    1. Hanging out with Uncle Joey

      by , 10-14-2015 at 05:17 AM
      *I was at Uncle joeys apartment talking to him as he was washing dishes. It seemed to be his day off and he was relaxing and we were having a good conversation.

      In waking life I really don't know my uncle too well so dreaming about him like this is interesting. In the other rooms at the apartment there were guests that spoke a European language.

      I asked my uncle who are these people, he replied that they were his friends. I also asked him where his wife was and she was in the back room with the guest. I observed his apartment and it seem to be very nice cozy and peaceful.

      *I showed my girlfriend in Argentine in love song and she commented that she did not like it.

    2. #129 - end of the world / attack of the hobo / party in the hood / my professor is a fossil

      Lucid

      Nearly finished the SSILD cycles properly but I didn't quite get it down. I reckon eating a banana actually does help. I went to bed super fast for once and slept like a brick. I went to bed at 10:20 and woke up at 10:40 the next day

      Dream 1 - End of the World
      It's pretty much global warming induced world demise. I'm somehow related to an organization that is making super-massive ships to cruise around on as the sea-level continues to rise. Not everyone is on-board with the idea but the first ship is really successful. By the time we've made 3 (after a couple years I think) we get the support of the world. We make 1 more before it's too late I think. Obviously a lot of people weren't able to get on the boats and the similarity in my head is close to the anime 'Suisei no Gargantia', and the people on the ships are the 'superior' humans while the others will have to survive some other way. The dream has a tangent and kind of begins the more internal affairs of the ships. There's testing going on in some laboratories to help evolve humans to cope with the changing world. Failed products are ejected in pods. One such failure was an 'alien' like creature from the movie (Aliens Vs. Predators). They somehow invaded some of the ships and evolved, massacring so many people. I think I run around for a while in a mock-chase as if testing what it would be like. But I have some level of dream control and my mind rejects the idea of the invasion and prevents the dream turning into a nightmare. Now I seem to be the only one left on the ship and I'm in a section where the area is identical to my parents living room (lounge). The aliens can't get me for unknown reasons (because my brain doesn't want them to ). My cats are here, Holly and Sooty (they both passed away last summer so it was really nice to see them again in a way). It's supposedly my first time sleeping alone on the ship, I sit in the centre of the lounge near where my cat Holly is lying down and start cuddling up to her. She gets up and then sits down and starts purring and cuddling up to me too . Sooty is somewhat in the background (she's not a very affectionate cat).

      Dream 2 - Attack of the Hobo
      I'm at my parents house in the family room, I don't recall what I was doing prior to this incident but there's someone else in the dream who I was interacting with. It's night time and I'm inside, I glance outside and look down from the deck. I spot a hobo. He seems somewhat familiar and I instantly decide to confront him to shoo him from our property. I step outside and start going down the steps, I yell out "Oi what f*ck are you doing?!". He gets all startled and grabs a 2-handed pickax that I had left lying on the ground and hurls it towards me! It spins through the air but is too far to the left and misses. Crazy bastard. He seems to have escaped too. I run down the steps and clean up the mess a bit and put away the tools from gardening (there were weeds attached to everything which took a while to shake off). I put the garden gear to the side as a preventative against garden-gear-hurling-hobos

      Dream 3 - Party in the Hood
      I'm in a pretty rundown neighbourhood. Mikayla doesn't have many friends, so I decide to befriend her and help her fit in with the crowd I hand with. I think I'm now at her house? There's a table with lots of grandmas at it, all just sitting round talking. They pry into our relationship and ask if I'm her boyfriend, for some reason I can't deny it because we had gone on a date but we weren't interested in having a relationship like that. The main reason we had gone on a date wasn't out of interest or something, but honestly the dream logic was just weird O_O. I drop my phone and it goes under the table, the grannies all try to get their legs in my way in order to get me to tough them which I manage to avoid (phew). The dream scene changes and now we're having a party with my black friends whom are siblings, there aren't many people here though. In fact, it's pretty much just family members on the sidelines while the the siblings (a fat older brother and skinny younger sister) are dancing in the middle of the room. The vibe of the party is still good though . Next the dream scene changes again and we're on the bleachers in a gym. My parents are sitting behind me, Mikayla is somewhere to the right, and the siblings are also somewhere nearby. There are other seats set up too which are mostly filled, some music comes on and these two black siblings (one was a guy that was quite bulky and the other was a slim slightly younger girl) started dancing in sync. I whisper over to my sibling friends that they're being challenged. He and his sister get up and go down there and talk to the guy, shakes hands with him and says something along the lines of having a dance-off. He does it in a really friendly manner too. The other guy responds by pulling him close during the handshake and whispering in his ear, I can see from my friends expression that he had been insulted. They start dancing off, everyone is in sync and my friends seem to be doing a bit better. I'm pretty amazed by it all because it's all so cool-looking, I'm surprised that they even know the dance moves that they're all supposed to do because the song was randomly chosen.

      Dream 4 - My Professor is a Fossil
      I've signed up for an optional field trip given by my professors that is open for the public and not actually uni-related. My professor Ewan is directing it and he looks super old. I'm surprised he can even walk. At my uni he's a renowned fossil expert so I think it's funny how he's almost like a fossil himself (he looks a lot younger in real life). I'm trying to listen to him explain whats going to happen but I can't quite hear because my parents are yapping away next to me about getting home on time to watch some TV show called 'Boss' or something. I notice that Ewan said something and some of the people around had stood up. My dad then shouts "My son is too! Stand up son!". Oh my f*cking god on cue, everyone just looks at me and I have this intense embarrassment and annoyance because he was the reason I couldn't hear and then he does this... The pain.
    3. Choose-A-Dream

      by , 10-14-2015 at 01:04 AM
      I remember finding myself in a dark, quiet room. There was one light on the other end of the room, along with a small filing cabinet. I started to approach the cabinet and I looked through the files. Many of them had titles such as "Dream 1" or "Dream Test #6". I looked through them and found detailed records of my previous dreams that included what happened, the setting of the dream, and when I woke up. I found this strange, and after backing away from the files and looking around the room some more, I saw a small drop-box slot. I went over and inspected it more carefully and wondered what would happen if I put one of the files in the slot. I traveled back to the cabinet and grabbed one of the files laying on the floor. I put the file in the slot and the room started to gradually get more and more dark. I then found myself in a dream that looked extremely familiar, and realized that I actually had been put in the dream that the file had described. I then tried to remember what the file summarized my dream to be but I wasn't able to recall any of the info. I then became lucid realizing that I'm in a dream, but because I got excited, I woke up.

    4. WILD Transition/Multiple Dreams Nightly

      by , 10-13-2015 at 11:53 PM (Dimension X)
      These past few nights have been great in terms of dreaming. Not only have I had exactly 3 dreams every night for the past 3 or 4 days, but I also conveniently wake up between each, giving me an opportunity to WILD each time. Not to mention it's helped me to finally be able to perform the transition properly... At least last night anyway.
      I was able to actually see the "hypnagogia" stuff, and it was more vivid than ever. Not only that, but I did make it into a lucid dream for a few seconds, rather than accidentally slipping into sleep paralysis and hearing weird noises. Hopefully I can try again and be more successful tonight. I do find this to be a little weird though... Suddenly having exactly 3 dreams each night...? It's very strange. I've also noticed that I have much more ease when it comes to remembering dialogue as well. I've even noticed that even when I'm having non-lucid dreams, I still feel like I'm on the brink of lucidity, and not a complete zombie trapped in the dream's "story" and just going along with it. This is the most regularly I've had lucid dreams in a long time, and I'm glad that I'm finally back in the saddle.

    5. Returning again and "The deep sea"

      by , 10-13-2015 at 08:54 PM
      Haven't Put much in DJ here for a bit as have been with family a lot - keeping my personal Dj tho where all the personal stuff goes but here are some t[/COLOR]o share 💫
      Went to sleep around 9.30pm - woke up around 4am. Went to the loo and realised I felt extreemly positive and I was repeatedly saying " I am Lucid tonight - I am Lucid"

      Went back to bed on left side repeating.
      I slept for a bit and ended up on my back at some point - relaxing and knowing the possibility could be around any corner of moments 🌸

      At about 7.20am my bf got up and I chatted for a Minuit. I carried on - on my back with my confidence of being aware of my dream while I was dreaming. All of a sudden it happened a Dild and series of 3 or 4 Deild's ( at least 3 but as I didnt write down could have been more)

      First I was in a NL talking to someone - a young man - I became aware I as dreaming and told the DC and asked for his help to find a DC that can advise me on LDing. He said he would help and to follow him. I did for a while and next thing I was ina kitchen and he said the Witch you need to speak to is usually here. A woman turned around and I knew this wasn't the Witch my DC had spoken about and I instinctively knew I was being given the run around....I felt myself in my bed slightly awake.....I laid still and begin seeing the dream again from a distance

      ...I stay gently focused and I am suddenly present again talking to the same young man DC - " I am dreaming again - this is my dream" I say
      " Ok" he says
      I ask him to take me around the building maybe to meet someone again to find out about how I can become a better Lucid dreamer - I need help - he agrees to help - soon he signals for me to sit in a large living room ...we are talking about LDing and I feel a sudden deeper understanding dawning in my mind
      It's like when we are awake in WL ; yes we are selfless but we cannot go around making a big deal of this fact... It wouldn't do anything... We need to flow with the understanding of it, experience it and live it moment by moment. Well it's the same with us when we are in a dream ; we can't make a big deal about that fact or else we loose it - but we need to know it and go with the flow, taking what comes and experiencing all...I laughed and felt I had the key😀 things around me become very clear and colourfull as I sit talkin
      g,[/COLOR]

      I become semi lucid after a while ...then wake up again in bed again...I stay still and soon I am seeing. The dream comes close again ...almost and then clearly - I join the dream fully again

      I am in a room with the same DC - I tell him clearly I know I am Dreaming and this is my dream - look I can jump into that fire if I want - I stand up on the edge of a counter and dive into the fire but fall over before I get to it - I think he pushed me but I realise this means I am very Semi Lucid! I tell him I am going to explore the house and start to wake up I my bed again....staying still and confident knowing.I am walking in the same building again in my LD

      I fly up into the very top room of the house and out of the window - I saw a friend working on the top of the building and have a joke with him, I am very aware of my dreaming mind. I fly off and land in the street - walking threw the little town I try to think of what to do so the LD can continue - I always love the Sea, yes the sea

      " around the next corner is the sea - I will swim out and enjoy the lovely water in this LD" I thought

      Some one followed and I was happy to have a possible mate, I looked behind and said " to the sea - lets go to the sea - it's around this corner! "

      We turned the corner and the sea was enormous 🐳 shockingly high ; there was no beach it just came right up to the houses and actually touched the rooftops on some of them. I was delighted and was aware that if I had not been dreaming it would have been quite scary!
      " Come on in!" I shout out to my friend as I swam
      out into the deep sea
      He looked like a man/Monster turning different colours of blue/ green and shades inbetween - as it is a dream I just don't care and call out to him again
      " Come in and join me you monster/man!"

    7. October TOTM Bonus freakin Nightmare

      by , 10-13-2015 at 07:34 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I am lying in bed. There are ants on me. Hmm. Weird. I brush them off. My bedroom setting disappears. I am now lying on a mound of earth, about 8 feet long and four feet wide at the base, and about three feet high. Ants crawl over me, trailing some sticky thread like spiders.
      I am amused by this, and just watch the scene play out. I am in a sunny jungle somewhere that feels like southeast Asia. Then, the ants start making a kind of creepy hissing and chirping noises. They crawl into my ear. I try to stand up. I can't. The ones in my ear tell me I am going to die soon. I am bound. They will slowly eat me alive for revenge. Revenge against the humans.
      "We eat! We eat! We eat!"

      The fucking ants tear into my flesh with their powerful tiny mandibles. Fuck them. this is my dream. I try to move, and teleport past their bonds, but I am bound like a fly in a spider's death-cocoon. I morph into a pile of dust and sand, and the wind blows me out of their evil trap, and the rest of me pours out on to the ground.

      The ants are enraged because I am no longer edible.

      "I am just trying to see the world from your perspective," I tell them. Suddenly, I am tiny or they are big. I don't know. There is an ant with arms and a sword in front of me. I also have a sword. This giant ant wants to kill me. He is about 12 feet away, and charges me. I throw my sword, and it lodges right in his head. Suddenly there are thousands of ants crawling up my legs stinging me. I scream in pain, and wake up.

      I am in bed. I look at my hands. They are swirly and ghost like. "I am glad I was able to wake myself up!" I say.

    8. 15-09-30 Friends

      by , 10-13-2015 at 06:10 PM
      I was a pretty dim living room, sitting around a table with a bunch of other people. They were all Americans, or so it seemed. I felt like they could be my friends, as I felt at easy around them, and they included me in their conversations (normally I am simply ignored). The girl on my left was either Hayden P. or one of her characters. I looked at the TV, and there was a show on, subtitled in Dutch (my language). I thought this was suspicious - why would an American show, shown in the US be subbed in Dutch? The others had an explanation, but it still felt weird. They pointed out one of the guys was German. Anyway, I was happy with these guys. I thought to myself that there was nothing for me left back home in Belgium. All I ever wanted was here. I would do anything to get that green card.

      It was night, and I was lying on my back, in bed. Through the open door I could still see the living room I was in earlier, and I think the others were still there. I noticed "Hayden" lying next to me, with some distance between us. I got a little closer and reached out for her, gently caressing her face and hair. The smile she gave me was one of acceptance, and love. We'd never spoken to each other, and yet we had this instant human connection. I went in for the kiss, and that's all I remember.

    9. Lovely Lucid Kitties :3 :3 :3 <3

      by , 10-13-2015 at 05:53 PM
      I think this is probably a layer 1 lucid anyways....I was over joyed at time...

      I was having a normal dream I was in some shop or other. Interacting with normal bland drean characters (no offense to any dream characters out there).
      When I left the shop the dream plot went wacko....Incredibly vivid cats started to race towards me...very very excited....
      I could see every detail on them, the colours were vibrant and the fabric too...yes fabric...these dream character cats were made out of carpet and some out of cushion fabric with button eyes...but they were very...very alive...
      They clamored for my attention, flocking to me.
      I wondered if they would hurt me with their claws (did they even have claws? pin claws?)
      I took a deep breath and let them come closer...they HUGGED ME...big cats, small cats, some blue,some patterned....lots of hugs....


      Then I continued my dream as tho nothing had happened...this was a dream after all and this rumpus was...well out of place...so I continued on my dream way and it went back to non-lucid...

      Later I returned to the shop and was accused of something. I would have been busted but two friends walked in behind me dressed with black trilby hats and black waistcoats and matching white shirts. The store owner thought they were the feds...and by default me also...
      I checked over the crime scene...measured things up with a tape measure from the kitchen. Then made my way from stall to stall (those turny things they have in shops with merchandise on). Then made a break for the door. It was dark outside and pouring heavily with rain. I needed to find my car...THEN

      Bounding out of nowhere came cats...new ones...calling my name...(awww)...Just as vivid and clearly sentient...they were just so excited and overwhelmed that I was here and that they had got to meet me *think i'm gonna cry*
      I feel happy but then again a bit awkward telling myself this is not at all what dreams are supposed to be like...and I head off to look for my car in the deluge...

    10. Kamehameha

      by , 10-13-2015 at 05:46 PM (Robo's Dreams)
      I started drifting to sleep. my bedroom doubled and distorted, my consciousness wavered. for a moment I identified my dream body and plugged my nose with it to anchor me in. The dream distorted heavily with this action. I almost lost it, but I held on and it stabilized. I focused on my breathing until the dream solidified. I leaped out of my bed and turned to face it. Sticking out my right hand and assuming a stance, I started with a stern force behind my voice: "KAA!" nothing seemed to have changed, the dream still felt like real life, so I began shifting perspective slightly: "ME! HAA!" the world around me started tremoring, destabilizing. I tried to stay in the dream as best I could: "ME!" but it was too much. the dream shifted, feeling like a portal rebound. I was presented with a forum I frequent in front of me in the moment before I woke up.

    11. Getting Drunk with Gods, TOTY attempt

      by , 10-13-2015 at 04:07 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I am sitting at a wedding feast of the gods, which I apparently rejoined after leaving with Eris. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena are alternately fuming at me, and ignoring me. I chuckle to myself.
      I stand up and walk around. The setting on Mount Olympus is amazing. Wildflowers and majestic tall trees are everywhere.
      I see Hercules drunkenly tossing boulders over a cliff, whooping it up. I join him at his side, tossing boulders over. He stops.
      "No, Mr. Nothing, this game is called Drunken Boulder Toss. Every time you miss, you have to take a drink."
      "Miss what?"
      See that mountain? That's out target."
      I toss a boulder at a mountain peak which is about two miles away. I make it about 15 or 20 yards out from the cliff.
      Hercules laughs and pours wine out of a large barrel into a golden flask for me to drink. I drink deeply. It's amazing. Sweet, fruity, and delicious.
      Zeus joins us. He tosses a boulder. It goes sailing into the sky until it's out of sight.
      "You have missed, father!" Hercules laughs uproariously. Zeus joins in, and pours himself a drink.
      I pick up a boulder and toss it straight up. It lands on my head, bounces off, then rolls off the edge of the cliff. Hercules falls over laughing, and Zeus hands me another drink of godly wine.
      Pan walks over to us. He tosses a boulder to Hercules, who catches it. "I missed the mountain," he grins. And puts his face under the wine barrel spigot and pours it into his mouth he drinks the whole barrel.
      "Okay... beetchez... firszt, I'mz going to toss one of theses bitchees..."
      He picks up a boulder, and tosses it at the mountain. It sails through air, and hits it, making a huge cloud dust and a muffled boom. We all clap and laugh drunkenly.
      "Hmm... let me try! That wine works well."
      I pour an entire barrel into my mouth also.
      I pick up a boulder and lift it above my head, and accidentally toss it backwards. It lands behind me on a steep slope, and rolls down to me. I turn, and the boulder crashes right into me. I get stuck to it, and roll with it down the cliff. It feels like a fun ride. The boulder and I, roll to the bottom, then I fly up and rejoin the other gods on the plateau above. They are laughing uproariously.
      "Did I win?"
      They laugh harder.
      Zeus shouts, "NO!" with a thunder clap, and tosses a boulder at me, which I narrowly dodge.

      + fire in (my sister's room?) in childhood home starting under a bed. Some hot things had been leaning up against it, I try blowing out the initial flames but that doesn't work as they're too strong/big. I run for an extinguisher to the bathroom, but my best friend MR's father [deceased] comes running down the hall with MR and a bigger fire extinguisher and blasts the flames out with it.

      + DO view [high on the tail] riding on commercial jet airplane: the plane hugs the ground, following pipes and flying low dipping down into valleys to pull up only in the nick of time, it's quite a harrowing, roller-coaster-like ride. This is an unofficial flight? So the pilot must stay below radar detection altitude. Then we arrive at our destination and plop down on the water, the pilot announces that we have arrived into Iran and have landed near a crude oil processing facility.

      + (f) outside, windy, near airport, thinking about landing in this wind, view of wind-blown water, think I'm in Okinawa and all the trees provide a good windbreak for landing planes.

      + (f) some other dreams [with MR?]

      Recall still very confused. As I am.

      I'm baby-sitting with a friend, the toldder we're keeping a eye on is weirdly smart for a two years old still in diaper. We're on the run in the contry, at night. We enter a house to rest and change the baby. My friend try to pick up a glass bowl and somethig jump in her eyes, making her scream and drop the bol, which shatter on the floor, sending glass shards everywhere. I have to calm her down while holding the toddler, who is perfectly calm and collected.

      Non-dream
      Non-lucid
      Lucid

      I tried a new dream journal app on my phone and it turns out that it's a bastard because it only stores one dream entry per day. So I lost my other dreams and can't recall them either. I tried to SSILD last night but it was pretty ineffective as I just couldn't focus through the cycles, was still way too fatigued.

      Dream - Girlfriend and daughter
      I seem to be in my flat (this is pretty rare, I don't usually have dreams about my flat) and in my bed, just lying down with my laptop out messaging my girlfriend on skype. We send pictures and are just chilling out. She tells me that I should probably break up with her because another guy groped her against her will. I'm pretty shocked, but I tell her that I want to punch that guy and I wouldn't break up with her over that since she stopped him. The situation was that actually she had a sticker on her ass and she asked her friend to help get it off (it was a girl), and then the guy kind of swooped in on the situation. I told her not to let it happen again because it makes me worry when I'm so far away (we study at different universities). I also realize that as I typed it out to her, I actually sent it through text instead of skype. I had been a little disoriented by the whole 'break up with me' message I guess . I return to the skype conversation and see she has replied to my message, I tell her that I goofed up and sent the message before through text (not that it mattered). We continue talking I think, but I also think I start looking at old photos and videos of her. There were random pictures of her in a bikini, another where she had a real hairy stomach (this one I tried to ignore lol ). There were even some where she was posing on the bed . A video also started playing, it was one where I think I was videoing Arya playing with her mum and grandparents. They all charged at Arya and made a sort of dog pile and Arya loved it, she was giggling lots. Then I flick to another video where we're on a beach, my girlfriend looked really pretty. It seemed to be a grey day, and the wind was blowing a bit hard. We were climbing along the wave-cut platform of rocks, the video seemed to follow her (non-existent-in-real-life) cousin, I think she was 10ish?

    15. 131015: Cool guy Keeping Cats Dry.

      by , 10-13-2015 at 08:56 AM (The Dream Journal)
      A very vague night of dreams. Tried WBTB, faded in and out of a light sleep.

      Fragment
      Vague image of a X-Files episode set in Australia, in the dusty outback. Mulder by the back of an open trunk of a jeep?

      Dream 1
      Rainy rivers form on the slanted hill of asphalt outside an industrial hall, the sun is rising behind the trees lower down, the sky is a purple-orange. I try to get a large stagnant puddle moving down the hill with my feet, kicking water to the left and then down the small trickle of a river. It's not very efficient. I think Batman comes up, am I working for him?

      A group of feral cats come up by the puddles, they are thin and weird looking like the Devon Rex breed. I look at one, a bit confused. At least I'm getting rid of the water, it won't bother these cats anymore.

      I'm walking down a narrow and dark shopping mall hallway, there is a restaurant to the right. A mother and daughter exit the place and pass right in front of me with trays of noodle soup. Looks good.

      I enter the well-lit central Metro station. It's like I'm back in high school, there are young kids around forming cliques. There are some mean girls sitting by a group of desks in front of a chalkboard right in the middle of the metro station. They are talking about a picture on the back page of a newspaper,it's a risque picture of one of the unpopular girls in white lingerie posing for an ad? as they laugh I'm acting indifferent and cool. I try to give the impression that I don't care for this kind of high school stuff, I walk away in a plaid shirt like the badass cool kid, feeling really tough.
