    1. Waterslide River Run

      by , 09-19-2018 at 07:11 PM (Bridger's Oneironautic Expeditions)
      I'm spending the entire dream trying to find something. I'm picked up in a limo with a bunch of rich characters going to some cool waterpark right by the sea. As we drive up to it, I see that the slides start high above the sea on a pier looking structure, and dump you right into the ocean. Everyone in the limo wants to go, so we all get out and head over to get tickets. Surprisingly, one girl says she's got this and approaches the ticket guy saying that she doesn't have enough money and hands him a fourth of the money needed to cover everyone. I say I can pitch in as well, but the guy accepts it as it is and starts handing out the tickets. The ticket is in the shape of a pamphlet and opening it shows that there are 3 different slides, each one varying in intensity. I start to walk to the slides, but realize I have to walk through a club with a ton of people. As I try to maneuver through the crowd, I get handed items, including a necklace of some kind. The club is narrow and facing diagonally from the orientation that I thought it would. Someone comes up to me and asks where I got the necklace from, and I tell them I don't know. They take it away from me and I go to try and find people I know. Later, I'm watching something about a river flowing down through some mountains with snow banks on either side. People are tubing down the river while a skier dude is skiing down the bank of snow. He eventually jumps off a ledge and into the water. I am suddenly there in a tube going along for the ride. Around a tight bend, I fall out of the tube and try to get back on. I swim as fast as I can, but can't seem to catch up to it. Instead, I get trapped under some rocks in a small air pocket struggling to get out. I'm not panicked, but just want to get away from this area. I take a deep breath and dive underwater. I emerge in a city falling from the sky, but I can use my left hand to shoot a grapple onto buildings to swing from, like Spiderman. I get myself under control and swing between a few more buildings before setting myself down softly on the ground.

      Just got up, went into our computer room, kept the curtains closed and started my computer and wrote this. Two non-lucid dream sequences, mostly fragmented:



      First sequence:

      In the first dream I was in a "room" that was like a garden, it was a room in the sense that it was some sort of partition; I remember something like greek pillars covered in vines and grassy ground. In this room, there was "me", my partner from waking life, a friend of ours and a slim man in a suit; the three of us approached the man, as he was here to show us something and as we did or perhaps he was already doing it, he was levitating this large latticed purple orb, made of stone or gemstone, between his two hands, one hand above, one hand below; the orb floated up and down gently.

      I can't tell if it was day or night but everything looked somewhat "dark".

      At first my partner (who isn't really into any stuff like this) put his hand out toward the orb and closed his eyes and was silent; then our friend did and then I did. I could sense no special energy from the orb or the man: the orb was ordinary, regardless of any surreal properties. I stopped and walked away toward a door under a lowered roof, then I think our friend did too and I opened the door and there were two more doors to either side of a tiny partition and I opened another and went into a large room, like a conference room; there were a dozen men and women at the conference table, and they were waiting for us. I remember one of them asking what were we waiting for, why hadn't we all come in? Or something to this effect. I explained we wouldn't be a minute and I peeked out to see my partner still holding his hand at the orb and called him and he opened his eyes and walked away from the mysterious man, and the conference members were not keen on letting this man in.

      I remember my partner said that the orb felt like it had the energy of the universe or some such; which I interpreted as: it feels the exact same as any ordinary object, because it did to me.

      As we were all in now, apart from the orb man, one of the older men said "close the doors, lift the barriers" and some fake wall barriers emerged from some slots on the floor next to the doors, sealing the room. I remember this conference room had some windows, and had too much room even for just this single conference table. This all had a very Illuminati type feeling to me, even in the dream.

      Second sequence:

      I'm not sure where this sequence starts or if it carried over from the last one, but this one is temporally fragmented. I remember the last part first: I was at a waterpark with my partner and I remember thinking when I was talking to someone, I think a woman, that I always wanted to go to one. We were sort of leaning back against a wall of this single-story building, a large square-ish building as far as my dream self knew, we were waiting for something, I think more members of our group, which I think included my family. I remember as I waited, I was messing around, like lifting myself up by putting my hands against two lower walls and pushing myself up and I was also looking around the waterpark and outside of it.

      I saw some skyscrapers in the city. One was probably 30 stories, and then another, fancier, office building behind it was something between 60 or 70, I guessed. I pondered as I thought it was so strange that such a small difference in stories could make up for so much more height. The sky was blue and clear and it was certainly daytime.

      I think our group arrived and we walked around the square building and we were looking for a restaurant or something. We all went into this small one and as everyone was going in I could see on a digital interface (inside my head) that another nearby restaurant that was related to this one was much busier at the moment, and I walked up to one of the staff members that was headed for the loo and said to him like "want me to get some more people over from [indecipherable] restaurant?"; he looked at me approvingly but didn't answer and went in the bathroom; I turned away and walked out and headed for the other restaurant. This fragment ends here.

      Another fragment, before this last one, in dream time:

      I was standing with my partner in a garden at this waterpark; there were white painted wooden fences and it was a clear blue sky day, as it would still be later. My dream self knew this garden was part of an accommodation we were staying in, part of the park's premises. I remember hearing a woman's voice, she was praying, loudly, and I commented to my partner "surely she can keep her voice down a little?"; he shrugged and looked in the distance, resting his arms on this wooden fence. Her praying went on for some time, and I thought about how I had never prayed loudly in my life except when asked to, and even then, barely so. And yet this woman was praying to be heard by all, without concern of being judged or criticised for doing so.

      I remember my dream self knew there sprinklers in the gardens but they had not yet been on, though the grass looked perfectly lush and perfectly trimmed.

      Can't recall more fragments.



      Notes:
      • I have had curiosity about going to waterparks, but I have certainly never had the open desire of "always wanting to go to one", so this could have been a thought I could have realised was odd.

      • Both dreams, the whole places were dream-generated, in their entirety. The only "exception" being that the accommodation and its garden in the last fragment very closely resembled the type of thing my family used to go to holiday for, when I was a kid.

      • In the dream I could clearly hear the woman's prayers but I had forgotten all of it by the time I woke up. It felt important to my dream self to remember what she was praying.

      • In the first dream, the "Illuminati" conference was probably partly based off the imagined world from the first Deus Ex Machina games, as that is one of the most prominent visual culture references I have for the subject. I do not know why my dream self, which was like "me", was part of it. And if there were a dozen people in the room, with the 3 of us walking into the room, that would make 15 - in the game's world it is implied there are 12 members only.

      • The floating purple orb really had no special feel to it; it felt more mechanical and part of nature than anything else, as I truly did not feel any special energy from it. The man was peculiar for mostly just standing there, firmly, in what looked like a tophat and an old style suit, simply "presenting" the orb. Perhaps he and the orb were merely part of the garden, in the same way as the grass and vines.

      • Tip/Memory Note: I remember much less on getting up than what I wrote now, but because of the way memory works it's easier to remember things like a dream in sequence, so as you start from the beginning or end it becomes easier to recall more of the memorable parts if you think it out and through. This is also true for your waking life memories: if you are in a room and don't remember the recent past, you go backwards in your memory of living the last moments. If you pay enough attention through most of the day, you can recall an entire day this way, sometimes more.
    3. October 23, 2017 Non-Lucid Nightmare and Semi-Lucid

      by , 10-23-2017 at 05:59 PM (Deep Inside The Lucid Dreamer's Subconscious)
      I come to remember the dream as being near the coast at this house. Bam Margera and his crew are there doing stupid things, driving cars out of control, doing drugs, etc. I'm looking at my phone trying to get an uber. My father says that he will pick me up, but then leaves as I'm looking confused at my uber app. The car was there, and now it's gone. Another one might come for me, but it never does.

      At some point I'm shifting locations on a geographical level, heading over to a city. There, I come into a building that has two guys in an office on the first level looking at a computer. I go up the stairs to see there are a lot of desks with interns at them. I am an intern at this large accounting firm and it's my first day. Everyone is very nervous. There are two separate managers who come up to our level and yell at us to get to work. This was a nightmare for me. It was very scary because I remember thinking that if I fucked up, they'd fire me on the spot. Our task is to look at a list of foods and then determine how much of whatever is in each food. We're frantically scribbling things on the page like we're taking a test of some sort. I remember writing things like "1x eggs, 2x milk." I didn't know the exact answer but I would write things down anyways. One of the interns starts to pack up her things. She gets to leave at 3pm because she says she is done. She is wearing a prom dress and saying that she's going to a dance. I start to work on my test again when a huge commotion happens outside. I go outside to see the girl in the dress getting aggressively shoved into a cop car by a cop. The two managers are outside looking mean. We're all forced back inside as they yell at us.

      I remember thinking that I would take a vacation at this point. My view is shifted high to a geographical level as I'm trying to decide which place to vacation at. There's a water park in the south and a water park in the north. The southern water park has a bigger outside area and the northern water park has some water areas that aren't for leisure and then some crazy water slides next to each other. I can't decide which one I want to go to because I remember I'm not from the area. I ask one of my fellow interns who's my friend IRL named Irene where she wants to go. I told her that it would be more fun if we went together so that we'd know someone there.

      I'm at my friend Mason's house. He has a very open yard with some huge trees dangling down branches. I want to fly. At first, I cannot get off the ground. I start to spring up, thinking that I will do a double jump like Mario and the third jump will get me off the ground. It works. I'm levitating about 20 yards in the air, and then I'm flying very high into the sky. It's day time and the sky is a dreamy blue. I remember there were more trees than IRL with branches getting in my way. I'm very high up into the sky now, looking down and thinking that I might fall to the ground, but I don't. I'm simply up there, levitating maybe 100 yards from the ground now. I get caught up in the dream and forget that I'm the dreamer. The branches start to entangle me as I return back to the dream, coaching myself to remember that this is a dream. But it fades.

      I'm at a football/baseball game at a new college that I do not recognize. There are 50,000+ in the stands cheering for this game. I remember I'm in the lower section of the stands taking a video on my phone of the game and the crowd chanting.
    4. #198. Waterpark in the Sky

      by , 08-17-2015 at 07:23 PM (Things to Run Away From Really Fast)
      Long dream that started out when Fitz wanted to go base jumping with Simmons, but he hadn't suited up by the time the group was jumping.

      Later, Fitz has to rescue Simmons. Everything has turned into a weird waterpark in the sky. Simmons is briefly some sort of bivalve (like a clam or an oyster) and is glowing, and Fitz has to sneak her in without anyone realizing. Everyone is now looking for the glowing bivalve, because it's some sort of MacGuffin.

      Simmons is turned back into her regular self, and now she has to rescue Fitz. I swim through the waterpark as Simmons, breathing easily underwater.

      There's a gunfight now.

      shift

      We're on the ground, now. Autumn colours, and there's some kind of graduation happening. I'm a teenaged girl in a blue dress, only a little bit more practical than Cinderella-style. We're marching against a rival town.

      The two groups of rival townspeople meet on a grassy field. I summon a whirlwind of fire. Or try to—it turns out that I have an ice staff, so I freeze everyone within a five-metre radius. Most of the enemy group is frozen, but so are a few allies, including my mage.

      I switch to a character on the outskirts. Katniss. Ranged. I nock an arrow.

      We shift

      so that I'm watching my brother play a strategy game in the same setting. Rival towns, grassy fields. The game involves playing rival towns' structures against one another, so my brother is using playground equipment against his enemy's farm equipment. Jungle gyms versus tractors and combines.

      The enemy structures approach and my brother bashes his playground equipment against them. The enemy's mass and your mass cancel each other out, so if you can find enough structures to throw against the invaders, you win. Otherwise, they keep coming.

      There's also something about a fairy godmother.

      Adventure: 5/10
      Control: 4/10
      Fear: 2/10
    5. 12/14/12 Non-Lucid Frustration

      by , 12-14-2012 at 07:22 PM (Deep Inside The Lucid Dreamer's Subconscious)
      I'm with my friend Kolby as we're in some giant waterpark that's based in the middle of an ocean. We believe this is beachweek and there are 100s of people in this place including life guards. I go down some slide that is more of a ramp into the clear water. I look down to the bottom to see an interesting coral reef and I start to think this is paradise. Kolby's brother (shawyn) walks by with his group of older college student friends and I nod my head to him. Suddenly, the lifeguards start grabbing kids and screaming at them to show I.D. that they are 21. Kolby and I exchange glances then run to what seems like a call of duty map. Now him and I believe we are just leaving school from a long day. It is crowded on this bridge, so I shove some underclassmen out of my way. Then I see a girl that I saw last night at a christmas party irl, so I walk behind her and whisper something provacative and vulgar into her ear and she gives me this look of desire as if she agrees to what I just said. Kolby yells that we're going to miss the bus (even though I don't ride the bus anymore). We are walking around a bus loop where there is a row of buses behind each other. As we pass the first one, Kolby says "dude that's your bus" and it starts to drive away. I sprint after it leaving kolby behind and start to bang on the door sort of like in Spiderman 1. My friend Will from school screams at the bus driver to stop and as the bus stops and the doors open, I see it's my bus driver from elementary school. I get on and sit down across from Will and another friend that I have recently converted to lucid dreaming named Luke. I start to explain to both of them what lucid dreaming is, but I never actually realize that it this was a dream so the dream continues. We round a corner and ramp into the air but hover safely to the ground soon after. That's when it ended.

      It's so frustrating when I explain what lucid dreaming is to a dream figure and I don't actually do a reality check to start the lucid dream.

    6. A Simple Task, A Deadly Water Park (January 19, 2012)

      by , 01-23-2012 at 12:37 AM (Chronicles of Ethos)
      DreamLucidAwake

      A Simple Task

      It was the middle of the night and I was lying in my bed. I was having a ridiculous number of false awakenings that night. An invisible force knocked me out of my bed and onto the floor. When I looked up my dog was sitting on the top bunk. I realized there were two things wrong with that. 1. It would be impossible for him to jump that high. 2. I don't have a top bunk. I stood up and felt a familiar energy. I did the nose reality check. I couldn't breathe through. I tried it two more times and I still couldn't breathe through my nose. I then tried a different reality check by looking at my hand. I looked at my hand and it had a large hole in it like it had been stabbed. So of course I became lucid after seeing my hand was a bloody mess for no reason. I started rubbing my hands together and focus on my environment to stabilize. I think a few tricks I was using through out the night helped to boost my awareness.

      I walked out my door and saw a plastic Mountain Dew bottle spinning and flying around all over the floor. My sister was there watching it and she didn't look too happy.

      "Why is it spinning?!" She yelled out of confusion.
      "Because it's a dream." I said.
      "Well make it stop, it's annoying." She demanded.
      "I'm not doing it." I said laughing.

      She got mad, went to her room, and slammed the door. The bottle was still spinning all over the place so I tapped it with my foot to make it stop. Out of nowhere I felt like going up to the fourth floor (even though we don't have one). I walked up the steps until I reached the attic. I saw the window and decided I was going to go for a fly. I concentrated on two points in my back and grew white dragon wings out of them. I then ran and crashed through the window. I fell a few feet before I started to flap my wings. I could have just levitated, but I seem to like the feeling of having wings more.

      I was now flying over some neighborhood and didn't quite know what to do. I then saw a woman standing in the middle of the road. I felt like I was supposed to talk to her. I flew over to the street she was on and made a rough landing. I talked to her and she gave me a task. She told me to go into this one house and have sex with a girl. So I'm just going to say I went inside the house, had sex, and woke up.


      A Deadly Water Park

      I'm having trouble remembering this one. I was at some sort of water park in the middle of a field. I remember I was there with Chris, the elf, and some old man. I at least remember the ending of the dream. Chris and the old man were inside some temple building talking about important stuff. While they were doing that, me and the elf were enjoying the water park. I walked over to a metal machine in the shape of a claw. It had a bunch of holes in it and it read "DON'T TOUCH, DON'T DIE".

      "Don't touch, don't die..." I read out loud smiling.
      "Don't you dare!" She said, knowing what I was thinking.
      "This is just a dream. What's the worst that could happen?" I said reachin out my hand.

      I poked the claw and it instantly blasted a huge wave of water at us. It flooded the area for 5 seconds before we were lying on dry land again. Despite the warning, we were still alive.

      "That didn't kill us!" I said laughing.
      "I hate you." She said.

      I then woke up from laughing too much.


      End

    7. River Waterslide

      by , 07-24-2011 at 01:27 AM
      I do not recall how I got there, and I don't really have any great specifics about my surroundings other than it seemed like i was at a waterpark, around some apartments.... I am me myself in this day and age, my fiance is there, im taking care of my son, my mom is also there. We are doin basic things you would do at a waterpark, but then things get kind of wierd... I am down at the "river" only the river is on this huge red waterslide, and we r all carrying around intertubes like we would be floating on a river but also riding them down a waterslide. My son (3 yrs old) and fiance are off doing their own thing as well as my mother... there are now 2 ppl there in addition to my mother, son, and fiance, and a BUNCH of people i donot know, my mom's ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend whom was his ex which is the mother of his new child gunner who is also there, and for some reason I am trying to "save" Gunner (who is 6 months old) from his mother and father (im anxious, sad, scared, and angry) I am reaching down and frantically trying to take him out of his carseat.... I wake... when i fall back asleep, my surroundings are the same, only now my exboyfriend (whom i havent seen in 5 years) is there with me, we are just hanging out as friends talking and laughing, we go and slide/float down this river waterslide and as we r i see my mother, my fiance and son and i wave, i am very happy... then my son wakes me
