Part of my first dream was, I had macro vision, and the vision in the dream had such amazing clarity. Only rarely do things have such a clarity to them but I think this may have occured in last nights dream because while I was waiting for the bus home from work I was present without thoughts and my attention was caught by this tree which just stood rather tall and alive. I saw its green leaves move in the wind and the city buildings in the background behind it while I listened to Avey Tare - Cemeteries. I was present and my surroundings had clarity rather than the usual blurry nothing as I day dream about futures.

Dream fragment: Its like my eyes were macro or something. I was looking at the designs on a wallpaper, then these shards of grass that poked up, and had pollen and specks of water clinging to them. It was so clear. Someone called me from the right and the dream faded to another setting.
Dream fragment: I was reading a letter from a guy from work. It was difficult to read in the sunlight because it was two sheets and written on both sides with thick black felt pen. Also the paper had heaps of tiny colourful dots like a fuzzy tv set viewed up close. So I walking around looking for shade while still reading it. I managed to read: 'After four long years, I have proposed to my girlfriend Jess'. I didn't mind one bit that he was getting married. Lately I have had numbed emotions and they failed once again to react.
Dream fragment: I woke up and began recalling my dream, writing it on my hand. I found something unusual and off about the way I was recalling and I went to RC sure I was in a dream, then woke up for real.

Dream fragment
I was on a beach with some kids and we saw this really bright shining sparkley crab.

Second dream
Where the world trade center, twin towers in New York where the 9/11 happened, there was this masssiiivveee church, just as big standing all new in its place. The church slopped a bit. Me and some random dream friend ran up these stairs all the way to the top. We didn't take the lift. In the stair well, it was dim lit with plants growing on each floor and it was really earthy and nice. When we got to the top, it was cold and there was a fog below the platform we stood on, so we couldn't see down to the street below. There were priests and other religious people, giving us bunches of lollies sayin', 'throw them down to the streets below! For all the people!', because there were heaps of people on the street below all crowded around the church, it being new and all. So we threw them down into this fog we couldn't see past. I threw one out too far and it landed in these random icecream fridges on the same level as us... I kept throwing them down. I think there were pineapple/banana lumps..... These really tasty looking chocolates I saw at the Deli yesterday but didn't buy. I hear bells, ran down the stairs, talked to someone really breifly than ran back up and continued with my lolly dropping......mmm

Awake and forming logic
I figured, that because at the top, because there were walls and random 'floating' ice cream fridges and a fog, we were infact just being bribed into throwing lollies onto the floor of this level in the church, the very top level. It was like the priests little candy/lolly/icecream room. Its so strange. They have a little hangout where they can chill and eat ice cream and banana ( ) lumps. argh! I want a room like that!

Meh, this is little fragments of my dream last night. I was sitting on a curb and an MGMT song started playing. Then me and my brother I think started speeding of across some Tron like, green field in my old neighbourhood. But it was like some big boat made of glowsticks. I saw glowsticks on the ground and they flashed and doubled, and I picked them up. Then we looked over at the other people sitting on the curb and we needed them to look away when the song finished, and they did. Odd, whatever, that was strange.
I saw the little green beans girl from Oddsac! I sat down near her and some random and started taking poliroid photos. I took the poliroids from the camera and shook them and looked at them, but they all were obscured with random other things, like we were in one of those asian photobooths where you add the effects onto it. So I took another but the same thing happened. I should have recognised this as a dream sign.
The little girl wanted to go to a toystore. We were in the toystore looking around. I think I told her not to pick anything too expensive or something.
And thats it.

Waking life Non lucid dream Lucid
Sometimes in my waking reality (you know, not a dream life) I imagine that everything is around me and all the people are drawn and animated just like the movie Waking Life. Its totally cool and helps me with being conscious. Lately I have been reading Power Of Now, and I was in the city yesterday and just would switch on consciousness and drop my thoughts and emotions, just listen and be aware of the sights and movements, people and sounds.. I thought to myself at one point, its probably to late in the day to recieve a lucid from starting consciousness this late in the afternoon. But I thought, hey you never know! Anyway, I wasn't absolutely conscious all the time. When my mum, sister and myself left the bar we were at a gained consciousness of our surroundings again. (I wasn't drinking or anything! Just lemonaide and coke) I did 2 RC's as well. I counted my fingers and pinched my nose.

First dream

Theres quite some bit to my dream but I don't have much time to write it. Basically, throughtout my dream these girls kept attacking my little sister and I. I had a false awakening but didn't click on and recognise it like normal cause the FA was in the morning, instead of at night like it normally is. I layed in bed recalling my dream then I went and sat a table and wrote the dream down. I looked away for a moment and when I looked back two cans had replaced my book. I was conscious here and thought, 'hang on, but my DJ was there..'
I woke up and was pretty happy with recognising it and being conscious of my dream surroundings and strange occurances! My waking life consciousness was paying off well tonight. I fell back asleep..

Dream 2

The girls were still attacking us but this time they put a bomb in our room. My sister and I ran out of our apartment and into the elevator. My elevator is a dream sign cause its always different in my dreams. This time it had only floors 4, 5, 6, 7, G, B1, and B2. I became lucid. I tried the breath through my pinched nose but I had a blocked nose or something. I asked my sister some more RCs and she said to pinch myself. I did and felt no pain. The walls of the elevator were like a water feature and water ran down them. And there was no mirror anymore. I pinched her and we ran out the elevator and into a strange and changed enviroment outside. WHere the pool was meant to be was our bedroom again but this time the bomb didn't detonate. I tried some magic but it didn't work so I began to job behind the room (the room had no doors or roof which is another dreamsign of mine) and I said to myself that I will find my magic gloves. And there on the ground lay my rainbow 'magic' mittens. I put them on, but as I did, I happened to remember how on Dreamviews people say not to think about being asleep while in a lucid. I never use to but I rememebered that and did a bit. The vividness dulled.. The dream was slowly slipping but only gradually. I should have felt my enviroment. George Bush just so happened to be hanging out, siting on the ground against the wall. I went up to him and tested out my mittens, giving him seahorses for hands. He said 'You know what noises seahorses make?' and he made this really retarded noise. I tried to summon Jonas Bjerre (a singer from the danish band Mew! < 3 ) and he arrived. But he was asleep.. I woke up before I got the chance to talk to him! SJAHFAKJNFJKHAKSJNkj!

So yay! Thats pretty awesome. Lessons learnt: Consciousness does pay off! Recognise dream signs, make a note of them and RC when you see them or remember them for dreams later. Write what you remember, if only two or three things in your DJ when you wake up. It makes a difference.

I woke up at 3.30am or so. I think waking up an hour before my wednesday alarm is becoming a bit of a habit with my body clock. I should try and make the most of it and achieve some sort of lucid next time.. I remember the dream previous to waking up but made no note of it, so I can only recall the dream that occured between 3.30 and 4.40.

My sister had been upset cause her dogs had died, but she never had dogs in real life, but in this dream she did. Then later on she got 4 new dogs. I remember looking at them thinking they were a recognisable breed and that I should try and remember them so I can look them up later. Thinkin back on this, it seems like I was sort of lucid because, I was thinking I should google the dogs so I can show my sister. Maybe I wasn't.. I don't know. She was sitting on a kitchen floor, patting one of the dogs bellies and the dog had a big wide smile. Its head was abnormal and smile so wide..
Later on towards the end of the dream the house seemed bigger, and I recognised now it was a mansion. I was feeling happy cause it was an exciting feeling to own and be in such a big house.

Going to give mugwort a try soon hopefully and see if this improves any recall (I think my recall is rather bad lately) and also give me some strange dreams or even lucid..

I wanted to go outside, but not alone. I took my brother and sister with me. It was a big park with a path leading into the distance and great big trees with lots of shade. I climbed up the massive roots of one of the trees and onto a sort of moutain some meters above the ground. I looked around, then this gang of men showed up. They were talking to me and taking photos. I got real scared cause I thought they were going to attack me, then my brother came up and took me back inside. Along the way they kept following us and I kept my head down. On the path there were like these stingrays all lined up and breathing, staring at the sky and us as we walked by. They looked a bit more dinosaur like and had spikes too and they were all over the place. My brother took me inside. (and thats all I remember)

I've found my mind responds well to autosuggestion - in the case of lucid dreaming and wanting to dream of certain things.

Before sleep last night, I autosuggested to myself I wanted to dream of Julian Casablancas (damn fangirlism!) cause I've never dreamt of him before and it'd be cool.

And, well, whatdyaknow!?
My dream: I was with Julian Casablancas after he finished a show or something. We were in a suburb like place, with a long street, and green trees and bright green grass. My mums partner took a photo of him and I together. Then my mum came along and took some more. She told us to sit down for a photo on the ground, but I said 'geez this ain't some photoshoot!' and she stopped. I was worried about Jules feeling intolerant towards me or something.. This dream reminds me about the first time I dreamt of Animal Collective; I spotted them in a mall while I was cd shopping and I just took a dozen pictures of me and Avey. This is like how my dream self introduces itself to a new cleb character in my dreams I spose..
