All DJ Entries

I go to a grocery store. There's many empty shelves. I look at some donuts closely. Really want to buy one, but I manage to stop myself. Julia from university is selling these pastries. She's also eating one. We have a short chat, apparently there's a new donut hitting the shelves tomorrow. The name of it was confusing me.

Scene changes, I'm at my childhood home and plan to interview someone in their dream. I have a DC in on this with me. Suddenly I'm interviewing the person. I pick something from the table and tell them it's a tarot card deck. I'm going to tell tell them their future. The black deck keeps changing when I look at it. I expected this, because I know I'm in a dream. But I still believe the previous dream to be real, so I still act like the person I was in that dream and not myself. I have no memory of my actual lucid dream goals or my actual waking life, so I don't feel lucid and wouldn't call this a lucid dream.

When I look up from the cards again, the scene has changed. I'm sitting in the living room and the person I'm interviewing is outside, under the apple trees. I pick a card. It's a queen in a long dress sitting on a fancy chair. There's a dark box under the art and a line of text. "Lust..." I only read the first word. The text wasn't going to help with my BS. I place the card face down on the table and lie what it was. I ask the person what their worst moment with their parents was. Just came up with that on the spot, I didn't even know what to ask.

While they were answering, suddenly they disappeared, leaving only clothes behind. I look around me for my DC partner, another pile of clothes like some odd scarecrows. They had woken up. I saw a wave of energy hit me and I woke up too. These strange scarecrows were still around. I tried to hide them before they guy I was interviewing would see them.

Fell asleep at: 1:00 AM

Woke up at: 5:00 AM



Dream:

I'm in my Chemistry class. My teacher is sitting at his computer, you'll find out what that entails in a second.

My old friend-turned-acquaintance JJ is sitting to my right, incessantly complaining about....something. He's alsonot doing the assignment at hand, instead making one of those paper fortune-telling things. He directs his ire over to the teacher and doesn't. Shut. UP.


I HAVE to tell him something.


I tell him something along the lines of "Dude, shut the hell up. That's the FIFTH fucking time you said that. Be quiet, show some respect, and do your freaking work." Oddly enough, the class doesn't respond, but he sure does. He says something like, "How can I respect a teacher that can't freaking teach? Playin' games n' shit, damn..." See, in real life, my Chemistry teacher is, well, kind of a shy, bumbling newbie. During the course of his time at the school, everybody's been giving him crap. This carried over quite spectacularly into the dream.


Anyway, this sent me over the edge, but I know better than to act on emotion or instinct. I tell him, "It doesn't matter. He's the teacher, you're the student, so let him teach."


And just after I say that, my brother walks inside the classroom and hands me some car keys. I don't know exactly why he did this, and the dream ended shortly after that, but that wasn't what was important.


NOTES:

1. The same thing happened today during class. My classmates were actively taunting the teacher, one of them got especially unreasonable, and I told her off. No, I didn't cuss to such an extent as here. God, they're annoying.... Er, sorry, rant mode.

2. I think this is one of the few times I ever completely acted like myself in the dream. To be honest, this dream was kind of therapeutic. I don't even know if I was lucid or not, it was that accurate.

Walking

Had a dream about walking my dog in Chilliwack. My vision zooms out and I see that I have dyed light green hair. For some reason I am excited about it.

strange

FA, I'm in a bedroom that I feel is in Bjork's house. I'm watching a TV where there is a show about a half retarded black woman with a microphone in front of her and she can't even say words just makes goofy sounds and faces.

In front of me on the bed are strewn notebooks of Bjork's her dream journals. I leaf through one and find she dreams abut pokemon a lot. At least there are lots of drawings of pokeballs.


I leave the house and wind up at Gary's house. In there is a woman like the one I seen on TV. and the people around her are wondering where she came from. I go to leave and outside the glass door I see bjork coming down the street, I open the door and say referring to the weird woman, "TV executives hired her for something." That's all I say I walk past bjork but she hardly acknowledges me.

We were on a field trip and one of my friends that had traveled to America was there. (In the dream though he said that he just got back from Canada). All around me are some teachers but they are leaving. He gives me a hug and continues hugging me until i pull away and tell him we can't hug now. (In my school if you hug someone of the opposite sex you get suspension
) So he stops. When we go outside, we walk and we talk for a bit. After all the teachers leave i tell him that i have no problem hugging him and that the only reason i told him to stop hugging me is so i wouldn't get suspended. So he looks around to make sure that their aren't any teachers and then gives me a longer hug. We sit on a bench and we keep talking and one of my friends come up to us and sits with us and says "I know i'm being a third wheel" so i give her the get lost look and she still goes "I know this is awkward" and she makes no move to get up and she says "I can stay here for hours". Right now i'm proper pissed off at her and then i wake up in my dream. Then i don't remember what happened but then i woke up for real.

Today I tried to be more conscious about my dream and tried a few new things. For more detail, visit my workbook

Episode 1

I am in a bar or something, it really looks old, maybe medieval or something. There were some Vikings in it, or some warriors or something. It was really strange. The scenery was so strange n bizarre, that I got conscious about this silliness. I was like: Yeah what ever, this is really silly but I might as well play the game and surrender to this craziness.
There was a guy talking to me. He wanted to talk to a person in the bar, but he couldn't for one reason or another. I said:

- Hey man, you have to talk here really "special", so that it works.

I shouted to a viking wearing a strange mask made of steal. I don't recall exactly what I talked (I recalled this early in the morning half asleep) but I was talking really old-fashioned English, insulting him, talking really ... like Conan the Warrior lol.

The conversation got to the point where the Viking insulted the guy I talked to at the beginning. He said that he had stolen his "magic mirror sword", which broke into 7 pieces. Then he corrected him self, he was remembering that someone else stole it and hide it at several places around. We should go and look for it or we got in some "trouble where would rather die at the place instead of waiting till it's over" (whatever he meant by it).

Still buying the strangeness of the scenery I went out of the bar.

But something changed. The "feeling of surrealness" I had vanished a bit, so that I wasn't doing things to consciously.

I was standing in a mall again. I still searched for the pieces of this mirror sword. I wanted to go to the third floor, but instead to take the stairs or the elevator, I took some kind of carousel. I remember in detail how it looked like.

Imagine those inflatable castle for kids where they jump in. Imagine it 30 meters (33 yards) long and wide, and 6 meters (19 feet) high. It was shaped like a vulcano. On every side there were 6 tunnels leading to the top. In each tunnel there was some kind of moving floor. There was also a rope in it to grip yourself in it. The tunnels were really narrow, so that only a small kid could get inside.

I didn't think that much about it and went into one tunnel. Instead of leading me to top of the volcano, it took me to the 3 floor. This makes logically speaking no sense at all.

So I could simply go on looking for the pieces. I realized I had some machine on my back, which had some wires. those wires directly lead into my spine. I feel how they give me electric impulses. I'm in pain and try to get ride of it.
So I go into a restaurant in this mall. I "hang my back up on the hat stand". I struggle to get it off (the wires and stuff). It takes really long. In the meantime there comes a waiter. He's really old. He asks me what I'm doing here and if he could help me. I explain to him the situation and he leaves.

Suddenly there comes a girl I know which I find really annoying. I don't like her at all, cause she's always talking stupidly about things and she is a really awkward person. I get pissed off.

She says:

- Oh hi there. You know what? We got teamed up to find those things you are looking for. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. I don't even know what we would look for. You know, this organization of the university is really shitty.

She kept on talking I got really angry about it. Why me? Why now? Please leave me alone ...

There came another team made of three people I know also. I don't like them either, because they think they are at the top of everything. They are ripping the plants out of the pots to look inside if they don't find anything.

- Haha, the stupidest of the three said, I bet nobody got this idea!

But they don't find any. I'm feeling really helpless. I'l teamed up with a bimbo, I have wires attached to my bag and I don't have found any piece.

My "team-mate" isn't there anymore and I manage finally to get the wires of. I feel a bit relieved and move around the mall. I go to some shops to find the pieces. But I don't find anything. I lose interest of the search which started in an awesome way.

I meet again the bimbo. She is annoyed and keeps on talking and talking, but I don't listen to her. She finishes speaking finally.
I'm reacting in typical Yossarian-fashioned way. I lift my thumb over my shoulder and say to her with an harsh and uncaring face: Screw!
She looks at me and doesn't understand what I am talking about. I emphasize it more:

- Eehhh, I don't care!

She looks really angry than sad. She doesn't know what to say, so she says nothing and finally leaves me the fuck alone.

I walk away and leaving her alone.

I can't recall what happened next. I quickly wrote some taglines when I woke up after this first dream.

I recall something about being in a garden or something, I have a broken leg and I'm walking with crutches. My brother is in a roll-chair and we have some kind of argument

Episode 3

Why episode 3? Well, in between the 2 episodes, there should be an other dream sequence. But after I woke up from it, I forgot to write it down

Anyway, I don't recall it that great as my first dream sequence. I remember a lot of fragments which I can't match together. There was also a brief lucid moment (I think), but It was more like a daydream after I woke up.

a) I'm in a water fun park. A few friends of mine are there also. We are playing cards, but i can't remember where we played. I think it was on a raft or something. There came two other guys who looked like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They had "normal" voices and were talking, like the rest of us in Icelandic. They took a lot of space on the raft, so that I had to make place so that I nearly well of it.

b) I'm a background dancer of a singer. It is on the same place as before. I look really different. It's like I was in another body or something. I was dancing around really stupidly.

c) I and a few friends of mine are waiting for something. i don't know what we were waiting for. I recall that there was something about a guy named Carlos, that we didn't know/or made up to annoy people.

d) That's the part where I had some day-dream-ish experience

We are still at the same place as before (the Carlos part). It was a grand square. Around were some old houses. The sky looked gray. It looked like I was in Brussels once again.

We are talking about our lives and how strange and stupid they seemed at times. There was a big pannel in the middle, which showed the one standing in front of, which "statistics" in his life happened and in what way they were linked to another. Teere were 3 spaces on it where I could read:

Relationship status:
Age:
Greatest Regrett:

One after another we stood in front of it to find it out. I discovered that I was in a relationship with one of the girls. My best friend had the same discovery. The two of them were talking about it and how strange all this episode was.

This puzzled me a lot. Like really alot. I tried to recall, when I was in a relationship with her. In that waterpark? NO, impossible. Where else? I couldn't recall it all. I was feeling really strange. I tried again to recall. But I couldn't. and it really bothered me. I recalled that I had a relationship, but not with her, but with my ex. But this was history; It could only be after this. But I couldn't still recall.
In the mean time, the scenery changed completely white. there was nothing around me. It appeared to me that there was no sound, no time, no space. I tried to recall, but couldn't

I woke up and I was really lost. I had one sentence stuck in my head. It was about that supposed relationship. It was a sarcastic sentence about her: "What an impression do you have made! "

It starts by me trying to fall asleep, but I can't. I hear noises so I go to investigate and my environment kind of changes to my a front yard with a minecraft-like scene with trees and stuff from the game. They are cutting down wood, and begin to come over towards me. They introduce themselves, and one has a very strong accent and says they are from Bulgaria. One girl looks older than the other. One of them starts talking to me, like she's trying to get to know me, but I find it really difficult to understand her. We don't talk to much and then I try to find a way in order to get rid of them, and then another man comes and I assume it's her father. I didn't know what to do, because he insisted on watching a movie and cooking food in my house, and I just wanted him out. He begins to play the movie, and I try to just urge and push them out of the house, but they won't go anywhere.

That is when I wake up. Just curious, is that a false awakening, or does that have another name, when I start in the state of trying to fall asleep when the dream begins?

Last night, I dreamed of looking at a digital clock. It said something like 27:89. As soon as I was about to do a RC to verify, I woke up.

There wasn't a rush of excitement, or any emotion at all, and I woke up too abruptly to try and stabilize the dream. Very frustrating.


Usually, I discover that I'm entering a dream WAY too early (I wake up abruptly and remember hearing music and/or people talking), and the rush of emotion (not sure which emotion for some reason) is enough to INSTANTLY wake me up. This case was different. I was absolutely emotionless, yet I woke up as soon as I moved my dream hand (I was about to do the nose-plug RC). I didn't move my real hand, so that can't be what woke me up. I think this dream occurred merely to taunt me.

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

Three people were sitting on a couch. The one in the center was an adult, probably a man. The other two were either children or young adults who acted like children. The two were half-laying on the couch, leaning their heads and shoulders against the central man.

The two may have been one boy and one girl or two girls. The boy (?) may have been in love with the girl. He may have told the girl he was in love with her.

The girl may have responded by acting like she would go out with the boy. But she really didn't love him. She loved some other female, either a girl around her age or a woman around the age of the man, who may have been her teacher.

The man in the center may have had some suspicion that the girl was in love with another female. But the way the girl seemed to act in love with the boy kept the man from being suspicious. If the man knew for sure the girl was a lesbian, he would have stopped her. He was very protective of her, and he thought lesbianism was wrong.

I was now watching this scene in a movie theater. I sat in the theatre with my two old friends, R and Y. The theater was mostly empty, with only a few people in each row.

My friends and I heard a voice coming from one of the back rows. It sounded like the voice of our old friend, ER. We thought it must have been ER. But then it was quiet. So we didn't think about it anymore. But then we heard ER's voice again. I knew it must be him.

I turned around in my seat and called out, "ER! ER!" in a half-whisper. My friends giggled a bit and told me to stop talking in the theater and annoying everybody. I was about to defy them by calling out to ER again. But he waved at us, stood up, and began walking toward us.

But I didn't want to be quiet after being told to be quiet. So I called out, "We're actually looking for a second ER, too! ER!"

We were all facing forward. My friends were laughing at me. Then ER and Y began catching up with each other. They'd both led some pretty interesting lives in the years since they'd spoken.

ER began asking Y about a couple questions about some of the things she'd done. Y responded. She'd apparently had one project where she'd kept some kind of material sealed up in a big trash can.

At first I thought the project was sinister, like she was keeping a dead body or body parts in liquid in the can. But then it just sounded gross, like she was keeping liquid and old junk in the can.

Y had another project where she had to vacuum up some kind of dust. This project also seemed really gross.

Well, this was an interesting dream.
I was complaining to this woman and her son about how "it" wasn't much of a challenge.
"What's not much a challenge,"the woman inquired.
"This! All this! This...dream...All these dreams are so dull and boring! The last time I told anyone in the Dream World it was a dream, they laughed and made it seem like I was the idiot for not knowing from the very start!"
We heard a gasp and her son looked worried.
"I...I'm not real,"he asked, tears coming to eyes.
"Ah, jeez...,"I muttered guiltily.
His mother glared at me and said,"Thanks. Thanks for shattering the kid's hopes and dreams."
I explained things over to him and he seemed to start thinking that it was a good idea. After all, as long I'm not shot or something, the kid's hopes and dreams are intact.
"But, you know,"I said afterward,"there has to be one person that it would actually infuriate if they found out I was dreaming."
The woman pointed towards me and said,"Uh, like that?"
All of a sudden, I felt someone attack me from behind and bite my arm--hard.
"What the ----?!"
Surprised, I turned and saw my mother, an angry look in her eyes. I wanted to laugh.
"This is what I'm talking about! Even in my dreams, you're a pain to deal with!"
More snarling.
"Haha! Please. If you think attacking me means I'm going to consider this dream a nightmare, you have another thing coming."
More biting.
"Okay, now you're pissing me off."
I picked her up and body slammed her down onto the ground. I bent down low and murmured," You ain't got nothing on the real thing."
Then, I "woke up".
I looked around and sighed in relief. It was just a stupid dream. I glanced at my arm and saw a huge bite mark. Infuriated, I stormed out my room to complaint about it. Then, I woke up for real.

I was lying on the strand, just enjoying the good weather, when one of my friends come over, he asks me if I wanna go have a milkshake, so we head up the wooden stairs to the bar, where we sit and turn around against the ocean, suddenly a bee comes for my milkshake, I wave it off, and hit it. It flies off. Then it comes back, and I start waving it off again, and the bee gets more and more furious and I go more and more into panic, fearing it will sting me, so I start waving my arms, and apperantly I did so in the waking life, as I hit myself in the head -.-

Ok so to the people who haven't been reading my dreamguide im going to give you some background on the "race against the clock" part of the title. As you may have guessed im trying to find my dreamguide well i have found her per se but don't know her name or what her face looks like yet. In my last lucid i saw her but she was far away and her hair blocked her face when i got to her she had been replaced by two little dream characters that said she instructed them to tell me that i have until tomorrow to find her, tomorrow was yesterday or last night. So on to the dream

This was a DILD so i will include the pre-lucid:

It all start with me dressed in armour and seeing myself in the third person. I guess i was playing a highly advanced RPG and was a high level knight. I was training a girl and helping her level along with the party of noobs that she led. I let her in on a secret that inside the church infront of us was a secret shop where high level players buy new items and equipment cheap it was like a black market we went inside and started buying stuff i got this cool demon armour and a sword to match it then she bought a staff and robe and i don't know what the noobs bought. Then 2 players wanted to 2v2 duel us and we agreed everyone cleared out so we could fight. After that the dream transitioned but i do have a faint memory of slashing a guy in two, so anyway ya the dream transistioned and i was driving down a street with townhouses running along the sides i was just coasting along until i was forced to stop because 2 middle adged woman were talking in the middle of the street and their stuff was bloking the road on both lanes. They had suitcases and clothes and even a stroller with a baby in it blocking of the street. I sat there watching as they just talked and talked then i got out of the car gave them an angry look and moved all the stuff (i put the stroller on the sidewalk.) then i drove by but for some reason the one lady got in my car pushed me aside and started driving i sat there looking at her and something was weird she kept looking over at me and i was a little creeped out then she looked at me with a creepy smile and i was like "Oh my god NO NOOO i know what you are............a..............a DEMON" and then her smile got big and her mouth stretched out she opened it a bit revealing these huge fangs then it hit me that i was dreaming and i smiled and said "Nevermind I know i'm dreaming" she reverted back to normal with a sad suprised look on her face.

after that everything faded to black and i fell through a tunnel of stars only to end up in a place where i couldn't see my eyes were wide open and i knew i was having a stupid blind lucid so i thought about it and i remembered reading a forum post about this right here on DV and was like oh yah and started engaging all my dream senses i started feeling the floor and sniffing stuff and rubbing my hands together licking the wall and clapping then slownly my vision came back. But then i did something stupid randomly i realized my eyes were closed i then felt myself waking up i opened my eyes only to see a coner of my room then my door opened i a huge light came from the doorway and i realized the shadow of a person in the light i looked up then right glancing towards the doorway as my vision was fading from the coming awakening when i knew who i was looking at my eyes widened i saw my dreamguide but only had enough time to see her body and neck/lower face/chin area i couldn't tell what her expression was but her arms were crossed like last time. I don't know if i failed and my dreamguide has given up on me or if seeing her there counts as finding her.

My dream started out with me sitting on a hardwood floor in black jeans, black socks and my blue bamboo fibre shirt. I was just sitting there and I noticed a cat hiding under the couch across the room i got up walked over there and sat down beside the couch, trying to get the cat to come out. After a few minutes it did but, the cat..............Was a JERK it immediatley tried to eat my foot and IT HURT! I was wildly swinging my foot around and trying to pull off the cat, as it was chewing on my foot I could feel it piercing my flesh and I could feel my foot bleeding. After what felt like 20-25min I finally pulled the cat off my foot and what did it do? Jumped onto my other foot this when on for a while and then randomly i was out side with my friends.

It was slightly raining and there was random floating islands only hovering about 2-3 meters off the ground they were about 5meters across and there was a big frying plate thing it was almost the size of the floating island cutting it in half with lots of food like burgers and bacon and fries and fried chicken etc. there were three people standing behind the plate making the food and taking money from the people buying it there was a line up that covered every floating island and there was even a crowd of people on the ground this placed looked popular and randomly I was floating above the island with the food with my 2 friends looking down on it with food in our hands. I started eating it and it was DELICIOUS i ate the bacon covered burger and a bunch of other unhealthy things each thing i ate getting bigger and more tasty after i while i started to look around and randomly transistioned into another dream.

It was a large field the sky was dark and the suns colour looked inverted actually now that i think about it the whole sky was inverted the background was what looked to be a mountainous region the faild was just a green grassy field covered with black fence with spikes on the vertical pegs. I was standing on the fence it was like a maze that stretched on for ever in every direction possible. my friend was standing on a part a few meters away from me and said to not touch the ground or something bad would happen. I started following him as we jumped from fence to fence it was wierd because when we jumped it was like being super light we like "Floated" from fence to fence this went on for a few minutes and then I woke up

I was at the tuckshop at my junior school and I was being chased by some people from the lower grade. They were really pissing me off, and they chased me for ages.

Lila and her Tricks

I was in a strange town. I sort of knew I was dreaming, but I wasn't lucid. I think that I was under the impression that I had entered the dream realm via some type of portal or drug, and my clarity of thought was low anyways. I was with a man.

The town was strange. It was stone with old buildings. He and I walked into a restaurant courtyard. In front of me was a large stone staircase.

I was told by a woman (Lila, but I did not realize it at the time) to type something into a miniature computer. I entered in the text. It was a computer command of sorts. The string of text was long and the miniature keyboard was annoying. It was like an ancient phone device.

I entered it in, and then the text vanished.

"Oh, you will have to do it again," Lila announced, smirking. The man text to me grew a little restless.

I entered in the text again, and the same thing happened. My hard work was vanished.

"Would you stop it?" The man said, annoyed at Lila.

We were lead back in front of the stone stairs in the courtyard. I didn't physically hear a task from Lila, but I "perceived" one. I was trying to change the form of the stairs. Trying to change them in some sort. She challenged me to do so.

I made the stairs grow a layer of moss. It was pretty. It suited the gray stones nicely. I was proud of my work.

Lila looked at the stairs, and my moss vanished. WTF.

I was annoyed, so I made the moss grow again. She laughed, and the moss was gone.

Should have realized I was dreaming.
