All DJ Entries

My dad makes a strange type of pasta. It is infused with caviar and fish. He tells me to try it. I say okay and get my chopsticks.

(Copied from my DVA workbook)
I entered my school so that I could say "farewell" to my classmates. The first thing that I noticed, however, was that almost all the signs had the word "shit" on them. I asked my teachers why, and they said that they had rid the school of children who weren't older than 13 (my school had students of all ages, but the classes were obviously separate). I'm then at my house playing a game on my Xbox 360 that was released in two parts and had a humorous name. It involved going to other worlds by traveling through portals and solving puzzles.

Mom, Dad and I stop by a small grocery store on the way home from nothing. The store is more like a bar than a store, but I guess you could say it is both. There are lots of people staring at us. Dad gets into an argument with the manager because the guy is being an asshole for no reason. Some of the people laugh at us, and I have an odd sense that something bad is about to happen. We walk out of the store, but Dad turns around and marches right back in. I follow after him with a rushing sensation. I strut in, see him yelling at the manager, and I immediately scream "STAY AWAY FROM HIM" at the bar-grocery people because I think they might attack him. My dream shout is strong, filled with a cold biting wind that scares off all the DCs. I am thrown off at how loud I sound but quickly become distracted by the dream again. Dad has picked a fight with the manager and goes into a back door. Once again I follow after him. The hallway beyond the door is dark, but I can see at the end of it my dad is lying unconscious in a room. There is an office to my left where I can see a lady clerk typing away at a computer. At this point I am filled with adrenaline which further clouds my already foggy thinking. I scream at her in rage, she turns around and is suddenly the manager with a snug expression on his face. Feeling like there is nothing I can do or that it might be a trap, I run away back into bar-grocery, again the people stare and laugh at me, but I am in a hurry and run out of the store. "They have Dad!" I frantically shout to Mom. She has a sad look on her face. She directs her attention to a car next to us with 2 children inside. Apparently the manager's wife went inside and left them. I know what she is thinking, that we take the car and children as collateral until we get Dad back. I hesitate for only a moment before yelling at her to "GET IN AND DRIVE." She reluctantly gets in and I run to a nearby store to hide behind a pillar so I can watch the manager come out and see his reaction. "This had better work!" I think.

Notes:
Dad has bad road rage and cannot stand when people either do their jobs improperly or show a lack of courtesy. The day before this dream he almost made someone crash into the back of his truck on purpose because they were tailing him far too close. I share in his pain at the idiocy of most people and how bad at driving they are or their lack of care for life and living or other peoples' lives, but I realize that most of the time nothing can be done and people are just crazy. He should have been a police officer, I tell him. This dream is obviously about my fear that his rage will lead to serious consequences. And perhaps it shows that in the worst situation I would be willing to step down and do something immoral and terrible to assure the safety of my own family. I'm not sure if that's honorable or not..

Missed Dream Signs:
-The combined bar-grocery store filled with far too many people.
-My voice sounded cold, harsh and so loud that I noticed it was abnormal in the dream.
-Instead of fighting the manager I ran away.
-My strategy of kidnapping his kids was pretty over dramatic.

oops.

Bad dreams, mostly forgotten...
I recall slicing in half, in one swipe of a sword, 6 dogs. I noticed one dog in particular. It was a slender black dog with a long snout. I watched as it's body separated cleanly, yet gruesomely.
Another dog wasn't as fortunate. The sword didn't make it all the way through him and I struggled to finish the job and retrieve my weapon.
I don't recall why I killed them, but my heart was breaking for them.

In another dream, I was with Myles. I was showing him my secret closet/escape route. The safe was there as well.
I seem to recall water ways, canals or a "lazy river" (famous in Water Parks), but I've waited too long to record the dreams and I've forgotten the details.

And now I'm all caught up with my DJ

Dreamed I was driving "Big Red" [our Motor Coach], only she was a golden and cream color.
As I drove along, I became aware of stalled traffic. A cop car was in front of me, but a distance off.
I couldn't slow or stop Big Red, so I somehow ended up outside and directly beside the vehicle. I grabbed ahold of it, lol, and planted my feet against the road to slow it down. As we went along, I thrust out one of my arms to keep from side swiping another vehicle, but we still crashed into the police cruiser.
I saw his head whip, but he seemed okay.
Don't recall how the dream ended.

I also dreamed I was living in a Hotel but I was being kicked out. I could stay longer if I could come up with some money, but that seemed impossible.
I was highly anxious because the hotel room held all of my possessions- everything from clothes to computer.
I ended up coming up with the money just barely in time.

In yet another dream, I was in a building filled with people. A person of authority (a cop?) needed to talk to me, so we looked for a quieter area. We ended up finding a room, but the door was blocked with stuffed animals. He kept pushing them aside with his foot until he could close the door.
We sat at a table and our sexual attraction toward one another was unbearable, but we didn't act out on our feelings.
>>>He looked like the guy who works at Arby's (black man with green eyes). I ate there just a few hours before going to sleep.

I had a couple more dreams- one, a nightmare, but I've forgotten them.

I dreamed of tornadoes again. I was on the balcony of some hotel when I saw them. Cocoa was with me and I was terrified that she wouldn't follow me inside, but she did.
I slammed the door and we went to the far end of the room and kept very quiet. The tornado still managed to follow us.
Thankfully, though, there was a small (sort of) trap door on the floor. When the tornado landed on it the floor board spun around and when it settled, there was no tornado but 2 knickknacks of kissing children (which I owned in real life a decade ago or so).

Then I worried about my neighbor whom I had been speaking with just moments before fleeing the storm. I cursed myself for not sounding a warning.
The neighbor was actually 2 doors down (but one balcony over lol). She and her mother were still on the balcony but completely uninjured.

I also dreamed of being outside the trailer and seeing a bear cub. I worried about him and was about to usher him inside, but I recalled the mother bear is never far away. Instead, I went to a window and looked outside.
Sure enough, his mother was outside. But not just her alone. There were 3 other mother bears with cubs of their own and one of the mothers was fighting off a pack of wolves.

I also recall tidbits of flying, dead bodies, driving and food. I've forgotten the specifics however.

Oh yeah, I also dreamed I was with a group of people. I asked how I could find someone to have sex with lol. I complained that I hadn't had sex for over 2 years. I don't remember any more of the dream though.

In one dream, I was with my kids outside the trailer. The animals were carrying on, playing, and very faintly, I heard something like a train whistle.
The sky became dark quickly. I frantically looked around for a safe place to ride out the storm, and that's when I noticed 3 slender tornadoes touch ground.
I then saw my hubby, from the corner of my eye, at his garage. The kids and I raced toward him, but he hadn't seen us and was putting the garage door down. I screamed we were coming.
I don't recall how the dream ended.

In another dream, I was flying. I no longer remember many details other than it was a slightly scary dream which I enjoyed none-the-less.

In yet another dream, I was driving and lost. I passed at least 3 Yetti at different times. I couldn't tell if they were real or costumes, so I finally asked the last one if I could give him a ride somewhere lol.
He declined

In another fragmented dream which has been mostly forgotten, I was in some large building and some sort of conflict was happening. I raced to my "secret closet" which also contained the safe I now often dream about.

I dreamed Snuffanuff [who ran away] came home and that I struggled to tie him and Cocoa up outside. Someone walked by and commented "what a beautiful dog", and out of frustration I asked if they wanted him.
But they shook their heads "no" lol and hurried along. But I heard them say, under their breath, that they had been talked about the other dog. I looked to where they indicated, further ahead and I was confused by the appearance of a large black dog. Then I realized it was Meesha [the puppy] all grown up.

In another dream- in which I played no role except to occasionally jump into the POV of various DC's- I saw a young man and younger woman searching for escape for their people.
I've forgotten the details except for the fact they were a peoples at war. They lived in a place of exceptional "primitive" beauty.
They finally arrived at a hidden entrance, fumbled with a lamp and they each took a crystal from a bowl. They had broken off the crystals from a larger one.

They entered a cave which became a tunnel, which lead them to an underpass in our modern world. They were happy, but "I" still grieved for them.
Their families soon followed and they established their own small community.
But then the leaders took the young mans sister from him to raise her with their own standards. They played on her young age and curious and compassionate nature to draw her away.
The brother was enraged, though a part of him acknowledged it was likely for the best.
I don't recall how the dream ended.

In another dream, I spoke about home-made tattoo and peroxide to someone (?) and I mentioned how peroxide DOES burn.
>>I had that dream because I saw someone yesterday with strange white blots on his tattooed arm. I wondered about it. Plus, I cleaned some grooves in my cabinet using peroxide and I was surprised to discover it stung quite a lot and turned my fingertips white for a long time.

I woke very quickly "hearing" the computer ringing. But hubby wasn't calling me lol

Oh yeah, I also had a "Mario Brothers Dream" lol. I haven't had one of those for quite awhile!
I was just a computerized character going through seemingly impossible levels.

Another dream I had about a couple of months ago went like this- I was lying on my side awake, curled up a little. I think I was in sleep paralysis. So I was half awake. All of a sudden my body starts to rotate anti-clockwise. What I mean is that my head went from being on my pillow to down where my feet were and all 360degrees until I was back where I started! Although I was under my quilt, when I spun, I seemed to be on top of it because I could see my room moving round as I rotated! This happened a few more times and I couldn't wake myself up. I was actually scared. Eventually when I thought I was awake I thought I have to tell my mum and dad now because that was too creepy. So I got out of bed and started to feel my way along the wall to get out of my room. As I went to open the door, I actually woke up and was still in my bed.

Non-Lucid part:
I'm in a big city, running with my brother in the streets in the middle of the cars in a very heavy traffic.

The dream starts to fade and because of that (I think) I become lucid, I wake up anyway, but I manage to stay still to try a DEILD. I just imagine my dream body running in that same street and in few seconds I'm there again, fully lucid.

Lucid Part:
I'm again running in the same street but my brother isn't with me anymore.
I remember of my actual main objective that is finding and/or talking to the Short Haired Girl
I stop running and go to the sidewalk. The first DC that I see is a woman in the entry of a construction site. I ask her if she knows where I can find the Short Haired Girl. She says that the girl is in the "Production Center".
I don't have a clue of what is that "Production Center", I don't remember of hearing anything like this before.
I ask the woman where is this Production Center and she points to the opposite side of the street saying "that way".
The woman is very slow and used to loose the focus very easily when talking to me.
I remember of seeing a men inside of the construction site that looked like the boss of that woman, and he wasn't appreciating that she was talking to me.
Talking to her was a difficult task at this moment, it was hard to let the words come out from my mouth and even to listen to what she was saying.
After the dialog I start going in the direction that she told me.
The dream starts fading out, I remember that the last time I tried to stabilize by rubbing my hands or touching the ground it didn't work, so I only put my hand in front of my eyes and take a nice look of them till the dream get vivid again, it works very well and the dream is even more lucid and vidid that before, but the scenario is completely changed from that big city to a small village.
I continue going in the same direction I was going before see a car stopped there with a boy and a woman standing near of it. Both are blonde, the boy was about my and has an "emo bang" over his face. I assume that the woman was his mother.
I go in direction of them and ask the boy if he knows where is the Production Center that I am looking for, he says "I don't know" but his mother points another direction and says "I think that it is that way", I thank her and say "goodbye".
I start walking in this new direction and a group of 3 boys passes by my right side.
One of the guys seems to be the same guy I saw before.
I say "guys!" intending to tell them that that was a dream, but change of idea cause it wasn't my objective.
They just turn and continue walking in front of me in the same direction I was going.
I scream again "People!", they only look in the 3rd time that I scream. I jump really high over them doing a somersault.
They say things like "OMG, it was incredible / I never saw anybody doing anything like that". Now we four are walking together till we get to a fence.
I jump again over the highest wire of the fence and use its elasticity to push me into the air very high and do another somersault.
When I'm in the floor again they say the same things they said before.
One of them tries to climb the fence, but with much difficulty.
The dream starts to fade and I woke up again, but once again I was able to stay still and tried to do the same I did before, I imagined running in the scenario, but I wasn't able to imagine the same scenario I was before, the only image that was in my head was the image of my bedroom, I decided not to force imagining another scenario and risking to wake up, so I imagined a treadmill in the place of my bed and imagined me runing over it, everything fades and I experience another FA

FA:
I wake in my bed with a very loud noise goind around, a mix of stone crusher and broken washing machine.
I look at my hands, 5 fingers. I stand up and look at my hands again, 5 fingers yet. There is a table in the place of my brother's bed with a VCR and a Clock Radio, both showing the time, but one is different of each other and it gives me that thought "It's a little strange". I go in the direction of the door to see what was making such noise, but before opening the door I think "I'm gonna do a last RC" and try to fly. Bingo, I fly to the ceiling but can't pass trough it, so I come down again.
When I'm coming down the room is not the mine anymore, but it's really like my uncle's bedroom.
When I get to the floor again, a friend is using the computer. I ask him if he knows where the Short Haired Girl is.
He says "Friend, don't involve with this people". I ask him why but he doesn't say a thing.
I ask him if he believes in Lucid Dreams. He says no, cause it's impossible to 2 people meet each other in the dreams.
I tell him that I'm the one that is dreaming, and he is not real. I ask him to remember me that I'm dreaming everytime he see me again.
I'm a little sad about that because he never appeared before in my dreams, so its not much probable that he will appear and remember me that I'm dreaming, but I'm hopeful anyway
Aparently he accepts what I ask for. I remember that I wanted to fly trough the ceiling to see my neighboor from above and I do that. I fly up but my hands don't pass trough the ceiling.
I say "Pass trough" and it works. I'm in the upper apartment. It's completely empty so I decide to do the same thing again and get out from the building, and so I do saying "Pass trough" again while passing trough the ceiling.
I don't appear over the building but near to my grandma's house in my old city.
I try to reinforce my petition to my friend but before I could talk to him an aunt of mine appears and gives me a flick on the nape. When I'm trying again to talk to my friend my dog Ruck appears and walks near to me.
My dog died less than 2 months ago, I am 19 and had him since I was 5, so I really loved him. Ruck is very old in the dream. Just to take note, during the dream I knew the he was still dead, but I became very happy anyway, because I wasn't near when he died so I couldn't see him for the last time.
I caress his head just for a while and go back on saying to my friend again to remember me that I'm dreaming when he see me. After talking to him I go back to Ruck and say some times "Younger" till he gets younger like he was in his 3-4 years old.
After that the dream fades and I wake up very happy and don't even try to go back to the dream, it was awesome like it was and I didn't want to risk forgeting anything.

Dream Stats:
Went to sleep: 00:00 am
Duration: ~30min (5 non-lucid / 25 lucid)
Woke up at: 7:30 am

About two years ago now I had the strangest most vivid dream ever! I was lying in my bed awake on my stomach. My head was resting in my hands. I was relaxed. All of a sudden the top half of my mattress began to rise from the side my upper body was lying. It slowly rose with me on it until my head touched my feet! And then it slowly retuned back again. I wasn't scared, (I should have been) instead I was amazed, I wanted it to happen again. I lay there on my belly for about half a minute hoping it would happen again and sure enough, here I go again, the mattress starts to rise again! The whole time I could see my room and I could see my room moving as I moved so vividly. At 45degrees I could see the top half of my wall in front of me. At 90 I could see my ceiling and at 180 I could see what was behind me before and could feel my head touching my feet and my back touching my legs, (Now i'm not normally that flexible at all). Then again it slowly returned the mattress with me on it. This happened another 3 or 4 times and I dont remember waking up from that. I know the only logical explanation is to say I must have been dreaming it and I would have to go with that. Only because if I didn't then I would be too scared to sleep because it was sooooo dam real! Has anyone experienced anything like this? Please comment or email me.

First DJ Entry| First WBTB/SP attempt | 6.4.12
Into:
Let me start off by saying that I finished writing all of this and then I accidentally hit the backspace button and it went to the previous page and I lost all of the info i just typed ok so here I go again. This is my first DJ entry, but I also have started keeping entries in one that I keep by my bed. Last night I went to bed at 12midnight got a good 8 hours of sleep. I have a playlist on my Ipod which allows me to set alarm beeps to go off during my REM cycles. I decided to try a WBTB method, but instead of staying up for a while before going back to sleep I stayed completely still with my eyes shut and tried to enter SP before trying to enter into a LD. This is the first time I tried to do this. Even though I didn't end up becoming lucid, I still believe I had some success. Now onto my dream..

Part I
I was on my way to my brother David's wedding (he was just recently married in real life). I was outside in some sort of field at first with some of my other family members, but eventually it was time to go to the reception my sister drove me, David and one of my other brothers through the field. She was driving pretty crazily and swerving all throughout the field, and I kept making comments on her driving. She parked the van and then we all went inside. I could tell my comments about her driving had made her upset, and once we were inside I apologized a few times to her and then everything was ok. Then we were in the place where we had had the rehearsal dinner, and I was sitting next to my mom. I had my laptop out on the table for some reason while we were waiting for the food and I was checking my facebook. Then I noticed my mom was trying to look at my fb I could see her squinting her eyes like she was trying to read something on the status feed. I then looked at my facebook and got the feeling that someone had hacked it and put up stuff that I had not posted. I don't know exactly what it was, but I got the feeling that my mom wouldn't understand why the hacked stuff was on my computer so I started closing out the windows that were open. I thought there was only one window at first but then I realized there were a few as soon as I closed the first one.

It was soon after this that I woke up from the alarm beeps that I had set. At this point beeps would go off every 2 minutes for 8 minutes to keep help try and keep my mind awake but my body asleep. So once I realized that I was awake, I kept my eyes shut and focused on keeping my breathing the same as when I was sleeping. After a few min I think I started to enter SP. I tried not to think of anything specific, but instead I wanted to just let random thoughts come to me. I felt like I was moving in and out of SP, and all I was seeing was darkness then out of nowhere I saw a vivid metallic green colored circular geometric shape. Now it didn't look exactly perfect and it wasn't a maze, but it was similar to this picture I made on photoshop today: then after that I saw some quick cloud like visuals that looked something like this: I remember being excited about what I had just saw and I reminded myself to write them down when I woke up later on. At that point I felt too tired, and I knew the beeps that had been keeping me up were gone so I decided to just give into sleep. While I was doing this I kept thinking about the visuals that I had just witnessed, and all of the sudden I think this is where I slipped back into dreaming..

Part II
I got this feeling of moving forward, and I compared it to the feeling of driving in a car really fast. Then I was thinking it would be easier to enter SP if I was actually in a car while trying it and someone else was driving me.( I’m not sure when the thoughts started and the visuals started, but the next thing I know..) My best friend Scotty was driving me at night on this road that curved and in my dream I was trying to enter SP. When it didn’t work we continued to drive until I had him drop me off on the sidewalk, and I started to walk towards downtown State College. I continued walking the same direction scotty had been driving me and then I noticed a group of runners in white shorts and shirts behind me. Instead of getting out of their way I decided to see if I was still in shape which I soon found out that I wasn’t. I only ran for like 30 seconds, and I could hear them running up close behind me. I heard them making fun of me for how slow and out of shape I was. Then I had to rest so I moved out of the way and sat down on the grass next to the sidewalk to catch my breath. As the runners passed I yelled “YOU LOOK AMAZINGG!” at them, but I said it sarcastically because I guess I thought they looked stupid in their all white running clothes. I guess I was just mad that they made fun of me and that they were right. Then I got back up and continued on my way, and soon I was downtown looking around at the different bars and restaurants. I stopped at a couple different ones, but I didn’t order anything even though I wanted to. And that was the end.

May 30th, 2012

I can only recall a few seconds of this one. I'm in the entrance to my local Best Buy, with a casual friend whose identity I can't remember (seems similar to a friend from university), and I'm looking at an ad that seems to shift between a poster on the wall and a flyer in my hand. The ad for this one product takes up my entire field of vision for my entire memory of the dream. It's for a DVD of the first 8 episodes of 'Legend of Korra', an animated show I've been enjoying in my waking life. The ink of the image of the cover is out of alignment, and I think to myself, "Is this a bootleg?" It features the protagonist, Korra, waterbending stylishly on a blue background, offset by subtle red borders in the surrounding text. The rest of the ad is in the Best Buy colors of bright yellow, with a mellow, deep blue mixed in. I'm always looking up at the image, and it seems to be perpendicular to the ground, even when I seem to be holding it. I'm standing in the right side of a sharply diagonal entrance to the store. It's the middle of the day, and I'm there with some kind of purpose. I'm on my way out, friend in tow, either having accomplished my task with minimal effort, or having failed to no real consequence.

dream : comments : lucid

5th of June, 2012

Me and a whole group of my friends were walking somewhere. We came to a set of traffic lights crossing a train track and waited. Once we crossed we ended up at the front door of my friend's house which was literally 1/2 a metre away from the track. I commented that it was weird that they put a traffic light for the road when it would be just as dangerous for him to be unlocking his door and he should get one as well.

We went into his house and when I looked out the window I noticed that he had a couple of heaters on the track, which was basically his front yard. I was all "Won't that be dangerous for a train?" but he said that he'd never had a problem before.

At that moment a train came around the corner and slowly started crashing through the heaters. At first it looked as though it was going to make it but then one wheel came loose and the whole train slowly, epically derailed in front of us and flipped over. I burst into action, scared that the back end of the train had hit Nooks who was standing around the corner of the house. Luckily I didn't see her anywhere so I jumped on board making sure no one was hurt, which they weren't due to seatbelts. Just then the front carriage kept driving away which I thought was both rude and pretty slack of the driver to do.


There was also something about a live performance of Little Shop of Horrors in there somewhere...

It's pretty obvious I'd been thinking about this month's TotM with the train, but I didn't pick up on it. Better start working on my awareness more!
