    1. Wanna have a garbage dream? Train station is your place ;)

      by , 07-03-2011 at 06:27 AM (Have a look...into my subconscious mess)
      Non-Dream/Lucid/Non-Lucid

      DREAM 1: I was in a train station. I suddenly though of doing an RC. After realizing I'm dreaming, I didn't actually tried to accomplish one of my dream goals, but to look at my surroundings to see what my dream looks like. I looked at an analog clock. It looked really weird and unreal. It didn't had any numbers from 1 to 5 except for 3 which looked more like 3,5.
      DREAM 2: I was at my computer, talking to a bud. He was playing a game that he didn't wanted to give me and I really wanted it cos I was bored and had nothing to play.


      This dream was very faded and unclear...its unclarity almost made me vomit!
      I really need to make my dreams more vivid.

    3. 7/2/2011 - I make a barricade

      by , 07-03-2011 at 05:39 AM (TheNinja's Dream Journal)
      Dream 1:
      I remember building a long barricade out of rusty metal in a field. At one point my old band director gives me a spool of razor wire to add to the barricade, and tells me that its razor sharp andto handle it very carefully.

    5. WILD Attempt

      by , 07-03-2011 at 02:13 AM
      I decided to try a real WILD while the kid was napping. I used reverse blinking to help me relax and focused on my breathing, repeating the mantra, "I am lucid, The world is vivid." I could feel my body twitching but I don't remember transitioning into the dream. I was suddenly aware that I was showing my hubby an online video of some cute little babies. There were three babies and they were playing, then I realized that they were in a house that looked a lot like mine. I thought maybe they just live in a similar trailer (I mean mobile homes mostly have the same layout). Then I noticed the couch in the video was the EXACT same. I was starting to freak out a little, thinking I had been sent a video from the future. I started to awaken and before I opened my eyes realized that I was just tricked by the dream.

      I opened my eyes for just a sec and closed them again, hoping to DEILD, if that's the right term for it. Soon after I was in another dream and I was sitting on the floor by the bookshelf. My son was asleep and my inlaws were at my house. They were acting strange towards me and I realized I had no shirt on, only my shorts and my bra. I felt embarassed and told them sorry over and over that I hadn't realized I had taken my shirt off. They laughed at me and again I started to wake up and realized I was dreaming when it was too late. =/

      Then my son woke up, lol.

    6. Day 19- 7/2/11

      by , 07-03-2011 at 01:22 AM
      Dream 1- I am with my brother at his friend's house who I've never met. His mom tells him that he has to drive me to my house, which is an hour away. Even though he doesn't know me, he has no problem doing this. It is nighttime, and I supposedly watch the "entire fifth season of Pokemon" in the car ride.
      I am now home in my brother's room on my computer, listening to Led Zeppelin's "Nobody's Fault but Mine" on vinyl. After a while, the song warps and goes slow-motion. I use a giant plunger device to try to get the RPM's back to normal. Somehow this takes me to a random warehouse, where my friend Ben complimented me on my movie knowledge.
      I wind up in a gas station, where they announced that two brands of cigarettes contained deadly poison.

      Dream 2- I am in the bonus room of my house, when my parents send me a text message saying "We're moving." They tell us to pack enough for a week. Of all my family, I seem to be the only one who finds this decision sudden. (Though I still do not become lucid.) I go to my room to pack. I remember being excited to watch Princess Monoke, which I have not yet seen. I wore a cool purple Sublime t-shirt. When I looked out the window, I saw planes and trucks in our driveway.
      The next morning, I got up and went with a random assortment of relatives and friends to Starbucks. A few went inside, but I picked a table outside and ordered a pizza. (I made a pizza yesterday in waking life.) Me and whichever relative/friend was eating with me finished and went to sit on a curb at the end of a parking lot. Here, a team of strong looking people who seemed to have ties to all of our pasts showed up, and picked fights with me and my companions. I fought one who looked a bit like the Raikage from Naruto. My fight was sort of shounen style, and my opponent claimed to have always "had my back" throughout our childhood or something like that. He made a lunge for my back, but I dodged and defeated him. It turns out everyone one my team won, but the losers just went and sat on the other side of the parking lot. In fact, I walked right past them on my way to a drinking fountain, and they didn't make any moves. One of my relative/friends criticized my sense of direction, and we returned to my house. (Maybe we aren't moving?)
      It is now about mid-afternoon, and everyone was gone except for my brother upstairs and myself. My grandma on my mom's side of the family showed up at our front door with a random upper-classman from my high school that neither my brother nor I had known very well at all. She complimented him on his sporting achievements. I now go on my deck alone, and see a cut scene of BillyBob Thornton standing on my very deck, calling everything "blossoms". I light a cigarette, and smoked for a while. After I walked back inside, I realized that I never smoked, and this must be a dream.I did the nose plug RC, and realized I could breathe. Unfortunately, everything went black immediately. I found this strange considering how calm I was about my lucidity. I opened my eyes in my bed, did the same RC, and realized I was awake.

    7. Day 18- 7/1/11

      by , 07-03-2011 at 12:57 AM
      My family was going up north. We arrived at a pretty nice cottage we must have been renting. It is late, and I watch some terrible Lord of the Rings parody on a portable DVD player in bed. The next morning, I wake up in my bed (no longer in cottage) with my mom standing over me, glaring. She says I took the tape with our home videos and taped over them with a Rage Against the Machine CD. Before I even have time to explain myself, she storms downstairs. I know I didn't do it, but she refuses to believe me. I leave my room, and my brother tells me that he was the one who made the tape. He walks downstairs, and hands my parents a remote control looking device. He wrote "I have no" over the power button, and taped over all of our videos. (FYI, the remote now says "I have no power"). Now all of my parents anger towards me was directed towards my brother. My parents sat me down on our stairs. My mom apologized, and I half-heartedly accepted.
      I am now with my brother, my friend Tyler, and a friend of theirs I've never met before. We are at a pretty classy outdoor restaurant. It is their friend's birthday. My brother tells me he is trying to think of more ways to mess with our parents, and that I should help him. We start to form teams for some form of game. I check my phone, and see two missed calls from my friend Ryan. I realize I was supposed to pick him up four hours ago. I call him, and he doesn't answer. I wake up.

    8. DJ 1 - exciting beginnings

      by , 07-02-2011 at 11:06 PM
      june 29 - second night of practicing dream recall

      awake
      thoughts
      dreams

      It's around 9 and I have my headphones in; sleeping in the living room
      I wake around 11:45 and try recalling any dreams. I rewind the song to just before I woke and listen.
      I remember something about Spock. I know this wasn't the main focus of the dream, but this is all I can recall.
      I decide to head back to sleep...

      My sister has just come home and I wake and check out the clock; it's around 11:55. Damnit and I had just gotten to sleep. I dont expect to recall anything from 10minutes of sleep. Then it hits me. I dont know if it was from earlier that night, or actually within the 10

      I'm having dinner with friends. I have never seen any of them, but I know that we are good friends. There are maybe 6 of us. There is this one, beautiful red headed girl with long wavy hair. I think she had some crazy piercings and a plug on one side.
      the lot of us get up to leave and I realize that all the tables in the restaurant are empty, save for personal belongings. I walk over to a table and check through a purse. Along the walls there are booth seats; this is where all the diners from the tables went. Everyone is dressed formally and I just realized I went through some lady's purse as she's staring at me. We continue out of the restaurant...
      ...skip...
      ...for some reason our group is lurking around the hedges out front of the restaurant.
      this is all very alice in wonderland. We come across some cavernous areas leading to an ice covered passageway. I ride it down like a slide...
      I wind up in some tropical area enclosed by a mountainous range. The dream is now a sort of game that I am playing where I have to save these native villagers from something. I'm failing hard at this game.

      This is where the dream ends. I close my eyes and go back to sleep

      I'm at the local university, but my computer station from work is there. My friend wants the code to log on. I decline and he leaves.
      I log on and suddenly my monitor is displaying some forum about downloads and my friend wants help with it

      Wake
      back to sleep
      I show up late to a chinese restaurant. An old group of friends is waiting for me. My larger friend orders a bunch of those Red Lobster biscuits. This is great. Wait, why do they even have these..?
      Wake

      well, that was odd
      but i'd say an awfully good start

      I am going to try some B6 tonight and see how that goes
    9. Downey, Your Lines Are...

      by , 07-02-2011 at 10:44 PM
      Type: Regular dream.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

      Notes:
      Last night, I wrote out my intentions to become lucid and end up on top of an airport building during the day, but instead I wound up on top of a city building at night. The lucid part didn't really turn out well either. But the "lines" in question were actually lines that I was planning on using in an upcoming MDP dream, further down the road. The words weren't exact, but they were pretty close to what I wanted to use. I guess that's proof that constantly thinking about something will have it end up in your dreams. This dream was cool because I told a DC some lines they would be saying as part of a story, as well as my own lines. Shortly after they said their first line, I forgot my own, but they reminded me what it was. And they were correct.

      It was night, and I was kneeling up on top of a taller building with Robert Downey Jr..

      The building was square-shaped on top, only about 10x10 feet, which probably wouldn't have been able to exist in real life. There was a taller building, the same shape, coming up against two adjacent sides of the building we were on, rising up past us by about least 10 feet. Past the building we were on, and the two beside us, were many other city structures that went off into the distance, creating a vast layout of buildings that looked incredibly realistic. I looked down.

      On the ground was a long road going right past the front of our building, which branched off into a few smaller roads. Sidewalks lined both sides of this road, and right next to the sidewalks were more buildings, one of which had a half-circle shaped "deli" sign made from polished brown wood and basic yellow-painted text.

      Since it was dark - the night sky was the deepest, darkest possible shade of blue in which you could still tell that it was actually blue - the whole city had a dark tone to it in terms of hues and shades. The street was lit by a few lights that didn't appear to be visible, and had a very warm, orange and pale red vibe, as if you were driving on that certain highway, one that's lit by street lights, at night. Our building had a paler, more bluish tone. The top of the building we were standing on was made of that tan or greyish asphalt stuff that was pressed down into a flat surface, which was fairly realistic.

      So we were essentially sitting there. I was down on one knee with my arm resting on the other one, just surveying the area. Robert was sitting against one of the buildings right up against the one we were on.

      "Come here," I told him, migrating to the edge of the building but still keeping a good few inches away from the edge. He quickly walked over and sat down next to me, the same distance as I was from the edge.

      "Downey, I'll give you your lines now. First you're going to say, rather dejectedly, they're still not going to stop. Nothing's changed. Then I'll say, keep trying. They're tired and uncertain now."

      He nodded. "Okay."

      "Then, I can see that. I'll try again. My last line will be, I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Got it?

      Again, he nodded his head and then got up, looking over onto the street. I too leaned over, still half-seated, and saw a few police cars parked half a block down the street, the red and yellow lights on the top of their cars flashing around and around.

      Robert Downey Jr. shrugged and started to say the lines, slightly different but still very similar to what I'd told him to say. "They won't stop." A brief pause and, "nothing is different."

      I turned to him to reply, opened my mouth, and totally blanked. I could remember my mind racing, trying to remember, but I couldn't. He then caught my eye and held his hand out in a gesturing motion. "Keep..." and looked at me expectantly.

      "Keep trying, they're tired and uncertain now."

      "Good. I can see that. I'll try again."

      Then he started to turn around and walk away. My gaze followed him for an instant and then I looked back to the police cars.

      I woke up.

    10. Corpse in the woods

      by , 07-02-2011 at 09:04 PM
      I dreamt about waking up at 11:45 (and had to be at my work at 12:00) so I panicced around, trying to make someone take my shift, but couldn't. I couldn't get on the bus in time either.
      Today I actually had to go to work at 12:00, but I woke up in time luckily :-)

      Then later i dreamt about finding a maggot infested body in the woods. Not sure if it's a part of the other dream.
      More detailed; I walked on a trampled path in a field of tall grass, showing a person where the body was. We moved some planks with nettles, and found a supposed old, rotten and dead woman with a coat on and a massive bulge on her back. Maggots, flies and leeches were crawling all over her. The person I showed her to, lifted her up and walked away with her.



      Side notes: It seems that lately, I've been dreaming about stuff that could happen/go wrong the next day if I've been nervous about it.
      Another example is that the day before my oral english exam, I dreamt that I went through alot of awkward trouble and turned up 15 minutes late for it. Very related to this. I should start doing reality checks every time something goes wrong (I'm clumsy).
    11. Dream Journal 7/2/2011

      by , 07-02-2011 at 08:08 PM
      been a loooong time since i last wrote in my dream journal, but i've been remembering my dreams a lot lately, so here it goes

      first dream i remember was that i was still in school. kevin yun came over to my house with someone else and they were in my room. i remember kevin being super annoying, jumping on my bed and crap and blasting hella loud music, making me embarrassed to have them over. i then had to go to school but kevin was ditching and was staying at my house. i was just like ugh. then i remember facebooking it LOL saying "never letting kevin stay at my house again" and i got like thousands of likes and comments saying they never will either. i then woke up like it was a nightmare for some reason.

      second dream, i was in bed with my supposed girlfriend. i went over to kiss her on the forehead, and then that turned into making out and foreplay. felt super real... lol. then all of a sudden i hear like police outside, and then im on the run trying to get away from the police as i take my girlfriend with me. we did twists and turns and went through secret doorways until we lost them. we eventually stopped at some crowd to blend in. i think we met some friends there. this felt like a recurring dream, because all of a sudden the police started lining up all the people they arrested and ordered them to go to this place to get shots. they said if you know your on the list you better go with them, so i went. but i never got the shot lol. i felt like i had had this dream before for some reason, but im not sure.

      third dream i remember, was being in this weird enclosed hallway. whoah wait a sec, major dream recall just happened. there was this guy, who was very sad i think i remember.. he was at the cemetery. something like that, trying to solve the answer to how someone died. a girl sees him there and falls in love with him. then dream switches to me and him and alvin in the hallway. the guy accuses alvin of killing his friend. then as he's in the middle, and alvins at the end and im at the other end, i raise my gun at him and say "confess, you killed him." alvin raises his gun as well. he starts walking towards me and i shoot, he backs away, i say "don't move... CONFESS!" he starts moving towards me, i shoot again, he backs away. then, he starts moving again, i shoot, but he keeps walking like he doesnt die. eventually i run and he tries to stab me with a knife. i counter it and take the knife from him and stab him but he still doesnt die. the dream then switches from being dark and suspenseful to something like a video game. i then decide i just want to leave so i do. turns out we were in some park. i went inside their mall thing cause i was hungry, and then i remembered that i had a disneyland gift card for $20 that i left at home so i cursed myself. i was around looking for something to drink, but i realized i already had a jumbo dr.pepper in my hand. i met ian on the way. i remember seeing my brother complain to someone on the phone about what they wanted him to buy (strawberry pizza o_O). i passed chipotle and went into the tostito store or something like that, where they had a whole bunch of i forgot what it's called.. mexican eggroll things lol. all different kinds of flavors. i met ate there, and she said hans loved meatballs lol. then the dream switches to me back at home saying bye to alvin and shenel and kalvin.

      I was at WL with some people. We were playing tag for some reason and I was searching for a place to hide. I found this candy shop. It was kind of like in a video game, where if you're not allowed to go into a certain place, it's like there's an invisible box around it that you can't go through. It was like that for me. I decided then that there was a piece of wood as the barrier in the doorway. I grabbed it and bent it so that I could go through. Then I was in the candy shop.

      The candy was stored very high along the walls. I somehow climbed up, both to hide but also to grab some candy. Then MA was there, apparently "it", and trying to tag me. I kept climbing up and up and meanwhile stuffing candy into my bag for later.

      I think eventually MA started climbing too, and I couldn't climb away fast enough. I think she ended up tagging me.

      Then I was suddenly on some ride, or getting ready to go on one. There was a complicated pathway involving many stairs and sitting on an actual rollercoaster to get to it.

      After that I was at a bus stop, but it was the one outside my old school on AN Street. I was trying to call AR because apparently she was still in WL and had my bag. The bag had all the candy I had taken and I was worried that someone was going to find out and I would be in trouble. I kept trying to call her on my old cellphone. I then tried texting her, but my screen kept cutting off words and was not showing anything properly. Then I woke up.

      I was at first on a bus. It was some bus that was supposed to take me to school I guess. It was one of those orange school busses. It was driving around in my old neighbourhood in the back streets, and the school (which was apparently my current school) was where JN station is. I remember seeing Mrs. B. on the bus.

      We arrived at my "school", which was just some really random building. It was sort of modern-styled but also sort of childish; the rooms were all shades of blue with bright red trims.

      I remember sitting in a room with some friends. AL was across from me along with another girl that was her friend and a blonde boy. She was talking about the boy and saying he looked like someone. I then told her it was like a mix of PA and two other guys I forget. She started squealing and saying that it would be so hot. I just laughed and went along with it, but I didn't agree at all.

      There was something to do with Crunch chocolate bars. I had like 6 of them in my bag for some reason. I took one out and it magically became a Crunchie bar. I was a little disappointed at first but it tasted good so I kept on eating it.

    14. On The Run

      by , 07-02-2011 at 06:56 PM (Enter the mind of Ladendais)
      Non-lucid

      My memory picks up whilst riding around town with one of my old friends cousins and he is not exactly a law abiding citizen. We drive around until we think that it would be a good idea to stop by a local gas station to pick up something to drink. We get to the gas station, and he goes inside while I stand outside next to the car. I am texting on my phone, casually looking up every now and then because I seen some pretty good looking ladies standing across the way at the gas station. There are about three of them, and the next thing I know two of the girls walk away and one of them walks toward me. She instantly sparks a conversation and leads me over to the entrance of the gas station. This is where I find out that the girls are not single, and they have about three guys with them. She purposefully led me into a trap.

      I am standing in front of the gas station door now, with three other guys starring me down. They all look pretty pissed off and I begin to think that there is no other way to get out of this, other than to fight them. I throw the first punch and it makes its mark, while the two other guys jump on me and start throwing punches. Out of nowhere a person that I have not seen in years came from the back area of the gas station where the cars are supposed to be fueling, and he started in on the fight. At about that time, my old friends cousin came out of the gas station and noticed that a fight was going on so he decided to help as well. The guys were now losing pretty badly, and eventually all three of them where knocked out or laying on the ground in pain. I think about the police.

      As soon as the fight is over, the friend I haven't seen in years runs up to me and I tell him that we need to get out of there now because the police will be here soon. My friends cousin jumps in the car and takes off, so we take to the back of the gas station and run through a field headed toward my old apartments. This field is very overgrown with various weeds and such, and I tell him it would be best to just make a mad dash through the middle of the field so the weeds will give us cover. We both begin to run, and we soon end up at my old grandpa's house some how. We run through the back door, and into the house, which is very dark and no one is home. I seem to know at this point that my grandpa no longer lives there. We run out of the front door, and my friend wants to go back into the house to lock the door for the home owners. I tell him that we do not have the time to do that, and I remind him that we need to keep running. He goes back anyway, locks the door, and exits the porch. Just as he jumps off of the porch, the owner drives down the street and sees him jumping off of his property.

      He is driving a dark red vehicle, and it is a rather old car. It had apparently just finished raining outside, so the streets were wet and he instantly slammed on his breaks and spun out. He had his wife in the right seat, and he was in the drivers seat on the left side. You could hear him yelling out of his window after he seen us begin to run when he spun out. He instantly slammed the car into reverse and caught up with us down the road. I was on the right side of the street, and my friend was across the road from me. The man got out of his car, and he was fairly old. I see that he is brandishing a shotgun, and he is starting to shoot at my friend. We keep running hard until we get to the end of that road, and an intersection leads off to the right, left, and it also continues forward. To the left is a town, and to the right is country. My friend runs to the right, to avoid the shotgun bullets. I choose the forward path for whatever reason, and I am now being hit slightly by shotgun spray. Just in front of me, continuing forward, is a rather large church, and beyond that is a gravel road that leads to a bridge.

      Since I was being hit by shotgun spray, I thought that it would be a good idea to pick up a large street sign, and cover my back with it whilst I was on the run. I do that, and I keep running toward the bridge. When I get to the bridge, the old man pulls up in his car just behind the start of the concrete that the bridge is made of and he gets out of his car. I try to keep my cool, and he holds the shotgun up to my body. He yells something that made sense then, but I cannot honestly remember exactly what it was. He then shoots the shotgun and misses, so I take my chance to grab the end of the shotgun with my left hand, and I point it away from me while I punch him in the face with my other hand. He ends up letting go of the shotgun, and I now have it under my control. I aim it at his lower half, and I fire the gun. It instantly blows off the entire lower portion of his body, and he is now crawling around screaming at me. I then proceed to shoot him in the face, and he is still not dead. Guts are hanging out of his mouth, and he is crawling toward the bridge and I casually think to myself "Good hide yourself" as I begin to worry about my finger prints on the gun.

      I begin to wipe down the trigger area, and the barrel of the gun with my shirt. I know that this might not be too efficient, so I begin to look for some sort of gasoline to rub the gun down with. I find an old canister of gas just to the right of where the bridge starts in an oddly wooded area. I pick up the can and walk back to the bridge, where I see a helicopter flying very low to the ground just above where I shot at the old man. The pilot is in clear view, and I decide that I should shoot at him as well. I take three or so shots at him, and he begins to fly away into the distance. I then take my shirt off, and soak it with gasoline and then I rub down the gun in a hasty fashion, making sure to get all of the points where my fingers would have been touching the most. Just after I throw the gun off of the side of the bridge, I awake.

      I am at my grandma’s house again in the dream. My mom, dad and I walk outside to the backyard. I make a comment about the deck not being there anymore and why did they take it down. Of course I do not get an answer as the mom and dad DCs are more melted into the bk at this point and just a thought in my head about them being there. I look around the yard and see some more DCs a ways up in the yard. I get really mad and run up to them to tell them to get out, but see there is a little mini golf course on the side of the house. I hate this idea because it is my grandma’s house and there are people in the yard that sound not be there even if it is open to the public.

      I deiced to go back into the house when I see two girls start walking though the yard where no public is allowed. I run up to them and yell they are not meant to be in that part of the yard, but they just laugh and continue to walk towards the house and the side door. Once to the door they walk into the house without pausing. I run in the house after them looking for some male dc I remember from the beginning of the dream and tell him to call the police because someone is in the house, I then run down the stairs after the girls. When I get down stairs I check every room I can, but only see bathrooms 4 bathrooms to be exact. The first two I do not think anything of it as it is a big house and a big down stairs, when I open the third door and see another one I question why they are all side by side. When I open the forth door and see another bathroom I stop and say wtf this makes not sense. I take a few steps and think about continuing on with the dream just shaking my head at the layout of the house, but then I stop and say you know what I bet this is a wtf I’m dreaming moment, so I do the nose pinch RC and sure enough I am dreaming.

      I am lucid for only a moment before the dream fades to white fuzzy mist and I feel myself start to wake. I get upset because I do not want to wake up and then remember something I read about trying to stabilize the dream by engaging all your sense. So I bring my right hand up to feel my face, while I try to make my left hand feel the wall. This works for only a moment so I think to myself about trying to force my dream eyes open again. I get them a little open, but only fall into a FA.

      The only thing I remember about the FA is telling hubby about the dream and how I was so close to becoming lucid and staying in the dream. I then slipped into another dream which I do not remember.
