ORIGINAL TEXT - "Blimp racers" dream, 1971. From
journal, volume #3.
Below is the exact and complete text of a dream and my commentary on
it, as recorded on October 1, 1971 in New Port Richey, Florida. A few
minor corrections have been made. This is linked to from Paranormal
Journal.
10/1/1971
DREAM: [Much forgotten] At times I was a girl in
this dream - one that had suffered some reversal - shy and
unnecessarily withdrawn from the social life about me. There was a
scene where in a confused state I was being struck by a water sprinkler
spray. I couldn't see well - my eyes were covered - and I knew I was
wandering closer to the spray. Later I lay down on a bed in a room with
light coming through shades and had thoughts of great clarity -
peaceful - above the previous confusion. "There is no reason for me to
withdraw into myself" I thought and related this to the idea that I was
actually not so bad looking a girl. Then someone entered my room - I
didn't see him but it was a male voice telling me the "blimp racing
team" at UCLA had dreamed of me and they liked me (as a girl) and would
be contacting me. I was skeptical but he said it was true - he had read
it in the Daily Bruin (the
UCLA student paper) - all the team had
dreamed of me. Some confusion re-entered my mind now as I was somewhat
aware of not being a girl and not really wanting male attention. END
COMMENTARY: Precognitive
aspects!
I awoke from previous dream and thought about
it. I definitely felt it was a precognitive dream but the absurdity of
a "blimp racing team," as well as the fact that I could not think of
anyone at UCLA likely to contact me, both made me decide it was just
some sort of sex dream (blimp = phallus). I decided not to write it
down. While still thinking of it, at about 9 AM, the doorbell rang and
I received a special delivery letter from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
in Boulder, Colorado. I was not at all expecting to hear from them
because they had returned my employment forms several weeks earlier.
Note that they are located in Boulder - where I also lived and went to
college (as well as UCLA). My association with the agency name has
always been on the "atmospheric" and I think of people that release
weather balloons, etc. Consider also that at present this is not the
kind of job I would really like. Though this dream was not recorded
until after receiving the letter there is no chance I imagined it -
having been consciously considering it for several minutes prior to the
door bell ringing. The letter was sent "air mail special delivery."
Note that my unseen friend who works on "Futurama" said there would be
many walks in the tunnels.
[Letters were dated Sept. 3 and Sept. 29 from R. G. Davis in
Personnel]
