Dream Mapping Submission

Dream Retelling:

Write the dream from start to finish. Write a straightforward description of events in the order they occurred. Describe what happened, not what you think it means. No interpretation.

Format Rules:

• Write it as a continuous first-person retelling

• If the scene changes, label it "Next scene:"

• Brief clarifications in parentheses are fine (who someone is, place, timeframe)

• Do not include interpretation, symbolism guesses, or waking-life analysis

Example:

"I'm in a train car with silver walls. A woman in a red coat is sitting by the window on my left. The train speeds up. Next scene: the windows disappear. I understand we're underground, even though I don't see a tunnel. I wake up."

Emotional Tone:

Neutral, urgent, dread, curiosity, grief, pressure, relief, etc. If it shifts, note the shift.
