    1. Windows open in my mother's house

      by , 10-17-2010 at 01:50 PM
      (Something happened in the dream before this "beginning," but I can't remember it.)

      I was sitting in the living room of "my mom's house." My mom may just have moved into this house. There were packed boxes all over. I'm pretty sure that I had come from out of town to visit my mom.

      The house had a yellowy light in it, like afternoon or morning light. The house was pretty big. It had at least two stories, the ground floor connected to the second floor by a long, narrow stairwell.

      My mom may have sat on a couch while I sat on the floor, surrounded by boxes. My mom and I were talking about something, some kind of abstract discussion that eventually wound around to a book of mine.

      The book, I saw in my mind's eye, was a tall, wide, thin, hardcover picture book. The cover was all black except for the title and a photo of some brightly colored life-form, either an exotic plant or a deep-sea creature.

      My mom may have implied somehow that she would like to see the book. But I felt like the book was in one of the boxes, and that it would be pretty hard for me to find.

      My mom was gone. I "went out to the truck" (I'm pretty sure I didn't actually do this, but kind of "told myself" I had done it), where the book had been somewhere like the floor of the front seat. I was now in the living room with the book in my arms.

      I put the book into a slot in a series of vertical steel-rod separators in a drawer of a short filing cabinet, which may have been part of something like an entertainment center.

      I thought, My mom wanted the book. I didn't think I could give it to her. But now she'll have it. But I won't make a big deal about it, because I don't want her to feel like she needs to thank me for having gone out of my way to find it.

      I walked out of the living room. I went into a couple different rooms on the ground floor and on the second floor. All the rooms were full of stuff, but they didn't feel moved-into. It was like everything still needed to be unpacked.

      The rooms were all bathed in warm light and had a summery, breezy feel. But there was also a really eerie feeling. I noticed after a while that some of the windows seemed to have been opened, and that bedsheet-like curtains were billowing in the breeze.

      I was certain someone had illicitly entered the house. I got panicked. I ran down the stairs and found my mom. My mindset was now like I was living in the house with my mom, possibly like I had been living there with her for a while.

      I may have scolded my mom for something or other, like not being vigilant enough about keeping the house safe.

      I was pretty sure the person was still inside the house. So I decided to explore the rooms and try to find the person. But as I started searching, I got really afraid.

      (I can't say whether I got so afraid that I woke up or whether I woke up because my alarm went off. I had unintentionally set my alarm last night, and I woke as soon as it went off. But I am also very certain that I was so afraid, in my dream, as I went searching through the house, that I might have woken up out of fear pretty soon anyway.)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING PRECOG

      Quite a long night...

      23:35 GMT – Sleep

      Clothes shop
      I’m with my mom on some kind of clothes shop or whatever. There’s a long row of cabins for trying-out clothes. I’m on one undressing and she is pressing me to speed up. There are some guys around that are either watching us or pressuring us to go away (not clear).

      Rotten pumpkin
      I’m on some kind of yard and there’s a big tree in the middle. A group of guys, some I recognize, like Alfredo, who are sitting on some branches to my right side. Down on the ground I’m trying to get Alfredo’s attention but some other guy appears and starts telling me I shouldn’t waste my time on him. That he and this other guy who used to work with him are full of schemes. I tell him I know him well enough to know that much is just misunderstandings. Then this guy is on the left corner of the yard, where there were two big calabashes and picks one. As he squeezes it, telling me it’s rotten, the content spills all over the floor and is a smelly gushy thing. I actually come closer... but then I don’t remember what happened.

      Encounter with Mosh?
      Then I’m inside this big black truck. Some guy drove me over but right now we’re parked on the side of the road and he is outside doing something (maybe peeing?). We’re on a semi-desert place, no houses, just sand around. As another big truck passes by us on the road, there’s a panel on the truck where a pink or red light starts blinking, like signalling the proximity of something and I realise it’s this other big truck that just passed by. They signal the presence to each other. The guy on the other truck probably just saw the same signal on his truck and he breaks violently and makes a very fast U-turn.
      The guy who is with me also sees this and runs to “our” truck. As the other guy parks they both meet outside and make quite a party for finding each other. I am now coming out of the truck and I realise I have feelings for this guy who is with me. I approach him by his right side and kind of encircle him with my arms. Both guys are with shorts and a t-shirt and actually look very similar. Then the guy who arrived looks at me surprised, like asking who am I. And “my” guy says I’m his new girl friend. I don’t recall he mentioning his or my name but then he clearly introduces me to his friend and says: “This is Mosh” and I’m like "what? I know that name!"
      But Mosh is not really accepting me. He keeps looking sideways to me. Later we are on some building, looks like an office floor, people are running around working on something and I’m on some common living room on the end of some corridor, where there’s coffee machine and so on. I’m planning to make some coffee but then I see Mosh at the other end of the corridor, again not looking so friendly to me. Then he sends out this kind of energy blast that comes in my direction. It’s kind of transparent wave that is about to hit me, but I block it and it doesn’t hit me or harm me. I tell him to please stop it, because he has no reasons to distrust me. He then steps back a little, maybe because “my” guy then appears and Mosh behaves better in front of his friend, and maybe also because his friend seems to fully trust me and even have feelings for me. Then we start making coffee and I climb some chair to get some toffees that are on some high shelf.


      3:50 GMT

      Fragment
      I am at a conference room with glass walls all around. I spot trees outside and think it looks like some room I've been at the European Parliament.

      Jumping over ponds
      I am now at some kind of amphitheatre and recall that I’ve seen this before and think I know what’s going to happen next, although I don’t really recognise this from RL. I chose the place not on the auditorium but on some tables near the door, with chairs that actually sit me with my back to the stage and not really looking at it. I know someone will come and sit there to, someone that I must meet. The guy arrives and I tell him I was expecting him. We befriend and then we go outside. There’s some patio with square ponds between large square stones and we have fun jumping over these ponds. Some other friends are joining us and then... (gap).

      Friend on airplane
      It’s now dark outside ad I talk to some people (I think the group from before) when I see this airplane flying over our heads. It is low enough that I can its windows and I notice the windows are open, as if it was a car and people are leaning over to see outside. I see among the persons, my Italian friend António. I ask my friends to excuse me but I have to go talk to him. So I lift off and fly to meet him. The plane landed on some sky platform and I meet my friend there. He sees me and comes to me but has to stay behind some barrier, separating us. I ask him how he is and how’s is life going since last time we spoke. He is wearing eye-liner and is not very talkative. He just smiles, says everything’s fin and that he must now leave. I tell him my mom says hi to him and then he turns away.

      Underground kitchen
      When coming down again, I land inside some underground kitchen and I see two black girls very busy cooking. I try not to disturb them and look for an exit. But the youngest one spots me and gets really pissed off. She chases me around, looking angry and I tell her to please just point me the way out and I will leave. But she doesn’t. Then the older one comes in my rescue and tells the other she is being stupid. She had actually blocked the door, so I don’t see it, just to scare me out. Still, when I finally see the door, I don’t go out. The older girl allows me to stay and I sit in a corner, like under some table, with a box of crayons. I draw Harry Potter or some other character from the story and soon I realise there’s a lot of people gathered around mocking me for drawing this. I don’t understand what’s the fuss and I say “why not? I even like Harry Potter. Me and half of the world’s population. Don’t you? At all?”. And then everybody goes quiet and leaves me alone.

      5:30 GMT

      High-school gym
      I’m on some high-school and I see a gym just in front of me. For some reason I’m planning to go up a ramp on my right side but as I start going up I change my mind and instead enter the gym.
      There’s some basketball game going on and I just walk around the field, watching it. I see some familiar faces from my high-school and I poke a fat guy who was my colleague since primary school. But somehow I scared him and he bumped with his head against some obstacle. He starts crying out loud why am I so evil, why did I hit me and so on. I feel that he is crazy, but people seem to believe him. Then another girl also starts complaining saying i also hurt her some other day and everybody is now looking angry at me that I’m such a bitch. The interesting thing is that I start believing them and soon I am also crying and asking their forgiveness. I know I didn’t do it on purpose, that I’m not really evil, but they convinced me I actually hurt them (although I’m sure it was accidentally).


      Fragment
      I’m going back to a hostel I’m staying in and being followed by a guy. I think he is angry at me and wants to harm me, but no. When we arrive there he just asks me if I stay longer or leave. He wants to ask me something or needs something from me.

      Hairdresser, grilled-burgers and Jared Leto
      I’m sitting on some hairdresser or something and a guy is cutting my hair, not much, just making some hairstyle. I look into the mirror and I have long, long blond yellow hair. My face is my RL face and in fact doesn’t look so bad with this hair. I then see my boyfriend there and ask him if he is ok with this hair. He is happy, at least is long as I used to have it before. He doesn’t even care if it’s blond.
      Then I see some pics on the wall, like celebrity pics and recognize one as being a high-school colleague and the other is Jared Leto. Then my friend Rita comes along and says “No way, if there’s pics of these guys here, I’m surely on some of the pics too!” I ask her why and she tells me she used to hang around with them. And we indeed find 2 or 3 pics with her on. She tells me she can introduce me to them and I accept.
      Meanwhile this hairdresser is having fun – he has developed a prank spray. It works like this: he sprays people’s hair with it, it forms a kind of layer that gives hair a wet look, but later on when the person is on the street, the water layer collapses and showers down people’s face and shoulders. He just did it to a costumer and it’s quite fun when it bursts.
      So then I go with Rita to meet her celebrity friends and we end up on this grill-restaurant – looks quite low level – and these two guys are inside ordering from the menu. I hesitate going inside, because they have all sorts of dead animals in line to grill. A big octopus rolled up around two sticks is the next to be grilled.
      I stay outside where a guy is working for this restaurant grilling burgers to passing by people. I ask him if he has any veggie option and he looks at me as if I’m crazy. I wasn’t expecting a yes just wanted to bring his attention to the possibility.
      Then I give him some tips and he actually goes get the vegetables and makes really yummy veggie burgers that start attracting lots of people. In 5 minutes he is totally surrounded by people devouring his delicious creations and he feels like he just discovered his vocation. I’m happy for him.


      7:00 GMT

      Fragments
      I’m brooming my home but soon realise I’m not getting it clean so I grab the vaccum cleaner but it gets blocked by pieces of foam all the time.

      I remember washing my teeth with a key (the safe deposit key type, flat and square). Because it has a square surface with reliefs, I found it quite efficient to clean my teeth.


      My old primary school
      I am outside my old primary school, which left me a lot of nostalgia and is now transformed into private housing and hence I have no access to it for visiting. [in RL to] I see the old principal of the school. He now has his workshop and tools stored outside on the street, since he lost his school. I also see they covered the lovely terrace where we used to have our gym. Not even possible to look inside as there’s no windows. I feel sad.

      9:00 GMT – Wake up

    3. folding truck

      by , 09-13-2010 at 09:18 PM (The Midnight Train)
      I am driving a fold-able truck over a bridge, following some people in another car. The back of the truck keeps dissembling itself. So I got off the driver's seat and go to fix it. The truck rolls backwards and blocking the traffic so I put engage the handbrake.

      WTF Truck

      I'm in a truck like my dad's in the passenger seat It's driving by itself. I see it heading towards a rock face where a bunch of bombs are exploding? I kick my left leg and hit the break. I get into the driver's seat and suddenly my dad's there. He starts ranting about how I shouldn't be driving and I almost totaled the car. I said I saved the truck from totaling itself and that he should thank me, besides isn't he happy I am learning to drive for once. He said it doesn't't matter and that I'm a worthless piece of shit. He then indicates that he wants me on the street because he can't stand dealing with me at home.

      H wtf

      H and Asuka are merged. She's holding a tray with jello cups? they are red. And there is discussion about how this is going to make her famous.

      Restaurant


      I'm at a restaurant with Asuka. She orders me a large serving of Escargot? anyway it's extra cheesy so I start stuffing myself.

      Lucid

      While walking down a hallway I become lucid. I turn an head downstairs and See an area reminiscent of one of the places i lived in in Didsbury. I see Jen (my brothers gf" Sitting on the floor. I ask her if she has seen Asuka? (sometimes characters know if asuka has been around). She laughed and asked who that was. She asked if she was my dream girlfriend or something. I said yes, and that this is a dream. I also hear some music playing. I try to bring the focus on the music more but it fades.

      I search two downstairs rooms. In the first one. Some men have a ladder and are fixing something electrical on the ceiling, but it's not the light. I ask what they are doing? They say something technical but it makes no sense. I leave and check the other room but it's empty. I briefly look in the other room as I pass. Now there are no men or ladder. Jen is no longer in the living room area as well. I call out to Asuka As I walk up the steps. I say aloud that I am lucid and if there's anything she wants to tell me, now is the time to say it. I walk upstairs thinking the dream feels almost as real as waking life. As if on cue, I wake up for real... DAMN


      Old Dreams?


      I'm walking down a street in chilliwack. I have memories of going into a building in an older dream and going into a flea market of some kind. anyway As I walk down the street I can hear myself playing a vivaldi violin concerto on guitar. I don't like the sound of it. But when it ends and older lady DC walks up to me and says "That was brilliant!"
    5. M&M's

      M&M's

      I'm in a pick-up truck bed with my mom and some various junk, like garbage cans and stuff from cleaning up someone's yard. At a stop light, a trash can lid blows off one of the trash cans, so I jump out of the truck bed to go get it. I hop back into the truck and realize it's my arch-enemy Jen Euler driving the truck. The light turns green and she drives away, but the truck bed has become detached in the middle of the intersection and is now veering to the left to a house.

      Apparently, I have survived what I think would have been a horrible crash. It's now dark out and I walk up to the front door of the house I'm at while I'm calling someone on my cell phone. I feel like I'm calling an old friend of mine, Emily K. to come get me. The next thing I know, there are a bunch of my friends in the middle of the street in this strange neighborhood eating M&M's. They're all complaining that the colors are all new, but all I see are black M&M's.

    6. Tornadoes and Trucks

      by , 08-03-2010 at 07:59 AM
      Well, this was a rather interesting dream. For the second night in a row, I was driving in a vehicle. The dream started off on some sort of downwards sloped, dry grassy hill. At this point, I either hopped into, or was placed into (I can't remember which) some sort of short, yellow, semi-fortified vehicle, which reminded me of a smaller, flatter tractor. Once inside, however, it just felt like a normal car. At this point, I started driving up a dirt road, which then led onto a highway, with cars going both directions (i.e., up the hill, and down the hill). It wasn't a winding hill, as such, it was a hill that went straight up, and then followed around a bend. The road for the main part of the hill was a bitchumen road, and the dirt road I was driving on continued upwards, splitting from the bitchumen road, but staying next to it (only difference being that it was rising). At this point, I chose the bitchumen path, which was a wise decision, as tornadoes started to come down the dirt road, from higher up the hill. The majority of them passed by me with little effect, though some of them started to pull on my car quite strongly. I think I recall one of them nearly pulling the car off the road, though I'm not entirely sure. My memory is blank until the next event:

      This is a bit vague, but I recall being back on the original grassy hill again. My cousin was there, and I think there was some sort of watchtower. He was also in a vehicle, though the seemed much smaller now - kind of like vehicles that you could wear around your waist, but still drive. I don't recall much more, except that there was a third person there, and my cousin was at one point significantly taller than I was (in his vehicle), and there were spiders dropping off him and onto the ground, and onto me - possibly biting me, but I'm not sure. It was at this point that the mild panic and fear caused me to wake up in quite a groggy state.

      This put the following idea into my mind - breathing based Reality Checks. Breathing is obviously one of those muscles that are both involuntary, or voluntarily controlled. This led me to think, if you're in a dream, chances are, you aren't thinking about your breathing, therefore it's involuntarily controlled, and most likely synced to your real breathing. I thought, perhaps as part of my regular Reality Checks, I could incorporate breathing into it, and think "Is the type of breathing I'm doing about right for the situation I'm in?", with the thought that if I have an adrenaline fuelled dream like this again (tornadoes would be quite scary in real life), that in my dream I may think - "Hey, there's Tornadoes, maybe I should be breathing a little bit quicker?", in the hope of realising I'm dreaming, and then turning lucid.

    7. Sunday Morning Fragments

      by , 08-01-2010 at 03:39 PM (Beyond the Horizon)
      Had many dreams, but only remember 3

      ---Dream 1---

      I was inside a game that I played a while ago. It is a maze game, but in the fourth dimension. It's found here: 4D Maze Game. This game is CRAZY difficult to comprehend. You can go up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards, IN AND OUT!!!

      It was a dream where me and my friends were running around the maze, but it was in freaking four dimensions! This means my subconscious can actually comprehend it. I can't in RL!

      I remember them coming towards me, but I went "in" and so they went past me in all directions

      Anyway, that would have been the best dream to have become lucid in; I think my brain would have exploded trying to render four dimensions for me

      ---Dream 2---

      I vaguely remember being near my xbox, but I had just bought Kinect, the motion capturing technology for Xbox 360. To this, my friend said "Wow you have Kinect!" and he went off and told kazd362

      ---Dream 3---

      I've had this dream before.

      I'm a secret agent or something that has to carry out a covert mission at night time. The mission has 3 parts, but I forget the first part.

      So, everything is really dark blue, because it's night time, and I'm in a quiet street/alleyway. At the end there is a small truck just off the street. I plant a bomb underneath it, then I proceed to break into the truck.

      I slide the window around the doorframe just right, and it unlocks the door. I scramble inside, trying not to make a sound, and reach for the glovebox on the opposite side. I open it, but the information isn't there. So I open the armrest compartment, and there it is, in a folded manilla envelope. There's a car coming up the street so I quickly get out, shut the door, and crouch down behind the truck, and move around it as the car goes past.

      This happens a few times, one with police, and another time with motorbikes. I then back away from the truck and onto the street, press a button, and it blows up. It looked so cool!

      I woke up, and went straight back into the dream

      The whole dream repeated, except this time there was someone with me; a friend who I haven't seen for 8 years, and thought I saw the other day in RL. We carried out all the same actions, talking as well, quietly.

      But the police saw us this time, so we had to detonate early. The truck was white after that, and we couldn't interact with it anymore, like in the game Call of Duty, the vehicles are just solid and stationary.

      What was supposed to happen is that after I blow the truck up, a helicopter will fly by,
      and I'm supposed to grapple-hook myself to it

      But we were in lots of trouble and things went bad. There were snipers everywhere, and more people were coming down the street

      I woke up.
