream) an occasion in Chicago (before I departed thence at the conclusion of the Vietnam war) when evidently my whole body became possessed by a deity -- when I was being threatened, out-of-doors, by a man who was an acquaintance (whom I had never met before) of, and brought by, that Mennonite woman whom I was sexually involved with there in Chicago] – so that I grasped (with my right hand) by disobedient left hand and twisted it backward so that it made (at its wrist) a cracking sound, which I thought cured it of being controlled by a probably hostile external possessing-deity. {I had, the day before, been reading a Karanga account of a shamaness who said that she dreamed of becoming possessed by a deity. I had also read (if I remember correctly) recently a description [also Karanga?] of the entry-area (on one’s body) for a possessing-deity being one’s hand.}

c. Nov 28^th-29^th (Fri-Satur) 2008 – Dream :- I was descending a staircase in the dark, but when I reached the bottom could not find any place for turning on any light, and therefore returned up the stairs. (Then I awoke.)

Dec 11^th-12^th (Thur-Fri) 2008 – Dream :- Traveling alone through the countryside, regarding myself as having been chosen as repraesenting the community from India, I saw my pathway as having luminous spots along it; and at the same time was experiencing a joy which I thought of as "bliss", which I considered as deriving from my philosophical understanding of the religion of India. (Thereupon I awoke.)

Dec 21^st-22^nd (Sun-Mon) 2008 – Dreams :- I was invited (by an ordinarily-clad woman) to look a group of scantily-clad (in underwear) women, who were together behind a low room-separator. So, though I had been about to walk away without having looked at them, I stayed a while in order to view them.

[Another dream :] There was operating a computer-based movie-program for generating similarities in pornography-style relations; the output (printed by computer at the bottom of submitted lists of ideas) was lists of titles to what I supposed to be pornographic-movie episodes (though the titles themselves were not suggestive of this).

[Yet another dream :] I was looking at a map of China covered with pieces of tuna-fish; afterwards, a man came to me, using one of his legs to elevate one of my legs so as to stop me from walking about so that he could quaestion me in a way leading me to remembering and mentioning to him that map. {After I had awoken, I thought out that the "tuna" might repraesent the Maya word /tun/ ‘stone’ in allusion to the carven-into-rock map of Africa-to-UnitedStates at the slavery-monument (on the Richardson Plaza = State Capitol grounds) : this is one of the sites where I eat meals. Perhaps the reason for China in place of Africa may be the Maumau (which I had been wondering, while awake, whether to read a book about, since the Praesident-elect of the UnitedStates visited his pro-Maumau relatives there in Kenya) being evidently referred to in the name of demi-god /MAUi/, whose sister was impraegnated by an eel (/TUNA/ in Maori).}
