non-lucid

I was lost in a big world. I ended up at some summer camp, and Adriana was with me. She said to me what she said last night. Then I left the camp to find my brother, who had gotten himself the must fucked up mercedes I'd ever seen, it looked like it had been left in a pit full of acid and human waste for 10 years. I told him he was so stupid for getting it and he said he'd fix it up... yeah right. He and devon started playing a game, and I joined them but they quit so I just woke up instead.

This was a long one, and it is broken into two parts: Pre-cavern and post-cavern. I'll get to it.

Pre-Cavern

I do not have a solid opening or closing for this part as it was basically a massive amount of dream fragments, but I know their nature and beauty. The dreams were about myself, the american, collaborating with the humble Japanese on the design of a brand new aircraft, back in the beginning days of flight. The dreams had this beautiful quality to them of collaboration, where I would get tired of working, and then a small burst of inspiration from the Japanese would drive me to forge on and build, and in doing so I would grow and become loved.

Then I woke up, after a final dream where I built the plane, and even after waking up I lay in bed to thank the Japanese engineers and say goodbye to them in my post-sleep daydream. They responded. It was nice.


The Cavern

I returned to sleep, and found myself in a very different situation. I am in a dark cavern. The walls are only a few meters apart, and about 10 feet up is a silver cable made of pure light that runs from one end of the cavern to the other, about 50 feet. At each end of the cavern, a small blue portal the size of a rabbit sits silently, and in the center of the cable are two mounts attached to it, objects with foot long strings of light dangling off them, with cherry sized baubles at the end. I touched the baubles and they get excited, moving the mounts across the cable as if in perfect frictionless suspension. I grab both baubles and swing them ahead of me, which causes the mounts to glide ahead. They move faster than my walking speed so I just watch. They get to the end, hit the little portal, and come out the one at the other side. This excites them a bit and they speed up. The one in front slows down a bit, and when the one behind it hits theres a 'crack!' and the front one shoots forward to the portal, comes out behind and shoots the other one. In a matter of seconds, both of the bauble strings are travelling across the cable at the speed of sound, blurring together and passing through the portals many times a second. I realize now this is a powerful source of magic, so I resign to study it carefully using the patience the Japanese have taught me.


Post Cavern

I wake up suddenly. I'm in a dark bedroom so I go to the window and open it. I'm at a mansion in the woods, similar to the T-House but much larger. There is snow everywhere, and my dad is in the courtyard. Suddenly my brother comes in.
"You're awake." I am confused. Of course I'm awake. He tells me I've been sleeping for three days. I tell him about the cavern but he is confused. Suddenly my family is gone. I hear people talking so I go down near the courtyard. Three powrful beings are having a conversation in a room I'm next to, talking about how they've all come back from collecting powerful sources of magic and await my return. They speak of the cavern, they know I was there. They are going to use the power of all these magic places to kill everyone. I hide under the stairs, fuck those folks there is no way I'm joining them. I concentrate my hardest and manage to turn into a small animal, though I can't remember which. A cat comes by, which I know is another one of the magicians in disguise, and I act as a regular pet and cuddle with the cat. It is weird to know I am cuddling up with a dark wizard but I have him fooled. Then, someone says they will go kill my family and I perk up, losing my cover. They laugh, it was a trick to get me to come out of wherever I was hiding, they could sense I was near.

I talk to them for a while about the cavern, and eventually we are all in a room. The wizards are two men following a woman, who is pure evil. The men just like power. At one point they transform into Sasuke and Rick, and at that moment I turn on them. I open a portal from the place of the baubles and they come flying out of it at light speed, since they've been gaining speed this whole time. It vaporizes the men, so open a back portal and slide the bauble mounts back onto the light beam and push them, closing the portals and allowing them to go gain speed in that nameless place for another time.

At then end of the dream Anna showed up. I wanted to do something, say something, but the words would not come out. Those actions are reserved for reality.

It begins in downtown san francisco. I was driving through the city in escape of my assailants, evil men from an unknown army. I found myself arriving at a Flea Market just outside the city, which is where this dream really takes place.

I got out of the car and immediately began hovering. This was one of those dreams, like so many from my past.

As I drifted through the market I checked out everything. There was food, pet rabbits and puppies, clothing, guns, lots of shit. I passed one girl who was quite beautiful but a bit too young, so I just made hard eye contact to throw her off then moved through the crowd, she went to follow me a bit to see if I was into her but I got distracted by the food. There was so much crispy chicken, but I looked away and when I turned back they were packing up, and I had no money anyway.

I wanted to know what was still available so I flew about 20 feet up and saw a section of the mens clothing shop that was uninhabited, as it went around a corner hidden by coats. I dove in and tried on some suits but they were extremely torn and ghetto so I went back out to the main market. There I saw a beautiful girl with a guy, but I just started talking to them both. She complimented me so I playfully hugged her and he was thrown off. Then I started flying around looking at stuff and they were flipping out asking how I did that. I said "I'll show you", put my arms around her and gently floated up. It was a beautiful moment. I stared into her eyes as I went to the ground and let her down, and then I waved goodbye to them and floated away to the woods. In the woods was a cliff, and at the top was massive old building built by the boy scouts in their early days, with a massive stone bridge connecting it across a ravine in the cliffs. There I found some friends, and we went exploring.

I was ambushed in the woods by the men I was fleeing in the beginning, and flew through the treetops to lose them. I could see them setting up snipers everywhere in the woods, guys with white helmets on. That was a dumb move as my friends and I corrdinated our rifles and sniped every white helmet in the head at the same moment. We went into the woods to grab all the rifles and burn their supplies. I went back to the market to find a place for the rifles. I put them down and saw the girl again, and I talked to her for a bit. There was a connection. Then I headed out to the woods to find more enemies. Instead I found the beginning of a massive forest fire I had caused by carelessly burning the supplies. It was going to take the forest and the boyscout mansion. I couldn't let it. And yet, suddenly Rob showed up and started talking to me about wing suiting, and I told him it was how I had gained my passion for flight and eventually my ability to fly at will. We relived old jumps off mountains and towers, and suddenly I snapped back to the present. I knew something had gone wrong while I was lost in my fantasies.

I went back to the market, and in there was a painting frame left by the girl. It was playing a video, an animated one that was about me. It was so colourful and beautiful and was saying how at first I appeared like this amazing person, a tall tower of a man, with a giant crown upon my roofed head. I was full of life and compassion, yet after the pretend and the ego had been stripped away by her, and my true colours were shown I was left as a small fool's tower, the height and brick stripped away. There was a crown on top of it still, yet no height to really see the world from, and no reason for the grandeur. She told me that I was not who I said I was, and that I was a little man with little problems, and she could not love me.

I think this is a beautiful message. To take off the crown and truly build the tower up, make myself a real substantial person and allow the praise to come.

I was living with some friends of mine after an apocalypse or something. Villains had taken over and we went into hiding in a commune of sorts.

I met a young boy who was in a school play. I gave him some advice on nervousness, and relived my days of school plays. After the play I went to a party store to get ready for the after party. The store was owned by that kid. I was telling my parents how much I respected him, but deep down I wanted a store of my own. Eventually the store was torn down and every item and shelf removed. I started talking to a cute girl working there and a moment happened that was identical to yesterday. I remembered the secret of eye contact and spent the entire conversation staring deeply into her left eye. It was very beautiful and so detailed, I could never reality check something like that.

But from now on I will. Whenever that moment happens in my life I will become hyper aware. At least I'll try.

Me Arshia and Simon went up north to some resort. It turned into a wilderness nightmare. We were hunted by a T-Rex out in the open, with 10 square miles of land to avoid it and sparse trees. After a narrow escape we returned to the resort only to find that it was as second rate as it gets. In the morning we were playing music when an old lady came down to tell us to quiet down and then she just decided to hang out with us, I guess she was lonely and lived here.

Then the strange bit happened. I took a shower. I found moisturizer in a cupboard that said on the label it had to be used in the shower. I didn't reality check because I could read it perfectly, and I'd already put some on my hand so I just got in the shower. The bathroom was tile and had a drain on the floor as well as in the shower, and this is when it got strange. I moved the water in a certain way that it all flooded into the bathroom itself, probably because I didn't pull the curtain closed. The water that got on the floor of the shower however started shimmering with an extreme quality to it, exactly like what the water does when the spirit of the forest arrives in Princess Mononoke. I watched itin fascination but DID NOT REALITY CHECK! So frustrating. Then I spent another 5 minutes studying the floor of the shower itself which was completely destroyed and made it feel like the floor of the building could collapse at any moment. The tile was smashed in chunks and had several drains installed in some makeshift way as if that was the proper way to solve the issue instead of just repairing the floor.

I woke up shortly after.

What a dream. Long, detailed, vivid, and fun. The best kind. It all begins with me, Simon, and Anna driving into the city in a car. We are downtown, and I realize that the building from my balloon boy dream is right next to us! I point it out to Anna with Simon's help, and then we drive by, off to some event. When we get there I lost interest quickly and went to find my car. I was going to take an uber, but when I checked the app I realized that my personal car had been parked and marked by uper. I get to it and lose my mind. It's a bright orange Honda S2000. I get in and rip it around hte neighborhood having way too much fun. I then get to the place I'm staying and go in. Inside is Steph and smoe friend of hers hooking up with some dude. I join in, but Steph tries to leave so her friend and I ditch her first. Then I woke up. I get back to sleep and I'm in a different part of town. I check uber and find my car has been moved again for some reason. I notice that every time my car is parked it is next to a supercar that is the same colour. I get in the S2000 and drive back home. There I find Anna and Simon chilling and Amanda with her boyfriend. Amanda is in a pink bikini and it's driving me mad. I head to the basement to collect my thoughts, and then I wake up again.

This time when I go back to sleep the dream is different. I am downtown on the sidewalk and I realize I'm in a video game. I am playing with Chris and Seth, and we see a group of Santas walking away from a plaza. I walk over there to find the source and see something amazing. It's an Easter egg, where Newman, Stu, and Santa Claus are having a conversation about the Jews. After watching them in awe we went around the corner and saw a group of kids. There were some babes and some people we knew, but over time more and more gangsters filled in the crowd and more good people left. I was leaning against a tree when a dude wearing a pretty cool camo jacket walked by and stared at me. I said nice jacket, and he laughed and I realized I was wearing a camo jacket too. He walked over to his ghetto friends. There was one dude in a white long sleeve that was trying to act hard and intimidate people so I just kept staring at him and he was pissed. I went to go talk to chris, but I slipped on an embankment knocked that dudes arm. It was the perfect excuse. He grabbed me and showed me to his friends. I was so pissed at him for being a shithole but I just walked away. Unfortunately I walked left around the corner and then decided to go the other way to find my car, and when I walked by again they saw I came back and I stared right at that guy with a "fuck you" face. Two of his goons started chasing me. I did some parkour and climbed a house onto a tall chainlink fence, and while balancing on top I started rapping about how these guys were trying to fight me when we should be friends. They got even more pissed, and then my alarm went off.

What a fun dream this was. Influenced definitely by watching Kiki's delivery service, I found my self next to a large skyscraper with a restaurant at the penthouse. Underneath me was a big red helium balloon, which I was laying on top of. This allowed me to lazily fly around the city, and I decided to flyby the restaurant. As I went by I approached the glass and started putting my fist against it so people inside would give me props through the glass. That was a great feeling, propsing people through a window 70 stories up.

Inside the restaurant were a bunch of classes from some super alternative school and I knew some of the kids but mostly not, so I just left and woke up.

Nothin

This is by far my favourite type of dream. It began with myself and a troupe of men returning from WWI (including tom), although I cannot remember the battlefield. Leaving our posts, we arrived back home at a camp on the top of a mountain. The place was not very large, about 50 feet across, and was beautifully round, with sparse trees for shade. The ground was covered in soft pine needles and the view down the mountain was outrageously beautiful.

What happened next though was amazing, and is the best part of my brain. I found videogames in one of the small round huts in the oasis. The first game I opened was completely from my imagination and it was simply beautiful. It took place in the same setting as my 'reality' yet was much more simplistic. The art style was lower poly than my own world and coloured in beautiful pastel. The game seemed to have no clear end goal although I knew a journey of epic proportions was ahead of me. I set out to find myself a group of companions. There seemed to be few that were intelligent, but I gained many mooks on my way who would defend me with swords and such. At one point I found two twin rabbit men, who had pistols. Yet as soon as we stopped to rest, a monolithic mother-beast made of vines and stone tore the mountain apart we were on and killed the rabbits, leaving me with nothing.

At this point I left the game and returned to the oasis. We encountered a bunch of new recruits who had stayed here while we were at war, and they were just leaving to go to WWII. I happily volunteered, just so they wouldn't bother trying to recruit me and would forget. They were mostly children, and were led by some very zen dude who reminded me of a kindergarten teacher in the way he spoke and moved.

Eventually I tried many times to re enter the game, but every time the monster would destroy my friends. I gave up. Then I awoke.

This was a night of vivid imagery. It all began with some massive scale contest between the north and south ends of a canyon. The people at either end were fed up with each other and began a war. I was fighting for them in some regard but soon lost interest. At night, I met Marina, although she seemed to have switched bodies from the neck down with Nicole. It was strange seeing her after so many years, we talked a bit but I soon left. At some point I woke up and went back to bed, this time dreaming of a different world. I realized that all night I would search for the blonde from my scripts in my dreams, and never find her. I would see her around a corner, never to catch her. Eventually I became a giant, like in Attack on Titan. I turned, and sprinted up into a massive castle, looking for something vital. I found instead a sleeping giant. I screamed, giving him a moment to react before completely destroying him. The templars came for me quickly, sensing I was in their 200 story cathedral. One woman was sympathetic to me, and I allowed her to watch me, before I jumped from a window and fell to the ground. I woke up.

In my final dream, I was in a strange small town. My brother and father had gone to this tiny area of it that was down a cliff. Usually there was a large wooden ramp taking people down but they destroyed it by joyriding it. I was so upset with them, but eventually found my way down in some sort of vehicle. Down there we saw something amazing. There was a fleet of jets flying by, and in there were some that had no tails, just glowing back ends. Suddenly the planes switched direction right at us, and among them were blimps, flying at the speed of sound. It was incredible to see something so large, so close, travelling so fast. I did not reality check on them though as I was too enthralled.

At the end of that dream tom came down to the pier. It was Canada day, and Harpers Birthday, and Toms. Tom and I were hanging when suddenly he was talking about his older brother. Obviously there isn't one but he started crying since his older brother was dead. I guess that represented his dad.

I stayed with him for a while, and then he went away. The last thing that happened was my watching my brother graduate. Why do I have so many dreams about graduation? I really thought I never cared about graduating anything, maybe this is because I wasn't there for my uni grad.

It was my birthday and there was a series of parties, ending with us going to see a movie. We were top row so I went down to the bottom where an old lady tried to kick me out of a seat just to have power over a stranger.

much transpired in this one. I was travelling the dream world meeting friends in various places, and I ended up in this resort of some sort with the dankertons. Me, Chris Geordie and Tyler were in one room, Arshia and Schwartz were somewhere else. There were beautiful girls around, and I was trying my best to get to know some of them. At one point a guy came by and we got in a brief rap battle and that seemed to impress them, but I knew I was about to share a room with 4 guys. Out of nowhere arshia comes and says that he and Schwartz are leaving early and their deluxe suite is open. Game on.

Sadly that dream ended quick due to noises in reality and I went back to sleep.

The next dream I was immediately flying through a canyon toward a massive landing area full of craft. I realized I was in a future where everything can fly - cars, boats, houses, you name it. Aurora and Kris were there talking about how to best choose a flying craft, and I hopped in a minivan and flew away. I landed at a house where Claire and some friends of hers were hanging out. Once I got here I sat at a table and started showing my beachman watch to Mustafah. I realized I'd shown it to him before, but he didn't remember as it had been in a dream. I thought that exact thought and did not reality check, oh well.

End of the dream I joined the actors in a scene that involved going in and out of that house, but not a single person had read the script beforehand and we had to guess what to do as to not piss off the director. That didn't work, so I just woke up instead.

I have forgotten most, but the end of this dream culminated in the execution of a long and impassioned speech by my mother, who was Hilary Clinton. She was asking people to donate to charity to help society flourish. At one point I came on an gave closing remarks as she had to leave for some reason and everyone was sitting there impatiently waiting for it to end. After that I went to the old cottage, where I kept fucking up the vehicles there, including my new mini. Dad was pretty upset, so I decided to float away across the road into the swamp. I went above the trees, but saw a house hidden among them. It was Julia's house. We hung out for a while with Tyler and Geordie there until she started talking to her boyfriend and I peaced out.

This dream really took after reality. It began with my family moving in to a new bungalow for my parents to retire into. The place was super nice, but there were so many glass walls they were even in the bathroom. I left my family to move in and hopped in the range rover. Drove across town until I realized my brother was graduating. I made it to the grad and saw all of my old class. Unlike previous graduation dreams, I came in there feeling very confident. I saw Dylan, and when he looked at me with nothingness I looked at my wrist, and viola, I was wearing the beachman. I should have reality checked here, as the watch was on the wrong wrist, but I ignored the fact so I could talk to him about it. We chatted about beachman for a while and he was very surprised. Eventually I left the conversation, and went into the unknown. There was a point when I had to fight against an ancient enemy of the school, some strange species that kept launching me high in the air, so I would use the fall to piledrive them or something.
