non-lucid

This series of 'dreams' happened while I was drifting in and out of consciousness, and as such I had some minor control over the plot. I could recall the plot of the last dream, and the next dream would usually somewhat share narrative threads with the previous ones.

I'm on a derelict cargo ship of sorts, and it's being attacked by a blob-like Thing. The creature is made of a kind of organic, living 'liquid' capable of taking any shape. Its 'skin' is a luminescent orange. When shot or otherwise injured, the dead tissue turns a dull grey and the dead liquid turns hard in that spot. However, the creature could regenerate, and much faster than we could injure it. I'm pretty sure it could assimilate organic matter is touched, too. It grew in size until it was like a giant kraken enveloping the ship completely, its limbs even going inside the vessel, through its hallways. I thought that the only thing to do was perhaps nuke it. The creature, and especially the orange luminescence, was based heavily on the Uroboros virus from Resident Evil 5 and Revelations 2, a game I'd played the day before.

I was chased into my old family home by a Thing, but this one was sapient. It was like a combination of Pennywise and The Thing. I was more of an observer in previous dreams, but now I'd caught their attention. I ran upstairs, into my old room, and through the window. I jumped out into the farmer's field below. The Thing had take the form of a dinosaur-like creature, like a kind of Velociraptor. I knew I was likely screwed, as the field was a wide open space and the raptor would surely run faster than me. Luckily, I drifted close to consciousness in that moment, and I could switch the dream to the next scene.

This one took place in a forest, and involved a guy and a girl he loved. At some point, the girl was taken by 'It', into a bunker. The bunker door closed behind them, and I knew a nuke was going to go off any time now and wipe him (and everything else) out. At this point, the line between genuine dream and waking fantasy blurred. I 'saw' or 'fantasized' a scene, years later, where the guy was on a motorcycle, riding on a long road through a desert wasteland, accompanied by a band of bikers/resistance/survivors who had picked him up after the previous scene with the girl. I felt pretty sure that later in the plot, he'd meet the girl again.

Yay I'm back!

My dreams this week focused on my old job that I had in Lakewood. I think this stems from almost having an interview for a job there last week.

Times I went lucid - 1/2


Monday January 29th - Had a couple of different dreams. I was laying on the coach of the house I grew up in. There was some sort of event going on. I had a weird cyst on my leg. I was trying to pop it. Eventually I was able to get it open by scratching it. When it opened this tiny white spider came out. After that I ended up tearing the whole cyst, and these white stringy things that looked like a bundle of nerves came out. I pulled it all out, and I ended up with this huge tear in my leg. I had to go to the hospital and get it sewn up.

In another dream I was at my grandma's house. People from work were there, along with Bill Skarsgard and Alexander Skarsgard. We were all sitting at the kitchen table. We were talking about stuff, and I remember being attracted to Bill. I did talk to Alex and flirted with him a little. My head was on his shoulder. I went to the bathroom, and at this point I went a little lucid, and I didn't have much control. Initially, I wanted to summon Bill into the room with me, but I just ended up making out with a piece of paper. I do remember at other points in the dream Bill had his arm around me, and vice versa.

In another part of the dream, there were these girls that were making fun of other girls, treating them badly and harassing them. A girl that I used to work with (We'll call her Janine) was one of those mean girls. She was trying to get into the bathroom I was in, but I ended up beating her up and throwing pizza that she had onto the floor. I felt really bad after.

Tuesday January 30th -

I dreamed about my old job. I went to visit there. The area looked like a combination of what it looks like in the real world, and what it looked like in my dream past. Mostly everybody that was there when I left was there in the dream. One girl, we'll call her Jenna, was present in the dream and still working there, although in real life she's no longer there. She came up from behind me and gave me a hug. We talked about some stuff, which was weird because I was never close to her in real life. Then Janine was in the dream as well. I saw her, and I did not say anything to her. She had blonde poofy hair in the dream, when in real life she has brown hair.

There was a part where this couple came into the office. I knew them in dream world, and they both worked there. They were taking pictures around the office. The man had to use a band-aid for his hand. I was going to go to the back of the office to grab a band-aid, but Janine followed me saying "No, no, no you can't get one," and she was quite bitchy about it. I told her that this was why I didn't work for the company anymore. We started going back and forth, telling her that even though the place I work at now is more hard-core with employee relations, the guys there were still better then the group there. I told her about how great my office counterparts were, and that there were men that actually work in the building, including a cute one who is now a lawyer.

Thursday, February 1st

Couple of random dreams. One that I remember is that I was at the Laurel Mall, and this was where my current job was located. Rhonda (Not real name) and another girl were working there. The other girl only worked there in dream world. She was a light skinned young black woman, and she was an HR admin. We were all sitting near the old pizza area. Loretta (Not real name) was there as well, and talked to us about having to speak to someone about a change of rate in pay. Rhonda asked her to have the conversation about the pay with people. The admin got really upset and started crying because she didn't want to do it. She then asked me if she really had to, since she was an admin and maybe should not be privy to that information. I told her that since Loretta brought it up to all of us, that yes she would be able to do that. She started crying again. Her mom and dad then showed up to try to comfort her. Her mom was actually a woman that work there.Her dad tried to comfort her.

In another dream, Bill Skarsgard was around, and had his shirt off.

Car WTF


Just leaving a snowy trailer park in a car with my brother driving. The road we were on was suddenly vertical. Thought for sure we were going to fall to our death but my brother hit the gas hard and we made in up the road to safety.

Waverly Hills

Had a Dream I was traveling to explore Waverly Hills Sanitorium. I was in a city going over an overpass walking. I had the main key to get in. I got to the right bus stop. Suddenly I'm walking into the fence where Waverly Hills is and a lady from work was standing there and said rudely it was about time I got there. I looked at my watch and it was the right time.

I opened the gate and let a whole bunch of people in with cameras. Some were close friends and another one was James from youtube. The place also was renovated to have personal hotel like rooms. Me and James dumped a bunch of stuff off in our room. He vanished for a while and then I found him hiding in a closet looking scared. I asked him if he was going to film a video with us later. He said, "No bro, I'm too depressed right now." Or something to that effect.

Next Thing I remember was walking downstairs with my group of people. I noticed the halls looked newly renovated. It reminded me of the Omargoshtv video i seen of the place where he mentioned they were going to renovate waverly hills and turn it into a restaurant hotel. We all gathered in a dining room. I sat with Jamie, people were talking loud. There was an east indian girl sitting across from us but I recognized asuka in her. Asuka started yelling at me and Jamie and told Jamie that I was very insecure about getting older and that I already have wrinkles so don't bother finding him again in waking life. Asuka had a mean look on her face. I got up and left the table and ran up some really strange stairs and landings that went all over the place. At some point I passed Aldosworldtv and noticed he had a g7x camera. I was back in my room Jamie was there. I Told Jamie that Asuka is lying I wasn't even worrying about any of that. Jamie kept saying, "I know I know, she's not well,"

When I woke up. I Saw James had a new video of the stanley hotel. There's a part in the video where he goes to the most haunted room and hides in a closet where a ghost touches you apperently. And it was the exact same closet from my dream and he had the exact same expression. Here's his vid :

Snakes at a campground
I'm walking around at a campsite. We've just arrived, and I'm making sure there's no dangerous wildlife. I'm especially on the lookout for snake tracks - I have an app which can identify what kind of snake left a track. So far, I've only seen tracks left by snakes that are safe. Now I'm on some trails a little further away, and I'm seeing snakes lying on the trail. Unfortunately, the app can't identify snakes, only snake trails, so I have no idea if they're dangerous or not. I've heard rumors that there are dangerous snakes in this area, so since I can't identify what these are I'll have to tell the kids to be extra-careful.

Now I see an ambulance pull up to a nearby house. Now I'm talking to an old man and ask him if the ambulance is snake-related, but he tells me it's not. He goes on to tell me a story about killing a rattlesnake during a large party. He says that someone took a video, and I ask him to send it to me.

Bowling alley check-out
I'm standing at the counter in a large bowling alley waiting to check out. I've got a stack of membership cards - one card for each person in my family - and I'm waiting for the clerk to finish up another task. Now I'm talking to him, saying that I only come to this bowling alley in the summer because they offer such a great out-of-school plan; but I go to another one during the rest of the year even though it's not nearly as nice because it's so much cheaper. I hand over my cards, and there's some confusion about whether I had multiple lanes or not and whether or not this discount membership lets me have more than one.

Fragments
I'm outside tagging along with a friend. I follow him onto a conveyor belt, but somehow we get separated and I end up somewhere I don't want to be.

I'm deep inside an enemy fortress, and I see some guards patrolling in the next room.

Yesterday Dream(non lucid)

Someone came up to me who look almost like Eye, asking to see my dream guide. I said no because i wasn't sure if he was secretly a spy who wanted to beat him up.

Last night Dream (non lucid)

I was...making music or singing...Next thing...im with my birds until a scene of edward elric pops up and he is sitting outside a facility in the outskirts of town. He is told there that he passed with an A from doing his own sugery on his arm and surviving although he almost messed up. He is happy and smirks although he is aware of almost messing up.

Got lucid and spent some time doing mind control. This evidently shows I feel really powerless in RL as I do this so much.

Next there was some guy in a rice bowl hat, who I felt really fear and then hatred towards. Some other of my comrades were distracting him. So I shot up into the air super high then plummeted down at supersonic speed, crashing down onto his head.
He was smacked down into the earth, so only his head and neck stuck out of the ground. I then proceeded to try and kill him by using a giant scissor style sword to cut his head off. Then fire etc but none of these worked and I had a growing fear of his escape and retribution.

Date of Dream: SUN 4 FEB - 2018



Dream No. 277 - Separated Sections

Dream 277 A - Six Brawlers And A Girl
I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was witnessing this huge Super Smash Brothers-like tournament taking place on the grounds inside a huge hall. It was a mixture of every single video game character you could think of, not just Nintendo and Sega. I remember seeing Mario, Rosalina, Peach, Sonic, Yoshi, as well as some of the Sly Cooper characters and then all these other miscellaneous characters that I don't know the name of.

Now here's the weird bit... Murray wasn't one character. In fact, if you chose to play as Murray, you'd be controlling six of him! There was though, one main entity to be identified as Murray. The main one out of the six looked like Murray from Sly 1 but he had the red mask on him like in Sly 2 and 3. Another Murray was in the complete shaman look from Sly 3. Then there were two other big figures but I have forgotten their exact appearance. To complete the team of six, there were these two tiny Murrays who wore nothing, not even an accessory. They kind of reminded me of when Murray was a child, just the small black beady eyes pasted onto this blank pink canvas.

The scene had skipped to before the next tournament. I was aboard what claimed to be Skabb's ship. When I saw Murray coming out of one of the the rooms on the deck, I picked myself up and ran after him, trying to catch up to him and then quietly follow him to the arena. In this scene, the main Murray's appearance was completely an accurate replica from Sly 2 and 3. The arena was on the bottom floor, so as he jumped off the stairs, there was a huge thump dream camera shook violently. I only made my presence known once we were on the arena.

For the first part, I was still quietly tip-toeing behind Murray. It's when he finished consulting the other five in his team and went towards the official that I ran a bit faster and caught up to give him a quick, tight hug. He wasn't startled and rather just continued walking obliviously to the official. He then spoke to the official, who was just a real-life human stranger lady sitting in a chair with a clipboard on her lap... I figured he must have been enrolling his six-muscle team in for the next tournament. The lady shook his hand and then turned to me who was standing next to Murray but also behind him, kind of like in a diagonal position.

The lady gave Murray a look like 'who is she?'. Murray looks over at me in a confused kind of way but instantly gains a confident tone and says, “That's my assistant”. I gave the lady a wide smile and went up to her to shake her hand as she scribbled on the clipboard with the other one. I then walked next to Murray as he introduced me to the rest of the Murrays in the team. After having a team photo with the girl in the spearmint nightie (that's me) in the middle, the dream ended.

Dream 277 B - Heavy Traffic
I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was around the vicinity of Chadstone Shopping Centre. I forgot exactly what I was doing. I remember that I was trying to get some people to specific area on time and at the rate we were going, we were going to be late. In the dream, I didn't drive a car but rather I was the car, I flew down the streets myself and people were connected to me by invisible energy. At one point, the homepath guy was also connected.

When I was just outside the shopping centre, LB (WB's younger sister) was walking around there. I heard her saying something along the lines of that she couldn't get home. I went up to LB and I said to her, “LB, I can take you home; I can travel as fast as a car”. She said nothing to me but I knew that she accepted my offer. So I got into a sitting position and when LB climbed onto me and then sat herself on my lap, I locked her in with my arms... The exact same way as Dreamy WB transports me in other dreams.

With LB securely locked in place, I flew in the sitting position along the roads I originally came down. No one else was with me now, it was just her. Eventually, there were all these other people in the sitting position, being one-person cars for other dreamers, just like me. There were these traffic lights on the road that us dream-cars had to abide by; so we were all banked up in two very long lines, me being in the shorter one but right at the back. The traffic lights had eventually gone green but people were extremely slow to move off. There was no horn to press; my voice was the horn. So I yelled out a simple “Beeeeep!”, across the road and all the traffic started picking up in pace again and finally clearing off.

I was now by myself and LB wasn't with me. I was travelling along some deserted roads, heading into a different area. The traffic lights were worse as well, with these ones, if you went through them and they were red, they would actually kill you. I found myself feeling pressure all over my body and I wondered why, I soon figured out I wasn't behind the line. I saw a car in the distance going though the light when it was red and a fence switched on with all these red lasers on it. When the dreamer drove through that, they were toast.

As I got more and more down the road, the traffic lights got weirder and weirder. The light was constantly red and I thought to myself, “When is it ever going to go green?”. It was green but only for a millisecond and then it suddenly switched back to red again. The traffic lights weren't circular posts anymore either, they were now laser fences that went across the road like some access gate. The weirdest traffic lights were at the bridge of terrain connecting to the area of snowy China like in the Sly Cooper games... I was no longer in Chadstone anymore.

The whole Cooper gang appeared at the next set of lights. These ones stayed red for longer than previously and the green was so quick. Bentley made a comment about the lights but I forgot what it was. I think he was trying to work out a way to get through them but not even his brains were quick enough for the limited time they were green. I actually thought of something myself and just by using the power of thought, I set the dream to slow-motion. I told them to jump through as soon as possible. The order they jumped through the green lasers were Sly, Bentley, Murray, Penelope, Carmelita, Me, and then the Panda King.

Once the slow motion had ended, the Panda King was shown profusely crying like a baby. Apparently he didn't make it and the red lasers were onto him. The dream then showed Clockwerk flying towards us and he had apparently corrupted the Panda King and his body. That weird dream ended there.

As of tomorrow, classes are starting again for me. So if you're wondering where I am, study is back. Dream entries will be posted when I can but if you don't see them any time soon, they will be posted in bulk.

Yet another bathroom dream
I'm in a huge, fairly crowded bathroom. Dual sinks are in front of me, a wall is to my right, and a door is behind me. A long hallway extends to my left, and it Tees back to the right just past the sinks. Beyond the T is another door. Everything is very white.

There's a thin layer of water on the counters and floor. I need to wash my hands, but I'm holding an armful of clothes and there's nowhere I can put them that they won't get wet. As I'm trying to figure out what to do, a janitor calls through the door that's further away from me asking if anyone's in here. She quickly realizes that there are lots of people in here, but she calls out that she'll wait for me - calling me by name! I don't understand why she'd pick on me specifically, or how she even knew that I was in here. Now I realize it's someone I know*, which explains how she knows me but not how she knew I was here. Now I'm talking to someone about her father, though it takes me forever to remember that his name is LH* (which, IRL, it isn't.). He died while she was engaged and never got to see her married (not IRL).


Counseling center
I'm driving around outside the building with the bathroom. I pass more than one entrance, each with its own large sign above the doors, and I realize the whole structure is broken up into multiple counceling centers, each with its own focus (e.g. one for moms, one for dads), but all run by the same people. After rounding the building, I find myself slightly lower down and at a dead-end. I'm not sure how that geography worked, but I know I'll have to turn around to get out.

Helping a coworker
I'm in my cube working with a coworker who has a terrible hunchback. I've talked to him online for years, but this is the first time I'm meeting him in person. He's having build problems, and I suggest using Git's bisect to track them down. He's familiar with the idea but has never used bisect before, so I walk him through it. Eventually, he thanks me and leaves. I check the time and see it's past time to head home, so I immediately shut down both computers and head out.

Snack time
I'm in some combination of pantry and kitchenette. I grab some chocolate chips, then some little candy bars, and put them in the front pocket of my church shirt. The pocket bulges, and I hope no-one notices.

Martian building
I'm looking at a building on Mars. For a building on another planet, it's really pretty boring, just a rounded cube shape, kind of an off-white in color. I know that something needs to be cut away from the outside. Now I'm looking at it again. The modifications have been made, and there's a bluish force-field running down the middle of the structure along with sensors which can tell when someone's about to reach it and turn it on and off.

Fragments
Something about Chef (configuration management) recipes and a young woman

Something about the white van

I had a dream that I had a lonnnnnnnggg time ago. It was from when I first moved into a flat with my current partner. In the dream we have a weird looking apartment that is somewhere a long way from my work but is cheap to stay at as its rented from my brother.
So weird Oo

Tryna build my recall. As I write this entry I find myself remembering little glimspses of other dreams from the past few days. I won't bother trying to record them but I'll take it as a good sign. I can't even remember this morning's dream in a linear fashion, it's just an explosion of glimpses in my mind.

In my dream, I was in my old job. I've had a few dreams with this particular element in it over the past few months. I also owned my last (late) car again. I drove about in my car before and after work, just like I did in real life. I smoked in the car, just like I used to.

I was late to work, just like I used to be. But I was more late than usual. In fact this lateness has happened in every dream about my old work. I only vaguely remember dropping shopping off to customers.
I remember driving about Glasgow in the work van filled with customer shopping. But only briefly.

I remember a massive element of this dream was "The void" which I've been referring to a lot IWL in my efforts to spread enlightenment. I was teaching people enlightenment throughout the entire dream.

I remember being in my car with an old friend, we were smoking. We went somewhere, I can't remember where, but I was getting later and later for work. I think I eventually said "screw work!" or something along those lines.

Note to self:
I am noticing "The Void" more and more in-dream. This is really good, it means my enlightenment is truly sinking in. But I have a feeling I can take this further and use it as a sleep/dream yoga. Especially when lucid. I seem to wake up a lot when noticing The Void. I often refer to enlightenment as "super lucidity", so it makes sense. I get super lucid and wake up.

Date of Dream: SAT 3 FEB - 2018



Dream No. 276 - MYER Is My Store

I don't remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was in a MYER store again, this time looking at Dangerfield clothes with my mum. I forgot exactly what we were doing but we couldn't take long in the Dangerfield section as we had to meet my dad and brother somewhere soon. We ended up meeting them at the MYER cafe but I forgot what we did in there.

In the next scene, my family are not with my anymore. I went back to the Dangerfield section and got lost, so I was trying to find them again. I end up reaching this canyon-like thing and when I look down, I see the other three members of my family. There was no way to get down, no stairs, ramps, or anything else. So called out, “Dreamy WB! Please, help me get down there!”. Once again, she came straight away and in holographic form.

Although I couldn't see her completely, I felt like I was pushed off the top storey and I was now levitating downwards in a sitting position. From her energy, I figured out that I was sitting on her lap as she rode me down like a rollercoaster car but much slower until my feet found the ground again and I became independent. That's all I can remember about this dream.



Dream Trophies Achieved:

I was in my Art class with a large encyclopedia, which I am assuming was at least 800 pages in size. I wasn't sure if any of the information was accurate, so I decided to go on the website of the encyclopedia. HORRIBLE MISTAKE. Upon being on the site, the whole screen went black and text showed up that said "this site is good" and a rapidly color changing ball bounced around the screen. There were also white lines that had a similarly colorful trail, as well as the whole screen changing hues. I couldn't close the site, not because of endless dialog boxes like in real life, but just because it didn't work. After that, the visuals cut to a music box, or at least a box with a spinning handle like an early 20th century music box. It was on a desk with countless other stuff like maps, bottles, and jewelry. The music box had a problem with the handle and stopped with the front of the handle facing the front of the box, but kind of down. What the thing was playing sounded like the transition periods between variations of excerpt C in The Chosen Priest and Apostle of Infinite Space by Bull of Heaven. It stopped very briefly for as long as the handle stopped, and then it would heave forward. The stopping periods were separated by about 2.5 seconds of music. After this happened, I ignored it and went to a simulation of Ed, Edd, N' Eddy in an Egyptian pyramid. I was controlling eddy. It felt kind of like VRChat. We passed through a corridor and found a tomb. I went back to the website and went to a friend at my school, who we'll call A. He checked it out, and it managed to disguise itself as a sound testing application. He said there was nothing to worry about, and when I went back to it, it continued the madness. After this happened, I gave up and saw Ed. I managed to convince Ed that he was some kind of evil vampire thing, and I said in eddy's voice as we left the classroom, "do you have anything to do?" and he replied with a maniacal Ed like laugh. I am honestly surprised the dream didn't end in an Iris-in and a transition to waking up.

I'm in some sort of institution -- I can't recall exactly what it was but it resembled some sort of summer camp. Disturbingly, there was an entire room filled with screen upon screen of porn.

I recall, later, I met this girl and we both escaped from this facility over a fence. We reached this small artificial river which, according to her, was usually charged with high-voltage electricity (I watched a movie earlier that night involving an electric eel, so that might have caused this image to appear.) She later claimed it wasn't on today.

At some point we reached a mall, and we were acutely aware that someone was after us -- I don't remember who. The mall was donut-shaped (sort of like the Hirshhorn Museum in DC). We were disappointed by the second floor, and I don't remember how; something about it being bland. My aunt was there at some point. I vaguely recall having to disguise myself with the girl.

This all faded out. Unrelated scene in the dream, later:

Me, my brother and sister, and my friend were looking for a place to eat. We step into Glory Days -- a sports bar+grill we have nearby -- and a woman at a desk tells us they're having deals because our local team (Redskins) won a game.

Oddly, she gave us coca-coca bottle caps and told us to use them as coins in some sort of coin pusher arcade game. I don't think I won anything.

At some point, I was flinging myself around a neighbor's yard in some sort of bungee system. In the dream I had a crush on some girl, though I don't remember who it was supposed to be, if anyone in particular.

Vague snippet of me and friends watching movies in our basement.

Some sort of delivery to our house?

At this point, either I woke up or can't remember.

AWAKE/NOTES DREAM SEMI-LUCID LUCID

I had a nightmare today, which is strange I think because I haven't had one in months. I had a bad day yesterday, so maybe that's why I had it, who knows.

I am in a building and I think I am a hostage. I feel very unsafe and scared. I see an open window and jump out. If I am dead they have no use for me. The air is nice and cool, and I feel very relaxed as I speed to my death.

I "respawn" as someone else. I am in an elevator with a few teenagers and I feel uneasy. They make one teenager go out of the elevator at one level and we hear him die as we go up. The teenagers laugh. We get to our level, and we have to tie some people up. I start tying a big guy up but then some people come in and we become the ones who get tied up.

I am lying in a bed, tied up. I want to get out of bed and jump out of the window. There is a guard outside of my room, in the hallway, and when I try to move a pillow falls on the floor and the guard turns around. I keep still and he stops looking at me. Carefully, I get out of bed and go up to the window. I open it and feel the cool air rush in, fresh like freedom and cold like death. It is dark and I can't see what's below me but it is definitely a few stories high. I squeeze myself through the window and fall to my death… but when I hit the ground, it doesn't hurt as much as I thought it would, and I am still conscious. I realise that I survived the fall, and I start running, before someone finds me and kills me. I see some police officers in the distance and I run towards them and they seem friendly, although I am not sure at first. There is one lady police officer and I try to talk to her. She seems to be busy with her own stuff but eventually agrees to help - she tells me a room number. I go into a building and try to look for it. I find my mum in a hallway, and at first she says we can stay in this building, but then she walks down the corridor, sees someone and says we should drive somewhere far away. I go get my shoes and flannel, since it is cold outside, and I try to do this quietly, but then I hear the toilet flush and I quickly hide in a room. I try to hide behind the door, but it slams closed for some reason, very loudly. I put my back against the door to stop anyone from coming in. Someone starts trying to open the door, and eventually are able to come into the room. It is a male police officer, and he has a gun. I try to take the gun or point it away from me but I am not strong enough, and I die and wake up.

Morning of February 2, 2018. Friday.



I find myself in an unknown and unfamiliar location, though as my dream self, I do not think of it as such. Zsuzsanna is present in the majority of scenes, which involve my usage of a raygun in an unusual activity.

At first, only sparks come out. I find myself in an unfamiliar room where an unknown female (of about thirty) sits near a desk. As I aim it upwards at nothing in particular, sparks fly out and one lands on the female’s knee, which apparently hurts. I apologize for this, but when the sparks land on me, they create a pleasant sensation.

In most other scenes, I am outside, though under some sort of shelter with industrial implications of which include a convergence of many different horizontal and vertical pipes. There is a square opening through the ceiling and roof of no more than one foot by one foot. I have an unusual false memory that the moon powers the gun, but I only use it to fire upward. I stand in one area, aiming it through the opening in the ceiling. Over time, the miniature radar dish at the front of the gun starts shining when I hold it upward in a certain position that apparently reflects the moon’s light. I do not actually see the moon at any point.

I perform this act a number of times. It seems to make my dream more vivid each time. I go to a different area that has a smaller opening, hold my gun upward, and move it about until I see the moon shine on the miniature radar dish in a circular fullness and then I pull the trigger. The beam of light that emerges is about an inch in diameter.

There eventually seems to be a vague backstory, based on an emergent false memory, relating to a recent alien invasion, though there is no hint of any impending threat. I aim the gun at another part of the ceiling in the realization that it will destroy the structure. I wake with the perception that I had accomplished the defeat of a supposed alien threat.

Explanatory supplement (Saturday, 3 February 2018): This dream occurs by way of liminal dream control, which means that my dream self is habitually acting out the dynamics of oneironautics (which represents the nature of the dream state, not waking life) without being actively aware that the environment and situation is of the dream state as with conscious-self-based lucidity. This is based on autosymbolic cues from subliminal threads of the conscious self identity. This should be obvious from how my dream self’s actions vivified the dream state even though my dream self’s motive from the outset was not clear. My dream self eventually focused on destroying the alien building. This was the liminal space barrier between my dream self identity and my conscious self identity, the opening in the ceiling being autosymbolism for my dream’s potential exit point back into viable consciousness. (It was somewhat small, which is moot, as the entire building was apparently gone at the waking point.) The miniature radar dish, glowing more over time and producing more energy and a wider beam of light, signified the increase in neural activity as the emergent consciousness implementation.

This invalidates the asinine belief that the conscious self experiences something that must be “interpreted” solely in conscious self terms, incorrectly assumed as “from the subconscious” (rather than correctly understood as RAS mediation between the transient dream self identity and the conscious self identity). It is the dream self that is the subconscious, which is coalesced by way of RAS (Reticular Activating System) into consciousness through the waking transition, which is what a dream is (which most people have no understanding of).

Additionally, Zsuzsanna’s dream showed threads of associations with my dream in the very common but inexplicable (by society’s beliefs) patterns. This is evidence that RAS mediation is transpersonal, and distance does not seem to matter (as this was occurring before I even met Zsuzsanna, and we had grown up on opposite sides of the world).
