All DJ Entries

Yes, I remembered nine dreams from last night. I think it has to do with it being a Saturday and being able to sleep in - I remember dreams better that way.

I can't remember the entire order though.

Dream 1: Hypnagogic imagery. It had something to do with a car. That's all I remember.

Dream 2: I was indoors, in a bedroom of some sort. I was with a kid who looked kind of like my brother and kind of like a friend I had in middle school (I think he kept changing). He was wearing a black sweatshirt. There was a spider hanging down from a web next to him as he sat on the bed. The spider kept moving around; it was scary and disgusting. Apparently the kid wasn't sure if he wanted to kill it or let it stay alive. It was red and black and changed from mostly red to looking like a black widow. It was really creepy.

Dream 3: I was at a restaurant. There was a girl who was in love with a guy that were sitting at a table either with me or near me; I honestly can't remember. I was at the restaurant and saw a group of friends along with the two people who were in love with each other. I think the girl was blond and the guy looked like Orlando Bloom or that one character from the Princess Bride with the black hair...but I can't remember fully. -_- I had chicken nuggets on my plate. I was around people for a while, then suddenly I was at a more solitary table, and I felt a bit lonely. Then I went to the bathroom or something, and when I came back, almost all the lights were out. Everyone was silent and the doors and windows of the restaurant were shut; you couldn't get out. For some reason my brother was there, sitting at a table. I asked him what was going on, and he told me. I don't exactly remember what he said, but I think the restaurant had been taken by an evil group or something.

Why must I have so many nightmares? D:

It must've been right around this point when I realized, although sleepily and hazily, that this was a dream. Which leads me into

Dream 4: As soon as I realized I was dreaming, the scene fell away and shifted to something nicer. I was with a girl and I wanted to travel with her into a place where we could fall in love. I was lucid at this time, but my awareness was kind of low. We looked at a few places: a foggy city, a beautiful urban city with black buildings and yellow/multicolored lights (reminiscent of LA), and over a nebula thing in space. Yes, we were flying. However, for some reason, I got scared (this happens a lot when I get lucid, which is dumb because it's a dream; what is there to be scared of?) and I woke up.

Dream 5: I was chosen to be in a piloting class, with only 3 or so people in it, for whatever reason. The instructor asked if we had read the assigned textbook material. I hadn't, but flipped to the back of the book, where there was an astronomy section. Then we went outside in some sort of hover vehicle to go around town, and that's when I looked out the window and saw a shooting star! I've never seen one before (I've caught glimpses of them, but was never sure if it was just my imagination or not), and in the dream I couldn't remember if I had seen one once before or not. Anyway, the meteor was a giant gray rock with little pieces coming off of it, and it glowed this beautiful shade of electric blue. IT WAS SO COOL! When I saw it, I yelled out "WHOA!" because I had never seen one before and because it was so enormous. My friend and the instructor, who were in the craft with me, were so happy for me.

Dream 6: I was on this psychology forum that I go to. One of my friends' profile said that you must tame the beast and it will choose you. And for some reason, I thought I was getting a dragon. XD Instead, I got a creature that looked like Barney. My subconscious is so bizarre. O__________O XD

Dream 7: Someone was telling me I was addicted to the internet, and I got (understandably) very mad at them. That's all I remember.

Dream 8: We were supposed to be driving somewhere, even though that day was apparently going to be "Carmageddon." (This has its basis in reality, because my brother went to a cross-country race on that day, today.) I figured that (for some reason) there would hardly any cars in the morning, so we should just go then. But we weren't going...for some reason.

Dream 9: My mom got interested in personality theory! And I think she was looking at a typology forum. I highly doubt this would happen in real life - I've tried to tell her about it - but you never know, I guess.

That took forever to type. xD

I am working on some of the networking equipment at the office. I punch down a couple of cables into the patch bay, then run patch cords over to the switch. As soon as I plug in the last patch cord, I hear a click followed by a fan spinning down. I look to my right to see that one of my co-workers had just turned off the power switch on the firewall. She looks at me and says, “I turned it off because it was getting too warm.” I replied, “You do know that you just turned off the whole Internet, right?” She said, “Oops.” and then walked away.

For some reason, the firewall is out of its chassis and is sitting on a shelf. The bare circuit board is resting on a telephone book and the power supply is dangling off to the side with its cable plugged into the board. I reach back over and turn on the power switch and the fan spins back up. When I pull my hand back from the switch, I bump into the cables and knock the circuit board off the telephone book. The front of the board touches the metal shelf and makes a couple of sparks. Immediately, the hard drive in the firewall starts making the click of death.

Realizing that the firewall is now completely fucked, I wander over to the R&D lab to see if there is an extra firewall laying around. As I walk by the boss's office, I see that his door is closed and the doorknob is missing. I knock on his door to tell him that the Internet will be down for a little while, but I get no answer. I continue down the hall to the R&D storage room. When I enter, the light will not turn on. I look at the switch and it is in the up position. I flip it down and up again, but no light.

I suddenly wake up, thinking about the light switch not working. Chances are, I was on the verge of lucidity, but shocked myself awake instead. I tried to re-enter the dream, but ended up having another short dream with zero recall.

• NON-DREAM • NOTES • DREAM • LUCID •

Thunder awakes me and I find myself laying on a blanket under a small pop-up canopy in the back yard. The rain hasn't started yet, but it is close. Lightning streaks through the sky and thunder follows shortly behind. After a moment, I lay down and go back to sleep.

This is one of my weirdest dreams.... I was in my house and my dad was holding a box in front of me that had 3 cats in it.
All 3 of the cats looked like one of my cats. Like this. (Obviously not 100% accurate)

And no they weren't kittens, they were 3 cats sleeping in a box together, and they all looked exactly the same.

Next part of the dream, I was with a few friends in my school and we had guns and we were just running around looking for enemies or whatever. Then I remember like dropping my gun or something, then having to go back and get it. The gun looked mostly like this.

This was a pretty weird dream... I never actually got to shoot anything though... :/
I'm not even a violent person and have never gotten in trouble with the law or anything... Why do so many of my dreams involve me having a gun...??? Or that there's random police officers???

I rate this dream 3/5 awesome dances.

We were walking up a road with a small circular park in the middle, that thing where the cars could revolve around. I thought it seemed familiar, but something was off. Then I realized everything looked old, and the people were wearing traditional clothes. I realized it was a dream and went lucid. It must have been in the 1900's, because there weren't any buildings -- just wooden houses and kalesas. However, instead of changing the dream scene or using powers or anything, I decided to just...explore. It didn't even cross my mind. At that moment, I just thought that it wasn't everyday that I got to dream of my country's past. If I manipulated the dream, who knows when I get that chance again?

So for the rest of the dream, which probably lasted about 10 minutes, I just walked around and watched the dream characters. Some men were farming in the distance, with some carabaos. Some women were out in their porches, weaving blankets with a huge wooden tool. Some kids were running around.

Spoiler for kalesa:

Spoiler for carabao:

Spoiler for weaving thing:

Spoiler for traditional clothes:

Some of them even saw me, took off their straw hats, and bowed courteously. I bowed back.


I woke up a few minutes after that. But that was such a beautiful experience. I travelled back in time and got to explore! I doubt any of my friends have done that. Suckers.

I was walking around a large pond, very shallow. In it was standing a bison big enough to fill the pond, clearly dead, as it had large rotting chunks taken out of it, yet able to stand. The size was probably larger than a small bus, although I was never standing close, more looking down at it in the pond. I wondered where the matter would go when it disintegrated. It was not particularly disturbing, although there wasn't much detail, and the grass had a bland, bright, untextured quality to it.

No recall.

[I just traveled back to school, and it might take a few days for my dream recall to adjust to the new setting. Also, that means classes are starting soon, and I'm probably going to have a lot less time to write these entries. I'll still try to update every day, even if I don't have enough time to write down all the details. Hold me to it! ]

[Contains a mild SPOILER for book four of the Wheel of Time series. I remembered this dream pretty well when I first woke from it yesterday morning, but since then I've forgotten it. . . .]

Frags:

• Jenn Aiel, Rand al'Thor, something about clearing the land
• Siuan Sanche (post-stilling) and a blue knife

Math Battle

I forgot to bring my sword when I entered this dungeon. Swords haven't been allowed in the previous dungeons, so I've gotten in the habit of not bringing them. But now I'm worried that the creatures in this dungeon will be too difficult to kill without one. And a humanoid creature just appeared out of the darkness to attack me. It looks familiar, like the Draugr from Skyrim, but the name that identifies it is unfamiliar to me, so I'm guessing it must be a higher-level version of what I've fought before. Uh oh!

We exchange a few blows. It's not an easy battle, but I think I'll be able to defeat it. I must have gotten used to hand-to-hand combat while going through those other dungeons.

I know that there's a girl somewhere in the dungeon, an adversary of mine, who was somehow responsible for designing the dungeon. Eventually I catch up to her, near a wall with three thick, knotted ropes hanging from the ceiling in front of it. It's the final round of the math competition. I, the girl, and another guy who won the competition last year are the only three contestants remaining. We stand around for a bit while the rules are explained. There are three different math problems to chose from, one at the top of each rope. The first person to climb a rope and solve a problem wins.

Without warning, last year's winner says, "Well, let's go," and starts the stopwatch. It takes a couple of seconds for me to realize what happened. When I finally do, I feel like that was unfair of him, but I don't say anything--I just grab a rope and start climbing. It also seems strange that one of the competitors is in charge of the clock. The girl is behind both of us, somehow out of the running.

The problem at the top of my rope has many diagrams of pyramids constructed by stacking lots of spheres, only sometimes a group of spheres will be missing from the pyramid. As I'm struggling to understand what the problem is asking, the other guy says, "Why are you working on that problem? This one's much easier." Startled, I decide without thinking to switch to the other problem. The other problem has a diagram of a lot of dominoes arranged in a complicated pattern. You're looking at the pattern from off to the side at an angle (rather than top-down). I have trouble understanding what this problem is asking, too.

A bit later, I learn that only a few seconds remain. My answer sheet is still blank. I decide to leave it that way. Not a very good show, but I'll just try to do better next time. I'll try not to let people like that guy throw me off by making me second-guess which problem to do.

I go back to my seat as we wait for the results to be announced. For a moment, I'm confused, because it looks like there's someone already sitting in it. But then I look again, and it's empty. I must not have been looking at the right place.

The teacher starts discussing how to use graphing calculators to perform addition of "structs." I listen to the first couple of sentences, but then I tune out, because I already know how to do this. Suddenly I think I'm dreaming, and I wake myself up.

Night of 9-28-12

It was dark. I remeber walking (maybe running, head was down) and i saw my hand pulling towards my face. I held my nose (By this point i was halfway past the screen outside my house) and i took a deep breath, not expecting to be able to. When i felt the cool air rush into my nostrils i realized i was dreaming. I just rounded the corner when i saw two white things (Maybe people, ghosts) coming towards me. I was afraid. I seemed to know they were bad. I grabbed one about a foot below the top of the white rush (neck?) I held it as i spun around once. I let it go, kinda like a fighting game, or mario 64 when you are throwing bowser. It hit the second entity and they both went flying back. I dont remeber if they crashed into anything. It finally came to me actually what was going on. I was lucid dreaming. I remebeered about being able to teleort, and to do that you had to spin. I wanted to see my ex, kupec. So i thought i should teleort into her house. I tried and spun around and around. there was a white light. Then i woke up in my bed. The time was 2:32, but my clock's time is off. the actual time was 5:47am. Then i closed my eyes and trie to sleep. I was hoping to reenter the dream, but i just woke up.

I usually write one sentence for each dream to summarize the essential point.

Non Lucid
The invite for coffee on behalf of karmapa, they are so much more devoted then me.

The guru said yes indeed everything is empty, I saw who he was.

Lucid dream
In my apartment trying to get away from something scarey. This is a dream and I know it.

While cleaning my cat's shit I realized wait I am dreaming. I remember my goal to find a painting and walk through it (A old task of the month). I find a painting that appearing to be a land scape of Mexico. I walk through it and I lose lucidity!

Next goal is to find a wish fulfilling gem and wish to be transported to Tokyo, Japan. I'll let you know what happens.

Thoughts
Lucid
Non lucid

Yeah so the written journal is a pain. Not happening anymore. It was fun but It looks like a child did it.

Sept 28, 2012

I was competeing in some obstical course. It was more about balance that strenth or speed. The other two guys where in was more shape than me but seemed to struggle. We had a practice run. One guy got 20min. The other 19min. I got 18min. They were surprised and pissed off. I got nervous that I tried too hard because now they will know how to beat me. We have some strange opening cerimony. We carried a load of rocks and scattered gun powder. We light it. I wondered if I would go first. My last starts with a C and thier names where Papove and Ipaonne. I see a gold trophy in an opeining on a wall. I know it will be mine. I tell myself just dont fall and you got it.

10:51PM
Fragment about setting up a board game.

2:50AM
I am walking on a beach. I want to swim but we walk down some more. The sand turns into something like a rubber mat that looks like sand. I can feel the difference on my feet. I tease some girl about it. I see two large pools. On stinks of choline and looks cloudy with a typical blue bottom. One is salty but clear and has coral growing in the bottom. I jump in that one. I swim so fast that I am exhilarated. The deep end is 20ft and I swim to the bottom fast like a fish. I think to hold my breath but just end up just breathing. (dreamsign!) I see my sis and one of her kids. Dad says something about retarded kids. My mom cries. And I feel bad for my nephew and sis.

Then we are in the living room of my parents house. Dad say, "If he knew more about beer he would drink." I leave and wishing he would. Then maybe we would be more chill. I think how he should start brewing then he would learn or even start drinking and he would really learn about beer. I see beer bottles in my car and think that I must have drank them on the way over. I text my wife something.

Now I am driving in heavy traffic and it is going so slow. Some cars are driving on the wrong side.

Now I am standing in a line. Someone calls a few names and they go in front. Then I realize it is a MSSU alumni event and I have no place here. I see I am holding an old cataloge from when I went to college here. I hold it like it is my ticket. I think I might as well try to get free food. I make a plate and realize it is all raw when I see and electric skillet on a table. Someone says it is like HuHot but you have to cook it. I pick a frozen fish off my plate and give it back. I say I cant eat this. I start thinking about where I want to eat out. Some guy is ranting how they were not supposed to serve food like this.

5:47AM
My kids are supposed to go to jury duty. I think about how odd it is but I am excited for them. I think I will be fun.

6:13AM
I have the thought that the first nuclear explosion was "hand made". I look at my hands and I am holding some radioactive red goo in a beaker. I am wearing a lab coat. Then my hands vibrate and emit huge amounts of energy and light. I look up and see tendrils of jet black mist swirl around me and move toward a room full of people. Some young and beautiful woman takes a step towards me with an expression of awe. Then brilliant red energy follows from me. I see the people's skin melt off and dry up and turn to dust. I am still focused on the woman and see her death in vivid detail. It all happened in an instant. Now I can only see her blackened skeleton among every one else in the room. They are left standing like statues in the same pose as before the explosion. Some of them never noticed anything happened. I notice that I am unharmed.

8:40AM

A Sacajawea looking Indian woman is walking. I see an indian man with his trousers down. I point and tell him. He gets them up but his loin cloth is showing and I see his manhood. He does a stupid dance and I just walk away.

There is a soda machine that shoots the cans through a chute into a basketball net. I tell the kids to look. I can hear a loud pnuematic air sound.

I love dreaming. It's like my favorite thing to do at night! Recently, I've been doing a lot of research on the web about lucid dreaming and controlling your dreams. And last night, it finally paid off.

I had like 10 dreams but obviously could only remember a few. #1. My family was in a haunted house, and we were scared. Our dad was missing, and we were worried sick We were all huddled in a room, the wind was blowing against the house. It shook. It was midnight, black. We heard creeking throughout the house, and saw a dark shadowy figure creeping up the stairs. I suddenly remembered, can't you change the endings to your nightmares? Could this be a dream? So I close my eyes, and imagine a happier ending, a beautiful place. And I opened them.

Everything was now like they were submerging from water. The setting shimmered and changed, I was amazed looking around. Feeling soo relived it worked. The dark turned to light. My family turned happy. We were now in our front yard.

#2 Now i know this is a dream. I tell my mom, dad, brother, everyone. "THIS IS A DREAM!" They were like really? It was pretty funny. I start laughing hysterically and bring my little brother up on this hill. I remember somewhere in a book that if you realize you're dreaming, you can do whatever you want! Of course, I wanted to.. FLY! So I go up to this hill we have in our backyard, I jump off. I floated for a little, but fell down. Determined, I kept trying. I IMAGINED myself flying, I BELIEVED, I could. I PRETENDED to have this powerful wind LIFT me up in the sky. Guess what? It worked. I was laughing and so happy. I was kicking my legs like you would if you were swimming, so i could move. It was.. amazing. I soared over my mom and dad, who were under a tree. I yelled, LOOK! IM FLYING! They didn't see me. Oh but my brother did. I picked him up and went across the road to these fairies (weeeird) who were building 4 houses, one representing each season. They were beautiful. I accidently landed. So I pick up my brother and try flying again. I crashed in the road. A car honked at me. Wow lol.

#3 I was at someone's house, I still knew it was a dream. We were eating dinner, it was hotdogs stuffed in a caramel apple. CREEPY But they were surprisingly REALLY good. IN the dream at least. I thought it was missing something to it. I concentrated just a bit, and POOF! There's a bottle of cheese next to me. "Yay!" I put it all over my hotdog stuffed apple.

I love controlling my dream. Today, I'm gonna try to do it again. I'm gonna change the setting, make people i want appear, and walk on water! Can't wait to try it out
