    1. Advanced TOTM Completed: Liquid Color

      by , 07-29-2018 at 04:25 PM
      I become lucid and remember the task, “Condense a color into a liquid, and drink it. Report the taste.” I look around for a good color to use. The walls are a deep red and I think about using that before I see a dark green Christmas ornament.

      I pick it up and throw it on the ground, smashing it into pieces. I sit next to it and use my hands to further pulverize it (it’s not sharp at all) until it’s a fine dust. I turn to a DC and ask them to get me a cup. They walk away, but I decide not to wait. I turn to my other side and see a DC holding a small cup. I take it and put the ornament powder inside. I will it to become liquid and drink it. Some of it is still powdery, but there are liquid parts. It’s sickly sweet and I don’t enjoy it at all.

    2. Planning a Trip to Easter Island

      by , 07-29-2018 at 11:22 AM
      Morning of July 29, 2018. Sunday.

      Reading time: 2 min 29 sec. Readability score: 71.



      In my dream, I am in an unknown location. There is one area where many unfamiliar people are sitting at picnic tables.

      Zsuzsanna is with me. I am planning on going on a long journey to other parts of the world. There is at least one thread of dream state awareness, though my dream self is not lucid. I remember that I can create whatever I want.

      I ask the group if there is anyone who wants to travel with me. A few seem doubtful, as I do not appear to be wealthy. However, I recall that I can produce unlimited amounts of money. Still, when I open my wallet to show a few different people, the bills are play money. Although the imagery changes several times, it is still play money. Each time, the notes are all identical other than when I take them out, and there are about four different types, which look like fake foreign currency.

      Despite my anticipation (subliminal RAS mediation), I am confident that things will go as I expect. Only one male seems cheerfully keen on joining us. I tell the people that one of the locations we will be going to is Easter Island. I say that I do not remember its name. (This, of course, makes no sense as I had spoken it.) I am thinking of a name like “Tahiti” or “Tahoe,” which I say to them as well, but I am unsure. They do not respond to my ridiculous state of absentmindedness.

      Zsuzsanna and I, and the other man walk near an unknown shopping mall. She is soon walking farther away on my left, and the man is walking farther away on my right.

      My dream changes and we are in a strange composite of the Arcadia post office, the Loomis Street house, the King Street mansion, and our present home. The orientation is mostly as the Loomis Street house, except the second storey mixes with the first.

      Toward the back of the house, I hear an unknown female voice scream, “Please…someone…help me!” It seems to have something to do with her baby in a pram nearby. That wakes me up. I am unsure if this stems from a subliminal awareness of Zsuzsanna not being home at the time which I did not know until waking up (and perhaps created by way of my own RAS model) or if it was a thread from the interconsciousness from an unknown person. Due to its realism, my guess is the latter, but I have no way of knowing who it was, at least yet.



      (When I had the vivid spoken words and event in a dream about a girl named Isabelle falling off a balcony, including her last name, I thought that was spiritual confirmation of using the name Isabelle for our daughter, which we did, as we had already considered it. However, someone with that full name fell from a balcony at that same time. I had already heard variations of the last name in dreams, Colman, but I was not familiar with it in real life. Our daughter was born on the 26th of November in 2012. This type of event has happened many times before, even with John Belushi and even with more insignificant dangers in contrast to death, such as the fuse box fire regarding my older sister Marilyn and the toaster fire at age four, regarding my sister Carol. I remain uncertain why I happen to be the one to perceive it, though with Zsuzsanna, her “sending” was strong long before we met in real life and determined to be intentional and a viable way of communication we still use, though less since she got her cell phone.)

    3. Dream - Donating Easter Eggs

      Date of Dream: SUN 29 JUL - 2018



      Dream No. 384 - Donating Easter Eggs


      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was at a place that looked like the older version of The Glen Shopping Centre. There were hoards of Easter eggs scattered around the entire corridors of the shops like it was an Easter egg hunt for children. There was also all these Easter eggs all over the place in baskets; a ridiculous amount of Easter eggs everywhere. At some stage, I was collecting all these Easter eggs from the floor and putting them into a basket of my own.

      A bit later in the dream, this woman comes up to me and asks for some Easter eggs, only I didn’t have my basket with me and so I said I would go and look for it. I looked in all the corridors for the basket and even in the shops but the odds were looking grim and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I came back to the lady, wanting to donate some of my eggs to her but I told her couldn’t as I couldn’t find the basket anywhere. She gracefully accepted my response. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

      Non-dream stuff: Woke up and got up at about 9:20. Remembered a few segments from the last dream I was having.



      Sequence 1:

      I was looking at an interface for picking a map in a real-time strategy game, for some sort of Command&Conquer game. I remember my partner being next to me and as I generated a random map with a "continental" style, I thought it looked a bit different and too small compared to most, but my partner said "no, have a look at the preview, it will be fine", so I clicked on preview and then my vision went into the screen and the map thumbnail image; as it zoomed in, the map became detailed and I viewed it from above but my vision kept zooming in closer and then there were 3 player factions, one being mine, another being my partner's, and the last one being someone else or an AI. We all started with some vehicles specific to our factions and the cars were racing through beaches and roads, with my vision still zooming now on a car I had, which looked a bit like something out of 1940s Germany, with white/grey colours and chrome accents. The AI had some military trucks, including one with a mounted gun, and they were chasing me and gaining speed, but I overtook my partner's cars and they blocked the chasing trucks a bit.

      I remember now seeing in first person, and the car was stopped near a road tunnel that oddly enough was just after an intersection with a main road and a road that went around a bend behind a hill. I remember it was a clear sunny day and there were tropical forests.

      Sequence 2:

      Then I was at an area with pavement in a town, this was an open area on or near a quay and was reminiscent of my native country; there were subway entrances and this was all still part of the game somehow, I felt. In one of the subway entrances some gangsters were running up the stairs with sub-machine guns and I threw grenades and rockets at them, watching them not blow into pieces but fly around with wonky physics, just as one would expect with most games. Their "AI" was also poor; they ran against walls and corners sometimes and just idled even though I was being aggressive. Then I noticed I had a toolbar thing on my interface and picked a massive plywood plank item, and placed it over the entrance; for some reason it was steady standing on its own and was large enough that nobody could pass; I read a little tooltip on the interface saying I'd recently placed a blocking barrier and could not do so again for 15 minutes, but that I could upgrade any existing ones to increase their duration; this barrier I placed was going to last for 1 hour, apparently. The people that showed up the steps from behind the barrier, that I could still see just over the top, looked a lot less threatening, and in fact some were complaining like "hey I gotta get to work, come on!". I pretended to not care.

      The dream ended at some point soon.



      Some notes:
      • Although I separated both sequences into their own parts, they were part of the same dream, I just can't remember what went between them exactly; I don't remember a sudden transition from one to the other.
      • The RTS map interface looked a bit like C&C:Generals and Warcraft 3; I remember the players had assigned colours and numbers, like for teams.
      • The other generated maps were more representative of real Earth continents, picked at random, but the one I thought was odd just looked like a coastal section of a place.
      • The fact that the whole of the sequences took place in a game context makes it very difficult for me to remember to question reality. Even when I am playing games in waking life and remember to do reality checks, it is difficult for me to pick good moments, i.e. weird ones, because games are generally very predictable and the only "weird" things that ever happen are bugs, the frequency of which depend solely on the specific game.
      • The vehicles in the RTS were supposed to be base-starting vehicles, so in a way I should have remembered to do a RC over this, because in the dream context, the dream-awareness indicated something different from what actually happened.
    5. Dream - Looking Everywhere For My Dream Guide & The Duplicate Logo

      by , 07-29-2018 at 09:53 AM
      Date of Dream: SAT 28 JUL - 2018



      Dream No. 383 - Separated Sections

      Dream 383 A - Looking Everywhere For My Dream Guide
      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was near my house but surroundings of the local area were unidentifiable to me. It was only a minor inconvenience that happened but I have forgotten the specific details of it; it wasn’t too disastrous that the dream was going to end any time soon. I decided that I wanted to call for Dreamy WB to see if she could help me.

      I walked around, calling for her but there was no response any time soon. Still, I persisted in trying to get her. I looked here, there and everywhere; around corners, over fences and even under bushes. This felt like the longest time in dreaming history that I was going, “Dreamy WB!”. At some points, I actually even feared that I was going to wake up without accomplishing her appearance.

      At one point, I came to my house too look for her and my brother was in there. At first, I hesitated to tell him that I was looking for Dreamy WB as I wasn’t sure what reaction I would get from him. After hesitating for a bit, I decided that it would be okay just as long as I didn’t reveal her identity to him. So then I said to my brother, “I’m looking for my dream guide” along with a few more words that I have forgotten. I said something in return and then went into the house.

      I now went back to frantically calling Dreamy WB, walking up and down the court as well as back into unfamiliar areas. When I got back into the driveway, all these random people started appearing and disappearing in the driveway and garage. Once again, I took my time to carefully filter through the crowd, unfortunately still not seeing any signs of Dreamy WB. Eventually though, an African woman does appear from inside the garage but I can tell that something is not right. She had extremely dark, black skin and I said to myself but out loud, “But she’s supposed to have brown skin”. This young woman looked nothing like a person from the Ethiopian division.

      The woman then disappeared and the driveway and entrance to the garage were deserted again. I was now stressing out over the fact that I couldn’t seem to get Dreamy WB. I even said to myself in a panic, “At this rate, I’ll be waking up!” while exerting a strong amount of will-power that the dream was not going to wake me up any time soon. “Not until I’m done”, I thought to myself, trying my best to subconsciously stay focused

      Just when all hope seemed lost, Dreamy WB had appeared out of nowhere, I was unsure whether she had come from the driveway, garage, or somewhere else. Her appearance was the year 12 hoodie which had more of a blueish tinge to it than its usual navy blue, but ashy look. She was also wearing her default black leggings and default white sneakers. Her hair looked like it had been straightened and was up in a messy and flattened bun at the top.

      So eventually, I got to tell her what the minor inconvenience was and what I needed help with. She was more stern in this dream but was still very gentle and friendly towards me. I then actually climbed up onto her from her front end and she looked awkward and baffled like what the heck was I doing? Her behaviour having some resemblances to the real WB. Not only did I put my arms around her but I also wrapped my legs around her waist, having my feet off the ground in this dream. Even though I got up onto her, something at the back of my mind was making me think that maybe she wouldn’t be able to support my weight, especially because I was hanging off her.

      Despite her small, slim and delicate figure, there was no hint of anyone about to topple over and rather, she looked as stable as ever. Although she still had the baffled look about her, she put her arms around my lower back and slightly pushed me up to be better locked in place. Then once she pushed me up, she gained more of a relaxed, nonchalant look about her and was now carrying me around effortlessly. While being carried, I perceived that pleasant bonding energy, especially in my stomach and chest area where I was leaning on her.

      My brother then spontaneously appeared back in the garage and that’s when I thought it would be okay for Dreamy WB to put me down for a while. This time, resembling the mind set of the real WB, Dreamy WB looked relieved when she was putting me down. With her now standing close by and listening, I told my brother about the previous minor inconvenience and he actually gave me some advice, although I have forgotten what that specific piece of advice was. He then took notice of Dreamy WB and mentioned something about her but once again, I have forgotten what he specifically said. The dream scene then changed, with only me and Dreamy WB being in the garage again.

      Dreamy WB was now standing in front of the door leading to the backyard, which was closed, and I was standing a couple of metres away from her. Weirdly, the dream made it so that from where she was standing, she made this movement with her arm that would then throw me like a projectile towards her. She mentioned something about carrying me again but this time, she had a nicer look about her. Unfortunately though, she missed and so I failed to latch on to her. She tried a second time and once again, she missed, with me bouncing off her legs and ending up on the ground.

      For her third attempt, I could tell that she was really trying and taking her time, trying with a precise aim. This time she was successful, with me landing against her upper stomach and so the dream latched me onto her straight away. So now my arms were back around her neck and my legs were wrapped around her waist as she carried me around in the garage, subtly smiling at me and occasionally bouncing me up and down by a millimetre or two. Once she carried me around the garage and then the driveway for a while, the dream ended.

      Dream 383 B - The Duplicate Logo
      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, there was mention of the Cooper Gang members. I was standing in my driveway when a sub-scene was playing, affiliating each of the characters to their profile logo. There was no doubt about sly, his character was attached to his logo. This was the same with Bentley where the dream was showing his green logo. But when it came to Murray, it wasn’t his logo and rather it was Bentley’s instead.

      The dream focused on my scene and I started speaking, stating that Murray’s logo was wrong and that it was rather a duplicate of Bentley. I sounded shocked and I wanted the problem to be fixed right away. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

      Dream 383 A is interesting as although it wasn't a lucid dream; at some stage, I must have known I was in a dream as I literally spoke about dreading a wake up before Dreamy WB's arrival.
