All DJ Entries

Again I cannot remember any of my dream, even after laying in bed trying to recall it for 15 minutes. I think it's the fact that I have to go to bed around 11 or 12 because of the amount of homework I have, and I have to wake up at 6:15 to get ready for school in time. I think the not remembering dreams is because I haven't been getting enough sleep. I had a light amount of homework today so I'm going to go to bed around 9 tonight and get a lot more sleep than I normally do. Hopefully this will let me remember at least one good dream. Wish me luck!

Dream Night - 9/14/10

Non-Dream Dream Lucid

Well I was falling asleep, and then I see these strange blue swirls, (might have been a sign I was getting a WILD), and then I fall asleep without becoming lucid.

I am in school, in Italian class. My teacher looks over my summer work, and we talk about my vacation to Italy this summer. In the hallway, I see a board with pictures of my classmates eating breakfast in 1st period, and I wasn't there. I didn't get my schedule, so I go to the office to ask for one. I ask the elderly secretary to get me a copy. I tell her my name, and as she types it, I have a middle name of SEMEN SEMEN SEMEN. I tell her it is wrong but she ignores me. I took the keyboard and mouse and began playing Touhou 10 - Mountain of Faith (A PC shoot-'em-up). I then ask a male secretary to get me my schedule and he can't help me either. The bell rings to signal the end of class and then I wake up.

So this was strange.

I have had several lucid dreams in the past. In some of these dreams I have been able to completely control the situation and in others I have had no control. Today I am deciding to start a dream journal.

September 15, 2010

Not so crazy, last night

Asleep by 12:30-ish.

Murder most foul!
Mostly just watching a dream involving AMC* characters and their current storyline. Someone was murdered and someone else is wrongfully accused. My character (who has no show equivalent - I was myself, sort of) was trying to find the real murderer.

Awake at 3:30am. Well before my alarm, which I had set for 5:00am. I decided since it was a natural wake up, I would do my WBTB now. I did some math questions on the Brain Age game, thought about some goals and such. Decided to MILD when back in bed, but still very tired, recovering from the night before. Passed out.

Banff adventures
[At a restaurant]
Dream starts out with me and others at a snazzy sort of restaurant. I'm eating this selection of meat samples. As in, a new plate of a sample-size of a new dish keeps getting brought to me. I found the last piece rather odd. I can't remember exactly, but someone called it "stuzzy" or the like.

As we're leaving someone asks, "Did you enjoy that last one?"

"Ehhh," I say. "Not really, why."

"Oh good, it was dog," my friend says, nonchalantly.

"WHAT?!"

[Renting a cabin]
Jack and I are in Banff on a trip and we rent a cabin. The scene flips slightly and we find out his whole family is now going, so I say, "Hey, I think we're still renting that cabin..." I think to myself, "Why would I still be renting it? How many days have we been back in the city? How much did this all cost?!!"

I'm walking alone along the outskirts of this amusement park, in Banff, now (which doesn't have one IWL, btw). I see Jack's cousins already chilling inside, and they are talking very loudly with each other. As I walk along the sides to get in to join them, I hear kids muttering, "Why do they have to talk so loud?"

Jack and I join them, and they hand us their babies, however, mine is only a doll (my guess is... one set already has a kid, and the other set is expecting, which is why I got a doll). We take them over to where a group of my WL friends are standing. Lily (who is pregnant) wants to know why we're carrying babies. She is standing with Kristine (who is also pregnant). (I know a lot of pregnant people at the moment, yes.)

Awake again. Tried to MILD mantra again. Still supremely tired and passed out again without any focus.

Food dream
I'm at a breakfast buffet. I'm loading up with many awesome things like syrup drenched waffles, bacon and eggs... I come across these odd things. They're eggs benedict, but baked inside of a croissant. Interesting. I take that too

Now it's lunch and I go into the kitchen. There's a girl in there who is cooking a soup. I ask her, "Why aren't there any fries on? People are going to want them."

"I don't care what people want!" She answers. "They aren't good for you, and I'm the cook. They'll eat what I make."

I decide I really like this girl's attitude, so I set about to help her. She's making a meatloaf, but presenting it like a parfait, complete with mashed potatoes and gravy to look like ice cream and syrup. This girl is a genius!

My mum is here too, so I pay for both our dishes. There's some confusion with the money, because I guess I had paid in advance for mine, but she accidentally charged me twice. She decided to give my money back for the first charge and start fresh, but she kept asking her manager if it was okay.

There's another bit after this I'm having troubles recalling. Mum and I walk to the convenience store in the rain for drinks. We're in there and chatting with the till person, but I can't remember more than this.

*AMC = All My Children - a terrible soap opera that I watch due to some faulty female wiring

3rd Lucid

This is my 3rd lucid dream and i'm starting to have one every week which is a big accomplishment for me because I didn't expect to have this many even if they are only 5 to 10 seconds long

KEY:
Red = Non-lucid
Blue = Lucid

Ok first I go to bed get comfy and fall asleep but before I do all of that, I set an alarm to wake me up in the middle of the night and the time was set for 4:30 AM (I think.) and I did this because one I go to sleep at 10 PM everyday because of school and 4:30 is a good time to wake up because I will already have been sleeping for 5-6 hours and two because I wanted to do a WBTB into a DILD. So after the 5-6 hours I have been sleeping, I wake up from my alarm. I get comfy again and I fall asleep.

My dream starts with ShaneDawson (yes the guy on youtube) doing a Christmas special!?!? Once that was over with I was in my house and I was dressed as though I was about to go to school. Everything in my house looked the same except for the kitchen was smaller and the oven was where the refrigerator was suppose to be. I look at the clock on the oven at it said 10:27 and I was like "Crap I got to go to school!" then it came to my mind that I don't go to school at 10:27. I looked at the timer again and even walked up to it looked at it and thats when I realized "I'm DREAMING!"

I dropped my backpack on the ground at ran towards the stairs and then I remembered that I needed to stabilize the dream so then I calmed down and closed my eyes.

(BIG MISTAKE)

I woke up (or did I?)

I remembered reading something saying that if you wake up and don't move you will go into sleep paralysis and you can go back into a lucid dream so thats exactly what I did.

I dreamed about sleep paralysis and my dream was that you put a laptop on you with a spinning keyboard that vibrates. When you do that you go through sleep paralysis and it felt really weird... My body was vibrating and all of that stuff but the thing was I could move. When that dream ended it said in the dream "YOU HAVE JUST BEEN PUMPED" then I woke up. (Again?)


When I woke up, I realized that when I closed my eyes and woke up it was just a false awakening and I could of continued on with my lucid dream :I

So it goes to show... When you have a lucid dream and you close your eyes and wake up in your room DO A REALITY CHECK.

~FIN

It was nearing the end of the day, and I was going to one of my last classes. I was exhausted from school and couldn't wait to go home. I stepped into the classroom and instantly my mood was uplifted when I saw who was sitting at my table. A wave of happiness rushed over me. The German Exchange student had returned from Germany.

"Hi!" He said. His face, his voice, everything was so vivid. It was clearer than reality, and now that I was seeing my old friend again it was better.

"I've missed you so much!" I shouted, and leaped into his arms, giving him the biggest hug ever. I no longer felt worried about school, I just felt relief from seeing him again.

"I have so much to tell you about! Shickendydickendy!" He said delightfully in his accent. I was ready to listen, I couldn't wait to hear everything he was about to tell me.

"What's a shickendydickendy?" I giggled, thinking that maybe he had butchered up an English word.

"Oh I'll tell you about that later " He replied. Oh!

"This can't be happening! I've missed you so much, it's incredible to be seeing you here again!" I said. At that moment, just to be sure, I did a reality check. 8 fingers. Fuck no. I realized that this wasn't real - he wasn't real - none of this was. I wasn't seeing him or talking to him again. It was just an illusion created by my subconscious. I burst out in tears, devastated to go through this again. Losing a friend all over again, thanks subconscious, thanks a lot. I spent the rest of the dream crying.

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

I find myself in my ASB (student body) classroom. with the old student body class and counselors. I thought I didn't run for student body, this year, but I simply dismissed it as insignificant (whoops). As usual, at the beginning of the week, we were assigned reports to carry out to our classroom. My friend Z and I exited the room and found ourselves in an unfamiliar school with white and green walls. This same school was the school I went to to help my neighbor set up her classroom. I realized my friend Z wasn't in ASB as we gave the report, but again I dismissed it as not a big deal (another whoops). We finished and left the classroom, and I found myself as K of the Penguins of Madagascar (WTF?). We were trying to break open a brick wall off a school to get inside, as the school was in lock-down(?) or something. After several attempts of trying to total the wall, R simply ran the Hummer we were in through the wall, and I found myself closing my eyes, and opening them to appear my bedroom. This was a false awakening, I thought, because something was just off, and I became lucid. A long haired man walked into my room, and he appeared hideously warped. He had no visible face, his arms were dropped, his clothes were tattered, and his legs were limp. As I said, "R. P., is that you?", (I have no idea whose name I called out, I just remember the name) and he walked faster than the speed of light, and slurped near my left ear. My last thought was 'WTF!' as I woke up.

Notes:
Vividness: 7/10 (Pretty vivid.)
Lucidity Peak: 4/10 (Wasn't lucid for long, and had no control)

I remember jumping off a cliff, starting to fall, and then stopping myself by flying. I had been trying to get away from someone but I don’t remember who or what it was.

The part that I remember most was where I was in a forest. I noticed that something was moving in the grass by the trees; I knew it was a snake. I followed it and saw that it was a big long snake. I automatically presumed that it was a garter snake even though it didn’t look like one. As I walked on I saw another snake which I think was black. This snake ended up wrapping around me but I got away and then I think I rode it on the water.

Sept 15: I was at what apparently looked like a carnivores(game) prehistoric-esque setting like this

(it looked like the land and water/ similar plants similar appearance but not in terms of layout/ elevation) I had gotten into a rut with a flesh eating dinosaur earlier in water and jumped really high over to a minature island (which is like a tiny patch of land amongst some water, about a little ways off from the coast. to my right diagonally there was n shaped cliff. which looked like the halo 3 Last Resort maps cliff except the cliff I saw was more natural as opposed to being built/rubble and the cliff i saw went into a body of water.

I then saw a Stegosaurus running underwater, although for some odd reason there was no water because i had perfect sight on the stego, but the water was there...(tough to explain).. anyways i pulled out a shotgun that looked like this

and i shot 4 quick shots at the stegosaurus in the body and the stego went down ( there was no blood in the aftermath). after doing that I saw hunters or a hunter in a jeep a ways away (towards the begining incline of the n shaped cliff but to the left of it from my stance) I then shot a shell at their(his) jeep ( in my mind I assumed this dude was an evil guy out to torture dinosaurs that looked like colonel custard or something) so immidiately I jump away because he is possibly angry. I jumped to the left and got on top of an elevated sandy/hilly path. I was apparently designated to protect an ally jeep so I had to attack the hunters jeep so I thrust myself toward it and I think I hit just under the car door on the right side (of him) and his jeep was tossed about a foot or two into the air and then his jeep dropped towards the water (which was now visible) then before the jeep dropped I saw a shocked luigi icon pop up. apparently luigi was in the jeep and I might have killed him. it's all vague from that point on. to be honest I don't have a clue if luigi was an ally or the hunters, but I dont remember 2 jeeps going by.. hmm

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

This is my first DJ entry . I am starting out with a dream that I had a very long time ago (when I was 5). I will be labeling dreams over a year old with 'The Archive'. Also, before I was 11, I had the ability to easily control my dreams, but was unaware of my power, so I couldn't do anything that wasn't possible in the moment. Possibly because of puberty. Hope you enjoy.

Upon entering the dream, I was in my bedroom. The familiar red, blue, and yellow walls, toys strewn across the floor, video games and the TV set up against each other, several wooden drawers, it all looked real. Suddenly the room began to shake. I tried to wake up my little brother but he wouldn't. I ran out my room into the large dining room, almost hurting myself tripping over everything. I saw my mom running into the bedroom, totally ignoring me for my crying brother. The shaking got more intense, as you can see the glasses and vases falling off shelves landing with a loud crash. My dad ran outside, by the chiming grandfather clock and the noisy piano, almost playing in unison. My mom followed. I felt I couldn't do anything, and that I did not even exist. I even screamed for my parents and they didn't come. I thought, 'This better be a dream.' Soon, I felt I was going to perish because of falling boards, so I shut my eyes to cry. I opened my eyes with tears.

Notes:
Vividity - 10/10 (Everything was crystal clear, as real as real life.)

Note: In my school phones aren't allowed, not even in the building.
Unlucid

Yes I do realize that this is my first DJ entry.


I was in math class, suddenly we hear a ringing. My teacher Mrs. Woodbury walks over to the backpacks to investigate. She open one of the backpacks and takes out a box that looks like it's a present. The ringing seems to be coming from the box. She opens the box and dumps the contents on the floor. There are three cell phones in it. One iPhone which for some reason looks sort of like a calculator. The other two are regular flip phones. (From here on the dream is kind of hazy)
The scene sort of changes, but I don't pay much attention. (by now everyone was crowded around the phones) Suddenly a girl comes up behind me and tells me that the phones are hers. I tell her that they rang in class and that someone would be in trouble. She frowned and said, "uh oh". Then the dream changed and I do not remember what happens.

High School Memoirs (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Setting:
- Saint Louis School of Mandaue

Time Occured:
- Around 3:00 - 3: 45pm

Dream Characters:
- Davi
- Jacob
- 3 Unknown Individuals
- Teachers
- My mother

As usual, I was preparing for a nap during the afternoon. I went to bed, and listened to a relaxing beat before dozing off.

Bam! I already knew I was dreaming based on what I was wearing, a white maritime uniform from head to foot (In fact, I'm taking up an engineering course). As I was about to buy something in a store, somebody tapped on my shoulder. I looked back and saw Jacob, Davi and somebody else I couldn't recognize the face, wearing the same as I. Instead of greeting them, I became furious since they were laughing at me. I pushed Jacob and told him to back off. A security officer of some sort came rushing and stopped us. Without getting what I bought, I left the scene. I arrived at a place which I haven't seen before. I sat down at the side, and saw my mom beside me. Behind me was a big wall, and on the other side of it is a school (I just felt it was a school). Few minutes later, somebody passed by me, and he was familiar. He was wearing a uniform which resembled what I used to wear during high school. Instantly, I knew what school behind the wall was, my Alma Mater.

Later, another student approached, this time he stopped by the gate. He pushed something like a doorbell. The gate opened and he went inside. I was curious and followed him. Indeed, it was my school. There lots of students flocking, seems like there's an event.

After a blink of an eye, I was with some people which resembled my friends, but their faces were blurred. I asked them what's going on and they said, "Diva's coming here!" (Diva is yet another female celebrity here in our country.)

Soon, people rushed and crowded in different directions, including my friends. I was left alone and was thinking of what should I do. After a while, someone was walking behind me, and it was Diva! She was wearing an elegant red gown, and pair of glass slippers. She also had a small crown (I find it weird why she had a crown when in fact, she's an actress, not a beauty queen). I was astonished and like what a fan would do, I followed her. I was the only one closest enough to get her picture. Damn, she's a beauty.

Later, the crowd had dispersed and I was left alone again. I realized that I left my mother alone outside of school. I rushed outside and found noone. While I was running, there was a shift of time, from night to day in an instant, and it was noon.

I reached a small alley, and continued to run. I saw lots of people, and they were my teachers having their lunch in a cafeteria. I searched for my mom, and finally saw her. As I was about to sit beside her, I woke up.

I took time in my dream to notice the realness of it, I studies the pattern on my shirt, the colors were much more vivid than in waking life. Still my lucidity left a lot to be desired, it is not sharp, I am half aware only and slip back and forth between lucidity and dream participation. I became lucid because I realised the house we were standing in front of could not be out house, it had a shifting quality to it, the colors would patchwork and change. It looked like a townhouse but also like the house from the movie "UP." I became exited to show my husband that we were dreaming. I said "let me show you how to fly! Do you want me to teach you?" He wasn't very interested. I grabbed his hand and left the ground, he didn't so I picked him up the way I would be able to in a pool and then we left the ground. He said "You are doing it for me" so I let go and he grounded agian. I lost interest in this and decide to do my test. I pushed my finger through the palm of my hand and then decided to try and step through a mirror. When I did I was suprised to find myself half emmersed in liquid and I pulled back out, then I realised that I could breath in water and went through completely. It was dark and I left soon after.

I am somewhere near a lake. The lake is a collateral projection of the lake near my home in the waking world. I can't remember the beginning of the dream very clearly. I wrote only two words about the dream when i woke up to help me recall the dream better later. The words were 'tunnel' and 'roller skates'. I remember the roller skates part but i don't remember the tunnel part clearly. I only have some image of it. I can also vaguely picture a strange structure, maybe a tower for birdwatchers made of bamboo. The next thing I remember was me roller skating with my brother and with my friend. My brother was also on roller skates but I'm not sure if my friend was. Sometimes I skate on the asphalt, sometimes on the ground and sometimes on the sand road, but I hardly feel any difference between the different surfaces.

1700: Afternoon WILD nap attempt. I slept but no dream recall. It had an effect on my sleep during the night. Zeo shows that my deep sleep periods happened late in the night instead of early.

0025: Sleep

0700: B. I'm playing a computer game with Hugh. It's a real time strategy game where the map folds around like a paper origami cube.

Then some old high school people join and we start playing soccer, but we're calling "football". They aren't friends. They are the group that hated me. We are playing inside an old abandoned two-story house. The people what to punish me for some reason so they put me on the team with all be bad players. We are defended a goal in the upstairs of the house, so I tell my team to defend the stairs. The other team is trying to get the ball up the stairs. I steal the ball from a girl and body check her. She falls down the stairs. She is hurt and bleeding from the mouth, but not too bad. I'm not apologetic but everyone else is upset and confronts me. I say that a real soccer player could have handled a hit like that, so it's her fault.

We stop playing and sit on some old couches in the abandoned house. I'm sitting between two girls. The girl I hurt is on my right. She is still upset but not seriously hurt. People are talking about how mean I am. We talk:

Girl: "My problem is you and your problem is me."
Me: "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."
Girl: "OMG, I can't believe you just said that."
Me: "It's a Jay-Z song."
Girl: "Yeah, I know that."
Me: "My problem is me. I am my own problem."


0810: C. I start with a false awakening. I am immediately skeptical. I'm in my own room. I look around and it's fairly convincing. The light outside is late afternoon. That's pretty strange. Also, the window blinds are horizontal when they should be vertical. Nose-plug-check, confirmed. Now I notice there is a girl in my bed, to the right. She is just waking up too. We are both under the covers but not touching. I see she has on a blue polo shirt. She is young, maybe 16. She has long straight brown hair with bangs. I ask "Who are you?" She starts talking but I'm not really listening. She's saying something about the neighbors. I'm just staring at her trying to notice details. She has brown eyes and freckles. I'm inching toward her, but not sure what my plan is. The dream starts to fade. I realize that I should have stabilized earlier and I just feel dumb. Dream ends.
