just had a delightful dream.
I was somehow travelling (by train) I think, as there was some preamble scenes to the dream which I can't quite recall/make out, but I can remember there being some sort of prelude to the part that I could remember.
anyway, I was travelling, and somehow I ended up at a location, which was a large studio apartment.
it had the unmistakable air of familiarity, I knew I had lived there before.
it was about this point that I became semi-lucid, and was able to cogitate and start thinking and processing.
I tried remembering the places that I had lived in my current life, and the different suburbs, and I couldn't fit it in. I came to the conclusion in the dream that I must have forgotten it, and that eventually it would come back to me (using that oh-so-excellent dream logic).
The apartment was empty, and between renters. I don't know how I ended up there, but I remember thinking that the landlord would probably be around soon to show the place to new tenants, and that I should probably leave soon as I shouldn't be there.
The place was semi furnished with hardwood floors, and there was a large cupboard at one end of the room, a small dresser table with a vase of flowers on it. The most beautiful looking sunlight streamed in from a round window at that end of the room.
At the other end of the room, I remember where my bed was, and that's where I used to sleep. I just knew it instinctively, the air of recognition was so strong.
I had my backpack with me, and took out my Nexus 5 phone (yes, my real world phone lol). I tried taking photos of the place because I wanted to remember this, but the images were either too zoomed in or too zoomed out, I couldn't quite figure out why I couldn't get the right image to save.
in the end, I had to leave by the door, because I was certain the landlord was going to come back soon, and that I didn't belong there anymore. (it was not where I lived anymore). Before I did, I had one final look out a second window, and could see the rooftops below, and I absolutely had that familiar feeling again (it was all throughout the dream) that I looked out from that perspective all the time once. And then I left, not sad or longing in any way, but so overjoyed and thrilled for the experience.
The Over-riding Emotion: Familiarity. That I had been there before. That I had lived there before.
The Analysis: the semi-lucidity thing leads me to believe that this was a bit of the cracking of the Veil, and the conscious mind getting a peak at the fuller version of myself. The apartment is possibly representative (in symbolic form) of a former higher density in which I had passed through, but that is not my current home.
I wanted to bring back some of the concrete details with me (by using the Nexus 5 and taking 'concrete' detail), but the conscious mind (the 3d mind) was distorting what was being experienced - either zooming in too much (over focus) or zooming out too much (not enough detail).
The Takeaway: just a delightful sense of 'fullness'; or having a greater experience of the self.
And the beautiful hardwood floors. What a delight!!
