This will be my nice new dream Journal! Think I need one pretty badly as my dream recall sucks, usually just remember one or two fragments, and only occasionally a bit more.
But I suppose thats the whole point, to try and practice, and get better :)
Monday 12th March - 2007
Went to sleep trying the MILD method, repeated "I will realise that I am dreaming" "I will remember my dreams" over and over
I was some sort of Jedi Like character, but no recognisable force skills.
Highly controlable but small lightsaber, lots of settings, used as a baton like in Futurama too.
Found in the arm of my droid, after following instructions out of a Magazine. On elevator talking to person who magazine was written about, great warrior, annoyed that I didnt know much about him.
Travelled with friends, in some sort of train station type place, cut down all the guards with the lightsaber.
Ran, ended up on a ship in space, like the enterprise from star trek, with two massive ships either side trying to capture me. Cut the two bigger ships into chunks with the lightsaber (massive sense of size difference here) And then when we were being chased by some bad guy, cut our own ship into pieces, seperating the "saucer" part from the rest. Bit later, the ship was hard to use, would take years to reach the nearest planet as didnt have the warp engines anymore. Borg cube appeared, so Myself and a random person followed it through a wormhole in a shuttle.
Ended up on a strange planet, there were a load of stalk headed but intelligent, and religious creatures coming out of the sand on this beach. Using the lightsaber, started cutting through thier necks. Then met this kind of "stoner" one on his own, reminded me of the blonde long haired one from A Scanner Darkly. And then I chopped through his neck too. I think thats when I woke up.
------------------------------
I think this dream was earlier, and so have much less recall
Shopping mall with elevators closed, also a train station, couldnt get home.
Had to walk back in the dark, the place i was at was like Stroud (the place where I went to school from age 10-17)
------------------------------
Think that I did much better with recall than I usually do, perhaps because of the MILD technique when I went to sleep, or simply the process of writing stuff down in the journal i kept by my bed. Either way, pretty good first night for me, even if there was no lucidity :( [/i]
Tuesday 13th March - 2007
Not much to say today, very little recall, just two remembered "fragments"
Something to do with one of my Lecturers and a recent test, was Doctor Minchin and one from the "genes, genetics and heredity" module
And then later one, there was two "groups" I was flying towards one, which was a very tall tower reaching into the clouds, Neiketch? And then there was another that I had heard about, which was underground
Possibly bad recall due to being woken up by traffic outside?
Wednesday 14th March - 2007
I was talking to my old girlfriend Fen over msn, and we were talking about just random things, and looking at the internet, including one site I remember, LUElinks. On the site it had links to some strange pills, which increase amount of lubrication, or somthing strange like that.
Whilst talking to her, my family came into the room, and because these websites were a tad weird, i had to close the tabs they were on, whilst standing in front of the monitor. Whilst this was going on, I was trying to get a download for her, but it kept failing.
At this point i'm walking along the road leading from Long Newton to my own village, Crudwell, talking on msn (for some reason I could access the internet in my head??) And was also talking to my old friend Hannah, who is friends with Fen. She said I needed to move out of my circle of friends, and start talking to new people, at which I said I liked my circle. (at this point I have some image of a redish hazy circle around my, to illustrate the point)
At this point i'm walking along where the big conker tree is, close to where my village starts. Then this strange slow moving Mexican Miner came out of no-where in the opposite direction to me, and started digging at the side of the road with a pickaxe. Whilst talking to Hannah over this "mind msn" i started thinking that I could easily kill this random person, with either bow and arrow, or by grabbing his pickaxe.
Then strangly, this white car came speeding up, and I had to jump to the side of the road, and hide in the daffodils in case it ran me over, I thought it was going to hit the miner, but it ended up stopping just in time, and waiting for him to get out of the way (as he was standing in the middle of the road at the time). Looking at the car, there were a few "Asian rude boys" (as I think of them) in there, and when the miner had walked to the side, they sped off at high speed.
I've started to notice that quite a few of my dreams have been involving archery some how, perhaps this could be a possible dream sign?
I also have the feeling that I had another dream before I woke up for the second time (for this one, I had woke up at 1:30ish) but dont have any recall for that one at all, as I have the feeling I woke in Non-Rem SWS
Hey maybe you can get some practice in! :wink:Quote:

Had two dreams tonight, although not sure if its really two, or one together, with just a hazy link between them... ah well, such is the mysteries of dreaming!
There was a long pair of traintracks set into a deep well in the ground, with very few stations. I'm running along this, with a girl as there is somthing chasing us, I have no idea about this place that i'm in, but she seems to be from this "world"
Getting to a station, we manage to get into some small train, to take us along the tracks, but a couple of strange purple/blue rubber orbs come through the window. One manages to "latch" onto her somehow, and ends up trying to suck somthing out of her, but I manage to tear it off her, and throw it out the window. Whilst this is going on, my "orb" is doing nothing.
After this had happened, we had to escape the small train by going through a window, but for some reason we had to remove the jumpsuit, which I was unhappy about, as it would of meant me getting cold. As we were moving through the window and trying to get away, we started talking about the differences between our two worlds, and the only example I can remember is that they had a baseball player payed £2million a year, whilst ours was payed only £1.8 million. The girl seemed boastful of this fact, as if it made her world "richer" but then I told her that the exchange rate had to be taken into account, as her money was worth a 1/5 of ours.
At this point, i'm not too sure if that dream continued, or became another one entirely, but the girl wasnt in this second one.
I was in my room which i'm in at the moment, planning to go and see Superman 3, which was split into 3 seperate movies, each presented a different way. It was to be played in a big American stadium, so I wondered off there, and seemed to approach it from above, as could see all the big lights, neon glow, and fireworks going off. Getting into the stadium, there were loads of people around, and a hologramed show going on.
There were some stage hands running around, trying to find the Santa decorations to go up, which ended up having been kept in lecture halls for some reason, and including the old gym where I do my Archery (it doesnt occur to me that where i live/shoot, happens to be thousands of miles away from America, where the stadium was located.)
When they had got the Santa cardboard cutouts up, they showed "The Snowman" on a very big projector screen, at which point I decided to leave and go back to my flat.
Waking up the next day, I ended up going out and meeting two people who were from <span style="color:#FF0000">Archery (although not sure who they were) and started walking towards a building. Getting into this building, I ended up seeing three old friends (one of them an ex) Lauren, Harri, and the ex, Tash. They hadnt noticed me yet, even though I was in front of them, and they were talking about where the old downfielders were living now. They knew I was here in Birmingham somewhere, but not sure where, so I just said "Pete is in Tennis courts" And they finally recognised me. I end up talking to just Tash, about our old relationships, what went wrong, and how I was an "arse".
And then I was woken up by my housemates....
There was also one more fragment, I dont think belonging to either of those dreams, in which I opened the door into the kitchen of my flat's kitchen area, and saw my old flatmate Joe (who left a while ago) and started to ask him how he was etc. And thats all I can remember from that.
Friday 16th March - 2007</span>
Didnt get much sleep, and what I did get was fragmented, blame loud housemates and having to sleep on the floor!
We were in the gym where I do my <span style="color:#FF0000">archery practice, yet everyone for some reason had skydiving kits on. Sam was on the line, and had somthing wrong with her chute, so Steve was helping her with it, but whilst going through the practice drills to do a cutaway/deployment of the reserve parachute, she pulled the cord too far, and ended up deploying the reserve, causing her to shoot into the ceiling.
Saturday 17th March - 2007</span>
I'm Boyd from Neighbours, and are going down in an elevator. I arrive to see Toadie being kicked out the hotel complex, after making fun of Paul, even thought there's a big party tonight. He was marched off, and literaly thrown out the door. Toadie sulks off. There isnt anything anyone can do, as Paul has the 51% stake in the hotel complex.
However, Lyn comes back after they had split up just after the marrige, and being married to him, she also controls the buisness, and demands that Toadie is let back in. So myself and a couple others run off to find him, running through the grounds, yelling his name. As we are running past, we see many people in smart clothes head on into the hotel. Kept running, but still couldnt find him.
I really do love neighbours too much....
I'm not at a museam type place, with lots of school children on a trip. They are going into a "tunnel of love" type place, which is run by Stu (the head of my university's LGBT), see two of the male students holding hands into the tunnel.
I take a younger child away from the crowd, to try to teach him to read, as he is illiterate. Taking him along to a support beam in the cieling, I let him drop off, only catching him by his hand. By using the effort to pull him back up onto the beam, he "learns" how to read, and the more effort I give to help him up, the more he learns, and his reading age increases.
Forward to the future, where I am training him as my protege. We are at some strange pc/book shop, and I set him to do a test on the computer. Its time for me to leave him, and end my training, so I head upstairs to say goodbye to the owner. Whilst talking, I end up telling him what makes me go around helping people in the first place.
Flashback to WW2, and i'm a agent on a mission. Surrounded by German soldiers, I end up shooting all of them but one, who corners me, and is about to shoot. But just before he does, a friend on the same mission jumps in front, and takes the bullet for himself, dying. I shoot the German, and vow to always help people from now on throughout my life, in honour of his sacrifice. Back in the present, after explaining this, I escape through the window, and leave them behind.
This next one may of been an extension of the last one, or a new dream. Not too sure, but think it was new.
I'm in the bullring in Birmingham with Lucia and Natasha. Lucia is in her 5th year of medicine, whilst Natasha and I have graduated a couple years ago. I was complaining that I had to sleep on the bed of Lucia's house, as thats where we all used to live, but someone else took over my room when we left!
I was then given a bag of Chocolate coffee beans by Lucia, and we start to walk off and outside. Heading down a few steps, Lucia notices a younger student in the <span style="color:#FF0000">Archery club, which she is now the president of. I give him the greeting "ACOLYTE! warrior of the toucan!" and then a salute, to which he smiled. Walking away, we saw another person from archery, Andy, leaning on the shoulder of another girl, who wasnt his girlfriend, so thought he was cheating. Walking on from this, we went up a load of steps to get to the theatre, at which I complained "how far is it!?" just as we got there
I also remember two "fragments" of dream, not sure where they lie in relation to the others, or each other.
Somthing to do with being sent down to Earth by my family in a pod/spaceship. In the dream, i had a huge feeling like I was the superman baby.
There is some strange blue nosed creature bouncing, or being bounced around a courtyard (some game perhaps?) There was a background song, but cant remember it at all
Quite happy with tonight's recall!
Sunday 18th March - 2007
I'm in a plane, sitting next to Johnny Helbrow and my friend Adam, along with some other background faces. facing forwards for some reason (as in skydiving, you have to face backwards) and only Johnny has a parachute.
The plane is circling the Drop zone, trying to get to the correct hight. Comment to Adam how good the weather is today, and we should get quite a few jumps in.
However, we never managed to get high enough, and kept cirlcing the drop zone, going over a bridge, and through branches of a tree. Eventually, a guy jumps out the plane into the river underneath the bridge, whilst I am watching this from the side of the river. He pulls someone out, and then goes in again, jumping out the plane on some sort of line, pulling someone else out. I asked if there were anyone else in the water, but there wasnt so I just sat and watched.
Monday 19th March - 2007
I woke up this morning and thought "damn, cant remember anything" spent 5-10 minutes like that, quite annoyed about it. Then one thing sparked my memory, and it all came tumbling back....
I'm in a clothes/sports shop with friends, being dragged around shopping. I go off to this side corner, and some young kids around me find a shoe on the floor, which had fallen off a dummy which had been hanging from the ceiling. So, as i'm much taller than they are, they ask me to put it back on, but I refuse. I end up going to see the manager, as I dont want to do it myself, in case I break it.
Meeting the manger, it happens to be the actor who plays JP in the second series of the UK TV show, "teachers". I greeted him (for some reason, i'm one of the actors from it too, but I dont know which one) but he didnt recognise me, or even remember being on the show for a while, until I prompted him. He starts to get all snotty, that his life now is much better than what it used to be as just an actor, so I just leave the store
I'm now in the cinema, and have just seen one bad film, and then go to leave, but see the actor's who played Simon and Susan sitting at the back, so go over and say hi, and start talking about the old days. They are about to see the film Spiderman 3, so I try to sit next to them, but there is no room, and I end up going behind.
Eventually, I "merged" into the film, and became Spiderman, swinging around from building to building, trying to get "points" in a race. As i'm swinging around, the buildings are half melting into a black glassy material, and i'm trying to keep ahead. At the end, I start to discuss my points with someone who reminded me of J Jonah Jameson. After i've swung away from him, I head an interdimensional demon (which reminds me of the dreadguard from Warcraft) talking about a plan to cut us superheroes off from the source of the power, which is the demons home dimension.
I would of loved to become Lucid in that dream, and start swinging around...
I'm walking in the dark to my local playing field, just so I can walk around with music on, and swing/climb on the nets between the football posts (which were really really high) Whats i've been there for a couple minutes, I see El walking around listening to her music, so I go over and say hi.
We talk for a bit, and then go back to her room in Manor house, and end up talking some more, but it starts to get into awkward silence phase, and as its late, at 11:34pm, she asks me to leave. So leaving her flat, I try to find my way out of the house, which has grown larger, into a sort of half shopping mall/half accomedation. Walking past lots of students, I eventually find my way out
Tuesday 20th March - 2007
Absolutly no recall.... woke up, and had nothing. Really dissapointing
Edit : I did eventually remember one thing, meeting a guy that I had met in the first week of university at the LGBT, all I can remember is talking to him, but not sure what about
Wednesday 21st March - 2007
I'm at the drop zone with Frances, waiting to get a lift (skydiving). But the weather is starting to look clowdy, and possibly looks like it could thunderstorm, so we end up not being able to go up. Both end up really dissapointed.
We end up heading on home in a very crowded train, she manages to get a seat, whilst I have to stand near the door, and sit on the floor. Frances lets me know her friend will be there to pick us up in his car when we get to the station.
When we get there, I manage to get off fine, but as its so packed, Frances cant get past the crowd, and the train ends up leaving. I watch the train move off, looking at her through the window. At this point, I find her friend, and we have a good laugh about what happened to her. Eventually we split up, and I walk into Stroud.
Thursday 22nd March - 2007
All that I can remember from tonight is having a strange talk about my new haircut with Lucia, and if its better being short or long
Friday 23rd March - 2007</span>
I'm off to a forign country, somewhere in Asia with my friends Natasha and Lucia, going to see Natasha's parents. So we fly there, and end up in a desert type of area. We reach a small town type place and have to get some more transport, in a small desert jeep.
At this town however, we stayed there for a bit, and made huge funnels in the sand, in which we used to jump into. At this point Natasha and Lucia go off in the car, but as i'd realised that i'd forgot somthing, I had to fly all the way back home, needing two flights there, and back.
I think at some point aswell my dad was flying one of the planes, so I got to talk to him.
I end up reaching Natasha in very good time, as if it had been only a couple minutes, and we go into a restaurent with her parents. They start talking about the sort of food there, and wondering if I would like it, so Natasha picks out some more simpler meals, such as rice balls for me to eat.
At this point I was woken up by some of the girls from the flat upstairs, banging on our front door, quite drunk, yelling "wake up! wake up!" - Oh the joys of living in student accomedation..... but at least it let me remember my dreams :D
Then I had the second dream, the big one, the Lucid one :D
<span style="color:#000099">I cant remember much of what happened, only that it seemed like I was in some sort of Action movie, with a very twisted and convolulted plot line. Some parts are being in a fish and chips shop with a tank in, battling some agent type people, and walking along in the dark in Cirencester.
Although I didnt have control, and I did "feel" that i was in my body on the bed, and that I was watching everything happen as if i was a camera man in a film. I did keep saying to myself "i'm dreaming" "this is a dream" and I knew (for most of the time) that it wasnt reality.
Then when that faded away, I had a really good dream about some sort of Earth Meal, which I could remember a lot of when I woke up, but I was a bit lax, and didnt write it down, letting my mind wander around, and then lost almost all of it, apart from the fact that it had somthing to do with an "Earth meal" in a fancy restaurent, and the whole dream took place in there.
