Unbound

Once again, a dream from the previous day and once again because I was to lazy to write it down yesterday.

In this dream I was on vacation. During the first scene I remember me and a friend, who is into climbing, was climbing a very steep hill. Halfway up the hill there was a road carved out in the hillside, and as soon as I got there my mother would pick me up. I saw the entire scene from a great hight, like I was a bird looking at myself climbing.

During the next scene me and some friends were dining in a restaurant. I was still on vacation so I presume it is the same scene. A friend of mine said that he had planned to go travelling with another of my friends. They do not know each other in waking life though.

Anyway, the guy he had planned to go travelling with had abandoned him in the last minute. When he told us about it he broke down and started crying, saying that his vacation was ruined. I tried to comfort him and said that I could go in the other guys place.

During the third and last scene me and some friends were playing magic the gathering. I asked them if they had a ring of Valkas that I could trade with them, it is a card I need to complete one of my decks in waking life. They said that no, they didn't. Funny thing is that one of these friends is a guy I have been trying to introduce to the card game, but he has not wanted to.

I just remember a fragment from tonight:

I was talking to Scarlett, one of the main characters from the series "Nuka break":



We were in the middle of the wasteland and she had a flamer. Suddenly she torched me with it. I was unharmed, it seems like I was immune to flames, and we both laughed while I stood there burning like a torch. It seems like she had done it just as a joke.

This is actually a dream from yesterday, I just forgot to write it down here.

In the dream I was a guy doing game reviews and I was just about to try out a game called "guns of icarus, which is a game I have played a lot IRL. It looks like this:




I saw myself in third person but I was not me: In the dream I was instead a middle aged, somewhat overweight bearded man. I actually looked a lot like Notch (the developer of minecraft).



Yeah, that´s the guy. I was playing on a computer that looked a lot like mine except the entire table it was on was cluttered with thrash! I could barely see the screen for all the old Cola bottles and other junk.

In the game I played as a pilot, and things was going somewhat well for me. I was amazed that other people did not use more stuff that comes in glass bottles...yeah, it doesn't make sense for me either. For some reason even though I used that...glass bottle thing in the game I still held the bottle in front of the computer.

This is all I can remember. As I said I have been playing this game a bit, and I have been thinking about trying to play as a pilot. And then I have this dream, its like my subconscious telling me to go for it.

I think the dream took place in a hotel or something similar.
I was there with two friends. For some reason both of them had dental problems. They asked me for help with their problem and although I didn't know anything about being an dentist I agreed to help.
I went to a nearby fridge and took out two bottles of booze that I handed to them. "Here's some anaesthetic" I told them with a smile. They began drinking it, but one of them hadn't realised it was booze and became really angry with me. He said he was going to work tomorrow and if he couldn't drive then he couldn't work. I told him not to worry, I was going to call his boss and take all the responsibility for getting his employee drunk.

Damn it.
The previous month and this month has been a disaster when it comes to everything dream related. I had a goal of remembering 30 dreams during june, I think I just remembered 7 and only wrote down 2. And this month has not been much better, I think I have had 5-8 dreams, most of which i didn't write down.

I have not not posted them here on dreamviews since I have not had time, and that is probably the reason for my unusually bad recall: I have been to busy to be able to focus on dreaming. I just got a new job and my mornings have been pretty stressed as a result, I have a hard time remembering dreams when I am stressed. I guess I should be getting up earlier, but that is easier said then done....

But there are some good news: I focused on remembering my dreams last night and the night before that and then i was able to remember at least one dream. So it appears that as long as i take myself time in the morning then I should be able to remember at least one dream every night.

Therefore my goal for what is left of the month is to try and get a better morning habit that allows me to focus on dreaming and to try and remember at least one dream every night.

I was dreaming that I was in a big formal dinner with loads of people, looked very much like a ball. I think me and a hanful of others were special guest and really important people, but I can't remember why.
Anyway I was having a drink and talking to some random people when I bumped into a hairdresser. We talked for a while and he said he thought i would look gorgeous in a raider hairstyle. I asked what that meant and he said it was a hairstyle with long hair on one side and shorter, wavy hair on the other.

I though about it and said I would rather not, I had been spending to much time growing my hair and would prefer to keep it as it is. After the dinner I tried google "raider hairstyle" but could not find it anywhere.

That is all I can remember from last night. I am actually growing my hair, and in the dream I had as long hair as I want to have IRL.

I was in a cave, a big circular cave with four support pillars. I was a guardsman (a soldier from the warhammer 40k universe) together with my squad. We were holding the only entrance to the cave against an incoming wave of tyranids (a kind of creature, again from the warhammer 40k universe). We were firing our laser rifles against them, but with no effect. So we started discussing what to do, and even though we did so for a long time the tyranids didn't reach us even though they were like 50 meters away.

We hatched a great idea. We started pouring the laser from our rifles into a bucket...yes, laser is apparently a liquid. (dream logic ftw!) Then we poured the liquid onto catapults and fired it against the tyranids, with great success! They still didn't move while we fired against them for some reason.

I dreamed that me and some friends had some kind of drunk party adventure. To put it simply there were a lot of challenges that each and every one of us would have to complete, with some help of the others.

The only one I remember was to be suspended above a river in the middle of a forest where you would be able to meet a river spirit! I remember it because while hanging there my "friends" got bored and left me there. I got to meet the spirit though, it was cool. It looked like a shape made of the water that was rising up from the river. It looked a lot like this, except it did not have a face:



I don't remember how I got away from there, but somehow I managed to free myself. I have some vague memory that the river spirit played a part in helping me get away from there.

When I returned home, which was some kind of building complex that we were all living in temporarily, I was really angry and bitter. I tried to show the others just how angry I was at them but they thought it had just been a good joke and did not take it seriously. I remember I was slamming my fist in the wall out of pure frustration, but they didn't even care about that.

The funny thing is that when I woke up I was still feeeling just as angry, even though I knew it was but a dream.

I dreamt that I was in Finland on vacation. I was in a fairly big city, not sure which though. It seemed to be a pretty old town.

I was going there with a friend named Patrick, which I don't know IRL.
We were walking around in the city when we passed a bar, it was part of the corridor we were walking though so we had to go through it. There I saw to my great surprise two girls that I know IRL! I sat down and talked to them for a while. Then I bough a beer for me and one of the girls which I think I had started flirting with.

When we had finished talking they decided to join us, since they were on vacation as well we might just as well walk around together.

After a while it seems like we split up, for I was sitting alone with one of the girls. We were talking about Patrick, and weren't exactly saying nice things about him. Then I realised he was sitting right next to us, and he was quite angry about us saying bad things about him behind his back. However he stayed with us, because I had apparently promised to find him a girl, and he told me he would stay until I have fulfilled my promise. :/ I remember feeling quite ashamed about the entire thing.

Dream intepretation:
Moral of the story: Don't say things about people they don't want to hear. It is funny, I have actually been thinking about going on vacation to Finland, perhaps this is my minds way of saying "go for it!"

I dreamt of a fat redneck, in a checked red shirt and a baseball cap. He had a pretty impressive beard though.

And that is all I can remember, the funny thing is that I remember waking up thinking "Wow, I remember this dream so clearly!" But then I fell asleep again without recording it, and so I can barely remember anything.

I dreamt that I was in some kind of huge computer game. In times it was like an adventure game, where I went from area to area, unlocking more areas as I went. It was pretty late game I guess, since I saw a map where I could see all the areas that I had unlocked, and there were lots of them.

In the dream it became Christmas, and I went to an area that I had visited before in order to cook myself a Christmas meal. I did so, and met up with some friends along the way. Afterwards I met an old IRL friend, and he asked what I did for Christmas. I said I had cooked an amazing Christmas meal, but lied in order to make it look better then it really was.

During another part of the dream it was like a game called Planetside 2. The only difference from the real game is that there was a new kind of super-exoskeleton, very strong but very effective. I managed to save enough resources for one, and then a woman gave me an introduction to it. "Hi, welcome to something-industries exoskelteon, allow me to show you its functions", that kind of introduction.

Even later, might even have been another dream, me and some friends where going to a friends house from the University that we were studying. We had the address and were going to meet up with our friend there. We arrived an knocked on the door. We head footsteps, and one of us said that the friend must have arrived ahead of us, but I said that they didn't sound like his footsteps, these were slower.

I was right, an old man opened the door, and gave us a "who the hell are you" kind of look. We asked if he knew our friend, and said that he did indeed, it was his son. So we explained that we were going to visit him and were let in. He said, sternly, that we had to leave before ten. The house was one big room on the top floor, with stair leading down to some kind of basement. When I took of my shoes I must have hit something, because my friends yelled at me to be careful. When I looked up a teddybear fell from its place on a shelf on the other side of the room, and it seemed like that was my fault. Good first impression I thought. We sat down on a large coach and waited in silence for our friend.

So, after reading the dream journal of Sangfoot, I got inspired to set myself some goals.

My goals for June will be to try and remember at least 30 dreams, meaning on average one every day. I will also try to successfully incubate a dream, specifically I wish to visit a certain cavern in my dream world.

That's it, I am not setting any goals for lucid dreams this month, since I wish to increase my dream recall before making any serious attempts at it.

I dreamt that me and some friends were going on a LARP. I was packing my things and would decide weather or not to bring a five men tent, that was large enough for everyone, or a two men tent which was much better in keeping rain out but was to small for everyone. I brought the two men tent, since I didn't feel like getting wet.

We arrived in the area and the group became disappointed that I had been selfish and only brought the two men tent. It then started raining and I went into the tent while the others were outside getting wet. Mind that I didn't feel any guilt at all, I was quite happy with my decision since I didn't get wet!

Later in the LARP I was put in charge of a group of children. We were ninjas who were going to infiltrate a factory. Since they were a group of incompetent kids they would just move forward while I was running around making sure they could do so safely and got them everything they needed. We entered the huge factory on the bottom floor through the sewage pipes. It consisted almost entirely of metal and concrete walkways with a lot of terminals and the like in a huge open space. I got to work silencing (knocking out, not killing ) people who might spot us and pushing some buttons at the terminals they were working on.
After much silencing everything was going smoothly. That is, until I ran into a girl I know IRL, and who I am interested in. She looked around and asked "Vilhelm? What are you doing here?"

I was stunned. I knew it was bad, partly because she saw me, partly because she recognised me but mostly because I knew what I had to do. I just hoped she would forgive me and began to rip her hair of. Apparently her hair was a crucial ingredient for something we needed for our ninja mission. She was just shocked and asked "Vilhelm...what are...you doing?"

I took her hair and ran for my life. The group had just left the open area through a door in the wall and was climbing a huge staircase. I ran up it, always looking down towards the lower levels. I knew she would follow me. She was not a drone like the others in the factory, she had a independent will, and she would not just let me go without an explanation. But she never came.

There was more to this dream, but that is all I can remember at the moment.

Tonight I dreamt that I was a Ninja, and part of a ninja family. I had two brothers, and I get the impression that were always doing things together. I was physically the strongest, but dumb as a rock, something our father was always complaining about. Something about a bad dice roll on while creating my character. (So I guess it was a role-playing game?)

Me and my brothers were at the gym, where we talked about these things. It looked exactly like my local gym. That was when me and one of my brothers hatched a "cunning" plan.
We two decided to try it right away. We snuck into a heavily guarded bank, where they were keeping some kind of super goo gold, while being disguised as tourists. That meant that we were wearing baseball caps and sunglasses. We found the gold, it was some kind of green goo that contained a huge orb of gold inside it. We quickly grabbed the gold and teleported back to the gym out using our ninja powers!

However when we got back we realised that their security cameras might not have been fooled by our simple disguise, and we were right. Just as we said so we saw our faces on a nearby TV screen. They were giving out a reward for anyone who could find us. We were ecstatic, we were on TV!

Our other brother wasn't very pleased though, something about us being idiots...

Ok, So this is going to be my first DJ entry here, I usually write down my dreams on my computer anyway, so I might as well write them here I guess!

Anyway, the dream:

I was travelling by car down a country road. It was spring and the small village I was travelling through was really beautiful. I was going somewhere, and I get the impression that I should have been in a hurry even though I wasn't. On the way I met my middle brother, who was walking with an unknown girl along the road.

He was very surprised to see me and asked what I was doing there, the club meeting was further back the way I came! I told him that I knew that, I had accidentally passed it and was know looking for a place to turn around. I also got the impression that he was embarrassed to be seen together with that girl, seems like they was trying to keep their relationship a secret and hadn't expected that I would pass by.

I continued and finally stopped at a bus stop and was going to turn it around by hand. But when I stopped I saw that another car was standing there, and with it some old friends from the University. I pretended that I couldn't see them, because I was sure that they couldn't possibly remember me, and proceeded to turn the car around. But before I could do that they actually did recognise me and started talking to me. I can't remember the conversation, but it was about how long it has been since we last talked and how odd it was that we would meet each other here.

Finally we said goodbye and I drove to that club meeting. I can't remember what club it was, but their house was an old wooden building that people used to store boats in. We were going to watch a movie, something related to boats and fishing and such.

And that is all that I can remember. I think this dream urges me to contact those friends again, we were very close and to lose them just because I am too lazy to call them is actually pretty sad.
