    1. Scattered Stuff

      by , 04-07-2012 at 04:52 PM
      First

      I Take a walk in the forest with bunch of people. I turn back at some point and go back alone. When I get to a town, there's snow on a low lying area next to it. I play with the snow for a while and notice someone closeby. I don't want her to see me, so I try hiding in the snow again.

      Second

      I'm at a store or a restaurant with a buffet. I'm just socializing and don't eat much but I take a piece of sushi so that the owner doesn't get too mad.

      Third

      I'm making bread, spreading butter of rye bread without warming it first. My wife asks why and I say I just forgot.

    2. Swimming in Water and Snow

      by , 04-06-2012 at 01:28 PM
      I'm at a bay and someone is showing me a new submarine they've invented, where you can just step out and go swimming. I go for a ride and go every once in a while when I see something interesting I go out of the submarine to have a look.

      I land on the other side of the bay, where there is a forest. A woman drives there on a car. She breaks and leaves long tire tracks on the snow. I jump out of the boat and into the snow. For some reason I don't want to be seen and try to hide by burrowing in the snow. I cannot hide myself completely, there's not enough snow for that.

    3. Digital Camera

      by , 04-05-2012 at 08:30 AM
      I remembered a full dream in the morning but was a bit sick and really tired, so I just fell back to a hazy sleep and forgot.

      Second

      I'm taking pictures with a digital camera that has something like 20*20 pixels and is black and white. When I take the picture of a ball, a black pixelated circle with a white background appears on the screen.

    4. Problems with Water

      by , 04-04-2012 at 10:46 AM
      First

      I'm in a bunch of people that are being moved from a city to another area, where the water is clean. We need to stand on boxes and they are using an excavator to throw us into a truck. A womans leg is severed in the process and flies of the truck. A young girls asks if she is alright and she say it's okay, since there will be clean water where they're taking us.

      The destination seems to be a large concrete facility. There is a large pool of water flowing trough the building. The girl is swimming with the woman, with her leg now back in place. They are happy to be able swim but the water is not good for drinking. We go looking for drinking water.

      Second

      I'm in a store and there is a counter with drinks, coffee and such. The others order what they want and when it's my turn I just want water. There is a self service automat for water but what comes out seems moldy and dirty. I ask what's going on and a service person gives my water from the faucet in the kitchen.

      After we get the drinks we apparently need to pay them at the checkout. I join the line even though I just have water. I don't know if it costs anything.

      Third

      At the coffee place with N. I see the name of a comic their selling. It's in some language I only speek a little. N notices it and tells me what one of the words in the title means. I know another one and we are happy we have decoded the whole title. We sit at a table with three other people. The seem to be speaking at least two different languages. I comment about on of them, a gir, being able to speak three European languages, but not English, which I think is weird since English is so usefull. She understands me and replies to me in Finnish. I'm impressed since she actually knows four European languages.

    5. Subway Train, Looking for a Restaurant

      by , 04-03-2012 at 07:34 AM
      First

      I’m at a subway station, above the ground, near the outskirts of a city. There are others there. A train comes and we board it, though I think it might be going the wrong way. I look at the scenery and at some point I notice a time table with the names of the stops. The train is going the right way.

      Second

      I’m in the city. I was inside with a group of people but can’t remember what I was doing. Now I’m outside, walking around and looking for a restaurant. I come across a university building with alleyways and public areas and decide to check them out. There are winding stairs leading down to where the street level is on the other side of the building, but I’ve already been there and there are no restaurants there. So I walk around the alleyways.

    6. Meditation class

      by , 04-02-2012 at 05:14 PM
      During a short nap, I’m doing a meditation practice I’ve been experimenting with. I open my eyes and I’m in a large room that reminds me of a yoga class. Someone is explaining the practice as we go.

    8. Late from My Wedding and in a Museum

      by , 04-01-2012 at 07:15 AM
      First

      I’m checking that everything is ready for my wedding the next day. We have a rehearsal in a moment. Everything seems ready and I head towards the church, on the other side of a park. When I’m almost there someone comes to tell me that the wedding is already today and I need to get dressed. We don’t have much time and I say I might need some more help. Some random male guest who happens to be there volunteers.

      We go back to the building where the party will be but it’s already locked. We go to the other side and I climb the fire escape and go trough a hatch. It’s very small, I can fit trough it but it takes some time. In the meantime the others figure out a way to get in and are putting things ready. I get in.

      Second

      I’m in some kind of a museum in an old building with a group of people. Apparently some of us are really interested in the place and some of us, including me, are completely bored. I think the scenery on the third floor could be good and decide to check it out with another person. There are some paintings in the second floor.

      When I get to the third floor I realize I’m afraid of heights and the floor is very thin. It makes a “thud” sound on every step. It also starts waving and moving. I notice many people are moving around on their knees. I do the same.

      A girl who was in the group is standing near the side of the roof. She’s speaking with two others on the ground. We decide to join them downstairs and I go down to the second floor and leave the building. Somehow I’m on the other side of the street from the building I just exited. There’s a tram line on the street and I need to evade them when I cross the street.

    9. House in a Forest and Running Monks

      by , 03-30-2012 at 07:30 AM
      First

      I'm at a house in a forest. There is some kind of a game going on, where people enter the house one by one to do a task. I don't remember much about the task itself. During it I think someone is implicated of a crime. After I come out I wander around the house on a path. There are some monsters that try to attack me. I think I'm with someone at this point. I have some first person shooter type weapons but they are not very effective. I'm able to keep them at bay, though, mostly kicking and throwing them. At some point the weapons turn into animals.

      Second

      I'm with a bunch of people at another house next to the woods. I think my family is there, but there are others as well. We're going to check out the other cabin. I'm walking faster that the others, singing. I ask someone for the lyrics when I forget.

      When we get there, there is a lake. Apparently the water has come down a lot and people are worried for the ecological balance of the area. The trees around the lake are almost dead and break easily. We go somewhere to investigate this.

      Third

      A man, who has implicated of some crime in the first dream, is a reporter and he is ordered to go to some totalitarian country. He should be able to get in even though he now has a criminal record, but there is some doubt. A guard is fiddling with the system, trying to help him, but he doesn't get in. The guard calls for security and a large officer comes. The officer apparently knows the reporter and they were supposed to meet, so all is going according to plan.

      Just outside the border control area there is a sport field. I'm in the audience looking at some people from the authoritarian country preparing for a running contest against a group of Tibetan buddhist monks.

    10. Boardgame on the street

      by , 03-29-2012 at 08:53 AM
      First

      I'm with a friend and we meet a third person on the street. He has a board game and invites us to play. We play a couple of turns and then one of the dice gets stuck of the side of the table. It's kind of spongy and its hard to make out the number. It kind of climbs back on the table. This starts a new phase in the game and the third person doesn't want to continue. I still go on playing with my friend, but we need to see the board from above.

      Were playing in the middle of a street and there is a bridge on top of us. We enter a building to get to the bridge and start climbing up. We reach the to of a tower and there's a bell. The bell starts ringing. Then I suddenly dangle on the bell and try to get down. I manage to get back on the stairs and we go back to the street. We have forgotten about the game at this point, though.

      Second

      I'm in a large building with my family and some others. I have a lot of laundry to do, at least two machinefuls. My socks are wet and I change them and put them in the laundry. Later, I'm loading the second machineful and my socks are wet again. I change them again and put them in the machine.

      Then we leave on a bus. Everyone else is going somewhere and I've backed my packbag too, but I'm going back to the house. They get of the bus at some stop and I stay on it.

    11. Flying with Ghosts and a False Awakening

      by , 03-28-2012 at 11:12 AM
      The third lucid dream since starting the journal. Again, I seem to be lucid straight from the beginning. Before going to bed I was thinking I’m going to just lose consciousness just for a while and become conscious in a dream.

      I'm flying trough the sky somewhere where the lowest clouds would be. I'm clearly aware that I'm dreaming. The sky is clear and I can see the ground very well. There are lakes and rivers and hills. I fly over a haunted house and take a closer look. There is a ghost flying around the house. The ghost decides to follow me. I get a little scared because the ghost my catch up with me and I don't know what would happen then. So I turn up and the ghost just passes by.

      I continue up to the sky, wanting to go to space. I seem to approach some kind of a limit and the dream shifts. I'm in the bedroom. I'm still flying, and I try going trough the roof, but cannot.


      I'm in my bed now. It's very realistic, I can feel the blanket and everything. I feel hot. The scene flickers a bit and I see some hallucinations. I, maybe correctly, identify them as hypnagogic hallucinations, but fail to realize that I cannot be awake. I see images floating in the room, pictures of things. There is a grill in the bedroom, and the cover part starts moving, flying in the air and making a sound. I'm getting a little scared, this is not really supposed to happen when I'm awake.

      My wife wakes up and I ask my her if she sees these things. She says that she doesn't. I figure it's going to pass sooner or later, and it's not really dangerous. My phone rings and there is a message on the screen. "My husband left me." It's some relative, and it's actually a conference call with some other relatives listening as well, as she's explaining the situation. My wife is on her phone and she gives me a knowing look. She's talking with the husband.

      I notice it's not really late, not even midnight yet. So I listen for a while.

      I wake up for real and do a reality check this time.

    12. Ships

      by , 03-27-2012 at 10:48 AM
      First

      I'm on a ship scouring the sea. It's actually a very small sea, more of a lake or a pond. I'm diving there and looking at the rock formation in the bottom.

      Second

      I'm on an airship as it launches, looking out the window. It flies above the clouds and I see other ships launching every few seconds outside. Some of them, shaped like fighters, aerodynamically, turn their noses up and shoot up towards space. My ship continues above the clouds, it's probably a normal passenger airplane, though a very big one.

      Third

      I'm at the shore of a river, shooting ships with an old cannon. There are others as well, and we are trying to defend a fortress. We don't have any ammo, but we do have some gunpowder, so we use anything we can find. I shoot a kettle at a ship and it get damaged. It doesn't turn back but at least it stops for a moment. I to shoot other things at it, but they don't really work.

    13. Coffee Break with Dinner, Running After a Criminal

      by , 03-25-2012 at 12:20 PM
      First

      A woman is explaining something to someone else. It was about something mechanical, I don't remember what exactly.

      Second

      I'm at work and we're having a coffee break. It's not in the normal coffee room, but at a larger one, in another building. There is also a group of people there that I don't know, but apparently they belong to the same organization, they just organized the coffee break this time.

      There's some food also, but the breaks seems to be over and all the food has been eaten. I'm kind of hungry and I'm looking for something left over. There is a kind of a buffet at another part of the room, but there isn't much left there either. There's some rice in a kettle and some vegetables. They even have a waitress working there, for the coffee break, and she's putting things away. She says something to me about there being nothing left.

      Third

      I'm going on a trip with a group of people. One of us cannot cross some border because he doesn't have the appropriate medical papers. We talk about it and decide that he can see a doctor and join us in a day or two. When we come back, i believe a week or so later, he is still at the border station. He has been to the doctor but he has some minor health problem and getting the papers will take some time.

      Fourth

      I'm with a group, possibly the same as in the previous dream. We park out car at a small parking lot, next to a large mall. We go in and there is a carriage that belongs to the owner of one of the cars outside. I try to lift it and think that it's too heavy. At this point I'm aware that a crime has happened and I suspect there's something hidden in the carriage.

      We go back outside and talk to the owner of the carriage, a young man. We have no proof but I try to intimidate him by mentioning the weight of the carriage. He gets scared and runs away, towards the woods. I run after him and some of the others are running too, but they're a bit farther away. I cannot see him but a follow a trail. The train splits and I ask one of the others to check the other way.

      There is an opening in the woods and I see him. He tries to run around me and turn back, trying to trick me somehow. I circle a bit farther than he did to force him to run on the path, where on of the others catches him.

      There is a group of young people standing nearby, they were playing before we came. One of them, X, a girl a bit younger than me, wants to join us, thinking it's a game. I tell her that I can try to catch her but if I do, we throw her in jail. She runs towards me and starts to pretend I've caught her.

    14. A Wedding, Bus, and Casually Boarding a Spaceship

      by , 03-24-2012 at 04:54 PM
      First

      I’m at the L’s wedding. She’s waiting just outside the chapel with her spouse, they’re going in in just a couple of minutes. Apparently I’m the bridesmade, since I’m standing next to her with a feeling that everything is ready. There is a camera just inside, pointed towards the pair, and she wants me to spin her just when the video starts. We practice a few times, but she always goes to a different direction than I’d wanted. I try to tell her the same way every time, but we don’t get it to work.

      Second

      We’re in a bus with a group of students. There is and exchange student with us and he’s talking on the phone. At some point he wants everyone to talk with the person on the phone, and when it’s my turn, I just say “Hi”. A woman answers “Hi!”. “How are you doing?” I ask. “How are you doing?” she answers. I give up and give the phone to the next person.

      Third

      I’m with a group of friends checking the new edition of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. It’s looks like a golden statue. It’s not out yet, they’re just showing it of right now. We leave on a spaceship. The inside of the ship looks like that of a bus. We take seats and start talking about something.

    15. Theater performance

      by , 03-23-2012 at 08:58 AM
      I’m at a theater, watching a play. The stage is huge, it consists of three or four large normal stages next to each other, each with a different setting. The action in the play is moving to the right, and I’m following. I’m pretty close to the play, not on a seat, but maybe on stage itself. It’s a romance, there is a man and a woman, they’re talking. I don’t remember the plot, but they woman is about to leave, and they may never see again. The man doesn’t want this to happen.

      As they are moving to the right, the male actor changes two times. He just gives a white scarf to the new actor, otherwise dressed exactly the same way, and stands still. The new actor becomes active and continues the role. The lighting of course follows the active actor. They seem to have slightly different skills and styles of acting.

      The woman leaves and the male actor changes for the last time. This one is a singer and starts singing a love song to the woman he lost. I’m surprised at how good he is, there is no background music to give him rhythm or melody.
