Dream from a nap I took in the evening:

I'm camping with Katey, Robbie, and Paul. I believe we are somewhere out near Mt. Toro. It's dark, and we are running around the campsite. At one point I almost run and jump into a coyote and nearly have a heart attack. There is another family at the campsite, though they are not with us.
----------
I'm driving my dad's car from the backseat. I have little control over the car, but I continue to drive. I look in the rearview mirror and see an individual's midsection; I can't tell if they are running after me or not. Before reaching a highway intersection I successfully pull the car over.

Into: Okay, for those of you who were paying attention to the first part from yesterday, i appreciate it, It means alot. But onward to the story! I've notice something today when I woke up like around 3 in the afternoon.(I sleep in longer so my dreams are too, smart huh? XD ) That the story from yesterday and from the day after, it's all connected to my aunts house. The only person I know that lives near the woods. And across the street from it. And in order to get there I have to catch SEPTA (South Eastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) Buses, Trains, Trolleys, is some of the things that I have to take to get there.


The Black Cougar Pt. 2

When I fell fast asleep, my dream started almost instantly. I was waiting for the 11 trolley to take me to Center City Philadelphia, from there, the Broad St. line to Olney TPC (Transportation Center) and then I'll walk there to her house. The trolley finally came and I got on. I meet up with an old friend from elementry school, Richard was his name, I asked him wassup? how you been? He replied back Ah, chillin man, just came back from my girls crib. Bout to head back up to olney. Im headin up there too, To my aunts house I said. So we sat on the trolley, catchin up from our childhood at school. Then we made it to Center City and as we were walking to the Broad St. Line, Three guys was just leaning on the wall lookin at us. We both looked back at them, and kept walkin to the train station. As we were waiting for the train. I looked down the tunnel to see if it was coming, but instead i saw the black cougar, walking down the middle of the tracks, showing no fear of the train. But I blinked, and it was gone. And then, it felt like my back had weight on it, whatever it was, i took it off and it was my bookbag. And im thinking to myself where the hell did this come from? Then i remembered that it was a dream, so I opened it and inside was 2 Japanese swords. WTF is going on? I thought. I heard yelling and sreaming from upstairs. Me and Richard looked up the steps, but the screaming stopped. He looked at me and said Better get ready. I said For what? wtf is gonna happen?! Your worst fears are letting out Brandon he said as three demons just like appeared in front of us. I'm not scared of monsters or whatever these guys are i said, Its losing my friends and Family is what im worried about. Then i put one katana on my back and the other on my right side of my thigh. I was ready to fight but then I remembered that Richard didnt have anything to defend himself, i looked at him and he pulled out two pistols. Ard, i thought to myself, He'll be okay. One demon stepped up to me and i quickly drew my sword, cut off his arm then his head. He drooped to the ground and turned to dust. Another one took a step toward Richard and i heard a click. That wasn't good. It was empty. He brought a gun with no bullets to a fight. I jumped in front of him and told the demons to back off. It laughed and they both tried to attack, i drew my other sword and cut them both down. Next time brig bullets I said. Yeah , I wont forget he said.... Then I woke up.

I have trouble arranging dreams in the exact order they occurred. Also, sometimes I find it difficult to keep them from merging within my mind before I wake up to write them down. This sometimes results in a bit of confusion when I finally get to writing down my dreams in my journal. Last night, I had what now seem to be three separate lucid dreams within my first six hours of sleep. I have tried to arrange them in the manner that seems most right.

The first dream I can remember involved a recent road trip I went on. I was traveling by myself through small towns in the west, and I was being followed by a hobo who wanted to take my money or something. This was a bit scary but not, like, a full on nightmare or anything.

Somehow, this dream morphed and I was walking in a retail store. I think it was a Wal Mart or something. Anyway, the main aisle became a sort of highway and there were people lined up along the sides watching me. I felt strange and the whole scenario seemed off. At first I thought that they knew something about me and the cop was going to find out this secret. I didn't even know the secret! Eventually I figured it out: I was lucid and they were dream characters. This made me feel great but I didn't really know what to do so I just strolled around the store talking to my DCs and enjoying myself.

There is a gap and I believe that last dream ended, sending me into a false awakening. I remember waking up in my bed. I instantly felt that something was off, so I did a reality check. I pressed my right pointer finger into my hand and it went right through. I had that EUREKA feeling again and got very excited. I jumped out of bed and looked for a way out of my house. I saw the window and burst through it, flying very hard in what would be a eastern direction. I ended up at a nearby elementary school, the one I attended as a child. I stood in the field and wondered what to do from there. So I guess I created a tower and started climbing it. Then I decided that it should be winter and it started snowing. This was awesome! I pretty much just jumped around on this tower, slid down it, made snow angels, etc. etc. I was having fun.

Eventually, I think this dreamscape morphed into a more alien landscape. I remember sitting under the tower and enjoying the knowledge that I was lucid. Looking about, I was in a new place, a place not familiar to me. I entered a nearby bunker and saw my ex there. This was strange but I accepted her as real. I think that was part of the reason that I started losing dream clarity and lucidity. All of a sudden, the bunker (which reminded me of an old church) started being shot at by nails. Strange. So I promised her I would get the nail-shooter to stop. I went out into the cold and started running in the direction of the assailant. But I fell down a hill and my father was down at the bottom. He had a fire going too and my two boxer dogs Chester and Georgie were down there too. He made me watch after them, even though I told him that I was having a lucid dream and I needed to go. I ended up falling asleep there by the fire and lost lucidity.

This was an exciting night of sleep but I think I have to watch out for dream characters because I tend to believe they are real and they tell me to do stupid things. Also, I never really know what to do when I become lucid, so usually I just fly around and get really excited. Haha. What should I do? If I focus on plans before I go to bed, will this influence my dreams?

On the night of the 28th, I went to bed at around 2 in the morning and so I set my morning alarm for 8. In that first period of sleep, I remember very little dream wise. I got up to use the bathroom and read over my dream journal for the past few days. Then I very quickly fell back asleep, but not before doing a bit of the MILD technique. I fell asleep chanting "you will know when you are dreaming."

So I was in my basement. This was a dream of course, but it was a very realistic representation and I accepted it as reality. I looked out the window and saw a group of individuals who I can only describe now as super-villains. They were wearing weird costumes and I could tell they were up to no good. This should have been a good opportunity for a reality check, but I missed it. I ran upstairs and told my parents that there were evil people trying to blow up the house. So we all found weapons around the house and got ready to fight them off. This would have been another good opportunity for an RC. But nope.

I had found a weapon which was a combination of a kukri, a gun, and a camera lens. One super-villain struck me as very dangerous because I could see that she had a sniper rifle. So I shot her three times in the head. But she did not die... So I ran upstairs and asked my dad "how do I kill that lady?" And he responded: "Just shoot her in the head!" Well I already had. Three times. Finally, this struck me as strange. All of a sudden, she was in the house and coming right for me. At that moment, I became lucid.

I remember spinning around with the kukri and chopping her in half. But I was way too excited and my spinning motion sent me right up into the air and literally through the roof. So I was flying. I knew this would be difficult to stabilize. I sort of levitated, and then would drift over to things as I focused on them. But all I could really focus on was clouds. Eventually i lost lucidity and woke up.

I did have other dreams that night/morning, but this one was cool because of the lucidity and the flying. I thought I would share it.

[PT] Sonhei que a igreja perto da minha casa estava em festa. Uma mulher ligou para minha casa e me perguntou: "O que a igreja significa para você?". Fiquei um pouco pensativo. Ela disse que daria um tempo para eu pensar e retornaria a ligação mais tarde. Fiquei pensando no que eu responderia quando ligassem novamente. Após algum tempo, o telefone tocou. Era Eduardo (um amigo meu que pretende ser padre no futuro). Ele repetiu a pergunta. Eu respondi: "Bem, eu fiz catequese nessa igreja, e fiz muitas amizades aí. Algumas dessas amizades eu mantenho até hoje. Então, eu posso dizer que, para mim, a igreja simboliza a amizade e a união.". Eduardo riu, mas gostou do que eu disse. Não lembro de mais detalhes.

[EN] I dreamed that the church near my house was on holiday. A woman called my house and asked me: "What does the church mean to you?". I was a bit thoughtful. She said she would give me time to think and would call me later. I wondered what I would respond when she calls. After some time, the phone rang again. It was Edward (a friend of mine who want to be a priest in the future). He repeated the question. I replied, "Well, I did catechism in this church, and made many friends there. Some of these friendships I hold till today. So I can say that, for me, the church symbolizes friendship and unity.". Edward laughed, but liked what I said. I do not remember more details.

NOTES

This was Sunday night. I invited a bunch of people by text to the Moon, and a lot showed up, but I don't think they remember.

***

Party in the City of Nowhere.

Carnival.

Rave.

Music.

Firespinning.

Tribal music. We make the sun set in the east.

The first part of my dream was me getting a phone call from my friend telling me she had the house to her self nd i should bring some weed and com over. I said okay and left my house to go meet my dealer. I brought a book with me called the fourth kind, real book, and told my mom i had to take this overdue book back. When i left the house it immediatley started to rain, so i took of my shirt so i could shelter the book from getting wet. as i kept walking towards down my rainy street, i reached the series of apartment where my dealer hangs by, i waited around untill they finally came out and brought me my weed. They didnt ask why i had no shirt. after i got what i needed i decided the library wasnt to far so i would walk there to. In the dream i thought it was about 8 o clock, i did not expect lots of people to be there. As i saw the library in the distance, i noticed i no longer was wearing anything except for a back pack. I asked my self wat has happend to al my clothes. I was nearing the library and noticed there was a shit load of cops there along with many other people, one of the liibrarians must have snapped or somthing. when i got on the premicise of the library a lady cop ran towards me and said freeze, she frisked me even though i wasnt wearing clothes which was teh least bit akward, and then removed my back pack. She rummuged through throwing my book in the gutter, upon where i said "youl have to pay for that book" and then pulled out my pipe and the weed i just purchased. She said aha, go home kid this is all mine now. I went home but naked wondering wat my neighbors would think. (i wake up mad my pipes gone )

NOTES

I am going to make a Planet!

I shall call it Planet Bob!

He makes a planit wit a midgit and a tree.

How about Planet Magica?

Gay!

Planet Thorax?

HI-5!

The gases swirl. It's beautiful. We watch it slowly evolve over millenia, like two gods sitting in silent wonder.

By the time there is sentient life, we both have long white beards to our knees. We point at each other and laugh.

We fly down to the planet and interfere a little bit, like mischievous gods.

It ends like a Warner Bros. cartoon.

Notes:
I went to bed at 3:00 AM last night and I was very tired.

It was fairly dark outside, the area illuminated by street lights, and I was in the yard in the front of an unknown friend's house, possibly for a party. Their house was two stories and all brick, except for the door and two large windows that looked like oak wood. There were a lot of people in the grassy front yard, I'm guessing at least twenty.

I heard this strange noise that sounded like a cross between a squeak and a balloon popping behind the house. A strange man rushed out from the back of the house (which was illuminated like the front and not dark) and said, "the chimney's blocked".

Now, I had my own idea of getting it fixed but my friend probably wouldn't approve of it.

I snuck over to the side of the house, which was completely flat brick and there was nothing to grab onto. I went around to the back, which was lit up by two large circular lights on either side, and saw that in the middle of the house, there was a long rectangular indent. This indent went all the way up from the ground to the roof, and it was a few feet deep. There were irregularly-shaped pipes coming out from the walls of this indent which I used to climb up the wall.

I had to grab the walls of the house itself a few times, because some parts had no pipe. I punched holes in the paper-thin brick walls to pull myself up.

this one is just a fragment. there were these boxes, some had symbols on them, i think that meant they were special or magical. sadly my sister rudely woke me up, and i forgot all of my dreams. i also think my mom was involved in the dream.

1. I'm performing in a play of some sort. My older brother is unusually angry at me, and tears up the costume I was supposed to change into next. As it turns out, he didn't like the subject matter of the play because he'd been given eight days to live.

2. We've managed to patch things up enough that my parents and I take him to a weird place where you can finish a college degree by solving a special jigsaw puzzle. There, we meet a death-spirit who looks like a giant Pikachu with an entirely black tail and has a soothing, deep voice. I have to leave the puzzle-room, but promise that I'll visit in dreams and give my bro a big hug. I eventually find out he summoned the spirit by drawing a special symbol on himself.

3. My friends, my goldfish, and I move into this house that's a miniature nation-state for people who are part Irish. Inside the house, we have to fight a bunch of bosses from Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy. To get our powers, we raise fake swords and Keyblades and recite a somewhat Green Lantern-esque oath to turn them into real weapons. During the fight, I cause significant damage by dancing on the long hair of one of the bosses.

4. I'm utterly depressed by earlier dream events, and decide it's time to summon the Pikachu-looking spirit to myself. My friends don't want me to leave, but they understand. So they help me assemble a comfy bed out of pillows and blankets, while I remove my clothes and draw the symbol- a small circle on the forehead, a vertical line all the way down the body ending in another circle, and upward-curving lines across my eyes, throat, chest, and hips. I lie down on the bed, and the yellow spirit arrives. He tells me to close my eyes, and then when I open them again, to get up. As I do so, I step out of my own body. Before we leave, I gently kiss my forehead, and the glass of my aquarium, where my fish has been trying to get above the water to join me. The spirit informs me that another of his kind will bring me my goldfish later, as it wouldn't want to be without me.


Gah. If there are two kinds of dreams I hate, they involve bad things happening to my brother or to my fishy. The first thing I did when I woke up was check Aristotle's aquarium and reassure him I'd never leave him behind like that, and the second thing I did was check my brother's Twitter feed to make sure he'd tweeted recently. (I must admit the scene of kissing the brow of my own body would make for a kinda neat sketch, though...)

Welcome to DreamJournal 2.6 (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

From what i recall, the dream started out with my family on vacation. My parents were having sex which is wierd due to the fact that they are getting divorced. We went to a (from what i think) a festival with fireworks then my paretns drove me and my sister to an old masion and i said in my dream "we have to leave during the night, the girl who lives her is an axe murderer". Right after i said that my sister looked back at me and i felt my whole body jolt upwards and i woke up.

After my first (albeit brief) DILD experience yesterday, I was hoping that i'd be able to catch on quickly. That was not the case this morning unfortunately, but it was an interesting dream none the less.

I spent the whole evening chanting, "I will become lucid" as I fell asleep. My mind apparently likes to screw with me, as I dreamed that I woke up in the middle of the night with somebody shining a flashlight into my bedroom through the window (which is right above my bed). Thinking someone was about to break into my house, I flip out and leap out of bed, grab the bat that is propped up next to it, and run to my door in a groggy stupor. My door is unusually hard to open, and I begin to wonder, "Wait is this a dream?" and then I woke up. My heart was pounding, but at least nobody was breaking into my house that time around XD

Stupid brain.

I'm at the park and it seems to be around midday. There's a large play area, like the ones for kids with the swings, the seesaw, the slide et cetera. I go up to a small zipwire that takes you from one platform to another. Suddenly, when I hold the contraption that connects me to the wire, everything seems bigger, the height, the fall and the distance across. I feel like there are many people behind me waiting for their turn too. B' right behind me and he tells me I should go. I zipwire through the air, at a fast rate. I land back in the park's platform that has a joint yellow slide. Strraight after I land B follows. He pushes me as he goes along. For a while, I just stare at his legs and then I'm somewhere else.

At this point, I'm in Wales, though I have no idea how I know that for sure, but the large mountains give me a big clue. I feel scared because I need to get to school somehow, yet I don't even live here! I feel mad at my dad who just left me at the pavement to find my way even though I didn't see him, I know he did. After desperately looking around, Natalie appears, and suddenly we're at her house, a nice beach type home with white walls and wood banisters. [In real life I have never been there but I'm glad my imagination created such a place]. I'm only with her for a while, for when I go downstairs she's not there anymore. However, there is someone waiting below, reading a magazine with a cowboy hat on, Uncle Andrew. He says something but I can't remember what exactly, though I remember that he looked pleased to see me.. I look at him then go outside where strangely enough, I see old woman in dresses and old men in tuxedos walking in the street. It didn't feel strange at the time, instead I felt like I knew where they were going somehow and that it was a good thing. I wake up after that. -[I found it hard to remember this dream, partly because I had to wake up quickly to get ready to leave the house, but also partly because it seemed to move very fast, like I wasn't in one place for very long.]

should have posted this after the dream, even at least on the same day...but dream journaling needs some dedication that i didn't put in...now the dream's a little hazy...though i remember the nude woman because that memory stuck

dream

i walked into a bathroom kind of place...i don't think it was meant to be a bathroom at first...a public bathroom...but once in, i notice it is full of women, and i see one nude woman with an attractive body standing among some other women, as if at a communal shower area. i only see her back, full bodied, but not the face or the breasts. yet i find it attractive and i'm thinking of her brown nipples. in the dream, i don't stop to indulge however. upon realizing i was in a women's bathroom, i turn to exit...

i enter the men's area i believe...and the dream continues but i don't remember...
