Saber shows me a soundwave massage chair. It's full of woofers and subwoofers. You play a didjeridoo in it, and then the speakers amplify it, focusing on the subsonic sounds. He says anyone can build it. He doesn't care about the patent. LOL
not much to report since my Dream Recall still sucks... Well, I was stuck at home all day today, so I did some petty work around the house which had made me tired by the evening. By 4 pm I was on my bed, and decided to take a short nap.. I had downloaded this application for my mobile phone, LucidWeaver, and I decided this was a good time to try it out.. I set the alarm to ring after 90 mins and went to sleep.. I remember having this non-lucid dream, still can't recollect much of it, though I remember it involved dogs.. yeah I know, I REALLY gotta work on my Dream Recall Skills So I was with the dogs (for some reason there were three of them), when the alarm went off and and instantly woke me up.. I thought "Oh shit!.." and thought I had blown it. the dream had ended, dogs were no more.. But then I realised my eyes were still closed and I could feel a little numbness in my legs, so I decided to remain still.. I remained that way for a few minutes and slowly began to feel the sleep paralysis set in. The numbness spread from my legs upwards, freezing my mouth and the truckload of saliva I'd accumulated in it by this time () anyway, I was feeling these cool tingly sensations all over and thought I began to see something strangely cool when..., THE FUCKIN ALARM WENT OFF AGAIN!! ..for no reason I can remember..!! The sensations stopped, and before I knew it, I was back to square one.. I tried achieving SP once again but after three minutes the alarm sounded again, knocking me off-guard! So I decided to call it quits for the evening and try again tonight.. The issue with the alarm application, it turns out, is that I had tinkered around abit with the settings earlier and accidentally set two extra alarms, which were meant for 'lucidity training'.. I'm usually a deep sleeper, but somehow I woke up at the first alarm itself that had ruined the plan.. gonna try again tonight with the older settings. I'm still new to lucid dreaming, this is only my second day of actually trying, and I know SP isn't that great an achievement, but still, it felt uber-cool.. can't wait for the night to set in, I think I'll have difficulty falling asleep (my body feels totally rested from the nap), but anyway.. eyes on the prize baby!
NOTES Raven and I meet up at the base of the Tower near the entrance to BanYanLand. Along the way, a bunch of other dreamers appear: MoSh, Loaf, Tigress, mowglycdb, and Walms. Mosh is wearing a white robe with a hood and green trim. His eye are two green gems. I ask him why he's wearing the robe. He grins at me: I AM A SPACE DRUID. His eyes sparkle, and lightning crackles across his teeth when he says it. ok.. these are supposed to be notes. We meet Bobby AKA DJ Sabertooth, AKA Saber. He is a giant were-saber-toothed tiger in a green smoking jacket. He is smoking a giant joint. We hop in a flying car, and he gives us a tour. He talks about the ecology of the place, and how he set up everything to go in circles. He says it's a prototype for a self-sustained Tree-House-Farm. Wow! Permaculture. EXACTLY. There is a silk factory, silkworms... koi... He says the silkworms are weaving dream fabric. The place is HUGE. One. Giant. Tree. We become ant-people and crawl all over the tree. Bobby and Raven laugh maniacally. MoSh is confused. Loaf freaks out. Walms doesn't seem to notice. Tigress shrugs. I gnaw at the tree. **** This dream was so long... I think about an hour... but I don't have time to write it all down.
There is some weird fight-game... at The House... same weird fucking house, always a different looking house, but it's always the same one. Jaegaan gets in a play-fight with that Asian bi chick with the stupid reality show. He grabs her wrist and makes her slap her ass. He undresses her, and they tell me to film with my camera phone. okay... :shadewink: Then, Angel's alarm clock goes off.
I really think that binaural beats don't work for me. Whenever I listen to headphones and try to sleep I just cannot do it. Last night I barely got any sleep at all. It was horrible. I only remember the vaguest fragment of a dream: My brother in law is on a roof and so am I. But the roof I am on is a good 15 feet away from him. I look around. It's sunny out and it looks like we're in the desert somewhere. The setting kinda reminds me of Assassins Creed. I suddenly run forward as fast as I can and leap towards the other roof. I hit the side of the building and my fingers barely clasp the edge of the roof. My heart is pounding and I'm able to pull myself over the edge. I lay there for a second before continuing towards my brother in law. I get to him and say something to him. I can't remember what I said. But I know I mention that we're on some sort of mission. So I point across the way and tell him, after exchanging a few words, that we need to head over there to fight off a few people. After that we need to jump back towards another building where we can meet up at our 'base'. So we do. We jump across and again I barely make it. My hands are just barely over the edge of the ledge. I pull myself up. We fight off a few people on this new building before heading back to the building with our "team". For us to get there we can't jump straight to the roof, we have to hit the ground and then scramble up a rope ladder. I go first. I hit the dusty ground and am on and up the ladder before I can take a second breath. My brother in law attempts the same thing but as soon as he hits the ground he moves too slow and is swept away by a group of men in ninja costumes. I also remember a few little fragments but I'm not going to write those down. I barely got any sleep. It was terrible.
* fell asleep aruond midnight. had 3 good reams but i only remember the first one :( Dream 1: I remember I was at a store and the only items I was concerned about was liquor. I was putting lots of bottles of different varieties into my shopping cart. (i don't remember how I got to the store, and I don't actually remember going to checkout to pay for the alcohol) Now I'm new to dream interpretation, but I'm guessing that since I'm 18, and was drinking last night that my dream was a yearning for freedom??
I was walking through my school ( it was very different to my normal school) trying to find the sport's coach to ask if there was golf that day. The sports office had a thatched roof ?? and all the teachers had left their phones and ipods sitting on the desk with nobody there??? When i left the sports office i was in my garden (i knew it was my home but it was completely different). There were dark clouds overhead and when i began to climb the stairs into my house a hurricane sucked me up and threw me against a high wall. When i fell to the floor i had no injuries (very weird) and suddenly there were a lot more hurricanes all over. I began to run away but more cam from everywhere. That was when i woke up.
Tonight, I only got 7 hours of sleep ... I only remember one dream, and it wasn't lucid. But I'll post it just for fun. Didn't spell-check. I and my parents drove around in a city. We somehow got out of the car, I dont remember, and walked past by some houses. The entrances were under the shade of some trees and it looked pretty nice. I remember being afraid that something like bugs fell down from the trees. My parents kind of discussed how nice it would be to live here, and I responded that I am not sure. When I looked at the top of the building, the building#s architecture was kind of blocky, with some kind of ring under each window and red bricks, there was some sun. Nobody quite seemed to live there, tho. Later, we were in some kind of area that was full of old, graffitti-painted buildings, kind of like "Alsen". It was like a space, surrounded by all these buildings, with one entrance. It was a sunny day, we were waiting for someone, a woman I think, she came later to talk to my parents. I think it was about buying an estate. I looked around, being my usual self, I heard some music coming from one of the buildings, hiphop-like, so I suspected somebody must be spraying in there. I don't remember if I saw anyone when I looked in that direction. But after I looked around more, there were several people. One of them, I think he had black long hair and wore glasses, warned me about something that left me confused. Something like "don't go into the school building(s)"... My parents then were kind of done here, and we went to our car. I, confused as i were, said goodbye to the woman, and turning back, I waved my hand at the guy who warned me about whatsoever it was. After that I remember we somehow got into the car. Then came a scene were we parked at a parking space, there were several together, each with signs. Two people who looked chinese came over, they hung out nearly, and had some worker suits that made them look kind of official. I had the feeling we were not allowed to park there. Maybe it was some parking slot for handycapped people, I thought. But moving over just a few spaces would be troublesome somehow, so I had the idea to swap the parking space signs. Actually it was a very deep-thought thing: We were blocking a space for handycapped people. If we swapped the signs, there would be a reserved slot again. I stared at the parking signs. I couldn't recognite the symbol, it was some kind of closely connected dots, two or three. White, on blue background. When I got out, I dropped my mp3-player into the sand. Okay, parking on sand, wtf? I dunno. I was in kind of a hurry to swap the signs, so i just quickly pulled it out, although my damaged ear-buds might have fell of. I didn't care, I could check it later. Then the dream kind of sucked because suddenly there were more cars parked there, I didn't know which signs to swap and the cars totally parked at the wrong positions. Everything was really messed up. The dream ended here.
11/27/2009 Not Our House Anymore I'm in this really nice home. I look around and see that there are two kitchens. This makes me really happy because apparently Andrea and I are moving in with other people and now we can have separate kitchens. Next thing I know, the other people we're living with are getting really shitty with me and tell me that I have to move my car out of the backyard. Andrea gets upset about this, but I tell her, it's ok, she sold the house to them and they make the rules now. I got out to move the car and there's a huge snake coming after me! He chases me into the street and I can't remember anything after that except that I went back into the house and chased the new owner around the kitchen smashing her fingers into the floor with a coffee mug. Semi-Lucid Lost Ring Saga So we know that I'm still "whatever" about my lost ring. Well, I'm in a house that I think someone is showing me to see if I want to buy it. I feel like the house is familiar and that I've seen it in another dream. I realize I'm dreaming and run into the backyard and start looking in this pile of dirt for my ring because I'm convinced that this is where it is. I say I was only semi-lucid because that's not where my ring was, so I don't know why I would be looking for it in a pile of dirt. Then I lose lucidity and I'm in a car passing by a train that's lit up like it's a Christmas decoration. Then we get out of the car and I'm walking down a dirt path and there are hills of dirt with huge neon signs on them. Someone tells me not to touch them because the lightning activates them and it's about to storm. (???)
11/26/2009 She's Too Young! I'm somewhere at a beach or river... a body of water. I'm in the water with my clothes on. I get out and there are two cars full of people who in my dream I know but I have never seen them in real life. I walk up to someone at one car and ask for a towel... scene change... I'm walking through the front door of the house of someone from the cars. There are two young girls living there. One walks from one room to another wearing only a towel and flashes me! I follow her because she winks at me. I go into her room and realize that I'm in sort of a dorm room. There are posters on the walls, but what catches my eye is a big display of tacky tourist magnets from tons of different cities and states. One in particular is from Myrtle Beach and looks like a key chain that I have. Something happens in my brain that makes me realize that if this girl has this magnet, she must be twelve or thirteen years younger than me... making her sixteen or seventeen years old. I ask her where the magnets all came from and she covers my mouth with her hand. I kiss the palm of her hand and then wake up. I really wanted to know where this was going, so I tried to go back to sleep, and sort of ended up in the same place, but can't remember what happened. You Wanna Throw Down? I am running through a dark alley and I run into a couple of friends. I ask where they're headed and they say the name of a girl, which I can't remember, but they say not her house, but the bar that's named after her. I run off... I jump down a flight of stairs to a restaurant and almost knock down some girls coming out of the bathroom. They get shitty with me and follow me back into the bathroom. One goes into a stall and I kick the stall door open and see her sitting on the toilet giving me the biggest "boo" face I've ever seen! She was so sad that I opened the door on her! Then her friend got shitty with me again, and I said, "You wanna take this outside and throw down??" Instead of going outside, I wake up and go to the bathroom.
So last night was just one after the other craziness. It was like a film festival of five minute short films. First thing... I'm in like a front yard of a house out in the country, but I feel like it's a video game I'm playing because I have a pistol in my hand and I keep trying to reload it like how you reload your gun when you're playing the arcade game "House of the Dead" by just pointing your gun down for a second. But it's not working. When I finally get it to reload, the bullets don't reach the target I'm aiming at. They just sort of fizzle like fireworks gone bad. It's dark out. Then a guy pulls up in his car and I get in and go back to his house with him. His parents are asleep, so we have to be really quiet. We're up in his room doing I don't know what and then he goes to sleep. I go downstairs to the kitchen and start to cook something. I remember what is in the pot looking like salsa, or maybe chili, then I tasted it and wanted random guy to taste it, too, to see if I needed to add the can of tomatoes that was sitting on the counter or not. Then I'm in the lobby of a big apartment building that seems like it's in New York City. In the lobby are all the residents' mailboxes. On the floor, there are these things that look like they could be money, but they are more oval than round, and some are copper, some are silver, and some are gold. They have egg-shaped holes cut out of the middle of them. I look up by the mailboxes after picking up a lot of these "coins" and see that there are posted lots of lists with things highlighted on them. I see my name and it says that I owe $14.40 still on my rent. I'm outraged because I'm sure that I've paid all my rent. In another lobby somewhere I'm in a hospital. I am holding a baby (!) which apparently might have measles. Everyone in the hospital is telling me I shouldn't be holding this baby (duh!). Then my friend who used to live down the block from me, now a nurse, comes up to me and takes the baby to run some tests on it. There was more to this but I don't remember. I'm in a car and I'm yelling out the window to someone that my password for something is 69. I'm saying, "no... s-i-x-t-y and the number 9!!" It's dark out.
11/19/2009 House Party I'm in a car talking to someone and I find out that my mission is to find the girl at this house party that is wearing as some part of her outfit probably on her breasts the halves of 2 gold plastic Easter eggs. (OMG!! how weird!) The other halves were in a box that looked like a small box that pantyhose came in, which is weird because pantyhose also come in little egg shaped plastic containers as well. So I get out of the car and walk up to the door of this really nice mansion-style house and walk in the door. I'm faced with a set of stairs going up to the second floor with a bunch of teenagers talking to each other on them. Suddenly I see this very attractive girl with short curly blonde hair and I tell her that I have got to have sex with her. She is very enthusiastic about this idea and I take her by the hand and walk up the stairs to find a bedroom. In the bedroom that I find, a black couple is getting ready to take their clothes off and get into bed. I tell them, "we deserve this more," and get them to leave the room. I have the feeling that I know this girl and am somehow luckily reunited with her. We have sex and finish and then I remember I have got to find the girl with the plastic gold Easter eggs on her breasts. I walk down the stairs and start looking at everyone I see to try to find the girl in this sea of people. She's not inside, so I go outside to find people are hanging out by a pool in bathing suits. There are girls with just electrical tape X's over their breasts hanging out and swimming. I cannot find the girl I'm looking for. I go back into the house thinking I had missed something when I find a Chihuahua. (Now this is really strange...) I am very attracted to this Chihuahua and take her upstairs to the bedroom. She is a talking Chihuahua who is actually what I believe to be a person trapped in a dog's body. So of course I have sex with her, but the details are a little fuzzy. I wake up wondering what the hell is going on in my subconscious.
11/17/2009 Two Backpacks I'm in a classroom at my old high school. There is a girl sitting next to me playing on a laptop. She turns around her laptop to show me her facebook page. She asks me if I know Shane (from the L Word) and if she's my friend on facebook. I guess a bell rang because everyone is getting up to leave. I have two backpacks and I'm trying to figure out how to put them both on. I'm walking awkwardly with these two backpacks trying to get to a classroom. It dawns on me that I am a teacher in a new school and no one has told me what classroom I need to be in. I'm starting to panic while I'm walking around. It's a campus style high school and I'm outside walking on sidewalks in front of all the classrooms with students in them... with these two backpacks. Suddenly it dawns on me that I'm not a teacher yet and why do I have these two backpacks? I gain lucidity for a split second when Andrea rolls over and wakes me up. Fucking at a Restaurant I'm sitting at a large C-shaped table at a nice restaurant with a bunch of girls. I can see outside above the heads of the people directly across from me and it's nice outside. Everyone is eating soup and talking. Then the girl sitting next to me makes a gesture for me to follow her somewhere. I think we may have ended up in the bathroom at the restaurant and we are having wild and crazy sex! I don't think I've ever had as awesome a sex dream with a girl before. It was like porn, but I was the star. Awesome.
11/15/2009 M&M's I'm in a pick-up truck bed with my mom and some various junk, like garbage cans and stuff from cleaning up someone's yard. At a stop light, a trash can lid blows off one of the trash cans, so I jump out of the truck bed to go get it. I hop back into the truck and realize it's my arch-enemy Jen Euler driving the truck. The light turns green and she drives away, but the truck bed has become detached in the middle of the intersection and is now veering to the left to a house. Apparently, I have survived what I think would have been a horrible crash. It's now dark out and I walk up to the front door of the house I'm at while I'm calling someone on my cell phone. I feel like I'm calling an old friend of mine, Emily K. to come get me. The next thing I know, there are a bunch of my friends in the middle of the street in this strange neighborhood eating M&M's. They're all complaining that the colors are all new, but all I see are black M&M's.
11/15/2009 Slots with Chris Tucker So, let's start from as far back as I can remember. I'm in a department store. There is a sale and there are tons of people in the store, but the only thing anyone is looking at is jeans. But they're really horrible jeans. Old, stone wash, like 80's hair band jeans. And everyone is trying them on in the middle of the store instead of going into fitting rooms. And none of the jeans fit anybody! They're all way too tight, but everyone thinks they look so good in them. I think about telling everyone they look stupid but think better of it. I leave the department store and walk out into the mall. I suddenly realize there is a casino in the mall and head for it at full speed. I head left and see the fountain in the middle of the mall. I'm on the second floor and I see the escalators. I go down the one escalator and at the bottom almost run into a wall. I've got to make an immediate u-turn and go right back up another escalator. I remember thinking this is a most ineffective way to get to the first floor. After I get off the escalator I walk to the left again and see some slot machines. On the end of a row of machines is Bill Murray. He's walking away and has left the machine running with some money in it. I go to his machine and discover that it's a penny machine. Instead of putting money in it, you have to put tickets in it like the kind you get from winning skee-ball. Bill Murray has left a big line of tickets so I run it into the machine. A slot attendant comes by and looks at me funny because the machine is rejecting some of the tickets, and I tell him they were left here and they aren't mine. So I sit down and finally just start hitting the max bet button over and over again mindlessly. Then some kids walk up and want to see what I'm doing. They have pizza, so we're now having like a pizza party at my slot machine. I look down and it's not like a touch screen like slot machines usually are, but it's not an old school reel slot either. It's strange because I know it's a slot machine, but I've never seen one like this before. It's just like a plastic surface with lights embedded in it that light up and make numbers appear in a bunch of different colors. There's no real rhyme or reason to how you make winning combinations. So while trying to figure this out, a female slot attendant comes up to me and hands me $200 in one dollar bills. I keep playing. The next thing I know, the kids and the pizza party are gone, but they left behind all the empty pizza boxes. Now there's a guy with his face right next to mine and he's got a cell phone to his other ear talking to someone. I don't even look to see who it is and I ask him to please take his nonsense elsewhere. (!) He starts to walk away and says I'll regret that and then I realize it's Chris Tucker! I scramble to tell him, no no, he can stay if he wants, my girlfriend loved him in the Fifth Element and would want his autograph. He says "we'll see" and walks away. After a while, he comes back and says he's changed his mind and would love to hang out, where do I live, and what's my number, so he can put it into his cell phone. I tell him I live in Richmond and he says, "no shit, I live like seven minutes away from there!" Then Andrea walks up and I cash out of my slot machine and we walk towards the cashier. Suddenly everything is in slow motion as I see that behind the cashier is the biggest stockpile of fireworks I've ever seen. I'm taking very slow steps at this point and I finally make it to the cashier and ask her if I can cash out in fireworks. She says "of course" and I turn around and ask Andrea if she'd like to pick some out. She says, "you know I don't care about that shit!" and then I turn back around to the cashier and wake up.
