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.
29/12 Unsure of the dreams/frags order. _________ Rating 2/5 Kira Krimes Was my first day at my new school and I was walking through town. School didn't start for a while so I wasn't heading there just yet. I was being very careful who saw me and how I acted in public because I knew that I was 'Kira' (Deathnote - Have a notebook that kills by writing a person's name in it). Then a police officer spots me and I start legging it through town, which quickly became nothing like what it should however I still knew my way around. Ending up at the grungy market place at the edge of town I had escaped capture and started doubling back into town. I had considered numerous times throughout my escape to use my notebook to control people into protecting me but figured it would take to long and might get me caught faster. Sitting in a bus shelter waiting to catch the bus to school it turned out I was sitting just outside the police station. Sure enough I was caught and had to sit inside the building watching my bus go passed. I felt kinda bad that I had missed my first day and guess my story would leave a bad first impression. Oddly enough I was given a slap-on-the-wrist and went home. The following day I waited patiently at the same bus stop and wasn't bothered so I supposed the first day I had killed someone or used my powers. Sitting on the bus some of the other students knew who I was and seemed impressed that I had gotten caught up with the authority. _________ Frag I was reading my book, 'Belladonna' and finished a chapter only to discover I was only about a quarter of the way through. I thought (because in RL I am) I was almost finished and had to return the book to the library soon. _________ Visualization/Frag Not quite a dream but had my first real experience with successful visualization some time this morning. My visual rippled like water from black outwards in a circle/iris to reveal a room in front of me. I was looking at a wooden slatted wall, like I was in a hotel lobby. Then the image would fade back the way it had started. I managed this about 3 times and the 3rd time I recognized what I was doing and tried to move my head/vision which broke up the fragile image I had made. Again I plucked up the image getting clearer each time and as it formed I thought about what else was around me and turned my POV down to my right. There was a wooden table against the wall, something you would put a vase and nothing more on. Trying to use tactile sensations to re-enforce the dream/scene I put my hands on the wood and felt around on it. Ran my hands over the drawer's handles, the wood top, the edging and then a candle stub that was on top. Thinking it would be great to light it I picked up a box of matches which had appeared as well. In pulling out a match I felt alone the rough strike zone. I think it took about 3 matches to actually light (the others must have been dodgy/broken) but just as I got the flame to the candle wick I wondered why I needed matches in a dream. Dropping the lit match I flicked my fingers until they caught alight and I used my left index finger (flaming) to light the candle. I then tried to smell the candle; which had gotten bigger and flat in a bowl. Thinking a candle smell would come naturally and distinctly enough but as I moved closer to the candle it blacked out and I couldn't get anything back.
22/12 Only remember two sections of two dreams I had. In the first, I was at tennis coaching and the handle had fallen off my racquet. My coach insisted that I use the handle (which eventually turned into a long metal sort of pipe) to play tennis. After trying to hit the ball with the relatively thin makeshift racquet I got very frustrated and asked why I couldn't just use a spare. I idea of me not using my own property seemed outlandish although it happens all the time in RL. I remember briefly thinking of Cluedo (the murder game) and the classic line, "Did it with the lead pipe". Then I woke up feeling annoyed at my boring and frustrating dream. Going back to sleep, all I remember was talking to my sister about this third eye (complete socket and all) that I had only just noticed on my face; it was roughly where a high eyebrow would be. My sister went on to explain that everyone has extra eyes, she had four eyes (not glasses, but four complete eyes) however they were all synced in the same as the others. She showed me this as she blinked and they all blinked, looking around they all looked to the same place. Feeling enlightened about my new eye I started experimenting with the odd vision I was getting. I image having four eyes would be far less confusing than three which is what I had. My visual perception of things was really wacked out and kind of lope sided. I closed my third eye and could see normal, and closing my two normal eyes with the extra open made everything extremely fuzzy and I put this down to that eye on its own could only see in a 2D way (that doesn't make much sense now). The other thing I remember trying with my extra eye was focusing on something at a distance and seeing double of something close up, you know how it is . Well with the extra eye I got three overlapping images of things which was really bizarre to look at. Why the whole eye thing didn't make me RC I'll never know but the extra sensory perception was rather interesting.
20/12 Been really aiming for more lucids over the passed two days and its starting to pay off. I can't remember what the dream was about this morning, but I remember checking to see if I was dreaming and what do you know, I was! I was in my room then, on my bed just like I had woken up. I think it was a potential FA but I just stuck with the knowing I was asleep. Then in RL I could hear my mum talking somewhere in the house and someone dropped a chair I think making a lot of noise. In an attempt to somehow get away from the very distracting noise and hang on to my moments of lucidity I tried to think of a way out of my dream house. My plan was to jump off my bed and crash through my window. The logic was if my dream body was away from the noise maybe it wouldn't affect me so much. Problem being, the dream scene was so very familiar and what with the overlapping dream/RL I wasn't quite sure it was a dream. I mean, I was pretty sure but didn't want to wake up in a hospital and get asked why I was crashing through my bedroom window. After contemplating this daring window escape for too long the noise got to me and I woke up. On the whole a poor dream, however my reality checks and attention to scenario of late seem to work so thats a plus. Also I have learnt from this that I need to go to sleep earlier so that when in a good dream it won't be 9 in the morning when everyone else is awake making noise.
19/12 Was in my house somewhere and W started to strangle my mum. She was choking and couldn't breathe and I was yelling as loud as I could to get the **** off her. The louder I yelled the louder all the other random people around me got and I could hardly hear myself. I didn't want to hit W and he eventually stopped after I got closer to him. Sitting on the steps in my house I held my mum as she tried to breathe. Then I woke up rather rapidly and lying thinking about my dream, I felt really disgusted and angry with W someone whom is by no means like that in RL, he is quite a friendly guy. Telling myself not to think like that the emotions subsided after a few minutes as I told myself it was only a dream and I was the one who came up with it. Gave me some insight into the idea of, "Waking up on the wrong side of the bed" and letting your emotions change your thinking.
16/12 - Rating 3/5 Woke up and kept falling back to sleep. I chained a dream about 4-7 times over, not sure how many but by the last one I was aware of what I was doing and tried to remember I was slipping into a dream however I forgot. I think I will try to develop this because before I knew about lucidity I would often chain dreams and seem quite good at it. I was at my old primary school library with an accomplice. We carried in black special-ops style bags with us and moved up into the library's gallery/indoor balcony, which isn't actually there and I remember questioning how it managed to fit in. After checking where everyone was, we stood at either end of the overhang's railing and we both pulled out rifles. Getting everyone's attention we rounded them up. I was there to steal/find something but I don't know what. Once we calmed everyone down, we got the class to continue as normal so people looking in wouldn't notice anything strange. I remember pointing my gun at a boy by a window who was trying to communicate with another student outside and telling him with a look, "Don't even try". Then I went over to the librarian's desk and told a girl to get away from the other side fearing she would press some hidden security button. Then R, who was a library monitor in my year there came around the library and toward the open door. I rushed to it and looked busily for the 'Closed' sign. I told her casually no one was here so no one should go in, thus the sign. Agreeing with this logic she walked away and I went back inside, closing the door. Then after a while R came back with the other library monitors, all armed with pistols! They broke down the door, not breaking stride and stormed in shooting my partener down. I quickly hid among the book shelves and watched them fan out. I knew they would find me very quickly and tried to think up a way out. Then I remembered I could teleport (handy) and popped up behind this chubby student. I whipped out my own pistol and aimed it at the girls, using the student as a shield so they wouldn't fire. Then I think I escaped through a window (why not teleport?) from the evil library gunslingers.
14/12 Had to go to work for a week, similar to work experience but I had apparently worked at this office before. I knew the drill from day one of how things happened and when lunch time came I went out to buy something. Finding a little shop a street away I ordered 3 items. A small but fat sort of sandwich which looked very tasty, a roll and a beef sandwich. Why I was getting so much food I don't know but as I was standing in the shop some kids there were talking about me. They knew I had worked around here before but also pointed out I wasn't an adult and were wondering why I wasn't at school. Then the female, early 20's, who was serving me gave me my change. As I started to move away she half fell over, crying and coughing. I walked around the counter and tried to comfort her, tried to give her a hug. But she resisted slightly and I backed off. I felt like I knew her and really wanted to comfort the woman but still coughing weakly she put a hand to my chest and pushed me away slightly. Still feeling worried about her I took my lunch hesitantly and went back to the office. The office I worked at was on a mini campus of buildings that looked like it could have been in a cemetery and my building was at the very far end, half sunk into the ground. --I felt older in the dream, like I was in a teen body but felt really empowered and strong.
13/12 Woke up and was told by M that I needed to get ready for tennis this morning. As I usually do I stayed in bed a little while longer. Upon waking up for real the next time I got a huge scare thinking I had overslept and missed the match, however today is my day off so everything is fine
8/12 - Rating 3/5 Donuts & Electrocution Must have been a very long dream because I remember a lot but also know I've forgotten a lot as well. I was walking down a city street with my family, like a family outing. Looking up above a large series of buildings on the next street we could see a really big donuts logo, (much like the Simpsons' pink donuts). All over town this new donuts chain had apparently just opened so the family decided it would be nice to try it out. Walking down the street, left then two rights we came down a very straight, long street at roughly midday. The street we were following turned off but we kept going in under a big overhang much like a mall pedestrian area. Then we were sitting at a table in this shaded, plaza area but instead of eating donuts we had a cake. It was rather large and seemed to be almost a giant donut. The pieces we cut off, for the five of us, were huge as well and there was an extra one. I compared my piece to the extra and found my current one was half the size, so everyone agreed I would get the extra. My piece was about 7cm in diameter and 20-25cm around the edge, which now that I think about it would make an impossibly sized cake since we all got such huge pieces. At this point the dream shifted to a TV show, in the Simpsons' style of animation and my POV was the camera. The show was very similar in theme to Thank God Your Here. The scene was a morning host talk style setup and there were two actors who had been thrown in. They both sat in chairs next to one another. The guy on the right had a plush leather seat and the guy on the left a holiday deckchair but both seemed quite comfortable. The leather chair guy answered his first question well and then got up to move around the set. The next question was for Mr Deckchair but he stalled for time by trying out the leather seat because he couldn't come up with anything. As he swapped seats he jumped at a static shock and joking went back to his own seat lest something worse happen, this was all spontaneous and the audience who were in the dark watching were laughing. After about two more questions the guy had a reason of some sort to switch chairs again but this time he sat down and was completely electrocuted. I saw him spasm around as the chair shocked him for some time and then his body began to break up and splatter blood around as his body slumped to the stage floor. Everyone seemed quite worried but kept the show going despite the dead body on the floor. More pressing questions were directed to the next actor who seemed quite freaked out at everything that was happening. He began to back up to the chairs, stood up on them and pressed his back to the wall. Everyone on stage was slowly stepping closer and he was trying to pull himself away in fright, eventually started screaming. As they got really close he pulled his arms up along the wall and managed to get both hands onto two separate power points. As you can guess he got electrocuted something severe as well, worse than the first guy. Blood and limbs were thrown all around the set and the audience became fair more distressed now that both actors had died through freak electrocution. Then a Lisa (Simpson) style show host stepped into the camera and said something like "And that concludes our Halloween special" and everyone began to clap as they realized the deaths were all staged. The host then began to pour more blood around the stage as credits were rolling and the camera (POV) did a zoom out over the audience.
6/12 Brief recall from this morning. I owned a railway company and found that one of my stations had heaps of CocoPops and another station further down the line would pay heaps for them. I got right onto setting up a new train to make the delivery but things kept getting in the way; I think it broke down at one point.
Did have a school related dream but not what I'm waiting for. 3/12 Vague recall. Girl I imagine I met from school yesterday, no name though, called me and said we should meet up sometime. I agreed because I really felt like seeing her and she said we should go to OfficeWorks sometime which seemed a bit odd to me at the time but not too strange for a catchup/chat. Then I was ontop of a really high building in the middle of a city. The edge was all fenced off like some schools in Japan have. There were numerous other school students around, seemed like lunch time. Then I started playing a game with friends from another school that was across the road, ontop of the next building just like us. We were too high to see the road but it was obviously down there somewhere. We had a ball, could have been a soccer ball, and I booted it over our fence and onto their rooftop. My building was slightly higher so they had a harder time getting it back up but it was obvious we did this a lot. It was also very apparent to me that on such big kicks a minor mistake would lose us the ball and probably do some damage if it fell to the street way below. But we kept playing and it was all going good until another guy near me picked up the ball. M who is a person from my old school who is really annoying, tried to be cool and throw the ball across the vast gap, backwards over his head. Obviously he failed hard and it fell very short. Then a guy who was sitting casually ontop of the fence jumped off. My POV changed to his and I saw him fall, essentially BASE jump down the side of the building, to catch up with the falling ball. On his back were wings he had folded back into a streamline position. So his ability to fly made him the ball catcher but I never did see if he caught it or not because I was really angry at M for losing the ball in the first place and woke up.
Expecting a dream about my new school again soon, especially tonight since I had orientation there today!
1/12 - Rating 3/5 Mech on a Mission Lots of fragments from the one dream this morning. Involved my sister and oldest cousin watching TV/anime with me fairly casually. Then there was a zoids style robot attacking our base which was movable, like the hovercargo in the show (Zoids - Zero Century). So we started shooting back with our front mounted cannons but we knew we wouldn't hold out much longer. So Bit Cloud, who was my POV, got into his zoid to go out and fight. Now normally he pilots a lygar (lion tiger) but in my dream he had a red/blue hightech sports car that was loaded inside a trailer like Naomi's. He/I got in and the floor of the trailer slide out and down so I could gun it out onto the road we were fighting on. The car was fast, really fast. I easily got ahead to where the raiders were firing at us from and engaged the enemy by transforming the car (transformers style) into a big suit of armor which I piloted. Now being the Bit Cloud character I was naturally an excellent pilot and quickly got the enemy down to just the leader. We started flying really fast down a huge highway and I got ahead of him. Then slid up the barrier wall like a half pipe and distracted him from the base which got passed us. As we continued fighting a female voice came over my computer system saying something about if the hovercargo got more than 100m away from the enemy I would automatically win. So knowing this I kept the attacking robot from passing me and won what I guess turned into an Armored Core mission. Before the fight and perhaps before I was watching TV, I remember going out to buy some better parts for my mech. I specifically remember buying a torso upgrade.
28/11 - Rating 1/5 Shirt Seeker Was outside my old primary school year 6 classroom with E a girl from my year back then. We had been standing just talking and hanging out, there didn't seem to be anyone around or any classes going on so there was no rush to be anywhere. Then I wanted to go somewhere or impress E with something but I needed my shirt first; which I noticed I oddly enough wasn't wearing. Instead of a collared school shirt I just had a grey t-shirt like you normally would wear under nether a shirt. I didn't mind what I was wearing (trousers as well) but I just needed to get my shirt before I left the school. So I went down and outside the school building and started searching for my missing shirt but I had no idea where it was. Walking towards the sports garage I saw my high school PE teacher and started running to him to ask if he had seen my shirt. As I called out, he said no but he needed help finding his young daughter which I promptly agreed to help with. With the change in my search I sped up my run to a sprint and parkoured it up the wall on my left and over a railing toward the hall. Outside the hall were a huge collection of people walking around and chatting at tables that had been setup like at a BBQ. Just next to the hall's doors I found the daughter who was sitting in a highchair and was about 3-4 years old. Being careful not to be seen by her (dunno why) I moved around her and then down some stairs to meet her dad and indicate very quietly where she was. Seemed as if she knew we were coming she would somehow escape. Now I was about to continue seeking my shirt when a random guy from the crowd of people all around pulled out a pistol and told everyone to stop and not try anything. No one seemed too threatened but knew if we strayed too far from the man we would be in danger. So I walked into the hall where rows of green plastic chairs had been set out in front of the stage and people were sitting all around. Another gunman popped up with his pistol and stopped us all again. I was getting sick of them threatening us and really wanted to find my shirt, so I grabbed a metal poll from somewhere and tried to sneak up on the hall's gunman. Twice I was getting close to clobbering him on the head but each time he would turn a little and I would turn away and pretend to be doing something else. In the end I didn't get to beat either gunman up or find my missing shirt; if only I knew why I needed it... And didn't get to catch up with E again either because somewhere in my failing to knock out the gunners I got really frustrated and the dream ended.
