All DJ Entries

The first part kinda takes place several months into the future. I just got an Xbox One (yes, I actually want one) and a bunch of games for it. I hooked it up and started playing the new Zoo Tycoon... or I was about to, but my stupid dream self never quite got around to it.

The second part was kinda like a rerun episode of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and I was in it. We were in a zoo (maybe I jumped into the game?). Cody and his mom were looking at animals in a pond, but Cody was sad to see animals in captivity. He found a way to raise the water level and free the animals. As he is doing this, he does an inspiring-sounding voiceover and the dream ends.

I was listening to binaural beats, but I woke up before the affirmations kicked in.

I was in this house that i was led to believe was one of the houses just inside my college campus and it felt like i belonged there so i talked to the people in the home and there was a black woman and her daughter in the house they where the maids but where very nice and kind i talked to them about an assignment i had to do and they gave me a summary of a chapter i was suppossed to read. i then said thank you but i had to run to get my bike and get to class before i was late. i then left the house and as i was running across the field i saw people running towards others in the field i went to one side of the field and asked one side what they where doing they said they where reinacting WW2 so i decided to play along and they made me an infantry man when we got into the next battle a guy next to me was "hit" so went up to him and asked where he was hit he said in the shin so i called a medic over as loud as i could scream he even helped me yell the medic then came over and placed what ooked like a wet paper towel over his leg (i.e: a bandage). Tehe next dream i was trying to find this ruby necklace from "alphas" i was led to believe that it had powers that i was keen to aquire but i was never able to get my hands on it.

Date: 31st Aug

Pre bed: 200mg valerian, calcium&magnesium

Total sleep time: 7 1/2 hrs

Comments: The night started not so well, as our guest was leaving and traveling in the middle of the night. No, we are not vampires.

Early mini-ld fragment (+2hrs): I am in our family friends' building, it is dark at night and I am running from the thought of something like an alien that can't be beaten up. As I go up the stairs, the last floor keeps on changing. I become lucid but still involved with the dream, I try to figure a way out of the situation. Our family friends (she and him) also appear up there and there are some thoughts of realization? about them and talking. She then says something rude to me that I wonder how to post on DV.

I wake up, still holding the memory of the dream in my mind, at that time fully accessible, but I soon fall asleep. I am woken up by our guest's alarm and we all get up, I have a very hard time falling asleep later. I go into unmemorable sleep for hours.

Fragment: I am angry and break a coffee cup

Fragment: I think I was trying to hook to a dream since I recall doing some repetitive movements in the scene and then the dream fading and I briefly acknowledge this in bed.

Pre ld fragment: I am about the witness a heartbreaking family reunion scene

Pre ld dream: We are in the tram/bus and this woman gives us some brochures with specific info about a female criminal. Nobody knows what this is about just me and my friend. Later on, I am in our old place and want to discuss the stuff with possibly my mom. However, before I do that, a classmate of mine gets me alone in another room, insisting to know what's this all about. I tell him I have no idea and get out the room. I see that he has some spy sound amplifying equipment and I go to my room and look for a some paper to write to mom that he is listening to us. He is also lurking behind the door. I grab a notebook and try to hide it from him.

LD: I am on the street in front of our old home and as I look around, realize this is a dream. I decide I would try to speed fly down the street. I take off and fly at high speed, but the street is not quite straight and I initially have difficulty taking a turn and get off track, then do a bit of maneuvering slightly similar to turning while swimming and am fast flying on the street again. It feels great but the only problem now is I move faster than my expectations so it's a bit uncertain what's in front of me. The street changes to facilitate that and now all I can see is trees on both sides moving closer together and I aim to fly straight in the center of all this.

I slow down, pass through the trees and end up facing something like a lake in the middle of an unknown neighborhood. I briefly wonder whether this would count for summon for the competition. There are houses and buildings to the left. I fly over the lake, feeling as if I am running out of fuel and try to land near the houses/buildings. There is a tall wall that separates them from the lake and I am looking for the right spot. I barely make it to the top of the wall with flying near a house that I like. I take a moment to relax and think about my next steps. The place where I have landed is not part of the wall anymore, but is the top of some structure, as if I am sitting on a chimney. I also perceive this thought as the image of the shadow of me on top of this place, right in front of me. The idea that I get rid of my human shape and jump/float ahead comes to mind.

Before I do anything, I take a look around and see that now am standing on an old bridge where there are the remains of large elephant statues in Indian style as part of the structure. They are extremely beautiful, decorations carved in the stone. I look at another one in front of me and see a date 1995, try to memorize it and as I stare at it the 5 changes into 7. I feel it's not a very good idea to keep staring like this as this may destabilize the dream. I remember CL's tech of boosting dream vividness and want to do that and enhance stability as well. I turn around and now there is a small elephant statue in front of me, so I run fingers on its surface and pat the stone a few times.

Right behind the elephant statue is a street that leads to a small plaza with yet another magnificent statue that I am not sure of what but there is an element that looks like wings with bits of gold on the edges/wing waves. There are lots of kids on the street, I notice they are dark skinned, assume they are Indian. A little girl with short hair and present day clothes comes to me and I decide I will engage in a conversation with her and concentrate as much as possible on that and her features (as if rl). She looks at me smiling, one of the happiest DCs I have ever seen. There is something about that little girl which fills me with both joy and sadness and I ask her "Is this where souls live?", she says yes and goes on that I also live here with her and shows me a building (perhaps close to Italian city style) to my right. She says we live together on the first floor. I am not sure I like living on the first floor, but accept this at the moment as I am very curious to see where I live.

The dream ends and I find myself in bed, contemplating whether to try a DEILD but my nose itches plus I am not very sure I want to mess up this memory. Time to wake up...

Been a member for a thousand years and never did anything!! I'll try to be consistent with this from now on. For now, I'll copy/paste what I've relayed to Keitorin and work on getting entries written every morning.

In both sets of dreams I was and looked like myself, but view was almost always third-person, only a few times did I see things through my own form's eyes.

These dreams are from August 31st, 2013:

1. I killed somebody?? Yeah, I was in this house and trying to get away from some policeman for some reason, think I was framed for something (but then went and actually commited a crime lolol) so then I went into a neighboring house and found a little girl hiding inside this high, deep cabinet full of door after door. Apparently some guys were looking for her, I dunno who but I get an FBI impression. Then we're found though, and everything turns out ok except for the cringe I made when shown the policeman's helmet and asked if I knew anything :P So then it's somehow decided I'm gonna take care of the girl because her parents are nowhere to be found and we start coloring Little Mermaid coloring books with crayons.

2. And thennn I was in some kinda game, bit like DN (Dragon Nest). I had to get past this gated bridge with a wall along the water but couldn't without getting a thing from a quest the gatekeeper lady gives me. She told me a riddle so I could go and find it but I can't remember what it was. Then I guess I was like 'fuck that' because I hopped on some big boat and drove it right through the apparently very shitty wall and went on my way. Ain't nobody got time for your silly quests, lady.

3. AND THEN I was in some living room with other people getting ready for a Halloween party but everything was kinda like Christmas because there were lights everywhere, little jack-o-lantern strings and stuff, and presents were going to be exchanged. So in there, my old friend Lindzy calls me and she's with a bunch of other people who are getting ready to come over and she plays a message Mojo from The Wigglian Way podcast left for me, wishing me a happy Halloween and I was surprised and happy XD

Note: I'm not actually sure of the order of the last two, feels like 2 might've occured in the middle of one or something, it was very fragmented.

August 27th, 2013: first known flying dream

I flew! :D Sorta. idk I was on an airship, like a Treasure Planet two-mast deal, except I was at the very front and couldn't see the ship and was moving my body and arms in a way that controlled the flight?? It was weird, but then a bit later I was down near the ground and flying all by myself, but I was getting tired and having a hard time keeping myself up so I was slowly descending while trying to 'jump' higher XD In the end I grabbed onto this telephone pole thingy and slid down it to the ground and that is the first time in memory that I've ever flown! :P

We were at our high school graduation but there was alot of people from my highschool there as well. It was pretty cool after the actual graduation finished I said lets go to an after party at which I saw myself a big house and I started telling everybody all the events that there was to do. At the after party everybody was drunk and crunk and there was this one girl that kept showing up everywhere but looked more familiar than all the toher ones most likely a girl from my RMEC high school. At some point in the party I was putting people in rooms together and I got into one room with this one person who turned out to be a green snake which all of the sudden I was like bitch you better turn into a hot as girl which the snake did without to much problems. After wards I find myself walking outside in the lawn and see the party fading out and people are talking on the side walk, I see one person throwing up in the corner. When Im in the lawn all of a sudden I thought of that pizza I had earlier before and a big box shows up in my hand and I wanted to get rid of it so I start handing out big slices to everyone and eat one myself, I have to say it was very delicious, I also remembering at one point I put some pizza to hang on a chain link fence because I had so many so I just left another 2 slices there to get rid of them. After that I see this girl named Jennifer from my high school talking to some people but never really interacted with her myself and I said bye to one of my closet friends which name is Max telling him that I really miss him and cant wait till he comes back down to Miami since hes in a up state university.

I want to thank my mother for this lucid dream. If not for her rambling to me while I was sleeping I would not have done a successful WILD. Her real time voice brought me just enough out of my dream to have a truly awesome experience.

I wasn't really dreaming anything before I herd my mothers voice in the back of my head, talking about who knows what. I herd it, but I wasn't listening to what she was saying when I found myself in a WILD state, except I was coming from a dream where I was dreaming of nothing. Let me emphasize here: I was waking up from her talking, found my mother was in my apartment, then started to go back into the dream before I was fully awake then found myself in a WILD. I decided to put myself somewhere, and found my vision looking down on a blank world. I realized that this world was mine for the editing and started using incredible lucid control to make entire forests and oceans appear out of thin air, then started populating my world with a variety of creatures of my own making. This world was my canvas, and my limitless mind the brush. I was thoroughly enjoying myself, waving my arms like a conductor as things appeared out of thin air on my very own world when I was woken up completely. My brain latched onto the dream as hard as it could before the mental cord snapped and I was opening my eyes to my apartment and a rather annoyed feeling, while my mother was going on and on condescendingly about how I needed to get my sleeping condition under control. The only thought going through my head was how the heck had she gotten into my apartment.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was walking on some street and some random dog tried to bite me in the arm, but as it tried it was unable to bite through my skin. I said something along the line "Not you", got the arm out of dog's jaws and continued walking further.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was going through some wooden place and then there was some open area, there was a wall with a barricaded hatch. I tore the barricade apart and opened it. I am looking through and there's a railway with some military people, trees and some tall buildings. More buildings appear as i look around and i realize that i am dreaming.
Suddenly i am back at home, at the kitchen, i talk to family DCs that are here and ask some dream control stuff, then i go into another room with a window and start shifting into quadruped stance, but dream fades out shortly.

Dream 3(fragments):

I am watching some pokemon anime and there was something about turning humans into pokemons and there was some black colored pokemon that was related to that, then i realized that i am watching episode not from the beginning and set it to beginning, but then i also realized that i am dreaming and that i would not be able to finish watching it... Then dream faded out.

I tried to DEILD but lost awareness.

Dream 4:

I am in some game and i am going through level that looks like something from Doom, green walls with pipes. Somebody says something about training course and i enter the passage and get to blow up some barrels using some weapon. Then there's another passage and light turns on as voice explains something about night vision, which i turn on. At this point i realize that it's dream, go out of the area back to the start and turn off night vision. As i return i try to expect that there should be flying course, and i find another passage which leads to the open area. The area is L-shaped and filled with lava at the bottom, walls are green and there are some brown metallic platforms. I take off and fly with my wings, and also feel my body changing shape slowly a bit. I also notice that my wings are black colored. I fly around some more and manage grab into walls to quickly change direction. Shortly i notice that i am slowly becoming slightly bigger as well.
Then some DC appears and says that "She shouldn't have left the cage open", i ask which cage and he answers "Your cage" and then adds that "It would be better for you to be in it", before i can do anything dream fades.

This dream is a very long one, but the first 3/4s of it is just the same basic thing happening. This whole dream my person is played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, for some odd reason that escapes me.

The majority of the the beginning of this dream my character is traveling from her home to another home that I think is a place she plans on vacationing. Her ex husband came along as well and this journey to the vacation home is just a bunch of walking along abandoned roads and talking about random things. When the vacation home is finally reached everyone goes to their prospective rooms and winds down. Mainly I was just walking around the house listening to people talk, and it was when I was sitting on the bottom bunk next to my dream ex husband when I realized I was dreaming, because I am not, in fact, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and I do not have an ex husband in real life. Upon realizing this I went lucid. I got up and started staring out the front wall of the house, which was made of glass. I was watching a bunch of creatures walking around and playing with each other in the front yard when I decided I wanted to create something. I was concentrating, trying to make a creature of my own to play with the other creatures, and I succeeded. Unfortunately the thing I made was more of a giant monster then a friendly creature. It was taller then the house, its hind legs were dog legs, it had long, skinny arms with clawed hands, its head was also canine with sharp fangs, and a skinny neck and body. It walked upright, but it was sort of hunched over, and it was fur-less, with pale white, purple spotted skin. I was watching it run around the yard when I somehow got it into my head that I needed to confront it. I went out into the back yard, telling myself that I was crazy, when the monster rounded the corner and started chasing me. I ran away from it to the far corner of the yard, which was fenced with a wooden fence, when I realized this thing would kill me, so I lucidly made myself impervious to damage. Just in time too, because it grabbed me and started lifting me to its mouth. I stuck my hands out and pressed them against its face, then lucidly gave myself the power to burn whatever I touched. Its face started to sizzle and it dropped me. I came to a sudden stop in mid air before hitting the ground, which was one of the perks of me being un-damageable, then got on my feet and started running from it again. I would also like to mention that my running was fa-nominal; I finally got past my mental barrier of not being fully able to do super human things in my lucid dreams without a mental strain and constant concentration. I ran like the wind when usually my running is very slow, like I'm running under water. Anyway, It chased me around, grabbing me, then when it failed to eat me it would drop me. This happened for the rest of the dream until I finally woke up.

All I wanna say is, Julia Louis-Dreyfus.... Really brain, really??

I am hungry! I am in the east side of my little town that has a taco bell and a McDonalds right next to each other. The McDonalds is refusing service to me because of a lack of car and the lobby is closed because it is night. I chill out a bit outside with my friends that didn't have this problem. I see something around back of Taco Bell.I run over and check it out. The back door is open, there are employees standing around. I ask them if they can help me out with some food. I feel someone's presence behind me. It is a girl I know in a bikini (see previous dream journal entry). I know something is off. She tells me that we are in danger and I hear something near the door I came in. I rush over and see a tiger, not a fully grown one, but not a baby. I rush at it to get it to leave, and it pounces. I dodge and put it in a headlock (learned from fighting a friendly German Shepherd all the time) I snap my hands around its jaw and decide not to kill it. I throw it like 10 feet away and it runs. I am dreaming. Mental RC and stabilize. I go up to a place that overlooks the forest (for some reason, other than the restaurants, my home town is a forest. I put my hands up and erase all the trees. Then I put them back up and decide it is too bright. I pudh the sun back down. I look at the forest and set the whole thing on fire. My sister is standing next to me and asks me to show her how to create fire. I end up with a good fireball in her hand. Edit!: I just remembered this end part. I close my eyes for 10 seconds and open them up. I am still watching the forest burning. I do this 4 or 5 times and then I wake up.

This is a lucid dream I had yesterday morning. The majority was not lucid, it only went lucid near the end but it was at a pretty good point.

The beginning of the dream I found myself living in a world where everything was still in it's natural state. There were no buildings or roads, the earth felt new. I was living in an ancient forest, and one day while exploring I found the edge of the forest and saw that a family had built a small home. I started to get to know them and eventually they considered me a family friend. I decided to live more in the open and built my living area on the edge of the forest where I could see my new friends. I mainly walked around the families property, watching them farm, when I herd news about something huge being built. I went over and saw that a enormous dam had just been constructed, making the river back up to form a lake, and leaving the land on the other side a huge, bare, hole with equipment in it. I just stared at this with awe, but at the same time I was deeply saddened. I picked my way through the hole, feeling unhappy about what they were doing to nature, when a girl about my age (she was played by my ex friend I stopped being friends with in 2011) asked what I was doing and I told her. She went back home and I followed her, intrigued about there being more people setting near by. I found she lived in a community, but a different kind of community. Each person lived in wall-less square sections that were defined by a black line on the ground showing their living space, but they did have a door that worked, even though it wasn't connected to a wall. There was also some kind of force field that when you tried to look into your neighbors living area it blurred your vision not allowing you to see them. I was standing in the girls living area, talking to her, when I realized that I was dreaming, because nothing like this could ever exist in real life. While talking to her I noticed she looked very depressed and I wondered why. At this time I herd some commotion outside and went to go see. I saw that an asphalt road ran between the two rows of living areas and a bunch of kids from them were out in the road talking about starting a race. They were going to start from this end, run to the other end and then back again. I asked if I could join in and they said they didn't mind. At this point, I didn't feel like running, and to make it more interesting I made mario kart vehicles appear by lucid means. The remainder of the dream was us all racing up and down the road while I used some lucid influence to keep myself from wrecking, and to make it even more interesting by making things like ramps appear. I woke up after we had raced a couple times.

After waking up I talked to my fiancée for a bit then tried to do a WBTB but failed as I couldn't go back to sleep. I almost did it though; I started getting some blurred, dream like visions playing before my eyes but just couldn't seem to fall asleep and gave up.

During a nap had another "chase" dream where I'm running from someone.... it's the 3rd on this week.

Im in a hurry while driving down a country road, there's 2 guys after me. I turn off onto a side road and turnj off the car. I feel relief when i see their mobster style car pass by.

[scene change]
I think I'm on a plane an fleeing to the front so get away from the 2 guys. I find a large walk-in closet and hide behind a bunch of coats, but leave to door open. The 2 men walk-by the closet and are looking in. One of them is quite distinct and ID him as a large white bald shaven man resembling Steve Austin in size. They apparently don't see me and disappear from sight.

I start to leave my hiding place but get grabbed and lifted off my feet and held out at arms lenght by the huge and who's now glaring at me. I feel afraid/panic and swing a large wide knife that stabs his face and cuts open his cheek and right eye. He screams and drops me and I start to run again! I can here him sounding pissed off shouting that he's going to kill me now!

Wake up, phones ringing.

Morning of September 1, 2013. Sunday.



This was recent (last night - seemingly night-long and into the morning), and, like a lot of my dreams, had so many scenes and details, it would likely fill at least twenty pages, so the best thing to do is describe some of the basics and the more “intimate” or more “dominant” scenes.

I somehow end up on an alternate Earth. This alternate Earth is not of the “twin planet” or “shadow planet” variety of past dreams (always in orbit on the opposite side of the sun according to some theories), but in a different dimension of which everything keeps going into an infinite number of other dimensions with endless other “Earths” with the idea that all of space (in “this” universe) is connected to other universes in wave constructs and is represented in theory by a mirror held up to another mirror - which supposedly shows infinity, where each image is duplicated back on itself - yet each alternate Earth in its own part of the infinite wave rather than being only an otherwise identical reflection. Much is the same (language, countries, and mainstream business seems the same), except that the society is fairly different in some ways, such as being more tribal and hunter-oriented (at least in some regions) with older types of weapons, which actually is quite anachronistic considering the higher (more advanced than in real life) technology I see later in my dream, although I guess it is all normal to them in overall orientation. Still, the mentality at times seems rather “primitive” in terms of a more “shallow”/fearful view of strangers and I do not think there are automobiles or certain other inventions. Also, certain types of food, plants, and so on, are quite different.

This almost seems like a very long “life review”, as many scenes relate to my early childhood and young adult years as well as more recent.

The first parts are about my first arriving on the alternate Earth. A couple people help me by keeping me safe from otherwise friendly hunting groups who may be dangerously afraid of my presence and attack me or keep me prisoner. They actually seem almost like cavemen in furs and “primitive” jewelry but with hunting gear from the 1920s. A lady nearly eighty years old seems to give me the most information on my new “home” and where to go before preparing to meet the members of this alternate society. There is some sort of fungus they collect which is used as the “cheese” of this world and collected mostly from the ground near certain forests. At one point, it looks like popcorn lying about on the ground everywhere. Even so, the older lady rudely claims that cheese is just a myth (even though it is visible everywhere - although it is possible she means real cheese which the inhabitants of this world forgot how to make, so it eventually became only legend).

A couple of smaller “monkeys”, but which are also supposedly adult humans (just from a different “tribe”), walk by me with spears (with no threat implied) - seeming just a little more human than monkey, but are only about three feet tall. They openly urinate in close proximity and I become annoyed. This reminded me of a real life period back in school where we had small monkeys in a large cage. They often came close to the students to dig into their shirt pockets.

I cross a truncated bridge nearly to the end, by hanging with my hands (even fingertips) - yet somehow moving along without falling. This is across from another similar (but newer?) structure. My wife is there (although likely the alternate Earth’s “version”) watching from near the bay. I finally get too tired to go on much farther, which does not matter as I have reached the end of the structure anyway. I land on a concrete platform - which is much closer than first thought so that I seemingly only fall about a foot - that serves as some sort of pylon. An elephant walks around on it and for a short time I am concerned I will be stepped on. This goes back to my early childhood in real life where my parents took me to see a trainer with an elephant in the parking lot of a store a few times (photos were taken) but which I was afraid at first and yelling for my parents to close the windows of the car. Also, I only recently caught the play on elephant’s trunk and the word “truncated”, as the elephant was on the last section of the bridge-like structure.

There also seems to be a slight connection to the Echo and the Bunnymen song “Silver”, relating to lines such as “My planet sweet on a silver salver”, “You’re living proof at my fingertips”, “Food for survival thought, mapped out the place where I planned to stay, all the way, well behaved, just in case it slips away…” and I am vaguely aware of its “distant” music at times.

We (again, my “alternate” wife?) and I meet a president-like character. It is revealed that he needs someone who can speak Russian, so I take the role after my wife advises him. He first needs to know the word for “goodbye” for some reason, which is “dasvidaniya”. I also tell him several other words and phrases which he repeats, such as “thank you” (spasibo, but said as “spasiba” as with many spellings ending in “o”), “horosho”, etc. Eventually, he already seems fluent in Russian and turns around to say “Chto (shto) vy znaete o Rossi” (“What do you know about Russia?”) and I suddenly “get” that I am Henry Spencer from “Eraserhead” so I answer by saying “Oh, I don’t know much of anything” which he responds with “Chto delat?” (“What is to be done?”)

The stocky president-like character and I are having another conversation later on. I ask if he is familiar with Russia and if Russia is bigger (making motions with my hands moving out to indicate being of a larger size). Oddly, this seems after the previous scene of the potential of becoming an interpreter (Russian) for this character or is just asynchronous as many dreams are, relative to some sort of “rotational practice” before a later “version” of the same dream (anyway, relating to the alternate Earth of which is thus far very much like “my” Earth historically). At any rate, I ask him about past conflicts and everything is going normally in historical discussion. However, when I mention “Europe”, he looks at me oddly and decides that I am making a clever joke when I talk about the war. He says that that is why he likes me, because I am amusing and have a good sense of humor. I have no idea what he means. I determine that either Europe does not exist on this alternate Earth, that “Europe” means something else in this alternate form of English, I am somehow actually in Western Europe without having known it to this point, or that particular conflicts never occurred (with a strong emphasis on this last idea relative to the smile he has, seeming to indicate Western Europe is the main force of diplomatic relations through all of history in this alternate world).

A later scene involves this alternate Earth being in trouble because of my presence and causing alterations in electromagnetic fields and gravity itself. I see all these changes on a large monitor, along with smaller monitors, similar to a train station - setup via satellite feed. The bottom of the Earth is warping and becoming black at times - there are silver grid lines related to latitude and longitude which also darken and twist even though they are otherwise “imaginary lines”. The alternate Earth, in its twisting, actually seems fluid at times as it almost seems to twist and warp downwards in implied spiral patterns - or maybe it is only the monitor’s satellite feed distortion showing this effect. As I stand there, I can feel the Earth stop and start again. Darkness falls, but then it is daylight again. People are concerned, but we do not seem to be in immediate danger even though the bottom of the planet looks completely destroyed - but it just “warps back” with no significant casualties yet.

A supposed “solution” is to send me away as soon as possible back to my own dimension/universe via a rocket or some such (actually - an alien spacecraft that had landed or crashed years prior to my arrival). However, I am fully aware that the plan is not feasible but follow the president-like figure anyway (who reminds me more and more of Hoyt Axton as he looked in the last days of his life). We go to a far more futuristic building, with a series of automatic doors (reminding me a bit of the opening of the “Get Smart” TV series, but more realistic and silver-oriented, with “smoother technology”). We come to the end of a hall where an alien had been kept for many years. The alien prisoner is like a cross between human and squid, about five feet tall. I wave at him and for the first time in captivity, he seems to relax and waves back with his “fingers” which are small tentacles. He says “Fahkwa”, “Farkwa” or “Farqua” - which seems to indicate his name, his present health status, or perhaps where he is from. This is the one time before in the alternate Earth’s history that a “visitor from elsewhere” other than me was present. However, the creature is not from “my” universe. The other people are glad that I have established communication with him even though he had been kept prisoner all that time. Maybe now, they will work to get him home as well.

Eventually, I understand that the way to save this alternate universe (and stabilize it) is to simply wake up - and so I do.

This dream, as well as seemingly being a very long “life review” type (yet with no precise theme or meaning), also seemed to be a large and near-perfect integrated combination of a number of movies, including: “The Stranger” (1973 TV pilot), “The Philadelphia Experiment” (1984), “Prince of Darkness” (1987), “The Lake” (1998 TV), “The Astronaut’s Wife” (1999), “Another Earth” (2011), and “Area 51” (2013).

It also brings to mind (on a much lower scale) “Melancholia”, although far more like “When Worlds Collide” (1951) than the twin planet/twin dimension themes.

Morning of September 1, 2013. Sunday.



My family and I go out for a walk, partly to take a look at a supposed “mystery” home relating to a special house of some kind - maybe even a place we will actually live or own. It actually turns out to be on King Street in La Crosse (even though my family here has never been to America) the third (fictional) house from my corner. My actual apartment house is on the corner but that is not the main focus, and every other house and structure is completely different from real life along the entire street (both sides).

East of is a cul-de-sac that is like some sort of open squarish U-shaped kitchen or storage area, the “ends” pointing west. Near the last part of my dream we walk around through it from north to south and I note that I had moved a refrigerator earlier and maybe blocked part of the path on the northwest where people go in from, but no drama ensues even though I notice others (one, an alcoholic) just coming into that side. (The alcoholic is someone I sort of knew in real life on the job years ago but who was not a close friend.)

Earlier in my dream, there is a rather unusual mood. I am not sure about the dynamics of the house or what makes it mysterious. It is some sort of mystery like no other mystery, even in a personal sense. I have had numerous dreams throughout life of odd houses here and there, where piles of old wood take up much of the inside (especially in seemingly very old, long-abandoned two-storey houses whereby someone still seems to live there at times), or with other unusual aspects. This almost seems to be one of those types of dreams, but the house of mystery turns out to be more like a modern low-set brick or concrete home, rather small, reminding me vaguely of my home in Cubitis. We notice piles of rubbish everywhere, in smaller bags, even near the family’s car. It seems perhaps they are moving.

I notice that the license plate on the rear of the car (1970s cream-colored station wagon with simulated wooden panels on the side - a brother-in-law owned one similar to this, but not the same) reads “COCINA 53”, which means kitchen (Spanish) and may relate to my age in a few months. About twenty-five percent of the car is out from the low, attached garage (on the eastern side of the home), facing to the south.

Later, my mother (who died October 2, 2002 at age 86) is with us. We are looking into a large dumpster on the southern part of the street for potential “treasures” as “scavengers”, maybe to find something to sell. The entire bottom of the dumpster (aside from a few randomly-sized empty cardboard boxes) is filled with still unopened and unused plastic packages of a series of recipe booklets, arranged in newer-looking cardboard boxes (as if never distributed from the company), that sell for about ten to twenty dollars or so per week via one of those real-life subscription services - which end up costing thousands of dollars for a recipe book’s worth of material (the same being true of those animal fact sheets and such which also end up costing thousands of dollars by the time the collection is complete - or about $3,600.00 for a three-year collection/subscription, and parts often go missing or there is duplication or printing problems).

I had discovered I had been carrying a bag full of recipes and was going to give them to my mother, but she said she was not interested in any of the set, as there might be printing errors and missing sleeves or booklets or such, so I throw the bag in with the rest. It may be that most of the booklets are all identical or just from one or two weeks of publication. We then move on to the cul-de-sac event mentioned earlier.

Relative to the unusual fictional setting, see also the following dreams:

Hall Kitchens?

Submarine

UPDATE: This turned out to have the usual visually precognitive elements (regarding a movie we saw later - by chance), but nothing important in my opinion. It mostly related to the parked car of a make I haven’t seen very often.

9/1/2013, 10:00-9:00

I got up once at like 4:25, and stayed up for 5 minutes. Then went to sleep for the rest of the night. Once again, no dreams remembered before I got up. I also used the mantra, "I remember dreams when I wake up." I got 1 dream and a fragment:

Dream 1:

I was at Downing school (the place I've been working for the last couple of weeks in real life). Me, I, J, and Jo were going out the back way to the right of the building. We past the "courtyard" in front of the field. We probably turned left at the next intersection. We kept going down that way until we found a courtyard next to a pretty big street. The courtyard looked nice, with grayish bricks laid on the ground. It had a light post around it, and it kind of looked like it belonged in Florence (it probably doesn't exist in real life, either).When we got there, I and J left. Then it was just me and Jo. I asked for her number, and she said she was too poor to hang out with me . Then, N showed up and Jo eventually left. The dream ends there.

Dream 2:

Something about electricity and lightning.

I also had a few dreams and fragments that I forgot before I could do this, and these are the two that I remembered in the end. I slept upstate today.

A sparse couple of nights, with only 3 captured dreams between them. But I reached a conclusion re SSILD…for me, it’s a great relaxant…a WBTB and the cycles seem to guarantee me 4+ hours of deep, dreamless sleep.

Friday night’s dream. 4.15 AM
I do all the talking basically. Talking AT a doctor and observing the amount of work she had to get through, to achieve her position. She was basically non-committal (as DC’s are?). This might have related to a BBC news item I read involving the Syrian doctor who challenged Britain’s Labour leader to come to Syria …except I read that AFTER the dream (surely dreams aren’t predictive?)

Sat 1.20 AM
Ed’s turned into Cubby Broccoli (which is good, because I read that broccoli is also good brain-food, so he’s doing something right for once) This was a cut-down James Bond production I think. I’m sure there was action at the front-end (although, knowing Ed, that might have just involved a heated argument in a bus queue)

But there was a love scene with a genuine Bond-type girl (although I prefer the fuller figure myself) I say a love scene…more a foreplay scene (as a man, I thought there was far too much of that). It involved mainly snogging, with a slightly hurried bit of lip-caressing of her lower body, then, just as it might have got more interesting, I woke up…coitus interruptus,,,

You know what I’m going to say…would I have done that? External forces again

7.00 AM
Dog on a carpet. No…not another love scene, with one of Ed’s usual female DCs. A genuine small dog (haven’t got one myself) It seemed to have its claws trapped in the carpet and it was clearly in distress. Although I feared getting bitten, I went to its assistance and it held me in a weird sort of embrace, with it’s claws and little body pressed tight against me. Ed!..........??????

Re the sparse dreams. Serves me right for getting lured into experimenting with SSLD at this stage. I’d earlier decided to concentrate on the dream journal, ADA (which I’m doing fairly well at the moment) and maybe WILD in the afternoon. (no Ed that’s not another film title)

The beetroot extract should last me a total of 45 days…that’s surely enough time to see if they work at all. I read somewhere that fruit juices are not as effective as whole fruit (something is believed to be lost in the processing, so we'll see if the same applies to concentrated tablets)
