I did it that way so all the images would be sure to be formatted how I meant them to. Thanks! Charles

I found myself in a huge convention center, it seemed. And to my surprise, the place sort of circled around a large domain where the space needle was being constructed, though it was black. I met this woman, and everyone presumed she had an attitude about her that made her cold, unapproachable, and seemingly ill-tempered. I chose to ignore these elements and sat down with her at a picnic table, still inside this convention center. This woman's disposition was an absolute amalgamation of several personas of multiple strippers.

I'm so stupidly foggy as to other dream aspects, but I was at one point conversing with my mother about something lifelike.

Additionally, my friend Matt was at my house, and he felt the need to watch television on our big screen downstairs. He gathered together a jumbled mess of extension cords, and sought the assistance of my father to garner a means to watch his program. When i met him at the foot of the stairs, I asked why he needed to do this, and he responded with "I didn't want you to give me that look of eyes five inches apart!"

WHO CARES WHAT PSYCHIATRISTS WRITE ON WALLS!

Created Sunday 29 April 2018

Got various things to note, though I've lost memory of several of these.

Scrap Group 1
Something about a highway drive.

Went to a fancy Chinese Buffet with my friend Vlad and brother Javy, the entrance priced agreeably at $6 per person. While going through the food counters, an attendant handed each of us a gigantic bucket of fried rice. I forgot it while serving myself other things, and only realized when I took my seat.

Dream 1 - Coincidental Return to My Old Job

The visuals were mostly clear. I was working again in my old job at the gas station. Coincidentally, Anthony, a former co-worker who'd left before I did, supposedly returned just a month prior. Spent quite a while catching up with ourselves, even if I'm embarrassed to admit certain matters. Later, I man the registers, only it was logged in someone else's name. Enter another presumed co-worker, a tall black guy. I realized we were never formerly introduced, but seeing as a lot of time has already passed, it would've been awkward to do so at that moment. A former boss, Paul, also showed up briefly.

Not too sure on much else. I know some woman ended up behind the registers to pick out cigarettes for herself. Don't recall how this ended.

Dream 2 - Botanical Draqueduct Trial

The visuals were slightly blurred. I was wandering around in the mid-upper levels of an apartment building, a grey sky visible out the windows. Later on, I go through walkways interconnecting the structure with adjacent buildings. These platforms got dangerously narrow at times, reduced to even a long wooden plank at its worst.

Eventually, I meet up with a striking figure, a tall woman with impressive musculature, and a forceful personality to match. She demanded I follow her into one of the buildings. Seemed unwise to not to heed as much. Inside was a series of blue stone hallways. A spectacular bloom of vines and other plantlife decorated every inch of this structure. Such vegetation grew thicker the deeper we went. And then, the plants began moving. They lashed out, forcing us further inside. As I was crossing a doorway, a shrub suddenly sprouted behind me, interposing between the woman and I. She bade I not mind her, that I continue on my own. I did so without hesitation. As I went further ahead, the vegetation dwindled in number. Soon after, I found myself back at the entrance.

The tough lady was already there, alive and well. She explained that I'd gone through some kind of trial, one only select persons were allowed to complete. After that, she takes me to another nearby building. Upon taking one step inside, a plant emerges yet again from behind, blocking me from the woman, the exit, and even from any light. "You alone were chosen", grunted the woman. "This is something you have to do on your own."

Unnerved, I walk towards the darkened open space ahead. Just then, a deep voice boomed from above.

"You have come far in this trial.", said the enigma. "Now, final judgement is upon you. But beware" the voice bellowed fearsomely, "failure in this next test will result in your certain demise. Prepare yourself!"

I shook in place uncontrollably. Only, I realized it wasn't me, but the entire structure itself. The floor quickly gave way. Now, I found myself sliding backwards through the winding tunnels of a vast stonework aqueduct, the sky partially in view through narrow slits above. I started looking for a way out of this unintended ride, when I noticed a terrifying figure overhead: a massive dragon, bony spikes protruding from its olive-green scales.

"How long can you survive?!", taunted the creature, quite apparently the source of the aforementioned voice.

I forced myself to go faster, hoping that I could somehow outrun the beast. Indeed, I did soon lose sight of it. But then, I found myself face to face with its massive jaws, snapping in from one of several occasional large openings on the walls of the structure. Luckily, its wicked fangs missed me by a hair.

Reactively, I reached into my pockets, but could only find a handful of stones. Still, I 'figured' I had magical abilities. I enchanted the stones, then waited. Eventually, while passing some large gaps, I saw the creature trying to swoop in at me. So, I hurled a stone at it, if feebly (I was still getting dragged by currents, after all). Nonetheless, even a mere graze caused it great distress. Roaring in fury, the dragon responded by breathing a gout of flame, almost incinerating me, had not the tunnel closed again in the nick of time. When it next tried to attack, I conjured an earth elemental, created from the materials of the structure itself. This being obviously stood little chance, but it could at least occupy the menace long enough to give me some distance.

Later on, my ride was abruptly halted by my getting dropped into a huge cistern. I swam around momentarily, scouting for an exit, but could see none. This delay cost me my lead. The dragon soon hovered in from above. In such circumstances, I was all but helpless. Just as I thought my demise was imminent, I was suddenly flushed into the depths. When I came to, I found myself sliding down that aqueduct all over again. The trial wasn't over.

Much of that sequence repeats, until I eventually woke up.

Scrap Group 2
Some extended scenes of the work dream above.

I got to sleep OK around 8. And slept until maybe 1 or 2.

Yams

My first dreams I remembered were of being at a big round table with my family. I was handing out sweet potatoes. They turned out to be soft but at first I thought they were under cooked.

Out Somnia

I had insomnia again and it was from after my first sleep cycle until IDK when. I gave up after an earnest try, and got up. I don't know what comes first. My workaholism or my insomnia.

Loft

Eventually I went back to sleep. Around 6 I guess. I felt myself drop in.

I don't remember much of the dream but I was in a loft. Something happened. Then there was someone like Goku. they expanded into a big illustration.

That made me lucid for a moment. I realized I was in a dream but didn't know what to do.

Springy False Awakening

I had a false awakening of waking up in a bed. But the bed had springs on it. I figured the dream had startled me into waking with a jolt. And that made my bed keep swinging back and forth.

The springs creaked. I kept trying to tell myself they would eventually slow down. But it seemed like my swinging gained momentum, and the creaking got louder. First it was right to left, then from head of bed to foot of bed. And squeaky squeak squeak.

I was thinking I need to record this dream in my voice recorder. Which I had put away since the sun was already up. (If I dreamed I planned on just getting up to write it. But I forgot that during this false awakening.) I wanted the bed to stop swinging and creaking, otherwise that sound would get recorded, too. So I tried to think about the dream while waiting for the bed to stop.

Then I grabbed onto this black metal bar of the bed to stop it but the force was too much. It felt like it would rip my arms off.

Missing Table

In waking life there is a table to the side of my bed. I got up from my bed to stand, and try to stop my bed swinging from the outside. I realized it wasn't there. My chair near it was though. "Oh well," thought I. "Maybe I moved it before sleeping."

Actually woke up

I appeared in my physical bed kind of surprised about all that having been a dream! It took me a moment to be like, oh, wait, my beds not shaking.

It would have been a great dream to become lucid in. However, I might have just gotten excited and returned to my body, if I became lucid. I'm surprised I didn't find lucidity over the bed swinging like that. I kept telling myself it must be possible and thinking of how my bed was built.



The end!

My dreams were consumed by another theme so much so that the palace just wasn't happening.

Chance, Gamble, Shuffle

I was in a golden box with a red carpet inside floating in the middle of the ocean. Invader Zim was present and talking to another character about how the situation presented was turning out to be ridiculous. I agreed with him but I wasn't just going to sit and mope. I climbed out and the scene began to form a ground. When I walked on it, I ended up in a purple dingy room that was decorated for a Halloween party.

I could hear Teen Titans Go in the BG and thought that while the kids watched it, I would go ahead and eat some of the snacks. I went up to a old dusty reddish chimney where a black rectangular tray had some pieces left of a skeleton candy. But just as I picked up a small piece the wall and chimney began to shake. "He's coming everyone! Hide!". I saw a boy run under the small square table in the middle of the room. I didn't want to go far or somewhere obvious/cornered so I hid behind the near small blue sofa that had a black gaping hole behind it.

As I crouched behind the sofa I saw a blurry spirit in the form of a man with a top hat come in. He slowly walked around the small table in the middle. It felt like he was looking down. Seeing through the sofa, I stepped carefully mimicking his movement so I can go around the sofa and keep out of his view. When he chose the person that was out of game and in his view, everyone in the party jumped up and ran in a line close to each other. I stood in between two guys and the one in front of me was wearing a waiter outfit. He had silver glittery cards in hand and began to shuffle the deck as soon as the spirit ordered him to begin. He didn't speak through words but we understood through feeling.
I watched as the guy shuffled the cards. There were four that seemed like they could turn around the game.


Moral Support

I was laying on my bed when suddenly a guy approached me.He took my hand and put his other hand towards me, saying he would heal me. I felt others present around my now illuminated room and than gently pushed his hand away telling him I didn't need to be healed. He than asked me what was it that I really wanted than. I said I just wanted to understand why things were the way they are.

After that I turned and looked at the other characters. They seemed like angels but I mentioned that they weren't. They agreed that they weren't and began to laugh together at my comment.

The dream than shifted and i was now in a sandy large circular area where large arches had bars in front of them like jail cells. I could hear noises coming from it and felt like it symbolized restraint for wrong doing.

After that the place changed again and I was in a room with what was supposed to be an evil person. My mom dc was present as well. While she was cooking the person made a small fire appear that burned my mom than summoned a larger fire. I blew out the fire and asked him why he was doing that. He said because he didn't care. I asked him why, is it because he lost someone he cared about and now no one else matters. He said yeah, kind of hesitating. I smiled feeling like we made a break through but this made him uneasy that he climbed out a window.The guy from the start than came back and told me that we would continue tomorrow.

After that the dream shifted and the guy from the start of the dream came out again and brought me to a light blue hall where the others from the start were grouped together.(For a moment u wondered if it was tomorrow yet...^^")I was asked to try and help them in a short amount of time.As they began to walk around doing their own thing I walked up to each one telling them things they could do to better their situation and change their perspective to a more positive one. But even if it looked like it helped some slightly they all came together and began to laugh without facing me.

I asked why they were laughing and why couldn't they just understand. It than got to the point when I wanted to smack one in the head but I stopped myself because it was not right. Instead I sighed and just watched them laugh. "Their obviously doing it to annoy me".The guy from the start than came back and asked me if I understood why things were the way they were now. I said yeah and understood that there were many opportunities for change but they didn't want to for some reason. He than brought me to a table with a yellow creature in btw us and showed me a metal with drawings on it that he drew. He said that I did a good job in changing some slightly or making them think even though I failed to make them leave the side they were on.


Final fantasy

I was trying to lend someone a pen but they were upset with me and didn't want to take it.

After that I ended up in a facility where I zoomed up btw some escalators. I passed a repetitive dc than heard a dc singing a lovely song in an unknown language. "I wish I could make music like that" I thought than sat down to listen.

The dream than shifted and I was in a room with green colored walls. There was a girl present who asked me what music I like. I said I like metal or rock but I do enjoy pop as well. She than put some rock music on and I left to find my younger cousin. She was in her room doing her best to ignore me with a poofy black short vest on. "Why is she wearing that?" I thought. I than flipped over a group of games in a basket where a final fantasy game was. This annoyed her so she flipped it back. Curious if she would do it again I did it again and the result was the same.

Notes: Perhaps to get to the palace I need to try meditating on it so I can clear my mind and have more of a chance of it becoming a theme in my dream. Next week I know its going to be another place but I still want to see if I can get myself there. On the bright side I did get fully lucid but i got distracted and wanted to see the end result.

[This is a series of dreams that occured over three nights, from June 13 to June 15 in 2017.]

[June 13]

I am at a festival sort of place, where there are dirt paths and stalls selling things. There are many events going on. One "show" has recently been cancelled, something about the building being unsafe.

There is something amiss at this festival; children are going missing. I am trying to gather all the children without families (which is most of them) and take them to a cave, a designated "safe place". The cave seems to have a magical barrier to keep negativity out. At one point I find a little blonde girl and try to coax her into coming with me, but she disappears when I turn around and look back.

[June 14]

Continuing from last night, I am at the same festival, but my girlfriend is kind-of there (it's weird, she was blurry, like she was phased in from somewhere else] and a frantic young man is following me. He is shorter than me - natural, as I am my alternate self which is rather tall - and has curly brown hair and black-rimmed glasses. He is trying to tell me something, something about a bad thing going to happen. I listen to him casually while walking until a loud rumbling begins. The grond shakes, and people start running and screaming. The guy tries to say something along the lines of "I told you!" but I shoo him off and forge my own way. I am surprisingly calm for someone who thinks this is all real, slowly moving through the crowd and keeping an eye on the sky; the sky is beautiful, a prismatic shatter of color that slowly turns black.

I make my way out of the festival and to a nearby farm house. There are many people inside that aren't too happy about me intruding in on their space, but I ignore it. An old man, presumably the keeper of the house, tries to trap me in an upstairs room. I easily resist his attempts and look for something I'm apparently looking for. I eventually find it: a trap door that leads to a huge underground factory. It is big enough for me to transform into my royal form, wings spread and all. I try to fly but find it difficult, and the dream fades.

[June 15]

I make it out of the factory and am somehow back at a different sort of festival, an indoor one. I end up at something that is drawing a crowd, some famous performer doing something I cannot remember. I watch until two officers come up to me with handcuffs and tell me to come with them. I get the feeling I should listen, so I comply without protest.

On the way to their vehicle, cuffed and all, I feel a man press a key into my palm and whisper to hold onto it. I stuff it on the side of my panties, where they hopefully won't search. We drive to the holding station, where I sit on a bench and the officers explain the "situation" to someone else. Somehow, my cuffs loosen, and I sneak away.

I go through a few doors and am suddenly in an underground mountainous area, airy and full of light yet so artificial. As I walk through here, a voice begins speaking to me: the man from earlier. He tell me where to go and I eventually am led to a door with a key slot. I still have the key he gave me, and it fits perfectly. Thing is, it only opens to more scenery. The voice tells me to be patient. I trust him and keep going; a little hiking and a weird cougar later, I stop at the mouth of a waterfall. The voice tells me to go through the waterfall. A strange blue creature comes forth from the falls, beckoning me in. I obey, going through.

Things are strange on the other side. So much so, that my first reaction is to turn back around...but then walk back in. The place has many vivid colors and strange creatures, plants, and such glowing, odd scenery in general (think Wonderland, really). A pink creature greets me, and then I wake up.

In the dream, I’m watching a film. I think I was watching it on a screen at first, but in the part I can remember well, I’m just standing on scene, watching as events unfold—or, rather, fail to unfold, as this seems to be the kind of film where nothing much happens.

The main (and only present) character, a man, is in a kind of apartment with a desk or a dresser that he’s sitting at. There are no walls: I can see directly into the strange landscape beyond, where the horizon is dominated by mountain peaks, including two volcanoes. The action is divided into distinct segments, with each one ending anticlimactically. In the last one, the man calls his girlfriend on his cellphone, but nobody picks up. This seems to illustrate the unremitting futility of life—or at least you’d think it does, based on the dramatic treatment it gets.

But once that comes to an end, all sorts of odd things start happening: a nearby pool of water starts to bubble, and one of the volcanoes erupts. I’m now in the backseat of a car with several other people, trying to get somewhere safe. But then the other volcano, which is straight ahead of us, also begins to erupt, the bright magma spilling over the rim. The woman who’s driving comments on it. I tell her she’s got the name wrong—she’s thinking of the other volcano. The one ahead of us is Vesuvius. And then I start laughing because of course what matters in this situation is making sure we get the name of the volcano that kills us right.

I’m also laughing because I’m fully aware of how ridiculous this geography is. I know none of this is real, and that makes it hilarious. As if in acknowledgement, all kinds of odd and impossible things are appearing out of nowhere around us, even as I watch. A gigantic man wearing a striped shirt materializes off to our left, over a large body of water. He steps from island to island, striding in the same direction our car is going. I’m still laughing too hard to speak, and so it’s someone else in the car who says it: “I found Waldo.” They also seem to find the whole thing funny.

28.4.18

I cant recall a lot. There was so much going on though.

Laughed After I woke up

I was with my brothers who were playing a mario game. They had to bounce mario on this huge plant until a burst of wind blew mario far away. While Mario tumbled in the air you could make different moves to help you catch the coins as you continued through the moving setting.

I asked my brother to let me try than. After i bounced and was blown away i felt partly immersed and was having fun till I noticed the characters could change. Mario ended up changing to wario than waluigi.

Next thing I recall is i was 12 and hanging around some other kids. One of the guys who stuck next to me looked like Eye's realism form. We were chatting together casually until someone shouted that a bombing was occuring. We ran as random characters began to pop up in our view. According to a man who was there we had to stay hidden from their view.

As we sat at the bottom of a leveled sandy ground someone tossed a small technological bomb that was in the shape of a hexagon. It was lighting up in the middle about to explode.(Looked like the bomb fox has in melee)The man shouted for everyone to duck than covered me with his body to shield me from any debree. Knowing that a stranger was protecting me like that, made me feel so happy.

But things died down after we went in a different direction. The guy who reminded me of Eye ended up handing me a present. It was wrapped in pink wrapper with red hearts on it and shaped like an envelope. When he unwrapped it though it changed into a pink maid outfit. He than took out a pink hair band for my hair and a short pink pants with red hearts on it. Everything was cute and reminded me of a design i had on a pink sweater when i was younger. After thanking him I took it.

We were than approached by the other kid who asked me how he got a scratch under his eye. I laughed and replied " the catterpillars bugs and worms crawled on you when you were asleep. Than you stumbled upon a forest where you fell "and something else i cant recall. As i woke up i laughed at the absurd story i came up with.


Butterflys

I was semi lucid in this dream and with my dream guide Eye. There was a baby shadow thing with a pointy head that ran towards me in the hall but Eye pulled me back than pushed it away. It tried to touch me again but Eye pushed it harder till it stumbled than dissapeared. He than showed me to my backyard where I saw a open carboard box that seemed like a small shrine but with flowers as the central object. There were many butterflys of different colors fluttering around. Ivy green, white, orange and another color. I didn't focus on it for long though.

I followed Eye again till we ended up in a huge place with violet walls and i suppose a pillar/long stairs. It was an important place but my memory of the place is deteriorated now. Something ended up happening there but i can't remember. After whatever happened, occured, I went into the kitchen of my old home where Dawn showed up in a suit and tie. He than took off his suit top than asked Eye why he didn't make him something to eat.

The way he was acting reminded me of how we use to roleplay in dreams when i was younger. I decided to go along with it and watched as he began to fry some peppers in oil and prepare vegetables/salmon. I felt excited to cook in a dream though. Cutting a pumkin and tossing it in I told Dawn that i would take over even though the dream limited my memory to cook vegetables and salmon. The frying pan began to overheat though. Not knowing what to do Dawn pushed me back annoyed and said to stay back.

The next part i recall is that I had a false awakening. In the false awakening i heard people out the window and told them to shut up. (I was cranky in the dream cause I couldn’t sleep)A man got furious in return and said he was going to kill me for saying that. I said sorry but he was still upset so i focused on summoning a guardian to protect me. I saw the scene change into a white place with colorful scribbles on the ground than i warped into the air where two anime girls sakura and ino were telling me how to summon Sasuke for protection.

I became semi lucid there than they began to swing me around so i could get the flow of the motion of summoning. I went through the flooring easily until i landed on a bed where sasuke showed up. Eye was around too but the scene changed quick after that.

I was looking at dream views but than my view zoomed in to a yellow background where someone replied to me.(Thought it might be psoink but i wasn't sure cause i couldn't see a username) I thought they replied after they read my dream but they said "I liked the part where the head was floating". With a smug emoticon and other random emoticons.(The smug emoticon probably occured cause i wondered when would anyone use that yesterday.xD) I didn't recall when that scene mentioned happened in my dream though and wondered if this had anything to do with my dream goals. (I didn't even recall the palace here.
:/)

Notes- There was a scene where a cockroach appeared too but I don’t remember when.

It was 2337 words. I only do pictures when I feel really inspired to and today I just felt like writing it.

Here is the PDF with all my formatting:

2018-04-28 - dreams.pdf

Here is the entry without any BBcode if you don't want to click PDF. Because I wrote it in Word.

Spoiler for DJ Entry:

I had a good nights sleep last night. And some good dreams and recall. Got to bed around 8:30 P M and up at 6:14 A M but theres a lot of time recalling and recording dreams between those two times.

Pokémon

There was an interesting Pokémon battle early on that I couldn’t remember much of.

Bowling

I was at a bowling alley. The owner could bowl a perfect strike every time. He came to our lane and did it.

There was a woman’s face above the end of the lane. But it was there because she was dead. And when the ball hit her dead body, it caused her dead body to make facial expressions. She had dark hair. Her face was probably four feet tall.

Teleportation

I teleported to a gym. But I wasn’t lucid, it was just subconscious. I remember arriving there and feeling funny, like something was different now. I tried to set up for a workout.

(J) and (P)

Something with my friends (J) and (P). Maybe a tupperware of rice.

Coats

Something about wearing a big coat. Taking it off and putting it on a shelf. Someone telling me I might need the coat.

Vegeta’s Dogs

Someone who reminded me of Vegeta was mad at me because he asked me to keep his dogs but I put them all in cages. When they got out they were almost suffocated and he was upset. (I would never treat animals that way in waking life)

Car Alarm

I dreamed I had gotten up. The lights were on. I heard a car alarm from the neighborhood. I wonder if I was lucid because I remember thinking, “Am I dreaming that sound, or is it coming from outside my dream?” It sounded like a physical sound. And very well could have been. But I was dreaming when I heard it, and didn’t wake up physically.

I forgot the rest of that part but there was a little dream part there.

Anna

There was something with a grocery store. Then some bleachers. My sister seemed to be dating (M). (M) was (P)’s younger brother but became as close a friend as (P).

Then it became (K) and (M) and they were even younger. I talked to (M) and he said his name was Anna. Apparently it wasn’t really (K) and (M) but it looked just like them. Their Mom had more children and these were the young ones. Maybe 5 years old.

Anna said he was a Demi God. And he explained that whatever anyone says will come back to them. At first I felt skeptical of this. But it made some sense to me. (Now I realize the skepticism was a good thing. The “karma” thing is a commonly held view but I found out about “blame shifting”, “Lords of Karma” and other concepts such as not beliving in a “punishing higher power” that debunk the “karma” concept. And how the “karma” concept has more a negative impact on people. But that’s very new agey.)

Then, I saw a teacher from my high school. She looked older. I told her, “Wow, can you believe it? (L) had more kids!” I forgot what she said.

Teacher Girlfriend

There was a woman I knew from high school. She was a teacher in a school now. She was my girlfriend within the dream. And she was letting me stay at the school. I will call her (S).

Privacy

At one point I was going to the bathroom. But one one knee? Then a bunch of people were looking in at me through a big glass window. I hoped they couldn’t see clearly.

Best Lucid, Dream technique

There was a kid who was mad at me. He said it was because I told someone what the best Lucid, Dream technique was. And really, I shouldn’t say anything about that.

I didn’t know what he was talking about that. I don’t remember dreaming of having done that. (But maybe it was something I did on a thread somewhere. I’ll try to be mindful of that. Usually I just say my own thoughts but not in a way that it’s the one way for everyone.)

Guy Trying to Pee on Me

There was a part in a room full of people. I felt confident. Then a guy started trying to pee on me. I was not really into that so I backed away. He chased me down. I remember waking up from that. Instead of thinking to recall the dream, I didn’t realize I had just dreamed. So I imagined throwing him off me and stopping him from doing that.

Poop In Sink

Well the dream came back. This time I was looking for a bathroom, but eating food at the same time. There was another small window to the bathroom that caught my eye.

I mainly didn’t want anyone to know I was eating food in the bathroom. They would think I was eating poop. LOL. Wait. There was poop in the sink already.

The sink was stainless steel. I didn’t want to clean the poop from the sink while still chewing my food because then I would think I was eating the poop.

So I turned around and faced away from it to finish chewing, which felt like forever. Then I looked at the poop in the sink thinking of how to clean it.

Pokémon Cards

I just remember feeling surprised when she seemed to still like me after some time. (It felt like a few days) And I was still welcome to live at the school. We kind of embraced.

Then some other guys there wanted to play me in Pokémon cards. I had my binder like in waking life with cards. It was like, if they won, they got all my commons and uncommons. There was more to the match, like they were mad at me, and the Pokémon match would settle it.

We gathered around a table. It turned out I had more booster packs. My dream made its own TCG expansions and designs for the booster packs. I remember looking at them, thinking if I remembered the names. Some of the guys wanted to open the packs and use the cards. I said sure but I get to keep anything I want from the packs afterward. There were at least 6 packs.

So then I went to the head of the table, standing near (S), to play. I felt close to her emotionally, which was a positive feeling. However, I wondered how we would all play one on one, with me at the head of the table. Shouldn’t we all be across from each other? It seemed like (S) would still love me no matter what happened.

Waterfall

At some point it jumped to a scene showing a series of water falls. I was thinking of the H M water fall. It showed a series of Pokémon game screens. I guess I just subconsciously love Pokémon.

One screen had a mail box with writing on it. I thought it might be a modified version of the original game.

Con Artist

After going down the water fall it showed two people in a car, but it was a boat. A man and a woman. I had an understanding that the man was a con artist.

Mouse?

I was in my room. I think there was a mouse.

Skulls in Dirt

About 4 people were in the woods. They were taking turns wrapping a black rope thing around their head. Swallowing some of the rope and pulling it back out. I was just watching from outside. I was trying to make sense of it.

(T)

(T) was in the dream. He had his head in a dirt hole. Then the dream showed me that there were two animal skulls in the dirt near by. I thought, “Oh no! That means diseases are crawling in the dirt!” And then (T) pulled his head out of the dirt.

(T) went on to say that many people make You Tube videos expressing their feelings. But his videos were more factual. He doesn’t need to express his feelings because he goes to the Mosque, he says. His accent is like waking life.

Being Outgoing!

Either before or after that, I was walking in the woods, with my voice recorder. I was recording myself talking but at the same time being out going to other people.

It was nice out. People were walking by on the trail. The main thing is I was in an good mood.

Shot Guns

Then there was this part where everyone had shot guns. They had white spray paint on them saying, “Hagner” or “Magner”. (T) and (M) were there. Eventually they gave me a shot gun too.
False Awakening Dream Journaling

I guess I had woken up, thinking through those. My brain felt groggy. I fell back asleep.

I was in a false awakening then. I was trying to dream journal, but it was a big assembly about a belief system.

I kept telling myself I remembered my dream just fine and I could record it later. But then doubted it.

So I tried to take out my phone and write my dream notes short hand while the movie thing played. Thinking maybe the teachers would think I was just taking notes from the movie, and not bother me about it. I don’t think I got to that though.

I remember the other guys with shot guns were still there. We all had shot guns. Someone wanted to trade me for mine. (I am not a gun person in waking life, not really interested in guns, totally against hunting, etc)

Bad guys at bottom of stairs
Eventually the assembly ended. I headed downstairs. It seemed like I was one of the last ones.

Part way down the stairs I heard something going on. A couple of the “authority figures” of the assembly were beating on a guy named Tom. (Not any Tom from in waking life) I witnessed the bad guy put his fist in Tom’s mouth.

I turned around to go back upstairs before they heard me. I wanted to get a video or call for help. (I was thinking the word “police” but they seemed to be on the bad authority figures side)

I looked around for help. Maybe I could use one of the shot guns. They all seemed not to weigh anything though. I didn’t know if they would work.

I saw a guy playing a key board kind of thing. Almost asked him for help. But decided he might be “one of them”.

Chain Saws

After getting by that guy undetected, I found a bunch of various chain saws and weed whacker kind of things. I thought these might be more reliable in stopping the bad guys.

I imagined putting a chain saw into a bad guy but it getting stuck. The the other bad guys could get me. So I changed my mind about chain saws.

Cubicles

Then there were all these cubicles. I saw (A) in one. I jumped up over all the cubicles into his cubicle, landing on the desk behind him. (B) was also in the cubicle.

Even though I did that jump, I wasn’t lucid. It just seemed normal.

I started urging them to call the “police” (not realizing the “police” were the ones in cohoots with the bad “authority figures”). When I said “police”, (B) seemed to shy away. He didn’t want anything to do with it.

Instead of call the “police”, (A) got all pumped up to go take the bad guys on himself. So he and (B) headed out to do that. I was like, “No! You will need more help!” but they were gone.

Waitress

I walked around some more to think of what to do. There was a waitress working in an almost empty restaurant section. This was a giant assembly room I had been in this whole time.

I told the waitress about the situation, thinking she could use a phone or help. She walked down toward the bad guys too. From the top of the stairs, I tried to stop her. We needed more help, not just one person to go down there.

She took off her clothes and kept heading down stairs. When she got down there, she started saying, “Good thing you are beating up that riff raff!” but she also said “Riff raff like me” which I tried to make sense of. Why would she group herself with them? It seemed she was trying to get on the bad guys’ good side, treacherously.

“You can remember and go on your way”

After that I knew she would tell the bad guys about me being up here. They would come up to get me.

I think I woke up briefly, and remembered the dreams in my mind, staying still. Then another dream began. This time I was lucid though.

Even though I was lucid I still feared the bad guys coming. I was like, “They’re not here yet. If they get here, I can easily wake myself up. But maybe I can just hang in there.”

I continued looking for a way out of the big assembly room, other than going down stairs to the bad guys. Flying didn’t really occur to me. I saw a chapel kind of room. And there were stairs going down the other side of the building.

As I headed for those stairs, a brown haired woman appeared, taking up my whole vision. She sang in a little girl’s voice for a while. The last words of it were, “Now you can remember, and go on your way.”

It had to do with just waking up and not continuing the dream. I still tried my best to stay in the dream. But I woke up.

Notes

Pretty good dreams and recall I think. Not as much lucidity but good vividness and recall.

Dream No. 317 - Separated Sections

Dream 317 A - The Good, The Bad And The Unethical
I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was at our extended family's house in Geelong. The two family members that live there, RC and her son AC, were looking after a little girl. Obviously things weren't good... The little girl was crying and both RC and AC were yelling at her. Then, when my mum came into the kitchen, she joined in on the yelling as well.

I was standing in the distance and I thought to myself, “the behaviour of the adults is appalling!”. I went up to them, who were all still yelling and bickering at the girl, overwhelming her and I pulled the girl away from them all. I asked the little girl what was wrong and she told me, I forgot what she said though. I told her that my dream guide could help her. So I walked around the small house and spent some time calling for Dreamy WB.

Eventually, Dreamy WB appeared in the distance, at the other end of the house past the kitchen. Her hair was out in an asymmetrical afro and she was wearing a navy and white stripy jumper with dark jeans. Dreamy WB was very skinny in this dream but the dream had also made her look so charming and dreamy. Her eyes actually had pigments in them that would sparkle at times, like glitter under light.

From the scene where Dreamy WB appeared, the dream camera actually perceived first-person mode to be on the little girl; so I could be seen watching the little girl as she went over to Dreamy WB. In addition to Dreamy WB's beautiful figure, she gave the widest smile, showing the utmost whitest teeth. She bent her knees slightly, taping her hands on her legs, beckoning for the little girl to come to her.

Once the little girl was at the foot of her, Dreamy WB said nothing but instead gave her a long, hard hug as she wiped her face clean of tears on Dreamy WB's jumper. And then after that, Dreamy WB actually kissed her on the forehead. Although it was the little girl in first-person mode, all the sensations felt as if I was the one receiving the affection. That's all I can remember about this dream.

Dream 317 B - Sly Game Simulation
I don't remember how the dream started. From where I can remember, I was in a slightly distorted version of Venice from the third Sly game. I was in this circular arena-like area with pillars and a ring around the top, resembling where Bentley sung with Octavio, only it was bigger. Also, the floor was out of stone brick with small vessels of moss decorating it and the whole arena was surrounded by water, except for the linking footpath where I originally came from.

All the graphics, everything in this dream was a resemblance of the Venice level in the third sly game. The little owl and cat enemies were coming at me, with the owls fluttering and the little cats waving their small fire sticks. There was some readable text in the sky. One block of text was subtitled under “WB” and the other under “No WB”. I knew what it meant and so I paid attention to the text that was titled “No WB” because as a true fact, I didn't have her with me. That piece of text said “You will not have the ability to deal any direct damage to your foes”.

I had the exact same moves and abilities as Sly, meaning that I had possession of a cane but as I was without WB, I was not allowed to use the cane. Instead, I pulled an “alarm clock” out of my pocket and threw it at the approaching guards. Once it hit the ground, it started ringing. In the Sly games, the alarm clock lures enemies but this one had the opposite effect. The noise was so deafening and the clock was so bouncy that it repelled them! Once in the water, the enemies died in a puff of smoke; exactly the same physics and laws as the actual game.

After a few rounds of the alarm clock, there were no more enemies. I was just standing in the arena, contemplating life and the environment around me. I decided to open the gadgets menu and try on some costumes. First, I put on the Venice thug costume and then I switched over into the pirate costume. The dream ended after that.

I am in the car with my family. We are talking about death and the afterlife. At some point, I mention not being afraid of death. This leads into someone handing me a bomb, the rest of my family disappearing, and the bomb going off.

The pain is momentarily unbearable, a searing white-hot burn coursing through every bit of my body. Even worse is the immense, crushing pressure. Once the burn ebbs away, the pressure increases, and a loud silence pulses. It feels like I'm breaking apart.

Suddenly I am somewhere else, and someone is asking for my information at a desk. I ignore her and look arond. It looks like an old house converted into a wellness center. There are a lot of confused poeple of all ages shuffling around. Someone yells out, "Come this way if you want answers," so I decide to follow the voice and check it out. I go where the man directs. The room I walk into next looks like an old classroom with wooden desks; there are already many people seated, waiting expectantly.

As I sit, I realize something isn't right and try to push my fingers through my palm. It doesn't work the first time, but my fingers push through the second time. I quickly pull them out and stare in wonder. The mistake I make here is instead of realizing I'm dreaming, I believe I am dead.

The instructor is going on about something irrelevant until I interrupt him and say, "I'm dead, right?" He stares at me and slowly says "yes" in a quiet voice. Instead of being upset, I become curious and start asking questions regarding afterlife and the astral planes. People look at me, confused, and whispering amongst each other. I'm eventually ushered out of the room (I did do a demonstration of how I pushed my fingers through my palm, maybe that's what did me in) and the instructor tells me to keep quiet. I ignore him and move on to explore.

I find the basement of the house, and thus find something strange. There are hundereds of "cores", strange bowl-like crystalline structures that change colors constantly. They appear in sets of five, the middle corse containing a black orb. I know these are the people's life cores, and my own.

Sometime later on, a creature smashes through the wall. It's huge and looks reptilian, and causes immense chaos. It smashes many of the cores, including some of mine, and I hunch over in pain. I run back up the stairs, yelling and warning people about the creature. Seems like the excitement wakes me up.

I am outside. There is a party going on, and I am in a wood, at a picnic table, with about 5 other people. This wood is sparse; just enough to provide a bit of cover, but I can see across the path, to a body of water, and a dock with little boats. There is a house, an old style farm house in the distance. The rest of the party is held there. I don't remember my outfit, but I am wearing something dark.

Anyway, I am just hanging around, because for some reason I cannot leave this location even after trying to (I am semi-lucid). There is an asian woman, a man with long hair, and a guy with a scruffy goatee and a flannel shirt. Everything is fine until they decide to kill me. The woman morphs into a snake, another into a wolf, and they strike at me. I dodge them and finally say something that makes the morph back. The woman laughs as gold sparkles shower her form, as if it is all a game to her.

After this, I make a point to go into the house, and hang out in the kitchen. It has hard floors and paneling, with a ktichen island with people sitting around it. Across from the kitchen is the living room and a set of stairs, but I don't go up them or into the living room. I lean against a wall, chatting with someone, when some girl suddenly tumbles in from upstairs and falls to the ground, sobbing. She has long brown hair covering her face and looks vaguely familiar so I try to get a closer look. That's when I wake up.

//Turns out this person was definitely someone I know. I won't go into details, but said person described the place in complete details, we were just in different parts of the dreamscape.

Fooling Around

I was laying on my bed but than I was pushed and dragged off it slightly. The dream than shifted and I was in a room where I thought a demon lurked around trying to trick me. It eventually turned out to be a harmless unknown thing that fooled around time to time. I than went to watch some tv show of a anime where the bad guy was about to be defeated with the main hero's powers. My dad was also around during this dream.

There was also a scene where the thing said my brothers were playing a korean game where they would shock themselves with electricity slightly. I was going to warn my brothers but than shrugged it off as a lie since they knew that will put their life at risk.


18ifmuch

I was laying on my bed and thinking about how when you just wake up you can see images appear for a few secs. I than noticed a image thinking it might be a moving shadow. But when it jumped behind me it took the form of a guy who started to laugh at me.

The dream than shifted, too quick for me to think about it and I was now looking at a woman who told me that I was in acoma. (I'm pretty sure my dreaming mind came up with this because of the 18if anime)She also mentioned that if I wanted to wake up I would have to breathe in relaxed and let the blood flow around me in a way that didn't apply pressure. The next option she offered me was to go on a roller coaster ride in the huge meshed facility I was in.

I decided to go on the ride so I did just that but it just felt like a flashed image that occurred in 3 seconds.
Everything there seemed too dreamy and out of place to be legit but I just decided to go with the dream even though I couldn't recall where my current body was. I was hoping to see Dawn my dream guide as well. As I walked around a girl approached me and asked if I had to go through the same situation as she did in her past life. I said yes and acknowledged her presence before we parted ways.

I saw people all around sitting, chatting and even said hello to a Chinese food guy who looked like the chef in the place I was in. He didn't turn around though. Than soon after that I was approached by a short guy who said my test was about to start. I figured it was a dream test but when I thought about it some more I decided to ask him a question. "What do you think of demons? (I was curious if the dc had a answer that had some moral to it) He said he wasn't sure while preparing something in what was now my old home kitchen."Okay...whats your name?". His friend than came in and they replied "Vincent and Ven". (Maybe my mind got this from vincent van gogh) Afterwards the short guy asked me to follow him outside. Before we headed out through the second door a flock of black crows and dark pigeons burst in through the door.

He than threw a scythe at me. When I caught it I asked him if he was into soul eater like Jade. He didn't answer that and shouted at me to fight off the birds as my first task. I thought about it than said no. He asked me why and I told him because I don't need to harm the innocent birds to win against my opponent. He said it was fine but than something came in and blew him down, slicing his pants. He looked at me annoyed as if to say it was my fault so I said sorry than flew out the door and ended up in a room. Once in the room I hopped out the window and caught a metal to grip onto. I wasn't that confident in my flight yet.

I saw a little chibi around hiding and wondered if Dawn would show up. But than I decided to stop worrying about that and about my flying. When I hopped off and let go of my fear by also singing a comfortable song I was able to fly freely without lack of control. As I flew around I ended up back in a house where someone said that my music taste was comparable to the songs from the wizard of oz. I ignored that comment and flew to a different room now where i saw a monster in the form of a human approaching a group of teens. They all had melted portraits behind them and melted candles, one each in front of them.The monster said it was going to kill everyone of them as they cried out for help because they were already tainted. I felt like i could do nothing since they were already tainted but as i flew away i thought of them reviving after the monster got them. Thats what happened and than the monster was gone. The teens ran to a room excitedly together and were chatting away happily until one created drama by cheating on his girl friend. I tried to fly away from that scene but I couldn't quite get outside.


Getting A Weird Shot


A Asian man was getting a shot from a very small needle filled with blood into his shoulder. I took the needle and put it into my shoulder to make sure It was properly being done. Than I asked my mom who was next to me why they were giving him a shot of blood. When I asked that by mistake I got blood from the needle onto my mom's mouth. She licked the blood around her lips than told me casually that the blood had vitamins in it and was good for the man. I found that reasonable and didn't think much about why she licked what was now my blood. I figured it was because she was my mom and she cared about me.

I was creating a model of a city where I pointed out a blue building with yellow windows. I was planning on placing people around.


Notes:These dreams are kind of dark and twisted in a way but since there are still positive moments I think its because even though there is bad, I try to see the good of a situation.

[From November 21, 2016]
I am trapped in a cage most of this dream. There is a huge wall of cages that contain a lot of people I know, but I only speak with my captor and the boy in the cage next to me...Denarius. He's shown up in many of my previous dreams, and it seems now that he is in his cage on purpose, following me in my dreams. I've also seen him in labs and factories, strange how he seems to show up in places of experimentation.

I don't know what I've done, but I have no way out. I am trapped in here for a long time, only given food each day. Eventually, Denarius casually remarks about this being a dream and phases right out of the cage. His familiar face combined with the action snaps me into lucidity for the moment.

With this knowledge, I manipulate the bars to let me out, and I believe we escape together, but I lose lucidity at this point and wake up.

[From November 17, 2016]

I don't remember the beginning, but here we go.

I am staying at someone's house. Apparently, I have done something wrong, so I am placed in this room with "evil" spirits who are meant to drive me insane.

Yes, there are spirits in this room. One is particularly active. I can only see him when he comes close to me, and he disappears when he moves too far away. He looks terrifying: a black humanoid mass with a crooked head, bloodshot eyes and a wide-open mouth. I am at first afraid, but soon notice the way he shies away when I come near. He does not intend to hurt me. He seems curious, but afraid.

I greet him and begin talking to him, using humor and turning the lights off to make the environment more comfortable. Slowly his form changes into something more human and then into a man, now emitting a bright blue glow. I am cracking jokes and making him laugh; as he smiles, his aura glows brighter. He is wearing something rather silly - booty shorts and a tropical shirt. He cannot physically speak, but communicates through vibrations, which works better than words in this situation.

We talk about art; apparently he is an artist, so I conjure some of my artwork. He also enjoys talking about holidays and Halloween. He has some rather fond memories of his family. I ask him why he is wearing such a ridiculous outfit, and he says he thinks it is rather funny.

As we communicate, other spirits gather around. One is another man and the other is a woman who adorns a tangle of red hair. They all look weathered, but lighten up as they listen in and communicate with me and the others. The dream ends shortly after this. It was a rather pleasant dream.
