All DJ Entries

I have been watching a lot of Supernatural lately, which is an obvious contributer to this dream. I am writing this late in the day, so the dream is fuzzy at best.

The first thing I remember is being in a flat, grassy area near the ocean, with a shipyard made of those vertical logs sharpened on the end. I am a female version of myself named "Maddie." Some type of battle happened between Lucifer and some angels, where my contribution was . More stuff I don't remember happened, then Lucifer had a human body, and I was on a rather small wooden ship with him, just chatting away at night. Then some angels attacked, and I tried to convince them it was all a misunderstanding of some type, but then Lucifer grabbed me and took me to safety. We were now in some weird vertical tunnel (a hole for you unimaginative types), with a bunch of platforms, plants, and random video game-esque creatures. We talked some more, and I also talked to some "demons" (the quotes are there because in this dream, they are basically misunderstood scapegoats).

(i recall multiple dream fragments)
1) one other person and i are on a small raft in the ocean, the sun is setting and we paddle towards it, 2)it is night time, i wonder a urban area and find a area where there are 5 to 10 dog houses in the parking lot of a store i see a dog in one and a lady wearing a fur coat tells me "i don't want him growing up to be mean so don't harm him" in a slightly annoyed voice. 3) my triops hatch and i feed them as they swim in their tank. 4) my friend and i are in a school kitchen and they give up peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, as i eat it i taste the most offensive flavor i believe i have ever tasted, its like soap mold and skunk .they ask our opinion and i try to politely say it wasn't good but what i end up saying is "its ok" 5)there is a mechanical spider and a biological spider on the floor, the biological spider got stepped on and someone starts telling me about how "nothing is indestructible but machines."

Special powers (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I remember having these special powers. I could control almost anything I wanted to, except for people. It was like being the Avatar. Before I knew that I had these powers, I was in a gymnasium with a couple of people. We were dribbling basketballs I think, and we weren't doing much else.

I met a friend who was always very sweet to me. She would never utter a mean word. There was another girl who was also my friend, but she was a bit mean.

At one point, I figured out the powers that I had. This part was weird. My nice friend and I were walking in the sea (yes, the ocean). I see an island. The island is held up above in the sky, and the only thing holding up the island is a very large rock similar to a volcano shape.

I knew in my gut that the island was somehow in trouble. Suddenly, I heard screaming. The island began to topple from its pedestal. I ran towards it as fast I could, sometimes willing the water to take me there. I jumped up to the island, landing on the surface.

I stood on the topmost peak. People were around me, looking at me. Just then I held the island with my will. The creaking stopped. The slipping stopped. All was silent.

I lifted up my hands. I heard a big groan of rock separating from rock. I then pushed my hands forward slowly. The island then ascended slowly down into the water where it belonged. In the front to the right of me was a small pen. Inside this pen were some weird animals; they looked like baby Pterodactyls. They lifted up their huge heads and started to sing. I sounded weird, but a little bit of beautifulness was behind it.

Just then the dream zoomed forward. My nice and mean friends were with me in the library. I stood beside my nice friend. I looked at my other friend and said, "We've decided to mutate this gene, so we can keep it in the family." (What? I think I was talking about my power, but I wasn't sure) The mean friend stamped off, screaming.

Then I woke up.

This was my first really vivid lucid dream that lasted longer then a few seconds.

I've been keeping a dream journal for a lot longer then this. It has an easy 20+ entries and I rather not re-record them since they are almost always this detailed so they won't ever be on this site unless I mention them in forum posts. I mostly use a lazy version of WBTB/DILD. Also, it gets kind of awkward towards the end. Just a heads up.

Non Lucid

I was in a helicopter. There was a TV on the side of the helicopter. It was playing a news report about Norman Osborn. (a.k.a. The Green Goblin) The reporter said something like this: "Norman Osborn, the owner of Oscorp, has recently been revealed as the Green Goblin. This happened due to some footage being leaked to local news channels." While the reporter was taking images of a man with a green face and bulging, puffed up cheeks were being shown. (Apparently Osborn) The little news caption thing was "GREEN GOBLIN REVEALED"

The scene changed and I was Spider-Man. I was wearing the costume from the new movie that is coming out. I was just web swinging around tall buildings and eventually found a group of thugs on a roof. I landed on the roof and began fighting them. The style of combat was reminiscent of Arkham Asylum. Finished fighting them. Began swinging again. I distinctly remember the windows being tinted orange and swinging very close to the buildings for some reasons. There were also some moments that focused on where my web shoots hit buildings. (I know, lots of super hero related stuff. My dreams are usually about different things though)

Dream scene changed again. (happens A LOT in my dreams) I was driving on what appeared to be a highway overpass. I believe my dad was giving me directions somewhere. I get off the overpass and am going down a straight road. At the end of the road there was a long bridge. There was also a road to the right I could turn on. I was getting irritated and intended to turn right but missed it. I start on the bridge, which seemed to be stretched over the ocean. The bridge was soaked with water. It may have been raining. I was driving poorly. I remember almost hitting cars. At some point, an Asian girl appeared in the passenger seat. She was very perky and happy. It took a while but we finally made it over the bridge. We pulled over. My Dad greeted us as we got out of the car. The Asian girl cracked a joke about my poor driving which made me awkwardly laugh. I start to walk away and enter what appears to be a small medieval fort. Sort of looked like this but in the shape of a square:

I looked up towards the walkways. There were demons all over them. They were all staring down at me. I think we talked a little too. I go to cross the bridge again but it has been replaced with a zipline-type thing. I grabbed the rope and start trying to cross but the water in the ocean had been replaced by undead hands. They reached up at me and tried pulling me down. Suddenly, I turn into a Thor-like entity and am flying towards the fort with an army. I coerce the demons into a battle. My army and I control the fort. The demons have a fort on the other side of the sea of the undead. We start battle. Explosives and yelling all around.

Lucid

Suddenly out of nowhere, I obtained lucidity. The demons were flinging giant yellow spikes at us. Three of them were heading towards me. I began yelling "That's not going to work! I know I'm dreaming now!" I then held out my hand and began to psychically manipulate the spikes. I turned them around and flung them back at the demons while shouting something like, "Take these back!" I saw two more being flung at us a couple feet from where I was so I ran over there and did the same thing. Saw a giant monster looking thing emerging from the demon's fort so I did a Special Beam Cannon. (Which is weird considering I haven't seen DBZ in years)

Here is what it looks like:

I woke very briefly after this. It was about 7:30. Fell back asleep.

I was in an apartment with a sort of gangly, tall, Caucasian chick with brown hair. There may have been another person with us but they went out the front door quickly. It was early in the morning and there were orange rays of light shining in through the windows. I decided to go up to her and hug her. She responded well. We whispered romantic junk to each. We began kissing. After a while, we started looking at our clothes and getting dressed. I was dressing very well because I had to go to work. We finished and went outside. Our apartment complex was near the ocean. There was a hill and a walkway along the water. We walked for a while and parted was at an odd looking building with a ramp going up it's sides.

I believe the time of day shift. The scene changed and I was on my way to meet the chick in a field with a tree in the center. On my way to the field, I decided to tell the girl this was a dream. For some reason, I had a very strong attraction towards her. I got to the field and hugged her. There were plenty of other people in the field. I was trying to tell her but she just kept smiling and ignoring me. Also, she some how made a clone of me appear. I got frustrated and yelled out to the other people. I yelled, "Isn't anyone else dreaming right now?" A few feet away from me there was a African American man with a goatee dressed in 'gangsta' clothes who was walking with a girl. He looked over to me and smiled. He also waved.

I came close to losing lucidity and waking but I managed to stay asleep. I was then walking up to my apartment. I entered it and it looked like very different. Kind of like a fancy magazine publisher's office. The gangly girl from before started marching up to me. She was mad at me. Said I was playing around. I told her to calm down. She asked if I knew her name. I didn't. She told me it. It was my mom's name so I told her I'm not interested in girls with my mother's name. She flipped out.

The scene changed but I think I was still in the same building. There was a bar and a party going around it. I remember multi-color lights flashing. There was a huge crowd stuffed behind the counter. I noticed a blonde girl on the far left getting super drunk. I thought to myself, "And now I just have to wait until she says the H-word. 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . ." Then the drunk girl said, "Maaan, I am super horny!" Right after this a huge group of guys swarmed her, trying to have sex with her. I jumped in and grabbed her and pulled her through a door behind the bar. I slammed the door shut but a single guy got through. He had a red shirt and brown hair. I just thrust my hand towards him and shouted disappear. It took a few moments but he did vanish. The girl took off her shorts and revealed her vagina. I started rubbing it and was going to start having sex with her but I started rapidly losing lucidity. Once I couldn't hang on anymore I woke up.

Well, some of this is fuzzy since I'm just NOW typing this, but I'll remember what I can.
"The great, big ocean! AAAH!" I said, breathing out a sigh of contentment. The ocean was the place to be, the perfect place to explore. What's that? Nothin' out there? Avast with ye!
Okay, so no, I'm just pirate talking because it sounds funny. Let's get this ship on the move! Since I've never piloted a boat of any kind, I didn't really know what the hell I was even doing.
I turned the whatawhat and pushed the giggamajag and set sail. My crew...eh, who were they again? They were staying down in the lower parts of the boat. The boat itself wasn't anything special, but give it some time, and I'd have her upgraded before you know it. It was a pretty small ship, all in all.
As we sailed farther and farther away from the shore, I started to get this panicky feeling, but didn't know why.
"Eh?" I grunted, looking out from the front of the boat. Rising out of the water were about 8 or 9 dolphin fins, circling around the boat. At first, I panicked, thinking them to be sharks, but on closer inspection realized that they were indeed simply dolphins. I calmed down and tried to steer the ship forward and out of the ring of dolphins. As soon as the ship passed over one of the fins, I could see a dolphin jumping out of the water out of the corner of my eye. I turned towards it.
"AAAAAAAH!" I screamed.
The dolphin flew straight at me and hit me like a cannonball, knocking me off the ship and into the water. I could feel myself resting upon the back of the dolphin, and could sense it swimming impossible speeds out deeper into the ocean. I could barely breathe, the water constantly covering my face, only surfacing for a milisecond of breath, then back down again.
And then I woke up. The weird part was that I woke up breathing hard, as if I really was running out of air like I was in the dream. I've had that kind of thing happen before in certain dreams. Blah. All in all though, pretty funny dream when you consider the ninja psycho dolphins.

Dream; Semi-Lucid; Lucid; Memorable; 1-4 My Recollection;

Woke 4:30am
My brother had the tv on while I slept.
Going to bed at sunset.

2; I fell into sleep a bit restless. I slept very warmly and deeply. Some way through I became conscious of being in a deep dream but wasn't lucid. It picked up along the course of my brothers army training. I remember training and the next thing my brother smiled at what was happening.. Deep in the ocean I was set among other people scaling a cement wall, with weighted gear under the water. Climbing the structure, it became electrified and we endured our way through the SHOCK, and up the ocean wall to the top which became another dream outside of the water. It ended as I watched someone finish.. The next dream celebrated.



here there's sunlight

I have 3 dreams to share, happened this past week. Been having a dry-spell til recently (practicing ADA, helps a lot).

The Monastery Date: 6/2/12
I was with two females. I was female myself in this dream. It was dark outside, cloudy, mucky, generally nasty looking. The two females and myself were wearing skin tight suits (not latex or anything, something along the lines of evangelion suits.). We worked with some private company or government of unknown origins. For some reason, our mission was to find some type of artifact in the Monastery (as it looked). It was a dark building with a spire and a few colored windows. While searching through the building, we must have triggered a trap because giant stone guardians we looking to fuck our shit up. We were not equipped with any weapons, thus we split up and hid. I found a nice dark corner behind a wall of glass that had vertical white plastic blinds hanging down them. I knew one was following me and smelling for me. However, on the opposite corner of the room, another one appeared and as it turned its head around, scanning the room, I ran out the nearest door and hid under a large stone table where it was dark. To my surprise, the other two females were there, though they were very battered. We called in two medics to assist us. -End-

Plains of Clouds Date: 6/5/12
Very strange area in my dream. The sky was overcast, yet the clouds were about 10 feet off the ground (~3 meters). I witnessed a strange phenomenon, however. The underside of the clouds were a bright, golden yellow, as if the sun was shining from underneath; the sun could not be see. People had ladders leaned against the clouds and were climbing on top of them. The clouds seemed so dense, you could walk on top of it, as if they were solid.

Star Ocean Battleships Date: 6/6/12
Several others and I were on some raft, like a military raft about to board onto a ship. The ships we were about to board were huge, about twice the size of a U.S. aircraft carrier. I do not know the ship class however (freighter, carrier, frigate, battleship, etc..). The ships were in front of us, one on our left and right. The ship on our right was a silver-blue with strange sails underneath the ship, as its mode of transportation. The ship on our left was red with beige lining and seemed to float like a normal ship. I could not tell whether the ships were fighting each other, or meeting face-to-face. Both seemed to sit there, about 150 meters apart. There were little islands to the north-east of the blue ship. It had small islets that you could walk on and a rocky shallow that was about a couple inches deep that bridged the mini isles. As our raft approached, a "woman of the sea" boarded our raft. I say this because she came out of the water, randomly. No one on the raft seemed to care, and she found a seat next to me. She was naked, yet beautiful. I couldn't make her out in detail because the sky was dark, filled with bright stars. Our craft landed and the crew that was with me seemed to disappear. The woman and I walked across the islands where we passed a cabin that was filled with warm light. We did not enter the cabin, for it was not ours, and we instead walked around it onto a longer stretch of island. We proceeded to have intercourse, though I do not remember what caused this to happen. It was dark and I couldn't see where she was in terms of her position atop of me. As I grabbed my genitals so I could insert into her's, I could feel her, what I presumed to be, vagina against the back of my hand. It felt accurate in detail. Then we proceeded to do what mammals do best, in terms of production.

These dreams were semi-lucid, I could feel parts of the dream yet I had no control over them. I was not even prompted to do the reality checks because they felt natural and real, regardless of the situation. I am practicing ADA to overcome this problem.

Sadness
Genre: Tragedy
Non-Lucid

I was in my old High School. I was back with a few others from the school, we were brought back to talk to the biology students. We were apparently experts in the subject. There was five of us, we each took turns talking to the class. Next thing I know, I am in the corridor with a girl who I was friends with at school. We are walking down when I notice a bank machine, I go up to it and insert my card. However, for some reason my pin doesn't work, then I realize I'm putting it in wrong. I finally get in. My memory goes fuzzy at this point and the next thing I remember is sitting on a cliff, looking out over the ocean, even though there is no ocean where I live for miles, nor any cliffs. I remember I am sad about something. I remember one of my best friends had passed away. She had died in a car crash. Another of my friends came up to me, and walked with me down a street. I don't remember what she was saying though. I then woke up.

Dream # 1:

I was in my house, walking down the hall. My mother was talking on the phone loudly. She was arguing with someone. I walked into the kitchen, and she had some papers in front of her on the counter. She was talking about a warranty. I figured that it must be the warranty for our driveway. She angrily hung up the phone, and I asked her if they were going to honor the warranty. Then I woke up.

Dream # 2:

I was at the ocean, and it was night time. The moon was full and provided plenty of light for me. I walked along the coast line, and the waves rolled in and out. There was a tall cliff face to my left, several hundred feet away from the water line. There were also buildings along the shore, mostly houses. One building in particular was a small guesthouse.

I walked into the guesthouse, and I saw a mirror in the hallway. I noticed that I was wearing my bathing suit. For some reason, I turned on the light. I could see someone stirring in bed in the next room, so I quickly turned the light off. I walked into the room, and I saw two queen-sized beds pushed up next to each other, probably to save space, because it was a small room.

There was one person in each bed. I could see that Curly from the Three Stooges was in the left bed, and an unknown person was in the right bed. So I climbed into the right bed and snuggled up close to the person in it. I fell asleep.

Next thing I remember, it is morning, and Curly is gone. One of my biology professors was walking around the room. He was the one in the bed with me during the night. When he noticed I was awake, he told me, "Good Morning." His hair was a mess and he was in his pajamas. He left the room and was gone for maybe five minutes. When he returned, he was dressed for the day and his hair was neatly combed. He also brought breakfast with him. We talked for a little while, but I don't remember what we talked about. At this point I woke up.

Dream # 3:

I returned to the previous dream at the ocean. I was still with my biology professor, but we were leaving a mall. He had a bag full of purchases, but I don't know what they were. Outside, we met one of my chemistry professors. He told us that he was excited about going to Belize.

The three of us walked back to the guesthouse, and we all had suitcases waiting for us. They were black, and the kind with wheels. We took our suitcases and walked outside. There was a sidewalk now, and we walked along it with our suitcases trailing behind us. We eventually came to a large van, and several students were loading their luggage into the back. I recognized a few of them that had gone to Belize with me (IRL), but there were several I had never seen before. I counted the students and realized that there wasn't room for me, and that I must not have signed up for the trip.

I asked my professor if the roster was full. He said, "Yes, but even if it wasn't, how would come up with the money in so short a time?" I stood to the side and watched everyone get into the van. Another student I had traveled with was standing with me. I guess he didn't remember to sign up, either. I was angry that I didn't get to go, and I wondered how I missed signing up. Then I woke up.

Alright, this is my first dream journal post. I'm going to be porting a large number of the entries from my actual handwritten journal onto this website. Keep in mind, however, that my dreams tend to be incredibly dark and obscure. Anyway, all this said, let us begin.

Strength: Vivid
Type: Creepy-Chaotic
Lucidity: No

In my dream, I was in a sort of dock city. I was walking with someone else whose exact identity I cannot recall. We were walking beside water on a sort of boardwalk. At the beginning of our walk, the buildings lining the sides of the boardwalk were clean and fresh. But as we continued, the buildings grew dirtier and darker. It was almost as if we were entering a slum area. We kept walking. Slowly, the buildings fell into decay. The boards lining our pathway were rotting, the bricks were falling, and the doors, having lost support of their hinges, simply lay at the opening of each decrepit house. About a mile or two in, I saw the first corpse. He was lying outside of his house, mangled and bloody. As I continued, more bodies lined the floor. For whatever reason, I just kept walking.

What once appeared as a slum was now a ruin. Pieces of roof and debris lined the floor. Bodies lay in piles, pools of blood collecting beside them. The water beside me grew rough, and the ground became slippery with blood. Everything was coated in a shade of red. Then, I reached a dead end, where the boardwalk had simply rotted away to nothing. And there, standing at the edge of the dock, was a tall, dark, humanoid creature. His figure was illogical and chaotic, constantly contorting, while his head remained stationary. He just stood there, staring at me. It was then that I finally halted my forward shuffle. Both of us stood there, staring each other down. Then, all of a sudden, the rough water began to rise. It collected around my heels, swallowing the boardwalk and washing over my body. I lost sight of the creature. However, even with the water collecting around me, I remained frozen, staring straight ahead into space. Just as the water passed my head, I awoke.

1) Ok, this one was rather strange.. There was some huge fair/parade going through town so basically everyone was centralized in the streets. I picked up a Gatling gun and started killing everyone I saw. I just mowed them all down. The strange part was that all the people I knew, loved, or cared for, the bullets did nothing to. It was as if something stopped the bullets from hurting those who never hurt me. I had a few conversations and killed practically everyone in town. Kill'n the mayor was the funnest, just say'n.
2) Ok, this one topped that one on strangeness. I was like a fish or some'm with a bunch of friends who were fishes too. We were trying to swim from like this river to the ocean to the bottom or some'm. Strange...
3) There was a third dream.. I believe it was before the first one I wrote. But when you have this many random dreams you tend to forget the first few...

(guy screaming) Frogs! Frogs!
(some dude on the street) That guy has some serious frogs in his wall.
Tell me what's making you jump like that? FIMW - Frogs in my wall. How can I qualify for goverment grants? FIMW - Frogs in my wall

Like that? I made my dream into a song. You see I put my dream into this device, and it turns it into a song. I call it the dream-songinator. Good right?

LOL - jk jk

You can tell the obvious Phineas & Ferb references here. My dream really was about frogs in my wall, I had a huge gaping hole in my wall next to my bed. There were cold drafts coming through it. I did not like it. What a mess this is going to be to repair. I was still laying in bed, to tired yet to do anything really about it. I could see the frogs had crawled into the opening and up into the wall, big ones. I'm trying to reach up past my pillow and managed to beat one fist on my wall saying "Get out frogs!" The frog where I beat on the wall only crawls up inside further, I go "uuugghhh". The only thing that hasn't come in are squirels to look for food in my pants! And yes I have dirty clothes on my floor in the dream too.

As I look down at my bedroom floor, I notice there are 2 birds in here as well. At least they only came in to eat the insects that came in, good birds, keep eating them I don't need the insects in here either. They are poking around in the insulation that is deterioating, that is where most of the bugs are. I look up at the frogs again and I say "you're so dead once I get out of this bed!" I try to rest again, but just a little. My cousin Amie comes in my house, and I get up to talk to her. I'm sure she sees the hole in my wall, but she doesn't say anything about it. My cousin lives next to me in my dream, as in her house is next to mine. And I think our houses are in a trailer court, and may in fact be mobile homes.

My cousin tells me she has met my girlfriend earlier, and by the way she says it I can tell that she doesn't like her. My cousin was like "was that your girlfriend Amy I met earlier?" as we are walking down my hall away from my bedroom. I remember I was talking to her I just don't remember much else what was said. After that I woke up. My real cousin Amie lives almost a thousand miles away from me. She has not met my girlfriend Amy either.

After making a mental note of this dream, I go back to sleep again. I find myself on this boat, shaped more like a small barge. There is some guy with me, and we are going around measuring the depths of the bay. As we do this I get an underwater view of how deep the area we are covering is, as in 3 rd person view, I don't actually go underwater. At least I think I don't. As we are passing an underwater ridge that is on the way out to open sea, I start waking up. As I start waking up, the last thing I hear is: "Let us go down to the deepest depths. Let us breach the spirit of the brotherhood." It is in a male voice, and he sounds as though he were reading a line from Poe or Lovecraft.

An interesting side note, the night before I was trying to lengthen my falling to sleep so I could better categorize the stages. I got to hearing the voices speak to me, I caught enough to remember a female voice say, "that knight is stuck in your house, your garden overdue for repair." A little bit after that I remember jerking awake, as if I did a mini jump in my bed and my whole body felt as though it shook. Those frogs were so begging me to go lucid on them, I didn't know why I didn't. I just felt so tired in my dream. One more minute of that situation though.... my cousin pulled me out of my bed and away from that hole in my wall. I'm coming back for you frogs, you're not getting off that easy! lol

Here is a link in case someone hasn't seen the Phineas & Ferb song I was referencing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKL6W...eature=related

Dream:

I had a dream that was at least semi lucid. My recall was not great, so I can't really appreciate it.

I do remember being in the ocean and having the waves pass over me. I remember thinking that the waves didn't feel as wet as they should have. Later I remember running around through some stores at the shore, and pulling up my shirt and showing everyone my boobs. So typical of my dream self.

To be honest this is one of the reasons I don't talk a lot about lucid dreaming to real life people (except those really close to me) because I am afraid they will want to learn more and if I point them to Dreamviews they will find my DJ with all my odd dream habits.

Lucid Dream:

I was running around on some docks by the ocean when I suddenly knew I was dreaming. I decided I wanted to do flips off the dock into the ocean and see what that felt like while lucid. So I tried to run to the end of the dock. For some reason the end wouldn't come. I was always about 4 feet from the end. Finally I had to stop running and just take it one step at a time to the end. Then I jumped and flipped. I seemed to go in very slow motion. Slow enough that I could watch the land as it spun upside down around me until I landed in the water. I found that so fascinating that I got out and did it again. This time my flip was faster. It was like the first time my mind really wanted to see and appreciate the motion of the flip. Once it had, it let me do the next one in a more normal speed.

But that's all the dream I got. I woke up before I could try anything else.

But I woke up happy because this was my first lucid in weeks. I had been stuck in a dry spell.

Type: Regular dream.
Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Notes:
Holy crap. I recalled seven dreams between last night (8 hours) and a nap that I took this afternoon (4 hours). The majority of these dreams were very vivid, but sadly there were no lucids. I'll try to publish them all over the next few days.

It was just beginning to get dark; the sky was a pale mid-blue in color. My father and I were outside on a dark wooden dock, which was slightly rotted from age. This dock was attached to a decently-sized island filled with Mexican-style buildings. We could see indiscernible land all around us in the distance, between this island was in the middle of a lake. The water was dark, not quite black but bordering on it. Near and under the L-shaped dock, it was lighter because the water was shallower. The long part of the dock's "L" shape went onto the land, while the short part went along the side of it, and this part of the dock went out a good eight or nine feet away from the island, sinking down a little bit the further out it went.

There were only three or four people around, and they were a good ways away from the dock. My dad and I walked down the dock and arrived at the edge, looking down into the shallow part of the water, which was a nice turquoise color that gradated from the blacker parts. I could see some sand very faintly at the bottom. My dad decided to go swimming; this is one of the first instances where I can almost completely visualize what someone was wearing: he was wearing jeans with a slight blackness to them, as if he had walked through soot or something, and he was wearing a purple and orange thick-striped shirt with two white buttons on the collar, which was popped. A strange clothing choice, but meh... My subconscious is weird.

He pulled his shirt down a bit, and it seemed to lengthen as he did; it was now halfway down to his knees. A swimsuit of sorts, maybe?

Then, my dad kneeled down and put one leg over the dock at a time, then slowly got into the water. I watched him wade outwards from the dock, but then I saw a few dark - and ridiculously realistic, down to the lighting and textures - shapes floating on the water, heading for him. There were four of them; they were scattered around the water and not really following a line or anything. They were dark, dark green, and shaped exactly like pistachio shells - two curved half-ovals which were only attached on one side, and they had some short lighter green tentacles which reminded me of leeches, but they were slimmer and longer. Their bodies were on top of the tentacles, which fanned out in a circle underneath, and the tentacles probably had a span of only a foot from tip-to-tip.

I called out, "dad, get out of the water!" because I knew these creatures were dangerous. My dad turned around to see them floating towards him. One of them, the closest one, opened its mouth to reveal tiny, razor-sharp black teeth and a larger mussel for a tongue. It swam quickly over to him as he tried to pull himself onto the dock, and he got up, but not before it fastened its tentacles onto his arm and stuck there. The tentacles wrapped around it and wouldn't let go, and he had to try very hard to tear them off. "It's implanting poison into my arm!" my dad said, freaking out. If the tentacles were on his arm more than a few seconds, he would die because poison would seep into his arm.

Two of the tentacles were wrapped around from his left side, while the other two were wrapping from the opposite direction. They looked lighter and more translucent while on his arm, but when I pulled the four tentacles off his arm, with his help, they looked darker. I grabbed the creature by its body and threw it into the water. I saw no marks on his arm, but we were still both very scared.

The dream ended with my dad having a scared look on his face, which looked genuine even though I'd never seen him look like this in real life.
