Morning of March 14, 2013. Thursday. In my very vivid dream I am walking west with my family (wife Zsuzsanna and children), but seemingly in Brisbane instead of our present home. To the south (coming from Brisbane) is a tidal wave far in the distance rising up over the buildings. I tell everyone else on the streets to run and I keep saying that a tidal wave is coming. I then say, however, that we need to get to the hospital which is only about a block away in our present real-life location but does not fit the in-dream location. I say that because it is the tallest building in the immediate area in real life otherwise and I am thinking of getting every member of my family to the roof. However, the event is getting closer and closer (probably with more speed and height than realistically that far inland). Firstly, I worry a bit about my youngest son, but he is close and is still with us. I see other people running but they do not seem very frightened. I soon feel an amazing sense of cool water rushing down heavily onto me and see bits of foam everywhere. As we are trying to get up the wooden steps to the second-floor level of a building (the first floor is likely fully open with just storage space as are a lot of homes here) and with a taller building just behind me, it is an amazing feeling, incredibly vivid in terms of weight and pressure and overall sensations. However, I am fairly certain that had it been real it would have knocked me down and swept me away, but it is refreshing, even exhilarating, in-dream. It only causes me to bend down a bit as it hits me. We manage to get up to the living room (there seems to be a “mirrored” flight of steps on the opposite side from where we entered). It appears to be a couple of Aborigines dressed in business suits (man and woman, about forty, facing each other at about twenty degrees) and standing near the front of the room. The television is on. I get the sense that one or more people had entered before us (through the opposite “mirrored” side) and may have already left or are in a different room. Another tidal wave comes, but it does not seem that dramatic. The water seems to be about waist-high outside.
3.13.14 nap around 5 -7pm I was thinking last couple of days, and thinking about me telling people, how when I think in a dream that it's WL, but I RC anyway. So today, I'm walking in circles around this counter island (like a kitchen island) in the large bathroom, when I think I should RC, because eventhough I know I'm awake, "what if"? So I check and I have 6 fingers. I walk through a neat, clean and organized small apartment. Beds are made, and most is in grey and matching colors. I look into rooms, looking for my husband. I yell out his name "peter" and I ask myself in surprise "wow, my husband's name is Peter?". I know he is not home, it's way too quiet. I'm ready to exit throught the main door, when i see a mirror and I think I should walk through it. I have never done it before. Then I see a large mirror hanging on the entry door, that I was gonna walk through to leave. So I decide to walk into that mirror. For a second a remember how people say it can be scary, but I don't care and I know it will not be. Mirror feels like liquid metal, or like surface of the even horizon, like the watery thing in Stargate. I walk through it, and I'm about to put second foot throough, when with corner of my eye I see my husband climbing inside through the window. So I go back, go into the bedroom, we get undressed and we do it. Yeah. All the while I'm telling myself "noooo, don't waste your time on THIS AGAIN". But I'm not listening to myself. The urge is strong in this one. Ps When I realized I'm dreaming, I didn't get the out-of-this-world-happy feeling as I normally do. I hope it will come back. Although, maybe that's why I didn't wake up after 30 seconds this time. Because the happyness didn't wake me up.
Before I actually write about my dream last night, I'll write about the common thing that I noticed I repeatedly dream about. *When I was a kid, we moved houses twice. One when I was younger than 10 and one when I was older. Then we left the country and moved here to the US. When I dream, the surroundings is very familiar, that is, I'm back at my old house at the country I left 8 years ago. Sometimes it was the first house we lived on, sometimes it was the second house we moved onto, and sometimes it was the apartment, or the final house we lived at before leaving the country. ~Dream last night~ IT's a little fuzzy and I can't remember much, but I dreamt about being inside then going outside a van. The van was parked at a wet market in my old country (again) Hm... then later in my dream I'm pretty sure Minato from Naruto was there. o.O His hand was bleeding. Yea that's all I remember. Phooey. Failed attempt at Lucid dreaming. I didn't "wake up" inside my dream like the other night. lol. ~~~ I wonder why I keep dreaming about PLACES I haven't been to for more than 8 YEARS. It's weird. It's like revisiting the past, and everything is familiar. ><
Yesterday: 1. Mom is teasing dad about something he had when he was younger, which he gives me to me. I see a Pokemon-type map in my head and wake up. Inspiration: My Pokemon Platinum memory palaces. I'm working on one that uses floors. 2. I was lying down in bed last night after going through my palaces and noticed that the white light behind my eyelids reminded me of an angel. I visualized one flying down from the heavens, and saw an outline of the angel’s face in the lights behind my lids. Then I was struck with a sudden recall of having been in…a library? After a bit more thinking, I remembered the main dream I’d forgotten from the 12th. I was going down floors that were labeled in alphabetical order, and items under that letter were in each place. I stopped on a few floors I believe. One had a food buffet (W?). At one point I go to the bathroom, and it’s dirty. I try not to touch the seat as I go. Someone peered in and I said ‘Don’t look!’, covering myself with a trashcan lid, because it was embarrassing to be seen using such a dirty restroom. I accidentally sat on the toilet seat lid. I wanted to find Wiccan things, so I went down to floor W. I went right to the bookshelves. I saw The ‘Circle of Three’ series by Isobel Bird, but since I’d already read them multiple times, I passed them up. I found a book I hadn’t seen before and was looking at the cover as I held it. I think there was someone else there? Inspiration: The ‘Geia’ dream, most likely. I need to add ‘dirty bathroom’ to my dream signs. Today: 1. Something about Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Crème in a block. Inspiration: I made a recipe that used it last night, and found it to be very messy! But delicious. Notes: I couldn’t go back to sleep after 6:33am even though I was tired and comfortable. My brain was too active. I did take about an hour nap in the afternoon, no dreams that I remember. I had a really miserable day because of my allergies going berserk. @_@
I was making cheese breads from the box that my friend gave me. My manager was talking to me, and he was asking me if I want to move up in work.
3.13.14 Last night bed 1am - 9:45 am. Second day off. DR - I'm stocking shelves - Somebody brings me 5 gallon tank of helium, and I'm like, oh no - and a long dream, which I forgotted
I was in a trailer park area with many cars and people. My family was using my Dad's old truck. I begin walking around and somehow realize I am dreaming. After the fact, I do the nose pinch RC. It works and I am able to breath easily. Now I start walking around to decide what to do. I find NC and decide to try flying. I cannot do it immediately and so start flapping my arms and jumping. NC does as well. I get more height this way. However, I still cannot fly completely. I give up and continue walking. I find ML and ask to borrow her phone as I want to try and call my Dream Guide. She says she does not have it and is sorry. I say it is completely OK. I am back at the truck and realize the dream is getting fuzzy. So I spin and try to stabilize the dream. I also kneel to the ground and touch the truck and ground. I pick up the sand and let it fall through my fingers. This seems to help a lot. Next I begin looking for my phone but all I can find is every other electronic device my family owns. I check in my backpack and bed of the truck. Nothing. Soon the black guy from Leverage walks up and asks me if I am in the black market because of all the electronics. I say no and ask him to leave. He says fine. But he does not leave. He stars breaking up the electronics. I walk up to him and start talking to him but then close my eyes and try to will him away. He thinks this is a joke and punches me in the face. I punch him back and then try to will him away. Again it does not work. This happens again until I realize it is a dream and wake up.
I was in a large library. Many other people were there to checkout books on various composers etc. We wrote down the subject of the book and any other distinguishable features and the librarians found all the books for us. Soon there was a tall stack of books about Scriabin for me to look through. Next I was in a very nice hotel with other musicians. We were waiting to perform for something. Eventually we realized we had to leave. We left the hotel. However, I had to go back inside to get my clarinets.
I was browsing imgur and introducing AL to it. First we were on user submitted and she was not really laughing. Then I realized and switched to most viral. We both started laughing so hard. I was very happy. Then I was at a party at AB’s place. I did not know many people and so felt out of place. Then I was in bed pretending to be asleep as people walked by. LS walked by and said something about making out with me if something were different. Then LS and another girl started kissing. This was very vivid. It gradually became more intense and passionate. Then I was on a boat with my dad and we were fishing for shark. It was difficult to catch any. He cast a line that landed near a blue fish and that fish immediately took the bait. I reeled the line in and realized there was still bait. As I got the line on the boat I noticed a shark below the boat. This freaked me out. Then I was in the kitchen of a restaurant. The cooks were busy and so used imported shark meat. I tried some shark meat and it was all right. I wondered if it was the shark we might have caught.
Night of January 5, 2014 My family and my aunt and uncle and cousins are doing a bike ride thing. We are all on a bus with an instructor and soon leave to bike down a long and winding road. I have a mountain bike, but my cousin has a road bike. We leave the bus and start riding. I can keep up with my cousin pretty well. When we get to a stopping point I realize that my body is completely drenched with sweat. My hair is longer than usual and is almost completely wet. After this we are in a house. My cousins are in the bathroom. I need to take a shower so I knock. AL asks who it is. I answer and he says come in. I am surprised as KL is also in there taking a shower. I open the door and AL is on the toilet. He soon leaves and it is just KL in the shower (which has no curtain) and me. The situation feels both awkward and nice. I try not to stare at KL but she seems to be completely fine with the situation. Next I am in the living room of my own house with my family and we are about to go to a water park. I know it is a Monday and at the water park there are hardly any people. I am very excited and drag my family along to as many rides as possible. One ride is a tube ride but I ride it with my pillow instead. We continue to ride more rides until I wake up.
Night of January 4, 2014 I am at a get together with family and friends. I was outside with some of my friends and people I didn’t know very well who all had long boards. They encouraged us to ride with them around the parking lot. I received a regular long board although some people had short ones and even some that were circular. TF was there and he went and bought a short one. We rode around the parking lot very fast and dodged cars narrowly. We raced but I fell at the turn unable to turn sharp enough. Afterwards, I seriously debated buying a long board from one of the stores but did not. LP and AL and I walked inside looking for a bathroom. There was a McDonald’s (apparently the largest in the world) with two stories and a glass ceiling high above the ground. We walked up to the second floor and found the bathrooms. The men’s was on the far left. I walked in and saw only urinals, which were all to tall for me. So I tried to create one the right size. Then I was in a dimly lit room with Uncle P, CL, my cousins, AL, some bros. We are all saying goodbye to CL for someone reason. She gives goodbyes to everyone then walks up to me last. We hug for a little bit. Then feeling slightly awkward I saw “I really miss you”. And she embraces me again and kisses me intensely. The kiss seems to go one for several minutes. Then CL starts breathing in my breath. It felt so odd yet so good. To copy her I start to do the same, breathing in. Finally the kiss stops. She says now let me do the same. We kiss again, just as long, breathing in and out of eachother. Then she manages to create a flute sound out of the kiss and plays a quick melody with an arpeggio that went up and down to a tonic pitch which diminuendos. However, the last pitch was slightly out of tune. She stops the kiss and smiles. She looked different than I had every seen her. She looked different and her hair was short and curled slightly. I felt so good and was sad to go, but my family walked away. When we got to the stairs my mother tripped over a cord and fell all the way to the bottom of the stairs. I was listening to Periphery on my iPod and went down to check. She was completely motionless although I was not worried. The dream remained like this for a while. Fin.
Night of December 15, 2013 I am at the movies with my family. We are seeing an R rated movie. Food is allowed in the theater, which surprises me. I sit down and also have a beer. It is a Saint Arnold’s. I drink some and feel buzzed quickly. My dad also has a beer and we try each other’s. The movie starts but the audience quickly realizes that it is the wrong movie. So, people start leaving. I do not realize this so quickly and so stay a bit longer. Eventually my family gets up and leaves as well. However, it is difficult for me as I am very buzzed. I am at my house with someone else. Soon someone appears at the front door. I let them in and it is someone who wants to play a quartet with the two of us. I agree, slightly upset. I go to the bathroom to prepare but I am being made fun of. Also the sink is broken and the roof is leaking (because it was raining hard outside I think). Also I can hardly open my eyes, especially the left. It is like I am high or tired. I go to my room to prepare for the rehearsal. I check the light switches and one is different. It is a black circular switch. I press it and it gives off a very faint light. Then I twist the switch and the light rotates around the walls of the room gradually becoming brighter. At a certain threshold, the light becomes dramatically brighter. I set the switch right before it becomes dramatically bright.
October 18, 2013 I am asleep and dream that we arrive home. I know this is impossible because it takes two days to get home from where we are. But I am walking through my house and to my surprise details are extraordinarily vivid. I can read the text on cups on the counter. Finally I realize that this cannot be real. I am dreaming. So I walk quickly upstairs thinking about what to do. I try and imagine a girl in my bedroom. She does not appear so I grab my yearbook to help me visualize. But, humorously it is a first grade year book. Deciding that this is a dead end I go downstairs. My mom is in the kitchen. I cannot remember what she said to me. So I continue outside. I find it easy to get caught in the dream state again. My dad also says something to me. In our driveway is a huge blue truck. I realize definitely that I am dreaming again. So I use the nose plug RC. To my surprise I breathe. Now I am excited! I walk down my sidewalk and think I should try flying. I start jogging then running and jump with each step. Eventually I go higher until I sustain some altitude. I also flap my arms to gain height. My dad is following me the whole time, which is slightly annoying. Here the dream gets fuzzy and I wake up. In the first part of the dream I was in the car falling asleep. I saw two bugs, which scared me a lot. When we arrived home my eyes kept closing but amazingly I could still see. It seemed that when I opened my eyes the dream became less clear. But when I closed my eyes I could see the dream. So I made myself close my eyes the entire time.
I'm with my father in the car, and so is a friend of mine. I'm telling her that in the USA they're building rollercoasters for cars, in which you use your own car. We're driving through some kind of 'secret' company, so we're not supossed to be here. A guy appears and tells us that if we scratch his car there will be consequences. All of sudden the main plot changes and my friend is no longer here. Now I'm out of the car watching that we don't crash with the big window in front of us. I reduce the impact but broke my middle finger. Now we are inside the building and I tell another guy that I want to call the God to heal me. He tells me that it's only to see the future, that we can't use it whenever we want. Suddenly he appears and tell us that we will see that we won't be able to see the future anymore. He starts to summon something on a table. A baby starts to form, first the bones appears and then the flesh. He's covered in bandages and when the God ends they fall to the floor, making able seeing the new creature. He opens his eyes and stares at us, when I realize that there's something on his forehead; a big red eye that he opens after a few seconds. I wake up.
Wallet problems I'm at Home Depot, carrying a few items. At the check out, I can't find my Home Depot card. The cashier thinks I'm goofing off and reminds me that it's time to pay. I apologize to the female cashier, explaining it's a great wallet, so thin and easy to carry, but sometimes it makes it harder to find cards. I go through my wallet pulling out all sorts of other cards and even old receipts. A customer is now in line behind me, and I apologize to him. I end up dumping out the entire wallet, but still no Home Depot card. Now I'm sitting in a cab, in the front passenger seat, except the driver is to my right. The cashier is the driver. I'm still looking for the card. She's driving all over, and I'm searching deep in my wallet. It's hard to keep everything organized on my seat. Eventually I give up and she stops. I ask her what I owe and try to think how big a tip to give her. I know I saw a $20 bill in my wallet, and that I saw at least one other bill. Twenty is too much, but maybe a ten? She suggests that as her tip I could get her some of her favorite music. She really likes a style called ???, and she's missing ??? and ???. I go to write down those names, though she changes the second one to Ogre ???. Now I'm walking around in a crowded downtown area. At an intersection ahead of me, a man stands in the middle holding a flashing red pole about his height. A fire truck edges through the intersection turning right (my left). As I think on this, I notice a couple of foreign men walking ahead of me, and I decide to follow them through the crowd. I just want to leave, and it looks like they're on their way out. Sure enough, they lead me back to the parking area. As I part ways with them, one of the guys notices a set of signatures on a column. They're all very nicely caligraphed and I suspect they're from the city founders. He figures it's some kind of guest registry, so he grabs a pen and adds his own name. I don't say anything, just keep walking, snickering to myself. Now I'm getting out of a cab. I see a minivan next to us with a small girl getting into the van in a strange way, somehow sliding down the front passenger seat. The cab driver comments that she did that as a kid. Fragments I'm flying around a construction site collecting bonuses. I'm push-starting some medium-sized chunky toy cars. I'm gracefully moving around on winding foot bridges over water.
