    1. remarkable precognitive dreams

      by , 09-02-2013 at 04:21 PM
      I would like share some details of how precise precognitive dreams can be.
      after I had several dreams like that I can clearly distinguish them and they are granted for me. And to be honest, first times when I was younger I didn't know that such dreams are so special as I was thinking that every second person has it too and it is very common... but it seemed I was very wrong. Anyways, at least I am happy to be in this forum and can read about other people also.

      Here are some proofs of precise and clearly precognitive dreams, using them with consciousness and knowledge after waking up. I give here two different types:

      1. Clear image, with no contradiction: I dreamed of my father watching TV while I was laying in the bed, then he left home at 14:31. I can see the digital clock because it is next to the door. everything like in real.
      When I woke up from an afternoon sleep it was about 13:50 and I could not see my father, normally comes home at 6pm, but I was remembering my dream like seeing it with one closed eye, coz I was sleeping in the same direction and could see the clock clearly. So I deduced that he should come soon. Few minutes later he arrived, I pretended to sleep. I then observed him exactly leaving home for any reason at exactly 14:31 as exactly in same images I ve seen. I did not want change anything, just lay in the bed, do nothing, wait and see. Because this was my first very precise precognitive dream. I had heard before that people were using such dreams to adopt to any situations, for example being prepared and avoid bad things or so. In my case I wanted test it and proof that it occours without intervention.

      Even though I was thinking to stop him and change the "future" - would that be possible? I doubt that. That is still a riddle for me, I had the choice. And today I am thinking what would be the best, stop and talk with my father to change the event or did I do right for a perfect proof?

      2. "Symbolic" (if I can call it like that) or another kind of precognitive dream:
      I was dreaming that I am in an elevator, but the building and the elevator are transparent, I can see the background outside. There is a woman in the elevator with me. The emphasize is that another woman talking to me, while I notice that we are on the 6th floor and I go out there. The other lady goes up...
      During that, my mobile was ringing in real and I heard it and came to myself, but with all the images I had just seen. I took my mobile in my hand and sum up all the things together, it had to be a relation to the phone which took me with my dream to the reality, and I then said loudly: a woman will speak in this call, it will something about a 6th floor, and the building should have more floors! That was costing me two ringings more but it was worth it!
      I picked up and the woman was speaking to me: Hi Mr..., I saw your application for a position in our company.. Would you have time for an interview on Wednesday?.. (Yes).. Please take the elevator to the 6th floor, I will be waiting there!

      On that time, I was looking for a job. I had sent about 100 applications within 3 months. After the call, I checked my applications and all my sources for especially this mentioned position and I found it: There was nowhere written anything about the 6th floor, only the address. I checked it in order to proof that I hadn't had this info previously.
      Then on Tuesday, I was there, and when I was going up in the elevator there was a woman though I cant remember her, but I could see that the building got 7 floors.

      --

      I am also trying a model for the mechanism for precognitive dreams. I first had made the same mistake what havago did here http://www.dreamviews.com/beyond-dre...ism-model.html with the brainwaves. Good to know that somebody else is working with this. Maybe my experience can help someone also.

      I found out that all my pr.dreams occour when I either sleep long, or on afternoon sleep, or when im oversleeping. They happens just before or like during waking up. I never got something from nightsleep, it could be that I see there also, but can't remember. In nightdreams I only remember normal dreams.

    2. Sept 2, 2013: Fragments, school/urban legends/weird home stuff

      by , 09-02-2013 at 03:36 PM
      Forgot to get some paper by my bed last night. So these fragments are just as detailed as I can recall from images and impressions :/

      1.
      I was in some school, looked kind of like my old high school but it wasn't. I had just showered in this enormous locker room area that for some reason flowed into the pool area like privacy wasn't an issue. Was looking around for a hair dryer and this nice DC who is apparently a student but looks older, like my age, comes over and helpfully points out this huge machine up high on the wall where you press a button for the kind of service you want. Of course, I felt silly for not realizing at first :P Then I notice you have to pay upwards of $5 for any service, but neither I nor the girl have any money. She tells me I could go to the east end of the school where the dryer might already be on?? because supposedly there's this fancy guy who leaves his electric car plugged in in the parking lot all the time and so the school draws a lot of power off of it. (dream logic is fascinating, isn't it?)

      So then the DC and I walk over to the pool to sit with our feet in and she starts telling me about the legend surrounding that fancy guy. (I can't remember specifics at all, but it's some kind of conspiracy that a few kooky people have dedicated themselves to researching--not scholars, just nerds. I've got this image of a small, woodcraft door, like for a large dollhouse, but with no handle.)

      2.
      (Here, I am in my home but it is most definitely not where I actually live.) The main room looks like a giant garage with a concrete floor, and there is lots of stuff littering the floor, like toys, garbage and other things. There are lots of children around, my relatives?? (I didn't know them at all.) My mom and Alberto were there, I think Jake and Saundra too. I was inviting Alice into my home, and we went to my bedroom, where Keitorin was sitting in a chair in the corner, reading. My bedroom wall had a ton of pictures and stuff on it, drawings and cut-outs. Alice said something? and I jokingly replied that she could have one of my 'sterile babies', of which there was a pile of outside my room. (They looked like medium-sized lobsters and I have no idea how they were supposed to be 'my sterile babies' or what that even means omg) Then my 'dad', a DC, comes by to chat. He....looks like a giant lobster :////

      And that's it! I don't even know what to say about those, wow.

    3. Broken Walmart

      by , 09-02-2013 at 02:47 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      For some reason, Walmart was ‘down’, no workers, end everyone was going around and grabbing stuff.

      Me and mom grabbed some cookies from the bakery (except it didn’t look like the bakery IWL), snack size bags, tampons, pads. I remember trying to tear a cereal ticket thing off of a sheet, but someone told me that you could just get the cereal down that isle (they point).

      As I was going around the store, I noticed a few times that a guy sitting down at a table and chair was staring. He had brown, wavy hair below his ears.

      Inspirations: Walmart, cookies and stealing were carried over from last dream.
    4. New stud earrings

      by , 09-02-2013 at 02:44 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      I’m in a store. I grab a couple pairs of shorts off a shelf. I ask someone where to put them, and a woman points. I see small, round yellow stickers that have ‘ww’ written on them. I think to myself ‘Weight Watchers?’.

      I’m wandering the store. In one section, there are batches of chocolate cookies (30 in each batch). There’s a stack of books, one with ‘The Rede’ in the title. I’m disappointed to see that they’re Christmas books. A woman walking be mentions that she likes my dad, because he ‘stays out of the way’.

      I’m in an isle away from others in the back, and am looking at stud earrings. I find some small ones, some with white crystals in them. There are only four, and I have eight holes, but I decided to take them. I sneak them in my pocket.

      -In Walmart, I see two girls in the middle of the store wearing pajamas with matching patterns on them.

      -Someone on a bus not liking my music and putting their’s on me. I think there were big bags, and a small woman?

      Possible inspirations: I’ve been wanting new stud earring to replace my hoops. Maybe the cookies come from the chocolate cookies I’d been making until recently. ‘The Rede’ comes from the song ‘The Rede (And It Harm None)’ by Gaia Consort, which I listened to recently. And you know, I think I remember seeing someone already eager for Christmas on GetGlue and it surprised me, so maybe it just stuck in my head.
    5. Not like this

      by , 09-02-2013 at 02:36 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      Mom tells me she is getting with Dan (my uncle IWL). She’s not leaving dad, they’re going to be in a polyamorous relationship. I am really, really upset and hide in my room. I call up my WL online friend Pillywiggin, except Harry, the father of an old WL schoolfriend, answers. He’s really polite, and when I ask for Pillywiggin, he says ‘thank you for calling’.

      I blubber for a while to Pillywiggin as she comforts me.

      -I remember the word polynormative, and something about grandma. Also, mom going to stay with Dan.

      Notes: It’s hard to type up a dream that bothers you. I wanted a poly dream but not like this. ;^;
    6. Where souls live

      by , 09-01-2013 at 06:20 PM
      Date: 31st Aug

      Pre bed: 200mg valerian, calcium&magnesium

      Total sleep time: 7 1/2 hrs

      Comments: The night started not so well, as our guest was leaving and traveling in the middle of the night. No, we are not vampires.

      Early mini-ld fragment (+2hrs): I am in our family friends' building, it is dark at night and I am running from the thought of something like an alien that can't be beaten up. As I go up the stairs, the last floor keeps on changing. I become lucid but still involved with the dream, I try to figure a way out of the situation. Our family friends (she and him) also appear up there and there are some thoughts of realization? about them and talking. She then says something rude to me that I wonder how to post on DV.

      I wake up, still holding the memory of the dream in my mind, at that time fully accessible, but I soon fall asleep. I am woken up by our guest's alarm and we all get up, I have a very hard time falling asleep later. I go into unmemorable sleep for hours.

      Fragment: I am angry and break a coffee cup

      Fragment: I think I was trying to hook to a dream since I recall doing some repetitive movements in the scene and then the dream fading and I briefly acknowledge this in bed.

      Pre ld fragment: I am about the witness a heartbreaking family reunion scene

      Pre ld dream: We are in the tram/bus and this woman gives us some brochures with specific info about a female criminal. Nobody knows what this is about just me and my friend. Later on, I am in our old place and want to discuss the stuff with possibly my mom. However, before I do that, a classmate of mine gets me alone in another room, insisting to know what's this all about. I tell him I have no idea and get out the room. I see that he has some spy sound amplifying equipment and I go to my room and look for a some paper to write to mom that he is listening to us. He is also lurking behind the door. I grab a notebook and try to hide it from him.

      LD: I am on the street in front of our old home and as I look around, realize this is a dream. I decide I would try to speed fly down the street. I take off and fly at high speed, but the street is not quite straight and I initially have difficulty taking a turn and get off track, then do a bit of maneuvering slightly similar to turning while swimming and am fast flying on the street again. It feels great but the only problem now is I move faster than my expectations so it's a bit uncertain what's in front of me. The street changes to facilitate that and now all I can see is trees on both sides moving closer together and I aim to fly straight in the center of all this.

      I slow down, pass through the trees and end up facing something like a lake in the middle of an unknown neighborhood. I briefly wonder whether this would count for summon for the competition. There are houses and buildings to the left. I fly over the lake, feeling as if I am running out of fuel and try to land near the houses/buildings. There is a tall wall that separates them from the lake and I am looking for the right spot. I barely make it to the top of the wall with flying near a house that I like. I take a moment to relax and think about my next steps. The place where I have landed is not part of the wall anymore, but is the top of some structure, as if I am sitting on a chimney. I also perceive this thought as the image of the shadow of me on top of this place, right in front of me. The idea that I get rid of my human shape and jump/float ahead comes to mind.

      Before I do anything, I take a look around and see that now am standing on an old bridge where there are the remains of large elephant statues in Indian style as part of the structure. They are extremely beautiful, decorations carved in the stone. I look at another one in front of me and see a date 1995, try to memorize it and as I stare at it the 5 changes into 7. I feel it's not a very good idea to keep staring like this as this may destabilize the dream. I remember CL's tech of boosting dream vividness and want to do that and enhance stability as well. I turn around and now there is a small elephant statue in front of me, so I run fingers on its surface and pat the stone a few times.

      Right behind the elephant statue is a street that leads to a small plaza with yet another magnificent statue that I am not sure of what but there is an element that looks like wings with bits of gold on the edges/wing waves. There are lots of kids on the street, I notice they are dark skinned, assume they are Indian. A little girl with short hair and present day clothes comes to me and I decide I will engage in a conversation with her and concentrate as much as possible on that and her features (as if rl). She looks at me smiling, one of the happiest DCs I have ever seen. There is something about that little girl which fills me with both joy and sadness and I ask her "Is this where souls live?", she says yes and goes on that I also live here with her and shows me a building (perhaps close to Italian city style) to my right. She says we live together on the first floor. I am not sure I like living on the first floor, but accept this at the moment as I am very curious to see where I live.


      The dream ends and I find myself in bed, contemplating whether to try a DEILD but my nose itches plus I am not very sure I want to mess up this memory. Time to wake up...

    7. Childhood Lucidity

      by , 09-01-2013 at 07:41 AM (Dream fragments and observations)
      When I was only a kid. Maybe seven or eight years old. I had a strange dream about leaving my grandmothers house in the middle of the night and walking into an alley way behind her home. There, beneath the street light was a man, waiting for me. I didn't know what think of him. He was wearing a black old fashioned suit and seemed kind of intimidating.

      When I walked up to him he made me an offer, I could be an ordinary little girl, or I could walk with him into the darkness and see things and do things no one else could. It was that exact moment I believe I became lucid. I was suddenly aware of my surroundings in a way I had never been before. Everything seemed so surreal and I knew that I was dreaming. But I had a very serious choice to make.

      The man held his hand out to me and I felt it was the wrong choice. I became afraid and ran away. As I looked back, I saw the man hang his head and walk away into the darkness.

      Suddenly I wasn't so sure it had been the right choice.
      To this day I regret that choice. I have been trying hard to get back to lucidity ever since. With very little luck. Nothing but a struggle. I'd like to apologize to him, in the future.

    8. Flying lost

      by , 09-01-2013 at 02:25 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      Going down a tube, and looong windy stairs.

      Entering a field where there are a bunch of people cosplaying The Hobbit. I don’t think they were actually wearing accurate costumes though.

      Eating food with Melly and her group. There was a $2 piece of some small food, I took a bite but didn’t like it (too bland). I ate a piece of Hershey’s chocolate with marshmallows (didn’t taste like anything). Something about a pearl. Melly was going to show me a way out but I knew one?

      One of the girls there looked like someone I knew in elementary school. “Becky, is that you?” But it couldn’t be her, she looked too young. There were a few other girls that looked like her too.

      I was trying to find my way home and was flying around the town.

      I’m inside a foreign school whose gate gets locked with me inside, but I think the gate opens and I get out. I remember carrying around a bottle of flat pop (it was unopened, I just felt that it was).

      I fought the same monster twice (as if the scene were replayed, except the second time there were others fighting it too), using quick slots like in Dragon Nest, if I were a swordsman maybe. I was worried someone would call me out, either because of my powers or for using a hack (hacking reality?).

      Notes: I used too many keywords instead of phrases this time and didn’t elaborate enough, so couldn’t recall everything properly later.

    9. Six fragments

      by , 09-01-2013 at 02:23 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      Fragment 1: Standing and listening to people talk/play soccer on a field to see who got the techniques a secret way.

      Fragment 2: Inazuma Eleven, playing soccer.

      -Competition, missing, game-like

      Possible inspiration: The last Inazuma Eleven episode I had watched was one before a competition between two teams to see who would go on to do Football Frontier International.

      Dream/fragments:

      - I was browsing a manga site on somewhere like Tumblr. There was a message warning about hacking on it. I didn’t recognize a lot of the manga but was going to bookmark it anyway. I felt better about it once I saw they had (Katekyo Hitman) Reborn.

      Inspiration: For the hacking thing, last night I was updating Pillywiggin on the hacking situation on MAL.

      - ‘We’ were standing outside somewhere. An animal had died and we were trying to find something to bury it in. We had a fancy tube, but it was to small, I wondered how it would fit.

      One of the characters felt deeply for the death of the animal and was petting it, only it was alive, he was saying ‘there, there’.

      Some creatures are after us. A raccoon shows up and leads a pack of them around a column and away from us. We run across some brown grassy plains. I look back and see a bunch of dogs chasing us now! Someone beside me says that they’re friendly. They’re just running after us for fun, and a couple lick at my hands.

      - A man is going through papers someone had done, he says it’s good work and goes to meet his ‘student’. He goes outside, and when he spots him the student says something meaningful. The setting is a really pretty garden area/backyard. All Irvin can see is Haruka’s head, and as Irvin gets closer, it’s to see that Haruka is standing in a very clear, small pond of lilypads and grass.

      Haruka’s face was really vivid, the style he was drawn in made him seem bigger than in the Free! anime, and the scene was drawn as if it was taken directly from a manga.

      - Something about taking on a debt.

      Possible inspiration: The column probably came from the dream yesterday. Irvin is from Shingeki no Kyojin, Haruka is from Free! Iwatobi Swim Club.
    10. Moving away from home

      by , 08-31-2013 at 01:59 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      1) I go in the bathroom to change (at grandma’s house?), but Rane is in there changing too. When I put on the clothes, something isn’t right. They’re choking me but I can’t get them off. Rane starts helping me but is taking too long and I’m starting to panic, I start getting lightheaded and reach back to pull some Velcro apart, and the clothes fall off.

      We get in a bit of a fight, something about not trusting. I say something sarcastically to her. ‘So I should just…and trust…”

      2) We’re preparing to move. There’s a truck outside. Dad is cooking something. I step down on a step where food is (spaghetti sauce?), but no one says anything about me getting the food dirty.

      I ask mom if I can get my jacket, but she says I won’t need it?, but I want it.

      Inside, the cats were put into rooms to keep them out of the way. Jazzy loves all over me when I go in. One cat gets out at one point and I put them back in a room. I feel sorry for them.

      I remember one door was open a crack, I figure two cats must be sharing a room then if no one is using one - hopefully it’s Smoke and Jazzy since they might get along better than Spice and Jazzy.

      I also remember trying to turn the lights on but they wouldn’t come on, the rooms were dark. I figured mom must have turned the breaker off. I wonder if the cats are scared of the darkness.

      3) We’re heading somewhere in a vehicle but I’m not happy and want to go back. I say something about how I will, and mom makes fun of me. ‘Oh, you will?’. There’s a white screen projecting in the back, and symbols pop up telling where we need to go. One is a Y symbol.

      4) Like 5 people getting into a pose for something.

      Possible inspiration: A lot of these dreams had shades of dissatisfaction in them! Maybe that’s why I was in such a bad mood today. :/ And they were connected. I wonder if I've been falling back asleep and waking back up with this gathering of fragments. 2#: Had spaghetti the other day. Think one of the piece of clothes in #1 was a skirt I was thinking about wearing yesterday.
    11. Snuck away home

      by , 08-31-2013 at 01:50 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      Rane was showing me how to change just the backgrounds of art from some manga. I found a pretty blue and white patterned background, but when she applied it to the picture it only filled it with white except for the chest down of one character and half the head down of another character beside them.

      At grandma’s house, mom wants me to stay but I don’t want to. And she wants me to play an MMORPG where the character options are all weird monsters - the one I choose is a floating eyeball with long eyelashes. You choose different worlds. Melly tells me what ones she was told to stick to. I find the game boring and want to go with mom.

      -Sneaking around our house because I’m not supposed to be there, I hurry and turn off the kitchen light when I hear dad coming and I go to my room (which is actually just the next room over in the dream). Maybe that’s when the computer part happens?

      Note: It should have been me showing Rane how to use that program, since I’m the tech savvy one!

      Lucid in this color.

      This is my first entry on the site. I hope this will help me succeed at least with dream recall.

    13. Lots of fragments

      by , 08-30-2013 at 02:50 AM (Keitorin's Dream Log)
      Fragment:

      -I zoom into a scene and see a flying character, and am able to make out that she’s carrying another female character. Apparently it’s a scene in ‘the new episode’. After watching it, I feel like I had already seen it before.

      -Someone asking me if I’ve ‘seen the new episode (yet)’
      - Someone calling the flying girls ‘old people’
      -Think I remember seeing Greek columns in the scenery.

      Possible inspiration: Me telling Pillywiggin that I need to watch the new episode of Free!.

      Fragments:

      -A community living off limited resources

      -Image in my head of three Inazuma Eleven characters standing next to each other, maybe performing a hissatsu technique together.
      - The phrase ‘Running away from the ball’.

      Fragments:

      1) Like three people transform into one thing into another and back? ‘I’ was talking on the phone to a man, but when I went to see him in person, it was a small black woman, and I called her out on it.

      2) Me, Rane and her ex chilling in a bed, it was kind of awkward.

      3) Looking at books in a library with a boy, there are some manga as well. I casually steal one so he can’t see, because I know he won’t like me doing it. In another section, I notice that someone didn’t sort a few manga right, one of them is a Bleach volume.


      Notes:

      I had four dreams yesterday but they were mostly fragments/confusing.

      Immorality is definitely going back on my list as a dream sign. n_n

      I think deja vu is making a comeback in my dreams again as well.

    14. Recall, Forgot and Remember

      by , 08-30-2013 at 02:06 AM
      Last night was weird. Went to bed early and stop using my lap two hours before. Had three dreams, all in different time sections. But it seems that all three were about traveling. After waking up I recall two of them, but then I forgot. I was completely blind, the more I try to recall them I couldn't. Then I put my mind on getting ready for work and just like that I remembered the two dreams.... plus another one I had but didn't remember when i recall the first time.
    15. It's been a rough week

      by , 08-28-2013 at 01:06 AM
      this last two days i haven't been able to remember my dreams. I haven't sleep well. I have to much things to do and i been using my computer too much. I just found that been in front of the computer before going to sleep weakens your ability to fall sleep fast and prevents your REM so you don't get to remember your dream. Today i will stop using my lap at least two hours before going to sleep.
