    1. Back-to-back YA dreams (this happened last week, too)

      by , 12-18-2015 at 03:16 PM (Journal #86)
      12-18-15: Everything's been up and down like somewhat of a crazy game of Magic # (a Pricing Game on The Price Is Right with an impressive design that scared the crap out of me when I was younger when it appeared from a fade-in) months after I updated my Dream Journal. Also, I've been busy with other things, including a personal blog during that time.

      Last night, however, left me with some inspiration to write after a heck of a bad day, as most of the stuff (the plot, some characters) in Secret Agent 25, or SA-025, for short (my attempt at a YA novel), are inspired by dreams I have had since the 1992-93 year living in Maryland (when my parents separated in 1991-92 and I was 6 going on 7 at the time) to now.

      Ever since I started on SA-025, I have had a series of strange dreams involving possible characters, and most of those DCs had no spoken lines--even Wednesday (which was uneventful) and last week when it marked the return of the 'office buildings outside my room window' dream, something recurring since 2006-07.

      This time, it was a possible scene from later on in the series of SA-025, where possibly another Agent 25 was talking to someone, and this transpired:
      "Does this mean we'll move to South Florida?" Agent 25 asked.
      "No." A female chaperone said, sternly.

      Later on, Agent 25 and the woman went inside the building, looking like a library, where there was another woman sounding like a strict teacher I had at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High in the 2001-02 year, trying to give words of motivation, and just before the dream ends, there's a teenage girl with what appears to be a Surface tablet and it appears she is logged on to Twitter at a table, similar to a dream I had in the 2014-15 year, having brown eyes and brown hair, but she has no spoken lines as Agent 25 looks over her shoulder like a teacher. She also had a pink case to carry her Surface.

      I have a feeling this may have taken place in Hemet, California, as the villainous Sterling clan's mansion in SA-025 is there, and the dream suggested it gets turned into an underground library. It could also have taken place somewhere in North Carolina, too, where a building for villains may have also been turned into an underground library.

      I also have a tendency to throw DCs into my book as well, so I'll see what happens. Turning the Sterlings' mansion in my attempt at a YA novel into an underground library may not be such a bad idea. I don't mind getting dreams like this, personally.

      (For those who don't understand, YA stands for young-adult fiction. It is a popular genre of books amongst teenagers.)

      #426 - DILD - 8:08AM

      WBTB coffee induced several vivid dreams most of which I forgot. I had very little wakefulness and ended the morning with a DILD.

      I am at my son's birthday party, but as I enter the room, I see I am at my ex-in-law's house. Ex-wife's brother nods and says, "What's up." I reply politely then step outside. I can't be here. I am pissed of that we are doing this here, but rather than make a scene I decide to leave. I decide to make up for my absence by getting my son an extra gift.

      I drive someplace in bad winter wx— which is dumb because his birthday is in the summer. I walk into a store feeling sleet hit my face. I walk around looking at various things. I see a guy that I work with IWL that I really try to avoid at all costs. I skirt around to avoid him and make my way to the front door. One of his twin sons tackle the back of my legs, making me fall. I'm pissed and want to teach the kid a lesson so I pinch his arm. He's cries and runs off to his dad and I make a bee-line to the door. I half expect a confrontation and I keep thinking what I will say. "You wanna throw down? Knuckle up bitch!" I'd never say that IWL.

      No one comes after me and when I step outside, I remember that I am sleeping in bed and become lucid. I immediately think that I should really start having clear goals lined up because I have no idea what to do now. I see my car parked in front of me with small amounts of ice and sleet accumulated on it. The Dodge Journey looks more like a Charger now, but I ignore this as dream inconsistencies. I recall the mirror TOTM and try to make one of the windows a mirror. I say some nonsense incantation and wave my arms, but nothing happens. I see some sort of white sheet in the back seat and think it would be fun to use that as a focal point as I phase through the glass feet first. I jump in smoothly, but when I look up from the sheets, I feel vertigo and the dream blacks out. I stabilize by feeling the sides of the fronts seats with both hands. It's a sensation like wet hands on leather. There's a low squeaking sound to accommodate. I almost catch a vision of the seats, but it quickly morphs into my laptop keyboard. I go with the flow and start typing. I look up at the screen and see "www.microsoft.com.comcomcomcom" in the browser's nav bar. I hit enter and a cheesy fireplace screensaver pops up. Then the flame engulfs the entire screen and I laugh at the irony, "Hahahaha! That's really funny." I have a tendency to really dislike Microsoft products though I am usually forced to use them. This totally goes with the theme of this dream. The dream quickly fades and I wake up.

      Blimp NLD - Time?

      I am riding in the car with my mother down a highway that cuts thought a dense forested area. A large whale shaped blimp lands in the road ahead of us. I take a snapchat and fire shoots out the back of it and it flies away. I want to redo the snapchat because I didn't get a good shot. We pass under and I take a video out the back window. I am laughing at the crazy blimp, but my laughter turns to cries of dismay as the blimp explodes. I am sad at the lives lost. I am amazed that I got that on video, but my snapchat only plays back a selfie video of my reaction and not of the blimp.
    3. My father, the maniac

      by , 01-30-2013 at 07:49 PM (Exterminate)
      I remember a small fragment of Mckenna at the sound booth of our church, playing on the computers and treating the booth as her room. I remember her saying she had free internet access.

      I have no idea if that previous dream had anything to do with the main one, but I thought I'd mention it.

      The characters involved in this dream:
      My dream dad, who looked nothing like my dad irl. He was in his 30s
      My dad's accomplice, who seemed to have ill intentions. He looked like he was about 27
      Me, who was not me, but the son of the father in this dream. I was about 14 in this dream
      My friend, blond haired, never seen him irl. I am assuming he was about the same age as I.

      So dad picks me and my friend up from school, and asks us if we want to go watch him do his job with him. We enjoy the opportunity, and join him. My friend and I get in the back seat of this kind of car. Dad and his friend get in the front, with dad driving. I am not listening too much to the two in front, I am just enjoying the ride. The guy in the passenger seat mutters something about "You may want to take a turn here, there are 17 Microsoft buildings around here." Dad goes across the road, and then zooms off road, just barely avoiding running into some buildings. We end up going airborne a few times as dad races across town for reasons unknown. At one point we end up in a helicopter and fly across town. We end up on the other side of town but crash into a fence at the top of a hill. Down at the bottom of the hill is a small lake, enough to be noticeable. The area looks mostly desert-y, and it appears the place we need to be is on the other side of the lake. Even though we crashed, it didn't seem to damage the helicopter. I say as a sarcastic remark to dad "I think we hit the world border." The reason I said this of course is because we just raced across town for no reason, then carelessly crashed into a fence. I did not know quite what was going on. Dad pilots the helicopter over the lake, and to the other side, then says we need to get out. He turns the helicopter sideways so it'd be easier to get out. First comes dad's friend, then my friend, then me. We get out of the helicopter and land softly in the water below. Dad turns off the helicopter as he jumps out. The helicopter falls into the water as we make a break for it. We end up at the building, and dad and his friend start talking too quietly for me to overhear. The dream ends with me wondering what I'd just been through.

      Papa and I sit and compare how different the new and old Windows operating systems are. He shows me the position of the old delete key compared to the new one. He seems very amused by this.

      Fairly simple dream. I was online with all of my friends playing some odd game. It was like a virtual reality but the only way to talk was to type what you were going to say. After doing so, the words would come out as a Microsoft Sam type of voice.
      Really... that was it...
      Maybe there was more, but I don't remember it.
      Curse you bad recall!!!!
