    1. A row of spears and three peaches

      by , 05-02-2014 at 08:30 PM
      Fragment involving Odin and Thor. And later a fragment involving Persephone, which referenced an older dream where the McKittrick had been a journey to the Underworld.

      I'm hanging from a tree, holding onto a branch with both hands, dangling above rows of spears planted in the ground. I believe I've been slipping in and out of a dreamworld, and I need to get back, there's something there I need to accomplish. I consider that this place might also be a dream - but whether it is or not, I still believe I need to get back to that other dreamworld.

      Below me, just beyond the rows of spears, there's a woman who reminds me in some fashion of a lizard. If she'll do me a favor that will help me get back to that dreamworld, I promise her a jar of three peaches. Someone else has promised her two peaches to do something different - that someone else is a good friend of mine, but we haven't been able to consult with each other recently, so we've accidentally wound up getting in each other's way. Now the lizard-woman's torn, deciding between the two offers, but I'm thinking it'll work out well for her whichever way she goes.
    2. Cruising Forcefully (Task of the Month)

      by , 05-02-2014 at 05:27 PM
      I'm on a cruise ship sailing into port. I'm lounging on the Lido deck and looking at the ship parked next to us, which appears to be from Royal Caribbean judging from the distinctive crown and anchor logo. Everyone else is buzzing about going ashore, and I should probably be getting ready myself, but where am I? I have no idea what port this is. I have an idea that feels brilliant: I'll check Google Maps on my iPad and see what my current location is. But it's not so simple. Google Maps takes forever to load, refuses to show my location, and seems really hung up on a landlocked plateau in South America. I give up and run to my cabin. There's a Costco reusable shopping tote on the floor, and I ponder whether it belongs to me or to one of my roommates. I'll have to see where I can get one for myself. I pop into the bathroom and use the toilet. I look out the window as I'm going -- and realize that this isn't a toilet, but actually a lounge chair on the balcony and people on the ship next to us are watching me pee. I look over and realize my stepmother is sitting on the lounge chair next to me, and she has a look of disgust on her face.

      I must have started to wake up. The dream ended, but I realized I was still physically asleep while my mind was awake. I needed to take advantage of this!

      I really can't remember my last dream (in fact, I didn't remember anything from the cruise ship until I got up later) but I can remember only one of the tasks of the month: use the Force. I picture an inflatable blue ball, sort of like a cross between a basketball and a soccer ball. I toss it around a bit using the Force to guide it up and down, back and forth. The ball deflates and one of my coworkers appears, a woman who is not that bright. She offers to show me where I can get an air compressor. I follow her until she finds the appropriate model. Then, using the Force, I shove her away and prevent her from saying any more useless things. Then I use the Force to insert the needle attachment into the ball, connect the hose to the needle, and telekinetically flip the on switch on the air compressor.

      I feel that using telekinesis just isn't enough. I let the Force flow through me, and suddenly I feel thousands of Expanded Universe characters crying out in despair over being erased in the new movie. That's a shame. I really liked Jaina Solo.

      I try to think of other things I want to do, and I see a door open. Inside are a couple of men wearing suits. I remember a dilemma I was having with my boss and I summon him out of the room. Then I use the Force to pin him against a wall and tell him, "You will approve my request to supply power to the display models in my department." He looks terrified and nods in agreement. I can hear birds chirping outside and realize I'm losing the dream. The problem with using the Force for everything is that my sense of touch helps me stabilize. I summon a light saber so I can grasp the hilt. Unfortunately, instead of a "real" light saber, I get my friend's toy light saber. I feel the plastic hilt and try to focus on summoning a more realistic light saber like one from the movies, but I wake up too quickly.

    3. My First Lucid Dream

      by , 05-02-2014 at 03:59 PM
      Sam K was driving me and Sophie around the mountains where there was loads of road works. The pedals were slippery and she kept accidentally hitting the accelerator instead of the brake. Me and Sophie would jump and panic and scream every time and then Sam said she just wanted to floor it so she did. She sped around a corner and there was a car there so she turned sharply to the left and sent us flying over a cliff. The car rolled in midair and I could feel myself waking up. This is when I realised I was in a dream, I remembered a conversation that two guys at work were having about lucid dreaming and James had said to stay in the dream you have to fall backwards so I tried to fall backwards but it was too scary to commit to it! I was worried that I would see my friends or myself get killed in the car accident once it finally hit the ground so I woke up instead.

    4. Not a Good Candidate Home

      by , 05-02-2014 at 11:46 AM
      We were house hunting. Looked at a house much further north from here, near a bay. There was standing water in the walkway to the house, and a sign said that one must be 18 years old to wade across, otherwise walk around for 39 minutes. We talked to a local man. He said that this time of year this area was ok, but in the winter it was abandoned when all the tourists were gone, and the fog was so heavy one could not see. Despite all that I considered moving there because of the good schools.

    5. Bad recall

      by , 05-02-2014 at 10:53 AM (4th DJ-Attempt)
      -I can barely remember I'm trying to put something into place but it's very evasive. I think there's something about a friend of mine and his cousin from my school days.

      *Today my kids have the day off and as usual, they woke up very early in the morning.

    6. Kiss

      by , 05-02-2014 at 07:20 AM
      Yesterday I couldn't recall my dream, but today I had a bit more luck.

      Fragment 1:
      I dreamed that Damon kissed me. Suddenly I was on a island, that I don't know. I was alone with Damon, I thought, but there were more people around. There was a resort on the island.

      Fragment 2:
      I was in a bedroom laying on a bed. Damon kissed me and held me in his arms. We were getting 'intimate' when somebody bursted into the doors. Screaming and shouting and falling silent when he saw us. Damon covered me with a sheet and he left with the boy/man to take care of the situation.

    7. Flying Car

      by , 05-02-2014 at 04:01 AM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #310 – WILD – Time Unknown

      I have heavy HI and various short dreamlets. When this scene forms I recognize that it isn't real. Though it was a full on dream, I mostly thought it was just really intense HI so I go with the plot for now.

      Having just had a non lucid dream about camping and fishing, I am now in a car with my wife on our way to the lake. I am behind the wheel and decide I would like to make the car fly. I pull the steering wheel toward me like you might do in an airplane and the car lifts off the ground. I recall visuals from a non lucid dream about being in an airplane last week. I look out my window and see the ground drop away and then we are in the clouds. I turn to look in front of me and suddenly we are back on road.

      The country road looks vaguely familiar but I don't focus too much on that. Still stuck on flying I punch an imaginary button on the steering wheel and give a voice command to take us to the lake. I hear an extremely smooth and sexy woman's voice answer as the car's computer. It says something about taking skyway 14 and being there in 14 minutes.


      For some reason I am surprised by this and looking back I suppose lucidity has slipped away from me.. I make a remark to my wife about how cool it is that we can travel across the country in a matter of 14 minutes in our car. I think technology is so cool as I wake up.

    8. "Oddities" TV Series Dream

      by , 05-01-2014 at 10:03 PM
      May 1, 2014: I am driving as a passenger with the couple from the TV series “Oddities” (Mike Zohn and Evan Michelson) in a small mobile home that has, in its underbelly, a second vehicle like a miniature white van. We are traveling around taking pictures of birds.

      Mike Zohn says to me that they never purchase fuel for their vehicle. They simply steal it from executives, sports figures, and TV or movie stars that they know of in the area of the country that they are driving through at the time. I wake.

    9. 5/1/14 Quick Entry, LD Memory Slipping on This One!

      by , 05-01-2014 at 07:59 PM
      5/1/14* I remember thinking that I got #140, so waking memory was present in several spots during the night hinting at some good self awareness in spots including waking memory of a recent event in the last few weeks, but for the life of me I can't bring back the whole LD, just the "outline" of it. Usually I have no problem remembering LDs (unless I have forgotten a lot more than I realize) but on a few occasions in the past I have had the feeling that I had an LD during the night and then it would all come flowing back to me, remembering the details. This one must have fell into a false awakening I am thinking because of the recall issue and if I actually woke up from the dream I am sure I would have recalled more. All I know is that I was in a work environment when I noticed something weird and realized that I was dreaming. I remember taking off flying and ending up in a void and flying different directions while trying to imagine a new scene and at some point I was thinking that I got to LD #140. That's all I can remember for now. The other waking memory was of someone who left my company a few weeks ago and in the dream I realized that he no longer worked there but the dreaming mind created the scenario that he was just visiting. I even thought about whether or not I could get in trouble for letting him be in the building but seeing that other authorities saw him as well, I decided that it must be fine. Also interesting to me is that all 3 of the people have "g" sounds in their first names. In another dream(?) in work scenario "S" from office was pointing out why a particular request couldn't go out yet due to (bc) not being completed and that made complete sense in the dream and IWL reality. Other dreams include some self-surgery on the bottom of my toe, impatient with the doctor who had another patient in the room - a naked woman being examined. I removed too much tissue. Another dream I was on a spinning amusement park ride that was indoors and spinning quite fast with lots of "G's." For some reason I had the idea that FryingMan was on the ride as well and I remember joking around that "we're all gonna die!" like something was wrong with the ride and I remember one guy's face looking very concerned and I just laughed. At the end of the ride, the girl behind me was with another guy but she was touching my arm behind the cover of part of the ride in an intentional flirty way. I also saw a college couple having sex and the particulars gave a strong indication that this scene came about due to incubation. 140
    10. How to Have More Lucid Dreams - Asking the Subconscious

      by , 05-01-2014 at 07:34 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      Leading a group of people up a stone stairway, there are many roots and branches obstructing the way. I spontaneously realize I am dreaming, and tell the trees to move. They move, and then come right back. I tell them to move out of the way until we pass by - they move creaking and the roots curl back up into the ground, and leave an unobstructed path up the stairs.

      At the top, is a rather large porch type structure, with very ornate boards and railings. On one of the railing posts is a plate, on which sits a single waffle. All the DCs in my dream want waffles, and are hungry. It looks like a nice one, and I think about eating it myself! I comically recall Jesus turning one loaf of bread into many, and decide to do the same with this waffle. Blinking, everyone now has a waffle, and is enjoying a nice breakfast. To summon more waffles, I reach into my pocket, and expect to pull out a waffle each time. This works a few times in a row, then I pull out nothing, but act like it was a waffle, and frisbee an air waffle across the deck. As the pretend waffle leaves my hand, it turns into an actual syrup covered waffle, mid-air. I keep pulling them out of my pocket and throwing them at the DCs, amused at how they only appear once they leave my hand and soar through the air.

      With all the DCs pacified, I remember some of my lucid goals from earlier. I verbally asked myself / the dream that I recognized as being created by my own mind the following, "How can I have lucid dreams more often? and what is the best way to communicate with my subconscious?" I then saw a girl walking past the bottom of the stairs to the tree fort I was in. "Hello!" I shouted her way, excited to see this manifestation of my own mind. This scared her and she ran around the corner. I ran after her and apologized, "Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you, I just have a few questions." as I mentally thought of what I just asked moments ago. In direct answer to how to have more lucid dreams, she told me, "Oxycodon, and Hydrocoma" I don't know what those are, I assumed they were supplements or drugs or something. I wasn't expecting such a technical answer, so I had to repeat them to myself over and over. I just remember how the name sounds, so I spelled it phonetically, I am fairly certain there is another spelling if they exist at all.

      I don't want to rely on supplements or drugs, so I clarified my question further, asking her, "How do I have more lucid dreams without taking anything?" She tries to dodge this question by telling me she's cold. My initial reaction is not to turn up the heat to save money, but it's a dream! So I turn the heat up for her. I also use my mind to blast her with comfortable warming energy. She sits on the stairs, looks me directly in the eyes, and says, "When a cancer patient finds the cure, it's not so important that you get it right anymore" I am reminded of the practices of living a lucid life during the day, self awareness and memory. I feel that this is what she is referring to, albeit rather indirectly. I tell her, "I don't want to spend a lot of time doing something that won't work" She looks at me, and non-verbally tells me not to worry about that. She then tries to distract me by asking about a tattoo on my arm. I am still mindful that it is a dream, and that I don't have any tattoos, but since it is a dream, and I could have one in a dream, I look at my arm - still no tattoo.

      Laughing at her failed attempts to distract me from knowing it is a dream, I wake up, really having to pee.

    11. Woman in blue

      by , 05-01-2014 at 06:59 PM
      I'm looking at an image of a woman wrapped in this dress made of blue cloth; the cloth also wraps up her neck and over some kind of tall headgear in a way that reminds me of a nun, or some medieval headdresses. The only skin visible is her face - or it would be, except that in this image, she has the head of an elephant. I'm aware this is specifically something added to this image, it's not literally her face. It's representing something to do with the shape. I briefly see a second, similar image, using the head of an anteater instead of an elephant, reinforcing the point about shape.

      Scene change. That woman, with her own human face now - or at least, a woman in that same dress - standing in an immense room. A man's come to consult her. His skin has cracks running through it in a way that reminds me of magma. He's aware, as he approaches her, that this isn't the woman he's come to consult - she's a stand-in, a decoy, to protect the real one. He can smell the difference between them. He's about to say something about this, but he's distracted by noticing a different scent in the room. There's a dead body of a man lying on the floor a little way away, and now he walks back to that body and bends down to look at a circular metal medallion on the corpse's chest. He can smell two other people who were here earlier. One is his sister. The other, he asks the woman in blue about - a man he describes out loud only as "a writer," and his voice sounds annoyed. In his mind, he's thinking that this writer left for America years ago, and shouldn't be here now.

      Then I have the impression that I'm looking at one in a series of scenes showing an alternate past, of what would have happened if that writer hadn't traveled to America back then, but I only actually see one scene - a group of people, mostly adults, celebrating the 8th birthday of that previously mentioned sister, Julie.

      by , 05-01-2014 at 06:51 PM
      (this is graphic, you may picture some of the sexually explict moments if my dream!!) Me and my ex-boyfriend, my first and only were on a beautiful boat... We were on the lowest deck (which was pretty high) and all the sudden I see waves splashing into the deck! I was fascinated until I seen Roys (lets call him Roy) face, it was blank... So I just wanted to touch one of the waves and once I did I told him we need to leave! We were running up flights of stairs until we got to these bathrooms, we started dancing and a kiss led to a make out session... (here it comes) my ex boyfriend pulled his pants down and was Licking and suckling on his.. "Wang" ! I was about to join him when a man opened the door ! We ran out! And then some minutes later, EVERYONE on the boat was scrambling to get to the highest part of the boat, me and Roy were running up crowded stair (I was In front of him!) i felt a small pinch and i see the man who opened the bathroom door pulling Roy away from me down the stairs! :,'(, i didn't know what to do so i kept running and i found my aunt and told her that we have to go look for my ex lover! And she told me that the whole boat was submerged into the water three times!!!!!!! after that I woke up ha!

    13. The walking stone

      by , 05-01-2014 at 06:24 PM
      I'm cleaning the lounge and I find a feather under the sofa.
      It's a pink feather and I like it so much, like it was a treasure.
      I put it together with my stone collection.
      One of the stone seems angry at me, as feather is not a stone, and under its name appears a written, saying I'm wrong.
      I think again and in order to do not offend the stones, I decide to treat the feather with drops of amber.
      In few minutes the amber dries and I have a beautiful simil-stone with a pink feather inside.
      I put again the feather in my stone collection and this time everyone seems to be happy.
      I prepare a tea, but when I come back to look at the feather, it is not pink anymore, but blue.
      I'm happy as I like more the blue and I put it with the lapislazzuli.
      At once I see a stone which does not belong to my collection.
      It's like a pink sand stone, but I feel that someone puts it there to bother me.
      I pretend to do not look at that stone and the stone starts to move alone.
      It's an insect and it comes towards me and goes up my hand and arm.
      I'm petrified and I woke up screaming and trying to drive away that thing from me.

    14. Video Games

      by , 05-01-2014 at 04:55 PM
      This dream was long and weird, it has about 4 distinct "parts" only tangentially related to each other, but all interesting nonetheless.
      I was in a hotel-esque area which was actually an apartment complex for my college, I was rooming with my friend who I was incredibly mad at for some reason. I remember yelling at her, telling her how cold she is and how she never listens or cares and only uses me, she doesn't view me as a friend, and as I'm telling this I get so mad I eventually just punch her. She runs away buy I have no remorse, and go down to the recreation room of the apartment. At some point before that, I do remember seeing my sister and yelling at her too over the exact same things, which was weird. Now at the pool table in this games room, I see my friend's mother walk in asking where she is. I say she's probably in our room, but maybe not since our falling out.
      The dream sorta switches gears at this point, now it's Animal Crossing and I'm watching someone play, sort of like an LP. I see the person walk into their home for the first time and loom around, surprisingly the house was fully upgraded. Suddenly its as if there was a jump cut, and the house's layout changes completely. Now there's an obvious "hidden" wall and for some reason I'm terrified that a plane with crash thru one of the walls and crush the player. Using the shovel, the character enters the hidden room, which ends up being a narrow, empty hallway with nothing much of value at all in it. Walking back into the main room, there are now roaches and all around the floor. The character steps on them as per usual, but suddenly a scorpion appears. The player attempts to crush this one as well, but it won't die, and it begins stinging the character as he runs over it. The scorpion is eventually killed, but the character has been poisoned, and is leaking green liquid (presumably the poison) and blood before collapsing.
      Now I'm Nathan Drake, kinda. I'm being hunted, but I'm myself so far, and only hanging with Drake. we're on a bridge above the ocean being held at gunpoint, and a gondola is next to us, we are told to go into the gondola with the bad guy but as we're getting in we manage to cut the supports causing us to fall halfway up the rope. We both survive and the baddie was in a diff gondola with no way of reaching us, but i had a lot of wind knocked outta me and kinda started drowning. At this point I am Drake, and attempting to kill a man, but he gets the drop on me and points a gun at me, at this point time slows down and a message telling me how to counter appears, as a tutorial type thing. Suddenly I'm teleported away from him, and he holds the rest of the room I was in up (it was like a gift shop place). I kill him.
      The finalish part of the dream involves lamps, specifically baby ones. I'm in a hotel place, and in a room are some baby lambs which I had to take care of. they were adorable and jumped around and skipped around everywhere, at first they were scared of me, but I calmed them and they grew to like me. So now they're jumping on me, letting me pet them, and all while they're bahh-ing I can see subtitles translating what they're saying.
