    1. Band Trip

      by , 01-14-2011 at 05:22 PM
      It started out I was in my house getting ready for the bowl game trip for the band. I was in the basement watching tv and walked upstairs to the kitchen. There was some man there handing out different packs of crackers and sodas. He said he had all different kinds of crackers but didn't have what he said he did. When everyone else left the kitchen I grabbed a pack and realized my friend, CH, walked out to the charter bus that was sitting in my driveway earlier that night. I walked out there to hang out and this girl from next door, I don't even think they have a daughter came running at me saying something about her dad wasn't there. I told her to go home. I went to the bus and opened the door. I got on and started closing the door. The girl was still there and I was worried her head would be stuck in the door because it was automatic open/close. I got on and the bus was packed and my friend from high school was on there who was not in the band. I found my friend who was my seat buddy. I sat in front of her because I couldn't get to her. I asked for my bag which had bbq sauce in it for my hotdog which I aquired some how. I then climbed over my friend from high school and sat next to CH.

      The next thing I remember was we were driving through some city 15 miles away. I asked the bus driver how far we have driven, he said 20 miles. I told him that we left 5 hours too soon and I hadn't packed. The driver exited the bus as we were going around and turn and then another driver took his place. Next, we were pulled over in some garage and me and the two other drivers were outside the bus. I walked up to them and shouted, "you retard." The second driver took offense to this and tried to start fighting. I blocked everything he threw at me. The first driver appologized and said, "the state of Tennessee would pay for my gas." I apologized for calling them retards, shook hands, and returned to my seat on the bus.

      When I got back I heard a small child ask M where's J (I'm J). I heard M shush her and I stood up to look for who was interested in me. I asked CH who was interested in me and she looked around. I found that it was M's small child friend. Next, I pulled out my phone to try and call my dad to pick me up. I spent minutes trying to dial his number on my touch screen phone but just could not do it. This is where I woke up.

      by , 01-14-2011 at 04:48 PM (Short Stories with Tragic Endings)
      I have asked my mom to take me to the mall, as I currently have no car. The dream
      begins when we get there. We are in the parking lot looking for a spot. It is a strange
      parking lot. It is normal now, but as soon as we cross in front of the building, which
      happens to not be a mall but like a Walmart or something, and get into the back part
      of the lot, It becomes a relatively simple maze. It is also an impossible setup, a cheat
      of architecture which I did not pick up on in the dream. We drove around, looking for a
      place to park and eventually, after actually passing up several perfect good spots without
      notice as the lot was pretty much empty, stopped directly in front of the building and my
      mom just dropped me off.
      I go inside and meet up with some friends from my dorm at college. The Walmart is huge.
      My friends and I meet up with some older students from the same college, whom I have
      never seen, and we go up to a dorm hall in a small building in the middle of the Walmart.
      The guy who comes to meet us and take us there is a slightly heavyset, stubble haired kid
      who looks to be a senior. Kind of like Buz from "Home Alone" but not quite as ugly. He
      takes us up to the top floor where we all talk and socialize, not doing much really. Its hot
      so I take off my jacket and put it on a table in a small room. Eventually my friends and I
      decide to leave and we go back out to the Walmart. Everyone is buying Halloween
      costumes which is extremely strange as it is January and there is snow on the ground
      outside. But it seemed perfectly normal so I started looking for something. Before I found
      anything, however, I remembered I left my jacket up in the room in the dorm. So I went
      looking for the building and couldn't find it. I searched for the building and for the kid for
      what felt like about ten or twenty minutes then forgot about it when I ran into my best
      friend. He asked me if I wanted to play a game of airsoft; that a bunch of people were
      setting one up and it would be a really massive game. Of course, I agreed. He gave me a
      full plastic airsoft.... AR-15 I think, and I went on toward the exit of the store. Noticing
      everyone's costumes. One in particular I noticed was a guy who had bought two rubber
      monster hands and was wearing them. The dream actually snapped to his 1st person view
      for just a few seconds while he played with them standing in the checkout line. Then it
      switched back to me as I walked out the door. I still had the rifle. I walked out into a
      much different parking lot. All the back, winding, intricate, and impossible stuff was
      gone. The median between the path in front of the store and the parking area was gone,
      and in its stead was a couple tour buses and what looked like some sort of scissor lift.
      I went over to the lift and a bunch of my friends from high school were sitting on it. There
      were about four sitting under the extended scissor beams and another six sitting on a
      metal platform about half way up the lift but behind me. Kevin complemented the AR from
      the extended part of the metal platform, and I started talking to some of my friends under
      the beams. My friend, Crystal, was in the center and Elizabeth to her right and back a little,
      and a few other people, I don't quite remember.
      The dream ended after about five minutes
      of talking, the subject of which I have no recollection.

    3. How long have I known you? - A friendly fight with Yuya.

      by
      Hyu
      , 01-14-2011 at 03:39 PM (Hyu's Adventures)
      non dream - lucid - non lucid

      I wake up from a non-lucid dream in the middle of the night, but I do not automatically open my eyes.
      I remember this is a good thing, but it takes me a few seconds to recall why I actually want to keep them closed.
      I'm happy that I managed to keep my eyes closed, though I have no idea how I managed to do so.

      I try to gently move a finger; it doesn't work.
      Great! I try to enter a dream, thinking about Yuya and Teraluna.
      I try to recall the unique smell and the humidity of the refreshing air.
      At one point I realize I have entered a dream and open my eyes.

      I'm standing on one of the bridges of Teraluna, facing Yuya's place.
      I try not to get too excited, but it's hard to control my emotions.
      It's daytime, the city is alive and active.
      I start walking towards Yuya's place, trying to focus on each of my senses to make the dream as stable as possible.

      As I reach the house I'm slightly confused as I want to knock on a door, but there is none.
      The house is missing outer walls.
      I do not want to intrude, and I do not want to yell to ask her if she's there.
      Suddenly I realize that I'm an idiot, we communicate telepathically all the time.
      I search for her aura, find it in the house and project a thought onto her.
      She comes running out of the house and jumps at me giving me a big hug.

      "Hyuuu"
      "Hi Yuya!"

      She's smiling the way she always does, I don't know any people who are able to express their happiness the way she does.


      "What do you want to do tonight?"

      That is a good question, I have hundreds of ideas, thousands of questions, but I don't know what to say.
      I think about WakingNomad's DJ. I want to go to visit unknown places, experience things I have never experienced before.


      "I can take you anywhere you want. But first you must remember something important!"

      "What is it?"
      "You need to remember how to fight!"
      "Riven is safe, but if we visit other places, it's possible that we will be attacked."



      (I don't remember what happened in between)


      We're standing on a stone foundation in the middle of a sea.
      The stone foundation is basically a big circle, probably 30 meters in diameter.
      It's a few millimeters below the water surface, so it's actually covered by a tiny bit of water.
      There's nothing around it, so if you step over the edge you'll just fall into the sea.

      Yuya explains that I should reinforce a small layer of energy around my skin to protect myself from any hits.
      She also says that we're not going to use any energy based attacks so that we don't hurt each other.
      We're standing in the middle of this circle, face to face, ready to fight.
      I'm excited. I know that I have fought in dreams before.
      I feel safe, like I'm more powerful than she is, I'm confident...

      But wrongly so. I am startled as I notice Yuya is holding my throat.
      We were a few meters apart but she got to me within just a split second, I could barely even see it.


      "Focus!"
      "You can't afford to think about your waking life while you're in a battle."

      This makes sense. I get back into a combat ready position, and try to completely focus on her and her movement.
      She comes at me again, she is extremely fast, I can't keep track of her with my eyes.
      However this time my body instinctively reacts, and I manage to block a series of hits.


      "Good, you remember a few things"

      But I didn't. My body reacted by itself.
      Of course! I know it from playing guitar: Muscle memory!
      That must be it! Of course my body will remember how to fight if I have done it before.


      "Focus!"
      "Sorry"
      "Try to remember, just because you can't attack me with energy doesn't mean you're not allowed to make use of it"

      What does she mean?
      She attacks me again, I can just barely block her attack.
      And then I realized what she meant.
      I can tell where she is by locating her aura, even if she is light years away, so why wouldn't it work if she's this close?
      Trying to feel her presence more clearly I start to see her aura, and the energy flowing through her body.
      It's a thin net of fluorescent strings, a bit like the veins in our body, except pure energy flows through them.

      She attacks yet again, this time I can see her much more clearly, and time feels slower.
      I manage not only to dodge her attack, I even attempt a counterattack though she easily blocks it.


      "Good!"

      I think I finally understand. I can just tell my body to do something without going into the specifics.
      If I play an F cord on the guitar I don't think about finger positioning, I just tell my left hand so grab an F cord, and muscle memory takes care of the rest.

      I decide to attack this time. As I do this, I instinctively enlarge the area covered by my own energy so it reaches her.
      I notice that this way I'm even more aware of her movements, and time slows down even more.
      We fight at an absolutely ridiculous speed, but I manage to keep up, and with each hit I get a better understanding of how to use my body.
      I'm absolutely fascinated, and don't think about waking life at all.
      This goes on for a few minutes. Water is splashing up with every step we take.
      We're not really exhausted but at one point we stop.
      It's only then that I remember my goals from waking life, and that I wanted to ask her more questions.
      I also notice that the dream seems to loose vividness, am I going to wake up soon?


      "So... longer than I think?" (I refer to what she said last time we talked)
      She smiles, but doesn't say anything. It doesn't feel like she's avoiding the topic though so I ask her more clearly:
      "I can't remember, when have we actually met for the first time?"
      This time it does feel that she's not entirely comfortable answering the question.


      "A long time ago... a very long time ago, it's normal that you cannot remember"
      I get a feeling that last time, she hinted at me knowing her for longer than I have actually lived.
      I'm not sure if I should ask even more, I don't want to make her uncomfortable.


      "I cannot answer that question clearly."
      "We live in different worlds, time is relative"
      She thinks about how to phrase her next sentence.
      I want to tell her that she doesn't need to tell me, but she feels my urge to know.


      "We have met in your dreams when you were a child... but... we have met before that... before you were born."
      "In another world?"
      "Yes. You can't remember, that's the way it works."

      "Hey, don't worry, I'm happy to be here, what matters is the present, not the past right?"
      There's that beautiful smile again. She's relieved.
      It's not like she wants to hide anything, I can feel that. It's just uncomfortable for her, because regardless of what she does, I won't be able to remember.

      "I can show you one day, if you want to."
      "Next time, I'll take you on an adventure, what do you say?"
      "Awesome!"

      (I think we talked some more but I can't remember)

      The dream fades away.

      Had two very vivid dreams last night.

      Lucidity-0
      Vividness-8

      Fun sex dream. Whoohoo! Girl from college. Great Bj.

      Lucidity-0
      Vividness-9

      Starts with me at a friends house. We are all having a thanksgiving dinner(or possibly another holiday). I grab a little food, then they say grace. I feel embarrassed that i grabbed food before grace. My friend grabs some too while someone was saying grace and we both laugh. There is a little girl their too that comes into play later.
      Dreamskip
      I'm outside somewhere. I have no idea where i am. There are a few medium sized buildings around, and a few trees. Out of nowhere these giant worm shaped, brown things come from the ground. They start going after people on the ground. They shoot a sticky brown string. Once they grab you they pull you back up into it. I jump off a nearby ledge. The whole city is apparently not on regular ground. Off the side is just a straight down view. There are hundreds of stories of the building going down.

      I start climbing down. I climb down maybe five stories before i head left. Each side of the mega-structure has a window on it. Apparently the whole thing is used as a living quarters for the people. I see the right room.I bust in, destroying the large window. It's completely dark inside. I scour the room and find the light. I turn it on and it's hard for me to see. For the next 10 minutes in the dream its hard for me to see. I find the girl that was in there, along with several other people, including my friend.

      We go back out the window. Outside the window has turned into a grassy field with a road on the other side and a fence beyond that. We all run to the fence. It's barbed wire. I try to pick up the bottom pieces of it and slide under but to no success. I run, grab over the barbed wire, and pull as hard as i can to get over. I mange to get over relatively unscathed. Somehow the little girl got over too. We head for a building in the distance. I turn around and see one of those large, brown, worm type things attacking people in the far distance.

      We get in the building and see that there are dozens of people in there. Most of my group moves forward alot into the main part of the building. The doors begin to close. The doors are made from iron and are not controlled by any of us. This was a trap to collect the people in the building. Only me and the girl from my group make it out of there. I walk over to my car nearby. I tell the girl to hop in the passenger seat. I start up the car. She starts walking around to get in while a guy pulls a gun out in front of me.

      He yells,"Get OUT of my car!". I reply,"No this is my car". The girl then turns to me and asks if she should get in. I whisper yes, yes, yes, now, now under my breath to where the guy with the gun couldn't hear me. As soon as she was close enough to in, i put it in reverse. There were a few obstacles in my way. I hit a tree backing up. I pulled forward and hit a parked car that was in the way. Backed up again, hit nothing. Then pulled away, all while being fired upon by that asshole DC. Out on the road we are following a guy on a motorcycle that is doing a wheelie. He is clearing a path through the street for us so we follow him for a while.

      After a bit i see my friend driving a car and he passes us. I turn my car around and catch up. Somehow the little girl got into his car. I wasn't worried about her, but was puzzled as to how she got their. We are riding along and for no reason, i flip a guy off. We continue on and i see a one of those giant brown worm again. Our road heads right along that way, but for some reason we knew we had to do this. The thing shot the sticky brown strings at us. They missed us and hit a few straggling civilians.

      For a second i get a first person view inside the giant brown worm type things. Inside i saw people being pulled up it until it got to the top. Two people were talking. A man and a woman. The man says that you have to increase the heat just right to create warriors.(he didn't say warriors. But it was something similar). The woman talks about how cold can be just right too.

      I'm back in my car. Me and my friend are driving over some crazy bridges. The craziness can barely be described so i'll do my best. There were 4-5 bridges total, but they all went up and down very quickly while not having rails on the side. Not only that, but there wasn't anything else around. You couldn't see the edges if you looked around. The massive room we were in was just monstrous.

      Anyway, we were heading along those bridges when my car fell. I thought OH SHIT I"M DEAD! I then landed somewhat safely onto a bridge a few hundred feet below it. I saw my friend continue on. Somehow i knew he was going to try to fight the leader of the invading worm type things. I continue along my path. I find a Ghost from halo and a ghost type thing that shoots wraith shots.(can't remember the name of those). I fight an enemy that comes up and beat him easily enough. I settle down on a couch nearby and just think damn this is too much.

      I then get a third person perspective on what went on with my friend. The enemy leader(who was talking in the worm earlier) was looking the other way talking to some grunt looking person. My friend comes up and pushes him off a 15 foot ledge the guy was standing on. My friend then hurries down to hopefully finish the job. The enemy leader instantly looks up upon hitting, gets fireballs in his hands and shoots them at my friend. He doesn't die, but is knocked unconscious. The leader then says,"He'll make an excellent Elementalist.

      That might be the longest dream i've ever had. Anyway, looooong dream. I didn't put a few things in their as they weren't relevant to the story of it, and weren't interesting anyways. Stupid things DC can do is what i mean.

    5. Going back to Vegas

      by , 01-14-2011 at 12:27 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      Oneironaut let me borrow this Uma Thurman movie. He had two of them, and I wanted them both, but he told me it was a one or the other type thing due to how different the two movies were. Anyways, I ended up watching/being in the movie itself. Uma and I were on a dusty highway heading west, and the perspective kept changing from first to third person. Either way, the whole thing was about this crazy car chase. I wasn't doing too much except being the guy who's like "oh my god, how do you know all of this stuff?", and she was taking out most of the bad guys. Once we got switch seats, and I took over the driving for a bit, and I remember she went outside of the vehicle and took some people out.

      That's about when she left, and I found myself in Vegas on Halloween. There were a lot of kids out on the strip dressed up as different characters, and I was trying my hardest not to run any of them over. I arrived at this hotel where D, J, and O was at. Apparently they got there the day before, and I was meeting up with them. We were in a restaurant on the first floor, and sitting in some private section. O knew a bunch of the staff there because he had worked the before. He was introducing me to a few of them, and they asked me about some dance competition I was in. They all told me I should have won, but they couldn't vote for me because they worked there. I told them not to worry about it, and I thought that was going to be the outcome either way.

      I tried to tell O about this dream I had during that same night, but he wasn't paying attention to me. He was sort of buried in his laptop looking at DV chat. D, and J told me that I had to sign in, and we went to the lobby. There were theses booths where you could check in, and instead of giving us a total, they gave us receipts of how much we saved. D and J saved about 300 bucks, and I saved 200. D told me I didn't save as much cause I was here for only one day.

      We left the lobby and hopped in this party bus with a dance floor on it. I was wondering how much money I had left, and when I opened my wallet, a five flew out. I went to pick it up, and saw a twenty lying next to a guy. When I headed over there, the guy acted like it was his. I picked it up and gave it to him. There was an old man in the middle of the bus dancing to whatever song that was playing, and when it finished, he got his song to play the SAME song again. There was an mp3 player on the wall that he used. The song wasn't bad, but whatever.

    7. Amazing first time LD!!!

      by , 01-14-2011 at 05:51 AM
      Wow, its like being awoken by Morpheus in the Matrix. Like experiencing reality for the first time! Let me begin...

      Part 1: The Realization

      I was in my own bedroom when my dream consciousness began. I stood there looking out my window next to my best friend. I asked him if he heard the airplane flying over. He didn't respond so I turned around to see where he was. I found myself in front of my mirror, and THATS WHEN IT HIT ME! I was dreaming! But I didn't panic, and I didn't fret. He looked at me and I even said it out loud "we're dreaming". And to prove it to him and myself I ran at my mirror and dove, and I started hovering right then and there like a parachuter.

      NEXT is the exciting part!

      Part 2: Something Un-earthly

      I went back to my window (2 windows side by side actually, about 6 foot tall and 4 foot wide). I opened the shutters and looked at the moon (it was daytime mind you). I said to my friend, "this doesnt look right". Thats when the moon became the earth, and where we were became an alien planet. We stood there still in my room, but overlooking a alien ocean, which was very very blue unlike any earth shade of blue. I was so excited, being that I've absolutely in love with space and its possibilities. I stood there admiring earth when the earth changed to an earth like planet, and our planet its neighboring planet. It was like the universe was showing me an actual place that exists somewhere in the cosmos. It was showing me an earth like planet, and I was the first to see it. I actually ended up bringing in a celebrity singer and fooling around with her next, but I'll leave that out. haha

      Part 3: Losing control

      I didn't start losing control until my parents came in to the dream and starting yelling at me about the girl I had in my room.

      But overall, a very successful first time! Can't wait to go back there..

      The dream didn't feel more real, but it felt like more of the truth. Our existence in this reality makes less sense to me than that in a dream world where we have total control. I want back in!

    8. Who's side am I on?

      by , 01-14-2011 at 04:57 AM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      Method: WILD
      Recall: average
      Lucid Ability:4
      Vividness: Average
      Dream Length:Average

      Nice easy transition, but everything was black in my room. I wasn't sure about the stabilization, and I didn't care at this point because I was able to move pretty good. I headed out of the room, and into the living room and tried to summon my DG. I told myself that she'd be knocking on the door any second, and waited. Nothing happened. I told myself that same thing again....nothing. I used x-ray vision to see through the door and see if she was on the other side, while visualizing her. Nothing.

      I headed outside with no other goals in mind. It was still really dark outside, but the dream was put together by now, and it was just night time. I took off into the air, flying at a high rate of speed, looking for anything. I flew off east, but I ended up at my uncles house to the west of me. I landed and started exploring a bit, and I noticed Mickey was there.


      He was armed with a kingdom key, didn't speak a word, and had it out for me. I was dodging the little guys attacks for a while, and eventually pulled out a light saber, and continued defending from the assault. He seemed more like an evil version of his original self, but maybe I was just the bad guy. I remember jumping backwards, and he stopped for a breath, which in turn gave me a chance to pull out a kingdom key of my own (an old goal of mine). Nothing was special about it other than the fact I was wielding it on only one hand. The light saber eventually became sort of an off handed light dagger before fading completely


      I made short work of Mickey once I got on the offensive, and continued exploring. Out of no where, the entire cast of the view showed up, and started nagging me. One of the ladies kept hitting on me, and everything was just annoying after that.

    9. The Under-Dream

      by , 01-14-2011 at 02:19 AM
      A

      Not enough sleep tonight but a strange dream that felt like 2 dreams in one happening simultaneously.

      On the top-level dream I was seeing the, exceptionally brightly lit, inside of a department store. The sales people were moving things around then I saw a group painting square pillars with all kinds of colorful designs. They were all happy and smiling.

      Then there felt like an under-dream to this (there was no visual just feelings or knowledge of it going on) where beings (they didn’t feel alien but maybe people I could not see) where taking out parts of my nonphysical self (in the torso region) and adding parts but they all had to go together flawlessly, so that when I woke they would all function harmoniously. This reconstruction in me seemed to be so that I can be a better functioning person and be able to do more of the things I want to do in life.

      The whole experience lasted less than 5 minutes.

    10. Defending Akashic Records

      by , 01-14-2011 at 12:59 AM (Dreamjumper)


      A beautiful woman lies naked on an ornate bed sprawled amongst numerous tall stacks of ancient books. I stand shirtless a few feet from the bed and place a few choice books on my shelf. Instead of having sex with the woman I turn away and collect the rest of the books on the bed so that I can return them to the library. Once I arrive at the library I see that it resembles the Akashic Records, which I’ve visited before. The entrance to the Records is spectacular, framed by epic pillars.



      I head inside and replace the books and knowledge that I have borrowed and assimilated. I browse the aisles for a bit and stumble upon a specific dream character jerk that causes trouble within the library, and starts shit with random visitors like a bully. I walk by him and ignore him, but he steps in my path and scowls at me.

      He tells me to never get in his face. Wanting nothing more than to put him in his place I step up to him and jab my finger at him and “get in his face.” This angers the jerk and we proceed to battle, first hand to hand grappling before it escalates into an epic old school sword fight. We slice and duel amongst the many rows of books throughout the library until I finally defeat him.

      As I stand to walk away triumphantly, I realize that I have also been mortally wounded from the battle. I stumble over to the dying jerk I defeated in battle and say “See you in another life, yeah?” I shuffle back to the naked woman in bed, lie next to her, and wake up.
    11. School, and Lucid Church.

      by , 01-13-2011 at 07:56 PM
      So, this one is a really lengthy dream, although I recall very little of the actual length. It is a recurring dream, since I dreamed of the beginning of the story yesterday, and it continued today. And the finale is probably from another dream, or they were altogether a massive giant dream, who knows.

      I first remember being in a mall with my friends, we were chatting and laughing, at what I did not know what. The next thing I can remember is some sort of lady, dressed in a business-like way, appearing out of nowhere, and the mall starts to turn into a school. One frickin' huge school.
      Something happens, class begins, and me and all my friends are now being taught by a very ill-mannered teacher, hm.
      This goes on for days, and I don't remember much of the classes we were taking, I think I just chatted with my friends the whole time. That may or may not be true.
      One day, going to school, I get lost. This is the time I realize how huge the building was, as I was running for more than 10 minutes around, trying to find my way back to the classroom. As I opened one door, I stepped inside what appeared to be a train station, much like London's train station. Plus, there was a bus moving in the middle of the crowd.

      Again, everything gets fuzzy in my memory, and that's when I think I moved to another dream. Or maybe I took another direction in the one I was in.
      I was running down some sort of park, full of trees, trying to find something, at the time I was not sure. After much exploring ( The park, I remember now, was a darker version of my town's central park. Much darker, indeed.)
      And when I reached the end of the park, I saw what I was looking for. A Small crypt in the left side of the park. Pleased that I'd finally found it, I start to walk in it's direction, the only thought inside my head being "But I've looked here before, how can it be here now?". Reaching the crypt, I see a flair of steps leading downwards, to the very core of the crypt. Next to me, some sort of priest was waiting, his skin was so pale that he looked like a corpse. His face was not well-cared either. He moves his arm towards the steps, as if to tell me to go down there. And that's what I do. Reaching the end of the stairs, what greets me is not some macabre skeleton show like I was hoping it would be, but, guess what, another classroom. With stone chairs. Don't try to make sense out of it, I didn't. The priest walks to the very end of the room, and starts lecturing us in the ways of Lucid Dreaming. Or that's what he said he'd do, but instead he starts to ask random questions, the last one being about mathematics.
      That's all I remember, but I'm sure that it lasted through hours, days. Maybe weeks, even.
    12. Too weird

      by , 01-13-2011 at 06:58 PM
      These dreams threw me off massively. My boyfriend left me sleeping in his apartment for the first time. He told me he'd lock the doors so I didn't have to worry about anything. So of course I went back to sleep seeming as it was 7 am.

      The first dream it did not seem like a dream at all. I heard our bedroom door open, slowly like in one of those horror movies. However I could barely open my eyes, I had to literally force them open to watch the door slide open. Some where in my dreaming mind I couldn't help but wonder if we'd gotten a cat... My eyes went to the floor and nothing was there, then I realized that either way I cat wouldn't be able to open a closed door. The door just kept creeping open slowly till it hit the wall. I can't remember what I was thinking, just that my heart was pounding and I could hear it out loud.

      Then I woke up, at least this time I really thought I was awake. The door to the bedroom was still closed, I got up easily thinking I'd go check the doors to make sure they were locked this time. I was walking up the stairs to the main door and I realized that it was still dark outside, but in my head I thought that my boyfriend left when the sun was starting to come up. Then I looked at the door and realized none of the locks were on. I walked up to it taking the ear plugs out of my ear, which in reality I would have done before getting out of bed, I opened the door and my boyfriends car was still there. I remember dropping my ear plug by the door and calling into the house for him. But he didn't answer. So I put my boots on, I was only in a tank top and some boy short panties, and went out to look in his car, but he wasn't there. So I went back inside and left the doors unlocked and got back in bed under the sheets crying.

      THEN, I finally woke up to a text from him at 9 am telling me he'd locked the doors and he'd left a spare key for me by the bed. K, I realized after texting him that I had a horrible dream, that my ear plug was missing. I figured it was somewhere in my bed, so I got up to turn on the kettle, and went up to the door to make sure it really was locked like he'd told me it was, it wasn't and my ear plug was by the front door and my boots were wet from snow. So I opened the door and saw my foot prints barely covered by the fact that it was snowing leading to where the car so obviously wasn't. Yep, scary stuff.
    13. The Nightmares of the Odd

      by , 01-13-2011 at 06:28 PM (Lynn's Lucids)
      Where do I start?
      Lucid? Hmmm, it wasn't good. There was something you took to help you adventure and fly around the world. I took it. Mom tried to talk me into it so she could do drugs behind my back. I saw what others had to say about it. Scary witchy stuff. I took it, flew. I saw how late it was on the digital clock. I then watched a movie (apparently it turned real in the dream), about sharks and fish stuff. In the movie, evil was taking over the world. Side note: This movie I watched, because it was apparently a very, very popular one like Forest Gump, etc. Then, a guy with a skull-like mask came out. I knew I had the witchy powers to make me do anything, and this skull guy was evil with blood on him. So, I used my witchy power stuff so I used my powers to make everything good again. I flew over the sea. i went and Mom told me I was screaming and woke me up. FAKE! I woke up in the dream, not real life. I had way more than one sleep paralysis event though. I tried to wake up, once I knew I was dreaming, and I woke up and could not move. My heart made like a weird vibrating thing. I couldn't stop it, I put a bible under my pillow. BIG help! Also, in the dream there was a candle that I put a sticker on it. It ripped as I tore it off. It was Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Then, with my witchy powers I flew into the room (my grandma's) and looked for spells. o.O I then woke up. I told myself I'd know I was dreaming if I see the same stuff again. I fell asleep, again. I knew I was dreaming, but I also knew I was in a nightmare. So, I screamed really loudly as I saw this guy with black hair trying to help me with my powers. (How is that even scary??) I entered sleep paralysis again. Of course! I screamed really loud as I knew I was awake and saw myself fly over the sea once more. Mom woke me up, she heard me scream. I told her this. ^
      Nightmare II
      This was, pretty cool actually. Stephanie, Lulu, and I were in a machine thing at my step-dad's house. Next door is a preacher lady (crazy) named Kathy. She is nuts!! When we were in the robot machine, we saw people fly out of the house, and me and Stephanie laughed. Another one went flying off the top of the house and landed straight to the ground. They were dying, but we didn't care as we continued laughing. I got the window seat, and it was entertaining. "What are they doing, why?" I thought. "Wanna switch?" I questioned Stephanie as she said yes. She switches seats, looked and we switched back. Then, there was like an explosion, killing almost all of mankind. The world was nearly empty. I moved from the spot I already was b/c the explosion moved me, I was unharmed, though. I got up, remembering people I saw lived. I went by Tony's street. 50 Cent was there mowing the lawn. He said I was brave for going to that house. I went through a forest-like thing and saw a few people. Then, I went to explore Mrs. Kathy's house. I wanted to see what killed them. I found a phone and called 911, but it was so screwed up, when I dialed it, it said E 4. It was busted -___- I crawled up the cave in their house, that leaded to the parachute thing that shot people there. I saw skulls. They looked like toys. I picked one up and observed it. I looked for a made in China sign on it, but no luck. (I am TERRIFIED of skulls, and since they represented real ones I'm surprised I did not scream.) When I picked them up, much like this dream they were very, very vivid. Once I made it to the top, I saw where people were falling from. I was about to go through it, but I didn't feel like dying. Note: When I climbed near the cave on the ground, a news reporter in the backround from an unknown source said: "People have been tricking locals into coming in their house for a parachute ride. Many people killed, almost no human life left. If you know ANYONE still out there, you must find them NOW!" I was brave in this.
      Side Note: I was wearing a purple Monster High shirt, and I found huge, plastic purple earrings on the floor in the witchy dream. They are purple skulls with bows on them. I put them on and Stephanie said they were cute. Also, I had a dream where I was in a yellow shirt, and a certian thing got bigger. Strange.
    14. Nightmare: Destination Hell

      by , 01-13-2011 at 05:15 PM (NBF's DJ)
      I'm at a revival-meeting-type gathering and it's unclear whether they're Christians, Wiccans, or a melange of both. It's about to be my turn to get up onstage to be "read". I get a choice of lotto-game-type cards to choose from and I choose the purple one. The woman holding the meeting looks at it and says, "Forget it. You're lost. You're headed for destruction and there's no way to save you." I assume she's about to heal me from this horrible destiny, so I get up onto the podium, and then she trips and falls. She looks back and blames me as if I've made it happen. She orders me off the stage. There is also someone calling out that I use cards, which they call by some kind of T-word like "trock" (can't remember), and I say, "You mean tarot?" Everybody in the congregation gasps and looks at me as though I were the devil himself. They start to stare at me with hate in their eyes that forces me off the stage.

      It's clear that I'm going to get no healing here, so I wander around the audience looking for someone who might help me. I run into an old psychology colleague who used to be a baseball coach and who is a no-nonsense wise man. He tells me this is all b------t and that they're using me to try to sell psychic readings. They know I'll see through their tactics, so they're marginalizing me to their public to try to make an example of me. I run across an acolyte, a heavy and sweet-faced woman in her 30s or 40s, with a braid of long hair down to her waist. She smiles at me and says she'll help me, but then when she walks past, her hair is jerked back as if I'd pulled it, and she falls. She blames me and everybody sees it.

      I leave, convinced I'm doomed, and I come across a table full of lotto-type tickets where you pull a paper out of a paper sleeve, like in a children's book where you pull a tab and the horse's tail wags. I pick purple again as my favourite colour, and it says, "You may as well forget it. You're lost. You know how a condemned man's last meal is whatever he wants? Go do whatever you want. Have a blast for your last couple months of life on Earth." It goes on to say that some of the signs of the end days are that fruit will turn to dust. Every fruit I find turns to dust in my hands. Frantically, I start picking other colours. Pink says I may have some hope, but if I've picked purple already I'm hopelessly lost. Green finally says I have some hope - it's a deep forest green. I know bystanders are looking at me as if I'm nuts.

      I wake up with a headache. It takes me a few minutes to convince myself it was only a dream.

      But was it?

      I had asked God and my guardian angel, and any other angels who wanted to help me, to be with me in my dreams. Is this their message to me??

      If anyone has a possible alternative answer and cares to comment on this, please do. I will say that I've been going through a Major Depressive Episode (partly related to Cymbalta withdrawal) after a very difficult Christmas with my family, and I posted last night on another forum about how angry I was over past abusive treatment. I've always felt terrified of being angry with my parents or sisters, and last night I wrote out how angry I was and faced the possibility of being cut off from them in my mind. I actually did write in the post that I "might not even go to hell for this". Briefly, I got physically roughed up on Christmas Day by one of my sisters while I was in the middle of a near-catatonic depressive episode, and a lot of past abuse issues have been coming up for me. It's always felt very dangerous to let it make me angry, because I'd lose my family, be cut off, and possibly go to hell for disobeying the honour-thy-parents commandment. I'd certainly be cut off in life, suddenly without a family - even a sometimes abusive family being a safer feeling than none at all. Hate your famliy, and you're alone in an uncaring world.

      But it does bother me that I made a specific request (and had made that request repeatedly) to God and the angels to be with me during my dreams, and not only are they still nightmares, but I've now had one essentially saying that I'm a lost cause and they're going to throw me into Hell. What?!?!

    15. Another MILD! Woohoo!!

      by , 01-13-2011 at 04:14 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I MILDed again!

      I just used my mantra of "I will become lucid" and also said "I will reality check" a couple of times. Yay! I'm glad I found a method that works. Thanks, Matte!

      I was at my house. Some mini leprechaun guy, I think it was supposed to be a guy I know in waking life named Jonni, killed my friend/coworker Virginia in her sleep at her apartment. He was very smart, so there's no way she or anyone could elude him, even if the attack was known about in advance. I was terrified this would happen to me, and my parents were at a movie. I was home alone, and it was getting late. I tried to call my mom and she said they'd be home soon. I fell asleep and woke up quite a few times, each time with a wave of terror upon waking. I called my mom a few more times. I fell asleep and woke up again, and my mom was home, working in her office. It was midnight. I went over to her and told her how scared I was. She seemed annoyed and told me she could just give me a Xanax and lay there with me until I fell asleep, but she truthfully hated doing that for my dad. She said if I didn't fall asleep, she wouldn't do it. I got excited and told her I promised I'd fall asleep. I thought to myself even if I didn't fall asleep, I could pretend so she wouldn't leave.

      ~

      I had another dream, but I swore I'd remember it and didn't write it down. Guess what? I forgot it. I fell asleep and woke up again, and decided to MILD. I did my mantras until I fell asleep.

      ~

      I was in an episode of Family Guy. The story was about how one of the characters met his wife. It wasn't a very funny episode though. We were on a bus going to basic training for the military. I was sitting with a younger version of Peter. He pulled out a bag of pot mixed with cocaine, and said we could just do the coke off our fingers. I really didn't want to do that. He had just pulled it out, opened it, and stared at it for awhile.

      We got to basic training. It was nighttime outside. We walked through the grass to a screened-in shed that had many seats in front of a stage-type thing with a podium on it for a speaker. We were supposed to listen to someone talk, but they weren't there yet. I smoked a cigarette with Peter. We saw the girl that one of the characters was supposed to meet. She was a cartoon with long, brown, wavy hair and she was dressed all in blue. She smiled flirtatiously as she flipped her hair. Peter's voice came on in the background to say something like "And there she was.".

      The speaker finally came, a big black woman, and we all sat in the chairs. We listened to her talk, and she told us that we had to get up at 5 A.M. every day because one of the people in charge had to get up that early. I thought that was a little ridiculous, but it was the military, so I didn't argue. We were dismissed. I took Peter's hand and he offered me a cigarette. I took one, and he lit mine off of his. We walked past this little area where there were big rocks surrounding a tree in a semi circle. Morrie from Tuesdays With Morrie was there, all cartoonified. Him and Peter made some sort of joke, and we kept walking. We went into another little screened-in shed. There was a big banner lying on a table to welcome us. A big rainbow appeared on the banner. I thought it was very sarcastic sounding, since it was welcoming us to the military.


      Wait what? Rainbows don't just appear on banners. I was dreaming! I knew the dream was almost over, but I examined my hands anyway to induce clarity. Things kept fading, but I finally stabilized them a bit. I did an RC. There was a chalkboard/marker board in the room. It had an orange spiral drawn on it with text inside of it. There were little stick people drawn off to the side. I glanced away and looked back. The text had changed, and the spiral was smaller. I floated up through the ceiling and ended up inside my family's bonus room. I could feel that I was going to wake up any minute, so I quickly thought of something I could do in a short amount of time. I decided to fly through space, if only for a minute. I took off through the ceiling and I was in space! It was beautiful. There were purpleish-blue stars everywhere, and I saw an orange galaxy off in the distance. It was amazing. It only lasted a few seconds though, before it started to fade to black.
