I'm standing on a sea or lake shore. All concrete, not a beach. Something is about to happen. Bad guys against good guys. A woman in long crimson dress jumps out of the helicopter to prevent being taken alive, or possible to sacrifice herself for others, to prevent the bad thing happening. I can't believe she jumped to her death, I know her and I like her. There is suppose to be a nuclear explosion, so people are standing up on park tables to see over the trees. Someone is with me and I tell them not to worry, we will see it without standing up. It's gonna be huge. And sure enough, over the water to the left, a huge mushroom cloud is forming. White one, soon turning into orange. We move a bit to see it better between the trees. There is a shockwave coming, full of dust, so I grab the other person's hand and we run to nearby building. Trying to open one glass door, but I know immediately it won't open, the handle is broken. But I yank one more time and it opens. The cloud is now right on top of us and I see an older woman looking in through the glass door disappointed that I just closed it. I think for a second, then open it and let her and others in. I stand in a door for a second, thinking that the cloud doesn't seem so dangerous, when i notice shimmering and sparkling particles in the air (like chaff from chaff grenade in a video game). I go back in.
I was in the passenger seat of a car. A man was driving. Then, he lost control of the car and drove into a river. He told me to brace. I immediately started opening the door, even before the car hit the water, because I knew opening a car door underwater is very hard. I waded to the shore. I looked out at the horizon, and it was beautiful. A gorgeous orange sunset. I knew this was the US, and I wanted to capture this moment before I'd have to go home. I took out my phone and started to take a picture. But then, on that same horizon, I saw what the sunset really was. A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky. I was like "oh, no" and ran away. I ran through a small town, and yelled at everyone to take cover as a nuke had hit a nearby city. No one believed me, and I was laughed at. Then, I began realizing this wasn't real. I could feel it, like a haze of some sorts. Hard to explain. I told the people that I knew, and they admitted it was all just a dream. A kind of prank. I laughed along with them at this "you got me" moment.
The first dream started innocently enough, with yet another return to that bloody school. I was running late. I entered the classroom where everybody else was already assembled. They weren't just the guys from my own class, but also from the other class from that same year. I sheepishly greeted them and sat down. They cheered and mocked me as I did so. I made brief eye contact with my former friends, realizing fully well they hate me. As it turned out, I was there to complete my third year of my bachelor in electromechanics. The second dream started out as a kind of franchise trailer for Call of Duty. I saw footage of modern military stuff like jets and tanks. Then, the view switched to Nazi World War II tanks driving up a hill towards the US capitol. Then, the capitol exploded in a massive nuclear blast. I was physically present in the scene now, and knew I was about to die. I saw the "wave" of debris and other fiery fuck you heading my way, and realized I would soon be vaporized. But when it hit me, I was thrown into the air by the air pressure. High into the air. Like, a mile. I saw the land the capitol was on, a wide river, and a town on the other side. For a second I was happy, thinking I'd survived, but then I realized I'd fall to my death. Just my luck. Fortunately, I ended up floating and eventually flying. I flew around a little bit, quite low to the ground, through a park. There were people walking around, but then I noticed a woman I'd seen before. She was there "twice". And where ever I looked, there she was. It was like she was replicating outside my field of vision, and everybody was turning into her. Until there were at least ten "clones" of her in that park, and no one else. I felt this was becoming a nightmare, as this is a plot I've seen before in dreams. That's right, despite not being lucid, I still "knew" this was a dream. I talked to the "woman", whom I knew was not a woman but a monster. She *looked* like a woman, but I knew my own growing fear and unease could make her morph into a monster at any time (as dreams usually do). She had a name, which I forgot. I realized flying away was pointless. The monsters my dreams spawn can teleport, and always know where you are. Always. You can't hide or flee from them. I knew the only way out, was to terminate the dream by waking up - as this would instantly terminate 'her' and the whole dream world. I could 'feel' my real body at this point, but I was still in the dream. I told her what I was going to do. I asked her if she had any last words before I erased her from existence. Then I chose to wake up. I think that's the first time I've ever voluntarily ended a dream despite not knowing it's a dream. It sure caught the nightmare creatures off-guard.
I was in a large high-rise with several others. Among them my former friends (Fenn & Barra). There was a large window overlooking the city, which was definitely Brussels. The atmosphere was tense. Something was happening, something "global". I said "they" would never go as far as nuking a certain military target (some 20 miles from the city). But then, a nuclear explosion occurred right in the center of the city. In that split second, I came to the horrible realization how wrong I was. The explosion was blinding and the fireball spread quickly, and I knew we were fucked. In that moment, I realized I was going to die. There was not enough time to think about it, not even enough time to get properly scared (only the onset of fear with a little bit of denial). I felt the intense heat from the blast almost scorching my face, and everything got really bright as the fireball arrived. But suddenly, it was gone. No fireball, no other people, nothing. I was still terrified, ran the other direction and jumped out of the window on the other side of the building (a smaller window). Not sure if it broke, or if I phased through it. I effortlessly flew away, and got out of there. After a while, I was flying over a wide road that no longer looked like Brussels. The weather was a lot sunnier than before, also. I made another stylish landing, and remembered what I'd seen. I had obviously been thrown back in time, somehow. I thought to myself that I should probably do something about it, and stop it from happening. After all, I had knowledge of the events, and I had this cool set of powers which kind of made me responsible. I think I suddenly 'knew' about all my other abilities, ones I had used in previous dreams but not in this one yet. Nightmare time. I recall being in a building (just on floor, ground level) full of poorly-lit (and confusing) corridors with doors that all looked the same. Some kind of monster was loose. I could never get a proper look at it, but it was the stuff of nightmares. It didn't really have a shape of its own. It can best be compared with "The Thing", as it could also body-snatch victims. In one scene, it got very close as it attacked me and another person (or several). At this point, it was more or less an amorphous mass of grey "matter", but definitely biological (a bit like the Molded from Resident Evil 7). It made a leap for me, but I ducked away and it missed. It undoubtedly killed the other guy as I ran away through the corridors - terrified of course. I went through doors without knowing where they'd lead me. They all looked the same. I closed doors behind me, and locked them. It could bust through doors without a problem. I entered a bathroom, and for a moment I thought I'd run into a dead end. It would catch me for sure. But then I noticed a door I hadn't seen before... on the opposite side of the entrance. It lead to another wing of the building. I kept running, and came to the docks (!!). There was a person in the last room before I got outside (I think). I also found a box full of things I could use as weapon. Including a rusty Katana in a plain wooden sheath. I shrugged at the shitty quality of the blade, and took it anyway. I ran across the docks, an reached a ship. It looked like an old fishing boat. I managed to convince the crew and owner that we needed to leave right away. As they prepared to cast off, I kept an eye on the building. I *knew* the beast wasn't going to give up, and it was after me. This nightmare took place on an island, I think. There was some kind of "infection" spreading. Not a simple disease, but something monstrous. I knew this dream was "the sequel" to the previous one. The whole atmosphere was terrifying. In the end, we'd made it to an airport, and had boarded a plane to escape. I looked out of the window as we were taxiing. The tarmac was covered in a kind of fleshy "red weed", which was taking over the whole island. But only we (me and the others from the group) could see it... no one else. It was playing mind tricks on us... In another scene, someone had died. One of my companions, an alien (humanoid, but not quite human), was angry at me because I hadn't paid my proper respects at his funeral. I was too shocked at the time, because his body was full of (and overgrown with) the horrific red weed. It was a repulsive sight. In the end, we had to do something to end the infection. It happened in a relatively small basement, and involved a bizarre puzzle on the wall involving foods (linking food to a certain category, also some math)... I was driving car through city at night. But something just felt "wrong". Like, something evil was in the air. A general sense of dread that also filled the previous dream. Suddenly, my car didn't want to accelerate properly anymore, and it took effort on my part just to make it move. I pulled over. At some point I pull a cover off my car (like a sail people put over their cars to protect them from the winter cold). I drove off again, and noticed I'd forgotten to turn my lights on again. At a junction, I looked to my right and recognized a former classmate (Tim Botte) on the sidewalk. I think I was distracted and didn't realize the light had gone green. I made a right turn at the light (depite not being in the right section for that maneuver). What a boring ending!
25/08/2014 2300-0730 1. 0230-0400 I remember animals. Many animals. When something that I forgot about happened to them, they became sprites you could go over and pick up, like Minecraft sprites. I specifically remember this happening to some elephants. 2. 0400-0530 I remember being in the boonies with my dad and brother. We were in a trailer in the woods. It sort of looked like the same area where the dream with the birds kicking me out of their house was. My dad, brother, and I went hunting into some woods. We went on our ATVs. We stayed in the forest until it was dark. Dad said we should get back, and my brother and I got on our ATVs and got back to the trailer. During the trip, we saw some spooky fog around the area. After a while, and dad didn't come back, someone came and told us our dad was dead. I burst into tears, thinking it was all my fault, and that I shouldn't have gone without him. This was somewhat of a nightmarish dream. 3. 0530-0730 I remember a nuclear explosion. That is it with this one.
8/18/2014 2300-0730 I was inside a nuclear explosion. I was very close to where the explosion happened. I ran from it quite quickly. I got to a thin wall and ran across that. I saw the wave thing part go through the wall. After the explosion, I got to a school. Many people were in the school. I saw many people who went to school with me from real life. They were talking about dying from the radiation. They said most of the people have 1 year to live, While the luckier ones had 2 years. I became very worried of dying in two years; of dying, actually.
I have been away from dreaming for quite a while due to having a great deal of difficulty with recall and motivation. Lately I have been taking some supplements for dream recall and I managed to remember a couple dreams, though they weren't fully lucid ones. Here are the dreams I remember: 07/06/14 Show Us Your Stuff! I am wandering around in a neighborhood I don’t recognize. I am not lucid, and I have no idea what I am doing there or even how I got to be there. I stop and look around for a bit, trying to clear my mind. I remember that I am making plans to meet with some new people in a shared dream. I think maybe if I can find a place that looks like the meeting place we are aiming for then maybe I can have the shared dream work. I remember that we are meeting near a large tree so I search the area for a large tree. I wander aimlessly for a while, no real direction in mind, and I finally find myself in a beautiful garden. There is a pool of water there with a waterfall flowing into it. I look at that for a few minutes, the sound of the water is calming. I look around a bit more and I spot a tree that looks perfect! I head over to the tree and look at it for a few minutes. I try to imagine what it would be like to be dreaming about this tree and meeting other dreamers here. I try to imagine what it would be like to have shared dreams again and to get a confirmed match. I close my eyes as I think about that and then I hear someone around me. When I open my eyes again there are people all around the tree! I don’t recognize them. My first thought is that I am now trespassing on private property and these people are going to be angry at me for being there even though I didn’t mean any harm. I think maybe I can slip away unnoticed, but as I am trying to leave, someone spots me. She comes over to me and says she knows me… I’m Raven Knight! She says she has heard a lot about me. So this person thinks I’m some kind of celebrity? I feel my face turn a bit red because I’m not sure where she might have heard of me. Then I think what she’s heard might not be good. I comment that you can’t believe everything you hear. She said she just wanted to see me use some of my dream powers. I am thinking that would be impossible because this isn’t a dream… but the others there also seem to want to see it so I decide to try. I focus on Damage Inc. by Metallica to create a fireball. The resultant fireball isn’t a huge one, but then I wasn’t really looking for a big one, I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt. I am glad I was able to produce a fireball at all, and everyone around seems to think it is quite impressive even though it isn’t something huge. Some of them want to see lightning, so I use Battery by Metallica to call a small bolt of lightning. Then someone asks if I can open a portal to take them to another dimension. I am thinking it is amazing enough that I am doing all these things when I’m not dreaming, can I open a portal? That would mean I can get out of this world! I am about to focus on Through the Never by Metallica to open a portal when I wake up. 07/07/14 Nuclear Firestorm I am at school. I look around and see everyone else has already left the classroom, so class is over. I wonder where my mind has been that I didn’t even notice that class had ended. I also notice I have no idea what the instructor has been talking about or if there’s anything I need to turn in that I haven’t handed in yet. I ask the instructor if there’s anything I still need to turn in, hoping it is not obvious that I haven’t been paying attention. He doesn’t seem to think there’s anything strange about my question and he just says no, I’m good. I take my things and leave the school. I get in my car to go home, but I am hearing a lot of strange things on the radio. It is weird that the radio is on, I never listen to the radio in the car, it’s always CD’s or my iPod. But there’s news on. Something about a nuclear explosion? WTF? I reach home, and it is much like the place I live in my waking life, so nothing seems out of place. I go inside and find my mother is all ready to go. She tells me to get what I need to keep and grab the cats and leave as soon as possible. She doesn’t bother saying why or where to go, just that. And she takes the dog and leaves the house. I am just standing there, puzzled. I start looking for the cats. We have three cats, but right now I can’t find any of them. I think I will also take my computer and hard drive so I won’t lose that. But the cats come first. I keep looking for the cats. I finally get to the back door, a sliding glass door, and I look outside. I see a strange green beam shooting from the sky, from some source I can’t see. I can tell it’s going to hit in the mountains. Somehow I know the beam will trigger a nuclear explosion, so being this close to it would not be good. I have to get out of here! I am frantically looking for the cats now. There’s no way I can leave them behind. I finally find one of them, my fluffy white cat named Princess. I scoop her into my arms and look around for my keys. Forget the carriers, there’s no time… now where are my keys?! I need to put Princess in the car and find the other two! After searching frantically for a couple minutes I realize how foolish I am being. There’s no way I can find two more cats and then get far enough from the blast to make a difference. I look outside again and the green beam is now solid and hitting the ground somewhere in the nearby mountains. Nothing to be done for it. I go away from the window and sit down in a corner at the far side of the house and wait. I see a blinding flash of light from behind the house. There was the blast. And shortly after it a searing wave of fire blasts through the house. I feel the heat as my body is incinerated, but not as pain, just as a warmth and a heavy wind. And as I feel the warmth everything fades to black. I wake up in bed and realize the nuclear detonation was just a dream. I come out of my room and find my mom fixing pancakes for breakfast. She smiles and asks how I am this morning. I say fine, and then tell her about my dream. I point out the window at the place the nuclear blast went off at. She says she is sure glad I survived and continues making pancakes. I find one of my kitties, the fluffy black one named Shadow, and I am petting her as I wake up for real.
non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening (...) With my mom, we see a mushroom explosion on the distance. We can't tell how far away it is, but everybody freaks out with the possiblity of being caught in the blast. After not so long we are hit by a wall of air and debris. I stupidly hold my breath, hoping not to inhale the radiation. But then I think "how stupid is that?" and just accept the inevitability. Then someone starts gathering people on a bus, so we can get the hell out of there. Someone else turns on the radio for news. I then realize something is not right "how did we get hit by air dislocation so quickly, but were not harmed and the EMP didn't destroy the electronics?". I conclude I'm dreaming, so I tell my mother to relax, we're just dreaming and let's use the opportunity to test how we would react in an emergency situation. Then it went from a dream to a simulation drill. LOL
General Text Dream Lucid Awake I could remember 3 dreams and 1 fragment this night. My dreams also didn't skip around scenes that much. Sadly the the first one is kind of a nightmare. I can at least laugh at it a little now though. Dark Magic in the Park The first dream of the night started with me standing on the sidewalk. In front of me was a large metal gate to the park. The dream started out pretty peaceful and normal (if you can call it that). I walked through the gate and I noticed a rhino and a lion standing at the side of the gate. "Hi Bull. Hi Tigger." I said to them casually. "Have fun at the park!" Bull told me. The park was mostly just a large open area of grass. There were also some trees, a few benches, some people, and a lot of squirrels running around. As I walked into the center of the park, I noticed a small hill with stone steps leading up to the top. When I reached the top of the hill, I saw quite a few people in red ceremonial robes, making a circle around a large rock. I think there were about 8-10 of them. As I approached them, they sensed my presence, and one man shouted, "Quick! Cast the spell now!" The sky dimmed a little, the rock started to glow, and I can only describe the feeling of it as evil. I ran back and ducked down behind the hill. There was a Japanese lady hiding behind the hill too. She was trying to protect a little girl. I realized that there were other people at the park in danger other than myself. I climbed back over the hill and yelled, "Stop the ritual!" As soon as I said this, one of the women in the group stared at me blankly. She reached out her hand towards me. She whispered, "Die..." A lightning bolt crashed down right in front of me. The blast sent me flying back to the bottom of the hill. The wind started to pick up, I could hear thunder, and there was lightning flashing in the sky. I heard one of the women in the group scream, "It's too powerful!" Another woman shouted, "We lost control of the spell!" I got back up and looked back over the hill again. "Uh oh..." Said one of the men in the group. I think I even heard one say, "lol wut?" I saw another flash in the sky and I made time slow down. A lightning bolt was slowly coming down right at the stone. I dived back down over the hill. I then heard an explosion fallowed by screams. So now the cultists were dead and they left us with storm of chaos. I looked back at the lady and little girl from earlier, but a orange lightning bolt hit the lady. She was able to protect the little girl, but she was erased from existance. I then decided to grab the girl and get away from the park. I started to run to the other side of the park, but orange lightning bolts were landing behind me and creating mini nuclear explosions. "Faster! Faster!" I started to say to myself to boost speed. The squirrels from earlier had red eyes now, and they started to bite at my legs. "Ow! Ow! Damn it! Ouch!" I continued to run though and then they were all killed by lightning bolt. This made me pick up speed and scream like a girl... "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" I approached the gate, but Bull and Tigger had red eyes and blocked my exit. "BULL!" (lol dream pun?) Even though there was a rhino and an oversized lion blocking the way I ran towards them anyways. I don't remember what happened from that point on. Fragment I was standing on the street with another Japanese woman. She was a news reporter, and I was told she was deaf. Although I was told she was deaf, in the dream I couldn't hear anything. She started to interview me. I was somehow able to guess what she was saying even though I was deaf. Sadly she was speaking Japanese and it was too fast for me to translate. I remember waking up after the fragment. I rolled over and wrote down a few notes about the dream in my journal. Thinking about the dream and the fragment started to confuse me so I just went back to sleep. My Thoughts on this Dream Ok so the rhino's name was Bull and the lion's name was Tigger? I guess those can be linked somehow... What can we learn from this? Lightning and explosions hurt, little furry creatures can never be trusted, and evil cultists are stupid. A question also just came to mind. How did the cultists get away with dark magic, in a public park, and in the middle of the day?

★★★ Romano again. I'm being forced to walk through endless winding hallways again with Romano. It's like navigating a maze. Climbing I'm in some strange tower and climbing it from the inside. At first i am walking up a staircase. a door leads to another staircase but it's blocked off. So I have to climb the walls. A while later I'm in my house playing hide and seek with someone. i enter a lower cupboard. I don't seem to think I'll fit in it. but sure enough I do fit. I close the door all that way but it won't stay closed. I am fidgeting with the door when someone walks by. Slides I'm walking with the waking life version of asuka. I see some theme park in canada with gigantic slides... They look fun. I say to her "I'm sorry canada doesn't have as good as themeparks as you guys do in japan. but we could still have fun here." A bomb I'm in a living room with a GIANT television screen. I hear someone giggle and say "Let's see if he remembers this." They sit me down, dim the lights and play a movie. On the screen which surrounds me almost, i see a town and then a huge flash. When the flash ends i am seeing a city being destroyed by a nuclear bomb. But not like far away and looking through smoke. I can actually see all the destruction as it happens. The scene shifts to another city where another bomb goes off. It's much brighter and it seems to almost reach out of the screen, I get frightened and back up a few inches on the couch and just watch some more.
