non-lucid

Time: 2:30 pm.

This isn't a dream post in the regular sense, this is more of food for thought. Different (not new) ideas about dreaming. I mention God, and soul, but there isn't a specific religion, and this isn't me preaching. I don't mean to offend anyone, or take anyone's enjoyment out of Lucid dreaming, if you don't agree, that is perfectly fine, but this post is more for the thinkers on the sight. Also I don't take on sides of Astral Projecting/OBEing/Lucid dreaming. Instead I think of them more of experiences than any kind of category. I will post a link to a new thread, so please do not comment here. Comment on the actual post. Thanks, and enjoy!

What if lucid dreaming was more than dreaming while being conscious What if it was a gateway to another world? Think about it, all of the dream characters some of them you have never seen before, what if they were actual beings? Sure some of them are just DCs representing you, but what if there were others that weren't? Today I took an hour long nap, a successful wild! After several failed attempts at realizing FAs, I finally started to think, I ended getting out of my bed at my place of work. From there the rest were LDs. This isn't going to be a post about my specific LDs (coming shortly), they are about my ideas that I ended up with during the dream.

I want to make a few notes about what I have discovered in the dream world today. First DCs are representations of yourself. What ever your thinking, that DC will be saying. I noticed several times when I was thinking or talking to myself, a nearby DC was repeating it, at first I didn't think anything of it, since it always happened, but now I paid attention to what I was thinking, and who was talking. The exact same thing. Now this idea goes further with, whatever your doing (just not controlling the dream world, instead just letting it happen) will be done to you. I noticed a DC eating something, but for some odd reason my mouth felt like it was full of food and I couldn't do anything. I didn't put two and two together until today as I have had that happen several times. Other properties about yourself can be manipulated by a DC along with the DC can manipulate yourself. You almost trick yourself out when in a dreamworld. Once I understood this, then I could control anything I wanted. I could fly at will (no arm flailing), summon tornadoes, breathe underwater, run super fast, read minds (my own haha), shoot energy blasts, and tons of others when the other night all I could do was explore. Flying was the best one I got the hang of it, no more butterflies, just the excitement to be able to fly! I used to walk my dog at night, and looked up into the sky and said I wish cool nights like this were in my dreams, and that I could fly! Today it happened! More to what I accomplished in the actual dream journal entry!

Have you ever heard a radio in your dreams? For me I never noticed until now, but there were always some kind of background noise somewhere. Once I started listening to it I found the source. It sounded like rapid clips of commercials, shows, and songs put together, and having it play super fast. Kind of sounds like channel surfing. You have the white noise, and occasionally you'll come across a channel that works and hear it for a second until you switch it. Now imagine there are hidden messages within it. It seems like your being is being contacted (no pun intended) by another being through this. I listened closely at it. First I thought it was just everything I heard today being played at a super fast rate, that my subconscious was playing it out. Then I thought it was all of my thoughts playing at a super alarming rate, since my dream is within my head, people can speak as fast as they think! there are no physical limits.

Then I heard the word God a couple of times and sat down next to it and listened. It brought up all of my concerns about dieing. It even said I had till Halloween night, or right around it until I was going to die. Then an announcer came on the speaker phone of were I was at and asked if there was some body named something was there, I couldn't remember the name. And the radio laughed and said never mind. They said that i was afraid of being just short of making it into purgatory and that I was afraid I would end up in hell. That was correct, that is what I am afraid of, not death itself. They said something about cleaning up my act, and that I would make it to heaven eventually, I just have to make peace with God. Then I tried asking a question but the radio shut off. It turned back on after a couple of minutes and said that what I was experiencing was part of the afterlife, since we have a soul we are able to just barely connect with other souls. But there are still DCs that were just DCs made up by my mind.

Then I met two people who escorted me around my dream, I asked questions about this afterlife thought, and said it was true. I just thought back to when somebody on here said DCs tend to try and trick you into believing your not dreaming. So I denied it for a couple of seconds until I thought of something. I asked well aren't you two apart of my dream, so I can control you, and I attempted to control them and their actions, but I couldn't. I could do it on everything else, but couldn't on them. So I began to wonder about it. They said we were able to control what we called a "dream" by physical manipulation of the environment. Since there were no laws of physics, I could fly, but it was me flying, it was the environment bending to what I wanted. Objects can appear, because the environment put them there, not us. That is why we have to turn around think of something, then turn back around and it is there. Then shortly after all of these thoughts I woke up, but with brand new ideas of what the meaning of our dreams, and why we have them.

Getting back on track now...

Awake Non-Lucid Semi-Lucid

I'm in my school main hall, and the rest of my year is here, along with a few others I don't recognise... Wait, but I do! It's Draco Malfoy out of Harry Potter! (Guess what I watched the other night). He looks really sad, and torn up. I can't help but feel a little sympathetic for him.

Rows of chairs are set up on each side of the hall, facing inwards. There's a gap in the middle. Each person is given their on broomstick. I get on mine, and find that I'm a natural. This is awesome! I zoom around the hall and then fly back down to my seat. This is a test, two people will be chosen to follow certain instructions that will take them to a great treasure, apparently. One of the professors shout my name and I know I've been chosen. Draco is on his broom, trying to get noticed, but another girl is chosen instead.

She comes up to me, and I recognize her as Shannon (I don't actually know this girl in real life). She glares at me, she's in Slytherin and I'm in Griffindor. Perfect match... not. She's the same height as me, with strawberry blonde hair,pale skin and large grey eyes. She turns and leaves.

[Dream skip - The next hour] We've to start following the instructions immedietly. I don't know where I got them from, but they're in my mind like a list. First, we've to get to the room that can take us to the old hotel. I find Shannon in the quad and we head off to find it. We politely talk to each other, and agree that our houses shouldn't hold us back. Doesn't mean we trust eachother though, she's a little cold with me.

[Dream skip - Unknown] I'm in the building that can take us to the hotel. Why? I don't know. We should have just gone straight to the hotel, although maybe they wouldn't have let us in.

The room we're in is large and airy. There's a large circular table in the middle, with a man lying on it with an electric guitar. Suddenly I'm back in the quad. What? I can't be here! I focus my mind and then I'm back in the other room.

"Where the hell did she go? We need her!" Shannon is shouting to the man on the table. He wipes a tear away from his cheek and says that I'm gone for good. But I'm right here! It dawns on me that I'm invisible. Is this a test? I climb up onto the table and start playing the guitar. I only know a few chords, but it's enough to let them know I'm here. Suddenly they can see me. The man leads us to another room and tells us we can get to the hotel from here. I think he's gone mad, but he leaves and shuts the door tightly behind him.

"How are we going to get to the hotel from here??" I moan. We're in some sort of laundry room. There are piles of dirty clothes everywhere, and it's small and cramped. There's a large window though, and Shannon heads over to peer through it.

"We jump." She says, and then throws herself out of the window.

I stand completely still for a moment, eyes wide, and then run to the wind and lean out. Somehow the roof of the hotel is no longer there, and I'm staring down into a pool room. There's a splash, and I know Shannon landed in the pool. But it's so far away! I hold out my finger to the pool and can't see it anymore.

You can do anything in dreams. This thought runs through my head. Yeah ok, but that's dreams we're talking about. It does make me semi-lucid though. How am I supposed to land in that goddamn pool? I don't think about it anymore, and just jump. I flail for a few seconds, and the wind catches me. I manage to steer myself towards the pool. It stings slightly when I hit it, but other than that I'm fine.

I come up gasping for air. It was cool but scary at the same time. We stare at eachother for a moment, and then burst out laughing. We swim over to eachother and give eachother a hug, laughing hysterically. We have a small water fight, and I realise we're going to be great friends. Climbing out the pool, my t-shirt and jeans clinging to me, I take a look around. Part of the instructions says there's going to be a pool party. I guess that's here. The place is deserted though... It's dimly lit, and rather grey.

An Italian waiter comes in with a trolley. We freeze for a moment, because we're trespassing. But he's friendly. We ask if there's any parties going on, and he points us in the right direction. We go through a door and into a corridor. It's warm and plush looking. With a thick red carpet and wooden panelled walls. A lot nicer than that pool room. We cautiously walk through it, and soon people are everywhere. I thought the party was supposed to be in another room?

Shannon stops a guy and asks about the party. He says that one's just finished, and people are either going to Starucks or the pool. We head back to the pool.

Music's blaring and people are having a good time. I've dried off so I don't want to jump in again, Shannon agrees with me. Instead we stop someone serving food and ask about the treasure. She hands us a slice of pizza instead, with a straw stuck in it. What are we supposed to do, suck it up the straw? No thanks... I put it back down. My head feels fuzzy. Shannon notices and looks concerned.

I'm in a small cramped blue room. A bed faces the door, with a couple of children in it. They look scared to death, shivering and staring at the door, quilt up to their noses. They obviously can't see me. This feels strange, I know it hasn't happened yet and that i'm just getting glimpses. The door opens and a girl walks in. It's me! But I look different. My hair is y natural brown, I'm more tanned and my eyes are hazel. I have a green thorn tiara on. The other me slowly walks to the end of the bed.

"What did the fairy god mother tell you about magic?" She asks gently. The children gulp and one of them speaks up.

"That not all magic is good magic." She says, shuddering.

"That's right." The green tiara turns into bull horns, and her eyes go bright red. She smiles and her teeth are sharp and pointed. My eyes widen.

Then I'm back in the pool room, in the middle of a party, with Shannon shaking me roughly. "Let's go get a frappacino." I mutter. We head to Starbucks.

Unfortunatly a guy outside says he got the last chocolate cream. He sips on it, and winks. My day just gets better and better... Not. I go to the library, Shannon doesn't come with me.

I recognize some people from my class here too. I pick up books and put them down again. I come ups beside Josh and realise he's singing. I listen and then smile, it's my favourite song. I sing along with him. Shannon appears and hands me a book. It's a book about us and our quest to find the treasure. Well, the only thing we got was a slice of pizza each. Meh.

A wall starts coming down from the cieling. Josh goes to one side of it and I go to the other. I tell him to come to this side but he doesn't. The walls close in around me. They're blue.

I'm back in the room with the kids. Shit, any minute the other me is gonna turn up and spoil everything. I grab one of the sheets from the bed and turn it inside out, then try and block the door off. I hear sounds outside. Looking to the other wall, I realize the other me is going to blast her way through the wall. Too bad kids, I'm out of here...

Good morning everybody. I remember one dream from last night. It feels a little fragmented.

I was at my great-grandmother's house. The house was lit by grey daylight coming through the windows. My great-grandma was either close to dying or else she had just died (although in waking life she died about a year ago). A lot of the family was at her house.

I had been wearing a red flannel jacket, which reminded me of a red flannel jacket my great-grandma wore. But I had taken it off.

Some people, probably including my mom and sister, had started doing the laundry. They might have started doing everybody's laundry, because we had been at my great-grandma's house for so long.

Now my sister had a red flannel jacket. She was looking all over the house for it, but she couldn't find it. Some other family members, probably including me, were trying to help her find the jacket. My sister was probably also blaming other people in the house for having taken the jacket. They knew how much it meant to her, because it either was or was like the jacket my great-grandma always wore.

At some point, I was laying on my stomach on the floor in the living room. Before me, just to the left (my left) of the TV, was a laundry basket full of clothes. The basket was full of all kinds of random clothes, including either a bride's gown or a bridesmaid's gown. I could tell the clothes were still dirty. It was like my mom and sister had planned to do laundry but then just left the job.

I could see a red flannel jacket or sweater at the bottom of the basket, under all the dirty clothes. I knew it was mine. At last I'd found it! So I took it and put it on.

I was now walking through a store that feels now to me like a mix between a grocery store and the perfume department at Macy's. It may have been night. There were other people in the store.

I walked around in the red flannel jacket. I wondered if it was good to wear a jacket that had been sitting at the bottom of a basket of dirty clothes, some of which had been quite smelly.

I reached my hand into one of the pockets. I pulled out an eyeglass lens, probably for the right eye. The lens was big, for really big, old eyeglass frames. I knew it was a lens for one of my great-grandmother's eyeglass frames.

I now remembered, as if it had happened in some earlier part of the dream, how one of the lenses had popped out of my great-grandma's glasses, and how my sister had been panicked looking for the lens.

As I walked through the grocery store I thought how it was only natural that the lens would end up in the jacket pocket. After all, the lens must have popped off near the jacket. Then the jacket had been buried in the laundry basket where nobody could find it.

Figured I might as well write it down. I don't remember much, just that there was a cardboard box, I was filling with other cardboard boxes, not whole boxes though, like sides of boxes. The Cardboard ox I filled was labeled "Mr. Nobody"on the count of me hearing about that movie the day before. I also remember thinking I might change the label on the box, and there was something about a door knob I believe.

I also had another on the count of something during the day. I watched an episode of Cheer in which Diane claimed that she didn't know much about pool, and Simon Says was her game. In my dream it was very apparent that the creators of the show (I believe. Perhaps Diane as well/or) were very big fans of the game Simon Says.

First dream was like I was in the cartoon South Park and it was all a cartoon and I was a character in the show. My new profile picture I made yesterday is probably the reason for that lol it was funny how a profile picture from a site about dreams influenced my dreams. I don't remember the details of the kind of episode I created for South Park in my dream but I know it was weird and funny because of how I felt when I woke up thinking about it.


Second dream was me and a made up brother I had both were sort of collectors who go to auctions and sell and buy rare things and I had a cool small pet snake I could wrap around my fingers . Well this brother decided he will sell my knife collection (I actually have that so I was very emotional about it) and left for the auction before I did. I crashed the auction by smashing the crates until I found out which one was mine and yelled to the crowd that it was my collection and this brother was lying. The police were then shooting at me not believing what I said and thinking I was a robber because I was dressed like a spy . I ran into the thick woods across the street and hid while watching them surround me and could not believe they had police already in the woods (impossible eh?). I ran and found a sewer culvert and hid in that and followed it until I was in the main sewer line and I remember finally finding my brother away from the cops and convincing him to tell everyone that I was telling the truth. But the funniest thing about it was how he said to everyone that he learned an important lesson and while he said that a piano was playing in the background of my dream just like on South Park. I woke up after that because it is just natural for me because that is a sign that the episode is over on South Park. I woke up knowing I had a cool action packed comedy dream that night. Good Feeling.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Escape Underground (Non-lucid)

My sister says something about my sleeping habits.

- I think around this time, there's a view of my dark room.

Mad, I run away and into a dark underground place. I think mom yells after me, maybe I'm even chased after.

- Me and my sister find a store there. I see a baby shirt, one with a Dragon Ball Z design on it. I find a bigger one, though still a bit too small. Me and her find similar shirts (different colors) and we hold them side by side, but I don't think she would agree that they were the same.

- I've picked up this big glass design and am trying to align the bottom part with the stand it was on. I'm being careful, but I still end up dropping it. It's so fragile that it shatters. The person who was watching me heads towards me.

- I see a security guard by the door has been knocked out. He was trying to help me? He has glass on him, I notice as I head over and pick him up from under the arms to take with me. I enter a new underground place. It's dark, and I don't know my way, but then suddenly I do - a voice in my head? There's a way you can go around and miss anyone coming in. I circle around the people who are after me.

- Earlier: In the store, a boy was sitting at a table playing this game. As he played, he explained to me that you knock down mini trees using a stick(?) by finding their weak spots, which were brown patches. At first he didn't do very well, but got better as he went along. His dad, sitting across from him, nodded. The boy joked about something - his dad knocking big trees over with an axe or something.

- Earlier in store: I was worried about money - I only had a few dollars. I offered to get my sister's money when I got mine, but she refused. We weren't getting along in this dream.

- Jump: At this airport-like place I'm ready to get away, but I pass my sister who's coming up the stairs. She's wearing a purple shirt. I look away to the side as we pass. The scene repeats and we're both putting up our hair as we pass (me to try and change my looks; my hair was down and I was going to braid it).

She sees me, asks "Think you can get away?". I immediately leap into action by jumping off the platform onto the one below. About here is where I feel deja vu for this place (I think I know which dream it came from). I leap onto the next platform below. This scene reminds me of the scene on the Narada in Star Trek 2009 where Kirk jumps platforms; I did rewatch the movie that night. Also had a Star Trek dream before this one.

I'm worried about getting away, because now that she's seen me, she must have sent someone after me.

In the hotel? (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hi guys!!

I had recall every single night, but I do not have time for anything... However, I am going to try again to report my dreams daily (they are all on paper) I completed the lucid task for November (it is posted already on the Lucid Club) plus other lucid and a regular.

Second:

- I went back to bed and told to myself I needed to complete the task of the month that has been posted.

I entered into an elevator and I randomly did a RC, however, it did not fail. I was with my wife and we went to a hotel. We forgot something so we went back to the elevator. There was a second elevator behind me that was stuck. My wife was scared but I told her that the elevator worked fine. We entered the elevator and I did another RC like I would do in waking. I had eight fingers and turned lucid. The elevator started to malfunction as usual. I tried to fly away from the elevator to make my dream stable. I jumped a couple of times but I could not take flight. My control was horrible, flying is something I do almost without thinking. I jumped higher and broke free the elevator and started to fly. I left the building and my dream started to vanish. I told my self I needed to L-DEILD in order to fall into a better lucid dream. I told myself to not move nor open my eyes and my dream vanished.

Missed dream signs:
- First Elevator.

Spotted dream signs:
- Elevator.

Reality check performed:
- Hand Check. Failed, turned lucid.

Portal to my parents (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hi guys!!

I had recall every single night, but I do not have time for anything... However, I am going to try again to report my dreams daily (they are all on paper) I completed the lucid task for November (it is posted already on the Lucid Club) plus other lucid and a regular.

I was watching TV with my wife when suddenly my dog appeared. I was surprised about how my dog came to my home, as my dog is in Spain, Europe and I am in San Diego, CA, United States. I was glad and surprised he did not get mad for my cats. I was sure due his very old age he could not even sense my cats. Suddenly, I saw my brother and I was wondering what was going on.

My brother told me he came through a portal in my closed. I went to my master bedroom. It was different than my regular one. There was a portal which I took and teleported me to my mom's house. It was night there in Spain and I felt so happy about it. I was happy as I could travel instantaniously to Spain and meet my parents when I wanted.

I saw my partents and we were very excited.

Missing info....

My parents came through the portal and we met at home. I drove them to a ball game. It was snowed everywhere and I could not find a spot to park. I parked in front of the entrance of the stadion and walked to the station to ask for parking. When I came back, my car was gone. I walked around the parking lot and I could not find it. This stadium had its own tow pond. The car claim cost was $60 per day, so I was happy it was not that much. I asked if they had my car. I shared with them my personal information. The employee who was working there was from Spain as well.

Missed dream signs:
- The portal.
- Snow in San Diego.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Astral Project.

Four from the night and two from an afternoon snooze.

fragment
1103: D. Traveling as a drug mule. With daughter of the drug boss. It's actress Kristen Bell, as I recognize her from Deadwood.

Cooking Emergency at Work
1233: C. Emergency at work and Myra has to cook something quickly. Something with noodles in it. She will miss her wedding party because of it. Everyone feels bad for her but she's so self-sacrificing. Then I'm in the back seat of a car. Joe R is driving with Myra in the passenger seat and Lance also with me in the back. Joe is dropping Myra off while he is going to the airport. He's talking about how airports around the world are all the same because they all have the same familiar noises. I think he's going to Japan.

The Ig Fish
1317: B. At a Japanese restaurant. Want to order a simple fish dish, salmon I think. The waitress is a middle-aged Japanese woman. She doesn't hear me right. She thinks I order a really rare and poisonous fish called Ig. I point to what I want on the menu. She asks "are you sure?" a few times. She finally accepts it.

Skip to several minutes later. A Fedex package has arrived at the restaurant with the fish I ordered. The waitress shows me the package and says "Look, we had this very rare Ig fish delivered for you!" There are two fish in the package, each wrapped in plastic. This isn't what I wanted but since it was so much trouble I might as well go with it. I hand it back to the waitress with my approval. She sends to it kitchen to be prepared.

I see a young woman at the next table eating the same Ig fish dish. The fish is colored with dark red and blue strips. It has many feather-like fins all over it like a coral lionfish. It's propped up on thick fins underneath, almost like feet. The woman says something about how she can't eat all of it and she likes to cut it a certain way.

F. I recalled this while writing down the previous dream. Something about making tools for, Google, and Chrome.

Database Cleanup
1811: C. In a house with my mother and two people from high school, Chris and Brian. We work from Frank? He arranged a promotion deal with a satellite TV company. Chris inserts some data in our database but he did it wrong. He's leaving for somewhere so it's left to me to fix it. Brian is trying to explain the situation but he isn't technical enough. I need to actual list of accounts that need to be removed from the database. I look for my mother, hoping she knows where that information is. She is asleep on a couch the kitchen. The kitchen is a bit like the SAV house. The room is mostly dark and there is a very noisy fan on. I wake her up and apologize for doing so. I ask her if she knows which accounts need to be deleted. I turn to Brian and he's dressed like a Boy Scout. He's about to leave for a meeting.

fragment
D. Feels like a documentary about the wild west. Reminded of Deadwood and Red Red Redemption. Something about the development of the Bowie knife. Hunting wild rabbits near a road out in the desert wilderness.

The injured chick (NLD)
I was at a school, and some of the cast members from the play I was just in were my classmates. I found a baby chick in the hall, and picked it up. I wanted to make sure I could put him somewhere where he wouldn't get trampled. I can't remember where that was, it may've been on a ledge or something. I remember going to class, but not much about that.

I came back to the chick, and he was wearing a splint, now. I decided it was time to release him back outside. As I was holding him, he was doing his best to escape. I ended up cupping my hands right around him until I got right outside. I held my hand out, and the little chick blinked and looked around, but didn't move. "Go on," I encouraged him. But still, he just happily sat on my outstretched hand.

I was then approached by a beautiful white fluffy duck. I held the baby chick out to her, and she took him in her beak. But before she left, she was really a white fluffy shih-tzu. I then recall overhearing some gossip that a dog ate a baby chick for lunch, and I thought, "No, no, no... that was a duck! I did not just hand over a baby chick to be ate by a dog!" and the dream ended.

Topless fragment (aggravatingly NLD)
I'm sitting in a coffee shop and realize I'm shirtless. "This happens in dreams a lot to me, but for some reason I did this in real life. Why am I walking around without my shirt on?" I thought. I'm so embarrassed by this. I leaned into the table so no one could see me.

Mike came in and sat down across from me. "What the hell are you doing?" he asked.

"Shield me so I can get my shirt back on," I responded. I did my best to wiggle into my shirt without revealing anything. Success. Dream end.

Farm fragment (NLD)
There's a farm full of different types of animals. I see my baby chick is around, with his mother duck. Yay!

But, what catches my attention in this dream, is this... dog? He looks odd. Kinda cute. Like a pug, but... not... in some way. "What kind of dog are you?" I asked him.

"I'm a pitbull," the dog says.

"You are not," I say.

Sailormoon fragment (NLD)
At a school again. In a basement area of some sort? Mamoru is down there, and the senshi and I (untransformed) find him. He says something about being attacked, and wanting to fight them. I told him we will take care of it. To calm him down, I held him in my arms and whispered-sang a japanese song to him.

It wasn't this song, but it was a lot like it...


Forest path fragment (NLD)
I was in a natural park-type area. There were certain animals that were "zoned," if you will. And for some reason, I was moving ones from one area and putting them into this other. I ran back and forth between the two areas a few times. On my last trip, I noticed some animals grouped up, staring at this one... at first I thought it was a wolf, but then realized it was a coyote. The coyote looked like he was ready to jump me. Dream ended before anything happened.

I don't know if it's me going to bed earlier or what, but my recall has been uber high. Still want to get it a little better - I don't want just long and many dreams, I want to remember more details.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

10.27.2010

Two Sides (Non-lucid)

Anime-style. There's a girl who has two sides. In teal-haired mode she can summon her minions. A boy (brown hair) is friends with the light pink-haired side of her.

The teal half wants the boy's soul or something and sends her minions after him. At one point he's hiding in a closet clutching the door shut as hard as possible.

- At one point he(?) is in a dark place like a chamber, blindly searching for pink girl. His hand touched a little lock on a grate on the floor.

Mmm, Donuts (Non-lucid)

I was in class. I stacked some books on my desk and put them under the chair. They were heavy and it hurt my hands, but I made sure not to show anything. An angel walked around the room and stopped at me. She came up close, clutched my fists in hers and said a special message to me - general uplifting things, and she healed my hands. It did seem to make the pain almost disappear.

Dad was at the front of the class ahead of me (I think I was on the second row to the right, three or four desks down). I believe some kids were talking about roleplaying games, and dad started talking about Nascar and the gestures to indicate driving. I followed him out of the room and glomped him. I told about him about the angel.

He ended up dragging me to the doctor's office in the school(?). We were sitting on a window-seat type area, me kind of hidden behind him. The doctor came in and dad made a joke about me, something about being dead that was supposed to mean that I was invisible. He asked if it was okay for me to be there. The doctor asked him to strip down, and he did, down to his gray boxers which he owns in real life.

Suddenly there's a kitchen area in front of us and people are making donuts in a big deep friar. She sees me eying them and gives me a tiny piece, saying that she 'can share her donuts'. As she gives me a bigger piece, dad leans over to the side and snags his own. The donuts are like glazed ones, but with chocolate on top.

- Jacob was sitting beside me in class.
- My hands began hurting again soon.
- When Dad was talking about Nascar, I turned to Jacob and said 'that's my dad', but he didn't seem impressed.

Nothing? Can't remember. No notes.

Walms fragment (NLD)
I'm an observer in this dream. Walms is driving a car with other people in it. They stop somewhere to camp, but the others are being rowdy and noisy. Walms is upset because he can't sleep.

Hair fragment (NLD)
I have short blue hair like Sailor Mercury's.


Raccoon fragment (NLD)
I have a pet raccoon. May have been somewhat lucid in this fragment, as I recall wondering where this raccoon came from (my city doesn't have many... in fact, I've never seen one here, and I live way out in the suburbs). The raccoon is quite well trained. Like a dog. Even scratches on the door to be let out so he can do his business.

English Vacation (NLD)
The dream starts out at a bus terminal. I'm with Jack and his parents. We chatter there for a bit until the bus comes. It has the same logos as my city's transit, which confuses me, a little.

The bus takes us to Southport (fun fact: since I don't know UK geography very well... I actually thought Southport was... well, southern. I didn't realize it was close to Blackpool. This is actually somewhat relevant... read on). It drops us off at this swimming pool. I don't recall much here, other than being in the deep end and trying to use this red ball to float. I see Jack's brother there too. I also have the strong urge to text Julia, figuring that Southport and London aren't too far from each other (ha!)... I want us to meet up. I remind myself to text her once we're done with the pool.

Jack and I spy a hot tub off to the side. On the way, I see this little girl eyeballing my red ball. I asked her, "Did you want to play with this?"

"Yeah!" she says, excitedly.

"Here you go," I said, and handed it to her. I thought to myself, "This is weird for me... now I'm the one with the accent..."

We get to the hot tub, but it's kind of weird... there isn't much to it, other than to dip your feet into, but there are also two jellyfish in there! One of them pokes his head above water, looking like


I got my feet out of the water, and the jelly fish floated towards me. It landed on me, and I held it by it's tentacle-thingies. I felt shooting pain in my arms (like the same pain you get from an electric shock), and attempted to throw it back into the water. The grabby tentacles stopped it from going very far, though, and it came back for round 2. I woke up.

October 27, 2010

I have a goal to try and complete the advanced challenge in the next couple of days, so I tried to focus on a goal of chatting with a ghost in a Victorian house (this house is a reoccuring location in my dreams, and it IS haunted. One of my dream guides used to take me there all the time).

An Extremely Riveting dream... (NLD)
Jack had to get to his mum's to help her with something, but he said he could be there whenever. I decided to plan around this, and meet my mum for chats, too. However, as the dream gets on, it's coming up to 4pm, which is kind of a let-down, because my mum won't hang out that late (for reals, she's obsessed with Warcraft raiding :bored: ).

During this time span, there was some kind of work related thing in there, but I can't really remember it. I do recall seeing Rachael, and I had a slight lucid moment where I thought, "At least I got her right, this time." (Hearkening back to a dream from a few nights ago where she appeared, but her DC didn't resemble her at all, so I had to rack my sleeping brain for what she really looks like, and change her).

At some point, I went down to a basement. It was completely bare, except for some hanging lightbulbs. I pulled each cord. Some worked and some didn't. I wanted them all to work, because if it was dark at all, then I might encounter some ghosts, which I didn't want (apparently). :sad1:

I also recall squeezing around this intentionally too narrow play apparatus of some sort.

Third Dream Journal Entry: Thursday, October 28th, 2010

• In my opinion, this dream was probably the most boring dream I have ever had.

• I woke up very frustrated because I remember that there was so much more to my dream but I could not remember a damn thing.

I can't remember much of my dream but I tried writing down as much as I could. I was in a car with my friends Chris and Alex. Chris was driving us to the mall. On the way there we were talking about our friend Jessica and we were trying to figure out which route she takes to get to the mall. I do not know why we were talking about that but we were. I was sitting in the back seat of his car and Alex was sitting on the passenger seat. We then laughed about how stupid she is for taking the longest and dumbest route ever. We finally get to the mall where Chris drops us of. He then says, "I am not going with you guys to the mall because I am going to go see my girlfriend, Nina!" (ex-girlfriend in real life). We both say "ok" and started heading towards the door. As we are walking I notice that it was not a main entrance to the mall. It seemed more like a back entrance. I could see stairs at the door but I could not see what was at the top. We walk through the door.

I'm no longer at the mall and I am now with my friend Dariel. We are also in a car. Dariel is driving me home (he does not have a license or a car in real life). At one point I decided to look out my window. I saw a girl walking our of her house. I noticed that it was a girl that goes to my school. Her name is Unique. I am not really close with her but I have known her for a while. We continued driving and I wake up.
