It was a little after 8 o'clock this morning. I was laying in bed not wanting to get up. The sun was pouring through the window, illuminating the room, making it vary difficult to sleep. I was rolling restlessly in bed, pulling my blanket over myself to block the sun, and then throwing them off when I got hot. I settled, laying on my right side, arm under my pillow, starring at my bedroom door. My mind started to wander. I must have fallen asleep at this moment, although I can't remember when. I was laying in the same position as when I was awake, and the environment was the same. It was as if I hadn't even fallen asleep. I was doing the same thing as when I was awake, just thinking. I don't know how long I thought, or for that matter what of. But then I realized something, I was thinking about a person who I'd never met. Then something striking came to thought, 'Am I dreaming?' I reached up and plugged my nose, and to my surprise, the air rushed right on through. I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed. My room looked just as I had left it, and it all look real. My heart was beating hard and I had a knot in my stomach, I was really excited. It couldn't have been more then a few seconds before a rush of weariness came over me. I slowly fell back on to my pillow and my eye lids felt like they were being pulled down. I fought the pull and tried to force my eyes back open. It worked. With a gasp my eyes opened wide and I shot back up in my bed. Just this time it was for real.
12-2/?/12-13 1. I come to school and go inside. I go to the library in the morning, but it looks very different. Upon pulling a book from the shelf, I become transported to some sort of place. It is like I am floating in the sky. Text appears in the sunrise. It is like I am taking a test, and the clouds are my paper. I am asked a series of questions by a voice in the heavens. I look down, but I cannot see anything. Then, he speaks another time, and the text jumbles together and rewrites itself, spelling out: "YOU ARE DREAMING." Everything becomes shockingly vivid. Then, I proceed to the next question. The voice asks me something, and music begins to play. A little black button appears with an electronic base, floating in front of me, with the words "DEMISE" scribbled onto it. I press it. 2. I am in the living room late at night with my headphones on. I assume I fell asleep with it on. Then, I realize that the voice on the podcast is the same as the one from the dream. I become lucid. Then, a familiar woman enters my house. She tells me to go to sleep, but I know that I already am. "You aren't real! I'm dreaming," I say, but she just looks at me. Everything feels so real that I begin to believe that I've actually woken up. It is time to settle this. I do a reality check, but I get a false negative. My eyes are blurry- I try to pull my eyelids apart to clarify, but I cannot. This is a common dreamsign among my false awakenings. I close my eyes, and force them open, waking myself, even if just to prove it was just a dream.
Originally Posted by Lmrhone LOL! In the dream, it was normal for people to put babies in the oven if they were too pale. But for the whole dream I was wondering how I would put the baby in the oven without cooking it. Windy! I had a Z-Apocalypse dream last night too. But that was a minor part and it seemed far away from my part of the dream, like someone else was the main character but the dreams spilled over into each other. Was your dream anywhere near a forest, or a primary school? In this one dream one of my cousins was flirting with a girl from my church. But when they were done with that we walked out into the street (well beside the street) and I saw two deer climbing a tree (in the dream I was like "Since when do deer climb trees?!") Well the deer climbed the tree and when they were at the top they jumped. The tree was like 20 feet tall, roughly 6 meters for those outside of the U.S. and the way they landed was to tuck in there front legs and land sideways while kind of rolling. The first one landed safely and began walking away. But the second one jumped to far and when it tucked in it's legs it hit the road. Really hard, so it died. At least that's what I thought. Then my little brother ran over to it screaming and poked it, then it got up, it was all messed up and ran away. In my earlier dream I was standing on a dirt pile, like huge, kind of like a really small mountain. And I jumped, but I jumped REALLY far and landed on another dirt mound. Now here's the dream with the zombies. Well I was in the car with my mom and some of her friends. Then I had to get out. It was me and my brother. Then I went into the forest and I saw a rainbow. Then through most of my forest time I was killing Greek gods who told me things like "You would betray your friends for the prize too." Actually, the guy who said that was on a team with me and my brother. Well he ended up tricking my brother into running back into the forest after we walked out and this is what happened. He began to run after my brother to kill him. So I started chasing him. He picked up a big pipe so he could throw it at my brother, so I picked up a large branch to throw at him before he could hit my brother with the pipe. As he stopped to talk to my brother before he threw the pipe, I threw the branch at him. He fell to the ground and yelled. I ran up to him and apparently something else had fell on him too, a LOT bigger than my branch. So I picked up the branch, and began to twist it into his back (like a screw) until the hole was completely through his back, it took three times to do that before he died. Then me and my brother walked out of the forest confidently, knowing this was only the beginning. And as we crossed the street and were walking in someone else's front yard a blue SUV came rushing down the street, then as they rode by us they stomped on the brakes and the tires screeched as they sped back down the road and pulled up beside us. Since me and my brother went through a lot we were wary of getting in, even though the people in the truck were all very close family. I assumed that they were gods who changed form. But something made that change. Then a zombie came up from down the street and from that one zombie I felt that everything down the street was plagued by zombies. (This is only a fraction of the whole dream.) Did I have a synch with you? This isn't from this morning, it was from an earlier night. I'll highlight in blue where I think we synched. 4/28/13 1. Someone jumps off of a cliff. They witness a sailing accident. It was for sport, and they survived because of their intent. I used to do something similar in previous dreams; I should have become lucid. A team is dispatched to get the jumper. Everyone still agrees that it wasn't for suicide, but I am uncertain. We fly in a helecopter over hills and mountains and bays and trees. The scenery was also another oblivious dreamsign. We land on a mountain. A boy (I think so, I am still uncertain of the gender of the characters) suddenly sprints off the cliff. An odd aura comes over me, and I feel as if the dream is taking place in the air and the land at the same time. In the air, I fall off the helicopter in a sudden jolt, but I am still clung to my reality watching this man jump to what should have been his death. I cannot explain it with words. I feel as if I fell of the helicopter for the intention of retrieving the (alive) boy. He was intending to rescue the other character, who I think has melted into a woman. I get both of them in the water. I am under pressure, and my head rings. I begin to get claustrophobic at the waves crashing and pulling the water and me. I get him, but we have to walk back to the rest of the group. The character that jumped spontaneously has disappeared from the dream. The woman who jumped and witnessed the accident has been kidnapped, although I was not aware of it. I am in a warehouse, and I remember the image of guns and the woman. I cannot remember what culminated following this. I remember walking out of the area, and becoming lucid on the street. I tell myself to stop denying it. I said that the entire scenario gave off the unrecognizable scent of dream. I remember my intent to find Tibb, the dream guide, but I fall backwards and characters spin around the dream, and I fade. 2. I am in a resort. There is a lake's beach. There are many platforms from which to fall. Many people jump (with harnesses). I get some food, and the fog comes in. It is not sunny and sweaty but cool with much plant life all around. The beach slowly changes into a cliff, and the platforms disappear. My school seems to merge with the scenery, and my classmates begin to spawn. People still jump with harnesses, except they jump diagonally in order to traverse the landscape via sky. You can fall for miles horizontally and stop suddenly and fall vertically. I cannot explain it, but the dream populous seems to be stricter about falling than the previous dream. Before, people were jumping everywhere off of hills with no fear of death. I attempt to jump with my friends, but the guard holds me back. He says that I need to have gloves or mittens because the forest is "very cold while in the sky." In order to jump, I need to have mittens to prevent frostbite, but I cannot find any. I begin to ask people for a pair. I get a jacket, but "that is not a mitten." I eventually start to loot people's backpacks. I still cannot find mittens. Now, the dream scenery is both indoors and outdoors because of the school. I am not allowed to jump, and my friends leave without me. I am very disappointed. I think that I have one more period after this (hence the invasion of the school-motif), meaning I can try again. By now, the dreamscape has completely changed from the beach to the cliff, hills, and forest to finally my schoolyard. I begin to ask for mittens again. I am met with glaring looks, but I go to a pile of socks. An idea strikes my mind, and I attempt to use the socks as gloves for next time.

I recall thinking whether or not i should jump out this window and try to fly.... i took the risk and kinda.... glided . Could feel it that I was dreaming. It feels like..... a deep sigh of relaxation
I woke up in the middle of the night then went back to sleep [maybe false awakening.] So i'm going along in a lucid dream and what not. Then out of nowhere the dream stops. I'm back in my bed right were i was when i went to sleep. Exactly the same. Except everything was black and white. I was still conscious at the time, it felt like i was awake but i could tell i was asleep because i could not talk or move, like i could see through my eyelids. I think i might've been in sleep paralysis. There was this big black monster standing over me not moving at all just staring. It resembled the stature of a human only croched over. I tried to tell it to get away from me using my mind. I woke myself up before it could respond.
The dream started out by someone attacking me and I thought as I started to fly this is a dream! I flew over large beautiful landscapes until I ended at a beach and its the middle of the night. I captured the person chasing me and put them in the alien ball thing to send them off out into space. I sent the person off and watch the white alien like ball dissapear in the night sky. A random DC pointed to the sky and said look how beautiful it is! I looked up and there were fireworks this made me thinks of an old basic task of the month. This reminded me of the current TOTM! I looked around for a piece of coal and found one as soon as a thought about it. I picked up the piece of coal crushed it and picked out the diamond. I thought about how ophelia put her diamon in the light and decided to do the same. When I put the diamond in the light the tips of fingers also started to turn into diamond. I thought this is pretty cool and decided to keep the diamond with me in my pocket since it was so awesome.(I know being attached to a dream diamond is kinda lame.) In this dream I decided to befriend as many DCs as possible because usually I don't trust me. I feel they could turn on me at any moment just because I have that thought. So I shoke the DCs hand and asked what is your name sir? He said bill. Nice to meet you bill I said. I started to walk and ran into my friend roberto. He soon left to go fight someone. I really didn't do much at this point just walk around different dream scences until I woke up. I believe I went to a mall and a hotel.
Had a dream where loads of big cats were trying to get in my house like zombies would. Woke up and made myself go back to sleep to find out why they were attacking us. Eventually found out that it was because of a YouTube video I had watched which sent sound messages to big cats to attack. Heavy stuff this.
I guess i should be even more strict with the time i fall asleep at. I was playing some video game, and there was also something AI War related, but can't recall what exactly.
Nothing too special. Had a dream where there was a guy who looked like Dan from the cartoon "Dan Vs." but in real life. He even had the same voice as Curtis Armstrong. Anyway, this guy had to borrow money from the mob. But because he had to borrow money from the mob he performed as a clown to make the money back. However, other mobsters dressed up as clowns and always foiled his attempts to make money. The main mobster who did this was a very short man in a clown costume with a round belly. Finally, Dan considered skipping town but the mob found out and he ended up not doing it. On the day the money was due Dan brought a suitcase with some money in it to a school auditorium. He gave it to the leader, but it wasn't enough. He tied up Dan to a pole in a crucifix-like manner, and all the mobsters beat on him. Some with fist and some with blunt weapons. They broke his ribs, teeth, fingers, and had blood all over his head. then they force feed him McDonald's food (I dislike McD's and also am on a diet) so Dan was actually crying when they were stuffing food down his throat. There was fear of a heart attack and weight gain more than anything. Finally, he was in the doggy style position on a plywood table on the stage. The mobsters watched him as he was forced to stay in this uncomfortable position for several hours, the stage lights glowing on him. Finally, the leader told him to get off, and as he struggled to get down someone kicked him in the gut and he rolled over on the ground. The mobsters told him not to make the same mistake again, and they left him on the floor. A minute later, he got up and went home.
Charis my fiancée has been looking for jobs recently, which I assume spurred this dream on. I was speaking to a friend named Beadle in the dream, I think in what looked like a department store/food department in a college. He was in front of me, I was on his right and he was up against the wall with what seemed like a thin desk with his laptop on. He works at Bedell Cristin and I think I was asking him about job opportunities there and what it's like to work for them. For some reason, at the time I can remember him being on a laptop posting a comment or a status directed at Steve Chayni, a college tutor of ours (both left college now though) in response to a status he had posted 'dissing' Bedell. When typing out the comment or status, he tried to utilise the auto-predict however it failed and instead of writing Bedell, it stayed as "Beadle's" which still made no sense anyhow as how was that meant to translate to Bedell? This took place on either twitter or Facebook. Carrying on, I believe we were talking in a job manor about work for Charis. Walking over to a circular table, in the same room I believe, we were discussing education for her, particularly IT and culinary arts I think. At the table, I removed a knife from the cutlery holder in the centre and put it on the table (I can remember this being somehow linked to the fact that I wanted her to do cooking - she's a good cook in life so this is where this all ties in). However, after that, I think I remember removing the knife or putting it away, either believing the knifes presence, or me wanting her to do a cooking course would come across either as insulting or sexist. That's all I remember - had only slept about 2 - 3 hours (it was a nap from about 17:00 to 19:45, therefore got into REM sleep very quickly and I guess as a result of it being so early on in REM, the dream was both short and very vague (my vividness and re-call is something I'm working on currently anyway). Fragments in my head: Kayleigh I vaguely remember being referred to in the dream somewhere (friend of ours). Blaize too (friend of mine). Both in the context of jobs as they both have jobs and we don't think they deserve them. Times: 17:20 stated sleep. 19:45 woke up and re-called.

I was sitting at a table in Nicaragua on a mission trip with my church. we were all talking and socializing and having a good time. so a friend brought up the topic of lucid dreaming. I said "Yeah I can never tell when im dreaming in a dream. Ive been trying for years." Then my friend says (picking up his water bottle) "The way I can tell if im dreaming is when I throw the bottle away from me, it will come right back." So he throws it and it just acts normally as it would in RL.
nearly a dreamless night - luckily i barely pulled these back before getting up sleep 1230/1am wake 1030am Watching a language learning show for children. It used a little dog and some other animals. The longer it went on the more cartoony it was. I was trying to guess a color in one exercise. a different one was flashing through different images of rain and other weather. I was supposed to pick one that was a certain level of wet. Instead I was trying to match the color of the overall picture to a word. The end of the show had the dog playing around pretending to pee on stuff (along with another dog). Then he pulled a bit of ground/grass over himself like a blanket and went to sleep. The government was after me for something - big brother dystopian government. There was a tracker jacker chasing me. We found out that this specific type of bird food threw their tracking ability off. Some guy in an outdoor class had some and was feeding it to birds in a feeder. After that, I always carried a little bit of the food around to keep the trackers off of me. I was in a bathroom one time with them outside it waiting for me to come out. Someone distracted them long enough for me to get away. They sent a boy after me - made me fall for him and used him against me. They had injected me with something that weakened my will - I was very pliable and prone to weeping after that. They boy I was in love with helped them take me captive. I believe he loved me too, but truly felt he was doing what was in my best interest by taking me captive. They used a boat to take me away from my old life and into their captivity area. I was simply depressed after this. Deep depression - the kind where everything means nothing - don't care enough to do anything. Was mostly naked in a common area - getting to my cloths in a locker of some sort. didn't care though. Indoors basement like area in a huge complex building. some guys were playing video games in a common room. Maybe guitar hero.
One of the last dreams I had this day started with me watching a documentary of a man in his 20s who resembled the cartoon character Shaggy from Scooby Doo; Prior to this, I'd seen a photograph of a man who did resemble Shaggy but I don't think it was him who I saw in the dream. He in the dream was wearing a red shirt, I think, And a black coat and perhaps blue jeans. He may have had a cap, Too. It started with him talking about something while sitting down. Then, I didn't realize it but it was as if I was seeing from his perspective or a perspective closer to him as he sat at a small round table in a restaurant with a man who I think was a bookie. The bookie said something like "So you're betting all this money on a candy bar? I like that." Fast forward to a part with a shopkeeper at a counter. I first saw large wrapped candy bars coming out of a box with a hole cut out in the front and most of the candy bars were of the common variety but there was one particular bar that was different. But, It wasn't the one that the store owner wanted; From what I'd gathered, There was something akin to the golden tickets in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory seven years prior to the man getting the bars and some cases had a rare box of candy. Suffice to say, There were also some other cases with a more common variety which is what the store owner got. After this, The store owner commented on the matter and said "I don't get it." Thus, I knew he wasn't going to be paid. He then didn't say anything but he shrunk (Not literally) from the conversation and left the store. Then once he left the store, Four short-haired blond men who were quadruplets beat him up badly on the ground. I think one of them was dressed as a medical officer of some kind; He was dressed in white. A police officer resembling a British one from the early 1900s was nearby and tried beating on at least one of the quadruplets with a cymbal or a small cymbal, I think, And he may have knocked that one out for a bit but then he himself was knocked out at some point, I think by what he tried to use to knock people out with. Then once the men were done beating "Shaggy" Up, One of them said something about going to another part of town. At some point here I know I was crying over the matter. Then, I saw "Shaggy" in a hospital elevator in a sloped stretcher. Shortly after, He was moved out of the elevator. I may have seen another person in a stretcher and I woke shortly after that.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening I am walking a path up a hill, alongside others. Around us, on the hill, are scattered buildings. I am a visitor and they are students there. I become semi-lucid when I look at the sky and realize how unreal it looks. The colour is super sharp, the clouds are moving too fast and there's something just mesmerizing about all that. The realization of the dream nature of things plunges me into a state of profound melancholy, bliss and hypnosis. The girl walking by my side says "Oh my god, you look like you are in love!". What??? No, she got it wrong. What I am is hopeless of ever being in love. What I am is ready to let go, because there's nothing holding me back. No hope, no illusions. And I remember Morpheus' quote "You have the look of a man who accepts what he sees because he is expecting to wake up." That's what I am. She doesn't understand. Anyway, further ahead I see a tree and from the tree top falls a guy who is burning in flames. When he is contorting on the floor, I notice he is a buddhist monk on red and yellow robes. I scream to my friends to go and help him, while I run to one of the buildings to call 911. I find a reception where I make the call, but then I feel I should have helped to stop the fire instead, so I run to the tree again. My friends are there looking puzzled and there's no sign of a burning man anywhere. Instead, there's a couple of westerners, a guy and a girl, sitting under the tree, although they are also wearing the buddhist monastic robes. My friends say I allucinated and go away. The monk boy befriends me. He wants to know what I saw. Then I ask if I could possibly be seing him in the future, but he assures me he would not ever self-immolate. Although he feels just like me, ready to let go, he would not waste this life. He chose to be a very, very sad monk. We feel complete empathy for each other. We hold hands very strongly. I feel his warmth becoming mine. For some reason his hands are incredibly dirty and greasy, but I don't feel disgusted. We just can't let go of each other anymore.

Total sleep time: 9 hrs Prebed: 1 glass of soy milk Special HI: somewhere between a few mins-to about half an hour after falling asleep, I wake up as I sometimes do and stare in the dark, seeing a grid of hexagons that is everywhere. I get special HI maybe once a week or every two weeks always when emerging from deep sleep and whatever I am seeing is always imposed on the room. It mostly has to do with the fabric of space. Dream1: I am looking at the lower part of a door and break it up a bit so that whatever is behind is slightly visible, initially it looks like a corridor with other doors. As I pass through it, I find myself on the roof of our old home, or something similar. I enjoy the view, but it is rather high and I almost fall over the edge. The roof platform is supported by a thin wooden beam which moves as I am there, the roof is not very stable. I try to fix it, the beam is actually the foot of the bed? A friend of mine comes and I ask him for help. While he is too heavy to accompany me on the roof, he can at least hold my legs so that if I lose balance, he will catch me. Fragment2: My mom is making promises she cannot and in my opinion should not keep. She is also financially supporting her best friend who now expects me to deliver some toothpaste to them. I go looking for this special toothpaste, but I can't find the particular color that they want.
