The Dream Thread

[Brittany]

Had a lot of different dreams last night. I remember in one I was traveling in the arctic with a group of people, looking for some sort of artifacts. I can't recall if we ever found them, but at some point we stopped to eat and I was wolfing down food, devouring a whole pizza by myself. I was marveling at how hungry I was, as usually I get full after eating a few bites. I was enjoying the food tremendously, but slightly worried about the effect it would have on my health to eat so much, but I was just so hungry. There was plenty of food and I simply ate until I was full and felt very satisfied.

There were some other parts I can't recall, but the dream that had the most impact on me was what I can only describe as the complete merging with a parallel self. I became this self entirely, and recognized no difference between our consciousnesses. It could be likened to stepping into a different set of clothes. The most unusual thing was that for about five minutes after I woke up, I was still this other version of myself. It seemed there was a certain dark goddess I ascribed to, and when I woke up it was like consciously stepping through dimensions. I stood up in bed and did some series of movements, and spoke, though I'm not sure I said it out loud, something about this goddess. I then crouched down on the bed and sort of alternated between mindsets for several moments. I wouldn't say the two minds were vying for dominance...it was more like tuning a radio to the correct frequency. I finally returned fully to my own default consciousness and found myself still crouched on the other end of the bed. I then got up to use the bathroom. It was so incredibly surreal it's hard to believe this even happened.
