Wax Cloud Wallet: s.4bi.wam Date: October1994 Dream: I had a dream where a jackal from the Aladdin cartoon series had somehow come into our world and had chased me into my room and was trying to get me as I hid in my bed. Afterthoughts: This must have really scared me as a child because it was a recurring dream for awhile. As I got older I stopped having the dream and a cartoon jackal obviously didn't scare me anymore, but for some reason the memory of this recurring dream has stuck with me.

Date: Sometime in the late 1990s Dream: I got sucked into the video game Commander Keen in Keen Dreams and was attacked by the slugs from one of the earlier levels in the game. Afterthoughts: It's kind of ironic that I visited a dreamworld from a videogame in my dreams. Also I think I was scared of/dreamed about these slugs because they were a part in the game that I could not get past at my young age and it was a challenge/fear my subconscious wanted me to face?

Date: Sometime in the mid 2010s Dream: So this one is actually kind of a day-dream. I was walking in a park and I was the only one there. As I was walking I was admiring the trees and the sky and I started day dreaming about the a future where somehow all mankind was extinct and I dreamed of the trees still being there, yet even older and taller than they were at the time. I then dreamed about the trees reminiscing about how things were in the past (our present) and discussing among themselves what was better and worse in the present (our future) vs the past (our present). Afterthoughts: I think this day-dream was a reflection on how humans are somewhat insignificant in comparison to mother nature/the universe.

Date: Fall 2018 Dream: While walking along a ridge in the woods I had a day-dream imagining what it would be like to be a native American walking along the same ridge hundreds of years ago while hunting deer. I imagined holding the bow in my hands and the moccasins on my feet as I tried to follow the deer as quietly as possible until I was able to get in range and take the perfect shot. I imagined what it must have felt like to carry the deer back to the village and then skin and prepare it to cook and share with the rest of the tribe. Afterthoughts: I think this day-dream was a longing to connect with those who have come before us and had to live in times that were radically different from ours. When survival was a lot more visceral and immediate than today where we have relative easy access to food and shelter. It was a longing to get back to our roots so to say and escape the hustle and bustle of modern life.

Date: Winter of 2016 into 2017 Dream: The dream started with me becoming aware of myself as a being without a physical form floating several hundreds of feet above the Earth. There were thousands and thousands of pine trees below me as far as the eye could see with a light dusting of snow over them with thick snow cover on the ground. I realized I must be above the Taiga somewhere. I started flying above the trees wandering aimlessly for an undiscernibly long amount of time in my dream until I ended up waking up. I did not come upon any other beings besides the trees and vegetation, however. Afterthoughts: The really strange thing about this dream is how real it felt. It felt like this was a memory of mine. I thought about theories of star people or races of beings from far away galaxies that traveled amongst the stars to far away planets and wondered if perhaps there was some merit to those theories. If those theories are correct, this could be a memory of a previous life of mine as one of those traveling star people coming to a world that might have been or might not have been earth at a time before hominid-like beings existed on it and the majority of life on the planet was plant life.

Date: Recurring throughout mid-late 2020 Dream: I had a recurring series of dreams in which my father had passed away and I was trying to navigate life without him in it anymore. Afterthoughts: I think these re-occurring dreams were triggered by the fact that my father had to move out of state due to the pandemic and that I was no longer able to visit him whenever I wanted to. These dreams could be the subconscious manifesting a deep longing to have a better relationship with my father and form a deeper bond with him before he is no longer around.

Date: Early to mid 2010s Dream: Several dreams where I dreamed of being in a post apocalyptic setting, all alone, trying to survive. Having to gather supplies and food. Afterthoughts: I think these dreams may have been prompted by the many post apocalyptic media that was coming out at the time such as I Am Legend, The Walking Dead, The Last of Us, etc. I think that they were a subconscious yearning to be in that sort of situation where your actions every day had profound impacts and you weren't wasting your life away doing menial tasks at a boring job.

Date: Early 2000s Dream: Several dreams of an imaginary life that I could have with my then online-girlfriend from Australia. I dreamed of what it would be like to move down there and live with her and what Australia would be like compared to the United States. Afterthoughts: During this time in my life was when I first started to realize that I did not particularly like the circumstances of my life. My parents were going through separation and I just wanted to get away from everything and start over somewhere else. I think these dreams were my subconscious granting me a form of escape.

Date: Early to mid 2000s Dream: I had several dreams of being in futuristic settings in space and on faraway alien planets. They included being on spaceships traveling through space, being in futuristic mega cities, using futuristic technology such as teleportation devices and faster than light travel. These also included some of my first 'adult' dreams. Afterthoughts: All of these dreams were influenced by all of the science fiction novels I was reading around the time.

Date: Mid 2000s Dream: I dreamed I was back in Arthurian times in the middle ages. I had to learn Latin, and archery and falconry. Afterthoughts: This dream was definitely influence by me reading The Once and Future King

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Date: Sometime in the late 1990s Dream: I had a dream that I was living in the wilderness and had raised a baby falcon that ended up helping me to hunt for rabbits to help me survive. Afterthoughts: This dream was 100% my mind placing me in the shoes of the main character from the book I had just read in school called My Side of The Mountain.

Date: Sometime in the late 1990s Dream: I had a dream of going on a hunting trip with my cousins and owning a dog that I took with us on the hunt. Afterthoughts: This dream was influenced by the fact that my cousins went hunting with their dad regularly and that I had just read Where The Red Fern Grows in school.
