non-lucid

Unfortunately, my excellent recall from yesterday didn't quite continue, but I managed to get enough to fill over half an A4 page in notes. I'm starting to think these poor recall attempts are challenges that will benefit me and really exercise my brain in the morning. Perhaps they are a blessing in disguise, and I'll go further in a shorter amount of time with such intense recall attempts each morning

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

The earliest moment I could recall was taking the bus from a road just outside my house, yet again stressing about arriving on time. Upon arriving at my destination, seemingly after a fade-to-black teleport, I began a fashion class and was seated next to a girl with long black hair. She seemed to be the same girl from the first dream of this series, only her aura was more confident and a little intimidating due to her beauty. She also had more makeup on, which I suppose is fitting for a class about fashion. I'd like to think she resembles a Chinese girl my friends didn't get along with, they called her 绿茶, or "Green Tea Bitch". Once the class ended, I took a bus into the local village nearby to buy some snacks. I never actually entered the shop, and in retrospect, I realize now that the shop was in the wrong location compared to IRL. My dad came to pick me up from the village, and he took me back to where the class was held, only now it was a chef-related job. I had to work with my dad and some teenaged guy, who I was furious at and almost started a fight with. I hated the way he acted, but the details are blank. I got too frustrated to stay in this kitchen/classroom hybrid, so I left back to the village again, only this time my friend Louis was waiting to pick me up in his car. I got in, and we travelled down a short road before I suggested we turn right into a car park, but he mentioned that it's no longer free to park there, so we turn left instead. Louis suddenly decided to make an extremely unsafe left turn in the middle of the road, almost crashing into a black car with an older man inside. The man was furious, but I tried to calm him down with an apologetic gesture through the window. Louis finally continued to drive and take a right turn on to a main road, as the dream began fading into a lost fragment or the end of my sleep cycle

I vaguely remember a fragment of a dream where I talked about Pokemon in a dark, ground floor office lobby. It could fit right after the fashion class, as I believe the person I was talking to was a black haired girl

After 30 minutes of fighting against the yet again continuing construction in the morning, I managed to pull together these fragments and stitch them into what feels like a chronological order. I went out in the afternoon after writing my notes down, and made sure to do many reality checks during my bus journey, which seems to be a common dream element for me now

Recurring elements:
-School
-Family, home
-Local area
-Black haired girl for the second time in a week
-Stressful bus journey on time constraints. Stress in general is common it seems
-Getting angry at someone for the second time

Notes:
-Fell asleep just before 2am and woke up at 9:30, began intense recall at 9:50 and was done by 10:30
-Dreams were not very vivid, but good effort at recall has stuck them in my brain

Lots of dreams. not a lot of time to type. I go back to stettler tomorrow for 10 hour shifts. I have wed and thurs off. week off every 3rd week.

Lucid

Vague, low level lucid. I was in a building with lots of people. I seemed to waste time telling them it's a dream. I don't know why I keep doing that. Lucids are frustrating. They are too short for me. Attempts to stabilize seem to make it worse.

dad

Dream where my dad was sleeping somewhere strange but wanted a hug before bed. I obliged.

food twist

I was in my kitchen serving some spaghetti. I dug down in the bowl it was in but underneath was mac and cheese... ok strange combo. I once ate a burger restaurant that had a mac and cheese burger. I literally had to try it. It was interesting but good.

Jamie break up

I woke up in the middle of the night. The jamie voice kept saying she wants to break up. (We both seem to get voices like that, upon waking. We just push through and ignore them. A simple prayer about voices in my head seems to make it stop.) The voice transitioned to a dream. Jamie was holding a blue ATM card, presumably from ATB and said that we were breaking up. She was trying to bend the card until it broke.

Next dreams seemed to indicate whatever was wrong had been solved somehow.

Kittens

I had a FA. In my room were lots of different kittens wandering in and out of my room. One had a really flat face. Others were of the same color. I noticed a baby skunk. I turned away. A woman's voice said it was cute. I looked and saw the skunk run away. The woman had brown hair. I felt it was somehow both Jamie and Asuka merged into one. I said to keep it away from my dog. He's already been skunked twice...

Construction

I was in a big place under construction. The layout made no sense. Young people 16-20s were working there. There was a bridge by a tricky stairwell... I left and went back to it but the people made the bridge into something else... Very hard to describe dream.

Serpents or dragons. Jamie?

I was a giant flying thing. like a flying dragon or serpent. (Very rarely dream about this form.) There were other beings around kind of like me but different. We were playing a game or something. by an ocean ther was a large cave with something inside. I was to collect what was in the cave and bring it back somewhere. The other flying dragon things were supposed to stop me. I went right under the water and waited for one to fly past the cave and away a distance. It seemed to but before I could move. It latched onto me from above. It was gentle, not harmful or threatening. We flew out of the water. I got up above it and playfully held it. It looked at me and smiled. The being had very light grey eyes that seemed familiar. I said, "Oh I could never harm you. you are so friendly." or something.

After thinking I think it was Jamie. That means she was in a dragon flying form in dreams as well?

Pillar

some weird dream about me and some woman building a pillar with metal or something. Not sure exactly what was going on.

Finally some decent recall, although still somewhat disturbed by loud construction, and likely poor sleeping habits too. These notes took up an entire A4 page, which is the largest dream recall effort since restarting

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

As far back as I could recall, I was starting off in my living room at home, standing on the stairs and watching an embarrassing clip of a speech or performance from my old school days. I got off the stairs and decided to play with my dog on the sofa and carpet for a little while. Eventually, I found myself at the beach on another organized trip with Nat, from a previous dream. I saw the entire area from a birds eye view, and instead of the usual stony beaches of Brighton, it was a cartoonishly bright yellow beach, with a lush cyan ocean. There were large, old, stone-grey buildings inland. I hung out with Nat for a while, but I can't remember exactly what we did together.

Before I knew it, I ended up in an apartment I apparently owned, which was located on my Grandmother's road, but somehow within reach of Brighton Beach. The apartment was a little messy, as if it had just been sold with all the furniture untouched, and it was quite dark and gloomy inside. Instead of being with Nat at this point, I was with an old school friend named Tom. I found a wild boar in the kitchen, with its head stuck in a wooden board that was painted as a gnome, with its a hole cut-out where its face would go, like something you'd find at an amusement park. I informed Tom that the boar needed help being freed, and he came to assist me. He tried yanking the boar's head out, but I suggested we try pulling it from its body instead, as it would fit through the hole much more easily. We slipped the boar out, and it bit me as it frantically escaped and began charging around the kitchen in panic. I came up with the idea to open all doors leading from the kitchen to the front door, so that it had a path to escape, but it didn't seem to work. I headed outside, where I found myself at the entrance to the large, stone-grey buildings I had seen from a bird's eye view, and forgot about the boar, waiting with Tom for Nat to text me back about meeting up. She didn't reply, so I headed out to find somewhere to eat, which was conveniently next to the building complex. I headed between a red and white circus tent on the beach, and the building I had just left, up a wide avenue that eventually connected to an equally wide building. Inside was a long stretch of red and gold carpet, with a counter at the end run by one male and one female staff members. Instead of ordering food, which seemed to be a buffet of some sorts, I headed back out to the main square by the building complex, and called Nat, who didn't pick up.

I headed to a supermarket called Asda, to pick up an insulin shot for my dog (or perhaps the boar?), which began a stressful journey to safely deliver the exposed and delicate syringe, I saw the exact same bird's eye view from earlier, and then found myself in a classroom when it faded. I noticed Tony, a famous advertiser from a Chinese company named LC Sign, getting bullied by a nerd named Matt, who was a classmate of mine alongside Tom many years ago. Matt had said something that really upset Tony, who was now flailing and on the verge of tears. After seeing this, I approached Matt from behind and pushed him down to his chair, and then furiously threatened to rip his head off. He didn't seem to acknowledge my presence, so I left the classroom and landed back at the main square by the beach. I got on to a bike and continued my stressful quest to deliver the exposed syringe, which seemed to be located at the buffet from earlier. I cycled down the long avenue, across the red carpet and dismounted at the counter where the same two staff members began to get agitated that I wasn't buying anything. The female worker, who was fairly young and wearing glasses, demanded that I pay £100 for wasting time. The male worker, who was a little older, stepped in to defend me and dismiss the accusations.

I left the buffet for a second time, and found myself in the square yet again. This time, Nat actually responded to me and I met up with her outside the science block of my old school, where I showed her a video that broke down the design of the building my apartment was located in. It showed a long, narrow strip of rooms connected, and mine was at the end. The male narrator informed us that my room was called "Warren House", and a 3D render of the narrow strip of rooms was animated as it broke it down to explain. The dream then ended with a third and final bird's eye view of the area, exactly the same as the prior two

Considering how terrible my recall situation has been, this was a very solid entry for once. I'm very happy with how many details I remember, even 7 hours after scribbling the notes. I'm excited to see what my dreams are like tomorrow morning

Recurring elements:
-Nat, second time she has been featured
-School, marking the fourth dream out of five this week
-Family, home. This would be the third(?) dream out of five
-Travel, the second dream travelling with Nat in particular

Notes:
-Slept at 2am, woke up at 10am
-Recall was initially a challenge, but managed to piece together a lot in 30 minutes
-I wouldn't say the dreams were vivid, despite good recall

This morning was my biggest challenge since starting my new dream journal. The construction outside continues to be as loud as possible at the worst possible time. I could only recall 3 small fragments in half an hour of trying to relax during the barrage of saws outside, and then an important parcel arrived which forced me out of bed to sign for it...

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I believe the earliest fragment, and last to recall, was me in a house at night, but that's it. I also recall visiting my sister and her partner in their house, to help them fix the wifi. For some reason, I had a pod of some black liquid that I accidentally spilled on the couch, but was told it doesn't matter. Fast forward a short amount of time, I was in my own house, upstairs, working in the loft. My sister was driving a small crane, carrying large logs and planks up the stairs for me to put inside the loft and create a bridge. The rest is unfortunately lost

Again, this is worst day so far, with each day seemingly getting worse as far as recall goes. Hopefully the construction stops soon, so that I have enough time and focus to pick up more fragments and make something worthwhile out of them. Since my recall hasn't been great, I've decided to write down everything, no matter how uninteresting, or how small. Speaking of small, I have an image in my head of a blue sky and a large building, but it feels more like deja vu than a dream fragment. I am confident that the night time house was part of a dream, but this image could not be

Recurring dream elements:
-Family, home

Notes:
-Slept at 1:40am, woke up at 9:30am and recalled until 10am. 7 hours is typically the best amount of sleep for me
-Tried mantras, but not for long enough as I got distracted before falling asleep suddenly. Will continue to try and form a good habit
-I typed up yesterday's dream 12 hours after writing the notes, hoping it would impact me positively, but this morning was so bad that it's hard to know if it did anything

First of all, what an insane title for this dream. Neighbours continue to do construction exactly at the time I start trying to recall and connect dream fragments...

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I find myself as school, yet again, but it's much bigger and almost maze-like due to the sheer amount of small buildings around the pathways connecting them. I was in a science class with old friends, messing around and being terrible students. We decided we would go on a trip, but my company shifted into one girl, nicknamed Nat. Her and I's plan was to travel to a random city for fun, something we've been planning to do IRL. I can't recall what we did, but on the way back we panicked about time and money. We stopped off at a small Cafe for some food, but it was now me and my aunt, as well as others I couldn't identify. I left and re-entered this Cafe as well as repeating a food order for some reason. After leaving, I found myself in a jungle with the school friends mentioned before. One friend asked me to find him a porn video, which I found, but somehow couldn't share the link with him. I felt very uninterested in doing so anyway. As the jungle trek continued, over a large log connecting two cliff faces, I found myself with yet again new company, this time Katie Price (a British celebrity) and her disabled son Harvey. We found an outdoor cinema built into a jungle opening, which extended down many layers. Harvey was fascinated by this cinema, but we really had to leave. It was a challenge convincing him to go, but succeeded anyway. We now arrived at my dad's house, where Harvey had discovered my collection of ecchi anime that, for whatever reason, came with a boxset of 13 extremely thick dictionaries. I pleaded with my mother to confiscate the tray full of ecchi anime and dictionaries from the poor disabled man that was definitely not ready to try and comprehend what he might discover. I remember seeing a projection of an anime girl wearing a blue Japanese swim team costume twerking in a gif format. She had tanned skin and shoulder-length green hair. I then asked my mother why there were so many dictionaries, before drifting off into a black void.

Not the most interesting dream, but it is certainly hilarious to think back on. Again, recall was very difficult on this one, but given my similar experience yesterday, I kept relaxed through the loud construction work and managed to piece together enough of the dream to fill up 2/3 of a page in my notebook. Good enough

Recurring dream elements:
-School, for the third night in row. No surprise given how common this has been for 15 years. Unfortunately, cannot take advantage of it much
-Travelling and worrying about missing trains or not having money. Seems stress leaks into my dreams often

Notes:
-Considering adding sleep/wake up times for future entries to recalculate REM
-Also considering paying attention to waking up during the night, and if dreams happened. Rarely happens though
-Would like to focus more on mantras, had no luck last night. Almost accidentally committed to a WILD attempt, but was not prepared for it so I moved and ended the spinning+visualization I suddenly experienced

My second dream since restarting a dream journal. I had a lot of trouble recalling this one, and almost gave up, but I managed to stitch together enough fragments

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

The dream seemed to begin on a dark, destroyed map from The Headliners, which gameplay elements from Monster Hunter. I somehow ended up in an office, talking to Herman Li (of DragonForce) about his upcoming tour. He suggested that I buy tickets online, and receive one ticket for a US show, and one for Japan for some reason. I agreed, and decided to head to the local supermarket for some snacks to take with me. I came across what looked like an energy drink in a hard plastic bottle, which was themed around the bugs in Monster Hunter. I revisited this shelf to buy several of the same drink. I then ended up in my Grandmother's old house from when I was a child, but I don't remember much here. I went back to the supermarket one last time, and found there was no stock of the drink I had bought multiple times. Instead, there was one drink on the shelf, also from the Monster Hunter theme, called "Flash Phosphor". I picked it up, and a woman behind me got angry that I had taken the final one, but I ignored her entirely and went off to pay at the self-checkout. I went back out to the destroyed road, where it was dark and quiet. I turn around, and I realize I am being followed by two Jawa-like creature, but they are not harmful. Suddenly, two hideous women on Seikrets from Monster Hunter ride out past me. I seemed to assume they were from Final Fantasy, and was annoyed at how terrible the character designs of the franchise had become. They were shaved bald, obese and covered in tattoos. I continued down the dark road, and came across an eerie reception, where I could see small creatures similar to the Jawas from before, only they now resembled small, sad robots. They were completely lifeless, sitting in place with a sad expression.

Hopefully tomorrow is more vivid

Recurring dream elements:
-Monster Hunter, twice in a row now
-The Headliners, a game I've been playing daily with my friends. I will perform reality checks on both games now
-Local supermarket, visited IRL yesterday

Notes:
-Recall was very difficult and dreams were not vivid

It's been almost 5 years since I updated my DJ here, but having had a recent LD during an afternoon nap for the first time in a few years, I wanted to start pursuing it again for fun

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I started in the street of a shopping centre, doing some kind of messy Monster Hunter fight, with creatures flying in the sky directly above. After that, I went to some kind of theme park nearby, and entered some kind of mini-game house. Inside, there was an artificial grass hill with fake trees decorating it, and seemed to resemble a shooting gallery of some sorts. Myself and a male dream character had to shoot balloons that were rolling down the hill with a water gun, which needed to be reloaded with a hose against the back wall. I asked the dream character to help me reload my gun, but decided to get up and walk into the next room. In that room, I met a girl with long black hair, possibly Asian or Latina, and felt like I was there on some romantic occasion. An old lady let us stay in this new building, and I decided to go into the bathroom to freshen up after dropping off my belongings in the bedroom (which was also the living room?). I went into the kitchen, where things got a bit spicy with the girl, until a guy came in and seemed to claim her as his own. I remember being a little angry, and I walked outside with this guy, back to the street with the Monster Hunter creatures, and he reminded me about the lore behind the first 5 creatures created, the second of which was called Hawk Tuah (???). He then continues to claim this girl, getting hands on with her and holding her hand as she looked miserable. I took my anger out on a bus stop and started doing insane Monster Hunter combos on a nearby bus stop, juggling it in the air. Suddenly, everyone's voices became distorted and robotic like Hatsune Miku, and I left to go on a rollercoaster with the girl. The ride had no safety harness, and leaped off the track into the air before barely landing on another track several feet away. After getting off the ride, I found myself back outside my house investigating a shooting threat that took place in the local forest I often dream about. The suspect was a horribly disfigured bald man, which ended up waking me up a few hours later with nothing I could recall between

Overall, this was a great effort at dream recall considering I hadn't done it for 5 years prior. I was lucky to have left out a notepad the night before to get some notes scribbled down quickly after recalling as much as I could

Recurring dream elements:
-Monster Hunter, played a lot of Wilds since it came out 2 weeks ago
-Local forest area, very common

Notes:
-First DJ entry in 5 years, strong recall ability

Had a panic moment when DV wasn't loading for a bit...

Jamie 1

Not pg 13... Me and Jamie were watching porn.... Jamie excitely pointed at the screen at something I won't mention.


Oh well. Weather we are being good or getting into trouble as long as "we're together".

Jamie 2

I'm not in the dream. Jamie is with some woman. They are... I won't mention. But jamie abruptly cuts the woman off and leaves quickly and angrily. I think the voice was telling me something like this.

Other random dreams I can't seem to recall much. One was work related. I was working with a ladder but the ladder went away? not sure.

I was hoping the more affectionate dreams can come back. Like hugging, hand holding, and kissing.

BTW everyone is working out of town but me until next week. If Jamie wants to do one of her drive by stuff on me... or even talk to me. These next few days are a great time. I'll be watching!!!

Let's try to be good from now on.

Last night’s lucid dream was insane! 😱 Here’s how it went down:

🕰 **Slept at 11:30 PM with the intention to wake up at 4 AM.**
⏰ **Woke up at 4:01 AM, stayed up till 4:06 AM, then did SSILD.**
⏳ **It took an hour, then I got up, went to the bathroom, did another SSILD cycle, and fell asleep in 10 minutes.**

💤 **DEILD Attempts:**
I woke up twice during the night and tried DEILD but moved my foot by mistake both times. 😭 Instead, I did a short SSILD cycle and fell asleep both times.

🌟 **Lucid Dream Begins:**
I was in front of my school with classmates when I randomly decided to do a reality check. 🏫👀 I pinched my nose and—BOOM—I was dreaming! 😲 But then, something in the dream started pulling my arms, trying to take away my lucidity. 😨 I resisted and yelled “FU!” 🤬 and suddenly, everything went black.

⚠ **False Awakening (FA) #1**
I expected an FA and woke up in an unfamiliar house, but the bed was mine. 🛏️ I stabilized by rubbing my hands and touching the ground—it felt *so real*! 🙌 Then, I explored the house:
🏡 **Lobby:** Plastic plants on a table.
📖 **Room:** A white room with an almirah near the entrance. On the top shelf were photo frames with quotes—one said *“positivity conscious.”* 🤔
📦 **Shelf Below:** Shoeboxes! I tried summoning an anime figure inside one, but lids kept appearing. After opening three lids, I found... useless trash. 😑

🚀 **Flying & the Void:**
I went outside and found myself in my street. I tried flying and—for the first time—felt the *wind* while flying! 🌬️ But it wasn’t as thrilling as I hoped since I had no fear of heights. Next time, I’ll try to *create* fear for a better experience! 😈 Eventually, I got pulled into the void.

⚠ **False Awakening (FA) #2**
I *chose* to have another FA and woke up in the same bed. But this time, I got scared because something *moved near my bed in the dark.* 😨 Instead of panicking, I tried **Inception-style dream-sleep** 🌀 by lying down to enter another dream. After 10 seconds of nothing happening, I gave up and went outside.

🌌 **Hyper-Realistic World & Dream Memory Confusion:**
- I looked at the stars and demanded *clarity.* The dream zoomed out, and I told my right eye to remove *just a little* blurriness. It worked! 👁️✨
- Another FA, but this time it was *daytime.* 🌞
- Everything looked **hyper-realistic.** The colors of the plants were insane! 🍃💚
- I floated to a house, and memories *flooded* my mind—I thought, *“Wow, this is where my relatives and I had a party!”* 🎉
- Inside, I saw *fake models* of my relatives sitting exactly as I remembered them. 😳 *But when I woke up, I realized... that party never happened!* It was just a dream I had *last year!* 🤯

⚠ **False Awakening (FA) #3**
This time, I was on a balcony, but my house was now in a market area. 🤷*♂️ A dream character below asked for the price of shirts. 👕 I jumped down and told him 350. 💰 We started arguing, and he *poked my chest*—I actually felt pain (about 50% of real life)! 😵 (I also felt pain earlier when flying into a thorny bush. &#127807

👀 **Weird Ending:**
The dream character and a girl started talking in gibberish. 🤪 I pulled the girl with me and *tried* having lucid x, but her skin felt like **cloth.** 🏴 It was too dark, which ruined my mood, so I *went back to the void* and tried waking up in a **helicopter** 🚁 but woke up IRL instead. 😅

---

Overall, this dream was **crazy**—so much control, multiple FAs, hyper-realistic moments, and even pain! 😵*💫 Can’t wait for the next one!

As if in response to my last entry, there was a couple nights I had a tough time talking to the voice. Her voice admitted to being distant and apologized. Lately we've both seemed to be mentally entertaining similar vices we have. Not physically at least, and I won't say what. Her voice asked for privacy in the matter. But last night we both seemed to agree that said vices threatens to keep us apart, and we are both addicted to the security of coming back together after mentally dipping our toes in danger.It's kind of like the couple that breaks up all the time to have make up sex. But it's not specifically that. Maybe it's a borderline thing, I dunno. I just hope IRL we can find better ways to keep the relationship exciting and safe. Having a stable relationship can be boring sometimes, but it's better for people like us in the long run

Dreams:

Fire

There was a tiny demon in Jamie's room laughing and setting fire to her room.

Jamie


Quick flash of me being on a dock at night. Jamie was there with me staring at me.

Last night was INSANE! I had one of my best lucid dreams so far, and I finally stabilized well enough to feel the dream world 100% accurately! Here’s how it went:

😴 WBTB & SSILD Attempt

I woke up at the same time for WBTB, but during SSILD, I kept getting distracted in the first few cycles.

I tried a 1-minute hyper-focus cycle, but still got distracted.

After a few minutes, I fell asleep and had a normal dream—but my awareness was slightly higher than usual.

💡 Low Lucidity Moment

Suddenly, I found myself in my room, looking at my dirty white shoes.

I knew it was a dream, but my lucidity was barely 1/10—super blurry vision, foggy thinking.

I realized if I didn’t act fast, the dream would take away my lucidity!

🔥 Boosting My Lucidity from 1/10 to 9/10!

I snapped my fingers, and my shoes instantly became clean (small dream control success!).

I got up and tried to move, but my vision was still messed up.

I randomly started dancing (lol, no idea why) to boost lucidity, but it didn’t work. 😆

Then I did finger counting (using math to increase logic), and it helped a little!

Finally, I rubbed my hands together—BOOM! My skin felt 100% real, and my lucidity jumped to 9/10!

I touched the ground, and for the first time ever, I could fully feel the texture of the tiles!

🌀 The Void & Dream Scene Change Attempt

I got excited and thought, "Should I spawn a girl?" but instead, my body started elongating weirdly.

I focused on the feeling of elongation, and suddenly, I was in the void—but I could still feel my fingers and the stretching sensation.

I tried to visualize a beach, but it just looked like a laptop wallpaper instead of a real dream. 😅

When the dream finally formed, I was inside Minecraft spectator mode, and then I found myself playing the game on my laptop!

My lucidity dropped a bit here, and instead of breaking out of the game, I tried to press the ESC key (lol, if I were more lucid, I’d have thrown my laptop away).

🚨 Woke Up Due to Overheating

I tried to close the game, but it didn’t work, and then I woke up, covered in sweat—probably because of too many blankets. 😆

Overall, this was an epic success! If I can get this level of lucidity once, I can definitely do it again! 💪🔥

Jamie 1

Just a flash of Jamie looking at me from somewhere. couldn't malke out much details. I had this flash while praying very tired.

Jamie 2

I was at a bar or something. Jamie was working there. My home animals were there. I was petting a black cat who seemed larger than normal. My dog was also there. Jamie was behind a bar working away, she didn't mind that I was there.

???

Some guy I barely know A, was looking at me strangely from an above place. Like he was watching me go through my current dream.

Jamie 3

I was in a bedroom with Jamie. There was no light on. There were a bunch of boxes or something. We were moving them out of the way.

Jamie 4

Just a flash of me and Jamie walking into a courthouse during the daytime.

I think the secret to more Jamie dreams is imagining I'm holding her in my be while I talk to her voice. We both seem to enjoy imagining a few different scenarios. and there still is a sensation, like we are both doing so with some spirit body???

Weather is finally decent. Maybe Jamie will start her drive bys again? I'll be watching.

Jamie

Jamie hands me a bagel and cream cheese.

Actually, I remember getting that with her through a drive thru once.

WTF

Longer dream that I can't recall. Only part I remember is that me and my dad were watching something on a computer monitor. One of those curved ones. There were ghastly women who were naked... but they were half dead. They were showing really gross things on the screen. Vibe was: creepy, scary, disturbing.

Not much else to report....

Been trying melatonin chewables.... they taste good but not helping much.

Jamie

Only dream I seem to recall with Jamie in it. I was starting work at a new factory or warehouse job or something. Jamie was there, also a new hire. We are on lunch break or something. I'm at a table and I look at another table and see Jamie is sitting with some woman. The woman turns her head right around to look my way and turns back after a second. They were talking about me?

After work I'm following Jamioe home. We are walking. I go up a street on a hill to not be so obvious. (IRL I would never stalk anyone.) The streets look like the ones on GTA5 (Been grinding that game online, taking a break from Cringenight). After that my memory fades.

I have a conversation about the dream with Her voice. She said that she was telling the woman in the dream that I'm her boyfriend.

What?

I was hanging around a guy I used to hang around with... Another J. he said him and his family were moving to texas or something.

That's all. I hope I have more Jamie dreams.

Part of a longer dream. This last and most memorable part seems to have taken place in something like a campsite restroom, a long wooden building with an entrance on one end. Inside, I see NR standing by the row of sinks, washing his hands and clearly with his good cheer not the least bit dampened by having just reached into one of the toilets to retrieve somebody’s smartwatch. It’s not like it was even his - probably one of his students’. The man must really be some kind of goddamn saint or something.

“Weren’t you reaching into a toilet the last time I saw you too?” I ask. This memory was almost certainly from a “draft” of the same dream earlier in the night, which I get sometimes, only in that one, it was someone’s phone that had fallen in.

16.2.25


In a room reminiscent of the living area in the basement of childhood home #5. In the dream, it seems to be somebody else’s house. That person is telling me about the folklore surrounding creatures called pultecs that preside over memories, apparently. A long time ago, people would hollow out acorns and leave them out for the pultecs so that they could carry memories around in those and hopefully drop a few less of them than they would otherwise.

(Note: This may reflect concerns involving a relative dealing with some memory issues, or possibly a shift of focus on my part from just trying to incubate good, restful sleep back to dream recall, now that the former seems to be less of an issue. Additional note: Pultec is actually the name of a line of vintage EQs, and I have no idea why my dreaming mind decided to call the creatures that unless it was because the sound of the word just seemed right for the little guys.)

I’m in an arcade with an unfamiliar layout, at the Dance Dance Revolution machine. A couple people are there with me - it isn’t clear whether they’re people I know or who just happened to be there as well. I see on the menu that there’s some kind of story mode option, which I’ve never tried before, so I decide to give it a shot. Might make a nice warm-up. There’s a character selection screen, and then something like a one-player racing game begins. Stepping on the arrows moves the character in different directions, but there also seems to be some kind of motion tracking as well, since leaning to one side or the other also moves the character. No rhythm component, though.

I’m talking to the people there as I play, but returning my full attention to the screen, I notice the character isn’t moving. What happened? Did I run out of something I was supposed to be collecting and die? I open a menu which has two columns of entries giving various information, including one that confirms my suspicions. It says, Status: Died. Right below it is another that says, Reason: Bored.

I woke up right after that. I guess the game was just that boring….
