Hyu's Adventures

non dream - lucid - non lucid

This one was very vivid... and very "wtf?"

It's 5:30am, I really need to go to bed (I usually go to bed between 4 and 5am).
I'm not really tired though, so I decide to listen to some binaural beats while reading a few more pages of the book I'm currently reading. ("The Day Watch")
I listen to Infinite Bliss.
After about 10 pages I can barely concentrate on the book anymore, so I put it aside and randomly decide to WILD.
I know going to bed is a really bad time for it, but I just feel like it.

It doesn't take long for some signs of SP to set in. I focus on the tinnitus sound and try to use it as an anchor.
The sound quickly changes and I start hearing voices which turn into a female voice singing.
I don't usually experience this so I'm quite pleased.
The voice becomes deeper, and the overall ambiance becomes much darker. Hmm...?
Something doesn't feel quite right. I try not to think.

Music starts. An electric guitar, drums, metal. It's the intro for a song.
I know the song, but I'm still trying not to think.

"Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused"

The song becomes more powerful at this point, and very loud.
I can clearly feel the bass kicking into my stomach.
This startles me, and I open my eyes.

I'm on a big stage, with a big audience. I'm holding a guitar, my ibanez rg. I'm playing the lead guitar part.
I can't see the audience very well. I'm blinded by the stage lights.
I turn around to see the rest of "my band".
I'm quite surprised to find Chewbacca (Star Wars) on bass.
A very young girl (probably ~8) is playing the drums, and she plays am well and strong.
She looks like a super serious catholic school girl, it doesn't fit the song whatsoever.
I feel very weird.

"Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something"

Nevertheless I enjoy the dream. It's a nice feeling to feel every note I play on the guitar kick me in the stomach due to the strong speakers.
I close my eyes whilst playing this part, enjoying the overall sensation.
As I open my eyes again, I find myself in a mall.
How did I get here?
The music is still playing, I'm upside down on the ceiling of the mall still playing guitar.
I suddenly fall to the ground.

I close my eyes again, and I'm in the middle of the city.
It's full of people, I'm still playing guitar.
The people all look like zombies, their flesh is wounded and they try to eat me.
I can't stop playing. I blink my eyes again.

I'm in a broken down house. It smells really bad, it's all brown and grey.
There are little zombie children wearing wedding dresses. Their heads start turning around to the beat of the music.
I'm seriously confused now, and feel very weird.
I'm not scared, it's a dream, but I still feel somewhat uncomfortable.
I look at my hands to see how I'm playing the song.
I have eyes all over my arms...

"Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused"

The eyes explode and there are small insects flying out of them. WTF???
I close my eyes again, try to think of a more enjoyable scene, but I can't turn the music off.
I open them again and I'm back on stage. The stage lights flash into my eyes.
Every time they flash I'm teleported into a different scene.
My head starts to hurt, this is too much.
I want to end the dream, but I don't know how, the music just makes it so very vivid.

Knowing that this is all in my mind pisses me off, it basically feels like I'm annoying myself.
In my anger I grab onto the very fabric of the dream, and try to rip it apart.
Whilst I do this, I'm in the city scene again. Once I manage to rip it apart, the buildings around me collapse and
all the DC's fall to the ground dead.

Eat this!

The dream fades to black, I wake up.

The song was: Marilyn Manson - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
I don't really listen to Marilyn Manson... weird, however that music video feels as messed up as the dream.
I've seen it before, I must have remembered it in my dream.
