non-lucid

I'm watching the recording of two tourists in Japan visiting. It was night. I thought about how all the shops on this street were getting advertising from the video.

I was there suddenly. Normal people were walking around. Then out of nowhere there were these weird people wearing blue gliding through the air 15m above us and bouncing on the ground. They kept going up and down bouncing everywhere. People got scared.

I was suddenly holding the video camera and I aimed it around everywhere. When they touched someone they turned half into rockets then came back together and infected other people.

The Simpsons where there too. I started running down the street past everyone. People were arguing about cereal.

I went to the side and saw a huge drop off with a beach below. We were on a cliff.

Somehow the story in my dream changed for a few seconds and we were scouting a location for Channel 7 filming something. I had just come from a camp in my dream.
"Yes! See that beach?"
Just before this scene there was something about a cinema, but I forget There was also something about an ocean.
Just before the huge cliff drop there was a little square dug out of the edge so I climbed down into it. It was full of logs so I kind of slipped and grabbed onto the edge. I was hanging down with the beach below me about 30m away. I tried desperately to get back up.

Someone from a tv show on Channel 7 was there, but he wasn't real. I did have anything to grab onto to pull myself up so I grabbed onto this guy's shirt. It kind of ripped off and I heard a VoiceOver saying "You can see (blah blah) without his shirt on at 8:30 Tuesday on Channel 7" like an ad.

Suddenly there were two girls above me as I was still on the edge. They were arguing about cereal. I wanted them to help me but they said "Wow, carrots? They're for wimpy fat people" the other said "Yeh, and same with Special K!" (a kind of cereal which I don't eat)

I had a bag of Special K so I threw it up at them but they made me go further down the cliff. I tried to see where I could land, but there was just rocks underneath me. I also had the legs of Bart from the Simpsons.

They kept lowering me down and I could see Maggie hanging next to me. Then I dropped onto the beach finally, which was now only 3 metres down. Homer and Marge were suddenly there. I was facing the cliff, but not standing near it. Homer and Marge were in front of me and then 'infected' Maggie who suddenly flew/rocketed away into the distance. "Homer said something like "Ahh, she really flies fast doesn't she?"

The end.

Then I had a dream about zombies.
I was in this house and it was night, and there may have been other people. I can't remember all of it, but halfway through I'm on my own in the house, but with the police from the last dream who were in their car. Their car was on top of the stove. I went up to it and the woman inside woke up and suddenly got really big teeth and roared.
The guy inside the car fell out the other side, dead.

The woman came down and I smacked her in the face. She stumbled backwards into the dead guy who was a zombie too. He woke up and... *memory gap*

The end

It was night time on my driveway. My mum is watering plants and my dad is in the car with me. I say "Nah, this isn't a dream."
My dad says "How do you know? It could be,"
"No its not," and I think about how you know when you're awake when you really are awake.

Then police come up our driveway and say some things to us like we were in trouble.

End

Third sequence: this one was longer, but my recall only retained a fragment of the ending. The dream was some kind of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG; it was in slightly dated video game graphics and all the dialogue occurred in dialogue boxes Suikoden style. Some villain (who may or may not have been Shredder, who made an incidental appearance during the villain's escape) was disguised as Donatello. They go into a plain, empty bland rectangular room with wooden plank floors. On the fall wall near the corner there's a bay window. Someone whom I'm not able to recall enough to identify approaches the window, and is suddenly kidnapped as fake-Don reveals himself. He grabs the person, then runs to the picture window, where he teleports away (as the villain escapes, an image of Shredder is projected onto the window. Michaelangelo is devastated, but is comforted by Raphael.

The fourth sequence is another interesting and memorable one, for a handful of reasons. There were several subtle indications throughout the dream that in this particular dream I'm female. As it was, I was trying to infiltrate some kind of evil amusement park (thinking about it now, it's reminiscent of L4D2). At the lines to get in, I'm able to jump over the in order to sneak in. There's a direct passage in off to my right and up some stairs. It leads to an area just off one of the busy pathways in the park. There I met my contact, who happened to be Neil Patrick Harris, whom I was starstruck to see in an unusual, excitably girlish kind of way (subtle hint #1). We walked through the crowd as he explained my mission, but as we were walking I noticed another Neil Patrick Harris casually stroll by. I looked at the NPH who had been talking to me and suddenly realized he was a fake. He knew that I knew he was fake, so he pinned me to a wall and then proceeded to try to rape me. At this point (and I'm finding some more comic irony in how it reminds me of L4D2) the dream went third person, so while my gender in this dream may now be obvious looking back, what with the slim girlish figure, long blond hair tied back in a ponytail, breasts, and a vagina, keep in mind I was going by dream logic at the time so none of this seemed outlandishly apparent. I remember having that odd sort of rape victim psychological crisis where I was simultaneously scared and angry that I was about to be forced into sex against my will and slightly flattered that NPH wanted to have sex with me. Anyways, before it got particularly graphic the dream reset back to the beginning where I was a the line to get into the amusement park. This time, sneaking in I took a pathway to the left. It leads into a backroom/warehousey area. I realize I may have tripped some alarm or that somehow they knew where I was trying to sneak in, because a ways up ahead I could see several strangely dressed girls whom I identified as being with the amusement park's security. I'm able to disable most of them by stealth shooting a barrel that explodes and then a fire extinguisher, knocking them all out but one. The remaining girl looks around suspicious and confused, so I attempt to sneak by her. I make it about halfway through the area she's patrolling when she sees me. I immediately run forward, trying to find an exit while she gives chase. We go running for a little ways down a wide hallway, then up some stairs to a raised catwalk for a ways, then up another set of stairs to a higher catwalk where I find a door. I go through the door and close it behind me. I'm now on a platform jutting out from the building; there's nowhere to go but fall a few stories down. Fortunately, for whatever reason, there's a column of stacked wooden chairs a short distance away from the catwalk and I realize I can jump onto the chairs and then ride them slowly down as they break under me for a soft landing(!?), so that's what I do. I'm now in kind of dusty and sandy area that seems to be a seldom traveled passage around the outside of the park; I can hear music and crowds off in the distance and it's now dusk. Dream ends as I walk towards the amusement park.

The Wager
Clarity: 7/10
Importance:4/10
Sleep: Nap
Sleep Position: Right Side (Left Brain)

I'm driving with my boss, some bald guy in a cowboy hat, when we pull over because we're having problems with the truck. We stop in front of a hair dressing salon, and a friendly hair dresser takes a look under our hood. She identifies the problem, pointing out several plastic containers of yellow fluid underneath a cover plate, and says something like they've lost their acidity.

Luckily for us, she has just the thing to fix it. She opens the plate covering the fluid to reveal a barrel of yellow liquid. She spray and aerosol into the liquid, and it immediately begins to roil and bubble, turning a bright blue. The violent chemical reaction subsides, and the fluid goes back to yellow. She pours the rest of her can into the barrel, this time changing it back to the blue color it's supposed to be.

She then tells us the mechanic (now there's a garage in the building) has offered us a little wager. If the boss can guess how many needles are on a pine branch she shows us. She then informs us the mechanic has decided to sweeten the deal, saying he'll give us 245 dollar is the boss guesses it even remotely close to the actual number.

The boss and I discuss this wager in private, and he looks a lot like general Hammond from the original Stargate series. I inform him that the wager is for 245 dollars every week, but if he loses, he has to pay the mechanic every week. The boss thinks it over, especially if he looses, and says "That's 10-15% of what I make selling those creatures."

I now see the mechanic and a bunch of cowboyish looking guys in a rocky desert. One says "That's too easy! You've got a shiny silver target dead center", and others argue that it's not that easy a shot. I then see a small rectangular mirror hanging from a chain in front of a rocky outcrop of stone. The wager has morphed into if the boss can hit that mirror with a bow and arrow, and he's supposed to be a pretty good shot.

Next I'm leading the boss towards the target and the men. The boss is collared and and I'm holding a thick metal chain attached to the collar high in the air, to give the impression he's a mad dog. It's an entrance like from a wrestling match.

The phone rings and wakes me before the contest concludes.

1. I had two goldfish instead of just my IRL goldie, Aristotle. The second one was named Socrates. Socrates mysteriously dies, and Aristotle begins exhibiting the same symptoms. I then have a false-awakening, and note that 'Stotle is still okay, and Soc never existed. Aristotle grows bigger and bigger and turns into an Orca. Someone makes me a saddle and harness for him, and I learn that I can ride (and even fly) on my goldfish-turned-whale friend. Then there's something about a mall, a chandelier, and a shoot-em-up game gone awry.

2. Intimate time with The Boss from MGS3. Woke up in the middle of the dream.

3. During a barbecue party, my older brother accidentally summons an Elder Horror, and everyone gets dragged to an alternate dimension to be said horror's minions. New recruits look like anthropomorphic cherries, and get kicked around a lot. There are rules about what we can say or do, restrictions on leisure time (such as players only getting two turns at pool and then the game is over), and weightlifting sessions are mandatory. Aside from this, however, it's not so bad. Once we get promoted, we go back to our regular form, and the higher-ups are less strict. Procedure in the weight-room, however, gets a bit weirder - every day, someone different gets kicked out of the room, until it's just myself and a few others... including, oddly enough, Anthony Head, to whom I - against better judgment, hey it's dream logic - proclaim my fangirlness and end up hugging him. Then there's some subplot about a guy who manages to escape by turning into a dog.


(So I guess the moral of the story is, it's not so bad being the minion of an Elder Horror, so long as I get to hug my favorite actor in the end?)

Hit quite the jackpot on dreams this morning. This is made somewhat ironic in that I'm in the nadir of an annoying upper respiratory tract infection, so I didn't put any effort into dreaming for the night. Finally, since our alarm didn't go off this morning, I didn't have time to fully write these up in the 10 minutes I had to get ready and arrive at work. Also, splitting the rest into two entries to make room for plenty of tags.

Second sequence (note that this is #2 following the short sequence in the previous entry): I was driving in a car with my family again. We were turning onto University Drive from 19th avenue north. For some reason we were discussing Oblivion/Morrowind mods. We were apparently headed to the Fargodome for some reason. We parked and got out to go inside. Inside I spent most of my time at the food court there, ate a meal and loitered about. When my mom was ready to go we went out to the car and then pulled up to the entrance to wait for my dad and brother to come out. They came out just as I was getting impatient. As we turned back onto University Drive the dream transitioned into me physically playing in one of the mods we were discussing earlier (everything seemed real and not as though it looked like video game graphics). I enter some random house. As I walk in, a thin, thugish looking man comes to see who entered and meets me. Surveying the room, I notice he has a desperate-looking woman naked and tied down (I'm not sure if I realized it at the time, but I recognized after the fact that she strongly resembled my wife). Inferring that the man was about to rape her, I immediately slew the man. I turned and was about to leave without untying the woman when I figured I might as well not waste an opportunity and stripped down to have sex with her. At this point she didn't resist as though I was going to rape her, but she was very inviting and willing and quite turned on as well. It was very sensual and amazing sex; I entered her slowly and completely at first and then held it there, feeling her around me. She reached down to play with her clit as I held there, which was very erotic. After a short while we begin to have a good old aggressive, animalistic fuck.

Unfortunately it ended before it reached a climax. I have a reflex I've developed over the years that wakes me up from some sex dreams before they finish in order to avoid having to clean up the aftermath. This time it was mildly disappointing, but not in that it at least left me with the memory. Though the dream wasn't lucid, it is a memory I enjoy recalling and it's something I need to remember to perhaps emulate in lucid dreams in the future. It's also worth noting that my dream avatar is much thinner, allowing for some unrealistic actions during sex.

September 23, 2010

Asleep by 2am?

Beatles fragment
I recall there being some Beatles-related dream, but had a lot of difficulties with recall at the WBTB today. I recalled the dream fully when I woke up, and when I got out of bed to record it, it was already gone

WBTB at 5am.
Took two green tea extract caps, but have since found out my Co-op stuff has a very weak amount of EGCG in it Set my alarm for 6:40am and settled in for a WILD. Fell asleep at some point.

Pets fighting
Mum had a large white parrot and a tiny black budgie in a rabbit cage together. The budgie was doing it's best to piss off the parrot, by pulling on his wings and such. The parrot started trying to harm the budgie by pressing him into the wall of the cage with his beak. Mum got worried, so she held the parrot off while I got the budgie out of the cage.

I noticed mum had tied some string around the budgie's wings to prevent him from flying off, but I still held him protectively. I remember her saying his breed was called an anteater, because he's all black.

False awakening happened between these two dreams. It may have even been real, but I just remember waking up, and attempting to redo the WILD.

Music class
I was attending a music class with a kid. The teacher wrote a staff on the board with some sharp signs. She wrote some notes to a classical piece (she even called it "boring classical piece" or something like that) and told us we could figure out which notes came next By looking back and seeing which notes have been changed already, like a pattern. Not being very good at patterns, I racked my brain trying to see which note would be changed. I thought I had it, but the dream dissolved before I could hear the answer.

After this dream (ended via alarm), I thought that perhaps I hadn't woken up at all. It didn't feel like I had.

Back in bed...

Work dream
I was at this basement of a warehouse. I was with a co-worker, and she was taking off for food, but said she'd be back. Only, she never did come back. I had a lot of extra duties, since I was trying to run Dispatch from this new place I'd never been before.

I'm talking with this new field supervisor on the phone. We listen to some messages, and he hears that one of his mobile drivers scheduled to work tonight, left a message saying he can't work mobile anymore (just a few hours before his shift was supposed to start). This upset me. It' completely unfair of staff to do that (it's happened before IRL!). This guy hasn't outright quit, he just wants off mobile, but tell him to suck it up for another night. He's still responsible for this shift! We started reviewing a list of people on his team currently, who (in my opinion) were trustworthy staff, and who have been fickle.

I'm out at a family gathering with Jack and some family of his (all DC's). There's a girl who's never been there before, and says something about ghosts, and we all take in a breath, because the kitchen, in particular, has seen some haunted activity in seances past. I say we should try the ouija, but it needs to be fast, since I leave in 10 minutes. I'm throwing something in the trash, and my arm seizes up and feels like it is stuck to the cabinet door. I manage to break away from the paralysis, and I remain silent about what happened. However, when no one is looking, I check to see if the door was sticky (it wasn't) and tried to mimic the same arm motion to induce the paralysis again (I couldn't).

Back at work, I'm talking with someone in HR. She's praising me because the work I do at Dispatch has made her job so much easier. I'm outwardly very humble, but inwardly, I know that I've been rocking my site. She mentions needing to send me back up to the hangar in Airdrie again (the place I started out my dream). I tell her I'm not the best choice, because I don't have a vehicle. I look at the schedules and see that the Field Supervisor shift has been extended, but it falls an hour short of the start of my shift. The HR-lady tells me to give it a shot and ask him to drive me, anyways. It's the new F/S (his name appears as "Isk" on the schedule, but I call him Isaac), so I'm not sure that I can appeal to him, since we don't really know each other yet.

Making some changes so updating has been sparse. I'll get some work done this weekend

Jungle, Alligator, Run (non-lucid)

I am in jungle with BroX, cousin, and co-worker. We are trying to find our way home and come to big jungle gym. We are climbing around and get chased by a gator. I toss BroX a hammer and he stuns. We escape on a four wheeler but leave co-worker behind. We can he him scream as the gator catches up to him.

We then run into some indigenous people and they aren't happy and also chase us but we get away on the four wheeler.

I have been dropped off at a barn in America. All the people are wearing dungarees. There is a car hanging from the ceiling. Then, my brother alerts me that these are, in fact, zombies and we must get out of there and into the car as fast as possible without running as they switch to zombie mode when they detect high amounts of movement. We make it safely and drive to the moor down the road. We drive back and forth four times, and on the last time, I loose my shoe, a pink pump with white frills and ask him to pick it up later. We then go to the barn, only with the whole family and they all look around too, but one of us sets off zombie mode and they all start to walk towards us. We all run to the car, now a white, open-topped rocket one and climb in. There is very little leg room, but I manage to just climb in and slam the door. My brother is the last to come in and we drive off as fast as possible. I feel my hands on the edge of the car, holding myself in. I see the zombies in the car behind, looking angry, and I scream to mum "They're catching up with us!" she shouts back, "Even if they do, what are they going to do about it? We're in a car!" And I notice they go.
We drive past what I think to be Blackpool and I see a circle of light zoom around in the air with a trail following behind it. I tell my dad and he looks but doesn't see it. It doesn't matter though, because two more appear to take the place of the first. There is a pier below it and dad says "I wish we were in Blackpool tonight." and we go on. We end up at a restaurant with my best friend. While we are waiting to be seated I spot a lady and she offers me some of her meringue. We sit down, but either the meringue must have been drugged or the lights were (oddly) but I fall asleep without knowing it.
The woman must have been working for my abductors, because I wake up away from my family, on a beach. There is a man sitting at my head and he comforts me as I wake up. I ask where I am and he says that I have been taken from my family to learn magic. I cry a lot because I miss my family and my school. He sits on the beach and I am in the water, which is oddly deep (Water always is in my dreams) as it is so close to the shore and he tells me about walking on water, and I could try it now if I wanted. I climb out and onto the stone pier. I see a girl that I recognise run across the water and I am impressed. Also, I notice how dark the water is there compared to where I was floating in, which was a light blue, and blacker shapes; seaweed, moving and swaying. I don't think I am ready to try this yet, I am too afraid of the deep water.
My master grants me a trip back to my old family and I see my mum crying over my empty bedroom and I sob too. I wake up.

I remember being in a fire fight in a huge expansive library. I was running around and shooting almost anything that wasn't me. I started out with dual Uzi submachine guns and I took out a couple of guys as I headed down the hallway. I made a made a left at the end of the hall and made another. As I headed up the other hall, there was one more guy left at the opposite end of the library. We were running at each other, but we were in separate aisles. It was too hard to get a clear shot from where I was at, and there was a open doorway that we would both inevitably cross. He crossed the hallway first, and then as soon as I got near it we were both firing at each other. I dove towards opening and rotated my body towards the direction of the enemy and let off the last remaining shots. At this point everything was moving in slow motion like a Max Payne shoot dodge. When I hit the ground I was behind a wall and out of ammo. I threw down both guns, and pulled out a M-16 out of nowhere. I crouched as low as I could and got as close to the door opening I could. The guy came sprinting into the room I was in, and the last thing he saw was the big grin I had on my face as I emptied the clip into him.

12-case of Stella Artois was on sale. How can one resist? Anyway, that's why recall was poor this night.

0237: D. I'm in a PE class. Reminds me of my elementary school but I'm an adult. I'm vacuuming leaves off the grassy field. The vacuum is strapped to my back like a leaf blower. The class can't leave until I've vacuumed all the leaves. (Am I crafting cheesy puns in my dreams?) The teacher and students are getting impatient with me.

0603: D. I'm in a movie-like scene. I'm with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. But their character names are Richard and something that starts with O. The scene is a like a cluttered warehouse or junk yard. It's a shootout. Our side is split into three groups taking cover behind barrels and junk. My view jumps between the three groups like a movie. We coordinate our attack with walkie talkies. We spring up and surprise the bad guys. They surrender.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID NIGHTLY ADVENTURE

Hey all. I'm noticing great progress in my dream recall! I don't know if it's because of the B6 vitamin I'm taking but I did recall two dreams after just 6 hours of sleep, and two more after sleeping a few more hours. This night I also had some funny hallucinations or whatever you call them.

I just read the MILD chat from last night with PercyLucid. And it was cool! I will write down in my workbook what I think about before bed, and what's on my mind during the day. I've already achieved a few MILDs these last weeks, and I got one tonight!

9.00: Upcoming party
I'm outside of my appartment, and I'm talking to a guy I know. The subject is how people react when you take command, and how you speak with authority. "Some people are born alpha males" I say and he agrees. "Some people you can boss around, some people will boss you around" The subject goes on for a couple of minutes and it feels so right! Like everything makes sense. After the talk we walk towards some stairs and see a few girls standing in them. We all greet and apparently it's his friends. We stay there for a pretty long time, while smoking. One girl smokes four cigarettes and I tell her that her tongue will be black soon. She sticks it out and it's indeed black! I take out my cellphone to take a picture, but it's not enough light out for it to be a good picture. We start walking back towards my appartment and the guy I know asks if it's okay to party in my appartment. Like smoke weed. I tell him that I don't want them to do that, but they can party. I get a fake memory of a bike being thrown down from my balcony at an earlier party. I tell them not to do that.

9.20: Kill or be killed
I'm running through a cornfield, and I'm being hunted by something. It's like I'm inside a huge warehouse and I'm sticking to the wall, where a path has been made by some people ahead of me, ofcourse I'm at the back! I turn around and face the thing hunting and me, and knock an arrow on my bow. Just as I knock the arrow, a tiger jumps at me and I shoot. Missing the tiger which crashes into me. Luckily I had time to turn my bow sideways and aim it towards its mouth. I let the bow go and run for my life, taking a turn. The tiger struggles with the bow for a second or two then comes rushing back at me. I don't get very far, perhaps a few meters before he's on me again. This time I grab its mouth and put two fingers in its nose, and with a tight grib, I get it to be still. "Shoot it!" I yell and two arrows strike the wall just above the head of the tiger. I push it upwards with all my might and some arrows hit it this time. A small girl in primitive clothing jumps up on the tiger, and draws a stone dagger and plunges it into its skull. The tiger stops struggling and collapse in my arms. I let it go and look around. Suddenly some kind of monkey comes out of nowhere and he looks alot like a human. For some reason he just falls and turn into a big pile of rotten flesh and pus. I look around and the entire field turns into these strange monkey-men and they all die. I can see some people up on a platform and I draw the conclusion that they're the ones responsible. One of them comes down and starts running towards us. I pick up some flesh from the ground and I throw it at him. It hits the ground at his feet and he dies instantly.

10.30: Action movie turning into a fieldtrip MILD
I'm on the side of a big truck and I'm hanging on for dear life. The guy driving is insane and we're going atleast 100km/h. I have a glock in one hand and I empty the magazine into the windshield, with no effect. It's made out of bullet proof glass. The guy inside shows me his teeth in an evil grin, and he looks alot like John Travolta. I look to the side to see where we're going and we're heading straight for a big warehouse. I look back at the guy driving and he's holding a gun of his own to his head now. A second before impact he pulls the trigger. The truck crashes into the building and I fly head first into the metal wall, and bounce off it. I somehow know it's a dream, and even though I fly perhaps twenty meters, I manage to land on my feet. Everyone in my class comes up to me and we all take a smoking break. One girl takes a seat on my stomach and we talk some about thieves. "I fucking hate people stealing other people's stuff!" I say. Suddenly I hear/see this voice, telling us that North and South is blue, and East and West is red. This somehow triggers a memory of my DJ (the colors being red for lucid and blue for dream) and I get the feeling it's Alex saying it all. I get lucid, but decide to just sit there for a while and see what happens. Suddenly the dream starts to fade. I wake up by my alarm clock going off. EAT S**T YOU SON OF A B****!

13.00 Drugs and driving
I'm in a car with my brother's friend. It's dark outside and it's raining heavily. We're outside of the local hospital and I'm holding some drugs he just handed me. "You sure this will make my better?" I ask and he nods. The drug is in a glass vial and it's red. I bite off the small plastic cap keeping the liquid in and I swallow it all. We drive off and head for my appartment. "Do you take any performance enhancers?" I ask and he says yes. "But you're not aggressive at all" I say. "Well I don't do the heavy stuff" he tells me and lets me off outside of my appartment. The dream changes somehow and I'm on a go-cart. I feel the urge to go somewhere and I see an open door infront of me in the building. I ride through the door and I see another one ahead of me across the hall I just entered. I drive through several doors and when I look back, I can see dirty track marks on the floor. I decide it's time to get out of there and go out the backdoor. The backyard is filled with ancient, large, grey stone slabs and I climb them for a while. I end up on the edge of a huge ravine. Ahead of me is an enormous stone wall, with a temple in it. The gap isn't big luckily and is definitely jumpable. I jump it and enter the temple. The dream changes and I'm with my family inside of a really old house.

Nightly Adventures
*I keep poking my girlfriend in the side until she wakes up. "What the hell? Wtf?" I ask her. She gets all confused, and I go back to sleep.

*My snowboard hanging on the wall is falling down! I jump up and grab it. "Damn it's stuck hard" I think for myself. "Well, gotta take it down to be safe" I jerk it loose and put it on the floor. My girlfriend ask me what I'm doing. I'm fully awake and know EXACTLY what I'm doing! I pee then go back to bed.

Amount of sleep: 10 hours

Food before sleep: Nothing special, 50 mg B6 at 9.20 though.

That's it! Fun dreams. I've been trying to clear my mind every time I'm going to sleep, and telling myself to get a lucid dream. Everytime I wake up during the morning, I tell myself I will dream. Especially at 9.00 when my gf goes up for work.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Somehow I remember this a while after I woke up it all came rushing back.
I remember the start to be at my aunts house trying to find patches to quit smoking and I don't smoke... Anyways I asked if I could go to the store to buy them. She said no to me and this is my aunt, not my Mom so that was also weird.
Then I went outside to see snow everywhere and all around my car. I started to walk to the store when my Dad appeared and interrupted my mission to get these patches(I believe i forgot about the patches at this point because later I never drove near a store). So i walked back with him and shoveled the snow around my car. I drove down the driveway which was around a kilometer long right to a street cutting across it diagonally. I stopped for the sign, and suddenly a snowmobile drives across the intersection and does a backflip without going off a jump in like 10 feet.
Basically this:


In ten feet. Epic.
What happened next was even weirder as somehow I was now the guy driving the snowmobile down the narrow main street. There was no lapse in time or apparent relocation of my body, so I assume my brain invented false memories to allow this to make sense.
After that weird instant, I noticed dozens of cops chillin on the sides of the road, suddenly noticing my presence and a pursuit began between me and a jeep(military) with some woman cop in the back. She had a bull horn and was yelling and screaming through it telling me to pull over. I was annoyed seeing as I did nothing wrong. I stopped, then they pulled off and raced down the main street out of sight.
Then, the dream skipped and I had stopped to enter the basement of some building. There were a bunch of kids in the basement and one asshole with a baseball bat threatening to beat them up. I walked over and he advanced on me. I stayed still, and held my ground. I didn't move and told him that he won't do shit with that bat, after much staring and intimidation. He stopped being tough, so I rallied the kids (16 years old-ish) to beat this ass up and I remember the advance of people towards the guy with the bat, but the dream skipped again.

I think I woke up for a few seconds and then went back to sleep to find myself in a room like my dorm here at school. The room was a huge, tall ceilinged brick walled white room. I noticed a stove that was on(weird) but then everything changed and my Dad and Sister were now in front of me in a line to some counter. There were lots of old geezers standing around waiting too. My Dad said something and then busted out a cigar. He took a toot off of it then I got it somehow. I smoked it like crazy and it was a delicious, amazing cigar. After I smoked it for a while it went out and the dreams ended altogether.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

I had a sleepless night (work reasons) on the 15th Sep (about 36 hours without sleeping), so I went to bed early in the evening of the 16th to compensate.
I have something important to tell about what I’ve experienced on these days when I was sick, traveling and not sleeping much. During these days, although dream recall was kind of shitty, waking life was incredible, because many of the dreams I had dreamt a few days before manifested during this time and led me to strange places. I will write about it later.

Dream within a dream
I was looking at a bus – probably to get inside it, when in front of my eyes this image started to form - a guru I know that passed away years ago was sitting in front of me. He had his face painted and had a hat and ornaments. The vision slowly became more clear and detailed until I became part of it – I had passed into another dream (and when it ended I went back to the same place of the previous dream).
This guru was surrounded by lamas and I sat in front of him. I didn’t know what he was doing, some kind of ritual I could not follow. But in the end he gets up – he is gigantic, I mean he was 2 mts tall when he was alive and I am now sitting at his feet. He approached me, leaned forward and with a big warm smile he told me something like this wasn’t really a dream and then he told me something important about inspiration that unfortunately I can’t remember well. It was a very clear and profound message that did inspire me for something, but I can’t recall. Then the vision started to fade and I was back in the initial dream, confused if I was actually awake having a vision or dreaming within a dream.

Holographic advertising
I was in the future, walking the street and being bombarded by 3D holographic advertisement – if you think advertising now is intrusive... wait to see that one! Not only this advertisement was 3D, if you decided to interact with it, it would actually become semi-solid and you could touch the holographic objects, sense their texture, shape and weight. It was also possible to manipulate these holograms on this particular advertising, so just for fun I transformed this object that was being announced into a pair of boobs and put them in the hands of my boyfriend who was by my side. I laughed, then I picked it up again and designed a heart-shaped box, with a beautiful reticulated lid. I gave it to him again and as he grabbed it, inside it appeared a symbolic representation of whatever he keeps in the centre of his own heart. For me this was like a revelation and I thought that this would be a great instrument to find out what’s inside people’s hearts – made a mental note to myself on this “extraction” technique. Of course, by now I was lucid.

Kame hames batlle
I was inside a garage in some villa at dusk when I realise I am dreaming. Made some stunts, like jumping from wall to wall, to celebrate the return of lucid! Then decided to get out and fly somewhere. As I hover houses and trees deciding what to do, I see on the horizon this Dragonball character – I think it’s Cell [did a search on the web] and he is preparing to kame hame me. This settled my priorities immediately: I tried to create a fireball in my hands (which I have failed to do so far). I see only a tiny spark arising and just as if it was a fire, I blow it to make it bigger. That’s the only way I manage to do it and I throw the fireball at him. He throws one at me, which I can easily get away from. But he immediately throws another and another and I am still struggling to fire another one, so I decide I am not ready for this fight and run away. Actually I wake up briefly.


Entering Nighthawk’s dream
I force myself into dream again and immediately enter a new dream. On this dream I am just awaking at my grandma’s house. I was apparently sharing the bed with my cousin C. who is still asleep. I go out for a few seconds and when I come back in the room, the bed is now smaller and already tide up (no cousin sleeping on it) and I realise it’s a dream. The lucidity is faint so I rub my hands and look at all details, trying to vivify it. I lose and gain lucidity a few times until it becomes strong. Then I decide I’ll use it to meet Nighthawk. I close the bedroom door and wish to enter his dream by crossing the door.
When I open the door I see a different house on the other side. I enter it. The look is totally different – while my dream was whitish and cold, this one is yellowish and warm. I step on a corridor and right in front there’s an open door to another division. I see his mother and lots of family members gathered around, listening to her. I believe it’s some kind of family reunion. Then I go to my right and I find another room, a quiet room where I see Nighthawk sitting on a couch with his grandmother. I have this impression that I’ve seen this dream before...
He is sitting with her and it is clear that she is a safe harbour, a big source of love and care. I feel bad to interrupt his nice dream, but I need to say I’m there, although very gently not to disturb too much. I pass quietly through the back of the couch and as I do it, his grandma says “Is it you xxxx (my name)?” I am caught by surprise, how does she know my name? But then who looks back it is actually him. I never get to see her face and I realise she is just his DC and is expressing his own words. He looked at me, with his eyes full of emotion but also a bit confused. Like, this is a recurrent dream and I’m not usually part of it, so what the hell was I doing there?
I get to his side, I bend over against the couch side arm and gently ask him if he is lucid. He seems confused, looks sleepy or dizzy. I hold his hand, he is warm and I am freezing cold. I cuddle his arm gently. And then he says a bit spaced out “Oh, we kissed, didn’t we?” He was slowly connecting the dots, but the dream was faint and losing sense rapidly. He was still looking very sleepy and he lay down on the sofa (the granny was now gone) and the dream started to disappear. I didn’t lose lucidity but I was kicked out to another dream and I found myself in the middle of a very busy street, somewhere in some Mediterranean country, almost being hit by the traffic. I decided to try to go meet him again on some other dream of his, and wished it as I tried to teleport me there, with no success. Anyway I knew it was time to wake up and got to work, so I called it a day (or a night ).
