Thread: Theo dreams of Jeannie

Now for the dream(s) I had last night. No Lucid parts, but still an adventure none-the-less.

Night of 6/22/06</span>

<span style="color:black">Bear with me on this recording, because as far as I know, I had two dreams, unless of course they were somehow connected in some way I can\'t comprehend at the moment. In that case, it\'d only be one episode of confusion. Right, so off we go.

I\'m with people whom I do not recognize in the least, aside from one of them, who happens to be my sister\'s friend. We\'re in some sort of concrete building, it reminded me of a parking structure for a theme park, except... less slippery/shiny on the floors. Either way, the place was gargantuan in size, and I felt like an ant looking around. The way behind us was an equally-as-big pitch black opening, which I surely wasn\'t going through. The only way was to tread forward. The place was entirely empty, except for one part way ahead of us I could see a fence in what seemed to be a stemmed off part of the room. I\'ll try to draw a visual.

*EDIT* As I can\'t seem to get the spacing right when the message actually posts, I\'ll have to just use my descriptive skills combined with your imagination to give you some imagery. The room is a square. Now add a rectangle to the top, with the long part going straight up above the square, the short part going parrallell to the top square wall. Add another one of these to the bottom. Yay!

Now, I know my ascii skills are something to marvel at, but let\'s try to just focus on what\'s important here. The opening at the bottom(note: picture is not drawn to scale) would be the pitch black cooridor where no one wanted to go back through. We were immediately in front of that when the dream started. The other opening at the top was where the fence(dotted line) was, with another dark passage behind it. So, we were heading towards that fence, because really, there was nowhere else to go. Our footsteps were extremely muffled and quiet as opposed to echoing like I think they should\'ve been, but that\'s not relevent. Once we reached the fence, we noticed a little crack along the wall to the right of the fence. Someone with us decided to push on that wall, and voila, open it went, with sunlight coming in. Now, I\'m not sure why this happened, but once he got outside, he pushed the wall back in, and closed us in, with none of us being able to open it. My sister\'s friend, however, pulled out a WINDOW(yes, a frame with empty space in between it) and put it on the wall, making an opening we could climb through(BRILLIANT THEO WHY DIDN\'T YOUR LOGIC CATCH ONTO THIS AND JUMP ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME LUCID). So let\'s recap what just happened: we travel through huge concrete square place, big guy pushes through wall, gets outside, closes us in, friend pulls out a frame, puts it over the concrete, magically it makes an opening like a window that we can crawl through. Everyone started climbing through, with me and my sister\'s friend being the last two still inside. I was waiting for her to go, but then she turns towards me, shoves me into the fence, and chains my arms and legs up to the fence, then crawls through the window. Thanks



Here\'s the dream transition which makes me think it\'s two dreams. Suddenly, I\'m in my car driving down a one-lane, swirvy, up-in-the-air freeway. I feel like I\'m rushing to get somwhere, but damnit, I don\'t know where. So I use my cellphone to start dialing my brother to ask for directions(I feel like everyone\'s at some place I\'m supposed to be at), but as the phone\'s ringing, I notice this big tentacle sticking out of a roof I\'m driving by. Well, brilliant Theo obviously knows what this means. I hang up the phone, throw it into my passenger seat, and my car lifts off the ground back to the future style. Of course I wasn\'t worried at all, this made perfect sense at the time. I fly over towards the tentacle, and start shooting it with lasers that my car suddenly has, avoiding these yellow beams the tentacle was shooting back at me. My radio/cd player that hasn\'t worked in months suddenly picks up a message from somebody controlling the tentacle I guess. I don\'t remember exactly what he said, but it was something along the lines of "Give up now, your friends are never coming" but I know we conversed more than that, me having the attitude of Luke Skywalker thinking "NO, I\'LL NEVER GIVE IN(to the dark side)." I remember my family showed up instead of my friends, but I woke up before anything really conclusive happened

So anti-climactic I apologize for the waste of time.

Well, I didn't sleep that well last night, namely because throughout the whole night I was almost sweating because of how hot it is here. I did have a dream(I think even two), but it's/they're a little hazy, and there were definitely no Lucid parts. REGARDLESS, I shall record what I remember. Glad to see you're sticking to it Theo. Me too, Theo.

Night of 6/23/06</span>

<span style="color:black">When I finally managed to go to sleep(at ohhhh let\'s say around 4 AM, even then it wasn\'t cool) I opened my dream-world eyes to a city. I don\'t recall anything other than everything being sort of a goldish brown tint, and the fact that there were subway rails in the middle of the place(it was indoors)

*Hazy part due to horrible sleep*

Okay, so there are what look to be black telephone wires all over this place, but no poles. Anyhow, these little train-looking things travel on top of the wires, and handles hang down for people to grab onto and dangle from, and that\'s how we were travelling. When you got to your destination, you\'d either fall, or swing to another train that was about to start. I was trying to follow some guy who I thought was my mentor through a complex pattern of the trains, he called it the most difficult path. One of them went straight through a building, and I had to swing to avoid walls. It then shot straight up, and I was in the clouds amongst a complex-looking maze of these trains on wires. My master guy was just sitting on one of them watching me transfer from train to train(it was strange because I felt like I had the path memorized on which trains to switch to and which to avoid, though they weren\'t really taking me anywhere, almost was just going in a circle). Eventually, I missed one, and as I was falling my master jumped off to the side and disappeared.

Now I was waiting in this huge in-door line for some amusement park ride. The place looked like an indoor cave that they had built nice stairs in but kept dark. I remember it(the ride) was this little yellow machine you\'d get into, then you\'d drop into water, and you had to figure out how to open these doors(it was more of a game than a ride?). You could lay these little jolt-of-electricity traps, and I remember someone explaining to me that you had to shock an eel into the direction of the door and then he\'d open it for you(for the first door). Makes perfect sense to me as I nod my head without questioning it(CHANCE TO BECOME LUCID, WHOOOSH OVER MY HEAD). The place we were waiting in was quite big and had that watery reflective effect everwhere. The line also weaved into weird places, and there was a big double-sided screen in the middle where you could watch who was currently on the ride and what they were doing. I remember seeing two friends in the back of the line when I was getting close to the front. For some reason, I thought the owner of the ride had a conspiracy against me, and was trying to close down the ride before I could get on it, because I\'d find out something no one was supposed to know. Now, how did brilliant Theo know this? Well, that\'s his secret(I really have no idea, but I was CERTAIN of it in the dream). It made my goal to get to the front all the more demanding. I remember a kid told me not to go on, because I might never get off, and as I got almost to the front, I remember I was in a pitch black hallway with a glowing teal pool of water.

Then I woke up to my phone vibrating like crazy right next to my face Oh well, I suppose Theo will never know what would've happened had he ridden that underwater conspiracy game/ride. Maybe he would've died, suggests random little kid number one.

Night of 6/24/06

NO DREAMS TO REPORT, TIS A SAD DAY. HEAT + BAD SLEEP = SAD THEO. I woke up numerous times throughout the night, kicking off my blanket and whatnot, and then I was abruptly woken up again by my phone. Four times. Slept for six hours. No fun. All work and no lucid dreaming makes Theo a dull boy.

Night of 6/25/06</span>

<span style="color:black">Nothing Lucid, and nothing too big, because these nights just aren\'t comfortable sleeps. Woke up sweating, even though I was sleeping in nothing but boxers, on top of my blanket.

However, from what I can recall, this dream is influenced by that slither movie. I was in a hotel with a friend two friends, and we were packing to leave. My friends were casually talking, and I noticed out of the corner of my eye this green blob stuff sliding across the top of our wall. As I looked at it, it formed a face and looked back at me, and I freaked out. I said "HEY LOOK OVER THERE" to my friends, and they looked, nothing was there, then looked at me with sort of a "Oh boy, Theo finally snapped," look. I was panicking, and said "We have to get out of here right now!" while packing frantically. My friends just kind of shook their heads and kept talking. I ran past them with my bag into these other friends\' rooms. In both of them I saw the same thing, friends lying on the floor, with dark red circles around their eyes and dark red noses. They weren\'t dead, but they told me they were dying in a very creepy tone, almost laughing(CREEPY LAUGH). I ran downstairs, and noticed someone else in a lounge chair, same red circles around eyes and red nose. Except, this time, two little tentacle things with spikes on the end came out of her nose. "It does that when it feels threatened," she said with a creepy monotoned laugh. Sprinting back upstairs, I of course(OF COURSE) find my friends in the room both on the floor with the red eyes/noses. One of them said, in the creepy voice, "Don\'t worry, it didn\'t even hurt, it\'ll all be over soon." No, NO you bastard, it won\'t be, because I\'ve seen slither, and those damn things crawl into your mouth, and I\'ll be damned if I\'m letting some slug thing crawl into my mouth to take over my mind. I sprint back downstairs, and run past the girl with the tentacles, as they take a little swipe at me. Once I got outside I felt like I was running really slowly through the street, and I heard a voice say "..here...I\'ll help you" and tentacles came out of my nose, and were running for me(kind of like Dr. Octopus from spider man). I gasped, and woke up.

So I was already taken over?? MAYBE I BROUGHT it to the hotel with me, and let it spread. The plot thickens. Only it'll never be unveiled. And there's really no plots in my dreams, just randomness.

Night of 6/26/06</span>

<span style="color:black">Another short one, yet I\'m glad I\'m at least having a dream or two with this bad sleep. Damn you, summer.

I was in a familiar looking classroom sitting in the front row talking to this guy I didn\'t recognize. He said to me, "It\'s really late, Dracula should be out earlier, when more people are still out." I replied, "It doesn\'t matter what time of night it is." Apparently Theo was a vampire, because he was willing to demonstrate some sort of point he was making about Dracula to this person. So I went outside, which really didn\'t look like a school at all, it looked like a little old-fashioned town with a little stream in the middle, a bridge, and lamp posts. I flipped to the side right when I got out the door and started running sideways across the windows/wall of the class, and then jumped off and landed near a group of people. I used my index finger to make a lifting motion with my palm facing towards the sky, and the two people went limp and started floating. I then noticed these two other people sitting in clear view of the classroom window, and I dropped the people I was currently holding up, and made one of the other two go limp. I started controlling him in a really ridiculous way, making him run in place, do backflips, and generally just move really strangely. I then crept back inside the class and sat down(don\'t know why I was trying to go back in unnoticed) and I got a pat on the back from a few people still looking out the window and someone said "Way to go, now they\'re bragging that they\'ll perform every Halloween."(I think referring to the two kids, one who I was controlling?) To which I replied "What? I made him do a backflip."

Yeah, my dreams have well-thought out storylines, and my mind makes characters in my dreams say the most brilliant things at the most opportune moments, just to strike me with awe. Halloween you say? Performance? Dracula? Backflip? It all makes sense now.

My second Lucid! Not nearly as long as the first one, but I'm excited none-the-less.

Night of 6/29/06</span>

<span style="color:black">I woke up in an old two-story house my family used to live in, back when I shared a room with my oldest brother. I glanced over at the clock, noticed the numbers were frequently changing, and

Though this is nowhere near as long as my other Lucid, the FEELING was once again amazing. When I was first looking around after I got out of bed, I thought to myself, "Wow, Lucid Dreaming is really something else." It was as real as me sitting here typing(*glances at clock a few times to make sure it doesn't change*). Anyhow, I'm very excited about having two Lucids(one being my first) in just eight days. I hope I'll get to the point of doing it every night, then sleep would be even more exciting than I already consider it(for the dreams).

Forgot to post dream last night.



Night of 6/30/06</span>

<span style="color:black">No lucid experiences to report tonight, but two interesting dreams none-the-less.

Now I\'ve waited a bit to post these, as I couldn\'t do it immediately upon waking, so they\'re pretty unclear, but I\'ll try my best to remember.

The first dream I was on a train to a party in these mountains. There was one odd thing: I was sittig on top of the train, not inside of it. When the train passed by this one cliff, I swung this chain I had up onto a rock(or something) and hung there. Some sort of big-foot-esque monster came out, and I pulled out another chain, and started fighting with it while dangling there. I would swing from chain to chain back and forth until finally I grabbed his leg with the chain Indianna Jones style and pulled him off the cliff, and then swung really fast along the mountain wall until I caught up with the train and jumped on it to continue my ride to the party.(I don\'t know what I attaching to to swing, hmm) Once I got to the party, I walked around and realized I didn\'t recognize anyone, but two girls offered me a seat near them. I sat there for a moment, watching some weird wrestling thing on t.v., before running towards the t.v. and then suddenly down the wrestling show\'s entrance aisle. I then sat down right in front of the ring and watched the two wrestlers come out and start fighting.

Hazy Transition.

I\'m in this classroom with the lights off, the desks are in a circle shape, and two people are dancing in the middle. My teacher is standing behind me, as I\'m in the back row. After the two finish dancing, the teacher pulls out a mic and says "Nicely done you two, who else wants to compete to get a date with (don\'t remember names, but they were a guy and girl). Apparently, this was a contest to win a date with one of two people. A dancing contest. Everyone proceeded to do a dance routine to some song they had picked out, with a little light show to go along with it, until I was the only one that hadn\'t danced. The teacher asked me if I would, and I said "I\'d rather not." She then announced scores, and at the end she said she gave me a 10 for "doing something before"(which for some reason in the dream I thought was my fight with big foot). I had the highest score then, and I won. Myself and the girl then left the room, into an even bigger castle-looking room, walked down what seemed like 500 red-carpeted steps, and danced a bit on marble floors(with no one else in the room, and no music I can recall) before I woke up. I also don\'t remember what the girl looked like at all.

So non-detailed, I wish I would've written about it when I first woke up. Maybe would've made more sense then.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.

I had a crazy night last night, and, aside from me, no one even knows. You'll know soon though

Night of 7/03/06</span>

As an intro, I\'d like to first talk about why last night was so crazy. There are nights when I\'ll wake up frequently throughout the night due to being uncomfortable(too hot, too cold, noisey window, whatever). However, there are also nights(which I haven\'t had since I started LD\'ing) where I wake up frequently, but not due to anything other than waking from a dream, and I\'ll usually wake up extremely comfortable, roll back over, and fall straight into another dream. These are nights I have lots of amazing dreams.

Ok, so last night, this happened to me, except I became Lucid in almost all of them. It was strange though, because I kept waking up before anything could really happen once I became Lucid, so I had a bunch of dreams where I\'d just look at my hand as a reality check, and notice it morphing or a finger missing or what have you. After that I\'d become Lucid, look around, maybe start moving, and then open my eyes back to my bed, being still tired and comfortable, I\'d roll over or shift positions, then fall asleep, and do the same thing.

It was a very mind-blowing experience, as I was becoming very aware of the transition my mind was making into the dream world, and I would always do a reality check right away. One of the dreams I struggled with to become Lucid was one where we did drugs I had never even heard of IN the dream, so I couldn\'t tell if the fact that my hand was warping was due to the drugs, or if I was dreaming(at least my mind couldn\'t make the distinction). Then when the friend in my room turned into half a torso and started crawling backwards out of it into a suddenly really dark hallway, I knew I was dreaming, became Lucid, walked out of my room, and awoke from a dark figure far ahead of me pointing to my side, where I looked and my friend\'s upper torso jumped out, bloody face and all, screaming at me. Other than that, the dreams were mostly instantaneously Lucid(and much happier scenarios too).

So I kept becoming Lucid, and waking up, Lucid, and waking up. This was satisfying to know that I was becoming Lucid in every dream, but not satisfying because I never had time to do anything. I was determined to get at least one lengthy Lucid in.

So one dream, I\'m in this glass room with nothing but a table, a computer, and this other woman in it. I\'m working on the computer, and I just stop and actually say, "Okay, I don\'t know where I am, I don\'t know what I\'m doing, and I don\'t even know who you are," while pointing to the woman. The woman looked at me confused. "I\'m dreaming, sorry." I got up, with much more determination this time than my last Lucid(see 6/29/06) where I was just messing around. I stood facing one of the windows, and for some reason BillyBob_001\'s post he referred to me came into my mind about overcoming your limits in Lucid Dreams. As I looked out the window I thought "I\'m not even going to run over there, I\'m just going to transition into being there." I focused on the setting outside, the grass, a fence, a round table, and suddenly I realized I wasn\'t just focusing on them, I was outside looking at them. I looked back, and there was no more glass room, the other direction was just a big field. There were a few items out here that I wanted to try things on, just to prove to my mind that it\'s capable. There was a red truck with it\'s hood popped, engine and all showing. I turned on the engine(mentally) and walked towards it. I started lowering my head towards the engine and thought "I don\'t feel anything I don\'t want to." My head sank right through the whole thing, and I pulled it out through where the front bumper of the car was. Smiling, I then gripped the popped hood with my hand, feeling cool metal, then slammed it down. Three people were sitting on a wall outside here, and I became curious as to how you can change your senses. I walked over to one of them, and thought how her skin looked kind of rough, so it should feel like sand paper. I glanced at my hand first, noticing the crevaces, and how smooth my hand looked, so then when I felt her arm, it certainly did feel like rough sandpaper. For some reason this girl got angry, and I picked her up, tossed her, and made her disappear without giving it much thought, even as to how much she might\'ve weighed though I threw her with one hand. "I don\'t want anyone bringing down the mood of my dream," thinks me. Obviously being my own mind\'s creation, these other people know what I\'m thinking as I was looking up towards a strange looking moon that was lit up on blue fire, the sky being a particular purple. "Planning to try and fly again?" one of them says. "Yes, but I have a better plan this time, do you want to do it with me?" They both agree, and I set a goal to reach the moon, the highest conceivable place in my dream at the moment.

Now my plan for flying this time was to get high in the air before the attempt. High enough to where the ground wasn\'t even in sight yet, so my mind would force me to fly. How did I get this high? Simple, I created a sort of stair-case of floating ferris wheels that we rode until we could jump to the next one. At the time, I didn\'t even really think of it as being a big thing, just creating dozens of huge ferris wheels that were floating in the sky. Once I reached the top, I realized my companions were no longer with me. Oh well, I thought, time to fly. Now, I didn\'t jump right away, I instead thought of how this is my own dream, how nothing could possibly prevent me from flying, all I had to do was stay in the air. I transitioned into a fall without even jumping, and held my arms out bird style(to the sides) and started shooting forward instead of down. Talk about an incredible feeling. I know someone mentioned on a different thread how amazing flying is, feeling the wind on your face, feeling the sensation of being able to control everything, and I couldn\'t agree more. I soared around at first with nothing but a grin on my face(). I tried going fast, going slow, dipping up next to these mountains, and diving down near the ground. Then I paused in mid-air and glanced up at the blue-fire moon. "You\'re next buddy," I thought. As I started flying straight up, the guy and girl who were with me before suddenly flew up on each side of me, with the girl saying, "Here we go." As we reached higher and higher, suddenly blackness overtook us as we hit space, and the girl said "Space. Good thing we can still breathe." That made me laugh, and I responded "Good thing." My mind made it so I didn\'t feel wind anymore as we flew through space, it was just a sort of empty floating with the feeling of moving forward. We eventually flew up over the moon, and descended onto it, blue fire still burning and all, though I didn\'t feel it. I slowly started walking around, feeling the rocky ground with each step, with blue flames shooting up to my knees. I then looked back and my two companions, smiled like this and fell backwards, laying down in the fire. "Mission accomplished eh?" the guy said. I laughed, looked around at where we were, the stars around, the earth in sight, and said "Wow. Definitely." . I had a feeling I was going to wake up now(or I just decided to?), with my goal of the night being done, so I just layed back, closed my eyes, and opened them to reality.[/color]

Incredible, this night was, and I said before, no one else even knew what happened other than me. That\'s a crazy aspect of Lucid Dreaming to me. Last night I had an amazing adventure of sorts, nothing at all possible in real life, yet when I wake up so cheery, no one would understand, nor would they probably believe me if I told them(unless they were also a Lucid Dreamer). This whole thing is incredible to me, and I would almost like to call it life-changing, because not too long ago I used to be fascinated by my dreams, but never thought I would be able to control them, and have them feel as real as my day to day life. The possibilities are... unfathomable. One of the possibilities I conceived about these dreams, is that maybe it was just one long dream that I was Lucid in the whole time, and each waking up was a false awakening? I don\'t know, I\'m pretty certain I really woke up, but you can never know. Regardless, my mind wasn\'t really done for the night, as I had two more dreams, neither of which I became Lucid in.

In the first dream I was outside on a street with a friend, eating mentos(yes, I like mints a lot, and it wouldn\'t be strange for me to eat them like candy). We were talking about some dinner we were going to go to with some friends, when these two black SUVs pulled up, with their windows up. They sounded like cars full of girls, and they started yelling stuff like "Where were you last night," and "Why haven\'t you called," to us. My friend rolled down one of the windows somehow from the outside, saw one of the girls, and said "What? I don\'t even know you." The window shot back up, closed, and some voice from the front(sounding like an older woman), said "She didn\'t like the mumbling you were doing." I said "Okay, they don\'t want to talk to us, let\'s go inside," and I tipped my head towards a house I guess was ours. As we walked in, the place was a warehouse, with crates full of non-frozen otter pops. I thought "Oooookayyyyy, this is not a house I guess?" I didn\'t get it.

You don\'t get it Theo, you just woke up.

<span style="color:black">This was a strange dream too, it was a dream that I actually wasn\'t in. It was a screen of some weird game, and I was creating a character I guess on it. I could hear my friends talking about who I was picking, comparing all the different people, but I didn\'t say anything. I eventually chose a character & class(I used to play a lot of mmos) but then my phone woke me up.

What a night

Agh, I got into a bad sleeping habit, and haven&#39;t been keeping up with this journal. With summer school ending though, I plan to write in this again (daily, hopefully).

For the record, as of now I&#39;ve had 3 more LD&#39;s (none as long as my first and third, and two of which have been in the past week), bringing my total LD count up to 6 in about one month since I&#39;ve started.

I&#39;ve been bad with this, agh.

Last night I had another Lucid Dream, however, bringing my total up to 8(I had another a few nights before as well that I never wrote down).

Lucid Dream involved me flying through the solar system, and getting caught into different planet&#39;s orbits(the planets were about the size of soccer balls compared to my body), so I&#39;d float around them. Depending on the temperature of the planet, I&#39;d feel either really warm/hot(sun), or really cold(pluto). I ended up flying to the "end of the universe" sort of, in the sense that I flew straight into a school gym, where I was alone, and sat on the benches, looking back at the universe.
