    1. 2017-08-08 Saw my chance for DEILD, fell asleep

      by , 08-09-2017 at 04:24 AM
      I woke up 4 or 5 hours in probably, right after a dream I think. Immediately I was seeing HI, and tried to relax and let that go by, but I my normal attempt to relax was too relaxing and I just fell asleep. Was encouraging though to find myself at that point. I don't remember the dreams I had, but they left a good impression.

    2. Doing much of nothing

      by , 08-09-2017 at 02:41 AM
      I haven't written one of these lately. But decided to give this ago again.

      Last night 8/7/17:

      Rolled out of bed in dream mode to become lucid. The minute I roll out of bed in dream mode I am lucid. I go over to my wall and practice becoming part of the wall. I do this several times. (kind of like odo does on Star Trek but with out becoming liquid). I get board and decide to go out the window. I fly around for most of the dream. Then wake up. I go back to sleep a dream a lot of dreams about work (working in computers and laptops).

      Game of Dreams – Of Weddings and Bullies

      Daenerys: I am at a wedding, a big outdoor wedding. I realize I am getting married, but that can’t be right… I don’t see Altaïr anywhere. I want to marry Altaïr. The man beside me is a large and strong looking man with black hair down his back in a braid as long as Sephiroth’s hair with small bells hung in it. He is speaking a language I don’t understand, not paying attention to me. And I’m supposed to marry this guy? My brother is sitting below me on a hill and glaring up at my periodically. There is food and drink constantly brought to me and I eat nervously. Some men fight over a woman and one of them dies, everyone accepts this as normal. Then there are lots of gifts. Some slaves (I don’t want slaves!), some cool looking books, three egg shaped stones they say are dragon eggs, and the man I married gives me a beautiful silver horse. He lifts me easily onto the horse and I ride her around a bit. I immediately love that horse. Now it is time to go? My asshole brother grabs my leg too roughly and says I had better please my new husband or I will wake the dragon like never before… I see no dragon! I kick my leg to shake my brother off and tell him he had better stop being an asshole or I’ll shove his face up a dragon’s ass! He looks surprised and asks what has gotten in to me.

      I ride my horse after my new husband. We find a spot and I know he wants to have sex… but I don’t even know this guy! I don’t want to have sex with him! I expect he will just start violently having his way with me, but instead he starts caressing me, being gentler than I’d expected from the way he acted at the wedding. But I still don’t want to have sex with him! I’m crying and he pauses to brush the tears from my face and say the word no. No as in don’t cry? No as in don’t be scared? I’m not sure… And I don’t have to do any more because the dream ends.
      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Sansa: I am riding a horse outside under bright blue skies. The skies look bluer than I ever remember seeing them. I am not alone, there is a boy, Prince Joffrey, riding beside me. My first impression is that he is an asshole… but I think better of calling him that. My next thought is he is a prince I am supposed to marry… but I don’t even know him, though I guess I should give him a chance. We ride through a forest, exploring here and there. Joffrey seems like a decent guy, I’m not sure why my first impression was that he’s an asshole. We keep going and soon find a couple of children playing with sticks as if they were swords. This is where Joffrey shows his true colors.

      Joffrey gets off his horse and shows me why I thought he was an asshole. Joffrey starts making fun of the boy for beating on a girl. The girl is my sister, Arya. The boy drops his stick and kneels before the prince, but that does no good. Joffrey pokes at him with his sword and tells the boy to pick up his stick and fight like a knight. I tell Joffrey we should just leave these two alone. Joffrey says this boy was beating my sister, we can’t just leave. He pokes the boy’s cheek and draws blood, saying he won’t hurt the boy… much. That’s when chaos breaks loose.

      Arya attacks Joffrey with her stick to keep him from hurting the boy. Joffrey turns on her and attacks viciously, breaking her stick with his real sword. The boy runs into the trees with no thought for Arya’s safety. A wolf comes flying from the trees and clamps down on Joffrey’s arm, making him drop his sword. Joffrey cries out and says to call the wolf off, which Arya does. She looks at his mangled arm and says the wolf didn’t hurt Joffrey… much. Arya picks up Joffrey’s dropped sword and throws it unceremoniously into the river nearby before chasing after the boy with her wolf going after her. I go to check on Joffrey’s arm and he gets pissed at me. I tell him it’s his own fault for being a bully. He says he’s going to tell his mother, I resist an urge to slap him. I tell him not to be such a baby, I can fix his arm. I grab his arm and focus healing energy through it. The bite heals completely, much to Joffrey’s amazement. But he doesn’t thank me, he scoots away from me and says I’m a sorceress and then runs off into the trees. What a loser… Everything fades.
    4. November 17, 2014 | Wolf, Store, Forest, Cliff, Web Grid, 12th Doctor, Fight

      by , 08-08-2017 at 10:37 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1-This entire dream, I was a wolf. It started in a store with a gray floor, light gray walls, isles on one side, and floored objects on the other. I was sneaking around the floored objects to avoid being seen by anybody. However, I was seen by a guy that was lying down on the floor, trying to look for something, I guess. I then grunted, and quickly made my way outside. Once outside, I began to run at high speed through trees and grass. For some reason, everybody from the store was chasing me, and one of them was armed with a machine pistol, which he fired a couple times.

      After roughly 20-30 seconds of running, I came to the edge of a ‘cliff’. It was more like a steep hill, so I thought that I would return to it as an escape route if all other options proved to be undesirable. To the right of me was a forest slightly downhill. I started to run alongside the pseudo-cliff until I got to a ledge overhang that was too high to safely jump off of. Just then, the people caught up with me, so I was trapped. Fortunately, they didn’t want to kill me, but I still wanted to get away from them. As a result, I jumped off the ledge to my death. I clicked respawn, and woke up.

      -2-This dream started with a hole in the wall closed off with a rectangular piece of fabric and a zipper. Opening the zipper, I crawled through the opening to find a room with a step ladder and unfinished walls. Above the same ladder were some paths(3 of them). I can’t remember which one I took, but eventually I found a similar room with a step ladder. After observing this room, I headed back to hallway from which I originally entered.

      Suddenly, the 12th Doctor showed up and told me to reopen the crawlspace, because apparently something was following him. This time, I closed the zipper behind me, and we ventured on. First, we came to a small room that had clean, vertical cobwebs, all exactly the same length spread across the ceiling in a perfect grid.

      Next, we found ourselves in a church with no chairs, and Link fighting with something against something. The Doctor said that we needed to fight with swords. Eventually, the small creatures we were fighting ran away into a room in the northeast corner of the main room, which turned out to be some sort of medical room. The two creatures jumped up onto the beds. Neither of the nurses/doctors suspected that anything was wrong.

      Sabbath, paperwork, level and boar shovel



      It was a dark afternoon and the evening was close. I escaped from my house, a big, victorian mansion in suburbs of some big city and took a bus to it's centre, thinking about why I escaped from there. I realised that I did it because my sisters literally were witches about to have a sabbath. I had enough of their magic for some reason. Taking a walk around dark streets, I entered some shop and searched for stuff that I could defend myself with. More people entered the shop, they were my friends and tried to help me to stop witches from destroying our house or doing something even more horrible. We convinced checkout assistant to fortify the shop and set up a safe spot there, but I knew that I'll have to go back house sooner or later.

      Suddenly I found myself in some office. I had to fill in some forms taken from lobby downstairs and follow a spiral staircase upwards. I had to dodge opening doors once, as some woman was leaving her office and accessing the staircase. I finally reached the office I was meant to leave my papers in, only for clerk to tell me that I need to fill in some more forms. I had to go back down and up three more times to get all the paperwork done, then left the office. I was summoned by my witch-sisters back to our house - they were flying on their brooms, tearing through walls and shooting beams of energy from their walls that blasted holes in it. It was a ceremony of destruction during their sabbath.

      My perspective changed for a while and I saw myself working on a level for a video game. I said "Now, that's a great idea!" and imagined myself how the level looked and played out. The player would start in an airlock from which it'd be able to access an interior of space station.

      Then I was in some ancient ruins deep underneath the destroyed mansion. I was a knight in full plate armor and I had some companions with me. We ran towards some altar on platforms hanging above lava and met my sisters. They wanted to kill us, so we defended ourselves and fought, eventually throwing all of them down to fiery death, awakening some kind of evil serpent-god. We battled with the monstrosity, killing it with arrows and swords. When falling down dead, it ripped a hole in cavern wall where I immediately jumped. My companions started shouting "Boar shovel!" and I raised something that kinda looked like a strange mix of battering ram and shovel. I started digging for unknown reason and mistakenly dropped one of my gauntlets to lava, yelling "My knightly gauntlet!".

      Then my perspective changed once again. I saw an arctic ocean with an iceberg. From underneath the deep, gray-blue water the evil serpent-god emerged and said "In the end, I always win!", my witch-sisters flying high above the serpent, leaving colourful trails on the sky.




      Outbreak, recalling dreams within dream, survival, facing new world, avatar powers and "semi-lucid"

      I left a bus and looked at, seeing my reflection in one of windows. I was a tall, muscular, bald man in black t-shirt and in jeans trousers. There were a lot of people in there, it was some kind of a FEMA encampment or factory turned into an evacuation shelter. Suddenly people all around became aggressive and started attacking each other, then anything that was even moving. I was defenseless, so I started showing zombies finger-guns and pretended to shoot them, which actually spawned real colt gun in my hands. I shot my way from courtyard and was about to get to safety of encampment. I saw some horrified dog running towards the entrance that was automatically closing during emergencies like this. I heard some voice saying "And then the death race to doors began! Who is going to make it? Him, or maybe the dog?" I started running after the dog, almost catching up to it, but the canine jumped forward in last moment - the gate closed, leaving me outside. The voice spoke again, saying "So the dog made it."

      I decided to look around. Looking at that place I thought that it could be a cool location for a game, and recalled myself a previous dream that I had. In that dream I was a stalker and there were several heavily fortified military fortresses behind my barn.

      Then I came back to the reality I was in - there was no way to enter the encampment, but I could see entrance to sewers nearby. I cautiously approached dark tunnels and sneaked through sewers to some supermarket in city centre, shooting undead on the way. I lost all my ammo, so I had to find some melee weapon. There was a long, thin pipe that I could use as a staff or bludgeoning weapon, so I picked it up and moved upstairs, meeting with other survivors. My younger sister was one of them. We moved to some abandoned shop overrun by zombies and cleared it. After clearing it, some cop came from nowhere and cuffed me. As he was taking me somewhere, my sister freed me and he started escaping. I chased him and smashed his skull with my pipe, then strapped it back. With other survivors we decided to leave all the stuff for later and moved to another store. It was a fortress made by other survivors. We surveyed the area when suddenly another cop cuffed me. Sister freed me again and I chased the cop, but he opened the way for zombies, so they could get inside the safe spot. We gunned down all the undead, but owners of the fortress died. With my group I moved to that store we cleared previously and started packing my backpack with foodstuffs. No one else was doing that however. I cautiously checked contents of every glass jar, taking many of those ready meals, and then we moved on.

      A map looking like it was made for a NES game appeared. I saw my group on it, inside ruined city. There was a small riverside town and a big metropoly. I saw roads with trucks and other vechicles of 20th century (as in, communism era). A voice said that this small town was forgotten, living in a shadow of a great metropoly ruled by evil dictatorship. Then I saw huge ant-like robots powered by steam marching through cities and that Poland was within one of destroyed nations. The last thing that the voice said is that one must defeat guardian of bridge to enter that little town. With my group of survivors we moved there and everyone except me went through bridge undisturbed. I was stopped by the guardian - a huge bear walking on two legs. I've seen it as if it was a sidescrolling NES game. I shot the bear with machinegun, curiously it shot arrows not bullets. When the animal retreated, I got to the city.

      Everything started to look like an animated movie, everything seemed to be drawn with pencil and coloured with crayons. Me and the group of survivors I travelled with had our new lives here. I was living with some family as they let me stay in their house. One day when we were having a breakfast, a group of lizards armed with spears busted into our house and were about to attack me. Instead of escaping, I called the powers of four elements and started blasting those lizards with them. I felt all the forces working on my body and gaining those powers felt as if this part of the dream wasn't meant to be and that I forced it. Everyone in the house asked in disbelief "Does he have avatar powers?" I blasted almost all of those lizards away, but two of them kidnapped father of the family. I burst out through wall and saw them far away, almost reaching mountain top in the distance. I tried to fly up there, getting high up to the sky, but I fell down on the road and made a small crater in it. Several more attempts of flying, I could feel something stronger than gravity pulling me down, but there were no more craters on landing. I got to the mountains, but there were no traces of anyone. Suddenly I received a vision of myself. I was in despair, as I couldn't link great fires after the bell toll and let dictatorship grow strong. Suddenly the kidnapped man appeared and said "That's what I was trying to make you recall."




      Damn, writing down those convoluted dreams took much more than I thought it would. Empty spaces are for easier reading, those dreams actually had no breaks between each of "scenes".

      I was on a closed neighborhood which seemed to be calm, maybe in a town. It was night and i was walking around outside, between the houses. There seemed to be no streets there, so the backyards of the houses were all connected: they had a small personal backyard and beyond that it was forest or just common property. I entered a house and inside i see a school teacher. (I've finished highschool 5 years ago but i still have dreams related to that. However the later dreams i have had i had more freedom of choice, so i kinda did what i pleased even though i thought i was still a student in the school.) I decided that i didnt want to deal with him, so i went through the door i came to the backyard. I looked to my right and there were more teachers gathered, like having a party. I didnt want to go there or get involved (It seemed like a school party), so i looked to my left and i saw a woman with long black wet hair covering her face, just standing there close to the forest but still on the houses common backyard. I made a little pause to make a decision. It was just a quick thought of "is this what i want?" and in less than a second i realized and thought "i definitely don't want to go to the party, (unconscious: but that woman is scary) so ill just walk over here not bothering the woman either and ill be fine." So i started to walk towards east, just to get away from there (from the teacher i met inside) and as soon as i was in a straight line towards her this woman rushed towards me, grabbed me by the shoulders and pushed me trying to push me to the wall. I had her face right in from of mine, like 5-10 centimeters away and she looked ugly, she actually didnt look alive although she was fully fleshed. I just forcefully tried to keep her away from me but the dream didnt last for too long. I woke up scared but i went back to sleep calm knowing it was just a nightmare.
      Tbh i dont know how i could have dealt with her if i continued dreaming... i would have wanted to beat her but also i would have to defend myself if she continued attacking me. Maybe if i was lucid and without fear at all i would have tried to tie her up and see if she was still aggresive then i would leave her, if not then i could have taken her to where she belongs if she was lost, or i would have helped her.

    7. August TOTM - Moon; Past life; sx

      , 08-08-2017 at 06:48 PM (Turquoise Dreams)
      Last night bed around 8 pm

      WBTB 2:14 am - 4:11 am

      2:41am - 3x 300 alpha GPC (300 more than normal 600 dose)
      4:11am 8mgs Galantamine

      I was really sleepy and ready to fall asleep just on time, about 15 min into taking GM, 2hr 45 min into taking GPC.

      But dangit, had to get up 4 times, every time when I was on the verge. I got pissed (and I realized that I shouldn't have, because no problem is big enough to put me in bad mood and nix my WILDing chance). So I just said ef it and laid on my side, knowing that I had WILDs here as well, so I knew I can still do it. I just couldn't lay on my usual WILD position on my back with pillows anymore.

      So I finally fell asleep just as the GM was one hour into it's effect, on the top of it, and so was GPC, at it's peak at 3 hrs after taking it.

      I was in a dream in some situation 100% sure I'm not dreaming. To prove it to someone, I counted my fingers. There was 6, then 8, then over 10. I realized I'm dreaming.

      Started walking around and remembered the Turn the Moon blue TOTM. Looked for the Moon, but didn't see it, again. So I remembered some personal goals I set my intent on doing during WBTB. I turned around thinking - behind me is my past life. I looked, but I don't think it was behind me. When I turned back in front of me, there was a distant scene. All lit in deep blue, silver, black illumination. Almost like light through blue ice. 5-6 steps, made of stone, very long ones. Like leading to a throne. 3-4 warriors were standing on those stairs. Dark looking, scary, ominous. Holding spears. Reminded me of those frozen warriors from Thor movie, that Thor went to fight to their frozen planet.

      I turned away thinking it's too scary and no way I'm gonna explore that. But next second I changed my mind and got excited about my decision to actually go there and see if it's really dangerous, or if some adventure awaits. Since I learned that not everything that looks scary actually is and it's good to overcome your fears. (I'm also doing this in my lucids when I'm exploring houses.)

      After this, I found myself in some sexual situation. I was already losing lucidity here, so majority of this was in a non-lucid.

      Some private house, getting ready for a sx party. Closing curtains and such, undressing. Lots of preparations. Not sure if it even got to any action. I know someone was there whom I knew, and rules were that if that happens, you can leave, coz that's awkward. But that person happend to be my boss in WL and they said No, I can't leave. Lol, being screwed over at work is translating beautifully into my dreams, haha.

    8. Game of Dreams - A Fall and A Healing Touch

      2017, 08-07

      Game of Dreams - A Fall and A Healing Touch

      Bran: I am playing a virtual reality game of Assassin’s Creed. I am in a medieval setting and I know my goal is to make it to the top of a broken tower. I climb a tree to reach the roof. I make my way across the rooftops, jumping and climbing with ease. I reach a stretch with a row of stone gargoyles just perfectly placed to swing from one to the next like on a child’s jungle gym. I swing from one to the next and then I hear voices from what I’d thought was an empty part of the castle. I get closer and hear a man and a woman talking about getting rid of the hand of the king, I immediately think they’re talking about my father! I swing to the gargoyle over the window and hang upside down to see who the culprits are, I’ll need to know who they are when I tell my father. When I peek in the two of them are making out. I remember hearing the man call the woman “sweet sister” so that means brother and sister are making out… I make an involuntary sound of disgust. The man looks over and I recognize the queen! The man comes towards me, I try to climb back up but the gargoyle breaks and I fall, grabbing the ledge by the window. The man reaches for me and says to take his hand. Not a chance! I’m sure they don’t want this secret getting out! I try to move away from the window but I’m too slow… the man grabs me and pushes me out into open air, I fall into my bed and wake.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Tyrion: I am in a library. It is an old fashioned looking library with old leather bound books. I get up and leave the library. There’s a stairway going down outside. I hear people below talking about a boy who got hurt. A man calls the other as a prince, the prince sounds like a boy. The man says he wishes the injured kid would hurry up and die. The prince says it’s the wolf he can’t stand, the howling kept him up all night. The man says he could put the wolf down. The prince says there’s so many that the Starks would never notice. What a couple of assholes! I go the rest of the way over to them and respond to the boy’s comment that no one would notice the missing wolf. I say I’m quite sure the Starks can count to six, unlike some princes I could mention. It then occurs to me that the boy should go give his sympathies to the parents of the hurt boy. He calls me his uncle and says he doesn’t care about that boy! What an asshole! Someone should slap him in his ugly mug… so I do. He looks stunned then whines that he’s going to tell his mom! So I slap him again, making his cheeks a matching red. I tell him he can tell his mom all he wants, but first go tell the boy’s parents how sorry he is that their boy is hurt and emphasize if they need anything at all, the boy is glad to help. He runs off, I’m feeling quite satisfied as everything fades.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      John: I am in a stairway that seems to be leading up a medieval castle tower. I am going up to say goodbye to my brother, he has been hurt. I also know that he is actually my half-brother, and his mother doesn’t want me there. But I want to see my brother before I have to leave. I climb up the stairs more quickly and when I get to a door at the top I open it slowly. The woman is sitting in a chair beside a bed where my brother lies, unresponsive. The woman asks what I’m doing here, I say I’m going to say goodbye to Bran. She says I should leave. She gives me a dirty look that could curdle milk. I ignore her look and walk over beside the bed, on the other side from the woman. She says she’ll call the guards. I tell her to go ahead, I have every right to say goodbye to my brother. I go over and take Bran’s hand. He is so very skinny, almost skeletal. I see under the covers that his legs look like they’re bent wrong… didn’t anyone even bother to set the bones? I know it’s a medieval setting without a lot of medical knowledge, but really? I wish I could do something, something to heal him. I am focusing on healing him as I hold his hand. There’s movement under the covers. The woman gets excited and looks, but the movement stops. The legs look better now. The woman is talking. She says she prayed for this… she prayed to the seven that Bran could stay with her, that Ned would change his mind… she’s crying. I don’t know what else to do, so I say this isn’t her fault, she didn’t want him to stay with her like this… She gets mad at me and says she doesn’t need my absolution. I say of course she doesn’t… but she needs her own absolution, don’t blame yourself. Before she can respond I leave the room and everything fades.

      1:00am-9:40am
      My dream was about me being lonely again, and I chatted with a guy and cuddled and stuff when my parents weren't home. We exchanged letters, under the codename Midnight Sun. He had a wife, she found out and one morning I saw some nasty stuff written on our mailbox about me being a slut. Everyone around me disliked me, my brother refused to let me go outside and I felt like shit until I woke up.

    10. 2017-08-06 Distopian school and a time traveler

      by , 08-07-2017 at 09:45 PM
      If it wasn't a distopia, it was a pretty run down looking setting. Broken into two parts, but it's not so clear now. Was in some kind of school setting maybe. A old friend of mine was there, some type of emergency we were trying to get away from. Eventually it came out that he'd traveled from the future or something. I went into a building where a guy had me put something on my arm and said "This will break your arm, but it's okay," or something like that. I looked at my arm and part of it looked missing, then it hurt pretty bad. There was some talking about how maybe we weren't that good of friends. It was actually pretty long, but that's all I remember now.

    11. Tools under the Door, Starting a Fire, Tiny Cat

      by , 08-07-2017 at 02:07 PM
      Morning of August 7, 2017. Monday.

      Dream #: 18,494-02. Reading time: 2 min 40 sec.



      I am sitting on the floor near the southeast corner of the living room in the Cubitis house. The layout is different. My attention is on the front door and a fictitious area north of the kitchenette.

      I am aware of my father on the carport (though I do not see him). (My dream self does not remember he died in 1979.) He does not enter the house. He slides several objects under the door (which would have been impossible in reality). I see them as well as hear their movement. There are at least three open-end wrenches, presumably different sizes from a set. There are other items, like a couple of flat pieces of metal. I think he wants me to put them in the hallway closet, as he no longer has space for them in the shed.

      I have two irregular stones that seem more like crystals at times. Although mostly opaque, they sometimes seem transparent, becoming glassy when I tap them together. Some facets are reflective and shiny. They have a bluish tint for the most part, though I notice that one looks gold at a later point.

      I think I can make a fire. I strike one stone against the other, sometimes doing this when one is on the floor, other times while holding them. They sparkle, and some areas catch fire.

      Light gray tendrils of smoke and small flames are the results at least four times. I get a folded piece of notebook paper and hold it near one stone as I hit it with the other, and they burn for a time. The paper catches fire.

      An orange tabby cat no longer than my hand rests on my right near a burnt area of the floor. It moves a short distance from the smoke and flames. The small fire is close to it but does not hurt it. Its tail traverses an area of the floor that had burnt moments before. It does not show signs of fear or injury.



      Dreams are mainly a result of co-occurrence with the status of being in the dream state, resulting from subliminal environmental monitoring, enigmatic space, and autosymbolic waking processes.

      My dream self sometimes instinctually starts a fire to activate consciousness, a goal stemming from the status of being in the dream state (and being instinctually aware of being asleep), NOT a factor from waking life. My extent of dream control has no association with being “lucid.” My brief dream self identity is not a model of waking life identity. In this case, there is no recall my father had died. There is in other dreams, a factor unrelated to the implied time or any recent thoughts I may have held in waking life. It is because, in subliminal space, my dream self does not have practical access to either my unconscious mind (or its legitimate memories) or my real identity.

      This dream also includes wall mediation (another regular event of being in the dream state, NOT a cause from waking life status). A wall (and related features like doors, windows, and fences) is a concurrent virtual division of various levels of liminal space and enigmatic space, though is more likely with an environmental factor like less intrusive noise. The tools from under the door are another association with achieving consciousness, of which the preconscious (reticular activating system) is the foremost dynamic.

      The stones become transparent when closer to initiating consciousness (starting the fire) to remind me my dream is an illusion but still controllable by instinct.

      Cats sometimes appear with wall mediation (with many specific examples of this in my dream journal), as a virtual anchor in liminal space; and in childhood, a summoned virtual witness to the dream state when lucid. In this instance, the cat is a tiny version of Tiger (a cat from my childhood when I lived on 611 North Monroe Street in 1967). One of the photographs from this time features me sitting in front of the front door, holding him.

    12. Game of Dreams

      Game of Dreams

      John: I am in a large room full of tables and a lot of people. There is a procession of what look like VIPs going down the center aisle towards a raised table at the front of the room. First a stressed looking man with a distracted looking woman, then another woman with a really fat man, followed by a little kid on his own then two more pairs of kids, two boys and two girls. Next comes a nice looking man standing alongside a short guy that looks more like a dwarf than a human. But I don’t see any other races around so I assume he is a short human. And then a feast begins. I am eating various meats and breads and drinking a sweet wine when something brushes my leg. There is a wolf pup down there so I give the pup some of the meats. A man comes over and we start chatting about various details we have noticed. The name Uncle Ben comes to mind. He says they can use observational skills like mine in the Knight’s Watch. This idea immediately appeals to me, but in spite of the fact Ben is the one who brought it up, he keeps saying I can’t do it because I am just a boy. If I am too young then why did he suggest it in the first place? I get mad and then realize I’m making a scene and that gets me even more upset so I run outside. I see the short man from the procession earlier and he says he drank too much wine and it’s considered rude to vomit on your brother. I don’t want to talk to anyone right now so I keep going and then everything fades.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Catelyn: I am in a bedroom of what looks like it might be a medieval period. I am a woman, and I spot that immediately because I am naked. I am lying in bed naked while a man in the room is standing by an open window and apparently enjoying a cool breeze that is blowing in. He says he doesn’t want to leave Winterfell. I tell him if he doesn’t want to go just say so. A man knocks on the door with an urgent message, or so he says. The message is for me. I open it and at first it looks like gibberish, but when I look at it in a slightly different way I can see what it means. Ned’s (my husband) friend is dead, but he was murdered by the Lannisters. I tell Ned that is another reason not to go. He says this letter changes everything, now he has to go south with Robert to find out the truth of what happened to his friend. He says Robert may even be in danger. There is a bit more talk about where the kids will stay, he is expecting I will stay behind to run Winterfell while he’s away. I’m not feeling good about the conclusions we reach, but then everything fades to black.

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Arya: I am in a classroom working on arts and crafts. I look at my work I am not pleased. For some reason I have been sewing a very crooked line of stitches. I hear a group of girls not far from me whispering… about me? They say they were talking about a Prince who is so handsome and gallant. There is another group of girls with the teacher. I am sitting by myself as happened throughout my actual school years. The teacher comes over and looks at my stitching. She says it will never do. She says I have the hands of a blacksmith. The other girls are all staring, some are laughing… even my sister looks amused. I am embarrassed. I want to leave. I get up and head for the door. The teacher asks where I think I’m going. I’m mad about the blacksmith comment and I tell her I have to shoe a horse. I leave the room and slam the door behind me. I go down some stairs and find my wolf pup at the bottom of the stairs tied up. I untie her and decide to look around. I walk for a while and find a covered bridge with a boy gazing through a window into the combat training yard. I look there and see some kids practicing with wooden swords. One boy is saying he wants to use live steel, and another boy is saying to bring it on, but the instructor won’t allow it. I am still watching when everything fades.

    13. Oblivion Adventure! / Very Long

      by , 08-07-2017 at 12:10 AM
      August 6, 1:00am-5:00amI entered a room filled with doors in a circle, a lady was kind enough to clue me in to this careful arrangement into new lands. She said my Love had been trapped inside one of these planes of Oblivion, I was to take my time and choose which one based on how well I knew her. After this I would have a set amount of time to find her or get to the end, if at the end I didn't get her then I chose the wrong door and she was trapped forever. I was allowed to keep all loot I got from the area upon completion. However if I died, I was allowed to keep nothing and would be transported back home while my Love would be trapped forever in the Oblivion Plane. Seemed hard enough, the lady left and I was in a quiet dark room with the only dim light from the doors. I went around to each one and read what showed up, I tried to guess which one she might have gone into but it was hard and I narrowed it down to four choices out of maybe eight or twelve doors. Then I realised I had my phone and quickly used it to my advantage, scrolling through our chats to find one expressing her enthusiasm and joy for a gorgeous flower setting. I used this and chose the door that best said that, there was a door with the word flower in the three word description so I chose it. As soon as I had loaded in I turned back around and was joyed to find I could see the door and go back through it. I saved on my phone just in case and then took the time to look about.
      It was late day and although bright, the jungle area hid some of the sun. It was pretty much my old home infested with a jungle. I looked for clues on where to start walking and I saw a black thing out of the corner of my right eye. It was a person and a heavy one at that, with medium length black hair and a big black T-shirt. I shouted out to him and said hello, but he just stared and turned to go. I made a move to head towards him but he ran, I figured I could catch up but I really couldn't. He was running faster than any fit person I'd ever seen. In fact, I was beginning to doubt his existence at all when I turned a corner and he had disappeared. This irked me but I made no sign of showing it and instead walked further until I saw another man. This man was more friendly and I gladly told him of my situation. He seemed to know that people did this little run every once in a while, he even mentioned he decided to stay. But the only advice he could give was to climb the mountain behind him and look out to see if I find her. I wasn't keen on the idea but agreed just so I'd have a starting point. He gave a great big smile of approval which made me feel like I knew what I was doing and then he called over a woman I had not seen behind me. She was all like, "another one wanting to climb the mountain!" This made me reconsider my decision and instead I walked with them back to the house behind us, it seemed a safer bet. We stopped on the way to look to my right where a little girl was curled, like a cat, up in a big carved out part of a stone wall. She said other before me had taken their chances at this quest or task or adventure and they either failed mainly, or decided to stay. She said she decided to stay, like my other two friends behind me. Happy to make another acquaintance not wanting to run from me, I smiled and she smiled back. She smiled with a wide purple grin and in shock to me from what I did see, he face was now a cat. A Cheshire cat or rather thee Cheshire cat, the purple one you know from Alice in Wonderland. I thought it creepy but her face faded back to that of a girl quickly and I dismissed it. Instead of asking more questions we all headed into the house we had been headed toward, except now we had one more follower and a weird one at that.
      In my old home now at night, it was dark so we had the lights on and everyone was in the living room. To which I mean my three friends and myself, we actually had the curtains up so you could see the darkness outside which was weird. I was remembering the person I saw before and saw fit to bring it up now, "Are there any other people here?" I asked in genuine interest and with a slightly puzzled look. The woman who had offered to help me climb up the mountain nodded and quickly responded that there must be atleast fifteen or so. People who had gotten trapped or just chose to stay here, like they chose to stay. She seemed to wonder why I asked, so I was forced to explain when I first came I saw a person but they ran so fast I couldn't catch up and they disappeared. I think I actually attempted to say it was someone spying, but they denied it very hastily.
      About that time I got a noise from my phone and it lit up some light blue colour on the screen. I checked it instantly, well I tried to but the phone screen kept shutting off. I would later have this problem with saving as well. Anyway, it was from my love and she was telling me she'd find someone else. A guy, with blue eyes, scamp skin and long hair. I think it was meant to make me jealous but it just made me suspicious. Not because of the choice, her choice isn't the matter because she goes for both genders and I'm fairly certain she'd choose personality over looks. It wasn't that, but it was the fact that she chose someone new at all and especially in her situation. I brought this up to my friends and they seemed to believe the message and felt sorry for me, I was fast at assuring them that it must have been fake. But I was beginning to doubt even my "friends" because they seemed to go along with things too easily, I didn't understand how they couldn't see it but I didn't get the chance to. Around the time I was going to explain further, we heard something outside and went to investigate.
      Outside it was a bit chilly, or perhaps it was just me because I shivered a bit. The darkness made it hard to pick out anything, but above us we heard sounds of planes. Looking up into the sky, which seemed devoid of all stars, we saw two big planes swooping closer and closer and then in a circle and back up again as though to scare us. This time it was easier to convince my friends that it was clearly sent to our location to frighten us, I realise when I looked about it had gotten lighter and you could see more of the green jungle. In fact you could even see fire shooting up from the ground, I looked back up and the planes flew off. So I guessed someone was firing at us, this made us run and at a good pace too. We darted through the jungle followed by a few people and fire balls landing as near to our feet as they could get. We did manage to get away but as I darted into a an area with a little pond, I saw the Orc chasing me die to my right. I looted her body without a second thought, taking two books on dreams and leaving the rest which would be too much for me to carry. Two of my friends were fighting the rest off and failing, I dragged one with me out to a clearing and then realised my mistake when I saw a big Troll clambering toward us. I also didn't think twice when I looted me friend for food and ran, the Troll was busy enough with my friend to not notice my running away and behind a car that was just left nearby. Here I crouched and took some time to save using my phone. By that time the Troll was done with his meal and coming my way, he didn't seem to have knowledge of my being there so I waited. Once he came around though, I panicked a bit and did what I assumed might help. Yelling out a name I can't remember, pointing to the lake, seeing him follow my pointing like lightning and then being confused. Thankfully it was enough time for me to run, but I saw another person near the trees where my friend died and this guy was also a bit heavy but wearing white. I wonder where they got all the food from? This guy though, had attracted the attention of some short alligator species that looked harmless but hungry. The poor guy ran to me for help but I just jumped on a tree and start working my way up. The Troll chased away the Gators and fed on his new meal, while I hopped from tree to tree to get away.
      I found myself now in a store, I'm sure I fought my way into it. Everything has been a fighting and struggling, I'd be happy to have my reward now. I actually don't remember that girl dying so perhaps she escaped? Funny enough my guess will by answered quite soon. For inside this place was a back door and beyond that was a flower area, I do believe it was a flower shop. On the table I saw a box of seeds and I walked past it until it talked. I forget the words but it said what I had hoped to hear from my other friends, so perhaps something along the lines of nothing here is a coincidence and everything deserves to die. I asked if I could hug her, it sounded like a female, she agreed and I did so with much happiness for I felt here I had found a true friend. Such a true friend she was that she showed me a place near the table that I saw my cat, the one I pushed under the car when wounded to save before. He was dead and sprawled flat out on his stomach. I went to touch him and behind us appeared some sort of ninja warriors in black. Before I could register the attack, the box of seeds had disappeared and before my eyes was a young girl with a fierce look and wielding a katanna. She did somewhat look like the Cheshire cat girl from before, but this never entered my mind until after the dream. Anyway she took care of both of the attackers and I helped a bit of course, but my main blow was a slash from my knife that I have no idea where I got it from. I slashed a lady that looked like the eyepatch lady from Kill Bill, she even mentioned her eye but I didn't notice and cut her cheek as she ran away. I would have gone after her, but I was exhausted and instead took the time to praise my new partner for her killing skills.
      Once again without knowledge of how I got there, I found myself at a church atleast I think it was a church because it had priests. My new friend and I didn't hesitate to kill them of course. Because why would we question a few murders for no reason? Anyway I went upstairs, I was still using my knife and killed the last guy there. Then to my left I saw a tall woman perched, if I remember correctly she looked like a harpy but more human like. She said she almost mistook me for a vampire, Dracula, by the way I had been mercilessly killing things. I did look down to think that over but it seemed like she was going to fight me. So I guess I'd gotten sick of the game at this point, trying to find someone in a massive jungle based around your old neighborhood can be fun when pointed in the right direction. But I was now becoming like everyone else here, straying from the task so much so that it is forgotten and I just want to stay. So I pulled up an Oblivion command menu and killed her, then I used movetoqt to teleport myself to my Love. Who was in a cleared out part of the jungle, on a stand like she was a trophy. The lady who gave me this task was near and she pointed to a chest after congratulating me. I guess it doesn't matter if I cheat. I was able to choose a reward and I chose one that I thought suited us, myself and my Love, gloves named "Fingers of The Deep...or was it Deep Fingers?" Well I thought it was funny and It was one of the two anyway. After that the dream ended.

    14. Disneyland and Petulance

      by , 08-06-2017 at 09:47 PM
      Not much is remembered about last night's dreams. I will list two:

      1. Me and my sister were at Disneyland, just outside of it (it was smaller, just guarded by a gate and a few guards) and wanted to go in. We were acting like children. Our dad said no because we were in a hurry somewhere. However, he agreed to us going around Disneyland, as for some reason it was small enough simply to just walk around, all guarded by a chain-link fence. I was delighted to see the It's A Small World Attraction functioning [when I was younger in waking life, we went to Disneyland and I was disappointed the ride was not active, so I suppose this part of the dream is referencing that.]

      2. I don't remember much except me, for some reason, acting intensely childish and profane, embarrassing my sister as I just swear off random strangers passing by with hurtful insults (keep in mind I do not act this way at all in real life.)

    15. October 26-27, 2014 | Hot/Cold Planet, Sun Filter, The Doctor, Shuttle, Bomb, Goldeneye

      by , 08-06-2017 at 07:19 PM (Fantastical Adventures)
      10/26/14 | Square House Lot, Trees
      I moved into a house with a rather uncommon lot; it consisted of one line of trees for each side of a rectangle, arranged like the following figure. Surrounding the trees were miles of plains. If one could stand near the house and look around, they would see that all of the sky to the west was blocked by trees, most overhanging at the top so that 50% of the total view of the sky was obstructed.

      10/27/14 | Hot/Cold Planet, Sun Filter, The Doctor, Shuttle, Bomb, Goldeneye
      I was on a planet that used to be super hot until the sun was filtered by something. Then, the temperature rapidly dropped. Luckily, I isolated myself within four rooms of ice before the temperature reached levels of -100°F. Once that stopped, the temperature was disregarded, as I punched all the ice doors down and got out.
      [New Scene]
      Rory was suddenly already stuck on the planet for 3 years and was always leaving behind tons of paper with notes on othem. [from here, the Scene repeatedly flips between the planet and a highly populated building on Earth.] Inside this large building, I did some random stuff like talk to random people, and eventually my older sister. Back on the planet, the 11th doctor showed a planetary map with two parallel canyons that used to be the hottest place, now the coldest. With that, somehow the sun filter was shut down, and the planet became hot again.

      Somewhere else on the planet, local aliens were enjoying recreation in the hot weather, although they weren’t allowed to touch the ground, because of its abnormally high temperature compared to the surrounding air. Three juvenile blue aliens were using a plastic recreational tool. After one used it, he ran away on the hot ground. The others didn’t seem to pay any attention to him or the deer-like creatures walking into the scene. These looked rather like deer, except their fur seemed like that of a wolf’s, and their heads were closer to those of a velociraptor. On its head was this colored tool that seemed to be affected by temperature. Suddenly, this creature tripped and knocked its head into the superheated ground, making its head red and steamy. As a result, the tool on the creature’s head turned light blue, and began shooting out cold air, which apparently cooled its head down.

      Anyway, the scene changed into a tropical, high-density vegetation area. There was a path with some paper left by Rory. Later, we suddenly had a ship (a small ship more like a small shuttle) and some kind of bomb. [End Scene flips] The bomb said something like, “19 Seconds,” so The Doctor, my younger sister, Amy and I sprinted to the shuttle and flew out just in time. Too bad these two tiny, orange dudes fell out.
      [New Scene]
      My older brother and I were playing Goldeneye N64. The controls were surprisingly consistent for a dream. C-up was jump, C-down =crouch, B=sprint, Z=shoot. I didn’t have a gun, while he carried an RC-P90. All I could do was run up to him and use slap. Strangely, he ran away and through a new map we were playing on. For a moment, I looked at the radar(which had a 007 Legends look) before waking up.
