    1. My Essay about Lucid Dreaming (Thanks DV - got an A)

      by , 01-15-2011 at 02:01 AM
      Just pinch yourself. As a prospect lucid dreamer I find my days becoming full of these Reality checks like this; I look twice at a digital clock to ensure the numbers have not changed to symbols, and the reassurance of a working light switch is enough to send me on my way knowing that what was happening around me was apart of my “reality.” I do these Reality checks in hopes that when I am dreaming I will remember to check for signs of Reality and in doing so realize that I am asleep and everything surrounding me is only a projection of my subconscious. But the questionable “reality” of our dreams raises another question in itself. How do we know what is real and what is false? For dreams feel real when you’re in them, its only when you wake up that you realize something was actually odd. This paper will be an investigation into finding Reality and if one can do so with absolute certainty.
      When I first began exploring the topic my immediate reaction was one of disbelief. I thought back to the simple act of doing Reality checks and surmised that that was sufficient to determine the validity of the woken state. However on further examination I found the term “Reality check” was in itself and oxymoron. It relied on the assumption that the woken state is in fact Reality, as all checks designed to determine Reality essentially boil down to finding out how much our current state relates to the woken state. Which my preconceptions out of the way I was able to isolate the one process at our dispense for determining what is real: the senses. It seemed the most logical place to start as all Reality checks revolve around the senses and without them there is no other viable method. So I then was able to narrow this essay into a discussion of the validity of the senses.
      In determining the validity of ones senses it is critical to understand their origin. Each one of the five senses is created through the process of outside stimuli sending signals through the body’s receptors (tongue, eyes, ears, nose, nervous system) that reach the brain cortex which then reproduces a response in a split second which forms one of the five senses. However this process raises the question of the validity of dreams; how is it that in so called “unreality” we can reproduce the senses without outside stimuli? While the stimulus that forms the dream senses seems organic it is actually a reproduction created absent outside influence and transmitted to the brain. In this way one can surmise that one determines real things by he recognition between outside and internal sensory stimuli. This narrows the debate to one question: how do we determine that stimuli are real. The lucid dream experience is best summarized by my friend Jon Sussman who has been a lucid dreamer for most of his life: “Waking up from smelling a rose to the smell of bread cooking in your kitchen is a revelation in and of itself, but shortly afterwards you are still asking yourself if the rose was more real than the bread,” (Jon Sussman). In his experience Sussman has been unable to distinguish between his senses in the dream and the senses of waking consciousness. Through this one is forced to come to the conclusion that the senses cannot determine between dreams and Reality as it is impossible to distinguish senses created though outside and internal stimuli.
      So what conclusion can we come to? If we cannot determine between dreams and waking consciousness than how do we know that waking consciousness is real and not a series of internal stimuli created by an alternate state? The short answer is that we can’t; at our current level of knowledge our only method of determining reality is by its inter-subjective legitimacy. Thus I propose a redefinition of the word “reality:” reality n. – a state of mind believed to be valid and without fabrication. In arriving at this definition I do not require that waking consciousness is in fact entirely fabricated, just that it is impossible to tell if it is not. As Edgar Allen Poe put it: “All that we see or seem
      Is but a dream within a dream,” (Poe A Dream Within A Dream). In this way we can hope to approach the world with a thoughtfulness that is not bound by the limitations of woken consciousness, but transcends this state and searches for answers beyond our current comprehension. It is in this way that we are truly able to search for what’s real.

    2. Full Moons

      by , 01-15-2011 at 01:35 AM
      I was on a train with the majority of my family, but I was sitting with my aunt and my cousin. The train stopped at an old fashioned town with strange stores. Everyone got off the train excet my aunt, my cousin, and I. We stayed because the town didn't seem right. It was too creepy. Instead, we explored the train but after a while, seeing as no one was coming back any time soon, we decided to leave the train.

      We all walked into a building and then into someone's bedroom. It was full of dolls. We sat down at a small table near the center. After we sat down my aunt looked at me and said "Look at the wall behind me." I thought it was strange that she would ask that but I looked none the less. Behind her on the wall was a giant cockroach with wings just crawling up the wall. We tried to kill it but it was very fast and it began attacking us back. Strange things kept happening. The dolls in the room started coming to life and began attacking us as well. In the midst of the madness my aunt got trapped underneath a bed. It took us a while to save her, but we did. After we got her out, I asked one of the dolls why she was alive and she said "Only on the full moon."

      There were others in the house (my dream became third person; I could see what was going on in other rooms). Apparently they worked there and also changed during the full moon. They were typically deformed people from medieval times but once the full moon came their deformities went away and they turned black and white (like an old film). I suppose they were cursed with eternal life or something.

      The people who worked there wanted to kill us too. I tried to have my little cousin escape but she was seen and about to be taken by the medieval people when a group of hairless werewolves came to through the window. It was very dramatic. The jumped through with a giant full moon showing behind them. The medieval people were very afraid of these wolves. So, the wolves ended up saving us.

      First of all, all of my entries are supposed to say 2011 but I wrote 2010, sorry!
      --------

      My Mum and I were stuck on this cliff kind of thing. There were two sides seperated and a thin bit connecting them in the middle. We were on that bit, our legs hanging over one end, and our faces the other. Below us was another boulder (We were high up, I say boulder because I don't know how else to describe it). I somehow felt like we had been in the situation before. I kept spitting on the boulder below us and somehow writing on it with my mind or something. My mum kept telling me of for doing this but I still did it, one time I nearly spat on her. I started to think I should get down but was a little worried because the boulder curved down so I could easily slip.

      After a little thinking I was suddenly on the boulder with the show, The Office. Toby did something bad and he got told off, so he kind of ran a little like a little kid.

      I was now sitting at a table on the boulder with members of The Office and Family Guy writers, Seth MacFarlane and Alec Sulkin. I talked with Seth and everyone else didn't say a word. Mostly we talked about twitter and I was complimenting him and he would joke around.

    5. being held hostage

      by , 01-14-2011 at 11:11 PM
      okay so this dream starts out where im in a librbry. i have no clue why? and it doesnt look like any library ive been to. its a huge one in a circular/domed building. like it would belong in a harry potter movie. so im in this library and for some reason its really disorganized and people are throwing books all over the place. i forgot to mention there are alot of people here it packed. i dont reconize anyone except my family [minus my brother...he's not there.] my cousin allie is there. umm i dont remember alot of what happened. but absolute chaos seems to ensue with the presence of this evil bad guy. accually its a woman. she is pure evil. but thats all i remember of her...i even forgot what she looked like. suddenly where at this river. and me and my family are leaning over the shallow bank. and i see a dead fish. so i pick up the dead fish and i see another fish. this one is specifically a catfish. i throw the smaller dead fish to the catfish and he eats it. then my mom catches the catfish. then my dream shifts back to the evil library/woman scene. and one person is dead. i dont know this person. but im ditressed and i cry for them. the family is trying to be comforted while everyone is running around to find the exit. then i relize there is no exit. i get seperated from my family and i somehow find myself on the second level of the library. i run into my cousin allie. and were trying to get away. where not even being chased or followed. we just know that a person died from that evil thing. and that everyone else is running around and we decided we needed to blend in. i run into my dad and we try to find my mom but we cant find them. then another person is killed. this time its a little boy. and i feel alot more sympathy for him than i did the first death. my dream shifts again. this time no one is running around. the library looks cleaner. and theres only about 100 people. in group of 6 or 10 or 8 to 7. i relize everyone is huddled with there families. i look around and yes. my parents sisters and cousin are with me. the evil woman is noo where to be found. but everyone is scared and huddled. no one dared to speak. im confused.........

    6. First night of attempted SD and nightmare-fixing

      by , 01-14-2011 at 11:03 PM (Beyond the Horizon)
      My cousin is sleeping over for a few days, and we are trying to have a shared dream together. As she was falling alseep she twitched a lot. She told me it was from bad dreams. We will fix this

      NIGHT 1:

      Dream 1:

      I was with a few friends outside my house. It was cloudy. We were just playing around and having fun, then we went inside and there was something wrong, like a feeling of imminent danger. I thought how cool it would be if it was a dream. I said it out loud, and everyone in the room was all like "Does this LOOK like a dream to you?".

      The dream looked and FELT so real. It was the most convincing dream I have ever had. Nevertheless, I said "This is a dream," just to be sure. Then the lucidity "unlocked" and I got goosebumps. I ran out the door and I think I flew, then a noise woke me up instantly.

      Dream 2:

      I was at primary school (OMG) doing work experience. I hadn't been there the last few days in the dream, so when I went to my supervising teacher to ask where to go, she said "Who were you with before?". I tried to remember, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't remember the teacher's name. So I tried to describe her and how she had curly hair but it's naturally straight, and she curls it using those cylinder things you put in your hair. She had no idea who I was talking about, so I just went to a random classroom.

      Turns out she was another teacher I had. She was angry at me for not being here for a few days, but in my head I thought it was a public holiday. The kids were grade 1 so they were being taught the first five letters of the alphabet, and they all repeated it.

      Later I was in the main concrete area, and I saw my church friends. IRL, we had just come back from a camp in a place called Toowoomba, which is having horrific floods at the moment. We escaped one day before the place flooded.
      Suddenly we were at a campsite (didn't see THAT coming) and we were walking around some random bush track, but the bush wasn't very thick, and the path was very wide like a road.
      There was water on the path, like a massive puddle about 30 metres long. We had just walked through it when we heard an announcement saying that the water was electrified from lightning and was poisonous as well. I stayed at the edge of the puddle, but my friend LostInLA started wading back through the water to where we came from, thinking it was better. I called out but she didn't hear me.

      Dream 3:

      I was at a beach place, like where I normally go for a holiday. My mum and dad were driving me to the unit we have rented. It was a nice day, but the whole time there was a feeling of imminent danger. We were inside the unit, and my dad was in the bathroom grooming in the mirror as if for a special occasion. My mum was nearby. In my room, there was a toilet next to my bed.
      For some reason, I asked my mum if I could jerk off before we go (seriously wtf?), to which she explained that I'm not supposed to ask, just not be caught :S.
      We were outside again and I think that "danger" came and I woke up


      In all the dreams, it was cloudy. Today it was cloudy.


      Cousin's dream:

      She was with me and her mum at the shops near her house, and it flooded.

      Jan. 13-14
      In my dream I was going to the tattoo parlor to finish up my sleeve...(I have a half sleeve with a few open areas)...the tattoo I was getting was a red diamond with deep purple in it. It was surrounded by deep gorgeous colors and simply looked beautifull. I hadnt actually gotten the tattoo but could see it on my arm before she put it on for some reason. I remember sitting down with my friend on my left side...the artist was a female that had black hair an was, herself, overed in tattoos. She started the outline and I transitioned into another dream.
      It was apparently the last day on earth. My sister was driving her fiancé truck (it looked exactly like my truck from high school *1983 chevy scotsdale) it was silver low to the ground and loud. We pulled in to the gas station in my old town. She started pumping the gas to fill up the tank. It wrang up 700.00 dollars worth I was upset because I had to pay 200.00 dollars of it. We walked in the gas station an looked around abit then left. It cut to a scene in a mall. It was a very large mall that had all these tubes running thru it. The same kind you see at the bank. There where these containers shooting thru them. I don't have a clue what they where transporting though. As we walke thru the mall we decided to go to the tower that was connected to the mall. We went to the very top and there was a roof top almot construction area. It had huge sheets of plaastic hanging everywhere. There was a blonde heavier set woman on top with us that was evidently the one bringing the worlds destruction on. The sky was grey and purple and the entire scene was just dark and gloomy. We then got into a confrontation with this lady and before the fight began I woke up. * *

    8. Flying

      by , 01-14-2011 at 10:13 PM (Book of Dreams)
      This is just a general thing, though I had a dream where I flew last night.
      Whenever I fly in my dreams, I always have to flap my arms as though they were wings, and it's as though I'm double-jumping like in a video game before I can actually take flight. Does this happen to anyone else?

    9. Parents/The Dance

      by , 01-14-2011 at 09:58 PM (Raspberry's Second Life)
      Parents

      Awake Non-lucid

      I'm in my dad's bedroom, sitting on the floor, with my knees pulled up to my chest. I'm staring at my dads wardrobe, which is white. My mum comes in and says hi. What is she doing here? My parents broke up last year. Maybe they're back together? No, that would never happen, they hate eachother too much.

      She says that she and my dad never broke up. What..? I'm just confusing myself. Maybe they didn't. Maybe I'm going crazy. Maybe I just don't know anymore. I huddle down as she leaves and stare at the wardrobe again.


      The Dance

      I'm in a hall, standing, watching what is going on around me. There are dancers, performers, magicians, circus people everywhere. They all have brightly coloured, victorian clothing on. I smile, everyone is so happy. They all play a part in the show going on around me.

      I turn to my left and notice what looks like a Queen sitting on a throne, observing with a stern gaze. "Stop!!" She screeches, and everyone freezes. "YOU!!" She shouts, pointing a finger at a young man who is dancing. He has dark tussled hair, and wears red (Asher, it just didn't click). "You are not dancing the proper dance! Find another partner! Dance it how I told you to! THIS IS MY SHOW!"

      One side of his mouth curves up into a cheeky smile. He bows mockingly and says that he must then practice more. The Queen tells the other performers to practice, then she gets up and stalks over to me. "You will NOT be his partner." She hisses to me. I frown, but say nothing as she leaves. She reminds me of the Queen of Hearts in Alice In Wonderland.

      I notice a girl my age standing in the shadows beside the golden throne. She glares at me, a calculating look in her eyes. She has mousy brown hair that is tied back, and is about half a head smaller.

      Someone grabs my hand. The young man! He keeps my hand and puts his other on my waist. I put my other hand on his shoulder and the music starts. We take a few steps, and he's about to speak, but the girl struts over. "The Queen said that you must not dance together!" She said haughtily. I scoff, and Asher smiles, and nods to behind him.

      "Look," He says, nodding to his right. "There's my body."


      We both look to find what is a complete copy of his body, but without the head. Before either of us can react, Asher flicks a wrist to the girl, and she chokes immedietly. "Run along and tell the Queen that I will dance whatever and whoever I like."

      The girl runs off, a hand clutched to her throat. I laugh, and Asher's mouth pulls up into a grin.

    10. my first lucid dream- MILD

      by , 01-14-2011 at 09:46 PM
      I don't get lucid to near the end, and my dream control was horrible
      our marching band was going on a field trip. somebody left a whole bunch of groceries in my spanish class, the egg yolks were floating, and the teacher got really really mad. my cat's leg has a piece of metal stuck through it, and this old medicine woman heals it for me. someone in my shop class throws a saw blade at her head, and she is seriously wounded, but my friend and i save her life. as thanks, she has sex with my friend, and i have sex with her beautiful daughter. both pairs have children, mine is a wolfman.

      i become lucid, i try to to control my son, the wolf's body, but then i realize it would be easier to control my own body, so i go back to my own body, and i wind up in my own bed, possibly awake. i take a chance and get out of bed, everything is very dark, except for what i'm looking at, i try to turn on the lights but they have very little affect. i try to fly, but i just end up falling down, and then walking becomes very difficult, and i sort of panic, and stumble around all the upstairs of my house. my cell phone is on my desk, but the battery is not in the phone and i have a bunch of text messages from the police accusing me of crimes but it's really just a scam, and why am i even looking at my phone i'm dreaming!? then i try to lay down in bed so i can re-stabilize things but i just end up tackling my trashcan and then i wake up

      after that i might have had a dream about writing this all down on paper, because i went to read it when i woke up but i still had to write it, idk about that part

      i think right after i hopped out of bed i got to excited and panicky because of the dark, and then the dream world just started to destabilize

    11. Batman: Arkham Asylum?

      by , 01-14-2011 at 09:35 PM
      Non-Lucid
      Lucid

      Well, I started off. I had fallen asleep, now on medication for slight sleeping problems, woke up once, closed my eyes and told myself I was in a dream. And kept telling myself that, before I knew it my body started to tingle, I tried to move my arm, realising I was actually dreaming. It was hard for me to get up, covers were over my eyes, I pulled it down, and realised I was in my bedroom. I walked downstairs to be greeted by another set of stairs, not in my house, but a very interesting set of stairs. In REMake there is a set of stairs, when you walk down them I believe you hear chains and screams. Those were the stairs. There was a door out, I walked through the door to be greeted by a very strange world, it was day time, buildings surrounded me and there was one straight road, the road Batman drives down at the beginning of Batman: Arkham Asylum, but however, at the left there was just a small part of road and buildings there, but walking over to that area I looked down and in order to get down, I would have had to jump, it was just flat deserty land.

      I thought about a red car, and turned around, and found one. I ran up to the car, opened the car door, and started to drive down the road. I continued to drive and a thought came to mind... I want the Batmobile. I got out of the car. Touched the car, closed my eyes, and thought about the Batmobile. Opened my eyes, and it was there!

      Got inside and started to drive, and I just kept driving, buildings were still surrounding me, this same road. At this point I got a bit lost, and forgot I was actually in a dream.
      I was going and going and going. Until I came to a stop, the place I came to was, I believe Arkham Asylum. From here on I do not remember. But however, I do remember at some point becoming Lucid again, and being inside some sort of cage. Sadly, that is all that I can remember.

      I felt like I was in total control, and the dream seemed so vivid. At no point did I feel like I was going to wake up, I also felt that I could have stayed in the dream forever, I remember at some point wanting to wake myself up, and I did so. I'm very happy with this, and hope I can do it again.

    12. Almond Croissant / house party / Ellie

      by , 01-14-2011 at 09:32 PM (Tomas's DJ - "Exploration of the inner Self")
      Very life like dream....

      It seems that the theme of tonight dreams were, "almond croissant".
      There is a man wanting to buy a croissant, and I am trying to convince him to buy an almond croissant.

      I'm driving my mum's green Polo with my friend George. We are driving at night, through some outside village curvy roads. I am not sure where we go or where from, but suddenly there is a car behind us trying to race with us. For some reason, I have a feeling it has something to do with the almond croissant. So I go faster and faster, but he's still behind me. I am thinking to myself, that he must be a really good driver, as I am going really fast. He is still behind me. Then we get to a crossroad, of a T shape. I am going to go right, but want to take a short cut and pretend to go left, then suddenly turn right. However, he takes me over. I go right after him. We get to another T cross road, but I go too fast, and I fly of the road, straight through a wooden fence opposite into a garden belonging to a small house. For a moment, it seems like my uncle mum's house in "Jilove". The first thing that comes to my mind is that its ok, as the ground seems and feels soft so the car didn't get damaged. Suddenly, a young guy comes. I know it is the man from the car I was racing with. I am telling him, that he should have had the fence gate open :-D but he seems that he wants to pick a fight or so. He tells me that he won't help me in any way. I think to myself that the car is ok, so we just drive off.

      Then I say something about white buckets from work and almond croissants again. It really makes no sense :-D

      I am in a big house. There is a house party taking place and there is just Eli the customer from work and I. I am walking through the house. It is a strange house with complex structure of rooms. All the rooms are on different levels, but it is very interesting. It reminds me a little bit of George's uncle house. I'm walking through the ground floor outside to the grad. It seems like a beautiful day. I walk through the garden, and where I see a big tree. Ellie is sitting on the tree. She is wearing blue jeans and has bare feet. The weather is getting worse. I'm telling Ellie to come down. She's telling me that it's okay it's not raining so much. I tell her that if she comes down, I give her ALMOND CROISSANT! She seems to be more open to talk now. I notice that she is wearing a blue t-shirt. I can see her gigantic boobs. She has black and white crossed jacket. I go back to the house, browse through all the rooms, but I get bored soon.

      My family and I are at my auntie's house. We are sitting outside. There is a small dog sitting there too. It looks like Tobi, the dog we used to have, but just similar. I feel that the dog is waiting for some specific song to be played. I feel that I know what song he wants, and I feel the need to play it.
    13. Snakes and Videogames

      by , 01-14-2011 at 08:50 PM (Krista's Dream Journal)
      Dream - Lucid

      I didn't sleep much last night, so I can only recall a little bit. I didn't even really attempt to MILD or anything, because I was more concerned about getting some rest since I had to get up very early. I know I had 2-3 dreams though.

      I was playing some massive multiplayer game online, and you could change the theme by hitting a certain object. There were Ancient Egyptian themes, futuristic themes, Victorian themes, etc..the theme changes remind me of the game Little Big Planet. The game kept switching from me playing it to me actually being in it. I had to sleep with my friend Jase in the game, though I don't remember doing it. I just remember as soon as I entered the game, I was in bed with him. My brother was also in the game. Awkward, considering my last statement.

      ~

      I was playing with snakes, a Cobra and another type, I'm not sure which type though. I was having fun. My parents were with me. We were in the woods. The snakes bit me multiple times, I especially remember the Cobra biting me. Bites were on my hands and arms, and other areas of my body. They were all red and inflamed, and I could see the puncture wounds from the fangs, though they weren't bleeding. I panicked about the bites, thinking I was going to die from being poisoned, but my parents just laughed and said I'd be fine and the snakes weren't dangerous. My left hand started to swell up, so I got extra worried. Parents still thought I was being ridiculous.

      Hoping to get a little more sleep tonight...I'm exhausted already from classes, and it's only the 2nd day. O_O

      I don't really remember the first part of the dream but I remember it revolved around doing laundry and avoiding writing an essay. I took a load of laundry out of the dryer and carried it back to my room (which was now a separate part of my house that has not existed before). I dumped all of the clothes on my bed and in hearing my parents come to check as to why I am awake, I notice that it is around four in the morning. To avoid them realizing I was awake doing laundry I hide myself under the clothes and close my eyes. It is at this point I open them to find that I am in a field hiding in a tent. Around me are what I perceive to be native Americans dressed in stereo-typical clothing. I look down at myself and realize I am dressed similarly. I look forward and realize that a group on horseback is approacher us dressed in typical colonist clothing. I brace myself for the collision. When it occurs my (family?) is thrown back leaving me out in the open as our tent collapses. I look behind me and begin to sprint away from my pursuers who have now realized that I escaped and are turning around to chase me. As I run away the openness of the field narrows into a concrete hallway that seems to belong to my school and the colonists change into two stereo-typical bullies. I am baffled at this for a split second but even without a reality check I suddenly come to the conclusion that I am dreaming. I am elated at the idea and don't seem to need a reality check to confirm my suspicions. I reach in my pocket searching for button that I conciously tell myself will teleport me away from the bullies. My fingers grasp exactly that and I pull it out of my pocket. The concrete hallway merges into an intersection of hallways with a series of stairs to the right. I hold the button in my hands and prepare myself to jump and dissapear in mid air. The bullies are close behind and I leap into the air. For some reason I fail to press the button and instead fall hard on my knees increasing my lucidity to the point where I can feel my legs as the fibrations from the fall reverberate through my body. I look behind me and see that in mid-fall I dropped the button and the bullies were closing in. In my increased addreneline I didn't have much time to process the idea that the bullies did not exist and instead I ran to the end of the hall only to be met with a locked door. I took a step back feeling as though I was doomed, but then an interesting thought came to me. I looked at the doors and without thinking sprinted forward. I passed through the doors as if they were water and I got a 3rd person view of the bullies standing there baffled unable to follow me through the locked doors. I walked outside in the cool air and cuckled to myself at my sucess in manipulating the dream. I then tried to think of an activity to do and decided I should try flying. In short - it didn't work. I tried to jump, mentally increasing my attained height with each bounce. But in the end I only was able to achieve a large jump - which was cool in itself. As my mind focused on other topics I saw my friends hanging out on top of a ten foot chain-link fence behind some bushes. I floated up to them (not sure why I didnt try flying after floating) and asked them why they weren't moving around since this was a dream. They pointed at the sky and told me that there was a ufo citing going on and they would rather do that. I then floated down to the ground and looked at the sky, (it was dark btw). The stars were moving in a fascinating sort of light show which I found I could control with an outstretched finger. After a minute of this I realized I was wasting my time and decided I should teleport to Paris, (my favorite city). I spun around in a circle, closed my eyes and thought "Paris, France" to myself intently. When I opened my eyes I found myself in a street I didn't recognize, but all the aspects of my surroundings were extremely Parisian, so I assumes my teleport had succeeded. I then walked down the street and saw the Parisians who flooded the streets. After walking a bit I turned the corner into a shop where I saw my friends arguing about something while spectators watched. Before I walked out of the shop I stopped and found that I was extremely horny and wanted to have lucid-sex. I looked around the room for a suitable candidate and to my disappointment most of the women were pretty homely. I then noticed my old (woman) pastor (I had always found here really attractive) and asked her if she wanted to have sex in my appartment across the street. As I tried to take her across the street my consciousness began to fail and I lost my ability to see. I still mad my way into the elevator when I tried unsuccessfully to press the button for the 7th floor. After a period of failure, I woke up

      I should have taken the stairs... : (
