Thread: My World / My Dreams / Adams Journal

Yay Adam! You started up a new journal! Good for you! I'm looking forward to reading about your dreams!

That's great that you're doing this. Good start!

1st June 2007 - Day 1

#1 : Vista Trouble // Typical - My first day in my journal and I had a really bad nights sleep! I think I was over tired and stressed. I just got Vista you see for my PC and it had been giving me all sorts of trouble. I find I need a good 8 hours sleep and didn't get to bed till gone 1am and have to be up at 7am so under 6 hours sleep and I don't really remember too much. All I do remember is messing with my computer, but it wouldnt work; no matter what I tried! Which was similar to most of my night. Anyways, here is hoping this weekend can bring on some dreams.

Thoughts:
Ok, I'm thinking this DJ might be bad news for me, last time I started one my racall was rubbish; coincidence maybe, but lastnight my recall was bad too. Will see how this goes...

On a side note, I found some entried in my journal by my bed; I think these must be from the last time I started one up. And there are some weird notes in there. I dont remember the dreams from that night at all but these are the notes I found, again, I really don't remember writing this at all lol.

- Running from Matt's house, but its miles away, ran through some sprinklers

- Playing with bugs in the sink

- Trying to get back with x (my ex girlfriend from when I was 18)

- Working on a system here at work, but its broken and I cant fix it.

Strange how I don't even remember writing them. Anyway, hope tonight has better results for me, will have a couple of glasses of wine (usually helps). Speak tomorrow

your recall may not have anything to do with the journal. you did say that you got less sleep than you should have last night. that happens to me too. i need between 8 and 9 hours of sleep to have a really good recall. i got like between 7 and 8. im really tired. and cant remember one single dream. i dont even remember have any dreams for that fact.

2nd June 2007 - Day 2

#2 : Hiding Something // This was a very long dream, but a very mixed up one too, I think it might have been more than one dream but remember is as one. It started out drinking in a bar with some guy, I have no idea who he was, but for some reason I felt I had to stay with him, we would have a couple of drinks there, then he needed to go outside for a cigarette. So I followed him, be then we got out he said he needed to go home, which I felt was also my home but he wanted to go a different was so he did. When I got home my whole family was there. I dont like with me family in the waking life, so should have picked up on this but I didn't. Anyway they were trying to hide my stepdad from someone for some reason. I didn't know why either, I think it might have had something to do with the guy I was drinking with at the bar? The rest of the dream was pretty cloudy and seemed like we were hiding out in this house for a while.

Thoughts:
Being a Friday night again I didn't get as much sleep as I wanted, but this dream went on for what felt like ages! Going to try get a decent kip tonight, may even get a granny nap in this afternoon.

#3 : Lost Something // Was out with some mates last night and had a few drinks, so my recal of this dream is not great, just remember little bits about trying to find something, but I don't know what it was, and I know I didnt find it either.

Thoughts:
Drink does not help recall

4th June 2007 - Day 4

#4 : Construction // Was working on a construction site, but rather than working with my hands was doing everythiing by computer. Was weird as didnt need to touch the computer either it was like my thoughts made the computer work, which then made all the toold/vehicles etc move.

#5 : Drugs // Not quite sure about this one, was in my living room at my Dads house, but is was not his real house, and there were people sitting around a table trying to take drugs. I got scared so ran away, by time I got back they had gone and my Dad as home. Fortunately he had not caught them!

#6 : My old car // Was dreaming that I had my old car back, which I sold a couple of years ago. But it was always in this one parking space, and I was always trying to drive it out but the breaks were rubbish, I kept hitting walls and stuff. Was amazing still driving that car again, I miss it

Thoughts:
Seem to be having a lot of computer dreams since I installed Vista on my PC a couple of weks ago...

5th June 2007 - Day 5

#7 : Going to War! // OK, these details are not very convoluted. I remember parts of the dream, normally I would post this as soon as I wake, but was late for work this morning so doing it now. I was at war. Well, I was hiding from people and I had a gun. I think the reason being was because I watched a few episodes of Lost before I went to bed and they were going to fight 'the others'. So anyway, the main part I remember was being under a wooden decking almost with a gun, and like all my dreams, when I have a gun, it didn't feel like the bullets were actually coming out of the gun, almost like I was willing the guys I was shooting to die. I should have picked up on this really, as was so obviously a dream, but I never did unfortunately. Then later on in the dream I meet someone off here. Its strange, its the first time I have met someone from DV in a dream. I think it was because I was looking though the pictures of people in the favourites forum, and must have stuck lol. But yeah, this person was showing me how to use the gun and that's all I remember.

Thoughts:
Day 5 for the journal and still no LD since starting this journal; I think it might be a curse. Last time I started one my dream recall and LDs went down, I will carry on though as would like to have a record of my LDs to read in the future, and would be fun reading about trying out the monthly tasks!!

I don't know if you believe in fate and all that sort of thing (I'm not even sure if I do) but I just finished writing up the first couple of entries for my dream journal, and I was going to shut down the PC, but I decided not to, and I came to look at this instead (just this one out of all the DJ's. But anyways, enough of the strangeness in real life - there is plenty of that in dreams.

The point is, I think I know what you mean about just willing people to die and using the computer with you're mind. I have very similar things in my dreams. Feel free to have a look. I only have 2 old dreams there so far, but I will get round to adding more soon (including slightly more recent ones):

It's weird isn't it, and sometimes I dont even pick up on it to become lucid which really irritates me in the mornings lol

6th June 2007 - Day 6

#8 : Ringtone // Oh this was a funny one. I was at work, and for some reason I couldn't change the ring tone on my mobile. It went off a couple of times and people were looking at me, then the guy behind me, his mobile went off, but his ringtone was the sound of a woman pleasurably screaming, he was very embarrassed, and it took away all the attention from me. Was a funny one!

Thoughts:
I had so many dreams last night and when I woke up I remembered them all, then I opened my eyes and it was like a mental block, and I had to fight to remember this bit, which was a little weird....

Anyway, went for a new job at work today. Means I will be working 5 minutes from my house rather than an hour and a half so would be good for me. Will see what happens there.

You know, I wish I would have dreams about my cell phone. I have it with me all the time. When I sleep it's a foot away from me (I use it as my alarm clock). I always wish I'd have a dream with my cell phone in it so I can do a reality check with it, but it never happens! And THAT drives me absolutely insane! I have it on me all the time in the waking world, one would think I'd have it all the time on me in the sleeping world too.

My dreams very rarely actually have connections to the real world in ANY way. Even if I know one of the characters in the dream, they don't often look like the person does in real life, even though I know that it is that person.

Adam:

It is wierd, but to me it always felt kinda... natural. It was kinda surprising first time it happened. Then again, I did have the first dream like that when I was about 9, and they have been pretty common since then.

Shame about the phone, but rather than thinking it should be adream sign, why not use something that is already in your dreams?

Soft Paw - I know what you mean, mine have always been like this.

7th June 2007 - Day 7

#9 : What? // I should have wrote this yesterday, but forgot, anyway looking over my notes forthis dream all it says is "Out in Brighton, But for 200 got earning for girl but only 1" Now what that means I don't know, and don't remember this dream either lol!


#10 : Marriage // This was awesome, It was a huge long dream, started off ah... I know what the above means now, my friend bought a bat for £200 like a base basll bat lol I remember but dont remember about the girl lol. Anyway, I was in this room and I could see my friend, he was talking to this guy on a sofa I think, then i shifted over to try hear what they were talking about and all I could hear was this guy saying to my friend, she wants to marry you, she does want to, she is just waiting for you to ask her! Anyway I emailed my friend about this and apparently, they have been thinking about it but postponned it lol - Freaked him out when I asked him about it lol.

Thoughts:
Another precognative dream, interesting lol. Dont think my mate thought so, he more than likely thinks I'm a freak now!!

#11 : Damn women! // Right so I was in my car and driving to work with my mate, who I always drive in with, and I get to this junction in the road, now it looks really familiar like I have driven here in a dream before, because it certainly was not the way to work, it just was in my dream, I guess here is dream sign 1 missed. And then I take the wrong turning so I have to skip lanes and it seems I keep going on the wrong side of the road and always end up driving into traffic. We eventually stop, but I don't see myself get to work I just am in this office, but rather than sitting at desks we are all in beds, should have picked up on this too, so were all talking about work and stuff when I decided I needed to go to the toilet, the toilet was awesome, it had this special thing attached which converted it into a toilet for someone disabled! Cant remember exactly what it was though but I remember thinking it was cool. So anyway I walked out the bathroom, then notice I'm not wearing any clothes, WTF, so I think never mind, I will just go back to the room I'm sure everyone else is naked. Then it hits me, stop being so stupid, your dreaming!!! Awesome I thought. Then I remembered that I needed some work on stabilising my dreams because all my techniques were failing, I tried staring at things and rubbing my hands together, but it didnt work so I though never mind I will just carry on. Was walking back to the room to find the others, then thought I needed to try the task of the month, but I couldn't remember them. Then it came to me about walking through fire, so I looked into the doorway and there was this big towel in the way, and rather than using a lighter or something I though I would will it to catch on fire and walk through, but it wouldnt catch alight, so I went into the room to find out if someone had a lighter, but this girl said "You shouldn't play with fire, its bad for you" then proceeded to take her clothes off, and then then I just suddenly woke up!!!

I was gutted and angry at her for this!! I was about to do my first task and she wouldn't let me and woke me up!!

Thoughts:
I will do this task at some point this month!!!

Thats cool, next time, look at your hand-watch and see if the seocnds (better digital watch) are going right, if dont, you are dreaming!

And next time.. when you dont wear anything.. dont pop in my dream, im not naked
LOL

Lol

I don’t have a problem with recognising when I'm dreaming. I'm pretty good at inducing lucid dreams, but what I do currently have a problem with for some reason is staying lucid and increasing vividness. I have never had a problem with this before but for some reason my LDs have become kind of cloudy. When I get home tonight I will photoshop a picture so you can see what my view is when dreaming.

I need some clarity in my dreams, at the moment, its all a little fuzzy.

Yeah not had the naked dream since school - it was one of my main dream signs when I was a kid. Usually forgetting clothes for school or something. I think this is why I had better LDs back in school, because this sign was always happening lol. Now some 10 years later I don’t really have the naked dreams, so managed to pick up on this fairly quickly!

I suppose I should try that. I just need to work more on figuring out my dream signs. Other than the flying, I don't really have any other re-occuring dream signs. I have dreams with very significant signs but they usually don't appear more than just that one time, or just few and far between.

What does that do? I havent read about that yet.

OK about my dream views.

This is my living room:



And this is my dream living room:



I somehow need to increase the clarity, but no matter what I try, it doesn't work! Any ideas?

Apparently it is supposed to increase vividness in dreams and steady the dream.

9th June 2007 - Day 9

#12 : War... Again... // Again, for the second time this month, or week even I dream of war! This was kind of like a computer game but real. I left it too late to write up any real notes on it but found a note in my paper DJ which reads: "Let down by taxi" now I have no idea what this means. I don't even remember writing in the journal lol. Oh well. Tomorrow morning I think I will log on first thing to make sure I get it all down lol.

Thoughts:
Dreaming about war again... Not good! Also why do I write these crazy notes in my DJ and never remember what they mean, or even remember writing them. Its like I sleep take notes lol

#13 : Ferrari // Ok so I was driving to work, I didn’t have anyone with me, which is weird because there are 4 of us who normally drive into work together. And pulled up outside and notice I'm driving a Ferrari, cool I thought, not thinking to RC at this point. SO anyway can't remember what went up leading up to the next point but I decided since I have this Ferrari and they are the car of my dreams, I would drive it about! So I got in the car and was driving around hoping people would see me but ended up going down this path and into the woods, then I remember it sliding, almost like I was thinking what would happen if I slid into these trees, and it was like I came out the car and floated through the trees then back in the car on the other side. Ok I should really have picked up on the fact I was dreaming here!!

So I decide I really should get back to work, but this time I'm walking. And I see a couple of girls (one of my dream signs is girls; don’t ask me why, they just always make me lucid). As I look at the girls I was thinking, should I become lucid now, or wait till I see some more? Why I don’t know, I could have become lucid. So carried on walking up this hill and notice four girls, and think this time I will become lucid for sure! And sure enough I was, then all thoughts were running through my head, I had the lucid task of the month to try, and I remember I have to work on my clarity as per my other post, but one of the girls was really upset, crying. So I thought the task could wait she needs my help, she is crying, then sits down, so I sat with her. I didn't need to ask her what was wrong I just looked into her eyes and there was so much pain and hurt in her eyes, then the dream started fading, damn, I knew this was going to happen, I need to work on making this more vivid but I have this poor girl crying in front of me.

So one of the points to work on to increase vividness was to really look at something in great detail. So I starred at her eyes, and her face, and touched her face, but she started kissing me, we were alone in the woods, all I could see were her bright blue eyes, filled with tears as she kissed me, I remember the feeling, I should feel her breath on me, even smell it. But then it started going black again, and for a while it was all black but I still had the feelings so carried on until....

I woke up! Again, this is another girl that has woke me up!!! I wanted to do some work on increasing clarity, and she just wanted to stop me by kissing me!! Next time I see a girl in my dreams I think I will shoot her lol.

Thoughts:
Again, a girl comes up to get me lucid. Quite an amazing dream sign to have really, since girls are usually in my dreams at some point lol. Next time though, they are not going to get the better of me!!!

Hey now! Don't go blaming girls because you don't get your task done! I know exactly what that could be blamed on! But I'll be nice, and I wont say it! :p
