Side Notes
Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 over most of dream Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {telepathy in these brackets} I was having a long traveling dream of driving over different highways. Then it started to get dark and a girl in the car yelled "LOOK!" I did but saw nothing at first then I saw a tornado off in the distance. The guy driving started racing away to get away but when I looked again it was right near us! Then it tore open the car from the windshield and the girl screamed but suddenly I was not buying this dream any more. I said in a exasperated tone, "I got it" and put my hands up and held the twister and waited for it to dissipate, which it did very quickly. The skies brightened and everyone in the car made statements on how lucky and relieved they were but I was pouting. I was thinking "this stinks! Nothing in these dreams is real." When I was a kid everything seemed so real, now it's like watching a crappy black and white movie with predictable crappy plots and crappy predictable actors, blah. I awoke. "I should be focusing on the short haired girl [a reoccurring character former dreams]," I thought since it seems she really is me in some form. Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {telepathy in these brackets} This new dream was just as vivid and the like the other but this time it had a short haired girl in it. I saw her and interacted but there was nothing special about this girl. When I said telepathically {it's me} she just looked at me like I said it out loud and waited for me to follow up that statement. This girl is just another DC. Type: Regular Dream. Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {telepathy in these brackets} I had two more dreams something like this is but different environments and each time the girl in it was not the real deal. The last dream I had, had me trying to talk to the girl when some other girl nearby whipped out a knife, and with a huge smile, stabbed me in my left shoulder where the collar bone would be! This kind of pissed me off in a "these dreams are not helping" kind of way. I looked down and the gaping slashed hole and closed it with my thoughts and shook my head and thought "this is not working." Exasperated I woke up and felt a little defeated. Notes: I have never willed someone into my dreams before so by default I instead did what I have done plenty of times, created a DC. Tonight I will try a new tactic of replaying her "roles" in my former dreams to get her essence and then call out for that.
I am going to start recording all of my LUCID dreams in this Dream Journal. I have my own dream journal, but since I have less Lucid Dreams than regular dreams (for now... ), I will post LD's up in here.
Well, this is embarrassing. I can't remember a single thing from last night. Not one image. Nothing. That hasn't happened for a while. I remembered something when I first woke up, but the memory was hard to focus on. Now it seems to be gone. Maybe I was too tired last night. I was out late. Oh well... maybe tonight
Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** **************** First dream: I'm at work and they're passing my job on to my coworker. I can see his desk with my stuff on it, including my clothes XD Second dream: 2 Robots are interrogating a third robot, at my aunt and uncle's place (we talked about them at dinner IRL), taking the poor thing apart and reassembling just for torture purposes. I'm just watching this dream. The robot being tortured has red, muscle-like looking parts and limbs, connected by wires representing veins, i guess? I told someone on dreamviews.com yesterday, that robots are nightmare creatures for me. ..apparently not. And i *know* i had a third dream between these two but i can't remember it. Serves me right for being too lazy to blog it immediately >_<
Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** **************** 1st dream, 03.49 am. I was dreaming so i figured i'd just see where the dream would take me. It took me into the 1986 my little pony film!! I watched as mama licketisplit saved baby sweetie belle from the smooze. And i figured this had to be a cut scene as i didn't remember ever seeing it. Lost lucidity at this point and mama licketisplit was a unicorn and saved baby sweetize belle from falling over the smooze waterfall. 2nd dream and 3rd dream, 06.13 am. I'm not 100% sure i had 2 seperate dreams, or if i sreamed about a WILD or if I had a real One. Point is, i went lucid. I'm in a computer room with Agnes and her (ex IRL) boyfriend. He's gaming, playing zelda on pc. Something about the creatures being real. I'm in my bed again, i can see the color swirls that usually precede hypnogogic hallucinations and unlike usually, i'm apparently far gone already, as i can feel my body being paralized. I panic, try to call for help but nothing happens. I calm down. Apparently there's nothing i can do, so I just brace myself for the ride. Apparently I'm having a WILD. Let the hallucinations come over me, now recognising them for what they are and knowing what they lead to, check my hand when i woke up and my right hand has toes for fingers. 6 of them XD so i clap to myself a few times to channel the initial excitement. I walk out my bedroom door where my friend Nicole is, and apparently we have a dog too. And we're on ground level rather than first, where my appartment is IRL. ..i was actually wishing for someone else but he, again, did not appear. I tell them i'm dreaming, but they just ignore me. I touch the window and it just gives way, as if it was ice rather than glass. I call for their attention and push my whole finger through. They're still ignoring it, so I pull a trail down with my finger through the glass. We go outside outside with another friend (pedro) and Pablo, bartender at my favourite pub and apparently Nicole's boyfriend. As we're walking, i tell Pablo to remind me that I'm actually dreaming so I don't lose my lucidity. We walk past a dog that's barking violently, i tell myself that this is a dream and i can do anything. So I look intensely at the dog and say "sit" calmly but firmly. It sits down, looking up at me in confusion. Now, things from the previous dream seep in and Nicole turns out to be an animal morph, needing to be rescued from one of the Zelda creatures and there's a lamb and the whole dream gets unstable and i try to teleport Nicole out of there to save her, but I wake up. Finally I did a WILD, although not intentionally. I enter the hallucinations phase fairly often, but as they're so terrifying I usually do everything I can to wake up from them. Of course, that was before I learned they're the road to a lucid dream! So now, I don't TRY to do a WILD but when it just sort of happens, I'll just let it happen, it wasn't so bad this time.

I'm not sure whether this thing that happens to me is a gift, or just my imagination, but either way I need to see if it sounds believable or not. I sometimes have these dreams-no- visions, that some times depict future memories. If you read my last post you'll understand what I might be rambling on about. I never see anything major, just like a replay of something that happened to me only in the future. It's never very distant, only a week to a week and a half, but never the less, accurate to everything in the dream. At first I though I was going insane, but then a few months ago something else began to happen. I would get these sudden migraines in small areas of my head. At first, I thought it was for no reason or a side effect of listening to my headphones loudly, but then I began to notice something. I noticed that when I got a migraine I would start seeing everything from the dream, except it was happening in real life! I don't really see this as being deemed "Psychic" but it's does seem abnormal. In any event, I will try to look into this more and see what an official title would be for this "ability." Until then I'll keep posting my dreams!
I probably could remember my whole dream, but I'm too tired to try. On the other hand, it was really fucked up and I woke up gasping (you could say..) I was being chased by a creature that looked very much like "Bigfoot". We were in a jungle, and I knew there were other bigfoots around too. As I was running, I noticed that I could push the trees down as I ran. This helped me get where(ever) I was going to a lot faster. I had just lost one bigfoot and then one appeared not far in front of me. I tried to hide but he saw me and started running at me. Instantly, I was fed up and out of options. I knew I was dreaming at this point and I didn't think about what I should do. Instead, my fear and anger took over and started growling. I raised my arms above my head and I grew about triple the size of the beastly foot man. Suddenly I was on top of him, choking him, hold him down. The next part is disturbing, so I'm going to stop there. Really don't want to think about it anymore. Side notes: I think I've been more aware throughout my day. I really feel a change in the energy of my dreams. I just feel like I'm becoming more in tune to my dreams, because sometimes (most recently) I feel like I'm playing a role. It's kind of like I know that I'm dreaming, but I'm playing along with the script. I can't say that I've been "lucid" though. I was lucid in the last dream for a moment to know that I could control it, but then I began playing along again. The things I've been doing differently are listening to binaural beats (gamma and beta) for a while during the day, and my choline intake has increased. So, I'm very excited for a break from school and looking forward to my dreams over the next month.
Dream 1 My friend K and her boyfriend had recorded voice acting for an animated film and i was at the première with them. There were comics about the animation as well (i think. They might have been about something totally different.) ..It was recorded in a trailer, and that's also where the reception was. Dream 2 I wanted to go swimming at the pool in my old uni city, but a group had booked it. I was suddenly surrounded by the (naked!) group and realised i wasn't gonna get in, not having booked. I was stupid enough to ask the manager if i could join the group but she apologised and said no. So i jumped the story down to the dressing room (which was like a big marble empty oval roomm about 2 storeys high) and made my way back up to the exit.. ..which was a single-person shower. I started walking all the way back to the train station, but ran into a market with an animal stall which sold rabbits. They did not look happy. Dream 3 I'm eating out with my parents, but the place is also a hotel and has a tiny gym. So i go to that gym and lie down to do some sit-ups. Turns out there's sheets and blankets and stuff i have to get rid of so i do but i get bored and just walk out again. I call my friend J, who has recently rzturned from Greece after his gf broke up with him (this is IRL memory), to make sure he's ok. He gets all emotional and touched by my call, and we hang up again. I take a bus/taxi and thzre's this kid, trying to get rid of his ex. When getting off the bus, i almost forget my spare shoes. The kid tells his ex they'll be fine in time and she runs off with the biggest smile on her face. He walks with me and starts reciting this reeeaally corny poem and even verbally confirms this to me and giggles. It's at this point that i realise he's actually rather cute, for a 15-year-old. I kinda think this kid represented Dominiq, a sort of recurring character in my dreams over the years. He always has a different exterior but I usually know it's him, either in the dream or after waking up. I love Dominiq.
I had several dreams last night. A ton. Like, it feels like I was dreaming all night. But I couldn't remember almost anything once I got up and started moving. As usual. T.T I know my problem. I just get up too late. But I can't exactly change it. I barely get any sleep as it is. Soooo... Bummer. D: I guess this'll be a weekend thing. :p I've got my dream journal on my bedside table right now with a pen right off to the side. I'm so ready.
I had no access to the internet for about three weeks, but I did record quite a few dreams. However, my handwriting isn't exactly what you'd call 'legible' when I write as soon as I wake up, and some things I wrote are just notes that make no sense to me now. So, here it is, word for word from what I have written down, and I'll add anything else I remember in parenthases. ~Voldmort says, "Don't fall asleep or I kill Ginny." ~I show someone my (drum? trom...bone? I can't read it) because I can't for the life of me remember who Bob Marley is. ~The Confederates come back and want to use our house to rest. (I remember being disappointed that Jasper Hale wasn't there, and briefly thinking that there was an amendment that said soilders couldn't stay in our house.) ~I get a pug, and have a German Shepard. ~In church, we get an assignment to be a computer. I work with J.R. ~Supposed to be getting married... can't do it. ~In the trashy back-alley part of a city I find my Chinese friend yay. ~What a dashing young lad: Mama's friend in a hooded cloak. ~Teacher says something about taking Jasper and Emmett home. We have to butter a biscuit to leave; even though mine isn't in complete sentences I can go. ~Someone does ballet in the middle of the road. ~The bus driver says it sounds like a ninja food fight. (???) And then two dreams that I wrote in more detail: ~Playing a Tarzan game. Aliens come into it eventually, and that morphs it into a whole new game. When I stop playing, I'm in an unfamiliar house. Out one door, there are a bunch of dogs, so I go out to pet them. They start trying to come into the house. I shut the door and see that a waddly little bulldog got in, so I decide to take him to the pet store. Don't remember how I got there, but somewhere along the line I became lucid. The dog wanted to eat a candle so I started picking ones off a shelf and seeing if he liked them. As I held out a brown one swirled with red and green (cinnamon candy, I think it was called), my mom walked up and asked what I was doing. (just realized I changed tenses there... oh well.) "It's a dream, so he's eating candles," I told her. "What?" "This is a dream." She starts freaking out. "Wha... Thi... Are you serious!?" "Yeah. Calm down. Control your breathing and touch the stuff on the shelves." She makes an effort to stop hyperventilating and runs her hand across a shelf filled with bottles of shampoo. "It feels so real," she says in amazement, taking one bottle and holding to her ear like a phone. A loud voice starts coming from it. I smile. Suddenly a bell rings at the counter so I go up to see what the person wants. He's a vampire. I can't remember what he asked for, but regardless, he just yanked me over the counter and bit my neck. I only felt little pinpricks of pain, and when he let me go I just lost lucidity and followed him out of the store. () I ended up walking down and road and seeing kids play under a little bridge. ~In school, a zombie apocalypse is in progress. I'm roaming around with a group of random people. The hallways are spattered with blood, and every so often a few zombies will come around a corner. The people I'm with bash them with blunt objects. As we pass the doors leading to the second floor, a white and tan Siberian Husky rockets past us and skids to a stop in front of the stairs, sniffs the air, and barks loudly. A man in a trenchcoat and fedora walks up and pats the dog on the head. "Dog knows where it's safe," he says to us, already heading up the stairs. We follow them to a small, dark, round room that's empty apart from a few music stands and an armchair. Several minutes pass peacefully, then I realize that no zombie situation can ever be peaceful for long. Just as I'm about to suggest moving to a different area, the husky starts barking. Everyone in the room rushes to look down the stairs, where a large group of zombies is slowly making its way up to us. We all grab music stands and prepare to fight. I wake up, a little relieved to not have to see how that ends.

I'm going to sleep with music on all night (classical channel), to see if it will wake me up whenever I happen to complete a REM cycle. ..thus, helping me remember my dream(s), and possibly allow me to WBTB..
..I haven't been registered for 7 days yet (only 6, boo) so I can't actually have a siggie, apparently. Fair enough, I'll just put it here so I can copy/paste it later Goals: Fly [] - See Soulmate [] - Talk to DC [] - Find Library of All Knowledge [] - Do a Healing through LD [] LD Count: 0 since joining "No walls, embrace a world as one, where music will guide us, guitars instead of guns" -HYDE
Colour Code: What? When? How? 1) Breathe through pinched nose. Every time I open my eyes after even dozing off for juuuust a moment. 2) My 4-sided die. At Random moments throughout the day. I'll study it, look at it, feel it, test it by dropping it from one hand to the other. If it's logical and it does not float up or fall through my hand, I know I'm not dreaming. 3) Clock. Whenever I happen to be checking the time, I'll question its reality, look away and check it again to see if it's changed or become illogical.
Ok.. so I'm going to try this "All Day Awareness" technique, as described [here]. ..on second thought.. ..SAT (Sporadic Awareness Technique, as described [here]) is probably better, since I work in an office and have to concentrate on my job, rather than wondering whether or not I'm dreaming. It's kinda hard to explain my looking around while gazy-eyed, while I should be working on invoices etc.. I'll just randomly start paying attention to my surroundings, and specifically whether or not there is something unusual about them. I'm scared of WILDing, so this seems perfect for me ^^ I'm going to try it, starting NOW. I have this 4-sided die (it looks like a pyramid) that I always carry with me. Dunno why, I just do. So now I'll take it out randomly during the day and really study it, feeling its edges, feeling its pointy ends, appreciating its colour.. It also serves as a reality check. I simply wonder "hey I wonder if I'm dreaming!?" and then drop the die from my one hand into my other. If it does not float up or fall through, I'm not dreaming. Also, it has numbers written on it, rather than dots to count, so if the numbers don't make sense, I'll know I'm dreaming, too. Soooo I do awareness exercises and reality checks randomly throughout the day ^^ Let's see how that works ^^

Ok so my goals for my next LD (hopefully tonight, using the Finger Induced LD technique) 1) Find my soulmate and tell them I love them and generally have a lovely time together in the dream. 2) Find my Dream Guide. I know, I know, 1) seems cheesy, silly and downright impossible, right? Wrong. "Impossible" is not a word, it's a challenge. And I leave no challenge unaxepted. Besides, I already know who it is (or rather, who I'd LIKE it to be. ..hehehe. Ahem.) so all I have to do is summon them and tell them More on this tomorrow morning or right after the dream, wichever comes first
