Fragment:

Some kind of false awakening, dream reality feels accurate to waking life. I get up and then am answering the door? It's early morning and it's sunny outside; the sun's position in the sky would make it late afternoon but in the dream I don't realise this, the light looks morning-like. There's a courier stood by a van on the left or something and I go to him, shielding my eyes from the sun's glare with my right hand. My eyes feel exactly as if I had indeed just gotten up and are taking long to adjust to the bright light and I squint. I take a package from the courier? There are other people around in the street but rest of details not recalled.

Fragment:

I'm in a building. A hall or palace, unsure. I'm part of a faction and I have some kind of battle equipment but little detail recalled and I go on some kind of patrols on my own in a city or town area. Then back at the palace place, one item I recall clearly on a table is an Axis-like medal with a skull at its centre. It's a pendant and it's mine. I take it and it has some kind of interface overlay saying it grants me "+2 fortune". There's some other pendant which I also take and it grants +1.

In the room I'm in, there are two large palace windows to a courtyard. A Nazi officer with some bodyguards or soldiers approach a door next to the windows. He knocks or something and waits patiently, I believe someone answers the door and the officer speaks. "I have been sent to speak to the queen", he says, or something to that effect. The door is shut and the man waits patiently outside, looking somewhat stiff in posture.

It is either dawn or night but it doesn't look so dark outside. Someone goes to get the queen; eventually she appears to my left in a dark corridor. She's in her night clothing and looks rather exposed or vulnerable as far as royalty goes. This is some ancient English queen, but I'm not sure who; possibly queen Victoria, I get a feel of. She stands a distance away from the door and it is opened now; she engages in some dialogue with the Nazi officer. Her face suggests mistrust, disgust and apprehension, possibly more so for having been woken in the night like this.

Notes:
- The second fragment was very long but I cannot recall enough of it to put into words; a lot of it seemed to take place in WH40k-like locations. There was a general feel of futuristic Warhammer mixed with WWII themes to the whole thing.

- The pendant I had also gave that feeling; as far as I can tell, it was like a medal awarded to me for valour in combat; I do not remember what the second pendant looked like. They were both on leather strings.

Unboxing my long-awaited package
I am sitting at my living room table, opening my long-awaited package. I look at my PTFE-sleeves I ordered. I then notice there is something wrong, but I do not remember what. There might also be a moment where I am looking at my order list on my computer.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid FA / AP

Picking up toys, like bikes and cars, from the side of the road, that some people threw away. But a lady tells me one of the cars I picked up is actually not tossed away, belongs to a kid who just happens to leave it outside after playing with it. I apologize and promise her to take it back as soon as possible. As we are standing at the front door of someone, a guy approaches and points to a bag on the floor with two postal packages inside, apparently just forgotten there. He asks if he can take it and we find suspicious, so we check the names of the recipient. My neighbor says she knows the person and will make sure the bag is delivered to her. The guy is insisting on taking it himself and we say no. He eventually leaves.

Meet Zilla and some other friends, they go to a snack-bar to eat something. They are regulars there. The managers are two alternative-looking girls, but the place looks very conventional. I study a poster on the wall, showing homemade biscuits with either caramel or strawberry jam and I feel like trying it. But I stay at the door, cause I am in a hurry and don't wanna sit down. Then my friends order some soups and they demand to the managers to have a free soup everyday for this group, since they are regulars and very good clients. I am interested in a free soup, so I then join them, pretending I have been part of this group of customers since ever. They know I am not, but they are really nice and offer me a soup anyway. It is very comforting.

I am in my old town house looking a television screen with a few other people I did not know. The screen was showing many things in till it went to complete static and somehow this made feel off. Suddenly I was suck in to the television where I can see my father opening a package. I get up and see a server who was seeming to experience pain. I go to her and ask her tell me what's wrong. She tells me that they are taking her and that the people on her job are holding her down. She then tries to tell me that she is being taken away and visibly her mental state grew worse.

I become lucid and tried to get over the rail to approach her and free her from what ever force was trying to take her. But as I got over the rail I lose my lucidity.

The dream scene was out in the country at this massive white house. The idea was I had the house to myself so I was throwing a party for my friends. Only moo and kolby were there so far so we go to the store next to the house. In the store there's a package of beer that I buy. Someone tells me I bought on a March Madness game that I lost which made me feel bad. We get back to the house and I realize the package of beer is actually just pepsi and packets of water. So, we go back to the store and ask the worker who's a woman about 50 years old if we can get a refund. She says that she has to come inspect the package back at the house so she comes with us. My friends keep bugging me that we need to drink or something but I'm trying to get this situation settled first. I'm yelling at my friends to do something for me and I'm getting upset. Several more of my friends arrive including grayson kyle and sam. I briefly greet them and then get back to this refund.

By now the worker has turned into my buddy johnny's mother. We're in this sewing room they use to have when we were kids. The dream goes somewhere else, I think to another house close by near the ocean.

1st dream: I was brushing my teeth and one of my front teeth was black and rotting. I started to freak out and tried to brush the tooth but I couldn't remove the black crust that covered it. I rinsed out my mouth and was inspecting the tooth whenever I suddenly became impatient and pulled the rotting tooth out. For some reason removing the tooth was life or death.

2nd dream: I was cleaning something for my mom whenever I saw 3 spiders. They were gigantic but they didn't move. It really freaked me out but I couldn't run away for some reason.

3rd dream: Jed came to my office at work. He seemed really happy and was all smiles. He was in his air force uniform, in his hand he had a wrapped up jacket for me but there was something in the middle. I never looked at what it was becuase I went to give him a hug and he started to kiss me. Which for some reason I was unbothered that my boss was in the office as this whole ordeal went down.

Date of Dream: TUE 29 AUG - 2017



Dream No. 187 - Mysterious Packages

My memory of the first scene is blurry. I think it took place at the parking lot of Stud Park Shopping Centre. My dad was talking to one of the TAFE teachers RH but I forgot about what exactly. The next dream scene took place at my old house. The post had just arrived and I brought it into the sitting room. There was a red envelope which was weirdly an invitation to one of my old high school teacher's wedding. I then went on to look at the next delivery, which was contained in a knapsack. The person who sent the contents in the knapsack had sent it for a birthday gift for me. Inside it were all these beads to make jewellery.

After I had enough examining the bag, I went to see my mum in the kitchen. I said that I was curious to know what the time is. My mum said it was six 'o' clock... But it was broad daylight. I looked at the analogue clock though and it most certainly read ten to six. I then asked my mum if I should go and check on what RH was doing in one of the other rooms in the house. She said not to worry about it as she didn't feel like going out for dinner. The dream ended there.

Morning of July 27, 2016. Wednesday.



Even though I am fully lucid, I had entered a very skewed version of “When Wakes the Dreamer!” (first read around age twelve in 1973 in Eerie Magazine). My wife Zsuzsanna is outside talking with an unknown female. They are looking at the horizon at what are apparently unusual events related to the supposed HAARP (apparently closed in 2014) conspiracy. It also seems there may be some sort of military action but not as an imminent threat. San Francisco, as in the story, is “gone”. Misty “tendrils” of either smoke or cloud rise in the distance, some tongue-like.

As I am listening to Zsuzsanna and this unknown female speak, I look up at the nighttime sky and see a huge cloud. It looks much like a human face, mostly like Doug in a particular panel of “When Wakes the Dreamer!” though oddly in the negative (even though I do not recall seeing it in photographic negative at any time in my past). (The word balloon with the image had read “Just moments ago you said that I was aware of things that the mass media would never realize existed! Perhaps!”)

Still, Doug’s huge visage almost seems like pareidolia in the back of my mind (especially as seeing a face in the clouds is a common form of pareidolia - and even though it is a dream, I do not want to embarrass myself). I mostly stare in awe at the sky. I am not that concerned about the female of whom Zsuzsanna is talking to regarding the so-called HAARP weapon. I never draw their attention to this weird cloud at any point even though I consider doing so.

His “tongue” seems to extend and go up along the left side of his face almost to his “forehead” - which is almost like a separate vertical cylindrical cloud formation, not quite like a tornado, but becoming more like a giant pale vertical tomato worm cocoon (distorted by elongation and being rendered in photographic negative). Still, the more closely I stare at it, the more eerie (no pun intended) it appears.

If Doug is the dreamer of my dream, where does that leave me? Certainly it is not my face in the clouds. I find myself wandering through an alley and “returning” to our home, though it is a mostly unfamiliar residence still deemed to be ours.

I discover a package that looks much like a miniature pillow (obvious dream sign) which seems to be on our bed (another obvious dream sign). I am aware it contains a small amount of various organic herbs and seeds that we had ordered, which were quite expensive. However, when I go closer, everything starts popping out of the package, though each at a different time, such as maize flour (the first to somehow “jump” through the unwrapped package), sunflower seeds, fennel seeds, and seemingly thistle seeds as one of the last features (the kind you “make a wish” on). I do not want all of this wasted, so I eat the small amount of maize flour as well as some of the sunflower seeds and fennel seeds that later emerge. (I believe this segment was caused by sounds in my real environment at the time and my dream trying to resolve these sounds by including both dream signs and very slight “nourishment” and an analogy to increasing awareness of physicality.)

1-28-15 Fragments - Package received (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream Fragment (0.5 pts)

This dream comes from a package that is delayed and my wife is waiting for.

I heard the door opening and some delivery man had a package. It was a small brown box, with a lot of tape and about a feet long. My wife was in the kitchen and started to open it. I told her if it was the package she was waiting for and she said yes. I was wondering how it could be so small because it was a big purchase.

Dream Title: The package
Dream:

I am running between tents in an extremely busy campsite. In my hand is a package, that is quite small. Quickly, I run in and out of the tents that are there as I spot my brother nearby. 2 people are chasing him because they think he has the package. He is running from my right across to my left and as we meet in the middle, the people see that I have the package and I know they are after me now. Sneakily, I throw it up in the air and my brother catches is and carries on running. We manage to trick them and they continue to follow me.

I keep running and I eventually come to the youth centre. Running around the back, I blend in with people there. I make my way to the back door and step inside. Luckily, some of them know what’s happening and open a door to my left which leads to a bright white basement that is awkward to get to because you have to use a badly placed ladder. I feel really excited like when you play hide and seek and you’re trying not to be seen. The people tell me when it’s safe to come out, so I step outside. They are now chasing my brother again.

I sprint back to my house and my brother is there, running in circles so that they can’t catch him. Continuing past him, I head towards the house opposite us’ back garden. Without looking at my brother, I automatically catch the package that he threw and I have a good head start on them. When I get to the back garden a thought pops into my head that it’s not normal to be able to run this fast for so long, but I dismiss it and continue. The garden looks a lot like my grandma’s but to the left is a small supermarket.

Suddenly, the woman is in front of me, so I move to the left and do a wall run move, but on a tree and I get past. Halfway through the wall run, I throw the package to Adam, who is a bit ahead of me. We both carry on running to the back entrance of the shop and go inside. Slowing down to a walk, we quietly make our way through. He is on the aisle to the right of me. Banging footsteps sound near him, and the package comes flying over the top into my hands. My vision stops on the woman stood about 15 metres ahead. I sense the man behind me as well, and start to run at the woman. Trying to catch me, she jogs as well. About a metre before get to her, I drop to the floor and slide under the shelves of food stuff. As the momentum of my slide begins to stop, I rise to my feet and dive out of the window. It happens in slow motion and I can see the shards of glass as the fall.

While I’m still diving out of the window, I throw the package to my brother who is running back up the garden from my left to my right. Behind me I hear the man say something like,

“F****** hell!”

They run after him again and shortly after, a package comes through the air from somewhere. I hide it under my t-shirt, and walk back to the broken window of the shop and lay down on the floor. My thoughts at this moment are that I can act as if I’m a random person that was hurt when the window broke. Soon after, the woman comes back and asks if I am okay. I nod and say I’m not too bad, but she gives me a suspicious look as if she knows me. Suddenly we hear a vibrating noise. I look around (Like when someone whistles when they try to act natural) but we both know the package is vibrating.

As she is about to grab it I pull it out and throw it back outside and I know someone has got it. The woman then grabs her hair in frustration and does a mumbled scream thing. She then says,

“You annoying b*tch”

And walks out of the window.

Personally, I thought it was hilarious.

12/9/2011
I'm at my old house. I get into a secret room in this Atlantis video game. I'm trying to tell M about it. A guy is over here, and a van full of his friends arrives. I'm in my bedroom with him and a couple that came in the van. He makes fun of the bedspread with hearts and asks me how old I am. I tell him. I feel embarrassed.

I'm in the backyard, now. A guy approaches me. He looks at me funny. I think he's drunk. I back away. He barfs on me. I scream. It gets everywhere, even in my mouth. Disgusting. I need to be clean.

I find a package in my room and open it, thinking it must be a present for me. It's Magic: the Gathering cards. I got a present for someone else?
