Fragment of Dreams
I just joined this site. Lately, I've been having trouble with dream recall. However, last night I remember having three dreams. None of them lucid, of course. The first one was just a fragment, but I remember flying. I had wings like an airplane or something. I also remember something about a toy box in that dream. I remember that i woke up after each dream, which gave me a chance to write all of them down. I didn't use that chance after the other two, though, so I remember that I dreamed, I just don't recall what about. I used to have lucid dreams all the time when I was a kid. I'm really not sure how I managed it. I had never even heard of lucid dreams. I remember that I really wanted to learn how to control my dreams somewhat because I had nightmares all the time. At the time, I didn't realize what kind of power I had within my grasp. I just used the knowledge that I was dreaming to wake myself up when I had a nightmare if I chose to. These days, however, if I remember my dreams at all, they are vague and blurry. If I could just learn to recall my dreams better, I think I would also remember how to make myself lucid.
July 23, 2010 5:00am Train station I'm at a train station. I use some keys to unlock some doors. On the other side, there is a man coming up the escalator. He's old, and false memory tells me his name is Joe, and he's falling into dementia. He walks past me and he says, "Oh, thank you for unlocking the door! My dog, Joe, ran through here, and I need to find him!" Even though it was supposed to be my job to kick him out, I decided not to. Cameras I was watching security cameras, surveying the festival grounds that is in town (it's actually over, now). I realize I have been missing things, and I feel guilty for not doing my job right. 5a-7:30a WILD. Failed - I fell asleep 7:30a School crimes Myself and another classmate got called out of class. We went across the hall to the washrooms, where there were more police. Someone had been murdered in there, and they think he's still in the building. I suddenly get this vision of two people sitting next to each other, engulfed in flames. We go back across the hall and out the windows everything is pitch dark, and the other classroom building has fire coming out of every window. I'm glad I'm over here, but my locker is in that building. I wonder how much stuff I kept in there? Forums/HI I was on the DV forums, in Naiya's WILD class. She was listing off a bunch of people who were successful last night. I was very disappointed that I wasn't one of them 9:50am Wonky Elevator I was in a classroom again. Nita (old classmate) gave my water glass to someone else. I was rather upset by this, and walked out to get another glass of water before class started. I only needed to go down two floors, and I contemplated the stairs, but I was feeling really tired, so I decided to take the elevator. This girl asks me to hold the doors. I thought she was Nita, but it turned out to be a DC. I hit the button for 64 (we were on 68). She hits the button for 2. The elevator doesn't even stop on 64, and the girl is all like, "WTF?" She tries to choose another floor for me to get off, but it still doesn't work. Then, it feels like we're going sideways, rather than down! I think to myself, "Wow, this elevator is acting rather dream-like!" The girl distracted me from my brief lucidity by telling me we'll have to jump out of the doors once it reaches the main floor. We do so. I really don't need to be this far down though (and I've completely forgotten about the lucidity). I feel tense, because now my class has started, and I need to get back up. I have to try to jump back on the same way I jumped off...
After I woke up from that dream I fell back into a continuation of it. This time I faded into the black and white dream and stayed there . The dream pretty much left me at the climax of the frag right where Lil Wayne was supposedly going to shoot me. I propped my head back up to face the gun again Weezy took a huge hit from his cigar and blew it in my face. My vision got distorted for a few seconds but went back to normal right before he cocked back his gun. He kept mumbling things I just couldnt understand so I just close my eyes and waited for the big finished. He pulled the trigger and a little white flag came out and so did some black and white confetti. I was scared half to death and I jolted up from the couch I was sitting on (more than likely the flag had the word BANG! on it but I couldnt really make it out cause I was zoned out -_-.) He started laughing hysterically so I punched him and he stepped back but he was still laughing. I turned around to lay back down because I felt really tired and I saw myself still laying on the couch with my head bobbed back. It was so crazy like the copy did all the things I did right up to where I closed my eyes in anticipation for the gunshot. I was so weirded out I woke up again and stayed up.
This dream was pretty hazy and trippy. My vision kept fading in and out a black and white music studio. I could hear Lil Wayne's voice but I couldnt see him then the song Single by Lil Wayne came on but it was warped the beat was so f*cked up. My vision still fading in and out caught glimpses of Weezy singing into a mic. He looked different though his hair was cut I think and he had a cigar in his mouth while he was holding a glass of liqour. My vision finally allowed me to see clearly but the whole place was still in black and white. I felt high and I kept bobbing my head back. Then I heard Lil Wayne laugh ( not the little chuckle he does but the laugh he does at the end of the song Single) I pulled my head back up and I saw a gun pointed at my forhead , a super tatted arm, and Lil Wayne's face. He mumbled something and my vision faded back out the last thing I heard was "I aint trippin on nothin" (I smelled alot of smoke after that so Im guessing he blew some in my face) then I woke up before anything crazy happend.
France Somehow, my grandmother decided that she wanted to go the France. However, she didn't want to go to Paris until mid February. France was bordering my backyard, so in the night we snuck in to the Border Patrol Station, and we showed them our passports. My brother (who in real life doesn't have one) drew all over his, and they still let him in. Fragments I was eating in New York with some political figures.
This is my first entry since I took a hiatus. I just graduated school and have started a new job with a hopefully more structured sleep schedule (college hours were all the over the place!). Here's my entries of the last few days... 7/19/10 Character who is not me (kinda fat, Mexican ...how that happened is anyone's guess cause i'm the definition of skinny white girl) is part of a world with this American cartoon and vampires. Vampires want to kill the cartoon who is the king/leader of the land. There is some hildary…and somehow it ends up on 4 wheelers across the desert. Right before I wake up I’m back at college and wondering around, following this kid after class. He’s a freshmen and not letting me catch up to him walking. I get distracted by a student council charity and sit down to enjoy pizza and salad, which I sorta hog cause there isn’t enough… yeah, like that one wasn't freaky...i did the whole DJ thing last year for a couple weeks and remember dreams started to make more 'sense' after i got better at recalling, let's hope that happens here... 7/20/10 Ah, it's my birthday...oh exciting now that i've already turned 21 and nothing (in terms of #'s to look forward too..at least i got more the dream this time #1 I all got is the tail end of the last one.. it Was dealing with me at a friends house…sorta. Now I remember it started out with this insane murder of a super hero and I was one of the culprits, but I was taking the place of one of the heros. I remember thinkning that I would throw the others under the bus when the cops found out and sure enough they did. It took place in a back alley maze of sorts. # 1.5? The next part, me fleeing, ended up with me on this polar artic trip where this time I was myself, accompanied by my aunt and uncle. We went to this shop that sells things and my uncle bought me an airplane made out of the leather and a SUV as well…I don’t remember it being weird at the time. It was actually a quite awesome care. Later on I was driving through a snow storm and going ‘suckas’ to the other lame metal cars. Right before the alarm! The last shot is me in one of my best friends house and she says something like “then it goes like…” throwing her arms up. At that exact moment my alarm goes off…go figure. 7/21/10 I think I lost it trying to get up and write it down…I only have one shot of a woman telling me something…I think I was at least myself..it maybe have been dealing with acquiring stuff. 7/22/10 Finally on today...i actually didn't sleep in my house, but was at a friend's place so i had another practice round of scribbling the dream down when i woke up...let's see if i can read my handwriting: We were setting up a medieval event (part of a club...this is normal) and I was doing scrolls beforehand (again, completely normal...it's a art project of sorts). As always I was getting stressed out. I was with my friend Cheryn and we were complaining about the scrolls and such. I finally realized I didn't to do any of them except for one. The theme of the entire was ducks...which is only semi-strange. My friends, Alena and Katie were setting it up for our friend Conner, even though he probably wasn't going to show. They were in the back making duck-based dishes for the feast...i actually found feathers in the bathroom as part of the decor I remember smelling/seeing some really awful-looking food. That's about it from the dream.
I was in an arcade. Not sure if my sister was there, but I thought that I saw her out of the corner of my eye. Anyways, instead of putting coins into the machines, they used gumballs. I remember walking up to the front counter and I saw a small gumball dispenser, like the onces you see in grocery stores.
Ok so I thought that today would be a great day to start my dream journal because I had a really unique experience last night. I've been putting this off for like weeks so i'll be adding a couple dreams i wrote down after this too. I've waited all day so I can't remember all of the dream but before bed, we got a call from a family friend who is a self-proclaimed psychic. She said that my grandfather that she never knew personally, (and who died 2 weeks ago) had been bugging her for 4 days. She asked a lot of questions and said a lot of things but what's important is that she told me i'd be getting a visit from him in a dream. Lo and behold, it happened. I remember thinking i had woken up (on the top bunk which is contradictory; would have been a great time for RC. Oh well.){Is there a word for falsely waking? can't remember} and seeing a piece of paper taped to the ceiling. It had a poem on it in grandpa's handwriting and on the back it had a small personal note signed by him. During the dream I could vividly make out the writing but I have since forgotten it. This is funny because I had sort of told my grandpa (spoken out loud to the air) that I didn't really wanna see him personally in a dream because it would freak me out. He was always so considerate...
07/22/10 I'm travelling all over the continent. I think I'm driving through the US with some family members. We're passing a city on the freeway when I realize that I've been here before. We pull onto an exit and stop for lunch. I explain to Oma what the buildings around us are, and mention about three restaurants I know by name that I've been to. We go inside one of them. I see a picture of myself on an indoor climbing wall. I'm in a small town where my grandma used to live. The population is probably under five hundred. I'm moving in to one of the houses there, because I'm good friends with a few of the neighbours, all of whom are under thirty. Now I'm getting ready to go back to school in Halifax. I'm planning to fly out the next day. I hear a knock at the door. I answer it, and a man hands me a pile of books, that I apparently ordered. I bought one of them, but the other two are from the Chinook (Saskatchewan) library system. I'm disappointed that I won't be able to read them in time. The dream shifts and I'm in the Ixburg library to return the books. I'm part of a group now. One of us might be Buffy Summers. A thin man with short dark hair and dark clothing is showing us an Egyptian hieroglyph, holding up a book that it's illustrated in. He explains that the hieroglyph is the symbol of a demon that's plaguing the town, and we have to stop it. "If you ever encounter this symbol, run away really fast." Hey, I think dimly, That's the name of my dream journal. Library Fines. Scare Factor: 2.

I know from memory that these dreams were longer than I can actually remember. I'm sure all of you know this feeling as it is one of the many frustrations that accompany dream recall. At any rate, I had to distinct dreams last night and here they are: Trip to Chicago: My family decides to go to Chicago on a family trip. My mom, dad, sister, and friend pile into our family truck and we put all of our baggage in the bed of the truck. It is night when we leave. We were suddenly pulling up to a lavish hotel in the middle of Chicago. We go in the front door and ascend a grand staircase covered in red carpet. The interior of the hotel is extremely colorfully decorated with lots of greens and reds. We find our room and it was spacious and very nice. (I know there was some activity in Chicago we did but I just can't remember it as hard as I try) The next thing I know I'm walking up stairs outside onto the balcony of our hotel room. I get my bags and descend the staircase. Suddenly, I am back home. Pick up Rugby Game: For some reason my sister is taking me to school in her car. I "know" it's my school and it looks like an enlarged version of my junior high school. I enter the main gym and start playing a weird game with my classmates. We are all lined up in two parallel lines that form a tunnel. Then one person runs down the tunnel and low fives everyone. Then the "runner" ball taps a random person in line. That person is the new "runner". I thought it was a lame game and wanted to leave. I saw my sister leaving but I couldn't catch up to her. For some reason she left with my dad instead of the car she came in and she had my wallet and keys with her. So I was stuck at the school with a car but no wallet or keys. I call my dad and ask him where he is and tell him I need my wallet and keys. He tells me he is north of Nora (an area by Indianapolis) and I proceed to walk there. I trek along the highway and get off at the Nora exit. I can't find my dad but I do end up in some sort of ghetto area. It is very shady and I'm getting nervous when I see some older guys throwing around a rugby ball on an old beat up basketball court. I go over and start passing the ball with them. They tell me they want to play basketball so I grab the basketball and kick it into a forest. Then the basketball court turns into a rugby field and my whole high school rugby team is there playing rugby. We play a game against another team. (I don't remember if we win or not I really vividly remember a kickoff I caught though).

21 July 2010 It was a highly unclear dream. Nobody in the dream was happy. Bon Jovi's 'Living on a prayer' was playing. The dream seemed very long and confusing, it had a negative atmosphere. I fell asleep at 10:00 and woke at 11:00 remembering this dream vaguely. Then i woke at 01:00. No recall. Then i woke at 04:00. Again no recall. Lost a lot of sleep and had a very bad day. I'm hoping for better luck tonight =)
