    1. Spider Apocalypse

      by , 08-29-2011 at 04:55 AM
      Had this one last night, really weird. Includes Britt, Laura, Dani, Niki, and myself.

      So I'm at my old house on that dead end street again, and I'm in the living room with my dog (he's a wiener dog). I'm petting him while he's knawing on his basketball toy, when I hear this sound coming from outside, under the window facing the driveway. The best I can describe it is someone sucking jello through a straw, mixed with a dying animal and chewing. It was really gross. I stood up and tried to look out the window to see what it was, but that didn't work. Suddenly my stepmom came stampeding into the living room shouting about something or other, looking really freaked out. She scooped up my dog and said we had to leave town, and went out the back door. I followed her asking why as we walked down the driveway, heading to the street where my car was parked. When we got to where the noise came from my stepmom stopped walking and looked down at the ground. There was a look of pure horror on her face, and she started to cry. I took this chance to snatch my dog from her. She plopped down on the ground and started poking whatever was there, muttering something about "the spiders". Somehow I knew what she meant by that, and started to get really scared. I didn't want to look at what was on the ground, but I felt I had to. I took a quick glimpse, and saw the body of a small dog, or what used to be one. (Don't know where this dog came from; I only had one.) It looked like it used to be a pit bull, but was shrunken down to the size of a chihuahua. All of it's flesh, blood, and organs had been "sucked" out of it, leaving only a pile of bones vacuum-wrapped in it's skin. Also, what used to be the head was nearly separated from the rest of the body. I knew this had been the work of a spider, and started hustling to my car.

      (Random 'facts' I knew about the situation that I was thinking about as I was going to my car: 1) In this world, there are grey/black spiders the size of your hand. They are growing in numbers and slowly taking over the Earth. 2) The spiders are really hard to kill, but can easily kill you. 3)The spiders attack you by jumping on your neck, biting you, and sucking everything up, like a vampire dust buster thingy. Then they crawl inside the wound and eat everything else. 4) In some rare cases the spiders don't eat the flesh of humans; instead they kill them, enter their brain, and control them like zombies. 5) In order to escape the spiders, I needed to leave where I was and head south, FAST.)

      Once I got to my car, I put my dog in the back, along with a big duffel bag of stuff I suddenly had with me. There was already a bunch of stuff in my car. It like we had already planned an evacuation, but didn't want to leave until we were sure the spiders were going to invade. I got in the driver's seat. My stepmom, who had managed to snap out of it, went in the passenger seat. I really hated her (I do in real life, too), but I wasn't mean enough to abandon her in the spider apocalypse. (At this point my thoughts turned to the "past": my dad had died from fighting the spiders; somehow my stepmom and I decided to ignore the fact that we hated each other, and just stick together to better survive the spider-thing. You know, like how when people are stranded on a desert island, they're sort of forced to work together or die.) I started driving off. While I was driving I noticed the whole town looked really spooky. All the trees were dead and black, and the grass was yellow and patchy, mixed with dry dirt. There was nobody outside at all, except some dead bodies. There were no lights on, anywhere. Everything looked really run-down and crappy. All the cars were rusty and junky (broken windows, doors left open, flat tires, turned over, crashed, etc.) and were just lying around wherever, while the houses were abandoned and destroyed (broken windows, doors open, nasty shingles, empty, etc.). The sky was sepia tone (which is cool because the sky really was like this one day), but I couldn't see the sun or any clouds. I drove for a while before my stepmom started telling me some directions to a "safe house". We stopped at a building that was once white, but now almost grey. It looked like a trailer home without the wheels, or windows. We went up to the door, and my stepmom knocked. A lady answered the door; she was tall and skinny, with greasy black hair pulled back into a pony tail. She wore way too much makeup, but her eyes still looked sunken in and tired. Oh, and she wore orange shorts and a white shirt. "Hiii, welcome to Hooters!" she said. I gave my stepmom a "WTF" look as we went inside. The Hooters lady closed the door. Not only did the building look like a trailer home on the outside, but it did on the inside too. It was really long to my left and right, but so narrow that I could barely turn around. There was nasty, thin carpeting on the floors, and nothing on the walls. Besides some other random people lying in the hall, the only thing there was a round wooden table with a pile of wadded blankets on it. The Hooters lady went to the table and grabbed a ragged, thin blue blanket. "Will you be sleeping here tonight?" I wondered why she was still acting like this place was a restaurant; it didn't look like one, and I doubted she had any food to serve us. My stepmom said yes, and so the lady led us down the hall to the left until she got to a door. She opened it up and threw the blanket inside, let us go in, and then closed the door. There wasn't any light, so it was hard to see, but I knew there was a bunch of people in this room too. I 'went to sleep', and woke up the next day. I went out of the room to try and find the Hooters lady to pay her, but she was nowhere to be found. I went back to ask my stepmom what to do about this, but I couldn't find her either. I decided I would just leave, since my stepmom was probably dead, and I didn't want to hang back and get killed myself.

      I got in my car and drove until the sky was blue again, and there was plant life/people around me. I got off the road, stopped at a motel (it was white on the outside, but I didn't see the name of it), and got a room. The guy led me to my room, explaining I'd have to buddy up with someone because they didn't have any open rooms, with everybody trying to escape the spiders. He opened the door for me, gave me my key, and left. There were two twin beds in the room, with a window in the middle and white walls (like my dorm room, except plainer looking and sorta junky). To my surprise, the other person in the room was my friend Brittany. We were both surprised to see each other, and happy we had both survived the spiders. I asked her where the rest of her family was; she was quiet for a few seconds, and instead of answering, she showed me around the room. She had some clothes in the sliding door closet next to the door, and some bags/clothes around her bed. It was sort of cluttered, but that's to be expected. (It's hard to be organized when you're on the run from spiders, and have to live with everything you own in a motel room.) She told me she'd been living here for a while, and that it was really safe, and the people running the hotel didn't even charge anyone because it was a safe house now. I set down my one bag next to my bed (which only had one old sheet on it), and went back to my car to get the rest of my stuff. Once I had everything inside the room, it was even more cluttered, but we could still walk around easily enough. My dog suddenly appeared in the room, which is weird because I lost track of him for a while there. I was about to close the door, when suddenly a gray spider ran through. Britt and I screamed. I just so happened to have a crowbar in my hand, so when it jumped at me, I whacked it really hard. It made a 'crack' sound, and blood spattered everywhere. The spider flew over to the window, but disappeared when if fell in our junk.

      I shut the door all the way and locked it. We knew the spider was only stunned because I had hit it with a blunt object, so we had to find it and kill it before it woke up. I started searching for the spider while Britt looked for a sharp object. While we searched we were freaking out. I said, "Where did that come from?! I thought this was a spider free area! Are they migrating that fast?!" Britt said, "Dude I don't know! Just find it! Maybe it hitched a ride on somebody's stuff when they came here? Like somebody didn't look over their shit properly or something?" Britt pulled out an old rusty handsaw from somewhere. It had a red handle, and all the teeth were worn off, but it was still sharp. She demonstrated how we would properly kill the spider when we found it. "I think it might have fallen below the window," she said. I moved some of my stuff from below the window, and found the grey spider. It was just lying there, still stunned. Britt rushed over with the handsaw, put it on the spider, and pushed down. I helped push too. We managed to cut the spider in half (the outside of it was steel hard, but the inside was soft and fleshy, so once we pushed hard enough to cut through the skin the rest took no effort). Blood spattered from the spider again. Once we knew we had killed it, we did a high five. Britt went to get somebody to dispose of the body. When she opened the door, Laura was on the other side.

      Britt and I were surprised/happy to see Laura. She came inside holding a cleaver. We asked her how she found us, and she told us she was staying in the motel with Niki, and had seen me bring my stuff inside. She showed us her cleaver like it was her prized possession, and told us how it was really good at killing spiders. I talked to her while Britt went to get someone to take care of the spider. After a while I looked outside the window. The view was really pretty. It was an ocean bank, surrounded by long grass with two trees on each side. One was a palm tree (right) and one was a willow (left). The sky was blue with a few white clouds. In the middle was some random guy fishing. He was all decked out in fishing gear and stuff. After catching a small silver fish he left, so I could see the water better. It was clear blue and sparkly. It dropped off from the bank immediately. While I was looking at the pretty view an orca swam up and purposely beached itself on the bank. I wasn't sure whether to be worried or not. At first I freaked out, thinking it was a sign of the spiders coming, but when I looked at it, it was smiling and rolling around happily, so I knew it was okay. After it went back in the water I looked back to Laura, who was still talking about all the spiders she had killed with her cleaver.

      Britt came back in the room, and with her was Dani. She said she had found her while looking for someone to clean up the spider. We were all happy to see each other, but after a while I asked Britt if she had actually found anyone to take care of the spider. Dani answered by saying her dad was coming with a wood chipper. We all looked at her, surprised. "Your dad is here?" I said, since everyone else seemed to be parentless. "Yeahhh...?" said Dani. "He has a woodchipper? Cool!" said Laura. Dani's dad entered the room carrying his "handheld woodchipper" (he had to duck to get through the door). We all said hi. Dani's dad grabbed the two pieces of the spider and threw it in the wood chipper. He left to go outside so he could finish the job without getting spider-puree in out room. We all started talking about what we were planning to do. Dani apparently had just gotten here, so she had no idea. Britt said she had been here for a while, and was planning to move further south soon. I agreed that that was a good idea (since I wasn't sure about where that spider came from). Laura agreed too, and we decided to head out tonight together. Laura went back to her room to pack up, while Britt and I packed up too. Dani stood there until her dad came back to show us his spider killing tool, which was like a shiny dagger. Dani and her dad left the room, leaving Britt and I packing. This is where I woke up.

    2. Party/Weird Board Game

      by , 08-29-2011 at 03:11 AM
      Had this one a while ago but didn't bother to record it.

      So my friends (Britt and Laura) and I were at Laura's house in her basement. Actually it wasn't her basement, because it looked completely different and had windows, but for whatever reason I felt like that's where we were. Anyways, we were partying it up and dancing around. There was music and a bunch of balloons and some food. After a while we all got bored. I suggested we go to my house so I could pick up this board game. My friends hate board games, but I convinced them this one was super fun, so we hopped in Laura's Tahoe and drove to my house. Instead of going where I actually lived at the time of the dream, we headed towards my old house on a dead end street. Laura was driving and Britt and I were in the back; she was on the right and I was on the left. A couple of times Laura teleported to the middle back, and the car drove itself. When we got near the intersection of 76th and Morgan, I pointed out to Laura there was construction ahead. She climbed back to the front of the car and slowed down, because the construction zone hadn't been taped off or anything, it was just a bunch of potholes and equipment and stuff lying around the road. There was one guy standing there directing traffic (we were the only ones though), and he had us drive on the other side until we got to the lights. (Side note: in my dream it's evening now, so it's sort of dark but the street lights aren't on yet.) When we got to the traffic lights (still on the wrong side of the road) Laura stopped and said she'd just drop me off here. I didn't understand why because I still had to go like 14 blocks West and a few more blocks North, but I didn't complain since it wasn't a big deal. I said I'd be right back with the game, got out of the car, and crossed the street. I saw Laura drive into the used car lot on the corner and park before I started running to my house. I ran a few blocks up Morgan when I looked down at my feet and noticed I suddenly had some funky chicken-looking boots on. They were neon-pink and went up to my knees, and the ends looked like chicken feet (which means in order for anyone to really fit in these, half of their feet would be chopped off). I wondered why I was wearing them, but then realized I was running faster than I normally would be able to without them, so I just kept them on. After a while longer I heard footsteps behind me. I looked back (still running) and saw a girl jogging behind me. She was blonde with a pony tail, and had a sports bra and shorts on. She was also wearing tennis shoes that were the same color as my chicken boot things. And she had a creepy ass smile on her face. I wasn't sure whether I should be scared or not, but it didn't seem like she was following me at all. Still, I decided to pick up the pace. When I got to 84th and Morgan I turned right, and when I looked back the jogging girl was gone. I continued on into the little suburb area where my old house was, and I started to get really nervous. For whatever reason I felt like I shouldn't be going back to my house, because my parents might still be there and I'd wake them up (but in real life they've been out of that house for like a year). (Another side note: it felt like I was 'hiding' from them or something.) When I got to my house it was night time. The whole thing was dark and empty looking (as it should be). I opened the door without any keys and went into my old bedroom in a hurry. Oddly enough, my bedroom was untouched. Everything was as it was before I moved out. On my bed was the board game I was supposed to get. I sat down on my bed and opened up the lid of the game, and got sucked into it.

      When I 'woke up' in the board game, I was in this really big castle-ish room. (I say castle-ish because it had stone walls and floors, churchy windows, and candle lamps.) It was dark except for the light coming from the candles. Around me were ceiling high mounds of crap, like a hoarder lived in the room. I wandered around through the maze of junk until I ran into an old man. He was holding something, but I don't remember what. Also he said something to me that I don't remember. I followed the old man until we came to a clearing in the junk. There were like five random kids my age gathered around a campfire. They looked like they were from an 80's tv show. When we got there, the kids started gathering around us. The old guy pulled out some weird bracelet thingy and put it on me. He told me something was going to happen, and if I lived I would get my board game. (At this point I started to wonder why I would go through all this effort to get the game... and why I was getting the game from IN the game... but I didn't feel panicky or anything because I knew I had done this before.) This really loud windy-noise came from somewhere, and things around me started to get blue and blurry as the noise got louder. All the people around me sort of fell down; I think they died. I looked down at the bracelet on my arm, and saw that it was now IN my arm, under my skin. As the noise continued to get louder, and the background turned completely blue/purpley and whooshy, the bracelet started to grow. It really hurt, but the old man's voice came from somewhere and told me if I made it through without my arm exploding I would get the board game. Unfortunately I woke up before I found out if I made it.

    3. Mermaids

      , 08-29-2011 at 12:55 AM (Hyu's Adventures)
      I'm at a lake with 3 of my friends, D. S. and a girl. (I actually don't know the girl in waking life, but in the dream I thought I did)
      We're just chilling, having a few beers, setting up the barbecue grill and lying in the sun.
      The weather is rarely this good around here, this is nice.

      We start discussing random things, until we finally reach the topic of the supernatural.
      One of my friends, S. immediately insist that everything even remotely related to the supernatural is completely bogus.
      D. on the other hand says that he just believes whatever it is he actually experiences.
      If he had a supernatural experience, so be it.
      I agree with D. and say that it is always good to be open minded, and have to explain to S.
      that there is a huge difference between being open to ideas and actually believing that something supernatural has to exist.
      The girl that is with us seems to agree with me, but she's not saying anything.

      We argue about this a bit until I get the inexplicable urge to claim that I have actually had supernatural experiences.
      This causes some silence, until someone finally asks what happened.
      I feel odd, like I'm supposed to say specific things.
      The feeling becomes so strong that I just decide to say them.

      "The world is actually full of the supernatural, but our limited minds have a tendency to ignore whatever we cannot comprehend."
      "This is such bullshit mate."
      "If you say so."
      "Yes, I do say so, the idea that anything like that could exist is just retarded."

      The girl talks for the first time:

      "Do you dream, S.?"
      "What? no. Who cares about dreams anyways?"
      "Then it is no wonder you do not understand."
      "What the fuck?"
      "She's right, S."
      "Now you're just fucking with me..."

      Sitting right in front of the lake, I start humming a melody.
      This catches the girls attention and she sits down next to me.

      "What are you doing?"
      "I'm calling out to the mermaids."
      "Wow... do mermaids really exist?"

      S. is just shaking his head claiming that we've gone completely nuts.
      But then my humming is answered by songs from far away.
      They quickly get closer, until finally, a few figures emerge from the water right in front of us:


      They are definitely mermaids, and they seem to be absolutely magical creatures.
      The sound of their songs is heard from everywhere at once.
      One of the mermaids emerges quite far from the water, in order to come closer to me.
      You can clearly see her tail, covered in beautiful fins shimmering in all kinds of colors.
      Yet through the outside transparent layer, you can clearly see that she has legs and feet just like us.
      She is insanely cute.

      "You're the one singing for us."
      "Yes, I am."
      "I am honored. Come with us to our lands and we will sing for you."


      Then it sort of strikes me. Such magical encounters don't really happen in waking life, I'm dreaming, it's obvious.
      The girl with us, whom I now realize I don't actually know starts talking to another mermaid, and asks her if she can come.

      "All of you may come, but there is a price to be paid."
      "A price?"
      "We ask for no more than a kiss."

      A kiss? what an interesting request.
      The girl with us immediately kisses one of the mermaids, and she does so quite passionately.
      The mermaid then embraces her and they both disappear into the water.

      "You guys coming?"
      "..."
      "Oh well, suit yourselves..."

      I kiss the mermaid in front of me... it is quite salty but very enjoyable nevertheless.
      She embraces me and we fall down into the water...


      ... I'm at the bottom of the ocean, in some sort of habitat.
      It is covered by a huge air bubble, allowing myself to breathe.
      There's still quite a bit of water though, it is about knee deep, so it is easier to swim from room to room than to walk.
      All of the rooms are decorated by colorful corals.
      There are mermaids chatting and singing everywhere, it is such a nice place.
      The girl who was with me is sleeping in a huge bed with two mermaids by her side.

      A mermaid approaches me and puts a necklace around my neck.
      It's a silver chain with a crystal tear on it.
      It's really nice, but a bit girly.
      Not like I'd care about that in a dream though.
      I want to tell the mermaid how much I appreciate the gift, but whilst I'm doing it I realize the inevitable:

      "... Faye?"
      "Yes Hyu?"
      "... why don't you ever say something?"

      She just sticks out her tongue.

      "If you were more aware during your dreams you'd notice it earlier."
      "How can I be more aware?"
      "Practice practice..."
      "Yeah... I figured there was no easy way."
      "Now, that wouldn't be any fun, would it?"
      "To be honest, it probably would."

      She laughs.

      "Yes you're right, it actually would."

      I play with her fins. They feel so realistic.

      "Hey... shouldn't we be doing something?"
      "Like what?"
      "I don't know... like... like visiting Krista!"
      "We could, if it'd take you less than half an hour to remember your goals."
      "I really need to work on that..."
      "Don't you have like... any tips for me? For remembering goals, to increase awareness, anything?"
      "How about you'd start by stabilizing all of your dreams properly friend?"

      Shit... I've completely forgotten to do that.
      And the dream has already darkened quite a bit.
      I start rubbing my hands in an attempt to stabilize it, but it doesn't seem to work.
      I remain in darkness for a bit until I wake up.
    4. dream timer

      by , 08-29-2011 at 12:20 AM
      for the first time last night i used a dream timer, i set it to go off every 30 minutes. i think it was to quiet because i don't remember ever hearing it waking me up but i remember waking up plenty of times during the night. none of my dreams were lucid but i recalled more dreams than i usually do I think the dream journal is really helping out so heres my dreams in order of what i remember.

      Grateful Dead
      me and 3 of my friends were hanging out in my room doing nothing looking for something to do like usual but i remember i had a good amount of blotter acid in my drawer and i remembered thinking it would be sweet to trip at a concert right now. then mitchell said something about the grateful dead and next thing i remember its all 4 of us were in a big crowd at a field i took all 10 tabs that i had and i went around hunting for mdma and more acid because i believed the tabs to be bunk. all of a sudden the whole crowd started migrating towards a stage and i remember i was all the way in the back with some new age hippy (if that makes sense) i asked if he had any rolls or tabs and he said he did but he wouldnt sell them to me because we were all the way in the back i got mad but moved my way right up to the front of the stage rejoining my friends and the dead started playing and the scenery on stage was changing. but they were playing all new songs with parts from hip hop and slightly stoopid. the whole crowd was silent and i remember thinking this is the greatest music ive ever heard i blacked out after that thought.

    5. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Vesterguard's Dream

      by , 08-28-2011 at 11:36 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Vesterguard's Dream

      non-lucid - Notes - lucid

      28-08-11 I walk into Drew's room and he is playing computer games. He has 12 hours off and I ask him if he intends to spend all of those playing computer games. I sort of want him to come along, but he doesn't want to do anything but play.

      I think he is there with his girlfriend, but she isn't going to be there.


      I am in eastern Europe walking up to a gold course. The weather is sunny and we are walking uphill.

      Some of the family friends are there. I am going to play golf, but I know already that I don't meet the requirements to go on the full course, but will have to settle for the par 3 course. The full course looks like it is located in a farmland zone.

      I go to play golf with my dad, but it is a really weird par 3 course. It can't actually be described as a par 3 at all.

      First of all the shots has to be fired from inside a room on a floor above the course. I can't find my way into this room so the way I shoot the first couple of shots is by reaching in behind a grass curtain and popping out the ball, which results in comparatively horrible shots compared to the people who are hitting the balls with clubs from behind the wall.

      I see my dad in there and ask how to get in, and he swiftly directs me. On the way in I notice these scoreboards that proclaim I have 55 (or 53) shots per hole, which is utter ridiculous.

      Inside I can't even hit the balls and I have to kneel down and reach under some wooden box to get out the ball, which counts as a shot and a new ball appear. My shot is shown on a TV screen and a guide tells me that it is too soon to attempt putting.


      Following Andy Belflour through a couple of attempts at solving a puzzle in a burning house. It starts with him shooting a cat/rat to obtain a key to the door that will lead him to the second floor. Don't know what happens after, but there is a woman commenting his lack of skills at the scenario.


      We are in a military squad and we are chasing a predator (from the movies). A few of the guys fall prey to him.

      We are in a scenario that seems a mixture of a construction site and muddy jungle, though the mud seems made from tire tracks.

      At one point I observe the predator turning invisible and start targeting people with the signature three dots. Some of the people with me might actually turn invisible as well.

      Back at base there is a message from Atras. It explains that we have a new vehicle available on the mission.

      Immediately after this the dream jumps to showing the predator pursuing a female member of our squad. They are both on motor cycles and she can't shake him. However she activates this machine in the middle of the site that has an arm that starts spinning around. On it's way around it picks up either another vehicle or container and as it swings around the woman ducks under it, but the predator aint that lucky and smashes into it head first.

      This may be the vehicle Atras was talking about.


      Reading DV forum threads. Mancon explains that his reasons for joining IOSDP is that he believes it in his heart that shared dreaming is possible and is looking for experiential confirmation as there is no recognised scientific support or even possible explanations yet (there are a few, though they are ousted from the mainstream community).

      In another thread someone is questioning Nomad why he couldn't get into, I believe you call it ivy league universities. And asks if he has a criminal record or something.

      He replies that he couldn't because of behvor (the spelling was also wrong in the dream, hence I have replicated it here ^^).

      Notes: The reason I have joined IOSDP is exactly as posted by Mancon in my dream, and I have no clue if Nomad has gone to university or not, so sorry for dragging your guys into my head like this ^^. On a positive note, this is the first time IOSDP members figure in my dreams.


      In the beginning of the night I keep waking up and falling into very similar dreams. These dreams consists of protecting the spirit of Ayahuasca from misunderstanding and abuse.

      One of these representations of her is a rather large woman. I keep thinking to myself how awesome it would be to actually meet her without taking the vine of souls (though I also want to try that)


      Very short Lucid.

      I see the dream manifest around me and I want to give it a bit of time to stabilise.

      I am standing in a doorway and the scenery is forming around me, the light indicates daytime. There is a yellow building outside and a lot of people on the streets. I walk outside looking around.

      I am gonna try a new way of getting to Chichén Itza this night. I want to try and summon a UFO to take me there, but it is too early for it, it will wreck the dream if I try it now I sense.

      So I keep watching the scenery, there is a brown(ish) building with a curved rooftop and it is actually rather tall. I am trying to calm down, which is very hard this time because I feel truly amazing. Like I am floating, but it is different to how I normally feel when flying. Think the best way of describing the feeling is like floating on a cloud of love.


      The dream fades, but I am left with the floating-love sensation in my bed, so it aint all bad.

      Been reading a lot about "2012" stuff and the other natural disasters that are happening right now, earthquakes and hurricanes, so I'm not surprised that I had a dream last night where the world was washed up by the ocean and somehow Batman swooped in and saved us all. <3 danananananaaaa thanks Batman.

    7. Zombie Portal!

      by , 08-28-2011 at 08:13 PM (Zukin's Dream Journal! <3)
      Fun fact: This was the first time in my entire life that I have dreamed of a zombie apocalypse.

      Zombie Portal

      I was in a darkened store. We had discovered that the elevator had broken.

      The elevator had turned into a portal for zombies.

      We teamed up and got as many weapons as we could from the store, shovels, knives, etc - anything sharp or deadly. I was left with sharp little darts. They would only be effective if I could attack the zombies from a distance. I remember that I was wearing a yellow jacket. The jacket had pockets in the front where I could keep my extra darts.

      The zombies would come out from the elevator portal. Their flesh was falling off of their face. We tried to kill as many as we could on the first round, but many would escape to seek prey around the store.

      Joe and I decided to go and hunt the rogue zombies. We were disappointed and disheartened to find many of our teammates dead on the floor. If they were bitten by the zombies, they too would also become a zombie soon.

      We spotted a rogue zombie and I began throwing my sharp darts at it. I was surprised at how well they worked. Straight through the heart!

      Unfortunately, they only worked so well. The zombie continued to creep towards me. Once it got close enough to me, I could recognize that it was the face of a fellow peer. The face was now disfigured, gray, and emotionless. Stripped of any liveliness that it once contained.

      I didn't have a knife to defend myself, so I pushed the darts through his body and knocked the zombie to the floor. It took me down with it for a fight to the death. I didn't know zombies could bleed, but I figured that they could when I began to engage in Zukin Slaughter (a term for when I begin to overkill my enemy).

      Once the zombie had been slaughtered, I proceeded to find Joe.

      I took him from his slaughtering and lead him down a long dark hallway, in which he protested every minute of as it was very very creepy. The hallway was something out of a Harry Potter castle. Dark and wet and arched. Because there wasn't any life here, there also wasn't any zombies.

      I took him to what was supposedly my dorm.

      "Joe, I need to die," I pleaded.

      "Why?" He asked.

      "They got me," I returned. I showed him my stomach. The top part had been lacerated so badly all that was visible in the moonlight that poured out from the window was blood.

      "I don't want to become one of them," I whispered.

      In that moment, Joe had a powerful vision. He saw all of the names of the survivors etched in gold. All of the names of the heroes.

      "I need to help them," He assured, "quiet, listen." We heard footsteps outside of the door. We weren't sure if it was zombie or human.

      "I need to go," Joe announced. And I was left there in the quiet dorm with the moonlight as my only companion. The door was locked behind him as he left.

      Mean Chick

      I was moving into the dorm. Mine was a mess. Somebody had left all of their belongings here last year.

      I remember being at an auditorium. There was a girl sitting next to me who had very short platinum blonde hair. She took my hand in a strange protective manner.

      There was also a girl who was being mean spirited. She was getting physically violent with the other girls.

      What interests me the most about this dream though was the girl with the short platinum blonde hair. She followed me throughout the dream.

      In my DJ I also wrote "syringe and self hate"...Yeah I don't really know what I meant by that

    9. 24th shared dreaming attempt - MrIrony's dream

      MrIrony's dream

      I'm a member of Organizations XIII. (Yup, it's from Kingdom hearts.)

      I kinda switch between who I am, but I think I started as Axel. We're exploring a new area and making a map of it. We walk through a canyon that has different sized holes in the walls. The place that it led was a big, round area with no other exits than the canyon. (I didn't really see that place, I just saw the map.) Xigbar found some secret doors inside the holes of the canyon, but I can't remember what was inside.

      I think that after that we found an entrance to a cave in the dead end area. Axel, Demyx, Roxas and Larxene went explore it. I think. Whoever there was with me, I was Roxas. Then some weird, giant, mutant, zombie baby appeared there. It was apparently Roxas'. I (Roxas.) asked Demyx to take the baby and teleport out of here, because he's the weakest one and we others can fight our way out of there. Then I saw the place from third person. We were flying away from the cave using a spacesip similiar to the Planet express ship from Futurama.

      Some tentacles or whatever are chasing the ship and I need to use some psychic powers to pull obstacles on their way. We make it out of there. Then we're standing in the Organizations base. "Um... This might seem like a stupid question..." I start to say. "It is.Larxene says. "...But where's Demyx?" Everyone looks at each other and I realize my baby, and Demyx, are gone. I hug Xaldin and start to cry.

      The next thing I remember is that I'm standing somewhere with two boys. I'm still Roxas. By some weird logic those kids are my sons and once I realize that I hug them and cry tears of joy. Then everything goes black and once I see something again I'm standing next to a train track that's, for some reason, in the middle of the Organization's base. (The blackout was kinda like a "Ten years later" thingy.) My sons come from the train and everyone starts celebrating. Except me. I walk away, take out some map and teleport to some island. There's a tall tower there that looks like a volcano or something with scaffolds circling around it. I might have turned into Sora now. I climb up the tower and the dream turns so that I'm watching a video of some guy showing how to beat an optional boss called Dark Impetus that's at the top of the tower. (No, I didn't know what "impetus" meant before today, and yes, that's a weird name.)

      Once he gets to the top there's some kind of crater there. There's a pillar in the middle of it and on top of it stands the monster. It's a human figure with red electricity surrounding it. It throws stuff and shoots rainbow-colored beams at Sora to attack. Every time it attacks the "video" freezes and some text appears that explains what this attack does. When Sora finally knocks that thing down and attacks it, it turns out to be a miniature grenade surrounded by red energy. I wake up.

      I spent the rest of the class doing something i cant remember
      at the end he waite for everyone to leave than gave back my scooter
      he had cut the bars in half and made the handles about 2 inches long
      i flipped out started yelling at him about how much it cost and started tossing shit in the room around

      so they were just in the basement doing nothing so i left
      i went upstairs into my kitchen and did some stuff

      i remembered that i still had to do 2 nights worth of science homework
      the school year has jsut atrted and im all ready screwing up i thought to myself
      i was tired though so i put some headphones on and went to take a nap
      i slept while listening to this weird alt rock song i have never heard before and then got up when it eneded
      all of a sudden there was a knock at the door and i went to open it

      all around the entrance where the awuariums each filled with diffferent fish, the walls where covered in posters of fish and someone had taped on straws to their mouth so they looked liek they were drinking
      plus the stairs to his basement were by the door which isnt where they are IRL
      I almost became lucid because i said to myself " i know his mom only has a 60 gallon tank and it looks like there is about 15 of those here, hmm i must just be calculating it wrong" and went on with the dream

    12. 24th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Ashraen

      by , 08-28-2011 at 06:30 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Dream 1 (non lucid)
      I was in a large house filled with mostly strangers, and we were preparing to wait out a hurricane. We were watching/listening to weather reports (which weren't on a tv, but seemed to be on display in the air around us- sort of). As the hurricane approached, I was watching out a window, and I saw it coming as a wall of red hot magma. When it got to the house, I was in a large closet with a couple of other people, but the closet only had curtains for doors. The lava began to fill the house, burning and swallowing things. Somehow, the level of the lava stayed just low enough to not fill the closet that I was in, but I could see it flowing through the rest of the house. Just as it was about to spill over into the closet, the hurricane subsided and the magma left the house.

      There was a brief period where everyone was discussing/reliving the passing of the 'cane. We were talking about it, but also there was a kind of 're-experiencing' of the whole thing, kinda like a dream of it within the dream, but not exactly. It was rather strange, actually.

      Dream 2 (non-lucid)
      This was definitely a separate dream, but I was aware of the lava hurricane from the previous dream in it. I was out back behind my house, surveying the destruction that the storm had rent. The swimming pool was empty, but littered with debris. There were several family members out with me, also looking around. I noticed a snake over near one of my cousins and warned him about it. My grandmother saw it too, and announced that it was a 'beautiful adult rattler.' As I made my way away from the snake, I saw another, and another, and another. There were dozens of rattlesnakes, and they were chasing my family members around with their heads up in the air like cobras raised to strike.

      I called out to the family to warn them, and suddenly a bunch of the snakes were heading after me. I tried to draw them out away from my family, but when I did, I got caught in the middle of 2 packs of them and had no way to escape. As the snakes got dangerously close to me, I woke up.

      Dream 3 (lucid)
      I was in an old girlfriend's house, and she was in college. We were laying on the couch, and her roommates and other friends were coming in and out, stocking the fridge, watching tv. I got my guitar out and was playing/singing, entertaining myself and anyone else who cared to listen. Another guy got out a tiny guitar- it was an acoustic but had electric strings- and began jamming along, but it sounded terrible. I wanted to tell him to stop because he was ruining the jam, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings, so I just gritted my teeth and tried not to let it throw me off

      After awhile, I decided that my gf was spending too much time talking to other guys in the house, and I got a little jealous that she wasn't paying me enough attention. I told her I wanted to go, so she needed to take me to my car. I loaded my guitar into her car (which was actually my current car), and she drove with me in the passenger seat and one of her girlfriends in the back. She was driving me through a parking lot of cars, and I seemed to know that people were parked here for a wedding.

      As we got to where she would drop me off, I got out of the car. I was jealous and upset, and this didn't seem to bother her at all, so I grabbed her phone and threw it out into the street, hoping to get a reaction from her. It didn't, and the phone also didn't break (which irritated me), so I did a 'do-over.' I grabbed the phone again (which was back in the car) and chunked it harder, imagining it breaking into pieces with it hit the road this time. It did.. and the ridiculousness of what I was doing plus the fact that I 'made' it shatter with my mind caused me to become lucid.

      Alas, I didn't remember to go to the pyramid. This was my first lucid on a dream attempt night, and my first in a week dry spell. I've recently taken a job where I spend my weekdays 400 miles away from home and only come home on the weekends, and this has my routine all off. (excuses, excuses, I know ) Anyway, I stabilized for a minute, then headed to a nearby house, trying to move superfast. I couldn't move my legs fast, so I just glided along over the ground, focusing on making the world around me move by me really quickly. It worked, and I streaked over to the house.

      As I neared the house, it began to rain (sprinkle), and I woke up and had to pee really bad

      Dream 4 (lucid)
      After a bathroom break, I found myself on a crowded street with people driving, walking, biking, etc. A car was weaving around and coming close to hitting me. As I began to think about how strange this was, I noticed a house... and it was the same house had been dreaming about in the previous dream. I remembered that I had been lucid dreaming, and became lucid again.

      I did my superspeed thing down the road and to the house. I once again failed to remember to go to the pyramid.. d'oh!!!!!
      I remembered that I was on the second task of Nomad's dream RPG, and went into the house to look for a mirror, to get myself into character. I was not wearing the clothes that I had given my character in the previous adventure, and I tried to change them on myself. I was able to give myself the hat that I had, but I couldn't make my shirt right. I was able to change it, but it kept changing into a blue pancho or a blue sweatshirt.

      After ALOT of working at this, I was able to come up with a shirt that- while not exactly what I was going for- fit my character pretty well, but I still needed the brown leather pants. For the life of me, I could NOT do it. i kept looking away from the mirror, imagining what I would look like with the pants on, and looking back, but every time I was wearing some type of shorts or blue jeans. I wasted way too much time trying to do this, and eventually woke up.

    13. Predicted zombie invasion disproved

      by , 08-28-2011 at 06:10 PM
      A bunch of people that I have never met before and I were in the bathroom. About 5 people. We were just camping there. I was wondering why we were all there and the guy told me that we are going to cade in the bathroom the defend the incoming zombie invasion. I asked him where he got that information and he told me a website. I left the bathroom for a second to get my iPad from my room and came back and layed in the tub. My feet touched my white silk underwear that was in the tub that I must've forgot to remove. I then looked up her website, and the lady claims that in this amount of time, an outbreak will begin and the apocalypse will begin. I ended up in this field area I believe. I think I left their shelter and saw this one girl I knew. I asked her if she saw the zombies or anything, and she said no, that's bullshit. I ended up finding the girl who made the site, I think. I found something to disprove her. A gem or something. Then I had ro run past these students from my school. It was a long path but when I made it to this cropfield I knew where I was going. At my destination I tried to get to her before she left, but she boarded this train. I asked someone nearby who for their information folder and they handed it to me. It had my French teachers info.

    14. Floating Around the Neighborhood

      by , 08-28-2011 at 05:30 PM (The Lab Notebook)
      Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

      I'm on my laptop, playing one of the mini-games within Petpet Park, when the game interrupts me with a pop-up notification saying that I've set a score record and asking me to fill in the name I want to display next to the record. I type in my player character's name. As soon as I finish typing it, it changes to a completely different, longer name. I think, Computers don't usually change what you've typed after you've typed it. I must be dreaming! I reach up and pinch my nose and, just as I had expected, feel that otherworldly sensation of being able to breathe through it. I feel a strong surge of excitement and happiness.

      Suddenly, I find myself lying in my bed in my current bedroom. Still knowing perfectly well that I'm dreaming, I climb out of bed and walk out of the room and down the stairs. I hop down the last few steps, enjoying the way it takes me a couple of seconds to float down and land as gently as a feather on the floor, unlike in reality. In the living room, where the stairs end and where the ceiling is high, I float into the open space like a balloon for a few moments. I'm having a great time.

      Then I decide to go out the front door. I start trying to go through it intangibly, thinking, I know I can do this. I've done it before. I can see the door and its interior, which are dark brown, and then the front yard as I begin to go through the door. I don't get all the way through it, though. I end up walking out onto the front path, then realizing that I've made a hole in the door with my face, and my face is still stuck through it; I've brought it with me. “This is stupid,” I say. I peel it off and toss it aside; it feels like it's made of thin plastic.

      Now that I'm outside, I start floating again. I see two dogs in somebody’s yard and start flying higher, making sure I'm out of their reach in case they try to jump up and attack me.
      [Darn irrational fears. I have that one in real life, too. I know I could have confronted it and perhaps reduced its hold through this dream, but it didn't occur to me to do so at the time.] However, the dogs do no such thing. I continue flying, and think, It's good that I'm in my own neighborhood, and it looks just like it does in reality. [Except that it didn't, not quite. The street turned to the right in the dream at a place where it dead-ends in reality.] Down on the street, I see two cartoony-looking kids named Sam and Sarah talking to each other. At some point during their conversation, I woke up.

      I was with my buddy Brandon and his girlfriend, Maggie, at my HS reunion. I ran into an old schoolmate and he was showing me a bunch of stuff (his stuff I'm assuming). He had an old Power Ranger zord that I had as a child and I made him give it to me. I was really, really excited to have it back and showed it off to Brandon & Maggie. I leave the building and call out to them to hurry up. I run outside and hide in the shadows so they don't know where I'm at. Then a car drives up this grassy hill catching air, Dukes of Hazards style, towards Brandon & Maggie.

      Memory lapse where something happens in between here and there that I can't quite remember.

      Now I'm in a "hip" restaurant, that had an entrance and exit through the kitchen, with Brandon and, who I think, is the wizard from "Your Highness". Somebody had kidnapped Maggie. I was stabbing the wizard guy in the neck with my car key so he'd send us back in time to rescue her. Blood everywhere. As we were leaving I had a mouthful of blood somehow and was spitting it at the really cute black waitress. We left through the kitchen area where I think I remember there being snow on the ground. I wake up.
