Morning of June 1, 2015. Monday.
This was a rather unusual sequence in that I deliberately semiconsciously “reset” my dream about four times. The way I did it seemed to involve having to be on my left side and mentally focusing on an area above the center of the bed, which is similar to a routine relating to more abstract dreams. I have never done anything exactly like that before (at least for a dream “reset”), although I have deliberately gone back into the “same” dreams off and on throughout my life by semiconscious intent.
Jordan Gavaris of “Orphan Black” is in some sort of unusual production of “Swan Lake” with others I am not sure of the identity of (other than a younger version of my wife) and at one point is wearing a white bodysuit (though people seem to change costumes fairly quickly directly on the stage). The stage is mostly like a large platform that is elevated and centered very high above the audience and access is via one corner that is much like a circus trapeze setup. I do not seem to be directly involved in the performance even though I am on stage most of the time. Unused stage props and equipment are supposedly in full view of the audience at all times. However, it does not make any sense because if the audience is way down below us, how could any members of the audience even see us unless there was a camera filming everything live (though that is not implied)?
Although I am somewhat wary of the edges of the stage, it seems safe enough. At one point Jordan and a few others ride in a sleigh-like vehicle that looks like a white swan, which is being pulled by a rope by a machine on one side of the stage. I seem to be following Jordan’s mood in his wariness about being too close to the edge of the platform at times but nothing threatening occurs.
In one of the last “resets” an unknown male climbs up to the platform from far below. I am not sure if he is involved in the production though he watches for a time. Oddly, I get the impression he may also be a known serial killer (something to do with his appearance seeming slightly familiar as such) but I am not that worried - probably because there are so many other people around. In all versions of my dream, I begin to feel an intense exhilaration at being so high up even though there is a vague sense of the whole setup possibly being precarious and an awareness that people could easily fall to their death at any moment, especially in going near the edges of the platform.
In the last “reset”, the platform seems higher than ever. When I look downward in one direction, the audience is so far away, I can barely discern individual people. It seems somewhat like a football stadium at this point (though about four times the distance from the center), with the platform elevated from the center of the field. The audience is so far away, I still do not see how anyone could see anything on the stage or even see the stage itself at all. The curious sensations of giddiness continue, though not enough to be that disorienting. Oddly, I do not become lucid in-dream at any point even though I was aware enough to “reset” my dream a few times.
