International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal

Oneironautic's Dream

I was in a giant arena with loads of sea animals in swimming pools. All around people were looking at the animals, who were in very tiny spaces. I thought to myself, this is really cruel, too evil to be real. Then I realised that it was and I was dreaming...I looked around and attempted to stabalise the dream. I felt one of the bannisters and looked around. For some reason I was wearing glasses, and though I could see fairly clearly through them the space around the outside was all blurred. I didn't want to take them off incase I lost the dream. I was still stabalising myself when I felt an odd sensation on my leg- A crazy guy had bit me! This was really unexpected, and I was unsure what to do. I wanted to help the animals, but the crazy guy was getting in my way. I wanted to get rid of him so I clapped my hands and made his head explode, which was maybe a tad harsh, but I wanted to save the animals. Everyone else started t scream and run away, and I walked over to a balcony, where I could see the fish miles below. As I was figuring out how to save them the dream faded.
Although I didn't do any of my dream tasks, this was still the clearest, longest most lifelike lucid I have had

Animusmessor179's Dream

1) I go to a friend’s house for a get together of a sort. I think a camping trip or some other outdoorsy thing… The first floor is partially open, with one wall out into the yard in front of me. Grass. I see a number of my friends, as well as Colin, a coworker. I didn’t know he knew my circle of friends… He’s wearing a head wrap for some reason, and someone has on a snorkel and mask. I become LUCID, and fly out and up to the second floor.

2) On the IOSDP thread, someone posts up points for most of the users. Man of Shred comments that I’ve been forgotten.

3) I’m playing Team Fortress 2, as an engineer. A heavy pins me down with fire but leaves, and I rush to a building outside the enemy spawn. I place a sentry hiding around the corner on a flight of stairs (it’s too short to fire through the open air window above it though). I use my shotgun and a boomerang (fired with the mouse wheel) to kill two or three enemies as they leave spawn. I feel somewhat bad for this, as the boomerang is an autohit and follows them in to kill them… The kill icons appear in the top left of the screen. The dream shifts. Same place, but I’m talking to a Jesus looking figure. He makes a comment as to my hair style. I “know” he’s the third oldest being in existence, and I begin to ponder how the more advanced beings create the lower races. I think what humanity will give to the world, who will be our children. Shifts again. I am Kratos, and another god with a glowing full face helmet is fighting me. The Jesus figure asks me a question that I don’t recall. I reply, “I’ll burn the world.” He grabs me, and I glow with a golden light. The helmet god swings his sword at my chest, but the glow stops it.
Helmet Guy. Ish...

4) LUCID. Grab a DC and ask if I can please kiss them. She smiles. I kiss her.
(To explain, part of the reason for this is that my DCs and I have had… disagreements in the past. Twice in my life, once recently, they’ve outright told me that they won’t tolerate how I treat them. These past few weeks I’ve been working on this. Now, I’m a very respectful and kind person in waking life, but I’m aware that I’m dreaming in most of my dreams. Or at the least, that I’m not me. And since the DCs are part of me, I felt alright treating them poorly. But they deserve as much respect as the rest of my mind. So, I’m taking this as a good sign.)

5) Adrian Monk is married to a woman with a degenerative disease. She smokes, and is currently nihilistic. At a dinner of some sort, she overhears a woman talking of her research into the secret of life. The scene changes to an outdoor setting. A creature that looks like it’s been literally stitched together (yellow, collar-like neckflap, short claw legs, goblin-like face with a beak). –Shift- There are three of these creatures , a Kabutops (pokemon) looking quadruped with two legs ripped off (my assumption was the fossil was incomplete), and various other things. I am inside the enclosure with them, climb to the top of a metal frame tower, and jump over the fence. The creatures break out and start chasing me and other scientists to a walled city. –Shift- The creatures are now little children, still chasing me. Candy is strewn on the way to the city, and I try to throw it to distract the kids. They don’t go for it, and one catches me.

6) LUCID. On a highway. Trying to change the dream to the Chichen Itza pyramid. Talking to the dream to get this to happen, but nothing changes. I start flying.
-Skip-
In space. Observer perspective (I don’t have a body). I am going in space to pick up a future ally and teammate of mine. He and another person are on a planet infested with zombies. They have chain saws and scythes, but the other guy gets pulled down and killed.

MatrixMaster92's Dream

Some friends and I were at a kind of public event like a fair or something. We had guns for some reason. I was in the passenger seat of a green truck trying to snipe some hidden snipers through the windshield of the truck. I didn't want to kill them so I thought I would just shoot their sniper scope to scare them off. Then a official guy (or maybe a cop) came up to the car and asked me to hand over the gun (that had now become a shotgun). He got in a started driving the green truck down the highway (called US1 in real life). I told him me and my friends were confused about having guns near the public event. I told him we were dove hunting and there were no clearly defined rules or boundries set around the public event.

Right then I realized how strange all this was and became lucid. I told the cop,
"You know something strange?"
"What?"
"This is a dream!"
He then started acting strange saying "Nooooo, noooo" and laughing. He seemed not to believe me. So I demonstrated to him that I could push my hand through the console of the truck. He was impressed and seemed to submit to my announcement. I told him that usually I would take off flying and doing what goals I could remember but I told him that he seemed like an interesting person and I wanted to talk to him some more. I noticed that he had dark brown eyes and for the first time I could clearly see the jagged, star shape pattern in the iris of his eye (never seen that in a DC before). I asked him what he represented and he replied "authority". Then he added power as well. I suppose that is rational for a cop dream figure. Then I took the wheel and tried to get off the highway and go really fast in the truck but the gas pedal wasn't working properly and I couldn't do much of anything. Then it faded out.

Korley's Attempt

1) Not much to say on this one but I was on a bus, going quite fast around some cream coloured gravel. I don't know who else was on the bus or who was driving. There was more but I don't remember it.

2) (Not sure how valid this is because my lucidity really wasn't clear and i'm not sure it was the actual Pyramid, but i'll give you it anyway.)

Awake Non-lucid Semi-lucid

I get up for a WBTB after 5 hours (about 6am), and stay up for about 10 minutes. I focus on the Pyramid and repeat to myself "When I dream I recognise I am dreaming." Then I go back to bed and keep repeating this.

I wake up in my bed. I try to remember any dreams but no, nothing. I sit up, angry at myself for not managing to MILD. I stare at my clock across the room, which is oddly in the wrong place. I frown, it's shining right across the room, how annoying. Looking down, I notice some bugs crawling along my bed. For a moment i'm scared, until with a click I realise i'm dreaming. My MILD worked after all.

I get up, painfully slowly. I'm finding it very hard to move and i'm scared of losing the dream at any moment because the quality is so poor. I feel all foggy. I make my way over to the wall and run my hands down it, smelling it, occasionally licking it to try and stabilize the dream. After a little while I head out into the hall.

My dog comes running out, and i'm about to go see her when I think; "that's not actually her, and don't I have to be somewhere.. the Pyramid!"

I make my way over to the closest door, and picture the Pyramid in my mind. I open the door, but find it leads into my brother's room like normal. Frustrated, I close the door and try again. This time I step through the see the Pyramid, blue sky and green grass.

I tower over the Pyramid. I see little dots down below, which i'm hoping to be people from DV. I take a step and the ground rumbles. People scream and jump away. I will myself to shrink down to normal size and after a little while I do.

There's quite a few people, wandering around talking. I'm suspicious that they're just DC's. I go to the closest person (don't really remember what they looked like) and ask them if they're a DC. The person smiles and says something I don't hear, so i'm guessing that they're not a DC. I grin and glance around. I see someone with tanned skin, light brown hair and kind of greyish eyes, wearing a grey t-shirt, but that's all I remember. (Sound like anyone?)

I lose my lucidity and find myself in a house with some of the other members. Someone walks through white glass doors into the living room and I tell them about my frustrations with the door. He nods and says that that happens to him to, but i'll get it eventually.

3) Then I had a very short dream that my friend's boyfriend was calling her names and I sat outside with him and talked it over. There were also two ginger people on the t.v with mustaches. Then I had a random chat with a friend about orgies. It was weird.

I don't know if I just dreamed of the Pyramid (if you get me) or if it actually was a shared dream, but if anyone remembers a giant girl hovering over them and then shrinking down, maybe looking around confused, then that would be me I don't remember any crazy shit happening like demons or anything. I know what Nomad's like.. haha.

Katsuno's Dream

I slept at my friend's house so I couldn't write my dreams down but I try to remember as much as possible. For the parts where I forgot everything I just write some key words that had something to do with the dream:

I was in some kind of alien train (This dream is much about aliens because me and my friends watched a movie about them^^) with some other people. I know that I had a mission but I can't remember what it was about. The dream was alot about fighting and infiltrating the train as far as I remember. The next part is very foggy so I just write the key words: Computer Interface, Cotton (Yeah, really, cotton...When I think about the missing part I get a picture of cotton in my mind :O), Weapons
Then I remember talking to a alien women/men about something and I walked through the train afterwards. After that the dream scene switches.

The scene was now a basement. It was dark and huge and a friend of mine was with me. I got scared because as a little child I was always scared of basements. I remember running to the stairs to get away but I slipped and fell down. My heart began beating so fast and I woke up sweating. Nightmare I guess...

Well tonight I'll sleep in my bed again and I have my DJ there to remember everything.

MrIrony's dream

I got the PM while I was sleeping, so I didn't know we were trying last night. Oh well.

It's Legend of Zelda again. Twilight princess to be exact.

I'm fighting monsters in the 48th floor of the cave of ordeals. There are some ghost rats, four things made of ice that hold spears and four ice-breathing ice sculptures.
I kill the rats and ice men as a wolf and transform back to human. I try to kill the ice sculpture things with the ball and chain, but they start to move. I get frozen, break free and go near a wall. Then I manage to break the sculptures. They break into small blocks of ice. (Which are enemies too.) I start to smash them with an iron mace. Out of nowhere three of my classmates come there too. (I remember that at this part I had a scythe and one of them didn't like it and told me to get rid of it all the time.) I think that we're playing some multiplayer version of this game. I smash all the enemies and start to gather some stuff they left behind. My classmates are in a elevator that takes us into the next level and tell me to hurry up. I gather some blue and red potions from the floor. I ask if they want any, but they say they're fine with the ones they have. I tell them that this next floor is the last one with enemies. They tell me not to spoil it. I go to the elevator and draw my scythe. The one who hated it grabs it and throws it into the chamber we just left. I draw my sword instead. I tell them that the next floor contains four darknuts. One for each of us. Should be easy enough.

Then I tell them how to defeat them easily. (A.K.A do a jump strike and then roll behind them and attack.) Then the elevator stops. We step out and see some arena there. We're standing on a platform surrounding the arena. There's some king and his guards there. He looks at us and mutters something like "Could it be him?" to his servant. Then the darknuts are released to the arena. We run there, me being last one, and attack. But then I see these darknuts don't wear armor, except for their helmets. They just wear some old rags around them. I try to execute my plan of jumping and rolling, but it seems that we are not playing a game, but instead "really" are there. So I fail. The darknut I'm fighting swings its sword at me. I can't remember if it hit me or not. Then I stab my sword through it's chest. I pull it out, but the darknut just keeps going. I stab a little more. Still going. I can't remember how this battle exactly went, but at one point I hang from the back of a darknut while it's running around the arena and stab it's back, managing to kill it. And at another point one of them tries to stab me, but I grab its sword by the blade (It's completely rusted, so it's easy.) and stab it with it. And at one point one of them tries to cut my throat, but I manage to hold the sword back and then ask for a little help from my classmate next to me. He does nothing. But I guess I manage to get out of that situation. I know I didn't die. And that's pretty much all I remember.
