The Blue Saga

Finally!

DreamLucid Dream

I do a WILD correctly and end up in a lucid dream, HURRAH! I'm in a daycare center for some reason and one of my friends is babysitting a bunch of crazy kids. The walls are white in a very strikingly white way. I leave the room with the kids because it's too noisy and I don't want to waste time or willpower making them disappear. The next room over is filled with bunk beds of people stacked on top of each other like sardines in a can. I push through them too.

After about twenty more minutes of pushing through rooms filled with children freaking out and a lot of other very random stuff, I find a quiet and empty room. It's like the others in that it's totally white all over: white walls, white ceiling, white floor. It's small, about the size of a walk in closet. I close the door behind me and turn my back to the wall. My plan is to ask for my dream guide, who I haven't met yet. I say in a loud voice, "When I turn around my dream guide will be behind me." Then I turn quickly. An aether-colored spirit hovers in the air for a second, but as I try to talk to it, it fades away. Frustrated, I leave the room. When I open the door, I am confronted by three things at once: a stuffed purple dog barking at me, a screaming toddler, and Sue Sylvester from Glee. When I see them I just explode with anger. "Oh, no you are NOT trying to distract me from my lucidity! I worked hard for this! I deserve to find my damn dream guide!" I snap my fingers and the dog disappears with the toddler. Only Sue is left, yelling at me through her big megaphone! Before I can say anything, she starts throwing things at me. They bounce off without hurting, which makes her mad. "Sue, I have no clue why you're even here but no matter what you throw, you can't hurt me. This is my dream and I call the shots, okay?" I am so angry that I wake up.

Okay, this is a sort of compilation post, not from any one particular night. There are a lot of random fragments of dreams floating about in my head that I haven't bothered to post because they're only one or two sentences long and not very significant to the plot of the dreams. So I decided to make one big post dealing with all the little bits of dreams that I have experienced recently.

Here goes nothing!

• Highlighters
• A black binder.
• A bowling alley with facilities like a gym
• An apartment during World War Two, in a slum.
• Tennis racket
• Cardboard boxes, like the kind homeless people sleep in.
• A big room with an indoor pool. The walls are covered in blue tiles, like a shower stall.
• An icy cold drink of some sort.
• On my coffee table, two copies of Terry Pratchett's "Wintersmith". I remember being excited that me and my friend could read it together.
  
  Okay, so it's pretty random, but I'm glad I got this all recorded. Maybe later I'll do a "dream signs" post of all the particular dream signs I have to remember that keep popping up in my dream.

I'm not posting regularly enough, which means my recall is getting worse and worse. This happened about a week ago.

I'm at Sea World, despite the fact the place looks a lot more like the zoo. I'm strolling around and having quite a nice time. A huge group of kids run by, and I realize that they are from my old second grade class. I remember that in second grade I took a field trip to Sea World and begin to follow them. We go to a Popsicle stand, and I get a cherry-flavored one. I drip some red Popsicle juice down my shirt and onto my favorite necklace, a silver one with a mood pendant. This makes me upset.

The day is ending and the sun is going down in the sky, so we head to the gates and check out of the park. A sandy-colored rock bearing the Sea World logo stands near the entrance, and I climb upon it. Also on this rock is a boy I know named Ezra, but he looks like a second grader too. I remember from waking life that my friend has a crush on him, so I tell him, "Hey! You know Lacey from last year? She really likes you." He nods and says "I know. She sent me a message." I was shocked and asked "Are you guys in touch?" He nods again, saying "We talk all the time now." Just a note, in real life Lacey would love to contact Ezra because he moved away a few years ago.

In the next dream I have, I am driving with my mom on the highway. We pass a few of the green exit signs that say things like "Universal". Out of nowhere, Mom turns down a hidden exit. I find myself in a school parking lot. "Go inside," she says.

When I enter I am surprised to find out that the school looks exactly like my house! I am very lost and confused. A few incidents happen that I can't remember, but the next thing I know, I'm in a classroom that looks like my living room. A teacher is writing on a chalkboard that is really a TV. The teacher turns and asks me a question, but I haven't been there for long and I don't know the answer. He makes a rude remark and I jump up, yelling at him. I am taken to the principal's office, which is my kitchen, and berated for a while. I remember thinking that this is unfair and ridiculous and maybe a dream, but before I can do a reality check, I lose lucidity.After that I don't remember any other parts of the dream.

I was standing in a Target with a bunch of kids from school. It was the first day and I was waiting to get my class schedule. They handed out everyone else's except mine: people were jumping up and down and laughing. A teacher who looked like a cashier showed up, he had long shaggy brown hair. He took all the others into a different room. I was standing there alone, so I asked him if he knew where my schedule was. He pointed at the floor and said, "We already gave it to you, it's probably in that pile." I looked down and saw a huge mound of crumpled papers which had definitely not been there before. I got down on my knees and began sifting through the papers looking for my schedule. Out of the corner of my eye I saw the man go back to the cash register and start ringing people up. The weird thing was, people were only buying cans of Mountain Dew. I saw my friend buy a Pepsi and start talking to the guy about Yale, I think, because she goes there. He nodded at what she said and leaned in to kiss her.

I finally found my schedule and began to read it. It said "Pick your superpower! 8:00-2:00 Practice." I got really excited because there was a list of awesome superpowers to choose from. While I was trying to decide which power to pick the man came over again. "You found it, good, now go into the room. You'll be a little behind because they've already started practicing but that's okay. You'll catch up." I tried to say "Hey, wait, I haven't decided on anything yet" but he grabbed my arm and shoved me into the room.

There were a ton of people running around exploding things and I was really confused until an Asian girl came up to me and said "Need any help?" I said "Yeah, I don't even know which power I want yet." She smiled and told me, "That's okay." Suddenly a huge metal door opened and a fleet of futuristic motorcycles/cars sat there. Everyone started to climb on. The Asian girl gave me a helmet and said" "Yours is the yellow one." I tried to protest but she said "It's okay, you'll do fine." "Where are we going?" I asked her. She replied, "The end of the world."

I got on the motorcycle and it zoomed off. It was going too fast. I remember dodging around a bunch of regular cars and a few trees, but I couldn't get it to stop. Suddenly I was surrounded by snow and evergreen trees. I crashed into a snowdrift and flew through the air, landing hard on the ground. That's when I woke up.

Also during the night, I was in a small room with my old friend Megan, Beyonce, and Imogen Heap. We were supposed to perform a dance for some sort of school assignment. I was partnered with Imogen and Megan was with Beyonce. The teacher came in and asked for their project first. To my surprise they gave her a flash drive to plug into her laptop! She put it in and there was a three page Word document on dancing. At the end there was a small video that featured disco music and lots of psychedelic art. The teacher said "Great job guys!" and gave them an A+. I was upset because they didn't even do what they were supposed to and they still got a good grade!

Dreams having to do with school, hmm? Well, it is about to start, I suppose. Maybe I should add it to my list of dreamsigns.

Also, no LDs. Sigh.

Not a good night. Sigh.

I am in a synagogue sitting with a group of people on the floor. It is loud and there are lots of little kids yelling. I randomly notice two sisters. They somehow remind me of Ramona and Beezus from that old book, you know? The younger one, I'll call her Ramona, is blabbing to someone about her sister. The older one, who I'll call Beezus, gets mad and slaps her. Their mother rushes in and is very angry with Beezus, The door to the sanctuary opens and everyone is supposed to go inside. I run to the coatroom for some reason, but end up getting pulled into the sanctuary. It doesn't look like it should: there are scented candles everywhere and the whole layout is changed. Suddenly I am at Ramona & Beezus's house. They are yelling at each other. Then Beezus gets so angry she grabs a vase and hits Ramona over the head with it. The little girl falls to the ground.

Their mother comes in screaming and out of nowhere I am inside a family video. It shows lots of scenes of Beezus and Ramona playing together when they were smaller. Ramona looks beautiful while Beezus is very plain. I realize that it why she was killed. I wake up.

My WILD alarm is going off.I settle back in and start to think of peeling a carrot because it is boring and will put me to sleep. I get the SP and ALMOST make it to my dream, closer than last time! But in the end, I wake up again.

By this time I am quite frustrated because it's 5 in the morning and I'm tired and I'm having WILD problems. I toss and turn for a bit angsting with myself. After about 30 minutes I finally go back to sleep.

I'm in a pool, but it is not a nice pool The water is green and filled with algae. I try to swim but I can't see very well because the water is all murky. There is a bite mark on the edge of the pool. I hear someone say it is because of an alligator. For a second I think I see an alligator swimming around and I freak out, which wakes me up for real this time.

I know I'm a total noob and i shouldn't expect to get my techniques perfect from Day 1, but I can't help being angry at myself. I guess I just don't have any patience.

On another note, why do I always have really morbid dreams? I mean, if you look through, there's always someone dying or drowning or screaming or something. Also, 75% of my dreams have water-related incidents. This can't be a coincidence. Maybe I have a deep fear of water? I don't know. I guess I'll just have to keep plugging away and see if I can figure anything out.

I should start out by saying that I don't remember anything at all before I woke up at around 6:00. Nothing. Nada. This depressed me, because I usually have pretty good recall in most of my dreams. When my alarm went off I don't think it interrupted any REM activity either, because I don't remember breaking off from a dream like I usually do.

When I did wake up, I decided to try and turn my failure into a WILD. I followed the steps pretty faithfully but I don't remember seeing any HI. I do remember when the sleep paralysis started to take over, because I panicked and ruined it. GAH! Even after I'd warned myself a thousand times, too.

At this point I fell back asleep, kind of. I was on the edge, really close to awakening, but I was also lucid dreaming. However, I couldn't do any sort of lucid dreaming activity, because then I would wake up again.

After a while, i fell back into non-lucid dreaming. I was in my backyard with a friend and my two sisters came in. One said "Hey this is Jennifer," and pointed to a girl from an Aeropostale ad. "And this is Michelle. Do you mind staying with them for a bit?" We said okay, but Michelle said "Actually I'm going inside." My sisters went in with her too.

We talked to Jennifer for a little but finally went inside. Michelle was sitting at the table trying to sell some product to my sisters. They kept saying "No, we don't want it, no thanks," but she wouldn't stop. Finally they ganged up on her and started yelling in synchronization. I said "Wow, you guys just said the same thing at the same time!" (Stupid, i know.) They started laughing.I woke up.

This was a really good night! I had a lot of success.

Dream Lucid Dream

First dream takes place on a deserted beach. There are huge building as far as the eye can see, great big docks, and restaurants with flashing neon signs, all empty. A few lifeguards patrol now and then, but for the most part no one is there, except for one girl. She sits half-submerged in the water all day and night, even when the tide comes in. She is addicted to the sound of the waves. She will not leave the water.

A hurricane comes. The lifeguards are sent to go retrieve the girl so she won't drown. They drag her out of the water as she screams. She doesn't want to leave. A thousand tourists are standing there to watch and take pictures. I am there with my mother as the girl is hauled on the dock and wrapped in a towel. The storm comes closer. The water is rising and crashing dangerously, so a lot of the tourists leave, except for me and my mother. Suddenly, the girl breaks free and dives back into the water. The lifeguards ignore her. I yell to my mother "Don't let her drown!" She goes into the water and saves the girl. Then she yells at the lifeguards for not doing their job. We go into a big beach house and ride out the storm.

After that, I am walking home with my sister. There is a posh family on our route there, so rich that they have a giraffe tied up on their front lawn. I am afraid of giraffes in the dream. We go inside the house where there is a party by the skating rink. I want to get a strawberry ICEE but there is a long line. When I finally do, there is too much ice and not enough flavor. A little boy laughs at me and I spit in his cup.

I wake up and decide to try becoming lucid. I focus on lucid dreaming and what I want to do. Then I fall back asleep. I realize I am still lucid! Hurrah! I am on the edge of sleep so I make sure to anchor myself and then I try to make a portal. I want to go into outer space! I circle my finger in the air and silver sparks start to swirl. Then I jump into the portal and find myself floating in space, but I can breathe just fine. I land on a dry, cratered moon/planet/asteroid thing. There is a group of people fighting vicious monsters. I know the monsters aren't real, so I go up to a DC and ask "Can I fight with you guys?" He says "Sure." I go into a trench and he hands me what looks like balls of clay. "Here you go...Pyromancy, Aeromancy, etc." I throw the red ball at a lizardy thing, and he bursts into flame. I try the purple one on a different creature and he disintegrates! I think it's super cool, so I keep throwing. Finally all the monsters are dead and all the people go into a bar. I order a drink but as soon as I take my first sip i wake up again.

I fall back asleep, STILL LUCID! Only problem is, now I'm in a dentist's office. I try to make the portal again but it doesn't work.I say "This is a dream, I can do whatever I want," and try again. Still nothing. My mom appears. "Come on, we have to get to the airport!" she yells. I go with her. "You're a DC aren't you?" She shakes her head. 'I don't know what you mean." I poke her on the arm. "Guess what? I'm dreaming." She says "Yeah right." I just laugh and say "Whatever DC." My dad and sis arrive and we are running towards the door. Also a family friend is with us, pushing a stroller. "Can you push?" she asks me. "I want to get out of here," I say, but i grab the stroller anyway. While pushing I try the portal thing again and fail. The stroller runs into the wall. "My baby!" the DC yells. I say "Relax, it's just a dream. You're not real, you know that, right?" She screams and disappears. I wake up for real.

I'm beginning to see a pattern in my dreams. There's always the girl in the ocean or in some type of water. Also my sister crops up a lot. This dream is about 4 days old but I think there might be a lot of significance to it.

TThis is my first DJ post on this website, copied straight from the little dream book beside my bed.

I am at my sister's wedding, but instead of it taking place in Connecticut as it is scheduled to, it is going on in a parking lot. My father is riding around on a strange wooden contraption that looks like a cross between a unicycle and a segway. Dakota Fanning is on the other side of the parking lot doing some sort of photoshoot. I think she was supposed to be Cupid, because she had wings pinned to her back. I go and ask my father what he is doing. He says he is an extra in a movie with his friend Ed. Suddenly Ed appears, riding the same vehicle.

Then, for some reason, we go back to my house to fix one of the bridesmaid dresses. It is navy blue and beige with a red shrug, covered in flowery patterns. A professional alterations expert shows up and begins taking measurements. While he does this, he asks me to do a job for him and he will pay me 3000 dollars. I don't remember what the job was, but I know I refused, and he chased me around the house trying to stab my eyes out with a pair of scissors.

In another dream, I was at the pool with a few of my friends. We see a mousy looking girl in a stripey bathing suit dive into the water. It skips to us getting out of the pool and going into the locker rooms to change. A different girl begins talking to us, and I see the mousy girl leave. Suddenly, I am by the seashore and I run into the water thinking I can breathe. The dream skips again to the next morning, where the news shows that the mousy girl has drowned.

One of Leona Lewis's music videos come on TV. I become lucid. I try to leave the room but end up entering Leona's video. There is a duck with a shoe for a head and many dancing pinatas. I lose lucidity and the dream goes on without my recall.

All in all, not very promising, but I have decided that tomorrow I will try a WILD!
