All DJ Entries

So, last night I dreamt that I was at my parent's place, laying on my back on the ground in their backyard, looking up at the stars at night. There was this one extremely bright star that was shining radiantly to the northwest. Then I heard a voice and it said "You may keep it, but make it stronger." I'm not really sure what to make of that. Dreams are weird.

I remember being at my school. I was outside, along with everyone. There was a small tent arena thing outside where our courtyard was supposed to be. I walked inside and found half the school running around inside the perimeter of the tent.

A woman walked around carrying a small green scanner.
“Ticket?” she asked me.
I looked at her scanner. “Um,” I hesitated. “I don’t have one.”
She sighed. Annoyed, she said to me, “You need to get a ticket at the front lobby. Go. Now.”

I quickly rushed out of there, and headed back inside the school. Heading to the front lobby, I looked around. I only saw these weird boxes full of frozen food and pictures on them. Confused, I went and asked the secretary where I could find the tickets. He was talking to a family when I came in, and looked a bit annoyed when I said,

“Where are the tickets?”
He sighed, and pointed. “Right over there. In the middle.”

That didn’t solve my problem. I walked back out over to the table where the frozen food was. My English teacher just happened to walk by. She was strict so I was afraid to ask her. I did anyways, and she angrily pulled out a box of tickets in the back. “Here.” She said.

I took one, and ran back outside. I entered the arena, but instead of running around in circles, people were fighting. There weren’t as many people here as there was earlier. I learned that as many fights you do, or what you do in that fight, affect how much percentage you get on your ticket. And that percentage affects your test scores or something.

I walked around the arena, looking at who was fighting. Two people that didn’t look familiar, both drew fists. Then they started swinging at each other.

It was my turn. More people started to empty out of the arena. I was paired up against a guy with blonde hair, who looked like he was in the band One Direction. No one was supervising the fights, so we just sat there, gaining percentage by doing nothing. We talked while doing it, and even pushed and lightly punched each other to speed up the process.

Eventually, I heard the people around us starting to count down. “10, 9, 8…”
I ran to the ticket lady, and handed her my ticket. She scanned it, and said, “Thank you.”

The dream sped forward. I was in the mall, walking down the wide hallway surveying the stores. I looked into the window of a particular store. I saw the same blonde haired boy. He smiled at me, and waved. I smiled back.

Feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, I kept walking and went to the sunglasses store. One of the employees kept trying to set me up with different sunglasses, but I just told her I wanted to look.

Then the dream ended.

...Was the question I faced during my dream, but I'll start from the VERY beginning.

I was with my friend Evan. We had signed up for a debate tournament, and I need to go to one more for the class. We arrive at the tournament (somehow I had the mindset that evan was from a different school, so I didn't know if we could actually be a team according to the debate rules) We go to the main room for our extemp draw. I told him, "Hey, it's my cat time class!" Then I realized that we were from the same school. It wasn't my cat time class either, it was Mrs. Funks from the 7th grade.

He then tells me "Oh shoot..." I ask him "?" He tells me that he didn't sign up for the tournament.... I wake up at this point (really) and decide I would try to re enter. It didn't work so I gave up, but I fell asleep and entered it anyway. I was back home after the tournament. Tomorrow was Friday, I had another tournament to go to on monday. I get to school and go until about 5th hour and I get checked out. I had two bags with me for some reason. I start to walk to the office but stop in the area in front of it. There were rows of people there and they were eating. My shoes were messed up. My heels weren't in them. I got one in but I tried to get the other in without making "a scene" =P I get it in eventually and my mom walks over to me.

We leave out of the doors to where the buses drop people off. We are going to the mall in a nearby city, then coming back home to get ready for my next tournament. We get to the mall and enter a small store with sports stuff. They had small logos and plastic helmets on a wall, so I thought I would check that out. I started look for my favorite team, the Bengals. I found some of there things instantly. Then I found a bengals necklace! It was 10 dollars. My mom gasped and said she would buy it for me. We go to buy it and the cashier says "Just swipe the card and sign" My mom starts to sign. He says "Maam you need to swipe your card first." They start arguing, my mom says she swiped the card (she didn't) and she keeps trying to sign. I end up taking the card and swiping it.

For some reason, my mom gets pretty mad at the store owner. She starts throwing big rubiks cubes all over the small store, and some fabric materials. It goes out into the hall of the mall where other people notice it. The cashier told us to leave... without the necklace =.= For some reason, I really wanted it. So I go back in the store and pick up the mess my mum caused and he gave it to me. I thought to myself "This isn't right. I have to be dreaming. I must have fell asleep on my way up here to the mall." I go back home.

I watch a weird video on youtube. I like and favorite it from some reason. It was uploaded by youtube themselves, and it went against their rules. They were completly changing the website however, to some sort of art thing. I realized again "This just can't be right whatsoever. I had to of fell asleep somewhere. Maybe even before school and I haven't woke up yet. Maybe during school. But I'm pretty sure it was on my way to the mall. I need to wake up.. " I do a reality check just for the heck of it. It doesn't work. Papers fly off my desk unnaturally, which convinces me I have to be dreaming. I force myself to wake up. I was at my dads house (actually awake) where I begun typing this. -sigh- Wasted lucid dream

I slept in the afternoon - WILD, I was walking in the park, I have no any task to do, so I asked DC about one guy, of course I mixed name and nik with other guy, DC don't say me anything. And soon I moved to another dream and awoke.

Date: April 1 2012

Why I Included The Dream: It was a pretty funny dream looking back on it and it will start off my journal nicely.
Category: Funny

For some reason in my dream I decided to watch porn. I was masturbating when I heard my mom coming. I closed the browser and zipped my pants up just in time. Then my mom sat down and tried to pull up Internet Explorer... She got the "IE was closed was not closed properly last time, would you like to restore your session" screen.
She clicked yes...
I woke up

SIDE NOTE: I think I remember the dream porn I watched being furry porn. gross. (No hating on furries, but that's not my thing.)

Welcome to: TheGritz's Dream Journal
You are about to go into a place few have dared to enter. My dreams. I salute you.

I won't be entering every dream I have, just ones that might interest you guys to read. Every entry will be word for word out of my DJ,
unless there is some special detail you might need to know to understand the entry. Before every dream I include I will also write down
my lucidity and ability to recall from that night on a scale of one to ten. I'm a tough scorer so don't let the numbers shock you too much!
Also I will include a little blurb about why I chose to include the dreams I posted and what category they fit into out of:
[Deeply Affected Me, Funny, Beyond Dreaming, Action Packed, Just Plain Interesting]

I hope anyone that reads this will enjoy a view on dreams coming from a young teen's point of view. Enjoy.

I remember being in this huge Castle and being a Knight and i see my uncle here i rush to him and he tells me that my brother is trapped inside the dungeon and i should go and rescue him.He leads me to a room with four walls, he mutters some words and a opening appears in the wall of the room we go through it and come across a Big Hall after walking to the end of the Hall i see a door blocked with wood he tears off some of it and creates some room for me to get in.I go inside it and find myself on some stairs, When i look down i see my brother injured and surrounded my wolves and dogs, i also heard noises of slashes and screams, as i got there i saw my brother lying on the ground.I came back out of the small opening to ask my uncle for help but saw that the wear wolves were already there.. As it was day now they were in human form because i had somehow spend a whole night in the dungeon.A fight began and i killed all of them but the most superior as i was about to strike him with my sword my uncle blocked my sword with his hand, his hand drenched in blood.After that the were wolf attacked me several times i blocked with my hand, which was now also covered in blood after that my uncle intervened and i woke up from the shock of it and i saw my hand there was a scar there probably from turning while asleep but it was right there where i thought i had blocked the wolf's fangs and my back hurted like hell.

Hello everybody, I write this journal because my handwrite sucks and i can't write anything readable on my normal diary, moreover i think that sharing dreams can be a good way to deepen the fascinating world of dream...
I don't remember my first LD i've always had them, i had my first OOBE 3 years ago when i was 14 (i've done 2 or 3 step before waking up for the excitement). Since then i had a lot of different experience that i haven't written down so now i recall just the most vivid and important...
I usually have 2 or 3 LD a week, but this week i didn't have anyone. I was reading a book about lucid dreams that explain how to have LD with MILD (i haven't looked for lucid dreaming method before because i've never needed it, but the author said that he had a decisive increase with with MILD)
So last night i've tried it and i succed in but i was too tired and lazy to write it down and now i can remember just fragment. So now i will write down the main dreams i recall .

First

I’m checking that everything is ready for my wedding the next day. We have a rehearsal in a moment. Everything seems ready and I head towards the church, on the other side of a park. When I’m almost there someone comes to tell me that the wedding is already today and I need to get dressed. We don’t have much time and I say I might need some more help. Some random male guest who happens to be there volunteers.

We go back to the building where the party will be but it’s already locked. We go to the other side and I climb the fire escape and go trough a hatch. It’s very small, I can fit trough it but it takes some time. In the meantime the others figure out a way to get in and are putting things ready. I get in.

Second

I’m in some kind of a museum in an old building with a group of people. Apparently some of us are really interested in the place and some of us, including me, are completely bored. I think the scenery on the third floor could be good and decide to check it out with another person. There are some paintings in the second floor.

When I get to the third floor I realize I’m afraid of heights and the floor is very thin. It makes a “thud” sound on every step. It also starts waving and moving. I notice many people are moving around on their knees. I do the same.

A girl who was in the group is standing near the side of the roof. She’s speaking with two others on the ground. We decide to join them downstairs and I go down to the second floor and leave the building. Somehow I’m on the other side of the street from the building I just exited. There’s a tram line on the street and I need to evade them when I cross the street.

Nondream - Lucid - Nonlucid

I still have alot of work to do with my recall.. Its still been wayyyy too long since I had an LD..
Its also becoming increasingly more and more obvious that schools are definitely one of my dream signs.

We are at my highschool, I go downstairs and find some of my friends playing football, I go down to join them. When I get down they are now playing basketball, I play anyways.

We then for some reason decide to walk to another local highschool. We start walking, and somehow the two schools are connected.

As we are walking the school looks very different, there are many more buildings. As we are still walking I also go inside some of the rooms to check out what's inside.

We finally get to the other school and it is huge. There is a huge walkway at the entrance lined by trees on both sides. It looks very fancy. We also see a sign that says lunch is only 75 cents.. We can't believe how cheap it is. We are all messing around, but I get nervous me might get into trouble with their football team.

As we keep walking we run into another friend of ours. He's skating, and wearing a really fancy suit under a jacket. We're all excited to see him, and we ask him what it's like being a student here, and he says it's awesome.

I wake up around here

An extraordinarily vivid and meaningful dream tonight re-awakened my interest in dreaming. I haven't been conscious of my dreams for several years due to physical illness and several other factors. This dream "called" me back to awareness of dreams, and it seemed to invite me back to the dreamworld.

A few hours later, I found this website

My friend and I are walking through a magical city. We're members of the city patrol, and we are patrolling.

As we walk, we see the forces of evil causing trouble and disorder all around the city. We can see the evil forces flying above us in wave after wave.

My friend wants to intervene everywhere, to fight for justice in every case. But not me.

"That's not our job," I say. "We have specific mission objectives and all the chaos around is isn't our problem - it's someone else's."

Under a bridge, we meet two members of a street gang, obviously looking for trouble. I want to just walk on by, but this time I can't stop my friend. Before I can do anything, he confronts them, leaving me to guard the equipment.

They begin to fight and my friend is hopelessly outmatched. I stay with the equipment, my friend runs away, leaving me alone with the two street gang members.

Next the street gang members turn to me. Two young women. The leader begins to fight me, using some kind of kung-fu. I also know kung-fu and I easily block all her attacks.

Then the leader backs off and the junior gang member attacks me. She has little technique, she's just strong and fast. I can't defend against her and she beats me up badly. Then the leader steps forward and we repeat this cycle several times.

Eventually the leader attacks me in a different way. She begins to hit specific pressure points on my body, which causes extreme pain. I can't defend against this. As she hits me, she laughs and explains exactly what she's doing. She's teaching me! And I find that I like her.

Eventually she stops and offers me a choice. Either they will finish the beating and leave me in a bruised heap by the side of the road, or I can join them.

In that moment, I have an epiphany. I realize how narrow-minded and judgmental I've been, with my sense of "right and wrong" and my ideas about "mission objectives." Who's setting those objectives, anyway? These so-called "gang members" are actually freedom fighters! They're fighting against the dictatorship of the mind, into which I've completely bought in. Yes, they do hurt people. But that's just what they have to do - it's the only way to wake people up.

In that moment I decide to join them - I'm awake!

At that point, my son exploded out of bed, waking my wife and me up and ending the dream.

It was a dream of awakening, a message to drop my rigid ideas and judgmentalism, to take a second look at everything, to reconcile the opposing forces within my being.

So, I had my first lucid in over a year on my second DV anniversary! Excellent timing, brain!

I remember looking at my hand. I counted it over twice. On the first time, I had six fingers. The second, my fingers had weird 'half fingers" in between them. Very obvious signs of a dream!

In a very poor attempt to stabilize and increase the vividity of my dream, I felt the texture of my mother's laptop in front of me. This didn't actually do anything to help that. I should have just looked around carefully and taken in my surroundings.

At this point, I get up from where I was sitting and decide to try and hover. I get up from the couch in m living room and start to jump as hard as possible. I was trying to jump to a degree that would make me "stick" in the air and hover like that. It didn't work AT ALL.

I woke up at this point.

So my dream starts off at Walmart (Thing about my dreams is that i have many "Dream Locations" When I'm at Walmart in my dreams it's always the same over sized Walmart) Anyway, everything is normal until this evil dude come's from nowhere with a black sword. I here a voice and it's generic like and says "You must take the sword. You are the chosen one." In front of me is a golden silver sword stuck in the ground. The sword is between me and the evil dude( He is about 17 and wearing all black. He has black hair and brown eyes) I run at the sword and everything goes into slow motion. I grab the sword and pull it from the ground. The second i pulled it from the ground i saw a smile cross the guys face and I knew I had made a mistake. He then swung out with his sword in a sweeping motion. This created a wave that knocked me back and threw me into the shelves behind me, but it didn't stop there. The one slash cut into the ground and roof destroying any thing in it's path. It brought up a giant wave of smoke and debris. I couldn't see anything but i could feel the earth quaking under my feet. Then all the smoke cleared and i did a 360 but the guy couldn't be found anywhere. I stand up and apparently am uninjured. Then I notice i crowd is forming around me and they do not look happy. I then realize I'm standing right smack where all the damage begins and...I'm still hold the sword. I begin to see why all the people are giving me bad looks. I start to try and explain but no one will here me and next thing i know i'm in court

The court is basically The People Vs Me and i lose. the judge lets me of easy for some reason and i get house arrest until "He sees fit" I go home which is just like my house only the furniture is different and my room is weird( Of course i don't think so until i wake up) I have a huge bathroom all too myself and i have a roommate and apparently I'm rich and half a lot of stuff. The scene reminds me of something out of a Miyazaki movie. The room looks bright and happy with bright colored clothes everywhere( My roommate is a designer or something) Me bed is round and has lots of quilts on it and is surrounded buy wall dividers. It looks quite cozy. Anyway my parents are pissed and they don't believe me about not destroying Walmart. They, along with my roommate, go some where and I end up alone in the house i cannot leave. I'm not even allowed to go in the yard.

So I'm siting in my room and looking out the window. I see this gigantic hole or cave in the ground. on the inside walls of the hole are thousands of smaller holes. Inside each of the smaller holes are bird nests. The birds are all different shapes, sizes and colors. There are even rainbow colored ones. The whole time I'm thinking " I remember that being there" But at the same time I'm so entranced but how beautiful they are to care. Then I see these big trucks pull up and guys come out and start spraying this purple smoke into the hole. Al the birds start freaking out and i think they are killing them. I can't sit there and watch this so even though I'm not allowed to I jump up and run outside. I yell at them to stop and they give my funny looks and explain they are only trying to get the birds out because the hole is going to collapse. Feeling stupid I head back inside. I get to the back door and see that right beside it is a large aquarium. In this tank is strange looking frogs and turtles of odd color. I was thinking out loud and said "How weird.." One of the turtle turned to me and replied "HOW RUDE!" I was like I turned to go the other way forgetting i was trying to go back inside and saw this black car pull up. Some how I knew whoever was inside was here because I had left the house. I step for and start to say it was all a misunderstanding but stop mid-sentence when I see that the man getting out of the car is none-other than Sylar (From the show Heroes).

First if you don't know who Sylar is then go watch Heroes, He is my favorite bad guy other than Freddy Krueger ( I'm not including Anime villains ) until then the small explanation is he has super powers and he kills people
Second I completely froze when i saw him but only for a moment then turned and rad inside utterly scared for my life. I slam the door behind me and run and hide in the bathroom and lock the door. There is a little slit in the door that you can slide open and see out side for some unknown reason. I look through and watch as my back door flys off it's hinges and hit the wall. The only though that runs through my mind at this point is "shit shit shit Shit Shit SHIT SHIT SHIT" Then he turns and looks straight at the bathroom door and i slam the slit door I'm looking through shut and back way too fast tripping and falling to the ground. The door to the bathroom moves but won't open because it's locked then the door is busted in half. I watch in shock and Sylar enters the room. Then I jump up and run for the window hope to escape but Sylar is to fast and grabs the back of my shirt and throws me to the ground HARD. This knocks the breath out of me and a struggle to get to my feet but he kicks me back down. Using his ability to move things with his mind he flips me and makes it were i can't move and smiles saying "I would say any last words but you don't get any...goodbye" He raises his hand in the oh to familiar motion about to finish me off ( In the show he slices the tops of people heads off with his power by pointing and making a slicing motion) I slam my eyes shut.

That were I wake up...guess i died.

All I can remember about last nights dream is that there was some kind of apricot Jam above my bed and it started wiggling and trying to speak to me. I really do need to improve my recall, so I hope this is the first step towards a more proficient memory.

I am heading towards an airport with the sister and brother-in-law for a good friend of mine, as well as my at Kali in a small animal carrier. We are on a small charter plane and it is full of people but everyone besides one man and us is elderly. Someone says something about not telling customs where we are going and to say that we are travelling with the elderly people as relatives. For some reason we fear being turned bak if the security and customs people at the airport learn why we are really travelling (which was a really mundane reason in the dream but I forget the reason now.)

We get to the air port and my friend's sister and husband and I are seperated and I panick because I do not know what time to catch the next fight or where, because they have the ticket. I eventually figure out that I have to go to a nearby town, callled Pickwick in the dream, to catch the connecting flight, but in the partking lot of the airport I am currently in, my cat deficates all over her carrier and I have no where to clean it and I cannot catch a cab because of it.

I eventually ditch the carrier itself, clean off my cat and place her in my carry-on bag (in which she sleeps peacefully) and I run into the man who I met on the charter plane who was not elderly, just as security comes to check our ID and bags. Not having my bording pass (it is with the people I got seperated from) the man I don't know takes me in his arms and tells me to say that I am his fiancee. He tells me his name is Anthony. Some how this is enough to convince the security guards and they let us through the gates and out of the airport, where Anthony and I catch a bus to Pickwick, where our next plane await. I meet up withmy friend's sister and brother-in-law when we get to that town's airport, though Anthony disappears and I do not see him join us on our connecting flight, which makes me sad.

We far in the south in our destination (Florida?) walking through a forest of some kind. I want to say it was a bamboo forest, but I am not sure. Most of the trees were tall and narrow anyway and the shrubs were short and thin branched and few had any leaves. There wer many tourists on the path of varying age and we all walking in one direction on the winding path. The path passed a large circular pond that was dried up and in a bush near the edge of the pond I saw a dog laying on it's back.

When I got closer I saw that it was my dog Sadie who died years ago. I looked at her chest and saw her breathing, but I knew in the dream that she was dead, especially since branches of the bush she was laying on protrouded from various parts of her body, including her mouth, as if her body had been laying there for a long time and the bush just grow through it. She was not in pain or distress and I could sense she had appeared to me for a reason but I could not figure out why, though I did take this chance to say goodbye to her properly, since I did not get to do so in waking life when she passed away.

The tour group is moving on a head of me and I do not want to be left behind so I run to catch up but I stop and glance one more time at Sadie when I am at the other side of the pond. Her body has turned to a wooden log and her limbs and tails knarled branches, and I feel a sense of relief, like I know she has finally moved on and her body had returned to the earth.

I catch up to the tour group and they are staring at a large pit filled with alligators. I panick because I realize at this point that me cat Kali had been following me like a dog and I haven't seen her for a while. Now that I know there are alligators in the forest I am afraid for her safety. I search everywhere, even go back to Sadie's pond, but I cannot find Kali anywhere. Later I find her near the rental car that the people I am travelling with have.

On our flight back to Pickwick, I see Anthony on our plane but he does not talk or even look at me, like we never met before and he does not recognize me. Back at Pickwick we find out our luggage has gone to the airport we first landed at near the start of the dream. While there I try to retrieve my cat's original carrier, but not only has it not been cleaned yet but someone has broken it down into little peices. While the large commerical jet that took us to Florida had no problem with my cat Kali travelling in my carry-on bag, the small charter plane that is supposed to take us home will not let me board until my cat is in a proper carrier. They do agree to wait for me however and the rest of the passengers get grumpy and upset with me because they have to wait while I find a new carrier for Kali.

I cannot remember any more of this dream.
