[dream]

I have had a dream journal for several years. I've had dreams that come true for about 30 years now. Writing that sentence has shown me how quick life is. I just got a new journal. It was bought for me so I was very encouraged as the old ones are filled. My first experience as being a "dreamer" came through a dream of the boy in the plastic bubble. Are you old enough to remember him? He had an illness where he did not have an immune system. A simple cold would kill him. So he grew up in a huge plastic enclosure made like a house. As a young girl I saw the story about him and felt so sad for him. Years later, I had a dream and became him (that happens sometimes, I become the person). He didn't want to live the way he was living anymore and wanted to be like other children. He left the enclosure to ride a bike, like normal children. During the night he (I) died and felt a knife pierce my navel (which happens only when I die in a violent death in a dream. I learned this several dreams later). He (I) died happy that he was free to "live" and did not regret his decision. I woke up in a cold sweat still thinking I was him. I looked at the clock and it said something like 4:35am.

The next morning I had Science as my first period. I could not shake off the dream. I sat in my seat and the teacher sat on his desk. Without warning, he said, "students today the boy in the plastic bubble has died." I became frozen but blurted out, without control, "yes at 4:35 this morning. Then he was frozen and said that is correct. How did you know?" I became extremely nauseous and asked to be confused to go to the bathroom.

His life and death were the first of many to come. Funny I do not know his real name but in a way he has inspired me as strange as that seems. I have many more fascinating accounts but this was a lot to write for now. Now about the crystals, I am so not interested in holding a crystal before I go to sleep. That is totally uncomfortable for me. But I appreciate the suggestion. What are the benefits anyway.
