non-lucid

Dreams from last night and the night before. One of them was a nightmare.

~One dream consisted entirely of a guy chasing me with a dagger. By the time I woke up from it, he had stabbed me in the stomach, slashed my face, and deeply cut my arm. It scared the crap out of me.

~I fell asleep again after that one and ended up in Wal-Mart. I walked around by the checkout things for a while, and then just started hopping around. I noticed I stayed suspended in the air for a few seconds before I fell. But the minute I thought, "Hey, that's kind of cool...", it stopped happening. I jumped up as high as I could, but just fell right back down.

I just kept walking around. I started thinking of the murderer from the last dream, but in the dream I was thinking that that had actually happened, not that I had dreamed it. I guess I looked kind of freaked out or something, because a guy walked up to me and asked if I was okay. I know he wasn't TG or Tiger, but it doesn't seem like he was a DC. He asked if I needed a hug. I told him yes. He gave me a big hug, and afterwards I think I went out to the parking lot.

~I was in a hallway at school. A guy suddenly came running towards me with a group of people behind him. He told me to join them as he pushed a brick in the wall. It went back and a door slid open. We all went through the doorway and came out in a secret room. The group sat in a circle while the guy closed the door. He said something about some kind of spell, and told someone to cast it. Everyone looked at everyone else.

"Do you know how to do it?" someone asked me.

"No, I don't think so."

"I do." A girl said something I forget, and a symbol glowed red on her foot. A dog ran into the room and the guy was about to tell everyone something when I woke up.

~I have no idea where I was in this one. I was a dog, though, a german shepard rottweiler mix like my grandma's. There were two or three other dogs that looked like me. We were trying to solve a riddle to get some little figurine-type things. We went all around the place we were at. There was a wooden floor that was apparently on stilts or something, because in places it would just collapse under us and we would have to try to get back up. There were other groups of dogs, too. They all looked like us, but some were old, some were crazy and rabid, and other things. I think I woke up after falling into the floor for the upteenth time.

~Then just a frag: I was watching the new "The Last Airbender" movie. It hasn't come out yet, so I wish I could've remembered some of the words to compare when I see the real movie.

I am in this place that seems to be underground. There are these traintrack(hey, OMGDreams ) . The place is kinda big. This traintrack type rollercoaster was only sorta a rollercoaster... it wasn't nearly as big as a real one. There were some lights in there, so it wasn't exactly PITCH black! So in this place I was either with my friend of me and my sis from my old house or here, our neighbor. So, our friend was going down thecoaster thing on this...little wheeled seat type thing. It didn't look safe so I was hesitant to go on . But, I decided I would go on anyway. She used these stair type things. Each step like stacks onto one another...I started to take the whole thing, but then only took two because I realized that that's what she did. I start to go on the rollercoaster, but I didn't get to finish!

Ok, so I've been playing sims lately (sims 3), so it transfers into my dreams sometimes. I KNOW I will get more of these! I am aparently on the computer playing sims ! This neighborhood that I am playing I've never actually played IRL. It was a very pretty neighborhood, I was only in one part of it. These houses were spread out a good amount, but not massivly. So I start clickin on the houses in the game. Oddly enough, I see that most of the houses have 2 kids and no parents! I click on one house and I see a single dad with two kids. I think in the picture of the household he is holding one of his kids (toddler, I guess). It's odd because the dad isn't an old guy, yet he has this striking white hair. I notice this hair on a few other sims in this area of the neighborhood. He also has this dark gray goth-y type eyeshadow on! I now find another household that I want to play, and there are only 2 kids in it. In sims if you have a household with kids and no adults, someone will come to get them (I forget what it's called!). So, right away someone comes to get them. I'm all "nooo!!". So, I switch households, hoping that they will still be there. I can check back up on them when they're teens, when that can't happen.

~ Catholic exorcism

I was in a dark, Hogwarts-like place. The surroundings were old and wooden, but sturdy-looking. There was a giant crowd of people around. I was on a second-floor platform, but you could look over the railing to see the first floor if you wanted. I looking for my friends, Caitlin (my pseudo-sister IRL) and Ken (a somewhat large lesbian, and one of my best friends IRL). I saw Caitlin and Ken run by me up the stairs, so I immediately turned around. I caught up to Ken, but Caitlin had gotten away. Ken informed me that Cait was possessed by The Demon.
In its natural form, The Demon looked like a small black cloud, but it could possess people and have them do its bidding. Ken and I had to get it out of Caitlin, so we were going to have to perform an exorcism.
I got Ken and we went to the dorm area of the hall. Some girl, with slight reluctance, let us set up a base in her room. It was a small, but cozy room with pale yellow walls. Once inside, we shut the door, lit a candle near the door and one near the bed, and I sprinkled a circle of Holy Water from the container that I had with me.

Layout of the room:
[].....~~...[.]
[]..~......~[.]
|......~~...[.]
|____'_'___|
The []'s make up a bed.
The ~ represent a circle of Holy Water.
The [.]'s are a desk with a TV on it and some papers that were on the ground.

There, we waited. I got prepared to say some exorcism. Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. Ken went over to open it, but I stopped her.
"Who is it?" I asked.
No answer.
"Who are you?"
No answer.
"Should I turn out the lights?" Ken asked, about to suffocate the candles with her fingers. I nodded. The room got dark, and I kept the door locked. The Demon wouldn't be getting into this room.
I woke up.

This dream was quite frightening, but I don't know if it really was a nightmare. It had many nightmare qualities, like an unseen enemy, my friends are victims, and I'm not completely sure what to do, but during the dream, I was acting very calm, cool, and collected, although I really was quite nervous. I knew the precautions I had to take to stay safe. I'll just put it as a nightmare.
I should have noticed it was a dream because I don't believe in demons. I think crowds may be a growing dreamsign for me.

"Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends."
~ The Beatles, With a Little Help from My Friends

The guys (and some girls) and I were at Papa Gino's, but it seems like it looked, well, GOOD in there. Nice wooden feel to it. Anyway, I was there with my friends Dylan, Bridget, and Justin, although Justin isn't really my friend. I find nothing likable in him. NO MATTER! We, and some other guys, were all eating foods, and I got a hot dog. My dog, Arte, was supposed to get bacon with his meal and give it to me, but he didn't get any bacon.
We were all supposed to bring our own lunches as well. I don't know why. That makes no sense. However, some people, in that typical fashion of other people being unreliable, forgot their lunches. However, some did bring empty gift bags, so that was ok.

"lol sure, you can have my bacon. This makes perfect sense."

We had a REALLY tough practice at Karate yesterday. So, as I expected, I was far too tired to write any of my dreams down whenever I woke up. (Surprisingly good recall for such conditions, though.) During one of my early sleep cycles, I kept waking myself up practicing my kicks. Seriously, I must have done this five or six times.

1- Weirdness... As Usual
My brother and I are taking a walk when we pass by a dog pen. We know for a fact that the owners of these dogs have moved, so we worry that they will die here. "I'm taking this one home with me," he says, petting a big gray dog that resembles a wolf.

"We already have two dogs at the house, Mama will never let you keep him."

"So? I'll just hide him in my room."

That is a horrible idea, but at that point my eyes fall on the other dog; He is a small pit bull mix... and so adorable! He gives me those sad puppy dog eyes, as if to say "You're not going to leave me here all by myself, are you?" No, of course not. I take the dog home and hide him in my closet.

About a day later, I am thinking to myself about how much trouble Steven is going to get into if he gets caught with that dog. Wait a minute... didn't I get a dog, too? GAH! I jump to my feet and run to my room, opening the closet door. My dog is sitting huddled up in the corner.

"I've been trapped in here for a whole day!" He whines, shuddering.

"I'm so sorry! You must really need to use the bathroom, don't you?"

He nods, whimpering. I can't take him outside, because my parents are in the other room. I'll just have to get some kind of container... I find a long, rectangular food container and tell him to go in that. He raises his leg, and...

"You're missing!" I say urgently, not wanting to have to clean up dog pee from my closet.

"Oops..." he finally manages to go in the container, but it fills up so much that now he's up to his shoulders. He tells me it feels like a nice, hot bath. WTF?

"Um... Now you need a real bath. Wait here." I get another one of the containers and fill it with warm, soapy water. I bring it back to my closet, glad to see that he hasn't caused any more trouble. "Okay, now get in and wash yourself off." As he is bathing, my grandmother walks in. ((Why is she here?)) She says I'm going to be in trouble for having a dog in the house.

2- Beware the Spider Queen
I am lying in bed, when I notice a HUGE spider on the wall above me. This thing is about the size of a cat, and it's giving me the look of death. Normally, I like spiders. I don't even mind when they crawl on me. But this is a different story. Freaked, I jump out of bed, eyes on the spider. It turns it's body, following my every move with it's eight beady eyes. It looks like it's about to pounce... I run from the room slamming the door behind me.

My grandma is here again. I learn that she is with an ancient demon slaying society, and that she is here to pass the legacy on to me. She tells me that the spider can only be killed if it's web is destroyed. Otherwise it will just keep coming back to life.

*time lapse* I think we've killed the spider by this point, but my memory isn't very clear. My grandmother gives me a weapon that resembles a giant metal boomerang. It instantly reminds me of Sango's Hiraikotsu.

3- School Days
I run from the house as the bus nearly leaves us. Once inside, I go to the back where Shelby is sitting. It's the first time I've seen her since the... incident. We talk about it; she tells me all the harsh things that her mother said about me.

4- Forgotten Dreams
I am in a video store with my aunt. There are some phones on display, and I see that I have typed some dreams up on one of them. Woah, I don't remember these at all! When did I write this?

Suddenly I look up at the screen that shows previews for various movies. It is showing a preview for a sequel to Coraline, called "Revenge of the Other Mother." Wow, I have to see that!

5- Pattie and Wilhelm (fragment)
((Uh, I'm not really sure what this is, to be honest... It seems like it must have been epic in it's entirety, because I have several memories after this of telling other people about it and posting it in my DJ.)) Something about a ghost named Pattie mourning for her lost love, Wilhelm.

6- Pokemon (fragment)
Vague memory of Pokemon. Pikachu doesn't look like it's supposed to... Looks more like a Shroomish.

weird lucid

My memory starts when the person I know as L who looked like David Rockefeller, showing up in a black limo while I am walking down a generic street.
He gets out and I can tell he wants to use me in some way to get into my inner world. I run away into someones yard. I jump over a fence, and now I am floating. i touch the ground and continue running, not looking behind me at all. The next fence has an opening in it. Right in the middle of the fence is a square opening, so i dive through it head first. I keep running until I come to another fence with a large square opening, so this time I go feet first floating through it.

I go into a yard that is familiar and go behind a stone wall. I then jump up onto a small concrete ledge with a stone roof with a mural painted on the ceiling. I gradually become lucid during a period of several seconds. I am staring at the mural. All I see is paintings of Asuka on the murals. I stare at one for a while and notice one of the eyelids begins to come out of the painting. I think "oh great she's hiding in the mural and is coming out to see me!"

I instinctively put my hand on the mural. I look at it against the part of the dream and begin counting. I count up to ten, I didn't want to go high just in case I wasn't doing it right. I pulled my hand away and I watched as the dream was bending towards me like the corner edges of paper coming together. I watched as it went back to normal.

I had something in my hand. It was like a metal dog tag with an inscription on it. It was by Walms. It wals talking about time dilation. it read "focus on hand - the dream. Count and then jump". I had a vague image in my head of walms with his hand on the ground and counting. when he was done I see him spring up right into the air.

missing time


yeah

sex dream I kept waking up from. In the dream i would be in the same bed doing my thing. Then i would wake up and be in the same bed alone. This happened several times.


strange game

I remember being in some building where we were participating in some wierd game. We had to go to different tables and do different actions or something. I didn't understand it well so i went outside for a smoke. It was night out and I saw something moving in the shadows to my left.

"Is that somebody there?" I asked. I heard a woman's voice and saw the shadow come forward. There was a smaller shadow with her. they moved into the light a bit. they stood in front of me with steps leading down behind them. We were in a conversation I can't recall. I watched as the woman walked, she went from slim to a very obese woman. She asked me if I gave the joint to someone.

as she asked it, more people came from walking up the steps. there were a few Women and one really short brown guy with a mean look on his face. someone asked "you gave a joint to someone?"

i said "yea, It was a few inches long but not very big." I showed the thickness of it between my fingers, indicating it was really small. "It was a fucking pinner joint!" I said. Everyone laughed except the small brown guy.

Basement

some vague dream aof walking around in my basement with asuka and other inner world characters.

Asuka attacked

yet again. I was in some dark place watching some weird creature put a series of spikes through her and she was screaming. It faded out.

What?

I am Shawna from junior high. Through her eyes I see myself sitting down and playing guitar. WTF?!?!?

Well, here goes dream journal entry number one. How fitting, I only had ‘one’ dream that I could recall, and only partially at that.

It had the same theme as a couple of others that I’ve had in the past. I’d be driving down the road exceedingly fast and go up a large hill only to find that on the other side it drops off sharply (i.e. I’m airborne for a couple hundred feet and hoping that I come down on the road again). Basically I lose my insides on the trip down.

This one last night was me on a surf board (I don’t surf, never had) and I’m heading out to open sea when suddenly a huge wave is coming at me (well suddenly it’s us – my ex-wife appears out of nowhere and starts pleading with me to paddle away from the wave). I don’t see the logic to that as I would be pummeled by the wave as it crests. So I’m trying to get to the top of it before it crests, which is actually quite easy seeing as how the wave is travelling at a tremendous speed. This is a huge wave – hundred feet high.

And then my conscious logic kicks in at a couple of feet from the top of the wave. I’m thinking that if this wave is this large, there’s going to be a trough on the other side twice as deep as this wave is high. Basically, I’m screwed.

My conscious logic kicks back off, and sure enough as I top the wave, I’m looking at nothing but empty space before I even can begin to see water again, and the next wave isn’t much kinder looking. So, I’m free-falling three quarters of the way down, trying to keep the board upright, losing my insides type of feeling all the way down and I suddenly wake up.

The dream itself was kind of cool now that I’m trying to be aware of them rather than just going with the flow. And I’m not even sure where the ‘ex’ fits into that one.

Anyway, hopefully this is the first to many in the dream journal and on my way to understanding my dreams and hopefully being able to control them at some time.

The dream begins in an animated style, borrowing from the Arthur cartoons on PBS. Arthur has just moved to a new city and joined a swim team, but he just lost his swim shoes in the water filtration system. A maintenance man digs for them in the machinery, but he just can't find them. Arthur runs from the swim club in anger, exclaiming that "It's only been four days!" since he moved into the town.

As he leaves, the dream switches into live action and first-person, and I view a large and bustling cityscape. Streetcars full of people pass by; along their tops are emblazoned the names of famous authors (Marcel Proust, for example) and my friends (text, so YET ANOTHER failed RC). I excitedly hit the streets and head to a nearby cafe. When I stand in line, however, I realize that all the signs are in a foreign script and all the patrons speaking a foreign tongue. Unnerved, I head back onto the street, and in a daze wander to a market. A smog descends on the dream, and I recall exotic (but pleasant) smells from the stalls and headscarf-clad shoppers.

Luckily, I find my mom also in the market. She clarifies that I'm in the country of Turkey and reunites me with my brother and dad. She also seems to have an excellent grasp of Islamic law, for as we're about to enter a shop where we can see women, she holds us back and goes in first to make sure it's alright. She encourages the family to "act Canadian" and respect their customs (a behavior not at all like real life).

I'm waiting for my brother to pick me up at home and take me to the mall. He's running late, so I go downstairs and fire up my computer. It has a projected user interface, as in Jarvis from the Iron Man movie, and a very large high-def monitor. I start to browse Wikipedia (text, so failed RC), looking up Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and from there link to an obscure Japanese game that takes place in the Kingdom Hearts universe. It download it and proceed to play.
The only relationship to Kingdom Hearts is the use of the Gummi Ship. This vehicle is presented in top-down perspective, scrolling in a traditional manner as in Galaga or Galaxian. The enemies follow colored tracks along with a soundtrack, as in Audiosurf, and special flight maneuvers are also order with the music as in DJ Hero. The interface is intuitive and the gameplay frantic enough to keep me engaged for several rounds, and I start to reconsider going to the mall at all.

Curled up for a nap, mostly just trying to work on better dream recall and making myself write them down - and being more attentive to my dreams. Cat curled up with me, and when I kept starting to feel myself doze, of course she would rub on my hand for attention, waking me back up....so eventually I just gave up my usual mantra of "I am going to sleep. I am going to dream. I am going to remember my dreams," and rolled over to take a real nap.

I am in my old house in New York, the 2 story one. I am on a cell phone with my father...which should have clued me in that I was dreaming, as we didn't have cell phones when I lived there. I remember trying to convince him of something, while my step-mother and boyfriend are running around the house, moving things. For some reason she was trying to put a set of drawers inside another one, and pad it with blankets. She was being very high strung, which is par for the course, and I was trying to relate this to my father. When I would talk, he said he was having a hard time hearing me, and I spent most of the dream frustrated with trying to convey the situation over the phone. At one point, I became convinced that he was not paying attention, and apparently thought that whistling through a straw at the phone would fix that... Thankfully, my alarm woke me up from this nonsensical dream to go on with the evening.

June 21 2010

This first one is a bit hazy since I remembered it while showering and didn't record it.

It consisted of me, Jessica Alba, and one other person. We were in some dark industrial looking room and we had to do a bunch of acrobatic stunts in order to get out of the room, like I had to flip off this platform and do a handstand on this bar connected to the door to drag the door down and then somebody else would hop over and pull me up. At some point Jessica started to talk to me about how she simply told another actress while on the set that she was going to ass fuck her. And I was like oh wow ok, and she went in detail even gave me a vision of how she did it, but the whole time i wasn't in the vision, i was still conscious of my surroundings.

And I think that dream gave influence to this one, it was late at night, and I was sitting in my living room watching TV a show about the " Top Insert Number Here Sexiest Women in TV". So cool, I watch that for a while until my brother comes in and starts to ask me what im watching so i tell him and when he asks the channel I give him that too, but I was uncomfortable with the whole thing and just wanted him to go back to bed. I turn the program off after my whole family ends up waking up and walking around, and my little bro ends up telling my parents I was watching that. I remember going into the kitchen and looking into the fridge and the pantry and seeing yogurt everywhere, and I was like wow we have a lot of yogurt. Skips to me telling my mom and brothers good bye as they drive away to go do something and my Dad is bitching at my bro about how he always leaves half empty yogurts all over the house and i end up throwing a spoon on the ground out of anger lol. Me and my dad go back inside and we tell each other good night and I go back to watching my show.

I was in this grassy clearing, flat where I was standing but off in the distance it was hilly and bright, with a body of water stuck somewhere in between the lands curves. There were two males in front of me, whos faces and voices I cannot recall. They had long bamboo like sticks much like mine and I was engaged in combat with them, for training purposes. One was much better than me, and also much older and wiser, the other still a student but had more experience than me. We went on exchanging blows, I held up pretty well, I even broke the students weapon at one point and it fell on me. After a while everything transformed, the people around me into my friends, and the environment as well. It got darker and I perceived myself with my friends in a neighborhood. We were looking through a fence that consisted of vertical square black metal bars and we were on a hill looking through it at a culdesac where my friend Dylan was setting off fireworks. And we were trying to communicate with him, but he couldn't hear us, his dad drove away on a motorcycle(wasn't aware of him before his departure) and he began to set off more fireworks. We keep trying to yell at him to tell him to save some for us, and this kid I hate was with us in that moment said "Ya save the fireworks!" and I was like "aw fuck" in my head.

I had three dreams that I remembered last night. It took me a while to get to a place to write though, so I only have one for in here.

I was playing basketball with my friend Kayla from elementary and high school. We were on the roof of a building. There was a bunch of basket ball courts. All the basketball courts were separated by this sturdy see through netting. It also went around the roof. I think it was so the ball didn't go off the roof.

Last Day of School (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Oh boy, here we go with the still in school dreams again. lol.

I was in school. It was the last day of school. I was hanging out with my friend Brandon. I remember him laughing his ass off at something, but I don't remember what. That's all I remember.

I have a better chance of getting lucid dreams again now because I'm having dreams where I'm still in school.

The last couple nights I haven't had anything to record. I haven't really slept well since I just had some oral surgery done. So, hopefully I will start logging again soon.
