    1. The Time Loop

      by , 01-26-2015 at 06:46 PM
      I'm not sure now to describe this dream. It was very long and complex, but when I think about writing it down, I can't think of how to explain it, so it may be pretty short.

      Dream:

      I was in a sort of "time loop". It was like for years I had been doing the same thing. I had been going to the school and being with my sister who is a teacher and with Mrs L. I had a tradition of doing a storytelling presentation. Every time it was the same, because every time in the "time loop" the day started exactly the same. But then suddenly I was there and about to do my presentation and realized that something had happened, and everything was different. I remember going into Mrs. L's office and we were both feeling nervous about what was happening.

      ----

      Wow, that was a terrible way to describe what felt like an epic dream.

    2. Protein Store

      by , 01-23-2015 at 09:04 PM
      I dreamed that Tanya and I were in this store. There were these bins--like if you were going to get ice cream for cones. But instead they were filled with these different protein powders. You could choose a flavor and the person behind the counter would take it and either blend it into a protein shake or form it into a bar and microwave it. Tanya chose a flavor called "Coconut Berry" and got hers in bar form. I hadn't decided which one I would get.

    3. Missed Lucidity: The Stupid Mana Bar

      by , 01-22-2015 at 07:38 PM
      I just had one of those "Stupidest Ways You've Missed Lucidity" dreams. I always wake up frustrated after I have a dream where I am discussing lucid dreaming with someone and don't catch that I am dreaming.

      Dream:

      I am in my grandparents house with my mom and sister. I also see Marie walk by with her new Japanese friend. They are all dressed up. I am on what I think is the treadmill, but it seems to have a computer on it and I am reading from a lucid dreaming website. (I don't remember anything about it being Dreamviews specifically). I remember reading a post where someone is suggesting using a "mana bar" to help them with dream powers. I think about my World of Warcraft character, and how she uses a mana bar for her spells to work, and I think, "What a stupid idea!" In fact, I decide to rant to my mom and sister about just how stupid I think that idea is. I remember saying something like, "What...like I am supposed to make this mana bar over my head while I fly and stuff. And what happens if I run out of mana? Do I crash to the ground? That's just so dumb. I don't need mana to have my powers. I'll never run out. I just need to believe." And I think I went on a bit longer to my poor dream mom and sister.

      Then I remember sitting down at the kitchen table and asking my sister to pout me a bowl of cereal. She poured cereal into my bowl and what came out of the box was just marshmallows and chocolate chips. I said, "Whoa, I can't eat this." And she started scooping it back into the box. I said, "Wait, you can leave a few chocolate chips."

      And then my sister tells me about all these coupons she got from a cereal company by commenting on their website.


      Of course when I woke up I realized that it was my own subconscious that came up with the dumb mana bar idea. And that I missed a chance to become lucid, as well.
    4. LD: Soaring over Huge Canyon

      by , 01-16-2015 at 04:11 AM
      Another older dream:

      8-9-10


      Lucid Dream:



      I was walking down the road from my house and saw a house for sale. I didn't remember seeing this house before. It was very large and old and interesting. It had a very big lot. I decided to go look at the house. I wondered if it was something that I could buy. It was big, but also old, so maybe affordable for me.



      I remember looking inside. The owner was suddenly with me and showing me the rooms. It was almost castle-like inside. At one point she showed me a suit of armor and told me tht the man who wore this haunted this house. I thought that was really cool, and it made me want to buy the hosue even more.



      At one point I was outside. The house was suddenly on this big sandstome hill. I walked around the house. At one point it was very narrow, and the house was on what looked like the edge of the Grand Canyon. I tried to scoot around that part of the house. But I had to hang on to this sandstone rock and kind of hung over the huge drop off.



      I think it was this that made me lucid.



      I knew I was dreaming, but the drop still scared me. I knew that I should be able to let go and I could fly. But it felt so real. And I felt so heavy. I was afraid I would start to fall if I let go.



      Later when I was back to the level wide ground I walked over to the edge again. I felt cautious. But I stepped back again and took a slow run toward the edge again. This time I made sure I started to fly before I got to the edge. By doing it this was I wasn't afraid. I started to soar over the huge canyon. I remember enjoying the feeling of flight.



      But that's all I really remember.

    5. Low Level Lucid: Jumping around in a Tree

      by , 01-16-2015 at 04:08 AM
      Another older dream:

      7-27-10


      I just remembered that I had a dream with a little low level lucidity involved. It's all very fuzzy, though.

      I was outside and wanted to show off for these people. I think I became lucid and jumped up in a very tall tree and jumped around from branch to branch.

      Seems a bit odd, but that's what I remember.

    6. LD: Food and Flying

      by , 01-16-2015 at 04:04 AM
      Another older dream.

      7-11-10

      Lucid Dream:

      I'm not sure what triggered lucidity, but when I became lucid I was a the dinner table with several people including my sister. I remembered recently reading a post here on Dreamviews about whether you can taste things in dreams. Even though I have eaten in dreams before and tasted food I wanted to put this to the test again and really try to notice.

      I picked up a block of cheddar cheese and popped it into my mouth. I remember thinking that I could distinctly taste the cheddar flavor, but it was not as strong as in real life, like it was somehow "muted".

      I then decided I wanted to eat cookies. There weren't any on the table so I went to a cupboard and opened it up. Sure enough, there was a plate of cookies. I started stuffing them into my mouth. I was a little disappointed to find that they were store bought, like a chewy Chips Ahoy kind of cookie. I tried to transform them into homemade, and they changed slightly, looking a little more irregular. But they still tasted like store-bought.

      I then tried to find a plate of brownies, but I didn't have any luck with that, so I went outside. I thought about the fact that I don't have to "try" to fly. I just think about it and an instant later I am in the sky. I paid close attention to that now. As soon as I walked out the door, I was pulled up into the sky fairly quickly. I slowed to a stop at about three stories up, which is in the range I usually fly at (1-4 stories).
      I don't often fly too high. I have to really work at it to get higher than that "normal" range of mine.

    7. LD: Asking a DC a question...and sex...maybe.

      by , 01-16-2015 at 04:01 AM
      Catching up on some old dreams from my old Dream Journal:

      7-8-10


      This one seemed to be long and complex, but I only remember the end.

      I remember waiting for this cruise type ship to arrive. On it were many important people. Finally I saw it pull up. Every one I saw was black.

      Later I ended up with the most important person on the ship. He was some kind of prince. He was not black. He had short sandy blond hair and was about 35-40 years old. And he was very nice looking.

      Somehow I ended up lucid.

      I tried to remember the Task of the Month. I thought it was "to ask a DC a question". So I asked the prince, "So do you know that this is my lucid dream?" He knodded at me knowingly and said, "Ah, yes."

      I felt like I needed to ask another question, so I asked, "Do you want to kiss me?"

      Next thing I know we are kissing rather passionately, and as we kiss I notice we have less and less clothing between us. I remember rubbing my hands on his bare back. At one point I even wondered if we were having sex. But I was never sure. Funny how that works in dreams.

      Then there is an unknown transition. I am trying to get dressed and my foot keeps getting caught in the stretchy material of the shorts I was putting on.


      I'm not sure if I was lucid here...or even where the dream went at this point.

    8. Forgotten Dreams

      by , 01-15-2015 at 04:47 PM
      I found a paper by my bed. On it was a list of dreams that I had about a month ago. I had written down brief notes. Now if I had gotten them written up in my DJ here on the day that I had the dream I'm sure I would have remembered them. As I read through my notes I was a bit sad when I realized that I really didn't remember much. A few sort of rang a bell and I remembered a slight image from that dream, but with no detail. Other dreams on the list could have been dreamed by a stranger-- they were that forgotten. This is a huge reminder to me why journaling is important. Immediate journaling. Dream memories fade way too fast.

      But for fun I will list the notes here anyway.

      Dreams:

      1. Rappelling in hotel

      2. Grandma's house/bathrooms/Christmas present/shirt from Elden/bows

      3. Weird bathroom/naked/kids in backyard/medication

      4. Looking for food with friend Marie/shop/clay bowl in class

      5. Talking with ladies/Jan Y/bed/quilt

      6. Lady/joke/dress-up

      7. Ghost/cave

      8. Cathy/letter

      9. Camping in gravel parking lot with Angela/worried

      10. Living room with Robert's kids

      11. Huge Fish tank in living room/lots of plants and baby fish

      12. Taking care of Mexican baby Malinda

      13. Baby Daniel talking

      14. Having a baby on the Rez/Paul B




      Ooo....I really wish I remembered the ghost/cave dream. I wonder if it will come to me if I really think about it.

    9. The Voices....

      by , 01-14-2015 at 10:02 PM
      I'm posting something from back in October 2006. A comment by Verre (about my recent micro nap dreams) made me think about this and go look it up again. I have heard "the voices" quite a few times in that transition between wake and sleep. But I don't think I have ever had it happen as much at one time as it happened this particular time.

      Here it is:


      I had another night with a blur of dreams. I woke up a little disappointed. But I decided to lay in bed and try to squeeze out one little dream before I got up. It ended up I wasn't tired enough to go fully asleep and have a full dream. But I got to the stage where I was hearing "the voices". I'm sure most people know what I am talking about--that stage where you think you are awake, yet you get funny little snips of conversation that you know were not part of your conscious thoughts.

      Well, I decided to write them down. After each, I lay back down and did it again. I got a funny little list of these "voices". Here they are:

      Someone talking about an invisible roommate: "You won't see her, 'cuz that's what's expected of her."

      "Your brother is so weird."

      Ladies voices:
      Lady #1: "Your mother said no DNA."
      Lady #2: "Your mother told me, too."

      "The kids and the military will be glad to be back."

      Old man's voice : "I can't believe you're not going to give me a cent."

      Many voices together: "It's gone!"

      Four black ladies sitting around a desk talking about my friend: "He wants to split the groups..." Laughing....

      Girl's voice: "And if you're lucky, let me know."

    10. Two Micro Nap LDs: Reading Words on a Paper

      by , 01-14-2015 at 06:35 PM
      The other day I had a couple mini lucid dreams. I should probably call them "Micro Lucids" because they were super short, but in them I was able to accomplish one short task each.

      These micro LDs occurred while I was trying to take a power nap. As I drifted off I found myself standing with a piece of paper in front of me that had writing on it. I always like to reading things in LDs. So I picked up the paper and took a look. It said....*drumroll* ........"Replanting the file eon"

      And I immediately woke up. What the heck does that mean? I wrote it down and decided to finish my power nap. Strangely, the same exact thing happened again. I'm standing there with another piece of paper. I hoped this message would be more meaningful. I looked closely and read the words, "Zero the charm" And I immediately woke up again and wrote the words down.

      So I have to wonder why my brain came up with those weird random phrases. Hmmmm....

      Both of these dreams happened so fast that I hardly even knew I was sleeping. In fact, it was one of those nap "dreams" where you are still mostly awake, but you start seeing the dream before your eyes, like a little hallucination, but you are still thinking consciously like you are fully awake. It was like a WILD with an instant transition. Happens a lot in nap dreams. There is probably a name for it, but I haven't looked it up.
