non-lucid

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Today I had 3 dreams, but only vaguely remember 1, and 2 fragments of the others. WTF happened to my recall!?

Saturday 10/12/2011 8 am

Dream 1
I'm at an outside swimming pool in a forest with some other people. There's something wrong about my coworker W's kid, for some reason he's not allowed in.
There's a man with tight swimming trunks, suggesting an ENORMOUS.. ..you know what.

Dream 2
There's a game for sale that really looks like fun, for only 0.88 EUR, but I decide against it for some reason.

Dream 3
A representative from one of our (real-life job) suppliers is in a dream.

I had this dream yesterday but couldn't blog it at the time, so here goes.

Friday 09/12/2011 04:47 am

My Spanish friend E. had come over from Spain for some event, my friend A. was there too. We're a total of 5 people, 3 girls (me, A and E) and 2 guys (N and G) (all people I know IRL). We try to take group pictures, but somehow my camera kept complaining that something wasn't correct about the photo. Especially with E's wild, luscious hair and dark make-up. Just before going to the event, E decides she needs to go back to Spain, and we direct her back to the train station. (There's no train from Belgium to Spain!! XD)

At the event we buy some stuff and go see a show (supposedly) on DVD, but it turns into a live show. Some guy in the show has the power to explode stuff and he went on a killing spree on the audience. I become aware that I'm the main protagonist of this "show" so I hide behind a big rock, and know I'm going to be fine. A soldier throws a hand grenade at my rock, causing me to be forced to shuffle over and duck as it explodes.

When the massacre is over, we all go pick up our stuff, which was all wet and gory, covered in intestines etc.

************************************************** ****************

I'm SO proud of myself, I remembered 4 full dreams!! I remembered them in pairs, as I woke up at 1:29 am and remembered the first two.

Dream 1
I get home before my parents. When they get home too, I need an eye operation, and the doc starts by taking out my purple contact lens. (i own these IRL) then he paralyzes my face (but somehow i can still talk) ans begins cutting. ..under my eyebrow! So i protest, but he says "don't worry, I'll sew IT back on." and begins.. ..on my cheek, working his way up to my eyebrows and the dream ends just as he's about to start peeling off my skin..
This was SO silly. The doctor was my family PG. And he cut around my eyes, kinda like a Zorro Mask.

Dream 2
I'm in Leuven, on the train to heide. Someone i know from uni shows up and points me in the (wrong) direction but gets IT right eventually. I get the distinct feeling he's in love with me.
I dreamt about this type of train and station a few times before. The train is really long and thin, and on both sides there are platforms, but it's all soooooooo narrow.. AND there's no direct train from Leuven to Heide. ..why would I want to be in Heide in the first place, I don't live there!

This is when I tried FILD (Finger Induced Lucid Dreaming [link to thread]) THREE times and failed three times. Gave up and tried a normal WILD, but that failed too.

Dream 3
I'm in a shop, asking a store manager for certain items. Turns out they're baby supplies. Turns out they're for ME. There's a breathing tube (i could use One of those IRL, i've got a massive cold), with the following instructions: breathe next to needles. Upon closer examination, there are indeed two needles attached, One on each side. I laugh at how ridiculous that is, and remove them, and go to sleep, tube and all.
This one was so dumb. I work in the office of an ironware store, and people often ask me for items without me knowing what they are, exactly. So this one's just a reflection of my real working life. ..with silly twist about the breathing tube I guess my nose was particularly clogged up at that moment?

Dream 4
I'm in a forest, at camp of whatever, my dad's there too, and as we're being rounded up, i'm socialising with a bunch of other kids (i've become their age). We're on our way to a concert.

I'm training the band, consisting of a musician and a young girl with a beautiful voice, but she does beatboxing.

As the gig begins i sneak into the audience and sit down with some kids. When the roll call begins, the name "iris" is called. A boy in front of me raises his hand. His supervisor says "iris, not Eric. PLEASE don't raise your hand again, as IT would mess up our count." he indeed does not raise his hand again. He States that he speaks German as well as Dutch.
This one was really interesting. The band were playing these synthesizer beats, together with the girl's beatboxing. I might use that beat in a song, if I ever manage to take the time..

I apoligise (to myself more than anyone else), I don't really remember in which order my dreams occurred.. I don't even remember waking up between them, but I must have, since this morning I remembered 2 dreams and 2 fragments. They're also not in correct order, as I can't remember the order I had them in. I need to practice more!!

I'm out with Diana and her friend Eric and his fiance. I'm to spend the night at Diana's, but the girl who plays Lori in Freddy vs Jason says she needs to be somewhere. Or has a French language exam and if we can help her cram for it. Sure thing, we do.

We're at some museum and I keep getting distracted by cats outside, and apparently my opening and closing the door is annoying people but nobody seems to notice it's me. I feel incredibly guilty.

I'm on a bus, but miss my stop. There are people singing along to my music (I'm wearing headphones!!) so I turn it down. The bus turns at the terminal and I make it to where I need to be.

My friend Colin is in my next dream.

And there's something about My Little Pony.

First dream:
I'm at work and they're passing my job on to my coworker. I can see his desk with my stuff on it, including my clothes XD

Second dream:
2 Robots are interrogating a third robot, at my aunt and uncle's place (we talked about them at dinner IRL), taking the poor thing apart and reassembling just for torture purposes. I'm just watching this dream. The robot being tortured has red, muscle-like looking parts and limbs, connected by wires representing veins, i guess?

I told someone on dreamviews.com yesterday, that robots are nightmare creatures for me. ..apparently not.

And i *know* i had a third dream between these two but i can't remember it. Serves me right for being too lazy to blog it immediately >_<

Dream 1
My friend K and her boyfriend had recorded voice acting for an animated film and i was at the première with them. There were comics about the animation as well (i think. They might have been about something totally different.) ..It was recorded in a trailer, and that's also where the reception was.

Dream 2
I wanted to go swimming at the pool in my old uni city, but a group had booked it. I was suddenly surrounded by the (naked!) group and realised i wasn't gonna get in, not having booked. I was stupid enough to ask the manager if i could join the group but she apologised and said no. So i jumped the story down to the dressing room (which was like a big marble empty oval roomm about 2 storeys high) and made my way back up to the exit.. ..which was a single-person shower.

I started walking all the way back to the train station, but ran into a market with an animal stall which sold rabbits. They did not look happy.

Dream 3
I'm eating out with my parents, but the place is also a hotel and has a tiny gym. So i go to that gym and lie down to do some sit-ups. Turns out there's sheets and blankets and stuff i have to get rid of so i do but i get bored and just walk out again.

I call my friend J, who has recently rzturned from Greece after his gf broke up with him (this is IRL memory), to make sure he's ok. He gets all emotional and touched by my call, and we hang up again.

I take a bus/taxi and thzre's this kid, trying to get rid of his ex. When getting off the bus, i almost forget my spare shoes. The kid tells his ex they'll be fine in time and she runs off with the biggest smile on her face. He walks with me and starts reciting this reeeaally corny poem and even verbally confirms this to me and giggles. It's at this point that i realise he's actually rather cute, for a 15-year-old.

I kinda think this kid represented Dominiq, a sort of recurring character in my dreams over the years. He always has a different exterior but I usually know it's him, either in the dream or after waking up. I love Dominiq.

I fell asleep listening to Jazz music (Jazz program on the Classic radio channel), and at some point the song was kinda eery but very trance-inducing. Suddenly a female voice goes "Shifting Conscious. Real unreal." (and a load of other words and phrases like that) and I had a panic attack, thinking I was entering the Hypnogogic Hallucinations phase, which I want to avoid at all cost. So I just shook all muscles in my body XD ..then it occurred to me that maaaaaaaybe it was just part of the song that was playing XD This was confirmed when the vocal sequence was repeated. Sure gave me a fright, though!!

I dreamt i was with my friend Cassie, cycling or walking, and we discovered this little sand path to explore. I have dreamt about it before. We were staying at her place and I had to decide whether i'd stay another night. Her mum got a bit annoyed so i just said i'd leave that night, but actually wanted to stay longer.
I think this is a seperate dream.
I was in the same setting and neighbourhood, with another friend, Nele. We were in a state of preparation for war and had to report back to a bunker. I remember having to go through nettles. (i fell in them as a child and am manically phobic of being stung again) by this time, my friend was Cassie again. Then she was Nele again and said she was the only One who didn't climb an iron mpuntain. But she got irate at the sargeant (behind his back) for expecting her to study an insane amount in a few days.

I wake up, remember my dream, grab my phone to blog it, and boom it's gone >_<

All i remember is a white corridor with black architectural supports. It's as if i'm walking through it with my head tilted to the left. We had to go get something for someone, but don't ask me what or for whom..

I've just remembered something. My friend told me the necklace I gave her is broken, and I remember dreaming about that necklace. I saw it in its broken state, in my dream. It's a little black ball with siny gem-like plastic things on it, and in the dream I could see a chunk missing.

Ok so last night i was so scared of the hallucinations i might get while falling asleep, i didn't. Not until past midnight. Classical music lulled me to sleep at last.

I had a dream about My Little Pony, because i'd been watching a really OLD episode of it before bed :p

This is my first DV DJ entry.. I do keep a blog about my dreams (because I can blog from my phone, so I won't have to bother turning on my computer, waiting, and losing dream details), but I really wanted to share this one.

The main dream was about my mum and i having an operation. When we were put under, i had a lucid dream. But when i woke up, back into the main dream, i did not maintain my lucidity.

Which is a bit stupid, because NOTHING was rational in the main dream. ..the operation room was a field, the sky was Orange and the doctors were skelletons. ..noooothing weird at all about that which might suggest being in a dream, right? XD

It kinda looked like an Iron Maiden poster, which is weird, because I hardly ever listen to Iron Maiden. I like them, but lately I've been more into J-rock and haven't listened to them for a while.
Maybe my brain went operation=doctors=nurses=women=virgins=maiden=iron maiden?
