    1. Broken things

      by , 01-08-2015 at 10:31 PM
      Recent dreams included a brief appearance from Bai Suzhen, and some good scenery - a trek along a lake covered in snow, watching fireworks in an amusement park.

      Today's:

      Sometime in the 1700s. Two women talking, one sitting in a chair, the other kneeling in front of her and holding her hands. The walls seem covered in gold and mirrors, with double doors in glass and a row of large windows opening onto the hallway. The windows shatter when I walk down the hall towards the doors - I'd only meant for the doors themselves to break. A cautionary sign. The woman who'd been in the chair is standing when I walk through the space where the doors used to be, shielding the other woman. She calls me Conte.

      Two kids, a girl and a boy, are playing a video game. The boy's character has just hit something in the throat with a lead pipe, and the boy has an odd sensation of experiencing the same thing - not pain, more like a memory of someone hitting him just like that, in the throat and then in the side. As a disembodied observer, I'm thinking that's a pity - even after we finally managed to create a peaceful timeline, the deaths from the other timelines are still affecting them.
    2. From heros to flying to a dreamsign I missed. (08/01/15)

      by , 01-08-2015 at 10:13 PM
      Well I done a wbtb, I tend to wake up naturally around the time I want to do a WILD it seems, because this is the 4th day in a row i've failed to WILD. Most of this dream lasts about 25 minutes in waking life.

      Back in my hometown I was walking with a buddy, smoking a cigarette, we go by an area that happens to be a rebel outpost. They stop us, inspect us, and then this guy takes my buddy and kills him and steals his loot. My buddy had a rare sniper rifle but only $10 on us. At this point The rebel. we're being attacked by the S.A.S It's hard to explain the layout of this area, but it's one very familiar to me since I lived in this area as a child. At this point the S.A.S were being pinned down by a a single machine bot turret, so we went into the garden slightly above us and hid behind concrete walls. Grenades started coming towards us and so we threw them back, well we tried, the ground was made of bed covers and the grenades were like stones, they were hidden the moment they came to us and we never really found them, but we assumed we threw them back. Apparently the S.A.S wanted revenge for my buddy they killed, but after being pinned down for awhile we were evac'd and all was well.

      They tokd me they were going back and that we were going to be a decoy to the leader, to keep him in that area whilst they set up about 400 machine bots on a roof that faces his location, they told me not to worry. I agree'd, and me and another S.A.S member walked out in full armour and told the leader he was arrested, but he laughed and shot me with a taser and kicked my legs from beneath me as I hit the ground. At this point about 7 S.A.S members had this small group at gunpoint, but the leader laughed again and apparently has a sniper on the roof in a cloack, but we showed them what we were really upto as we de-cloacked the 400 machine bot turrets. The leaders jaw dropped and we though we had won. As this became a national news event, before we could get the target away from the area, captured people started coming out of their houses and news crews quickly made their way to the scene, just in time for the 400 machine bot turrets to be hacked and start shooting everyone. Those who survived hid behind the houses, whilst the s.a.s tried to shoot back. Me and a good buddy of mine I know irl decided we would end this standoff, we made a hunch that these machine bots only really hoot if they recognise people, so if you act like something else they wont shoot. So we both squatted down knees almost close to our chest and started walking like weird penguins. Trying to make it across the gap, for some reason the news crew thought it was a good idea to film us, and during that time I saw myself in 3rd person, but it didn't really look like me, but it did. Me and my buddy called our group of two team hydra. As we got just under the building were the machines bots were stationed on the roof, one looked at us, I stood up and it began to shoot, this caused a chain reaction of something similar, but they accidently shot the roof below them as I ran as fast i could lengthways just under the building, causing a chain reaction explosion, me to lose my left arm and a beautiful female doctor to reattach it and hook up some blood line. I remember her reattaching the arm and blood circulating to it again, it felt like I could breathe again.

      The next thing I know i'm kneeling on a cheap weak-metalled chair, facing the back of the chair. I start sliding downhill on it, using a little panel to go left and right, I was going to an area where my mother's side grandparents lived and actively tried to avoid it, since we don't speak anymore, and there was a chance to run into my cousin, I should have realised since they don't live there anymore. I remember getting off my chair jumping between two buildings and hiding at the top of this wall like spiderman. Two kids saw me and asked me how I was doing that, as I was flying away. So I stopped and said, I can't really explain just now, I have to go, with a smile on my face. As I flew away the next thing i know shes grabbing my arm dangling from me saying "youre my eragon". Now I haven't seen movie or read the book, so I doubt it has anything to do with that irl, but thats what she said. This kid was fucking annoying, so I put her down and flew to my dream sign apartment. A bit of history about this apt, this apartment frequently appears in non lucid dreams that I have. The appartments are a place that exist in my hometown, if you can imagine towers for the apartments, the bottom 20% are garages, and outside the garages there are stairs that first run parralel to the garages and then turn 90 degree toward the garages but goes up. This takes you to a walk way 35% of the way up the tower, the walk ways grant you access to the apartments and the walkway interlocks between towers so you can walk from one to the other. I remember lots of dreams about this apartment, so maybe I will write up entries from previous dreams at a future date.

      Well I was flying above the walkway now going to my apt, what was usually a beat-up disgusting drug fueled walkway with a ton of damage to, everything. Was a well done up, summer looking area with benches and people sitting outside having fun, lots of bright colour. You can tell my inexperience here because I even said, this place must have changed for this to last even 5 minutes, rather than questioning my reality. Anyway, some girl said she wanted my jacket and i said no, only for a price. And she said, no, I will give you a blowjob for it. I said, that'll work. She proceeded to tell me how she tries that on World of warcraft but stuff but always gets refused. At that point I just woke up.

    3. Couldn't recall much

      by , 01-08-2015 at 10:02 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I remember only brief moments of the dream. I was looking at a dwarf, who was standing in the fortress, near the wall where vampire was closed. He was wearing grey cloak, and he was shouting.
    4. DJ#13: 4 long, loopy, vivid dreams

      by , 01-08-2015 at 08:52 PM (BlairBros' Adventures)
      Sleep Time: 8:45-9:00 PM Awake Times: ~2:00 AM, 4:00 AM and 6:00 AM
      REM Period 1:
      Length: Long Awareness: Minimal Vividness: Medium-High
      I was holidaying in America and my family and I were going to see a stage show featuring a Persian man (who was like one of my friends in school IWL ). I was driving a car into the carpark for the theatre and this weird green ute was sorta blocking me. Eventually he pulled over and I was able to pass him and find a park. We all went into the building, walked upstairs and went o find our seats. On the way there however the main performer came out and I had to squeeze past him. His voice and appearance was almost exactly like that friend I mentioned earlier. We found our seats and relaxed to watch the show. I think during the show our tour guide sat down next to us and asked us if we had found squirrel yet. I got a bit frustrated and asked him why we needed squirrels. He said "You need to wear squirrels on your head for at least 4 weeks to make sure there's no lice" and my mum said "You know this, come on". I was still a bit sus but I didn't get any awareness out of it or anything. I vaguely remember going to McDonalds or something like that.
      REM Period 2:
      Length: Medium Awareness: Minimal Vividness: Medium
      The dream started with me at a train station with wet clothes after skydiving of some sort into water earlier (or s my subconscious tells me). I catch the train and my brother is sitting at the other end of the carriage. The train trundles along and eventually ticket inspectors board the train. One comes up to me and I realise that I didn't have my Myki (ticket) on me, it must have fallen out during or after the skydiving. I angrily defended myself trying to explain that "I'd just been skydiving, it must have fallen out" but he explained I could pay a $70 fine now or pay $240 fine later, so I found 70 dollars in my bag and gave it to him. My brother and I then walked back home and I bought a new Myki, this one with a brown colour scheme rather than the normal green one. (Colours in dreams proven lol)

      Length: Long Awareness: Minimal Vividness: High
      Now this was an awesome dream. I was working as a very junior writer in a DreamViews style newspaper, doing little columns once a week, but I wanted to do more to help the community. So, I started secretly taking questions from the public about lucid dreaming and helping them out for my column. This came to the attention of my superiors, but instead of firing me like I feared they might I actually got promoted to the role of (Moderator equivalent). This way I could so what I had been doing as part of my regular job. I continued this way for a while, steadily improving and helping everyone I could, so I got promoted again to (Moderator Leader equivalent) and then finally up to Dream Guide, my goal position. Here I continue to take all the questions people have and try to help them, while also trying as hard as I can to curry favour with the Dream Guide Leader. I just rememebered this is all taking place on the street outside my house, with desks and chairs and little shelves set up, as well as a giant fish tank set up outside the Dream Guides section.
      I eventually feel as if i have done enough to advance position once again and I write an essay sorta thing hoping to convince the leader of my worthiness. He studies it for a long time and then accepts me, giving me some sage advice which I think I have promptly forgotten lol. Over time, after helping people and also judging several other employees whether they were fit to advance, I then work my way up again to Admin/Sub-Admin position. Here I was more so in charge of all the employees, but I still found time to help people. One such middle aged man with a young daughter I helped was almost crying after I helped him, yelling out "Bless you with all the vitamins! A, C, D, F, B12,-" "Don't forget B6!" I added, "Oh yes, and K, and B3, and E, and..." as he slowly walked away.
      REM Period 3:
      Length: Long Awareness: Weird, but sorta Minimal Vividness: High
      This dream started with me and a few other people on a sort of quest, a little bit mario style and little bit prince of persia style(idk), and I was in a desert sorta place. I remember we each had some sort of problem/defect with ourselves as a part of our quest. One of the others, Alex, had this great big brown tusk, about 5 feet long, sprouting from the left side of his mouth. It would apparently disappear over the next 3-4 days, but he was distressed by it. I remember standing at a sort of crossroads in teh desert and watching Alex fight with hsi tusk at a palace/castle in the distance. At this point I think I morphed into Alex's perspective on and off throughout the dream. I remember being at school on the last day and me, Alex, several friends and other random people went into the office after school and were chatting, then saw there was cake. We started eating it before a teacher came out and shooed us all away angrily. At this point Alex was walking home, and my awareness/dream self was following him, and as he got home he complained about how hard his life was with the tusk, and the grief other people caused him about it. A man I couldn't see replied, "If everything in life was easy, nothing would be worth doing". The dream started dissolving here.

      3 Non lucid odds

      1) At the shop. V Dull. Showing customer kilts.

      2) Walking down the street with my wife. I looked down and the crotch of my jeans was worn away to ribbons. I thought I could see my bits and bobs, but I had flesh covered underpants on for some reason....

      3) In a chippy. Someone I know IRL was putting in an order. What a time they were taking!

    6. The Bear On Two Feet/Trying To Talk With Manei

      by , 01-08-2015 at 06:13 PM
      I was in a room with my two brothers and my younger brother's friend W. We were inside a game where it was sort of like Minecraft. We had pets that were parrots. There was a red parrot that i wanted so i asked W "How do i get the red parrot?" W answered saying "You just have to take care of it really good so that it can grow to like you."I took the red bird and suddenly another guy came into the picture.He started talking about the gray parrot and the red one.

      The next thing I recall is that i appear in a huge building place that seems like as big as a stadium. There was lots of asian people around and it sparked my lucidity.
      The crowd began to sing a Japanese song for a guy who i think was the birthday guy. I started singing along with them because i wanted to observe how this would all go.At first i felt like my voice was too high while i was singing so i mellowed it down. In a way the song i was singing along to sounded like it could be the Japanese version of of a song I've heard in English but i forgot the tune now.

      When the song came to an end everyone started cheering. But than out of no where a guy shouted that I wasn't singing along."What are you talking about!? I was singing!" I told him. He just turned away after that and I walked to another corner of the room where I saw a guy standing on a girl that lay on the ground."Why are you standing on her?" I asked."Mind your own business! I can do whatever I want!" He said to me."Ok...If you want to stand on her go ahead. Its not my problem." I say. After that I was transported to a classroom where Tyra banks and others were sitting behind a desk.

      I walked around than heard the total drama Island announcer call my name. He challenged me to defeat a bear that was going to enter the room. When the bear came in it was standing on two feet. "Boo-Boo-Boo-Boo-Boom!"I say punching the cartoon like bear. The bear falls than turns into a piece of fur. The announcer says "Good job! Now all you have to do is get rid of the decomposed remains."I don't feel like doing it though so someone else gets rid of it.


      Trying To Talk With Manei

      I was inside a elevator going up. But where I wanted to go was down so i pressed the button to the 1st floor. It went down, than felt like it was moving to the right, than went down smoothly. I got out and started walking down a small stairs. "I just got out of a elevator and i'm now walking into a room i've never been to before....This must be a dream!"I say out loud happily. I remember that I want to summon Manei so i focus than call her name. The room i'm now in has a little boy sitting on a table, a little girl running around and the mom doing chores.I start to focus on Manei again.

      Now i'm in a bright white setting. I feel for Manei and sense her coming close to me.I touch her hand and ask if shes Manei. She says yes but than suddenly i feel her slowly going inside of me. "Noo!Not what i wanted!"I shout. Than other characters appear trying to go inside me but i don't let them. I'm now in the room again a little freaked out.I look around and now i see the mom is shirtless pouring water on herself. I turn to see the little girl running around the room happily."Are you Manei?"I ask."Yeah."She says smiling and playfully running around."Your Manei?"I ask again."Yeah!" she says."Okay, I believe you. You must be a little girl so you don't freak me out easily right?" I ask. But she doesn't answer that question.

      I try to ask her about the duel but than suddenly i feel something creep up behind me and now lots of creepy invisible people are trying to go inside me. It feels so real and its so vivid. One of them laughs saying "Shes gonna die!" I try to keep them out and it feels like i'm gonna explode. I start to pray because i feel overwhelmed by this fear of possession. I ask God to remove anything negative in the dream thats not suppose to be here. Cause all i wanted to see was Manei Jade's dream guide but my fear felt like it was too big for me.

      I than appeared in a room on a small bed where a little white boy with medium length wavy hair stood. Someone else was there and i started saying to myself "I need to relax..." The boy than started massaging my feet. I was like "Hes massaging my feet...No ones ever done that for me before but it feels nice!" I hug the cute little boy grateful than let him go. He starts to speak in a somewhat whispery voice. I look outside a small window and can see its nightime. There is a car in the front. I start to think of Tihiti and his lizard dream characters and want to see how funny it would be to see lizards talk again. "Can you make lizards appear?"I ask the boy."Yes" he says and suddenly two sort of fat dinasaur like lizards walk in onto the window sill. Each of them say"Hello" in a deep sort of british sounding voice. I say hi back.

      Than just as i'm thinking of stepping out or staying inside the boy says "Don't go outside." "Why?"I ask. "If you go outside you'll die" he says." Die!?What do you mean I'm going to die if i go out there?" I ask surprised." Its like this. It means that if you deviate from the right path....Oh wait. I forgot what i was going to say."he says. I look in front of me and now i'm standing near a white gate to a blurry city i think. I suddenly can feel the boy trying to go inside me. "Stop!I hate this!"I sort of take what seems like a ghost and swing it hitting it to the gate and it dissapears. I wake myself easily just by thinking about waking myself up.


      I have nothing against good dream characters i just hate when they try to go inside me.afyhgaurif6ic Its so annoying!OTL

    7. Holy Remains and Bulletproof Gorilla Costume

      by , 01-08-2015 at 02:56 PM
      Morning of January 8, 2015. Thursday.



      My family and I seem to be living back in Brisbane on Stadcor Street. The annoying neighbors are seemingly ones we have had more recently, though. I am looking at a magazine but sometimes seem to be more present at the actual location where the (mostly newer and in color) photographs were taken, but not with any interaction or acknowledgement of my presence by anyone in the photographs. At first, there are a few images of a younger nun looking at a mummified nun that had been placed near a doorway (to the right of it). It is in some sort of catacombs directly linked with or inside a larger church. Later on, there are platforms that display mummified bishops, cardinals, and popes. Many are well-preserved, but there is one where the back is arched and the head turned back at an odd angle with the mouth wide open. It is mentioned how some remains had not been maintained during certain time periods or within certain groups. Some bodies and heads are much more skeletal than others. This possibly represents my complete disinterest (since early childhood) in anything relative to churches or organized religion. Mummies and statues seem to have similar in-dream meanings, though oddly enough, statues have proven to be more likely to come to life than mummies. I think statues reflect stronger or more recent associations with potential of what they represent while mummies represent non-potential. In fact, one of my first better-documented lucid dreams as such (from age four) related to the statue of “The Thinker” coming to life (yet at the same time not wanting to be seen as such by the general public).

      Later on, there is some sort of frustration regarding the neighbors, but it is not clear. I end up with some sort of gorilla costume, which I wear at first to protect myself from their antics. This in fact does not seem that logical in afterthought - as one wearing a gorilla costume would be far more conspicuous. However, the costume also has some sort of advanced internal technology which also makes the suit bulletproof. This bulletproof nature seems based on some sort of redirection using advanced technology. Apparently there is an active invisible layer around the suit that instantly detects proximity of any kind, which also instantly reverses any projectile - perhaps based on some sort of magnetic inversion in some sort of field around every point on the suit, though works on any kind of threat including nonmetallic. I do not have to do anything as it is automatic.

      Eventually, there are military officials involved. Some who shoot at me are victims of their own weapons when the bullets redirect back to them. I am more annoyed at being followed around, including down an alley in town, than being shot at. Even a rocket launcher is ready to be used on me, but there is no effect. In fact, the bigger the weapon, the sooner it redirects. Thus, the rocket explodes as soon as it leaves the launcher when it is fairly far away from me in the alley (and on the opposite side). This seems to vaguely remind me of some sort of physics law relative to gravity. The men following me mostly only appear in groups of two or three at a time.

      I am vaguely remembering that if I find the portal to the Pascal-triangle-like phasing of reality (related to the “event horizon” of reality) I can then be invisible to all but the most intelligent members of human society, though invisible to all depending on how far I go.

    8. LD#154: once in a two moon

      by , 01-08-2015 at 02:16 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I was playing with legos. Somehow or other I had legend of Korra lego figures and I had made a spaceship that all of the main characters could ride around in. I was doing that thing that you always see kids doing with Lego spaceships where they spin in circles and run around making laser gun sounds for no other reason than it could be done. I was really enjoying myself as well.

      I was playing outside at night for some reason. I believe it was summer.

      Just then I stopped. I noticed that the moon seemed to look strange.
      It seemed like there were no craters and the whole thing was just flat gray maria. My view seemed to zoom in on the moon. It came back to me, and I thought of how strange it was. Then I noticed that there was a second larger moon right next to it.

      I thought for a second about what that might mean and realized that extra celestial bodies was a common dream sign.
      I preformed the nose pinch. Dreamin', baby! I had good lucidity too.

      I looked up at the night sky. It was a clear night with no clouds. I thought about the stars for a few moments. There was a very bright one (might have been a planet) right above me.

      I realized that I might want to try and stabilize the dream, seeing as I've been losing my lucid dreams a lot this past week or so. So my first priority was to get daylight. I tried my old trick of swiping the sky like an Iphone screen, but it didn't work. I tried swiping it the other direction and it still didn't work. I tried swiping it north-south (though this makes no sense) the sun came up directly south relative to my house.

      Just then the dream started to destabilize. I laid down on the grass and grabbed onto it with both hands. "I will not lose the dream, I will not lose the dream, I will not lose the dream, I will not lose the dream, I will not lose the dream!" I began to feel like I was spinning. A golden light passed over me, and I phased through a number of blurry environments but retained the grassy bed below me.

      I got up and pulled up the grass. I put it in my mouth to try to stimulate taste or maybe hold onto the dream a little longer, but it tasted like having metal shards in my mouth. I spit it out to see that the grass was in fact a bunch of small X-acto blades.

      I looked around. I was in a perfectly flat meadow. All around me were equally sized and spaced tombstones. They were huge, about ten or twelve feet tall, and they didn't have any writing on them. And they were all on forty-five degree angles leaning toward a huge tree that the sunlight shone through. There were a couple of clouds in the sky.

      I began to feel Manei was somewhere in the dream. I felt like I should focus on her, bring her forward, but the dream was slipping quickly.

      "I want to know why the dream is so unstable!"

      I began to lose the dream again, and let it slide this time. There really was no point if it was going to fight me this hard. I did my best to hang on to staring at the huge tree.

    9. Car Crash (minor)

      by , 01-08-2015 at 02:09 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      I'm driving my mom's car for the first time in a while, and am having a grand old time doing 360s on the snowy road, while avoiding crashing into the other traffic on the road. I turn up a hill to my right and the back end of the car whips around half way, I turn the wheel the other direction, slam it in reverse and put the pedal to the floor, causing the car to do 2 complete spins. I'm heading toward a big snow bank, so I turn the wheel the other way and keep the pedal to the floor. The car starts going back down the hill toward the road. It's really slippery, so I start turning about a hundred feet before the road. Sliding sideways pretty fast now, I keep my foot on the gas and power slide out into the main road. Another car is coming the opposite direction. I do some fancy maneuvering with the steering wheel to get out of the power slide and just barely avoid the oncoming car. Close call there. Now on the main road, I'm just driving normally. Another car comes, but it is really straddling the center line. I move over to avoid it, but it's too far on my side. I spin my car sideways to avoid a head on collision, and just tap the front headlight of the other car with the rear bumper of mine. I pull over into the nearby store to see if the other car is damaged or not. She has already pulled in, and the store owner and her are looking at the car. I get out, turn the car off, and walk up, seeing a bunch of fluid pouring out of the other car. It looks like radiator fluid. At least it's coming out of the radiator, it really looks just like water. The store owner says, "You might want to add some oil or antifreeze to it." The other driver looks at her, gets a really upset look on her face and yells back, "Really?!? Obviously I'll have to add more coolant to it! How could I not?" I notice a pipe has come completely loose. If that pipe could just be welded back on, she'd be good to go. I think about possible repair costs and mechanic labor. Looking at the pipe again, a new pipe might not be that expensive, it's a straight tube going between two fittings. So one pipe, one fitting, and an hour tops to weld it, can't be much more than $200. I'm relieved that it won't be very expensive because I'm broke. Although it's really ironic that I didn't crash at all while messing around, but only when I started to drive safely that something happened...
    10. Dying in a Dream, On my way to Hell now

      by , 01-08-2015 at 01:56 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      In a group of people, we are all taken prisoner. Our captors try to get me to give out information to help them capture and kill more people, but I refuse. They threaten to kill me if I don't tell them. I think that's a good reason to die. I get pushed down to the ground, and they threaten me again. I close my eyes and go to my happy place. I hear machine gun fire, and feel bullets ripping through my flesh. My shoulders, arms, legs and torso are all hit repeatedly, and I can tell the bullets pass right through me. I'm in shock. I can't open my eyes. I don't want to open my eyes. My visual awareness starts to swirl together and then get all whispy. Although my eyes are closed, even the glittering blackness begins to fade. Then I see horrible faces all around, like dark gray demons scowling and growling at me with menacing faces. I don't feel that I have a body anymore, just a consciousness. I generate my best mind of Love for all the demons, but it's pretty clear that regardless of what I do, I'm going to a very bad place right now. I pray for help, confident that no matter how late, there's always help to be had if I'm open to it and want it. The demons fade into a dark gray for a bit and then come back. This definitely feels like dying. It also feels like I'm going to hell or something like that, but I'm not terrified. I'm a little bummed out because I don't think I'll like it, but I think it's worth it to help everyone. With what seems like my last moment of this stream of consciousness, I sincerely pray for everyone to attain enlightenment. Suddenly it all seems hilarious. I get a few brief visions of Vajrayogini smiling at me. Then I wake up.

      *Two* holiday parties tonight, lots of sweets, wine, champagne, cake. To bed around 2-3am? Don't feel particularly buzzed but wake up with a small hangover feeling. Lots more dreaming than listed here, a number of the scenes around the school (karate, girl shorts, menu item) faded away.

      Looking forward to the end of the festivities and getting back to a solid schedule! Still several more days to go.

      + huge tarantula / crab spider catches a big fly in my parent's living room, I'm terrified/fascinated

      I'm walking from the living room to the dining room towards the kitchen in my parent's house, and I stop in my tracks because I see a rather large fluffy fly just sort of floating there in the air, I look closer and see it's caught in a spider web that stretches in a line along the path I'm walking. I think at first I should just swipe it down but think then that I should let the spider eat it. I look and see another insect, like a large wasp, to the right of the fly about 6 inches, also caught in a web. Then I think about the spider and I see it down a long tube of web, it moves to pick up the fly. The spider is *really* large and freaky looking, like a fist-sized tarantula, how'd a tarantula get here? I never really get a good look at it but I see what looks like a large crab's claw on the front. I call to my wife to let her know about this several times, I keep looking at the spider to get a better look.

      + karate class, where's my yellow belt?

      Walking towards P.E. class, it's a karate class. There are other students around me, seems like a college class. I'm wearing my white ghi and so are the other students, you're supposed to come wearing the belt you achieved from previous karate classes. I look down and see I'm wearing a belt, too, but it's a white belt. Where's my yellow belt? I earned in in that class I took long ago. Should I go and get it? Will we have to demonstrate the "moves" we learned when we earned the belt?

      All the students are now arranging themselves in rows and columns on a large outdoor field, standing on large white plastic tarps, about 2 students per tarp, I'm towards the back and there's a guy to the front of me, I am remembering punches, blocks, and kicks, and perform them. The kicks are supposed to have a nice "snap" to them, and I do a nice snappy front kick. I try some side kicks but I can't quite achieve the "snappiness" that I want to.

      I sort of have to go to the bathroom. The field is along a fairly busy street to the left, and across the street is a gas station, will I have time to run there and get back before class starts?

      Class starts and someone introduces the teachers, they're fairly well-known, I see them moving into view, they're sort of short and dark/hairy.

      + following the girl who's shorts are way down in back

      I'm walking along and come upon a girl who's also walking and my eye is caught by the fact that her butt is fairly exposed, so I fall into line behind her and follow her and enjoy the view. We go up some stairs, and reach some branches in the path and I keep on behind her, I notice that this is actually the way I wanted to go so she shouldn't be freaked out but I don't want to be too creepy so I decide at one point to stop following her. I notice her short shorts are rolled up in a bunch and really showing off her behind nicely.

      + the menu for today reads "noodles here"

      There is a folder, I reach inside it for the menu plan for the week, and pull it out. There are lots of words (that seem fairly clear/easy to read), today's item is "noodles heure".

      + trying to enter the forbidden area on a powered scooter/sled

      There's a fence and there's a higher obstacle. The obstacle is specially designed to be 4 inches higher than the scooter/sled thing can jump. I think about trying to get in anyway but there are probably guards.

      + messing with the guy watering my parents' front yard

      Turn on and off the water and the electricity, the flow of water out of the hose stops and starts. I turn off the electricity thinking that shouldn't affect the hose, but realize there's a pump attached to the hose so it does indeed turn off the water, I turn it back on.

    13. Ambiguous RCs and False Memories (NLD)

      by , 01-08-2015 at 04:38 AM
      I was stressed about work. How am I going to complete all the obligations piling up this month, which is already getting shorter? I figured it would be best to prioritize. I should be able to finish the map in an afternoon if I get the right materials together. I thought about what I would need to finish it, and came up with vellum and archival paper. Fortunately I knew I already had these somewhere and was pretty sure where I had last put them, in a box in the storage area. I could see it in my mind's eye. I had woken up early and wanted to go retrieve them, but the rest of my family was still asleep.

      My mother, brother, and father were all staying with me in the house and I didn't want to disturb them by walking through the building and rummaging around in boxes. I decided to go outside for a walk instead. I walked down the stairs, which were littered with all the discarded santa masks. This struck me as odd at first, but I reasoned we must have had a holiday party yesterday.

      Outside it felt like early morning, and there was a narrow stream of clear water nearby. Next to the stream was a small building of naturally weathered wood, a sort of shed. Just after I entered it, it occurred to me that even though I know I'm awake, I should practice some RCs to instill good habits. No one else was around and there was no reason not to do a blatant one, so I jumped. Yes, just as I thought, it's obvious I'm awake, because that felt perfectly normal. But just for good measure I should do it a few more times in order to internalize the feeling of what a proper jump feels like in waking life.

      So I jumped in the air several times in succession, concentrating on that critical moment at the apex, when the upward motion reverses and gravity takes over. I knew that I would be able to tell if I were dreaming because the timing would be off, that moment would feel drawn out slightly, extended. Hmmm.... it isn't, is it? Was that a touch of hesitation at the top? No, I'm pretty sure this is natural. I've just never concentrated on it sufficiently before, my attention is making it seem more pronounced.

      And yet... it does seem a trifle too long. Could it be...? What if...? I had just begun to seriously consider the possibility that I might be dreaming after all, when I woke up in bed. Only very slowly did I come back to myself and realize that all the things I had taken as evidence that I was awake were wrong or askew, signs of false memory. The building and surroundings that seemed so familiar at the time were pure dream space, unlike any place I know in waking life. It made sense at the time that my whole family was there, but the only accurate part is that I'm currently sharing a hotel room with my mother. The anxiety about work is real enough, but it was only well after I had written down my initial notes that I realized that in the dream I had felt responsible for an additional project that didn't exist in WL, in addition to the real ones. Finally, as I initially lay in bed reviewing the dream, I didn't even notice how I slipped back briefly from genuine waking into an FA, and briefly found myself another place entirely, which only transitioned again to lying back in bed once I reached the point where I felt I had enough grasp of the memory to get up and write.

      I was in my father room and became lucid when going up against a man. He was extremely small and had found himself trap between my fingers. Another person watching, ask me how long I could stay lucid. I told him usually not long. I continue to say that it could be longer if I didn't have to put a lot of focus during the meditation. He then said oh and smirk about how well I had been handling my opponent. I then suggested to the guy that I will gain lucidity again before waking up. I didn't enjoy how low the quality has been in this dream.

      The guy who had been trap between my fingers escape with only his head alone. He had a sadistic smile but I could tell he could do no harm at all. I pick him up and slam his head on the bed in order to make him unconscious. He however regain consciousness and soon began laughing. He also has long hair so I grab it and it and started spiraling his head around, till I toss his head to a wall. This time he became unconscious. I could hear one guy yelling at me about what has happened. I close the door and became non-lucid.

      I walk up the stairs and saw my brother and mom. Then I saw another guy who had my name on his shirt. My brother told me he and I had the same name. We debated about whether it was partially spelt different or was it the same. I got a closer look and confirmed to everyone that it was my name. Then we all got in to the car with our father to go to a store. As the car was moving, I notice a man running while on the driving lane. I laugh because he became his own car since he was very fast. My father notice this guy and decided to park next to him.

      We all got off and combine down a broken stair way. I then leap a huge drop but landed on another stair. I had to jump one more time which almost made me land on another person. After getting all the way down I started wandering off in till my father told me it's this way as he pointed to the far north. I turn my head and realize it was done. As the sensation occurred, I transported myself in to father room and became lucid. The lights were off, I began to try to get up from the bed however I started feeling sharp pain all over my body.

      I then waited to adjust and got off from the bed. I went over to the lights while saying I am aware that I am in a dream. I attempted to turn on the lights but it did not work. I then open the front door but heard a loud screeching yell and closed it for now. When I close the door it echo around the room almost as if I slam it. I went over to one of the windows and notice the house was high up in the skies. I then lunge up on the bed and look at what was inside the top bunk bed. However I found nothing strange. I went over to the front door and open it.

      I enter the living room and saw there was a huge poster picture of a city in the afternoon. I proceeded to the kitchen and then to the back door. I open it but for a second the door would not budge any further. After managing to open the door I notice the house outside look much more older as if I was in the early 1900's. It seem to be a bright morning and I saw a trail I could begin following. As I kept going to the high fields I reminded myself that I am in a dream. I drop the two items that I notice have been in my hands this entire time. I turn back around and felt this immediate response that I will wake up. The entire place froze and I woke up. Lucidity Time: 6 minutes.
