font-size: 12pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In this dream I lived not far from a small lake.\u00a0 Where I lived was itself part of the weirdness.\u00a0 It was like an apartment building with some shared common area that everyone could use.\u00a0 It was build really open.\u00a0 I could see the lake somewhat from where I lived, there were buildings between myself and the lake that partially obscured my view.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lights had been seen over the lake at night.\u00a0 I wouldn&#8217;t call them UFO&#8217;s because they had no discernible size or shape, they appeared as point sources of white light that would kind of drift about before extinguishing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Some friends and I, nobody I know in this waking life, decided to try to photograph these lights.\u00a0 There was an abandoned medical lab that faced the lake and had a clear view of it and a cement loading dock that we thought would be a good place to setup tripods at night and photograph these lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I took a few pictures and then one friend insisted we go down to the lake.\u00a0 I went and as I arrived one of these lights went right by me.\u00a0 They would float by and then just kind of fade out and disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There was a structure like decks off an apartment without an apartment and ladders to access the upper floors.\u00a0 These were built for people who wanted to stay late or overnight to observe the light.\u00a0 It had become quite a draw.\u00a0 There were tables on the shore where people would sit and play cards as these lights would float through the air by them and disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 My friends had reserved one of these decks for the night and stashed a bunch of junk food there so we&#8217;d have something to munch on while we watched and photographed these lights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000080;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 These lights were too small to be craft, appeared as point sources even close up.\u00a0 They appeared to have some interest in humans, as if they were as curious about us as we about them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lately, I have remembered very few of my dreams.\u00a0 Last night, I had a very strange dream.\u00a0 I had quite a lot of pain last night but did not turn to marijuana for relief, perhaps that is why I &hellip;
