side notes

4. I’m watching Supernatural with Nicole, and Ellie’s dad Harry, who is Nicole’s dad in this dream.

On the show, it shows a fanart of young Dean and Sam and I point and say that I recognize that art style and the artist. Harry points to the TV and asks Nicole when she’s going to do the art thing.

-Jump-

Nicole gathers the necessary papers. She’s all dressed up and wearing lipstick. “Hi, I’m here to sign up for…” She says (over the phone? not sure).

Inspiration: Maybe because she mentioned some gift art she needs to draw but hasn’t found the motivation for. And I watched Supernatural the other day.

Notes: I didn’t think I was going to have good recall/dreams because I had a rough day yesterday, and I knew I had to get up to go to the store. So I was very pleasantly surprised by my first dream, and I fell back asleep happy. I’m not sure if I got the order of the dreams right though. I’m so bad at linking the time to the proper dreams in my palace. x_x And I can’t always remember the order I added things. Oh, wonder if the store parts where inspired by me having to go to the store the next morning...

3. This might take place after the game part. I walk into another part of a store. Paris Hilton is there handing away her business cards for advertising. I almost pass her, but politely go back to take the white card before moving on.

I pass by three dogs lounging in the hall. I think there was more to this but I can’t remember.

I enter a kitchen-type room where people are lounging. They seem expectant and some of them crowd me. A guy steps forward and asks if I like Geia, “Pronounced “Gee-ah or __(can’t remember)”. I think he means ‘Gaia’ as in Paganism. I say that I’m interested in it – well, I’m interested in more than one thing under that umbrella.

Next thing I know, he’s spreading something that looks like potted meat on big corn tortilla chips. That’s Geia.

They all act like it’s a big thing to like it. They explain what’s in it. Apparently something called ‘Pam’. I try it and actually like it, even though I don’t like potted meat. It actually reminds me of refried beans now that I think about it IWL. I say that I don’t like Pam but I like this. Someone else speaks up that they don’t like Pam either.

Inspiration: I’m rarely around dogs, so it’s ironic that I dream of three of them on the very day I later go and happen to see three dogs while out.

2. I’m watching a video in a room, there’s a man watching over me all stony-faced. I’ve already seen it so I’m impatient for it to be over. The video showed a pretty woman. I said something like ‘wow, she is hot’. Later, it showed some of her body beneath the clothes, and she was anorexic. I realize it was a trick to get us to see that you can’t judge by appearances.

I asked the ‘guard’ if he never got tired of doing this, because he’d surely seen the video several times now. He didn’t answer. I said ‘you’re just like Jim Kirk’. I meant that he was stubborn.

Next, I’m taken to an area in the mall-type store. At first I can’t tell what I’m standing in front of, I just see one panel. Then I realize it’s a game machine.

The first part felt like a trial, but this part feels like a competition.

I try to figure out how to work it, and press a black button up top. “Yes, this is administration.” A voice says, and I am super embarrassed as I realize I pressed the wrong button. The guy has to come fix it.

I’m playing the game, and it has Yoshi from Mario in it.

Inspiration: I was looking at some sprites and one of them was Yoshi. Only about forty-five moments passed between the last one and this one!

Fragment: Something about Maggie from The Walking Dead and food. Inspiration: Watched the new episode yesterday.

1. I go out onto the porch to talk to the waiting little old man (reminds me of an anime-style elder). The porch reminds me of my grandma’s balcony. We’re sitting on a swing as he tells me how everything fades in time and so on. Just then, a chain on the swing breaks and he sees “see?” and shows the rusted chain pieces to me.

-Jump-

Someone’s walking on grass. They pass a house where a boy is looking out, and get the feeling he knows something. They walk by four people swinging on a swingset. Almost like in a character selection screen, two of them stand out, and they might have been animanga characters. It still feels like grandma’s house, out back.

They crouch down on a plot of grass and dig out a hole, crying deeply as they lower cupped hands down. They’re holding a big seed with sprouts. The arm is like one from a teddy bear.

The old man had died and somehow the plant came from him.

Inspiration: After seeing the bear arm, it really reminded me of Teddie/Kuma from Persona 4, or Kumashii from the Thriller Bark arc, which I’m reading in One Piece. I’m really thinking the plant part comes from me finishing my Dragon Quartet series, where *spoiler* in the end they ‘reset’ the Earth to an earlier time, causing grass to start spreading back across the world as the survivors watch in awe. There’s an older man character there.

Today was a really weird day and the time change messed me up, plus I have to go get a bunch of groceries tomorrow morning after I exercise! And the hot weather is getting to me. My mind is all muddled. @_@ Must...perservere...

1. All I remember is a fluffy dark brown colored cat sitting beside a car(?) looking up at me.

2. I woke up to my voice announcing something in my head then remembered the dream.

Apparently there was some kind of competition going on. I’m sitting in the audience talking about it to someone.

A girl had somehow accidentally gotten off the stands into the middle of it. It was Greece vs. Turkey. She was Greek. She was looking panicked but trying to follow along, although it was obvious she just wanted out.

It came to the final moment. She was standing against a wall and her opponent was a few paces away against the wall as well. Another opponent lands next to her, blocking her move out. The only thing she can do now to win is flip around him to the empty spot between them.

Later, she’s talking to someone about how she doesn’t care if they think she should be happy to have been put in the position to win for her country, she didn’t ask for it, didn’t train for it, etc. She wanted an acknowledgement of what they put her through by not stopping it.

Inspiration: I don’t know if it was the inspiration, but Greece vs Turkey reminds me of Axis Powers Hetalia. I can’t think of why else those countries would be in it.

Hey, I won't say many details about this dream because I was going to write the entry a few days ago when it happened but a bunch came up and I came back today and it didn't auto save anything, so I'm not gonna write a detailed DJ, especially because I have several others I'd like to type up tonight that were much more interesting, but ironically not lucid.

Anyway, I dreamt I bought some soup at a Chinese restaurant and I had no money, so I ran off with it. I became lucid in the process and threw the soup aside. I then spawned in an orange Dodge Charger and get in it to drive. That's about all I remember.

Don't worry, much more interesting dream journals to come in the next hour or so.

1. [Non-Lucid] [Emotional]
I'm looking for Emily as I have become worried because I haven't heard from her for a while, I even thought about contacting her mother at this point.

Now I'm at a party of some sort and I find Emily and we start talking, she says "I love you" this surprised me and I replied with "What?", (You would not believe how much I love her in waking life) not sure what happens next but I follow her and then she runs off leaving me.

I go find her, she's sitting at a table looking down at this sheet of brown paper with text on it on the table (fat guy with a grey shirt on a couch opposite her saying something), so I approach her and I ask what's wrong, shes silent, this is worrying me, I talk to her then she lets out a few high pitched screams so I back off...then this random guy comes and crouches beside her, he says something to her, i don't know what but she seems ok with it...she then runs off I think, I stay at the table and cry. I wake up crying.

This felt so real, the emotions felt so real.

2. [Lucid] [WILD/DILD?]
I'm laying in my bed then all of a sudden I hear the sound of air rushing past my ears, I then see like a movie shot of me falling down to earth. (It was so colourful, was like an evening orange sky)

//I'm now in my bedroom standing in the middle and the front door is open so I rush outside onto my street (its quite bright) and I activate super speed and started running up the street about to fly// but I wake up. I was also wearing a white cape.

Sidenotes:
Should have stabilized first.

Fragments:
Wrapping this thick black wire around a palm tree on the floor or something.

Possible dream signs:
Emily

3. I’m inside grandma’s house. She tells me she’s made something to eat, and I’m disappointed because I was planning on going home for that, so I could watch what I eat.

While eating, grandma tells me about a dinosaur that was spotted. Me and Rane talk about how we used to see them more when we were younger.

We’re riding in a car down a road, looking out at the woods for signs of the dinosaur. We see a field of black goats, and I say that the dinosaur must not be there because the goats were okay. I say it must have gone off into the woods.

We drive into a town full of houses that look like they were made of cheap kid’s furniture. I say that it seems a shame to waste a whole town [just because the people in it before were forced out for doing something wrong]. Rane reminds me that it’s being used for ‘this’ now.

She seems to be looking for a specific house, mumbling under her breath. She stops and opens a part on one light-colored house. Inside are two envelopes. I think they’re old mail left from when the people left and she’s looking for supplies. This is a dystopia, after all.

She takes one and starts opening it, and I ask if I can open the other, to which she replies that I can.

In her package, there was a bag full of jewelry and things. They were a few heart shaped pieces.

-Jump-

I’m in a central building there, talking to a little creature (reminds me of Boota from Gurren Lagann – without the glasses of course!). He’s talking to me about what I need to do to get signed up there to store things. Apparently everyone already has a basic account, but you have to make it official by signing a form.

I look around and see relics from before the apocalypse. There are some anime things and even a few ‘gifs’. I contemplate about the less conventional things, like yaoi, what about people who like those things, but then shrug and realize they still have the internet.

We hear someone come in, and I bend down to look under this metal block. I see someone wearing a skirt or dress and assume it’s a woman. The creature seems to know her, and he runs up my body. I instinctively clutch him and he hides against my body. He doesn’t seem afraid though.

Inspiration: Maybe from watching Helix? And I got a package in the mail recently, and Rane gets things sometimes.

4. Duplicating socks, one was a homemade pair by mom. I thought that duplicated items weren’t as effective as the originals, but seeing the results, I thought it was a really cool idea.

5. I woke up and all the thoughts of my dreams I’d had were scrambling around my head. I had my iPod Touch, opened up Notes and pressed the + sign. I started making a word-list of things I could remember. One word was ‘eggs’.

…I woke up for real, confused, and realized I’d had a false awakening. And had no idea what the eggs part was about.

Notes: The FA is a great sign! I’m so focused on recall when I first wake up, I only do an RC after I’ve got it all straight in my head. I guess I can only wait and see how it develops from here.

Also, turning to lie on my back instead of sitting up worked well for making sure I got the dreams in my palace, because I can’t get to sleep on my back. After that I just had to keep my thoughts from wandering off so I could focus on putting the dreams in.

1. Me thinking that all the fish wouldn’t be able to fit in the room/box.

Inspiration: Me making a new dream palace. In the dream, the image of the fish in it came to mind. Maybe because I was looking for a water Pokemon to put in the water area in Twinleaf Town.

2. In a park-type area, Sarah from Helix was riding a bike around but then is being surrounded by monsters, but Alan comes in to save her.

Inspiration: Watched a new episode of Helix last night just before I laid down. The surroundings reminded me of Pokemon Platinum, which is one of my memory palaces.

1. [Non-Lucid] [Long]
I'm trying to get away from these people who are chasing me, I'm at a petrol station I think, then the bad guys show up in a black van and they get out and attack me with a long collapsed colourful umbrella, he tries to stab me in the eye with the chrome tip but luckily I move slightly and he misses, I then grab the umbrella and shout "RAPE, RAPE", they of course flee the scene and I acquired the umbrella, a cop on a motorbike shows up and says something too me then goes after the bad guys.
MISSION SUCCESS - ACQUIRE UMBRELLA

Now I'm in Minecraft and were in this place that we are trying to escape, I look around and see that the walls are quite high so I figure I would build a 1X1 tower, so i build this tower and its getting pretty tall...I look down at the ground and I start wobbling and become quite disoriented so I decide to start building up diagonally instead...I fall off...before I hit the ground I thought "No one better steel my umbrella :/".

I respawn and it seems we made it out of the room, as I respawn I see the world loading, while I'm looking around this spiral staircase thingy I notice due to the would loading that it also goes underground, so I go take a look and its dark so I run down the stair case while spamming redstone torches on the wall, they emitted a little light but disappear after being placed probably because I don't have permission to build.

2. [Non-Lucid]
I'm in this room with a big red sofa in the middle, I'm arguing with Neil about something then all of a sudden he throws a SKY remote at my and it hits me really hard in the side of my head and it wakes me up, the pain still lingers upon waking up.

I fall back to sleep and I'm in the same dream, I'm running as Neil is chasing me...were no in Minecraft and I run into this severely overgrown forest, I have to destroy leaves to carve a path, he almost catches me but I get away and escape the forest and that's the end of that.

---------------
Fragments:
Walking down these marble stairs while holding onto my Mum.
There's 3 ambulances outside this house, something about Walter White.

Possible dream signs:
Neil, Minecraft, Stairs, Mum, SKY remote?

1. [Non-Lucid] [Long]
Im driving to a store in the game GTA IV with a friend Inferno I think, I hit a few police cars on the way there because I'm a pretty bad driver, I then turn into the stores car park where Inferno is parked and accidentally running him over killing him, noticing we haven't got microphones I type "sorry bro" in the chat.

I'm in a shop now, (I barely remember this part now) then at the cashier a guy in our group bought these childish black and green glasses, we leave the store and walk across this open concrete area (kinda like a wall-less car park with a roof).

Someone mentions a ride we should go on, now I'm thinking to myself can a wheelchair go on this ride.
We are now at the ride and I'm being carried while still in my wheelchair onto a little platform on the ride, the ride is constantly slowly moving and my right wheel is hanging off the platform so the guy moves my chair a little so the wheel is on the platform. This ride is hard to describe but at one point my head was touching a very soft cushiony wall.

When the ride was over I was being carried out of the ride and everyone for some reason starts cheering and applauding, Im like ooook um...thanks?. The exit to the ride is a lot of steps and we decided to sit at a bench on the grass field at the top of the steps, I'm sitting there at the bench and im complaining that my chair is creaking and it doesn't feel right, everyone else decides to drag the bench further away from the steps, this muddied up the grass a little.

Fragments:
I'm climbing some tall blue tower thing with someone.
Some crazy think that morphs into things you kind of dislike.

Possible dream signs:
Wheelchair, Inferno, Steps, Neil

1. Car keys, red hair dye, playing with my old Gameboy Color accessory, I turned the light off on it after looking through the zoom part.

Inspiration: I put mom’s car keys in her purse, and also saw my sister’s keys. I recently died some of my hair red. No idea why I suddenly dreamed about that old accessory (mine had a top accessory part with a magnifier and light), wow. XD Maybe because one of my palaces is Pokemon Platinum… I only ever played Pokemon back then.

Also, I woke up at 1:36, which is only about 3 hours after I fell asleep. I notice I’m starting to wake around this time for my first awakening, but it's harder for me to remember details later, I need to really work on making better triggers for earlier dreams like this one!

2. I’m talking to someone about some of my old Japanese translations, and there’s a thick book that’s fallen apart in half towards the back. I look at the page number on the second half, which is 40. I’m discussing with someone the plot of the book and where the fallen off half goes.

3. In a field-type area, Cronus rides in on a horse. Eridan looks really glad to see him. It had the feeling of Cronus giving in to something after a long time of not doing it. Like Cronus was accepting his part in whatever was happening. Eridan gets up on the horse behind him.
The image of the two was a bit fuzzy, like I couldn’t gasp the features just right.

Inspiration: ‘Cause I’m rereading Homestuck, just read the conversation between Eridan and Rose where she blows up his computer. xD Also, I just left off in the part in my book where a dragon (probably) finally accepts his place in his destiny. Also, there was an army camped in a field talking serious business. And I just remembered that Eridan rides a seahorse...

Notes: I woke up many times last night, omg. I think it was from overexcitement, my brain was too active. I had tantalizing glimpses of at least two more dreams but couldn’t tease the details out. :/

I think if I have one more dream about wandering buildings after this, I'll add it to my dream signs.

3. I’m wandering around a neighborhood and buildings. I run into a guy, and I ask him what these two letters in my ‘interests’ box stand for. In my mind I see a column with my ‘interests’ such as fandoms, hobbies, etc, written in it. I think the last letter was ‘f’. It’s how people find each other there I guess. He tells me the media name and I say ‘oh yeah’.

I wander into a building and am lost. I find a room and think it could be an exit. There’s a young African American girl standing there. I ask her about the room, and she says her mom is in there sleeping because she’s sick. I ask her if that’s all that’s in there, because I’m still hoping for a way out. She silently closes the curtain(?) over the room.

I feel like that scene repeated, like I went through there before. And that I’d seen the girl outside at my old school and talked to her.

Inspiration: Two letters part comes from my PAO system.

4. In a school cafeteria with my friends, the lunchlady tells me the food has already been put away. We manage to find some cookies(?) to eat though.

Lunchlady reminded me unfavorably of Miss L, an old teacher. Or Miss Trunchbull from Matilda. I swear I’ve had a very similar dream before, that or my déjà vu is just on the fritz again. @_@

I added my dreams signs to a memory palace, so I can run through them as a reminder as needed. I have a hard time remembering them all for RC's, so I'm starting with water and trying to increase my awareness of it first.

1. Something about Sollux and thumbs.

Inspiration: I’m continuing my reread of Homestuck and talked to Sollux in the Alterniabound flash game, which made me remember how much I love him. Wish I remembered what the thumbs part was about, lol. Should have made a better trigger for it, because I think I remembered when I first woke up. But hey, it was 2:35 AM.

2. I’m at a store looking at a bunch of anime posters on a rack. I see some from a show I know, but they’re from a series/season I haven’t seen yet. I see one of Hibari and start digging it out. There’s someone else there and they’re helping me get it out of its wrapping so I can see its number.

There are multiple numbers so I end up just looking for the SKU number. I think it said ‘SKA’ but I knew it was the SKU number, so I wrote it down so I could look for the poster online or something.

It’s a bit fuzzy here, but ‘I’ say “Kamikorosenai~” (Don’t bite me to death~”) without the 'de' on the end in a plea for Hibari not to hurt me.

Inspiration: The numbers and letters had to come from my PAO system, which is funny, because I used that very system to remember the SKU part in my dream palace.

Note: Hibari is from the manga/anime Katekyo Hitman Reborn!. ‘Kamikorosu’ (“I’ll bite you to death.”) is his catchphrase. He’s a stickler for rules so maybe he thought I was stealing his poster. 8)

1. [Non-Lucid] [Minecraft]
I appear to be in a competition of some sort in Minecraft where we have to put these 3 panels in order before everyone else, there's 4 of us all stood facing each-other, we have these things strapped to our wast with 8 bowl shaped buttons with arrows on them I think to select the panels. It got pretty hard and I took to long and I think i may have failed.

I'm now in a room made of white Pine logs, 3 walls are covered in singular chests with signs on them which are completely full of useful stuff.

I decide to open the chests to check what's in them, 1 of them was full of iron ingots, the 4th wall is covered in presents of different colours and sizes and in the middle of this room is a square pile of presents also, theirs a thin tall present that almost fell over but I grabbed it before it hit me.

There is also a door to the lobby which I opened slightly to peek out but I got scared and closed it.

Fragments:
I saw a hand and touched one of the fingers, it felt cold and rubbery.
Saw a eagle eye view of the room, it appeared to be surrounded by a maze.

Possible dream signs:
Minecraft, Hand, Door
