Hello all,
I was abruptly awakened during a fantastic dream this morning. The beauty about such abrupt disruptions of sleep is the fleeting ability to recall details from experiences on the other side. I had a couple of minutes extra to read over what I posted and decided to quickly make a thread in case anyone else has a dream they wish to capture and share.

Toke it easy.(from a previous chat) - I seem to have a recurrent theme in my dreams recently: it is always some pain or misery (physical, mental, or even extra-existential in variety). Sometimes its simple like running after a lost loved one (or one you fear to lose), while finding helpful things along the way. Sometimes it is more abstract, like the one about finding a 'PD shell' on the ground while experiencing increasing pain/misery, accidentally breaking it (releasing relief), which quickly progressed in video-game-stage-by-stage fashion to me having a machine-gun and boxes of ammo (PD shells)--even got me a cool green Rambo bandanna (well, it turned out to be more like a Jimi Hendrix bandanna, and Boy! that woke me up!) Anyhow, that brings me to the dream last night...Prog the Frog? I figure, since I seem to be rambling to myself for now (until one of the General Area Spies checks in), I may as well not toke up the extra space and hit "enter", Right?...No complaints?...Good!. So (I'll hopefully have enough time to tell this one before it becomes breaky-fast time (def favorite meal of the day!).
OK it all began like evolution (maybe you are familiar with Darwin's theory?). Well, basically I started like a tadpole having what felt like eons of adventures, too fleeting and intense too remember, yet alone to describe. The best I can say is that it seemed like the most calm-and-peaceful-yet-exciting, simple existence imaginable (I had hunger and pain on some level but didn't even seem to realize that I was even searching for food/relief--or anything for that matter). Nonetheless, I believe (for some reason) that I was somehow getting and digesting something that provided relief from this hunger/pain. As the eons piled upon eons, this simplicity gave way to a beautiful complexity. The purpose of once-meaningless (and possibly purposeless) tasks began to have meaning and premeditation. I made it out of the water to a land of critters, fellow amphibians and some large (seemingly somewhat omniscient) evil Force?...Being?...System?..Creature?...that seemed to relentlessly seek to prevent all of the smaller creatures from accessing the relief they so desperately sought. It was an intense experience (hopping--or swimming in the muck--around the lilly-pads, dodging the large and scary entities/creatures(?)--may have not been developed enough to be sure which they were--snagging bits of nourishment/relief seemingly out of mid air (seemingly instinctually). Before the intense pace of jumping around from lily-pad to lily-pad and ducking in the shadows to avoid the evil forces(?) had awakened myself--and the rest of the low-level creatures--from our slumber (since I believe the dreamer creates and destroys whatever he/she creates when he/she first dreams and then awakes). Nonetheless, along the way (despite my inability to describe, let alone imagine, such an existence in my current/awake state of consciousness) I feel I somehow (on a more primitive level randomly AND consequentially) I met many creatures (I guess?) that helped me with the expectation of nothing in return but appreciation AND who I helped with the same in mind. I almost (even though I know it was all 'just a dream') feel badly that I can not really thank them.
