non-lucid

This is the first entry in my dream journal. It's extremely incomplete, since I already forgot almost everything.

I remember being on a bus back home, hearing music through a crappy mp4 player, I gave my younger brother for Christmas, and being annoyed by it. (I'm very demanding with sound quality). This bus is familiar to me since it's the only one that passes in my home location. Before I had a car I caught that Bus for almost 10 years to go from school to home.
The thing is that the Bus is totally different because it looks like a tourism one, and not the public transportation kind. I remember I recognized some people from my personal life and talked to them, but I can't remember what.

Suddenly the Bus stopped and the driver said there was a huge fire in a mountain range near me therefore he turned the bus to another road I didn't knew. In a moment we were in a highway I didn't recognized, and the Bus stopped near a huge steep hill made of sand and moss(weird). It last like 80º steep and I was really scared because it had an height of about 50 meters.
At this time I remember the group changed. Now they were friends of mine from the time I used to be in Scouts. Some were really scared but we started to climb. I reached the middle of the hill and slipped, falling to the ground hurting myself.

I decided I wanted to outline the hill instead of climbing it, so I started walking for a while. Some time after, I noticed I was in front of a poor, old village that I recognized from a previous dream, but didn't found that odd. Curiously a spotlight appeared pointing at me and I started to run so they couldn't detect me. It last very prison like. I believe this happened because I usually do some trek trips and sleep in protected places. In those trips we always try do stay away from forest guards.

Very strangely I went back to the base of the hill running away from that spotlight, canguru style. It was really weird.

And then my mother woke me up...

As I said previously, this is my first dream entry. I decided to start writing here thanks to a wonderful movie called The Waking Life that really influenced me.

I'm walking the streets of London at night in my awesome long coat, when I'm suddenly struck with the urge to break off a piece of a building. This I do, and it feels heavy in my arms as I carry it into a nearby library. There I find an excellent book on poker, which I tuck into my backpack along with the building fragment and take without checking out.

I false awaken into an apartment in Cincinnati. I wander down to the riverbank, where a festival has set up. Two massive swings are on either side of a roller coaster shaped like a snake and themed "The Garden of Eden." I choose to swing, and get massive air, clearing the top of the coaster as I flip in midair and throw the metal horns with my tongue sticking out.

Okay, I've had a dream where Ben Kasica from Skillet has sung before, but this one was even better!

I was at my grandma's house. Then suddenly, I wasn't. I was in my backyard! Ben walked up to me and started singing "Yours to Hold". His voice was so clear I was almost certain I wasn't dreaming (even though I was) . I looked at him and said " Ben you're a wonderful singer, why don't you sing in Skillet?" So he said to me "Im just too shy to sing in front of a crowd..." So I hugged him, and he put his arms around me when I said "But Ben, you're a great singer!! Your voice is so great, everyone in the world should hear you sing!" Ben smiled at me then and I smiled back. Then I woke up.

Woot!

12/26/10 Healing Dreams
Plans: I didn't really have any major plans when I fell asleep last night, Christmas was over, and I'd spent some time playing games on my new Xbox 360 Kinect, which actually does involve some exercise… and my body is sooooo not used to any kind of exercise that I went and tired myself after about an hour and a half of active gameplay… is that pathetic or what? So my main thought was to get some sleep, which I accomplished, but not much in the way of dream recall... a couple of fragments.

Holding My Last Breath
I am in a hospital, I am walking down the halls even though I am not sure why I am in the hospital. It's like I have forgotten so much, am I there to visit someone? Am I there as a patient? Damn, I wish I could remember something, I am wondering what is wrong with me when the idea I might be dreaming occurs to me… and I do a RC by pinching my nose. When I am still able to breathe, I realize that I am dreaming.

I look around the hospital hallway, trying to figure out where I am and what I should be doing there. I remember that I didn't have any specific goals for the night, so I am thinking that I must be there for some kind of purpose, since that is usually the case when I appear somewhere randomly. There are doctors everywhere, even what appear to be a couple of patients walking in the halls, but no clue as to why I am there. I look into one of the rooms and I see someone in there with severe burns, he doesn't look good at all. I glance around, then I go into the room and focus on a healing spell for him, the result is his burns quickly heal over. The man looks at me and says it's a miracle and I must be an angel of some kind, sent down to mend his wounds. His ranting and thanking me gets more attention than I want, and soon there are several doctors and nurses in there. One of the doctors seems very happy to see me, he asks if I have come to heal the Longbottoms some more, because there has been no further improvement since I had been there last time, so if it was supposed to continue on its own, something went wrong. I now know where I am, at least… I am obviously at St. Mungo's hospital in a Harry Potter world. And maybe I was there to help with healing Neville's parents, so I follow the doctor from the room and onto an elevator that goes to another location and then opens. The doctor leads me quickly down the hall to a room numbered 657.

Inside I see that Frank and Alice Longbottom are sitting in a pair of chairs right next to each other, though each one of them seems completely oblivious to the presence of the other one. They are both staring off into some version of infinity that only they can see. So I focus on using the song My Last Breath by Evanescence to heal the two of them, and it seems to be having an effect… it looks like they are actually focused on me instead of on some parallel world that might exist only in their minds… but then as soon as the song is over, they both slip away again. It seems like my attempt was an epic failure, though the doctor says that was a very good sign, as they have had absolutely no response to any external stimuli except for my song and Neville's visits… I wonder if maybe Neville could help with the healing, since they are already showing some reaction when Neville visits, the song would give them some more stimulation… and I have the idea that once they get free of the catatonic state, there is very little chance of sliding back into it. The hard part would be getting them to that state. So I tell the doctors that I will come back to do more later, and they thank me for trying again, and then I leave the room. I am walking down the hallway, fortunately there is no one around me when I wake.

Dear Diary
Or at least I think I wake up… I roll over in bed and give off a couple yawns, I am remembering a Harry Potter dream, I really should sit up and take a few notes. Or just grab my iPod touch and take a couple notes… or grab the notebook by my bed and jot a few notes. I know I need to take notes or I might end up forgetting the dream, but it is still a difficult task to talk myself into doing it when I just want to fall back to sleep. So I grab my iPod and type in a few notes to remind me of the trip to St. Mungo's to do more healing on Neville's parents. Then I hit save, and set it back on my waterbed bookcase before rolling over and falling back asleep.

Note: I didn't realize the second part of this dream was actually a dream and not me really waking up and journaling until I checked my iPod and found there were not any notes files saved… >.<

I've been both sick as a dog, and out of town. Dreams have been so crazy. At one point, I was nightmaring lucidly about the Saw movies, which I don't even watch (Saw 1-3, then gave up.), then woke into a higher layer non-lucid to find myself having sex with Jigsaw. Ew? Think this had something to do with seeing my rather useless brother-in-law. I think he fits the vic profile nicely.

Yes, you can nightmare in a lucid. It's like watching a scary movie of yourself: you're a spectator, not a participant. Yeesh.

There were a few others, but nothing as vivid as last night. That one broke into my reality for a short time. I was totally lucid in a dream of my hometown (Dream-world geography again!), and I figured that I'd have some fun in an antique/thrift shop by playing dress-up. I'm never as mature in dreams as I am in reality, but I'm much more fun. Unfortunately, there were no dressing rooms, and the outfits I had started to shrink as soon as I started walking around looking for one, so I figured that since I'm dreaming, it was alright for me to start changing there in the store in front of everyone. I got a couple of items on, then the proprietress appeared and told me that it was inappropriate to be changing clothes in the store and that Id have to leave.

I tried to reason with her that this was all a dream, so it didn't matter because she and everyone else were imaginary, but several of the other shoppers physically threw me out. Then a Gothic chick with short, fire-engine red hair and a low growly voice (I swear she was one of my old Harry Potter fanfic characters!) showed up and told me that the proprietress was very powerful and her friends were coming to beat me up for embarrassing her like that.

We ran all over my hometown trying to get away. I could have flown, and I knew it, but I didn't want to leave the girl who helped me. I was wondering how unreal they were since I couldn't control them, and was concerned for her well-being. Suddenly I was aware (watching, as if in a film again) that the proprietress was a sorceress, and to avenge herself on me she made my friend aware that she was a dream, and not "real."

She cursed us both that we would know reality. This didn't bother me, the real person, but suddenly the redhead started screaming and chanting that she wanted to know, see, hear, and live reality. She attacked me, trying to claw her way through me into the real world. When she hit me I found myself awake in my mother-in-law's spare room, yet in sleep paralysis. The dream redhead appeared as a lump in the blankets, completely non-humanoid yet I recognized her, and attacked again by biting onto my left breast and clinging on. I couldn't move to fight, being paralyzed, but I managed to get out the thought "HELP ME" aimed at my husband. He was sleeping next to me. Then the blanket-chomper vanished, only a blanket over my breast, and we were both awake. He is completely unaware of what happened, so I dunno if he helped or if I jerked and startled him awake.

But that freaked me out.

1) go into a building not a gym but has weird things to do like a playground lots of people training walk around a laser show? friends arrive I see them NBA, NS; NS asks me what I'm doing in ballpit I get out walk around with NBA and KB, KB asks to go see a movie NBA and I laugh at him say no way but then we walk by one I see popcorn, candy, etc. say hey, I actually do want to go let's go we walk down but I have to go to the bathroom walk in, press box at Fenway Park??

2) locker's gone, I wonder where it went, oh well, I walk into a room as normal, then look back, I should probably get my books, Mr. R is looking at me, I go up to him ask where my locker went he says I haven't been treating it properly, I say okay where are my books, he's actually Mr. W, I walk around finally go into auditorium everyone's facing the front I have to go way to the back last row see JT as well as JF? from 10th grade I'm in the last row by myself suddenly the violin player in the middle starts coughing and falls and dies suddenly everyone starts coughing it's the Black Plague!! they're all spitting up green stuff, I turn around and run as fast as I can try to get out of there I was lucky to be in last row, turn around, no one's following me, run down street toward's D's Cs bus stop, was I infected?

When my dream starts, I'm in what looks like a prison cell. The light is low and has an orange-ish tint to it, and the inside of my cell is dank and grimy. There is no furniture whatsoever in there. I'm in there with one other person, who I ask the question about our location. She tells me that we're in some sort of prison that's supposed to be containing some of the most powerful abilities in the world. Mine, I know, is that I can see the quickly upcoming future and am able to make a decision (either good, or bad) that will affect it to become what I want it to be. My cell mate does not tell me what hers is. Across from our cell is a cell containing a tall, lanky guy. She introduces him to me as being someone who can cancel out others' abilities. Apparently we're all wanted by some head mastermind so that he can gain control over the universe. However, none of us are wanting to be there.

I keep seeing people coming to visit our cells to talk to us. The thing about where we're at is that, behind the bars, our powers are mostly suppressed, so I can do nothing about this. My dream gets a little fuzzy around here until I somehow figure out how to work around the system. We plan an escape and as soon as my two friends and I make it out of our cells, I wake up from my dream.

I was at school, in some giant classroom. It was apparently a science class with Mrs. B. I was talking to NE and NI. They went to another part of the class, and I tagged along. Then we sat down and chatted. There was something to do with Avatar; either me or NI was painted blue, but I can't remember who. Mrs. B. was going to play some videos.

Suddenly we were all moving to some outdoor botanical garden. My mother was there for some reason. We walked out to the garden together.

---

I was with my mother and someone else. We were supposed to go to the beach. We were walking across the city, and running across these roads. I was scared that our J-walking would get us hit by a car eventually.

We made it to the beach. My mother set up a bunch of treats and this very steep little mini hill; I remember there being cookies. I thought it was really odd to be on the little hill though; it was really uncomfortable. KR was also supposed to be there, but apparently he went drinking with his friends.

---

I was at home. I was on the computer, and there were little pop up notification things on some of the icons on my dock. Apparently someone had left two voice messages for me on some products. Apparently I had wanted to purchase something for dreaming or from DA (I can't remember which one exactly). I was nervous because I didn't want my mother knowing that I wanted to buy them, and she might hear the message. Then it occurred to me that she would find it in the mail, even if she didn't know I ordered it. I decided to just try to call off the sale and ignore the notifications.

---

I was in some sort of motel room. It was apparently a school trip. I was with KA and some other girl who seemed quite annoying. On the other half of the room there was another random group of people that I didn't know.

There was a teacher in there, trying to get down all of our names. She also wanted to know where we were going to go for lunch. We said that we were going to go to Harvey's. Then KR and some others were there, and they complained and said that we shouldn't go there because they wanted the chicken all to themselves. I scoffed at them, and told them we weren't even going to order chicken.

---

I was at my old school. I got on the subway, but ended up back in the old neighborhood. I was wandering around because I kept losing things. Eventually I lost one of my boots. It was cold and snowy out, but I didn't feel it. I just wanted my boot back.

I met a group of guys along the way. They helped me find my boot. I was telling them that I was pissed because I was being so clumsy.

Merry Christmas!!!!! um,for yesterday

I can't remember much, only little bits of three dreams? Two could have possibly been the same

Dream 1

I'm not too sure where I am... a laboratory or a school? Anyway, I'm there with a few other DC and we're trying to stop this man who is middle-aged. He has created this machine, that kills people. It has a spinning blade on it and is made of metal. He uses it to cut people in half and into little pieces when he knocks them out and straps them onto the machine The DC's and I see him cut one man in half and we know we have to stop him but we don't know how! The blade is dark blue, rusty and serrated. The room it's in is a very clean white and outside are green fields.

Fragment
This might be part of the previous dream but I'm not sure. My other friends and I go outside. At first it is the girls and I, so that makes 4 people and we are half naked. We all have jeans on, though. We go outside and are talking and laughing. It's a sunny and warm day We sit outside, with our hands covering our boobs and sit in a circle talking. Then two of the lads come over and are naked. Completely naked. However nobody minds and they sit down too.
Then the girls and I take off our jeans and I have a bad feeling that my bum looks big.

Fragment
I'm taking part in some kind of sporting event that requires us to go in partners. A girl I used to know named Beth (she used to hit me and my other friends) grabs my arm, digging her nails in and says that we're going together. I push her off and push her down the steps and go with another friend, Amy. I'm furious at Beth.

Another fragment
I am a little white cat. All of my other friends are cats too and we're in this fair? At the fair are several houses that everybody goes into. I'm upset for some reason and we all go into this one little house. One of my friends who is a very big whtie cat is comforting me.

So, can't remember much sadly, but I think I enjoyed those dreams quite a bit! Eat loads of chocolate before bed and baileys. Went to bed long after my usual time

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning. Had a few dreams yesterday, but I was too hungover to be arsed to write them down haha. Last night was pretty cool, since I managed to re-enter a dream. A zombie/survival dream again, was awesome but weird.

05.00: Bedtime

13.30: Double dreams, zombies in a store
It's dark outside. I'm with two or three other people on the roof of a grocery store. There's a scaffold next to us, and some emergency exit stairs in metal. I run down the stairs and get to the bottom. There's an awful smell in the air. I spot the huge dark mass lying in the snow. It's some kind of dog, and I take a carpet of fur and put it next to the dog. Running back up, I wonder why it didn't attack us. A narrator voice tells me. "Even though the monster is incredibly strong, it has one weakness. When you use psychic powers on it once, it will obey" We start to lift up a metal hatch on the roof. It's all dark inside. I know what I need to get.

I wake up, and wonder if I should write the dream down, but I don't.

I'm inside the store. My sisters are there with me, and I think it was Felix. A strange sound, like a calling sound comes from a zombie woman standing nearby. She starts to walk towards me, and I jump around. She is VERY slow, and I got plenty of time to reload my gun (which is some kind of surringe/party bomb/toy gun thingy). I take away the cap which allows me to fire one shot. I aim it in her face and fire off a tiny blast of air and some water. It has no effect, but it all feels like a game. I look behind me and my sister has become one of them! She is walking too fast though. "Hey! You gotta slow down, you can't move that fast" I tell her. She complains a bit.

Dream skips. The store has been cleared. I'm with a few other guys now, Linus from work is one of them. I've packed my bag with all kinds of stuff, and I'm ready to leave. I climb up on the huge food storage to my level. One guy is ready to go to sleep and is already in his bed further away. I decide to stay for the night. The store is pretty messy, with ketchup on the floor and a crushed jar which I threw earlier. I remember the satisfying sound of glass shattering. I quote "Laserturken" for a while. Linus asks me why I even bother to go out if I don't have fun and dance or something. He mocks me for not wanting to go all the way to the city to party. I am given a drink. It's white russian. "I've already had like a litre of this tonight" I tell them, but I just chug it.

13.30: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 8½ hours

Supplements before bed: Lots of alcohol

That's it! The alcohol suppresses REM, which then rebounds if I sleep enough. Sadly I didn't sleep enough, but it will definitely rebound tonight! I will try some Calea out during a small WBTB tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can get lucid. Also the dream I had was completely random. I'm sure it was longer and more intricate than that though.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

non-dream / dream / lucid

Sonhei que estava indo para a casa do Vini. Chegando lá, me encontrei com a avó dele. Ela disse que eu deveria ter combinado essa visita com a mãe dele antes. Como não o fiz, disse que ela odeia bagunça, e que eu deveria deixar tudo organizado. Depois desse comentário, eu disse: "Vocês realmente não me conhecem".
Adentrei a casa e vi que Vini estava em um cômodo que tinha uma parede de vidro, e estava usando um computador. Estranhei isso, pois o computador dele fica no segundo andar, no seu quarto. Nada além disso, ele me viu e veio me cumprimentar. Sua mãe me viu e disse praticamente as mesmas coisas que a avó dela havia falado. Após um tempo, Amanda também apareceu na casa dele. Também achei isso estranho, mas nada além disso. Fizemos várias coisas e, em determinado momento, fomos para o quintal. Lá, simplesmente percebi que tudo era um sonho. Fiz o RC de trancar o nariz e funcionou. Olhei para minha namorada, mas não tive tempo de fazer nada, pois o sonho logo acabou.

12/25/2010 - Dream Fragment - Zombies

I dreamed that I was in an apartment complex with three other friends. We were looking for first aid kits throughout the run down complex. Unfortunately, every bathroom and first aid cabinet had already been raided.

I was woken up by a number of texts and phone calls this morning, as well, so I ended up shutting off my alarm and only wrote down this dream fragment, unfortunately. Hopefully I'll sleep better tonight!

Non-lucid dream, [Commentary made while awake]

[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from the night of December 11-12, 2010.]

[Fragment] I see a panoramic overview of the city of Austin, Texas. It's very bright, with lots of city lights and several brightly-lit casinos.

[Fragment] Two mascot characters, a monster and a yeti, are having an argument over where to find America on a globe.

[Longer dream begins here] I'm in the brown car with my mom. The car is in the parking lot of an Applebee's restaurant, which is in a shopping center. [The shopping center we were in looked nothing like any of the ones I know in real life.] I tell my mom that yes, I do actually want to wait there for Dad and go to dinner with him. We park the car in the space underneath a long van [or something like that] that is being held up off the ground by two other cars. I'm surprised that our car fits under there.

Dad arrives. We get out of the car and start walking toward the restaurant. [In this particular dream,] I have a second body and can switch from using one to using the other at will. As we're walking along the sidewalk in front of the other shops in the shopping center, I say to my parents, “Nobody's home, so I'm going to go pretend to be asleep.” When I stopped using the first body and switched to the second one, the first one had remained standing there near where we'd parked the car, staring blankly at nothing because there was no consciousness animating it. My plan is to switch back to the first body, lie down somewhere and make it look like I'm asleep so that no one else will figure out that I have two bodies, then switch back to the second one and carry on with what I was doing (going to dinner). As I walk back toward where I left the first one, I mentally debate whether it would be less illegal to (pretend to) sleep on the sidewalk, or in the front seat of the brown car. I know you're not allowed to sleep in parked cars on the street. [I thought the having-two-bodies thing was pretty darn cool. ]
