I am looking at a house for rent with Melissa. It looks like it is in the South Meadows area. It looks nice and fairly inconspicuous from the street, but when we get inside I am really impressed. There are nice wood floors and two levels. The stairs end in a little landing that overlooks the first floor. I open the back doors, stepping onto a patio that is unenclosed and almost flush with the surrounding marshland. The sun is setting, filling the clouds with a cotton candy pink that contrasts beautifully with the winter blue of the sky. This coupled with the reflections in the water creates a beautiful, peaceful scene that I feel immersed in. Back inside, I express to Melissa how much I like this place. I was thinking the rent was $1,800, but when we step out front I see a paper taped to a window that says $3,800. I tell Melissa, but I think she already knew. Kris now appears and says something about a family just moving in or out - out, I think. We then follow her into her house which is right over here. The inside seems fairly simple, yet homey.

I've been having a somewhat better dream recall average than I normally would, but haven't been taking note of dreams enough and my last DJ here was ages ago now. This is a particularly memorable dream fragment from this week.

Dream Fragment:

First half is missing.

Was in my home city, or some altered version of it. It was day time and I was heading home on foot; there was a fluid transition to my arrival home but I've forgotten the detail of it, and when I got there it was dark at that point. My dad was in his car and approached me and told me to get in the car so we could go somewhere (for a meal or something?) - I was a bit reluctant, I was feeling in pain and really tired; mom was sat at the back with one of my brothers (T) and one of my cousins (R) was sat at the front, so I sat next to mom.

Dad started driving and very shortly after, we were going through some surreal highway that I've seen in some other dream fairly recently; surrounded by cliffs and 10-story buildings on top of the cliffs. It then turned into a rock and dirt road and there were dark abysses either side of the road, with more cliffs in the distance. I was a bit apprehensive too, but mom was starting to get quite worried and told dad, in the same way as I ever expect.

He reassured her with a smile, saying: "It's fine, I've driven on these roads loads of times!". Very shortly after he said that, we went over a bump in the road, but there was nothing on the other side. The car fell straight into one of those abysses, none of us seemingly very concerned by this, plunging into water at the bottom.

At first we didn't try to get out; I remember thinking "Well it doesn't really matter" but eventually we all got out and swam up. When we got to the surface of the water, some sort of root-like things descended toward us and took us to a sort of rocky area under a much bigger floating mass of rock.

At the centre of this area there was some sort of little shop. I remember going in and seeing all these small 4:3 CRT TV screens, each one no bigger than my head, sat on shelves, almost perfectly spaced apart. Each one of the screens had a landscape view in it, like a live feed, but not much was going on in any of them. It was a colourful shelf to look at.

As I walked along this narrow path between these big metal shelves with the TVs, something caught my attention on top of one shelf. A moonstone, but not as bright and vivid or even opalescent like one I actually have in reality. The gem was pale and sort of a sepia or cream colour but it was still slightly translucent as expected. What was odd about it was that it was encrusted with some sort of gold filigree and small golden spheres.

Start to remember less detail at this point. I remember dad went off his own way and so did my sibling and cousin. Mom stayed with me and we went outside, where it was still dark, although the direct area around wherever we went was always seemingly lit. More like the darkness was a fog made of black.

I remember seeing some bones or dead plants and noticing the floor was particularly arid. Eventually we found some building thing, which was very square. It had a brand new kitchen I think, but apart from that it was mostly just dark corridors. I don't remember anything after that point.

A note:

I remember that in the dream the surreal landscapes felt familiar but out of place. Although I did not get anywhere near being lucid, I've had more of these moments lately where I'll have pre-lucid thoughts or recognition of a feature from a past dream.

I really just wanted to sleep and didn't want to do anything else. I had gotten up out of my bed because I knew I had to deal with a lot of stuff in waking life and just decided to forget about it for now. I went back in my bed and fell asleep. I found myself experiencing images flashing and soon I was able to walk around with in the darkness. There still was no dream but I was able to start using my dream body.

However I eventually lost awareness of myself in the darkness because nothing was happening and no image would remain solid. I eventually enter a dream non-lucid. In the dream I found myself at a grocery store and I was on top of a shelf of can goods. A cashier woman saw me up and there and before I knew it she was tapping me on my shoulder. I turn around to face her but she wasn't behind me and was now on the side that I had previously turned from. I turn again but she had moved to the opposite direction again.

She then pushed me to the shelf, making me completely laying on it on my front side only. And started to put pressure on my back side. This began to hurt to the point of where I became lucid. I didn't know what she was trying to do but I got my hand and was trying to sway it around to signal her to stop. Massaging was definitely not her best job. It didn't work though, so I had tried to switch the dream to a different scene. Instead images kept floating around and eventually I just lost lucidity again with in the darkness.

One image did finally arrive and solidify itself with in the pending darkness. Once it did, I regain lucidity instantly like a bad habit. I remember this image from earlier I said, now it was a dream. I began moving around and saw the other grocery store that I tried to enter. I waited in line with other people as I observe the environment. The place was beginning to darken, I tried to cut in line and see what they had in some places. I went through a few rooms to see people partying and couches being place around.

The grocery store had now became a place of run down party. With a lot of people either eating or drinking while dancing. Some guy shove my arm and I told him to stop bothering me and went about my business. I then notice the dream getting too dark and realize I was returning back to the complete blackness that awaited me. I decided I was going to hold on to my consciousness as long as I could as I grew tired of constantly going in and out of awareness. I also tired to rub my hands together to stabilize the dream but it was too late.

I was in total darkness now and something different happen this time as I held on as much as I could. I felt my consciousness zip out from the darkness like a vortex, it made this swooshing sound as it sent me back to my body in bed. The pressure felt quite intense, I wasn't sure what happened or if I was awake in my bed now in waking life.

But something felt very different. My body felt way lighter and I felt stuck. As I tried to move it felt like I was ripping out of another body. My arm was like half stuck in it, I still had my eyes close but felt the immediate urge to open them. As I did it was like seeing from another eye as I could faintly see my room from where I was laying down. I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not but I all of a sudden I realize I couldn't breathe. I was trying to breathe but nothing was happening. I began to panic and this made me lose my focus and woke up in the same position I was previously in at my bed.

I had a lucid dream using meditation this morning. Went back to bed at 7:48 a.m and woke up again at 8:15 a.m. I find myself in my bedroom. I focus my intent on my desk to manipulate some shadows in a cat. Then, a real cat appears outside one of my windows. I look outside the window and I see my house floating high above Earth. There are land masses covered in ice and use my intent to manipulate the ice caps. I leave my bedroom and go outside. I see my mom, niece and dad along the way. I am in my front yard and it is early morning before sunrise. I call out for one of my dream characters and she appears via my neighbor's door way. We greet each other and continue walking down the street. She disappears. I try to summon lightning and the clouds above gently flash with light for a moment. I continue walking until I am on another street. I see two children with backpacks in front of their homes presumably waiting for the school bus. I attempt to re-summon my dream guide from before so we can decide the adventure we want to embark on.

No dice.

TOTY:Snowy Mountain Cave- Somebody who was on a hike is being held in the hand of a hungry abominable snow monster. Find the cave on the snowy mountain where the monster is, and free the hiker from the monster. Escape from the cave and use any means necessary to close the entrance to trap the monster. Take the rescued to the top of the mountain so they can enjoy the view.

I was in the gym basement of a school when I became lucid. I dropped everything I was doing and left the school. I flew naturally (without the need of my broom!) and went high into the air. I saw the arctic mountains in the north ( a location in many of my LDs) and flew there. I unsheathed my sword when I landed on the mountain. I remember how cold it was and I kept saying to myself, "You are dreaming, and you will stay lucid." I walked around until I found the abominable monster, although it was nothing like I expected. Going into the dream I expected it'd be a big snow monster kind of like the one from Frozen. This one was a large orange mountain lion. But it was definitely the guardian of the region. There was a cave behind the lion with a trapped hiker in it. I swung my sword at the lion and it made contact, and the lion ran away. So much for trapping it in the cave, but this was good enough. I asked the hiker if they were hurt and they said no. I pointed out the path going to the top of the mountain, and I woke up as we were walking up it.

I am on a computer, looking through files. I’m trying to find papers from an earlier part of the dream where I’d stayed after a math class drawing, and the teacher had brought over a stack of graded assignments he’d apparently been working on while I sat there. I’d just glanced at them and seen that’d I’d done really well on them before taking off, but now I want a closer look, and this was apparently where they were.

I scroll through small pictures, some of which began to move. One has expanded to fill the whole screen. It shows a house on fire, people running out. It scrolls past a small stage on which two double basses stand, one the traditional sort, another more metallic – electric by the look of it, but still a roughly double bass size and shape. It sits in a sort of flower-shaped metal pad. It catches my attention, and I’m struck by the level of detail.

I am now – not sure in what order – both present in the dream and lucid. I’m in a park-like area, a clearing with groves of trees and some woods not far off. Another stage is nearby, this one a roofed circular platform on which sits another of those big electric basses. I consider giving it a try – that could be fun. But it occurs to me that I’ve never produced frightening scenarios in lucid dreams before, and I should try it at least once.

Surrounded by demons is the first thing that occurs to me for some reason. That’ll do. I will them into being. As I focus on the intention, everything around me grows dark, swirling and immaterial. I’m floating, moving vaguely backwards. But nothing else seems to be happening. Oh, well. Maybe I’ll give that bass a try after all.

I let go of the intention. The original scene immediately returns, and I walk back towards the area I started out in. But not far from it, by a ridge in front of a forested area, I spot a strange figure. Its head looks like a skull, bovine in shape, with horns that curl around to the front and knot around each other, and it’s wearing a black and white herringbone tweed blazer with a thin purple scarf and a long grey-black skirt. It looks like I managed something, at least, although I can’t say it’s especially scary.

As I approach, it waves its hand, causing a small sphere of darkness to shoot towards me. This startles me a bit, but it doesn’t seem to have any effect. I keep walking towards it, ignoring its attacks. As I pass the pavilion, I notice the instrument sitting there looks different now. There are also now a number of cats up under the roof, lying in big cat piles that seem to extend upward into tunnels. They seem to just be waking up. The grey and orange tabbies stay where they are, but a few black cats stretch and jump down onto the stage.

As I turn back towards the figure, I see that it is now a cat as well – a small black one. I pick it up. It doesn’t look happy with being held, but it makes no attempt to escape.

At that point, I wake up.

9.1.20

I think I’m at either Matt and Sara’s or Opa’s house. It seems to be a family gathering. There also seems to be some tension between Matt and Sara. I find Sara alone and ask what’s going on. She tells me that she’s pregnant but Matt won’t stop drinking. Sure enough, I look over and see him holding what looks like a glass of whisky.




I am on a promenade along the river. I think some of the family is here too. I also can’t shake the feeling that this place is very familiar somehow.

Been a little stressed and depressed but I still remember some.

Jamie 1

Just remember going out to some house or cabin in the woods, Inside was really big with lots of floors. Just remember Jamie was there. Not talking to me much but still hanging around.

Later there was something with my brother and my dad but I forget what it was about.

Jamie 2,

Just remember me and jamie were in a room with Jesus (where has this guy been anyway?). Jesus was making youtube video icons and directing them to a slot, indicating I should make more videos. I'm having trouble finding the time and motivation for that.

Glad Jamie still shows up even if she isn't always in a good mood.

Last night I had a new dream that involved my grandads old 1983 Plymouth Reliant. This is the same car where all the dreams took place where I was riding in the middle of the front seat between my mom and my sister and my mom couldn't get the car to start.

I think this also took place in spring of 1994 when I was 15 and had my learners permit and the car was parked in our driveway.

In this dream, I decided I would go out and start the Reliant and drive it up and down my parents long driveway some to give the battery a charge.

I first went and grabbed the keys out of the drawer in the chest by our back door where my parents kept all of our keys. I then went outside and unlocked the drivers side door to the tan reliant and then sat down on the tan vinyl bench seat. When I put the key in the ignition, it made the same buzzing sound that I always hear in the recurring dream I keep having. I go ahead and close the drivers side door to make sure I do not have anything unnecessary draining batter power incase the batter has gotten weak. I then turn the key and the car starts right up without any trouble. I see all of the red lights on the dash illuminated and hear the buzzing sound. The lights quickly go out and the buzzing stops when I put on my seatbelt.

I then turn the radio to my favorite station, and then put the car in reverse and back it up until I am almost to the street at the end of our driveway. When I get to the end, I put it back in drive and drive it to the other end of the driveway near our house. For the next 15-20 minutes, I am driving the Reliant from one end of the driveway to the other while listening to the radio. I feel a certain sense of freedom know that in a few months I will have my drivers license and can drive myself where I want when I want.

I eventually park the car back by our house, turn it off, lock the door, and then go back into the house.

In this dream, I do not see anyone else unlike the other dream I keep having where my mom and sister are both in it.

Had a dream I was petting a black cat. It meowed. I tried to summon some superpowers. I was looking for a dream character. I heard someone call my name and I was invited into a house party by some old friends. Funny thing is that his entire lucid dream happened in 20 minutes. I tried in bed for nearly an hour trying to fall asleep only that my mind was so active from daydreaming. I finally realized I had work soon so I used meditation to forcefully quiet my mind so I could fall asleep.

Daydream > Silence see-saw?

This weekend, I was leading a retreat for the rest of the leadership team for an large event that I will be running this summer. We were staying in a hotel that was in an old art deco building downtown in a city a few hours away. I was staying in the penthouse suite where we held our meeting and planning sessions.

I had a dream last night where the rest of the team and I were opening the windows and walking on the ledges outside which were 17 stories over the street. We walked all the way around the outside of the building and then we scaled the building and climbed up to the roof before repelling back down to the 17th floor where my suite was. I vividly recall a strong wind, hearing the traffic on the street below, and seeing the other buildings downtown light-up as the sun set and we went from late afternoon to night. I do not have any recollection of why we decided to climb out to the ledge and then scale the building to the roof, but all of the details were very vidid and when I woke-up, I actually go of out bed and checked all of the windows to see if we really did go out of the roof. All windows were latched, so i guess it was all a very vivid dream.

Dream No. 638 - You're The Culprit

I can’t remember much about this dream. From where I can remember, I was in the foyer of this unknown tertiary education building. I called for Edward (Ed) B to come and take me for elevator practise. Though GD had approached me rather and was about to say something. Just by the look he was giving me, I felt that was he who had interfered with my past attempts to get a successful practise; though when I interrogated him, he said he wasn’t responsible for anything and then walked away. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

Dream No. 637 - The Driveway Stand Off

I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was at my house and my family was preparing for all these people to come over as my high school were going to hold some sort of memorial mass service at my house. As other people were setting up, including Mr. O’N, I had a quick look at all the pamphlets and saw who was supposed to be doing what at the mass and all the people that were going to be speaking at different parts. There were lots of people that had good roles but I felt upset because I felt like the only one wasn’t given any part to participate in.

People then started to arrive from the house and it was a complete mixture from all stages of my high school and current life. Someone I specifically remember was JSc who came in the high school winter uniform, but in the new one, where as in real life, she was in school when they still had the old shirts and ties. I myself was also wearing the new winter uniform like they had in my last two years. There were also some teachers present. Even though Ms. L is deceased in real life, she seemed to make an occasional appearance but was somewhat transparent and she was wearing a white top.

That wasn’t all though; there were also these people coming to my house that I know via the internet from the United States. They seemed to be mostly voice actors but some other industry professionals came as well. MA Jr. was in the crowd but I felt a somewhat broken and empty connection with him and like it wasn’t worth talking to him because he wasn’t going to talk to me even if I tried. Later on I saw Edward (Ed) B in the same crowd knew I had potential for interaction with him, but I realised I had to resist as I felt the professionals didn’t really pay attention to the people that ‘didn’t matter’. Everyone in this ‘professional league’ were wearing the exact same outfit, like they had a uniform. It was a black shirt and pants with a bright red blazer on top.

I headed downstairs and when I had entered into my driveway, I noticed my deceased grandfather approaching me from the street. Just like Ms. L, he was human but also slightly transparent, but he was wearing dark clothes. Also, he his face was all scrunched up with his mouth partially open and he was giving these really low bass tone growls as he got closer and closer to me. Before he could even get close enough to me, I felt my heart racing and in a sense, I almost felt sick. I kept pacing around, trying to keep away from him as I cried out for Ed.

I thought Ed was going to ignore me but I was surprised to see that he had walked up from behind and was going to confront my deceased grandfather. The dream camera now seemed to give a far angled third person shot where Ed was standing tall and staring my deceased grandfather in the eye, pointing towards the street, his mouth moving as if he as telling my deceased grandfather to leave; the dream did not have Ed talking.

My deceased grandfather seemed to still be growling but as Ed would take a step closer to him, he would slowly back away; they continued their stand-off down the driveway. Eventually, my deceased grandfather walked back up the court from where he came and Ed just stood at the edge of the driveway, watching and making sure he went far away and would not come back. Once my deceased grandfather was gone, I was filled with this sense of peace and accomplishment as I just stared up at Ed’s back. The dream ended there.

Dream No. 636 - Private Apartment Complex

I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, my university friend RV was over at my house and we were currently in my bedroom. I made a suggestion to her about going to the Glen Shopping Centre and that’s when the scene changed. However, I was at the shopping centre by myself. Some parts of it looked it does in real life and other parts of it looked different. I had in mind that I wanted to get McDonalds; at times the dream made me think I was getting it for breakfast and at other times, for an early dinner instead.

I strayed aside from the main shopping corridor and I seemed to enter some sort of luxe looking foyer of an apartment complex. The room was round and in the centre was a set of spiral stairs, on the edge of the room a block of elevators, leading to a set of what seemed like exclusive, private apartments. The dream camera then shifted, for a few seconds, to the entry door on the upper floor. It was a frosted door and it had a sign on it saying “MFF 2019” which a small picture of a clipart dog on it. The dream camera then showed some of the people lingering inside the room, I knew it was the large group of ‘American furries’ that Edward (Ed) B was also involved in.

This is the first out of two instances in the dream that I was in the little green (more light spearmint-green) round foyer. It kind of felt like I was just inspecting the space and seeing what was in there. A bit later on, I was back in the main part of the shopping centre, still by myself again though, and now I decided to have a look at some of the fashion stores that were around. Items in the stores seemed to be way fancier and of much better quality that what they sell in real life.

Later on in the dream, I seemed to be going back towards the apartment foyer area. The dream camera showed a sub-scene of one of my high school teachers, Ms. K, locking up the place. There was this energy coming from her, that she was like the custodian of the complex. But then it wasn’t just a lock up for the night. It seemed to be a lock-up because people were no longer allowed to visit the apartments for some sort of privacy reasons. There was even a sign on the elevators, above chains crossed over the doors, saying that the MFF 2019 members would have access to a different set of elevators that were somewhere in the depths of the lobby corridors. The entry to the stairs was also chained.

Then the dream scene went back to me, entering into the foyer again. I seemed to be confused; I didn’t know what was going on but then when I was in the foyer, I saw and noticed that they were no longer allowing anyone else except residents. I was now very slow, anxious and fidgety, walking around the foyer, hoping that I wouldn’t be caught out by Ms. K; for the whole scene, I felt as if I had done something wrong.

At one point, I walk nearly to the end of the circle and I look sideways, seeing a door to a common room on the same floor. I see Ms. K in the doorway but her back is turned and my heart starts pounding, yet I couldn’t move, I stood still, frozen and shaking. I then also noticed that Ed was sitting towards the doorway, so he was a bit closer to me than Ms. K, Ed was wearing a dark grey t-shirt with a light grey cap. I was also scared that if Ed turned around, he would get angry at me and something bad would happen.

Ed’s head slowly started turning and just like I was with Ms. K, I was scared for my life. He then actually got up off the ground but as that was happening, there seemed to be a complete surge of different energy coming from Ed. Although I should not have been in the foyer, he seemed to understand and know that my intention was not on purpose. So rather than being told to leave like I initially expected, Ed gently put an arm around me and slowly walked me out, his disposition and energy telling me to be at peace and carry on with my time at the shops rather than getting upset. The last scene of the dream showed me and RV walking around the shops and finally getting our McDonalds with a small packet of fries in my hands. The dream then ended.

Dream No. 635 - A Helping Hand

I don’t remember how this dream started. From where I do remember, my family and I were in this house. Although it looked nothing like, it was supposed to be the destination that we were at a family holiday for in real life. I was talking with my mum but I forgot what it was that we said. I was then outside, it was cold and the sky was grey. I was looking up into the sky and I felt empty inside, like something was missing. I realised I was missing my dream guides.

I was walking down the road, aimlessly, I saw a young man coming the opposite way. I stopped him and asked him if he could help me find my dream guides. In this dream, I could feel who I was looking for; it was Dreamy WB and 18-Volt. The man was stuttering and looked uncertain. I could feel that maybe if he went too far back, he’d get lost and sidetracked from what he was originally doing. I said to him, “If we can find them, they will take you back”, as I envisioned 18-Volt giving him an aerial lap ride.

We got close to the end of the road and there still wasn’t any sign of Dreamy WB or 18-Volt. There was a t-section though and I decided I wanted to turn left. Energy was increasing and I could feel that both of them were getting closer. However, before I could reach them, the dream forcefully changed scenes on me.

It seemed to be within the same dream environment though. I was now on my own and back at the house. I was then walking down the road with my mum and apparently we were going to meet my dad and brother at the restaurant nearby. The atmosphere in the front car-park felt eerie and like something was off yet my mum and I continued into the restaurant.

The inside of the restaurant was large and felt cosy, resembling a Mediterranean restaurant with terracotta tiles. As my mum and I were walking in, we saw a huge range of desserts through a glass display, each looking impressive. My mum and took a while choosing what we wanted to have for dessert. The dream then ended.
