The Dream Magic Experiment

I was going away. I was on the road. Or rather, a dirt road, with trees and grasses on both sides. The left is lighter; the right is denser. The dirt road has marks of tires on it and heavy use.

There's a house/store on the left side. There's a sparse conglomeration of houses on the left side. I think I visited one of them and stayed there. A little bit further down the road is a temple with a huge reclining Buddha outside. The head is closer to me. I think I joined or will join the temple.

"Anaken"? An event somewhere. It was a grass area. A familiar place but not sure where. Manila? We were looking for a jeep. It's night, so I'm worried I might get lost or end up in a bad place. I imagined a place along the road that's dark. There are trees on both sides. I decided to tag along with others. I think Amben and Sacha were there.

It's... dawn? Or late afternoon? We were walking near a plaza area. There are stuff for sale. Grey colors, dim, hazy.

Notes:

- It was clearer when I woke up but I keep going back to bed to sleep some more.
- I slept around 11 p.m. Woke up at around 10 a.m., but I kept going back to sleep before that.
- Slept to Kelly McGonigal's default mode meditation.

It was night. I was looking up from the ground to the second floor of a house. It has the 3-D strategy video game feel, like Chrono Cross.

Somehow, we (me and my party) reached the second floor, inside a room. We were fighting a "monster." Somehow, I thought it was Death. It was simply glowing white but I saw the shape of a scythe. I jumped just as it slashed horizontally. Then I was watching the fight. I saw "Death" throw some kind of power. I caught it by pressing "k" and timing it properly. I used it to heal my allies and also to steal two items. I had to rearrange the items because my party's pouches are full. Somehow, that ended the game.

I was in the room. I was talking to people. One of our allies has a mask. She seems female. She has small white shirt that hugs her torso and tight white shirt/jeans. Her mask is all white, without any slits for the eyes or nose. She has long blond hair tied into two "ears." It would have looked freaky. In fact, I was surprised when I first saw her since I didn't know we had her in the party. I asked who she was. One of our party members (also female with brown curly hair, a Spanish look, and slightly shorter than masked woman) said she joined our team before the fight on the second floor. I somehow saw her climb up from the balcony and jumping in the fight at night, which was creepier. I forgot her soon after.

It's eating time (breakfast? dinner? lunch?). Everyone's around the table. I saw one middle-aged guy with a hefty belly and slightly long brown hair with a white tank top. (very cartoonish) There were so many of us that we could hardly fit around the table. While we were arranging ourselves, a balloon burst. Somehow, that made me a bit angry, but then it disappeared. For some reason, I thought that we were on a higher floor, and that the air pressure affected it. I thought of the formula 1/x.

There was also a vision of our fight before. Not sure if it happened before the fight with Death or after. We were outside. People were turning into rats: one person becomes many rats. It felt like a plague or a curse. I think a person gets bitten by something and it slowly turns him into rats. One guy, Emman, was there helping out/fighting whoever was the bad guy. There were two of them inside the van when I found them. One guy was already turning helplessly into rats. Parts of Emman was slowly turning into rat-like color and texture. I saw movement/bulging within his T-shirt. I helped him out. I think he was with us while eating (which triggered the vision?), so I think he made it. Still not sure how.

I was outside. It was sunny. I was running, not out of fear but out of fun. There's a wall ahead of me, and I jumped up and through the rails. There were trees and leaves all around on the ground, with sunlight filtering through the trees. I saw "myself" run up and through the rails/wall. I felt free. I thought of how other dreams felt like this.

Notes:

- Fell asleep while I was in front of the computer, supposedly to finish watching Week 3 of Game Theory.
- I was supposed to eat lunch outside and buy groceries.
- No alarm, no meditation audio
- I just fell asleep. It was noontime.
- I think I slept for 1.5 hours.

11:37 a.m.

I was walking a lot. The place has a lot of trees. I kept walking on a path that winds down various areas. They're supposed to be familiar. While walking down the path, I kept thinking about where it led if I followed a particular path.

I took a jeepney, and I worried it might not turn to the place I was thinking, but at the last corner, the driver asked aloud. I answered in the affirmative, and he turned right. I got off and entered a mall.

NOTES:

- Slept at around 3:12 a.m.
- Took one tablet (3mg) melatonin
- I had clear images running through my mind while I had my eyes closed.
- No techniques, although I tried to tell myself to remember my dream
- The dream was no different than the others except it has a lot of feeling of familiarity to it.
- It was kinda rainy.

Chase. We are being chased in an unknown place. A squatters area in an Asian city. I separated from the rest and thought I lost them.

I came upon a playground surrounded sparsely by trees. I hid on the slide. A kid saw me. From nearby, I saw one of our pursuers, a guy who was wearing a kingly red-and-white robe and a crown, pretending not to see me. He was waiting for the right moment to catch me.

CR. Korean. Eyes. Question..

July 22, 2013, Monday

I was running down the road west with some kids. It's in my hometown. It was twilight, right before dawn, but with no sun rays yet. We flight up to the skies. The sun began to rise.

We started to feather fall, and some of the kids were already on the ground. I flapped my hands harder to go up higher. I saw the municipal building, I kept flying up, up higher than the trees.

I passed by a tree house on a really tall tree. I knocked on the door, but then kept flying past it. I looked at the fields of my hometown below. I floated down and landed.

6? am

I took a jeep to an unknown place. A target and a battle. "What is your 'why?'"

A 2D game. I summon trees to fight. It's like Heroes of Might and Magic, where my team is on the left side and the enemy is on the right.

A group of students learning from a master (or masters). If they want to survive (the cold), they need to cuddle together.

I was a Megaman type of character. I was younger than I am. My suit was removed from me by someone or something. My AI computer? I am in a dark room. I entered another dark room to get a floating gem (like you do in some computer games). It's like Megaman Legends, first-person. I'm too afraid to go around in the dark areas.

Slept: 2:34 a.m.
Method:
- Intention: "I will remember my dream"
- Alarm 4, 6.5, 7 (should be 4.5, 6, 7.5, but I forgot), which makes it 0630, 0800, 0930.

Dream:

~0630:

Moki. Village. (unreadable scribbles)

0803:

Silay. People. Running. Everything is jumbled. Trees. Caroling.

I was somewhere in Bacolod. I decided to ride a jeep. The public utility vehicles are using a different route, going through the "back" of the city. The place looks beautiful, with trees and green fields. I felt sad that I forgot to bring my camera. Then I remembered; I DO have my camera, but for some reason, I find it troublesome to get it out. So I didn't.

I arrived in a school.

Something about the road felt familiar; like I've been there in another dream.

I was in a school function. We were celebrating; a party? Homecoming king and queen. Then the pair was chosen, and then they led us out running into the field. A tradition of this particular school, I imagined. The "king" was a school jock, and the "queen" some popular teenager.

Then I noticed another pair. They weren't together. They were just part of the crowd at first. Then suddenly, they were more excited than the rest. They look like kids than teenagers. They ran on and ahead outside. They were first on the field, and they started playing football (not soccer). Or at least the boy did. He threw the football into the field, and the girl was yards away. It was a green field, surrounded by trees, with a nice stream of sunlight.

The "king" turned sour with envy, and talked to the Haruo Niijima (History's Strongest Disciple anime) to badmouth the kids who took center stage. Instead, he was blackmailed by Niijima. Not sure why.
