Okay, so I've had a couple interesting dreams since I've started work. My brain is too frazzled to remember which ones were on which days, so I'm lumping them together. All of the recent dreams that I remember involve videogames in some way.

One dream involved me playing Ocarina of Time, or at least it's supposed to be that. I'm running around in a primitive 3d environment just exploring, while explaining things to someone, probably my little brother. In this dream, I end up exploring and use a timed trap or something to an unseen purpose. The trap sets some sort of timer on you, and when it goes off you spontaneously get blown up, like you're holding a bomb, and you get knocked over. You're supposed to disarm this trap in a puzzle or something... instead I grab it and run to a jump that's just a bit too far for Link to make it. I time it so that the explosion goes off in mid-air, giving me the last bit of propulsion to reach the far ledge. I explain that this game handles sequence-breaking poorly, with random glitches and freezes. (In reality, it's quite complacent and stable... speedrunners rely on this.) The game freezes, and I mention that at least it's never been known to delete a save... when I load it back up and select my save, as if I tempted the gods of Irony, my character is back at the beginning of the game. (And now it looks like Link to the Past. But whatever...) I'm kinda upset by this, to say the least.

The other dream is harder to explain. The game I remember playing is some sort of mix between Elona and Dwarf Fortress. There are a bunch of different "levels" with objectives that have to be completed to reach the end (something that isn't in either game, but hey). I recall that there are three different difficulties, and to have a win at a certain difficulty, all the parts have to be done at the same difficulty. There's also an "extra" difficulty, which makes it a lot harder but has a unique map different from the standard ones. Each section unlocks that after you beat it normally.

Anyways, the main bit I actually remember is there are some bosses to be dealt with, longstanding ones in terms of the plot, and we enter a huge area to try to take them on. It's supposed to be a big confrontation. But the game just kinda stalls out and freezes, refusing to finish loading the area. I guess it was TOO big. I had my character on the screen at this point, but I couldn't do anything with him. So, I end the game with task manager and restart it. Getting back to that point, it freezes even sooner. I suppose it's unstable from crashing in the middle of loading. This time I can look at the parts of the map that did load, and the perspective shifts over to almost all Dwarf Fortress, ascii style. And I see why the computer is struggling -- this map goes hundreds of floors up, like any good dwarven megaproject. One of the guys we were supposed to defeat would have been right at the top, and to get to him we would have had to climb countless stairs and defeat countless lackeys. It would have been a good final confrontation... oh well. That's all I remember for now.

#1 - What Is This Game!? [DILD]

I was going to see my old, old friend from day care, CC, at high school (I did actually know him for that long, too). We were in my old junior and senior year history teacher's class, but the whole thing was being treated like college. I asked him if that was his class and he said no, so I just wandered out and started walking through the hallways alone. I don't remember this part very well but people were apparently playing some game everywhere in the classrooms I was walking through, because just as I was becoming lucid I half-yelled "What is this game!?", jokingly, and some guy tried to tell me about how in manga they're always eating food. Some really attractive girl started trying to say something to me too but I had other things in mind, so I just hugged her and then kept moving along, but the sensation had been too vivid... the rush was causing the dream to collapse. I tried to stop it as usual, but it was too late and I woke up.

#2 - Back In Time [Non-Lucid]

I was with JRE and ET, and I somehow knew that we had gone back in time to what was technically I think my junior high school years, but we were treating it like senior high. He started out in some empty lab classroom and started messing around with stuff, though I don't recall what now, until some teacher got mad at us so we walked out into the hallway. There was the strangest sense of freedom here... everything was so vivid and clear and I had an underlying knowledge that none of my actions would have any consequences whatsoever. Essentially, I had everything that a lucid dream has except for the actual lucidity; I still believed everything around me to be real. One of JRE's old teachers saw him in the hall and yelled "An enemy!" in a joking manner, which JRE hesitated for at first but then laughed at when he realized what was going on. There was a very surreal feeling to the environment, and near a classroom I ran into this girl who looks absolutely NOTHING like my most recent college professor for a summer class I just finished, SJ, but I immediately recognized it as her and perceived her as just a younger version of herself, since we were back in time. She was thin and really attractive and had a curly blonde ponytail, and I was instantly smitten (of course). But before talking to her, we walked into the classroom and I saw EC, an old friend of mine who I haven't heard from in years. She asked us about our senior year and told us what she's been up to lately, claiming that she's "Japanese now". She then wanted to ask us more about our lives but her class was starting, so I made the excuse that I had to go and walked back out in the hallway to meet up with SJ, abandoning JRE and ET. Even though I had no idea who SJ was before this past summer class, she somehow recognized me as I approached her, even as a student from her future class, and said that I "look much better without the robot head", or something like that. Apparently she was headed to a theater class, and she invited me to come see a "play on words" (I didn't catch that until I woke up and was writing it down ) that they were going to be performing. Still consequence-free, I leapt up on to her back and latched on tight, and she carried me to the class. When we got there I playfully told her that I wasn't going to let go, and she said "You have to!" (or something like that) and I say "Nope, I'll come off easily, but I'm not letting go." She barely brushes me back, and I make a joking breathy "oooooh" sound as I slowly fall off her back and into a nearby chair. She gives me an amused smile and goes to get ready to perform. >w< I just waited their for her class to start from that point on, but soon the dream ended and I woke up.

Ok, woke from dream but soon realised that dream was pointing to a dream syncronicity target.

So, I will record dream on my flicker account when I take target photo (1)

Then when the games begin in the spring I'll have the first target (...)

See post 44 on WakingNomad's thread called "I see a bunch of BS"

The dream briefly:

I get off bus in a suburb. I strain my eyes a bit to see further than the (visual) horizon. As I try to see further than I naturally can, I see the sea beyond the town.

Once I get a focus on the sea it comes closer or I get physically to the sea.

Now I walking on low sand dunes looking at a deep blue ocean. It's short waves are quite rough and choppy but there is no white.

Then I notice people in there. And some are coming out and some are going in so it aint rough at all. Looks can be decieving.

I pass SOMETHING (hahaha) the target.

The the darkblue, blue water surgess forward. Then a surges forward again. No one is afraid. I sit. It surgess again and I say to the swimers "the surging tide will stop there".

We all know it will stop at the target so there is no fear.

Then the dream changed and I felt sexy. (EoD).

WILD. I went from the house in the yard and made a bottle with poition on my palm. I was making the bottle until it had normal proportion. opened it and drank. It wasn't taste at aLLL!!!!! like yoghurt without taste. When i drank it i became smaller. Don't know how small. Then i flew and tried to came to red roses. They were big enough, but i couldn't because there was little wind. In fact i couldn't manage my flight very well, because there were some little wind and it took me away. I saw convolvulus floweres. The floweres were big and beautifful deep blew colour. i awoke and understood that in real that flowers are only 3-4 sm.

There was a new years party in london with freworks and everything, watched a video of fresh prince will smith doing stuff and turns out it was what uve done but with him just spliced in

I woke up early this morning and went back to sleep. I thought I woke up again, and was just laying in bed. All of a sudden, a voice came out of nowhere (sounded like the voice of Barney Stinson, which makes sense because I was watching How I Met Your Mother before I went to bed last night) and said "You're dreaming." I was immediately overwhelmed by excitement and realized the voice was right. I sprung up and stood (or maybe floated) on the bed. I was in a dark room, with no furniture or anything on the walls. I was about to spin around, but the dream quickly destabilized and I woke up.

First thing to note is that this dream took place from the view of my halfling in a friends D&D campaign.

I was (once again) female.

We were fighting some sort of weird giant mosquito thing outside of a cabin in a forest. We kill it. Someone is inside the house, it makes me angry, so I run in and break their arms.

Later our D&D characters are hanging out at a mall.

I was in some kind of building, in a dark corridor. I was aware that it was a place that my classmates used for resting. I was afraid that they would prank me by jumping out at a corner, so I turned the lights on, and asked if they are all right.

...

I was watching a sonic game that looked like minecraft, and it looked beautiful.

The minecraft kind of world slowly turned into a satellite like view of earth, and it looked absolutely amazing. The sattelite view started zooming in, and I was told that it's a part of America. It was some kind of island.

While it was zooming in, I was given a historic presentation about old America. I was told how they were using women only for reproducing, and how they were abusing them to no ends.

...

Then as it finally zoomed in completely, I was in some kind of camp where they were keeping these women, and I was one of the women they were keeping. I had to go to places, and I was given a knife by an african dude to cut pieces of my meat out from my hand. I saw a bunch of women sitting in a circle, all cutting out their meat. I was trying to avoid doing so by walking around randomly, but one of the men stopped me. He pointed to a location with his knife, and I had to go there.

I was given a pill as a reward for being obedient or something. It was called the "masturbation pill", or "sexual fullfillment pill".
As I took that pill, my body got sliced up into big colorful cell like things, and those cells started to float around in a circular motion. They started moving towards some kind of shack, as they were instructed to go there by the men. They drilled themselves into the shack like some kind of sperms.

...

I was having sleep paralysis, but it was a dream. (as lately, all of my sleep paralysis scenarios were actually dreams)
I was trying to find my real body. I shouted out with a weird sound. As long as I gave out that weird sound, I knew that I wasn't in real life, as I wouldn't give out weird noises like that in real life. I managed to wake up, and I had some kind of hallucination about the light switch being way far away in some kind of black space. But then that illusion dissolved, and I found the light switch, and turned it on.

i was in a beautiful woods and the colors were so vibrant and vivid that it made me lucid i saw an old castle and above the door was an ainchent name in some sort of astral writing so i went in and there was a kings throne and in the chair was me but i looked different and i had another version of the sword that i have in my room in waking life but it looked darker sharper and it was glowing with energy i went up to myself and i asked me who are you he said i am what used to be the you that was forgotten in the war against light and dark the you that died with the battle now i only live within the reccesses of your mind. I was shocked i siad but i dont remember you he said beacause he took your memory then he said "do you remember who you truly are the you from thousands of years ago the warrior you where meant to be" i said no then he said "you soon will remember so it is for told" then i got scared and said your only a dream character my imagination so if i want you to be gone you will be gone so i tried with all my will power to make him dissapear but he wouldnt he said "have you ever noticed lately in dreams and real life when you get angry you see little blue dots and streaks floating around you i paused and said yes then he just smiled and said we will meet again soon to discuss more about who you are now before you wake up i want to show you something. he touched my forehead and i wasnt dreaming i was vibratring very heavily and i shot out of my body i was astral projecting in my room and he was there and he said look in this portal then it showed up and i looked int it and a old earth was there and i was up at the top of the temple and there was an armys fighting then i ran down the side and killed both of them then he pulled me out and said that is all i can show you for now now go then he touch my forehead agian and i woke up.


plz post comments tons i want to know what you think of this plz

In which MCA is shot and I must give him emergency care...

I'm in a very fancy hostel with a white tiled common room. The walls are also white, there is a fountain in the middle of the room and there is a large mirror on one wall. In the back of the room are two doors, each leading to a locker-room type shower. I'm sitting on the couch chatting with the Beastie Boys' MCA.

I know I'm dreaming, but I'm not lucid. Throughout our conversation, I repeatedly tell MCA that we are both dreaming. He knows he is dreaming too. But we can't manipulate the dream, and the fact that we know we are dreaming doesn't change anything. It's just like knowing you are alive. You can look at someone and say, "We are alive" but that doesn't change anything about being alive. It's just a statement of fact. That's how it was in the dream.

MCA is telling me how he is going to die that evening. He says that someone is going to come into the hostel and shoot him. He's very calm about it and not at all afraid to die. He says it will happen as soon as I go to take a shower and leave him alone.

I respond that if this is true, that we can change the course of events. I tell him that I'll simply not take a shower, then the dream can't unfold as planned and he won't die. He is stoic about it. He says that he accepts that the dream must end with him dying and that there is no point in trying to change it. He says that he has come to the hostel just so that it will happen here and his wife and daughter won't have to see it. He says that if I refuse to leave for the shower, then he'll be forced to go home and get shot, and his daughter will have to watch him die.

He convinces me that I should leave the room and allow the dream to unfold. I'm really sorry about it, but I agree that it must be done. I go into the locker room type shower. I'm the only person in there so I can shower without embarrassment even though it is a group type shower. The whole time, I'm fighting the urge not to rush through and run back out into the hostel common room to save MCA. It's a hard thing to let someone die, and I just keep telling myself that it's only a dream anyway. When I step out of the shower, I look at myself in a full length mirror near the sink. Something is wrong. I notice that I have a penis and I wonder if it was there before. This can't be right, I think to myself. Even in a dream, this isn't right. I look in the mirror again, and the penis is gone. I'm starting to feel some relief about that when I hear a gun shot ringing from the common room. I quickly dress and then run back into the room to see MCA laying on the floor in a pool of blood. He's been shot in the stomach, but he's still breathing.

I run over to him and try to apply pressure to his wound to stop the flow of blood. A crowd is starting to enter the hostel, and they all gather around me and tell me to do something to save him. He is looking around, stunned and scared and in pain. I can't stop the bleeding. My professor and my step-mother are both there. They tell me I need to calculate his cardiac output. I try to think about the loss of blood volume and whether or not the heart would speed up or slow down to compensate. Would the force of contraction increase or decrease? I can't remember, and I feel a lot of pressure to act quickly. I keep getting confused about blood osmolarity and blood pressure. More people are around us in a circle. Some are shouting at me that I'm not working fast enough. Others are crying because he is dying.

I realize that it is hopeless to try to save him, so instead I just focus on making him comfortable. Now his head is in my lap and I'm holding his hand. He is losing a lot of blood, and he looks scared. I know he will die in another minute or two, and he knows it too. He looks at me and I say, "Adam, it's OK. This is only a dream, remember?" He smiles and dies.

I stand up and notice in the large mirror that I am covered in blood. I see Mike D standing nearby, and he tells me he is going to call MCA's wife and tell her he is dead. I tell him not to call her since this is only a dream. But Mike D says, "This isn't a dream. He's really dead."

Then I realize it's true, and I feel really guilty for not studying more for my last physiology test. If I understood more about osmolarity, I might have been able to save him.

Horrible recall today.

Wake 10:52 am then again at 1:20 pm. No recall upon 2nd awakening.

Dream 1(Fragment): upon waking the first time I jotted down these keywords then went back to sleep: Phone/DS, Unload, truck, management, Sherman, Alannah.

I'm at work and management is trying to find a person that works on 3rd shift. I have my walkie talkie so I hear Alannah, Sherman, and Halie talking but I can't recall what was said. Sherman is unloading one truck and I'm further back in the room and there is another truck there(inside the building). I remember playing my DS but when i'm done with it I slide it into my phone case. I also remember switching the game that was in it.

I remember more happened but I can't remember details. I wake up, jot those words down, then back to sleep. Then no more dreams

I am going in a train on a hill station. My college friend- Pooja and Nivedha are there as well. The train driver, who is also like a professor talks about agriculture on the mountains. And pooja asks the different types of agriculture. I list them down from horticulture to apiculture. In the dream she and I are always competing and I beat her in this. She gets impressed. We hug. I feel her hands around me, her head on my chest. And I hug her, I can feel her body gently touching mine.

I wake up and then I realise I am actually in another train and I am laughing like anything. And seeing this, others laugh as well. *can't remember*

I then wake up again to realise that I am in a train full of stinking hindi locals. I am all disgusted and I sit in a corner. I can see them sitting in the train without shirt and the blue seat of the Indian railways.

I wake up again to find that I am finally in reality!!!

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

The second dream about the anime drawing .

I was at an indoor park, which I have been to twice before in other dreams. I saw a huge yellow tube, which led to a very high platform. My sister climbed up the verticle tube, then I looked up inside it. My stomach went and I instantly thought "NOPE." Never in my life and I enjoyed heights. I kept attempting but just failed to find any courage. I remembered I had the anime woman on a key ring, so I looked at it and walked around.

The first dream with the drawing can be found here.
You can read the third here.

Dream One(Fragment): The dream starts out with me in a house at a door in the kitchen. For some reason there are two mirrors in the corner so they mirror one another. There's a blonde man standing near the mirrors, and I am standing on the other side of the door watching as people come inside. There is a set of twin boys, probably teens, there's a woman with dark hair cut short in a bob, and then a couple other men with beards that walk in. I get the feeling that the Blonde guy is standing in front of the mirrors to block them, but it doesn't work, and the Dark haired girl looks into the mirrors anyways. I notice that she is only reflected in one mirror, and in the other mirror only objects are reflected, but not the woman herself as if she were a vampire or something. We all go into the living room of this house and start talking. I can't remember what happened from there, but my notes say "Hitting Truck, Baby, Table" I just can't remember what they mean >.<

Dream Two: I'm at my dad's family's lake cabin. We're actually not near the cabin though, but on the vacant lot beside it. There is a man with long dark hair dressed in all black and two women also dressed in all black standing there. The women are hanging all over him like they're both his girlfriends or something. The man is some sort of leader of a cult, and he's asking me to join. I tell him no way, he may be my friend but I'm not stupid enough to believe something just because someone I know says it. I have my own unique beliefs and they don't jive with his. All the same, I ask him if they'd like to hang out as long as they stop trying to convert me. They say they're not allowed to go on the property near the water, and I feel kind of sad because I was looking forwards to hanging out.

Dream Three: I'm turning onto a road and find that my steering seems stiff. Suddenly my check engine light comes on, and I find that I'm having trouble steering. The car cuts off, and I somehow end up steering the car downhill and into a gas station. I look at the light son my dash, and it actually says "Needs Power Steering Fluid" so I get out of the car and go inside the gas station to buy some power steering fluid. A little girl around 8 or so with long sandy blond hair asks if she can help me pour it in, but I tell her I've got it. I pop the hood of the car and start to look for where to pour it in. I start to pour it into a white tube, only I stop because I realize that's where the antifreeze goes. I cap that back, and my husband comes up behind me and starts fussing at me for trying to put the fluid in the wrong place. I tell him I've got it, I can figure this out, but he keeps arguing that I'm not doing it right and I need to just give it to him before I waste it all. Then he pours it into the right tube, and uses the whole bottle, then complains that it shouldn't have taken that much and I must have wasted half the bottle. I look into the tube for some reason, and I see a bunch of floating plastic bottles in the tank, and question it. My husband replies that I should know what they're for and goes into some bs explanation about the bottles being the indicator that the tank is full or empty.

Dream Four: I'm sitting on a box at the end of a mattress. On the mattress is my bi friend M. She's talking to me, and as usual I'm pretty overcome by how outgoing and carefree she is, to the point I'm almost jealous. She pulls back the covers on the mattress and I climb into the bed with her. She asks me why i look sad, and I tell her about how I wish I were more outgoing like her. She seems to make friends so easily, and she doesn't seem to care what others think of her. Then we start talking about how to lose inhibitions and I wake up before I can actually hear her advice.

Dream Five(Fragment): All can remember of this one is that there was a giant circus tent, and I was inside with Shiro from Deadman Wonderland. I feel like I'm baby sitting her. The whole floor is a trampoline, and she's jumping up and down and doing flips while squealing and laughing. At some point we find a small tent pitched inside the giant tent, and Shiro reasons that the tent must leak, why else would the tent be pitched inside another tent? She then goes on to pretend it's a club house and I'm not part of her club, so she climbs in the tent and sticks her tongue out at me. Then I wake up.
