#173 - 4:21am - MILD


I don't know when I become lucid exactly as the first part of this dream is hazy. I think I must have been at least semi-lucid for a bit until I fully realized it was a dream.

I am in some office building. There are chairs and a couch to wait and a long rounded counter with three young women working behind it. The look of it reminds me of something like the county tax assessors office at the courthouse in Carthage, MO. The look and feel is the same and the building looks just as old.

I think there was something about... I was trying to get someone to help me but for some reason they chose to ignore me. I get annoyed and sit back down.

Then an elderly black man in an old school suit and fedora comes in and starts talking to the women at the counter. He looks a lot like Morgan Freeman but says he is Jesus. This gets my attention.



I am fully lucid now and standing next to him. I ask him shocked, "Did you just say you were Jesus?"
He's several inches taller than me and has to look down to answer, "That's right."
I remember I am standing there in just my boxer-briefs and make a weak attempt to cover myself. "Oh well I guess I should be more dressed but I think it's OK since I am really in my bed. This is a dream."
Jesus gives me a half smile and a knowing look and gets back to talking to the women. "Now, what I was sayin' was, Everyone's clicking along like an old dog...tryin' to find their way... But they all got something missing. You ain't gonna get nowhere without Jesus."
I interrupt him now though he looks finished, "OK wait. Let me make sure I'm going to remember this." I recite the words back to him, "Everyone's clicking along like an old dog...tryin' to find their way... But they all got something missing. Uhhh... what was the last part."
Now, Jesus looks like he can't remember what he just said and I find this to be a flaw. I suppose he really is just a dream character after all. He scrunches his face and hisses through his teeth like he is trying so hard to remember. "Oh Jesus help me", he says.
"Oh wait" I blurt out the rest of the words, "You ain't gonna get nowhere without Jesus. I got it."
Jesus smiles, gives me another knowing look and looks satisfied. Was he just toying with me there? He turns to the women behind the counter. "Now. Get this man an account." He puts his fedora on and turns to leave.
"Hey wait.", I say. Jesus pauses. "Ummm. Well... Why do you look..."
Jesus' head snaps around and he gives me a half-joking scolding look.
I figure he knows anyway I might as well just ask. "I'm just going to say it. Why are you a black man?"
Jesus shrugs and leaves me to figure it out waiting patiently.
I say, "Oh because you're Jesus and you can take any form you want!"
Jesus tips his hat and smiles and walks away.

I turn to the women behind the counter buy they are hurriedly getting things together to leave for the day. I guess I don't really need an account? Not wanting the dream to end and forgetting all my goals now, I say, "Hey! What do you want to do now?
The one that I just seem to know as Megan says, "Play paintball!"
"Oh well I..." I stop myself thinking of Jesus' visit.
"What?"
"Oh I was going to say something inappropriate but I don't think Jesus would appreciate that."
Megan laughs, "Oh well you better keep it to yourself."

The dream seems to be starting to fade now but I suddenly remember part of my task. It was something to do with intelligent DCs. I decide to just test one of the ladies. I see and plain yet attractive brunette sitting on the couch waiting for the other girls. There is a tall window behind her letting in sunlight. The room looks slightly smoky. I walk to her. "Hey, what's your name?"
Megan sarcastically yells from the back room, "Uh MEGAN."
"Not you. Her."
The brunette answers, "Kaysha"
"What?"
"Kaysha."
I find the name odd and it feel a little like I forced her to say a random name. "Ok Kaysha. Who are you?"
Kaysha immediately responds, "The administrator."
"The administrator... Yeah that's not what I meant. Who are you personally?" As soon as I asks that Kaysha, along with the other two, including Megan, shut down and becomes silent and lifeless. I pat her leg with mock sympathy but mostly for stability as now the dream is getting really dark. I continue now with a mocking tone. "See? That's what I'm talking about. It's OK Kaysha. It's OK.

The dream fades and I allow myself to wake up to recall the dream.

Can vaguely remember one dream, of me being in a car with my fiancée and having another jeep type car with a dark shorthaired woman driving alongside us asking to buy pasta sauce off us or something along the lines of that.

I think after she told us the price she was willing to pay, both of us laughed (or at least she did) and then I can't really remember much after that (or before it for that matter).

This all took place coming up to the foresters arms in Jersey, from St Aubin direction, around about the car sales shop (all of these are personal references for reflection on the dream).

Poor night of re-call - pasta sauce is probably related to the fact that I'd had lasagne the night before which involved me forking out a load of money on three jars of cheeses/sauces.

Had a really crappy dream last night. The mood stayed with me all day long. not even gonna write it down, hoping to forget it.

Nap dream:

I started to work in a huge, square shape, one story house. A girl is talking to someone through open door and I'm getting worried, that he is some stranger. So i'm asking around, if anybody knows him. By then he leaves and runs after a small yellow and green truck that was delivering stuff to the house to catch a ride. It's quite a distance to town.

Dream recall from today's naps. Had problems falling asleep again and not much recall when i managed to.

Dream 1(fragment):

I wake up in my room but before i can do anything dream fades out.

Dream 2(fragment):

I wake up in my room again and like before dream just fades out.

I haven't journalled my dreams in quite awhile, but this one was vivid enough that I thought it warranted logging. I'll try to list off some of my desires for the time being and then relate them to the events in my dream.

I went highlining yesterday, it was fantastic. I realized that you're ALWAYS "doing it"; it's false to think that, as soon as you get up on the line, "now's the time" to start doing what you need to do. There's no difference between walking, between falling, balancing or correcting; for that matter, there's no difference between rigging, waiting your turn, driving out, setting up, or meeting who you need to meet to do what you need to do. It's all part of the process. There's no real distinction between preparation and the act itself---it's all part of the process.

I slept rather poorly from being so beat up and exhausted, plus the outdoors triggered my allergies really badly so I couldn't breathe well during the night. I woke back up at 6am, took a sudafed, and fell back asleep until noon. After waking up and getting a burrito, I came back home and fell asleep again, for another two and a half hour nap. The nap was when I had this dream.

I was at Peet's, doing a bar close, and Robert was the shift lead. People came up to the line, ordering drink after drink, and although I was able to entertain them, the grinder wasn't working, so it was impossible for me to get them what they wanted. First it ran out of beans, then I tried to refill them but I put the hoppers on backwards, and it was just a huge mess. I had an idea of how to make them, but it just never came together. I was able enough to talk to the people waiting in the bench, but eventually they left in impatience. I was distracted, although I can't really remember by what at this point. (Should've written this down earlier!) Vivid images: people waiting in the back of house, (william?) I think Sonny was there, and I was at Franklin park at some point in the dream. I found it really hard to focus. Maybe this is indicative of knowing the things I "should" do, but I prefer a life of distraction. Or I haven't reached a level of lucidity where I'm able to fully discern the important things, and keep focus.

My surroundings are places where I do not especially want to be, but they are adequate. I recall feeling a level of timorousness at Peet's, and I was afraid of the consequences of being inadequate at my job. Eventually I asked Robert for help, but it was too late, and he was mad. He is definitely more accommodating in real life, but I was afraid of him in the dream. The strangest part is that I know I'm good at my job, yet I still have this fear.

I slept SO LONG, and I have so much energy right now. I can't help but feel like I should have done better in some way. I just keep having the image of the line, right below the sun, and taking one step at a time, one at a time. You're always doing it. So applying this lesson to a bigger context: I'm not in "downtime" right now, I'm doing it. I'm doing it.

I woke up around 5:30 in the morning. I had just been in several dreams over the past few hours but can't remember much of them. My alarm goes off at 6:00 so I don't have much more time, so I lay back and start to think. Not surprisingly I fell asleep.

I was riding the school bus. I don't know how I got there. The ride itself is fragmented, but I did recognize some people there. Something must have happened because we were headed to school but turned around. We eventually arrived back at my house. The bus had driven half way up my driveway and the driver was telling to get off. I got off and started walking up my driveway.

I live and a rural like small town. My house is set a bit off from the rode in the woods so the driveway is a bit long. It's also dirt. The bus has never driven up the driveway before, only in dreams. The house sits on a small plateau.

I was about 50 feet from the house, just before the incline to the dooryard. That is when I realized, this was dream. Becoming aware felt like a slightly violent event. Everything seemed to become much more vivid and real. It also felt like someone hit me in chest. I imagine it's like the feeling of waking up from the Matrix for the first time, when you first become aware.

I walked forward and got halfway up the incline. I dropped to my knees and put my hands into the dirt. I kept repeating that this was my dream and I would be anchored to it. While doing that tried to activate my senses. I smelt the air, listened to the wind, felt and inspected the ground. Then I picked up a clump of sand and put it in my mouth. Needless to say dream sand taste like real sand, so I forcefully ejected it from my mouth. I stood up and walked toward my house. When I got to the first step I stopped and looked up at the sky. There were dark rain clouds in the sky. I shouted, "CLARITY" at the sky. When I did this there was load roaring of thunder and cascade of lighting, like God himself was answering.

I headed inside and saw my mother laying on the couch. I can't remember much after this but I do know I was really strange. I lost lucidity somewhere during this as well.

I managed to wake myself up though. When I looked at my clock it read 5:57. Just in time to get up.

1. I am lucid. I am in a factory setting. I try to explain to a crowd of characters about what happened in my previous dream. There is a man giving a tour in the scene of my dream. The people appear frustrated. I decide that it is my dream, the world is mine, and I jump on the tour-holder, liberating myself from the restraints. A group of DCs follow me happily.

A business man, outside in the open, steps out of a black car and says: "Let's go. It's time to wake up," but I just flip him off. I make the mistake of thinking it is a shared dream, and I run with five other people. I tell them to focus on their senses to make the dream real, but I did not realize that they weren't. We race through a desert and forest. I have begun to label all forested areas (those that aren't plains or urban) as part of the Marsh, because it has expanded recently and has been appearing a lot in my dreams lately. We see a house. Grimilia steps out of a corner. I have not seen her in years; why has she returned? She must be sentient for her to appear like this. She must be a part of me that has become self-aware, dissociated from my psyche because of her significance or other reasons. Maybe she resembles something or somebody. Could she be a representation of a problem? Some things happen, and everything explodes into a blinding white. I tell the characters to run, but when I look back I only see two of them.

It was a little after 8 o'clock this morning. I was laying in bed not wanting to get up. The sun was pouring through the window, illuminating the room, making it vary difficult to sleep. I was rolling restlessly in bed, pulling my blanket over myself to block the sun, and then throwing them off when I got hot. I settled, laying on my right side, arm under my pillow, starring at my bedroom door. My mind started to wander. I must have fallen asleep at this moment, although I can't remember when.

I was laying in the same position as when I was awake, and the environment was the same. It was as if I hadn't even fallen asleep. I was doing the same thing as when I was awake, just thinking. I don't know how long I thought, or for that matter what of. But then I realized something, I was thinking about a person who I'd never met.

Then something striking came to thought, 'Am I dreaming?' I reached up and plugged my nose, and to my surprise, the air rushed right on through. I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed. My room looked just as I had left it, and it all look real. My heart was beating hard and I had a knot in my stomach, I was really excited. It couldn't have been more then a few seconds before a rush of weariness came over me. I slowly fell back on to my pillow and my eye lids felt like they were being pulled down. I fought the pull and tried to force my eyes back open.

It worked. With a gasp my eyes opened wide and I shot back up in my bed. Just this time it was for real.

12-2/?/12-13

1. I come to school and go inside. I go to the library in the morning, but it looks very different. Upon pulling a book from the shelf, I become transported to some sort of place. It is like I am floating in the sky. Text appears in the sunrise. It is like I am taking a test, and the clouds are my paper. I am asked a series of questions by a voice in the heavens. I look down, but I cannot see anything. Then, he speaks another time, and the text jumbles together and rewrites itself, spelling out: "YOU ARE DREAMING." Everything becomes shockingly vivid. Then, I proceed to the next question. The voice asks me something, and music begins to play. A little black button appears with an electronic base, floating in front of me, with the words "DEMISE" scribbled onto it. I press it.
2. I am in the living room late at night with my headphones on. I assume I fell asleep with it on. Then, I realize that the voice on the podcast is the same as the one from the dream. I become lucid. Then, a familiar woman enters my house. She tells me to go to sleep, but I know that I already am. "You aren't real! I'm dreaming," I say, but she just looks at me. Everything feels so real that I begin to believe that I've actually woken up. It is time to settle this. I do a reality check, but I get a false negative. My eyes are blurry- I try to pull my eyelids apart to clarify, but I cannot. This is a common dreamsign among my false awakenings. I close my eyes, and force them open, waking myself, even if just to prove it was just a dream.

Windy! I had a Z-Apocalypse dream last night too. But that was a minor part and it seemed far away from my part of the dream, like someone else was the main character but the dreams spilled over into each other. Was your dream anywhere near a forest, or a primary school?

In this one dream one of my cousins was flirting with a girl from my church. But when they were done with that we walked out into the street (well beside the street) and I saw two deer climbing a tree (in the dream I was like "Since when do deer climb trees?!") Well the deer climbed the tree and when they were at the top they jumped. The tree was like 20 feet tall, roughly 6 meters for those outside of the U.S. and the way they landed was to tuck in there front legs and land sideways while kind of rolling. The first one landed safely and began walking away. But the second one jumped to far and when it tucked in it's legs it hit the road. Really hard, so it died. At least that's what I thought. Then my little brother ran over to it screaming and poked it, then it got up, it was all messed up and ran away.

In my earlier dream I was standing on a dirt pile, like huge, kind of like a really small mountain. And I jumped, but I jumped REALLY far and landed on another dirt mound.

Now here's the dream with the zombies. Well I was in the car with my mom and some of her friends. Then I had to get out. It was me and my brother. Then I went into the forest and I saw a rainbow. Then through most of my forest time I was killing Greek gods who told me things like "You would betray your friends for the prize too." Actually, the guy who said that was on a team with me and my brother. Well he ended up tricking my brother into running back into the forest after we walked out and this is what happened. He began to run after my brother to kill him. So I started chasing him. He picked up a big pipe so he could throw it at my brother, so I picked up a large branch to throw at him before he could hit my brother with the pipe. As he stopped to talk to my brother before he threw the pipe, I threw the branch at him. He fell to the ground and yelled. I ran up to him and apparently something else had fell on him too, a LOT bigger than my branch. So I picked up the branch, and began to twist it into his back (like a screw) until the hole was completely through his back, it took three times to do that before he died. Then me and my brother walked out of the forest confidently, knowing this was only the beginning. And as we crossed the street and were walking in someone else's front yard a blue SUV came rushing down the street, then as they rode by us they stomped on the brakes and the tires screeched as they sped back down the road and pulled up beside us. Since me and my brother went through a lot we were wary of getting in, even though the people in the truck were all very close family. I assumed that they were gods who changed form. But something made that change. Then a zombie came up from down the street and from that one zombie I felt that everything down the street was plagued by zombies. (This is only a fraction of the whole dream.)

Did I have a synch with you? This isn't from this morning, it was from an earlier night. I'll highlight in blue where I think we synched.

4/28/13

1. Someone jumps off of a cliff. They witness a sailing accident. It was for sport, and they survived because of their intent. I used to do something similar in previous dreams; I should have become lucid. A team is dispatched to get the jumper. Everyone still agrees that it wasn't for suicide, but I am uncertain. We fly in a helecopter over hills and mountains and bays and trees. The scenery was also another oblivious dreamsign. We land on a mountain. A boy (I think so, I am still uncertain of the gender of the characters) suddenly sprints off the cliff. An odd aura comes over me, and I feel as if the dream is taking place in the air and the land at the same time. In the air, I fall off the helicopter in a sudden jolt, but I am still clung to my reality watching this man jump to what should have been his death. I cannot explain it with words. I feel as if I fell of the helicopter for the intention of retrieving the (alive) boy. He was intending to rescue the other character, who I think has melted into a woman. I get both of them in the water. I am under pressure, and my head rings. I begin to get claustrophobic at the waves crashing and pulling the water and me. I get him, but we have to walk back to the rest of the group. The character that jumped spontaneously has disappeared from the dream. The woman who jumped and witnessed the accident has been kidnapped, although I was not aware of it. I am in a warehouse, and I remember the image of guns and the woman. I cannot remember what culminated following this. I remember walking out of the area, and becoming lucid on the street. I tell myself to stop denying it. I said that the entire scenario gave off the unrecognizable scent of dream. I remember my intent to find Tibb, the dream guide, but I fall backwards and characters spin around the dream, and I fade.

2. I am in a resort. There is a lake's beach. There are many platforms from which to fall. Many people jump (with harnesses). I get some food, and the fog comes in. It is not sunny and sweaty but cool with much plant life all around. The beach slowly changes into a cliff, and the platforms disappear. My school seems to merge with the scenery, and my classmates begin to spawn. People still jump with harnesses, except they jump diagonally in order to traverse the landscape via sky. You can fall for miles horizontally and stop suddenly and fall vertically. I cannot explain it, but the dream populous seems to be stricter about falling than the previous dream. Before, people were jumping everywhere off of hills with no fear of death. I attempt to jump with my friends, but the guard holds me back. He says that I need to have gloves or mittens because the forest is "very cold while in the sky." In order to jump, I need to have mittens to prevent frostbite, but I cannot find any. I begin to ask people for a pair. I get a jacket, but "that is not a mitten." I eventually start to loot people's backpacks. I still cannot find mittens. Now, the dream scenery is both indoors and outdoors because of the school. I am not allowed to jump, and my friends leave without me. I am very disappointed. I think that I have one more period after this (hence the invasion of the school-motif), meaning I can try again. By now, the dreamscape has completely changed from the beach to the cliff, hills, and forest to finally my schoolyard. I begin to ask for mittens again. I am met with glaring looks, but I go to a pile of socks. An idea strikes my mind, and I attempt to use the socks as gloves for next time.

I recall thinking whether or not i should jump out this window and try to fly.... i took the risk and kinda.... glided .

Could feel it that I was dreaming.

It feels like..... a deep sigh of relaxation

I woke up in the middle of the night then went back to sleep [maybe false awakening.] So i'm going along in a lucid dream and what not. Then out of nowhere the dream stops. I'm back in my bed right were i was when i went to sleep. Exactly the same. Except everything was black and white. I was still conscious at the time, it felt like i was awake but i could tell i was asleep because i could not talk or move, like i could see through my eyelids. I think i might've been in sleep paralysis. There was this big black monster standing over me not moving at all just staring. It resembled the stature of a human only croched over. I tried to tell it to get away from me using my mind. I woke myself up before it could respond.

The dream started out by someone attacking me and I thought as I started to fly this is a dream! I flew over large beautiful landscapes until I ended at a beach and its the middle of the night. I captured the person chasing me and put them in the alien ball thing to send them off out into space. I sent the person off and watch the white alien like ball dissapear in the night sky. A random DC pointed to the sky and said look how beautiful it is!

I looked up and there were fireworks this made me thinks of an old basic task of the month. This reminded me of the current TOTM! I looked around for a piece of coal and found one as soon as a thought about it. I picked up the piece of coal crushed it and picked out the diamond. I thought about how ophelia put her diamon in the light and decided to do the same.

When I put the diamond in the light the tips of fingers also started to turn into diamond. I thought this is pretty cool and decided to keep the diamond with me in my pocket since it was so awesome.(I know being attached to a dream diamond is kinda lame.) In this dream I decided to befriend as many DCs as possible because usually I don't trust me. I feel they could turn on me at any moment just because I have that thought. So I shoke the DCs hand and asked what is your name sir? He said bill. Nice to meet you bill I said. I started to walk and ran into my friend roberto.

He soon left to go fight someone. I really didn't do much at this point just walk around different dream scences until I woke up. I believe I went to a mall and a hotel.

Had a dream where loads of big cats were trying to get in my house like zombies would. Woke up and made myself go back to sleep to find out why they were attacking us. Eventually found out that it was because of a YouTube video I had watched which sent sound messages to big cats to attack. Heavy stuff this.
