    1. xl. The black lizard and the BFG

      by , 09-20-2018 at 02:10 PM
      Non-dream stuff - I wrote most of this non-lucid dream on a tablet while cooking lunch, as I didn't get a chance to do so before that. Managed to remember a lot of detail, but not some missing bits from transitions and the like, unfortunately.



      Dream:
      I remember being some place outside. I was getting a big weapon. The poor memory I have of the outline makes me think of a black bfg. I had a small van like the one my partner has. It was a cloudy and grey day. I put the weapon in the back of the van.

      I remember the presence of my middle sibling and I think we spoke at some point, about the weapon. It was very rare and valuable.

      Then there's a transition and it implied I took it some place else. I was now in my "lair" and I was a dinosaur/monster like something out of the game Monster Hunter. The weapon was on a rock, safely secured somehow and I remembering seing an orange glow on its outline, like an item pickup in a game.

      Then I looked at the top right corner of a visual interface and it said 33,000,000 or so, and it was money I had.

      Another big black monster that looked like a Komodo dragon or some sort of lizard appeared and he wanted the weapon. I remember he had a deep voice but I don't remember any words. He wanted to take it by force so we fought for a bit and he tried to attack the things making the weapon secure, without much success. I think he ended up scurrying away.

      I then was in a human form and in a black mustang-y type car, seeing it from third person like in many free roam games, and I drove at some speed toward a "waypoint" where I would find the black lizard. I was driving through a city and it was a bit dark at first. I got to a wide river, and I remember I could see an industrial estate type place across the way. I couldn't cross with the car and "remembered" I could summon a jet, so I summoned a bomber jet and got in and took off; the city was more like a complex megapolis now and it was a clear and sunny day.

      Somewhat unexpectedly I wasn't controlling the jet too well, and had a few near-hits with buildings; there were drag forces I don't remember noticing before when flying these in games and the tall and branched buildings made it difficult to navigate at high speed but after through the mega city jungle I was arriving over my waypoint so I jumped out of the jet, landing somewhere near my waypoint, which was a bunker entrance. It became night again and there were military personnel that didn't look like they were going to let me inside but they didn't threaten me with their weapons so I rushed through the entrance, into some dark and dimly lit concrete halls. The few lights that existed were weak fluorescent lights.

      There wasn't much staff inside this bunker and I seemed to have lost the guards. In this section of the dream I can't actually remember what form I took, possibly alternating between human and lizard form; but I found the black lizard in a small room behind a classroom place that had window panes to an "open" underground area. It was still very dark but there was bright blue light from the large underground area. I assumed some kind of high tech generator though I don't remember looking.

      The black lizard was smaller than before, but though he was the same one as before, it was like he was younger now, hence his reduced size. I remember confronting him with more aggression and likewise back at me. I also remember thinking "why couldn't he just pay me a few millions for the weapon", also making me wonder how much money he had, which I assumed to be a lot.

      Unfortunately I can't remember what happened next in any detail and the dream ended shortly after.



      Notes (going into a bit of dream interpretation more than usual because of the dream's plot/context):
      - To me, the jet, the military staff and bunker are clearly based off my recent experience of playing Just Cause 3. Other elements from games are obviously present, like the weapon.
      - In the dream I did expect the jet control to be a lot more intuitive than it ended up being, but the giant branched buildings were very unexpected, because when I was on the ground I never spotted any.

      - Black seems to have been a very prevalent colour in this dream.
      - Black BFG, black lizard, black car, grey rocks, lots of places of darkness... Of contrast was the white van, the blue or tan jet and the shiny city buildings and blue sky when flying the jet.
      - Of note to me is that I immediately referenced the black lizard as male, and the fact that I was a lizard too, of some other colour, probably yellow or orange, indicates to me that the black lizard was likely a part of my Shadow and that I was playing some sort of Hero role.

      - I find that the Hero as represented by my less conscious mind tends to be too antagonistic towards the Shadow. This may just be a reflection of Hero portrayals in many typical stories. I personally see the Shadow archetype in general as a poor repressed fellow who needs attention or affection, rather than violence.
      - In my childhood pre-sleep lucids, the form of choice was usually a giant black lizard/dinosaur.

      - The last part of the dream has the most significance to me and follows a general pattern that my dreams sometimes take;
      -- The underground bunker goes down and deeper and gets darker and darker, which is a common process in my dreams, but the presence of a bright blue light at the end when confronting the black lizard in the darkness was somewhat unusual. I do usually have meaningful interactions with dark characters in these dream stages however.
      -- The fact that the black lizard was smaller and/or younger at the end makes me think that it is a part of my childhood that I've lost that I haven't been able to regain yet. As a child I was easily angry and aggressive, which was more or less the behaviour of the black lizard.



      Edit from 2 years after having first made this entry (altered some spacings above and corrected typos too):

      - As I re-read my dream and the notes, I realised that not once did I actually mention the colour of the black lizard's eyes, but I think due to some "memory corruption" I have mistakenly defined them as being blue. I think my error came from the memory of the light in the final scenes of the dream, where there was that incredible bright blue light beyond the glass.

      - My only guess is that my brain linked the two things together to define that the lizard's eyes were blue of the same colour. I think I am fine with this association either way and perhaps while it wasn't the actual colour in the dream, it doesn't really matter seeing as it was my subconscious that made that association to begin with!

      - Although I didn't describe it as such in the entry, I do remember that it was a semi-spherical room that the blue energy was contained in. It was a room of very large proportion, definitely based on some sci-fi stuff I've seen.

      (from phone again)
      awoke 330, no dreams (not a trace)

      [D]nl in hallway then classroom, trying to be sneaky w F, middle school, they have a sub or "numbers lady" helping them, I'm in a desk (shame - naked?), F finds the biology or nursing book, but it's hardbound landscape like a steno book and the papers are warped and barely readable, I'm upset as I need the book, try to show F but now all pages are fine, can't find a warped one (vivid)

      [SL]felt like a visualization/hh at first, but was a dream. in a larger classroom (feels like biology, maybe + lab), clear sight of 2 doors, see dcs walking by doorway and some entering, some of them have ? for faces, become semi-lucid (aware that i can control my surroundings, but not the idea of "dream")? start copying one dc using doorway expectation, a blond plain-faced girl with a loose pony tail. i copy her several times passing through the doorway, some going in some walking on, i look at the other students and try to decide how to control them when one of my copies sits next to me, i get kind of nervous and after a second i wake up

      [L]I'm in bed and I feel like my dog is going to walk on my face (i feel a presence approaching) but i hear the door swinging on the hinges like it's already open and i realize its F. she says "it's me, june" and is being silly. i realize I'm dreaming but i can't open my dream eyes, so i start separating my dream body from what i can now feel is my real sleeping body (or my dreaming physical body, not sure if it was a copy because they were in same position), i separate mostly and tell her to come with me (still can't see except checkerboard hh, but can hear and feel surroundings as i move) i phase thru the wall next to the bed and fall back, flying to catch my fall, hh gets lighter, i float back up and ask "june" to join me again and i wake up. try to hold on to hh but dog wakes me up. whole thing was nonvisual (not counting the hh-like imagery)

    3. Strange Bathroom Wake-up Call Dream

      by , 09-20-2018 at 11:44 AM
      Morning of September 20, 2018. Thursday.

      Reading time (optimized): 2 min. Readability score: 71.



      Well, I guess the title is moot, as most of my bathroom wake-up call dreams are strange (which they would have to be to pull me into the waking process).

      My dream self is vaguely aware of my need to use the bathroom, but it is not very urgent at this point. Still, there is the typical eventual false memory of “we do not have a working toilet in our house.” (This is a common dream self perception, which is rendered to trigger the waking process. I then often falsely recall we have two toilets whereby only one works until I am fully awake.)

      I first go into the bathroom that is without a working toilet. After I go to the other one, I “realize” that neither toilet works. (In reality, we only have one, which works fine.)

      Typical indoor-outdoor ambiguity becomes the main factor. (That is, there is the perception of being inside and outside at the same time, very common in my dreams.)

      I notice a toilet beyond an ambiguous outdoor feature of ashes and miscellaneous junk, which is reminiscent of the bonfire location of Cubitis (though I do not directly think about Cubitis). Two unknown cheerful males are also present. I dramatically and cheerfully march over the area to the toilet beyond.

      I need to fix the toilet before I use it (or it would otherwise not flush). I am near its base where there is a mixed-up association with small pipes and where it anchors to the floor on each side. (That is, the two unrelated factors incorrectly combine into one concept.) Two thin pipes on each side, only slightly above floor level, are open.

      I am holding two objects. Each is a narrow connecting pipe of about three inches long, with a small hook coming out that resembles an incomplete miniature leash clip, with two thin strips of metal on each side of which resemble a blunt anatomical forceps. I need to insert each pipe into each larger one in the floor, to somehow connect the clip onto something I cannot directly see. (This makes no technical sense. It seems that water comes up from two small pipes in the floor to flow through the flat base and up into the bowl - even though the extra pipes are vertical.)

      I start by inserting one on the left. It goes in, but water starts spraying out of the top (even though there was no water coming out of the original vertical pipe in the floor, so this makes no sense), as the clip is not in the right place. It has to link to something unseen to keep the pipe in place. I do not consider how ridiculous the design is, as there is no path from the flat part of the base to go up into the bowl. There is also a rubbery piece between the floor pipe and the one I had inserted. It is irregular and pushed to one side. I wake after this amusing annoyance.


    4. The Ticker

      by , 09-20-2018 at 09:44 AM
      Morning of September 20, 2018. Thursday.

      Reading time (optimized): 4 min. Readability score: 63.



      Following vestibular system correlation (type one passive) as dream state induction, this stage of REM sleep is typically with less-directed thought processes, so I maintain my dream self as a passenger rather than a driver in this part of the sleep cycle.

      I place my dream self on a bus (though I have not been on a bus in real life for years). I sit on the left-hand side (subliminal dreaming orientation), about four seats back from the unfamiliar approximately forty-year-old male bus driver. There is not much lighting even though it seems to be morning. I partly rely on my sense of touch.

      The bus is going south, past the intersection of Loomis and Gillette Streets. (An intersection represents RAS mediation in real time.) My mother is in the seat in front of me, appearing as she was in the 1980s. I have no recall of her death in 2002, though I have no recall of my current conscious self identity either. My dream self seems to be about seventeen years old. (My waking-life age is fifty-seven.)

      There are clusters of used tissues, some strewn on the seat to my right, though they may not be mine. My mother had given me a small pocket watch which I also loosely associate with a timer. (The watch thread comes from one of the first scenes from “Anon” from 2018, seen before sleep. However, it is also a concurrent ultradian rhythm factor and a subliminal assertion of the dreaming and waking process. The tissue rendering is the subliminal memory of our youngest daughter throwing her used tissues on the couch as Zsuzsanna and I were watching “Anon.” Carefully and intelligently note the erroneous dream state correlation of couch with bus seat. That has been a common distortion factor in vestibular correlation processes since early childhood.)

      I see the analog watch face clearly, noticing that it is five seventeen. I hold it up to my right ear (subliminal waking environment orientation) and listen to it tick. However, after a time, I cannot hear it ticking, though, at times, there are a couple of discernible ticks before silence again. That annoys me. My mother is surprised, as she had just gotten it for me. I accidentally drop it onto the bus seat. I consider that it had become mixed up with the tissues. However, I retrieve it just before it moves down into the recess between the back of the seat and the seat itself. I vividly feel (without seeing it) with enhanced tangibility, that it is oval, though when I look at it, it is circular. I wind it without looking at it, feeling the winding crown tighten. It ticks a few more times but stops again. I start to wonder what the real time is, as it has only moved a bit towards five eighteen in all this time. (The imagery of the watch face remains consistent, which is an atypical dream state detail, especially when reading text or numbers as here.)

      Instead of continuing south, we are now going north back towards the Loomis and Gillette Street intersection. My dream self does not question this nonsensical reversal. The area does not look as it does in real life. I get off the bus on my own. Eventually, I am in the Barolin Street house (which is in Australia, not America, though I have not lived there in years). I go into the kitchen of the Barolin Street house. (However, there is a vague essence of the Cubitis house as correlating with the living room.) Despite being in a variation of the Barolin Street house, my conscious self identity does not yet emerge.

      I am going to get a new watch just like the previous one. I take it out of a disposable rectangular corrugated foil baking pan (inferred to be from the freezer of the refrigerator even though I do not discern any coldness from the feature) in which an uncooked chicken (for roasting) sits inside. The pan sits on a table. I soon realize that I could have taken the watch out without absentmindedly unwrapping the chicken. I pull the plastic wrap back over the chicken and close it up with Scotch tape. Around this time, I start to wake.



      The watch identifies the emerging consciousness factor, which in my dream, remains just beyond one-quarter consistency, though my dream self anticipates five-thirty. I am fifty-seven in reality (five seven). However, my dream self’s age is seventeen (my age when moving to Wisconsin).

      The uncooked chicken (potential flight as the dream state exit process rendered as not a viable emerging consciousness event) is the final vestibular system correlation in a very passive projected form with the additional factor of subliminal awareness that I am undressed as I sleep. Putting the plastic back around it is analogous to keeping my bed sheet over my body as I sleep. (This was not the last dream of my sleep cycle.) When I was half-awake, I realized the bed sheet had slipped down over the side of my body.

      The bus driver is this dream’s preconscious avatar (not dominant or confrontational as this is not my last dream of the sleep cycle) as well as vestibular system personification (linear). My mother, in this situation, is probably a subliminal awareness of Zsuzsanna (despite the total absence of my current conscious self identity in this dream), as she is the mother of our children (thus I hear variations of “mother” quite often from day to day). It also correlates with the scene from “Anon” where the female voice-over sounded as if it began with “Zsuzsanna” when the holographic watch appeared on Sal’s wrist from the storefront display. However, after “I am an open window…over infinity,” it is “Giguere,” not “Zsuzsanna.” (I did not know this before sleeping.) Additionally, if the movie scene did not occur from the far left side of the television screen, it likely would not have influenced my dream in the way it did.


    5. Waterslide River Run

      by , 09-19-2018 at 07:11 PM (Bridger's Oneironautic Expeditions)
      I'm spending the entire dream trying to find something. I'm picked up in a limo with a bunch of rich characters going to some cool waterpark right by the sea. As we drive up to it, I see that the slides start high above the sea on a pier looking structure, and dump you right into the ocean. Everyone in the limo wants to go, so we all get out and head over to get tickets. Surprisingly, one girl says she's got this and approaches the ticket guy saying that she doesn't have enough money and hands him a fourth of the money needed to cover everyone. I say I can pitch in as well, but the guy accepts it as it is and starts handing out the tickets. The ticket is in the shape of a pamphlet and opening it shows that there are 3 different slides, each one varying in intensity. I start to walk to the slides, but realize I have to walk through a club with a ton of people. As I try to maneuver through the crowd, I get handed items, including a necklace of some kind. The club is narrow and facing diagonally from the orientation that I thought it would. Someone comes up to me and asks where I got the necklace from, and I tell them I don't know. They take it away from me and I go to try and find people I know. Later, I'm watching something about a river flowing down through some mountains with snow banks on either side. People are tubing down the river while a skier dude is skiing down the bank of snow. He eventually jumps off a ledge and into the water. I am suddenly there in a tube going along for the ride. Around a tight bend, I fall out of the tube and try to get back on. I swim as fast as I can, but can't seem to catch up to it. Instead, I get trapped under some rocks in a small air pocket struggling to get out. I'm not panicked, but just want to get away from this area. I take a deep breath and dive underwater. I emerge in a city falling from the sky, but I can use my left hand to shoot a grapple onto buildings to swing from, like Spiderman. I get myself under control and swing between a few more buildings before setting myself down softly on the ground.

    6. Apocalyptic Nonlucids - September 19

      by
      ZAD
      , 09-19-2018 at 04:14 PM (ZAD's DJ)
      Sep 19 2018

      [D] A new member of a BBS/forum commits suicide and posts graphic pictures, leaving clues behind. Some users of the BBS call it a hoax, others accept that it's real but are still indifferent. His name is something like OPMQLN (six letters, unsure about the first two only).
      [F] Walking down a city street at night. There's an interstate hi-rise above us (I'm walking with one to five other people). It's dark but there's a sort of faded golden glowing property around everything. There was either snow or rain on the ground, and in the sky, but not touching us. Maybe I was with two people and we passed six people? Overall a feeling of good cheer.
      [D] I'm in a room similar to a cabin I once stayed at with F. It has a queen bed and is connected to a long living room which leads to a kitchen. I'm working (at my old restaurant possibly) and my (fictional restaurant) coworker drops a glass of spaghetti. The glass had the noodles, meat, and sauce combined already. When the jar shatters there's a ballistics-like scene left over. It reminds me of the strings Dexter puts up for blood spatter analysis. My coworker needs to clean it up and the vibe is that I should help but I refuse because he made the mess. A speck of sauce made it all the way into the first room, and I wipe it off with my finger. I'm bringing two hardcover books (one is light blue) to place on a bookshelf in the original room.
      [D] A long, three-stage epic about an apocalypse. The first is live-action and sort of reminds me of Princess Mononoke, it takes place in a dark forest and tells the story of the mother and child; at parts the visuals are clay stop-motion. The second part has visuals similar to Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines (very specific to how the walk cycle animations look in this game, and the general quality). The mother and child are at the ranch home, but on this rainy night an evil woman creature steals the prize horse. The father mounts an evil beast and chases after her. He's weilding a black buster sword. From a distance, she casts some sort charm/weaken/poison spell on him and he (me) starts seeing bats with different visual effects (invert colors, seeing auras, blur, etc.). He dies. The child grows up a bit and one night rides out to the edge of the field, and she reaches a resort hotel where she speaks over a fence to a woman near the swimming pool. In the third part, the child is grown, and the town around her is separated into different Animal-Crossing-like houses. They each represent someone in the town who's died (one of them representing her father) and they look like russian dolls. Then they all simultaneously turn around and just look like houses (they're lined up in a grid). Their brick tiles/shingles on the right side of each house shift slowly up in a symbolic gesture.
      [F] I'm in my old church on the altar.
      [D] I'm a youngish man with a wife and kid(s), I've just managed to stop the nuclear apocalypse somehow. There were three huge glowing green worms/dragons/snakes (in some scenes they remind me of Mass-produced Evas), and now they're banished or blacked out from our world. Scene transition to me shooting a rocket launcher, but it just puffs. Scene transition to an overview of the land in black, and the three green snakes circling around it, but being unable to enter (there is a circle that they can go behind and be blacked out, but they can't affect anything (I think in-dream -- maybe they can within the blackout circle). Scene shift to a sliding glass window and I see my daughter outside. I almost get lucid and have the opportunity to, but for some reason don't. I'm really drawn in by my (fictional) daughter and rush outside to pick her up. It's a really heartwarming moment. Scene shifts and it's a third person view and my fictional family and I get into a bus. I'm narrating like it's the end of movie and I just did something badass. I remember the line "I make $50,000." We head out of the driveway and are imediately crashed into by a firetruck. My family is fine but I'm injured, the fire department (and chief) are very resentful at me for some reason. Maybe in the way that I saved the world I somehow stepped on their toes. They rummage through our stuff in the bus.
      [D] I'm going through a house which feels more like a gift shop. In the entrance there are some people talking, the first time through they feel off but the second time I realize they're platic with speakers and they say the same bit each time. There are glass display cases with objects inside, possibly this is a museum for one of the apocalypses in my former dreams. I pass through a (possibly beaded) doorway on the right if you're coming in (there's a counter or column or something in the middle of the room that you have to walk around). The black guy from Fear the Walking Dead (don't his name as I'm only passively watching this show while F watches it) is leaning at a bar counter and I pass him. Off to the right is a door which I don't think twice about the first time through. The second time through, I go in and there's something secret and important there, like it's an exit into another place (possibly the cabin in my early dream?). There's a valuable item in a chest which I see, can't remember what it was now.
    7. Dream - The Secret Of Grey 5-Volt & I See How It Is

      by , 09-19-2018 at 02:55 PM
      Date of Dream: WED 19 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 427 - Separated Sections


      Dream 427 A - The Secret Of Grey 5-Volt

      I can’t remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I can remember, I was having classes back at Killester College and it was with the girls that I had in my year in 2016 in real life. In the classroom, we were all watching some sort of movie but it wasn’t for educational purposes. It was actually a movie featuring 9-Volt from WarioWare and it was about his “Sneaky Gamer” episodes. As we were watching, I said to myself, “Ah… Now I actually know the secret of Grey 5-Volt.

      A bit later on in the dream, Mrs O’N is in the classroom and in comes a really creepy and possessed looking JSa. Mrs O’N tells me that JSa was trying to come clean from the effects of her previous consumption of alcohol. We then all exited the classroom through this weird, distorted, tube-like corridor and discovered that we had been going through half of lunch time! I wasn’t actually fussed though because I was inundated with enjoyment from the events of 9-Volt’s movie.

      The school yard now resemble more the appearance of my primary school. There was some holographic typing that was floating in front of me, saying that I did such a good job for finding out the secret of Grey 5-Volt that 9-Volt and 18-Volt wanted to give me all of their riches. Apparently then, I saw in detail that I was going to get $5,000 AUD from them as a thank you for saving them from that dark mystery of a character.

      In the next scene, I was on a holiday to an unknown destination with my family. It had been a couple of nights and I’m surprised that there wasn’t any drama this time around. Strangely, my dad was demanding for us all to get in the car so we could go home but I wanted to stay right until the end. When we got home, I asked my parents, “Why did we go back all of a sudden when everything was going so well and for once there was no drama?”. My mum explained that they wanted to see if they could save some money for when they have their two week anniversary trip to Croatia. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream 427 B - I See How It Is

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in one of the Killester College music rooms with a broad mix of people, including my mum. The group was split into two and we were in a line each… It was apparently a game designed by the dream. When you won, the person in the other line would be able to talk to you. It actually felt like the dream speaking although this was said in my voice; “Ooh 18-Volt, we’ve gotta make him lose”, because if he won, I would be paired with him next but if he lost, he would be disqualified and have to leave the entire game. I heard my own voice (not spoken from my tongue) and so I looked up at the roof and said to the dream, “Oh, I see how it is!” in a sarcastic tone, catching it out for trying to cause trouble.

      Miraculously, this caused a scene change in where I could now clearly interact with 18-Volt. I was now at some unknown shopping centre, which eventually came to my mind as a mall in America. I pulled my phone out and was speaking to a visible version of Dreamy WB in the dream and yes, she was fully animated! She was wearing her Oktoberfest outfit with some make-up. I forgot what the start of the conversation was but we spoke about how the dream had dressed 18-Volt differently.

      I said that the dream had given him a lime coloured beanie and that the frames of his glasses were green. Then out of his jacket and pants, one of them was a different shade of green and the other was dark green. Dreamy WB said that “measures were probably taken to cover his butt”. I then said, “Ah, then it must be the pants that are dark green”. As Dreamy WB and I were discussing the new pieces, I was actually visualising them as we mentioned each garment. Dreamy WB then said, “I should probably carry you instead”, she mumbled some words at the end but I forgot what they were. Deep down, I knew she was hinting at the fact that she thought 18-Volt’s arse was so big, he wouldn’t be able to fit through the door.

      I also forgot what I said in return but I thought his arse wasn’t big at all. In-fact, I thought it was the smallest thing on him compared to his upper body, especially his hands. The dream then played in third-person mode and it showed 18-Volt from behind, cradling me in his arms, walking into the main entry way of the American Walmart store and no, he did not even come close to touching the sliding doors. When we finally entered Walmart, the dream ended with me remaining comfortably slotted into his arms as he continued to walk on into the aisles.



      Dream Tasks
      - Have Logan receive harsh penalties from Dreamy WB due to reckless social behaviours (Achieved? Partially)
      - Have all members on the dream guide team obtain and apply knowledge on how to provide in-dream discipline to unruly parents (Achieved? No)

    8. Dream - I Teach Jazz, Swing, Hip-Hop & Singing

      Date of Dream: TUE 18 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 426 - I Teach Jazz, Swing, Hip-Hop And Singing


      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was in the car park of Stud Park Shopping Centre and I was talking to GW. She mentioned something to me about how she needed a singing teacher for something. Then Jimmy T. appeared as his character and voice from WarioWare gold, talking to GW like she was already one of his students. He told her that he was a singing teacher and that he would allot time in the lesson to teach her about jazz music, swing music, hip-hop music, and then some singing. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

    9. Dream - TAFE Frustrations

      Date of Dream: MON 17 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 425 - TAFE Frustrations

      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was in this unknown room with the TAFE class that was supposedly in the semester below me. Although I was already done, apparently I was already re-doing the advanced diploma classes with them. It ended up being Statistics with PLu on a Monday which I found to be one of the easiest subjects in the course. I can’t remember the specific details of what took place in that scene.

      In another scene, I was at home with my mum and she was talking about me re-doing another subject again. She said that even if it was one subject, so I would have something to during my holidays. I told her I wasn’t happy with that and then she started to get angry at me, saying something to me. I then responded, mentioning that I wanted to be with my family… That kept her quiet. The dream then ended.

    10. Dream - A Place Of Peace & I'm Not Scared & Parent Bullies

      by , 09-19-2018 at 02:42 PM
      Date of Dream: SUN 16 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 424 - Separated Sections


      Dream 424 A - A Place Of Peace

      I don’t remember much about this dream. From where I do remember, I was in some random room that was submerged underwater but I could still breathe in it. There were lots of other people in the room but I have forgotten what they were all doing. On observation, I realised that I actually had my hair styled like 18-Volts’ if he was real, only my hair was at my length. My hair looked very dry and placed into dreadlocks. The end of my hair was very skinny and I thought to myself, “This hairstyle suits 18-Volt but it does not suit me”.

      For the next scene, I was browsing on the internet and for some reason, I was reading about the nature of black people and their community in America. I forgot what I specifically read but apparently there was this country I could go to in order to learn more and get a really deep insight about these people. It was a country called “Oromo …”, there was a second part to the name of this country but I have forgotten it. It was next door to a country called Neka.

      The dream then skipped to me actually being at this place and from what I had read earlier, this was supposed to be the most peaceful country on the planet. When I had arrived on the coast, I noticed that the dream took the meaning of peaceful a bit far… There was absolutely no infrastructure on the land, not even a small tin shed. I saw African people walking around on the beach and on the grassed land. I distinctly remember there being a little boy with an almost bald haircut, wearing a res stripy t-shirt. I then looked over to the other side of the coast and saw this massive volcano spewing bright orange lava from it, actually glowing! That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream 424 B - I'm Not Scared
      I can’t remember much about this dream. From where I can remember, I was at home by myself and was planning to take a shower in the bathroom. I thought to myself, I should probably switch the fan on to stop the room from misting up but then I was uncertain for a second. I then said to myself out loud, “Hang on… Beforehand, 18-Volt actually taught me how to turn the fan on without getting scared” and as I said this, I actually felt his energy radiating through me for a short moment.

      I went ahead and actually flicked the switch for the fan, finding out that it actually wasn’t too loud. I stood there and hesitated to see if it would get any louder but it didn’t, so then I thought I could finally step into the shower. Once I was in the shower, I then looked up and thankfully, nothing weird happened then either. I then said to myself, “I’ve got to hurry up before mum gets home”. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream 424 C - Parent Bullies
      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was watching my parents doing something in the kitchen. My dad was a having a drink of water out of a purple cup, which is the only colour of plastic cup I don’t own in real life. There was some conversation, but otherwise, I have forgotten what happened in the rest of the first scene.

      The next scene took place in the local area but then appearance of this area of the suburb wasn’t familiar to me. There were a bunch of kids I was talking to and apparently giving a workshop to. Apparently I was talking about the fact that parents are bullying their kids at times. I had drawn a diagram and pinned it on a tree to show the kids. The paper was split into half, one side being the mum and one side being the dad; each side had three panels. The first one showed a happy mum holding a baby. The second one showed a mum looking really angrily at her child and the child looking scared. The third panel showed the mum as an old sick lady and the child, middle-aged was crying. The second half was the same but with a dad instead.

      My in-dream interpretation of the drawing was that in the first panel, the parent is so proud of the pride and joy that they have brought into the world. In the second panel, the parent is always yelling at the child and demanding things on them because they’re older. The last panel is the child have a sense of deep regret, their parent is old and sick and so their time is cut short; the child wishes they could have spent more time with the parent rather than staying away, having to defend themselves. After a while of me talking, my dad comes and takes over, making it his own event. At first, I was furious but after the event had finished. I worked out that the kids actually liked him and so didn’t kind if he wanted to be a guest speaker again. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

      Date of Dream: SAT 15 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 423 - Supernanny Is Annoying

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, Supernanny Jo Frost was at my house and she was giving her lessons based on an apparent dispute within the relationship of the family. One thing she emphasised is that we were not allowed to have our mobile phones with me and this made me really annoyed. I thought to myself, “How am I going to be able to reach Dreamy WB?”. I then made a self-realisation, I said to myself that all I had to do was make a wish for her to be present in this dream. That’s all I can remember.

    12. Dream - Procedure Gone Wrong & The Nintendo Game-show & A Birdie Stole My Camera

      by , 09-19-2018 at 02:31 PM
      Date of Dream: THU 13 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 422 - Separated Sections


      Dream 422 A - Procedure Gone Wrong

      I forgot what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was at my house, in the dining room when apparently, my mum had to go to the hospital for a second hysterectomy procedure. I asked why on Earth she had to go a second time where she already got everything removed. I then thought that maybe the only removed one ovary last time and maybe they were removing the other ovary this time.

      The scene then changed so now she was at the hospital and she was about to be put to sleep for the surgery. My family had this thought that she wouldn’t make it and so she would not be coming back to us. I tried to call my mum so we could speak to her for the last time before her procedure but unfortunately we were unsuccessful, apparently she was supposed to be admitted at 8:30 PM but now even before 8:30 PM, she was actually under the knife.

      Dream 422 B - The Nintendo Game-show
      It felt like the same dream as 422 A but then my mum was back and there was no mention of the hysterectomy… So this must be the start of 422 B. I was at my other grandparents’ house with my mum. I was in their bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror and that’s when I started to see a very scary sight. I had all these giant black bugs crawling out of my ears, teeth and then my eye sockets. I was absolutely horrified and even tried to shut my eyes so bugs wouldn’t be crawling out of there anymore. Amongst the torture, I end up crying out, “18-Volt!”, hoping he would come to my aid.

      I was worried when nothing was happening but thank goodness I came to my senses and finally decide to leave the mirror so I wouldn’t see anymore of those awful bugs crawling out of me. I still wanted to find 18-Volt, so I went out into the hallway to see what I could do. There was a picture frame hanging there and I thought I could reach 18-Volt this way. I said to the dream, “This isn’t 18-Volt” and in co-operation, the dream changed the picture, but it still wasn’t him. Instead, it changed him to Donkey Kong.

      Amongst me still trying to correct 18-Volt’s identity and appearance, my mum is calling out to me and I think she’s telling me to hurry up. I said to her, “Wait a minute mum, that’s not him”. She then looks up at the frame with me and I partially explain to her what I’m trying to do. It takes a few more corrections but eventually, it is 18-Volt in the picture and both my mum and I are satisfied with the result.

      This causes a scene change and I am in some completely unknown, fictional looking environment. The sky is completely blue and it feels like I’m in some sort of jungle. I was looking at a large cave and standing just in the entry way was 18-Volt with a banana in his hand, he wasn’t eating it. I can’t remember anything else about that scene.

      The next scene took place in another unknown area and this time, it seemed like there was some sort of game-show going on. Soon, enough I found out that it was being hosted by the Nintendo voice actor, Charles Martinet! His appearance and character were very accurate in this scene. I then look over to the far podium and realise that 18-Volt is casually sitting on it, in his WarioWare Gold appearance; I figured he was the contestant for this episode of the game-show.

      There was a board at the far end of the room with 26 rows and 4 columns. Each row was a letter of the alphabet and the 4 columns were a link to guessing the activity that started with each letter. As the contestant, 18-Volt would pick a letter and would have to guess what the activity was for that row. To my surprise, my mum and I were helping… We stayed at the small podium while he got into position near the board. Apparently with what ever letter 18-Volt chose, I would roll that ball to him and then he would slot it into the machine, making that row of the board become active for inputting the answer. The balls with the letters on them were the size of bowling balls but had the design of a pool ball with a letter drawn within the white circle.

      The first letter that 18-Volt selected was D and so I put the ball on the ground and rolled it over. He bobbed down to stop the ball and then he picked it up, putting it into the chute. Obviously being the host, Charles Martinet was making all these comments about 18-Volt and his ball but I forgot what they were. It ended up being that 18-Volt couldn’t get the answer but eventually, Charles Martinet had reveal it; the answer to the D section was “Dated Mario”, meaning somebody was dating wit Super Mario.

      The next letter 18-Volt decided to pick was H. Charles Martinet ended up saying to him, “Ooh 18-Volt, you like your consonants so much. Why don’t you pick a vowel next time like an O or something?”. The dream then skipped to the end of the game-show where 18-Volt was sitting on the podium again and my mum and I were standing at the side of the room. There was talk about if I would like to have a picture with 18-Volt and so I said yes. There was a catch though…

      Charles Martinet whipped the camera out at lighting speed and didn’t care whether I got there or not, he was just going to take the photo as quick as possible. So as quick as possible, I scrambled over to 18-Volt and jammed myself next to him, giving the biggest smile I could… The camera flashed just as soon as I sat down. Charles Martinet then looked at how the photo turned out and he said that it was really good. My mum, on the other hand, came up and said that both mine and 18-Volt’s smiles were really creepy.

      For the first time, 18-Volt spoke and the dream had given him an Aussie accent, although it actually suited him. I asked how I was going to be able to see the photo and 18-Volt said that he was going to put it on Google+ as he whipped his phone out and showed me the page. He told me that’s where he shared all his photos and asked if I would be able to see it, I said yes. After that, the dream ended.

      Dream 422 C - A Birdie Stole My Camera

      I don’t remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was at this Dangerfield store but it was one that looked like it didn’t exist in real life. I was flicking through the front rack of clothes when I saw a particular dress I liked; it was a bluey-green colour. Something went wrong when I was trying to take out the dress but I don’t remember what it was. There was also a staff member there that I recognise from Dangerfield in real life.

      The next scene played in a distorted version of my local suburb, at night time. It was close to the freeway and I was talking to Dribble and Spitz, I forgot what about though. After that, 18-Volt appeared as a hologram and I think he actually whipped me up onto his lap; I enjoyed the ride even if it was for such a short distance… It felt like he was taking me on more of a joy ride rather than going somewhere. After he came back from his loop and put me down, there was something taking place between me and my parents in a car park nearby.

      The scene then changed completely and it was a distorted version of supposedly being on the beach of St. Kilda on really grey day. The teams from The Block Australia 2018 were doing something and I was actually helping one of the teams; at first, I thought it was Courtney and Hans. Later on in the scene though, the dream claims that I was with Norm and Jess along with a little boy. The little boy walks out onto the sand with a camera and a seagull comes and takes it away from him. Rather than crying straight away, he was pretty smart and actually managed to get his camera back from the bird. Only then, three white chickens came and took his camera, leading him on a wild goose chase. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

    13. Dream - Motivated Dream Assault

      by , 09-19-2018 at 02:20 PM
      Date of Dream: TUE 11 SEP - 2018



      Dream No. 421 - Motivated Dream Assault


      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in some unknown area. This very dark skinned African woman with very short grey hair approached me, calling herself Aunty Mola. I thought to myself, “She’s African but then again, she’d from a different part of Africa than where Dreamy WB would come from”. At the start of the dream, the lady seemed very stern but then she also seemed very wise.

      We were talking to each other but I didn’t feel inclined to reveal much about myself with the thought in mind that she may find me weird and not approve of my character. I said to her that I was just going to go “over there” to call for someone, hoping that she would stay where she was. So I went over to a distant area, convinced that Aunty Mola was staying where she was. I didn’t know that she had snuck up behind me as I called for Dreamy WB. It was only when Aunty Mola grew a polite smile on her face and asked me about Dreamy WB, I forgot what she specifically said though but that’s when I gained a completely different outlook on who Aunty Mola was and that she was there to help me rather than to judge me.

      The scene then played in an area that resembled itself to a lot of features in my old house. The dream did slowly morph into my actual old house. It’s there that Aunty Mola continued to give me advice on how I could reach Dreamy WB. As soon as I started calling for her though, the dream camera showed a door opening from one of the rooms at the back of the house and out of it came a mean looking blonde man. He took no hesitation in making his way to the sitting room… His intention was to rape me!! And then not only that; there was a woman appearing in my driveway that was going to start stealing things from my car!

      In the house, Aunty Mola pulled the boy aside and gave him some words of wisdom, but those words were to defend me. The man shrugged her off and started coming for me. Then I think to myself, “I’m going to call the cops and no, not with a phone”. Then I sounded a really siren as I went “Wee-oo-wee-oo-wee-oo-wee-oo-wee-oo-wee-oo...”. I indeed a group of police officers were scene running from the opposite court and now the man was in the driveway, so they grabbed in. The woman gave me an evil smirking look through the window like “They ain’t gonna catch me” as she hid behind my car… But they got to her too and dragged her off.

      Once the police were out of sight with the two criminals, I stopped the siren noise. Aunty Mola was talking to again for a while but I forgot what she said. That’s all I can remember about this dream.

      Non-dream stuff - I have a lucid fragment, that occurred at an unknown time. Then, just a non-lucid dream that I've forgotten details on.



      Lucid fragment:
      It was dim. I see my left hand and count 6 fingers, the extra finger being conjoined with the pinky or ring finger. I have a brief realisation that I'm dreaming, visually the dream starts to disappear into darkness and it feels like I bump into something, and then just the nothingness of unconsciousness until the next dream memory.

      Dream fragment:
      I remember arriving at a street with my partner, in the car. I suggest we park on some spots close to these terraced houses on the street. The layout is a bit like a corner but it makes more sense in the dream context than it would in waking life. The bit I suggested we park the car on, turns out is for disabled only. In the dream I remember thinking that I really need to do something to get that sorted out, the thought felt like it was more conscious than other parts of the dream.

      We park somewhere else a bit further and then I remember approaching the terraced houses, and one of them is actually a bank, and I bought that specific one, apparently. The house door was 60 something, and in the dream context I notice or remember that a friend of ours who's been staying over with us, is living over at door 57, which is around the corner, which again doesn't make sense in a real layout, since it technically would be a different street, the numbers shouldn't add up like that.

      I remember being inside the bank-turned-house and noticing glass with red painted stripes, as with a particular bank, and for some reason the house is connected directly to another one that was also from the same bank but hadn't been sold. I remember turning something on or looking for something to eat and feeling like it was odd that I could see a bank agent across the way.

      In the dream I was satisfied with how the house looked, though it was pretty bare; mostly shiny tiles and glass.

      Later on in the dream I remember walking with my partner again, over some sort of low roof (less than a story high), which was used as a public bridge or something. My mom was at the opposite end, sitting with her legs crossed; as we got closer she looked at me and smiled and told me something. I remember people going past us on the left, using the "bridge". It was day-time through the entire dream, but at first it was cloudy and then it must have been less cloudy near the end because there were more bright streaks.



      No notes for now, feeling quite tired.

      I'm in my bed sleeping at my parents' house. My mom comes in, and wants to know if I want to call my brother in right now to have a talk before I have to go. It's the middle of the night, but I say sure and she goes to get him. I'm out of bed when she comes back with him and an assortment of chairs is arranged in a circle around my room with other people now sitting in them. I take a chair across from him and Mom tells me I can start. I begin telling him about his attitude and actions that he's taken and how if he could see what he was doing, he would be embarrassed. He chooses to ignore me though so I walk away. I find myself in a dark room with a girl I know and someone else. Although I can barely see anything, I become aware that I'm dreaming. I immediately go for the finger push reality check and it works, but the room is dark, and without many senses engaged, I soon lose lucidity. I emerge in a new place walking into a bar of sorts. I see a group of friends who want to play a game with me. I think it's either pool or beer pong. Before I go play with them, I see a few people setting up a chess board. The pieces are fairly large, but are laid out strangely. I question this for a while until rationalizing that the pieces are laid out in the other orientation than I first thought. Looking back at the board, it now looks fine. There are some missing pieces though, 3 pawns, and I look for them. Next to the board is a box of heavy whipping cream and inside, I can see all three pawns covered in it. I slowly take them out with the guy next to me helping to clean them off. He has a very heavy English accent making it difficult to understand what he's saying.
