I dreamed that Craig, Ty and I were at a bookstore. We were talking about Schoenberg and developing variations. We got into a very interesting discussion about developing variations in relation to Jazz music. We then started talking about Brahms. I don't remember actually thinking about Brahms, but actually going into a very in depth conversation about 20th century music. I was taking very detailed notes and I kept having epiphanies about music. We started looking at books and found several amazing books and records. Craig commented on how many rare jazz records the bookstore had for sale. The conversation concerning 20th century music so complex that it took up the majority of the dream but I cannot remember in detail.
Good morning, everybody. Dream #1 Something about fried chicken. Dream #2 I was in a huge room like a gymnasium. The gym was unlit, and the only light that came into it seemed to be from a fluorescent light in some other room. The gym was full of either mattresses, or just blankets, lying on the ground. Young men, and possibly young women, may have been sleeping on the mattresses. In a room just off to the left of the gym was a small, kind of narrow room, like a room for an art exhibition. A woman was somewhere in that room. She was like a talent scout. She was going to audition everybody in the room for some kind of show she was putting on. We all had to lie down and wait to be called for our audition. Eventually I knew I had been called. So I stood up. I was naked. I had apparently masturbated and ejaculated all over the blanket. There were pools and pools of the stuff all over. It looked like some kind of meat grease, too, with an orange tint to it. I was terribly embarrassed by the condition I was going to have to leave my space in. It was disgusting that everybody would see what I'd done. But, then again, I considered that maybe everybody here was required to masturbate. Maybe it was a part of the whole process. I also thought that if any girls walked by my bed they'd be impressed by how much I could make. I walked into the narrow room. There were three video monitors embedded in the floor, in the center of the room. The monitors were about the size of a big HDTV. But they were old, conventional boxes, not flat screens. The monitors were showing some kind of colorful scenes in a video-style. But, other than the light of the screens, the room was totally dark. The edges of the room were very dark. The woman lurked in a corner of the room, off to my right. She may have stepped forth at one point. I kept watching the monitors, though, as if this were a part of my assignment. Dream #3 I was inside a structure like a nice house. But I was at the end of a hallway, and just around a corner from me was an amusement park. I could see one of the rides: a rotating column with hydraulic poles coming off of it. At the ends of the hydraulic poles were airplanes. As the airplanes went around in the circle, the people could use hand controls to move the airplanes up or down, out or in. This amusement park ride was in some Middle Eastern country which was predominantly muslim. And for some reason, amusement parks were looked upon here as sinful. I saw three girls together, wearing head coverings. I knew they were in deep trouble for being here at all. I walked back down the hallway and into the living room of the house. As I did I came to understand that the amusement park would eventually prevail. People in the country would eventually come to accept amusement parks. And the amusement park would eventually grow. But until then, people, especially women, would probably be persecuted for going to the amusement park. Dream #4 It may have been a cold and drizzly night. I had just walked into some diner -- more like a chain restaurant in the "diner" style, like a Denny's or a Perkin's. I walked past a booth-style counter and then past a few rows of booths. I walked past a group of late-night diners, men and women, maybe in their early thirties, all kind of beautiful and boisterous. I turned left and sat in a kind of big alcove of tables that had booth-seats on one end and regular seats on the other. I notice two big, empty rooms of booth-tables off behind me and to my right. I sat down and opened the menu. The group of late-night diners were maybe five meters off to my left, and I could still hear them talking and joking with each other. I kind of hoped they wouldn't notice me and start trying to annoy me. I looked at the menu. Apparently it was only a dessert menu. I got to a page of what looked like malted milkshakes. But instead of being called "shakes" or "malts," they were called something else. There was a picture of a few malted milkshakes surrounded by pies. A waitress came up to take my order. But she may also have been talking to me a bit about the desserts. The desserts I'd thought were malted milkshakes were actually something else -- very much like a milkshake, but not quite.

Terminators, marines and Zombies oh my! Strange nightmare, I am watching, and I am taking part at the same time! I am running after or away from someone, I am the t800, I go into a cave but I can see that I am losing this fight - the t800 will be destroyed by my foe - so I try to switch my attention to the marines who are sitting inside a communications room - they must destroy this thing, (and I must become the marines - my perspective keeps changing) but I cannot change, I cannot leave the t-800, I must be him - but then I am on my own in the cave and a zombie steps forward - no way am I staying around here for any longer - I force my eyes open and wake up
Colour Code: What? When? How? 1) Breathe through pinched nose. Every time I open my eyes after even dozing off for juuuust a moment. 2) My 4-sided die. At Random moments throughout the day. I'll study it, look at it, feel it, test it by dropping it from one hand to the other. If it's logical and it does not float up or fall through my hand, I know I'm not dreaming. 3) Clock. Whenever I happen to be checking the time, I'll question its reality, look away and check it again to see if it's changed or become illogical.
Ok.. so I'm going to try this "All Day Awareness" technique, as described [here]. ..on second thought.. ..SAT (Sporadic Awareness Technique, as described [here]) is probably better, since I work in an office and have to concentrate on my job, rather than wondering whether or not I'm dreaming. It's kinda hard to explain my looking around while gazy-eyed, while I should be working on invoices etc.. I'll just randomly start paying attention to my surroundings, and specifically whether or not there is something unusual about them. I'm scared of WILDing, so this seems perfect for me ^^ I'm going to try it, starting NOW. I have this 4-sided die (it looks like a pyramid) that I always carry with me. Dunno why, I just do. So now I'll take it out randomly during the day and really study it, feeling its edges, feeling its pointy ends, appreciating its colour.. It also serves as a reality check. I simply wonder "hey I wonder if I'm dreaming!?" and then drop the die from my one hand into my other. If it does not float up or fall through, I'm not dreaming. Also, it has numbers written on it, rather than dots to count, so if the numbers don't make sense, I'll know I'm dreaming, too. Soooo I do awareness exercises and reality checks randomly throughout the day ^^ Let's see how that works ^^

A whole bunch of people were dressed up like Ewoks from Return of the Jedi, but not so small. Tall Ewoks. There were actually real "tall Ewoks" in the dream too. They were living in the Ewok Village up in the trees. The people dressed up like them were living in the village too doing a research project in the name of science. I remember clearly looking at a series of x-rays* of the tall Ewoks. (Even though I've established that looking at pictures should be a dream sign for me and I remind myself as I'm falling asleep that if I'm looking at pictures I should ask myself if I'm dreaming, once I'm in the dream I've always forgotten so far.) I am at Sluggo's and Kelsey is working. There is a Star Wars arcade game there. I'm waiting for someone who's playing to die in the game so I can play. Once it's my turn I say, "I'll be a Stormtrooper."
I just recalled my dream yesterday, or a part of it. I was riding a taxi from a place after some seminar. We were traveling on a road, and to the left, I can see an expanse of water. Not the sea, as far as I can tell. And the sun is there, rising, so I presumed it was the east. I arrived to the city's main area. It was night. The taxi turned a couple of corners. In the last one, I saw a huge statue head. It was familiar, but I forgot the look. It was in the east, beside the city hall, facing the plaza. I asked the driver if there are vehicles passing by my dormitory (the image of my dormitory in Bacolod came to mind), but he said it's already late. I arrived at the marketplace/vehicle station, and hoped that there are still some. I walked a bit, and on the road, I saw a jeep with passengers. I had a "wider" view of the area. The jeep is alone on the road, facing south, and I was looking at them from the south west. It seems... dark, but not too dark that I can't see. It feels like a pre-dawn setting.
I was riding a bicycle up Langley and I was stopping to pick honeysuckle flowers that I was going to give to my mom. Also this girl Tiffany from work, a cashier, arrived shortly thereafter. She asked which ones are the Doozers and which ones are the Fraggles. I'm like, "The Doozers are the little ones that build stuff, and I guess somebody has to be a Doozer." Then, there's some game that a bunch of people are playing. There's two dogs in the backyard. One of the dogs is Stevie. I don't know the other one's name. Then I look again out back and the yard is a waterfall. Stevie was swimming down the waterfalls. She looked like she was having a lot of fun. Then somebody said, "I love dogs." I took a bus ride with some girls I used to know from Thailand. As we exit the bus, I put a newspaper in the slot where the money goes. One of the girls says she'll sleep on the patio with a blanket. I was watching a basketball game. It was the Lakers versus somebody. The other team had Vince Carter. He's running down the court and another player threw the ball up for an ally-oop. Then Vince Carter jumped up to dunk it and he hit his teammate in the head with his knee on accident and gave the guy a concussion.
I have a hole in my front tooth. I go to the dentist and he says, "Oh, that piece has fallen right in." A piece that broke off my tooth fell into the hole in my tooth. He was able to get it out no problem. Same dream, I'm staying at a place that's kinda like the Crisis Stabilization Unit. Somebody said something that I can't remember, but as soon as they said it I took off running. And some other people did, but they went in a different direction. I ran to the Summer Drive house. When I got inside I locked the door behind me. Rhys and Ryne were in the house and also a cat. I was at work and I was going through the throwaways. There was a bunch of bags of lettuce that had filled up with air like air pillows or balloons. So I was going through them. I go to a class and we were supposed to do some kind of project. I'm sitting with a girl in two seats that were like movie theater seats. I don't know who she was. We were in the theater to watch somebody's presentation of a project they had done for this class. We were supposed to say whether we would be willing to watch more like that in the future. The teacher of the class was the dude Thomas who works in frozen foods. Kinda strange.
I was in Manila. I was with Rob, along with several people. Friends? Companions? It was like a club or bar, with a predominantly faded yellow color. I was flirting with a guy (didn't see his face until later), at first "accidentally" touching his hand (although I think he did it), and eventually holding hands. Then I heard Rob warn him about me being not able to stick to one person. He didn't say it behind my back, because in fact he asked me to verify what he said. I recall a comfort room, and then traveling. I was in Cebu. I crossed a number of streets, and I remember having some companions, a least one guy and girl. The color was grayish, and early morning. Then I came to a street, and there's a huge bridge over us. I saw Leo T., and asked him for directions. I thought the vehicles traveling the street right before us lead to SM (a mall), but he said no, they returned to the "old" route, so they're in another place. Then I thought that means the vehicles before us pass by the dormitory I need to go. Then the companion I was with became Bhebs. (I just recalled my dream yesterday, or a part of it. I was riding a jeep from a place, near some water places, and then to a marketplace/bus station, and hoped that it would pass by the dorm. Waited. Rode a jeep. Will continue later.) I was in a mall with Crix. I was looking for Gaisano (a mall). She talked to me about my flirty attitude. I then remembered the guy, and "remembered" his face, or rather the side of his face. He's not good-looking at all. I was riding a vehicle going somewhere, with other companions. One talked about a cause in Maryland. I said it's too far.
Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** ****************** I wake up, remember my dream, grab my phone to blog it, and boom it's gone >_< All i remember is a white corridor with black architectural supports. It's as if i'm walking through it with my head tilted to the left. We had to go get something for someone, but don't ask me what or for whom.. I've just remembered something. My friend told me the necklace I gave her is broken, and I remember dreaming about that necklace. I saw it in its broken state, in my dream. It's a little black ball with siny gem-like plastic things on it, and in the dream I could see a chunk missing.
My dad becomes a millionaire overnight and becomes the boss of a new company that gets rid of bugs. They make insect repellent. I learn that from Rich because I went with Ryne over to their house. He was brewing a pot of coffee when we got there. Ryne was like, "Hey, Dad, Chris is here." That's when he told me. We went outside and there was an old woman who said, "The sky waits a yonder." I looked out towards the sky and the colors were so bright and orange and blue. It was like what Stephen Berlin called a transcendent dream because I saw colors that were too real for reality. They were far beyond anything I would see in waking life. They were outside the normal color spectrum. (That sky was probably the coolest dream I've had since I started this dream journal. I woke up excited about it.)
I am living back at the Summer Drive house and I have two friends over. Well, I thought they were friends. One of them is German and the other one is trying to get the German arrested. He's calling the cops. I'm telling my mom that he's doing this and that this guy's crazy and he needs to be kicked out of our house. I'm on a computer looking at pictures* of a bunch of different dominatrixes and trying to choose which one, but I don't want to choose any of them. Then the guy says that he wants to arrest the German. He wants to arrest anybody he can. He wants to get his foot in the door so he can become a police.
I remember getting in an argument with my ex-girlfriend Noelle. I'm not sure what it was about, but I remember feeling jealous. Later on, Jefferson and I were looking at pictures* of different cobra snakes: king cobra, and other types of cobra. We were talking about which one is the most dangerous and which one we'd be most scared of. I had to jump from one place to another and there was water in the middle. I had to dive into the water to get to the second place. I was talking to Jeff and he was talking about how to be safe. He said I'm better off getting a professional to help me. Also, I was explaining to somebody that usually for exercise I play ping pong or air hockey. I dreamed that there was an animal outside my tent. (There may well could have been, cause I was actually camping in reality that night and earlier there was an armadillo right outside my tent that woke me up.) In the dream I heard something walking around and I was like, "Hey, armadillo, is that you?" But it sounded like something bigger and heavier than that and I thought it was a bear. I was scrambling to get my glasses on and my flashlight to find out what it was. Then I woke up.
For the last three months I have been awake at 7:13 every morning, No alarm clock as I have two that awake around 8am. I usually get up around 5:30 am to get my husband off to work then go back to sleep and thats when the very intense dream starts. At 7:13 I awake and feel wore out and cant go back to sleep. I have a relative that says I needed to research 7:13 in the bible (fyi I believe in Jesus but dont go to church) So I researched that info it was very disturbing!! Someone please give me a better insite as I do not like the research I have read!! FYI I have been recording my dreams since a young girl and never came across this!!
