Non-dream Dream

It's been two years since recording my dreams so it will take a while to build up my recall again. Recall was very fragmented in this first attempt.

Dream 1: I am a slave and locked up in a room with my wife and DA. The only way to get out is to fill up some slots with either trading cards or dvds. I see a shelf full of unopened trading cards and I select a large pack of 1990 Hockey cards. I open them to reveal a bunch of random baseball cards.

Dream 2: My mom and dad ask me about my stress levels at work. I reply that I am only stressed out 2 times per year, each time lasting a week.

Dream 3: My wife and I are at a huge park with a very large swimming pool. There are hundreds of people sitting around the pool observing a shark - it is kind of like sea world. My wife has her feet in the water and I warn her that the shark is coming our way. She takes her feet out of the water. As the shark gets close to us it turns upside down and comes out of the water. We are frightened but embarrassed to run away. It is as if everyone knows the shark is harmless. We slowly back away and the shark continues to follow us on land. After a while the shark turns into some large cat (Cheetah?) and runs off.

Once again, I had a couple dreams. However, for the second one, this time I know that I was lucid. I will post these 2 dreams here.

1. I don't really remember much about this one. All I remember was that video game characters were involved. But still, might as well put this down.

2. After the last dream, again, youtube came up. And again, there were screamers involved. Not just one this time, but there were multiple involved. After the video was over, the replay button was clicked and I was like "NO! NO! NO! I'M DREAMING!" Then I saw a hallway type thing. It was very weird. The first thing I did was rub my hands together. However, I couldn't maintain lucidity, and I woke up.

I was in the living room talking to my brother. I got very mad because the microwave would not work and before I knew it I found my juice and food in the garbage. I knew there wasn't much so I get pissed off and began hitting a lot of things and breaking stuff. I then open the refrigerator and pulled out of my last beverage and told my brother I am out of here. I then proceeded in to the garage and open it then forcefully close it however the garage door did not slam. I quickly pick on it because most of my dreams do this to me. I once again open the door and made a second attempt to slam it which it made the door slam a bit louder but not exactly like waking life. I quickly look at the blue carpet and I begin to look at my hand and ask if I was dreaming? My fingers counted up as five and before my suspicions were about to die. This weird sound started gliding all over the garage and the place was beginning to get white as it seem to get farther away from me. The sound was similar to the vibrations I get when I using DA meditation. Luckily the dream quickly submerge me back in to it. I realize I am dreaming as I know it is impossible for some paint to make noise or move on it's own. The noise however was too loud so I got out of the garage and lost lucidity. Lucidity Time: 13 seconds

I'm standing outside at a city square across the street from the beach when I remember I'm dreaming. I remember my dare to destroy a coastal city with an army of dolphins. I put my hand behind my back and call for a dolphin. I feel it's beak first and let my hand slide across it's head as it's passing me before I grab it's dorsal fin and jump on it's back to ride it. "Destroy this city!" I say. I look around and see many dolphins swimming through the air, weaving in between the buildings. I feel that I've got this task under control so I just relax on my dolphin while it swims through the air along the beach while the other dolphins do their thing. All of a sudden, there is a scene change and I appear to be in a different coastal city. My dolphin is swimming really slow and seems tired so I figured that time skipped. I get off it and summon another one just like before. When I try to grab it's dorsal fin though it turns around and bites my arm. I manage to get on it and am pleased that it's more active than the tired one.I lose my lucidity before the dream ends.

Morning of October 11, 2014. Saturday.



This is a soothing dream at first. I am in an unknown location, seemingly inside the large room of a mansion. Sparkling dust motes “swim” in the air.

There is a rather odd setup. A very large and complex dollhouse, I believe of three storeys, is in one corner of the room, almost as if it is a part of the design of the house (and big enough for a person to go into). It has a sort of combined Grecian and Victorian appearance. Sunlight is coming in through large windows. On the roof of the dollhouse, in front, is a large complex clock. There are white monotone angel statues built into the clock. Their subtle wing movements somehow relate to the clock.

An unknown darker-haired younger girl appears. She says “elaborate”. In fact, that is all she does say, several times. No attempt at any form of communication results in anything but “elaborate”. She pronounces it as an adjective (not the verbal pronunciation). I think perhaps she is saying it to describe the environment. I am fairly sure she may live here somewhere. No actual communication ensues. It is rather amusing, probably more amusing than frustrating.

“What is your name?”

No response.

Long pause.

“Elaborate." (Over time, she says "elaborate” at least six times.)

The feathers on the wings of the angels on the clock seem to flutter at times, but that may be an optical illusion caused by subtle motion of the rays of sun. I think the wings themselves move up and down (over time) with the minute hand.

OK so it doesn't matter if my dreams are up to date anymore. I ma just going to be posting dreams and some of them will have happened the night before and some of them a while ago. Mostly only my Lucids will have happened a while ago because I've been too lazy to type them out.

Waking
Non-Lucid
Lucid

#1 - I'm A Super Detective
I am in my school, except it isn't the school I am currently attending, it was my elementary school. My dad texts me and tells me that I have to leave school and come eat lunch with him. I go to my next class which was some foreign language, I think Spanish. About five minutes into it, I went up to the teacher. I went to the guy teacher because I remembered that I had asked the girl teacher something similar before, and she didn't understand what I was asking. I told the guy, "I know I don't have a pass but can I leave? My dad told me to." The teacher shook his head and said no, but I can't remember the reason for it. I figured out then that he was evil in some way, though I can't remember that reason now. All I remember then is standing outside the front doors of the school and the teacher standing there yelling at me.

Then I was downtown. There had been a murder and I was a detective on the case. There was a bus over a grate heading down to the sewers and I said that we had to get that open. My theory was that the killer had everyone fall into those holes because at every scene there was an opening into the ground. We started opening it and everyone around started looking at us. Then I was at school again running up the hallway. It was slowly inclining towards a door, which was my Spanish class (I can't remember if that happened before or after the crime scene). I am then at a track meet. My Spanish teacher is there and we seem to have made amends. I see the Central team and I walk towards them. My old friend sees me and comes over. I tell him that I had gotten this one girls number, and he says that I have to stay away from her. "Why?" I asked. "First, because I'm going after her. And second, everybody fricking wants her." He replied. I thought this was a little weird because I thought he was currently dating someone but before I could ask he got called back over to his camp. (If I would've asked I probably would've become lucid.

I walk back over to the track and my coach is waiting. Right when the race is about to start, the killer shows up and takes away a girl. Then all of a sudden, I figure it out. My mind has flashbacks to all the crime scenes, even ones I hadn't visited in the dream (like in Psych). I then realized that each murder took place at a construction site, and that each person killed was a worker. Using this info we are able to stop the girl from being killed. I didn't understand why the killer took the girl, my best guess was that she was a worker's daughter.

#2 - Half-Dream in the Morning
I woke up and realized it was still early so I tried to go back to sleep. I was half asleep and I drifted off to a little dream. I was in my school's lunch room. Me and a few others were getting a drink out of a Gatorade container. It said it was Gatorade so we all took that instead of water. Some people got water from that container and were angry because the thing had lied. I got Gatorade though. Then a lady was there and said, water tastes weird after drinking a base liquid. I took the base liquid to mean Gatorade. (I had an even shorter mini dream before this one but I can't remember what it is.

00:00 Saturday 2014-10-11 LDs #69, #70, fake mountain viewing resort, childhood home, nice kiss

04:00 bedtime. YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! (You see, I was getting ready for bed at 2am, already horribly late, wife insists I fix the clog in the bathroom sink NOW. Cleaning the pipes takes 10-15 minutes, putting them back together so they don't leak [much ] takes 1.5+ hours).

despite the drastically late bedtime, I had a number of dreams but because I moved too much most were lost except this one:

+(f) lord of the rings adventure?

+ (DO flying around) fake mountain viewing resort: there are sets for a scene from Lake Tahoe, volcanoes, etc., there's a church where they must change the wine once a week or it would freeze, jutting stone outcroppings are decorated with fake mist

Somewhere around 9:00 wife's alarm goes off. I'm getting back to sleep for a long time.
Countdown a bunch. It's HOT, put arm outside comforter to dissipate heat. Take off remee, I'm all sweaty underneath it and too hot, try to sleep without it, put it back on as I get drowsy after cooling off, and drift off into dream....

Let go, let go, dream come get me...

(somewhere between 9-11)

+ (lucid)
I'm lucid as the dream forms. I guess this means it's a WILD, don't care so much about the category. The image appears and solidifies. It's as if I'm standing in the closet of my childhood bedroom looking out to a a portion of my bedroom, I see one of the twin beds. It is as if the scene is partially in a black frame. I can't detach from where I am, feel a bit unstable, start rubbing hands and don't stop until I can enter. I call to my mother whom I "know" is just behind the area blocked by the blackness to come out and sit on the bed.

After enough hand rubbing I can detach from my starting point and enter the dream, there is a brief disorientation and them I'm walking out of my bedroom the dream is now "full screen", I enter the upstairs hallway, I reach the top of the stairs, turn, descend, I'm thinking a little bit that it's sort of weird just to walk around when you're lucid but I'm really enjoying it, I don't care, it's stable and solid. I reach the bottom of the stairs and enter the living room. There are many many objects, I'm amazed at the detail, it feel really waking-life. There are lots of small digital clocks with bright colors showing the time, I don't look at them but notice them shining in the dim light (green some of them). The lighting is dim but everything is clearly seen. The room is full of objects, unlike previous dreams where it's been empty or just a few things. I notice the old B&W TV on a stand near the entrance to the dining room, think it's interesting that I see the old TV. Walking further into the room I turn to my right and glance at the piano area, I see it is filled with discarded crumpled up Christmas wrapping paper. I want to do some lucid eating so I head for the kitchen, I'm in the dining room almost to the kitchen and think "no, do the TOTM non-waking instrument task." I turn around and head back to the living room, I open a buffet sliding door and pull open a drawer with the intention of finding a musical instrument that doesn't exist in waking life. The drawer is full of random small junk, no instrument. I then think to ask the "dream guides" for it, I hold out my arms as if carrying an invisible pile of firewood and say "give me an instrument that does not exist in waking life" but nothing appears. When I speak hear my voice as if distant but it's clear. I give up and go outside on the deck to admire the view. The view is amazing, I see all the way to The City and the sparking lights. Some lights are pure blue. Some lights are little square blobs on top of straight sticks and I recognize these as indicators from a space-sim game I've been playing a lot of (Oolite) and chuckle out loud as I recognize the residue and know where it's from. I reach the main corner of the deck and decide to fly up in to the air, I jump lightly and effortless reach up into the sky.

I'm twisting around and think I should go raiding neighbor homes for girls, but I find my flight movement control is broken, I try flapping once or twice but can't move at all, then the dream goes dark, I see only blackness. I try opening my eyes once or twice and think that I'm moving my waking eyes so I relax and stop moving.

+ (semi?) I'm thinking about PercyLucid's comments about kissing, I appear (on my parent's backyard lawn?) and bring a girl into my arms and smack a few times on a short but really erotic kiss. Possibly a daydream? If so it was really vivid, at least part actual dream I think.

+ (FA?) I'm in bed with hands rubbing, my hands are touching, I wake later with hands separate, this was probably FA.

+ (lucid)I'm lucid as an image appears of my childhood home kitchen, my view is as if I'm in the place of the stove looking at the counter/sink across from it. It also takes me a bit of effort to enter the dream, I have to "scoot" on my butt as if I'm sitting on a very large invisible bed in darkness a number of times to reach the edge and get so I get put my feet on the floor and enter the dream. I say to myself "I'd like to eat a waffle" and think about where to find one. Then I look to the right, through the door into the living room (the dining room seems not to be there) and I see it's messy with lots of bottles (wine bottles?) scattered all over the place, that must have been quite a party, , there's a sound, the dream ends, my wife is working at the table in our bedroom and is making some noise which woke me up, darn.

+ in current-day home in bedroom, whole family is in the room, I think I'm awake because my wife is talking about an errand I know she has to do in waking life today, she's talking about why she believes (an unpleasant situation we're in) is from hell.

In one of the lucids I hear some kind of announcer, it probably was my wife watching a video in the same room while I was still sleeping (argh).

...or at least that's what the dream and my behaviour claimed.

I remember sitting together (with people unknown to me) in a room that was rather bleak and normal, a weird exception to my dreams, where (as I noticed upon writing this) most of the few not-fancy rooms tend to be my fake bedrooms. We were talking about stuff, but I can't remember what. Eventually I realize I'm dreaming, doing the nose-pinch RC to fully confirm my suspicion. For some reason I tightly believe that I'm in someone elses dream, and thus I have less control than usual, and I'm not trying to act up either. The scene breaks as somehow the room is filled with water and I'm busy keeping someone above the water...

And here comes the odd part, I both remember waking up for real after the dream, and I remember it continuing in a way I can't quite chronologically put the waking up after. The rest of the night is a weird blur of things, not really typical for me and my usual direction and type of dreams.

And whether I was in someone elses dream... I don't think so. I mean, there were some very atypical things in there I could imagine coming from somenoe else rather than me, and I don't consider it impossible, but if I'd have to take I guess I'd still say it probably was just me being fooled by my dream mind.

Dream - Lucid

I was going to take my brother's friend, Tyler, home; he needed a ride. I really wanted it to go quickly so I could go home to the house I grew up in and smoke the little bit of weed I had left. I thought about my sobriety, but had previously already blown it, so what did it matter? I was planning on when to smoke it.

I then was on my way home. Someone was with me, but it wasn't Tyler. Crap. I then realized I had forgotten all about him.

I then was walking on the street and saw all these spider birds; they literally looked like different crosses between spiders and birds. They weren't all in the same area, but scattered about. I remember a black one with a spider's body and a bird's head. There were others, but I can't remember the details.

I then saw Tyler's dad. He was doing something with a dog and a cat, which were apparently his/his family's. I went to pet the dog, and it bit my arm. He scolded the dog for doing so. I wanted to pet the cat too, which was a cream-colored, short haired cat with greyish tips on its ears and tail, but I don't remember if I did or not.

There was something about a video game in here as well, some sort of quest/adventure game for the PC. You'd visit different places on the map. There was one that just got unlocked where you went and got $7000. I got it, and it was like I actually had $7000 in real life. I was thinking about how to tell Dallas and what we could do with the money.

*So this was a dream from a 3 hour nap, but of course felt long. As a background i'm a heavy napper, and dream extremely vividly the moment my head hits the pillow. I will start to dream as I doze off as well if i'm tired, or start hearing part of my dreams. I have no control over my dreams, I can never fly, or breathe under water. They are simply as real life is but much more interesting and include odd places and things that don't exist. I have no idea why. I am also extremely honest and social in dreams which is different from real life. My feelings don't get hurt as easily.*

I met a yellow male fairy, maybe about the size of a cat, I was told by my dad to get to know him. We were sleeping next to each other and my dad got so angry, but the fairy wasn’t human, and it wasn’t weird. I said “I knew he would get mad, he gets mad every time” and me and my dad got in a fight (me and my dad don’t really get along in real life)

Next flash. is I was ready to die, I was writing on my friends computer real fast saying “you did a good job, …. etc” it was a room with several computers and a desk near on the side from where I was sitting. If you walk the opposite way next to the desk you could leave the room. I decided not to kill myself after all, but I was going to congratulate her on being the last person I write too, but I decided not to. As I was waiting for her to see it she walked back into the room with black pearls around her neck and other such things because she became famous I guess. (this has to do with someone singing better than me in real life in a competition and that was her a few days ago)

Another flash. We were in this underground room, me and a friend I knew well, it seems like my childhood best friend but then again it didn’t. There were snakes coming out from everywhere. Out of the ceiling, out of the cracks the floors, and I was trying to avoid them. But I saw them such as you would in a movie, from one flash of a snake to the other. eventually I would jump around and swing around as much so I just let one bite me. They didn’t scare me, I just didn’t want to get bit.

Next flash. I was eating ice cubes from this icecube holder on this counter with this large room with two seperate groups of people, and stairs that go down the middle. from this large section of people. I looked at the ice cubes and they weren’t normal ice cubes, they were pretty like glass and they had a lemon seed in them and something else. I had eaten something that made my mouth burn, and I was trying to make it go away. I was spitting places such as the towel behind the picture frame hung up where the stair move down. I was hoping nobody saw me, but the last time I tried spitting in my dream since I did it more then once to get the taste to go away, I spit in real life and that’s what woke me up.

Next flash. My friend had my mini scissors that I haven’t been able to find and that I was looking for in real life today, I take them and she gets offended. I wasn’t mad but she said something along the lines of “well that flute was so expensive anyway so” and from that dream I remembered a false memory that was given to me in the dream of me giving her a flute she bought me back, I got a mental picture of it in my dream, and I had made a light hearted clever joke back to her comment about these fancy scissors I have in real life even though she was defensive.

Another flash. I was down by these booths and shops in the same place, there was this one with a lady that in my dream I remembered from before. I got there right as it was closing and she pulled down the metal to cover her booth right as I was about to look and buy something.

-I don’t really remember colors of walls or carpets.
-I don’t remember the people really. They were just details such as there is in real life.

These are only a few of the parts I remember. They all led into each other. I don’t remember the transitions or the other several places I went and things that happened besides these.

Black: Non-dream
Blue: Non-lucid
Red: Lucid

Quite a restless night attempting SSILD for the 4th night in a row. I recalled only 1 dream, the others vanished upon waking up because I felt exhausted by efforts to do SSILD over the past few days (insomnia keeps kicking in and keep me awake when I'm trying to fall asleep after a WBTB).

Dream 1 - The Dwarven Adventure
Note: I was unconvinced that I had even had this dream, since I believed I had been in my bed and just 'thinking' about the dream occurring - like I was still trying to drift off to sleep. I've never had an experience like this, in fact I've had a few oddities occur as a result of trying the SSILD technique.

I am with my close friend + flatmate M, he's on a skateboard and I'm on a tray-like trolley rolling along the ground. We're on a narrow pathway next to a road, there are the typical green trees of my NZ home-village scenery. We roll a long with him in the lead, he sucks at skateboarding and is trying to learn, he keeps trying to maintain his balance while moving slowly, he rolls downhill a bit and steadies himself. At some point the dream seems to have progressed again, I realize I am a Dwarf now and my friend has left somewhere, I'm still on my trolley thing rolling around. I'm confronted by a fellow Dwarf who tells me that I'm only 1 of 4 Dwarves that exist on the surface world, the rest had all returned to the mountain halls to live. He also has a trolley-tray thing, that seems to be the common mode of transportation for Dwarves, I shan't question it. Both me and the other Dwarf were old and bearded, very similar to LOTR Dwarves. Anyways, we decide that we should unite the last of the surface Dwarves and travel back to join our fellow brethren within the mountains. We encounter another bearded Dwarf after an incredibly and unquestionably short amount of time, he is old like us, and a little bit crazy looking. We tell him of what we're doing, and for some reason we have to hurry and leave, we're about to get chased. The first Dwarf decides he will stay behind, he can't come with us because he won't make it, the second Dwarf jumps off of his trolley and onto a lever, then smiles crazily and goes 'oopsy' (he seemed to be working for the people that were about to start chasing us in order to pay off some debt, but he broke the rules and pulled the lever). The lever releases a huge trolley roughly 5mx5mx1m, I roll onto it and turn around, the second Dwarf jumps back onto his trolley and rolls his way swiftly onto the large trolley, and then in an inspiring moment the first Dwarf makes an effort to join us, making it in the last second before the big trolley zoomed off down a wide track.

Phew, safe, the bad guys slip from our minds at this point. The track we're on is like a really wide BMX track in the woods, we zoom off down this track. One of the Dwarves jump off and starts riding his own trolley in front of us, he zooms ahead and occasionally burrows through the ground, then shoots out of a nearby wall and back onto the track. These Dwarves are master diggers or something. We stop after a while to get the last Dwarf. This Dwarf is way younger, and tall like a human, he looks exactly like Will Smith. We convinced him to push us on the large tray-trolley, I sit at the front and pull out a pipe and start smoking it Bilbo Baggins style. I crack a few random jokes about the trolley being a dragon and the smoke I'm breathing being its breath, in retrospect this made no sense -.-... At some point the dream jumps again, I'm the usual old me and I'm skyping my gf, but I feel that somehow it was a coherent transition from the Dwarf adventure.

We skype and her two friends are with her, they're both blonde and one has a few piercings. They apparently have a couple monkeys, this part felt quite vivid when it comes to the monkeys - they seemed so lifelike when I 'woke up' (remember the note) that it spurred me to realize that I HAD been dreaming after all. The conversation with them goes on for a few minutes, but I get the feeling it felt longer than it actually was. They point the camera feed towards the monkeys that are having an argument, one is about 20 inches tall, the other about 30inches. The big one is telling the little one off for dressing up in a pink apron, the little one turns around for the big one to take it off (kind of like a parent telling it's kid off) and it rolls its eyes and its tongue hangs from its mouth lazily, it sighs in annoyance at its fellow monkey.

Somehow my gf is next to me now, she is leaning towards the computer and makes a remark about my room "Ugh what's that smell, it smells like duck shit". To which I respond "I don't know, who cares, maybe a duck came in here and took a shit?" *nonchalant look on my face*
Coincidentally, a duck waddles across my desk all of a sudden, it nips my arm and I try to grab it, then it flutters around frantically as I hold it in my left hand. It then flutters at me in defense, it nips my neck which I feel really intensely. I wake up in an intense spasm, my head pressed against my left shoulder.

I forget what exactly the first part of the dream was about, it had to do with a trip on a bus, but I had a false awakening and I remember feeling really disoriented and I looked at my hands, and I had only three fingers on my right hand and I moved it around and saw it changing and I went lucid. Suddenly I was standing upright thinking about how I read in the maintaining lucidity section that I needed to spin around to hold on to it, but it didn't really seem to work. I felt like I was losing control of the dream and I realized that I probably had just enough time to quickly attempt the task of the month, so I looked around for a pumpkin and sure enough I suddenly found myself in my kitchen with a pumpkin in front of me that was already cut open.

I got excited because I was REALLY hoping I would be able to do the task of the month but I wasn't sure if I would be able to go lucid the way I usually do until this weekend, which is waking up and then sleeping in. I opened up the pumpkin and looked inside, and inside I saw cotton lining the pumpkin with tiny black dots, like black seeds in the cotton. I remember being really disappointed that the pumpkin was empty and that was when I lost lucidity.

In the next part of the dream, I remember being on the yard at my middle school and really not much else.

It all started in a car. It was a red renault 5 i was driving with my friend ojki. And I starred at the window wipers. I was amazed. Waaw.. i have never seen a wiper cleaning a window like that before, everything was so clear. And then my friend said.. we must hurry because they guys on the radio said that a torando is aproaching. We looked at the sky far away in front of us, and we saw a big mass coming our way. And on the right side of this superevil cloud there were small lightnings. It started to rain. And we were near a river. There was an radio tv transmiter antena.. like 50m high. it was in red and white. And because of the weather forecast they were putting it down. It was like a lift bridge. the antena just went down on 90 degrees angle over the river and locked itself. So it looked like a bridge. And when it was all the way down.. my shirt was stuck between the antenna and its holder. I said great and pulled with great force.. i did save the shirt.
Then we drove further and we stopped at some house. now there were 3 of us. We went into the house like we were swat team. I heard something in my ear.. because apperantly i had headphones on my head.. and there was chief comander speaking.. that this should be no problem for us.. because we should know this house till now. Ok i said.. i guess they know what they are doing. Then i tore down a door. And there were lots of people in that room. I pointed my gun at one of the guys. It was a double barrel shotgun. But i thought it was a machine gun. I said everybody stand up.. and face against the wall with your hands up. One of them didnt want to listen. He was walking towards me, and i shot him in the leg.. ratatatat.. so it is a machinegun i said to myself. Now everybody was standing as I said.. but they were hidding behind a curtain.. but all of them were facing the wall with their hands up. I told them, they should stop hiding before the next one will get hurt. And they didnt listen again. I tried to shoot the next one.. and my sound from rifle was just.. click..click. shit.. it is empty.. i ran out of the room, into another one.. where my boss was located, it was a she. I approached her with such anger inside. I screamed at her.. what is wrong with them.. i have no backup.. no ammo left.. give me a gun. .or ammo, beacuse i will shoot everyone down there. and she refused. she said im not in the mood now. And she has pissed me more.. WHAT!!! you are too lazy? Ok then.. i hope they come up here and shoot you .. you lazy bitch! those were the exact words i said to her. And then these guys really come in.. but they were appologizing for what they have done. We all left the building together and a party begins. We were pouring wine from big canisters. 20l. And then i said to my friend.. well i think it is better that we leave now.. because we should not drink more if we want to drive home.. and we left...

(Yesterday.)

I'm a man trying to calm a situation down so that I won't wind up in a cell. It would be for a minor charge, but my situation's complicated. There's this woman I made a deal with a long time ago - I brought her to this world ('this world' is for all intents and purposes the same as IRL), and she freed me from the curse that had locked me up back in our own world. But there's a catch - if I'm locked up in a cell even for one night, that old curse will find me again, I'll be trapped again. I think of that as her 'winning' - we help each other often but I don't like her much. I'm afraid of being trapped, but I'm also afraid because if I'm trapped I won't be able to keep up the illusion that makes me look human.

(Today.)

A woman and I had been standing in the middle of a road surrounded by trees, discussing something - a car comes, the driver sees us, he swerves, he crashes. I'm irritated at the interruption, but I go over to the car so I can get a meal out of this before emergency services arrives. The scene changes abruptly - one moment I'm walking towards the car, the next moment time has passed, emergency services have already come and there's a crowd of people around. The woman and I leave and transform into a cloud of bats. In all my vampire dreams this has never happened before, and I pause to enjoy the novelty and absurdity. My perception's different. The sky is a brilliant saturated blue with something shimmering about it, and the air gives me the impression of containing new angles, like unseen tunnels.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

I and a group of other people, all of us foreigners in this place, had been talking to a group of women on a small 'island' - just a heap of stones really. We're very frustrated. We're trying to get them to do something for their own good, and they're not cooperating. They end negotiations and vanish into thin air.

Still as the POV character from that last scene, I'm walking around the grounds of some large estate on a hill, with a gated entrance visible not too far away. I'm speaking to a woman all in pale gold - everything's pale gold, her robes, her hair, her skin, the mask that she wears that covers her whole face something like a welder's mask, only revealing one eye. She has her own issues with the people from that 'island' - she's saying they're against her and her plan simply because of her mental illness. She resents them.

I'm sitting on a wooden throne and talking to a man who's going through a bout of existential despair, and he's asking me about coping with vast spaces of time, with immortality - how do you do it? I find this hilariously awful - you're asking me?

I was in a special room with two guys I don't know. We were talking about how we could fall asleep. All of us started suggesting things until one guy took out a piece of gum with a smiley face. He told me to chew on it and it will make me fall asleep quick. I said okay and ate it but the other guy was complaining about me taking it. The other guy who gave me the gum told him to shut up and pulled me into a relaxed position so I could fall asleep better. For a second I felt I was knocked out by the gum and we got excited that it worked so well. We than separated and I started talking to my family. My mom was telling me she was really mad because someone stole her plants in her garden.(We don't have a garden in WL) I told her to calm down because I will help her find the culprits. As we walked we ran into neighbors(We don't talk to them) and the lady started talking about how she had a weird dream last night. She was upset about something in it and said she felt like something was amiss in it. I than told them there are times where you can be lucid, aware that your dreaming, semi lucid and non lucid. They interrupted me though and started talking about something else about dreams. After that the dream became really vivid and it felt even realer. I walked for a bit and a peppy little girl came up to me and said she wanted to talk about dreams with me. She bragged about how she succeeded in three share dreaming attempts and was wondering if I wanted to try it. I said no though cause I didn't want a stranger invading my mind. She said ok but if I could pick up her favorite music CD that helps her fall asleep to the sleepover. I said no cause I didn't want to have a sleepover with her but she insisted and kept begging me so I said okay. I went to the other room and started looking for them but than noticed my other cousins and brothers were going to play a game. They were also looking for headphones with a microphone so I asked if the one I found was theirs. They said no so I just walked into the room where they were going to play and started playing with a rubber band. The rubberbands's texture was so real that I was surprised when I woke up. I was even thinking what if the little girl is actually a real person that invaded my dreamscape three times.Haha But that can't be true....Or is it? O.o lol jk
