    1. Dream - Everything Except My Request & The Croatian Tongue (+Side Note)

      Dream No. 410 - Separated Sections

      Dream 410 A - Everything Except My Request (Lucid Dream 25)
      I can’t remember how the dream started. From where I can remember, I was in some unknown building and the corridors had lifts everywhere, ultimately freaking me out. I said to myself, “I’m not going in any of them without 18-Volt”. I then picked up my pace and tried to walk the heck out of that building. I noticed that the scene was fading on me and changing into a new scene.

      For the second scene, I was in my brother’s room, just casually walking around when I suddenly got the intuition to look at my hands. When I looked down at my hands, I only had five fingers but they were clutched around a pen… The hand looked no different to real life but I ended up reciting the automatic response of “I am dreaming”. I then decided to do some more reality checks to make sure that I was actually lucid.

      I decided to approach the kitchenette area where there was not one, not two, but multiple mirrors on the wall in this dream. On second thought though, I actually did want to go and look into the mirrors as I was worried about what I would look like and thought that the dream was going to make me look scary. Instead, I decided that I would count my toes, so I walked over to the couch and put my foot on there, counting six toes!

      Once I knew I was lucid, the intention hit me and I started diligently calling for 18-Volt but the dream was not going to co-operate for him either. I was calling “18-Volt!” like a broken record while now walking around the entire house on a hunt. At first, there was nothing but because I was lucid, I did not give up. Eventually, something did appear but the dream was only trying to give me some green coloured animal, I forgot which animal it was though.

      I shook my head in disbelief and sighed “no...” to the dream and so then the holographic animal disappeared and I continued on with “18 Volt!”, now heading out through the laundry and into the backyard. Half way down the slope of the backyard, the dream decides to try something else on me… My dad starts fading into the scene and again, this time I yell, “no!”, then muttering to myself “Oh my god, you give me everything but 18-Volt”.

      Then I went into the garage and out the front door, completing the loop of the house after calling for 18-Volt about 100+ times. When I was walking out of the front driveway, I finally noticed 18-Volt holographically appearing lower down in the court but as that was happening, I was waking up… I wasn’t happy about it but my ability to talk in the dream was now ceased.

      Dream 410 B - The Croatian Tongue
      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I can remember, I was standing just outside the back door to my house, on the skinny concrete strip, talking to 18-Volt; I was facing towards the house, he was facing towards the lawn. Without thinking, I ended up for the first time in a dream, saying something in Croatian, I have forgotten what I said though. Looking absolutely confused and baffled, he then asked me what the heck I was going on about. He said something along the lines of “What kind of gibberish is that?”.

      Before I had time to think of a reply, and to my surprise, Dreamy WB appeared in her dark-rust coloured hair, year 12 hoodie and black leggings and shoes, floating beside 18-Volt and she told him while pointing to me that I was not speaking gibberish, but rather “In the Croatian language”. 18-Volt then looks and goes to Dreamy WB, “She’s Croatian?”. And when Dreamy WB nodded in confirmation, 18-Volt grew this look of sheer amazement on his face, then looking to me and saying “No way!”. As this was happening, the dream was fading out and I woke up.

      At the start of the night, I actually had an endless stream of nightmares; the only thing is that I can't recall any of the details. Due to this endless stream of nightmares, I woke up at 5:00 AM and didn't fall asleep until 7:00 AM; this was after I came back from the bathroom, looked at myself in the mirror and thought "if you don't get some more sleep, your mum won't even be able to recognise her own daughter"... I looked absolutely horrifying, especially around the eyes (I think I should have taken a selfie and posted it here on DV as proof!... Jokes).

      Where the intention for 18-Volt in the lucid came in is that I all of sudden discover that the workplace I am doing work-experience at in December is actually conducting the interviews from the 10th of September! You might be thinking, what does 18-Volt and attending the real life interview have to do with each other? That's not the correlation though. It's the fact that I will be required to go to the 13th floor and as past dreams have suggested, I have a big phobia of elevators. Originally, Dreamy WB has been providing me with the in-dream therapy but lately the dream has been tampering with her and not allowing her to appear.

      I could have ultimately put an intense amount of time into getting Dreamy WB back but there isn't much time until September the 10th. I feel that with this approach, the dream would only try to mess her up more and more and I would be wasting my time, rather than actually trying to get a reasoning with my phobia, allowing me to become somewhat competent. So instead of pursuing Dreamy WB at the moment, I have decided to go with 18-Volt. I like dream characters with a larger complexion when it comes to things like helping me face my fears as they can not only hug me, but also pick me up off the ground and hold me if need be, so I feel a higher sense of security with them, especially with a big, strong man. As September the 10th is very soon, I'm trying to make a very concerted effort to get as much exposure as possible, spending approximately 2 - 3 hours in the day, writing detailed letters or task plans in my exercise book. I stated that the minimum amount of times I would accept before September the 10th is twice (once each week) but these interviews can happen any time from then until the 27th of September, so if it is later, then I would prefer to have practice with 18-Volt at least 4 - 6 times as a minimum. I said that I would be competent to ride elevators in real life when I no longer have to touch 18-Volt (or Dreamy WB if she decides to come back on her own) and I feel okay when I wake up. Otherwise, if I don't have enough practice in-dream, then I'll be clambering to find a stair-well. Once the interview period is over (and hopefully 18-Volt's calmed me down enough), then I will be having a big crack-down on the Awareness Behind The Dream in-order to get Dreamy WB back.

      A bit about Dream 410 B now. I find it impressive that as 18-Volt is expressing his confusion, Dreamy WB appears on his side to clarify it to him. Usually, when there is a new significant dream character, I often have a series of "getting to know you dreams" (I don't plan these ones, they just come) where we meet for the first time and then they end up interacting with me and then learning about me as well. In real life, I have written that if it was possible to have 18-Volt go and see Dreamy WB to get behind the scenes tutorials on how my dreams work and how I conduct myself; so that's maybe what manifested in her appearing to him to explain my "Croatian" situation. By the way, Dreamy WB was telling the truth; in real life, I am actually Croatian.

    2. Dream - Let Me See The Baby

      by , 08-30-2018 at 12:59 PM
      Date of Dream: TUE 28 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 409 - Let Me See The Baby

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was walking through the corridors of some unknown hospital. Through out the corridor, there was all these lift doors and I as I went past each and every one of then, I shuddered at the sight of them and sped up to try and get away, especially thinking to myself that there was no one around to help me take them. When I was the base of the stairwell, I took time to think and recap which floor AW and her newborn baby were on.

      Then all of a sudden, I perceived this energy, telling me that my dad was nearby. And then he actually came and told me that he didn’t want me there. I was still insistent on visiting AW and the baby but my dad had forced me out of there. My dad was now in the form of this invisible wind while rushing me through the corridors and out of the hospital but rather than enjoying the ride and going with the current like I do with my dream guides, I was actually trying to fight my dad’s direction.

      As I was being taken down the road outside, I was hoping that a dream guide would step in and make him go backwards. I yelled out something along the lines of “He’s taking me against my will! Can someone please come and change his direction?!”. There was a break in the nature-strip suggesting a u-turning lane, where I was hoping that either Dreamy WB or 18-Volt would help make the shift. In the end though, nothing happened and there no other u-turn opportunities.

      I was now in the laundry room of my house and I still had my mind set on visiting AW and the baby and so I had ambitions to go back to the hospital by myself. The dream scene suddenly changed to me being at the shops, in which this store looked like it resembled Big W a lot but it sold slightly different stock. I was now looking for a gift for the baby for when I returned to the hospital. I picked up this very small pink bag, it almost looked like a knitted beanie. It was a tiny size but endless objects were coming as I reached my hand in there to pull each thing out.

      One of the objects in the bag was a card that I was really amazed with in regards to the front design. I then though to myself, “Damn it! Oh no… I’ve already written in the other card”, meaning the card that I apparently already had at home. The dream then gave me the option to have my message in the other card overwritten; I took the option.

      There was then a sub-scene playing in the laundry in where the card was floating as a projected holographic image and it had shown my message written on there. Weirdly enough, the front of the card, as well as the colour of pen I wrote in, was Christmas themed; red and green! When the card closed and opened again, my mind made the suggestion that 18-Volt had re-written the card for me, making it so that the message would suit the arrival of any baby in the future.

      When I assessed the writing in the card though, it didn’t look like much was done at first. But then the first line I wrote was in-fact erased and the rest looked like it was just merged or very neatly copied. I then came to the conclusion and said to myself, “Maybe, just maybe… 18-Volt has very similar handwriting to me!” as I felt amazed and excited by that discovery.

      The scene then went back to me shopping in the store and just as I had plans to leave to go back to the hospital, the dream ended.

      Dream No. 408 - Separated Sections

      Dream 408 A - That's One Sorry Cat
      I don’t remember how this dream started. From where I do remember, I was at my house and it was a dark rainy day. I looked out through one of the front windows and could see some sort of small Siamese cat wandering in the front driveway. My mum came down the stairs and told me to let the cat in. I was worried that this cat was going to fight with our cat but when I let both the cats into my brother’s room, they got along perfectly well to my surprise.

      When it stopped raining though, my mum came to shoo the Siamese cat out of the house. A bit later in the dream, the cat could be seen wandering in the driveway but both my mum and grandma scared it with water from a spray can. I was still in my brother’s bedroom and I was telling my mum “No! Stop!”. I was questioning her actions after such efforts were taken to look after the cat when it was raining. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream 408 B - The Man In Green
      I don’t remember much of this dream. From what I can remember, I was in some corridor full of lift doors but I shuddered and then ran straight past them. In a later scene of this dream, 18-Volt approached me and started talking to me, I forgot what he said though but he was very kind and friendly. He was significantly larger than me in this dream, I only came up just below his bust line and his appearance was a mixture from all games. That’s all I can remember.

      Date of Dream: SUN 26 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 407 - All About The Dress

      I can’t remember how the dream started. From where I can remember, I was in the front yard of my other grandparent’s house and I was picking oranges off the big orange tree. The scene moved quickly and I was then in the Target store of my local shopping centre. I had my sights set on a particular Dangerfield dress.

      As I was going to the fitting rooms to try it on, my year 7 textiles teacher appeared and she was ridiculing me about the ambition to get that dress. She went with me all the way to the change room and was still attacking me, even when I had the door shut and was in the fitting room myself. As I was trying the dress on, she said something about my figure. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      I can’t remember much about this dream. From what I can remember, I was at my old house in the kitchen with my mum. It’s there that one of my TAFE teachers appear but I don’t pay any attention to him. Rather, I am still talking to my mum and she then told me not to talk over my teacher who was trying to say something. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

    6. Dream - Evil Judge Grandma

      Date of Dream: THU 23 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 405 - Evil Judge Grandma

      The dream started with my parents driving along this road to their supposed holiday destination. They ended stopping in this rocky area which looked out to a large water reserve. When they got out of the car, they went and spoke to a large group of police officers that were in the area but I have forgotten what they spoke about.

      The next scene took place in this unknown room and stars of this scene were the contestants from The Block Australia 2018, Bianca and Carla. In the first part of the scene, there was this judge that was a really old lady and she was throwing terrible criticisms to all ten of the contests, no matter if the rooms were good or not.

      Now it was just Bianca and Carla in the now empty room, just the bed in the middle of it. There were these creepy looking plush toys on the bed and the girls each picked one up. Bianca had picked up the cheetah and Carla had picked up the alligator. The toys actually came to life and bit them on the hand and that’s when they both threw the toys onto the bed and shook out their hands from pain.

      It was then that an old lady had come out from behind the door and it was the evil judge. She said something but I forgot what it was… Bianca and Carla were absolutely petrified and afraid of her. That’s all I can remember for this dream.
