All DJ Entries

All my dreams lately are directly inspired by something that happened that day... This time, I was looking at the ingredients in my Trader Joe's hemp protein powder with a lady friend a few hours before bed. Which caused the following malarkey to happen in my head:

A farmer friend of mine, whose animal-raising facility was entirely indoors, suffered a crop failure that killed the plants with which he fed his livestock. He was distraught. I recommended that he started growing hemp indoors as feed, and reluctantly he agreed. He was convinced that the solution would be neither practical, long-term, nor cost effective. But I showed him wrong!

We pulled out the dead plants that lined the rows of his animal enclosure, and replaced them with hemp. The animal enclosure soon became some sort of luscious hemp jungle. The animals, who were at first just as distraught as the farmer, came to life with joy. They loved the look and taste of hemp. They even started talking. (The animals were HUGE by the way, at one point it kind of freaked me out.) I even befriended a giant snake. Towards the end of the dream, I stayed late after the farmer left so that I could hang out with the giant snake and a giant pig friend I had made; but the farmer came on the overhead all-call and needed to know if anybody was still inside. Unfortunately I had to leave.


In another small fragment, I remember being on one of my dad's old school campuses, either his High School or college, holding in my hand a picture of him when he was my age.

This was definitely an odd dream. The dream started with me having the ability to influence animals, and being hired by different zoos to help with their animals. After a while, I stopped being hired for some reason, and was breaking into a theme park zoo thing. Somehow, I was shot up into the sky, and was falling towards a pit of lava. For some reason, I had a magical bone that I used to stop me from dying when I hit the ground. Later, using the bone, I wreaked havoc on the people who didn't hire me. Yeah, a really, really weird dream.

Okay, I should have written this down right when I woke up, since I can't remember much now, but it kind of disturbed me in my half-asleep state, even though it doesn't make any sense, so I didn't, lol.


I was on some kind of mission with E and K and possibly some others in this field area with paths through long grass. Something happened to K, she got hurt or something, and so I had to...put her inside these small pastry type things? They were spherical and about 3 inches in diameter, they reminded me a lot of risotto balls, the appearance and taste. When I looked at them I could sort of taste them, or knew exactly what they would taste like.

Anyway, I'm not sure how exactly I, er, divided her up amongst them, but somehow I had to put her in them in order to take her home and help her. :| It switched then to being in my kitchen with E and maybe someone else, and I was just taking the tray of risotto ball things out of the oven. I placed it on the counter and started breaking them open, and all of them had these weird black smudges in the middle. Then people started wondering where K was, and it slowly dawned on me that I was supposed to put her in them after I cooked them. Yeahhh.

Now at this point the scenario was sort of switching back and forth between it being K in the balls (lol) and it being my cat that I had put in there. My mom called from the living room, "I haven't seen Peaches today." D: I was getting really scared, though everyone else was still really confused about what happened, and I was desperately trying to think of an excuse or someone else to blame the incident on lol, but I soon realized there was no way I could.

I guess I had a false awakening sort of at this point, because suddenly I was in my room with E and L, telling them about the dream.


I woke up craving risotto balls and went and got some, even though the image in my head of them full of guts isn't exactly appetizing. :|

I can only remember a couple fragments from last night.

- I was talking to my mom about a pet penguin she had. She sent her penguin to a special school for penguins, and she was telling me how whenever you wanted to go into the school, which you had to do to pay fees, you had to wear a penguin suit. She was saying how ridiculous that rule was.

- I was in my living room, looking out the window, when someone knocked on the door. I didn't answer, but a few seconds later, a small old man wearing round glasses and a baby pink t-shirt popped up outside right in front of me, and started knocking on the window and waving.

The second one may have something to do with the fact that I never answer the door when I'm home alone and I'm always afraid the person will look in the window. x:

I think I slept quite deeply which is why my dreams weren't very clear. When I woke up it was one of those mornings where it felt like I'd been away for a really long time, like I'd been asleep for years. (Fortunately it had only been 6 hours.)

Hours of sleep: 11 (!)
Vividness: 4/5
Recall: 2/5

I'm flying around the land in a plane or something. It seems that this plane is really small and there is just room for two guys. We fly around and we are looking for something. I'm the copilot and look at the RADAR. There is something approaching us.
I scream: It's coming towards us!
I see there is a dragon flying with high speed towards us. The pilot makes a looping to avoid it but it gets touched by the back of the dragon. We get heavy turbulences. We fly through the sky, doing the weirdest flight-manoeuvres to avoid or attack the dragon. The plane gets near ly destroyed, the pilot dies and I get out by a parachute.
I'm in a sort of plane, half dessert. I meet some African people. They are building some fences against an army who will attack them in a few minutes or so. I leave the pace with a Jeep and I end up in a city, that reminds me of my home-town.
It's a bit weird cause now the surroundings are covered with forest as in real life.
I have a map and search for the place on it. I know that they are some evil teenager who are looking for the treasure as well to gain more power.
So I get involved in a race, there is a DC joining me. We go towards the forest, taking the train as blind passengers. When we finally get to place, the evil teenagers appear. They are driving a car, but it's made of paper. They have the treasure (but I don't know what it was) and we get into a fight. I attack the car who starts to drive, and I easily demolish this shitty car. So they cannot use their car any more. I manage to capture those bastards. We ban them through a portal or something like that.
After our revenge, I want to put the treasure back or even better destroy it. But my partner doesn't want to, because we could present us as savers against the evil so we get a lot of attention, a lot of money and a lot of women. I'm tended by this idea but I manage to explain him why we can't. So we finally destroy the treasure, but I don't know how.

We get back ad we are in school. There is a class and the students there ask us where we have been. My partner wants to tell something, I feel that he wants to talk about or adventure, but he ends up saying:

DC partner: Well nothing special. we forgot some stuff at home and the train was late. As usual

I'm happy that he says that. A teacher gets in and starts class

A bit weird, even for my standards

Hours of sleep: 7
Recall: 1/5
Vividness: 3/5

I performed a WILD last night. Got completely wrong It made me at first 1h to fall asleep so I fall asleep around 00:30. The alarm clock went for 05:40 and perform a WBTB for 30 minutes, read over my DJ, perform every 7 minutes a RC. I went to bed and performed WILD, but found no good position to fall asleep. My back and my shoulder were hurting all the time and it seemed that I was to long awake to go back to the sleep. I failed WILD and fell asleep normally. But I awoke every half an hour, because here was a lot of trouble going at home: my elder brother went to work and was really noisy, my mother called my other brother that he doesn't go to late at high-school, and around 7 am the workers start to work on the construction site near our house.

So it's no surprise that I just remember one dream

I'm in a field near a wood or something like that. I want to take my car, but there is a farmer who seems to be in trouble: He has a group of dears stuck in his parcel and some of them are trapped in the barbedwire. I ask him if I could help him and he says yes. As I approach the dears grow up to 3 meters and look very aggressive. They have red eyes and kind of sharp teeth. The farmer dissappears. I ran away and hide in the near wood and I see how those killer dears panic, cut themselves wit the the wire and start attacking each other. They finally breach out but there is 5 Meter high gorilla attacking the creatures. He ends up tangled in some lianes and gets hanged.

I awoke because of the alarm clock. I was kinda disturbed cause it's been a while I had a nightmare.

Hours of sleep: 8
Vividness: 3/5
Recall: 1/5

Background: The dreams take place in France, Brittany in a small sea-town. I go there on holiday since I'm 6.


1. I'm on the beach. It's summer and I'm in my holiday. I don't remember if it was hot outsides, but there was bue sky. I walked a bt on the beach and stopped in front of some rocks. There is water trapped between them and I look at it to see if there were animals trapped inside. I do this everytime when I' on a beach . I saw some snails and two little fish, nothing spectacular. After a minute or so something appeard. It started to pray on the snails. At first I thought it was a crab or something like that. An DC appeared next to me.

Me: Have you seen that thing in the water?
DC: I don't know what you are referring to...
Me: look there under the rock

There were a few crabs walking toward the minicave under the rock but the something appeared. Now it looked like a snake, but it has feet too.

DC: What the hell?
Me: I think I know what this is. In the sea live some worm-like animals. They usually live in seaweed and pray o small animals. But his exemplar here is one of the bigger species.
DC: Quite impressing! We should catch it to sow some scientist. Maybe it's rare
Me: I wouldn't touch it, it's maybe poisonous.

2. I'm in the same region but now I'm in the port of the city. Surprisingly there is a friend of mine here and some other people. I don't remember who it was and t seems to me there was another friend too. We take a boat and there is a coach also there. We drive to a small bay which is very close to the port. There are a lot of waves. I walk around the boat without falling or something, I just walk naturally. All the other characters are in trouble and they can't walk without slipping or hurting. I manage to drive a bit the boot away from the cliffs we were slowly approaching.

Coach: You are terrific sir! It seems that we have a natural navigator here!
Me: I'm very used to this sea, so it wasn't difficult for me. In addition I'm seriously thinking of making the driver licence for boat!

Boat.... There was something with boat.... I remember that I was talking somewhere else about boats and such stuff.I think about it a bit and I remember a sentence: "You can drive drunk a boat, but it's not allowed for cars!" I get a flashback and I remember talking to a classmate during a party. He told he did the licence and that he went a lot to South France to drive there and to party on the boat. I'm a bit confused. I'0m certain that this memory has something to do with this scene. Wait a minute... How did I manage to get on a boat?

I awake. Well close to get lucid

2Night I took some 5-htp supplements. Which resulted in a good deep sleep. I must have forgotten to put my alarm for WBTB cus I slept 10 hours straight.

Remember a dream fragment tho ; I was on this forum, reading the advanced serial dreaming RPG thread and I posted that i wanted to hear more about Wakingnomad's Denn dreams.

Then he posted something back something like ; "Yeah, well that's too bad ! I asked someone else I didn't ask you anything"


Somewhere last week i had some sick hallucination. I just have to post this lol.

I was trying to just get to sleep and I guess i was starting to get into SP. Suddenly i felt myself thinking about snakes. I thought to myself ; man probably gonna turn into a snake now
And yup.. a few seconds later i lost feeling of my own body. My arms where gone, my tongue was longer. I felt the inside of my body turn completely hollow. My skin felt thicker and thicker more like leather. I was feeling 5 times heavier than normal. I stuck my imaginary tongue out kinda like a snake and i wiggled about moving like a snake. I did this purely by instinct.
Normally when i get some animal hallucinations i can feel their feelings. A snake doesn't feel much. I just had a strong urge to go kill stuff and feed myself.


About at the point when my body turned hollow i started to get scared. I didn't want to be a snake. When i started moving like a snake i forced myself awake. Got out of bed and immediatly moved my arms to check if they are still there. Luckily they where... i don't ever wanna turn into a snake again, atleast not for now man.. it's scary.

I was walking around the yard of my old neighborhood. It was a searing hot summer day. I walked to the end of the road surrounding the houses, and I saw two animals laying in the sun, unresponsive. They looked kinda like smaller, thinner beavers without the flat tail, instead they had a normal one. One of them was a grown up one, the other one was half the size. I assumed it was parent // child. I took the animals and put them in the shade. I viewed them for five minutes and left. A while later, I came back to the yard to see what was happening. Apparently, the two had reincarnated into new bodies. Still remaining the same species and having the same age diffrence between the two animals though. So I asked them to follow me, they were confused. (Apparently these were sapient animals, and could also talk) They asked me "Why?". I told them I had something important to tell them.

So I sat with them on one of the porches and explained to them what had happened. Apparently they were grateful. Somehow I just simply knew that these were the same animals. They were younger and had a light brown fur instead of a dark brown to black one, but they still were the same.

For what they were grateful, I don't know anymore. In the dream I suppose I knew the reason. But now that I'm awake, it's unclear. Did I ease their suffering? Did I save them from dying? (Obviously not). What were they grateful for?

1. I'm talking about traffic density with one of my brother's classmates, Sam S. We have a nice visual aid as we discuss, a projected map of Earth with different traffic patterns as different colors. There are black/white and red/blue modes that show routes of transit quite clearly. Sam gives the example of dogsled races as an unforseen variable that brings lots of traffic to untraveled areas, and illustrates this with the map. The display changes to a 3-D view, showing the swath of tree destruction caused by tourists to the races. Obviously I'm disturbed by this, so I get my family to travel to Alaska to check it out.

Transition to outside the home of one of Alaska's most prominent breeders. We talk about the science of breeding; for whatever reason my parents call heritable traits "actions." Conveniently, the breeder has a poster that's basically an illustrated Punnet square for nose shape, with each genotype's phenotype shown and discussed. My dad talks about technique, and speaks of backcrossing by "taking the best female dog and getting offspring with her son."

We continue to walk to the breeder's backyard; I feel a cool breeze quite vividly. Finally we see the breeder, who is on a deck high above us. He pays us no notice, as he's managing an owl on his shoulder with an unusually big head. He releases the bird, and as it flies down to earth it seems to grow larger. It's practically human sized as it hits the ground in the neighboring yard. This belongs to an apartment complex, and two pretty girls clad only in towels giggle (and maybe flash us) as we look up at them. I comment to myself that it must be cold up there, but the owl has my attention. I marvel at the breeder and say "I want to be the guy!" My dad smirks and says, "You probably already are." Dream ends, but that's probably the best dialogue recall I've had in a long time.

2. I'm playing a Terminator 3 arcade game. It's quite high-tech, with Kinect type technology, but it keeps glitching and showing the body recognition data instead of the game proper.

ok, so i had no recalls on night 2- probably due to exam stress. Also, a day late posting this, since i was a bit busy yesterday

DREAM STARTS

We are travelling by car to a coastal town somewhere in the north of england. There is an unknown woman in the car with us, holding a device that looks like an ipad, but much larger (about the size of an A3 sheet of paper) This isn't working correctly; the screen is glitching out, throwing up random swirls of colour. Upon arrival, we enter a shop, which, although looking fairly large on the outside, is actually my local cornershop on the inside.
The device then tells us to go to a fictional island; We boarded a ship, but i have no further recollection of the journey, which takes several days. When we arrive, everyone I was travelling with has disappeared, except for the stranger. Her device tells us that we need to go back home. She then turns into a spanish woman; I didn't recognise her, but was friends with her, apparantly. The device has gone.
The dream then changes, and I'm watching a documentary about dangerous animals. There is a clip of a snake attacking a man, but the snake has many rows of very large teeth, similar to a shark. The attack is quite graphically violent. A series of other animals is shown, becoming increasingly more unlikely, until the narrator is standing next to a cage, feeding the animal inside it. The camera angle changes, and i see that the animal is a cockatrice.

DREAM ENDS.

Ok, so slightly more vivid than night 1. My attempts to MILD failed, as did my WILD attempt upon waking- This, however, was met with marginally more success than usual- I started feeling heavy, as if i was partially into Sleep-Paralysis, and i was getting occasional random images. Nothing approaching a dream, of course, but.. an improvement, surely?

Weird dream about eagle boys pizza. The beginning of the dream is unclear, but I'm sure I was in an Eagle Boys pizza, which was more like a Hogs Breath Cafe restaurant on the outside, and inside. It was some kind of school excursion, perhaps. I was using my school laptop to try and access their webpage to get information - perhaps on the llama, but the internet wasn't working or the website didn't have the information. The page looked something like a router settings page. We were discussing something at the table, I think it was about animals, in specific, pigs?

I remember discussing with a curly haired male - reminiscent of one of my friends about the signature of the Llama which was the security guard of the restaurant. I remember having passed the restaurant in a bus at the time, and trying again to get information about the restaurant on their website.

Notes
Went to bed at 8pm, woke up at 5:30am. Heard the music in my dream, but as often happens when I'm lucid half-sleeping, I could not hear the words and though I knew it was the sound of my alarm clock, felt it a good idea to ignore it and incorporate it into my dream instead. I have horrible judgement when I'm sleeping. My dream self never wants to go to school. Eventually woken up by my mom around 6am. First lucid in a little more than a week.

Entry 008
I find myself in the city. I'm lucid, but as usual, I don't attempt to control the dream. I allow myself to become involved in the storyline. I see Clemens and a mixture of people from my journalism class and people from my February trip. I realize that this dream will in a way mimic that trip. The city is a mix of Vienna, Budapest and the place I live now. There are modern skyscrapers with quaint European shops and homes squished in between. At once I see museums and horse drawn carriages and then I see glass and steel buildings at another minute. We're told to go off on our own, like we were often told in Vienna. I go on a little excursion. Somehow I end up in someone's house with a grey horse, named Grani over the horse in Sigurd, the Volsung. I'm feeding the horse in metal bowl.

Clemens comes for me. Free time is over. We end up in a low ceilinged building, kind of like a club and a hobbit hole mixed together. We're sitting at long tables eating, watching some kind of entertainment at the front. After we eat, we see a glass enclosed arcade inside. I watch from outside as some people play DDR or sing karaoke. I watch Clemens fail horribly at DDR and decide I want to play. When I try, though, the symbols on the screen are gibberish and the arrows on the pad don't work correctly. I'm kind of disappointed, dream self and lucid self, so I decide to leave.

When I walk outside, the whole city now appears to be made out of quilted toilet paper. Also, the old European charm has vanished. If it were not for the entire city being made of toilet paper, it would look just like the main street of the city I live in now. I walk around for a bit past some familiar structures like the huge mall until I come to what looks like a ramp leading down into a parking garage. I go down. It's not a parking garage, it's the lobby of a bank. Go figure. I decide to set up an account. I'm sweating; For some reason I'm really nervous my mom is going to find out I'm setting up a bank account.

At this point the music from my alarm clock interrupts my dream. Consciously I realize that this is my alarm clock, but I won't allow myself to get up just yet. I don't know why, but the music comes through to me without any words, only instrumentals. This gets interpreted by my dream self as some kind of new super power. The ability to remove the words from songs. What an amazing ability.

I wake up.

Notes: 'Warning' and 'UKJp' stemmed from my hobbies, mainly being involved with fanfic in fandom, both English and Japanese.

I recorded all these with my iPod Touch by hooking up my earbuds, opening the voice recorder app and just clicking the record button whenever I woke up with a dream! It worked beautifully. Before, I was struggling with getting anything more than keywords down so this is an exciting breakthrough.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

04.16.2011

Warning (Non-lucid)

Mom was about to read a fanfic. There was a column of something online, but later there were three. There were warnings on the link titles at the top of the columns, you had to hover to read them. It wouldn't show them though, it would just show the title of the link. So I went into the source code to find it but it was all in Japanese. I found the line of English, and it had a word with a colon plus the warnings. It said that the story had scat, though I remember thinking that it wasn't quite that. I tried to warn her but she got angry at me. It was like the dreams where we fight or she's crazy. I cried but she didn't care. Honestly I just wanted to help, I didn't mean anything by it. I think this somehow involved my sister, like mom was looking over this for her.

Beach Contest (Non-lucid)

Me, my sister and my aunt were going to the beach for some kind of challenge that was going on. When we went we were worried that it wasn't actually going on then but what we saw when we got there reassured us. Even though I think it had something to do with there being more people, there actually wasn't that many there.

We're walking along the beach and there's feces on the ground. I think I point it out. My aunt starts running ahead and me and my sister run after. I try to avoid the feces but my sister doesn't at first. There's a dog running ahead of us, probably the one making the mess, and I get the feeling it's ours. It was a light brown and reminds me of a mini Cerberus from Eyeshield 21. XD We kind of halfheartedly call out after it.

I know at some point we go to a picnic table. My aunt gets up on the bench to the right and starts dancing. I get up on the top and notice some type of canopy overhead. I decide to leave the spot for my sister, though I worry how she'll stand without hitting her head. I go to the left bench to dance.

There are peanut butter M&Ms, but I point out to my aunt how weirdly shaped they are. They were big and kind of mutated. I think there was another kind of candy and we were trading, or she reached over and ate a piece of mine.

At some point there were these guys, part of the contest and against us, I remember seeing them in the water. I was shy but my sister went up to talk to them. Apparently there was this gum stuff keeping us together and it came off. I was shocked and swam really fast after her, though I hesitated for a second because in RL I can't swim and the water there seemed deep. But I had no trouble in the dream. My aunt was somewhere behind us. I remember the gum stuff got stuck to somebody's leg and I didn't want to pull it off because it'd hurt.

I was able to see myself, at least my face, as if from the sky. My hair was shorter, maybe a bit over my shoulders. It was dry from having been wet, and had my blond streak in it. I think I looked younger.

UKJp (Non-lucid)

England x China, fanfic chapters 1, A, 2 and 3. Deja vu.

April 13, 2011

Notes
Went to bed at midnight, woke up at 5:30 am. Got up too quickly, forgot dream, started to get ready, remembered dream again in shower. Another dream about my dog Riley who is back at home with my grandparents until we move back. Motifs of rain, cold, unwanted responsibility, failure, strange adventures and travel. Typical dream for me.


Entry 001
I am in a classroom, but really it is more like a kitchen than anything. Big industrial sinks line one wall of the room, big floor length windows line the other. Despite all the windows, it is unusually dark, and no one seems inclined to turn on the lights. One half of the room, the one I stand in now, is the one with all the sinks and the other half is just bookshelves and an assortment of pillows and beanbags scattered over a large, plush area rug. There is an old fashioned type blackboard at the far end of the room. The bell rings. Burell comes to me and tells me I'm not to go to the pillows/beanbags part of the room today because, since I'm a good student, he has a special task for me. Some other students drag in two big plastic storage containers. The first one is filled with grey, soapy water and the second is filled with... naked mole rats.

Burell tells me they're class pets and he's trusting me and the other students to wash them and get them settled. I start to wash them in the soapy water, but for some reason that hairless skin becomes incredibly slippery when wet. Several slip out of my hands and fly across the room, scuttling behind desks and disappearing forever. I'm disappointing Burell. Feeling ashamed at my performance, I go to catch some of the loose ones. They all evade me but for one which actually jumps into my waiting arms.

I leave the school. My mom has Riley, my dog, with her. After enduring months in some horrible kennel for pets being sent overseas, she's finally with me. I take her up in my arms and we go "home". Home turns out to be a hotel. We're travelling again, and my parents are away on some other business trip, leaving me and Riley the hotel room to ourselves. The hotel is grand, with victorian decor and distinctive red striped wallpaper.

With Riley still in my arms I walk though the store in the hotel's lobby, but I'm only doing this out of courtesy. I'm bored. It's already late, but I don't care. I take Riley with me and, against the advice of the concierge, leave. There's this truck outside towing this kind of large metallic cage. Apparently this is some kind of bus/temporary shelter for homeless and impoverished people. I get inside with my dog. It's freezing. I feel depressed. I bring my big blue jacket in close and zip Riley inside with me, her head laying on my chest. I pull up the fur hood, sit down on the floor and rest my head against the bars of the cage, watching the world pass by. I realize half way through that, for some reason, I have no pants on. The cold is biting.

By the time I get off back at the hotel, it's very late. As soon as I enter the hotel I'm scolded by the head concierge, a severe looking woman in black pencil skirt, matching blazer and tight bun that I've acted inappropriately and that the police are coming to give me a fine. If I don't pay, I will be arrested. Somehow, I'm apathetic. I go to the parlor, curl up on an old armchair and watch the grey sky outside pour down in sheets.

I awaken.
