Category - Random


I woke up in the morning still tired, so I decided to head back to sleep. SP started setting in, so I decided to just go with it. It didn't last very long and consisted of some shooting stars and crowd-like conversation.

After completing the transition, I found myself laying on a basketball court. There wasn't a game going on, just a lot of people shooting around. I attempted to pick up a ball, but coordination was way off. Finally, I picked up a basketball and it felt extremely awkward in my hands. My arms felt weak, so I took a running start and launched the ball as hard as I could from the 3-point line. It barely reached the front of the rim, but I got a favorable bounce thanks to my lucidity and it went in. I stopped and began stabilizing. I felt my strength return to me. I kicked a rolling ball nearly the full length of the court and used my mind to make the ball go in. I saw my friend Diddy standing beside me, so I told him we were lucid. I then attempted to fly. Just before takeoff Diddy grabbed my shirt tail and we took flight. I flew around the gym for a bit, before the weight of my passenger pulled me back down to the ground.

Diddy had now turned into P and we were no longer on a basketball court. We were in a bar. The bottom half of the walls were wood paneled. I could see reflections in the wood panels as if they were mirrors. It was pretty sweet actually. There was country music playing in the background and a lot of people were wearing cowboy hats. I noticed quite a few girls walking around topless. I saw a girl I knew KT. She was also topless and had incredibly puffy nipples. Naturally, I had to place my mouth on them. The dream got unstable and I felt as if it was going to end. I decided to DEILD. I now realize that the dream had stabilize just before I laid down in the bar. I actually didn't DEILD, but some weird shit happened.

It felt weird. I didn't feel myself wake up and I never felt SP, but I was getting some crazy hallucinations. I was seeing random scenes as if I were zooming through them at top speed. I nearly crashed into people, houses, and other structures as I zoomed through random scenes. Some were beaches, cities, and desert town. The entire time, I heard my friend Diddy telling a story in the background. He was laughing about a dude named Ross who jumped out of a car going 60mph and ended up in a coma. Suddenly, I was in a room and I could feel sleep paralysis. My body was hovering above the bed and I slowly began to spin. I then slid off the bed and hovered across the floor. I looked to my right and saw a giant Woody doll (the one from Toy Story). It crawled across the dark room in a rather sinister manner and licked the side of my face. I imagined that it was probably my cat in real life that was licking my face. I then actually woke up to my cat licking my face, lol.

Series Details
In the dream series, "The Land of Dreams," I explore the depths of my subconscious. With no real goals in mind, I interact with the lands and characters that come before me. Who will I meet? Where will I go? What exactly does it mean to be KingYoshi? To find out, stay tuned for more entries to the series!

3/2-3. 1. Town and Country? Heather Xxxx?

610. Sara Xxxx sends me a text of a friend and her. One person has pants over their arms and the other on their legs, but the people are connected. Looks really funny. Then at some homes in Riverside. Poor looking kind of, just unkempt. Large field next to them. Small fires along the fence line and the people are very scared. Then I’m at Riverside station 1, except it’s in a different area of down, by the Victorian homes? Xxxx there. The whole city is laid out differently. We then go on a tour of the station. Mxxxxx and Jxxxxx there. Then we’re getting off an engine like we were driving around. Saw a few buildings. As we’re getting off, we’re told that there’s a training burn that’s going to happen. Get off and we’re watching another academy throw ladders, inside. I look to the side, the parking lot(?), and something is missing (not sure what, but that’s how I felt). One guy almost drops a 35’er. Outside now and Mxxxxx and I leave to go check out the training burn, but I have to go to the bathroom first. Go into what I thought was the bathroom, but looks like a restaurant. People look at me weird. Building for training burn is on fire. People are panicking. Everyone running toward it. Some guy is up on a ramp and falls off. I go to his aid and check his pulse, don’t think I feel anything. Another guy tries to log roll him, but I didn’t have C-spine yet and told the guy to stop. Guy rolls anyway. Guy that fell says he’s fine and gets up. Then march to Fraizer Park (diff location). On the way, Mrs. Xxxxxx is stabbed with a flag that someone threw. She’s find and no bleeding and is miffed. I call 911. I ask to tell the operator the location and he says he doesn’t need it. It’s dusk and the building implodes. Not in park. Dark and fireworks are going off. Look of city looks like NYC with lights and stuff. Erik Xxxxxxxxxx there and taking photos. I take a few also. Then it’s day and I watch Theresa’s video

Looking out bedroom window. See something going on, robbing? Breaking into my house? Run to the bathroom and call 911. Tell them someone’s breaking into my house. Cops show up super fast. Robbers apprehended, but they say they’re not. Cops interview them. Then they take me across the street and interview me. More details but can’t remember

Outside of a building. Something about being on a jury. A class? Dan Xxxxx is next to me. A lot more but can’t remember

Pre-dream: I had just received my datura ferox seeds and valerian root from an online vendor yesterday, so I decided to see what effects they might have if I were to consume some and take a nap. I meditated and asked the spirit of the plants that they guide me in the dream world, I gave them my respect and sent them energy. I crushed two datura seeds and brewed them in a tea and drank it whilst my valerian root was brewing. Before I began drinking the valerian I already felt a strange head pressure, almost a headache, and a very deep sedating effect. I proceeded to take the valerian tea but by the time I finished I felt very heavy and was feeling slight delirium in my thought process.

I laid down and watched my hypnagogic imagery and was promptly shown an eye that was in the center of my vision, staring at me. Unlike other times I believe I've seen my third eye, I think it was lady datura this time because it was glaring at me and promptly after I fell asleep and had a few disturbing dreams.

Dream: I had various fragments of random visions including taking care of some kids I didn't know that were vomiting water and I kept panicking not knowing how to deal with the problem, running up and down a mountain trying to avoid jaguars and shadow people, and lastly being cornered in front of my sister's house by a pitch black grizzly bear. The dream with the bear was the most memorable probably because it was the last one before waking up. It would morph into a cub to seem less sinister and would approach me but then it would morph into a huge black grizzly and try to attack me, I'd randomly find pointy but short objects like daggers or forks to defend myself with and I'd proceed to stab it whenever I could, trying to survive.


What happened next was the disturbing part though because I had stabbed it numerous times and it was on the floor choking on its own blood and it was no longer the menacing bear but instead an innocent little puppy. At this point I thought "Oh my god I took datura and now I'm delirious and just killed an innocent puppy and was hallucinating. I have to hide it's body. Did anyone see me? It's broad daylight. What have I done?!" I never noticed I had fallen asleep or was now miles away from home at my sisters house for no apparent reason. I saw the poor animal gasping for air and I couldn't stand it so I tore (yeah, tore, with a fork thing, because I had no knives) its throat open so it would die instantly and stop suffering. It was very grotesque and detailed, I hated every second of it. I had blood all over my hands and felt like a psychopath, how could my life ever be the same after this?


I woke up soon after with a few false awakenings and imagining seeing myself doing random things like ironing clothes, taking bread out of the toaster, and pouring myself a glass of water, only to find myself back in bed.

I would never go to waking life delirum doses of datura but I do plan on continuing to take 2-3 seed doses for oneiric purposes. I feel that Lady Datura is testing me but I'm not giving up that easily, I'm gonna fight off the night terrors until I become lucid so I may speak to her and find out why she tries to invoke fear in her users.

I remember becoming lucid in some strange house. I can't remember what triggered me. I felt the textures of the wall paper. I looked closely at my hands and was amazed at the realistic detail. A few simple math equations and reality checks later, and I was stable.

I explored the house a bit and attempted to shoot lightning from my finger, but then decided to spin. I ended up in some strange mall. I grabbed some new clothes and put them on. I have an idea when I'm in the change room that I want to ask one of the DCs that I saw in the store about their thoughts on God or something interesting like that, but when I got out of the change room, the dream had changed to some hockey arena with a game going on. One of the players who was out on a penalty was a bit scary and was trying to intimidate me, but the great thing about being lucid is that you aren't afraid at all. I hadn't managed lightening from my finger tip yet, but I was able to give him a little zap, which seemed to shut him up.

I started to spin I ended up in the backyard of my place, but it was different than normal. My friend was there and I didn't mention that I was dreaming for a while. Then I had an idea that maybe she was dreaming too and this was also part of her dream, so I asked her what other dreams she has had tonight so that I could talk to her about it when awake. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she said “this is a dream?!”. She didn't remember the other dreams she's had though. I remember her looking around and saying “what is this place? It's like home, but it's different". I said I didn't know, the dream world was strange. I pointed out that it is march in the waking world, but in the dream world it was clearly autumn. Also the backyard was much like ours, but nicer. Maybe it was what I wished it could be like or something. We talked about the dream for a while and I showed her how I can put my finger through my palm. I practiced shooting a lightning bolt through my finger a bit more. I couldn't do it at first, but then I got the hang of it.

She asked something about dream characters, and I said that you could talk to them easily while lucid. We walk across the street to the park and I point to all the people there. A few of them aren't even people, but strange creatures. We go up to one of these creatures and say hello. He is like a large potato with legs, covered in brown fur. He says he is all stuffed up and needs cold medicine.

We go back to the house to get some, but get distracted by trying to fly. I have problems at first, because every time I jump up and into the air, I just land on my stomach. I have to keep reassuring myself that it is a dream and I can fly with practice. Finally I'm able to let go and trust the dream, and I don't fall on my belly. I lift up and fly up to the trees in my back yard. My friend gets a hang of it too. The trees are frosty and covered in ice all of a sudden, and the sky is red and gray. After floating around for a bit I start to lose my lucidity and then I wake up.

I logged onto a Minecraft server and built a strange bridge. It went in loops and snaked around instead of following the most efficient path. I seemed to be limited to a fairly small area, but the buildings reached much higher into the sky than normally possible. After completing my bridge, I returned to the ground to prepare a new weapon. I wondered if I could make a crossbow… I tried a bunch of combinations of items with no luck. When I arranged five normal bows in the rough shape of a crossbow, I was able to make one. I sensed that, like in Ragnarok, I could refine the weapon if I found the necessary ore. I went looking for phracon to use on it. MadMonkey from Dreamviews walked up to me, and I thought he was going to kill me for my items, so I shot him three times and killed him. He didn’t lose anything, so he didn’t seem to mind. I wandered around a bit and got into a fight with another player. He had diamond armor, but I was still able to kill him. The problem came when his friends teamed up against me… They started using super powers – shooting beams of blue light at me, moving at twice normal speed, and absorbing my health, for example. I tried to activate my own super powers, but it seemed I didn’t have any yet. Lame! I decided I would log off before they killed me rather than lose all of my belongings. Unfortunately, I died just before I disconnected. I saw my stuff spill onto the ground before the client closed.

The dream jumped. I logged back onto the server in a safe area at the top of a gigantic skyscraper. I started jumping to increase my acrobatics skill (as though this was an Elder Scrolls game). I thought that if I leveled up my skills, I would be able to use super powers like the others. One of the guys I fought earlier mentioned my name in the chat.

“Nice fight!” I said to him. The people who killed me seemed friendly. The only one I didn’t get along with was the guy who attacked me in the first place.

I am in some sort of facility. It is colorful and futuristic. I am living in this facility.

There is a man who works there. He is cutting my toe nails. I feel really awkward. I like this guy.

I am in a large dark room. The walls are electric blue. There is a very large screen, it looks like a television screen and it is glowing. There is no bed and no furniture. I know that this is ‘my bedroom’.

I am going up a stair well. I am not supposed to be in the stair well. I think I am going to see the guy from before. I am outside the facility. I am not supposed to leave the property. I cross a little creek. It is fall weather and all the plants are yellow. I am running away from the place and I feel like someone is chasing me. I begin to run like a horse. My run continues to evolve. I start to leap. I begin to be able to leap longer distances at a time. I reach a barn.

I am standing in front of a man. He is important looking. He is sitting at a desk, he has grey hair. I want him to leave my dream. All the while I am continuing to rub my hands and look at them. I feel rushed, I’m afraid that I will lose my lucidity. I try to will him away. His image becomes a little bit wavy. It doesn’t seem to work so I decide to reach into my back pocket (I realize that I am wearing jeans). I know I don’t have money but I try to make it appear so that I can bribe this man to leave my dream.

This is all I remember.

I WILDed and found myself in some sort of hotel room. I could see a counter top with some lights above it and slid my hand along the edge as I walked past. Looking down at the ground I saw a couple odd globs of green and blue on the carpet. I decided to step on one and squished it. I could tell the dream wasn't very stable so I walked over to a wall and started rubbing my hands on it to try to increase the vividness and keep the dream going, but it collapsed around me anyway.
I DEILDed out of my bed, but instead of crawling out of my body like I normally do. My butt floated out while the rest of me continued to lay in bed. I was able to move my butt and pull my face along the sheets. I slid myself off the bed and started spinning in circles to try to get a dream going. I started seeing my Dad's backyard, but it was extremely blurry so I continued spinning until BAM it was perfectly vivid as real as real life. I could see each individual blade of grass and I was really excited I was able to get the dream so vivid just by spinning. I put my face into the grass and smelled it and then grabbed up a handful and threw it into the wind and watched the blades float away. I remembered two of the things I wanted to do in a lucid dream, smoke a blunt, and eat a piece of fruit for the TOTM. I reached into my pocket and found a blunt. However it was poorly rolled and falling apart, so I sat down on the grass with my back to the wind and thought about trying to stop the wind, but decided it would be too difficult and it would probably just collapse the dream. I started rerolling the blunt licking and tasting the tobacco paper. But as I was doing this the dream collapsed and I found myself back in bed.
I DEILD again this time also by spinning. I found my self about where I had left off, but I forgot about the blunt. I was thinking about my breathing for some reason, it felt like it was hard to breathe. So instead of only breathing out my nose I started breathing out my mouth as well, and it seemed to increase the vividness, so I was excited. As soon as I started walking around the dream started to become unstable again though. My visuals were almost gone so I ran to a tree and bear hugged it with my arms and legs. I started pulling the bark off with my hands and feeling each piece of bark get torn off the tree. I started slowly climbing the tree as I ripped off the bark. I guess I was kind of humping the tree so I started to get horny and thinking about how I would go about finding a girl, but then I remembered I still needed to eat a piece of fruit! I got off the tree and walked towards my Dad's back door. I noticed that the door was covered in spiders webs with multiple spiders on it. I couldn't decide if I wanted to grab it or find another way inside. I decided since it was just a dream I should just ignore them and open the door. But at that moment I felt something on my back and realized I wasn't wearing a shirt. I started trying to reach around and brush off whatever was on my back, and the dream collapsed in my over excitement.
I DEILDed again and found my self standing in front of the back door, but the door was open and a girl I used to go to school with was walking inside. I thought it was weird that a girl was able to open a spider infested door when I wasn't, but ignored it and followed her inside. My Dad was there and he noticed I was going straight for the fridge. He started listing off all the different things he had for me to eat, but I told him all I wanted was a piece of fruit. He explained that they were kind of old and after I pulled one out for my self, he pulled out a couple and started cutting of brown spots to give one to the girl that was with me. I looked at the fruit and it looked like a deformed pear/apple combination. I took a bite and chewed it, it tasted like a combination between a pear and apple which I expected. My Dad started explaining that he needed to leave and as he was droning on and on that I should watch after the house while he was gone the dream collapsed again!
I DEILDed and found myself back in the kitchen where I left off. I picked up the fruit that was wrapped in paper towel to soak up any juice that leaked out. I continued eating the fruit and the paper towel together, I was too lazy to move the paper out of the way, and it was an interesting texture. I noticed my Dad continuing to talk about things I might need to know while he was gone. He mentioned something about how the truck didn't have a license plate so I shouldn't drive it unless I had a really good reason too. This dream collapsed really quickly as he was explaining random things.
I tried to DEILD again, but I just couldn't I guess I wasn't tired enough to sleep any more and just woke up.

My dream recall's been a bit poor ever since my massive recall the other day. Last night saw a small bit of progress, but probably my second worst lucid dream so far.

I'm at my original home and it's my birthday. My parents aren't there for it but contact my via a video link and apologise and tell me that they love me very much. I see at the bottom of my bed that they have left me a present - it turns out to be a huge packet of jelly beans (note - my bedroom is in its pre-decorated state). The next thing I know, I am walking past Costcutter (again! dream sign?) with my sister Z_ and B_. We're discussing the delicious of nature of pork pies. As we pass the shop I see someone I recognise, I double take and sure enough it's Charlie Sheen. I instantly know that I'm dreaming and panic. I scramble about from side to side to find something to ground myself with but much of the dreamscape seems to have disappeared and is largely a blank, white space. I find myself in what I know to be a dream bed and RC again, but it's too late and I awake in my real bed.

At this point I tried to DEILD, successfully keeping my eyes wide shut, however the extent to which I dipped back into the dream wasn't enough so i carried on sleeping normally.


During the day today I decided to have a WILD attempt as I've really been slacking off with this since the start of my LD efforts. I managed to get some very subtle WILD sensations and almost felt myself float out of my body. Again this wasn't enough to completely disconnect or start a lucid dream.



So all in all a day and night of mixed success. At least I managed to become lucid, even if it was brief and at least I began to feel WILD sensations again.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! I'm removing a part of the title, and I also didn't expect very much from last night. Did have a few dreams though, and I'm satisified with what I dreamt.

21.50: Sleep

05.10: Matte on ice
I'm playing hockey with a bunch of guys. Peter Forsberg is on the other team. "You'll get it" I tell him jokingly. He bumps into me and I can tell he's rock solid. I'm screwed if he decides to bring me down. The game ends and we start to talk. "I can't do anything, except skate well" I tell him and start spinning around and going backwards on the ice. I make small V's in the ice, and he mimicks me, only his V's are much nicer. We're on some kind of lake and it's night out. I fall and check out the ice closer up. "There is ice crystals and symbols all over the ice" I say and point at it. It's quite cool.

We skate around for a while more, and end up by a small hill. He goes up it with ease, but I don't make it. A girl comes crashing down the hill. and I dodge her. A coworker shows up, he starts talking to a crowd that suddenly appeared, about some keys. "Someone left their key in the snow, and he won't get another one" he tells them, and looks at me. I remember putting the key in the snow, damn. "92% of the people has their keys still, bla bla bla bla". I get out of there and I'm quite annoyed at this point. The crowd turns into a fantasy party of people, and the leader tells us it's time to go.

05.10: Fragments
*I'm having a fight with my dad and my mom. "I'm both physically, and mentally exhausted!" I yell at them. "I can barely do anything when I get home". They don't seem to listen to me. I decide to fall just like that backwards, and smack my head on the floor, hard. I lie there for a while.

*I'm watching a map. It's got some info about spices and the spice I'm looking at is only located at a small island. I try to locate where it is, and find the equator. It's just above Italy. I'm confused.

05.10: Wake up

Amount of sleep: 7 hours

Supplements: None

That's it! Sweet.

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Just like my first lucid dream, this was after a night out... I'm starting to think I can only lucid dream when I'm drunk...

I was lying in bed, on my side. On the other side of the bed I could see a figure forming and I realised I was falling asleep, but my brain was awake. The figure was blurry, but it suddenly turned into my boyfriend. We just lay there for a moment before I woke up and he disappeared.

I realised I'd just had my first WILD experience, so I didn't move until my body fell asleep again. He appeared again, next to me. I began to lose vision as things became blurry. I remembered a technique I've seen in Amity's blog where she demands clarity and it happens. So I said out loud, "I demand clarity" and everything became perfectly clear again.
I rolled over and saw Amity. Everything looked so real, I began to believe it was reality. Amity reached over and held my hands. She pushed my left index finger through my right hand to prove I was dreaming. I asked her what I should do now that I'm finally lucid (as we've been discussing lucid dreaming for nearly a year). She said, "It's time to mess with reality." She held my little finger and bent it right back, breaking it. She giggled as my face screwed up, waiting for the pain that never came. I did the same to the rest of my fingers on my left hand. Then decided to pull my left index finger right off. It detached like rubber, stretching and snapping back after it broke off.
Then I woke up.

Dream - Lucid - AP

Did some MILD mantras ("I will become lucid, I will recognize dream signs...") during meditation before bed for about half an hour.

I was at my house. I was signing up for classes for next semester, and I got all the ones I needed (yay!). Then, I found out that the girl my brother has liked for a long time (who claims to not return the feeling), was trying to prevent any other girls from talking to him. I was getting really pissed that she would do such a thing. I then remember trying to figure out when I needed to leave for class. I was very relieved that I had gotten all the classes I need to graduate.

Then, I remember getting out of the shower and thinking about my brother's situation with the girl. Instead of putting lotion on my legs, I took a box of brown sugar, poured some out on my hands, and started rubbing that on my legs. It started to lather. Weird.

Then, I remember doing something for work. I was talking to this old couple, and they were telling me about some deal they wanted with these customer cards they had. They told me all these numbers to write in the blank boxes that were on the cards. Someone then came and handed them new cards. One of them said "Orgasm" on it, and it was given to the lady. Again, weird.

I was then at an ice skating rink with Ryan. It was dimly lit. We were skating around, and then we had to clear the floor because figure skaters were going to perform. I sat down on a couch next to the old couple from earlier. Ryan sat on a couch behind me. I watched a couple skate around the rink, and they kept messing up. The announcer kept going "Ohhh!" every time they'd mess up. The last move the girl did, she almost fell, but tried to gracefully pose at the end of the routine to cover it up.

I then heard Ryan's voice behind me, and he asked me to come sit back with him. I skated to the couch behind me to sit with him. I sat down, and there was a pillar in the way of my vision, and I couldn't see very well. I contemplated moving back up, and I told him I was going to, but I never did.

After this, I woke up to use the bathroom, and did a couple more MILD mantras as I was falling back to sleep.

~

I was at Hogwarts. I was in a forest, and there were trees that were crawling on their branches. They could not walk on their roots because they had been cut down. They reminded me of the trees in Lord of the Rings. I then saw trees weeping, water cascading from their leaves, branches, and faces (they did have faces). People were cutting them down and tearing them up to build some new addition to Hogwarts. In the dream, I (appropriately) called them the Weeping Willows.

Then, I was inside the school, talking to two women, when I realized I was dreaming. I walked the other direction and into an attic-like room. It was dark, and the walls, ceiling, and floor were all made of a dark-colored wood. In the middle of the room stood a girl of about 11 or 12. She was wearing scrubs and was kind of chubby. Besides all that, she looked almost just like me, especially in the face. I looked at her and said
"This is a dream!"
Crap, I thought, why did I say that? I know better.
She replied, with a smile,
"No it isn't."
I then asked her
"What's your name?"
"Susie," she replied.
I then said
"Susie...watch this!"
I jumped up onto a table, and turned the lights of the room on by commanding them to do so. I then jumped into the air and flew. I flew through the ceiling to a room that looked very similar to the one I was just in. Susie said something to me, I'm not sure what anymore, but she sounded happy and excited.

I was working for the company that Ryan works for in waking life. I had a house right down the street from Ryan, and Austin, an ex, was Ryan's next door neighbor. I had the van that Ryan has to drive for his job. It was parked in my driveway.

I was in the van when Austin came over. He entered the van, and started to make out with me. His pants were down, and I could see everything. I pulled away and told him
"No, I can't Austin, I have a boyfriend."
He got up off me and stopped trying to seduce me. He went back to his house.

Ryan then came over, and was trying to explain some things about the job to me. Another van pulled up in my driveway and started to load things into it. Ryan told me that was normal. I remember seeing a saw with a black handle and 3 other tools next to my van, but I can't remember what the rest were. Upon second glance, they were gone. I figured Ryan must have picked them up.

Then, I was driving the van on the interstate, and I lost control of it. I couldn't brake and I was stuck in the middle of a turn. I was also going very fast. I tried to stay calm, and I hoped I was dreaming.

Hey, look at that, I'm dreaming again! I flew out of the top of the van to escape, and flew up, up, up into the night sky. I tried calling out "Increase vividness!", but the dream faded.

Then, I had a false awakening in the van. It was morning now, and Ryan was there. I asked him what had happened. He said something about the van, something about finding me unconscious somewhere.

Well, I had a few other dreams before this but I was far too lazy to get up and write them down. Maybe I'll remember them later...

I woke up and was too tired to look at the clock and I must have slipped back into a dream that I was sitting at this computer reading the DV chat and said to myself "Oh, the timestamp says it's only 7am, I can sleep for another hour or two"

Next dream I was in an amusement park on this ride that was a giant yellow metal wheel that spun. You didn't get strapped in or secured to this wheel at all, you just held on for dear life. I found this quite easy to do and the ride was a lot of fun. I saw a kid on the ride next to me try to spit on someone on the ground and yelled "That's disgusting!" to the kid. I remember I was there with this couple that were in front of me and they said something to me but I don't quite remember what it was.

The ride stopped, I got off and walked around the park for a minute and started to walk by this jungle-gym type thing and saw a blonde woman (Who looked a lot like Olivia from fringe) walk up and sit beside this young boy. Instantly I knew I was there to inject them with a mind control drug. I got a syringe out from my pocket and threw it like a dart at the woman and it hit her on her lower back. I didn't give the drug to the kid and I over heard the woman talking to her son about how he is suddenly uninterested in anything in school. Then I woke up.

Boyscouts vs. the Fire Nation

Holden my brother, Tyler and I are hanging around downtown. We’re on this outside deck looking over the parking lot in the center of all the shops. I look over at a part of the brick buildings to my right that’s made of wood all the way from bottom to top. It’s made of strips of wood intersecting like X’s, like a foundation of a porch on some houses. Between the X’s I can see an old decaying sign.

At the same moment, Tyler seems to spot it: “Look, remember Weatherfields?!”

“Fuck yeah, I loved that place,” I say. It was an old restaurant that everyone went to as children (such a place doesn’t actually exist). Holden says he never went there, but I assure him he did.

In front of us, a few people get out of a little car. It’s a family it seems.

“Let’s go, there’s Kirstie Alley,” Holden says and starts walking out of the deck, into the parking lot and away from the family. It wasn’t only a fat joke, but the mom of the family also looked like Kirstie Alley, the actress. She was huge and was wearing a pink dress down to her ankles. Her flubby arms swung and instead of walking, she seemed to just tip in the direction she wished to go and flowed with inertia.

Holden, Tyler and I went to Goodwill, which was across the parking lot. Inside, I ran into the toys section which my dream-self never really does (Goodwill doesn’t have a toys section, and the whole place was more of a real store like a small WalMart). Tyler followed me and we began talking about wanting it to be summer out so we can play with water guns.

A couple started quarreling in the aisle so we left and went up front. There, we looked inside one of those claw machines. There was a really interesting looking umbrella. At first, I didn’t even know it was an umbrella. It had spikes in bands all around it, intricately engraved motifs from the handle to the top of it, where they followed the paths of metal in the shading part.

“Jack, you can have that blue one,” Tyler says. She points to a similar umbrella although colored light blue, making it kind of ugly. Where did Jack even come from? He has an ugly little face of anger when she makes this jab, and then he disappears.

Tyler and I touch a lot of soft stuffed animals in a big metal bin. I am particularly attracted to a white elephant and can’t stop touching it. Eventually, Holden asks us to leave because he’s bored of Goodwill, so we do.

The scene becomes us walking around Winslow, our neighboring town. Holden is a boyscouts parade soon, and Tyler and I are just following him around. Tyler’s smoking but doesn’t want her cigarettes anymore for whatever reason and asks if I’d like them. I think for a second and say sure. One is unlit and one is lit. I put the unlit one in my pocket and look at the lit one: where the flame should be, there is a hologram of a tiny flag that dissolves if you wave it back and forth. I take a drag and nothing really happens, no smoke, nothing.

We are walking up this big hill and I see my friend Autumn. She’s wearing a boyscout uniform just like the guys. It’s funny for me because she’s pretty big and walking up this big hill and doing dude-things with scouts, which is not of character for her. Not on the dream-plane, though!

“Autumn, why are you even a boyscout anymore?” I ask. She shrugs her shoulders and we talk about something (but I rarely remember dialogue in my dreams at all).

We get to the top of the hill. Tyler, Holden, and my old friend Cholage are at the top and want to slide down.

“What the fuck, you’ll probably die!” I say and make notice of the four-way intersection at the bottom (all of this is accurate in waking life). They all shrug their shoulders and start sliding down anyway. They just jump and their feet slide on the pavement, moving it as if it was very slippery and malleable mud. I don’t want to look like a coward so I start sliding too.

I’m half-way down and everyone else is at the bottom so I decide to call it quits. I can’t stop easily so I ram myself into a building on the side of the hill and then slide over and join Holden, Tyler and Cholage. They are on this floating house with a floating front yard, all of it on top of a small inlet. I’m really afraid of it sinking because I don’t want to get wet. Holden laughs at me because of how afraid I am, and I laugh too.

I look over and Tyler and Cholage are nearly naked making out with eachother. Holden is laughing and they both have smiles on their faces. I have an intuitive thought that they are doing this to make me jealous (though I’m not really attracted to either of them). I don’t want to seem jealous. But! I fall while the floating yard bobs in the water and my face lands right near their nude bodies. Whoops.

Holden and I start walking with the boyscouts as their parade starts. There’s a ton of boyscouts on the sidelines, but no actual onlookers. I think of how embarrassing this is, but no one minds. While Holden walks in the parade, I ask him about Avatar.
“We should watch Avatar sometime, I love that show. I’m re-watching all the episodes,” I say. He kind of nods, uninterested. “Have you seen the movie?”

“No. It’s not Miyamoto’s best.” (Why did my mind choose Miyamoto as the director??)

“Yeah I haven’t seen it either, I think they cast Aang wrong. He looks so serious,” I say. Holden agrees and we talk about it for awhile. I make a face, impersonating the actor.

Suddenly, the Fire Nation is attacking the parade! (I love how the mind works ) Everyone is running all over the place. Most of the boyscouts are Air Benders, like me. I get separated and am by myself, almost surrounded by opponents. Luckily, most of them are engaged with other battles and don’t notice me. One, in front of me, however, sends a giant flame dragon head at me. Its jaw is chomping as it comes closer. I close my eyes and focus my energy on the most powerful air attack I could do right now. I cross my arms, and when I uncross them, I send a wave of forceful air in its direction. The dragon head splits into smaller flaming heads that dissolve as someone pulls a big blanket of salt water over everyone. It’s sticky.



Around me, big booming voices are telling their followers to say a certain word that will bring them to safety. I see one of the voices re-embodied. It’s a God, a leafy Earth God that is putting all his devotees into a vortex as they say the correct word.
My friend Gabe says it, and I look at him strangely. He was always an atheist! I say the word, too, hoping for salvation, and I black out.

I wake up in a recovery area. Everyone is sitting on leafy clouds. My surroundings are dim. Holden is here, but Tyler isn’t. Heather’s friend Brittany is in front of me. For some reason, she pulls me really close to her and is making very affectionate moves! I apologize when our faces stick together because of how salty I am. She doesn’t mind, and starts kissing me. I wake up.


Illegal Drive

In the middle of the night, Tyler texted me and asked if I had any money for weed. I said no and went back to sleep.
In my dream, I am in the school, but under it, in this really cool art workshop that no one knows about. I get a text from Tyler and she asks if I have any money for McDonalds. I decide that I will take my car and get her some, even though I don’t have my license.

My car is underground where I am at the school, so I just go get it and drive off. I drive fine until I get to McDonalds, where I forget to stop at the window. I’m embarrassed so I just decide to drive home. I find that I’m going 80 down a hill and can’t stop. Eventually I hit the breaks. I turn into this little section of the parking lot in downtown. I try to keep going on this “road” but I find the only ways to go are up some…stairs? Shit, I am driving in a pedestrian park. I back out and go home.

False Awakening: I wake up and don’t know if it was all a dream or not. I tell my mom, hesitantly, that my car may or may not be here, and I may or may not have driven it last night. She laughs and says it was just a dream. Okay good!


Climbing The Tower

There is a big tower. A bunch of kids are climbing it, it’s some game. It turns into a tunnel halfway up and then disappears, turning over and extending some other way. I try to climb it but, like a lot of the kids, I fall. It’s a difficult game-like structure. I see how some of the more “advanced” kids are climbing it and mimic them.

I “get” how to climb it now, so I’m doing it all really easily. I pass most of the kids who I learned from. The newest part that I see is a green rope at the top of the tower that you hold on to as you fall off the side of it, into a swampy area. The tower was clearly just the beginning of a really cool journey.

I don’t grab onto the rope, I just kind of let my fingers glide over it as I jump into the swamp. A lot of kids “die” (and re-enter at the entrance to the whole tower) here. I walk around the tower in the swamp and come to weird area with a bunch of circular steps with newspaper over them. I hop along them, passing this area, and find myself in another swamp land.

There’s another tower which a few kids are trying to climb. I use my climbing skills and pass them as well. The top of the tower is a cool club house! There’s a few other “winners” inside, and we talk about the tower and just hang out.

Something happens, and the scene changes. I want to go to the club house again. I pass all the kids trying, and at the step area, I see why people have a lot of trouble here: the steps are made of pure ice. Because I hopped passed them, I didn’t come in contact with them enough to notice.

In the club house, there’s only a girl inside. Where’d all the cool winners go? She wants me to help her lure a Dryad from the swamp. First she suggest I set my Dryad Bow (?) into the water, but I assume she’ll take it. Instead, she puts her shiny Chaos Gloves (from Guild Wars) into the water, but nothing comes. I feel bad.




Fragment

I’m at school in a classroom I’ve never seen. I sit out back with my friend Celina. I haven’t been to class in awhile I assume, because everyone is working on some project and have pages of notes, and I have none. I don’t really care.

Chase calls me over from the other side of the room. He explains what we’re doing: making our own cereal boxes. I’m excited. It incorporates English somehow by having us add propaganda to the box. The project seems really fun. I want to make my box funny, so on the bottom I put the Surgeon General’s Warning.

I hadn't had an interesting dream in a while now, and had poor dream recall, which is unlike me. This, however, i felt was interesting enough to at least remember. It was my last dream i had last night.

I was on/in a wall in a labyrinth. A woman entered the labyrinth and was aimlessly wandering around. She was near middle age and was plump. She was wearing a fancy pant-suite and had excessive jewelry on. Her hair was cut just above the shoulders and was dyed blonde. She is the kind of woman i often see.
I was smokey and dark. My form cold be solid or smoke, depending on what i wished. My eyes were wide and i watched her wander. I slipped down off of the wall and followed her. I believe she was another dreamer.
I had something to tell her, something she'd like to know. She turned around and looked at me. I was half-solid. I looked at her with my wide eyes.
"You will be destroyed unless you transform yourself into something better."
"what do you mean?" she asked but she knew exactly what i meant.
"Sell everything you have. Leave your life. Be rid of your riches, or they will poison you like an adder. Go into the wilderness, you are already dead, but there you may come back to life." I did not care about her fate, but i was compelled to tell her. I had an idea that i was an oracle, but i'm not sure. She seemed to take me fairly seriously, but i sensed in her that she was contorting my words to fit her comfort. When she wakes up she might think of what i had told her, halfway serious at first, and then dismiss it as only a dream.
I followed her back to the entrance of the labyrinth and let her leave.
i woke up.
