dream fragment

So, I'd like to point out that I had a particularly stressful night last night, and I think it played as a factor in me not remembering the details of my dreams last night.

I was at this fair type thing, except there was only this fat lady standing by a game an a ginormous box of unicorn cotton candy and some weird machine type thing. I remember people with luggage trying to get onto this lift/gondola/cabriolet type thing, and I remember it looking different throughout the dream. I tried to grab some cotton candy while on the lift thing once, and I remember people lining up for miles it seemed trying to get on this lift. I wish I remember more because it was quite the dream...

Im standing in a living room, all is in yellow/brownish color. I see large sofa of sand color facing away from me. I notice that the room has the whole front wall as windows and like afternoon sun is lighting up the whole room. May be the room is of yellow color because of that. There are some white decorations in the room. Im standing still. I can see hand railing on the left side, polished stainless steel. There seem to be images of website floating along the hand railing. Somehow I know that is of the self development website I want to start soon. Suddenly I see a female cleaner polishing the hand railing but the web site windows too. This is where I wake up. I have very warm feeling from the whole dream, probably because of the sun lit room.
*I struggled to remember any details, tough I feel that there was so much more going on in this dream.

(My recall has been shit, lately. Really nothing but a few fragments, here and there.)

Fragment
All I remember is some kid drinking from the bottle of vodka that was on my desk.



12/22/2010
Fragment
I was on a ship that was being rocked by massive waves. Standing on the deck, holding on for dear life, I was being relentlessly tossed back and forth, while someone looked on, from the shore (or a rock formation or something).



12/23/2010
Fragment
I was discussing the Saw series, with my mom. She didn't understand the plot of the movie(s), and I was telling her about Jigsaw, and his twisted sense of "justice," as his reason for doing the things that he did.



12/24/2010
Fragment
I was hanging out with J and her ex boyfriend. J and I were really close, and were sitting on the floor, hugging on each other. They were together in the dream, though, and her boyfriend (also a good friend of mine) wasn't to happy about it. He made it a point to get between us and space us out a bit.



12/26/2010
Fragment
Something about being on a boat/dock at night with friends...and gun-play. I dunno.



12/27/2010
Fragment
I remember being lucid, and looking at my hands to stabilize the dream. The topography of my hands had dark patches on them that were kind of swirling around, slowly, like the blots on Rorshach's mask, in Watchmen. At one point, I sunk my arm into a wall, up to about my elbow, and pulled it back out. I vaguely remember walking across a short body of water, my feet just barely sinking, about an inch or so, beneath the surface. I also vaguely remember having sex, and then standing on a structure, over top of the chick, and trying to recall the events of the dream so that I don't forget when I wake up.

(But, unfortunately, I forgot. )



12/28/2010
Fragment One
All I remember is having a bo staff spar with someone. I believe we were under a set of bleachers, and some kind of event.


Fragment Two
Todd and I had passes to actually be down on the launch pad, watching the shuttle being readied for launch. There was a set of chairs, for a small audience, set up in the pit, right beneath the boosters, and we were just looking on as the crew made the final preparations.

There was a TV set up, off to our left, which was showing some show about the safety of the workers, showing footage of exactly what these guys do, and how meticulous they are about procedures. It also, however, showed what happens to the shuttle crew while they are in space, and the guidelines they have to follow, up there, as well. I remember a section on oxygen supply, and it showed an astronaut's suit pressurizing, and his head exploding, inside of his helmet. It was pretty graphic; a quick splash of red just popping outward and coating the glass bubble.

After preps were made, we went out to a safe distance, to watch the actual launch. I pulled out my phone, and was video recording the entire walk - from directly beneath the boosters, all the way out to where the rest of the crowd was - not wanting to miss a bit of it.

I vaguely remember watching the launch, but don't really remember any details of it. Later in the dream, though, we had taken a four-wheeler and were riding around areas of the space center that we weren't supposed to be in, being chased by personnel.



12/29/2010
Fragment
All I really remember is being with a chick and the two of us having to run away from a pair of UPS(like) trucks, which had chain-guns in the back, and were firing at us. We then went to some house and had sex on the floor.

no lucidity last night, but decent recall.

3 main dreams,

First being outside school and seeing some friends but also in the background hearing some Circa Survive music. One of the friends is Caitlin who I know is a Circa fan, so we walk over and check it out. (much more happened in this dream but this is all I can really remember)

I believe in a separate dream I was actually at a Circa Survive show, but before the show, walking around trying to meet up with the band at the bar and such. I also remember trying to find some seats, and I got some front row seats with some of my friends, but I left my seat to go get some food.

Blurry recall of a dream with my family in the mountains, eating a picnic or something but I was eating separately from them. I think I was eating outside and they were eating inside.


Well that's all from last night.

I had a frag about being at some party or something. I have th feeling I did something wrong, or I got in a disagreement with someone. Either way, it's btb time.

short dream about super dave osborne...he was at his compound racing kids.

dream about being at a BBQ with D and W, and all of a sudden all of these people from high school came out of the woodworks and we were all hugging each other and having warm fuzzy moments.

frag about seeing old friends.....I cant recall what it was about though.

These dreams were a little fuzzy

Race for James Bond

I was involved in some sort of race to France I think it was. There was more dream before this I just don't remember it. Somehow, because there was traffic, I was convinced that I could beat all of the other cars on foot. After running on the highway for a long time, which changed and curved frequently, I arrived...first. The highway was almost like a video game highway in the way that scenery was always changing to keep things interesting. It wasn't like a real highway in the way that its long straight and boring. So I won the race and then I headed inside. It was a large ball (The dancing kind) and my dream turned into a watching experience. I was watching James Bond as he hid on the balcony level with a jade figurine on his head. His lady friend walked up to him and asked him what he was doing. He explained that at this ball, they were celebrating the purchase of the last ancient arabian sky scraper. He was here to stop the moving of the sky scraper because that would leave the arabians with nothing, which would effectively piss them off, sending the world into WWIII with nukes and the likes. This would cause catastrophic earth quakes in America, the likes of which have only been nearly seen in California. A quick reel played in my head of old fashioned cars almost running into new pot holes except the reel was of noticeable bad quality with horrible actors and visual effects.

Suddenly I was in my house with my friend Tre, and another guy and we did a rap battle. I remember that I asked if we would switch off every 4 or 6 and he said 8 then switched off at 4. This irked me...

I can remember 3 dreams? Maybe more

Dream number 1- I went to see my brother at his university

I was going to Sheffield to go and see my brother at his university! I'm not sure how I got there, only that I got there very fast. I was in a room of his accomodation and everything was white. The floor and the walls, the doors, the sofa, the furniture and there were quite a few shelves on one side of the room with little colourful objects on it that my brother and his friends own. On the other side of the room, there are a few steps to go up onto a platform which has a sofa and chair on it. If you faced the stairs, on your left would be this giant tank. It was filled with water and it had coral plants in it. It was my brother and his friend showing me around.
Inside the tank was this fish. It was called an Awl fish (sounded like owl) and my brothers friend said the fish was completely harmless. It had the body of a person i suppose, except it was about 7 feet tall! It's feet had no toes, they just rounded at the bottom of its very long thin legs. On the bottom of its feet were dark pink suction cups type things. Like on an octopus. It was the same on its hands which looked just like the feet as they had no fingers, only round and also the same suction cups. It had these long tails? They weren't shaped they were just like hairless, skin tails. These 'tails' came off from its' legs and torso and its head. It also had one as an actual tail. It had huge black eyes at the side of its head. They weren't at the front but at the sides like a fish. Its mouth was like a cylinder and it was oblong. It took up most of the Awls head and had dark pink holes in it. It didn't seem to have any teeth. It was also pink.

I then decided I needed to go and find my friend, B. The fish really creeped me out. So I was suddenly on the street B lives on and I go to her house and see her riding a bike and her parents and her sister are at the house and they said that B would come with me. So then I was in another house. It wasn't mine, but it looked similar. It was bigger and more spacious. The house seemed to be more part of a group of buildings though, like a school and I kept switching from this house and the university. Then I was with my other friend E and I don't think I was with B anymore but another DC who was my friend and she had blonde hair.

There is a warning bell and everyone is afraid but are being really brave. We are told there is going to be an invasion I guess of the creatures. Most of them will try to kill us so we need to fight back. I team up with E and the DC (I'll call her Blonde) It begins with only being small animals, though nasty. Everybody easily kills them. People start teaming up or going alone and moving around. A few go outside and other stay in the houses. It also seems that it's not just the creatures that are against us all but the system as well. E, Blonde and I decide to go outside, like many others and we find that the creatures have gotten a lot bigger. We end up having to run from two T-rexs and it's also at night so we can only hear the T-rexs and only see them when light shines on them. There are other creatures but I can't remember them. E, Blonde and I are still alive unlike many others and we decide the safest place is inside. So we go back into one of the houses. We are in the kitchen but hear a T-rex just outside so we are about to go upstairs. But then I notice these heat sensor machines and the only way to get past them is to crawl below them. I tell E and she agrees. Blonde is nowhere to be found. I start crawling on my belly past the heat sensors but I think one of them catches me as I hear another roar. The sensors alert the creatures where a person is so they can kill them I think I wake up after that.

Dream number 2 - The little girl died

I'm working at this school and they are putting on a play. The school seems to be on a hill surrounded by many other fields and meadows and hills. Everything is sunny and very pretty.The teachers get all the children to stand on the tiered seats facing the stage in the middle of them. These seats and the stage are made of a pale stone and are circled by pillars like the ones in a roman or greek temple. The children in the play are dressed in their costumes (which seems to be ancient greek clothes) and the star of the play is a little girl. She has blonde curly hair and is very clever. I have to take care of her. The children all go through the play and when the little girl comes on everybody is excited. Until out of nowhere something flies toward her and hits her. It's like a little bullet and it kills her. There is a huge commotion and I then wake up.

Dream number 3 - A continuation of dream 2

It is the day of the play and the teachers and I come to a conclusion that we have to put on the play. I think one of the teachers must of turned back time to when she was alive. Only it was still the same day. I am walking with her across a field towards the stage and we are talking about the play. I then tell her to go and rehearse and I'm talking with a teacher. I ask her why we are going on with the play when it will just be a repeat of the rehearsal. I tell her that because we brought the girl back from the dead to do the play, she will die again at the same point in the play. The teacher tells me that she knows that will happen and that she just hopes it doesn't. The parents start to arrive and then the play starts. Sadly the girl dies again at the same point as she did in the rehearsal.

Dream number 4 - A fragment

My family and I are royalty and we have another royal family over who are really stuck-up. My brother is marrying their daughter. We are told that we must kiss her hand and tell her something ( I can't remember what though) to make her happy. Then the daughter and her army start chasing my brother I and our army. The daughter is part of her own army as are my brother and me. I wake up after.

Thats it Didn't have anything before bed except for a chocolate biscuit. Stayed up a bit later than I usually do!

BYEEE!!!

since this dream was so vague i managed to remember some snippets about it.
so apparently i was on the way toward some football(the soccer one) event(but i hate football!) with a friend
and on the way i noticed there where an awefully lot of powerline related things(i design powerlines for simcity 4 and don't ask me why but they sometimes 'inspire' me). but they all weren't correct.. for some reason i didn't even knew why they head uneven circuits (wich is weird by it self).. after some really long trip we arrived at the trip but i lost that dream char.. but i found one wich resempled one of my better friends.. and we both needed to pee and we just pee'd in public like it was nothing lol! after that i don't remember/woke up

now going for the WBTB technique

I just remember being in IRC with Tamidoll and Oneironaut. I'm not even sure what we were talking about.

I entered a classroom and sat down at my desk with a computer in front of me, the teacher comes by and picks up a piece of duct tape (I used duct tape to fix a chair at work two nights ago) on my desk and reads the writing on it. He says something like, "This is it?" I'm a little confused, but come to the conclusion that because I was a couple minutes late to class I missed an announcement where he said our projects (a powerpoint which I had finished) needed to be out on our desk by the time he made it around. He said that I failed the project and that I could not pass the class. I'm thinking something like "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!" and I said something like, "This is bullshit! I have my project done, I just missed what you said at the beggining of the class!!" And the teacher said, "To bad, you can't pass" This to me means that I would have to stay another semester at school. So I flip my desk over, and knock over this open windex bottle and and leave the classroom.

I was holding this pot and it was leaking water, and the person next to me that I didn't recognize says that he fixed the pot and that it shouldn't be leaking

Later I'm at this restaurant with people that seem familiar but I don't recognize and water starts leaking from my finger tips. (I'm thinking maybe this has something to do with my broken sink faucet that only trickles out water when you turn it on)

I was at work and getting one of the kids ready for breakfast and there was some confusion as to who I should be watching, also there were kids wandering where they shouldn't be.

I find myself riding up a steep grass hill on a road bike, so it was very difficult. And I see one of the kids from work DS ride past me on their bike, which I thought was funny.

Side Note: Missed doors: 40 This was about 50%

0537: Prepare for sleep with games. Dreams get wiped.

The Beach at Night
Method WILD
Lucidity D
Vividness C
Control C
0618: I visualize a sunny beach, but instead I find myself on a beach in the very dark of night. Nonetheless, there are many people around, laying as if to sunbathe. I am laying down as if sleeping. A girl walks up to me and greets me. She extends her hand to help me stand up. She has short black hair. I can barely make out her other features in the darkness. She leads me down the beach toward the water. We hop over a man laying on his back.

We get near the water and I notice the water and sand. The sand isn't smooth. It's clumpy, like a stampede of horses just trampled through. The attention to detail improves my lucidity a bit. I turn to look at the girl and realize how pretty she is. I pull her in close and kiss her. Then I say confidently and excited: "Let's go in the water!" Now I lead her by the hand a few steps into the water. Then I say, "No wait, let's go ON the water!" I start running on the water's surface, pulling her along. She's a bit scared but also excited. I feel the wind on my face as we go faster and faster. I say "We can go anywhere we want. And we can go as fast as we want!"

We are zooming along the water, parallel to the coastline. We are approaching a city in the distance. A collection of twinkling lights and buildings barely visible in the darkness. I jump off the water and soar into the city, landing on a street surrounded by tall buildings. I look around. The girl is gone. Whoops. End.

fragment
0729: Person talking about dreams. In body. Other person gets trapped in dream. ... we are OK.

Work and Games
0757: Menial tasks at work. Patching and doing regression tests. Playing the game. Zombies in a dark room. Playing another game. Humans sieging an elven city. They reach the queen's chamber and challenge her army to a final battle.

Game with Trippy Time
Method DILD (absurdity)
0815: Playing a FPS game with Hugh. He takes the lead and I follow. We are walking down a hilly city street. We reach an intersection and I look left. I see a bunch of enemies. We all turn to shoot. I only have a pistol. I fire fire shots at a guy at point blank range. But the world seems to freeze. Then it unfreezes and the five shots all go at once.

Then suddenly I seem to be on an acid trip. I see swirling colors and symbols of drugs and poison. I notice this is all so strange and become lucid. Then immediately a false awakening. It's dark and I'm in my own room. I'm confused and disoriented. End.

fragment
One last dream in here but I didn't write down. It was long. Babysitting for some rich family. Then going to a bar near a beach. Tornado warning coming in from the water. Helicopters somehow fly over the tornado and weaken it. Order drinks at the bar. See the pretty young girl I was supposed to be babysitting. She's been following me.

This was quite an interesting experience. I remember waking up and having difficulty recalling what was I dreaming about. Though remember writing down one or two words. One of them had something to do with soldiers of warriors. Then I went to sleep for a little longer in hope to be able to get back to the dream and being able to remember more later. When I woke up, the page in my notebook was plain, with no words written. I must have been dreaming about it then. Strange.

Dream 1: I'm in my old 5th grade classroom. I look around and I'm amazed at how vivid this was. My class is doing a paper and I look at the heading that reads my name and teacher. What I thought was weird is that the teacher name is Mr.Gonos, who has been dead for three years now. I look up and he's talking to me. I don't remember what he's saying, but he looked like he was talking sarcastically, he was always pretty sarcastic anyway. I think to myself "Wait a minute, your dead, and I'm in your classroom, I must be dreaming!". I'm lucid at this point and I do a nose pinch reality check. I try to remain calm and close my eyes and just try to relax, but it feels like I sort of pass out and then I open my eyes and I see my substitute teacher for the year after Mr.Gonos died. Btw, she is smoking hot. I think I lost lucidity at this point because things were more normal and made more sense. Her sister who was a full time teacher at the school came in with a box of stuff. I don't remember what the two of them were saying but it sounded like they were arguing.

Fragment: For what I vaguely remember is that I was in sandbar sort of area in the inter coastal. There were a few people from school in the water with me. We were running towards a anchored boat. I definitely remember that a kid from my school was laughing his ass off about something.

Dream 3: I know I had other dreams but I forgot to record them earlier when I woke up so the memories of them are long gone... But anyway I remember somehow getting into this room that I'm 95% sure that it was some part of my school, even though it really isn't in waking life. So I'm sitting down on the floor with other kids that I regularly hang out with. The scene kid group walks in and the one kid that we used to hang out with hugs his scene/emo girlfriend and her and other scene kids walk to the far end of the room while he sits down near us. I say something like "What's this queer doing here" and he said some other stuff, I think he said something about my mom. I start bagging on his girlfriend and he's pissed now. He says something else about my mom and I think I was pissed off now. I go for a one-legged take down on him and he sprawls on me and I weave out using this technique I learned in my BJJ class. I look back at his face and he looks at me, except this time he isn't that fag kid, he is my friend who I'm cool with.

[Fragment] I'm in a grocery store, sitting at a disused checkout stand. The store has recently been rearranged so that the checkout stands that are actually being used are on the opposite side of the building, but the old ones were left in place.

I'm parking my Saturn [the car I had in Florida] in the parking lot of an Albertsons grocery store [none that I've ever been to in real life]. I notice that the temperature gauge on the car is maxed out [as it usually was in reality]. I think about how I have to make this car last all year because, in my situation, there's no other method of getting to work that will do. [In this dream,] I'm back in Florida for a second year.

When I went back to bed after having taken some handwritten notes on the above dream, I noticed that my body already felt heavy. I decided to roll with it and try to WILD. I had attempted to do so a few days before during an afternoon nap, and had gotten as far as one of my arms starting to go numb before my mom interrupted me with a question. This time, I succeeded, and to my surprise, it wasn't nearly as scary as I had thought it would be. My hypnagogic hallucinations consisted of a buzzing sound in my head that seemed to go on for a few minutes. Then it stopped, and a few seconds later, I find myself lying in my bed, looking around at my current bedroom. I immediately recognize the false awakening for what it is, since I had been expecting to be dreaming. I did it! I think excitedly.

None of the lights appear to be on, and yet I can see everything clearly. In other words, the room looks very much the way it does when early-morning sunlight is coming in through the window, and yet I'm aware that it's nighttime. I get out of bed and start walking out of the room. Just before I walk out the door, I do the nose-pinch RC just to verify what I already know, and for the cool experience. I can still breathe, which I still think is the neatest sensation.

I go out the door and walk down the hallway. This looks exactly like my real house. There's no one else around. As I pass by the door to P.'s room, I notice light coming from underneath it, but this is normal in our house, so I don't investigate. I go to the front door and open it. It's exactly like the real one, too; I even have to unlock the deadbolt on the screen door before I can open it and go outside.

I walk along the front walk. I notice that I'm wearing one of my summer nightshirts, the one with the teacups printed on it and the pocket in the front. It occurs to me that I could have stopped and gotten dressed if I had thought of it, but I didn't, and it doesn't matter anyway because this is a dream, so it's only natural for me to be wearing sleepwear. I'm not cold at all, though. [The strange part, which, of course, I didn't realize was strange until I'd woken up, was that I wasn't wearing that nightshirt in reality; I was wearing my new purple pajamas. It does get cold at night in the winter here, so I always wear pajamas in winter.]

The scenery outside my house looks just like reality, too. When I get to the driveway, I take off and fly in the way that I've learned to do it, by pushing gently off the ground with my legs and feet while thinking about initiating the act of flying. [The mental process involved is very similar to the mental process involved in starting my bicycle moving with that first push on the pedals, now that I think of it.] It works, but once again, once I get airborne, I immediately start getting pulled backward. I try to relax and let myself be pulled along, as before, but it seems I'm not being taken anywhere in particular. Then I hear a male voice that seems to come from the air around me, and yet sounds like it's coming through a radio speaker. It says something along the lines of, “If you always expect life to go the way you want it to go...” but doesn't finish the thought. I finish the thought with, “...you won't be able to control it?” [Hmm. Very interesting.] [Because, once again, I've forgotten to concentrate and pay attention to the scenery,] the dream fades and I wake up.

[This next dream is from my next sleep cycle on this same night. I'm adding this section on 1/15/11. I didn't have time to write all this out on the day I had the dream, but I did today.]

I'm watching a series of commercials and reading some poster-sized ads for kids' day camp programs at a chain of big, fancy hotels. There are two such programs: one is called “adventure camp” and features soccer, while the other is called “non-adventure camp” and features poetry and other non-athletic, creative activities.

Then, I'm at one of the big, fancy hotels, sitting on the floor in the lobby, leaning up against a wall. I use my laptop to log in to a game website, not Neopets but similar to it, that I've been to before. I wonder, Do I remember my password for this site? The login screen plays music. A lady comes by and asks me to go outside, where the music won't disrupt the quiet of the lobby, so I do. I go out to a wooden patio with several metal table-and-chair sets on it. There are people sitting at the tables and studying, though, so I press the Mute button on my laptop. I ask one of the girls on the patio if the chairs at her table are taken. She offers me a seat, and I take it. Another girl sees my laptop screen, and we have the following conversation:

Girl: Is yours a dragon?
Me: (after figuring out that she's talking about my pet on the site I'm logging on to) Yes, it's a silver dragon.
Girl: They know about it.
Me: Who?
Girl: Your 'rents.

I haven't told my parents about this site. They know about my Neopets account, but not my account on this site. I wonder about the girl, Are you my dream guide? but don't ask her. [Yes, I managed to think that without realizing that I was dreaming. I don't even know.]

Me: We don't get along very well right now. This is part of the reason.

I log in to my account anyway. The screen shows animation of the digital creatures on the site fighting each other by shooting beams of various things out of their mouths, like some Pokémon and Digimon do.

This is sad.

This is the first entry I have ever had for this new blog system, and the first post in a DJ for months.

BUT, I have an LD after... *counts* 6 freaking months. It's not a long one, but I finally have something to work off of.

Type: WBTB, DILD. Length: too short. Quality: excellent.

I started off in my room, in broad daylight. Nothing out of the ordinary considering winter break. I 'woke' to find everything basically where it is IRL. At the corner of my bed was my little sister, wandering in. In reality, she is 13. I was seeing a 3 year old. I tried the 'plug your nose' RC to find this as a dream. I tried it again after standing up to make sure, with the same result. I glanced at a digital clock to find the numbers all wrong and distorted. Already, (unfortunately) the dream was breaking down. Everything started to darken and get a black static effect. I tried to stabilize the dream, but to little success. I cleared the static, but only for a moment. Then, it took over my field of vision and I woke up. Stupidly, I recorded the event in a notebook, and because of it, failed a DEILD.

But at least this is something to work off of later. I haven't had such a chance in a long time. And with the record standing at 5 LDs in more than a year, I kinda suck at this.

Only time will tell.
