non-lucid

(originally from 10/28/11)Last night I kept waking up (maybe because I was sleeping on the floor).

Driving down a dark road with Brody beside me, us talking about how dumb it would be to see someone walking beside the road, like in some kind of horror movie. We round a corner and see what looks like someone draped in rags walking beside the road.

There were a few dreams in between these two, but I can’t recall them.

I was out at the place that I work, and Brody was there talking to me as I mopped, except that he was my boss. I remember looking around and seeing a lot of circus-themed candy, along with a lot of candy I’ve never seen before.

All of a sudden I hear someone talking about the world’s heaviest rhino. I look over and there’s a smaller rhino and a bigger one, with black hair down its back. The announcer was going on about how he (the rhino) is the smaller one there, but was heavier than all of the rest.

I sort of blink to having a bird’s eye view, and see myself along with a crowd of people that I didn’t notice before surrounding the rhinos. All of a sudden everyone starts screaming and running away.

And then I woke up.

Keep in mind, this whole thing was all still inside of the store, which seemed to have suddenly gotten big enough to hold two rhinos and a crowd of people with plenty of room to spare. I sort of vaguely recall the beginning of this dream, but not enough to describe it. I more recall the feelings than the actual dream.

I was sitting in the passenger’s seat to a jeep, and there was someone I didn’t know driving. We were driving through the jungle extremely fast, pulling someone behind us with a chain and a tire (like an intertube behind a boat). I think we were being chased by something. The driver frantically said “I hope the chain doesn’t break now.”

And then I woke up.

I had a dream about Cody, P, and Elizabeth. It’s weird because I rarely talk to these people.

All 4 of us were at Cody’s house, which had a red carpet with a white rug, and he had a poster of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon on the wall. I remember Elizabeth freaking out about the rug in the room. I vaguely remember us all sitting around and chatting.

Flash forward to P kneeling on the edge of a roof of a building (or was it in a tree limb?) and talking to me.

Flash forward to Brody and I running down this curvy wooden bridge. I mentioned that it felt like I was in a Sonic the Hedgehog game when I ran down it, and Brody saying “That sounds like something I would say.”

All I remember are these bits and pieces, since I had this dream a few days ago.

Dream - Lucid

I was in my room, but it looked much different than my waking life room. There was a small dresser, and the top of it was covered in shrunken head skulls. I had apparently gotten them from an old friend, Cameron.

For some reason, these skulls really started to freak me out. I wanted to get rid of them, or hide them or something.

There were also tons of kittens, and they all looked like my waking life cat, Belle, who is pure white and extremely fluffy. They ranged from being an older kitten, say maybe 6 months or so, to infants, being able to easily fit in the palm of my hand. I had put them all in this big closet to get them away from the skulls. I put some of the smaller ones in boxes with pillows and blankets in them.

After awhile, I started to worry about the kittens. I entered the big closet and opened a small box, revealing 3 newborn kittens laying on some pillows. Their eyes weren't opened yet. They moved around very slowly. I thought one of them was dead, so I picked it up. It moved a bit. Thank goodness. I put the lid back on the box.

My brother and I were then in my room. I asked for his help to get rid of these skulls. We got a huge cloth sack and started to frantically just dump the skulls in. I was explaining to my brother where I had gotten them and what they were.

All of them had these little stoppers on the bottom to stop stuff from falling out of them. One of the stoppers fell out, and more even smaller bones came out of it.

We kept on shoving the shrunken skulls into the sack. I just wanted them out of my room...there was something about them that really fucking scared me.

11/2/11


NON-LUCID

I was outside with my parents. I was in the lead and they were just following me a few steps back. Then there’s this white truck and car driving through the walking area.

(That patch of green on the bottom of the picture is where the bicycle parking was made. I was headed to that direction and the white truck passes by the road below that same patch.




I just let them pass by, and then my father told me to come near him with his finger. I went to him, but I couldn’t remember what he wanted me to do.




The alarm woke me up.

Funny thing about this is that today, when I finished my CHEM 111 Lab experiment in Texas A&M University, I was headed to go to the bicycle parking to go back to my apartment. A White truck was passing by and I was in front of it, but I moved to the side to let it pass.

Got to bed and took my 10 mg melatonin around 11:00 pm this time. It turned out to be a big bunch of nothing until my final dream of the night where I was actually able to remember something.

7:21 am - Non-lucid

I'm waiting for O to come over and watch some American Dad! with me. At some point I think he's at the door but it turns out to be some random shady person walking across my yard. But then O comes up to the door and everything's fine! He comes in and sits down while I start the episode but then go back to my room to grab my new black sweatpants that I'm really excited about having, and for some reason waited until I had company over to change into. I put on a matching black sweater too for some reason, just to complete the outfit I guess, and then go back out to the living room. The American Dad! episode seems to have changed into a Futurama episode, but of course I don't notice that until after waking up. It took place in Antarctica or I guess some ice planet or something, and there was a military group there (that really looked like a bunch of anime characters) that was supposed to be fighting some rebellion. It started out showing a defeated soldier being told to call a mysterious person named N that only the most wealthy and influential people in the world know on a special cell phone, being given to him by this strange person who then walks off. He starts to dial the phone but then some other people pick him up and he drops it and yells "NOOO!" The people who picked him up turned out to be his military buddies wondering how he got away before the commander did or something, and he said it involved unexpected time travel. Suddenly, flaming penguins with spears (blue fire that is) start charging down over a nearby glacier with the intent to swarm the characters. The scene switches again to be the interior from the Planet Express building in Futurama and the penguins swarm over the side of a wall to get to the main characters. At that point an unseen TV character DC yells "They look like the marijuana mattimoag!" ... Meanwhile, I'm only half paying attention to the episode and half enjoying my new sweatpants and sweater which are apparently insanely soft to the point that I can effortlessly slide all around the hard floor. And that was the end of that lol.

~~~~~

That was an odd one.... I considered going back to bed so I could at least log two dreams but figured it was too late in the morning anyway. Oh well, next time!

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was sketching out notes on a piece of notebook paper for some blog entry I was getting ready to write. I had a few odd lines scribbled out, and some scratched out lines. I either wrote down or had already written down the letter "W," and put a circle around it.

Dream #2

I was out on some concrete walkway in front of a building like a college dorm. It was daytime. A girl who I probably looked up to and had a crush on was in front of me, doing some stretching exercises.

The girl had dyed-auburn hair and slightly tan, really smooth skin. She was fit, but not skinny, with full, smooth arms. She wore a pink and blue exercise shirt and grey, tight exercise pants.

The girl went into a low lunge, with her left leg stretched way back behind her and her right knee tucked under her chest. But then she did some weird kind of twisting motion with her torso so that her left (?) arm was stretched out forward and flat on the ground, and her head was twisted so that the right side of her face rested on her left arm.

As the girl was doing this, she was telling me how she was thinking of quitting the pilates lessons she was either giving or taking. She was giving me some reasons for this. It may have had to do with money. She was telling me all this as if I were kind of a little kid.

Dream #3

I was in an apartment. All the lights were off, except in the bathroom. The bathroom light shone into the otherwise dark living room, where I was sitting.

I must have walked into the bathroom. There was a woman in there who was somebody like a fast food worker. I was going to ask her for some kind of help. But an Asian guy butted in front of me and started asking for stuff.

I pushed past the Asian guy, trying to knock him over to let him know I was mad at him just butting in front of me. In the living room there was now a counter, like for a coffee shop. I knew the woman would eventually come back to the counter. So I just sat on the counter, waiting to be helped.

I was then sitting in something like an elementary school desk. There may have been a book and backpack on the desk. I appeared to be studying.

The Asian guy walked up to the desk. He took a look at the book I had on the desk. It was some kind of paperback of an Arthur C. Clarke novel. The cover art was of a dragon, with a red and a blue wizard on either side of the dragon, probably in a forest.

I told the Asian guy that the book was by Arthur C. Clarke, and that the guy could read the book if he wanted. The guy looked a little shocked at my kindness. I told him that he could read any of the books I had. My bookshelf was right in the living room.

But as I said this, the guy just grunted at me like I was an idiot and walked back into the bathroom.

DJ Log: November 2, 2011 – 7:45AM (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

(Fragment 1.) I am sitting in my old bedroom at my parent's house, hanging out with my brother. We're talking about switching bedrooms because he needs the bigger room, and I can take the smaller room because I also have an office downstairs.

(Fragment 2.) I am at my parent's old house, hanging out in front of the garage with a couple of friends and a bunch of relatives. We're sitting at a table, talking and looking at a some kind of electronic equipment. One of my friends gets up and gives me a hug, then starts humping my leg.

(Fragment 3.) I am inside the garage, messing around with a small lawn mower. The mower deck has been removed and the front has been heavily modified. After a bit of struggle with the controls, I start the engine and try to ride it around, but the machine is way too small to ride. I go back in the garage and pick up a bigger seat, but can't figure out how to attach it to the mower.

Notes: The common ground in these is the parent's old house. These may be fragments of a larger dream, but it's all I could recall upon waking.

Planned on seeing Kaomea, but it didn't happen. I want say I was getting a lot of HH and I think I ended up in SP last night at some point in time.

I was at a bar, with a really big group of people. They were passing out a round of shots of Tequila. I was at a table with two girls, and both of them seemed pretty hammered. One was saying she couldn't wait to get me out on the dance floor.

I think I remember being at the parking lot of Wall-mart with J


And....I want to say I was having a conversation with a bunch of DVers....but I'm not sure what it was about, and who was there.

Well....it's WBTB time.

Spectrum office/At home in the living room, watching the computer/TV. The "show" on the computer/TV seems to be a boy who is chatting on a computer, and seems to be showing him from a computer camera on top of the computer screen.

Then I was in a mall. Or a shoe store, with a weird exit/entrance. I was with mom/sis. Someone's about to buy a veeery weird shoe, which is very high, and has red, strawberry-like design.

I was walking in the city. Late afternoon. I met a person who I haven't seen before. He's an old man who's also a Wiccan, and we talked. He walked to his store, and he commented how I look a lot better (healthier). I told him I have minimized my smoking, since I only smoke if I'm in the company of smokers, which isn't very often. I remember animals pass by as we talked about this, from our right to our left, mostly ducks and some dogs.

Upon arriving, we continued talking, and then he set up a food mix. With two live fish, and I think two live shrimp (all are bigger than normal ones) inside a plastic. They're all still moving slightly. The fishes are catfish, I think. The shrimps are brownish. Then there are also a mix of fruits and other stuff. The rest are mixes of fruits. I can recall the colors red (reminded me of strawberry) and orange/yellow (reminded me of pineapple), inside transparent plastic bags filled with white stuff. The whole thing reminded me of a salad.

And cheese. Me mentioned cheese several times, adding it here and there. There's a "glass" where he "insert" inside the plastic and squeeze, "mixing" the whole thing, and then "putting" them back in their particular container.

Seeing that the fishes and shrimps are still moving, and partially tearing the plastic, I asked for a bigger bag to put everything in.

I think all of them are for a recipe, and also has magickal significance. Not sure what. I just accepted it.

When I was about to leave, I asked for his number, and I wanted to make sure that I got it correctly, since it is very difficult to catch him. I recall it started with 0906, and then had 34 and 0, but I couldn't remember it all.

NOTES:
- Afternoon dream
- Raining, cold
- Listening to Brian Mercer & Robert Bruce MAP week 2 morning affirmation
- Woke up aware of what I'm doing and successfully returned to dream several times

I haven't really been writing my journal much, but I've decided to start up again.

This dream has officially stated my dream sign, video games. It seems that most if not all of my dreams have something to do with them, so whenever I play a game, I'll just do a reality check.

Anyways, it is kinda blurry, but it began with me, though it didn't even look like me, in fact, I looked much scruffier and pale, though quite cool. I was at a misty and foggy bay, where they shipped and delivered boxes and such, but then it would suddenly turn to a Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row style scene, in which I had an HP bar and such, but I could fly, leap from buildings, and for some reason, I couldn't stop worrying about what my parents would think. I don't remember much more than that, but hopefully after making this more of a habit, I'll be able to increase my dream recall.

just a DJ entry for my own use
2.11.2011
I went to sleep at cca 1:30am local time, or 0:30am GMT.
I am a male, 30y old, and can usually (in those rare occasions that I recall a dream) recognize myself or link some aspects of the real world in the dream. This one was different.
I felt that it was a woman's dream, and she was more likely a teen than an adult.
What I remember was:
The 1st half - It took place on a small grey stone paved court with the same grey stone layed slabs, some of the slabs were filled with fruit / veggie waste. My job (and of another 5 characters) was to scrape out the waste with a big "ladle". there were some lemon slices / plates on the ground - used as a air refresher(?)
The 2nd half - different place, same dreaming character (?). List of names on an old paper, written with a pencil. it was a list of people to be promoted or rewarded. Me/dreamer cut the bottom-most name off the list with the scissors and edited one other name.

I was in an Asian-style restaurant. There are a lot of people, but I don't know any single one of them. I was trying to figure out something. Then while I was under a table, some people surprised me with a birthday greeting. I forgot my own birthday. I told them I thought I was still asleep.

I looked for the comfort room. Seems there are two kinds of comfort rooms: the more secure one and the free one. The latter has too many people. I recall nude people, but unclear.

I was in a bookstore, searching for books.

I haven't been recording my dreams for a long time, so this one is old and not so vivid.

I was at my grandmother's house and it was night, we were riding on a John Deer Gator around. I'm not sure who we is, I think a female that I was related to. We pulled up to the front gates and got out. My grandpa was coming out to unhook the gate for us. All of a sudden, right in front of us I saw something. I did a double take. A small girl was standing by the fencepost, her pale face was in stark contrast with the night around her. There were dark circles around her eyes that looked as if they were put there deliberately. Her mouth was a straight line with two sharp fangs sticking out. Her hair was black and neat and she had on a gothic dress. A green glow floated in her wake.

Pure terror rent through me. I hurried my grandpa to come. He didn't seem bothered, or maybe he just didn't see it. One of those dream things, you know, when the DCs don't react to anything. I frantically ran to him. Then my family came out of the house, climbing unhurriedly into the car. I jumped in the car, telling them to step on it. I tried to close my door, but a green cloud shrouded my hand and the girl ran alongside the car, holding my door open. I finally forced the door shut, but still, the girl floated by the window until we got onto the highway.

Apparently we were leaving to stay in a hotel. We got in and got a room. Everybody got settled in, but the green glow appeared at the window, then as I watched, the ghostly girl suddenly appeared with her face pressed against the window. I screamed. And woke up.

Oh god, one of those big fears for me is that there will be a ghost in my house and nobody else will see it or believe me. Maybe this is why this was such a memorable dream for me.

I was in a dark room with some barrels and chairs. I heard footsteps so I tried to hide. All of the sudden the Amnesia Monster breaks down a door and starts toward me. I screamed, and another one busted down the other door. They hissed, "We're coming to get you!" and I screamed louder.

When I woke up, I was in my first block Government class. My teacher was shaking my shoulder and calling me a "coal bucket." I hope I wasn't actually screaming.

These dreams are a couple days old

Under Water

I was in someone elses apartment. I tried to leave through the garage, but when I opened the door that led from the house to the garage, I heard an evil moan. I turned and ran the other way.

I ended up in a room with an angled floor. (I wonder what that represents). Somehow, I was supposed to be underwater, but I wasn't...though all around me were huge aquariums. The only one I really saw was for penguins.

I was concerned about being underwater even though I could breathe. Eventually, someone who worked at the aquarium opened a door from between two of the aquariums. Seeing my chance to escape, someone else yelled, "Fire!" and I ran out.

I was then in Florida in a neighborhood where every house had a boat on a lift, and every street looked the same, with sandy, shell-littered road. That's all I remember.

A Nothing Lucid

I entered a dream lucid, but I was thinking I was awake, or maybe lucid. I tried to manifest a woman, but I couldn't because I thought I was too awake. In hindsight, I realized I was lucid.

I have concluded in waking life that by the time you do an RC, you already know you are lucid. In contrast, I realize that THIS is why you should do an RC. Oh well.

Later, not lucid, I saw a lady standing a couple feet away in a silk neglige. She scratched herself with her pinky. I thought it must have been very soft.
