dream fragment

One guy telling another a story, talking about certain things he'd been taught to believe about people in the city. "Were they right?" "No, it was Inanna." (Meaning a festival.) "Everyone was pretty much partying."

A guy enters an underground medieval fantasy city, and quickly manages to get himself suspected of thievery by the blacksmith's daughter who marches him over to the jail. The jailer takes him off her hands, then tells him confidentially that actually, he's got a job in mind and could use the help of a more experienced burglar, if the stranger's up for it.

The word 'bokor' written backwards as a spell.

An old text adventure game's been converted into a movie, and it starts off with this adventurer falling out of his spaceship - which is an in-joke for the players, about how if you typed the least thing wrong you'd get the character killed in a variety of creative ways, and most people managed to die at least once with their first command, just trying to walk out of the spaceship.

A guy's giving a friend a pair of gold gloves with protective octagonal symbols on the back. He's been concerned for a while - the friend receiving the gloves holds some important, inherited religious rank which requires him to handle a ceremonial weapon on certain occasions, and he's meant to take good care of his hands because of that. But lately he's been getting careless, particularly when sparring with someone, allowing them to go too far.

First, a small fragment. Again, zombies. Now I was at the prison they found on the third season of The Walking Dead (started season three last night) and I was lost there. It was dark and I kept running into zombies, but I couldn't find a safe cell block. It was stressful.

Second, a dream. I was home and my phone rang. I answered, it was a guy I went to school with until I was 11. He was saying that he had missed me and that we should meet up some time. I said sure and told him we could do something on Saturday. He said he couldn't get his dad's car for Saturday, so I told him to send me a text with his address and I'd pick him up.

While talking to him, I started watching TV and I remember seeing Jeff and Abed from Community. That reminded me I had to go out to do something, so I left home (no idea what happened to the phone call). I was walking down a street when those guys broke a window's store and robbed some perfume bottles. A woman who worked at a different store, but on the same street, saw everything too. As the guys were leaving, they dropped one bag and I took it.

The woman turned to me and said that those bottles were worth R$100 each. She said she'd buy them from me for R$50 each and sell them for R$75. For some reason, that totally made sense for me, so I was about to give her the bag when the guy I had talked to earlier on the phone showed up. He asked me what was going on and I suddenly realised I was doing something wrong. I told him I had found the bag from the other store and I had to return it. The woman wasn't happy about it.

Then, I took my friend to my uni campus. Except that it had turned into an amusement park. We had fun, but then things got awkward. We wanted to kiss, so I did. It was weird and I remember thinking "I like girls, but if I kiss him just this once, things will be fone, right?"

We soon realised we had no chemistry at all, and then I freaked out because it was Saturday night and I promised my aunt and uncle that I'll go to their place on Saturday for dinner (in real life). I told my friend we had to go and we started running.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some futuristic RTS game.

Dream 2:

I was playing some warcraft 3 custom map, single player with 3 AIs. It was rather small, square with players starting in corners and some formations of trees including + shape in the center. It played somewhat differently, mainly resource and unit building was different, one had to build houses and there was income from them per time period, and everything else used resources per time period. I was rather passive and decided to watch AI fight while keeping my starting units hidden. Then after a while i rethinked the situation and started building base on the northern part of the map, i was building it very rapidly and ran out of resources at one point, then i somehow expanded the map in north-east corner and got some bonus, enough to build two huge houses for resource generation. Then i made barracks and started making military units but then game announced that i apparently won... AIs destroyed each other. There was some outro video of some kind of global map with nice music.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was at home and i was seeing some hallucinations, then i was preparing for nap by standing on one leg in some weird position...

August 24 2013 - Dream Fragment #1 I remember driving in a car with my mother. She was talking about something that had happened on an island, and I didn't know what it was for some reason or other. I remember arriving on the side of this huge lake and seeing many islands in the distance. (I also remembered things from the Karate Kid throughout the dream, but that was really random and non-important) We took a boat out onto the lake and she said she was going to see the island where she grew up. We finally got out to where she said it was, and she looked down into the water and pointed to a dark shape about 10 feet underneath that went on for farther than I could see. I asked her how she could live there and she said that once it was above water, and there were many houses on it and people living there. She said that she was one of the few to make it out alive when the island started collapsing. I had a flashback to when people were trying to get out and I remember seeing my mom go for a boat and drive away with like six other people. We then got back to shore, and got in our car. As we approached the gated exit, another car, a Jeep (I don't know what model) pulled up next to us and a guy started talking to my mom.

Dream Fragment #2 - I remember being in a grocery/department store and looking at food. I also remember my friends and I standing around talking about something while there were futuristic-looking cops outside.

The entire dream takes place in a two story house where my fiancée and I live, but not in real life. If this place exists in real life, I want to know about it because it is awesome.

The first part of the dream was concentrated on trying to prove that some people who had come into my house were trying to steal from and harm me. It lasted a while and ultimately resulted in them leaving because I had proven their intentions. I can't remember specifics, only bits of memory.

The second part of the dream started where I was sitting in a chair on the bottom floor, when a cat walked up to me and rubbed against my leg. I stared at it and thought "Wait, I don't have a cat yet?" Then I noticed another cat, and another until there were dozens. I walked into the living room and found they had opened and small window on the wall next to the floor, like those you have in you're basement, and they had also managed to open the screen. They kept pouring in and I knew that they had been the cats living under my house. I managed to round them all up and herd them back outside through the small window, then I closed it and the screen. I walked into the other room when suddenly a lioness walked up to me and started rubbing against me also. I was shocked, what was a lion doing in a rural area. Then after a while of trying to get her to leave, which she refused to do, another lion came up to me. I could tell he was young because his mane was just now starting to grow in, but he had jaguar spots. I assumed he was a lion, jaguar hybrid. All they wanted to do was play with me, and on my way to my mothers room (both my mother and brother lived with me at this point), a black panther showed up and joined the happy, playful, other big cats. I got to my mothers room and woke her up. She asked what were these big cats doing here and I told her they had just showed up. She got up and left her room, then I lead them into the room, ran out fast, and closed the door. My brother was awake and asking what was going on so I told him. He got excited and went into the room to play with them. I warned him that just because they were tame doesn't mean they won't go into hunter mode and try to eat him if he made the wrong move. He ignored me and continued on. I grabbed my phone while my mother explained to me that when lots of cats live under your house it means you have a snake din under your house too, and she knew people that had lots of cats show up only to have snakes pour out of the crevices moments later. I blocked up the widow again and started looking everywhere for the number to animal control. The lions had destroyed my moms room by that time and we re herded them into the down stairs bathroom. My mom said they would just destroy that too but I had to put them somewhere. My brother had stopped playing with them and they were in the bathroom alone. I continued looking for a number everywhere then finally tried the Internet. I found a number after a long, annoying, search and called them. A lady answered and I told her that three Jungle cats had made their way into my house and she told me that someone was on the way. My dad came over and my mom went outside to join him. They were talking about something and I ended up in the backseat while my dad drove my mother and I away. After he rounded the corner I freaked out and said I had to be there when animal control got there or they would leave. My dad argued but finally agreed to turn around. I suddenly got a very bad feeling and became afraid for my life. My dad was driving really fast and recklessly. I told them my fears and he just wondered why I thought that. He missed my road and we started driving in an area I didn't recognize. Suddenly, the realization dawned on me that I was dreaming. I became very relieved and decided I would do a WILD. I succeeded and found I had no patience for a crazy drive around the block so I made the road to my house appear and my dad took it. Upon arrival to my house I lost the WILD and went fully back into the dream, but stayed lucid. I went inside and found the animal control dead in my moms room. My brother said the two lions had bi-polar disorder and went crazy. I saw them and grabbed a piece of meat, then I threw it in the bathroom and re trapped them. They started clawing madly at the door while I called animal control again. They sent another person my way when we all started working on barricading the door with our bodies before it got broken out. They had busted it up to be pretty thin, but we managed to keep it closed, mostly from my lucid influence, when animal control finally arrived. I told him what had happened and he brought in a net gun. We opened the door and he shot a net at them that had special properties to put whatever was inside it to sleep. He asked where they came from and I said most likely someone in the area had raised them without the authorities knowledge. I asked him to check under my house for snakes as well and we followed him down there. We went under the porch and he started pulling up the paneling one by one and found there were no snakes. Instead there was hundreds of rats. They got angry when a flashlight was shone on them and we left. I got stuck under the boards of my porch when my claustrophobia came over me. I started panicking so I teleported myself by lucid means to the other side of the porch and found everyone else had gotten stuck too. Knowing they couldn't do what I had just done, I helped pull them out one by one. Animal control left after that and when I went back inside I found that he had forgotten the big cats passed out on my floor, and they were starting to wake up. I called them and told them they had to come back. I was waiting for them to return when I started thinking about another dream I had had in the past and decided I wanted to know what had happened to it while I was gone. I transported my vision to look at a place I had lived in another dream. I found that it had been bought by a guy with a motor cycle and that made me unhappy. I really liked that place and hated how that dream had ended up, with me having to leave and sell the house. I saw him motor away and found that he had put up a circular motorcycle ramp in the backyard. I was glad that he had kept the tree swing and playground structures though. I was discussing the place with my mom when I woke up.

This lucid dream actually made me very happy after I woke up. I found I managed to do these lucid things with little to no difficultly for the first time hurray for progress.

My dreams have definitely a new theme: zombies. Thank you, The Walking Dead.

Unfortunately, this is just a fragment. I only remember running away from zombies. They've changed, though. In previous dreams, they were a nuisance. For example, I had to cross the street and zombies were there, so I had to take a different street and I would be annoyed that the zombies had made me waste time. Now, the zombies are dangerous. They are scary and they go after me (they didn't before, they'd just stand there being ugly). In this dream, they could run and I had to run away from them. Zombies suck.

But, well... I'll try to use them as a dream sign.

LD induction attempt:

MILD, then WBTB/WILD

Thursday, August 22 3:30 am

I am part of an IRC class on lucid dreaming. I can't remember exactly what we were discussing though. I'm trying to show everyone in the class something that I feel is super important, though in my dream I don't really know WHY it is important. I just know it is a perfect example for our lucid dreaming discussion. While at the IRC, I am also at a LD forum (not DreamViews, some other forum I've never seen before), and there is a member who's name isn't right. There is a letter that doesn't match any letter at all in the alphabet! I realllly want to share this with the class, but just as I am about to submit a screenshot, I lose my internet connection. This seriously irritates me, because I feel like I HAVE to send this in, it is SUPER important to me, and I am frantic trying to refresh the chat and get it to connect again. Why I'm doing this, I don't know because I lost my connection, meaning I *should* wait for it to come back, instead of trying to refresh the webpage. But, I keep trying until my alarm finally wakes me up.


A note I want to make on this dream. I feel I was really close to lucidity for two reasons. One, I noticed something odd about that user name, and though I didn't understand why, I felt it of VITAL importance to share with the rest of the LD class. Had I managed to reconnect, I wonder if I wouldn't have told them it was an example of a dream sign....TWO, I kept trying to get my laptop to refresh the webpage. I lost the internet connection, therefore I should have just waited for it to come back, refreshing the page would do no good--yet I did it anyway. I wonder if some small part of me understood that it would eventually work if I kept trying, because of the odd way electronics behave in dreams. THEN there's the sheer frantic nature, the NEED to reconnect and show what I discovered to the LD class. It was such a strong feeling, I felt it even upon waking

Total sleep time: 8 hrs

Pre bed: nada

Dream quality and recall: average vividness, deep sleep and challenging recall

Comment: there was an increase in emotions during daytime, which is evident in the dream as well.

Early fragment: some story about dreaming and accounting for lds

Dream: I am waiting for the train, then get on it. A friend of mine is supposed to sit next to me but goes in the other carriage instead. I am taking my shoes off, white socks. The guy next to me is already asleep. Then the perspective changes and I see four of them - friends dining together (without me). I become enraged and show them the finger. They raise their glasses and so do I. My shirt now has wine stain that I try to clean with a cloth, but the cloth is dirty so it gets worse. Then I remember that I can use bread and ham to clean it, just like my dad did. I also take a bite out of my "detergent".

Fragment: A girl from my class is attracted to me and is kissing me. Later the class meets and I have some concerns about her kissing me in front of others. (I don't even like her irl)

WBTB (+had some anxiety thoughts initially)

Mini-ld: I have a FA at home with the person I was thinking about in the beginning of the WBTB. He irritates me and I become angry shouting at him. I realize this is a dream (I read something about karma and emotions during dreams yesterday). My anger vanishes and I make a remark about this. I go on to leave the building. Unfortunately, I don't remember if I phased or how I got outside, just that I was trying to fly down. So I am on a balcony or window and want to fly down the way the girl does in the end of Crouching tiger Hidden dragon, slowly. I succeed in controlling the speed of the flying till I reach the ground, then I go up again. I think I woke up soon after that.

No notes, went back to sleep.

Mini-ld fragment: I am in an unfamiliar room and there is a man in front of me and suddenly I shout at him my anxiety thoughts. Again, I realize this is a dream, I am quite happy I was able to catch this again. I apologize, the man smiles. Unfortunately, I can't recall anything else, the dream ends with the void. I shortly try to summon Angel Falls, but the position which I am imagining myself is making me feel uncomfortable. The images fade away.

Mini-ld: I am on the street but feel like my dream control is not working very well because everybody is walking towards me daringly. A dog charges at me and I start some sort of thought/control manipulation to stop it, but in the end grab it and put it on my shoulder/head and neutralize it. Three female DCs are bothering me, I have no idea what they want. I remember I can escape from them by flying, so I fly just a bit above them. However, they can still reach me and I am coming down against my will. I only know one other way to deal with them and ask them if this is what they want. They say yes and I rip one of the girls' clothes off. I wake up before any censure is necessary.

Fragment: Thus guy I know is giving an interview for the newspaper

#1: Helping mom load some meat into a big black bag on the back of a truck. I find a bag of roast she missed and hand it to her and she put it in as well.

Possible inspiration: We bought a lot of meat to eat recently and we use black bags for trash. I was thinking about my vehicular dream sign before bed so maybe that’s where the truck came from (we don't own one).

#2: Grandma’s house. Don’t remember much, but I think I flew (grr I missed out on it). And something about hiding from grandpa?

Notes: Woke three times in all. Had a bit of trouble getting to sleep (thank you cat, but I’m not a big fluffy pillow), and was too tired to check the time and such. Really need to get to bed sooner, apparently 9+ hours ain’t enough. Also need to get more sleeping pills. Using the laptop is working out really great though. With my notebook, I couldn't understand my handwriting, but even if I mistype on the laptop, I can still read it. So used to deciphering typos by now. =P

3rd person. Tradition dictates the pharaohs of this dynasty marry on the first day of the new year for symbolic purposes, but his intended bride is tired of waiting. She cuts her leg with a knife and lets the blood run down into the dirt, a ritual attempt to soothe the drought the land is going through with her own life; since she isn't yet royalty, this is all she can do. Her intended husband watches this and decides to break with tradition and hurry the wedding. However, there's an incident where the couple goes on a voyage with their servants and attendants, and a woman is seen waiting outside at night to meet a lover in secret - it may have been one of the servant girls, but a rumor starts that it was the intended queen.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'm a student in a small class of maybe 10 undergrads, taught by Mr. G., a favorite IRL high school teacher, in a room based on the chapel building at that high school. We're giving presentations, and as I go back to my seat afterwards, I manage to knock over the display that holds up the TV monitor. I catch it and try to put it back to rights while the next person is talking but fail miserably, I think I broke something. One of the other students comes to help, this short geeky guy who does something very complex with the display, and I just stand back to watch. Turns out he's really, really good with his hands, I'm kind of into it. That was unexpected. I start talking to him and he mentions that he's got some hobby that involves building things, which seems pretty cool to me since I'm pretty much useless at anything practical, but he looks like I'm making him nervous so I back off.

But when the scene changes to show me back at my apartment (doesn't resemble anywhere I've lived IRL - colorful and cluttered, deep blue walls, hanging plants and vines in every corner), he's come along with me and my friends, or roommates, I don't know who these DCs are meant to be but we're close. As we walk in the door, the short/geeky/unexpectedly hot DC is saying to one of them, this blonde girl with all these little braids in her hair, "You're not on the drain, are you?" which is apparently some kind of drug. "I would never," she says, acting all offended - waking me can't tell if she's serious or not, either way dream me thinks it's funny. We came back here to get high anyway.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I'd been flying down through the levels of some mansion and heading outside, planning my night, weighing the appeal of being alone vs being seen, but when I fly out the door, True Blood's Ginger is at the gate. She wants to come back to work at the club. She'd taken maternity leave but lost the kid, and tried to come back to the club pretty much immediately afterward, but the boss told her to take the paid time off anyway - I don't know why she's so desperate to come back, she doesn't work for tips so the money's the same. But she convinces me to let her in, and she tells me where to find the key to the gate. I go get it, but it's got some kind of trap - when I uncover the key, a dart shoots out and hits Ginger.

Flashback. First time I'd met Ginger, she'd been hysterical, claiming someone, a priest, had been kidnapped by these two guys I knew well and was being held in their barn. The guys tell me the priest was there, but perfectly fine. Giving a sermon, in fact.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

3rd person, following Julia. She's waiting by a statue at the gate to a city park, sometime around the turn of the 19th/20th century, and she works in a country estate as a maid or a nanny or a governess or something - anyway, she's just come into the city for the day. She's meant to be meeting one of the other servants there, but the woman she's meeting is late. Julia doesn't really mind, it's helped her make a decision actually. She's been thinking about how much fun she had on an earlier outing with me, just watching (??? something involving birds, seemed like a very ordinary everyday event for most people but something she hadn't done before), and thinking about the drab grey dress she's wearing, and always wears, covering her ankles, and generally thinking about taking chances and breaking out of her shell and so on. She stops waiting for her friend and, thinking about how much she's got to do and counting up how much money she has with her, she first goes to buy postage and mail a letter she'd already written but hadn't decided whether or not to send until now.

Her thoughts about money derail the storyline - a guy at the door of a restaurant convinces her to step inside and she finds unexpected fees piling up on her.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

Just a fragment of dialogue (phone call woke me up): "-chance to take hold. Valerian root," in a male voice, possibly mine.

May 29 2013 - Dream Fragment/Full Dream (It was long) #1 - I dreamed about going with the people in my math class to a U2 concert somewhere in Boston/New York, and we went in. We got tickets and I saw a candy dispensing machine, and went to get some, but on the way saw a machine making popcorn, and grabbed a handful. I felt guilty and needed to pay for it, but for some reason it was free. I took too long and missed one showing, but there were more. There was an attached hotel with stone walls and more or less primitive beds, and each band showing there had a room for people. I was looking for my room, and couldn’t find it. My mom was staying in the Bon Jovi one, and showed me mine. I felt very unsettled there and decided to watch some TV before turning off the lights. I fell asleep and woke up, and did a RC. I had woken up.

Dream Fragment #2 - I remember something about running, and then something about dying. I also remembered being right outside the math wing at the high school. I snapped awake and sat up in bed very fast. Did an RC, was awake. I then attempted to DEILD.

Dream Fragment #3 Something about a hatchet, and I have a false awakening. I see something about school (even though it wasn’t lucid, the DEILD did something), and wake up. I am awake.

May 28 2013 - Dream Fragment #1 - Cruise ship. Something about 450 million dollars. I have some kind of action sequence and awaken. I do an RC and I am properly awake.

Dream Fragment #2 - I am talking with my friends about games. One of my friends and another kid, presumably my best friend, are playing a small co-op puzzle game, and a kid I know and I are talking. (Very realistic) We seem to go to a video rental store, (not unlike a Blockbuster in terms of shape) and rent some video games. I then immediately wake up, and perform an RC. I am in another dream.

Dream Fragment #3 - Small bubbles are floating around; I can see small knick-knacks in them. The seem very far away, and I can’t reach them. I see one with some platonic solid in it, and will it to come to me, but I wake up for real.

Dream Fragment #4 - I am at a restaurant. (It feels very high up and on a wing of some kind) I see a table adjacent to me, but all the people at it are vampires. I don’t know why, but then I realize the person I am sitting with is a vampire. I do an RC, but then realize I am actually a vampire, too. I wake up for real and it is time to get up.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There were some false awakenings and i was chatting on dragon forum.

Dream 2(fragments):

There was something about cartoon characters and preventing someone from stealing someone's wife and some weird movement in air on something.

Dream 3:

I was at home doing some stuff, walls were different and there was some kind of celebration going on, somebody was asking questions about money and annoying me so i gave him a coin and told him to go away, then went to nap.
Then i wake up and realize that i am dreaming, i get up and go to balcony, dream seems to be unstable a bit but other than that room looks similar to IWL. As i reach balcony door i attempt my new idea for changing forms, reversed transformation, which almost immediately works and i fall into quadruped stance. Though at this point dream destabilizes.
I wake up again but i am still changing, i feel tail, then dream 'desyncs' and what i feel is different from what i see.
Then i wake up again and talk to someone, and wake up again.

i know i should have written it down as soon as i woke up but i over slept and couldn't till the end of the night.

i cant remember most of it now. but there was 2 specific parts of the dream i had last night that stuck with me. i was in this wierd. jungle area inside some ancient and collapsed looking stone ruins of how i assume is Egyptian or mayan. i placed a white bowl with some patterns around the outside into a square shaped hole and a voice asked me a question. i dont remember what the question was but after the voice stopped the area i placed the bowl in filled with blood and the bowl didn't float up with the rising blood. instead it dissolved and molted and went under the now filled hole.

i have no idea what the hell that means.

another one i cant makes sense out of either. there was a smiling-ish face that looked like a cross between The Maze Game Face and smeegle from the lord of the rings.. only it would transition like two pictures back and forth from a normal, clean face to the disgustingly disfigured and bloody face i described, with dark colored bugs iv never seen before..


these kinds of nightmares don't wake me up either..

Started fixing sleeping schedule again, still not much recall but i am sure it will get better after i fix schedule completely.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some game and there was some update that added some characters, and i was talking about dragons with somebody.

Dream 2(fragments):

Was playing some kind of FPS, there was some tech location.
