Turquoise Dreams

Last night bed 12am

Bad dream
I walk into a room to see if a person is still sleeping. The ceiling fan is going really fast, faster than it should. The room is dark, just a bit of light coming through closed blinds. I flip the switch to shut it off, but it goes even faster. I can feel the air on my face. I know some entity is doing it and there is no way I'm gonna go into the room to check on this person.

Later on
Latin America. Drug lord is caught and his people are lined up at the wall. I am one of them but I'm also shooting them with an assault rifle. There are old people and women in there and I figure that government soldiers are trying to wipe the slate clean. Now I am the druglord, I walk out with my hands up, holding some paper and somehting else in my hand and they are about to shoot me.

Some kind of a theater, stadium seating. We are getting away from there. Me an 3-4 others are escaping through a city. Dodging police, busting holes in the wall to get through, creating distractions, looking at the faces in the crowds to be vigilant of those that want to stop us.

After we get to where we were going, we need to get back. This was getting tireing.

Today is second day of my WILD attempt - unsuccessful. Day off on monday and today - wednesday.

Last night, bed after midnight - 7:54am. Nap 10am - 1pm. Then second nap later.

FIRST nap dreams:

1.

I'm in Jamaica. We came just for a day. Arrived in the afternoon, then back next evening. As I'm walking outside on the evening of first day, I'm realizing that I don't have enough time to see everything. So I decide to walk to the town ro a beer.

I'm walking on this very rocky and winding path, among some piles or rocks. I sit down to the side to rest, but path is so narrow, I have to constantly move to let people pass.

Ophelia comes along and she asks me why is my ring on left ring finger. I tell her I keep switching with the right hand, when it feels like it should be on the other one. "Like you know, when you sleeping on one side and then you feel you need to turn to the other side, like that". She says "no, i don't know". I wanna talk some more, but she is walking away, turning back to me just to say a few time 'online, online".

I arrive to the town. It's quite modern. Highrise buildings in the center, and older ones around it. There is a tour through the town. It's a rickshaw for maybe 6 people, pulled by a guy on the bike. I watch them for a while, and decide I can walk the tour by myself.

I enter some permanent street fair. There are grilled vegetables and sausages hanging in restarant's windows. I'm sorry that I already ate. I really wanted to sample local cuisine and I don't understand how come I forgot about it.

I walk around looking for a postcard shop to get some nice postcards. A guy is buying a Kit-kat from a next stall, and they also have some coconut-rum chocolate balls that I'm going to buy later, if I don't find something more authentic.

I return back to the motel. Someone said there is a ghost someplace, and it may be exaclty in the building I'm at. Someone walks inside the larger room, where all the beds are. Like a communal sleeping room. The windows and doors close, and this someone starts a seanse. I feel like she is in a hurry to do that, before we have time to protest. She is summoning the ghost and saying that whoever touched the counter with the dead dog, he is someone affected.

2.
Something bad happened. There are some bad guys around us. I think they killed everybody. So me and another person lay down and pretend to be asleep. Suddenly the bad guy checks on me if I'm really asleep/dead, and he figures I'm not. I look at him and he is about to give me a shot. I knock it out of his hand and tell him it's not necessary, I'll cooperate. Then he gives me 2 jelly pills. Red one and green one. I throw them away telling him I'm not taking those either.

He has a station wagon, like in the old west. That somehow turns into a train with open top wagons. There is bunch of us in it. We are already escaping, or are going to escape, when we reach top of the hill. From there we ahve to go backwards on the tracks and train picks up some good spee. Train looks more like the wagons in the mines in Indiana Jones movies.

3.
Some awesome sex. Not sure with whom, but I have a feeling it was a dood.

Tuesday, 9/10/13

Bed 11:15 - 5:20am been drinking water before bed and each time I woke up.

DR 1:40am
Long dream. We are packing bikes for a trip. Something happend on DV. I didn't get up right away to write this down.

DR 5:20am
A kid I know is showing me his collection of fossils. They are in a glass showcase the size of a small room. There are some 2ft grey amonites, at least 2 T-rex skulls, sill partially encased in fossilized dirt. There is a stuffed baby buffalo with deer antlers, sitting. On some things, price tags are still hanging. One says 999. So I know his dad has been buying him all those. I'm impressed with the collection and a bit jealous.

DR 2 -
I'm in a one story house. It's early morning and I just woke up. Not sure what's going on and I go back to sleep. When I wake up again, someone tells me "good job" and I tell him that I just woke up, what could I have possibly done.

Outside in the dirt, there are some artifacts poking out. We call someone. As I'm standing outside in the yard by myself, I see a box truck slowing down and finally stopping accross the street, after driver found our home number. White box truck with some green lettering. I know they sent only one guy, just to check out if it's worth sending an excavation team over.

DR 3 -
I'm escaping. Walking through some open, concrete area. Like a large parking lot, or undeveloped area. Suddenly my route is cordoned off by yellow tape and some construction cones and barriers. It leads me to a warehouse type of a building.

It has large pastic sheets where the doors should be. Me and another guy just look at each other, like really? We have to take a detour throught this?

I'm inside and now we are trying ot get out. Inside it's bright, large rooms, made from corrugated metal sheets or aluminum color. The window is higher up, so the guy urges me to step on some metal rungs and walk on them to reach the window. I do that, and the window has two panes, that open somehow stupidly. I tell the guy he has to hand me his things one by one and I'll hand them to him through the window.

Suddenly, on my right, there are some wall to wall wooden shelves, wide as bed. And I'm laying on one of them, because we are gonna stay there overnight. i wonder where the other escapees went. I go to look for them and I find them in the next room. It's lit with soft yellow-orange light. I keep walking and now I'm in a room with lots of different beds. Big glass windows on the left. I realize i'm in a large store in a mall. Next room is all kitchen equipment. And the next one, looks like a large kitchenett of an office. I talk to 2 friends of mine here, eating sandwiches from the fridge. They have huge pieces of dill cheese. I think to myself, that they should go easy on food, so everybody can have some.

But it looks like there is no shortage of food. As I lean over to the fridge for a soda, I notice on the shelf above some chocolates. Those round lindt chocolates, that are filled with something. Prevailing color is red. I read the packages and they all sound so delicious. In another room, that looks like storage, are 5ft tall paper bins, filled with different kinds of Lindt round ball chocolates. Some are filled with soft chocolate, some with marzipan. I'm awestruck. I'm kinda envious of the people working there, how well is the company taking care of them. I'm putting a few of them in my bag to take home.

Friday, 4/12/13

I woke up at 6:30 am and went back for a nap at 8am.

I was going to WILD, but for some reason, I didn't get any indication of it.

Turned to my left side and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was sure I had a DILD, but didn't get uo, went back to sleep. Next time I woke up, I wasn't so sure about DILD anymore. Until I started to write down snippets. I was trying to recall, if I got any surprise or happiness when I realized I'm lucid, but I didn't remember any. Until now. Now I clearly remember telling someone "ok, I'll count my fingers, but it's pointless, I'm not dreaming". Then I counted 6-7 fingers on my left hand. I was completely surprised. I counted again and again, in awe, showing someone how many fingers I have. So DILD is confirmed.

Snippets for DILD and non-lucids mixed in my memory:

- I walked into my parents house. My dad had my mom's haircut and he was blond. With thin wire glasses. (just now I realized, he resembled the russian spy from The Americans show in his blond wig). My room looked the same way I had it when I was a child. I discovered, that my closet is haunted.

- My brother with his wife and child are visiting. I want to know when they leave, so I can go out and come back before they leave.

- I'm flying in controlled flight. Happy.

- I'm taking a cab home. 2 other passengers. We go by my house and I want to get out, but cabbie says it has to be in order we got in. So we go to two other places first. I decide not to give him a tip.

- I walk into a room and it's an interrogation room. A guy is behind a desk. (I was watching the show Revolution before bed)

- I'm escaping through the roof, but each time I break through a layer, there is another, different one behind it.

- I'm diving into a lake, wanting to swim in tropical sea. Water is dark and dirty, like a polluted river. I'm trying to make it brighter and it's getting brighter and I'm starting to see gravel on the bottom.

I suspect there was more, but don't remember it.

Sunday, 2/17/13 Bed 12:30am Took 50mg B-complex at 3:30pm Drinking water before bed and each time I woke up

DR1 - 2:50am - I'm modding with someone. Then we walk home and when we get there, now I'm suppose to drive him home.

DR2 - 5:02am - I'm on almost flat plains. Ground is covered in snow. It's not very deep, some dirt is still showing through. Grey, wintery skies.

We are retrieving to defendable position that is on a very small hill with some remnants of buildings. Mostly just few crumbled walls. As we reach the top, I see an enemy horse rider, and there is a hole bunch of them behind him coming fast. We run back down, between the walls and get ready.

DR3 - 7:15am I just got on a bus. Take a seat and realize I should have some bus tickets (narrow strips of paper), but I don't think I do. I start looking anyway, because everybody is going in their bags. I think the inspector is on the bus.

Then I see someone pay cash to the driver. I walk up and ask if I can pay for the ride. She asks me if I wouldn't wanna buy a whole book of tickets. I ask how much - she says $11, if I have that much money. I look at the wad of bills in my hand and start pulling out a $10 bill and look for $1 bill, when I spot an $11 bill and I hand her that. I sit down and I have 4 sheets of paper in my hand, two different shades of green and pink with tickets printed on them.

A passenger comes on, sits to my left and eats some candy from a small bag. Driver makes a comment about his yummy candy and calls him by his name. Now she also has candy and big chocolate easter egg in a basket where the ticket machine is. I wish I could taste some australian candy. A boy sitting in the first seats on the left throws me a candy bar.

As we are stopped, I see some very young kids, dressed in worn out t-shirts by the bus. The all carry Kalashnikovs. One woman seems to be their leader. I turn to the passenger behind me and say something like we are screwed.

They get on a bus in orderly manner. Someone says we should stand up. We do. As they walk the isle, people are scared. They seem to be looking for someone, or just seeing whom they should take. I prop my chin with my fist and act as if I can't see them and I look out the window.

They usher us of the bus. I'm with a group of people. I see a lady in a house window mouth to me "I'm calling the cops". We go through some door in a fence. Suddenly no one from our captors is there. I say why don't we just leave. But they walk thorugh another door. I stay outside, between two fences. A guy walks nearby and I yell at him to call the cops. To tell them, these guys have Kalashnikovs.

One of the bad guys walks by and enters the gate. I act as nothing is happening. Then I go another direction. This whole area seems like a construction zone or a large factory. Huge pipes, ceiling cranes, concrete floor...

I start climbing through some piles of pipes, there are some other people there. I get to a hallway and some rooms. I peak into rooms, trying to find exit. Before I walk in a room, I try to see if there is a shadow moving underneath the door, that way I would know someone is in there.

Just a bit anxious during this dream, not scared. But didn't have the good feel of a chase as many of my "hide and seek" dreams have.
