Non-Lucid Dreams
ok so its been a while... most memorable moment last night was standing overlooking a field with my bro. it felt like a new place for us to call home. like we were out looking for some land or house to live in. to my left was a big church type building lining the field. in front of us i noticed that the land was bordered by quite a wide river which was great to see. it flowed right to left all along my vision with a channel cut going away from us which funneled some of it into a large lake system. we ran down the slope of the hill and started kicking a football around. i was trying to keep the ball under my control, but it was very difficult. not quite wading in treacle but definitely one of those sticky moving dreams where your feet feel like lead. dreamsigns missed: river, football, amazing scenery
Sleep Time: 11:20 p.m - 5:52 a.m Night Drive and a Kitty I'm driving somewhere. It's dark out which I find odd because it is early in the afternoon. I notice the stars are very clear. Dream Jump: I'm adopting an 8 month old orange tabby named Freddie. Sleep Time: 7:30 a.m - 9:50 a.m Strange School I'm subbing at some random school. I'm not scheduled to work, I just walk into different classrooms..
Public Service Lesson My sister is carrying some food, walking towards us. Maybe a pound of PB&J slides out of her food and lands on the sidewalk. Gross. But of course she doesn't even pause to consider picking it up. My mom takes the opportunity to grab a paper towel and clean it up for her, at the same time giving her a verbal lecture about being a good citizen. Obviously, my sister's heard all of these things before, but Mom gives the explanation as though she's talking to a small child. I think that's a good way to do it--subtly imply that anyone except a small child should already know these rules. Mom finishes the lecture by pointing out that if any food gets stuck on the rim of the trash can while you're throwing it away, you should wipe off the trash can as well. Private Investigator I'm in a diner, talking to a suspect. I'm trying to trick him into admitting something. I know that he knows that's what I'm trying to do, though, so I'll have to be doubly clever. We're walking around the building, through various rooms, when someone body-checks me into a counter. In a threatening voice, he says I've been talking to too many Asians. Obviously, he wants me to stop asking so many questions. I walk toward the front of the diner. A manager sits at a table there, talking to someone else. It looks like they're doing a drug deal, except they're exchanging magazines. Frags: "election results"During the morning, I'm walking around doing various things, all of which must be completed by a specific time in the afternoon. When I check my watch, I realize that it's already past 11:00--much later than I thought it was.
I saw from a very high vantage point many railway lines, where trains slowly switched. A man had planted bombs under the tracks, and I saw when they exploded how trains were toppled, people scrambled and trains vainly continued moving on. At one point, people actually managed to somehow push a train upright and cram back in, only for there to be another bomb. Next, my view changed and I was on a high platform watching people truying to avoid gunshots, in what looked, seemed like a maze, and I willed that the people I liked would stay away from vulnerable spots. I saw in detail how the man had prepared his attack and the arsenl he used. Finally, it was the aftermath and few people dared go in public, but I was in a complex of buildings when I heard bangs and left with a man who had military experience, who would surely be the best hope for escape. We needed to move through a corridor which had glass window panes for walls pretty much, and as I clung to the bottom, knowing the wooden part of the wall could not conceal me, I saw the man with his gun in his hand. He could so easily look and see us... The dreamsigns were railway tracks and bullets, which both reoccur infrequently. I think hearing fireworks may have suggested guns and bombs to me. I can't call it a nightmare because there wasn't much of an aura of fear, most dreams of this kind are like that though. I'm not in harm's way in nightmares as often as not.
I never thought my dream recall would be THIS good! I think i'm going into an improvement hump of some sort. Thunderstorm I was dreaming about being at my house. I think that my cousins were there. And there was a really big storm coming. I can remember rain falling diagonally and strong winds buckling my home's foundation. I looked out on the deck behind our house, and to the northwest there was a huge vortex. Not a tornado, but a large swirl of clouds in the sky. The clouds were so dense from the storm that it was nearly black. The sky was a dark blue-grey. Lightning strikes were so frequent it sounded like machinegun fire. I wanted to photograph the large swirling thunderstorm. I ran to get my digital camera. By the time that I got it, my cousin told me to go outside on the front porch. The swirling storm had moved to the northeast. I tried to photograph it but I think that my camera was out of battery or something. (Do note that It only took me about 30 seconds to get my camera ready, and the storm had moved across the sky in that time frame.) Zombie Apocalypse This dream was excruciatingly long. I can only remember certain fragments of it. It is an unrealistic war scenario, I know. I was watching a news broadcast. It was coverage of a team of united states navy seals. (The news broadcast said so.) They were on some sort of mission in this cave. The walls of the cave were a bright orange sandstone. This woman ran out into the middle of the cavern, and got shot in the head. Somehow despite that, she ran to the other side. When the woman reached the other side, she fell over. A medic said that they needed to get the bullet out of her brain, and had to conduct surgery during the battle. He took off her helmet, then began opening her head with a crowbar. (Ill leave you to imagine all of the gruesome details of this.) Obviously, this killed her. My mother told me that the united states had accidentally declared war with a powerful middle-eastern country. She said that we had to run several miles through war-torn America to reach the nearest airport, where we would be flown to safety. I looked out the window of my room and could hear and see a battle taking place in the distance. I had been ordered to help with the evacuations. Someone wanted me to evacuate some kind of old folks home or mental institution. I can't remember what one it actually was, but it sort of had a "hospital" feel too it. It was a large, concrete building. Despite the hospital feeling, the atmosphere in the building was very dark. Most of the lights were burned out. The walls were raw concrete and the floors were worn wood. When I got inside, I was told that the patients were organized by floor. The patients with more severe illness were higher up, and those who were less ill were kept lower to the ground floor. I made my way up a staircase to the upper floors. The upper floors were dark and frightening. I returned to the downstairs. I was making my way through the city, trying to get to the airport. The city consisted of only one and two story buildings. There were silhouettes of mountains all around us. It was nighttime, but there were plenty of streetlights keeping the area bright. The entire scene was in chaos. Rockets, gunfire, grenades, people running and screaming. Despite all of this, I was pretty calm. I can remember someone saying something about zombies. I remember passing by a man in a military uniform. When I looked closely at his face, he had yellow eyes and white skin. He was a zombie, but was acting normal; directing people and trying to control the chaos. He told me to keep heading towards the airport. I got impatient at this point and saw a family driving a black pickup truck though the city. I knew they wouldn't let me get in the cab, so I hopped into the back. They didn't even yell at me, and seemed to be heading towards the airport. More people followed me, and soon we had three or four people riding in the back of the pickup. I was almost to the airport. I saw a huge jumbo jet take off and fly right over me. I could see the landing strip in the distance. The first rays of sunshine were peeking over the mountains. I had a feeling of hope. I was going to survive the war. AI Theft I always save the most interesting dreams for my last post. This dream just about had it all. Good clarity, interesting, congruent plotline, and I got lucid. Bonus! The dream started out with me being introduced to this dream character. He was a meek, thin man. He was mostly bald with thick, square glasses, and pale skin. It would be hard to nail his age. He told me a long story about he had invented a new type of chip that could be used in robots to make them artificially intelligent. But a large corporation stole his idea and was about to present it. He told me to run out onto the stage and grab the robot's head and return it to him. I was on the right hand side of the stage, out of sight of everyone. The stage very shiny and made of chrome. There was a small raised platform in the center of the stage, where the robot stood. The robot had been given the body of a woman, including what I assumed was some sort of synthetic skin that allowed it to look like a real woman. But I knew that was not important. All that I really needed was the computer brain. There was a man on the stage. He was short, fat and well dressed. He was giving a speech about the new robot that he had "invented". I can also remember seeing some flashes from the audience, pictures being taken. I took about the most low-tech approach to retrieving the man's robot. Went onto the stage, grabbed the robot, and dragged it off. The man giving the speech remained oblivious, as did the audience. I thought that I was in the clear. But I noticed two of these security guards approaching. They had nightsticks and riot shields. I opened the robot's head on the back, and removed the brain. The chip glowed with a harsh blue-green light. The man who had assigned the task threw down a small device that created a portal. He walked thought it. I jumped through it just before the guards could grab me. We exited the portal in the man's house. For some reason, I had gotten the feeling that alot of time had passed since we had been on the stage. As though we had been on the run for awhile with the "stolen" chip. His home had somehow become our last stand before we were captured. His house seemed pretty nice. He had this huge open living room with this warmly colored wooden floor area with bamboo growing and a modern water feature, essentially, a modern indoor zen garden. He said that he wanted to hide the robot chip. I told him we should hide it upstairs, under the bed. He agreed with my idea, and put the microchip under the bed and sat on the bed. I heard the policemen smash down the door. They came straight upstairs into the bedroom, handcuffed both of us and confiscated the microchip. As we were being walked out of the house, the chip started screaming. "No! NO! NOOO!" One of the policemen was carrying a tablet, something like an Ipad. The chip shot a beam at the tablet, and the beam was surrounded with holographic letters and numbers. I saw a face appear on the screen of the tablet. The AI on the microchip had actually transferred itself into the policeman's tablet. At this point, all of the policemen left, and they left the tablet behind for me and the bald man were left. We walked downstairs and sat down in his wonderful indoor zen-garden area. He went and got us drinks, I think he got me a 7-up or mountain dew. A message appeared on the tablet's screen. The bald man told me that I had to bypass the tablet's internal security systems so that the AI that the man had created would be able to permanently implant itself in the computer system. The "bypass" seemed something like a game. I can remember these red shapes, that looked like tetris pieces would form barriers and try to attack the small cyan oracle in the center of the screen. At first the "game" was easy, but eventually it got far more difficult. Although I think I won. After that, the man thanked me for all of the help in returning his AI robot to safety. After that, we talked for several minutes. It was a very profound conversation, and we hit on alot of important topics in life. (Love,money,death) I can remember we really bonded and the man had many interesting stories to tell. We began to touch upon the topic of lucid dreaming. I started to think about the entire situation. "Do you ever think that you've lived your whole life in someone else's dream." "No!" "You know what, I think this is a dream. Look" I held out my hand and tried to create a flame or some kind of energy ora to convince this man. It didn't work. The dream started to get darker. And even though I was lucid, I WANTED to wake up. The dream had dragged on for so long that I was worried that I wouldn't be able to remember the entire thing. I tried to think about myself laying in bed, knowing that that is a way to wake yourself up. I could somehow sense that the man that I had been allied with throughout the dream was the one keeping me from waking up. It took about thirty seconds, the dream getting darker and darker until, finally I woke up.

I appear in a space station. This old man is here telling me about all the constellations. I look out the window and the constellations were mostly from skyrim. Then these kids appear and they run around the place. In the middle of the room is a pillar and there is a blue substance floating around it. I accidently rip the substance a part while chasing the kids around. Then there mother comes and she is pretty mad. The kids vanish and she says "There's just so much pressure.." I angrily say "What pressure!?" She says "I've been up here for many years and nobody even cares!" I reply "Let me guess..your up here because you are afraid of the apocalypse, listen, theres no logical reason why you should be afraid, do you know why?" she just stares at me. I say "We are all destined to die one day, there is no point in being afraid of something that is inevitable" I then prepare to leave but before I do I say "I hope you considered what I've said" I am transported back to a parking lot. It is midday. I see my mothers car. I walk up to it and the dream ends...
Toboggan I was watching 5 or 6 people go down a snowy or icy hill. I was viewing it as though I were going backwards, but it was more like a movie. I or a DC commented that two of the people on one toboggan were very small people. Then I was going down the hill with them. I was listening to a song that I've only heard one or two times IWL. I would call it speed metal. I think it's funny that my mind recalled a song that I can't remember now that I'm awake. Anyway, I was going about 50 miles per hour. It was very fast, and there were cars around. I started getting scared, but the music was awesome and I tried to feel like I would have when I was younger and more likely to get into such a position anyway--brave! I relaxed a little, but I was going to hit a car. Then I found that there was someone who would wait until the last second and then hit any car that someone was going to hit. This person who hit them on purpose would knock them clean out of our way like on Sonic the Hedge Hog. It would be physically impossible in waking life, but it would clear the street for the tobogganers. Now that I log this dream, this may have been induced by an accident that I saw yesterday. I heard a loud crash and then a red car spinning out of control. It got slammed! In my dream, the guy cleared the way for me two times. I watched the cars clear my view in two frames. The car would be turned in another position instantly, then it was gone. ~ Almost with J-Lo I was ready to do her. I asked if I could do her or something and she said "It's your penis, not mine." I stroked it a couple times and as I was ready, the dream ended. Yes, disappointing. False Arrest I was in a room. Someone from AstralSoft I think, was in another room. We were being held against our will. My brother was one of the people keeping me in the room I think. The floor had an inch of water, and there were snakes on the ground and on the walls. That didn't really bother me because I like snakes, but the entire scene was discomforting. Snakes would fall from the wall from time to time and pop on the ground and die. Then there was a snake with different segments. I had a false memory of this snake as also being harmless. I started to pet it and maybe pop it by section. Someone asked what I thought. I said, "False arrest is what I call it!" From there, I started getting more freedom. I was talking to someone explaining the situation. The floor became dry, and eventually I was out of the room. The other guy was going to start getting more freedom. ~ I'm not Pretty A girl was telling me she wasn't pretty. She had leaves in her hair as part of her attire. I told her to look at a Pin Oak leaf in her hair. I pulled it out and showed it to her. It was a dead leaf. I told her it was because the leaf was dead, not because she wasn't pretty.
So I'm trying out a new method of trying to induce AP/OBE Basically in summary (though there's a lot more meaning behind the steps) 1. I take a small nap for about 1 hour to 90 minutes. 2. Wake up, stay up for 30 minutes to an hour 3. Practice relaxing, which shouldn't be too hard since the Pre-Sleep will make my body relaxed. 4. When I realize I'm in a state of complete relaxation and different awareness, I'll pretend there's a rope that I'm climbing, and apply passive awareness combined with deliberate force to keep climbing until I feel the sensation that I'm "Out of Body" Or in a "Dream Body." ------------ Not sure if the dream recall pitched a bit because of it, but I'm going to keep it up. I'll probably still do another WBTB with it, but just practicing these small steps first. 11.06.2012Sex with Rich People Fetish (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID There's a thread on DV where someone mentions how they feel when they have sex with rich people, sort of like a fetish thing._________________________ 11.06.2012The Green Chalk Board (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID All I remember is being inside of a small classroom, and there was a guest speaker that was trying to explain to us a few things, but I remained passive and found the whole thing boring. That was until he introduced something to the class that was actually interesting, and it enticed me to get up an interact with them. Some of the dream characters looked exactly like the main characters from the show "Recess." It makes sense, since I was watching a MEP (Multi-Editor Project) video that involved using some song with clips from the show yesterday. The content was all on the green chalkboard, and I can't recall exactly what enticed me._________________________ 11.06.2012REM Cycle Graph (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I wake up and noticed there's a REM Cycle graph that tracked my sleeping cycles for the night apparently, similar to IamCoder's program involving using mouse clicks to record when you sleep, and for how long you keep it up before hitting REM cycles. It was on a white background graph, and the lines of data, or heartbeat type of lines were various colors of blue, and there were a few red lines as well._________________________ 11.06.2012Suena and Link (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Suena mentions a post about some link that makes her feel a certain way, then I was wondering if she meant link as in my username Linkzelda. After having thoughts of confusion circling around for a while, I finally realize she just meant link as in a website link. _________________________ 11.06.2012The Sidewalk of Changing Events (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID All I remember is that I'm walking on a sidewalk, mostly on the left side if you're looking at this screen. There's a lot going on, many people coming and going, many vehicles disappearing, and being replaced with new ones. I turn around back and forth a few times, and realize that almost everything I do that, something changes in this environment. The atmosphere was neutral, gray colored and all, and it felt like morning or an afternoon with gray skies foreshadowing rain or something. _________________________ 11.06.2012Random DV Thread (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID There's some thread I'm reading on DV, and there's a lot of members having conversations in it. To list a few: f0rceez Erii (I think) Alyzarin Linkzelda (me) and a lot more, but I can't recall the rest. There were a lot of jokes exchanged and people recieving likes. Other than that, I can't remember anything else._________________________ 11.06.2012Picture of Myself (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I'm looking at a picture of myself on a laptop, and I'm wearing a black shirt, and I have my hair at a low level like I do in waking life at the moment. I put on a smile for whatever camera I'm talking the picture in, and I noticed my teeth don't belong on my face, it feels like I'm wearing someone's teeth. Maybe the teeth were just misaligned that made me presume that.
//No LDs.// #1 - Totally Spies. I was one of Totally Spies and our chief, Jerry, gave us mission. The problem is, I didn't know what is the mission. I also didn't know if other spies in my group knew. After leaving Jerry's office, we went to the shop that is near my house. We were there with my little cousin, I even didn't know why we were in the shop. Anyway, I started wondering why our chief didn't give us any gadgets to fight. Then I left the shop... and entered it again. Cousin was arguing with seller. He was cursing on her, called her an idiot. I felt bad. It was my cousin behaving like jerk. Shame. I decided to leave him with another spy and exit the shop. Before I did, I saw S., whom I first met in the mental hospital. But I didn't want to talk. #2 - Magic Tree. I was on meadow. There was very big tree with holes in it. Next to me was some girl. I don't remember much, only the fact she had glasses and ponytail. She came into the tree and started going upwards. It turned out that it's REALLY big inside. She could climb and climb and there was no end. I looked at the plate which was near the tree. It had words on it. "Once you choose downward, there's no come back". Somehow I knew that under the roots is only evil and up is good. People were supposed to choose the side. And when they wanted to do it they were receiving pieces of papers with letters from A to E. And again, they needed to choose letter. Each letter had different description. Description of character. People were deciding which one was just like them. If they choose wrong letter, they will get stuck in the tree forever. I got my pieces. I didn't really know what should I do. Then I saw S. He was around 10 years old (like me) and had his pieces too. He went into the tree. In that moment, I was seeing through his eyes. There were two girls - one from the beginning and one stranger. They were kinda... hibernated? Alive, but hibernated. He took pieces and lay their letters on their shoulders. Then I saw light. It was nice, warm light around them. I'm not sure what happened to them, but S. came out of the tree. And I still didn't know what to choose. So he started helping me. There were at least two letters good for me. But if tree would think different... I wanted to choose wisely. ...And I woke up. *facepalm* I find this dream very amazing and magical. Tree reminds me of those from the myths. Also, the dream is alike one about W.I.T.C.H. Choosing character, some guy helping me... Quite interesting. #3 - Spider-Man and Hospital. I was in the hospital with possibility to learn. It looked strange - like school mixed with hospital. But it wasn't bothering me. I went to the kitchen and wanted to make myself kissel. I couldn't find it for a while. Then I looked into the drawer and found it. In that moment some girl came to the kitchen and took kissel. At first I was confused and angry, but then I saw another kissel. So I made it and left. When I came out, there was... Spider-man sitting on a chair. I wasn't shocked. I said 'hi' to him. After that he got electro-shocked. I thought it's impossible, because there was no sources of current. And I saw two little things sticked to his chair. I took them, showed him and said there is usually just one thing like that (?). He took a look and got electro-shocked again, when he touched it. Then I saw man who was doing it. I said "it's him!". ...and don't remember the rest.
There were a few dreams about homosexuality and Mitt Romney, and there was also a time where I had to take shelter in this orphanage type place to get away from a huge storm that had the potential to kill us all even inside the orphanage (there were even meteors falling) and at one point I think I was a tulpa and I was flying around by flapping my arms up and down
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening It's been the 3rd time in the past couple of weeks that I wake up obsessed with this word: tesseract. And it rang a bell but I just couldn't remember what this word meant, so only the third morning of waking up with this word hanging in my mind I decided to google it. The tesseract is an hypercube. I'm sure I had come across this word and this object before, but I was actually in doubt that such word even existed. This only proves that the unconscious mind knows a lot more than my conscious mind can recall. Is there any connection between dreams and tesseracts? Probably a reminder that dreams are existences in other dimensions, beyond the four that we experience through our senses. Therefore, they are like the extension of the cube to an hypercube. Anyway, back to the dreams... (...) There's a huge storm forming, enormous dark clouds and even a tornado in the distance. I am at the door of what looks like a huge barn and I start calling everybody inside. There are endless doors and windows and I start closing them carefully one by one. I go up in the attic or mezzanine and I see some of my childhood toys forgotten there. I feel nostalgia and I decide to bring it down with me. That's when I see some menacing dark figures outside. I realize it's not just the storm we have to worry about. When the storm calms down, still very early morning, I go outside with a kid to see the damages. I tell the kid to stay close to me but he disappears. Then I see these huge black dogs with birds' heads. They've taken the kid away. Some lady who was hiding in the bushes tells me they are mythical animals from the Mexican folklore, who take children alive and no one knows for what. (...) Then I think I am on a boat to some island to save the boy. (...) Then I am at what seems to be the EU quarter in Brussels. Me and a friend, decide to crash and disrupt an important meeting. Like the "Yes Men", we enter a meeting pretending to be some of the delegates and we sit on the table, just by the side of Christine Lagarde from IMF. My colleague opens her briefcase and instead of papers, it contains lots and lots of ties, with different patterns and colours. They start looking at us. We say the problem that they are so square is that they all dress in black and white and for the good of mankind they must wear colourful ties. Then we start walking between the chairs of the delegates trying different ties on them, suggesting colours and so on. At first no one reacts, then Lagarde shouts at us. We say to her that instead of spending thousands of euros on Louis Vouitton bags, she should also wear a colourful tie, as she clearly is more a man than a lady. That's when we're kicked out. Then I don't remember well, but I find out this kind of EU-city is a fortress on top of a mountain, almost like Mount Olympus. And I want to continue doing a lot of crap to sabotage it but I'm under surveillance, so I decide to fly outside the fortress' walls. My friend warns me of the monsters that guard its boundaries, but I go anyway, because it is the perfect shortcut to avoid guards and enter the buildings through a window. Then I am flying around this fortress and then I don't remember.

Took four 500 mg valerian root capsules last night. Had some incredibly detailed and vivid dreams. Tonight I'll be trying out 1000 mg. Waited too long to journal so much of it was lost but here's what I got. Kenny wants to know if I have any money. He offers to give me some. I am humbled and I try to refuse, but he insists. I am debating which clothes to wear. I feel as if I traveled to various places on my dream map tonight; The school The theater The forest The park. There is a male here who is interested in me. I think it's attraction he's feeling. Tyson is there when I wake up (in dream). He says he's been talking shit about me, but he won't tell me what. My dad is here now. He has offerings of weed. Handed to me in the scarab box. I am humbled. I am very happy. I am in the school. A section that I am familiar with. The intersectional space where the hallway meets with the large gym and cafeteria. I think that I'm preparing for a journey/trip. I remember thinking about how I'll be able to buy food with the money Ken gave me.
Had a ton of dreams last night. 1. I was driving out on this country road looking to see if there were any pheasants in the area we always hunt. (Opening day of pheasant season is this weekend). Anyways, i then came across this strange bend in the road, and there was this huge mining oporation, where they were mining for aspirin. SUddenly the road turned into a hole and the car fell in and I just barely made it out. I can then remember just kinda sitting there for a while and eventualy it dawned on me that maybe I should ask for some help. I called out and then some random girl started walking over to help me out. Then this other dude came over and gave me a hand. As he pulled me up though, he suddenly pretended to stab me. I asked what the "HELL" he was doing, and he said it was for a movie, and I should just go with the flow. Anyways, we then redid the scene and as he pulled me out, I apparently was supposed to stab the girl, which in turn made him stab me. Apparently my acting was a sucess and the dream ended. 2. It was snowing very heavily outside and I was with a bunch of friends. We were filming this cartoon or something, and then we went to this random arcade set up out in the middle of nowher, that appeared to be some backwoods cabin. Anyways, we went to this arcade and started up all the machines. I remember there was this one Sonic pinball one though, that I had rigged beforehand, and when we turned all the machines on, it glitched out and I won by an enormous score. After that I departed to my grandma's house which was conviently located right next to the arcade. I can then remember watching some old cartoon ( I believe it was Sonic X) that I used to watch when I was just a lil' tyke. 3. I was at our shop with my motorcycle and some other random dude. We were debating what would be the best way to fit all this stuff we needed to park in there. I remember jumping in a UTV to park it inside, and then somehow the ground magically shifted so I was parking in the correct spot. Once we had parked everything we went over to look at this jet ski. The wierd thing is that I can vividly remember some numbers entering my mind. The jet ski's odometer was at 193 for the current trip, and the craft was of 250cc displacement. Then, I remember resetting the trip meter, and watching the dial spin past all the numbers until finally resting on zero. ( I wonder if this was related to the shared dream at all?) 4. I had this giant propane tank that I was trying to detonate underwater to see if it would kill this whale I believe. I was underwater to see this thing go off (smart right?). Anyways, it detonated without a problem, but it didnt kill the whale. I then remember that I needed to come up for air or else i was gonna drown. however, there was this big iceberg blocking my path and I paniced. I couldn't hold my breath any longer and inhaled... except... I could breathe!!! Right then I was like... wtf? I must be dreaming! However, I then realized I actually had a diving mask of some type on allowing me to breathe, so then al my chances of lucidity were gone. I then remember randomly coming up to the surface and seeing the whale repeatedly jump up, land on the iceberg, then slide back down into the water. 5. I was at the store looking for a bag to put my friend's birthday present in. He is a fellow Sonic fan so, conviently, all the bags matched accordingly. 6. Playing Unleashed... Cool Edge Night Stage... Punched a snowman... S RANK! (i have no idea how that happened. hehe)
I dreamed I was in Canada.
11-07-2012 -- I am walking up Crescent, just before Dale, on the side of the street where the church is located. Oddly, as I walk along, I am pulling the metal core from a wire that is still strung up on the poles [like Don DuFour used to do] and it seems to have gotten caught or tangled on a transformer or something. I'm kind of shaking it to get it to come loose while trying not to electrocute myself. For some reason, Petey the Clown is walking with me, and is accusing me of being selfish or a bad friend or something. I am just about to cross the street and start walking down Hickory, when some guy from the last house on the block comes out and also starts berating me. He is angry because I am removing the core of this wire, and is afraid somebody will lose power because of it or something. Oddly, he looks like the strongman character from La Nouba [Cirque du Soleil show at Disney World, I just saw a video of it for the first time two days ago.] As I approach my house, he seems to be kind of stripping my bones out of my fingers as punishment. It doesn't hurt as he does it, oddly enough, but a few seconds later it starts to sting really badly. Then when I reach my house, he starts to remove the screen from the windows on my car, and I am really starting to get ticked off. I start cursing him rather severely, and tell him to stop hurting me and my car, and the generic neighborhood kids are very impressed because he is an adult and I am a little kid like them. I head toward the front door, planning to enter the house, and just suddenly find myself back on Crescent, across Magnolia from Peter Marshall, walking toward the school. Just as I step into the street I am kind of attacked by a large crate with eye holes that I know contains the strong man character, and has my name on it. He gets loaded on a truck or something, however, and is gone for a bit. I am also being attacked by a very La Nouba-looking clown who has no hair and a solid orange face. The only way I can stop this clown is to wrap my arms around her and pin her arms to her side, and as I grapple with her I realize it is Petey in different make-up, and she thinks I don't know her well enough to recognize her, but I do. She is still pinned in my arms and I carry her into the office at Peter Marshall and then set her down. The other office workers start celebrating her birthday, and I walk off, leaving her thinking I may not be as bad a friend as she thought. [Petey's real life persona does work in a school, but not a grade school, and not in California.] I start to head home again. Maybe I'll make it there this time. I am walking through a crowd of several girls who seem to be talking about Halloween costumes and/or playing Bloody Mary. Between the school and La Reina (a very short block) there are five gas stations that I can remember mystery shopping at other times, though today I am not doing any shops. By this time the strongman character has gotten free of his crate and is bugging me again as I walk down the street. As I turn on to Hickory Drive, I'm muttering about killing the strongman character, and I suddenly find myself running into a bunch of older politicians (Reagan, Nixon, perhaps Margaret Thatcher), and they reveal the rasping strongman is actually some sort of spy or agent, and I am expected to ignore all of his harassment because of his diplomatic mission to the Middle East. I'm thinking his mission is no excuse for his being an idiot. I actually manage to enter the house this time, and I find myself sorting through a lot of mail in my name. Mom is there and is being a bit of a pest, but I am trying to ignore her. I enter my second bedroom through the kitchen door, and I find the room is huge. In real life it was probably about ten feet by fifteen, but here is is more like 20 x 30. I find that mom has gone against my wishes and has rearranged my room, forming a sort of wall of bookcases surrounding my bed in the upper right corner of the room, leaving the other 3/4 of the room mostly empty. [Actually I never had a problem with my mom rearranging my room against my wishes, but it is something my current landlord is kind of threatening to do.] I am so angry about the rearrangement, I am about to tell mom off and move out, except I am out of work, broke, and worry I won't be able to find anywhere else to go. Then I wake up. Also a brief fragment somewhere in the night where I am trying to get some sort of computer layout job and am talking about being asked to do photo essays on the Hornet newspaper overnight to fill in pages that others didn't bother doing, back in my college days.
