      Non-dream stuff - Woke up between 8 and 9, few details recalled of some non-lucid fragments, but some of those also lost due to writing this much later.



      Fragment 1
      Was in a spaceship of some kind, remembering traveling through a star system that had a gas giant planet that had a smaller planet lodged on its surface; I remember approaching the smaller planet and entering a blue sky atmosphere and I remember feeling both forces of ascent and descent, but always going very close to a horizontal parallel, so the forces weren't that strong.

      Fragment 2
      Some sort of transition with the first fragment where I was a giant and going through a city. Few details remembered now but I distinctly remember feeling like the perspective wasn't quite accurate (the field of view seemed too small).

      Fragment 3
      Doing something "naughty" with my partner, in a large concrete room; there was a bulb hanging from the ceiling, tungsten. There were a couple of computers that we weren't supposed to be using or something. The room had a door but it was more like a barred door, so it could be seen through. I remember feeling like somebody could intrude at any point.



      Some notes:
      • The first dream (fragment) has probably originated from recently playing Homeworld again a bit. Another game I used to play from the same era was Freelancer, which was another space game. Often, using a system editor in Freelancer meant you could do weird things like the two planets in this dream fragment.
      • Though normally I would consider the second fragment to be a possible dream goal (like for the October competition by KarlaB18), I do not consider it detailed enough to actually have achieved that goal. The fact that it occurred is a positive for me because I rarely dream of subjects I'm very interested in or want to have fun with.

      ALESSAR MANN.
      I woke up because of that name. I had been having a Sherlock dream (from Elementary). He was looking into something with his former Scotland Yard friend. They found a manifesto or something which was signed with that name. Sherlock looked to Watson. He knew his Scotland Yard friend was being trolled. He later explained to Watson it was because of that name... "A Lesser Man"

      I am not witty in the least. My dream tugged at the name and how it "should" have been spelled instead- Alessir, perhaps; Alesser? So that's what ended up waking me

      I managed to get in 6 hours 38 minutes of sleep AND I only had 3 apnea events an hour. Woot/Woot!!

    3. Mrs. F is Fired

      by , 10-09-2018 at 02:31 PM (The Internal and Subconscious World of DropTherapy)
      In this dream, I am going into 10th grade in high school. In this dream, my middle school is able to hold 10th, 11th, and 12th graders, and so I am moved back there. I am given the same home room as when I was in 8th grade in real life, but the normal teacher is missing. Instead there is this mildly balding middle aged man with black hair and square rimmed glasses. He introduces himself and then once he says "I am Mrs. F's replacement" I whispered "yes!" in excitement. He then went over to me and told me that Mrs. F was fired. When I went to talk to one of Mrs. F's assistant staff, she burst into tears of joy at the realization that her freedom of speech had been restored and she was able to express her opinion. In the dream, I eventually went back to my high school.

      Date of Dream: TUE 9 OCT - 2018



      Dream No. 447 - Almost A Front Row Seat


      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was in this completely unknown area, about to enter the auditorium for this concert being held by past X-Factor artist TH. My mum told me what seat number I was supposed to be in and when I actually entered into the auditorium, I realised it was actually so close to the stage! Things were taking place afterwards in the foyer with TH as well but I have forgotten then specific events. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream No. 446 - Separated Sections


      Dream 446 A - You're A Part Of Us

      I don’t remember much about this dream. From what I can remember, I was in this unknown outdoor area and my friend JO was sitting on this bench in the room next door. All my other friends were in the room with me and so I got them, one by one, to go and introduce themselves to JO. Apparently LA had already had her turn, so now it was JH. Then after that, WB (who I am sadly not friends with in real life) was also with us and so I sent her over. The dream actually showed WB shaking hands with JO and introducing herself. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

      Dream 446 B - I Want My Twenty Dollars

      I don’t remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, it was high school but the appearance of the grounds was a mixture of my primary school and high school. Ms Le. was somewhere in the school yard and I was talking to her. Today was Wednesday and she mentioned about us going on the excursion tomorrow, being Thursday. She was going to lend me some money for something tomorrow but she wanted me to pay the twenty dollars to her today. I tried questioning her, saying it would be more sensible for me to pay tomorrow but she still had her mind set on getting paid today.

      In the next scene, I was in my house after school and I was talking to my mum, asking if she could give me a twenty dollar note. She was unsure at first and so I really started panicking, stating that Ms Le. would actually kill me if I didn’t give her the money by the end of tonight. I don’t remember if I ended up getting the money or not. The next scene was actually in an art class with Ms Le. but the day and exact time wasn’t specified… This scene is blurry.

      Then for the last scene, I was at the park across the road from my old house. I was sitting on the play equipment with my grade four teacher who had a distorted appearance compared to how she looked in real life. In the dream, she looked more youthful but then this also gave her a creepy. She was commenting to me about my reading and about how she would like me to read more fairy-tales in order to improve the quality of my reading. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

      Dream 446 C - Beanies Don't Come Cheap

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was at my other grandparents’ house with all my family members and a few other people as well. There was this really tiny baby girl that was crying really loudly in the sitting. I ended up scooping her into my arms and taking her into one of the bedrooms at the back of the house to try and calm her down. As I sat her down on the bed and started cuddling her, I could see my mum just outside in the hallway, telling the other person with her to be very quiet as they secretly watched me in admiration.

      Eventually, the baby girl became quiet and they every other person congregated into the bedroom and sat all on the same bed. Then this stranger woman and man came in, carrying some sort of small machine. There was this thread that the lady would put through the machine and when she turned it, it would turn into a beanie. I asked if I could have a go at using the machine with some thread but she and the man said no.

      Beanies were being made for everyone else but when I asked if I could have a beanie, they also said no. The lady then explained that I had to register for something on a website and then pay to have a beanie made. I thought that this preposition was ridiculous and everyone else was getting beanies for free, or so I thought. The dream ended there.

      Dream 446 D - What Could Possibly Go Wrong

      The dream started with me in the suburb next to mine but I have forgotten the exact location. There were two buses that were going each to a different campus of Monash University. The first campus, the dream claimed, was on Blackburn Road and the other campus was somewhere in Glen Iris, the Glen Iris campus does not exist in real life.

      Weirdly, the driver of both buses were 18-Volt! Yes, there were two of him in this part of the dream, looking exactly the same as each other, sporting the WarioWare Gold appearance. I also a had a clone in this section of the dream, both of us in our school summer dress. I am going to call the alternate 18-Volt “Carbon 18-Volt” to make this recap easier to understand, and my clone will be called “Carbon Karla”.

      Although I looked the same as Carbon Karla, the dream stated that we behaved differently; this was also the case for 18-Volt and Carbon 18-Volt. Carbon 18-Volt was driving the bus to the Blackburn Road campus and there was a special area in the front for Carbon Karla to sit next to him, the rest of the university students were all in the back where passengers would usually be. Carbon Karla’s personality was more like a cute kitten and Carbon 18-Volt was very affectionate and gentle. The dream showed Carbon Karla sleeping, curled up on top of some box after Carbon 18-Volt had turned his head from the wheel to gently hush her and gave her a small pat on her side that was facing up. To sum that up, Carbon 18-Volt had earlier lulled her to sleep while he was driving.

      Meanwhile, my personality was that of my waking life self. I was still interested in my surroundings but was more chilled and nonchalant about what happened to me. When it came to 18-Volt, he just drove and didn’t really pay too much attention to me if I didn’t say anything to him. Like in the other bus though, the arrangement was exactly the same in that there was a special area for me to be next to 18-Volt while the rest of the students were in the normal back passenger area.

      I was rather looking out the window at all the scenery on the way to Glen Iris while eating this mixed icy-pole and ice-cream all in one! The outside part was icy-pole which was a combination of Watermelon and Pineapple, kind of like a Frosty Fruits. The inside was cookies and cream ice-cream with there being a huge chunk of only biscuit in the centre area. I was making exaggerated movements with my mouth to convince myself that the combination of Frosty Fruits icy-pole and cookies and cream ice-cream tasted good. My mind figured that 18-Volt had given this to me earlier to serve as a distraction so I would let him drive rather than chewing his ear off with my talking.

      The dream then skipped to me wandering around by myself in the campus. I noticed that some areas had lift doors blended into the walls; they were almost the same colour as each other. As I would in waking life, I slightly shook if I walked past a door. Then the intention kicked in, still non-lucid though, to look for 18-Volt. The fact that he was a bus driver in the previous scene had completely left my mind and so I thought he was new to find.

      There was a small segment of possible scenarios taking place in an elevator. First, it was a third person perspective of me being held by 18-Volt and my mind was saying “No! It has to be in first-person!”. Then after that, there was only 18-Volt in the elevator and I was nowhere to be scene; my mind said “No! I have to be there!”. The dream was playing snippets of all the possible inconveniences. There were other inconveniences that played out in that scene but I have forgotten what they were.

      The dream then played as if I was entering the campus for the first time, forgetting that I had been in there before. The camera was behind me, of the same fashion as if you were playing a video game and you could see the character from behind, and so I could see that this time, I was wearing my school winter uniform. My hair was also a bit more orange than usual; I liked this accent of the henna dye.

      So I was running, or let’s say walking through the corridors at a very fast pace while calling for 18-Volt. Eventually though, I came into the entrance of this massive ladies’ change-room so large it’s even bigger than the ones at the local pools in real life. While I was in there, the dream then went to playing in first-person mode again. Every single girl was wearing some black or really dark navy blue outfit and were standing on the benches to change.

      I frantically, quickly marched though every nook and cranny of the change room, shouting and asking the girls, “Does anyone know where 18-Volt is, has anyone seen him around?”. The girls said no but then some of them were also giving me strange looks, probably wondering why I would think 18-Volt was in the ladies’ change-room. To me, I just thought he could be anywhere.

      Eventually, I came across one area of the change-room where there weren’t any benches and rather there was just a lonely table in the middle of the room. It was a weird sight as on that table, I thought it was 18-Volt but he was in a form of… A ladies’ ballet flat? As soon as I even thought about commanding the shoe to turn into a human, I started to feel that familiar tingling, lifting sensation and this time, I knew what it was… The dream was trying to initiate a wake up on me. I decided to stop and instead, I took one of my socks and school shoes off, and slipped the ballet flat onto my foot, then finally making my way out of the crazy change room.

      Back in the corridors, 18-Volt had actually successfully appeared in his human form, once again, based on WarioWare Gold. I walked up to him but just as he was getting ready to bend down and scoop me up into his arms for a hold, the dream forces me awake.

    6. Log 1258 - Time Loco-Motion and Other Assorted Stories

      by , 10-09-2018 at 12:39 AM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Monday 08 October 2018

      Lots of things to note today, including a DEILD. There are, however, a lot of details missing to the dream preceding said LD.

      Dream 1 - Great Hailstones

      The visuals were a bit blurred. I was at home in the lounge at daytime. My sister, Nevena was nearby.

      Later, a powerful storm passed through, debris battering the house through its winds. But, when I looked closer, I realized it wasn't debris at all, but instead, thick chunks of hail. Quite fascinating, but dangerous. I warned Nevena to keep away from the windows. As if on cue, a great hailstone pounded right through the window, shattering it entirely.

      Several other visitors and family members showed up to see all the commotion. Among them was my brother, Boyd. I eagerly mentioned the near-prophetic caution I gave above. He, on the other hand, was more concerned of my having bad breath. Unlikely, as I distinctly recalled having brushed my teeth earlier (as in, right before I went to bed!). Pity I just let the thought pass.

      Anyway, we coordinate getting the shutters ready as a temporary seal to the then empty window frame. There was a lot of miscommunication as to who was to do what. In the end, my bro cleared the storage closet and retrieved everything himself, while I just stood around confused.

      Next was actually installing the shutters. There was, thankfully, no rainfall, and hail was sparse. Unfortunately, hailstones that did hit ground were now enormous. In fact, each seemed more as solid ice cylinders the size of tin cans than conventional hailstones.

      Details get unclear. Something about strangers hurrying at the door? Not sure how this ended.

      Dream 2 - Counter-Siren Song

      The visuals were bright but slightly blurred. I was working at my old job at the gas station during a sunny day.

      From the register, I spotted a sizable crowd forming at the lot beside the store. At the head was a peculiar woman, slim figured, and hair and robes both colored in vibrant shades of green and violet. She was drawing in the crowd with a wordless song, morose, yet haunting. But, as I discerned her inhuman tones, I realized she wasn't a woman at all, but rather a mythical siren. What's more, I also noticed that Boyd was among those that had been ensnared!

      For a moment, I was paralyzed in fear, before setting out reluctantly. I paced carefully outside to the corner, keeping just out of the creature's view. "Remembering" I had magic of my own, I soundlessly evoke a countersong (a made-up 80s rock tune, I think?). I then drew closer towards the enchanted crowd. Those nearest to me immediately snapped out of their trance. By good fortune, this included my bro. The rest, it seemed, needed more time.

      Sadly, time had run its course. I was out of juice. The siren, for her part, was infuriated at my meddling. She slowly approached me, and with a glare, she wordlessly commanded those enthralled to do the same. There was no way I could take her head on, even one on one; despite her waifish appearance, she had the strength to match any wild beast. I instructed Boyd and the others to flee and call for help. Just as well, I was planning to do the same anyway.

      The dream collapsed shortly after.

      Scrap Group 1
      Wandering around in an urban area. Something about meeting Chipp Zanuff from Guilty Gear. We rescued people from a disaster. I used time control powers to help with such. DEILD transition to below.

      Dream 3 - Time Loco-Motion

      The visuals were clear. I was in an urban area, grey sky in view above the surrounding buildings. A set of elevated railways lined the nearest street, where a train passed by almost instantly. Both the TOTM and contest were fresh in mind. I reversed time, and watched as the whole train slowly moved backwards out of sight. With a wave of my hand, time flowed forward again. But now, various random objects replaced individual cars, including road vehicle frames, if not entire road vehicles themselves. All such components were completely scrambled and misaligned, yet tumbled along in sequence and without altering the entire train's movement at all.

      Next, I ran heedlessly in the the middle of traffic. Cue the sound of angry horns as vehicles veered away from me. By exhaling, I slowed down time. Concurrently, the air rippled around me, and the dream became without sound. I chased several vehicles, but found that, despite their slowed speed, I couldn't really keep up with them. Actually, I felt enervated all around.

      Just then, a terrible pileup was forming ahead of me. In fact, one or more of the vehicles were in the process of exploding. To save myself, I slowed time almost to the point of stopping. I then ran well ahead of the site of the accident.

      The dream collapsed shortly afterwards, and I woke up.


      Scrap Group 2
      At home. Mom was in the kitchen, while Nevena was doing karaoke in the living room. Oddly enough, she was singing to the tune of Holy Diver by Dio. I jubilantly joined in with her. Seems we both flubbed the lyrics at times.

      Something about watching Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy?
