memorable

Once again, I had a dream where I was able to fly, although this did not happen until the end. It started in the countryside, I was staying at a country house, presumably staying with a friend or relative. He looked like what I remember my great grandfather looking like.

A woman on a train mentioned she saw something, maybe helicopters? I don’t know, I can’t remember. A man suggested it was an escort, and she denied it because she thought he was talking about a Ford Escort.

A couple of people appeared in my dream, such as [SNIP] who I glimpsed walking into a shop (after I received the ability of flight, I kept going to the shops for an unknown reason) and [SNIP] who I saw twice, excluding the part where he runs from me. The first time we didn’t talk, the second time we did, although I cannot recall what about.

There were also parts with [SNIP] and [SNIP], and I was trying to avoid dog crap. Towards the end of the dream I flew to the bottom of the garden, where earlier I had been avoiding the dog feces, and spotted [SNIP] with an unknown woman. I knew they were there because I had a mini-map which told me where they were - the same mini-map as Second Life.

They saw me and ran. That’s when they complained to the house owner (the man who looked like my grandfather) about me, and [SNIP] accused [SNIP] (another familiar face) of telling me they were at the bottom. That’s when I took off and just started flying. I flew until I came across some children playing in their back garden, two were on a trampoline and one wasn’t. The one that wasn’t seemed amazed and questioned me about how I was flying. I told him I was still learning to control my ability which is why I couldn’t hover perfectly. I landed and then his mother came out, she asked me if she could ride on my back as I flew and I said I didn’t know if I could hold the weight. She jumped on and suddenly I had a jet-pack, I pressed the button to increase the thrust and a menu appeared from Second Life. Then I saw the woman and wanted to change her to a younger woman, which I did. Then I stirred, rolled over, and woke up. I was semi-conscious towards the end because I wanted to change the woman’s appearance, which actually worked. I wasn’t in full realization I was in a dream, though. Just partly, in a way I was, but it didn’t occur to me I was lucid and I should try and control other aspects of the dream. If I was fully conscious, maybe I could have lucid dreamed. The only problem was the shock from a semi-conscious part of my brain realizing I’m dreaming, because I could change the woman, woke me up.

Extremely vivid dreams. I can’t remember them in much detail as unfortunately, I’m writing this at night where I’ve had a whole day to forget what they involved. I do remember a black jet, much like the one in Captain America. It was flying over a city.

The main dream I was somewhat of a gangster. No really. There were the Ballas from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, and I think they were giving me trouble. I scared them off, and then I saw a can thrown my way. I looked around and [SNIP] was approaching me. He simply said, “I need £100.” In which I replied “I don’t have “£100.” He pickpocketed me and ran with my wallet, then [SNIP] yelled “Go get him!” which is actually pretty out of character for him.

I chased him down, pushed him to the floor, and kicked him. This unnerves me as I have nothing against the guy. It also disturbs me that my dream self was so out of control and had a lack of empathy.

A few nights back I said I’d listen to that lucid dream inducement video the night in which I posted it. Well, to clarify, I haven’t, and I am having an easier time remembering my dreams without it. It may be coincidence, I don’t know. What I do know is: I’m trying WILD tonight.

Three dreams. The first was the main one, with a lot of the squad from Mass Effect 2 (I'm a nerd), including Tali, being trained under some commander. He looked a lot like the commander from the film Avatar. There were a few who weren’t from the Mass Effect universe, the most notable, Alex Mercer. Again I dreamed about this guy, maybe he can become a dream sign. If I see him, then I know I must be dreaming.

The second was simple really. It still had the commander in it but it was just about a guy dating what looked like Foxface from the first Hunger Games. It ended when the commander hovered above her house in a helicopter. I remember, before the commander arrived, her boyfriend coming to the door, who actually looked a lot like Thresh, another character from the Hunger Games. She opened the door and said she he can’t come in because she was babysitting. They kissed in the doorway, and one of the children who was being babysitted claimed that it was weird what they were doing. They stopped, the two children walked off, and before she closed the door she kissed him again. If I see any Hunger Games characters in the future, I’ll hopefully know that I’m dreaming.

The third and final was the smallest. Alex Mercer (again) jumping from building to building in a vast city, riding on a helicopter, and then jumping off to land on the roof face first. He got up and the place he landed was a restaurant, so he ate there. He could only order his food when the neon light switched on under the bar, and he had to be quick enough to order before they turned back off. Pretty random, but I’m noticing Alex Mercer popping up a lot in my dreams. If I see him, I have to be dreaming, considering that he’s a fictional character.

If I see him again, I hope I will come to the realization that I’m dreaming without being shocked awake.

Strange dream. Can’t remember the chronological order in which it happened, but at one point I was Alex Mercer, at school, finding it hard to resist my predatory instincts and hurt other students. I remember using the hammerfists and the spikes entering underground, then stopping the spikes from coming back up. I was successful in conquering my hunting instincts without anyone getting hurt. After this I started running up the school buildings, and I found a woman on the roof. I brought her down to safety.

Later on (or earlier) I remember I was in a white, sterile room with a group of friends including [SNIP]. I then took down one of the walls and there was a perfectly flat field with different buildings. I came to the conclusion we were inside [SNIP] head, walking around his subconscious. It was very strange, it was like we were seeing prominent buildings from [SNIP] life such as the [SNIP].

There may have other parts of the dream, although I can’t remember. The strange thing is I actually remembered this dream on a night I didn’t listen to the lucid dreaming inducement video on Youtube. And other nights when I have, I can barely remember anything. Maybe the video is halting my progress? I’m going to try again tonight without, then tomorrow night I’ll listen to it again.

Not much of interest really. Just running through a supermarket that looks similar to the shop from Stephan King’s ‘The Mist’ with a burger in hand. Whilst the burger was in my hand the police chasing and shooting me could not harm me. I ran outside to find a large car park with a single car parked and a group of people around it. I ran up to it, and I think it was a few friends and family telling me this was all a prank. I can’t pick out individual faces except my father. Come to think of it, the car may have been a hot dog van, which would fit in with the whole fast food theme of the dream. It was reasonably vivid, but nothing special. I’ll try again tonight.
