My brain and I

dream : comments : lucid

7th of February, 2012

Another big one! Sorry they're so long- I just have to include everything for myself.

I took a Galantamind pill at 8:30am and tried to get back to sleep but failed miserably.
I went and lay on the couch and watched a bit of Jurassic Park and kept trying to doze off but the TV was keeping me awake and my brother kept disturbing me.



Then I had a false awakening where I looked at a clock and it spontaneously occurred to me I was dreaming. I went into the hallway and heard noises from a nearby room. It was dark inside so I tried to turn a light on which obviously didn't work. "Duh!" I thought and casually left.

At that point I found myself in a backyard and jumped onto the roof and was touching everything. The clothesline was higher than the roof which I thought was a pretty cool thing to randomly think up. I tried to fly a bit but couldn’t really control myself and landed in the back yard where I was rolling around with Nooks in clean clothes like a little kid.
I could still hear the TV playing so I yelled to increase lucidity and Nooks said “okay! SHUT UP!” and woke me up.

I attempted a DEILD while focussing on running and materialised outside a small block of apartment buildings surrounded by grass and trees. I was running still and realised that I needed to settle down and just sit and focus on relaxing for future endeavours, even if it did mean wasting this dream.

I went looking for a nice place to sit but everywhere was a bit too... urban.

I eventually settled on a little patch of grass near a tennis court. So I sat on down and just looked around at the sky and the dirt and my hands and the trees and the grass and the clouds and really focussed on my senses.
Nooks, Courtney and Byron joined me and I began to feel myself swallowing in real life so I dove into the ground but rolled around in blackness and came back to the same spot. Didn’t wake up though, so I suppose it worked. I sat for a bit longer then dove again into the ground.

SPLASH! I emerged from water in a bath with Nooks. Who had a Captain Planet mullet haircut. We had sexy bath times and then she started drowning and I was like “OH! I could have sex with her while she’s dead!” Then I realised that was really creepy and picked her up and took her into a bedroom instead. On our way, Jono came out with exactly the same haircut and I laughed.

So I sat on the bed and thought I could still hear the TV invading my dreams and watched as the wall glowed in time with the sounds. I noticed that there were little green glowing arrows on the walls as well, but still got bored pretty quickly and went out a window onto a deck.
It was night time and the decks were all interconnected. I had to ninja myself in and out of windows and over railings to get outside. While I was doing it, I was dictating out loud how I’d write it on DreamViews but I forgot on waking up.
Outside, my vision was a bit blurry so I commanded lucidity and it helped. After some insignificant stuff it was day time and a bunch of cloaked people were around. We were standing on a huge raised platform made of dark redwood. There were benches and small doors around that I didn’t explore too fully. The people started getting restless so I thought I’d show them who’s boss and I Fus Ro Dah’d* a bunch of them.

It was really funny and ineffective, like my brain couldn’t make it work so instead they just pretended it worked and jumped back making “ooh” noises. I got irked and made one guy fly up to the roof and attempted to make a fireball which sort of worked.
After that, the Imperial March started playing and I felt tough so naturally they followed me.
I went to a ledge and wanted adventure so I looked out over quite a serene bay. I saw an island and said “let’s go!” and flew to it.
I landed at a little boat which quickly turned into a buoy which I sailed to the island.
There, three identically dressed men were lying on top of each other in the sand. Wanting to just see what my dream could do, I pleasantly asked what they were up to. They replied they were trying to fix a telephone cable but had no mobile reception.

“No worries!”
I said I could help and lo and behold there was suddenly a giant pole on the island stretching upwards but all bendy. They began attaching bags to it for whatever reason and suddenly there was a highway over the island.
Mitchell and Jono were now there smoking weed. He offered me and Nooks some and I said sure but it didn’t eventuate.

“Wanna come over for breakfast?” Mitchell asked.

“Nah thanks. I don’t need food here.”

“Breakfast in bed then?” He continued.

I smiled. “I am in bed!!”

We walked about for a minute or two longer and then I moved my leg which woke me up in real life 15 seconds before my alarm went off.
Which was weird, because in an earlier dream which I now forget I’d said “PHONE!” just before Nooks’ alarm went off as well.



Oh. And by the way. I never went and watched Jurassic Park. That was all total false awakening.
It’s a bit annoying in a way because due to that, the rest of the dreams seemed a bit light, like I was trying hard not to wake up. I realised later that if I’d just let myself wake, I would have in fact been in a far more stable dream instead.

I do also hope I'm not becoming reliant on galantime to become lucid, though it does have a really good induction rate! I imagine if anything it's just helping me recognise signs... Hopefully.



*one of my lucid goals. Skyrim is awesome.

31st of January, 2012

This was a big one. Lots of fun and really detailed. The plotline even managed to remain pretty consistent throughout.

Something about Ghost Whisperer/Medium and being on big puffy cushions in a forest lead to...

Dad going for a run with the dog. I watched him from the balcony and as he emerged from behind a bush, he was being chased by a cop who shot at him. I ran after him and somehow, doing that, found out that there was a series of raunchy photos leaked of a celebrity.

Facebook was going wild over the news and they were being called the $5billion pictures.

I said it was ridiculous that anyone would care that much about just some random’s celebrity sex photos.
As it came to pass, I eventually saw said photos and in looking at them was magically transported to the event.

It was at a party.
The famous girl, who was now the chick from Secret Diary of a Call Girl (I’ve never watched any of these shows by the way, I don’t know why they’re in my dreams!) was about to go down on some guy. They were doing all the necessary prep things and then he abruptly fell asleep!
I said I wasn’t sleepy but she didn’t seem interested in me. At that point, her friend came in and said “didn’t you say she was just another chick anyway?” to which I acted all shocked and began saying nice things such as “charming” and “enchanting to look at” etc.

Eventually she seemed impressed with my lingo and we started to kiss but then the guy woke up and got all aggro.
Somehow in the commotion the girl bumped her mouth and ran into the bathroom. The guy started getting rough and I bested him then pulled a rock-star pose.

I went into the bathroom and saw that she was bleeding and I gathered up four teeth that she’d lost (dream sign much?)
We went into the kitchen where I was looking for my phone but her friend had confiscated it. I imagine so that I didn’t tell my friends that I was hangin’ with celebs. Eventually she told me where it was hidden and I must’ve left.

The next little while was me being generally cool and harbouring this cool secret, then there was a massive bus crash with a car involved and I went out to help.
That part was really vivid and quite scary. All night time-y and explosionful.

I realised none of my team were wearing our fire fighter clothes so we went to get changed.

In the change room an odd thing happened where the dream to that point was recounted in cartoon form and ended in a ballroom where I now found myself surrounded by the sleep-guy and his friends.
We got into a fight and I beat them then managed to talk to friends into calming down.
Just as I did, one of them started peeing all over the place and aiming at me, but I grabbed his dong and made him whizz on himself and his friends instead and then I ran away.

In the hall I bumped into the sleep-guy (who had transformed appearances several times by this stage) but quickly just picked him up and slammed him on his head.
I left and got on a bus where he tried to follow me but was stopped.
We went through a drive through bottle shop/car wash where a girl recognised me as Star coz of the pose I’d pulled, which actually had something to do with a rash the sleep-guy had that looked like a star. I talked to her briefly then we drove off.

As we left, I got a message from the guy saying he wanted to meet up and sort it out but it was obviously a setup as he wanted my credit card details as well as telling me I could leave my car with his chauffeurs.

At this little shop area there was a bunch of celebrity gossipers and a dating guide woman who started talking to me and asking how successful my week had been. I played it coy and said “...alright.”
At that point the celebrity girl walked past with a male friend and the woman started taking photos. I pretended not to recognise them, then another celebrity walked past and the dating woman told me to leave by walking past him so she could get a photo.

I obliged then rethought that I was way cooler than she knew, so I went back in where she was now talking to him and walked out the back door. Hanging out the door were a big group of people including Stew and Sean and they were all on acid. I spoke to them briefly and they were all being really weird then they became Colin, Jon Lee and Jono and I told them I had the best secret in the world but couldn’t tell them what it was.

Nooks’ alarm went off as I was about to meet up with celeb girl again and was devising some kind of weird prank to play on her.

29th of January, 2012

This was a difficult one to comprehend. At the time it was really elaborate and at one point I said “Man, this should be a movie!” but in recounting it, it became a bit convoluted and the timeline seemed to rewind in on itself.

Anyway.

I was at an old Hungry Jack’s (Burger King for Americans) and the woman took aaaaaaaaaaages to make my burger then ended up dropping it on the floor anyway.

Shortly after that, it came to pass that I was to be killed.

Nooks was having a baby that was going to forever change the course of history or something and the government were spying on us with satellites.
I told her that this had happened before (weird dream spiral- sometimes I talk about dreams in dreams as if they’ve happened previously) and I hid in her garden to prove it. At that point, a black SUV drove past and I knew that shit was about to get real.

An agent came up to us and showed us pictures of us taken from space and told me I could end all the suffering by just letting them kill me. He went to show another picture to some guy but I told the guy not to look at it because without seeing them he could at least believe it wasn’t true.
A big fight broke out between me and the agent and I ended up pinning him against a wall with a table crushing his neck. I released him just as he was about to die and finally, defeated, agreed that they could kill me in my sleep as long as they did it quickly.
