Thread: Salmone's Dreams

Entry 2
=======

I was back at Cardiff (where i spent the last 3 years studying) and i went to the cornershop at the bottom of my street, with someone. I ended up doing a full shop there but managed to get the cost of my shopping down from aboot £12 to £6.40 8) I remember looking for a nice big juicy red apple, but the more i looked the bigger and bluer they got

After that i walked out with my carrier bags and whoever i was with had gone on ahead. When i got to the first house in my street, the front door was open and they were having some work done, I peered inside and saw all breezeblocks and cement everywhere and my dogs running around barking their heads off. I grabbed em by their collars and walked them down the street to my house.

Just before i got there, the street turned into my driveway at home (where my parents live) and brandon boyd appeared. I asked him for some tips on singing and he said something like 'you wouldn't understand' so i walked off.. then 'the killers' music started playing and i started dancing with my shadow.

Entry 3
=======

Had a bit of a late night 8) so can't remember anything apart from waking up with a Lemon Jelly Song in my head.

Entry 4
=======

Hmm. My recall is sucking lately. I think i need more sleep.

What i remember is really random and theres bits missing. Maybe they will come to me later.
There's something about sugar and sitting on the loo. Ohh.. its coming to me..

It seems like there were these people that were like, not human but they were.. well they looked human. But apparently they wern't. And i was trying to be friendly to them and somebody said that they will never be friendly to us. But i still tried to be friendly coz i reckon they wanted to be.

Weird as usual.
Can't remember anymore than that.

Entry 5
=======

This is a long one so make yourself comfortable.

It was late and decided to goto bed so i turned my computer off and walked out the room. Then this guy appeared and tried to fight me. After a while of fighting he somehow killed me and i became a ghost. My parents came down to see where i was and they started panicing when they couldn't find me so i tried to move a box on the floor to get mums attention, it worked and she jumped. Then i gave her a hug and that startled her so i tried to find a way of telling her it was me and that i was ok. In the end i just whispered and she heard me, then she tried telling dad but he didn't seem interested and walked off..

Next thing i know me and mum are in this room talking to a dead guy. I remember wanting to ask him what it was like being dead and what happens etc and as i started to ask him, mum shook her head so i changed mid sentance and ended up asking what chocolate bars were like when you're dead.

---

After that all i remember is ths big hill and there were a lot of people around.I was in a sort of, team with a load of girls 8) . One of them said that someone said to her they thought i was dead sexy and saw me when i made a speech to the crowd earlier. She wrote down her number on a raffle ticket and gave it to this girl.. but she forgot to keep it so she went on a mission to go get it. I watched her on tv runnign down the side of this hill jumping over obstacles falling over etc. was quite entertaining. after a while i decided to follow after her so i ended up doing the same. At the bottom of the hill i came across some 'swing ball' competiions so i quickly competed then carried on..

Next thing i know i cut my hands with some keys so was in this kitchen looking for soem anti septic. When I found some, everytime i squeezed the bottled too much juice came out. Then this girl approached me and it was the one that liked me. She said she thought i was hot 8) and that she liked my song 'hello' but wasn't sure about the mix of it. So i tried to explain to her that it is 2 years old and i have since then done a new one for the cd..

then john mayer gets on a stage and is sat down with his guitar doing his thing.. the crowd was singing along with him and i was just like , i want to be like that one day.

Yeah then i woke up feeling really knackered. *yawn*

Entry 6
=======

Had a few too many to drink so i woke up feeling more ill than wanting to remember my dreams.

BUT i do remember having severe scratches down my left arm.



I'm so tired.

Entry 7
=======

I can't remember much of this but there were a few people i knew and we were all equipped with guns and chemicals.. we were trying to stop a rampage of fishy creatures from killing everyone. I remember, it was like a river and there was a bank on the other side with a guy on it, and behind him was this hole. A massive flat fish type fish came out of it and attacked him and electrocuted him. Flat fish disappeared and we waded through river (which was green. nice..and full of nonfriendly creatures) to help the guy. I checked the hole and Mr flat fish decided to come out again so i shouted RUN and we all ran back to the other side.
It decided to chase me and my mate Tom so we ran into a room and shut the door behind but it was trying to kick thedoor down.. so i was pushing so hard against the door... but flat fish was SO strong... so then a toilet appeared in front of me and i wedged myself between the door and that.. which helped. Then Tom found a pair of keys and locked the door. Phew!

I remember feeling like i couldn' t move quick enough though when i went to grab the door and stop flat fish from opening it..

-------

Next thing i know im running from people in a super market, doing backflips and stuff over checkouts. I hide in this room with airvents in it and try and figure out away through them. Then they transform into mini lifts so i climb on top of one and it takes me downstairs. Then theres this room with a evil boss guy and a woman. We had to negotiate with him and in the end me and the lady had to have sex to get a DNA sample or something.

Anyway. Guess i got too excited and woke up..

Entry 8
=======

I was in a room waiting to meet with a mate for a drink. I looked out the window and saw an old mate from school and he pointed as if to say we're all meeting round the corner. So i went down and met them at this park, there were 3 guys and 2 girls. I knew them all in my dream but i've got no idea who they actually were.. i sat down next to one of the girls and she was really attractive. She started saying to me how much she liked my songs and stuff but then everytime i looked down at the ground and then up again, she aged by about 30 years.. and started turning into a bush. I could actually see her morphing into a bush. Then she got all upset about it.

----

Then i was in this farm with my housemates, it was night time and we were sneaking around these tightly packed barns trying to not get seen by the farmer. Then i remember this big leech type thing sticking to my back so i picked it off and my mate took it off me and used it as bate for fishing. Then the farmer dude came down and appeared next to me with a fishing rod and cast a line out then i remember thinking about how my dad would never take me fishing when i was younger

----

i remember hearing a telephone ring and thinking 'i love the sound of that phone'.
-Turns out that it was the house phone ringing.

Entry 9
=======

I kept waking up after every dream but i was so tired i couldn't be bothered to write them down. Now i only remember little random bits:

I'm in my room at Uni and my mate is moving in as i move out. It looked a little different. Had 2 beds instead of one.. etc. I was helping him move some stuff around to make more space. Then his girlfriend was hiding in a box, except we knew she was there. She jumped out and got in a moan with my mate (she moans a lot in real life).. and that was about it.

-------

I was running round a shopping center with no shirt on, sweating like a ***** and holding a gun. I was trying to find somebody and they were trying to find me. - I watch too much 24.

-------

I was driving along a dual carriageway when i came to 2 lorries in both lanes, so i decided to drive under them from the back.. they were really really long and really low to the ground.. and had all these sharp dangley bits that scraped the roof of my car. Bastard.


That's it.

Entry 10
=======

I only remember bits here and there but i dreamt i was on some kind of island with some people. I woke up real early to watch the sunrise on this beach and it was the most beautiful thing i've ever seen... it was breathtaking.. but i couldn't go in the water for some reason, i think it was infested with some creatures or something. Can't remember. Then i saw this bloke and he offered me his job or something.. but then i had to go.

----

I was by this river and 2 people i knew were in it, i had a rocket launcher which i launched into the sky but it came down and hit the 2 people in the sea and injured them. I saw what i did and ran and pretended i didn't do it. Then i joined a team that were further up this hill and they shouted something like 'They're on the move.. take them out TAKE THEM OUT' so i whipped out this massive rifle and started shooting at these people. One guy managed to escape my fire so i lobbed a grenade infront of him which started a fire and he burn't his hand. Some guy patted me on the back and said good job.



I really gotta stop watching 24.

Entry 11
=======

I was back at my halls of residence in the first year of Uni and cleaning the kitchen with one of my flatmates. I noticed somebody had chipped some smiley faces into some of the tiles. There was a guitar magazine on the worksurface, and had some tab on one of the chillies songs, i was listening to it but i remember thinking that isn't a song, the guitarist is just making it up as he goes along..

Hey hun...nice job so far with your Dream Journal. Keep up the good work

I've gone through and picked out several things that you need to start becoming more aware of and recognizing as your dream signs. You might find it easier to focus on just a few of them rather than ALL of them...I just put them all down so that you can possibly use them as a Dream Sign.

The most important one I've noticed so far that I think will really help you to become lucid is being back at Cardiff, Uni, or wherever it was that you lived before and don't live now. Old houses are a dead give away for Dream Signs. Bring it into your concious thought and constantly be thinking, there is no way I could be back at Uni, if I am...then I MUST BE DREAMING.

Then this guy appeared and tried to fight me. After a while of fighting he somehow killed me...I can't remember much of this but there were a few people i knew and we were all equipped with guns and chemicals.. we were trying to stop a rampage of fishy creatures from killing everyone...sweating like a ***** and holding a gun...i had a rocket launcher which i launched into the sky...'They're on the move.. take them out TAKE THEM OUT' so i whipped out this massive rifle and started shooting at these people. One guy managed to escape my fire so i lobbed a grenade infront of him which started a fire and he burn't his hand...[/b]

The next thing I noticed (like you have noticed probably from watching 24 or whatever) is weapons...any sort of weapon. Again, bring it into your conscious thought that...there is no way you could have a gun (unless you own one?), or a rocket launcher, or a grenade so the next time you are holding any sort of weapon or fighting anyone that you MUST be dreaming.

The next one I noticed is shopping centers. You seem to be in shopping centers quite a bit in your dreams, so just make sure that whenever you go to a shopping center you MUST perform a Reality Check. That way when you dream about going to a shopping center you should remember to do a reality check.

Another dream sign for you could be water, as it seems to be in your dreams alot (especially water with creatures in it). So whenever you are in or near water do a reality check...if you are never in water then you have to think to yourself...how the hell am I in a river...near an ocean...etc...I MUST be dreaming.

<!--QuoteBegin-Salmone
one of my mates (tom) was trying to work out how to fly with a booster pack thing on his back but when he pressed the button it didn't work…I remember looking for a nice big juicy red apple, but the more i looked the bigger and bluer they got…Just before i got there, the street turned into my driveway at home (where my parents live)…When I found some, everytime i squeezed the bottled too much juice came out…everytime i looked down at the ground and then up again, she aged by about 30 years.. and started turning into a bush. I could actually see her morphing into a bush…

This next one is universal and not SO much a dream sign...but just something that you should be aware of to help you become lucid. And that is, things that don't function correctly, things that are abnormal, things that change/morph...etc. Just all the things that might cause you to stop and say HEY that's not right, I must be dreaming.

Anyways, I hope this has been helpful. And good luck! The more you write down the more dream signs you'll be able to recognize and the greater your chances of becoming lucid.

So remember...
[size=18]
Being back at Uni/Cardiff - you MUST be dreaming!

Weapons (and fighting) - you MUST be dreaming!

Shopping - Reality Check!

Water (especially unusual water) - Reality Check!

Strange things that don't make sense - you MUST be dreaming!

thanks a lot nina, you're a star

Entry 12
=======

I dreamt a LOT last night, but i left my damn book downstairs so i've forgotten a lot already.

One thing i remember is walking down this street with someone important.. like my mum or someone. i forget.. the street is the street behind where we used to live. And i was showing this person where i used to ride my bike when i was little and where i crashed into the lampost on my 8th birthday and wrecked my new bike.. (ah those were the days ).. yeah. then im in this car driving down this street but im not driving someone else is, and she passes out or something so im trying to take control of the wheel but the car wont turn and we end up crashing into this alleyway.

Theres a kid in there, he looks like he's waiting to meet with some friends or to do a drug deal or something and says that we better get out of here soon or his mates will be there and probably kill us all. So i try and get everyone im with out of the alleyway and then i stay behind and try and fix the car. This dudes mates arrive but i fix the car and move on..

hmm bit sketchy but thats all i can remember.

Entry 13
=======

I was in this shop with a mate, and some birds (of the wingd kind) were following me around. One of them seemed to like me.. but her friends didn't so they despised their friend for liking me. I felt the same about her but i found it hard to show it. Then i had to pay for some stuff so i went to the counter and it came to £10 but i only had 50p's so i had to count them all out and it took ages. After i payed for the stuff i turned around and tried to avoid the birds on the way out. Our house was round the corner and i remember it being really small. There was no front door so you had to crawl in through the front room windows.. then i remember i had an appointment down the hospital for 5pm and it was 4.55pm.

So i grabbed my bike and road down the street to the hospital. When i got inside i had to take my tshirt off and exchange it for one of theirs.. then made my way to this auditorium thing. I sat down right near the front, i was a bit late as the talker had already started talking. He was an ass and started taking the piss out of everyone in a real bad way so everyone left and i went to get my tshirt back.

I'm sure there was more but i can't remember as usual.

Entry 14
=======

Blimey i dreamt loads last night, it was one of those nights where you're disappointed when you wake up.

I was on this kids TV programme i used to watch when i was ickle, called 'Fun House'. It was a new version though and there wasn't much to it. All i had to do was run up and down these stairs and hit a button to get the best time. I remember though everytime i went to hit the button i kept missing it. Then the last time i ran down the steps i sorta.. skidded down them sideways. I don't know why that didn't make me lucid.. but anyway. I got the fastest time anyone had ever got and i won a car but when the guy drove it in to the tv studio he crashed it into the wall . Was such a great feeling though, beating everyones time. I was gutted when i woke up.. haha

Then i was back at cardiff and my housemate and i were packing our stuff up to leave.. I thought that he'd gone because when i went into his room he wasn't there, but he'd left some stuff in there so i thought maybe he's coming back.. and the second i thought that, i heard the key in the door and he came back with his parents.. hmm.

I remember there was something about music as well.. and it sounding really amazing.. i forget now.

cool dude.
hope you dont mind my intrusion here, i will delete it if you want. but i read your journal I am not stalking you, but I read it. and this is proof.it is interesting. tells me about you.
your not the only one though

ANYWAY...

your past few dreams have all had some significant dream signs in them...hopefully you can start making connections hun...more reality checks...hmmm well at least your recall is still good, I think we need to try something here...we'll talk about it on MSN

ps

no i dont mind nirvana. i didn't think my dreams were that interesting..

thanks nina.


Entry 15
=======

For some reason i was sent back in time to find an explanation as to why soldiers from the 2nd world war all turned into zombies. (?!!!!!!) I remember walking around all these creepy halls and rooms and stuff. I was in this one room with a load of people i knew but they were the people i had to study to find out why they turned into zombies. Weird. I was trying to draw one of the people and i remember my housemate from cardiff looking over my shoulder.

-----

I was definitly back at my old house in cardiff again at some point, but i remember this time my room was the back room instead.. and someone i hated was there with my other housemate.

And i remember walking around this public place saying this is all a dream and i was thinking about doing a backflip off the bridge into the water but i was worried about getting hurt.. then i bumped into my friend and he was thinking the same thing. We wondered down to where we were gonna jump and looked at each other and thought 'hmm' then i was saying well.. we are in a lucid dream so it wont hurt.. we'll just float.

Godamn it, i was even SAYING i was dreaming.. but i didn't become lucid at all.

*sigh*

Hey at least you are making some progress!

At least you are starting to dream about lucid dreaming...that's a step in the right direction because at least you have it in your subconscious and conscious thought that you are trying to become lucid.

Now if you perform more RC's on a regular basis, the next time you have a dream about lucid dreaming you might just happen to try an RC and it will fail and you will become lucid. If you were standing there wanting to do a backflip because you thought it might be a dream...then you tried to stick your finger through your palm or some other reality check you would have become lucid for sure. I'm glad you are at least making progress.

Yeah.. ok, need to do more RCing.. its strange though..couple years ago i found it much easier to get lucid.. but now it just doesn't happen.. hmm.


Entry 16
=======

I was driving my car around (guess where) cardiff town, and for some reason there were 2 girls with me 8) but i didn't know them anyway, i was suppose to be dropping them off at Uni, which for some reason was where the train station in cardiff is.. anyway i went there but the car park was full (for some reason i had to park to drop them off, i couldn't just drop them off. Anyway i drove off and found another place to park round the corner and that was that.

Next thing im at a friends house and it was getting dark and his sister admitted her feelings towards me. But it wasn't actually his sister, it was a girl that used to live down my street in (guess where) cardiff.

I was also writing a song at some point and i remember some of the words, "i'd tell them a story...about a girl" or something.

hmm.

Entry 17
=======

How the hell did i get to entry 17 so fast

Anyway, bit of a blurry night this one. I dreamt a hell of a lot and it was all very action packed and a bit scary at times which made me wake up and get a bit freaked out with things in my room which looked like people but then i'd fall back to sleep thinking about what i was dreaming about and fell back into the same dream. Which was kinda cool. But im sure i kept waking up every 5 mins.

Anyway.

*opens dream journal*

I was in some kind of game and i was the main character. It was based around the front garden at home, and nina was there but she was a big green monster with a 6pack. hmm. I can't remember the rest..

Then im inside the house and its late, my folks have gone to bed and im in the hallway outside their room. For some reason i knew there was a guy coming round to kill us all. I heard him come in so i hid behind the door.. as he came through i took him out and grabbed his gun then put it on his head and demanded he told me why he'd been sent to kill us. (I really have to stop watching 24). I remember the gun i was holding was a pistol with a silencer on it and was pretty heavy. Then the parents woke up as did the dogs and they all came out to see what the comotion was.. can't remember much after that.

Next thing i know theres some kind of prophecy or something that i'm going to pass out and be visited by someone.. im sure Nina was in this one as well. I remember walking around with people i knew, i was in this weird place, sorta quite creepy and there were massive wooden gates around and i was running from things.

The last dream i had,i was driving down my old street in (guess where) cardiff. The street was empty and looked different.. as if i'd been away for a year or something. There we no cars parked apart from like, 2.. so i parked behind them. I was waiting for my friends but couldn't wait so i looked for our house.. i found the number 62 and was like ahha there it is. Which is strange because i didn't live at 62.

Anyway, I get to the door and theres been this dark brown wooden porch type thing added to the front of the house.. so i walk in and it looks all completely different. There was a room on the right as you walk in and somebody's stuff was in there. Ahead of me was the stairs but they were twice the size and wooden.. so i walked up them then a woman walks in behind me and is like WHO ARE YOU and im like I LIVE HERE so then she starts asking about our water bill and im like WTF.. turns out she was the mother of one of the students that had moved in.. then i got a bit confused because i thought i lived there

and then for some reason i had to escape but i couldn't just.. walk out the door... so i dived out a boarded up window, and my mate skidded to a halt in his car in front of me and i knew i had to get in. But i couldn't just ....open the door... i had to dive through the bloody passenger window. So i do and we speed off round the corner and through this back alley behind the house. Then we get stuck behind some old people who think they own the road and we're shaking our fists and stuff.

The end.

Entry 18
=======

I was in a class like at school but i was at a table with my housemates from (guess where) cardiff. I didn't get on with one of them very well (in reality) and in this dream he started moaning at me because i was drawing lines down my page and he argued that showed there was something up with me and he was getting tired of it or something. So i had to prove he was being a dick as usual by showing him that i always draw lines down my pages. I remember wishing he wasn't there.

At some point i run into one of my other friends from cardiff and he reminds me about a gig i have to play in august.. weird because it felt like i've known about it for a long time, as if i dreamt that he told me he sorted a gig out for me ages ago, in another dream.

Then i run in to my old flatmate from halls and she tells me that if we stick around for a bit theres a person who will offer us an hour talk on how to make the most of our sexual image or something. So i'm deciding whether to wait around or not, then Nina makes an appearance looking all fine and stuff 8) and i see her go in and sit at this table. When she comes out i ask her what it was like and she said it was 3 things... but i can only remember the 3rd thing.. 'informative'.

and thats about it.

lmao I had to go to a lecture to find out how to make the most of my sexual image...ok that's hilarious hehe (hey why didn't you go?)...oh well I guess it's better than being a big green monster

PS - you have the most obvious dream signs in the world (it's drivin me crazy here)...you just gotta teach yourself how to be more aware while you are dreaming by doing more RCs during the day and being more aware throughout the day, my guess is that you live inside your head alot and that's probably one of the reasons you don't question anything in your dreams...so...Mr. Creativity, get outta your head! I know...not so easy.

Yeah i guess i do live inside my head a lot... can't find a way out of it sometimes.

Entry 19 - Lucid.
=============

Yay.. my first 2 LDs in 2 years 8)

I woke up at about 5.30am and couldn't get to sleep.. got a bit of a cold at the moment so non stop sneezing fits etc.. but i drifted off at about 8ish... and got lucid

My folks had an argument and my dad stormed off so it was just me and my mum sat watching T.V then i noticed to the right of me there was a christmas tree and there were decorations around and i was like... what the feck.. it was summer a minute ago... then it clicked i must be dreaming. Almost instantly i felt myslelf waking up so i focused on my hands but i noticed i had no fingers and i was like... what the.. and i woke up.

At least i think i woke up. So i concentrated on trying to get back into the dream.. and tried to imagine a scene fading in. I imagined a chair and it started to fade into the picture.. then it started to become clear and began spinning.. then as if by magic a scene faded in and i new i was dreaming straight away. It wasn't very clear though so i imagined what it would be like if it were clear and it worked.. everything was in sharp focus - as if i put glasses on or something.

There were people in the room, all of them were american.. and i think they were all blokes.. so i was like... hmmm... 8) so i tried to turn one of them into a lady.. and it worked and i was like

Then i woke up.

Entry 20
=======

Well i've run out of space in my book so i couldn't write this down which means i've forgotten most of it.

But basically i remember being Jack Bauer again (from 24)...and i was in this big house being chased by a little kid who wanted to kill me. I discovered the best way to stop him, instead of fighting him.. was to get out my Nintendo Gamecube and let him play on it. And it worked.
