The dream begins in an animated style, borrowing from the Arthur cartoons on PBS. Arthur has just moved to a new city and joined a swim team, but he just lost his swim shoes in the water filtration system. A maintenance man digs for them in the machinery, but he just can't find them. Arthur runs from the swim club in anger, exclaiming that "It's only been four days!" since he moved into the town. As he leaves, the dream switches into live action and first-person, and I view a large and bustling cityscape. Streetcars full of people pass by; along their tops are emblazoned the names of famous authors (Marcel Proust, for example) and my friends (text, so YET ANOTHER failed RC). I excitedly hit the streets and head to a nearby cafe. When I stand in line, however, I realize that all the signs are in a foreign script and all the patrons speaking a foreign tongue. Unnerved, I head back onto the street, and in a daze wander to a market. A smog descends on the dream, and I recall exotic (but pleasant) smells from the stalls and headscarf-clad shoppers. Luckily, I find my mom also in the market. She clarifies that I'm in the country of Turkey and reunites me with my brother and dad. She also seems to have an excellent grasp of Islamic law, for as we're about to enter a shop where we can see women, she holds us back and goes in first to make sure it's alright. She encourages the family to "act Canadian" and respect their customs (a behavior not at all like real life).

I'm waiting for my brother to pick me up at home and take me to the mall. He's running late, so I go downstairs and fire up my computer. It has a projected user interface, as in Jarvis from the Iron Man movie, and a very large high-def monitor. I start to browse Wikipedia (text, so failed RC), looking up Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and from there link to an obscure Japanese game that takes place in the Kingdom Hearts universe. It download it and proceed to play. The only relationship to Kingdom Hearts is the use of the Gummi Ship. This vehicle is presented in top-down perspective, scrolling in a traditional manner as in Galaga or Galaxian. The enemies follow colored tracks along with a soundtrack, as in Audiosurf, and special flight maneuvers are also order with the music as in DJ Hero. The interface is intuitive and the gameplay frantic enough to keep me engaged for several rounds, and I start to reconsider going to the mall at all.
Curled up for a nap, mostly just trying to work on better dream recall and making myself write them down - and being more attentive to my dreams. Cat curled up with me, and when I kept starting to feel myself doze, of course she would rub on my hand for attention, waking me back up....so eventually I just gave up my usual mantra of "I am going to sleep. I am going to dream. I am going to remember my dreams," and rolled over to take a real nap. I am in my old house in New York, the 2 story one. I am on a cell phone with my father...which should have clued me in that I was dreaming, as we didn't have cell phones when I lived there. I remember trying to convince him of something, while my step-mother and boyfriend are running around the house, moving things. For some reason she was trying to put a set of drawers inside another one, and pad it with blankets. She was being very high strung, which is par for the course, and I was trying to relate this to my father. When I would talk, he said he was having a hard time hearing me, and I spent most of the dream frustrated with trying to convey the situation over the phone. At one point, I became convinced that he was not paying attention, and apparently thought that whistling through a straw at the phone would fix that... Thankfully, my alarm woke me up from this nonsensical dream to go on with the evening.
June 21 2010 This first one is a bit hazy since I remembered it while showering and didn't record it. It consisted of me, Jessica Alba, and one other person. We were in some dark industrial looking room and we had to do a bunch of acrobatic stunts in order to get out of the room, like I had to flip off this platform and do a handstand on this bar connected to the door to drag the door down and then somebody else would hop over and pull me up. At some point Jessica started to talk to me about how she simply told another actress while on the set that she was going to ass fuck her. And I was like oh wow ok, and she went in detail even gave me a vision of how she did it, but the whole time i wasn't in the vision, i was still conscious of my surroundings. And I think that dream gave influence to this one, it was late at night, and I was sitting in my living room watching TV a show about the " Top Insert Number Here Sexiest Women in TV". So cool, I watch that for a while until my brother comes in and starts to ask me what im watching so i tell him and when he asks the channel I give him that too, but I was uncomfortable with the whole thing and just wanted him to go back to bed. I turn the program off after my whole family ends up waking up and walking around, and my little bro ends up telling my parents I was watching that. I remember going into the kitchen and looking into the fridge and the pantry and seeing yogurt everywhere, and I was like wow we have a lot of yogurt. Skips to me telling my mom and brothers good bye as they drive away to go do something and my Dad is bitching at my bro about how he always leaves half empty yogurts all over the house and i end up throwing a spoon on the ground out of anger lol. Me and my dad go back inside and we tell each other good night and I go back to watching my show. I was in this grassy clearing, flat where I was standing but off in the distance it was hilly and bright, with a body of water stuck somewhere in between the lands curves. There were two males in front of me, whos faces and voices I cannot recall. They had long bamboo like sticks much like mine and I was engaged in combat with them, for training purposes. One was much better than me, and also much older and wiser, the other still a student but had more experience than me. We went on exchanging blows, I held up pretty well, I even broke the students weapon at one point and it fell on me. After a while everything transformed, the people around me into my friends, and the environment as well. It got darker and I perceived myself with my friends in a neighborhood. We were looking through a fence that consisted of vertical square black metal bars and we were on a hill looking through it at a culdesac where my friend Dylan was setting off fireworks. And we were trying to communicate with him, but he couldn't hear us, his dad drove away on a motorcycle(wasn't aware of him before his departure) and he began to set off more fireworks. We keep trying to yell at him to tell him to save some for us, and this kid I hate was with us in that moment said "Ya save the fireworks!" and I was like "aw fuck" in my head.
I had three dreams that I remembered last night. It took me a while to get to a place to write though, so I only have one for in here. I was playing basketball with my friend Kayla from elementary and high school. We were on the roof of a building. There was a bunch of basket ball courts. All the basketball courts were separated by this sturdy see through netting. It also went around the roof. I think it was so the ball didn't go off the roof.
22.06.2010Last Day of School (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Oh boy, here we go with the still in school dreams again. lol. I was in school. It was the last day of school. I was hanging out with my friend Brandon. I remember him laughing his ass off at something, but I don't remember what. That's all I remember. I have a better chance of getting lucid dreams again now because I'm having dreams where I'm still in school.
*this dream was when we went to help my friend with nightmares* *** [I]astral dream[/I] Raven and I are on the Moon. She is meditating by the koi pond. I see dark and light energy spinning through her in circles. She is chanting something, no, singing. Her soul is singing something... [I]Peace in the darkness Peace in the daylight I am a piece of light I am a piece of night dark and light flow... flow through me flow like rain, like rivers, like currents, like steam flow like snow, like clouds, like ice, like steam...[/I] Raven? Oh, hi, Nomad. I was just working on getting this dark energy under control. I am getting better. We are going to your friend to help her with nightmares, correct? Yes. Alright, then. You open the portal. Ok. I open a portal to Earth in the astral plane. We are in A's bedroom. She's asleep. There is a tormented look on her face. There is an astral demon crouched over her. It looks like a mixture of shadow and ice. It breathes icy blue breath over her face. "Sleep, child, o, sleep and dream. Dream of me, dream of death and pain. Writhe like snakes burning in the sun, writhe like foolish maggots in the mouth of the sparrow." Raven and I morph into our Shadow Beast Selves. We are huge dark jaguars, more like African lions, or Siberian tigers. I smack its head with my paw. I break its jaw. It turns its head to me, and its eyes glow red. It puts its jaw back in place, and begins to say something, but Raven is on its back, biting into its neck. She is drawing the demon's dark energy into her. The demon starts to wither like a leaf drying in the sun. "No, get this bitch..." I laugh, and drive my fist into its face, then grab its head and twist until I feel its neck break. My hidden blade slices into its brain. Before it shrivels into a helpless state, it hits a button on some kind of bracelet. It seems strange, a demon with an electronic device. Government Remote Viewers appear riding broomsticks out of many portals. What the fuck? "We are the Witch Corps, you fucking idiot. We have been recruited from many covens across the globe to work for The Masters." "And why are you telling me this?" "Because no one will believe you if you repeat this information, fool." I motion to one of them to come close so I can whisper in his ear. "[B]FUCK YOU!"[/B] I scream in his ear, and his face melts. I roar at the spooks, and ripple the fabric of time and space. Raven multiplies, and teleports all over the place, slitting their throats from behind, and tossing their heads into portals leading into randomness. The fight is over quickly. A stirs. Raven is singing over her, caressing her head maternally. A sits up. "What? Who are you? Get out of my room!" "We are friends. I am your friend, Nate. You are dreaming." I turn into my physical self. "Nate? Nate?" she squints. I play my didjeridoo, and she calms down. Raven summons a golden orb which lights up the room. "Ah, that's very pleasant. I feel peaceful. I thought you two were demons coming to haunt me again." "No, we just kicked their ass, actually." "Oh!' "There were a lot. One demon, actually, the rest, humans." "Really, and why were they here to attack lil' ol' me?" "Because you are the Witch Queen, apparently. I have it all here, on this little memory card I stole from the demon's bracelet, before Raven turned him into a withered husk." "I am the Witch Queen? What does that mean?" "Well, you see, we all have different, uh... personas, selves, something like the god aspect of us... something like the buddha within us all, but the more specific god-aspect. See, Raven is the Queen of Night, Angel is the Queen of Twilight, I am the god of Nothing, and you're the Witch Queen. So, they want you for your power, A." "My head's beginning to swim. I don't..." "Nomad, leave the poor girl alone! You're overwhelming her!" "I just want to sleep." "Okay. Let your astral body rest. We'll protect you tonight, and as much as we can in the future." "My astral body? What?" "Sh." "Can I have a glass of milk?" "Sure." I summon a glass of milk, and give it to A. She drinks a little and goes back to sleep. I morph her bed into a cloud. She closes her eyes, and a little smile appears on her face. Raven makes golden energy come down like soft rain. "Raven, I feel we are getting sucked into a dream!" "I am not. You are. Stay here!" "Ulp! What the hell is happening?" "Nomad! Stabilize! Look at your hands! Count or something. Focus on my face!" The dream smears... I am in a Black Void. I somehow feel as if I am on trial. I hear a voice. [I]You fool. You think you are some kind of hero? HA! Some kind of god? You puny mortal. I rule this world, this plane![/I] Then, I begin to see things as my eyes get adjusted to the light. I am being held by two strange monkey-demons. There is some kind of minotaur demon before me. I feel like I have been drugged. "What is this? Some kind of lame excuse for Hell?" "Silence mortal!" "Fuck you... this is my dream!" "No, it's not. You have no powers here. You cannot even wake up. And yes, this is Hell. We are torturing you and the ones you love in many different dimensions, simultaneously. LOOK INTO THE WINDOWS!" Devices are strapped to my eyeballs to force them open. I see through windows of myself and my loved ones going through all manner of hideous torture. I scream, but no breath comes out. "You can't breathe here, either. You can't do a reality check, now. This is not a dream. This is all real." I hear Vegeta's voice in my brain. "Do not give in to the illusion! You can use illusory magic. Now recognize it!" I feel a dark crimson rage burning from the center of my brain, and expanding outward. I am engulfed by red flame. I morph into Shadow Self, Beast Self, and Demon Self, all in one. I break free of the demons holding me. There is something on the back of my head. I rip it off, and slam it on the ground. A long tail comes out of my head. It looks like a small sting ray. I smash it. "You see, it's an illusion inducing parasite." I hear Vegeta's voice again. I am back in the Black Void. "The Red Witch Queen has always been ours, is ours now, and will be ours forever. We will leach her power into our souls for all eternity." The same dark voice says. Silvery astral tentacles snake through the void to me. A portal opens, and an arm comes out. I recognize it as Raven's. I grab her hand, and she yanks me through. We ride through the wormhole on a Wormhole Wyrm. We battle strange parasites on our way back to the Moon. We land. "Alright," Raven says. "We need to heal and armor up, then go into her Inner World." "Let's do it!" I say, cracking my knuckles. We do mutual healing, then I open a portal to her Inner World. It looks like a pleasant Northern European countryside. There is a dense forest growing on the plain creeping up to a mountain. There! A castle in the distance. There is a dark aura around it. *** [I]missing time[/I] We are in the castle. I am the Witch Queen! The Witch Queen is wearing a long red dress, sitting on a stone throne. She has long red antlers. She will not tolerate misbehavior. She winks at me playfully. A shadow creature comes out of a portal, and tackles her, taking her into another portal. I follow the creature. Raven says, "No wait!" We are on a bombed out landscape. The Witch Queen is on a cliff, with the shadow creature. He is telling her it's all her fault. She turns into a normal human, and weeps. Raven appears. She tosses an imp into a portal. Raven turns into a werebeast and tackles the shadow creature. They tumble to the plains below, battling in the air as they fall. The creature shoots a black astral tentacle at the sky, opening a portal. I create a sphere of protection around the Witch Queen as hordes of shadow creatures like bats and locusts come pouring out of the portal. "Get her out of here!" Raven yells. I wrap my arms around her, and teleport her to the Biodome on the Moon. Tigress says, "What took you so long?" I am confused. "You were going to bring back samples of dark energy beings for us to analyze." Tigress telekinetically removes dark bug things from The Witch Queen and I and puts them in glass jars. She hands them to Washu, who takes them away. Raven tumbles out of a portal. The creature pokes its head through, but Raven charges a fist with lightning, and punches it in the face, knocking it back. Raven's eyes are crimson. She has dark energy. "Don't worry, Nomad, I have it under... CON-trol. I'm fine." She breathes. "Alright, let's heal your friend." She's already asleep in the grass in the Glen of Healing. We use music magic to heal her. Others join us: MoSh, Basara, Michael. "Well, it's going to take a long time for us to defeat all these nightmare bastards, but I think it's going to be a good quest," Raven says. "Do you think she's willing to learn to control her dreams?" "I think so, I hope so."
Well, after a year, I'm finally back on DV. I just transfered my DJ over to the new system. I like the new system a lot it was a much needed update. While I was away, I had my first LD this winter, and this is how it went: I was driving my car to my aunt and uncle's house in Duluth, and I parked outside their house. This kid starts sneeking around my car so I pull an airsoft gun on him and he runs. My car then proceeded to disappear so I started to walk to Grand Ave. As I walked down grand in Mid-Afternoon, The entire scenery changed into a room with a mud floor, and my grandma standing there in a green blouse. At that moment I realized I was dreaming, and I became extremely excited. I had trouble controlling myself for a minute, but then I closed my eyes and became relaxed. I had to test it to be sure, so I closed my eyes and tried to change the color of my grandma's shirt to brown, and it worked. I talked to her for a few seconds about my cousins, and then I woke up in my bed. I checked for a false awakening, but alas, it was real.
frag I am with Kalani on a cigarette boat at night. I look up at the Moon. Another moon flies up next to the first Moon. "Dude, this Moon is telling us we are dreaming!" The Moons morph into a shape something like white glowing bats. The night sky ripples like water. I take off flying. I start flying to the Moon. [I]This is going to take too long. I should teleport.[/I] I try to teleport. For some reason, I say, "BV-V-V-V-T!" Fail. Open a portal! Fail. I try to teleport the boat. Fail. I fly to chase it, but it eludes me. Frustration wakes me up.
I really don't have much to say... I don't know what's going on. I don't know if I'm just not dreaming or if there's a problem with my recall, but I'm getting really frustrated. I don't think I'll be posting until this dry spell is over. Sorry to anyone who reads this, but I'm gone until further notice. -Ryan
The last couple nights I haven't had anything to record. I haven't really slept well since I just had some oral surgery done. So, hopefully I will start logging again soon.
Wow! My dream journal is acctually becoming a chore, because I'm startiong to remember so much they're becoming short stories. #1 This dream I don't remember a lot about. There were just a bunch of weird alien symbols that kept changing colors in front of my face. #2 My next dream took place over a weeks time, but I didn't live through all of the details. I brought my sister to cheer camp, and staayed for a little while to watch the opening show. Jerry Seinfeld walked out and started making fun of me so I left. Then at the end of the week Jerry had become transexual with flowing white hair and blue eye shadow. It was weird. Then he transformed back to himself and we talked for awhile and shook hands. Then he came with us in our family car. Then I woke up. #3 I'm not going into all of the details, but in short I was showing my friends from California around town.
I had a really good couple of dreams last night. One was long and really vivid. It seems that my dreams have been increasing in length ever since I joined dv. #1 Not very exciting. I was browsing iTunes in my dream and it made me take a quiz. I was hanging out around my house a few weeks later and a group assembled in some kind of cement room, and these machines gave us our results. My ex-girlfriend and I both recieved news that we had under-developed brains. This had me kind of upset. Then I woke up. #2 This next dream took place over the course of two days! I couldn't believe it when I woke up. It seemed like two day and I had only ben sleeping for a few hours. Well, to start off my dream I was at an airport with a group of student ambassadors I traveled with 3 years ago. This time we were headed to a tropical place like Key West or something like that. The plane took off at 12:00 A.M. So I slept through the red eye, and we landed at about 5:00 A.M. their time. we got off the plane and were walking through this outdoor shopping district with palm trees and a nice breeze. We walked over to the cruise terminal, and I started to mingle with some old friends. As we bored this old iron boat I saw some kids from my school in the group. I don't usually hang out with these kids, but I figured I should at least say hi. I walked with them for a while until a girl I used to like was around the next corner. I sat with her for awhile until I heard that the ship was leaving. I forgot my bag so I ranto my bags and got back on. Then I saw my best friend was in the same predicament we got back on and we didn't know where to put our things. So we stuffed them in this electical panel that read, "THE LARGEST BOAT ON EARTH - 1940." I was really surprised by that, and then we left to walk around the ship. We walked back to the outdoor mall ,and then we got into some trouble. we popped a circuit by putting our bags on the electric panel, and there was some rumbling on the ship. They took care of it, and we were off. I sat next to my friends from school and we watched this video as we put on life jackets. This boat moved at the same sppeds as a spped boat, and we watched the metal flex as they made tight turns in the movie. We saw them go through the panama canal at nuheard of speed. and then portage the boat through the last leg, because the canal had dried up. Then I woke up. Not a bad night at all!
Last night I had one really long and extremely vivid dream that I can remember. I would consider this a successful night just because this dream was so long. My dream started off with me watching a varsity hockey game at my school. As the game got into the tenth minute of the second period the goalie got hurt. The coaches then called me down to the teams box. I tried to explain to the coaches that the last time I had ever played a game of hockey was in 4th grade, but they didn't care. I was in as the goalie. I did surprisingly well for playing varsity. So we won our first playoff game. I went home then and ate some dinner and hung out around the house watching myself on our school's T.V. station. The next day I went to the arena for round 2, but they said they didn't need me, because it was J.V. I watched their game, and my friend Steve was their goallie. The nets however were the size of soccer nets in J.V. So my friend was doing backflips and kicking above his head to make the saves, but from what I saw no one ever scored on him! Well, I'm really happy with my progress in recollection, and I'm going to keep doing what I have been. Here's to more successful recollections!
I actually had some dreams last night since I put my mind to it. I also have discovered a dream sign. A lot of times when I dream someone will talk to me and expect a response, but I become completely speechless and don't say anything at all. For example; Last night I had a dream where my best friends mom called my house. I answer and say, "Hello?" My friend's mom replies with, "Hi Ryan! Is your mom there?" at this point I become speechless and don't reply. In my second dream last night I was flying a helicopter, but that is really irrelevant. Anyway, I think this could be a possible dream sign. I experience this in different settings and different dreams quite often. I just need to recognize it, and I think this could be an excellent way to become lucid. Another successful night!
