non-lucid

So this is gonna be kinda hazy because I don't have that good of recall this morning.

This one started out where I was on the back of a jet-ski with these viking kinda guys. We were heading down this mine tunnel to get to this area for god knows why. So I was a little freaked out because we were in an abandoned mine and they are dangerous and I was pretty scared. So we kept down the tunnel until we got to this chamber and it wasn't too big but there was some computer equipment. So as we were passing a lady told me I was in for a fight and I was really confused until we got to the next camber which was more of a long chamber. So when we went in I heard a roar and this giant water beast started swimming around the room and they told me I had to fight it. So I started shooting at it with a shot gun and stuff and it was pretty intense. But then I got knocked into the water and I was facing the creature as it came at me and I kicked it and I think one of the guys shot it and it died. So they were all happy and I got back on the jet ski and we went into the next camber which was like a treasure room or something like that. So any ways we were there and I can't really remember what they did but then they got back on the jet-ski and I was going to drive this time but except it was all new people and I was on my friend's wave runner. It was me him, his sister, his sisters friend and this lesbian chick. So I was going to drive and so we started ant when I went the jet-ski did a huge wheelie and I let go of the throttle and it went down and then my friend told me how to solve that and then we started leaving the mine and I was driving slowly but like it was kind of hard for some reason. So we got to the computer chamber and then the lesbian chick was going to drive and so I was on the back and held onto her shirt. So we left the mine and were out on priest lake and the girl started gunning it and I saw a tornado cloud to my left and she and I were flipping out. So we got back to my friends cabin which happened really suddenly and we were out in the water warning them about the tornado and my friend said it wasn't one and when I turned around the cloud had sorta separated. Then my friend Gavin wanted to go tubing and that's about all I can remember.

9 Dancing in the Rain Was at an amusement park with my brother and sister, just walking around in between rides. We are watching this huge ride that swings peoople all over the place when it comes loose and goes flying through the air. I rem thinking about how badly people would get injured because there is nothing protecting them from what they might crash into, It tumbles to the ground as me and my siblings talk and gasp about it. When this happens i start to question whether or not im dreaming. I start to look at my hand and quickly notice that my pinky is short and stubby like a thumb. As soon as i realize im dreaming it starts raining.

I begin running around in circles and just focus on feeling the rain and really being there in the dream. The rain starts to feel pretty intense on my skin, i even start singing that song "feel the rain on your skin"( lol) Unfortunatel the stabilization didnt work too well and the dream started going black. I was in a void and i decided to try and teleport back to the amusement park. I imagine where i want to go and start screaming with the intention, screaming so loud that i worry i may be doing so in waking life as well, i start to see something appear, i try to use my hands to interact with it but i end up moving my "real" hands and can feel my blanket,

as real as it seemed it turned out to be a fa, i rem getting up from bed and heading into the bathroom, dont rem what i do, i rem coming back and realizing i still havent wrote my lucid in my dj, i get ready to do so, dont rem afterwards, i awoke later pretty confused but still remembered the lucid.

*Flash of being in the woods with my brother and some others. We are watching someone through binos on the other side of the park, apparently there are people after us and they know were over here. All else i rem is my dad driving his truck to our area, i rem some dude who mustve been a park ranger or something showing him the way.

Another night of a stuffy head...Apparently at one point, a window was open while I was sleeping the other day and it is wreaking havoc on my nasal passages....Just when I got over the last stuffy nose, my father had to dish me out a new one.... HOWEVER, this time it DID NOT effect my recall.
I had a dream I went over to a cottage like home. I knocked on the window and my friends mom came out. She asked what I wanted and I told her I was there to face my demon- I was there to talk to Colton. So she went to get him, and his brother Tyler (also a friend of mine) came outside. We greeted each other and he figured out why I was there. He said to me, "You know, Colton is going to do everything in his power to stay away from you. He's still hurt."
I told him I knew now that I had hurt his brother and how badly, and that I was so sorry for it...I wanted to make up and make it up to him.
Colton came outside, and he saw it was me. I went to approach him and say I was sorry, but he merely stared. I tried speaking with him, but he would cover his ears. At one point, he spontaneously turned into a pair of coins that fell to the ground. I began crying. For some reason, Tyler hid away. I looked around to see a pony with a dark red coat and a white star on its forehead emerge from around the corner for no evident reason. It ran towards me and twisted around me. I merely petted it. Tyler freaked out about it, and I was slightly scared as it seemed so sparatic and wild, but I merely yelled to it to go home. It complied and ran back into the yard next door, and I joined Tyler in hiding in a small area next to him. He began to ask me how I did that, and I told him I had watched the horses for my friend Ashley before (true fact) and so I had a small experiance with them. I went on about how it didn't matter though... I still failed at the one thing I came to accomplish. I began to tear up again and talk about how much I missed Colton, and how terrible I felt and the whole sha-bang. It grew quieter as I began to sob and Tyler suddenly says to me, "He heard you. Look outside."
Outside of my hidey-hole was an orange octopus, apparently Colton in a random form. He asked me if I meant what I'd said and asked if I promised this would never happen again. I told him I never wantd this sort of thing to happen and I never wanted him hurt. That I was glad we got past the lies (turns out the reason we have been fighting this entire time because some of our 'friends' had been lieing to us all summer....) and could finally be together again. I hugged the small Coltopus, teary-eyed and smiling. He asked if I wanted a simple kiss or something I can't recall, and I gave him a big kiss on his Octopus cheek. He turned into a person again, helped me up, and we hugged.

END ENTRY

The invitations for a party had to be rewritten and Mum was helping out in order to make sure that they were kind and appropriate. They each included hand written recipients and sibling attendance invitations. They also included personalised apology or condolence or encouragement messages. That is all.

Our world consisted of a number of different districts, each with it's own government, city states if you like. Anyhow, we were of a group of tourists from a few local districts and we had a bus. We arrived in one district from the west. This district was south of our own region of districts. On arrival in this district, we were arrested for some petty crime and put on trial. The questions were all about trivial things. One question I think was about some event at dinner, something to do with the type or quantity of relish used by one individual. The most important issue discussed however was the health condition of one of our party. He had some weird condition of unspecified scope, which requires treatment of the consumption of 'black seed oil' or some such. The prosecutor questioned the witness on the legality of this oil and the witness complained that it couldn't be illegal because it was produced within his district and that would harm the economy. At some point we just decided to leave, and somehow we got away. We drove off in the bus to another district at quite some distance and went to a mass eatery. Something was wrong with it so we walked out and went to a different one. Whilst in the eatery and eating dinner, an attendant approached me and asked if I was from the bus. To this I replied in the affirmative and was informed that the bus was required to be moved before twenty-five people had disembarked. This seemed strange at the time but somehow we were all on the bus again and disembarking. I was the twenty-fifth person but I forgot to inform the driver and M from VTC was there and she asked if I had been aware of the situation and on replying in the affirmative she scolded me for not informing the driver as I was the twenty-fifth passenger. Actually, it strikes me now that the time scale was not linear, in fact on reflection, we may not have left the district but were allowed to leave the court because we had not been caught for the crime yet. In this circumstance it would make sense that we were in fact still eating in the same district, they were not looking for us so we didn't need to get away. The crime could have been in allowing me to get off the bus before moving it. This would also explain the incident questioned in relationship to an event at dinner and how we were told about how we were allowed to disembark the bus after doing so and then given the opportunity of doing it correctly. This doesn't explain the black seed oil however.

Something about digital clocks/timers and two different people actually turning out to both be me.

David Letterman announced on National Radio that "Osama's got Bin Laden!" Harry Ackerman had killed Bin Laden after a dispute on set. From this arose many jokes on the Late Show and I was invited to meet Letterman.

8 Aug 2011


I was trying to steal something from a guy at the top of a multi-storey building. This required finding secret ways up through the floors. The bottom few levels were a shopping centre with office floors above. The layout of the building was similar to many buildings in Sydney's CBD but the shopping centre was similar to a dream I had many months ago. On climbing various devices such as ropes, escalators and swing bars etc. When I was on the private floors I had to be covert in order to evade attention. There were various staff trying to prevent my passage. It gave the general feeling of a Team Rocket base from Pokemon. On reaching the top I found the item which I was intending to steal and the boss was in the room. I thought he didn't see me but as I was leaving, he made it clear that he knew what I was doing and was allowing me to pass in the hope that I would learn from his generosity. He was a Superhero and I was the villain but we were both forced to accept that we were friends not enemies and could drop the stupid charade.

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

Three women appeared in succession. They all looked very similar. They were very pretty, white, with curly, blonde hair and pale eyes. They were probably wearing a lot of makeup, especially rouge.

The women each wore a dress of the same cut -- kind of 1970s style, squarish, with a loose blouse and skirt, made the accentuate the women's thinness. The blouse layered a tiny bit over the waist. The front of the blouse may have had tiny buttons going down the center.

The first woman wore either a blue dress or a red dress; the second woman, either a red dress or a blue dress; and the third, a black dress. Each woman wore a matching hat, like a beret, which sat on the right side of her head.

Dream #2

I may have been reading something. I may also have been hearing what I was reading. Reasons were going to be listed for the failure of a certain project.

Reason number one was being given. I saw the "1)" and the text of the reason being written out, as if on a page, but as if the page were an image superimposed over another image on a TV. Reason number one was that the people in the project were working without any sense of ethical or historical reference.

The "2)" of reason number two was written out. The other numbers may also have been writtenout. But the reasons were all left blank.

1. I noticed that the stars were out of place. I could only find two recognizable constellations, Orion and Scorpio, which seemed to be approximately in their proper locations. I reasoned that the end of this dimension must be very near for the stars to be so disorganized. I was too disappointed to be afraid.

2. I was riding in a vehicle with someone who kept getting in an accident. It was like we were stuck in a death loop. I knew what was going to happen each time but only a few moments before it happened. I never had enough time to warn the driver.

3. Was at a small party in an unfamiliar basement. I kept looking out the window at the feet walking past it. I decided to leave. Before I could everyone gathered into a circle and started confessing their deepest secrets. One of the people confessed to have loved me since 5th grade. I didn't know what to say to this so I said nothing. When my turn for confession came I only admitted that I was bored and wanted to leave. Then I left. The person who confessed love for me followed me but always stayed behind.

On a long journey, we were originally three. We were in a canoe traveling down a river through a jungle which looked like South America when one of my companions deliberately capsized the vessel. The boat sank and we could not get ashore because the shore was deadly for some reason. We had no choice but to swim along the river. My other companion was angry and tried to drown the offender, holding his head under water for about twenty seconds at a time, then releasing him before repeating. I told him to leave it and follow me downstream. He did but the guilty man tried to swim against the river, but eventually defeated, went with the current and joined us again by which time Mr Judge Jury and Executioner had cooled off enough to accept him back. It was generally accepted to have been just a bad joke though no word was again spoken on the matter. Somehow I had a very large stick which seemed to have come from the boat though what purpose it served I am sure I do not understand. It could have been a punting pole. Anyhow, I thought it prudent to hold onto. We reached a small tributary stream and decided to swim up this. After some distance the trees ceased and we were allowed ashore. The current was not strong at first but a rain surge headed down stream against us. We struggled on until the point where the trees thinned and then made our way ashore. I said, "we should stick to the water until we're back in the trees." what I meant was that we were heading back to a plantation from which we had come and since we didn't know how far it was, we needed access to the water. As we progressed, our party seemed to grow with random people who seemed to be adventure seeking. We came to a rocky pass which was guarded by a native tribe who seemed very interested in war. They had large bundles of spears ready to throw at us and many men as well as numerous other armaments. One member of our party suggested that they would be willing to accept another contest in place of war. This was agreeable since we had few weapons ourselves and no skill in war. I approached to parle and was accepted due to my courage in casually grabbing a bundle of spears from one of their warriors and examining it. One new member of our party was Lady Ga Ga, as played by Cher. The war tribe had Beyonce. They were to go head to head in a battle of wits. They were to each construct a rope structure which would be set fire to. Who ever made the rope structure which lasted the longest was to win. If Lady Ga Ga won, we would be permitted to pass. If on the other hand Beyonce won, we would have to turn away from the river and find another way. This was a great spectacle which was enjoyed by all. Lady Ga Ga won but it was late and we decided to stay and party the night, continuing in the morning. The next day, the party had been replaced with my school year group and we were on a coach. We were heading to a beach resort to stay for a few days. It was kind of like a cross between Jyndabine and Schoolies. On arrival after a long journey, the weather was beautiful and we were all dressed and ready for the surf but we were instructed to get into our school suits and attend a formal greeting upon which I discovered that my suit was missing along with many other items which I had packed. This caused me to destabilize and I was thrown out of the dream before I could realize that it was a dream.

I find myself in some kind of school setting, like high school or college. There is some kind of competition going on because there are different "stations" set up throughout the halls and lobbies. Each station is a different kind of skills contest, and the one who successfully completes all of the skills in the quickest time, wins. I'm going through, completing the different stations while at the same time talking to a friend. At one point, though, I am told to go back and redo a certain station by one of the judges/referees because they said I did not do it. But I know I did. So I go back to the station. There are two large tin buckets sitting about 5 feet apart. One is empty; the other is filled with crushed aluminum cans of different colors. I draw a card from the top of a stack of cards and read it: "Throw a blue can into the empty bucket." I complete the task easily but am upset because having to go back and redo that station ruined my chances of winning.
Afterwards, we all head into an auditorium where they are about to announce the winners of the contest. I am still mad and upset, and become even more so when I see that there is no place for me to sit. But then my friends all scoot over and make room for me on the end. At this point, I see that my friends are made up of a mix of people I know in real life and characters from movies and TV shows I have seen; Dr. Dorian (Zach Braff) from Scrubs is one of them. The character 'Rubin' (Paulo Costanzo) from the movie Road Trip is also there, and bragging about how he easily won the contest because for him it was no challenge whatsoever.

For the previous two days prior to having this dream, I had tried to make my dreams more vivid by taking a B Complex supplement that contained 50mg of vitamin B6. The supplement, however, had a negative effect on my dreams because for those two days I could not remember any when I woke up. This next dream is just a fragment, which came back to me while I was in the shower this morning:

All I remember of this dream is sitting at a large table, eating dinner with friends and family. My mother is there, telling me about the house we're in and she asks me, "Isn't it nice?" I somehow know that the house we're in actually used to be two houses but that the person living here knocked out walls to make it one big house. Glancing upward, I point out to my Mom that you can still see where the walls of the old house used to be because whoever remodeled it didn't do a very good job patching up the ceiling.

I remember having a full dream but I have no memory of the dream though it was quite long. After this, I had another dream which was also quite long. I don't remember anything up until the point when two girls I know go off to some place to help in the production of two Nintendo DS games. Upon their return, they are asked a few questions. The wording is blurry but the first was, "What was it like to work on the games?" The second was, "Have you tried out the games?" And the third was, "Do you have copies of the games, may we have a copy?" The answers are unclear to me but I have a distinct feeling that two games were added to my collection despite the fact that I had no physical embodiment in the dream, I believe that I was just an observer and did not take part in any actions. Some time after this scene, we were discussing names, particularly names from the French comic book 'Asterix et Obelix'. Somebody compared the common ending 'ix' from the comic and mentioned Bellatrix Lestrange from 'Harry Potter' and commented on her French name and possible French origin. Someone questioned whether a female name would end in an 'x' in French. Then I needed to go to the toilet.

I'm part of a movie crew shooting a Bela Lugosi style Dracula film. The actor playing Dracula wears more makeup and fur on his face as his creature becomes more evil in the story. We're shooting at an old, underground pagan temple. It's ancient - maybe Mayan or something like that. To get into the temple you have to slip down a water slide. The opening is so small - I am surprised as I watch actors and crew members use the entrance.

Inside the temple or ruins there are a lot of symbols painted. There is a large, round chamber. We're working on the movie, when I suddenly look up. I am shocked to see Christian paintings on the ceiling. I point it out to a member of the crew, showing him the pictures of saints and golden crosses on the ceiling. He tells me that I'm wrong. The symbols are Jewish. He points up at two of the faces on the ceiling and says, "See, that is James and Jesus. Jesus is just another prophet."

We continue working on the film for a while, then begin to explore the ruins, looking for treasure. The scene transitions. It's now myself, my cousin and my sister digging through a house my Grandmother and Aunts used to rent. We're going through their stuff and I know it is because they have died. (They are alive and well in real life, but I don't interactive with them at all). There is nothing of real value there. It's all junk.

I am searching through a coffee table. It has two doored compartments on either end and a large, open area in the center with a shelf. I find two necklaces that are nice but I know the last will and testiment already bequeaths those to myself and my sister so I don't worry about them. There is an angular make-up brush. I know that it is part of a set that my grandmother and aunts gave me as a gift. I don't bother to say anything though, since it's not important that I have the complete set. I also see a grey, dingy calculator. It's one of the old style calculators, large and clunky. I know that that is also somehow "mine" but I don't care to mention it. (None of these items are real items that I have ever seen before at my relatives' house).

My cousin, Matt, is digging through a box. I tell him that I already searched it. "It is just full of Christmas decorations," I tell him, expecting him to move on to search elsewhere. He keeps looking through it and says he will use the stuff to decorate his mailbox. I tell him, "There's a lot in there," trying to hint that it was more stuff than he would need to decorate his mailbox. He looks at me seriously. "What, Christmas isn't important?" he says, clearly agitated. I think for a second about debating about Atheism with him and decide to persue the topic. "Actually, it isn't," I say. Before the argument can get off the ground, my alarm clock wakes me up to get ready for work.

5 Aug 2011

Very vague on details, the dream spanned two days representing the day prior to that night and the one following it. The first day was a Thursday and I was at band rehearsal when some non specific year seven kid - who's instrument I don't recall - talked to me and I noticed that he was wearing one of my Canterbury Polo Shirts (the one with the wide, horizontal, red and blue stripes). I pointed out that I had the same shirt and the conversation blurred out of my memory. Why was he wearing a Polo on a uniform day? The next day at school, at recess I noticed that many others were wearing Canterbury clothing including specifically (but not limited to): J.T., E.J., C.D., myself and two other individuals who's identities I can not recall. They were all different designs however, I was wearing my red and blue polo, I think C.D. was wearing a Canterbury Sport Jacket and E.J. was wearing a Rugby Jersey. The others I don't recall. I nearly wore the same shirt this morning until I remembered the dream. The relationship to these specific days because the band rehearsal was in KM1 as it was yesterday and we had an out of uniform day (jeans for genes) on the Friday as we have today.
