    1. 091115: Rush to the Airport, Creeps Outside, a Church?

      by , 11-09-2015 at 08:18 PM (The Dream Journal)
      Scene 1
      Rushing to the Airport
      I'm outside, dark outside, in the center of a suburban area of a large city. I have to make it to the airport, I try to find a bus I can take there. I look and look and somehow jump onto one.
      I make it to the airport. Do I make it on board? I'm travelling with a group of people, feels like class from a school.
      In the lobby of the airport, it is busy, shops around, I see a Pizza hut with a really old Jurassic Park promo pizza stand. Lucky they kept it this last 20 years, now with Jurassic World out.

      I'm outside again, it's sunny outside, morning, and I'm where a friend of mine used to live. I get on a bus, but it costs almost 10 euros to make it to the airport. Confused, I give the driver a 50 and get on. As an female inspector checks my ticket, I think there must be some confusion, a ticket can't cost that much. As I turn to get to the driver I get out of the bus to let a person pass me to get out and the bus takes off. I'm going to miss my flight! I call another friend of mine who was with me (apparently) who was on the bus and has my change from the fifty. She says she is too busy to come and give me the money back. Now I'm stuck here, missing my flight and penniless.

      Scene 2
      Creeps Outside my Childhood Home
      I'm in my old room at night. My bed is by the window. I can see outside into the night, light on in the other apartments. I feel cold, as if the window is not really there. I think that's absurd, it has to be there, otherwise I'd fall out.
      I look down at the people walking, I'm in an apartment way higher than it really was. Looking down at the people walking below I feel safe. I then see a person carrying a person on his shoulder, the person is a woman and clearly passed out or dead. He drags her to a puddle on the icy street and leaves her there, as if dumping her there. Should I call someone? Has this guy committed a crime? The guy then goes and passes out in a puddle a few steps away. The woman gets up and drunkenly tries to push the guy out of the puddle. They are just drunk, no need to worry.

      I'm on the big blue sofa in the living room trying to sleep. My mom is sleeping on the sofa behind me. I hear a crash and some commotion and see that a man and a woman, both drunk, have come in. Who are they? Despite not knowing them I don't panic, I only hope they don't wake up my mom. I get up and go to the kitchen. The guy is a bearded guy in his thirties., his eyes are drooping. I ask him who he is and what's up, pretty non-nonchalantly. He says he's been up in a bar with his girlfriend all night. (It is morning, greyish light can be seen through the kitchen windows.

      I see that his girlfriend has passed out on a sofa bed across from the blue sofa. She is apparently a family friend who is visiting and has brought a guy over she met in a bar. Kind of rude.

      Scene 3
      Tigers and Messed Up Turtles
      I walk outside, grey day in front of my childhood home, the same apartment. I see tigers playing with a bunch of string just like cats. Tigers are really rare, awesome that my housing complex is one of the few groups that has some as pets. I hear documentary footage commentary about the nature of growling.

      A little further on the play park in the next yard, on the grass I see a group of turtles, a mom with babies, walking. They are pretty weird looking, all greenish-brown and wrinkly, remind me of snapping turtles. The mother comes up to me and snaps at my heals. A family, like the Vine family Ehbee's, are playing with puppies with a remote-controlled car.

      Scene 3
      Serial Killing Couple
      By a lake, see a summer house. There is a TV connected to really long cables. There are puddles everywhere. I think Garfield and Friends is playing on the TV? I try to carry the TV to safety but I drop it into a puddle, I quickly pull it out, hope it isn't broken.

      On the summer house veranda, I see a couple, ideal and perfect looking. The woman says she got together with the guy because they can kill together, the only thing that gives any of them pleasure. I find the juxtaposition oddly disturbing.

      Scene 4
      The Church
      My sister is graduating? In a church, I see that there are only two guys in her graduating class of almost 30. They begin to sing Gaudeamus Igitur, I see some of the people are struggling with it. By the altar I see a piece of paper with the Latin lyrics. I see an English translation under them and it translates "Gaudeamus igitur" as "The Matchstick" and the rest of the lyrics are about light. Is this supposed to be some kind of metaphor?

      At my mom's house, see my sister, a grey day outside, I go down the stairs. Lots of people there, getting ready for the graduation ceremony?

      Back at the church I see a couple of kids I knew from church as a kid. They are grown now and plot an evil revenge plot on a teacher of mine for marrying their mom. I see Tess from "Touched By An Angel". She is getting ready to get married in the near future. I look into her eyes and ask her if she can do anything to stop this plot.
    2. Bright lights shining at my bed through my ceiling (non lucid)

      by , 11-09-2015 at 08:05 PM
      Pretty bizarre dream last night. 2nd ufo type dream that I have had in 5 years.

      I was in my bed and seemingly woke up by a very bright light that was piercing through my ceiling and shining it's intense brightness onto me and illuminating my entire bedroom. I had no fear or other emotions, which is a good thing I suppose.

      I'm not sure how I got outside next, but I was in different clothes and had on boots that I don't own in real life. I was walking around the side yard of my house looking up at the light coming from a circular object in the sky. The light was no longer shining on me. The orb/circle was starting to shine it's light onto different houses, but I was the only person outside.

      I also recall smaller lights breaking off of the main light and the smaller ones entered my house, and then I was strangely back into my house in my bed.

      I then woke up. It was so real feeling that I wasn't sure if I was still dreaming.

      NON LUCID
      *There was a huge storm coming in so I was on the run to find a safe place to take shelter.
      *I had to go through some kind of a huge obstacle course in which I completely prevailed with full confidence. This seems to take place in Nepal.
      *There were two girls who faught over me. This took place at some kind of a huge get together.

While she is speaking, one of my feet are on the outside on the concrete. I know to set a whole lot of water is approaching my foot. So, I consciously remove it before that happens while still listening to my mother talk.

      Keep it up:
      >>Continue activating all of my senses when in conversation. I was extremely close to becoming lucid while in conversation.

      -I "wake up "in my room. The lights are turned off. I hear my brother by my window and there is some girl on the phone; I get up and decide to do reality check by looking at my hands. They seem normal and then spontaneously, another finger pops up. I realize that it's a dream. I think of my Dream Experiments. I say, "Thank you, God, for this lucid dream." (CHECK) I think my next Dream Experiment and say,"God, would you please amplify my lucidity?" Immediately, clarity of my dream heightens tremendously and I can see everything really clearly. (CHECK) I think of my next Dream Experiment. I look at my hands for 20 seconds. My fingers keeps moving and one extra finger pops up on my ring finger. That's all that happens. (CHECK) I think of my next dream experiment. I start jogging in place for 20 seconds. I still feel a little off balance like my previous dreams. But, I am still able to keep it up. (CHECK) I think of another dream experiment and I try to do Thoron. I face towards my bed ahead and see that my bed is split into two with space in the middle. I hold of my right hand with confidence and start trying to gather up electrical energy and shoot it out of my right hand. But, nothing happens. I tried again. But, nothing happens. I noticed that there is any pumpkin by my window above the heater. I look across the hall and see my mom and JJ are talking in my mom's room. I see that the notice me and I close the door. Mom comes to my room with sheets and put them on my bed. I say, "Mom!" as if I'm embarrassed. The dream stops...

    5. Sex and paracetamol and insomnia

      by , 11-09-2015 at 05:56 PM
      Dl1 - At parents house.with lots of people laying on the ground. Have sex multiple times with them. There seems to be some type of form with some of the type written in bold.

      woke 3:30am no sleep till around 5am

      dl2 - Lots more sex with someone at the top of some stairs on a landing.
      dl3 - Placing translucent counters on a gameboard , they are twice correct size.

      I see this as a reflection of my current emotional dullness in some areas, although I had a similar sex one before where it was very disassociated indeed. Certainly another area for development.

    6. #28: Subway / Pool. Swimming pool. / Housemate / Mom...

      by , 11-09-2015 at 09:56 AM
      Subway
      I'm sitting on the subway. There are other people too, but I'm travelling solo. We're at an underground station, reaching a platform. We pass the platform and circle back to the other side. I see Anthony standing on the platform whom I haven't seen for a very long time. The subway doesn't come to a complete stop. I just jump off. There's an object in the subway that stood out to me, but I'm not so sure what it is. My best guess would be a yellow mechanical clock. I walk up to Anthony from behind. I'm just in time to see him land a sideflip. He turns around and we greet each other.

      I'm in a small supermarket, it's just a few square metres. I think I'm still inside the subway station and this is a To Go supermarket. I think it's the brand Plus, though in reality I don't believe they have a To Go supermarket. There are two or three employees inside the shop. As far as I can remember all white guys. Teenagers or early twenties. There's another white guy in the same age range, a customer. He's asking for the AH, a different supermarket which does have a To Go shop and which you'll find in/near some stations. Someone tells him where to find it, though I'm not sure if it's one of the employees. I myself was thinking that if I was the employee I'd try to sell him something.

      At the exit of the shop I'm with AJ, a freerunner. We move through a small area, supposedly parkour style, though in reality it's more like we're moving about from a low squat position and using our arms to hold onto something and then swing forward.

      Somehow this feels like it's part of the same dream. I'm working behind my laptop on something anime related, though I don't remember where I am. The programme I'm working in somehow feels similar to an Adobe programme, in that it feels very professional. I think it's an anime related game. There are 3 things for which I can change the settings. One has to do with an anime girl and the particular sound she makes. I open this setting and I click around on a map that's heavily pixelated and not much more than different shades of pink and salmon. The spot on the map where I click influences her talking. I've clicked near Tokyo (there's nothing about this map that makes it spatial, I just know it's Tokyo), though the indicator seems to have a mind of it's own and moves away a couple of times.


      Pool. Swimming pool.
      I'm at a swimming pool, nothing spectacular, just a regular rectangular one. I can't recall whether it is inside or outside. There's the normal amount of light you'd expect when in a swimming pool. I'm not so sure if I'm myself. This dream is James Bond related. I might be him. There's a woman with him/me in the pool. Somehow I'm under the impression that she's fully dressed in black. They go underwater from one end to the other end. She has a snorkel which she shares. There's something about a kid in the water. He needs to die? Or he serves as a distraction, I'm not so sure. Either way I (no longer connected to JB) jump in to help the kid.

      Housemate
      I'm with my housemate Karen in a room. The room isn't identical to any of the rooms in the house in reality. I think there's a grey carpet though, just like in my room. There's a mattress laid out on the floor and my mini fridge is also placed on the ground, though not in the corner. I want to put on some music, using my iPhone. I use YouTube and in my mind I've selected a Reggae Trap mix. I give my phone to Karen. I'm a little surprised and I think it's a little odd when instead I hear the album Invasion by Savant being played. I quickly let it go though.

      At some point Karen is laying down on the mattress, with her head near where I'm sitting. I sorta crawl over to get something out of the fridge, though I don't remember what. Karen places her hands on my crotch, over my pants. I don't consider this dream like strange, just regular strange and ask her what she's doing, reminding her that we're both in a relationship. That doesn't stop her. Despite me not physically protesting, it doesn't feel like I'm morally doing something wrong.

      I'm standing outside near a small building. I distinctively recall the reddish/brownish bricks I'm doing something on my iPhone. I believe selecting music. I'm standing a few metres away from the backdoor to my student home, which in reality should lead to a balcony. The door is open. I think it's a dark green door with glass in it. I can hear Karen talking to another girl. It's about her moving out to find a place together with her boyfriend. I think of how quick that is, considering that they've been together for just a few weeks. One of the two says that'll free up some space in the kitchen. They come outside. First I thought she was talking to another one of our housemates, but it's a friend of hers. I realise it may seem like I was eavesdropping.

      I'm in a different house, but somehow it feels like part of the same dream. I'm in a living room with Anthony and some other people. I think the door to the outside is open and some people are in the garden. It feels like a sort of goodbye. Anthony hugs a dark skinned girl who is playing the guitar while standing. Somehow she manages to continue playing with Anthony hugging her.


      Mom...
      I'm in my room at my mom's house, sitting behind my desk. It's located exactly the way it is in reality. My tv is on the desk (my little brother didn't miss a beat to put it in his room after I moved to a student home), as well as my laptop and... a very tiny laptop? I'm working on something and using my tv as a second screen. I don't think I'm using a cable to connect them though. My laptop screen itself is black. I use the mini laptop as another screen. I believe it's running on Windows XP, which makes it all the more strange that it instantly connects to my laptop, despite this being the first time connecting them and me not selecting which screen to use. It's as if it knew what to do. I think of how stupid it is though to use this very small laptop screen when my own laptop screen is much bigger but turned off.

      My mom enters my room. She is mad at me for leaving the tv on the whole day. I argue with her that I didn't do that. She holds her hand out a few centimetres in front of the tv. She starts shouting that it's hot so I must've left it on the whole day. We move to my brother's room. I tell her how ridiculous she is and that there are at least 3 reasons why she's wrong. I decide not to mention them to her. Instead I mention that I'm her go to guy when it comes to technology, so she shouldn't pretend to know anything about technology related stuff.

      Tried a WBTB today. I woke up after about 5 hours, and lay awake for about 30 minutes. Felt like I just would not get back to sleep. I heard the traffic outside and got a bit annoyed by the noise. I sort of gave up on the WILD attempt and put on a podcast on my phone (using ear phones). It was Lucid4life podcast.

      After a while I must have fallen asleep, but I was dreaming I was still in my bed trying to WILD. I got up, thinking it was hopeless, and went downstairs. It was a mix between our current home and our last home. I went into the office room and looked out the window. It was dark outside. I didn't want to go out for a cigarette after all. Somewhere around here I was thinking that this big, almost empty, office room should be furnished with the furniture we don't have room for in the living room. I went to the kitchen. On top of the fridge there was several paper/plastic bags filled with huge brussels sprouts. H. apparently had discovered that they were ripe and picked them from the garden. When I saw the brussels sprouts I immediately knew I was dreaming, I heard H. come downstairs and hurried to do a nose plug RC just in case. I knew I was going to be able to breathe, and I was! H. came around the corner, I resisted the temptation to tell him it was a dream. Instead I just kissed him and we started some sexy time. This woke me up in just a few minutes, and the Ld was over.

      + playing with (stuff) of one girl, another girl is there, then another girl shows up, I start bouncing them on my knees (I have three legs?) to keep them all happy (!?)

      + sexy audition, do it with the hostess, put the LEDs in the weird electronic boards at the end

      + (vivid, present) walking along weird ridge line high in the mountains (with MR?), terrified of the heights, don't want to step away from the cliff still for fear of falling, practically hugging the ground. Later I'm evading a lion?

      + (impression) football game?

      Intensive DEILD attempt 3:

      Nothing .

      I woke up to the sound of a rooster wailing out of my phone over and over on max volume which seemed to shock me awake a little too much. I then spent the next 2 and a half hours lying in bed trying to fall back to sleep until I just decided to get up and start my day instead. Fun times .

    12. 11/7/15 - 11/8/15: Assorted fragments

      Notes:
      - Yeah... really wish my recall was better. Life's been hectic lately, and it's eating at my memory. I'd love to try WBTB or something soon.

      [Fragment 1]:
      I was in this grandiose courtyard in the center of a big mansion/castle? And J was sitting on a bench, reading or something. I went up to him and sat down. We talked a little, and eventually he said something to me and it didn’t make sense, like I didn’t hear him.
      I said “whattt?” and he said it again.
      “I’m sorry, I just can’t hear you”.
      “Nevermind, it’s not worth it”.
      I felt bad and began walking away, and made a joke about my “auditory difficulties”.

      [Fragment 2]:
      A friend, S, decided that she was going to smoke weed for the first time downtown with HB (her parents were ok with it, although they're completely NOT in real life), next door to where I was….

      [Fragment 3]:
      Mom was going to UK or Bergen again to take a picture/selfie in the forest with the camera being in the city. She had extra time on her flight from the Taiwan airport to NYC?

      I'm outside on a school campus. I'm standing in front of Eunji and Hoseok. It's like a silent movie because no one is talking but I can feel how they are feeling. Hoseok is sitting on a brick platform next to some stairs. Eunji and I are both standing close to him. I watch as Eunji walks closer to him and tries to hug him. She looks upset and apologetic. He puts his hands out in front of himself to keep her from coming closer. She looks even more upset, but she backs off and walks away sadly. After she is gone, I walk up slowly to him, making sure that he sees me coming. He looks up at me and smiles. I smile back and lean forward to bring him into a hug. I kiss his hair. He tightly wraps his arms around my waist and nuzzles his face into my stomach. He is happy again.

      I'm in house full of people, they're preparing a wedding. There's a lot a fussing going around, and a lot of men and women doing a lot of things everywhere. The room I' sitting in is painted white and full of golden light. I'm in front of a vanity, with a ring of light around the mirror and makeup products on the top. A older woman is with me, asking me to stay still while she does my hair. I suddently realise that I'm the bride. The groom come in: it's a incredibly tall man with large shoulders and dark brown hair, and quite a bit of stubble. I don't know him, but he seem nice and quite sweet. He is exicted about his clothes: He's wearing a crisp white shirt, a black bowtie and tuxedo jacket, with a golden skirt going down to his ankles and adorable black heels. I squee and compliment him, he's smiling like a kid.

    15. Relating non-lucids/successful self-suggestion & B6

      by , 11-08-2015 at 09:08 PM
      1) My dream started at a high school football game. It was somewhat drizzly/rainy. I used to be in marching band in HS so of course I'm there with the band. I see Tommy (important real life DC for this night) in front of me and ask him if he is still dating Sarah. He says yes. I also saw my friend Tony. We were going to play the fight song when the other team's BAND came out (lol??), but they came out from somewhere unexpected and the drum major (real life ex-bf) messed up the fight song. Soon, the low brass gathered at the bottom of the stands to play a low brass song. I put together a Clarinet made of mostly broken parts and could hardly play on it. My real life ex was MIA for most of the dream, I assumed making out with the girl drum major. Most of the dream I had a margarita in my hand. My grandparents were there with some food. There wasn't much room in the stands and I couldn't find a place to "fit in", so I was trying to sit on some sort of white, wire shelf not made for people to sit on. The band parents passed out cookies to all of us, either chocolate or vanilla. I was handed a chocolate and asked to trade for vanilla. I dropped my cookie package, and both of my grandparents were too old to bend down and pick it up. One of my uncles walked by and picked it up for me. I didn't have any of the music for the stand tunes we were playing, but could remember the fingerings and notes to about half of one of them. At some point I decide to go inside to the band hall instead of being at the game. A lot of colorguard girls walked by, all with gorgeous done-up hair. I tell a real-life DC Danielle how I wish whoever the best guard girl at hair was, that she would do my hair every morning. I went back outside at some point, but my last memory of this dream was thinking about how congested traffic would be leaving the school.

      I woke up from this dream ^ and remembered all of it suddenly after about 30 seconds of being awake. I decided that I wanted to see Tommy again in my next dream because I wanted to make out with him or whatever. I was using the mantra "I remember my dreams" before bed and all night, which combined with taking B6 gave me about 5x the recall I've had the past few nights.

      2) In my next dream, I was sitting on my old bed in my parents' house. The room is arranged the way it was when I was VERY young. Suddenly, I get a text from Tommy on my phone. It is something along the lines of "So, Sarah still thinks you're a bad person and is salty about you. But I don't agree with her. Want to hang out? " I think I texted him back a few times maybe, but was having EXTREME difficulty using my phone. Trying to text someone in a dream is quite a funny experience and it was basically impossible.

      3) After waking up and going back to sleep a final time, my new dream started in a beach setting. I was on a towel with two guys to my left, and one of my friends to my right. One guy asked, "so, do you have sex with all your ex's?" I said "Tommy isn't my ex we never dated". At one point I realized my bathing suit top had come completely off. I freak out and put it back on, and then the other guy asks for my number. I say yes at first, but then realize he was the one who probably untied my bathing suit so I say no. I suddenly remember that I've never had sex with Tommy, and tell the guys "sorry, I actually lied to you, me and Tommy haven't done anything but I think we're going to very soon". When everyone left the beach, it looked like how people leave cruise ships in movies.

      I am so excited about my dreams from last night!!!! Before the whole band/Tommy dreams began, there were 4 other times I woke up and remembered fragmented, less vivid dreams that were actually also related (puppy 5k/dogs). In total I woke up naturally at least 7 times which has always been a gift for me. I wake up after every REM cycle nearly 100% of the time it seems. Since getting back into dreaming this has been my best night of recall! I tried to SILD/FILD after almost every time I woke up but had no success.
