    1. Dream - The Right Appearance & Special Sly Game Cutscenes

      Date of Dream: TUE 31 JUL - 2018




      Dream No. 385 - Separated Sections

      Dream 385 A - The Right Appearance
      I don’t remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was in the bathroom and was checking out the light switch. One of the switches was for the bathroom fan but I was scared of turning it on as I thought it was going to be very loud. So instead, I started calling for Dreamy WB but there was no response. Like usual, I walked around the place while continuing to call for her… This time, around the rooms of the house.

      After ages of calling, people did start to appear one at a time but I knew they weren’t Dreamy WB and so I kept trying. There was this one person that looked like a likely candidate and so I accepted their claim for being Dreamy WB. They followed me into the bathroom and once they were in there, I could tell their features had slightly morphed from how they were before… This person was now no doubt Dreamy WB, although her hair was a slightly redder, rustier colour than normal.

      She put her arms loosely around me and gestured upwards with her head, encouraging me to flick the switch. The fan was indeed very noisy, making me feel uneasy, but she tightened her arms and now hugged me against a wall, attempting to calm me down. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

      Dream 385 B - Special Sly Game Cutscenes
      This dream started off with me being in the MYER of an unknown shopping centre, in the Dangerfield section on the ground floor. I was looking at some clothes while one of the members of staff was talking to me. I forgot what we were talking about though. It may have been something about me potentially working there. At one point, I was sifting through all the racks, trying to think up potential outfit combinations that would work.

      In the next scene, I was at some unknown shopping centre with my parents but I have forgotten what I was doing there. There was a stranger man who was now talking to me in one of the car parks and he wanted me to give him directions for something. I walked him across the car park and around the outsides of the shopping centre while continuing to talk to him.

      There was then a sub-scene playing, on and off, while I was still talking to the man in one of the outside car parks. It was these Sly Cooper style animation cutscenes but surprisingly, I was also in some of the cutscenes! In one of the cutscenes, Murray was holding me and Sly and Bentley were looking in admiration (just like in my current real life DV profile pic but it was turned into an animated cutscene); Murray wasn’t wearing his mask or gloves though, so it might have been in the style of Sly 2. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

      Non-dream stuff: A very long non-lucid dream. I only remember one part of it, that I held on to loosely as I was quickly forgetting everything, deciding this was the most important part to remember.



      Dream sequence:

      I was in my native country, in the dream context it had been explained why I think but I can't remember it. I was in a small town and it was day, looking to soon be sunset, as everything looked a bit orange.

      This was just a typical town and I was wandering around and there was an old brown-stone church, with one of its doors wide open. I walked in, and I remember I was looking at the floor just before doing so and seeing a roach type bug, but small. In the dream context there was something about going to visit local landmarks. When I entered it wasn't like a church at all, but a community centre of some kind. It was deserted. All the lights were on, but there were many many webs... and spiders, weird ones, some almost as big as my hand. I was very wary, but something compelled me to continue and I kept my instinctive fear in check, wondering why I was fearing them, they were just stood there on their webs, undisturbed for years, clearly.

      I wandered through the first two rooms, and the second room was at the "back" and had large modern glass windows that were letting the sunset light in. Everything had that orange light bath, as expected. I used my boot to clear away some webs I just couldn't avoid if I wanted to move further. After having a look around in this room, where there had been some displays of some kind, I turn back a bit and again have to carefully remove some webs from the way, feeling extremely wary of the spiders on it. I remember being in a room or common hall that connected other rooms and there was a bag of some kind on a swivel office chair. On topof the bag was a black leather wallet. Everything was absolutely covered in webs and I looked at the wallet with the intent of seeing what was inside and taking it, but I saw a slightly open door and could sense something. It was a very small room, a cupboard of some kind, and I couldn't fully open the door in, because of an object inside. The light inside the tiny room was also on, oddly. I reached with my left arm into the room and felt something stony and as I touched it, I saw the wallet and bag disappear and heard a female voice saying "You have resisted temptation. You are blessed with protection." I could "see" an interface icon showing a "buff" as in a game, but the context of the dream felt all too real.

      I remember exploring a little more but there were some areas that didn't have lights on and were getting on for darkness. It is implied in the dream that I went into these areas, as next I remember being at a doorway in the same building and walking into my the room my mom uses as an office at home in waking life, except the view through the windows was part of the dream context. I found it odd to find this room, but didn't question it much. I looked at her computer screen. It was on, something about this feels emotional though I have no idea now what was on the screen, other than the fact that on some timestamp it said the date was "2013". It was 2018, I knew this in the dream context. I took a photograph with my phone of the screen, and I thought something but I can't remember what. I seem to remember that at some point before this in the dream I'd found something else pertaining to my mom, from the past also. Even in the dream I couldn't help but wonder, are these things I'm finding related to her mental health?

      I know I went out of that room but I cannot remember more details, even though the dream sequence didn't end there.



      Some notes (spread out because they'd be too dense to read otherwise):
      • The sunset is a dream-sign. I hadn't realised this before. It is distinctly different from all other times of day, and in my dreams it always represents "the end" (of time, in some way).


      • Even in the dream I thought everything in that light looked beautiful.


      • As I saw all those spiders, I was about to react instinctively and let out some reaction of fear, but the fact that in the dream I had strongly intended to go into this building and that I somehow felt compelled to go further in, made me remember my practice of trying to keep my fear in check. This is the first time in a dream that I have truly suppressed such a basic and intense fear, as far "consciously" as my dream mind would allow. Keep in context that I have been an arachnophobe almost all of my life until very recently, and that in dreams basic fears and instincts are much, much stronger in my behaviour.


      • In the dream context I remember being told by someone to look at the local points of interest and landmarks because I could be interested in them and because they needed people to do some tourism around here. That's the context I had for the "church".


      • The bag/purse under the wallet was magenta. The office chair was a deep blue, I think.


      • All I can remember seeing on that computer screen was a few different windows open, and maybe an image as one of the windows, which is what had the timestamp. In my dream, I knew that my mom had not been in this office for a long time. It looked just as the rest of the community centre.


      • I do not know why even out of the dream now I feel some strong emotion thinking about the date and the screen. As far as I remember, 2013 was no different for my mom, if anything, her mental health has improved greatly since then. But considering it now, it was also when I moved to where I live now, away from my native country.


      • At some point in the dream I understood the sunset feeling like "end", though I'm still not certain what about.


      • The community centre (which was actually the church, after all) corridors and rooms looked, actually, much more like a very stereotypical office building and some doctors offices I've been to.


      • As for the context of my mom's mental health, she suffers from bipolar or something the like, but has it very well controlled by medication these days.

    4. Log 1188 - School Pantry Warehouse Raid

      by , 07-31-2018 at 02:23 AM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Monday 30 July 2018

      Got a DILD and brief WILD to note, along with a bunch of fragments.

      Scrap Group 1
      At a picnic with family?

      In a laundromat, I think? There was an pld Mortal Kombat arcade cabinet.

      At a courtyard in a city/urban area. I spot some jerk from way back in middle school, who was hurling around insults at people like a madman. I ignore this at first. I then stopped, shrugged, and made his head asplode for the heck of it.

      Dream 1 - School Pantry Warehouse Raid

      The visuals were slightly blurred. I was walking through the hallways of a middle school, a place very similar to the one I attended way back when, only significantly larger.

      Unknown occurrences. Something about getting lost on my way to class, and some reference to Sonic the Hedgehog.

      Cut to a crowded antechamber. I was on my way to my next class. On impulse, I decided to take a detour to the lunchroom. The idea was for me to sneak into the prep area, snag a lunch, eat quickly, then hurry back to where I was supposed to be. Biggest hurdle was the students clustered around the area. And so, I used Ashura Warped, allowing me to both phase and glide through such obstructions.

      In half a minute, I arrived at the cafeteria, a much wider space than anticipated. The place was also undergoing renovations, which explained why several faculty members were overseeing the place at that moment. Thus, between subsequent warps, I became invisible via trembling in place. Such transparency only lasted for so long, requiring frequent reuse. I also rubbed my hands, sensing my actions were destabilizing the environment. Reflecting on such finally got me lucid. Couldn't think of anything better to do. Besides, gliding and cloaking myself as I did was amusing enough. So, I continued with the above plan.

      Next, I phased straight across the lunchroom and through the door into the kitchen. Things did indeed start hazing up. Nothing more hand-rubbing couldn't fix. The surroundings warped in view, first into the likeness of a grocery store, then settling into a food + kitchen supply warehouse. There didn't seem to be any ready-to-eat food in sight. I sifted through a wide area, most of which contained transparent bags filled with recycled disposable plates and eating utensils. Later on, Nappa and (Saiyan Saga) Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z randomly popped out of nowhere. Both of them were likewise browsing through the place. But, Nappa quickly lost his patience. To vent, he toppled piles of boxes and bags. He would've done likewise with the shelves, if I hadn't said something about that.

      Minutes go by. In the end, I could only find several bags of cereal. Better than nothing. I was about to try some, only for the dream to collapse.

      Scrap Group 2
      WILD transition in an unknown bedroom. Covers were obstructing most of my view, but I couldn't take them off. I closed my eyes, and flew around blindly. Then, I started visualizing my guide, E, being ahead of me, but only got a faint image. The dream then collapsed.

      In an unknown home. Unnatural things occur.

    5. Conversations with Critters

      by , 07-31-2018 at 02:06 AM (Night Vision)
      I manage to maintain awareness while falling asleep quite early in the night and find myself in a house. As with most lucid dreams that are on the long side and include a lot of conversation, I can only remember some parts of it clearly, and without clear context.

      The house is not a familiar one, although its layout seems slightly reminiscent of Katya’s house. I’m in what would be the front room with two other people—one man and one woman—and three dogs. I can feel a connection with one of the dogs—a medium-sized one, possibly a Border Collie—and I sense that he’s somehow mediating between me and the rest of the dream. I think it’s likely that the other dogs were doing the same for the other people and somehow making it possible for us to be together here.

      One of the dogs is briefing us all about something. He’s a very large dog with short hair, probably a Great Dane. He communicates with us for a while—I don’t think he actually spoke, but my memory is fuzzy on how it happened. At one point, he mentions something about a llama farm, then cuts himself off and lays down. I realized this was something he didn’t want me and the other woman to know about, but he had let it slip, and now he’s sad about it. He refuses to say anything else, so I go into an adjoining room so he can talk to the man in private. In the meantime, I strike up a conversation with a bird on the windowsill.

      It’s a small bird, a bit like a titmouse but pure white. It seems friendly, and has an odd habit of repeating each phrase after it says it. After a bit, it flies off: it’s decided it wants to catch me some kind of small marine crustacean that it eats—as a kind of gift, I suppose. Aww.
