BlairBros' Adventures

Here is a quick jot down of my dreams from my 2 days away.

1/12/15:
1: Some sort of Ubuntu party in Sweden
2: Being in a record store, seeing some records from Bindrune
3: Catching a train with some mates. We end up going to a party house (like we actually did haha) along with some other people.
4: Playin an mmo, kinda like a more horror-y version of Skyrim. I kept getting advice on how to debunk myths people had about the game, eg. seeing a dead child at night, gotta squat over them for some reason or other. Kinda forgot the details here.
5: Two women on a quiz show, like the Chase. They got caught for cheating, using radio earpieces.

2/12/15:
1: A war with Turkey (The country lol)
2: Athletics at Pascoe Vale, barely a fragment
3: Watching a game of football with my dad, there were 4 teams playing the one game as a giant free for all.
4: Cheese and Spaghetti on a giant pizza (yum).

The first night back into trying to have LD's and I sorta succeeded, yay! My recall of this has slipped a little bit but here we go.
1: I was helping my mum do something about the American election on the computer, there was some really dodgy propaganda videos playing.

2: My class and I were in China, Shanghai I think, and we were all waiting outside a big, old, fancy building. A couple of policemen came out and asked some of us to go in, so we followed. Turns out they weren't really policemen, but employees inside what appeared to be a sleazy brothel sort of place. We stated chatting with some people as the rest of the class came in. Some fights broke out and somehow our teacher got co-opted into a fight to the death with their champion. We all sat down in stands and watched as their champion, wearing a metal gauntlet, stepped out. Our teacher came out and the two began to fight in a boxing ring. I'm not sure what happened with the fight then as the dream sort of dissolved.

3: I was on my computer, thinking this was waking life, when I decided to do a reality check because why not. Surprise surprise, I was in fact dreaming and my fingers slid through my palm. I sort of confirmed this was a dream by swapping in between feeling my dream body and real body and telling myself to remember that I was in bed, but I still had lowish level lucidity. Anyway I sort of reformed the previous dream and then took the place of my teach. This time however my opponent had full metal armour, a shield and a mace, whereas I just had fists. I danced around for a while, avoiding his swings, until I had a plan. As he swung the mace I blocked on the inside and slapped it out his hand. This meant he was free with his other hand to punch me, so I dragged that hand in so the gauntlet was digging into me, but I held it in their as I flipped the visor of his helmet and proceeded to pummel his face. After a dozen punches or so he fell over,but the cost was great as I had a great big gash across my stomach where the spiked knuckles of his had dug in.

After this lucidity wobbled for a bit and the scene changed, but I regained it and shot a fireball off at my brother (lol). The scene changed again so I was outside my old house. I regained lucidity and then started flying, the first time I've managed it in a dream!!! It felt fantastic as I soared a couple of hundred metres above the ground, but I don't remember much after I landed as the dream and lucidity dissolved.

4: Just a fragment about being in a park and helping two women with a baby. It was almost infused with Skyrim so I used a weapon to try and kill an animal to loot it but was having difficulty.

1: I was going around the suburb where my school is checking out real estate (fragment).

2: I was playing hearthstone and instead of picking your class for arena I could pick different heroes who had already had certain number of wins. The first time I did it I picked one which would get 25-75 wins, so I ended up with 53 or so and Gold ridiculous amount of gold. I showed this to my friend at school and he couldn't believe it, as he kept on only getting ones with 2-3 wins. This was a rather odd dream, particularly as when I was actually playing the game I got transported to a New York style city.

3: I remember fragments about someone vomiting and a few people being in an all terrain vehicle.

I'm sure I remembered more but I have forgotten a decent chunk, lazy wakings hehe.

1: I was on a beach paradise in Mexico with my family. My dad, brother and I were gathered around a fire at twilight, sitting back in hammock like chairs. The talk turned to football, and apparently my team (the Western Bulldogs) had lost to Collingwood, kicking us out of the finals. We were all a bit distraught and tensions flared a bit.

2: I was playing a sort of MMO, where it combined mini games based on all sorts of different other games, except i was inside the world of the game. I created my account and then got cracking. The map showed a large, somewhat circular central island with a smaller island on the top left. The middle band of the central island seemed to be greyed out, perhaps needing an update, so I started off in the lower portion. I played some sort of minigame where I jumped around the city, grabbing bundles of cash that were stuck on the walls and posts etc. After that I decided to go to the top right corner of the main island, which dream deja vu told me was a theme park which I had been to long ago. The place seemed mostly deserted as I went on the rollercoaster and some of the other rides, it was a bit sad really. I went back to the middle top section of the island, called the maintenance section or something, where I was in a storeroom full with cleaning and building supplies. I was running around a bit trying to fix things and generally making a mess of myself. The dream cut a bit where I was with a friend at school and asking him how many steam points did they have.

3: I was one of three dwarves from the lord of the rings/hobbit. I was one of the three last living dwarves that were part of the group which travelled with Bilbo, and there was a feud growing amongst us. I was determined to be the last of them to die, yet the woman who was there was angry at me. The other male dwarf there, Kuro, was being exposed as a fraud, I was tugging his big grey beard and it was coming off slightly, it was a very weird experience. At the end I abandoned the two of them and went off into the woods on my own, vowing that I would be the last to die...

1: I was a mouse trapped in a cage/safe by someone who resembled my brother. I'm not sure entirely how I got into the cage, but whenever I tried to escape he always caught me and put me back. He gave me cheese every now and then, which is when I usually tried to escape, but no luck. I tried to leap across to the kitchen table, which had some sore of portal on it, but alas he caught me every time. I eventually stopped trying to escape, resigning myself to a life of imprisonment, when he left me alone for a little bit to answer the door. As he was talking to his friend/colleague, I managed use a lockpick from inside the safe to twist the lock open, escape through the door and, just as he turned around in suspicion, I sprinted out the door like a ball of lightning! Freedom!

2: More of a fragment, I remember being in a city with different guilds, and I was part of the engineeering guild. I was with a more junior colleague as we walked to a professors house. The city was a bit steampunky with gas lamps and cobble streets/large manor houses with some beautiful, dark green/blue trees.

3:I was in my physics class as we were preparing for the annual physics expo day. I initially was reminiscing about last years (which I swear was a previous dream I have had, or so today's dream has made me think!). The expo last year was a video game one, with statues, memorabilia and examples of games throughout the ages everywhere. I remember there being a statue of galaxy eyes tachyon dragon for some reason, and the finale of the event involved two students competing in some crazy video game competition.
Fast forward to this year, and the teacher outlines his vision and told us what we would be doing to prepare. Budget didn't seem to be an issue for him, as he agreed pretty much to whatever suggestions we had without a second thought. He went around the room counting the number of special computers and hings we had for the event, then told us to get cracking. We started working on preparations, and soon me and a few others started complaining about the way some of our subjects were taught. Some people complained about chemistry, whereas others and I complained about the language we were learning. We had a bit of a good natured grumble and then left, presumably to lunch.

I had a long and loopy NLD, it was entertaining so I thought I would share .
1: I am on the tram with my brother, about to leave for school. We are talking about this fountain of youth or something that had just been discovered. Suddenly, a man with white hair comes aboard, and he started zooming around so fast he comes a blur. What on earth is going on? I think to myself as he dashes around the tram, but I soon realizes in horror that he is taking us prisoner. He stops in front of us suddenly, and says his name is Rabbit. He has tied up most of the people in the tram by now, and he embarks on a long winded monologue about what he is doing and why. He apparently stumbled across the fountain as well and managed to steal a drink from it, but it gave him super human speed and strength, not the 'youth' everyone else thought. He commandeered the tram and drove us towards the school, not stopping at any of the normal stops.
Scene transition, and My brother and I and two friends have managed to sneak off the tram and are trying to find the source of Rabbit's power, the well, to stop him. We walk into a warehouse sort of place, and inside it is similar to n airport security sort of place. We know that Rabbit is likely after us, so we hurry through the security area and I manage to get through a side curtain/door to the warehouse area. The others follow and we find ourselves sneaking through the warehouse, past workers and guards, until we reach a square panel in the floor; the entrance to the fountain. The four corners of the panel have a sort of straw plug in them keeping it down, so my brother and I set to work removing them with Allen keys. I slowly manage to tease out the first corner, and quickly settle two others, but my brother has screwed up his side and I try to take over and salvage it. We get the feeling that Rabbit is on his way, and we need to act as fast as possible. The dream dissolves from there (I don't know if we managed to get the panel open )

I am sure I had some other dream fragments but it has been a while since I woke up an can barely remember them. I think it had something to do with Physics and my dad, some secret of the universe.

I woke up naturally after 3 different rem cycles last night, I don't know how lol. I had a dream where I became semi lucid and dreamt about becoming lucid but alas I can't remember it anymore, doh.
1: I was inside a sort of palace with a soccer team, weird trans-dimensional things were going on, invisible walkways etc. Forgotten most of this one as it was from first rem period.
2: I was in my maths class and doing questions set by a substitute teacher. There were some flirty games going on in the class.
3: I woke up early and decided to play some games instead of falling back asleep. After a while my mum found me ut I excused it away and she went back to sleep. My friend saw I was playing and asked me how come we were both playing the same old retro games without knowing the other one did. After that I was very tired, so I was running late to school. I ended up not getting off at my regular stop but in the city, and wound up trying to get changed there. I then realized that no trains were going back on the same line, so I ran around loking for help. I went to buy mints in a store and asked the shopkeeper for help, and he gave me a philosophy pamphlet he wrote himslf for help. He was an old german man who had fought in world war 2, and seemed just a tad crazy. The dream sorta cycled in on itself here, repeating some stuff again, and I ended up back at the shop again, where he explained his pamphlet and tiraded against a redneck woman. He had a great quote when she abused him, something like "Well I can see that your breasts are no longer that which brought 4 American children to this earth", something like that . The I eventually managed to get a train to school and I promptly woke up.

Even with me being lazy and not really dream journalling I've consistently recalled 1 or 2 dreams practically every night for the past few weeks. I found this dream to be interesting, vivid and quite insightful actually, ripe for interpretation. I know a fair bit of what signifies what, well along with the emotions I felt during the dream.

Dream 1: Fragment, I'm sure I was among a big group of people in some sort of wasteland/fantasy land, leading them perhaps, but not sure.

Dream 2: I was reading a book in my Media class, it was illustrated beautifully depicting a man and two kids fighting a fire in their house. I finished reading the book and our teacher said goodbye to us and started giving back some tests and some cards. I got 4 cards and the the bell rang and school was over. I then walked to my the train station with my brother before I opened up two of the cards. One of them was from a classmate and the other from the teacher, for some reason I didn't open the other two. I went on the train and I saw the student who had given me one of those cards and started talking with her. I saw she had a big sack full of cards and some presents which I inquired a bit about. After we talked a bit she said goodbye for the rest of the year. I was puzzled and asked her why she said that, as school still had one more day left before he holidays, but then she told me it was a public holiday and so today was the last day. I suddenly realized that I hadn't cleared out my locker or anything like that and panicked a bit.
Fast forward to the start on the next year, and I arrived at school trying to find a top locked (I'm 6 foot 5 and sick of bottom lockers ). I tried searching for one but the few which still didn't have locks on had people stuff in them anyway. In fact, I couldn't really find a free locker anywhere. I was looking around for help a bit when I heard an alarm go off and I saw someone I know breaking into a classroom with the key. Their accomplice got taken away and then n I woke up.

My first lucid experience this year! It's tiny but its encouragement that I am on the right path.
Dream 1: Non-Lucid
I was travelling aboard a cruise ship/ferry with a lot of people from my school. It was all going well until some sort of sea monster appeared on the radar and started swamping us with waves. We managed to stay upright after one pass by of the monster, but the second attack flipped us upside down and we began to sink. I managed to swim out the door and up to the surface, just before I ran out of oxygen. Gasping for breath, I saw about a dozen other people who had survived, out of the 50-100 on board. The monster dissapeared after that, presumably down with the ship, so we swam to the shore and set about finding civilization. We came across an ancient roman complex and discovered we were in Italy, and so two of the survivors who could speak Italian started conversing with a woman there and I went off exploring the beautiful villa. I woke up then due to my brother.
Dream 2: Lucid Kinda
I was at school (surprise surprise dreamsign ) and during recess I was in the library trying to find a book. A girl came up and we started talking, And I ended up arranging to meet her after school. I went on to Politics class, which had my brother in it as well which was a bit odd. The lesson flew past with me thinking about what had happened before,almost conscious but not quite. Then the teacher span around and asked my brother, "Do you know what we have talked about for the past 50 minutes!" and he didn't know. She then turned on me and asked the same, and I couldn't reach anything. (I think that actually helped give me some consciousness as it is similar to the reality check of asking yourself how and why you re where you are and what did you do previously) After that the teacher went on to my brother about all these levels of punishment he would be getting, and I sorta tuned out and thought about things more. Bit by bit I became more and more aware until I suddenly thought "This must be a dream", feeling a little foolish because I thought I was just daydreaming/imagining the scene at that time. Lo and behold however when I did that I got a shot of awareness and ding a ling lucidity . Unfortunately I woke up immediately without being able to do anything, I just got tingly all over and started feeling my own body. Ah well, better luck next time!

Sleep Time: 8:45-9:00 PM Awake Times: ~2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM
REM Period 1:
Length: Long Awareness: Minimal Vividness: Medium-High
I was holidaying in America and my family and I were going to see a stage show featuring a Persian man (who was like one of my friends in school IWL ). I was driving a car into the carpark for the theatre and this weird green ute was sorta blocking me. Eventually he pulled over and I was able to pass him and find a park. We all went into the building, walked upstairs and went o find our seats. On the way there however the main performer came out and I had to squeeze past him. His voice and appearance was almost exactly like that friend I mentioned earlier. We found our seats and relaxed to watch the show. I think during the show our tour guide sat down next to us and asked us if we had found squirrel yet. I got a bit frustrated and asked him why we needed squirrels. He said "You need to wear squirrels on your head for at least 4 weeks to make sure there's no lice" and my mum said "You know this, come on". I was still a bit sus but I didn't get any awareness out of it or anything. I vaguely remember going to McDonalds or something like that.
REM Period 2:
Length: Medium Awareness: Minimal Vividness: Medium
The dream started with me at a train station with wet clothes after skydiving of some sort into water earlier (or s my subconscious tells me). I catch the train and my brother is sitting at the other end of the carriage. The train trundles along and eventually ticket inspectors board the train. One comes up to me and I realise that I didn't have my Myki (ticket) on me, it must have fallen out during or after the skydiving. I angrily defended myself trying to explain that "I'd just been skydiving, it must have fallen out" but he explained I could pay a $70 fine now or pay $240 fine later, so I found 70 dollars in my bag and gave it to him. My brother and I then walked back home and I bought a new Myki, this one with a brown colour scheme rather than the normal green one. (Colours in dreams proven lol)

Length: Long Awareness: Minimal Vividness: High
Now this was an awesome dream. I was working as a very junior writer in a DreamViews style newspaper, doing little columns once a week, but I wanted to do more to help the community. So, I started secretly taking questions from the public about lucid dreaming and helping them out for my column. This came to the attention of my superiors, but instead of firing me like I feared they might I actually got promoted to the role of (Moderator equivalent). This way I could so what I had been doing as part of my regular job. I continued this way for a while, steadily improving and helping everyone I could, so I got promoted again to (Moderator Leader equivalent) and then finally up to Dream Guide, my goal position. Here I continue to take all the questions people have and try to help them, while also trying as hard as I can to curry favour with the Dream Guide Leader. I just rememebered this is all taking place on the street outside my house, with desks and chairs and little shelves set up, as well as a giant fish tank set up outside the Dream Guides section.
I eventually feel as if i have done enough to advance position once again and I write an essay sorta thing hoping to convince the leader of my worthiness. He studies it for a long time and then accepts me, giving me some sage advice which I think I have promptly forgotten lol. Over time, after helping people and also judging several other employees whether they were fit to advance, I then work my way up again to Admin/Sub-Admin position. Here I was more so in charge of all the employees, but I still found time to help people. One such middle aged man with a young daughter I helped was almost crying after I helped him, yelling out "Bless you with all the vitamins! A, C, D, F, B12,-" "Don't forget B6!" I added, "Oh yes, and K, and B3, and E, and..." as he slowly walked away.
REM Period 3:
Length: Long Awareness: Weird, but sorta Minimal Vividness: High
This dream started with me and a few other people on a sort of quest, a little bit mario style and little bit prince of persia style(idk), and I was in a desert sorta place. I remember we each had some sort of problem/defect with ourselves as a part of our quest. One of the others, Alex, had this great big brown tusk, about 5 feet long, sprouting from the left side of his mouth. It would apparently disappear over the next 3-4 days, but he was distressed by it. I remember standing at a sort of crossroads in teh desert and watching Alex fight with hsi tusk at a palace/castle in the distance. At this point I think I morphed into Alex's perspective on and off throughout the dream. I remember being at school on the last day and me, Alex, several friends and other random people went into the office after school and were chatting, then saw there was cake. We started eating it before a teacher came out and shooed us all away angrily. At this point Alex was walking home, and my awareness/dream self was following him, and as he got home he complained about how hard his life was with the tusk, and the grief other people caused him about it. A man I couldn't see replied, "If everything in life was easy, nothing would be worth doing". The dream started dissolving here.
