30th of October, 2010

Humans had settled on Titan and turned it into a holiday destination. I'm not sure it was actually Titan, but that's what we called it and it was some distant moon, so we'll pretend.
We travelled there on this humungous mother ship and when we got off I just lay down and looked at the sky and yelled in utter joy.

This place was spectacular. Amazing. Totally alien yet utterly beautiful.
There were enormous super-highways high in the sky, which in itself was breathtaking; a hazy yellowish green with a constant red tinge. The selling point was the fact that this was a moon, and as such an enormous potion of the sky was filled with a planet that looked a lot like Earth.
I played around on Titan for a while, running through the beautifully architectured streets and incorporated rivers of shimmering liquid. All around people were driving strange automobiles and most tourists were walking around in just as much awe as myself. I played hide and seek with some locals.

I sold my car and while on a train saw a huge (I’m noticing while writing this that a lot of things in my dreams are described as “huge”- I need a new adjective) alien ship in the sky and started shouting about it in panic. We turned a corner and saw a while city was under attack. In the city, police were trying to keep order but people were mutating into these fierce alien monsters. I got chased by mutants who were tearing people apart left right and centre before running back to the place where I sold my car- a strange workshop with a big lift in the centre. I went down the lift into a bunker that was built into the side of a mountain, kind of like those pillboxes that machine gunners sat in during WWI, except several hundred meters off the ground. There I listened to the radio and heard about a resistance group.
While keeping guard with a bunch of new additions to the group, a helicopter came. We weren’t sure what it was so we hid. My friend threw a grenade at them before we realised they were the good guys. I got in this giant plasma gun and started firing into the valley. The alien ships came and caused the cliff to collapse so we jumped into these mech things and strode around tearing shit up.

It gets a bit hazy after that, except for the final revelation: The aliens turned out to be black people.

I've recently begun attempting to lucid dream and I've yet to succeed for more than a few seconds but my dream recall has been steadily improving. For my entire life I've struggled to get out of bed in the morning and recently this struggle has been playing itself out in the form of false awakenings.

A couple weeks ago I awoke in my girlfriends bed, despite being a couple hundred miles away, to the sound of my alarm clock. It didn't strike me as odd that my girlfriend was nowhere to be found and I rolled over to hit the snooze button... nothing happened. Next I tried turning off the alarm completely and still the alarm kept going off. Frustrated and confused I ripped the plug out of the wall to shut the thing up so I could go back to bed in peace but even that didn't work. Furious I took the alarm clock and smashed it on the ground breaking it into as many pieces as possible... but somehow the alarm continued to go off. I got so frustrated I gave up my attempt at going back to sleep and haunted by my alarm I grabbed some clothes and went into town to grab a cup of coffee. The entire walk my alarm still haunted me. My dream began to get a little more fuzzy as I continued on and for some reason began talking to a police office for a reason which I can't recall. The last thing I remember is realizing that I must be dreaming and decided to fly away from the sound of the alarm. Suddenly I (actually) woke up to the sound of my alarm, looked at my clock, and realized that I had just slept through my alarm going off for 20 minutes.

This afternoon I took a nap before going to work and once again had a false awakening. I was woken up by the sound of my garage door opening and my dad coming home from work early. He came in to my room and offered me a ride to work since I had to be there in 15 minutes (not enough time to walk) but when I went to respond my throat tightened up and I lost my voice. I then almost vomited (I have acid reflux so stomach pain in the morning is common) and developed an excruciating headache (also common for me in mornings for a reason I'm not sure of). I felt horrible and laid there in bed for a while contemplating how I could miss work but decided since it would be my last shift for a couple months I could get away with skipping it. I then somehow ended up in a local coffee shop waiting for my coffee to come out of a tube but the cups of coffee had gotten stuck (I really don't understand how in the hell my cup of coffee was coming out of a tube). I then realized I was actually at work, working at the coffee shop, and it was my job to fix the tube. They then made me sweep because I couldn't fix it. I then (actually) woke up, freaked out because I thought I had overslept, and looked at my clock to realize I had over an hour till I had to be at work. Though I was a little disappointed my dad hadn't actually come home which meant I had to walk to work.

4th of September, 2010

At Sally's house. She had a pet seal on the roof but it fell off and got chased away by cats. I ran after it and followed it through streets until it caused a huge car crash. I came to a building and broke off the door on the way in. It was a really Eastern European/rundown, depressing sort of place where the girls that lived there were all eating this strange black and white, checkerboard cereal.

I went upstairs and all at once found myself in an Indiana Jones style crypt where what I can only describe as 4th Dimensional lights were flickering in and out of existence while this awesome professor guy was talking about them. I watched them happily be for a while while this guy narrated what was going on in a voiceover.

It doesn't sound cool when written, but I woke up really moved by what I'd been privelleged to see and for the rest of the day felt like I had some kind of tiny new insight into the Universe.

I was playing with marbles with a few people around me. Most people thought it was wrong to be doing that but we didn't really care.
I was in a room with people in cartoon character costumes.
That's all I can remember. Not much but better than nothing.

1st of June, 2010

I was in the living room with my family at night time. Cups that were lying around started standing themselves up and flicking up into the air. Started getting a really strange vibe and eventually discovered it was a ghost from 100AD trying to communicate with us.

-----

Went flying in a helicopter over a sparsely treed mountain but one of the landing struts hit a tree and ripped a giant hole in the bottom. We rolled out and down the hill.

-----

On a drive with Nooks. We went through this strange suburb and I authoritatively turned to her and declared that "I've just seen the future of houses."
In hindsight they were pretty ordinary.

We stopped the car and walked into one of the houses and into the bathroom where we fooled around for a bit. Nooks noticed some guys through the window loitering outside and said that they were wrapping our car in barbed wire. I ran outside and started yelling at them then got a pitchfork (!) from the boot of the car.
A massive fight broke out.
Eventually one of the guys ran to some house to get backup so I took off.
Sprinted through gardens and over fences and up hills for what seemed like an eternity and ended up near a backyard pool. This Maori guy came up with a giant dog but we talked it out and everything was okay.
He said he dealt MDMA and the dream ended with an awkward "oh... ...can I have some?"

Me and a friend were for some reason infiltrating a tall sky scraper, a city which is very familiar in my dreams for some reason, once we infiltrated the sky scraper we were out on the window ledge looking for any way to climb down, as we were climbing down the bomb we planted exploded over the road. We were ninja-like soldiers uncovering a corrupt government, as i jumped down into the street i began being chased, i turned and ran down hill as fast as i could, i was leaping and free running across walls and over cars until landing down on a beach.

24th of May, 2010

Started of riding my bike at night time looking for a carpark. Eventually I noticed some seedy guy and, naturally, decided to get off and follow him down some stairs. We found ourselves at this indoor McDonalds and I was looking for some hot-cakes but they were all out. Wandered around for a bit nd noticed a cafe of sorts which had this amazing looking fruit salad iced crush drink...thing. I still want to eat it to this day; it looked so damn groovy.

Somehow I ended up in this rich guy's house with a whole bunch of others. He had this amazing home theatre system and bar set up. At this point we were all employees working on some kind of event.
We walked into the freezer and opened up a panel that lead us into this HUGE hanger filled with weapons and missiles and storage crates on conveyer belts. Jeremy, my current boss, was suddenly the owner and was running around like a mad man trying to sort out the fact that the ice in the freezer was thawing because we were in there. He started crying.

Then I woke up and had a laugh to myself.

Howdy!

Okay, so as I haven't kept an online dream journal and I'm new here, I figure I may as well archive my most memorable dreams, as a way of settling in and letting you guys get to know me a bit. Here I'll post some of the more standout dreams from my book over the past few years until now; I have a terrible habit of writing them down for a couple of weeks and then stopping for months.

I've vowed this year to write down as many as I can, so with any luck this will be an almost daily updated little space.

I hope you enjoy this insight into the weird workings of my mind and possibly even gain a little bit of understanding of your own! I'd love to hear from you.

So.
Without further ado;


6th April, 2010

We were playing the weirdest 'game' ever - it basically involved standing on this abusive, glowing red square and sliding around on it while it made you feel uncomfortable. After we succeeded we asked an elderly woman if it was, in fact, possible to get to Hong Kong. She said yes.

Attempting to get there (I imagine, as I have no sense as to how we ended up where we did) we found ourselves on a small island. It was extremely polluted and you couldn't see anything beyond the waves. About eight others were there and we were all looking at the stars and searching for magic mushrooms.*
We went up and down hills picking shrooms, but only ate these little orange squishy things.

After that we tried to sleep on the beach and wait for the sunrise. Which never came.

Once the tide rose, hundreds of people were suddenly there also mushroom hunting. The Dude, from The Big Lebowski, led us around for a while under these awesome old piers and caves and through water and stuff.



*I don't do, nor have I ever done magic mushrooms but they often feature in my dreams and are always extremely "magical" in their appearance (flourescing, swirly etc.)
I love dreaming about them!

I was at work and although I was doing the job I actually do in reality it was not at the same place and the arrangement of the work space was very different. I was sitting down with a customer and my boss and we were talking about something. There were some brochures around the table. It came to close time and I went into the change rooms with everyone else from work. I remember my locker was like a cliche style locker from a movie and I slammed it shut. Everyone from work was talking about the day and how happy we were the day was over and we can go out. My cousin also came into the change rooms.

I was driving my car in a place near my house. I was looking for a car spot and decided the best place to park was in an alley away from the main shopping center. I got out of my car and felt a bit worried about where I had parked it but walked to the main stretch of shops. I met up with some Asian people who told me something about the parking and I think where I could park in a better spot so I decided to go back to my car and move it. On the way back to my car, the area turned into a forest and my friends joined me. We were now going to the Big Day Out but did not have tickets. We we going to enter the venue before security had arrived so we could just stay in the venue until the party started. We sat down near the edge of the forest which overlooked the main arena for the party. A security guard wearing blue arrived but did not question us he just stood close to us ready to start his shift. I decided to walk back where we had come from and I saw that the security had set themselves up with a tent and were making all patrons pass through to check tickets. I spoke to someone but they did not question why I had no ticket or how I had managed to get into venue area with out one. I walked down the hill to a stadium.

All I remember about the final dream is a Vietnamese Omelet and I was eating it with a spoon.

I wrote this down on my dream journal, and I even wrote about it just now in the describe your dreams in one sentence thread, and it's still rocking my world. I haven't shared a dream in detail since I was unbanned, but this one is running over and over in my head and I don't know what will happen to my IRL DJ in a few years but this thread will remain IMMORTAL.

So I successfully WILDed and started off in a city sort of like the matrix but without Morpheus there to tell me nothing was real. But everyone had blank faces, just walking along, almost in slow motion. And I felt apart from the crowd, like I didn't fit in. And there was someone else who didn't fit in. Now that I think about it, I always felt him staring at me, but it was only when I felt that eerie stare that I saw him. Just standing, while people brushed passed him. He was initially dressed in a very pale green, almost gray. His clothing changed once we got into it and eventually he ended up looking like Buu from DBZ then later he looked like Knives from Trigun.

So anyway, my first thought was to punch him in the face. This is strange as usually my first thought when lucid is to start humping whatever's next to me. I tried to punch him but he grabbed my fist and threw me to the ground so hard I cracked the pavement. Then he took off flying. I pursued him, trying to grab his ankle but he was gone. Next thing I know he comes up behind me (now looking like Buu) and grabs MY ankle, again throwing me to the ground. As I'm falling, I look up at him. He said something to me, I don't remember exactly what but it was some smug, emotionless phrase like something you'd hear from Sephiroth. Like the meaning he was conveying was "Is this all you got" but he was saying something cryptic about clocks or something. I have no clue.

Anyways, I tried to aim my finger at him and shoot his head off. I even tried to focus on his head exploding rather than just me shooting at his head. In return, I got blasted by a massive pink energy ball and smashed into the earth. I got up, and he was still standing there (now looking like Knives) and building were falling all around us. Weird, creepy cathedral music started playing and I told him something like "I can absorb everything you throw at me and turn it back on you" and I started hurling ki blasts at him, like transparent balls. Something happened in the chaos and we ended up fighting with our hands, just trying to grab at each other. I kept pulling at his hair and trying to knee him in the stomach but he was completely untouchable. Next thing I know he's standing apart from me again and something very strange happened, sort of like in Trigun when Legato made Vash blow a hole through the fifth moon. He made my arm act all on its own and form a huge spirit bomb in my hand. I told him I wouldn't let him use me like this and turned the blast at him, trying to shoot him. Only now, for some reason, we were in the air again and he was dodging me, I couldn't target him. Eventually he tossed a spirit bomb my way and I shot one back at him. The blasts hit each other and sent a huge energy blast into the earth, causing a massive crater. At this point things disintegrated and I woke up.

I will defeat him.

I was playing shooter game in my dream, and i typed to those people there SHUT THE FUCK UP NOOBS ... because they were getting angry that i was killing them, they wanted to be strong but i was being also strong.

I was in a field , and a bear come charging at me , i typed teleport and so i went to safety.

I also saw a fox which was running towards the bear direction which was strange.

I'm at a bar/small supermarket in the beer section looking for the best thing to buy with the lowest price. Some girl approaches me and starts playfully flirting. She's really touchy feely and this chick kinda reminds me of Fergie on a good day. She tells me that I don't have spend any money on beer, and her friends could hook me up. No not only was she a good mind reader...she was hot. There was a table nearby that we went to, and everyone was pregaming. I ordered like three shots and a beer. The shots were vodka and grenadine, and they tasted like Kool-aid. The waitress immediately asks me if I want my next shot, and my spider-senses go off. Might get fucked up too quick...or maybe this shot is just weak...fuck. I decided to drink the next one, and the Fergie chick sat in my lap. The table we're sitting at reminds me of an outdoor picnic table and it's covered with a cheap plastic. The atmosphere has a very down to earth care free environment to it.

We all start up a conversation, and cards becomes the main topic. I outright tell them that I'm no good, but I'm willing to play a few hands. In my mind, I think I can beat everyone, but I'm not sure how my money is looking. I know the guy is bluffing about how bad he is. He wouldn't have bought it up in the first place if it was. It seems like we may be going heads up...so not only will money be on the line, I don't want to look bad in front of this girl. She reminds me to relax and just have fun and I oblige. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING

Fucking phone wakes up in RL.......ugh.

I was sitting in my living room watching some T.V. with a girl who I seemed to be rather intimate with. We were sitting next to each other "cuddling" while watching something on T.V. After a couple minutes we headed up stairs for some reason and went into my room. Once inside we stood at the foot of my bed talking with each other. "So... do you want to?" I asked hesitantly. I could tell I was blushing a little bit. She just smiled at me and slightly nodded her head.

At this point things started to get a little fishy. I walked into the other room for a second and thought to myself, "Wait a minute, that's my ex-girlfriend! We broke up last year!" It was true, I was with my ex with whom I was no longer with. I did a checked my hands real quick and my right hand had 6 fingers while my left hand was missing a pinky. My suspicions were correct, I was dreaming! Just to be safe I preformed a nose plug RC and it worked! I could breathe through me nose.

Immediately the TotY popped into my head but I couldn't think of which one to do. I summoned a dart board with 8 spots for each task that wasn't done. I grabbed a dart from the dresser next to me, closed my eyes and threw it. It had landed on the '60s. Awesome, to the moon! Knowing that I had to beat Neil Armstrong down the ladder I couldn't just teleport to the moon, I had to go up with the space ship and everything. I snapped my fingers while picturing the rocket about to take off in Florida.

In the blink of an eye I was standing in front of a massive space shuttle. It was even bigger in person! I started to walk over towards it when I heard "T-minus 10, 9..." I knew it was about to take off so I ran as fast as I could towards it. Right as I was about to get on the platform the rockets ignited and massive billow of smoke and fire came over me. It felt just like the last TotY dream. I immediately jumped up as high as I could and was out of the fire. I looked down at the space shuttle and aimed right for the window. I dove down feet first this time and crashed right through it into a small holding tank type room. There were 4 other people in the room with me. Neil, Buzz (Aldrin), the third guy nobody really cared about, and then there was one more. The pilot from my last lucid.

WTF! I thought I had gotten rid of him! "Long time no see, eh Burke?" He said, sarcastic as always. "Well look who it is. I thought you left after the hindenburg dream." I said back, equally as sarcastic. "Now now, this is no place for fighting. We have a job to do." He sounded just like he did last time. "What do you mean we?" I asked. "Hey, we're one in the same, remember? Now be quiet, the shuttle's about to take off and we have to let these three do their jobs." "Hold on--" But before I could finish my sentence the shuttle lifted off from the ground with immense force, pushing me down to the floor (which was really the wall).

I couldn't really breathe nor talk due to the force from the take off, but after about 10 seconds we were floating in space. "Wow, that was fast," I said. Normally these things took several minutes just to leave the atmosphere. "We'll be there in only a few minutes," The person whom I assume is Neil said. "Now, in order to see who goes first, I say we draw from a hat." "No, no, no, you'll cheat! You always cheat!" Buzz said. "I vote the new guy holds a number behind his back and we guess it." "Doesn't matter to me," I replied. "That sounds good," The third guy chimed in. This whole time the pilot from my last lucid just sat there, silently, staring out the window.

"Alright, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and infinity. Neil, you go first." I said. "Umm, zero." He said. "You dumbass, zero isn't between 1 and infinity." Buzz chimed in. "It's my choice and I'll make it however I want." He replied. "Guys calm down, just pick a different number," the third guy said. "Oh, a wise guy, eh?" Neil said. At this point it escalated into a 3 stooges type fight where they kept smacking each other on the back of the head and poking each other's eyes. "Hey guys," the pilot said a little nervously. "Not now, we're in the middle of some--" Neil said, interrupted by a smack from Buzz. "Seriously, you might want to stop." He persisted, but they paid no attention to him. I looked out the window and noticed that the moon was coming up fast. Really fast.

There were bits and pieces of arguement flying all over the place until finally a huge force knocked us all up against the ceiling. "What the hell was that!?" Neil demanded. "I warned you guys," the pilot said. I looked out the window and noticed we were on the surface of the moon, the shuttle still in one piece. "Me first!" "No, me!" "I called it, move out of my way!" They kept bickering even after crashed. "Hey! Idiots!" The piloted shouted. "You're not going anywhere unless you put your space suits on." After hearing this they all ran as fast as they could to the corner where the suits were kept. However, there were only two. One person was meant to stay back and moniter everything. They started fighting again, arguing over who should go out.

Getting rather annoyed by this I snapped my fingers and summoned another space suit so they could all go out at once. The pilot then looked at me as if he was expecting something. I had no clue what he was thinking and just stared at him while the other were putting their suits on. *Snap!* "Oh! The TotY! Thanks man, you're the best!" I said. I had to beat Neil down, why would I help them out? I walked over to the door, opened it up and jumped right out. The others, who had just finished putting their space suits on, saw me get out and all sprinted towards the door to be the 2nd man out. If they weren't first, they sure as hell weren't going to be last.

Once I stepped out I looked over my shoulder and saw the earth rotating slowly, just like in the pictures. The three astronauts got out and, once they finally shut up, looked up and around in amazement. "Wow... it's... beautiful..." One of them said. "Yep, quite the sight, isn't it?" I replied. "Hey buddy, how come you don't have a suit on, yet you're just fine out here?" One oft hem asked me. "Oh, umm. Well, you see..." I stuttered, trying not to tell them I was a dreamer for some reason. "Wait I know why. It's 'cause you're one of those alien thing-a-ma-jigs I've heard about!"

Wait, what? He thought I was an alien? The pilot at this point burst out laughing, obviously humoured by the comment. "What's so funny?" I looked over at him. "Hey now, don't be asking obvious questions!" I was a little irritated, but knew to keep my cool around him after flipping out for a tiny little insult before. "Yeah yeah, I know... Say, isn't this where that one guy from the forum had a base or something?" "Oh, you mean Nomad and Raven, yeah, but I don't think it's open right now." He replied. "What do you mean by 'not open'?" "Don't worry about it. Now, shouldn't you try another TotY?"

"I guess... but where are you getting at by saying 'don't worry about it'?" I asked. "Seriously, I said don't worry about it, yet here you are, worrying." He sounded a little annoyed, oh jeez . "Alright alright, I'm sorry." I tried convincing him. "No you aren't, don't try and lie to me." "I wasn't lying--" "Yes," he interrupted, "you are. Do you not learn anything? What did I say last time?" I thought for a second, "Umm... as I recall you said 'it's time you learn your place' and then proceeded to kill me." It was true, he did say that. "No you dumbass, about you, and me? Us?" "Umm... that we share the same-" then it hit me. We both share the same mind. He knew what I knew and what I meant.

"Exactly. God, sometimes I swear I have to beat the sense into you!" He disappeared. Next thing I knew I woke up. Damnet, he woke me up again. He didn't even give me a chance

Oh well, it's all in my head, right? *Braces for him to pop up out of nowhere and hit me* At least I got one of the tasks done.

I was fleeing with Roran from the Inheritance series. I was supposedly Eragon. We were running though doors and had to open each one, then I decided I could open them with magic. I shouted 'ekka' at the doors but nothing happened.

The word for open in the Ancient Language is mor'amr
