dream fragment

In a half-arsed attempt to WILD, as I was falling asleep I caught myself in sleep paralysis. There was a scary man's voice behind me but just as I was starting to think "holy shit this is scary!" I calmed myself down and told myself that it was just part of my imagination. It was hard trying to control my mental state. I ALMOST went from the paralysis into lucid sleep, but as I felt myself transitioning it went back into sleep paralysis. And then I became aware of my breathing and lost the sleep paralysis. I just fell asleep after this.

I was giving a speech in front of a room. I went second when I really wanted to go third but the woman up the front kept insisting on me going second. Even though I kept telling her that I wasn't prepared to go second, I eventually gave in.
As expected, I was making the speech up on the spot and made many mistakes. I know that the speech went for too long and I'm pretty sure that everyone was bored by the end of it. Perhaps there were a couple that weren't.
I hadn't actually chosen the topic I was speaking about. So I thought that somewhere I might fit in the pictures of Bulbasaur before and after they'd been cacaview'd. I asked to connect my laptop to the projector, and asked my brother to stand up there at my laptop and I think he had to press H and K to change the pictures. I ended up not needing them anyway because I talked about a topic irrelevant to those pictures; I talked about people being nervous when they gave speeches, haha.

The people that I was giving the speech to...I am not sure who they were. I think the speech was in some classroom of about 30 people. Maybe I was staying in some accommodation with them all.

1. Once again I find myself in a mall arcade with my parents. I find a DDR machine where someone has left credits, and happily I jump on and select double mode. I have a lot of trouble selecting my first song, though (and with text menu, another failed RC), ending up on a Paul McCartney solo work. The stepchart is silly, and I barely manage to pass, feeling acute embarrassment. For my next song, however, I go to my old fallback "Heaven is a '57 Metallic Gray" and rock the house. Arrows seem smaller than in real life, but otherwise the interface is fine.

2. I play the main role in a music video for one of my favorite bands, The Dear Hunter. I don't remember details, but I do remember that it ends in a passionate and particularly real-feeling kiss.

July 17, 2010
Slept sometime between 1am and 11am

Muppet show drama
There was a Miss Piggy like character named Holly, who the other muppets were trying to get rid of. I'm not sure how they reckoned this, but if they could get Holly to jump on the trampolene 10 times, it would mean she had to leave. I watched them set up the act, and she stopped on a couple of occasions. Some other muppets were jumping with her, encouraging her to keep going. She completed her 10, but I woke up during the point they told her it meant she had to leave the show.

At a gym
Working out. Or so my notes tell me

Money stress
I remember us vaguely being at a house, first. Dad is stressing over our money situation. We all go out to a Donair place and each contribute to the bill.

Boyfriend troubles
I find my boyfriend is still sleeping, but he's set up his bed in the closet.
"Wake up, you need to get your day started," I tell him.
"I can't," he says.
"Well, then I can't pretend like things are okay between us," I said. He positions his head in a way that I can kiss him, but I ignore it and walk out.

I talk with his mum and my mum about something, but I can't recall what.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I am in a house, in what looks to be my grandparent's house... Well, I am with this girl in there, and aparently, for some reason, we have to stay in the house forever . Well, she started making this really gross but pretty food. It looked kind of like that painty thing with the paint on it, but it was metal, and there were circles that went down in it. She started making this really gross concoction in it. It was all rainbow, different colors in each spot, and it was over heat, boiling. Some of them had 2 colors mingled together. Well, I tried some, and it tasted like disgusting BREAD! Then, I went to the front porch, and I saw my grandparents and parents. I then became lucid, probably because of them.

Starts off with me on a vacation with a bunch of relatives. We are all down in the basement of wall looks identical to my house at home. There are several fishing rods standing up on a stand that look weirder than normal.

I go in a room and see two small wolf figurines/statues. One is gold, and one is gray in color. For some reason I decide I need them and place both into my pocket.

Fastforward: I am laying in bed with Sookie from Trueblood (I don't know what the hell is with me and hooking up with girls from that show, lol). We hook up.

Fastforward: Me and all my relatives are outside having a nerf gun war. The nerf guns look very real however, and shoot very realistically as well. I pick up an RPG, and it shoots the foam rocket identically to it's real predecessor. I thought about how sweet of a nerf gun it was.

______________

I am driving in a suburban to see a surprise that one of my friends has for me. When we get out of the suburban, I see a full sized, as well as an alive T-Rex.

"How in the hell is that thing existing right now?!" I asked my friend.

"They did took DNA from bone morrow of a T-Rex that was frozen." My friend replied (been watching too much Discovery channel I think lol).

I continued to watch in complete awe, as it's trainer made sure the T-Rex would not do anything ridiculous. I remembered watching this whole thing and noticing there was a small rope "caging" in the T-Rex.

_______________

I decided to try and DEILD when I woke up in the morning. It worked, at least for a minute. I am standing in the middle of a grass-field, and a wolf is standing in front of me. All of a sudden I feel the dream pulling away again, so I start to inspect the grass blades on the ground to stabilize it. It worked for a couple of seconds, however, it soon completely crashed down, even after an attempt to rub my hands and spin.


Note: Starting to notice that the gold/blonde wolf and gray wolf in my dreams seem to be yet another dream sign, as they show up a lot.

I am standing in front of a spanish speaking man. I say, "Como se dece?" (how do you say?) he looks at me strangly and says, "Come se dece," with accent on the e, as if correcting me.
_______

I was at the lunch table at school with some friends, It was my birthday. A came by and asked what I wanted for my birthday, I noticed that her hair was more orange than it used to be, and her voice was slightly different. I made a clever remark about wanting her that I can't remember now and stared at her for a few seconds, smiling at my cleverness. Her mood changed to annoyed and she said, "Oh, so you want sex." She walked off.

I relised that I had made a mistake, and chased her down immediately, she hadn't gotten very far, I apologized. to my relief, she accepted my apology.

Key: Non-Lucid, Lucid, Commentary/Notes, Hypnagogic Hallucinations

Hopefully I'll have some multiple detailed recall soon rather than all these fragments and disjointed scenes.

Convicts Fragment

I was trying to catch two escaped convicts. I recall having tricked them in to going to some kind of theatre. I was sitting in a comfy red chair and looked over at them. I told them they were rumbled, and one ran. The other guy just seemed to give up. I thought that one out of two wasn't bad.

Sex Fragment

I was having sex with someone. We were outside in the middle of the high street in a nearby town, except nobody was around except for me, the woman I was with, and apparently a few other random naked women.

TV Fragment

I was with a weird mix of different people I've known over the years. We were all at J's house and were going to some TV show recording. The next thing I recall is that it was over. I was sat next to D. When I got home the show was already airing and my parents were watching it. The house I was in was a mix of J's house from earlier and my deceased grandmother's. I was using a computer to talk with C online. I was telling him that he should have come along.

Then my parents said the show was over. I turned to the TV to see the camera pan over the audience. It stopped on me! I looked really haggard and was a bit pissed off.

Spiders Fragment

There were spiders on my bed. Two small light brown coloured ones and several black ones with turquoise patches on their backs. I was squashing them.

I'm arachnophobic, so that's where this dream came from.

The Name Change

I seemed to pick up a bit from the previous dream. I was in the same house. I walked out back in to the garden, which was completely like my deceased grandmother's. I had a laptop and sat on a bench. J came out in to the garden next door. He said hey, and I replied to him but using IM on the laptop. We had a brief conversation where he was talking and I was replying using IM. Eventually we both realised I should just speak since he was in front of me.

He told me he had changed his name to "Grandfather." Which I said was a bit dumb. We were chatting and he hopped over the fence and we went inside. For some reason he was now about 4 inches taller and bald. We were in the kitchen grabbing something to drink, when my parents walked in and were confused as to who the random extremely tall bald guy was. Then they realised it was J. I told them he wasn't J any more, he was "Grandfather" -- with a knowing glance that it was dumb.

So this dream attaches to the previous one about the frozen lake. But I consider them to be two different dreams since I see no segway. Why am I having so many dreams about cheating and stuff?

I am here in my girlfriend's room cuddling and what not. Everything seems peaceful until she gets a text message. I pick my head up and acknowledge that the phone chimed. But she seemed suspicious. She didn't let me see and she tried to hide her texting way too hard. So I kindly asked,
"Who is it babe?" and she replied,
"None of your business!" I grew extremely jealous at this point. So I took her phone and looked through it. She didn't even try to take it away. It seemed like she wanted to show me something but couldn't muster up the courage to say so. I look at her face and her eyes tear up a bit. I then look at her phone. It's a Samsung Behold. Anyone who has owned this phone knows what the messaging looks like. So I see the message she got and it's from a person who she entitled on her phone "Brace " His message read,
"Well, I got to go." and her response to that was,
"Ok. Te amo." "Te Amo" means "I Love You" in Spanish. And my heart sank to my feet. I didn't want to jump to conclusions so I asked her, in a very loud voice, if she was cheating on me. She never looked up at me and didn't say a thing. I knew then she was. I couldn't believe what had happened to me. I got cheated on. Man, worst feeling in the world! I was depressed and just didn't care about a thing anymore. So I magically arrived at this seaside McDonald's on the shore of the frozen ocean. The place looked futuristic. I walk forward and a big glass wall gave the people an amazing view of the ocean and their nearby pool. (Why?) Yes, they had a pool. But this pool was steaming, and I could here my parents walk through the doors and saw them head to the pool. I turned around to the register and ordered some food. Only thing was I ordered one of everything on the menu! After a few minutes, I took my tower of food to a seat in the corner where no one would see me in my sorrow. Magically, I finished everything in only a couple of seconds. Yet, I felt empty inside. The End.

Wow, I need to work on my conclusions haha...

Second dream posted in here. Awesome! Well, here it goes...

So me and every one of my cousins that I have ever known decide to go swimming. We all get our swimming gear on and head off to the lake. The thing was that when we arrived at the lake, the whole thing was frozen! Every bit! There were people ice skating, ice fishing, and building snowmen on the surface. All in winter gear. We couldn't understand, it was the middle of July! (BIG dream sign I missed ) But, none of the less, we all rush to enjoy the day anyways. I follow up and theres a point when the ice breaks and a little river flowed through in which we had to jump to get across. But right before I make my jump, I see to my right a large kid in a brown sweater with two white stripes sandwhiching an orange stripe attempt to jump across. Sadly, he Superman-ed and took a blow to the face by the edge of the other side and fell into the cold, cold drink. I laughed SO hard I almost didn't make it across myself. But something about a fat guy trying to jump an icy river makes me chuckle. Does that make me a bad person? Anyways, we get across and climb a small mound of snow. To my surprise, I realized this wasn't a river. It was an OCEAN. Frozen as far as the eye could see. We kept running until I felt the ice crack a bit under my feet. I said,
"Whoa! Hold on! Let's not all go at once!"
And we all went in three's. Except for one of my larger cousins. I let him go by himself hahahaha! I tipped-toed all the way. Then, as I was surveying the area, I hear an enormous crack! this is what I saw before the ice broke. I turned my head swiftly and I see two of my cousins drowning in the water! Somehow, they couldn't swim. I dash to the water and dive to save my family. The water was SO cold!!! It made me gasp and I took a bunch of water to the lungs but I continued to make my rescue. My first cousin wasn't that bad to get to the surface. He's real skinny. But my second cousin was a little chubbier. I was trying to pull him up to the surface but he kept kicking and using my face as a foothold. He eventually got up but mysteriously, I kept sinking. I was at ease for some reason. Like it was inevitable. I accepted it and closed my eyes. The last glimpse being the distorted sun hitting the water surface. The water was the deepest blue you could ever imagine! Suddenly, I open my eyes and I am sitting next to my girlfriend in her room.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I've been slacking in the DJ department . Well, I did remember some dreams from this morning, but I was doin stuff, and didn't bother to remember it much . So, I have this bad LD I am sharing from yesturday.

I was in school, and it was the first day. I "decided" that it wouldn't "hurt" to become lucid, because I know school hasn't started yet, so I did reluctantly. Weird I know. I remember seeing one of my friends IRL, and without thinking I asked her to show me the cutest guys around. Well, all of them round up in front of me. There are about 7 of them. They are all wearing this same sweatshirt, just in different colors, except one which I realize is this random indian dude I know...he only looks average to me...Well, I saw that two of them had blue eyeliner on. They are straight...It is to show their team spirit. I thought that all of them in the sweatshirts are sporty and in some team. One of them had the eyeliner on perfect, and it oddly looked good on him. The other, not so great...I just left them, thinking none of them were worthy .

1. I finally have returned from my research station, and I meet up with my old friend W at his house. He's suitably curious, asking all about my experiences, if I got lonely or bored and what I did for fun. I show him some of the things my parents brought me to make the time more enjoyable. This triggers a question of advice for his own presents, as his girlfriend's birthday is coming up. She's a nerdy actress, and he shows me two things he's considering.
One is a portable stage light that casts a brilliant circle on demand. The other is a bath towel with a built-in calculator (numbers go crazy, so another failed RC). I laugh at both and suggest the light as better. We continue to discuss girls until my mom interrupts us. We adopt a stony silence and sit awkwardly until W breaks it with a cheesy one-liner. I laugh so hysterically I fall out of the dream!

2. I make a trip to the Louvre in Paris with the students from my research station. I wander aimlessly along the corridors of art until I find a computer lab, in which everyone is hanging out. I feel mildly annoyed that we came all this way for everyone to ignore the art. In any case we all go outside, where Paris is covered in snow. This doesn't stop me from renting a bicycle and barreling down a sick hill with epic jumps. Eventually I wipe out in a crazy fashion, landing somewhat on my neck, even though the snow cushions my fall.

3. I'm on an Amazon river canoe trip with my advisor, and tensions are running high.

i really don't remember much of this one, i had to wake up w/ an alarm. i remember being on a bus, a big, strangely shaped bus, with several people on board. but the inside looked like an over sized mini van lol. thats all i remember of that one.

the other one i remember is at some sort of pool, with a dock on one side. there were several people there, possibly from school. i remember jumping in the water, even swimming in it, but i don't remember actually being under water unfortunately.

Weird sleep between 1:00a-9:00a approx

Danny's house
I'm staring at a large Victorian-style home.

A lot like this one.

I know I'm looking at Danny's house and suddenly, he's beside me, outside. I remember him pointing out the structure, but my eye wanders to the side of the house, where there's a side entrance. For some reason, I think this is a secret entrance for a mistress, and I'm laughing at Danny about it. He's getting slightly aggravated with me because I'm being daft.

I wonder if this house is the same one he was planning on building from this dream?

Train tracks
Jack and I are crossing some train tracks. I look both ways and I see, far off in the distance, the headlights of an oncoming train. For some reason, I think it's a good plan to stop on the tracks to tie my shoes...

Inside Danny's house
Oddly enough, this dream happened a cycle or two after the first one. Very cool, imo!
I'm walking around inside Danny's house, carrying my guitar. We're in the kitchen. Suddenly, I start playing a song. It sounds a lot like the tune on my alarm clock (which does happen to be a slow, rolling, guitar-like thingy). I wake up and realize it is indeed, my alarm ring that I thought I had composed.

Family gathering
I vaguely recall walking to my doctor's office in slightly bad weather. I get there and in the lobby, Mike (my brother) and his GF come in. I hug them hello, and suddenly my parents walk in. I was all like, "Heyyyy, family reunion in a doctor's lobby..."
My dad says something about them not arriving together. I ask my mum how she got here. She said she drove. I got all upset because I left her at the house, she could have drove me

...I get a crazy Idea.

*Back to the start*

Its short really, but Im in the family car, with Mum, My Sister, My Grandma and My Dog.
My Dog is with me in the back seat on my lap.
She seemed happier than usual. She seemed clearer than usual. (In a sense of: I may need glasses )
She wanted to look out the window so I pull down the window and let her look out, searching the area.
Suddently, I get a crazy idea to literally get my dog and turn her into an action figure.
Great!
I do shudder that I forgot the process of how I did this, or perhaps I did this instantly?
There she was, My dog turned into an action figure that I played around with. We all got out the car and I turned her to normal because Mum wanted me to.
Wait - Sorry but why wasnt Mum surprised my this?
Then I woke up.

Sorry this is as zany as other dreams Ive had but this was the most recent, also my first post here

Keep Dreaming!
