Morning of May 30, 2017. Tuesday. I am in an unfamiliar home that may be an altered version of our present home. If so, it probably implies the front room (with my computer) as being my bedroom. An unknown female (of about twenty) is present, though I oddly do not perceive her as an imposer. There is some sort of odd act of throwing a number of socks onto the floor to "forecast the future" or to "interpret". I am not consciously involved in this but go through the motions, although it seems like I threw the socks absentmindedly without the intent of someone "reading" them, and the unknown "interpreter" just happened to show up unexpectedly. The socks are not fully forming an actual word, but there is a vague suggestion of the word "cut" which I notice at first. The "interpreter" mentions that it could relate to a cut I will get, supposedly on my upper left arm. There is a scratch there, but then it does not seem to be there at all. Looking more closely, I see what could be additional socks on the floor in the formation of an uppercase "E". This would mean that it actually reads "cute". I start to mention this, but the "interpreter" is no longer present. This is what I get for having been an experienced dream journalist and dream decoder for over fifty years. I do all I can to separate myself from the mindset that believes in "dream interpretation" (in the faddish sense; that is, the superficial pretense one sees all over the Internet, especially inclusive of "dream dictionaries"), but sometimes it is challenging to avoid or ignore all the disinformation and nonsense. (Still, when someone "interprets" another's dream, it is the "interpreter" that is revealing their own life and how they think, not the dreamer's, which should be obvious.) As I perceive virtually everything I read about dreams as the opposite of truth (that is, regarding my own lifelong experiences), there is really nothing I can do about it. For example, every single "fact" I have read about sleep paralysis throughout my life contradicts everything I have ever experienced. Thus, I have never read a single thing about sleep paralysis that I perceive as true (for me). (To be honest, I have only read two sentences in my life that were true for me about dreams, one relating to the biological falling start as not having an "interpretation" but serving as a waking trigger, the other relating to how sleep dynamics and circadian rhythms are symbolized in real time by water and how the water is featured.) I find sleep paralysis a blissful state and try to sustain and augment it as much as I can (typically by squinting upwards and letting the waves of pleasurable energy move throughout my body, head to toe). This is usually followed by a rising sensation, which I try to sustain as it is so joyful and linked to feelings of well-being. As for any additional "presence", it is typically benevolent and loving, not malevolent or "demonic" as most people seem to report. This, and many other experiences throughout my life makes it impossible to relate to many others about dreams and the dream state, which of course, considering that I have worked with dreams all my life and married my literal dream girl, is a tad ironic. The appearance of the socks is a first-level dream sign, as I do not wear socks when I sleep. On a final note, my mother often used the word "cute" as both praise and as sarcasm; it was all in how she said it.
