So far away, My mind flies to the moon.
Far, far away, I can see what happens soon.
And what's most important.

I've always studies dreams, I used to lucid dream, and I can still sometimes but I just don't honestly see it as something worth intentionally pursuing. If I become aware in a dream I'll play along, but I'd rather observe my subconscious than control it.
A lot of times I dream and it's so real to normal life that sometimes I can't tell if something is a memory, or just a memory of a dream. I've had a few dreams that were VERY cinematic, even to the point of different "camera" angles. I really only have one re-occurring dream, which given my current tooth issue I'm surprised I haven't had for while, but I usually have it several times a year.
It's one where my teeth start cracking, falling out, become very large, jagged, and painful. Sometimes I'll grow multiple rows of teeth that bleed and fall out. Eventually I'll start spitting blood and handfuls of teeth. I usually cry in horror.
Besides that the only other common theme that I experience is major injuries in solitude. Sometimes I'm in the woods in winter, and I "wake up" alone with either a head injury (usually my eye is either gone or just bloody) or my ribs are broken, with a bloody hole. The pain isn't immense, typically I'll have no problem traveling and so long as I hold onto the wound I can manage to wander around looking for someone. But I'm always alone, and it's usually all grey, whether it's in the forest, a highway, or an abandoned city.
This is really all just my personal dream background.
The point of the journal was to hi-light these few themes that have sorta stuck with me. I typically don't remember dreams after a day or two, and a lot of times, frankly, they aren't too eventful.
One night I had a dream I was walking to a community center through a field to some sort of party. I found a dead creature, it was something like a small monkey or cat, but it had hawk-like claws and wings. I went to go collect some feathers and it "became alive". Now when I say dead, I mean decomposing, I don't remember much more than that.
Another dream my little chihuahua dog had a single puppy out of nowhere. She's too small to have puppies so I don't know where this dream came from, but that's how dreams are. Well, she had a puppy that was the size of a large mouse. But she rejected it and I remember her grabbing it by the scruff and shaking it around trying to kill it. I had to pry her mouth open to get the little dog out.
The next two really... I just remember very small fragments of, but something makes them stick in my mind.
One I was looking through my tool cabinet for some pliers and I just remember pulling out a large brown (vulture) feather that was split.
The other I was sitting down making some sort of wall hang. I don't remember what it was or what it even looked like. I just know it was large and I was working on it for a long while in my dream, it was a third-person dream, and I remember watching my craft for a long time.
What are some of you're dream experiences? What do you think of mine?

I like the idea that nothing punishes you for your actions, just that the environment tests your morals as well as the skill to survive. I do believe in karma... but more passively. I don't necessarily thing there is a force tallying our deeds and eventually rewarding us for out choices... Rather that "good" choices can effect others and in turn reward that person or situation. Something like taking fate into our own hands.
