    1. 16 Feb: Community in a secret complex goes into war, chemical weapon terrorism

      by , 02-16-2021 at 09:24 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

      I live in a community within a sheltered complex with many layers or levels inwards. We can go outside but we have to be careful coming back to not reveal our entrances and entrance codes. I go out for the 1st time and without permission, by sneaking out after some group. Inside the door there is a poster with the pin number to come back in and I have to memorize it. The outside is just a normal city alley. I get in trouble soon after when I encounter a group of dudes who seem to be up to no good. I try to shake them off, but they keep following me, so as soon as I can, I try to go back into the complex. But somehow they saw me putting the pin code and they manage to come inside. The first tier of the complex is just a giant warehouse organized as a maze and I manage to escape them as I know the place better. But they also seem to know too much, so I try to reach the authorities to warn about the intruders. I learn they aren't the first ones. There has been some attacks and intrusions from the outside and seems like there are people from within helping out and we are about to go into war. They want to recruit me to fly a drone, but the process is too scary. They basically plug in our brains to an AI drone. It makes no sense to me as the AI is making all the decisions any way and the pilots just look like zombies. They say if the drone is shot down the pilot isn't even aware of anything. I don't get it. So I run away from that to and join a rebel group within this world that lives on top of a hill with trees and a whole natural life. Some drone crashes into their territory or so I thought. Turns out it really just landed in there and it brings weapons. Basically this group is also being called to join the fight.
      Then I meet some really underground rebels and join them. But I am a bit suspicious of their methods. They take me along to some mission at an official governmental building full of people who are there to work out some bureaucracies. Riverstone is there. My "friends" disappear for a while and when they come back they put on some masks and tell me we need to go. I know what they just did, so I say no. They leave me behind and block the exit door. I warn people that there is a chemical weapon about to blow up and immediately something blows up in smoke. Riverstone panics and I ask him to look around for heavy objects we might use to break the door or a window. He tries a vase to break a window, doesn't work, he inhales some gas and starts collapsing. I see a secondary door in some nook where the smoke hasn't reached yet and I grab a fire extinguisher and strike it down until I break the lock. It leads to a hallway with open access to a garden with a lake. I go back and call everybody to this door and tell them to help the ones who already lost conscience and are laying on the ground. After some effort, there were no casualties, but people are very tired and in shock. A couple persons offer me some cookies as a gesture of appreciation for my help and I find them delicious.
    2. Lucid, Video Game on Phone

      by , 02-16-2021 at 05:59 AM (Cities in the Astral)
      I am walking with some woman along an industrial fence line. I have a false memory that Jason S. has told me about living here (Russia) in the past and not enjoying it because of the poverty. The woman says it must have been after 9/11. We round a corner and I find a very beautiful area outside of what appears to be a college. I go into a classroom section and someone gets me to sign up for a phone app where we can play poker against each other. I do that for a bit both winning and loosing money. The poker hands were montaged and not detailed. I then find a video game app that is kind of based off sonic but also has a RPG type set up. I actually play that through three short levels and it is fun and vivid. I am approached by a female professor who thinks I am someone else. She keeps telling me things about myself that clearly have to do with her mistaking my identity. She gets real close and touches me through my clothing provocatively. I move away from her as this seems likely to end up a distraction from the dream and anyways I do not want to play a scenario where I am tricking anyone. I see a building that must be a student union. In the atrium is a crowd of youths talking about their frisbee club. Someone wants to know if I would like to join. I ignore this as a dumb distraction and attempt to go into the building. One of them is blocking the door. I think he is just being rude. He says I can not go in there. I tell him to leave me alone and push my way past him and go inside. A security guard comes up and says they are trying to close up and why did I come in through the closed door. I have to leave. When i leave there is a teller window and they give me twenty dollars I am supposedly owed from the phone app earlier.
      The dream shifts to plot being revealed in a cut away. The guys I played with are doing some sort of criminal activity involving cutting some power. There is some sort of reward of 3% for catching me. This supposedly centers around me getting on a phone while I was in the Student Union. The cut away is happening while in another view (duel reality running at one time) I am walking down the sidewalk away from the building. At this point my alarm wakes me.

      Dream - Reconstructed Brands & Destiny Islands' Protectors & Flashbang Is Too Early & Shower Troubles & I've Never Seen You Cry Before



      Dream No. 752 - Separated Sections

      Dream 752 A - Reconstructed Brands

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was at a distorted version of Knox MYER, doing Christmas shopping although some sections looked they were stocking for Easter instead. At one point, while I was on the second floor, my grade four teacher was there, but she was twisted in this dream. I can’t remember anything that she said or did though, just that I felt very uncomfortable around her.

      Eventually, I was on my own again, as I went to the bottom floor to seek out my favourite clothing brands. However, in the dream, they were supposedly on an even lower floor, in which I had to walk a fair distance to reach the area. In the midst of the corridor to the new area, it felt like MYER and the rest of the distorted shopping centre were blended together, but it looked cool.

      I did end up reaching the basement, which the colour scheme of it was yellow and black like in real life. I ended up seeing the ‘Princess Highway’ brand of clothes as they were in real life, but wasn’t sure about what happened to any of the other brands. A young lady that worked there then approached me and told me that one of the other brands had been reconstructed, and then she showed me where those clothes were. With the ‘reconstructed’ brand, all the clothes seemed to have white collars on them, making them distinctly different from everything else. However, I can’t remember anything in the dream that happened after this.

      Dream 752 B - Destiny Islands' Protectors
      I can’t remember much about this dream. From where I can remember, it was a sunny day with blue skies and I was heading to my high school, apparently on a Saturday, for some parent volunteer event. Just outside the front gates, I was speaking to someone, but I have forgotten who exactly. I told them to call for Riku to come and protect them and as I said this, I could perceive Riku’s energy coming from the Destiny Islands; not only that, but Kairi’s as well. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream 752 C - Flashbang Is Too Early

      The entire of this dream took place with me being on Discord. At first, I seemed to be watching this video of David Gallagher hosting some sort of convention panel by himself, as if he was directing it. He was saying some garble; something about how Buzz stayed and Riku went. Riku was seen in that video as well; this time, in his KH3 Shibuya graphics.

      I was then on another part of the Discord with the wrestling community I know in real life. Edward (Ed) B had posted that he was making a permanent change to the start time of his wrestling show; that he would be starting it three hours earlier than before. I shook my head as I realised this would be 7:00 AM for me… I was not happy. However, after a few short minutes of processing my frustration about the change, the dream had ended.

      Dream 752 D - Shower Troubles

      There wasn’t much that happened in this dream. I was in my mum’s bathroom of the old house, taking a shower in there. During the shower I was fine, but it was when I got out of the shower that I apparently needed help with something. As I called out for help, there was energy coming, and a feint sub-scene processing in the background of the dream, that Riku and Aqua were on their way to my parents’ bedroom, which was just outside the bathroom. The dream then ended.

      Dream 752 E - I've Never Seen You Cry Before

      The dream started with my in some unknown indoor area, which looked like a darkened version of my main school science lab, but with some other aspects as well. It felt like a blend of familiar environments, which in the dream turned unfamiliar. As for myself, I was standing on one of the benches in the room, and decided to throw a screwed up paper ball which ended up hitting Riku on the back (he was in his KH 2.8-Prologue appearance). As he turned around in startled manner to notice me, he didn’t look happy. However, as I didn’t intend for it to hit Riku, I repeatedly apologised; but it seemed like nothing I said was going to make things better.

      I then noticed the Wayfinder Trio on the left side of the room, and the Seasalt Trio on the right side of the room, each of them floating as ghosts. Even though they were expressionless, I could tell via energy that they were aware of Riku’s anger and they felt they had to do something to suppress it. They each flew into him, absorbing themselves to now be a part of him. And lo and behold, Riku’s demeanour now felt different, as if he now remembered who he was as my dream guide.

      As I kept constantly apologising and freaking out over Riku, he spoke and told me that it was okay. Even though I seemed fine in-dream, Riku seemed to take notice of the fact that I ‘wasn’t myself’ as he came right up to me and offered me a hug. Still flustered from the previous situation, I asked if that was okay. He said yes and also said ‘I’ll hold you for as long as you want’. That’s when a feeling of relief but also excitement washed over me. As Riku put his arms around me, this time holding me tightly against him, with my head tucked into his neck; he held me for about half a minute before I said he could release me.

      The dream then changed scenes to me being on my own in the front yard of my old house. As I was walking towards the carport, the circular poles in the corners of it seemed to morph into the large square poles that it had in real life. However, it gained circular poles in the middle of its borders, and as I was motioning towards the carport uncontrollably, I was afraid I was going to hit one of the poles.

      The dream however showed me in the entryway to the back gate all of a sudden, which was just outside the other side of the carport. I was seen moon-jumping across multiple steps in slow motion, which was also considered a back-flip at the same time. Apparently I was getting used to the features of my new powers that I gained from Riku holding me from a prolonged amount of time. Eventually, I managed to moon-jump from the very bottom step all the way up to the same level that the driveway.

      And then the dream had changed scenes again. I was now in my old bedroom, but with my current bed, and I was crying; apparently because of my dad who had done something in the dream. Riku was seen coming into my room, with the same appearance as before, like he picked up from where he was that I was crying and so came to see me. He looked shocked and confused as he said to me “I’ve never seen you cry before”, putting a hand on the shoulder of mine that was facing upwards (I was lying on my side). As I told him about my dad, he then went “did you want me to say anything to him?”. However, I was so angry at my dad that I told Riku “I’m calling security”. As Riku walked out of my room with the idea he wasn’t needed, the dream ended.

      Just acknowledging that during the last lockdown, my subconscious was doing some very shonky (rip-off, dodgy, scandalous) stuff to cause me to reject Riku in my dreams. When the lockdown lifted, he came back. But Day 1 of this new 2021 lockdown being imposed, my subconscious has reverted back to it's 'behaviour'. I'm just acknowledging this as a technique to my subconscious and to nip its issue in the bud this time. I am also making it accumulate 'debt' this lockdown for every time it does something shonky. So let's see how much it debt it accumulates this year!

    4. Dream - Overgrown Market Shed & Riding A Light Cycle

      Date of Dream: SUN 27 SEP - 2020



      Dream No. 751 - Separated Sections


      Dream 751 A - Overgrown Market Shed

      I can’t remember much about what happened in this dream. The only thing I can remember is that I was walking around a huge version of what seemed to be Dandenong Market. There were many ridiculous looking stalls and their items under the tent but I can’t recall what it was that was actually being sold.

      Dream 751 B - Riding A Light Cycle

      I was attending a Killester alumni event when I noticed ShoW and her sister ShaW there. I ended up talking to ShoW, but unlike how she was in real life, she wasn’t nasty to me in this dream. I ended up taking ShoW and her sister out of the school grounds, and got onto a light-cycle bike that was waiting for me. Yes, there was a light-cycle bike from KH-DDD’s world of The Grid, waiting for me outside the school gates, and this is how I was going to take ShoW and ShaW home. ShoW ended up getting on the bike as I got on her back, and ShaW was bunched next to us.

      So therefore, I ended up controlling the bike but did so from on ShoW’s back. There was a point though, where I didn’t seem to know the directions of the road their house was on, and I ended up going a million kilometres down Springvale Road, apologising to them as I seemed to take them past The Glen Shopping Centre at the middle of the night. The dream then ended as I attempted to go past Brandon Park and back towards the right area.

    5. Dream - TAFE Class Scandal

      Date of Dream: SAT 26 SEP - 2020



      Dream No. 750 - TAFE Class Scandal


      The dream started off at my house, with one of my old TAFE teachers Kevin coming to take corporate governance class which was to be held in my study room. We were supposed to cover three whole chapters in this class but Kevin never actually turned up. With that discovery being made, I asked if somebody else could take the class and my grandma seemed to oddly volunteer. It was near the end though the Riku ended up coming to take the class, but before anything could actually happened, I was made to wake up.

    6. Dream - We'll Find Kairi & Ballistic Sora & Murder Cave Creator

      Date of Dream: FRI 25 SEP - 2020



      Dream No. 749 - Separated Sections


      Dream 749 A - We'll Find Kairi

      I can’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was in some sort of corporate building, that looked like my university complex but wasn’t. Girls from all different schools came to gather at ‘our school’ and do activities with us. My RE teacher Mr. Bl took my group of mixed girls and we were going to learn a song to perform to the other groups.

      Later on in the dream, the school groups seemed to be leaving to go back their own schools. Sora was in one school group, and in this dream, we seemed to know each other, so I came to speak to him before he left, while the teachers were corralling his classmates outside, not knowing where he was yet. Sora seemed to be crying about something, and so I told him, “don’t worry, we’ll find Kairi”, as I hugged him and he returned a big hug back. And then he walked out to join the rest of his group as they walked through the distorted Dandenong to get back to his school. The dream then ended.

      Dream 749 B - Ballistic Sora

      I can’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, Two Rikus were affected by this ‘ballistic’ Sora going everywhere in what seemed to be the floor of a ballet practice room; the two Rikus were carbon copies of each other. In the dream, I could only save one Riku, and for some odd reason, I chose the cloned Riku over the real one, and so the real Riku was ‘wiped out’ by the ballistic Sora. I can’t remember anything else about this dream.

      Dream 749 C - Murder Cave Creator

      I don’t remember much about this dream at all. The only thing I can remember is that someone from my MNW community appeared this dream, one of the ‘murder cave creators’. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream No. 748 - Guardian Gathering


      I can’t remember much about this dream. From where I can remember, we were in the Land of Departure and Ventus had initiated some gathering with me and all the KH Guardians of Light. They were either in a line, or a circle around me, and they were all talking me and giving me some form of affection. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Date of Dream: TUE 22 SEP - 2020



      Dream No. 746 - Kingdom Hearts Christmas Shopping


      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, my mum and I were at a distorted version of the shops, a cross between Fountain Gate and The Glen. As we were walking through the massive underground park, my mum insisted we use the lifts to get the shops but I told her I didn’t want to unless Riku was with us. So we ended up heading towards the travelators which was the default way up anyway.

      As we walked through the main corridor of the shopping centre, we headed to a distorted version of David Jones where my helped me to look for Christmas presents for all the Kingdom Hearts guardians of light. I got them all one item each, but I said that I wanted to also get Riku something else, and for his items to be very special. I can remember getting some Donald and Goofy items for Sora and a Mickey item for Riku.

      We then went upstairs, this David Jones having ‘a million’ floors, to get the book section to hopefully find something for Aqua in which I was struggling to do so. I can’t remember anything else about this dream.

    9. Log 2118 - Two Tasks Two Misses

      by , 02-16-2021 at 04:56 AM (Dream Logs DWN-12)
      Created Monday 15 February 2021

      Got a DILD and some fragments. I tried two tasks in today's LDs, as the title indicates, I screwed up at both. Oh well. I had fun regardless.

      Scrap Group 1
      In a wide, darkened area, like an amphitheater. Monsters were lurking the place. I was given psychic powers, which I used to fly around and shoot telekinetic blasts.

      In a hotel lobby or a similar place. A bunch of of zany cartoon monsters (drawn in a 40's art style) were wrecking havoc. It was left to me and a handful of people to neutralize them. One of the creatures was a huge tree. I was told that it was mom, who had been corrupted into that form. I was conflicted on how to handle this.

      Dreamlet to dream. Various forgotten scenes. Vaguely recall being in a school. I slowly gained awareness. Warp.


      Dream 1 - Two Tasks, Two Misses

      The visuals started rather blurred. I was in a wilderness pathway leading to the gate of a large park, sunlight peeking through the leaves.

      Suddenly, mom suddenly rushed in from nowhere.

      "Hey!", she speaks frantically in Spanish. "How do I change the TV to channel 8?!"

      This only catalyzed my awareness. I turned away, dismissing her request. Ma kept babbling about a number of topics, such as trivial updates about my sister. No doubt the dream's way of distracting me. I claimed I'd attend her soon, but of course, I wasn't going to do such a thing.

      Since the dream felt unstable, I hurried to hold onto an old wooden railing nearby. I rubbed it carefully, as I worried about splinters. Once I was more assured, I seated myself cross-legged, and meditated. As expected, I began ascending, if much faster than intended. It took only seconds to reach the clouds.

      I thought of tasks at this moment. Just then, an ethereal female voice spoke.

      "Here he is!", she booms cheerfully. "He's FireFlyMan! A man of power!" A cheesy fanfare followed as she continued her speech. I listened intently. "With the ability to fly, and shrink himself, FireFlyMan is a hero like no other!"

      "Wait", I interjected. "When you mentioned power, what did you mean? Did you mean, like, super-strength?"

      "Yes.", replied the voice, annoyed. A pause followed before she continued her speech. "So join FireFlyMan as he journeys through the vastness of space...!"

      I interrupted once more. "That's okay, thanks. I'm good now."

      "Ugh. Fine.", the woman grunts.

      Task done (or so I thought; I realized wasn't in costume much later!). With that settled, I flew at sonic speeds to try warping. Suddenly, blue smoke erupted a distance away from me. From it sprang a massive space craft. Much of the ship consisted of glowing blue metal, its light flowing as a stream. Just as soon as it appeared, it vanished.

      But, something else was left behind: a huge portal, cackling with electricity of similar coloration to the craft. What else was there to do, but explore? So, I entered the warp heedlessly. I found myself in a maze-like wormhole. Much like the ship, it resonated with wave-like blue radiance. As I continued, the tunnel narrowed. Eventually, the path forks two ways. I opt to take the left.

      At this interval, thinking of a TOTM gave me a more definite destination: an alien planet. Once this thought occurred, the portal suddenly ended. I was thrust into a dark, foggy cavern of blood-red stone. Eerie violet lights sparked intensely in the distance. Certainly, this wasn't our world any longer.

      Without wasting time, I search for a plant. I soon found a patch of long blades of grass, faded green plants tinted blue at the points and edges. I then begin working at super-speed. First, I smash the leaves between rocks until they become a fine, vibrant purple powder. Then, by will alone, I conjured a campfire, along with a boiling brazier of water. Finally I throw the powder into the pot. The mixture reacted violently, exploding into purple smoke. Only a portion of liquid remained.

      I instantly grab the pot, and almost take an swig. But, fear of getting scalded, let alone of drinking an alien substance, held me back. I drew a deep breath, and tried again. Unfortunately, the dream deteriorated immediately. I wake up with a gasp.

      Thoughts:

      I woke up wanting to write down my dream recall, which was quite clear initially. Our alarms kept going off and this demotivated me a bit and I generally just felt a bit too sluggish to actually start writing my dream down; I hoped I'd remember some of it after getting up, but unfortunately not, perhaps because I got too distracted with other things, too soon.

      Just wanted to put this here as a memo to myself. Maybe next time I have such a clear recall I'll actually write it down, instead of not bothering.

    12. Unsatisfying flying. Fighting underwater.

      by , 02-15-2021 at 12:15 PM (DJ of lucid goals and how it goes)
      I'm flying over a city but I don't feel happy about it.

      Notes: I was able to fly because my mind was clear when I went to bed.

      I'm hunting a business man. He jumps into the water and starts to swim away. I swim faster and I'm able to drag him underwater with me. We exchange some punches but it doesn't hurt. I try to keep him under water as I go up to get more air but he is able to go up too. He has a whistle and starts to blow in it so that a high pitch very loud sound is coming out. I know that I am done for it now but I drag him underwater and struggle with him some more. I am able to breath under water and I almost acknowledge that it's a dream.

      Notes: My past dreams have had water in them. Either a boat on a sea or just water.

    13. 15 Jan: Invisible guy, anti-maskers, vain people and japanese sword maker

      by , 02-15-2021 at 10:36 AM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

      I am a guy who can become invisible. I see some guys bullying some kids and I follow them to see if they get violent. Instead, they take the kids to a house and I worry they are going to abuse them. One of them sits on a bed and calls the kids over. That's when I use my power of invisibility to attack them. They are confused but after a while of taking beatings, they realize it is an invisible being and develop a plan to catch me. I have to climb things and hang from places to escape them. This goes on for some time.
      Then I learn they have a sister and I fall in love with her at first sight. I become visible to her and she also falls for me. She helps me to get out of there and we talk a bit outside and become friends.

      We depart and I go to a grocery store. I notice the prices are ridiculously high, supposedly because this is a very chic neighborhood. I can only afford a tiny bag of snacks for 2€. At the counter, the cashier is insisting with two ladies that they have to wear mask, but resist and are rude to the cashier. I remember I am also not wearing one, so before I get closer to the counter, I put mine on. I get pissed at the women's attitude justifying their carelessness with pseudo-scientific arguments, so I scream at them that I am a biologist and all they just said is BS and tell them to wear the damn mask.

      My mom picks me up by car outside and we pass by some of the fanciest buildings in the area. Namely a big fancy hotel with only expensive cars outside and fashionable people hanging around. There is a couple heading to some sports car who are basically naked, as their designer clothes are just weird avant-garde black underwear. The guy has a thong and his basically butt naked. We make some joke about it and they hear it and they seem offended that we don't appreciate their high end futuristic naked suits. Further ahead I see lots of young aspiring models and just fashionable youngsters aspiring to fame, who hang out in a square waiting to be "discovered". Some are vlogging, others are being filmed for some reality show, but it looks like a freak show.

      Then my mom says she needs to go to this address of a Japanese man who makes knifes. I am pretty curious. We arrive there already late evening, he lives in a modern Japanese style house. There is one door to his residence and the next door is his shop, which has a window display with his work. The shop is dark and closed, so we ring the bell to his residence. No one comes and then we see some movement on an enclosed balcony on the first floor. We see a man moving and then half a dozen men in suits attacking him and being neutralized. I wonder if we should insist on talking to the guy. He clearly is more than a knife maker. But then his wife shows up at the door and welcomes us warmly. We say what we want and she takes us to the shop. There are lots of kitchen knifes and traditional Japanese crafts. Even some katanas, but all decorative. I ask her if her husband also forges swords and she seems upset with my questions. Claims he does not and never did. I sense that she is lying so I insist. Then realize either he no longer wants to or he just doesn't sell it to anyone asking. I want to know more so I try to show her I am not just someone. I ask from where in Japan they are, tell her I have been there some time myself. Unfortunately I don't know their village or town so I can't break the ice with that. But I start telling about the places I've been. She doesn't seem impressed. But she likes my mom and offers her some cakes. They sit at a table that has no place for me. I feel awkward but my mom, she tells me to sit down on the floor next to her and hands me over bits of the cakes.
    14. 14 Jan: Research team in retro sci-fi military complex in Colombia

      I am part of a weird team doing some research on some underground complex. The place is made of rammed earth, seems ancient, yet these are like top secret military facilities. There is some kind of tech or being which was found, not sure if on these undergrounds or somewhere else. This being or thing can alter matter, reality or at least our perception of it. I just joined in and I am watching and listening to a couple older researchers on the team, discussing their latest experiences and how it relates to some memory from their life together (they are a couple). Strangely, the guy is the sociologist whom (in RL) sold me my house and she is some americam actress (can't remember whom). They send me on a test. I don't know exactly what is going on, but they send me through a sort of maze and I encounter strange people. First I see a strange man and a mirror. He points to the mirror and I start swelling like a balloon. I am sure it is a trick, but then I look at my body and I am actually swelling like a balloon and feeling it. First reaction, I freak out, but then I recall it's likely an illusion somehow and I laugh, not afraid. And indeed it stops. Then I continue walking deep into the maze and I encounter a very tall man who grabs me. A pair of extra arms come out from his mid section of the body and wrap around me. I also freak out, but then again remeber it is all a trick somehow and indeed the man reveals itself to be a person on top of another and not some kind of monster. Then it even fades away revealing the illusion is even deeper and all is just mentally induced from the beggining to end. They were testing what kind of weird fears would manifest and how I would get out of it.
      They then walk me outside to a pateo with grass and lots of people having some kind of networking party, with a corner where children are beinf entertained by a theather play. I notice everyone is dressed like the 50s and there is a retro sci-fi kind of vibe to this whole place.
      There are some planes in the distance or something causing a bit of a noise and people want to go outside and check what's going on. So many of them head for the doors that cnnect directly to the entrance of this building. Outside there is a short staircase leading to a very large square. Around this square are colonial style buildings. I see the locals and realize "this is somewhere in latin america". Then notice flags hanging in several poles in the surrounding buildings and realize it's in Colombia. So there were really planes coming towards this town. And they attack. So we are advised to go back to the complex, close the doors and go to the underground levels again

    15. ccxxvi. Around town, cabinet climbing, crystal complex, basement meeting place

      Dream:

      (Long-ish. Recall broken up a bit.)

      Some bit in my home town. It seems dark but it's kind of day time, it's not just cloudy, because there's still colour saturation even in the dark. I walk around a corner of a modified version of where the primary school I went to is. There's something about this dream segment that has some consistency with previous dreams around this area. The buildings' height seems slightly exaggerated. The school itself has the main building in a different place, it's where the gate should be.

      There are some people I sort of bump into and talk with, I forget who. We are on the pavement by the main road that passes here, in front of the police station and where my cousin used to live.

      (Another bit, don't recall surroundings)

      There's some kind of wooden cabinet, not unlike the one we have here at home but smaller? Lighter wood stain. I'm trying to climb it. It has a hole of some sort on an inner side panel up top in the middle. Somehow, this is the entrance into a building. I've been there previously in the dream but recall is lost. The centres of mass in play mean that I can't balance myself properly to climb up.

      I remember I ask someone for help, someone I knew from school comes by, C?

      (gap)

      There's something about a vacuum and my eldest sibling. A car parking lot? Sort of hilly.

      Then, I'm in some kind of complex. It's got a high tech but magical feel. Purple and deep blue hues, with light blue highlights. Light seems neutral otherwise. Crystal walls or something. I am with other people, forget who, but one I think is a dream character and is guiding the way.

      Then a room with a crystal bridge or something. I think I cross it. Then I'm in a more normal looking basement. There are more people here, some possibly from my family. Some are just pure dream characters.

      (gap)

      I'm at a table in this basement with some other people, or perhaps I'm just a presence. A guy is having a happy conversation, with the air. And someone at the table starts to think this is odd. Then I see through his eyes and see he's talking to a ghostly woman.

      (rest of recall too vague to put into words)



      Notes:

      - Lately I've been playing a game where a character keeps seeing his dead girl-friend. That last bit from the dream seemed to be a related intrusion from that context.
      - The crystal place had a certain familiar feel, but I can't quite place it. On introspection, it only seems to be related to a general feeling of certain archetypical locations from several media (primarily animated films, games).
