BAFFLED by my subconscious. Just woke up from a pickup-related dream.

I fall asleep after a midday wanking session.

I dream.

I'm in a social setting. I suddenly become lucid. I see a girl and approach her, knowing this is only a dream but I go anyway. I flirt, pretty quickly ask for her phone number.

She gives her 7-digit number to me and it sounds strangely familiar. I woke up just as this was happening, so the number was fresh on my mind. I write it down immediately. Currently frantically trying to find out who it belongs to. What a strange animal the subconscious is.

Indeed. I just posted a recent thread on lucidity: http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=199703

Seems like a lot of people don't want to touch the topic, or are uneducated.

Anyways, what has helped me for several years is buying myself a dream dictionary. It may sound kind of lame and stupid, but it has helped me decipher dreams many a time. There's actually science backing this stuff up, and a large part of Sigmund Freud's teachings revolved around dreams. I absolutely believe it's tapping into your subconsciousness.

Did your ever find out what the seven digit number represented, or WHO it represented?

Nope, and I'm still dying to find out. I tried calling the number with a few different area codes, and they were all disconnected numbers. Posted on my fb asking if anyone recognized the number lol.

I'm actually interested in getting a dream dictionary. I do know of a couple symbols (stairs = sex). For a while, when I was dealing with a lot of my life problems through escapism, I'd often have dreams where I was running/escaping from some evil, murderous force.

I seem to find SS to be one of the "more educated" pickup forums. Is that an unfounded belief?

Gonna check out your thread now.

SS is informative on dating, I just meant when it comes to "taboo" topics. I feel like a lot of guys here tend to avoid topics like lucid dreams and astral projection etc.. But not everyone is lucky enough to experience this kind of stuff.

Dream dictionaries are great. A lot of times it seems like common sense, but a book can help you a lot. The key is to look for as many keywords as you possibly can, even if they seem irrelevant. Anything you can remember, look it up. You may dream about a car, but the color, model, age, quickness, number of passengers, and everything else that you can remember can help you determine what everything means. It sucks sometimes because when you wake up the memory of the dream starts to get foggy, that's why it's best to do it immediately after. I'd be willing to bet you already forgot some details by now. But the 7 digits seems to resonate with you. So it must be important. Perhaps you shouldn't take it so literally. Think about dates, birthdays, room numbers, and anything else you can think of. Also, how did the numbers make you FEEL in the dream? Dreams are amazing in this sense, as we don't actually communicate verbally, but rather telepathically. We see people and their image is blurry but we somehow know that's "mom", "dad", or "my brother".

I would kill to understand my subconscious better. I live every day trying to be as honest with myself as I can, but ****, ya know sometimes you just aren't capable of handling/understanding your own truth by looking directly inward.

The 7 digits weren't necessarily THAT important. I was able to clearly remember them because 1 it happened RIGHT before I woke up and 2 I have a natural affinity for numbers and memorizing them.

It was funny, I was # closing the girl in my dream. I whip out my phone, try to punch her number in. She had to repeat it a couple times, because for some reason the keys on my phone aren't working. I keep trying to type in the digits, but when I do, random symbols get entered into the phone instead of numbers.

I was indeed aware of the fact that it was a dream, so in my head I was thinking "OMG WHAT DOES THIS NUMBER MEAN." I was like "I NEED to save this number in my phone, then call it when I wake up." But then I realized that saving it in my phone in the dream wouldn't transfer over to my phone in real life, lol. So I just remembered the number as best I could and wrote it down as soon as I woke up.

Well, as Sigmund Freud put it, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." We can't take dreams too literal sometimes, but a lot of metaphorical analogies can be found there.

Also, as most people have noticed, these metaphors tend to be in the shape of things we concentrate on, or experience throughout the day. I think your sub conscience is just making sense of it all. Perhaps the dream has nothing to do with PUA at all. Only you can find out.
