Notes: Multiple dreams, escaping lava, psychopath killing friends, semi-lucid battle. Dreamed I psychically projected myself to explore HEB, and then it discussed with the IOSDP members. Brody story references

Lava and Death!
I'm standing outside in the back of my apartment building (I dont actually live here) and I'm horrified because the front of the building is surrounded by lava. Dream friends are outside with me and they seem to feel that I am the one in imminent danger, which is weird because this lava should effect everyone.

Near where I am standing a drainage ditch glows hot orange, its lava slowly coming my way. My friends tell me that I need to quickly get in the car and save myself. How? There is no where to go, the lava is surrounding us. We instead try to escape on foot, climbing over weird abstract dream constructions and through them. Strangely, theres no more lava in sight but we still feel our lives are in mortal danger.

The number of my friends grows thin, people are dying but I don't know how. There's just few of us now. We can't move ahead because of some electrical problem. One of the boys splits off from our group and vows to personally fix the problem even if it costs him his life. For whatever reason it requires him to inside a faraday cage?

We don't see him again. Finally we reach a new area of town and were safe. But what about my friend who went into the faraday cage? A psychotic manish looking woman finds us, she says that he's dead. How can you be so sure? He should have been safe inside his faraday cage. What she says next disturbs me.

"I'm pretty sure he's dead. When he saw me he called me by some other name, Pete? Then I was angry that he thought I was a man. That's right. He is dead. Because I killed him"

I knew by the look in her eyes that she was being serious, she murdered him! And all of my closest friends are dead!

The dream scene transitions, now we are battling enemies at this apartment complex, which is in the middle of no where. (Brody story element?) My enemy was outside a window. With my chameleon skin I camaflouge to the wall and get between them and the building. I push them off and grab their weapons. I take their weapons far away into the open field.

Psychically Scouting HEB (OBE dream?)
I'm in bad thinking about grabbing a snack from HEB, but I don't wanna get out of bed or drive anywhere! I know, I decide to send a psychic projection to HEB and grab myself a snack that way. I lay down to sleep, within the dream, and off I fly out of my body!

I soar through the night and over the houses. I'm flying fairly efficient and fast, and I feel like my body is like Mewtwo (another Brody reference). I embrace my Mewtwo body and fly even faster to the ugly HEB building just up ahead. Like in real life, the supermarket is along the highway.

Inside HEB I continue to fly and zip around, as 100's of people just go about their business with grocery shopping. I tell myself that logically I must be invisible and they can't see me - (usually though DCs can always see me). I try to fly even higher, noting that the cieling is very high. Flying above the ailes, I then swoop down and grab random snacks.

Job done, I simply poof back to my sleeping body. Except now the stolen snacks are in my head. I'm super excited this actually worked, completely oblivious that I'm still dreaming! I get up and post about my HEB OBE exploration to the IOSDP gang.

Suddenly, the whole IOSDP group should manifested in front of me. They were standing in a circle and they were in the middle of a conversation. I missed the beginning of the conversation so I was a bit lost. Some people were upset. Others were discussing new ways to get to Ardem Glade and others were trying to set a specific date for a sincere SD attempt.

I woke up after

Notes: dream starts off non lucid with parasitic monsters, afterwards I meet Dexter. Later, school nightmare

Dexter: young skinny black male, with a giant fro, dressed like a nerd

Parasitic Monsters
Im inside a large building with multiple floors. On the first floor, there was a slaughter taking place. There were these parasitic alien monster creatures. I don't remember what they look like, only that once they take a host body the host only has moments before they horrifically die. Soldiers were trying to contain the situation, but all I remember were panicked shouts and gunfire.

Me and a few others try to escape the battlefield by going to one of the upper floors. We were in the upper floors for awhile when we noticed it was quiet again outside. Is the battle over? We go back to the first floor. There was only one parasite left. Right before our eyes, it takes the form of a young blonde woman.

She acts like she has no idea that she's actually a parasite alien in human form. She tries to talk friendly with us and just wants to know where she is. We sorta run from her! Not understanding, she runs with us. We try to act coy around her, see if we can get away without her realizing what were doing.

We all sneak into an elevator and watch the doors close with her on the otherside. She quickly wedges her hands between the door and enters the elevator. Her expression is cross! Some of us step outside the elevator, still trying to act coy. But then they decide thats too obvious and step back in. The scene was dumb and just seems to go back and forth.

First we go up to the top most floor, but realizing we can't do anything up here we quickly change plans and go back down to the first floor. The parasite girl is still with us and I feel she's starting to figure it out.

As soon as the elevator doors open on the first floor I bolt! Im racing towards the windows. The building was wierd here! The wall was glass, so I can see the happy green courtyard on the other side. Beneath the glass was a strip of stone wall, it had cut out shapes that acted like windows. I jump through the cut out shape into the courtyard. I drop my heavy backpack on the ground and run past some soldiers standing guard. I decide I'm thirsty, so I go back to my backpack for a quick sip of water.

The parasite girl is exiting the building with everyone else! I run past the guards and start to fly away, flying over the stone walls and a canopy.

Dexter
Once I flew above the canopy, the dream scene changed. As I was flying low to the ground, I noticed a young man also flying. He turns to face me and I somehow recognize him. He's a young black man, skinny with a huge fro. He seems to recognize me too. Seeing him makes me lucid.

I have a false memory of meeting him with a group of other dreamers, he introduced himself as "Dexter!"

"That's right, I told everyone my name but no one told me theirs"

"I'm Cindy"

I'm convinced Dexter is another dreamer, so I follow him around and harass him. "What's your last name?"

But he says something paranoid about giving out personal information. So instead of his last name, he gives me a bunch of numbers. We walk into a closet? He gets out a piece of paper and writes out the numbers. His facebook account number? And a password? I was able to remember the numbers.......for a moment.

When we walk out the closet were in some place that looks like an antique shop, but then I realize its all nerd merchandise. Dexter himself looks like the biggest nerd of all. He asks me if I like one of my pokemons. I tell him I barely play the game!

I think about inviting him to my local anime chapter, but then I get the impression that he lives in some other state.

Dexter seemed busy, that or he was trying to ignore me by looking at all the items. He walks out into a garden and pays attention to all of its details. But I'm still harassing him. "I can't remember those numbers. It doesn't even make sense to give me numbers, you should know most people can't remember numbers like that."

He turns around and smiles and says "Water boy. Dexter Water Boy" I assumed that was a nick name having something to do with avatar. He laughs and begins to tell me a story "About numbers, there was this one time I was trying to acquire information in a dream, like espionage........"

But I drifted awake right then. I woke up just a few minutes before my intended alarm for WBTB. I was awake for a good while after, probably too long. Id given up on doing a WILD and just passed out instead.

School Nightmare X1000
I wake up into a false awakening, where I get up and get ready. I'm late for my college classes! Except, I can't remember what classes I'm taking, what's the class room, or what time! How many weeks has school been in session? How many weeks have I missed? Am I failing? I don't remember doing my homework or projects.

Mom asks me if I'm almost ready to go, "another minute!" I'm trying to figure out how the hell I can log into the school website and figure out what I'm supposed to do. But I dont remember my password!

Should I just go to school and see if I can just figure it out?

Then a thought forms in my head and slowly surfaces "The reason I can't remember my classes is.......I'm not enrolled this semester. I don't have classes. Of course I don't have classes, I'm a graduate!"

then I wake up for real this time

Dream Signs Update

Based on the past few nights and many random dreams I was too lazy to write, my dream signs deal mostly with FORM and CONTEXT involving the home.

1. The apartment is an older apartment I haven't lived in for years: context

2. My bedroom is the wrong bedroom I haven't had for years: context

3. I'm living with the whole family, when I'm not: context

4. Theres a hill where there shouldn't be a hill: context

5. Driving to dallas only took an instant, wow!: context

6. I don't remember ever parking my car, where did it go?: context

7. I'm in a class I shouldn't be in: context

8. The highway never makes any sense : setting form

9. Im upset my sisters are deciding the arrangement of my room: emotions

10. bathrooms are as weird and as scary as ever: setting form

So, lots of context dream signs! Not easy! But most of it has to do with the home. So that's what I'll focus on the most for the next week or so.

Reality Check Everytime:

1. I come into contact with family: Are they supposed to be living here? Am I supposed to be sharing a room with them?

2. Everytime I'm in my room: Is this my room? Is my bed where its supposed to be? How many beds are here?

3. Everytime I'm in the living room: Is this my living room? Is the front door where it should be, by the kitchen? Is the porch where it should be? Does the porch have a screen door or a regular door?

4. Everytime I'm in the kitchen: Is the kitchen where its supposed to be? Does it have one entrance or two? Whos in the kitchen and why?

5. Everytime I'm going somewhere: Do I even know where I'm going? Why am I going there? Does the going there make sense?

6. Everytime Im in the bathroom: Do the bathroom appliances make sense? Is the toilet scary?

and something like that

I'm sleepy and too lazy to write out my latest dreams in detail, so I'm just going to quickly jot them down here so I remember to write them in detail tomorrow

Dream 1: (Halloween night) Told my friend I want a new job. Frustrating work dream. Man captured and taken to the back room. Forced to tell his story or else. Witch posses his wife, and now he has lightning in the back of his throat. Witch comes, I run. And parkour on the roof. Lucid, we escape to the forest.

Dream 2: Me and the Lost crew are in a mansion. Widmore attacks from above, the island is shaking, were hiding in an elevator. We escape, yay tacos!

Dream 3: Lucid. Parkour on the tree with friends. Friend is stuck in a wheelchair so I try to help him fly, but he's too heavy.

Dream 4: Work dream, lady wants wedding clothes and lots of gold paint? Old apartment. Night time stroll. Later. Sis, mom and me look at the stars. Climb roof for better view. Amazing sky!

Dream 5: Hans is secretly married and hiding in his bedroom. Later, Liz goes out for food, at 12am. We wait for her by watching movies, but we fall asleep. See my sister in the morning and I ask her what took her so long. But then I realize the being in front of me isn't my sister because she would never do that and this is kinda freaky.

Dang! I'm a missing a day!
