Xanous' Dream Journal

#263 - SSILD - 4:39AM

I woke up from a non lucid realizing I lost consciousness before getting very far in my cycles. I do a few more and immediately the cycles feel really odd. Each sense feels magnified and the others feel totally absent. There is some colored rectangles HI with mild vibes. Each sense had its own colored rectangle that vibrated. I suppose I could have DEILDed or was DEILDing but my mindset wasn't there and I found the HI to be fascinating. It's not long until I go under completely.

My wife is cutting my hair in the bathroom as I watch in the mirror. The style looks like a 90's wedge cut and she is doing a horrible job of it. It's a rather long process and at some point he begins bleaching my tips against my will.

I eventually I find my self at work. I feel self conscious about my new hair style and I wonder into the restroom to look in the mirror. My hair is so horrible that I begin to panic. Some teenage boy sees me and laughs. I run out to my workstation and find a ball cap in a drawer. I quickly put it on.

Feeling better, I remember that I was going to ask for a vacation day. I look at time and see it's 7:23AM already. I wonder where the time went. After I get a vacation form I begin to look for my supervisor. I turn around and the entire shop has become a large carpeted room. There are round, short tables and little chairs arranged to fill the room. Several preschool kids are sitting at the tables watching some cartoon on a TV and roll-away cart. Bruce is standing over the kids with crosses arms supervising like a teacher.

I realize this is too weird and slowly talk myself into become lucid. I think to nose plug but feel a little reluctant after the last time. Instead I focus on the visuals and feel of the dream. I know I am dreaming. Out of instinct I decide to announce it to the room by standing on one of the tables. I shout out, "I am dreaming!" No one seems to care. All the DC's are completely lifeless so I move on.

I can't recall my goal but realize I am holding the vacation form in my hand still. I glance at it and of course it looks all wrong. I remember that I was looking for my supervisor and decide that maybe the dream wanted me to talk to her. I resume my search.

There is a door leading out of the class room but as I approach it I get the feeling that the dream doesn't exist beyond the four walls. I ignore it and open the door there is a long dark hallway and a oddly lit snack machine to the right. I am drawn to the light but the dream fades to black. I refuse to give up and start rubbing my hands together. I say, "Oh no you don't." while focusing on my hands.

I wake up feeling like I was talking in my sleep. Did I say "oh no you don't" out loud. I look over and see my wife is still asleep. I feel the need to DJ and notice a large tablet floating in front of me. My usual DJ is gone so I use this. I tap the screen and briefly record my LD by voice. This wakes my wife up. She asks what I am doing and I tell her I was just talking in my sleep. This seems to satisfy her and she goes back to sleep. For some reason I decide to get up but when I do I realize that we were both sleeping in an extra wide bathtub full of water. I feel wet and realize that I usually keep my Galaxy Player under my pillow for my WBTB alarm. I franticly look and see my pillow is underwater. I reach in and pull out my wet GP. At first it wont turn on and I think I need to put it in some rice. After messing with it for a bit is comes on and seems fine. I wake up.
