All DJ Entries

1. I'm in the car with V, and she tells me "I know you really really really, love me, and I like you a whole lot". I looked at her puzzled, paused, and just went with it. We were her car and another couple was supposed to meet up with us at some restaurant.


2. I'm walking around this house, and I'm supposed to kill someone. All I have is a small blade. When I enter another room, I hear someone coming into the house, and I crouch low near the door. Some DC enters, and looks down directly at me, and it appears to be my cousin C. He says, "I'm sorry man, but I have to do this". He tries stabbing me, and I parry it, and make a slash across the length of his throat. It doesn't kill him, but theres a red line on his throat. He asks what I'm doing after that, and I say not much, and wake up.

I was with Ominae Yu at this archelogical dig site. We were moving to the back of the room, where a man was trying to access a power core of some kind. We passed a room full of mirrors, a room full of chests, and another room I don't remember too well. Upon reaching the back, however, the man we'd been trying to stop turned around and flashed us a wicked grin.

"You can change it all, Ominae," He said, moving his hand, "Everything. Cosmos. Your mother and father. It can all go to the way it was supposed to be. This place has the power to change time. Events. History itself."

A mirror began to flash with Ominae's memories, to the most significant parts in his life. He stared at it, and eventually his eyes got all blank and he reached forward. I wasn't sure if he was possessed or hypnotized or whatever, but I rushed forward and latched onto him.

"Don't! Ominae, if you change the past, there's no telling what could happen! It could make things worse."

The man got angry at me, strode forward, and knocked me away from him. Ominae reached forward again to touch the mirror, but this time I screamed.

"OMINAE!"

That seemed to snap him out of it somewhat, because he paused, and the mirror started to crack. The man growled and rounded on me angrily, but not before I scrambled up to my feet and tried to run. He didn't chase me, but instead looked to Ominae - and Ominae did.

I raced back through the rooms, trying to stay a foot ahead of my Spriggan bodyguard. Eventually I made it to the room with the chests, and I hid as Ominae went about tearing through them. Something in my pocket vibrated, and I reached down to find Ominae's communicator. It was Jean.

"Jean, Ominae's gone all crazy and I can't stop him."

Jean might have said something, but I don't know what. In the next second Ominae was there, flipping over my cover and grabbing me around the waist. I dropped the communicator and struggled against him. He started to pull me back to the room where the man was waiting, and I just knew that the reunion was not going to be a pleasant one.

Length: 60 min

Dream Non-dream

Lots of shit happened. It started off with me and 2 other people in an abandoned house of some sort. We walked around and found 4 other people. The mood was dark and dreadful around us, but our moods were happy and curious. Of the people we found one that had rollerblades and one that had a skateboard.

We left the house, it was the middle of a city, right by a four way four lane intersection. There was a big building next to us (the white house?). The roads were full of cars. We crossed the road, and there didn't seem to be any cars moving anymore. We saw T and Tr riding over to us with the skates and a skateboard. I tell Trevor I want to try to skate (inline). And skate I did. I teleported to the other side of the road, the cars weren't there. I was going maybe 15 mph, and I had to turn to the other side, I took a giant U-ey, and went from right, to top, to the left side of the street where everyone else was.

This is where we gather to talk about the machines. There were 7 of them, enough for all of us. They were like matrix machines, they brought us into a different world. These machines were made for us, in that house, even though we'd never been there before. Our business today was a bet. The world was in extreme danger from a giant machina, who would save it? Everyone put in $150 for themselves, whoever saved the world, got it all. I knew it was going to be me. I put in $110, and told them I'd pay back the $40... not like I'd need to pay myself an extra $40. For some reason Trevor, who was collecting all the money, asked if $20 of it was for him, since $90 was in 2 checks, and there was a $20 bill.

We went to the machines in the house. I laid back and closed my eyes.

I was in the other world. The same world we were just at I realized, or maybe a parallel to the street. There was indeed a giant machina, and we were all in mechs. "I gotta win that money" I thought. Then I thought I had to save the people even more. I attacked the giant machina, hitting his foot with an energy sword.

I woke up. There were so many other things in there, and I only have the faintest memory of it all. I went back to sleep afterward, but don't remember a portion.

I rarely have dreams with so many main characters, generally it's me and 2 other people, and I might have made it sound like that, but when I was exploring the house, and when we left the house, I was conversing with the 7 people the whole time. They did important things too, like set up the machines.

Day 1 of my DJ. I'm not great at recalling my dreams but last night I tried to WILD with a bit of MILD, didn't work but had better dream recall.

All I remember is being at a circus watching women sitting on those giant swings things swinging. Then I looked down and there were these like medical people everywhere. There was also something to the left of me but I can't remember what.

I know I had 2 other dreams, just can't remember them. Hopefully I'll remember more tonight.

I remember having several dreams about being in school, and my principal. I failed to recall them, though.

I was sitting in my seat in my 4th period class. A few things were different: For one, I think our teacher was different. And two, the left corner of the room looked like a "kitchen". (It was a little room with walls but no door)

Anyways, I was sitting in my desk when S (a friend) raised her hand and asked, "Mrs. so and so, can I go to the bathroom?" After this, she ran from her seat. But she stopped abruptly, coughed, and threw up in the "kitchen". (It was everywhere)

Of course my head was turned so I did not see it. I heard it though. Then I raised my hand halfway and said, "Yea, I need to go too." But, instead of walking I was crawling (lol) away. I guess I really wanted to get away from there.

Well I made it out into the hall and I'm not sure if I got up or kept going from there, but I saw my principal. He was walking down the hall towards our room. I followed him in there, holding my nose. Then he started to mop up the sick. Gross!

Cant remember much...Im going camping with my boyfriend and a nameless girl. But its like a kids camp where you are partnered up with people. We had to be partnered up with guys, the camping boyfriend. Same for the guys, So My boyfriend runs into twins and goes away, Im the last to get my partner who ends up being a short dorky redheaded kid.

Blank_

Next thing I know Im in a small room, im guessing my "camping room". and i look out the window and watch all the people walking to a camp fire. I see my boyfriend enjoying a convo with the girls he was pared up with. I decide I need to shower because I am the last one who still hasnt. I undress and hop in, turn the water on and notice that their are windows all around the shower. No one is around but i am trying to find the curtain string to pull. I get one but cant find the other. Then a strange old lady knocks on the window and points to the other string.

As the title says: Nothing. I went to late to bed, so I didn't get ma 7-8 hours Result: No Recall...

Note: The rest of the night was filled with fragmented non-lucid dreams which I will post here, partially to get me back in the habit of posting in my journal regularly. After missing so long it would be easy to get lazy…

I was with Tigress at a couple of desktop computers, I was working on one of the computers and Tigress was working on the other. I was designing a video game, it was a 3D space game that looked like it had similarities to both Star Wars and Star Trek. The graphics looked awesome. The part I was testing involved the ship coming around a planet into range of a target, the targeting system on the screen looked really cool and high tech, and I was doing this over and over again as I tried to time a certain feature just right. Tigress was saying that feature wasn't really that important when I finally got it right…

I was inside an arcade in a casino, the casino was so huge that there was a small city actually inside it. I was playing the game I had been developing in the previous dream, but I was running out of quarters, so I needed more. I kept a few quarters out and figured that with my programming knowledge it would be no problem for me to hack into one of the electronic slot machines and make it give me a big payout without anyone noticing…

My mom and I were putting a new screen on my window. The old screen had been damaged quite a while ago, this is also true IWL. So I went and got the screen and brought it back. After fighting with it for a while, my mom and I finally got it placed back in the frame… only to see it was the wrong one. We had just put the busted screen back in the window, which did absolutely no good. My mom was annoyed that I had brought the wrong screen, I kept asking her why she had even bothered to keep the old screen…

I have apparently been playing too much Farmville, as now I was sorting a bunch of miniature animals in my own house. I was putting a bunch of cows and calves in my mom's room, a bunch of goats in the living room, foals and horses in the kitchen, and all the felines in my own room. There were just a couple of problems. My mom was complaining about the manure all over the place, the wild cat cubs in my bedroom were chasing the kitty cats, and I was trying to figure out where to put the fish… even though there are no fish in Farmville…

I was in my car driving down a street near my house, it is a long two lane street through a desert area with a few gentle hills and no houses around. It was mostly the same in the dream as IWL, but there were more trees in the dream version. I was driving very fast, and I had classical music blasting out of the speakers, I don't know what composer since I am not too knowledgeable about classical composers. But I liked it. MoSh was sitting in the passenger seat, he was clutching the sides of his seat and seemed to think I was insane for driving so fast. I had the idea I was taking MoSh back to my house, and that it was urgent for me to get him there quickly…

I was in my living room with Tigress, I was on the couch with my laptop and Tigress was behind the couch looking over my shoulder as I worked on the computer. She was telling me about an idea she had for the game I was currently working on, it was a platformer, and it looked pretty cool. It was a futuristic looking setting in the game and Tigress was describing how she thought the next level should go…

I was in my bedroom, but it was quite a bit bigger than it is IWL. There were quite a few musical instruments in there as well, all hooked up to some pretty cool looking speakers. MoSh was there with me, he was playing a guitar. I wanted to learn to play the guitar, I really wanted to try playing it for a bit and see if I could get any decent sound out of it. I told MoSh I wanted to try it, he said sure, but he wanted to try something on it first. He played it for a bit longer, playing something I didn't recognize but I definitely liked. I wasn't sure if I wanted to play after that, but it didn't matter, since that's where the memories end.

Note: I know I have been away from posting dreams for a long time, and that is because I haven't been remembering any dreams. I have been having an extended drought in the area of dream recall and lucid dreams, but for last night I actually have something to post! What I remember is a lot of fragments, but part of it was even lucid, so I will post it all here. I finally remembered dreams again! Yay! My first point was to meet Tigress in the tower on the moon, so when I surprised myself by entering into a WILD, that was my first goal.

I was lying in my bed with my light / sound machine on, focusing on letting my body fall asleep while my mind remained conscious. Almost without even realizing what had happened, I slipped into a WILD. I was still thinking about my first goal, thinking I was still awake and had to use the bathroom. I got up and realized my door was closed, which is not normal, I leave it open so my cat, Midna, can sleep with me. I opened the door and found myself looking out of my bedroom into the sickbay of the tower on the moon. I did only a brief double take before realizing I was definitely dreaming, I was already in the WILD.

So now that I was in the WILD, I entered the sick bay and looked around. Janet and Tigress were in the room, Tigress was lying face down on one of the beds, and Janet was scanning her with a strange device. I remembered telling Tigress I was going to try a healing massage on her back, and Janet was also going to take a look. I went over to the bed and was going to wait for Janet to be done examining Tigress…

Some other stuff happened there which I think involved me completing the healing massage, but the next fragment I remember clearly included Tigress, Link, Janet, and me on the beach, I was looking out over the ocean with the adult form of Link by my side, it was an entirely beautiful scene. Tigress said the merpeople were in this ocean, and then she headed out into the waves. I followed her and Janet, then finally dove into the water and transformed into a mermaid at the same time. The four of us swam down into the ocean, at first the water felt kind of cold, but I soon adapted to it and found it felt very nice. We swam down, I watched the colorful fish around us, and we were soon greeted by a merman who indicated we should follow him. We went deeper into the ocean, it was getting darker as we went deeper, but then we came to an area which was illuminated by glowing plants and mosses. It was a really cool effect. The merman we were with said we had been expected, I wondered who had told them to expect us, but I figured it didn't really matter, it was probably Q. We were swimming towards what looked like an underwater stadium where this fragment of memory ends…

There must be some more stuff I forgot, because the next piece I remember I was in the stadium, swimming out in the middle of it with a bunch of merpeople. I felt I knew what was going on, everyone had on a different color belt indicating which of the two teams they were on, there was blue and yellow. I looked and noted I had a blue belt on. The other merpeople with blue belts were chasing after the merpeople with yellow belts, and they were all chasing after a ball of some kind that was drifting through the water. One of the yellow team hit the ball with his tail, sending it towards a goal, but a goalie for the blue team sent it right back out again to one of my teammates. With a blue team merman on each side of her, the blue team mermaid batted the ball with her tail and guided it towards the other goal. One of the yellow team managed to swim in and got his tail on the ball, sending out off to the side… in my direction. No one had been paying much attention to me, I had the idea I was just in this game because they were trying to be nice and let me play a bit, so I would just have to show them that I could contribute to the team, too. I went after the ball and hit it with my tail, hitting it away from a couple of approaching yellow team players, then I followed it and hit it back in almost the opposite direction as hard as I could, catching the yellow goalie by surprise and scoring a goal. I could hear the merpeople in the stands cheering, I thought they would mostly be surprised, and I was glad I had been able to at least score a goal… and that's the last clear memory I have from that part…

The next clear memory I have is when I was swimming along in an interesting place with Tigress, Janet, and Link. I didn't notice for sure if Tigress and Janet were merpeople, but I still was, as was Link. We were swimming through water that felt strangely warm, and very relaxing. There were colorful luminous flowers all over the ocean floor that gave off a rainbow of colored light that was very beautiful. We passed the rainbow flowers and entered into what looked like ruins of some ancient temple. The ruins continued, and I realized it was much more than a temple, it looked like the ruins of a lost city. I saw Janet and Tigress swimming very close together, and I felt Link was right beside me. I remember swimming through a particularly interesting series of pillars that looked like ruins from ancient Greece or Rome, I was wishing I could take photos from the dream plane into my waking life, I would really like to remember that. Since I couldn't pull out a camera, I continued looking around, trying to take in every detail of the place, I was thinking maybe I could create a digital picture of it in Photoshop or even a 3D rendering of it. This is the last part of the dream I remember, though I think it continued for a bit longer.

Okay here we go. After months of not lucid dreaming, I have gotten tired of not having dreams.. I am going to have lucid dreams again and i will have to start up this journal again.

Tomorrow there should be a sort of dream recall anyway..

The dream begins with me on the side of SR-312. My mom comes to pick me up, and asks me if I have a ride to the convention I want to go to. I tell her I'll get a ride from Jason (My brother). She tells me that he's gone. I knw what she means by it, but it's very hard for me to accept at first. Then she tells me he committed suicide and I try fighting the sadness from hearing this. I almost break down, but she looks so stoic and I don't want to lose control in front of her when it must be even harder for her. My friend Joey is in Gainsville with Nick. I am a bit annoyed at this, because Nick pisses me off. She drives me to Steak & Shake where I am going to apply. They're doing open interviews and there is a dog nearby who's shadow is acting strange. Next, I am in a house watching a clip of a movie with Edward James Almos in it, getting stabbed and falling over a railing. This reminds me of Battlestar Galactica and then I see Admiral Adama boxing Starbuck and letting her win, so he can resign. He feels he failed his crew, and I think of my brother and wish I had seen a sign. I start crying and then wake up, still crying a while until realizing that it was a dream. I was so certain it actually happened, and upon figuring out that I had just woken from a dream, a large rush of relief acme over me.

Upon falling back to sleep, I am in a dream where I am with a girl I want to be with (In the dream, I've never met her in waking life) and another friend, Jack. We stop at this little souvenir shop where I see a row of kids embroidering some of the dreamcatcher like hanging charms. The girl and I are walking together, debating which ones we'd like in our house (I guess we had a thing, but weren't actually together). She said she wants one of the hanging charms, and I tell her I think their terrible looking, except for the ones that didn't look like child pictures. There were some that looked like Native American designs that I quite fancied, which she then told me were the ones that she meant. We picked one out and she took it to the counter. Then I'm messing around with Jack, and as a practical joke, he rubs a small amount of dog shit on me. I tell him that's fucked up and he laughs. I go to teh bathroom to clean it off and then I wake.

Synopsis: In the first dream I get a huge headache over money! Later, I'm at a movie theatre and become lucid. I try to fill my dream world with flowers, but a DC has other plans

I Can't Buy It!
My sister has conned me into buying school supplies for a friend. I don't mind at first when I think I'm just going to help her buy one item. But then my sister starts adding more items to the list, PROMISING my friend that I'll deliver! I get pissed and tell sis "I never made these promises, and I don't have the money to buy even half the stuff!". But sis doesn't listen, and adds perks to the list, including that I buy her lunch, and a cd for dad.

My head is reeling with math! The debit card and the merchandise don't add up! I woke up frustrated and upset that I felt too poor to buy anything.

Let the Flowers Grow
Me and my sisters are watching a movie. As if I'm still annoyed from the last dream, I sit farther away from the sister trying to empty my bank account. We got bored of the movie and leave before its even over.

Some how, just standing up and walking out of the theatre room made me lucid. I follow my sisters to the concession stand with a big smile on my face. I'm just having way too much fun admiring the carpet and the walls. I ask them

"What do you wanna do next?"

"Eh, nothing, lets go home"

Booo.....that sounds boring . I ditch my sisters by flying straight out of the wall! My dream had changed into a magical landscape, with curvy rolling hills and a castle. I proclaimed myself the queen of this world.

I looked at a pretty landscape in front of me, but it wasn't colorful enough. I know! I'll add flowers! I command the dream to add flowers. But nothing happens. I guess I have to do this the harder way.

I go up to a weird pipe like structure near me. It has little holes punched in. Perfect! I imagine little seedlings rising out from the holes, blossoming into beautiful flowers. It takes some concentration, but deep vermillion leefy plants rise up. They weren't flowers, but they were beautiful.

The moment I stopped giving them my attention, they would wither.

Oh well. I continued to try to make my landscape blossom. Most of the DCs were nice to me. Some of them even started attending to my flowers to keep them alive. Now my flowers are bright blues, rich purples, growing in odd places, even from vertical walls.

But one DC was a real jerk! He would follow me where ever I went and chop my flowers into little pieces

I try to fly away from him, so he can't find my newest flowers. But he was found me and my new seedlings. Finally I got fed up, I grabbed his axe and try to slice him to bits, like he did to my flowers! The axe cuts through him in three directions!

DC passerbys looked shocked and horrified!

But the axe goes right through him, as if he's air. He looks at me sad, as if he's insulted, actually insulted that I would try to hurt him! I try yelling at him instead "Stop following me around! Leave my flowers alone!"

"Okay, I'll stop following you" but then he seems to explain that that's what he does, that that's what he is. He is that which will chop down my blooms.

He stopped following me around, but remained and indestructible presence in my dream world. I lost interest in growing my flowers, I didn't want to see anymore chopped up.

As my dream starts to fade away, I notice mole-people working hard round and about the castle. I felt bad for them, so I call out to them at the last few stable moments of the dream that they could stop working! They hear my voice, but can't see me, and the dream becomes black.

I wake up. I turn over, and that's when I notice shadows. There were shadows on the ground, silhouettes. The shadows made it look like there were people on my bed. I get really creeped out and quickly end the FA.

BTW, not sure if this relates or not. But today (10-7-10) I visited my garden in horticulture class. I just recently planted new seedlings. Every single one of them died, I have no idea why. Its really weird. They were planted in three different spots. Three different species. All dead

★★★★

Hard to separate these dreams

Yeah... Started somewhere in a house, may have been mine. I was in a room getting out of bed, and then a white yappy dog came and bit my arm. I was almost lucid and just decided the dog was a messenger so I thought I should not fight the dog. The Dog read my intent and It started dragging me by the arm. I complied and followed the dog as it grew larger. I followed it up some steps and then into a room.

I felt the room belonged to meggy faye, and then the dog was a woman (asuka). She was indicating something in the closet. I went into meggy's closet and on the board above the hangers I found a heart shaped cheesecake. I wasn't sure whether I should take it. Asuka said I should grab it quick before Meggy comes back. so I grabbed it and ran back downstairs and into my room with Asuka. She had a matching cheescake and we both ate ours very happily.

Around town WTF

I was at some AA gathering in Chilliwack. I had to leave the club to find someone. so I walked down the street and found a flat where this Old Timer lived. He had glasses and seemed nice. He was donating a couch or something to the Club so I grabbed it from him and took it to the AA club place. Everyone thanked me for bringing it there. I remember Thelma being there. Then we all played music or something and I left.

wound up in some car. I was being driven to the house with the young woman. (didn't realize it was asuka at the time. We got on top of a hill with some houses and noticed a bunc of mini Pine trees floating above the car. Became lucid, got out of the car. I suddenly remembered being lucid before this time, but can't recall what happened it. Pondering this I was walking into the house and it was full of DCs, they were dancing adnt ried to get me to dance with them. But I wanted to find my Inner world to see Asuka (not realizing I was already there). so I left the house intending to wind up in my inenr world. then everything started going black. I looked at my hand and looked at it. The dream just fell apart.

FA, I was getting Sleep paralysis. I was focusing on just getting into another dream lucid. I didn't realize I was already in a dream and could have just got up and walked around.


False awakening

Fa, I'm in the same room with the young woman, (Asuka). She's watching a TV show that features my guitar playing in the ending credits. She seems happy my music made it somewhere. I want to be a lone with her, but a bunch of DC's in blue jerseys come in the room and teleport me outside, and start talking to me. I get mad at them for teleporting me away. They apologize and leave. Can't remember what happened after.

Dogs can talk

At least in dreams they do. I was walking in someones backyard and ran into two dogs. One was romano. He said something about me wanting me to clean the fleas out of his doghouse or something. I said "ok" and followed him. The other dog kept trying to play with me and was getting in my way to help Romano. I pet him anyway and say, "Hey let me do my chore first then we play". But I woke up before i could help the other dog.

Flying

Had a dream where I was trying to fly. I jumped up but couldn't float for long, So I turned the dream upside down and wound up falling into the sky.... I couldn't fly, but I could do that at least. Nomad is right when saying the more outlandish things are easier to do in dreams instead of simple things. I think doing simple mediocre things in dreams is actually a good discipline.

Brown entities.

I found Bonnie W. the best psychic in the universe, in the park. She said she was gonna help me with a problem. She kept saying there were brown entities around me or something. I asked her to clarify what she meant by brown Entities. "keep them away from me". she said and then she changed into a pre - historic bird and flew away.

gary

something about hanging out with my friend gary from chilliwack.

October 3, 2010

Synopsis: Too many hamsters. Later, I climb a mountain and fly. Brief lucidity.

Note: I was talking to my friend a couple of days ago about how she moved out, so she can give me advice. She basically told me she just packed her bags and left, with no security of a job!

Climb the Mountain
Like magic we have two more hamsters. This is bad! Our first two hamsters are already miserable no matter how much play time we give them (they just want freedom, lots of it!). Two more hamsters? The cage is cramped now. What are we gonna do?

Me and my sister explore some retail store. Maybe its a pet store? We exit the back door and see a giant mountain up ahead. (In the real world it wouldn't giant, dream abstraction). Excited, I race my sister to the top. She takes her time and seems to whine about all the rocks and rubble. I reach the peek and I can see the whole valley and the pet store below.

I tell my sister "I've written a new book! It's called A Leap of Faith!" I don't even know why I said that.

I jump! Jumping off the mountain peek made me lucid. I soar over the whole city, which looks like a shining quilt from way up here. I haven't been this high up in a long time! It felt real nice. I think about growing wings to try a different flying method.

That just teleported me to a strange room. I start to have this weird conversation with a dream character about which wings are better to fly with. He insists on using smaller, humming bird like wings. I think that's no fun. I want larger hawk like wings! I woke up after that.

Fragments: Broadsword Class

I'm in my high school gym class, and we're having broadsword battles. The one battle I'm currently watching has been going on for over 40 minutes when it finally comes to an end. I'm up next, but there is only 20 minutes of class left, not enough time for an epic sword fight. The teacher asks us to complete our match on our own time after school. I think that would get me arrested.


Fragments: Sloan Concert
I'm at a Sloan concert, but I can only see one member of the band onstage, and 2 fat chicks running the show. I go closer to the stage and see the other members backstage, playing instruments behind the curtains. I walk back to my seat and see Steele sitting there. We leave the concert and I try to tell him I saw Dave there, but can't remember his name.

Gems of Power
Clarity: 7/10
Importance:5/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm working in a warehouse with some other guys, all of us new to the job. We're cleaning out the leftover crap from the company that just left this building. There are other guys there walking out with dollies full of files. We go out back and find the parking garage full of more files. The boss tells us to move them out front, but I want to leave them for the other crew. He makes us do it anyways.

Out front, I find the files we've brought there have all tipped over and spilled all over the place. I have an "I told you so" moment, but the boss makes us clean it up. As we clean, two guys in black show up and begin attacking us. I defeat them, and they drop a little flat house shaped ornament full of tiny gems. I begin picking out the gems, notice some larger ones, and then a very large one help by a little figure on the roof. The largest gem has a ribbon attached to it.

Two more guys attack me with super powers, but the ribbon gem renders me invulnerable to their attack. I fight the two guys, imbued with other super powers from the other smaller gems. I have super speed that marks my movement with cool vector graphics, and all kinds of other powers from my gem collection. My opponents have powers as well, but I defeat them easily.

The enemy dealt with, I begin to pick up more tiny gems off the pavement. I explain to my co workers that the real reason they are here is so we can form a team with the special powers these gems grant us. Next thing I know, we're in a monastery where we will be trained by monks.

The monk lays out several of the gems on the ground along with some mundane items like paper and string, and tells us we must figure out how to activate the gems. I find this odd since I was just using them and all I needed to do was have them in my possession. But I start to fumble with the paper trying to figure out this puzzle. And that's when a bunch of guys attack us. Those tricky monks set up that attack so we would be forced to figure out to use the gems!

I have a fascination with gemstones in my dreams, not for the monetary value, but for the geometry.
