Mars-Base ... Space Soap Opera? ... Nuke the MOON (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Right, so, this dream is long and crazy. I'll piece it together as best I can. The first part involved some unnamed guy having developed, or discovered, a teleporter to and from Mars. It worked very cheaply and harmlessly. This guy and a bunch of his friends are going to and from Mars trying to set up an infrastructure and base there. I tag along at some point to see how it's going, and it looks very much like a town on Earth (with a vaguely Western-movie-style decor, might I add). They already have buildings up, nobody seems to need spacesuits, and they have electricity and computers, and cellphones. And they somehow have a wireless network up for those. That one still confuses me... At some point during all of this, I talk with one of them and they're almost giddy. "The best part of this is," he said, "NASA doesn't know about this yet. Wait till you see the looks on their faces!" Also at some point, they were discussing trying to get some grass planted, and I mused aloud whether it would be cooler to have a lush yard on Mars, or to have that alien-looking red dirt in front of your house. Towards the end, I was telling my friends lightheartedly that they were great and all, but if I could sleep on Mars tonight, I WOULD.

This second part is fuzzy, and I think I'm only an observer. I see short bits of a lot of people's daily lives, nothing too exciting going on. I assume this is on the same Mars-base, but I'm not sure. Somewhere in the middle of all this, there's a military guy that has that "only the audience can hear you" power. He motions to the guy next to him and rattles off a name and designation that I can't remember. Then he says something like, "He seems pretty normal, right? Well, one time I went out with him, and...." He fades out as I see more people going about their daily lives. This was pretty short and disjointed, but I swear it sounds like an ad for a soap opera, looking back.

Finally, at the end, I'm telling my little brother Jared about how you might get some oxygen on the moon... only I use the WORST possible option imaginable! My faulty logic went something like, "Well, if you set off a nuke somewhere on the moon, with all those elements colliding and bouncing around you're bound to get SOME oxygen out of it! Then you just need to place a roof over it..." Yeah, completely worth the total destruction, right? I confuse myself sometimes... anyways, that's all I can remember.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hey all, I barely had any dreams last night, which sucks. I do remember chopping up some onions... So here comes an old LD I had a few months back, it was one of the first LDs I had in which I didn't wake up immediately.

LD: I'm taking a shower at work, and I don't have any shampoo. I take some from a bottle next to me and do my thing. When I'm finished showering, some guy walks up to me and starts asking me about my education. "What are you studying?" he asks and points at my books. I tell him about it and he walks away. The dream changes and becomes totally random, suddenly I'm having a fight with The DEVIL! I somehow manage to trap him in a pile of coins, and hide them under a bed. I then take a newspaper and put it on top.



"You do realise I will break free as soon as someone remove these coins? He asks in his Devil-voice.

I start thinking about encasing them in concrete and walk outside. I follow a road which leads to an intersection and I time it so that the cars don't hit me. I realise I'm dreaming, and decide to try to jump. I go like ten meters up in the air and land hard on the side of the road, on a small hill overlooking the town. I feel extatic and jump up in the air again. I fly down to the gas station in a few seconds and starts circling it. A few seconds later I'm down on the ground and the dream changes somehow again. Suddenly I'm ontop of the hill again, only this time, a road leads down to a dock filled with dumpsters. "Maybe I should try skateboarding?" I try to summon a skateboard while running but it just won't work! I close my eyes and try again and when I open them, I'm on a skateboard, heading for a big jump. I do the jump and fly several feet up in the air, and do like four spins before I land it. I head for the lake, which is now frozen for some reason, and come to a river. I'm not on a skateboard anymore, but on a surfboard and it's like I'm being dragged by an invisible line. The river changes to a lush jungle with bright yellow bananas on the sides. I can really feel the heat of the sun, and the colours are incredible.



The dream changes but I still manage to keep my lucidity. This time I'm on a cruise ship, and I'm having an argument with myself. In the corner of my eye I see a room filled with porn. "Oh that's right! I gotta try to summon a girl" I start to read a magazine and I can see that they've actually taken those pictures right where I'm standing. The dream starts to fade and I don't get laid.

That's it folks! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. It was sweet.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

OKAY, well...
I am running how I normally run in dreams - with great difficulty, huge long strides - down the road at night not far from where I live. I'm in the left lane, which is the one closest to the footpath/sidewalk in Australia.

I just pass through an intersection when I hear a car behind me. I run onto the footpath, but the car swerves as if I'm still on the road. It goes onto the footpath in front of me, and crashes into a pole. "Oh no!" I look over and see cars stopped at the traffic lights. I run over and ask one for their phone. My year 3 teacher gives me hers. I look up and see all the emergency vehicles around. I run back over...
But in the middle of the road, the old lady who crashed says "Here he is; the boy who was running on the road!!"
I think to myself Why was I running on the road, if I wasn't supposed to?
I'm dreaming
Immediately all the people froze. Okay, I can't panic or I'll wake up. What am I supposed to do? Stimulate my senses!
I stare at the road, which gets really detailed, but it's not enough. I decide to clap three times, but as I do, I can hear it echoing around my bedroom. I thought Oh, it's too late. I'm going to wake up. Everything goes grey.
I see the word ALLUSION for a second.
I wake up.

After about 30 minutes I realised Wait a second, I have a cast on, I can't clap! The claps really were in my dream, dammit >

Non-dream Dream semi-lucid

ok so i almost forgot about this one, then i went. "Holy hell how COULD you forget this." I think the dream was semi-lucid, because i remember thinking "ohh wow i haven't seen them since high school, i miss them." and i also remember thinking about my actions but I didn't really didn't have total control of myself.

I was walking down the Main road of my home town. I was just outside of then Between the cemetery, and the "Atlas Purina feed Store." when My mother and an hold High School friend Laura showed up. I remember thinking suddenly "Wow Laura! i miss you and your amusing political rantings." They told me I'd be in a figure skating competition. I WISH i could figure skate! that was one of my dreams when i was little, but I ripped the ligament in my right knee. I can even run any more, and i even have a light limp when i walk. I got a little excited since i love figure skating. We ducked into the Atlas feed store, and I took a deep breath. I remember there was no smell. The real Atlas Purina store smelled like Leather, dust, horse feed, and grass seed all mixed into one dreamy aroma. I grabbed my mp3 player out of nowhere, and put it on. I couldn't hear the music, but i know what i wanted to perform. I got dressed, in a white jump suit, with flare/bell bottom legs, and a vest. We then apparently skipped transit and showed up at the competition as if it was an Open Horse Show. Laura was just like "Oi! she's entering btw. K thanks let us know when it's our turn." I looked around, and saw some of the other girls, and the crowed. No one had a face worth remembering, but the commentator on a holographic TV screen. It was my figure skating friend from High School, Connie. I remember relaxing a bit, and looking around at the rink, but it wasn't a rink is was a damn obstetrical course. The rink was in a I shape with two rectangles attached through the center by another rectangle. there was also a couple rust run down trucks in the center that had to be jumped over. I remember thinking "this is figure skating Not Extreme Trail crossed with Cross country!" Laura told me i was next, and took a deep breath. I don't remember putting on skates, but i have them on now. The girl before me finished, and i stood in front of the rink waiting for my music, and then it started. "Jealous of my Boogie by RuPaul" I smiled to my self straightened up, and began to walk! I hit the ice just as the lyrics started, and i began thinking of my routine and as i thought it up, i performed it. Some of the more difficult things were fumbles or even misinterpreted by my body, but I was telling myself what to do. I jumped one car, dropped it like it was hot, while spinning on one leg, and bounded into the air over the second car. It was amazing! and so much fun, but a lot of my moves were on my left leg, or fumbled back i was worried about really fucking up my knee. I finished, and i got some applause as i left the rink. I then met Lynn, and her daughter Kenny. Some dressage folks from the barn i used to work for. They were very smug, and ignored me. I really didn't expect them to be nice so i don't know why i even said hello. My mother was gone, but Laura was there, and she told me I'd done a good job, and we just had to wait for scores. I got a 9.0066 and came in 3rd place! I got a horse book, and a nice big pink ribbon. Lynn and Kenny were very angry at my placing, and don't know why. They didn't even perform, but they didn't matter any way so I made them disappear. They just went poof.

I woke up shortly after that, and I remember smiling. That dream was so fun! I didn't ever truly have control over my self, but what ever i seemed to be thinking in my head would happen to a degree. Like my Performance, and Lynn and Kenny Going 'Poof'.

[edit] the music in my dream sounded as if my head phones were on! i could seriously hear the entire song as I performed my routine.[/edit]

I was in a graveyard. It was daytime, and in the graveyard were remnants of the Pantheon. I had to knock over the pillars. When they came crumbling down, I discovered that they were hollow! Inside of the hollow pillars I found a small wooden artifact, in the shape of a cube. It was made of soft light wood, and on the top there was a painted picture of a purple flower. I opened the artifact, which looked like a very simple cube shaped jewelry box. Inside there were 6 rings.

Next thing I know, I am being chased by the authorities. They want their artifact back. I am running with Zboy, and the cops are cornering us in the graveyard. I had a legitimate reason not to give it back to them.

Seconds before the cops take a swing at us, out of thin air comes a girl with flowing long blonde hair on a trendy red motorcycle. She is flying downwards and her front tire hits the top of cop's helmet and he is knocked unconscious. She continues in the air before dissolving. Before she is completely vanished, she drops Zboy a pair of black binoculars.

"She's a time traveler...Like me." Zboy says.

"I didn't know you were a time traveler."

"I am. Using these binoculars, we can also see who are time travelers."

Later, we go to eat lunch at a crowded restaurant. It is similar in style to a cafeteria. We sat at a large, circular table with a few other girls sitting across from us. One of them in particular had brown hair full of tangles. I didn't pay much attention to her, but I could still tell that she was mean-spirited. She had black eyes. This part of the dream was extremely vivid. Her eyes were not 100% black, but had a bit of reflective gray in them. It was certainly not her iris though.

I didn't pay much attention to her, however. Zboy was looking through his binoculars while he waited for me to finish eating. I looked over at him for a minute and saw that he had gone pale in the face.

"What's wrong?" He handed me the binoculars and told me to look at the creepy girl in front of me. I brought the binoculars to my eyes. Suddenly, the girl went from mildly creepy to beyond-flash-horror DISTURBING. One of her eyes was slanted extremely upwards, while the other downwards. Suddenly, I could FEEL the evil reeking off of her. It was revolting. Words cannot describe how long and vividly that image was burned into my head after I woke up.

She realized that we were looking at her, and got up from the table. She went to the bar, and when one of the bartenders refused to give her a drink, she controlled their minds to do so. Using her mind she was able to manipulate others around her. Zboy and I decided that she was a malevolent telepath.

We ate dinner at a different restaurant, and devoured pizza. My friends were joking about how I was getting it all over my face. My mom woke me up and asked if I wanted pizza for breakfast.

That's the 2nd time I've dreamed of those freaky people with the black eyes. Both times they have been very...condescending/destructive.

This is one of my

Notes:
Every once in a while, I experience dreams that create intense deja vu sensations, which is pretty intriguing to me. This dream is an example of that.

I had just walked into a public restroom. It was the kind you'd find at a McDonald's restaurant or a gas station; the cubicles were light, pale blue, and the sinks were white. As for the lighting, it was a bit dimmer than one would normally see in a public restroom, but it wasn't too noticeable and certainly wasn't an issue. The room itself was shaped like a rectangle; the entrance was along one of the longer walls, over to the right. Right when you'd walk in, there were four or five stalls in the light blue color in front of you, a few feet back against the other long wall. To the left, walk down the stalls and past them; you'd get to the sinks. They looked normal.

I needed to go in a certain stall and get something I'd hidden there earlier. I entered the stall furthest to the right, against the corner of the room. For some reason, although I wasn't lucid, when I opened the door I expected a mirror to be on the back wall. The stall itself was fully closed, and there weren't any spaces underneath the dividers or door; finally, it was a bit narrower than a real cubicle but still spacious.

I closed the door, sliding over a basic metal lock that was fairly rusty, and turned around to face the mirror. I can't remember exactly what I looked like, but I do know I looked fairly normal: blue eyes, brown hair, normal clothing (I can't recall what I was wearing, either). My hair was a bit messy, with some flyaways and stuff, but that was the extent of it. I looked into the mirror for a few instances, drew back, and then smashed it with my fist. Since I've used invulnerability so much in my lucids, I think it carried over into my normal dreams, and this one was no exception. I felt no pain, and saw no blood as my hand practically blasted into the mirror and into the concrete wall. The mirror shattered into larger-sized pieces and fell as one whole object onto the toilet. Behind it was a section that was punched-in because of me, and there was a small hole inside that area. I pulled a tightly-folded square piece of yellow paper out.

The dream skipped and I was now in a mall-like setting: light-colored floor tiles, high ceilings, a few leather chairs in the aisle for people to sit down in. I was at the end of one wing of the mall, in a small Starbucks-like store right next to a major department store that was similar to Sears. It looked almost exactly like this (see the green sign on the left? That's where the store I was in was located).

The Starbucks had a few bar tables against the walls, and a coffee shop-like atmosphere. The cashier desk was not against the wall like in a normal cafe, but by itself in the middle of the shop. There was nothing else around it; everything else, including the chairs, was against the bar tables. I was with one other person, a guy who was a bit older than me, and we were crouched down behind this cashier's desk, peering out the sides to see if anyone was coming. I knew that there was a big crowd coming after us, trying to kill us.

I was also saying something extremely bizarre out loud. It wasn't just strange because I wasn't lucid, but also...

"I've had this dream before... I know exactly what to do this time".

I felt like I'd been in this dream before. I recognized the coffee shop, the mall, and the mob, and I also knew that another person would come and ruin my chances of escaping those people. I was expecting him to come, and I knew what to say this time so I wouldn't get caught. Last time, Jesse Pinkman (from the television series Breaking Bad) had come with a friend of his and asked where to hide the body of someone they killed. I'd told them to stash it in the car, which somehow caused the mob to find me and end the dream.

Jesse and his friend appeared. They were both wearing dark gray hoodies and jeans, and Jesse was carrying a garbage bag with what looked like a body inside it. "Hey," Jesse asked with an anxious expression, "what do I do with this thing?"

"Bury it," I said after a brief hesitation.

They walked off, leaving me and my accomplice (just a guess) still sitting behind the bar. "We don't have to worry about the group of people anymore," I told him. "I fixed the dream."

When I woke up, I realized I'd never dreamed of a scenario like that before, and the deja vu was generated entirely by the dream.

In this particular dream I found myself with my mother and she was showing me around the neighborhood, looking at a house for me to live in... One of these properties that was a potential BUYER was nothing more than a foundation with asphalt as the floor to the basement. One of the houses you had to get to by walking along the outskirts of a marsh, but the house was molded and dilapidated.

Then after all this I decided that it was time to go to nursing class... It was in some hotel conference room that was a bit small for a conference room. There was only 1 ACTUAL classmate that I recognized, and in reality I've never really talked to her at all.

So if that didn't get any weirder... instead of learning bout the human body we had a type of martial arts class and ended up sparing with wooden sticks. one of the classmates WHO I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE SHE CAME FROM was older and was blind.

I'm at a family members house, and there are people who I used to know well running around and basically trashing the place. They're all angry with me because I've decided I'm going to move to Hawaii. There were some smelly, gross people I didn't know and I grabbed them and threw them out of the house. They did not like this.

There was a girl, a dream character, who began yelling at me. She said that I wasn't going anywhere with my life and that I've never done anything real. She began putting makeup on her face and screaming. I stood there arguing with her about all the things I've accomplished in my life, telling her that I had done awesome things and that I was going to go places and do even more awesome things.

They got in their car and I got in mine.

The dream switched to me sitting in my old bedroom. There was nothing in the room except a bed, and two of my friends were sitting on it. They were drinking alcohol and kept offering it to me. I kept saying that I didn't want any, and they kept taunting me and teasing me. I said I wanted to make a pitcher of tea, and seconds later I was setting down a pitcher of tea. I turned around for a moment and when I turned back the girl sitting there said that she had put alcohol in the tea. "Don't worry," she said, "I diluted it with water so you won't taste it that much if you're worried." At this point I got really angry and yelled that they had tainted my tea. All I wanted was a cup of tea, and I had to drive soon to get to Hawaii.

Next thing I know, I'm driving down a long, bleak highway. Soon I'm going under overpasses and swooping stealthily in and out of traffic. There were large gaps that looked like exits, but then they would lead to nowhere or go upside down and curve along bridges so if you were to take them you would have to drive upside down. I didn't. I remember thinking to myself that if there weren't cars driving on this highway that it would be an excellent place for skateboarding.

I made it to Hawaii. I went to a cove that you had to swim through a large tunnel. I was scared to go in, it was dark and a long swim to the end where I could barely see light peeking out against the darkness. I swam across anyhow, and at the end there was a gigantic rotting yellow whale carcass. I knew that they smelled bad, because I'd encountered dead whales on the beach before. This one didn't smell bad but I plugged my nose anyhow, just in case the stench got to me.

I remember a glimpse of a map. It seemed to be computerized and zoomed far into different places on an island. I remember seeing Salvador Dali's name and thinking how I should go to his world, but then I didn't. (note: visiting there should be a lucid goal).

I remember watching a man swim far out into the ocean and find this woman... He traded bodies with her and was ecstatic to be a woman.

I think that's all.

I don't know what I did right last night but I woke up three separate times and each time I had a really lengthy dream recalled. Lengthy at least for me, that is. I hope this is a precursor to things to come. I would love to experience my first LD.

I come to in the back of some truck on some highway. We are speeding down it and I notice we are being chased by another truck. This one has a yellow cell in the bed of it and it says "jail" on it. A friend of mine with black hair (who I've never met) is driving. We race away in an awesome chase and manage to pull over and we both jump out and run.

Now we are in some sort of cafeteria and my friend looks depressed. I'm trying to explain to him that they chased us because we don't belong in this world and that it isn't the normal one. He keeps getting more and more mad even though I'm trying my hardest to be nice.

He finally eases up on me and we make some sort of amends and before I know it we are driving back on this highway. This time we aren't fast enough and we get caught by the people driving that yellow jail truck. Once caught I demand to know what we did and they tell us we are an abnormality and we don't belong here and it's their job to catch abnormalities.

So we are thrown into a weird yellow prison and locked there. I don't know how it happens but some woman comes and helps us break out. We steal the jailers truck and speed back off on the highway. We pass by one of the big jailers and he knows we aren't real jailers because of how fast we are driving. He says the speed is irregular. We pass a semi with him in pursuit and pass one that's laden with tires. As we pass it we slam into it causing it to unload it's tires on the people chasing us. The dream fades.

I'm in some sort of underground cavern. Again Pastor Li is there and he seems to be running everything. There are crowds of people there and a bunch of kids about my age. Lawrence is there and I go join him.

It looks like Pastor Li is hosting some sort of summer event where the kids all play games. This event has a bunch of kids partnered up in doubles and staring at a row of big statues with televisions on them. Each television has an album cover and a song and artist name.

The Pastor explains that the point of the game is for him to play a song and we have to guess who's it is. Whoever does it the fastest wins that point. The first song is clearly by The Who but we have trouble matching it up with the title. Literally as soon as it starts playing Lawrence mouths the artist name to me. I raise my hand to guess and I'm wrong. This goes on for a little while with each group guessing until finally I get another chance and I nail it. The next song is some sort of heavy metal song and I have no idea. My team guess all of the album covers with heavy looking fonts.

Eventually this part of the dream fades and now I'm separated and somehow upstairs in a different room in the cavern with different kids playing different games. I don't like it because I miss people that I know. So I leave and try to find my way back. On the way I stumble by a staff bathroom that has all of its info written in Spanish. I go in anyway and go to a very narrow stall. It has someone else's name on it and there's a man in the one next to me. I don't feel like getting on trouble so I leave and find my way back to Pastor Li and everyone else.

He is underwater with about 18 kids and they are playing some sort of game involving some sort of religious dance underwater. Julie walks up and notices this and says mockingly "Are they really doing a holy dance?" I turn back with anger in my eyes and say that they are and of it bugs her she can leave. Now she looks mad and asks me angrily why she would want to.

I watch for a little bit until Pastor Li notices me and invites me to play. The dream fades from there.

Pastor Li buys a Borders for 14 mil
--says he can make 14k a day with it

Lawrence and I want to buy the Borders
We drive over make an offer
-The place is under renovation since my Pastor had just purchased it. We walk up, through the doors, and see Li there overlooking the process.

Larry says he wants to offer
They act shocked and say just by virtue of owning it they've made 10000 bucks in a day.

We leave with a crowd of people down cement steps. It's sunny out. I make a zombie noise and everyone laughs and runs. I catch a ride with Lawrence but he doesn't wanna drive me cause he's nervous around me cause he's shy or something. I don't get it.

My nightmare

9/9/10

This dream was a nightmare.. never had I ever experienced a nightmare in this manner. I was unable to control my dream.. I felt weak but in my dream I knew I was in a dream. Trust me I wanted to control this dream but fuckk I failed... to save that man.

In my dream I am walking through a crowd..
Don't remember anyone because I don't know who these people were in my dream. There was this man walking funny and my attention turned toward him.
He was sweating .. just disgusting his clothes where unclean too. I thought to myself it was a drug addict.. an abuser of spirits. He starts coming towards me in my dream and I see that his skull was being dented in.. like the way cartoons show lumps when a different character hits them on the head?.. but his head was exploding and he had lots of lumps going around his skull and this man was screaming.
I panicked he was coming towards people near him ..damn it was a nightmare seeing something like that.
Don't remember what happened but someone had a star in their hand.. like a literal star from the sky.. all I could recall..
I woke up I was so scared.

I was in some sort of game, and I had become stuck in this very long corridor stretching off far into the distance, into the darkness. I was near the entrance to the corridor, from outside. The corridor had no ceiling, but other than that it was a large, rectangular stone corridor. The stone was worn, it looked like it had been there since the beginning of time.

Anyways, in order to teleport to some location to continue the game, I had to eat a number of corrupted peas. Let me explain... vines covered some parts of the corridor's interior, and pea pods grew on the vines... every once in a while (the distribution was random) you would find a peapod that was dull red, with short purple vine-ish protrusions coming out of the ends... these were corrupted peapods. Apparently dark energy had leached into them. The number of corrupted peas I had to eat was enormous, 120 I believe, and the corrupted pods were so infrequent that I lamented ever finding enough to consume 120... however, with a few minutes of exploration I discovered that the corrupted pods appeared with an ever-increasing frequency the further you went down the corridor. I should have turned back then, but my oblivious non-lucid self kept walking, leaving the entrance further and further behind... remember that the corridor was open air, so I wasn't walking into pitch-darkness, but I sort of was, because after a while suddenly there seemed to be a roof, and even though it wasn't pitch pitch black I still got the feeling that I was walking closer and closer to some source of darkness at the end (and I mean that both literally, as in dark, and figuratively, as in evil).

I trotted happily along, collected corrupted pods to absent-mindedly pick open and eat the corrupted peas while I walked... eventually I felt as if I was no more than 100 feet from the end of the tunnel. I saw a side chamber, and felt an evil presence approaching from the end of the corridor... instinctively, I ducked into the side-chamber. I watched in hushed silence as a being of darkness floated past the entrance to the side chamber where I was hiding... my memory is a bit blurry here, but it looked like some sort of humanoid form composed of white and black flames. When I saw it, I got the instant feeling that it was a "lost soul," an "empty soul," a "hollow soul." And I also know that it would kill me if I alerted it to my presence.

When it was sufficiently far away, I exited the side chamber (interestingly enough, I had found my IRL neighbor's cat in there, that was the only non-creepy part of this whole dream hehe)... anyways, I exited the side chamber and walked briskly down the corridor once again, determined by some sort of mad curiosity to reach the end and see what was there. I found a glass push-door. I pushed it open, went in, and found myself in a very ordinary building. The whole building was one large room, with couches and bookshelves and other furniture. It was very large, and had massive wall-windows that let in sunlight from outside. There was no one in it. I sat down, wondering about this turn of events, wondering if it was some sort of illusion. It was all o innocuous.

Then I saw Y (IRL friends will be referred to by the first letter of their first name) with a bunch of her friends, J, and a bunch of other people I recognized, all walking down the corridor. They were talking and looked as if they had all been going down the corridor exploring together (I saw them approaching through the glass door from inside the building). I looked and saw that, at least to my eyes, they were all wearing black (I got a slight feeling that only I was seeing this, and in each other's eyes they were all wearing normal clothes). They opened the door and walked in as a group, and suddenly...

*An episode of missing time occurs here, it doesn't feel like the dream just skipped ahead though, it feels as if the missing time was an actual part of the dream and something happened in between and we were all made to forget what took place, like it was cut out of our memory)*

...suddenly we were all outside, in these gorgeous mountains that surrounded the building. Tables were placed everywhere outside, elegant wood dining tables, and they all had a lavish assortment of delicious food on them... the whole scene was backdropped by a magnificent mind-shattering sunset that was happening everywhere, in all the sky somehow, like the sun was at multiple points in the sky and was setting at many points in the horizon simultaneously. It was like a symphony of color.

Suddenly, I had a horrible epiphany.

I don't know where it came from, but suddenly everything fell into place and made sense.

I hurriedly clambered up to a table that my friend J was sitting at, with a blonde girl across from him. I sat at the table, ate some food, then leaned to him and told him what I thought "J," I said, "we're all going to be trapped forever here, eating this food in this sunset for all eternity."

It was all an illusion. I had had a sudden feeling, and I'm convinced that it was true, that in reality we were all lying unconscious in that building (which probably looked very different than the sunlit room which it had appeared like to me) with shadow creatures feeding off of us, feeding off of our energy.

The mountains, the tables, the delicious food, the table settings, the light, the sunset... it was all in our heads.

It was like the Matrix, but more horrifying somehow.

J turned to me, a worried look on his face as he began to comprehend what I had just said. He started to examine his surroundings, a look of horror creeping onto his face...

And then the dream ended (thankfully).

If it had lasted longer, I probably would have told everyone else there and then tried to find a way to escape from our mental prison and fight the creatures off (when we had returned to what was reality in the dream, rather than the fake sunset world, I mean), then leave the Corridor of Darkness and never return.

Dream Date: 9/9/10 (morning of)
I had woken up and gone back to bed several times.

I don't remember what I was dreaming directly before this, but I remember I was in a nightclub, and there were people all around me. I felt like I was about to black out, so I (presumably thinking I had drank too much in my dream) immediately went into "Don't black out!" mode. This seems to have woken me up consciously, so I became aware that I was sleeping. When I was partially awake, I could hear reggae music very vividly, and I thought I had fallen asleep with headphones on. I don't listen to reggae, and I didn't recognize the song, so I'm not sure where the music was coming from. I began to slip back into slumber, and was *immediately* torn from my body, to the far corner of the room, near the ceiling. It happened very quickly, but I was able to turn and "see" myself and my fiance. (I put "see" in quotes because it was still dark in the room so it was hard to see). It was really cool, but as soon as I was on the far side of the room, I had the feeling of "cool...sooo...now what?" .....and then it was over.

I was at my house, and D showed up and asked me if I wanted to go to my old elementary school and play pac-man. I started asking him details about if they had the arcade machine or an Atari. He tells me it's a brown Atari, and we get to make our own ice cream. I'm pretty excited about this, and he tells me we need baking soda and powdered sugar. (yeah....it gets weirder) I search though the cabinet and find the baking soda. The box is open, so I decide to check through it and see if it's still okay because we had a really old box. Fortunately it's a new box, but theres a rock inside of it. I grabbed it and I was going to rinse it with water because I wasn't sure if it was baking powder clumped together or otherwise.

Just before I turn on the sink water, water starts squirting out from the rock in small bursts like a squirt gun. I get D's attention and tell him about it, and then the rock finally cracks open on it's own. Several tiny lobsters crawl out on my fingers, and eventually without and provocation, start attacking my hand. I killed a few, and turned on the sink and rinsed the rest down the drain.

D (other friend) arrived with a small yacht, and we all boarded. All of the streets were made of water, and even the highways were made of water. It was as if all the roads had been transformed into rivers of all sizes, but everything else remained the same. All of the areas looked so familiar, like I've been there before.

On the yacht, I was telling D about the lobster incident with the baking soda, and I noticed there were ants crawling around. I was sitting on the opposite side of them so I didn't have much to worry about. I stood up and was asking when are we going to fish, and is this water even fish-able. It looked like it could have been, but I wasn't sure. I went to sit down in my original seat but someone had taken it, so I sat on the side with the ants. Of course, they tagged me a few times, and I moved out of the path they had. I turned around and tried to see where they were coming from, and saw some baby opossums curled up, and told D, "man you have to clean this boat up".

We continued down this highway, and I had a moment of Deja vu. I was talking about how I loved the scenery and I wouldn't mind going to this area more often, and then we came up to a junk yard area, and it had a check point. Thats when I realized everything wasn't so beautiful...but I had the feeling like I did that before. We continued on into the city, and I was still wondering if I could fish. I saw some guy fishing a few boats down, but he was hung up on a buoy. (Apparently they were used as traffic signals in this city) We continued on and reached a dead end.

I went inside this building and there was a movie playing. It was towards the final scene, where they reveal who was the real killer, and apparently some lady who was murdered by the killer was actually the killer. They showed the murder scene twice. The first scene involved two people (I'm assuming thats what played out at the beginning of the movie), and the scene that revealed how she did it involved one person. I think she had two types of blood on the scene, and a mask.

Some lady showed up with her kids and we all started having small talk. Her husband was over seas, and thats all I really could remember before I woke up.

I was riding in a small car with my very large friend, who decided to visit a gangster friend's parents. They don't open the door for people they don't know, I warned him. He thought he'd try anyways. Well, someone opened the door.

Inside the house was a newscaster. I'd never been in this house before (dreamsign?). The newscaster was a white man (the gangster family was samoan). The newscaster started throwing sex parties, and the people who came ended up working for him. One of the last people to ask him "for a job" was another newscaster from NBC. He accepted, of course, but before she actually engaged in any party activities she left, second thoughts apparently.

The only sex I remember was when this really cute black girl was in the bathtub with Mr. Newscaster. She was very impressed with his smooth rear entry and quite verbal about it. (Skipping details for the sake of the other members here.) The newscaster left, and the girl stood up in the bathtub to reveal that she had a penis! She began to pee down the drain. I asked her if she wanted to "play" and she rejected me. I was not happy about this.

Skipflash - we were on our way to the supermarket, me, the trans-girl, the newscaster, my girlfriend and my girlfriend's son. It was a PG rated ride. Went inside and the dream came to a soft stop in reality.

1. I'm taking a trip with my college friends into New York City. We ride the subway, then get off and start to negotiate taxi prices to get to our next destination. There are 15 of us, and the lady at the counter just kind of laughs when we ask if we could get a decent rate. At this I snap, and pull out a sniper rifle. I order everyone to the roof, and they obey fearfully.

Everyone lines up along the ledge of the roof, while I take a fortified position near the back. I start sniping, one after another, and feel great sorrow when I catch one of my friends with a bullet. Soon the police arrive, but without proper backup, and I snipe several of them. I then notice a stunning woman in a white dress swinging her legs out of a nearby window. I put my scope on her, but then notice she too has a rifle. She smiles at me and starts shooting at the crowd. Eventually the police get a machine gun emplacement set up and start to pepper my position, and the concrete blocks that shield me start to give way.

I awaken into my dorm room at college, where I get up and breathe on a mirror. I start writing the salient points of the dream in my breath as my friends are playing Mario Party in the background on the N64. It's hard to get the words to stay (failed RC), but I feel satisfied at some point. I then real awaken, angry...

2. I'm playing backgammon and discussing world issues with former president Bill Clinton.

3. I go to a concert in Columbus Ohio where Avenged Sevenfold is doing an experimental set and recording it directly to Youtube.
