Phased

Note for the reader: I am not by nature a very aggressive person, I have been in few fights over my limited lifetime and usually avoid conflict if I can.

I found myself at a family gathering of sorts in an unfamiliar house, with me were a few families that I know, although they aren't known to socialise together often. Me and a friend were sitting in what seemed to be the front room of the home for a while discussing the television when another family arrived through the door, two parents and two children, this was the family of a somewhat distant friend of mine, he was not present. The father of the family quickly approached me and my friend and seemed aggressive, he was hinting towards a party we had had at his home without his knowledge, me and my friend were both confused and before long the father was enraged and yelling at me about how we forced his son into taking illicit drugs.

The next part is where it gets weird. The father was getting in my face and yelling his head off and I immediatly hit him square in the face and he swung back, initiating a fight between us. I seemed to be in control most of the fight, taking hits here and there but I ultimately won, knocking him over. I yelled at him and told him to check his facts before spitting on him and walking out of the building.

DREAM | NON-DREAM


Ok so this was one of my most vivid dreams yet, and I think it was at the end of my longest REM Period of the night as I naturally woke, at about 5.30 AM.


I was skate boarding down a large hill along side a wire fence, with a few friends I know, when one of us slipped off the board, hurting themselves a lot, with half there face cut up badly, and cuts on their arms and legs, it was not the prettiest sight, and it scared the hell out of me. I began to apply first aid (which is not unusual as I have a tier II First aid certificate.) and the others called for an ambulance, there was two different operators on the phone, one was really nice and helpful whilst the other was mean. We were speaking to the nicer one first, who transferred us to the other, we had some sort of argument and then asked to be put back on the line with the other lady. (we said her name, although I forgot this detail.) Once the call was over we waited for the ambulance. Next to the road where the incident happened was a wire linked fence, beyond it was a small hill, a tree and a cricket ground, but I do not remember the cricket ground to well. We began to watch through the fence when a man, presumably from the nearby town approached us, he asked what had happend and asked if it was one of the people who played AFL (Australian Football League, one of the biggest sports here.) we said no, and he let out a sigh of relief and praised the lord. We thought it was kind of rude, but did not do anything of it. Moments after this, the person who had slipped off the board started laughing, we all turned and he stood up, and said "Got you's!" we all got angry, swore at him and I then said "Your paying for all the fee's of the ambulance, and the fine for a prank call, fucker." I was pissed.

The dream then faded, and I awoke, naturally, which was nice.

Friday, 8th of March

Really proud of myself, I have recalled two dreams in two days!

Notes:

Ok, this was like a half awake half asleep dream that took place just before I woke up, so, it was pretty vivid although I moved around a lot when I woke, slowly killing most memory of it.

Dream Fragment 1:

Ok, so I was in some sort of apartment complex or building more like, with my two friends P and C, and we were looking for places to stay, looking around at rooms that were available and having a look inside, all the normal things, the dream then skipped.

Dream Fragment 2:

The dream skipped from us looking to me having an apartment but the others not, they both needed somewhere to stay and I remember telling them that one of them can stay with me, we had some sort of competition to decided who that person would be and the other bad to get their own.

Feelings:

Was feeling pretty happy this morning, good sleep, it's the end of the week, nice weather and a recalled dream to top it all off!

Thursday, 7th of March

First signs of recall! Thanks to all that have helped me out!

Notes:

I remembered two fragments of the same dream I think, they seemed to be fairly similar the first fragment was fairly vivid although the second not so much, overall though I am really happy that I remembered a dream!

Dream Fragment 1:

I remember being Ina computer of some sort and I was playing a game or watching a movie and I got out of it and there was a notification on the screen to join a google talk chat or something so I clicked on join and I went into a conversation with two people on video chat, I only remember one of the faces though, it was a man of white descent with black rimmed glasses and black hair and a stubble, he seemed to be at a video game convention or something similar. Any way we were talking not sure what about I remember my dream character was typing not video chatting. The dream sort of fades there.

Dream Fragment 2:

I remember being at the door of my bedroom and walking through I also remember having the man or maybe both of them from the video chat earlier being in the room with me - not sure if they were actually there or still on a laptop I was carrying or something. I also remember laying on my bed and playing around on a laptop I think. The dream then fades.

Wednesday, 6th of March.

So, I planned on having no alarms on during the night and to give my usually scheduled WILD A brake and work on my recall a bit more avidly. Sadly about 10-15 minutes before my natural waking time a rubbish truck came and woke me up, ruining any chances of recall! Ah well, at least I know this one was not my fault

Tuesday, 4th of March.

Had a horrible nights sleep last night, woke up a lot but from noises and being cold, not from the end of REM Cycles. So, didn't remember and dreams last night, no need to be angry though, nothing I could do about it! I still awoke pretty grumpy how ever as I did have a lack of sleep, still am staying confident on dream recall!

Monday, 4th of March

I did not recall anything last night, I am slowly getting closer to remembering them I think, it is only a matter of time!

Sunday, 3rd of March

Once again another shitty night where I remembered nothing. I woke at about 2AM I had a basic idea of a dream but then it faded and I fell asleep again, this is becoming annoying and frustrating. I need to keep positive though, it's just a matter of time, I suppose.

Tasks for March/April

Attain Lucidity [ ] Improve Dream Recall [ ]

WILD [ ] | DILD [ ]

Saturday, 2nd of March.

Once again I have failed to recall any dreams.. I am going to keep at this though, I don't know what's preventing me from remembering my dreams but I will find out and hopefully brake through it! Also looking for a seed to help me out (based on the Schema theory.)

-I awoke at 3 AM for a shor period of time, I considerd doing a WILD But I don't know what happend, I think I fell asleep.

-Feeling enthusiastic as I wake, trying to keep the frustration of not remembering my dreams at bay.

Friday, 1st of March.

-Sadly, I did not recall any dreams again last night, I need to work on my recall a bit harder.

I awoke feeling fairly normal at first, this turned into frustration as I could not recall my dreams.
