Hot Chocolate's Dream Journal

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at the station to catch a train. I was hanging on to the train on the outside by a vertical handrail when the train started moving. I held on while the train caught speed, I was a bit frightened I think. There was a conductor urging me to get inside. I tried but fell. In my fall I tried to kick me away from the train to not run over. When the train passed there was another train following directly after.

I found myself in densely forested area. There was a tall hedgerow on the other side of the rails. I wondered how to get out of the place. I came upon a road very quickly. There was a gray sedan parked, I think. In it was a girl with blond hair. I couldn't help but smile as I approached her.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to be at 2:45 AM.

I was in some sort of building. The interior looked liked that of a cargo ship. The doors for instance were those heave doors with rounded corners. There was some kind of activist group inside. I think they were fighting for womens rights. There were some women in the building as well. I had a submachine gun, but for some reason it didn't work. I still had some ammunition. I asked R. what ammunition he used, because maybe he could use mine, I didn't need my ammo anyway. At first he didn't respond, then he said he needed .44 ammo. I had 3006 I think. The shooting started. Someone on my side got shot next to me. I waited for a while to see if he could still fight, he couldn't and so I took his gun, a submachine gun as well. I moved away from some boxes and took cover beside a dooropening. It was dark in the other room. I could make out some two people standing there, but I didn't knew if they were friendly or not. I waited for a while, then I fired at the one on the left. He or she fell to the floor. The other one walked through the door. He was not on our side. He had white earbuds in his ears, he was glowing with a green light and he held both of his arms up in the air. Apparently this was a sign that he had a nuclear bomb. I shouted "run!" and started running. I ran past the boxes and out of the building.

I kept running through some streets. There was some brown goo on the ground. I jumped up a building. Apparently I was quite good at free running. There was someone behind me. I didn't know who it was, so I shouted K. at him. He didn't respond, but I knew he was friendly. I kept jumping over obstacles and rolled over the ground after big drops. After a while we were in some park. I was on a grassy field with a line of trees on both sides. I saw a car a little further. I figured we were going to drive together and I wanted him to drive, but then I saw a second car. We both got into a car and drove for a while. There was a third car behind us, it was hostile. I pulled over, and shot the driver of the vehicle. There came another enemy towards us on a big yellow plasticlooking motorcycle. I shot her as well. There were a bunch of weapons on the ground, presumably from my enemies. I saw a shotgun, m16, pistol and submachine gun among others. I couldn't carry everything, so I think I took the submachine and the m16.

I was still in the park. I was standing on top of slope and I could see quite far. I saw someone down the hill, it was an enemy. I aimed down the sight of my m16 and aimed for the head. He fell to the ground. Other people appeared down the hill and I kept sniping them. Sometimes I hit them, sometimes I missed. At some point I think a football team appeared. I shot them too. V., who was behind me apparently, asked my for something. I said something along the lines of: "not now, I'm bussy." When I was done I sat down beside her and R. There was quite a large group of people that I know there.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 2:00 AM.

I was riding my bicycle to school. I was in the countryside. The land was extremely flat and covered in green grass. There was a big dark cloud hanging above this. It was quite beautiful. There was a strong wind blowing from the southwest. I was going south, so I had to ride against the wind. I saw someone on a different intersecting with mine going west, he or she had also trouble with the wind. There were also people going in the opposite direction of me and so had the wind behind them. After a while I realised that I should've went right earlier. There was a village in front of me and another road to the right. I took that one. I saw someone else going to school as well. I got to a pretty complicated traffic situation. There was a truck to my left. There were a couple of traffic lights. Some were red, others orange. I crossed the street quite carelessly. When I continued I cam upon a bridge. It was quite steep, so I got off my bike and started walking. There were some other people riding bicycles riding past without getting off there bikes, which embarrassed me a little.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 2:45 AM.

I was walking through Paris. Actually it didn't even look remotely like Paris, but I thought that it was anyway. I was walking through a street up a hill. The street was paved with dark brown stones, there were houses on both sides of the road. I saw something like a church up the hill. While I was walking I had to song "Paris is burning" in my head. I arrived up the hill at some sort of party. I was early, but there were already some people. They were sitting outside with plastic seats and tables. At first I was going to sit beside S., but I decided to side beside P. I asked what his daily occupation was. He had something like a painting company. I was going to ask what he was going to study, but I didn't get around to it, maybe the dream ended.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed around 3:00 AM. I don't recall much, just an image really. I guess I should draw it, but I'm not that good at that, so I'll just describe it.

I was walking through a forest with my parents. It was quite dark. The trees were thick silhouettes. I couldn't make out any details. There was thick white fog hanging above the ground. Through the trees there was a road composed of loose stones. On one stone close to where I was standing was a marking looking like a rainbow, except without color. It marked the path to a temple. That was the way we were going, but I don't think we ever got there. Through the fog I could see something or someone. I could only make out a silhouette.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 3:00 AM

I was standing on a train platform waiting for a train. My mother was with me. After a while two trains arrived on each side of the platform simultaneously. I asked my mother which train we had to take, it was the one on the right. It wasn't a regular train. There was a one meter gap between the train and the platform. You had to get over this gap by holding onto a rail above you. The train itself was smaller than usual. There were no seats inside, instead you had to lie down. It seemed as if the train wasn't riding on rails beneath it, but it was suspended on a single rail above the train.

I'm not sure how I got from the previous part to the next, but I think it's the same dream.

I'm in a canoe on a small lake. My mother is in the same canoe. I don't have a paddle, I left it in the train I think. I use my hands instead. There were areas through which we went in which the water had a faster current, and there were some small waterfalls. These were made by sluices.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed around 3:00 AM

I was a Russian soldier fighting the Germans in the second world war. The battle occurred at my neighbors garage. I had the scoped Russian mosin nagant rifle. I took cover behind a corner and told my comrades to take cover and aim towards the exit of the garage. The exit is a large stretch of road on both sides walled of, so we had a good shot. There were no Germans coming though, instead a large truck stopped near us from which we had no cover. I decided to take the truck head on, and so I took out my submachine gun. I had some trouble with that at first. There was no-one in the truck itself, so that left the cart behind it. I dropped a sort of grenade in it. (Really it was a round magazine drum that shot bullets in all directions when it went off.)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 3:00 AM, I woke up at 10:45.

I was walking with B. I think on a sidewalk somewhere. We were walking towards a parking lot. He was talking about his two other brothers. One had a successful life, the other was too materialistic according to him. The term he used was "supercharged". We got into his a car, a big silver BMW. I had a backpack with me, so I took that off when I got into the car. After we had driven around for a while, we were going somewhere, maybe a concert, I opened and closed my window because the sun was annoying. It didn't help. At some point I think about reality checking and that I haven't done that the entire time, even though I was doing something I don't normally do. I was stupid enough to still not do a reality check, because I was fairly certain I was awake.

At some point we take an exit and make a sharp turn. Somehow I get out of the car because of this and we get separated. We can't get back together easily either, because, according to the new, the road was closed. Somehow we now both have a car, which is a problem, because I don't have my driver's license. After a while I wonder why he hasn't called me yet. I decide to call him instead, but I don't succeed, instead I see the music player on the screen of my phone.

I walk towards an isolated parking lot. There are two or three cars there. One of time is ours. Two men approach, one of them is wearing a green shirt. They are going to steel a car. At first I though they were going to steal our car, but instead they turn toward a black car parked beside it. As they approach the car, they drop a green floppy disk. I asked them about that, but they don't answer my question. The guy in green has a knife and a gun. I ask one more time about the disk, but the guy threatens my with the gun and knife, so I walk away.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 1:45 AM, the following are three dreams which are more interesting together than apart.

I was in D. riding my bike. After a while I went through a tunnel. I continued on foot. At some point I encounter a large group of flightless birds. I think it were turkeys.

In the course of the night I assume I have a dream in which I write down notes on the tunnel dream.

In another dream I'm a bit frustrated that I didn't write down any notes on my dream. Then I recall that I did in fact write down some notes. I wrote down my notes on DV, where I read them. (Normally I write down notes on paper.)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 1:00 AM, I woke up from the following dream at 9:00 AM

I was standing in the assembly hall of our school. I was holding a stand up comedy show. I had a sidekick, I think it was an animal, maybe an insect. He was making all the jokes, I didn't talk at all. After a while I looked at the clock twice. It changed when I looked away. It was an analog clock, not digital. I realized I was dreaming and did a nose pinch reality check to make sure. I could breathe. I thought about my goal to be more aware in my dream. I listened to the sounds and I felt the texture of a pole. I was more aware than during most of my lucid dreams, but not as aware as in waking life. There was a pile of coca cola bottles. I took one. Later I threw it away again when I saw a vending machine with ice tea. R. was standing by it. I pressed the rather large button a couple of times A 1 liter carton of non carbonated ice tea came out, I was hoping for the carbonated stuff, but I took it anyway. I went through a door and came in a store of sorts. I walked around a bit and I came to a department for sex toys. While I was there I wondered whether or not I should write this in my dream journal and publish it, well here it is. I continued through the store and entered a dark corridor. Deprived of any stimuli, the dream started to fade.

I managed to stay in the dream however by spinning. I was in a room with a bed. The dream wasn't very stable. The room changed from a realistic view to a computer animated view a couple of times. The dream was a bit more stable now and I looked at myself in the mirror. I saw a naked female. I'm male by the way. I exited the room and found myself in a corridor. I wanted to find my dreamguide. To my right I saw a open door leading to a stretch of grass. I went through the door, it was raining. I was still naked and I felt the rain on my body.

I wake up.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 2:00, again I slept in my brothers room.

Exams

I was standing outside the physics classroom of our school. W., a teacher, was standing inside. I entered. V., another teacher was sitting inside as well. She was sitting on the right side of the room behind a desk with exams on them. I took place on the left side of the room. There were other students in the room as well. We were given marks of test exams. J., a student, was given a minus 2,3 for mathematics bij T. (normally the scale goes from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest.) J. laughed about it. T., the math teacher, was stating how bad your math skill is, by giving an example of an assignment about a sign on a train platform.

Looking for a piece of paper

I was dreaming I was in my brothers room. I was looking for a piece of paper to write down my dreams on. (I took two pieces of paper with to write down some notes on my dreams in real life.) I couldn't find any empty ones, only pieces of paper that were already written on by my brother.

School party

I was standing at the school party I had two weeks ago in real life. I was thinking about getting a beer, but it was past midnight, so apparently that stopped serving alcohol passed that time. I considered getting a glass of water instead.
Later I was doing the dishes with some other people.

Dinner

I was standing on a square close to where I live. I wanted to leave, but I didn't know if I had to pay for the dinner I just had, or if the school payed for it. Some other people had already left, others were still with me. At some point I was asked by P. what I was doing. I told him why I was standing there. P. was a good friend of mine once, but we haven't talked or seen eachother in 5 years. I found it weird to just answer his question without greeting properly.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 2:00 AM. I slept in my brothers room instead of my own. My recall wasn't very good.

I was in a large not very well lit room. There were rows of seats, the rows increased in height. There was an iron cage over the entire thing. Angelina Merkel was speaking in front of the people seated. Balkenende, the Dutch prime minister, was seated on the top row to my left. I was sitting on some sort of box in the middle with some of my friends. To my back was a hallway. S., one of my friends, was sitting next to me and against me.
I left through the hallway. I was in a hotel looking for my room. The walls of the hotel were white, the floor was red. I had to go to the right floor, so I climbed some stairs. I entered my room which I shared with J. and some other people. I noticed that there was wine spilled on my bed. I think J. did it, I wanted to trade sheets with him, but he didn't comply.

A different dream:

I dreamed about my exams. Apparently there was one more subject, but I didn't know about it before so I didn't study it, which got me a bit worried. The subject was signal processing, normally it's a part of physics.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 3:00 AM, I haven't been able to recall an entire dream, just bits and pieces:

I've been playing a lot of Fallout 2 and 3 lately, I dreamt about that. It had something to do with water.

I was sitting in the living room, my cousin and her exboyfriend were over. It wasn't her exboyfriend yet or anymore. They were here for about an hour. At the end my other cousin and her boyfriend came over as well.

I dreamt about some guy in a mountainbike race. There was a newsreader reporting about him. Later the news continued about the US being at war with the taliban I think in Sudan. I thought about what would happen if the US were defeated by the taliban.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at 1:00, woke up at 9:45 to recall the following dream:

I was at a small castle which I and some other people had to defend. We were outside the castle grounds, which we couldn't enter because there was a wall around it. I looked at the towers with those weather vanes on top. They were pointing towards the enemy. Outside the wall of the castle were small buildings through which we walked. We sneaked up on the enemy. We were standing at a corner, with the enemy on the other side. We charged the group of about six soldiers. I went for the back of the group. It wasn't a battle to the death, more like a game. We had fake weapons. I hit some enemy and took some hits myself. After a while, when I had taken enough hits, I played death, because it was a game.

There's a gap in my memory here, I don't know how I got to the next part. Maybe it was a different dream altogether.

I had ice hockey training inside my living room, I never play ice hockey by the way. Apparently I was going to be the second best ice hockey player in the world, and this was some kind of flashback. There was ice on the floor. I had a hard time skating. My left knee was on the ice for a while, while I skated with my right foot. We were wearing orange-black ice hockey outfits. The training ended and I sat down on the couch. The coach tells me to take more hits, referring to the castle battle.

There's another memory gap here.

I was sitting behind my computer. I was starting up a game of the castle battle the beginning of the dream. I remember to write down notes from my dream. The game was in a menu, so I didn't have to pause it. I took a paper and a pencil from my desk and wrote down notes on my dream. I wrote about the orange-black ice hockey outfits. Despite the game being in a menu, it continues anyway. I saw some kind of scene from God of War. I wondered if my computer could run that game. Kratos was standing on a bridge, looking over some buildings. Somehow I thought that I drew the scene on my computer. I wondered how I could've drawn that so fast. This made me do a nose-pinch reality check. I could breath and became lucid.

I still wasn't convince however. I looked around the living room and kitchen, but I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. I did another nose-pinch and I could still breath. This made me more certain. I walked a bit around the living room thinking about my goals and what I should go do.

I edited this part out, to preserve my privacy. If you knew what it was about, you'd understand. I'll try to not do it too often.

Lucidity gradually slips. I go downstairs, through the front door. As I walk through the garden I come across a football team. I greet all the players, who greet back. I go to the left and to my left are a bunch of tuned cars, with their owners close by. I touched the spoiler of one car , the owner makes a comment on this, I apologize. I continue walking down the street. There's a motorcade going on. I had to avoid a bunch of cars coming at me. I moved a bit to the left. There's a big crowd. I move further down the road, which makes a turn to the right. There's lots of confetti and smoke. There's a commentator saying that V., a teacher from my school who past a way a year ago, got a bunch of confetti over him. There's a strong wind blowing. I use it to jump up a 2 meter high wall. I look over it. Then S. tosses me, which makes me go even higher. I come back to the ground after a little while.

I wake up.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to sleep at 0:35 and was woken up by my alarm at 7:00 to recall this dream:

I was controlling a small ship at sea at night. Beside my was another ship of the same kind. We both had some kind of energy canons. We had to protect a small ship that didn't have any weapons of its own. To the left and to the right of this ship was a battlecruiser. I sailed to the back of the fleet to protect the rear. We also had a submarine in the water, but the properly trained captain wasn't on duty. At the back of the fleet to the left was an enemy submarine. Only our submarine engaged it. It fired a torpedo, but it missed. After this the captain of our submarine had a conversation with a news presenter. He said something like: try to hit the submarine and don't get hit yourself. Somewhere at this point my perspective changes from my ship to the submarine. I was a lot more nervous on my ship, than now on the submarine. The enemy submarine is now only several meters below our sub. We fire another torpedo, but it misses again.
