    1. Competition Entry # 4

      by , 07-31-2014 at 05:55 PM
      Late to bed after watching two episodes of a series, drinking a bit of alcohol and then, I didn't do something on going to bed. Upon waking up naturally, I wasn't willing to properly WBTB. Had done some simple RCs yesterday, at least.
      Today later I plan one more hypnosis session and I did two, and hope for more extended RCs with pretending to be lucid and what to do then. I will also put an alarm for WBTB, not to "decide" about it on the spot (the wrong way...).
      My I-Phone is loaded for dictation in the night and morning, too.


      Dream #1: That's the one, from which I woke up - the one, which was clearly there, when waking up in the middle of the night is gone by now. After talking about it yesterday in my DJ and making said thread - tadaa - I was "shopping dress ideas" again (irl I didn't buy new clothes or anything like it for a long while). And shoes - seriously out of my reach - there are people, who have a shoemaker doing stuff to their specifications. Hm - hehe - how to get famous and rich?
      Well - anyway - it had the so often present small difficulties along the way, including a toilet, and there was more to it, but what I have seems "dream-worthy".


      Fragment #1: I drive a car, going backwards around a corner upwards to park it into not much space. Worked.

      Fragment #2: With my grandmother in our old garden, planting hyacinths.

      Fragment #3: In a restaurant, and a woman, I know from former work, and didn't like her, was the waitress and it was awkward.

      Not a good night - went to bed late, didn't do a WBTB, no lucids. And I lost recall for a dream I really liked and which I remembered very well, when waking up in the middle of the night, but I was so stupid to expect, I would still remember it in the morning - nope.
      I'll tinker with this post over the day - maybe some more recall will come back to me.

      Dream #1: I was visiting a friend of mine in another city, and met her and a colleague of hers after they finished work, we then went to a flat, where yet another woman lived, and she had visitors. One of them was such a cute and sweet guy - he went around inviting people to a party he was about to throw that night. Came to me, too, and invited me, without knowing me. Instant crush! *sigh*. The friend of my friend was not so pleased about that - I think, she had an eye on him as well - everybody left to maybe meet again later there. I stayed with this woman living there, and she told me about how she would be so shy and how also the people with whom she talked would behave awkwardly because of it. She had a problem with her leg, it was swollen a lot, and the guy was supposedly her doctor and she called him to come back. But it wasn't him coming but somebody else, and she had put herself in the bathtub and looked gorgeous - grey mouse to photo-model transformation - but for some reason she was in the water with all her clothes - a red cocktail dress actually.
      Yeah - maybe I went to that party - but that's all I remember - was a longish thing, though, with several scenes.

      Dream #2: This was a half real, half internet discussion about atheism - partly I could talk with people in youtube videos - Christopher Hitchens among them, partly I was typing, and after waking up I could have reproduced more of the content, still. Besides the talking to youtube people a quite realistic one. What I remember is the (good) argument, that Jesus was a real person, because of the inconsistencies in the story, that it isn't streamlined enough to be a total fabrication - like where he was born (Nazareth/Bethlehem) and "only" having women as witnesses for the empty tomb etc. And that Hitchens brought his classical "celestial North Korea" line.
      I spend too much time with this topic - but not even yesterday...

      Fragment #1: I met one of my former professors and he offered me a job.

      Fragment #2: A quarrel with my mother about a dog

      My recall is rather patchy, but I did have a small lucid dream!
      Somehow I had prepared myself only for becoming lucid and merrily ignored making any actual plans for if it works, though..
      After the lucid, which was early, I did a WBTB, but had no further one from that.
      I am astonished again about so much weirdness and bizarre happenings in my NLDs - I'm usually rather a boring dreamer - having to deal with all sorts of troubles, but rather mundane ones - not so at the moment, except the last one...

      #1 LD: I felt bouncy, been running in a forest, and then there came along a lake and seeing it, I knew, that I was dreaming - so I float over the lake. Concerning quality - my all time troubles - optics were very good, but I didn't check for small details - just took in the beautiful landscape, which didn't disappear or change from getting lucid, like it often does. Because of the hovering, I didn't try haptics - maybe that's a reason for lack of realism in my dreams - that I almost always start hovering or flying right from the start. Could have touched myself of course, didn't think of it - but I have been running into complications with that in the past and wanted to steer clear of this anyway...

      I wasn't very lucid, very low and patchy real-life memory access - I hovered there, and the comp came to my mind, but the only thing I knew, was that I am supposed to do something with my hand (first three-stepper - hand through solid object).
      No RC - I usually don't RC, and it didn't come to my mind, but since I took a good look around and at my arm and all was stable, and usually it's not so nice - I would say, I stabilized this dream.

      And what did I do? I tried to partially transform - my right arm and hand into the neck and head of a swan. Why I thought, this would be a good idea - I really couldn't say... This worked up to a degree - not sure, if it counts, but I grew myself some white fur/feather mix and my hand was in one piece, fingers melted together and approximately looking like a head with beak.
      This took a lot of concentration, and I must have lost lucidity in the process, because trying to manifest eyes into it was the last I have a clear memory of...
      Shame - would I have had four eyes to see with, if it had worked just a bit further?!
      At least it was a bit more impressive than my last attempt at transformation - back then the goal was an Arctic wolf and all I had was a bit of white fur back then - this was way better, even if it sounds similarly weak...


      #1 Dream: I was on a balcony in former East Berlin, but nowadays, with a woman and we were intently trying to understand what Kim Jong-Sun (the dead one) was preaching with an old radio-receiver - Germany had been invaded by North Korea and the reason, we could get news at all was that there was a communist radio station left over from the formerly UDSSR held East Germany times. We knew that the rest of Germany like Bavaria had no clue, no "historic radio" there, and we thought about how we could inform all the public.
      But then Jong-Sun manifested on our balcony - an irate small wiry man shouting all the time, and starting to shout down from our balcony in person. German, I think, but I can't remember a thing of it.

      #2 Dream: This surely comes from watching the HBO series "The Wire" from DVD at the moment - highly recommended! Anyway - lots of junkies of various flavours came to dwell in this dream of mine, one even an actual one from the series...
      It was so - I had a new flat, just moved in - dream-sign - but it wasn't completely separated from the rest of the house - there were lots of aisles and doors and connections and the house was squatted with maybe 20 junkies as I found out later.
      First there was a little boy, who wanted to hide at my place from two guys, of whom he had stolen their weed - I'm not exactly sure, how it came about, but I befriended these two, and they introduced me to the rest of the pack, of whom I hadn't been aware, when moving in. In the end I helped them going undetected by the police and tried to generally help with health and stuff... Quite some misery in that dream - but some beautiful camaraderie, too.

      #3 Dream: I make this a dream, since I have at least two fragments of it. The other dreams have loads of stuff in between and around of what I wrote - this one is just that and silly to boot. I was back in school and for sports we had a project to practice for some sort of ballet-like performance - when I showed up, wearing a swim-suit, like we had to, the teacher took out a measuring-tape and measured my lower leg's circumference and lauded me for having lost weight! Before going there, I was with somebody in my room, searching for a suitable bag where I could put in all that I needed, or thought, I might need, and still put it over my head and shoulder, if you know what I mean. This took a while and for one thing - I had the most beautiful bags there - and secondly it was a real hassle, my stuff was all over the place, in different bags, needed to get collected together. Another big dream-sign - packing/repacking/schlepping stuff around the place with bags/rucksacks...

      #1 Fragment: My mother hadn't sold all of our real estate and house, like she did irl, but there was a little bit of meadow left, and I was planning to build myself a small hut or something on it. Another dream-sign - this house and real estate - I miss it a lot. Funny thing is, that I caught it as a dream-sign several times to get lucid - but my unconscious mind seems to have found to the insight, that it doesn't exist any more, and it's ever retreating now...


      Soo - now for this night there's going to be a lucid plan of action!!

    4. Competition Entry # 1

      by , 07-28-2014 at 11:19 AM
      A botched WBTB with drinking green tea and being unable to fall asleep again

      Dreams:

      #1: I'm hiking in the mountains with a friend, and it's getting dark, but we need to climb down a vertical wall before that, so we start, and what we find is that there is a whole ancient city built into this wall - like Petra in Jordan (was there once). It's huge but with very small buildings - like for beings of a height of maybe 15 cm. This doesn't strike us as odd - only as a great archaeological find to be partied on.
      We make it down without accident and there's a Bavarian beer place at the bottom, we meet some more friends and start drinking toasts to our discovery...

      #2: It's a work dream - won't go into too many details of that - but I have loads other details..
      I was sleeping where I worked as well, and woke up and needed to go out of my room to a common bathroom, which didn't work properly concerning the shower, and once on the loo, somebody comes in of course...
      When I get back to my room I find I left the door open a bit and my radio alarm clock blares super loudly over the long hallways, people already complaining. Then to the breakfast getting place - only lemonade left, but tasted great - to the meeting room - meeting all over and I get a row ... and so forth.
      Edit: This was a FA, most probably!

      Fragment:

      #1: Really weird one, shame there is not more context to it:
      I'm doing brain-surgery, but on a kitchen table and on a horse, the horse is conscious and comments at times.
      Somebody helps me, and to prevent bleeding, he knots together two strands of something like long translucent macaronis - good that the horse noticed, I had to unknot these, otherwise that would have been bad in some way...

    5. Rather disappointing lucid elevator dream

      by , 07-21-2014 at 12:37 PM
      From the TOTM-thread:

      Soo - I had a lucid elevator dream!
      If I was as serious as fogelbise - I shouldn't bring it on to be counted, because the elevator brought me in the void and I woke up from that.
      But I found one this time and I rode it - so I guess it counts.

      It was quite convenient to get lucid in the hall of a hotel - it worked again by noticing that I wore almost nothing, definitively not enough for this rather posh place. The TOTM came to my mind and I just needed to turn around to stand in front of an elevator with mirrored doors, which distracted me a bit. I found I can play with the reflection of me as if I could curve the mirrors - like these varieté ones, where you get fat or slim or twisted. But only the reflection changed - the doors stayed straight. That was nice. I still didn't try to blur the surface of things in the dream and paint into them and such things. I had a dress then without putting it on at some point. Yeah - so I press a button - the doors open, I go in and already I feel visuals fading but I get a button pressed and the elevator goes down - and yeah - not sure if a door actually opened or not, but I end up in the void and wake up.
      I really need to work on stability, esp. optics and duration - my motivation is seriously hampered by lack of quality...

      Rather funny - in a later dream somebody turns up stark naked and I say to a friend - look at this guy, he is naked in public, he must be a dreamer!
      I even thought about telling him so he can lucid dream, but then something else happened - shame!


      By the way - there were several instances where I became lucid by seeing our old house, which doesn't stand any more, but I dreamt of it a lot.
      But now I don't any more - seems my dreaming self found out for good - maybe one day I will always be clothed appropriately not to notice that?
      Tricky bastard of an un-con...

      I finally got lucid again as well!

      I can't remember what made me lucid, unfortunately - only that the location stayed the same - a street in Bavaria. From the TOTM thread:

      Not much - like so often I start with jumping in the air to start hovering and hover along over a street with people. Then the undress thing comes to my mind, so I hover there, horizontally maybe 3 m above ground - and rip my clothes off and shout "Ha!!" to get people's attention. It's funny - they look up and with a satisfyingly shocked expression, most of them. I revel in the fact that I can be completely exhibitionistic since it is a dream. It feels truly liberating - a quite strong and very good feeling! I then aim for a taller house where I suspect an elevator, but I don't make it there. I wake up mid-hover and without the help of a beautiful naked stranger - be s/he from here or not - that wasn't so optimal but otherwise I'm quite happy!

    7. Got to get going again - nothing overly special - but recall is recall!

      by , 07-13-2014 at 11:56 AM
      One dream had me not finding clothes to wear to school - holes in the trousers, t-shirt too small, dress dirty - wasn't about the looks primarily.
      My room was not any of my rooms but a huge disaster of having moved in not long ago and stuff hanging out of boxes or in heaps on the floor. And I was soo tired and out of energy, it all seemed to take enormous will power. When I finally made it to school I had to disrupt Latin lesson coming in, and was placed on a desk next to the teacher, facing class.
      I didn't want to disturb more, but did so anyway by trying to find a place on a table in the back. It looked like there was space, but not when I arrived. So I disturbed more people - but a real life friend of mine became inexplicably angry with me and I thought, what a bitch...
      Turned out it wasn't about me, but about how the school had given out chips for beepers, and if we wouldn't know where ours was, and went asking in the school-master's office, and it wasn't there - then we would have to pay for the loss.
      But if we didn't ask and just wouldn't have it - all would maybe be good. Strange conversation.

      Afterwards I read a sort of obituary of that teacher, but he supposedly wrote it with 110 years and still alive. About how horrible it would be to teach and how the small sister of a classmate of mine would now be doing Latin and ancient Greek and ethics class.

      Then again - I had just moved into a two-room flat, also with chaos, similar to the above. It was summer, but a cold day and I was freezing in that flat. Thought about how that would be in winter, and if it was a good idea to have moved in there - the heating was with real fire, these classical east Berlin tile ovens.
      Again I should have rather been in university but I decided to stay home and sort stuff out. Which I did, and I got pretty pleased with myself how it started looking orderly and comfortable. Even found a nice dress - just to remember that I hadn't gone back to the shop and paid for it as promised...
      There was a banjo left over from the former inhabitant and I tried it out and it wasn't bad - I thought, it would be easier to play that in front of an audience than the violin, because the latter would be closer to my face..? I used to play for a while but didn't stop because of that...
      My first boyfriend was there as well - and I only remember asking him, why we couldn't be together again (not remembering real life, not really). I forgot his reason.
      Then another disadvantage of this flat became clear - no public transportation except for a horse-drawn cart - with very slow horses. I've been trying to persuade the "driver" to motivate his lame critters - but he said they would hurt their feet on the concrete and how I was cruel to want them faster..

      Then it was about a science project with a corpse, but I forgot what we did there - or were supposed to, because something went wrong. We were thinking - what the heck to do - try to sneak it out and get a new one - not kill a person but steal a fresh corpse..?
      What went wrong? Don't know, but the corpse got more and more hollow until it was just a shell, a wisp of a shell.

      Then something weird - I really thought about this in the dream - I was watching a scene where a helicopter landed outside of an emergency-room and I thought, that the fact that one needs to physically call a helicopter in an emergency proves that there is no such thing as telepathy. Weell...

      There was more, but I got enough of typing it up now!

      Ah - but what does the Steph do every night?
      Sort stuff out and/or schlep it through the landscape..

      I have been through a lot of removals and was under way with luggage and hard pressed for time quite often irl, admittedly - but every night - come on!!?

    8. Ha! It rained lucid meteors last night! With damage!!

      by , 06-13-2014 at 02:17 PM
      Ha!
      It rained meteors last night! With damage!!



      After I first got lucid, in a building, I had to go up stairs to get out. So I flew up them, maybe 30 cm above the floor - and the quality was soo great - super-realistic.
      I touched and tasted things - the carpet on these stairs, the metal-rods, which were proper cool and I even licked them. All great - until a guy comes flying down the stairs in the opposite direction. I knew, I should better not look at him - but I did - and so forth.
      So I needed a DEILD, but this worked great - I just looked at the back of my eyelids and waited, till a dream came back optically.
      I had even moved about a bit - worked anyway. Then I imagined swimming motions - and flupp - I was back in.

      Being outside already - I took aim at a high lamp-post, and wrapped myself around it, not to be on the ground for the following action.
      It was night - I looked at the sky and commanded meteors - goddess-style - METEORS ARE COMING DOWN NOW !!
      First I thought nothing happens, but after a couple of seconds - I saw the first one.
      Then came more. All fiery balls speeding down without a sound and with the impact sites out of my sight.
      Next to my pole was a swimming-pool, and I wanted one in there - this somehow didn't happen.
      There was a telephone on the mast I clung to - and on a whim I took up the receiver and sung into it.
      Yepp - I found it sounded great - and the apparatus seemed to work as superb amplifier - that went on for a bit - I really liked my voice...Name:  redface.gif

      But then I remembered, that I need to inspect the impact sites.
      So I flew to where I had seen earth being spat up in the sky from afar.
      What I found was a longish hole in a garden, maybe some eight by two meters, and about three meters deep.
      Now I regret not having climbed down to retrieve the meteor and marvel at it. Na well.
      But the owner of the place came out of his house, lamenting about how he had just put out seeds for new flowers...Name:  cheeky.gif

    9. Unsatisfactory Lucid Meteor - Chicken-Kicker

      by , 06-06-2014 at 03:15 PM
      I can't quite remember a prior dream, except one snippet:

      I was in a forest, and on one side of the way stood small children in a row, all in white night-gown-like dress, and Jesus, similarly dressed and with pale halo, was walking past them and giving some sort of special blessing. I believe there were other religious leaders there as well, doing different blessings. It was a pretty picture. Like a Catholic devotional painting.

      Anyway - next dream - I was taking care of a store, while the owner wasn't there, and a friend of his turned up - a woman, seemingly under some sort of stress, and she asked me if I would let her in - the shop-owner would have promised her, she could store her stuff in the back.
      What she brought in was hilarious - a kicker-table with huge chickens as players and a washing machine on a leash - rolling in on its own.

      Later I was on the laptop with her - looking for night-clubs to go out to. We came upon a youtube video with recommendations, and suddenly I was in the video. That managed to make me lucid - and like usual - first I flew about a bit and enjoyed that. Then I came down and summoned a meteor for the TOTM. Optics were great this time - no problems whatsoever.

      Something of the size of a football came down from the sky, really fast, and I was pretty pleased with myself - looking forward to major catastrophic events with flood wave and earth crust igniting and whatnot.
      Nope - the thing bounced off the ground several times, and when I followed it - it was a simple harmless football.
      Damn.

    10. Finally Lucid Again With TOTM, Flying, Friend And Horse

      by , 06-02-2014 at 12:27 PM
      Again after considerable dryness - finally lucid. I woke up naturally after 4 h and thought about having a lucid dream, tried affirmations, raise expectation - the usual, but not for long.

      When I became lucid, it was after a lot of of another dream - but it held up quite long anyway.
      No loss of optics this time - what I found, is that it is good not to swivel the head about wildly but taking it slowly, bit by bit, initially. So I really raised my eyes super-slowly and all fell into place.
      Not sure, if it was a DEILD at one point, because I thought, I had woken up, everything was grey - but then I saw something in the distance again. I guess it was, but I didn't get to feel my body in bed, like usual.

      I tried the gravity RC - three times all together - worked wonderful. I just raised my arms and tried to feel their weight - and that led to them floating up, and me with them, if I wanted.

      I was in a friend's room and we talked and she showed me pictures, she had painted - then I wanted to take her out flying with me, but somehow she disappeared in the process.

      Problem is - I slept on and had another dream afterwards, without journalling the LD, and now I'm not sure anymore, how the transitions worked exactly.

      I just know, that at one point, I was on a very high roof again - like church-tower hight - did my RC and jumped and managed to get a swimming-motion free flight together. Been dropping initially, but then it worked. Just so - arms in the direction I wanted - and just so.

      While coming down, I flew over a running black stallion and came down in the saddle and rode a bit - which was great - but then somehow I lost the horse under me - flew over it again by mistake and it took off.

      When I came down, finally I thought, I should get something done for the TOTM.
      I hadn't looked it up, what they actually were - thought about all the suggestions for basic tasks, and decided that repeat day must be among them.

      My earliest ever TOTM!
      Hooded African American guy: Yo Nigger! Steph: Yo Nigger! Guy: Yo Niggger!! Steph: Yo Niggger!! Guy: Shakes his head and is off.
      It's because I watch 'The Wire' at the moment - and he started it!
      By the way - I wasn't sure, if I had to do that - and so I also mimicked his behaviour - tried to.
      I guess it must have looked hilarious, me trying to be gangsta-cool - his head-shake felt like expressing disdain at my cultural incompetence.

      Yeah - and then I stood there and thought about getting a meteor going, but somehow I lacked the confidence to go about it. And nothing much further happened.
      Still not happy with the optical quality - they used to be so brilliant, and hyper-realistic and colourful at times in the past - I want that!! It was all in a bit subdued, darkish colours.
      At least no blindness!

    11. Foundation of the World - Another Flat

      by , 05-27-2014 at 12:53 PM
      I wish I could remember it properly, but the first dream was about me and an old woman, searching for the foundation of the world at the shore of an ocean. And we found it - we dammed off the water in certain places, and dug into the sand, and after a while we found something like an iron-plate in the shape of a cut-out skyline.
      Something with it was not in order, and we were there to put it right - I can only remember helping her to keep it free from the sand and the water to analyse. I think, we did something to repair it - but I can't remember what.

      And one more Steph moves into a new flat dream.
      Man - meanwhile I'd like to know, what that is supposed to mean.
      I like our flat - must be something else behind it.
      Again a shared flat and again I was in my early 20s and there was a dream with talking to the people - one woman showed me pictures of a model-campaign of hers in a magazine, and I adored her figure. I remember details - but they are boring.
      Like us discussing, how deep down the windows should reach for it to be nicer and more light - then about at which height people could fall out - and if it costs more heating with more window space.

      Uups - now I remember it!!
      I was thinking, this is a dream - I looked out the window, and saw a quite indistinct street, expecting to see Munich - and then I thought - ah - this is okay, that's usually a bit mixed up in my dream-flats!!

      How could I forget that - how could I not react to that!!??

      People came in to visit - some guys, too - we who lived there were 3 women.
      There was also a sexual episode, me with somebody, but only harmless, and two guys started making out with each other somewhere, too. And stupid me later mentioned that - to find out that the girlfriend of one of them was present meanwhile, and not amused to hear this particular piece of information at all. I feared to have to leave the flat for that indiscretion - but it was forgotten, when we visited the neighbours:
      Like it was in at least in two other dream - one story above us was a mega flat, directly under the roof, the whole story of the house, and almost all one room, with columns and the walls a bluish tinged white. A couple lived there with small children - the guy was also the same, and I can't properly remember her. They were obviously quite rich, and we talked about that a bit and about how I miss Bavaria.

    12. Just some this and that ..

      by , 05-21-2014 at 01:44 PM
      For keeping count - night before last night was a short but not mini LD - I wrote about it in my DILD workbook.
      Again it was so that early yesterday evening my real life stress took on levels of having to deal with it, and I didn't repeat my hypnosis as planned. A bit it is also so, that I am weirdly afraid of doing it - in order not to find out, I might delude myself on it's effect. Veery stupid. I know.

      There was another interesting episode, though.
      I was told, that at the end of a tram line there would be the second zoo of Hamburg.
      And after giving it some thought I said - yeah - I've been there - and started to describe it and the partly weird animals they have there. In retrospect, it was again so that in-dream, I remembered another dream - several actually - with this zoo.
      And built it into the actual one. By that the whole scenery and context changed - no more Hamburg, but I was where I had dreamt that zoo to be before.

      I am so lazy journalling - I do go for recall upon waking up and either record on I-Phone or just think about it.
      But meanwhile I am on the hunt of this in-dream remembering of another dream as reality.
      It fascinates me.
      So that's what goes in here.

      It's no good, though, because meanwhile most 80 % of what I knew sitting in bed is gone by now.

      But this is still quite clear - was so bizarre: I had a catholic priest seminarist as a beginning boyfriend and went to his lectures with him and got into a discussion with the prof. I think we had to leave then even - for some strange reason, the guy didn't dump me, but wanted to transform theology after what I had said.
      Despite me not believing anything - I would have found out something important. Not exactly proof of god - but something almost equally impressive.
      Forgot what that was supposed to be unfortunately.

    13. Again an LD!

      by , 05-18-2014 at 02:34 PM
      Just to keep count - maybe I'll write more later.
      Early morning dream - I walk with a friend up a road and tell her about how wonderful it is to visit her and what a fantastic day - and suddenly I think - yepp - it is a dream - it can get even more wonderful!
      I told her to fly with me and we made a round over the city and decided to land on the roof of a very old cathedral.
      It has stone sculptures and little scenarios as decoration and a huge cupola, we landed on. It's fun to explore the roof. All white marble and the figurines and a bit of blackening at decorative places. Beautiful.
      I am shortly afraid jumping from the roof but only very shortly - I jump and fly but loose optics and wake up then.
      It was at the end of a long dream.
      Shame - the plan was to go down into the church and hold a concert there maybe.

    14. Dreaming of Having a Shared Dream!

      by , 05-14-2014 at 11:51 AM
      Did my hypnosis session - and at least I dreamt of dreaming and the forum, even. And I have much more recall than usual - the below is by far not everything.

      Crazy stuff - first I dreamt being at work with a friend from uni - and there was a scene, where I was in a conference room and got angry and threw my bag out of the window. With my camera in it and important paperwork.
      Not much more from that dream - just that one needed a token to use the elevator, and if several people use one, you threw the extra tokens into a box. I threw mine, while she didn't have one and we took the stairs, and she told me, her unhappy love-story from years past had shown up again, and how she would suffer.

      That was one dream - then the next one went on for a while and then it came to me telling people, that I would have dreamt last night of throwing my bag out of a window. A friend of mine goes - yes!! I have dreamt of you doing that as well - how stupid - out of the 23rd story-window and your camera was in it - and she knew more details.
      Me - noo - it was only the third - got to go look for it..
      And then it dawned on me - that sounds as if we had a shared dream!!
      I thought about going on the forum and opening a puzzled thread - and explained to my friends, why I think, it can't work, and that I needed to search for a rational explanation, but couldn't for the life of me see one with all the details.
      Stupidly, it didn't strike me as a strange idea to go around the hospital and search the ground for my bag - nobody knew where exactly that room had been.
      It wasn't possible to access the ground around it so easily, so I got into a belated Christmas market in the middle of summer and other obstacles. And got woken up while still searching.

      Something quite similar had happened to me before:
      In a dream came a memory of having had a dream with exactly the (unfamiliar irl) setting of the actual dream - and my conclusion was - that prior one must have been a precognitive dream!

    15. Flatlining for Children in Need - Illegal Activities in Class - A Birthday Mini Party

      by , 05-13-2014 at 03:16 PM
      I did a proper WBTB - but only after only 2.5 h sleep, because I woke up naturally then, and felt weirdly awake. So I stayed up for half an hour and tried for WILD quite a longish while - maybe even half an hour - but then rolled over and slept and no LD.
      So today I do a hypnosis session once more and combine with another, later WBTB.
      If that then works - I know, that hypnosis has it's part in it. My latest 2/3 LDs were connected to doing it.

      Just to get into journalling again - three fragments/parts of dreams:

      I was with friends from work and a woman told me, that there would be a huge charity event, and if I wanted to take part.
      Her husband and other doctors were putting on a show to gather money for children in need by -
      flatlining themselves!! Bringing their hearts to a stop (medically) and leaving it so for 5 min. before reanimation.
      I was horrified and tried to keep them from doing it - told them what all could happen - how mad I find it.
      But they did it anyway and nobody died.

      Another scene had me in school and a friend from university was there, too - and suddenly she takes out a mirror and a straw and some white powder - again me scampering to prevent her from doing that in the middle of class, whatever it supposedly was. That's a new one - don't think I ever dream of drugs normally - at least I don't remember it, but there's nothing to inspire such anyway - just to make that clear.

      Another fragment was me having birthday and coming home with some friends of mine, and my mother had prepared such a food-pyramid-tray - don't know how to call that in English - and it was full of nuts and sweets and for some reason, I can see it clearly and in detail, when I remember it - there are always some picture-impressions, which stick for no obvious reason at all. Then there was a little bit of a festivity in an old childhood room, which was even smaller than it used to be, and we had trouble fitting in. Then we were chatting and eating. Na well.
