The Blue Beam Dream

This Dream was my first ever recorded dream. The reason I recorded it was because I personally loved it so much, it was really like living life as a hero in a video game. This Dream may not be appealing to all but I thought it would be a good one to set the tone of who I am, and at large how and what I dream about. Although very brief, this dream felt very real at the time I dreamt it (much like most of my dreams).

This dream was recorded on Dec 22 2010 while I was on my mission.

The dream went like this:

It was a cold dark night, as I walked along the sidewalk with a figure of an old man. We were talking about something that I can’t recall, but it was engaging enough that we continued to walk and talk. The sky was filled with thick clouds, though you could easily see them from the dim light coming from the city.

The sky and surrounding area started to be filled with a light blue color, when a feeling of uneasiness started to overcome me, something was wrong. I turned to the man and told him I needed to leave. As I turned my head towards the sky I began to be propelled from flames jetting out of my hands. I zoomed to the source of the light as fast as I could, filling myself with tension to get up to maximum speed.

When I reached above the clouds I saw something that was so large that it filled the sky and almost all of the range that my eyes could see. The vast size of it was so gigantic that it gave me chills upon seeing something so huge and spacious, it was indeed without a doubt, my multi color scripture marking pencil, and it was big.

It extended endlessly into space so that the only part of it I could see clearly was the tip. The metal extension that holds the lead when you are writing, slowly peered out of the mechanical pencil, as it began to open. When it fully opened a strong light blue beam shot forth raging toward the Earth at high speed.






The pencil and the beam were far from the Earth but because of their size they seemed to be right in front of me. Hesitating at first because of the immense size but feeling a strong sense of urgency that I needed to do something fast, I blasted at supersonic speed to a place that would be directly under the beam. I needed to protect the Earth.

When I was directly in the path of the projected beam I scrambled in my pocket for the object that would insure my triumph. Quickly and defiantly I pulled out a Green colored “Chaos Emerald” (an item of unlimited energy capacity and power, from the Sonic the hedgehog video games) and threw my arm towards the impending threat. With the Emerald clasped tightly in my hand yet enough of it revealed that the beam would hit it and not my hand.


Suddenly and with great force the blue light slammed into the Emerald only to be held at a standstill from the power within the gem. Boldly and with confidence I voiced the words needed to fully activate the Emeralds power to seal away the powerful beam. “Chaos Control!” I shouted.  Immediately the air shifted violently, even reality itself shook from the command. In a moment the light blue beam that impended doom to the Earth was sealed away. The threat of lingering danger was dispersed.

The Earth was safe once again.

And then I woke up

I was pretty impressed at how awesome of a dream it was, and even if I tried making something up, I don’t know if I could have thought of such a good scenario. Elder Barker does it all, saving souls by day, and saving the Earth by night.

Please feel free to drop a comment in the space below, I would love to hear what you thought or if you had any questions, thanks so much for taking the time to read. I hope you found it as fun and entertaining as I did =].

Let the dreaming begin!

Well I guess I should start off with a little background of what this blog is about, and why I am doing it. For those who don't know me (hard to think that anyone would be reading this that doesn't know me), my name is Graham Barker, and for as long as I can remember, I have had very vivid and interesting dreams. Now normally this wouldn't be very interesting to listen to some random quack go on about his crazy dreams, but I dream so frequently and a lot of the time these dreams can be very entertaining.

I got this idea today after waking up from a nap and started to recall the dream I had just experienced, when I thought to myself, man this dream is really has a lot of random things in it, I should really start recording them or something. I have only once recorded a dream in my life, but countless times missionaries would gather in my room in the early morning to listen to some of the dreams I would have. Sometimes funny, other times weird, and the odd time a dream that is just down right random, but it was always fun to gather around and talk about the crazy dreams Elder Barker would have.

So now I have decided to record these dreams, and why not share the experience with random onlookers, whether you care or not! I don't look for things in my dreams that "mean something" or try to tell my future, although sometimes dreams can be used for that, and once or twice that has happened to me, I merely wanted to write something of mild interest that people might find interesting, or entertaining at the least.

So with all the long winded intros out of the way, let the dreaming begin!
