Thanks for that good advice to Pay Attention, Sparrowhawk. I've decided that it's time to start keeping that journal again. Even if I only remember a portion of a dream, it may turn out to be significant. The more I think about it, also, I'll bet that one day my daughter WILL ask about that toy chest.

Mecca and Pagan Medium: I hadn't thought of these dreams quite as OBEs, but perhaps that is what they are. I do know that the dreams I'm having currently are totally unlike any I've ever had in my life--I feel like I'm stepping into someone else's life as nothing in them is familiar.

katgirl 1972: I wish I had a guide as you do (or at least that I was aware of it). I've also heard things at times, and recently during my waking time a snippet of a dream I've had in the past will pop into my consciousness. One would think it would be relevant to what's happening at the time, but so far they haven't seemed to be. Something about the situation must trigger the memory, but I'm just not figuring it out.
