Wow, two journals in under 24 hours... :P
Anyway, seems like i've been having a lot of dreams lately, and i'm curious about something. When i dream i dream in all 5 senses, sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. I also dream in color. Now as I understand it, you usually don't dream with all senses active? Usually one or more of the senses aren't contained within the dream. Sight and sound are pretty much standard i believe, but the other three senses? I know there's stuff called lucid dreaming where you can actually control the dreams and so on, but that doesn't really feel like what i've been experiencing. I mean at some point i know i'm dreaming, but it doesn't seem to matter much...
Most of the dreams seem to be very realistic actually, though some aspects are a bit fantastical. Sometimes i wonder if prehaps dreams are actually other realities we see when we sleep. Connecting with other versions of ourselves mabey? Just thought i'd type some of this stuff down as it's been on my mind lately...
A good example would be where i dreamed i was some sort of Indiana Jones type character, exploring an ancient ruin, and had to navigate a maze and everything. Then solve a puzzle that had me running from one part of a temple to another aligning light focusing devices towards the center. Trying to get everything done before some other group got in and stopped me. I think i sucseeded in aligining the four devices with the center object, but unfortunatly i believe that's about the point i woke up :P I do remember struggling with some of those that had been trying to get in and stop me...The whole thing seemed so real though...

Sounds like some nice adventure dreaming Gyphy :) I like the "epic" dreams that seem to be a whole story instead of random elements sloshed together to make a weird mixed up dream sequence
