    1. After the Storm

      by , 02-07-2013 at 04:27 PM
      This was a nice, very vivid LD where I was reunited with a long-gone childhood pet. It was more difficult than usual to connect to my tasks and goals. In fact, I could remember very little from waking life. I'm wondering whether this is because it was galantamine night, which required me to use an extremely short WBTB.

      And my ever-reliable nose pinch RC let me down!

      Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

      Lucid #63: After the Storm

      I'm walking with my 3-year-old E in the back yard of what I think is our family home. The yard is vast, wild, and overgrown. As we walk, a Golden Retriever comes up to us and starts sniffing my hand. He looks almost exactly like the dog that I had when I was a kid, but I dismiss this as coincidence.

      I wonder how this dog got into our yard. E, the dog, and I walk to to edge of the property and I see that the entire fence is destroyed. Nothing but a couple of snapped fenceposts remain. Looking further out, I see that our next door neighbor's house has been utterly destroyed.
      I think that this must be a dream. I perform the nose pinch reality check and can't breathe. I try it again and still can't breathe. "Oh shit," I think. "This is really happening."

      The three of us walk further through town. Everywhere we look, houses are toppled and people sift dispiritedly through the rubble. I tell my son, "E, I think there's been a big tornado. Daddy's going to figure this out."

      We walk across an empty four-lane road. Some of the shops on this road are open, which strikes me as odd. I RC again, pushing my finger into my palm.
      My left hand stretches like stiff taffy and I know that this is a dream.

      I look down at the Golden Retriever and realize that he really is the same dog that I had when I was a boy! He's been gone almost fifteen years but now he's somehow standing right in front of me. I scratch him behind the ears. He just looks off into the distance with that big, goofy doggy grin. Even though I know that this is all a dream, it feels like a reunion.

      E pets the Golden and starts fiddling with his ears. The dog pants and stares contentedly up at the sky. I decide that now is the right time for me to break off on my own.

      I walk further along the road. I know that I had lots of plans for this lucid dream but I can't remember any of them. As I'm pondering this, a steady flow of traffic starts on the road and in a few seconds, cars are whizzing by in both directions. I remember a conversation with Xanous and Alyzarin about how they like to play in traffic during lucid dreams.

      I start walking across the road. I'm halfway across when I suddenly realize that the cars are driving on the left side of the road (like in Great Britain or New Zealand.) The next thing I know, a small, strange, open-topped car is barreling toward me. Suddenly I'm scared that this car is going to flatten me and I try to force-push it to the side. The little car swerves to the left and its brakes squeal. I float up into the air, drifting slightly away.

      The car has stopped and its driver, a woman of about 30, is leaned forward toward the steering wheel. Her eyes are squeezed shut as if she's in pain. I run or fly to the side of her little open-topped car, freaked that I've hurt her somehow when I did that force-push. "Are you okay? Are you okay?"

      She doesn't respond, but she's clutching at her stomach. There's something horribly wrong with her. Her stomach is badly distended, stretching all the way down so that it rests on the floorboard of her car. I pick up her enormous, stretched stomach off of the floor and start feeding it back into her body. It takes some effort, but in the end it spools smoothly back into her torso as if nothing had ever happened.

      She looks at me and smiles. I notice for the first time that she's incredibly attractive and I kiss her.
      (Guess I got over the stomach thing!) I pull away before I get myself totally distracted and she drives off, waving as she goes.

      Again I try to remember my goals and again they won't come. I finish crossing the road and leap about twelve feet into the air, perching on a crumbling arbor by the side of the road. I look out over the ruined city and see that the destruction stretches for miles. I can't even seem to find my house anymore. Is the destruction getting worse? What's happening to this place?

      I consider where to explore next but
      the dream soon ends.
    2. The Road

      by , 01-04-2013 at 10:38 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      The Road

      I was in the back seat of a car with another older gentleman. Our boss was dropping us off at our cars. The other guy in the back seat was told that he was being demoted or fired-I forgot which. I felt bad for him.

      The old guy got out, then my boss told me it was my stop too. I said, "Oh, yeah." I got out with a beer in my hand. I went with the old guy who was looking for his car. Then I needed to get where I was going.

      I went to cross a street to catch a bus, but I had apparently waited until after a light had changed below. Now traffic was coming on. I wanted to beat the traffic and run across, but it was several lanes, and some huge vehicles were coming. Yeah, a couple war ships!

      The road was brightly lit, and the two war ships went screaming by. Then a couple tractor trailers went by. Then I think a fire engine or something went by. It was all these huge vehicles.

      Eventually I was just across the street, and walking right at someones yard. I needed to finish my beer before the bus came, so I started guzzling the beer. It was pretty good for dream beer. I was going to have to dispose of the bottle when empty, but I didn't want to throw it in the persons yard. I didn't want to toss it in the sewer grate, so I started thinking of where to leave it gently at the edge of the street.

      I tried to poor the rest out, but a cop drove by or something, so I only poored out some. Soon, the alcohol in it caught the ground on fire. Shit! I drank the rest and put the bottle by a tree. I then moved the bottle to be in the shadow of the tree. I thought I should move the bottle to another place because the car head lights would shine on it as they drove past. I couldn't find a good place for it, and I was afraid my bus would be there soon.

      I woke up then. I hope to dream more tonight.
    3. The Lizard Man, Come on Brandon, and the Pilgrims (SDE Day 20)

      The Lizard Man and No Open Toe Feet (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Just to clarify, the Lizard Man is some entity that was apparent in some form from Sivason's and Mindraker's dreams if I remember correctly. And now I happened to see someone in a form of it.

      I'm inside a building, dark blue carpet flooring, and it has dark orange lights, which makes the place a bit dull. There are people in small groups everywhere, and as I'm walking, I see one group of people that look like they're afraid, very afraid of something. My first thought that it could be someone with a gun causing threats, but I don't feel anything, and I'm wondering why these people are so scared.

      I pass through them, and for some reason, I decided I should take off my shoes and socks. A random dream character comes up to say something along the lines of,

      "No Open Toe Feet!!!!" I look up and quickly nodded, but still feeling puzzled as to why this is a big deal. I lift my feet up a bit to put on black socks, and then I look up and see someone that looks like a Lizard.....and a man....Lizard man.......

      Are you kidding me....................LOL.

      I decided to stop everything and see what this Lizard Man is up to. Some dark-skinned man in a long white shirt and light blue denim shorts asked the Lizard Man,

      "You're not trying to escape are you?"

      The Lizard Man kind of looks like Spike from My Little Pony for some reason, at least his back does.

      He responds,

      "Nah, just going to go outside and spread my wings..."

      Damn it Lizard Man, there you go again making it --------------- never mind.

      The door to the highest level of the building outside opens, and the Lizard Man disappears. I think I wanted to follow the Lizard man, but I forget what happens next.

      Come on Brandon........ (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Things start out where I'm driving a vehicle, and for some reason, it's as if I was implanted with memories of experience with driving a vehicle, but it wasn't complete because I forgot a few things. Anyway, the sensation felt weird, I didn't feel tensed up when I'm driving at all....it's a big deal because I haven't driven a car except for practice at an empty and huge parking lot one time with my father in waking life.

      I'm near a gas station I believe, and the pavement is smooth and light gray, and the skies look like it's about to rain, or maybe it was just close to sunset. I'm waiting at the exit of the gas station, and look left and right of the two lanes perpendicular to where I'm at, and it seems it'll be a while until I can get on either of them.

      I noticed my mother is to my right, and I believe we had a small conversation about something, but I forgot. Whatever it was, I asked her if she wanted to get some Asian food....

      What? Since when do I ask someone about that....

      I wait for her response, and she agrees that she doesn't mind going to order Asian food. She wants take-out, even though I preferred just eating inside the restaurant we're going to. After we're done with that small conversation, I look left and right again and find that there aren't anymore vehicles coming our way.

      I quickly go over to the lane further away from me, and noticed that once I turned to my right, there are more lanes to take. There's lanes to go left, to go straight and left, or just to go straight. I looked up the signs near the stoplight. It was a white square with small black outline border and words and symbols in black font as well.

      It made it a little hard to distinguish which one I should take, and I rather have those symbols on the ground rather than looking up and down trying to pick which one, and possibly cause more traffic. I decided to go to the lane where you could go straight or left. A vehicle in front of me has their right indicator light signal on....

      And I'm not even bothered to realize that they're supposed to be using their left indicator light if they're turning left.

      Even though I'm completely oblivious by this, this makes me realize I should go ahead and have my indicator light on as well..

      Instead of the left knob near the driving the wheel, I look at the right, and try to find the indicator light signal for the right side too. I can't identify anything from the knob, so I decide to spin the damn thing and hope for the best. I hear something ticking inside of the car, and no it wasn't a bomb, but it sure sounded like I did something right.

      Whatever, seems there was nothing for me to worry about because I didn't hear any cars honking
      ...using dream cars as an excuse for my incompetence...go Link!

      The vehicle in front of me is getting ready to move, and I don't even bother to look up to see if the stoplight would change back to red at all. In those few seconds, I speculated if I should go straight or turn to the left, and decided to just go to the left.

      By this time, my mother is probably gone by now, and as I'm trying to go up another level of what seems to be an entrance to a parking garage, I realize that the curve to drive on was too small for the vehicle I was driving. It seemed I was driving a classic van model, There were even people walking, and some glanced over at me, and I'm wondering why there are people walking past me without any kind of awareness that another vehicle could run them over.

      When I try to get closer and closer, the vehicle suddenly vanishes. I'm there standing in the middle of the walking area. I see a Unicycle appear out of nowhere in front of me, except it's the tire of a vehicle rather than a bicycle wheel.

      Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, does my insurance cover this?

      The dream shifts to where a blonde female is following me, I can just feel it. I turn around, and notice this girl looks like Sarah, but like a relative. She's probably 16 years of age judging by her looks body structure. She was skinny like the blonde Sarah in waking life. She was wearing the same green varsity tennis outfit as well...

      Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

      She looks kind of cute, but it's not really my favor to worry about that right now. This blonde seems to be interested in me, and kept mentioning that I should come back.....

      I assumed she meant I should come back to the Varsity tennis team again because I saw one person that looked like my tennis coach at the time, and a few random people that looked like they would be on the Junior varsity tennis team.

      She had the intention of trying to persuade me to pay attention to her and hopefully agree with her. I was thinking that what she's doing is pretty silly, since I'm way past the stage of trying to bring back any memories of being on the team,
      especially since I was quiet towards everyone and just did what I needed to do in the varsity tennis team....win (but end up losing because there was always something that kept me from playing my best.....was really annoying, but I couldn't get out of the sport when I realized it didn't matter anymore....I think I'm just making excuses....

      I needed to find a way to distract the blonde from using her "Come on Brandon..." persuasion towards me, and figured that using the bathroom would be the best to get some alone time.

      I go inside, and the bathroom floor as small gray tiles, and the walls are plastered with shiny gray tiles as well. I go to my left to a small open gray stall to get ready to pee. Then I hear her voice get closer and closer.

      ARE YOU KIDDING ME....YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE...YOU'RE A FEMALE!

      Oh my god...she...she's STILL talking to me, she's RIGHT there behind me.

      Looooooooooooool, this reminds me of the lucid dream I had a long time ago where I was fingering a female while she was peeing....seems I'm getting a taste of my own medicine....LOL

      I try to forget about her by focusing on the sensation of releasing the urine....nope, not working at all! She even goes to the right, and looks down at my private region. She's not really making a reaction....

      No I'm trying to pet my ego, it's like she's already seen this before. I look down, and I do have a penis! I don't really see that a lot in my dreams, anyway, it has a downward curve to it, and I still feel awkward that this blonde is looking at me without a care in the world of embarrassing me...

      She hands me a paper I believe, but I'm not paying attention to any content of it. She talks about how she has a method that usually always works...but what exactly is she talking about. While she continues explaining, I blank out and I see small clip rolling in my mind.

      There are transitions of a male and female together, one was hugging her by the waist and groping her breasts. The female was wearing a light orange tank top, regular dark blue jeans, and had a nice hourglass figure.

      She had the skin tone of an Indian woman, and had long black and slightly curvy hair. The other females in other panels that were coming up, I have no clue on what they wore and did. I come back from blanking out.

      The blonde persists that I come back, that I should be with her...in a sense...

      I can't remember what I did next though, I only remember her being kind to me. Forgot about her looking at my dream penis and feeling embarrassed altogether.

      Mindraker, Chimptertainment, and the Pilgrims (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I don't know how, but I get the feeling that the two people in front of me are Mindraker and Chimpertainment who are participating in the Shared Dreaming Experiment. I can't remember their visage in the dream, I just feel that I'm near them, very close.

      There was something about the Pilgrims....maybe I was giving them a hint...

      College Appointment (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I'm inside of a room, and it seems to be a hotel, and not my apartment. It seems my mother and father are both in here as well...looool.

      Anyway, while I'm looking through some random papers, I think it somehow reminds me of the appointment that I can set up to switch my classes before the year starts. I think I'm going inside of a room to change or something, and my father passes by, and I tell him that I have to go somewhere to find what classes I need to change.

      I thought he would say something negative, but it seems he keeps clear and just nods. I think my mother gets worried about the funding that I'll be getting for college. I get annoyed by this quickly, and I find some small random video clip that should convince her to ease her paranoia.

      The same clip involved Elie from Rave Master, and then some random female voice declaring that college funding isn't really all that bad or something like that. I tell my mother to listen to that video clip when she can, and she leaves.

      I noticed the carpet is red, and there are two beds as well, and the walls are white as well.

      This is the part below I'm confused on whether or not it belongs in this dream plot.

      It automatically changes to night time, and I'm riding my bicycle along the bicycle lane slowly. I reach an intersection, and look left and right for any cars coming, but it's clearly obvious that this place is empty of traffic.

      Even the traffic lights have shut off, but I still make sure to check. There's a few randomly generated DCs walking on the sidewalks as well, and for some I had a weird hunch would look similar to people in waking life if I paid attention to their presence.

      I turn to the left, and keep riding until I get on the street that will lead me to the Sbisa building. The dream setting suddenly gets brighter. I go into a random building, and it's a long stairway going up. I go up a few levels, and then see a girl with black hair. She's wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, she's petite, and is Hispanic.

      She looks a lot like a girl named Olivia that rode the same buses I did in Middle School and even in High School. She's chasing boys, literally, but I don't know what factors she's using to do so in the first place. I feel bad for her in a way, and I quickly went up to her, put my hand slowly on her shoulder and declared that she shouldn't put herself in a position like this.

      I know I felt bad for her, but I don't think my words matched to the situation, but either way, I smiled at her, even though she didn't look at me, and I walked away.

      After that, I can't remember anything.

    5. Faceplanting, Bus

      by , 04-29-2012 at 11:30 AM (Zoe's weird things)
      [So at around 10:20AM i had an almost successful DEILD attempt, but it failed for some reason when i was almost already in the dream... I gave up somewhat after this, as i got really excited and thought that i won't be able to fall asleep anymore today... seems like i was wrong...]

      When i found myself in the dream, i was walking in my current school's darker half, where i rarely go. A lot of people were going out of classrooms and walking around in the corridor and i got lucid because there were too many people there who shouldn't.
      My first thought was "Oh yes! I thought that i won't get an LD today anymore, but it succeeded! ".
      The first thing i wanted to do was get out of this school, since i wanted to find Lucy [I will make an entry soon giving more insight on who and what Lucy is].
      Because Lucy is tricky, i wanted to get out of the school into a more open place, where she can't really hide or scare me. So i thought i'll just go through the wall.. why not? Well as soon as i faceplanted the wall, it answered my question.
      I tried it again, another faceplant... i just couldn't get through it.
      I rubbed my hands together multiple times as the dream was really instabil [It was 11AM in reality] and it fixed it a little.

      I decided to move on and search another exit. I went through a swing door, which led me into a place that looked a lot like a factory of some kind... a lot of machines all around and the big room had yellow windows everywhere, to decrease the sun's light. I decided to fly up into the air and tried to fly through the ceiling, but i faceplanted it again... in the air... ugh.
      Then i noticed 2 girls down on the ground talking something like "Look! Look what is she doing!"
      I didn't really care about them and didn't look at them at all first, but i knew they were my classmates from my old school. When i realized that i can no way go through the roof i decided to get down to the ground and think, but just as i turned around i woke up.

      [I waited a little in my bed, didn't open my eyes, but got the feeling that i can't go back anymore...]
      After this, for my surprise i found myself in the dream again... even while it wasn't intentional as i thought i can't come back... I was still lucid.
      I was standing in the middle of a high traffic road in the closest big city, where i usually go by with the bus. I was glad that at least i was outside now and it was sunny as well. I still didn't forget my goal, i wanted to talk to Lucy.
      I decided that talking on top of a bus would be a good place, as i could keep my eyes on her easily and she couldn't really hide anywhere.

      I looked around a little and noticed that multiple buses are coming my way, i grabbed one's mirror and tried to stop the bus from moving, but it was too strong and got away. Then i noticed how scary it seems when a huge bus comes towards me, so i decided to put one of my legs in front of a bus as that would surely make me lose my leg in real. It hit my leg and it just bounced a little and the bus just went on... I thought to myself that invulneralibity is fun ;D
      Then i decided to not let go the next bus, i grabbed it's back and i was right, it couldn't move on anymore. I picked it up with one hand and kept it in my hand while i turned around to find a place where i could trap the bus to stop it from trying to get away.

      As i turned around i found myself in my small town, near the supermarket, where currently a lot of people were doing picknicks. The river that was there in real was missing and they were sitting on the grass around there.
      I still had the huge bus in my hand and kept on going towards some bushes where i thought i could trap the bus in... but just as i went past one picknicking family, one of the kids has thrown a rock at me, which i felt was stuck in my shirt at my back... I thought to myself that a dream figure won't make a joke of me and turned around and wanted to bash him with my bus, but then i woke up again, the dream fell apart

      [I didn't realize in time that dream figure was an interruption... meh]
      [I couldn't go back anymore, but i was still happy that i got this LD, this is my third one this week ]

    6. showing i care, talking about books, looking through walls

      by , 04-30-2011 at 01:58 PM
      Good morning, everybody.

      Dream #1

      I was leaving "my mother's house." It may have been a grey day, and there may have been snow on the ground. I stood right outside the front door. My mom stood just inside.

      I told my mom I loved her. I gave her a hug. My mom seemed really short. When I hugged her, it felt like I was breaking her spine, or like I had hugged her in such a way as to feel a part of her spine that had already been broken.

      I walked to the car. As I did, I thought about a small cup of ice cream I had in the back seat of the car. It was like I still had the taste of the ice cream, or even some actual ice cream, in my mouth.

      In my mind's eye, I saw the ice cream sitting in the back seat. The ice cream was kind of melted and creamy, and it had some kind of big, marshmallow-shaped, but colorful and jelly-like, things in it. The spoon in the cup seemed to be coated with the melted ice cream.

      Apparently my grandmother was driving me to the airport. But the car we were taking was more like one my mom would drive. It was a small hatchback, kind of old looking. It was messy on the inside and the outside. The outside was kind of grimy and greasy. The inside was full of old garbage and fast food containers and stuff.

      I was kind of disgusted that I'd kept my ice cream in the messy back seat. I thought it might not be a good idea for me to eat the ice cream.

      I walked up to the driver's side of the car. My grandma was still standing outside the car, with the door wide open. As I walked up to my grandma I either thought to myself or asked out loud if I'd showed my mom well enough that I cared about her.

      I was in the car, on the passenger side, riding through a kind of busy part of a suburban town, with either my grandma or some man driving the car. It was now black night.

      The driver told me, "You showed your mom you cared about her. And the fact that you're worried about it shows that you care a lot more than a lot of people do nowadays."

      We got stuck in traffic on some kind of quaint-looking, Main Street type area that was all decked out in lights, as if for Christmas. We kind of inched through the traffic and then ended up turning right on a side street and up a hill into something like a residential area.

      As we were doing this, the driver, now most likely a man, continued, "That reminds me of a project I was reading about. People were making Christmas cards to send to the soldiers. But a lot of the people making the cards thought it would be good to send cards with anti-war messages on them.

      "And that's what I mean about care. The people over there don't need to hear somebody telling them 'NO WAR.' They need us to tell them, 'We're thinking about you, and we hope you're doing well.'"

      We had gotten up to the top of the hill and were now sitting on the right end of a long conference table. We were apparently inside a room. The room had fluorescent lighting. There was also a wall-sized bookshelf that I was looking straight at.

      But it was also somehow like we were in a cafe with a big window, or as if we were actually floating out over the top of the hill, looking down to the Main Street area. It was like, even as I was looking straight at the bookshelf, I also saw the town below.

      The man had gotten onto the topic of two books. Both books were about economics. One book was written by someone I didn't know. The other was written by Warren Buffett. The man seemed to be talking more about the book by the other guy. He then ended up talking about something extremely interesting and insightful (which, of course, I forgot).

      As the man spoke about the really interesting stuff, I realized how nice he looked. He was white, with well-groomed, white hair. He wore a nice suit with a tan jacket, a subdued blue shirt, and a somewhat colorful (peach? pink?) tie. His skin was deeply tanned. His face was kind of thin and angular. But his complexion mesmerized me. It was perfect!

      I then asked the man, "Who did you say made that comment? Did you say it was Warren Buffett or the other guy?"

      The man said, "No. That was from Warren Buffett's new book."

      I thought to myself that I needed to get Buffett's new book. I seemed to keep getting Buffett somehow confused with Alan Greenspan. But I could see the cover of Buffett's new book. It kind of looked like a modern cover of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man.

      The book wasn't an autobiography. It was actually a book on economic theory. I thought, "This is exactly what I've been looking for!" The man and I spoke back and forth for a bit on how odd it was that everybody didn't know about this book. It apparently wasn't selling much at all.

      I looked down and to my left. I could see the conference table. But, again, I could "see through" the table and the room, outside and down the hill, to the lit-up Main Street area.

      As I looked at the table, I was kind of hunched down and over some sheet (or pad?) of notebook paper. I scrawled on the piece of paper, in a very sloppy version of cursive, either the word "Feed" or the word "Feel."
    7. Traffic cameras?

      Heading home from work. Traffic camera flashes. I kept cursing in my head. Making my way to a car workshop nearby, I parked close to the open entrance. I see my old friend working there. I instantly walked to a toolbox finding a worklight on it(on the left of the entrance), like if I knew it was supposed to be there. Im starting to look for my EVAP leak (which my car has in real life) while my friend keeps telling me to calm down about the speed camera.

      At the car workshop there were many cars and workers, blue car lifted in the air to be welded from the bottom(on the right). Welding and putting the cars together. My friend was wearing yellow high-visibility t-shirt and blue pants. He sat on the driver's seat, left foot outside of the car

      The road where the camera flashed is a real road and the camera was at the right spot, the workshop is not real for my knowledge.

      I was doing 65kph on 50kph zone when camera flashed. The lights turned from green to red without showing the yellow at all. I drove the left lane, which was wrong lane if I was driving home.

      AC DC was playing in the car, "If you want blood".

    8. Best recall in detail in a while. Studio, driving, sister

      by , 02-22-2011 at 09:17 PM
      Drank some cranberry-raspberry juice before bed and had the best detail recall I've had in a long time. Ended up being 2.5 pages in Word!

      2/21-22. 1230. 530. In a grocery store with dad. Area looks to be by the BoA but also next to the registers. Then it’s a musician studio, mostly guitarists. Talking with some guys about a guitar. One guy looks like the big guy from Fanboys. I have to go to the bathroom, so go into another studio, which I guess was the bathroom. Feel uncomfortable because the rooms have glass between them. Some guy in a studio to my left. I’m able to get an angle where no one can see me. Still talking to the 2 other guys. Hand it to them while trying to go. “It’s a Rickenbacher knockoff. I can’t remember the name.” Though it was supposed to be a bass, it was a guitar with a short neck and dark blue. A pause and then I say, “Averia! That’s the name” (not the actual name). Then 2 other guys come into the same room I am to practice. One is a trombone player from my freshman year, Xxxx I think, has glasses. Name is different in the dream though. They’re across the room, so I go to the bathroom anyway as a chair is hiding me

      750. I wake up in my room. Theresa’s cats are there. I play with them. One jumps up on my left side dresser. I have an organizer with papers and the cat chews on it. I pick up my computer mouse, don’t know why I had it, and tap it on the dresser to get the cat off. Runs to the door. Then the cats are the 2 older Xxxxxxx twins, but one’s a girl. Play with them for a little bit. Then I’m walking down what feels like Main St. There’re a bunch of kids that had just graduated from Kindergarten, black robes with, I think, an orange stoal? Then at a car repair place. Pale yellow. It looks like the back of a Pep Boys with its garages, but that’s the building. Guy closes up shop because the kids are annoying him. Door is also pale yellow, but the bottom third is like a metal mesh and blue. I then drive home, heading south on Main. Xxxxxxx calls me to see if I’m going to make it to the run, academy? “What run is it?” “It’s a cancer run.” I’m eating some gummies or something. I take forever to answer his other questions though for some reason like I’m super tired and am thinking about each question before answering it. Pass a house where I see mom with glasses, and she’s jumping, like there’s a parade going on. Make it to Xxx and Xxxxxxx and there’s traffic. The houses and shops are no longer there, like it was before they were there, just an open lot. Heading W on Xxxxxxx and there’s a lot of traffic. Able to look up ahead and looks like some ambulances and flashing lights. Get closer and at that first street is a pile of junk cars being loaded onto a tow truck. Don’t catch what is going on off the left side, but maybe an accident

      1040. Watching TV. Someone gets hurt on a dam. Then the suicide video plays of goy at Hoover Dam. When guy hits bottom, his head smashes and red and yellow come out. People are then on the dam around him and looks like some people walked down the face that he just slid down. Then I’m home, but the house doesn’t look like ours. Dad’s showing me something to do with telling time at night. “Can you see it if there’s a new moon” (Showing me something and a black light flashlight simulates moon, shape is a snowflake). “No.” “Can you see it with a full moon?” He turns on the black light. “Yes! Man, that’s cool!” I’m looking around the room and the wall closest to use has a witch that moves, I’m thinking about touching it for some reason. The rest of the room is winter themed kind of. Snowflakes are all over and light up when I turn the black light on, which is now like Kyle’s, but only 3” long. Mom and dad then go to bed. I stay in the room and look around. There’s a door on the opposite wall, so go to it. I notice that the floor creaks, so assume there’s a walkout basement like Ernie’s house. Now light and with a friend. Room is his sister’s room. He’s looking around and I look at a wall next to the door. Sister was in track, uniforms are light blue and white. She has this whole section covered with pics with friends from track. There’s one I look at and they’re jumping over hurdles, she’s wearing earmuffs, but doing it gracefully in a funny way. 3 girls in the photo and one is a huge girl, maybe 400lbs. I think, “How can she jump?” Look at another picture and she’s holding the fat girl. I look back and forth at these photos and they stay the same, as well as others in my periphery. I go toward her computer desk which has its own little nook. Papers and stuff are everywhere and can’t walk, so don’t go in. Look at some papers. Get up and turn around and the friend found some boy’s number, he tears it up. Then walk out of the room, which the winter room from before is now different. There’s a kitchen counter and his mom and sister are at it. We get low and try to sneak up the stairs. Stairs creak a little also. Something about a white dog on the stairs with us, or at the top?
    9. Lost Another Friend to Drinking!

      by , 11-24-2010 at 06:48 PM
      I was driving in a large parking lot area with many people walking around. Almost like a parade. (This entire section is weirdly disjointed.) I remember there were police directing traffic and being worried I would get undue attention on account of driving a red car.

      Adjacent to the parking lot there was a diner/hotel/bar building with a glass store front similar to an ice cream shop.
      In front of it, people were standing around. Kenan Thompson, a cast member from SNL was there dressed in a gray trench coat that looked dated. Vaguely like a Sherlock Holmes costume. I clearly remember thinking: "He is the kind of person I could actually be friends with."

      I offered to give him a ride through the traffic/parade situation and he eagerly accepted. I went back to my car, looped around the entire active parking lot again, cops and all. When I got near to the building I didn't see him so I parked my car (which converted into the bike I rode when I was 14-years old) out front by leaning it against the storeroom window. I looked around for Kenan, and there was no sign of him.

      I entered various areas lightly populated by workers. Near the far back end of the building was something like an old cheap looking dive bar/pub. I walked into the area, looked around, didn't see him among the old worn out looking patrons, turned around just in time to see Kenan downing a shot. I remembered him drinking earlier in the dream at this point. He looked sweaty and guilty. I asked him if he had been struggling with a drinking problem? He nodded awkwardly.


      Note: I thought Kenan Thompson was hilarious in his first show All That and I do watch SNL (even though it's 95% horrible currently) - but I haven't given the man any serious or special thought whatsoever.

    10. Road to the End

      by , 08-22-2010 at 06:32 PM
      This is one of my
      Five-Star Dreams



      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:
      This is probably, by far, the longest dream I've ever had!

      I cannot remember exactly how this dream began, although I do know that I was in a mall setting. The floor was made of large smoky tiles, the walls white. The lights were dim, as if it had just shut down for the night, and outside it was dark; I could tell this because the triangular ceiling consisted of transparent glass panels. I was standing beside Will Graham, a character from the film Red Dragon (probably because I'd watched that movie the night before), and we were facing two other people, both of which were my classmates and good friends from school. We made a square, each of us at one point. There was another man sporting a suit and a long navy tie, positioned ten or twelve feet away from us, and was presumably the announcer of this each-man-for-themselves "duel". He began to speak.

      "Each of you have been given a special power to use in this fight." As he spoke, Will stepped away and backed up against the wall, holding his hands up. "I'm not going to do this," he said. "I'm nervous." The remaining three of us continued to listen. "Puffin gets invulnerability." And then he pointed to my two friends consecutively. "You have the ability to run fast, and you have the ability to control electricity. Good luck." With that, he backed away and sat cross-legged on the floor beside Will, who was still standing. For some reason, I knelt down onto the ground and waited for the other two to charge at me. After a few moments of silence, they finally did. The fight itself was really just basic hand-to-hand combat, and no one used their powers. But I did get punched in the nose and didn't get hurt.

      The next instant, I found myself in my bed with a white duvet pulled almost completely over me, my eyes already open. "Must have been a dream," I said to myself, and got up. The room wasn't my actual bedroom, but it was pretty large, around fourteen by fourteen feet, with soft tan carpet and light pink walls. I walked to the door, which had a white paint job, and opened it. The door led to a room with the same carpet, but it was much smaller and had a large flatscreen television on a black wooden desk. There was an ipod nano plugged in somewhere (I could see the cord and the device), and the computer screen was on but I can't recall what was on it. There was a cylindrical white garbage bin under the desk with a bunch of stuff in it; on top was the legible wrapper for a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar.


      "We have these?" I asked. Someone had obviously eaten it, so I immediately went to our horizontal white freezer, which was in the same room right next to the door. I opened it and didn't feel any cold temperatures, but instead saw a cardboard box with the same type of label among other freezer foods. There were a few bars left, so I pulled one out and opened it. The bar looked exactly like the above picture. I took a bite and didn't taste strawberry filling, but something else. It took a few moments to realize what flavor it was. "Blueberry?" I said, surprised. "Gross". I looked where I took the bite and there was blue filling, not pink or red. I turned around to face the computer again, and there was another white door right beside it. I opened it and saw that it led into the street. I was facing a four-lane street with broken yellow dividers; cars ran along them at highway speeds. I stepped out of the door and looked around; around me were large city buildings that looked like ones a banking or insurance company would own, all with large glass windows. There were small buildings too, and I noted a convenience store that had a logo like 7-Eleven but didn't pay any more attention to it. I was only a few feet from the door I just walked through, when someone stepped beside me. I turned my head and was looking at a teenage boy, around seventeen years of age, with short brown hair. He was wearing an olive green t-shirt and blue jeans. He looked at me with a serious expression and said, "you're the only one that can do this. No one else will listen to me."

      ...Or something like that.

      At that moment, I knew what I was looking for: a large car that looked like an Porsche 918 Spyder, except it was twice the size, covered with custom armor, and was carrying an atomic bomb. It was being driven by a heavily armed, schizophrenic man.

      I looked at the cars rushing by on the highway, and began to run towards them. I took a huge leap, landing on top of a car that looked like an Audi R8 and crushing the front hood. I recoiled slightly from the landing and then heard a quiet exclamation from a man inside the car. But I didn't care, his car could be replaced. The world couldn't be. The car I landed on was still moving, just slower than the other vehicles now, and I jumped again, this time into the middle of traffic, contacting the pavement. I looked behind me and saw cars about to run me over, so I faced the direction of travel and began to run alongside traffic, in between lanes so I wouldn't get run over. After a while of running with the traffic at inhumane speeds, I heard the sound of a speeding engine. Still running, I looked behind me to see a large, generic black car rushing towards me, knocking out cars in its way as if they were made of plastic. It came up to me and I crouched down, pressing up with great force as it began to run me over. It flew into the air, a good hundred feet, and contacted the side of a tall business building. I looked at my hands and was covered in dirt, and I smelled blood. It wasn't coming from me though, I knew, so I continued to walk down the street. The vehicles on the road kept their distance from me now, slowing down practically to a crawl and moving in a uniform speed.

      I kept walking for the next few minutes, occasionally looking up at the sky that was filled with thick clouds. There was no sun appearing today.

      The road then ended. Cars that were travelling along this road with me disappeared, and at the end of the strip was a rectangular single-story building with a dark green stucco exterior. It had a single large, square-shaped wooden door. I heard muffled thrashing inside the building, as if someone was banging on the walls with a large object, trying to get out. I gathered myself and rammed into the door, breaking it down. But as I did, something huge broke through the walls and door, and zoomed right over top of my head. It was the massive car; I could see a large hockey puck-shaped piece of metal on the top of it. I looked back at the building, which was nearly totalled from the car. Then my gaze returned to the threat. I was determined to stop it.

      I couldn't see the man, neither inside or outside the car, so I'd be spared gunshots and injury; for the most part anyways. I quickly walked towards the car, and music began to play in the background of the dream. I'd never heard an actual song playing in a dream before, so this was different. It was the distorted tune of Dani California, a song I listened to the night before this dream happened. When I got in close proximity, I hurled myself at the car and punched it, creating a huge hole and causing it to fly away from me a few feet. I continued to do this, beating the metal up. Each blow I delt, the car became more and more unrecognizeable. But hello, what about the bomb?


      By now, the car was the consistency of a crumpled piece of paper. I backed up a few feet and then ran at it as fast as I could, landing one final hit. The car blasted away into the side of a semi truck and there was a massive explosion, mostly smoke but there was fire as well. It wasn't from the bomb, just the impact of the car against the truck. And I knew that the bomb was now deactivated (somehow). I'd find the man behind this someday.

    11. No luck with WILD

      by , 07-10-2010 at 05:52 PM
      I went to bed around 730 ( I was high really hungry with no food and it was hot) and was woken up with a call from my bff around 1030. We both decided we would wake up at 430 with an alarm and a call from him to each state the intent. I did not remember my dream from when he woke me up even though I recalled it and stated it back to him. So the dream when I woke up from this morning goes as follows:
      I was competing with my sisters for the approval of my parents although I do not remember ever seeing my parents. The setting was this land where it was almost a huge atrium. We were doing supernatural stuff trying to get these guys or warlocks caught and of course I was doing everything wrong in the eyes of my older sister:cheeky:. I remember one of the guys the one I was going after was the badass from Raising Arizona the movie. I also remember making the atrium with my mind and changing how it looked. I did this also when I was on the freeway and one of the freeways had traffic and the other was all clear. I had seen this house in the dream that was the same one from another dream. It was high up and the only time I have seen it would be looking directly up at it in the sky because it was so high up. It was a little shotty bungalow rambler and I remember both times trying to think what the views must have been like. The views were similiar in both dreams but the latest one was a tad different. I also remember feeling very free in the dream, and then at other points feeling like I was being chased.
      I also remember being in a modern and clean hospital/library sort of building and being in the restricted zones, I am not sure if I was lost, or trying to run from someone or trying to catch something.
    12. The Train and...

      by , 06-22-2010 at 08:14 PM
      Type: DILD.
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10


      Dream 1 - The Train

      I was on a train. You know, one of those passenger trains with the multiple cars. It was very cozy yet airy inside, and there were maroon leather seats on either side of the car I was in, almost like a luxury bus. There were also round tables covered with white tablecloths near the back of the car. It had very large windows so people could look outside; these windows made up nearly the entire sides of the car.

      I became lucid almost immediately. I exclaimed out loud and did a little dance because I hadn't been lucid in a few days, and immediately decided to do something (although I wasn't sure what yet). I wanted to exit the train but I knew it was moving, pretty fast too, but I didn't want to go all the way to the conductor and ask them to stop it manually. That would have been silly. So, I punched a large hole in one of the windows (no one was around to witness it) and looked outside for the first time. The train was not on a track, but in the middle of traffic, moving along smoothly with the other cars. There wasn't much traffic though, so I jumped out, landing on my feet in the middle of traffic.

      I looked down the lane and saw a forest-green colored car zooming towards me at around sixty miles an hour, so I leaped on top of it, causing a large dent and feeling the top of the car implode. The car stopped abruptly, as soon as I touched it, but I didn't get thrown off. I then jumped off the car and onto the sidewalk. I tried to do the second jump stylishly but I failed miserably. I had to balance myself a bit, and almost felt pain as my feet contacted the cement sidewalk. I walked it off.

      I spent the rest of the dream flying around because that's one of my favourite things to do.



      Dream 2 - "Why'd you do that?!"

      As soon as the train dream ended, I found myself in my bedroom, all tucked into bed. My room was situated downstairs; I was in a queen bed with mint green covers, a polished dark brown nightstand beside it, and an oak artist's desk in the other corner of my room.

      I was suspicious of this, though, because something felt wierd. I got up a bit, still covered in blankets, and looked at my alarm clock. The first time I looked, it said 1:00. Nothing strange at all. However, I looked back and forth a few more times, because sometimes in dreams my clock tricks me. Caught it.

      The next sequence of numbers was 2:00, 3:00, and then 4:04. I immediately got up and said, "a second lucid dream!?"

      By now I was pretty excited but I knew better than to go around destabilizing the dream. I went out through the door to my room and ran upstairs, towards the front door to get out of the house. Through the window next to the door, between the blinds, I saw that it was dark. But I knew, through expectation, that I could make it light outside. Before disregarding the window, I looked at the door and expected it to be light outside. I turned the doorknob and it was light. Perfect.

      I walked down the driveway and was about to fly away.


      Then my mother woke me up, and I was back in bed. I was sure I was awake, so I asked, "why did you do that? I was in the middle of a lucid dream." A few moments later, I woke up for real.
