Fragment of Dreams
02.05.2012 NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I woke up pretty late (~9:40 AM), so I'm really holding on to the images in my head of the dreams I had late last night (I slept around 12AM-1AM). I set an alarm to wake me up at 3:45 AM, and I did the same for the online one. It woke up probably to turn it of, but I was most likely too tired to get up to try a WBTB. And the external alarm clock, I don't know, it still has the preset time for 3:45AM, and the dot to show that the alarm is set should've been gone by now. Did a reality check, but nope, guess something is wrong with me. These dreams most likely didn't start in chronological order either. My recall from them is shit because I slept too long. Dream 1: Classroom and Concept Map Assignment I'm in a classroom, and I see a DC that looks exactly like the AP Psychology teacher I had in High School as a Senior. The class was over, and everyone was handing in their sheets of paper. I get up to go towards the teacher, Mr. White (IRL last name), but then I stop and turn back because something in my mind told me that I had to turn something else in to the shelf at the back of the room. I turn in a worksheet that felt like it was two pages, and then I realize my name wasn't on it, so I go back to the desk and quickly wrote my name (but I couldn't see clearly if I did). After I put that worksheet with the stack that other people were putting it on, I turn back to turn in the other paper in my hand, which seemed to be a concept map. I had some random things written down, and I'm waiting in a short line to turn in the paper. Before it was my turn, I decided to write down a concept that said, "Objective?" and I drew a link and wrote an answer of "Yes." I turn in the paper to the teacher, he looks at it for a while, and I was worried because I was writing something a few seconds before the DC in front of me turned their assignment in, but he puts mine along with the other stacks and I leave to go somewhere. Dream 2: Science classroom & Lunch This dream, I'm not too sure if it was chained with the first one, but I felt like I was going back and forth somewhere...I know I had to do some weird things like making sure that I met the conditions to enter a room....but again, my recall is crap because I let myself doze off too quickly after waking up to the alarm. I'm inside of a room, and I'm not even sure if this was the room I started out in the dream, I most likely was in a room that kept shutting on and off every few minutes I think and then came to this room, but I see a few DCs inside of this class that looks like a Laboratory class since there were large black top tables with the brown cabinets holding them in place. And students were just chilling there, probably waiting for the instructor to come in. I think I see a girl who is a little chunky, and she's wearing a dark blue shirt and jeans as well. She has brown/black hair, and she's looking at me, but I couldn't remember what I did next or how I responded to her. Okay, I don't remember anything else from that dream, so I'll just type a dream fragment I just remembered after this. I was at lunch somewhere waiting in line, I can't remember what types of food I was getting, but I do know that it was condensed down to a small bowl that looked like a rice bowl or soup bowl or something like that. This fragment is kind of similar to the dream I have a few entries back when DCs tried to cheer me up when I was pissed a Cash Register broke my debit card in half with her index finger and thumb. Dream 3: Team Rocket Jessie from Pokemon This dream was different from the rest, so I'll just separate it here. I'm looking at some poster in my hand, I think it's a drawing, and everything is colored. Then after a while of whatever I was doing in the dream, a picture of Jessie, part of Team Rocket from Pokemon, was included in the picture on the left side. She had her arms out and turned her body to the side next to whatever person was inside of the picture. Not too sure on what I did next.
I was being given a tour of Facebook's headquarters. Facebook was an 8-story tall building with items like a walk-in aquarium and robots. I kept running into people I knew (RL: people I know who actually work at Facebook), and a few I wasn't expecting. I told my tour guide I heard there was a roller coaster and asked if we could see it. We rode the coaster, which was technically impressive but didn't go very fast. Still seemingly at Facebook, I was then helping an elderly man who was about to die. He asked me to take off my pants and pressed my knees down onto his I laughingly declined, but then someone told me this was "how it must be done." I took my pants off and kneeled on his knees. The man died, and I saw his essence being uploaded to another plane of existence, where it swirled and played with an infinitely large and beautiful data set. He had become a part of the code of life. I followed a white man to his home in Jamaica, where he works as an aid worker. I was interested in becoming an aid worker there and asked about his experience. He gave me a tour and showed me the local population, telling me about the troubles he's had because the poverty is so severe.
February 5, 2012 I had a pretty vivid dream last night, although not the most vivid one I ever have had. Strange thing is I saw a building in it that I believe I have seen in previous dreams Possible dream sign? Maybe.... 1) There is a substitute in History class and he tells us that our teacher ordered us to get a packet of worksheets done by the end of class. I look at the board where she usually writes down our homework and realize that I haven't done the homework that was due that day- so I start it. I can recall sitting at my desk and doing it as descretely as possible so our sub doesn't notice. I think he was watching me with a disapproving glare but didn't say anything. Everyone begins to split into partners and so I sit down with my friend Abigail. We begin our packet and I remember the question being "what are the names of the four slaves?" or something similar. My dream switches to a new scene of a family of slaves in a wooden pen (the whole slave thing is relevant to what we have been learning in school on RL). The whole thing is fuzzy but I can remember writing down their names on the paper. The man's name started with a T but I can't remember what it was. I think the dream went back to the classroom where I was doing a few more questions and then finally switched back to the slave scene. This time the man's name wasn't the one that started with a T, but Olaudah Equiano, a famous slave that we had learned about in RL. They are still in the wooden cage-thing when someone (possible me) goes to their prison and tells them that she will help free them. She orders them to do something but I forget what it was. Anyway, after they do what she tells them she comes back and breaks wood off of the side so they can step out. They are all happy and thanking her but she warns them that they have to move quickly and get to this diner to meet someone. All of them start to move out and crouch next to a building, except for Olaudah. He gets too excited and says he is going to run across the feild to get there. She warns him but he takes no notice and starts to sprint. Everyone is worried but miraculously he makes it across without a scratch. He runs into the diner (this is the building that I have seen in my dreams before) and starts to skip around all happy. He is all of a sudden in a nice suit and runs down the isles to get to the woman they are supposed to meet. I remember wondering why no one did anything when he saw him. When he reached the booth he sat down and started talking animatedly to the woman about how he's never been so clean. They chat a little more about stuff I cant't remember. Then I wake up. 2) My second dream was about me looking on my iPad at my email to see if my teacher had emailed me back about something. I remember noticing that she had replied- but I don't know if I replied back. I wouldn't have remembered if I hadn't checked my email when I got up
Eating things There is more to this dream, but I'm having a bit of trouble remembering it. Anyway, I am either at my brother's house or on vacation. We are going to eat, and I start eating roofing shingles (or something like that. It may have been tarpaper.) I stuff a few of them in my mouth, chew them and swallow. They taste awful, but I'm hungry and somehow I either don't think there will be anything else to eat or I'm enjoying it in some way. Then I move on to cardboard. I eat a lot of this. Then my family shows up with some real food. I think that perhaps the roofing material and cardboard might actually make me sick, so I decide to dilute the junk in my stomach with real food.
I woke up this morning to no recall, only to look through my DJ and see this scribbled down: Went through some obstacle course, sitting a bench in gym hallway (school) talking to some kid asking what my powers are. "I'm really fast and strong and I can turn into a vampire and be even faster and stronger" I told him. lol... I don't remember writing that I think the vampire thing is from reading the Rosario+Vampire Manga these past couple days
I enter my dream inside of my school. Everything was like it should be, but people were gathered in the gym and they seemed excited. I enter the gym and start to ask people why they are excited and find out that all of the people in our school is moving to a different school. Next thing that I know, I am in an airport. I see people ahead of me getting their tickets to get on a plane to leave. I get handed my ticket and board the plane. There were two planes, and I had gotten on the first one. When everyone was on, we tried to take off, but failed because we didn't have enough room to get enough speed. Immediately we start to look for another place to take off at that would be longer. Everyone decides to go onto a highway. We somehow manage to get onto the highway-my dream turns into third person so I can see the plane. It was plain white with a couple of windows on the side. While on the highway, we start to take off once again, but we can't because of traffic on the highway. I then wake up.
They're not at the ame time, but not at the same time, either. Also, massive DJ post wave incoming. Fragment one: It was daytime, and I seemed to be traveling on a highway, in a car either empty of full of people I didn't recognize. I was in the back. We, or I, was on a highway surrounded by pine trees. The light outside suggested that it was noon, I cant remember whether or not it was cloudy. I, or we, were driving under a suspension bridge, far to big for the highway. I remember thinking, 'I need to remember to have a lucid dream tonight.' My subconscious comes up with the most obnoxious irony. Fragment two: I was dreaming that I was in Skyrim, nothing new there. I was in a completely white town, almost at the top of a mountain. If you have seen Skyrim, you could probably imagine what it looks like. It looked like Dawnstar, but with a different layout. The village was then attacked by the Shatterer form Guild Wars 2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUVLclPDCBE). Geez, I'm a nerd. Anyway, I dealt with that, I can't remember many details, but I won. Then another lame-looking dragon I didn't recognize with grayish skin attacked the just the village chapel, so I went in, and somehow dealt with it. It may have flown off. Then I walked around the town and did some stuff, talking to people who didn't seem to notice two giant dragons attacking their town. Typical game AI, I suppose.
02.04.2012 NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Spoiler for Just a little insight for myself...: I'm getting a little better at retaining major images I see inside my mind for dream recall, even if I distract myself from time to time. To test to see if I could forget, I did some random things in real life, but I was still able to hold on to these major snapshots in my head for branching out my dream recall. I think it's really useful when you add little images to your DJ entry, I think it compels your mind to retain certain parts for later revision when typing/writing your dreams later on. But that's nothing new, just something I've been trying to do for most of my entries anyway. Dream 1: Wolf Link & Midna vs. Floor Master I was playing a videogame, and I'm controlling Wolf Link and Midna is riding him on top, just like in Twilight Princess. They were in this greenish cave area, kind of like the one near Lake Hylia in Twilight Princess. Apparently the area that they were already in, water was at a high level, so the water level decreased for a short period of time, and they had to take that chance before it rose up again to get somewhere. Wolf Link and Midna had to face a Floor Master, like the one from Windwaker, and it looked fatter than the original one. I found it ironic that Wolf Link is facing this monster because Midna's hair can form into different shapes, and it formed into a Bigger Hand than the Floor Master's when they get closer to grab it and pull it out of the small hole it came out from. Once they killed the Floor Master, they went inside the hole to go somewhere. Dream 2: Owen Wilson Bouncing Quarters & Dream Fragment of Hot Hispanic Chick Owen Wilson was apparently the son of another older man in the room who was considered to be the President of something. I assumed that because there were a long line of photographs hanging up on the wall, and the wall was red. The father was talking about something with a few DCs, I think one looked like an FBI agent. While his father is talking to the two random DCs, Owen Wilson is at the corner somewhere acting stupid. I immediately assumed that this guy was playing the role as the dumb son who had a father who was smart and went to Harvard, so this meant Owen Wilson would have to go to Harvard to, but he was really stupid in this dream because the things he did. In the corner he was at, he took out some quarters and started bouncing them on their edges by flicking then on the small table at the corner. (Kind of like how you play "Quarters" in beer drinking games) It felt like I was watching a movie, and I just had the urge to just scream at Wilson because I knew he was going to screw up something or break a vase inside of this room. He keeps flicking quarters on the table in front of him, and some quarters land on top of his head, and he didn't even bother to get them. The moment I saw his delayed reactions to the Quarters, I thought this DC was an incompetent. Then his father gets in on the action when Owen starts flicking Quarters on the other table near his father. They kept going back and forth with precision bouncing the quarters. I remember two important letters from this dream, "M" and "O." Apparently "M" was something related to the first letter of the names of the people person the father of Owen Wilson, and the "O" was first letter of the names of females. I swore I saw a name that was labeled Ophelia in one of the photos. I don't know if this part that I remember was related to the dream, probably a fragment, but I see this hot Hispanic chick near the group with the father and two random DCs. I completely forget about Owen Wilson being stupid, and just started to gaze at the Hispanic chick. I think she was wearing a green shirt and blue jeans. And her hair was black, and it had some shine to it, so I assumed that she used hair gel or something. She was standing awkwardly, she had the face that a girl (or any gender for that matter) expresses when she finds someone attractive, and can barely form a sentence. She looked like she was stuttering, and she was looking down on something. That's all I remember for that one. Dream 3: Seeing Redhead Female in Slutty attire I'm inside this random room, and it's dark inside, but there's this window in front of me, and outside seemed like it was day time, but the setting looked as if there was going to be rain. Dark gray clouds everywhere, and I believe there was wind blowing rapidly as well. I go to the window that's half opened, and I see a Red-headed Caucasian female hanging around with two black males. The guys were pretty young, and the female looked like one of those ditzy girls. She looked like a slut, she has a black crop top that was obviously way too tight for her, and it only covered her breasts, which meant her stomach was exposed (she was fit and firm though), and she was wearing a black or blue skirt, but it was so short that it looked like she was just wearing a piece of thin cloth near her bottom region. (I could see why there were two males with her, they had a completely oblivious and hot slut, lucky them). All three of them were standing in the middle of of the two roads. When I look above that, the rest of the area was grassy. I put my attention back to the red head, and she was asking them questions. The two black males wanted the Redhead to move a little further away from them, and I see one had a Camera in his hands, so I assume they wanted to take a picture of her. She asked them in that "Like Oh Mah Gawd, No Waaaay" tone if where she stood if okay. Then I started to see maybe 2-3 more DCs in slutty attire as well. They were wearing short shorts and black shirts that only covered their breasts like the Red head female, and they were black females. Then the whole situation looked like they were advertising that they were doing a Car wash (when I was recalling this, it had to be for that), since the only way females would look like sluts in the middle of the road (they were standing on the long plot of grass that split two roads as well) was to entice males to get their car washed. One of the black female DCs told the other girls that they had to stay still and wait for something I couldn't remember. That's all I remember for that one. Dream 4: Apartment & Future Console Boxes and PC I think I'm in my apartment again, I'm pouring out some Orange Juice, and I fill it half-way, but I filled it again some more. Then I drank it with some Vitamins. It was a Men's One-A-Day pill and like two Omega Fish Oil pills I drank. Then I realize there were two DCs behind me that looked like my parents, and we were heading out somewhere. I transition to a different dream environment, and it looked just like the area near the Sbisa Dining Hall within my University. I completely forget about my parents following me at this point, so I just assumed they vanished, but I didn't really care. I saw that there were boxes of Future Consoles for Playstation 4, Xbox 720, and for Nintendo as well. For the one relate to Nintendo, it looked like it only said "Nintendo Revolution" for the console name. (I thought that was one of the first names Nintendo was choosing before they picked the Wii...oh well) I see people going down stairs with the boxes of these Future Consoles near the seats outside the Underground Food Court that's linked with the Sbisa Dining hall. Then I turn to my left and I see some person with some Alienware PC that that could go up to 90+ Ghz. It took a while to load, and I thought it could only got to 3.4 Ghz, but it rose rapidly in a few seconds. The person was playing Metal Gear Solid 2 on the PC, and they were using a controller that looked like some rip-off of the Black Wii Remote. They were aiming the gun with it, and doing random things inside of the game. That's all I remember for that one. Dream 5: Counterattack This dream was so random, some DC I was probably playing as and a group of DCs where rushing to go somewhere. A random DC wanted a "Counterattack" move given to them or something, and I had some weird looking paper with certain moves on it, and took out the "Counterattack" through some small crease. Then when the random DC was done, I think I asked for it to give me back the "Counterattack" slip of paper, and I get it back and slide it back into whatever I was holding. Dream 6: Running from Alien I can't recall a lot from this dream, but I was in a room, and things were getting pretty tense. I was behind a sofa, trying to run from a weird looking alien monster. I can't remember it's figure because as I was typing, I had two altering images going back and forth every few seconds trying to remember it. But it was waiting for me to make the next move. I could see on my left with peripheral vision that there was a door. So I wait until the alien got distracted somehow, jumped out of the back of the couch, and quickly opened the door. Then there's another door in front of me to open, so I quickly open the door, and turn my back as it closes and see the alien was THIS close from getting me. I woke up after that.

Something about trying to go fishing, and stopping a prediction machine!? Wtf
February 3, 2012 I think I had a couple of dreams last night. One had something to do with baseball. Sadly, I can't remember any details

February 1, 2012 When I woke up this morning I still couldn't remember any dreams . I think I might be trying a little too hard. I'm going to try and just sleep regularly and see what happens. ** I was on my iPad today just talking with my brother and I remembered something. It's not much but I think that sometime in the past few days I had a lucid dream, but forgot it when I woke up. I remember the color orange- it was nighttime. Part of it took place in my neighborhood, others in a field (maybe). I might have flown too... I really hope I have another and cant believe I forgot!!!

January 30, 2012 I didn't remember a lot when I woke up so this entry is very small. I have been thinking about possible dream signs and noticed that in a couple of them there have been loud sirens. I don't know if this is a dream sign so I'll have to see as time goes on. What I can remember: I am in my room (which in real life I had recently cleaned) and I am changing my outfit. As I put my clothes on the ground I notice that my room is a lot messier than usual and I don't know why. The dream fades after that. I'm guessing that part of the reason this dream was hard to remember is because it didn't have a lot in it that would give away the fact it was a dream.
The Other Other Guy Non-lucid: I am in a police department. My perspective of a person watching a movie, I am watching what seems to be a cop/detective comedy. The (I assume) Captain is shouting something about stolen money and a dirty cop. He and a partner rush to their car. Fast forward a bit and the Captain is on a runway facing a plane. He's slams his feet on the gas rushing towards the plane, but as he comes closer he see's that it's really a helicopter. Or in other words, it's not the guy he's after. The dream cuts to some tropical island, I see a plane landing in a different airport. The end. In hindsight, it wasn't very funny.
In this dream, I took note of what I remember each time I woke up. Thus it is far more detailed than most other dreams, even though the memories faded pretty quickly. Watching a video, or maybe being part of one, on Youtube. This Asian girl with long hair was talking about "How not to get kicked in the balls", or rather WHY. However, at the 4 min 26 second mark, she says "how not to get kicked in the budget". My old bedroom, chart paper at the side, window at the back, cupboard at the right. I see a white poodle trying to get into the video scene. It gets stopped every time, getting mad, but I grab it, apparently unafraid. The dog tries to enter the scene from a pile of paper, first from the side, and then diagonally. Unsuccessful after the third or fourth time, it runs out the door. Somehow, this dog rather resembles a human character. In fact, this Dog, or whatever it was, was to be charged with a repeated drunk driving offense. Later, it runs, or rides, up a sheet of white furled paper. There's an announcement from the blue. Somebody has a love problem. No idea where those details went, but now, they're gone. A random part of my journal: "consp. causes". No idea what it indicates. Flashback: March 16, 2009. Security camera video shows terrorists plotting to bomb a concrete pillar, somewhere in southwestern central Ontario. Maybe it was near Alliston, we'll never know. I'm sitting at the site of a swing, or some-other place. This sandfly, part wasp, part fly, tries to fly into my nose. I ward it off, but at the last minute, it stings me, there is a feeling of spray being injected into me... I wake up, and go on Dream Views.com. Writing about my dreams, my thoughts are rather clear, the transitions vivid, the meaning intact. Yet soon I realize this is not to be. Waking up for real this time, it's about 3:45 am. Take some notes, go right back to sleep. I'm in a music room. Some girl takes my flute, initials AR, and throws it toward the percussion area. It's broken, and I say "FUCK". This flute cost $70, or maybe $430. I'm afraid to tell my dad, because he bought it for me. Sometime later down the line, there's an engine. Perhaps I'm examining how it works - I don't know. I'm reading this book about the physics of weather, a possible flashback to my poorly-done presentation about the physics of artificial trees that absorb carbon dioxide. As usual, the book goes into a computer model simulation. This time, there's talk about global warming not being real. Of course, I strongly disagree with that position. I see Greenland melting, refreezing, melting, refreezing again, rising and sinking above and below the waves. There are vivid colours here: sky blue, navy blue, orange, red, green, tan, yellow-green, yellow with a tinge of green, and brown. Near the Gulf Stream area, enveloping both Greenland and Iceland, a supervolcano destroys the land there in a big oval fashion. Iceland is first to melt, its people unaware, or possibly no people there at all. It's a Supervolcano, much like the Siberian Traps during the Permian-Triassic extinction era. I wake up. It's 6:45. There's a vivid drawing of some sort, the details now gone. Examining currency, bills, coins and American $1 bills. They're everywhere. At my house, time is frozen, and my mom is here. Suddenly, somebody knocks on the door, and gives her two white pills that smell very industrial. She takes them, and weird effects happen. We try to lower the dose, so that days two to five will require one pill a day only. No idea what it's for. She bikes outside, and I see some guy skateboarding outside my window, and they go down the street and it's a sunny day. Talking to my teacher now about French. Apparently one of the old teachers came back, and nothing happens. Or rather, there is not much to talk about, or maybe, there is. Waking up again, and it's 8:20. At some kind of zoo, or maybe it's a video game facade. I'm on the side of the lizards, but there are also mammals, lions and penguins. For some reason, the lizards decide to hide out on the near-vertical wall, bathing, possibly reminiscent of the sphenodontians, the last remaining species being the tuatara of New Zealand. Am I responsible? 30-40 % go extinct in a few hours. A travesty. Later, some kind of land mammal, forget the name. Every day, the lions jump over them, and a few of them get injured and die. We try closing the door, we try negotiating with Atlan, and nothing happens. Later, we storm the beach, and head outside. Success. I'm here at a beach party, outside now, warm weather. I ask this girl whether she's still interested in going to prom with me in a few months. Yet I get completely tongue-tied, and she ditches me, preferring instead to go with somebody else. Maybe those promises weren't meant to be kept that long. For a year. Waking up again, but forget to check the time. Guessing it's around 9:30. Something happens prior, no recollection. An old acquaintance of mine is standing in front of me, making me read some stuff that I find objectionable. Yet I read another text, this time in faux Greek, meaning the letters are greek, but the words English. I read this with no difficulty. Yet I leave out a compound word. The text turns out then, to be about spicy food. Oh no! Wake up for the final time now - it's 11:00 am. This dream had had at least twenty-five parts, none equal.
Dream: February 2, 2012 There were at least five parts to this dream. Unfortunately I only remember one of those parts. On my street, a clear blue day. Looking through a telescope at the sky, and the ground, at the Sun (DON'T DO THIS IN WAKING LIFE!). Not as bright as I thought it would be.
