DREAM ONE I was at someone's house somewhere, somewhen, this wasn't my life, and we are having a good time. Suddenly I feel something crawling over my right shoulder and out of the corner of my right eye I see its legs, it looked like a spider about the size of a crab. I looked back at my friend who saw it too, and I said 'These things don't bite do they?' I then turned around so I could see my back in a mirror, and the spider turned out to be a huge beetle with the oversized pincers up front, and there were hundreds of them of all sizes crawling out from under my skin on my back and making their way towards my legs and arms. Pretty soon I am covered with them. Suddenly a minor flinch or shudder goes through my body, and in reaction ALL of the beetles bite down hard on my body all over. Total crushing force everywhere, particularly on my hands and legs. It was like a massive convulsion of pain. This lasted about 2 seconds until I consciously released the flinch, and the beetles let go and went their merry way. These beetles were big from 1 to 4 inches, and were not poisonous, like the spiders usually are or the bees, worms and snakes from other dreams. As for the flinch it was very tempting to say they bit me first and I flinched second, there was only a 1/4 second between the two events, but I could see clearly it was the other way around, I flinched first and they bit second. Problem was I also saw the flinch was involuntary, usually I can control the flinch when the bees are walking around in my ears, but not this time. DREAM TWO I am driving down a highway and I notice volcanic fumaroles starting to blow steam along the sides of the road. As I go along these are getting greater in number and more insistent. I finally decide to confront the volcano and take a right hand turn up a steep hill. We drive up that road for a long time, sparks and foul smelling gas blowing up all around the car and black char starting to form on trees and vegetation. Finally I get to the top, the ground is rumbling and jets are shooting up everywhere. I walk to the very brim of the volcano and stand on small ledge on the other side facing the caldera about 2 miles down. The caldera is filled with boiling water, with ungodly things swimming around in it. I thought, you know screw this, I should just jump in, but I can't stand water I can't see into, flinch is too strong, I know I would get eaten. Fish with 1000 teeth are worse than beetles. So I am standing there on this little tiny ledge inside the lip of the volcano, about 9 feet down from the rim, and the ground starts to shake and I have NOTHING to hold onto. The ledge is no bigger than my two feet, all I can do is hold my balance and stand back to the wall, hoping the volcano doesn't shake me free. Then the wall and the rock around me starts to grow warm to the touch and pretty soon I can barely lean back against it, let me tell you, if you have ever stood on the edge of a building and been afraid of just falling over for no reason, this was it. Then a loud voice came out of nowhere and said "It's time to drop the beings", and I thought to myself, OH God here we go this is OT III! So I am waiting for them to come out of the sky and dump the beings, looking forward to the H bomb explosion, anything but the creepy crawly things, but instead this huge sliding door, it must have been 3 miles long, opens at the base of the caldera, on the opposite side from me, just above the level of the water and more ungodly creepy crawly things are dumped into the steaming water. I waited and waited, but no beings and no H bomb. Disappointed I decided I had had enough, and I turned around and started to make my way back up to the rim of the volcano to the other side. Although the walls were hot, I knew this was a dream, and I could stick my hands into the solid rock like it was soft clay, merely by not flinching about its hardness. I had learned that trick ages ago. I also commanded the rim to come down a bit to make it more accessible to me, another trick mastered in my long ago. When I was out of danger I walked down a little path to a house where others were waiting, living out their last minutes before the volcano exploded and I sat down there with them. It never exploded though and I woke up drenched in giddiness from the height and fear of falling. DREAM THREE I am at some kind of summer camp for grown people, and I notice I have the ability to move things with my mind. Usually in these dreams I just get the idea 'Everyone will now take off their shirts', but this was an all guys camp, so I didn't bother. I also know I am not supposed to demonstrate these powers, but I also knew this was a dream so what the hell. So I start pushing things around, there is a plane in the sky that is flying along, and I wave at it and it starts to go out of control coming right for us. My usual joy is to have the plane crash right into me, but since my revelation that other's might be conscious in my dreams too, I tend to try and land them properly which I did this time to everyone's amazement. Now normally in dreams I can't impress anyone with anything, they are all dead as, well Jommy Cross, but this time, EVERYONE took notice. Very serious notice. Pretty soon there were black helicopters coming out of the sky to get me, and as one got close I put out my hand causing it to flip and crash and explode. As this point I started to understand my life was over, I could take out one helicopter but not ten or a hundred, and people would be hounding me and my friends for the rest of my days. I spent some time trying to figure out how to make it all seem like a joke so people would forget it, but I realized the jig was up. I had done it, and they had seen it, and never was it to be forgotten as some stupid pretense. As people were crowding in around me, one person was telling me how foolish I had been to show off my powers, and he asked me what I was going to do about it? As thoughts were racing around in my head, I woke up. By the way over the course of days that these dreams happened they were interspersed with wonderful dreams about beauty and warm friendship and the love and joy of holding a child, and way too much sex with way to young girls. Zero flinch and zero need to flinch. Anyhow no need to go into those dreams in detail, wouldn't want to give the thought police a hard on. DREAM FOUR Last night, this was probably the most powerful dream of my life. I am in an amazing alien city, buildings were massive mile high edifices stretching to the horizon, made out of silver and stone that would last forever. I was on a social concourse about half a mile wide between the left and right hand sides of the street. There was no one there, no sign of life, it was like the place had just been built. I am walking down the boulevard, crying my eyes out at how beautiful and overwhelming the architecture was, and suddenly I notice that the street is getting warm. Cracks start to develop, smoke is rising from them, and some of the stones in the street are glowing red. I think to myself, Ok, this is it, this whole place is going to go volcanic any minute. I find myself in bare feet, jumping among the cooler stones as each one gets hot. I know I am going to have to confront this one and it is going to be hard. Finally there are no more cool stones and I am forced to jump onto a red hot one. My feet start to burn and I fall to the ground. The last scene I see my black charred left hand in front of my face, I know the rest of my body is burned and I am about to go exterior. My body is now floating on top of a molten street that is slowly flowing in the direction I had come from, and the huge monolithic buildings are crumbling all around me. I woke up.
