dream fragment

I forgot most of this dream already, but I remember getting a key that would allow me to telecommute in a new job.

I will choose to interpret this as my subconscious giving me the key to success in the job search: you can do it!

Dream recall from today's nap, had a bit of trouble not being able to fall asleep, but when i did still managed to get lucid.

Dream 1:

I wake up and get up from my bed because of some weird noise then i realize that headphones are on me, and i take them off, can still hear binaural beats, confirming that i am dreaming, i look around and the room is once again an almost exact replica of my room from waking life, dream fades out and i wake up.
I decide to DEILD from there, but i failed.

Dream 2(fragments):
I was at home, but then i went to some kind of cave, searching for something. Then i was back at home again and i was trying to figure out why i was still listening to binaural beats, but dream faded out before i could take off headphones.

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall being in some kind of futuristic vehicle and then visiting some kind of a base.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in team of villains and we were doing some stuff and i had some type of ability, we had an hideout and there was some kind of mechanism, but it was not working anymore. Then something went wrong and i was kicked off the team.
Then i was in some video game, that was some first person shooter with guns, but later it transformed into an RTS. It looked like an combination of Warcraft 3 and Starcraft, there were units and buildings from both. The mission was to protect the base, but most of the attackers were SCVs for whatever reason, though they were rather powerful SCVs. Marines were defending the base and there were bunkers too, some mages were supporting them and workers were building more buildings. I was controlling some special builder that was technically helping the base, but he had other plans and the objective was to not let anyone discover that it's special builder till certain point in the game. Enemy units were becoming more powerful with time and base was getting more buildings with more powerful units too, but in the end, very massive dark thing arrived at the mountain to the north. That was the time to use special abilities of builder, i morphed him into 'living' building and started made a special unit. As it was ready video game switched back to first person and i was controlling that unit. Game got to the point where there was mass of the buildings that were spawning black dragons to attack that huge enemy, but there was not much success until i attacked it with my unit. The size of that enemy was so huge that it was bigger than the whole base, he was attacking using dark energy projectiles but he ended up destroying units on his side as i was dodging them with my unit, making me laugh. Then i started throwing series of huge fireballs at him, that were so powerful, they were knocking him back! In the end, the enemy was destroyed. And dream skipped.
Can't recall much after that but there i was in tunnels and there was some problem for which i had to hire a lawyer apparently.

slept from about 9pm - 6:30 am, longer than usual

i have created a picture of a landscape. it is idyllic: soft rolling hills and cliffs covered in green grass and criscrossed by wide blue rivers. the sky is black. i decide to post it on my tumblr. someone on tumblr whom i admire is with me and she encourages me to submit it to a popular art tumblr (god, this dream is embarassing). the picture i have made merges with other similar pictures to form a vast landscape. suddenly i enter into the landscape. it's very beautiful. the green land slopes down to an open sea, with cliffs and high hills far behind and many small rivers and lakes. the area is populated with thousands of teenagers. one of them comes up to me and informs me that this is "teen world". the teens are now deciding on how to govern their country. a guy goes around asking different teens their opinion. they all give noncommittal answers: "uh, can't we just do regular stuff? lets just chill."

then i am in the townhouse kitchen. i open the fridge and there are many different types of popsicles: cyclones, chocolate ones, and creamsicles. i decide to eat a chocolate popsicle even though they are my least favourite popsicle in real life. it tastes delicious.

Dream 1: I was at some kind of store, with my mother, and purchased a chocolate bar of some description. Across the street there was another store, the name began with "K"

Dream 2: I was in my school's metalworking shop, cutting a few pieces of steel on one of the shears - which was positioned on top of our CNC plasma cutter. There was also something about paper templates.

Dream 3: There was something about someone going around and "corrupting" people - also, for some inexplicable reason beyond "dream logic" everyone was apparently an anthropomorphic fox.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing a video game about warriors of some kind, maybe samurais, and there was one level in dark city.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was on dreamviews and we were debating with paigeyemps and some other dreamviews members who of us has enough power to defeat certain kind of enemy that was attacking us.

1. I was at my old home, in the shower. It was slightly larger than I remember. There was some kind of radio in the wall, playing a track called "Hypnosis"

2. I was in a classroom. It was completely filled, and the lights were out. I had a laptop or screen in front of me, and I was browsing Deviantart.

3. I was near a lake, in some kind of grassy field.

4. I was on some kind of WW2-era battleship (unknown class)...on land. We were fighting infested terran from StarCraft 2, and a Hybrid Destroyer (same game) showed up - though we called them Servants of Silence (which is from an RP setting I've created).

1am-6am

this dream takes place in the apartment. i have just bought a new pair of jeans. buying these jeans enters you into a contest: the contest details are written on a pink leather square on the back of the jeans. i show the jeans to my mother and she becomes incredibly angry, screaming at me that the jeans are awful and i am stupid for wasting my money on them. i try to reason with her but she continues to furiously berate me.

i later had a lucid dream in which i was able to exert control over the environment -- although i have lucid dreams quite regularly they are typically very short & i am not able to control anything... this dream was different. sadly, i don't recall it too well.
i was inside of a house. something about the environment tipped me off that it could be a dream, so i performed a reality check. it was successful, so i ran outside of the house (rubbing my hands to stabilize the dream -- i remember i looked at my hands once and they looked normal, which i've never experienced dream before) into an autumnal forest area with many elaborate fountains scattered around. the fountains were all turned off but i was able to will them to begin flowing. i felt an invigorating rush of power. this is the first time i've been able to change the environment in a LD and makes me optimistic for my dream control in the future.

7am-9:30 am

i am in an unfamiliar house with three teenage boys and an older woman. at one point i ask the woman what the boys think of me. she tells me i disgust them with my insecurity. i have a breakdown and begin crying. i think i might have to go to the mental hospital.

later i dream that i am playing sims 3. there is a new item, a box that your sim can crawl into. when you click on it there is an option to "enter the dread cave". i choose this option: my sim enters and does not come back. the scene then switches from observing a video game to being inside of a real life scene. the box has turned into a kennel and there is a small black dog here. i put the dog into the kennel but it escapes somehow. i talk with someone about this and we somehow make the dog want to be locked in the kennel.

Total sleep time: 6+hrs

Dream recall method: key words;

Other: Weekends can be so loud, tried WBTB but woke up bf instead and he began walking around. To make it worse neighbours contributed with lots of noise, waking me abruptly, my last dream memory was completely erased.

HH: the melody of my toy when I was very young

Dream1: I was talking to a friend of my mom and her son. We then together dye eggs. I am supposed to help them, but I do it wrong. They tell me you have to put the eggs in boiling oil otherwise the paint won’t hold. What? Her son, who is about my age, comes to me and starts caressing my shoulder or something like that. I am not very at ease with this, although the feeling is nice. This is a somewhat awkward moment, I don’t look at him but instead try to think of a question to ask him to stop him from being so close to me, and his mom is watching this. This feels weird.

Dream2: was in deep sleep (3:00-3:30 hrs after falling asleep); some very enjoyable dream, but have no memory at all; just a feeling of happy elation

Dream3: Out of the darkness, I see some kind of music clip that begins to play, the sound is everywhere. It is a very pleasant music, relaxing, resonating everywhere. The video is very appealing to me as well, some wise Indian men in their city, their daily life, the camera travels in the city. I like it a lot, watching the video and listening to this nice music.

Then, I become part of the video and it is a tour of Honk Kong now, I see the skyscrapers. I am in some kind of bus and the inspector comes for my ticket. I start looking for it, but it is not in my pocket. While I do that some things of mine fall on the floor, the inspector picks them up. I finally find some kind of ticket and show him, he smiles and goes on his way.



[This is the closest style to the music I heard, the melody was different]

Fragment3: My dad was angry about something…My parents are there, I tell them I want to buy two plates for myself, very beautiful ones, but as I point them out the plates change shape and become bowls…My parents say no…I am disappointed.

Forgot most of this dream:

Some man saying something about the need to discontinue something, maybe discontinue dream or discontinue game.

Dream recall from today's naps, also done TOTM.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was on my PC, visiting dreamviews and posting some stuff.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was in some kind of futuristic city, i was in group and we were cleaning some kind of factory from some kind of creatures. Later on we were in different building talking to the AI that controlled the factory. The creatures returned to the factory, but before we could fight them again, AI blocked our way and we just had to watch robots dealing with them.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was discussing something with family and then there was scene where some dude was researching 'safe' snakes with very weak bite. Later on we were looking out of the window and there, there were two factions of creatures fighting on the neighboring building, one of them were some kind of 'rodents'. Everyone was suggesting to bomb the place, but i wanted to save 'rodents'. Then dad came and his eyes were weird, like split in two. I shouted that he's "one of them"(presumably the other faction of two) in disguise, he said 'how so?' and his eyes moved 'inside' leaving eye sockets empty. Then shortly there were four eyes, For some reason i started counting them, after i counted they were split again to eight, i counted again, then sixteen, his face was slowly mutating into some fleshy bloody mutated thing and then eyes were split again, thirty two, and then after i counted that, again, sixty four. Dream started destabilizing and i realized that and quickly rubbed hands, stabilizing it, suddenly the idea of TOTM came to me and i was like "Why not?", i shouted: "Rawr!" and nommed the mutant face. Dream faded to black, but i felt the taste, it was weird and fleshy.
I wake up with some heavy HH and i forget to do an reality check, since random idea of turning on the light distracts me. There are many lightswitches and room is huge, but i couldn't find the right one. The i wake up properly.

So much sadness...see the note following the dream.

The first details of the dream are lost but I remember standing with Jen along the north side of the house I grew up in. Trees are around and above me, and to my right are the railroad ties that separated my property from the neighbor's.

I was thinking about how I heard noises the previous night and thought maybe a rat was under the house. I was telling this to Jen when I looked down and saw a blue rubber drainage hose used for draining the washing machine. It was larger than normal and near the end was a large motionless rat.

I pointed at the rat to illustrate what I had just been saying. "See? I guess it ate the poison and once it bit into the hose and found water the poison became activated and killed it." At least, this was my theory.

My gaze travelled to the left and I knew I was correct as I saw another rat, and then several more. I couldn't believe the poison had killed so many rats. Of course I was wrong. As I continued to leek left and see more rats I discovered some were still moving and actively biting into the hose. The more I looked to the left the more alive the rats seemed to be.

I began counting them. One-two....three-four-five-six....seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. That must be all of them. Wait, no, there's more. Twelve-thirteen-fourteen...fifteen, sixteen, seventeen! Wow!

I'm not sure which amazed me more, seeing 17 rats ranging from dead to alive munching on the drainage hose or actually counting from one to seventeen without becoming lucid enough to actually do something.

I woke after this for the need to pee...stupid body.

WHat really made me sad was that I had hoped to have a good sleep period with strong dream recall, you know, because there wasn't any need to wake up early on a Saturday morning. Unfortunately that plan was foiled by my friend calling me at 8:49 AM and waking me to remind me the Scouts were going to do a team-building course this morning and they were meeting at 9:00AM. The act of rushing to get myself and my son dressed, fed, prepared with lunch and up to the meeting place pushed all thought of dream recall from my mind. :(

Dream 1(Fragment):

Was doing stuff at home.

Dream 2(Fragment):

I was in park and i was talking to someone about false awakenings and WILDing.

Dream 3(Fragment):

I was in spaceship of some kind and i was browsing dreamviews from there and there was some sort of discussion.

Dream 1 (fragment): I was in a school with a truly bizarre layout - can't fully remember, but there was a gargantuan theatre, and another school (I think) across the street with a huge swimming pool on the roof.

Dream 2: Who here knows Surgeon Simulator 2013? Because this one apparently started as that, except it was brain surgery. And it wasn't a "game" and we were cutting the poor guy's head open, but we were still talking about it as if it were. His head was about as large as I was tall, and I had one assistant.

So, we remove some skin and then start cutting open the skull, and a large piece (a hexagonal piece)...falls down. We remove it, and we're confronted with what I remember to be is a barrier composed of spheres. I remove it, and two others like it.

It should be noted that there was nothing resembling blood.

So, we get to the brain, and at this point, everything's getting larger. There's a platform on top of the "brain" which only vaguely resembles it if it were using Surgeon Simulator 2013's graphics and was a top-down view, and it was pulsing. We apparently had to remove debris of some description, things like large rocks. The patients' head also became a rock? So, we pick up this large, car-sized roughly-cubical rock with telekinesis, and just fly out, straight up, as if it were Minecraft. A cubical portal appears, the four sides and the bottom made of the same rock, the top being the "portal" which was blue and swirly. We drop the rock, go down, and grab five more (though we were outright told in the dream "remove the four rocks"), dispose of them in the portal, which is now roughly 3x wider, and more irregular on the sides. There's also a large skull made of rock that resembles a T-Rex skull. We remove that, too.

I also notice we're in a forest, and the rocky head thing is less "rocky head" and more "giant rock formation as large as one of these trees" (with a tree being about...not sure, 5-8 meters tall, assuming my height remained the same?), and the interior was much larger. The hole on the top is also circular.

At this point, a creature falls from the sky. It is blue, and resembles Chaos from the Sonic Adventure series if he had much better graphics. Kind of. It also appears as large as I do at this point. It conjures up an odd-looking tornado (it was blue), and I rip off its' arm and hit it with it, but it gets sucked back into it, then the creature gets sucked under the leg of a dresser. So, I apparently remember that the objective of this was to delay some alien invasion.

I cannot recall anything else if it happened, so at that point I'll assume it ended.

So the earliest I can remember besides small fragments is trying to get donuts at a donut shop for the second basic monthly dream goal. I wanted to take the donuts to some characters from a TV show (Supernatural) that I was planning on hanging out with so we could all have donuts together. I told the guy behind the counter that I wanted "Four of everything" and he laughed and wouldn't give me any donuts, because that was way too much. Then he left and I had to put the donuts into the box myself, and left without paying. Then, I tried to teleport to the people I was planning on meeting, but just as I was getting halfway into their room, it was like some force drove me away, and I ended up a floor above them in a hallway (they were staying at a two-story motel). I wasn't really sure how to get back to them so I release this ball of light from my hands and tell it to lead me to them. It goes pretty fast, though, and as I try to follow it, I lose it or the dream changes or something. All I remember is that I never make it to the people I was supposed to meet and I never got to taste my donuts.

At some point I'm Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves and I have just defeated Smaug, so in celebration we slide down this big hill/small mountain thing and splash into the small pond below it, like a medieval water slide. I don't remember Gandalf being around. At some point I stop being bilbo and become a dwarf, but I don't remember who. Bored, I go west and explore some of the mountains, while suddenly the dream becomes 16-bit and third-person. I find this entrance to a cave that is blocked off, like in pokemon. I think I need a pokemon with Strength or Rock Smash or something like that to get through it, but when i walk up to it, for some reason I'm able to enter anyway. There I find a pokemon standing in a room. It's little sprite looked a bit like Giratina or Groudon. When I went up to it and talked to it, I find it's called The King, and is level 127 (or 177, I can't remember - although I'm pretty sure it was the former). It's bigger, more detailed sprite shows a a groudon-like body that is slimmer than groudon, with a regular lizard tail and lizard head, with those three yellow rib-things that Giratina has. In it's left hand, it's holding a smaller grey lizard. I think he's the king - of lizards. None of my pokemon were very high level, and I couldn't capture it. Even when I took away a good half of it's health, when it seemed to regain health by defeating my pokemon. Once I was defeated, I ran back to the little pond and told bilbo about it, because since I was him earlier, he has all the powerful pokemon that I do in real life, and he could capture The King.

At some point my parents are in this small room with me lecturing me about something, but that was when I had just recently become lucid, so instead of paying attention to them, I'm looking around me and trying to make the dream as clear as possible. All I remember is that the walls were a light brown and I was looking at something metal and black.

There was also something about someone or something that lived in a swamp and it was going through a rough time, so my friend was there to try and help it. I came because I was bored. I don't really remember what happened, but there were rotten fruit lying around as floating, 2-dimensional objects like you see in minecraft.
