non-lucid

I had a dream similar to the Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb video game, After the Nazi was trying to kill Indiana; Mr. Jones was running around in a desert with the murder machine still after him, Running very fast (As if he was on ten bottles of Skooma, A drug from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) on the crests of sand dunes. He then came up to a lake of fire and lava at the north end of the desert and I saw it from up high; There were towns all around and few had green in them. There was a false Jesus statue to the right near a lava river and later I ended up seeing in a building on the north side of the lake where someone may have been ambushed.

This reminded me of the Nirvana cover of the Meat Puppets song "Lake Of Fire" at the time.

I was alone in a bank and I picked up a dollar bill of some sort at a booth only to look at it and I saw an image of someone or something that resembled Gollum printed on it who also was a bank teller at one time. Then it (The being) popped up to the left of the booth very still like a statue while the color of the room faded and sound died. I think I then went up to it and touched it and said "Jesus Christ! Never to be again..." And I may have floated upwards and perhaps I then saw white too, Then I woke up.

This may have been the same night I dreamed of cake in water and pizza in a room with some other people there including a cashier from a grocery store who I met once.

1/17/11
1/18/11

The sky was dark... pitch black.

A group of students and I were visiting a town at night. From a couple of yards away there was something that looked like a theatre; in reality a restaurant. The narrator of my dream told the class that it once belonged to a guy who invented a type of sport. We were transported by unknown means to another of his restaurants and this particular establishment had flyers (tabloids/pamphlet) of himself. A girl named M. commented how sad it was that they closed down his restaurant after he passed away, indicating that it should be some type of landmark. The flyers displayed an old man, ugly looking by western standards, having a long nose, and droopy face- he was Caucasian. The flyer also illustrated his various exploits in cinema and theatre, including a horror flick in which he wore a mask that was a carbon copy of his face only green.

Afterwards, I remember walking down a street not unlike my own real neighborhood. I was with my sister when she said something about a garden having candy. I looked towards my right and noticed a fence; behind it was the garden. She identified an object as candy, but I claimed it to be a mere cornstalk. Then I imagined myself holding Soul Edge, although it was never physically seen with my eyes. While holding the sword of heroes, I was levitating and flying while standing.

Location in dream: In a video game environment - In a city by a river which had a raised bridge.

Todd, The team manager had a mission for me to do: Save his hat from falling off the raising bridge. Someone had stolen it from him and I had to get it back for him and I had to do this within five seconds or I had to start a combo skating line to the bridge.

I heard his voice clearly: He said "Oh boy. Some (person; ?) --- bridge. ?" The question marks designate parts I didn't recall yet.

Dream 1:

I was in group and we were searching through the forest for towns. Eventually we have found first one and started search for specific building, but haven't found it, we went out for the next town. On the way we were talking about various things and also i have seen a dragon. Soon we have reached another town and there was somebody who said that one of towns has every kind of building except for building we were searching for, but as we looked around this town was not that kind of town and we finally have found the building.
I went back to home, someone decided to party and bought special 'party kit'. So at home the party started and we were eating alot of cakes that were from party kit, then there was 'mini-game' where there were flying mini-cakes that one should eat before they bite, i ofcourse nommed them all, yummy. Then there were more various 'challenging' cakes.
Then somebody started telling a story and i started seeing it happen, it was a story about some boy that visited some dude in weird multicolored suit that was apparently his uncle or something, and after some talk he gave him a small furry creature with bat-like wings. Then the story shifted to another place, there was another boy. He was talking about a dragon that will become a king once he grows up, and indeed, there was a little dragon with him. Then the story shifted again and there was that furry creature with bat-like wings in a cage. He broke out of the cage after avoiding fire and then grabbed into floating platform, then he glided from platform to platform all while somebody was commenting "He's not super strong, but strong enough, he can't truly fly, but can still navigate in the air.". In the end he reached place where multicolored dude was, thus connecting it to the previous story.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing spiral knights with MC apparently, and i was talking with him about actions in one forum game. We were fighting enemies in a room with two spire floors and then we randomly started talking about dragons.

Early fragment: something good about a DV member and lds

Dream: me and parents are living in a street shop that is a house. The place also reminds me of a cheap hotel room. I complain about all of us having to share the toilet. I want to do the laundry before we go out. The neighborhood is very bad too.

Fragment: mom wants to play golf because she can't wait for me on fridays?

Fragment: I am examining a large bullet that has been fired already and wonder if it can be used again. Some guys are after me, I run to the top of the building.

late-WBTB&WILD: As I am falling asleep, I expect to see a scene form in the darkness and think about my hands. I appear on a dark street, make a few movements to properly get in and stabilize and then my body begins to float up. I decide to control the flight and will myself to fly up but reach a certain height maybe about two floors high and the float/flying stops and I slowly go down. I wonder why's that and try again with the intention of going to the roof of the building this time. I float up but the dream ends and I need to get up too.

1/16/11 11:00 p.m.
1/17/11 8:13 p.m.

Nothing here is in chronological order, but considering it's a dream that may not really matter.

This dream is not exactly easy to explain. I imagined two people given a measure of power by a shadowy figure. The location of the dream was a city. There appearance: one looked like Wee Hughie, a character from "The Boys" comic book and the other I couldn't recall. They had an apartment but were abruptly evicted by the landlords, thus homeless. The Wee Hughie-doppleganger was wearing a sweater vest. Out of compassion the landlord re-employed them and instantly their garments changed from drab grab to uniform. The place of residence which supplied their employment was a "mansion". The mansion, if it could be called that was very dark and musty looking. I would describe the interior like that of an old hotel. The co-workers took the two men into a room at the top which was just as dark as any floor. The room was a warehouse that store exotically shaped wooden rifles. Their color seemed to be ranging from green to yellow to brown. I took control of one of the men, this being a third person dream, and inspected one of the firearms. One was able to shoot water, and I shot water at one of the employees.

Apparently there was some event of the dream in which the men lost and gained power. Later in the dream it showed an origin story of the men. The two men were gay lovers. They would live at a rooftop at one of the city's buildings. Before they had powers they would jump on a canvas that had a batman insignia on it. They would jump on these things like trampolines to navigate around the city. Near the end of the dream I took control of one of the men, because there was a race taking place in the city. One man had a vehicle while the possessed man (my avatar) had metal blades which served as wheels and his bare legs to move. At the entrance when the race started, the man with a vehicle (which appeared to be a cross between a drag racer and an X-wing) was clearly winning. Suddenly, the possessed man was going ahead of the drag racer. Now, the man with bladed hands accidentally cut his wrists, and since he was my avatar, I felt some degree of pain.

Before the race there was a feud between the man; they used their powers to possess others, warp reality, and so on. This was viewed in a dark place which looked a bit like an area of a cruise ship I went to in the real world. The shady figure who gave them powers was, or at least looked like, a friend of mine named J. Phelps. There was a previous dream to this one. I dreamed of an alien force that made earth animals look like monsters. The narrator of this dream claimed the infected beasts were still earth animals. The only animal I remember, which may be from a scene related to Star Wars TFU, was a gargantuan octopus/squid like creature with large solid blue eyes, and four tentacles which surrounded it's mouth. There is not much I could recall from that particular dream. This was the most bizarre dream by far.

Withnail & I, in which '& I' has an audition he's nearly missing, wrapped up in a sheet on the floor of the apartment and brooding. I, disembodied observer, am noting that no matter how badly off you are, looking at these two will make you feel better.

Hannibal, in which Will is in Hannibal's room, examining the things hanging on the walls and feeling wary and suspicious.

A prehistoric bat-like underwater creature.

ElfQuest, in which I've just come back to the Wolfriders after a long time away, centuries, things have changed a great deal while I was gone. They have new rules for staying hidden - 'new' being relative, these rules are old and well-established for them, to the point that they don't always remember this is all new to me, and both I and the people who were away with me mess up from time to time. It's been a strange readjustment in a lot of ways. I'm up in the treetops, looking out over the forest to a place where a river and a road meet, a road that was never there before, and I think even the river's moved. I'm thinking about how drastically the humans have changed while I was gone, and how my people have had to change along with them.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

Fragments of a few related scenes, not sure what order I dreamed then in. Pretty clearly influenced by Hannibal. Switches back and forth between 1st and 3rd person, following a man who does some very strange job for the FBI:

Walking down a sidewalk in DC with a black-haired woman with an upturned nose, her with a cup of coffee in her hand, none for me, I don't drink coffee - we have some professional relationship, we work very different jobs but we talk outside of work, we're old friends, with occasional attempts at being more than friends but the timing's always been wrong.

A different woman, my partner, talking to our boss about his faith in us on some very strange case he's given us.

My partner again, we're on assignment in some small town, been here for a few days, and right now we're not working, she's fooling around uploading photos of me to some social network site that her mother is on. I've met her mother, I like and respect the woman, and my partner's teasing me about posting something inappropriate. I try to see what photos she's uploading and she keeps shooing me away.

Same small town, been here longer now, I'm talking to a police officer I've gotten to know a little just as we're wrapping up for the day, he says it's good that I'm dating, "even if you do fight a lot." I have no idea what he's talking about, I think maybe he misinterpreted something about me and my partner teasing each other - we do fight a lot when we're filling out paperwork - then I turn around and see that other woman from before has come to pick me up, and she's dressed for a night out, stunning, the dream 'camera' does this slow pan up her legs, black dress, done something fancy with her hair - I'd known we were going out for dinner but this I was not expecting. I'm thinking it's something to do with being out in the middle of nowhere like this, the people around me aren't content to let me keep holding them at a distance. It's not a good thought.

Last fragment before I woke up, more obvious symbolism than the rest, 3rd person for all of it - he's at dinner with that woman, not at a fancy restaurant but at a place with some activity that keeps them on their feet. She's eating ribs, messy, sauce smeared on her face. It looks like blood. So mostly I'm left with this image of her crouching with blood on her face, and I, the disembodied observer, hear TdV's Sarah's line in my head: "Blut, Liebling. Leck es ab." She hands him a rib, and he, obligingly, eats, just as his phone rings, work-related, so that when he answers his phone he also appears to have blood on his mouth.

I was at an apartment complex with my mom and one of my good friends Vanessa comes up to me and says "hows everything going" so I told her "well if someone would sneak me out to go to a party I would definitely be wanting to risk it all" so then she said you got to ditch your mom and lets bounce so at that point we started running towards the car and got into it but some how my mom caught up to us but then when we got close to the party we halled ass and lost her. At this point Vanessa and I get lost in the chaos of the party so I go do my own thing. Then all of a sudden when I sit down at this bar the scenery changed into a classroom where its very dark and theres a projector playing up front in the classroom so theres enough light to look around and observe my surroundings. I saw like 4 people making out to the back left of me and then saw these 2 beautiful chicks to the right of me so at this point I started talking to one of them her name was Jazmin from my high school. After talking to her for a while the other girl left the classroom but was more interested in her and Jazmin got mad pissed because when I was saying bye to everybody she looked at me with disgust so I bounce and went chasing after the other girl that left. I remember I met up with one of her friends outside because the party was still going around for the end of the year party for seniors so it was mad chill environment. When her dark skinned friend approached me I was sitting on one of those metal beams that they have in taco bell to make the lines which I got no idea what they are called so the friend asked me "what do you think about my friend Melissa" and I said "yea i think shes mad hot" so then we went looking for her around this huge gazebo like bar where everybody was drinking and partying, which at this point I remember that Mr.Blanco started shutting down the party telling everybody to leave like some type of security guard but everybody ignored him and we went to go look for this chick which I found and had a really good time.

Another dream with many fragments. In one scene I am in this hospital/school/building(?) with a group of people. We are being chased to and fro by some type of monster. I can't make out details of the beast but it seems to be 3 meters tall. The room we are in seems to be a dark and the floors and panels are colored blue. The next scene was outside the room and the group of people accompanying me suddenly change appearance. Their clothes and age resembles somebody in their late teens or 20's. The only individual I can account for is a blond woman with a tomboy haircut. The room outside had many conjoining stair; some are upside down. There doesn't appear to be a lot of walls covering the building, plus-- it is raining. The sky itself is pitch black and other people were just walking up and down the stairs.

The next fragment, I was with a different group of people in a different place. We were in a desperate situation, but of what, I could not tell. The place seemed to be underground, very much like a laboratory. Different walkways connected platforms made of plexiglass and steel. In one instance the group of DCs, were leaving a rather cramped gateway while being followed by ghouls. While the aberrations were right behind them, numbering 20-40, they appeared to be of no harm. In another room, the hallway leading out of the iron gates I came across a large contraption which weighted 5.4 megatons. The materials, it's very composition. eluded me. I suppose it was made of concrete, steel, or some other substance. It was concave shaped and box-like in it's dimension. Some voice in my head or somewhere said that I had to go back-- from where it did not say. There were a bunch of stone archways leading to the "exit". They seemed to be supporting a person crushing mechanism, which vanished and reappeared without notice. I may have seen some DCs under them, but it was of no concern to me. The exit led to a barren wasteland with red rock, a dark sky with an unknown hue, and a generally interesting atmosphere.

The last fragment I could remember took place in a school of some sort. Or maybe it was a boarding house. The hallways were oddly spaced. I was with with a group of people. Something reminded me of high school. The most vivid memory had to do with an abandoned building with plant growth on it. The sky was a beautiful blue, but there were a lot of broken or abandoned houses in it.

Total Sleep: 8ish

Dream 1:

I was in a reality TV show and I was with a married couple who continued to ask me something along the lines of how to stay happily married. The couple are in the music industry and are very popular on TV right now. The husband is a big time music executive and the wife is a singer and they are trying to decide if they should start a family by having a baby. I had to really thing about this question because I didn't know the answer and I went over and over in my head how I didn't know anyone who was happily married. The married couple continued to just stare at me (along with the television cameras) as they eagerly awaited an answer that I never gave them.

Dream 2:

I was dreaming that I was in Nursing school and I was really having a hard time with my finances. I was a full time student with a lot of responsibilities and I had to make a decision on whether to quite school or ask my mother if I can move back in with her. I made the decision to just move back in with my mother and I hated it. She was constantly on my ass about doing things (?) and I began to realized that maybe I mad e a mistake and should have just continued to live on my own and struggle with school instead of living back home with my mother.

Dream (or FA?):

Dreamed I was writing in my dream journal all the dreams I had dreamt the previous night and I had written down many of them. I was overly excited because I had many lucids and I wanted to see if I had broken my own record. When it came down to the counting part…I didn't know how to count! I kept starting all over trying to remember what came after 1, but for the life of me, I couldn't remember. After about 2 or 3 tries, I gave up on concentrating on my numbers and somehow woke myself up and realized it was all a dream and I hadn't any lucids at all.

Dream Frag:

I was looking at buying a house and I could only choose from three homes that I had seen (I had just watched "House Hunters" before I went to bed).

Dream Frag:

Soemthing about me being in a heated argument with my husband...

non lucid
*There was a huge bomb that went off in outside of my apartment. I felt I was responsible for it. So I thought about how I can cover this up because this would have serious consequences.

*I am helping out a old friend. He asked me for the change in my car so I left him have it. I drop him off at CVS and leave for a while. I realize that I left him there, so turn around to go get him. I pick him up and this time I feel so bad I offer him all the money I have.

These might not be all of the dreams I had.

> Might think of this one later.

Edit 2: I'm not sure when I had this dream, But I dreamed of the scene from The Andy Griffith Show in which Rafe Hollister was in jail after having refused his vaccination and Andy was singing "Dig my Grave" Or whatever the song is.

> After a pirate routine and fighting with someone the thought of making kids with Satan (Who was a female dog or something) came up. I (Or whoever I saw through the eyes of) did not do that but thought about it.

This was near and island of some sort and I recall a boat or swimming.

It was (I think) Highly influenced by this video which I saw in the four hours prior to sleeping:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdCgPc5wrcs

And now after I went through the video comments and thought of the video some more, yes it was. I even remember the bats in the dream, Somewhat. I met Satan on a boat, On a raised part of it where the floor had mostly fallen off or was damaged.

I also recall someone moving around on the island which had trees but in general was very dark.

> Three kids had super-powers of some sort

I recall seeing in a house and in the bedroom where the kids lived, I thought of Fairy Oddparents but I never watched the TV show, And an image of one of the (Cartoon) kids had "655" on his shirt when at first I thought it may have been "666". I think it was explained how they got their powers too.

> In a warehouse?

> There was a lucid one or fairly lucid dream at some point of the night.


Reason for editing: The title said this was on September 3 but it was September 6.

No entry for yesterday since I'd rather it not be public, but for documentation's sake I did dream about Dave Strider again like I'd intended! Bro, too! I also became lucid briefly to change the scene twice so I was pleased about that :) Tags/categories for that dream are: lucid, memorable, nightmare, fandom: Homestuck. Now for last night's:

1.
Jake trying to get our mom to buy him a subscription to something on the computer, a game? She won't because she's too busy with job stuff at the moment, and Jake harasses her, asking exactly what she's been doing this whole time since she has yet to gain a single client.

After/at the time this is happening (idk) I'm looking at a Dragon Age mod for a new character race called 'Fajjyn'?? The character is a slightly creepy-looking female with deep eyes, grey skin and bright red hair. Then I hear a short police siren and when I look outside I see the light from a flashlight shining on houses, but the light is pink.

2.
I'm on the floor drawing with Brandie, using paper and pencils. Somehow she is really fast and near-perfect, and I get frustrated because whatever I draw isn't that good. She tries showing me her technique by drawing a rock, and I copy it but the rock looks too flat. We practice more til I create some decent-looking rocks, but unlike her small, smooth stones, mine are large, black and jagged things that pile up in sheets, literally! As I keep drawing, the rocks become real.


notes: During 1, I was feeling upset with Jake for acting that way but I wonder if it's my subconscious worrying that my mom will back out on everything after she's put in so much effort. The drawing dream definitely came from my worrying about being good enough when it comes to my art. But it was cool to draw something into existence, I'd like to try that again sometime!

Also, I had intended to dream about Dave again, but if it happened, I don't recall it.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Also a couple of dreams recalled from normal sleep.

Sleep:

Dream 2(fragments):

I was at some outdoor place with acidic pools.

Dream 3(fragment):

Some kind of place with grids.

WBTB/naps:

Dream 1(fragments):

I was at home and there was something about teleportation to roof, then to bed.

Dream 2:

I was playing Warzone 2100 with SilentEternity, we selected some new map, which was pretty simple, each of us started in corners and there were some AI opponents, my base was in top-right corner. I had 4 oil derricks and few buildings that were unfamiliar to me not looking like something from wz2100, i was trying to figure stuff out for a while and research things and also building a few flamethrower units that looked very detailed. Research was surprisingly quick but there was alot more research topics(Like if WZ2100 needs more research topics that it already has IWL...), In a bit i looked at SilentEternity's side and he had huge bases and lots of stuff, some of his buildings were rendered super simple, like 2D images made from lines, though. I was surprised and asked how he got them so fast and he said "Practice", after that i did some more research including some rank upgrades for parts that allowed units to start on increased exp rank.
