Fragment of Dreams
I've got some confused, tangled fragments today... but it's far better than yesterday, where I had no recall at all! So without further ado: The first thing I recall is being back at home, again. I actually think it's our older home, from before I even left for college. My dad and little brother are there, though it quickly becomes just my dad. He's going to take me somewhere, to school, perhaps, but I'm not sure. He's waiting for me to be ready, but for various reasons I'm not ready. The main one is that I'd grab something I needed, set it aside, turn to grab something else, and when I turned back, the first thing would have disappeared! Of course in the dream I blame myself for misplacing it. So he's sitting out in the car waiting and this happens several times. Memorably, the last time is for my laptop. I set it aside to grab its charger, and then the laptop itself is gone. Then when my dad starts to come in from the car to see what's taking so long, my laptop magically reappears in my hands. No second thoughts are given on this, of course, and that's about the end of the fragment. There's a shorter fragment here that's more or less a false awakening. I believe this happened after I woke up for real, but rolled over and went back to sleep. In this fragment I'm quite tired, and just laying in my mattress. I roll on to one side, and "imagine" a mirror being there... of course then it materializes, but I think nothing of it beyond having a "good imagination" >_< I repeat it on the other side, and then, looking at the ceiling, I imagine something quite different... almost some sort of grotesque doll-house or something. Quite a vague memory. The other larger fragment has me back in the house, with my family again. We are all planning to go to Barre (the closest place to actually do anything to where I grew up), but my little brother doesn't want to go, so that cancels the trip. I'm annoyed by this and complain a bit, and my dad offers to go with just me. I think on it a bit, feeling bad for being selfish, but I accept. The trip is abstracted out to 10 seconds at most, and then we are in "Barre". But we're not in the mall that I would have wanted to go to, we're in some sort of mishmash between someone's house (I'm thinking my older brother's) and an open plaza. It's weird. And the whole time I can hardly keep my eyes open... my futon mattress is there, and I keep dozing off. I have a short nap at some point. Meanwhile my dad is off talking to someone, like he often does. I also recall him filling up two different water bottles. After the nap, which is also skipped over, I need to pee. I wander into what seems to be a bathroom, with all the amenities except an actual toilet. I'm disappointed and confused until I see another door in the back of the bathroom. It leads into another side room with just a toilet and sink. I suppose the idea was that someone could use the toilet while someone else takes a shower, with relative privacy for both parties. In any case, I start to do my business, and then I wake up.
Oops. Should've posted this this morning for consistency. Oh well. More fragments of dreams today, I'm afraid. Hopefully my recall improves soon... The first fragment seems to involve a place that's hard to describe, as always. A jumbled mess of jumbled memories. The main thing that I remember is that, like so many other dreams, family is around, and there is also some standard video game villain, out of sight. My brain wants to say "Robotnik" from the Sonic games. *shrug* The idea is that there aren't any more "natural" enemies, as they've all been destroyed, so there are some totally man-made equivalents. The perplexing thing is the mix of the sonic villain and the very much mario Bob-ombs. It's quite peculiar because the "bombs" are made of something that's probably closest to Legos. And setting one off sent bits of plastic everywhere in an amusing, harmless fashion. These things couldn't hurt a fly. My father isn't amused for some reason, though. Second fragment: A mess of a school setting, which feels like it should be college, but my high school music teacher is there. In my capacities as a labtech (which was my college workstudy...) I'm helping my music teacher move some stuff around. The stuff involved, I don't really remember. I can say, though, that the room I put it in is full to bursting with random junk. It was really hard to find a place to put the stuff. And... that's about that, really.
Just a couple fragments today... I'm probably adjusting to my new mattress or something. The first fragment involved me in this jumbled-up area... I remember being outside as part of the fragment I remember, perhaps in a baseball field? I dunno, except that it felt like it was near a school, and I find some really past-due paperwork in the grass, or something. What the paperwork is for, I'm not sure. That's literally all I have for this fragment. The second fragment, on the other hand, doesn't feel like I'm involved at all... just observing. It feels more like I'm watching someone else's dream. And it almost seems like THEY might be lucid, but of course I'M not lucid. Heh... Anyways, there's a guy there that I believe strongly resembles the knight motif, and he has two companions. One seems to be... incorporeal or something, and the other is hurt. So this heroic knight volunteers to go into this cave, or building, or whatever, alone. And then most of the stuff here is forgotten, unfortunately. But it seems he was valiantly successful, and I see him curing his hurt friend with some magic he found, or something. Again, very, very blurry. I hope my normal recall comes back in a couple days.
Now, I had this dream at 2 AM, so the recall was spotty even as I first woke up from it... Anyways, I remember talking with someone who is offering to help me out. Unfortunately I can't remember a thing about them. Not their name, appearance, or even gender. Anyway, my brain is clearly confused about things, since this individual is trying to help me access Dreamworld or some such, yet things from work are getting mixed in. I have to go online, find some program, listen to this or that audio file... the word NUnit was thrown around a bit, which is directly from work. All the same, I'm eager to do what it takes since this is a huge goal for me. My brain is still confused though, since for a name of someone to get in contact with it pulls Marona, from Phantom Brave, but the music looping in my head is from Legend of Mana. That's about all for this fragment, but it was important enough to me that I woke up at 2 AM and wrote it down. So there ya go.
01/03/2011G-Mod Idiot... Theatre? (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID So in this dream, I was in some theatre with a bunch of other college-age kids. I don't remember if I knew any of them or not, though. What I remember is that we were watching some preview of the next episode of a silly Youtube video series. I'm not exactly sure which one, but I'll go with GMod Idiot Box. Only, this one was actually more of a game than a video. We had a Wii set up for it, but before it would run they had to insert 32(!) separate DVDs. The contents of them didn't matter except for one. One had to be a specific movie so they could "get the right color for _______'s panties." Bizarre and slightly perverted, I know. I don't get it either! Anyways, I don't remember much of the actual game/video. It wasn't quite as funny as the normal videos, but it was indeed an interactive game. Weird. All of the actual content is a blur, though. Who knows what it was about. (I don't remember any panties, though. ) And... that's all I remember, I guess.
09/19/2010Subconscious Shenanigans (DILD) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Unfortunately I don't remember this one all that well (I need to work on recall!) but it was indeed alucid dream. I believe this was led into from another dream. From what I can remember, it seems as though I was lucid the entire time. I had intended to communicate with my subconscious the next time I became lucid, so that is what I was trying to do. I remember looking over a rather scenic landscape, and chatting with several people who are all parts of my subconscious, or so it seems. The scene pans quite a bit, and by the end I'm on a floating platform of sorts... tied to a tree, I think? I can't really remember. Somewhere about halfway through the dream I notice that my "dream" only fills a rectangle in my field of vision. (Think the Animus from Assassin's Creed. I've been playing that a lot the past couple days.) I can see and hear my friend Andy off to the left, and he can hear what I'm saying to these parts of my subconscious. I'm not lucid enough to realize this isn't possible. As for what I actually ask my subconscious, I'm not quite sure. I know I didn't get to ask everything I wanted to. I only clearly remember the bit at the end, though I recall several people. There was also a robot sort of thing that I couldn't really understand. Mainly I was talking to this jolly, but VERY fat man. Towards the end he puts on a record which has some recorded burp-type sounds on a baseline of sorts, which I think is a meme I've heard. (It isn't, but sadly it isn't far off...) I remember asking in joking disbelief, "have the memes really sunk in this far...?" He responded, "Well, perhaps you haven't heard this one, but somebody did, on _____" (some website, I can't remember. Think like Pandora radio or Last.fm) "So what, is it like in the hivemind then, or something?" I joked. I don't remember his response. Around this time, the one question I do remember asking is about having more lucid dreams, to which he answers, "Just be yourself, and keep doing what you've been doing." The advice doesn't seem too helpful, but on the other hand... I did something right. He ends up leaving saying, "Sorry, I gotta go. I'm gonna be on TV soon, you know." "Yeah, I'm sure you're just wildly popular," I laugh. He motions to a woman that's there suggesting that she's the popular one. There was also some random man there, but I didn't end up talking to either of them. The dream faded before I got to ask the other questions I wanted to, like about intuition and the paranormal.
09/09/2010ATS -- All-Terrain Submersible (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This is just a short fragment, but I remember being in some sort of school setting. My friends Andy and Ganey are there, as well as some sort of other guy... either a professor, or venture capitalist, or something. Anyways, Ganey is showing off to us, as basically he has a submarine. We're all in the classroom watching him remote control a submarine. Not only that, his submarine can not only submerge, of course, but FLY. Yes, it can rise right out of the water and hover in the air. I remember being simultaneously confused and amazed by this. It's hilarious in retrospect, really. Anyway, that's all I can remember.
09/08/2010That's not how reincarnation works... (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This dream is pretty fragmented, but from what I do remember, it takes place right before heading back to college, and I'm contemplating whether to "reincarnate" (those of you who play the Disgaea series, think reincarnation or transmigration from that). Basically, I would become a newborn again, but have all the knowledge I currently have now. I don't know HOW that would work, or how a newborn would ever survive college anyways. The other part of the dream that I remember is when I actually get to college. I'm good old me, so I guess I decided not to "reincarnate". The interesting thing is, apparently my school is now on one of JUPITER'S MOONS (I wanna say Triton). Of course, this doesn't seem out of the ordinary for me. I remember having landed on Triton and being next to some sort of volcano. I pull up a sort of map on the "HUD" (apparently I'm in a video game now) and realize that I'm on the far west side of the map, and the campus is on the far eastern side. Since the map wraps around, though, I should be right next to it if I just turn around. That is all I remember of this crazy dream.
