Posts of dreams I've had, as well as introspective thoughts on my dreams and dream recall.
Here are some short fragments from a nap earlier today, will expand on it later: -was lucid -train, framework -armies, rancor, explosives -turned super saiyan -group of guys, possibly the enemy, or dream guides -being tested -was able to stop a train with my bare hands, although it pushed me back a while -shouting "I will stop this train!" and screaming lots too -powering up while being pushed back by the train -kissing a girl -embarrassed in front of a friend -traveling somewhere -finding something that was lost -being in a city -possibly being in front of traffic? from a couple nights ago: -saw baphomet, then saw baphomet in portrait form -talked to a friend from interlochen about having seen baphomet in my dream, in the dream, with the big portrait of baphomet in front of us -in this lounge area of a house, light blue colors, calm mood
Took me a while to find some time to post these dreams, but here they are. Below is the list of fragments which I'll expand upon: -interlochen friends -driving, being driven, then actually driving myself -biking, and changing lanes and letting cars pass, and biking through this marsh area -lake, marsh area, tripping out -2 talking mountain lions, one of them was eating dead snake, mentioned eating a orangutan too and other animals that didin't fit the habitat around them -michigan -forest areas -driving back to my friends house, knowing the way back (in interlochen) -angry with my mom -at home, annoyed -mood was calm in the michigan area -mood was kinda angry and tense at home I was at my parents house, and it was at night, probably around 8pm or 9pm. There was a feeling of tension in the air, and then I heard my mom and one of my sisters arguing (or yelling, I forget) and I walked down the hallway to the laundry room/downstairs. I said something to my mom but forget what it was, and generally felt angry that she was yelling at one of my sisters. The back porch door was open and so was the door to the garage. I could see that it was dark outside, and I also knew that my other sister was outside. My mom was standing near the doorway to the garage facing me, and the sister that got yelled at was upstairs. I woke up slightly saddened by this. I woke up after this, then went back to sleep. I was with one of my interlochen friends, and he was driving us through this bay area that resembled traverse city, MI. There where red brick houses along the street, a median with trees and black street lamps, and lots of pine trees behind the houses. The sky was clear and it was extremely peaceful. We were leaving my friend's house in the dream (although its different than real life) and the dream started when we had already left from his house. We drove for some distance, passing hill-y areas, but I don't remember where we stopped. Then I was the one driving, and by myself, and I needed to drive back to his place. Don't know why, but I had to. So I was basically driving the same way we came, except backwards. I remember feeling accomplished that I was able to remember the way back. After passing through the neighborhood area again, I approached a more open forest area, with some bigger houses too. Then I was suddenly on a bike instead, and passing through a subdivision. I needed to get on this next street outside the subdivision, and it was going uphill and there was a forest on the other side of it. There was just tons of green and trees and forests around. When I got to the street, I checked the road before riding out onto it. As I was biking down the road, three cars were behind me and couldn't pass me. So I biked to the side of the road and stopped to let them pass.One of them did pass, but the others did not. So I hesitantly got back on the road and continued on. Eventually, the road was changing to a gravel road, then a dirt road, then just damp forest ground. I kept biking uphill, and then I started do see a lake up ahead, and this road divided the lake in two. I don't think it was very deep, because I could see the bottom, and there were cattails and long blades of grass in it. I kind of felt like swimming. Some parts looked kinda murky, and marshy, so I didn't think I wanted to swim in it. This lake reminded me of one from over the summer.As I passed through this lake, I found myself in an open field, and then I saw two mountain lions. I started to get a little nervous, because one of them was eating something that looked like a dead person. These lions were by a lone tree in the middle of this field. As I biked closer, I heard them talking to each other, and also saw a big dead gray snake by them. They mentioned eating a baboon, orangutan, and some type of bird. I didn't realize it in the dream, but they were mentioning species that were not native to this habitat. But neither were these mountain lions. The forest sounded quiet in this area, and I thought that it was because the lions killed off a significant portion of the wildlife there. I heard some birds but not many. I then was biking parallel to them, and eventually was leaving this field. For some reason the dead snake got caught on my bike, and I frantically tried pulling it off, and succeeded after a while. After I left this field I woke up. So, this was after getting lots of sleep vs only the amount I'm supposed to on Everyman. But I think I'm back on my schedule, so hopefully my body will adjust so I'll have dreams during my core sleep.
I don't have time to elaborate on my dreams now, but I will post some fragments on them: -interlochen friends -driving, being driven, then actually driving myself -biking, and changing lanes and letting cars pass, and biking through this marsh area -lake, marsh area, tripping out -2 talking mountain lions, one of them was eating dead snake, mentioned eating a orangutan too and other animals that didin't fit the habitat around them -michigan -forest areas -driving back to my friends house, knowing the way back (in interlochen) -angry with my mom -at home, annoyed -mood was calm in the michigan area -mood was kinda angry and tense at home
I know I was dreaming last night, and I remember faintly being near a city-type place, but nothing other than that. But, my naps are starting to feel like I'm entering deeper stages of sleep, if not REM. And I am getting more and more hypnogogic imagery, as well as some short blips of dream scenes starting to appear, but then fading away. Generally the appearance of dream images in my naps is increasing, and that I've not been remembering dreams from my core sleep. Although, feeling more adjusted to Everyman than ever, so I think I'm reaching the point where my recall is starting to improve again.
So, yesterday I overslept my core sleep by 4 hours , and then didn't sleep again at all until 3:30 to 6:30am this morning. I had lots of dreams, but only remember one specific part at the moment. I was with one of my friends from interlochen and we were meeting up for the first time since the summer. We were happy to meet up again and I started to say how I mentioned him to some of my friends here, and that I talked about him to my closest friends here. I thought of the music people I've been hanging out with. Then he said he mentioned me to several people he knew, and I got faint visual images of both guys and girls. Outlines of them, and kinda shadowy. This meeting was very vivid, it seemed as if we were actually meeting in real life. We were in some sort of building, possibly black walls, but then with fluorescent cylindrical lights along the corners. We were just standing and talking, and it was from first person as usual. If I remember my other dreams, I'm posting them as well. But it makes me happy that I dreamed vividly on 3 hours of slelep, hopefully tomorrow night will be like this as well
I've been shifting my sleep pattern to Everyman, and in the process I've been getting more and more bits of dreams during my naps. I've not recalled anything from my past two core sleeps, but then again I've been going to bed later than intended. Will try to record dreams sooner after I've had them, and also post a few short ones at some point.
Finally, I'm remembering parts of my dreams from the previous night. For part of a dream sequence, I was in this city at night. I remember being at some event or performance inside a concert hall/theatre, along with the crowd present. Then I remember leaving this theatre building and heading down this dark road in the city (no street lamps or lighting) and having a black cloak on. I might've had some sort of mask on too, and was carrying something but forget what. And my appearance was threatening, and felt tough and assertive. The majority of the crowd was behind me and only a couple people were already in the area I was walking through. I was also around a suburb area near some farm land. It was daytime and the sky was light blue and a few clouds. I was walking to and from places, and there were people around again. I am not sure what my tasks were.
I don't remember anything really specific, although I got almost 8 hrs of sleep. I think I saw a friend, and I remembered where I was earlier today but now I've forgotten .
I was at a variation of my college, and between two dorms for part of it. There was more space, and a large crowd, and maybe some white rectangular structures attached to the dorms. It was during the day too. I was also around this girl from one of my group projects in real life. In the dream, I had an attraction to her (and also in a previos dream) and we were hanging out around this area where there wasn't anyone around. Then we were kissing, but it was unpleasent and almost painful. Just weird. I don't have any feelings towards her in real life so this is just random. I am starting to remember more from naps and my core sleep, so at least my recall is improving. It also seems like I can begin to experiment with having WILDs when I get used to falling asleep to these 20 minute naps.
During my first 20 minute nap I had a couple really short dreams. One of them, I was in 3rd person and saw myself and a group of friends walk through our college of business at night. We entered through the front and exited in the back, and one of my friends asked "We're not going up?" to us all. Or something like it, because she wanted to explore the building. I also attempted a WILD and faintly saw myself in this neighborhood walking on the sidewalk with one of my friends, and there were lots of big pine trees around the houses. This dream was very faded and it wasn't able to sustain itself. There was another quick WILD attempt after it but I forget what I saw or where I was. I also had a quick dream that a couple friends of mine walked passed me in the lounge I was in. I woke up and was thinking "Woa, I just dreamt I saw a couple of my friends down here.
The mood of my dreams was upbeat, but I only recall a couple fragments. Although, I visually remember a faded gold-ish haze to the locations of my dreams, the same kind of gold-ish yellow haze from previous nights. The first one I had a girlfriend in the dream, and we were hanging out somewhere (I can't recall the location) and maybe hugging some too. I think they might've resembled someone I met in real life, but my memory is cloudy. The second one I was sitting at a round table, and a couple girls were across from me and I had told them something shocking and they would'nt believe me. They both were giving me looks like I was crazy. Maybe I told them that aliens were real, I can't remember that it was. Anyway, adjusting to Everyman now, so hopefully my recall will start to improve again soon.
I was hanging out with one of my friends here, possibly in his dorm. But he was different, he was more clear-minded and seemed happier. We talking about something but I forget what it was. I also had a couple other dreams but forget what the are .
I took a roughly 20 minute nap earlier and got hypnogogic imagery, and possibly some dreams. For some reason I started getting images from the Triple X movie with Vin Diesel, with parts from the last ending action scene. I might've had some dreams, but by the time my body was relaxed, and imagery flowing, I just was in a relaxed state. I felt like I awoke from sleep after my alarm went off, so I was in some sort of sleep state. Don't know which though.
I was in a hallway, towards the front, and entered a practice room with my cello. I was the 2nd practice room to the front, on the right side. I remember playing with a strong tone and confidence, and then the first chair cellist came down stairs and went in room one. I was wondering what he thought of my playing after a summer's worth of practice. The hallway was sort of a pasty gold/yellow color and kinda dim. Perhaps there were more music majors down there, I don't quite remember. I was talking to my dad about something, and whatever it was about (I don't remember) it was tense. Maybe we were arguing or something, but I remember that the mood wasn't that happy. Don't remember where it was at, maybe inside somewhere. Got 3 hours of sleep and recall vividly the practice room segment. Starting everyman now so it'll be interesting seeing how it affects my dreams.
I remember having some dreams but also feeling paranoid a lot about not waking up in time for class. I woke up a couple times, once at around 3am and then once at 5-ish. Each time (even though I had several alarms set) I was really paranoid of sleeping through them and missing my 8am class. I only got about 4 hours of sleep, so maybe that was part of it... Will write my dreams later if I remember them.
