12092014 tactile-informative (physiology)
this dream started in a spacious underground station
was asking an african man for instructions to get somewhere
he told me the exit i wanted
got to the start of the exit and was taken aback by how steep
and long the incline to the street was
there was the strong sensation of gripping the hand-rail as i
got toward the top of the steep and i only just managed to pull
myself up the last half metre
a woman with a young baby in a pram was standing at the
top of the exit anxious to get into the underground but she
could see it would be unsafe to try and get the pram down
i told her she shouldn't even try it
the dream ended
~~~
the sensation of gripping mentioned was so strong it was on
the verge of waking me up
this is the second night running the dream has had an incline
in it
analysis/interpretation: the sensation of grip was linked to
weight training earlier on in the day (had to grip a
dumbbell more firmly than usual to do a particular movement)
pushed myself too hard and stretched a chest muscle or
ligament or fibres
breathing was uncomfortable for the rest of the day
the grip aspect of the dream enabled me to identify the reason
for it
the steep incline...
the underground...
the african man...
the woman and baby...
NOTE
am keeping the time spent on dreams and dream theory to
2 hours an entry (times up for today)
