Xanous' Dream Journal

#271 - DEILD - 2:41AM

I was really displeased with these two LD's but there it is. I suppose it was better than a total fail. I just really don't like long SP transitions. It's such a waste of LD.

I am driving some place and the road gets blocked by a crowd of people. I roll the window down and ask some guy whats going on. He doesn't seem to know much. I listen and can a man preaching on a loud speaker. I make some remark about them Christians and turn the car around. I find a side road that has very little traffic. I am pleased.

I DEILD and have a really long transition. My goal this time was to interact more with DC's and ask for a dream guide. I ask for it out loud and I immediately feel hands grabbing at me. This actually freaks me out so I tell it to stop and It does. I try getting out of bed but it feels wrong and I am stuck. I spend a lot of time waiting and focusing. As some point I hover above my bed and spin in place. Still, I feel too connected to my physical body and can't seem to get anywhere. Irritatingly I notice my feet are crossed and uncomfortable. I try to move my legs but can't. I decide to ignore it.

Finally, I stop focusing on the physical and start visualizing. I clear my mind and stay watchful. I start playing with some sort of hand held device with rubberized keys. I get lost in this and have to remind myself to stay lucid. This doesn't seem to get me anywhere so I start visualizing walking in my living room.

Soon I find myself doing just that. I see my son running around me wanting to play. I chase him a little bit as I make my way outside. Eventually, I pass him and spin around to see him chasing me now but I quickly run outside shutting the storm door behind me. He stops at the glass smiling at me first, then whining to come with me. I feel bad about leaving him but I really need to get outside and stabilize. This dream is really blurry and unstable so I try to focus on vividness.

I look up at the sky and see stars lined up in a grid. I find this mildly interesting and chose to ignore it. I notice that I feel cold out here and do my best to ignore it. Something on the ground catches my eye. It seems to be an article of clothing. I pick it up to examine it and get some tactile stimuli. It looks a lot like one of my wife's button up sweaters but the colors are wrong. Instead of blue and white stripes, half is white/brown and the other half is white/yellow stripes.

Now, I realize I am still very aware of my physical body. I have my legs crossed and it feels painful and sweaty. I try moving but the sleep paralysis has me. It's just too uncomfortable to ignore anymore so I have to wake myself to move.

I have another dream where my dog is pooping all over the place. I clean it up and watch TV. My dad passes through with a section of water hose formed into a noose. I ask him what he's doing but he doesn't really answer me so I follow him. He goes outside and and I am now walking out of some warehouse. I hear a loud helicopter sound. I look up expecting to see it but it never comes. My sister's brother is standing outside talking to my dad. I notice it's raining and something triggers lucidity. My brother-in-law and I stare at each other for a moment. He seems angry with me. Though it's just a dream, I really don't want to go out in the rain so I will it to stop. We all look up in the overcast, gray sky. I say, "Yeah. I made it stop raining. That was me." I step outside now, but I suddenly wake up.
