    1. Miniature Highway on Kitchen Table

      by , 09-03-2011 at 06:34 PM
      Morning of September 3, 2011. Saturday.



      This dream situation and skewed perspective has been a very sparsely recurring scene, going as far back as age five (when first documented on Rose Street), though in this particular case, it was inspired more by a computer game than a toy racing track as such in the past. In most versions of this recurring concept, there is some degree of confusion in in-dream perspective (usually disembodied) over what is horizontal and what is vertical, even more so in this dream, probably due to the perspective of the computer game influence in being an “overhead view” yet viewed as vertical on the computer monitor.

      Regardless of the number of movies and television shows I have seen with overhead views seen on the vertical, this skewed perspective is not as common in (at least my own) dreams as I would expect, though I do strongly believe that a lot of screwed-up aspects of dreams have been caused by watching imagery on a television or movie screen (though again, not as much as one would expect - for example, the size orientation of even human heads when viewed on television or especially on a movie screen does not cause as many dreams about giants or tiny people as one would expect or even as much distorted perspectives as would seem reasonable otherwise - although I did notice a major change in my dreams since watching television when younger - including zooming in or zooming out, sudden location shifts becoming more common, unexpected panning, and so on).

      In this version of my dream, I am closely watching miniature cars (about half the size of a Matchbox Car) driving over the surface of the kitchen table (though back at Gellibrand Street it seems, though the setting does not seem consistent), over what looks like a set of about four miniature highways (which take up about two-thirds of the area of the tabletop). I am sometimes aware of small buildings, but they are not three-dimensional and look painted-on (and even the cars look “flat” at times). I seem to be floating around in my dream’s environment, disembodied. As is typical of this dream type, the top of the table seems to shift to where I am additionally watching a (fictional) plane that is vertical and by which the cars apparently drive up and down perpendicularly to the tabletop and somehow flip over at ninety degrees to keep driving without apparent incident. I am also aware of “real” items on our table at some points, mostly salt and pepper shakers (which we actually do not even have on the table in reality). I am also very vaguely aware of this being a part of a computer game, but it is not as defined an awareness that would otherwise trigger my lucidity. I do not experience disorientation, just an uncertainty at times of what the angle and placement is of what I am viewing; that is, whether I am looking down at a horizontal plane, or before me at a vertical plane. This has really not been all that common a viewpoint in my dreams. Also, the highway remains a highway, unlike railroad tracks in such a scenario that then sometimes become a ladder when rendered vertically.

      fragmented dream. I'm on a path for something. It's a gravel road. I decide to race someone through it. People watch us from outside like were animals.

    4. 26th Shared Dreaming Attempt ~ Nephanim

      by , 09-03-2011 at 05:27 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Nephanim's Dreams

      Recall was gradual and fuzzy this morning. I got too much sleep.

      Road Trip and Private Gas Pumps

      I was in the convertible with Nicole as she drove around the country. She insisted on driving ten miles per hour over the speed limit at a minimum, often faster than that. We pulled into a private parking lot in front of a tennis court and an apartment complex. There were self-service gas stations placed her and there in the parking lot. Nicole couldn’t get into the right position to pump the gas, so she kept having to pull around for another attempt. Eventually, she parked in a position that she deemed satisfactory, but I realized she had actually just backed into a parking space. I wasn’t sure the pump would be able to reach the car. When she got out to refuel the car, she left the engine running. I climbed halfway into the front seat to turn it off, but then I heard a woman talking to her outside.

      “You can’t park here,” the woman said. “I’m going to have to ask you to leave.”

      “I’m just getting gas,” Nicole said, waving her hands.

      “Oh… Okay then.” The woman walked away with no further comment. I sighed and turned off the car. After she filled up the tank, we drove toward Tennessee. I wasn’t sure why; Nicole wouldn’t give an explanation for our road trip across the nation.

      Burying Dogs and Halloween Festivities

      Austin, Nicole, and I took Scamper and Meg for a walk during the night. They were really able to talk. Austin got tired of listening to Scamper whine about everything, so he grabbed a shovel and started digging a grave.

      “What is this for?” I asked him suspiciously, holding both dogs’ leashes in one hand.

      “I’m burying the dogs,” he said. “It’ll be fun.” I pulled the dogs away from Austin’s hole and started looking through a dresser that was just sitting out in the yard. There were gigantic, stained briefs in one drawer… I decided not to investigate anymore.

      I had a false awakening. Nicole’s house was decorated with Halloween-themed streamers, cobwebs, and dangling skulls. Her mom came into the living room wearing a convincing skeletal reaper costume. She told us to get into our costumes before the party. Nicole gave me a costume to wear… Somehow, I didn’t realize while I was putting it on that it was basically a princess dress… Nicole’s mom came back and saw me wearing it.

      “That’s silly,” she said. “Why are you wearing a skirt?”

      “It’s a princess dress, Mom!” protested Nicole. I stared down in horror at the pink frills in the front.

      “I’m not wearing this…” I warned them both, especially Nicole. I pulled the dress off, revealing jeans and an orange T-shirt. “I’ll just dress normally.”

      “He can be the undead teenager,” suggested Nicole’s mother.

      “That’s boring!” Nicole complained. “Come on, just wear it!”

      Slaying of the Shogun (Portions omitted)

      I watched as various people interfered with each other’s private dreamworlds. Leela and Zapp Brannigan constructed a field of flowers together. Ironically, Zapp’s perception of the dreamworld was more cutesy than Leela’s. She sent him on a quest to find good entertainment. Zapp jumped down a green pipe (Mario style) and appeared before me. I advised him to look into the Muppets. As evidence of their entertainment value, I showed him a live performance. Kermit was eaten alive by a shadow monster on stage. The other Muppets turned his bloody corpse into a substance like ketchup and used it with their fries and fish nuggets. Zapp was enthralled by the sight of this and decided to get Leela immediately. When he returned to her world, she was talking with house people. They were miniature versions of cookie-cutter houses with beady eyes and toothy smiles. She ordered him to leave, but he fell to his knees in the flowers and begged her to forgive him. He started telling her about the Muppets, and she accused him of killing a dream character. Somehow, she decided the Muppets were real people – and this made it acceptable. She was opposed to the senseless murder of dream characters, however.

      The dream jumped. Nicole, Andrea, and I were investigating an invisible assassin who kept bothering Nicole in her dreams. Andrea called it a shogun. We walked into an empty diner, and Nicole waited by the door while Andrea and I went to the back of the restaurant. We found this closet area that she said would be perfect for destroying the shogun. After she closed the closet door behind us, Andrea gave a quick explanation of her plan. I was to bury my face in women’s lingerie to attract the attention of the shogun. Meanwhile, she would track down his body and prepare a weapon to slay him. We had to leave the closet and come back to get the undergarments to appear. Andrea made an attempt to summon the shogun to the closet.

      “Okay, now pretend there’s a woman here. You need to attract the shogun with your senses.” I buried my face in the blue-and-white striped panties to mislead the shogun. After a minute or two, Andrea fired some kind of blast of energy at an invisible form in the closet. The robed figure became visible as he slumped to the ground. To finish him off, she jabbed a white stake into the back of his neck. His body dissolved into shadows and disappeared again.

      “We got him!” Andrea announced. “Let’s go tell Nicole.”

      “I’ll be out there in a few minutes,” I said. Andrea gave me a weird look, but she shrugged and walked out, closing the closet door again. After a moment, my privacy was interrupted.

      “Hey!” I sat up halfway. The door was open, and Austin stood with some kind of thick manual in his hands. “Come here! Chelsea and I need to ask you a few questions, sir.”

      “About what?”

      “About the aragon.”

      “What aragon…?” I muttered. I walked out of the closet and joined him and Chelsea at the bar of the diner. They were looking at information on various magical beings in the dream realm.

      “She doesn’t understand what it means to kill an aragon,” Chelsea told Austin as we approached. I understood that it would just regenerate from the fabric of the dreamworld. An aragon was an immortal entity.

      “It wasn’t an aragon, though,” I explained. Chelsea pulled up an image of one on her laptop. It looked sort of like a monk from Tibia. Although the appearance was similar, I shook my head. “Andrea called it something else…”

      “What did she call it?” Austin asked. I couldn’t remember.

      “It was similar, but… It wasn’t aragon…” I looked through their manual for anything that looked or sounded familiar. I couldn’t find anything. Austin started telling Chelsea about a Dragonball programming language. Chelsea refused to discuss it because there were so many rules for each of the instructions offered by the language. She didn’t want to memorize that much information. I followed them at a distance into a back area of the diner that merged with my parents’ new house in Texas. The hallway leading to Chelsea’s room had been replaced with a bathroom. I asked my siblings to excuse me for a moment, handed Austin the manual, and stepped into the bathroom. I took care to lock the door. I heard voices outside... My mom called my name.

      “I’ll be out in a minute,” I replied. I saw Chelsea standing beside me. I thought I was just seeing her through the wall, but I quickly realized the wall was gone. Oma and Opa came upstairs and asked if I was ready to go.

      Neluna Isn't a Robot

      Aeolar and I were discussing our dream characters after a successful shared dream. He misread something I posted on Dreamviews about Neluna and Symphony. For some reason, he thought I said that Neluna was a robot. Having met her already, though, he knew otherwise.

      “Neluna isn’t a robot,” he reminded me. I frowned at his post. When did I say that? I glanced back at the jumbled mess of words I had just posted. Symphony’s name wasn’t mentioned anywhere. I just described her as “the robot.” For clarification, I edited the post to use Symphony’s name instead.

    5. Harry Potter Dream

      by , 09-03-2011 at 05:26 PM (High Quality Head Movies)
      It started on a train and I was with all the people from the Harry Potter series. I was Harry Potter and I acted like I was him. My wand was a short sword with a wooden blade sticking out of the handle. When we arrived at the station I learned I was in a tournament and had won the last tournament. Drako was at the station with his dad and started mocking me about how he had kicked me in the face in the past and how he was better than me. I then replied how I've beat him in every wizard dual tournament and won the previous one.
      I left to find my friends. We sat in a restaurant and the Malfoys sat right next to us. Drako was arguing with his dad and suddenly he dropped his wand and it rolled under our table. We tried to get it for him and then Jenny dropped her wand under the table and Drako complained to his father about how the wand was useless anyway. We were about to leave when I heard Voltemorts voice say someone will try to shoot Harry Potter. In this moment I floated out of Harry Potter and was like a spectator on a fps video game.
      Jenny got up and left for no reason and Harry decided to leave too but found Jenny's wand. He said he needs to find her and as he was leaving I heard Drako's dad say to Drako here son you can use my wand and Drako replied "It's about time." Harry Potter was leaving and I saw Jenny coming back and she had like an odd glare in her eyes and I saw her carrying a small pistol and I knew she was cursed. I hurried to get to Harry Potter and when I did he was going up some big stairway that led to the upper level of the train station that kinda looked like airport.
      Then, Jenny came through the hall way and had the gun. She pointed it at Harry and he tried to talk some to her and tell her not to do this but she wasn't replying. He pointed his wand at her and disarmed her pistol. She laughed and said I can just ask for another one. She looked up and held her hand up and said some stuff I didn't understand and black and red swirls of light started circling her and a gun appeared in her hand. She pointed it at him and laughed. He disarmed her again and started saying that she can resist him and needs to come back.
      She said Harry I was testing you. See? The gun was actually a black and red T.V remote control. They hugged and I thought maybe I could control him again and when he got to the upper floor, Harry and his friends sat at a table and I floated into him and I wad in control again. Nobody noticed...
      I gave Jenny her wand back and I looked at mine and was wondering what the blade on the side was for. I found out that it moved and there was a button on the handle. I turned the blade around and around and then pressed the button and it spun around like a fan and everyone at the table was amazed. I bragged, cool my wand is a wand, a sword, and a toy! A few people laughed but most were not and looked a little jealous. Then Hermione whispered "Harry, it would be better not to brag in front of your friends." Then there was some talking and then I woke up.

    7. Zombies

      by , 09-03-2011 at 04:49 PM (Robo's Dreams)
      I was on a rooftop with some buddies, we were talking. The conversation came to an Ion lazor, and suddenly I had one. I gave it a twist, and It fired a concentrated blue laser. I tested it out a bit, and before long I realized It attracted zombies (mostly due to the fact that zombies started showing up.)

      I ionized a few waves of them, but before long they started overrunning us. we got into our car and sped through the horde, I noticed some non-infected trapped with the zombies, but I didn't want to risk letting the zombies in trying to save them. I was feeling stressed at this point, so I decided to do a reality check to verify that it was all real.

      I could breathe through my pinched nose and I had 7 fingers, but it still took me about a minute to realize I was dreaming.

      End recall.

    8. Statues come to life

      by , 09-03-2011 at 04:49 PM
      I'm traveling in some European country with my friend Michael and my son Jesse. We are on some kind of bicycle type vehicle. We come to a small village and I go into an old building.

      As I enter a room I see a reclining statue of some kind of ancient warrior. It's made of green marble or jade. It's about 20 feet long. It's laying on the floor and facing away from me.

      Then I see vibrations around its feet and realize that it is moving. I go back outside and call to my son to come and see this amazing event. My son walks inside with me but now there is a green marble lion in the room with the warrior and the lion is pacing around the room.

      My son (who saw the mountain lion in waking life 3 nights ago) approaches the green marble lion. I try to stop him but he's already with the lion. Then other people enter the room and begin asking my son about the lion.

      The feeling I had after the dream was that ancient mythical forces are starting to stir, perhaps in anticipation of 2012.

    9. Lucid dream

      by , 09-03-2011 at 04:31 PM
      So, I'm walking around, and suddenly I'm like woah this is a dream! I think, I better make sure, and yep, I can breath through my nose. So then to stabilize the dream, I spin around. The dream doesn't really stabilize, so I spin around on one foot, and just keep going for a little while. Then I stop, the dream is a little dizzy, but its stabilized. Then I'm look around, and there is a couple guys I know, I'm like hey! This is a dream!!! Suddenly a look of inspiration gets on their face. I think, hey, you guys want to go somewhere? They are like Yah, Im like ok. So I get out of the dream, and reinsert myself to make it more vivid and stable. Then I get my phone out, and type "Open portal to somewhere badass", and I click the ok button. A stream of something shoots out the top AND.......nothing happens.

      I move to where I see the stream stop, and nothing is there. I'm like Fuck. Then I think for a second, turn around, and say, "This is a dream, wow we almost lost lucidity there for a second". I think again, and say, " I need to find a mirror to make this work". Then the dream ends. Poo.

    10. Moving Away

      by , 09-03-2011 at 04:26 PM (My journeys into the Dream World.)
      So this dream started out in a big neighborhood that's close to my house. I guess I had to move away from my family because of money issues. So I came outside from this house feeling very sad. I kept thinking that I probably would end up moving back. So anyways I came out into the street with some guy. The first thing I noticed was the smell. It smelt horrible, I talked to that guy about it. Then I remember going over to this skater kid's driveway. I walked up to him and he was shooting hoops. I asked him why his basketball hoop was so low and he said it was to make people happy or that it was part of a rebellion idk which one. There is a gap in my recall but I remember that there was an Egyptian temple right next to my house. So I decided to conquer it, I went in and there were two side passages that lead into the main room. So we all went in and I think we fought some monsters. So we came out and I went into my new house and felt really sad but thought that I would probably move back.


      My recall is really fuzzy on this one,

    11. 26th Shared Dreaming Attempt - Aqua's Dream

      by , 09-03-2011 at 04:22 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Aqua's Dreams:

      Dream #1: I am at my grandparents house and apparently it's my dad's birthday because people kept saying happy birthday to him. I'm sitting in the living room with a bunch of people I've never seen before. They are talking about something strange, something to do with oil. There are two guys around my age sitting on the couch, not one of them notices me and when everyone leaves I ask my dad who those people were. He said they're my 8th cousins.

      Dream #2: Dream had something to do with the state of Utah, and Atras. Can't remember anything else.

      Dream recall hasn't been too good lately because of school starting.

      - I had about 30 dreams about cats...
      - My brother stopped showing up in my dreams
      - I can continue dreams after I wake up from them and go back to sleep (I'm still working on this)
      - I upgraded the appearance (and usefullness) of my trusty katana
      - I can effectively change the setting of my dreams at will

      and more that is not important. Well, now that I'm back to stay, stay tuned for more of Okami's adventures in the dream realm!!!

    13. 26th Shared Dreaming Attempt

      by , 09-03-2011 at 04:02 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      MatrixMaster92's Dreams:
      Hey guys , sorry I haven't been participating much the past month or so. I've just started college and have been very busy but last night I managed a LD and had some interesting dreams so here they are:

      #1:[Lucid]
      I was walking around a large mansion style house. I had just left a room where I was organizing some college papers. I had grabbed a large bike on display in the mansion and was carrying it around (lol). I was talking to a friend and realized it was a dream. My friend had a white face that looked like it was made of porcelain or something. I inspected him closely and said, "Man, you look wierd!". It looked like a Phantom of the Opera mask. Then I went outside through the front door of the mansion. I saw a small poster stuck to a wall up about 11 feet of the ground. It looked like it had Einstien on it and I got excited about what it might say. I tried to float up to it or fly to it but found myself feeling very heavy. That caused me to lose my focus and I lost my center and the dream faded out.

      #2 [non-lucid]
      I was sitting in a green grass field maybe beside a pond. I was trying to organize my notebook again (lol college spilling into my dreams) when a person came up to me. I felt that they were an old friend that I knew very well. It was one of those experiences where you feel like you have different memories and experiences while in the dream compared to waking life. She said she wanted to have dinner with me at the diner nearby. I said something like, "Oh, I think I ate breakfast there earlier but it doesn't matter". Dreams like this make me think about why the dreaming mind often seems like a different one from waking.
    14. Tied up

      by , 09-03-2011 at 03:57 PM
      I was outside, in my underwear. in my dream body that is well toned.

      I was on a side walk, the sidewalk was bumpy in texture, grass, trees and a house that I never saw before was in front of me. Thee was an odd air of peace and tranquility about the place.

      I had a brother in the dream, unlike real life. My bother walked up to me with two lengths of rope, one for my hands and another for my feet. My brothers appearance was not remembered.

      He tied my hands behind my back and he tied my feet. He then tied the two ropes together and I was hogtied, why I let my brother do this to me I don't know.

      The ropes felt tight and I couldn't get free. Suddenly I had to go to the bathroom. I lost control and peed myself.

      Suddenly, I was free and in a void of some place and I thought to myself, "wow, dreams feel very realistic.", as if I was half lucid the whole time.



      WHAT THE HELL WAS ON MY MIND WHEN I WENT TO BED!!!!!

    15. Party and Participants

      by , 09-03-2011 at 03:47 PM
      I dreamed that I was on a bus heading towards some far away location (On the Isle of Wight, where I live, the furthest place from my house is a town called Ventnor. I have a feeling that this was the location in my dream).

      It was late at night and so outside the bus, with its bright lights running down the interior, it was extremely dark. We were near the sea at this point - it was just beyond the houses and shops in front of the bus. By these houses I could see a friend of mine and her boyfriend, who I never got along with. My friend, Tash, waved and I waved back. However the bus wasn't going to get any closer to the sea and it turned right and carried on down that road.

      I don't remember getting off the bus but suddenly I was entering a house. The house was dark and dingy like most places in my dreams. In this house were my friends Fred and Hannah. They were hosting a party in this house and in some of the rooms I passed, I saw other participants. Most of them were on a sofa or floor with duvets and pillows. I sat on the floor on some pillows and a duvet. There was a laptop on the floor in front of me. The screen was bright compared to everything else. It was extremely big and chunky and seemed to be on four legs like a table. That's all I can remember.
