[Tuesday, August 21st, 2012] I was in a multiple faded dreams that were set in a labrynth metropolis city of stone and metal that was built into the side of a supercliff, an empty ocean trench. I could see the sky most of the time, and it was the deepest blue you could imagine. Me and a group of friends were exploring the city and trying to find treasure. The funny thing is, the city wasn't abandoned. One fragment I remember was being on a flat metal surface with patterns of criss-crossed steam lines that went on and off... they were dangerous so you either had to time it when you were to walk, or jump over them carefully. I tried timing my walk and burned myself... Frustrated at the rest of my group's ease of travel over the steam, I tried jumping and somehow managed to do it perfectly... The very last thing I remember, was crowding around an elevator that led to an off-limit room. We were debating whether or not to go in, since it was probably off-limits, but I pushed myself in without hesitation. Me, two girls, and two guys. On our way up, the guys vanished. Suddenly the elevator reversed directions and headed down... I said, "Well... we can just tell them we were looking for the bathroom." One of the girls agreed, knowing that it was a half-joke. Once out of the elevator, I sprinted ahead to the left saying, "I'll just use that bathroom over there! BE RIGHT BACK." I followed the open labrynth toward a bunch of rusty-white metal platforms, suspending high up against the rocky wall. There were ladders, but I jumped up and scrambled myself up the side of the platform. (I really had to pee...) The guy who had dissapeared earlier was sitting lifelessly to the right. He phased in and out and appeared as colored metal rings for a moment. I think he had stolen something... or hurt himself... Just then, the other guy appeared, and he was muscular and shirtless and resembled my WL friend, Nathan... he picked up the injured man and began walking the direction I was headed. "Hey, I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick, when I get back, I'll carry him for awhile." My dreamscape faded to reality. (I was in an extremely uncomfortable position in WL and had to pee REALLY BAD. I emptied my bladder and here I am. I'm not skilled enough to jump back in my dream.)* *(I'd like to add, that around 7:00PM, me and my friend Nathan [the buff character from the dream] were sitting on a bench around town in WL, after smoking some weed stuff... I looked up at the sky and saw the EXACT blue sky as in the dream. It was impossibly blue, and was getting dark fast. Just as I mentioned all of this to Nathan, another friend of ours called and asked if we could give him a ride. Come to think of it, the lifeless guy from my dream looks strikingly similar to the one we were about to give a "ride" to, his name was Kyle. Kyle's a pretty weasley/stingy guy sometimes... Maybe he did steal something too!)
Stealth I'm walking around an indoor courtyard. Children live in rooms nearby. Some of these children are part of a prophecy which is soon to come true, though they don't know it yet. There are some dead children in the courtyard, including one that has apparently been hanged. Clearly evil forces are at work here, so I'm going to have to do my part stealthily. I sneak out of a side door, trying to avoid being seen by the children. In another room, there are some open-topped vertical pipes sticking out of the floor, about four inches in diameter. They are all full of water, though not all to the same height. I'm trying to scoop water out of the pipes with a higher water level and put it into the pipes with less water. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's important that I keep trying, because it will have some kind of important effect on the building around me. Frags: reading a poem in a novel
[I'm trying WBTB, which means using an alarm clock again, and so far it seems to be messing with my dream recall. . . .] Frags: a teacher who talks more about teaching than actually teachescar runs out of gas and I realize I brought a violin instead of my violagetting married
I was away for a few weeks... re-exams 'n stuff... so I couldn't spend much time into dream business. However, I remember a few dreams from the past two weeks quite clearly (albeit briefly). So I'll jot those down now in this combo-post. Slender Man's African cousin? Clearness: Fairly clear. Vividness: Intense! Realism: Set in the real world, but still unrealistic. Mood: Creepy... anxious... still, strangely fun. Lucid: No. This dream was about me and my sister "designing a video game" (although that didn't happen like in the real world). In order to do this, we played the game set in the house and in the garden (not virtually, but actually). The rules were to run from a certain starting point and hide. After a few minutes, a strange creature would appear which would come and find us. The last one to get caught is the winner. I didn't really know what the creature looked like, but I did know he behaved in a similar manner to the Slender Man. Same rule as in the game Slender counted; the more you look at him, the more of a threat he becomes. So then we pretty much just ran through the garden, keeping vigilant of the surroundings, every once in a while seeing him vaguely pop up from somewhere in the scenery. He looked like a rather dark, shadowy figure. At a moment when he was nowhere to be seen, we decided to get to the basement and hide in there, as we thought he wouldn't go and look for us there. Unfortunately though, after some time obviously he did. I panicked a little, and quickly "hid" in a quite poor place, but with my face against the wall, so there is no way he could pop up into my sight. I heard his footsteps. He was gradually coming closer and closer, as if his senses could tell him "warmer" and "colder" in his thoughts. Then... he stood RIGHT behind me. I heard his 2 feet land right behind mine and I felt his breath in my neck. I was shivering with fear. Then I felt a hand touching my back, he rudely turned me around, and then I saw his face from really close, which made me shit brix. His face could best be described as an African male face with features from Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot, and his facial expression can best be described with this image of Aku from Samurai Jack. It was so cartoonish, yet terrifying. In the next "scene", our video game was magically created, and we were designing a cover for the game, in some sort of... finger painting like way. My sister drew the image, and I decorated the background with scary lines like "Don't look behind you..." and "He's always watching...". This dream was blatantly and obviously based on the pc game Slender. Interestingly though, by that time I had never actually played the game yet, I only saw some brief gameplay footage from PewDiePie, so it was more or less based on my expectations of the game. It did make me curious to try the game myself in waking life the night after this though. Ancient lucid dream inducing room Clearness: The interesting part was clear, but I remember pretty much only that. Vividness: Kinda... Realism: Mostly unrealistic, but unfortunately it was realistic where it shouldn't have been. Mood: Good. Lucid: Almost! So basically in this dream I went on a vacation with my family to... Rome I guess, according to the visual style of the surroundings. Visiting the ruins of ancient Rome, and some museums, toured by a guide. I cannot quite remember the biggest part of the dream, but I do quite clearly remember the most important one. At some point in a museum, the guide told us about "ancient lucid dream inducing rooms", which were dark rooms with beds, where supposedly some sort of slight electrical activity manipulated your brain into easy WILDs. All you had to do, is believe that it works. I was very interested in trying this, as I had been reading about lucid dreaming somewhere before (guess where!), so me and my family decided to try out these rooms and spend the night in them. I got into the bed, closed my eyes, tried to clear my mind, and after a few minutes, I thought I would open my eyes and try doing a reality check. Now, get this... I actually did a finger-thru-palm reality check, but it didn't work. I think this is probably because I assumed that I had been awake all the time, completely not realizing that I already WAS in a dream all along. So therefore, my reality check had the same result as it would've had in waking life. Augh... so close...! So then... the next morning I left the room. As a skeptic. Heh. Ever since I had this dream, I realized I should probably try and take my reality checks more seriously, even though I really already was trying. It's so hard to genuinely doubt reality if you know you're obviously not dreaming. I'll keep up the practice, I guess. Underwater base action Clearness: I remember it very poorly. Vividness: It sure was exciting though for all I can remember. Realism: Very unrealistic. Mood: Not particularly good, not particularly bad. Lucid: No. This is just yesterday's dream. Nothing important, except it featured my most recurring dream sign, trains. I can't really tell much about it. All I know is that I looked like Johnny Depp (hey that is pretty awesome!) and it also featured Yuffie Kisaragi from FFvii as the second main character. It was basically set in a complex underwater base, consisting of hubs that were connected through, guess what, trains. It was probably kinda Rapture-like. The story was roughly about we 2 fighting for freedom... whatever that really meant! I fought with a tommy gun and Yuffie with her shuriken. At some point something epic happened which involved Yuffie being captured, but she frees herself in some epic way... dunno... aaaaand... well that's it, actually. Nothing new or memorable.
09-01-2012 -- I decide to have dinner at the Melting Pot (fondue restaurant). I don't have a mystery shop scheduled, but I hope I can find a way to turn it in to one, as I would be able to get my money back after the fact. I'm sat at a table and start looking through the menu and figuring which courses I may want. But I eventually realize I may be hampering myself as to mystery shopping by not waiting to let the server suggest something. Anyway, she comes up and asks what I would like, and I indicate I want the four course meal (supposed to be cheese fondue, salad, surf and turf, and then a chocolate fondue for dessert) and she agrees, and asks if I want deviled eggs or fried zucchini. What? There aren't supposed to be either of these on what I ordered. But I figure maybe they're being offered as an appetizer. So I ask for the deviled eggs. There's a manager sitting at a table perhaps 10 feet away, and he seems to be keeping an eye on me, so I think he may suspect I am a mystery shopper. I still continue to occasionally take brief notes on timing. It takes forever, but they finally bring me a big platter of deviled eggs. Then the owner (female) comes up to me and asks how long I waited. I say about a half hour, and she seems satisfied. When I actually calculate it out, it is about 32 minutes, which I think is too long. The eggs are tasty, but I don't eat too much of them because I am leaving room for everything else. I set most of them aside, planning to take them home. The wait for the next course is incredibly slow, and I find myself getting more and more sleepy. I almost trip on a small table next to mine, and end up pulling it under my table and pushing it to the back so it is out of the way. I'm getting more and more annoyed, and more and more tired. It's been more than an hour, and they still haven't brought the second course. Eventually I fall asleep, and I guess they just leave me there, because I wake up in the restaurant, nobody is there, and it is something like 8 in the morning. I look around, and not only did they never bring any more courses, but they came and took away the rest of my deviled eggs, and I'm really rather annoyed. I stumble out of the restaurant and climb into the Jimmy (my new car, only had it a couple of weeks) and start to drive toward the parking lot exit. But I realize I never paid the bill in any way, so I decide to go back inside and see if I can find anybody. Unfortunately, some idiot has a truck with which he is pulling two trailers, and he has parked so that he not only takes up two parking spaces, but the driving spot in between them, so I have to turn around and go another way. Idiot. CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR VERY STINKING SILLY LONG TRUCK CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR CAR | CAR I go back in the restaurant, and though they aren't open yet, I can get in, and I approach my table, where I manage to hunt down the bill. They are charging me $31.66 for a drink and an appetizer, when they never brought me the rest of my food. I call a manager over to try and complain about things, but he never slows down and shuts up enough for me to tell him most of what went wrong. He just makes change for me, and gives me a side order of fried zucchini, which I have no interest in at all.
2 nonlucids this morning: In the first one, I was Lucy to Frank Langella's Count Dracula. It was going pretty much like in the movie, but when the Count successfully stole me from Jonathan Harker, he didn't seem to want me anymore. Like I had been too "easy." lol In the second one, I was fighting off wolves one at a time in a snowy forest. There was an odd gate in the middle of the woods that somehow allowed only one wolf at a time to attack me. Each time, one would jump on me, and start biting my arm. And each time, I would pry open it's mouth, then force its mouth open so wide until it broke the jaw. When the alpha finally came at me, I did the same thing to him, but I felt bad for him for some reason. So after I broke his face, I choked him to death so that he wouldn't die slowly like the others. I guess I'm just gearing up for Halloween
I was at my middle school again. this is all pretty missjointed so I don't really know what order it was in but I'll try and make it make as much sense as possible. I'm in the school canteen when I see mrs allen my year seven english teacher who left at the beginning of last year outside the lunch hall. I call her name but she ignores me blankly so I run up to her because she was my favoroute teacher! when I get up to her she agnoligise me but doesn't seem happy particularly to see me and is focusing on books in the aria surrounding her all I remember now is that its test time and for some reason I (and a few friends) are not doing the tests for various reasons. I think we don't have permission or something to not do the exams but were not. Me, Hannah, Gemma and charlotte aren't going to do them and we were going to go to the ict room to play online games. I'm walking though the corridor when charlotte comes out of Mrs F's class room. she tells me that Mrs F will sit with us upstairs if we don't want to go to ICT. I remember us being upstairs alone before hand, but I can't figure out how or why or anything so can't write about it mrs F being my favroute teacher I decide to go upstairs so I can talk to her instead. I talk to Hannah who doesn't want to go upstairs Upstairs is where all the senior members of staff's offices are, its near the office in the way to the school But Gemma does so were going to go together. I'm about to walk into the Main office when Mrs scott A member of learning support, that I never really had any particular interactions with other than her helping in one of my maths lessons stops me. Gemma suddenly slips out the door on my left this isn't actually how the school is built, but it was like that in the dream she asks me where I'm going, I say upstairs and she goes 'no I know your game, your trying to get out of the tests' I say that I'm not. I can't remember the details but she continually verbally abuses me asking me about why I'm not going to the tests. I tell her about how I'm not doing the RE test because I don't need to because I'm too good at RE this isn't me being cocky, I often didn't have to do RE tests because I was at the top of the class she continues to tell me that I can't go through the doors.
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening A friend of mine invents a machine capable of extracting our "daemons" in the form of little tiny cute monsters. Each person has a different number of daemons with different forms and shapes. He also invents a kind of aquarium on a metallic pedestal with a controlled environment to keep the daemons, like fish on a fishtank. They can be taken out for playing, like pets, but people are warned that this is a dangerous game. I pick some of my daemons in my hand and I choose one to play with. They make things happen, like materializing our fears, playing mind tricks, etc. This one makes insects and worms appear all over the ceiling and the walls. I recognize this as an old fobia but I am aware that it no longer affects me like before, so I feel tempted to play with all my daemons and face all of the unknown dark corners of my mind,

I remembered a dream when I first woke up, but I forgot it now. I woke up, tried a DEILD and got a lucid dream. Unfortunately it was a short and forgettable one. I then tried another WILD, and went into sleep paralysis, kept my eyes closed, but felt myself in my old bed from my old house. I broke out of SP into my own normal bed, and went back into a dream Casino, with powers Me, my parents, and my brother were at a casino, with our two dogs, and a lot of luggage. I never actually saw my family in the dream, I just know they were present. I remember chasing around a friend from a minecraft server I play on, and then I put on a ring that made me invisible. At this point I walked around and noticed the girls bathroom, I went inside, still invisible. I went into a corner and poked a girl on the shoulder to get her attention. I expected sexy time, but instead she got scared, shouting "who's there!" and backed into the same corner I was in. She squeezed up against me but then quickly stepped back because she felt something that wasn't visible. I try using the ring to phase through the wall, but it didn't work. I pointed it at the sky to fly away, but nothing happened. I willed the ring to take me out of there, but failed again. I walked around the poor woman, left the bathroom in shame and entered the mens restroom because I had to pee. I am standing there going for like 2 minutes, then someone else comes in. I turn to see who it is, but then my stream starts going everywhere! I ask for help, but receive none. Instead of cleaning the mess up I just went to the urinal and finished. I woke up, noted my stupidity, then went back to sleep and into the next dream. Same casino, helping a girl So this girl I know from our church comes up to me and asks me to help her with her car. Not knowing what to do, I spend like 2-3 hours going to the garage and parking cars randomly. I finally get bored and go back into the casino, ask her where her car is, she replies either floor 36, or floor 42, this casino was not that tall... Anyway, we grab our stuff (from the last dream, it is a lot) but leave the dogs there. I get in the passenger seat, the girl gets in the driver seat, and my brother gets in the back. Turns out she wanted me to hold the passenger door closed while she drives home, since it won't stay shut. She offers to pay me $1000 so I say yes, so she takes off. The door proves to be really hard to keep closed, and we come up to this intersection called "Kyante st." and she tells me she was going to have Kyante help her, but he was busy. She drives up to the front of her house, which is like literally 2-3 blocks away from the casino. She thanks me for helping her, curtseys, then goes inside. She didn't pay the $1000, and we were left here, with all of our stuff, having to walk back to the casino... I look at the house, and it is a HUGE house, on a culdesac with a few other really big homes. So she is rich, in a rich part of town, but can't afford to fix her car, or pay us the $1000... Inside the house I see another church friend, who happens to have a nice, large house irl. So now me and my brother start gathering what we had, I look for my jacket that had things in it, I fear I left it in the casino, I find it(Also spotting a radio with earbuds on the dash that I gave to my dad irl, but to this girl in my dream), stuff some things inside, me and my brother both have our hands full with stuff, as the we walk back to the casino, and the dream ends.

This dream was short, but interesting none the less. It started out with my fourty year old brother Jason taking me too my old elementry school where he taught a fourth grade class (In real life he's a military chapelain). We walked into his class, and it was so strange and colorful. All of the kids were on computers with headphones on doing these strange learning excersizes. I looked over at Jason and said, "Wow dude, this is a lot different then when I was in school. This looks like what me and my friends got together to do on the weekends, but with more computer games." He laughed, and we talked for a bit in the class. I made a mildly offensive joke that he laughed at, which was a bit out of his character in real life. Later, I was by myself in my yard. I found a scooter with bright red wheels that my sister was selling in a yardsale and started riding around on it. This dream obviously came from me thinking about how I miss scooters the other day. They're so practical...
I dreamt that I was visiting a aquarium museum in Australia (never been there) with my mom. I saw a lot of beutiful fishes, I seemed so real, the colors... The most beutiful thing I dreamed in a while. Then we took the stairs to the second store. A woman is guarding the hall entrance. There where other people waiting as well. My mom asked to see the rest of the fishes, but the woman said that it was closed. They ended up arguing and a guy started to scream at my mom and I. I was with a backpack, I dropped it to the floor and fought him. I was trying to control my arms and legs to hit him, but it was very difficult, like the gravity was doubled. I threw him on the floor and we started ground fight ( I did jiu-jitsu for 2 years) then a guy showed up, separated us and said that the other guy had won. I argued that he didn't won and was very angry at the guy. The dream jumped and a gay dude (???) was jumping over me with a dagger. I took it from him and we fought again.
The dream starts out with me and my family sitting on our front porch watching a house down the street burn down. Since that house actually did burn a couple years ago and was rebuilt, my reaction was "Cool, I get to watch it burn again." xD The flames eventually caught the next house over on fire. We watched the people living there run around trying to grab anything important before it burned. As I was watching this, I noticed an orange light coming from behind me -- my house was on fire now. We only had enough time to grab one item we wanted to save before we had to get out. Everyone grabbed an item and a cat (we have too many cats ) and ran out the door. Turning around, all I can say is, "Damn arsonists."
Dream last night was normal, but vivid. Plenty of dream signs which I failed to notice, and unfortunately I can only remember fragments, not really sure about order or if they made up more than one dream. I was in a car park with C, a girl I used to like. I was happy to see her but she looked completely different to how she looks in reality. There was a large storm drain in the car park and it was raining heavily. E arrived aswell, another old crush. We walked out of the car park and into a glass bottomed boat, with bunk beds, many of my friends were their, but they were not friends who were usually seen together. Then we hopped of the boat and went to a monkey enclosure with wooden boats on the walls and fake rocks. People were hugging me and then I began to have a cycling race with some of my best friends but I was on my brothers bike, and the position was leant so far forward that I kept falling off. We cycled through an old barn and into a coastal town that looked like positano. I think I got the order right, the cycling part may have been a separate dream. Hopefully I will notice some of the dream signs next time. Note: I was listening to binaural beats on YouTube for the first time, something I am skeptical about, but I had abnormally vivid dreams and better than usual recall.
Really boring dream. I was in a shop where i used to go when i was a kid. However this shop had changed a lot lately. It was very big and had a lot of stuff, however people couldn't go to pick their stuff, they had to order to the employees. I went there because i needed yellow thread. One of the employees told me that they ran out of that thread, but that i could borrow his personal thread... so i took it. Then i thought "wow this place is really big. I wonder what stuff it has in there. In a dream i will find out" (very stupid of me since i was already in a dream). Later in the same dream, i was with my family in our house, and we invited a teacher to have dinner. Of course it was really awkward for me but the time went through. Then my granparents came in. They arrived from a trip and they said that they had a present. He went to the car and took a really big basketball, which he bought for $200. When we were on the street a kid offered him another basketball but smaller for the same ammount of money. However i noticed that when we were outside my house, it was actually the street of my grandparent...
