Many vivid scenes throughout the night + boy scout UL campsite, I'm choosing my spot, I "remember" my place, it's a bit away from the others, I think it may be a bit too close too a footpath. + with kids, they're "dressed" up in "costumes" on their faces consisting of colored (rice? noodles?) that makes it look like they have no skin. I think these would make good halloween costumes. +(f) (vague, impression) outside, merry-go-round? + (vivid) walking up pathway towards building: large white curving building, all residents moved out [DR from "Suits"], about 10 stories tall, about 4x wider than tall. People climbing stairway on right side of building, go in, room full of equipment + (vivid) crazy advanced fast line printer with full-page "print head", watching its operation for a long time in the computer center, guy and gal operator. It prints entire pages with one strike of the print head. The printed patterns are very dense and black and organized. Once there is a page of "random" characters printed. The gal says at one time there was a page with just one letter on it. + on phone with boss, standing in doorway looking out to front yard, young boys are playing a football game there, I say that half our workforce is there outside, at one point I see the ball fly up into the air and I shout "WHOA! FUMBLE!" The boss is there with me and he's saying that the work must be finished immediately [DR, "Suits"], I don't want to work because it's Sunday I know. I say the work could easily be finished Monday or Tuesday + (vivid) CA adult home, lying in bed with master bedroom, (with college ex-gf?), the "detached vagina" which is formed from wiping your face and its lips are formed from your eyelids (!?), it's quite strange I look at it time and again many times. Get up and look into walk-in closet, and I see that it has the same floor tiles as my CH bathroom. I "turn on the shower" in the closet then enter the master bathroom. I see that it has gotten a bit grungy since the time we remodeled in before we sold it. I go into the large shower stall and press on the tiles in the wall. I feel one that is loose and I press it a bit more and it pushes several inches into the wall, I look at this. Then I press on the other tiles on the wall trying to find more loose ones but they're all solid. + (vivid) with wife in "new home", on (external, open) stairway walking quietly, surprise her with her nickname, notice many individual chunks of wood burning in various fire places, in the kitchen, outside in the patio, I think they've all been started by my wife with fire-starter liquid
I'm indoors in some slightly dark building. I am with VWP people as I know someone there even though others are different (this person was slightly notable). the instructors are dif as well and I remember little. The rooms all have an abandoned/haunted feel despite being clean and sterile in appearance. We are doing a series of exercises I cannot recall well. I remember someone from crew being there to talk to me during one part. He was a particularly social member IWL. The director of VWP was there but played a role I cannot recall. At the end of the series is a game where the objective is to find out if the audio is clipping. I knew from certain waveform patterns (FM8) what it looked like but I checked out the modern-looking interface anyway. This was the last of the dream.
First dream It was night. I was wandering around my backyard, watching the night sky. There were colorful shooting starts traversing it. I found a chair in the middle of the backyard and went closer. Then one of shooting stars came closer to me and I realized that it was alien spaceship. Second dream It was cloudy, cold morning. With siblings I was playing a strange card game. We used the ordinary cards deck, part of the game was throwing cards against other players, them grouping half of your deck and revealing it when everyone was ready to do so. We were also drinking some strong alcohols during cards session.
08-21-16 Long DILD: High lights: Brain fought me a little after climbing around an industrial building. Summoned a women and she acts reluctant and turns saying her shirt is snagged on something. Don't care it will come off anyways. I pull her entire shirt up and she is topless and free. I get her positioned on her knees facing me. She morphs to a much to young girl. No, brain, you are not going to derail this. Focus, I don't believe she changed. She is now adult again and does what I imagine. Feels real, but starts to destabilize the dream. I reduce the inputs down to trying to read the name of a drug from a bottle. I can get it to say IBU and that is stable. Things come back and I float up away from the woman. I explore some more and notice the images include a reflection in shiny tin duct work. I find reflections to be an interesting addition and very high tech. I stop and try to get a good look at my own reflection. As the reflected me comes into focus I see it is moving around independent of my actions. It comes forward and starts laughing at me like The Joker. Very cool moment.
Had a dream last night that i was chillin with 2 people from highschool and it felt exciting.
This is from the book "Adventures of the Soul" Journeys Through the Physical & Spiritual Dimensions, by James Van Praagh: (These meditations are best used by recording yourself reading the following meditations into a recorder, such as the one that already exists on your iPhone. You insert your own personal information & then you play it back for yourself. Remember to leave yourself some pauses where they apply so you can reflect on each section. Feel free to change things up to reflect your own beliefs & goals etc.) Your Souls Sanctuary Imagine yourself sitting in an ornate gold chair that has a red velvet cushion. You are alone in a room complete & utter beauty, & soft sunlight is shining in the windows. A fire is burning in the fireplace, & it warms the room. The walls are made of stone that seems to shimmer, & when you look up, you can barely see the ceiling. There are several large oil paintings in the room, & you recognize them as significant locations from your life. Walk around the room & take a long look at each painting. How does each location make you feel? Try & remember a cheerful time at each place. Lining the walls of this room are shelves, & they all contain framed photographs of you. Look closely at each photograph & acknowledge what age you are & who is in the photo with your. Each photograph makes you happy. The shelves also contain mementos of your life that you have cherished. Pick each one up & remember how important it was in your life. A flood of memories comes to you as you hold each each object. One shelf holds several leather-bound books. Take a look at each title slowly. The titles are the different lessons that your soul has chosen to learn. Reflect on how you are performing each lesson. Choose one of the books & carry it with you back to your golden chair. Open the book &, one page at a time, look at the photos inside. How old are you in the photo & who are you with? Are the photos telling you a story? What are you learning from the story? There is no judgment in this; you are merely looking & assessing. When you feel that you understand what the book is telling you, gently close it & hold it to your chest. Look around the room & take it all in. Feel the love that the room is giving to you. The room loves to have you here. There is no hurry; you may stay in this room as long as you'd like. This your home. When you feel that it is time to go, take a few deep breaths. In your mind's eye, envision your meditation space back in the human world & see yourself sitting in that space. Take the love you feel in the sanctuary & fill your meditation space with it. Slowly become aware of your consciousness in the meditation space. Take a few deep breaths & slowly open your eyes. I really enjoyed this. I hope you will too. Please leave comments about your experiences with this exercise. I'd recommend reading the book too, which is real enlightening.
D1: Apparently I had just graduated. Was still at the graduation but the graduation was over. I was looking for my friends. Some of them were friends I had when I was a kid. I spent quite a long time looking around the campus & in the school. This was a long dream. D2: Last day of school for some little kids. The kids didn't want to leave. I was talking to a bunch of them playing w/ their toys such as dolls. I am walking through the cubbies & little desks. We were cleaning up, too. There was a last day of school party going on all over the school so the school was in a disarray but in a fun way. Kids were just running everywhere, lol. That last dream reminded me of being in Junior High. I only had 13 kids in my grade. The biggest class of all of the grades even through high school, lol. We had some fun times on the last day of school back then. D3: Ended up in a house still looking for children some how but I was in a dilapidated home. I think it was a house I knew as a kid. My sister had a classmate that lived in this house across from the school. I was just talking about it the other day.

Here's this morning's collection of dreams, which had a sort of holiday theme going on. I stood in a grassy field with a friend I vaguely know in real life. It was night time, and we were waiting for fireworks. All of a sudden, multiple fireworks shot up into the sky. They were abnormally huge, and all the more beautiful because of it, filling the sky with a multitude of wonderful colors. Before I could really get out a word about how great it all looked, this friend of mine kissed me. That's all I remember here. Pretty odd my friend was involved in this manner, as I don't know her all that well! I was swimming in a pool that looked a lot like the pool we used in P.E. class in high school. As me and a bunch of other swimmers were heading out and back to the locker room, one of them collapsed by the entrance, having a sort of seizure. A guy I know IRL, we'll call him D, who I don't like very much appeared out of no where and was suddenly giving the collapsed guy medical attention. D looked up at me and held out his hand, asking me to give him my phone. I hesitantly complied. Seems like there could be multiple ways to interpret this one. Hmmhmm hmmity hmm. I was at a Christmas party with a good portion of my family, as well as a couple of familiar coworkers and people I didn't know or recognize at all. It was a fairly nice party, with lots of tables, food, and nice music playing. We were all standing in line at a vending machine, but when it was my turn to pop in some change and pick my drink, I couldn't for the life of me figure the thing out. Standing directly behind me was an old coworker of mine, we'll call her W, who was starting to get quite angry at how long I was taking. She eventually slapped the change out of my fumbling hands, yelling about how I needed to get a move on and let everybody else go. My cousin, who was standing behind W, told her to take it easy. I slumped my head and walked over to the nearby fridge, which had a smaller selection of drinks. I saw one that caught my eye: Strawberry soda in a very fancy bottle. I picked it up and went back over to my cousin, who was now standing next to this girl I didn't recognize. They were both drinking bottles of beer, so when the girl saw me approach, she gave a cold look at my bottle of soda and rolled her eyes. Seems everyone just wasn't having it with me at this party! Her and my cousin sauntered away, talking about something incoherently. In real life, I actually have never had alcohol to this day, and I don't plan on it. If I were at a party like this, that's pretty much exactly how it would go. I'm happy with the amount of detail recalled~
I'm standing on a large driveway. An older woman, maybe 50 years old, turns to me and says, "Here are your presents!". I look further up the driveway and there are a bunch of used pieces of furniture. There's tables, chairs, bookcases, etc. I can't tell if I'm happy about it or not.
Idk why my daughter is always, always about four or five in my dreams??? Panic dream about making the water too hot. We are in a church, but of course! The pews are lined up to make avenues for the water, for a bath. There are of course great gaps but this doesn't matter as I turn on a gigantic tap which gushes loads of water. The whole church starts to fill up with water. I realise that the water is getting to hot and try to turn it off. It will not turn off at the facet. Running around everywhere to find how to turn off the tap, i am breathless. I run outside and down the street. Then back in a loop totally panicked through a overhead gallery in the church, where people are using laptops at desks. I jump down from on high this a thwunk onto one of the desks. The kiddo with glasses doesn't bat an eyelid and I land back down into the church. My daughter is not boiled, fortunately but I am so freaked in the dream that this cycles a few times. [comment] In most dreams where I am to worried I have zero lucidity hence I think I need to concentrate more on relaxing before sleepy time??

Once in fifth grade, I had a dream that my mom drove me to the mall. she then got out of the car and left me there. Suddenly I was in the front seat of the car, and it started driving itself. There was a lot of blue glass skateboard ramps I drove off, and one in particular was super high. Mid jump, When I looked down, I saw my friend Lily getting off of a bus, looking up at the car and dropping her backpack. She screamed at me to get down, and the car started to fall. It crashed into someone's garage that I'd never seen before and Lily ran up to me. "SID NO! YOU CRASHED MY DAD'S CAR!" "I'm sorry Lily, it was driving itse-" and I woke up. The next day at school, Lilly looked really tired, and I asked her why. She said she had a dream that she was on a bus and I was in her dad's car, and I crashed her dad's car into her house. She described the car, that fit the car I was in perfectly. She described the house, that also was perfect. I wasn't even that good of friends with lily at the time, and I'm not at all friends with her now. I did some research, and apparently Buddhist monks who train for decades can do something similar to that, and they use it for religious reasons. Or at least used to, I'm not sure. I've done it three times, two by accident and one on purpose. They were: 1. The one involving Lilly that I just told you about (accidental) 2. This one involving some really bad shooter videogame with my friend Joseph, but he kinda was only connected with my mind for about 3 seconds before it stopped and he went away (Accidental) 3. This one time in middle school when I was edgy and decided to try and give some kid who lived on my street a nightmare. It kind of worked, I made him have a nightmare about a plane crashing with him in it, but then he went away and it turned into a nightmare for me with some weird second reality. (On purpose) That's what made me originally decide to try to become Buddhist in fifth grade, but it's been many years since I gave up on that. Nightmares to ALL MY ENEMIES! To be honest, the reason I haven't done it more is because it takes so long to actually do, it's incredibly difficult, and not that effective. Some people I gave nightmares to don't fully remember the nightmares once they wake up, only remembering fragments of the dream. I sound totally insane, but I swear I'm not delusional. I ask the people about their dreams the next day, without giving a prompt. This is (at least kind of) How I did it purposefully: 1: Lie down and wait a while to induce sleep paralysis, go into a dream. 2. Focus on the person. Their name, personality, location, looks, ect. 3. Imagine yourself watching them sleep, then slipping inside their mind. (I sound insane, I swear I'm not. I've been to a doctor for my depression, they did a psychiatric analysis, I'm not psychotic I promise.) 4. QUICKLY, design the setting for the nightmare and put them into it as well as yourself. Watch them, DO NOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THEM, and have DC's interact with them. If you look away they're going to be able to escape. 5. This is only effective if they don't lucid dream. If they can control their dreams they're gonna wake themselves up pretty fast.
For some reason Lucid dreaming has become ridiculously easy for me. I just lay down, stop moving, wait for the sleep switch that renders your body immobile, and then start dreaming. It's getting pretty damn cool, actually.
Went to bed at 8:30pm - 4:50am I woke up at 2:30 and I couldn't sleep on my bed anymore because of my back, so I moved to sofa. I start work at 6am today, so still had some time to sleep. I think this was a ferst dream on sofa: DR: I'm standing on top of the stairwell in my moms house. I look at my hands and I'm trying to get my fingers to be longer. They are not getting longer, but I know they can, because I'm dreaming. I mentally yell at them "longer, longer" and I pull on them with my other hand and my left pinkie kinda gets longer. I say "there you go" and jump in the air off the stairs and fly out the window over the first landing. But I wasn't lucid. So this was weird. But the flying was so effortless and smooth.
Dream I'm a student studying Archaeology.. I'm in a cave area that's been excavated, there's a sort of ledge which I'm sitting on to look at stone engravings. The cave is apparently on a beach where an old civilization may have once existed. The engraved stone looks like sandstone. I notice how the inscriptions depict the missing civilization of people that apparently uprooted their lives to move to a special location, except that's not what the official record is. Apparently someone else interpreted it as these people moving to spread themselves throughout the world, but I believed differently. My professor walks in, I mention my thoughts and say that it makes no sense for them to 'spread throughout the world', it was a hypothesis at best and was mentioned (without proof) that these people were the most advanced species at the time, being the first to discover fire and develop basic crafts --- they were trying to say that by spreading their genes they allowed other humans to evolve their intelligence and also discover fire. Eventually the dream changes, I'm walking with a couple guys to the alleged location that the missing people moved to. It seems like there's a special hot spot of energy... Apparently there's apparently some event that occurs every 10'000 years that will be happening soon (and marks the time the mysterious race of people disappeared). There's some dream backstory about how they stopped demons from invading by fighting them off at this energy hot spot. It's dark outside as we walk... At some point, possibly prior to heading to the energy hot spot there was an event where there was an old lady in a car. I think I was in the back seat and we could see heaps of birds suddenly migrating in the same direction. Then this old crazy lady called 'Grey Cash' by the village went hurtling by, as if blown away by the wind. This apparently meant that she could sense the same thing driving the birds, a catastrophe. Back to the dark night where we were walking.. We come upon a house in a forest, it resembles my parents place. I think we decide to go inside. Before going inside I spot a girl walking around, about my age. She has a spotlight and seems to be looking for something. It's not safe out here, the screeching sounds are getting louder and I have a feeling something bad will happen if she stays outside. I talk to her and she says she has been looking for the voices.... They come from no where, she says. I take her back to the beach so she's safe before I head back to the house in the forest. On the way there's a girl I meet who's called 'The Rat'. She isn't ugly or anything (quite the opposite), she's called that because of her skills in infiltration and hacking. She wears a hooded tight jumpsuit and there's something 'futuristic' about her. She takes me somewhere and the place is somehow not of this world... This part of the dream was a bit difficult to recall and even more difficult to describe. I'm in the house with the other 2 guys, it's dark outside and the room resembles my moms old kitchen before we renovated it. 'Grey Cash' is also there, she is apparently the mom of one of the guys I'm with. Grey Cash apparently needs to go outside and get something from the beach. Wait, what? That's like 30 minutes from here. She leaves though before I can rationalize anything. It's so dark and menacing outside though. I tell the other guys it's not safe outside, they agree. I say "I'll go out and get her. Well.... Not alone of course. That would be dumb" (knowing full well that there's only 3 of us and that the person on their own in a horror movie is usually the one to die). I'm basically trying to edge a second person into thinking that the logical thing to do is join me . I leave the room briefly to enter the lounge (can't recall why) and then return to the kitchen. Grey Cash is back and smiling as if she'd never left. What the? That's not right... My immediate thought is that something is wrong (like she's a ghost or something) and that she shouldn't be able to do that in a dream. In a dream? Uhh... Then I think "oh right this is a dream. Duh." I do a reality check and succeed, I'm still in the kitchen with the other people around me. I immediately try to do the water ball challenge that me and Emnition are doing. Heading over to the sink I cup my hands, planning to manipulate the already-present water droplets in the sink to coalesce into a ball. It works on the 3rd attempt. The ball of water floats between the space of my hands bobbing up and down. Grey Cash was spooking me out in the background as she still had the "Oooo I'm a ghost" dream plot going, threatening to make a nightmare out of a good dream. I turn to her and said 'Fuck off' casually, then flick my fingers at her and she went 'poof', disappearing instantly. Hot damn I'm good. I wake up, pretty happy I did the challenge
Dream I'll probably summarise this as I wrote the entire thing a couple days ago and my computer crashed... In a house with Josh, it's late at night and he's looking for something. We head down the hallway of the house which is unlit, the only light comes from the room we just left. There's 2 doors at the end of the hallway, he checks the one on the right and I check the left. The room I check is completely trashed. Wtf? "Josh! Get over here!" It looks like someone has broken in, wind is blowing the curtains around wildly from the open window. I see someone move in the hallway and expect it to be josh but he's moving away. Ffs. I close the door and decide to go get him and show him. I turn into the hallway and it's not Josh, it's a little girl.. Only, different.. She's got a back pack on and a doll hanging from her left hand. She's not facing me, and is isntead pacing slowly down the hall. "JOSHJOSHJOSHJOSHJOSHJOSHJOSHJOSHJOSH!!!!!" I wail rapidly in terror. She turns and smiles. But... She doesn't have a face. She's wearing a sack with buttons for eyes and a mock mouth illustrated by artistic sewing. It looks nightmarish. Josh rounds the corner from the lit room at the other end of the hallway, "Dude what the fuck?!" he says as he sees her. The little girl creepily walks off to the side and says "Oh well, looks like I won't have my fun.. tonight" an evil grin spreads across her face, is she going to kill us? She disappears into the darkness. What the... I wake up a bit shaken, I can't sleep for another 30 minutes or so, it was pretty freaky.
