non-lucid

Had a vivid, long dream about a list of words, one of them being vacuum. This transitioned into a dark city scene with a high train raised above everything else.

Had a vivid dream right before waking about being at a beach with F. We were looking at a sandstone or just time-worn statue of Cleopatra which was very beautiful. There was a youngish Asian couple (early-mid 30's) who were standing next to the statue, petting a fish. There was a gigantic fish which the man was petting near the statue, and it swam away. F gave me two rings to hold and went to get a drink from a stand.

Dream 461 A - Getting Sick On Teeth
I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was outdoors in a completely unknown area. It started with just one tooth being really loose and so I started jiggling it about to see what was going on. Eventually, I ended up pulling the tooth out and I thought to myself “Gosh! I’ve actually lost a tooth! Now I’m going to be a toothless terror!”. There wasn’t much time to reflect though as all of a sudden, all the other teeth came loose.

Then wham! They all fell at once. I spat most of them out but as there was so many in my mouth, I accidentally ended up swallowing a couple. I tried not to but I swallowed them and when they got down, I was so sickly grossed out that I felt like chundering; thank goodness I never did though. I then woke up.

Dream 461 B - The Long Way To Hospital
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, it was a dream that once again took place at my dwelling called the fortress. A lady wanted to go up to the hospital area in order to see a sick patient. From the third floor, I told her to take the elevator to the eighth floor (the top one being the ninth floor) but I couldn’t do this myself. I was going to go the long way and meet her there, taking all the escalators up.

Apparently I had these two cups of drinks, one in each hand, and so found it hard to board the escalator. Eventually, I had found a way and so was able to make it to the fourth floor where all the recreation stuff was. Yes, I looked to the side and noticed that I ran a bowling alley in the building. There was some guy that had also come along with me and then I found myself to be speaking to JSa as well. I had to put everything down on the floor and spent ages rearranging it so I could take the next escalator. After finally fitting everything onto myself and heading towards the next escalator, I woke up.

Dream 460 A - Saving A Sleepwalker
I don’t remember much about this dream. From what I can remember, it was pitch black in the middle of the night, the early hours of the morning to be exact. I remember being at the bottom of the stairs, weirdly my thoughts were still conscious but my actions were oblivious. As I opened the front door and went into the driveway, I was imagining like I was entering into the swamp of Spyro The Eternal Night. Then as I was actually on the driveway, fitting music played from the actual soundtrack but I also felt this sense of mysterious danger lurking about.

Eventually, there was real danger in sight. A fire had broken out, bright orange, in the distance and I could hear sounds just like when the creatures dropped the bombs on the temple in the PS2 version of the game. I was scared out of my wits and my heart was pulsing very fast but once again, I couldn’t control my movement. I forgot to mention that when I was still down at the bottom of the stairs, I actually was aware of the fact that I was sleepwalking.

Back to the current scene of the dream, I was freaking out big time and even felt at one stage like my life was about to end. Just as I was about to let out a scream, I literally only got in an initial gasp, when I was suddenly and swiftly grabbed, made to face the opposite direction, and pulled towards the house by an invisible force. All of a sudden, the urge to scream was gone and my heart pulse had slowed right down. As I was still standing on the pavement, the invisible energy showed itself as a very feint hologram… It was 18-Volt in his Game and Wario cover art appearance.

He was shown in a hovering, sitting position, and so I knew what this meant. I was drawn to his lap and actually manoeuvred by the dream to sit on it. I can’t exactly describe it, it’s like the dream suspended me in mid-air, having me float redundantly in slow motion and then suddenly very quickly plonked me down onto him rather than the usual where I would climb up and seat myself. He then became invisible again and I couldn’t feel his lap or his arms, I now only perceived to be floating again but in that sitting position.

Then he moved off. The front door swung open by itself and 18-Volt’s energy rushed me inside, flying me up the stairs at a rapid pace. Then the dream lapsed forward in time a bit. 18-Volt was now in his human form but as it was pitch black inside the house, I couldn’t see much in regards to colour. Once his energy had slotted me back into bed, that’s when he became human and gently placed the bed sheets to be just under my chin, patting them down on each side. The scene ended there.

It was still pitch black in the house but now I was awake again and in the kitchen, talking to my brother in there. I was actually telling him the story of how I apparently found out I was sleepwalking earlier. I said something along the lines of “Whatever happened out there was absolutely crazy and I thought I was going to die. I was bloomin’ sleepwalking! But then let me tell you this… This guy appears, he whips me up, and takes me straight back to bed. He tucked me in. Like I can’t believe he actually rescued me”. As I was talking, I made sure not to reveal any trait of 18-Volt’s identity to my brother. The dream ended after I had finished telling my story.

Dream 460 B - Prize Winning Artist
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, it was this completely unknown area. It felt like some stage and me and these other people were going through the lines of a script similar to the story of The Wizard of Oz. I was surprised in the dream that I was able to remember my lines really well and was playing my part of Dorothy to a high standard. Unfortunately though, one of the guys had cut me off saying that they wanted to stop there, so I was slightly cut because I was having so much fun.

The next scene appeared to be in a school environment but once again, the surroundings were unknown. Apparently there was this sort of substance that when you painted it onto a watchband, it would make a really interesting pattern. I watched a few girls painting their watchbands and so was able to witness the effect of the paint medium. I then decided to try it myself but at first, I thought nothing was happening. “Oh come on...”, I thought as I then shook the watchband.

After shaking the watchband though, something did happen and it was more than I expected. The colour started to bleed like expected but half way though, the watchband turned into this piece of paper and the art that was produced was absolutely and ridiculously phenomenal. It actually looked like the painting of some professional artist in real life. I then flipped the paper over and noticed that there was art on the other side too!

My year six teacher came over and looked really amazed and what I had done. He said something to me but I forgot what it was. He then took my artwork to grade it but I didn’t like what he was doing. He was writing comments and the score all over it in pen and so I told him that it wouldn’t look good if I was to hang it up. The mark I got for the artwork was 60 out of 60. He then flipped the paper over to mark the other piece and he seemed to listen to me. He wrote in a very small corner only, marking it 40 out of 40.

There was a small section of the next scene where I showed my mum but then dream went to another scene. I was now at this area at night time which seemed like an unknown railway station. I also had four friends with me that don’t exist in real life. Apparently we all wanted to catch a train but while we were waiting for the train, I wanted to find Dreamy WB to show her my award winning pieces of art.

I called for Dreamy WB but there was no response and my friends, two girls and two boys, had looks on their faces like we weren’t going to get lucky any time soon. I decided that we would explore the area to go and find her. I went in one direction with two friends, one boy and one girl, and the other two friends went in the opposite direction. As I walked down the concrete stairs outside, I kept shouting to the dreamscape “Dreamy WB!” with my friends following and turning their heads to see if they could see her. No matter how many times I tried, there was still nothing.

Soon the thought came to me though that the train was bound to leave soon and we were far away from the platform. So without giving any notice to my friends, I changed the direction of calling to 18-Volt. I seemed to wander a bit faster than my friends now and so soon ended up by myself. Yelling for 18-Volt didn’t seem as stressful as the tone was for Dreamy WB. All I ended up doing was looking up the stairs and said half way between speaking and yelling, “18-Volt, if you’re there, can you take us back to the main platform?”.

As I continued to walk back up the stairs, the most amazing thing happened. I could see a shadow casting over my step, created by the pole lights and so I stopped. I slowly looked up and there was 18-Volt standing on the next step, looking right back down at me. He was once again in his Game and Wario cover art appearance and this time, he was even just wearing his singlet and shorts. I was actually so freaked out in this scene due to a number of factors.

First of all, he actually looked like a real human, like I could actually see real flesh on him as well as his glasses being out of real blue plastic frames and then the lenses… Oh the lenses, accurately red and green of course… Everything about him was so, freaking real! Secondly, he was actually full-on staring at me and not saying anything, additionally having this constant stern look on his face that gave him the complexion of a criminal thug supported by his big, buff body. He was very scary to look at.

For almost what seemed like a minute, he was staring at me very seriously and I was staring back at him nervously, I couldn’t see through his glasses to see what exactly his eyeballs were doing. I do know for a fact though that it seemed like he was staring right into my soul and from a very dominating position. This time, I could actually also smell the scent of African culture wafting off him and I could hear him slightly snorting each time he breathed outwards.

For the first time in a dream, I actually started to perceive a negative energy coming off 18-Volt. As each second passed, my muscles became more tense, I became more guarded in my stance, and I was becoming a nervous wreck. He must have finally noticed the mess I was becoming as he all of a sudden, out of nowhere, broke out into a really wide and pleasant closed mouth smile. To my surprise, the weight just automatically lifted off my shoulders and every instance of negative energy I had gained before was now gone.

That sense of familiar warmth and security had now returned. So now I prompted 18-Volt, reminding him to take me back to the platform. He made a physical gesture at me, which I believed he was telling me to wait for my friends. While waiting, I inched closer to 18-Volt on my step and started leaning on him, randomly examining each fine thread of cotton on his singlet and still thinking to myself “Geez, how on Earth is he real?”.

Eventually, my four friends came walking up and so 18-Volt started things off by extending his left arm out. He scooped me up and I was placed right against his body. After that, he started picking up each of my friends; I was thinking to myself, “Your arm’s not big enough to fit all four of them in”. Apparently I was wrong and I was amazed; he put two behind me and then another two at the back, being pushed in by the crook of his arm. As he proceeded to carry us all up the stairs, the dream faded out and so I woke up.

Dream 460 C - A Favour For A Favour
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, it was in some completely unknown area, appearing to be a mix of a shopping centre and somewhat of a house. I was in the house part of this complex with the lady, a complete stranger, planning to host some social movie event in which was apparently her place. I forgot what she said completely but she wanted me to go into the shopping centre part and recruit some guests, this one woman in particular.

I made a mental note that I had to be back by 7:00 PM because that’s when the movie would start. As I’m leaving the house, I look at my brother and signal to him, asking if he had already brought the guests over, and he said no, so I was clear to go. I found the lady who was off in this weird little kitchen at the other side of the shopping centre area. I asked her about coming to the house but then she said she wanted me to do something for her. She wanted me to supposedly teach her how to cook something using dry ingredients only. I said that it wasn’t possible but she kept demanding that it be done. I told her to at least add water into the mix if she didn’t want to add anything else.

My mind was telling me that it was nearly 7:00 PM and so I had to whisk the lady away from her cooking and get her out into the main part of the shopping centre. As I looked over towards the escalators, I could see random characters on it; I forgot what they looked like and when they reached the top, they would get trapped and then sucked in. I cried out to Dreamy WB, asking her to come and save them but nothing happened.

It was getting really late and not much time was left and I immediately changed over to 18-Volt, calling out and asking him to take us up back to the house. In the meantime, while I was waiting for him, I opened up what seemed to be my techniques journal and also where I write everything under the sun. In this journal entry, it seemed that I was using a lot of cuss words for some reason and they weren’t necessarily too pleasant either, it did include the Lord’s name, I am not going to specify what the phrase was. The dream had also converted the pen ink into some permanent orange coloured typed font.

Eventually, 18-Volt appeared and interestingly, he first of all seemed to have intentions to sort out my apparent cussing problem. He slowly crept up behind me and had a read at what I had written, he then put a finger on the start of the F word and rubbed it, in which he ended up smudging the F and turning it into another letter. Once I turned around and noticed him, he pulled me aside to speak to me. He had the appearance like in 460 A and B but was wearing a lavender business shirt and black business trousers. He whispered at me in a polite tone, I forgot what he said exactly but he was basically telling me to stop cussing.

He then got this petrified look on his face like he was now scared that I was going to get mad at him. I reassured 18-Volt and said to him “No, that’s fine. Thanks for doing that” as I stuck my thumb up and nodded at him. As he then proceeded to stack me and then the lady into his arm, like in 460 B, I woke up.

Dream No. 459 - A Very Harsh Assessor

I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in the library of Killester College when I all of sudden saw a teacher, that doesn’t exist in real life, rushing out of one of the back rooms. Much to extreme awkwardness, he stated that he had to rush because he felt like he was going to have diarrhoea. Before he got too far, I yelled, pointing towards the exit door, “18-Volt! Please! Go over there and help him! You need to stay with him for at least 15 to 20 minutes!”, I ended up giving long instructions but I forgot the whole line. I then felt 18-Volt’s energy zip past me and catch onto the teacher as he went out of sight.

I then wondered what I was doing myself. I saw these ladies in the area where the tall bookshelves were and so I went over to interact with them. It wasn’t even a few seconds of talking when this old lady dressed all in white, including an actual white aura around her, came up to me and interrupted. She mentioned something along the lines of something religious or celestial but at the same time, I felt quite uncomfortable with her presence and her imposing herself on me. I told her that for anyone new to have a major relationship with me, they had to sit a test. She kept complaining and demanding to be with me and so I pretended to be in her favour. I told her that it was originally 15 minutes reading time and 2 hours writing time but I would give her 20 minutes reading time and 2 and a half hours writing time.

Eventually, the lady left and I felt a sense of relief that I could be myself again. The other ladies were going to start talking to me again but I now wanted to look for Dreamy WB. I started off by calling for Dreamy WB in the library but even after a few attempts, there was no sign of her. I continued my search into the corridor but there still wasn’t any luck. I then ended up wondering into the ladies bathroom which was bigger than any of the bathrooms at Killester in real life and it looked rather more like a public bathroom in a shopping centre.

At first, I thought I got unlucky again but then the person that was supposedly Dreamy WB, with ginger hair though, actually speed-walked in at a frantic pace. She was rushing to go to the bathroom but I just had to speak to her and so I begged her to stop. As much as she wanted to go, she did stop but she didn’t look very pleased and rather had this stern, harsh look about her. I spoke to her in a stressed tone and told her about what happened with the old lady back in the library. I said to Dreamy WB, “Can you please facilitate the test?”. I then told her more details about the lady and what she did and said in a tone of urgency, “I want her to fail”.

What happened next is that I actually started crying and that’s when Dreamy WB’s harsh look had turned into a look of genuine concern and compassion as she went in to hug me for a lengthy amount of time. The dream showed us hugging from a few different angles. From one of the angles, I noticed that I was wearing jeans in this dream and they were the exact same ones as Dreamy WB was wearing. We were also both wearing the exact same navy blue top.

The dream then moved onto the next scene which appeared to be in some random car park at day time, the road looking like it had just been under some heavy rain. I was driving my mum’s car but then it looked different to how it does in real life. My grandma was in the seat next to me and was telling me what to do. She spoke English but it was hearing her with an Australian accent. She was telling me to drive to certain areas or park the car in a certain way… It actually felt like I was doing an on-road driving test.

My grandma wanted me to park in this certain section of the kerb but I could never seem to get the car in the exact. I either couldn’t accelerate properly or the brakes wouldn’t work and I would stop way past the parking point. This happened a lot of times and I ended up stopping in the same area but not I was meant to stop. Eventually, my grandma said to drive to another area and we were going to try something else. Once again, the brakes weren’t working and so instead, I stuck my foot out the side of the car to stop it. I crashed front-on into the kerb though and was shaking my head as I said to myself “If Dreamy WB was here, she’d fail me”. The dream then ended.

Dream No. 458 - Separated Sections

Dream 458 A - The Year Twelve Conundrum
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, it was Friday and I was in morning homeroom. Apparently my family had a holiday planned to Loch Sport from Monday to Wednesday which meant that I would miss out on all year 12 farewell events which were on Monday and Tuesday… My last opportunity to say goodbye to everyone was today.

I was telling everyone under the sun but most importantly, I was looking for WB. She must have known as she walked over from the year 11 area and showed up at my classroom. She gave me a hug and then I said I wanted to take some pictures with her. We went over to the window of the classroom and weirdly used its reflection as an enhancement for our photos, I can’t exactly explain how it worked. My teacher Ms Ko. saw what was happening and asked why I was doing what I was doing. I told her that today was my last day.

Later on in the dream, it was that time in-between classes, I was supposed to have music next. At first, I thought was heading to the music rooms seamlessly, just like the other students were. Only after a while, I found myself to be endlessly walking around campus and eventually confirmed myself to be lost. At first, I thought about calling Dreamy WB and asking her to take me to class but then I thought to myself, “Hang on a sec, if the other students heard me calling for Dreamy WB, they’d think I’m weird”, because they know WB.

Instead, I decided to call for 18-Volt. I still walked around aimlessly as I looked up into the sky and yelled “18-Volt! 18-Volt!”. I could distinctly remember my voice in this dream, my speech appeared to have some heavy slang and “Aussieness” at times, even so it sounded like I was calling out “18-Voawh!” with some of my attempts. Regardless of how I sounded, I was successful as eventually, this piece of paper slowly came down, swinging downwards in a heavy side-to-side motion.

For a second, I thought the piece of paper was going to miss me and land on a roof instead but it changed direction and landed right in-front of me on the ground. I looked to see what it was and it was actually a print-out of 18-Volt in his WarioWare Gold appearance but his skin was of a darker shade and his hair had a wine-red tinge to it. I knew he still wasn’t physically there though, so there would still be potential for him to physically manifest into the dream.

I realised though that I needed to go to the bathroom and so I said to the piece of paper, “Hang on 18-Volt, I’ll be back, I just need to quickly go to the bathroom” and then I rushed off. As I was walking into the bathroom and trying to find a cubicle, I said to myself, using all the willpower possible to ensure it didn’t happen, “I hope 18-Volt doesn’t decide to appear in the ladies bathroom”. Even as I was doing my business, I actually felt nervous that 18-Volt could appear at any minute, being an embarrassment to a few of the female population.

Thankfully, he didn’t appear in the ladies bathroom at all but he didn’t seem to appear in any other area of the school either. Rather, I continued walking and suddenly knew my way back to the music rooms. The dream then changed scenes but there was a transition to link some concepts; I have forgotten what that transition was.

I was not at my house when I decided to put on my winter uniform even though I wasn’t going to school. Rather, my family were going to my other grandparents’ house for a visit. When we were there my parents started being really mean to me. I forgot exactly what they did to me but there were saying a lot of nasty stuff and intimidating me. At some points, I felt mental cues to call for Dreamy WB to come and deal with them but I never actually got to doing this.

A fair while into the scene, my parents were getting really bad and so I actually went to go and assess my battle strategy. I opened up this book which had all the rules and laws for how I battle my parents in-dream. At the front was a contents page listed in alphabetical order and interestingly, “Dreamy WB” was in a large portion of the book. I can remember that the book said she was mentioned in pages 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 and 13. The next most popular topic in the contents page was “Dream Guide” which I think was on pages 5, 8 and 13.

Earlier in the scene, I thought it may not have been necessary to wear my school winter uniform but in the part of the scene where I had the book open, I thought differently. I now thought to myself, sighing, “Thank God I’m wearing the winter uniform because there’s been so much going on”. I believed the winter uniform to represent the tougher side of me, giving me confidence in my appearance and ability. I can’t remember anything else about this dream.

Dream 458 B - Your Brother Is Home
This dream appeared to be very confusing as a false awakening. I was in my bedroom when my dad walked in and said something to me but I forgot what it was. Later, I was in the sitting room when my mum came and spoke to me. Only, she didn’t speak to me like a normal person. Rather, she made all these cute, exaggerated grinning faces at me like I was some little toddler and then she said things to me like “Look! You’re nice brother’s home!”. I couldn’t have felt anymore awkward.

There was more in this dream but the scenes were very messy and hard to put into a logical sequence, so that’s all I can remember for this dream.

Non-lucid fragment:
Some guy wanting me to have sex with him, I told him I didn't want to, and he insisted about it, and I told him I'd made that mistake before and I wasn't going to treat my partner (H) that way again. I remember telling him to ask H if he'd wanted to have sex with him and then at some other point in the dream I remember meeting up with H.

The dream took place in some unknown dream-generated location. It was day, the light and the sky were yellow/orange and there were rock cliffs and wide ravines. The rock was warm colours too.

lix. 26th of October (date of this post)

Non-lucid fragment:
Something about being flexible enough to inspect my bottom; Was trying to identify the cause of some pain. For context, in waking life I've been having pain in that area for quite some time but it comes and goes, likely part of my condition.

Non-lucid dream:
I remember driving a truck from outside its cabin, around a roundabout some several times trying to figure out where I was supposed to be going. There was some halloween party at some castle and the truck had supplies I was going to deliver. Busy traffic at this roundabout, was constantly worried about causing an accident, but not so worried because I was on the truck and not in a car.

Transition.

In a fancy hotel/penthouse-like place. Me and H were walking toward a door, carrying some stuff. We were expected. This was the personal penthouse of some old Pioneer Corp executive. We were bringing some gear to demo to this guy and I think he was curious about us bringing in stuff this old.

I was carrying one of the very heavy power-amps but it seemed exceptionally light and maybe a bit too small; still, I was very careful putting it down on a glass table and H was bringing in some not-too-big speakers that would go on top of a table too. We got it all set up after a bit of faffing around but the Japanese executive didn't seem to mind. There was another man, a fat white guy with some beard and long-ish hair, who looked a bit like a hippie and maybe had a Hawaiian shirt.

Then they asked us what we were going to play on the sound system and I can't remember what were our first thoughts, something classical? Then someone or H said the Matrix soundtrack, and I said "yeah that'll work". The Japanese man seemed satisfied enough with that choice and he had given us a choice after all.

I remember the furniture all being wood, in a light-ish stain; sort of orange but very highly waxed or varnished.

Some sort of transition, all of a sudden watching some version of the World of Warcraft film (which I haven't watched in waking life), and I remember thinking and commenting how bad some details looked. The story was all over the place, with King Terenas and his son Arthas being underwater and Arthas trying to murder his father with a long blade and laughing underwater. Arthas' hair was black, rather than blonde in the dream.

Then there was some sort of Alliance siege on an underground naval barricade.

I don't remember enough details to describe the scene and it was all a bit messy to be honest; for most of it my perspective was directly within the "film".

Dream No. 457 - Separated Sections

Dream 457 A - Stay In The Procession
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in this unknown area and was on the way to some sort of nursing home. I clearly remember walking in a line and talking to 9-Volt who was behind me. I forgot what I said to him at the start but at some stage, he started running, catching up but then I think he wanted to get in-front of me. I kindly explained to 9-Volt “You’ve got to stay in the order of the procession”. So then 9-Volt went back to the back of the line.

The dream scene then changed to where we were actually walking in the nursing home. Although the order of the line was the same, the line wasn’t as uniform anymore and some members were walking next to each other. I was walking through the nursing home and 9-Volt was behind me but also next to me; it felt like I was looking after him in this dream. I was then wondering to myself whether there had to be any compulsory lift usage in the place. The staff member ended up saying yes but eventually, I found the most obvious stairwell and thought “you liar”. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

Dream 457 B - The Honey Badger
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, it was this completely unknown area and the main character of the scene was Nick Cummins from The Bachelor Australia 2018. It was in this beautiful parkland with a big lake in the centre but the lake wasn’t filled with water, rather, it was filled with actual honey and there was Nick, seen swimming in it.

Later on in the dream, it was suggested that Channel 10 Australia produced a fused Bachelor and Bachelorette all at one. So both Nick Cummins and Ali Oetjen were on the show. I forgot what happened after this.

Dream 456 A - Birthday Gifts From Aunty
my house and she had some gifts for me as it was a few days after my birthday. She gave me a t-shirt out of some sort of synthetic material as well as a Minnie Mouse themed cardigan and some perfume as well.

Later on in the dream, my dad and I were driving towards the suburb where my uncle and aunty live in real life. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

Dream 455 A - Wannabe Tour Guide
I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was wandering around the grounds of Camelot Rise Primary School but I was wearing my high school summer uniform. At first, it was just primary students but then Killester students were coming over for a visit. As soon as they showed up, I was super excited that to tell them that this is my primary school.

I remember one of the first girls I told was JLy but she didn’t seem to care and rather looked somewhat mad at me. Some girls I can also remember telling were the twins RCo and MCo. I can’t remember much else about this dream.

Dream 455 B - I Think You Need A Dream Guide
I don’t remember much about this dream. From what I can remember, I was talking to my parents and they told me about some scenario that I had experienced. I said to my mum, something like, “Although you don’t like them, I reckon you should get a dream guide”. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

Dream No. 454 - Chanson D'Amour

I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in this unknown double story house and there was this young lady singing the French song called Chanson D’Amour for someone’s wedding. She had such a beautiful voice but at the same time, I was jealous because I knew the song and so I wanted to sing it. When I came up and spoke to the lady, she said she was quite happy for me to sing some of the song.

Inside the house, the backing track played and I sang to it, although I did accidentally muck up one line of words but I recovered quickly. Then after that, I sang along with the lady; her voice faced down the stairs so the people on the bottom storey could hear and I sung it so the people on the top storey could here. After that, the press arrived, saying that they wanted to do an interview but it was only meant for the lady and not me. I understood this as she was the one initially hired to do the music.

The dream then prompted my to invite my dream guides over to join the rest of family and friends for lunch. Apparently, my mind had stated that Dreamy WB was already with me and so I just had to call Murray and 18-Volt on the mobile phone, so I went downstairs and outside to do that. The dream was then back upstairs and we were sitting at a table of 10 or 12. 6 to 8 were my brother and his friends and the 4 at the top end of the table were me and my dream guides.

18-Volt sat next to me, his appearance being realistic, exactly the same as he appeared back in Dream No. 430. Dreamy WB sat across from me and she wore her alternative black dress with an asymmetrical afro. Murray sat next to Dreamy WB and across from 18-Volt and was in his Sly 2/3 appearance. After a while of chatting to Dreamy WB, Murray and 18-Volt, the dream ended.

I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was having my birthday party at some unknown place.

Dream 452 A - The Freak Light Show (Nightmare!)
The dream started off with me saying goodbye to my grandma as she went over to the hospital for her specialist appointment. Meanwhile, I started to walk around my TAFE campus. At first, it just seemed like a normal day. I was in Building W where my accounting friends were and so I was going to say hello to a few people. I ended up going to one of the bathrooms and seeing one of the TAFE teachers, KHa, on bathroom duty? This isn’t a kids’ school. Apparently for people whom she though were in the bathroom for too long, she would tell them to get out. She encouraged me to try and so I did. She didn’t like the method I used though and so suggested I use a more harsh and demanding tone, so indeed, I demanded a man to get out of his cubicle.

I was then outside and this stranger Asian man was talking to me but not in a good way. I forgot what he was saying but he was teasing me and bullying me. As I was walking away from him and across an open grassed area, I made mention of who my dream guides were, saying that my dream guides are Dreamy WB and 18-Volt. I then just had a few moments of thought to myself and wished that they were here to help me through all this kerfuffle.

Later on in the dream, I was on the opposite side of the campus where Building A was. That’s when I apparently was made conscious of some sort of warning that the world was coming to an end. There was going to be some lightning and the sun would be positioned completely out of place. It’s when I was right at the farthest end of the campus that all the weird events started to show. I was really worried and so thought I had to head back to Building W straight away for some shelter. On my way back though, the lightning got worse and worse. This wasn’t thunder but rather it was some freak light show with all these psychedelic colours flashing and swirling around everywhere. With it was this really loud, uncomfortable zapping static noise. I was now absolutely scared and was starting to lose my mind.

Just as building W was in sight, the sun started to move really quickly and the dream said it was going westwards. The light and noise was also really bad now as well, enough to make you have a fit. When I looked over at building W, the bricks were oddly a dark grey colour and the windows were also a creepy colour from the lights as well. As I was on the footpath right in-front of the building, I started to scream. I now actually felt like I was going to die and that my soul was about to leave my body. I also noticed that I was wearing a really bright red cardigan which I mentally signified as a colour of danger. After a massive episode of squealing, I woke up.

Dream 452 B - Odd Shops
I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, my parents and I were driving to a distorted version of the suburbs close to the main city airport. We ended up stopping at some shops but weirdly, we drove into a skinny underground pedestrian passage with the car. It’s when we were underground that we got out of the car and then went on the skinny, distorted escalators into the main part of the shopping centre.

There weren’t many shops in this shopping centre but there was one stall in the middle of the mall that I was very interested in seeing; it had all the video plush toys like in real life game stores. My mum, dad and I continued walking through the mall and I wanted to have a look at more shops. My dad said we didn’t have time though and that I could come back during the week with just mum. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

Dream 452 C - Just Look At Least
I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, my mum and I were at the local private hospital but I forgot what we were doing there. In real life, the hospital is 2 floors but in the dream it was 10 floors. Closer to the end of the dream, I was standing right in front of the door to an elevator and all my mum wanted me to do is look at it for a while and I cooperatively agreed. I thought to myself, “I should tell 18-Volt about this”. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

Created Thursday 25 October 2018

Got a brief DILD, a fragment, and a long dream to note.

Scrap Group 1
Flying around town during daytime, going south through a local street. I go at the edge of the street, when I start thinking over just what circumstances would allow me to fly in the first place. Cue lucidity. I only managed to fly across before the dream collapsed.

Playing a 3D Mario game. This was far darker in tone, and had a lot more going on screen at a time. There was a painful segment in a castle where I was required to get hurt and collect power-ups repeatedly to survive. I managed to clear the game, but got a rather bittersweet ending that involved most of the extended cast and worlds dying off.

Dream 1 - Poacher Mansion Raid Collateral

The visuals were a bit dim. I was the young leader of a traditional warrior tribe in western Africa, one of the last few of such groups in the world. Dressed in hides, feathers, and bone, armed with spears, axes, and daggers, me and four other tribesmen set out to raid a mansion, a known hideout for poachers. A "foreigner" also joined us, a ranger from the local forest. Unlike the rest of us, he was dressed in a green shirt, khakis, and hiking boots, and was armed with an old shotgun. Our mission was to infiltrate the mansion, find the enemy leader, and capture or (if necessary) kill him.

My warriors set out at twilight. From the cover of the forest, we soon arrived at the mansion's entrance. The place was isolated from the rest of civilization, which might've explained the lax security. Our group crept around the entrance all the way to the backdoor. Once inside, we paced up a nearby stairway. We head up two levels to a small room, when we heard someone passing through another stairway all the way across. The other warriors prepared themselves besides that entryway, while the ranger and I waited head on. For a brief moment, I, as myself, took a moment to reflect on the nature of violence...

Our enemy was approaching. We were ready to pounce. The figure steps out of the entryway. "Stop!", the ranger yelled suddenly. Ahead of us was a man with a grey shirt and cargo pants, the typical outfit for poachers. And yet, the now confused man and the ranger talked to each other as if they recognized one another, speaking in a Western tongue (which, to the tribesmen and I, sounded like complete gibberish). Eventually, the ranger explained that this man was actually a law enforcer going undercover. It seemed our intrusion would compromise the detective's assignment. As such, I agreed to save the raid for another time, if under protest. The agent saw us out the backdoor, and took his leave.

Still, I wasn't quite satisfied. I had us all sneak around to the front, if only to see what we were dealing with. Then, through a window on the side of the building, we spotted a large gathering of poachers, about 30 of them, all lounging around, or perhaps in some kind of group meeting. I simply observed in the shadows for a while, trying to familiarize myself with each of them. Among the most outspoken of the bunch was an older light skinned African. Maybe a lieutenant? At the time, most seemed to lack conventional weapons, and none had anything larger than a pistol.

But, it seemed I made a terrible mistake: the poachers also collected living exotic animals from all over the globe. This was made readily apparent when, from out a corner, charged a grizzly bear. With shields and spears drawn, we held our ground. The bear, in turn, stood up, ready to swipe. The perfect moment to attack. As me and three others distracted it with our shields, another warrior made an expert thrust right in the beast's jugular. We then circled around, avoiding its frenzied reprisal. Within a span of thirty seconds, the creature could no longer defend itself. A few jabs at the back of its head finally did it in.

Just then, a poacher peeked out from a side door. Acting quickly, I hurled my axe at him, planting it right between his eyes. Unfortunately, this instantly alerted the entire compound. Enemies were now flooding towards us. Warrior or not, there was no way we could take on thirty at once. We retreated as fast as we could, and we actually got a good lead on our enemies. But, as we pressed on, one of our warriors had been fatally wounded. Although he'd the willpower to keep up, and possibly survive the chase, there was still no way to save him afterwards. He opted instead to face the pursuers head on, if only to buy time...

The chase continued throughout the wilderness. Then, in a clearing, my group stumbled into an entire school's computer lab, completely out in the open. Such a discovery paralyzed us. There was nowhere else to turn, yet we did not want to involve innocents into our conflict. Woefully, the poachers didn't have the same idea. They fired into the area heedlessly. Once they'd closed in, those madmen knowingly butchered anyone in their way, adults and children alike. At that point, I was sure fighting back would accomplish nothing, only delay the inevitable for everyone. Calling out to my men, I commanded them to rescue anyone they can then retreat. I myself took hold of a small girl in a school uniform, no older than seven years, too frozen in panic to even move. Abandoning my heavier armaments, I hauled her out of the site. Guilt was
quickly weighing in on me...

Don't recall how this ended.

Morning of October 25, 2018. Thursday.

Dream #: 18,938-02. Reading time (optimized): 2 min. Readability score: 83.



In late morning, I find myself in a big barn (in an unknown location) that serves as a recording studio for the Beatles. There is much sound equipment on hay bales and the barn floor, such as big amplifiers and mixing consoles, but I do not see any musical instruments. There are a few unfamiliar men present, one being a producer, another, a sound engineer.

While a man is checking a track, there is an unusual drum fill where the snare audio reverses at least twice. The man is puzzled and asks Paul McCartney what that was, but he does not reply. A different “drum fill” is heard, but it turns out to be someone knocking on the barn door. (This scene is ambiguous for two reasons, one, a door knock would not have reverse audio and two, the sound came from the equipment.)

A man comes in with a tiger that belongs to John Lennon’s wife (Cynthia Powell). He pets it for a short time. There is no sense of danger.

Later, there is an unknown man with a Bainbridge livestock prod. He taps the tiger with it on the rump, and John and the man with the tiger slowly leave the barn. They seem cheerful. Next, the man uses the prod on some farm animals. He touches the rump of a horse with it to get it to move to the corner of the barn. The horse seems annoyed but goes where the man wants him to go.

I do not see any of the Beatles at this point and decide to leave the barn. I go around to the back and see a young version of Zsuzsanna, who is about eight years old. However, my real-life identity is not extant in this dream, and so my dream self does not recall who she is. There is a cage adjacent to the back of the barn. There are at least three brown-mantled tamarins in the cage, a mother and two babies. Zsuzsanna is sitting on the ground watching them. She does not speak. I hold the paw of the mother tamarin, stroking the fur on the back of its “hand.” It seems tame.

Later, I get up and go back into the barn, which is now empty and full of hundreds of flies that start buzzing in my face. The air is thick with them, and they are loud. I soon decide to leave the barn and slowly wake after I walk back out. As I wake, I realize that the illusion of the flies was a distortion of the sound of the fan and its air on my face (from the foot of the bed).

---

Two other dreams came before this, one of sending many DVDs over time to a member of the dream journal website (a long-term male poster). The other related to capturing each instrument from the Beatles’ “Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!” to use virtual versions (mostly on keyboards) for a live cover.
