    1. Two Fragments [Sensei comp Day 2]

      by , 01-26-2015 at 10:37 PM
      Two fragments of a really cool dream that I had, sadly I didn't become lucid but the dream itself was quite vivid so that's a good thing. I also did a WBTB at 3:20 after going to bed at 11pm but that didn't really help anything and I fell back to sleep to this dream.

      Non-Lucid
      Questioning
      Lucid

      Fragment One:
      I was in an undersea library with my dad and I somehow had gotten powers that could allow me to do anything that I wanted. We met a little girl who said it was her birthday and she wanted food and a boy to play with. My dad and I led her towards an elevator and when the doors opened I created some food. The doors closed and while we were in the elevator I noticed the little girl had a large carrot hat on. I looked to the food again and it was also filled with carrots. The elevator doors opened on the same floor we were on previously and I created a boy about my age to play with the little girl, she didn't seem the slightest bit interested and started playing on a laptop. I made the boy to be her age and he ran up to her, threw the laptop away, grabbed her hand and went off to play somewhere.

      Fragment Two:
      My dad and I exited the library before being approached by a fish/man who told us that we should keep quiet about what we were trying to find otherwise pirates could take advantage of us. My dad thanked him and I thought to myself that if we were caught I would be able to kill everyone with my new power. I then saw two of my friends that had left the school over by a cafe of sorts, they were wearing leather jackets with jeans and were also with another group of people that I assumed were their other friends. I approached the one on the left and asked him if he remembered me, in reply, he introduced me to the other one and told me I had met him in year 5. I found this slightly odd since I had met the guy much earlier than that but I got distracted when a lot of my other friends, who were also wearing leather jackets, began running down the street. I ran after them and as I vaulted over some railing and jumped a large flight of stairs I realised that I was wearing a leather jacket too. Every time I did a stunt I would hear J's voice telling me to be careful, I kept on trying to reassure her that everything was fine and that I was completely safe but she got really worried when I grazed my knee on some paving. I again wondered why I felt no pain but I wanted to focus on the supposed race that my friends and I were having. I told J again that it didn't hurt and proceeded to do a huge jump onto the top of a four story carpark roof, I began to float upwards mid-air but came back down and landed on the third story. The dream ended there.

      I really liked that dream, it was vivid and epic so I would like to do something like that again. Becoming lucid would make that dream more epic and I am begninning to question the dreams again so if I can do an RC it'll be as easy as that. I'm going to try the WBTB a little bit later in the morning or go to bed earlier because when light comes through the blinds I can't go back to sleep anymore so that's something to also take into account.

      - Have a third Lucid Dream.
      - Have a conversation with a DC.
      - Fly.
      - Find my Dream Guide.
      - Summon an an animal and ask it a question. [Dare]
    2. 2015-01-26 Comp (SCoAA) night #2: bikini block party, "real" game, club house, walls have ears

      by , 01-26-2015 at 10:15 AM
      A decent night before WBTB turned into a great recall night after WBTB and successful BTS (back to sleep).

      23:30 pre-bedtime
      00:00 (?) bedtime

      06:26

      +(f) bunch of dogs digging in a hole in a little hut, "dig dig dig dig dig dig!" someone (me?) says, "where's the hole? where's the hole? where's the hole?"

      + picking and eating red/blue berries from a bush; showing people around AH, our old bike jumps, 'lost my two front teeth"

      A number of people are standing around a tangled, medium-sized berry bush. There are blue and red colored berries, I'm looking to try to find the best berries.

      I'm walking along the main street on AH showing some people around: we reach the "end" of the street where there is a fairly large dirt pile. I explain that this is a bicycle jump, one of the many that we build on the hill. We walk back the other way towards the berry bush. I'm saying there are jumps all over the hill and we used to ride all over the hill doing this jumps, and that is how I knocked out my two front teeth.

      + kayaking homeschool, fast, sleek kayaks, channels between the reeds, rain

      I'm floating through narrow channels of water amongst tall reeds. Children are zipping by paddling kayaks at fairly high speed. They are really good at it. This is a homeschool where they teach kayaking, it's an integral part of the curriculum, you wouldn't be able to do this in a normal school. The kayaks are sleek. Small girls are paddling them, at high speed, I'm admiring their skills. It starts raining, I imagine they must go inside and wait for the rain to stop before continuing kayaking, what will they do inside?

      + outdoors outside building, google project(?), the walls have ears (typos), people digging up, record and print my words

      Outside a large concrete building on a sloping lawn with a group of young people, like outside a University building at a college. I'm talking, I'm saying lots of things. At some point I realize that my words are verbatim appearing as text on the walls of the building we're next to. "The walls have ears!" I exclaim. I see that even my mis-pronounced words are recreated exactly using "typos" in the words on the wall. This is some sort of privacy-invading project run by Google. Suddenly a team of workers appears, they begin digging around the base of the building, pulling up plates of concrete. Something we've said is "against their rules" and so they must enter the machinery and erase it from memory.

      + fire alarm/brigade, drive through town (deja vu), moving extremely heavy concrete blocks car prototype ('sorry, no fire'), club house 2 men workers installing diagonal windows ("look out, or they'll 'get' us") girl digs out extra room, keys on shelf, throwing tokens, change shirt, drink of water (dip whole cup?)

      I'm a fireman? on a fire truck responding to an alarm, we enter a city and must wind our way in between buildings, I've been here I think, have to find the fire. Arrive at some building and get off and encounter a group of people moving incredibly heavy constructs made from cement/cinder blocks. They are building a prototype (vehicle?) from these blocks, and they're working on solving the problem of the large blocks slipping. Should I help them move? I don't.

      I'm replacing keys and a small fob-like device on some shelf, I'm looking for the right place to put them, I see some keys and put them with the keys.

      Some pranksters are throwing things at me? I go outside and dip my hand into a pouch by the door and pick up a handful of little stuffed-toy-animal-eyes (the sort where the 'pupil' moves inside a clear container) and throw them at the guys, they're amazed that I took it for so long without responding.

      I have to take off and change my shirt.

      I'm observing a small side-buidling, in one area two men workers are working on installing large glass windows that are diagonal with the top more outside and the bottoms more inside. If we're not careful they're "get us" and "even we [meaning the guys] are not safe." There are more girls in our group than guys. There is a small room to the right of the workmen's room, it's packed full of some material (crumpled up paper?), and a girl from our group enters this room and starts using her legs as a piston to clear out the room, compacting and clearing out the material. At some point the room is clear, I'm looking at it wondering if she's going to use the room for herself, she discovers me looking in the window into this room.

      I'm in the clubhouse carrying a plastic cup approaching a big container of fresh water, I want a drink: should I just dip my whole cup into the water directly? (Is the cup clean?)

      07:00 ? up for WBTB

      go to kitchen, sit with cat, drink cup of milk and eat a small chunk of rye bread

      07:45 ?) back to sleep

      Feel deep wells of drowsiness, aim to sink deeply into it and fall asleep fast. I'm able to ignore sound disturbances and fall asleep.

      + bikini block party

      I'm outdoors in daylight, one some typical suburban street. All the neighbors are out lounging around. In the middle of the street two girls are lying in bikinis on a very large picnic blanket that extents from the middle of the street up onto the sidewalk. The girls are lying on it in the middle of the street. They say something (but I forgot).

      My wife and I are standing in front of a group of girls/woman in bikinis on their front lawn and sidewalk. Farther up the lawn is a very tanned (including the face) of a woman in a sexy black bikini, it's so tight that a camel-toe is very pronounced, and I sneak several peeks at this.

      There are two girls at our feet in bikinis, one is on an air mattress, which starts to leak. Did we pop it? I get down on the ground and try to re-inflate it while the girl is still lying on it. I'm blowing into it but air is still escaping, there must be a leak. The 2nd girl is to the right and my right arm is rubbing firmly against her left leg (she's lying on her stomach) and I really enjoy this contact. The air-mattress girl gets up and I keep trying to inflate the mattress, I pat the mattress several times and it seems to me holding air now.

      + red quarterstaff

      I'm in a room with a closet. I go to the closet and inside I see a big collection (10+) of "quarterstaffs" in tall leather holsters hanging there. They're all dark with one exception of a bright red one, I snort and say of COURSE I'll select the red one. These staffs have been placed here by (my patron? lover? Some male [ew!]). I take it out into the room and withdraw the staff from the holster. (It's more the size and shape of a Tae Kwon Do stick). At one end of the stick is a gel grip, I grab it and feel for the grip it gives. I notice the opposite side of the stick has a longer grip, it must be the base, I grab a hold of it and get an instant thrill of the sensation of the grip. It's not a gel grip, I notice it's some sort of luxurious fur, and run my finger in it and look closely at it for a few moments.

      + super hero costume leggings

      I'm some house, super hero family?, the men need to go out and rescue some of the women(?), I say "bring me my costume" and a guy brings it to me and I start putting it on: it's knitted leggings/hose, of multiple colors like a rainbow. As I pull up the hose over my legs I start noticing imperfections and larger holes in the hose. These were supposed to be brand new! I mention the holes and the guy says "you should have checked them before putting them on."

      + terrifying train ride, fast food leftovers

      I'm holding on to the left outside of a large train locomotive while it is moving forwards. The train track has a wall along the left side which is getting disturbingly closer to me, I may be squished! I'm trying to lean my head out farther to the left to look ahead to see if the wall opens up or closes more, but the train is going so fast and there are things jutting out from the wall so I dare not stick my head out and I hold tightly to the train while the wall closes in on me. The train reaches and intersection and stops and there is some director man on the ground, who starts criticizing the train engineer for stopping, my wife is the engineer. The guy says "distracted female driver is not paying attention!" my wife responds by immediately starting the train forwards again, I'm calling in a foreign language "Honey! …. Darling!" trying to catch her attention so I can climb in to the cab. She does not hear me.

      I'm on top of the front of the train, slowly directing it along a very curvy path. A sharp left turn comes up, I see the two parallel tracks. I think we can make it if we go really slowly. We make it. We're trying to get back to the street. We approach a fast-food restaurant and I direct the train to drive through it?

      I'm walking through the restaurant looking at the tables and the leftovers there. I see a very small mini-cat jump into the leftovers on a table and dig in eating vigorously. I walk by one table and notice it has a small cardboard box filled with one of the specials: a pile (dozens) of small circular meat patties piled deep in the box. Something like this:



      + shark slide hill inflatable ride

      I'm riding up a large inflatable slide ride on some inflatable boat. It is a water ride. As we're nearing the top I get concerned about a shark attack. Our boat is near the left side of the water near the "hard ground" and I want to get off because it will be safe there. Right here on the shore in the water is a dangerous position. We right back down the slide, just about all the way to the bottom, and I think how are we going to get back up again?


      + (near miss) the video game that seemed so real (white bladed dagger & short sword, tools, dice, family's voices), touching chairs, digging out wall panels

      Semi-lucid. I'm in an indoor location and I recognize that I am not in a waking/"real" environment. I'm amazed at how solid and real things look and feel, like the wooden knob on top of the back of a chair, I touch it and think it feel like waking. I rationalize the thoughts by imagining that I'm inside some ultra-realistic virtual reality video game. There are little cubbies against the wall, and a number of discolored places where I dig into and find items. I find a small white-bladed knife embedded in one of these wall holes and pull it out. I notice grates on the floor leading to passage ways below(?). I continue pulling out white-bladed devices: one has a very short blade, one is longer, and a third one which is an indeterminate device. I hang all 3 of them on my utility belt.

      I hear the voices of family members (son S2), and I imagine they're just beyond the wall in the next room. I'm concerned that if they enter in my room that they will disturb this game experience and it will end. (Probably incorporating waking voices into the dream).

      I'm back in the cubbies along the floor next to the wall finding things. I find a strange multi-faceted game die, 20-side I think, but it's more egg-shaped than spherical. I also find two normal cube-shaped 6-sided dice. I imagine I must roll these dice and the outcome will direct what I must do next in the game. I put these dice into my pockets which I think are getting quite full.


      + (f) meyer's lemon tree

    3. Fragment and Dream [Sensei comp Day 1]

      by , 01-26-2015 at 12:25 AM
      I went to bed really late last night so it's not surprising to me that I only got two fragments. I really need to buckle down for this competition now that I have a dare. Thanks Percy for daring me and I will try my absolute best to get the dare done.

      Non-Lucid
      Questioning
      Lucid

      Fragment:
      I am playing a video game with one of my friends, it is a stealth game and we are hiding in some bushes while a searchlight passes over our heads. My friend asks me if any shade counts as being hidden and I answer yes. His character moves to a sign and crouches in the shade, the searchlight passes right over him and does not react.

      Short Dream:
      I am in an empty dam with a random DC, he seems to be putting some explosives at the dam wall, I realise that the other side is completely filled with water. He puts the last of the explosives down and tells me to start running. We both begin to run to a ladder that is about 50 meters away from us. He reaches is first and as we begin to climb I hear an explosion and the sound of water. I try to climb faster but the wall of water reaches us before we get to the top. I feel myself being pushed agaisnt a wall while holding my breath. My view goes black and the dream ends.

      Not too much this time but now that I am back from holidays I expect to get a lot more dreaming done. Thanks again Percy for the dare and I hope I'll be able to complete it for you.

      - Have a third Lucid Dream.
      - Have a conversation with a DC.
      - Fly.
      - Meet my Dream Guide.
      - Summon and animal and ask it a question. [Dare]
    4. 1/23/15 Petite Jennifer Aniston "Encounter"

      by , 01-23-2015 at 09:05 PM
      Another quick recap...gotta keep up with my DJ with Sensei's competition starting tomorrow night (for my time zone). I can move whole cars to get around traffic jam (like imaginings IWL)! Aha. then fly around cityscape! Void or DEILD without sense of body IWL...felt different from normal void and a little uncomfortable making me wonder if slight sense of REM atonia but not return to bed feeling present normal dream exits. Scene reforms at a parking garage try to fly, odd back to ground to slither. Awnry old ladies...prank them a bit. Homeless guy-think of past LD punches on DC's but no interest. Float around fun. Find a petite 20's Jennifer Aniston longer hair in a nice silky short dress. Undress multiple sexy layers. Touch. Super petite...wow. Sex.

    5. Rotten Eggs

      by , 01-23-2015 at 04:24 AM
      Had my second lucid yesterday. I was not expecting it but it's definitely a welcome thing. I have also been trying WILD but can't seem to really get the technique down. I was having a nap and my body was feeling heavy, I felt like I was hit in the face by a by a ball and very clearly saw a room, it felt like for a second I was there but the feeling went a way and the picture disappeared.

      Non-Lucid
      Questioning
      Lucid

      I was at school with my dad and sister. We were walking through the school grounds and I saw a couple of my friends there. I wanted to talk to them but my dad was getting really annoyed for some reason. He lead me to the home economics room where there were some staff cleaning. My dad walked over to a bucket and started to pick out and throw away huge amounts of rotten eggs. The staff began to notice and they all protested to what my dad was doing. I was sitting opposite to him and I picked out one of the eggs and looked at the yolk. It was a sickly grey/green colour and crumbled in my hand when I touched it. The staff told my dad they would get all of the good eggs and send it to him. My dad refused and began to cut up all of the egg whites into small squares and put them onto a plate. I decided to leave him and go explore the rest of of the school. On my way out I heard one of the staff call me moo, this puzzled me but I decided to ignore the feeling and leave the room. I made my way towards the basketball court and noticed that the school was completely deserted, I came to the conclusion that everyone had left. I passed some lockers on my way to the court and saw one of the people from my class there. He called out to me but I ignored him for some reason and kept on walking. He stopped me as I reached the basketball court and began to talk to me about his day. I wasn't really paying attention to what he was saying but I snapped back to attention when he asked me how my day went. "You wouldn't believe how insane my day was...how was my day?" As much as I tried to think I could not put my finger on what had happened before now. I decided to do a nose pinch check just to make sure I wasn't dreaming and sure enough I breathed through both nostrils and everything shot into focus. I said aloud that I was dreaming and the person from my class immediately morphed into a random DC that bolted away, shoving me in the process. I stumbled backwards but managed to regain my balance, noticing that the stability of the dream had been completely ruined. I thought about rubbing my hands together but hesitated and woke up.

      I'm really happy about this one. I managed to do the RC because I found something to be strange inside the dream and I feel like that's a real accomplishment. I hope that the competition coming up this friday will motivate me some more to have another one, that would be awesome. It's kind of unfortunate that the stumble completely shattered stability. The dream was quite vivid and andfelt quite stable and I was going to try to do something before I was shoved. I don't know why the DC freaked out like that though.

      - Have my second lucid dream.
      - Have a conversation with a DC
      - Fly.
      - Find my Dream Guide.
    6. 2015-01-21 morphing armor, bear w/gas mask, toilet, hot topless girl, carry/touch naked girl

      by , 01-21-2015 at 09:53 PM
      23:49 bedtime

      00:00 2015-01-21

      A number of dreams, didn't record, still catching up on sleep

      06:14

      + monitoring some countdown across parallel screens high up from the ground; they say don't eat the green pizza (I ate it anyway)

      + (f) (brother in law and sister at concert?)

      + fight! chrome-mirror armor black fins morph inside; disarm woman, partner and I fight her

      It starts with a close up view of my (guy) partner's armor: I see the chest and shoulders. It is full-body plate mail that is so shiny and reflective that it looks like polished chrome. It has a lot of (blackish) wavy/frilly ornamentation/fins on it near the joints. These "fins" are a disadvantage in battle since the opponent could use them to get a grip on you. So in preparation for the battle, I observer as the armor morphs, "sucking in" the fins inside the armor and closing the gaps so that only shiny chrome remains. This happens 3-4 times.

      Then the battle begins. It's me and armor-guy against a woman. As soon as the "go" signal is given I instantly bat my hand at the woman's weapon and disarm her. We are fighting on the outside of some sort multi-story structure with many different platforms of elevation. Her weapon goes clattering down to the "moat" around the structure on the ground, I jump/fly down to pick it up to make sure she remains unarmed.

      The partner amor-guy is pommeling the woman and gets her "down to 3 hit points" left, at which point she inexplicably recovers and goes on the offensive.

      06:18 back to sleep

      06:47 can't sleep, wife's snoring/breathing loudly, get up go to kitchen, drink milk, work on laptop/chat a bit with Sensei

      I'm really upset that I can't sleep. I'm missing the best REM of the day! But I start to feel tired eventually then decide to rush to bed before it gets too late. Wife is still a bit noisy and traffic is starting outside for the morning rush but I feel tired and I aim directly for sleep and I fall asleep in just a minute or so.

      In fact, this may be an ideal wake/sleep pattern on days when I can sleep in. If I had tried MILD I may have had a good shot at lucidity since the dreams were fairly aware. But I was so concerned about getting to sleep that I just aimed directly for instant unconsciousness, and I nailed it.

      08:27 back to bed

      10:42

      + adventure with guy with power shoes who can enter pictures, I show him the power can work even without pictures

      He finds these magical shoes, I'm walking around with him and look at pictures/scenes with roman-looking column work. I'm telling him that he can use the power without needing images, it's up to his imagination.

      + wife chastises son S2, he's with his GF and one guy friend, they give wife nasty look, his GF writes me a message

      My son is playing a video game with his girlfriend and another friend. My wife chastises him for wasting time, they stop and come out of the room, his girlfriend gives my wife a nasty look. I receive an (email?) from her and read it, it has something like she really likes fathers that "….???…" I think about this message later on in the night and wonder if she "liked" me.

      + see son S2 in small room with another girl, playing with animals, I enter, play with animals, huge black bear outside room wearing a gas mask

      I see my son S2 in a little play house in a room, with another girl, and they're playing with some animal. I go in and look at the animal (like an otter?). Then it's a sort of a dog, and I'm taking off some underwear with scratch mark/poo on it, and the dog gets its nose tangled in the underwear smelling it, and I'm trying to get it away from the dog thing when I glance to the left and THERE'S A HUGE BLACK BEAR sitting just outside the playhouse. I think "oh man I'm a goner." The little playhouse will crumple with a single touch of this massive bear's giant paws, then this huge bear will surely maul me. I see wavy like white things where the claws should be. I think of my pepper spray and start to take it out of my bag to try to scare away the bear by spraying its face, then I get a better look at its face (it's wearing a hood?), and I see IT'S WEARING A GAS MASK! Argh, there's no hope. Some point later I'm outside the play house and the bear is reduced to the size of a small stuffed animal.

      + waiting to go to toilet in middle of room, more cleaning women just keep entering, shoo them away, room bounces on waves

      I walk into a room, it's a fairly large indoor room, in the middle of the room on a sort of a raised platform is a toilet. There is some writing on the closed lid of the toilet and I'm walking around the toilet to try to read it. There are also some red "alignment marks" on the closed lid, and there are matching red alignment marks on the floor. Cleaning woman come in from a staff room to the side and tells me that I need to stand on the red floor marks to use the toilet. I tell her I understand this and I'm trying to read the writing on the lid. I'm walking around the toilet waiting for the cleaning people to leave so I can pee. More and more cleaning women come in. After waiting for a while I tell them in a foreign language, "I NEED TO USE THE TOILET." Most leave to the utility room except one. I can't wait so I whip out the thang and start to go, but now I'm standing not over the toilet by in an area closer to the windows and this utility door. I imagine she may get a peek at my (ahem). It's out and I see it, longer than waking (woohoo). The entire room/building starts rocking violently up and down like it's riding on waves, and I look up and out the tall glass wall windows (dream sign) out on to a lake. I think big waves come in from that lake and cause this entire building to move like this (I don't see any waves on the lake though).

      + see stunning topless masseuse/escort walking outside going into another building, building a rug store

      I'm walking outdoors towards an entrance to a fairly large high-tech style building. A woman has left a door to my left and is also heading for the same entrance as me, our paths will intersect at the door we're heading for and she's on my left. I notice she's a stunningly beautiful young lady and her top is entirely open and her lovely breasts are completely exposed. I imagine she works in a masasge/escort spa and is on break, and that she doesn't care if she's exposed.

      I enter the building and a large store within the building. I glance at another naked young woman who's running by, and see her (fairly small) breasts and also her exposed v-jay. I enter an opening in a railing to the (checkout area?) of this store. I glance behind me and see a man doing remodeling work in a large enclosed store-within-the-store and think this will be a rug factory/store, and they'll have trouble because there's already another rug store in this complex.

      + altercation with annoying guy in aerobics class who taunts me

      I'm in an aerobics class. The teacher and the students are all shuffling to the left, then come back shuffling to the right. I'm standing in place because I think this shuffling is stupid. I'm standing, with my legs spread out and leaning far forwards doing a stretch. The class moves around me, and some guy behind me starts taunting me about the fat around my ankles (!). I stand up and face him, he continues to insult me, and I respond with some insults to him (forgot the dialogue), at some point I push him down(?).

      + kissing a girl

      Quick kiss at first, she's responsive, I go for more lips action, get lucid as I wake up moving my lips?

      + surprised by old house cleaner woman who slept on couch, enter garage girl's passed out, she's naked, I carry her to the bathroom in my arms, have some fun

      I'm striding in to the kitchen of my prior adult house (I recognize the location only after waking up). As I pass the opening to the family room on the left an older woman quickly strides out of the family room into the kitchen ahead of me. She's wearing a (pink?) robe and looks like she's wearing rollers in her hair and looks like she just woke up. I'm a bit surprised/startled at her presence, I think the's the cleaning/helper woman and she must have arrived last night and spent the night. I glance to the left into the family room and notice a makeshift bed set up on a couch. We both go to the garage door and open it. Standing immediately inside the door with her face pointing to the right is some other woman. She looks stunned/woozy. She immediately falls forward flat on her face onto the ground behind the washer and dryer, she's passed out. I'm trying to pick her up. I eventually get her in my arms with her head to the left and her feet to the right.

      Spoiler for sexually explicit:
      then wake up.

    7. 20 Jan 2015 - Vitriol hit a girl; Driving Car.

      by , 01-21-2015 at 04:32 AM
      >I was in the basement of a building with a blond Caucasian girl who looked to be 13-15 years old. We were both near a battery, she got sprayed with acid on her right hand and maybe on another part of her body then I quickly started to move her toward a sink while she didn't move on her own accord. With the water on, her hands went into the water (Either I put them in or she did) and I saw some blue on her right hand. Then, she dissolved before I realized what happened.

      This is perfectly in line with a conversation I had with someone on Youtube; she was literally saying "Let's pray for someone to burn in hell" and I was attempting to correct her, it didn't look as if she accepted it. The battery acid represents Vitriol; This word means acid, and it also means harsh criticism. So, I think she was harshly criticized. She did say she was part of a "Lutheren Whanau" (what is that? I know what "Lutheran" means to some extent though.) Also note that I wasn't sprayed.

      >Later, I was driving in a red 1970s Station Wagon with someone else in the front passenger seat and was looking at some people nearby at what I think was a picnic table. They were conversing about something which I believe I didn't want to conform to and I said something to them, then we drove off in the night.

    8. Diablo, rock concert

      by , 01-20-2015 at 06:23 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      First dream

      I was playing Diablo 2 : Lord of destruciton on my laptop. I was a paladin, running through the forest in the first act.

      Second dream

      I was standing in the middle of the stage. I was holding an electric guitar in my hands. When I was ready to play, I felt strong, stinging sensation in the right side of my lower body. My mother arrived, and she told me Why are you dating with sister of your brothers girlfriend? I looked at a DC standing close to the stage. A skinny blonde with pearl white teeth and brown eyes. She had pale carnation, and she was wearing casual clothes. A black shirt and jeans trousers. She was smiling to me. I saw her first time, yet my DC mother claimed that she was her. I replied to my mother Don't disturb me! I have a concert to play, and there is a weird stinging sensation in the right side of my lower body!

      *I woke up with the same weird pain, but luckily it ceased until now.*
    9. 2015-01-20 flying lessons with superman, leggo my strawberry muffin!

      by , 01-20-2015 at 12:32 PM
      00:07 bedtime

      Lots of dreams during the night -- just interested in catching up on sleep, and it got really cold (-12C) during the night, so with the exception of the below dream which I particularly spent effort on recalling they all evaporated . But this was a pretty awesome dream with fun flying so it's OK.

      08:40

      + (mini-epic) flying speed control lessons with superman (fists [medium], flat hands [top speed], arms down [slow]) then lots of practice

      I'm (DO?) following cars down a highway, they're testing steering control during heavy ABS usage, how well the cars and veer left and right under full ABS heavy breaking, and how fast they can stop. I feel like I've forgotten something at home so I tell the others I'm going to fly home to get it.

      I turn to the right and take off into the air. I decide to try flying this time with my arms at my sides, it works fine. I'm heading up in to the (B?) hills and there are a fairly large group of people at the top of the hill, I do no want to give away my presence/flying ability to them so I bank to the left, there are still some people there but fewer.

      I'm on the (back steps of my childhood home by the top near the garage?) I'm standing with two (?) people, one is a girl, I'm talking about a (different?) girl and I'm feeling a bit leery about giving away my identify (as superman?). As we're talking I'm doing something with (putting a shoe in and out?) a (tree stump? / hole?)

      I go up to the street and start flying, superman is with me and I ask him about speed control. He shows me that you can modify your speed setting by the gesture you make with your hands. I wonder about punching the arm forwards but he doesn't mention that.

      Closed fists mean medium sped, open flat hands mean full high speed, and (arms at the side?) means low speed. I try both fists and open hands and do experience a speed difference.

      We're flying very low over the roofs of the neighbor's houses (G and M's house probably) in face my waist bag/belt buckle is scraping along the roof of one house, and we (land/appear) on the lawn. There's some contractor there complaining that we busted the <something>. I know our guy can build a better <something> and I see him working on it. It ends up being a small square (about 1 foot square) piece of wood with smaller pieces of wood that have been attached perpendicularly to the plane of the square piece and sawed off and sanded down.

      As we're walking away from this area we pass a table with a lot of muffins on them. My attention is grabbed by a quite large "strawberry muffin" that has different cake colors on it but most importantly a section with pink cake with red chunks like a red velvet muffin and I reach for this and so does some body else, and I yell "Get the FUCK off my strawberry muffin!"

      We do some more flying and and up in an open outdoor area. I've lost track of superman and say "OK, where's flyboy?"

      I look over a railing down a hill and think about flying down there.

      Lots of flying moments with fists and open flat hands working on speed control.

    10. Slaying demons

      by , 01-19-2015 at 06:16 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      It was in the middle of the night. The sky was clear but I couldn't see any star. I was standing in front of the campfire. In the background I could see a village with victorian houses. Gothic cathedral was barely visible in the darkness. The campfire gave dim, moody light. I saw random adventurers. Some of them stayed close to the light, but th rest was hidden in the darkness, leaving only black silhouettes in sight. We were sitting there until the morning, then we moved to the forest. We were fighting with groups of small, red demons weilding scimitars and bucklers. There were also some zombies shambling in the distance.
    11. Theme Park

      by , 01-19-2015 at 02:41 AM
      Pretty cool dream, I would've liked to have remembered more of it but I only remembered this much after I'd been thinking about it for a while. I actually didn't think I'd dreamt of anything but luckily the memories hit me like a bag of bricks and I scrambled for my journal to write as much as I could.

      Non-Lucid
      Questioning
      Lucid

      I am in a huge park with my mum, we're in a group of people and are hiking to the top of a mountian. I am talking to her about different things and I suddenly notice there seems to be a guide at the front. He seems quite un-realistically muscular and dressed like a boy scout leader/park ranger. He is wearing a beige shirt with an orange neck tie with the same beige colour shorts. The guide is also wearing what looks like a ten-gallon hat. As I stop looking at the guide, we reach the top of the mountain. He hands me an empty potato sack and tells me to slide down the mountain. I look where he's telling me to go and it seems quite dense with vegetation with a couple rocks to the side. Regardless I listen to him and prepare myself to slide down.

      Memory Gap

      I am now at the bottom of the mountain and my mum is behind me again even though she didn't go down with me. I see the entrance to the park and see that there is a booth where people are being given wristbands to allow access. I look at my own wrist and see that I didn't have one, I begin to wonder how I even got into the park without a wristband but dismiss the thought as I want to focus on getting past the booth without being caught. I begin to act like I have a wristband and as I walk past the booth I see two girls roughly my age in there, one has straight brown hair and the other has blonde, curly hair. They are both quite attractive, however I hear some of my friends, they are in a carpark that is completely covered in red/orange gravel. They seem to be playing a more violent form of soccer/football so I decide to join them.

      Memory Gap

      My friends start leaving and I want to go back into the park now. I start walking towards the gate and on my way I look to my right and see part of a fence that has been completely torn off for some reason I got the slightest hint that I was dreaming because of the fence but once again I wanted to focus on reentering the park without any trouble. I enter a group of people that have their wristbands, catch one last look of the two girls and enter the park once again before the dream fades.

      One of my longer dreams actually, even though I forgot some chunks of it. One part I would've like to have remembered was the slide down the mountain. Shame that I forgot about it but at least I didn't totally forget the whole thing. I get the feeling that I've seen the brown haired girl before in my first lucid dream now that I look back on it, she was the one that told me to move carefully otherwise I would wake up. Could she be my dream guide? That would be pretty cool. I'm also beginning to notice that I am questioning dreams more, however I seem to get rid of the thought, I'm not sure why but maybe It's something I need help with.

      - Have my second Lucid Dream.
      - Have a conversation with a DC.
      - Fly.
      - Find my Dream Guide.

      Added another goal, If that girl is my dream guide I would love to tick that off the box of goals that I have, maybe she can help me.
    12. 2015-01-18 lots of short scenes, fragmented recall, butthole crabs, mountain, math

      by , 01-18-2015 at 12:50 PM
      fragmented night, tons of scenes, but a lot poorly recalled

      23:03 pre-bedtime, breathing meditation, visualization, intention setting

      23:17 bedtime

      04:03

      + climbing mountain

      (DO) -- outdoors daytime, approaching mountain, flying up mountain sides, it's guarded by elves that can cause avalanches? Reach the top and giant flat plateau with huge flat-topped boulders, I see people-shaped piles groups of stones in the distance in both directions I'm trying to see if they're real people or not.

      + riding in helicopter, system of projection

      In a helicopter ride, the pilot is talking about how there is a projection system that can project a view onto the entire scene around the helicopter but this interferes with the elevation (readings/control?)

      + enter schoolroom, one boy there, try to fly outside can't climb up; outdoor seance with psychics, girl ghost

      Enter a (school?) room, there's just one (young) boy there, it's a remedial class? See white board? Something about Alaska? I leave the room out to the back yard and want to fly but first I have to climb up the wooden fences, and I can't do it. A woman (teacher?) comes out and starts talking to me

      I'm on a sweeping hillside outdoors daylight there are hundreds of people seated on the ground all around me among the rolling hills and on the hillsides. One of the people disappears she was a ghost that has been appearing with our group (of psychics/mediums?) over the years, this was a site of some catastrophe?

      + mathematician working through a series of sine and cosine approximations, graph, eating chocolate, calculating machine that drop things at the proper period.

      A mathematician works verbally and with diagrams to calculate sin(4) (?) by successive approximation using the symmetry rules of sine and cosine, sin(4) -> cos(1) -> sin(3) -> picture transforms to a right triangle with dotted lines and there's some rule about the ratio. I"m holding a small pyramid of chocolate and take a bit off of the top and think about eating more. There is an invention of a device that you roll on the ground and it click clacks out a steady rhythm showing the period that the operator must drop things? Related to the catastrophe on the mountain?

      + 3 guys enter security door, chinatown

      I'm in a hallway in front of a security door. The door beeps and 3 guys come in, I see their faces, they're talking, one guy is showing the others around and is talking about Chinatown.

      + cooking fish; pulling parasite crab things out of my butt (yep, every bit as painful and unpleasant as it sounds)

      (Thanks a lot, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, for this "lovely" experience!) There is a fish we're cooking (on the grill?) we have cooked it as one piece instead of spread in half, and there's some concern whether or not it's correctly cooked. So I'm inspecting the fish lifting up the skin to see if the flesh is cooked and someone comments that the parasites are not dead yet, but if we put the fish back on the fire the parasites will all leave the fish. I see little leech-like things squirming in the fish moving towards the tail.

      Then the parasites have matured to crab like things, have multiplied, and have all latched themselves with their claws partly into my butthole. I reach down and one by one pull them out, it's not easy as they don't want to leave and are holding on with their claws. I do this about 4-5 times, and on the last one I have to clench my abdomen and "poop" out the last one, which comes out with a chunk of poop on it. Ew.

      + rescue a guy from a deep rectangular hole, mud and poop on the bottom

      A guy is at the bottom of a deep rectangular pit about 20 feet down, it's about a 40-foot perimeter. I tell him to look out for the pile of poop. There is a pile of mud on the floor, too, I lift him out (with a crane?).

      + walking past woman on train who apparently reads my mind, sit with her for a bit

      I'm on a train, walking past a woman I consider unattractive, I think to myself "old and ugly", then the woman says something about "old and ugly," and my curiosity is a bit raised, I feel a bit bad about this thought and I ask if I may sit with her for a bit, the corridor is a series of multi-level bunks laid out across the path so you must climb up/down/over each one. Multi-colored (flowered?) upholstery.

      WBTB, failed BTS, hours later sleep again/sleep in

      06:30 (?) give up, get out of bed

      08:30 (?) back to bed,

      12:00 approx.

      1mg melatonin out of desperation to get back to sleep, doesn't help, just makes me very groggy when I finally do get back to sleep hours later

      + guy jumps on back of truck, ask another guy "what's 'Candy' in Chinese?

      A truck is driving down a road (Ce St. in B approaching Sh ave?), and a migrant worker leaps out from between some cars into the road and hops up into the back of the truck. (My view is following the truck.). I think he does this every day in this same truck to get a ride. I'm in the truck and the conversation is about candy. I'm asking a chinese guy who's sitting against the left side of the truck bed "<what's candy in Chinese>" (in a foreign language), he answers, <….>, which he says translates as "sweet children."

      + returning with a group to sit at the table for more drinking, choosing a good spot

      At a party with a group, we're returning to the tables in an outdoor patio for more drinking. I'm placing clean classes on the table, there are used pint glasses there I pick one up and see the remains of a previous drink there. People are sitting and I'm trying to choose the best spot among the people I like, I'm finding it hard to get a good spot.

      + placing long stemmed flowers into vases outside

      Outside a home in twilight with group of people, I'm holding a bunch of long-stemmed branches covered with little colorful flowers, there is some element of deception going on, I place the stems into pots next to us.

      + (f) old GF, SB?

      + (f) people laughing about translation of address on envelope?

    13. Drunk dream

      by , 01-18-2015 at 11:12 AM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      I was in my home. Brother came back from work in Switzerland, and made a party. We were drinking vodka and wine. Lots of them. There were many bottles spread across the whole house. Piles of bottles, each of them different. We were drinking and talking. When the last bottle was empty, we took a taxi cab to the local shop. They told the driver that we need to buy more vodka. I yelled And what about me!?? Driver replied They haven't forgot about you. and handed me a bottle of wine. We walked down the street from the shop, and went to my house by foot, to drink much more. My abilities to walk and see weren't impaired, but I felt stronger and stronger urge to drink.

      *I was completely drunk when I came back from my friends 18th birthday. It was a special occasion, so I broke my rules to never drink too much. That's the effect.*
    14. Evil Robot

      by , 01-18-2015 at 02:52 AM
      I completely forgot to post this yesterday as I was quite busy with different things. I have another dream coming after this as I had another one last night as well.

      Non-Lucid
      Questioning
      Lucid

      I was lost in a dark forest in the middle of the night. I wasn't too worried about being lost as I was just looking around. The forest itself was made up completely of pine trees and the ground was really muddy where I was walking. I made my way ot of the forest when I saw the headlights of a small truck. I saw a DC standing near the truck and I asked him if he could help me get home. He shrugged at me before saying something and driving away. There was a house nearby with a light on the front porch and I saw a robot which looked like a crash test dunmy walking towards me. It told me that it would assist me to find my way home. The scene then changed to a constrcution site/quarry and I was getting really annoyed with the robot for not helping me at all. The robot was immediatley hostile and told me it would slit my stomach open . I started running and the scene changed again to my dad's study where I slammed the door shut and held it. He didn't seem to mind much and told me to hold the door shut otherwise the robot would get me, I suddenly lost my grib on the door and scrambled to get it back before the robot burst in with a knife and started slashing at my stomach. I felt the cuts but was slightly confused when they didn't hurt in the slightest. I continued to wonder about this before I woke up.

      Pretty weird one, it was creepy but didn't scare me as much as I thought it would so I'm not going to class this as a nightmare. A real change of pace to the beautiful scenes that I've had for the past few nights but that doesn't really bother me, at least I'm dreaming.

      - Have my2nd Lucid Dream.
      - Have a converstation with a DC.
      - Fly.

    15. 2015-01-17 epic nightmare, rushing to bus, daring exposure with woman at mirror

      by , 01-17-2015 at 11:07 AM
      Details to follow later.

      One of the most unpleasant situations in my life has resulted in one of my most memorable dreams (albeit nightmare basically):

      + (epic) struggle against me and my wife at work: theft of our precious silver, confrontation, race to the police, return to work, locked in, weird visuals of the process of manipulation of clay into various faces, drive through suburban cityscape with hills of golden maple and pink cherry trees, view of massive mall/movie theater complex to the right

      I'm in a workplace with my wife, there are long hallways and clusters of desks spread around. ("We" means wife and I were basically together the entire dream). We go to a different group in a cluster of desks/cubes, they're hostile to us. Their manager is also hostile to us. A guy there doesn't like me wife because he thinks that she is always giving them tasks to do with out any effort spent herself.

      I see down a long hallway that this guy is standing at the cabinet that houses our precious silver tableware. The top drawer of the cabinet is open, and this guy has a plastic bag spread out on top and is unloading the tableware into the bag. I run up to him and yell at him and shove him away angrily. I speak to my wife that we need to lock the cabinet in the hallway, I imagine a key inserted into a lock and turning, engaging a lock. I return to the cabinet and open the top drawer, and it is empty, we've been robbed!

      We're again with the hostile group, sitting down leaning against the desks, and I get a vibe that the guy is going to attack us, he stands up and starts backing away, I think he's trying to get proper distance to launch some attack, so I quickly run up to him and close the distance, he keeps backing away and I keep coming up right next to him. I look down and see that he has a revolver tucked into the front of his jeans, I immediately grab for it and take it into my left hand, start to walk away and call for my wife to join me urgently, we must get out of here and call the police. The pistol is small, but deadly, he could have shot us. I right away open the cylinder and empty the (somewhat colorful) rounds into my right hand, and place the rounds into my right pocket and the now unloaded revolver into my left pocket.

      We're exiting the building in haste, we must call the police, it's important to get our story registered first, the hostiles will try to get their story first. Should we go to the PA police department or the CU police department? The PA does not deal with cases outside of their jurisdiction I think / my wife says, OK, let's go to the CU then.

      Outside in a parking lot looking for our car, the spot is empty, "They've stolen our car!" my wife exclaims. No, we "remember" quickly that we simply moved our car ourselves far away, we'll have to go and get it.

      Driving now through rolling suburban hills with businesses around. To the left I notice a striking hillside covered with shining golden maple trees. I look closer and the trees seem to be pink Japanese cherry trees. I look to the right and down a steep hill I see a massive mall complex below, it's also a giant movie theater, and as we drive past I think what sorts of movies play there, I see some large (actors?) faces on a marque, maybe I should go to this mall to check it out.

      Back in the work place, it's empty, I think they could come and lock us in.

      Talking with some guy at work, his job over the years has been to create a system for transforming lumps of clay into faces. I see a lump of clay up close, there is a narration about the different parts of it, and soon it is getting pushed and pulled and formed into a series of about 5-6 different heads/faces with open mouths, mostly sort of monster looking. I'm thinking this has taken a long time and seems sort of like a wasted effort.

      (Waking from this dream was a relief, the sense of dread and forboding was constant throughout the whole thing. I quickly realized though that as a dream it was fairly awesome in terms of "present" experience, continuity, length/coherence, and visuals.)

      + pushing through crowds crossing the street to get to the buses

      A crowd of people is standing at a crosswalk waiting for the signal to light, some are "beeping" behind us telling us to go. We wait for the signal, and cross the street, and we're in a sort of bus station. Buses and coming and going, our bus is full and leaving, there are so many buses around that we can probably catch another one.

      Move into a group of (woman?) talking/laughing about something?

      + (semi/almost lucid) getting sexually daring with a woman and in front of a mirror

      I'm in a bedroom, I'm following around a black woman, not terribly attractive but I'm still following her around. We're standing in front of a mirror her attention is not on me, but I get an idea and want to start exposing myself so that I can see myself and the woman in the mirror but so that she doesn't see me. I'm doing this on and off stopping when she looks? Then I take her aside to the bed and pull out my (ahem) to show her, and the dream ends….
