non-lucid

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! I think I just had the best dream ever to get my motivation going again. A few months back when I was at the peak of my LD'ing rate I had a very freaky dream in which I met this mysterious man. I met him last night again and I've decided to confront him face to face. I need to train myself in dream control first though and I've decided to let nito89 help me out. Here's a piece of another old LD I had in which I met a strange DC and the dream I had last night. The cool part is that he looks just like the guy from "Dragonage 2."

The next vehicle comes up, this time I'm stopping it before it reaches me. I hold up my hand and the horse cart (?) stops just infront of me with a screech. An old man is sitting on the horseless cart. He's got a black hat pulled down, covering his face. He smiles at me in a mysterious way. I lift the cart up and position it away from the road and push it away with my mind.

Possible first encounter?

07.10: Monica? DEILD - OLD
I'm waking up from my previous dream when I decide to give DEILD a go. I quickly enter SP as I can feel my arms twitching like I'm having a seizure. My hands squirm around and I'm sure if someone saw me in bed, they'd see me flailing around. I try to relax as much as possible. I can hear heavy gusts of wind blow in my ear. 'Perfect, getting closer.'

I hear the door open and close. 'Oh crap no! Monica's home already, I hope she does what I told her and don't disturb me.' I lie still and try different ways of making this SP into a dream already. I try visualizing but it doesn't work. Apparently Monica's going to cook something and she rattles with the silverware. It sounds like they're just next to my ear. I lie still and just wait.

"Hey babe!" she says and sits down on my stomach. I moan and hope it'll pass through to my real body. By this time I figure I can still hear what's going on in real life. "What was that?" she asks me and starts to crunch down on some salad. I can see a tiny bit of her through a slit in my eye. Once again I figure I'm still in SP but can sense the real world. "Let me sleep" I mumble.

'Phew, didn't wake up.' "What? You don't want me to do this?" she asks me and starts rocking the bed. I can feel my body starting to slide down towards the floor. "Weee!" she says and I land on the floor with a "thump." I still haven't woken up and I figure it's time to break loose.

I force open my eyes and I'm in the dream! In my room, exactly where I thought I was. I get up and grab a pair of pants from the sofa and a shirt from the table and put them on. 'Time for some exploring.' I head towards the door but when I reach it, I hesitate. I remember reading that some people have reported seeing their own bodies sleeping in bed, I've never seen that. I head back into the living room. Monica stands up with her salad. I look behind her on the floor and can see my body lying halfway under the bed. It's covered in papers and some salad. 'Awesome!'

"Hey, where are you going?" Monica asks me. "I'm going out exploring" I tell her, my voice is strained and a bit louder than a whisper. "But you have to look at these papers first" she says and tells me to sit down. "Wait, can you still hear me?" I ask her. "Uhm, yeah?" 'Hmm, she can probably still hear my real body mumbling the words I speak in the dream' "That's weird" I say and sit down. I take a look at the papers, it's full of hieroglyphs.

"Okay so this is not a dream?" I ask. "Nope, not a dream" she says. "Here, I'll prove it to you." I say and grab a paper. "Write me ten symbols and I'll guess which one you point at." She thinks I'm stupid and asks me how I could do that. "When I wake up silly, I'll tell you which one you pointed at." At this point a little dream logic enters the dream. By reading about Out of Body Experiences, you can pick a card from a deck and then name that card when you wake up, and it'll be the same card.

"But you're already awake!" she tells me, clearly annoyed. "Oh yeah? Then explain to me who that is?" I ask and point at my body lying on the floor. I can see that the question really disturbed her, like a computer that can't come up with an answer. I can practicly see the "Error" signs in her eyes. She turns her head halfway with a sly smile.

A wind from nowhere makes all the papers she's holding fly around in the room and obscures my vision of her for a second. She holds up one remaining paper over her face when it all settles down. The last paper goes away and I realise the person I have been talking to, isn't Monica, it's a dark haired man with white skin and a short trimmed beard.



I freak out. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!" I yell and grab his throat as hard as I can. We both fall down to the floor.

Ever since I had this dream I've wanted to discover what he wanted. I didn't exactly get good vibes from him, and last night I had a semi-lucid with some dream control and he was in it.

10.30: Sleep

05.30: Challenge
I'm walking down a corridor looking for some people. The walls and floors are made out of shiny wood. A room appears to my right and I look into it. There are two people there, a pale, dark haired man and his light haired disciple.



They're the ones I've been looking for. I thrust out my hands and jump back. I run down the corridor and enter my own room. "They're coming" I tell a few people in it. The two guys chasing me runs past and I thrust out my hands once again to block out their attack with telekinesis.

The dream skips. I'm now outside of the building and only the light haired guy is there. "You need to practice your control more" he tells me. "Oh yeah, can you do this then?" I ask and put my hand on his head, probing it with healing powers. I get a mental imagine of a shining ball of light, with loads of darkness surrounding it, hiding from me. "You're evil to the core" I tell him and remove my hand. He brings out a book. It's some kind of lucid instruction book. I flip a few pages and end up at a page with a few tiny trolls on it. "That's easy" I say and summon three of them infront of me. I can't manage to summon their queen though. "You know what you need to do then? You just pay one of them some money to become one" he tells me. I guess he's referring to passive control.

05.30: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 7 hours

Supplements: 100 mg L-Theanine

That's it! I know it wasn't much and that they didn't try to kill me but I know they're up to no good. I'm confronting them, and nito is going to help me out. Hereby begins my training.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Last night was a bunch of random mess dreams because I took Nyquil before bed (my cold goes from being tolerable, to better, to bad... I can't wait for it to actually go away and stop faking me out!) The nyquill knocked me out so hard that I fell asleep trying to get my daughter to sleep, before I even put her in her bed. But, I managed to have my first ever lucid where I stayed int he dream long enough to control it and everything It was AWESOME!

Dream One: The earliest point of this dream I can remember I am at my great aunts house. She has a couple of shirts with butterflies on them and a matching pair of plaid shorts. She's giving them to me because she thought I'd like them. I really do love them and wonder how she had such good taste as older people usually don't pick out stuff younger people like very well. I get in my grandma's truck and we are on our way home. We pass a house that has some sort of plastic fence like structure and Grandma asks me about it. I explain it's to keep the kids in the yard without having to worry about small critters and nosy neighbors bothering them. I briefly think I'd love to have something like that so I could keep the neighborhood kids out of our yard and keep my kids from seeing them and wanting to play with them. Then Grandma starts talking about her old house, the one I grew up in that she had to sell back in 2007. She starts saying that it was the house my grandfather built (I know he designed it, and it was their dream home, but she was only able to buy it after he died and she used his life insurance to buy it) and she was saying that if the people who bought it ever wanted to demolish it she wouldn't stand for it. She says this several times before I wake up. It's dark when I wake up and I am so sleepy I fall immediately back to sleep without noticing my daughter is still in the bed with me.

Dream Two: In this dream I am a teacher at a school for special needs children. I am trying to get a little girl to sleep (the little girl is a special needs child I grew up with at my school. She tried to hug me once, and ended up knocking me down and breaking my arm. I was always a bit nervous around her after that, sort of scared I'd get hurt again. In the dream though I'm much bigger and she's still small so I'm not afraid of her) Me and another teacher are trying to get her to sleep, but she keeps wiggling and moving. The other teacher tells me that she's already given the girl two milligrams of Mirror Mist (whatever that is? At least my dream made up a pretty name, lol) and that if she doesn't go to sleep soon we'll have to give her something else. Then I wake up and realize that my daughter is asleep in my bed and the wiggling and kicking I felt was my daughter wiggling and kicking me because she didn't have enough room to sprawl out wedged between my husband and me. I put her in her bed, so throws her arms and legs out taking up the whole bed, and doesn't make anymore noise the rest of the night

Dream Three: I'm in a cab with a guy, I think to myself he reminds me of the architect guy in how I met your mother, and it's been a few years since I've seen that show. I don't know who he is, but he acts like my friend so I play along. We get out of the cab and we're at a bar. When we walk in everyone looks right at us. The place is dark and there are multicolored lights flying all over the place like a dance club or something. I notice the music playing is Sailor Moon! And I'm wearing a sailor moon back pack! Awesome, no wonder everyone is staring at me. I'm either the coolest person in this place, or the lamest. We make our way to a seat in the back of the club, and there's a little girl with pink hair there. I say hey to her like I know her, and she starts saying she wants to wear a costume too, and points to a stage. Suddenly the bar is actually an amphitheater, and it's located at the lake in front of my dad's family's cabin. I tell the little girl to shhh, that we are wearing costumes, normal people costumes. I tell her this is a disguise so people won't know she's really a sailor scout! She seems happy with this response, and I realize she's Rini, Sailor Mini Moon! (Sorry peeps, I grew up on the dubs, never saw the subs!) Then the little girl starts to go bug a girl a few chairs over. She wants a drink, and the girl is saying she'll get it, but Rini wants to get it herself. The girl gets mad and tells Rini she's impossible, then I call to Rini and tell her she should ask me for a drink and wink to her hoping she'll get the idea that I will let her do it herself. She comes back over, but before I get her a drink Sailor moon calls from the stage that there is a demon at this concert! Then she calls to Rini asking her if she wants to exercise it. Rini says no, she is thirsty and needs a drink, but sailor moon isn't paying attention because she just goes on saying, "You don't want to do it because you are the demon! I'm going to sing a beautiful song to exercise you!" and then she sings a song. I remember thinking in the dream that the song was so pretty, and I grab hands with the guys sitting beside me. The guy on my left is my husband and he squeezes my hand, and i in response squeeze the hand in my left. I turn to see who it is, and its someone I don't know, but he reminds me of this Cherokee guy I had a crush on in high school. He smiles weakly at me, and I feel sad for him. I turn to look behind us because I see some flashes of color. There are several native american looking guys dressed in nothing but body paint walking behind us into a large gate. I get the feeling that behind the gate is some sort of promised land, or some place special to these people. The guy follows my gaze and looks at the gate longingly. I squeeze his hand and bring my face to his ear and whisper to him "you'll get there some day, I know you will!" A tear falls from his eyes and he says thank you, he hopes so. Then the song is over, and my husband isn't happy my face is so close to another man. I try to play it off, and the whole crowd starts lineing up. Suddenly I'm part of a class, and my husband and the other guy who was holding my hand are fighting. The teacher yells at them, "All right, the two of you are going to jail! This is the last time your going to fight like this!" Then I wake up again.

Dream Four (LUCID!): I'm in the car with my husband. I think we're going to a store. Instead, we end up at a house with an old man. We get out of the car, and my husband is carrying a box, telling me he has to drop this off. The old man lets us inside, and my husband gives him the box. The old man opens the box, and inside it are my kids favorite DVDs. My husband is saying these are movies we don't want anymore and that he hopes the old man's grand kids will enjoy them. I get mad and tell my husband those are the kids favorite DVDs, how dare he give them away without consulting me first, because I would never have allowed it in the first place! Then I storm out of the room and outside. Somehow, as I'm storming off into the woods, I realize wait, am I dreaming? I stop in the middle of the road, and think to myself, this has to be a dream. I don't remember how we got in the car, the kids aren't with us, this must be a dream! I decide to test it out and run through the woods. When I run the woods fly by me like a tunnel or like the flying stars screen saver from the computer I had as a kid. It's awesome. I stop, and decide this is a dream, so I'm going to look for K. Then I think to myself, before I do, I'm going to go back to that house, see what I look like, and try to dress nice and tell my husband off while I'm at it! I run back through the woods again, getting that tunnel vision woods again. I notice the trees look black, and the background looks brown, similar to a note book I have. It's really cool. I stop and I'm in front of the house again. There's a tricycle in the yard against the house. Thinking I'm going to test this dream thing one more time to be sure, I push the trike against the wall thinking to myself, "It's going to go right through the wall as long as I believe it will." And it does! It gives me a bit of resistance when there's only an inch or two of the seat left to pass through the wall, but i give it a good push and it completely disappears into the wall. SO FREAKING AWESOME! Then I remember I'm mad. I storm inside and find my husband sitting in a recliner chair, and I walk right up to him and tell him, "Your just a dream. I don't have to put up with your crap right now! I'm not even going to bother fussing at you for giving away those dvds because you're not worth it. Instead, I'm going to dress up and go find someone who makes me happy in my dreams!" I then try to concentrate on changing my clothes. I can't seem to do it. It feels like my bandana is different, but I can't change my shirt and pants. I look in a mirror. I'm wearing a blue checkered print shirt that has puffy sleeves and the front is all sewn with elastic (i think the term is smocked?) so it's clingy but stretchy. The shirt doesn't cover my stretch marks and that bugs me, I try again to put on my favorite black dress that also has smocking but as it's a dress it doesn't show any belly! No luck, so I'm just like, fuck it, it's a dream, no biggie if I look weird. I'm sure I've worn even weirder in my dreams. I walk over to the telephone, it's one of the old kin that you set the receiver in little hooks above the rounded square phone. Luckily the numbers are buttons not rotary! I pick it up. I want to call K, so I wonder how I can. I decide I'll just press the numbers that correspond with the letters in his name. Oddly enough, it's actually the right number of digits in real life. The phone rings, and then I hear him say, "Hello?" I say, "Hey it's me!" he sounds confused for a minute, "Who? Wait, M...? B is that you?!" (note here, my real name starts with an M, but I go by a shortened version of my middle name, which is why dream peeps always refer to me as B ) I excitedly reply, "Yes! I'm lucid! I'm actually lucid dreaming right now! Can I come visit you?" his voice on the other line says, "Sure! I'd love to see you!" I'm thrilled. Then I realize, I'm not exactly sure how to get there, so I ask the telephone, "Hey wait, can you like come and get me or something? I don't know how to get there!" There's silence. The phone is dead. I start to think he probably doesn't have a car and can't come get me. The I realize this is a dream, why would he need a car? I hang up the phone, and then decide to walk outside and try to figure something out. I start to walk, and remember that supposedly you can make someone or something appear in a dream if you expect it to be around the next corner or something. So I decide to try and give it a shot. The trees become a wall, but then I realize that all the trees are walls, so I am suddenly in an endless hallway. Crap, how can I reach a corner if the hallway is endless?! Then I remember the trike, and think, "what if I walk through the wall expecting his house to be on the other side?" It's worth a shot, so I start to put my hand through the hall first, not wanting to faceplant in it. It's like the mirror scene in the matrix at first, the wall wobbles in round circles like thick gooey water. It looks weird because the walls are yellow and brown pin stripped wall paper, really ugly, lol. Then I step right through it and I'm standing in a kitchen. It's got linoleum floors made to look like tile, but obviously fake. Theres a stove and fridge and sink on the wall I just walked through, then in the middle of the room is a table with three chairs facing a tv on the far right wall. I see a guy sitting at the table. My first thought is it's no K. I just don't get that feeling that it's him. Something seems off. But I notice my hands are filthy, they've got wall paper goop on them still even thought it's not anywhere on the rest of me. The guy says hey, and i say hey back. I walk to the Sink and see no hand soap, but there is some green dish detergent so I decide to use that to wash my hands. I notice then that his hair is much, MUCH shorter than it should be. I ask him as I wash my hands, "why's your hair so short?" He responds without looking at me, just staring at the TV, "it's easier for spying." My dream self knows this make sense, if your a spy you want to be as unmemorable as possible. I don't recall him being a spy though. I dry my hands and go to look at him once more. I notice his hair has turned bright pink! My jaw drops for a second, then I remind myself this is a dream, and something's definitely not right here. I walk over to the chair he's sitting in and I as K if he knows this is a dream. He says yes. I ask him if he is lucid. He says no. He doesn't even look at me, just stares at the TV. I'm really frustrated because I think I walked through that wall expecting to find K, so he should be K, but he isn't. He doesn't feel like him, he doesn't look like him, he doesn't act like him. WHat did I do wrong? Then I think maybe it is K, but because it's a dream I've got to get through to him to wake him up or something. I decide to straddle him in the chair, that'll get his attention. No luck. I grab his face with my hands and pull it up to look at me and not the TV. He has a blank look like he's looking right through me. The chair suddenly has rollers and he rolls the chair towards the tv. Frustrated, I lean backwards so my head is upside down and I can see what he's looking at. It's the stupid TV! I close my eyes tightly because I'm getting so frustrated. I wanted to get lucid so I could get some answers from K, but I'm getting no where even though I'm supposed to be in control. Suddenly I lose everything. I 'm no longer in the chair, I'm just seeing black and swirling colors. I realize I'm awake just seeing swirling colors of my eyes closed. Damn. But wow! That was an amazing experience. I can not wait for my next lucid! I'm going to try not to waste it looking for K and answers, but instead see what other cool things I can do. I feel so bold and empowered in the dream, like it didn't matter what I said so I could tell anyone exactly how I felt and do whatever I wanted. And, I was totally blown away by how real it all felt. I really felt like I was awake, even though I knew I was dreaming, everything was so real. Enough random squeals of how awesome this was, I'm sure most peeps on this sight are past that sense of wonderment. Last time I'll say it, this was awesome

My recall's starting to get pretty poor, I think I need to start reading up on some ways to increase it, and also some lucid stabilization guides. I had two lucids, but it seems like every time I have one that lasts more than a few seconds it's spent fighting the dream to keep it alive, and often failing, and I don't get to focus on anything like finding Linkzelda41 or exploring powers. :T Hmm.... (Though, I guess I did get to briefly attempt one thing that would be useful for that this time, but it didn't really work.)

#1 - Fight To Survive [MILD]

I'm in high school with O and D, a history class I think, and our teacher is giving us a lesson along with some humongous white snake with no eyes that still somehow stares into your soul. Some guy in class was browsing the internet (on his laptop I guess, kind of hard to remember) instead of paying attention, so the snake caused him to become a cartoon and switch bodies with a female anthropomorphic bunny. o_o After class we're getting ready to leave as if class was totally normal, and I became lucid after talking to them about the snake. O walks through a door with some girl on the way out (like literally, they phased right through it) and I follow him (phasing through the door as well, the first lucid power I actually had to work to get good at, and can now do flawlessly ) to try to get him to come back but he still walks off. I decide to open the door to change where it leads to, and it kind of works but not really, it just leads me to a different school hallway. The dream starts to fade so I start rubbing my hands together and feeling the walls and looking all over the place for new input but it's not really working, so I jump forward and start licking the wall as well, three senses stimulated! It doesn't taste as bad as I would have imagined, just sort of neutral. I start walking down the wall (never removing my hands or tongue from it) trying to find something to do, and the dream clearly doesn't want to last. My limbs are slowly failing as if I'd been fatally poisoned or something. Finally I see one of those little bins they had at stores with different ice cream cones and bars in them, and I run over there and just grab a regular vanilla ice cream cone. I started eating it and it actually tasted pretty good, but then I woke up. I guess it wasn't a total waste.

#2 - False False Awakening? [MILD]

I was talking to K about some politics related to lucid dreaming (mostly gibberish I think, but something about how some politician was claiming that lucid dreaming was equivalent to passing through the gates of hell ), and then I get a... well, it's odd because I can't remember far enough back in the dream to know if this was actually true or not, and I want to say it's not, but suddenly I had a feeling of clarity and said "Oh, this is a false awakening." and that made me lucid. I just looked at K and said "You're not even going to remember this conversation." And he smiled at me, then I woke up. On to the couch in my den, which seemed perfectly normal. I thought the conversation we were having was funny so I wrote it down to tell K about it later, but once I finished I actually woke up in bed, and I don't really remember much about the conversation now.

Cash Register & Emily, Itchy Head , Blonde & Random guy, Weird Class Lecture, Bathroom Mystery, iTouch/iPhone vs Zune talk (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Cash Register & Emily

This is a middle school type of setting in this dream. I was basically getting something to eat from the food court, and there are several lines to wait from. I see various DCs all over the place.

I see a line that is fairly short, and I see some really huge adult cashier taking care of this almost empty line. I go up to her, wait for her to put in the amount of the food I had, and I look down to see what I have in my hand is a small white box.



I thought the meal was going to cost me like $2.75 or something, but the total ends up being above $5 dollars. At first I'm surprised, and I even asked the lady to confirm that price again.

She ends up increasing the fucking price, and I get REALLY mad at this incompetence. I sense a DC to the left of me, but I'm not paying attention to her just yet.

The cashier apparently thinks that I'm paying for rent? And I have to repeat a few words to get it into this incompetent's head that I am paying for food, food, food!

She pauses and then she goes like, "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh." And then she says something else, but I immediately leave the line out of rage to look somewhere else.

I start to pay attention to the female DC next to me, and she's Black, and she's wearing a green top or something, and maybe a skirt, but the dream is too hazy for me to recall completely. She is wearing a white bow tie, and I'm looking for a line to pay for my meal.

I finally pick the line that is all the way to the left (and there's probably just 4 lines in total anyway). I see there's a mini vending machine within this line with a tray area to slide your food while you wait to pay.

I knew who she meant, but I felt she said her name wrong, what she was talking about was most likely a girl in High School I knew by the name of Jasmine.

Jasmine is not Hispanic, she is mixed, just like me, and she was black, but she was light-skinned.

Anyway, after all that stuff she's talking about to me while we're waiting in line, it seems I get ahead of myself in the conversation by saying my name is "Brandon."

I knew she was going to ask my name, but I didn't wait for her to tell me that, then she asks me what my name is, and I repeat to her.

She's a positive entity, much different from the other idiots in this dream.

I get a cup and you had to scoop up ice with the cup instead of just press the metal bar to receive it. The female DC next to me starts talking to me about if I ever met some girl before.

She finally mentions her name before I get the chance to ask her, and she says it's "Emily."

Emily looks an awful like a character from Everybody Hates Christ. She fades away, I end up paying for my meal without incompetence from the cash register, and I find a seat that looks very familiar to me in the middle school I went to in Texas.



I think I might have shaken Emily's hand.

It was Thornton Middle School, no doubt about it, because I see a few familiar faces in waking life such as Felix and Brian.

It seems that it's almost noon at the time, and everyone is leaving, so I get ready to eat my lunch quick. I start opening a packaged cinnamon bun and some other kind of meal.

I wanted to eat the other meal first before eating the Cinnamon Bun because of salt vs. sweets order in my mind, but I end up eating the bun anyway.

I start nomming the bun quickly, chewing quickly, and gulping it down hard as well drinking it because I see I'm limited in time to eat for some odd reason. I just feel like I have to get ready to go to class, but I spend the few minutes I have trying to finish the meal.

The dream fades.

Dream 2: Itchy Head & Padded Keyboards

This is another school related dream, and I find myself scratching my head a lot for some reason, and it looks like I have a rash because I see myself in third person perspective and I am turning around seeing my head zoomed in a little with a few small red rashes.



They look so tempting to scratch in this dream, and it really itches me. I think I'm fiddling around with my Blackberry, and I'm sitting in a random class doing something.

Then the dream shifts to where I'm at a computer lab again, and some keyboards have some padding that apparently is supposed to help with performance when typing.

I decide to go to one of these keyboards, and I take off this padding to feel it, and it feels like a some cheap imitation, and I believe there's a DC to the right looking at what I'm doing, but I'm not bothered by this since I put back the padding anyway.



That's all I remember for that one.

Dream 3: Blonde talking to a random guy

I'm a spectator throughout this dream, and I see two guys skiing at some miniature icy area. It was like one of those ice stadiums or whatever you call it that allowed you to ski at some kind of course.

A blonde wearing a white fluffy jacket (Moncler Gueran Coat to be precise probably ) getting closer to the guy, and she's trying to ask him a question. The guy notices her, and he gets off his skii equipment, and the blonde does as well.



I think the blonde asks the guy in the black jacket ski-wear if he knows her. It takes a while for the guy to recognize her, and he finally tells her that.

But I'm not sure if he did one of those fake gestures that some people do when a person they don't know asks them if they remember them (like how you hug that same person, and look at your friend wondering who the heck they're hugging).

They walk a little bit somewhere, and I'm just moving back seeing everything follow through (still a spectator).

Then I see a flashing image of a Black lady and a Blonde lady walking together with two muscular guys I believe that were most likely bodyguards because the two women had to go next to the wall to prevent the crowd from touching them.

I don't know what it was for, but I just assumed they were celebrities.

Dream 4: Weird Class Lecture

I'm sitting somewhere in class, and the professor is giving really odd references on how a certain point value equals a specific letter grade (A, B , C, D, F).

I'm trying to write down random words of what they are saying to us, and I believe I was writing something like, "6 6 6 6 9 6 6 6" or something like that, and I end up being confused because I didn't start a new line when she said something equaled another letter grade.



I think I see a dude to the right of me who is Black, and he's probably confused as well, but the dream is too hazy for me to bother asking him.

Dream 5: Bathroom Mystery

Not sure if this dream relates to the previous one, but whatever.

I was waiting near some bathroom entrance, most likely at some educational institution, and apparently you had to do some kind of puzzle to get in? I don't know what I did, but I go in, and it's dark inside.

There's some weird things going on the toilet, and apparently, only a few people would be able to see something like that. I come out, and I walk somewhere.

Dream 6: iTouch/iPhone vs. Zune HD talk

I'm sitting down somewhere, and it looks like a lot of DCs are having some social gathering in this building I'm in.

To the right of me are two male DCs, one looks familiar, but I can't remember his facial features.

They were talking about the iPhone or iTouch, and talked about how it is great, and then compared it with the Zune. I forget what they said about the Zune, but I have my Zune HD 32 gb in my hand.

I nudge at the male DC next to me and tell him I have a Zune, but before I showed them the screen, apparently I had some inappropriate content showing, so I immediately hide and show it to them.

I told them since Zune HDs are discontinued, they have rose in price, up to $500+. Then in my mind, I knew that was just for the 64 GB, so I changed the price to around $299+ for the 32 GB.

Then the DC looks at the Zune, and then looks at me, and it seems they want to take it, at least that's what I feel like he was going to do. Then as his hand approaches, weird stuf happens.

I'm shifted to a different scene where the movement of my hands and the other male DC's hands shift the movement of some kind of fire forming around in front of us.

Then I see my mother, and I look at the time, and started to panic because I feel like I needed to be somewhere else other than this place. But she doesn't care, but I still tell her the reason why I am here or some odd reason.

I think I hug her, and then I shift my attention to another male DC sitting near the other two male DCs I sat to and wanted to greet him.

I don't know what I did next.

I feel like there's a dream that I had after this, but I can't recall it because I distracted myself too much doing other things while going back to remember the dreams before it.

It might be related to me finding Alyzarin, but probably not, maybe I'm just thinking too hard on the matter.

I don't really remember that much from the last two nights, but I know there were at least some short dreams. Maybe I've been exerting myself.

All I remember is telling someone, or musing myself, about fabrication technology. This is connected to a cast-iron table and a copy made by more modern methods, that I saw during the day. I'm explaining how adding structure and air pockets inside the designs reduces material costs and make the object more durable.

A few dreams from the weekend:

I was going around with mike and his friend getting free ice-cream from places. When we were done I started walking alone and came to a house. There was a lady on the floor, and she was crying out "help, save my baby." I grabbed her and started flying. I got outside the house and saw the baby, which I picked up also with my other arm.

Then, I realized I could fly (though I didn't become lucid) and dropped off the lady and her baby so that I could fly faster. I was having trouble flying fast, so I tried moving my arms like a bird. That didn't work. I floated to the ground. This time, I sort of pretended I was a rocket, and gathered all my energy together while I was on the ground. I started lifting up and then as I rose o started to go very fast. I stretched out my arms and felt the wind as I soared, it felt amazing. I was heading down the street towards my bus stop. I didn't have anywhere to go in particular, but I was flying, so it didn't matter. The sky was very blue and everything around me was vivid. I only wish this was a lucid.
-----
I think I was on a school trip, to somewhere far away, like Hawaii. I was with a group of guys, and we were practicing a song of some kind. I really didn't want to sing, so I left. Then I was in a classroom, but I think it had Hawaiian flowers and decorations. I was sitting on the edge of a desk alone when someone came up to me. He told me I needed to make new friends. Then he grabbed some guy and brought him over. I just kin of laughed stupidly, and he walked away.*

Then I walked over to a booth like the seats at restaurants, and sat down. At the booth was a girl I recognized from school. She talked to me about a party/luau that happened earlier. She asked if I went, and I told her I wasn't invited.
-----
I was playing pop'n music in an arcade. It was a really old, retro version though.

"Destiny" is a recurring dream scenario.
It is the name of the first faster than light spaceship, on a controversial mission to investigate a signal that can only be of alien origin.
Here's a summary of current events:
Recurring dream about a spaceship mission to find extraterrestrial life. - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

I have had a few more dreams about Destiny, but none of them drove the plot further.
I always find myself in the cockpit starting at instruments, but nothing ever happens.
Tonight something did happen.


We're all strapped tightly into our seats.
It is time.
A female computer voice is counting down to zero.
Once the countdown runs out we will begin the breaking maneuver to get out of ftl.
It will last approximately 20 minutes, which will most likely be rather unpleasant.
The artificial gravity system will compensate most of the g-forces, but if the acceleration maneuver was any indication
then there will be a considerable amount of vibrations.

My assumptions weren't off.
The first few minutes of deceleration weren't too bad, If I had to venture I guess I'd estimate that we are experiencing about 2 g's right now.
However, after more than 10 minutes, this gets tiring and stressful.
The skin on your face feels like it is trying to peel itself off.
And that's the time when the vibrations start.

The hyperdrive is designed to operate at a specific speed, and it turns out that it does so surprisingly well.
However during the acceleration and deceleration phase, when the ship is still at ftl but far below the optimal operation speed,
saying that it is running sloppy would be putting it mildly.
Imagine an old car engine with a rough idle and a piston not firing properly.
Now imagine that engine having enough power to propel 400 tons with ease.

It's not just the vibrations, it's being shaken around what really wears you down.
The noise of the ftl drive is phenomenal though.
It is the sound of raw power; The sound of a thousand lions roaring over the echo of a thunderstorm.

I can barely appreciate the view. My eyes are focused on the main console, expecting a warning light to go off any second.
I miss most of the spectacle right in front of me. Slowing down to the speed of light, the view gradually shifts through the color spectrum, producing all sorts of fractal patterns.
But no alarm goes off. No warning light. Not even a check light.
As we drop below the speed of light, we are shortly blinded by a flash of light.

The vibrations and the g-forces gradually decrease.
We are back in normal space, coming to a stop.
Finally! Those 20 minutes felt like an eternity.

"Initiating hyperdrive cool down phase."
"Hyperdrive will be available in approximately 20 hours."

We'd better hope so.
Without the hyperdrive it would take a few thousand years to get back home.
It is safe to say that without it, we are screwed.

Everyone's pretty nervous. Nobody knew what to expect, but we were all expecting something.
We find ourselves not too far from a blue gas giant.
It doesn't seem to have any moons.
I find this a bit disappointing though I have no idea what I had in mind.
An inhabited planet? That would have been a bit ridiculous I guess.

But then a vague beep catches my attention.
The most important beep I will ever hear in my entire life.
The HUD highlights a location close to the gas station and has it marked as "UNK_00000"
UNK stands for unknown artificial object.
Non-artificial objects are marked with AST for asteroid instead.
UNK can be anything from an unofficial or military satellite to space debris.
But this time it is none of those.

It is in fact an alien space station orbiting the gas giant.
This is the only time where calling something alien is not premature.
Who else could have built an artificial structure orbiting a planet hundreds of light years away from earth?
We plot an interception course and point all of our sensors at the structures.

Catching up with the planet doesn't take very long, but synchronizing the orbit is a more time consuming task.
You can't just point the ship into the general direction of the space station and hit the throttle.
If you go too slow you get caught by the gravity of the planet, if you go too fast your orbit becomes elliptic.

The wait is painful. There are so many questions.
Is there anyone there? If so, how are we going to communicate? How will we make contact? ...

... We sit in front of the station for a prolonged period of time, trying to find out all sorts of things with the on-board scanning devices.
The station has begun to light a path towards what appears to be some sort of hangar bay.
It is clearly inviting us in...

... We have landed inside of the hangar, which surprisingly seems to be pressurized.
There must be some sort of force field in place keeping the air inside.
The air mixture is mostly nitrogen / oxygen... just like on earth.
A single hallway leads out of the hangar.
It is again lit by lights inviting us to step inside...

... I am walking through the corridor in a pressure suit, accompanied by our language and culture specialist.
We're not wearing the suits because the air isn't breathable, we're just afraid that if we do encounter any other living organism in here,
we might be contaminated by potentially dangerous bacteria.
The atmospheric scanners on the ship found the air to be sterile though...

... We enter a big, well lit room.
It is divided into two by a transparent wall...

... We are not alone ...

On the other side of the wall, a humanoid being is waiting.
I become so incredibly nervous that the feeling becomes so intense that I can no longer feel it.
I just walk forward.
Thousands of questions answered within a split second.
Are we alone? Is there other intelligent life?
But those are immediately replaced by an identical amount of new questions.
Why would other intelligent life be humanoid? Why do they look so similar?
The odds for that are so insanely low.
Anyone who knows the basics of evolution would tell you that the likelihood of extraterrestrial life being similar to us is so low it is ridiculous.

Yet here I am, approaching this woman who looks more similar to humans with every step I take.
Eyes, eyebrows, a nose, a mouth, teeth, ears, two hands with 5 fingers each, thumbs.
Her hair is very different, it looks very organic, almost plantlike.
Her skin texture is also slightly different, but the only thing that is really obvious at first glance are her hair and her clothes.

She smiles.
I am so close now.
I look into her eyes, without any plans on what to do.
I just follow my curiosity.

Her eyes... they remind me of something.
They are so vivid. So detailed.
I need to see them more clearly.

I unlock my helmet and take it off.
I don't worry about the consequences, I don't even think of them.
I have to see.

I approach the transparent wall until I am nearly touching it with my face.
I take of my right gauntlet and press my hand against the wall.
She does the same with her left hand.
Our hands would be touching if there was no wall separating us now.

I can now see her eyes clearly.
I know those eyes.
Those eyes so vibrant and colorful that they defy the capabilities of human vision.
Those eyes with an unlimited amount of detail.
The deeper you stare into them, the more details you can see.
It would be so easy to get lost in them.

I have only met three woman with such eyes in my life.
One is Yuya, another is the "hibiscus girl". http://www.dreamviews.org/blogs/hyu/...verload-23438/

The last is a mysterious woman from the future. A "twinner" as MoSh would say... http://www.dreamviews.org/blogs/hyu/...s-women-15610/

Is is her...
Those eyes I wouldn't forget in a million years. They are so unique and the memory of them so powerful.
It is her, in the form of an extraterrestrial being.


This leads me to the obvious and only possible conclusion.
I am dreaming.
This is a dream.

I am not sure whether to be sad or amazed about this.
I feel both, so strong that I cannot distinguish between them.

She whispers something, but her voice cannot penetrate the wall.
My desire to know what she said is so incredibly strong I can only barely bear it.

The wall slides away and she hugs me tightly.
I am so confused, so full of joy, so ultimately sad.
My hands are shaking, I can barely stand. I have no control over my body.
She whispers in my hear with the most gentle voice I have ever heard:

"Soon"

The dream fades away.

I wake up still full of confusing emotions.
I can't decide whether I am overwhelmed by this amazing experience or by the sadness of the feeling that this "story" might have come to an end.
I think "This is why I dream"

Feels good to be back, expect some crazy dreams very soon. Will update with every new dream

Mardi Gras
I am at Mardi Gras, but nothing looks like New Orleans. I am wearing a belly dancing top with sweat pants on bottom. I am not happy with my outfit. I look down and my sweat pants are now genie pants.

I am in an airport where I arrived after leaving Mardi Gras. I pick up a homeless person's cup (I'm not sure why there are homeless people in the airport) and sit down with the cup in front of me. Immediately, people start dropping change in it. Next, New Orleans-type gutter punks start sitting gathering around me and sitting down next to me. One has a guitar, and one has a bottle of liquor that he is passing around.

Fragments

• A road trip with me sister
• A lady with an armful of cotton candy
• Sorting through a food pantry that has cotton candy, textured vegetable protein, and cheetos in it.
• Sorting through clothes at the same airport. There are regular clothes, costumes, masks, and articles of clothing from my last Mardi Gras costume.

I am working a cash register. A man wants to buy "Propel White Wine." I point him to a vending machine, but he only wants to buy it form me. I look to a counter to the left of me and there are now plastic bottles of wine to sell.

Clay Masks and Concerts
Noelle, a group of friends, and I are at a rock concert. Our tickets don't look like tickets, they are a strip of photos from a photo booth. We put the strips of photos into this machine and it spits out a lump of clay. We have to put the clay on our faces to get into the concert. I keep having a hard time putting the clay on. I try going into a bathroom to wet the clay, but there are people taking a shower right inside the door. I go back and talk to my friends, then attempt to find a bathroom again. I see a sign pointing to another women's bathroom. It leads me into a parking lot, then down a strange corridor. I keep seeing picture signs indicating a women's bathroom this way. Eventually, I turn back and go back to the first bathroom. It is all cleared out now and I apply the clay to my face. I return to my friends. They are getting drinks at a bar, but Noelle is gone. During all this, my clothes keep constantly changing. My bestie Kaity rolls up in a wheelchair. "I've been looking for you," I say (even though it was Noelle I was actually looking for). She stands up out of the wheelchair, grabs all the bags hanging from it and starts walking outside.
The scenery outside looks very Burning Man. We all end up sitting in folding chairs arranged in a circle. One girl, instead of a shirt, is wearing only a leather stud collar with a strip of leather running between her breasts. She is talking to a guy sitting next to her and admonishes him for only paying attention to her breasts and not what she is saying.

Flying Fireballs
I am helping a middle-aged Japanese man put on some sort of play or production. It seems to be for some sort of test.Everyone is telling him to do things a certain way, and he does. I advise him that this may be his only chance to truly show everyone his inner world, so he should take no one's advice and do it all his way , regardless of the consequences.
The show is like a cartoon acid trip form Willy Wonka's Factory. There is music, explosions, and lots of strange creatures. There are these cute little guys like flying fireballs with cartoon faces and hands. I am now a water nymph in beautiful, white robes and end up battling the little fireball guys.

Creepy Furry Scence
I am seeing a dream in third person. It is a family's dinner scene. The mom, dad, and dinner guest who is their friend break out Furry Costumes to have sex with each other. One is dressed as a sock monkey. They invite their son to have sex with them. He refuses and storms out.

Glowing Straw
Noelle and I are in a strange downtown. We are with a DC friend of mine, Crowe. We are looking for a place to stay for the night. We walk into a creepy, horror-themed hotel. Someone is playing Nightmare Before Christmas music on the piano. As he is playing, he and the piano swirl and change into Nickelback (ugh) and the scenery changes to a house party.
Now at the house party, I feel I am hiding from someone. Suddenly, a large group of people physically throw me out of the party. Somehow, a large wire gets shoved through the bottom of my foot. I take a deep breath and pull it out. The whole experience is very painful. [When I wake up, I can still feel the pain in my foot.] I am aware of an argument going on inside the house. There is a large anthropomorphic fox and weasel at the party. I think the weasel is who I am hiding from, but the fox is helping me. I run from the party and through a corn field. I end up at a bar where my dad is the bartender. I order a drink and some food. There is someone sitting next to me at the bar. I suddenly have a profound sense of deja vu - that not only have I experienced this before, but I know everything that will happen. I am somehow disconnected and outside of everything, yet destined to repeat the same actions. I focus on the straw in my drink and it starts to glow. I wonder if everyone else can see it. I wonder if I made the straw glow, or if I can just suddenly see the inner light of the universe shinning through to me.

Fragment
A guy and a girl are arguing in a gas station bathroom about a job on the road.

Going to a Costume Pary
Noelle and I are in a house preparing for a costume party. For some reason I leave and end up in another neighborhood looking for something in this girl's van. She gets in the van and starts driving. At some point, my friend John ends up in the van too. They are also going to a costume party and there are lots of costumes in the van, including a Sgt. Pepper costume. We arrive at my and Noelle's house. Both Noelle and John are dressed as Roman soldiers. I am wearing a froofy pink dress.

At Work
I am at a place that looks similar to where I work (Aveda). I am in just my underwear, waiting for Noelle. A car pulls up near a drive-through window and just sits there. I look at the car and it pulls forward. Dayne and Desiree (my coworkers) are in the car and I give them both a glass of water.

I can't wait for Link to read this one.

#1 - Cute Animal Class [Non-Lucid]

I'm back in a middle or high school class, but it's taking place in my room at home. I don't perceive it as my room at the time, though. The class was strange, and generally involved petting cute animals. I spent the first part of a dream petting a black cat that was sooo fluffy, and I remember a white cat walking around in the background, and at some point some dog that was cute but upon waking up I'm pretty sure was horribly mutated, or at least not remotely what a dog should look like. I think she was based on N's dog, too. Class ends, and I remember thinking that winter break was about to start. I reach down and grab a random blue jacket that's sitting on my bed and struggle to put it on for a minute, then I turn to look at the door and notice that Linkzelda41 is there! I said something along the lines of "Merry Christmas" or "happy holidays", and I ask him to wait up for me while I grab my stuff so we can leave the class together, but he heads out. :< I try to grab all my stuff and run after him, but I start to notice that there's a LOT of my stuff in this classroom. (Still haven't realized that it's my room. ) I start panicking and grabbing as much as possible, thinking "I can't just leave all this stuff here, I need it at home!!", and my arms are starting to get really full and I'm not sure how much more I can carry, but then I wake up.

Fragment - "Large class, black midgets with dog heads that turn into trucks, singing, P."

#2 - Our Fate Is Sealed [Non-Lucid]

I'm with a bunch of other people my age in a house (based on D's?) sitting on a couch facing the kitchen counter. Apparently, we perceive it as being stranded or locked in somehow, and we have been for a couple days. We're trying to keep spirits high, and one guy has been smoking weed with the guy who's cooking our meals because he was freaking out, and we all joke that the food is way better now. A girl tries to play a prank on them after they're coming back to the room from smoking a bowl, but isn't fast enough. He makes some small plates of food and hands them out (and I mean really small, but I suppose we're rationing), and I offer some to the girl sitting next to me on the couch but she declines. Finally she says "It's going to happen... we're all going to die." She has some prophetic powers or something and laments that after all this being trapped it's just going to end. She warns everyone that if they want to make the end of their lives worth it they better do it now. She points at me and says she can't say why but I'm the only one who can go home, but it still won't save me. She also claims that some of us may temporarily come back from the dead but not for long. As a result, when I get home she wants me to make a list with all of our names on it, that way it'll add to the mystery when we die, and when she comes back to life she can get the list and sell it for millions. I woke up after she said that, though.

Finally getting back into the swing of things. It took me a bit to pull my recall out of the murk, but it seems it payed off.
I ended up going to a factory with my Aunt, Grandparents, and parents. Apparently my aunt had discovered this mysterious factory and was going to own it for herself (but at the time, I couldn't think of a reason why). The factory was placed right by a large lake, which I spent most of my time at. The lake was drawing me away from the factory. I think it was because of how pretty it was. The water was dark, but out in the distance, the sun was setting, giving off a beautiful pattern of light on the surface of the lake. It filled me with feelings of sadness, longing, and hope. This lake was something special.
I decided to swim in it, and stayed swimming till we had to leave. Once back home, I apparently got the new Kingdom Hearts game (KH3D) in the mail, and started playing it right away. My mother was watching me play, but didn't say anything. When I looked at her, she seemed kind of sleepy.
I decided to go into my room and take a nap. I walked in and plopped down on the bed, passing into sleep almost right away. Before I continue, I should explain; The night before this dream, I set my iPhone's alarm so it would go off at about 8:30 in the morning. The alarm went off, but I didn't wake up. Instead:
All of a sudden, I heard an alarm going off. It was bugging the crap out of me, because it wouldn't stop. I got up out of bed and searched around for it, till eventually finding my iPhone on the floor a ways away, the screen turned on and blasting the alarm. I walked over and tried to turn it off, but it kept making the noise. All of a sudden, a picture appeared on my screen. It was this girl from school who I barely talk to, and apparently she was in my room to give me an interview for some kind of newspaper. I freaked out and turned around.
And that's when I woke up. It was kind of amusing to wake up from that and still hear that alarm going off. I turned over and picked up my iPhone and turned the alarm off. It was pretty amusing to think that my dream self was having all this trouble turning off an alarm that was actually going off in real life. Haha.
Happy to see I could remember this much, because I haven't been into this in a while. Look out for more soon.
Where I was: At a strange factory with a beautiful lake beside it. Afterwards, I was at my house. If I had gone lucid, I probably would've explored the inside of the factory to see what I would find.
What I was doing: Originally going to see the factory with my family, but I ended up swimming in the lake instead. Afterwards, I was playing that KH game, then I tried to go to sleep, but couldn't because of the alarm, which I then tried to find and stop.
Who was there: My parents, grandparents, and aunt during the factory part. Just my mom at my house. Supposedly that girl from school was in my room, but I only saw that in a picture. When I turned around, the dream ended, so I never found out.

Library, Cute Animals and Inside Random House, Blonde Resting on Couch With Me (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I have horrible recall on these dreams. I slept for around 4 hours, did a WBTB for 20 minutes, then tried to relax myself for a WILD, but I guess I went unconscious and forgot to regain awareness from time to time.

Edit:

Me and Alyzarin had a shared dream non-lucidly Her Entry--->

http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/alyz...-sealed-30519/
Dream 1: Library

I was in some kind of library I believe, there were a set of computers where students were working at, and I'm on a computer trying to complete some assignment. There's this dude to the left of me who is being annoying as hell.



I try to tolerate him for a while, like slapping his hand away from me I think when he tries to get near the computer I'm at. Then I just scream at him and the idiot is finally out of might perspective. Then I have some trouble bypassing something on the computer.

Then an Asian teacher comes near me, wondering what I'm doing. I start to panic and tell her that I'm following what the assignment and book is telling me.

I don't know why I'm panicking, because the teacher seems to be accepting almost everything I said to her, so there was no point in me opening some random book to show her that I'm doing something productive, but I do it anyway.

From what I recall from peripheral vision, or just slightly turning my head from this dream, this lady looked almost like my Chemistry 102 teacher. She was wearing glasses, had smooth hair, and was probably wearing a brown jacket that went all the way near her knees or feet.

When I'm done proving to this lady that I'm doing work, which I didn't even need to do, one of the students behind me points to me how to bypass something I'm having trouble with. It think it's going to a certain site that's filtered or blocked.

To do so, we had to type the link and add one something like ":First name, Last name, Year" or something close to that.

I can't much of what I did after that.

Dream 2: Cute Animals and Inside Random House

The environment is weird, I feel like I'm near areas close to my apartment complex, and I'm just talking a walk going somewhere. Then I see this house to the left of me as I'm heading straight down a road somewhere.

I see this really cute black and white cat, and probably two other cute animals as well. I believe one was a brown bunny, and the other I don't know.(because my recall is kind of crap because I'm still trying to remember this after almost convincing myself that I couldn't recall anything).



I focus my attention on the black and white kitty, and it's just sitting on stop of a bush I believe. I start to pet it, and it feels so good petting it. It starts to "Meow" and I could just die from this cuteness!

I start asking it random questions, and it literally responds with "Meow" every time like it's actually talking to me. I could just die from this awesomeness. I probably spend a few minutes petting the cute kitty and listening to it "Meow" all the time.

Then the dream shifts to where I think some teenage girl in a blue jacket with glasses (It's Alyzarin now that I saw her DJ entry), and she is fairly light in skin color asks me to do a favor for her. I reject the favor and try to run away from her, and I think I made the poor girl sad.

I think I was in a random house with some random DC, but I'm not really interested in trying to remember it.

Dream 3: Blonde Resting on Couch With Me

This dream was kind of weird, it starts out with me near this guy sitting on the couch, and I'm giving him money to do some kind of assignment for me (lol wtf?)

I look at him for a while as I'm going to sit down on the other end of the couch. Then I think he disappears.

The room starts to get a little dark, with some lights on somewhere in the kitchen

I'm watching a huge screen TV, probably at the living room in this random house, and there's this blonde in a black nightgown resting on the middle of the couch, and from the perspective I'm looking at, her butt is --> <-- close to my sides.



Her feet were basically on my side, and she's watching the TV as well. Then she starts to raise one of her legs up, which kind of blocks my vision from the TV.

Instead of touching touching her to ask her if she could lower her leg, I just look the other way and do something else. Then I turn to her again, and I see she looks a lot like a girl named "Sierra" that I knew in waking life, but only for a few seconds because of my perspective of seeing her butt in front of me and the bottom edge of her face.

She was basically using one arm to lean on the couch, and I eventually, she lowers her legs. I guess she realizes that I was there and quietly does so she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

Then I think I look in front of me is another screen that's showing images of my sister in a gray jacket, jeans and some type of blouse shirt, and a beret hat. I think she's with her daughter.



That's all I remember.

I had this dream this morning. It starts out with me following a man in a suit. I can see the door to the conference room up ahead. For some reason, everything up to the point where I'm actually in the conference room is in bits and pieces. The place sorta looked like the inside of the Pentagon (for example). But I don't think it was.

The next thing I know, I'm standing before a council of maybe 30 - 40 people and these guys are sitting at a VERY long table, not round, but long as in cigar shaped and in a vertical position. Some of them were wearing suits, some were dressed casually. I looked around the room at all of their faces and i didn't recognize not a one of them. Most of them were middle-aged men and old men. Not sure if there were any women.

One guy stood out to me. This guy was sitting on the right side, closest to me, with his chair kinda pushed back from the table. He was a fat guy dressed in a suit and he was sitting in a comfortable position looking at me.

Anyway, I'm standing there with my arms behind my back--military style--and there's the same guy I followed standing over to my left introducing me. All I heard was "this is Shawn" which is my real name, and then it was as if someone turned down the volume because I couldn't hear anything after that.
