All these children had become possessed or cursed or something. They were coming after us. Their touch evoked extreme fear - I was screaming at several points in the dream. Ran up stairs and barricaded the children outside. There were a lot of people in here. They didn't quite believe me, so wound up pilling the barrier (barricaded door) down and experiencing the fear themselves.

I'll record triggers for lucidity here:

- Being at home and realizing something is off, looks strange, something is happening that is unusual (And both times that this has happened in a dream, I've then smashed through a window in an attempt to make something happen or to change the scene).

I'm using this entry as a space to record themes and patterns that I notice in my dreams:

- going to the washroom in public, being exposed, people watching me
- trying to get home to Vancouver from my dad's in Edmonton, not being able to, being lost, not having enough money, having some obstacle preventing me from getting home
- lifelong dream: running around, going through people's houses, backyards, running away
- odd proportions

Review: A fun but strange dream in which I have to collect pieces of dragons for some magical task. Only problem is I have two employers both asking for the dragon pieces but I can only return to one. The dream starts with a curse by Poseidon.

Dragon Pieces: Two Paths
The land is frozen and a blizzard blows unceasingly. But its summer! I'm a fawn like creature with fae wings. I buzz over the snowy landscape but all I can find are monsters!

I don't see any people or the rest of my magical fawn creatures. I fly up a mountain side towards where the city should be. The monsters here were even taller. I desperately try to fly even higher to get over their heads.

But one monster was as tall as city skyscraper! I'm too slow and I can't fly over him. He's no monster, he's a god, Poseidon. Poseidon snatches me like a fly.

Inside Poseidon's dark castle I find another fawn creature. I remember admiring his fuzzy ears. My friend explains to me that its Poseidon who's cursed the land with winter. I remember seeing a text of some sort explaining to me which deity goes to which month - clearly Poseidon doesn't belong to this month.

The old god Poseidon has asked something of me, I don't remember what. But I remember bargaining with him. I wanted him to end winter so my fawn friends can play in summer again. The price for my request was to make love to him. Well it worked I guess.

Winter melts away and Poseidon and his monsters disappear.

I fly all over the human city but I don't see any of my fawn friends! I fly into an old castle atop the mountain. The castle is very steam-punk. There's a giant hanger and some sort of workshop with weird devices. It's not so much of a castle anymore than it is someone's private business place.

The old man running shop realizes I'm looking for something. I tell him about my problem, that I can't find any of the fawns. He tells me he can help me out, but requires making a magical device using pieces of dragons.

"Pieces of dragons?" sounds easy! I flew away and started my task. The human mountain city was huge. There was another, more fancier, castle on the other end of the mountain.

In my desperate search I fly into that castle looking for dragon pieces. The royalty there realize I'm looking for something. When I explain the situation they show me some sort of fancy telescope thing. But in order to operate their telescope to find my friends, I have to bring them dragon pieces.

I buzz all over the city and make my way towards the gates. There I find two dragon heads dismembered from their bodies. I pick up one of the dragon heads - it's still alive!

"You want my scales don't you?..Sigh..That's alright. Not much else I can do now."

"Thanks"

I nibble off his scales and carry them in my mouth like a chipmunk. But I didn't know who I would bring back the dragon pieces to! The steam-punk run down castle with the family run business, or the royalty run castle with a fancy telescope?

I'm lost in the city. I'm not even sure which way was back to either castle. I finally find a castle atop the mountain. I swoop in and spit out the dragon pieces in this weird device.

"She came back!" A male clerk operating a computer seemed really surprised. "We thought she had taken her business else where"

I just realize that I'm in the steampunk castle. Wait! I don't want this castle, I want the other one. I pick up the dragon pieces again and fly off. As soon as I leave the steampunk castle launches their weird machine. They promised to use it only when I had returned with the dragon pieces. For me it was like saying they didn't want my business anyways.

I'm heading towards the other castle with my dragon pieces. And thats when I wake up.

The most recent dream I had I was going to try to talk to a dream character. In the dream I was behind a person in a place I didn't recognize. The person was in a wheelchair and I noticed he was missing a foot. Now that I think of it this person could have been a friend of mine who is in a wheelchair sometimes but can walk a little and is afraid of loosing his foot eventually... I made it a goal to say "hello" to a dream character but I failed this time because I got to excited I was lucid. This happens quite a bit (me getting too excited then waking up...).

I am not sure if this was a real definate lucid dream or not, but this is one of the most recent dream I've had this week.

I suddenly found myself flying, and I started off as hovering outside of my house nearby this boy school. I realized I was hovering, and I said to myself, "Wow!" and I was really excited. I think at this point, I realized I was dreaming.
So I decided to take this oppertunity to go off somewhere and fly. But the thing was, I couldn't get myself to fly up into the air. Instead I was slowly floating down. I was at a street intersection and and I was very close to the ground. Then I was hit by a purple (dark blue?) car.
And thats where I woke up. It was a very short and sudden dream, but I remember it very clearly.

Sunday 4.21.13

Last night bed around 10pm - 7:30am

Today nap 10:30pm - 2pm

Got only indication that vibrations would start, but they didn't develop. Had a few non-lucids.

DR: I'm watching a bicyclist rushing down a steep, concrete slope to his buddy, who slid off the bike and kept sliding down. He landed on the bottom ledge, where ocean waves were breaking and making spray. I was surprised, because at first it looked like concrete banks of urban river, not ocean.

I'm walking through ruins of something, maybe factory. There is a small monster chasing us. It turns out to be a small dog with something on his face. We take him with us, give him a bath and he looks like a normal dog. As he is on a blanket next to us, I see an extra paw and I look closer and she is giving birth. Her former owner sais she lost the dog somehow and she wants it back. So there is a debate as to whom she belongs now.

I'm between tall houses, like projects in NY. There are kids playing outside without supervision. I'm really scared for them. As they are running around, some of them are pushing strollers. One has a newborn in it and the other one the puppy. I'm so scared for them.

A woman comes to me with big book. She opens it and tells me she had been gathering info about [girl's name]. I tell her I don't know her, thinking she wants to rant about my friends daughter. She says it doesn't matter and she reads me about her anyways.

Not much recall today, i think because i went to sleep slightly later due to making of certain video.

I recall some kind of base and some fight.

First of all, I'm sorry for the absence (again). Good thing I'm not a mod, like I wanted to be a few months ago. Adam's had a stroke, but he is recuperating. I think recuperating is different from recovering. Recovering sounds like things will be the same as they used to be - things will never be like they were, and in many ways, that's a good thing.

My dream that I had today, as I slept late for the first time in weeks and caught up on much needed rest, was beautiful. I was inside of a multi-story building with my 12 year old daughter, Kat. Somehow the building was a dragon (?), and the balcony was its mouth. we held hands and jumped off the balcony together, floating harmlessly high into the air, and landing together in a lush green park, with pink flowers, white flowers, every kind of flower, and clear water bubbling in a brook nearby. several time, over and over, we flew and landed sometimes jumping up to fly, others simply lifting off without any effort. I remember seeing a rust-red dragon flying in the distance, but it never approached us, never caused us any harm, we were in no danger. It was just relaxing and very nice. I woke up refreshed, feeling my daughter and me had spent time together, just us, making a memory.

These are dreams from some time ago, I cannot remember what days. But most of them are fairly boring, and I'm only putting them in for the purpose of my dream journal.

I was swimming in some harbor area, it was kind of half lake, half swimming pool, half lake with these huge concrete walls going up the sides. It was almost like a large cement dock for boats that was no longer used.
There was a small beach between the walls with a sandbar just big enough for two or three people to walk along. The harbor was quite wide though.
I met up with my dream guide and we went to go flying somewhere. (enter dream logic) We got onto some school locker doors and started flying on them like hover-boards. It was me, my dream guide, and this other dream character, a boy with black hair.
I commented on how it was strange that these people "looked so similar to people I've seen in dreams". In other words, I was very close to being lucid.
We flew on the locker doors out of the harbor area into a small town by the side of the ocean. We were flying very low, and weaving through the streets until we came to this very large square warehouse building.
The building was what I remember the most about the dream. It was made out of corrugated sheet metal. The sheet metal was supported by steel beams. The entire structure was very old, and had rusted and collapsed in some places. The floor was flooded, because the building was next to the water. There was a bridge stretching across the inside of the building, perhaps about three stories above the water.
Among some of the breaches in the building's side. vines were hanging, and the sunlight was showing in. The entire scene was very vivid, and oddly beautiful...
I got off my locker door and just watched. The male dream character flew down into some hidden door near the bottom of the building. My dream guide disappeared from the scene.

Once again, I was on some beach, but this was much more open, without the concrete walls. I was wearing only a swimsuit, and decided to go swimming.
I started to run in the water, just as a fairly large wave formed in the water. The sun was setting behind the wave, and I could see through it. I saw about half a dozen sea-urchin type creatures in the water. I began to run the other way, but the wave crashed and washed up to about my knee, and one of the urchin creatures was stuck into the back of my right leg, right around the back of my knee.
Once I was clear of the water, I noticed people running from the water while screaming. Some people had as many as ten of the urchins stuck to them.
I looked at the one stuck to my leg. It was about the size of a fist, with spikes about two inches long. And this was the weird part, the urchin was actually a bright pink color.
But the spikes were stuck in my legs and there was blood pouring down. I bent over and puts some sand into the palm of my hand. I used my hand to knock the creature off my leg without touching the spikes directly. But I could feel the stinging sensation spreading, as though I had been poisoned.
The last thing I remember was some dream character, a boy with black hair pointed a gun at me. He didn't have any of the creatures stuck to him.

I was talking with a group of people online via Skype chat. Everyone I was talking to was from this website (Dreamviews) and we were moderating the forums.
Our goal was to find people who posted fake dream journal entries and pretended to be really good lucid dreamers when in reality, they were not. We were supposed to take down the fake DJ entries.
Somebody accused me of being one of the fakers.

I was in school, and remembered immediately that I need to a reality check because my school is one of my dream signs.
I looked at the clock, looked away, and it had changed, I kept doing it, about 3 times, and it kept changing.
Surprisingly, I didn't actually get that excited, so I stayed in the dream.
So, as soon as it hit me that I was dreaming, my vision twirled, and this yellow, Chinese/Korean, text appeared in front of me.
And then immediately, I was back to clear vision again.
I decided to tell one of my teachers I was dreaming and then I was watching her and her husband playing golf, and then I flashed back to where I was in the classroom.
So, I went through the day until I was in a computer suite. I told people I was dreaming, and they just went "Cool." and stuff.
Then I heard someone say "I need some earphones", so I tried to materialize one, it ended up looking like a pencil, but oh well, it was my first time, and he seemed to like it!
I was then at home, on my laptop, and I could hear my Mum, sister, and Dad come through the door, and I immediately had to tell my mum I was in a lucid dream!
When I told her, she started shouting "YOU'RE NOT! YOU ALWAYS DO THIS! YOU'RE SO SELFISH!" etc... and then I woke up.

-End-

I was at my dad's and it was sunny outside.
I was in my room and had just woken up, I rolled over to check my laptop and noticed the time was "100:3", so I looked away, then looked back and it was now "100:4", I kept doing so and it kept going up one digit.
I knew I was dreaming.
Everything turned dark and fuzzy, I got up and couldn't stand up properly, it was like I was drunk.
I started rubbing my hands together and the dream started to stabilize. I walked through the corridor and could hear my sister in the shower; I started talking to my dad but can't remember what either of us said.

-End-

The whole dream was oriented around a Train.
Me and my dad were in a train station, and I knew I needed to take over the train because it was full of slaves (the slaves were like little goblin/oompa loompa things).
The train station was like a post apocalyptic settlement. (a bit like a Fallout 3 settlement, kinda reminded me of a lighter version of the Metro 2033 station)
We stole the train, but it was coming off the tracks like they weren't even there, it was like spinning and stuff.
We were then in another train by the slave train suddenly driving near where I live down a hill past tree's etc... we then jumped into the other train and started riding it down the hill, although, it was hard to stop.

-End-

It was Halloween.
I think I was moving house?
Me, my Dad, and my sister where in the Merlo. (dad's old tractor)
Going to pick up what we thought was an old car, it was mum's current car for some reason.
Got there.
Tried to pick up the car in the Merlo.
Walked around the village.
Saw people from my school.
There was smoke everywhere. (It was like fog)
I was trying to scare people.
Went back to old car. (now looked like 30's era car)
It was on fire.
I tried to blow out the fires by blowing on them.
The fire started spreading more.
I tried to blow out all of the flames.
Pulled old photos, videos and cassettes out of the glove box.
There was suddenly a middle agedwoman watching.
She wasn't helping.
She said that she was scared because it was dark so she was just watching us, we all started laughing, she started drinking wine.
The tire melted on the car.
The whole car was ruined.

Dark Souls-ish Dream - The Lost Gun

Genre: Dark Fantasy

Legnth: Medium

Lucid Non-Lucid


I am standing in a large central hub of a dark, twisted world. This hub is essentially a gorgeous train station, however it is ancient and crumbling. Vendors of all sorts of goods are set up throughout the train station, and other "players" are scattered around, talking to each other. I stand in front of a bandaged vendor, and from what little skin shows I can tell that he has been horribly burned at some point in his life. He has just improved my favorite gun. A gorgeous, ivory-plated six-shooter, with an extended barrel and runic carvings throughout. Its a classic pistol, flint-lock and like something out of the revolutionary war. I really don't know anything about guns, but somehow I knew plenty in this dream...

I have just spent tons of this universes currency on him improving it, and I am excited to try it out. A "player" - someone that I know is another adventurer and survivor like me - comes to the same vendor, smiling. She has white hair, a reoccuring theme three nights in a row for me. I smile back, and put my gun on the table to pay the vendor. He thanks me for the business in a gravelly, damaged voice, and I reach down for my gun to go test it out.

Its gone.

Looking around, I see the white haired woman making her way quickly out of the Station, pushing past players and looking about anxiously. That bitch just stole my beloved gun!

I run back and buy another, totally un-upgraded pistol in haste. It will have to do. I holster it next to my musketeer sword, my other weapon, and chase after her. She sees me hot on her tail, and breaks into a run, choosing to go the way of the sewers. As I run after her through the muck - phantoms materialize out of no where in the shape of british red-coat sailors. I fence with them quickly, knocking one blade aside, and putting a few bullets into his back. I leave the other one and run after the thief once more.

I finally catch sight of her as I reach the end of the sewer. Many more red-coats have formed behind me, but I pay them no mind. She enters a door that looks very much like an old schoolhouse door, and I crash in after her.

The Schoolhouse and Skrillex

As I crash into the door, I find myself in a gutted school room, also looking dusty and ancient. My girlfriend is asleep on one of the beds, and I actually notice that it seems to be more of an infirmary than anything, though I know she isn't sick. I forget my quest for the gun instantly, and I lay down to go to sleep. Before I can, there is a knock on the door, and a girl I recognize from my college campus asks if her and her friend can come sleep because of some strange situation I can't remember. My girlfriend shrugs so I say yes, and she proceeds to bring about thirty people into our room.

So much for one friend?

One of the kids begins to play a Skrillex song (a dubstep music artist), and I tell him that I have some nice speakers in my room (which I do). I take his iPod and then realize that the remix of the Skrillex song doesn't actually exist... Wait... Is this a dream? I think to myself, as my alarm goes off.

Phew! That dream was a doozie, and I was ALMOST LUCID! Gahhh. I think I was way too tired to lucid dream though, as I was already starting to fall asleep at 9PM and ended up finally going to bed at 1:30AM

More to come tomorrow!
