memorable

It started with me in a old school playground and it was sunny and nice. I remember seeing a bunch of old familiar school mate faces and one of them was martha hamlin and she told me that the woods behind the playground across the street was haunted and that really sparked my interest. I then walked into the school and saw a bunch of my old friends drinking four lokos and i made fun of my friend greg and then swiped his four loko out of his hands and began chugging it. As soon as i finished The whole school turned into a gymnastics class and everyone was working out and i didnt want to look dumb so i joined in. After that I decided to Check out the woods. I dont remember much from it except it being really foggy and really scary and something was darting between the tree's. After i left the woods i was in the street and i ran into a half dog half skunk looking thing i started to pet it and we became friends! soon after that i walked up the street and hung out with these random ass people in an old SUV and told them about my experience in the woods and we all laughed and shrugged it off. After that I was then at this club and there wasnt many people there so i decided to leave in a hurry and my way of getting out was taking a old go-kart and driving it out. when i got out of the doors of the club i was in the falls of my town and i felt like i was going to get in trouble for riding the cart around so i got off and pulled it using my bike. After that I was then in a car with my friend mike at his work smoking a blunt and getting high as all hell it was to the point where i could feel my ears feeling weird in my dream and when i woke up i felt the same way for a little while!

Ok so I found some Motrin PM and because I get leg cramps and my back hurts when I try and sleep I decided to try it out. Worked awesomely but, most likely due to the Diphenhydramine citrate in It caused me to have some weird dreams (not that my other dreams are normal) (I took it three nights in row)

My first dream:
I have been invited to go to this underwater Lab where the top science guys are working on some big project. I'm super smart in my dream and they want me in on the project. So I get there and everything looking cool. I see all these minions (The one's from League of Legends...just started playing) Running around doing thing for the people who work there. *then that's where the dream takes a turn for the worse* I start hearing this voice. He seems to be drawing me in and I find my self wanting to go deeper into this lab. At some point I come to a area where it's flooded so I put on a suit and go under water. Strangely the lab is still in full use, under water. At this point the minions also had suits on (Old fashion diving suits) That's when I see this big tank full of water (The tang itself is also underwater) Inside is... Satin.... that's right flippen Lucifer. Apparently the lab team has created a underwater satin.. ya idk. Anyway this guy is pretty evil and the dream turns into full on war against satin and his minions and the minion that I randomly have. I thing the most shocking part of my dream is I myself kill a couple minions. I rip of there helmets and drown them. That kind of scares me because Its very rare for me to kill anyone in my dreams, setting zombie and brainless monsters aside. These guys were people and not even really evil themselves just being controlled and for some reason I went after them and not satin himself. Well they got me back because shortly after Six mob me and rip off my helmet and drown me. I wake up at that point. Drowning sucked because that dream was quite vivid and I woke feeling like I really did drown.

Dream Two:
In this dream I'm on a island and I'm in a large town that seems rather english yet woodland. there are trains running through the town and everything seems elevated almost like the town is in the trees, It's a little hard to explain. Anyway I'm a servant(More like a slave) And I'm sitting outside a school looking in wishing I was there. I also wish that I can read and write which does not make sense sense because I have not trouble doing ether in my dream. Later I talk to a friend who says he is going to make a small train to deliver mail. For some reason I then find myself in a forest on the other end of the island. I exit it onto a beach which is a parking lot. Then giant robots come out of no where and one of them hits me and I go flying when I hit the ground I hear a popping noise and my leg snaps. Pain shoots up my leg and I start yelling and crying and simply freaking out. The bone is pushing out of my leg and I can't move. The robot morphs and turns into a guy about my age (17-18) He is like "OH MY GOD I AM SO SO SORRY!!!! I DIDN"T MEAN IT LET ME HELP YOU!!!" He is freaking out. then he trys to pull the bone out (he things that will some how fix it) This of course hurts like hell. He realizes that he is doing it wrong and tries to push the bone in, the shock of which wakes me up. That dream sucked....

Dream three:
In this dream I wake up at my friends house and he is playing a Squid Girl Anime Game (is not real) Then On my way home I stop at a gas station and a guy I know is selling drugs there, I'm like wtf. He stuffs some in my bag for no reason and I leave. When I get home My parents have sold all my stuff and say I have to sleep in a loft from now on....that's all I remember.

All these dreams were very vivid and felt quite real. The ending to each of them kind of sucked though....
So ya.....the end

Me and my ex gf where hanging out over this kendra girls house. we got to he room and it was really weird all of her walls except the back on was normal and the back one had a huge waterfall made of weird discolored water. We then went to her fridge and we found Gatorade bottles and we asked what kind they where and she said they'll make you trio so we drank them! And all of a sudden i was on an all white race track covered in blackness and i was in mariokart!. next i remember i was infront of bowser and i threw him of the track and instantly after i was lubu from DW and was fucking up peons and i remember instantly fucking up Zhao yun. After the battle i remember being at my dads in the backyard and it was really weird looking and the dream morphed into me and my my driving past the district court in Springfield. Then i got a call about taking photos for times magazine at a new korean mall so i took the opportunity and then was in a multi colored wall corridor thingy with a i guess my camera crew? the weirdest part to was the halls were lite up with x ,mas lights i do remember also DC's getting mad about me getting in the way. then i was at my hotel room and i remember my co worker being upset i suppose about me losing my camera but then another crew member showed yup and had it in his bag. then bam someone stormed in and was like keither needs your help which is weird because i dont with him plus im supposed in korea? so i go outside in a sunny parking lot and hes working a black comaro but he lifts the body and it was made of all wood and another co worker dc showed up and reminded me of a previous dream.

I was trying to break into an 18 wheeler on a fridged cold night then i was instantly ina huge field and bam next to me popped up a huge gray bunker and I was in a huge grassy field. When i looked over the horizon i could see an ODST soilder trying to use the hover ability and he was having trouble so i attempted and to no avail...

Hungout at my ex girlfriends house and then left to meet up with the guys from workaholics and they were in a school it seemed to be a science class. They then started rapping and they all had king constumes on and they then were rapping about cereal and how they wanted me to bring it to the boiler so it could be warm.

The following is a true story of a near-death experience I experienced today...

I won't go into details about the passing out part because it really isn't important.

Today I passed out from low blood sugar and while unconscious i dreamed this:

I was on clouds, I was surrounded by endless mist and clouds. I had no idea how I got there, where I was before this, and no knowledge of ever falling asleep. It felt real as real gets. I was floating above endless landscape but in the clouds only, no closer. I thought, I was just living how did I get here? Am I dead? I thought I might be due to the odd circumstances and that I couldn't wake up from this dreamlike world.

Was I ever living? What am I now? Am I still human or some sort of spirit-being? I then heard voices, "it will be alright." Who is that I asked? No answer. Then I walk around questioning what is real and what is imaginary. Then everything goes dark and I see light and a face but I can't make it out. The person says, "stay with us, wake up, you're going to be alright."

I thought, is this still imaginary or is this all real?

The face goes away and I am back in the clouds.

What is going on? Then I felt like I was dieing of thirst and I was soaking wet.

I was cold.

Then I give up thinking and just relax and it all goes dark again. The light comes back in a few minutes. Now I see flashing lights on a firetruck and 3 paramedics. Then I blink and now there is only 1. Then I close my eyes again rest. I try to figure out what had happened.

I wake up and now realize I had blacked out. It takes me a couple of minutes to realize what had happened. I had low blood sugar and blacked out in my truck while backing up a trailer into the driveway. Thank God it was in park when it happened.

It takes me at least an hour to remember the whole story from the little bits and pieces of memories I could remember from before I passed out.

It was a very scary feeling, to be awake an active to dream state in a blink and no memory of what had happened.
This is a first time for me when it comes to passing out.

It started with me and my friends trekking through the woods so i could get a good wilderness shot for a contest and we chased after a fox. in the middle of the night we finally caught upto it next to a river and there were two sea lions and pig/cat thing,i got the pictures and turned around to see where my friends where and my friend mike finally caught up. when i turned around BAM the sea lions were now people and we started smoking and I was then at my grandparents house and my little brother was crying and sleeping on an ironing board and i tried making it copy for him but couldn't figure it out

I went to bed at 10:00 pm
Woke up at 4:15, drank aj went to bathroom and back to bed at like 4:15.

I was at this nice autumn dog park with my friend Mike. It was a really nice day and there was a nice lake there. I had been to a similiar place a couple days ago and used that setting to dream incubate when i first went to bed, so then I realized I was dreaming and decided to do the finger through palm tech. It took a couple of tries, but i eventually got them through and yelled out "Yippie!!" (kinda dumb I know) I told myself alright I have to calm down. I was with Mike and we were at a picnic table and I remember trying the breathing through nose tech just for fun and it also worked! I remember me and mike were getting excited so we started to stick our hands through the picnic table (like the palm tech) and after countless failures for both of us (just two kids hitting their hands on a table ) I told myself, "this is a dream I can do whatever i want." and concentrated really hard and finally stuck my hand through the table! The whole top part of it! I cant remember if it went through easily or if i straight up smashed it, but w/e i did it. Mike was pumped and hooting for me. There was also an old man who kinda reminded me of morgan freeman sitting on a near by log who had witnessed the whole thing, and was shaking his head like he approved of my concentration. Some other people were walking by saw the end of the event and were looking dumb founded by what we were doing, so i tried to show off and do it again for them, but i just couldn't do it, i couldnt concentrate, so i rammed my fingers through the table so hard that the wood broke in half. The DC's were impressed and started clapping, but i knew it wasnt the same and said screw off to them. I then walked to the water with Mike and we were up to our nips in really cold water, but we didnt mind. I did another reality check and said "hey mike lets waterbend!" and i morphed some water into a ball and tossed it in the air, it hit the water with a HUGE splash. mike then made a water ball and threw it at me, it was so on! he swam away but i created a whirlpool and tried to suck him in but he got away. I decided screw this, this is a dream so I stood up on the water. It was awkward at first like trying to walk on jello but i got the hang of it, me and Mike fought for a long time and it was on eof the most amazing expirences ever!

It then faded into a non-lucid dream, must of been because i got too caught up in the water fight

dream : comments : lucid

I don't really remember anything from last night, so let's go back through the archives and post one of the most standout dreams I've ever had which was lost when that hacking incident occurred. This is a slightly smaller version of the original post due to me forgetting a lot of it during the interim.

It has a really vivid series of characters, most of whom I know from real life but only in vague sort of ways.

Shit gets a bit full-on at the end and I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on it:


10th of February, 2012

It was mine and Nooks' wedding day but I'd forgotten to organise a suit or even groomsmen.

Eventually that fact changed and the wedding was to be tomorrow instead, so it all worked out. To celebrate this new fact, I went to a casino-type place and ate oysters covered in absinthe and vodka (*shudders*).
After a fair bit of rowdiness and haziness, I awoke in bed with Danni (a random girl who sold Nooks her car) but it was a purely platonic thing; I was just sleepin'.

Danni told me that her wedding to Arin (her boyfriend at the time) had been particularly average at best, and that he'd most recently just gotten her porn for her birthday. She was pretty upset and we talked for a while with her warning me to do my best or some such thing.

At one point I must've left because I next found myself coming home, where I discovered a bunch of people (Danni included) moving our bins out onto the kerb for collection. They were bringing them out of a strange little indoor glasshouse/bike shed so I went to help them and casually mentioned that today was my wedding day.
To clear my head I went for a stroll/ride down the street where I bumped into Seon's dad, who was apparently a doctor. He looked at me then ran into the street and began yelling out this amazingly lovely speech about me- things like "His eyes are truly open!" and semi-profound dream statements like that.

During his little moment, Arin came up and was talking to him and crying. We asked him what was up and he said that he and Danni had broken up but that it was okay because she was beautiful and wonderful, but not the girl he really loved.

After that he went off and began working at a corner-store which I followed him to and ordered a spring roll. He got one from a bookshelf and gave it to me and I thought it was only half cooked coz it was all soggy on one side. Turns out it was actually half cheese, half spring roll. D'uh.

I realised I'd left my phone and wallet on a table outside at that moment, so I went out to collect it and eat my gross lunch. From the doorway, I noticed Tabitha taking my money and gleefully counting it. I accused her of stealing but she refused to give it back so I started getting physically violent with her. I decided that the best course of action was to have a People's Court and asked those around what they'd seen. Somehow they sided with her so I grabbed her by the throat and threw her inside the store, warning her that "I reckon at least one prostitute is killed by a man every day... It's a bad day to be a prostitute." Then I laughed coz it was a bit of a stupid insult.

Somehow she became a deputy of some kind that I reported to a Sheriff who was having a cup of coffee nearby. As I was doing that, I noticed a TV playing in the background which I entered the vision of:

It was a woman sitting on a deck in a rocking chair, slowly cutting up a baby in this profoundly, excruciatingly, extremely graphic nature; just sort of peeling it and getting covered in blood. The baby was just sitting there staring straight at me and blinking every now and then. Not making a sound as she slowly cut off it's arms and feet. It was mortifying but I couldn't look away.
After a while of watching this I began to vomit grey goo over the railing and then I woke up, disturbed yet intrigued by the contents of such a dream.

Driving Danger

I was in a car with a couple friends; a girl was driving. We were going to my house and we were close, but somehow she took a wrong turn and we were immediately in a very bad part of town.

By a false memory, I recognized where we were. I told her to be careful and don't stop for any of the people on the street. We There was debris from trees all over the street as though there had been a storm and city workers had piled it up into huge piles.

The street was littered with debris. We drove over the leaves and came to a pile that I wasn't sure we could get by. The pile was about 10 feet high and took up almost the entire road. There were 4 or 5 guys talking by it and we had to drive by them. They were drug dealers. They were the guys I was afraid of.

We made it past them and kept driving. There were more piles of leaves everywhere, and the street was still full of debris.

Alien Golf

I was in a restaurant at night. It was a weird floor plan as though it were in the trees and you had to take narrow walk-ways to get through the restaurant.

There was something going on but I can't remember it really. I just remember coming out and there was a guy standing in the center of a circular platform in a sheet that made him look like the statue of liberty. It was a guy that I met at a softball game IWL. He had a red shirt on at the game. Outside it was day time.

I thought it was weird that he would be standing there in that sheet, and I thought it was weird that it looked like stone, just like the statue of liberty. I looked more closely to see how it worked and saw a pattern on the sheet. It was little orange things. Maybe they were rabbits.

Now I looked up to see what he was looking at. There were two construction cranes. On opposite sides of statue-man, their long booms reached out. Things were attached to the booms as if welded on until the cranes formed a circle around statue-man. The things welded to the cranes were metal circles, but they were more artistic than simple discs. There were lots of figures of different sizes, but as the circles met at a certain point, there were just these jagged discs until the circle around this city square was complete.

The man and I looked up at this towering thing. Where the two objects met, the cranes were now as arms creating metal golfers a hundred feet tall. They were getting ready to put.

Now the putters were little smurfy alien type creatures, no a golf course, and it was night again. The balls were glowed green. The course seemed to be all lit up by the glowing balls in holes around the course. It also seemed as though there were glowing bushes, but only a few, because the balls seemed to be the major lighting force. It was a beautiful course all lit up at night.

One of the alien things took a ball out of a hole. The ball belonged to another alien. The alien was upset because the balls cost about $500,000.00.; the dollar amount was completely out of context vs. the alien's net worth however.

The alien that was just ripped off decided to go home. In his little villiage, he was outside his hut and decided to go home. His place was glowing also, and since his pool was glowing (I didn't actually see the pool), an alien who didn't live there said, "Time for LOVE IN THE POOL!"

The alien who owned the home looked distrought because his day was going so badly.

Dream skip

I'm in a kind of class room. I have a bunch of albums, some new. I bought them, but I have no idea what the new ones are. The class is discussing how everyone is saying that something is not popular when it is. I chimed in how it was like Syd Barret. Everyone says he's not popular, but everyone keeps talking about him.

Then I start singing one of his songs Opel. Statue-man is by me but acting more normal. I think he was wearing the same red shirt he was wearing at the softball game.

When I would get stuck on a line, he would finish it, though it was obviously me finishing the line as a dreamer because I was having trouble creating the line for the guy in the red shirt...as a dreamer.

Dream skip

I'm watching a soap opera in real life? There was a building you might see in a Mexican/Spanish soap. There was a fancy structure with wrought iron designs that you could see through into a courtyard.

The building was on fire, though I didn't see the fire. The wrought iron was broken away from where it was supposed to connect. There was a space about six inches to get through.

A big, hansom man went through the tiny space to save someone. I noted how ridiculous it was that he could get through that tiny space. He went through, and then helped a man get out of the structure.

Last day of school dream #1 (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It was the last day of school and we were getting ready to leave. I was in the high school at first, and I don't remember much about this part, but I was walking around with a kid I know named Chris. We talked, but I don't remember what about. Eventually it was time to leave and I was now at Junior High East for some reason. I looked for my mom outside because she was supposed to be picking me up. I realized I had told her two days ago, that yesterday was a half day, and today was a full day. Which I was wrong, the day before was indeed a half day, and she picked me up on time, but the day I was in was ALSO a half day. I realized I would have to sit here for a few hours, but then I realized I could just get on my bus! I walked a little far, and had to jog back up to the school to get on my bus. I checked the time on my phone and it said 2:41. I jogged up, and started hearing the buses make their squealing sounds. So I started running. I ran in what seemed to be slow motion. Once I reached my bus, I got on, and it was extremely small inside. Only about 8 seats total. I just got on and sat in the back. A girl named Alissa briefly spoke to me, and I remember waking up when I saw a close up of her face.

Last day of school dream #2 (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at my "school" which looked nothing like it. We could roam around roads and everything, like we were on a large campus. I don't remember how this dream started off, but we were kinda split up in groups. I was searching for my girlfriend, yet she did not even attempt to make an effort to find me. Like, even though she saw me, she would just ignore my presence and keep going, which she does in real life sometimes. :l but anyways, I was at tech and I had to use the restroom. They were apparently locked so I asked somebody for the key. He was a black dude, and he couldn't figure out which restroom was for the men or the women. I told him and he opened the men's restroom door. After I went in the dream skipped and I was back at my "school". We really weren't doing much, besides wandering around the "campus". I was in a room where my group was at, still searching for my girlfriend. I saw a girl bent over in the distance and some dude was touching her all over her legs, and I thought it was my girlfriend, but as she stood back up, it wasn't her, lol. I saw her with her friends a couple times, and walked RIGHT past her, but she just ignored me, so whatevs lol :p Eventually I was in the field at my old school in Brookline. There were dudes playing some triangle catch game. But there was a certain way to play it. A demonstrational video came up and showed me how to play. It was some crazy ass dude with clones of himself, and sometimes garbage bag dummies playing the roles of the people in the game that weren't there. Basically, two people tossed the ball back and forth, and then after two tosses, the person with the ball would LAUNCH it pretty far to the third person, who would then catch it. A kid named Jesse that went to Brookline was playing it and told me to play. I said something like, "Oh... I don't think I'd catch it." The dream skipped again and I was in my room, which apparently would be getting wiped clean after I left "school". JUST LIKE THE OTHER DREAM I HAD AWHILE AGO! But anyways, I realized there was a lot in my room I wanted to take. I could only take a few things. There was my accordion, my guitar amp, my guitar, my bass, my digital piano, and "wood for my subwoofer", lol. I tried playing the accordion and it was much easier to apply pumping pressure to it than in real life. I found headphones that matched it. I put them on and could play the accordion with buttons on the side of the headphones. I remembered playing the Tetris theme(which I do know on accordion in real life). I remember altering it in many ways to make it sound cool, and even altered the sound of the accordion. Eventually I took the headphones off and I found other headphones that came with my guitar, though they were just very basic, and looked like they were used to prevent sound from getting to your ears, or something. I ended up grabbing my huge digital piano, and the "wood for my subwoofer". I remember calling my girlfriend asking her how I was going to get the wood out from my wall, because it was attached to my wall. She asked her stepdad and then she explained to me, and I got it. I then told her I was going to meet her somewhere. As soon as I left my room the dream skipped and I was walking around the "campus" with my stuff, lol. I told Angel(my girlfriend), to meet me somewhere. We said where to meet, but right after I said where we would meet I saw her walk around the corner. She didn't notice me at first, but as I got closer she did. She laughed at all this shit I was carrying. I told her, "My arm is going to get tired very fast." In real life my digital piano weighs 30lbs. I know not heavy at all, but after holding it in one arm for 5 minutes it gets heavy. Anyways, it never tired my arm out. Me and her were apparently in a car now, and we were discussing these crazy houses we were seeing alongside the road. At first they were shitty rundown houses, but as we went on they got nicer. Most of them were an icy blue color. The one house I liked had dips of ice in the backyard, and it was strange looking. We kept going by. More houses were very nice looking, and one had a snowy theme to it. I told her I had been in most of the houses a "couple hundred times", even though I had never been in them at all. She also said that she had too, if that makes any sense. The dream basically skipped and I was in the car with my grandpap, grandma, and my uncle ward was driving(he doesn't drive in real life, so I don't know how I didn't realize this?? Hell, I didn't realize ANYTHING in this fucking dream, lol). Apparently, my dad had died in a car accident. I was about to cry as my grandma was discussing how he never came home from his band practice last night, and his bass player Brian was worried and told my grandma. Nobody could get a hold of him. Now I realized why I wasn't picked up from "school". Uncle Ward was driving and soon the dream skipped and I was at what was supposed to be my grandma's house, but was actually a house I had never been in before. We were watching the news about a group of cars that had fell in an incinerator, or something. I was looking for a white cavalier(even though my dad drives a orangish/red Dodge Neon, lol). I saw several white cars, but none were Cavaliers. So I ignored it. I woke up around here.

DJ Log: June 13, 2012 – 5:00AM (USA Eastern)
• NON-DREAM • NOTES • DREAM • LUCID •

(Note: I woke up around 3:00AM and decided to get up for a bit. I poured a tall glass of organic apple juice with a little elderberry concentrate added, and then I sat at the computer reading some posts on the DV forums. I read a thread titled I returned to bed around 4:00AM.)

I find myself standing in a small bathroom in an unfamiliar house. The walls have a dark floral wallpaper and the ceiling is covered with decorative square copper tiles. There is no toilet, but there is a tall urinal along the wall. The bathtub is an antique copper claw-foot tub. I look at the fancy copper trimmed mirror and I do not see my reflection. I immediately become lucid and jump into the mirror.

Once on the other side of the mirror, I am standing in an old musty root cellar. The walls are covered with sagging wooden shelves which are full of old dusty wine bottles. There is a single light bulb hanging by its wires in the middle of the ceiling. I walk over and pick up a bottle and I struggle for a second to read the label. I try to pull out the cork, then I reach in my pocket and pull out a cork remover. The wine smells like pungent cheese but it tastes like water. I take a second taste and the flavor slightly develops a sweet rose wine flavor which fades quickly.

Thinking that my lucidity is fading with the flavor, I look up at my surroundings and see that the root cellar has changed into a dungeon. There are rusty chains and shackles hanging on the walls and there are torches on posts sticking out of the floor. I walk over to the wall and feel one of the chains. The rust is gritty and the metal is very cold. There are thick sheets of cobwebs covering all of the walls. When I pull the chain away from the wall, another mirror is revealed. I see my reflection for a split second, then I decide not to get stuck in the mirror. I pull the chains away and take a step back, then jump into the mirror.

On the other side of the mirror, I find myself standing in a small dark bedroom. There is a small dim lamp on a table next to an open window. The curtains are hanging out of the window, blowing in the wind. The bed and dresser are antique Victorian style and there is scratchy music playing from an antique phonograph in the corner. The hardwood floor is dusty and creaks as I walk. I stop and look at a painting on the wall of an old farm scene when I hear someone cough. I look over to see that fOrceez is sitting on a chair next to the phonograph, reading a book. I take a couple of steps toward him and he lowers the book and looks at me over the top of his reading glasses, then he asks me, “How was your flight?” I reply, “It was quite fun, but I'm not done yet!” I quickly turn around and see that the mirror is still on the wall where I came through. I take several steps back and run into the mirror. The surface does not give way at all and I bounce off and fall on my ass. fOrceez laughs as I stand up, dust myself off, and glare at the mirror. I cannot see my reflection, rather just a dark gray TV static pattern. Deciding that I'll just find another mirror elsewhere, I jump out of the window and fall into the ocean.

(Note: For the first time that I can recall, falling did not wake me up or trigger a FA. I'm marking the last part as non-lucid because I think my lucidity was lost during the fall, but I'm fairly certain that I remained in the same dream.)

I hit the cold water and struggle for a moment to swim back to the surface. Once I regain a couple of breaths, I find that I am swimming in a very stormy ocean far from land. Just as I turn around to see if I am near anything, lightning strikes the water just in front of me. I suddenly wake up with the sound of the thunder still rumbling through my head.

I was only able to recall one dream (of large fragment of the dream) from tonight. Although what I can remember was moer detailed and seemed to last longer than the dream fragments from my previous entry so I assume that this is progress all in all.

In my dream I was driving my parents' car through the Dutch town of Eelde. All in all the town seemed normal and the details I saw were correct. It was a nice and sunny day and my mom and me who were sitting in the car were conversing about something, it was not a negative subject although I am unable to recall what it was that we talked about. We were headed to my cousin who lives in Eelde. But because we were talking I took a wrong turn and the dream scene changed.

We were no longer driving in Eelde but were in the countryside. This was unlike any place I had ever been but the scene itself was not abnormal. I was driving a long road with grass on both sides of it and was headed for a farm which the road ran past. The farm was surrounded by tall trees and pretty much the only thing that was visible was its brown roof. In front of the farm was a dog, which looked like a Border Collie mix of some kind, it was black and white, small and had the ears of a Border Collie.

The dog barked at us and ran around the car, intending to follow it, which made me worry that I would in fact run the dog over. We (my mom and me) tried sending it away by making the noises Cesar Milan makes in the Dog Whisperer (a 'tshhh' kind of sound), but it did not work. The dog kept tailing us as I continued to drive past the countryside which now had farmland on its side as well. There was nothing abnormal in the environment other than the fact that I had never been there and that no such place exists close to Eelde.

Part of my brain may have even tried to tell me that by making me relive the moment where I took the wrong turn (in my dream I had never actually drove the car to make the turn while being aware of it) and making me wonder if this would indeed lead me to where we were now, seeing this did not entirely seem like Eelde to me. Despite that effort, however, I accepted the dream for reality, maybe partly because the dog was there again and was now in front of the car, making me stop.

Once stopped I got out of the car and walked over to the dog, intending to pet him. The dog was now a black Labrador looking like Maran (our own Labrador who passed away last summer). He came towards me and was happy with my attention. I showed him my hands which he carefully licked because there being cuts. I have the distinct feeling those were there because of something that happened in another dream, but I cannot remember what exactly. They were cuts like those of a cat. As I allowed him to lick me and petted him I woke up, ending the dream.

My parents and I were going on vacation to Alaska. A man—a guide presumably—was planning our Alaska trip, but he was not a professional. Then my dream replaced the trip to Alaska with China. We were in a park with a lot of water or fountains. My dad and the guide were walking ahead, leaving a small girl behind—a female relative, I assumed she was my sister or cousin. She was left behind because, though she might have been full of energy at that moment, she’d be too slow or tire out quickly later on. I picked her up and carried her with us, but carrying her around was rather uncomfortable for me.

We were supposed to go to Star River in China, but we went to Star River on the moon instead. We could breathe on the moon, which confused us. We saw astronauts in space suits, and a pile of poop. I poked it before realizing it was poop. The river was dried up, and had been dried up for years, but the erosion was still etched into the moon’s surface. The guide had intentionally misled us there. Other tours were led to the moon’s Star River instead of China’s Star River, it was a tactic used to waste time. We were disappointed that we were not at China’s Star River. We went back to China, and waited for our turn to take a tour of Star River. We waited in a cafeteria.


Interpretation
The moon, Alaska and poop (it looked like my duck’s poop, which I have seen an awful lot of these past few weeks) were all residue from the day before. The little girl might have represented my mother--after all, she was only there when I did not see my mom. My mother is often left out of international travel plans because of her pain and movement issues. My father, sister and I went to China in March without inviting my mother, realizing that she’d be incapable of walking so much. She was rather depressed the week that we were gone, and I’ve felt bad about it ever since. I sometimes view my mother as a child: incapable of managing on her own anymore. I also need a lot of patience with her, like I would with someone younger. I have been offering to help her more at my inconvenience because I know she can’t manage on her own. I also try to protect her from my sisters’ judgements about her, even though my mom drives me crazy too.

Flying In A Futuristic City (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I think this was my second lucid, but unfortunately it's relatively hazy due to my recent neglect of my dream journal. I do remember the immense pleasure, however.

I'm on my own in an empty, colourful, futuristic city, leaping of objects and buildings and flying. I spend a while playing with this new ability, though it fails me on occasion.

Shooting Down Planes (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


I'm in a Fallout 3-type setting with a crowd of armour-clad strangers. Me and a friend, new to the team, try and shoot down an enemy plane with a pistol and a sniper respectively.

We fail to bring it down and get mocked by the other, more experienced, soldiers.

Another plane arrives, and I notice it's an AC-130. We frantically shoot at it, knowing it is likely to destroy us, but nothing works. Huge explosive shots begin to land all around us, and the leader of our troupe suggests we use the two rocket launchers.

I volunteer instantly and take it down.

Earthquake (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID


I'm driving to a hospital with my dad, and I tell him about my recent lucid (see above), yet he doesn't seem to care.

After parking on the top floor of a car park, an earthquake hits the building. The building shakes erratically for an unusually long time, and everyone panics.

Once the earthquake has passed I notice a woman who has managed to keep a 5ft stack of pub glasses standing throughout, which I find very impressive!
