      Biker bar shenanigans

      I am in a biker bar that is dimly lit
      There were other instances before this that blurred together
      I am looking around at the neon signs and people sitting around the bar
      All of their facial features seem blurred and misshaped
      I immediately know that I am dreaming
      Looking at my hands, yup too many fingers and two thumbs per hand
      I try to remember my dream tasks and decide to summon
      Swinging my hand out and back in I have a gun in my hand
      Nope, did that already, I de-summon it while looking at it, just fading into nothing
      Remembering I’m in a bar I decide a beer would be nice!
      A bottle slowly phases into my gripping hand while I look at it
      The DCs around me are staring(through their deformed eyes)
      I gather I am putting on a magic show of sorts for them lol
      Hold the beer up to drink it exaggeratedly and feel the liquid going into my mouth
      It tastes like nothing, like no carbonation or anything, almost like drinking air that has volume to it, I am let down because I wanted to drink something in a dream
      It seems to be hard to remember the whole list of tasks from the competition
      I remember thinking about telekinesis (this used to be my most reliable dream sign but had the thought the other day I haven't had any TK dreams in quite some time)
      Reaching out with one hand I levitate all the bottles sitting on the bar
      People sitting around stand up and audibly gasp
      Oh boy now I’m causing a scene
      I drop them all at once and hear some glass breaking
      I walk around the bar just taking in the details
      It seems dimly lit and not as clear as I would prefer so I say in my mind loudly “CLEAR”
      The picture snaps into focus and brightens some, good enough
      I then remember thinking how I’ve never made a portal in dream and that would be interesting
      Holding my hand out with two fingers extended like Dr. Strange I start drawing semi-circles in the air
      Greenish sparks start coming out of my fingers and I can see the outline of the portal forming
      I’m unsure where I want to go, the portal seems to be fading in and out
      It is now a large human-sized oval greenish portal like from rick’s portal gun
      I sidestep into it without a clear idea of where I’ll end up
      The dream pauses/does that screen shake thing that happens when you walk through a portal in VR chat
      The dream destabilizes and I lose lucidity as the next dream locale boots up


      Fragment

      I befriend a younger couple, and the girl has eyes for me
      I attempt not to be disrespectful but the guy is constantly leaving us alone
      It feels like a survival situation
      We have a hole with cargo nets in it we can hide in to be safe

      Fragment

      of a war game/outdoor airsoft match
      I throw a grenade through a window a great distance away, and hear the enemies yelp before it goes boom

      Fragment

      I am with my friend who has started a fire in his backyard to keep us warm
      He started the fire inside a dilapidated shed with no roof and missing a wall or two
      I worry the fire could spread
      Some time elapses and I go back to his backyard to check on things
      The fire has completely engulfed the shed as it was mostly all dried aged wood frames
      He doesn't seem to mind much because they were going to have to clear it away anyway
      I am slightly concerned at the size of it and people might notice
      Then we hear the news playing from inside his house
      They are reporting a house fire seen from miles away
      They describe the location as being exactly where we are
      I think, oh boy here we go
      The dream fades while we talk about how to deal with the tall flames

      Filipino Journey

      I have just arrived in the Philippines with a few friends
      As we get checked in there is a guy who gives us all of our paperwork/visas
      They are printed on transparent acetate cards that are oversized which fit into my loose pants pocket only barely without falling out
      We are in an area similar to a large cafeteria almost, partly looks like an abandoned k-mart with bare walls and busted fluorescent lights
      There seems to be food waste all over the floor with some kind of brownish orange sticky sauce smeared all over the place like someone was mopping with oriental sauce
      The floor is very sticky and I'm trying not to walk on it as I explore where we are
      I'm just kind of amazed that I'm in a new place
      My friends are moving very fast and not really taking things in, they are also boisterous and I worry we may be drawing too much attention to ourselves
      We adventure around the inside here, I notice children scattered playing in the corners, and people generally waiting around like a train station of sorts, though I am surprised at how dingy and worn down everything is
      We go through a doorway to another room and I notice a giant block of butter maybe 3 feet high on the other side, I take up a chunk and eat it
      My friends all laugh, I notice there are businessmen and other random people coming in and out of this concourse
      One guy in a suit coming through the doorway sees me eat it and laughs too but it's all jovial and lighthearted

      When we finally leave the area we are in a very busy marketplace-type bazaar roadway that seems like a back alley connected to other streets
      It is very busy with people coming in both directions, vendors shouting and even the odd motorbike whizzing past, it seems very populated
      I tell my friends we should probably find someplace safe because I know not everywhere around here is safe to be as a tourist
      We are dodging in and out of alleyways eventually meeting a friendly looking american

      He leads us to his permaculture farm which seems very interesting
      I notice there are other americans living there in a commune-type setting
      G is with me now, it seems my friends have gone in a different direction
      As we're walking through this permaculture farm I notice that it's nestled around/built into a wooden framed house, going through the different rooms I realize that we accidentally just walked into their home
      I see the main guy who owns the place in his bedroom
      He is a farmer and also a chef, he is very friendly and incredibly kind, a relaxed soul
      We apologize that we're in the bedroom and he walks us back out giving us a little tour of the permaculture farm along the way and the little community center where everyone is hanging out
      I notice there are a lot of very earthian healthy looking people but they all seem like-minded and hospitable
      It is picturesque and comfortable here

      He's describing a dish they're putting together, it's very similar to falafel
      He asks if we know how to form them with a wood dowel concave mold he is holding and if we would mind helping them prepare a large batch for the community
      We agree, I'm very happy to learn about a new dish in a new place, I am amazed to be in a new country and that there are so many like-minded souls here
      I notice that I’m wearing these very shiny brown leather shoes and the floors are very smooth terracotta tile
      I slide over the tiles very easily as if there is a layer of oil on the floor
      To the point where I don't even have to walk or lift my feet to move around
      It sort of feels like I'm ice skating and I tell them how weird it feels to be able to move around They watch me and chuckle as I kind of slide around the room without really moving my feet much
      We walk outside together and I ask him if there are many permaculture farms around here
      He says no, I respond that I'm really surprised I thought that there will be more permaculture farms like this in the Philippines
      He says there's a couple but it's not very popular with the locals

      As we're walking I notice practically across the street from the farm there are many other similar types of people wearing tan leather-bound medieval armor and some of them are riding horses
      There's some kind of grand activity going on that seems like a medieval game of sorts
      I'm just amazed at everyone’s coordination and the varying outfits
      They're very excited to be involved in the activity, and everyone besides me seems to know what's going on
      I talked to a random girl with black hair as I am walking into the group
      I now have leather armor on my shoulders
      I'm watching the horses ride and do stunts as they're also manipulating different weapons and staffs in a LARP fashion, it reminds me of a renaissance festival
      G is with me now so we walk in the other direction away from the permaculture farm and notice that we're very close to the beach now

      The ocean is to my left
      I am in a video call on my phone with the main chef guy from the farm
      Describing what I'm seeing, the beach is very close to the road so I walk over
      Excited because I've never been in this ocean before, I stand with just half of my feet in the water
      I see the waves gently crashing, the sand is incredibly white, almost pearlescent
      Though the shore is only two or three feet deep along the side of the road which is very close to the water
      The water is turbulent, not really wavy but I can see peaks
      The water is also darker than I expected, it looks different than other seas or oceans I've been in
      I'm very excitedly explaining on the phone what I'm seeing and I'm so happy to be in a new place with G

      As I'm looking around more I see almost what look like high-end villa sort of enclosures
      They all seem like streamlined verandas of organic shapes terraced multiple levels high and built into the hillside all facing the ocean
      There are random pieces of furniture scattered about and little curtains hanging around doorways
      I'm wondering if maybe these are timeshares or if people live here
      I don't see any place for beds or anything so I'm really confused as to the layout
      We're just kind of adventuring around different passageways
      I seem to go inward too deep and through a curtain there's an older woman wearing flowing clothes who is obviously staying here, she comes out to meet us but doesn't say anything
      Apologize turning around we walk back out towards the sea

      I am walking down the road by myself now
      I seem to be wearing some traditional garb that fits loosely, like multiple layers with the outer layer covered in decorations and a vibrant blue color
      As I'm walking I notice a group of people almost like a religious gathering in the street
      They are walking towards me slowly like a meditative walk
      As I get closer I see it's mostly younger children with maybe a half dozen adults in the center
      They are all wearing matching garb of blues and reds, which also match my outfit
      They're playing chimes and flutes while walking in a very specific way almost like a dance
      So I step to the side to let them pass but one of the men in the group sees the way I'm acting and shouts “Continue walking!”
      Saying over and over again “Just walk straight ahead with your hands at your side, just walk straight ahead with your hands down, just walk straight ahead don't stop!”
      I gather I have done something culturally improper and he is correcting me
      So I continue to walk forward just looking straight ahead and walking through them as they pass through around me
      I see now they all have ornate decorations all over their shoulders and down the front
      They all have hats on which almost look oriental, flared up on the sides with a round top with colors that match the rest of their outfits
      The feeling as they pass me is almost mystical as I purposely attempt to not look directly at any of them

      I am in my parents' house now and I understand this is before we left for the Philippines
      Getting ready to go pack up and I’m told someone is at the front door for me
      It's not the person I'm expecting as I glance down the stairwell from the second floor looking out the front door I only see a pair of very tan very long legs
      Coming down the stairs closer I notice it's a woman in a red dress with blonde shoulder-length hair and bright blue eyes
      I recognize her immediately as Tricia Helfer from battlestar
      Stepping out to meet her I remember when winning the trip to the Philippines I randomly messaged her inviting her to come on the trip with us, even though I knew it would be a long shot, there was no way they would respond but here they were on my front door to go on this trip with us, she seemed excited too
      Complimented her on how good she was in battlestar and told her that I loved everything she brought to the character and how impressive it was that was her first acting gig
      Also that I understood why she hasn't wanted to try to revisit the role or just try much more in Hollywood since then because it was so popular, she tells me about how she wrote a film called Invertigo but it never got made
      The dream fades as we’re laughing and just generally chit-chatting on the front porch

      Fragment

      I am in a music store that seems to be having some special release party
      It’s locked to the general public and we’re all vibing inside
      There are maybe a dozen people and I only recognize a couple
      Christina Ricci is sitting in the corner with some friends
      The dream fades with the general murmur of layered small talk and chill music playing

      Gun Game

      Firearm situation with teams of people against each other
      I am with friends it is very tense like an action sequence
      Arming myself with various weapons and matching clips/ammo
      Have long x-ray scope I can snipe with, on some random rifle
      Take out two of the other team on the rooftop of the opposite building
      One enemy is in our building
      He casually walks through the door of our hotel room wearing a silver vest and smiling, he looks like liev schreiber
      I unload both clips of the auto pistols I have that look like pez dispensers
      He seems fairly unaffected and I instantly think he's cheating
      He shoots me a bunch with his auto but they feel like bbs or airsoft pellets while saying he messed me up really bad
      He has also stolen several pairs of my colored glasses and pulls them off his hip and hands them to me, I note they are colours I don't normally don't have like white and several brighter shades of green
      (Note: I hardly play fps games and do not own a firearm)

      Nooooooowiiieeeee!

      I am in a dark large house on the second floor that has banisters wrapping the walls covered in fancy paintings
      A toddler maybe 4 or 5 runs at me shouting a play name for me "Nooooowwwwiiiiieeeee!" and they hug me like they are glad to see me after some long time. I say thanks I really needed that and the dream fades

      White Carpet

      The room becomes a very nice house
      I arrive out front of a very open all-glass wall seated in a rock wall with the front door wide open
      I realize I just woke up on the driveway with my head on my pillow
      There is a man who looks like Anthony Fauci sitting in a small round car that looks like a jetsons car with wheels, he is watching me stand up slowly
      I pretend to be ready to work, so I wave as I carry my pillow inside
      The foyer is all glass and opens to an ultra-wide stairwell leading down into their home
      The wife is in a flurry is getting ready to leave for work
      I tell them the service guy is here because I don't know what work I'm doing
      Now realize I am doing contracting work for a friend
      Long open floor concept spreading three of four rooms across and she wants all the white carpet ripped out
      I say no problem as she leaves for work
      I go outside to call Chris to double-check he's coming with the truck
      I am transported to the work warehouse and I'm hanging onto the back of the truck while talking to two other female employees
      One is obscured by a forklift
      We are back in front of the house
      The woman is finally leaving the driveway
      It is a very ritzy neighborhood and I see other fancy cars driving by
      For some reason, I ask her if the Bidens live up here
      I go back inside and start ripping the carpet up
      It is double layered and I realize it will take twice as long
      It's also double-sided with a black suede flowers pattern on the underside
      I now notice there is a difference of off-whites between the carpet in the kitchen and the carpet in the middle room as I haphazardly start to rip it up with a pair of scissors I found
      Realize I don't have any of my tools or kneepads and it's going to be a long day

      WBTB- Drank some blue lotus stamen tea, awake around 30-40 min
      Dream is nonsensical and a mishmash of the previous locations and people I interacted with. Did not get it written down

      Fragment of trying to journal my dream on my phone with little success
      Continually delete what I typed and tried several times to just get a single word to input correctly
      The dream fades and I wake up realizing I never journaled my dream
    4. South Carolina Nostalgia, Fragments, and Vertical Podracing

      by , 12-14-2020 at 08:32 AM (Oneironautic Escapades)
      12/13/20

      I return to South Carolina and see my first girlfriend T. It has been over twenty years since we've seen each other. She looks very similar to how she did when we were younger, just more mature, but still petite with incredibly fair skin and blue within blue eyes. I remember the house where she grew up and I meet her family again.
      They both give me a hug, it is nice to see them. Upon waking up I realized her parents had been swapped with the parents of a girl I dated while in highschool. Only they were older, the dad had a mullet and the mom had different glasses. I seem to remember they separated IWL, but they are back together now and happy.
      They are also really happy to see me again. T and I hit it off again and begin being affectionate with each other, just closeness and some cuddling.
      She doesn't mind her family seeing us together though I feel like she would be embarrassed. We are older now and have mutual respect.

      I am in a sort of restaurant gift shop area.
      There is a creature which looks like a mix between a Gryphon and an Owl. There is a game which is the shape of a vhs tape I play, then give it to someone else to give a try. The entire place is wooden engraved cherry coloured walls handrails and windowsills, there are stained glass windows as well.

      I am in my room playing with a remote control spacecraft I have constructed. It looks like a softball sized 3d printed moon with a horizontal directional small propeller and a larger vertical propeller almost like a drone.
      It can hover and move around the area with great accuracy. My neighbor shows up and I am excited to show him my new invention.
      Not even 10 seconds into explaining it to him he interrupts "Oh! I had a great idea for one of those let me go get it to show you". I am somewhat annoyed but compliant and he leaves to go across the street to get his notes. While I wait I go into the backyard.

      There are two back decks connected to the house almost identical. I jump down the stairs and wonder how I managed to jump that far without feeling it much. I keep going back and forth between the decks overlooking the yard. One of them has an incomplete dream catcher which has some spider webs hanging off of it. I am cautious to not disrupt the webs while leaning over the banister. I question the layout of the decks and imagine perhaps they are apart of separate houses, like I have snuck into my neighbors house perhaps (many moments of questioning the dream without fully understanding the truth of it).

      I am now on a floaty chair/boat in a pool.
      My friend has always been obtuse and somewhat obnoxious and I imagine while relaxing on the floaty the possibility of him coming and jumping on me into the pool. Sure enough he does and gets stuck in the chair as it flips over. I have a moment of panic as we are both stuck in the floaty upside down underwater, but quickly right the incident due to being able to breathe underwater. I yell at him when I surface and we begin chasing each other.

      The chase picks up speed and I am now driving a roadster/batmobile/hydroboat with two hand levers like a podrace. I am navigating hard turns by pulling on each lever in an intuitive manner. I am driving up a wall now and it is almost like a skyscraper. The building morphs and twists as I rise up and I intend quicker and quicker speed. I almost feel lucid in my control but still abide by the mechanics of the dream. The sides of the building now resemble a torus or a mobius strip along the windows. I push faster attempting to stay stuck to the inverted walls while zigzagging upwards. The dream fades.
