    Nightmares

    1. Giant green pool Nightmare

      by , 02-23-2011 at 07:13 PM
      Ugh, I had a nightmare again =( I was with some friends at a giant green pool. The water was green and muddy (green mud). At the bottom of the water I could see a few green monster fishes. If I fell into the water the fishes would kill and eat me. I was very afraid to slip the whole dream. Me and my friends were playing(?), hanging in ropes above the water. In the end, I failed holding myself up, so I fell into the water and swam for my life so the monster fishes wouldn't take me. I escaped, but the boss of the place, some person, tied my up and tried to stuff me into a shredder. My friends just stood there watching. I kicked the shredder away from myself.. and woke up.
    2. Slippery Track

      by , 02-23-2011 at 12:08 PM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      I'm riding down this highway with my brother. It's dark, and cold, and it looks like it just started snowing. I as we continued on, I noticed several parked cars that were wrecked on the side of the road. We avoided a pileup, but lost control of the car. We had to dodge oncoming traffic while attempting to regain control of the car. Eventually a car hit us, and it sent us over a bridge. As we plummeted, I took a deep breath for oxygen, and tried to keep my body relaxed as possible so i could take the impact.

      We hit the water, and the car slowly started sinking. My brother got out right away, but I was having troubles with my seat belt. As the water continued filling the car, I decided I had enough time to take enough breath, because the car wasn't full yet. I did, and was able to unbuckle my seat belt. I opened the door, and started swimming to the surface, but woke up before I got there.

    3. 15 Feb: Becoming a dragon and telling other dreamers about DV

      by , 02-22-2011 at 10:31 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

      22:30

      Bus trip
      I’m involved in politics. There’s a vote for me to have some vacation. I go on a bus trip and the driver is a black guy. He looks tired and I fear he might fall asleep while driving, although the trip is relatively short – about 40 mins – so I decide to trust his driving.

      Amityville-like haunted house
      With some other people on an apartment we believe to be haunted. We see a kind of specter of a scary man walking around on some security footage and it creeps us out. He makes lights flash and even burst the lamps. He seems to be able to control whoever he wants to control and lead people to their suicide. First victim is a girl we find hanged in a room, second victim a guy we find all broken for having fell down the stairs. Even the cat gets possessed. Someone decides to strike back by calling him and facing him, but then I see my mom and my BF and I take them with me to the kitchen and we close the door behind us. We are pretty scared because after a while we feel the spirit presence among us. I feel it physically as if he is touching me and it causes all kinds of horrifying feelings and visions. At some point I suspect I’m dreaming, so I open the terrace door for some fresh air and look around, I do a RC, confirm the dream and decide to lift off. On one hand I feel relieved it’s just a dream, but on the other hand I feel guilty for leaving them there, as maybe this is a shared dream and they are left alone in the nightmare.

      Castles and meditation
      Viewed from above, the apartment complex now looks like a doll house castle, very cute. From up in the sky I see another castle, much bigger, on top of a hill. It is as if it has no walls, so I see people inside it, as if they are on shelves. There are also many people floating around this castle, just hanging and I feel all these strange characters are indeed other dreamers. I float in the air, cross my legs to meditate, but I almost wake up. When back in the dream I am now inside some place and I sit facing a wall, not to distract myself. I try to visualize Buddhas and really feel their presence, but after some time I start seeing all sorts of lights and shapes on the wall, like light projections. I look back and see some girls with a overhead projector, preparing it to play some movie. I leave this place and find some very very quiet corner on an underground level of this building. Between the elevators and the exit to a parking, there’s a really zen corner with a waterfall on a glass wall, water falling on a pebble base and a garden behind the wall. I sit there, soothed by the sounds of the water and I manage to do a successful short meditation for a while. I feel the presence of Guru Rinpoche, but then I almost wake up. I hang on and dream becomes stronger, but not enough, so I must move to keep it going. I decide to finish the RPG task I left undone last time.

      Eating the fruit and becoming a dragon
      (RPG task)
      I enter one of the elevators and imagine it taking me to the same supplier market in Denn, where I was last time. The elevator drops me at a very busy cargo entrance area. I get out of the way of men carrying heavy loads to outside where merchants stands are selling produce to the villagers.
      I immediately see the strange fruit I’m supposed to eat on a fruit stand. I choose a small one and eat it. I keep walking around waiting to see if anything happens (it’s supposed to give me some new magical power) but nothing happens. I then find a stand where people gather around, very agitated and I go check what’s up. It’s more of those fruits, but here they look bigger and better and are being served already cut and clean for free to the villagers. Two girls approach me and ask me what is it about. By the way they are so “defined” and “lucid” I realize they are dreamers. I tell them there’s a task on DV to come here and eat this fruit, which is supposed to give us new powers. They enjoy that, they say they also wanna give it a try and then we all grab some fruits to eat.
      Once we are served, we gather on the left side of this stand where they meet a third girl friend and they ask me more about DV. I first ask for their names and tell them mine. One girl says she is called what I perceived as“Lollena”and the other what I perceive as “Sino”(as in Portuguese for “bell”; the equivalent sound in English would be“xenu”). The third girl to my left looks blocked, as if she couldn’t remember her name, so I continue to explain what is DV and give them the url. Then the third girl finally says something. She tells me that she (or they?) is user of some other dream website and she tells me the name of it. First it sounded like Dreampaws, which I know exists, but I asked her to repeat and it wasn’t that, although it was something similar, like maybe Dreampush (which I found later on waking up, that also exists). I’m not sure though, because it became fuzzy on waking up.
      Then we walk around the town and they ask me about the super-power. I say I don’t know what it is and I also haven’t felt anything different yet. We try telekinesis, morphing, etc, and it all goes very well, but I say I already had all these powers before, so it can’t be it.
      Then we hear people scream and we see a big pinkish tornado coming right to the centre of the town. We combine efforts and we try to break the tornado apart. I see to my right another guy who is also trying to do it, so we are at least 5 people doing it. Soon the tornado fades away and is but a large pink cloud in the sky. People are cheering us and I lose the girls in the middle of the crowd. When I meet them again later (only the two girls with names) at the entrance of a tavern down a street, they had just been approached by some bullies and one of them sobs while the other comforts her. She admits to her friend that she owes money to those guys and don’t know what to do. I pass by them and remind them we’re just in a dream, but they seem to have lost lucidity for good, so I keep going. It’s when I start feeling the effect of the fruit!
      I feel my body changing, my neck elongating, I walk in four limbs and then I spread my “arms” and I feel like I have wings. I flap them and slowly elevate in the air. I am still fundamentally human shaped, but I think I am becoming a dragon! It is hard to deal with this new body and I wobble a little bit in the air. At some point I lose balance all together and fall down on the floor. I think I come back to my human form.
      On the floor, I am facing the end of the street, which is the end of the town and I see a huge looming creature crawling in my direction. It’s another dragon.
      I immediately remember the talk I had with my dad during the day. He had asked me if I fear dragons when I meet them in my dreams and I had said no, in general they are friendly. But this one has a really dark energy and I immediately felt really scared. I run back to the town, looking for a place to take cover and hide. He steps up, trying to catch me and I only have time to duck under a wagon to my left and I see the dragon passing right by my side. He circulates the wagon and hits it repeatedly. I know it’s a matter of time until he turns it over. For some reason I am really scared and convinced I can’t beat this dragon. So when he is about to grab me with his claws, I decide to wake up.

      5:00

      Puppies
      Some guy is buying his kid a puppy. The kid opens up with me and says he didn’t receive love from his father so he is doing this as a compensation. I get involved and I tell the guy about Puppy Mills and that he shouldn’t support it by buying a puppy. Instead should go adopt a puppy from a shelter. I also say I hope this puppy won’t end up on a shelter later on if he gets tired of him. I take them to a shelter and the kid goes wild when he spots a little lion on some cage in the corner. He goes get it and hugs and kisses the lion. The animals are looked after by black androids.

    4. Dream about Damon Albarn

      by , 02-22-2011 at 01:19 AM (Thunder Only Happens When It's Raining)
      (Copied from another forum I'm on, thus spiced up with some wikipedia-links. Ryan and String are both users on that forum.)

      Had two lengthy dreams tonight, the second one was a nightmare involving Damon.


      I can't recall exactly what it was, but it was some Gorillaz-related event. Definitely not a concert, more something like a ROTO-book signing but way more important with lots of people attending (I think it involved Damon and Jamie holding speeches or something), but not all of them hardcore fans or anything. Not sure whether it was in Germany or Great Britain (or maybe one and the same).

      The first part that I recall was me walking with Damon in some big, tall glass hall on first floor (for Ammies: second floor) level, about to walk down the stairs. The event, whatever it had been, was just over. I think most people were still in the main hall where things had happened (the glass hall was some type of lobby). The whole dream involved me walking along with Damon. It was about me wanting to talk to him and to try to establish a future contact, like an email or postal address (although I never referred to anything specific explicitly) so I could send him Philipp D. Maier Album (product placement) because I hoped (as I did in real life when I told Ryan to give it to Damon, which he didn't, which obviously still causes me grief and slight anger) that Damon would listen to and like it (and then collaborate with me :33).

      We left the building. I can't recall when we talked about what, but mainly it was kind of about Damon being visibly fed up with fans trying to talk with him. He made it clear (again, probably not very explicitly) that he just wanted to take a stroll and that he was slightly annoyed by fans always wanting to talk. (I think I recall one outdoors scene where in fact there was some String-like girl fan was all geeking out on him and him visibly being annoyed.) Remember, I had an important mission in mind, so while Damon passively tolerated me walking along with him on his stroll, I only said about one sentence every two minutes or so so that he wouldn't get annoyed. I really wanted to avoid him getting the image that I was some annoying fan who wanted to talk about how awesome Damon and his music were and wanting him to sign things or anything; the reason I wanted to talk to him, after all, had the goal that we miiight just make music together in the future. I still was aware that it would definitely seem stalker-ish to give him my email (because obviously, if he'd replied, even if just to tell me what he thought, which would already have been awesome, I'd have had his email address, which would be perfectly understandable for him not to want to happen.) I remember thinking about different ways to go about this, like telling him to use an email of a friend's of his to let me know what he thought, but then in some way that would have been even more stalker-ish.

      The next place in the dream that I recall was when we were in front of some church/swimming pool type building. (??) We entered the building (I think it was POSSIBLY where the event had taken place, but a different side of the building. With kind of like dressing rooms. Like they have at important red-carpet events/in film studios, for stars to dress, but well, looking like swimming pool dressing rooms. I think Bobby Womack might have been in one.) I think the walls or SOMETHING there was orange. I still walked with Damon but we were barely exchanging words.

      The next part is when we left that building, too. The whole post-event dream was already in the evening and it was getting dark. At some point (in order to explain to him why a contact was needed) I told Damon that at the previous and only other event of his (possibly a concert) that I had attended (which I can't recall at all and aren't even sure whether I actively thought about much during the dream), I had brought along a physical CD of my album for him but hadn't been able to find him. I'm not sure whether that was just an excuse (not sure for what though) because then, I said that for this event, I hadn't brought along the physical CD because I, well, (embarassed gesturing) had (you-better-admit-it) just forgotten it (nervous, but clearly angry-of-oneself laugh). I feared that this kind of worked-up behaviour would get him annoyed, but he didn't seem to care much and we just kept walking without him reacting much.

      At some point (the whole walking up till then was about 10 - 20 minutes I'd think), it was dark by then, we arrived at some kind of car park. (This had always been the destination we were walking to, which had added to my problem of how to ask Damon for a contact, because not only did I know he didn't want me to talk a lot, but I also was under some time pressure.) Within the building we sort of got to a staircase without any lights via where we went down into some pretty dark cellar complex. Not really sure what we did there, but the next part was about us going up the stairs again. At that point, about 600 11-or-12-year-old fans streamed down the (normal-sized) stairway and buried us under them. I think a few of them looked like Ryan, and I think Ryan had led them there. I recall being angry at Ryan (although I couldn't single him out in the crowd) for doing this shit. I was also slightly panicking because we were drowning under those fans. For some reason while I was still struggling, I knew that Damon was almost on top and out of the staircase again. I feared that I'd lose him, but for some reason, like in some computer game, I could go to some menu and see a numbered list of all persons in the staircase, and for some reason I knew that Damon was number 407, and for some reason that made me know exactly where he was, and for some reason suddenly I was out of the staircase again and running; then (the car park was really dark) I saw the silhouette of a person driving in a car which was coming from behind, so I ran up to it and asked "is that you?" and Damon replied yes (not sure how we could talk to each other while he was in the car). - I recall being really confused about him driving a car because he doesn't have a licence, but I'm not sure whether I wondered that during the dream or in that phase after a dream where you've waken up but still think that the dream was a real event. - I think I got in his car and it was there that I talked to him again ("sorry that I'm asking you, but I'm kind of desparate because this might be the last time in my life that I ever see you") (same situation in real life, I doubt I'll ever meet Damon). He replied (not very annoyedly), but I'm not sure what. Memory gets reaaally hazy from this point on but I think we drove to some place that would have taken us about 5 or 10 minutes to walk to, but took us only 2 minutes or so to drive to. There miiight have been a chauffeur by some point.

      We were out of the car again and walked next to some wall maybe next to some park or something (and a street on the other side where we had possibly been driving before). I think I had lost track of Damon again. (It still (or again?) wasn't completely dark outside.) I think the wall kind of went up to some school-like building which was also the building where the initial event had taken place and outside where now fans were walking around, many of them looking for Damon. I was coming around the corner of the end of the side of the wall that didn't adjoin to the school. The wall wasn't straight all the way, sort of like this:



      (For reference, the straight part of the wall was about 200 metres (for Ammies: yards) long, so pretty long.)

      I found Damon on one of the parts of the wall parallel to the motorway that weren't the long straight part. Damon was sort of a part of the wall (but not in a gay Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-Flying-Dutchman way, he was rather a brick in the wall or maybe part of a (moving?) stickman graffito on the wall or possibly both). When I found him/noticed it was him (through my previously-mentioned sort-of radar), he was a normal human again and we kept walking and talking. I think this is possibly when the previously mentioned scene with the String-like girl happened. We then (or before) were also kind of running, him trying to avoid the fans and me still accompanying him. Or something. I think the dream ended soon after. By the end of all of this (the wall scene lasted maybe about 10 minutes), it was completely dark.

    5. Attacked by a Pit Bull

      by , 02-21-2011 at 06:44 PM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      I'm standing in kind of a gravely road and there is a gray pit bull barking at me and trying to get an angle on me to bite me. I have a pen.

      As he attacks, I stab him in the back. I end up stabbing him repeatedly. Once I kind of miss and he nearly bites me. Eventually the DOG has an army weapon of a tube that you drop rocket things in and they shoot out immediately. The dog puts a rocket in, but it is more like another smaller tube of metal that he puts in.

      Now I have a metal pole and I smack the metal that he is trying to shoot at me. The projectile gets bent and won't come out. Now the dog is a person. He is like a crazy soldier. I start to whack him with my metal pole. I hit him about three times. I kind of get a head shot and a couple body shots.

      He tells me the next blow would have killed him, so luckily I don't need to hit him again. He looks pretty good, but I don't want to kill him. Now though, he is after me. I run away.

      I end up in a mall and security is there. Other people are around and they know about the guy on a rampage. I start to tell the officer about the dog that turned into a soldier guy and realized that the story would make me look crazy, so I just said there was a guy who was trying to attack me.

      The End.

    6. Flat Decoration and an Injured Child :(

      by , 02-21-2011 at 10:13 AM (Brainy Vapours)
      dream
      nondream

      I'm in a flat with my cousin. We live there together with my son. It's fairly small but bright and open plan. I come up with a plan to redecorate it, removing some cheesy stickers that are on the wall. The stickers are very 80s looking, music notes and bars in a wave sort of pattern that goes up and along the wall. My plan in to paint the wall with the design I've seen on one of the tee shirts that my cousin wears, a brown one with yellow script writing that says "Retro". My cousin agrees but wonders how we will do it, concerned that it will be a difficult project.

      Flash forward to the bathroom, I am giving my son a quick shower. He is playing around with the water, then gets a hold of the shower hose and then lets it go. Suddenly the water is on full blast and the hose is going mental, spraying everywhere. At first my son laughs hysterically, but not for long. The water has turned hot (I get the horrible impression that I turned it up???) and now it's burning him and he's screaming. I can't get to him at first and there is panic as all I can do is watch in horror.

      After I get the hose to stop spraying I poor some cool water on my poor kid's skin, which is red and angry. There is an imprint of the bathmat from the bottom of the tub burnt into his skin. I wrap him in cool towels and plan to go to the hospital.

      We end up at this strange cafeteria kind of place full of those fold out tables and chairs. I get the impression that there will be a wedding or something going on here
      (wedding is a dream sign of mine, I wish it triggered a RC, but nope) sometime soon. There are some nervous parents of the bride or groom milling around, one woman approaches me while I am trying to put my poor kid to bed (under a table!). She asks me if she can help me. I suddenly get a glimpse of some laundry hanging on a wire in a field and the dream ends.

    7. 02/20/11 Spiders and shacks and traps... oh, my

      by , 02-21-2011 at 04:32 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      Plans: I didn't have any special plans for the night, just to have some lucids and remember them. I am continuing to try to make myself do a RC every time I wake up, but I just never think of it… no matter how much I try to focus on it. I will keep trying, I'm not sure what else to do, though.

      Maze of Webs
      I am in the laundry room of our house, looking at the door that leads out onto the back porch. I look back into the kitchen and see that there is no one there, and I am glad there is no one there. I open the door and walk out onto the back porch, closing the door behind me. I almost head blindly down the steps to the carport, but I stop suddenly when I see there is a wall of cobwebs blocking my way. I shudder at the idea that I almost touched those cobwebs… there are spiders crawling all through the webs, they are big, about the size of golf balls. This scares me, even though I am not normally scared of spiders in waking life. I turn to go down the back stairs, but to do that I have to cross the entire porch… which is covered in more cobwebs, walls of cobwebs, everything is covered with cobwebs… and more of those huge spiders. I am momentarily scared into not moving at all, then I snap out of that and I look to the door I just came out of. I go to open the door, but I stop as I see the spiders have already covered the knob with more cobwebs. I need a stick of some kind to pull cobwebs out of the way so I can get out of there… I look around to try to find a long stick, at first I think there is none, but I finally find one. I pick it up, moving carefully to avoid touching any cobwebs or spiders, and use it to scrape the cobwebs away from the doorknob. The cobwebs come easily away from the doorknob, but now there are spiders crawling on the stick towards me… I throw the stick aside and grab at the knob… but it's locked… and I'm out there surrounded by cobwebs…


      Real Life Models
      I am in the yard outside of our house. I am designing a small building, designing it in a 3D modeling software, and the building is forming itself right here in front of me. It turns out that there is someone there building the shed as I am directing. We continue designing the building, which is going to be a part of a new game I am working on, and soon it is finished. I go into the house because I need to get something, though I don't remember what that something was because I go back outside without it. I look at the shed, the man who has been helping me says everything is all done. This isn't good… I am upset with him, I tell him he shouldn't have converted the structure into an editable poly until after I unwrap the UVW map and add the textures to it. He says I need to calm down, there is nothing wrong. I say that there is something wrong, I won't be able to add a texture to the shed now… it will all be the same dull color, which will make it unusable. He says no, all I need to do is add the new modifier to it… then add whatever textures and colors I want. I stand there for a minute, then I realize he is right, I shouldn't have gotten upset.

      Note: An editable poly is a format for 3D objects in 3D modeling software such as 3DS Max, the one I use. UVW unwrapping and a UVW map is a process used by 3DS Max or other software to place the colors and patterns in the proper places on that object… such as coloring most of a door brown for wood and then making the knob silver.


      Death Maze
      I am with a group of people and we are on the run, there are others chasing after us. The people after us are part of the mob or drug dealers or something like that, they are after us because we stole their money. We go into an old abandoned subway system in an attempt to escape our pursuers. We are going through the passages when one of the people I'm with finds a hidden passage, it had not even been visible from a distance. We get inside and head down one of the passages, but we come to a dead end… that's not good… had the entrance closed behind us? No… it hadn't. We head back for the entrance but the people after us are blocking the way, they are standing just inside the passage. Now the entrance slides closed… a lot of good that does now. One of the thugs is trying to figure out how to open the exit, the others are threatening to kill my associates and me. They are pointing guns at us, saying to hand over their money or die. We don't have the money with us. They're going to kill us all? One if them looks like he is about to fire… but he doesn't… and blood starts coming from his mouth… I look and see that a bunch of needle thin spikes are coming from the floor… and all of the thugs have been impaled. The passage is now turning, it is really disorienting… it is rotating around until it looks like we're standing on the wall and the floor is somehow up above us… the ceiling is off to the right… blades come from the walls and are cutting anything and anyone in their path… one of the men with me is caught by surprise… the blade shreds off about an inch from his back… he falls to the ground screaming in pain… the next blade removes his head. The rest of us run down the passage in the other direction, but it's a dead end… I have no idea how we are supposed to get out.
    8. The Nightmares

      by , 02-21-2011 at 03:48 AM (Siuol's Dream Journal)
      Here are some nightmares, probably not a very long list, and some dont seem particularly scary, but these freaked me out so bad a sat in a cold sweat for hours before i went back to bed. (they get worse as i get older too.)

      - Wolf dreams: the only one that repeats (very infrequently though), not as scary as the rest though, i can fall asleep after but its one of those ones where you need to force yourself awake. basically im playing alone in my backyard, close to my woods and abandoned shed and dog cage (big square of fence with a dog house in it, the dogs are now dead). then i notice the wolves. they are black, and are watching me silently with yellow eyes. its not a look of rage, or if they were stalking prey, or calm, they were eerie large eyes that never blinked and seemed to look into my soul. they would growl and i would know they were going to rip me to shreds. i would try to run, but i couldnt, my feet were rooted to the ground in terror. (the last time i couldnt move but punched one when it lunged, the other times i wake up.)

      -Deadly flowers: from this point on these are one time deal nightmares, and were bad for me, this one is from when i was little. i am spectating a man giving a woman a present from her front door. she takes it out of the box and there is a large beautiful flower with very thick leaves that seem wet. when she touches it her eyes roll back into her head untill they are completely white, her face contorts in pain, and she emitts the most bloodcurteling loud scream i have ever heard, it gave me chills and woke me up.

      -Homer simpson: in a car, backseat, homer simpson is driving. he falls asleep. but not in a normal way, his head sags back over the back of his seat, his upside down face looking into mine, with completely white eyeballs. it was so creepy, he looked dead and his white eyes and creepy round teeth added to the fact the car was going to crash made me wake up, later on i wondered why i was so afraid of a simpson.

      -What the hell is in the basement?: climb down into a basement from a latter. only a square of light from above provides a bright square of light in a black room. i see something moving. it comes closer, its a pale demon child thing, and all you need to know it was creepy. whoever was with me on top when i went into the basement alone slammed the hatch to the basement. in the darkness i woke up.

      -zombie children?: im older now, but in this dream i was a toddler again for some reason. i was with my mom when i went to a party at my friend toms house. she put me in the basement to talk to his parents, and i stayed in there behind a child proof gate with some other kids my age. i didnt know these kids but in this dream i was little and i didnt care. the kids were all quiet and huddled except for one kid in the corner. "Hi, my name is Be..." "SHHHHH!!!!". for the first time i looked at the lone child. the whites of his eyes had a sickly yellow tint to them and black pupils., he had black hair and was unnaturally pale. His blood was black, and dripping from his mouth like drool. he took strained breaths and looked up. if i could describe this kid in one word it would be rotting. he walked over and the kids were silent, unsure of what he would do. and he grabbed one, and started bitting his head. the other children screamed as the monster child bit into the kids head, taking out chunks and sending a spout of red blood out. then i woke up.

      -The serial killer: last one for this post. walking through the woods alone. its not really dark, but its dreary and eerily quiet. then i start to notice the trees, or more specifically what was on them. someone had been nailing fingernails, toenails, toes, the ends of fingers, eyelids, and other various bits of flesh and organs to the trees. then as i looked i noticed a dirty, creepy old man standing conspicuously in between the trees staring at me unblinkingly. "hey kid, watch out, someone has been killing in this part of the woods, i just found a body, want to see it?" its a dream, so for some reason i go with him without uttering a word. we go into the forest, and the trees thin a little. then lying on the ground is a mutilated corpse, the bottom part missing, entrails pouring out, a look of horror on the face as flys landed in the gaping mouth to lay maggots. i could only say "who would do this" and looked back at the man. at that point he gave me the biggest, most sinister smile, and blew out his lantern. yea thats when i woke up.

      Me and my friends take a bus to this mansion for some tug of war contest. Our vice principal is there and he turns out to be evil and working with this half head thing to take over the world. They have been breeding zombies for years in this facility by the mansion. When the zombies are released to take over the world I'm in one of the two hallways in the mansion and there are zombies swarming many people and eating them. I go into the room and lock the door and think of what to do. I jump out the window and run in the direction I see many other people running. While running I see this guy riding a bike in the snow and he almost slips but i catch him he says thanks and rides away.

      I meet up with my friends and we keep running. We get to this gate/train station of sorts and we see two doe staring out the windows toward where we came ( zombies ) with their ears flattened. This scared us because we knew the zombies would be here in a few hours after they finished eating the people they had caught. Me and my friends decided we needed to rent a car and run away. We had some money and I had a gold watch and two of us went to a hotel and one went to go find a car. In the hotel my friend said we needed to go to the store and pick up some medicine and food. I agreed but I said we could take some from the fridge and cabinets. In the cabinets there was some baby laxative and Tylenol. In the fridge there was 3 jars of different brands of peanut butter. But they weren't in normal peanut butter jars they were like in the simply orange orange juice containers. I tasted one of them that looked the best. It didn't really taste like peanut butter but it was chunky. After this I woke up.

    10. 20.2.2011: Tonights theme: zombie virus

      by , 02-20-2011 at 11:48 AM
      Dream Lucid Me DC DG?

      Dream 1
      I´m sitting on my bed, watching some videos from my computer. They´re all some horror movies and they all have zombie virus as a theme. I remember only one from this dream. (Okay, this one didn´t really have zombie virus in it.)It was about some boy who had some sort of decease which prevented him from bending his legs. (He was my cousin in the dream.) There were two guys in some maze made of hay. The other guy had a big gun. I was the other one. I left, and then saw some scenes where the other guy went back first to one of the walls, which was covered in blood. When I came back, I saw the deceased boy dancing on top of an pile of corpses (The gunman was on the top.) and saying something like "Now we´re a big and happy family forever." (Thats what kids with necronomic powers allways say in horror movies, right?) Then the dream changed.

      Dream 2
      I´m in some mansion. There´s a man in there who is blamed because he did something with bees. Later I find out that he used the bees to carry an virus of some sort. Then one of the mans in there goes crazy and shoots the beeman to the face with an shotgun. (Luckily, he only had one ammo.) Then people start to eat each others fingernails. (Well, more like fingertips. They said they have lots of lactose in them.) Thats the point where I decide to run away and never come back. When I exit the house, I see people eating dogs. (Alive dogs, that is.) I run to a tunnel. Then I suddenly remember how to exit a dream. I close my eyes and open them as fast as I can few times. Then I remember that I could become lucid instead of stopping the dream. But the dream starts to fade. I manage to stabilize it and exit the tunnel. I start to fly, but some kids fly after me saying something which I can´t remember. I send them away. Two other girls appear saying something about some sandal competion. I tell them to stop coming to me, because I want to enjoy my lucid. But as they´re turning away, I remember something again. "Unless you know where my dream guide is." ,I say to them. "Follow us." ,they say. We fly closer to the house where I left. "Patrik, come here!" ,they yell. "Is my dream guides name Patrik?" ,I ask. "No, he´s going to help you find youre dream guide." ,they answer. We land and some cartoon style japanese/chinese (Thin, eyes closed, big teeths on upper jaw, that kind of cartoon.) appears. "Follow me." he says. I follow him to a door and he opens it. All four of us step in. It´s some basement, which seems to be under construction. There´s cobwebs everywhere. There´s some pretty pale thing standing there. "Do you know where my dream guide is?" ,I ask. He just stands there. The door slowly closes behind us. I see an cardboard troll thing behind a low wall. It rises higher and higher. I get a little scared. "Don´t worry." ,Patrik says. I calm down and look at the troll. It immedietly goes back behind the wall. "Well?" ,I say to the pale thing. Still no answer. I keep the troll behind the wall by looking at it onces in a while. I start to here some music. I quess it´s supposed to be scary but it´s not. "Go through that door." ,the thing finaly says. It´s not really a door. It´s just some foam covering an hole in the wall. We pull it away, and on the other side I see an thing similiar to the one in the basement, but this one seems angry. I also see two platforms there. The angry thing says something about damn kids while I step onto the higher platform. There´s two red balls on it. But then the dream starts to fade and I wake up.

    11. African Resistance

      by , 02-20-2011 at 03:31 AM
      December 8th

      I was crawling through the streets of Africa, I was hiding from nothing. I went into a dance pad to see the girl I like in the arms of my friend. I unleashed a massive payload laying down every person in the room.
      I then escaped noticing a lot of blacks looking at me, admiring me becuase I just shot up a bunch of white dudes in the Dance Pad. The next thing I remember I was driving the car below and racing it against someone.



      As I was racing in labs, the car disappeared and I realized that I was running . Then I stopped and found my dad waiting for me in a near by bush. We went to play baseball, only to find a kid I know beating up another kid in the sandlot.

      Then the scene changes and I heard about some assassination during WW2. The guy who did this was kept in prison and died at the age of 42.

      The scene goes blank and I find myself wandering through different floors of my school. I remember entering a floor and have people yell at me saying it was forbidden.

      I enter my Spanish class and sat down with my students. My teacher said we were working in groups; so I got paired with a Devil, Zombie, and a ghoul which looked similar to the one below.


      It was crazy and I forgot to do a reality check. I ran out of the classroom and remembered drinking from a water fountain. As I was drinking I jammed the water fountain. Then it started to over flood and the water turned into eggnog and cappuccino. I remediable seeing a chess board in my dreams and playing against a man who said he was trapped in the dream world for 7 years. I immediately did a reality check but woke up instantly. This was a really crazy dream.

      by , 02-19-2011 at 09:59 PM (Short Stories with Tragic Endings)
      I am taking a nap and fall asleep

      I am playing a game where there are dungeons and such and the whole game is a massive maze.
      I go around this maze for a very long time, this is a 2 hour long dream. The character is Amaterasu
      but the game is nothing like Okami At some point, I get this power-up that allows me to duplicate my
      character or teleport it. I continue through the maze, it is quite a labyrinth, and eventually I realize
      there is a map map and every now and then I look at it and realize that I'm in a completely different
      section than I thought I was and remember. I have this icon for my character and I notice the same
      icon on other places of the map. I remember that I can switch between and that I had gotten the
      power-up that lets me teleport. I pressed some button and was able to move one of them around on
      the map. I exited the map and the character shot over to the new position. I see big blue letters on the
      screen saying 62 remaining. I was like wow, I must have built up a lot of points to get that many charges
      for this power-up. But then I got bored and stopped playing the game. I am in my room at home talking
      to my mom on the phone. I am talking with headphones I have plugged in to it and somehow my
      connectivity is shown on the computer screen. She tells me she is going to some meeting thing, I can't
      remember what its for, and she doesn't know how long it will be, but after a short conversation the call
      cuts out. I am on my computer playing some desktop defense style game and it somewhat resembles the
      map from the last game. For some reason I keep trying to get a hold of my mom. I pull down a list of
      numbers on my screen and non of them are her name. It only shows the numbers that you can connect to,
      like a wifi card would with networks. I have this strange fear of something bad happening. I try for a very
      long time to get a hold of her but the signal is just too bad. Every now and then I'll start a game, but I won't
      even finish the first round, then shut it off. I get up and go to go downstairs. Halfway out my bedroom door
      I realize my headphones are still in. I turn around, take them off, and throw them on the bed. I walk out and
      look out the window adjacent to my door. I can see flashes of blue light in the sky that indicate a storm. That
      explains to me why the phone connectivity was so bad. I walk down stairs and realize in the back of my mind
      that I am dreaming but I'm not really aware of it. I wonder, "This is a dream, my family is probably going
      to be messed up ad hostile in some way" as most of my dreams are. I walk down and my brother is standing
      in the hallway outside our computer room and my dad is doing something on his computer. My Mom is in the
      room next to that. My Dad sees me and yells "Go back upstairs!". Everyone becomes hostile as I thought and
      starts coming toward me. I am standing at the foot of the stairs but in the rec-room and my brother and mom
      advance on me. I "decide" that this would be better to handle lucid. I literally willed myself to become lucid
      and everything became extremely vivid, it wasn't a fuzzy dream to begin with, and I push everyone back with
      my mind. unfortunately, the fast transition into lucidity woke me up.
      I am laying in my bed in a very dreamlike
      state. I am disoriented and feel almost as if I am in sleep paralysis, but as soon as I realize where I am and
      what had happened, I feel no paralysis and I get up, reality check ( passes ), and I scribble down notes on the
      dream.

    13. Sinking into my bed...

      by , 02-19-2011 at 06:05 PM
      I don't even know where to begin, this has never happen to me before, not like this.... ! It was SO CRAZY .. !

      I am in a dream , sleeping .. dreaming .. turns into a nightmare , I am in this group of people going to meet the devil , but in my dream I kept referring to him as Lucifer.
      I look into the sky and there are minions flying everywhere spitting out fire balls on the ground...



      I look at the center of the field and I see this "Lucifer" being ,,
      he's dark purple in color , long black horns ,, has hooves for feet ...



      and in an instant everyone around me dies when he snaps his fingers they all burst into fire
      and die...



      I am standing alone ,, looking around at the floor ...dead bodies everywhere... Lucifer tries to take me... reaching his hand out for me,, but I don't want to go ! I won't go!



      So I'm in this dream/nightmare, but I start having conscious thoughts like when you're awake and can talk to yourself inside your mind .. I was able to do this in my dream , becoming "Lucid"
      and can hear a small voice inside me saying , "Don't panic, but.. get out of here now!!" I push off the ground and start to fly !



      I am then taken to so many beautiful scenaries , but the scene keeps changing ... fast ! I'm in one place, then another, then another ! All so beautiful !! So CAPTIVATING !
      I saw this ocean surrounded by beautiful mountains it was breath taking , I could feel myself getting too excited , I started to fly , faster .. faster and faster !



      Then ,, I started losing control of the dream a lil bit...

      I could feel my heart beat start to race really really fast ,, complete and total adrenaline rush !! I don't know if I just had the sensation of that in the dream or if that was happening in real time, real life...
      but however, just to be safe I still I thought to myself "I have to go back I don't want to give myself a heart attack in my sleep?!"



      I can feel I'm flying still (in the dream) , then all a sudden I'm in 2 places at once .. this lucid dream ,, then I can feel myself laying on my bed asleep at the same time!



      Then those visuals of flying come to an end , everything changes...



      My whole room becomes dark , (by the way my eyes are still closed , but I can still see everything with my minds eye I guess they call it )..



      So... my bed starts spinning and sinking simultaneously .. !!
      All I begin to see is me sinking further and further into my bed, like free falling down...down...down... it seemed to never stop,, I don't know if I was excited or scared, I think a little of both !



      Either-way I was getting nervous cause it felt like I was about to black out and I was afraid of where this next dream would take me ,, so I finally snap out of it and I make myself
      wake up in the physical world....



      I still have that vision in my head, the visuals were just WOW intense & mind-blowing ,, it was all so detailed, so vivid, sinking in the bed, so graphic , it's like my bed was melting into the ground ,
      I was still me I was able to have my conscious thoughts it was I guess a type of sleep paralysis , asleep , but awake at same time...

      I hadn't had a crazy dream experience in about a month and a half, I thought maybe all of it stopped , but I guess not.. this experience though , which was a lil terrifying ,
      was still kinda cool .. I think ..

    14. Dream date shows up with girlfriend

      by , 02-19-2011 at 01:19 PM (NBF's DJ)
      I'm asked out by someone who's exactly my type and I'm ecstatic about it. He kisses me and says he can't wait. When the day arrives, he shows up at the dinner place with his girlfriend, who has surprised him by dropping into town. They keep smiling dreamily at each other and can't seem to unwind their arms off each other. I know his locker is next to mine, so I'll either have to suck it up and be just friends with him and wait out the relationship, if it ends, or I'll have to give in to my feelings of jealousy and anger. The latter prove too powerful and I walk away from the situation, venting to my friend Carol from high school. I notice a lot of people staring at me, particularly men with headsets (workers on a film crew) - it's the film production department of a university. I've suddenly become the shrill, unreasonable woman who yells, to anyone within earshot, "I really thought he liked me. He kissed me and everything. And then he shows up with his girlfriend??" So Carol is continuing to try to be sympathetic, but I'm looking like comic relief and I know it.

      We go into a classroom where a well-dressed woman is sitting at a piano. I walk up and ask if I can practice singing a jazz number I know. I feel I need to do this just to feel better. She just stares, so in order to reassure her I pull the sheet music from my bag. It's at this point that she tosses me one of those icy uppercrust smiles and says, "I'm sorry. Our soloist is performing and I do have to get ready." (She'd just been sitting at the piano before I'd tried to do anything.) I say to Carol, who is seated, and for all in the room to hear, "Now, you see how that just took me down a few notches socially?" Carol and the others pretend I'm crazy. I reassure Carol, "Don't worry. This is a dream, so these people aren't actually real." Carol sinks further into her chair. "I'll prove it," I continue. "Watch this." Then I address the room: "Freeze!" Everyone freezes in their spot, including Carol. I bend forward and address Carol, "Unfreeze." She does. But others are slowly starting to unfreeze as I speak. I continue, "When the pianist refused to play my piece, especially since she did it in front of the entire room, don't you see how I was left standing foolishly and holding the bag? No one wants to acknowledge it and I don't know why, but that's the way it is. She does it because she can."

      I have to go back to my locker at that point and there's a produce aisle right near it. Dream date and his girlfriend are there, ogling. I see a note scrawled in the dust by Dream Date: "Sorry, didn't mean to hurt you. " It only makes me angrier because I know that means he knows I liked him and this means he'll never be interested in me in any case. Anyway, the last scene I remember in the dream is of me walking quickly with my head down, trying to stay ahead of the Dream Couple, bounding across stairways so I can just get to my locker before they do and get the heck out of there.

      Risperidone ran out three nights ago, so I guess the nightmares are back....

    15. I never thought I'd ride a moped

      by , 02-19-2011 at 01:05 PM
      Dream
      Lucid
      Fragments

      I am in my hometown and for some reason I'm riding a moped. I remember driving it one way up the dual carriageway but my recall is poor until my return trip. On the way back down there are some features of an american highway, concrete boundaries are on each side before the big roundabout and the traffic is much more frantic than usual. I accellerate onto the roundabout with too much speed and almost come off the road due to one of the lanes abruptly ending. I managed to stay on however and check my speed which is shown on a cross between an egg timer and a milk carton. It shows that I'm doing 50 and gaining speed fast. I try to slow down a bit but even when coasting my speed doesn't seem to be affected. On the way back down I realise there are police in front of me and that I'm reaching well over 80. Applying the brakes doesn't work but luckily I manage to naturally slow down to 50 when I reach them, assuming that the relaxed speed would draw little attention to me. I'm then aware that I've overtaken them and that a truck which was accompanying us (I have no idea why I know it's "us") is having trouble sneaking past the police, we're worried that they'll realise we gave two women a lift on the back of the mopeds earlier and arrest us. Luckily it overtakes them on the inside and somehow gets past. We're watching from the roadside. Dream ends.

      I wake up in my room at night with overwhelming fear. I have no idea why but jump up immediately and RC. My finger works its way through my hand with some effort but I am unconvinced so only become semi lucid. There is a child standing by my window and this scares me further. I run over to her and shake her, asking who she is. Upon closer inspection she is my ex's younger sister and I calm down. But then I get a bad feeling about downstairs. I open my door (which has become cupboard doors) and look down to see a baby at the bottom. Again I am inexplicably afraid of this and shout at it to go. I close the doors and open them again, repeating this shout several times. Finally I open the door and bang against the wood to scare the child off, this almost works as it backs away for an instant but I decide to escape anyway.

      I am tempted to fly jump out of my window but due to the unconvincing reality check I try hovering first, this works so I fly straight through the window, ignoring the glass. As I fly around the edge of my house I realise that the imminent danger is gone and that I should ground the dream. I closely inspect the bricks but stupidly focus on the silence of the night, this brings the ringing of my real life ears into focus and the dream collapses instantly.


      I recall a few more interesting scenarios throughout the night.

      I definitely remember having quite a detailed dream but don't record it as I attempt to DEILD or WILD. I cannot remember the main events but remember speaking to my Mum in it.

      I also remember nearly becoming lucid and frantically rubbing my hands together to bring everything into focus, I think this didn't work unless it was a prelude to the above lucid dream.

      In the last hour or so of my sleep I started telling myself "lucid dream" over and over again. I started visualising different dream scenarios and these become vivid to the point where they were no longer visualisations, yet I didn't feel I was asleep either and could have easily stopped thinking of them.

      EDIT: I think one of my vivid visualisations involved somebody cleaning a table with a spray on cleaner, the thing which prevented this from becoming a full on dream is that my finger started twitching in real life, as if I was doing the spraying myself. This made a scratching sound on my duvet and I woke up.


      Overall then a pretty successful night, I seem to be making quite a bit of progress and I put some of this down to the fact that I'm now home and therefore can get a good nights sleep and a lie in. Absolutely gutted that I broke the lucid dream, but knew this would happen at some point as I remember reading about it happening to someone else so it lingered on my mind.

      Interestingly I knew I'd LD last night because I'm home, and I know I will again tonight. I just feel strongly that practicing in such a challenging environment at Uni will make it so much easier when I'm relaxed at home.
