Dreamsphere (Return to the Chaos)

I am part of an underwater expedition. We are walking on the sea floor without any breathing apparatuses or diving equipment, yet we are able to breathe and move as if we are on land. The dream plays out like the puzzle books I would read when younger, which would give you tasks to complete such as finding items. In the dream, the task is to find all the scattered limbs of my dead colleague. While looking, I notice two Shellder

I am at a house that resembles my grandmother's, which is apparently being used as a residence for ghosts. I have fallen in love with one of the ghosts, and am laying down on a bed when she walks in and lays down as well. We talk for a while before Mike from Breaking Bad enters. He is part of a ghost extraction team and has come for a key that is of some significance. There is a struggle and my ghost companion screams at me to take the key and escape, assuring me that she will be fine. I find the key on the drawer unit, grab it and run to the window. As I jump out another man grabs my leg, but I manage to wriggle free. The girl has somehow given me the ability to fly, and as I manage to get my entire body out of the window I float upwards, with the key still in hand, away from the men after me.

I am at my grandmother's house. The doorbell rings and at the door is my grandmother's own grandmother, however in this world she is an evil spirit of sorts who needs to be killed. Frantically, my grandmother yells at me to retrieve a knife (which resembled a small door stop) that she kept on top of the door frame of the front room. I do so, but upon learning that my grandmother expects me to kill the evil spirit I become nervous and unable to move. Realising that we are wasting time, my grandmother grabs the knife out of my hands, opens the door and stabs her grandmother twice in the heart, killing her.

I then 'wake up' to find myself in another dream, in which I am still at my grandmother's house but sitting at the dinner table with my brother and cousin. I get up and walk to the bathroom, where I discover that I have a completely new hairstyle: it is shoulder-length and looks as if it hasn't been washed in a while.

Dream 1 - Toys and a Case of Mistaken Identity

I am at a toy store, and am browsing through the toys on the wall. A young female salesperson asks me if I need help and, not wanting her to think that I still play with toys, I tell her that I am Christmas shopping for my younger brother. The girl suggests a $109 Hot Wheels race track but I only have $50. I pick out a Transformer toy and find a place in the shop to sit. The same girl sits next to me and begins speaking to me as if we are good friends, makes me uncomfortable.

Later on, I leave the shopping centre via large concrete steps which strike me as very dangerous as, not only is there no safety railing, but the shop is apparently a hundred or so metres above ground level. As I am walking I notice a figure towards the bottom of the steps running at a very fast pace, as if he is trying to escape someone. For some reason, I am compelled to run after him, but as I arrive at the bottom of the steps I am confronted by a group of angry people who have mistaken me for the figure I was chasing.

Dream 2 - Meditation and Two and a Half Men

It is night and I am in the outside room of my house, having just learnt of the connection between meditation and astral projection/OBEs (Note: as I had prior to falling asleep in real life). I decided I wanted to experience this phenomenon for myself and began to meditate, making sure to breathe from my belly and focus on the buzzing one hears in their ears when all else is quiet. After about three minutes, I began feeling a heavy vibration accompanied by strange ghost-like noises that startled me out of my meditative state. Frightened, I ran inside and sat on the living room couch. Thankfully my family was awake which calmed me immediately, however proved problematic as I still wanted to meditate. All my subsequent attempts were interrupted by my youngest brother and the television set, which was playing my most despised of shows: Two and a Half Men. I got up to switch the television off but as I turned to sit it switched back on. I switched it off a second time but once again as I turned around it switched back on. This happened about three or four more times.

Dream 1: New Addition to the Family

I am walking with my family through a street lined with shops. My mother has recently adopted a young toddler, probably two years of age, of whom I am not fond of. While walking I somehow come to the realisation that our family's new acquisition is actually some sort of small gremlin, and though he does not appear it at this stage, I am alerted to the fact that he is evil or demonic in nature. However, it seems that I am the only one who sees this, even though as we walk the baby becomes less and less human in appearance. My suspicions are confirmed when my mother asks me to hold the baby/gremlin and, while no others are watching, he turns to me and snarls, then opens his mouth almost as wide as his head and reveals his ugly, long pointed teeth.

Dream 2: Extreme Apathy

I am at a shopping centre with my university class. We have currently all separated and as I walk I notice a girl whom I do not know climb over the ledge of the floor below me. I know that she is about to jump to her death but I do not shout or call for help, rather I lean over and calmly watch as she plummets. A crowd begins to form and I am reunited with my class, who are questioning me about what I saw. I am afraid that my apathy towards the girl's suicide will be considered unsettling, so I purposely try to sob and stutter as I recount the events. Later on, I forget where I have parked my car.
