    1. Uncle's Basement

      by , 06-18-2016 at 12:01 AM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      I find myself appearing into the basement of large structure. It resembles the basement of my uncle’s house, yet a bit larger and more vacant. The dream is a bit blurry and dark, so I keep demanding verbally: “clarity!” “focus!”. I look to where they usual have a TV set up,yet there does not appear to be much in the area. The area feels very empty to the left as well. It looks like there are several room connected to the far end of the large empty room I’m in, roughly fifteen meters in the distance. The dream remains very dim, and I decide to LDEILD into another lucid. I lay down, and keep repeating the mantra to myself: “I’m in a lucid dream”. I return to an in-between state in which I am aware of vibrations within my head, ready for another lucid entry.

      I had 1 lucid dream & 1 non-lucid but I lost the non to dealing with life in a timely matter.

      I was listening to a meditation by Lilian Eden. She is an almost guaranteed lucid for me of some kind.

      Lucid: I was lucid from the very beginning which is rare for me. I was in the total dark but I knew where I was & I knew what was going to happen so I just started laughing. I was about to have the floor drop out from under me & into the water. This has happened before. There is a wet washcloth on my face & I get dropped into a dark pool of water. This time one of my sisters was there & I threw the washcloth at her & told her to not be scared. The meditation ended & I woke up. It still makes me laugh. I'm sure it's one of those things that you just had to be there for the funny part.

    3. Lucid on a River

      by , 06-17-2016 at 09:07 PM
      I fell back asleep this morning while trying to visualize floating on a river. I practice visualization pretty regularly, and occasionally it produces a WILD. When I initially entered the dream I thought that it must be one of the rivers nearby, as the landscape looks the same. I seemed to be floating on an invisible boat, or I just never looked down because my field of vision was just the river and the trees on either side. Instead of moving forward slowly, like floating on a boat, my body felt the sensation of going backwards, and rather quickly, and feeling regular patterns of large swells of waves, almost like a slow, backwards rollercoaster. The scene was in fact similar to the image on a video of a simulated ride. After a little while of really enjoying this sensation, I was plunged into darkness, and had a tingling sensation. I continued to feel as if I were moving backwards, only now it felt more like falling. A tiny fear came up in me and I briefly thought of death. I saw tiny orange and yellow moving geometric figures accompanied by rapid 'tink tink tink tink' sounds as they slid around on either side of my visual field, sort of like a mini tetris game.


      Thoughts: The was not quite an OBE, as I did not have the sensation of moving or jumping out of my body as I have in the past.
    4. Scream

      by , 06-17-2016 at 06:26 PM (The Internal and Subconscious World of DropTherapy)
      This dream is from about June of 2016.

      I had a dream where my class was watching a video of a live performance of a band called scream.
      i got closer to the TV and then the lead singer, who was sporting a dark brown cloak with symbols on it ran after me. he then trapped me and attempted to force-feed me until i couldn't move. once i escaped, i left the classroom and tried to find an exit. he was chasing me the whole time. i then found a carnival that was built in to the school. i attempted to play a game or two, but none of them worked. i then saw the person running through the halls in the background. I made a run for it towards the maze attraction. shortly before i entered it, everything became distorted and hard to see. i then realized that i could open my eyes at that point, so i woke up.

    5. A Brief History of Me

      by , 06-17-2016 at 04:27 PM
      Hi everyone,

      I call myself Solaetia here. I'm a, ahem, 'middle-aged' human female and I've been interested in dreams since I was a kid. The first dream I remember was from when I was around 4 years old, it was short and involved my dog and Robin Williams in his role as 'Mork' (70's kid) I was playing with my dog when I saw Mork was visiting us, along with my grandma and grandpa. ^_^ The first nightmare I remember happened when I was around 5-6 years old, and involved being sucked into a picture that sat on the nightstand next to my bed, and turned into a cartoon. I began having reoccurring nightmares about bears when I was 12, and they lasted throughout my early 20s, although I still have bear dreams now and then they don't have the power that they once did. I had my first lucid dream at 15 before I knew what they were called. I discovered Stephen LaBerge's book 'Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming' when I was around 17 and I believe that is when my true oneironautic journey began.

      It's been a while since I've kept an online DJ (I used SawLogs for a few years back when it was online) and I am excited to be back in a dream community. I feel more connected to myself when I record my dreams. My goals are to keep that up, continue to exercise and advance my LD skills, study and practice Dream Yoga, and to become overall more aware in waking and sleeping life.

      Happy to be here.

      Non lucid dream thought.

      I remember in the dream i tryed to get in to a lucid state, by going to sleep in the dream and try to wake up in the dream. I remember i was in my room, but my house was bigger. I remember aswell i was by a lake and there was a chair. Can't remember more.

      15/06/2016

      I remember i was in a house with my brother "tommy". We was about to go downstairs until saw a tv screen, a computer and something else i cant remember.
      Then i saw my moms ex and i asked if he was angry at me, and he said no.. I dunno why i asked that.

      16/06/2016

      I dreamed that i was on a boat, with my dad. I remember my dad drove right in to a stone/berg and it exploded, i landed on the rock thougth.
      And i thougth at that moment my dad died since he was on that boat (on the level below).. Aswell i do remember i saw a head walk under the rock and went in to a house but i never went to check it.
      I started to cry in the dream and tryed to record on my phone what happened.. And suddently an polie appeared out of nowhere.. And me and the police (lady) went in to the house where it was a cafeeteria(Wich was fucking weird because we was on a random spot on an island. And there my dad was sitting and drinking coffe and reading. I was so glad in the dream and then i woke up.

    7. 6/17/16

      by , 06-17-2016 at 12:56 PM (Book of Dreams)
      Only recalling one dream from last night...

      I can't remember exactly how the dream started, but the first thing I remember is that I was downtown, walking around with some people, and I kept running into people from my high school. I would say hi, but as this kept happening I remember thinking, "this is so weird seeing this many high school friends at once..." when eventually I came across the actual school, but I was still downtown. I asked around as to why the school was moved, and somebody told me they relocated it to the Chicago river. This was an acceptable answer to me, so I went inside and reconnected with some classmates (funny how my whole graduating class was still hanging out in and around the school...)

      The next thing I remember is running through the halls with a large group of friends following me, but I was literally running as fast as I could. They weren't chasing me, but we were all going at top speed, and I was trying to get away from them but they didn't know it.

      I can't recall how the running sequence ended, but then I remember being outside the school again, on a little patch of land by the river. As I looked back at the school, I realized it was literally on the water. I reached out one hand, one tower of the building began bubbling from under the water, where the foundation was. Eventually the whole tower collapsed. Nearby students watched and started freaking out, and I just kept stretching my hands out, destroying the school one section at a time. Once the whole thing had come down, a huge fight scene ensued between me and all the students who were outside. It was like a martial arts movie. Then I woke up.
    8. Animal Kingdom

      by , 06-17-2016 at 05:39 AM
      In the world I was in, many animals seemed to have equal intelligence to humans, and they were just as important in our day-to-day lives. In fact, many animals were able to talk. This was something like an "end of the world."

      There was something wrong with my dog Romeo, but it was unclear what. I tried to feed him very big, juicy berries, but he wouldn't eat them--because he's a dog, of course. There was an elephant (?) beside him though, lounging there, and he said that he had never understood why some animals are so mean to each other, when they're almost always in the same boat. He and I talked some towards the end of the dream.

      I remember thinking about how in the Bible it says that God loves humans above all else and I considered saying that to the elephant I was speaking with, but decided not to because that would have been very rude and horrible. I wondered if God loved those animals equally in this world, since it was clear they seemed to be of a higher intelligence.
    9. Tests, Tests, and More Tests

      by , 06-17-2016 at 05:29 AM
      It was the last day of high school, and we all had had a week-long break before hand (or perhaps it was two or three weeks). Everyone needed to find their home rooms, and once the bell rang a final exam would be administered. Because we had been gone for so long (and at my school we only went to home room three or four times a school year), I was having trouble remembering where mine was. I looked into one and seen Jacob C. and Metal, and decided to give it a shot. The man that was the teacher called role--I remember that Metal was making a reverse list of sorts, because he was hoping that that was my home room after all, and so every name that was called, he'd write it down. Finally the man was done and when I realized that he definitely hadn't called me, I got up to find another room.

      The bell hadn't rung yet, which was just my good luck. Standing in the hall way were a couple of other teachers, and with them was a mobile table of sorts that carried all of the tests. One of them tried to go ahead and give me my examination, but I told them that I needed to find my home room first. I could tell that they weren't pleased, but they told me to hurry and didn't ask any more questions. ("They" were a bit shorter than me, older, and had white hair, but I can't remember what their gender was supposed to be, or anything else about them, really.)

      Mrs. Tear's class was just right across the hall, so I stopped there first. Everyone was already seated, so I went straight to her desk and asked her if I was on her roll call; she checked, told me I was, handed me my test, and so I sat down and did it. It was difficult.

      After that, I was driving to college with my mom. At some point she pointed out that the people in front of us were having car troubles (I can't remember what with), and so I rolled down my window and asked them what was wrong, if there was anything that we would be able to do. I then just got out of the car and conversed with them. We were getting along well, but then their little boy asked me if I could go ahead and leave. I agreed and when I turned around I seen that there was a car behind us, waiting for me to move. I rushed in, told the people goodbye, and then drove away.

      Once we got to the college, it was my mom who was needing to take a test. It was a very short thing, but I needed to help her a bit. The last question either had to do with my dad, or her answer had to do with it. She didn't like the test-makers, because she felt that they were too intrusive in her personal life.

      Finally we're back home, and I can fly through things! I float through walls and through people--floating through people is a bit more difficult, though, because I have to first will myself to be invisible before I do it. I remember laying down on the couch in the living room for a time before getting back up again.
    10. LUCID - The infinite self and some blissful adventures

      by , 06-17-2016 at 02:45 AM
      Bedtime: 11.30pm
      Sleep: approx 12am
      WBTB alarm: 3am


      As I was laying down I had a very clear vision in my hypnogogic imagery of myself, where I looked rather smashing if I do say. Then there was another me behind him in mirror and he (I?) held up another mirror to make an infinite mirror reflection. I could then see a large number of myselves in the infinite mirror, my 'infinite self'. Each one of them was making different movements, like they were all seperate and unique. They were all smiling and waving at me! The vision was so clear I had to double take to question if my eyes were closed or not.

      __
      1.

      Non-Lucid

      I was at a family lunch at an outdoors setting and someone gave my Mum a lottery ticket for her birthday (happened IRL), it was marked 3333333 which I thought was very lucky. Then I looked at it closer and the numbers weren't all 3's but 3302331 or similar. My family was sitting to the right and then another group of people were sitting on my left. I noticed my friend SZ leaning against a rail with a few guys giving her lots of attention. I asked the guy on my left, who was wearing dark clothes and had dark hair, 'are you related to her'? 'Yes we are her family' he said. Then I looked back and my family had moved to another table. ..FUZZY..
      Later the same guy with dark hair was just sitting by himself on the ground and everything was white around. I had the idea, I should go and ask him if he is a dreamer (like in the movie Waking Life), then I should do an RC. At this point I already knew I was dreaming.

      LUCID (DILD)

      I went to ask him if he was a dreamer and then did an RC (nose block) and confirmed that I am dreaming. ...FUZZY..

      Next I remember I was in bed laying on my back, which I thought was weird because I always sleep on my side. I only had faint glimpses of it because I thought I was about to wake up (later realised I was still dreaming the whole time). I tried to project from my body. I was having difficulty projecting, it was only working a little bit. I had some vibrations and acceleration sensations which I knew meant I was about to project. I floated up and felt absolutely amazing, like a gentle orgasmic vibration though my whole body. I felt weightless and started drifting off into the void.

      At some point I could start seeing details of a room, eventually I was there. I wanted to go outside but there were bars over the window. I decided to try a new RC I had read about, pushing my finger through the other hand. It didn't work so I dismissed it. I then tried to phase through the bars on the window but I couldn't so I just bent them to make a gap. Outside there was a large apartment building which I marvelled at because it was so detailed. There was also some forest around.

      I remembered my goal for the dream which was to slow down or stop time. I yelled out 'stop time!'. I never tested it though so I'm not sure if it worked. *next time I should check if it actually worked*

      I walked around very slowly and deliberately so as not to get to excited. There was a shop at the bottom of the building so I went over to check it out. There was a sign but I can't remember what it said now. Outside there was a bar and a man sitting on a stool. I went to ask him how can I stop time. He didn't say anything and just stared blankly into the distance. The dream started to fade so I was grabbing onto the bar and trying to hold onto the dream, but the greyness kept growing so I decided to spin.

      After a few moments of spinning I was back to where I had started, outside the first building, but it was night and everything was dark. I wanted to manifest a torch but remembered about the whole 'can't change lighting' situation, so I decided to try to manifest a car with its headlights on. I looked away and then looked back, but the scene changed and I was looking at a small car from a bird's eye perspective. I decided to roll with it so I watched this little car which was in a rally race with some other cars. I watched as they went along and then I ended up coming to a room at the end of the track.

      This room was like man cave, it had all sorts of cool stuff in it. There was an old TV which had a black screen and said 'DOCUMENTARY' in white writing. There were some letters on the ground, I looked at one and it had my name on it. I don't know why but I didn't open the letter. There was a weird ornamental candle burning, with about 5 different points that had a small flame. I decided to play with the fire because I had never seen fire in a dream and I thought it could be a solution to the light problem. I found a small clothes peg and tried to light it on fire from one of the points. As soon as I got close to the flame it would go out. I tried another but it went out too. Then the flames came back. I thought it was really weird. Determined, I put it up to the flame again and got it to burn a little bit, but when I took it away it just went out. I kept trying to burn it but it would always go out when I took it away from the flame.

      I turned around and a few dogs came into the room. One puppy came up to me which was mostly white with some light brown spots. I cuddled with him and then I realised it was a dog I had as a child, George the Basset Hound. He did this typical growl that he always used to do and I definitely knew it was him. I was so happy to see him and I started to get very emotional and cry. I felt myself starting to wake up slowly. When I woke up I started to cry a little bit IRL. It was nice to see him again.

      -----

      2. Non Lucid.
      I was going to a public toilet. As I walked in to the toilet I noticed there were two couples having sex in full view of everyone. I went into the stall and from the stall there was a gap where I could still see one couple. They were really going for it. I walked out and the 2 couples came out too with some others. I talked to them and said I was going to a festival, M. I told them about the festival etc. I went to the festival and the setup was awesome at the camp my friends had made. Then I realised I hadn't bought anything and I didn't have time to go shopping. I hadn't even bought food or drinks.

      -------

      3. LUCID (WILD)
      I was laying in bed (early morning).
      I made my intention to have a lucid dream. I started to have some hypnogogic imagery. There was some sort of shiny bumpy golden surface in front of me. I tried very had to focus on it. Eventually I could see more and more detail and then I reached out and touched it. I could see more and more detail and I was outside. I saw a shop and decided I wanted to try some food. I went to the shop and they had a whole bunch of different baked goods on a table. I went and picked a few different sweet buns and a drink and went to the counter to pay. He asked me if I wanted to try these other buns on the counter and I was a bit in decisive about it. I payed with paypass on my card. I tried one of the buns with white icing on top. It was very mushy and sweet and not as chewy as I expected, it sort of turned to goo. After that I woke up.

    11. Light and Dark

      by , 06-17-2016 at 01:03 AM (Life's Dream Accounts)
      I was riding my bike home from school like I used to as a freshman in college, then I noticed the there weren't any sidewalks and everywhere I was riding my bike seemed to be more for cars. When I peddled I noticed the side of the road on the sidewalk was deformed and there was construction being done on the sidewalk, new freshly paved. I was afraid to fall off the bike because below me was uneven area, I fell.

      I awoke and I was in a place of light and dark. There was a door between me, the dream world I was in, and the place of light and dark that I was now in. The two year old version of me runs out into the world where they had paved the sidewalk and I tried to grab myself, but the door was only cracked open and wouldn't budge anymore. I then awoke as the two-year-old me stepped into the pavement, I grabbed her, and took her back into the world of light and dark, to the veil where she belonged.

    12. #2 - Comet Visit & University Life

      by , 06-16-2016 at 11:56 PM
      Comet Visit

      I was on a space shuttle bound to visit a comet. This was mostly a white surface, probably inspired by concrete more than ice. I don't remember any sky or starscape, since I was mostly looking at the ground. I came across some small red plants (similar to seaweed) growing in a patch. Finding plants growing on a comet would be an important discovery! Unfortunately, upon getting back in the space shuttle, it turned out that the plants had been put there previously as part of an experiment 'by a PhD student'. (I don't think anyone told me this - as often happens in dreams, I just knew.) Later I went out in deep space and ended up floating out there, somewhat worried about by prospects for getting back. I had a HUD which allowed me to scroll through possible targets, and upon selecting a target, my thrusters would slowly take me there. I managed to select the space shuttle quickly enough to get back before it got too far away, but only after hurriedly scrolling through many irrelevant targets.

      I remember hearing some radio chatter between the pilot (a woman), and ground control (male voices), and peering forward into the cockpit. Skip forward to re-entry, and everything seemed to be going well. While we landed, though, I realised the wheels were beginning to smoulder and might catch fire. Suddenly, all of the crew of the space shuttle (including me) were outside sprinting away in fear that it would catch fire and explode. I saw a person or two I recognised from my memories in the crowd. The end of this scene seemed to be inside a very large warehouse where the spacecraft were stored; in the end the space shuttle was fine.

      Note: Lately I'd been reading about astrobiology and speculation on alien life. Can't remember any other space dreams off the top of my head.

      University Life

      A senior member of a student society or 'panel' had resigned in order to make way for a new member, since they thought it would help the new member's career opportunities. They were mostly female and drawn from my memories. After watching this being explained, I went into a side corridor, and I knew that everyone had a small extra room here for 'emergency purposes'. My room was to the left, the first door off another side corridor, containing only a bed. A man came in to repair something, and watching this for a while, a man opens the door of the side corridor. For some reason I get it into my head that the second man thinks I'm in a gay relationship with the maintenance man, to my irritation. Later, everyone gathered outside on a lawn to watch a building's roof (a glass dome) explode. An announcer explained that this is due to its composition of silicon dioxide, which is said to be unstable in our atmosphere.

      Note: I've had the odd dream set in a school or university, normally involving very different buildings or outdoors areas each time.

      Awful Pixelated Game

      I'm walking in the road in a random real-life location, with a skip on my right-hand side (and a lack of cars on the road) as the only changes. Someone is talking to me about a game. It's set with a light blue background, and I may have somehow seen the game by looking into the skip. I think the game may have involved bears or polar bears, and it had these weird low-resolution pixelated graphics, where one of the characters was a sort of blobby snowman marked by one-pixel borders and a face made of a few black pixels. There was nothing particularly good or special about the game (probably better than Flappy Bird), except that a sixteen-year old teenager had designed it. I didn't get why people were talking about it.
    13. Normal Dream (Scarlet A-suna)

      by , 06-16-2016 at 09:36 PM (KingYoshi's Dream Journal...My World is Different)
      Haven't typed up my dreams in a while, but have still been DJing. Just wanted to type this one up, so my buddy could read it if he wanted, haha.

      June 16, 2016
      Normal Dream: Scarlet A-suna
      Series: Friends, Episode 16



      Me and a bunch of my buddies were at a big weekend getaway house that we all chipped-in to rent. It was basically a small mansion. Me and Gez were playing a competitive game in a small white room. It reminded me of racquetball, but not exactly. Anyway, we were listening to music as we played and I had just selected a random playlist on my laptop. On that playlist, however, was a special, unreleased song that Asuna (Sword Art Online) had sang, recorded, and dedicated to me. I didn't know it was on the playlist as Gez was currently dating Asuna. The song was about dating one person, but being in love with another. The music station was too far for me to turn it off in time, so I just tried to distract Gez from paying attention to it, but it didn't work. I could see the expression on his face change from confusion to shock to a cold fury as he paced back and forth listening. I waited him to say something, but he never did. The song got to a tasteful part about making love with the secret and I just had to get the fuck out of the room. I couldn't think of an excuse, so I just said, "Hold on a second," as I opened the door to exit the room. He responded in a calm, but tone of impending doom, "Sure." I exited the room.

      In the hallway, I took a deep breath and wiped the sweat off of my brow. That shit was way too intense. I muttered, "Fuck," under my breath and headed for the main party area. Most, if not all, the rest of our friends were in this room. I quickly approached Asuna and the look on my face must have gave me away. Before I could speak, her expression changed to a look of concern and she said, "What is wrong?" Shamefully, I was half thinking of a way out of the situation and only half paying attention to the words I spoke. "He knows," I replied. "Who knows about what?" she said as the look on her face turned to pure confusion. "Gez knows that you slept with what's his name," I replied. She paused for a split second and then shouted, "YOU MEAN YOU!?!" I didn't look at her face as I softly replied, "Yeah." She cursed and immediately took off out of the room to talk to Gez. This wasn't good I thought.

      I walked across the room and sat beside my buddy Diddy. I told him the situation about me fucking Asuna. He gave me his "you are in some shit and I'm amused" laugh, then asked what I was going to do. I told him it wasn't funny and I think Gez may actually shoot me. Moments later, the door opens and Asuna walks in holding an AR followed by Gez and his close buddy (I didn't know him very well). His buddy was holding a hunting rifle. I leapt to my feet and asked Asuna, "What the fuck are you doing? Why do you have guns?" Gez's buddy began setting up targets across the room. Asuna told me that Gez said he wanted to shoot some targets. I carefully took the gun out of her willing hand, laid it on the nearby bed, took her hand and lead her out of the room. "I'm sure he fucking does want to shoot guns right now." I lead her by the hand outside of the house and into the parking lot. I asked if she could take me home and she nodded. My heart is still racing as I see her car is blocked-in by about 10 cars. I then, cartoonishly, grab her car by the bumper and began maneuvering it around the other cars as if it was merely a wheelbarrow. Once we were in the clear, we jumped in the car and drove off.

      "We are fucked," said Asuna, the first words any of us had spoke in the car. I asked what Gez had said when she told him and she said, "He looked at me as if I were an annoying bug he wanted to squash and calmly said 'I mean, of course I am upset about it, but it happens.' And that was it." My eyes widened and I replied, "Shit, yeah that isn't good." We drove in silence for a few moments as I tried to think of a what to do next. I then asked her to move-in with me. As I asked her I felt my body start to warm-up and a sensation of love overcame me. It was a sensation I hadn't felt in a long time (in real life). As she was about to reply, my roommates woke me up. I tried to jump back into the dream after shooing them off, but no dice.

      Dream 1: Non-Lucid dream fragment. Meesha was rubbing up against my feet while I was in bed & I woke up. She wasn't there in real life & she never does this, lol.

      Dream 2: Non-Lucid dream. I went to this apartment & was babysitting a small dog. The owner came home. We were talking & then we heard something coming from the back part of the apartment & these 3 people who were apparently hiding there & they found another dog there that had just been born in the back of the apartment. They were friends of the owner. Suddenly there was a fire in the back of the apartment. We put it out but it had opened up a wall & area that wasn't there before. The owner suddenly said, okay you guys can fix this part of the apartment & you can live there. It was funny.


      I listened to a soothing subliminal Lucid Dream tool while I was sleeping & I woke up in a good mood. It actually let me use the WBTB method.

      I had several dreams last night but only managed to record one of them.

      I was walking home with someone I have never met IRL, but in my dream I think he was an acquaintance, and we were talking about a band he was in. He wanted me to see the band perform, or listen to their album or something. I told him I definitely would, but I got the impression he had asked me this before and I hadn't, or something. He just seemed like he didn't believe me. Eventually, we got to his place and said goodnight. He went inside, and I began walking home to my apartment. Somehow I ended up taking a back way that I never have before, and I remember fumbling with my keys, getting a very nervous feeling. As I got closer to home, I became actually frightened, but there was no immediate threat or anything, just a feeling I had. I realized I went down the wrong street, and reached a dead end, so I turned around. Eventually I got onto a street where my building was on, but it was the back, and somehow I didn't recognize the building and passed it, but when I looked back I realized this and ran up to the back door (my building IRL has no such back entrance, but you know how dreams are). I realized there was a refrigerator on the back lawn. I passed it and went to unlock the door, but thought, "I better make sure this refrigerator is locked," and pulled out a key. I locked the lawn refrigerator and the proceeded to enter the building. The back door led directly into my kitchen (even though I live on the 3rd floor), and when i got inside, I noticed there were christmas lights set up all over the apartment. This was not shocking to me in the dream, however. These must have always been there. I was still feeling scared, so I began shutting all the blinds to the apartment. In the living room, my roommate's grandparents were arguing about something. In the dream, it became clear to me that they lived with us and always have. I asked what they were talking about, and the grandma told me that there was a dead mouse on the stairs, and no one had taken care of it. 4 months ago, she saw it and it had startled her and she fell down the stairs. This is when I woke up.

      I realize that in my dreams, there are a lot of facts that aren't true, but in my dream I just know the background story, like how I knew I had a key to this mysterious fridge, or the fact that it was Christmas time and my roommates grandparents lived with me. It's like the dream gives you instant background knowledge. I need to figure out a way to document these facts in the DJ without having to explain the whole situation. Maybe after reading some other members' DJ's I'll figure out a way to distinguish these "dream facts", but if anyone is reading this, do you experience these same understood "dream facts" in your dreams? and how do you document them in your DJ?
