[size="3"]Hi all, what I remember from a particularly interesting dream I had on Wednesday night / Thursday morning... [/size][size="3"]Sharing for your interest / hoping I am not boring anyone![/size] [size="3"][size="3"][size="3"][size="3"][size="3"] [/size][/size][/size][/size][/size] [size="3"]Simon[/size] [size="3"][size="3"][size="3"][size="3"][size="3"] [/size][/size][/size][/size][/size] [size="3"]------------------------------------------------[/size]
[size="3"]I was walking down a corridor. On the right at the end was a warning / advisory / welcome notice of some sort with a photograph of a person's face. I feel sure that this was to welcome people to someone's domain / place of work / etc., (I don't know their name) and warn / advise that their face is a little 'unusual'.
I only briefly looked at this notice as I walked past, opening and going past the door. Immediately on the other side of the doorway this corridor ended with there being another corridor travelling left / right across (as in a T junction). I turned right and walked a short distance before entering a room on the left.
This room had a few people in it, including some adults sitting on chairs to my left, a receptionists' table on the right and in the centre of the room were several benches with children laying down I think they were on their stomachs, not backs). I do not recall what the adults were wearing - they may have been naked, or with blankets over them, I think the latter. The children were naked but were covered in a what I seemed to be green bubbles / foam - I suppose it was something like bubble bath, except that they were not in a bath. However their heads were open / uncovered. They seemed happy, but docile.
The person whose face was on the door greeted me. I do not remember exactly what was said to me but this person spoke in a guttural voice which made me uncertain of their gender. I suspected that he/her was not human - hence the photo by the entrance door - although in my mind I theorised that most people would think the slightly unusual looking face was just because he/her had been an unfortunate victim of a fire which had left him/her needing a facial skin graft.
My initial thoughts were of this being some sort of new age centre with holistic treatments, and that this room did a variant of full body wraps - a holistic treatment I had several times about 20 years ago..[/size] [size="3"][size="3"][size="3"][size="3"][size="3"] [/size][/size][/size][/size][/size] [size="3"]I asked how much a session would be, and was told that the information was on the (far) wall - which was not really far away as the room was not very large. However, I could not read the writing on the wall (note my use of a phrase which also has an ominous meaning)! - this was either because the children on the benches were blocking my view or because there were people (who I had not seen before) in the way.
The person who had greeted me suggested that I could go to another room and get changed (I think he/she had even been 'expecting' me - not sure). This would be for normal privacy / modesty purposes. I was wearing outdoor clothes, including a warm jacket and was carrying an attaché case.
I knew that I could not afford any 'treatments' at the time, and did not want to put the cost on a plastic card, and I think I said this.
[[At this stage on the dream I seemed to have half woken up, and very briefly looked at the time on my clock radio, yet the dream continued.. . or at least I found myself with enough waking awareness to understand what was going on and be able to influence the next stages / what happened next - which possibly is just as well (However, despite seemingly having enough conscious awareness to know and decide what I should do / wanted to do - I did not have enough to realise that I was dreaming..)]]
So, I did not want a treatment 'there and then' and in my mind it dawned upon me that this place could be somewhere where people went in but did not go out - or at least if they did it was in a different / modified form. It could even be that the 'children' were former adults, which the 'treatment' (something in the foam?) had changed! This would help explain why the financial 'cost' of treatment had seemed to not matter one iota.
To let the person working there keep up the pretense of welcoming me / to stop him/her thinking that I wanted 'out' I explained that I was very keen on having the treatment, but just 'not yet'. I may have said more things, but am not sure. I left the room and walked back towards the entrance door. I mused to myself that it was just as well I had remembered exactly where the door was, as there were several doors along the left side of the corridor, and had I not known better I could have seen any one of them as being the doorway I wanted. The thought came to me that the door I had entered through might not have a handle on this side! - or it (or the other doors) might be some sort of dimensional doorways which would lead to somewhere else, or even deep space (things I have seen in sci-fi - yet I distinctly remember being able to ponder all this). Anyway, at that moment some more people arrived, and as they entered I was able to leave, without having to worry about doors, door handles, etc.
On my way out I noted again the 'warning / advisory / welcome notice', and felt sure that I was away, safe and sound (unless someone comes after me in other ways - which makes me wonder about the noise of something in this room moving / falling on the far wall behind me as I type this dream into the office computer... I am alone in here!)

Notes...
[/size][size="3"]1) [/size][size="3"]Where I say that "I could not read the writing on the wall" and then point out my use of a phrase which also has an ominous meaning, I actually realised this in 'realtime'... despite the fact that I was dreaming at the time.
[/size][size="3"]2) [/size][size="3"]most nights when I go to bed - I say the mantra below - I actually have it printed out on a sheet of paper so that I can read it just before turning the light out (its in large text so that I do not need my reading glasses).
When I am dreaming I want to do so with full lucid awareness
I only read this most nights, because sometimes I am so tired that I forget about it!![[Image: doh1.gif]](http://209.85.12.236/4826/126/emo/doh1.gif)

BUT... what is interesting is that the first thing on my mind in the mornings after I forget is that I had forgotten! (as if my subconscious is reminding me that I had forgotten this the night before!) Quite amazing...[/size]
