dream fragment

I don't remember much. I dreamed about my partner and I was somewhat insecure about something. Possibly involving someone else.

I dreamt one of my bottom teeth got chipped very severely. I was very upset. I kept trying to hold on to the part that broke off, because someone had told me that they knew of someone who could mend the pieces again. The tooth-piece kept getting lost though.

Fifth DJ entry! However, I still havent had a lucid experience yet. I'm not sure what it could be, I've been trying so hard lately to do a DILD however I can't get my mind to recognise I'm in a dream. MILD next, we'll see how that goes.

Anyway, my insomnia has been gone for the past month because of routine and consistency with my sleep schedule. Its totally awesome just being able to sleep normally again and fall asleep within a half-hour.

Also I'm thinking of drawing some sketches on paper and uploading them here so you guys can sort of have a visual element when you read this journal. Just trying to make it a bit more interesting.

That's it for news today!

-Cheers!

Had a weird dream last night but I loved it because it was like an action packed movie. Anyway, not much which I wrote down because I couldn't force myself to do a full DJ entry at 4:00am.

Dream 1
I remember being in Portugal riding on a newly built transit infrastructure project which they had just implemented. I was on this single track line of what seemed to be an above ground subway train. This train would take you all over the city that you were in.

I boarded the train with my family and it was going pretty smoothly for a while until the driver jumped out the window while the train was still going at really high speeds.

I remember hearing all this screaming as the train needed to go through this tight corner. Finally, someone opened the door and and he said, "Quick! Jump off!" And we jumped off as fast as we could while we pushing to get off the train and we had just made it. The train then derailed itself and crashed into a glass pane before catching on fire.

...And that was really all I remember because I didn't write much down.

Evolventity's Dream

September 17, 2011

(Lucid Dream or OBE) Fell asleep by 6AM, woke up at 10AM, and back to sleep until 2PM.
-I'm laying on my bed. I swiftly exit my body to my right, chest facing downward and arms to my side. As I pass through a wall I fall into a hypnppompic state: There may have been colors or scenes in front of me but I don't recall any specifics. I feel like I'm blinking my physical bodies' eyes in a very deep state of mind, but I can't see anything. After each blink I can only see the blackness and colors that have already been here. I later see a dream in the distance. I try pulling myself into the dream like I would usually try to do. However; I'm stopped at the borderline, the edge of merging. I'm set back by a thought and sense of my physical body. I stay relaxed and attempt again. When trying to pick and hold a dream I want to enter, I feel M* moving in bed with a sensation on top of my body which wakes me up. I stay relaxed to DEILD but enter a regular dream instead:

(Regular Dream, Fragment)
-I'm sitting in a public bathroom stall. The doors are white. I pull M* into the stall with me an have him sit on my lap. I see and hear footsteps outside the door. They're black polished shoes. (Skip) I've opened the door to another man in a uniform. He's in front of us with his pants down. He's uncut and we're about to BJ. I can tell M* was uneasy about the decision. (Skip) The stall doors and walls are very short, about 3 feet. The other guy is gone. A middle aged woman walks buy giving M* and I dirty looks. (Two men in a bathroom stall together, OH NO.)

Thebeastofold's Dream


Balloon Car?

I was driving down a street somewhere, felt like i was on my way to work...I pulled up infront of a large building with a big proch with pillars on either side of the door, i got out of my car and a guy ran out and said, you can bring those here..and he pointed over my shoulder, i turned around and my car was absolutely covered with multi colorored balloons, couldnt even see the car...so i went back to the car and start pulling balloons off and releasing them...they would disappeasr and reappeasr under the porch roof....when i was done, i went up on the porch and started grabbing the balloons and releasing them..some would float away like normal, some would bounce away, a couple fell to the ground like they were made of lead... some turned into clouds of littel birds as i released them...the guy started handing me balloons and i would turn around and release them... all of a sudden he handed me a vw beetle body..full sized! it was floating in his hand like a balloon..i grabbed it and noticed there were no seats or engine or anything..just body and doors..he said "see if you can make something of that!" and i responded, "cool! i was hopig it would come back!"

department store in field, dressed up poodle?


i was in my kitchen and heard a commotion in the back yard, so i went outside and walked to the back fence...there was a miniature gate in the fence that i dont seem to rmemeber being there...i saw peope either running and jumping or dancing in the field ont he other side of the fence..my neighbors house was no longer there...why i didnt become lucid at this point i dont know...i opened the small gate and had to crawl through it...when i stood up, there was racks of clothing, and counters, and a place they measure and cut fabric spread out allover the field..i started walking towards a driveway on the other sideof the field and when i got there, a lady walking a standard poodle was walking in..the dog was wearing the exact same clothing and hairdo..or wig i guess as the lady.. a way out of proportion cleopatra type wig..poor dog ..she said something to me as shew walked by, she had a gravely southern accent, kind of like the chick on the closer......i didnt catch what she said so i turned around to ask her to repeat, but she was gone...i walked over to a counter where a lady was measuring and cutting and folding and rolling fabric..she said to me, wheni apporached.."its never what you expect! bolts! bolts! bolts! bolts!" woke up.....

i was in some garage like place with a ton of broken down trucks. i kept walking around and trying to move the parts. my friend danny was there just watching me. i dont remember much from there. lil later on in the dream i did a rc and right when i tryed it i woke up. i was thinking maybe it was a FA so i did another rc and yeah. i really did wake up. then i went back to bed and dont remember anything any more from the night

This dream is related to to a recurring dream i had. it was me playing call of Duty and a RPG game.

The only part of this dream i can remember of this dream was about this lady saying to me: " Excuse me, can i help you?" this lady was probably a receptionist.

I remember wearing a sweater and there was this girl with me. It wasnt anyone i knew IWL. I was walking somewhere with her. all of a sudden she hugged me from behind. It felt good. i think i liked her because I was nervous when she hugged me ( my sweater more specifically) I remember Telling her my sweater was dirty and i didnt wash wash it in a while. she still hugged me tightly.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Man it feels good to sleep until you can't fall asleep anymore. My back always hurts when I do though, but I get plenty of dreams. Had a few LD's this morning, sadly none of them lasted very long.

23.30: Sleep

09.00: Short lucids MILD
*I'm in a house. Can't really recall how I got there, but I need to get out of town so I figure I might aswell live in the woods. I know there's a safe out on the porch and I head out there. It's dark out and snowing. I realise I'm dreaming, but decide to go with the flow. I open up the safe in the wall on the porch and check inside. I find warm clothes, a blanket of fur, a bag that seems to be full of supplies and my snowboard boots. My feet are getting really cold so I take the fur and stand on it. I put the boots on one by one. When I'm done, I haven't realised the dream is fading.

*I'm driving a car in another country. It's so foggy out that I can barely see the road infront of me. Luckily I have a gps. I turn lucid. I decide to focus my vision on the fog. After a few seconds I realise I'm staring up at the ceiling in my own apartment. Damn! I woke up. Hold on, this doesn't feel like real life. I check my fingers and can see through half of my hand, like I'm crossing my eyes.

*I'm at work and is giving out orders to all the truckers. My boss shows up and asks me a few questions about the area and I tell him I'm going to do it a bit differently. He seems pleased. A coworker of mine, Smålle, shows up. We start walking down a road. He asks me a question as I get a weird feeling. I put my hand up and do another RC. Once again I can see through half of it and realise I'm dreaming. "I'm still dreaming?" I ask out loud. I ignore Smålle and his question.

10.00: Fragments
*I'm in a huge mall with someone else. We walk around and check out all the stuff that can be bought. I realise this must be a rich man's mall. I see two blondes who looks really stuck up. I laugh and head out of there.

*I'm with Monica at a big tent. People are drinking all around us at different booths and tables. Somehow Monica can see into the future and tells me there's going to be a huge fight. I get instructed to smash someone's bottle and I do, breaking three other too. People start yelling and fighting and we run out of the tent, somehow Monica gets shot and I have to carry her. I put her down in a ditch not far away and tell her to calm down. For some reason she's not in any real danger, and I tell her about a rare druid leather chest she can try, but I realise it says: "Druid leather" and rogues can't use it (wtf?).

*I'm standing outside of the establishment at work and I want to get in. I bang on the big rusty gate. I've gotta go so bad and luckily I spot a toilet just next to the door. I get in and can hear someone coming down the stairs next to me.

10.00: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 11 hours

Supplements: None

That's it! I really need to start stabilizing for real... Not sure why I don't do it. I'm telling myself that the first thing I will do is stabilize, but somehow that doesn't go through. Oh well, next goal is to stabilize only.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

[COLOR="silver"]Before bed I read about technique to keep your mind awake, but your body asleep.
And how to not fall asleep while meditating. One of the tips suggested that I was going to have a comfortable posture, but it should be a little uncomfortable to keep the mind awake. So I put two pillows behind my head, so I had a straight back, but my legs were still in their normal position. I concentrated on the blackspace and looked between my eyebrows and I started to think about normal things just to see if I could stay awake, and everytime I lost focus I didn't looked at that spot, so I just looked back again.

But somewhere I just blacked out. :)
[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]This whole dream was weird, but cool at the same time. Because it tried to convince me over and over that I was awake, it eventually did, but I got lucid.

I woke up in my bed and heard weird noises, normally I would DEILD here. I really thought I was awake, but instead I did the noseplug reality check in my bed and it worked![/COLOR]
[COLOR="red"]I was now laying lucid in my dreambed and I went to see my parents. Everytime I talked to my dad I was overwhelmed with feelings or something that tried to convince me that I was awake.
Then I went out of my house and I admired the vivdness of the dream. I thought to myself "This feels more real than the physical world!" and it did! The dream was vivid enough for the sensations, so I didn't had to stabilise that. But my mind wasn't stable enough so to speak. I can fix this with spinning, but I wasn't aware in my mind enough to do that. so somewhere here I was aware of that I was dreaming, but I wasn't aware through my conscious, but through my subconscious.[ so that makes it a normal dream again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was filled with joy and I didn't had to care about anything, I started to climb up to the rooftops and I ran. I tried to stabilise the dream by running in a straight line and it worked. The dream was super vivid. but then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I was now in my real bed and I wrote this dream down, then I fell asleep again.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I was eating lunch with my friends and a girl there that my friend likes was there too. We tried to make him talk to her, but he was to shy. So we started to talk about random stuff, then for some reason we went into a store and we met some other guys, then I woke up.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]WILD before bed is really hard I admit that. But I am trying to find the perfect way to keep your mind busy without falling asleep. I'll keep trying.[/COLOR]

It's been quite a while since my last entry. My recall has been off lately. I guess I have been distracted. It still hasn't come back fully, but I'm trying to make an effort to journal anyways.

1. I am in an elevator with a couple other people. We are descending very fast. One of the other passengers forces open the door while the elevator is moving. I can see all the steel and concrete rushing past and feel the forced air. It makes me dizzy, and I press myself against the back of the compartment.

2. I am riding bikes through Italy. The area is not like any city I remember visiting, it is more like a combination of several. I have a companion with me. We arrive at a beautiful beach, which reminds me of the beach at Viareggio. The sun is setting.

My dream last night was non-lucid and very foggy. once again I was looking for something when I came across a child. This time it was a boy.

He looked up at me and smiled, holding out a knife. I took it and it was immediately drenched in blood. I heard screams and saw as the little boy laughed.

Someone grabbed my shoulder and, like normal, I turn to see who it is but wake up before I see the person's face.

Any ideas what this all means?

I remember two dreams from last night.

In my first dream, I’m outside of a house. Someone is telling me that there is an animal of some kind (a raccoon, squirrel or opossum) up in the attic of this house that makes an awful racket at night when people are trying to sleep. Me and another guy (unknown…but in the dream I know he is a friend) are going to try and catch whatever it is. Funny thing about the house, though, is that the front outside wall is missing so we are able to climb ladders and access the attic from outside. When I get to the top of my ladder, I look inside and spot something moving – it’s a small monkey, like the kind you see with organ grinders. He seems friendly, so I coax him over and grab him with one hand. This startles him and at first I think he’s going to bite me. I winch in anticipation, but the bite never comes. So I take the monkey and toss him outside onto the ground, then climb down the ladder. But when I turn to look at the monkey, I see that it is no longer alive and has somehow transformed into a toy stuffed monkey.

In my second dream, I’m driving a van and there are a couple of guys I don’t know in the van with me. We also have two women with us but they seem to each be sealed in some kind of big, square plastic bag filled with water. They are both alive and angry and demanding to be let out. I know somehow that we have kidnapped them and are driving someplace. One of the men in the van is angry with me because we are driving close to a news van/crew and he’s afraid they will be able to see inside our van and see and/or film the two women being held hostage. But I reassure him that I’m swerving in such a way that the news crew won’t be able to see them.

That’s all I remember from the second dream. I need to work on my RC’s throughout the day because, as crazy as some of my dreams are, there is no reason why I should not be recognizing them as dreams.

Naptime Dream Fragments

Evil Man & His Trashy Mom
There's an evil man who has lost his soul. His evil mother starts to tell him the advantages of not having a soul. She tells him that no one can hurt him and he can't be killed while he enacts his plans. The mother has very yellow, blonde hair. I think it's a bad dye job. She's very thin and has a wrinkled face. She seems very "white trashy" to me.

Killing Frogs
I'm in an old claw tub with a shower over it and a shower curtain. I can't take a shower though because there are some kind of green lizards bubblings up from the round drain in the center of the floor of the bathroom. I try to kill them without getting out of the tub. I use a plunger - the kind with a wooden handle and an orange rubber cup. I smoosh a few of the lizards and then I realize they are little frogs. For some reason I feel worse about killing little frogs than little lizards so I stop squishing them with the plunger.

Late Night Dreams

Wheaton Waxen
From a third person perspective I am watching a scene where a number of people are frozen in giant ice cubes (rectangular ice, actually). There's an evil villain responsible. The room is a large lab-like space. The ice cube'd people are set into chambers, like teleporters or grav couches. Suddenly a jingle plays through the air, "You can waxen your heart with Wheaton, but you can't Wheaton your heart with waxen!". Suddenly the ice cubes shatter and everyone that was frozen is free, including Mr. Wil Wheaton.

Fantasy Dork
I've been picking on Laura, one of my elementary/middle-school classmates, for most of the dream. We're in a swimming pool. I've been calling her a dork by using futuristic/science fiction speak. When she finally catches on and starts to retort in kind, I change the rules of the game. Now it is suddenly cool to speak as if you're a high fantasy character making fun of the other person. She gets frustrated but I insist that speaking as if you're an old fashioned wizard or knight now makes you cool.
