dream fragment

3. I’m inside grandma’s house. She tells me she’s made something to eat, and I’m disappointed because I was planning on going home for that, so I could watch what I eat.

While eating, grandma tells me about a dinosaur that was spotted. Me and Rane talk about how we used to see them more when we were younger.

We’re riding in a car down a road, looking out at the woods for signs of the dinosaur. We see a field of black goats, and I say that the dinosaur must not be there because the goats were okay. I say it must have gone off into the woods.

We drive into a town full of houses that look like they were made of cheap kid’s furniture. I say that it seems a shame to waste a whole town [just because the people in it before were forced out for doing something wrong]. Rane reminds me that it’s being used for ‘this’ now.

She seems to be looking for a specific house, mumbling under her breath. She stops and opens a part on one light-colored house. Inside are two envelopes. I think they’re old mail left from when the people left and she’s looking for supplies. This is a dystopia, after all.

She takes one and starts opening it, and I ask if I can open the other, to which she replies that I can.

In her package, there was a bag full of jewelry and things. They were a few heart shaped pieces.

-Jump-

I’m in a central building there, talking to a little creature (reminds me of Boota from Gurren Lagann – without the glasses of course!). He’s talking to me about what I need to do to get signed up there to store things. Apparently everyone already has a basic account, but you have to make it official by signing a form.

I look around and see relics from before the apocalypse. There are some anime things and even a few ‘gifs’. I contemplate about the less conventional things, like yaoi, what about people who like those things, but then shrug and realize they still have the internet.

We hear someone come in, and I bend down to look under this metal block. I see someone wearing a skirt or dress and assume it’s a woman. The creature seems to know her, and he runs up my body. I instinctively clutch him and he hides against my body. He doesn’t seem afraid though.

Inspiration: Maybe from watching Helix? And I got a package in the mail recently, and Rane gets things sometimes.

4. Duplicating socks, one was a homemade pair by mom. I thought that duplicated items weren’t as effective as the originals, but seeing the results, I thought it was a really cool idea.

5. I woke up and all the thoughts of my dreams I’d had were scrambling around my head. I had my iPod Touch, opened up Notes and pressed the + sign. I started making a word-list of things I could remember. One word was ‘eggs’.

…I woke up for real, confused, and realized I’d had a false awakening. And had no idea what the eggs part was about.

Notes: The FA is a great sign! I’m so focused on recall when I first wake up, I only do an RC after I’ve got it all straight in my head. I guess I can only wait and see how it develops from here.

Also, turning to lie on my back instead of sitting up worked well for making sure I got the dreams in my palace, because I can’t get to sleep on my back. After that I just had to keep my thoughts from wandering off so I could focus on putting the dreams in.

1. Me thinking that all the fish wouldn’t be able to fit in the room/box.

Inspiration: Me making a new dream palace. In the dream, the image of the fish in it came to mind. Maybe because I was looking for a water Pokemon to put in the water area in Twinleaf Town.

2. In a park-type area, Sarah from Helix was riding a bike around but then is being surrounded by monsters, but Alan comes in to save her.

Inspiration: Watched a new episode of Helix last night just before I laid down. The surroundings reminded me of Pokemon Platinum, which is one of my memory palaces.

Dream 1:

I was on an island resort with my father. I went for a run through the tropical forest outside and there were people from my high school running there too. I tried to avoid the people I didn't want to talk to. I remember that it was quite beautiful though; there was mist rising up from the ground, light pouring through the cracks in the trees, lush plant-life everywhere. The trail was a giant circle, I thought that was pretty weird and that there had to be more to the island than this giant circle. I grew tired of running and decided to go back inside the resort.

The inside was now a giant, circular, track of lockers, high school style. There were also vending machines for weed. They said it was legal on their island now, to attract tourists. The owner of the island was some angry little woman that barely reached my waist. She got angry at the manager of the resort for making it legal because professional sports athletes wouldn't be allowed to go there now. Dream kept getting weirder.

I went outside to this enormous beach area that had scattered palm trees and groups of people doing fun little events. I decided to go flying by using a parachute. I strapped it on and the wind took me up into the air like I was a kite. I had to navigate to channels of wind to stay up so that I could explore more of the island. After going on a little bit of a flying island adventure I decided I was done and I went back to the resort. I suddenly had an enormous pike in my hands, naturally I gutted it and prepared fillets, not sure why. Then these kids from my high school appeared and wanted me to take them flying too. Didn't work as well because they added too much weight. They started to get upset that they weren't going very high. I looked to the shore and saw giant 20 foot waves coming in and thought, ooooo that looks like good wind. Sure enough it sent us soaring. I looked to the shore again and saw these 100 foot walls of water coming towards us. I became lucid and tried to fly away from the island but the parachute and these 2 DCs were weighing me down. Black clouds began creeping along the island's ground. I could hear thunder. I woke up.

Dream 2:

I was at my parents' house, talking to my parents when I noticed that my dad was black. I became lucid and asked him, "Why are you black in this dream, dad?" He said something about having revitiligo, I thought it was hilarious in the dream. I woke up and thought, what the hell was that about.

Fragment 1:

On another island with my family and a witch. I don't remember most of the beginning of the dream. I just remember that there were these snakes biting me, hanging onto my skin and that reminded me of another dream I had earlier this month. They made a popping noise when I would pull them off, sometimes their bodies would come off and their heads would stay. It hurt. That made me lucid and I sought out the witch as my family left.

It was nighttime and the moon lit up the island with a blueish hue. The witch was at a cliff edge, staring longingly towards the ocean. I asked her to teach me her powers. She just kept staring for a minute and then looked at me and said that I could control those snakes if they appeared again. She made several snakes appear and told me to control them now, stop them from biting me. I made them fight each other but then I noticed the witch was holding a cute little kitten and the snakes started to attack me. She made them disappear and I realized that I lose control if i lose focus. I feel like she taught me a couple more things but I can't remember them. I followed her around for awhile and eventually asked her if it was possible to stop mutations. She told me that it was impossible, that no magic could do such a thing. I felt a little bit disheartened at her response. She gave me a big hug and told me not to worry, that I was only at the beginning of this journey. I woke up feeling a lot better.

1. [Non-Lucid] [Long]
I'm trying to get away from these people who are chasing me, I'm at a petrol station I think, then the bad guys show up in a black van and they get out and attack me with a long collapsed colourful umbrella, he tries to stab me in the eye with the chrome tip but luckily I move slightly and he misses, I then grab the umbrella and shout "RAPE, RAPE", they of course flee the scene and I acquired the umbrella, a cop on a motorbike shows up and says something too me then goes after the bad guys.
MISSION SUCCESS - ACQUIRE UMBRELLA

Now I'm in Minecraft and were in this place that we are trying to escape, I look around and see that the walls are quite high so I figure I would build a 1X1 tower, so i build this tower and its getting pretty tall...I look down at the ground and I start wobbling and become quite disoriented so I decide to start building up diagonally instead...I fall off...before I hit the ground I thought "No one better steel my umbrella :/".

I respawn and it seems we made it out of the room, as I respawn I see the world loading, while I'm looking around this spiral staircase thingy I notice due to the would loading that it also goes underground, so I go take a look and its dark so I run down the stair case while spamming redstone torches on the wall, they emitted a little light but disappear after being placed probably because I don't have permission to build.

2. [Non-Lucid]
I'm in this room with a big red sofa in the middle, I'm arguing with Neil about something then all of a sudden he throws a SKY remote at my and it hits me really hard in the side of my head and it wakes me up, the pain still lingers upon waking up.

I fall back to sleep and I'm in the same dream, I'm running as Neil is chasing me...were no in Minecraft and I run into this severely overgrown forest, I have to destroy leaves to carve a path, he almost catches me but I get away and escape the forest and that's the end of that.

Fragments:
Walking down these marble stairs while holding onto my Mum.
There's 3 ambulances outside this house, something about Walter White.

Possible dream signs:
Neil, Minecraft, Stairs, Mum, SKY remote?

I was sitting in the living room of my mothers trailer, we were discussing about how we wish we didn't trade our souls for something, After A while of thinking my mother put out some sort of poster board
it was full of strange names, I don't remember the names only that they look strange. A little girl then knocked at our door, it seemed as if she had sold her soul as well and regretted it. She was saying that something was tormenting her, I remember telling her to choose a new name so she can have a new soul. I told her after she choose a new name it wouldn't bother her anymore. that's all I remember.

1. [Non-Lucid] [Long]
Im driving to a store in the game GTA IV with a friend Inferno I think, I hit a few police cars on the way there because I'm a pretty bad driver, I then turn into the stores car park where Inferno is parked and accidentally running him over killing him, noticing we haven't got microphones I type "sorry bro" in the chat.

I'm in a shop now, (I barely remember this part now) then at the cashier a guy in our group bought these childish black and green glasses, we leave the store and walk across this open concrete area (kinda like a wall-less car park with a roof).

Someone mentions a ride we should go on, now I'm thinking to myself can a wheelchair go on this ride.
We are now at the ride and I'm being carried while still in my wheelchair onto a little platform on the ride, the ride is constantly slowly moving and my right wheel is hanging off the platform so the guy moves my chair a little so the wheel is on the platform. This ride is hard to describe but at one point my head was touching a very soft cushiony wall.

When the ride was over I was being carried out of the ride and everyone for some reason starts cheering and applauding, Im like ooook um...thanks?. The exit to the ride is a lot of steps and we decided to sit at a bench on the grass field at the top of the steps, I'm sitting there at the bench and im complaining that my chair is creaking and it doesn't feel right, everyone else decides to drag the bench further away from the steps, this muddied up the grass a little.

Fragments:
I'm climbing some tall blue tower thing with someone.
Some crazy think that morphs into things you kind of dislike.

Possible dream signs:
Wheelchair, Inferno, Steps, Neil

Morning of March 7, 2014. Friday.



I am in my bedroom in Cubitis, but it is different. There is not much furniture and the windows are of the type that open outward like French windows rather than jalousie windows (I wonder if this will turn out to be precognitive years from now as the sash-based replacements were). I seem to be only about fourteen years of age.

There is no window screen of any kind. I notice that a large bird comes into the room through the southern-most window on the west side and sits on a chair (I was aware of other large birds flying near the windows but only vaguely and I believe this was the only one that had been in my room at any time), which is the only furniture I take note of. It faces east into the room and from near the middle of the west wall. I am somewhat wary of it. There is a strange awareness or mood of “old royalty”. Larger birds in dreams when I was much younger often had a very eerie quality, especially herons and storks. This one seems to be some sort of large pelican though I am not sure of the species. I guess it could also be a phoenix, of which I have dreamt of rarely. There are both pelican and phoenix portraits of Queen Elizabeth I. An odd old myth states that a pelican would draw blood from its own breast to feed its young. In this case, then, the pelican could represent the sacrifices my mother had made for me.

I sense a sort of mystical power in the presence of the bird. I am not quite sure what to do. I notice that the curtain has fallen down over the window and I decide that I should probably move the curtain back so that the bird can fly out if it wants to, with enough room for it to not be concerned about feeling enclosed. At the same time, I do not mind if it stays in the room even though there is a vague thought of the mess it could make. I contemplate being very stealthy, because I do not want to alarm it (because it might injure itself) as I consider moving the curtain back. No drama ensues. I mostly stand in one spot, not moving, watching it.

I think this relates (to real life) somewhat to when we had a large raven in our house in Brisbane for a couple weeks, years ago, while its wing was healing (after being attacked by a neighbor’s dog). It used to sit on the back of the chair near my desk in the same manner.

In another dream, that resets several times in different ways, I am more in an abstract awareness of my breathing and location in time and space. There is the clear idea of the “layers” of breathing which is not a feasible concept as it is experienced in my dream state. It is as if I am breathing in the layered manner of a musical recording with at least three different elements (or “bands” of breath continuity) and three different ways of breathing occurring over the same time period. There is one long, even breathing at the “lowest” level and other additional breaths patterned now and then (a bit more sparsely but supposedly of a higher “pitch”) over the first layer. I can even sense the waveform of this type of breathing “pictured” about a foot above my head, but to the side or behind me in a three-dimensional spectroscopic field of about two feet in length. Of course, this makes no real sense because you can only breathe in and out in one breath at a time. Still, I clearly seem to have at least three different forms of breathing going on in rhythmic patterns over time - which realistically would require three different people to achieve in such a manner.

3/6/14

The following is all one dream and did make sense as one cohesive dream when I woke up. However, I was too tired to write all the details so just wrote the highlights. Now looking back at it, these look like all kinds of mini-dreams, when they all originally worked together as one plot. I'm happy I at least wrote the main points down though.

I also remembered that aquatic animals is another dream sign of mine.

8:15 am non-lucid

Dream with Japanese Sign Language in it.

Scene with aquatic animals and non-aquatic animals.

Someone is after my family.

High school reunion, my close friend from the farm dream and someone from my home church are there, even though they didn't attend my high school.

A classmate of mine from Japan tried to get me to memorize a Japanese Christian song so covers my eyes when I sang.

I meet a Deaf person who only knows ASL and a hearing person who is learning ASL and JSL. I try to sign with the Deaf person, but since I only know JSL, can not communicate. Eventually, I turn to writing down what I want to say. I'm worried he thinks I am making up signs when it's really a different language. I suppose I was just showing him I know a sign language too and it's nice to meet him.

1. Car keys, red hair dye, playing with my old Gameboy Color accessory, I turned the light off on it after looking through the zoom part.

Inspiration: I put mom’s car keys in her purse, and also saw my sister’s keys. I recently died some of my hair red. No idea why I suddenly dreamed about that old accessory (mine had a top accessory part with a magnifier and light), wow. XD Maybe because one of my palaces is Pokemon Platinum… I only ever played Pokemon back then.

Also, I woke up at 1:36, which is only about 3 hours after I fell asleep. I notice I’m starting to wake around this time for my first awakening, but it's harder for me to remember details later, I need to really work on making better triggers for earlier dreams like this one!

2. I’m talking to someone about some of my old Japanese translations, and there’s a thick book that’s fallen apart in half towards the back. I look at the page number on the second half, which is 40. I’m discussing with someone the plot of the book and where the fallen off half goes.

3. In a field-type area, Cronus rides in on a horse. Eridan looks really glad to see him. It had the feeling of Cronus giving in to something after a long time of not doing it. Like Cronus was accepting his part in whatever was happening. Eridan gets up on the horse behind him.
The image of the two was a bit fuzzy, like I couldn’t gasp the features just right.

Inspiration: ‘Cause I’m rereading Homestuck, just read the conversation between Eridan and Rose where she blows up his computer. xD Also, I just left off in the part in my book where a dragon (probably) finally accepts his place in his destiny. Also, there was an army camped in a field talking serious business. And I just remembered that Eridan rides a seahorse...

Notes: I woke up many times last night, omg. I think it was from overexcitement, my brain was too active. I had tantalizing glimpses of at least two more dreams but couldn’t tease the details out. :/

All I remember in my dream was a group of people and maybe some driving. I also remember dreaming about my Magma M249 from Counter-Strike. I was able to select the colors and when selecting, I'd be in space looking at a cluster of colored stars.

I think if I have one more dream about wandering buildings after this, I'll add it to my dream signs.

3. I’m wandering around a neighborhood and buildings. I run into a guy, and I ask him what these two letters in my ‘interests’ box stand for. In my mind I see a column with my ‘interests’ such as fandoms, hobbies, etc, written in it. I think the last letter was ‘f’. It’s how people find each other there I guess. He tells me the media name and I say ‘oh yeah’.

I wander into a building and am lost. I find a room and think it could be an exit. There’s a young African American girl standing there. I ask her about the room, and she says her mom is in there sleeping because she’s sick. I ask her if that’s all that’s in there, because I’m still hoping for a way out. She silently closes the curtain(?) over the room.

I feel like that scene repeated, like I went through there before. And that I’d seen the girl outside at my old school and talked to her.

Inspiration: Two letters part comes from my PAO system.

4. In a school cafeteria with my friends, the lunchlady tells me the food has already been put away. We manage to find some cookies(?) to eat though.

Lunchlady reminded me unfavorably of Miss L, an old teacher. Or Miss Trunchbull from Matilda. I swear I’ve had a very similar dream before, that or my déjà vu is just on the fritz again. @_@

I added my dreams signs to a memory palace, so I can run through them as a reminder as needed. I have a hard time remembering them all for RC's, so I'm starting with water and trying to increase my awareness of it first.

1. Something about Sollux and thumbs.

Inspiration: I’m continuing my reread of Homestuck and talked to Sollux in the Alterniabound flash game, which made me remember how much I love him. Wish I remembered what the thumbs part was about, lol. Should have made a better trigger for it, because I think I remembered when I first woke up. But hey, it was 2:35 AM.

2. I’m at a store looking at a bunch of anime posters on a rack. I see some from a show I know, but they’re from a series/season I haven’t seen yet. I see one of Hibari and start digging it out. There’s someone else there and they’re helping me get it out of its wrapping so I can see its number.

There are multiple numbers so I end up just looking for the SKU number. I think it said ‘SKA’ but I knew it was the SKU number, so I wrote it down so I could look for the poster online or something.

It’s a bit fuzzy here, but ‘I’ say “Kamikorosenai~” (Don’t bite me to death~”) without the 'de' on the end in a plea for Hibari not to hurt me.

Inspiration: The numbers and letters had to come from my PAO system, which is funny, because I used that very system to remember the SKU part in my dream palace.

Note: Hibari is from the manga/anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. ‘Kamikorosu’ (“I’ll bite you to death.”) is his catchphrase. He’s a stickler for rules so maybe he thought I was stealing his poster. 8)

Dream 1
Not lucid

I arrived at my parent’s house and was in my old room and kept taking off clothing and putting it back on because I didn’t like what I was wearing. I did that several times and finally put a white shirt on and a short sleeved pink button up shirt that has blue strips on it. I went down the stairs and my parents were saying they were going to head out to my grandparent’s house. So they went outside and got into a motor home. They said that I should probably go take a shower first because I smell like a dead animal that I stepped in. I went and took the shower and met back up with them afterwards.

Dream 2
Not Lucid

I was inside a store like target or kohls and some other random people and I decided that we were going to play different sports. But at this moment it was time for laser tag. I set it up and was ready to start playing but a person said I did it wrong as I didn’t give the bear costume to anybody. Also I didn’t pick somebody to be the hostage that ran in front of the bear yelling OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO~!! As they tried to get away from the bear. I grabbed the costume and gave it to a girl and told another girl to be the hostage and they agreed and put it on. We started the round and we looked all over for the other team but they never left base and so we went over there and shot them with our lasers and won the match. After the game the guy next to me tried to smoke his cigarette as we walked out the store but a lady that worked there came up and said he can’t do that and he would get rid of it and then light up another one she came up again and told him yet again he couldn’t do that. He told her that other people were doing it so he could as well. She said no they can’t either I am going to tell them as well but first you need to stop. He finally put it out and vanished from my sight. I went into a bathroom before I left the store and as I walked in the lady was in there with the guy and she was putting out his cigarette in the urinal. She said I told you can’t smoke here. She then left and he was upset about it. I started to go pee but realized I didn’t like this urinal and I wanted to use a different one. I started peeing and walking and aiming for each urinal on the way to not get any on the floor or wall. As I did this I walked past the guy I was with earlier and accidently peed on him as he was in the way he got upset and left and I got closer to the urinal I wanted but as I got to it it vanished. I was still peeing this whole time and now my pee was going up the wall some people started coming in so I aimed to pee on the ground and acted like nothing was going on.

Dream 3
Not Lucid

I went to my grandma’s house and went inside and went towards the bathroom but when I did my parents were in there getting ready for their anniversary. I told them happy anniversary and went out of the room.
Dream 4
Not lucid

I was sitting on a couch with an old friend named Andrew and another random person. We were talking and I brought up that I saw his golden retriever in one of my dreams earlier that night. I was saying how torch was a good dog and was very nice. He also had a cat that was climbing around on the couch.

Dream 1
Not lucid

I was in a grocery store/ super store. While I was in there I noticed it was a game day as people were playing different games all over. I walked over to one of them which was you had a big list of characters to pick from. People picked the different characters they liked and tried to jump into the game but they couldn’t seem to get into the game. Each person tried and tried till time ran out and then they would get out. It was now my turn as I walked up and looked at the list of characters. I looked at them all and in the bottom right hand corner I saw two characters that looked the same but one had a smile on it. They both looked like a big pile of poop. I picked the one without the smile and the icon vanished and I jumped into the black hole that was in its place. I was in the game and was running towards a row of cubicles hitting points on the wall to get coins. I turned right but it was a dead end I turned around and took another right and came to the exit and left the game. I was now on the outside of the store and came back in through an entrance. As I came back in people were cheering me on as I did really good job and how I had the best time. I told them it was nothing you just need to pick the shitty character to play and then just run straight. I told them I could of did better as wasted 5 seconds by taking the wrong turn instead of just going straight. I then left that game and went towards another game. This one involved rolling a plastic container of like some kind of seasoning. Not a small one but a medium sized container. I saw 1 person go first and they rolled it on the ground and it hit a really low prize and they got it. I noticed there was rock climbing stuff above that and a boat above that in the distance though there were some different prizes like coffee and cinnamon rolls and other things. I rolled and hit the coffee and went over and found out they ran out so I got to pick some waffles or cinnamon rolls I looked around for the prize but couldn’t find the correct sized package. The person behind me got gum and came over and found it and showed me. I got about 2 things of waffles and they got two sticks of gum we were upset as they were horrible prizes. I went over to a table and sat down and was talking with this girl at the table. She was upset and was saying she was upset because her dad died and he was a really nice guy.

Dream 2

I was heading into a class with a wooden chair and as I went in with it realized we weren’t going to be doing it outsie so I was upset that I brought this chair all the way with me.
