Go to sleep!

The dream took place late at night at my house. I was sitting on my laptop doing who knows what (Maybe I was on dreamviews?), when my father passed by the table. He appeared angry with me and wanted me to go to sleep so I wouldn't be tired tomorrow. I continued to use it when suddenly the scenery changed and I was on this roof looking at the night sky in a city that seemed to be Las Vegas. There was no one around me and I just continued what I was doing without questioning it. Fast forward a couple of hours and it was past midnight. The location changed back to my house and my father came back towards me. Angry, he started walking to me when suddenly he turned back to sit on the couch. He seemed to be talking to some person I "sensed" was a lady, though I couldn't see her from my position. I then woke up, and tried to take time to recall the dream but could not remember some details. It's funny how this dream occured, because last night I did stay up late and my father was angry with me :S.

Realized I've been using some weird technique to go back to sleep when I wake up. Realized that because it failed last night.

I assume I was painting with a smudge brush in my dream, and when I woke, I was still doing the same thing. I tried to paint my blankets, but the brush stroke was too short, not enough momentum, and I woke up. Not sure what else I could have used for a longer mental runway.

I was stuck on my bed and couldn't move. I heard a person moving around the hallway and thought it was my father. But I didn't want to wait to see who it was and tried to break loose. I couldn't though so i lay down and started calling for Dawn. I managed to break free and walked to the next room. I thought I found Dawn but didn't. It turned out to be a dc that kept changing forms. I was annoyed and was like " Pick one already!".

The next thing that happened after I walked away is that I entered another room with a boy who than showed me a group of dancing and singing Japanese men. They looked very colorful and bright. I found it odd and than the purple hair guy turned into a British man who started complaining about a little girl touching his hair. After that a boy that was present told me we have to go back in time.

I wasn't interested in going back in time though and started walking fast trying to find Dawn. The room's lights began fading. So I tried jumping to reach the light i saw. For some reason unknown to me I started singing something that came to my mind as i thought of healing light. "The little mulberry tree~" I kept saying it, ended up outside and was flying as i thought of Dawn. Suddenly a DC ran up to me and handed me a CD. The picture of the CD showed a girl laying on a dimly lit floor,dead?,with red rose petal spread out around. "Are you saying this is supposed to happen to me!?" I asked the dc. But it ran away.

After that i tried flying away but a girl and her father tried shooting me.I tried summoning a pink barrier but it wasn't working so i just stood against the wall wondering what would happen.

After that i woke up than went back to sleep and ended up having the dream below.

I appeared in a house that looked somewhat like my house. There were four girls and a mother present. As i was looking at children books the mom and the daughter were arguing until the daughter made a rude remark. The mother ran to her bed and was crying near another lady. Suddenly the mom said she had enough and pulled out a long silver blade with no hold. I took it away slowly and told her to calm down.

I than flew to the living room and saw that outside were girls with guns and knives. They told the other girls to open the door so that they could shoot them. I decided this was a waste of dream time and flew through the corner of the house than flew away. One of the girls managed to catch up to me though and asked me where i thought i was going. I said "I'm just flying away." casually. Than the girl said "Oh.Ok" let me go, than left. I woke up after that.

I recall only brief moments. It was a continuation of The Road to Nowhere dream. I recall walking on the roadside. The old sailor stopped and ate raspberries, while I turned left and went for the mountains. I slowly climbed up, and woke up before reaching the peak.

We are coming up on 550 DJ entries, my goodness.

That said. I know WBTB works, particularly because I usually (like I did last night) seem to WBTB twice, meaning that I have three chances to become lucid rather than one. (Once before the first awakening, once after the first awakening, and once after my second awakening.) I've just got to figure out ways of making it a very reliable technique. I'll make a list of factors (bedtime, food, mantras, etc) and maybe experiment with slightly different variations to see what produces the best results.


So the first dream was very odd. I was working with my parents and other people from our subdivision to plant rows of pine trees. This is because (IWL) our neighborhood is next to the clean water plant and when the winds are blowing the right way, our whole neighborhood can start smelling like a middle school bathroom. They said that they wanted pine trees because they were the best at catching the smell. I thought it was odd because I couldn't smell the clean water plant at all.

...

I became lucid and left everybody. It felt like we were in an orchard now, we had planted so many trees. I felt like doing a lucid dare even though I made those a lower priority now. I had a false memory that I had a lucid dare/totm to fly to the moon, that of I had falsely remembered that I was meeting there with DawnEye11. Or I remembered a previous LD where I had tried to fly to the moon and failed.

Flames on, we're flying! I looked down and saw that I was about fifty feet off the ground. All of the DCs stopped working on planting trees and stared up at me in amazement/confusion, asking how I was flying. You know, i'll be honest. It's starting to get old.

I looked up at the moon. I knew with my standard flying technique it would take me all night to fly to the moon. I had to cheat. So I looked up in the sky and imagined the moon coming closer. At first it didn't work, but then the blue sky turned black and the moon started to fill up my vision. I regained control. I was flying at hyperspeed through space.

The moon was coming up quick. I went around the dark side, sweeping low across the terrain. So low that I kicked up a bunch of moon dust and made a trail across the surface. I made a complete orbit and came around the dark side again, this time pulling 'up' twoard the north pole. There was a big flat crater here that looked like a good place to land.

I halted my velocity and thought to move down toward the surface only to go flying at the surface at some absurd speed. I had to quickly freeze myself again. I was only a couple miles above the surface now. It was also now that I noticed that the moon was kind of a beige/sandy color rather than grey.

Okay, I need to descend slowly! Just like in KSP landing on the moon is a delicate art...

I shot back down at hyperspeed, even faster than before. Everything went dark for a second and I heard rock and dust exploding. I stood up and I had made a fifty foot wide crater for myself. I'm so lucky that I am invincible. I still remember shouting something profane when I hit the moon though.

I decided I wanted to look up in the sky and see earth. But when I looked up at the direction I had came from, I didn't just see earth. I saw ALL the planets. They were all in a straight horizontal row, about moon sized in the sky. Some were a little bit bigger than others.

"Mercury... Venus... Earth... Mars... Jupiter... Saturn.. Uranus... Neptune... even Pluto!"

I started bouncing around in the gravity of the moon. Kudos to the dream for getting the gravity right. Even though I don't think I was wearing a space suit...

I then saw a plastic container full of art supplies, things like colored pencils, pastels, paints, etc. I remember thinking "How did that get here?" I tried to pick it up and examine it. It seemed like it was attached to the ground. I couldn't pull it up, but I could push it down given enough force.

I continued walking around. The beige/sandy color of the moon was beginning to shift to red, and I was starting to get a mars vibe. I saw a small canyon, that it looked like water had run through at one point. There was an Easter basket with a card on it.

"To: Jade (this seems to have become my dream name...)
From: Stanley (for some reason I read it Stan Lee, like the guy from Marvel comics.)

I know it's a little late, but happy Easter. Hint: This basket weighs a lot."

Some how or other I picked up on the idea that this was like the cube from portal and I had to put it on the art supply case (button), so I did that. I heard a door open somewhere and saw a tiny trapdoor about halfway between the button and the spot where I found the basket. It looked like it carried on underground with a metal slide.

I wasn't sure how I was supposed to fit down there. I tried sticking one leg down the door and figured maybe some weird dream logic would take over and pull me down. But it didn't.

I tried to shrink myself, and I think it worked. I shrunk to about two feet tall, and at that point I fell down the slide into an underground facility. For some reason, the slide split into three. The slide on the right went to a shredder. The slide on the middle went to a sewing machine. The slide on the right would drop me into a bin full of newspapers. I tried to lean to the right but ended up going down the middle.

I came to the sewing machine. It was motion activated and a robot arm came out and tried to stitch me together, but I pushed it away as best I could. But when I got off at the end of the slide, my leg was full of stitches and bleeding everywhere. It didn't hurt though.

The room had an office feel to it. There were filing cabinets and in the middle, this big machine. For some reason I assumed it was for making comic books since the tag on the Easter basket read Stan Lee. A man in an office chair was facing a desk. He turned around. He had short black hair and looked to be about 40 years old.

"I am Rick Lee. Do you want to know the answer to life's greatest mystery?"

"Um... yeah... I'm bleeding a lot, do you have a bandage? What is life's greatest mystery, anyway?" I guess my lucidity and therefore my invincibility were wearing off...

"I know what Master Chief's face looks like! Here let me show you..."

I woke up.

-WBTB-

I had an oversize zit (on my tooth...?) that I had to pop. It exploded with enough force to knock me over. I'm going to skip over the details because... this dream was really disgusting.

Something to do with playing this game with people in my neighborhood. Both kids and adults were throwing these hackney sacks at each other for fun.

I was semi lucid and for some reason my stomach kept growling. I got impatient and yelled "Shut up, I can eat when I wake up!"

-WBTB-

I was pulled over by the side of the road. I recognized the area as part of my route to college. I had taken a barbecue grill out of my car and was grilling hamburgers for myself while I worked on my final project for my drawing class.

A squal blew in pretty quickly. I grabbed my drawing project and put it in the back seat of my car. I heard thunder and it had already started to rain. I knew I would have to come back for the grill.

...

I somehow found myself driving across someone's front lawn, knocking over their porch, fences, some small trees. I was semi lucid so I didn't really care. I got out of the car and had somehow transitioned to a plaza in the middle of a city.

I became fully lucid. I think I did a nose pinch RC just to confirm. I remembered my #1 priority dream goal. I knew I had to manifest her to figure out where to start.

"Manei, Kuansen Axio Sosunbulee. Alright she should show up any second now..."

I looked around and saw my parents appear. IWL they have been in LA all week, and they were happy to see me. I then saw my dead grandmother as well. For some reason she had ashes on one side of her face. This might have been a reference to the fact that she was cremated. I waved to her and she smiled and waved back.

Where is Manei...?

The dream faded to black and the scene changed. It was nighttime. I was standing on the surface of a lake. There were outlines of trees all around. The sky above was a bluish green nebula full of really bright stars. But, reflected on the lake it was a reddish-brown nebula, also full of really bright stars.

It took me a second to make her out, but I could see Manei. There were really interesting lighting conditions, she was lighted red from the bottom and blue on the top.

"So what's this about a naked picture of you on the internet?"

"You figured it out. It was only a test. You are too smart for your own good."

"So, everything is okay then?"

She floated over and hugged me. The amazing visuals went foul and the dream became more focused on touch. I've never been what you call a hugger but I hugged her back anyway. The last thing I remember was her leaning over and wispering into my right ear.

"Everything is okay."

For some odd reason I was able to see her face and the back of my head and shoulders when she said that. I lost the dream and woke up.



Even though it was only about 6:00, I couldn't go back to sleep. I sure tried though. I knew I was on a roll.

Morning of April 13, 2015. Monday.



My family and I seem to be living back on Duffy Street, though the apartment unit on the other side does not seem present. However, one feature also reminds me of the very large antique wooden expanding table in the living room in Cubitis. I notice a large envelope (somewhat like an A4 manilla envelope though white) from the Department of Education on the table and I see that it had not been opened. I decide to open it as it may be important information. I notice an email address on a piece of paper inside but do not note what it is.

Somehow, even though the envelope was fairly thin, a thick though digest-size catalog comes out. It is a softcover book listing educational resources (including math and science lab items including model dinosaurs) as well as playground equipment. Looking through it, I see that the print is so small that it is inherently unreadable. I go outside into the backyard (which then seems somewhat like being on either Barolin Street or our present house rotated ninety degrees to the west) and show it to my wife and youngest son. My son says that even he cannot see what anything says after my wife says she cannot read the tiny print. As in another recent dream, some of the writing seems related to statistics tables or other data and is printed sideways on the page.

Yet again, this was related to something my wife was seeing and thinking about which I could not have known about, yet which entered my dream - something that has been happening almost continuously, and it has clarified for me why I dreamt so often of my “mystery girl” (validated to have been my wife in every detail) long before we made contact (and oddly enough, seemingly before she was born). I now wonder, along with the conscious Blue Pearl event (which seems to be some form of telepathy) how many other people are bonded this way and perhaps either know or have no idea (or even have an iota of belief in such things). I have read of others experiencing the Blue Pearl, but not so obviously linked to another person and validated as such (it is often attributed to “higher entities”, even “angels” of some sort - also related to healing and a feeling of ecstasy).

In this case, it was related to my wife looking at a book (which my youngest son had wanted): "What the Dinosaurs did Last Night" (Refe & Susan Tuma) and contemplating the nearly unreadable tiny print (especially for a children’s book). I found it hard to believe that a children’s book would have phrases in print that seems only about half the size of the print in adult paperback novels and bordering on being too small to even see. Obviously, very poor judgement was used in the making of the book (relative to type), though the images and plot are fairly well done. Looking it up on the Internet, even the first Amazon review I see reports “The font size is way too small”.

In another dream or offset section of this dream, I walk into the garage, which now seems related to the apartment on Duffy Street (again, the other apartment unit and the adjoining garage not present). I need to get a printer to print some pages of affirmations and dream-making declarations. I see my (fictional) long cream-colored printer. I go to get it out and notice that there must have been a bit of flooding in the garage. There is something that resembles a cup-holder on the right side of the printer and where at least two sets of cords are connected from the bottom of that section. When I pick it up, water comes out and I am aware that I will likely not be able to use it until it is all dried out.

This is actually the second time I dreamt of a computer printer being filled with water, the last time being relevant to one in a kitchen sink (from January 22 of this year). The cord concern seems based on a real-life event where a plumber temporarily triggered the safety switch and power outage due to an extension cord socket being partly filled with water while lying on the wet grass.

Other dreams involving water in a problematic or unlikely area have related to a desk drawer, a window sill, a mopboard (skirting), and a transistor radio (from years ago), though in all these cases, being an actual spray or implied conduit.

The 1st half of the dream I was getting ready to return home. On the way they way I was going to drop off my daughters are their mams.
I was waiting around for something before I could leave.
While waiting and to pass the time I decided to clean the car. I noticed I had 2 bottles of soap and a bottle of something else in my hands. I also had a dry cloth rolled up like a cigar. I squirted soap on the back of the front seats and began cleaning / wiping it off. To keep my daughters busy I went inside and asked my youngest daughter to sweep the floor. She couldn't find the sweeping brush so I decided to help her look. I found it in the hallway on my way out.
Also in the house were my daughters step sisters. I picked up the youngest of them who had no shoes on to say hi.
My dad asked me if I would run an errand for him. I said no. Later when I was busy and my back was turned my youngest sister started to drive off in my car to do the errand. I caught her and hold her that I had already said 'no' to dad. I said this to her when she was half way down the drive way. My dad overheard because he was in the garden beside the driveway.
I told me sister to turn around at the first available opportunity which she did.

Back at the house I went out the front door of the house. I noticed that my dad was cutting the tall and unattended trees that ran parallel to the front of the house. He was using a silent motorized saw. I quickly put my hands up to protect my head from a tree that was falling. I caught it just in time. Also the last tree I noticed had several full horizontal cuts and I remember wondering how it was still standing. I remember telling myself this is allowed because I'm dreaming.
I then walked to my left and noticed movement. I noticed a large octopus approximately the size of a car moving towards a damp shaded clay patch beside me. It was a dark'ish color with moss and old twigs on its back. Looking at it front ways it looked like a giant crab.

The crab saw me. Its mouth was approximate 4 to 5 feet wide. I felt I would need to be on guard so I picked up a long think branch to poke it if it came close. Which it did. I pushed the branch into the back of its mouth. It stopped. I then noticed a 2nd octopus behind it. I noticed I was at the bottom of a dark and damp steep hill. I felt the only way to back away from these creatures was to walk backwards up the hill. As I started walking the 2nd octopus climbed over the 1st one. Again I had to use the stick. But I started to fear I might not out run them. I proceeded up the hill. As I got higher and higher I no longer saw the top. It was like climbing a mountain were you just see a new higher horizon.
I felt the creatures could appear at any minute but I couldn't see them.

My initial thoughts:
I don't get on with my dad at all. I always say 'no' to him. But I don't tell others not to do something he asks. Normally I'm ok with someone borrowing my car.
I've never been too fond of the power of an octopus to crush things nor do I like the look of crabs.

I was returning to work with others to the remote jungle. The whole dream takes place on boats as it was all rivers. Apple pie-preparing. 2 of us sliced the apples but we knew we would not be able to make the pie until the next day as we would have to look through our baggage or obtain supplies to make the pie.

I knew returning would be very, very tough. We were expecting lots of trouble but nothing like what we encountered. Every minute of every day were were been chased by armed gangs who's sole aim was to rob and kill us. I think I had sensed this even before we began.
Suddenly a secondary school teacher I had for 1 or 2 years appeared. She is not something I would ever have thought about and she is someone who I would describe has having a neutral relationship with at school.
She got hit by a stray bullet in the back. I grab her as she was falling. In the dream I instantly recognized a volcano of emotion rising up in me. I proceeded to carry/drag her to a bed. I knew she would be dead in a few minutes. I started to hold on tighter and tighter and tighter to her. She or another person offered to shake hands. I said to myself I'm going to see how hard I can squeeze this person hand. I squeezed very hard but I was unable to squeeze hard enough to break their hand. I was away that I was dreaming and felt the tears well up in my eyes (which were there when I woke up after the dream was over!).
I decided I would like her have her last moments alone so I said 'see you later or see you next time' and tore myself away.
Shortly afterwards spoke to another and we agreed with every once of our being that we had enough running and trying to dodge these gangs. We decided we would proceed in a way that got us as far a way as possible from them.
Suddenly we found ourselves in a remote town. We were on the street and were glad to see the local police chief. He agreed to help use find safe passage. When I turned around there was the leader of the gang. He and his hundreds of followers were dressed in the same uniforms as the police. There was to be a dual which I felt we would not win.

My thoughts/comments.
For 6+ months now I have scarified or given up living by my own free will. Instead I have found a way to connect with my spirit guide and I have been living life by their indications. e.g. what to eat, would it be good to watch such and such a TV program, etc, etc. Recently I have been putting ALL my energy into preparing to 'return' to South America to start a new life i.e. I sense I will leave for a minimum of 2+ years (either travelling or working with medicine plants deep in the jungle). I have been doing this at huge person cost i.e. people would view me as abandoning my daughters which I have effectively done already by following my spirits guides indication not to take up access. And do yo know what ? It feels like the right thing to do. i.e. I viewing this as short term pain (2-5 years away) for long term gain (developing to be the best person I can which in turn will benefit others) , failing to socialize, etc, etc.
If an outside person was to view how advanced my preparations were they would report that I am fully ready.

Dream - Another unexpected lucid
I've recently acquired a new surfboard and wetsuit, which is true in both my dream and real life. I'm in my flat and I see my flatmate Oliver scoot out the door in his own wetsuit with a surfboard (he doesn't have them IRL), it seems that he acquired a surfboard after me and is going to test-drive his surfboard before I've tested mine (been too busy sadly ). I decide that I'll meet him at the beach since it's a nice day, I head there and he's absolutely ripping it up - except instead of it being Oliver it's my friend Isaac... I don't notice the transition though. The cut of his board suits his skill level and the wave types there... But my surfboard isn't quite right, I'm having a hard time paddling and can't turn properly, I swim about for a while but the tide is starting to come in (which, where I live, can be a predicament as it comes right up to the wall which would suck to smash into...). I climb up a hill to rest and at the the top there's a slooty bar with a name in glowing red neon, can't recall the name though >_<. I look down and see Isaac leaving, for some reason I think to myself it might be a dream, which my rational says "No way man, this is so realistic, there's no way it's a dream!". I do a reality check anyways, pushing my finger through my hand, it goes through but I'm not convinced... I decide to try something NEW, something that can only be done in a dream. I put my hands in front of me separated with my fingers splayed and curving. I turn them to face each other, finger tips an inch apart, then try to summon electricity. Sparking occurs, stretching between the tips of my fingers from one hand to the other crackling with energy.

"Hmmm... Okay, I'm convinced, this is a dream" I narrate to myself, the dreamworld around me so convincing that I'm still not so sure. The reality of lucidity doesn't quite dawn on me, I don't really DO anything except follow the dream normally, never truly being in control. At some point I actually lose lucidity and continue on oblivious, which leads to a situation where I'm swimming with friends and we need to get out the water for some reason. Oh well.

Note: 4th lucid dream recently that has been unexpected, might be related to simple breathing meditation I randomly did before going to sleep - which I primarily did just so I could slow down my racing thoughts and focus on a 'day-dream' to help myself fall asleep.

April 12, 2015

You're Back Already?

Fragment I remembered randomly: I was at home, and so was my little brother. I saw him sitting on the couch and at firstthought he had just come for the weekend, but he had all of his stuff with him too. I asked if he was done with school now, and he said he was. I said, "ALREADY?!" and that's about all I remember from the dream haha.




Christian Grey's Mansion

I was in a large mansion with Christian Grey. We were just talking for a while; he seemed less of a creeper in my dream than he was in the movie (didn't read the books so I can't attest to that). Then he got out duct-tape and a whip, and I was like "WTF are you planning to do with THAT." He looked at me like it was obvious, and I was fine with having a little tussle with him, just not that way. I told him as much (a little bit more vulgarly), and he said that if I could keep away from him for half an hour, he would put them away. But if he caught me within half an hour, he would get to use them. The thrill got me more excited, and he promised to not actually whip me, so I agreed. He smiled and closed his eyes and I started running through the halls of the mansion. All was well until I ran into a booby-trap. I started sinking into the floors of one of the hallways...

He hadn't mentioned anything about booby-traps. This made me freak out because if he hadn't told me about the booby-traps, he expected to win the game, and he might have lied about not using the whip on me. I heard footsteps and freaked out more, fell all the way through the floor, and landed in a room. I started to run, and ran into more booby-traps and the halls were like a maze. I could have sworn Christian was around every corner. Then I came to a room with a panoramic window from floor to ceiling. The mansion was in a desolate, red, volcanic landscape. I could tell that I would die within minutes if I stepped outside the mansion.

I didn't know how much time had elapsed since the start of our little game, so I didn't know if it was safe to let him find me now. Somehow through my fear, I was still up for sexytimes. As long as there was no whip. Duct-tape I might tolerate either way, I like the feeling of sticky tapes. But no whip. So I continued to hide from him (didn't think to look at my watch to keep track of time, silly me. Might have gotten lucid if I had, too!)

Eventually he did find me, but it must have been more than 30 minutes because there was no whip and no duct-tape involved~




I took a nap around 5:00 and had this dream. I'm not sure if it was a WILD or not, because it was a pretty low level of lucidity. But I don't remember ever actually falling asleep or losing consciousness. Like, the whole time I knew I was awake in bed, but was still having this epic experience. Does that make sense?
Double-Layered Landscape

I laid down for a nap and wondered if I could WILD. A few times, I felt the shaking and had a really loud ringing in my ears, but I would slip out of it because of an itch I needed to scratch.

About the 3rd time this happened, I had been thinking about flying. Gradually my bed disappeared and I felt myself entering a dream with a low-ish level of lucidity... I Was flying and could look over a landscape sweeping below me.

IT was gorgeous. It was HUG. Everything was on a huge scale. I was flying very high up, and there were vast mountains and canyons and waterfalls all around me. the colors were also vivid and bright. The sky was dawn or dusk-ish; bright oranges and blues and purples.

I flew around at high speeds, watching for villages. The world was like a less blocky Minecraft. I wanted to know what was on the other side of this huge waterfall, so I flew over the edge of that. It was just like those videos on Blue Planet or Planet Earth. Right over the edge, close to the water. It was all mist and white beyond, so I flew down through the mist to see what was beyond it. I flew fast; for some reason I wasn't scared of hitting the bottom. Once the mist cleared, there was this amazing world BELOW the landscapes I had just seen. As far as I could see, there was a massive cave-like area. Moss grew all over everything; other than the moss and tons of luminescent flowers and leaves ground on the ground and walls and ceilings, there was no other vegetation. Streams of water fell straight down through holes to the over-world. these streams were scattered all around, and it was just so beautiful. I flew around down here for a while and then sought out one of the waterfalls back up to the overworld.

It was a much narrower one, with lichen and vines and those beautiful luminescent things surrounding me. When I reached the overworld, I flew up high again. I was in the mountains. I flew a little lower to search for a village; I wanted to interact with people.

I did find a village, but it was in the middle of an evacuation because of some monster that was going to attack. It, like everything in this world, was massive, I was told by a fleeing DC. I felt the dream slipping and slowly became more aware of my bed than the scenes around me. Then I knew it was gone, and so I opened my eyes in bed.
