Thread: The Vertigo Dream Journal

No dreams last night, woke up too violently (two alarms, then fell out of bed onto a lamp that had fallen on the ground.) If I did, I wouldn't remember.

Dream 5-14-04

Setting: Five Star Cinema

Started the dream at a movie theatre not unlike th one in my hometown. I was listening to the ticket window worker tell some kid that he couldn't get into the movie because he wasn't eighteen. Then suddenly my friend appeared and got his tickets (he wasn't there before.) I followed up by getting my own and the went to call my house. My dad answered in his work voice and I asked him why and he said that he needed to work at home today because he was ordered to. Got into a small fight about gong to the movies and hung up on him. I had an extremely arrogant feeling running through me. Ran into a man and his son (literally) and knocked his son over. I yelled at the man for his apparent error and he threatened to kill me. My friend pulled me away from the scene as if to be the voice of reason. Upon trying to enter the movie, I found myself at a phone and couldn't figure out how to 'enter' the movie. I pressed 0, which had a blue glow and 'enter' beneath the button and had a 'binary Green Screen' Matrix moment and literally rolled into the movie theatre. What I believed was Matrix Revolutions was on the screen and I went to sit down, feeling as though something was after me. Woke up.

Feelings: Arrogance, ignorance, anger and nervousness
Characters: Best friend, angry burly man, his son, ticket window assistant. Young Woman (at the phone) Voice of father.

Points where I knew something had to be wrong but dismissed it (in the dream) : The Phone (Dad working at home) The 2nd phone (heading into the 'Matrix'), the arrival of my friend from no where.

I forgot to mention, I have no problem with people posting replies in my journal.

DREAM ONE: Typing

All I remember is the same Hamlen from above trying to figure out how I was typing so fast without looking at the keyboard. I had no answer for him

DREAM TWO: Execution

I was walking about in a somber manner, as if I had done something wrong. I was taken by guards to a place filled with people and told I was to be executed by my sister's husband. It was strange indeed because I was aware I had done something prior, perhaps, I thought, in another dream(?!), to deserve this. Still I did not become lucid because I let it slip. I watched a few people get electrocuted and then when it came up to me the scene changed. No real emotion here, just kind of acceptance if not worry. Can't remember much after that.

Setting: The Mind (no true setting)
Date: 5-15-04

I was standing around on a pretty much blank plane (blackness with a light floor) talking with a few friends. My best friend, who appears constantly in my dreams, looked quite frightened of something. I began talking to someone called B, whose name I will not disclose, that I know in real life about dreaming. He said he could fly and become lucid at will, so I challenged him and of course he did it. I walked back over to my friend, discouraged. He was shouting "It's coming, the pain, the PAIN!" and I suppose it was meant as one of my other friends who has many many problems because he collapsed when the source came near him.

I confronted this source and it touched me, and I was taken in. First came a swirl of colors, red, black, yellow, blue, white... and then I was on another white plane, watching a girl walking down a plane, shifting from a black hue to a deep white hue (not skin wise, the whole body, eyes included), As I watched this I said "No... wait a minute, WAIT... This can't be right." and I thought "I must be dreaming!"

It hit me like a brick, everything started to clear up, and I wasn't nearly as excited, but I had a false awakening (I believe.) for I looked at my hand and twisted a finger and it literally disappeared behind itself and swung back around. I woke up then.

I'm getting closer.

It may be worthy to note that I -did- fly in the dream, but I was non-lucid.

Nothing Big, two small blips due to interrupted and irregular sleep

The deodrant and the driver

Just remember getting yelled at for putting on MASSIVE amounts of deodrant on my body for no reason, then going to my old Driver's Ed class and seeing the teacher with spiky hair staring at me before I wokr up.

EDIT: Okay maybe I lied, I just remembered a full dream.

Dream Two: The Inflating Canoe

Setting: Home

It was a dark night and I for some reason, wanted to go outside and go in my canoe that is parked by a pond in the back of my house (all factual). So I went out in my canoe for a little while and came back to shore, where my best friend (who has shown up in a majority of these dreams) and his friend who is a car junkie were sitting waiting for me. They asked if theye could 'inflate' the canoe and I was dead against it but I said okay anyway for some reason. I must have questioned this because I remember thinking "What the hell is this guy talking about?"

So then they say "We're going to inflate the motorcycle." and I basically said "F this." and went back into the house. I was then sent a whole bunch of pictures on my computer (that wasn't on) of an motorcycle with hugely inflated tires being sent about. I got a call then after recieving pictures of a red 98 Grand Am being inflated saying "Dude, you totally reacted the wrong way to this, it was awesome." from my friend. I just shrugged it off and then surprisingly enough, woke up.


Snippet

I had a memory while writing this which is probably not related to the same dream so I wrote it down seperately. I was basically 'in the clouds' with a bunch of people in a village of some sort, picking things up. Everytime I'd pick something up though, some rugged young woman in green would come and try to steal it, but it wasn't regular stealing, it was like I was playing a game because she'd blink (out of existence) when she stole something. Kind of interesting because it was vivid. I just never bothered to ask if anything was wrong. Just have to remember that.

Dream: Driving

Short blip, remember driving with an old lady and she was scrutinzing me

All quiet on the front. Dreams'll come tomorrow and I have one that isn't here.

I did it again, this time I was able to float away.

I was standing in my house, and I was looking about, something cued me to the fact that I was dreaming, what it was I now have no idea. I started to feel the area change, and I held Lucidity for a moment, holding a conversation with my dad who was standing there, but then began to float away and lost lucidity.

Fishin'

All I really remember is being out of a lake searching for fish. I was being constantly harassed about the size of the small fish I was catching. I would catch them but in groups, all the same. It was strange. I never caught anything bigger then six inches, if that. Woke up disappointed.

I just woke up from the greatest LD I've had, ever. I slipped in and out but I knew I was dreaming. I did one thing wrong (because I believe I was semi-concious during the experience. as in, hovering on the brink). It was on the end of a nap after another dream wihich takes the second seat today.

Dream One: Lucidity, The Woman, and the doubts of the man

I was sleeping in bed when I was first in the dream, looking up at the walll. Nothing big, nothing at all. Rolled over to look at my monitor, the one that I am typing on right now. It was off and it was the wrong shade and version of monitor. It was my old monitor! This tipped me off to dreaming so without thinking I jumped up onto thebed and looked around.

First, to make sure I wasn't completely insane, I walked over to the wall and did the old "hand through object test." It was something I did the first time I was lucid that seemed to stick (I put my fingers through my other hand). So my hand stuck through the wall. I then felt the scene cleaning up, but not in the way I wanted, it was as if I was waking up, although I was (and am) in a completely dark room. So I closed my eyes and spun a few times, knowing that I would end up at another spot or, perhaps another spot of the room.

Oddly enough, when I opened my eyes I looked up to the ceiling and said "Hmm, lets fly." Why? I don't know. I couldn't get it at first, I thought maybe the whole experience was some odd trick on my mind, and nealy ready to give up. I said "UP!" nothing. "UP!" a little lift "UP!" up to the cieling and just as I braced for the ceiling I said Up one final time and was in what looked to be a compact version of my attic. I heard my own voice talking to me, asking my what I wanted to do and I said "I want to see someone." essentially. I 'woke up.'

Of course, I hadn't woken up, and even if I had, in the hazy dream (which is how I made it by falsifying the clearing up) I was back in bed and this time I was ready for action. I repeated all the steps from before and this time instead of having difficulty flying, I had difficulty keeping myself level enough with the ground.

I gave a thought of a "beautiful room." which made my room a wooden floored version of the same room with less inside of it and a beautiful bed. On the television was a woman, the woman I had asked for more then once now. It was kind of goofy because I was going to the bed, sitting down and writhing (for some reason this was one thing I couldn't control at first, but everytime I started slipping, I came back and was able to) And then the lady appeared before me. A beautiful black haired goddess with intellect I could 'sense' a mile away. Amazed I had done this myself I guess it was enough to wake me up because that was all there was.

Signs: The monitor color changing.


Dream Two: The Odd Chase

I was on a trail on some park (as far as I knew) and I was riding with a girl so now called A, and a couple other people who I did not know. We were coming from C's party (which is someplace I may or may not go tonight) and I let her (for some reason, although we both only had our permits) drive my 'car' which was a crappy lil' jeep. So I guess she must have been doing something wrong because we were being followed by another jeep with people in tan uniforms in the front and the top down.

So I woke up here, and wanted to see what was going to happen next, so I resumed my nap with all intentions of going back to the dream. She was screaming when I got there, "What'd I do! What'd I do?!" and all I could think of was "my car! my car! She got me in trouble IN MY CAR." We finally slowed down to a stop and the people in the back said "STAY RIGHT THERE." They were across a ledge...

I woke up... and then fell back asleep, still intrigued, into the lucid dream described above.

Some things I noticed in theis blurry afternoon nap had to be that when I think about LD's lightly, they will come, and easier during naps. I had the preset to actually have one -tonight- but witht he half day I decided maybe only six hours away from bed would prep me better for a 2 hour nap. Good times.

5-29-04

Dream One: The Gym

Short blip. My gym teacher was yelling about our clothing and demanding that we change our whole outfit, including some weird yellow belt.

Dream Two: The games
This was a short of dumb dream. I stole a cart full of old NES games from GameStop and was sifting through them at home. I'm not sure why I didn't go lucid while doing this. Strange thing: All the games actually existed.

Dream Three: The Old Arcade Owner
The man was in a large arcade that was elaborate and had many games in it. There was however, no DDR, which was odd. He kept saying that he was too old to care about the place and he didn't really play at all. He said that it was just a place to go. There were some awesome machines there and an odd version of Asteroid was played.

No lucidity tonight but that's alright, it'll come

5-30-04

The Video Store

Feels like a continuation of last nights dream. I was in a video store witrh family trying to pick out a movie for Memorial day. I was looking at various cases and questioning whether they were "good movies." Every time I'd question a crowd in the distance would either boo or cheer. It was quite fun.

I then to look at a small rack of videogames. The cases were old, and I knew this, I thought perhaps Home Vision had sold them to whatever store I was at. I saw Zelda in one case, empty, orginal. The rest I didn't care to look at. At this point my Chem prof. walked in and started talking about how he needed to find a movie for his wife, and consulted my family.

He talked about how I wasn't doing well and was lazy, and generalyl bashed me into the ground. I had a feeling of sadness then. I woke up after some more time, after saying goodbye to him.

No lucidity.

5-31-04
Dream One (only): Metallica Concert

I was standing int he crowd with my best friend at a Metallica concert. It was a small gathering in a light colored room and the set list consisted of mostly old music, such as Creeping Death, Master of Puppets and most notably, Leper Messiah. This is notable because it comes back later.

After the concert, my friend pushes through the small crowd and to the merchandise counter where what looked like Lars was selling merchandise to the fans.Once it got up to me there was much to look for and I was indecisive. For the purposes of remembering this dream I'll list what I remember

T-Shirt's
Master of Puppets Tour Tee
'Slither' shirt (Unforgiven Noose T-shirt with arms replaced with long snakes)
'Scary Guy' t-shity.
Leper Messiah Touring Company Shirt.

Posters
Flaming Skull Poster (Orange)
Flaming Skull Poster (Red)

Videos
Cunning Stunts
Cliff 'Em Off

Now there was a conversation which went on between a red headed 'man' I know and myself with his girlfriend at his side

Man: Hey, is that Devin?

Lars: Hello?

Me (Distracted): Yeah yeah, whose this?

Man: Did you go to _____?

Me: Yes I did, why?

Man: Do you remember Ryan Wogan?

Man #2 (Shiel): Hey Lars, can I get a Daffy Duck shotglass set?

Lars: No. Haha.

Shiel: (Laughing): I knew it.

Wogan: Yeah! Cool! Hey you going to buy something?

Lars: Yeah kid, c'mon.

Friend: He's distracted

Me: I don't know (glanced at the Leper Messiah Tour shirt and moved away, cut in front of by a blonde woman.)

Wogan: I guess he's sittin down to talk, that's coo.... *alarm goes off*


Then I woke up. Strange but vivid dream.

6-1-04

Dream One

Walking outside with my friend, I find myself staring out into the darkness. My friend is suddenly gone replaced with another. She wants to swim. I take her to the pond out back and we dive in. It was an oddly clear water and it only took a few minutes.

Short but sweet, it was a different sort of dream with many feelings running through.


Dream Two

At school, my friend and I were walking again and nothing really happened. I did however feel as if my friend was hacking up another boy's body and chucking it in a potting fire... Kind of weird.

Dream OF 6-3: The Teeth.

Features
Lack of self
Perspective unusual


Lcd:0 Vvd:9 Con:2 Sta:9



Walking down a hallway I'm contemplating something. I don't see myself but I can see my mouth for some reason. I have very little control of what is going on, little to none.

I end up talking to someone and they comment about my teeth. I reach up and I feel just stubs of teeth. I suppose I am getting angry at this point because I just grab the edge of my gums, which are hanging on the far right side and rip them clean of my mouth, onto the floor. Wake up.

Dream One: The Mall

Wandering through a seemingly empty mall, I feel as though I should be somewhere else. For no reason whatsoever I begin to feel gleeful and run about in a random store, in the process, knocking down to diamonds from their display cases (I ran though them) and setting off an alarm. I ran all the way out of the mall and into another section where my friend was waiting... Nothing else.

6-7-04: Finals

I began the dream wondering around outside Windham. My friend picked me up and offered to take me over for some food. I went with her and she ordered her food and it just wasn't coming. An hour passed dream time and I asked her what the hell was going on. She said she was sorry, and she'd give me a ride out.

So she did, and when she arrived where I wanted her to (my school) I remember her asking where it was and I said "You can't miss it, it's the trailer park!" (Inside joke) She pulled to the shoulder and I got out.


From here I was pacing outside in a grassy field. It progressed to me feeling like I needed to step inside the school that was in front of me. I knew Finals were going on so I was cautious. I stepped into this dark hallway and began to walk straight to nothing. I saw a bus driver I knew walking down the hallway and could somehow feel she hated me. I was here because I thought I had a period six final, which I didn't.

I walked into a room at the end of the hallway and sat down at a table in what was literally a filled cafeteria. None of my friends were there of course, well, none that would associate with me in the open. I rather reluctantly sat at the end of a table where two women, one blonde, and one brown haired, were sitting. Both looked thin and somewhat deformed at the same time. I kept looking over at a group of people where some I know that I somewhat like was sitting, they were listening to Machine Head, or at least I assumed. I pulled out of thin air my CD player and case and produced a burned cd first.

The songs that played were odd. First was Love Shack, followed by two rap songs I can't remember. The two girls were talking the whole time about seemingly nothing. I kept looking back at the girl across the way, and no, she never changed in appearance that I could notice. I soon switched the CD to Machine Head myself, The Burning Red to be more specific. As soon as I did and the 'song' began playing the girls were staring at me. I ignored them at first, thinking them to be harassing me. Then I heard __________ Cafe.... I took my headphones off "What?" I asked. "We need to go to the front lawn cafeteria." This was somewhat funny to me because we WERE in the front lawn (I knew that much.) I nodded anyway.

Next came a friend from past time, he had visited the school my last day (Monday) so that might explain why he was in the dream. He offered to pick up my bags for me (which again, had magically appeared) just because I had so much to carry. I said okay. He picked up my laptop bag and flung it to the ground. I was in shock. Then I looked over to the table where I was sitting and the Laptop was there.

"Why's it so light?!" he asked as he picked it up and walked out the door. I took my backpack and felt the heaviness. "Because you didn't take the laptop, jackass." I remarked to myself as I left, thinking I'd come back for the machine.

When we arrived at the 'front lawn' or moreso 'appeared' there, it was the cafeteria of my old school and R. was there already with my bags. I looked around and laughed... and woke up.

Interesting dream.

The car and the bus

My friend and I were sitting in my house quite bored when I first entered the dream. He claimed to me that he was going to get some pizza and would be right back. I let him go, even though for some reason he was flashing a permit. He didn't return for a while and I began to worry that maybe the pizza wouldn't get there. It was just down the road! So, I comandeered a school bus that was coming down my road and drove down and got the pizza. I brought it back and waited some more, eating three pieces along the way.

He did not return, and his 'ride' was there honking the horn. I once again took the bus and took off, searching for my friend, to no avail. Funny though, when I woke up.<!--sizeo:9--><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->[/size][size=7]<!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

Tyson Dream

Had a short dream where I turned on the PS2 and Tyson vs. Holyfield was on. Tyson was hurt in the corner and was waving his hat around (black bowler) and Holyfield was saying it was the end. That was all.

More later.

Workin double shifts for the man

I got a job at a nearby Staples and was scheduled to work. So I went into work and my friend was working there as well. He showed me the ropes and the next thing I remember I was scrubbing the floor with a rag. The floor was marble tiles.

So the lunch break came around and instead of taking a ride I decided to walk down to my sisters house. I arrived and much to my surprise there was another baby in the house and she treated it as if it were a godsend. I tried to ask her what happened to my niece but she blew me off and said nothing was wrong. I sat down to have lunch, and then headed back to work, quite aware that I was late in getting back.

I had a hard time finding the place again, and my vest kept changing from Staples, to Wal-Mart, to Home depot and I was getting upset. When I finally found it, my friend was standing outside the store. "You're late! you were supposed to be here twenty minutes ago." I tried to sympathize, he blew out a sigh and walked away. I scrubbed the floor, with my arm, I woke up.

1...06-17-2004...Nate and Chaotic

Description:
I was standing in the Maine Mall with my parents, and I was quite blankly thinking of nothing. Suddenly I decided to walk away and turned a corner, seeing the Chaotic Wrestling crew in a side room full of seats. The crowd was enormous and they were hailing the new seats that they had put in, which looked square and uncomfortable. It looked like there was a balcony behind me and I went and look and the man said 'Hey! Everyone site there!' and they all cheered.

The man said that there was a few minutes before the show so I went to get my friend Nate who I hadn't seen in a while becaue I thought he'd like to see the show. He was happy about it and I could see that he wanted to go so I went to my dad, who was sitting in the food court, and told him I needed money to go to the show. I myself had the money but Nate did not. On a side note, a girl with pink hair who was slim showed up out of no where and handed Nate $3 and I was somewhat upset. I did get the money and went back. Nate was getting ready to sit down... and I woke up.

The Tajiri Effect

Simple dream, watching TV, NWA-TNA's Impact show I presume and the announce "Team Japan." as Ultimo Dragon, Tajiri and Miyomoto. I remember thinking "Something's not right." but I left it at that.

The Pepsi Prediciment

This was another short dream I just remembered. I reached into my refrigerator, which wasn't normal, it was like a mini-fridge, and pulled out a diet pepsi. My friend looks at me as I offer him this drink and pulls out a can of 'normal' Pepsi and says 'EWW, Diet Pepsi!" and flashes a cheesy grin, holding his in the air. Kind of funny.[/i]

Dream: The Silverware Troop

Setting: THE KITCHEN

This has to be the weirdest dream I've had in quite a long while, and since then. This happened in March. I did not actually participate visually other than a hand. The Silverware conspired with me to destroy the glass. I willingly destroyed the glass in the kitchen for a while, then turned on the silverware and killed the fork (their leader.) I have NO idea where this came from, or what kind of sign it could be.

Hi,

I was looking on the net for a sample dream, which I can quote in my speech about Lucid Dreaming at a young college auditory, when I came across your dream. I am truly amused by its unusual content. I would like to ask for your permission to reprint only this dream on a handout with some guidelines for improving dream recall and keeping dream journal, which I am preparing for my auditory.

If you don't mind, please, let me know. My e-mail address is: isabela@casa.as

Thank you and good luck with your dream journeys!

Dream One: Parmakian and the movie

A little backstory here, I had the same math teacher for thee years and I consider him somewhat of a master at his art and a good man to say the least. So it's not unlike me to have a weird dream.

I was sitting in a dark classroom, and. Mr. P walked in and began to ask me how things were going. I could only respond simply that they were going. He kept asking odd questions and the purpose I was there didn't make sense then suddenly he said "We're going to watch a movie kids, it's th Eeyore movie!" you know, Pooh-Bear's depresssed friend. We began to watch and I remember thinking how stupid it was and waking up

Dream Two: Wal-Mart of the new Millenium

I remember walking through Wal-Mart at the start of the dream, for no particular reason. At least, it looke like wal-mart. There were many oddities there. As I walked I noticed different nationalities of food were being cooked all around the store. There was a Korean open fryer, an italian store, a Chinese open fryer, and many many more. I can't remember why I was there, I just remember I was there with my mother, who I never saw. I think I was looking for potting soil or something to the effect.

The oddest thing I've ever experienced in a dream would come up next. I was walking down one of the many aisles and I saw what I discerned as a middle-eastern mother and daughter, although they looked just liked Koreans (skin tone, etc) The mother was old and the wrinkles were noticeable but she stood tall. The daughter was young and wide eyed, and wearing a finely made dress. She was reaching for something, a rope looped around one of the hangers. There were many many of these strings or ropes about. She reached for one that looked like it was in my reached so being kind I reached for it and well, didn't get it because suddenly I was too short. The young girl grabbed it herself.

I felt bad and I looked at her, as if to say I was sorry and she just laughed and pointed at my shoe. I was perplexed and she reached down and seemingly pulled the shoelace from it and placed a new maroon one in, in an odd fashion. When I asked her why I heard the simplest response that rang down to my soul. "Because I'm a child." I laughed this time, looked at her and turning away. 'Because you're a child," I said, "Of course."

I found myself walking past all the food related areas again, past the bread baking on the open stove, which someone ran by and stole some of. The Koreans answered that by throwing baked chicken at the man. I was still pondering about the shoe and the girl when I woke up.

The dream itself was very vivid, although I couldn't smell the smells I could see, heard and touch much. Smell seems to be constantly disabled in my dreams.

The Earth's Demention

This was a two part dream. The first paer was me and my friend watching WWE programming (seems to be in my dreams a lot lately -.-) and The Undertaker comes on the TV. He is holding in his hand a miniature version of Planet Earth, tossing it up and down. I became worried at this point, but knowing WWE was entertainment, tried to pass that by. The man threw it up into the air, through the atmosphere and my view changed to the Sun, where the Mini-earth landed.

The next day I woke up and spoke to someone who told me it was extrmeely hot. I told them what I hhad seen and they said "well damn! We're screwed then, the Ozone will rot, and we're all going to die!" The person was folding laundry. End Dream

Riding with the Blonde

This dream was somewhat strange, I was in a car next to a rather finre-looking Blonde woman who was around my age if not a bit older, and her brother, who was played by someone barely know from School. We talked for a while and I began to feel closer in a sense to her. Then she began to turn on the radio, and lo and behold, she listened to Megadeth. I was shocked. As the ride went on though her true colors would show, and when we stopped the car she would quickly dismiss me as nothing.

Good dreams.
