All DJ Entries

Well, still faced with practically no recall. The only thing I remember is something about a city, family members, and stress. I guess it's a start, but not much of one. Oh well, hope you all have better luck than me at least!

Game Analysis 101
I am in school, it seems to be a game design class. Everyone is talking about some video games and comparing them. I am paying some attention, but I feel quite tired and I also feel like falling asleep. My eyelids are heavy and I close them just enough to rest them. I drift to sleep, and then I get poked by the person next to me. I look and I see that my ex-boyfriend is in the class with me, and he has poked me to wake me up. I stay awake long enough to hear everyone is now discussing Oblivion, and how it compares to Fallout 3. The subject of Skyrim comes up as the instructor asks if anyone has played that and how it compares. James says all of them blow ass. I comment he wouldn’t know a good game if it bit him. He gives me a strange look, maybe says something, but I am again drifting off to sleep. My eyes close and then I wake up.

Cats!
I am in a place I don’t recognize, it is a house, and it is a big one. I have no thought that I’m not supposed to be there, I am just wandering around and exploring. I enter a bedroom and see an adorable tabby cat on the bed. How cute! I turn to leave the bedroom and I almost trip over a tortie cat right behind me. Wow… where did you come from? I pat the kitty and head down the hall towards the bathroom. In the bathroom I find there is no human toilet, but there are four cat pans lined against the far wall. Am I supposed to use the cat pan? Even if I wanted to, they are all occupied. There is a cat doing business in each one and also three more cats patiently waiting in line. Wow… 7 more cats! I pat the last one in line and head out to find a human bathroom. I don’t find another bathroom, but I find my way back to the living room. I go to sit on the couch but I am warded off by a hiss. I almost sat on a cat! I look and see there are seven cats crowded onto the seat of the couch, all lying around each other. There are three more cats on the back of the couch and a cat on each arm. 12 more cats! I mentally count cats and realize I have found 21 cats so far. I turn from the couch and almost fall on my face as I realize I am about to step on a cat’s tail and I move awkwardly to avoid doing that. 22 cats… I wake up with a single cat purring beside me.

At least according to the text I have in my dream journal. That means we are going back to the past again - my current recall is still fragmented, but I just finished my first ever 100 % recall-at-least-something-everyday-month. Gotta be happy.

My Longest, Best Quality Lucid Ever
Date: November 2nd, 2009
Lucid: Obviously
Method: DILD

This might be the clearest and longest lucid dream I had, but it's also a bit weird and doesn't actually have that much happening. Again "I just knew" that I wasn't inside my own body. I was in this town with my parent, as in parent of the guy whose body I was inside. I wasn't sure whether it was his mom or dad, as it seemed to shift from moment to moment. We went to some shop and for some reason the parent cheated me out of 20 cents of my own money.

The point of the whole trip to the town was to get this guy to driving school. I just decided to run away from that parent and I figured out that I could go to the guy who was my real life driver's instructor. In real life he wouldn't have probably taken me, as there was an incident IRL, but as I knew I wasn't in my own body, I knew I could go there. At this point I wasn't lucid yet, even if it would make sense that I were if I already know that I'm not inside my own body.

I was running up some hill and alongside the street there were some houses that had a carefully decorated facade. I found this odd given that I knew the town where I was in and there shouldn't be houses like that there. I decided to RC and got lucid. Part of me wanted to go along with the dream's plot, just to see where it goes, so I started proceeding further towards this driving school. I ran right into the traffic, knowing that even if I get ran over, it can't really damage me. Damn, thinking afterwards I ought to have done couple more RCs just to make sure.

I come to the corner of some building and remembered the monthly challenge of our forum. First I still decided to try out my powers by stopping all the traffic. Everything froze like I would have pressed the pause button. I got drunk with power and started shouting "I! AM! GOD!!!"

My forum's challenge that month was to meet your dream guide. So I just walked along in the empty town, that was still frozen by my pause-button, and started screaming, that my dream guide better show up.

Ground started to rumble, like something was running towards me. I was behind a building's corner and I heard how it ran past me. "I'm here", I shouted behind it.

I had wondered before what kind of dream guide I would like to have, but in the end I just decided that I wanted my subconscious to surprise me. It certainly did it.

My dream guide emerged. It was.... WOODY FUCKIN WOODPECKER. Like what the fuck? How the hell did that happen? I never even watch Woody Woodpecker, yet it's my dream guide. That's messed up on so many levels. My mind created an incredible 3d version of it (or should I refer to it as him?) as well, I was impressed about that, but still, what a mindfuck. Needless to say, I obviously don't believe any of these dream guide nonsense anymore.

So anyway, I asked Woody whether he'd help me have more lucids in the future and help me know myself better, like it read in the Dreamviews (oh my god, this is comedy gold... I couldn't even come up with anything as good as this). Woody was similar to my DCs usually, he didn't talk much.

I don't remember what happened to Woody, but given that I already did the challenge and met my dream guide, there was only one thing in my mind - sex. So I found myself a girl and had her give me a bj. I wouldn't normally go into the details in these kinds of things, well, not here anyway, but it felt so good this time that I came in like four seconds and was more intense than anything I've experienced in real life. Normally dream sex doesn't feel pretty much anything for me.

But yeah, I had gotten off so that part of me was satisfied (and for those of you curious, NO, I didn't wake up with messy pants), but the dream was still going on. Next I tried to burn my own house just after getting a random idea. Again, might be wise to make couple of RCs before doing shit like that, I don't think "But I though it was a dream" is going to be satisfactory explanation for the insurance company after committing arson to your own house. Anyway, the house didn't burn very well, so that's a relief.

I had a false awakening and then the nose test didn't work as it should have. For some reason I wasn't able to breath through it despite still being in a dream. Nothing noteworthy happened after that.

Still, kind of sad that this still probably the best and longest lucids I ever had. I've had a couple lucids later that could challenge this, but I think this should be the average, not among the best.

I forgot a lot of my dreams from last night. I'm starting to get lazy about jounrnalling I'm afraid. Anyway, here's what I remember. I think it was lucid, but even then I'm not 100 sure.

Lucid Jumping

I am standing on top of a tall building, when I apparently become lucid. I look at the long distance down, and decide to jump off and fly. I dive off the building gracefully, and swoop up into the air. I fall towards the ground, I think I am intending to dive down and swoop up at the last minute. But then I become curious about what would happen if I hit the ground while I am dreaming. Since it's a dream, I know I can't get hurt.

When I hit the ground, I apparently bounce up into the air. I fly up backwards and drift to my right, towards some pillars of the building. These look painful, but when I hit them I just pass right through them as though they were a hologram.

The only Lucid dream I remember having since I was about 8 years old.
The morning of Saturday, 28th of January. 2am to 12pm.

The dream started with me hanging out with friends getting cupcakes from a political party expo that we were sitting outside. Sitting on a park kind of table/bench. Going in and stealing trays of muffins/muffin cakes? I say muffin cakes because there was this one large lump of what could have been a tray of muffins. Opposing political party paraded in- JB, a parents friend from years ago was with them. They took people hostage with imaginary equipment/weapons. The leader had an imaginary knife. They walked around to the left side of the expo building that reminded me of a Marai (Like a traditional Maori church). I went over. Said something to the leader. He responded and then all their equipment became real. They chased us and we went underground into my old schools basement. Running into a room, and then a different room. quite dark. Hiding in a basket. I was almost too big for the basket and it nearly broke, but I was wobbling around in it. Someone else came in and said they could hide in there more convincingly. I got out and went to the opposite side of the room. There were piles of clothes, 2/3rds of the room tall. Found a small gap I could crawl through, almost like a small cave under the clothes. Using my phone for light. 2 people come in, one of them the leader. They saw my phone light. I jumped out and surprised them. Leader swinging round his knife. Managed to disarm him. I think the other guy was attacked by the other person from the basket. I somehow remove his head from his body, but he's still alive. Punching his head in the face again and again, not doing much damage (Common dream about having no strength in punching). Leave the underground basement of the school. Walking down the street. 3 Salvation Army people in a Jeep kind of car waiting to pick someone up (relates to my parents being Officers in the Salvation Army). Walked down Layard street on the road. A car swerved to hit me, I jumped onto the footpath and the car managed to fit between a car that was parked on the right side of the road and the footpath (Cars drive on the other side in NZ). Became Lucid. Decided to go see KW. Started rollerblading towards her house. Stop at a house and go to the back, talk to people and begin waking up. Started spinning and listening/remembering a song. Dreaming became solid again. Situation repeated as I was leaving. Saw the cars numberplate was Muse, which is the music I was then remembering/listening to. Acknowledged that and laughed. Continued rollerblading to KW's house thinking that I had to see what being lucid and in control was like. Ended up in a house nothing like hers, went in, her and her dad were happy/celebrating that he was having twins because of some surrogate or something idk. Hugged KW. Went looking for a mirror so I could see what I looked like in a dream. Walked through a door that happened to lead to the Kitchen. It was full with random stuff, creating a small path on the floor. No mirrors. Left the room. Told KW I couldn't find a mirror. Hugged her and found she had a chest that belonged to another friend, AY. Woke up?

I'm sitting in an airplane, heading to another country. We approach the airport, and there seem to be some clouds and trees. Suddenly, I feel the plane lurching downward, thinking we're going to crash. Yet the plane manages to escape within a few metres of the ground. We land slowly, and prepare to get out of the plane.

Flashback. Here, I'm drinking hawthorn nectar, but it's a facade.

Suddenly, I'm back home. It's as if I never boarded the plane.

My dad came to visit from Cali and went shipping with me at b square. He out on a mini dress thing and asked what I though. Adam said he liked it and I said it looked bad. He said it was comfy and bought it. My taillights were out and my dad tried to help me fix it. I went home and heard Leo was back with his mom and that he hated it here and wanted to go back to Russia. I called his moms house and she asked what I thought. I said he should do what makes him happy and that he is probably used to Russia now. She didn't like that and said to call later I knew she didnt want me to talk to him because I would tell him to go back. I called again and she said they left. I ran out of the house. It was snowing and blizzarding. I ran full speed. I had a long ways to go but didn't care. I stopped at some outside mall thing to get a hotdog. Before this I peed a lot in front of some guy on my balcony.*

Date: Tuesday, January 31, 2012

Since I found out about Lucid Dreaming my recall has been terrible. I haven't been able to remember a single dream since Jan 28 when I found Lucid Dreaming. I think it might have to do with my exams and being woken up in the mornings. Hopefully now that i can relax my recall will improve. Hoping the next entry will be about a dream.

Woke up abruptly because of the end of the dream, but it kinda killed the recall....had at least two dreams....don't remember much from the first.

I remember being at some place...like a mall or something with Oneironaut, but I was about to take off. Some black girl in a grey skirt and heels with long curly hair approached me and asked if I saw him. I said yeah, but I don't know where he's at. Apparently she wanted me to hook her up with him, and she was asking how often I saw him. I obviously had a hard time figuring that out, because I don't hang with the guy. Something else happens, and I'm meeting up with Limitless to eat dinner. We're going to some underground hole in the wall type place because both of us were bored. The guy who was serving us was flirting with her hard, and she didn't care. I was just thinking "damn I gotta tell TheUnknown about this".

from here I think i woke up

I'm in what should be the kitchen of that building talking with a bunch of people, and everyone is discussing who's been there the longest. One guy has been there since 06 when we thought he was there longer. They were also asking me if I knew anyone else who could work there. (I think this was sort of like my warehouse job...but I didn't recognize anyone).

Recall get's jacked up here

I'm near a lake, and everything looks cartoonish. There's an alligator chasing some people so fast that the water in that area dries up. All of a sudden a leaf falls out of the sky, and I now have the Tanooki suit. Not much room to run around here, so I decided to run in the improvised road way from the now dry land. I heard the max speed noise and jumped up, and I could feel my tail propelling me up skyward. Down below I could see the water returning in the lake, and the alligator as well. As I floated towards the ground, he was shadowing my path to get his next meal. I stopped my tail, and dropped to the ground immediately. The alligator was in hot pursuit, and I ran in hopes to get enough speed to fly again, but failed. This swamp is looking super realistic now, and the water is so murky....."shit, he may be in there". I backed off and kept heading around it. There were all these the trees were covered with webbing and had banana spiders all in them. Every web I broke, had then crawling upwards into the tree tops. It's too silly to turn around now, but dang....there's no telling if any of these other spiders are nonvenomous. I saw a really big green one and I didn't know what it was....then a big red one. Then the trees started looking like spiders themselves. "REALLY!?" I woke myself up.

Allen and I were going to a music festival of some sort that had a mansion in the middle of a field. We both brought our staffs to spin. I was really nervous about spinning in front of people so we found a secluded area hidden by some trees. We spun for a few minutes, I wasn’t doing very good but I wasn’t dropping it or anything. I could see DJ Pauley D from the Jersey shore looking at us from stage near a pool. His hair looked long, like Steve Aoki. I saw the “Situation” sitting at a table with some girls and I cracked a joke about his hair cut to Allen. We both started laughing and Allen called him a jack ass. Pauley D’s body guard came over to us and said that he was a huge fan of ours. I was shocked to hear this, that I had become a famous spinner. Apparently my spinning name (which no, I do not have one in real life) was Crystal Method (like the musician). Allen was just as surprised as me about our new found fame. His name apparently was Mini Method and that really upset him. I tried to comfort him by saying that it was supposed to be funny, like how biggy smalls was so big and yet called small. Allen is 6’5 and yet his spinning name was mini. He wasn’t amused by my connection.
*memory laps*
Allen becomes really short and fat. We got into some sort of fight on some bleachers and he walked off. I cant remember much of this dream other than the fact that we both had staffs in our hands and that my surroundings were very strange. We were on bleachers but it also appeared that we were under some too. There was many layers of many bleachers and we were somewhat trapped inside them.

I was driving home from work and I was having a really tough time controlling my car. The freeway was far more complex than usual. There were many lanes, twisting and spiraling into each other. My exit contained 3 potential ways to go and I chose the wrong one. I went to turn back around and get on the right one but the police were blocking the easy exit. I pulled up to an exit they were allowing and I knew that I would die if tried it. The road shot straight up into the air a few stories with no side railing before shooting straight back down. I watched a car go about 100mph and make it but I was convinced I would not be so lucky. It was like something out of a Dr. Souse book. I pulled over to a park and began to look for my phone to call Allen. When I couldn’t find my phone I grew panicked and was on the verge of tears. I felt like I would never be able to go home again (a little dramatic I see now). I got out of my car and walked to the center of a park. It was warm and sunny out. A gay men couple walked up to me and introduced themselves and their 3 adopted small children. They were all so polite and sweet. One of them said they were about to go “lift-a-sailing” and wanted to know if I would like to join. Basically there was a giant chairlift that you would see at a ski lift but it didn’t require any machinery. It flew in the sky in all directions really quickly. I said okay and I hopped on. We but a safety bar in front of us and it took off before I could put on my seatbelt. It was flying super high and flashes of light from the sun were blinding me. I was laughing and squalling like if I were on a roller coaster but it was even more fun than that. After a while I got my seatbelt on and the ride was becoming more mild and relaxing. It was moving forward smoothly. One of the men said that they could fly me home if I wished and I quickly said yes and thanked them. My last memory of this is seeing the highway in the distance and rolling green hills under me. The sun was straight ahead as we drifted towards home. I was overwhelmed with an extreme sense of calm.

Was hanging out with cloe in newcastle area. We kept walking up and down this big paved hill. I remember that we were smoking cigs (funny because I don't smoke) and talking shit about people. She was planning on having her boyfriend come over for an hour and she needed me to leave them alone. The two of them went off to her bedroom. I then realized I left my purse in her room and didn't know how to fill an hour with no phone, keys, or cigs (which for some reason I was craving). Then raechels mom appeared and told me that she wanted me to join her and her family on their yearly family vacation to Hawaii. I was really excited and I started packing. I randomly had a closet at cloes house filled with cute dresses. I shoved tons of them into a lv bag. For some reason I thought they were super christian and I packed a weird church like dress in the bag too. I remember laughing uncontrollably to myself while doing it.
One last weird detail, my like 00 yr old grandmother learned to float and was better then me at it. I was super jealous and felt like a fool*

Last night their were two dream fragments that i remember but they don't make to much sense.
The first thing i was in a car going to my friend Sean's house. I said "Wait i cant go there his parents hate me." When we got there seconds later we went inside and his mom was smiling at me.I don't remember what happened before or after that.

This was really short and barley worth writing about but my-swell. I remember walking up the stairs that lead up to the 8th grade wing at my school. I was talking with my friend Micheal but i forget what about. Thats about it. Hopefully tonight I will have more memorable dreams like I usually do.

I've had many dreams... The first one is just a small fragment. I went into a public bathroom with my girlfriend, there was a line. Everything was dirty and broken, there were about five stalls, but two or three weren't working. Then, one of the girls started mocking another girl who was pooping. All the girls started making fun of her, it was like they knew each other.

The second dream is longer. I was on a bus, my dad was driving it and there were many people inside. I saw some black clouds and thought there could be a tornado. Then I remembered we don't have those in Brazil, so I figured it might just be a storm. As soon as I thought that, I realised I was in the US, so I was like "OMG, it could really be a tornado!!!"

While I was thinking that, I saw a playground and suddenly a hole opened on the floor and a toy fell. It was like a earthquake had happened, and my dad sped up. I checked as we drove by and there were no kids playing there at the time. That made me feel better. As my dad kept driving, we saw lots of holes appearing, not close to us, we could see it happening miles away.

We arrived at a hotel and I told my parents they had to hold my hands. If they did that, they'd be safe, but they wouldn't listen to me. My dad had mentioned that all the holes were appearing on the same road, so I decided to go online and google it. As I was leaving to "my" room, I noticed my dad was acting weird, so I told him he shouldn't go crazy. He laughed in a weird way that freaked me out.

I woke up... inside the dream. I was afraid of it being a false awakening, so I did a reality check that had worked the other day: I looked at the mirror. Turns out that, whenever I decided to do a reality check, my mind tricks me. I was completely myself in the mirror, so I was like "cool, let me write down this dream", but then I decided to google the road my had talked about. As I was turning on the computer, my dad randomly tried to get into my room through the window and he was laughing... he sounded demented. I freaked out and...

...woke up. This time for good. My heart was beating fast and I was scared as hell.

My last dream wasn't short, but I can only remember one small thing. I was talking to a friend of mine and he gave me a CD. He told me he had burnt his presentation for a class in there and that he wanted me to see it. I said I would, I put it on and the presentation was happening in a cave. And I woke up.

And that's it!

I'm in a correctional teenagers prison, and these kids want to kill me. One walks towards me, so I back up towards a set of stairs behind me, to escape, but a kid is standing there, blocking the way. "You wrecked the reputation of the prison, by doing that tv ad." Now two people are after me, I sidestep the original one, and back away, towards another set of stairs. A third person comes out, and says pretty much the same thing. This time I dodge him, and then try escape to the bottom by using the stairs, but then I realise they're attempting to kill me by pushing me down the stairs anyway. I turn around and walk down slowly backwards, while holding onto the rail, so they can't push me. I make it down the bottom, and feel safe, but then I realise the whole "prison" is just a masive open six level scaffolding. I begin running down the stairs away fom them, trying to make it to the bottom floor. One of them shouts after me, "This is all part of my plan! I got permission to take you to the lowest level, and kill you, so no one will see." There are about three staircases all leading down to a lower floor that you can take on each level, so they attempt to cut me off a few times, but it doesn't work. I finally make it down to the first floor, and then for some reason I say, "What a minute! You have permission for ME to be here, NOT YOU!" This seem to mean something to him, because he stops chasing me. I continue running, however, and see an alleyway leading out into my town. I head towards town, but I can't resists turning around, giving him the finger, and exchanging a few nice words. He doesn't seem to care though, he just laughs and says "He's going to use that car!" Reffering to the one infront of me. I walk past his vision and decide against using the car, seeing I'd be easy to find. I look towards a field with long grass, leading into a forest, and decide to walk there. I run through the field, and into the forest, but I have a feeling someone is following me, so I hide behind a tree. It's actually more of a park with a fair bit of trees, and a fair few people are around. It turns out to be people on bikes, anyway, however just as I emerge from the tree, I see the actual people, that were chasing me. They're coming from my front, left side,so I have to hide on a diagonal angle to the right, to not be spotted. I gradually move, and they become none the wiser. I step out relieved, but then I realise there's a police officer with them, and he spots me. I begin running, and the police officer shouts " He's running away" They turn, and try to grab me, but I jump over them. I head into a restraunt at the end of the park/forest, and see a group of my friends. I sit down with them, and try to blend in, hoping the police or prisoners won't notice me. My friends greet me, and I say "Hey, I'm on the run from prison, I need you guys to be quite. They all laugh, which draws attention to me, and the people after me, see me. They call out my name, but I look around, pretending to look for the person. I look at a young boy, and say "Excuse me sir, I think they're calling you." The police officer shouts "Cut the crap, turn yourself in." I jump over the table, and run towards the kitchen, hoping for an exit. They follow me. I turn towards a window, and he shouts "He's going to jump on the chair, and try to climb out the window." I do what he says, but the window is way to small to fit through, and he has an easy oppurtunity to grab me. But he doesn't, and I realise that he's trying to help me. "He's going to jump on the table, and then go onto the ledge. I smile at him, then quickly run out of the room. I walk a few metres, and then slide into a hotel room, throught the window. I'm with Jessi, and I open the fridge, for some reason, looking at the food. I take nothing, and then exit the room. I look for the room that looks the least likely to be looked in. I take the one at the far end, and step inside. Jessi begins walking away, and I demand to know wh he's walking off when there are people trying to kill me. "I'm going to buy the room, you can't just barge in there..." He does have a good point, I follow him, and we end up in the foyer. Jessi begins paying, and I stay the steps, being cautious. I hear a voice that says "You know you're dreaming, right?" "Of course I do" I reply. Then I realise I actually AM dreaming, and become lucid. I turn towards the person who you rent the rooms off. "I want to eat something.... can I have an apple?" She throw me an apple, and I bite into it. Crunchy and sour. "I want you to summon me a badger." It turns into this game, where you have to get the badger. Eventually I win, and I "wake up" with a badger in my lap. I get up, and mum iss tanding at the end of the bed. I wake up for real. (By the way, the guys at the prison weren't actually that scary, considering they're supposed to be in the world's toughest prison..)
