    1. Zero stars

      by , 07-15-2016 at 07:50 PM
      In a dark and foul tavern, many people dressed wretchedly are eating foul smelling dishes of food. They look animalistic in my eyes,
      and all seem to have lots of facial hair. There is a thin mist in the tavern of either cold or cooking smoke from the fire, it is unpleasant and damp. We are being offered to sit and join these people for food but are repelled, one even begins to be sick from copious amounts of ale. Evidently not a five star establishment, we leave.

      I guess there is a lot that disgusts me about myself and I try to hide from, and be higher than, but it is still there, part of me.

    2. Highway trouble

      by , 07-15-2016 at 06:55 PM
      I am with my girlfriend on a highway I don't recognize. It is jam packed. We take the wrong exit, so I turn around and start going the opposite way. People aren't driving cars, but walking. The highway splits, we stay right at the fork. The highway gets narrower and steeper, until it's just wide enough for one person to fit through and so steep that it's nearly vertical. We get to a point where I know we can't keep going. I look down at her and say we have to go back. I don't look forward to going back to that flood of people.

      When we make our way back, we find ourselves at the end of the highway. It's like the bridge just cut off suddenly. Something lurches us forward, and hundreds of us fall into the water beneath us.

      We are then lifted up onto an inflatable raft that is tugged by a speed boat. It moves faster than we can hold on, and some of us fall off.

      Someone speaks through a megaphone and tells us to let go and fall into the deck below. We do so, and I'm so thankful to have solid ground beneath my feet.

      In front of us, on the speed boat, is a stage. And on the stage, an old Bruce Willis with long hair has the microphone and he's leading his band. The band consists of him as the singer, Jaden Smith as a wild dancer, and Michelle Rodriguez on the side looking cool. Bruce Willis says something that's supposed to be funny, but only a few of us laugh, including one of us who had fallen into the water and was floating nearby. Bruce gives us a strange, strained smile, like he hates the icy crowd and his job.

      Jaden dances around a bit as the boat tugs us to land. I talk to my girlfriend about what's happening, thinking it's nice of them to have rescued us. She says this must have been planned, that biostaticians never do anything without the data to prove that it's profitable to do so. I think that she's right and I get upset about the lack of selflessness of humanity.

      I was living with some friends of mine after an apocalypse or something. Villains had taken over and we went into hiding in a commune of sorts.

    4. Emotional lucids with multiple types of dreams techniques. Very interesting indeed.

      by , 07-15-2016 at 05:32 PM
      D1: Lucid- I was in this luxurious house where I murder had been committed. There was a dead woman. I was consoling a friend that I don't know in my waking life but I became lucid & because I felt so connected to her I tried to find out more about her. She was hysterical. I was also looking around the room looking for hints of any kind due to the familiarity of the woman.... I woke up briefly due to a power surge in my home. My neighbors pulled down a power line which switched off our new central air & other electrical devices. I got up to pee & turn the our fans back on but came back to bed because I just thought it was a fluke surge.

      D2: Lucid- I had just came back to bed & immediately started my dream state again. I was in a radio studio giving an interview with the same woman I felt I knew which made me intensively lucid because she was just in my last dream. It was about the murder & a house that burned down. I was confused about the house burning down. I had said something to my friend & to the listening viewers into the radio microphone. Suddenly I hear crying. I look next to me & my friend was now 2 chairs over & an older woman was between us & crying. I felt it was my fault & was apologizing to her because I was referring to my friend & was trying to tell this older woman this. My friend had her arm around this woman but I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness & started to cry. I think she was the murdered woman. I woke up crying with a strong sense of grief.

      D3: Lucid- I fell right back into the dream from an awake state so I started this dream lucid of course. The scene changed where I was standing behind a house & behind this house was one that was burned down. My friend was there again.... I started to utilize the state of the dream & said we should start to rebuild the house. I had started to use my mind to move some of the rubble to begin the building process. But my friend was saying we couldn't do this without a permit so we started a conversation about this when I was awakened again because of the electricity issue in real life. My son had come into my room. Hence my dream was over before I could finish the house project.



      I spent the day using mnemonic method. Also a new visual of technique in particular that I've been doing over the last week where I look at myself in the mirror & close my eyes while holding the visual of my own face in the mirror.... I read you can only dream of people you have seen before in your waking life which in turn if you have not seen them in this lifetime they could be from a past life, alternate universe, duel reality, or parallel plane. If I was to take a guess to which this one would be it would be the parallel plane or duel reality...... I recently read a book that told of the "ether". It's what Buddhist's belief system & many other cultures who have a strong ability to astral travel talk of. I've also been doing the exercises to that allow you achieve such goal. It's a very interesting concept & my meditation practices are growing stronger due to these exercises.... I was able to achieve a number of techniques over this night which I'm really excited about.

      Preface:
      Bed at midnight. Long day and long night. Skipped vitamins before bed; I was so tired I forgot about them.
      I am noticing that my dream transitions are smoother. Dreams are turning into one really long dream, as opposed to many short ones.

      DR1

      I am walking down an alleyway with a couple of friends. It is evening time, and the color of the buildings is brown/goldish. It looks as if everything is being lit up by a torch, except, there is no torch in sight. I am with a girlfriend, and we are being accompanied by two guys. My girlfriend is talking a lot, explaining her new plan to "make" money. We arrive at a clearing in an alleyway. There is a table, with a machine on top if it. She has apparently found this machine, and this machine actually "makes" gold coins! The machine is made up of all types of contraptions that go all the way down the table and end with coins dropping into 4 five gallon (20liter) buckets that have somehow been screwed in under the table. You have to unscrew the buckets to get the product out. I actually watch liquid gold run through the contraption and I am amazed. I begin to think that this is dangerous, and ask more questions about how this came about. The guys unscrew the buckets from underneath the table. Wow, 4 big buckets of gold coins!

      And then, through conversation, I find out that people are after that machine! A dangerous gang of thugs is lurking in the background and they ambush us. Our guy friends manage to take two buckets of coins to safety, but the thugs take two. My friend hides a little stash under some old clothes on the table, and nobody bothers to look there. We all run around a corner, and I find the doorway of a building. I open it, we go in and close/lock the door behind us. Its a sturdy building door so nobody can come in. Has a hospital feel to it, except for the building has warm colors on a darker scheme (brown, gold, oranges, dim lighting); it's not white like a medical facility. We start to try to figure out what to do, but we are confused and panicked.

      The gang stops trying to get in and they disappear. We start to look around the lobby and offices, which seem like lived-in hotel rooms. We try to get some rest and figure out what to do next. Our guy friends have managed to run off with the gold buckets, so its just me, my girlfriend and no gold.

      I start to wander into one of the rooms, because I hear a noise. My friend says, "don't go down that hall- I think it used to be a psyche (psychiatric) ward". I wander into a room down the hall anyway, out of curiosity. When I open the door, there is a little girl with glasses standing in front of her bed. The room looks normal, only I am seeing everything in grey/blue scale. A weird blue light is cast over everything. She speaks to me, and calls me a name that I don't recognize. She tells me I'm from Texas, but I have a Louisiana spirit.
      I tell her she's mistaken, that "<name>" isn't my name. She picks up a doll, smells it and looks up at me. At that moment, her eyes become completely black and she turns into a small dwarf man/monster. In a demon-like voice he says, "That's right! your name is <my name>". I panic with fear, and he starts to grow taller- really tall. I think part of me realizes this is a dream, but I don't wake up. I feel like its a threat that can be contained within the room. I say to myself, "oh, no no..this is not why I came" and I walk out of the room and shut the door. When I close the door, my fear is gone and I return to the room where my friend is waiting.

      All of a sudden, the thugs are back, trying to get into the door. They tell us to open the door and give us the gold, because they have our kids. We begin to panic and we try to negotiate. We don't have the gold so we are freaking out. They end up taking one of the older kids, and I don't know what to do. We can see the alleyway from the small window in the door. There is a fence (?) on the left border. They throw the kid over the fence and we just begin freaking out. I am standing there crying uncontrollably for a solid couple of minutes because I don't know what to do.

      My friend and I then realize that we have been in the thugs' hiding place the whole time. We can see a car in the street, so we begin looking for the keys. We are also thinking that we can still get the remainder of the gold from the table, to get kids back.
      As this thought comes to mind, my dream shifts to third person and I am floating over the table. The clothes are removed from the hidden stash before me. I can see that my friend has placed coins in a bunch of little gift boxes for the poor.

      I shift out of third person, because I am looking for keys inside the facility. In some attempt at a trade, the thugs have given us pieces of wood instead of car keys. I realize that the keys must be inside the facility somewhere. I search the lobby and find the keys on the shelf. I tell my friend we have to go.

      We open the door and we run. We get into the car- and my dream shifts into third person. The car has been painted this metallic purple, and its all tricked out. I feel myself get into the car, but my when my vision shifts, I can only see her face and one part of the car...I can't recall seeing myself even though I know I got in.


      Notes:
      Lots of obvious dream symbols that I won't bother to list. However, weird notes include:
      -Two dreams in a row where two seemingly innocent people have morphed into harmful beings. (On 07/13 the homeless boy, and last night the little girl with glasses)
      - Why she smells the doll to recognize me is so odd. I have a very keen sense of smell IRL, though.
      -Gifts for the poor
      -Purple car
      - kidnapping
      - poor is also a theme for 2 nights in a row. (gifts for the poor and the homeless man)
    6. Log 442 - Quick Quake and Other Assorted Stories

      by , 07-15-2016 at 03:53 PM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Friday 15 July 2016

      There were three dreams I recalled today, including a late DILD at the end, to which I bagged this month's Bonus task. The first one is just a fragment now, though that was wilfully forgotten on my part; the first half was just kinda yucky.

      Scrap Group 1
      Skip gross part. Later, something of "chibi" human heads eating tiny people like candy.

      Dream 1 - Don't Mind the Senseless Transition

      The visuals were dim. I was wandering at a parking lot at late dusk.

      As I searched for my vehicle (whatever that was), I suddenly turn up at the backseat of a car. My sister, Giane, and my brother, Terry, were there. I question how I'd no memory of getting there. Supposedly, I spaced out for a moment, during which I was taken inside said car. That didn't make much sense even at the time, yet I just left it at that.

      Soon, Giane recieves a phone call. On the other line were two cousins, Carlos and Isabella, who were supposedly visiting. They wanted us to go to a restaurant to speak. Terry and I were not up to it, though I reluctantly change my mind when Carlos assured me he'd take the bill.

      One highway drive later, and I go within an unknown home. This place was a bit messy, and not in good repair. Mom shows up. She claims we rented the place for a few nights as part of a vacation, I think. Most of the luggage was still packed. I look through the cupboards in the kitchen. On the higher ones, I find several plastic canisters filled with crackers. Certainly, we came more prepared than I expected.

      Things get unclear. I know I wander around for a while. Not sure how the dream ends.

      Dream 2 - Quick Quake


      The visuals were dim. I falsely awaken in the downstairs bedroom at early dawn. Both being in this location and my inability to move makes me aware of my state.

      I immediately try the earthquake TOTM by will alone. And just like that, the ground trembles with a low rumble. Such violent shaking was very uncomfortable. Even then, the surrounding furniture within and just out of the room hardly budged; they're only barely scraped sideways on the tiled floors, and nothing on or within them are toppled over.

      After about ~30 seconds, I'm transitioned, though I know nothing else of what occurred until I awaken.

    7. Tried to fly again.

      by , 07-15-2016 at 03:12 PM (My Dream World)
      This was a dream that I had after waking up in the morning, lying lazily in bed cause I didn't wanna wake up and then eventually falling back asleep. It was pretty detailed and vivid and I have a pretty good memory of this one.

      I was in the house of a colleague from school called P (I'll be shortening names here for privacy). Another person from school, D, was here. I hadn't seen both of them in a long time (about 3 years I think). There was also a friend from college, PH, there with us. I was in P's room, which looked a lot like mine, with a few differences. For one the walls were all completely white, I think the beds were larger with some weird decoration on them, there was a werid bronze decoration with a "C" shape coming out of the ceiling and the TV wasn't there. I'm not sure if the wardrobe was there as well. This confused me but I just assumed that we lived in the same building and so our apartments have similar rooms/layouts (not true, I have visited his house in waking life). D and PH were talking about random stuff which I don't recall very well.I remember getting up and hitting my head on some weird decoratin on the wall. D and PH would sometimes make jokes and I would just stare blankly at them until I got the joke and they laughed me. I had noticed PH's finger looked weird, it kinda looked like it had been chopped off. I was hesitant but asked him what happened and he just said it was just something he put on his finger which made it look like it had been chopped off.

      I made my way out of the room and everything looked very similar to my own apartment. I went to the room with the balcony and looked out of the window. It was the building which I lived in with a few differences. There was an additional floor which I assumed to be the roof. I was confused but I just assumed we were neighbors and just never spoke to each other because I don't know my neighbors very well (false, since I know everyone who lives in my building which is rather small) I could also see some people and I was trying to figure out which floor this was. I think I eventually decided it was the third floor.

      There was some sort of skip there and suddenly we were in another room, which was somehow moving on the streets like a car. It was quite a bumpy ride. D and PH were there again, chatting. I remember someone who I assumed to be P's father walked in and told me something. PH then commented about how he was sit on the bed I was on right now but he sat on the other one instead because mine was directly in front of the window and there would be a lot of sunlight there. In the end it didn't really matter because the blinds on the window were blocking the sunlight anyway (I hadn't noticed them beforehand). Eventually we were nearing the building I was in and I wanted to walk out of the room
      . At this point, I was kinda lucid but I was also half-awake and trying to stay in the dream. I remember think to myself "I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming..." which was the mantra I used for my MILD earlier.

      At this point everything was really dark. The dream was barely there. I kept repeating the mantra as I walked out of the room and went down some steps. As soon as I stepped outside, BAM! I was in a very vivid dream and was fully lucid. It was late afternoon, shortly after sunset. I was in the street that I live in. I noticed I had a backpack for some reason, hanging on one shoulder and I put it on. I tought to myself "Now I'll fly with my wings.". I looked back and I could kinda see them (they looked like reaper wings from the game The World Ends With You). I've never actually flew in my dreams, only levitated above the ground. Every time I flew I would become afraid and fall, so I was trying to overcome this. I started flying up and I was kinda afraid of falling, as usual. I heard some guy say "You can do it!" and gained some confidence, but as I distanced myself from the ground I became more and more afraid of falling. I eventually tried to fly up really fast, but that woke me up.

    8. [15-07-2016]

      by , 07-15-2016 at 11:54 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I was in a mall, holding a shopping list in my hand. First position on the list were potatoes, so I went to the vegetables section and started to sort which potatoes were good enough to take. Suddenly a dark haired woman in mid thirties appeared. She was wearing a flowery dress. She asked me about something in German language. I couldn't fully understand her and asked what she wanted in English. First she asked me about price of the potatoes, then wanted me to show her when the checkout is. I led her to that place - there was a really long crowd. She slightly pushed me into the crowd and we made our way to the checkout window. A short haired, blonde dude without one eye. I was angry at him for some reason, started shouting and tried to punch him. Then the security appeared and thrown that dude out, as he wasn't even hired in that place. I led the german woman to checkout and went back to my shopping. It was really late already so I went to potatoes stand again, but then I heard that the shop is about to close. I went to checkout assistant and paid 0,5 PLN for whole shopping - which due to helping the woman was limited to a few bread loaves. Then I checked my pocket and realised that I don't have my phone. I asked workers if they'd let me inside for a little longer so I can find it. They agreed and I wandered the dark shopping mall. I found a Samsung phone, but it wasn't mine. I turned on flashlight in it and searched again. When I found nothing, I decided to leave the mall and get back home. A walk through doorway was enough to bring me back home. I turned on that phone.
    9. [ZADMOS] DHL- Venomous Snake

      by , 07-15-2016 at 11:40 AM (Mika's Dreams)
      I'm in what seems to be a dimly lit guest room with two beds. I'm on one of the beds trying to get some sleep while my brother keeps complaining about something. He also speaks directly to me wanting me to answer his questions. I tell him : " Seriously, if you won't stop in a minute I'll make you stop." I think about telling him " 1. You tell me what's bothering you, 2. You keep quit and go to sleep or 3. You continue and I won't speak a single word for you tomorrow." I then tell him exactly that, except when I get to the third option I suddenly start to stutter and feel extremely tired. I just lay down and let everything pass through me. I'm beginning to have an odd feeling about the situation and suddenly I'm starting to become paralyzed as I'm now laying on my back. I can faintly see a half moon shaped black object on the wall. I become lucid and I know what is going to happen. There's an intimate moment between me and a DC that lasts about a minute before I start trying to get out of the current dream plot. I get up, but suddenly something weird happens. I lose lucidity and I observe a girl laying on the bed from where I just got up, and a friend of hers is messing around with her sleeping body while she is trying to lucid dream. I think to myself " How can someone do something like that?" I get my answer quickly as I see her speaking really loud on her sleep. Shes mumbling : "One, two, three, four, five, six ...." and her friend imitates her while holding her head between her hands while squeezing her cheeks together giving her puffy lips.

      I can see the black object again and I regain my awareness. I then get out of the bed and I'm now alone in the room that has gotten darker after the first two minutes. I rub my hands together continuously as I make my way to the corridor of the hotel. At least that's what I presume what the building I'm in is, a hotel. The dream is stabilizing and my vision is getting more in-tune with the dream world. The corridor is really dark and the only light visible is from another room right next to the one where I left from. There's a stairway on the left. I go towards the other room. I suddenly feel my body rubbing against the odd clothing I'm wearing. I'm naked, and the only thing I'm wearing is a bathrobe. That's kinda weird, but I don't let it bother my mind and I carry on. I go into the room and I find that it's an office space of somekind and the light is coming from behind closed roller curtains. I can see a clear and bright day from between the curtains and I get really happy. I roll one of the curtains up and suddenly all of them are up. I decide to make another reality check by looking at my hands. My left hand is missing the three middle fingers and I have no fingers nor palm at all on my right hand. Uhm actually nevermind I don't want to look at them anymore heh. Then I go see in what kind of a dream world I'm in. I look down from one of the many windows and there's a big lake and a sunny beach some 30-meters below. I think to myself " How on earth am I going to get down there?" I take a few steps back thinking my options, but I just shrug it off and I decide to go with the usual method. I run towards the window and I phase through it and I immediately glide to the roof. Easy. The roof is plated like it always is when I use this method. There's some people hanging around on the other end of the roof, sitting and talking. My friend appears and he tells me :" There's a giant wave of fat coming from behind you." I expect it to be true and I look behind me. There's more than a hundred meters tall wave of blobby fat coming towards us from behind some mountains. I look back to my friend with the " I got this " kinda look and he asks :" You think?" I can see the shadow of the wave on the roof. I make a door appear.

      For a second I'm again on the bed seeing the black object on the wall. Then I'm back on the roof with the people and my friend gone. I decide to get down. I see a ladder and without hesitation I take a hold of it's right side bar and I jump down. I slide down and make it to the sand and feeling it under my bare feet stabilizes the dream really well. I have clothes now I presume. I think about what to do with the dream now and I make my way to the edge of a nearby forest. On a trail there's a man with two or three children walking and I remember the DHL's Snake-task. I go up to them and right then a red snake slithers from behind a tree towards the kids. They scream and jump and I try to cut the thing's head off with my hand by hitting the ground. I miss, but the snake gets scared and tries to flee, it is really fast. I remember my super speed ability and with a few steps I catch it. It tries to dodge my punch, but I'm way faster than it is. There's a small blast sound as I hit the snake and the snake turns into a worm. Victory! I count out loud : " Two Points, double that plus one. Five points!" I get so happy and I smile. I go to the man and his children again. I can't remember the other tasks so I ask them : " Hey guys, do you happen to remember what the other (green) task was?" They ponder and the man says: " Hmm, I guess the task was about a turtle." ...No. I falsely remember it to be a raccoon or some other animal similar. I decide to ask the dream itself directly. I look up to the sky behind the tree line and ask : " Dream, what was the other task of this month?" There's a voice of a middle aged man that answers .... : " Read the book of "Horo Poro" " and the voice starts to laugh. I can't help but laugh ( with myself basically ), because the answer is so ridiculous. I say :" That was a pretty good one, tell me another one." The voice that has taken the shape of blue and white ball shaped clouds dancing in the sky answers, but I can't remember what it tells.

    10. 16-07-15 Sikh Joke, Wizards and Lucid Flying

      by , 07-15-2016 at 11:17 AM
      I was outdoors, and saw a concrete building. There were metal stairs leading to a door, a few meters up. Inside, there was a very deep pit to the left, with a square pillar in the center (like an obelisk, but with flat top). A ledge right in front of me led past the pit, to another flight of stairs and another door. I have memory of having been in that pit quite a few times, but no idea why. In one instance, I was thrown in by accident. I tried to prevent going to deep, but said f*ck it and let it happen. I fell in, and fell fast (terminal velocity, the pit was hundreds upon hundreds of feet deep), and had to "brake" by wrapping my arms around the central obelisk and squeezing hard - like how elevator brakes work. I reached the bottom, which was just sand. Even in the dream, I could not really remember HOW I got out every time. On the way out (later in the dream), I imagined climbing out, hanging on to ledges with my hands, but it didn't feel like I actually did this. I saw a bunch of (white) guys dressed up like Sikhs (turban and all). They went up the stairs and into the room, which I knew was occupied by actual Sikh. They were playing a somewhat racist joke on them.

      I went into the room as well. In the next "scene", I was in the room, standing by two British (?) people by a long bar table. A bit further along the table was an American girl, a cute blonde, and another woman of whom I suspected was her mother. She was talking, but even though I understand English, I could not understand a word she was saying. Her pronunciation was terrible. I think there was another, dark-haired girl behind me in the corner.

      At some point "we" left again, through the previous room with the pit. Now we were a bunch of guys again, I think already dressed up like wizards (stereotypical hat and all). Past the pit, the last bit before the exit door was a kind of wood planks, quite high above the ground. I didn't trust the other guys, as I fully expected them to play a cruel prank on me. As we walked over the planks, we could see they were half sawed through, so they would break under our weights. It didn't work.

      Back outside, the landscape was beautiful. It was a forest at autumn (falling leaves, red/orange colors). The other "wizards" had left through an alternate exit, as we did not trust each other. I remember the ground being muddy. I made eye contact with the other two, and thought/said something. A bit later, I was going through the forest, and randomly decided to take off. I jumped, and as expected did not come all the way down. I looked up, and slowly flew up. There were branches of the trees in my way to the sky, but I somehow remembered phasing in a previous dream, so I phased through them. I heard the cheers of the "wizards" below me, which boosted my confidence. At some point I started losing altitude again, but I said quietly to myself "higher, higher", and fully expected it to happen. It did, I finally rose above the trees and flew off. As I was flying, I became aware of the dream (I think). Either way, I remember being surprised about the realism of the dream, how "clear" everything looked. I looked at my hands in mid-flight at studied them more carefully. Every detail, down to the pores and grooves in my skin was simulated. Amazing. At some point, I started fading. My sight became blurry, and I knew I'd soon be booted back to reality. I remember the trick of "looking at your hands" to restore stability. I tried, but could hardly see them anymore because of how blurry my vision was. I gave up, and looked forward - everything got very, very blurry. And suddenly, out of nowhere, my vision cleared, and I was flying at very high speed at low altitude over the canopy of the autumn forest. I recognized it as a "scene change". I noticed a white, double-rotored helicopter (like a V22 Osprey) flying by. Somehow, I felt they were hostile. I "stopped" mid-air, and changed direction to fly towards them. As I engaged the target, I got a vision of a turret on the helicopter locking on to me and opening fire. Before I got a chance to continue the dream, my vision went black and I was awake. Bummer.

      Notes:

      There's a memory of an entire section of dream that appears to "run parallel" to the part with the pit. There was a "platformer" section in a building with bizarre architecture (extremely tall interior hundreds up feet up, platforms and rooms built into the walls). Was this above the pit? Perhaps this is how I ended up in the pit the first time? Either way, I remember thinking about fitnessing, and how it might actually be fun to try and lose weight. Talk about reality interfering with the dream.

      Additional dream: I was somewhere in Eastern Europe, walking through a quiet, green neighborhood. I had to remember where I left my car, I think. I walked a path next to the houses, and had to walk under some kind of tent...? I some point, I saw a sexy woman laying on the ground, making out with a guy. I knew she was a hooker, somehow. I knew I wanted in on that action. Without thinking, I went to her and got her attention. The other dude pretty much vanished as I focused on her. I tried to kiss her, but she didn't want to. I gave her the "innocent puppy" look, until she seemed more cooperative. I caressed her bare belly (yes, I've got a thing for bellies) and told her I'd pay her 200 bucks or something like that.

    11. 2016-07-15 LD#191; crazy kitchen, movie theater labyrinth; shark, guitar, pirate ship, bday/BJ

      by , 07-15-2016 at 09:26 AM
      early:
      +(f) in darkened room, computers up high on top of cabinets

      + [vivid, long] crazy kitchen: clean pot won't get clean black spots, scratched frying pan, dining room, re-arrange kitchen, multiple dining rooms, toasters, book-ends(?), pencil sharpener not working right

      + movie theater labyrinth, crooked movable hallways that the staff spend time re-arranging to change the shape of the theaters, pressing buttons to see the preview outside the theaters, have to pee, come to lobby to avoid the gorilla guy (overheard), in another strange kitchen with large combination gas cooktops/urinals

      Awake, check email, BTS tough, use Holecek visualizations to step down into sleep successfully, more dreams:

      + people in parking lot, go inside, sit at table in restaurant, I'm feeding plates to a girl on the couch on the right, she takes a bite and passes the plate back to me and I pass them back to the left, she eats a piece of shrimp from one of the plates and I see the little tail/meat stub remaining as I pass the plate back.

      + playing and singing the chorus to "Wild world" by Cat Stevens on the guitar and playing the riffs well

      +(f) get on a bus that is flooded and I"m worried a bit about avoiding the sharks in the water.

      + take off on a pirate ship after convincing the captain to go with our people as crew, hit by 100 foot tsunami breaking right on top of us, wake up thinking I should have laid down on the deck to avoid the tsunami's slamming us down and damaging our heads, applying/peeling bandages, captain angry

      + LD#191 starts with picture of "me reading in my room" after other rooms are all busy (with the needs of a new baby in the family?)
      wife snoring in pink bed in pink room, leave, go to snacks room which is parent's bedroom in CH, eat an egg-shaped cookie and worry about recording the calories for it in MFP, step out on deck, there's a chaise lounge laid out for sleep there, which is a bit surprising, then I look out and see very colorful festive buildings just off of the deck and say/realize "in dreams, the buildings can be very close". There's a birthday party going on in the colorful home, I grab a girl and bring her back into my room for a short session of fun and I wake up/transition while counting to 10.

      Lucidity weak but I'm counting it .

    12. Shared dreams/ 2nd dream with him

      by , 07-15-2016 at 08:47 AM


      2.This one was when I was 21. I started off walking on a dirt path with a group of adventurers, we were looking for a vial of something, I walked off the path and into the forest, and down a hill. As I reached level ground I realized that there were land mines under the soil, I stepped back and forth across the grass avoiding the land mines, entering into a small tower next to the city gate through a hole in the wall I found the vial and tossed it over to one of the other adventures, but I couldn't remember where all of the land mines were and the group took off. I remember feeling abandoned but it didn't seem to bother me. As I stood there an idea popped into my head to use a zipline, it appeared next to me stuck into the wall and led out past the dirt path. I sensed the presence of another person in the dream someone real, they didn't feel like the characters that my mind had made up, he came whizzing down the zipline I remember him offering to pick me up and carry me through the portal with him but he didn't say it he thought it, of course I was too stubborn so I mentally replied no and instead thought that I would follow him, as we were on the zipline going up hill I began having trouble my mind was fighting over the fact that I was defying physics by going up hill on a zipline and I dropped off so that I wouldn't slide back down. I was bummed, I know that I wouldn't be able to follow after him, he was going to fast so I looked into the portal, nearest my mind could make of it was that it looked like some sort of amusement park like the best one I had never seen. Right before I woke up I looked around and everything was more vivid in color, the colors were so saturated that it made the trees, grass and ground look almost cartoonish. Then when I awoke I played the dream back in mind I realized I had been dreaming with another person the same guy I shared a dream with when I was little but he was older this time like me, and then funny thing is he was wearing an archers outfit. I could tell it was him by his blue eyes, brown hair, and fair skin.

    13. Two Stages At Once: Fully Aware

      by , 07-15-2016 at 03:42 AM
      I laid down to take a long deserved nap. I felt myself going into paralysis, but accepted it anyway. (I would rather be lucid, but sometimes I learn a lot from this stage) Anyhow.. I was with someone, I think knew who it was..I was obviously laying in the bed next to the person, but because I was not lucid yet I could not turn my head to see a face.. I would try but I could tell I was going to wake up doing so. So.. I accepted the fact I was in bed with someone ( a man, typically what happens to me when I am not concentrating on LDing and I am in paralysis)..twitching.. I tried to figure out who this person was.. some abnormalities connected me to certain people I know. BUT the thing that was weird was..as I was in and out of going into a LD.. it was my first fight to stay out of it..so somethings I wanted to do happened..and other things did not. It is a stage I am not accustomed too. Usually I feel the body sensations of paralysis as I glide into an LD, This was far different. As i was fighting both of these feelings, I started to feel dominated by that feeling. Then a sharp pain.. then I decided to give up and let the paralysis take over. Whoever this person was that I was trying to control, took control of me. It was a mixture of pleasure, but mostly pain. I knew the person but could not control it to find out, so that fear lead to pain.;

      Wondering if what occurred is normal, or if anyone would like to share a similar story. Should I just not fight anything, or explore my mind,

      Dream On

    14. 16-07-14 Pennywise & Fallen Angel

      by , 07-15-2016 at 12:43 AM
      A fragment occurring before the 'main' dream featured classic Doom gameplay. It's possible I'm confusing this with a real memory - I watched a Doom video on the tube yesterday. Or maybe it did happen, and it was based on that.

      The main dream, then. I was in a strange room. Possibly with someone else. Weird things were happening to the wall, as if reality was being 'bent', and I knew it was Pennywise the clown - a very common monster in my psyche. I approached it, and fully expected it to show its horrific teeth and attack. A bit later, Pennywise had a partner in crime, a woman I recognized as a 'fallen angel'. As I actually do rather often, I tried to reason and bargain with the monsters, instead of fleeing (not that fleeing was possible). I asked the woman why she was doing this. She opened a cabinet or small vault (not sure), in which I saw a dead newborn baby (not full-grown), with the umbilical cord still attached - in a pool of blood and/or water from the womb. She explained that human doctors had done this to her, and this is why she wanted all humans dead. I kind of understood her anger, but wanted to argue that the crimes of a few do not condemn all. But before I could do this, I woke up.

      I woke up from a non-lucid dream but didn't have time to write it down or try & remember many details. My stomach has been messed up all day. Think I got a touch of food poisoning from Taco Bell, lol.
