    1. Worlds Collide

      Hyu
      , 02-15-2012 at 02:19 AM (Hyu's Adventures)
      It's been quite some time since my last DJ post.
      I'll try to be more active on DV again, and I'll probably post some of the dreams I had during my absence.


      Random music for no good reason:


      The day before this dream I had surgery on my foot.
      Nothing serious, but I still needed a massive bandage and pain meds for the healing process.
      This made it rather uncomfortable to sleep, and sure enough, after just ~6 hours of sleep I woke up.

      The pain wasn't bad as long as I didn't move... however that's exactly what I wanted to do.
      I must have slept in an awkward position because my left leg (where I've gotten surgery on) was very tired.
      I didn't want to move though, because I knew it would hurt.
      The pain meds were on my desk where I left them, out of reach without getting up.

      I just wanted to go back to sleep, but it just didn't seem to work.
      The strain on my left leg kept me awake, just barely... I kept drifting in and out of consciousness.
      This was coupled with random thoughts that didn't make much sense.

      I kept trying though, and after some time, in a brief moment of clarity, I noticed that I was feeling vibrations all over my body.
      I knew this feeling all too well, because it happens quite often when I attempt to WILD.
      I haven't done that in a while, but for some reason I thought that because of this I could now transition into a dream.
      (I wasn't really thinking clearly)

      I try to levitate out of bed as a means to separate my dream body from my physical body.
      At this point I can clearly feel the existence of both.
      It seems like the stronger the vibrations, the less I feel my physical body.
      Attempting to levitate seems safer to do, because I don't run the risk of moving my physical body.

      I slowly start to drift upwards.
      There is no more gravity and the blanket is gone.
      I land on my bed and start rubbing my hands in fear of loosing the dream.
      It is only then that I realize that I've just cheated my way into sleeping... sort of... well not really, but I'm asleep, that's all that counts.
      I check my foot and it's all normal. No bandages, nothing.

      It's rather dark. I was hoping rubbing my hands would fix this, but it didn't.
      I flick the light switch in my room, but nothing happens.
      Meh, would have been too easy.
      Afraid to see myself in bed I leave by jumping out of the window.
      (Seeing myself makes me uncomfortable and has woken me up in the past.)

      I land softly and walk into the street in the hopes of the dream being lit up by the streetlights.
      But it doesn't help.
      I don't want to wake up, I want to stay asleep as long as possible.
      This is why I'm afraid to try spinning, or use other techniques to change the scene... if I fail I could wake up.

      I rub my hands again.
      "Oh come-on, work already!"
      It doesn't.

      I try to make it rain with my mind, thinking it won't work because the dream is unstable. (dark)
      But for some reason it does.
      I feel the rain drops on my skin, and as the feeling becomes more intense, the dream finally becomes properly lit.

      (Rain has been an amazing tool to keep my dreams stable in the past. The constant feeling of raindrops keeps my senses focused in the dream)

      I decide to slowly walk through the street and see if I find something interesting.
      I'm too afraid to attempt to teleport somewhere else. If I mess it up and wake up there's no way I'll be able to fall back asleep.

      Suddenly, I realize that I have changed location.
      I am now in Germany, in front of a friends house.
      How did that happen?

      My friend C. comes out of the house.
      "Can't sleep either huh?"

      It's weird hearing him speak perfect English. We talk German with each-other in waking life.

      "What are you talking about? You're not making any sense, this is a dream."

      He looks confused but shrugs it off.

      "I have to show you something, follow me."

      I follow him into his room where he points at his tv.
      There's a newscast... something about another dimension merging with our's.
      It's rather confusing. It quickly becomes apparent that it's about the dream plane though.
      It is merging with the waking world.

      This confuses the hell out of me, I'm fully aware I'm dreaming, but the whole situation is built around being awake.
      Then I spot Faye on the couch. She makes me a sign to stay quiet, not to tell that I know about the dream plane.

      "Can you believe this? This is so weird! Do you have any idea what this is?"
      "Ehhh, haha, yeah... it is weird, isn't it?"

      Probably the most unconvincing thing I've said in my entire life.
      I wonder why Faye wants me to stay quiet about this...


      ... I am now at the location where the tv broadcast is occurring.
      It's in some sort of park, I don't think I know this place.
      There's some sort of spatial disturbance in the air, and I can see spirits from the dream plane trying to cross over.
      It's a rather surreal experience. (at this point I actually believe that this is really happening.)
      I try to spot Yuya on the other side in the hopes that she can cross over but I can't find her.

      My friend is there again, rambling a bunch of nonsense... that we're all going to die among other things.

      Spirits are now crossing over and materialize on our side. Some politicians have appeared and are greeting them,
      and welcoming them into our world.
      Other people are protesting the situation, waving signs with the word "Spirit" crossed out.


      "HEY!"
      "Faye!... What?"
      "Snap out of it!"

      The scene freezes, except for Faye and myself.
      She grabs my hand and drags me away.

      I realize that I drifted out of lucidity.

      "I thought you were trying to stay asleep, what the hell are you doing?"
      "Err... yeah. I nearly lost it there."
      " "nearly" huh? "

      We arrive at some sort of cafe and we stop at a table.
      Faye looks like she's about to scold me.

      "I know, I know... constant awareness."
      "That's right."
      "But it's difficult right now, I have an injury in the other life."
      "Excuses!"
      "Maybe..."

      A waiter brings us a coffee and Faye hands it to me.

      "Drink! This will help."

      I drink the coffee and it feels like the caffeine rushes directly into my head.
      I am now thinking clearly and my vision is perfectly fine even though it's still night.

      I walk down the street with Faye and we talk about a few things.
      She's trying to keep me asleep.
      After some time I realize a minor oddity.

      "So... technically I'm talking to myself right now eh?"
      "I've told you before, it's quite a bit more complicated than that."
      "That's quite an understatement. I know you've tried to explain it before, but I still don't really get it."
      "You have a good idea, that's enough."
      "But I want to know more."
      "You don't understand every detail of the universe either, yet it doesn't prevent you from living in it just fine."
      "It doesn't prevent me from trying to understand every last detail of it either."

      She smiles.

      The street abruptly ends. There's nothing but darkness behind it.
      I turn around. Darkness is catching up with us, there's maybe another 10 meters of street left.

      "End of the line Hyu."
      "Aww, I don't want to wake up."
      "It's alright, you've been asleep for a long time, it's nearly time to get up anyways."

      That makes me feel a lot better.

      "Bye bye, Hyunkell-san"
      I reply in a funny way:
      "Goodbye, dreamguide-o-saaan"

      She sticks her tongue out in a cute way and laughs.


      I wake up. It's been over 7 hours since I went to bed, so I decide to get up.
      To my surprise, moving my foot doesn't hurt nearly as a bad as I thought it would.
    2. Um so I was lucid.....

      by , 02-15-2012 at 02:17 AM (Tales from the sun chaser.)
      I remember the transition...falling through the bed....but I don't remember how the dream started out. I saw AR there, and I think I told her about being lucid. Also, we were stealing money from a building with people in lab coats on. She followed me around a lot in this dream, and I was kind of trying to lose her because I really wanted some plan B action. Not saying that she's not doable, but I guess I have a lot of respect for her. Anyways, ended up attempting to have sex on a 10 foot tall wooden fence....did not work out that well.

    3. Military men!

      , 02-15-2012 at 01:12 AM
      Me and a group of male people from my place of education were all dressed in military clothing and we was inside some kind of flying vehicle. One of them said something about an attractive woman and there were these weird flashes of where I live. A part of the vehicle opened up and we had to jump. I woke up before then.
    4. Dinner Out

      by , 02-15-2012 at 12:26 AM
      Last thing I remember was eating with her at a restaurant. Or at least ordering food. She wanted to pay me back for something earlier, so we went across the street to a store and she entered 20 dollars into one of those candy machines where you stick a quarter in and a handful of candy comes out. Only a handful of quarters came out and I had swallow them all. Not just quarters actually, but dimes, nickels and pennies. (Now I know why I woke up in a puddle of drool). We got help counting them, stacking little bits of plastic on top each other. When we were done, she began to guide me up the hill to my car. There was also an 8th of weed involved she helped me get but when I talked about smoking it she said she had work tomorrow. Something like that, I'm not remembering that part exactly right. It was more like... her excuse to stop us from hanging out more intimately in a setting where we would have sex. For some reason, I knew she had a boyfriend, but she wanted to be with me, perhaps angry because it was the day after Valentines Day and he fucked up.

      Anyway. My car wasn't at the top of a hill. We ended up walking and talking, just hanging out. We were on some scaffolding, not even. It was like a plastic layer of something we were walking on, and she started talking about some movie, talking about the stars in it. No, I brought up the stars, her point was about the shots taken of the city in that movie, and as she spoke of it, we looked through the gaps in whatever planks of red stuff we were standing on at the city below. She said everything looked so alive, and yet so tiny. Something broke, we had to climb up the planks to reach the sturdier foundation above. I remember what we were holding onto was connected by two steel hooks and wires, and I was trying to pull myself up in a way that wouldn't bend the wires. As I got up, I saw a girl with a red nametag and knew it meant she was part of some tour group I was familiar with. I asked her if she spoke english, she shook her head. I then asked if she played lacrosse, which I guess was an inside joke of mine. When I climbed up, I noticed it was daytime.

    5. Floating above the Earth and getting yanked back into my body.

      by , 02-14-2012 at 11:13 PM (Chronicles of the Cosmos)
      I remember having a dream where I was floating above the Earth without my body and I could see in panorama! As a matter of fact, I was able to see FAR better than I could while in my body and wearing glasses....... I was almost out of Earth's orbit when I got scared because I didn't know anything about space or where to go--and it felt cold. Then something yanked me ALL THE WAY back down to Earth, through the roof of my apartment, and smack dab into my body which was sleeping in bed. It fkn hurt! It really did.... I awoke immediately and I still felt the tingling sensations in my palms, fingers, legs, etc. from slamming into my body. It took a few minutes for the sensations to go away completely. I'm surprised it didn't kill me, lol.....

    6. 2nd Lucid Dream Feb 13, 2012

      by , 02-14-2012 at 09:43 PM
      I am in a classroom on a bed listening to a class discussion about historical figures, in English class. The people in the class are acting normal for the most part. The area I am in is a cubic room, very bright, and with a light design all around of a flowery decor. I go to the bed in the class and at first think of going to my dream journal, which isn't there. This is my first sign that I may be in a dream, so I plug my nose and instantly realize that I'm in a dream at this moment due to the breath I am still able to take through my nose. Suddenly my body is lifted up and I feel and hear the shock of electricity and thunder through and within my body. The dream is now very blurry and I feel sick (maybe because I have a cold in real life). I try to keep calm this time because I don't want the dream to end quickly like last time. I find this very difficult. I look around the room and it's the same room as before, but the people are now gone. I look and see instead the imprints of shadows sitting around me, I hear a faint static and thunder all around me, with these shadows only barely in my sight. I decide to do the spin around technique to try to add some clarity to the images around me. I felt indecisive over whether I wanted to change locations or just make the dream clearer. So the class becomes a bit clearer and brighter but only for a moment, then I am back in darkness. At this point the only light is a blue almost ethereal light as though the lightning is spinning around the room, engulfing it. I stumble towards the exit of the room. The door at the exit of this cubic room is a metallic dark green door with a bronze handle, it's size is rather normal. As I reach for the handle I hear a loud echo in the darkness reverberate through my body with a clear easily understood message. "Not everything is as it appears", the message brings another thunderous boom of static through my body. As I look out of the room, I see a corridor, almost as dark as the room I was previously in. I am now both very excited and incredibly scared at what I may see in this corridor, especially after the message that nearly shattered me. As I look around the desolate corridor, my focus is fading. I don't see anything frightening, but the message and feelings of electricity were definitely enough...I wake up, half paralyzed, with my heart pounding in a flurry. Still a very cool experience
    7. Day 1 : First deam

      by , 02-14-2012 at 09:42 PM
      So, this is my first day with a dream after my start about one week ago. I don't know if you read it, before I only remembered dreams like 5 a year or so.

      I was using the "Singularity Experience" app in beginner mode (DELID mode). I woken up about 4:30am, when the app rang. I only thought, wtf, I'll quit the app, don't need the sound. Seems not working.

      Maybe after that,cant say that exactly, I dreamed I was at school and my friend or class mate says something like "Mr. [Teachername], I think n00b should get a F, because he always forgets his pencil case". It was in arts lesson. In RL, I don't forget that stuff. After the dream I woke up, but fall asleep again. Maybe it was a false awakening, I really don't know and forget reality check.

      Some hours later my normal alarm started, and I only knew that little above. A few minutes later, I thought only how dumb I was, not trying to get lucid after waking up from that dream and why I quitted the app. Will continue.

    10. 19th Night

      by , 02-14-2012 at 08:58 PM (Exploring My Imagination)
      February 14, 2012
      I remembered two full dreams and one dream fragment last night although my two full ones were short and not very vivid, it still counts

      1) Dream Fragment- the whole dream took place in the locker room of some football team. I think there was a murder. The coach might have been angry. I can also recall seeing a black bag.

      2) My second dream was basically a false awakening, although I as never lucid beforehand. It started with me waking up in my bed and sitting up so I can write something down- maybe a dream. I looked around for a second and the room was dark, so I tried to turn on the lights. However, when I tried to turn the switch they wouldn't turn on. I was confuse as to why that was, and wondered if the lights had gone out. Finally I turned the switch again and after a few seconds the bulb lit up. I should have realized this was a dream because the whole light thing basically screamed "this is not real!" but I guess I'll need a little more practice.

      3) My final dream was also short and was cartoon-style. It had to do with Spongebob. Some new employee came and started to work at the Krusty Krab. It later became evident that he was, in fact, a cannibal and was bent on eating everyone. I'm not sure but he might have eaten Spongebob, squid ward, and Mr. Krabs. It then skips to a new scene where the cannibal guy opend the restaurant and it looks different- almost Asian style. The customers have to sit on these platform things that when they were sat on they turned into ovens. Everyone starts roasting, although they are completely oblivious, and the cannibal (and maybe a few friends) start to devour everyone. I then wake up.
    11. Playing DDR

      by , 02-14-2012 at 08:40 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was in either a house or an empty hotel room. There was a TV with two DDR mats set up under it. my brother and I started to play, but I wished they were the metal plates like in arcades. Then I looked down and the mats were on top of the metal arcade stands. We took the mats off and started to play.

    12. Hacking in courtyard

      by , 02-14-2012 at 08:40 PM (Various adventures of WK)
      I was in my 6th period class just drinking a dr pepper and not really doing any work and then we got released. for some reason I took a different path and walked outside to the front side of the school when I normally walk around the back. I went out a side door and started walking along the front of the school. As I started getting close to the courtyard that is kinda hidden next to the library I heard people in there. I looked in and saw a couple of friends fro the next town over and a friend in one of my classes. They were kicking around a hacky sack and were all skilled much more than they usually are. I had a free 7th period so I decided to join them. We all played for a while and even I was better than normal. I eventually realized that if I stayed there too long playing I would play right through my free period and miss the bus. I mentioned that to one of my friends from the next town and he said he would take me home. We kept kicking and passing the bag, dropping it a few times of course but much less than usual, until I woke up.

    13. Old entry (yesterday)

      by , 02-14-2012 at 08:35 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom and my little brothers came in. The mirror above the sink turned into a tv, and MLP was on. There was a new OP also, and the theme song was changed a little. My dad heard me talking about it and came in. He gave me a whole thing about how it's unhealthy for me to watch the show. I tried to explain but he wouldn't listen.*

    14. The Mall

      by , 02-14-2012 at 08:29 PM
      I took a nap since my daughter had me up several hours earlier than usual this morning, and managed to dream then as well. I dreamed of a mall trip, and I'm pretty sure that was because I had just talked about a mall dream to another DV member in a message before I went to nap. The dream starts out with my best friend and her husband, my husband, my two kids, and I all somehow squeezed into a truck. Not a tiny truck, but a larger one, at least as big as a ford 250 if not bigger. My BFF says she wants to go to the mall, and her husband says he'll drive us there if my husband and I will give him directions. We tell him that we will, and to just keep going straight because he's already going the right way. We come to a stop light, and he turns right. We ask him what he's doing, and he says he's trying to figure out where to go since we're not telling him. We tell him he was going the right way and he needs to turn back around. He turns around and this time when we tell him to go straight he takes a left and we make him turn around again. We finally arrive with no troubles after that. We get out of the truck and go into the mall. As we step through the doors, we hear a woman scream. We all stop and then see a security guard running towards us. They ask us if anyone has come through there, and we tell them no. There's a woman still screaming, but this time in anger and she's saying, "I know that little punk went this way, they're just covering for her! Don't ya'll lie to me now, where is she? She stole something from me!" We shake our heads and insist we didn't see anyone, and the security guard lets us go without any more questions. But then I heard a noise, like someone shushing someone else and someone whispering, "Hide!" I look to my left and there's this strange decorative cabinet there, and I think the sounds came from there. So I motion to my bff to watch the cabinet while I walk back to the security guard and tell him someone's hiding in it. He nods and tells us he'll check it out as soon as we walk away so if there's trouble we won't get caught in it. As soon as we're about ten feet away, I hear loud knocking and the guard saying, "I know your in there now come out before I have to drag you out!" and then there's shuffling and the sound of a fight as we quickly turn the corner to get away before the kids see it. My best friend and my husband are pushing our kids in stroller, and I'm walking next to my husband and my bff's husband is walking next to her. When we are around the corner I can tell the mall looks much different than usual. There are two sets of elevators and not just one. There are a lot more people than usual. There's also this golden brown lighting in the whole place. Like the lights are behind golden fixtures, and instead of drywall all the walls are finished wood paneling. It's really beautiful, but I hate crowds so I'm instantly uncomfortable. We start to walk to the right and walk by some people who's hair attracts my attention. There are several of them and their hair is black and forest green, and they have it styled in spiky hair styles, but the styles are different for each of them. I went through a blue hair phase a couple years ago, and a red hair stage last year, so I'm wondering how they get their hair to look so freshly dyed as crazy colors fade fast, and they start sneering at me like they're pissed and I realize staring isn't nice. Then a male friend of mine bumps into us. He says hey, nice to see you kind of pleasantries, then asks if we know where the bathroom is. I do, and I offer to show him where it is. He thanks me, and I leave my group to show him to the bathroom. When we get to the bathrooms, they are really different, there is a whole lobby like area in front of them, complete with a fancy flavored coffee machine. My friend goes into the bathroom, and I see the coffee machine but no register. I walk over to it, where there's a man already getting coffee. I ask him if the coffee is free as I grab a cup. He doesn't say anything, so I start to pour some coffee into my cup and a voice from behind the coffee machine says, "No, it costs." and I realize there's a register hidden behind the coffee machine. I say, "Oh sorry!" and set my cup down and run off as fast as I can because my money is in my bag with my husband and kids. I end up in front of the escalator and think about going downstairs to find my family, when I find myself thinking I need to look for K while I'm here. I turn back around to go look for K instead of my family, when I run into the friend who was in the bathroom. He's also running out of the lobby, and he says they tried to make him cashier in the lobby, I ask why thinking maybe they were going to make him work off the coffee I set down instead of paying for, and he says "Because the cashier took his stinky shoes off and put them in the bathroom. Now it smells to bad to go in. I complained, and told them I'd do a better job." I am relieved and tell him that he needed a job, he should take it. Then I tell him I'm looking for someone, and he says he'll help. He walks beside me for a bit as I just wander around and then go down the escalator. He doesn't follow me downstairs, and I'm wandering around some more, then realize that my shirt is getting shorter... like I'm practically popping out shorter. I freak out and run to the downstairs bathroom and call my BFF. I tel' her I was looking for K while I was away from the group for a while, but then my shirt started shrinking and I really need her to buy me a bigger shirt so I can come out of the bathroom! She arrived pretty quickly, and gives me a shirt and talks and laughs at me as I am changing shirts. Then we walk out of the bathroom and in the bathroom lobby is our husbands and my kids. That's when I woke up!
