      Dream 1: My brother was playing some sort of lord of the rings game, finding all sorts of easter eggs, floating up in the sky to a library with paintings on the walls as well.

      Dream 2: I was playing basketball in the NBA against an all star team, I caused a stalemate with their best player, who looked like kevin love but with longer hair.

    2. Wow. Can't believe it's been so long

      by , 01-05-2017 at 09:59 PM (Just Another Dream Journal)
      I had a bunch of humdrum dreams last night. I told myself I wasn't even going to attempt the ToTM because I didn't get to sleep until 6AM and I had to be awake by noon. LD disrupts my sleep way too much so I've not even bothered trying for years.

      The only dream that stands out from last night was yelling at my husband. We were in a hotel room with an adjoining room that some other family was using. A little kid was being extremely disruptive. He was banging on the walls and floor, screaming, crying etc. Hubby had enough. He stormed into the room and I could hear him whooping the kids butt. When hubby returned, I laid into him saying he assaulted someone's kid and it wasn't his place to lay a hand on the boy no matter how bad the boy was. I was furious.

      And then I practically jumped out of bed because I thought it was 5:30PM It was only 1:30. I still slept through my alarm but not by too much

      I also had my standard zombie and base buildings dreams (inspired by 7 Days 2 Die which I play wayyy too friggin much).

    3. Driven in Pink

      by , 01-05-2017 at 05:14 PM
      I am being driven around in a pink car by a woman I do not recognize from WL. She is an attractive MILF. There are hills around us, resembling the hills you see around Moreno Valley in southern California. There are distant houses nestled in the hills. I am cognizant of being married to my wife in the dream, but I work with this lady and this is the final time we will be together. We are headed to a party.

      I feel uneasy, knowing my wife would not approve of me being alone in a car with this lady. In the dream, I imagine my wife pulling up beside us at a light in her minivan and looking over to see me with her (note: this didn't actually happen in the dream, it was visualized within the dream). I figure this would be extremely awkward, and I'd have some serious explaining to do! Or would I be able to slip down to hide on the floorboard before she saw me? These were the options I pondered within the visualization. After I snap back into the reality of the dream, I notice there is a child in the backseat of the car. And at that point I realize this woman does not respect me. Nor do I respect her. Most of all, I do not respect myself in this dream.

      I begin to feel sad. There is lots of room to stretch my legs out in her car; it is very spacious for a convertible. As she drives me around, I grow more and more pensive. I experience a great withdrawal, and a sense of failure and doom. A betrayal of my marriage vows, even though the woman and I never touch. The most predominant emotion, however, is abject loneliness. I feel so utterly lonely in the dream. I think about my kids and how much I miss them. Dreamt 12/16/2016

    4. [05-01-2017: Bird sickness]

      by , 01-05-2017 at 05:09 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I entered my barn and saw some hens with little chickens lying on they hay. Most of them were dead or very weak. There was some strange sickness spreading around.
    5. “Return of the Fairy Tale”, Reading Letters in Clayfield

      by , 01-05-2017 at 07:58 AM
      Morning of January 5, 2017. Thursday.



      My wife and family and I are living back on Gellibrand Street in Clayfield. When the mail goes, there are several items. I firstly focus on a large package.

      The package turns out to contain a book we did not order or expect to get, possibly because of being members of a book-of-the-month club. It is a very large and thick book with shiny gilded pages with the title of “Return of the Fairy Tale”. It seemingly includes fairy tales as well as poems and folk tales. I read one poem as our youngest daughter listens (though I cannot recall its content). I am not sure if we should keep the book as I seem to remember that Zsuzsanna has an older edition of the same book. We look for it and it is found near the bottom of her wardrobe. I ask her if we should keep the new edition we just received and it seems that we will. The older edition has a slightly different cover but is about the same size.

      After this, I go onto our porch to look at our other mail. There are two postcards from Margaret. In one, she starts off by talking about seeing her “pale face” looking back at her (from a mirror I assume). She writes that she is sorry to hear about my sister (Marilyn).

      Apparently, I had also written to a man in India of whom I had not written to in over twenty years. I had asked him about his address (which makes no sense because if I did not know his address he likely would not have gotten my letter). On his postcard, in somewhat sloppy handwriting, he only writes:

      “I do not remember my other address. I would like a comfy.”

      I am not sure what he means by “comfy”; if he means a footrest or some sort of apparel. (In real life years ago he had asked me to send him auto repair books and I did not have any.)

      I also notice a couple loose letters which are older love letters from Zsuzsanna though I am puzzled as to why they are with the recent mail. One letter includes a couple drawings. I had been sitting on the left end of the couch on the porch (liminal space) during this last segment.



      • The fifteen rupee tiger stamp is a sublimated coalescence prompt (as a tiger can swallow the dream self back into full consciousness) and additionally, mail usually symbolizes communication between the dream self and either the conscious self identity or the collective unconscious. Even so, and even containing the same dreaming and waking metaphors (and overall meaning) since earliest childhood, this dream’s rendering is unique.
      • Regardless of the nature of the book, a book usually links to conscious self identity (and critical thinking skills that are not wholly feasible in non-lucid dreams). Gilded pages relate to dawning awareness and sentience (as sunbeams coming in through a bedroom window).
      • The other book being in the wardrobe is a dream sign, as Zsuzsanna gets clothes from her wardrobe shortly after waking.
      • Most dreams, when waking prompts are not more direct or jolting, are to subliminally inform the dreamer to wake as in this case. This same “call to waking” (waking transition with waking metaphors) can be seen in tens of thousands of my dreams documented and studied over fifty years, and in very specific layered (redundant) ways (and often “no-brainers” that I easily grasped as a child).
      • Even “comfy” can be considered a dream sign, as it can refer to pillows and being in bed.
      • Even the line about not remembering the other address is a direct reference to the amnesic nature of the personified subconscious (dream self).

    6. Non-lucid about going blind 2017 DJ #3

      by , 01-05-2017 at 05:13 AM (Journeys through Spacetime)
      I have a vague non-lucid about being blind. A woman restores my eyesight, and she asks me to interpret her dream. It is displayed with pink text upon a black screen. It is nonsense. I try to translate with google translate many times till I wake up.

    7. Old book, new book

      by , 01-05-2017 at 02:24 AM
      INT. CHILDHOOD HOME - DAY

      I'm reading an old ufo book that has been reprinted in a nice, leather-bound edition. But suddenly the front cover comes off and I see the broken binding. I plan to glue it back together.

    8. [04-01-2017: Thunderstorm, Sky observations and swimming pool]

      by , 01-04-2017 at 09:30 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      Thunderstorm

      I left my house and stopped at the entrance stairs, staring at the grim and heavy clouded sky. The wind was blowing wildly, clouds were moving really quickly. I saw my sister walking around the backyard. I moved to the backyard, it was getting darker and darker. Then a powerful thunderstorm started! Lightnings shot all across the sky and hit buildings at my backyard several times. The lightnings were red and everything they stroke went instantly ablaze with strong and bright fires. I saw other sisters walking around a hill behind our barn, I tried to warn them. I ran back to entrance. My sister I saw earlier ran to a shed and sounded a siren to warn us, I called her to get back home. She ran to me and entered the house after warning everyone.

      Sky observations, swimming pool

      A green mist spread around some park in a city and disappeared. It teleported me and some other people to that city. It was a sunny day, the sky was clear. There were coconut palms in that park. I called for some horse and it appeared, then other people did the same and we drove on, watching as the sky changed from day to night, looking at the stars. We drove through desert, to some meadows which were disconnected with a cliff. Some rocks floating in the air were forming a path to the other side, but we had a better idea - fall down the cliff. Doing that teleported us to an aquapark. I entered it and changed my clothes, then jumped to swimming pools and just swam. I kinda learned swimming, but also enjoyed it. Starting with a safe pool with lesser depth and then going to a deeper one. I swam with some heavilly scarred and burnt man. He told about demon summoning and how resist demons saved his life. I lied on my back in the water, slowly submerging. I closed my eyes and submerged further.
    9. Post apocalyptic shopping

      by , 01-04-2017 at 08:32 PM
      I am by myself searching through a desolate city scape, very grey and cold. I see a woman going into some shops and think she must know where some food is, but also i am wary for her safety.
      I follow after her down into the basement of a store. There are aisles of boxes stacked high and debris strewn everywhere. One section has a long greenhouse, abandoned, for some reason.
      However as the woman disappears off I cannot follow her as a large wild cat is now between the two of us.
      It's about the size of a large dog, with grey matted fur and its eyes are scarred out. Although it is blind I feel its gaze burning into me.
      I move but as I do it moves closer still. I pick up a rock and through it, it has no effect. I am petrified. I throw another as hard as I can at its temple but it just bounces off. Now i'm a bit more scared.
      Then I remember that I said I would go back to my practise of hugging DCs rather than killing them.
      I make protective gloves and padding appear but I dont really think this will be enough. As the cat must be seriously pissed off and has wicked looking claws. I am lucid at this point.
      I then materialise my titanium wings and go in for a big hug. I am eyeball to blind eyeball with the cat and it does try to claw me.
      There are lots of pinging noises as its claws rake against my wings and some white sparks.
      But I get a hug in there lol. I wake up.

      WBTB
      I go back into the dream but am not lucid. There is a guy cleaning up plants and weeds into a big bundle he puts in a wheel barrow, next to the old greenhouse. He is an old Jamaican guy with a cap who talks to me. My daughters phone has fallen into some water nearby and I go to rescue it but the water is toxic and it has melted the gold on the back of the phone. As when I wipe it clean it just comes apart. I go to a workshop to try and get it fixed, the workshop has loads of stuff in it, I have seen it in another dream I think.

    11. Escape from heaven to hell, or heaven to Earth.

      by , 01-04-2017 at 07:57 PM (Awake to take in the view...)
      Last night's (non-lucid) dream was pretty cool. I was in heaven, in a field, so apparently I had died or something. Two guys there were trying to move from heaven to hell. As to why they would want to do that, I have no idea! Then, there were two ladies there who wanted to move from heaven to Earth instead.

      I suppose this particular heaven wasn't all that exciting.

      Somehow, in their efforts to travel back to earth, they managed to take me with them. I felt like I was waking up into the land of the living, and suddenly we were in some restaurant located inside of a shopping mall. The two girls were really nice, and I talked to them a bit, but I honestly don't remember why they wanted to go back to Earth. I think they said they had "unfinished business" or something.

      There was also a guy with a dog that was performing in a show or something. It's a bit fuzzy in my memory though.

      Then, we all got on an elevator to go down to a lower floor. The guy with the dog was on it too. There were a lot of people in said elevator, but it was very large and roomy so it didn't feel crowded. It was a glass elevator, so you could see the lower floors of the mall. Anyway, there was a needle of some sort laying on the ground.

      And get this: It moved of its own accord, and immediately began stabbing me. I actually felt the pain. My mind immediately jumped to the conclusion that some sort of organization had built this needle to...do something malicious. But I don't remember what! :')

      That faded, and I was outside in a nice neighborhood with some large houses, some of which were under construction. There was a large crowd of people walking towards one of them -- I think the one that was being constructed -- and I remember a pretty girl with a pink strapless blouse, which had a pattern of diamond shapes on it in a variety of colors. She was pale and neither skinny nor overly heavy -- just perfect.

      The last thing my dream journal says is "something else as part of dream." I don't remember what that something was, though. I was starting to get really tired and had less than an hour before waking up, so I just went back to sleep I think.

    12. Elegant Dream Restaurant

      by , 01-04-2017 at 07:27 PM
      My recall was foggy but I managed to remember certain things so it's good now. :3

      Parakeets Out Of Their Cage

      I was having a non lucid dream than appeared in my old house where my old parakeet Marisol was out of her cage. Holding my finger near her she flew to it. I tried getting her in her cage after that but she flew away again. I held my finger out once more near the mirror dresser and she flew to it. I was than able to quickly put her in the cage. However, I noticed that my current green parakeet Rupert was out of his cage. There were two of him too. One had a black bar under him labeled illuma and the other Illumi. I assumed the one named Illumi was the right one so I caught him with my hand and put him back inside. There was a opening to the cage though and they were getting back out again.


      Old Black Dream Cell Phone

      After thinking about how I appear too many times in my old house I decided to try having a dream in my new current house.
      I was non lucid, dreaming about something related to running off the streets when I noticed I was in my current house room now sitting up on the bed.I became lucid and thought about how I wanted to call Dawn, Eye and possibly Kiro. Finding a small old black cell on the blanket I looked at the screen for Eye first. I saw the text of his name on the screen than pressed the call button. Putting it on my ear I could hear it ringing but no one was answering and the leave a message after the beep thing came up.I tried again but it kept ringing and no one answered. Next I tried Dawn but no one answered either. Giving up a bit I called Kiro but than hanged up to call Eye again.

      Eye ended up answering this time. I shouted at him to answer his cell from now on. He muttered something like it wasn't his problem than appeared in my room. The setting was changing a bit so I got up to stay close to Eye. But he started walking away till he encountered a girl dc and started making googly eyes at her. I shouted at Eye to not get distracted but than thought about it more. "If Eye is trying to make me annoyed I should ignore him". I than turned away from him and called Dawn but the setting was getting Darker. I feel like I reached Dawn but than something non lucid happened.


      A scene of Ed, Edd and Eddy was happening where Jimmy had shown the funny Edd some kind of new found kindness. This made the neighborhood change the way they acted and they started to come together. Next thing I know I'm walking in a street filled with shops and market places. Its sunny and feels like its the afternoon. I'm also holding the old black cell that I used to call Eye, Dawn and Kiro.

      I became lucid than thought about how it reminded me of the dream meet up place I wanted to go to. Everything was also vivid and felt sturdy enough to enjoy without any nuisances. However,hearing a voice coming out of the cell phone I put it close to my right ear to see who was talking. Hearing the voice I assumed it was Dawn's boss who was telling me to enjoy myself and that Dawn would pick me up later. I told him to tell Dawn to meet me now though. He said alright so I just clicked a random button with the thought of making the cell hang up on the call. It worked so I focused on which store I would want to go in. The one that caught my eye had a traditional old Japanese/Chinese style to it. It was a dark green building with green posts holding the roof up.The posts had a white swirly line on them and somewhere near the roof there was wooden carved dark green dragon heads.

      I went inside thinking that they would probably have Chinese dream food in it. But to my surprise I was getting a ice skating vibe from the place. People were looking for their lockers to pick up their shoes while others were buying shoes. I didn't want to wait for Dawn where I was so I made a left instead of a right and entered what was a elegant restaurant with red carpet flooring. The lights were dim and made the room have a yellow tint to it too. The scenery, formal dressed people and food made me feel excited enough to take a seat at a long rectangular spiffy table with a red table cloth on it and candles. However, after taking a seat a man came up to me and shouted at me that I was a thief. I looked to the table seeing a golden necklace with small cross on it, a golden chain and silver jewelry.


      The jewelry situation made me lose lucidity as I became distracted by the women walking up to me from behind. "I wasn't trying to steal anything" I told the man. The women than picked up the gold and started pointing out that it was theirs. Observing the Jewelry closely I noticed that there were pink jewels on the silver earrings and ring. I took the ring and told them that it was probably mine. The women taking most of the Jewelry said no, that I needed to look closer cause she was sure it belonged to her. Looking closer I saw the earring and ring change shape. One creating a unique heart shape and the ring adding a third row of pink to it. "Yeah...Its not mine even though it looks like mine" I said out loud than walked out the restaurant since Dawn was taking long.

      I was now in what was the shoe area using the black cell to call Dawn. When he answered the phone I told him to hurry and what was making him take so long. He said that he had changed his mind about coming. I told him he shouldn't go back on his word and that I was still going to wait than hanged up. As I was waiting there was a tall black girl looking for her shoe. While she looked I thought about how I didn't need shoes but I still wanted to put them on.I picked up a black shoe wondering if it was mine than suddenly Dawn came in telling me that he was here. But when I turned to look I heard him scream and saw that a girl was chasing him with a shoe.


      That wasn't the only thing that caught me by surprise though. He was a small white hamster with a big light brown spot and a smaller black spot on him. I hurried to grab him as this sparked me into full lucidity but he kept running around screaming. "I'm not gonna hurt you! Come to me!" I repeated but I guess he was afraid I would squish him with my hands. I eventually caught him with my right hand before he got between a pair of shoe boxes. He was still scared so I came up with the idea to sing since years back i use to sing to them a lot in my lucid dreams and that it would help him recognize me as not a threat even if it came out bad. I quickly started singing to him so he would calm down. He stopped trying to get away and calmed down closing his eyes as he lay in my hand. I felt good with this and stopped singing.Turning around though he jumped off my hand and ran out through the entrance. The girl dc followed him so I decided to run after them but than I thought about how he probably didn't want to be here anyways. I stared at the people and shoes a bit losing lucidity again. The people moving to and fro made me feel like there was a drill going on and that I should hurry out. I picked up a black shoe and put it on even though it didn't match with the gray shoes.I than hurried out but after exiting and seeing people gathered in a crowd I got a feeling that something was off. I asked a boy and he pointed to the sky. A large yellow ball of light floated onto the ground. It was supposedly the sun that lost its fire and was now harmless but needed to be repaired.

      Provide It With Knowledge

      Something non lucid related to school happened than were taken to a classroom where a entity from outer space is shining down a bright light upon the person that brings it the knowledge it desires through a circular window on the roof.

      I become semi lucid because the situation is too exciting and scifi to be truly happening. But I'm still fairly not there as I think of something to provide it knowledge with.I eventually shout at everyone to quickly provide it with something before it leaves. Quickly getting into the light of the entity I decide to stall it with my determination. It shines on me for a prolonged time as I'm randomly thinking of things but than it stops and turns off its light. No one can come up with anything at all. Suddenly a guy who gives off Dawn's presence walks up to me and we start thinking of something we could do. But than someone gets an idea and the entity shines it's light on him but it is not enough to receive the true prize. We do get a little something for reaching the next stage but I forgot what it was.

      As I'm thinking I start to recall things and become fully lucid. However, I'm still interested in seeing the end result of this dream, especially with Dawn beside me even though he had a different appearance. He was light skin, wearing a white shirt, navy shorts,with medium spiky black hair and glasses. Kind of like how Eye should look in realism form but he did not give off Eye's presence or personality. Anyways I couldn't come up with much and the entity was about to leave so I shouted "Wait! I know 3 languages! English, Spanish and Japanese! ". Even though I know as much Japanese as a 3 year old probably would. The light shone on me than I ended up blurting out random nonsense desperately. "Hi in English. Hola in Spanish. Konnichiwa in Japanese. Goodbye, Adios, Sayonara!". As I was shouting whatever came up I took note that everyone had a surprise look on their faces but they also knew I was blurting out something mostly people knew.

      "Say something not much people would know now"I thought than started saying different words in Japanese that most English people wouldn't know. I can't remember some words I said but I'm pretty sure I said "Mou ii!" and " Kimochi ii na!" randomly. As I was shouting random words the light stood on me for a while than turned away. It seemed satisfied with what it got but it wasn't enough for us to receive the true prize. After it left I sat with Dawn on the floor and the setting began to change into a anime classroom. There were cute young girl anime characters talking to each other. Kind of like how lucky star characters look like but with alien skin. One of them asked how they would get the entity to stay longer. The others said they weren't sure in English but with a Japanese accent. I than looked to Dawn who was in front of me as we sat on the floor. In the corner of my eye I could see a screen with a circular ancient calendar that had a golden outline and blue color inside it. I assumed it was suppose to be a calendar for when the entity came back.

      Dawn than caught my attention fully when he asked me if I wanted to go to a restaurant with him to eat waffles. "Yeah okay"I said content. But than I thought about how I wasn't in the mood for something sweet like waffles. Before I knew it I was putting a waffle drenched with syrup into my mouth. "What the?". There was a white plate with cut waffle pieces in front of where I sat now. "What's wrong?" Dawn asked. "How did I start eating waffles without knowing I was eating waffles? I honestly was thinking about how I didn't want to eat waffles but now I'm eating waffles" I replied still baffled. "It's okay. Your senses were just focused elsewhere is all" he said calmly. I could feel a slight numbness of my legs when he said that but I felt it was slightly true. I continued to eat the waffles even though I didn't want to at first though since they weren't as bad as I thought it would be.
      Woke up after that.

      Notes: After I woke up I had the urge to eat waffles. O w o) But just as I turned the knob on the toaster it broke in half. Its funny how the one moment where I choose to eat it I can't.

    13. 12/22 thru 12/26/2016 - "Snake Among Dragons;" "Diva Scorned;" "The Thin Lucid Line"

      by , 01-04-2017 at 08:13 AM (Oneironaut Zero: Dreamwalker Chronicles)
      12/21/2016
      Fragment One
      "Snake Among Dragons"

      I was with a fairly close-knit group of martial artists, meeting with each other about something or other. There was a cop within the group, sitting there in street clothes and trying to blend in with us, but it was becoming more and more apparent that he was there to dig up dirt on our group.


      Fragment Two
      I just remember a cat diving into a pool and being able to sort of freedive and hold its breath for an impressive amount of time.



      12/22/2016
      "Diva Scorned"


      I was being chased by some psychotic, pistol-packing diva - with her expansive group of henchmen - through a big, fancy hotel setting. I have no idea why they were chasing me, or who my companion was, but I know the orders were to shoot on sight. During the chase, someone was able to take us into their apartment and hide us in a small space at the side of a bed, just as the woman showed up. They ended up torturing the person that was hiding us, and who had absolutely refused to give us up. I can't remember what all they did to him, but at one point, I do remember them taking high-pressure heat to his face - like a modified blowtorch with no flame - and literally burning and blistering all over his face and head.

      Next thing I knew, they were gone and we were back on the run, through the hotel hallways and out onto the scaffolding outside, goons firing a few pot shots at us along the way. Making it down to the parking lot, we looked for crowded areas and tried to stay hidden.



      12/25/2016
      Fragment

      There was a bright green viper loose in Shaun's house - pretty much just slithering around, wherever it pleased. I did a fairly good job of avoiding it, in the beginning but eventually it struck out at locked onto my calf. The last thing I remember was wondering if I was going to make it to the hospital in time to not die.



      12/26/2016
      Fragment One

      This one was something about the Tree of the Dead, from the movie Sleepy Hollow. I don't remember much from the dream, except chopping away at the center of the tree, as if more trying to destroy it than investigate it. Just like in the movie, though, I was getting sprayed and saturated with the human blood and gore that made up the tree's insides. I don't remember any encounter with the Headless Horseman, or anything like that - just the tree, itself - though I do know that I had someone with me.


      Dream Two
      "The Thin Lucid Line"


      I was out for some good times with friends, and there was an attractive woman that just kind of fell into our group, after a while, along with some of her male and female friends. The woman and I had been getting along really well, and one of her friends was continuously trying to hook her up, but we all knew that there was going to be nothing going on between us. Throughout the day, I had been driving, and I vaguely remember stopping into a grocery store, before we all went to an apartment complex.

      The sun had just gone down, when a group of maybe 8 of us were walking through the parking lot, and two of the guys - one white, one black - decided to play, what they referred to as "a prank". They, then disappeared behind one of the buildings. A few seconds later, a woman comes running out from one of the hallways, screaming for the police, just as a patrol car 'happened' to be pulling into the complex.

      Naturally, we all scattered and attempted to evade the police. While running through the parking lot, I'd begun to suspect that I was dreaming. Taking one huge leap, I launched myself into the air, and nearly touched the roof of one of the tall apartment buildings, slowly descending back toward the ground. Trying to keep myself calm and get my bearings within the dream state, I took another jump, just a bit more focused, and touched-down to the rooftop. I, then, flew across the parking lot, to the rooftop across from the building I was once on. (I had originally wanted to do the 'Lucid Task of the Month' but I had completely forgotten, by this point.) Now, assured that I was dreaming, I went back down to find my group.

      The cops had everyone rounded up. There were two black cops and one white one - the two black cops acting nonchalant and, ridiculously enough, carrying basketballs as if they were trying to appeal to us level (while being racial stereotypes, obviously). They started putting us in their cruiser and the white cop turned to me and started making bigoted remarks. Still lucid, I just laughed at him and said something smart, in return. Becoming instantly defensive, the cop pulled out his gun and shot me in one leg. It felt like a light punch, and ultimately didn't faze me at all, in terms of pain. The act was, though, irritating, and it caused me to laugh directly in his face, at his futility.

      I said something like "you fool! This is a dream. This is My dream! You think you can hurt me, here??" I then held up one hand and challenged him to shoot me in the hand, just to prove to him (read as: myself) that I could override the pain. He looked at my hand, and back at me...and then he shot me multiple times in the Legs, again. It caught me a little off-guard, but I focused on ignoring the pain and what little discomfort came about had immediately disappeared.

      Again, his defiance irritated me, but caused me to laugh at him through grit teeth. I was just just about to go completely OP'd on him, when I felt the dream beginning to fade away. I didn't even try to fight waking up, though, even though I would have enjoyed tormenting this DC, and I just let the dream slip away while I awoke.



      ---------------------------------
      I've noticed some recurring themes of racism and fascism in my dreams, lately. Makes sense, really. I've been taking in a lot of politics, and playing games like Tomb Raider and The Last of Us, which contain a lot of such situations. No question as to whether waking world media is seeping into my dreams. Lol.

      Fragment One
      "Screamulator"

      I was on a virtual reality / roller coaster hybrid-thing with Cierra. It was supposed to be scary, but it really wasn't all that impressive...at first. At some points, along the ride, I would lift up my VR visor and look at the inner-workings of the ride. It was some bizarre marriage of industrial-grade, metallic structures, electronics, and live, supernatural-looking creatures - as if many of the virtual creatures we were seeing in the visors had actual, real-world counterparts, which were being manipulated (practically-tortured) for the purpose of making this ride work.

      It was very strange and surreal, and I don't think Cierra ever took off her visor and saw what was going on.

      Fragment Two
      "Snowy Trail with JJ"

      My girlfriend and I were walking down a snowy mountain, at night. At some time during our walk, we were approached and followed by a white wolf. At first, it made my girlfriend nervous, but I squatted down a little, as it came close, and put out my hand. The wolf moved into it and allowed me to pet it without incident. It then continued to follow us on our walk, until being deterred by a large, tan/orange scorpion that cross our path. It wandered off in one direction, following the scorpion.



      12/19/2016
      "Reality Killavision"


      This started as some sort of mix of a haunted house and a TV show. There was a group of about a dozen people, all moving through this "haunted" set. During the course of the show, people would be disappearing from the group, one by one, and sometimes completely new people would take their place. It felt very Saw/Hostel-inspired. Later, though, the 'fantasy' nature of the show disappeared, and we found that we were all in very real danger - not so much from anything supernatural, but from actual murderers lurking within the set, including a sniper who was waiting in one very large room with a high wall on the far side.

      Took a nap this afternoon. Longish dream about me being in some kind of a building, lots of corridors, stairs and rooms. The feeling was a mix of some retreat, hospital and work.

      There were dead bodies wheeled out on gurneys under white sheets, I spoke to the "retreat leader" and thanked him, I looked and found some food, rested in one of the rooms that made me feel like I maybe work there.
