Dream Entry #1
I find myself watching TV in the dorm, watching my closest friend on a reality TV show. I feel a bit of unease, but not much past that. He is walking and talking with some of the other members of the show. Suddenly, even though he is warned, he does not look down at a steep drop (500 feet I later find out) that is at the base of a cliff. I watch as my friend falls off the cliff, doing an almost cartoon full stop and waving of the arms before falling out of sight. I hear the crack of his neck as he lands below.
Needless to say I am quite upset by all of this. During this whole experience, it is like I am looking through the camera, a subtle shift in perspective. I find myself at the funeral now, and I am saddened. I wake up after this.
Interpertation
Important to note here is that I am in fact not sleeping in my own bed that evening, so that could have something to do with the odd dream. The friend falling could harken back to my earlier worries for him in the recent past. Unsure. Going to reintroduce some Lucidity techniques in the next couple days.
