Something about Diana Ross...I was at her concert and I was singing her songs

Ridiculous.

Morning of September 24, 2013. Tuesday.



We are living in a different house, seemingly some sort of apartment that is somewhat like the King Street boarding house except that the area that would otherwise be the downstairs foyer is extended out into a much larger living area, oriented east and west.

At one point, a light-haired young man comes in from his own entrance downstairs at the east side of the building, yet it seems the staircase is part of a larger room of our own living area as I am able to look up and see him walking up the steps. He yells really loudly to someone as he is walking up the steps and I hear his friend upstairs yell back. They are still talking at a ridiculous volume even when right next to each other. I am very annoyed. It reminds me of people in real life who talk as loudly as possible even though the other person may be close or even right next to them - have never made much sense of why people are like that (even when I was a child), and it is not when the person is angry, either. It is just another way to impose, while having no self-control or respect for others, I guess.

However, I take an odd approach to how I confront them. One of them comes downstairs again. I say (not aggressively), “Could you please stop shouting? There are other people who do not want to hear it.” I seem to be implying to him that I personally do not mind all the yelling. Strangely enough, he does not get angry. We have a somewhat lengthy and friendly conversation before he continues out of the building. I seem to be in my own place, near the middle of the living room, and he is in his own place by his front door at the bottom of the stairs, even though we seem to be in the same general living area (even the same room), yet living in our own separate homes at the same time - a scene/environment that would not make any sense in real life other than perhaps as with an apartment building with a shared court or similar area for such as hanging clothes or parking or such.

Time passes and things are picked up by an “invisible force” and thrown against the wall, including some of our children’s toys, such as Lego blocks. The furniture is not disturbed that much and I also feel a slight breeze as the curtains are swept back and torn somewhat, like as with larger claws - but I still do not feel very alarmed.

I speak out so that my wife and kids (who are in other rooms) are aware of the events. “It’s a poltergeist,” I say, rather unemotionally, informatively, and with authority, but as if it is not that big of a deal at all. I notice that the other man has returned and is in my family’s living area now. There is also a (fictional) hallway that runs north and south along the east wall of the foyer. I now realize that the other two younger males are ghosts, but usually not all that mischievous. He (the one that had used the stairs) makes a comment about how he has “been like this for awhile” as if he is uncertain of his place in life.

I look at the east wall of the hallway near where there is also a door. The other (dark-haired) ghost seems to be having problems getting through the wall downstairs just to the left of another actual door. His hands come out, glowing green, creating a somewhat interesting unknown emotion (not fear). I make a note of it to my family as if we are watching a performance at a circus or music venue. I go over and help him by pulling on his hands to help him complete his act of going through the wall. The two ghosts are thankful for my help. I even throw a few things around (not in any violent way, just sort of tossing a few unbreakable objects about) supposedly to help them gain confidence in knowing what to do in their apparent new roles as “bolder guys” (poltergeists) so that they can do more of what they are supposed to be doing as ghosts. I then hear some sort of instrumental music, sort of like a harpsichord, but it seems to be coming from an iPhone that one of the ghosts has(?) Eventually, I am aware there are words to the song but I only hear the first few lines, something about waiting at a bus stop and the weather being nice and sunny (from a ghost’s perspective or as light coming in through the window of an old dusty room) as I wake.

Even though I was annoyed by their shouting at first, ironically, I come to “understand” that the poltergeists are normally less loud and annoying than living people in the neighborhood.

Oddly enough, before I actually took any notice, the last three dreams on here (before mine - this being in reference to the dream journal site only) include some of the same scenes or details (not all of which I even included in this shorter entry anyway - but this has happened quite often before and I do not always comment on it):

I couldn't sleep, so I read a book. Despite that (or maybe because of it), I remembered one dream.

Dream 1:

I was in a bohemia interactive rpg (eg. Fallout 3, Skyrim). I needed to go talk to a bunch of characters to finish the game. I remember a wizard, a guy, and a woman. I had to do tasks for each of them. The woman was in a gazebo, and the wizard was in an apartment building. After I finished the game, I killed everyone. The end.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some video game and we were defending some place, there was something about zombies.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in some outdoor area with a team of people, there was something going on and we had to fight someone and soon we have reached some foresty area. Here we started chasing some pirate that was turning the place into minecraft-like gravel somehow.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening


I'm on a cruise on the US East Coast. There's a global warning of an asteroid to hit Earth in the next hour and a half, followed by a huge tsunami that will hit the US East Coast. People freak out. I feel mad because I have the clear impression they knew about this a long time in advance but chose to warn people only when they could hardly do anything about it.
Many people on smaller boats nearby head to land, but there's forest for kilometers and by foot they won't reach far enough inland to escape the tsunami.
I don't know what to do, the boat crew left and took some people with them, but I stayed behind with many others.
My mother appears with her boyfriend and tells me he is taking her on his yacht to shore, where he has a private jet and they can fly away to escape. But he can only take her, does not accept to take me along. I tell my mother "you should go and save yourself" to which she doesn't offer any resistance, so she says goodbye and leaves. (My actual mother would never, ever do that!)
Saddened by my mother abandonment, I accept my faith. I go to the dining room where people drink and eat and cry and sing and I decide to join them and embark on a cake eating frenzy. There's like half a dozen varieties on the tables and I eat two or three pieces of each. It feels so soothing.
Then I meet a guy and start talking to him and he has some knowledge of sailing, so I have the nuttiest idea. Why don't we go far enough on deeper sea to avoid most of the wave (as it forms near the shore) and turn the nose to the incoming tsunami (it's what they do in the movies to try to navigate super storms and giant waves, right?). We gather a team of 4 or 5 people who still want to fight for their lives and we head to the ship's bridge and manage to put the ship facing the wave.
When it comes, it's a fucking big wall of water and we hold on to whatever we can. I tie myself up to some metal tubes with rope, but close to an exit, so in case we roll over, I'll try to swim away. But I think the ship survives. Not sure,
'cause then I wake up.

Im am on a cruise ship with my mom going around the world and were at open sea. I remember someone is ordering us to get back to our cabin but my mom puts them in there place and we continue walking around wherever we feel like it. When we get to a part in the cruise ship where theres a big opening and you can see a giant pool settings spread across from one side of the ship to another with water falls and fountains in the middle of the pools which was amazing because my mom and I really enjoy pools. The giant pool was being over looked by a balcony where there was another smaller pool at which is where we were located at the time. So then I offered to go get the camera in the room to take pictures with it and she stayed waiting by the pool side. When I went to go get the camera I saw that the cabins we were in were like a mini tent that you sung yourself in and a storage area right above where you sleep like it you were in an airplane and you store your carry on. So I couldnt find the camera I remember I found myself with Frank and we were exercising running up and down the stairs like if we were outside the cruise ship but it looked like a park sort of environment which was really moody. Then I remember I told Frank lets go get Mirsa to hit up the pool after working out and then out of nowhere I was like on auto-pilot but I can see Frank and Mirsa in my thought talking and Mirsa was crying on Franks shoulder saying why she didnt feel appreciated and that every time they go out Mirsa really never felt accepted or valued so then Frank started saying sweet things to her about all the memorable moments they had together at many events. Which kind of touched my heart in the way because Frank really didnt know she felt that way so then I left them together with a warming glow and then woke up.

Monday, 9/23/13

Last night, bed 2am - 8:40am

I'm traveling with group of people by car. Before we go on a trip, we stop in a large bar. There is nobody else there. Bunch of empty tables and a bar. one of our group sits in the back at the table, I'm at the bar with another 1-2 people. We are talking to a female bartender. We wan't to try some beer. This idea just occured to us and I'm excited.

She says "I thought you are gonna have beer when you get to Prague". We say "yeah, but this one is for the road".

She hands us a handwritten list of beers she has. I ask for a dark one. She points to one on the list. She also points out a red beer and some american beer. Name has 3 letteres, H and X. We rule that one out right away.

So she hands me a small glass of beer. I can feel the glass in my hand being warm. I'm like "it's warm". It was lukewarm, almost warm. She says "well, it's room temperature". But I say no, it's warmer than that. I have a taste and it tastes sweet and salty. And like a beef soup or gravy. It was pretty bad. I see the bottle the sets on the bartop, and it's a 750ml, clear glass wine bottle, with some clear liquid.

(Man, my first dream beer and it tastes like this!)

Dream recall from today's WBTB/nap. Was pretty low awareness lucid and i barely could do stuff.

Dream 1:

I am at home and i can't fall asleep, and i am sleepy, i am trying for a while in different rooms. There are alot of pillows and my headset turns into pillows. More stuff happens, i am still super sleepy and family is leaving to somewhere, i go to yet another room and it's very warm here, also there are weird scents and no windows.
Then as i try falling asleep i notice sconce on the wall turning into some robotic being, it extends it's arm towards me and for some reason i can only barely move, i still manage to fight though.
Shortly i wake up, and there's another robotic being floating around the room, which then attacks me, i fight a bit and dream fades out.
I wake up again and there's someone in the room, dream fades out.
Wake up again, feeling in the back, i finally managed to get up, someone's shouting about something and there's someone behind me dream kinda destabilizes completely and i lose lucidity and then shortly wake up.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was playing some video game.

My dream was set in a city street that was likely very old. Like those old buildings in Spain.
I owned a store that was just a ways down from a palace in which the queen resided. ~I wasn't getting any customers and soon a pair of city guards, dressed in gold armour with Spartan helmets and blue capes, approached my store and said "You are unable to keep up with the costs of this land and so by order of the queen you have 1 day to vacate the premises"

After they trashed the store and left I had an idea. "I'll rob the nobles to get the money I need for my store! After all it's not like they need it!" On my way to the palace I saw a television playing a news broadcast of a few students meeting with the 'queen'one of whom was holding an Ipad. It had ended early as the queen had "better things to do" and "wanted to be left alone" I thought now would be a good time to strike" I was then that i was stopped by an old man in sunglasses and he said "Hey. I can tell your thinking of breaking into the palace. If you do somehow make it inside there's an Ipad I remotely hacked to record one of the queens meetings. We suspect there's something going on up there" I remained silent and continued on my mission. I entered the first floor which was open to tourists and had a set of metal detectors in it. Since I didn't have anything incriminating, yet, I decided to enter this way. After wandering around for a while I spotted a fire escape and used it to scale the building to hallway that lead to multiple bedrooms. I looked out the window on the opposite end and saw the man with the sunglasses waving and pointing to his right at a scaffolding out the window. Remembering the original reason why I was there (but not realising I was dreaming ) I grabbed a silver vase, put it in my backpack and continued out the window.

The scaffolding lead to a crescent shaped balcony that devided into three sections and was very heavily guarded by more of the men from earlier. They spotted me and began chasing so dodged the first set of guards and jumped to the next platform. Then the next group. Suddenly however when I'd made it to the third balcony section they'd all stopped trying to chase me and just stood and stared. I found it extremely strange but continued onward anyway.
The door opened to a balcony just like the previous one except this was one large balcony in an L shape. I noticed there was no one around and that there were many holes in the floor. I took the silver vase out of my backpack and rolled it along the floor. It triggered something that made a loud click and suddenly large metal spears shot out of some of the holes in the floor and walls. I avoided the paths of the spikes using the silver vase to show me where they would pop up next and made my way to the end of the platform. Before me was A huge hallway with more spear holes in the floor. This time I ran and made it to the large door at the end of the hallway. I opened it and there was the queens bedroom. I took some jewellery the Ipad that belonged to the student from earlier and used the many ropes used to hold the curtains in place to repel down to the street.

The last thing I remember seeing was the video on the Ipad of the queen speaking with a group of shady looking characters and then I awoke.

This was a very short dream, or probably just another moment of sleep paralysis.

It happened around 5:00 AM in the morning, usually the best time of day for me to go through sleep paralysis. I woke up for a few minutes, and very tiredly, sat up to see if there were any monsters around my bed(what I always do). I didn't see anything but I heard the television playing in the next room. I heard my niece and father. I felt so tired I didn't even want to get up and prepare for the day. So I went back to sleep.

As soon as I feel asleep, I fell in to a dream(one of those dreams where I appeared lost some where in the wilderness in Alaska or some other forest-consumed land). I woke up and automatically opened my eyes. It didn't feel like sleep paralysis but I do remember being inside my room. I was able to move a few parts of body. Not knowing that I was in sleep paralysis(not sure if it's a false awakening either), I saw a tall, skinny figure standing towards the left side of my bed. It had no clothes on, pure white skin, and no hair! It wasn't chasing after me, so I wasn't sure if I should of felt scared or sexually aroused. After a few minutes, I decided to close my eyes.

My dream signs are becoming regular now.
Well, it is now : journey, my home town, school

In first dream : I am traveling on train. Though I m going not too far it is taking too much time. I lay down in a compartment, I m in t-shirt as I have took off my shirt because of heat. I m enjoying scenary. My grandpa with me (who is dead in reality). We are going to her homw town. As I reached there we get down in hurry, but I forgot my favorite shirt in train, train is leaving station but I can't find my favorite shirt.

I am school, in my old school. I m in 8th standard. All teacher fond of me because of my skills. I am surfing mobile at last bench. Teacher caught me but did nothing. I am enjoying my school days. But I have enrolled my my name for another school. But I dont wana leave this school. I loved that school and the friends

Tghen I was playing football but with cricket ball with friends. I am playing alone against my juniors. They are playing like amateurs so its boring. But i was still enjoying. But they were not putting any fight which was making me annoyed


Whenever I am at school I choose not to go lucid. Because I wana leave those days again. Its still real to me, because I can feel being there....... I enjoy being there , I feel the happiness and so I always choose not to change anyting

[12:21:37] <TehDalek> He washes the frying pan and I take it and whack him over the head with it, knocking him out

Alright, gonna try looking over my IRC chat logs and I am going to post dreams I actually remember or ones explained in good detail. Most of my DJ entries will probably look like the one above.

My dreams continue to be zombie/apocalypse/driving/shooting-related.

I've been up for over twelve hours, so I can't really recall all that well, but I remember this part clearly: (red parts are funny parts where I was aware it was a dream without actually being aware)

I was watching a film about this guy stuck at a supermarket. People were going crazy there, sorta zombie, but others were afraid of the zombies and REALLY going crazy. They had guns and they kept shooting everybody. Then, the guy ran a little and ended up on a calm part of the supermarket. Suddenly, everybody was normal and he realised he had been hallucinating the whole time.

My dad, who was watching the film with me, I guess (I just heard his voice and knew he was next to me), said "they're just pretending to be normal to trick him" and sure enough, as soon as the guy took a deep breath, everything was pure chaos again.

At this moment, I was there. I started running and I thought "well, this is a supermarket, I should take everything I'll need". I blinked and I already had a bag full of stuff. I remember thinking "I don't remember taking anything, but I'm sure I got important stuff" and I also had a car key with me.

I ran to the parking lot and I used the alarm thing to find which car I had gotten. It was a cool jeep. I got in and the security guard of the parking lot somehow knew that wasn't my car. I realised I wasn't sure how to drive that, but then I thought "duh, this is a dream, I can totally do this" and... nope, lucidity is a luxury I cannot afford.

The guard was in front of the car and I shrugged and started driving fast, asking myself why the hell the dude was worried about me stealing a car when there was zombie apocalypse going on. Seriously, security guard, priorities, okay?

I drove away, as fast as possible, but I heard the cops around and I knew the idiot had warned the police. Again, I asked myself why the police would be worried about a stolen car in the middle of a damn apocalypse, but I guess they take their job very seriously in my dream.

I realised it'd be too much hard work to drive away from the cops while also being careful with zombies, so I decided it was time to wake up. Why be lucid in a dream when you can just give up on the dream altogether, am I right?

(This is from September 17.)

I was attending some kind of UFO/conspiracy convention with Cory. There were lots of people dressed as aliens and stuff, and just general alien items everywhere. It was kind of embarrassing for me, because even though I wanted to be there, I didn't want him to think I was some kind of crazy conspiracy nut. So when we were sitting together at this long lunchroom-type table with a bunch of other people, I would whisper to the others around me so Cory couldn't hear what I was saying. I remember telling a guy next to me, who said he was an alien from Orion, that I wanted to get the Pleiades tattooed on my stomach. Then one of the convention leaders put out a stack of pamphlets about a Bigfoot-like pig creature, and we all went up and looked over the pamphlet. After a while, Gordon Ramsey appeared and had a small MasterChef-style competition right there at the convention. Cory and I joined. We had to do a tag team thing, and I decided to give Cory the moose meat because Gordon said it only had to be cooked a few seconds, so I assumed we could do that easily. Cory didn't hear him about the cooking time and left the meat in the oven during his turn. Then when my turn came around I raced to pull it out of the oven before it overcooked, I was so into it that I even grabbed the pan out of the oven with nothing but a towel and endured the heat, even though normally I can't get near an open oven because of heat intolerance. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the moose meat started dissolving before my eyes, and we lost because we had no dish since the meat completely evaporated into the air.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some rts.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some shmup and was at final bosses, one of which was huge battleship that was also flying and had various attack patterns on different sides. Then there was some kind of core boss which turned into robotic girl apparently, attack patterns were tough but i apparently already knew good tactics and positioning vs them, also my ship was firing like Infernal Sabbath shot type from Hellsinker.
