Dream Journal #2

We were having a pool party at my parent's house. The pool wasn't completely clean, it so more similar to the consistency of a lake, with plant life such as water lilies. There were people snorkeling through the grasses and lilies. For some reason I was afraid to get in the water. I walked over to a barn [which doesn't exist in my parent's back yard] to look for a mask and snorkel. It was a traditional barn with big doors and hay on the floor. There was junk piled everywhere. I began going though it and eventually found a mask. I kept moving deeper into the barn looking for a snorkel when I stumped on two people from the party having sex on a mat. We were all startled. I apologized and told them it was cool and to keep going. I left the barn with only a mask. As I closed the door I saw an authority figure (parent? boss? cop?) coming towards the barn. I opened the door and yelled to the lovers that someone was coming. I left the scene and walked back to the pool. Almost every one had gotten out of the pool. Even though I had this enormous fear, I put on my mask and dove into the section with the water lilies. If felt very awkward diving in, like I couldn't get my arms in the correct position.

We all had these magnetic necklaces. They were the hard, metal wire kind. They had a few inches taken out making them look like a “C” so you could fit it around your neck [similar to bracelets]. The metal was as thick as a drinking straw and at each end was spherical rare earth magnet. When you put it around your neck the magnets would attract each other, clamping the necklace around your neck. There was a group of us sitting in this room [no one from my real life]. A few people put theirs on but once on the magnets were strong enough you couldn't take it off. We were talking, talking about life, talking about the necklaces, and talking about some of the weird things that had been happening recently. Slowly more and more people decided to try on the necklaces until I was the only one left without an adorned neck. I didn't want to put something on that could never be taken off. And who exactly was giving out the necklaces? I couldn't remember. For some reason I knew it wasn't just us with these necklaces. It was everyone in the world. I was worried they had mind control properties. I began to distrust everyone in the room. To seem like I was part of the new system, I put the necklace around my head, which stretched it enough so the magnetic ends couldn't meet. Later on I looked out a window and saw bizarre space ships in a grassy field. It was then I realized the necklaces were part of an Alien mind control plot. Everyone in the room was chatting pleasantly, completely oblivious to the Alien presence.

Analysis: Well for me it's quite obvious. I have been trying to get a job. Although I do not fear the change that will come with a new job (in fact I look forward to it), there is still a lot of uncertainty and that is expressed through my subconscious. As for alien mind control plots against the humans race... shouldn't we all be a little worried about that? And isn't it interesting, in my conscious life I am not paranoid (except for known government spying plots, "Hi NSA") or afraid of jumping into the deep end of life.
