Had some dreams last night. They didn't necessarily occur in this order, but there seems to be a polarity to them. In one dream I remember getting into this car with a girl who I used to have a crush on. When I met her in real life, she seemed interested in me, but I came to realize that her interest was based solely on her wanting me to be around for a friend of hers, who had feelings for me. Anyway, in the dream we are in the car, and I remember thinking it was strange that I would put myself in this situation. There was another guy in the car, some kind of sporty representation of my opposition that I can't see the merit of due to my excessive vanity. We drove around for some time, and I started to black out. We were driving into some really deep darkness. I tried to remain aware, to remain focused, but the darkness overpowered me.

The other dream was quite different. I began as a lion, but not necessarily a noble lion, not in the way we think of heroic animated lions. I was sly, cunning, a little bit devious and wicked. I was also confident and powerful, and I felt as if I was competing against some other great power, one that I felt I had the ability to defeat. I guess all proud beings feel that way about their enemies, but I was also fully aware that I could lose the struggle. But at some point in this dream I changed from a lion into a sort of griffin, and I began to fly. I flew up and snatched something small and shiny out of a nest; this wasn't my nest or anything. I remember having the notion that I was stealing some object of power that played a vital role in attaining my victory. After that part came the most memorable portion of my dream. I have always been prone to flying in my dreams. Over the years I seem to have gotten better and better at it. But in this dream, as this griffin or whatever, I flew more accurately, more powerfully, with more ease than I have ever flown before. Not just that, but by simply concentrating I could bring the entire world around me into clearer focus. I could change the very fabric of the dream world, which is normally blurry and obscure at its best, and make it as clear as waking reality, maybe even clearer. It was an amazing experience. I hope more like it follow.

I have yet to fully understand what it all means just yet. I feel that there is something very important about dreaming though. The energy of your body, your life force, creates those things that you see while you sleep, since there are no conscious forces(waking experiences) acting on your mind. Dreams are the experience, the communication of your life to your mind. There has to be something deeply powerful about that. When you dream you are touching a timeless dimension.
