    1. Proposal and Military Eggs

      by , 04-21-2012 at 03:51 PM (Sea of the Unconscious)
      First I was at some sort of school. I went to a science class, and I think I wanted the teacher’s phone number. It was on a paper (maybe the syllabus?) but I did not take it. I liked either the teacher or one of the women in the class. I think that I had hoped that the teacher’s number would help me contact the student.

      Was in a cafeteria/food court and was approached by a young man. He told me that I had good earning potential, and so he tried to convince me to marry him. I was engaged, so I refused. I was also turned off by the fact that I did not know this man. He explained that his ailing grandfather would leave lots of money to him if he was engaged. I asked him what the rush was, and he stated something like he didn’t know when his grandfather would die. So he had to work fast. Once he realized that I wasn’t going to change my mind, he moved to the table next to mine and found a girl to ask. She was happy to find she and the guy had common interests, and accepted the proposal. I was angry with the man for not explaining the circumstances to the girl. Then the girl’s friend started talking about how the drunk dwarf men had all been hitting on her because she was short. I chuckled.

      Then at some later point, I was in charge of a portion of an army. We had three eggs, presumably duck or goose eggs. They were in a caravan that was carrying our supplies, but then I was told that the caravan was going to explode! I was told that I only had time to grab one egg. I looked at where the eggs were kept—in a fridge, like what you would see at grocery stores that are completely open in the front. The eggs were in containers filled with salad. I hesitated and wondered why I only had the time to save one egg. I also might have wondered why the eggs were being kept in a cold place rather than an incubator. But I grabbed two eggs and scampered off to safety. I attended a meeting for the army leaders, and everyone brought their own eggs to the meeting. To the right were huge blue eggs, larger than a person’s head, and to the left the eggs were normal sized. I placed my two eggs on the table to the left and sat down in front of them. The army leader went to the front of the room and explained to us how being noble was considered a weakness. That was why we were ordered to grab only one egg. I asked a question about the eggs, and the answer I received infuriated me. I became dizzy with rage. I stated, “So it’s okay to kill the eggs because it’s just like an abortion!” Everyone in the room stared at me angrily. I was handed a black card, a sort of warning, so I put it in my mouth. I was reprimanded by a peer, so I bit down on the card and started drooling on it. I suddenly realized that the black card might have signified that my egg was to be destroyed. I was not bothered by this punishment, for I had a spare egg anyway.

    2. Retreat

      by , 04-21-2012 at 02:58 PM
      First

      I'm at what is apparently a retreat center, it's clearly religious and in the middle of a forest. However there is a grocery store with food and candy. I think I returned to this dream a couple of times and start at the grocery store both times, looking for chocolate on the second time. I share a room with someone else.

      There is a priest training going on at the same time and N is one of the trainees. There is a ceremony with a sermon and after that the trainees are officially priests. I go out of the ceremony early, trough a back door, and N follows me and says something. I say something about her new official powers.

      Second

      I'm reading an issue Donald Duck that I apparently borrowed from my dad when I was visiting. He's there and says something about it.
    3. my ninth, crappy lucid, but it had it's moments.

      by , 04-21-2012 at 02:32 PM
      I only remember the part of the dream were I knew where I was lucid (except for some t-shirt stuff I'm not writing down.)
      I was walking down the stairs when I suddenly thought, Hey.. I fell asleep; I'm dreaming.
      But man, this lucid was of really poor quality. I could not look any more the 2 meters in front of me, and it felt like someone was trying to push a lit over my eyes the whole the time. And at the same time, I was at the brink of waking up.
      The best moments was when I ran of the porch of my house. I screamed, because it was much higher than in real life. I was heading for the parked cars, but luckily avoided them. That was a real thrill
      Then I ran off into the night (because it was really dark outside and I had nothing to do) and before I knew it I had flapped my black feathered wings open and was heading full speed for the heaven. Ah, it was wonderful. I did a salto (spin in the air) and just played around. I spotted my friend L. on the ground and landed next to her. She ought to show me something, and I tried it.
      I suddenly felt like I had bad time and took of again. As I was getting higher and higher, I suddenly crashed into an invisible barrier. Thinking I could make it trough, 'cause it was just a dream, I did. On the other side I was back in low-quality mode, in a room with no doors, no paintings, no people. Nothing. The walls were a light lemon color, and the floor were white.

      More I can't recall to scribble down, so I'll just post a little picture. I like pictures.


      Note to self: In daylight my wings are white, yet they are black at night ^^

    4. Talking back to my teacher

      by , 04-21-2012 at 02:02 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I acted so out of character in this dream. I would never do something like this in waking life. I just wish it were my history teacher.

      I was in the drafting room at school. My old math teacher was teaching the class, but we were doing something computer related. She decided to give only a small group of four people (including myself) essays to work on. I was annoyed, but started to work on it anyway. I asked my teacher if she could just not make us do it, but of course she didn't let us. I put on my headphones and listened to SeeU songs on my iPad. Not even a minute passed and time was already up. I couldn't even finish writing the first sentence: "Apple is a large company that..." I asked for more time, but my teacher said "okay then, you can have more time, but now everyone else in the class has to do an essay." That made me really mad. I called her sleazy and she picked up the phone to call the office. I said, "fine, go ahead," but my head was down so I couldn't see her reaction to any of this. The dream skips and I'm in a strange room with red carpet. There are some stairs leading down. A few girls that were in the classed walked by. I asked them if they thought I did the right thing. They said I didn't, and that I was going to be expelled now.
    5. Lost

      by , 04-21-2012 at 01:38 PM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      I drove a tour bus. I remember looking in the mirrors to see the back of the bus. It was no problem.

      I advised my mom as she was losing her place. She was upset about losing all her stuff. I saw a bunch of drawing paper. I advised her to keep enough for the next three projects and to get rid of the rest.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Damn it's been a long time since I posted a dream in my DJ... Haven't had much of a recall since the last competition ended. Did have two small lucids but they weren't interesting enough for me to be bothered posting. Had one last night along a whole bunch of other dreams. Didn't write anything of it down so I'll only write down the lucid here.

      21.30: Sleep

      02.15: WBTB 45 minutes.

      09.30: What to do? DILD
      I'm at a parking lot with my coworker Nicke. I have no idea what we're doing there, but I quickly realise something's off and that I might be dreaming. "Hey, this is a dream. What should I do?" I ask him. "I don't know" he tells me. I walk around and wave my arms around. "What to do? What to do?!" I say frustrated. "Meh, might aswell fly a bit." I jump and start flying in circles around him. 'What was my task?' I land because the dream's getting a bit unstable. I rub my hands. "Might aswell just summon a few girls" I say. Nicke tries to protest but I've already looked away from him. I expect to see a whole bunch of them when I turn around and when I do, they're on the other side of a fence by a big bouncy castle.

      I jump the fence while rubbing my hands to stabilize the dream. The girls are sunbathing and don't have much clothing on. I start to get a bit too excited and have to rub my hands to prevent the dream from collapsing. When it's stable again the girls are gone and I'm behind a bush. 'Oh well, I'll just summon them again.' I imagine them coming back and a few seconds later the girls are appearing from behind the corner. I lie in wait but wake up.


      09.30: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 11 hours

      Supplements: None


      That's it!

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    7. Fragments and a video assignment

      by , 04-21-2012 at 12:45 PM (~Cookieh's Land of Cookies~)
      No lucids. Some fragments.

      [COLOR="#483d8b"]- I was in my old hometown, with 2 of my (old) classmates. We had this assignment, to film the spring. All 3 of us were given a video camera and then we were discussing, who films what and where. Neither of us had eachothers' numbers, I fiddled around for quite a while with my ipod to get their numbers written down (O__o). We went our separate ways, filming stuff. Even though it was spring, there were pretty big apples on the trees :o.

      - I am in a room with small trampolines stuck in the ceiling.

      - Waidh. He was somewhere at some point.[/COLOR]

      Not much today, I was being lazy in the morning again .__.

    8. 20 Apr: Make-out with James McAvoy

      by , 04-21-2012 at 10:12 AM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

      (...) I entered some café or restaurant and was looking around for a table. I saw a group of 4 or 5 people at a table to my left and one of them was James McAvoy. Well, I have a huge crush on him, so without wasting one minute of the dream, I just walked in his direction and almost knocked him down his chair when I grabbed him by the collar to kiss him. He apparently liked it because he got up and we started making out right there. I couldn't care less about the other DCs. We were already half naked on the floor, when I woke up. Sadly... lol

    9. PRE-Dream Journal Dreams

      by , 04-21-2012 at 10:03 AM (Dream Trek)
      These are some Dreams that were powerful enough that I recall them even years later... But are not written in my dream journal.

      Quote Originally Posted by Theme Park Nightmare

My father stopped me from helping them, stating that "If you touch them, your head will fall off too". This dream scared me, but also put me in a position where I wanted to help someone but was unable to do so.

I escaped the class and made my way to the main doors, where I was warned by a teacher not to go out there because the police would think I was the shooter and shoot me. I woke up upon leaving the building. The only two images I remember are one of another student in a hoodie in the hallway while I was fleeing - possibly the shooter. And I remember an aerial view of the school's campus, with 6 trees and police surrounding the place.

After moving the bike out of the road and making sure that the emergency authorities had the situation under control, we left. This was the beginning of my car wreck anxiety, and the recurring theme of car accidents in my dreams and subconscious. Now, onto the dream.
      --------------------------
      (Dream Time) -- I was driving my mother around, doing some sort of secret mission for the enemies of the united states. On multiple occasions, men in black suits approached us and attempted to convince us not to do whatever it was that we were doing. At one point, a man in a suit offered me a lo-carb monster drink to persuade me not to take part in the deal. I had no choice but to continue the mission. We left the city and hit a country road. I noticed a minivan coming in the distance toward me. After watching it for a few seconds, I confirmed that it was in fact in my lane, coming directly at me. The faint sound of a blaring horn became louder and louder, and a hill began to rise to the side of me in the swerve zone. The van came closer and closer until I finally swerved off the road and stopped on top of the hill. While watching it out the window, I saw it veer back into the right lane, then off the road, and down into the grass until finally hitting a tree. When it hit the tree, someone flew through the windshield. The sounds of screaming and crying began to overtake my mind, as I watched the people crawl around, bleeding out in the grass. An entire family was in that van. Children screaming... Blood, gore... It was a truly horrible sight. I pulled out my phone to call 911, and as I was dialing I was distracted by some figures around the crash site. Not human, but humanoid. They were dragging the children around and beating the shit out of the wreck victims. One of the children was being drug through the road and slung around like a rag-doll. I tried to keep calling 911, when suddenly one of the figures appeared directly in front of me - I caught a close-up of the back of a Ferengi(Star Trek)'s head, scaring me into awakeness. To this day, it was the most horrific nightmare I can recall.

    10. The Interview

      by , 04-21-2012 at 09:40 AM (Dream Trek)
      Quote Originally Posted by Original Text
      last night I dreamt I was going to a job interview with one other person. We sat at a table and the interviewer showed us a project that SIEMENS worked on last month involving train tracks. The tracks were broken in some places and needed efficient repairs. I suggested making the tracks narrower and the trains faster, to which the interviewer replied was a too expensive approach.

      Before I went there, I was exploring a new dating site. It resembled myyearbook in a way. I met an interesting female on there while playing a game. I should have caught on to the fact that I was dreaming when I noticed the web site's url was strange as hell. It was like "MiaYck.cx.so.me" I should perform a reality check on all URLs. The other time I should have caught on was when I noticed the map of the train tracks suddenly became the back of a DVD case.
      The other person I went into the interview with was my stepbrother. When we came to the interview, we waited in a lobby with a microwave and refreshments, a table with two chairs, and then a ton of empty room beyond that. He grabbed 3 tuna-style cans of food, while I grabbed only one. The solution I proposed to solve the train problems was a humorous application of the "Venturi Effect". Suggesting that if the tunnel was narrower, it would have less environmental impact, and that the trains would be forced to go faster to fit through it at the same pace.

    11. Long phase of lucidity and trying Plasmids

      by , 04-21-2012 at 09:36 AM (The Erratic dreams of StaySharp)
      I remember walking around an extended dreamscape and my awareness was rising slowly over time until I kind of noticed that I couldn't properly move fast and at some point I did an RC. I think that place where I finally became lucid was some bridge (it was day), and I was running around below it and found my movement capabilities insufficient, I got some strange feeling heralding lucidity and the RC did the rest. Upon becoming lucid it apparently also became night again.

      Then there seems to be a gap, I don't recall anything specific at least.

      I was really trying hard to keep myself in the dream, I was often looking at my hands as well as trying to keep my mind clear and for some reason got the idea to use Plasmids like in Bioshock (probably because people were running around which I didn't deem necessary), and after trying to equip myself with a random Plasmid I got fire and used it a few times, setting a dude on a bike aflame who suddenly decided to say that this bike was mine because I set him on fire. Then I tried to summon a random non-Bioshock plasmid but that failed. I tried to summon a Nova-like Plasmid (like the beam in Metroid Prime: Corruption), but since that failed as well I went directly with the beam Samus usually wields. After kind of defeating all idiots and some time dilation fighting scenes I got my normal Hands back and decided to do a first World Severing Seal, the pillars now significantly bigger than the last time (this time they were white and hollow, with a complicated outside), however the first 2 were not exactly standing straight. I thought about a bunch of things I wanted to do all along the way, especially about my dream guide. In the end however I started to notice how sensations form the real world slowly came in which I couldn't push away and I couldn't stabilize any longer, just as I was about to let it become day and though about trying to fly again I woke up.


      The text is pretty short but the dream itself was pretty long actually, just that a lot of the things I did were repetitive exercises to keep up stability.
    12. Time Travel Dream #2

      by , 04-21-2012 at 09:33 AM (Dream Trek)
      Quote Originally Posted by Original Text

This dream may very well be my first "Lucid Dream" in that I was aware that I was dreaming for part of it. At the end, I realized that I was dreaming right before I woke up.

      In order to induce further lucid dreaming, I'm working to remind myself that time travel is not possible, and when I dream that I am in a different time period than 2012, the logical answer is not time travel, but dreaming.
      Like the other dream where I travelled in time, I was in a computer lab, doing work on the computer and bragging about the technology of the future. Yet again, I made the mistake of using the "Time Travel" logic, rather than the "Dream Setting" logic to explain why I was in the 1990s and a child.

    13. The Back Roads | The Factory

      by , 04-21-2012 at 09:28 AM (Dream Trek)
      Quote Originally Posted by Original Text

When we left the cemetary, my neighbor censored was driving a tractor by, and took the "initiative" to tow my truck away and leave us there. Shortly afterwards, a car comes flying down the road and wrecks into him and my truck. After that, the army comes in. Why? Idk. When the army got there, NOTHING HAD HAPPENED.


      #2 I was chilling with my mom and my brother, when we came across an old abandoned factory. We climbed a pole on the side of the building to crawl in a window and explore it. When we got inside we noticed it was a wood splitting factory. Wood came up through a hole, fell over, and was split by a saw, before being dropped down a cute. I accidentally turned on one of the machines, proving that the factory was still powered. Then we heard voices in the next room. It was still operational. We got the hell out of there.
      Elaboration on The Back Roads:
      Not much to elaborate on, except that yet again, a car accident happened. This is one of SEVERAL dreams containing car accidents now. What I mean by "Nothing Had Happened", was that when the army started coming over the horizon, I turned around and there was no evidence of a car accident - and then the dream ended.

      Elaboration on The Factory:
      I wrote that my mother and my brother were accompanying me. This is partially true. However, sometimes my stepfather was in place of my brother, particularly during the middle of the dream. During the beginning and the end, it was my brother. We were under the impression that the factory was abandoned. The style of factory function(wood splitting) is likely derived from playing Skyrim, where the mills operate in the same manner. I stood on one of the logs and it began cutting in half. When I got up and asked my mother what she thought, she speculated that the factory must run from a fuel supply contained within the factory (eg, not electricity from the city, but from a gasoline reservoir). Shortly afterwards, we heard faint talking coming from a room, and we left. My mother and my stepfather slid down the pole, but I figured the pole was too long and if I were to slide down it using my hands the friction would create heat much too hot, and I would let go and fall. If I tried to use my shirt to slide faster with less friction, I might slide too fast and get hurt at the bottom. So I wished there were some gloves. Upon that wish, I looked in the conveniently located tool box on the window, and procured a pair of gloves. When we were leaving, my mom told me she overheard the plant manager talking evil things about forced labor and keeping the factory operational...

      The censored part is the name of an RL friend.

      The storage place was in the location of the local car-wash in town. The storage units were small lockboxes on a rack, all outdoors. The lockbox was my old Smoke-Box. After being discovered, I sat on the porch with the old hippie and discussed the situation. I joked with friends that this was a nightmare because I had quit smoking marijuana a few weeks before having this dream.

    15. The U-Haul Fall

      Elaboration:
      I must have been tired when I wrote that journal, as I didn't elaborate much at all. I cannot remember why I was in Europe, but I rented a truck. This was coincidentally after watching the Family Guy episode making fun of U-Haul trucks being dangerous and allowing anyone to drive it. I took a sharp turn and the truck fell over on one side. When the U.S. Embassy came(U.S. Embassy, really lol?)... Anyway, when they came, I went to a meeting where they explained to me that my insurance was "Liability", not "Comprehensive"... And therefore I would be in debt for the rest of my life paying for the damage to the truck.

      I've also noticed that this dream may have a strong influence from the recent car accident my step-mother was in, which I was a first responder to, and perhaps a part of my subconscious... anxiety? about car accidents, having witnessed a few car accidents in my life, including one with my own family.

      I wouldn't consider this a "Nightmare", in that I wasn't ever in "Fear" during the dream, but it wasn't exactly pleasant either.
