Dream 114: A Totally Unassuming Cult

I seem to be a spectator to the dream. I am able to feel and move my dream body while the whole of my field of view is dominated by the dream.

The dream starts out in medias res; A twenty-year- old or so girl is seeking admission into a vaguely Christian cult, and is being interviewed by two recruiters, one an old man, and one around her age. At some point, she catches onto the fact that the people running the operation are a bunch of nutjobs and that their adherents are similarly sinister. She starts to back away from the conversation, but as she does so, two kids in a little play area start pointing and yelling at her. They say something along the lines of "Witch!" and "Heretic!"

She backs away even further, and bumps up against a waist-high bookshelf. At this point, the recruiters make no compunctions about harming her.

I (As the spectator) notice a ceramic globe on top of one of the bookshelves. I yell at the girl, "The atlas! Throw the atlas at them!" I mistakenly called the globe an "atlas!" She then chucks the globe at the old guy and he goes down like a ton of bricks. Now it's just her and the younger man. They stare down each other fiercely, and I am on the edge of my seat.

This goes on for a minute, and I got bored. I draw my attention away from the dream for a second, and then...

A newspaper clipping shows up, talking about how this same girl somehow joined the psycho cult anyway. I am flabbergasted, and I yell at the dream some more.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

Yesterday I read StaySharp's post, "The Dream Recall Compendium", and decided to try to wake up naturally after each dream with the mantra "I wake up after each dream and remember it". I am amazed by my brain and how it works because this mantra made me wake up two times tonight. I usually never remember that I wake up in the night. I went asleep 22:00 yesterday and already 23:40 I wake up with a full dream I remember! I also used his technique, "tag-book", in order to write down a key piece of the dream when I wake up so that I can remember it in the morning. I wake up 06:15 naturally which is amazing for me.

I am in an ice landscape. I have a companion. We are being bombed at. The ice melts by the bombs and we sunk into the water . We are being driven by the strong stream next to an island. My companion is emotional and talks about how he doesn't want to die. I don't remember more.

Me and my family attend a celebration party in a big black castle. I don't remember the party that much but later on I become a vampire and don't do much with the power I am given. I walk up the stairs and apparently a friend of mine, Rebecca, is killed by a vampire in a room higher up in the castle. Everyone is shocked. I walk down and meet up with my family. I say to my mother that I am a vampire and she gives me the blame for the murder. I say it wasn't me and I am seriously sad that she doesn't believe me. As we walk out of the castle a suspicious man in a black coat and vampire looking face walks by over the street and I blame him aloud, almost screaming that he killed Rebecca, he just keeps on walking with a mysterious smile. My mother doesn't believe me and as she do I run away very upset. I see a motorbike and I ride it, trying to escape my family. There are two children biking by a small grass field by Klockstapeln. I motorbike around them and almost hit one of them. I keep on biking down the steep slope by Hemköp but I suddenly ride a normal bicycle. The slope gives me an enormous amount of speed and I drive past the cars in front of me. I become aware that I would probably die if I crash so I start to break by putting my feet hard to the ground. I do a weird turn that would not work IRL down to my street. I am trying to escape my family but for some reason I bike home. I see my house and I decide to keep on biking to the water. I ride the bike without effort and come to the waters. I realize that it is school tomorrow and that I can't escape forever.

Possible recurring elements: War, ice, parties, escape, blame, fast rides/motorbikes.

Notes: I had a dream some months ago that had a landscape like in the ice dream. I also fell into the water in that dream. The party in the castle was for a very long time but I don't recall much. The feeling when my mom didn't believe me was really heartbreaking. She is always supportive and wouldn't do that in normal cases. Some weeks ago I had a dream where it was a police hunt after me. I rode a motorbike really fast, much like in this dream. Maybe the motorbike is a symbol of escape because in both dreams I escaped something with the motorbike. The bike ride felt like an eternity and the feeling of hopelessness was strong. I read some time ago that the emotion centrum in the brain is not restrained during sleep and that feeling of hopelessness I felt is a personal proof of that. Hopefully I can use those strong dream feelings to be happy in another dream.

I was across the street from my apartment at a bike shop, was going in and out of the store.

Woke up extremely tired, laid flat on my back and could feel myself going back into a dream state. My body got very stiff and it felt like I was high all over my body, the lower left part of my back started to cramp up a little bit. My body was floating upwards, it was very difficult to breath but I was breathing out of my mouth. I kept thinking I was going to be dreaming and I flew into a dream. The dream scene was over a lake with trees lining both sides and a city in the distance, the main colors were purple and orange, it felt like it was dusk. Everything was very vivid as I was flying over the lake but my vision started spinning, it would spin quickly to one side and then shift directions to the next. I tried to get a hold of the dream by clasping my hands together and rubbing them but the dream collapsed. It reopened into a zany cartoon view, the colors were mainly bright yellow and red, there was a cartoon character walking exaggerated across my view.

So I was in the house then I went outside. I went into my camper and it had become a food truck. But it was still the same people were serving others and I would wach threw the crack in the window like i was flying around in the camper and interacting from inside like using a meck without arms. My sister was coming home from the swam where she lived it was realy bad for her worse than she let on. I had come to my parents house for the weekend and so had she and we went camping hunting and stuff well dad hunted and I was just dropping in and he would talk about his meat. I am a vegetarian and my sister is somewhat as well.

Jamie dreams

First one is I get a long email or message from jamie.

Second dream is we are together overlooking a city on a porch. She is dressed fancy. I am holding her from behind. the feelings seem good.

Mall

Dream of going to a mall or something with my family. We go to a strange food court. One of the restaurants is vegetarian but you get fed based on your astrological sign. Doesn't interest me so i wind up in a chocolate shop or something. I'm craving hamburgers and stuff like that so I leave. I find no other restaurant. I walk with my family down an escalator and I wake up then.

The one end of the piano fell off the stand. and the pet fell down and hit something on it's snout. it was bleeding. I didn't know what to do.
