Across the Atlantic Ocean
| Draw |
Trigger Warnings: None
Dreaming Techniques: Early Wake
The dream starts out with me sitting on a pearl wagon with a small bipedal dragon friend (basically a young child but dragon anatomy minus the wings) and my physics teacher driving the vehicle. The scenery was very pastel and had lots of light pinks, purples and blues. The ground was covered in an iridescent pink/white grass with the path we followed cutting across it in a winding manner. To my left I could see a purply-blue ocean that seemed calm, and to my right was a vast plain. The sky was the colour of that like the sky at dawn (pink/yellow/orange) with fluffy white clouds passing by, and we were about to pass through a valley between some tall purple-grey mountains with snow on top. I should note that in this dream I was a middle aged man, late 20s to mid 30s. The wagon was being drawn by an impressively stocky horse with both a seahorse tail and legs. It was the same colour as the wagon.
As we passed through the mountain range I spotted some long, purple dragons flying up over us towards an elegant castle surrounded by a bustling pastel city. The road was now paved with even bricks, and the whole city had a glimmer to it. We passed through a large metal gate with beautiful curls and waves, opened by two gatekeepers. We were warmly welcomed inside as travellers.
Once the wagon was parked beside other similar wagons in a designated spot, we all hopped off. The city was a kind of paradise, and I was surprisingly eager to go touristing and meet the locals. I follow my teacher with the dragon pal beside me for some time to get to the docks, but I get distracted by a tailor's shop and go inside. Here I go into third person and see how I actually look (middle-aged, short brown hair, slight stubble, white), and I try on clothes. I end up going back to my original outfit and exiting the shop back to my group. My teacher was a little irritated, but he forgave me and we carried on back to the docks.
Skip forwards a bit and we're at a small cliff beside the ocean and shore. There was a simple boat made for trips that would last a couple weeks, with a cabin, railing- it was basically a white fishing boat but a bit sturdier because of the ocean we were at was a bit dangerous for sailing across. My teacher hops on board, and then me and the dragon do so too. The boat wobbles a bit, but it becomes sturdy once more and we set off with my teacher as the driver.
It becomes a bit of a montage now as the days and weeks go by on the Atlantic ocean (my teacher told us as we began sailing, though now I would actually call it the Polar ocean). I remembered that we were there on a scientific mission to find out how cold the ocean could get based on where we were. At first it was a bit chilly, but it was fine for us. The next scene I could see icebergs and both I and the dragon were wearing winter clothing, though my teacher was wearing his regular clothes and taunted "This is considered hot weather by the professionals" at us. This did concern me somewhat. I could also see a thunderstorm on the horizon, which didn't bode well for us.
Eventually we returned back to the city as we deemed it too dangerous to carry on any further into the ocean. We instead looked into different venues around the city, such as the theatre and the church. I should mention that the architecture of this city in the centre was very much to build up instead of across. The civilian houses were stacked on top of one another, and you could travel across from one level of housing (above ground level) to another level through these curling metal bridges with metal fencing that was fashioned to have waves and spirals in. The different levels of housing also had different colours, with blue at the bottom, the a pastel yellow, and finally a baby pink at the top.
My memory becomes a little fuzzy towards the end, but I recall focusing a lot of attention onto my dragon buddy who was asked a question by an actor at a theatre about whether he could fly (he had no wings). He proceeded to become a phoenix and fly around the sky in the city, weaving around the tall buildings. His feathers changed colours from purple to green and back again.
The dream ended with me spotting a rival of some sort. He was also a middle aged guy, dressed in the same victorian clothing as me, but we both had a feud of some kind. He started to follow me around the city and I entered my hotel room.
Then I woke up.
Notes: i enjoyed this more peaceful dream. i woke up a bit earlier than usual today and so i thought about what i was dreaming of, thinking of the details and such, and i went back to bed. i know there are some details i missed out on such as this tribal event that occured before we entered the city, but i barely remember it so i didnt include it.
