These dreams are dark. I don’t know why when everything in the day seems so light. This dream was of moles and animals digging huge tunnels and complexes beneath the ground. It was a funny dream because i felt so safe under the ground, and I could see. It was like bioluminescence and everything just seemed to ‘be’ it wasn’t that anything was lit up, but more like everything just was a source of light.
I found the entrance right here under my bed. They must have been digging for years. Holes and tunnels and groundwork pulled away. The ground was solid, but loose, and full of dripping water. I could hear the sounds of things moving far off into the distance, and the caverns were huge. I am not sure if they were just expanding natural structures, and my room had these caverns beneath them. It seems to me that they were all dug by mouth and hand. The earth scooped aside. The tunnels following some pattern that I don’t understand. I know that there is a rhythm to the the spaces that have been dug out, and there must be an order and pace to where they dug and when.
There is water too, more than i would have thought was possible. Running in streams everywhere and pooling into large ponds and small lakes. There doesn’t seem to be much pattern here either. Is this what they did with all the dirt they dug off the walls and floors? Did they just let the water carry it away, and where did the water go? Where was it coming from in the first place. I can’t tell if this is rain water or from somewhere deep underground. The smell of the water in the air mixed with the smell of damp earth is beyond description. I know i have smelled this before, but never like this. The water smells ancient and cold. Like flat minerals and stillness. I can’t describe it, but it makes me feel thirsty. At the same time though I don’t need to drink.
Why do my dreams seem to pull me to earth and water. They are tied together, and the minerals of one soak into the medium of the next. They bring everything together it seems, and they show up so often in my mind. This is the first time i have sunk into the floor in my sleep. Is this place really here when i am awake? Do these creatures exist in the world around me, gnawing places in the earth. Am i supposed to explore below myself, into the ground and dig below where i am. Or is that substructure already there? Is there a basement below me that I haven’t seen yet, some hidden place where everything is illuminated but not seen. What are the creatures that dug this out. I didn’t see them in the dream. I seem to be dreaming more and more. I need to figure out some way to break the dream and wake up.
