I've been shifting my sleep pattern to Everyman, and in the process I've been getting more and more bits of dreams during my naps. I've not recalled anything from my past two core sleeps, but then again I've been going to bed later than intended.

Will try to record dreams sooner after I've had them, and also post a few short ones at some point.

okay this is probably one of the best dreams I've had yet. so first i was by the ocean, on some old worn out dock, and then on a highway directly on the coast. then i found a slide, like a playground slide, leading into the ground, like down into nowhere. there was a rabbits foot hanging at the entrance of the slide. i got in a grabbed on to the foot and said ..."lets see how for the rabbit hole goes" and then it broke, i fell in, i came out i was underground or something and i fell through like a hole or something and then i was flying like on a roller coaster really fast and then i was in a giant room underground with giant plants growing everywhere and no floor and then there was a platform floating in the middle with a few houses. and i went inside and i was at the beach.

Sept 16th

I dreamed of Hobbits, Orcs, Elfs and a ring of power.

I realise now I was Tolkien in my sleep.

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

---------------------------
||Dream Fragment||
---------------------------

The beginning of the dream was hazy, and I don't remember any of it, but I ended up in a very dark hotel room. It was dim-lighted with dark brown furniture, and a curtained window. I was looking for my father in the hotel, and couldn't seem to find him anywhere. I stumbled upon a blinking time-bomb. I thought 'Oh crap!' and jumped out the window. While falling three stories, I ditched the bomb in the ocean, which promptly shorted out. I walked around and saw a few cartoon people in shark outfits chasing my cartoonified dad. I pulled him out of the madness and walked towards a nearby dock. I chatted with some family and friends and turned around to the hotel. A young woman in a modernistic kimono dress randomly handed me an odd sword. It was long, wide, and had a dragon design on the handle base. It looked similar to Sephiroth's blade, but a bit shorter and wider.



As I was playing with it, I noticed a commotion up some ways. I saw an odd machine that looked like a recent creepypasta I saw.



I muttered under my breath, ''They've found us.'' I turned around and got my family to the dock. I watched the machine look through different buildings, around and under everything in it's path. I started to devise a plan to keep my family safe. A moment later, I yelled, "RUN!" Everyone in the vicinity ran away from the machine as it charged after it. I stayed behind, trying to fake out the machine, as it lunged toward me, I tried to think of running back, then jumping into the water where it wouldn't reach. As I ran back, the machine grabbed me on my left leg and I landed with a *smack* on the concrete ground. It's claws began to dug into my leg. At this point, I woke up, with a tingly feeling in my leg.

Notes:
Vividness: 7/10 (My dreams are getting easier to remember and they are getting more vivid.)
Obviously since I said, "They've found us," I was probably pursued by a group of people before my dream was easy to remember.

Unlucid


I was in this town when suddenly aliens start coming out of the sky. I get in my dad's car quickly and we start driving home. When we get there, there are some weird clouds in the sky. I tell my dad that we better start stocking up on food cause we might be stuck at home for a while. After this I woke up In bed very tired. As I went back to sleep I was telling myself, "I hope that was a dream."

I was with the German Exchange student again. Since he's beginning to be a recurring character, we'll call him MM. We were in Germany, walking through the streets. We walked under an overpass where we saw a small group of homeless teenagers. We were about to pass them, when he turned around suddenly to talk to them. He said something in German, and gave one of them a hug.

We went inside of a mall and he showed me around. I noticed that some of the ads were in English. He told me that they had rules about what could/couldn't be written on the ads, so to avoid this the advertisers wrote it in English instead.

He bought me a necklace with gray rocks on it. It was interesting looking. I didn't ask for it, but I thanked him anyways. That was very kind of him.

The mall was closing, but he said that he wanted to show me one last thing. The people around us were disappearing, and the food court was closing down. We walked to the food court and to a small restaurant that was closing shop for the night. The employees smiled at us, they flipped a switch and all the sudden it was raining inside of the restaurant! We had a great deal of fun with the sprinklers, and even managed to persuade the owners to let us play with their water hose that hooked up to the dishwasher and the sprinkler system. By the time we were done, we were soaking wet, but we had a great time with each other.

Together we left the mall and walked out into the parking lot in the night.

"I had a bad dream about you the other night," I said to him. When I looked over, he was gone. I ran to the car where the exchange family was and told them that MM was missing. My phone rang, and when I picked it up a strange voice was on the other end. They were pretending to be MM, but the voice was so dull and flat it was a terrible attempt. I eventually deduced that he had been abducted.

Notes: Got to sleep early and woke up in the middle of the night. Tried for hours to fall back to sleep and finally gave up. Watched a movie and eventually returned to sleep for a few hours.

2215: Sleep

0215: B. I am in SAV. I am hanging out with Ben. He lives at the sound end of the complex. I think I am helping him move. He gets upset and I want to leave but I am still at his house. He and his older brother (doesn't exist IWL) are starting th make other plans for the evening. They want to go smoke pot? I feel left out but I can't leave yet for some reason. I keep thinking about how JavaScript doesn't have statics. I think the statements var s = 0; this.static = s;.

Now it's Dave in the house instead of Ben. He is dressed up in black and white. He's leaving soon and is looking for a sweater. He yells at his mother but she doesn't have it. She is pregnant and moves slowly. He yells "Get hobbly!" to tell her to hurry. I leave and start walking home. I pass by a playground. People are talking about how it is new. From the second story of the apartment building, there is a slide. People are saying that a slide is safe for kids than stairs or a ladder. A young girl is saying this as she is climbing a ladder.

0815: Back to sleep

1030: B. I'm in a big indoor mall. I think the whole mall is sports themed. I'm there with work people and old school people. We are at a sports bar. Somebody has a giant old typewriter in front of them at the table. Lucas is there and we are trying to avoid him. He wants to be called "Lazurus" or "Laz". I change tables a few times to avoid him. Each time I close my table with my credit card. I'm drinking beer, something pale. At the last table, my credit card doesn't go through. I look at the card as the waitress hands it to me. It's a white(?) American Express card. Something to do voting? It has some letters on it that are supposed to say how it should be used. I open my wallet and it's all messy. I pull out my green AmEx card (from the wrong slot IWL) and everything is fine.

There is a competition among some people in our group. I'm not participating, just watching. It's being televised by ESPN. The events are outdoorsy things, like chopping wood. There are three events in different parts of the mall. The whole group walks around the mall between events. My teeth keep falling out and I try to stick them back in and hold them in place. I don't stay until the end of the last event. I don't know who wins. I wander around the mall trying to find the exit. I reach a dead end, which seems familiar for some reason. I turn around and head a different way. I run into Ashwin. He was in the competition. I guess he didn't win. He asks me about the ESPN broadcast. I think he wants to be sure that his mom sees it. Then we talk about tennis.

1248: C. I go to work, but it seems like a car wash. It's just me, Frank, Lucas, and a faceless artist. They are debating with the artist about the color of a couch and some 2D images for characters that can be pieced together for different poses. The couch is in the car wash tunnel. I say nothing. Lucas suggests going to Costco to buy more couches. He leaves. Then a bunch of young kids enter the room. Frank comes up to me to confront me about missing work. We try to talk over the noisy kids. He says "You're not well." I say "No, I'm not." He says "We were comparing you before and after and you're not the same. You're dressed like a kid." I look down and see I'm wearing the company baseball jersey. Frank is wearing the same thing.

I'm quite stressed lately, and I've not really noticed any correlation with writing in a waking journal to trigger dreams. I'm putting my JILD on hold until I can get a little more stable. I've got a few classes at the DVA coming up as well so i don't want to have to much on my plate.


Last night i remember having 3 dreams, but i didn't write them down.

i remember a non lucid dream of me going through my hometown and seeing people who wanted to be shocked by this crazy machine someone built. I also remember fighting someone, and even stopping jets going through the streets to throw at them.

The content of this dream is probably due to the fact that I was up until 2 A.M. last night, writing an essay about Karl Marx. I want to acknowledge to everyone that reads this: I do NOT condone the philosophy of Karl Marx. In fact, I'm not a huge fan of him at all. That's probably why I killed him once I became lucid.

The dream began in an oddly colored version of my former work place, which was a private neighborhood pool. I've been going to his pool since I was around the age of three, so I know it like the back of my hand. One of its features is a rectangular roofed concrete area with grey bench tables. This is where the dream began.

As I walked up to that area, I noticed one of my friends who also worked there sitting on top of the bench table to the side. "You ready to dominante?" He said. "We got this." I said. When he got up I turned around, noticing a long wooden bench table with two groups of yellow party cups arranged in pyramids for beer pong. Karl Marx appeared at the other end of the table, alone with no partner. I looked down at the wooden table again to pick up a ping pong ball, when an odd realization hit me. This is when I became lucid. I didn't even perform a reality check. I knew I was dreaming because there had not been wooden tables at this pool for almost ten years. I remember them so well because we all had our signatures engraved in them. The ones that are there currently are grey and plastic. For some reason I didn't think of stabilizing. I looked back up at Marx. Then I looked at my friend. He gave me this extremely serious expression that lead me to do the following, and I'm not sure why: I looked back at Marx and said, "Sorry dude. You're not supposed to be here." I imagined myself holding a gun and lifted my arm. Sure enough, there was a slate-grey DE.50-looking pistol in my hand. I pulled the trigger without even taking the time to steady my aim and shot Marx in the chest. The round seemed to knock him back hard as he was thrown into one of the support beams. I woke up at this point, pissed off at myself for not stabilizing.

September 16, 2010

Asleep by 1am. Getting a bad cold, so sleep was a bit of a fallacy last night.

Walms, the puppy!
[Guest house]
Jack and I live in a guest house that is on my parent's property. It has an awesome bathroom. Nice big jet-tub and the sink is a very unique shape. Rectangular and nearly flat. I questioned how it holds water, but it seems to, so...okay...?

[Boardroom meeting]
I joined these other ladies around this boardroom table. They're all celebrities and I recognize them, but I don't know their names and I can't be bothered to look them up. This boardroom was inside the main house, where I was living.

I can't recall what was said, but the chick with the short red hair was upset because she'd said something that offended someone else. It was smoothed over, and we went on to our discussions.

The room very slowly started transforming. It was no longer a boardroom, but a very large bedroom we were lounging around. This is where Walms first appeared. He left the room, and I got a call on my phone. "I need you to meet me downstairs, urgently!" he said.

I excused myself and went downstairs. Walms had shapeshifted into a dog... a very adorable furball poodle (sorry Walms!). He said he had a hot date with another dog down the street :banghead: but his puppy convertible wasn't working... It all just kind of disintegrates from here.

Sorry Walms... my dreams get weird when I'm sick :Oo:

Weird Al fragment
Singing "Achy Breaky Song" to my BF.

I'm at school. My friend comes to me. He says we're having a cooper test later that day. I go into the school building. In the building there is a dentist and a hairdresser who thinks everyone should be bald. I go upstairs. It turns into a summer camp at which I was at summer. I go to my bed. Although it isn't like the bed I had at the camp, it feels familiar. I partially take the blanket off. Under it is an instrument of some kind. I do something to the instrument to produce sound. I'm not sure where I went next (maybe downstairs), but next I'm in my dream world, in a cottage in which I have been before (at least in one dream the forest outside was haunted). The walls have some holes in them and the floor is composed of the soil of the forest. I come out of the cottage. There are other students also, and our teacher. The teacher gives us all half a watermelons. A friend of mine asks the teacher if he can go home because he has some things to do. "No, you can't", the teacher says. "We are going to listen to some Chopin now!". She goes inside another cottage opposite to the another one. I has some decoration in it, a proper floor and no holes in the walls. I put my watermelon on a table. I go outside and continue to the shore. The ground turns into a beach. For the next three days I drink heavily (haven't ever even considered that). After those three days have passed, I'm totally screwed. I feel like having a leak so i unzip and start to pee. The sun burns my eyes. My mother and my brother emerge from the forest. My mother shouts something like "Whatcha doin' there?". I finish and pull my pants back up. Shortly after that I wake up.

Last night I only recalled fragments of a dream but it was an improvement of my previous nights of no dreams recalled at all.

I was going to a dormitory and it was in the evening but not too late. When i came in everybody was sleeping, I remember two of my friends being there. I was being shouted at by the people in charge of the dormitory ( I think for coming back late even though it wasn't very late).

I am walking about a very odd neighborhood. I say it was odd because I couldn't for the life of me discern whether or not it was a town, a city, a school, a campus, etc. It was just odd in that strange dream-like sort of way that is very nearly impossible to explain to another human being (or computer screen as the case may be).

As I am walking, I eventually end up somewhere, and that somewhere is not a place I really wanted to be. It was a great towering walmart. Now, let me explain a little something about myself....

I don't go to walmart. The place scares the crap out of me. It's big and scary and there are flourescent lights, and it's just the kind of place I don't want to go. The last time I went to walmart (irl) I very nearly got a panic attack as soon as we had made it about halfway through the store. I really don't like that place (or any giant department stores/malls, walmart just seems to generally be the worst though).

Anyhow, as I was saying, I was swiftly approaching the walmart on foot when I found I was holding a strange pamphlet. It had lots of pictures of RV's on them and said that I would be able to purchase a 5 room RV for $1,200. The thing was like a freaking palace. It also inflated into a full house with a garden sometimes, but I forget how you made it do this.

Somehow I purchased the RV and was pretty happy about it. I think I made a bargain with some people saying I would pay them back. They gave me the RV and a $600 gift certificate to walmart that had to be spent within the next hour or it would expire.

I ventured inside of the great fortress, the fluorescent lights were blinding, the store huge, a giant labyrinth of aisles and strange hidden places that I didn't particularly wish to explore. I grabbed a cart. The entirety of the time I was inside the fortress the cart was simply following me and I was not pushing it. This made perfect sense at the time, and in fact I did not pay much attention to it. I kept calling things in French, but it was kind of a jumble. I was really americanizing it all. For example "oh these are pretty tasses." People kept giving me strange looks. At one point I exclaimed out loud, "fuck this shit, I don't care if I don't spend the money, this place sucks," and stormed out the front doors.

I saw a few people I knew in the parking lot. I wanted to show them my RV thinking that I would impress them. I took them inside and the first thing I showed them was that in the main bedroom, if you flipped the bed over it was a giant hot tub. They were not amused.

... the next parts of the dreams were strange, hazy, bizarre and I'm going to have an incredibly difficult time trying to explain just exactly what happened.

It had something to do with Sleeping Beauty and Snow White.

I was with a group of people. We had to go into a cave and rescue/save/defeat something. There were beautiful flowers that were pink and seemed to be made out of glass. I kept picking them up and admiring them.

There was talk of how we must reenact the old stories. Later there was talk of how we were filming a movie.

At one point I walked through downtown Santa Cruz and into a pizza place. There was a large group of people sitting around on bar stools in a circle. I think it was someones birthday. There was someone else with me who had walked in but I don't remember. We all sat down and they all went and sat down at a different table. Me and the other person were left sitting around wondering what we should do. We got up and sat with them and then left because we didn't like the energy.

A lot of other stuff happened but unfortunately it's too hard for me to describe right now.
