side notes

So first I will start off with general notes and then I'll get into the details of Dream No. 111.

So, you got the appearance of my dreamy guardian but most importantly out of all things dream-like, I forgot to give you the appearance of... ME! I drew a picture to show you. Since I have trouble uploading photos and other files onto DreamViews, any pics I want to show you, I'll give a link to my DeviantArt account (KarlaB14) and post them on there. Everything related will be in the "Karla's Dreams - Concept Art" folder.

Dream No. 111

From now on, I think I might also suggest why I gave the dream it's respective title. Since these "Behind The Scenes" entries are fairly new, I'm always trying to find ways to improve them and make them exciting to read rather than just recounting the dream all over again.

So I called it "Conscious Confusion" because of 2 aspects in the dream.

1. The maths book was a different layout and here's me thinking, "Where did those coloured strips come from?"
2. I wasn't shaking when I was close to the lift, I was thinking I should have been terrified (because of my phobia in real life).

The Maths Book Scene
Last year, for high school, I made a bound reference of approx. 130 pages, I think it's 132 to be exact. I had the copy for myself to use in my exams and then I also gave a copy to a friend to use in her class (and maybe exams) this year. The colours I chose for my book design were yellow, green, red and blue. The colours I put on my friend's book were salmon, rose, teal and lime. My friend's colour palette was the one that appeared in the dream. The only thing that were different about our books was the colour palette... The rest was the same, such as the front cover, the module dividers and the page numbers.

Now in the dream, it changed the design features of the book... The dream showed that the page layout was altered. As it is kind of difficult to explain, I did do a sketch for this dream aspect as well (click on the link below)... I even kindly put some glitter glue on there where it was in the dream! Just for kicks really.

The Lift Scene
The door was completely open and so there was no sign of it. I was only looking into this large box-like room that as I said, looked like inside some house. As I'm getting closet to the lift, here's me thinking I should be shaking like anything, my heart rate should be going up, my palms should be sweating.... But that wasn't happening. Maybe I was more focusing on what was in there rather than the lift itself. It's interesting because I do have a lucid dreaming bucket-list of things to do with my dreamy guardian and one of the things I put on there was for her to help me with my fear, if there is any sort of therapy she could provide.



So that's it for this "Behind The Scenes" entry, catch you at the next dream. I have to work my butt off to get to that tournament, I registered but I haven't faced anyone yet! Come-on subconscious, get me lucid! I'm waiting for the day (night) where Dreamy WB pulls up in the driveway and tells me we're going to the arena.

Dream No. 110

The Forum SurfIt was interesting how last night, I registered for this lucid tournament thing... It's like my REM brain has already registered it. I dreamt that I was looking at the exact same page, but instead of it being posted by ExothermReaction, it was posted by someone with a username of franj251 who is someone I actually know in real life and she does have social accounts but does not have a DreamViews account, so that was interesting.

The Wand Thief
The blonde haired guy claimed to be a member of this forum! So who are the blonde guys on here? Which one of you made my little cousin cry in exchange for your wings?

Summary Note
Both of the scenes recorded in this dream have some association to DreamViews, this means I'm making good progress, doesn't it? My subconscious mind is aware I am looking for this tournament. I now just have to become lucid, knock on Dreamy WB's door and both make a sprint for the arena.



Note 1

I was just thinking about how I let co-fighters get the assistance of my dreamy guardian as well as myself, so you get the full package. It'd be unfair to not give you at least her appearance or you might have an imposter in the arena who is only claiming to be Dreamy WB. So, she's only slightly shorter than me. Brown skin. Black hair in style of boofy afro OR frizzy and tied back with a messy short pig tail OR frizzy with two braids. She wears typically casual clothing but you can dress her up in anything you like. If you do ever get her, I'd love to hear what your spitting image of her was like.

It's sad I was only able to remember that small dream fragment as I do remember having heaps of dreams overnight, just not what they were about... So I could have potentially gone up to something like 108 E! I don't know, maybe my cold actually helped by waking me up numerous times through the night... A forced WBTB? But struggling memory due to my stuffy head?



Dream No. 108

The Reality Check
So I looked down and noticed 5 fingers on each hand, isn't that the normal amount of fingers on each hand? I wonder why the dream didn't do something extremely bizarre this time. If my fingers weren't constantly "floating" around like the tentacles of a jellyfish, I probably would have been tricked into thinking it was real life and maybe would not have been able to progress in the dream. I did stop myself, basically saying I could only progress to call out for WB if the reality check proved to be a dream. So yeah, what would have happened?

I'm also surprised that the reality check didn't bring about any signs of extreme lucidity like in Lucid Dreams 3 (93) and 4 (104). Would the fact that I gave myself permission to continue the dream be a sign of lucidity that I am not considering? Maybe the degree of lucidity was only like a grain of salt, so tiny.

So yeah, my fingers (or whole hand) always appear to be somewhat spongy in dreams but this time, my hands also had a very slight glow to them. My fingers were lengthening and shortening, going in and out, as well as side to side, hence I described it was like a warping effect in dream. I also remember that the thumb was extremely stubby and was sticking outwards to the side rather than going upwards with the rest of the fingers. So although the reality check was so subtle, the features above would have contributed to me seeing that it was a dream.

Well, that's all the insight about that reality check. It's interesting how usually they're used for "I want to make sure I'm in a dream" but this time it was switched to "I want to make sure I'm not in waking life". It's the same concept but just from a different point of view. Maybe just as well I was able to remember this particular dream fragment to serve for an interesting, almost lucid experience... Like I said, I don't know if giving myself permission to continue was a sign of lucidity or not, because it wasn't a conscious action... So if anyone has any input or insight, feel free to comment below.

Shortly before I woke up, I saw a number. 12:14. My vision was black (dreams had ended, I was in the process of waking up), and this was the last image I saw before I opened my eyes.

I looked sideways at the clock, and it was 12:14.

I still don't know if:

1) I imagined it, 'fake memories'?
2) A complete coincidence happened.
3) I've seen traces of a poorly understood mechanism in the human psyche, perhaps this 'human clock' thing that allows people to wake up a minute before their alarm clock goes off?

Edit, July 2018. I had another one. Shortly before waking, I saw a wristwatch showing the time. When I opened my eyes, the time on my laptop matched the time on the dream watch perfectly.

This is my first "Behind The Scenes" entry and what these are, are to talk about some aspects of my dreams in detail without cluttering the actual dream section. Here I have certain scenes I'd like to explore in depth or explain a concept. In "Dream" entries, side notes were marked a different colour but in "Behind The Scenes" entries, dream events are marked in a different colour:



Dream No. 106

The Sleep Scene
So here is where I said to my parents "I'm going to sleep for a few minutes" but really, I wanted to see if Dreamy WB could help me get up that cliff. When sleeping, I didn't enter "the void". As I wasn't lucid, I didn't process that thought in the dream but when I woke up, I thought to myself, "why didn't I enter the void?" and then I thought I would only enter the void if I was in a lucid state. It was strange how I was in that light sleep and then when I opened my eyes again, I was in the same dream, continuing on from where I left off. I also thought that I would have woken up after opening my dream eyes. I find it quite strange (but good) that the dream just continued on instead of waking me up. Because the concept I heard was that if you close your eyes, you'd find yourself in "the void" and then during that time, if you open them, you'd wake up... So that was interesting.

With that perception of being on an open beach and waves washing over me, I believe that's the time when Dreamy WB was somehow shifting the environment... But of course I don't know how she really did it. Or maybe those waves meant she (my subconscious) was sending a certain message that I could "fly" and that I had the potential, so maybe it was me that shifted the environment. When I woke up, the cliff appeared to be lower and more reachable and so I tried getting to it again. I think the reason I wanted to fly higher though is because I was trying to improve my skills, in dream I was literally having the thought that I wasn't expecting the cliff to go down, I was expecting me to go up. So the fact that I thought I could be "cheating" may mean that Dreamy WB did more than what I thought she would do. Basically, I wanted to enjoy the experience of being able to fly high and achieve something.

Day 1: wbtb 4:30 am

Game (Full nld)

Just me playing a game. Started I was watching TV of it and then I was inside. I was far in the game going through a big abandoned building killing zombies. I tried to escape through a route on a large beam but ended up dying.

I went through the memory card on my console and knew I had a saved game from beyond what I was just playing. For a while i couldn't find it. But i did and remarked to Asuka that I finally found it. I loaded the game, and now I was in a large field. My avatar had a yellow hat that didn't fit with the rest of the outfit so I went to find a brown hat in the menu. No brown hat so I setled on a black one. Went on flaying in a field but then came to a house fighting Zombies.

Day 2: wbtb 2:30 AM

Bjork's Inner World.

I remember being in a garage with Data and Asuka. Data was messing around with a weird mechanical box. He was explaining that dreams of famous people are protected by high security dream algorithms making it hard for any dreamer to just stumble into a Celeb's dreams. He said this would just be a test and we weren't going to go to my desired target's dreamscape but someone else's. I wasn't sure what he was talking about and I asked who. He said that it was a surprise and that Asuka had come up with the idea of whom. He turned a dial and...

I was suddenly alone on a cold beach with no sand but small pebble rocks. I may have heard singing in the distance but wasn't sure exactly where it was coming from. A small piece of paper blew against me and I picked it up and unraveled it. I read some words that didn't make sense. The writing was grey and hard to read. Then a single word showed up in blue ink: Bjork.

Suddenly I found myself in a nice house. Bjork was there and she was shivering. I talked with her a bit but can't recall what was said. She would go to a window and close it. And a few seconds later it or another window was open again. There was some guy running around opening the windows. Everytime he did that another more colorful version of Bjork would emerge from her body and yell at the man in a language I couldn't understand and then disappear back into her body.

The conversation was warm and kind. We kept walking and eventually I went after the man opening the windows and told him to stop it because It was clearly making Bjork cold. He said he was trying to help her. I argued that it wasn't helping her and just pissing her off. The other version of Bjork ran out of her and chased the man away and she was screaming. Bjork just smiled at that and we kept walking towards a living room. I was staring at her because sometimes she seemed so young and other times looked a lot older. She was wrapped in a white shawl and i said, "Bjork, Bjork... " and she turned to me. "She's so loud," i said. Alluding the Bjork that had run out of her, "But YOU, You're so quiet." The last part I was whispering. I was referencing one of her songs of course. She smiled in a, "that was cheesy but I'm going to let him get away with it." manner.

"I know," she said and smiled devilishly. I wondered if this was really her. Every second that ticked made the dream so much more vivid. We leaned against one another and found a couch. We embraced there and started kissing. It felt so real. I was too excited and woke up.

Bjork again (Frag)

Asuka was leading me down a hallway and saying that Bjork was in my inner world and waiting for me. I was groggy and confused. I saw Bjork sitting on a couch and she reached out to me but I woke again.

Basement fight (full nld)

I just remember I was in some sort of house with some bad people inside. I wandered into a basement and the bad people were on the steps. I Started punching one guy with glasses, but that didn't work. I had something like a flame thrower that wasn't lit. and I started spraying everybody with gas right in the face. The guys backed down the steps a bit in pain. I didn't know how to light the flame thrower. The guy with glasses pulled out a match and handed it to me. Um okay so he was okay with me lighting him and everyone else on fire? That didn't make sense, was he trying to light me on fire as well? I didn't trust it. I threw down the match book and ran back upstairs.
Some other stuff happened but forget it now.

Third night: wbtb 5:30 am

Trump (frag)

Just an image of Trump pushing a wheelbarrow uphill filled with large lime stone rocks. He got tired so he began trying to eat one of the large rocks...

Motel (full nld)

I was in a weird small town out in the countryside. I went into a motel office and paid for a cheap room. The place was three floors and all the doors were from an inside hallway. I went and looked into each and every single room and found that they ALL were empty. Every room was the same. I did this for half an hour. then I left and started walking in a green field.

Fight (Full nld)

I was back at that town with my brother? and some other people. Some weird mech guy attacked me and I had two swords. I was using them for shields to bloc his attacks.

Much of the fight was sped up until a part where I landed on my back. The had three arms with whirring blades at the ends of his hands or where his hands should be. I stabbed through the center of what looked like steel blades. Nothing happened at first but I penetrated the first blade then second and third. Each time blood would spatter from where I stabbed him. He eventually got impaled all the way through my swords. I remember thinking it was strange how metal could bleed... I got up and threw the swords aside and when I looked at them they were chinese double broad swords. I thought it should have been impossible to kill the guy with these swords...

I got back to the group and we walked away talking about the fight.

Well the first thing i remember is that i was laying down on my bed on my left side facing away from the wall looking towards my window. I didn't know it was a dream at first, until i faced the other way. As i faced the other way i came in contact with another body, My hand was resting on a torso and a armed draped over my shoulders, i stiffened, scared to even look at who i was touching, and thinking why the hell are they on my bed? I looked up and saw my ex boyfriend's face, he was smiling down at me and said something around the lines of, "Hey, did you want to finish watching this show?" I pushed off of him and sat up, "What the hell?! What are you doing here in my bed? How- When- Oh my gosh!" i yelled quickly. He shrugged and leaned in closer to my face, "You were the one thinking of me." He said with a smirk. I pushed his face away but when i did that i made my self fall off the bed. I squeezed my eyes shut instinctively as i fell backwards.

I felt my self falling but never felt any impact, even if a dream i still feel a numb thud when i fall down but this time i didn't, i just kept falling. I opened my eyes and i wasn't in my bedroom anymore, i was outside full of people, tents, animals and clowns. I looked down at my clothes hoping i had any, and i was wearing some sort of costume colored with bright pinks and blues. I got up quickly and looked around for something to give me clues. A guy noticed me and waved me to come over to him so i did. When i walked up to his table area he started to shove random items in my arms, "You're late, hurry up and get to your booth, the show must go on!!!" He yelled. I stared at him, i didnt know what i was suppose to do, i was lost, and afraid to do anything wrong.

He must've notice how dumbfounded i looked cause he just did this dramatic sigh and shoved me to a booth, i stumbled but made it to the booth and the guy had left by the time i turned around to ask him what i should be doing. I sighed dramatically. I looked at the front of the booth to see a sigh to show me what i should be doing. all i could read was, "Lucid Magic." and thought, 'I really don't want to be here.' i tried to walk away but i took one step and my whole body shifted to another area.

I was now standing in front of a glass room with a red button in the middle of the room and a large sign above that read, "Roast Yourself." and i laughed because i was thinking of random roasting sayings, my attention was brought back to the glass room when i saw a guy enter and he was smiling big. i went up to another guy who was the room keeper or something and curiously asked him, "Sir what is this booth suppose to be?" He smiled and said in a weird accent, "Well little lady this is the roast yourself room, when life isnt for you anymore, you come here." i was still confused. "Now see this young lad, his wife died in an accident and he wants to go with her." he finished. "Wait what do you mean??" i asked worried.

The guy in the room spoke up, "Im coming Ellen!!!" He yelled as he pressed the button, then from all directions of the glass room, blasts of fire sprung up and he started to burn. I panicked, "Hey! wait no! Hes Burning!!!" i yelled as i started to run to the guy but he raised his hands and i stopped, he didnt say no words but he was just smiling at me creepily as his face started to burn into a black char, then he was gone, fire stopped and everything was normal, i kept staring at the glass room and the room keeper stepped in front of me, "Would you like to give up?" He asked in a scary deep voice. I just started to run the other direction and just kept running, i was afraid the room keeper would come after me but when i turned back he was just there waving at me then turned to other people to continue to do his booth's job.

I grabbed my head and shut my eyes, i kept telling my self to wake up overs and overs but i couldnt wake up, i opened my eyes and the room keepers face was smiling at me ugly right in front of mine, i screamed loud and the dream ended.

(it was 7:04am when i woke up from the dream, i didnt really jump up or scream in real life like you see in movies but i just opened my eyes to my normal room.)

Well this was one of my crazy dreams when its hard to control because you barley feel like its a dream, so youre force to follow the plot no matter how scary. If you have any question or comments, you are able to leave them below.

Until Next Dream~

I have succeeded at getting a consistent sleep schedule but my recall has gotten horrible. :/ I have had a lot of fragments though which is good but nothing to write home about. I did only one proper WBTB in the past week but I should be able to get more in before the competition is over.

I am playing a cool isometric video game. It is like an RPG but you can't leave this really big dungeon but there is lots of treasure to find there.

All this and not one lucid! WBTB 4:30 AM

Guide (Frag)

I just Remember my Guide Victor in a black space talking about recall. But he was saying things in such an abstract way I couldn't understand.

River (Full nld)

I was with a group of people somewhere. forget what we were doing.

FA, Really vivid and I'm on some slope near a river with lots of trees. Some blond girl is nearby and I think she was with the previous group. I wander to the stream There's some dock with some stuff on it but don't remember what.

I go back up the slope where the girl is by a tree we talk again. then I go to the stream again. The dock is now a few boards floating away in the stream. It floats away and then circles some shrubs sticking out of the water. then it comes near me and I grab the big board from the water. I should have been wet here but wasn't. But whatever I brought it by the tree with the girl and she made a comment about it. I laid it down by the tree and fell asleep on it.

Confusion (full nld)

Was back at the place with all the people. But they were all asleep. I heard Chuck Missler talking in the dream and I was staring at a box. My vision zoomed into the box and I was in some biblical setting. People were smashing pots or something to make music. It was pretty modern sounding and I wondered how that could be.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I was in the room again. one of the people woke up and told me to shut the music off. I was confused.

River again(Frag)

FA, on the board by the river. I got up and the girl was gone... forget what happened after.

Bathroom (frag)

I was with Asuka in our bathroom. She was over the toilet or something. I forget what we were talking about.

Working. (full nld)

I was at Mcdonald's working at a different store where I didn't know anybody. The dream was long and boring. The most emotive part was when I was on break. I was waiting in line by a kiosk to order food. Some guy behind me was called to take his order. I got mad because I was in line and didn't see the till person call him. Turned out the till person couldn't see me because he was so short. then he took my order.

Hard Boss (Full NLD)

I was floating or flying in something like a video game setting. There ws a path made of colorful swirly things. I had to eat magic carpets made of... Caramel popcorm in order to charge plasma balls which I shot from my mouth. Took me a looong time to eat one carpet, while avoiding a large Krusty The Klown head trying to eat me.. I finally ate enough to shoot some fireballs at him which hit him. The energy bar just barely went down.

flew to the next carpet and noticed it had a tag on it. It read: estimated difficulty 9/10. and the fine print read: This boss may be more difficult than given rating. I went to eat more but it was too hard. I tried shooting some more balls but didn't have enough energy. Guess i had to eat a whole caramel carpet again...

So yes, I only joined DreamViews a couple of days ago but I haven't had many dreams in that space of time. However, I have had heaps of dreams before that and so that's what I'll be updating my dream journal with. I've been recording all these dreams and have been putting them on my own "Microsoft Word DataBase" since 2013... So dreams may be in between 2013 and today's date in 2017. It's good because I already have those dreams typed up, I just have to copy them over here, only making a few small edits. Characters without names will keep their normal descriptions; characters with names will be edited so that only their initals show just as a private point of view.

This is only a maybe, I may create a journal with all the dream characters so you can see their supposed interests and other small facts... Because in my dreams, these characters do have such a vivid personality and they seem to maintain it across other dreams too.

As you can probably see already, I'm so passionate about dreaming and with some of my unique personality quirks, I have been able to summon powerful things sometimes (mostly in non-lucid dreams) just by having all these thoughts during the day. For instance, I have a dream guide (I actually title them as "dreamy guardian", so you will be seeing that from now on) with me in waking life and dream life... I only visualise that she's invisible during the day and active in my dreams.

Well, I'll tell you how I'm going to lay out my main dream journals... Always come back to this "welcome" journal if you need a recap on the way my entries work, I think I've explained most of the foundations here. So as the journals may say the current date and not the date of the dream; I will always put the date at the dream at the top of the entry. Well, that's all for now. Happy reading I now have to go and introduce my new face to all the DreamViews users out there.



-- Update -- (25/4/17 - 2:31 PM)

Instead of spamming the journal area. I thought I'd do dream character descriptions below. So... let's go!

Name: KB or Karla (ME)
Age as of 2018: 19
Role: Me
Interests In Dream: Exploring, Discovering "powers" such as elements and physical abilities
Main Activity/ies: Seeking answers, summoning my dream guide, using any powers I may have, teaching others how to do things

In a lot of dreams, I feel really insightful and powerful.

Name: Mum
Age as of 2018: 51
Role in dream: Aggressive Female Parent, in life she's not bad.
Interests In Dream: Supporting hubby, making my life a misery
Main Activity/ies: Accusing me of crazy things, taking me out places (good dreams)

Name: Dad
Age as of 2018: 51
Role in Dream: Aggressive Male Parent, he's not bad in real life, only gives me exaggerated lectures which is why I think the dream tends to make him so destructive.
Interests In Dream: Making my life a misery, music making with me (good dreams)
Main Activity/ies: Trying to beat me up really hard like some wrestling champion.

In real life, my parents are almost like "helicopter parents", you know, over-controlling? I've never done anything bad in my life but they still hang around like a hound, so that's why the dream may change them to such dark characters... Maybe expressing a desire for freedom. I think the dreams have exaggerated them quite a lot as I have also had a lot of good experiences with my parents.

Name: NB
Age as of 2018: 22
Role in Dream: My very quiet and reserved brother, he rarely appears in dreams and is only ever a good character if he does.
Interests in Dream: Computers and other technology
Main Activity/ies: Plays games with me, sometimes gets unfairly treated by parents (very rare).

Name: Grandmother

Role in Dream: A support character, does practical things (housework)
Interests in Dream: -- Unknown --

In real life, when he was alive, he was an addicted man to alcohol and smoking and sometimes, he wasn't very nice to the family. As I always avoided him, maybe that's why the dream has turned him nightmarish.

Name: WB
Age as of 2018: 18
Role in Dream: Ordinary student
Interests in Dream: -- Unknown --
Main Activity/ies: Sitting and chatting with her friends, gets grumpy when she sees me (does not get grumpy in Dream No. 92 and Dream No. 93)

There are two of WB listed here but they are actually different figures... They actually both appeared in a dream at once! A different times but in the same dream. WB is the authentic one, the one that carries her real life personality. Dreamy WB is the one that likes me and actually protects me from unforgiving DCs. Basically, WB doesn't have any personality alterations, whereas Dreamy WB is a heavily manipulated version of WB.

Main Activity/ies: Nearly conducted a choir (but didn't)

Ms A is also rarely manipulated.

I feel as if though NN wants to be a dreamy guardian but I'm not ready for him to become default yet. It's good to have him though as within the 2 dreams I have had him in, he has seemed to take action pretty quickly and I didn't even call him.

Flying High Again (Full nld)

Just remember that I'm flying high above the earth. I can see continents and I can also see names of countries like "Tibet". My mind tries to justify flying so high. I look below and see that I'm on a zipline??? Weird.

I find a place to land. I somehow drop into some sort of garage or shed. My vision zooms 3rd person and I can see two people are about to come in the shed. First person now and I don't wanna get caught. I see some outside light on the bottom of a wall and somehow crawl under it making myself flat. I get outside just in time! I walk somewhere else but the dream fades.

Note: WBTB at 5 am.

No, Not the Bees (Frag)

Fragment of a girl eating some cake. She starts choking and gives a garbled scream. I ask what's wrong? She keeps gargling and suddenly some bees start flying out of her mouth. I jump back freaking out.

Slabs? (frag)

Weird frag about Asuka showing me how dreams are represented in concrete slabs? I was in a black place and a concrete slab would zoom into view and Asuka would be there saying something about dreams. then I'd dream inside what the slab represented. Then Asuka would bring another and I'd be in a different dream. Then another and another. After a while it was no longer Asuka showing me but a man. This happened dozens of times as I tossed and turned in my bed.

Why (full nld)

I am walking around in a house that i think belongs to K my cousin. The place seems long abandoned. I'm having dream memories of the day before? That earlier I had my friend from 2011 Jamie over at this place and I was giving her a tour... (gosh I hope it wasn't her eating bee cake from my frag.) So I was walking around the now empty place feeling sad she was gone again, and thinking that her presence was so full when she was around that when she left it was like a deafening silence. I imagined she was still there. "Here's the living room." I said, "And here's the balconey where you can smoke." I walked to a door that led to a little office, "And here's a private office for all your work."

Eventually I walked to the balconey and jumped off floating down to the ground. It was damp and wet out and I left on a path of dirt.

In my dream, Scott was driving somewhere and almost ran off the road twice, the second time he almost ran us into a river. Then I looked around and there was a small office next to the river, and the river was part of the decoration in a larger room outside of the office. I spoke to a dream person and asked where we were and they remarked the river, and said that they love it and come down to swim at it all of the time. Then there were many dream people that almost seemed menacing. Excitedly I began to wake up in the dream and I realized that it would be fun to go and take a closer look at all of the textures, smells and tastes inside the dream. I turned to Scott and told him these people are just “Aspects of myself- watch!” I asked a younger girl what she represented and she refused to tell me, I became angry and told her “NO! I know what you are, tell me what you represent!” And grabbed her tightly and pulled her in so that I could get right into her face and yell it over and over again. She tried to turn evil and then fight me, but I kept the fear down and kept repeating that I knew she was representing something and to tell me what it was. Finally almost annoyed she said – "I am your younger self." Confused I said "what does that mean?" Exasperated she said – “ I am the aspect of You fighting your younger self!” Instead of being kind to her as I have been in the past to aspects I felt even angrier and told my husband to defile her since she was just a part of me that I did not like- at which point the aspect sense left her and she was only a container or projection and I woke up feeling sick and angry at myself for being such a horrible person. WTF is actually wrong with me? I have to go back in and call for her, we need to talk, I need to say I am sorry.

WBTB at 2:45 am.


Trains (Lucid)

Started off... I'm sitting on a couch and Asuka is showing me a comic book. Inside I see a dream story about my friend Xereniak. She mentions the dream is happening now but I don't understand. In the comic strip Xereniak is pursuing Spider Man inside of a train with passengers on it. Xer Morphs into Venom and shoots black stuff at Spider Man which traps him a bit and they both tumble past the page. The whole effect looks like the moving photographs from Harry Potter, but in comic form.

I wanted to find out what happened to them. My vision zooms into the page. I become lucid outside a train station now when I'm walking and my walk feels light. I almost fly in that air a bit with a bit of extra bounce in my step. I go through a train door and enter a populated train, but the seating is more like a jumbo jet. I walk down and aisle a bit and then think of my goals. I remembered Asuka was with me earlier, so i look back. I see her as a Filipino girl who's sheepishly hanging by the door poking her head around the half wall. I'm surprised she's actually behind me in a lucid! I nod to her and say "Come on." She nods and silently starts walking up to me, she looks as if she's trying to find a seat. I then remember i wanted to try and dilate time. I wanted to find a clock so I looked at my wrists to see if a watch was on them but there weren't any. I then wanted to try Walm's time dilation method of counting your hand against the dream. I placed my hand on the other end of the car. I started counting but fell into SP right away. I saw some swirling energy and a scene formed around me but i lost my memory.

Brother (Frag)

Had a dream about visiting my brother. Forget exactly where, but Two people came from a rip in the dream and somehow convinced me to go with them. We went through and I was outside a big japanese palace at sunset. forget wht happened after.

Weakling (lucid)

I was in a hallway with some people and we were in the middle of raiding some place. some guy got the crap kicked out of him for some reason. I entered a room with a wooden floor and rice paper walls, some young and very short asian guy was sitting on a mat but he got up. I became semi lucid here because I was pointing a sword at him and he was telling me, "Just kill me quick, I deserve it" I didn't know why he was asking me to kill him or the context of the rest of the dream. I didn't even know why I was pointing a sword at him or even who the people I was with were because they were still in the hallway watching me no doubt. I looked down at my sword... It looked bent and rusted. I didn't wanna stab a guy helplessly who seemed to have already surrendered. Fully lucid now I told him I would just knock him out to keep from causing trouble. He didn't say anything. I did a Gracie Jiu jitsu takedown on him I remember from junior high when I took martial arts. I put him in an elaborate choke hold. His dream body was kind of rubbery so I couldn't get my arms around his neck just right. It must have looked kind of gay to my onlookers but I knew this would work. I somehow found the right hold and then let go after a minute. He was out cold. I went to join my friends in the hallway but forget what happened after.

Nerimeno again (frag)

Think I was watching another dream battle scene with Nerimeno in it.


Getting back from work (full nld)

Started I was leaving work and found a truck waiting for me with two people in it which may have been Data and Asuka. Asuka looked like T for a bit. I may remember some other woman in the car.. because I remember having some conversation about how guys dick size doesn't matter? Not sure. After a while asuka looked like R a manage i use to know from Walmart.

Data pulls the truck to my house apparently but he drives through the back yard. It looks like a total mess, and to be honest the whole place looked like choppy graphics from GTA San Andreas. In fact my house could have been CJ's house on grove street.. It looked really rundown and ghetto. Half the yard was dug up as if Ryder had been there looking for his secret stash. I thought it was all weird when I woke up.

Co worker prank (frag)

Brief frag of being at that house. The next part is gross so will put it in a spoiler

Spoiler for gross:

I was spiking a nasty co workers water bottle at Burger Shot with semen or something.

WBTB at 3:45 am. Probably slept around 4:50

Back to school (full nld)

Dream of Asuka, data, finding my dad in the school from the night before. We were walking my waking life dog Buddy around.

My dad mentioned how he was inheriting money from his friend R. I thought that was wierd. My dad went through a door to a class but instead it was a house and street... maybe his inner world? We walked on a bit and turned to a stairwell that also had an elevator. We went in there and I was just with my dog and some other dog. My dog fell asleep in the dream and I did the same.

FA, somewhere in the school, started walking around again but woke up.

Safe to say after my few days of (semi) lucid dreams and very intense meditations I was expecting to return to having more mundane dreams. I meditated this morning but the meditation was not focused on a particular subject and more just on quieting down my stressed out final exams week brain and getting a moment of peace before what I expect to be a very hectic day.

One thing I want to focus on in in a future meditation is the nature of a fair few (though not all) of my dreams to be very random and absurd. (Though honestly instances of this seem to have been going down.) Though there was a time where I was having extremely random and trippy dream scenarios occur. To some extent, I understand that all dreams will to some degree be nonsensical but these took it to a whole new level. I have a RL friend who's not a lucid dreamer but keeps a dream journal and does meditation and I would always tell her about the most ridiculous dream in recent memory. (I think last time we talked I told her about being chased by the flying centipede poodle on a Jetski while trying to deliver tacos.); and she would always tell me it was an indication that I needed to meditate more often.

Though I'm tempted to say that is the explanation right there. Not meditating makes dreams less focused and more nonsensical. I suppose if I enjoy the madness I can always 'bring on the weird' once I become fully lucid.

Regardless last night's dream is pretty mundane, and a good sign that I should get back into keeping a private journal. (Would be nice cause I could meditate on private things and journal them too.)

I was driving the old minivan my family had when I was little and I had gotten lost. I was trying to use the GPS on my phone but as dream technology would have you it was only telling me about turns I could make to get back onto my route after I passed the intersection, and as contrivance could have you I couldn't stop the car. I saw that the van was running out of gas and figured that if I just kept driving eventually it would run out of gas and I could pull over and get out of the car and call someone.

At some point I activated the cruise control and fell asleep in the back. Miles later when I woke up and I was surprised to see that the van was still steadily driving down the road though I was now in a very unfamiliar location that I am certain is nowhere in my state. I thought I should stop the van but figured I would have to climb over to the front seat and press the brake and wasn't sure how I had been driving from the backseat.

I was in a small town by the sea. A massive fjord with a small town of colorful stucco buildings and patches of farmland built around the rolling foothills of a mountain range. Somebody was driving the van now, but it wasn't one of my parents. They pulled into a small hotel that had some semblance to that beach resort from every dream ever, but not very much. There was a beach along this part of the bay and even some palm trees. I presumed i was headed east when I fell asleep in the back of the car so I had no idea how I had so quickly found myself in a tropical location.

Regardless the people from the hotel showed me to a small cabin. I saw Manei but didn't pay attention to her and met this tall guy who looked evil and was a vampire but turned out to be really friendly. I lost the dream and woke up.
