Thread: The Dream Journal Of Chippy!

Welcome Chip, and congrats on starting your journal. It does wonders for the dream recall, because your mind knows an empty journal is no fun at all. Good luck!

Cheers man...

Well... i didnt remember a dream the night after that recall...

BUT! dont fear... i did remember one/two last night! again... quite weird...


Anyway...

The first one entailed me working in a theatre (Im a techy at heart... working in theatres and clubs doing lighting and sound etc). I was by the fly area (where all the ropes are which fly in/out scenery/lights etc) wearing a hat and a dark green overcoat... thats about all i can remember...

The second one involved me running from my house back home around the corner. I was wearing the same hat and overcoat as in the previous dream. I then saw an alsation dog running in the opposite direction quite fast. This made me look around where I saw another alsation behind me running towards me. I ignored it and carried on running. When i got outside my ex girlfriends new boyfriends house (my old old best m8) the alsation pounced on me and grabbed my ankle. Then i woke up!

Why are dreams weird?

Would it work if i asked the Alsations if i was dreaming? I'm assuming that would be a gd reality check if they replied! lol!


Chip

Sorry guys... I didnt recall any dreams last night will try real hard tnite!


Chip

ARGH!

Yet again no dream recall!

I really must work a LOT harder on this&#33; >_<


Chip

OK... well... after moviong back home for a couple of weeks, I have finally had a few dreams which i can remember... Once including a false awakening, where I wrote in my DJ, then re-woke up into the real world... but then i couldnt remember what I was gonna write in my DJ in the dream... if you see what I mean... heh


Anyway... ill start putting the dreams ive had up hopefully from tomorrow...


Chip

Right.... Well... Im back at uni now and have a little spare time.

Since ive been here ive had very few dreams i can remember, most of which I pretty much forget within a few seconds, but one which I managed to write down was:

I was in RED (Uni student union bar where I work as a techy) naked in front of a mockup DJ booth infront of the glass windows, I remember my ass cheeks being pressed against the glass and thats about it!

Now... wtf was that all about! lol

I'm gonna really start trying to remember dreams from here on out... lets see what happens

Hmm... Last few days... NOTHING!

Well... I Remeber a garden center? lol!

MUST REMEMBER MY DREAMS!!

The annoying thing is... I woke up early this morning, and kinda drifted in and out of sleep. About half hour later, I though to myself... Hangon, im drifing in and out... I can remember what i was dreaming (Which I've now forgotten! lol) So why not try to remember to RC etc... At which point I couldnt get back to sleep! Typical!

OK... weird again...

Two nights ago all I remember was a hairdryer...

Last night I can remember a little more...

We all choose a theme, I selected Wild Wild West (Was WWWest theme night at the club I work at last evening) We then started running around the coridors of my old high school from 2-4 years ago. I, inkeeping with the wild west theme had an array of wagons with and beside me, all with guns. All I really remember after that is shooting! lol

Hmm... Getting there slowly I feel, anyway! Must run, need some sleep, going kayaking tomorrow! yey!

Chip

Hmm... OK....

All I have last night is waking up to my alarm, feeling imense anger and I remember looking at the stobe light in the club I work at going off as I wake up...

Nothing more

Ok... Starting to remember a little more each time now.

Last night I had a dream where the boat I picked up tday (My new pride and joy ) Was really long and pointy! (My kayaks supposed to be short and stumpy, so that was weird...

I wrote down something about coffee... no idea what that was about!

And someone had put mud (Symonds yat where i went kayaking on sunday was VERY muddy in the car park) all over my favourite big bright red hoodie!

Hmm... MUST REMEMBER MORE!!!

Thnks for reading...

Don't you hate it when you can't make sense of your dream notes? It's hard to force yourself to write down detail when you've just woken up, especially if you want to go back to sleep.

Yeah... I get that alot, i do love my sleep, especially my lay in's

The annoying thing is, no matter how hard I try it just doesnt occur to me when I wake up to straight away write in my DJ... Im so annoyed!!

As for last night... I remember having a couple of dreams, but I didnt write anything down... damn my ginger mind!

Thanks..

chip

Wasnt feeling too good last night and consequently dont remember anything...

Lets try again tnite!!

Yey! I remembered something last night...

Well... something...

I got an album called 'Oasis B-Sides' the other day. All I remember is seeing a green CD with 'Oasis B-sides' writen in yellow with a box around it...

All else I remember is a pair of jeans I was wearing. For some reason they were unraveling, and then they turned into a mini skirt and kept unravelling...

Hmm... I have no idea what to do about my dream recall

Chip

it will come... are you trying too hard to remember them, maybe? sometimes when i try too hard to remember dreams, it prevents me from actually remembering.

Hmm... no idea to be honest!!

The last few days i've just not bothered with trying to reinforce the fact that 'tnite i will remember my dreams and write them down on awakening' and ive rememberd nothing But then again, ive been very busy and very tired and not really getting enough sleep for what ive been doing!

Ho hum, i just guess ill keep on trying!

Thanks!

Chip

OK.... Good and bad news, 1stly I rememberd some dreams! (yey!) but 2ndly I can only remember what I wrote down of them this morning. I know that earlier I remembered the whole things, but now all i can vagually picture are these words.

Elephant
Bex's Car
Chris late
Curse
Jockstrap

If thats gotta make any sence i dont think i wana remember it! lol!

Ill try again tnite of course

Chip

OK... last night i slept like a baby! but cant remember anything... appart from the lancer i use to test my blood sugar, i remember seeing the needle in it bent...

Hmm...

Chip

Argh! Last night again... I slept so well!

But as I was falling asleep, i suddenly had this overwelming urge to shift because i felt uncomfortable, now, as I understand it, thats purely my body trying to test my mind to see if its awake... This time ill try harder to ignore it! See what happens!

Wish me luck!

I've heard that as well. I'd be interested to see how you make out with that in the future.

Well... the last couple of nights ive been quite tired and have fallen asleep before i got to that point... Maybe it had something to do with myu parents being up for the weekend

Thanks for reading!

Ok... last night was a weird one...

I attempted to keep my mind awake as my body fell asleep by listening to the 'Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy'. I think it worked... I felt my body go asleep (after a bit of aggro when my body wanted to move and I didnt) And i felt my legs melt away. At that point I felt my eyes open slightly and I saw some really trippy things! A kinda swirly pulsating thing... a large rotating ring with lots of smaller rings passing through this large ring at perpendicular to it. These were also rotating, but offcenter. It reminded me of a 3D benchmark test from a few years ago. At that point I started getting a bit excited. I then realised I couldnt hear Hitchhikers any more... Then I woke up, shifted over and fell asleep... (no DR)

Meh... Dunno what that was all about, but was all very trippy

Thanks for reading!

Now you're making it sound easy. I'm going to have to try ignoring my body distractions tonight.

You likely entered the hypnogogic state there. You probably found that you could think normally like when you're awake.

Next time that happens, and you see stuff moving, try to feel your arms or legs moving along in rhythm with what you see. Once that starts to feel comfortable, increase the movement until you can feel it in your whole body, and then you should be fully lucid.
