Non-Lucid Dreams
2017, 10-25 Game of Dreams – Night Assault I am in a Game of Thrones world, but this time I am not inside one of the characters there. I am myself, Raven Knight. I look around and see that I’m in a town seems to be mostly on fire. There is clearly an attack underway. I hear the sound of voices not far off. I followed those voices. I see there is a fortress near the center of town. That is obviously where people go to stay safe from attack. There are numerous warriors standing outside of the main gate. The one that appears to be their leader is yelling at a guy up on the walls. I recognize the guy on the wall as the one who is collecting new members of the Knight’s Watch. His name is Yarin. I also remembered that he seems to assume everyone will honor the fact the Knight’s Watch doesn’t take any side in a war. I know that to be bullshit. The leader of the enemies calls up at Yarin that he should open the gates in the name of King Joffrey. Yarin says that the Knight’s Watch does not take a part in their wars. But that doesn’t seem to matter to the guy in the armor. Yarin says he will not open the gates. The asshole leader of the bandits, bandits fighting for the Lannister‘s, says that makes them traitors to the true king. He orders his people to assault the walls and kill everyone inside. At this point I step out and walk right up to the gate. I am between the enemies and the gate. I tell them that they will not be able to assault the walls until they get past me. There is some laughter at that. The leader mocks me and asks what a little girl is going to do to keep them from getting into the fortress? I told him the only little girls around here I see would be him and his people, the one to seem to enjoy murdering children. Oh, and for the record, I personally think Joffrey is an ass and a bastard. The leader orders everyone there that they should kill me and then assault the walls. Before they make their move I ask them, is that your whole plan? Kill me? Because it’s not that easy. A couple of them come up to just clear me out of the way easily. It is not easy. I use the song Warriors by Disturbed. “I am now an instrument violence! I am a vessel of invincibility! I will not leave this undecided, stepping down to battle another day!” As they come in attack I form my right arm into an Alex Mercer blade. They have some pretty good armor on… and my Alex Mercer blade cuts through it as if it was tinfoil. I cut down three enemy soldiers that came forward to kill me. “Surrender now or be counted with the endless masses I will defeat! I am one with the warrior inside!” Their leader says that’s an interesting blade I have fitted over my arm. He asks if I really think I can take on all of them by myself? A man’s voice says I don’t have to. I turn and look to see Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad. Now there is an Alex Mercer and an Assassin fighting them. One of them asked Altaïr who the fuck he is? He just says that they wouldn’t know him, but now they’ll never forget him. The Warrior by Disturbed continues. “Our dominance can’t be denied, the entire world will turn into a battlefield tonight! As we look upon you with warrior’s eyes, we can see the fear that will ensure our victory tonight!” Altaïr and I fight. The enemies are unable to stand before us. Altaïr also has some ranged weapons. I’m not sure what they are. But they knock enemies off of their horses without harming the horse. I am also aiming at the enemies on the horse, not the horses. I don’t want to hurt horses. Just as the song is ending it seems that the enemies have decided they’ve had enough. Many of them are dead, and the rest of them are retreating. Now Yarin calls to us and asked which King were fighting for? I tell him we’re not fighting for any king. Altaïr says were fighting to protect the ones that all the kings seem to forget about. We are fighting to protect the innocent. I comment that I don’t think they will be bothered again this evening. But if someone comes back, then I’ll be back to. I look around in the burnt village for a bit. I am thinking that I want to find cats, so I wander off. Searching near the lake, I find a mother cat and some newborn kittens. They are stuck between a burning building and the lake. I scoop up all of the kitties. I pick them up in a basket that they were laying on as a bed. So now I have a mother cat and five kittens in a basket. It is about here that I wake up.
2017, 10-25 Back to School Daze I am at Pima Community College heading to my class. It is a computer animation class. There are a lot of people standing around outside right now. And there is a serious weed problem. I’m not talking about the drug. I’m talking about plants. A strange plant has been growing out of control. It is a plant that looks kind of like human hair. It is blocking the pathways in some places. People who want to get by have to grab large chunks of it and throw it out into the desert. It isn’t hard to pull up, and I am actually thinking that this part of the plant is already dead. It looks like serious fire hazard. I am thinking we should try to do something about it, but right now my class is going to start. So I find the correct classroom and go in. I sit down at a computer that has some 3-D animation software running on it. There are some premade models already in the scene. It actually already looks pretty cool. I see a planet, moon, lots of stars, and a person. A character model looks like Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad from Assassin’s Creed. I am just messing around before class, and I stand Altaïr on the moon. The model of Altaïr is much too large compared to the moon. When I pull him too close to the moon, he automatically bends his legs. I am thinking that my work isn’t very good, because I see someone else working on their project and they have some weird space entity that is eating up all of the other objects. But they don’t seem pleased with it, so I guess that’s not what they wanted to do. My computer does strange things. More models appear. There are now two characters and three moons. The new character looks like Desmond from the Assassin’s Creed series. He is trying to balance on the smallest moon. He fails to do so, and falls right out of the monitor into the room with us. I am sitting there looking at him, he is on the floor next to my seat. All I can think to say is, Desmond! You’re real! I wake up in bed and get up. I am thinking that I have to go to school. I go out into the other room where my mother is watching television. It looks like she is watching an old episode of MacGyver. I start telling her about my dream. She doesn’t seem very interested, but pays a little bit of attention. I am telling her about the features on the 3-D software, and saying I wish the real ones did that. I have just gotten to the point where Desmond falls out of the computer. My mom stops and looks at me, and asks if he’s cute? She says I should marry him. I tell her he was only a dream. I can’t marry a dream. My mother doesn’t pay any attention to the dream part, and says I should marry Altaïr. I am considering that maybe I am still dreaming, but I wake up before I can do anything about it.
An assassin ninja girl gets captured by a group of aliens inhabiting the planet when trying to steal a magic flag needed for some ritual. After escaping, the ninja girl steals the flag and runs through a field (that looks like its from an open world RPG) while an alien drop ship tails her. There were small caves with human bones in them and a lot of bridges that lead to another town.
D1 - Had a dream about being a secret agent in a futuristic tower block where everything seemed to be metal. I was in a cramped tiny room with other agents getting ready to meet some other people, thankfully the doors were slidey electronic ones. In the dream I kept getting distracted from the plot due to the view out of the windows. I kept looking out and up at the skyline and being disconcerted by the size of a building on the skyline, the other dcs who I pointed it out to were not interested, though they looked when I kept pointing. By the end of the dream the building had grown to take up the whole skyline with a massive dome and strange diamond shape walls. We never did get to do much agent stuff, just got suited up. D2 - Going for a job another candidate gets the job as they are able to change lots of things using their powers. They can memorise anything and become super confident. They have a pale blue light around them and give me the ability to teleport too. I bounce around teleporting still in agent mode using x-ray vision to check no one is about. I get to an area where there are loads of hospital style curtains (twin peaks) also a pale blue glow is there. D3 - Looking after school kids, trying to get them ready for football then as a treat to go swimming. we have to go out on road and almost get hit by a truck as it swings past but I pull them out of way. so we go through building to meet other class
Creepy Dreamed I was with a ghost hunting crew from youtube. At first we were exploring a haunted bar/pizza place. One of the guys was bored and asked i I wanted to play a game of pool with him. Later we were outside and got in his car. We both looked in the mirror and there was a guy sitting in the backseat talking to us. His voice was mumbled. We both looked to the backseat at the same time and no one was there. We then looked at eachother and screamed and ran out of the car.
2017, 10-24 The Dark Tower – Bearzilla Attacks I am in a forest in a clearing with a couple of other people. I see Roland, Susanna, and MoSh. Susanna is seated in her wheelchair and has a gun. She is aiming at a row of targets set up on a fallen tree not far away. There are six targets there, and Roland is giving each of them and identity for Susanna’s benefit. He is describing various assholes from Susanna’s past. People that Susanna would be very glad shoot. I am looking at Susanna’s missing legs. I am looking at the stumps where they come to an end rather. I am wondering if we have some prosthetics that could make her able to walk. From what I’ve seen, she’s learned to get around very well without legs. So I’m not even sure if she would want the prosthetics. I hear some birds disturbed, and what might’ve been a tree falling, but I don’t pay much attention. Roland and Susanna are too focused on their current lesson. MoSh says that the bear guardian is coming. Susanna fires off six quick shots. She annihilates all but one target. After another disturbance MoSh repeats that the bear is coming. I look over at him, at first I’m not sure what he means, but then I remember. Susanna is getting annoyed at Roland for describing the targets as assholes from her past. Apparently that brought up some memories she didn’t want to think about. More birds are disturbed, and another tree crashed at the ground. All I can say is, oh shit! MoSh finally gets Roland’s attention and he repeats that something big is coming. He says it’s the giant bear guardian. Susanna looks at him doubtfully, but Roland gets a look of understanding on his face. He says he didn’t even think that was real. He thought it was just a story. But no one can deny the fact that something big is headed for the campsite where we had been earlier. And that’s where we left Eddie. Susanna, of course, is immediately panicked for Eddie. Roland scoops Susanna out of her wheelchair and start carrying her piggyback, running back towards the camp as fast as he can. MoSh says it will take too long to run, so he flies. As I see him fly, I think I can do the same thing. I fly after him over the green forest below. There is a bear up ahead that we see. This bear is massive. The bear is violently shaking a tall tree. I see Eddie near the top of the tree, holding on for dear life. MoSh already knows what to do. He pulls out a gun that looks like a replica of one of the Roland’s, and he fires at the strange looking radar dish on the bear’s head. The bullet hits a barrier of some kind. Marsh says crap, that’s not supposed to be there. There’s a dark energy shield around the bear. The bear is back to shaking Eddie’s tree as if it hasn’t even noticed us. I tell MoSh that I’ll break the shield with a bolt of lightning and then he can take out the dish. I use the song Battery by Metallica to create a bolt of lightning of light energy. The lightning cuts through the shield around the bear. MoSh fires his gun again, and this time it hits home. The strange dish on the bear’s head explodes in a rain of blue sparks and disgusting grey-ish black worms. I’m sitting there looking at that, thinking that’s nasty. The bear starts turning around in circles as if it is disoriented. Roland arrives with Susanna, and she shoots the bear as it is trying to grab hold of Eddie’s tree again. I’m not sure if it’s trying to shake him off still, or if it’s trying to use the tree to hold itself up. The bear clumsily turns around and starts headed towards Susanna and Roland. Susanna shoots it again right in the dish, although it was pretty mangled from the first shot. Since this version of the bear doesn’t to want die, I add a bolt of lightning to the mix. And MoSh shoots it three more times in the base of it skull. That creates a large hole in the base of it skull, from which many more disgusting gray-ish black worms News. The bear flails around a bit more, splattering disgusting worms and blood everywhere. Then it collapses. It is still making some noises, but these noises now sound like a malfunctioning dishwasher. Roland says it’s OK now, that bear is all but dead. I keep watching, since it was that hard to kill I don’t want to assume anything. Roland goes over closer to the bear, as does MoSh. Eddie and Susanna are embracing each other, and smooching. That’s rather gross, since Eddie got a soaking of the blood/parasites/disgusting stuff from the bear earlier. Roland is gouging out one big eyeball from the bear. Yuck. He seems to think we should all take a look. I don’t really see the need to. But everyone goes over to look. Susanna seems to move pretty well on her own. That leads me to question even more if she would even want artificial legs. What we find in the bear seems to be pretty much proof that it is a cyborg. Eddie says it looks like an iPod. Susanna just gives them a puzzle look. MoSh says it’s a cyborg. Partly metal, partly organic. Finally we determined that we should go back to the shooting site. This does not appear to be a good spot to camp anymore. But I don’t get far before I wake up.
D1 - Dreaming that I was living in medieval times, part way through a dream I am at a farm and someone has a sack that is filled with animals. The animals seem to be quiet happy in the bag until I put a black cat in with the white one that is already there. It gives me "the look" suggesting this is not the done thing at all. D2 - Next I am dealing with a poor person who is being given some kind of wage (I have no idea ) they are looking out of there window over a muddy lane. D3- There are twins following me up a dark staircase, they are only young boys but I feel I must murder them as they are a threat (twin princes in the tower, if you know your tudor kings and queens of English history). I hit them over the head then slit their throats (nice Oo). D4 - In a house seemingly filled with kids (poor house ) I go off with a woman and have sex.
The last dream I had that I remember on this day was this one: Section 1: I was chasing a kid, whose name was Zach, and he was riding a bicycle near a wooded area. He wasn't acting responsibly as he was going where he shouldn't have been and at one point I said "Don't you know what 'danger' means?" to him just before he went over the crest of a hill and started yelling as he went down a steep hill, couldn't or didn't stop and then went over a plateau before he fell down a cliff. I followed (but gently) and expected to find him dead while I thought of calling an ambulance and imagined what speaking to his Mom would be like at this point. I didn't find him and the dream shifted subjects. Section 2: At this point it turned into Homestar Runner. Strong Bad was experimenting on Strong Sad again; S.B. put a bubble around S.S's head and was trying to change S.S's gender which ultimately didn't work as S.S. changed back from the halfway finished form.
In this dream I spoke to an old (former) friend, Fenn. From the way he spoke (and from what he said, I guess) he was no longer friends with Michaël, his best friend and former classmate of mine. They had a falling out of some kind. Our conversation was surprisingly pleasant.
I was in a school, again, but I'd already graduated. Someone who works there (perhaps a teacher) speaks to me, and assumes I should be in class. I told him I was 26, and to leave me alone. Then I ran into a former classmate, Tim Botte, near the gym area. They were still doing something there (notes don't indicate what) but it was clear he had also graduated years ago. "Oxy 1 has shut down", he said. This refers to my job in a chemical plant at the time. The "Oxy" plants use ethylene oxychlorination to produce DCE (1,2-Dichloroethene).
I procrastinated for 2 years to write out these dreams. Yes, really. I barely remember any of them, so many will just be the one-word description I wrote down after I woke up. October 17: Time travel, home 2007. This does vaguely mean something to me. I'd somehow wound up 10 years in the past (8 from when I had this dream), and I'd gone to where we used to live as a family (now only my dad live there with his new wife, Debby). I think I ringed the doorbell and talked to my mom. Who didn't seem to notice I was 8 years older. Or was that a different dream...? Not sure. October 18: Time travel, Mexico. October 19: Miami, jet engine + cockpit - killer robot, Stig/Claire/Debby. October 20: Lava, Travis Dane (villain from "Under Siege 2")? October 21: Going nuclear. October 23: Chased by killer CIA (?), Eros (old friend of mine), car - school, 220 km/h, LA, Green Mile - cloning, restrained, grey alien. October 29: Hallucination, guy hits me in face repeatedly (brother?), knocks me to ground, sits on me, keeps hitting nose hard, I feel nothing/little, realize must be bleeding. October 30: Escape from huge research (?) building, 30 floors under the water or under ground, 160 above. I was chased by something on stairs, I jumped down. Elevator, slow down, roll away? Final boss robot, defeat, next game - walking through Las Vegas, remember/miss Claire, have to contain tears (powerful sorrow). October 31: City destroyed and on fire, airships and normal ships, landing at airship, difficult approach, hook won't attach, ship crew doesn't want us there.
I was at the top of the Gen-Sys company building. Gen-Sys was a company that did breakthrough science in genetic engineering and the like, transhumanist sciences that I support. It was night. There was the brightly-lit reception area, where people arriving by chopper are received. The Gen-Sys symbol above the door leading out to the helipad. I was arrested by a typical "MiB" FBI agent, and escorted out to the helipad. The agent commandeered the Gen-Sys chopper parked there, and intended to fly me across the country (out west, to California) to be interrogated and imprisoned. I "knew" the company HQ I was at was located in the north-west of the country, but probably not at the coast. Maybe Chicago, or Detroit? The building was on the shore of a large river, and on the other side of the river was a major city, its many lights shining in the night. I was very angry for being arrested. I called the agent terrorist scum, and that he was helping the real bad guys without knowing it. I think I was talking about the luddites always trying to sabotage the company's efforts, trying to make them look bad. And being a transhumanist zealot... well... you never know what I might have done to the poor luddites, the cause of my arrest. The helicopter took off, but I struggle and jump out (it wasn't hovering very high yet), my hands still tied up. I sees Gen-Sys personnel at the entrance to the reception area, so I calmly walk up to him and tell him I changed my mind about leaving. Apparently hoping he'd be deceived, and let me leave through the building. It didn't quite work. Not sure what happened next.
I won't be able to reveal many elements of this dream for my own safety and privacy. Suffice to say I was watching a television program of sorts, that greatly appealed to me. I wanted to know what it was called, so I looked around the dream space for clues. On an electrical panel (?) on a wall, I found the words "San Junipero". I somehow assumed that was the name of the show. In another part of the same dream, I read the words "Les Hommes Oubliés". It's French (not my native language), and it means "The Forgotten Men".
Scary dream. I saw some kind of cabin. My grandfather, who died recently, was there. In a later scene we saw what happened after we (myself and possibly other family?) left. We had to abandon him because he had some kind of disease that as a threat to everybody. Grandpa was dead, and on the floor. He looked like he suffered a lot. It was very dark in the cabin. Only moonlight lit up the room. The floor, walls and even the ceiling was covered in red... stuff. Not blood. More like the red weed from "The War of the Worlds", or "the Ripley" from Stephen King's "Dreamcatcher". The scene looked creepy as hell. I felt like something evil was in there with us. There was a girl with me, now. Dire circumstances throughout the dream (mostly forgotten) had brought us together. I was crushing on her, hard. And the way I acted around her made it very obvious. I didn't care things were bad. Not if I got to be around her. In another scene I found myself in medieval times, I think. I was in some kind of arena, sitting on a long bench with a bunch of other people. The person next to me told me to leave, quickly. I was apparently in danger. Possibly, "they" were after me. Horrific dream. Sort of a continuation of the first. It was a frantic chase through a house, where I was being pursued by... Things. Like the monsters from John Carpenter's "The Thing". More and more of our group were being turned, mutating horribly, and I was now the only one left. It was awful and terrifying. I vaguely remember a bedroom, where I jumped through a window (through the glass) to escape one of the Things and "fell through dimensions". Impossible to explain in words. The dream concluded with an open ending... but I suspected I had been turned without knowing it myself, or as about to be turned.
2017, 10-23 The Dark Tower – The Wrong Tower I am at work. I am sitting in my cubicle looking at the computer monitor but not really seeing anything. I have to use the restroom, so I get up and lock my computer before leaving my cubicle. The office layout doesn’t seem right. I go to where the restroom but I find an office with four people crammed into it. I leave immediately. I keep wandering around, I come to one of the windows that is covered with blinds as always. I peek through the blinds and realize this office must be on about the 15th floor! I am in the wrong office entirely! I will be in trouble for not showing up to work… I turn to go to the elevator. On my way I run into a man. I am thinking he is one of my bosses. I try to turn away so he won’t notice me, but I fail and he sees me. He comes over, but instead of chewing me out, he says he’s looking for Roland. I tell him I haven’t seen Roland. He tells me to help him find Roland, he’s in the wrong place. So I’m not the only person in the wrong building! I say I’ll help find Roland. He says to split up, then he turns and disappears into a door that I think might be a restroom. But I no longer have to go. Now I am wandering around the office asking if anyone has seen Roland. People are giving me weird looks when I ask that. Finally I find someone who knows. It’s a woman who points to a cubicle near the back of the room. I go straight there and peek in. There is a man sitting there looking rather lost. I ask if he’s Roland, and he says yes. I tell him the boss is looking for him. He looks at me strangely. I say I don’t know where the boss went… but we can find him. Roland follows me from his cubicle. I am thinking he looks very familiar. Apparently, I also seem familiar to him, he asks if we’ve met somewhere else. I look over at him to try to remember. He calls me Raven and says he doesn’t belong here. I tell him I don’t, either. We should go back to where we belong. And find the boss. As we exit the office building on street level Roland looks around. I look at the tall building with the name on its front. It is called The Tower. He says it is the wrong one. I am still thinking it is the wrong office. Roland looks like he has a headache. I am wondering if the boss is still inside the tower. I am thinking maybe we should go back in but then I spot the boss. He has just come out of a side door from the building. I wave at him and he notices me. He comes over, and I tell him I found Roland. Roland says he has to go somewhere, but where? The boss says he needs to find the tower. Roland looks up at the building. The boss shakes his head. He says no, Roland needs to find the dark tower. The axis of all worlds, center of reality. “I want to go there!“ I say. The boss looks over at me and tells me to go get a cup blue city tea. I have no idea what that means. The boss asks Roland how he got here in the first place? Roland says he can remember everything just fine back to the point where he came out of the... and then he stops. He said it was a building near a train station. I see where there are some railroad tracks, I think they probably lead to the train station. So the boss, Roland, and I go over to the tracks. While they are looking around a bit, I get distracted. I want to see what happens when a train runs over coins. I lay down a few coins that I find on the nearest railroad track. I wait for a bit, and then I hear a train coming, the train comes goes right over the coins. They are flat now, just like the souvenirs you can get of flattened pennies. Another train goes by, then I see Roland with the boss over near what looks like a storage shed. The shed is locked. Roland is now saying that he is absolutely sure that this is the door he has to go through. But we don’t have a key. I am wishing this was a Harry Potter book, then I could just use Alohamora to unlock the door. Just joking more than anything, I point at the door and say aloha Mora. To my surprise, it unlocks. Harry Potter spells work? How could I not have discovered this sooner? Having heard the door unlocked, Roland tries it. The door opens. I find that we are looking through the door, but there is no storage shed. Instead, the door is looking through into a forest. There are a couple of people over there. They are both calling for Roland. Roland says that’s Eddie and Susanna. This is a doorway to another world. The boss says he thinks someone might have brainwashed Roland. Roland goes through the door, and I follow him. The boss follows me through. I am getting the idea that I’m being really dense about something. I am about to do a reality check, maybe I’m dreaming, but before I get a chance to I wake up.
