Prelude: I'm subscribed to someone called Tom Scott on youtube who has made the type of videos that have literally saved my morale, my sanity, and my life. (Seriously, if you want a good laugh, search for "Tom Scott Citation Needed" on youtube. You won't be disappointed!) Also, Tom is a lovely person, great personality, great presenting skill, frankly someone I look up to. Now, Tom always wears the same kind of clothes in their videos: grey hoodie over a red shirt. This shirt will become important in the dream: I'm at boarding school again, like, living there again. At my current actual age. I'm in the TV corner, chilling with some random girl, and Tom. Tom is playing some video game, and the girl and I are watching. She's sitting between Tom and I. Tom's shirt changes colour every time I look away and back at them. The first time it happens it's khaki green. I comment on it, no reaction. It happens again a few times, so I comment again, and without warning Tom suddenly points a precision knife at my head, reaching all the way behind the girl between us. Who doesn't react whatsoever btw. "Do you know how close that is to my head, Tom!?" No reaction, but there's a warning look in Tom's eyes as the knife is retracted. It happens again, this time it's a lighter shade of green, with white cuffs at the sleeves. "That's a nice colour on you, though." Again with the knife and the look. I suddenly feel really bad and apologise softly, to which there is again no reaction. Then Tom gets up for a toilet break and leaves the room. I get up to get a glass of water (we're suddenly in my parents' living room) and vent to the girl about how bad I feel now. As I'm getting water, Tom joins me in the kitchen. Me: sorry. I'm so sorry. Tom: (now smiling) I think you got the lesson? Me: (embarrassed) ..Yeah. I'm undoing society's social training, slowly but surely. I'm sorry. Tom: *laughs and hugs me* -end- ..this was an incredibly vivid dream, and frankly I'm surprised that the changing shirt didn't make me lucid XD
Cutting to the chase: In the dream, I wake up in my bed as normal, but there's someone in my room with me. Turns out it's my history teacher. She explains that I've been taken to the future, or an alternate reality, I'm not sure. Either way I've been taken from my life and into another kind of society. Here, most people have had their brain implanted into a robot body and are now basically Robocops. There are a few Fleshdwellers (humans with their original body intact and in use) left, most of them have become Crawlers (nightmareish creatures with a lust for murder, they have no depth perception for some reason and no hair and red eyes.. long story short: they're dangerous and creepy) who hunt down the remaining non-Crawler Fleshdwellers for scientific research. ..and "spare parts", I guess. One night, while running from a Crawler, I run into a person (with a robotic body). She's my friend apparently, and takes me down into the sewers, hoping the smell will mask mine so the Crawler will get lost in there. We end up getting caught in a current and the further along we get, the cleaner the water becomes. Until we surface again in a lake full of pure water, glistening in both moon- and sunlight at the same time. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen. It reminds me of where the Elves live in Lord of the Rings. But the people living there are no elves, they're just.. ..humans. Looking, talking and walking like humans. Except they have no word for "I" and always speak in "we" and "us". Then of course my alarm goes off and that's that for this dream It was totally awesome and I want to go back there.
I am officially an idiot XD I woke up and went about my morning routine. ..until I tried to turn on a light switch and nothing happened. At first I thought the light bulb had died, or the electricity, but then it struck me: switches don't work in dreams!! So I did a reality check: dropping to the floor like a plank. Usually I can make myself float like that. Not this time, though. So I tried the light switch again, still nothing. I looked out of the window, and saw the view from my dorm room.. ..where I used to live 10 years ago. But of course, I just went "oh ok." and woke up for real. Psh.
Non-lucid dream, but still pretty.. ..interesting. Prelude: I've had a crush on Robert Carlyle since I was about 13 (he would have been 38 at the time) and have only recently admitted publicly that I do. [Dream] I'm in a supermarket, working as a cashier. Suddenly Robert Carlyle is brought in, in handcuffs, as he had stolen something in another store. They didn't have any room to keep him, so he was sat down right next to me. We exchanged a few looks, but he was really pissed off. I just continued my work. -time gap- My work day ends and I'm told to escort Robert to prison, which I reluctantly do. Out of freaking nowhere a massive vampier vs humans fight breaks out in the prison, and I'm fighting alongside Sam Winchester (one of the main characters in "Supernatural"). The vampires have found a way to chemically freeze humans (you know, for conservation) and threaten to freeze everyone. (Funfact: they call it Vitrification) Sam and some other guy sacrifice themselves to be frozen so the rest of us have a fighting chance. The floor in front of them turns to ice, they step on it and freeze from their shoes up to their hair. It looks incredibly painful, but we have to fight the vampires so I sneak my way up to the balcony from which the vampires were looking on. The entire floor below is now ice and I start pushing them off of the balcony and onto the frozen floor, where they freeze just like the humans. Victorious, I stand up, turn around, and there is Robert Carlyle again, looking at me with sadness in his eyes. It hits me like a brick: he's a vampire too. A new one, I'd say, as the top of his head is missing (remember that scene at the end of KILL BILL? The one where O-ren Ishii is standing there with the very top of her head chopped off? Yeah, that's how Bobby looked.). I look back at him and shake my head. "You really need to get your head checked." I tell him. He half-smiles but it disappears soon as we both know what he has to do now.. [end dream] Luckily for me, nothing happened next, but that feeling of understanding and sadness is still with me. In case anyone didn't grasp it, he was supposed to kill me at the end, as I was the only remaining non-vampire. As I lay awake afterwards, I did imagine that there was another way: conversion. If he had me converted into a vampire, we both could have lived. But in the dream, it didn't occur to either of us, apparently.

Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** **************** I'd woken up in the middle of the night from the sound of storm outside. I lay awake for a few hours, but finally managed to fall asleep. Dream 1: I had ordered something that the neighbour opposite us had or whatever, so I went over to his place but he still had to go pick it up himself. So we got into his car (he had 2 baby girls in there too) and drove to the place, which was like some kind of warehouse. Inside, I just took some time to look around, and a really skinny girl caught my attention. She was bent over doing something, facing away from me, and her hotpants showed a little opening right at her butt hole. I wondered if she knew, and if she'd gotten raped because of it. Then my attention swayed towards another peculiar item: my sister's severed head. On a display-thingie. (for those of you who have seen the film "Return to OZ", it looks like the witch's cabinet of heads) So I looked at it, and it looked back at me! Not like a doll looks back at you, but she literally turned her eyes towards me. I freaked out and looked away again. ..only to look back at it, of course. It was looking away from me, but as I was looking she turned her whole head towards me. Still freaked out, something dawned on me: I might be dreaming, this was just too freaky to be real. So I went over to her (not fully lucid, just the hunch occurred to me) and she opened her mouth and had vampire fangs. I woke up, thinking how absurd that was and rolled over.. ..straight into SP! It lasted a whole lot longer than it normally does, and I felt a constant vibration rather than separate waves. I saw all sorts of things but they flashed before my eyes so fast I couldn't really make out any of them. My eyes were rapidly blinking, by the way, I couldn't control it. And then it was over, I opened my eyes and.. Dream 2: I felt myself being pulled up to a sitting position. My room was darker than it should have been, so I went "Alrighty, let's see what I've got in store for myself this time!" and walked out my door into my living room. It was.. ..different in an awesome way!! My furniture was rearranged into the coolest configuration!! I'll try to reconstruct it in The Sims 3 tonight and post a picture! I also noticed I had a back yard (which I don't, because I live in an apartment), and swings inside the back porch. So I swung and swung again and let go and soared right through the glass window, into the back yard. From here on, I couldn't actually leave, so I just dropped to the ground and floated up. This time I was just going to hover like some hovering doofus. I went up up up all the way, I could see half the world! Then I figured maybe that's a bit much. After all, space is just mostly emptiness. So I lowered myself again and landed on some rooftop, just as the inhabitant of the house I landed on came home. He, too, was flying, but he flew up to his 2nd-story window upstraight, not swimming like I do. So before he went inside I just went "HEY!!" and he replied with a greeting and joined me on the rooftop. He raised an eyebrow. "..what are YOU doing here??" I just shrugged. "Doesn't matter, this is a dream, so.." He looked at me in awe. "This is a dream!? ..huh!" he got excited too about the idea. And then my leg decided to go spasmic and I woke up.
I was in the middle of a dream when I heard a loud BANG, literally next to my ear as if someone slammed a door. Which is odd, because my appartment only has 2 swinging doors: my front door into the corridor, and my bedroom door. The rest are sliding doors that don't go *bang*. I don't even have a wardrobe, just shelves where my clothes live. I calmed myself down, and started hallucinating (I hallucinate outside of SP as well as in SP) and heard a little girl say "HEY!" in a cheerfully excited tone. I even smiled at this, it was so cute. I heard another little bang (from my boiler) and in a flash I saw a grey decayed wall, like a ruin. I felt the pre-SP vibrations and started to hear stuff, so I thought "Nope, not going into HH." so I said NO out loud and rolled over to my left side. Went into SP anyway, of course, lol, while lying on my side. 2 waves of vibrations later, I woke up in the dream Again, I didn't bother RCing. ..had I read Matte's new competition rules, I'd have done it, because it would have given me points XD
I woke up in the middle of the night, felt like I was gonna go into SP, but the hallucinations started kicking in before I could prepare myself mentally so I just said "NO" and rolled over to my side. Of course, I still went into SP XD I felt I was in the dream, so I floated above my bed for a bit, and then thought "meh, I've got flying down as a skill, no point in doing it in here.." so I hovered back down and thought I'd open my eyes XD So I did. My room was pitch black (even blacker than it should be), so I walked out into my living room to find.. ..C!! FINALLY!! I got so happy I knew I had to do something to constrain my thrill (lest it wake me up), so I just kissed him. While I was kissing him I thought "YES I FINALLY SUMMONED HIM! I DID IT!!" ..and I turn around to see.. ..another C! The same man in my dream. Twice. So I did what any good girl would do and had a threesome, though I didn't get further than both Cs kissing me at the same time (and kissing each other while at it) before my dream collapsed. Short 'n sweet!
I'm going to keep a log of my Sleep Paralysis experiences, just for my own record, motivation and of course, for others to read This morning I woke up at 2.30 am, remembered 3 dreams and wanted to write them down.. ..but my DJ was left on my computer desk and I didn't feel like getting up. I also totally forgot I can blog from my phone XD Hey, it was 2.30 am So I just lay there, contemplating on the dreams in an attempt to remember them in the morning (which worked, btw!). Then I felt myself get heavy and thought I'd attempt a WILD. I kept thinking of my favourite subject to be thinking about before bed: Dominiq (recurring DC, I've kinda fallen in love with him). I used him as my anchor of consciousness. Then I felt the familiar numbness and started to hear things (HH), but thought "NO, I don't want to hear shiz!" so I moved my elbow slightly. Then it kinda felt like my hand was upside down, but my arm was not like my wrist was twisted. It didn't hurt though. I could still move my arm and hand and they felt fine. Then the feeling returned and I just let it be, occasionally trying to move a limb until I couldn't anymore. I was in SP. I didn't hear anything but noise (which I was fine with), and a total of three vibration waves washed over me. Then when none seemed to come anymore, I tried getting up. I felt really strange like my body didn't bend as it normally would when you sit up from lying-down position. I also had trouble opening my eyes fully, but it didn't matter. I noticed it was pitch black in my room, whereas it should be dimly lit by street lights.. I didn't even bother doing a reality check, lol.
I went into SP.. Wake up and my room is pitch black. It should be dimly lit from street lights. So i go to my living room and float like i tried last time, only higher. I notice missing furniture. I decide to summon Dominiq again, by going into my bedroom again and expecting him there. Nada. So i go outside and i'm in england again, on some country road. I start floating again and just bobble about until i find some DCs. I decide to summon James May, so i ask the dcs if they know him, kinda expecting them to. They do, but upon me asking them to bring him here, they say his bus ticket would get too expensive. I don't want to get in trouble so i just leave it at that. I tell One of the dcs that i'm dreaming. He doesn't believe me, so i start floating and tell him i don't care if he doesn't, because he's just a dream character. He gets upset and says he isn't, and that his sister died. I now notice my friend Veerle has shown up in the group. And i remember Dominiq, so i try to find him by turning corners and expecting him there, and shouting out his name over and over. Still nothing. Disappointed, i go back to the group, who are now comforting a latino looking young girl. The dream becomes unstable and i wake up
Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** **************** 25/12/2011 Dream 1 I'm drinking Coca Cola with friends and suddenly realise I'm dreaming because I HATE Coca Cola XD Not the brand itself, just the taste of cola. So I shout "THIS IS A DREAM!!" and wake up into Sleep Paralysis. I realise how lucky I am, and just let it be. I hear a high-pitched giggle (HH). Dream 2 I find out I can move again, and open my eyes. My room is all white (should be dark shades of grey), my door has no handle, it is instead attached to my wall As if that wasn't clear enough, I check my hands. I tilt my hand backwards (perspective makes my fingers look smaller), and when I tilt my hand back up, my fingers are still small XD So I spin around (I always do this after a FA, in an attempt to summon C.), and walk out my door.. ..straight into a staircase-hall. So I follow the stairs all the way down, thinking "..what's with these stairs, anyway..". When I hit the bottom, there's a door to my left, askew, and I can see the end of a bed and clothes on it. Instead of going in (it's MY dream, after all!) I decide to just leave it be and look around. I see another door with a few steps leading to it. It's a back door and leads to a back yard that looks vaguely familiar to me. I can't put my finger on it, but I know it'll come to me later. Suddenly I realise there's another door (it must have only just materialized..), which is the front door. I walk out of it and.. ..I'm in Woodley (just outside Reading, England), and have just walked out of the house I used to live in during my stay in England. My housemates are sitting in the front yard (which doesn't actually exist IRL). I wave at them, but I have other things to do. Like flying. I don't really know how to go about it, but remember the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. In the book, Arthur learns that "flying" is simply "falling and missing the ground". So I give that a go; I flop down on my belly and stop the ground from touching me with my hands. It works, I'm floating about an inch above the pavement. I slowly straighten my arms, effectively pushing myself upward. I'm now at about eyeline-height. I start making swimming motions and swim through the air. I pass a female DC and some male DCs, she's stopping me like those survey people on shopping streets. Slightly annoyed I go "Ugh, seriously, I have better things to do!", but she's looking worried, so I "land" anyway. Apparently she's trying to get rid of her plane ticket to New York, where she's supposed to open/announce a circus show (I'd been watching Cirque du Soleil yesterday) as the Celebrity Guest. I laugh and joke she'd have a better chance in the US, and flop to the ground again, float and swim away. I'm now kicking my feet together, like a Mermaid's tail, and I'm reaching a nice speed. I suddenly realise I failed again at summoning C., so I try again by going around corners and expecting him there. (Seriously.. just show up, dagnabbit!) That fails over and over, but when I look behind me, the DCs are always close to me, as if they're running after me or something. I suddenly remember my little contest with Nito89 (in Matte's Competition Thread) and try to summon him. Doesn't work either, and I wake up. I think I woke up because my REM cycle ended, since I woke up in the middle of it, I was still in SP.. This is memorable, because it's my first attempt at flying, and I'd say I've done rather well Maybe C was in that one room with the door askew? Next time I get lucid I'll remember to check out each and every opportunity.

Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** **************** Dream 1: 1.18 AM I'm at a bakery with Kelly, when she goes outside to wait for G. I go see what's up and by the time i go back in, there's a huuuge cueue. I get annoyed at her for wasting our place in the cueue, but she's pleading that G is worth it, so i just shrug and wait with her, forgetting the bakery altogether. Dream 2: 1.18 AM I'm working somewhere, i go to the canteen for lunch (the corridor leading to it has a slope, lol) but it's empty, with lots of ppl outside i don't know. Apparently there’s going to be a meeting in the canteen, so i go look for food elsewhere and get lost on my way back to the office. Dream 3: 3.12 AM I'm in Leuven (university city), going to the market, but half the city is destroyed. When I do reach the market, I see some friends of mine (S and a person I can't identify). S tells me about his latest Japan-related project, and then we go talk privately about what had only just happened to me. My hair is wet and sticking up Wolverine style. That's the umpteenth time I dream of Leuven, so I guess it's a dream sign of mine!! Also, it's the second time I dream about the market in Leuven. There is one IRL that I used to go to before Friday class. It seems to be linked to my desire to get a hamser. The first time I dreamt of it was when I first started looking for a hamster IRL, and yesterday the pet store called me to say their couple had bred healthy cubs that could be separated from their mums on Saturday. And again, I dream of that market in Leuven. Weird! Dream 4: 3.12 AM I see a black woman bent over, while her husband (also black) is circling her, touching her with his penis. Eventually she screams "PIKACHUUUU" and he finally gets to actually fuck her. Apparently they're in a game show. Awards are being handed out. She's now wearing 150cm tall high heels & she's singing. ..this may have had to do with blues/jazz being on the radio. I sleep with music. Dream 5: 6.28 I'm checking something out, about two guys. One of them (the one I find most attractive of the two) is suddenly behind me. He's tall and has long blonde hair. After we talk for a bit, a girl shows up and gets all flirty with him, so I kinda back off a bit to give them some privacy, assuming she's his girlfriend. Suddenly she gets all cold on him, and I feel sorry so I give him a warm hug. As I squeeze him, his hand lowers down my back, he gropes my bum and we kiss.. OMG DOMINIQ!!!!!!!!! Where've you BEEN all this time!? Ahem. Dominiq is a sporadically recurring Dream Character, first appeared about 5 years ago as my lover. This is my 4th dream about him! FINALLY OMG I MISSED YOU!! (TwT) Dream 6: 6.28 I'm with Gwen and Vicky, hiding from a Geisha. They hide under the stairs, but I don't fit so I run up the stairs and hide inside the Geisha's bedroom, in some storage room. It feels like I'm in a film, acting. The Geisha comes into the room, looks at the storage room (as scripted), and goes away again. I escape and rejoin my classmates in the balcony of a theater. It hadn't occurred to me how quiet it was, until everyone suddenly turns round and laughs at me, talking about something I did where I got caught. I just laugh with them. ..this is just weird shiz XD I reckong it may, again, have to do with the radio. Applause being translated into the dream as "people suddenly talking loudly". After writing that down, I had 2 more minutes before my alarm went off, and guess what. I go into SP >_<. No. Time. Left. For. LD!!
Updated 12-16-2011 at 09:26 AM by 51317
..ok, so tonight, I'm not going to say it, I'm going to actually DO it, and just let SP happen when it does. I'm SO sick and tired of losing all those chances for a LD just out of fear for Hypnagogia. It's MY dreamworld, and in there, I AM GOD! I get into SP spontaneously pretty much every night, but the prospect of perceiving things that aren't really there is SO disturbing to me that I avoid it like the plague. I've let it happen once, and had a full LD, so I seriously don't get where my fear still comes from today. It was totally fine, not scary and the dream was awesome. So I'm just going to let it happen tonight. Period. End of story.
Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** **************** Ok, I know dreams are meant to be strange, but this is really.. ..I'm just going to say what happened in the dreams and let you judge for yourself. Dream: 5.18 am There's been a flood, I can see a canyon in the middle of the street, made by the waterflow. I'm in my own town, on my way to an old lady who used to live in a square little house, but decided on a whim she liked the little square house on the opposite side of the road better. So I ride my bike past her new house quietly, trying not to be discovered by her (for some reason, I think she's annoying or something) and my aunt shows up. My parents are suddenly there and my mother decides I have too much stuff with me and promptly decides to completely rearrange my bags. (she does this IRL too, so I didn't think much of it). Dream 2: I'm with a bunch of friends (whom I don't know IRL), we're doing something of a game but it'll be filmed as well. It involves some of us being shot with a paralyzation powder gun. So my friends get hit, and I pass out simply from smelling the gas. We wake up and we all look different, as if someone performed plastic surgery on all of us and it healed real quick. I can tell the first part is just to do with my moving. ..across the street from where my parents live. Perhaps the old lady was me, and I didn't want to confront myself with that? I don't know. I'm not entirely sure if the second dream is a separate dream or not, but it feels like it is, so I classify it as such.

I'm in a spaceship-type vehicle, and we're being shrunk to cellular size. Then we're fighting off infectious creatures. ..I was a White Blood Cell!! Exactly how AWESOME is that!?
Colour Legenda: Setting| Technique used | Dream (lv1) | Dream (lv2) | Lucid Dream | Notes ************************************************** **************** Dream 1 I'm at some party, leaned against a wall, talking to my ex-boyfriend P. He's having issues with his girlfriend/fiance. Dream 2 I'm at a hotel room, and my mother suggests I watch a film she describes as being "about a girl who loses a bit of her dress in the hallway", and I get the feeling it's a detective, and this piece of dress is the vital clue. The girl is in front of a mirror and sees herself, dress and all. But she's a ghost and only her chest and upper body are actually there. She says "..is this all they found?" (asking if this is all they found OF HER), to which a man nods, sad expression on his face. She becomes suspicious, and her suspicion leads to her being held captive. As she's being brought back to the room with the mirror, she secretly tears a tiny bit off her dress and drops it on the ground in the hall. The captors mention something about her baby and she flips out. After her "episode", one of the guys sits down with her and says "..it was your choice, to walk out into the corral.." Turns out it was all in her head, and she's actually committing suicide by drowning. I can now see her feet on the bottom of the sea, as coral crystals climb her legs quickly, up to her chest. She's now conscious and tries to grab something on the ocean floor (I think the piece of her dress she cut off, but it looks more like a note.), but the crystals are now already up to her arms. She's "frozen" in a cross-shape (much like Jesus Christ in the Bible, except there's not cross, only corals), closes her eyes and open her mouth, allowing creatures and crystals to enter her body, and kill her. This is literally the saddest dream I've ever had. It was beautiful, though, the last bit where she completely surrendered to the ocean and died gracefully. I'm definitely going to try and paint this! Dream 3: I finished watching a DVD (not sure if it was the previous dream, so classifying it as a separate dream) and am having problems finding the right buttons on the DVD remote. The remote itself is black, most buttons are light grey, some are yellow-ish, the one I need is gold-ish, and there's a red one as well. I give up and look into a second-hand psychology textbook instead.
