non-lucid

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 ).

Chase
Me and 3 others are trying to escape this group of men who want to kill us. We’re on shallow waters (ocean shoreline, I think), it’s foggy and they are on the beach trying to spot us. They see us as we are getting close to a boat anchored there. They start shooting as we get inside the boat, but they are fast and before we manage to turn the boat engine on, they also get to the boat. We hide and decide to split up and go in different directions. We later gather on land and follow a road with a stone wall by our right side. From the top of this wall fall amazing huge hanging plants with red flower bunches and for moments I forget about the danger I was running from and just feel captivated by the alien beauty of this place.

Strange pet
I am carrying a cute pet that is making a lot of noise. He is so tiny and gets lost inside my clothes. I have to undress my pants very gently, trying not to squeeze or squash him. I find him in there, he is a bit wet, I dry him up, I cuddle him, he looks like a fury ping-pong ball.

Retro building, horny guys and my cat
I am on a building, kind of retro looking, I think on the 2nd floor. My cat is roaming around the room I am in. I even let him go outside the door, although at a certain point I wonder if the front of the building is open and go down there to check (so the cat doesn’t run away). As I go downstairs I find this intermediate floor where there’s a kind of floating stage. I try to figure out what it is but then just jump from there to ground floor. I realise I’m wearing my sexy red pyjama and land in one of two tables where 2 groups of guys are gathered. As I land there graciously, I make this pose of defiant sexy warrior and this has the unintended effect that the guys feel aroused and want to jump on me. I just have time to run to another room and lock me inside. The door has windows and they see me there and try hard to get inside. I realise they will do so eventually but decide not be afraid. [slight feeling I am dreaming] When they finally come inside and harass me, by ignoring them, they just fade away.
Then I conclude the front door was really open and by then my cat is really gone outside. [what an obsession I have for the cat] Then as I wish him to come back a bunch of other cats enter the building, but not my cat. Then I decide to practice detachment and think that for sure he is well and that I should learn to let go. And if something bad happens to him I should not feel guilty, that’s just life.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

I have been sick, which totally knocked out my dream recollection for almost a week. Then I had to travel to Belgium and slowly recovered my dreams but had no possibility to write them down on dreamviews. Still, I have a lot to tell: I accomplished the monthly tasks of September, among other personal achievements. Will try to publish these past 10 days' dreams in slots, not to spam the DJ page.


23:45 GMT – Sleep

Body-guarding
I save a lady twice. First someone puts her on a truck over some train tracks and I just get her out at the last minute. Later we’re on a boat and I see a guy approaching her with a gun on his hand. He’s someone she knows and she trust him but I sound the alarm and just avert another murder attempt.

Incinerating a landscape
I’m hovering some natural landscape with a big lake or sea and there’s some nasty stuff contaminating the waters. I’m shooting beams from my hands into land and water that blow up the whole thing. I see it catching fire, feel very disturbed with this destruction but I know that it’s for a greater good.

5:30 GMT

Burning attachments
My house was on top of some cliff and there was really bad storm going on, landslides and so on. The house broke into pieces, little by little and we lost everything. First I cried for the loss, but then I focused on the fact that we (me and family) were still alive and that was the most precious possession, so I started feeling this comfy feeling of peace of mind and liberation.
I walk to a nearby house that is still standing, with the few possessions I managed to rescue and inside I find this guy watching TV as if nothing happened. I feel he is responsible for what happened, I ask him why and despite already having felt inner peace, right now I feel an anger arising and I attack him. He is totally unaffected as if my punches don’t even touch him. At the same time I feel this mix of anger and attraction to him. He finally speaks and with much sorrow in his eyes he says my pain and anger are destroying him and then he transforms into a kind of androgynous fairy in dark clothes which slowly freezes like a block of ice. I realise my anger is killing him and I then feel compassion and love and slowly it unfreezes from that state. I then feel immerse in a sea of loving kindness and detachment, I transform. I now have a helmet and flamethrowers in my hands and with a bizarre floating dance, we both throw fire at the rest of this house and possessions saved and feel totally liberated as I watch them burn.

6:30 GMT

Artistic kid
I see these amazing drawings of a kid – he makes beautiful nudes – and I want to know more about him. Then I see his life from above (as a movie) and see him in highschool, hanging around with his friends. Nothing really interesting, he’s just a kid with talent – and I think, there are so many out there!

Harassment
I am taking a shower at my mom’s place and as I come out of the bathtub my uncle C. enters the bathroom. I feel a bit surprised and upset, I just had time to pull a towel and cover myself. What is he doing here? He is wearing a monk’s robes but he is also hitting on me. I try to avoid him but it’s not easy, he corners me. Luckily my aunt also comes and gives me an opportunity to escape. Then there’s a shift in the dream. I pass into a city landscape and think I’m now in another dream and got rid of him, but he followed me here. He is just behind me, trying to catch me again but by then I am lucid and decide to fly away to leave him behind. I fly a little bit and see this gorgeous cityscape – really lovely, large sidewalks, monumental buildings and bridges, a long garden with red flower carpet. As I hover the flower carpet I lose the dream and wake up.

7:45 GMT – wake up

Had a short, aimless dream wherein I was mostly showing various random patients around Sanford South University. Especially 4C, which can seem labyrinthine if you get lost easily.

The giant farmer who eats all. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Two decent dreams this night.

Second:

I was playing a new Zelda game in my room. I think I was playing this game over the Nintendo DSi. Suddenly, I was involved in the game. During the entire dream, it switched from first to third person. I was in a big room. The walls were dark, like steel but rotten. The place looked kinda creepy. I could hear drops of water from far away. The air was stale. This place was like a round tower. Escalators would go around the tower (from the inside) and there was a pit in the middle.

I felt curious about the middle of this odd room. i decided to jump head on the pit. I got to a different room. All the walls were like made of glass. There was a pool with a huge whirlpool in the middle. I heard from a voice that I reached a secret place. There were swimming contest with the Zora and a lot of prices. I was advised that on Saturdays there was a giant farmer that would eat anyone who approached this place. While I was there, it was empty. I could not hear a single sound but the water. I looked at the pool and felt like I could jump in. However, I realized that I just started the game and I had no Iron boots (to be able to sink) so I felt I was not going to be able to dive. While I was looking at the pool, I saw like a red card floating around.

I went to another room and I meet with a Psychic. I was happy I found a Psychic and I wanted to talk with her. The way to talk with her was very odd. I needed to use my eloquence with words through a screen. The psychic told me, "You want to meet with me to stay away from the farmer... it is Saturday already" I realized it was indeed Saturday, however, I turned and the pool was still empty. I told the Psychic I just wanted to meet her. I needed to use pre-made messages from the game. I saw a message that said, "Come one baby. Use your third eye and guess the MEGA millions for me so I get tons of $$$ and (a picture of a diamond) thanks to you" I knew that was not the message I wanted to say. However, for some reason it showed and when I tried to cancel it, it was sent. I saw a word that said, "Bad" I saw next an image of a female psychic with a cell phone in her right hand and a sad face.

I was bothered for what happened. I went to another room but it was empty. I went back to the room where the pool was. I could see there was a farmer several times bigger than the pool. Only half of his legs were inside the pool. He wore a yellow hat, red shirt and blue trousers. He looked like a classic farmer and he was huge. I knew I had to walk through him. Suddenly, Link from Zelda appeared from nowhere. We ran towards the farmer and he tried to grab us. The room switched and it became a maze. It had bright white lights and the walls were black. The walls switched several times while we were trying to avoid the farmer. He almost grabbed me a few times, but I was able to scape. A few guys with business professional uniform spawned and tried to help the farmer (the farmer was still inside the pool., but his arms were like 5 feet long)

I knew there was a teleport that would save us from being eating. The farmer grabbed me but Link saved me somehow. We ran and we got to a corner, to a safe room. There was a small square filled with sand. We stood there and we knew we were going to teleport.

We appeared in the inital room (the one in the tower) and I waited for a prize. I told link it sucked so much that we did not get a heart container after such a difficult task. We beated the farmer that ate all and we did not get rewarded.

Suddenly, I was myself in the room, playing my DS. I realized it was so late. It was 02:30 am so I decided to go to bed. I woke up.

Missed Dream Signs:
- I was playing videogames. I am so busy lately that I never play videogames.
- The whole dream itself was hilarious and surreal.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Investigate the odd world I was in.

I can't get a bargain sale! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Two decent dreams this night.

First:

I was in a home and I needed to change to go out. For some reason, a guy got very mad with me. I was waiting for a friend to meet other two. I was going to visit two friends, however, none of this frame came to our appointment so I went alone all by myself to a Theme Park. I used a portal to get to this place. The theme park was indoors and it had a few roller coasters.

I teleported to other place and I visited the restroom. It was a big clean restroom. It did not smell very good though. I exited the restroom and I went to a place were I was going to find bargains. This place was also indoors and I found several small kiosk stores. There was a big announcement that said, "All gone forever" I was happy as I was sure I was going to find awesome prices.

I really wanted to buy some bargain so I went to one of these kiosk. There was a guy in front of me who bought a scale. Really good price. He also grabbed a big toy truck with several little cars like glued to it. I thought it was cool as a gift for some kid. When it was my turn, there was a popped soccer ball for a few cents. It had no use so I decided to pass.

I teleported home to see my wife. I had a conversation with her over the cell phone and I teleported once more. I was in this house again and I needed to chance. I was changing my pants when I saw the owner of this house and I though he was going to think something wrong. I apologized about it.

I saw my friend and he has been sick all day. We were talking in a kitchen were all I saw was a wooden table. We talked for a while and I teleported once more to those restrooms. I was with this friend now and we went to the bargain sale again. We spawned in a different place. I could hear Mexican music and it was like a restaurant. We were about to eat and I woke up.

Missed dream signs:
- I could teleport.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Explore the place were I was or head for a ToTM

September 16, 2010

I hate having bad dreams. Mine are never short but are long and very complicated. I had 2 bad dreams in a row this time. The first, I was at my great grandmas house about to take off. It was a sort of shady day and they had opened up a new park by the house. Driving off, I passed by two children playing with a box, some kids running around in the street and a stray dog. Suddenly, my car breaks down so I walk back to the house. My cellphone is dead so I will ask to use the house phone. When I get there, four people are living there. A young girl (Maybe 11), her grandmother, and two boys around my age. Walking inside, there is something wrong with the house. I can feel it while I am walking. Things are beginning to change and the people around me are in shock by it as well. Heading towards the kitchen I stop when I enter and by the stove in the corner is mounds of flesh and muscle. They are just huge pounds of meat, eyes, and fingers layered ontop of one another. I understand I am having a bad dream at this point and back away. It is then I realize I have to leave this place in order to wake up. So, I don't say a word to these people and run to the door. When I open it, the house is no longer in Surprise Arizona. Now, it is floating in ice cold water with large glaciers and ice around it. I started to panic, but one of the boys already jumped in the water and it is much too cold for swimming. I head to the door to the stairs and the upstairs bedroom. When I open it the body of the grandmother is hung there but she is still alive. Her body is almost melting an the skin starts to peel off. When you die in this place, your skin and person isn't there anymore, but your flesh it. "You wont wake up this time." She says and the bottom of her jaw completely falls off.



I grab onto one of the boys and hold onto his arms. I am scared and telling him we have to come up with some sort of plan to escape. He just tells me, "You have a bug bite on your arm." I scratch my arm and I wake up. I do have a bug bite on my arm and I did scratch it. I go back to sleep again. One scary dream isn't enough to keep me from much needed rest! This time, I am sitting at a diner with the same boy from before and his brother. His name is jake and we have been friends for a very very long time. We are sitting in a diner but there are very few people there just for food. Some of the people looked wounded and we are waiting for something to happen. We tell stories to one another of our families but there is something sad lingering above our heads. Just then, the brother is playing with a fork and the ground starts shaking. "Amanda, you have a lot of bug bites." Jake tells me and surprisingly I do have many swollen bites on my arms and shoulders. But, I don't scratch them. Running, the earthquake is what we were waiting for. Running outside, the diner is ripped off the side of the hill and the people inside are thrown about like rag dolls. We keep running and don't stop. It is bright outside, almost too bright and you can see the sun as big as a harvest moon close to the earth. This has to be the end of the world and I am trying to run from it. Jake and his brother keep on running and jump over a large crack in the earth. Stopping at the ledge, I look at them and can hear rocks being ripped apart behind me. "Come on!" They yell to me and after that moment of hesitation I run after them.Then, I wake up.

Imagine all the following characters to be muppets instead of real people. Ok...

It is a day in fall, the leaves are rustling and a piece of paper floats down a dusty road followed sticks and leaves. The paper moves past a bunch of people dancing and holding X's made of wood. Some of them have arrows and the others behind them point the X's down and then up like dancing.

Futher away at a large tree in the forest a ghost creeps out of a hollowed log. He looks like a whisp with a very sad mouth. "I have to warn the others", he says and flys awkwardly to a broken down house with a tree dead in the center of it. Half of it is open ans exposed and it looks like the tree grew into it. Floating in he yells into the house, "They are coming!" An old grandfather clock opens and a garden statue of David with a bow and arrow jumps out. Dracula wakes up from under a tree stump and a Dolly named Brittany looks around in the water of an old fountain.

Just then following the ghost a man in a black tuxedo with a face that is the stars comes out and hold's up the X. The whisp cries and dissipates. Outraged the David statue leaps up and shoots the man with stars in the face. David then breaks apart and is turned into dust.

Staring wide eye'd Dracula floats up and then shoots into the fountain of dirty water with the Dolly and kisses her. Blowing all of his air and life force into her mouth he manages to say, "Hurry Brittany, you are the only one who can save us now." Backing away out of the fountain she turns into a normal girl and the Dracula lays with a lily on his chest. He is now no more and the now human girl leaves the house.

I have bad dreams. I am traveling by train to somewhere different. My friends all moved there to start fresh. The guy I am dating now has died. Taking the train we cross a huge bridge to another side. It is somewhere called "Athos". However, not only is the bridge over the lake a border between my world and this one. There are a group of wild dogs called "Hop" that live there. Some of them are tamed as I see while we go along in the train. They work with farmers and have some sort of agreement. But, as we keep going I see tons and tons of wild dogs the size of horses dead in piles. Even the cubs are dead in mountain like piles while the dogs hang over them crying and whining.There is smoke and ash rising from the place and nothing grows green We killed them all, not because we wanted to but because the Hop's are very different than normal dogs. When they get old enough, they hypnotize people and give them a Disease called Level 4 Sickness. The dogs do it realizing, but it is harmful enough. The sickness makes you crazy and the moment you see blood you lose your mind. Then you become like them, you crawl around and chew on the remaining bodies the Hops have left. The train stops, there is a complication and the dogs are too close. In front of me, people are starting to lose their mind and I take that as a signal to get the hell off the train.

I dont remember getting off the train. I just remember falling off something and landing into some water. Sitting up, I see the train behind me being pushed off the tracks by the Hops and people everywhere killing each other and screaming. There are a few who are bent down and ripping out peoples insides. Crawling in the water, my heart beats faster and I manage to get under some rubble.

I dont remember how I managed to get out of there. But, when I wake up I am at a new place. It is a house with different people of all sorts living there. There are a few baby hops there but even the full grown hops seem tame and stay by their human. I have to wait and I am told by an older blonde woman that I am at the city where I was trying to get. I am at Athos, and it is not what I must have expected. The place is burning to the ground and the Level 4 Sickness spread in a way that people are acting normal but bleeding from the inside out. Walking corpses I guess you could say.

What happened next all came in the wrong order after that. I met a darker skin young man, he looked like a mix of things but he had white eyes. He wasn't blind, just white eyes. He stared at me and went to some ritual. I never saw him again. I went to a coffee shop on the outskirts of town while looking for food with others. It was in working order and I met a pretty blonde Russian girl. She hung out with me and we acted like things were normal for the sake of it. Years passed. Not a few but like 7 or 9 years. I got married, and was having a baby. I walked into one of the Level 4 Sickness patients room while I was there and found my husband having sex with a corpse. "Don't" was all he said and I hit myself in the stomach. The blonde lady was sitting on a bus traveling through where the Hops live to try and see someone. It was all black around them and the passengers turned one by one to stare while bleeding from their mouths and eyes. She was panicking, stared up at the ceiling and saw Hops sitting there grinning at them. The woman driving the bus finally gave in and clenched her jaw till it cracked.

I was recovered finally. I walked outside and everything looked fine. Everything looked as it should. There were fountains and people were happy. There wasn't any blight or sickness, just happy. I went up to my husband at the time. When standing next to him I suddenly felt sick. I look down and I am bleeding, then I feel like my throat had been cut. Looking up, my husband grins and it is obvious he has the sickness. My phone goes off and I have a text.I stumble back but I pull it out and read it. It is a message from Caesar (My boyfriend) "Come back to me". And then I wake up.

Hello,

My name is Mandy and I finally got around to joining the website. One of my good friends recommended it to me after a few chats about dreams. I never really looked up much about lucid dreaming and have had some interesting experiences without realizing what is going on. To start, I will post a few dreams I have had in the past and then just keep updating with dreams I do have.

You may see a pattern with my posting and know that I only have weird dreams and nightmares. My dreams have been that way since I was younger so most of the graphic/scary things are very normal for me.

Actors are running amok in my dreeeeaaaaams.

Don't leave your distractions up to me. Things will get dark.

I'm leaning over the stone railing of the balcony, stretched out under afternoon sunlight. The balcony overlooks the city below, with its clay tile rooftops and climbing ivy. This place is teeming with life, and I allow myself to bask in its positive energy. Looking at the roads below, I can see -

Wait.

"Is that guy riding a unicorn?" I ask.

The soldier standing next to me, dressed in forest green camo, puts a hand above his eyes and squints. "Oh, yeah. That's the pizza guy."

"The pizza guy." I repeat flatly. "Of course."

The pizza guy has convinced his unicorn to go up a flight of steps. As he turns the corner, I see his face. I bury my head in my hands.

I appear outside next to him. "Really, Misha?" I say, "You know what'll happen if they catch you?"

He says something.

I shake my head. "The stage is set." I make a grand gesture with a sweep of my arm. "Your distraction is ready."

How many pizzas would you need to feed a platoon of soldiers, anyway?

Vampires.

The girl looks maybe thirteen years old. She's quiet and sullen, and thirty vampires are following her through the darkness.

She didn't mean to turn them. Well, not all of them. As their sire, she's responsible for them, and needs to keep them under control.

I really need to kill a few, she thinks.

She keeps three.

"Rosie," she says, "It doesn't have to be this way." She's staring at the animated corpse of her friend. She turned Rosie into a vampire to save her life.

Rosie laughs, trapped as she is within the circle. Still grinning, she'll speak the words that will damn her friend forever.

Flashback.

This is the girl vampire's past. She's still human, up in the building that I just left, protected by a platoon of pizza-ordering soldiers in forest green.

The soldiers are all dead, attacked by vampires. The girl is injured, bleeding. There is one soldier left, a recurring character. He turns around to reassure her, tell her they'll be all right. He lowers his weapon.

"Look," I say gleefully. "You can see the precise moment that she turns."

She's a vampire now. She kills the soldier.

I realize this was probably confusing. I've got nothing.

So I very rarely have dreams on a normal school night, I just don't get enough sleep to be rested enough to remember my dreams. Until now I thought the only way to combat this was to go to bed around 9, which I doubt will happen again for the rest of the school year considering my workload. This was until last night... I had a dream and I remember a large chunk of it pretty well. I stayed up quite late last night and I was stressed so it can't have anything to do with being well rested. Then it hit me what was different about last night. I was listing to music! I always need some sort of background noise so I'm always playing some sort of "meditation" music when I'm falling asleep, but yesterday I listened to this rather sad and calm mix CD I had made. That is the only thing I could think of effecting me, lyrics. I'm not sure if this would make any difference at all, and one night isn't enough of a test for sure, but it might help. Needless to say, I'm listening to the CD again tonight.

Dream 1: Woodshop + Tumblr + Party?
There were three sections to this dream, and I have no idea what order they went in because they weren't really cohesive. I'll just post the parts in seperate paragraphs.

-I was with two girls that I am okay friends with (in real life they kind of hate each other, or just mutually dislike). They were kneeling next to a bed on opposite sides in a purple room. They each had pieces of wood about the size of a paperback book in front of them. I think they were supposed to be decorating them but they were both very plain, if not completly plain. These weren't supposed to be art though, they had some purpose. There were other people making these too, also kneeling against the bed, about 15 people in total (it was a really long bed). I walked into what felt like a class and the "teacher" (who was standing in the middle of the bed pacing back and forth) told me I would have to catch up.

-The same two friends were on the website tumblr making a blog (this segment of the dream will make more sense if you are familiar with tumblr). I asked if I could reblog photos with them. They said no. I walked over to these two boys I'm friends with (I have no idea where we were). They said I could post on tumblr with them.
(this shows how totally and embarassingly I am addicted to tumblr)

-I was at a party with one of the girls from the other dreams and both of the boys. We were outside on some sort of patio and there were lights strung between the trees. The boys had one glass bottle between the two of them and I had a glass bottle that looked identical. The bottles looked like the kind you would fill with colored sand and closed with corks. They were both filled with a clear (possibly slightly pink tinted, probably alcoholic) liquid. I asked them if they wanted to mix them even though they were the same thing. They said no. Then the two boys started talking about some game like World of Warcraft.
