    1. 1/25/14 - grandparents long errand

      by , 01-25-2014 at 08:12 PM (Leaving the matrix)
      I'm with my grandma and grandpa and my sister. We are at this shopping center, It looks so strangely lighted, like orange light. We go into this walmart type store, and I walk back and forth at the end of all the registers, then my grandma comes so we exit, and we walk to a ATM store, like a whole outlet for people to use ATMs, it's across the street from another ATM store, and the ATM store we are going into is where the ATM store moved too, it used to be in the empty ATM store next door. I see my grandpa fiddling with his wallet, then we go in and it turns into a gift store and buffet place. I see my moms cousin in line getting food, I hug her and tell her I love her, then me and grandma go to the gift section. We hear my grandpa say come one, so we get on the green s10 pickup truck he is driving, it's smaller than usual, we are all hanging out and it goes super slow and makes no noise, he says the freeway will be to long, so he'll go this short cut, but it is for shuttle train ride tracks, and worker men are walking about it. He drive into it and we barely make the ceiling clearance, the roof of the car scrapes it, and we continue through, I worry a train will come or a worker will go after us, but we keep driving though, and we get into this building and he drives though it, it looks like a casino.

      _____________________________
      This is the longest WILD I've had - in fact, the longest lucid dream, as well, so excuse the length

      The dream began with me waking up from my bed. From the moment I got up, I alread knew that I was dreaming.

      The house was dark, not many lights on. I ran my hand across walls to stabilize, and went to the living room.

      The lights were dimmed, but not so dim that I couldn't see. Everything was in its rightful place - nothing out of the ordinary.

      A few knocks echo from within. I go to the door, and see that it is a friend of mine. I open the door and let him inside, but take note that his eyes seemed awfully black.

      He comes inside, and immediately takes a swing at me. I had to fight him. Though I was dreaming, I did not have any great fighting moves - I simply tripped him up and hammered him with punches.

      In an effort to get away, he suddenly transformed into an action figure. He shot his limbs at me, to try and deter me from his escape. Unphased, I picked it up, tore off the head, and threw it outside. The moment I did, the sun rose, and brightened up the day.

      I stood outside, and looked to my left. There were several groups of other teenagers that seemed to be congregating some general thought. I began thinking of things I could do in the dream.

      The tasks of the month were the first to penetrate my thoughts. I turned to ask my mother, who was at the screen door, what her new years resolution was. She held a nore of 'umm' for a bit, then dodged it by asking me what mine was. I shoo the question away, and go in search of a better answer.

      I was swallowed by the group, and began asking around, seeing if anybody had a resolution. None did - their answers just the same as my mothers, only a lot more 'I don't knows'.

      I was going to go somewhere else to ask a different character, when all of a sudden a good friend of mine stood out within the crowd, donning many winder clothes. I ran to her, and asked her what her resolution was. All she said was 'Disney' - I assumed she meant to watch more.

      As we sit on the grass, I decided to try out the other basic task - I said to her, "Hey, it's night time."

      She responded with, "It's not night time - IT'S PRIME TIME!"

      I look to my left, and see that all of the teens are sitting as well - why? Looking to my right, I see a large skyscraper, with a huge TV attatched to it. It was playing a movie.

      Unable to remember any other tasks of the month, I decided to try and look them up while in the dream. I got up and turned to go inide, only to notice that my house had been replaced by a massive complex.

      I ran up the stairs, desperate to find a door. I suddenly stop, and say to myself, "Hey, I'm dreaming! Why am I trying to find a door?" I fall face first through the roof I am on.

      Down through darkness I descend, until a computer monitor begins to hum. I look at the screen, and see that it is on Dream Views. It was stuck on one thread - I cannot remember the name.

      Disappointed, I left, and emerge in a small housing area. There were train tracks that led through the area, but no station. Near the tracks, two girls, donning black, waited. I knew one, but not the other. Next to the tracks was a building that had no doors - just a hole.

      I went in and observed the space. There were games and stores all around. I assumed it was a sort of mall, and went back outside.

      When I went back outside, the girls were gone. I paid no further heed to this, and proceeded to climb a building. I made it up effortlessly.

      On top, I saw a bird. It flew away, and gave me the thought: Why don't I play a little god work? I began to recreate the bird, but in my own image - it was cold and metallic. I look to my left, and see if fly towards me. I catch it, observe my handiwork, and let it take flight once again.

      Climbing down, I hear several conversations going on. One guy said, "How could she like him over such a fabulous guy like me?" After I heard this, I was handed a notebook by a character. I found it odd that he handed it to me so absentmindedly - as if it were just automatic.

      I take it, and look inside. Written it is was this: '7:00. Don't be late.' I thought of the girls waiting for the train, and ran back inside the mall.

      I asked tons of people if anybody knew where the 7:00 train was headed. Nobody knew. One vendor, in broken English, told me to go down a different corridor - someone down there knew. I thanked him and ran down there.

      I go down a green hallway, and reach a nursing office. I asked the woman inside if she knew where the 7:00 train was going. She said that it was going to a village on the border of Korea. I thought of a way to get there.

      I walked up to a pale wall and ran my finger down it. This caused it to crack. I stuck my fingers in the crack, and opened it. It made a portal to a mirrored copy of a nursing office in Korea. I thank the woman, and step inside. Shutting the rift, I run my thumb on it, sealing the crack.

      Walking outside, I was confronted by a group. Whether they were just thugs or Korean police, I didn't know - but I knew I couldn't stay there. Jumping in a flying car, I drove away. However, they followed in their own cars.

      I was gunned down, but a large aircraft took hold of me and carried me to safety. I blacked out,and when I awoke, I was back in my bed, still in a dream.

      I went into the bright living room, and saw that my mother had made peppermint fudge, as indicated by the small candy canes on top. I went to the door, and looked out the window. I saw the sithouette of the aircraft that had saved me, and
      woke up.
    3. Singing a Spanish Line; Fully Repairable Food Balls; Messed Up Tattoo

      by , 08-03-2012 at 10:46 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      Singing a Spanish Line

      I was singing a song in Spanish. A native speaker overheard me and corrected me. I was really embarrassed, but I was happy to know how to sing the line correctly. I can't remember how the song went.


      Fully Repairable Food Balls

      I went to the city square with my daughter's friend SH. I may have been with other people. When we got there, we all walked tiredly up some steps to a train track. The track circled at the steps to go back in the other direction.

      We all chose a spot to wait for the train. I asked someone in my party if they wanted to stand with me. They stood somewhere else. I saw that they would be lined up with a different train based on where they stood. I mentioned to someone that it showed the difference in kids today. It made sense in my dream. It showed how they associated with different songs, or a different, more modern songs and technologies or something.

      Dream Skip

      I was looking down on these buildings. The city seemed empty except for 3 warehouses. Two were Japanese and they were affiliated. One was named "dieche" or "dihatche" or something.

      Eventually we were all outside that warehouse looking in. There were these green, round balls about the size of the large, inflatable exercise balls, except these were food.

      This was some new kind of food, and it was said to be "fully repairable." I saw one mis-shapen ball become perfectly round, then roll into its place near, but apart from another ball.

      We started realizing something was wrong with these balls. It became clear they were our enemy. I looked around and saw some buildings we could run too. Some had fire ladders going up a ways towards the top of the building.

      Then the people working at the warehouse released the balls. I knew they were poisonous and would kill us. The government was wiping everyone out. One person ran to a ladder at one of the buildings. I was going to run to another, but I woke up to go to the bathroom.

      Messed Up Tattoo

      I had a tattoo on both my arms. I had been drunk and let someone ink me. I was so pissed. The art work was horrible. It was supposed to be fire, and should have stopped a bit up my arm. Instead you could kind of see fire, but it was mostly just scribble, and it went down onto my fingers. I realized that any job I ever had would have to accept tattoos on my hands.

    4. Scraping Rust? (fragment)

      Text color legend: • NON-DREAMNOTESDREAMLUCID

      I am working with another person on a train track that is on a tall mountain ridge. Between the mountains are bridges made from large I-beams. We are scraping rust from the rails, cleaning them up for their first use in a long time.

    5. Explaining a Lucid

      by , 02-09-2011 at 02:53 PM
      Dream Type- Normal

      Was at the main shopping street in my town, except it was a varied version (one which I usually visit in dreams) of the street. By this I mean that it contained shops that aren't there in real life, other shops that are but are in different places and the angle of the street (it slopes downwards slightly) is much steeper. I often visit this street in my dreams, I refer to it as AltaJames (in reality the street is called James Street). Found the urge to order a burger at my favorite burger joint, however for some reason the cook wanted me to drive home before I could eat it. Once I had received my burger I instantly found myself outside my house, in the front seat of a car that I had never seen before. This of course did not seem odd to me.

      Later in the dream I recall being at a stormy beach that had a long series of train lines running down it. At one point I had to carry something across the lines as a train approached and only just made it to the other side before the train rode past. It was here that I encountered a female friend of mine, someone who in reality had shown an interest in Lucid Dreaming. I proceeded to explain it to her, however I foolishly took no time to realize that I myself was dreaming and could had quickly done a reality check and became Lucid. Upon awakening this fact frustrated me greatly.
    6. Train races

      by , 08-24-2010 at 05:37 AM
      Taken straight from my workbook! I had a weird night, I had flashlight troubles and had to replace my flashlight with a new one from the closet...
      Without further ado, here was my dream that I recorded:

      My dad and I went to the eye doctor. I was very frustrated that we went, Because I hate eye doctors and that whole business and hate having glasses. My dad and I were picking out frames just like the day before. I stopped being able to control myself and stormed off. I saw myself third person walking on a balcony flight of stairs that you would see in a typical building in Kiev. We went home but not by my dad's jeep. By train. As we climbed on top of the train, I looked at a map of a Wisconsin park. It was a big park with a lake in it and a bridge across the lake in the form of an obtuse angle. The first part of it was straight bridge. The second part was a very intricate web of different polyhedrons and through the center were the tracks. The map showed different points around the park, mostly angle vertices of angles found in the park, such as the one on the bridge and the angle that the shore made with itself as it went around the lake. It also showed angle measurements and distances from random points around the park. Then, as I looked up from the map, I saw myself in third person again, sitting atop my train with many other people. I also noticed that there were now three tracks side by side and two more trains pulled up beside us. It was a train race. The train on the left went over the land and grass and the two trains on the right (including mine) went over the bridges and along roads. It was a longer course but it was paved. The offroad course was very short but dangerous. All our rails disappeared. The race started. Our trains went really fast and the two right ones went onto the bridges. The view switched to third person. I remember feeling that this was very fun and exciting. The offroad train tipped, fell on its side, and then vanished. The other train lost its acceleration somehow on the bridge and the caboose unhinged and stopped as the rest of the train sped on. The scenery changed to a western spot and suddenly that train appeared on my left. I saw people from that train jump off, and start pushing the train from behind and very fast. They kept up with our fast train. I had a button that made our caboose go really fast, like a turbo. I pressed it. After a while, we were still tied (with the people still running) so we called it a tie and stopped the race. All the people became mice. Our train stopped at my school. I saw myself in third person once again walking with a few friends from swimming. They don't go to my school. Then, the scenery changed to a hotel. One of thee girls had gossip about what another one of my swimmer friends did at work that was bad. I wanted really badly to know it but she wouldn't tell me. The two girls entered their room. Us three guys entered our room that was opposite theirrs. The hallway was covered in golden paint and other shades of gold and red. It was beautiful.

      Missed things:
      Going to eye doctor and doing things there (I had just done the same yesterday)
      The Kiev style stair thing.
      Go home by train
      3 track side by side, train race
      No train tracks
      Scenery shift to Wisconsin from Ukraine
      Weird map
      Awesome bridge
      Fallen train disappearing
      Scenery change to Wild West
      People pushing train very fast
      Button for caboose turbo
      Mice people
      School turn into hotel
      Swim people in my school (they go to a different school)
    7. Huge creatures and train stations.

      by , 08-20-2010 at 03:11 PM (Visions of the night)
      8/20/10

      Last night had this dream..real brief.

      I am going through train stations.. they were above ground and I was walking across the tracks to get to the nearest station.
      Other people are there too and they were doing the same thing. I look behind me and see this huge creature from a distance.. it was white and brown.. resembled a gigantic turkey but it was some sort of creature/dinosaur.. really couldn't make out what it was but it was destroying things and people. This creature is blowing fire and every time it got close I would climb down to an underground station and wait till this beast scream and destroy people and things.
      I kept moving forward through train stations. I find what looks like my father's ex wife but don't make any notion that I know her or recognize her. I am standing in front of a toll booth in one of the train stations purchasing pills.. they came in clear tubes. It said "Advil" and I had told the woman who looked like my dad's ex wife that I wanted to play a song so I begin to sing.. a bit of it .. :" I'll be dreaming of you tonight.." I was singing it to make sure she gave me the right song.. so she gives me it in form of a pill.. the "advil" pill falls and I can see this creature on it's way. I climb back into the underground track with this song pill in my ear playing loudly.. the song is by Selena Perez

    8. The Sea King

      by , 09-25-2008 at 08:33 AM (Visions in the Dark)
      This is the second dream I had on September 25th, 2008.


      I am floating above a large inland sea surrounded by high cliffs and thick forests. There is a long winding railroad track that runs along the circumferance of the sea by I do not know if it is used because some parts of it dip down and are sumberged. There are two islands near the center of the sea where tiny humans live. Or at least they seem tiny compared to me and everything appears in minature. I am invisible and no one can see me. There are two groups of people that identify themselves by colour; the red people on the eastern island and the blue people on the westen island. The people have different cultures and beliefs and though they have everything to survive independantly of each other, they constantly war with each other because of their differing spiritual beliefs or something.

      I suddenly find myself at the same scale as everything else and walking along the train tracks along the northern edge of the sea. After a while the track dips down into the water and heads towards the center of the sea. I keep walking and find that I can continue walking along the track without drowning or becoming bouyant. I follow the track down to the center where a submerged but seemingly abandoned city exists. Some of the buildings look modern, even futuristic, while others are made of a slightly glowing coral. There are many colourful lights around the city and they illuminate a giant bearded merman sleeping in the very center. He looks a lot like the classical sea god image but he makes me think of the father from Disney's The Little Mermaid, King Triton. There is a mighty golden trident at his side which is almost as large as he.

      The is suddenly a great deal of tension coming from up above and I can sense this telepathically. The energy of the tension is so strong that it wakes the giant Sea King, who sighs wearily. He sits up and grabs me with his massive right hand (though very gently, and I know somehow that he isn't going to hurt me) and grabs his trident with his left hand before surfacing quite rapidly. On the surface nighttime has come and the Sea King and I can see that the two islands of people have amassed great armies on their respective islands, seemingly to destroy the other once and for all. The giant merman quietly tells me that he is the god of these people and protects them, and that they fight each other because each believes that they are more favoured by the god over the other, which they believe makes them superior and that the 'lesser' island should submit. Thus the fighting never stops.

      The Sea King tells me he is tired of the fighting because he cares for the red and blue people equally and though he wishes neither any harm he is considering letting them destroy each other so that the constant warring will finally stop. He places me on a giant clam shell and sends me towards the islands, to warn the warring sides of the god's growing apathy. I am visible again and I talk first to the red people but most ignore me while others threaten me. I then go over the the western island where the blue people live. They are suspicious because they saw me come from their enemy's island, but are more willing to listen to my warning. In the end though, the blue people say they will still fight, partly because they know the red army is going to attack anyway.

      I return to the Sea King and tell him what happened at which point he becomes very angry. He swims between the two islands and raises himself up out of the water as far as he can and towers over the tiny islands, whose people cover is fear. The Sea King declares loudly that neither island is favoured over the other, that they are both equal and that the fighting has to stop. He also says that their unique and seperate cultures should be celebrated as complements to each other, not as opposites.

      The red army suddenly lunges forward and makes its way over to the blue island. They continue from their little boats and charge forward as if to attack. They reach the blue army and it looks as if the two sides are going to violently clash with each other, but instead the armies merge and walk through each other as if they were transparent. As this happens the blue and red peoples become different shades of purple. The armies and people mingle together and laugh and hug and dance. There is a drunken reverie to celebrate their coming together as the Sea King returns to his place at the bottom of the sea and goes back to sleep. I watch the partying from afar, feeling like an outsider and do not participate in the celebration because I seem to have become invisible again. My last feelings in this dream were of isolation and loneliness, then I woke up.
    9. Old Dream: Train Tracks, Novel

      by , 08-21-2008 at 03:25 AM
      August 17, 2008:
      I had a dream that I was wandering through a dense forest, trying to collect textbooks for my class, and I came across a set of train tracks that had been built out of tupperware bins. I was trying to cross the tracks, but knocked some of the bins over. I was worried that the workers I'd encountered working on the tracks would be upset. On the trail away from the tracks, I encountered some other people who had crossed the tracks and were also lugging text-books.

      I then dreamed I was running through various yards and rooms, something to do with my cousins on my dad's side and a birthday party. Something went wrong involving a pool and an airplane or blimp, but I don't remember what.

      August 20, 2008:
      I had a dream that a pale-haired little boy was dictating a novel to me. It seemed to practically write itself. I don't remember what it was about.

      I then dreamed that I was trying to get into a foreign city, but it was built high on top of some sort of artificial structure, and the only way up was an escalator that was heavily guarded. You could only enter by successfully winning a lottery. At the bottom was a station where people collected the mail from the city - either private mail, or a postman collected it for delivery to other cities - and only certain kinds of letters or packages could go through it, because it was sort of like a pipe/tube/conveyor system.

      I managed to get a lottery ticket by pretending that I worked in the city, and found out that it was for a show-girl. When I got to my destination, I realized I'd have to fake knowing what the job was in order to fit in and stay. I was told that if I didn't want to perform the number I was assigned, I could pass my ticket on to another girl in exchange for a voucher, but then I'd have to perform the next piece I was assigned or get kicked out. I only had 10 minutes to prepare. The other girls helpfully coached me (it was a Caribbean themed number) and I managed to get through it somehow.

      Then the dream shifted to the vast tangle of girders supporting the city, where two men were fighting on motorcycles, riding up and down and tumbling through the supports, while a third man was caught in the middle of it all.
    10. Native American ritual

      by , 08-09-2007 at 05:00 AM (Visions in the Dark)
      Dream fragmented, I can't remember much.


      - can't remember any of the the beginning, but it was lengthy.

      - driving in Mercedes on parkway outside of city with with mom and dad.

      - dad turns off road and onto elevated monorail/train track.

      - real train coming. We get out of car and mom and dad go down to ground.

      - I pick up the two tonne Mercedes by the bumper and hand it down to my dad! It's as light as a feather, though in the dream my thought was that it was "light as a wicker basket."

      - mom and dad disappear when I get down to ground. I am now in some sort of sidewalk market. The streets are empty until four Native American people appear, surrounding me.

      - greeting/bowing ritual with four natives. I think there were two Innuit and two Ojibway. Ritual consists of me standing between the two Innuit, linked arm in arm, and bowing down on my knees to the Ojibway. Repeat same bow a second time only linked arms with Ojibway and bowing on knees to Innuit.
