All DJ Entries

I had another uneventful night due to my son being home from college & a dispute between him & my newly acquired cat over territory. But I am gonna take a nap & use the Piano Key Method. I fed my cat so she would nap & hopefully my son will stay in his own space since he stayed up all night.

I was walking in the woods. Everything seems great, like usual. But then I saw some houses, small buildings. I must have reached a village. There was someone there. I asked why is everyone inside. She replied that the sun was changing today, and I must hide somewhere to not be burned. I hid inside a small building. Through the windows, I see the sun moving really fast in the sky. The sky was yellow-ish and the sun was really really bright, reality-like bright. Then, it started to burst intense blue light, making it even brighter. I shut the window's blinds because I didn't want us to burn. Even with the blinds closed, a flash of white light came occurred. Then, everything was calm again. We opened the door to see what happened. The sky was red-ish and yellow, there was a new sun in the sky, replacing the old one! It was bigger and red. At was actually less bright, as I could watch it without burning my eyes. I decided to explore the rest of the woods. I was with the girl who told me to hide. The forest was going up, just like a hill. I saw one of my friend and I decided to go back.

The following entry is a series of five periods at which I became lucid during the night, possibly in more that one REM period.

1. I appear in my childhood home and my awareness begins to increase. I check hands as a reinforcing RC and notice 6. I walk to the front of the room and consider flying out through the window, but decide against it as to practice & focus on stabilization. I simply becoming more aware of my surroundings as I stare at the corner of the room. I think back to DV posts and podcasts encouraging simply being aware of the dream and heightening awareness rather than influencing and getting swept away; I feel this greatly helped my stabilization & focus, and increased duration. I continue down the hallway and rub my hands a bit to increase focus. I head toward the window but notice a bit of black out coming. Instead of spinning like a typically did in the past, I decided to instead meditate in the dream, meditating through the void while using the mantra "I am dreaming".

2. I reappear in an LD and notice immediately I am dreaming. I check my hands anyway. I decide this time to make it outside and quickly head toward the main entry and continue to walk, paying attention to surrounds closely without influencing. Once outside, I am happy with how vivid everything is and how stable everything feels. I then recall some dream goals I had written down: meeting my spirit teacher/guide. I shout out to the dream yet nothing appears. I continue down the street and look to the left. I see a beautiful forest grove behind the neighbor's house with slight orange amber light coming through. I have an inclination to head toward it and figure the dream is encouraging me there for a reason. I make my way behind the house with a very low flying movement, and continue on into a grove of druid/beastmasters. This area appears to be where their clan resides. I am greeted quickly by a young lean man with short blonde stubble short/med length dark hair, and ragged leather clothes of a druid. He is followed by a company of a few others int he clan which all appear friendly/inviting. I am currently inside their den/tent area waiting by a low table for them to approach. We are in a small room off to the side of the main building, with seats surrounding the table. I gaze into the main chamber beyond, and the walls apear to be adorned with an array of natural tapestry including pieces of animal pelts. There are a few additional members of the clan in the area, including males and females. The young man in front of me is intrigued at my appearance, and I begin to discuss the reality I'm experiencing. We both take a seat. I ask him something along the lines of whether or not he is a guide - he mentions he is confused about the reality I'm experiencing as this is his reality. I soak in the surrounding yet notice a bit of blackness coming. Once again I decide to meditate through. I inform the group that I need to meditate to re-emerge in a dream (intending to return/continue the conversation). I continue to recite the mantra "I"m dreaming" as the void approaches.

3. I know right away that I'm dreaming and decide this time to head into the backyard as I remember the past dreams of venturing to the front. Once I descend into the back, I decide to enter a portal as I want to cover more ground. Rather than create a portal, I simply imagine that the surface of the bush will act as a portal to a nature-based dreamscape. As I walk in, the area becomes dark and unstable. Instead of meditating, I decide to walk through the bush and continue to pop out the other side. I re-enter the void state.

4. I appear in my room and check hands to ensure it's a dream. I quickly head downstairs and decide to simply explore without interfering. I spend some time downstairs (possibly a minute or so, but memory is foggy at this period).

5. Once again I appear somewhere around the upper floor and quickly fly to the frond and decide to ask the dream more serious questions which I have written in my RL DJ in order to incubate/give meaning to the the LD experience. Once I make my way to the street, I once again soak in all of the vividness. The dim reddish twilight makes it's wake through the darkened clouds as it appears to be the middle of night. I shout out to the dream "How do I develop my Spirit the most in this lifetime dream?! How do I develop my spirit to the highest degree in this life?! I wait for a response but nothing audible comes. I notice a pink light appear in the 2nd story window of a house a couple houses down. I reason that this would be a good place to head to. As I make may way closer, I begin to feel as though my body is stirring somewhere else (a strange realization which is difficult to relay) and I begin to transition to waking life. I am reluctant to open my eyes, yet move through a RC. Yes - I'm awake in RL!

I posted about my problems on my life problems page, and see that I had a reply off someone i have never seen on the forum! While I was reading it I didn't understand some of the words that was being said.

I remember my friend luke was in college and he got paid for going, so I walked up to college with him, there where 3 shutters and the middle one was open, I asked why it wasn't closing. The dream carried on and we walked into this big old grey building, me and him where smoking on my eciggarette but I notice how the smoke was getting upto the smoke alarm so I ran out the place.

That being said, I remember being in a room with my girlfriend and her friend. She gave me her phone while I looked at something and honestly I've never seen a phone like it, it barely even had a screen on it

Trying to take note off some of the weird things in me dreams.

I was in school, at usage of wood resource classes. I felt ill and almost slept on a table. The teacher mentioned incoming vocation exam. I took a pillow and a blanket from my backpack and tried to fall asleep while teacher said that me and two other people should stay in classroom, while others must go away. He was mad for some reason. I looked around the classroom. One dude have lost his hand and was changing bandages, while his pal was jus lightly injured. Other guy made his pal a prank, which enraged the teacher. He yelled at everyone, then took me for an exam that I still had to pass. I was highly unprepared, so I said that I'll finish it another time.

Later on during another lesson I was called to help some teacher, and when I wanted to get back to my current lesson, one of the teachers closed the doors. Luckily she opened them and I went to the classroom - it was somehow empty, with only few people inside. I took a seat and then teacher showed us movies with random creatures and their lairs, and we had to draw them in our notebooks.

I dreamt today that an accident happened to me in the mountains and I became invisible to almost anyone- we were a group like this- recognised one guy(like a ghost). We were only seen by a group of other people who were supervising us, like police officers. I had a functional walking talkie and they took that from me to not communicate with people-this was like a connection between dimensions.(I was working in an adventure park this summer-usng the walkie talkie a lot). I entered a hotel and communicated with the personnel via writing at a page. They could touch me and stuff but not see me. I felt my body is in some place (hospital?) t did not actually see it. think I had sex with one of the ''ghost girls'''. What do you think this could mean?

Slept for almost 12 hours. Didn't write anything down when I woke expecting to remember the dreams but of course didn't so only remembered one.

1) Something about one of my children's teachers. She was living in a small one bed flat. I used it to sleep in, then a very old friend of mine turned up and wanted to sleep there. Then the teacher was there, I needed to sleep and she said I could, but her friend was also there and there were only two beds, but she would work something out. All a bit muddled.

It's good to be back! I was trying to do an actual WBTB last night, something that I haven't taken the time for in ages, but my legs disrupted my sleep too much. I was lucky have this late morning LD.

#488 - DILD - 9AM-ish

I go into work two hours late and Mike and Brenda is telling my boss is mad at me for it. I decide to fill out a form for sick pay so that maybe she wont be mad. I try to clock in on the computer, but nothing is working right. Woody tells me the computers are down and I have to clock in on the old time card system. I have a hard time finding a blank time card and all the ones with writing look really strange. It takes a minute to find what I am looking for. As I slide my card in the machine it dawns on me that all the trouble I am having is typical of a dream.

I walk way from time card and walk back into my work place. I see various people that I know, but their faces are all melty-flowy and shift into other faces. This is typical for me so I don't pay much attention to it, though I find it annoying. As I try to think what I'll do in this dream, I realize that I am really tense now, trying too hard no to wake up. I force myself to relax a little and things feel better. I decide I should go ahead and see why my boss is so angry; I figure it would be good practice for waking life.

I walk into the break-room and see the usual people she sits with, but my boss is absent. I sit across from Sasha and ask where Sandy is, but shes deep in some conversation and mostly ignores me. I see some red sugar cookies and a coffee sitting in front of me. I try a cookie, but there is no taste. I go ahead and dunk it in coffee; still no taste, but now my mouth feels like it's full of something thick and expanding. Sasha tells me that I have red sugar in my beard. I try to say something back, but my mouth is so full I can't speak. I quickly wake up feeling like I have cottonmouth.

Last night was crazy.. I passed out on my bed from extreme fatigue at 7:45ish, fully clothed with the lights all on and my cat in the room. I woke up between 12 and 1, slugglish and bleary-eyed. I chucked the cat out, went toilet, un-clothed myself and went back to bed. I think at this point I decided to write out the 'bomb' dream I had. I had a lot more dreams during the night though, A LOT. I got up in the morning at 8:15ish so I had roughly 12 hours of sleep. My head was swimming with a lot of dreams and I didn't really want to recall them all since I still felt tired.

Dream
I was at a house that was supposed to be where my friend is staying, Daniel. The place doesn't actually resemble it, it kind of reminds of his room when we were kids. I was going to stay the night so I set up on the couch in his room. I think the dream transitioned and we were driving somewhere, it was still night time. On the way I have an understanding that we've crossed a bridge heading away from the city centre and we're avoiding the area that has explosive mines. We arrived at a park, and I assume it was a some kind of party thing as there were other people arriving in the background. Another transition happened and I'm about to crash at Daniels place again (though it's a different place this time, probably more similar to my old room before moving to uni). I'm friggin tired (reminiscent of how tired I was before falling asleep to have this dream) and I collapse on his bed, I think he's lying down too. I get up and start setting up the couch so I can go to sleep. I pull a white sheet over the couch pillows and place a blanket and headpillows down too. I lie down and I'm on my laptop, and my friend Daniel is now a guy called Jamie, also on his laptop. For some reason we're both looking at porn on our browser, he comes over and tells me he can't watch porn anymore because his dad is calling him to have a game of Warlords Battlecry 3. He says that he assumed I wouldn't want to join because they're really good and that they'd thrash me, "Nah it'll be fine, I'll just stay in my base building an army or something" I say. I set up to play with them, but the dream setting changes to what part of the battlemap would look like. There's a huge sandy waste that descend into a pit, and we're kind of not really in Jamies room anymore. I think eventually it's obvious that we're outside at night too. Jamie is on the same side of the pit as me, and his dad is on the other side. It's sort of day time now too. Suddenly there's a huge BOOM. I immediately think that it's the mine field, but the sound was way too loud.. It must have been some kind of bomb? Looking towards the city centre there's a huge plume of smoke pluming into the sky, it wavers around a lot (it wasn't very realistic, but I didn't catch on). I spot a bit of black smoke a little closer to us, it's hard to make out though. I then realize that it's a shockwave of black smoke from the bomb that's radiating outwards from the bomb. Oh shit! I grab Jamie by the wrist and drag him with me as I run away. There's a modern block building that looks like it belongs to some company, I head towards it past the pit. I can't see where the dad is but I assume he's ok. The smoke wave is close now, it's gonna get us! I reach the building and yank open the doors as fast as I can just as the wave hits us. I remember thinking as well that just because I grabbed Jamie by the wrist he might think I'm gay, and that I'm not and I felt bad for misleading him or something.

D₁-Theres a shadow in the corner of my room on my ceiling and at first it was this furry thing that kept growling at me and then it turned into a cute black furry puppy that just wagged its tail at me.

Dream skip

D₂-Chase sent me a message on fb that was one of those memes about relationships and it said," pull her hair and slap her ass." Weird becuase our aquaintanship is nothing like that. Anyways back to the dream, he also put it as his status and a bunch of people liked it.

3.27.16

This is a small part of a loner dream.

We are walking on a dirt road. There is a ditch to the left which is filled with fast flowing flood water. The tiny baby goat or lamb jumps in it and I watch it in disbelief how it's being carried down the stream.

I look around but nobody is taking action. I don't really wanna do it but I just have to. I jump in the water and start paddling fast expecting to be getting close to the lamb. But I realize right away with a surprise, that this 5 feet wide ditch is filled with grass that grows in bunches like this.


The water is kinda cold and yellow murky from the mud it's carrying.
There is very little space between those bunches and I'm practically standing on top of them with very little room to swim.

I can't swim here at all, but thank god I see how the lamb had enough of it and it pulls itself out on the shore.
I get out too and I cuddle him in my arms as we keep walking.

Not really sure about feeling from this dream. Maybe being inadequate.

27/3/16:
Dream 1: I woke up remembering one word. Zombies. I think there was a magazine story about it and my relatives were coming over.

Dream 2: I was at my old house preparing the house for when my relative were coming over. My mum cooked dinner which we ate, then I went back to cleaning but as I pulled back a chair a whole bunch of spiders came pouring out. I tried stamping on them but it wasn't working too well. I ran off and got a poison sprayer and fired it at them. It killed them, but it got stuck on and I started feeling suffocated. I ran outside and threw the poison away and walked around the side of the house. It was raining, and I found my mum walking around there barefoot and looking dazed. I asked her what she was doing and she seemed too shellshocked to reply so I brought her back inside.

Dream 3: I can't remember the beginnings of this one, but I gave a short, sharp pump up speech and then grabbed a light bulb hanging down on a chin in front of me and ripped it off. This violent action woke me up lol.

My son is home college for a week & my husband is my priority on the wknd's. Therefore I was jump started awake by family & had no way to remember my dream because others hindered me... so frustrating.

I entered dream and everything was diffuse. I didn't hear any sounds at start. But slowly everything concentrated and my senses came along.
I was in quite desolate big village. Houses were in various stage of disrepair, rubbish laid on the street. I walked and observed...the day went into night. And I walked. I observed dark places surrounding the light ones. In dark patches of village there was nobody, people were moving into light ones. All the people sleep zombies. Even my wife was in zombie state there... And it looked as if I was walking to more and more narrow places and rooms... I didn't like that. It looked like typical dream where one is walking till he can't move anymore. I'm not scared by that, but it usually leads out of dream(into wake state). And I didn't want that So I concentrated and I walked into open...
After some time of walking the night went into day. I was walking on street where one side was hill and other side had houses. That road went up and up... And it started to be a little boring... so I decided to go and visit closest house.It was in bad shape... small parts of it were falling down constantly. After I went out of it I navigated to better looking house. There was a dog guarding it... Quite big one. Yet I was walking there. I looked on the dog. The dog looked on me. I stopped. I was thinking looking on the dog and an interesting "game" began:
The dog is quite big... what if it is ferocious? The dog started to snarl.
The dog is snarling... what if the rope is not strong enough to keep it on place? The rope snapped
Now... the dog is not bound what if he is going to attack me? The dog started to growl louder and started to creep to me...
The dog is quite close and he looks on me... he will jump... The dog jumped.
I didn't wait and I shoved my right hand into mouth of jumping dog deep, up to my elbow. The dog was like sleeve on my hand- he tried to bite, but his attempts were pitiful. I looked into his eyes... he was choking... And disappeared.
I was looking on my arm... it was slobbered a little. I contemplated a minute about what happened and then I went into house. It was really in better shape. Yet it was again empty. I was thinking: this dream is not very interesting. Then I remembered that I tried a few times to meet someone in a dream, by calling the name... to make this dream shared. So I called. Nothing happened. Did I call someone? I didn't hear anything. I concentrated more... And I CALLED my friend full name. It was roar. The air was waving by compression waves... the ground went into wave around me... like when someone drops a rock into water. Houses around me trembled. And someone appeared!!! I looked on that woman back (she appeared about 5 meters from me with her back turned to me) and was thinking... is she my friend? The body sizes was about right, the soul connection screamed that it was her... yet the hair... colour was right, but the length... she had hair maybe 1-1.2 meter long! I never saw something like that by her. I decided to ask. Her face was that of my friend... yet the answer was negative. She didn't know me. I was confused. She walked away and slowly disappeared on the move.
Hmmm... should I try call her again? I called second time... I concentrated... the volume of my roaring of her name was at least as strong as first time. Devastating for some of more desolate houses. And again a woman appeared. THE SAME ONE!!! I walked to her and again asked... And again the answer was negative. I asked:Then why did you appeared again? I received no answer on my question. And that woman again slowly disappeared.
Third time is a charm??? So I concentrated longer and more. The roar of her full name was much more powerful. LOL. The same woman appeared :
She looked on me and asked: Why are you calling me again and again?
How am I calling you, when you are not who I'm calling??? You told me that you are not who I'm calling.I answered.
She looked on me confused. And disappeared again.
I was again walking through desolate village. Why it looks so bad? Why am I walking in such devastated country? Why not some woodland... or meadow? I looked up and I saw hill maybe 500 meters further behind houses... with lush green trees. Yet I wasn't tempted to walk there. I only looked on them... I saw how leaves are moving in wind. The day slowly went into night again and I lost consciousness in darkness of night.

Remarks.
Who was that woman? She came when I called... yet I was calling my friend. Was it dream interpretation?
The dream wasn't shared one, probably. My friend didn't remember anything. Could she be from other time, dimension? She was strangely conscious... Not the dream zombie
Not a short LD
Devastated village... Why? Why didn't I walk to those trees? There was no need, no want...no will to walk there in me. I walked where I felt I have to walk.

Only recalled fragments:

• Looking at a printed maze (woke up from this)
• Sitting in a wooden gym/theater that is lit by orange light. There is a chinese dragon costume onstage.
• Talking with my my high school counselor about my grades. She's using some sort of futuristic transparent interface thing. Takes place in gym place. (Not my counselor IRL. Actually an assistant principal)
• Talking with my mother in the gym place. She asks: "was it neela?", referring to the counselor. (I don't actually know anyone named neela)

Notes:

• I messed up the volume on my alarm. Did not wake up at planned WBTB time.
• I need to remember to sit in bed for a bit and try to recall my dreams before jumping into the day.
