1) I was in some sort of log-cabin with a lot of my friends. My mum was there too, so I assume maybe the rest of my family were there too. I think it was very dark outside but the lights were on in all of the rooms, making the rooms very well lit. I was a chillout room, and walked over to the laptop on a desk when one of my mates called me over. I read what was on the screen - it was some dirty messages expressing to people that I was horny. I remember saying them out of anxiety and a messed up brain, not out of horniness. So, I went off to find my Mum, who had somehow heard the news already XD I explained to her what had happened, and she said "Okay whatever, it's the same thing that happened last week with the porn". In the dream, the week before my parents found I watched porn. We were sitting on a table, and she looked fairly not bothered. I was happy it went so well and slunk off. 2) I was at either a Scouting event or some sort of music festival - I think it was a music festival, but with my friends I'd normally go to a festival with. I think I was drunk, as I was really disorientated, wandering around in a field late at night on my own. I was looking for our tent, and knew that there was a light on in it so it should have been easy to find. There was a couple nearby me looking for tents as well. The woman said to the man something like "Oh, it looks nothing like it did on the advert". The sky was a nice colour - a sort of gradient from pitch black to light blue. There was a large pole with something on the top about 3 metres to the right and forward of me. It was either a large sign or a basketball hoop - I'd imagine the first, as it'd be more suitable for a campsite I eventually arrived at the tent. All my friends including Will.N, Tom.R and Josh.P for some reason were in the tent. It was very large - the size of the regular 10 man tents we use, but the floors and canvas was made of wood, kind of like a trapper tent. When I entered, I thought I wouldn't be welcome as I didn't help set up etc. and thought I'd have my own tent to set up on my own. However, I was welcomed kindly on entry by everyone, and I crawled in through the crowded room of people laying on the floor, kneeling on peoples legs and what not. I asked where there was a space for me - there was one in the far left corner. I remember being mildly annoyed as this only place was next to Josh.P, and as soon as I got there he was all up in my face and saying annoying things. I didn't mind though, I laughed it off. It was pretty light in the room - I think we were using a large gas-lamp. 3) I was on a double decker bus at College waiting to leave - however it was actually in the car park of my secondary school's leisure centre. It was sometime between 10am and 4pm, and we were all wanting to go home. We were fairly far away from the centre - a good 20 metres to the left, but we had a good view. We suddenly saw Duncan Spence stood outside the leisure centre. We were really confused what he was doing. He was holding loads of birds that had just flown over and landed on him, as he's always been good at training animals + birds. Some were on his hands, arms and shoulders. He was walking past the right of the leisure centre now (must have gone backwards at somepoint), with a long line of small children following him. They looked about 8 years old, and the ones I saw were boys - I think I recognized one or two from when I helped out at cub-scouts. All of a sudden, duncan flung his arms out, and the birds all flew away in the same direction, like a dove does when being offered as a symbol of piece. All the children were in awe of Duncan. I figured it must have been some sort of Primary school activity that he was helping out with, as (in the dream) I remember doing this when I was little kid. I started talking to the people around me who I think were girls, basically saying how he could be a normal guy if he didn't say such inappropriate things and wear a pink helmet all the time. I looked over at him, and suddenly realized it wasn't him wearing a helmet - it was my friend Karl.S. Suddenly, my friend Chloe.R said something like "Ahahaha, did Connor.Barn really just go swimming? Aww that's so sweet". We all peered through the windows, and we saw him cycling away from the leisure centre on a bike with wet hair.
No dreams last night :/ I think it's just a sad fact that if I'm gonna keep staying up late, I'm not gonna get my recall better.
Awful, awful recall last night. To be honest it makes sense - i'd been drinking at a party, fell asleep at 1am, so y'know. 1) All I remember was my friend Greg.W were talking again about our guitar lessons (IRL, we were talking about it yesterday). We both haven't had a guitar lesson yet, and in the dream he told me that all I needed to take to the lessons was my guitar, lead and distortion pedal. My distortion pedal was my BOSS OS-2, it looked the same in the dream. I was happy that I had to bring it, to show it off as you don't normally get asked to bring it. 2) I was out with Amy...that's it.
Pretty poor recall last night. I'm gonna start waking up in the middle of the night briefly to gather my dreams, as I seem to get my best recall that way. 1) My Dad and his mate went on a week holiday to Japan. I was really jealous of my Dad as I knew I'd appreciate the Japanese culture more than he would. Me and 2 female friends who I cannot recall her chilling on the side of my bed closest to my door. We were talking about 'pussy', I believe XD But in a jokey, toilet-humour way - not flirtatious. I knew it would be fine as I didn't think my dad would be coming home until about 4am. It was probably about 12am, and it was pitch black in my room. Possibly the next morning, I was talking to my Dad. He said that he came home early and had been hearing everything. Initially I as embarrassed, but it didn't really bother me eventually. I asked him how Japan was - he said it was pretty good, but wasn't talking about it much. I kept questioning him about landmarks such as Fuji - he saw mount Fuji, and was amazed at how wide and perfectly diagonal it is. I agreed. 2) Me and my friends were sat at a long, narrow, oval shaped dinner table. We were all sat around it having a fish based meal. I think the occasion was a friend's birthday, but I really can't remember much. It was dark in the dining room, but candles lit the dining area. I think I was drinking Budweiser with my meal. We eventually decided to leave the table and chill in a room to the left of me. I think it was like a conservatory, and we were going to have more drinks in there.
Real Life Non-Lucid 1) I shot up out of bed at about 1:05am, convinced that I had slept an hours or two through my alarm, and therefore was very late for school. I jumped to the far end of my bed, my heart racing and breathing very heavily, before trying to make out the time. It was too dark to see the clock, but this alone showed it was too early to be 9am. I looked at my mobile quickly and realized the time, laughed and went back to bed. 2) Me and my friends were sat in a grassy area in our college eating or lunch. It was very sunny but a few clouds in the sky - at the times a cloud was covering the sun, making it shady. It felt like we were sat on the field of my secondary school, but I'm pretty sure we were at college. A girl called Rebecca.Ro was sat opposite me, sharing around a canteen packet of chicken nuggets and chips. The packet was white with red and yellow diagonal stripes going across it, like the ones in my secondary school. The chicken was more of a fillet than a nugget, only two large ones making up the chicken side. I really wanted to ask for some chicken, but I felt embarrassed to as I don't really know her very well. My good friend Sarah.S then started to do the same, sharing around food, except this time it was a little cylinder-shaped sachet of salt (try saying that 3 times faster ). She ripped the top off and threw the packet towards me but without letting go, so that the salt inside flew out and landed perfectly in my mouth, without any grains spilling anywhere else...like a boss. I was initially worried it would taste disgusting, but it wasn't very salty at all - I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed. I then updated my Facebook status, telling the world about my sodium adventure - because it was just too exciting to keep to myself I think I did this via a smart phone, as I later returned home and the status had been left. I was sat in my spareroom on the family desktop, and my status basically read that the salt really didn't taste salty, although it came across as tasting like ASIWYFA(then with about 5 unknown letters after). For those of you who don't know, ASIWYFA stands for 'And So I Watch You From Afar', a post rock band. So yeh, that made no sense. I think the other letters mixed in may been confused from OFWGKTA (A hip-hop collective called Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). My friend Latham had commented already explaining that no-one knew what the abbreviation meant and that I should actually clear that up. However, he wrote it in extremely bad spelling and grammar - the kind a 12 year old boy has when he first discovers MSN 11 people 'liked' his comment. 3) I was in a hotel with a mixture of my Explorers troop and my secondary school, but I can't really remember anyone who was there. We were downstairs in a hotel lobby, although it was more like a youth hostel - pretty shabby. The lobby area was the back room that we used to wait around in during dress rehearsals at my old drama group. It was night time, and it was dark outside - however all of the lights were on in the room, the kitchen, the hallway etc. so it was nice and bright. We were stood around unpacking etc. in the lobby - which makes no sense if we were staying in a hotel? But yeh, people were getting into their sleeping clothes and what not. I decided I was going to go and brush my teeth, hoping others would come along, but they didn't. I looked to the left of me, and my mate Jamie.K had no trousers of boxers on!! Just his bare arse. I noticed he was very orange and tanned compared to usual. I looked at him awkwardly for obvious reasons and he looked at me back as if to say, "What? It's only natural!" I walked upstairs somehow, and was stood in the hallway of the area where rooms were found. The lighting was very scary - a very dark red, like something in a horror movie, although we just put it off as bad maintenance. Before brushing my teeth, I decided to check the public shared freezer to make sure our items were still in there. I walked over to it - it was a fairly big freezer on the ground and pretty organized. I figured it was going to be all broken with our food stolen, but it was pretty good. Strangely, in one of the top shelves, someone had put two chicken drumsticks. Everyone around the area was pretty unfriendly and arrogant - they were all old than me, so they looked down on me as a wimpy kid ruining their fun. I even think some of them were travellers. They were all gathered in the hallway, leaning against the walls doing nothing much but insulting the younger people there. After checking the freezer, I started to leave without brushing my teeth - I'm guessing I got a bit intimidated and decided to come back when some of my friends were with me. As I was walking past one of the guys, I dug my hand into my left pocket to get some Skittles to eat - they were loose as they'd fallen out of the packet. I got a couple of yellow ones, but I caused a couple to roll out of my pocket and onto the floor whilst I was doing this. I got really embarrassed and clumsy, walking backwards to look at the skittles briefly, shrugging it off but tripping over my feet. They just said various stupid things to me, and I forgot about the skittles and continued walking around the square banister that led to the staircase. A guy by the staircase who looked just like someone in my Music Tech class called Josh.S said something to me - I can't remember what, but I remember it being friendly and possibly apologizing on behalf of everyone for being prats. Suddenly, I was on the second floor landing of a much fancier hotel. I think it was possibly the same hotel, but in a different room or something...I don't know. Either way, it was very, very posh, well lit by chandeliers with fancy paintings and gold decor all over the place. I was now looking for the toilet again, and a butler stood by a large set of double doors asked me if he could help me. I asked him to lead me to the toilets, so he swung open the doors, ushered me through and began to lead me into a large hallway. There was a sharp right turn in the huge building. The carpets were very fancy. Suddenly, Amy was with me. The place looked very much like a church. As we were walking through, the man was teaching us about the ancient parts of the halls, but I couldn't help but be distracted by the fact that Amy was texting away on her blackberry - I thought it was really rude. Eventually, he told her to stop texting, which I was relieved about. However, we got to a set of pews where we stopped and the man told us to follow him further to examine something, but amy said "Wait a sec!!" as she was fiddling with her phone again on the pew. The man told her that he had asked her to stop that, and she told him to chill out as she was just finishing something. Later on, I was in a circle of strangers (other than my friend Josie) just to the right of the pews - they all knew Amy somehow - however Amy was no longer there either. However, for some reason we had her phone. A little notification 'bleep' went off on her phone, and a girl that was in the circle checked it for her. She announced to everyone that our friend Ryan.Herb had died! Josie, who was sat to the left of me, asked if Ryan was the guy that started doing weed when he was in year 5. We said yes, it was. 4) My friends Will, Mandey, Mandey's friend who I did not know and myself were walking home from college via the same route I'd normally go. We were gonna pop into town, but decided to go back to my house to watch the rugby together. It seemed like some sort of date. We caught the bus from town to my house, but it seemed very short and my house was in the same town as my college in the dream - in reality, it is a good 30 minute drive. It was a cloudy day and about 4pm. Mandey had to leave early as she had other responsibilities at the Academy - i'm guessing it was dance or balet. However, she still said she'd manage to catch a good hour of the match. We also saw my dad at some point. As you can probably tell, I don't remember much about this dream - I'm just summarising what I wrote in my phone notes
Yeh...i remember nothing from last night </3 Sorry for the pointless entry, for some reason I seem to have OCD in that I want to clear my mind and track my dream progress even if I had none.
1) I was on a school trip with my secondary school. I can't remember where, but it was something like a zoo or a theme park, and we had stopped for lunch. It was pretty cloudy with sun shining through the clouds, and we were sat on the grass next to a tarmac pathway. A boy stole a girl's pink, digital camera as a joke. It was all harmless banter, until the person walked to his left for a bit, and threw the camera forcefully against the tarmac, shattering it until about 10 different pieces. No one could believe what he had just done, and he was looking back at us with an awkward but cheerful grin as if to say, "What? ...it was only a joke...". I then stood up and started shouting at him, "Mate, you realize you're gonna have to pay for that yeh?" several times. Everyone agreed with me. 2) I was back in my secondary school, in the assembly hall. Me, Sam.A, a new friend Jordan.E and I think one other were sat together near the reception door eating our lunch. Sam was sat opposite me, Jordan was sat to the right of him and the other friend I think was sitting to the right of Jordan. Suddenly, I hear someone abruptly saying "Calum...". I realize it was Bryn, an annoying and socially awkward person in my year. He asked me why I joined in and welcomed myself into Sam + Jordan's conversation, as if I was being some sort of wannabe person trying to fit in. I simply told him that I was talking to my new friend Sam.A about food - he was telling me about a rice dish he loves which contains his favourite cous-cous substitute. I imagined the dish, it was heavily rice based which looked very stodgy with some green sea-weed like stuff around the edges. Bryn continued to bother me briefly, before smugly walking back to Dan.N, Rich.P and some other friends of mine who dislike him also. He was very arrogant throughout the whole conversation, acting as if Sam and Jordan hated me. After he left, despite only being a few meters behind me, I started talking to Sam about how much I hate Bryn, and how arrogant + socially awkward he was. Sam was laughing and agreeing with me.
Had 1 really vivid dream last night, and 1 that I can't really remember much about. 1) I was living on a ferry in some sort of university where I was learning Japanese, but at a Degree standard. My teacher was russian - tall, quite ugly, with her hair tied tightly back. She was strictly japanese - i think we had to be VERY accurate with our speaking, bow, etc. She recommended I watch a Japanese film (which I cannot remember the name of) in order to learn better. I thought this was a good idea. I also remember a mental image of the ground floor where the entrance and main hall was, and it looked like hogwarts - fairly dim lighting coming from chandeliers and candles. There was a staircase on either side of the large room, leading to a hall on the second floor. There were also halls on the left and right of the grand floor, and I'd just come from the right. I was standing next to the entrance. 2) I was in a new college, but not the real life college that I've currently just started. I was walking around the main library area, and it was extremely crowded. There were people rushing around and very excited to be in the library, as the college had a large focus on personal tuition and career choices. The library was very typical for a library - very grey, with grey carpets that you find in schools, the ones that you can get carpet burns from really easily. There were no lights on, but it was well lit from outdoor light through windows on the sides. There was something in particular that I was looking for, but I cannot remember what. Eventually, I decided to walk upstairs to the disabled + young children section. I remember initially feeling nervous and self concious, but I decided to not care what people thought of me and just went for it. I walked up the staircase near the right of the main room at the back, and when I walked to the top I stood there for a minute, taking everything in. I saw young children mainly as I looked around. I was looking for a music section, and eventually found it, immediately looking for a specific white keyboard. This room was equally large, but was far more quiet. I could see lots of musical toys - everything I could imagine. I remember thinking "I bet they don't have toy electric guitars", and upon saying it 3 of the same red toy guitar caught my eye. I walked closer to it, examining the right shelves before turning to the left shelves. I couldn't see it on the left, but as soon as I looked on the left side of it, I found the white keyboard. It looked like a fairly basic keyboard, but it was actually a fairly complex synthesizer. I began to test it out, fiddling with the keys and the modulation wheel. I played with a distorted guitar patch, and it sounded incredible. The modulation wheel wasn't doing what I wanted to, no matter what settings I fiddled with, so I looked around for help. I noticed a good looking woman around 30 years old bent over and organizing the toys to my left. She was fairly tall, busty, and had white-blonde hair. I was scared of talking to her, as I had talked to her before online, and I worried that it was going to be awkward. However, she noticed I was having trouble and came to me to help. She didn't recognize me, or pay much attention to me - she just immediately took control of the keyboard, coming out with some Jibberish that made no sense, even to me, someone who knows a fair amount about electronic sound synthesis. She said something about the low frequency oscillator controlling the wrong parameters, but it was much more complex than that. I awkwardly thanked her. There was also a vocoder on the synth. I was back in the main section of the library. I can't remember if this came before or after the last section, but it was definitely part of the same dream. I was now amongst all the people rushing around, and I was holding a small card in my hand, about the same size as a business card. It had information that meant I was guaranteed a job in the given career field. Students could exchange these cards with Employers, who would take it and immediately take you on. I had already had a job with my friend Franzi, helping her work in the kitchen of a local hotel (which she does IRL). She had red hair in the dream, and we weren't enjoying the job at all, so she quit very shortly, and so did I. This is why I was rushing around - I had just found another card, and I was looking for the place to exchange it for a new job.
Had a bit of a dry spell the last couple of days: 1/10/12 I was having a chat with Amy, we'd stopped arguing and we were talking like normal 2/10/12 Me and Will were back at Wireless festival, however The Madness were there, so it was like Reading Festival, but not. We turned up to a tent to see Justin Bieber, because we suddenly admitted that we had a guilty pleasure for him. We walked into the tent, really excited to see him play. The tent was pretty small and dark blue. It was fairly cloudy but warm outside. The tent wasn't very packed at all - there was a fair amount of people, but not many. We got to about the middle, and a man came onstage annoucing something along the lines of "Ladies and Gentlemen, JUSTIN BIEBER!!!!!!!!!". Immediately, 'One Step Beyond" was played by The Madness, with no sight of Justin - just a backing band doing a ska cover. It would have been quite cool, if we hadn't just seen the ACTUAL Madness play the same song 30 minutes ago. The crowd looked kind of amused, but slowly meandered off to see another band. The crowd was mainly middle aged/elder teens, not the typical lot of little girls you'd image to see. Me and will were disappointed at the gig.
