Last week I had a series of intense dreams. The most memorable being the one where me and another person would awake together in a new dimension- and if one of us died (or if we chose to leave, actually) we would simply wake up once more in a different dimension. Thats not to say if he died we'd both leave the dimension though. The longest time I spent on my own was about a month in a dense rainforest space that I particularly liked. The person who leaves first experiences no time passing before we both wake up together in the new dimension.
The dimensions were very different and often quite beautiful.
Sometimes it would be populated with other people, mostly it would be abandoned. My favourites were the abandoned ones, like one desolate sky-scraper city was very pretty at sunset, lots of soft golds and whites. And I fucking love nature which I assume is why I stayed so much longer in the rainforest world, plus the tree house we had appeared in was really nice.
I was killed a few times though, I can vividly remember some sort of tribes person spearing me through the chest, though which universe it happened in eludes me, perhaps it was the rainforest, maybe that's how I eventually left it. Another time someone pushed me off a very tall building, I fell for quite a long time before I left the body. Actually I just remembered that that was the skyscraper city maybe, and it was the other traveller that pushed me because I had asked him to, we spent a lot of our time quite bored actually.
I remember there being many, though most were unremarkable. Some had futuristic technology, but I could never really figure that out. Most were kind of archaic, varying from mudhuts to ancient rome in how advanced their building was. We always woke up in a building though I think, so the worlds all must have been populated at some point. I didn't know the other person I was with, just some projection of myself maybe, though he was pretty normal.
The last world we were in before I woke up was a pretty violent one actually, we had both been captured and tied to these carts drawn by horses. I believed we were going to their leader for whatever reason. They seemed really angry at us for some reason, so I think I was wondering if they thought we had done something we hadn't? Sometimes the people were nice to us, mostly they kept their distance, and a couple of times were like this one where we were met with negativity. I think I made friends with some outsiders in a couple of dimensions, but on average we stayed between a day and a couple of weeks, rarely ever longer, so the connections were never deep.
I can't remember my friends face anymore. I'm feeling kind of sad about that now. We were probably together for roughly six months. It's so strange when large amounts of time appear to pass in dreams. Leaves me with an odd sensation of feeling aged when I wake up.
Anyway, I call dreams like these 'story dreams' and they're usually pretty spectacular. For the most part my dreams are more jumbled and dream like though, sometimes I get hybrids, where story dreams blend and get jumbled a bit, but keep an overarching storyline, they're never as good or as interesting as my true story dreams though.
