All DJ Entries

The first thing I remember about my dream was that my best friend and I were in this huge canyon in this river. The water was really murky. I looked over at her and I shouted to warn her that two crocodiles were surrounding her. They were not moving at that point, but once I warned her, they started thrashing. So I swam onto the closest shore while my friends swam across the river to the other side. There was barely any shore though becuase at the edge of the waterliine was the wall of the canyon. So, I tried to climb it to get away from the crocodiles which later turned into sharks. I escaped, but I forgot to check if my friend did too! I then was in this weird city looking thing, but it reminded me of a videogame because I had a quest and there was a little arrow in the air pointing to my destination. My quest was to find my brother's book before he does...so I go looking for it, but the arrow disappears, so I'm all alone. The city then turns into Barnes&Noble and I'm frantically looking for this book. For some reason, I then change my mind to want to find a Hunger Games book and I did Barnes&Noble then turns into this school with a bunch of kids in it, and I felt like I was inside of this really corny movie about I guess Middle School romance? I have no idea.... But there were a bunch of love triangles and fights and then at the end almost everyone made up.. I have no idea why I dreamt that. The end of that scene took place in a courtyard outside. Across the courtyard I see the most beautiful modern day castle I have every seen! It was huge, and i told my friend that I would love to live in one of the really high towers. I then realized my brother works there... I go inside and my best friend was there! I looked into the doorway and my best friend's uncle (in the dream) was chained up to be beheaded... Then he mysteriously came back to life and told us that we were going to do great in life.I appeared in my room at this point. I remember looking at this card with a saying on it that said something like "The vampire that looks at this will be dreaming." or something like that. And then I remember questioning reality and doing the nose-plug RC and being able to breathe!!! (Btw, I've read other DJs where people say that they love doing the nose-plug check becuase the sensation of breathing while plugging your nose is really cool. I never understood that until last night. It was pretty cool) But the thing with this lucid dream was that I thought I had been awake and that by my reading the card I had fallen asleep! So my lucid dream within a non-lucid dream felt REALLY unstable and I remember vividness was TERRIBLE! I kept rubbing my hand, but nothing worked! I summoned a door in my window but it kept leading outside; I didn't want to jump out the window. I could tell I wasn't very aware of things because there was a huge flagpole outside my window that is not there in RC and if I was truly aware, I would know that I could just jump out. I turned around and tried summoning another door to a beach, but "woke up" standing in the middle of my room. I did a reality check, but I couldn't breathe through my nose! So, I reread the card and the reality check worked! But the dream was even worse than before, and I "woke up" standing in my room again. It was really annoying because my main dream, or the non lucid part was really stable and clear! But just because I thought I fell asleep in my dream, it made it really foggy.

Haunted House

Other dreams I had of this Haunted House later: Haunted House

I was with one or two friends in a house. I don't know what was going on. Somehow the house was haunted. I left the house and drove away.

A friend was watching us leave as though from the computer. Perhaps I dreamed that part because I was on video conference last night.

I went through the city that this friend lived in, and that I recognized as "The Springs" and then remembered more clearly as "Altamont Springs," an actual place in Florida. I was seeing this in 3rd person perspective.

Then I started going through the down town area. It was like a five-way intersection. There was a festive atmosphere as though it was a tight-knit community.

Dream Skip

I'm back at the haunted house. I'm with my friend--I think it is MJ. We are going back to get something out of a room that we had locked up.

We had to go into a room, then go up a couple steps to open a small door in the back of that room and unlock a sliding lock.

Neither of us wanted to be the first one to go because it was scary. We were running to get this done as though the sooner we could do what we were doing, the better chance we had that the haunting would not have started, but I was afraid, so I slowed down so MJ could run ahead of me. He slowed down too.

Some how, he ended up going first. I had locked the place down, so he should be the one to open it back up.

We got in the building, and I heard my FC T.M. over an intercom saying that we needed to hurry and put in the alarm code or we would hear the most unpleasant sound we'd ever heard. He said they knew how to make the experience very unpleasant.

I put my fingers in my ears, then I started worrying about a smell that would be horrible and dangerous. It would be part of the haunting.

One of us opened the door to the room we were trying to get into. There was a small refrigerator and something in front of it blocking access. Dream logic made me have to go to the back of the room to open a door and unlock that sliding lock to get what we came back for.

I didn't want to go in there because the evil spirit was in this room. I explained how to unlock it, and I got closer to doing it myself, but I never did, nor do I think he actually did it.

Now we were back to the refrigerator. There as a six-pack of ginger-beer. We had to get them out of the frige and leave quickly.

I was afraid of a green fog that was going to fill the room. It was going to be like an evil gas preceding the spirit that was going to come get us.

My friend finally got the door to the frige opened. He was having trouble getting the sodas. Should he get the whole six pack which would be kind of awkward? Just throw them to me one by one I told him.

He started to, but now we were ready to leave. We ran out and went around a culdesac in the neighborhood. There was a guy with a camera threatening to take pictures of us for doing something illegal. I was afraid, but there was nothing I could do.

We went around the culdesac and he started taking pictures, but as we left, it wasn't such a big deal.

Lion

A lion trainer let me get near a lioness. We were walking up a flight of stairs and it came up to me. I didn't really feel it, but it rubbed up against me and went all around me. At one point it got on my back.

At that point, I felt extremely vulnerable, as though it could turn not so happy to be near me and kill me. It got down and stayed very close to me.

The night before, I'd been chatting with a DV member about cats and how much we love them rubbing up against us.

February 19, 2012
I had a tough time getting to sleep last night and couldn't remember any of my dreams when I woke up :/.

Yesterday I bought the dream inducer app thing that plays binural beats as you fall asleep. A lot of people have said it works great so I think I am going to try it tonight. I attempted last night but I kept getting disturbed as I was falling asleep so I gave up.

I crashed last night at around 9:30 and woke up feeling sick at 6AM (sick like a medicine hangover). I know I had a lot of dreams during that time, and some were even pleasant, but I've forgotten them thanks to the last dream/s I had.

I don't recall where the dream began exactly, but I think I was at a table. Zee's friends Katie and Brittany were beside me. I told Katie I needed my iPad back and she said she didn't have it anymore and she would explain later. I told her she would explain NOW. She told me she sold it on eBay and I became infuriated. She kept trying to get me to keep my voice down (though I wasn't yelling), but I marched right over to her mother and told her that her daughter stole my iPad and I expected it back.
Even though I was worried Katie would tell on me for teaching her about scratch tattoos and sharing smokes with her, I had to speak my mind. I was sick and tired of people stealing from me.
My hubby was nearby and he told me he was disappointed in me. But then later in the dream he was proud for me sticking up for myself.

Then the dream changed or merged into another one. I was sitting in theater style seating. I was close to the bottom with Katie. I confronted her on her purchases. I found where she had bought a book "Studies in the Scriptures" that was written in Spanish. I called her a fool (she spent $90.) because I could get one for free at the local Kingdom Hall. I told her I expected every single penny back and whatever else it took to replace my iPad.

Then she made the mistake of mentioning Zee. I told her she would NEVER see or speak to Zee again. I further said I would sooner send my daughter into Foster Care then to have the two of them anywhere near each other. Which made Katie very upset. But then it wasn't Katie anymore but a random DC. She told me I didn't know what I was talking about- that the book was from HER religion and she showed me what the title actually translated to. I told her I apologized for my mistake, but it didn't change the fact I was going to the police and getting a warrant for her eBay account.

At that point, a JW woman I love dearly- a woman who I've only heard raise her voice once IRL, she's that soft spoken- stood up and told me to get my ass out of there. It was only then that I realized I had been making a scene. I turned around and saw my p-doc in the audience.

I was so upset[ furious], that he followed behind me to see me home. Of course, my house was thoroughly disgusting. My kids were little and I asked who last had bathroom duty, because odds and ends needed done. It wasn't that bad though. The bed was gross though and my p-doc said he wouldn't lay in it anytime soon if he were I- but he was commenting more on its stability than anything else.
There was a strange container in the bathroom that interested both of us. It looked a little like a more flattened shaped genie lamp. He lost interest and stepped out of the room. I managed to get it open and there was silver creamy stuff in it. I smelled it and it got on my nose.
He said he worries about me. I wiped it off my nose, but he wanted me to sit down so he could properly wash it off.

My house was 2-storied and one of my kids (not a real kid) was exceptionally small. He was walking down the stairs with my doctor and I. The kid was near tears and I asked what was wrong. He wouldn't say. I asked if he would tell just me and he nodded his head. We disappeared into some other room and the little one said he felt like the Doctor was trying to get rid of him just like his dad and step-dad. He thought my p-doc was trying to spend time alone with me but I pointed out that the little one had never been asked to leave.

At some point during all the iPad drama, Zee showed up. I briefly told her everything that had happened as well as my threat to send her to Foster Care. She wasn't angry at me, but gave me a hug intead and said something along the lines of "poor mommy".


I know how all of the first part of the dream came about. While visiting Zee, she said we had to start family counseling soon and I would be very angry to learn half of the stuff she either didn't tell me or lied about. I told her I could guess some of it and that I was still angry about my iPod. She asked if I knew the truth and I said no, but I've guessed she sold it for drugs. She told me then that she was at a drug dealer's house taking care of his baby, who was crying. She had just gotten her cellphone from her friend so she was doubly distracted and forgot it there. Her friend then left state and she didn't know the apartment number of the dealers house. By the time she saw them again, they had already gotten rid of it

When I got home, Katie, Brittany and Anthony showed up at my door. They all crowded into my bedroom. The make pretenses for a good 20 minutes then ask for a smoke. Unfortunately, I'm one of the neighborhood's "cool" moms. I told them I wouldn't be doing it much longer because I was quitting. Then we talked about e-cigs for a while. Then Brittany told me about a scratch tattoo she gave herself and I called her an idiot because she cut much too deeply and she only succeeded in giving herself an ugly scar. So then I felt compelled to educate her on how to properly do it.
I usually hid from Zee's crew when they come over. I hate being the cool mom. At first, I only gave smokes to kids after I spoke to their parents to make sure it was okay. But then those kids would just give them to the other kids so I figure why try to keep up with what's what.

In the first part of the dream, my hubby was disappointed in me because I had been stupid enough to let someone borrow my iPad to begin with. But then he was proud of me speaking my mind because I'm naturally passive.
I'm not sure about the symbolism behind being in theater seating and having an "audience". The Witness was there because I've been thinking about returning and they've all been on my mind lately.

As for the second dream... I really have no clue about any of it. My house has always been the bane of my existence, but I also fell asleep thinking of ways to rearrange and decorate my room.
The cream I got on my nose represented Silver Nitrate.

I've now been typing this for almost an hour. TIme to eat...

Rare outfit

I'm some place in a building. A guy has bought a new outfit from some other guy for a cheap price, and I start going "Dude! That's like the most expensive outfit you can get, and it's only one of that outfit in the world!" and also a friend of mine is convinced that it's really expensive clothes. They're blue pants with a red shirt with darker red stripes. The owner of the clothes says he sells it to anyone who bids higher, and first some guy says 100 bucks, and the seller proceeds to say "Alright, nobody else wants it?" and then I shout that I give 10,000 for it, and then someone else shouts they give more for it, and the bidding round just goes on.

Whale rock

I'm on a beach with a lot of other people. We're told some random fact like "Every year 51 kids die because of guns and hide" or something random like that. The message is trying to make is sympathize with something, but I don't understand the meaning, and my twin brother doesn't really care. At the beach, I see a guy throwing out a frees-bee to a dog swimming, and I think that's the message meant that it was dogs that died because on catch and run. In the water, there's a lot of fish, and my brother tells me to let the fish swim around you because it's really funny. I jump towards the deeper and I see there's a toad in the water on the stone, and I avoid to jump on that stone, so I don't stomp the toad. Then I see a rock on the water that is floating. It kind of looks like a whale, so I am really fascinated by it. I drag it towards a group of friends I see sitting in the water and talking. I put the rock next to a friend who does not see it, and tells him to look to the right, he quickly does, and gets really scared, by screaming loud. I can't stop laughing, but the friends in the group didn't seem to notice. The friend I just scared decides to move to another place, so I sit next to another friend. I explain him and show him what happened, and then we all start laughing.

I arrive at a camping center, this happens a lot in my dreams, and get a room in the main building. Some of my friends apparently get a room in the second building. There are at least three floors, with the dining room in the lowest floor. We have dinner and they give us something to do while eating, but i listen to a podcast from my mp3 player and ignore it. On the first evening most people go out in the city. The dream jumps a bit and I'm walking back towards the camping center.

I have some candy in my packbag, but probably should have bought some more from the city, since I have some friends at the camp. I'm in a common room now, and one of the campers has met a girl named Mily. I find out that she is a friend of two girls we met last year, Lily and Vily. Me and my two friends get exited about meeting them, but I come to think that the others don't know them and might feel left out, so I try to keep quiet.

T has something to show me and we go outside. We look trough the window and see the others in the dining room building some electronic equipment while their eating. They are using the campers as free labor. I think it's weird that they let me just listen to the podcasts while eating, but T thinks it would arouse suspicion if they forced everybody to work. This doesn't bother me that much, though, they just should have told us.

Apparently it's time to leave, although I feel like it should still be several hours. Everyone else is already on the bus and I go to my room and take my bag. I go to the bus, where my friends are waiting, and notice that, according to the schedule, it's still a three hours before the bus leaves. I wake up now, and I'm right, I still have a couple of hours to sleep.

all the LD i was in my flat and tried to enter the pictures on the wall - not succeful. I jumped in the picture and found myself in the room again. Only once i jumped into the piture with the new year tree and felt something like girland in my hand.

DreamLucidAwake

Once again I didn't daydream about anything in particular. I just wanted to become lucid. That may have influenced the last dream. It's also possible that I may have had spiders on my mind at one point.

Tunnel of Spiders

I'm really not sure how to describe this dreamscape. I guess it was sort of like a Colorado dessert with all of the giant rocks and crap. I was walking around the lower area of a mountain with Claire. We were walking along a set of railroad tracks for some time just talking about something. It was probably something important that I really wanted to know. Somewhere in this I either became lucid because of the conversation or because I remembered Claire is a dream guide.

The tracks led towards a tunnel that was blocked by some really tough spider webs. There was a small cave to our left with a huge brown spider standing in it. Not really huge, but it was like bigger than my foot. It just sat there watching our every move.

Claire pointed her sword at it and said, "Go kill it."
"What? Why?" I asked.
"Those webs won't disappear unless it dies." She said.
"Why do I have to do it though?" I asked her.
"Because you're dragonborn!" She yelled.
"There is no way I'm dealing with anymore dream spiders!" I shouted.

As I said this the spider from the cave behind me started running towards me. My danger sense alerted me and I started running from it. I kept running in circles as it kept trying to bite my ass. Claire nearly killed me a few times while trying to slash it with her sword. Eventually the spider did jump on me. I grabbed it and threw it on the ground before it could bite me. Claire then stabbed it with her sword repeatedly until the spider stopped twitching. I crawled onto the ground and curled into a ball.

"I hate spiders, I hate spiders, I hate spiders..." I kept repeating.
"Don't be such a baby." Claire said.
"It tried to eat me!" I screamed.
"Get off the ground already. We have a job to do." She ordered me.

As I got up, I heard a rumbling sound. I looked down the tracks and saw a train coming. The train slowed down until it stopped in front of the tunnel. Chris stuck his head out the window and waved to us. Apparently he was driving the train.

"All aboard!" Chris yelled to us.
"What's with the train?" I asked him.
"You want to make it through the tunnel alive don't you?" He asked me.

Claire climbed the ladder onto the top of the train and I followed her. Once I reached the top, the train blew its whistle and started moving again. As It moved towards the tunnel I saw hundreds and hundreds of those giant brown spiders along the tunnel ways.

"Oh F***..." I said staring at all of them.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine." Claire said trying to build my confidence.
"Nope, I'm out of here." I said walking back towards the caboose.

Claire grabbed my hand and pulled me back. She then forced me into a battle stance as the train went into the tunnel. Claire started charging her lightning magic in her one hand to create a light source. I could now see thousands of spiders swarming around the tunnel. A few of them tried jumping at Claire, but she slashed them with her sword. A few of them jumped at me and I just slapped them away. My heart was racing and I couldn't really think clearly out of fear. 10 or more of them soon surrounded me in my confusion. Claire then jumped between me and them and started defending me. Each time one tried to jump at me she would rush in and slash it with her sword.

"Calm down, I won't let anything bad happen to you." Claire told me.
"Okay." I said.

Seeing her slash spiders to pieces and saying that to me calmed me down some. I could still only punch and slap spiders though. I wasn't thinking about using any of my powers. Claire did a really awesome move with her lightning. She threw a ball of lightning at some spiders and it exploded into bunch of lightning bolts that killed many spiders.I looked at Claire and saw that she was getting exhausted. An extra big one snuck behind her an jumped at her. She turned around and tried to slash it, but she was too late. It held her down and started clawing at her (these spiders had claws).

This really angered me and I gave myself dragon hands. I gripped the spider's stomach with my claws and lifted it off of Claire. I ripped the spider's stomach open and threw it off of the train. Claires blood seemed to have attracted hundreds of other spiders who were previously docile. I tried to get Claire back up, but she could barely move. As the spiders moved closer I realized it was up to me to protect her this time.

I stood above Claire and created a shield of fire around us. It burned every spider that touched it, but they were starting to overpower it. I was really starting to struggle to keep the shield up. Claire then started to wake up a little.

"Release your fury..." She said.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Do it." She said before passing out again.

I really started to get angrier at this point and sort of understood what she meant. My whole body started glowing with a purple energy and my fire shield grew more poweful. I slowly let this power build up inside me. When it was full, I let out a powerful draconic roar and shot the flames out in both directions. I felt much more calm and relaxed after releasing my fury. Unfortunately this was a really long tunnel and there was another wave of spiders coming. I looked down at Claire to see how she was doing. She was more awake now and she took a drink of what looked like a healing potion. Her cuts started to heal and she sat up. She wasn't capable of standing anymore though, so I still had to fight alone.

I suddenly remembered Neji from Naruto using the 16 triagrams 128 palm thing on over a hundred spiders. I decided to mimic this with my fire element. I charged fire magic into my hands and got into the stance. All of the spiders started swarming in towards me. I rappidly hit all of them with my fire hands while circling around Claire. My main goal until we got out of the tunnel was to protect her. A bunch of them then jumped at me from all angles. I spun around and created a wave of fire in all directions to kill them. After all of this the train finally exited the tunnel. After getting a good distance away from the tunnel, Chris stopped the train.

I carried Claire on my back and climbed down the ladder. I walked to the front of the train to see what all of this trouble was worth. In the distance from the mountain I could see a bunch of floating islands. They were hidden in the clouds and had a bunch of dragons flying around them. I got too excited after this and woke up.

Flying Over Stormreach

A pretty short lucid dream (because I forgot most of it). I had just grown dragon wings and was flying above the ocean. I was flying towards Stormreach's harbor off in the distance. I flew over the city and was amazed by it. Some general guy then started yelling at me something about having to go one a mission with a bunch of other soldiers. I just ignored him and went looking for some friends to quest with instead. I flew over a gate and landed in a street. I saw a horse carriage running full speed down the street at some guy who wasn't paying attention. For some reason I recognized this guy as Colton/Coolb3rt. I jumped in and grabbed Colton. I used my shadow magic to turn both of us into shadows so that we would phase through the carriage. I know a lot more happened in this dream, but I just can't seem to remember.

A Lucid Contract

I was in a school like place called the "Lucid Academy". I most likely became lucid due to the name of the place. For the most part it looked like a normal highschool, but you would see kids practicing magic, summoning things, and flying all over the place. I was walking down the hall and talking to Chris about something before we bumped into some girl. She looked completely confused about everything that was happening.

"Where am I? What's happening here?" She asked.
"You're dreaming." I told her.
"I am?"
"This is the Lucid Academy." Chris told her.
"I don't want to lucid dream!" She yelled.
"What? Why wouldn't you want to lucid dream?" Chris asked.
"Because it's scary!" She said.
"Okay, let's get this straight. In a lucid dream you can do ANYTHING you want!" I said.
"Yeah, it's really fun." Chris said.

Chris then summoned a large piece of paper. He mentioned something about signing a "lucid contract" and training the girl. Oddly he wasn't going to sign it, but wanted me and the girl to sign it. He handed me the blank paper and a marker to sign. I handed it back to Chris and he examined it as if he was checking to see if it was legitimate. I watched the girl write her name on it. It was hard for me to read, but I think it was either Carly or Molly written on it. She handed it back to Chris and he examined it again.

"Alright, it's official! You will make her become lucid every night from now on." Chris said.
"Wait what?" I asked confused.
"Oh you didn't know?" Chris asked me.
There was a long pause before I asked the girl, "So are you lucid yet?"

She just sat there motionless wiith a blank expressionless stare. I waved my hand in front of her face to try to get her attention. With no response I could only assume she woke up or something.

"I don't do that everytime I wake up do I?" I asked Chris.

He laughed, but didn't give me a clear response. I spent the last minute of the dream trying to get the girl's attention.

End

Dream 2/14
I was on 4th ave changing clothes in this little alcove, getting ready to go out for a night. I had a new pair of shorts and when I put them on I was disappointed to see that there was a larger spot of grease (I thought it was brake fluid) on one leg already. When I took them off I realized it was a boil on my thigh that had popped and drained its pus. I messed with it but it seemed to be all drained. Friends were impatiently awaiting me somewhere I knew, but I decided that getting drunk didn’t sound too great, so I decided to leave, (this area was the Arcosanti commune like I noticed).

And so I walked into the night, and trudged up this dirty road with half finished construction of downtown Tucson on all sides. I was looking for a place to park, even though I was on foot, and as I started walking towards a good spot I noticed a sign wired to a chain-link that said “parking $5” and a guy approaching me ready to collect so I spun on my heal like Bo-Jangles and walked off. Then I realized I was close to my old shop, and when I came to a new shop whose property line and fence blocked off the road, I climbed over it. Inside was a woman who’d come the other direction in her Prius, realized she was blocked, and decided to turn around. I felt that I could just pick up the road again once I crossed the property. It was a Caterpillar construction repair place, and the owner was still there even late at night, although it was now more like evening. I talked to him and a guy that reminded me of Carrot Top I listened to the owner describe the coming economic collapse set to occur “Monday” when the stock market re-opened. He used the term “pregnant market” to describe various problems. He went on to talk about how he was ready to weather any storm out here on the outskirts of Tucson. The red-head guy left to his small property nearby, and I said goodbye and that I was going to keep walking.

The sky was dark with thunderheads and as I walked past the last buildings into the sonorant desert, there was a flash of lightning. It also might have been my imagination flashing and illuminating this mountainside for what I remembered it as before the drought. It was steep, ascending up away from me into the clouds, and covered in pockets of green, (desert palm trees like in the Kofa Mountains).Then the reality returned and there was little green. But I could see a family of contemporary African foragers quickly running along a path skirting the side of the mountain. I walked quickly up and intersected them, and said hello to the parents but I made them nervous and so they just nodded and walked faster. I ended up in the back with their three kids, 10yrs or younger, all boys I think. The wind blew hard and it was difficult to keep my footing on the tiny deer paths in the grass that we followed. The youngest boy tripped and spilled his basket of raspberries everywhere, and they scrambled to collect them as the parents hurried on. I didn’t know what language to speak so hoping they’d know English or Spanish I yelled “Here! Here! Aqui! Aqui!” pointing to a huge berry them missed. The middle boy replied in his language which I didn’t understand but I took him to say “you can have it”.
We were now running through Cyprus trees that were thrashing in the wind, and the boy was having trouble getting up these huge wooden steps dug into the mountain going straight up. The steps were old and sticking up so they made you trip sometimes, and I took a minute to lever one up with a stick, and take out the obstruction that kept it from sitting flat. It was a thick book of childrens stories, one I used to have as a kid that was blue with a burgundy box around the gold lettered title (don’t remember what it was). I kept the book and showed the boy the best stride to take to move faster, and we ran on with no one else in sight. Soon we did get to his house, a hobbit house built into the mountain, and his mom who reminded me of a Kenyan friends mom greeted me and thanked me for helping her son (in English), and her husband was there lighting candles. Their house was huge and made of wood, with tree trunks hewn into rough rectangular pillars holding up the ceiling beams. George showed me to his library and was surprised that I had found the book, because he found copies of the same one up there all the time on the mountain, and collected them. The mother talked to me of their preparation for a resource war and how she was training her boys in martial arts.

Then the dream shifted and I was talking to my dad as I watched my relatives frolicking in their fields. And he was talking about his mom and how his side of the family tended to have excellent relationship skills, that they were such “superb halves of a relationship bubble, that when they found another half, they were set”.

2-18-12(non-lucid): So, I was in a zombie apocalypse...Except I was a zombie. The zombies in this apocalypse could think, and weren't necessarily grotesque. The ones that looked normal (except for a very bright silver iris) were the ones affected from the first outbreak of the disease. I was one of those. Anyway, so I was with a fellow zombie and we were in a neighborhood, searching for people. All the houses were empty though, I might have found a skeleton and gotten a flashback, but I don't know if that's my mind just trying to fill in for the boringness of going through houses. Then there were zombie hunters chasing after me, so I ran through a few houses and hid on the second floor of one house and I saw their truck pull up to the house and I ran down the stairs as fast as I could and ran out the back door. Then at the next house over a van pulled up with a woman in the back (who was human) and said she needed help rescuing her friends in the capital. I got in the van and Rajin was there and I was a zombie no longer and I got in the driver's seat and drove out of there. It was night (as usual) and I drove through a countryside, a bit of boring driving that I thankfully forget, and then we arrived in the city...which was overrun with zombies. In the outer parts of the city they didn't know they were dead and felt like voicing that. Quite a few were yelling with disbelief "I'm not dead! I can't be dead!" So we pretty much ignored them and ran towards a roman looking building. Here, in the heart of the city was a massacre. There was fire and zombies killing people. I turned towards the woman and said "They're probably dead by now." She didn't care though, she needed to see for herself. So, we all ran inside, machine guns drawn and these people came out of nowhere. I freaked and one yelled. "Don't shoot! We're not infected!" A group and I headed up the stairs and I thought "We can just go out the front entrance!" So I headed down to Rajin's group. He explained we couldn't because there were too many and he smiled a little scary and said we were heading for the boiler room, which could contain an entrance. He showed me a map, which it was downstairs...in the dark...with red alarm lights going off everywhere...which meant something was down there...He rolled up the map and said everything would be fine and then I woke up.

I'm trying to improve my recall, and this is the first long dream of the week;

I am in a (dream) house (dream, meaning random, something I haven't seen before), in some sort of sleepover with my sister and her children and some random people (about 8+ people).
(Insert dream memory here) We end up in some forest, this part is especially blurry, were in a circle I think, some random bum is talking weird, and mentions something about the green leafs having healing abilities, he had like a pot of boiling water with green leaves in it or something, it smelled funny (green leafs from an RPG game on my phone :p) and then said something important which I don't remember, kinda like "Also, never forget that..." <-- this is important as it affects my dream later on. I wake up.

I go back to sleep, I switch dreams, or remember a fragment from another one, I ended up in my English class, my English teacher is talking about dream recall, and saying how important it is to have a dream journal.. (lol) Anyways, I am in some bus and I have some sort of metal object in my hand that shines a laser light. Some guy in a suit walks in and sits down in the seat across from mine, he is looking for something, I feel a bit scared, as if I have the thing he is looking for. The guy in front of me, has a large orange object, I didn't look at it clearly, the guy in the suit has a large man following him (his body guard). He pulls out an FBI badge, and sort of announces it to everyone, "I am an FBI agent" he pulls out some paper and mentions about how he has the license to kill to solve cases, "he can kill me if he wanted to" I think in my head. (yes this is unreasonable) So then he says a few other things and his bodyguard sort of makes fun of him by saying "Sure, mr. Green" a reservoir dogs reference, dunno how it made sense in the dream, I point my laser at the orange thing object the person in front of me carried. (I forget what happens after this) I end up in a forest with a group of people, and we are all wounded. I am sort of limping forward through the forest, incredible worn out, wounded (and safe in my bed xD). It's all a bit blurry, I think I am either the least wounded, or something I end up ahead of the pack, them being about 50 meters behind me in the (colorful btw) forest. I have a flashback? I remember the bum talking about the green leafs being able to heal. To my right I see a bunch of neon colored plants, purple, pink, orange... and green! I limp to it, and turn around to tell the people behind me, I see one of them fall to the ground, I think, man he/she didn't make it, maybe I can go give that person some after I heal myself (I see the situation as a game, where you simply heal and recover from serious fatal damage). Then I see (there was 3 people) the other 2 people fall as well, I am scared. I see the FBI agent clearly (even though he was at a distance), he had his business clothes ripped, his shirt ripped to his shoulders, and his pants looked like shorts. He had something red in his hand, and was walking towards me, "this is it" I think, I thought he had a gun, but I later see it's a knife (lucky me). He walks towards me, and I limp away, my limp later turned into jogging, as I remembered that important thing that bum said to me in the previous dream (I don't remember) haha I know it was important, because it helps me run. I step into an industrialized urban city with grey like colors. I see the agent come towards me, and I think about what the bum said to me. I know think, "Should I run away? (because I healed?), or fight him and ask him what he means?" I knew he was a dream character that represented something, but I didn't know I was in a dream!!!. So I still feared for my life. He is but a few meters away from me, he starts doing some crazy Bruce Lee like things as a way of taunting me, yelling in karate yells. He has a shuriken-like weapon the size of my backpack and he uses it like a nunchuck. I think maybe I could fight him a little and then ask him, or I can ask him and then fight. Still concerned for my life I decided to simply ask him, and maybe he would go away. I point my finger at him and say, "What do you represent?", His voice distorts as he says (well it is calm/yelled/spoken at the same time) "(something something) the one that you want." I think he might have said I'm the one that you want but I can't be too sure, as he said that I noticed waking up.

my dream starts out future based sky is red and everything around me is either blown up or destroyed. I hear yelling and gunshots and figure out im in a war and the war is based on who will rule Earth us, humans or the species that we were fighting. i am geared out pretty well and what i see is us and those creatures in a big field crowded together jus fighting like theres no tomorrow in which this dream probably wasen't . the creatures were geared up like us also and i kept getting confused on who was who. but, anyways i get tired of bieng in a trench and run out and charge towards a creature and it charges towards me i pull out the blade i have with me and when we meet face to face i stabb it it seems very effective but i look down and there was a blade in me also my eyes get real big the creatures laughs and i look past it and war is going on and i shout out i did this for my uncle i dont know why tho my uncle has been dead for a couple of years know. i fall to the ground my vision gets blurry i still see the war going on i close finally close my eyes i wake up and its a beautiful morning day.....

Friday night, decided to go out.. wasn't worth it, recall suffered.

1:00am
6:30am

---------------------------------------------

Saturday night, I did remember a couple dreams, but I didn't write them down. I was imagining I was writing them though lol..

3:00am

Fragment: Me and some other people were looking around a city, I vaguely remember a fountain and multi-level carparks.

11:00am

1st Dream after setting intent. I sit in a windowless one room house. I like it. I get up to go outside. This one room little building is at the end of a paved path in the woods.

It is a friendly garden that I have fashioned into a natural woodland.

I turn again to my little one room building. I push the door open. I can see half the room and there is a 7 on the innerwall to my left.

Curious, I step into my room.

Behind the door is the other half of the little room and on that wall is a small number, (a digit) 2.

I wake.

It is now 11:01 am and I've been up a couple of hours.

You see, I set the intent to dream next Saturday's lotto draw 3193 and that was my only remembered dream. Last night I counted to 45 slowely Three times while watching and feeling the body go to sleep.

After a couple of hours thinking about the dream I think it was asking me to consider all fortyfive numbers as being made up of two halves of a whole. As in, say, the number one is not, (1) but, (0-1).

When the door is open only one side of the room is visible and the other half is not visible because it is behind the back of the door.

The number 72 is too big so I think the dream just used it as an example to get me to begin seeing all 45 numbers in two parts. One part visible on the left hand wall as I open the door and the other part as I step into the room and look at the right-hand wall behind the back of the door.

Still nothing special to tell about my recall, and I still haven't had the first lucid dream of 2012. I'm going to crank up the effort by having more consistent tries on WILDs. Meanwhile, the last dream from 2009 to enter in this journal.

Fear of Bodybuilders
Date: December 27th, 2009
Lucid: No

I was walking in what I thought was Helsinki, but it looked more like my hometown to be honest. Towards me there were these two guys walking, who looked like bodybuilders. I could have just gone by either side of them, but no, given that I was walking right in the middle of the sidewalk, I was stubborn and wouldn't budge - I was going to walk right between them.

You obviously already know that it isn't gonna end well. The right-sided guy, who had a moustache, had a wide, evil grin on his face as he grabbed me. I was fearing for my life, but the rational side of my mind also knew, that there would be no reason to kill me.

They pushed me around a bit before seemingly letting me go. But no, you don't think I would just walk away? No, I fuckin' flipped my finger at them! The guys were enraged and that seemed all the good enough reason for them to kill me. So I started running for my life, trusting that I can at least that well against those guys.

There was some kind of construction site next to me. The bodybuilders didn't waste time on chasing me, instead they just went there, picked up some tools and shit and started throwing it at me. Some were near misses, but I did get away unharmed.

Later I was in home and still terrified. I was afraid that the bodybuilders could somehow follow me there.
