    1. Zombie attack

      by , 06-02-2013 at 05:06 PM
      I'm standing in my driveway, and my dad is sitting in the front seat of his van. I hear over loudspeakers that the world has been overrun by zombies. I'm told that so long as I don't leave the block I will be safe. One of my dream friends have been zombified, and my dad wants to drive into zombie territory to retrieve her. At first I think this is a terrible idea and want to stay home, but then I decided I should help. I start to get into my own car and realize I've left my sword in my dad's car, so I get my dad's car and ride with him. He ride out into zombie territory, some of the zombies are completely feral, others are human and are nonthreatening, but most of them still speak and act like a human, but attack like a zombie. We slow down for a moment to wait for my zombified friend to arrive. Another zombie comes up to an open window and tells me " you know that's really a terrible position for you to be in, your sword isn't of any use on the inside of the vehicle, you should come out here." and gives me a sly grin. A bunch of zombies start attacking the car, I open the sliding side door and start slashing randomly. My sword is an iaito (unsharpened) so the blade won't do any damage, only the point is sharp, so my cuts only make scratches on the zombies. My zombified friend arrives and before I realized who she is I slash a vertical cut over her left eye. She seems not to notice and says " hi Aaron." She gets in the van and we start driving home. A zombie appears just outside my window and my friend tells me to stab at it through the glass, I'm skeptical but decide to make the thrust anyway. Just before the point of the sword reaches the class my alarm wakes me up.
    2. Sumys's workbook

      by , 06-02-2013 at 04:22 PM
      My first Lucid dream:

      It was in the January or early Febuary 2013 during an afternoon nap. I was lying in my bed in my usuall sleeping position (on the stomach)......
      ......I am on the small gravel path between small forest called "Smrcina" (I visit this forest since my childhood and it has a strong emotional feel for me) and the rubber factory Saargumming where I am working (glady not anymore now:-)). I hate that factory, as a symbol of oppression, capitalism.
      I am going down the forest path towards the factory, but turn left to the empty building abandoned old iron foundry. So far everything in my dream is almost identical to the real world environment.
      As I enter the building I am in the room with many 2 floored-beds. It looks like a room in some montain cottage.
      I lie in the bed in my usuall sleeping position on the stomach. I am falling asleep and try to seperate myself from my body That day I also read about astral projection. It isnt easy and I feel strong resistance against separation. But I am able to pick up the upper half of my body. Finally I am able to stand up and look around. The part of separation is still mystery for me. It felt so real that I thought I was awake, but more like I was dreaming all the time and was right on the edge sleeping/awake state. My sight is blury and hazy but everything is so real. Now I am realize that I am dreaming. Wow. I am so excited and happy. A look at my hands. They are blury. I thouch the wall. It feels 100 procent like a real wall, but I am not able to put my hand throught it. I go to the next small room and there is a woman sitting on the desk. I go to her and have a sex with her. Suddenly I want the girl name Betka instead of her. And in a second I am having a sex with Betka. It feels like a real sex. Wow. But after a minute the dream suddenly disappear and I wake up. I remember everything clearly even without writing it anywhere.
      When I was 18 years old I had a girlfriend and my best friend Tomas cheated me with her. His girlfriend at that time was Betka. I remember I found her attractive but I havent seen her since that time. Maybe a time for a revenge ? :-) BTW: I have sometimes Thomas in my school related dreams. But I am not angry at him. We are still friends at my dreams

    3. Holy Fools and Horses in The Bloody Artifact Tragedy

      by , 06-02-2013 at 04:10 PM (Welcome to my dreams!)
      Interesting dream lol.

      1. [non-lucid]
      Me and another person enter a warehouse with shelves of ancient artifacts (kind of like the one in Indiana Jones but cleaner), we were looking for something. We bumped into Rodney and Delboy, one thing leads to another and we end up in a shopping trolley and office chair faceoff (we had the office chairs), not sure what happend to Rodney but off in the distance I saw him litterelly explode into a puddle of blood, it went everywhere, next thing we are charging at eachother and we collide (Delboy had a very stressed expression on his face). Everything after that I can't remember.

      2. [non-lucid]
      I know I had another dream, but I dont remember it.

    4. First Night of Attempted LDing

      by , 06-02-2013 at 04:01 PM
      I've decided to stick with one bedtime routine and combination of techniques for the entirety of June. Last night was night one.

      I ended up going to bed an hour later than I outlined in my routine. Less than an hour after that, I woke up from one of those dreams I've been having all the time lately, where I'm trying to yell at someone and my voice just isn't coming out. This time it was my sister, which is a first.

      After that, I lay awake for hours. It didn't help that I had to go to the bathroom every ten minutes.

      Throughout the night, however, I remained aware of a lot of auditory and visual HHs. Many more than is normal for me.

      I also remember that some point I was having a dream or detailed HH, and I thought about doing an RC, but I was afraid it wouldn't work. Something along those lines, anyway.

      So it seems that, at the very least, my will to become lucid has been imprinted on my subconscious; I think that as long as I am disciplined with my routine, this is going to be a very interesting month indeed. And, hopefully, as the excitement fades just a little I'll actually be able to sleep.

    5. The World Is Yours

      by , 06-02-2013 at 01:09 PM
      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #100: The World Is Yours

      I'm flying high in the sky around what looks to be a computer-generated globe that's populated with little dots. I feel like I'm on a plane with Wife but I don't see a plane. It's just me and my floating perspective as we circle slowly and gracefully around this globe.

      I tell Wife, "This is a music video for a Phil Collins' song called 'Julia' from 1980."
      (Not true.) The song immediately starts playing. In it, Collins sings of how this globe is "not CGI" and that the dots represent people around the world. He sings that the dot he remembers best ("the one I best recall") was one of him over the ocean, flying on a plane to be reunited with his beloved Julia.

      As the song ends, I suddenly find myself falling downward out of the sky. I hope that this is a dream, I think, and
      of course it is.

      I immediately halt my fall and find myself hovering over a huge, vivid cityscape -- highways, skyscrapers, cranes, bridges, traffic jams, all arrayed for me down below. I want to fly around and explore this city, but when I attempt to fly, I'm unable to move. For some reason, I feel totally confident that I'll come unstuck. Stop asking, I think.

      I ignore what the dream is telling me and I imagine that I'm already flying Iron Man-style around the city. A second later, I'm flying effortlessly, cruising anywhere I like. I get briefly stuck a time or two, but I just ignore it, imagine that I'm succeeding, and immediately start flying again. Eventually, the little glitches stop.

      I see a tower that I remember from waking life -- it's one that I pass during my commute. I fly up to the top and circle around it. I glide low over roadways and high above a cluster of skyscrapers, then descend back to one of the bridges that spans a piece of some unfamiliar bay.

      My confidence is soaring, and I decide try some large-scale dream control. I put my hands out in front of me and then bring them apart like I'm performing the breaststroke. As I do, I rake cars off of the bridge in either direction and dozens of them go plummeting toward the water. I bring my hands back together and I watch as time rewinds and they return to the bridge, unharmed. I fly back toward the skyscrapers, select a pair of them, and then begin moving them up and down, one for my left hand and one for my right.

      I look to my left and see an enormous fire ogre (a la "Orcs Must Die") stomping toward me down one of the city streets. He towers over most of the nearby buildings, at least 100 feet tall. I wonder whether maybe I'll be fighting him later. I feel no fear at all. I reflect for a moment about what it would be like to have this much control and confidence in every LD. Nothing could stop me. What sort of things would I do if I had years of this kind of power?

      Leaving the fire ogre behind for now, I fly over my city for a while and just let my dreaming brain show me what it can do. I look out at the waters of the nearby bay and think about using all of this overflowing confidence for some Task of the Month parasailing, but
      the dream soon ends.
    6. 6-2-13

      by , 06-02-2013 at 12:48 PM
      Last night was a very intense dream. I forgot to mention the dream that I had on the last day of May, it was of my great-aunt who just got out of the hospital for a heart attack, asking me things. It was like she was tying up loose ends. The second dream that night was of a man I know who I liked a lot for a while, and he's about to graduate college. We hung out, talked, and he gave me a letter saying when he graduates he's going to live by the ocean, and that I can visit him. When I read it, it was being read in his voice, I couldn't actually read the words. He was very sweet, his voice is so gentle and beautiful. We talk sometimes, but I haven't been talking to him lately. I think I'll tell him hello today.

      My dream last night was about my great-aunt, and that I was getting updates through my email about her, and I got one at 2-something AM that said she had passed away. I told my family, and wasn't hysterical or anything, and I just felt at peace about all of it, knowing she's alright now. I figure this either happened last night or I'm preparing myself for when it does. (edit: she's okay, we talked to her today)

      The most intense part of the dream, was when I was in my current house in my bedroom. Something kept trying to get in, and I kept saying Christian prayers to keep it out. It would get the door open slightly, and it was a miasma of dark blue/purple and it gave off intensely bad energy. I'm not Christian, and don't believe any of it, but I felt that I had somehow attracted it because of my beliefs. I think it could do this, make you question yourself, throw off terrible energy, trying to find your weaknesses, mess with your mind. I had people there helping me, I think they were friends of mine... and it eventually went away. But we could see it through this small screen near the end, and it was like a blue screen with lots of picture noise. It was a bald person with a face you wouldn't really remember, and it kept trying to turn into people I knew. it was very strange. But something was off with every person it tried to appear as, so we knew it was just messing with our emotions. (edit: I didn't have time to add this earlier, but I've had other dreams of bald people chasing me and trying to harm me, also people you wouldn't really remember their face, just nondescript guys. They're always slender, Caucasian adult men, usually in a black dress suit. I can remember three dreams of them: One, I was outside at night at my old house, and he was chasing me, about to stab me. I got inside in time & he couldn't enter, they never can but they try. Another time, a few of them were trying to force themselves inside the front door, and my friend T, who I'm not close to at all, was helping me press our bodies against the door to keep them out. The third time I was exploring some strange underground basement, and they were EVERYWHERE, almost guarding the place. One saw me, and he sure was fast. This one had on black sunglasses. I got away like I always do...)

      Eventually, the sun rose, and so I went outside and met up with some friends of mine I haven't seen in a while. It was nice, we were lying on the pavement and hanging out outside my old elementary school. I wanted to go into the back hallways and get something from the snack machines, but it was scary and dark, and felt wrong. Nobody would come with me for some reason, so I forgot about it, my friend was about to go downtown to do some clerical work (?) and invited me to go, so we started to head that way and then I woke up.

    7. Walking the Path

      by , 06-02-2013 at 12:24 PM
      Although this wasn't the right location, I did at least successfully find/conjure/whatever NewArtemis. Forgot all about swapping gestures and keywords, but it's all good... dry spell broken!

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #99: Walking the Path

      I'm walking a beautiful nature trail. I sense that this is a place of peace and sanctuary outside of a hospital. I remind myself that I need to be sure that I'm not dreaming and I quickly realize that this is a dream.

      I hear two female voices from the trail up ahead and somehow I know that this is NewArtemis and her cousin.
      (No clue whether she even has a cousin IWL.) Art's cousin appears first, with Art trailing maybe 15 feet behind. "Come on!" calls Cousin. "You were right! It worked!"

      Cousin walks right past me, saying, "Hey! I'm [NewArtemis]'s cousin. She was so nervous this wouldn't work. She's been spinning her ring nonstop. That's what she does when she's nervous." With that, Cousin disappears from the scene, never to return.

      "Hey, [NewArtemis]!" I say, giving her a hug. "Good to finally see you!"
      ("Finally see you" is a little weird since I've encountered Art's DC a bunch of times -- was I implying this was "the real her" for the first time? Or just flapping my gums?)

      "Did you just break your dry spell, CL?"

      "I did!" We continue walking in the direction Art and Cousin were going, which has me doubling back toward wherever I came from. "Dude, I'm trying so hard to remember what I was supposed to do when we met up. I remember parasailing but I don't think that's right."

      She rubs her forehead or kind of scratches her head. "I don't remember anything either. Definitely not that we're supposed to go parasailing."
      (Art called this one right -- the parasailing thing was Task of the Month, not anything we'd talked about.)

      I hear road noise from nearby and I make some kind of comment about wondering where it's coming from. The scene shifts to where we're walking through the corridor of a hospital. I remember something I wanted to ask. "Hey, is it true what your cousin said? That you spin your ring when you're nervous?"

      She shakes her head. "No, that's total bullshit. My ring is kind of loose in the winter though." On the nature trail it felt like spring to me, and I'm able to remember that IWL it's summer.

      Art holds up her hands to demonstrate and I see that she's wearing rings on four or five of her fingers. Then she kind of wiggles her hands and now she has even more rings, including a thumb ring. She does this ring reconfiguration trick a few more times and I think it looks super cool. I wonder whether she's got the right number of fingers but she's moving around too much for me to count.

      We come to a T-junction where another hall comes from the left to meet the one that we're walking. I see my two boys E and R running off down the hall to make mischief. Art asks why we wound up here of all places rather than the Alamo. I say that I don't know.
      The dream ends.

    8. 2nd June 2013 Chandelier, False Awakening chain and glitches

      by , 06-02-2013 at 11:46 AM (Scionox's Journal of Dreams)
      Dream recall from today's naps. Today is the false awakening day, and also glitch day.

      Dream 1(fragment):

      I was playing some video game and there was location in forest.

      Dream 2(fragment):

      I was in some dark city place.

      Dream 3(fragments):

      I was at different room at home, i was doing some things and then went to sleep. Family was distracting me and i couldn't fall asleep, everyone was moving furniture around and bed was becoming smaller and smaller. Then i went to different room and was doing some other stuff. Then back in bedroom furniture placement was again messed up. I finally went to bed and for some reason i was hoping to meet Chandelier again. And so it happened, there was loud noise for a few seconds, then it repeated again, and again this time with image getting through, and again and then it was here. I was surprised that it worked but then...
      I wake up in another room, my
      hands are weird so i am dreaming, but before i can get up, my vision freezes and desyncs from everything else i feel, i am confused.
      Wake up again, the lights are on, but aren't on, like some kind of lighting glitch? I get up and...
      Then there are like four more short false awakenings with similar glitches, variations and furniture changes, after
      that i wake up properly.
    9. WILD attempt

      by , 06-02-2013 at 11:41 AM
      To cut a long story short I have been trying WILDs lately. I can see it will be useful to learn and that I have an idea of how to do it, as I would like to get more routine LDs and practice more.

      Today I did get quite far. I started with counting breaths to 300, then went into a mantra meditation known as John Main meditation. I got to a point where I was getting moving images. Didn't quite make it to sleep paralysis and then decided to go to sleep normally. I dreamt one of my sisters gave me a surprise visit in my flat. After waking up I was thinking about asking her by text if it really happened or was it a figment of my imagination, then I lay down on my other side. I could hear a ringing in my ears and let it get stronger - it sounded like motorbike humming. Next thing I had some moving imagery of a motorbike and it going out of control. Next thing I was in a dream, but didn't realise it (my penis was in front of me, but in 2D and flat). Had I realised it would have been actually a DILD, induced because of the WILD process. Early days, but I can see this progressing with practice.

    10. Military Documentation: Shoppers Guide -> aquisitions plan (I don't have the cojones.)

      by , 06-02-2013 at 11:12 AM
      In this dream I was part of a huge project creating documentation for the military. My two bosses was the same as in real life, but I had many coworkers whom I had never met before. There were a number of coworkers on this project who were graduate students from a reasearch university, and even in the dream they were new coworkers to me. What was interesting was that in this dream I was significantly younger than in real life - in fact I was younger than these graduate students, and pretty shy around them, trying to impress. However, I was still a major player in the project, often acting as my boss's representative, which was inconsistent with my dream age, more consistent with my actual level of seniority where I will informally at times act that way with my boss's blessing on less important conference calls and such.

      So we were building huge amounts of documentation for the military. (This reminds me of my recent other dreams of creating huge amounts of documents on a large ship. The military part of this dream is probably due to my having interpreted someone else's dream about military last evening before going to bed.) I remember this dream as being long, but now I only remember some significant parts. In one of them we are having an informal meeting in what looked like a dorm room: the graduate students, my Italian American boss who is the less influential of my two bosses - more of a project manager) and myself, and one of the graduate students was saying, "we have all this documentation planned, but what about the shopper's guide? We usually do a shoppers guide for this type of project." Me: "I cannot say. You should really ask our government lead, he is the boss, and he is paying you for this project, so you should ask him whether to do this document." Grad student (this one seemed to be like a leader of the bunch, and in a previous scene he and I had been thrown together, and I was now a bit less shy around him - he was cute.): "Yes, but what do you think? Would you like us to make a shoppers guide? Would you think it useful?" Me: "I think a shoppers guide could be useful. However, I don't make the decisions and I am not the one who pays you, so my opinion is not what you should be seeking." My Italian American boss/team lead: "What she is saying is that she does not have the cojones."

      In a later scene I realized that a document that my government lead asked me to prepare was actually a version of the shoppers guide. So I went to tell the grad students, and I also said "When dealing with the military, proper terminology is important. This is not the shoppers guide. This is called the acquisitions plan."

      I also remember some scene that seemed to be part of the same dream where I was out in a parking lot. It was raining, and I had to retrieve something from a locker in the parking lot.

      I have the sense that there was much more to this dream. I think the scene with my government lead telling me to work on the acquisitions plan was an actual dream scene, not just a memory, for example. Also the scene of being thrown together in some task with the graduate student, which made me less shy around him. I also remember walking down a hallway side by side with the grad student.

      Analysis: I think I am dreaming dreams of creating huge amounts of documentation because I am having a sense of not being creative enough in my work and just creating documents but not actually creating something. I am thinking as a solution I should start making bread or crocheting at home again to get an outlet which produces more tangible non written results.

    11. 06/01/13 Templars in the Shadows

      by , 06-02-2013 at 09:29 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      06/01/13

      Templars in the Shadows
      I am in a strange place. I look around to see where I am. I don't recognize the place. I leave the small room I find myself in to find I am in a large gathering hall. There are quite a few people there. All of them are Assassins. I see a reflection and I realize I am also dressed as an Assassin, so I fit right in. I wonder why I might be there. I start to wander among the Assassins to see if I can find out. I finally spot a familiar face. Ezio is off to my right talking to an Assassin I don't recognize.

      I keep looking around and I spot an Assassin that looks off somehow. I get closer to him and I see he seems to be surrounded by an aura of dark energy. That's not normal for an Assassin. I get closer to the strange Assassin. I catch a glimpse of his eyes. They are solid black. That is definitely wrong. He pays no attention to me. He seems to be focused on Ezio. He moves silently up behind Ezio. No one seems to be taking notice of him. Apparently no one else can see the dark energy. He is standing right behind Ezio now. He is about to stab Ezio with his hidden blade but I get him first. The dark energy Assassin collapses, dead. Someone calls to Ezio to look out and someone grabs me from behind. Apparently they think I'm the attacker here... Ezio turns around and looks at me. The other Assassins are telling Ezio I was trying to kill him. Ezio just looks puzzled. He says no, that's Raven, there must be some other explanation. One of the other Assassins points at the dead Assassin and says I just killed him. As if on cue, the dead Assassin changes into smoke and disappears. Assassins are all staring. I hear people muttering, asking what that was. Ezio wants to know what that was. I tell him it was a shadow Templar in disguise. He had been about to stab Ezio in the back. Ezio says that doesn't make sense, either. Ezio says he just recruited that guy, and when he checked him out he was definitely not a Templar. I wonder if maybe the dark energy can somehow fool Ezio's eagle vision. Since he's not used to seeing it. I wonder how to test that theory. I would have to find another disguised shadow Templar. But where would I find one? I look around the room. There are quite a few Assassins, but none of them look out of place. No sign of dark... wait... I spot someone in the corner with a dark energy aura. A female Assassin who is trying to blend with the rest of the group.

      I get closer to Ezio. A couple other Assassins don't seem to want me too close to Ezio, they block my way. Ezio comes over closer to me. I point over to where the shadow Templar is and ask Ezio if he sees anything out of place over there. The shadow Templar is with a group of four Assassins. Ezio looks over there and says he only sees a group of five Assassins. Another Assassin tells Ezio not to trust me, what happened to the dead Assassin is just proof of my evil tricks. Ezio doesn't pay any attention to him. He asks me what he should be looking for. I tell him dark energy, one of them is a shadow Templar in disguise. And it's a good disguise. Ezio looks over there for a bit longer. An Assassin pulls me away from Ezio and tells him that the traitor is right here, I am clearly the Templar here. Ezio says no, he is sure I'm no Templar. The other Assassin starts to object again but it is clear Ezio isn't paying any attention to him. Ezio just looks at him until he lets go of my arm and backs off looking frustrated. Ezio turns his attention back to the group of Assassins I pointed out. The question is how to get Ezio to see dark energy. I am focused on that goal when I think of the song Unforgiven II by Metallica. I take this key and I bury it in you... the key to seeing dark energy. Ezio finally says he does see something. The woman, second from the right, has a dark aura... but why didn't he see that sooner? I tell him it can take time to see dark energy when you're not used to it. He starts to go over to the shadow Templar. I tell him to wait, now that he sees them he needs the energy that can destroy them. In a pocket of my robes I find a Witchblade with a light energy crystal which I give to Ezio. He puts it on and then goes over to the small group of five Assassins and I follow him. He directly addresses the shadow Templar. The shadow Templar tries to act casually but looks a bit worried. She points at me and says she can't believe someone she thought was an Assassin had turned traitor like that. Ezio says I am no traitor... and he can see what she is. She backs away a step but then laughs. She gives up all pretense of being an Assassin. She says there is no way the Assassins can win with the power she and the Templars have now. She tries to attack Ezio but he is too fast and stabs her with his hidden blade. She laughs and says she can't be killed. Then the gem in the Witchblade activates and charges the blade with light energy. The shadow Templar stops laughing and says that is impossible just before she collapses and disappears in a puff of smoke. Ezio looks over at me and asks if I see any more. I look around and I don't. I tell Ezio that, and add that now that he has seen one he should be able to see them a lot more easily. He asks where these Templars are coming from. I tell him I can answer his questions but not now, I am about to wake up. He looks at me strangely then I wake.
    12. Frustrating

      by , 06-02-2013 at 09:28 AM
      It sure is frustrating when you wake up and know you had a very involved dream with lots of action but then it slips away and you can only recall a fragment. I try desperately to hold onto the memory when I wake but it still slips away.

      Last night I dreamt that I was helping our lecturer grade papers from a test we had written (that I had written myself). That was odd. Had a had a bit more awareness maybe I would have realised that was odd.

      by , 06-02-2013 at 08:43 AM (LucasPotter's DJ)
      I was in a library with my cousin and a guy from the building where I used to live. We all kinda grew up together, although I kinda of drifted apart when I was about 13 or 14 (I'm 22 now and I've known the people in the building since I was around 8) while my cousin remained really close friends with all of them.

      Anyway, I remember trying to look at the guy, but I couldn't see him clearly because I was not wearing my glasses. It looked like he was pointing something at me, so I jumped to the floor... right before he fired a gun at me. My cousin (who's really tall and pretty strong - the guy is also tall, but not strong - I'm a hobbit) tackled the guy, got up and he had this kind of stake on his hand, but it was bigger than a stake. Anyway, he hit the guy with it and then he sunk the stake on the floor, but also the guy's t-shirt, so that'd be stuck there.

      I told my cousin that it'd have been better to have stabbed the dude than his t-shirt, but my cousin looked super sad about having to beat the guy. Then, he told me that the guy was on drugs and that he even had put cocaine on his eyes. I told him he'd get blind because of that, my cousin got even sadder, so I told him that I didn't mean that.

      The guy was still moving, so we decided to run. There were many stairs and I always jump down stairs in my dreams... so that's what I did. When I got to the last floor, it was a lobby and there was a bit of a line to get out through the revolving door. I saw a character from One Tree Hill sitting on the floor (I had a OTH marathon very recently), so I joined him. We were friends in my dream, so we left the building together.

      He took me to this dining place, it was really cheap, but I think there was tasty food. I remember being happy with what we got. Then, we went to the mall and there were two more people with us. As we were walking, I made a wrong turn and ended up at a blank wall where I thought there was a corridor. I thought "oh, I always do this at this mall, damn!" I often have dreams where I'm at a mall, so maybe I'd been there before? I don't remember, but it's possible.

      The four of us were walking around, having fun and laughing, then suddenly, the mall changed. It was still the same mall, but the stores had changed places and the corridors had also moved. I looked back to my friends and there was only one person there, he seemed confused too.

      I looked around, looked back at him and said "This is a dream. But there's something wrong with it. Something is corrupting the dream." This friend of mine (I don't know him in real life and, from what I can remember of his face, which is very little, I think that he looked like me) was still freaking out, he wanted to know what was going on. He believed me that it was a dream, but he wanted to know why it had changed so abruptly.

      Then, this other person showed up, I think it was a girl, but can't be sure... and I also think that she looked like me. She pointed at this wall where there was a curtain, she opened the curtain and there was a huge tv screen on the wall. I couldn't see clearly what was there, but it was paused and the screen was blue. There was stuff written there, but I couldn't read it, I was too far from it. Anyway, this girl said "There. You have to watch this. The dream changed because he wanted to give you this message." and then I woke up.

      It was VERY creepy and I woke up with my heart beating super fast.

    14. Explosive Chemical Equation/Zoo Animal Water Slide.

      by , 06-02-2013 at 08:39 AM
      I was at my mum's house.

      Mum, sister, grandparents and aunt were there.

      It was night.

      I was burning things in my room.

      For some reason, there was a giant chemical equation in my room, and it was actually a physical thing.

      I brought it downstairs and showed every one but they said that I shouldn't burn it because it would cause
      an explosion or something.

      I then took it outside to the garden and went back inside.
      A while after that I heard an explosion and it turned out that one of the letters (that were in circles) had exploded.

      I then walked into a town near the village I live in, but instead, it had a LOT more shops, and the hill where the shops
      are were steeper.
      I walked to the bottom of the street and found there were loads of theme park rides and water slides etc.
      I didn't go on them yet and instead walked up the street.
      I walked down again, and heard someone say that you should buy something from the music shop because he's running out
      of money or having a child or something, and outside was a girl from my school (although I'm not in school anymore),
      which I immediately knew was the daughter of the music shop owner.

      I then decided to go on the rides, although, one of them had shut down and there was a pile of rubble in the entrance
      blocking anyone from getting through, there was also police tape in front of it, but instead, it was yellow.

      I then went (I think) on a water slide. The slide was huge, and REALLY tall. At the end of the slide, the nice
      50-ish year old coronation street type woman told me that I would want to buy protection, and bat, or a stick, or something
      at the stall/market/shop at the end of the slide, but that was pointless because you couldn't reach it till' you had
      finished the ride. I then saw a girl and her father beside me on the slide, the dad was carrying a black baseball bat
      looking foam thing. As we got closer to the bottom, I could see big pictures of a hippo, a crocodile and giraffe, each
      picture had people in foam coloured suits trying to stop us reaching the bottom, in between the slop of the slide
      and the flat bit of the end was water, so I had jump over. After doing this, the dad hit and made the people in the middle
      crocodile picture disappeared so they could run through. When I tried to run through, I got about 3/4 of the way through
      until the people in the hippo picture grabbed me and I flashed back to the entrances of the ride.

      Well, last night was a bit dissappointing. I had finally started into deep sleep around midnight I believe, when out of no where my dad
      came upstairs and flipped my lights on. I guess he was checking I wasn't doing any late night programming but come on! Anyways, it
      got me all out of rythm so last night I can't recall anything.

      However on a positive note, today I was watching some youtube and low and behold, an ad came up that was actually useful! It
      took me to a place that deals with binaural beats, and they have a product called EquiSynch. The beats that I use I simply ripped
      from youtube and di myself, but according to this Equisynch these ones have been professionally developed into individual sessions
      that you can use. I downloaded the free demo (which I plan on keeping btw) and if it goes well I will most likely end up purchasing the
      entire thing. I'm not sure yet what all the different sessions do, but I am very excited to get started with this demo.

      Also, I don't know if I had mentioned this, but I acquired a pair of Sleep Phones during the school year. They are really great and I use them every
      night. I am super pumped to try out Equisynch with my Sleep Phones! I'll keep updating on how it goes, and if it helps me get back in the swing of
      things.

      See ya
