14/2 Part of my dream was me and a group of other athletes sprinting across a huge, super-green grassy field. It was a warm up/training exercise and we were to stay as a group. I knew I could out run them easily but I didn't want to get too tired half way, so I just pulled ahead at the end, where the field started to slop upwards. Our instructor/coach ran ahead of us really fast; being a big guy I was quite impressed. All of us were moving much faster than humanly possible and with relatively little effort. We just cruised at the sprinting pace for well over the normal human 10 second ability.
9/2 - Rating 2/5 - Lost a lot of clarity from leaving these notes too long. S arrived at school and obviously pulled her skirt up just enough that a bandage she had around her upper thigh was showing. People began asking her what happened and this was obviously her desired reaction. I paid little attention to her as I could see why she was flaunting her merely bruised leg (the bruise itself was rather impress). Later, I was pushing someone who was in a wheelchair to a gym. As I got there the guy/brother got out of his chair and began boxing against hit pads. The gym seemed to be the main place he could get up on his own ok. This really big guy was his sparring partner/friend and he was soon getting really pumped up. They took the training outside where the wheelchair guy was telling his friend to, "Come on! Gimme your biggest shot!" because he wanted to push himself and sure enough the big guy started throwing massive punches. I watched on absently, wandering around close by. Something dropped over the end of the wide ramp's stainless steel railing and feeling full of energy I under-barred the railing, dropped down under the ramp and retrieved the (glove?), throwing myself back up the gap quite acrobatically. I noticed the concrete was slightly damp and there was drops of rainwater on the underside of the railing which helped me spin around it with my hands. --Shift-- N, and someone else were sparring off later and D and I were sitting in the sun on the rails; on the other side to my drop down before. D surprised me with news he was going to New York soon; I hadn't/haven't seen him in a while and it came as a sudden change. --Shift-- S came by the grass near the gym's ramp with some school juniors later and was giving them a sort of tour. We spoke for a little bit and then she moved away with her group. She may have gone across a low bridge and we were quite close to a freeway with cars speeding passed all the time. --Shift-- I had just gotten out of a hotel style, indoor pool and was talking to G. She mentioned I had to pack soon for the airport. As I toweled myself off, G made a comment on S's towel not being all that hot/sexy. I replied to the effect that she wasn't really trying to impress anyone so she was fine using a plain, hotel white towel. G seemed to agree and left it alone. --Shift-- Watching a psychics show (like 'One') where contestants tried to prove their psychic powers. As I watched my perspective changed into that of the camera and eventually into a body at the scene. A guy had failed a challenge and was thrown off quite a high bridge inside a dark, cult like building. There was no danger in letting him fall since water was at the bottom, however he was very close to hitting other lower walkways. As a second part to his punishment he also had to do laps. He started off with breaststroke as some friends of mine and I looked down and had a laugh. The contestant looked up, giving a smile from the green lit water and joked along with us.
2/2 - Rating 3/5 Vampire's Know How To Use Alarm Clocks? Vague Matrix style dream. I was a Neo/main character and the crew of our ship had just completed a new chair/jack-in system to test out. Being the hero I was, I volunteered to test it but another big guy said he would go first. The chair was like a dream projection machine for the mind. I had suggested when I was to go I would go in with an explosive strapped to myself as a final suicide/escape method and so the big guy did too. Once activated the spot where the chair had been turned into a 1.5m wide circle of pure, flat, midnight black in the floor of the ship. Kneeling down I could call to the guy inside it and hear him calling back, but it was like he was a very long distance away down a hole. The dream shifted before anyone else went in or came out. In the vampires huge mansion's front hallway there were stairs at one end and the floor was recessed enough to fall into and get trapped in a floor maze. It was obviously built for vampire movement and not with human limitations in mind so I moved around the higher, floor level blocks of marble via teleportation (how else?). I traversed the room in short 'blinking' teleports; one ledge at a time, while the male (I was female at this point) vampire with me was doing something else. He caught up to me with easy vampire speed and we both went out a large glass window to a road. Around here we must have role swapped and I became the male/myself and the female/my sister became the vampire. Walking down the road we came across the train station's little eating area. On one wall was a couple of vending machines and I asked jokingly, "Are they cheaper than Lidcombe?" Which is where my sister goes to university. On closer inspection, there was Solo available for $70!, obviously vending machines had hit an outrageous new high. We ended up at the train station which was on a hill that exists at my old school. There was a 'smoke' train moving slowly passed by the lush, green grass. It was just like a steam train except there was smoke wafting everywhere and creating a dense haze. I knew another more modern train was going to come exactly when my alarm clock would go off at home. I told L I had gotten up early [About 4-4:30 for the earlier Matrix bit] and not turned my alarm off. It would wake everyone up with no one around to stop it fast enough (a concern for me in RL; my heart jumps even when I'm ready for it to start beeping). Being close to my house at the station I told my sister, "You're fast"; since she was a vampire, and she caught my meaning. So my sister walked backwards subtly through the smokey haze in order to get out-of-sight before disappearing insanely fast. I walked away prepared for her to return at any moment but she soon followed me at a normal pace and told me the smoke wasn't thick enough. I suggested a very small shed that was open next to me, but her argument against it was that someone could notice she didn't come back out fast enough. Just at that moment I checked my watch again which I had been doing all dream; each time only looking at the analogue. It was right on the minute as I looked at the hands that I knew my alarm at home would go off. Then my RL alarm clock went off at EXACTLY the correct moment it would have in my dream. --The power of the internal body clock; truly brilliant. --Decided to start rating my dreams.
27/1 - Rating 2/5 I started out as a secret agent for a large corporation. I was driving through a parking lot when something (can't remember now) hit me as strange, causing instant dream recognition. I got out of my car and wanted to look for a license plate of a guy I saw earlier in the dream. My lucidity was weak but I struggled to look at my hands and take more control. I changed my plans and walked up to the nearest parked car. Punching straight through the driver's window I planned on trying to steal the car (even though I already had one handy). Somewhere around here I lost my weak lucidity. It was night time now and just down from where I stopped my car earlier was a group of business people talking. It was a wide alley but poorly lit with a dying yellowed bulb on one wall. P and R came into the crowd and began climbing the furthest wall. I knew they were working to help people escape from this large building (my old primary school building). Normally anyone on the ground would have spotted them climbing up but it seemed only I saw them. They had with them a black rope and a baseball. They secured their rope somehow to the ball and P threw the ball, baseball style, really hard and over the higher up roof. The first throw must have failed and they tried the throw again, rope trailing along behind the ball. I knew this one would make it so I ran around the building and found the baseball on the other side; no rope. It was very dark here and as I picked the ball up, a woman came around behind me and demanded I give her the 'porcelain ball'. I claimed I had no idea what she was on about, although she obviously wanted whatever was in my hand. In the darkness I rolled it up the slop we were on and walked over to the light with her. Smugly claiming ignorance I pushed passed the woman and walked away from the whole event. I remember going somewhere else and the woman kept following me, thinking I still had the baseball with me. The rope the guys had set up appeared to be successful in helping people escape from the facility fast enough not to get caught.
24/1 Was at some alley bookstore buying books. I knew the people who worked/owned the shop. Once was called Love and the other people had all emotion names. I had come down the alley from another shop.
20/1 - Rating 3/5 Martial Arts with the Major Was at P's house with him and his family. The house is not like it is in RL but much larger and very high up from the ground. We were in the top room, a good 4-5 stories up in a forest; who's trees rose way further up than we were. As time had gotten on, my mum dropped by and I drove the two of us to the shops to grab something for dinner. We ended up buying lots of Chinese food. For just the two of us we have about 5 large bags of different dishes. With the packages still warm in my hands and smelling quite tasty we started to leave. On the way out, P's dad said hello and commented that what we had looked pretty good. I gave him the cold shoulder jokingly telling him he wouldn't be getting any from us, and with that we left and the dream changed. I was with a group of people (adult) by the pool. All nice and casual; people slowly drifted off and we eventually had myself, two other guys and Major Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell - watched recently). It seemed we had planned on stay around together as the Major was going to teach me how to fight in a particular martial arts style. Mainly I learned the stance which was: open bodied, shifting the weight from left to right lightly side-to-side, arms up for standard kickboxing punches. When I tried to put my leg forward to punch she told me I was doing it wrong. I needed to take a small step and then bring up my other leg low and deep to put more power into the enemy. Every now and then the Major would say punch or kick and I would have to shadow fight the moves out. My kicks were fine as she didn't say anything about them; they were knee-high blade kicks which looked more badass than in RL. Once I had the basics down, which didn't take long, the Major left and us three guys started talking. One of them used to practice the style a while ago but didn't use it anymore. The other guy was a seasoned fighter having done it for years. He seemed to respect the Major considerably since she was the best according to him. He also spoke to us about the philosophy behind the style and what it aims for in the strokes and movements. ___________ I can still remember the moves and the fluid rolling stance is quite natural. I'm quite impressed with my subconscious for teaching me the basics of a martial arts style - Anyone know of a style that is similar to what I described?
19/1 - Rating 4/5 School Crazed I was at my old primary school with everyone from my year there except older and as I know them now. In the front playground it was all very casual; people wore board shorts and the atmosphere was fun. People were mucking around with foam pool noodles (no water around there though) and similar foam balls that looked quite fun to throw around. Someone got close to losing one of these balls over the fence and one of the teachers who I guess was supervising us told the guys messing around to move away from the fence, everyone crowded around and started throwing all the equipment over onto the street. Then we all ran around and picked it up off the highway intersection. Traffic was getting angry with us but everyone was out of control; running around on the busy road and screaming our heads off. Someone else appeared on the road who was dressed like an American footballer and P ran around behind him. At a full sprint it looked like P was going to tackle him but at the last moment he booted a basketball as hard as he could across the road and into the fence we had started over. At the massive kick and hyper-pumped up situation everyone was cheering and going even more insane through the now completely halted traffic. Another group of guys had gotten a football now and were running in formation, passing it along at super fast speeds over cars. Then the teacher must have seen just how out-of-control everyone had gotten and called out for everyone to stop; we would now do a starring competition. At this news all the students calmed down and piled onto pedestrian islands all around the cars. Everyone immediately paired off with someone to star down. I was standing on the far side of the intersection and started off with R whom normally I wouldn't be happy about but here seemed quite happy to star at her. After beating R everyone that was still in the competition paired off again, this time I went against C. While starring her off too I heard a voice call my name from behind me. I turned to see E sitting with some other of her friends on the ground. "Yo?" I called as I turned, "Hi" responded E since we hadn't/haven't seen each other in a long time. "Oh hey!" I was rather pleased to see her. And that is all I can recall. The adrenaline and frantic frenzy of crazy activity on the highway was really intense and I smile every time I see P kick that ball in my head; just as he would do in RL.
18/1 Just before going to bed I was restructuring my goal dream (what I really want to do when lucid next) and I decided to try to include Alice Cullen in it. Upon deciding this I stopped to think what I would actually ask her if I did meet her in a dream. I figured I would ask mundane things and see what her responses were; I decided upon 'what is your favorite color?' and 'what languages can you speak?'. Then in my dream I met Alice (yatta!) and asked her what her favorite color was. Her response I can't fully remember, however I know it wasn't an actual color. She said something starting with B and ended in a number. All I can think of is Bavarian-113 although I know that's not quite what she said. After a short time more in the dream with Alice I woke up into an FA where I got quite excited that I could remember what Alice had said and wrote it down in my DJ. Then I woke up again later and realized the horrible truth, I couldn't remember . I did get to bring out my subconscious Alice however and she is every bit as pretty in my head as I hoped, so all is not lost .
15/1 ___________ Frag Was pouring orange juice from a large bottle into a smaller rounded, glass jar sort of container. I was there with the Cullens (Twilight) and I remember that the whole scene was an echo of the movie's kitchen scene where the vampires prepare food for Bella. I had to make the choice between straight orange juice and that pine orange juice; I ended up going with the latter. Not for taste I remember but to cancel out something else that was bugging me, like a smell or sound. I don't like orange juice or pine orange juice like that anyway so I might have been trying to choose the lesser of two evils. I might also have been a vampire myself and so my sense of judgment on food could have been a tad off. -Saw the twilight movie that last night (wasn't as good as the books ) ___________ After waking up and falling asleep again I had this dream. Rating - 2/5 Falling to Darkness A new terrorist/criminal organization had gained control over numerous nuclear/high explosive missiles. They could satellite guide them to any location in the world and essentially had the whole of earth at ransom. Not soon after this report came in was America hit for massive casualties and was crippled so much it was pretty much wiped straight out of any defensive strategies that were in the works. Then here in Australia our PM was addressing the nation live from near my house. I went down to where the whole set was going on. It was a big, grassy field, heavily overcast with little drops of rain falling every now and then. The PM was at one end of the field near a tree line. He was quite scared (as were other nations) that we would be next and continued to explain in detail and without sugar coating the facts as to how easily we could be destroyed. At some point in the speech he mentioned the satellite navigation placement of the missiles and I saw from a GoogleMaps style vision a red box over Australia which zoomed in, over and over again until the display was the top of the PM's head. My vision changed back and everyone seemed to look up in dismay. The PM was moved back under the trees/out of sight and this seemed to divert any attack. Soon after the speech ended and I went back home. My family was there and no one wanted to do anything, a lull had befallen the nation and we all lived in fear. Then the ground shook and the power snapped out. Looking outside, everything appeared normal except power had failed; on sunset too the world began to become dark. At the house next door I could here people singing happy birthday and thought of the idiocy of those people. How they didn't seem to know that their country had been attacked and also the irony in singing about how happy a day it was. With the power out, the internet had also fallen (we had some other sort of way to access the internet without using direct electricity) and that was the clincher. No global communication, no electricity; the world descended further and further into anarchy as the hours passed.
11/1 - Rating 4/5 Simple Spy Style Dream began by entering my new boss's office. It was richly laid out with books covering all the walls of the high ceiling room and possibly even candle lit desk. In the center of the room was a huge square gap in the floor through which I could see a research laboratory on the next floor. There were four desks each with a different kind of stone clamped down. The elderly, yet obviously quite powerful, boss of mine said that they were researching ways to tap power out of the elemental stones. My new job for him would be to help with this ongoing research since I was an expert in the field. I got the feeling I would be looking through most of the numerous books on his shelves. This was all rather secretive as by working for this man I knew I was swapping sides and working for the enemy agency. I was essentially a spy. The next day I was on a yacht with people I was being introduced to. It was all fairly casual, there were some kids there and the wife of a man I knew from this new job. The man (who wasn't there) had strikingly blond hair and really loved his wife. After the brief boat trip I ended up in a warehouse with the blond guy's wife and had discovered that she was working for the enemy agency (where I had turned away from). Obviously I had to kill her and did so on the secluded and dimly lit warehouse floor. No one was around and no one knew it was me. Dream shift to my wife's perspective. She/I was in a fruit shop and was becoming very excited over a bizarrely shaped fruit/vegetable. It looked like two small pumpkins or large zucchinis merged together like two tear drops. In the middle of the join was a smiley face, ever so cute, and I bought it on the spot purely because it was so unique. Dream shift back to my secret agent/husband body. I had arrived home to our newly bought house (like we had just moved to the area). It was very large and I began exploring it since this was my first time being inside. It had a lot of wood paneling and just screamed secret doors/rooms. As I walked around, I called out to my wife to ask her if I was making any more money than usual. She responded that I indeed was and rattled off three payments of money, each with a description; the first was turning up to work on time, the second for keep the kids safe and the thirdly saving a boat. Obviously my wife knew nothing about what I was doing for work and so the shifting payments were (not so) cunningly disguised as bonuses. I ended up in my RL bedroom and threw my tie off onto a chair before going back into the house. The huge house was almost perfectly symmetrical including stairs at one end that began at both walls of the living room and curled up passed the corner to meet in the middle of the room and enter into the second floor. It was like a large Mr & Mrs Smith style house. Next day I was back on the yacht, this time with my wife, blond guy from work, his daughter and another female friend. Wife talking to the daughter and said when she was growing up she got a tattoo on her 'little lip, well little lips', which she indicated as her nipples under her loose one piece dress. Upon hearing this I imagined small butterfly tattoos but was not at all put out by her rather sudden comment. The female friend suggest she show the daughter. Everyone was a bit hesitant at first but we two males moved off momentarily for some privacy. While chatter continued I was dropping in a lot of hidden meaning that I directed towards Mr. Blond about his wife and her working for the enemy. He seemed resigned and unhappy about her death because apparently he knew nothing before she died about her work, but he obviously didn't know I killed her because he didn't blame me for anything. Later that night back at our house I went outside with my wife to see the police had turned up. They wanted to get into our basement for evidence, primarily against us. They entered from the street through a metal grill/gate but wife and I went back inside to the duel stair case. In the floor just at the base of the stairs was an outline of a rectangle and I pushed it down to create a continuation of the stairs down into the basement. Somewhere here I took on my wife's perspective again. The basement was all dusty, dark and loaded with cobwebs. The police were at the far wall crowding around rows and rows of old school video tap. They were all movies and cartoons that we had recorded off the TV at some stage. "Now we've got proof" was declared from the leading officer as we were under suspicion of being serial killers (Dexter themed). My husband replied, "Have fun watching cartoons and movies back at the station" to some of the lower ranked officers. Leaving the seemingly foolish police to it, hubby and I walked back to the staircase but on the way I noticed a grate in the floor off to the side of the floor between two large, obscured objects on the room; kind of like being in an old engine room on a boat. The grate top was engraved, green, sewer access looking and rather out of place in the dusty, unused room. Upon expressing my question to my husband he looked at it naturally and replied simply, "Irish house" with a chuckle and I this made perfect sense to me so we continued back into the house.
Over the passed few days my dreams have been blurred and lacking substance. I have noticed sightings of the Cullen family (Twilight) because I have just read the first two books. Interestingly no vampires or supernatural, just the characters, especially Alice who is my favourite.
5/1 - Rating 3/5 Friends With Duff I was at my house, sitting on the fence next to the pool. With me was another friend and Hilary Duff. Me and Hilary were really close friends; it seemed like she and I had know each other since we were kids and the three of us were relaxing, talking and mucking around. I must have checked my phone at some point because I had it out and Hilary grabbed it from me because she wanted to check her email. Fiddling with something in the back similar to a sim card she flicked through my silver phone with ease and I just sat back. The phone was quite futuristic and sleek looking. Then the dream shifted to some time later and I was on an airliner plane, with Hilary and lots of other random people. Something happened and the plane started to lose altitude. I glanced out the window and saw the street that runs adjacent to mine in RL; everything was running slowly and I must have had a puzzled expersion as the street flew by, I declared the name of the street to everyone around me and how it was odd the plane was there. Then the plane kept falling, down a sloping street and eventually hit the asphalt as the road flattened out and came to a coldesac. Right before we hit everyone was standing up, not in fear but wanting to know when we were going to hit. Looking out the front cockpit window I saw my old highschool grounds just as they are in RL and started to get a little histerical, trying to point this odd fact out to everyone. Once the plane stopped and we were outside B came up to me, he must have been on the plane too, and asked why I pointed out the first street before. "I live on the next street, just over there" I pointed. Realising we had somewhere to go a group of people I knew including Hilary walked easily to my house. ____________ There was another segment without Hilary but I seem to have forgotten it
1/1 - Rating 5/5 Fall to Fly Was with two others in an enclosed military style compound, the other two guys they had just blown up two armories that were lined with explosives and pointed to two smoldering craters quite close by. Quite pleased with themselves the pair declared it had been such an easy sabotage so far we should continue to blow more buildings up. Since that was what we were there for we went to the far wall of the compound and found a set of automated doors set into the huge concrete wall. Inside however, it was small and empty. We wanted a room full of more explosives to make our job easier. Standing around talking the automated doors opened and closed several times and after a while it opened and inside was a thin, long missile; just sitting there. With the missile we figured we should see if it would explode and decided to have some fun with it, so we went back through the compound until we were in the back of a large military airplane which contained the whole compound. Through dream logic by throwing the missile out the back of the plane it exploded in the air, about half way to the ground. Excited that it worked all three of us jumped out of the plane after it. We had no parachutes or gear for such a jump but went down like pros; bodies straight and streamline so we could go as fast as possible, in a tight formation. Hurtling toward the ground my mind must have figured that the dream logic wasn't quite right and I got lucid. Now I knew I could just land fine next to the missile we threw the three of us landed neatly on the green grass of a huge field. The odd missile which had exploded was still intact and the other two seemed to think it would still work fine. While they discussed this I RC'ed to make the dream more solid. I put my finger through my palm (which I never do as an RC in RL but always seem to do in dreams), oddly, my finger would go in but not come out the other end; like the inside of my hand was much bigger than it really should have been. Satisfied that it was definitely a dream I called the other two guys and we flew off back to catch up with the plane. Flying was great, I remember being very high and looking down on the endless green fields. About half way through our flight I wondered how long I had been asleep for and my speed dropped dramatically. I quickly reshifted my focus purely to flying and picked up speed again. I looked behind me and the guys were tailing out beside me but we were all pretty relaxed, definitely not as military and uniform as the jump down. We sort of cruised along, arms out, enjoying the scenery. In the end we did get back to the plane and flew into the back, up the loading ramp and planned to explode the missile inside the compound but I woke up.
30/12 - Rating 3/5 -> Epic fun Jumbo Beach Wave Was at a beach with friends. The sand was great and the beach was wide and uncrowded. Soon enough we each grabbed up our bodyboards and went out into the surf for some fun. After catching a few waves and mucking around we went back up to our towels and sat around for abit talking. Then it got really hot so we decided to go in again. The others didn't take boards because they planned on just body surfing but I took mine (which was a bright blue). Once out floating in the water, this insanely massive wave started forming. We were all looking at it going, "Woooo lets GO!" and then jumped into it or tried to ride it. I don't know what happened to everyone else but I was riding it for a while and right back to the beach where it turned and I got the front of my board drilled into the sand under the water. I heard very close by this little kid who hadn't been very far out get smashed against someone (his dad?) but he was ok. After that we all ran back out to get the rest of the set but once a few more massive waves came it died down and the fun broke up.
