    1. In Square Spiral

      by , 08-23-2018 at 10:47 AM
      Morning of August 23, 2018. Thursday.

      Reading time: 42 sec. Readability score: 66.



      In my dream, I am in an unknown setting, finding myself wandering around in an ambiguous inside-outside feature. (That is, I seem to be outside and inside at the same time. It is a dream awareness, quite common, that I cannot consciously resolve.)

      I am mainly near a structure that models Ulam’s spiral. I walk along an outer wall. I see Christopher Franke standing near one corner and talking about a particular song. I have a vague but incorrect memory that Tangerine Dream did the soundtrack for “The Bermuda Depths.” Another male is playing a keyboard. It is supposed to be a live commercial or promo, but Christopher forgets the name of the song, though is not angry. He is cheerful about the mistake.

      I continue to go inward around the square spiral. I know I will probably see Christopher again near (and before) another turn. As I approach, I know he is dressed differently, promoting a different song. I know there will be additional versions of him near other corners. I do not consider this unusual.

      76/ I drove a powder blue VW Beetle in search of something. I saw a massive yardsale and was distracted. Parked and browsed around the sales. Tried to order food but they said the food was for delivery only. I'd have to get it delivered elsewhere. Continued browsing. Police cars and ambulances swarmed the area. Someone had been run over and we were all evactuated from the area. My car was stuck in the mud so I left it and walked down the street trying to see evidence of the person who was run over. I saw no such thing. Got me thinking they were covering something else up, getting us out of the area for some other reason. Kept walking.

      Hypnogogia. Black flames that were only visible in the dark due to a faint white light that shone at the flame edges, making them look like dancing silhouette flames. People gathered around them.

    3. 18-08-22 Hallucinating Numbers & Words

      by , 08-22-2018 at 08:44 PM
      I was at work in our break room, and decided to put my head down and take a nap. I didn't really sleep and remained conscious the whole time, but I did start hallucinating. I saw a comic book (I was reading some before this) and tried to focus hard on the numbers and words that appeared in the speech balloons of the characters. A few days ago, I considered playing the lottery with whatever numbers I could extract from my dreams. The numbers changed as I looked at them. Sometimes the text was utterly illegible and it took effort to make them 'take shape'. Other times the things the characters were saying (words in the speech balloons) didn't many any sense at all. Like the ramblings of the 'hybrids' from Battlestar Galactica.

    4. I Talk to my Deceased Grandmother

      by , 08-22-2018 at 06:18 PM
      So
      For context, I lost my grandmother in June of last year. She died from complications from Alzheimer's, which she struggled with for the better part of a decade. So for most of my life, she didn't know my name. Most of the memories I had of her are filled with silence, and that's what my image of her has been up until now, until I spoke with her in last night's dream.

      In the dream, for whatever reason I'm at this guy's house having a metal part made for me. As he's grinding away on the band saw, a person enters the room. That person is my grandmother, who beckons me out of the room. I follow her to a love seat out in the hallway, where we sit down and talk. She is fully conscious. She tells me that she loves me and she missed me,and glad to see me now. She seemed so real and full of life, unlike how I remembered her. I ask her if she was aware every time I was visited her even though she couldn't communicate. She said yes, and also that she was disappointed that I didn't see her more often. This made me feel shameful. I told her that I know I should have, and apologized for it.

      We were silent for a minute or so, and then coincidentally I started talking about dreams. I asked her if she remembered any profound dreams from her life. She said yes, and began telling me about one of them. As she spoke, I slowly floated back up to my waking self, and woke up.


      So yeah. I know this is just a dream and that my grandma was probably just a dream character, but nevertheless the experience was just so profound. Above all I'm glad that I now have a way of remembering my grandmother as she was, before the Alzheimer's

      Non-dream stuff - had a long non-lucid dream, but didn't immediately come to make note of it, so it's become more of a dream fragment.



      Fragment:
      I was getting married to my partner, who didn't look like himself but instead looked like a woman wearing a white wedding dress. I remember a Gothic style church, though I don't remember the layout exactly. The part I was in had some stained glass and the light came through directly, though I don't remember the light being coloured. There was a lower tier with square steps surrounding it (difficult to describe) and there were candles.

      There was something about me needing a suit because I only had a hand-me-down suit and I suggested to my partner that getting a new one so late would be too expensive and that maybe we shouldn't bother.

      Then I remember getting in a car with my oldest sibling. The driver seat was oddly positioned at the back, and I wondered how we were going to be able to see where we were going. I think it was evening in the dream at this point.



      Notes:
      • The whole dream reminded me somewhat of when I went to visit my oldest sibling for their wedding. None of the locations in the dream are familiar to me though.
      • I don't particularly like wearing suits, so my suggestion to my partner was partly taking this into account.
      • In waking life, me and my partner are really not interested in a wedding at all and in the dream neither of us seemed that keen on it anyway. The wedding theme has probably been brought on the dream-world because I've recently been hearing about weddings.
      • There were more than a few good cues to RC, especially given the (unusual to me) context of the dream.

      Date of Dream: WED 22 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 404 - Twisted Circus Performers


      I don’t remember what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was walking around a Kmart store but I forgot what as I looking for… I may have just been looking around with no intention. There was a sub-scene playing where I was talking to this stranger man and women who were apparently representatives for this circus performance company. The man was okay but after a while, I felt slightly creeped out by the woman.

      The next scene started off in the driveway of my house. I went into my brother’s bedroom and he was in there as well as his friend RK. NB said that he was going over to Sleep over at RK’s place and then a couple of weeks later, they would meet up again in the main city to attend some tech and gaming exhibition event together. I asked if I could attend any of the events with them. My brother was hesitant at first but he finally gave in and said that I could come to the sleepover as well.

      For the rest of the dream, I was really excited. Although it was mentioned that we were taking a different car, I went into the driveway and started clearing everything out of my mum’s car to make room for all the luggage I was going to pack, even taking the divider off between the boot of the car and the back seat. There were some other scenes in between this where I was in an unknown area and I was doing some shopping as well as exploring the streets of the unknown suburb. The dream ended right before we were due to head off to RK’s place.

    7. Dream - Little Dreamer-To-Be

      by , 08-22-2018 at 10:18 AM
      Date of Dream: TUE 21 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 403 - Little Dreamer-To-Be

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, my friend JH had originally invited me to attend a party with her on Sunday night. When it got to Sunday night, I received a message from her on Facebook. She said that she wasn’t going on Sunday night anymore and rather that we would go on Monday night. I then went and asked my mum if I could attend the party and she said no. I kept trying to convince her but then she very sternly yelled “no!” and started to get very angry with me now.

      The next scene took place in the dining room of my old house but there was no transition into this scene, rather, it was a direct link of the last scene. I was sitting on the table but I forgot what I was doing specifically. There was talk of the boys from my brother’s university having a games night and it had something to do with either dominoes or dice. I wanted to attend but my mum said I wasn’t allowed to and I felt cut about that.

      Then out of nowhere, an envelope appears on the dining room table. I open the envelope to find that it is something from JO. It looks like an elegantly written letter on some good quality thick cardboard paper. At the start of it, she uses emotional appeal by somehow almost over-praising my talent of music. On reading the letter further, I found that she was inviting me to an event. I said to myself, “She’s just trying to promote herself.

      My mum then comes up to me and insists that I go to JO’s function but I said I didn’t want to. No matter what I said, my mum kept going and once again got angry at me. I was thinking to myself, “She forces me to go to this thing yet she won’t let me go to a party with JH...”. I kept saying no for a while but my mum got angrier and angrier and actually quite soon, I felt the need to run away.

      This boy appeared and his name was Andreas, I was going to be mentoring this boy for the rest of the dream. He ran with me though the dining room which was now made of a longer area than in real life, so it almost felt like the room was endless. The house then morphed back into the layout of my current house again but that’s when my dad also now joined in on the chase.

      Andreas and I ended up outside, I don’t know how we got down from the balcony though… You’d kill yourself in real life. We were now running in the pergola area, towards the fence and it was the area between the Greek residents at the back of the house and the next door neighbour to the left of my house if you were looking out towards the front driveway from the garage. Sometimes I would look to Andreas to make sure he was keeping up and at other times, I would look back to see my parents hot on our tails and not falling back anytime soon.

      At some point on the run, even if not his parents, Andreas was looking worried. I said to Andreas while still running, “If you call for Dreamy WB, Murray, or 18-Volt, someone will come and help you”, emphasising their names their names in a clear tone so he would understand. Firstly Andreas tried calling for Dreamy WB but nothing happened. He then decided to try 18-Volt next but nothing happened either. Andreas looked at me like “we’re doomed”; I suggested that he should try for 18-Volt again.

      Second time lucky we were as something happened. The dream camera lifted up a bit to show the crystal clear blue sky. A very feint projection of 18-Volt showed, pointing towards the sun. He then disappeared and the sun came closer, shooting a thin ring of visible energy out from it. It didn’t affect me or Andreas but as the ring hit my mum and dad, they were pushed back slightly, allowing us a window of time to get away.

      We indeed had more time that I could now plan how we were going to get out of the area. In order to be able to leave the area, we would have to go over all the houses, and so I taught Andreas how to jump onto rooftops in a sort of moon-jump motion. I was standing on one rooftop as I instructed Andreas on how to get onto consecutive rooftops without touching the ground. I then also told him that it was easier if he could find flat rooftops.

      For some reason, after that, my attention was drawn back to the music room and so I actually went backwards. Andreas followed and I entered the music room to investigate some piece of musical equipment. I then had a thought that I have every colour of belt in my wardrobe except orange. There I saw it, apparently it was my orange belt with flower decorations attached onto it and my dad was using that belt to secure a piece of his equipment in place.

      I quietly removed the belt off the piece of equipment and put in on myself. As I looked though the glass door, it acted as a mirror and so I was able to see the outfit I was wearing. Once I discovered the outfit I was wearing, I felt starstruck and so proud of myself… I love colourful outfits and that’s what I was wearing. It was a light blue denim dress with the orange belt, as well as coral coloured leggings and orange flats.

      Soon though, the sight of my dad coming towards the music room caught my eye and I started to freak out. I had started running too late though as my dad saw but then he said something to me, I forgot what it was though. A big sign of relief had hit me and I had stopped, knowing that my dad wasn’t angry at me. With Andreas still standing at the side, not doing anything, my dad made a comment on my clothing and said that he liked more plain designs; he said he would have preferred it if I was wearing something like a dark grey and murky green. The dream then ended there.

      As soon as I write to someone new, the dream thinks I want another dream guide. I literally quoted in my letter to 18-Volt that as a full-time gamer in 4th grade, he is likely to have little to no understanding of the dream world and its principles. So therefore, I was anticipating a more casual interaction, kind of like interacting with a friend in real life. I thought to be either directing and orientating him myself or alternatively, going down to his level and doing what he wants to do. So even though the dream seems to be pushing 18-Volt towards the direction of dream guide, I've placed him on trial for the rest of August (meaning he will not score points for dream guide assistance in this competition). If he continues to provide meaningful advice and assistance, then he will be granted the position of the third Dream Guide Team Member from September. 18-Volt's trial will be fast-tracked if he manages to pull off something amazing (based on the dreamer's discretion), this is feasible because the August guide currently in Slot 3 has not performed, so there are no points that have to be altered if 18-Volt exceeds the expectations of his trial.

    8. Undoing a Cult Leader’s “Magic” with a Giant Golden Candle

      by , 08-22-2018 at 10:07 AM
      Morning of February 22, 2016. Monday.

      Reading time: 5 min 42 sec. Readability score: 66.



      My family and I are leaving our home on Stadcor Street due to an understanding that Daniel (Zsuzsanna’s younger half-brother on her mother’s side) is ill and could make us sick. (This is illogical because he is not around or likely to visit.) I carry a big suitcase as we all leave our house. We walk toward the city of Brisbane, but I have the idea we will be walking to America to avoid getting the illness.

      Eventually, we are sitting at a bus stop in an unfamiliar area with other people after I get tired of walking. (There are at least two bus shelters oriented end to end.) I am uncertain when the bus will arrive or if it will take us to our destination (closer to America, reachable by a short bridge from Australia as they are next to each other in my dream). I begin to realize that I have a car we can use that should be appearing soon. I think it is the fancy white car across the street. As I go to it, I look at the back to notice my first name written clearly above the license plate. That may be evidence it is my car though I consider it may belong to someone else. The door on the front left side is open, and we all get in, though I am the only one that sits in front. I assume the car has three rows of seats, as otherwise, all of us would not be able to fit. There is a periscope as well as an automatic pilot. I quickly drive off while vaguely thinking that it still might be someone else’s car but this is not a concern.

      I safely and effortlessly drive through buildings, solid walls, and over water. I stop at a rocky cliff overlooking the ocean. I look over the cliff to see a few men wandering about on the rocks about ten feet below. Now there is an unknown homeless male with us, and I offer him food. (He has not eaten for a few days and has been wandering in the region.) I pick up a suitcase to use infra-control as a potential to create food in it, but upon opening it, there are only my family’s folded clothes inside, I then open a rucksack and reach in expectantly and see I am holding a baguette. He is cheerfully thankful, as it is his favorite food. I reach in and produce a second one, which I also give him.

      I think about how the southeast section of America nearly touches the northwest section of Australia. It is like I see the Strait of Juan De Fuca (northwest above Washington state in reality) in the northwest corner of Australia, and that links to Charleston, North Carolina. Part of it could be confusing the Victoria above Washington state with the Victoria in Australia. It is not only an error of country location. I think we are still in Brisbane (the opposite side of Australia than my dream’s implication). (However, if you rotate Australia around to line up with the USA, the two Victorias are in the same area, though one is a city and one is a state.)

      We are now at a Brisbane train station. It seems to be nighttime. There is a Russian wolfhound (Borzoi) lying on one of the benches. It possesses the soul of an unknown man’s ex-girlfriend. He hired a cult leader (present near a waiting train) to transform her with magic. I talk to the dog. She acts as if I am ridiculous in talking to her and makes a sarcastic remark about people who talk to dogs. There is an ambiguous awareness that I am in a bus station and the dog is a greyhound (as a Greyhound is a kind of bus). The increasing ambiguity, along with the dog’s sarcastic attitude, annoys me. I decide to help her even though she seems resigned to her fate.

      I tell the young male cult leader that I will change the dog back, but he believes he is the only one with magical powers. I say, “…and now a golden candle, taller than me, appears here,” and it happens. A golden candle taller than I appears before me in a giant brass candle holder. He is amazed and stunned. It gets smaller until it is of standard size. I place it atop a small, round, wooden table that belongs to be the cult leader (even though it is a public area). Some blue, jellylike wax overflows from the giant candle holder. I apologize to him in case any of it falls out to damage the tabletop, though this does not occur. From here, looking at the mixed colors brings me into an abstract state, and I slowly wake.



      Dream errors other than known infra-control: We have not lived on Stadcor Street for years. One cannot walk to America from Australia, and they are not next to each other. I could not carry a big heavy suitcase very far in waking life. Maps (as well as location orientation) are hardly ever realistic or correct in dreams. I do not question blue wax coming from a yellow candle. I do not recognize a talking dog or magical abilities as strange.

      Dream opposites: Walking south to Brisbane would imply walking in the opposite direction of where America would be, though this distorts in conflicting ways later. One of the reasons for our move to Bundaberg was concern over an illness more likely to be present in Brisbane (SARS), opposite inference to my dream’s scenario.

      Dream accuracies: My infra-self is similar to my current conscious self in marriage and family status (as well as living in Australia).

      Subliminal, liminal, and lucid creation and control of dream content: The summoning of the car with my name on the back is common subliminal control of the dream state, having nothing to do with real life. I have often deliberately done this in both lucid and non-lucid dreams. A car represents maintaining the illusory physicality of the dream state. Driving through buildings, walls, and over water (of which I also do with my illusory dream body without a car) is infra-control, unrelated to real life. I often use infra-control or control when lucid to create and control dream factors. The appearance of clothes is a typical infra-sign I am dreaming (as I do not wear clothes in bed while sleeping). My effort worked on the second attempt, which is common.

      General concepts: It is usually harder for me to walk in both non-lucid and lucid dreams than to fly (though I usually end up flying whenever I had been walking for a time). With the highest level of lucidity, walking is more thrilling than flying, as the realism of physicality is more defined and accurate. Since early childhood, I have used reading to attain more of a focus on the dream state (though sometimes the writing changes or becomes nonsensical), especially in reading my name somewhere as here. I use yellow and creating and lighting candles (in both lucidity and non-lucidity) to clarify my conscious self identity in the dream state. The homeless man was a preconscious witness to my mode of awareness while the cult leader was this dream’s preconscious avatar. It all comes down to whether the processes of my reticular formation (RAS) have more or less control as my emerging consciousness (the dog in this case) in the waking transition. A dog usually represents how much control I have in the dream state. Animals becoming people is a common waking status, or in fact, anything going from unlikely (such as a talking dog) to resolved.

      Prescience (updated same day): When I went outside tonight, I found a rucksack of the same colors and size as the one from my dream, lying just outside our house near the curb, that someone could only have dropped tonight. I felt what could have been a baguette through the canvas, but it turned out to be a tall empty water bottle. Zsuzsanna first thought a hookah was sticking out from it, and so did I for a second, until I realized it was a large hydration pack (the kind with a long transparent hose). Looking inside, I discovered it belonged to a Swedish male named Axel. The only other contents were documents, most related to applying for a tax file number. He may have lost it from his bicycle, or maybe someone stole it from him and tossed it.




    9. Transforming Devil

      I close my eyes then start moving lucidly around my surrounding then I fall to my knees holding my stomach then grip the ground bashing the floor I scream I start to fall from the heavens then I wake up in lucidity murdering every virtual opponent I start crying as my tears start to fall I start transforming god starts worshipping me trying to banish me out of heaven until I see her again then I start moving slowly I bend down on one knee then lounge forward screaming I wake up laying in bed in darkness I close my eyes tighter my eye lids start to fall then I'm flying in the heavens looking at a vast eternity I see puppets and angels getting murder In my sight the there jus subconscious being I don't know if they really have a consciousness then I wake standing in mid air falling from my chest start bleeding then I'm falling in the ocean as I get buried under water in the ocean I wake up I close my eyes tighter then I'm in a seem less adventure where I'm in a burning forest where I stand in the wake of others persecuting me until I sleep again

      Dream No. 402 - Wannabe Weight Watchers

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in some unknown area and a girl fro high school, JS was speaking to me. In real life, she didn’t talk much and rather had a hard time communicating. In the dream though, I was surprised when she spoke in extremely fluent English, in an Aussie accent and sounded like the smartest girl on the planet. I forgot exactly what she said though.

      The scene didn’t change but rather the area morphed into the dining room of my old house. So JS must have been talking to me in a really distorted version of the dining room. Eventually, there was mention that RK was about to leave when I didn’t even know he was at my house in the first place. JS wasn’t in the dream anymore. Now I walked RK to the front door and saw him out of the house.

      I am then in an unknown area and there is also my mum as well as a lady from a food blog I follow online. My mum is verbally attacking me based on my weight (just like she would in real life although I don’t look anywhere near fat). I end up walking away from my mum but as soon as I sat down, the other lady came to me and was pressing down on my extremely enlarged thighs in this dream to further attack me on my weight and as she would press down on them, they would become very tingly and then numb.

      Now the scene is at this park near the local primary school to my house and my mum and the lady are standing and staring ominously at me. I had just about had enough of the constant bullying and so I recommended that my mum and I face each other in an RPG style battle. My mum agreed and so the lady left so my mum and I could have a full battleground.

      While standing in the grassed area of the park, I explained to my mum the rules about an RPG battle. I said to her that we would each be assigned a certain number of points as health and we would take turns attacking each other to make this number go down. If our points reached 0, we would pass out. I then mentioned that we each had a couple of special attacks but I forgot what they were, I think one of mine was called “--------- Sweeper”. Before we could start the battle, the dream ended.

      Dream No. 401 - Separated Sections

      Dream 401 A - British Students
      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in my court and there were all these white vans parked at the side of the road just outside my house; there was also a van parked in the driveway. The next scene is slightly blurry to me. These guys have come to perform some sort of trade but I was somewhat suspicious of them. Inside the house, some of the men were interacting with my mum but I forgot what exactly happened.

      I was then at Brandon Park Shopping Centre in the area close to the food court and I was talking with a bunch of people. Apparently it was a small group of students, all girls, and a couple of teachers who had come from a school in the UK, I remember calling them British students in this dream. I forgot what was spoken about specifically but I remember we covered a lot of different topics. After talking for a while, I woke up.

      When I fell back asleep, it felt like it was a continuation from the dream I had woken up from. One recurring aspect was the exact same group of British students and their teachers. I forgot what happened at the start of the dream. Were now in a large room which felt to me like the inside of a modern church but the room could be used for many purposes. In this case, there was a Super Smash Bros tournament taking place, seemingly being facilitated by me.

      Since the British students weren’t very familiar with the environment, I thought I originally wasn’t going to include them but then I thought that this would be a memorable experience for their excursion and so I did include them within the two teams. The first team that the dream camera showed was the team that I wasn’t in. There were two of the British girls in this team as well as all these other girls but these other girls were cartoonified to look like characters from the Total Drama Island TV show.

      As the facilitator, I was trying to include the British girls as much as possible and even gave them a pep talk on a few things. I said to the group of girls that even though two of them weren’t in my team, to just enjoy the experience and make the most out of them. I then reassured the girls that most of them were actually in my team. The dream camera then zoomed in to show who was in my team. Although the characters were distorted, there were a lot of familiar faces; I classified them as “friends from past and present dreams”. They all looked familiar but I can’t recall anymore who they exactly were. Only one character I can recall had a close resemblance to 9-Volt from WarioWare.

      I was giving a further spiel to the British students about the tournament but I forgot what about specifically. I then turned my head away from the team and yelled out to nowhere in the room in particular, “Murray! Can you come and carry me onto the stage?!”. Then I am walking towards the back of the room to meet a human version of Murray that approaches me. He was wearing a plain blue business shirt and jeans and he has short brown spiky hair and thick black frame glasses. He picked me up effortlessly and marched me to the front of the room, placing me on the risen area.

      Once he puts me down, I turn my head back to my team who are still on the lower area, focusing my attention on the British girls to say something to them. I said, “I won’t be asking him again, you see, eventually in life, you’ll be carrying yourself”. The dream ended there.

      This was a really interesting concept at the end of the dream when I was talking to the British girls about how I was going to enter onto the stage. I had a thought during the time of the dream and that the dream guide bringing me onto the stage is like the parent supporting the child financially, legally, etc. And then when I said, "next time, he's not going to bring me on"; that felt like I was mentioning a symbolism of adulthood, where you'd have more responsibilities and your parents would be less involved... Interesting concept.

      Dream No. 400 - Baby Big-Head


      I don’t remember much of this dream. In the first scene, there was someone carrying this Asian baby and he had a gigantic head, bigger than any baby I have seen in the real world. In the second, I was freaked out as I was riding some weird UV lit elevator along with the Incredibles. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

    13. Dream - Nightmarish Coopers & Front Balcony Attack

      by , 08-22-2018 at 07:22 AM
      Date of Dream: FRI 17 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 399 - Separated Sections

      Dream 399 A - Nightmarish Coopers
      I can’t remember much of this dream. From what I can remember, I was interacting with Sly, Bentley and Murray but they were not themselves. It seems as if though they were robotic versions and their eyes were glowing a really bright red, almost like a laser pointer with a really wide diameter. Sly and Bentley were bad but when it got to Murray, he was absolutely horrible.

      His metal parts were squeaking really badly and his mouth was constantly opening and closing as if he wanted to eat me. I was absolutely terrified but it wasn’t enough to force me to wake up… In fact, I forgot what else I did in that scene. I woke up because I had to go to the bathroom.

      Dream 399 B - Front Balcony Attack
      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was on my front balcony and I was tapped into the WiFi on my phone. I was on Facebook and there were so many pictures of WB on there that don’t even exist in real life. I then posted something myself and when I checked back on it again, LB had left a comment but it was a long one and it was strange, because she doesn’t have decent communication standards with me in real life, in fact she says almost nothing and is rather very shy.

      Once I switch the internet off and am looking up from my phone, my mum peers through the window of one of the rooms and then comes to the door, looking straight-faced but at the same time, angry. Then my dad comes and he takes it an inch further, actually coming out onto the balcony, looking really angry and wanting to physically attack me!

      This time, I knew what to do and started calling out for Dreamy WB, there was no immediate response though. Rather, my dad is still being violent and I’m desperately trying to be heard by those that are responsible for placing Dreamy WB upon me. I notice that in this dream, my calls got quicker but still, nothing was happening. Eventually though, these black birds come swooping out of the sky and past the house; they don’t affect my dad though and so I wasn’t sure whether that was Dreamy WB’s doing or not.

      The dream eventually moves on to another scene where I am on some unknown farm property but the sky is grey and the grass is very green, like it had been rained on a lot. There is a stranger man there that I was talking to and I was actually recapping what happened in the previous scene. At the barn nearby, I demonstrated to him what happened.

      I was then on the grass again and was trying to think up a title for the dream. The dream falsely numbered it though as Dream No. 386. The man came next to me and tried to help me think up an ideal title. There was talk by the man, a suggestion of something including “Leading On A Wild Goose Chase”. After that, the dream ended and I woke up.

    14. Dream - This Is Not Familiar School

      by , 08-22-2018 at 06:30 AM
      Date of Dream: WED 15 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 398 - This Is Not Familiar School

      I don’t remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was in a completely unknown area that once again, was all smoky and looked all war-torn. There were all these mini figurines of Luigi doing something but I forgot what exactly; it was something that put them in danger though. Just like the stack form in Mario and Luigi dream team, the Luigi figures had toppled over and were crying out in distress. I managed to rescue them.

      I then looked up and saw some yellowish writing in the sky that I could utilise Dreamy WB as a lifeline three times in this dream. I was still concerned for the safety of all the little Luigi figures and so I called Dreamy WB for help. There was then some invisible activity taking place but I forgot what it was.

      In the next scene, I was once again in an unknown area but it wasn’t the same place. It was now some sort of underground car park and something was happening in there. This time though, I hesitated to call for Dreamy WB as I knew that this was my second time. If I went ahead, I would only have one more time to call her after that. I did end up calling for her in the car park but I forgot what happened.

      I am then at my house and a maths class is taking place there, with Ms Le. being the teacher. The class was talking place in the two bedrooms at the back of the house. When I reached the two bedrooms, Ms Le. told me that I come very late. At first she wasn’t happy but then after a while, we were in the bedroom with no one else in it and she gave me special task to do.

      There was then this weird yellow sheet being given to everyone which was apparently a homeroom task and the title was something like “Preparing you for TAFE”. As I was doing the worksheet, I thought they were the weirdest and dumbest questions I had ever answered. That’s all I can remember for this dream.

    15. Dream - Too Much Homework

      by , 08-22-2018 at 06:25 AM
      Date of Dream: TUE 14 AUG - 2018



      Dream No. 397 - Too Much Homework

      I don’t remember much about this dream. From what I can remember, I was enrolled back in high school but it wasn’t the high school that I attended in real life. This one seemed like a much more prestigious and elite school. The scene went straight to after school and I had received more homework than I have ever come across in one week of my waking life. When I got home, my dad was constantly yelling at me to do it, even though I was already taking the books out of my school bag.

      I am then walking around the house and when I look into my study room, I see a disturbing sight; my dad is flicking through all of my private diaries! At first, I was speechless from shock but eventually, I conjured up the courage to say to him, “How would you feel if I did that with all your work files?”. My dad acted nonchalant about it and tell me he wouldn’t care one bit.

      Then I went into my driveway, still revved up from the discovery that my dad was reading the diaries. I thought to myself, “If nothing else will pry him off, then Dreamy WB will… And she’ll teach him a good lesson to”. So now I was repeatedly calling for Dreamy WB but there was no response for a while. It’s only as the dream is fading out and I’m in the process of waking up that she appears.
