nightmare

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Had the intentions of getting lucid last night, but it only resulted in me talking about lucid dreaming with another DV member. I did have a cool nightmare about the end of the world. Other than that, I didn't dream much...

12.00: Bedtime

09.00: DV member at a party
I'm in a car, driving through a very nice looking neighbourhood. The lawns are green, trimmed and everything looks new. I spot a barbeque with alot of people at one house. Alot of cars are parked at the sidewalk. We go for a minute or so more, and arrive at a house. Inside there's some kind of neighbour gathering of some kind. Two guys are making a welcome drink in a large bowl. One of them is my uncle. "We do it like this, 60/60. It's going to be perfect!" he tells the other guy while pouring in a whole bottle of whiskey.

I'm in the kitchen, holding a drink myself. A guy in his mid 20's is talking to a woman about lucid dreaming. "My grandma was one of the first who registered, she's 70 years old" he says. The woman doesn't seem to care. "I have been a member for 7 years now" She walks away and I realise that the guy is actually Robot_Butler "Hey, I recognise you" I say and we start talking about lucid dreaming. He tells me about a thread he's made, and I know exactly what he's talking about. "Yeah I read that just the other day" I say.

09.00: End of the world


A massive nuclear blast appears on the horizon. I'm with Monica and two other people in the middle of the desert. "You're never going to make it" one of them says. "Goodbye" I tell them and jump up on my motorcycle. Monica gets on and we take off. I accidentaly do a wheelie but I quickly regain control. Going as fast as I can, I can hear the rumble of the explosion behind us, and I know the heatwave of it will strike within seconds. I spot a rocky area up ahead and I know it will give us cover from the intense heat. We make it in time, going down a small hollow behind some rocks just as the heatwave hits. I know that's not all, there's a shockwave coming next.

Leaving the bike, we run along the rocky area. The ground starts to vibrate, and soon it's trembling. "Do you know why it's doing that?" I ask Monica. "No..." "Well, it's because one layer of ground pushes on the next, which pushes on the next and so on" I say as we start to climb a small hill of rocks next to a white seven stories building. The ground is shaking violently now and we jump down from the hill into a courtyard. There are a few buildings just like the white one around us. "We should be safe here" I say and the shockwave hits us. The ground behaves just like water would when a wave goes through it. I ride the wave. "Wohoo".

The buildings all around us starts exploding, and glass shatters everywhere. When everything clears up, I can see that none of the houses has fallen. A large hole where the entrance should be, no windows left and most of them are crooked. We walk along the road away from the buildings. We're soon walking through a dark forest. Monica stops infront of a large pine tree with a rope ladder coming down from it. We climb up the tree, and I get this panicky feeling of being last in a dark room. Something's definitely going to grab my foot any second.

Once up, everything's very dark. We're once again back in our little tree house, trying to survive in this world filled with zombies. The tree house is a small rectangular room, only 4 x 2 meters, with a small room to the right for sleeping. A table is right infront of me with all kinds of junk on it, and there's a kitchen counter behind that. I bumb into something and Monica makes a shush. We stand completely still, listening for any sound below. She hands me a pair of black large silverware. I put them away and grab my shovel instead. It's very light.

"Get away from the hatch, if they come up, they'll see you" Monica tells me. I slowly back away, keeping my eyes on the hatch. After half a minute or so, we relax once again. I wish I was back at the house we were in before, where you could sleep without feeling anxious or afraid. I know those times are over. I hate this fucking tree house. "Hand me the gun" I tell Monica. She opens a drawer, pulling out an old revolver and carefully hands it to me. "Be careful! It's loaded" she tells me. I open it up, and is relieved to see all six bullets are still there. I am careful not to let it go off.

I realise we have to get more weapons. Only six bullets and a shovel isn't going to get us anywhere. I look out the small window. The forest isn't very thick, and ends at a lake just fifty meters away. I can see two red houses by the shore. There's a town over the water, next to a harbor. I remember there being a mall there, with glass windows. A plan quickly comes in mind. I would drive by and break a window by shooting at it. Monica would sneak in while I would honk and attract all the undead. Monica asks me if she could open a can of Sprite. "Yeah go ahead" I say. She carefully opens it with a low hiss. "Does this taste old?" she asks me. I taste it. "No it doesn't"

11.00: Fragment
*A zebra lies down at a tree, and starts giving birth. I can see a huge pink thing come out from behind. It's covered in crushed up tomatoes.

Amount of sleep: 10½ hours

Supplements before bed: 2 x Omega-3

That's it! Very cool and scary dream. Had trouble falling back asleep after that one, and the last dream I had was so weird I couldn't even recall it. Well well.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I haven't been able to remember a dream in what seems like forever, but I remembered two last night. Somehow this happened when I was on a terrible sleep schedule (accidentally napped for 2 hours, didn't go to bed until 5am), but I'll take what I can get.

1: I was going to a gigantic airport in the sky with my dorm friends and there were many sculptures suspended outside. There were minimal-to-no handrails. We got on this huge airship (I mean like a propeller-driven floating cruise ship with all the amenities) and we hung out until one of my friends in a lounge chair fell over the edge. Nobody was in the room at the time, so I had to let everybody know, except I woke up before then. Kinda depressing.

2: I was at this convention and I bought this game, then immediately warped back home where I could play it. It was pretty fun: there was an underground level where you had to find things with a metal detector but you could only move slowly, and there was a level where you could grind on the rails of a rollercoaster. The intro took place in a colorful half pipe. The controller looked like that of a Dreamcast. The game even had an option for content unlockable with a copy of a Ratchet and Clank game. I had to keep the system hidden, though, because nobody knew I had bought it.

Also, I tried to WILD after the nap. I could feel SP happening, but then I did RCs and I was still awake.

You know, I have a lot of zombie dreams. Good stress reliever?

The House of the Dead -I found myself in some sort of giant mansion. It was sunny outside and I was wondering what was going on. I had an M1 Garand and a boatload of ammunition. I kind of took this as a sign that there was going to be trouble. As I explored the house I started to hear these load moans coming from outside. Just then I turned the corner and I saw the front of the house being invaded by the undead! Some zombies, some completely rotted and simply skeletons. When they saw me they screeched at me and the skeletons could sprint! I sighted up and began shooting, aiming for their heads. I walked backwards and retreated around the corner as I got one, two, three, four.. and they kept coming! I ran back down the hallway and killed the last few runners and then I had to deal with the slow zombies. They were very easy, and soon the entrance to the house was clear. I decided to go outside, as being cooped up in a house alone, it was only a matter of time before they got me or I ran out of ammo. I ran outside and was about 20 feet outside of the house, looking around. I was surrounded by vast gardens, but there was some sort of an enclosure to my left. As I looked around, a group of undead appeared right next to me, and a skeleton was withing breathing distance. Thankfully in the dream I had my size and height I do in real life, and I stood head over shoulders to them. I spun quickly and rammed the butt of my rifle into it's jaw, breaking the jaw and sending the skeleton to the ground. I quickly shot it and zig-zagged my way through the group of slow moving zombies that remained. I ran up some stairs to the large enclosure I noticed. It was very strange, it was about as large as 6 football fields, and there was a group of about 30 survivors with an ammo dump near the back of it! However, there was several thousands zombies slowly making their way into the enclosure, and the survivors were doing what they could to kill them. I was trying to get to them, but there were zombies on the pathway I was taking. I sighted up and began shooting, taking out most of them before they could turn to shuffle towards me. I began slowly making my way down the pathway killing as many as I could, until I ran out of ammo. Now I simply had the gun. I charged into the last group, swinging my rifle into their jaws and being careful about their bites as I began picking them up and throwing them off the pathway I was on. Finally it was clear to get to the group, and when I got to them they had split into four teams. I ran by each team and they seemed glad to see another survivor like themselves. Two teams were on the left pathway, above the main grounds, and two teams on the right. They were slowly being overrun! I ran to the ammo dump, grabbed as much ammo as I could for the M1 I currently had, and decided to grab a Thompson machine gun just in case. I ran to the right side, and for some reason they were just sitting there! A zombie had managed to get right behind one of the men, and was going in for the kill. I sighted up quickly and shot twice, killing the zombie and saving the man. It seems that woke the teams up, and we began trying to take as many zombies as we could with us. It was obvious we would not make it.

The next thing in the dream I remember is everyone being dead, and flames everywhere, destroying the garden. I was the last one, and using the Thompson to mow down as many as I could. I stood by the ammo dump as they came at me from both sides, and there was still several thousand zombies. At that point I woke up.

So what happened was I was around where my parents live and it almost looked like around sun set. I was confused on how I got there because I live so far away from them now, but I walked in and noticed a huge tree in the center of the living room. The tree had a gash on the base that probably covered about half of it. I didn't think much of it for some reason but I continued to the upstairs (which my parents house in reality does not have) and it was very dark up there. I walked around as if I knew where everything was and how to get to where lighting was but then I noticed something on a balcony. There was an old woman standing there with her mouth sewn shut and begging me to open it. So, I opened it with a pair of scissors that was conveniently located on the ground beside her. I cut off her stitches and she told me to beware of the tree in the basement. So i was starting to freak out a little at this point and then out of no where a shadowy hand reaches out of the darkness and grabbed the woman by her face and dragged her into the house. I ran after her but I could not find her. So I ran down stairs to look at the tree (for some stupid reason) but I felt like I couldn't control my body. I grabbed a sword and started cutting at the tree, making the gash that was already in it even larger. The next thing I knew I was out on the road and was terrified. I kept saying to myself that I needed to be in the light or it would get me. I still don't know what I meant by "It". Then all the street lights went out and the next thing that happened was that I was on a show, it was either the Dr. Phil show or Dr. Oz. and there were so many lights on me that I felt blinded. there was no chance a shadow was even within 10 feet of me that's how scared I was. Then ( of course) the lights went out and I started to scream. the lights came back on and I was missing an arm. The pain felt so real that I just wanted to die. I woke up after that and my arm was really hurting, it went away after about a half hour but I didn't fall back asleep that night.

PART LUCID LUCID NIGHTMARE FALSE AWAKENING
NOTE: Please read to the end, it gets alot more exciting when the nightmares come. If you have a short attention span just skip to the big red nighmare at the bottom.
This is my third lucid since joining dream views. I wasnt the most lucid Ive had but it was by far the most vivid.
I started off walking through a quiet part of a small town with a very warm climate. The whole dream had a pleasant, warm orange tone.Suddenly I realised I was dreaming. As the thought echoed through my mind a huge wave of vividity swept through intensifying everything around me. I didnt need to do a reality because I was sure it was a dream. All of my muscles and senses felt like I was really using them. Most importantly I felt like I was seeing through my eyes and not just my head. It was extremely vivid.I walked around in the town I created and in my excitement pulled a big smile at a nearby dream character. She was young and wearing a red jumper. She looked slightly confused but just smiled back at me.
I began to explain lucidity to her when suddenly some friends of mine appeared out of no-where. Sadly I hadnt thought about lucid goals for a while in waking life, so I just began to impress my friends with some lucid flying. They were slightly impressed but not as much as they would be in real life.
We then began to walk very quickly and ended up in a huge shopping center (mall). There were hundreds of people all moving around briskly so we carried on through the crowds and then we were in a school. (I had two more dreams about this school later on, but they are incredibly boring so I am not going to write them down)
I was about to think about my lucid goals when a teacher asked me to help him carry some tables. I lost lucidity slightly and gladly agreed to help him. I set the table down in the classroom he had specified and regained full lucidity! "Hmmm now, what was it I wanted to do? Ah yes, I wanted to get to the lucid crossroads" I thought. So I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was in a very dark nightmarish room just like the one I was in previously. It scared me so I closed my eyes again and opened them in my room.
I was convinced this was realitly. Just to be sure I did the nose plug reality check about eight times and it worked EVERY SINGLE TIME. I still didnt realise it was a dream. What a numskull. So I grabbed my dream journal and decided to write down my lucid. I began when for some reason my journal turned into a ping pong ball. "It's normal to write down dreams on ping pong balls" I thought. I repeatedly felt like I was asleep with my eyes open, which should have told me this was a false awakening but it didnt.
Next came some very odd visions. I wouldnt call them dreams because they had nothing to do with me. Be prepared, this may give you nightmares. I saw images of fat people waking up into the most horrible sleep paralysises I had ever seen. They were shaking violently and frothing at the mouth. They then appeared to become possessed. They let out horrible noises and their eyes went completely white before growing huge. They were experiencing a lot of pain and were shaking very much.

I then woke up for real.What was this? Was something trying to tell me something like you really do get possessed when experiencing SP? Also, I read that you can only dream about yourself. These people had nothing to do with me. Damn! I cant have a lucid without weird false awakenings!

Enjoy!
this dream was non-lucid.

Hours of sleep: 11 hours.

Heartbreak and insects.


I awoke, I was in a form of jungle, inside a small glass house, like a hamsters cage. With my boyfriend matt. I can remember him transforming into a massive golden spider, Labrador colour + feel. My view changed, I was next to a crazy woman with goggles on her head, and a gun in her hand, my boyfriend (as a spider) was running throughout some transparent pipes through the jungle, the pipes ended as he roamed free. The woman shot at him, but a bullet didn't come out, it was in fact a tube to catch him. He was trapped inside of it of course. I ran up to him asking all the doctors which had gathered round to let him go.
my minds gone totally blank and I cant remember anything after that, but some how chocolate is coming into my mind... I then remember crying, but because earlier on last night (not in the dream) my boyfriend matt had finished me. so technically he's my ex-boyfriend. Now my minds faded sorry. I cant remember anything!

notes: I don't know whats happened, i woke up remembering everything but then all of a sudden I can't remember... :/

There was a portion early on in my dream where I was using my computer. For some reason, one of the video cards burned out and whenever I plugged it in the computer crashed. One of my programmer friends was sitting next to me trying to help me figure out the problem. Never did thought as the scene turned into the core of the death star from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The energy core was shot and began to explode as I fly out of the chamber into the long corridor to the surface. Zerg Mutalisks were hot on my tail most of the way out. I got out of the death star, but it never exploded. Memory fades around this point.

Another portion of the dream: I was dead, or dying or something. There were funeral preparations going on... for me! I was really scared, but I don't remember much from this dream. It's really too bad I couldn't get lucid at this point.

Last dream Very Disturbing: I was babysitting some kid who's mom I apparently knew. The kid kept sneaking red ants into the house via cups with dirt. I kept grabbing the cups and emptying them outside, but on one of these trips, I got stopped by the police. Apparently they were gonna execute me summarily. (Continuation of the last dream maybe? Even though they were in 2 separate REM cycles) My family eventually appeared and were confused but complying with the police. I was PISSED at this point. The officers began to talk to me, in fluent Spanish (which I cannot speak or understand in real life) telling me the process leading up to my execution. I began hurling every verbal incendiary I could at everyone around me because NOBODY was defending me. I had almost given up, when (Starcraft again.. surprise surprise) Protoss warriors swept into the scene and began carving up everyone who wanted me dead. They kept saying I was the 'chosen one from the prophesy' or something, I didn't care. All I cared about was that I wasn't going to die. I even joined in, destroying the ones who wanted to destroy me. It was a bloodbath towards the end, everyone around me except for me, my family, and the protoss, were dead.

Then I woke up.

Eu estava em algum tipo de auditório (lembro que Vinícius F e Gabriel H estavam também). A princípio, teríamos uma aula de violino coletiva.
Em um momento, chegou um pequeno garoto coreano com dois cases de violino. Um tipo de mordomo colocou os cases em cima de um piano que tinha no auditório e pegou os violinos, para ver qual o garoto escolheria. Os instrumentos eram muito bonitos e aparentemente muito caros. Muitos se levantaram de seus assentos para vê-los.
Após algum tempo de espera, uma orquestra comecou a se apresentar, tocando a música Cavalaria Rústica. Comentei com Vinícius que essa era uma música muito boa.
Como se estivessemos em uma TV, a "câmera" mostrou várias pessoas fantasiadas de Batman na plateia. Depois, eu estava na orquestra, tocando junto com eles.
Quando acabou a apresentação, só havia eu no local. Vi uma mulher levitando atrás de umas cortinas. Peguei um alfinete e joguei nela. Nesse momento, as cortinas abriram e percebi que a mulher era uma armadilha, e que havia uma criatura com vários tentáculos, que tentava me pegar. Lembro-me que a distância que seus tentáculos chegavam era até dois metros e meio palmo.
Comecei a correr e, ao sair do auditório, percebi que eu estava no colégio. A criatura continuava a me perseguir. Eu estava com medo de o portão do colégio estar trancado, mas consegui abrí-lo. Ao sair, tomei o caminho que me levaria até em casa.
De repente, acordei, com o coração disparado. Havia uma senhora sentada na minha cama, me observando. Perguntei se ela havia algo a comentar (ela era provavelmente uma psicóloga, e estava observando meu sonho). Perguntei se havia algum motivo para eu ter sonhado com uma apresentação para um público grande, depois me apresentar para um público vestido de Batman e depois me deparar com aquele monstro. Ela disse que aparentemente não, e se dirigiu para a cozinha.
Depois de alguns segundos sentado na minha cama, resolvi seguir ela. Quando eu estava no corredor que levava para a cozinha, meu irmão disse "Ó, o monstro ta ali do lado!". Eu percebi que era a senhora, e não o monstro. Peguei ela (nessa momento, ela virou um saco de pão) e mostrei-a para o meu irmão, dizendo: "Não é o monstro. Mas eu devo estar com o rosto todo vermelho, por que eu to morrendo de medo.".

Lunatic girlfriend and her lunatic brother
Trying not to be spotted by some lady I know. I run and turn left on a corner of a street, but she spotted me at the very last minute and follows me. I then jump to top of the building and hover from roof to roof, trying to escape her, but she also has the ability to fly and keeps following me.
Then dream transforms and we’re inside her house. She is now a girl in her 30’s and I’m her boyfriend. I’m running from her because she is totally mad and wants to kill me. I go from room to room, in this very long endless house, but exit door is still far. She is about to catch me, when I enter a room where her very old aunt sleeps in bed and I hide from her by lying down on the bed too, covered with the blankets. But she finds me and gets me out of it. She has a huge scissor in her hands and she wants to stab me. She is mad, crying, accusing me of abandoning her. I have no chance, so I use reverse psychology and tell her I’m running because she is looking mad with the scissor on her hands, but that I really love her and want to stay with her. She drops the scissor and says “Really?”. “Yes, in fact I love you so much we should marry!” And she becomes quite another person, a beautiful sweet lady and I honestly feel love for her. I convince myself if I don’t do anything wrong, she won’t explode and it might work. But when we’re hugging, she wakes up from this trance, grabs the scissor again and recalls “Wait... You started running away from me before I started chasing you! Were you trying to leave the house? You bastard!” Oh no! I have to run again for my life. When I reach the kitchen, there’s a window opened through which I escape to outside. Her brother is just arriving and seeing this scene. He is a big muscled guy and he is just as nuts as she is. She screams at him, telling him I’m abandoning her and he threatens me saying he is going to find me wherever and kill me.
I decide to go stay with my mother. She works for some important politician, so I go meet her at her work place, like the parliament or something similar - it’s a palace. When I arrive there, there was an horrible accident (was it?) – she slipped on top of a stone staircase, she bumped with her head on a stone fountain and tumbled down the stairs. She was a mass of blood and broken bones. She was still alive and mumbled some words. I have a vision of the lunatic brother of my lunatic girlfriend grinning and saying he is going to make my life a living hell.

“Corrida” and sexy girl
I’m with my mom caught in the middle of some "bulls running" event (corrida) at night. There are 4 enclosures – one with bulls and three others connected, with people. They are waiting for the bulls to be loose to run along with them and bully them. [I grew up watching these things in the nearest town, where it is tradition, but I always hated it and today I’m totally against these kind of animal abuse. People act moronic on these events and call themselves brave for beating and driving a poor animal crazy.]
They are about to lose the bulls on our enclosure and so they ask people there if they are ready. I say no, to please wait, because we’re there by mistake. But they think we’ve chicken out and try to convince us to stay. I say that I stay if they let my mom go out. They give us some seconds and I try to rush my mom out, but we have to climb the fence and she’s not very energetic, but one bull is getting closer to us. He is not enraged, he is walking slowly, but he clearly will hit us with a blow from his head if we don’t move fast. I have to do some acrobatics to escape on time. Outside the fence we meet my BF. We pass in front of some bleachers full of spectators and everybody is very excited about something. We look up and we see a very hot girl in tiny outfit cheering for something. Both people on the bleachers and people on the ground are drooling at her. She has nice boobs and she is pretty, I admit it. She makes me fell ugly. Even some Hollywood star that is around – I think might have been Angelina Jolie, but can’t recall for sure – is looking jealous at that girl. I then smile – we women are never happy to find a woman that is hotter than us J

Evil twin cat and evil bird
At home with my cat. Some cat apparently looking just like him comes in and my cat attacks him. I try to split them up and then I see this other cat is like his evil twin. Just like him, but with one big eye, with no eyelids, ocular globe is transparent and the pupil is red. He also has a deformed leg covered in greyish crusts. He looks ugly and evil. But then the cat just leaves the room looking so sad and lonely that I feel extreme compassion for him. I realise maybe he is not evil, just ugly as hell, so I grab my cat and let the other come in again. But the poor cat does indeed emit some bad vibes. But it’s not his fault, it’s like this role was imposed on him, but he just wants to be loved. Anyway, he is not used to have normal relationship with people and other cats, so he is always causing trouble and freaking me out by sneaking behind me with the “evil” eye. He gives me the creeps. I try to find out where does he come from and find a box at my door, where he came from. The box is very small, but when I pick him up to put him inside it, he gets shrunk to the size of a trinket and becomes inanimate. So I decide to keep him locked there. Unfortunately, when I opened the box, some small bird statuette, which was also inside, gained life and escaped. It’s such a tiny bird and I don’t worry, but when I’m outside in the street, talking to someone, the crazy bird starts attacking us and follows us everywhere.

Stopping tsunamis
I’m with some girl friends doing something on some terrace with a view to the ocean. They say something about how nice the place is and I joke saying “Let’s hope there’s no tsunamis hitting!”. When I say this, a giant wave forms and is heading to land. They freak out but I feel this is a dream and I get lucid. I tell them not to worry, because I will work my magic. I stop the water by pointing the palm of my hand towards it, like Neo did with the bullets. More waves form, bigger and scarier, but I get to stop them all. Then I don’t recall very well, but I think more things were thrown at us, because I remember blowing up a few things in the air with my thought, to protect us. Then some kids playing on the beach come to me, I’m their new hero and they ask me all sort of questions like how did I do it, if they can learn to do the same. Then they ask if I can make appear things and I say yes, although not all the time. I ask if they want me to make appear something and some funny kid asks for a pool of mud and mango.”I’m sorry, what? Mud and mango? What for?”, ”I don’t know, can you make it?”, “Why not, let’s try.” So I concentrate on creating a pool of mud and mango. This amuses me a lot. It works and the kids jump all happy on this pool with a green-yellowish goo in it. They seem to be having fun and I decide to go inside it too. It feels nice and I think “Well, it must be good for the skin!”, so I spread this greeny mud on my arms. I think about doing something else more productive with my lucid, but I sense it is weak and as soon as I try something not so “dream-like” I will probably wake up, so I just enjoy the lucid mud bath until I woke up.

Waking Nomad posts
Just a brief recall of navigating on the web and finding a website where Waking Nomad was posting regularly and I wondered why he is not posting on DV for some time now if he does post somewhere else. [Not that it would be my business to know... lol]

Interrogated by a “doctor”
At my grandma’s house, with my mom and some lady doctor around the kitchen table. The doctor is telling me the results of my lab tests indicate I have had recently a viral infection. I tell her those are not news, because since the last 3 years all my tests have shown the same. For sure it is no viral infection or else it is a chronic one. She is surprised to know that and then she asks all sort of questions: if I feel sleepy during the day, if I have a really busy schedule, if my work is stressful, but then she starts asking things about my work, the NGOs I work for and I wonder where she is going with that and why is that relevant for my diagnosis. I get up, considering this conversation is over, but my mom, who now reveals not to be my real mom, but some older lady I’ve never seen before, is telling how we are poor and she gets food from the food bank everyday to keep me going but she fears I’m not having the right nutrition. I am now feeling this is definitely not my life because I know who I am in RL. Don’t have time to become lucid though, because I wake up.

Real life Dream Lucid Nightmare Dream sign
For me to remember, dreams are #067300, and lucid dreams are the color below blue, #4169e1. Nightmares are dark red, #8b0000, and dream signs are the light purple, which is up one and left one from blue, #483d8b.

Sweet! I stopped a nightmare with a lucid dream! Harry Potter seems to be a recurring theme these last two nights.

Harry Potter Nightmare

I was Harry Potter. I was being moved to my house from somewhere else because Voldemort was growing stronger and it was more dangerous. I was with the Order of the Phoenix.

We took off, and immediately Death Eaters fired spells at us that turned limbs into fruit. None of us got hit but Hagrid, in the face. Because of his half-giant genes, he didn't die because of his head being a pineapple or something, he just had a sliver of skin turn green from between his nose and eye down to his chest. He grew more sinister.

We lost them and landed at Hagrid's shack. There was me, Lupin, and Hagrid. There was a Death Eater tied up. We were interrogating him. After a few moments Hagrid began approaching the Death Eater intending to eat him. This was began his fruity affliction messing with his head. He kept making excuses to eat him. ("Just one bite!", "No, I'm not getting closer, you're just seeing things!", "Just let me eat him!")

Lupin knew it wasn't safe so he gave me three purses with important items inside them and apparated me to my house. I was alone. I smelled the air and sighed of relief. "Home sweet home," I said to myself.

I looked inside one of the purses and hid the other two, just incase. I saw an iPod Touch. I took it out, zipped the purse, and then hid it. I looked through the apps on it, and saw an app called Remus1422. I opened it and saw a bunch of cryptic messages in letters and numbers. This had to be the secret way the Order would communicate with me. I couldn't figure them out.

I heard a soft noise from outside. Oh no. What if Voldemort knows I'm here? I hurried to the garage, closed the door, and locked it. I prayed that the sound was a false alarm and not Voldemort, because I was totally alone. I waited. Suddenly I heard a noise. I turned towards the closed garage door and Voldemort, laughing, was sliding through the bottom with use of magic. Already half of his head was into the garage. I panicked.

What do I do?! Wait a minute... I'm dreaming! I got excited, and felt a rush inside me. I pointed at Voldemort's head, now inside the garage up to his neck, and yelled "Die!", and his head promptly fell off. I was so happy with myself that I opened my eyes in real life on accident and the dream faded to reality. I was awake, at 2:52 AM.

I am happy with myself. I stopped my nightmare! Although I woke up anyway, I wasn't afraid. I would have not been able to get back to sleep for hours, or maybe even all night, if I hadn't turned lucid and prevented the nightmare.

I'm fighting or running from something. At first it's just a black dog that keeps biting me and I keep trying to take it off me or break his neck. The girls from inside the house leave me alone. He bites harder into my leg or arm. I finally succeed to rip its body apart and throw it. An old lady in the corner of the street says it will come back, stronger, darker, as a boar. A man who is followed by death like in the Final Destination movie enters the house.
I get to a bar and sit at the table with C. and C. There is a lot of smoke. I tell them the smoke is a very very bad sign.
I'm living with my cousin in a trailer at an intersection. She sometimes goes out in the street dressed in the pijamas. I change myself inside.
I tell myself "How real, how alive this dream feels!". My cousin and my aunt are with me. I know it is a dream, I think I fell asleep near them, so I tell them to wake me up, just a bit, to wake me up so I can gain control of the dream and that's all. They don't answer. I keep telling myself, Maria, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Maria. I can't get control like this. I feel IT coming. I can't transform IT. I start running up a hill, climbing houses, doors. It follows me everywhere, it bites my feet.
It keeps getting bigger and I keep getting smaller in my parent's room. It transforms. I can see it will become something big, so I try to turn myself into an elephant. I can't. It becomes an american helicopter. It shoots me. I think that if it kills me, I would wake up, so it's ok. It doesn't even hit me. My parents are in their bed. My mum comes at me to check who I am with a knife. There may be blood on it. I climb to the roof, to the dark night sky that is full of stars. I tell myself "It's the sky, Maria, I can control the dream!"

"Invasion Evasion"

(I watched Skyline, for the first time, last night. It was an 'ok' movie, but the visual effects were tight as hell.)
The earliest thing I remember was being in a camp-like atmosphere, with a few friends, in a trailer. Someone had a dog; like a lab mix or something, and I was playing with her, rubbing her belly. After a short while, the dog began to get really agitated and started glaring at the door. Some creepy shit happened, where a person came to the door and then turned into an alien, and we had to escape the trailer. I believe we pushed the creature into the bonfire and burned it, but this part is all really hazy. Soon after, I was alone, and running through the streets. The major attack had already begun, and there were larger aliens - dozens of stories tall - walking amongst the buildings and roadways. The city was completely destroyed and, no matter where I went or tried to hide, these things would always find me. The creatures that were too big to fit inside the buildings, would send out these long tentacles (like the ones in the movie), and snake them through the buildings to find me. I ended up dying, over and over, in this dream. Every time the tentacles would find me, they would either pull me back into the main body of the alien, or just splatter me all over the place, wherever I had been hiding.

After respawning a couple of times, I knew I had to get out of the city, so I began to make a bee-line toward the edge of town, sprinting as long and hard as my body would allow me - and I remember being able to run for miles, without losing steam. But these tentacles were relentless. An alien could shoot the tentacles from its "hand", and the rope-like appendages would literally travel for miles - seemingly to endless distances - through the air, to chase their target. Again, I died quite a few times, while trying to escape the city; simply respawning again at the beginning and continuing to run, taking another route. There were times that I would try to steal cars, and some of them would have this "gunk" on them. Whenever I drive those cars, the "gunk" would begin to spread around the outside of the vehicle, trying to 'cocoon' itself in this alien sludge. I would see this happening and have to bail out of the car, before it completely encased me. What's more, is that some of these droplets of "gunk" would actually spring to life, and form whole aliens - each maybe 10 feet tall and built like bipedal elephants - which would then join the chase. Running from these things kind of felt like maneuvering through the game Prototype.

It was like I was the only person in the city, and this entire alien force was centered on me, the whole time. There were just so many of them, and I was beginning to feel hopeless. After having to repeat this scenario, over and over, upon each death, I just wasn't feeling very confident that I would ever get out of this Hell. Suddenly, thankfully, just as despair was kicking in, I realized that this all had to be a dream. I was still on the run, though, as these things just weren't letting up, and anytime they would catch me, they would just annihilate me before I could do anything about it. Still respawning after each death, I took to flying, instead of running. It took me a little while to get up to speed, in my flying, as this dream was very vivid, and I was having a hard time manipulating it. I tried some telekinesis on the pursuing tentacles, but wasn't able to affect them.

Once I got the hang of flying, though, the flight/chase sequences were absolutely sick. The easiest way I knew to keep my speed up, was to imagine myself as a missile. The thing was, though, that these tentacles were just as fast, so just because I could fly, didn't mean that I was getting out of the city an easier. I was empowered by my lucidity, though, and was more having fun with it, than frantically fleeing for my life. I weaved through the city at breakneck speed, an expanding trail of tentacles, following closely behind me. It was one of those zigging, zagging, dizzying, high-tech chases that you would see in any major, sci-fi blockbuster - just screaming through the sky, with impossible agility. Sometimes I would land on the street, to gain my bearings - pivoting and then launching off in another direction, just as the tentacles whipped passed me and then arced around to follow once again. I remember being chased at just the same height of some of the tallest rooftops, and then dropping toward the ground, head first, to try to throw off the oncoming appendages. I was going so fast that there was a single moment, there, where I worried about 'what happens if I'm not able to pull up, in time?' Even though I knew that I was dreaming, I wasn't really looking to slamming headfirst, into the street, so I pulled up on my own trajectory, as I could, nearly skimming the ground and then continuing to rocket down the street, the tentacles still keeping pace at every twist and turn. I also recall that the aliens could talk, and they all spoke with the same voice - as if it were a collective consciousness - which reminded me something of the Joker, from The Dark Knight.

I don't really remember whether or not I ever made it out of the city. I don't think so, though.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING PRECOG SHARED
1:00 GMT

Stabbed to gain control over fear and pain
I am in some apartment building apparently coming out of my cousin’s home. She has something weird about her look, like dyed hair or extreme make-up. She goes downstairs but I feel more interested in following a corridor that seems to connect to a different partof the building or even a twin building. I then have fun exploring these connections - I go from corridor to corridor, explore different levels by taking the stairs sometimes. Every block is of a different colour or has different tiles on the wall, but it’s getting boring so I try to look for an exit.I’m a bit lucid. I look at a map on the wall, trying to locate myself, when some guy offers his help and tells me to just follow him. I do so and he leads me out. Outside, it’s a city street, looks like London and he meets a bunch of friends he was with before. They are making plans for next steps and they divide in two groups. I stick with the guy’s group, a small one – 2 guys and a girl. I don’t know where they are taking me. A bit further down, when we’re around some ugly buildings of a bad neighbourhood, the guy draws a knife and he wants to stab me in my belly. I am aware it’s a dream, but still, I shriek at the thought of feeling a knife slashing my flesh. They say “Don’t be afraid!” and I’m like “What’s wrong with you?” So just when they are about to stab me I say “Sorry, I don't want to be stabbed, I’m going to wake up!”. I wake up but I still had a brief moment when I could feel the knife cutting through my flesh. I felt discomfort and I was awake for a while...
When I go back to sleep I am again in the same city and they are still around waiting for me. What the hell? I felt like I was going through a Freddy Krueger’s nightmarish type of thing. I ran away, I zig zagged between buildings, trying to lose them. I laid low behind a building and a concrete wall, where people threw garbage and I lost lucidity for a few moments. I got distracted with all the clothes and bags perfectly good that were thrown away. I am considering taking them with me to give away to people who need it, but suddenly I see my chasers about to find me and I instantly get back to the action. I run again but eventually they cut my way through, as they knew a shortcut through some tunnel. They grab my arms and the guy is once again about to stab me and he swears “It won’t hurt!”. I first thought he was just being psychotic, but now I have this clear feeling they were also lucid dreamers or some dream beings who were just testing me and trying to teach me something. Their attitude changed slightly when I opened myself to them. The guy said to me “It only hurts if you believe so. I’m telling you it won’t hurt if you don’t give in to fear.” Oh, so that was it? I was still a bit afraid, I was actually already feeling the pain again, just by thinking of it, so I told him ”OK, but let me do it to myself. And can I stab my leg instead? Just to try?” “OK”, he said. So I stabbed my leg and I was amazed that it felt like stabbing styrofoam. I could feel it buried in the flesh but it didn’t hurt. I was starting to lose fear and thinking about stabbing myself a bit more (lol). They smiled at me and simply left.

Female robot and androids
I am now free to do whatever. I look around and I am in some industrial park or similar. I see a huge robot-like metallic structure rising above the houses and go check it from a safe distance, because it starts to move its arms. Below it and around are people watching some demonstration of its functioning. It’s made of hollow metallic tubes that shape it slightly into a female form and some of this tubes are then channelled to some interface where half a dozen women are plugged in, apparently controlling or feeding this robot. The creator of this machine is explaining how it works and what it does, but then all the focus goes to one of these females who detaches from the interface. I find out these are not real women, but androids. Lots of flashes in her direction, reporters asking questions and the inventor says she can even speak Russian. He ask if any Russian speaking is around and some guy points to a girl by my side, but in the middle of the crowd we get mixed up and they bring me closer to the android. I say there’s been a mistake, I can’t speak Russian, it was some other girl, but the android lady is looking at me totally interested. She seems to think I am lying and she is processing that information and trying to figure out my intentions. She says she wants to meet me and asks me for my contact. I don’t recall even handing her over my contact, but I see her adding my email and name to her processor/brain – like if she just extracted it from my mind and I was reading the info on her eyes as she was processing it. Then she turned away and left, followed by a sea of curious people and reporters.

Office scene
I remember maybe it’s time to meditate a bit, but I can’t find peace, there’s just too much going on and I can’t make it still. Then I think about dropping a visit to Nighthawk’s dreams. I am now in a corridor with doors to offices. I see elevators and decide using one as a portal, but every time I try to get into one, someone holds the door and enters. I even try to do it with some suit guy by my side looking at me like I’m crazy, but it doesn’t work ‘cause he totally distracts me. I give up on elevators and try to use the office doors instead. The problem is they have glass windows and I can see the other side, so I have once again difficulties in making appear a different world on the other side, because I keep seeing the people working inside the office. When I open the door, it is still an office. Oh well... I just look around, checking every person on each cubicle. Mostly very young people. It’s a nice office, light coloured wood furniture, glass walls, lots of light. I go to the end of it and I find a window to a square interior patio, with view to all floors. I notice the building’s decoration is quite nice and then I see a corridor through which the company’s CEO, a tall slim lady in her 40’s, is coming in my direction. She sees me there and asks me what I think of the place. I say it’s nice and I like the carpets on the hallway. She invites me for a drink in her office and we sit and talk there for a while.

Lottery
Just recall my mom had a good prize in the lottery and I clearly recall the numbers. Will suggest her to make a bet

6:30 GMT

I dreamt that my whole grade was in the main school hall, and we were forced to watch some electrical safety video.

It was supposed to convey its message by being shocking and violent. Like those drink driving ads.

It showed a baby next to some water that was touching something electrical, so when the baby touched the water it started to spaz out and get electrocuted. Then another baby next to the first one placed its hand on the other baby and was getting electrocuted too.

It was awful.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Had a very eventful night, with lots of dreams. I woke up at 06.00 with the intentions of doing a WBTB. I ended up falling asleep without taking the G+C pill, and woke up at 8.00 again. I figured it would be a waste to take the pill so I didn't. My dreams have been filled with holes lately. As soon as I wake up, I have to struggle to remember them, and when I do, they are filled with holes. I guess it's just a phase which will pass.

00.30: Bedtime

06.00: 5 minutes WBTB

08.00: Civilization
I'm flying out in space at an incredible speed. I'm not sure if I was lucid or how I started flying. Mars is closing in on me, but when I get close, it is replaced by Jupiter. A narrator voice starts talking. "Mars position in the solar system has been temporarily switched by Jupiter's" I fly towards the big planet. As I get closer I get a brilliant idea. "I'll use the planet's gravitation to go back to earth!" I crash into the planet near the edge (which is now only a disk the size of a room) and my momentum makes it spin around.

I'm stuck to it by the gravitation. And when I see earth infront of me I push away as hard as I can. I quickly reach earth once again and I can see huge landmasses below. South America has a very edgy look to it, and I realise it must be man made. The buildings lining the shore makes a very cool pattern from way up. Suddenly I'm talking to the Aztec chief and I'm showing him a map of what I've just seen. He is pleased. Everything is seen from above. Just like in the game Civilization.

There's just one more space left at a dock. I tell my brother Martin to start a settlement there. "USA will take this spot if you don't, and they control the whole damn world now!" The dream changes to a first person perspective.
I'm standing infront of a conveyer belt leading into a hatch. A guy is operating the hatch with a lever, and he's cutting up pieces of pink soap. A rabid wolf appears behind the hatch and is trying to get through.

The guy holding the lever gets very frightened and runs off. The wolf gets through with its head, biting the air. A strange dwarf jumps down from the ceiling and grabs the wolf's head. With a snap the wolf is dead. Everyone cheers and the dwarf is rewarded some prize for his heroic actions.

08.00: Chinese food
I'm sitting in a very oldschool car with Monica. It's raining heavily outside and we've just ordered Chinese food. We get out of the car and enter the restaurant. We get in the pretty long line of people. A guy infront of me turns around. "Hey Matteh! Great night last night, wasn't it?" he says and shakes my hand. I don't recognise him at all, but I play along, feeling uncomfortable. The guy next to him does the exact same thing, and I don't recognise him either.

I try to remember what kind of party I had attended, but fail. "A kickass one obviously if I can't even remember" I think. It's our turn to buy the food, and it's already waiting for us in those white, styrofoam boxes. I take a look at the menu and everything looks delicious. There's a dish with a red X on it, and I can see it involves some kind of Chinese gambling on a machine.

08.00: Back in class
I'm at my cousins place, holding five empty glass bottles. I enter their bathroom hall. It's got grey tiles everywhere and is pretty narrow. I spot several reinforcing bars sticking out of the wall. "Haha as usual" I think and open a few drawers. There's no room in any of them and I close them again. I walk out into another room and I totally forget about the bottles as the dream changes. I walk into a classroom filled with my old class.

"Hey Mathilda, can I have a few papers please?" She looks at me and whines a bit, but gives me a folder. I walk up to the teacher. It's my old history teacher. "Can I have four papers please?" I ask him. I intend to draw some. I head for my spot and there's a guy sitting there. "Hey can you move?" I ask him. "It's not your spot" he tells me. I can see my name on the bench in a black marker. It's a bit to the left, which is empty. I sit down and whine a bit to get some reactions from a douchebag.

08.00: Fragment
*I'm playing some kind of real life game, with Barney from "How I met your mother" The game is obviously to control him, and do whatever you want. I get alot of chicks to fall in love with me. Monica tells me she was together with him for a few months a few years ago.

09.30: Poisonous spider
I'm looking at a picture of an enormous red and black spider sitting in a web. The usual narrator voice starts talking. "This spider is as large as a large car" Suddenly I have the spider infront of me on the table. It's not that big, and it's got a ball of web in its mouth filled with eggs. I remove the ball and play with the spider for a while. I know this dream can be changed and I guess I was kinda semi-lucid. The spider grabs the ball again and I kill the spider.

I dissect the spider and remove the fangs, which are enormous. I am careful not to get stung by one of them and I put all the spider goo in the sink. One fang is missing and I spot it in the sink. I grab it and I can feel it sinking into my flesh. It's just stinging slightly, but I realise that this is not good at all. I try to "Load" the dream (as I did in the dinosaur dream, just like you can do in a game) and I imagine the spider being whole and safe on the table again.

It's not there. I can hear Monica in the shower, singing. "Oh shit, this isn't good at all" I think and take a look at my hand. It's getting red. I rush to the computer to try to get some advice on the internet on what to do. I guess I was going to ask in the DV chat haha.



09.30: Another restaurant
I'm with some co-workers and we're on a bus or something similar. We're all pretty drunk and I remember Linus being there. Suddenly I'm in the restroom at a restaurant. I can hear two people trying to have sex in the booth next to me. "Having sex with your own mother would be really sick" I think for some reason (wtf?) and starts taking a piss. As usual I soak the entire place in piss. I try to remove most of it, and I remove my clothes to dry them. I can hear my friends Eric and Felix talking on the other side of the wall.

I walk out of the restroom and enter the dining hall. "Hey guys! What's up?" I ask them. They look at me with shocked expressions. "Dude, put on some clothes, we're in a restaurant!" Eric tells me. I look down and I'm only wearing underwear. I walk back towards the restroom to fetch my clothes. A table full of girls starts giggling and whistle as I walk past them. I put on my clothes and go back. My pants feel very weird, and they're definitely not the same as when I bought them. They don't even look the same. My mom tells me something.

10.30: Taking a shower
I'm standing in my mom's house. Waiting for the person in the shower to finish. There's a mirror above the door and I look at it. My little brother Morgan grins back at me. He gets out of the shower so Monica and I can enter it. It's an entire room made for showering. There's one shower each and it feels really good. Monica tells me there's something wrong with her shower. I walk over to her and try the different switches. All the nice modes of it comes with cold water instead of warm. She squeals when I turn it on. "Oh well, that sucks" I say.

10.30: Fragment
*I look something up on google. I spot my old dreamblog as the top result. The entry is just the same as the whole phrase I put in.

11.00: Jungle creatures
I'm looking at a few amazing pictures of a black panther. It appears the shot has been taken just a second before the panther would close its mouth on the camera. I wonder how they can take these kind of pictures and survive. It's like a movie starts playing infront of my eyes, and the narrator voice starts talking. "The jungle boys are brave. They agitate the panther into attacking, then retreats into the trees as they take pictures" I can see a boy jumping away from a panther just like that.

"The frogs of this jungle are very effective. The tadpoles are amazing hunters" I see several black, very large tadpoles swimming around in a muddy lake. Trapping a few fish in the shallows. "Because they can walk on land, they are excellent hunters" the narrator voice says. One tadpole tries catching a fish, but it gets away. I grab it and inspect it. It has a slimy, black body and it's as big as a frog already.

11.00: Fragments
*I'm with my mom and their dog Igor. There's another dog there, a german shepherd called Edd. Igor is on his stomach, and I scratch him. There's some kind of open pouch on it, and it feels very soft. "Igor has been eating snakes, so we're waiting for them to come out" my mom tells me.

*I'm sitting at a table with my family. My sister Madeleine asks me if she can borrow my saw. We've each received one as a gift for christmas or something. "You can buy a new one, it's only 1 kr" she tells me.

Amount of sleep: 11 hours

Supplements before bed: 2 x Omega-3

That's it! Alot of dreams... I realise I don't have as many holes as I think I have. When I'm typing most of it comes back to me, but I'm still 100% sure I was lucid in either the Civilization dream, or the Poisonous spider dream. As I can't remember fully, I cba to write it. I'm also not going to include semi-lucid anymore. G+C next weekend!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!
