All DJ Entries

Had pretty poor dream recall again last night, I'm pretty tired at the moment so can't really get pen to paper in time. Hopefully this weekend I'll have something of an REM rebound though!

On the bright side I almost had an accidental WILD when going to sleep. I was doing a lot of deep breathing (as I read about underbreathing during the day) and this really relaxed me. Before I knew it I had the floating sensation and I could feel my eyes zipping around. Probably didn't work as this was right at the start of the night.

This is a very sketchy dream, more a fragment:

I'm in a car, ask some people tp help me, one person does and I say to him "Aren't you glad you're helping me and not that lot. Then there was something about a cherry clafoutee.

After my last entry, I took 400 mg Caffeine, went to the store, came home and spoke to hubby on the phone for an hour, and then I fell... YEP... and then I fell right back to sleep.
For awhile, I kept waking up every few minutes and then drifting back out.

THe dream I had was a strange one. The only DC who was a real person was my Uncle Troy.
At first, I was gathering ingredients for making pizza. A local Food Lion was giving away free food samples if you had a store card, so I kept going there. I told friends and relatives about the deal, so they started showing up.
The dream somehow became my FB game City of WOnder and it was oddly and literally a layered world.
It's hard to recall the beginning part of the dream. I was gathering supplies and buying and selling things with my neighbors. I was fortifying and upgrading troops. At some point, I was climbing a wall with another person or 2 (?) and we went forward in time. All I recall is seeing a dragon on one level and warriors battling one another. I couldn't access one area, so I looked for some way down. Behind the wall were rungs and at one spot, a tunneled type section going down. I went through it and was blasted by fire. I lost a bunch of hit points lol then braced between sections which were cemented as another blast came.
I eventually made it out and back to the "real world" where I continued gathering ingredients for some pizza.
I went to family members but a few of them shunned me because of my children. This real world was layered as well and also like some huge trailer park. My Uncles children were mean to mine, so he sent them to sit in the car. But his wife treated me meanly even though I made cookies for her younger children.
Alcohol came into play somehow, but I no longer remember.

I woke up, went to the restroom, and as I type this, I can barely keep my eyes open. The feeling that I am trapped in a dream is as strong as ever. Maybe I'm finally having an emotional/mental breakdown or something lol
At any rate, most of the last dream was inspired by playing City of Wonder right before I fell to sleep. There's a new Workshop building that allows you to gather supplies from your neighbors to create "unique" buildings.
I think I may leave and walk around Wal-mart for an hour or so, so I can be sure to be awake to wake my kids up for school. If I stay home I'm just going to go right back to sleep.
How the hell is it possible to sleep as much I have been and yet still be SO tired?

I've just had a job interview and now I'm at a kind of house party, which looks like it's confined to one room. There's some questionable stuff going on, and I tell them I'm not down with it, I'm not into that. I think it's going to be cool, after that but not so much. They look really put out and take me to the bus station. They ditch me there, even though it's not a familiar place to me, and take off.

I get some sort of general idea where my bus is going to be departing from when I hear the platform and arrival of the bus announced through the station. I race to that platform only to find the bus is not there. I run all up and down the platforms looking for the bus that should be here somewhere. I then see it leaving. Someone tells me I should run after it, but I know they won't open the doors after they've left the stop, so I don't bother.

I begin wandering around the station aimlessly looking for the right platform for the next departure. I sit down in some kind of lounge and watch the big screen tv they have there, it's broadcasting the performance of a very special figure skater. She lands a perfect triple toe loop followed by some sort of Lutz, and I absolutely melt down because I'm so happy and overcome with emotion as she does (This is strange as I am NOT a figure skating fan, and for a split second in the dream I wonder how I have all this knowledge and passion for skating, but it passes quickly). My phone rings and I pick it up, trying to compose myself. It's the interviewers. They were interviewing me for the position of Coordinator for the skater I was just watching. They tell me I have the job. They say they were watching me over CCTV and saw my reaction to the skater's performance and deduced that I would be the perfect choice to work with her.
I am so happy I begin melting down again and the dream ends.

i get it now

all i need is an exit strategy

Mountain, locals, friend, bus, transportation,

Yet another dream fragment. I vaguely remember being in a mall and exploring all the different shops. I was with some family and other random people. The mall didn't really stick out per se, but I do remember it snowing outside and seeing white clouds when I looked up through a skylight.

Well, at least I am remembering one dream per night now, even if it is short.

DELETED

Blah. I went right back to sleep after my last entry and I just woke up.

I dreamed I was at a large club. Anyone could dance on a pole if they paid the boss $4.00 But when I tried I couldn't get a movie to exit and my song "It Can't Rain all the Time" to load. Then some kids showed up and got to play on the pole and I was kind of hacked off because I really wanted to use it.
I was wearing some sort of old gown and the whole atmosphere was 1800-something.
Someone went missing and I tried to help search for them.
A friend had recently given birth and the baby was adorable (but much too small). She asked when I was going to have another kid and I said it was bound to be soon.
Then I went to the restroom and stayed there for 2 hours. There was a little girl with her mom in the bathroom. She kept trying to put on blush. I put on some foundation and other makeup but it wouldn't spread correctly and I kept trying to wipe and wash it off. When I came out, hubby was waiting and severely ticked.
Then the dream changed and my kids came into my room and were standing near my bed. They said the ran into my hubby who was worried I was sleeping so much, so he was coming over to check on me, just to make sure I was alright.
My house is dirty and I do everything to keep hubby in his house, so I woke right up lol

Now I need to go to the store.

Was making it with one, though not well.
Got a call from another.

At a place like home but different. My brother is telling visitors to our company how I'm the best and most knowledgeable in my job. I feel embarrassed and dont know what to say. I feel myself shrugging and making faces.*

I am sleeping incredibly too much. I took 50 mg Seroquel and 200 mg Caffeine before going before the Magistrate at 10:15 this morning.
When I got home at around 11:30 I was so stinking sleepy that I took another 200 mg Caffeine. By 12:30, I gave up and laid back down. I fell asleep right away.

My dreams started off sort of strange. I was in some sort of large garage/house, though I left several times with my ex-hubby. I was assembling a video game and was looking for pictures from nature to integrate. A lot of the images came from clouds, but I traveled islands of the world which looked more fantasy than real and I found many clues about my quest.

I was assembling all the data at the garage/house. Downstairs, some man was reclining in a chair with his head out a window. He seemed annoyed, at first, by my ex and I talking. THen 5 pitbulls got loose. They were being kept somewhere downstairs by the owner, bt a door had been left open. Ex, guy and I tried rounding them all up to put back. I was afraid of them at first, but they were giant pussycats.
The guy said he had to leave soon because the dogs were setting off his allergies. Then he wondered aloud why his own dog doesn't both him.
In some wide, open area a guy was laying down holding layers upon layers of wood paneling above his chest. The dogs were under the wood, surrounding him, laying down with him, but the weight was too much and his grip kept slipping. I thought they'd all be squashed.

Then the dream changed somewhat and as I was assembling the game (or whatever it was), I found a webpage by my 15 yo daughter. Strangers were concerned and told me to get ahold of her regarding some of the info she posted.
But then I was beside her. We spoke about her goals and she wanted to work at some particular restaurant. At first I was against it and I told her she would never be hired because she's too young to serve alcohol. But then our roles were reversed and I explained her age didn't matter because the company could have another person sell such beverages. Then I tried explaining I wouldn't be able to visit her because my license was suspended.

At some point, I was in a tunnel and a great crowd was passing. At the end, I noticed some in the crowd were holding up a coffin. THen I noticed a suspicious character and right before a bomb went off two officers shielded my ex and I.

I woke up to my phone ringing. My 15 yo was calling me I had to repeat everything I had told her in the dream lol.
My license HAS been suspended since January for failure to pay Court Fines.

I've been awake now for almost an hour and I'm still so sleepy I can barely keep my eyes open. WTH? It's been like this for a couple of days now. I feel like I'm still dreaming- in fact, it feels like I'm stuck in a dream that I need to fall asleep in, in order to wake up. The world goes so slowly. I just cannot keep my eyes open.
It's actually pretty freaky.

I woke up in my bedroom and my husband was lying next to me, still asleep. A voice told me that they would explain why I no longer had the vivid dreams that I had most of my life. (IRL I have had frequent, vivid dreams my whole life, but a few years back, I stopping remembering all but some very lame dreams with no plot. I want my dreams back) Then, a transparent screen appeared in the middle of the room that took up most of the room. The voice said "This is the dream your husband is having now. Then a small screen appeared right in front of me. It was about the size of a computer screen and had several small pictures on it like you might see in a google image search. The voice said "These are the dreams that you had last night." "Notice how much smaller they are than his dream." I looked over the images and put my hand through the image of a golden retriever. The dream played and was over in a few seconds. There was nothing worth remembering in it. The voice then explained that because my husband was now having such large dreams, there was not enough room for me to have large dreams too. The dreams that I saw in front of me were as big as they could get next to my husband's big dreams. The dreams that I used to have were even bigger than the dream that my husband was having and that is why they were so vivid and real to me. At that time my husband could not remember any of his dreams.

I float up out of my bed. I see a bunch of demons around me. They look benevolent. hmmm..

I walk to the mirror, and see my demon face in it. I laugh. He reaches through and grabs me. I am yanked into another dream... a Colloseum in Hell.

I battle my demon self, and kick his ass, then I absorb him.

I go to the Hades where Raven, Angel, and I (one more person, I forgot who) are rulers of it.

I make the templars pick more flowers for a hellish bouquet of DOOM.

Raven reminds me we are supposed to go see the Big Guy.

We go, he says I am infected.

We do healing in the Glen.

A bunch of red and dark energy parasites squirm out, and are eaten by lizards and toads.

I was in a museum in front of the entrance to an interactive nature exhibit. I noticed how worn the entrance looked and was prepared for the whole exhibit to be run down. Once I entered, I was delightfully surprised how nice it was inside. They used real plants and it was landscaped like I was really outside on some country trail. I was my bike and looking around at all the wonderful detail. Then I spotted some grapes growing on the side of the path. I turned my head back to look at them while I continued to peddle my bike forward. Then I realized that I was off the trail. The bike fell out from under me and I grabbed a handful of vines so I wouldn't fall as well. The vines had covered a cliff. I thought how careless it was for me to let this happen. I tried to climb back up on the trail, but the dirt from the embankment crumbled in my hands. I was only able to hang on by the vines. Just then, someone on a bike was approaching. I asked him if he could help me. He peered over the cliff and asked me what I needed. I told him I needed help getting back up on the path. He said " Then why aren't you screaming for help". I told him that I thought I could get up by myself and when I realized that I couldn't, he came along. He said "If you really need help, you should be screaming". I asked him if he would help me. He said "OK, but I doubt it will do any good." He then shouted at some bikers up on the ridge. "Hey, someone is hanging from the ridge and can't get back up. Can you help!" One of the guys on the ridge shouted back "If they really needed help, they would be screaming." then they disappeared over the ridge. The guy then said "You see, I told you!" I said "Will you help me?" he said "I already did." I reached my hand that was not clenching the vines upward. "Take my hand and pull me up" "Why would I" he said "You still aren't screaming" I said "so you will only help me if I start screaming." He said "I never said that I was going to help you at all, but someone might." By now most of the vines had pulled out of the ground and the few that remained would be out any second. I looked around and there was nobody around accept for this guy. I tried harder to find something else to hold on to, but there wasn't anything. Just as I started to fall, I woke myself up.
