Dream of the Week: She Knows & She’s Real

It was a big dreaming week for me, perhaps one of the highest volume of dreams in a single week I have ever had! (Note to self, figure out a way to automate this metric in my dream data spreadsheet). I like to make sure that I am on top of writing them down the same day, but sometimes it carries over to the next day or two. With so many dreams this week, I am just a wee bit behind, so I thought I’d dig into the archives and pull out a memorable from the past.

Here we go!

She Knows & She’s Real

I’m at an afternoon cocktail party in a small, charming venue where busy guests are socializing happily and drinking their fancy drinks. I wander aimlessly, looking for something to do, bored by the banality of it all. It has all the markings of a wedding where I only know the bride. I decide to get a cocktail and approach the bar. On the way, something sparks my awareness, and I become lucid. ⚡️

I notice a little girl, about 8 years old, standing by her parents and looking up at me curiously. She smiles.

“Hello,” she says.

“Hi!” I say back, charmed by her cute friendliness, interested in where this conversation might lead.

Her grin grows wider. “I know this is a dream.” 

Holy shit, I think. Intrigued, I ask her what she means. 

“I know that you are dreaming.” 

I respond, “So you know that you’re not real?” 

“Oh no, I am very real. I am real in real life, just not in here.”

😱

I wake up.

Note: I’m always so amazed when “lucid” dream figures say things like this to me! I always wake up with a sense of astonishment.
