    1. Party Takes a Deadly Turn - Ninja Ambush

      by , 09-15-2014 at 11:18 PM (Schmaven's Dream Journal of Randomness)
      Wandering around a busy party at someone's house, my friend and I sit down at a table. Someone brings us both a beer. After just half of it, I feel pretty tipsy and get up to walk around. Upstairs, I find the bathroom, but instead of a toilet, there is a large pond, with urine instead of water, and two people on hover crafts racing around a small island in the center. I relieve myself, and do my best not to pee on the hovercraft racers, even though they nearly splash me with urine as they zoom past.

      I go back downstairs and see a strange looking animal outside. It has the body of a vicious wolf, but the legs of a gazelle, and it doesn't know how to use the legs very well. It is quite slow, and looks like it is going to fall over. I watch as it goes from house to house looking for scraps to eat. Touched by its predicament of not being able to find any food, I ask my friend if he has anything I can give it. He gives me a piece of his sandwich. I go outside, and walk right up to the wolf-gazelle (Gazzolf / Wolfzelle?) and poke it in the rear leg to get its attention. I practically shove the food in its face, then put the food down next to it before running back to safety. The Gazzolf beats me to the door, and begs for more food. Out of no where, I pull a massive pile of food out of nothing and give it to the Gazzolf who chows down happily.

      Going back inside, I learn that my friend is the target of an assassination. I too am a potential target. He has taken off to safety, leaving me in his room where the assassins are approaching. I am given an optional task of securing files from his MP3 player by uploading them to a public server where everyone can access them, thereby protecting them from being destroyed. I just want to run, but feel that this would be very helpful. Even though I am unfamiliar with the software involved, I make it happen, focusing with all my might so I can get it done before the assassins get here. I notice a few suspicious characters that look like ninjas approaching from the fields outside, sneaking toward the house at a dead sprint.

      Running out of the room, I sense someone is just about to break through the window. I close the door and run downstairs to find my friend armed with a gun, pointing it right at me. I tell him I'll help him, and not to shoot me. Walking around the corner, I see a ninja, so I telepathically tell my friend, "There's one around the corner to your right." As the ninja turns the corner, my friend pre-fires him, shooting him immediately. I check out another nearby room and see another ninja, so I again tell my friend telepathically, "Behind you, another one with two swords." My friend again turns and shoots him before the ninja gets a chance to surprise him.
    2. Futuristic Hovercraft Scooter Racing LD

      by , 02-14-2014 at 11:53 PM
      This is my first DJ entry on dreamviews.. a pretty awesome dream from last night!

      I have been setting my dream intentions before bed for the past 2 weeks to go hoverboarding on the moon, or to travel through space, so this dream kind of incorporated both of these into something different.

      I was in some futuristic town which I think might have been levitating in the sky. It may have been on another planet. I knew that some race was going on using these open-top futuristic hover board type platforms that you stand facing forwards on, and had a handle like a push scooter that you used to steer them. My brother was going to be competing, and before the race was starting since it was a few hours before, I got the idea that I really wanted to test out his craft.

      I walk out to some beautiful porch type area which is several hundred feet in the air, and at the edge of the town, with stone or granite floors and flower beds on the raised areas, pretty tropical trees and plants every few feet, with a little roof extension over the dropoff. Everything was extremely vivid. There was a clear blue sky, and I could see clouds below me and a beautiful landscape beneath. It looked alot like an altered version of the porch you have in your room on Phantasy Star Online 2, a futuristic Japanese MMORPG. Next to the porch was an area with the levitating vehicle where you could step right into the vehicle and about 150 feet ahead, head into the racing tunnel. During that 150 feet, you are flying above the huge drop down to the planet below! I think I had 2 tickets in my hand, which must have been for the race or to be able to take a ride on the vehicle. I stepped onto the hovercraft and turned it on. I believe I became somewhat lucid at this point because I felt I had control over my actions. I started to move forwards, and as I left the area to step onto the craft, I looked back and saw a beautiful girl running up to the edge to join me.. I looked down at my hand and saw the two tickets and knew that I had got the other one for her. I had already left though and it was like it was too late to turn back.. there were no brakes or reverse that I could find..

      I continued forward looking back at her and was upset that she wasn't able to join me.. As I made it to the entrance of the tunnel though, I felt excitement and adrenaline take over though! I began speeding through the tunnel which had turns, cool multicolored lights, a center barrier with exotic plants in it, and the occasional space in the middle to be able to turn around into the other lane. The lane on the other side was for the way back, like the returning lane during the race after you had made it to the other end of the tunnel. I looked down on the craft and found that there was a turbo mechanism you could turn on and it would give you a temporary boost in speed! It was like being in a futuristic racing video game first person! When I turned the boost on, the craft hurdled forwards much faster, and as I stood back up I saw that also in the racing lane, there were boost pads on the ground placed periodically as well. I wasn't sure whether these recharged your boost or gave you a temporary boost of speed as well, but when I passed over one, I got another huge boost in speed! It was a little bit scary since it was my first time driving this craft and wasn't exactly sure how to handle it perfectly, but was exhilarating none the less! I looked ahead on the track and saw that there was a circular red raised pad on the ground, kind of like in Sonic, which launches you in the air! I got scared that I would lose control if I went over one of these since it would launch me in the air, but as I neared closer, I got the urge to try anyways! Right before hitting the red launcher, I leaned back to brace myself and try to keep the craft upright in the air. As I hit it, it launched me about 10 meters (30ft) or more in the air! It kind of threw the craft around a little bit, but I was able to keep control, but as soon as I came back to the ground and gained control, I saw that immediately after the first one was a second!! I immediately hit the second one and again launched wayyy up into the air! It was awesome! As I landed again, I had a lot of speed. I believe I activated the turbo one more time afterwards, and went around a few curves on the track.

      Once I had flown through a little more of the track I realized it might be a good idea to turn around and go back, and had a feeling that I had either already gone too far or that I shouldn't even be in there and was going to be in trouble for driving there. I searched for brakes, but realized that I either couldn't find them, or that the craft didn't even have brakes to slow down! When I realized this, I came up with the idea to just bust a hard left through one of the openings in the center barrier, and to turn back onto the oncoming track. I went for it, and leaned all of my weight to the left, and had to actually take my left foot off and put it down on the ground and do a sliding left turn with my foot on the ground kind of like on a scooter or motorcycle ha! I was able to maneuver it and do the 180 turn back onto the oncoming track.

      I began heading this way back towards the beginning to take the craft back to where I got it from. After only driving this direction for about 30 seconds to a minute, I saw some people come onto the track on foot and block the area where I was headed. I began to panic and knew that I was in trouble and that they were trying to get me to stop. As I neared closer, I felt that I needed to try and get around them. I got closer, and slowed the craft down to make them think I was coming to a stop. When I was about 10 feet away, I went to the left, and swerved around the person trying to get me to stop. It took a moment to build speed back up and I was worried that even on foot they might be right behind me chasing after me and about to hop on the back of the craft to stop me! I was panicking and couldn't even look back and just gave it my all to try and speed ahead away from them. I saw another person in the distance preparing to do the same as the others, so again, I did the same thing as before! I was able to get past them as well, barely, and continued down the path.

      My heart was pounding and adrenaline pumping, and believe I woke up at this point because I can't remember whether I made it back or not, but had plans in the dream in that point to make it back to the girl. It was a really exciting and fun dream, and somewhat what I've been telling myself I'd like to dream about before bed. The dream intention I've been setting though has been to ride a hoverboard on the moon and to travel through outerspace.. so I don't know if this was my subconscious interpretation of this but it was awesome nonetheless! Hope you enjoyed the read!

    3. (04/11/11) - Hovering desk chairs and...Windows Vista?

      by , 11-04-2011 at 03:12 PM (LiveInTheDream's DJ v2.5)
      I had to be at a work meeting rather late last night, so my sleep schedule was thrown off and not surprisingly, I didn't go lucid in spite of my MILD. When I slept, I just slept hard

      1) I was looking to get a new desk chair (which I did IRL recently--probably had something to do with this dream) and I found one that struck me as odd: it was advertised as 'the leg-less desk chair'. Basically, it was said to contain some kind of highly magnetic device that would consistently keep the chair hovering a few feet off the floor. Sounded interesting, so I got two of them, and immediately discovered that by tilting one of the chairs while sitting in it, I could cause it to move around at pretty good speeds. Suddenly I was on a trip to Israel and still in my hovering desk chair. I propelled all over the place at something like 45 mph, all the time having more and more false memories explaining the backstory of the dream that I hadn't seen...making it harder and harder to become lucid all the time. I was just about to have to leave Israel when one of my friends who was there with me turned evil and started some scheme I was going to have to stop...

      Dream Signs: Being somewhere without remembering getting there, dream-like environments, highly unusual events

      2) I was surprised to find that someone had stuck my old PC's hard drive in my new PC, but since it was there I decided to have fun with it. I booted up into Windows Vista and as expected, it ran poorly for an OS but much faster on the newer computer. I intended to upgrade it to Windows 8 (yes, 8) but just as I popped the disk in someone started Skype chatting with me and I never got around to it

    4. 3 Sep 2010: skyscraper, underground city and introduction to “the game”

      by , 09-06-2010 at 12:20 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      I joined the Serial Dream RPG challenge and I think this night I started engaging in it. Some lady introduced me to the game and I started working on the look of my character, although officially it hadn't start yet


      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING



      22:50 GMT – Sleep

      0:00 GMT
      No dreams recalled

      1:10 GMT

      Discussion with dad
      I’m at my mom’s house with her and my dad. My dad enquires me about these “things” I am involved in (namely Buddhism, spiritual practices and dream-stuff). As he is enquiring me about this, I am on the laptop just finalizing this thing on the DV forum or something like that and I start responding him by exemplifying what I was just dealing with on that moment.
      He is a hardcore atheist, materialist, for whom nothing like shared dreams or reality being product of the mind is acceptable. He therefore becomes more and more stressed as I go explaining all this. My mom understands more or less what I’m saying and as usual, she is eager to learn, so she is quiet in the background. My father gets up and starts moving around a bit angry. He says I am completely off tracks and lost my reason. I try to show him that’s not the case, it is merely him who is narrow-minded. But he gets really pissed. He asks me if I trust more these “people” (I guess my fellow dreamers, my Buddhist sangha, my gurus?) than I trust his judgement. And I clearly say a resounding yes! That no matter how much that hurts him, I would more readily follow any advice from my gurus than from him, whose judgement I always had very little trust. He goes ballistic! He starts shouting and my mom now wants to intervene but I tell her not to. I tell him that I am an adult independent woman and he no longer controls me or decides for me what’s best.
      My dad leaves the room, then opens the front door, but sits outside in the stairs, groaning about it. My mom then laughs and makes really nervous mockery about his reaction. She always gets upset with this frequent clash between me and dad. But I was expecting this exact reaction and I know this is a dream and therefore I was not afraid to push him to his limits – I am planting the seed. With time he will see, understand and accept that I make my own choices.


      4:00 GMT

      Hovercraft ride
      I’m with some group of people, like we’re on an adventure and we’re by the side of a road waiting for transportation. Two vans arrive and we divide in two groups. The van I go to, then transforms into a hovercraft. The lady driver seems to be a bit crazy and as soon as she starts driving, she steps on the gas. We go through dangerous roads through mountains, on top of cliffs and we are a bit scared with her driving – on one point, we almost fell off the road – so we tell her to go slower or she we’ll damage the hovercraft as the road is quite bad. That’s the only argument that works to convince her.

      Surreal bathroom landscape
      Later I’m in a tall building, like a skyscraper. At this point for some reason I am entering a bathroom expecting to find someone there and I find these two black ladies, mother and young daughter, in the bathtub, very relaxed. The floor is wet. So wet, that actually it looks like a lake. I climb onto a sofa that is on the left side of the room and as I sit there, I am actually like on the edge of a lake. I see aquatic plants and I see an animal approaching. It is a bison! He is coming out of the water and the only way to do so is by also climbing to the sofa. I find this just too damn weird, the bison is huge and will for sure crush me, so I decide to leave this room and wait for whatever is supposed to happen to come to me instead.


      Skyscraper fall survivors
      I am now on a room with bookshelves and there’s a window where I can see the outside. We’re on some high floor and I see another building in front, as well as a viaduct a bit to the left side. Then an earthquake strikes and this building we are in, starts bending forward, like a tree. It hits the building in front and lies suspended diagonally. Before the whole thing collapses I manage to get out through the window and others (still the same group since the beginning of the adventure?) follow me. We end up on a kind of platform, which I think is part of the collapsed viaduct that was nearby. A bunch of people gathers here, looking around seeing the destruction. This black girl that was on the bathtub is exploring a bit more and her mother calls her back, because she is doing some acrobatic stunts in some other suspended platform, on a level below us. It looks very unstable but she insists in looking for survivors or something. She then returns and all together we find some way down to the ground level.

      Ice-creams on underground city
      After walking some time under the debris, we find an entrance to an underground part of the city and this seems to be intact and fully running. There are some guards at the door, but they allow us in. This underground place is like a city within the city, it looks like a giant mall, with cafés, shops, galleries and even hotels. I am sitting on a café table, crying. Two ladies from the group appear again by my side and order ice-creams. I feel disoriented, how can they be so cool, eating ice-creams. I decide to get up and leave but they just give me an order to go get an orange ice-cream for myself. And I go and when I am trying to pay, the cashier asks me if my money is new and good. I don’t know why he asks me that but I look in my wallet and I have lots of foreign money and some chips with insignias on it, I have no clue what they are. The ice cream is only 20 cts, which I manage to pay and ask it to be delivered at table two.

      Rules of the game and entering my character
      Then there’s a gap, but a lady (one of the previous ladies?) is now explaining me “the game”. She shows me a large text, like a roll of parchment she starts unfolding in front of my eyes. It’s an introduction and rules of the game. But it is so dense, so long, that I just give up after a few paragraphs and lose my interest. I continued looking at it, but at a certain point I was no longer reading it.
      Then there’s another gap, but I remember starting walking through these large hallways – where everything is luxurious, like an underground avenue with hotels on both sides and fancy restaurants and art galleries. I feel I have a new different look, so I stop by a large mirror on the wall to look at myself and I look weird but cool at the same time, with long black hair, dark sunglasses and an avant-garde red dress with a stylish hood over my head. I feel I look awesome but maybe a bit too much Lady Gaga for my taste. Everybody is looking at me and I feel I need to tone down a little. I take the hood and the glasses. And adjust the dress – it actually becomes sexier, with a cleavage and tighter. Then I think I look more like what I should look like and keep going. I find this exit doors to the outside and end up in a square with a fountain. I remember lots of people moving around, coming in an out of the underground city, the outside being a bit grey, then... I don’t recall the rest of the dream.
