    1. 16-08-18 How to Dismantle a Nuclear Bomb

      by , 08-21-2016 at 02:31 AM
      I have notes of a "swamp", a "woman swimming", and "crocodiles". I remember none of it, except the crocodiles.

      Dream took place in my old family home again. My phone buzzed in my pocket (allegedly, I remember nothing, these are old notes). My dad was upstairs. In the dream, I think he was installing (or had already installed) a fixed air conditioner unit. I could hear the annoying sound. In reality, it as my own crappy mobile AC that I was hearing, and the sound "leaked" into the dream in this form.

      I think I was on a quay, I think. I came across my old colleagues from my previous previous previous job (Tankpark). We did not split on good terms. I greet them, they ignore me. I was like "okay then", and continued on my way.

      We were in a garage-like space, dismantling a nuke. Notes tell me Xiaoxi (Chinese lady I know) was somehow involved, but I don't recall how. Heroes' Matt Parkman was there too (no surprise, I had seen actor Greg Grunberg in Star Trek: Beyond the evening before). At some point, Arthur Petrelli showed up and tried to stop us. I ignored him, saying he was dead. Suddenly, he turned out to be an older man called "Manny". I was supposed to know him from the past when he was younger, but didn't recogize him. He argued the world was in terrible shape, and asked us to stop. I convinced him it would only get worse if the nuke went off. We got ready to leave. Matt was interested in a fish bowl with some fish still in it, randomly laying around in the garage. He took it with him. We crawled under the garage door, which was half closed. I felt extremely tired, physically. So did the others, according to my notes. We find ourselves in what looks like an underground parking garage. In the distance, I see armed forced enter from several entrances. Guys in full SWAT gear. I am suspicious. We get on our knees as if to surrender, and I think to Parkman (he's a mind-reader) to get ready to get us out of here if things go wrong. Not sure how he would have done that. He can't teleport.
    2. Swimming Through Layers

      by , 02-14-2013 at 09:38 PM
      It was a partly cloudy day, the air was thick, and I was in a swamp. I stood in front of a stream of water, and I had to get to the other side. I jumped in the water and became completely submerged. The water was green but clear, enough for me to see about 20 to 30 feet ahead of me and wasn't tainted, so I swam. As I continued swimming all was normal, fish were swimming by me going with the flow of the water, was clear. I swam further and reached a part of the water where crocodiles were relaxing. I felt no fear for none were paying attention to me so why bother them. I continued to swim, as I was swimming one humungous crocodile swam really fast, chewed up a smaller crocodile and dragged it away, "HOLY SHIT!" I thought to myself.

      After leaving that area of water snakes were swimming by me, there were many. So many that as I was swimming in front of them, they were bumping into me as they were swimming by. I thought quickly as they were going to slow me down. I covered my head and spun my body like a drill so the snakes would swim around me like Hydrodynamics. After I was past the snakes, next came shit. Shit was now flowing through the stream of water, the water was still clear but there were many large long clumps of shit going by. At this point I became very disgusted, I thought to my self "Fuck this!" and started to swim to the surface. I wasn't drowning nor was I struggling I just didn't want to swim through shit. As I reached the surface I was met by a bright light, then I awakened.
    3. My Sinking flat

      When i had this dream i was still living in groningen, Holland which was a couple of weeks ago but now im back in NZ.
      I was chilling in my flat with my flatmate, Jort, and my friends from NZ, Jazz and Nat aswell as some random asian chick whos name ive forgotten. At some point the flat (a house boat) started to sink and was suddenly surrounded by crocodiles. Next thing i remember Jort has a Skype card i can use to skype my parents, but Nat buys it off him before i could get it. Wasnt very happy with that.
    4. Puke and Scratched Watches

      0:30-8:00


      It's been way too long... I figured after my exams I would be able to focus on lucid dreaming again. Nope. Dream recall was completely gone for about a week, now it's tarting to come back. So I guess I'm at square one again.

      I'd like to share a weird dream state I was in prior to my last exam. I was extremely nervous (it was oral), got sick to the stomach and couldn't fall asleep. On top of that Scumbag Brain started playing tricks on me. I assume it was a form of lucidity, but not the kind I would expect. I kept picturing parts of the material as gibberish latin terms and solving schemes that weren't real (not sure if that makes any sence to you, it didn't to me at the time either). So I freaked out thinking I didn't study these parts, which made me even more nervous preventing me from falling asleep.

      Back to last night. Couple mantra's.
      We're in a sleeping hall, I'm lying in my bed. In this room there are a couple of other filled bunks. Across the room, there she is: the reason I got into lucid dreaming.
      I'm wearing all sorts of jewelery on me, one of it is a watch. It's hers and I scratched it, she's mad at me. But for some reason I'm standing by her side and she's now pointing her anger to someone else.

      I go to the bathroom and there are kids (11-13 maybe) puking everywhere. There seems to be a club downstairs where they got drunk. My old schoolpal is at that club, similar to a dream I've already had (yey for pattern developments!).

      Back in the sleeping hall a video is projected onto the ceiling. It's about wild animals fighting. At some point they show crocodiles and I feel like they're all over me. Not quite biting, but crawling over me with the anticipation of bites.
      Then there's a part where Gangplank is fighting with Tryndamere and GP wins. I need to cut down on my League of Legends play time, it's leaking into my dreamworld...

    6. Magic, Sprinting competition and narrated lessons on nature

      by , 11-10-2010 at 12:09 PM
      non-dream - non-lucid - lucid

      10/11/10 Party at the top floor, entered via fire escape, dancing as part of a spell, have to leave for a moment, I keep swirling and believeing, Pil is somehow better and more experienced than me, transfer of knowledge through breaking of the spell and the bond shared within, blood bond?, symbolic knowledge, knowledge of letters, someone there, knocking in the ceiling as part of the spell, call Daniel so he knows it is just part of the spell, mette and friends invite me in second time around, bump into Casper/Sauer on the way in second time, they are leaving, I care little, go inside Mette's place and make sure I invite peeps from upstairs, I am offered food, not the cheese as it really taste like cheese and mette thinks that is bad, I try and explain it is ok and she should give it to me, pil says the sameand is eating some of the cheese.
      (skip)
      I am in the woods climbing trees, the primary part of them are badly mutilated, there is a narrative going and I am being educated about the trees, some trees change as you get closer to the crown, others have parasitic entanglements native to them (and as such grow quicker!). I have a small retractable knife with me and I am cutting in the trees, I don't have malicious intent and what I am doing doesn't seem wrong (this logic later baffle's me and I remember I find it strange that I had to use a grass sort as the perfect wood for a bow). The season is a bit off for learning I decided and exit the woods right out into the streets where Thure is waiting. He explains that I should try and get Pil to teach me Magic as I might get experience and progress I tell him “Hah, so I can become a level ½ wizard!?” in a jokey tone although I contemplate telling him about the surges of energy I have been feeling lately. I say “If it was a fight where anything goes I would probably beat him.”
      “Well actually I don't know” I continue sincerely
      Thure joins in “Well he is actually quite strong.”
      “Yeah and I have lost quite a bit of my mojo since the last time I worked out”
      I challenge him to a sprint and he agrees. I almost beat him, but something happens towards the end that make me slip up. Some random guy asks if we are to do it again, I say yes, but I don't really feel like inviting him in so I select a distance that is narrow enough that even 2 people would have issues in certain points of the course. There is a countdown from 3 led by me and we are off again, I am in front most of the time, but Thure beats me towards the end, I just can't seem to be going any faster. The random guy shouts out “Why yes of course” during the sprint and explains that Thure won due to his running economy and the fact that he maintained a vertical posture in the beginning whereas I was flat out sprinting leaned forward the entire time. I look at him intensely as he seems to know what he is talking about and say to Thure “Again!” we prepare for another sprint. I wake up.



      Being stuck on a tropical island as I had to go back to get my clothes.
      My mum was there as well.
      Told her I was going insane.
      She told me it was because of grandma we were there as longs as we were.
      A broken toilet, tried to fix it, disgusting!
      Finding various pieces of old clothes I don't know where are now.

      Skip or new dream

      On Bornholm, somehow it is in a different climate branch than usual.
      Driving on muddy biking paths, running too.
      There are crocodiles on all sides of the paths.
      Driving in a golf buggy, bikers in the way, they don't seem to understand that I am not quite driving a car.
      I loose my shoe, which is really a fish and it gets eaten by a baby croc.
      This means I have to run through mud and crocs bare footed.

      Skip

      I am in Africa, on a shore.
      In a documentary where they are showing ancient hunting techniques and how they have discovered that they are different to what previously assumed.
      They are hunting crocs, and preserving them making sure they don't over hunt.
      At a point I have to run across the shore on difficult cave terrain and stamp the crocs out of their caves.
      I am a bit scared.
      I end up knocking loose a big shield shaped rock, this defines the old king as remainging the king although he was just challenged by his son.
      He gives me a set of 3 ancient (or not that ancient) mugs as a thanks.



      Sisse is coming down the street on a bike.
      She tells me about how her mum is cutting up materials and making shirts.
      She would like to sell this in Thailand.
      I tell her I can help.
      Something about Facebook.
    7. Dodging crocodiles, captured by magic druggie

      by , 08-07-2010 at 12:48 PM
      PART 1 - CROCODILE DODGING WITH G

      I'm walking through a water filled area with my friend G. I have to swim from one platform to another to stay above. When I get there, G informs me there are crocodiles in the water.

      A bit further, walking along, a crocodile lunges out of a small puddle at me, about three times... but it's kind of moving in slow motion, and isn't coming at me full force, almost as if it's "pulling its punch."

      I tell G that, "I need to get my old narcissism back, become A (old nickname from HS), I've become too understanding."

      ANALYSIS

      The crocodiles "pulling their punch" makes me think of a sheltered environment, being coddled, not exposed to "the real."

      The narcissism bit seems literal. I actually do think that sometimes.

      - - -

      PART 2 - CAPTURED

      I'm walking home, turning a corner just down the street, it's dark... a shady character starts coming right my direction from the other side of the street.

      When he gets close, I say, "you lookin'?" referring to drugs, to make him think I might be useful somehow, so he won't attack.

      He says, "what you got?" I hesitate, wanting to leave options open, making sure he thinks I have something he wants so he won't attack. "Uh, could be anything..."

      He realizes I'm lying and decides to mug me. I take out some money and say I'll leave it on the ground for him to pick up once he backs up a certain distance, to ensure I can escape.

      He goes along with it at first and gets close anyway and holds me down. I'm held captive, and taken to his group's apartment. I look around for anyone who might sympathize with my plight, but no one shows any sign.

      In the light I see the original attacker guy is buff, bulky, with a buzz cut. I remember one other guy, skinny, wife beater, tattoos. There were others, sort of a party atmosphere.

      I'm able to get a look out a window, but I see that the next building is too far away to jump to, we're too high up.

      I either escape or am rescued, I don't remember. I'm now at the apartment of the "good guys." Similar party atmosphere, everyone is just chilling. They're into magic.

      I see someone who looks like someone I work with, K. She is a "good person" and would fit into this culture. It turns out to be her twin sister, my hope for some type of familiarity is dashed.

      Someone suggests I call the cops. I wonder why I hadn't thought of that.

      I'm on the street (downtown somewhere). I see a cop, 50s, gray hair, mustache, cop hat... I tell him what happened. I don't remember his response. I don't remember at what point in the timeline this took place, it may have been later.

      I'm back at the "good guys" place, and the "bad guys" break in - turns out they know magic too, except they're way more powerful than the good guys with it.

      The original guy who attacked me is riding a flaming horse. I'm helpless, and think this is probably it for me.

      ANALYSIS

      This is the second time in a row there's been a shady character who I've tried to fool by leading them on with drugs associated with this same corner near my home! The previous time was on July 30th, before I started recording my dreams online.

      "I'm walking down the street to work, it's dark, a shady Muslim dude (in full gear) heads in my direction presumably to mug me. I distract him by asking if he knows where I can find $1000 of weed to play on his self interest. He goes along with it, says we would have to leave the country. We drive the rest of the way and park outside my work. I ask how I would contact him in the future to make him think I was interested in the long term, so that he'll let me go for now. He knew I was lying all along, however, and became angry."

      I feel like trying to "trick" the "attackers" is what got me sucked into the web (captured in last night's case)... like I was being punished for being deceptive. They both went along with it at first... like a test to see how deep I would dig my own hole.

      This may link up with the message promoting sincerity from the "free beer" dream two days back. I feel this is applicable to me in that I tend to be hyper-aware of managing the impression others have of me, fundamentally out of fear that they won't like me.

      The message that stands out, in essence: being deceptive out of fear is a trap that creates your own personal hell from which no one else can ever save you. This must be my "conscience."

      I should focus on cultivating honesty; asking myself more in making decisions, "Do I feel good about doing this?"

    8. The crocodile sanctuary

      by , 08-29-2008 at 05:00 AM (Visions in the Dark)
      I am a winged white tigress and I am with Knuckles the Echidna at a crocodile sanctuary. At first we are in a forested area and I stab him violently with my claws, which attracts the attention of Archiemedes and the other fire ants. Afterwards Knuckles is still able to move, and we go inside the building were crocs are on every level and roaming around freely.

      I see a ghost and for a second I am scared but then joyfully accept the ghost and willing choose to see it as a Virgin Mary figure, which it does look like, even craddling a little baby. My fear is then transfered to the crocs which I expend a lot of energy trying to avoid.

      Knuckles waits for me outside and I tell him that a horrible fear of mine would be ripped apart and eaten alive by crocs while still conscious of what's going on. Then I start flying around the trees surrounding the sanctuary before returning to where Knux is and giving him a ladybug shaped pin to give to his girlfriend Julie-Su. He throws it away and says that Julie-Su wouldn't be interested in such junk.

      I leave him and started flying over the crocodile infested lake beyond the sanctuary and start teasing the crocs because I know I can out swim them, by dipping into the water quickly and then surfacing and flying out of their reach. I dive and fly for a while, having lots of fun, till I see a blimp floating by one egde of the lake. I start to follow it, but the dream ends because I wake up.


      I used to read the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book years ago so I think that is where the characters in this dream came from.
