dream fragment

OK, this was an epic dream of mines which i can only remember a fragment of now. It's starts with me being in my house and being on the computer, Then suddenly combine from hl2 invade america and starting blowing up houses in my neighborhood with Russian bmp's. I tell my parents to duck and i randomly pull out a laptop and call an air strike. After the air strike the bmp starts blowing up my house, my parents die and i run through backyards evading explosions and other randomly epic stuff.

I don't really remember this. It's just a fragment of a dream but it could be useful so I'll write about it here.

I really just remember being at my mum's place and being sent with a laptop to the kitchen where I sat at the table and used it. I then heard my dad's truck pull up outside and I remember feeling a sense of dread for some reason (my dad isn't really that scary of a person nor is he abusive). I don't know why but I moved the laptop to the bench next to the sink. I remember waiting for my dad to come in and do something bad but he never did and all I got was this feeling of suspense. That's all I remember.

OK, in this one I went along with everything that happened. Alright, I was in a brick tower and O-Kwi-Gon gave me a choice of a short knife or a long knife. So I took the short knife, it wasn't exactly a knife. It was more like a plastic one. So I took it and we walked out of the building. We were up high, narrow, brick bridge. There were a bunch of dead people everywhere. O-Kwi-Gon said "watch your back" so I found a rifle and picked it up. Then I checked my pockets and the pistol I had in my pocket was gone. So we kept walking and we got out of the towers some how. We were next to a bunch of women and I pointed my gun at them. They looked like they wanted to kill me. Then I looked to my left and there was a bunch of women running after us. I asked O-Kwi-Gon if I could shoot them and when I tried it didn't work. He said it was not effective any way. So I pulled out my little plastic knife and jumped around slashing them. It was epic. There was this one guy that I couldn't hit. He was trying to beat someone up so I threw the knife at him. It went past him and flew back at me like a boomerang. So I tried again and again. But I couldn't hit him, so I grabbed the knife and jumped on him slashing him. Then I wasn't lucid anymore. The End.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! I really have to stop being such a damn slacker... I had three dreams last night, but I only remember one of them. I didn't write anything down, and I ended up with a few fragments instead. Well well.

10.00: The stolen puppy
I'm with my sister Madde, and we're in a city. It's night out and for some reason we're standing on a hill, holding a puppy. We run down the hill while trying to soothe the now crying puppy. "Make it stop crying!" Madde tells me. "It will attract its mother" I start worrying like hell about being chased by a huge black dog and ofcourse I can hear it barking behind us. We run through the city into different alleys and we get rid of the puppy in one of them. The dream skips and I'm now facing the dog. It attacks and it's wearing the face of my other sister: Malin. I pick up a few rocks and I try to hit it/her with them. I miss completely and we fight for a while. The dog has now transformed into my sister and I'm very careful not to harm her. Everything gets very emotional and I hit her with my knee in the stomach.

13.00: Fragments
*Something about dried up roses, my girlfriend keeps them everywhere.

*I'm wrestling this guy in knee deep snow.

Amount of sleep: 11 hours

Food before bed: 1 can of mackerell, 1 egg,
protein shake, 1 omega-3 pill and 100mg B6

That's it!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

My second dream I recorded was even more mysterious than the first one. I also remember less.

I remember being suplexed (wrestling move) onto a concrete floor which broke as I hit it but I wasn't injured. I do not remember who suplexed me either. When I got up I saw an entirely stone room with a smooth concrete floor, it could have been a dungeon. I wrote that the dream had a mysterious nature but I can't remember why I wrote that. I also wrote 'The Walls do not Move' and that it had something to do with a book but again I have no idea why. There was at least one booby trap, I stepped on a certain part of the floor and it started moving down and I just managed to get my leg out before I was put in a very uncomfortable position. I think there were others but I can't remember specifically what they were. The last thing I wrote is that it was a very strange dream but hard to remember much.

I'm framing a wall; it's laying down on the plywood floor. I have a cordless air nailer in my hand, and I'm adjusting the studs for the wall and nailing them in place. It's repetitive work, meditative.

A high-pitched laugh echoes through the half-framed house. The outside walls are up, casting long shadows in the evening sunlight. It's fading, getting darker.

I stand up slowly and turn around. Without taking my eyes from the floor, I lift up the air nailer and fire - one, two, three precise shots into the darkness.

The laughter ceases.

Scare Factor: 2/10

Note: the previous "Air Nailer" dream was #89.

Asleep by 2:00-ish

WBTB around 7am. Didn't really do a proper one.

Coffee
I'm making coffee for myself and Mike. I used the same cream for mine and his, but for some reason, his has little white floaters in it, and mine doesn't. Upset, I ditch our coffees and start over.

Another work dream
I was at the house, and my parents were holding a birthday party for me. I got a call on my cell, and it was from one of our security sites. Dream plot told me I'm working from home, it seems, and handling dispatch issues, here. Dad gets upset that I'm handling work calls on my birthday, and asks me to pass the buck to one of my employees for today. I call my co-worker, and ask her if she wouldn't mind taking it for the rest of the night, and she says she's cool with it.

I went into the kitchen and started mixing up some whip cream for my cake. I take a taste of it, and it seems a little off. But I keep mixing.

These two were some late-morning dream chains, as I tried to DEILD for about 30 minutes. Total fail.

Dinner (Dream chain)
I'm at the old apartment, sitting at my computer and contemplating this slab of raw roast sitting on my computer desk. Jack and his parents are now in the room, and his mother suggests that someone make dinner. I'm unhappy, because I work a lot, so it shouldn't be up to me to cook, so I voice this opinion. His mother says she won't do it either. Jack remains silent and his dad says if no one is going to cook, we'll just go out then.

Concert (Dream chain)
I'm in a crowd, and I see a familiar blonde come on the big screen. What's her name again? She kind of looks like Lindsay. The announcer confirms that she's Lindsay Ell, and she bursts into a pop song, which confuses me, because that isn't really Lindsay's style of music.

Asleep by 1:30am

Some fragment about me talking to feist about Darren's hair. Don't remember why.

WBTB 6:30am. Tried to MILD, but I was feeling rather awake all night... Anyways, didn't work out so well.

Some work dream
There was a dude who worked for my security company (as a driver) who had a desk in my office site. Dunno why. I had a crush on him and we started kissing. Then, I remembered I'm still with Jack... I either just totally led this guy on, or I need to break up with Jack. Neither was looking very awesome.

Some other scene where I saw one of my co-workers get jumped (on camera). I actually radio'd him to watch out, so at least he was prepared. I called 911, but they weren't answering. My co-worker made it out alright. In fact, the guys who jumped him shook his hand and congratulated him on a good fight

I just recalled a dream where I became a father, not many other details other than that are coming back though. I'm pretty sure it was just me and there was no mother around for whatever reason and I was surprisingly okay with the situation.
Before I had gotten with my girlfriend irl, I had wanted to someday be a father, but since being with her and now afterwards, I'm not as interested.
I'm wondering if this means I actually am.

I remember playing video games with my dad and saying "I bet if the graphics of this game looked like they did back in the day, you wouldn't be playing this at all".

I was standing in an Italian-style alley. There were a few nondescript people walking down it.

Overhead, ten feet above my head, was a thick stucco bridge that joined the second floors of the two sides together. I looked up at the bridge, then down the alleyway, and saw a train coming at me. It was a red one, fairly boxy. However, it wasn't coming at me head-on; it was perpendicular to me, facing the wall. Because of this, there were only two cars that would fit in the alley. It started to accelerate towards me and I ran at it, punching the train a bit closer to the right-hand side. The metal sheared and broke where I impacted it, and the two sides of the train flew past me.

Had a number of fragmentoid dreams that seemed to mostly have to do with Dead Rising 2, which I finally got around to installing and playing extensively yesterday. I also remember a sequence where I went out to best buy to buy some expensive, $2000 computer hardware. When I brought it home, took off the plastic wrapping, and opened the box to find a set of elaborate-looking gun gaming peripherals. Realizing this purchase was a terrible idea, I ask my wife if it's too late to return it and she tells me that they won't without the plastic wrapping.

I have two fragments from last night and one dream. I know the dream was really long and vivid, but when I woke up I forgot it all. I only remembered it a little while ago when I was making cupcakes for my school bake sale (you'll see how it is related).

Fragment:
I was with some other girl who was wearing the same shirt as me (which happened to be the shirt I had worn yesterday).

Fragment:
I was flirting with some cute new guy at school. Then I walked to my class and my friend pointed out I was wearing my retainer. I was embarrassed.

Dream 1: A new form of Geocaching?
I had this dream that I went to the library and there was this whole section of stuff this girl in my math class was giving away. There were folders full of things, a naked barbie doll, and an easy bake oven computer game (I had it when I was little and loved it, this is why the baking reminded me of the dream) among other things. I took a couple of things. Then my other friend was in the dream. The library turned out to be the one near my house, though it looked like a library I went to in Michigan from the inside. I remember going back to the library all of the time, getting more things, writing notes, etc. I really wish I remembered more from this dream because it was really interesting.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING PRECOG

I know it is a bit late to start doing the tasks of the year, but I managed to finalise the task of the month of September after just first attempt of doing TotM, so I decided to go for the bigger challenge. I sill have 3 months till end of the year. If I manage one time travel per week, I can make it If not, at least it was a good try.


22:00 GMT – Sleep

Visiting Japan
More dream stuff related to my incoming trip to Japan. I’m in a hostel room with 4 bunk beds and I am staying in the lower bed on the bunk bed on the right side of the room. It’s not the best bed in the world, but I’m tired so anything goes. I think I am writing my dreams on paper DJ and I feel a bit cold cause I cover myself with a blanket.
Still, I am apparently not yet going to sleep or just waking up, because soon I am up and walking around the hostel. Lots of young people around. I am joining a group who is going on an excursion to the mountains but first i go back to the room to pick my toothbrush and something warmer to wear. I meet them at a bus stop just outside by a road and while we wait for some bus they start telling stories about their experiences in Japan. One guy says we’re not longer on tornado season but that it might happen that we get caught by one, especially in this particular area where we are. I wonder if he means a typhoon. I see what seems to be a ticket machine and I pass a card in front of a window which recognised it and makes a bip sign. Then we’re on top of the mountain and I am using this large public restroom. There’s so much crowd around. I’m looking for a toilet, but all seem to be occupied. This area of the restroom is extremely dark and I open one door of a toilet that seems to be free but when I put my hand in the dark trying to find my way there, I grope some lady who’s inside. She doesn’t complain though and I just close the door and give up. When I go out I pass by lots and lots of tourists of all nationalities and I hear these American black ladies mentioning very amused something about the size of the penis of men – I guess Japanese men vs African men?

2:45 GMT

Dinosaurs extinction (task of the year)
I’m at my late grandma’s house which is now much bigger and works as a family house but also as guesthouse. There’s lots of people staying there, including my friend Hugo with whom I cross in the hallway. I think I was biking and just arrived. My family (uncles and aunts) are gathered around the table in the kitchen and call me to join them, but I want to go to the toilet first (still...). I pee but don’t feel any relieve, so I try to pee again and it is so realistic I just realise I might be peeing in bed in RL! Because of this I become lucid. I wonder if I should go to the RL toilet, but I decide that can wait, now I must enjoy lucidity and make good use of it.
I go out through the toilet window and it is dark outside. As I think about what to do, I go down a road and pass by some houses. I meet dogs barking and 2 or 3 come to me and look intimidating. It’s a dream, ok, but still if they bite it might hurt, so I decide to lift of. Then they started jumping and doing something that also annoys me a lot in dreams – no matter how high I fly, they always jump that much higher too. I decide this has to stop. It’s my dream! And dogs or whatever will not jump higher than what is normal in RL. I am the only one here with extraordinary powers, ok? And it works, I see them jumping down there, no longer coming even close to where I am floating. As I go higher I meet this girl, standing on a electricity line and she starts talking to me. I recognise her as the girlfriend of one of my friends . One of those who ruined my friendship with the guy because of her jealous of our relationship. So I decide to tell her she doesn’t need to feel jealous or insecure about my friendship with her boyfriend, that I have no romantic interest on him and that I’m tired of losing friends because of possessive and jealous girls like her. I was a bit harsh but she totally understood and smiled. I told her to excuse me but that this was a lucid dream for me and I had other things to do. She said ok and I lifted even higher. It could now see the sun rising on the hills in front and I also could see a train passing nearby. No time for summoning mirrors so I decide o jump on the train and use the movement and impact as a quick to enter another dream.
I think about the task of the year (tasks of the month are done already) and wish to go see how the dinosaurs got extinct. I jump with eyes closed and when I open them I’m on some forest/jungle environment. I see high grass, dense foliage. The weather is hot and moist and the light is golden. I hear dinosaurs’ sounds at some distance and decide to explore this world. As I go through the forest I then spot what seems to be a little man with a conic hat. Man? He looks like a gnome, he is short and round and he is totally focused on his work – I then see cultivated fields and realise he is farming. I think I totally screwed this task and for a while think if I should jump again and try something different. I then pass by some cottage-like houses in the middle of the woods and find a crossroad. I decide to continue to explore and I end up finding a city! It looks modern in all senses, but little details are different. All buildings are in stone and metal. They remind me Gaudi’s architecture, with organic shapes and so on. I see no cars and people wear really simple clothes in shades of green and brown. I am totally shocked when I see a few ladies passing by with huge white moustaches. The rest looks totally normal, as if I am in Vienna or some other European capital with beautiful stone buildings. Then I see some banners of some museum, like Natural History museum and I feel curious and follow the banners indications. I pass over a canal, under an arch and arrive at this inner square where there’s a huge bunker like building with more banners announcing a very special exhibition – a temporary zoo actually. I decide to go see it, but it is really early morning and it is not open yet. There’s already people waiting by the door and I am impatient – I fear I will lose lucidity if I just stay here waiting. So I rub my hands and walk around. They finally open the door, but we still need to wait in the lobby. I think “Why do I have to wait? It’s my dream isn’t it?” But I don’t want to interfere too much or I will start projecting too obviously and the dream will not be surprising any more. So I decide to push it a little bit, by encouraging the DCs to invade the place so I can also enter it amidst the crowd. And they do! They push away the guy who’s keeping the entrance and we go along this hallway and then we must go down some stairs. Before going down the stairs I peek over to what is down there and I see the first enclosures with the first animals. To my surprise the first one holds a couple of what might be Neanderthals. They are being attended by the zoo-keepers when the first tourists/observers are already lining up against the glass wall that encircles them. The Neanderthal lady is kinda sleepy and lies down. A tourist pervert starts taking pictures of her genitals. She is actually quite hot, for a Neanderthal.
Then the second enclosure has a live T-Rex! Oh, finally a dinosaur!!! So it wasn’t totally wasted time. The T-Rex is quite small though, maybe twice the height of a human being. Either is a youngster or a degenerate midget T-Rex. I decide to go downstairs to see the rest of the dinosaurs behind the glass walls. But hen I arrive down there the zoo/museum people have put some covers blocking the view as they finalised all preparations for the visits to start. Gosh, so disappointing! But I use that time to reflect on the dream and realise in my version of the extinction of the dinosaurs, human beings were the cause of their extinction, through invasion of their natural habitat. I sit down with some ladies around the table and by now my lucidity drops to about 10% and all gets confusing and disappears.
[On waking up, I told the story to my boyfriend and he said I must secretly be one of those religious people who believe dinosaurs and men coexisted. Actually I think some non-religious people also defend that idea based on archeological findings. My interpretation is more from an environmentalist point of view: dinosaurs and neanderthal’s got extinct – of course it had to be us!]

6:30 GMT

Fragments
- Some colourful food, I think cookies, in pink and reddish colour. It is hot spicy and I wonder what they are made off. Found out they were made with some species of exotic poisonous ants. I feel sorry for the ants.
- I am staying on some kind of resort. The main building is quite strange with some impossible staircases. If it was some years or months ago this would disturb me,but now I just find it so cool. I fly or jump to keep going up or down, so who cares abou broken, incomplete stairs or stairs that lead nowhere or turn back from where they were coming. Now it just looks fascinating. I go to the terrace of this building, which is covered in gravel. It has a fantastic view to one side and direct contact with the sea on the other. The sky is a bit grey but it is warm weather and I decide to try the water. It is also warm but the current is to strong and I get out really soon after. It was a longer and interesting dream, but I forgot on waking up.

8:00 GMT – Wake up

I remember a dream where we were looking for someone. She had been missing for a few days and we were worried. I was sitting in the back of the suburban and Ken was driving. I think my friend was sitting beside me, and we were talking about the cross country meet the next day. I remember getting out of the car and walking in front of it, so we could get a better look. We came to a 3 way stop and kept on going. I looked to my right and saw a Lamborghini coming up the road. I muttered "Nice car." as we were walking towards the grass so it could go by.

That's really all I remember.
