      In which I look for a telephone...

      I'm walking around downtown Austin looking for a cafe where I'm supposed to meet some friends. I can't find the place, so I step into a music shop and ask the owner if I can use his phone. He doesn't have one, but he directs me to a flight of stairs just outside his building, leading up an alley of a brick wall to a second story restaurant. I go up there and see a large wooden hostess table on which there is an old fashion rotary phone. I try to sneak a dial, but an employee tells me that the phone is only for customers and that I must leave.

      In which my ring gets stuck on my finger...

      I'm wearing my emerald pinky ring at dinner. I have a habit of twirling it around my finger when I'm talking. I am doing this, then I slip it on my ring finger. It gets stuck, and I can't pull it off over my knuckle. I try to slide it off with spit, then I dip my finger in my wine glass to try to loosen it. The person with whom I'm dining thinks this is gross. He then offers me a tab of butter from the roll basket.

      "Use this," he says. "Haven't you seen Last Tango in Paris?"

      I try to lubricate my finger with butter, but the ring still won't budge.

    2. multiple choice test; staircase race

      by , 01-11-2012 at 02:25 PM
      Good morning, everybody.

      Dream #1

      I was in a classroom, sitting at a desk or a table. The desks, I think, were all joined together for each row, so each row of desks was like a long table. I sat at about the middle of the classroom, and just a bit to the right of the center of the row. The room was lit with a dim, drab, greenish fluorescent light.

      I was probably myself, at my age. But I was sitting among a bunch of kids in about sixth grade. Everybody around me was probably Latino.

      I turned around to my left and faced the back row. Everybody in the classroom was getting ready to take a multiple choice test. I was telling everybody in the row behind me how important this test was, but how everybody would do well in the test, because everybody was really smart.

      The test had now begun. I noticed that one of the kids, a boy sitting more toward the left of the center in the row behind me, was doing his test in a weird way. The boy was kind of overweight. He wore a black heavy metal t-shirt. He had his hair shaved into a style a bit wider than a mohawk.

      I remarked to somebody in the row behind me -- either a woman my age or a girl the boy's age -- that the boy was answering all his multiple choice questions with only one letter -- either "c" or "d." I laughed at this, hoping to share the laugh with the woman or girl. I probably implied that only a stupid person would answer all his questions with the same letter.

      But now the test was over. I realized what I'd done. After I'd given such a nice speech, telling everybody how smart they all were, I'd singled out one boy as being stupid. I may have caused that boy to lose faith in himself. And I may have made myself look like a cruel kind of idiot to everybody else.

      So now, to make up for what I'd said, I started giving some weird speech to some group of kids (and an adult?) near me. It was intended for everybody to hear, especially the boy. But I was acting as if I were just saying it spontaneously, and like I didn't think the boy was going to hear it.

      I basically said something about how everybody makes their own choices on a multiple choice test, and how everybody determines the choices that they make based on their bodily rhythms. So whatever patterns a person makes out of the choices on the test, those patterns are good, because they match the person's bodily rhythms.

      The boy stood up from his desk. He walked toward the right side of the room, then up to the door of the classroom. I could tell he felt bad about my having made fun of him. And I could tell he thought the speech I'd given in an attempt to make him feel better only made him think I was an idiot.

      I called out to the boy before he left the room. I said something to him, but I don't remember what. The boy turned around a little bit, not facing me, really, and said something to me, kind of mocking the way I'd made fun of him.

      Dream #2

      I was in some building. I had headed away from the first floor atrium of the building, and was now headed up a stairway. The stairway was wide and went up to a second floor or mezzanine area.

      Another stairway, a bit narrower, went off to the right, from the second floor to some higher floors. This second stairway looked out onto the first floor atrium area.

      As I was reaching the top of the first stairway, a guy stood at the foot of the second stairway, looking down to the atrium area and talking to a woman who stood there. The building was really quiet, even though it was really big, and the woman was the only one down there.

      As I approached the staircase, I thought I'd just edge past the guy and let him keep talking. But the guy saw me, so he started walking up the staircase, in an attempt, I guess, to keep moving ahead of me. But he kept talking to the woman.

      The staircase had two sides, divided by a railing. At some point, I tried to get onto the other side. But somehow the guy was blocking my way from doing that as well.

      At first I kind of liked the guy. He was a white guy with pale skin, a kind of round face, a red beard, and read hair. He wore squarish, thickish eyeglasses, a cap, and a plaid, button-up shirt. He reminded me of a really nice guy I knew in New York, who now lives in Chicago.

      But the more I looked at this guy, and had to listen to all the crap he was saying to the woman, the more I realized I didn't like him at all. He even seemed to be getting fatter and more annoying-looking. I wasn't going to be patient with him. If he kept blocking my way, I was just going to push past him.

      But as soon as I pushed past the guy and started walking more quickly up the stairs, the guy started walking more quickly up the stairs himself, as if he had to keep up with me, or keep one step ahead of me. The whole time he was doing this, he was still trying to keep up a conversation with the girl down on the first floor.

      The staircase got narrower and steeper. Also, somehow, it got twisty, like a helix. I had kept going faster and faster, to get past the guy. But he kept going faster and faster, to match me. At some point, he finally stopped talking to the woman. The guy and I were just in an all-out race.

      By this point the staircase was so steep, it almost felt like it was inclining backwards. I had to hold onto the railing just to keep my balance. I didn't even know if I'd make it to the top of the staircase. For the final few steps, I had to close my eyes. The very last step was incredibly difficult.

      The top of the staircase was some kind of small area, like an administrative area in a university library. I walked past the balcony that was around a staircase, then through a small hallway, then into a little kind of hallway-like alcove off to the right.

      The man who had raced me to the top of the staircase was following me. We both sat down on a bench in the little alcove area. The guy sat to my right. He slumped over on his right side as we sat.

      The guy started complaining to me. He was upset that I'd beaten him. (I'd only beaten him by half a step -- if that much.) But he was making it sound like I'd purposely pushed him really hard. Because I'd pushed him hard, I'd injured him somehow. So he was going to get me in trouble for injuring him.

      I had stood up at this point, probably because I didn't want to listen to the guy anymore. I might have thought I was going to walk away.

      But now the guy stood up in my face. He wasn't wearing a shirt. And he looked a lot different. He was clean-shaven, with a square, close-haircut and brown hair. He had a wide body, like good muscle slowly going flabby. His eyes were, at first, kind of pale blue.

      The guy shouted at me that I shouldn't have pushed him so hard, because he had diabetes, and now his body was messed up in all kinds of ways.

      The guy's appearance changed a little again. His irises now had a pale, reddish tint to them. I even thought to myself, Is this guy an albino?

      And now, on the guy's chest, there was a tattoo. It was like a double-headed "triangle," or an abstract mountain with two peaks. But the left peak was slightly highter than the right peak. And in the body of this "triangle" was a vertical rectangle, solid black, with a wide, diagonal strip of white running across its center.

      I felt bad for the guy. I didn't mean to get his diabetes all messed up. Plus -- for some reason, the guy now reminded me of a female-to-male transsexual. Something about this was turning me on, like I was attracted to the part of the man that was still female.

      So I decided to be gentle with the guy. I tapped either the guy's chest or back with the back of my hand. The guy's body was still sweaty. We both sat down on the bench. I started saying something nice to the guy.
    3. Church fragment

      by , 01-11-2012 at 02:07 PM
      I dream a lot but I'm too lazy to write it down and think I'll remember it anyway ---Wrong! >_<

      I'm in church (mormon) and I want to take a seat but there's a poster on it. It says a woman is missing.
      I go to some kind of information centre. Can't remember why but it must have something to do with mormonism because the 2 guys who answer questions are mormons.
      There are many people gathered there to say goodbye to a girl I used to see at school but never talked to.
      I simply stood there, not knowing how to behave. She comes up to me, says: "I love you." and hugs me.
      I was really surprised. It felt a little uncomfortable but I also got a warm fuzzy feeling.
      I left the building and noticed my shiny black sneakers.

      dream for the 9/1/12
      I was trying to explain to my brother about chemical equations and molecules using milk bottle caps and string to connect them. In response he decided to move all the furniture around and eat pringles.

    5. Pub and fragments

      by , 01-11-2012 at 12:34 PM
      Dream 1
      I was sitting in one very comfy chair in a pub. I was alongside a man in a red t-shirt, I was also wearing a red t-shirt. The man had a pint and another man in a blue shirt walked up to us.

      I thought we were going to fight him because he was in another gang or something but the other man just welcomed him. We had a laugh and conversed.

      When we were on the out I saw a friend who I haven't seen for a while.

      Dream 2
      I was watching Manchester United play against a team in white shirts and black shorts. It looked like Fifa 11 or 12, United scored early in the first half, then feeling like time was slipping away Patrice Evra dribble all the way into the oppositions box and scored to win the game 2-0.

      I didn't realise I was dreaming even though I subliminally made it all happen from thinking the match was about to end even to the second goal. When I thought about when I sprinted on Fifa 11 and scored.

      Fragments
      I was reading my DJ entry from yesterday and someone said that I should put up pictures of X-Wings and TIE fighters. Which was one of my concerns last night. If people didn't know what an X-wing or TIE looked like.

      I finally did it! Immediately wrote it down when I awoke, althought I didn't get lucid until near the end of the dream.

      I was visiting a large shopping centre, in a bookshop. On my way out I was accused of stealing by the shopkeeper and she tried to grab me, I resisted because I knew I was innocent. Eventually I pushed her away from me and walked out the shop, at this point it became apparent that I was with some school teachers and I was a student. Obviously the teachers were very angry with my behaviour and started shouting at me as I walked away, ignoring them I carried on through the mall. Still walking away I noticed an old friend had come up beside me and told me that she skips school a lot with her friends. She then told me that they like to go and lucid dream when they skip school. We carried on walking until we left the shopping centre, outside it was a dark very cloudy night. Me and my friend sat on a ledge overlooking a back road down below, she told me that she wanted to jump down but she was scared of hurting herself. I looked at her and told her that it was a dream and it didn't matter, so she jumped and disappeared from my vision.

      It was then that an old style london taxi cab came reversing down the road below me, I read the last 3 numbers of the rear license plate, it carried on reversing until I could see the front license plate. I read the front plate, noticing it was different from the rear, I read it again and it had changed. This was how I became lucid.

      Lucid

      Realizing I was in a dream now, I read the license plate a couple more times noticing the changes. Telling myself I was dreaming over and over again helped me calm down a little. So I thought the next thing I should do is some more RC's, still sat on the ledge, I looked at my hands and tried counting my fingers and then pinched my nose while trying to breath.

      I remembered the next thing to do would be to stabilize the dream, so I started rubbing my hands together while taking my surroundings in. The sky was dark and cloudy but bright stars were still shining through casting light onto the scene. The shopping centre was still behind me and the road was below me, the taxi had stopped now. I stood up and looked back to the sky, I wanted it to be day. So I focused on where I thought the sun should be and snapped my fingers to try and change the time of day. Instead what happened was a flash of lightning. But as I watched I realised that the same area kept flashing with light, it looked like the sun was blinking on and off like a light bulb trying to turn on.

      Giving up I went into the shopping centre, where I noticed a door that wasn't there before. I was reaching for the handle when my sister opened the door and asked if I would like to come in, I said yes and squeezed past her. It was a very posh looking hotel room. She and her friends were sat on a bed counting down to midnight like it was new years.

      I'm not sure what happened really after that, I think I began to lose control of the dream and woke up not long after.

    7. A Girl and a Video Game

      by , 01-11-2012 at 11:50 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      A Girl and a Video Game

      I was with a S_t. I was behind her on a sofa, but we both fit. I was holding her around her waist, but we were both playing a game on the TV.

      On the game, we each had a home base to protect, and some things would come down to attack. The goal was to put your cursor over them and hit a button to stop them.

      It wasn't shooting them, but in a real game, we would have shot them. At one point, I saw and heard a space ship from Asteroids.

      When I had stopped all of the things that were attacking my home base, I started clicking on the ones that were attacking S's home base.

      Later, I needed to take the bus home a very long way. I don't ride the bus in w/l. I had given S all my change, so I needed a dollar. My friend gave me a dollar and as I put it in my wallet, I found a dollar, but I wanted the other one anyway so I could eat.

      I showed my friend he gave me a ten. He had only looked at the tiny numbers all over the bill and had mistakenly thought it was a single. I showed him and he was happy to get the ten back. I told him I would appreciate his change to give me another dollar since I gave him the ten back, and he gave it to me.

      I eventually got on the bus.

      At night i had 3 usuall dreams. In the morning i lied, relax and became rotate like in five tibetian d.... in first exicise. Then I imagine that i fly on the plane - I was sitting in the seat and saw small houses in the land. I looked at my palms not to lose the awareness. Then i don't remember, but made a portal in the ground and want to transfer to other place with DCs. I was in the bus and it was summer. left it and go somwhere - there was a beautifull view on mountains, i've just a bit lost awareness but said to myself went back to bus stop. There was about 10 DCs. I put hand to my pocket to find the firewoks, but it was empty. I tried once more... the pocket was empty again. I went to the DC and said - give me fireworks please. He gave me something like grain. It was interesting DC - the face untill eyes was closed by the yashmak and he has sun glases and he smokes, but then he bend a bit, i saw that behind the glases he had light like from bright lamps I ask him to fire the grain, but he said nothing. I touched the grain to his sigarette and put it on the land. Asked other DC to move, because he stood too close to fireworks. I made two steps behind...At first firework was like silver sand but then sand has finished and became show of new year garlands - they moved on the elepsis and in a circle. the firework was without sounds and about 1.5 meters high and about 1 minute. then I turned away and some of the DC touched me - I understood that he wanted to steal my attention and awareness.And I went to real. Most of this LD was with such common-mode interference. Like onTV. I don't know what is it and how to improve it. I have this noice in interface sometimes. If you have threat about common-modes on this site - please, give me a link

    9. Last nights dreams.

      by , 01-11-2012 at 07:53 AM
      I was driving down a road to a pub. I don't remember the journey but I was going to buy the pub. When I got there it was quite run down and under construction. There was quite a lot of business. I sat down and talked to someone.

      I was in a strange place overlooking a a hole in the ground. The hole was large and a perfect circle. My mum and some other people through a rope down the hole and we all started to climb down. When we go to the bottom we were in a tunnel and started walking down. We got to another hole going back up to the surface and this time we climbed up. When we got back to the surface I could see the hole was exactly the same as the first hole we climbed down, it was only a few hundred meters away.

      I was on a bridge with a friend who was crawling on the ground. There was a set of train tracks going through the middle of the bridge. There were many other people on the bridge and I couldn't see very far. A group of three people were ahead and playing around. They picked up some strange water-melon like fruit, I knew they were going to place the fruit on the train tracks. Me and my friend agreed they should be careful of the police who were also ahead. I had images of Thai police officers. One of the group grabbed the fruit ran up to the train tracks and jammed it quite hard onto the rails. The train came past but the melon did not get crushed and was OK. The train was being driven by a Thai police officer. I started explaining to my friend about a competition involving strange breeds of horses and mules. I had a name for them a "Reena". I looked into the distance and could see an arena with the strange horse like animal walking around. I explained to my friend that if you could successfully ride a half horse half mule then you win the "Reena" animal.

      I was watching a T.V which had footage of a father in a cave with his children. He was very upset and then got up and left. I was then in a helicopter with the police who were searching for him. The man on the run had left strange markers through out the bush-land that would shoot beams of light into the sky that were visible with the help of some glasses. The helicopter started to land at the nearest beams of light which were near a farmhouse.

      There once was a dream that I was a movie star. Everyone knew me and I was living in, I think it was California. Anyways I was like the most loved person in the world. Like people adored me so much. It was cool, like I was there master or even a god to them. But then some think happened. Randomly I was being Painted by this hot chick. I asked her why do you need me a painting. So I can put on the wall like your other once are, she said in a nice tone. What other once then I looked at the wall, there was at lease 12 of them. They all had me on it. I don't even remember getting painted. But then I realized that it was a dream I was so excited.
      I was having a lucid dream, my first one it was awesome. I did so many things liked the first I flue though a hall way and did much much more

      Dream 1
      I slept overnight in the gym that I train at and somebody showed up early in the morning and I was in trouble. I think she was about to go call the cops, so I tried to teleport out but it wasn't happening so I walked out the back door instead.

      Dream 2
      I was at like an indoor skating area and there were side by side continuous ramps, a lot of them. Instead of skating they were playing like a 3 man lacrosse game...on stilts and with no dedicated goalie. I played a little, but I spent most of my time trying to choose a helmet and goggles.

      I was chilling next to some random chick and she had a nice rump. I was feeling her up and she was liking it, but I was moving too fast. I was cool with the fact that she wanted me to stop. (I am guessing it is a little bit of info I can use in actual life...It is ok to push boundaries but be aware how fast you are going?)
