    1. 03.18.2016 Love, cramps and coffee.

      by , 03-18-2016 at 04:21 PM
      I should preface this by saying that for the last two days I have been having a really rough time getting to sleep. I have been waking up all night long and the oddest things have been waking me up. Light coming through my blinds (which is strange because nothing has changed in my room), lights being turned on by family members in other rooms of the house(this never bothered me before) and of course, my nieces running around because of Spring Break. For the last two days I have been on a smoothie/juice and raw diet, and practicing yoga, which has left me pretty tired. Unfortunately, it hasn't been leaving me tired enough to get into a good sleep.
      Last night was the first night this week that I was able to fall into what I consider to be a good sleep. I woke up maybe twice throughout the night, but I was able to return to sleep and dreams.

      After the first waking (got up, drank some water), I fell into a dream about a party. I was with my best friend. We were at what seemed like a club. There were lights flashing and a crowd of people in the dark background. She introduced me to a tall, dark man with a beard and a beautiful nose. I seemed to be enchanted by this man... so much so, that I actually put my hand to his face and stroked his beard. I could actually feel the beard on the back of my hand. (Very weird because I am not into beards, really. Well I wasn't until maybe this morning, lol). I woke up.

      2nd dream...I am in a house with my best friend. We are staying at someone else's home for some sort of vacation. She has a rolling suitcase with her, its black. We are getting ready to leave. She tells me she is having menstrual cramps, and doesn't feel well at all. She says she needs meds and I go to the kitchen to get them. I am stopped by a man, who I call James (?). I, still in a robe, hug him tightly, then place both my hands on his face and ask him if he wants me to make him some coffee. I forget about my friend and start making coffee. I start the coffee and go into the bathroom to get dressed. All of a sudden I am dressed. I bend over to scrunch my hair, and when I stand up, I am a different person. I have long curly blondish hair, kinda poofy, and I am wearing some long earrings. My eyes are green. My face has full makeup and my body- I am a little over average weight, big hips and a small top. (In waking life, I am tall, average weight, tan with long black hair and brown eyes.) I am wearing a denim jacket and jeans...I leave the bathroom like normal. I see a two other guys standing around, waiting for me- because we are supposed to be leaving. I put both my hands out and kind of tickle one of them and tell him, "ok let's go". I am about to walk out of the front door when I remember the meds for my friend, who is a little grouchy because she has waited so long. I head back to the kitchen and ask her which medicine she prefers and she tells me she wants Tylenol and "the sweet one". I know what that is apparently and I reach into the cabinet to get two packets of meds from two boxes. There is a third box and I think she needs that, too. I am about to get the last packet when I wake up. At that point I just feel sad that I didn't get to give my friend the meds because she is sick.

      The first dream seemed very real. However, as I was waking up I could feel that it wasn't. I woke up quickly and didn't slip back into the same dream.

      In the second dream, once my outer appearance changed, I knew it was a dream. However, instead of waking up and taking control, I just kept going along with it like it didn't matter. I felt like I was going along to to see where it went. I can remember a lot of details about the "new girl" because I was so surprised. Her face is very clear in my mind.

      However... I am wondering what happened to the coffee for James, lol.

    2. #112: Language cafe & fragments

      by , 03-18-2016 at 03:58 PM
      Language cafe
      I'm at a social gathering / semi language cafe. The coordinator is my thesis supervisor. He makes two groups and splits us up using a wall divider. One side is for people who want to speak in different languages, the other side for people who just want to talk to others. On my side of the wall are perhaps 6 people. I think I end up speaking some Spanish, despite my Spanish being shitty in real life. At a certain point the divider is removed. My classmate Kristen is with some people on the other side of it. She starts crying because the person she was talking to left. She's crying because she just wanted to meet someone and her plan fell through. She's totally burned out. I think my thesis supervisor tries to comfort her, though at this point he may have also turned into one of the other lecturers, who isn't capable of being very supportive.

      Fragments
      » I'm at a camping site. Several of my friends are there. It's already a bit dark out and it's quite a mess around here. As if a multi-day festival just took place... or a flood. We're working on inflating my mattress. It's quite a big thing. You can even open it using a zipper and then store your bags inside for safekeeping. There's also a flute looking attachment which you can use to manually inflate it a bit more. I recall talking to a guy I haven't met before, but I'm not sure what it was about.

      » I'm at a train station. I was sitting on the train, but a bit panicly came out. I think because I was afraid to miss my stop. Whilst walking the length of the platform my grey hat gets blown from my head and lands on the train tracks perhaps 5 or 10 metres away. It instantly combusts, though it partially survives. Physically I don't respond to this at all. In my mind I think it sucks, cause I bought that one in Indonesia. It is my own fault. I could feel my hat shifting a little bit due to the wind, but did nothing to stop it. The second pull is what made it fly away.

      » We've gone on a trip with our class and now we're headed back.. by bus? We're going back to the central meeting point. One girl is disappointed by that, cause her house is in the opposite direction.

      » I'm with some classmates. One of them is making a fuzz over having kissed one of our classmates.

      » I'm sitting in class. Two of my classmates are arguing and eventually it resorts to one of them being silent and the other intermittently shouting "why won't you listen to me?!" or something along those lines. After a while the lecturer threatens to stop the lecture if my classmate doesn't stop interrupting it. My classmate says he'll be cool, but in the end.. nope.

      It was an early summer afternoon. I was going back home from school. I looked at the dark, cloudy sky - thunderstorm was coming. I was with group of classmates, but on the way they all dispersed except for a blonde dude. As I was getting closer to my home, I felt arising danger. Suddenly a local drunk of my hometown appeared. He was driving a car - it was a silver Volkswagen car. He was driving in my direction and smiling ominously.

      He hit me with the car and I landed on my back in a wayside trench, hitting ground with my head. It happened so quick that I only felt car hitting my body and ending down the trench, I haven't felt pain. The thunderstorm started, it was raining and thunders shot across the sky. I couldn't move, everything went black. Water quickly filled the trench, I tried to hold my breath, thinking if that blonde dude would get me out of the water. He didn't, I tried to hold my breath but I managed to do it only for a short while. The water was cold, it filled my lungs and body quickly, I have drowned. The feeling of cold water on my skin and lying down there, filled with the liquid - my last sensations were somehow calming, even pleasurable.

      Suddenly I found myself on the roadside. The clouds have dispersed, but it was still grim. I entered my house and felt like going to toilet. I entered it and in place of toilet seat I saw a huge pink stroller. I thought about a monster that could possibly hide inside the stroller, but then with another thought I declined such possibility. Suddenly random people appeared from nowhere, and the place quickly changed from a toilet in my house to a hotel room. It was a bit modestly, but modernly furnished. People prepared to drive for a trip while I was just waking up. I thought that it's good that I have a contract with travel agency, as they give me 10% of their profit for taking guests.

    5. Bad dream

      3.18.16

      Last night bed around 10pm. Woke up from nightmare at 1:26am.

      I don't remember having this nightmare since childhood. A few nightmares about churches, but not this same feeling.

      DR
      I'm in a church thats illuminated by soft yellow light of many candles. There is some force that I'm desperately trying to stay away from. I know it knows I am there, but I'm trying really hard to stay away from it's sight.

      There is some singing and I either sing or participate in the last song that I'm still humming when I wake up. It's a well known classical piece.

      I'm quickly putting away a chair behind a curtain in a room, not wanting to be seen. Then I quickly kneel on a side of large bed with other people. It's some kind of a ritual, not in a bad way, more like celebrating or rather commemorating. Jesus/baby Jesus is on the bed, or just a representation of him. Bed sheets are yellow/golden and white, same as everything else in 2 rooms I can see. The bed is large, it fills up the whole small room. This room doesn't have walls on at least 2 sides, only corners, and golden/whitish heavy drapes are hanging in these corners.

      I never see this force, but the image of it I have is that it's something taller than avarage human. It never really hurt me, I don't know why I am so scared of it. The childhood recurring dream with same force is me walking around the neighborhood at night and this force being there as well.

    6. Huge Walleye

      by , 03-18-2016 at 09:18 AM
      Morning of March 18, 2016. Friday.



      This is a typical and easily decoded fishing dream (though my views on this common dream situation have changed somewhat over the years with new realizations and additional evidence) where I “expect” to catch a very large fish and do hook one but wake before fully reeling it in. I am near a bridge in an unknown region. The bridge is fairly high from the area near the shore where I go to fish. (A bridge typically represents either deeper dream entry or waking, but I do not utilize it here in any way.)

      I soon hook into a giant walleye, which is between twenty and thirty feet long (which is of course, ridiculous, especially as it stays on my line the whole time). I slowly reel it in and it splashes near the surface, filling spectators with awe. Its tail sweeps up from the surface, whale-like.

      An unknown man and his annoying large dog appear on the scene. I am not sure of what breed of dog it is, but it is possibly a Doberman. The man seems oblivious to the large fish I am reeling in.

      Soon, feeling amused, I deliberately reel the fish towards the dog, which is splashing in the water a few feet from shore. The big fish rises up from the water and swallows the dog in one gulp (the fish directly facing me as he does so). The man looks bewildered. I feel no regret and actually have to hold back laughter. In a short time, the water starts to lower somewhat, which represents the instigation of the waking process (and has as such since very early childhood, the first documented instance being in 1965).



      As I have found even more evidence that well serves the meaning, I will still note that fish have different meanings depending on the situation, as does a whale, even transitory meanings - for example, a large fish is the essence (and projection) of the dream self until caught by the dream self where it then becomes the emergent consciousness in being pulled from the dream state. This dream uses the “swallowing the dream remnants” transition and is analogous to the “Pinocchio” story on one level. Carefully considering the elements, I typically see a large fish or a whale as a dream self projection while it is in water (especially going deeper into a body of water). However, the giant fish in this dream is actually my emergent consciousness rising from the dream state (body of water) to swallow the dog (dream remnants and dream self projection, which are rendered as annoying and “intrusive” concerning my dawning awareness in getting closer to waking). This relates directly to the “Pinocchio” story, confirmed by the fact that Pinocchio is “not a real boy” (until the end of the story) and is thus solely the dream self rather than a thread or projection of the conscious self (the latter as with apex lucidity where the conscious self is almost completely aware, fully in the dream body, and fully in control). The whale or emergent consciousness swallows the dream self, instigating the waking transition. Swallowing is a form of coalescence of dream self and waking self and if you believe the theory of how complex cells came to evolve (through engulfed bacterium) then it makes even more sense.

      This pattern of dream meaning can be seen in a few dreams; the boa swallowing Danny (as he was on a scaffold which also represents getting closer to waking), the miniature lion swallowing our daughter, a very large catfish swallowing an unknown male, and so on, all during the waking transition, including even the one where each larger box “swallows” each smaller box in a series.

      1) Some sort of very long dirve with my children to get some lunch. We had lunch then started driving back. A waitress came up to the side of the car as we were driving with another portion of food. there was a lot more to this dream I wish I could remember it.

      2) In some sort of concrete underground structure with our dog. He wandered over to an elevator in the corner and there was a woman there who sent him back to us. Then a very large muscled man came over and was stroking the dog. He suddenly slapped my wife very hard across the arms. I knew I couldn't do anything phyically so shouted 'Do you mind?' and e looked shocked and walked away, my wife didn't seem too bothered.

      3) Talking on the phone in a corridor in some sort of college. 4 students raced up and grabbed the phone. I recognised them and knew I had just seen them on TV they were going to take part in some amazing magic event (I read about Paul Daniels dying today). I was excited to see them and was going to ask if I could join in, it was so exciting.

      4) An old work colleague had moved to a flat in London opposite the Royal London Hospital. In the background I could see the HEMS helipad. He was building his own helipad to fly his light aircraft from. He was telling me how his wife had messed up his tunnel to the pad and it was downstairs, he really wanted to come out in the bright sunlight. I looked around his helipad, it looked good I could see all the detail of the metalwork holding the safety netting around the edge. He was talking to me and I decided I needed some cups of tea, I poured the first 2 into cups then the next one into a cat basket, and the next into something else soft - they soaked up all the tea so I decided it wasn't the best idea.

    8. super dosing melatonin

      by , 03-18-2016 at 04:31 AM
      I have had two nights in a row of dreaming of meteors appearing in the sky in the daytime, looking like jet contrails but there are thousands of them in every direction. Well...i also dreamed of zombies too... so there ya go. I love melatonin. It's like tripping on mushrooms in your sleep.

    9. Old friend

      by , 03-18-2016 at 02:37 AM
      I dreamt I was visiting some friends in Canada, that recently had to move back. We had arrived at their Tae-Kwon Do school, one was wearing his dobak with a camo belt (a kids rank) I was really confused becuase he's a third degree and out ranks a kids rank? I walked up to him and smiled and said hi. He smiled back and gave me a really big hug. I told him I couldn't go to class becuase I had to get settled, he started walking with me back to the house where we were all staying. "What are you doing," I ask. He replies,"I don't want to go to Tae-Kwon Do." Which really confused me becuase we're all obsessed with it. He then gives me a really big hug and tells me he missed me. I then smile and wake up.

      17/3/16:
      Fragment: Something with Bernie Sanders

      Dream 1: I was at uni and I kept on running into all of these people I either hadn't seen in ages or were part of the year level above me in high school. I ran into a couple of girls who were in my media class and after a little bit they recognised me and we started talking. It was little awkward but not too bad. I then went off and sat down with a few other people to work on some group project.

      Dream 2: I had to get some magical item for a bunch of Nords. I think the way I was doing it was much more complicated than it needed to be, and they were pointing this out to me but I stubbornly continued on the path I had chosen.

      Dream 3: There were a bunch of students discussing all of the bad substitute teachers they had had over the years. They were boasting about the worst they had ever had, however one person mentioned a 'Ms Oag' who was far and away the worst teacher of all time.

    12. What happened? Wild 🌠

      by , 03-17-2016 at 09:24 PM
      My first Wild with clasical mile stones recognised as they are clearly manifesting

      So here I am going back to sleep when i would usually be getting up✨After several short wbtb's and lots of dreams

      I chant my mantra " Now I lucid dream" and imagine myself writing these words in the space of my mind

      I slipped into a dream for a while set here in my home - then I wake up in my bed and can feel/observe myself rocking my body very evenly,with a gentle rhythmic energy of flow, from side to side, I feel exited about this as more and more I am realising it's not my physical body that's rocking ...around that time I start to hear the " noise" ( a loud high pitch sound mainly ) I am able to carry on focusing mainly on the rocking but then remember I need to put my mind into the dream world ... I need to imagine the scene ...NOW!... So I imagine my hand turning the cold handle of the large colourful door( I am very aware this is a switch in mind focus I have not done consciously before with such confidence). As I am turning the handle and feeling the presence of myself within this place/scene/dream I start also to become aware I am moving out of my physical body with ease✨

      I carry on with this and move away from my body and down the hatch of the attic room. I jump down the hatch and it is so very realistic I almost don't believe it's a dream for a moment - but I know with full confidence it is because I had just Wilded in

      After a year of doing wbtb's etc and knowing one day this day would come - thanks Sageouse and Gab and others but most of all thanks to me for carrying on with something I love ( ✨ ✨)

    13. #212 - Deck wars

      by , 03-17-2016 at 09:00 PM (The Oneironaut's Odyssey)
      Dream
      It all happened in my parents house, there were 2 teams split by the top deck and the downstairs. Also, the stairs which lead downstairs from the outside deck were in the old place (they've been moved since last year). I was on the top deck team, I kept my guard up as I had a feeling we'd be getting attacked soon. I hid in a corner by the door and just as one of the enemies approached the door I slammed my hand on the window of the door, right where his face was looking through. He gets jump scared and dashes backwards, I chase after him and in his panicked state he jumps off the deck to the bottom of the stairs and break his ankles. I won! Yay! But then I realize that I should probably get help.. I go call for my dad and he comes down the stairs in the wetsuit he uses for surfing.

    14. Mission to return home (Another Video Game Dream)

      by , 03-17-2016 at 08:31 PM
      I had a dream that every Dragon Age inquisition character was with me in this world and they needed me to take them back to their world. Therefore I joined a dangerous group, so I could gather information. Then I got info there this group has operating teleporting portals that has to power to teleport to different place in this world and other worlds as well. So we decided to break into the boss's house. We sneaked pass the guards and then we went into the boss's room, In the room there was a metal door with a security code lock, we broke the lock and then the alarms went off.
      Then behind the door there was a small round pool and inside the pool glowed green (which was actually the portal) . So one by one I sent the others to jump through the portal. The guards were closing in and before I jumped into the portal I made sure it would self destruct.

      Then we teleported somewhere that looked like an empty watch tower. So we rested there, there were tables there and towels to dry ourselves off. So I sat on a table, infront of me Iron Bull was sitting and beside me was Solas.
      We were talking about somethings (which I can't remember) But then I remember telling Solas that, "I can understand you quite well." He then asked, "Really?" I remember giving him a smirk and then I told him things that I knew about him and things I understood from him. He just looked at me, silent, and I looked back at him. He then extended his hand towards my face, I thought he was going to kiss me but instead he just pulled back some of my hair infront of my face saying, "You shouldn't let your hair cover your eyes so much, it will weaken your eyesight."

      I vividly remember my heart beating faster that moment and my cheeks becoming red.

      After we rested, we continued our mission and we jumped through more portals. Then I remember we were running away from the enemy when suddenly I fell down into the water and then woke up.

    15. [17-03-2016]

      by , 03-17-2016 at 04:23 PM (Snehk's Dreamlands)
      It was a cloudy and rainy afternoon. I was in a forest road, driving a car. My sister was a passenger. At first we were in a black Audi car, but then it turned into fiat 125p. Something broke in a car that was blocking whole way. I drove a bit closer and some people appeared and used chain so I could take that car out of way. Suddenly I found myself in my backyard, inside fiat and with Audi chained to my car. I saw a blonde dude from my class coming and then drove to deliver the vehicle to it's new owner.

      On the way I saw a burning flat, and saw that my car turned into a bicycle. I delivered the car and drove back to flats, looking for the arsonist with a police squad. Nobody knew where to look, but then I saw a man in gray jacket suspiciously entering a house. I followed him and he said "Ok you've got me, I am the arsonist. Just don't tell anyone and I'll let you go.". I took a fork out of my pocket and held it like gun. He took it out of my hands, and police squad entered just in time. I disarmed him and took to the police station, to close him in jail. Officers congratulated me for a well done action.
