Last night's dreams were the first I've remembered in a long time. I wasn't lucid, but its a definite start. The first dream I had was about a bunch of guys literally just sitting in these tubs filled with blood. One of the guys was Hannibal for some reason. I'm unsure as to what was going on, but I know the entire setting was definitely... strange. I got the feeling that someone had killed somebody... or multiple somebodies, to accumulate all this blood just so they could bathe in it. I was pretty calm throughout this dream, for whatever reason. In my second dream, I was outside with my step father, taking pictures of snow in the mountains. For the record, even though I live in NY, its not snowing yet. But in my dream it was. It was just a dusting of snow, and I was pointing it out to my step dad, and he was more than slightly irritated with the thought of winter coming so early...
23:58 pre-bedtime. 1mg melatonin, 1 heaping scoop UYM protein powder AAB mix day review, set intention for dream recall and lucid dreaming. Hard to concentrate, very tired from lack of sleep from last night, day review frequently shifts to daydreaming about scenarios arising from the memory scenes 00:00 Friday 2014-08-15 00:18 bedtime remee off 09:27 some wakings in late morning, going back to sleep dream recall slooooooooow coming in, took a lot of time and continued probing to get these 4 scenes + frag, there was a (not very strong) sense of more + the swimming pool is arranged so that every lap you finish you must shift over to the next lane in order to swim the next lap, this is so the instructors can better track everyone's progress and jump into the correct lane to work with someone (see the instructor leap in) + at work there is a guy writing a novel, it's not finished, I get the manuscript and I'm going to look it over, there are some questionable pictures in there so I don't want to show it to my wife +(f) something about work + the plane suddenly is redirected to the Philippines, WTF, why are we going there now? There must be something wrong with the plane, Oh God we're going to crash, I see the approach to a crash landing in the ocean repeat several times, we land miraculously on dry land on a long dirt strip in a park, the plane load of people is shuffling around and will be hosted in some room where a party is already going on + I'm playing 3rd French Horn in an orchestra, I'm trying out several different mouth pieces with different intonations, the section leader is not pleased with my playing, I run through a series of notes both with and without changing the fingering valves, including some very low notes that sound like a tuba, I look over to the tuba section to see what they think of this
A nightmare involving a creature called the Sandman whose facial features are fluid, constantly slowly changing; and then a false awakening in which the Sandman creature is approaching my POV character's bed. (Woke up. Back to sleep.) I'm walking around the grounds of a mansion where I've been staying. Talking to someone, he's looking at something behind me and says, "Look at that, straight out of a painting." I turn around to look. The sky in the distance is yellow-tinged and nearly completely covered by these two dark slabs of storm clouds, like solid walls. The opening between them makes me think of the parting of the seas. The water beneath those clouds is being tossed up in such a way that it's revealed an old and famous shipwreck, it's been pulled out of the depths. Another ship, a modern one, is thrown out of the sea by the winds, and it crashes straight through one of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion. (A false awakening mostly about trying to describe that last scene, then actually woke up. Back to sleep.) I'm looking after an enormous, shaggy black 'dog' - more like an enormous wolf - that belongs to my neighbor. Most of the dream revolves around playing with him and petting him. When I go to feed him, his water is kept in a intricately curved copper tube, almost like a French horn.
Some of these thing may be nonsense but this is a dream right? I was in a room with students. The teacher was talking about like computer 'Plugins'. For no reason, I had done a RC and realized I was dreaming. It felt awesome to be able to breath to your nose so I continued doing it. I looked down at my hand and saw my hand slowly deforming. My fingers split and fused together. It even completly vanished, appearing a few seconds later. I stopped listening to the teacher and walked away from the group of people. I went into the room next room. It was very very huge. Like a sports hall. But oddly there was also a huge hole in the shape of the room on the ground. (Imagine a rectangle. In rectangle is a smaller rectangle. Hollow the part where the small rectangle is. Then, build a room.) On the right wall, I saw another teacher. But the student's had all lined up in a line. The teacher was explaining something to them. I walked next to him and said to the students: 'Look at me. Let's see if you'll recognize me!'. I jumped and whispered to myself 'I want to shapeshift into my school principal!'. I guess I did. A woman age 40 said: 'You are the school pricipal. You want me to get lucid and be able to my dream. You want for me to control my dream'. I said 'Yeah, that's what I want'. The rooms I was talking about in my dream were like 1m x 1m light grey tiles with a darker grayish surrounding. Then, I woke up. It was very awesome to get my first LD and so concious and real. I woke up at 09:48 and started writing at 09:49. Thank you for this forum to keep my moral up. Sincerely; Hackfleisch

August 14, 2014 (part 2) Premonition So, around noon, when we were driving to a fossil dig site to find some fishies, I suddenly remembered what may have been a dream: I was in the car with my brothers and dad, and we were turning onto a portion of road that has been closed until this day of our vacation here in Utah. We drove up the hilly road, over a mountain. I remember it being fairly steep, and winding and there was a rock wall on our right, and a ledge with a few small trees to our left. I remembered the curvature of the road and the imagery very vividly... Which is what made me ask, in the car today, "Did we take N. O. Pass yet or did I dream that...?" "You dreamt it, Kestrel." "Oh." Later today, we drove on the road, going the other direction. Even going the opposite way, I could tell... it was basically exactly as it had been in my dream. A few curves were slightly different, but the steepness and the landmarks were exactly the same. I have never been on this road. It's been closed the whole time we were here, until today. This was such a surreal experience for me, and I had to RC a few times in the car because it was the same as my dream.
August 14, 2014 I Shall be so Late! I was a few days into my Fall Placement, and I was super late for my class. School starts at 8:45, so I have to be there at least by 8:00 to help my mentor teacher set up the classroom and get ready for the students; but I didn't get there until 9:00, and came in partway during the first day of class. My MT was super nice but disappointed and said she really needed to have me in the class earlier. I was late the next day as well. And the next. My MT was getting angry with me, and said that if I was late one more day she would find a different intern and I would fail my fall placement. I was scared, so I stayed out until it was dark, drinking. I wasn't DRUNK drunk, but I was tipsy, and waiting for a bus. I felt like I was in Germany again but I know I wasn't. I accidentally got on the 4 bus, when I need the 2 line. I got off at the next stop, which wasn't too far away from a stop the 2 line goes to, but the neighborhood was sketchy, and there was a large park on the other side of the road, mostly pitch-black except for a small lit portion near a street lamp. there were three figures under the light, and they started walking toward me. I saw the bus coming, thank goodness, and got on the bus. I thanked the driver, but he was confused. Car Race I was in a car race, which had a scavenger hunt type event at the very end. I met a guy during the race, and he said that I was an important person in his quest to save the world, or something. Okay maybe it wasn't saving the world. He was writing a song for his son, who had just died at only 6 months old. The lyrics were profoundly inspiring in the dream, but I can't remember them now. I remember that he had written this song when his son was born, but the lyrics fit for his death as well, with the addition of a simple "goodbye." He needed my voice and the voices of people in a choir I was part of. We were supposed to sing it. And it was so beautiful, and so filled with love, but also so melancholy and full of mourning.
August 13, 2014 Who Are You? I was walking through the halls of my high school, and bumped into an old classmate of mine. He didn't recognize me or remember me at all. He was all, "Who are you?" when he saw me. I walked around some more, and bumped into him again, but again he didn't recognize me or a remember anything about me. Food I was with Zukin and one of her guy friends, who I'll call S. We were getting food.
DREAM 1 I'm standing next to a bed in an expensive looking apartment. I'm talking to Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta (both UFC affiliated). We're looking at UFC playing cards. They look pretty cool and a bit bigger than your average playing card. Lorenzo shows me a deck which has a fuck up in it. It's showing Vitor Belfort and Ben Rothwell at the weigh ins, giving their stare down before the fights the next day (Strange considering Ben is Heavyweight and Vitor is Middleweight/Light Heavyweight). Dana's kids run in the room and soon realize I was giving the deck because they kid had 2 of the same and didn't need it. I look on the floor and notice a deck of cards still in its pack. We're standing in a kitchen and I tell Dana and Lorenzo I'm surprised no ones brought this up in the MMA forums, which is "do you only watch normal wrestling or do you watch all forms including the hardcore matches where they use chairs etc". Lorenzo says he does watch both. DREAM 2 - 9:50AM I'm watching people cook on a cooking show. It's the master chef format. One of the contestants which had already been knocked out or was from a previous season is demonstrating a dish. She puts a pad at the bottom of a potato for some reason. She gives another demonstration which involves potatoes again. This time she is using the plastic which holds a six pack of cans together. She calls it a strange name. I see potato that is hanging from the plastic as she pulls it up. She seems a little shaky as if she is a bit nervous and tends to be a little clumsy. DREAM FRAGMENTS:: I'm watching a porn scene. A man has a couple pumps and finishes. I think it's odd and rewind it. I realize it was towards end anyways, so I watch it from the start. The man looks young and not the type of guy that does porn. He has a abnormally sized penis, which looks very blurry. He places it inside the women slowly. SIDE NOTES: Couldn't get to sleep until late and had a horrible sleep. Affirmations were not working this morning, was too tired.
I went to bed reminding myself that I would remember my dreams with some success. I just remember I was somewhere I didn't recognize and there were people around. I remember someone saying my name saying "that is *my name* and some other name's thing or stuff... I remember seeing a small box with stuff in it. I possibly remember a chess piece or some other item they were referring to...
[My second entry of the series of dreams of "Lin"] I was in the phantasmic portal and I somehow spun myself into a scene of a house. I searched for Lin and found her sitting on a chair in a room in blankets. She seemed irritated and tired for some reason. I asked her on a date and she said yes. She sort of just fell asleep after that. I was amazed by the clarity of the dream again, looking around, noticing the color of her eyes and immersing myself in the dream. I was surprised to have time left over to actually sit and think about the experience while sitting next to her. I forgot to ask where we should go unfortunately. Note: I thought the meditation wasn't working at all until the next thing I knew, I was just there. Like just waking up in the phantasmic portal.
