Frogs, OK, and even the slug--but the giant peacock?

S and I in bed in a small room whose door opens to a flat desert outside.  Bright outside, dark inside.  I look from bed through the open door and see an enormous bright green bullfrog hopping by.  It splits into two bullfrogs who bounce? against each other and then become one again.  Then a fantastical slug scoots by.  It is about a yard long, colored in various shades of blue, with snake-like blue scales on its top.  It moves not like a normal slug, or even a snake, but in a steady effortless glide across the desert floor, like a little train engine.  Then an enormous blue peacock prances into the bedroom.  It is the size of an emu, with azure tail feathers and a short fat beak.  It pokes around in the room, slightly threatening but more of an annoyance than a serious threat.  It pecks at my back (I'm now lying on my stomach in bed) where I'm not covered by the blanket. 

tree at night

Deep night.  I'm in a bare-branched tree, high above the ground, reclining on a branch with no sense of threat.  The limbs of the tree are dark against the night sky, which is filled with a semi-regular pattern of small clouds.  The clouds are dark gray, blue-purple against the nearly black sky.  They are luminous is this somber register.  A young black woman is behind/below me in the tree, both of us naked.  She reaches one hand around my chest and rubs one nipple in a decidedly erotic manner.  I wake. 

More mystic light on water.

Last night dreamed of R.  She was standing at a distance from me in a field of bright green grass that grew 3 or 4 feet high.  Behind her the land dropped away as a massive cliff down to the ocean.  The light was cloudy/bright, saturating the colors.  In the far distance down the coastline I could see an island covered with many large buildings, almost like a castle or fort.  The sunset was behind it, so that the island and the structures were silhouetted.  The contrast of sunset and silhouette made the island seem to glow.

I approached her and saw that she had gained a lot of weight.  Her face was garishly made-up, with bright red rouge spots on her cheeks. 

 "Are you surveying your domain," I asked, somewhat ironically as I pointed to the island, which I knew to be her home.  She didn't reply, but I could now she that she was weeping.

"What's wrong," I asked.

"No one likes me," she said, and turned her face away.

After some confusion I found myself lying the ground beside her.  We kissed a bit, and I remember kissing her neck. 

That's all, but on waking it felt like the dream was in the 'mystic light on water' category.  Not last night but the night before I remember wishing I could have another dream like that before falling asleep.

helicopter landing

Landed twice in a helicopter last night--maybe the President's helicopter?--both times the landing was jarring.  Later went to the truck but found that the back half of it was missing.

another mystic light

Driving on a narrow road I realize that I've wandered off and into a field beside the road.  The field is grassy and wet, with deep puddles covering most of it.  I turn the car around and head back to the road.  When I do, I see that the sky is dark with clouds but directly in front and above me there is an opening through which a bright light pours.  The puddles in the field are illuminated with shiny reflections.  I grab my camera and try to take a picture of the light but the clouds close again before I can get the picture composed.  Nevertheless a very positive feel about the experience.

This is another one of the mystic light in an expanse of nature dreams.  Oddly, they often involve a car.  Am I trying to remember something?  Could there be a specific experience behind these dreams?  Each time they happen I feel that something significant is taking place, but beyond my understanding. 

This afternoon I walked in the Bot Garden and spent half an hour or so sitting beside the river on a boulder, just listening to the nature sounds and enjoying the warm afternoon.  The sense of peace felt related to last night's dream. 

How can I get more of this?
