The Dream Magic Experiment

6:19 am

I was in the MRT, or near the MRT. I was going to go through the mall but it looks like it's still too early so they're closed. I lined up. I ended up somehow in a donut store. I bought some food/coffee. I was talking to someone while I was sitting down and I said good bye or something. The woman in front of me said something in our local dialect, and I was surprised so I asked her if she's from Negros. She said we met in Philcoa before.

I was walking along a path. I was going somewhere, but the road/path might be dangerous. I went ahead anyways.

NOTES:

* I slept around quarter to 1 a.m.
* I woke up earlier and I thought I was already awake. I went back to sleep while trying to remember dream (or thinking of blank space).
* I thought it's already around noon, when I usually wake up. I was pleasantly surprised to find it's still 6 a.m.

I was taking responsibility for a team.

I was on the road, waiting for a bus.

I was in a mall of sorts. I was leading a team. My sister was there. I had a key. I opened doors.

There was a small gap between walls but too small. We went through the door.

A meeting with Thumbtack. Mik and others did parkour after talking on the stage. I raised my fist and shouted something like "Woooo" or "Yeaaaah".

NOTES:

- mild headache when I woke up
- dizzy
- slept around 4:30 am, woke up due to phone at 9-10 am, woke up again now 11:55 am.

Yesterday:

I was in a house or mall. I was taking the parkour workshop. We were supposed to do a flow from one area to another. The catch is that we're blindfolded or we have our eyes closed. I was able to do rolls. cat hangs, etc.

10:39 p.m.

I was in a parkour training session. We were traveling from place to place. One place is a mall of sort. One guy was to be the "rabbit" and we were to chase him. I had a skateboard or a mall cart with someone on it. I was supposed to move him as well while chasing the guy. We gave the guy a few minutes then we chased. I think we were supposed to make him wear the shirt or take it off.

It didn't take long and I was disappointed. I started doing solo. I jumped from ledge to ledge, on the wide stairs, and I did some amazing flow. I went up high on the floors and watched some of the traceurs below. I thought of wearing a disguise, if I was the "rabbit", and walk inconspicuously among them if ever.

We were going down, sliding and vaulting, the stairs on the way to the train station. I saw my crush down below.

It was EDSA and it's usually really tight. I was talking/thinking about how to avoid it by taking certain routes on the sides.

I was seeing the routes at night, quarter-top view. The roads and the lights are visible, but it's mostly dark.

I was in a motel. I think it was a prize of sorts. Or I was just staying overnight somewhere.

I was looking down at a map. Trying to figure out where QC is or certain places. There was supposed to be a Tibetan meditation event the next day. Somehow, one of the members needed/wanted to join and was hoping the rest would join as well.

I was looking at a map of a mountain separating two areas. There's QC. What's the other side? Not clear.

NOTES:

- I went to sleep around 8:20 p.m., hoping to get some shut eye as I was getting really tired. I woke up around 1.5 hours later. I first checked my phone and saw 10:xx p.m. and was surprised. Then I thought it was just the phone. Maybe the time and date reset when it was off. But I though it must be earlier than 5 or 6 a.m. since the alarm hasn't sounded.
- I opened my computer and saw the time was accurate.
- Twilight Zone
- No parkour training last Sunday due to rain
- Been trying to jump a bit around in the unit.
- Weird how I kept missing my dream signs (train, mall, crush)

10 a.m.

I was in a mall. I was with people. Friends? IRL, they're unfamiliar, but in the dream, they're friends, co-workers.

We were going home. We were carrying some stuff. I was carrying some stuff for one guy I like. Not sure what it was. I think our friends were expecting me to make a move already, but I was too shy.

I think it's the same day (might be a different day). It seems like the same mall. I was walking with a friend (A). We were walking close, me on his right, our arms touching, but not holding hands. We looked for a place to eat. I was looking for pork or liempo. Found one in the mall. One guy told me something. He was a flat mate.

NOTES:

- Slept at 3
- Alarm at 6, didn't hear it
- Woke up initially at 8, went back to sleep

I was in a BPO, taking calls, but I kept interleaving a phone call I received. I was talking to a customer. She needs to check something, a printer, to see if it works. At first I was confused what we were talking about. It's like I woke up while taking calls. I gave her instructions, like trying color and black and white cartridges and another PC.

Then we were talking face to face in a mall. The center was in a mall. I reassured her, and tapped her on the shoulder, and told her though that if it still doesn't work, she will have to get a new one. On the phone, I thought she was an elderly woman, but face to face, she looks young. Or was it vice versa?

After our talk, I went to line up to buy tickets to Bulacan.

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.

I was in an unfamiliar store (white theme). I was alone. It's facing some sort of field, and then beyond it, I can see the mountains. The sky is blue with whispy clouds. Then, there were invaders. Boneys? (from Warm Bodies) I tried to run. I tried to close the door but there's no lock. I ran to the back, and tried to close the door. The lock was a small, flimsy hook that's upside down. I can't escape. A Boney went through. I wasn't afraid. I was like, "Oh, well, what did I expect?" I died, but I didn't see how. It's like a game. I died and then I try again. This time, I hid below the desk, and then rolled out. I closed and locked the door behind me as the Boneys got inside. I then somehow made the place a trap, and explosive. I ran to the train station. From their, I saw the explosion. Somehow, I thought of Ukraine.

I was in the train station, waiting for the train, going somewhere. I was alone. Then suddenly, there were lots of people in the station. We were waiting for the train. Someone needed to pull the lever, and somebody called and instructed Mark. The train the showed up was on the other side, going to the left. After a while, a train from our left arrived, which is weird; we're at the end of the station, supposedly, so we're in the wrong place, but it went back (left side, facing the tracks from the side) after we boarded. People seem to be in a hurry to board it but I was just not in a hurry. When we were inside, there was still a lot of spaces, as if the people didn't board, or went elsewhere.

I went around, looking for cooler area in train. I was going to the mall.

I was with friends (suddenly). We were looking for a place to eat. KFC? Others (Mang Inasal image but different name)? Leo was there, I think, and so was Jen.

Then I was in the mall, but I was alone. My friends were gone and so were all the people. There was nobody there. I was in a part of the mall that was familiar. I was there in another dream before. I believe it was attached to a port: once a boat port and then an airport. I was thinking that something was a trap. Everyone went to attend an event, but I didn't go. Then I saw (in my mind) a snake man. Poison. I called the president asking if the event had something to do with snakes.

I saw the snake man handling a cobra. It's still wild, not a pet, but somehow, they understood each other, so it's not biting him.

A parking area, like the gravel parking area "behind" our university.

6:13 pm

I was lying on my back and heard a magical sounding twinkle, like in the old cartoons I guess. My eyes were still closed. I then was seeing a dream image where I was in a mall, it's really hazy. A guy was talking to me but I couldn't hear clearly. I said something back to him, something about me being in a dream I think. Then I was lying back on my bed. I heard that twinkling again. I could feel my body but everything's hazy.

Then I imagined moving my body, and I felt like I was floating. At this point I was still "closing" my eyes. I felt that familiar buzz throughout my body. I decided to stand up and open my eyes. I did, and I knew it was a lucid dream. I had no plans whatsoever. I saw my door partially open. It's also dark outside, like there was a blackout. I think I was scared of what might jump at me. I moved to the window and pushed my head through the glass, and my upper body followed. I saw that it was very cloudy. I thought maybe I should try to fly. Unfortunately, I could still feel the (imaginary) pull of of gravity, and I don't the shock of awakening (or peeing in my pants). I looked at the building across. I extended my left hand and tried to turn the lights on of a room from that building. No much effect. The overall mood is still dark.

I dropped into a dream. I was in a friend's house. It was also dark. I tried to turn on the lights; didn't work, and I asked them. They didn't answer. R and L were there, and there was another guy (D?). I asked R if he was feeling better. He said something, but the thought came through as he's still trying to get better. The thought also included about me being lucky I get to live my life on my own terms. Then he playfully grabbed me with a full nelson (reverse, the way I do it, which is a mistake), and L playfully punched me twice on the upper right side of my chest. I tried to laugh but couldn't get some air. They released me. I realized I couldn't talk, or didn't really talk. We were talking through our minds.

NOTES:

- I slept around 4 p.m.
- I ate late lunch (jasmine rice with turmeric and bay leaf plus instant la paz batchoy).
- I drank coffee (Cafe Blanca).
- I meditated to Sam Harris's 26-minute meditation audio.
- I planned to just take that as a break and go back to work.
- I was (and still is) feeling a bit sick, slight headache with runny nose.

1. I was in a mall. I took the escalator going down. I lied down on it and looked up to a psychedelic sky, blue, black, yellow, white, all blending in. I can't tell if it was night or day. I took pictures every 'step' of the way down. Lightning, photos, angles or angels. When I reached the bottom step, I thought of someone I tried to court recently (2 months ago), and I felt jealous.

2. I was wandering aimlessly around the mall. I can't seem to reach my destination, but I don't even know what my destination is. There was an escalator going up, but I didn't think it will lead me to my unknown destination. I just keep walking, jumping even. I didn't feel frustrated. I seemed to be enjoying just walking around aimlessly.

NOTE: I meditated before going to sleep for 15 minutes and watched the hypnagogic images. This might have influenced the psychedelic sky. I also thought of that person I tried to court before sleeping. Wrote a short interpretation of the dream in my notebook which proved enlightening.

August 2, 2013

I was in a mall. I was naked with some people. We were holding something up with our hands raised up. I think it was a boat. Like a dragon boat. We were in one line. A guy behind me tried to push his crotch behind me. I resented that and pushed him away. He might have felt my annoyance and left. We continued with the 'parade.'

I was in school or a place where we were watching a film. I went to the comfort room. Some guys were naked. I had to take a leak but the urinals were removed. Yellowish light. I had to pee on the floor in the corner. I went out and realized I can barely see. I left my glasses in the comfort room, so I went back and took it. When I returned to my seat, I realized that my glasses were there as well. I 'combined' them by hiding them from sight and then showing them again as one.

NOTES:

- photo above was my computer's desktop background since I thought of trying TOTM
- was reading Sivanson's and Sageous' thread
- slept around 9:20 pm
- did Triple Gem, breath focus, loving-kindness, 9 purif. breath, and let myself go to sleep without willing to lucid, only to remember
- woke up in the middle of the night, willed myself back to sleep after telling myself it's a WBTB (I didn't stand up and do normal stuff though).
- woke up around 4 am.

LUCID:

I woke up finding myself right outside of our house in my hometown right at noon. I realized with excitement that I am lucid, and started to wonder what to do. Then I remember the TOTM! I stood and looked at the sky.

I looked up at the sky and willed it to snow. It was high, freakin' noon, with only a few clouds and a warm sun. Also, I never experienced snow in my life (it never snows in our country). I raised my arms and looked at the clouds, and the sky started to darken as the clouds move to my command. Then it becomes night, but still no snow. However, as it became night, I saw the aurora borealis! It was lovely (we never see auroras here in our country)! But then it wasn't my goal. Not yet, and I let it dissipate.

I continued willing it too snow, and I then felt the first cold snow drop on my arms! I was ecstatic! It was a slow snow, and it didn't pour down as strongly as I wanted to, but it snows! Then I started singing, "We wish you a Merry Christmas" while walking back and forth in our yard. I can barely remember it now, but I chose it because it's such a short song. I remember singing the part "Good tidings we bring" and then "We wish you a Merry Christmas" again.

Finally, I thought it is time to go up and the sky and talk to the person or being or anything that creates the aurora. I flew up and fell on our roof. I jumped again to fly but fell down again. I lost lucidity.

NON-LUCID:

I was inside my room in our hometown. It was dark; the light was off. I was worried because my computer might be connected the entire night.

I was waiting for a jeep outside the street. The ground was wet. It looked gloomy, like rain just poured in our is about to.

I am inside the mall, talking to friends. We were waiting for something. RF and Gg are there, along with a couple of guys. They look like two guys I know from college. Unimportant.

Been trying ADA still, and the Tibetan inhale-exhale prior to sleep. Also tried to remember the day's events before sleep.

~ 8 am

I am running away from someone or something. Or I think I was going to accompany someone who was running away. We were going to an island, but the boat trip is only available twice a week.

The name "Mary Uzawa."

Mom and dad inside the mall. They have a stall there, selling food I think. They decided to leave it for some time and go upstairs to watch a movie or eat.


~ 4 pm

I keep thinking of USB or money deals or businesses. I'm not sure it's completely legal. A lot of travel, via bus or car. Two huge trucks, one is concealing something, the other isn't concealing the huge, rainbow-colored spiral. I told someone that they should have covered it. The response was that they couldn't find anything that covers it. I told them they should have waited for me then.

I am in front of some kind of salon or office. Three people were talking, two men and one woman. One mentioned that they should get a raise. One responded that they are in the city. The first man said that it shouldn't matter where they are; they should get a proper raise as well. Someone mentioned about the place being near some kind of trouble, like a riot.

I am in the sea. I and some people walked along an aisle with dry goods for sale. Some are clothing.

Slept around 3 pm
Woke up around 6:20 pm

I am in a fight. I have allies as well. There are other humans fighting. I realize that we were fighting some sort of entity. He divided himself into several people. I did as well. I overcome each, subdued, and absorbed them. It's very colorful and realistic. Each person looks different though. It's not like Naruto's kage-bunshin.

Finally, I go to face the main man. He looks buff, and he looks like Cell or Majin-buu. The colors turn almost Dragonball-like, except it's brighter and still realistic. His body was facing the other way, but his head is turned to the right. We fought. He became some sort of skull-headed humanoid. It's night. He was transforming again, but I used a cloth, and from behind him, I tied it (by accident) along his nose. He died and shattered.

My allies told me that it's the only way to defeat him. Otherwise, he would just transform. I laughed how blocking his nose would kill him when he could have breathed through his teeth. Creeping realization that I'm supposed to get something from that. I laughed it off with a kid.

I'm in a mall with LR. We're eating. I'm reading a book and I cross-referenced to the internet. I saw flood everywhere online. Even our area in Sampaloc. I'm not sure how far or close we are from Sampaloc, but the dry places look more like islands surrounded by water. I told LR we should check Katipunan. Seems dry, but not sure how to get there with the flood. He double checked the internet, doubting my words. He confirmed it. But I was finally starting to doubt. Was the date correct?

Some people heard us. A few wondered what the number was to call something. LR provided the number written on a book. Or rather, he wrote it on a book. It's something like 1-1-1-1, although there might be a few more numbers before it. The woman thanked him and went on the phone booth to call.

I ate something I didn't like, so I went downstairs to find a place I can unload whatever was the contents of my mouth. I looked around and doesn't look like there's a place I can release. Somehow, I did. I saw some homeless people, and people busy on the street. I think parts of the flood is starting to appear here. I went back up. I was in a hurry, and there was another woman and a guy in hurry going up as well.

A ghost story. It's like a movie. Somebody is telling me the story and I watch it unfold in front of me in real time. It's a girl and a couple of adults in a Western culture (America, perhaps?). Not sure what the plot was, but I think the girl was the ghost.

Somehow, I have to undergo the same process, and help others choose the right path. It's night, and I can see bar-graph-like objects, where I should pin a thumbtack with a thread on it, from left to right. Somehow, the height level of each pin is important. I tried pinning it as high as I can, but there's no bar-graph to pin it to. I tried anyway, and it automatically went down to the highest possible point, although it's lower than where I "pinned" it on air. It was still hanging on air, not on the bar-graph. Next problem is that the thread might be too short to reach to the end on the right.

NOTES:

MILD "I am lucid in my dreams."
ADA
Sandalwood incense

4:35 pm

I was in a mall. It was night. The lights are mostly yellow. I got a call, to go home or to meet with an aunt to get money and food, in Cavite or Makati. I felt fun.

I was in the forest. Somehow felt like it was Mt. Banahaw. I saw JN going to ride a tricycle. A lot of other people are taking it. I asked where they're going. He mentioned some place. I nodded, went to RR, and told him. I was hoping to join.

The Walking Dead style. Carl (the character in the series) was bit. They're deciding whether to shoot him, or how to save him. I (or someone else) was telling them that they should kill him.

I was in the LRT station, in Cubao I guess. We're waiting for something, so we can go somewhere. Maybe meet up with JN and the rest? I asked the guard if I could use the train shortcut. He was going to decline, but I told him something (which I forgot), and he suggested I just go there, write down my name, email and some sort of number (SSS or phone?). I lined up, and the others lined up behind me. I was concerned because the person in the entrance might wonder. Then I saw GM arrive. I went out of the line and talked to him. The rest followed me.

NOTE:

Did MILD: "I am lucid in my dreams"
Did ADA, mostly

NOTES: 100, stay put upon awakening (Yuppie's DEILD technique)

1. M's birthday. I wasn't invited. R was there. M said something harsh to me, but I forgot what. I cried and I left. There were allies who accompanied me. Witches.

2. Train station. Hurry. Bike. But it has four wheels, and two are made of spirals lying flat on the floor. It's a bumpy road. Looked for a CR. I need to change. Clean. It was near a restaurant. Barely recognized because the sign on the door is soooo small. I tried to pee on the urinal, but some guy left his stuff there. I told him to take it. I can't see because of a blinding light. There are a lot of people in the comfort room. The color is sickly yellow. I went inside the toilet room. It's hard to lock. On the left room, I heard some noise, and saw two sets of legs underneath. Ignored them. I stod up and I can see people passing by outside. I saw Iv pass by and called his name. He asked "Which Iv?" I thought probably it's not him. I saw No on the right room. I was outside, walking. The church was hiding the MRT or the mall.

Woke up, DEILD, thought of running. I need to hurry. I'm in my hometown. Planning to take a bus to the crossing area. A feeling of "too late."
