Dreaming; Night of
September 1, 1985

       8:30              2I was watching cartoons on TV in my room (not at all real), when I became somewhat aware. I began trying to control the images on the screen. At first this was difficult, because the dream seemed so real, but then, as I pushed on, it became easier. I changed the colors of some roundish figures, and then watched as each color came to represent a part of a body. All of one color, for example, would shout, "head!" and jump into a pile of other-colored and equally animate parts to try and form a whole, multi-colored creature. The changes that I made in the cartoon were brought about by the same sort of mental "push" as flying has been. This dream, by the way, was much shorter than 1. (A-)
