    1. Sun Gives Birth to 'Taboo Planet'

      by , 08-14-2011 at 10:51 AM (Dreamography)
      After a period of intense solar activity, a newly formed planet emerges from the sun. Everyone seems happy and excited at this extraordinary event, and I myself am crying tears of joy. Hanging in the night sky, it looks just like the earth, apart from differences in land mass.

      People are somehow able to visit this new planet, which is fully conscious and able to communicate. It does this by manifesting characters from one's own memory and allowing a regular conversation to take place.

      The primary concern of this planet appears to be how we perceive and treat (mistreat) the children of earth, in terms of denying, suppressing and generally failing to honour their sexuality and sexual expression.

      Recalling my own childhood experiences, I completely understand this point, and return to earth with continued excitement and joy. As I access my favourite news forum, however, it's clear that a profound change of mood has taken place. One of the subject headings is simply "Pedo-Planet", and there is now intense hostility toward this new world, which I find hard to fathom.

    3. No Cheating (not even in a dream)

      by , 08-14-2011 at 07:29 AM
      I begin by visiting a friend that I am not extremely close to in my waking life, but in the dream it feels as if she is my closest companion. The feelings aren't sexually attractive though, she has more of a sister-figure feeling. I enter and we begin watching TV together, she has just moved in to her new apartment, so there is no furniture yet, just a TV sitting on the carpet, so as we lean against the wall, I extend my arm so that she can be more comfortable.

      She plays sports often, so when her legs begin to ache, I pushed down on her knees to help her stretch them out as I do have some knowledge of sports related injuries, I plan to be a doctor one day. Again, all of this up to this point feels sincerely friendly but nothing more on my side. She then does something peculiar, at first I almost think it's an accident but I soon realize she is purposefully pulling up her shirt. I reach and pull it back down, preventing her from exposing herself with a feeling of uneasiness and guilt as I feel I have led her on.

      She begins to almost cry saying that she knew she wasn't pretty enough, but I quickly stop her and tell her that that is a lie. I tell her that she is indeed very beautiful, and that it is not her lack of anything that is preventing me from wanting her. I inform her that I am very happy in my relationship with my girlfriend (waking life girlfriend), that we have been together for almost 4 years and are practically engaged at this point.

      In the dream I thought this would bring her some relief, that it wasn't that I found her repulsive but that I was just not available to any female because of my outstanding long-term relationship. Instead, she began to bawl and weep uncontrollably. This pained my heart, seeing a girl cry like that was killing me. I repeatedly asked her what was the matter, and why my use of the word engaged made her become so upset. She got up and ran out of the house and I chased her, begging to know what was making her so sad. When I went outside to try and find her, she was gone, and I woke up.

      Thebeastofold's Dream

I had just layed down and had just turned off the light...and i was the only one home at the time except for my dog..and i'm pretty sure she doesnt play mayan flute...


      grocery shopping: Diabetic supplies and wine


      I was at a grocery store somewhere, I didnt recognize it and i was standing by one of the checkout lines looking at packages of diabetic test strips (I'm not diabetic, go figure) and the lady by the register was staring at me intently, I looked over at her and she said "dont try to find the right ones, we dont have them" so i said "oh, ok, and walked away, I realized i needed beer so i went to the liquor section and there was a group of young people standing in a circle holding hadns in the middle of the fdreakin isle! they were chanting something that sounded like "you will become lucid, do a reality check, you will remember your dreams" they were saying it in such a way they were over lapping each other and i had to concentrate to understand what they were saying, I didnt become lucid unfortunately even tho i understood what they were saying... then a guy behind a counter atthe end of the isle said to me "you aughta join their prayer group, they'll be done in a minute" i just frowned at him and i turned around tand they were walking away..i started looking at the beers on the shelf and noticed they were out of blue ribbon..(i dont drink blue ribbon normally) and it annoyed me..so i started looking at the wine section....woke up...


      becoming a youtube star, weird stereo system...

      I was sitting in some car repair place having an intense conversation with a coule of the mechanics about youtube...i could hear Chers - if i could turn back time, playing in the background from somewhere...anyway, we were having a conversation about me becoming a youtube star, i kept saying i'm not youtube star material, I have no talent, and the other guys kept saying, that i could sing cher songs..ya right!! so got up after a bit and walked out the big garage door and around the back of the building to the right, i came to an office next tot he building i was just in and went in....there was a stereo system of some kind against the back wall, the the thng the stereo was in was so dark i really couldnt see the components...i reached into my pocket and found a remote for a receiver i wonwed like 20 years ago...i pointed it at the stereo and it turned everything on! i looked at the remote and started pushing random buttons, the tv that wasnt there a second ago, no hanging on the wall above the stereo came on and startled me......there was a picture of chichen itza! i became lucid and asked myself outloud, wonder if i have time for this...? i went to turn off the the stereo with my old remote, then i realized if i hit the wrong button i might screw up the dream, so i stuck it back in my pocket, and i starte walking towards the tv...i floated up and through the screen and when i landed, i was standing in a dense forest...i started walking towards wher i thought chichen itza was but never found an opening, all of a sudden i found myself walking around my back yard(i have alot of trees in my yard) I looked around and heard my alarm going off, the dream ended...bummer...

    6. 17th shared dreaming attempt - MrIrony's dream

      by , 08-13-2011 at 10:30 AM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      MrIrony's dream

      I can't remember all of the beginning, but here's a summary of what happened:
      I'm a king. My wife gave birth to my daughter some time ago. I'm really happy because of it. Something about evil witch taking place of my wife. I found out about it and banish her. Then I leave my daughter to a maid in my castle and then me and some knights leave the castle (Which, from the outside, looks identical to my house.) to find my wife. At this point I'm not the king anymore, I'm a peasant or something who is supposed to help the king and his knights on the journey. They are already on horseback, waiting next to the "castle". There are some swords near them, so I grab one. I can barely swing it with one hand because it's so heavy.
      (Or I'm just weak. Could be that too. Most likely that.) Then I become lucid, take the sword with me and start walking away from the yard. The king asks me where do I think I'm going. I tell him I'm going to scout the area around us for clues. He thinks it's a good idea and lets me go.

      Suddenly I'm in some place that seems a lot like a mall. My sword has turned into an battleaxe. I walk through one door and see that I'm in one bulding near one of my classmate's house. I remember that I'm supposed to go to chichen itza and try to imagine it being outside. But everything is just like in real life. I go back to the house. Now there's a lot of my classmates running around. There are some tables placed around the room. I see the boy who lives close to this place and ask him why are my dreams always geographically correct. He starts explaining something about parasites. I listen even though I'm not believing a word he says. I just don't want him to get mad and attack me, which would cause everybody to attack me and thus end the dream. Once he stops talking I walk out of the room back to the mall and see an doorway that leads to darkness. I think that would be a good place to teleport to the pyramid as I can't see what's on the other side, so I walk there.

      I walk in a dark corridor for a while before appearing into some place. The ground and trees are all minecraft-y. There's an large pit on the ground. Then some creature approaches me. The dream tells me that it's a bear and it's the newest upgrade to minecraft. It's not made of blocks, although it's doesnt look like a real bear either. I just jump and decapitate it with my axe. I think of jumping to the pit in an attempt to teleport, but decide to walk forward instead. There are pits everywhere. Soon I meet a witch. She's also not minecraft-y nor real, like the bear. She shoots some random magic spell at me, but I just run directly at it and decapitate her too. Then I encounter another bear, kill it, go forward. Then I finaly see something new in the distance. A vault door. But there's some vampire in front of it, made with the same style as the witch and the bear. I hit him into the stomach a few times, but he doesn't die. Then I succesfully remove some part of him, dunno what, and after that I, once again, cut his head off. I run towards the vault,
      but my dream ends.

    7. Pinball Girl

      by , 08-13-2011 at 08:25 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      I was with a group of people. This chick was playing pinball and kicking ass. She got a little over 3,000,000 on her first ball, obviously winning several free games and stuff. When her first ball was finally over, I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around me. I told her how hot she was, and she told me she wanted to eat some special treat with me, but it is as though we were deciding for everyone.

      Just then someone came around the corner and asked the crowd what they wanted to do. They decided via the lady that walked in to get some other kind of treat. I was disappointed because when the lady came around I had to put my lady down, and our plans were disrupted.

      Note: Then my wife woke me up because she found our change. I have Eisenhower dollars to give the kids when they lose a tooth and my boy just lost one. I figured I would journal this dream as long as the tooth ferry had to visit.

      P.S. My daughter had her first lucid dream last night. She decided to fly, and she made it above the clouds. It was interesting to see her expression after her first lucid. She's almost 8.

    8. The beginning of a new journey 12-02-10.

      by , 08-13-2011 at 06:35 AM
      My first readings about LDs was in November 2010; and then on December of the same year I had the Lucid dream that changed my life!
      It all begins when I'm walking on a very quiet street, it looks like a street from a small village, I see wooden doors, not side walks, the floor is uneven, and everything is very bright, just like day light...I'm very curious and I look around questioning where am I...?
      then has I look on the sky I...(I just got the goosebumps)... so as I looked on the sky I see a very clear night sky, full of stars, and the more I stare the sky starts to turn into hues of peach and red colors and now is an immense dome; I can't believe!...It is a dream! I start to look down and I see some doors in a very uneven ground. I proceed to do the RCs AM I DREAMING?... yes I'm dreaming!!! I look at my hand, at first I see 6 fingers or more then on the other hand the fingers are shorter and distorted, also the hands are inverted.
      Now I'm even more conscious of being inside the dream. I look to my left, from top to bottom, I see a temple like set up with spot lights. I see a dark brown statue of Buddha, and next to it a saint sitting on a gold throne with some scriptures, and carrying baby Jesus on his lap..I'm in awe!
      then I think what I'm I going to do next...? I notice that I have two little stones in my hand and I put them on the ground; then to my surprise I see a rectangle shape like fountain, looks like black marble and is about 7" X 18". I know it's clean I really what to try this out, I put my hands very slow and I can feel the water wetting my hands, I notice is not deep enough to submerge my hands totally, I keep wetting my hands like 2 or 3 times; then I wet my face and pass my hands through my hair. It is amazingly real!
      I look back into the temple and it haven't change much, the I look at the bottom of the dome and I notice there are like three doors, but at that moment I don't feel curious enough to open them. then I look up the enormous dome with colors and stars...the dream start to vanish, immediately I start to rub my hands to stabilized the dream but doesn't work; I also notice that I have some kind of music on my radio getting louder and louder...I wake up .. but I'm so !!!

    10. My Most Realistic Lucid Ever

      by , 08-13-2011 at 12:53 AM
      So I finally decided to start an online dream journal. I will most likely only post lucids and memorable dreams. I know there are several grammatical and wording errors. I tend to type/write a certain way even though it might be wrong.

      Warning: Kind of long

      Lucid Dream
      Lucidity/Clarity: Very realistic
      Notes: WBTB

      I woke up still feeling sleepy this morning. Instead of going back to sleep, I went to talk with my sister for awhile. We talked about dreams for about 15 minutes. I went back to bed.

      I fell asleep after about an hour. I realized that a dream was starting so I made to sure pay enough attention so I knew I was dreaming but not enough to wake myself. After a few moments, I realize that I am sitting in a classroom. I can hear students talking and the teacher calling roll. I was afraid to move because I was able to feel my body still in bed but I was also able to feel my dream body. I waited awhile longer for the dream to stabilize. I moved my dream arm to see if it was safe to continue.

      Suddenly the dream hit me at full force. Everything felt incredibly real. It almost felt realer than real life if that makes any sense. I looked around the classroom, felt my desk, and listened to my surroundings. This really helped stabilize the dream. I had no fear of waking now.

      The teacher was still calling roll. The dream characters was also very realistic. They all had their own individual conversations. I had no interest in listening. I decided that I would leave the classroom. I almost reconsidered and had to remind myself that I was dreaming and I didn't have to stay. I made my way to the door. "Where are you going?," the teacher asked. I told him that I was leaving. I was laughing to myself because I would never do such a thing in real life. He want to know my name to put on the roll but I ignored him.

      The hallway was full of teenagers. Some were talking with friends or going through there lockers. I didn't know what I wanted to do in this dream. I decided to summon a creature. I imagined an alligator like thing. It was able to stand upright and talk for some reason. The creature grabbed me and tried to eat me. In fear of losing control, I let him do it. I was about halfway into his mouth when I decided to do reality checks. I observed my surroundings again. The air was hot, moist and smelled like stomach acid. The smell was so strong I had to keep myself from gagging. I remembered that throwing up wasn't necessary so I stopped feeling nauseous. The walls the creature's throat was very smooth, warm and a little slimy. Despite being halfway into the throat, I was able to see its stomach. The stomach acid smelled really bad and had a neon green color. I knew being closer to liquid would probably increase the smell so I decided to crawl out of the creature's mouth. I felt a little strange because of the dream characters staring. Usually dream characters disappear when I don't think about them but these characters never left. I felt a little better when I saw the creature gagging in the corner.

      I exited the school. I didn't remember walking out of it. I was worried that I would wake up soon so I did reality checks again.(Note: I find the nose RC to be very useful and reliable.You don't have to use your hands to do it and you can do it at any time.) I also took this time to observe my surroundings and re-anchor myself to increase stability. Again, I was astounded by how realistic everything was. I was able to feel the slight breeze and coldness of the air. It was late afternoon and the sky had a dark purple to blue gradient. There was a neighborhood outside the school. Most of the houses had two stories and had similar styles which reminded me of a neighborhood in a dream I had several years ago. There were many trees. Each house probably had a tree or two in the yard. There were people walking around. They all wore costumes and walked house to house. I had a feeling that it was Halloween. I also felt that it wasn't Halloween but something very similar to it.

      I walked into the middle of the street. "Let's show them my "costume"," I thought to myself. For some reason, I found the thought to be funny so I laughed a little. I did the usual thing I do when I transform. I threw myself toward the ground to stand on all fours while imagining my usual wolf form. I think it looks similar to the Mexican wolf or a wolf with brownish black fur with light brown splotches in some area.(I'm not really sure about this.) The nearby dream characters began to screamed and run away. I started laughing and felt empowered. I felt proud that they were afraid of me. I usually would attack and kill for fun but the sound of their screams and expressions made me feel a bit guilty. I saw one of the characters pointing toward the sky. I then realized that they weren't afraid of me but of the large meteor hurling toward the neighborhood.

      Now somewhat afraid, I returned to my human form and ran to look for cover. I had somewhat forgotten that I was able to stop this but I doubted myself. While running, a boy, around seven or eight years old, started to run with me. He had brown/blonde hair and blue eyes. He was also looking for a place to hide. We ran into the backyard of a house. There was something like a storage area. It had a roof but no walls. We sat underneath it for a few minutes. I was still able to hear people screaming in the distance. I waited for the impact but it never happened. I was confused so I just decided that it wasn't that big and wouldn't effect my current area.

      I went to explore some more. The boy followed me. I wondered if I should speak to him but I knew that this dream was long enough. I would most likely forgot most of it. While I was deciding if I should wake myself up so I can write in my private journal, I watched the sky. The sky was the same color as before but there were small orange streaks that would occasionally fly across the sky. I stopped walking when I reached another street. There was a house or two and an overpass. There was a city in the distance.

      Suddenly, a larger meteor appeared. People began to panic again. I felt confident that I would be able to stop it. I wanted to save the city and the dream characters. I remembered Kamehameha move from Dragon Ball Z. As I got into position, I realized that the meteor was moving very fast and would hit the city if I took too long. Instead of yelling out the entire name, I yelled "-hameha" and thrusted my palms into the direction of the meteor. Nothing happened. I was a bit disappointed until I saw a small blue flash on the meteor. The meteor exploded into dust with a very loud crack. The people around me cheered and thanked me.

      I suddenly got tunnel vision and lost feeling of my dream body. I knew I was probably waking up and remembered to stay still. Once everything turned black, I imagined a new scene so I can continue.

      I managed to enter a new dream without losing any clarity. I didn't get to do anything eventful because I woke up about thirty seconds later.

      Sorry about the really long post. This dream was the most realistic dream I have ever had. I felt that summarizing it would make it less fun to read. If anyone actually reads dream journals.
    11. Dancing with Yuya

      by
      Hyu
      , 08-12-2011 at 09:26 PM (Hyu's Adventures)
      With yesterdays successful DILD, I decided to attempt to WILD today.
      I set myself an alarm to go off after 5 hours of sleep, but I fell back asleep immediately after turning off the alarm. ~_~

      I'm at some sort of party, but it all seems a bit weird.
      There's mostly older people, and everyone is dressed very nicely.
      I notice that I myself am wearing a suit.
      The place has an absolutely huge dance floor, and everyone seems to be dancing.
      I feel completely out of place and sort of at a loss what to do.
      I'm not just going to ask a random 40 year old women to dance now am I? Plus I can't really dance...
      I walk towards what seems to be a bar, contemplating to awkwardly have a drink while everyone else is dancing.

      But on my way to the bar I notice that the lighting in this place is rather odd.
      Everything seems so... gray?
      It's not like everything is lacking color, but everything seems so desaturated and sort of sad.

      But then I see her, the women in red.
      She's wearing a really nice red dress and seems to completely violate the current lighting setup in this room.
      Even though everything else is desaturated and lacks contrast, her dress is extremely bright, to the point where it nearly blinds me.
      My curiosity draws me towards her, and as I get closer, I realize who it is...
      Yuya!

      As I become lucid, all the colors become brighter, and the whole scene becomes somewhat normally lighted, except for Yuya, who still stands out quite a bit.
      She's the only one by herself, and is just standing there in the center of the dancefloor.
      Trying not to get too excited, I approach her. She doesn't see me coming because she's staring in the opposite direction, but she probably knows that I'm approaching her anyways.
      As I get closer I'm a bit surprised to see that her hair is all wet.
      I whisper in her ear:

      "Wanna dance?"
      "Of course!"

      We start to dance to some music I don't really know. I'm a bit worried that I might suck at dancing, but everything works out surprisingly well.
      Her wet hair smells of Teraluna.
      The dancing is rather energetic, we turn around quickly and the background turns into motion blur, so I can only see Yuya clearly.
      This makes it rather difficult not to stare at her, especially because she has those extremely beautiful and bright eyes with infinite details.
      The glowingly bright dress isn't really helping either.
      But after some time I manage to relax and enjoy the dance.
      Everyone else appears to go away, leaving the dance floor to Yuya and myself.

      It's a bit weird seeing her in a red dress. She's always wearing white, blue or green, basically cold colors, which are dominant in my dreams.
      My last dream already featured a surprising amount of warm colors, how weird. Has something changed?
      We dance for some more without talking. We share some thoughts which I unfortunately cannot remember.

      The dream starts to fade away and I know there is no way to stabilize it. Somehow I'm aware that it's late and I'm waking up.
      I give Yuya a big hug and the dream ends.

      For some reason the coliseum in Rome was on an island owned by some kind of criminal. The criminal had prisoners, and I allowed myself to be captured to help them escape. I used my charm and wit to get the criminal leader to let me go, then I set free all off the prisoners.

    13. Tornado Alley O.O

      by , 08-12-2011 at 06:21 PM
      A frequent dream I've had over the years. My town is like assaulted by hundreds of tornadoes and they destroy everything.

      From memory there are three versions to this dream:

      1) It centres around my primary school. It happens while I'm in class and the next thing I know I'm outside being CHASED by a tornado!!

      2) This one happens while I'm at home: once we see the tornadoes form, my family and I rush to the tall apartment buildings near our home and hide in their cellar (for some strange reason). The building still collapses but we survive.

      3) This one happens while I'm in town and driving down a road. A massive storm system forms and I take refuge in a book store. However lots of tornadoes form and begin destroying buildings. At the end of it I exit the building and drive home to find only the centre of the towns business district destroyed.
    14. Could be a dream sign?

      Last night was the beginning of my dream recollection experiences. My first one I remember vaguely but within that dream I remember my mom taking Vicodin, this could be a dream sign for me in some sort of way but we'll have to wait and see. This is my first dream journal.. but my mom is a past addict to many meds which really scarred me for life, this could have something to do with a Dream sign.
    15. The White Death

      This is an old dream, of which I recall visiting a large, white, featureless building on this rainy night. I was expecting to visit Dad, who had found employment there by some means as a medical coder. When I went inside, everything was as clear and as white as the building’s surface. Its residents, or employees, were strangely very pale and rather uncanny. They all spoke in monotone, and I swore that if I looked away, the entireties of their eyes blackened within my peripheral vision.

      There were framed pictures throughout, group photos including the manager of this place and some CEO-type guy. Everyone in it was paler than a ghost, so I was somewhat disturbed as I searched for my Dad. I eventually came upon a room in which he was on a white desk, tapping keys on his white computer. When I approached him, I argued that we leave this creepy place before anything bad actually happens to us. He disagreed, whispering to me that his actions were all part of a plan to sabotage these people. I didn’t know who they were or what they were capable of, but I was certainly going to find out.

      Dad and I exited the building, ignoring the hollow glances of the many pale men and women of the business. It felt like they continued staring at us even after we passed them by, suspicious of our actions.

      It was a rainy morning at home, when I met an intruder storming our kitchen counter. I confronted him and beat him to submission while he screamed and jittered maniacally, leaving a trail of post-it notes yielding clues as to the nature of his organization. Dad took him away for interrogation as I reviewed each note. I don’t remember the exact details I found, but I do remember reacting as if I were horribly disturbed, and terrified of what these strange, pale people did that caught my father’s interests.

      Dad returned with our handcuffed intruder, telling me that us two should “suit up.” I would have asked why, but circumstances made the answer obvious. So, boom! Like many more dreams I'll copy from my handwritten DJ, we donned our costumes and became Batman and Robin!

      A moment later, more pale people (this time in Mardi gras attire) swarmed our house, visible through our windows as they ran about to attack the entrances with their many serrated blades. The first wave to enter our house was met with our hostage, who we threw into the crowd, disorienting our enemies long enough for us to beat them to pulps with our fists and our feet. We improvised by stealing the unconscious’ blades to confront the many intruders in our back yard, gradually fighting them off as we cleared wave after wave from each part of the house.

      And… that’s all I remember.
