memorable

So in real life i have this shirt which pretty much advertises the drink: Sprite.
I was going to buy another one of these shirts with some friends, except this shirt was for one which has zero sugar or something. Outside the shop I hugged someone and saw my friend's brother, and behind me I heard another friend say "That's Hughs brother!" (Hugh being a friend of mine).

Time for the next dream!

I was with a friend, we drove to meet someone they know, and waited for them, then this person walked out from behind a car and said "you're late" We then got into some kind of spaceship and flew somewhere, then something like a flying wale attacked us then we crashed into this massive forest like place.

Managed to remember a good few last night, though I recall not writing some down because they were depressing. But, the last one I got down was pretty... interesting lol.

#1 - Why Do I Keep Dreaming About Gangs?

I'm in some kind of vacation house chasing what I refered to as "dust bunnies", they remind me of the fuzzies from Paper Mario (the black ones) and also of the spirits or whatever they were in My Neighbor Totoro. I'm waiting for my friend M to come over, but before she does I wander off and start walking around the neighborhood. Somehow I end up in front of some diner where there's a guy who looks like he's about to rob me and this other guy who was standing there, so I run into the diner, but then he comes in and holds the diner hostage. He tells us that this diner is now under gang control, and then we hear a loud noise like some kind of boom and someone tells us to run. We all make it out of this door in the back and run by a school bus down what is now a long and deserted field of grass with the diner being out in the middle of nowhere, and the criminal is running with us.

#2 - Killing Time

I remember watching a video about a kid coming to terms with his asexuality, and that's it before I woke up.

#3 - The Final Test

I'm in some kind of college, waiting to meet up with M again. I'm wandering around again (I guess I didn't learn my lesson before ) and I end up in a very strange hallway. Basically, looking down the hallway, there are glass doors leading outside just to the right of me. Beyond that on the right, just a wall, but also another door much further down. On the left, there's nothing but glass walls, that seemingly repeat row after row (the same length of the hallway I'm already in) and go on forever. Every now and then there's a line coming down the wall to show that that's where that piece of glass ends and the next one begins. Suddenly something starts happening outside as I hear a lot of commotion, and a wall of ghosts starts materializing on the other side of the glass, as far down as I can see. Different sections of the wall move closer and further away from me like in a wave pattern. I get freaked out and run outside, which causes all of the ghosts to dematerialize. Everyone seems to be freaked out out here too, so since the ghosts are gone I head back inside but some monsters have spawned and I end up having to fight them, and I lose and die. So I get sent back to my most recent checkpoint, when the ghosts first materialized, which seems perfectly normal at the time. I continue that same routine until I've died a few times, then decide that I need a new strategy. This time, I waited for the ghosts to become really solid and get further out of the glass and I realize it's a bunch of people I actually know. :O I realized that the ghosts weren't my enemy, and they told me that they actually want to dematerialize, so I do still need to go outside but then when I come back in don't stay to fight the monsters, just run down the hallway and don't stop until I reach the other exit. I nodded and did that, and I almost got killed again! But I finally made it to the exit. As I get outside, I meet up with J, and he says "Welp, we've finally finished college." and I respond "Yeah, and I only remember like three hours of class. " ... As we walk triumphantly off into the distance with a large crowd of people, the ending music from Star Wars plays, and my dream comes to a close.

After drawing that portal... holy crud it got exciting in the dream world...
___
First going to bed:
Man in a mask. we had a long walk around the science building of my school. out talk ended with him saying something like, "You are not quite ready for the whole truth."
___
After waking up at 6:30 and going back to sleep:
Crazy adventures!

Smashing zombies I am spawning in an industrial strength zombie smasher, I think Nomad might have been there. I got mad because I was trying to record it, and got launched backward. there was some sort of forcefield launcher that was trying to shoot electric forcefields at me. I dodged them and threw the forcefield launcher behind me and got back to trying to record.

Standing on a ledge with either Nomad, or a Guide I have yet to learn the name of, the view is breathtaking. we seem to be talking, or maybe we are just taking in the view.

Looking through Nomad's Dream YouTube channel, laughing at the trolls (Or maybe taking them seriously? don't remember) some crazy stuff there yo, check it out sometime.

Something about someone (Nomad?) shouting, "WIZARDS!" then... laughing?

ended up in Jail somehow... Skyrim jail... nocliped through the bars, went down a pipe and found a sugar cookie with pink frosting and sprinkles?

A Giant

I was looking out the side bedroom window. Clear as day, I saw a giant. He was about 80 feet tall. He was black. I remember the detail in his face...shape and all.

He had bad intentions. I was really scared. I saw a school bus floating just outside my window over to the side. I remember telling my wife that it was all real, or that he was bad, as evidenced by the bus floating outside the window.

The End

I also had a dream about being a giant myself.


Family and Friends

I was in someones back yard. My fgf was sitting to one side. About 20 feet away, my dad was sitting next to M. About 20 feet away from that was another couple...they were friends in the dream.

I was going to take a picture of my dad with his girlfriend, but his head was hanging down. I know this was because my father has passed away. Instead, I decided to take a picture of mogf, or the other couple, or maybe I ended up taking a picture of my dad and M. if he lifted his head. I can't remember, but I did end up getting one picture.

This is interesting because I just had a dream about having pictures of me the night before.

The End

As far as I could remember back in my dream, my mom let me go into the "Vegas Strip" (though it looked nothing like it, it actually looked like the interior of a mall) alone. I walked down one of the balconies, where a large fat man came up to me wearing some casual attire, and so he asked me about how being in Vegas felt, and I said good. He then asked if I wanted to buy something that would make me feel good, and I didn't reply as I entered a mall, then two cops quickly took the man away. The shop looked like a gift shop, really. It was bright and clean, but next thing I knew, I was looking from a bird's eye view, the gift shop, except now it was claimed to be a secret weapons base that was actually located on a hill on an island. I was now an Argonian from Skyrim, from the Elder Scrolls Game series, and I was following around a man in a robe, though he had nothing to say, but a narrator suddenly came in and began telling how the dome was a secret weapons base where the Hulk was created. That's about as much as I remember... but these dreams are getting weirder and weirder...

Another fragment recall last night, on to the classic of the day.

Dimension Portals
Date: October 13th, 2009
Lucid: Yes

Once again I was in a threatening situation. Some guy was holding me at gun-point and I hoped so intensely that it was a dream, that it turned into a one. All the sudden I teleported to my living room. There was no need for reality checks - I immediately realized that it indeed was a dream. I also had an idea on what to do right away - the challenge in our forum back then was to enter a tv-show's of your choice reality. My choice was South Park, as that was something I obsessed back then.

I did stop to talk to some random little girl that was in the living room, but then I proceeded with my plan. I went out, towards our barn. For some reason outside was mostly dark, but there were some illuminated flowers there as well. I just passed them by, but as I went by them, one yellow flower appeared in my chest pocket.

Once at the door of the barn, my brother was there. I am no stranger to asking help from DCs, so I told him that I need to get to the South Park. He gestured me to follow him inside. There were some rectancular, light blue energy fields - dimension portals. My brother lead me to one of them and told that it will transport me to South Park. He went in first and vanished. I followed him through the portal and... it didn't work. I just went through the blue field. I felt this odd, cold feeling, but it didn't transport me to anywhere. I was sitll in the barn.

I tried going through different portals, entering them in different postures, etc. Nothing worked. Finally I noticed that there was one port on the floor. I dropped through it and poof! I was still in the barn... something had changed though. I felt like I had travelled through time - in to the future... 1000 years into the future. There were some people there that put an odd contraption on my head, so that I couldn't hear or see anything - they feared that I would become distraught for being so far in the future. I guess that makes sense, give me some time to take it in before exposing me into the drastic changes of the civilization.

It would have been interesting to eventually see where the world had gone to in my dream's future, but unfortunately I woke before seeing anything more.

So there I am in my dream classroom, there are some students waiting for some teachers to come with some fireworks. two teachers come into the classroom with some crystal boxes and inside about 8 cylinders to fill them with some colorful firework powder.
I start to fill the cylinders as the students are patiently waiting. I start thinking that there would be a lot of smoke and the roof may burn, but then I realize that this is just a dream and nothing would harm me or the people around me. I continue putting as many colors as I want, the other teachers are ready to start the fireworks...When I finished all cylinders I look at the teachers and they can't start the fireworks, then I say I could start them with my superpowers, so I tell them to move back; and there they are 3 crystal boxes full of fireworks i concentrate on the boxes and then with a snap of my fingers they all light up at the same time, many colors start to shoot out into the ceiling, and as they touch the ceiling butterflies start to come out from the top of the colorful fire fountains everyone is amazed, until...a big explotion on one of the cylinders, one of my special education students ran away so I have to go after him and the dream starts to fade out.

This is going to be some old dreams that i have remembered because I've just started my DJ yesterday and I want to write these down.

This first dream was fun. I was in this circus tent that was fairly big. It had a grass floor and there was a girl that was wearing to much make up throwing knifes at me. The reason it was fun was because I was in slow-mo almost like the matrix and i could fly-float. to be honest I don't remember touching the ground. But sense the dreams I'm writing about have all been from long ago it is hard to remember correctly.

In this dream me and my friends (I forget who) were walking down this street at night. Out of the corner of my eye I caught the alien from the movie ET walking up a side street. I screamed ET!! and the alien sprinted down the road. Red text appeared in front of me. It read "You have gave away ET's position...Hes coming for you." I then heard the aliens scream it does in the movie and I woke up.

This was a fairly weird dream that seems funny now but was actually scary when it happened. It was me and my friend Sean sitting in a mini-van just talking. I see my friends face turn to pure fear and he points out the window and screams "Micheal Jackson!!!" I turned over and looked out the front windshield. It was pitch black out side almost like we were floating through space. Then Micheal Jackson's face and just his face floats to the front of the van. He looked at me, smiled, then floated to the window on the door i was leaning against. I got scared and woke up.

This is going to be the last dream in this entree because there are no other dreams i remember or at least remember enough to write about. I was in what looked like a Costco. It had a really high cieling and huge shelfs with giant boxes on them. There was also a RC plane flying in circles dripping chocolate. I walked up and tasted some of the chocolate of the floor. It dindnt taste like anything so i stopped eating it and started following the plane looking up at it. I don't know why but it was very amusing to me. I remember that at one point some chocolate falling from it got in my eyes. After awhile of that i got a sudden gut feeling of being in danger. I looked at my hands and they were all blurry. Then i said to myself "Oh I'm dreaming" I suddenly felt myself lying in bed. I got to nervous witch is why i woke up.

Ok I just had to write about those in case i were to forget them. But from now on im only writing about the previous nights dreams.

So I know I had a long interesting dream but it's now the afternoon and i don't remember what my dream was about. That said there is a particular piece of my dream I do remember.
It was really vague but i was sitting in the back seat of a car leaning on my boyfriend. In my dream i was apparently on the run from some bad guys and was completely exhausted. I was holding my boyfriends hand and i remember thinking that i could go to sleep and be perfectly save because he was there. It was a awesome feeling. He had his arm around me and was looking out the window as if making sure the cars next to us weren't going to randomly start shooting. I remember smiling and finally dosing off.
That is around the time i woke up and sighed cuz i don't have a boyfriend...

This dream was really vague. I actually didn't even remember it until i was walking to class and all of a sudden it kind of came to me..weird, i know.

The dream started with me sitting on some bed, with my friends little sister and one of our friends. My friend(the first girls brother) died, and one of our other friends that was with him also died. I'm not sure why, or what happened. I just remember consoling her about it. And when i stood up and hugged her it was one of those tight hugs...and when i got ready to let go, she didn't. And from experience i know that's when a girl is really upset. For some reason that triggered my lucidity. That's when i really realized how weird the dream was.

She just kept crying on my chest, which made me cry...

Then i woke up..

I've tried to lucid dream without supplements, but it just doesn't happen. I noticed that the Benzodiazepine medication I took for occasional insomnia had the interesting side effect of vivid and / or lucid dreams, but not reliably. And sometimes the dreams would occur the night after the medication.

I tried Yuschak's recommendations from his book, but the galantamine is so stimulating I couldn't fall asleep again after taking it. But the following has worked several times now.

This morning (1/30/2012) at 2:00 am: 500 mg Choline, 600 mg Alpha-GPC and 8 mg Galantamine. I lay in bed and meditated. The combination has the effect for me of promoting very deep states of meditative adsorption, which is interesting in itself. around 3:30 I took 1/4 mg Xanax (generic Alprazolam.)

Eventually I did fall asleep and managed to stay asleep after attaining lucidity. I was active, making decisions, talking to dream characters and making requests. It was great!

Got another lucid this time! Short, but interesting. I got a little more abstract with my control of it, too. Other than that, a couple other interesting dreams as well. Not a bad night.

#1 - Fucking Hornets

I'm making some kind of video game with a lot of old friends (and a couple current), a guy I haven't seen since high school, and OpheliaBlue. Ophelia and the guy from high school are talking about adding some cinematic to the beginning of the game, so after we discuss how that would fit best they go off to start working on it. My friend O, still my current theory for who my dream guide is, starts talking about how we're going to do the opening credits, and he shows us what he has so far. I don't remember what they were, but I remember that they were pretty funny. But J gets all bitchy about the font size being too small, even though O hadn't actually tried to set it to what it would be in the game, he was just showing us the text. :T Oh yeah, also, we were doing all of this discussion in my bathroom, in front of the mirror lol. Possibly using the mirror as a screen to project things on, now that I think about it...? But anyway, J was standing kind of behind me, so when I turned around to listen to him talk I noticed that there was a gigantic map of the world behind him, one that was clearly not visible in the mirror. As he's talking, he pulls out a much smaller, handheld-sized, map and starts talking about some "red bee therapy" (which I take to mean red hornets) then comes and stands right behind me to try it out and says their are a bunch of the red hornets right behind the map, which he's holding up to my back. Hornets. Now, for those of you who don't know, I hate bugs. They're... soooo nasty. >_< But hornets especially, they're like my least favorite bug there is. So I'm freaked out at this point. I look down at the counter and see a pair of scissors, which I quickly grab, and say "J, get those things away from me right now, I'm not even kidding, I will fucking stab you." He backs off, but one of the hornets gets left behind my back (somehow... ) and I reach back there and feel it. I feel a sting and start running around freaking out, and I grab it and squeeze it to death, something I'd never do in real life but I was desperate , and I threw it down on a table and saw it dead, but then it CAME. BACK. TO LIFE. It's comically large and red with black stripes, and I grab a tissue box and start smashing it but even though it keeps getting nastier it never dies, and it's so gross it makes me feel like I have to puke, and I'm shaking. Then I woke up.

Thank god.

#2 - Fickle Emotions

I'm in high school in an English class that I never actually had, but it's boring so I leave to go find a different class, then pay that teacher $100 (two separate payments of $50) to let me be in her class instead. She shakes my hand and says "A gentlemens' agreement!" (More How I Met Your Mother references from my subconscious. ) But, she turns out to be a hard ass to the point that the other kids in the class are "troubled", like there's a guy not far from me to the right smoking weed in the middle of class, and the girl I sat down next to on my left is single and pregnant (but not visibly). However I learn through the course of the class that she's actually just a really nice girl and pretty cool, and I develop a little bit of a crush on her. I start messing with the teacher to make her laugh, and we end up getting along really well and she's even starting to act like she has a bit of a crush on me too, and it's so obvious that some of the guys in the class are visibly jealous. Somewhere down the line the teacher turns into my old Chinese class teacher and someone says something about him which gets me distracted, after which the girl just never shows up or is even thought about again. Class is over so I get up and walk around the hallways which turn into an enormous and clearly very expensive and high-end mall, and I'm trying to find my locker but it's too hard to navigate, I even pass through a jail cell on the way. I woke up after I found my way out of that lol.

#3 - Third-Person Control

O and I went to a head shop or something, and we saw someone getting arrested in the parking lot, so we quickly got in my car and drove off. While I'm driving, I notice that the accelerator keeps getting stuck, so I'm slamming the breaks to make the car slow down, but eventually it just goes faster and faster and faster until the car pulls up off the ground and we blast into the sky. But I became lucid at this point! I started steering us around the city, as we were in a downtown area with lots of tall buildings so it was fun just zooming around in our rocket car. Before too long I notice that my vision is steadily narrowing down to a very small area and I'm afraid that the dream is going to end if it gets all the way down to a dot, so I consciously switch it to third-person perspective control, which still feels like first-person. (Kind of hard to explain.) It worked for a little bit, though! My full view of the city was restored, and I could see that the car actually had turned into a plane. I start flying off to the side of my vision so that my camera angle moves over and we transition from the city to a mountain range, and the sky starts turning dark blue, so in order to keep the dream changing (rather than ending) I kept up. I had the mountains be just dunes in the background with the sky being underwater, and I transformed the plane into a fish, and I just swam around in the water a little bit, but then I finally woke up. :/ Oh well, it was fun!

So that's it for this entry. I'm definitely happy with the number of lucids I'm getting lately, even if they're brief.

Madness guides seem to be a good term for them, even if the word was never mentioned...
___
I am in a dark courtyard, there is a fence around the edge. There are 5 stone statues around a central node, arranged like this:
1OO5
.2O4
...3

This song is playing:

Specifically the part where the vocals come in

The statues depict what I described in the dream as demons, I am to choose one. I study their energy and find my attention pulled strongly to #2, and less strongly to #5. I walk up to statue #2.

(Etna)
This is basically what I see, she had a less revealing outfit on than appears in the Disgaea games, and her tongue wasn't sticking out... come to think of it, she was taller... so maybe it was just the succubus?

I glance at #5, a woman with bunny ears... I choose #2, and begin waking up.

I see #2 sitting at a table, with a manly chin, manly stubble, a manly body, eating a manly sandwich before I fully awake. (Lol)

I wake up and ponder what just happened to me, I eventually think of the term Madness Guide... well I can always use another guide, so I'll take it.

this was and experience i cant even begin to explain how real it was. but i wasn't expecting to have one or perhaps prepared would be the best word. i just started with me turning off the tv i was in the middle of Avatar and my daughter was having a hard time going to sleep cause she was wanting to figit and play around other than watch the movie. So shut the tv off and it probably only took me 10 mins to dose away.

(Dream)
I was in a house more specific a kitchen and thats when it hit me "i finally did it" i am dreaming! i was excited. the first thing i did was levitate then sway side to side but i kept losing control of the dream and what was going on around me. The next thing i new after that was there were people in the house and we were all talking i cant remember now what we were talking about but it seemed important. then all of a sudden i remember sliding down a long alley backwards in a car trying to break because there was an drop of at the end of this alley that seemed as big as a canyon. this happened twice in the dream. then i was back at the house again. i was scared at this point i remember i was wanting to wake up and i couldnt but then it changed again then i was around this beautiful girl that wanted to have sex then all of a sudden i was in control again cause i made another girl appear to and the both wanted to have some fun with me. ( I made the 2 one come) lol but we didnt seem to mess around for but a few seconds before i was back at the house again. i remember hearing audibles but i wasnt able to make them out. It started to get dark (scary) at this point with the audibles and not being in control i was scared for some reason. ( There was more i know but i cant recall them ) Once again i was in control again so i decided i just wanted to wake up since i was scared so i laid down on a couch in the house/kitchen and closed my eyes. i then woke up and thought i was awake but i then realized i was that the place i was in wasnt familiar (Cant Remember where) and this is when i started to feel at real unease. From, there i jumped to me walking around a supermarket that was completley empty other than random people walking around and my brother on my dads side. there where no products or anything on the shelves that were there, Then, as i was walking around my brother joined my side and i was once out of control again we entered this long corridor with a big fan at the end on the right
and blood splatters all over the walls and people were walking into the fan including my brother witch was the only one i actually seen walk into it and be sliced up with his insides hitting the floor and wall. At this time i was unwilling moving down the corridor i pass the fan on the right which has my brothers remains showing all over and thats when i looked up and saw the end of the corridor and it was black and for some reason i knew that this was going to be the way to wake up from this nightmare and as soon as i entered it i openrd my eyes real fast and closed them and opened them again a few seconds later and realized that i was awake. glad it was over but amazed at how real and weird the experience was ( and fun a points)

I have surpassed my recall streak. I've recalled something on 29 days straight. Yay me. To be honest, I guess that's pretty pathetic record for someone in this for over three years. But it is what it is, and I gotta be happy and keep extending it. For LDs the barren streak still extends to 43 days. I've had over two months without a lucid, so it's not record, but with this decent recall I'd expect better from myself.

In terms of my past dreams we are going to October 2009. I guess I had already peaked after the first excitement of the 9 months prior and started to coast a bit, so my results were going down. Still, I had more success than now. Non-lucid this time though.

Everybody Knows You're Lost
Date: October 2nd, 2008
Lucid: No

I was at my home, in the living room. I was just chilling out before the windows started moving. It was really odd. I ended up looking outside the window and following some girls with my eyes. Then the dream transitioned so that I was now looking outside a bus' window to those same girls. Then I transitioned again, this time in the front of the small bus, alongside the driver who I knew. We started a conversation about cars.

I: "They don't make good cars any more"
Him: "What do you mean?"
I: "Well you know... For example, they don't start in the winter etc."
Him: "Oh yeah..."
I: "And all those microchips etc. so there's so many places that can fail."
Him: "Yeah but if they're not in use then it isn't a problem."

Surprisingly sane conversation. He, I mean the driver, was really hitting the throttle despite the fact that the bus was now in some kind of city centre. He said that he drove 100 km/h and I looked at the speedometer and it confirmed that. Pretty insane guy. There was some hill where the I felt the speed in my stomach. The driver steered into some parking hall, still at least a hundred in speedometer and then just stopped like he hit the wall - despite not hitting one. All the other people got off the bus like nothing had happened.

There was my old PE teacher and the other people went along with him. I started wondering what the hell I was doing in this bus anyway. I didn't reach conclusion, instead I just decided that going along with him wasn't it. I guess the bus wasn't going anywhere any more, as I went outside. By now the surroundings had changed and it seemed like some kind of construction site. My brother / my friend Henri emerged from somewhere - it seemed to change from moment to moment, which one it was.

I didn't have any idea, where I was, but I didn't want to admit that to my brother / Henri. There was some... what do you call those spots where's map of the city on a big board? Anyway, there was one of those and I walked up to it to figure out where I was, only to be disappointed. There wasn't any map, just an empty space.

All the sudden clown popped out of somewhere. A fuckin' clown! Well, I wasn't stingy about whom I ask for direction, as long as Henri / my brother won't know I am lost. So I walked up to the clown to ask for directions. Henri came behind me and asked: "LOL, is that your superior ?" (as in a job)
"No", I stuttered, "I was just about to kick him in the nuts."

It was weird line to say, I guess I was trying to be funny. We have a weird sense of humor, but that's just messed up thing to say. Anyway, you don't fuck around with clowns as he first kicked my ankle and then smashed his fist right in my face. I was down for the count and my brother / Henri walked me far from the clown.

It seemed like every time when the other side was nice, it was my brother, and every time he was mean, it was Henri. Makes sense.

I wanted to get back at the clown. Partly to revenge, partly to explain that it was just a joke and that I wasn't really going to kick him, and partly to finally ask him directions. Jesus Christ, just admit you're lost, haven't you endured enough trouble already? I was also thinking about pressing charges against the clown, as he had just beaten me up without me doing anything. My brother managed to talk me out of going at the clown again.

All the sudden we turned right next to my former school. I figured I was in the place I was looking for, so I forgot about the clown and didn't care to meet him again. My brother thought that I finally came to my senses and realized that I couldn't beat the clown.

Then the dream transitioned again and this time I was at my home again. My mom asked me whether I reached anyone. I guess I was to meet some people in the school, or something like that. Then the dream ended.
