Dark_Merlin's Dream Journal

This one was looong, and ended with me becoming lucid briefly!

It all began with some sort of an excursion with school. We were in some kind of an open room, in the side of a mountain. I think I recognise it from a video game I played a long time ago. I was looking over the edge of one of the gardens and accidentally dropped something, a ring? It fell but I knew where it would be. A girl from my school had also dropped something, and so we asked the teacher there if we could go find it. I got delayed by something, I had to talk to them for a long time on some sort of platform before I was able to go down stairs. It took a long time, and I never actually ended up getting the item I dropped.

Change. I, and four other people are trapped in a facility. There was a lot of the dream I don't remember, something about some sort of red liquid, which foamed up in our mouths. I made a plan to escape and take everyone with me. The whole facility is actually floating, outside the sky is red and cloudy. I remember finding my way into a security tower, which overlooks a landing pad which resembles that of one of the Star Wars movies. I jump out the window and fly away, knowing I'm going to get spotted before I escape. The man who runs the facility sees me and alerts the guards. I see a phone, it looks like the Nokia blackberry copy, on top of some sort of water tank. I know it's the man's. I maneuver to grab it, and I know I'm fading out. I desperately try to read the two messages in his inbox, and try and commit them to memory. I read the first one, but I can't remember what it said.

Change. I'm in an underground facility, the walls are made of stone. I'm Neo, and I'm with Trinity. I immediately recognise that we're in the plot of a movie. We walk to the end of a small bridge with overlooks blackness. There is a small stone door, on a stone ledge, small enough to crawl through. On it are the letters 'SMDSI May Live', or something similar to that. I immediately remembered that it is a movie, and told Trinity that it is the title, 'She Must Die So That I May Live' I told her to wait in the lobby, and turned the other way. I felt horrible.

Change. I think I must have had an FA in which I got up and went to the toilet. It's either early morning or late afternoon, and overcast, because there is a soft grey glow coming in through the window. I look up in the mirror, the bathroom light isn't on and the only light is that which comes through the window. Oh goodness, not again. My mouth was full of the red foam from one of the earlier dreams, and it was blocking off my hearing. I tried to spit out as much as I could, it made my hearing come back buy my mouth still felt full. I look up. What the!? I had hair which went down to my shoulders, and my face looked like that of a woman. Since when was my hair this long, I don't remember! I did the nose check RC, and could breath in. It took a second to click, but I was dreaming! I looked into the mirror, and morphed my looks back to normal, my hair shrank back to it's regular length, and my face morphed back to it's regular shape. I got excited, and tried to stabilise the dream. I yelled at the dream telling it to stabilise, and remembered to use my senses. I rubbed my hands together and looked at the kitchen. The light was on, an older style bulb. I knew to take note of my environment and I looked at the light, it was in a chandelier, which was actually made of a glass floral punch bowl we own, but warped slightly. The kitchen was also bigger than it is in waking life. I wasn't controlling my breathing, I was still too excited.

I wake up in bed, in full SP and try to re-enter, but my mind is too active. I'll get it soon.

I was in some sort of trial, I had been bio-engineered to contain butterfly DNA, in the hopes that I could fly. I remember being in Port Macquarie, though my purpose there I'm not sure of. It was night, and I was on one of the higher levels of the resort, though the room didn't resemble anywhere I've ever been before. I could feel I was different, I could physically feel that if I learned to, I could fly, as though I had wings in my back.

I have a fragment of being in a carpark, it was daytime. We were going to court, something about my modifications. I don't remember the first visit or anything that happened during it, it is all blank.

I made the decision, I was going to have to learn to fly. I went to a field, long, stretching glass plains and tried to fly, but I failed. I needed to get my father to help me. My dad was in the loungeroom, with 3 other people. One was his business partner, the other my dentist, and I'm not sure on the 4th, but I believe he was old. They were all drunk, and relaxing in soft padded lounge chairs. It was late afternoon, and a soft, warm sunlight filled the room, but the atmosphere was still tense for me.
"I'm going to learn to fly. I want to, all the hormones in my body are telling me I have to, there's no reason not to."
They didn't seem as disturbed as I thought they were going to be, and I told them I would owe them a 6 pack for helping me.

The dream skips, and I am in court again. Artificial lighting, lots of wooden furniture and walls. I believe I was being told that I wasn't allowed to learn to fly. All the people here wore suits, with extremely pale skin. One old man in particular glowed blue, and stared at me and hissed. They had some sort of paper shredder made out of spinning knives in a box.

I wish I remembered more of this dream. I thought and felt as though I was in waking reality throughout the whole dream, and it was one of the most vivid dreams I've had in a long time. I could physically feel how I would use my wings, it's such a weird sensation and I can stir the feeling in waking life. The men in the suits have me confused, they had a very, very strong presence.

The personality that ran the testing facility was no longer Glados, instead it was a booming male voice, possible an animal, a dog, or a pig I think. I was fiddling around in one test chamber with a portal at the top of a very tall wall, and another at the end of a bridge. I would hop in the portal on the bridge and come out the top and repeat a few times, just keeping myself entertained. This triggered me to question what was going on, I knew SOMETHING wasn't right, but didn't conclude I was dreaming. A lot of the levels had black/yellow stripes on the walls, as though it was to signify it was under construction.

The last of the dream I remember was crawling through a rather large air-conditoning duct, and looking out a vent at the male Glados, and someone it was talking to. I remember pushing open the vent, thinking 'They're going to see me, why am I pushing this open, stop pushing it open.' It was too late, they both turned to look at me, and I jumped out and killed who/whatever it was that Glados was talking to. I then ran as fast as I could to a small room to the left. Here I needed small parts to kill Glados, and had a false memory about finding the parts I needed in the back of the computers in the room, but that for some I would need to break the computers to find the pieces I needed. The first computer I checked I found the piece straight away, a small glowing metallic part in the grate of the power supply. I quickly tore apart a couple of other computers, trying to find the same part. The dream was repeating slightly, and I noticed, but didn't become aware it was a dream. I had used up too much time searching, I wasn't going to find the parts and Glados was going to kill me. I wake.

Weird dream about eagle boys pizza. The beginning of the dream is unclear, but I'm sure I was in an Eagle Boys pizza, which was more like a Hogs Breath Cafe restaurant on the outside, and inside. It was some kind of school excursion, perhaps. I was using my school laptop to try and access their webpage to get information - perhaps on the llama, but the internet wasn't working or the website didn't have the information. The page looked something like a router settings page. We were discussing something at the table, I think it was about animals, in specific, pigs?

I remember discussing with a curly haired male - reminiscent of one of my friends about the signature of the Llama which was the security guard of the restaurant. I remember having passed the restaurant in a bus at the time, and trying again to get information about the restaurant on their website.

I haven't been uploading my DJ entries lately, because my recall went a bit haywire, and then I just couldn't be bothered typing out the really long dreams I've been having but I will upload this one! The FA I had at the end unfortunately messed up my recall of this one a bit.

I don't quite remember how I entered this dream, I was at my house. I knew I was lucid for quite a while, but I wasn't taking full control. I was with a group of my friends, including Toby. We were in the family room of my house, and they were trying to distract me and make me re enter the dream plot. I decided I was sick of it,
"Go!" I yelled, and raised my hand and watched them all disappear. I'm not sure, but I believe Toby may have actually stayed, even though I got rid of the rest of them.

I remembered that I needed to ground myself, and I was surprised I'd forgotten for this long. I was outside in my backyard, and bent down to feel the texture of the pavers. I looked around my backyard, trying to take in things in my vision and trying to see as much detail as I could. I breathed deeply, and thought about how I should increase the limits of my vision again. It was sunny, and as I increased my vision to a hyper-realistic field of view, everything transformed into this magnificent glowing orange colour. I don't think I've ever seen a colour like this before, it was like everything was bathed in this orange/red glow, while at the same time looking normal. I was quite happy with myself for being able to do it at will this time.

I then went back inside, still taking in my senses, though moving too fast because I was overwhelmed. I remembered I had to get to the lake, and figured this time, I would use my glass sliding doors as a giant portal. I looked at the doors, and willed them to transform. Various scenes appeared: a tundra, a dense green forest, and then small patches of the lake started to shine through. I think I focused too hard on the doors, I started to lose my grip, and I exited the dream.

I woke up in my bed, and completely forgot to RC or even write it down in my dream journal. My memory of this is quite blurry, but I know I texted Forceez about it, telling him I'd just had another lucid dream!
The rest of this FA lasted for a very long time, and my dad was clearing out the garage. My bathroom cabinet was in the middle of the right wall of the garage, and my parents were telling my how I needed to cut my earlobes for the holes in my ears to fully heal. I had a false memory of having had my ears pierced before, and unpiercing them and being left with tiny holes in my ears.

We proceeded to snip from the lobe up to the hole in my ear, leaving me with two dangling bits of flesh. It didn't hurt at all, but the skin felt squishy and dead, and I wondered if they would ever join back together properly.
When I woke up and started to recall this dream, I'd originally forgotten I'd had a lucid. I took myself back through the dream until I remembered texting Forceez. It was then I wondered "what did I text him about" and remembered I'd had a lucid!

I caught the bus home from school, it was raining, hard. All colour was washed out because of the overcast sky, and I walked home as fast as I could to try and avoid the rain. I remember getting home and getting on the computer and talking on msn, before I decided to check DV. It wouldn't load! Firefox came up with an error that the page wasn't found, I'm not quite sure what was going on. I checked again, and there was an error about a username being denied, and the password being 'YES!' The forum was laid out all wrong, as though the CSS was missing. I remember I made a post in a thread, someone else was noticing what was going on.

A few minutes later, the site was back to normal, but I was hit with massive dejavu - isn't this the way the site was a few days ago? I did an RC - I'm dreami-!

I wake up.

Very long dream, but only a fragment.
Someone had their drink spiked, with some kind of drug that induced sleep paralysis. The SP then made them hallucinate that their hands and feet were swapped, and that their flesh was melting off When we figured it out, we got them to wake up, I think.

Last night, my recall wasn't so great, because I'd been out to a party and been drinking. It did seem to influence the setting of my dream though, and I experienced tiredness within a dream for the first time. I didn't wake up after my first sleep cycle which is unusual for me, but I'm going to put that down to the alcohol.

I was at some kind of a massive sleepover at someone's house. They lived in an enormous mansion, and there was at least 20 people staying the night. This dream went for a really, really long time, though I don't remember much of it. I was sitting in a small, dark room which had loads of TV screens and gaming consoles mounted on the walls. A lot of people were in here playing games and talking, we were all sitting on stools. I remember being really tired; my eyes were sore and I was getting annoyed at Toby. Everyone got up, and started to go to bed. Michelle told me
"You need to catch some Z's"
Toby had just driven some car, and was talking about how he had changed his mind about how he didn't want to drive an old 'shitbox'.
When everyone started to leave to go to bed, I started to get quite nervous, thinking that as people went to sleep I'd be stuck not being able to get to sleep with people snoring, but I thought about how I could lie down and use WILD and meditation to get myself ready for sleep.

As I thought about that in the dream, my consciousness transitioned into my waking body. It took me a few seconds to realise that I was in bed, and asleep and not dreaming, but I immediately noticed that I was in SP. It was quite deep, and it felt wonderful as I stayed calm, let my breathing stay slow, and tried to just look into the darkness of my eyelids to transition into a DEILD. It eventually faded, and I rolled over and wrote down this dream.

This one surprised me a lot, I really wasn't expecting my ex, Chelsea to keep showing up in my dreams. It's probably been 3-4 weeks since I've had a dream about her, and 2 years since we broke up

It was raining, though everything wasn't as grey and washed out as it normally is when it rains in my dreams. I was outside, on the fields at school (actually the field from my primary school). Apparently, I'd put some kind of post on facebook the night before, and the popular group tore into me for it, but I didn't understand what they were saying. I was walking along, about to go to class and trying to get out of the rain, when Chelsea approached me.
"Hey, Alex?" I was shocked.
"Are you alright?" I was confused, because a) she was talking to me, and b) she was genuinely wondering if I was okay. I looked at her, and memories I'd forgotten for a long time came back in one giant wave. She seemed just like the person she used to be.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?"
"I saw all that stuff they said on facebook last night"
"Oh, yeah, my facebook messed up and I never got any of that"
I was so confused, I wanted to ask her why she was talking to me, if we were friends again, but I didn't, and I just walked away. I left the field along the small path that led to all the classrooms. A lot of my friends were on the field, looking at me strangely, I didn't want to talk to anyone and walked faster, holding my folder above my head as though I just wanted to get out of the rain. Why is she still appearing in my dreams? Perhaps she has something to do with the brick wall.

I continued to the woodwork rooms, where we were making wind turbines. Flynn and Paul were making a really accurate version for the school to present, but I wasn't that worried about the assignment and knew I didnt have to do it to that level of detail. I briefly questioned why we were making wind turbines - when we did that last year, but quickly dismissed the thought. Mr D and Mr P brought us over to talk about the new wood they had just got in which was supposed to be some sort of excellent wood, but it was actually just chipboard and plywood, which confused me briefly.

I panicked, as I realised I had forgotten my folder, and I must have put it down on the field in the rain when I stopped to talk to chelsea. I went outside to search for it, and I ended up in some kind of stall sale for the school, though it was located on what I think was a street in the inner city. It was raining heavier now, and I stopped to talk to a teacher explaining that I'd lost my folder and was going to find it, when I noticed it on the ground. I picked it up and walked inside.

This dream was really long, and very vivid. It seemed a lot more chronological than most dreams I have. My dreams are getting better, and I'm noticing things that are odd a lot more, but I've still been dismissing them. I'll start to pick up on them soon for sure.

This was another one of the 'game within a dream' kind of dreams, where my perspective shifts from me playing the game and talking to people around me, to being the character inside the game. Always fun to wake up from these ones.

It was the future, everywhere I looked there were tall, grey buildings surrounding me. It reminded me a lot of Deus Ex in regards to the setting, but the plot I believe was something of an RPG. I played through the game once, knowing the plot. I talked to dad multiple times during this, we were in a large cafe or restaurant, which now that I think about it is actually quite similar to a restaurant I've seen in many of my dreams before, though never visited. It was sunny, and I was playing on a laptop on a small, round table. I've had quite a few dreams here, though never noticed until now.

I decided to play through again, and I remember being in the perspective of the character. I was trying to go as fast as I could, trying to play through as fast as I could. I was sprinting at incredible speeds, bouncing off of walls and jumping through doors. One scene I remember vividly is a ledge, next to a large hole that has been blown into a wall. Inside there is a short man who looked a bit like a gnome. The room inside was lit by a large drum-fire. I sprinted and jumped up and right through the hole in the wall.

It was a relatively hot day, and so everyone decided to wear breathable tight fitting clothing. I chose to wear my brand new thermal pajamas, and felt as though people were looking at me kind of funny because of it. When I got to roll call (in my old roll call classroom) Armstrong had shown up wearing his red morphsuit. Mr D, Tim, Armstrong and I had a discussion about how morphsuits were more suited than thermal pajamas. More people started showing up, all wearing morphsuits. We then proceeded to a lesson in the classroom. It was about maths, and decision making. We learnt a formula which was quite difficult, and then a second formula with everyone said was much harder. It was explained with a 2x2 checker board with chess pieces on it, with arrows pointing all different directions.

This dream was really, really long! It felt like about 3-4 hours, even though I was only asleep for 45 minutes. There was also a lot of detail in this dream, but I forget big patches of it.

I had a bunch of friends over, including Jeremy. My house looked different, the front end which contains the living room seemed larger, and the furniture was in a position we used to have it years ago. We were all playing with electronics, and I think before that we were playing the Wii. Most of the lights were off, and we had some kind of device which made sparks. After touching the sparks, I instantly gained the ability to create sparks with my hands, rationalising it as static electricity. Jeremy also touched the device, and started shooting sparks at me.

We ran around the house in the dark, playing with sparks. Mine were a bright green, his were a bright blue (opposite to what they're supposed to be..) and we kept going until suddenly, they stopped working. Our friends had unplugged the device during some kind of event (not sure what happened?). I found an old hat from the primary school I went to, laying ontop of a small white cupboard that doesn't exist. I put it on, like the cool guy I am, when I heard a car pull up outside - my dad was home

I recognised the deep rumble of the engine, my dad had been dropped home by one of his old friends who drives a Mini Cooper S. I looked in the car, and it was full of hundreds of copies of the same book. It was a red hard cover book, with white print on the front which was yellowed with age. I remembered knowing what the book was, that it was some sort of book related dad used to be into, my mind created the idea that it was about Mini Coopers and I ignored it.

Suddenly, two small children, a boy and a girl ran across from my neighbor on the left side. They had just knocked and ran, and were running to their house. They lived on the neighboring house to me on the right side. The man who owned the house came out and chased the kids, and started yelling at them about how it wasn't funny, next to my house, while I walked back inside to find my friends.

There feels like there was a lot more in this dream, but these are the only parts I remember properly

EDIT: This morning I woke up and started discussing with dad about my lucid dream, and how wonderful it was to have had another one. We started talking about the infinite possibilities readily available in dreams, and the way those concepts apply to waking reality through a lot of the Eastern religions. After an hour or so, he went out to his room and bought back two books. As soon as I saw it, I recognized it and realized that it hadn't been a book about Mini Coopers. This book was "The Path Of The Masters".

I don't recall how this dream quite began, all I know is I realized one of my dream signs

Instantly I think "Hold on, this only ever happens in my non-lucid dreams, whoa!"

I performed the nose RC and felt the air rush into my throat. Quite an odd feeling, to say the least. I stood up and looked at my room, and everything started to get really blurry and I found myself extremely dizzy. I stayed calm, and knew in my mind that the dream wouldn't end. I breathed deeply, and used the 'lucid glasses' technique, materialising a pair of glasses and putting them over my eyes. Instantly, everything went to a 'realistic' level of detail, and then it went even further! I had no depth of field, I could see everything in front of me in absolute clarity. It was incredible, and I've never had a dream where I've experienced anything like it before.

I believe I left my room, and walked to the other side of my house, taking in as much detail as I could. I missed a few obvious differences from my real house, but everything seemed so hyper-realistic, I was enthralled. It was a sunny day, and everything was lit up in this magnificent golden afternoon sunlight. I reached my loungeroom, and decided
"Heck, other people do it."
and so, I decided to lick the floor. The tile was smooth, and tasted quite like I expected it - flavourless, except for the hint of dirt. I walked over to the office, and found my mother on her computer. She started talking to me about something, and I received a text message from my dad about a graphics card and gaming (possibly part of the dream I was having before I was lucid) but I said to her,
"That isn't important!"
This is when I remembered my dream goal - to teleport and find my friend Jeremy (forceez) in my dream. I focused on seeing his green aura through smoke, and tried to shift where I was to find him. I failed, I didn't know where he was going to be. I tried again, and still got nothing, and ended up disheartened. I wanted to find a different way to get to him, and I ended up in my backyard.

I saw one of the brick walls of my house, but there was nothing in front of it where we normally have chairs stacked up. Two of my friends have told me whenever they see me in a dream I'm next to an endless brick wall, and it's happened more than once. I wanted to use the wall to teleport, by walking through it and finding Jeremy on the other side. I was confident it would work. I focused on Jeremy and touched the wall. Instant blackness.

I wake up, sleeping on my stomach, in full SP. I focus on where I was, infront of the wall in my backyard. "Go back, go back, go back, go back." I ended up coming out of SP, and my intention drifting away. I rolled over, extremely excited and wrote in my DJ

It's good to be back!

This dream was incredibly vivid, and I seem to remember it in a more linear fashion than most dreams.
I was at school, after the day had finished for some kind of lesson. I don't recall what teacher we had, but I believe he was Mr Ryan, one of the most racist and sexist teachers at my school. We were in the metal/wood work block, waiting to find out what classroom we were going to be having the lesson in, and someone said to use Mr Gill's room.

We walked across to the social sciences block, and up the stairs to his room, where the door wasn't locked and we went inside. For some reason though, there was no power in the classroom, and we needed Mr Gill to come turn it on for us. I checked out the window, and Mr Gill was standing in the parking lot with his arms folded staring into the distance. Mr Ryan called out to him, and he came up to the classroom.

We turned on a video for our lesson on the projector, though the board was on the wrong side of the room compared to usual. Mr Ryan and Mr Gill were standing behind me, and they started having a conversation about a very rude student, due to how rude Cowan was being. I accidentally pressed a switch on a powerboard with my foot, and turned out two of the rows of lights. This confused me, as they're controlled by switches on the wall, but when I looked up I noticed they were plugged into an extension cable, and it made sense, since I'd just turned off that plug. When I looked up again, a different set of lights were on, in a staggered sort of patter. I didn't want to mess with the switch any more, since I might have been in trouble for fiddling with the lights if I did.

I tuned back into the conversation the teachers were having behind me about the student, and they were talking about how he had severe problems, and had killed himself. I don't remember the boy's name, but I'd thought I'd heard of him before, but I'm not sure I actually know him. Mr Ryan started talking about how it was good riddance, while Mr gill said it was tragic. Cowan butted in, saying how he knew how it happened - that he'd spun out his WRX and he was an idiot because he couldn't control it. I told him how he was being really disrespectful, but I had a bit of trouble wording the sentence. Mr Gill agreed with me, and Cowan said
"Whoa! Someone actually agreed with Alex on something." I was getting really sick of him being so rude. I pulled out my laptop, and loaded up a computer forum which is normally blocked at school. Tim was surprised that it was unblocked and he'd never known before.

When I woke up after this dream, I transitioned out into SP without moving. I gained too much awareness, though, and found my throat was extremely dry and I was sleeping on my arm, which was already really sore. I swallowed a few times, and figured I wouldn't be able to DEILD because there was too much noise and light, so I got up and wrote this into my DJ instead, but it's nice to see I could have DEILD'd!

My friends and I were on our bus of an afternoon, though we caught it from a bus stop which isn't on the route the bus actually goes. We'd decided to talk to the girls from a couple of years lower than us, and they thought it was hilarious to run up and hit us. They were weak, and I didn't feel anything when they hit me.

I remember something about seeing a car which was beaten up, and crappy. I laughed at it, I think I must have known the person who owned it.
