    ∞ The Rabbit Hole

    Hey there, and welcome to my dream journal. Haha I'm honored that you took the time to show interest and I hope you won't regret it. I've been keeping dream journals in notebooks for years but this is my first online public one. I'm hoping that this way I can open up my world of dreams for other people to enjoy and discuss so feel free to comment on anything. In any case I hope you enjoy taking a peek at the stuff my mind does when it's given freedom. Hopefully there's something good to be said about what's contained here, but if not I'll certainly take a look at any suggestions for improvement and do my best. Have fun and keep dreaming!

    Here are some of the people who I reference in some of my dreams as well as a little context for perhaps a little better understanding of some of the situations. These people can range from close family and friends, to acquaintances, to people I met once years ago. I'll probably alphabetically organize them later haha.


    Family
    Mom-Anyone might say this about their own mom but honestly she's the closest thing to an angel anyone could be. Her presence seems to lift everyone around her, she's inspiring, sweet, kind, and is always there for people. She works as a hospice nurse, meaning she cares for those who are terminally ill and are very near death. Her job is not to heal them, it is to guide them into death and help relieve some of both their, and their family's pain and suffering. An inspiring and uplifting person to be around.

    Dad- Engineer for 30 years. Where I got a lot of my genes. He's now retired which gave him more time to do what he loves, read. He soaks up information and is incredibly insightful in almost every subject you would care to ask him about. What can I say, he's been a fantastic and loving father.

    Older sister- When she was younger she was very shy and awkward but has since grown to be quite independent and strong. She never really excelled in any field well enough to consider a profession in it and as such has changed "what she's always wanted to be" many many times. Currently though she is working hard to become a dental assistant.

    Younger Sister- She's your typical teenage girl. Always on the phone and wanting to go to the mall with friends. She's at the age where she's beginning to loose her innocence and learn about some of the not so great stuff out there which hadn't occurred to her before, because she's such a terribly nice little girl.

    People
    AC- High school friend of mine. He's a charming womanizer with Greek blood(tall with dark hair). Intelligent and up to date on current events he's always in the know about what's happening in the town he's in. Dependable until girls are brought into the mix. Long running skirmishes with JS

    AsN- African American acquaintance who works in the astronomy lab at my university.

    Ch- Younger brother by 3 years of Co

    Co- Good friend of mine from way back. Him and his little brother CH are the younger brothers I never had. They own a nearby farm we'd play on when we were younger.

    DK- Hilarious Korean friend. He is the most ridiculous person you will ever meet. He's the guy who will walk into a group of cheerleaders and make them all laugh but not really care if they like him. Lot's of personality and charisma, also has a lot of wisdom for his age. Him and his younger brother are both very good at StarCraft II, and Poker.

    DkF- The older twin of DvF. The two get in brotherly fights the whole time. Both have been in varsity crew for most of their lives and are fairly athletic but still get good grades. They ended up going to the same university as me on a rowing scholarship. When we were younger I was on an airsoft team with both of the twins. They both play a lot of video games and are consequently good at just about any video game they play automatically. They are good with guns and cars as well. DkF looks a lot like Fin from the television series Glee. As a result a lot of girls at my school found him attractive. He is the more dominant twin.

    DM- Current room mate. Really nice guy, incredibly smart, athletic too. Him and his family are all fantastic people. For you ladies out there, he's single

    DvF- The younger identical twin of DkF. Less dominant than his older brother but in many cases it has served him well and kept him out of some of the heat his brother caused. He has a different style, and is a nice guy. Also pretty good at the bass guitar and member of a band that has gone on to win at several contests and events.

    DW- Friend since preschool. We've been friends for as long as we can remember and have an almost unbreakable bond of friendship. We go to separate universities now but no matter how long we spend apart, it's always just like when we were kids. Great guy, he hangs out with a different crowd but it doesn't really matter at all. As we got older he wasn't really the best at school but that was only because his intelligence lies elsewhere, in more transcendental things. The kind of guy you talk with about the subtle things that have been occupying your thoughts.

    FJ- Very funny black friend of DW. Always laughed with people about black jokes, always left everyone in stitches. Knows a lot of practical things, good with cars and stuff like that.

    GR- Older sister's boyfriend of a few years now. He's the typical working class man. Has a troubled past and is rough around the edges but he's like family now. My older sister and him are currently living with my family.

    Hs- Middle eastern acquaintance from first year university. He's built like a tank and tries hard to appear humble despite constant boasting.

    JO- Very attractive girl from university. Upon introducing her to my friend group every single guy was after her. She's part Turkish so is always tan and has great legs haha. Always funny to watch guys change their behavior and subtly hit on her whenever she's around. She's a pretty strong minded girl as well. One of those people that put up an almost aggressive outside but that are quite sensitive on the inside but don't know how to show their emotions. Also has a bit of an inferiority complex due to living in the shadow of her genius older sister.

    JS- Moderately cute brown haired girl from high school. She's intelligent and knows what she's talking about and independent. She and AC have had on and off relationships but I think she's perfect for him.

    TF- Fellow physics student and friend of mine from university. Not only a borderline genius at physics, but was also a state championship wrestler.

    VnH- Japanese/American friend since grade school. He's neurotic and immature sometimes but I can be like that too. He's very nerdy but in a smart way. For instance he plays Magic the Gathering and League of Legends, but he's analyzed the games to a high level and is supremely efficient.

    1. Just Some Dreams (Night -004)

      Frisbee in the Yard
      I was with my good friend DW talking and walking somewhere. We were headed to meet up with some of DW's other friends. We walk through a neighborhood and open a gate on a wooden fence to a yard. There were a few people just hanging out playing some frisbee. FJ was there and he was being funny, I remember everyone laughing at his jokes as they tossed the frisbee around.

      Some Hallway
      I was at some dorm or public building. There was lots of activity and commotion. Like it was open to the public for the day and there was a festival or some event being held. I was on the second or third floor in a hallway. It was an unusually narrow hallway, barely a shoulder's width apart. There were rooms with sliding doors to them all down the hallway and people were walking between rooms and everyone was hanging out in rooms and in the hallway with their doors open. For some reason I decide to do a handstand in the hallway and since it was so narrow I was able to use my feet to stabilize me. I'm not very good at handstands.

      Minecraft Cave
      Large cavern in Minecraft. I had been working on some large scale project in the cavern. It was absolutely massive with structures spanning across the bottom and top of the cave. All of the surfaces of the cave were made entirely out of glass. So any light would shimmer across the cavern's surface and reveal glimpses of the huge open expanse. The was a main building built above the others on a larger scale than the rest. It was also made entirely out of glass but extended into the recesses of the cave. It had passage ways and tunnels that reached far into and around the cave. I don't even own Minecraft haha

      Shoe Garden
      I was at my friend DW's house. We were in his backyard and his mom came out to talk to us. She wanted to show us her garden. She's very good at arts and crafts and other random decorative artsy stuff. She had taken all of the old shoes in her house and attached them to plants in her garden to make it look like all of the plants were growing shoes from them. It seems a bit weird but it actually didn't look to bad. I was hot so I decided to walk inside to get some lemonade.

      ...Bieber
      I was at some event in some theater or large college room. On the stage was Justin Bieber. He was trying to be a comedian or something. He was telling jokes, but since he was at a university he was trying to tell more intelligent jokes. You could tell that someone else had written them for him because he clearly didn't really understand some of the jokes. Some of them were pretty funny and I can remember laughing at him partially for the joke and partially out of pity for his circumstance. The entire time I was playing with some strange type of Rubick's cube made out of paper. I could fold the paper and make different shape Rubick's cubes.

      NBA Game
      I was a stadium with a bunch of professional basketball players. They were all practicing for some event coming up, maybe like a dunking competition or something. THere were lots of people all around the stadium getting things ready and preparing. People setting up cameras and tables and running cables around to various equipment. I was there because I had won some sort of contest. I got to practice for the event with the players. They were all really nice and it was pretty fun. We practiced for when during the event one of the players would throw the ball from half court and I would jump and dunk it.

    2. Battle of Brute Strength vs. Skill

      by , 08-15-2011 at 05:05 AM (∞ The Rabbit Hole)
      The Brute
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      I'm walking down the hallway of my old dorm towards my room after doing laundry or something. I round the corner and at the end of the other hall I see a HUGE dude. Like one of the guys you see in the muscle building competitions that don't really look human anymore. Just standing there he blocked the entire hallway.

      Except he was actually wearing clothes unlike this guy...
      I become lucid and I can feel the sheer strength of the colossal brute standing at the end of the hallway. In a fraction of a second I gather energy from around me and can feel the power surge forth. I feel light and as the swell of energy comes to it's peak I burst forward, flickering down the hallway at a tremendous speed. The brute barely has time to see me coming and he begins to step forward and throws a hard punch with his right fist. A few meters before I reach him I plant my right foot and kick off the ground. In slow motion I see me rise and grab his fist, I begin to twist my body in the air. I tilt sideways and as I spin I bring my legs in, turning my forward momentum into spin. I soar over his head spinning in a barrel roll. In the burst of torque generated from my spin I twist his arm completely two or three times. I land behind him and rip his arm upwards, in agony he goes down on one knee and without giving him time to react I kick down on his knee from the side. I hear a cracking sound as his leg snaps sideways and he begins to crumple. In a cold rage I feel my killing intent towards him. I put all my strength into a sweeping kick to his head. The force knocks his head into the brick wall and I see blood pour from his head as his body slumps to the floor. This all happened in the span of a few seconds. As a note I'd like to mention that it is uncharacteristic of me to be so violent, in reality I would generally never wish anyone harm. But for some reason in certain circumstances a very sinister side of me shows itself in my dreams and I do things I wouldn't normally do.

    3. Dark Hound (night - 003)

      by , 08-15-2011 at 04:14 AM (∞ The Rabbit Hole)
      Dark Hound
      Walking on a dirt road in a forest. Lots of evergreen trees. AJ was with me and we were talking. It was night time and we realized we didn't have anywhere to stay so we started getting a little worried and picked up the pace hoping we would find somewhere. Soon it began to rain and we sensed something with an insidious intent. Now a little scared we started running and came to a hill, at the top of the hill we could make out two red eyes watching us. They seemed to emanate the urge to kill and under the light of the moon we could make out that it was a dark black wolf, far larger than an ordinary wolf. It began chasing after us and I could feel it's viciousness luckily ahead we came to a sort of ledge looking out over a valley. In the valley was a huge complex of buildings and houses all done in the same style. It was an abandoned builder's project. It was supposed to be some modern self sustainable miniature town and a lot had been completed but it had been abandoned for some reason. We run in there and find several other hikers our age hiding in the large kitchen area of one of the buildings. They were holding out for the night but all reported strange occurrences leading them here. We had posted up at watch locations and barred the entrances when suddenly an all pervasive voice whispered to us in a dark voice. It gave us some foreboding message and we could sense that it was the source of the evil we had felt, and that it was in control of a large amount of demons that it had summoned and that it was going to send our way soon. Can't remember any more of the dream

      Short Lucid Dream
      Lucidity: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Vividness: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
      Was being chased by something and I was in some city. I was running alongside a large storm drain or sewer flow area. For whatever reason I sensed my control over the environment and became lucid. Perhaps the sense of urgency brought on by being chased by something enabled it. In any case I try to fly but my lucidity and control was very minimal. I didn't seem to fully realize that it was a dream and that it didn't matter that I was being chased, instead I put priority on escaping. I would run and jump and stay off the ground for a long amount of time but couldn't gain altitude, I had to jump off something high. So I jumped off the railing to my left down towards the water lines and tried my hardest to gain lift. The thing behind me followed me off the ledge and tried to grab me just as I was able to gain enough lift to fly higher. I escaped and the dream faded.
