non-lucid

I am playing a game of one-on-one basketball with some black guy in a strip mall parking lot. The parking lot had been converted to a court. I am doing jump shots, lay-ups, and hook shots. It is very realistic; I make some of the shots but also miss some - the dream corresponds exactly to my skill level IWL. At one point the ball goes flying over to where a mailman is. He catches the ball and throws it back to us. When I catch the ball I notice it is larger than before and is covered in a velour material, as though someone put a sweater over it. The cover doesn't fit it right on the basketball; it begins to loosen. Eventually a sleeve comes loose and dangles out, revealing that it is indeed a velour sweater. Dreamt 3/10/2017

So, this is my second Dream Journal post today, because I ended up going back to sleep later that morning for a nap. First I slept on my back after doing some meditation. I had some dreams but didn’t remem bird them.

All the Channels

I remember I was typing on my lap top. Typing dreams I guess. Typing away on there. There was some audio that kept coming on. Maybe a sports broadcast.

My Dad kept coming in my room and setting up a T V. it was a big T V. My room was a lot bigger, too. “Now we can watch all the channels!” said he, excitedly.

Hiding

There was one scene where I was kind of on our back deck. And I saw the back yard neighbors window open. It was black. But the mom was out there and some kids.

I was behind some wall kind of thing. I felt the need to hide. Not sure why. Maybe I realized it was fine and I could get up. But I remember really really hoping they wouldn’t see me!

More Lap Top

Funny I would dream of my Lap Top a lot. I was typing more on my lap top. I REM ember that the blue headset wire had pulled out. In waking life this causes my computer to blue screen so I was like, oops. Maybe I don’t need it in because I hadn’t been listening to anything.

I remember I was at a podium this time. Maybe more audio kept coming on. I think someone was telling me they did something for me.

I remember tilting the screen to get the words to appear better. As if there was a glare. The screen was red orange with black text like when f.lux is on a high setting.

Forgotten parts

I thought there might have been a part at my Nana’s room or something. I tried to store some details in my head but later, after the FILD, found I had forgotten at least some.

Vibrations

I started to get some vibrational sensations like I might Dream Exit Induced Lucid, Dream. I tried to amplify the ringing but it didn’t go anywhere yet.

As I did this I realized I might forget the previous dreams. I told myself I formed a strong enough memory.

Finger Induced Lucid, Dream

Yeah! So Then I randomly got the idea to try Finger Induced Lucid, Dream. I think it was the fingers on my left hand I started to twitch. I felt something happen I never felt before.

It was hard to describe. I will have to pay more attention to it in future attempts. But something like a bright light in my head. And some sensations.

Twitching my 2 fingers felt different too. They started to move super fast because I was probably twitching my dream fingers.

Back in bed

I was back in bed. Or so I thought. I figured the Finger Induced Lucid, Dream had done nothing. But then I noticed another sports broadcast playing. That wouldn’t be playing in my room since I didn’t leave it on. And no one was home. So I felt like taking a little chance that I was in the dream world.

I’ve heard of this before. During Wake Initiated Lucid Dream for example. Someone being in their bed, and it seems like its their physical bed, so they’re afraid to move. But really it’s a dream and if they open their eyes its going to be a dream.

Snow?! In my Room?!

I started to feel snow fall on me. This seemed normal at first. (LOL) I opened my mouth and let it fall on my tongue. Yep, snow.

Then that also made me think this might be a dream. So I decided to roll onto my back at least and take a peek.

Getting Up

First I was on my back. My low back felt stuck to the bed but everything else could move.

I got to where I was still stuck on my lower back, but I had fallen onto the floor. Or teleported there. I still wasn’t totally sure it was a dream. Maybe I was just getting up.

I willed myself to stand. It was kind of like flying a little, more than using legs and arms to get up.

I still had my eye mask on within the dream. I had to remove a few layers of cloth until I could see. They kept appearing once I removed the previous one.

Invisible

One thing I noticed was the objects in my room kept going invisible. My room was laid out like waking life. Shelf in same place. Desk and lap top in similar place. Even my Dream Journal chair in same place.

Even my dream body would blink into invisibility, then become visible again. I noticed this when trying to check my hands to verify it was a dream. I had a hard time believing that I hadn’t just gotten up out of bed physically.

This will prove it!

I eventually found my lap top and opened it. There was a VLC kind of icon on the task bar, but more to the left than in waking life.

I tried to open a note pad file. My goal was to type myself something and then see if it was there later. But the more I noticed the difference in the computer, I was already sure it was a dream.

Morphing Keyboard

What really sealed the deal was the key board. It was smaller and had more tape on it. Also I remember looking at the letter “D”. It was like where “W” in waking life. But I did the good old double check letters and the “D” became an “S”. The rest of the letters morphed, too.

Popped Back

I thought of checking out the window or something but the dream didn’t seem that stable. Everything was going invisible and stuff.

After I was looking at the key board more I thought, “You know how I will know it’s a dream? That thing will happen where my consciousness pops back into my body in bed. So that’s how I’ll know.” And then that happened.

Notes

I was really excited to get my first Finger Induced Lucid, Dream! It was hard to believe since I never entered a dream that way. But I guess the Finger Induced Lucid, Dream teleported me into a dream. Very cool.

Thanks for reading!

I bought a submarine at some sporting goods store and I'm looking for a place to launch it. My wife suggests I try the water over by a Lowe's. I tell her the lake is too shallow, and it doesn't go to the sea. I look over to my left and see an ocean of water in the distance my wife is pointing at: "What about that?"she says. In a flash, there is water all around me and I am adrift on a skinny canoe. The water is dirty. Other people are in boats not far from me. I approach the shore, climb out of the canoe and walk through the shallow water. As I do this, the canoe suddenly turns into a thin tube and opens at both ends. I push it under the surface of the water as I continue to walk toward the shore. A snake appears and enters one of the openings. I carry the tube with the snake in it onto the land and drag it to a tree. The snake then crawls out of the tube and coils into a ball beneath the tree. It has a long pointy nose like a viper. It suddenly launches itself at me like an arrow, but misses. It then rematerializes beneath the tree in a coil and prepares to launch at me again. I am paralyzed in the tree and cannot move. It never strikes me to my recollection, and eventually I drift from the scenario. Dreamt 3/9/2017

Well, my insomnia’s back. I made 4 questions for myself. One, What do you think causes your insomnia? Two, describe your experience of insomnia. Three, What would your ideal night of sleep be like? Four, why do you want better sleep quality? Then I answered those so I am going to go back over question one piece by piece and see what I can change to see if it makes any difference.

Sleep Cycle One

Pokémon
In my first round of dreams, I had this thing about Pokemon. Some legendary Pokemon and a way to hack the moves. They had moves called S 5 and S 6? I remember a legendary trio but they were dream originals. The map went off somewhere maybe by a lake. Memory just on the tip of my tongue.

Cheese
There was a
Something with a rich guy wanting us to eat cheese.

There was a little hardened cheese left in the dish. It was like he demanded I eat it. I kind of forced myself to.

Aunt Butting In

There was something with my Aunt. My apartment was flooded with water but it seemed normal. Like its normal to just swim down the stairs and stuff. I was blocking my Aunt out. It seemed like she was butting in.

Someything Else

There was somehting else I put on my voice recorder but its not on the top of my head.

Sleep Cycle Two

After some insomnia I actually did fall asleep. I found myself in a dream and became pre lucid. But the dream checks didn’t conclude in lucidity. The rest of the dream was interesting anyway.

Computer

I was on my computer. A task manager kind of program popped up, and it played music. It looked like it was doing a virus scan. The music it played surprised me. It was just an instrumental but it didn’t seem to go with the program.

Eventually it said 14 threats were removed. But one was remaining. The thumb nail of the program had a picture of santa claus. I had to remove that one too. It said the word alert.

Pre Lucid

Eventually I got that program to close. The task bar at the bottom was like my dream the other night. In fact, my dream the other night came to mind, and I was like, wait. Didn’t I dream of my task bar being a little different like this another night? (The start menu was moved over or missing and it was just different.)

At first I doubted it but I decided to finger palm test. I pushed my finger through and it seemed like my hand was solid. I felt my finger between my bone of my hand but figured that was normal in Physical Matter Waking Consciousness if I push hard enough. Also a little dent appeared on the back of my hand. But I figured that was normal in Physical Matter Waking Consciousness. It made me think finger palm tests were just too dangerous.

But I would do a nose pinch breathe test anyway. So I did pinch my nose. I also covered my mouth, to be thorough, and try to breathe. My conscious mind was very active within the dream. Too bad I didn’t actually become lucid.

Air passed through. But I told myself I must not be covering the whole air passage. So it couldn’t be a dream.

It’s not a dream

I looked around my room. I remember seeing my window without curtains. I saw the dark night outside. But light was on in my room.

I considered flying out the window. But I was like, nope. It’s not a dream.

Downstairs

I went downstairs. The lights were on. I was going to the fridge. I hadn’t brung my orange glasses. I sat at the table. I think I was eating food. But also there was talk of some kind of lottery thing.

Randy

I was back in my room then. I was on the computer again. I think I got sleepy. But I wanted to wait to sleep until the task manager thing was fully done. This way if I got up in a hurry to write my dreams, nothing would block me.

Something was playng about American Idol, which I haven’t seen or followed in over 10 years, thank FHQWHGADS. Don’t need that kind of thing.

That fellow Randy was talking about something. I was so annoyed even to have the vibration of American Idol in my space. I quickly shut it off, thinking, “I don’t need this.”

Hug!

I went back downstairs. There was a woman my age. It didn’t seem out of the ordinary for her to be there. My Dad was there too.

I went outside. She was just getting ready to go for a jog. It was like midnight. She said it was for her lucid dreaming practice. I guess she was doing a really extreme Wake Back To Bed which involved going for an intense jog. It made sense.

Then we were talking. I felt like we knew each other. We ended up hugging. I did a smooching sound a few inches from her face because I wanted to kiss her. But then we just kissed on the cheek.

Then I realized we’d kind of just met. So kissing that soon might be too much. I walked up my driveway and I guess she went out for her jog.

Dorms

I went up some stairs and I was in a college dorm. It was a women’s dorm. But suddenly I assumed I lived in a room in the women’s dorm by myself. The reason for this was that I had moved in with a girlfriend into that dorm room. But then she had left, leaving me, a guy, living by myself in a room in a female dormitory. It made lots of sense!

Party

I was at the door with a guy from college. My college room mate appeared there too. I figured they must be my room mates. We went in the room.

There was music. It was like a college party. I was annoyed because I wanted to go to bed. My bed had white sheets on it. White with the square lacing, that has the square texture.

Two people were on my bed. This seemed normal since it was a party. Lots of other people were in the room, and there were other beds, also with people on them, hanging out. (The people on my bed weren’t doing anything intimiate or anything just hanging out.)

I used a funny hip hop phrase in asking them to get off my bed. I repeated it a few times, in a hip hop tone of voice. They got off my bed. A female with dark hair kind of smiled at me from the corner of my eye, as if she appreciated my joke.

I was thinking the hoolgans would notice I was sleeping, and shake me awake. Something about lucid dreaming came to me mind. I wanted to play my audio I play when I fall asleep but it seemed the music would drown it out.

False Awakening

I had a false awakening where I was recording my dream in the dark. Only every sentence felt like it took forever to say. I was like, theres no way I can say every sentence. I may as well go write it out.

Overall Notes

Yeah, insomnia. Blah. I was in bed and probably sleep by 9 the first time. I gotta see what I can do about this insomnia (without drugs).

No recall on Day 74. I did remember some figments of a dream on Day 75, but having to take the puppies out kinda wiped that clean from my memory. Day 76 is where I finally had and held onto my dreams long enough to record them on my phone.

I also think my awareness practices are becoming stale. I have a feeling I'm not doing them right at all. Then again it could just be that feeling of fatigue associated with ADA, along with the stress of having to write a two page essay (Still not done yet), so that's...good.


Day 76:


Fell asleep at: 10:30 PM

Woke up at: 7:00 AM


A storm rolled in before I went to bed. The streets were flooded, my brother was outside recording the whole thing, and bright flashes of lightning illuminated my bedroom (Along with my Super Mario Galaxy poster, but that's besides the point). It was a bit difficult to fall asleep, thunder and pounding rain kinda got in the way. Funnily enough, recall has drastically improved from my last outing.


Dream 82: Inferiority Complex

My mom is driving into the church paring lot when she sees what is supposed to be French people in the parking lot. She talks about they have so many interesting things they're doing, almost in an envious tone. As if I were being compared to them, she looked back at us.

I rolled my eyes at her conversation. I don't like it when I'm being compared to another person, especially those who people think are superior to me. It felt like a very real dream.



Dream 83: Top 5 Best Trucks In Zombie Apocalypse Media

A sort of "thinking to myself while making stuff appear" dream. I was thinking about the top five best zombie survival trucks, because of course. In the list were a taco truck, a regular ass pickup truck, among others. I then went over the reasons why trucks were the best option, none of which I agree with now that I'm awake.



Dream 84: Inside Rick's Supposed 'Shelter'

I saw a house in the distance. It had a large tower diagonal from it, which was spewing water. I went inside. In my mind, I thought it was house belonging to a guy named Rick, who apparently built it for the sake of surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Inside it was flooding, an inch of water on the floor. The house was brightly colored, almost like a children's' play area. All around me water was spewing from every angle. I saw a black cage where my two puppies where, I went over to pet them, but I didn't think to get them out. They were sopping wet from the water.

I also saw my dog Apollo not too far away. I pet him and scratched him under his chin, and looked back at the pups.


Dream 85: Dreamviews Dream

Some vague imagery of me using the Dreamviews site. Nothing much other than that.

Last night was kinda weird. I had less dreams, recall and lucidity than usual. I couldn’t understand why because I worked a good L D program. But I’ll just write them and not try to worry too much. I didn’t do any of the usual things that harm my dream abilities. Also couldn’t sleep past 5 or 6 A M even though I tried. Maybe it’s stress.

Sleep Cycle 1

Sleep cycle one I couldn’t really remember anything.

Sleep Cycle 2

Took me a while to be able to sleep.

Hiding

I dreamed that I was in my Nana’s living room. Hiding something from my Dad. He got home and I scrambled to hide it.

Caller

The land line was lighting up and ringing. It said some kind of unidentified caller. I considered answering in case it was someone I knew. But decided not to.

Untitled?

I dreamed that some people from high school saw me and said, “Oh, that’s Charles (they used my old nick name though). He’s back from hell.”

I felt cool about it. Like I was a “BAMF”. I was looking at my beard in the mirror.

Debt Collectors

2 people my age were kind of threatening me that if I didn’t pay a couple hundred thousand at once. Something bad would happen. I forgot what.

They also had some writing that explained how I had to stop being mean to people.

Helicopter

Two guys were flying in a helicopter. I was looking at them from where the wind shield would be. The guy on my right put the thing on auto pilot and went on the floor to sleep.

Pool

We eventually landed I guess and then ran a red light. We didn’t get in trouble.


Then one of the guys was asking me if he could get my key to the pool. I was like, well, I don’t have a key. I have a guest pass you could use.

Lucid Dreaming Class

There was something with a lucid dreaming class with Tim Post.

Sleep cycle 3

I dreamed of being in a computer lab or library computer room. I typed something in. The librarian came around like she was monitoring me. It didn’t come out typed how I meant to.

I had a ruler. I was measuring my forearm with it but not circumference. Just width.

It had wood and metal. I couldn’t find the right picture.

Something about something playing on my phone. It was a false awakening. I couldn’t move, then made a sudden shaking movement, which startled me physically.

That’s It!

Not as many dreams as usual. I had some more bits on my voice recorder but I will just leave them on the voice recorder. No reason to strain.

Date of Dream: THU 26 APR - 2018




Dream No. 316 - Separated Sections

Dream 316 A - Scary Multilevel Carpark
I don't remember how the dream started. From where I can remember, it was night time and my grandma were out in this unknown suburban area, supposedly a distorted version of Glen Waverley. We were heading towards the multilevel car-park and so I knew that there was going to be some encounter with lifts; therefore, I attempted to call for Dreamy WB in the time I had left.

I ended up calling out “Miss T!”. This dream made it so my grandma had the most Aussie accent ever, which sounded weird on her. She asked me, “Who's Miss T?”. Since my grandma wasn't anywhere near as harmful as my parents, I told my grandma “She's my dream guide, she's going to help me get to the car”. I kept calling out but there was no response.

Sooner rather than later, we reached the base of the car-park building and I said to myself that I had failed to summon Dreamy WB. Since I was without her, I walked up the stairs, trembling, hoping not to see any lifts nearby... I certainly felt the sense of isolation and vulnerability in me. Around the corner of the stair well, there was a giant lift door, giving me the fright of my life. I was trying to run past it but the dream forced me to be in slow motion. I had to get past before the door would open.

I thought that was the end once I passed it but what I only realised now was that the car was on the top floor, so that meant a further climb. I passed the lift door on the next floor and it was the same thing, trying to hurry away from it, only to be tortured into slow motion. After that, the dream ended there.

Dream 316 B - The Denying Lucid Dream Character (Lucid Dream 16)
The dream started with me heading the local park half way the distance between my old house and my current house. Just like I was a little child, I wanted to go for the swings. So I was swinging for a while and watching as the actual little kids started to walk up the grass, some with their parents and some without, and head for the play equipment.

Eventually, this lady who looked like a mum but didn't have any kids with her came to the park. There was a little boy with dark hair on the swing next to me and the lady offered to push him, she soon offered to push me as well and I quite enjoyed it. The lady eventually got into some friendly conversation with me, I forgot what it was about at the start.

Eventually though, the lady was telling me something about a feature of hers and this is when things started to feel funny. I forgot what the first thing was but the second thing she told me was that she had no nostrils. In an annoyed tone, I said “of course you have nostrils!” as I looked up at her nose; on the inside, I was thinking “how could someone be so dumb”. I was doing a series of reality checks not on myself but on the lady.

I end up saying out loud but more a tone towards myself, “hang on, this is actually a dream.... I'm dreaming”. The lady, who I worked out to have an American accent goes to me, “oh come on, you're not dreaming!”. I looked at her, scrutinising her, judging her, while I had my arms folded over. I then said to her in a quick, no-nonsense tone, “show me your fingers”. The lady lifted up both her hands and I slowly and carefully counted them.

The fingers were hard to count at first but soon I say to her, “you have eleven (11) of them! How can this not be a dream?”. The lady started to look mad now and really frustrated. I certainly knew about the dreaming situation now, so I decided to call out for Dreamy WB which is always the first step to the journey when I confirm that I am lucid. The lady turned from good to bad, I think she knew what I was up to and she had a plan to ruin my fun.

She tells me she hasn't got eleven fingers, she tells me instead “I've got three-hundred and eleven (311) of 'em”, followed by a cunning, evil grin”. Her fingers literally lengthen to be like tentacles and she also grows a few more. She then comes after me, trying to frighten me by tickling me with those supposed three-hundred and eleven tentacles. I try calling for Dreamy WB still as I battle to not let the scary tickling feeling get to me. I failed; the tickling was overwhelming and I was forced awake.

Dream 316 C - Beware The Panda King
I don't remember how the dream started. From what I can remember, I was at my other grandparents' house, mainly in their sitting room. What was taking place was sort of like a Mario Party event, four players like the actual game, two that I didn't know, and then there was Sly and the Panda King. The first two players took their turn as normal, hitting a floating dice and then doing whatever they had to do. When it became Sly's turn, he hit the dice and went over to “interact with the Panda King” who was situated near the front entrance of the house.

His interactions with the Panda King at the start were normal but as he took more turns, I noticed that things were starting to not feel right. The dream now acted in first-person mode from Sly's perspective. I am going to write the recap as if Sly was writing it:

So I roll the die a third time, just like the other times but on my way to the Panda King, I see three girls at the sliding door. It's Karla with her friends who she calls Leah and Jasmine. Karla looks worried and she tells me “Sly, Jasmine and I are here to warn you. Beware, the Panda King, he is up to no good”. So Leah must have come just now. Well, I certainly didn't heed her advice and I stayed well away from the Panda King.

I don't remember anything else about this dream.

When it began, I was going to the regional spelling bee (which I'm doing IWL ). My nerves were shaky, but it was happening. I was excited, especially since, in the dream, it was taking place in South Korea. My father and I were at SOU, where the spelling bee is being held IWL (it was still SOU, just... In Korea) and walking around campus when we found an adorable animal. It had a huge fluffy tail, little paws, and... A human face?!
However, we thought nothing of it. It was cute and that was all that mattered. It basically had a small, adorable, pinkish purple raccoon body- it seemed to love us, so we decided to take it home. The dream drifted away from the spelling bee, and I was sad that we had to leave Korea. So I came up with some better ideas.
In a Coraline-esque movie, I had seen a character say a poem, and go through a painting, taking her to another world. I decided to do that, and return to South Korea, so I could meet my idols. I remembered the four-line, rhyming poem, and noticed the painting leaning against the wall behind my bed. It contained lots of dark colors and red, reminding me of hell, or Hades. After I said the poem, I took a deep breath, and stuck my hand through the painting. It sucked me in, and I began to fall from about 6 feet up on a wall. The surrounding area was dark- certainly a hellish landscape. I was in a room, though. Albeit a large one. I felt a weirdly strong connection to Kim Taehyung at this point- mainly just thinking of his name. Anyways, as I exited, random dream characters were like "wHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE?? YOU'RE FROM THE MORTAL WORLD,, YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE DOWN HERE, PLEASE GO BACK, THIS PLACE IS CURSED," but I was just like "nah fuck u, im gonna go make out with [my favorite idol]."
This turned out to be a rather large building, but it was all comprised of the same materials, colors, and designs. I found an area which was supposedly [my favorite idol]'s room. His bed was red and black, and there were some dirty clothes scattered around it. I just... Sat there, waiting. Then I just decided to have a walk around this dimension until they kicked me out. Outside of the building, everything was pretty much normal, and I remember walking along a highway alone at night. It was kinda cool. Eventually I returned home, upset that I couldn't make out with [my favorite idol], so I decided to do it another way. A safer way. Lucid dreaming. (Pretty ironic, huh? I didn't even think to do a reality check right then and there.) I basically became lucid immediately, in a new landscape- which just so happened to be the main street of my current Town. I rubbed my hands together very frequently, amazed at how well that strengthened my hold on the dream. I decided to hunt down BTS, so I floated up, until I saw the town in a map view. In the Northeast area, rightwards of the town park, I saw a large square crowd of people with a few in front, on a stage. I assumed that it was them, holding a concert, so I flew over. However, there were NINE people in front, instead of seven. It wasn't them. My dumb ass didn't think to turn around and change them into BTS, but oh well. I don't really remember much after that. I'm happy to be having more LD's and that I used a lucidity strengthening technique, though.

Demon Knocking

I am watching a child with a dog in a forest. The boy approaches a house and peeks in a window. Apparently, he saw something he shouldn’t because he gets really shocked and scared. He runs away from the house with the dog following. Two men come out and give chase. The boy comes to a cliff where he can go no farther. The dog takes a different route, but the boy jumps off the cliff and lands in a lake below. The boy swims to shore and goes into a shop on the edge of the lake. The owner of the shop says the boy can hide there. Shortly later the dog finds its way to the store, and then one of the bad guys arrives. The bad guy gets angry when the store owner says he hasn’t seen the boy. The bad guy smashes a couple things then leaves in a rage.

The boy says he has to keep moving and goes out the back of the store. He runs into the bad guys in the forest. A man gets in between the boy and the bad guys. The man looks like the angel Jonathan Smith from the Highway to Heaven show. Jonathan tells the bad guys to leave the boy alone. The bad guys aren’t human, they transform into demons. They are saying something but I can’t hear what. Then the demons laugh and both demons disappear along with Jonathan. The boy continues through the forest to a cabin in the woods. He knocks on it and someone inside lets him in. I go to the cabin as well and they let me in when I say I want to make sure the boy is safe.

Inside the cabin the boy is telling a man and a woman about the demons and he also says Jonathan let the demons take him in exchange for leaving the boy alone, but the boy is certain they will pull some kind of trick and still try to get him. The man and the woman don’t believe him. There is something banging on the door. The boy says the demon is here. The man and woman are hesitant now. The thing banging on the door bangs harder and the entire wall gives way. There is a huge demon face there. I know it can’t enter without permission so I stand my ground and tell it that it is not invited in, and it can not enter. YOU CAN NOT ENTER!

The demon looks pissed but does not enter the cabin. It retreats through a portal. I follow the demon through the portal into what looks like the town in Silent Hill. There is no sign of the demon. I call to the demon, I call out and say I have come to challenge the demon for Jonathan’s soul. I tell it I know it has to answer such a challenge and it had better show itself now! There is a lot of smoke and then the demon materializes in the street, as tall as the surrounding two story buildings and glaring down at me. I focus on the song Battery by Metallica and call down bolts of white energy lightning on the demon. The demon throws fireballs at me but I deflect them with Whiplash by Metallica. This demon is weak, it never really had a chance. The demon gets mad and then says fine, Jonathan’s soul is too weak to be of any use anyhow. There is a swirl of darkness around me and the next instant I am back in the forest with Jonathan. I think he is about to say something but then I wake up.

I was part of a race with my buddies owen and moo. It started as a monster truck video game and then turned into some sort of ski race. I remember several mountains that we were going up and down. Specifically, there was a moment when we were going up a hill and it seemed impossible we were going to make it up like our tires were skidding in the process.
There were announcers and it turned out it was now between two people lasting up to 10 days. One of those people looked a little bit like a cross between walton goggins and steve carell. I remember being pretty surprised how someone could go day after day all day around this ski course. It seemed like more of an endurance track and whoever decided to quit would lose. At some point I imagined that guy being exhausted staying in a cabin every night and then going out and competing again. His opponent was the bad guy but it seems like he was also the opponent against himself.

Another part of that dream I was in a neighborhood with this redneck guy who was supposedly really rich. He was saying that he'd take care of us. The dream showed a building that had a bunch of materials that he sold to people. We'd go house to house and sell different things like gas tanks. The guy was speaking out loud checking items off of a list. It looked like we were in castle wood or atlee ridge on the other side coming up to owen's house.

Dream 1

I was in my art class trying to paint a almost perfect copy of a mango. I was using red to get the shape when i noticed that the paint was actually a dim glow in the dark type of paint. I was excited to see how it would look like when complete but than I became distracted with someone else's painting.(I didnt know paint like this existed but who wouldn't come up with that amazing idea^w^)

Next I recall being in a fast food restaurant. There were two guys working there handing out McDonalds breakfast sandwhiches. However, after one of them handed a lady with a child a sandwhich, the server made fun of how the bagel bread was not really bread and that what she was eating was something else. This was dissapointing to watch.

Afterwards I was in my old house yard where my dad, brother and I were planting plants in the yard. There was one specific plant that my dad said would remind me of my childhood. I looked at the plant and tried to fix a clump of dirt that was attached to the roots. When i finished with the plant i went somewhere else.

Dream 2

I entered a bus to tour a place with my family. I saw that there was a top part of the bus where people sat on seats that were attached to wires. Kind of like a ride. "Good thing theres a regular seating place" i mentioned to my bro than sat down.

We eventually arrived to a airport where my brother was planning to take to go home. I wanted to go but than i decided to stay longer to enjoy my vacation. When i walked away i ended up at my old home though where a group of strangers who knew my mom walked in saying it was their home.

Not wanting to argue about it, i left and as i was walking a dc approached me and began poking me a lot.
I became aware somewhat that it was a dream and ignored the dc till i noticed we were in a place surrounded by people from tailand. We were under a car repair shop. They made me think of the palace but i didnt quite grasp that i wanted to go there. So I turned around but than a dc asked me to enter a narrow place. "Why?" I asked. "So we can play a korean game. You go inside and we'll sing the song. It goes like this-" he replied back.

I did go in curiously but than went back out cause it was ridiculous. I ended up meeting a girl there wearing glasses, who was in a short light yellow green dress too. She was in the kitchen working as a cook there. She didn't want to be there but she kind of had no choice.

Last thing i recall is that the dream shifted to another old room of mine.I was fully aware it was a dream and saw a cousin step in and take out a mouse trap from the closet. "What are you doing?". I than followed them to the hall where they placed a mouse trap on the wall than walked away laughing.

Than the scene changed and i was in a dark void where a dc began telling me to draw a crocodile. I watched as its form changed till i was in a classroom. I saw some old friends and began to wonder what they were up to now. But that didn't last long till i appear in another room.In that room a dc was trying to scare me saying a 5 yr old ghost was following me but than i waited till the shadows approached and they turned into the children i use to see at a daycare where i assisted the teacher. I hugged them happyily than looked at what was the trolling dc. He kind of reminded me of Eye personality but he didn't have his form




Notes:I was hoping for a better dream but eh, it was an okay dream. I might buy glow in the dark paint someday to see what i can come up with.

An extension of a recurring dream. The company I am working for has a long standing contract with a company abroad and I am in charge of the paperwork.
I am responsible also for a key. The key unlocks a metal ornate grill then another door into a very old wooden building that looks Dickensian. I like the smell of the wood and it feels strangely comfortable in there despite the lack of modern conviences. It reminds me of my dad's workshop/shed but much bigger.
Initially I go there and am followed by thieves who follow me in but I manage to escape past them and lock them in. The police come and arrest them.
Next I decide to stay in the building as it would be rent free as long as nobody knows I am there. I spend time working out how I could survive there and sneak in and out without being noticed.
Then there is a party taking place there again with old fashioned people, almost like a western saloon with woman wearing big frilly dresses lol.

I was thinking about going home and knowing that my dad wouldn't let me borrow his car, i decided to take it anyways.(I wouldn't do this in WL)When i was driving I wasn't able to control the car properly though and ended up passing the stops. I was able to get control somewhat but than i noticed there was a older man digging up some dirt on the road. He looked suspicous so i changed direction.

The dream shifted after that and i was in a home in the country side. My dad was in the room and told me not to get up because he wanted to see who would come in. I told him i wasn't going to do that and got up to go outside.

The scene changed once again but i was inside another house that was dark and purple tinted. There i was approached by a old animated man who handed me a red metal rectangular case filled with red badges that were made out of shiny diamonds. I liked how bright they were. There was also a mewtwo figure present. I wondered why it was there but as i felt the hard cold figure i realised it had to be because the mewtwo pokemon movie had been important to me during my childhood. But did i really deserve all the badges? What was i getting them for?

When i exited the rectangular window i noticed i was in a pokemon like world where the islands were connected.
A blonde anime guy ended up flying towards me there as the sky became a yellow orange color.He told me that the places were connected for the purpose of helping me on my journey. I figured that that was the case since in pokemon ash ends up on the islands without much problems.i also got the feeling it was a dream here but i dont recall how long that lasted.

Last thing I recall was that i was waiting outside a classroom when I noticed a girl passing by. She reminded me of Jewl's avatar. I than looked down and noticed a red napkin on the floor. I picked up and used it to blow my nose. I liked the red color but now i was just being weird so i threw it out. Reminds me of when i read that charles ate something from his shoe.

Well after that i got up and noticed many blue windows on the walls. I picked up one that was detached on a table and placed it on a wall. A classmate from WL than came up to me and asked me what was wrong. I told her nothing was wrong and we entered the class. My teacher ended up talking about the things that make a person happy. Asking us to raise our hands if we got a 85 or 93 on our test. I raised my hand when he said 93.

Round 1 of Dreams

I recorded these dreams on my voice recorder. I remember being in my room at my old house and then going out the window. I couldn’t get back in through the kitchen because I hadn’t removed the screen. There were two little kids on bikes across the road. They went to go somewhere.

Then there was something about wanting to go to a pool. I was walking through a hallway eating tuna from a can. Then I wanted to go to a pool.

The dream time jumped back to 2:45 P M or so and suddenly the pool was closed? Kind of hard to explain. So I was mad.

Then I was at a cash register and trying to get into the pool still. Something about rolls of quarters. While I was still doing my transaction, a woman tried to get to the register. I was like wait I’m not done yet.

There were a few more things on my voice recorder.

Round 2 of Dreams
I had RLS so I got up to bike and stretch in the dark. Then I went back to bed and had 3 REM cycles before I dream journaled again. I chose to stay still because I thought I’d remember it all. I didn’t remember every bit but by the end of the 3 REM cycles, I had a good percentage.

REM cycle 2-a

My memory of this one started with my friend. And he asked me to watch something as he went in the bathroom.

Then there was a vitamin powder jar. I became lucid some how and asked a woman there if I could eat the last of the powder.

I woke up and thought those through. One more dream flash of a building.

Eventually got lucid in another dream which was with me and 3 friends in a study room. I was lucid again and telling everyone how I had won a game against my friend (S) in a previous lucid dream. (S) was the one next to me.

As Looked at him, he shape shifted into ( C ). I almost didn’t notice!

Then I was like… “Wait! (S) just shape shifted into ( C )! I caught you this time!” because usually people will shape shift and I will have no clue. I tried to will him to transform back to (S) but he just stared at me blankly. I started losing my voice. I tried to stay lucid but I woke up.

There was one more dream flash of a man wading through a lake.

REM Cycle 2-b

I dreamed in this one. I initially remembered it. But by the time I went to record, it was gone from my mind. I regretted that.

What had happened was I began to dream about an Asian woman. It was like we were dating or getting to know each other in the dream. I felt connected to her as time went on.

I remember remembering it at the time. But not when I finally recorded.

REM Cycle 2-c

There was a bunch of earlier parts to this dream chain. Especially involving the Asian woman. But just vague memories by the time I got to record them. This dream chain went on and on.

I remembered a Pokémon game where there was an elephant character (like Musshi) but he was a Pokémon trainer.

Then I remember being on a computer with a big screen next to me. Not lucid yet. Going to look something up on the computer while the Asian woman was up. Then she came back. I wanted to hide what I had looked up but the screen froze.

A blonde woman appeared and said something about how “I have to think about addiction in many different states of conciousness for it to finally sink in.” I understood what she meant.

I woke from that hoping to dream chain and apologize to my “dream girlfriend”.

I did a dream chain where I went out of body. I got up, not sure if I had gotten up physically. (It turned out I hadn’t.) I went to try using my computer. It was in the same place as my physical computer. Eventually I popped back into bed.

That was one thing from the TV.

I went out of body again. It looked like the sun was up. (I wasn’t in my physical body but thought I was again.) I popped back into bed suddenly.

Up out of body again. This time a car appeared to the left of my bed. Now its more of a dream.

I drove the car down a stair case and a hall way and out a door. Willing it to fit through the narrow space. Then I drove around the road. I was lucid. So I put out my hand and stopped cars at will. It was kind of fun.

That dream ended but I hadn’t woke up yet. I was in a grocery store. “Oh, another dream,” I thought. “I have had enough. I will just close my eyes and be in my bed,” I thought, as I looked at a little cartoon thingy. An older woman walked by me.

But JUST before I closed my eyes… To my right, on the counter… A TRAY OF DONUTS APPEARED. I was like, “WAIT!! DON’T WAKE UP YET!!!” And some how the dream lasted long enough for my to go grab a donut.

I chose a tan colored one, thinking it was like a coffee or cinnamon flavor. There were all sorts of colors donuts with various sprinkles.

A guy walked by me and grabbed a piece of donut. Ripped it right off the donut in my hand! He was like, “Wasn’t that weird? That I just did that?” But I was lucid. So I was like, “No, not at all, bro! Come on, let me buy you a coffee!”

Another woman walked by. I was like, “Hey, let me buy you an ice cream shake!” And ice cream shakes appeared on the counter. She kept walking LOL.

I totally forgot to apologize to my “dream girlfriend”.

I woke up back in bed but still not done dreaming. Went out of body again. This time it was kind of dim. There was a creature there.

At first it scared me. Bound to run into something that scares me when crossing dimensional barriers. But I decided to embrace it some how. I woke up before anything else happened.

Then I was in my bed… but it was still a dream! (I didn’t know it then). There was light coming in, and the sound of rain drops. I stayed still and tried to remember the dream, not knowing I was still in a dream!

When I woke up in Physical Matter Waking Consciousness it was not raining and I knew that the rain drops had been a dream.

Notes

I didn’t really feel like typing these but I’m glad I did. Some days I don’t feel as motivated to type them. Other days it is effortless.
