Thread: Queen Zukin's Dream Journal

Went camping with Kestrel so am a bit behind. didn't sleep well that weekend though

July 20th

Rollercoasters!

I forgot how I became lucid, but I did and proceeded to fly in the air to find Dionysus and finally win a drinking battle against him. I flew up into the clouds and began looking for the silo, but I saw a rollercoaster park instead. This could prove to be awesome.

I flew down to the amusement park and landed beside a red rollercoaster. It reminded me a lot of Roller Coaster Tycoon. Everyone was lined up in the same que styled fashion and some people looked digital. Knowing it was a dream, I rushed to the front of the line and got in the next available seat. Even though I knew it was a dream, I could still feel being afraid of heights and appreciated the realism. I'm in a lazy mood, so I'll tl;dr and say that the rollercoaster was great to ride. Kestrel and I went next to a supposed 3D rollercoaster, but it was a bit of a shame. We ran to a pizza place (cutting in line again, ofc) but I woke up right after sinking my teeth into that beautiful slice. I think I DEILD'd back into another lucid, but I can't remember well since I'm just now writing this down the day after.

July 21

demon on the porch

I was at my parents' house and the electricity was out. The house was spooky. I got a call from my father that there was something wrong with my mother and sister, and he thought that a demon was out to eat them. I frantically rushed about in the dark house trying to find them but there was no evidence of them whatsoever. When I came back downstairs, I looked through the backdoor window and saw a tall humanoid silhouette standing on the porch. I was pissed off that it had messed with my family, so I opened the door and rushed at it with a furious attack scream. Its face was pretty hideous. I woke up mid-scream, screaming IRL.

really, really angry

I was really angry at someone, which is rare, because I hardly ever get angry-angry.

Minecraft Dream

I was in a Minecraft map that had a dragon that would appear ever so often and wreak havoc on everything and everyone it could find. We tried to make houses to hide away from it, but it could sniff us out and kill us. The houses were actually pretty extravagant, looking more real-life than game visuals.

Gorilla

My mom adopted a gorilla. And two cheetahs. And several parakeets. And a couple monkeys. I got to know the gorilla really well. We became super tight, speaking in sign language. He was like a brother to me. I became really sad when I realized that I am about to be moving across the country in a couple weeks and realized that this gorilla would no longer have a friend, since my mom had no longer been paying attention to any of the animals that she adopted. I knew that taking the gorilla to my apartment was not an option. I felt really sad, since both the gorilla and I had become so close that it would be tragic to lose such a friend.

Flying with my hoops

I discovered that I could fly with my hula hoops, which should have caused a RC but didn't. I even thought about the possibility of it being a dream, but disregarded it.

Red Tattoo

The tattoo on my leg became red and really, really faded looking. I visited the tattoo artist but he turned into Eugene Lang from Buzzfeed. He was renting an office in our university stacks. I told him what had happened to my tattoo, but he only offered to go out for drinks later.

Unexpected Visitor

I was at my mother's house when I heard a knock on the door. I immediately thought it was a package that I had been expecting. I opened the door and to my great surprise an acquaintance of mine stood before me. I introduced him to my mother and asked him how his study abroad experience had been. I really hadn't been expecting to see him and wondered how he got my address.

Bunnies

I was at my mom's house when a couple of white rabbits hopped into the kitchen and to the living room. I think my mom wanted to adopt them like she did the gorillas, hahaha. I was playing with them for awhile when I noticed that on their tongues were long black spikes. They had the same creepy spike material on their feet too. It was creepy, but I let them craw on me anyways.

Dizzy

I was on top of a really tall scaffold with a couple housemates and Kestrel. We were waiting for someone to pick us up. I started to get really dizzy - like "I've had way too much to drink" kind of dizzy. I laid down and they helped me walk down the scaffold and I collapsed from dizzyness when we reached the ground.

My sister

My sister was visiting. We had just gotten back in the car from seeing a movie at the theater. We got into some kind of argument, like we usually do, and she started to swerve the car around the parking lot. I knew she was just trying to provoke a fear reaction, so I sat back, pretended nothing was happening, and refused to let her feed off my energy.

Floppy Breadsticks

I was lucid (bad recall on how it came about). I wanted to find Dionysus once and for all and finally kick his ass at his own game. I flew into the air and looked for that all too familiar silo. I flew across miles of farms and attempted to land, but the land turned into giant floppy bread sticks in the water. I sat on a floppy bread stick that was floating in the ocean and just closed my eyes for a second. I realized how surprisingly clear my mind was and enjoyed it and the sun while I sat on my floppy breadstick in the ocean.

July 29

Loaf of Bread

I puppy walked into my parents' house. Naturally, we adopted it because we've been doing that the past few dreams anyways. My puppy turned into a kitten and I loved it very much. I realized that I am moving away very soon and my new apartment wouldn't allow pets. But maybe I could sneak it in.

I snuck the kitten into the new apartment and was dismayed to find that the single room I was promised turned out to be just four people living in one big room. To make matters worse, my kitten turned into a sliced loaf of bread and died. I cried, a lot. Ginger just laughed at that IRL and now he is going to sleep on the other side of the bed. Just kidding. I love you.

July 30

Starlight

It was the middle of the night and I was visiting the Shut Ins National Park. I was on the hunt for some kind of frog, for whatever reason. I looked out at the starry night and saw a projection of the United States map in the sky. WTF. But it was kind of pretty. I took a picture. Soon it was morning and a park ranger told me that I didn't have a parking pass and I would have to pay a fine. I realized that I had driven all the way to Missouri in Kestrel's van. Shit. I looked for the keys but they were nowhere. I literally looked the entire park and then checked my pockets again and there they were. Derp.

I got in the car and drove away without paying the ticket. But the car was way out of my control and I started hitting people left and right. I even ran over a motorcyclist. My initial reaction was to freak out - of course - but I realized that this was probably a dream and that I needed to calm the fuck down. I was especially hinted to the fact that this was probably a dream when a scene from Grand Turismo started playing on Kestrel's dashboard. So I just calmed the f down (no reality check, tho) and kept hitting people on my merry way home.

just some backflips

I knew that I was dreaming - shitty recall on how it happened, though it was a low level lucid anyways. Ginger and Kestrel were with me and we went flying outside. There was a gothic cathedral outside. Kestrel and I had (in iRL) watched Nightmare on Elm Street Dream Warriors the night before, so I still had that on my mind. I decided to master my backflips. I think later we were in a room doing something else...lost lucidity when I got distracted by my housemates.

mysterious lucid #1

I don't remember this one very much, much I remember being not very appreciative of Ginger when he rolled over and woke me up from it.

mysterious lucid #2

Same as above.

ALL the food!

I was washing my hands in the bathroom when I noticed that the soap dispensers looked weird. I did a reality check - dreaming. I walked down the hall with Kestrel and was happy to find that our house was connected to a restaurant! There was so much good looking food! Since I was lucid, I decided to eat ALL THE FOOD.

The restaurant was crowded and the food on people's plates looked spectacular. There was chicken and turkey and everything. But what caught my eye was the desserts. In a glass case they presented their options. There was chocolate mousse, Oreo mousse, pumpkin mousse, and a bowl of what looked like colorful Bubble Tea bubbles. I ordered ALL of them.

Kestrel and I sat down at a wooden table and our waiter brought us our treasures. I was in total heaven. I love food. So much. Everything tasted so fabulous. The waiter even brought out a bowl of green and yellow bubbles (from Bubble Tea or etc) as a dessert. It tasted like a completely new taste. It was very sweet but earthy. I couldn't believe that I was actually feeling full. This was a dream! I wasn't supposed to be able to feel full!

We got up from the table and looked around the other parts of the restaurant. The walls had tanks full of fish and lobster.

This Exact Same School Dream Again

I keep having the same dream OVER and OVER again. It always follows the same plot: I'm back in high school (4-5 years ago) and I'm probably going to be late but I don't care. But I don't have a way to get home, since the bus routes no longer go to my neighborhood. What's even weirder is that I have the exact same class schedule in every dream - though I've never had this schedule IRL. First thing in the morning is my 8th grade math teacher, then a lab class if it's a Tuesday, otherwise it is a social studies class and then an English class. WTF.

This dream specifically focused on the lab portion (though I also got to, unfortunately, experience the rest of the school day as well). My lab partner and I had to measure the rate of cooling between different species of liquefied metal. Our thermometer wasn't working right and we were crunched for time. I also had to finish two ten page essays that night. It wasn't a happy day.

Running

Ginger and I were running through a woody area near campus. I looked down and saw that I was wearing my boot (I broke my foot a couple days ago IRL). I realized that my foot was now mostly healed and I could run again! This was amazing! I ran happily with Ginger. And then I woke up and had to pee. I got on my crutches and tripped and fell.

The past while has been super shitty since I broke my foot, which means I'm crutching all day, which means my wrists hurt too bad to type up my dreams by the time I have some free time. Luckily, I'm typing up my adventures early today. Because my adventures last night were super weird...

I typed about half of this up before I got called in for surgery, finishing it now

Little Stone House

I don't recall how, but I became lucid. I was determined to finish the Dionysus ToTY, so I flew overhead above neighborhoods and scouted out a possible Dionysus lair. I came to a little stone house and knocked on the door. My recall is iffy here since it happened in the early part of the night and I didn't write anything down in the morning. I think that I may have woken up, though.

Freddy Krueger

I was being stalked by Freddy Krueger. I was lucid, but it was still creepy. I was in a cafeteria-basement. He was standing on the other side of the room and I was telepathically making DCs fight him for me. He was laughing it all off. I realized that I could flip this situation to my advantage and make HIM into Dionysus!

So, and I can't believe I'm typing this, I seduced Freddy Krueger. Because every time I try to challenge Dionysus to a drinking contest, I wind up trying to get laid instead. So why should this time be any different? In my defense, he wasn't burned-looking. He actually looked pretty normal despite his claw hands.

I lured him to his hot and steamy boiler room. [writing this post-op now] His Freddy Krueger guise melted off and I could see he was someone who was going through some heavy stuff. He kept trying to cut me with his knive-fingers and I bled. It was rough. Too lazy to go into detail.

demonic vampires

Some kind of cult of vampires who were possessed by demons. They were taking over the world.

Bernard

Was lucid and being stalked by that Freddy Krueger character again. Since it was a dream and I had remembered the previous dream where I realized there was a real person under that mask, I just melted off the mask and demanded him to tell me his name. He was super reluctant, but told me I could call him Bernard.

Pools and Stuff

I was walking on a street, lucid. Came into a building with three indoor pools. Felt like I was being watched and throughout the entire dream I recognized the same faces over and over again. I turned things into cake and ate them. I'm too lazy to post all of them, but I had had lucids before this one with Bernard so I called his name and he appeared out of thin air. He appeared with three other military-uniformed people. Told me to be careful of pulling people out of dreams like that, as he was clearly involved in one. They ran out with the three military guys chasing and shooting after him.

Once in a Green Moon

Kestrel was really excited to show me a place that she had discovered. It was about a town over and through the woods. The roadways were flooded with water and people were boating and swimming in them. It looked like a lot of fun so we went to swim in the water. Kestrel was very excited about all of this and wanted to show her parents. I rode with her to pick up her parents and we headed back to the flooded city. On the way back, I was looking up into the sky when I noticed that the moon was green! How very curious! I kept looking at it and noticed that it was also spurting green slime! The moon was definitely getting closer and closer to us.

Another School Dream

I was in high school again. It was the end of the day, and like all of these previous school dreams, I was racing to get to the afternoon bus home even though I knew that they could only get me halfway to my house. This time, I was particularly struggling with all of the books I had to carry and my locker was all jammed up.

Alien Groupon

Kestrel had bought a groupon for a vacation. Except it wasn't like a cruise or anything. Essentially, you would go to a warehouse where they would anesthetize you and your friends and transport your mind to a virtual reality game. In the game, you were locked in a crashed spaceship (that had fallen back down to Earth) with your team mates. The world had been taken over by alien zombies with super powers. So it pretty much really sucked to leave the spaceship at all.

Flooded City

Kestrel was driving my parents and I on a narrow road that was becoming increasingly more flooded. It seemed that there was a lake right off the side of the road that was flooding badly. I was really afraid that we were going to slide off of the road and drown in our car.

So Freddy's real name is Bernard :O

I'm typing this up on my phone while waiting for something to start IRL. Most of my dreams lately have had the common element of me discovering that my foot is no longer broken and I can frolic and dance to my hearts content. Those are nice dreams until I wake up. I slept really good last night but can't remember much. The night before I dreamed that I was a man who worked as a car mechanic. My girlfriend pulled her car in and told me that there was a severed hand in the trunk and she didn't know what to do with it. Well I also didn't know so we took a cross country flight where we had an orgy at the back of the plane.

Phone again. Dreamed that Ginger discovered that he could... Erm...vibrate. This lead to some interesting expeditions later...
Had another dream where I again discovered that I could walk again! At least my recurring high school dreams are gone now.

I need to start physically writing down my dreams again now that I am all moved in to my new apartment. Especially because last night I had one that I should have remembered. The part of the dream that lingers the most is the memory of someone else's energy. I remember the feeling perfectly, but the contents of the dream are a scrambled loss. Before that, I remember dreaming about moving out of my old apartment-house. It was raining and there were grave statues in the yard. After I had to go to work, but some reality television producers brought in a case full of - I REMEMBER NOW

wtf

I was in a three story warehouse/school/house/something. There were a lot of people there, I think they were students. There was a school shooter and I was hiding in the basement where there was a bunch of boxes, but the energy-feeling wasn't coming from the school shooter. I still can't identify where it was coming from! The school shooter must've been a DC, especially since I had a hunch about what he was going to do beforehand. Whoever's energy it was, it came from a young man. The energy felt black and green (not in a bad way). I think I may have befriended him at some point, and I think this may have been back in the restaurant, or a kitchen? There was something else in the restaurant/kitchen that was capturing my attention and something/someone else(DC-wise) that was asking me a lot of questions.

Eh now I can't remember anything else!

I meant to get lucid last night and catch the little butterfly that swam through my dream last night, but couldn't become lucid. I guess my subconscious is still (very reasonably) preoccupied with having moved away to a different state, starting pharmacy school, and having a broken foot. I'll try again tonight!

Hooping in the Shower

I was in a big, dark room full of showers. They were communal-shower styled and the lights were off. Someone had brought glow sticks in the room and turned on music. People were dancing and of course I was hula hooping. I discovered that I had the ability to levitate if I hooped a certain way and figured out how to do a neat leg trick. There were also ceiling fans and I was trying hard not to get hit by them. At one point, a new group of people had walked in and there was a small Asian guy watching me hula hoop. I usually don't care when people watch me hula hoop, but this time I was naked so it was a little bit weirder but whatever. Some girls also had the bright idea to plug in a hairdryer and then drop it in the water.

A Small Overreaction

I was at a dinner party where everyone had to bring their own dish. I was making the dish while at the dinner party. It was supposed to be a stir fry with chicken and beef, but the recipe also called for smoking it. Kestrel and Ginger were both there helping to make the dish alongside me. It was really crowded so we went to the apartment nextdoor to cook our meal. Our host had told us that the apartment owners were away on vacation and they wouldn't mind if we borrowed their stove.

We went outside on the porch while we waited for our meal to cook. I looked to the right and noticed a redneck man sitting on his porch. There was a giant hamster wheel in his front yard and bunnies were running on it. Strange. He yelled some derogatory comments at us and so we went back inside.

While I was stressing about finishing the meal in time, Ginger said something to me that I took major offense to. Instead of talking it out like I rational person, I left everything on the stove and ran out the door crying. I ran out the apartment and past the redneck and down the street. I was so distraught that I joined the circus. I'm not kidding.

I became an apprentice to the circus's pharmacist. We specialized in cats. We would take cats that had been abused and used as cat-fighters and we tried to hypnotize them into being normal cats. It almost never worked. One day, the pharmacist let me in on a secret.

"I've been watching everyone here," he whispered, "and I have a hunch..."

"and??" I leaned in, curious.

"All of our staff...they are aliens," he said strongly.

Uh huh.

"Watch closely. If they keep eye contact longer than normal...They are aliens."



UHHHHH HUHHH.

I left his tent-office (appropriate, when you work in a circus) and started looking around at all of the staff. Not that I was taking his suggestion seriously, but know I couldn't stop thinking about it. I noticed quickly, actually, that they did hold eye contact longer than a normal person would. And what was stranger, was that when I maintained the eye contact, blue sparks of electricity came from their aura. I felt like they were noticing that I was catching on, so it was time to leave the circus.

I went back to the apartment and found Kestrel and Ginger still waiting on me. The contents of my food where still sitting on the stove. It (somehow) became apparent then that the apartment in which we were residing was home to aliens. Of course.

Strawberry Hula

I was with Kestrel at a restaurant. I had just eaten though, so I only ordered a drink. I thought the name of the drink was appropriate for me since it was called Strawberry Hula. Kestrel got a burger.

Lots of Pools

Ginger and I were in a mansion. The mansion had a lot of pools.

Sexy Cow

I was living in a kingdom where the princess was about to get married to her prince. Unfortunately, the prince fell off a building a died. So instead we got a new princess and she married a demon-cow, because she thought it was sexy. And to my embarrassment, I kind of agreed.

Godspeed, please.

My mother and I were driving through town. I was studying for some exam in the back seat using flashcards. We pulled over for gas, but we couldn't find the diesel. A local told us we could find it about a town over. We started driving there when the road became like a brick tunnel. We were following signs on the walls to get to the town. Somehow, my mother and I got separated and I reached the "town" before she did. Except, the town was a waiting area for an airport gate. I took a seat. My nose was super stuffed up. Sitting behind me I noticed a little girl and her bald father.

We loaded onto the plane. Kestrel and Ginger were on the plane too, sitting beside and behind me respectively. A good friend from another class was sitting in the row next to me. The plane was incredibly tiny. It probably sat around twenty people max. I kept thinking about all of those horror stories I have heard about how smaller planes are more likely to crash than bigger planes are. And it really, REALLY, didn't help that our pilot was dressed like an absolute slob. He was wearing a tattered, white T-shirt. So tattered, in fact, that it exposed half of his torso and his belly hung out. I tried to take a Snapchat picture of this to my friend to express how dire of a situation this was becoming.

The plane started moving and gaining speed, trying to take off. I noticed that we were taking off from a highway near a large city.


The Hose Man

Kestrel and I were at the mouth of a cave that had a river rushing down into it. People, even young children, were sliding down the river and into the abyss. Because we are brave and dumb, we decided to have a go at it too, even though it looked SUPER dangerous.

We slid on our butts down the very steep river/cave/mountain thing. We quickly realized that it was actually a waterslide! Someone had carved the inside of the cave into a waterslide. About 1/4 of the way down, we noticed that there was a door randomly carved into one of the cave walls.

We opened the door. The door lead to a mini-game room. The room was black and green and filled with fog. The purpose of the mini-game was that you had to run up and down a whole bunch of fire-escape-esque staircases and win six games of foosball on six different foosball tables...All while a crazy man was spraying you with a fire hose. Pretty legit.

We continued down the waterslide and it ended in giant green tents. There were activities for kids there. We went outside of the tents and found ourselves in the middle of the desert! There was no way to get back. We started walking through the desert and got really thirsty. We stumbled upon a group of campers who were willing to sell us water bottles for $55 each.

Little Crabs/Accomplice in Murder?

I was in a white room that had flooded a few inches. There were little creatures swimming in the water and I was fascinated by them. Upon further inspection, however, I noticed that there were corpses of little crabs stuck to the creatures and they didn't look very...pleasant. At all.

A relatively old man came through the doorway. I inquired about the crabs and he told me that if I spent too long here I was going to get crab corpses growing on me, too! I was thoroughly disgusted.

I think that later (or before) in this dream, this old man was a serial murderer and I was his accomplice. I had to choose what people he was going to murder, but I don't remember clearly how so.

Graveyard Party

I was with my family in the middle of a field/forest. We had bought a very old house and were renovating it. I was hanging out on the front porch, but I think I was having a problem with bees. The house gave me a creepy feeling. There was also a basement and a hall in the basement led to a large wooden door and opened up to a big, old lecture hall.

Later in the dream I was back at my family's house. I had done something very wrong, and my family decided to perform an honor killing on me. I wanted to write out some last things before I was killed. I quickly got a pen and paper and wrote out that the old house that they were renovating was very haunted. I had felt the presence of an evil black figure. The black figure was ruling over another spirit, who I felt to be a girl. I was worried about their renovations and how the spirit could hurt them.

I told my family that I would like to be buried in the backyard next to our dog. My sister shot me in the head and I was buried. I tried to stay conscious for as long as possible. I wanted to avoid losing consciousness forever and so I tried to remain 'lucid' throughout the process of dying.

After some time, I was able to separate my spirit from my body and I drifted back up above land. I figured some time had passed since now there was snow on the ground. I stepped on the snow and it was warm yet crunchy. It was like walking on rice krispies. Everything was uncannily crunchy. My consciousness even felt crunchy.

I went inside and turned on the TV, still holding onto my pseudo-lucidity. I started wondering about who else I would find on the astral plane. And then I wondered if I had a formal gravestone. I put two and two together and realized it would be a great idea to visit the graveyard. Maybe I could find other spirits there too, like me?

I zoomed through the TV and into the graveyard. The graveyard was grassy and hilly. I saw a young couple walking and I followed them closely, but they couldn't feel that I was there. I followed a lot of people but none of them could sense me.

I walked up a hill and found several other spirits sitting. I touched them, and it felt as if where I had touched them my fingers were extremely tingly/pins&needles. I thought this was really interesting, but the other spirits said that they didn't like to be touched for this reason. It felt too inhuman to them.

Lastly, I went to a classroom and messed with the students in there. I probably scared the shit out of them.

Grape Soda Beer

I was with Kestrel and Ginger and my mother. We were at a small convenience store buying single cans of beer. I was super happy when I found a can of Grape-Soda-Beer. I never knew that such things existed and I love grape soda.



Rockets and Fireworks

My sister was showcasing her new art project. We sat in the middle of the field while she detonated rockets and fireworks. It was very nice. I left since I was supposed to meet my family at a bar in my undergraduate neighborhood. I walked and walked, but it seemed so far away. About 3/4 of the way there, I ran across a man sitting on the curb. He told me that he, too, was extremely exhausted and all he could do was lay there. We chatted for awhile before I continued my journey. When I got to the bar, I noticed that it was big and crowded. It looked actually more like a restaurant and dance club. Since it was so crowded, I didn't really want to go in anymore. People had lined up even outside of the building. The bar even featured apartments above and next door, for those people who just couldn't get enough.

Groceries

I was shopping alone for groceries. Since I have a broken foot, I was riding one of those electric scooters. But mine was 10 feet too tall. I felt like a giraffe in this store. The store was also having partial power outages.

edit: EAT

I was riding with my parents to a restaurant. We decided to eat somewhere we had never been before. In real life, it looks really sketchy. There is a giant sign of a zombie and under it it says EAT. So even in real life it doesn't look that appetizing. We decided to eat there, though, in the dream. I recall pulling into the restaurant parking lot and noticing a weird amount of black cats hanging around. Behind the restaurant were remains of an old haunted asylum, and I told my parents that I would like to visit it after we ate. I discovered that I could walk again, but brought my crutches with me just in case.

Annnnd, the dream I had last night:


I was in an old house, living with a bunch of other people. It was being renovated, and I was looking through the bottom storage rooms to see if there was anything I could take up to my room on the very top floor. It was like a GUFF pile (General Unrestricted Free (Food), I believe it stands for; it's a word we use at the coop I lived at with Zukin that means it's free for the taking/using), and I wondered what kinds of things people had put down there. There were lots of colorful sheets, and I would have taken one of them if I didn't already have nice sheets. I left, and when I came back again there were boxes of lots of different kinds of cookies, and three people in the room. There was an older gentleman who looked like a janitor, and a couple, the woman crying and eating cookies. I overheard the conversation; the man had cheated on her, and was breaking it off with her. I felt for her and wanted to treat her to something nice but something told me not to meddle. They both left, leaving me with the older gentleman. He seemed really friendly, a bit odd, but really well-meaning. He asked if I wanted any of the sheets; I said no, because I had a star trek patterned set upstairs.

"Oh, you like Star Trek? I have just the thing for you!" He opened a drawer in a nearby desk and ruffled through some papers. He handed me a visibly old piece of card-stock with an image printed on one side of it and writing on the back. I don't remember exactly what the image was at first, but the older man said it was a picture of Spock. I looked again, and it still wasn't Spock but the image changed! Every time I looked at it, the image on the paper was different. It eventually did show Spock; it was a black-and-white image, pretty old looking. I was super thrilled with this piece of paper and wanted badly to find Zukin to show her this supernatural thing.

I ran up flights of stairs to try to find her, looking down at the sheet to make sure it was still working every now and then. I noticed the images were always black-and-white, and always had that old high-contrast-y quality to them even if they were modern things. About half-way through the house I felt this evil, dark presence. I turned away from where it was, but I kept running into it and I felt like it was chasing me and I kept getting glimpses of this black, shadowy figure. When I got to the ground floor of the house (there were apparently lots of basement floors), the image stopped changing. It was also in color, now. It was an image of an old wooden door, very intricate and really quite beautiful. It was at the end of a hallway or something, like a door to a closet or stairs to the basement. I kept looking back at the paper, trying to get it to change, but it wouldn't. And then, there was a banging at the front door. I had to cross right in front of the door to reach the stairs up to the top floors, so I ran. When I got to the top of the first flight of stairs I turned and saw the black figure (I could now tell it was a woman, and she was pure evil) phasing through the door and floating up towards me. I ran the rest of the way to my room without looking back.

Spoiler for unrelated bits:

When I got to my room, I shut the door and locked it, and somehow I felt safer. Like I knew she couldn't get up here. So I put the now-permanent photo in my desk drawer for now. I stood in the center of my room, which was really beautifully lit, and something made me realize this was all very odd... I looked down at my hands. They looked normal, but the ruby ring I have was not how it should be. The stones on the sides of the ring were the wrong color. (through out the dream, I kept looking down at my hands to see what different ways they would look and also to keep the dream stable) I looked up again, knowing I was dreaming, and jumped up to phase through the ceiling and fly around town. The city was huge. I flew up, very fast, and then did super-fast circles and figures in the sky, pretty much just having a good time while I collected my thoughts. I remembered my most recent, most wanted goal, to summon the Face and have him tell me who he was. So I stopped where I was, about a mile above the city, and shouted, "FACE!"

I blinked and realized I was now back in my room in that house. I felt the Face's presence behind and to my left, so I turned. He looked completely different (he was wearing the sexyest of all outfits and a pig head for some reason...)

We greeted each other with a nod, and then I said, "So tell me, who are you exactly?"

He took off the pig-head mask thing, and there was his normal face. "I'm your lovely dream-love-guide, love." He still used that signsongy voice and it somehow made me super horny. I sat down on the floor next to him. He sat down too, and reached over to move the hair away from my face. I pushed him down and got on top of him and it was amazing; our clothes just poofed away. I've never been fully lucid during sexy-times before. It was awesome. When we finished, I was laying on the ground next to him and he pulled himself over me, smirked and said, "Now go do those other things you wanted to do," and he phased through me and then the floor. It was a weird feeling, not a bad one though.

I laid there on the floor thinking of my other goals and things to do. I vaguely remembered the week-two task being to make an inanimate object move and talk or something. I looked around the room and decided to go with the wardrobe in the corner; there wasn't very much furniture to pick from. I watched it and kinda wiggled my hands at it to give it life.

It took a breath (like literally, I could see it inflate and deflate) and seemed to look at me. "Well, go on then," it said.

"What...?"

"Open the window," it said, and moved toward the window. I did what it said, and when I opened the window, it got really happy. It shrunk enough to fit out the window and jumped out. I expected it to break when it hit the ground, but it just bounced a little and then walked off.

Huh. I looked out the window and remembered the TOTM to turn yourself into a planet. I've been waiting for this one to be a task of the month to try it...! I stepped back from the window, and jumped up to shoot off through the roof of the old house. I just kept going up, getting faster and faster it seemed. Getting to space was harder this time because it was full-daylight out. The sun was abnormally bright and even when I got into space, the sun was like a super-bright point radiating out. I tried to keep my back to it while in space. I flew for a while, trying to get far enough from Earth to make my own planet out of myself.

When I felt like I was far enough away, I stopped, closed my eyes and just sort of let myself grow. I grew taller, wider, rounder. It was such an awesome experience; I was just a simple round hunk of rock, so I sped up time (lol I forgot this was my third task, too, WOOT!) to let myself grow fully and get some lifeforms on me. I could literally feel mountains, oceans and forest growing on various parts of my body. I could feel living things start to evolve, and then people building huts and villages, migrating, and building their societies. It was like I WAS physics, geology, history... I could feel all the forces of gravity pulling things to my center, I could feel the pull of the sun and I could see the path of my orbit.

I wanted to know what kind of life existed on myself, so I focused my consciousness on a point at my edge, extended out just a touch more and detached myself from myself. I was in a hilly place, with lots of grass. But where I detached was a crunchy gravel path. I realized I was in a sort of graveyard, and suddenly I felt Zukin's presence somewhere behind me. Like, not just Zukin's DC. This was HER presence. I looked around for her; I saw a few other people but I didn't see her, and yet I could still feel her and she was moving around. I kept searching for her but woke up...

Hell yeah! Feel my ghostly presence!

Had some boring dreams last night!

Stop Following Me!

A housemate of mine was following me every where I went. At first it was cute but it quickly became irritating. I told him to stop following me but he wouldn't!


Drunk Kestrel

The same housemate from the previous dream was still following me around. We were shopping in Bed, Bath, & Beyond. I found a really nice poster that I wanted to buy, but I realized that I didn't bring any money with me. I had the cashier hold it while I fetched my wallet, but I never came back to pick it up haha.

Later, Kestrel, I, and some other people were playing a board game. Kestrel was really drunk, but it was Halloween so we were planning on going out later. In trying to get ready, she drunkenly fell down a flight of stairs. We had to call the doctor. He visited and said she was alright, but was too drunk to party (by that point, we had already figured).

Nap Dream

My pharmaceutics professor, me, and two other classmates were going to go backpacking. We met at an apartment that we would also be staying at for the rest of the semester. The two other classmates had already claimed their room so I was stuck with a bed in the hallway. I was a little bit annoyed but figured I would find a better place for the bed later. Before we could leave for our trip, a bunch of monsters spawned in our apartment and we had to fight and kill them.

Poseidon's Mouth

I was in a basement at a highschool rock concert. I got the feeling that I had been there before some years back, though I am sure I haven't at least in waking life. The basement was really dingy. When I came in the room, everyone was unusually happy to see me! I didn't know any of these people, but they knew me.

I took a seat on the wooden benches and listened to the rock band play. A guy next to me, who looked to be in middle school, started trying to flirt with me. I felt really uncomfortable since I was more than a decade older than him. He told me that he was actually 32. UHHHH.

There were a lot of strange, interesting people there.

Eventually I wanted to leave. I ran into Kestrel along the way. She told me that she had to take her written driver's license test again at the Secretary of State. I offered to come along with her to provide emotional support.

It was a long walk to get out of the rock concert. We went through a myriad of hallways, out a green house, and even through a park. We were almost to the parking lot when Log-Cabin-Boy (a guy who lives in the apartment complex next to mine) saw me and approached. He started to strike a conversation with me. Kestrel looked back at me and waited. She looked a bit confused to be meeting him for the first time. Knowing that Kestrel was waiting, I cut the conversation short, to his great dismay.

Kestrel and I walked to a large pier/boardwalk on the coast of an ocean or big lake. The Secretary of State office was sitting on the pier/shady boardwalk. I went into the office with her and took a seat. A woman was talking and preparing the students for their exam. The exam room had plastic, grey seats and across from us was a large set of windows that showed beautifully the ocean.

While Kestrel was busy preparing for her exam, I was looking out the window. I noticed huge storm clouds approaching us. They looked like thick waterspouts. The winds were so strong that they were carrying large boulders in the air and slamming them down into the water.

The exam proctor noticed me looking out the window and briskly shut the curtains. I protested and told her that there was a huge waterspout next to us! The rest of the students ran up to the window and ogled the storm in fear. The exam proctor told us that we needed to take shelter. So we should go to...a boat!

Kestrel, I, and the rest of the students climbed into a hooded sport boat. The waves were slamming us back and forth violently. I was being slammed into the wall and against other people.

Suddenly, the waves got even more intense and high and we were picked up by the waterspout. The waterspout dropped us into a literal black hole. As the boat was falling through the void, we heard demons and monsters roaring and growling around us. It felt like we were being eaten by a demon.


Stilts

I false awakened from the previous dream and found myself and Kes laying in a tent in my parents' backyard. My shuffling had woken Kes up, and she muttered, "Diddd I passss???"

I was confused for a moment before I realized that she was referring to her driver's license test.

"Oh, yeah baby. You just sailed right on through," I laughed and rolled my eyes. Outside of our tent I heard some strange noises. I peaked my head outside the tent door and saw people walking around the backyard with 30-foot stilts. What the fuck?

There were power lines running through the backyard and since they were taller than the power lines, they were having trouble getting past them. Many of them tripped and fell into the power lines, but they weren't hurt.



That Recurring Highschool Dream

I spoke too soon about not having this dream anymore. I was in the last hour of the school day and was working on some kind of craft project. When the bell rung, I still had a mess everywhere so I tried to quickly shove everything into my backpack. I ran to the bus as fast as I could before they left the school yard, but I don't think I made it.

Haunted Boarding School

I was attending a boys and girls boarding school. The building was old and haunted. I was getting a lot of weird feelings when I was there. It was a spooky old place.

The only types of students that the apparition seemed to be attacking were women. The apparition would push them out of windows or down staircases. I saw this personally once. There were also two living male staff members who gave me the creeps as well. One of them was a kind of school counselor and I think the other may have even ran the school. I remember they were pressuring the female students into doing things that they didn't want to.

I went outside to the deck that was being constructed on the school. A classmate was working hard on building it. I tried talking to her about what I was seeing, but she only gave me expressions of confusion and worry for my sanity. Great.

At one point, I was in a car. I was in the passenger seat as someone else was driving.

Suddenly, this thing materialized in front of them and let out a scream before perishing away



I didn't want to sleep alone after that. I knew I'd have to go back to the boarding school, but hell if I was going to be there alone. I waited for Ginger to come back before sleeping again.

In the meantime, I found Kestrel and talked to her. She told me that she was on her way to a meeting in a lecture hall in the basement to prepare for her new job. I followed her there. The lecture room was full of people that only she knew. Some were even from when we lived in Germany. I didn't know any of these people and decided I would only be in the way if I stayed, so I went to the back of the room to practice my German on a whiteboard. I eventually grew tired of that and went back up to my room to play video games.

I was reminded that I had missed my Thursday evening class. My professor emailed me that I would have to make it up with another classmate who had missed the class. Since I had already missed the class, I went back to playing my video game about medieval assassins.

Creepy Lake, Creepy Grandma

I was in Wisconsin at a pharmacy school that I had decided not to attend over another one. It was night time and I was by a misty lake. There was an old woman/grandma who was telling me that she needed me to go in the lake for her and fill up a blue, metal bucket with water. I really didn't want to get my pants wet, though. I eventually gave into her demands and filled the bucket up with water in the misty lake.

Later, I was walking up a steep hill trying to get to their main campus so that I could print something out. I also remember being in a room with a bunk bed with about three other people. I think someone was sleeping. We were talking.

Pedophile

I was babysitting an infant for the night. All was going really well and I had put the baby down for bed without any fuss. Actually, everything was going too well. I grabbed the baby monitor and listened closely. I heard some strange shuffling, and then whispers. I listened closely, trying to make out what was being said. I recognize it to be the whispers of a grown man, and I rush upstairs to check on the infant. Standing over the crib is a random man, probably a pedophile, who had snuck into the house. I immediately called the cops. The mother came back and was freaked as hell.

Space Ships and Waterparks

Kestrel and I took our handy-dandy space ship to the other side of the country to go to a waterpark. The water park was huge and some of the rides/big slides had their end in a massive wade pool that stretched the entire park. I kept having to leave to take medicine or something, and I remember drinking alcohol at one point. Near the waterpark was a large park with hedges and stone. There were some teenagers sitting on a ledge. As I was walking past them, one of them thought it would be fun to come at me with a knife, but was equally surprised to find out that I was carrying one too. Haha what now.

Eventually, Kestrel and I had to leave the waterpark because a hurricane was scheduled to hit us. Kestrel and I climbed back in our spaceship and flew off before the winds could impair our journey. I tried to drive the spaceship, but was so bad that I was almost arrested. So Kestrel flew us the rest of the way home.

Big Auditorium

I was in a huge auditorium - we were all gathered to celebrate something. I think it was for someone's birthday. Anyways, I was trying to get out of this clusterfuck but got stuck in a tiny white room instead. There were some other people there as well. In this room, I stumbled across another energy. He was a boy, about highschool or younger aged, and was clinging onto me. I don't remember much else of this dream except his milky energy.

Bernie Sanders

Kestrel and I were at a mall. She told me her uncle was Bernie Sanders. She said that she was going to go somewhere and she would just meet me later. I went ahead and walked inside an electronics store. I was bored so I talked to the employees about random things. At one point, an employee and I were video recording something. As we were recording, an Asian man got distracted by us and fell backwards into a glass case. Also, there were little orcs having battles on the floor.

Power Outage

I noticed that we must have had a storm, since the power had gone out earlier, resetting all of the clocks to ":".

Too Cute (non-dream)

I woke up sometime last night feeling **SUPER** nauseous. I felt like I had drunk too much and needed to throw up, except I haven't had anything alcoholic to drink in the past...month. I've been nagging Ginger (my boyfriend) to remember his dreams so that we can share them. I found it too cute that he told me in the morning that he had had a dream in which he randomly threw up. 500+ miles away from each other and still kicking ass.

Kestrel does TOTM

I was standing next to Kestrel in a crowd. She was lucid, but I was only half-lucid. She decided to do the ToTM in which you fart in front of a crowd and claim responsibility. She insisted that we do it together. I tried, but I didn't have any ammo in my arsenal.

Australia!

I lived in Australia! I was to live there for about three weeks. Once we (my entire family and I) were settled into our new home, I decided to go out for a run. I brought a random shopping cart with me. I ran through a university campus. There was a train track going right through campus and a train was rushing through. I'm guessing that I probably heard a train in real life and it made it into my dream. I became distracted with the buildings on campus and went inside one of them. It was a building for a school of business. I rode an old elevator up to the top floor. While I was in the elevator, a man stepped in and was staring. He started trying to touch my hair, but luckily his floor was before mine. The top floor was a library or study area.

Later, I was walking in the neighborhoods next to a highschool. I was fixing the roofing on some of the old houses and using a wagon to get around (I have a broken foot). I was riding the wagon down hills, when my wagon got too much speed. It zoomed down a dirt hill and I landed in the middle of a field in a prickly thornbush. I was suddenly out in the middle of nowhere.

About ten feet away was a man playing frisbee by himself. I tried to talk to him but he didn't want to converse and left. At first I thought he was young, but then I noticed that he looked to be in his thirties.

I went then to a restaurant to meet up with an old friend who was now living in Australia as well. I wanted to talk to her about things to do here to make my time here most worthwhile. We didn't have a good conversation though, since she seemed preoccupied with something else.

Even later in the dream, I was on a school bus. The bus driver was driving the route for the first time and missed the school.

September 7th, 2015

My thoughts are super scattered today but here's what I remember.

Lost in the Mountains

I was stuck in a huge mountainous nature park with no way to get back home. I didn't have a car and there weren't any buses that came out there. I was walking back towards civilizations on the trail, which was super dangerous as all of the paths gave way to sheer rock face. I was almost back when I stumbled across Bree, who was walking into the nature park with her family. I told her my situation and she said that I could borrow her car, since she planned on being in the park for several days.

CPR

I was with a family who wasn't mine and Kestrel might have been there, too. The dad and the newborn infant simultaneously started having heart attacks. I gave CPR to the infant. Both infant and father survived.

I think this was related to this dream, but I remember their backyard was full of rushing, violent waves of water.
