nightmare

So I just felt like posting two nightmares of mine from when I was little. The first one is from when I was in preschool and it actually funny now to think that I was scared in the dream. The second one still haunts me, it was the most frightening dream I have ever experienced. It took place sometime when I was in elementary school.


First Nightmare: Lost in the Tubes
I was on a field trip with some people and teachers from my preschool. We went to a place with a huge play area with tubes and slides and things like that for kids to explore. I went to explore the tube but then I got lost. I couldn't find my way out and I remember there was a fake spider with a spider web covering one of the peek holes that I kept seeing. I went to a peek hole(maybe the spider one, I don't remember) and started crying because I was lost. One of the teachers saw me and had to come get me out. At the time, it was terrifying to me.


Worst Nightmare: Sinking Into the Graves
I was on my school playground and it was night time. There were two sides of the playgroud, one was on the side by the school and then the other one was way on a different side. To get there, you had to cross a large area of concrete that had areas where kids would play Four Square and soccer and stuff like that. It was set up just like in real life. The concrete area suddenly turned into a graveyard. There were outlines of grave holes and if you stepped on one of them, you would sink into the ground and be stuck there forever. I had to literally hug the wall and try to get across the concrete to prevent from stepping on one of them. At one point, I accidentally did step on one and it started sinking into the ground. I think I woke up..

Note: I think this might have contributed to the fact that I am terrified of being buried alive. Not quiet sure, but you never know.

8/11/10

1- Treat
I am in a grocery store, reading some World of Warcraft manga, when I jump and realize gravity seems a bit off. I RC and become lucid. Wanting to do something fun, I find a bunch of candy and start eating it... It tastes REALLY good.

2- Terrible Nightmare
FA. I RC but it fails. When I go to the bathroom to start getting ready for school, I notice that my teeth are all crooked. "What the heck!? But they were fine last night!" I RC again, but it still fails. I show my mom and she says she'll have to take me to the orthodontist to get braces again.

Practically in tears, I am RCing like crazy. "No, I refuse to let this be real..." I turn the lights out in the bathroom and make faces at my reflection, trying to make it come out of the mirror and attack me. ('Cause I'd rather be attacked by my evil reflection than to have crooked teeth.) It behaves like a normal reflection. I fall backwards and try to sink into the wall. It is as solid as ever.

"THIS IS NOT REAL!" I tell myself firmly, and do another nose pinch RC. I cannot begin to describe my relief when it actually passes. Never have I been so happy to find myself in a dream...

3- Following the Plot
Another FA but I never lose lucidity due to the narration: "The deeper he goes into FAs, the more stable the dream becomes." ("He" because I've suddenly become a guy. I wonder what's with all these gender switching dreams, lately.) I get out of bed and look at the clock out of curiosity. 8:45. I sure hope that's not the real time, or else I'm late for school.

I'm about to try to wake myself up again, when I remember my new rule. It's just a stupid dream notion, I probably don't even have school today.

When I go outside, I immediately see my dog Fred approaching me. He suddenly morphs into his human form and pulls out a gun, firing three shots into the air before returning to his dog form, then beckons me to follow. I'm busy thinking of how I'm going to write this once I wake up.

He leads me to a graveyard way off in the woods and signals for me to stay hidden. I observe several people walking out of a church and become wrapped up in their conversation. (All of which has been lost, unfortunately.) They are trying to decide the fate of a certain man who has betrayed their religious order. Eventually they spin a wheel, which tells them to send the man to "Lady Fortuna." This seems to disappoint many of them.

I've never really heard of the term "lucid dreaming" until last night aimlessly surfing the web. I was intrigued by the idea that I could in some way take control of my dreams. Recalling dreams I guess I'm a bit average, I can usually remember the basics of a dream about every other night. Last night I downloaded a few mp3's just out of plain curiosity. I listened to a one hour long track called "Subliminal Lucid 3.0" before going to bed, it was very relaxing and I was surprised to find that I actually listened to the whole track. It had very soothing music and a nice chime about every 5 minutes to keep the listener awake. I could also make-out someone speaking on the track, but the words were at lower volumes than the rest of the music.
Anyways, I had a a few dreams, remembering only the last, but I'd wake up after each. The last dream however was quite eerie and vivid, almost seemed life-like. It started with me standing in my room, but there was weird sounds in the background. It sounded like a muffled voice, almost like the one from the track that I had listened to before I went to bed. It was coming from all around me, and I started looking all around me to see where it was coming from, and that's when I saw my sister standing in the doorway. She was staring at the ground, and was positioned to where I was seeing her from her side. I called out her name, and with her head still bent downwards she turns her head and looks at me. Then she starts running towards me like something out of a bad zombie movie.
That's when I jolt awake, and I was really freaking out. I guess it would kind of be classified as nightmarish, but I don't know. Right after waking I figured that what I was hearing in the background could have been that subliminal message that I was listening to the night before, telling me to do a reality check or something. I'm not sure at all of what to make of everything, but I guess tonight I'll try the same thing and hopefully not get spooked again.

It started when I went on a stakeout with some girl to see if a certain woman went to see some sort of weird sex movie. Afterward I went and sat in something we called a car. After everyone left there was this moving platform of scientists testing on lab rats that moved into the parking lot. This I had seen in another dream before...

My brothers and I went to live with the SAME woman we saw at the theater.

I knew something was up. We slept in a hotel like setting all together. Shepard, cam, Hudson and I in one bed and the old woman in the other.

It seemed like the others were completely clueless but I saw that she was abusive, physically and verbally. At one point I got the chance to call Mom & Dad and ask them to come visit they did but all they did was drive by the house and wave. I tried to call them again and again but I kept mis-dialing.

At one point I took the home phone outside and hid it somewhere in the yard so I could get to it later. But when I threw it into a pile of stuff, I lost it. I dug through it and found a bunch of money and A LOT of keys one of the keys was giant and had three tips.. I look to my left and see the phone is in the red plastic bin.

I overhear the woman say "Where's Ryker?" I quickly pick up everything and then run around to the other side of the house and peek into a screen window where I find her cooking dinner, this kitchen and window seemed to be an exact re-creation of my neighbor's window and kitchen! "I'm right here!" I shout. It is at this point when I get a chance to REALLY see her gross pruned skin. I ask her if I can go to my friends house, she replies with an "ooh, alright"-like tone but still allows me to go.

I start walking down the street, I pass a small African American girl named "Tanya" on my way. The whole time I'm walking, I am on the phone trying to dial my parents cellphone number correctly. After what seems like ages of walking, I take a right and before I know it, I am in a place that doesn't look like my town at all. I look down a hill, I see the yellow "Round-Up" building in the distance and the church that is supposed to be on mainstreet is about a block away.

I recalled overhearing the fact that the phone I was holding used to belong to that church, so I decide to walk closer to the church, I hear yelling and pounding within it.

It is at this point the dream ends... I wish I could continue the story, but unfortunately I woke up...

I'm really just so confused.

I drempt I was playing a basketball game, as a cheerleader. I can't remember too many details, but this was fucking weird. I don't understand it at all. All I can remember is having the ball, and my ears getting ripped off by these two kids. Then coach said not to hurt them.
Thats ALL i can remember.

What the hell's happening to me... i'm losing my ability to go lucid.. ugh.

Racing against Time

I opened my eyes, looked above and spotted lots of stairs. Apparently, everybody understood they should find a way of getting to the top in something around 40 minutes. There were no rules, no judges, nothing. We (there were many people around) only knew we had to pass the tests and get to the next level.
As time passed, I started to realize I was, sooner or later, going to be the last person left. I looked after someone and found a girl who was also having problems with the challenge. She goes to the same school I do, so it wasn't hard to interact and plan things together. Working in a pair, we quickly saw one of us had to make some kind of "human bridge", holding the stairs with the legs (in this part the stairs were broken) and the ground with both hands. She did it and manage to pull me up.
We got to the final area and learned that we had a test to do, no matter how little time left we had. We planned something and received our paper sheets. Both tests were english ones. We felt relieved, for we knew they weren't difficult. Some of her friends passed by, laughing at us as if they were mocking us for being together as a couple.

University

This dream is incredibly long, so I think it'd be better if I could just save the most important parts.

I was at a very old building, where we were having Drama classes, by watching the teacher act. His role on the play wasn't that important, but some people cheered and made exaggerated compliments, obviously with other intentions. He simply ignored them, and only actually talked to the ones who had questions about the lessons. Ready to go and talk to him about what I had just watched, I tried to speak to him, when a girl started to discuss acting techniques with him.
Somewhat embarassed, I acted as though I was just meandering around and went checking some books placed nearby.
When I got to him, I said he did a nice job on the character, and he replied in a sarcastic way, which I responded with a joke or something like that. The principal showed up, she looked like she'd been looking for the professor. He knew he had done something wrong, so he held me by my arm and started to run.
Now at the campus, the principal made an attempt to hit us with her car, forcing us to hide at an alley. She found us and tried to hit us again. This time I grabbed her vehicle and simply threw it meters away. The man seemed impressed, but anyway we just splitted up and continued on running away.

Nonsense.

This was probably one of the most peculiar dream experiences I've ever had. Besides my mother telling me she caught me on my knees, whispering "they're everywhere, they're everyone", the dream itself was completely random and senseless.
At a shopping mall, I walked around with a friend of mine. The scenario
was surrealistic and improbable, there were some insects, alien creatures and mutant beings everywhere. At a certain point, my friend and I climbed up a moving train (which was also at the middle of the shopping center) and started to run on the top of it. I accidentally caused him to fall down and get some minor fracture on his back. I felt guilty.
Now unexplainably back to my apartment, I was sleeping at my bed. A bomb had been planted underneath me, and that's when a Scout from TF2 appeared, trying to defuse it. He gently moved my body away (now I do think this was when my mother was trying to get me to sleep -for she claims I had been up on my knees-) and searched for the object. Finding it a bit too late, he ran away from the upcoming explosion. I got up in a first-person view and somehow became lucid. I walked towards the corridor, where some ghosts started to come out from pretty much everywhere. Some even showed up from inside the walls. I no longer was afraid of them or the bomb explosion at all, for I now knew I could try to control things. I moved some random part of my body, probably my arms, and managed to "erase" the ghosts. Apparently the explosion wasn't even in the dream anymore. I wake up.

Fragment- all I remember is going to panda express and getting there organge chicken meal... when I got the meal it was filled with a bunch of junk like colslaw and everything i hate but i couldnt find the orange chicken.

Nightmare to lucid
I was walking home when i head a weadeater.... it was getting closer and closer so i looked behind me.... there was a very scary man getting close to me with it. I ran. He came at me and I hit him and got a knife and nearly killed him. I went into my house and heard the mans son saying he would come over and kill me. When he came over.... I ran from him and then just knew i was dreaming. the man disappeared and i was once again FULLY LUCID!
I tried to fly again... I couldnt physically... so I imagined myself floating up and it worked. This gave me the idea to have an obe inside my lucid dream. I felt myself floating up and partial separation... but full separation didnt work. Then I made myself have a HUGE mansion.... I had an amazing pool.... the biggest id ever seen. I said I wanted Megan fox and a bunch of girls to come to the hottub with me... but nobody showed... Then I heard a girls voice... I looked up and it was megan fox walking torwards me. Then a big limo pulled up full of girls and the rest is history.
I felt my dad and sister waking me up.... i tried to stay in the dream but i couldnt.... i woke up... to my dad telling me there was a crime down the street. I lost lucidity at this point. guess it was a false awakening. I cant remember a whole lot.... I just remember asking him if i could use my superpowers and being too scared to actually do it.

These are a few fragments I cant figure out which dream they were in...

I went to a themepark with my dad and rode a ride in which we had to get ourselves swiging and move our heads around to make the ride tilt at different angles

I dreamed that I was in some bigger, darker, version of my parents old house. This man and woman were there. And then it was a store, somehow. And they were shopping. I ask the person I'm working with if the two "had left yet". She says yes and I say: "Thank goodness," and as I say that I notice they are still here so I quickly change it to, "Because I needed to use the restroom." so as not to annoy them or make it seem like I'm badmouthing them. Anyways, I go back to use the bathroom and for some reason there's a woman with the guy that I wanted to leave and she's freaking me out. For some reason she's suffering from this "Alzheimer" like disease that can only be cured by this product called 'squid juice'. What it does is it (the disease) slowly makes you forget everything you love. I somehow gave it to her. Then Justin Long is somehow there and he's hunting me down and I'm trying to hide. He never catches/finds me. But I hear him saying that the 'squid juice' doesn't cure everyone. He pours some of it on his hand/face and worms start to bubble out of it and then he says, "It doesn't always get to what is inside.". And that's all I really remember.

And then for some reason Leah and I are at this really run down looking movie theater. We're on our "honeymoon" (don't ask me how I know this) and we wanted to go see a movie. So we get our tickets and, at first, have a helluva time finding our movie room. Somehow we end up like a mile past our actual room before having to double back. We find it, room 13, and go in. Immediately I'm hit by the smell of must and decay. There is a woman wearing loose sweatpants, she's a big woman, and the first thing she says when we come in is: "Finally ya made it." So we go all the way into the room. The actual silver screen is nice but instead of cozy chairs there is a gigantic white bench/pyramid that is covered in kids. We make our way over there. The kids are yelling and loud. There is a man at the front of the room by the screen trying to calm them down. He can't. So he sends in a "band jockey". A band jockey is a guy that is in the band that entertains the kids between shows. I don't know how I know this. So he comes in and asks the kids to quiet down, they don't. He gets mad and leaves again. When he comes back, again, he's dressed in some bizarre "Bashir" costume. He has a big oily black mustache and a giant wig. The kids listen after laughing a little bit. And then we're somehow back in our "hotel room" and I remember trying my hardest to get out of the clothes I was wearing and to bag them up. The smell from the theater is clinging to them and it's making my dream self gag.

I couldn't sleep well last night. I'm on my fourth day of the Infinity course (I'm at the point where I'm doing MILD and hand theory before going to bed and then waking up a few hours for the WBTB technique). But I kept waking up. I don't think I ever fell into a deep enough sleep to make the WBTB technique work. I tried listening to binaural beats while I was asleep but I think they kept me awake.

Til next time.

So last night, despite what they say, I smoked a fair amount of Mary Jane and I still had fairly vivid dreams and good recall. Fluke maybe.

The first thing I remember is a dream about getting dropped off at home. I was in a car with two friends--it was my car, but for some reason they were driving. We drove into my neighborhood and it was the middle of the night. I knew we had just gotten done doing something illegal (such as the aforementioned Mary Jane), and I was trying to get into the garage without waking up my parents, but as we drove near my house we saw my dad outside at my neighbor's house, laying cat litter underneath the tires of my neighbor's car, as though he were stuck somewhere in the winter and trying to get out, despite the fact that there was no snow to be found. I panicked and told them to just keep driving, hoping my dad wouldn't look to see what car was passing, and they dropped me off around the corner a little ways away from my house so I could walk around to the back door and he wouldn't see me. For some reason it was unlocked so I could get in, and for some other reason I also didn't seem to care that my friends then drove away in my car. Oh well. I'm guessing the reason for this dream is because I literally did the same exact thing last night, except I was driving myself and I had to call my brother to open the garage door for me so I could get the car in without waking my dad...same concept I suppose, but the dream version was scarier.

I know I had a lot more dreams last night, and some of them I can remember feelings from...one of them I know was a little scary, or at least just...stressful. I remembered feeling stressed or panicked, and not just in the dream above. Following that feeling, I remember being in my old high school with nothing on but my underwear, walking to class.

I end up in the class of a teacher I used to have, but I don't know exactly what she's teaching. I throw on a sweatshirt and sweatpants as I walk into the classroom, but I don't think anyone commented on my attire except one girl, who I'm almost wont to say was present earlier during the stressful part. For whatever reason she laid down on her back and I climbed on top of her with our uh...genitals in contact. Don't know why. I was trying to take notes from the overhead projector while laying in that position but it was sort of hard. The topic I think was something to do with King Arthur maybe? Which doesn't make any sense because the teacher that was there taught a sort of life management class for all the high school's seniors. Either way, the notes were entirely illegible, pretty much because it was a dream, but I remember turning to a classmate anyway (Trent is his name) and asking him what the hell she was doing. I thought the text was messed up because she was so old she couldn't write, not because it was a dream. After Trent and I shared a laugh over that, I looked back to the girl on top of whom I was laying and started talking. She seemed to be attracted to me but said that her friends disapproved of me because they didn't like a friend of mine. I seemed mildly disappointed by that, but she wasn't an extraordinarily attractive girl (kind of a cute blond, but her face was sort of funny-looking), so I wasn't terribly distraught.

There might have been a dream later but I don't think so. That's about when my sister woke me up. I really didn't try for a lucid last night because...well, I just didn't have the energy. Interesting dreams though.

This dream has two recurring themes. I'm not sure why they didn't trigger an RC, except that I'm fairly new to inducing LDs and I don't think I've been doing enough (RCs and MILDing). I graduated from HS in 1983, and haven't seen my HS sweetheart in more than 15 years.

I am at my high school. There is a pep rally going on. Even though I know it's my high school, it has the layout of my daughter's grade school. For some reason, they won't let me in. I recognize two of the guys that won't let me in. They are big and bullies. I provoke them on purpose. I am in a bad mood, and sick of being bullied. I prompt them, and they don't respond. I don't ever get physical, but I do something that makes them mad. They give chase, and I stand my ground. "C'mon", I say, "let's go". They shrug their shoulders and walk away. I finally get in and see my ex-girlfriend. I try to get her attention, but she is with someone else. I am profoundly hurt. I try and try, but only manage to get the attention of her twin sister. She cannot help me. I spend the rest of the dream trying various ways to get her attention. Suddenly, the fire alarm goes off. Everyone is running. I run into the bullies again, but they don't try anything. We all start to leave the building. The rest is a blur.

COMMENT LUCID NON LUCID DREAM SIGN

I was in the kitchen, and I got a phone call from an old friend named Bree. She told me that she was having a party tonight and that I was welcome to come. I said that I would, but remembered that finals were tomorrow (in the dream, not rl) so I told her that I wouldn't stay too late.

I arrived at the party and there were tons of cars parked on the grass and around the house. That's the last thing I remember for awhile.

I wake up again, screaming. There are two 'men' on me, but one is actually a giant red octopus. I'm being violently raped by these two men, and still screaming at the top of my lungs. There is blood all over the sheets and I can't see my attackers well because it's dark in the room. I tried to escape but passed out again.

I woke up alone in the same room, which I recognized to be my old bedroom. Blood had stained the sheets and next to me in the bed are hundreds of dead ladybugs. Across the room is the electric piano, which has split itself down the middle (when I was a child I used to have recurring nightmares about being attacked by an electric piano). I scooted the chair back into place and put the two halves of the piano together again.

I left the house and stumbled down the driveway. There was a girl throwing up chocolate cake near the edge of the driveway. Cars were still parked outside the house even though it was pretty dark and empty now. In my head I heard a whispering "Wake up, wake up, wake up!". I woke up IRL, it was 9am which was the time that I had aimed to wake up at...

that dream was so disturbing

So, I'm a hardcore gymnast, I'll start with that. Anyway, theres a celebrity named Ayla Kell whom I truly admire for looks and voice.

The dream started in a party place, it was for my birthday, I was sitting on the inside of a booth. I ate a piece of cake and "phased" out of my seat (my mother was in my way, getting out just..happened) after seeing Chelsea Hobbs (another person from the same gymnastics TV show) pass by. Fastforward to a few minutes later, and somehow I'm taking photos in a photobooth with Ayla Kell. I get a kiss on the cheek in one of the photos. We get out and look at the photos. my vision then becomes that of a game, and the photos literally take up the whole spectrum of my vision. Ayla and I then talk, I see a few other people from my past (a girl i fell for in Hawaii, the man who shot me when i stopped him from robbing a store, so on and so on). A few seconds later I see a man with dark wings walk in, everyone moves out of his way. Not scared, they just move. Another man is infront of me, I sense serious danger. I tell Ayla to get behind me, she does.

As a side note - I'm bilingual, I just want to throw that out there before I get to the next part.

The man infront of me starts to speak, and it takes my brain a few seconds to adjust to a seperate language. "Dammi la ragazza." - Give me the girl.
"Non, lei e' per mio e' nessuno tutti." - No, she is for me and no one else.
For some reason seeing them didnt scare me.
"Give me her or we'll kill you."
The man on the right of me (the one who moved all the people) said it. And for some reason alarms went off in my head. I willed a sword into existance, and when the demon infront of me realized what I was doing, he ran at me.
-This is where I became lucid-
The sword materialized AS he jumped to slice me up, I swung up and he disappated, almost like a ghost hit by iron. Then the demon to the right of me (who I turned to face) said, "Nice try. But you can't protect her forever."
He disappeared, and I ended up in a solitary confinement cell with Ayla.
I started to speak in latin, and she disappeared. Then I woke up.

Lights out at 1:35AM. At 4:13 the cat woke me up and I wrote this:

A train. Packing. Fear. Playing something on the computer. Train goes between states off consciousness? Maybe. Can't remember. I'm a little girl and I'm scared. I'm all the DC's. Or at least two. The little girl's afraid of me. Should she be? Maybe. Where am I taking her on the train? Have to hurry--the road closes at night. Levels. Of what?

At 8:38 the other cat woke me and I wrote this: Drinking with Lloyd in Mtown, then driving to Dad's along the river in my old convertible. Stopped at a playground along the way. The slide was made of wood. Dad's house was different. Much bigger. Sharon had something painted on the back of her brown dress. It was for work. I felt anxious and wanted to be alone. I ran through the house to the back room and shut the door. But Lloyd followed me. He was trying to convince me to come out and socialize and he got ever more condescending about it. He just wouldn't stop. Eventually I was in tears and though the cat *was* trying to get my attention what woke me was the sound of my own voice when I yelled aloud, "Just leave me alone!"

Me, Sam, and Ken were all in the "living room" (it was supposed to be but we were in my mom's room) of my mom's house. All of a sudden, it got totally dark. I tried turning on some lights put some of the switches wouldn't work. I happened to look out of a window and I saw a guy walking down his driveway dressed up as Santa Claus. It was storming by now. Ken said, "Quick! Go to the basement! There is a creep outside!" So we all ran down our longer than usual hall and proceeded down our longer than usual basement steps. Halfway down, the phone rang. I yelled, "Ken! Go get the phone and the flashlight!" So she ran back upstairs.

Sam and I were too scared to go anywhere, so we waited. About a few minutes later I heard a loud bloodcurdling scream followed by a deep laugh. I told Sam to stay there, and I ran up the stairs and turned the corner to find the multi-purpose room (taken from my dad's house) steps. The laugh was coming from up there. I tried everything to shouting and yelling "hey!" to even throwing pillows to get the guy's attention. Nothing seemed to work. I can still hear his laugh today. *shudder*

I had a dream in which my surprisingly demonic older sister tortured my cat Sunshine.
Anyways,
It started out where i noticed I was in some kind of OR. I looked around and saw my Ken (older sister) standing there. Beside her was Sunshine, sprawled out on a gurney. Ken wheeled the gurney into the nearest room, and I followed. I looked down for a moment and noticed that Sunshine did not look normal..sort of human-ish. I squinted and saw, that my older sister had cut Sunshine's paw off.
She was um, holding it in her hand. Ken raised a knife and she said, "Time for surgery." with an evil smirk.

I then appeared outside of my church. It was nighttime. Ken was holding Sunshine, so I took her away from Ken. Then to my horror, I saw something was stuck up through Sunshine's chin and mouth, a pin. I cried and held her, but it didn't seem to be doing any good. She was suffocating, and I had no idea what to do. A group of people started gathering, and Sam was there too. I gave Sunshine to her, then glared at Ken. She gave me the most creepy demonic stare. Her eyes were yellow and red, sort of like olives. Lol. But still, it looked demonic.
