Thread: Yet another dream journel

A warning. 08/07/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Clarity 1/5 Lucidity 0/5

I was visiting a friend of my grandmother, but before I went I had some sort of a warning about going there. I don't remember what it was, but it was something that while not earth-shattering, was definitely something not to be taken lightly.

Pokemon Game 08/07/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a dream that I was playing a pokemon game, but instead of a normal player the main character was an umbreon. The NPC were a mix of pokemon and people. Odd, but sounds like it would make for an enjoyable game.

Dog Princess 08/07/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

There was a dog girl (anthropomorphic) laying on her stomach on a mattress in the middle of a room, and I was sitting beside her. She had brown, matted fur, and big, floppy ears, but she was important, maybe the leader of something that was important in some areas, but I can't remember what she was the leader of. I was sitting there rubbing her fur with my hands.

Steal the Light 09/07/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The dream starts off with me sitting in my grandma's living room, and telling me to steal something. I can't really remember why, and I was never really sure if I was supposed to steal the cane or the light, but I agreed. There were some people that were going to come over later, and I would distract their dog with food and then steal it from them, after which I would take off with the stolen item.

Waiting was the worst part of this dream, because it was a long time before the people actually came, and my grandma's house was basically turned into a restaurant with people sitting at tables eating, and me waiting on the couch in the living room. At one point, I looked over at a chair and saw my brother playing with the light, a dark blue light that kinda looked like a mushroom that was glowing light blue even though it wasn't plugged into anything. Eventually the place was empty again, and I asked my grandma if I shouldn't just take the stuff then and run, but she said that in twenty minutes the lunch crowd would be coming in and it would be a stupid idea, so I waited.

Later on, I said that no one was around, and I should just take it and go, to which she loudly responded that we weren't going anywhere. The more I tried to explain to her what I was getting at, the more she yelled about not going anywhere and not having any money, as if she had completely forgotten (or was trying to screw me over). I turned and walked to the bathroom and stashed the canes I had stolen, two German walking canes, one dark wood and one white wood, but finally decided if she was going to be that way I'd just complete the job and keep the stuff for myself. I still wasn't sure if they were to be stolen to screw the people over or for the value of the goods, but it was the principle of it that mattered, and she wasn't going to stiff me like that, set me up and then try to throw me to the wolves.

Comments: At the very end of this dream, I realized that I was dreaming and woke up immediately. It wasn't the normal lucidity lost type of thing, because I realized that I was dreaming because I was staring at the back of my eyelids.

Join the Team 09/07/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a theater, and this blond haired girl did something to me, but I can't remember what. I don't remember what happened really well, but later on she did end up coming back and apologizing. Either way though, I'm pretty sure I came out on top when she tried to spring whatever it was on me. *Skip*

I'm standing in front of a brown haired girl, and she asks me if I want to team up with her for whatever it was that we were doing for school, and right after she asked another girl, who I could tell was used to getting whatever she wanted, offered to team up with me. I thought about it, and quickly went with the girl who asked me first. Whereas the blond girl who asked second was just trying to jump in, the brown haired girl was actually sincere, and to top it off probably intelligent as well. I got the feeling that she liked me, though.

Load the Body 07/08/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm in the room of what appears to be either an antique store or a large house, standing by a king sized bed with feather pillows and a feather quilt. I can see a large wooden wardrobe off in the distance. Crystal is standing by the bed as well, and we're both looking down at the body of an old English lady that she had killed, who had dyed red hair. She picks the corpse up off of the bed, and sets it down into the wheelchair, with me helping to guide the body in, but it slides/slumps down. She picks it up again and we reposition it, and as she's doing so, I look at her and think about how strong she must be to pick up that much dead weight so easily and be able to move it around without any problem. I also notice the shirt she's wearing, a sleeveless shirt that's black on the back and is covered in rectangular patches of red, white, black, and blue on the front. As we finish positioning the body to sit upright in the chair, so it won't be s obvious it's actually a corpse, I wake up.

Comments: In the dream I knew that she was going to use the woman to get at her husband, and that was the reason why she had killed her. In some dreams, the woman she had killed shows up as a young woman, and in those they are friends, but this I feel took place before that, perhaps in a 'previous life'?

Fall of the Marines 09/08/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Me and two other people are standing in front of this huge building, and I hear the guy beside me talking about how the building is ancient, and when it was first sold it went for $20. He goes on to say that the property taxes on it must be killer now though. Looking up at it, I can see Marines standing all over on it, on ledges and anywhere they can get. One moves a little, and ends up falling off the ledge. Another salutes and then falls off the side. All over they are slipping off the sides and falling, and though some of them survive, the ground is littered with their dead bodies. The ones who survive mostly are ones that hit lower ledges instead of the ground, and they don't fall again.

Lucid with Dragons 09/08/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm walking through a woodsy area in my grandmother's yard with my brother, talking with him about some place that we'd just looted, and then he runs off. I keep walking, and eventually I pass two dragons laying with each other, one of them I recognize as Siberia, the mother of another dragon I met in a dream a while back. They're talking about raiding some place as well, and the dragon that I don't recognize, perhaps Zeppelin (one of my brother's recurring DC), tells her if she wants to go on a raid of the next town, she'll have to change the color of her scales. She doesn't want to, but she agrees, and he goes on to teach her how.

I keep walking, and become lucid. I decide to try 'summoning' Crystal. I call out to her, turn around expecting her to be there, but nothing. I try for a good while longer, but eventually I wake up still having not accomplished my goal.

Comments: Two lucids in one night are good, even if I didn't accomplish my goal. There's always next time, right? Perhaps I'll have to try something else next time though, because as I was fading from the dream and waking up I asked why she didn't come, and she said that she couldn't hear me while I was in my dream bubble.

Hallway Lucid 09/08/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm walking into my father's apartment, but I can feel it's getting hard to move again, like I'm trying to walk around while I'm on a sedative, and I realize that I'm dreaming. I can hear my father coming uip the stairs towards the apartment, so I turn and jump back down the first flight of stairs, landing beside him and causing him to look at me like I'm an idiot. I just ignore him and jump down the next flight of stairs. As I'm flying towards the bottom, I hope that I actually am dreaming, because this flight of stairs is a lot larger than the last one. I wake up as I'm absorbing the force of the impact with the ground.

Comments: After I woke up from this one, I was kinda disappointed that I had a lucid and I didn't even remember to try to do anything in it. I also ended up spilling the glass of water beside my bed, but managed not to soak my computer.

Run-in with the Slavers 14/08/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

As far back as I can remember, I'm in a grocery store, trying to find Kiba, and my father hands my a can full of hornets. He then goes on to tell me that each of these hornets has something that I can't tell them to attack, and he tells me what it is for each of them. Needless to say, even inside of the dream I don't remember what it is for any of them, but it was ridiculous things like a jar of honey or a flower.

I sneak off through the aisles of the store, trying to find a good place to spy on [whoever it was I'm trying to spy on]. I hide behind a large grill display, and look away for a moment at a shelf full of cans of Chef Boy RD Ravioli, and I hear my mother say, "you can't save him; it's already too late." I turn Back around and look to see that the grill display is gone, and my mom is sitting at a patio table display, a green wire frame table set with a glass table top.

*I wake up at this point, but go back to sleep.*

I'm now in a house that has elements from both of the houses I've lived in before, but looked completely foreign. My father had told me that there was a secret area in this house that no one remembered, and now I'm trying to find it in order to find Kiba [and I suspect Widow as well]. I go around knocking on the walls and old entertainment centers and stuff, trying to find the entrance to the area, and at one point my grandma appears and takes me into the laundry room to give me some good advice about dealing with my mother, but I can't remember it anymore. Eventually, as I'm about to go into the living room, my brother walks up to me and tells me that dad told him where it is. He goes up to a corner, taps three times in a triangle shape on the wall, and a time section pulls back. He doesn't do anything else, so I reach in and turn the section, causing a door sized section of the wall to swing open. I go into the hidden section, which is like a multiple room sized attic or unfinished section of the house, and go to the right. After one more right turn, I see an area full of dog cages with puppies in them. I open all the cages and bring two of them back, one of them being a puppy with the markings of a Rottweiler, and when I get back to where my brother is, he tells me that I shouldn't have uncaged them, that they were supposed to be locked up. I start to turn around and go to try to lock them all back up, but someone that I knew but couldn't recognize quickly walked by and took them from me, saying he'd do it and I needed to get my friends.

I run forward through the only other door, and on the level below are two large cages, one with Kiba in it and another with Widow in it. The stairs down are blocked off with more cages with puppies in them, so I hop over the railing to the floor below. First I go up to Widow's cage, and call him, but he's just sitting there indian style, apparently meditating, and can't hear me. I try for a while to get his attention, and when I can't, I telepathically insert an illusion into his mind that his daughter was about to be raped. This obviously worked, as he was up and ripping the door off of the cage in half of a second. I apologized to him for doing that once he was himself again, and he asked if his daughter was okay. I told him that she was, opening a link to her to make sure I hadn't jinxed her by some odd chance, and she appeared beside me. I tell them both that they should go up and try to get all the puppies back in the cages (having a very bad feeling that those 'puppies' are actually the trappers)m abd I go to Kiba's cage. He's in a worse condition than Widow was in, and he's laying stretched out in the cage blathering, apparently thinking he was in a large comfy bed. I try to get his attention, then try to cast an illusion that his wife's talking to him, but all it ends up doing is calling her there as well. She is somehow able to get him to snap out of it somewhat, and he gets out of his cage as well.

Just then his mom comes walking in, and I can see his eyes cloud over again, even though I can easily tell that that's not his mom, just someone illusioned to look like her. e goes over and hugs her, and, annoyed, I go and pull them apart and slam her on the ground. I push energy into her, and her guise falls apart, leaving a black headed hyena person there instead. I can tell this still isn't the real thing, and it feels like whatever it is is just wearing the corpse of a hyena, but I can't shatter that guise as well, so I just hold it up to Kiba. "Does this look like your mom? Now get out of here, I'll take care of this thing."

I hold my hand over it, and one set of chains binds it to the floor as another cocoons it. I then form a cage around it, and no sooner do I than it turns into the Rottweiler puppy and slips out of the chains. Looking around I can see that a lot of puppies are around the room now. Suddenly Widow calls me and I look up to see him standing on the platform above. He says we've got to go, and when I ask about the puppies he says they broke out of the cages. Not too keen on the idea of being surrounded by a bunch of trappers, I jump to the platform above and he gives me a hand over the railing. We take off running, but I quickly realize that we're going in circles. Not too keen on the idea of potentially being trapped in an illusion, and now able to sense that this isn't actually Widow, I take my hand from his and stop running, but he keeps on running. I turn around and hit the wall with both hands, and a seemingly infinite corridor forms from the holes through about thirty or more walls behind it. At the end, I see a black man wearing a wife-beater shirt looks up at me, thanks me for 'loosing' him, and runs off. I call out to the fake Widow, "if you're really Widow, just gate back to the forest, Crystal has it protected so they can't follow us back." I turn around, and a doorway made of vines grows from the ground. I open the door and step through it.

Back in the forest (which is basically my home in the dream world), I see Widow, his daughter, Kiba, and his wife, as well as possibly some other people standing there waiting for me. I ask Widow if that was him back there running around the building and he replies that they all left when I told them to, because they knew I could handle myself back there. I nod, and wake up.

Comments: Just to clarify, Widow is a recurring DC that I have. I've met a lot of his family, and I'd say that his is the most developed family in my dream world. Kiba is another recurring DC. The trappers are a class of beings in the astral that will go around trapping and trying to enslave spirits, dreamers, and who knows what else. They are an extremely slippery bunch.

Revenge of the Slavers 15/08/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I remember being in omi's yard. First a Rottweiler appeared and tried to attack me. I grabbed it by its throat so it couldn't attack me, and more dogs sprouted everywhere.

Comments: I think that these dogs were the slavers from yesterday that I ran into. This reappearance of the Rottweiler as well as its role as Kiba's fake mom leads me to believe it may have been the trapper that caught Widow and Kiba yesterday. Who knows though. I'll be asking my dream guardians to drop these mutts, though.

Failure in the Skies 20/11/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm sitting beside a white van on the side of a highway, along with my father and some other man I don't recognize. As we're talking, I see a plane fly across the sky into a cloud bank. I look around, and to my right there is a plane with two sets of wings, one small one at its nose and a larger set at the back that are pointing towards the nose of the plane instead of away from it, flying straight up. I watch it until it disappears behind the clouds as well, and comment that I'm going to have to draw a picture of it later (note to DreamSketch that later). I wonder if it is one of those planes that fly in the upper atmosphere, hovering bove the earth instead of going into space like the shuttles do. I look back in front of me, and a space shuttle is taking off. I watch it, but something goes wrong and it plummets back to the ground, causing a large cloud of flames. As I'm watching, two more shuttles crash, but none as spectacular as the first. When the fourth shuttle comes down, they manage to land it without destroying the thing, and the crew all rush out except for one person (they say he's the commodore) who is tying a tourniquet across his wrist. Everyone is talking about getting away from it before the missiles go off. He finally gets up and runs out of the shuttle, and two of the boosters jettison from it, causing one to hit him but doing no serious damage to him.

Comments: When I woke up I thought the sky had been golden and orange, but now I'm remembering it as being blue.

Tribulations 21/11/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The memory of the dream starts in the middle of a fight between two identical twins and a bunch of odd amphibious looking creatures. One of the two sisters have just had one of the larger creatures latch onto her head, and it starts controlling her and making her attack her sister (think head crabs from Half-Life 2). Her sister starts attacking the thing with a machine gun that she was holding, and eventually it dies and her sister falls down, in a doorway at this point. She stays still like she is dead, and her sister immediately goes back to attacking the other ones. In a hallway with a swarm of creatures coming at her doesn't leave much time for anything else.

Not far away, I assume, standing in the middle of the stands of an empty coliseum, is Snoopy, wearing a black and red pirate's outfit and sporting a peg leg and holding a saber. He has an angry and slightly crazed look on his face for a moment before he turns away to face the middle of the coliseum. He walks up towards the edge of the stands and looks out over it, and a limp can be seen in the way he walks. Someone that I can't see walks up behind him, and I get the feeling that they were best friends (not Charlie Brown ) before some big argument they had that split them up a while back. The newcomer asks how things are going for Snoopy, and Snoopy replies that things had been hard. The newcomer states that Snoopy is walking like he does, and he lifts up the bottom of his jacket over his legs, as if to indicate both of his bad legs. Snoopy reiterates that things have been hard, and I wake up.

Comments: When the sister was killing the thing that had taken over her sister, I could feel buttons being pressed on a controller, like it was a video game. That seems to go along with some thoughts I had in the dream like "I've played this game before." When I saw Snoopy, I thought about how poorly drawn he was, even though he was practically standing in front of me, but from the crazed look in his eyes I also thought that this was indeed the 'old' Snoopy from the comics, and that something had happened to change him into what he was now.

Crystal Game 23/11/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a room that had rock like formations forming a path in it, and there were purple crystals that I was collecting. I would run into one and it would disappear, being collected. Suddenly, I turn around to see three 'crystal' monsters (they were humanoid crystals, like the polygons from Super Smash Bros) and one floating boulder made of crystal coming to attack me.

School, again. 23/11/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I dreamed I was back in school again. The assistant principle told me that I could take up to four foreign languages since I'd already completed all my cores, and I said I wanted to learn French and German.

The Shrine 24/11/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was leaving my apartment, and the guy is coming up the stairs and asks me if I'm ready. I tell him yes, and he goes into the place and I leave. *Skip* I'm going back into the crawlspace where the meditation area was that I took down, and he had found the candles and stuff I had hidden, so he built a shrine there, but in a different spot than I had ever put anything in. There was a wooden stand therewith at least four thin wooden shelves, and one each end of each shelf was a tall colorful wax candle. The only pair I remember was one shelf had a red candle on the right end and a green one on the left. There were ceramic statues of various deities (among other things), mostly Hindu, but the only one I can remember was a white one of Lord Ganesha standing in front.

Comments: I believe this is a combination of a few things. First, the obvious pre-sleep cue, last night I replaced the avatar on one of my forum accounts with one of Ganesha, and then the last one was that I've been feeling more of a spiritual connection as of late.

Crash 25/11/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I remember my brother some riding past me on a plastic tricycle and crash into a cart against the wall. He got up and there were gashes on his head, and he was pulling the skin on the top of his head off, saying it was cool.

Moving 25/11/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I remember something about an Indian woman moving into a house but being worried about someone, so I told her I would go with her to make sure she was safe.

Swimming 02/12/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Clarity 3.5/5 Lucidity 0/5

The sky is nice and blue, and the sun is nowhere to be seen in it. I dive off of a dock into the ocean and after I plunge under I swim back up towards the surface. I manage to break it so hard that I go flying up into the air, and I actuallygo through some unseen layer in the sky and end up in another ocean. I jump up and go through the layer in the sky twice more before I swim to a nearby dock and climb out of the water.

I'm in a different place now. There is a big ridge of some kind, like a combination of a mini mountain and a wall made of dirt running alongside the dock, which extends for a ways back into a walkway. I don't exaxtly remember what happened from here on out, but I remember walking along the dock looking into the waters, watching something (I think it may have been a person in the water). I go back to the dock, walking beside it as it swims, and a dark brown fish is harassing it (him/her?). Eventually we make it back to the end and it seems like something has happened to them, perhaps they were killed or eaten. I look into the water and see two white ducks (perhaps swans) and that fish (I don't remember if there was a body or not there as well). After a moment, though, I see them come up, and I pull them out of the water.

*Forgotten* Now I'm standing in a cave in the ridge that was beside the ocean, and someone is giving me two swords. They are long and thin, and I think one of them is a rapier. I go out to the dock again, this time on a different arm of it that I didn't see before that leads to a gazebo. As I get up onto the railing, I think that a bigger sword would have been better for swimming but thinner swords would be better for diving. I flip the swords around and hold them one in each hand by the tops of their blades and dive into the ocean. I manage to keep my head above the water most of the time as I swim back and climb out onto the shore (there wasn't a shore before, so I'm not sure if this was the same area).

SP and the Lucid 07/12/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm laying in my bed and trying to fall asleep after a WBTB. Gradually, it gets more and more difficult to breathe, and eventually I try to sit up, only to find that I can barely move. I eventually manage to sit up, and stand right out of my body.

*Skip* I'm in a house now that looks close to my own but isn't it. The outside is painted a reddish brown on the first floor and off-white on the second. I have to go outside to take out the trash, and while I'm out, I get into an argument with the neighbors in the apartment below mine. Suddenly, I realize I'm dreaming.

*Big Skip* I'm not sure if it's the same dream or not, but I'm getting into a car, and I realize that the wrong person is driving it. I look around, and see that I'm at my aunt's neighbor's house, not her own. I go over and get in the correct car, which I believe my cousin was driving. We start to take off *Skip* and eventually come to the street corner just past Save-A-Lot. There's a low hanging storm cloud that's almost black it's so dark, and as we turn and go under one of its arms it appears to only be a yard above the roof of our vehicle (a maroon minivan, I believe). We cringe, hoping we won't get struck.

Stranded 07/12/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

We're all at Dairy Queen, and my dad is eating some french fries. He notices there's a dead wasp (we called them wasps, but even in the dream I thought they looked more like hornets) in the fries. He pushes past it, but finds another and another and another, until he calls the manager over, demanding another box of fries without wasps. The manager says because dad ate most of the fries he won't replace them. We call over the next higher manager, but he supports his subordinate on the matter. At this point I leave.

*Skip* I'm walking back from Chickfila, and it's pitch black out except for what the street lights illuminate. I'm on the phone with my mother, and even she agrees with the DQ employees. I say I'm not going to let it go, and hang up. I'm going to call the regional manager, and if he doesn't do anything, I'll call [whoever does the inspections and such for the restaurants, I called it the Food Safety Administration in the dream, but I don't think that exists IRL].

Suddenly it starts raining, and I don't know how to get back to where everyone else was. I pull my hood up over my head and continue walking. I walk for a while until it eventually stops raining, and I look around, making sure no one is following me. I pull out a small scalpel that I was carrying and clutch it in my hand, just in case. I figure that I'll just head back to my house instead of finding them.

*Skip* Eventually I come upon a hotel and decide to stop there to rest for a while. I have a conversation I don't remember with someone in the lobby, and eventually he tells me that there are seats and free food in the elevator. I go in and see M&Ms, peanuts, and something else in metal bowls on small wooden tables next to black leather chairs. I sit down on one and take a handful of whatever was in the bowl next to me. *Skip* A well dressed black man asks me when I'm getting off, because he is homeless and he isn't getting off the elevator. I look at the panel on the elevator which reads that it's on the 67th floor. I tell him that at the moment I've got no place to go any more than he does, and he nods and turns around.

FA 24/12/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm laying on my bed and trying to get up, but I seem to be stuck in SP. I wiggle around and try to move, attempting to break the SP, and as soon as I do, I wake up. Now I'm still in SP, and I'm trying to break it again, and again, as soon as I move, I wake up. This happens twice more before I'm able to get up out of bed. I go into the bathroom and wash my hands, looking into the mirror, but as soon as I turn the light off, I wake up. I have two more SP FA's in a row, then I wake up for real.

Meeting a Girl 26/12/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm in a Subway in Augusta, GA, and I'm eating my food while talking to this black haired girl. She's really nice, and I think that I would like to meet again with her. I finish my food and give her one of my business cards, telling her to call me, then I leave. As I'm walking away, I wonder how I think I'm going to do anything with a girl that lives 9 hours away from me (I live in Central Florida).

Cameras 27/12/2009

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm at Walmart, and someone that I'm with points out to me that his camera is on the top of the building. I think that I can get it, but I don't remember if I do or not. After that, I look over and see my mother and brother standing and looking at their camera, also on the top of the building, but they're trying to spray it with a water hose to get it down. I wonder if that's safe for the camera, but figure they know what they're doing.

*Skip* I'm looking out of the window of a building, and there's a camera sitting on the edge of the roof of a house. I climb out of the [second story] window and jump over to the house next to me to grab the camera, but it slides off the roof onto the roof of a house close to it. I chase after it and jump onto the roof, but the dream ends.
