Thread: Sparkling Horizon's Dream Journal

This dream journal will be an archive of my dreams, as well as a testament to my quest for lucidity! If you have something to say, please feel free to reply.

Last night I tried to WILD but I only got to about 66. Total failure... my mind kept wandering off too much.

Baby and the Nazis

I was standing on a tram platform. Everyone was piling out of the tram as a PA informed us the trams were broken and wouldn't be running anymore. I had a baby with me. I was carrying him/her in my arms and every now and then I'd play with or talk to the baby. I put baby on the floor then took a few steps forward, then turned back and encouraged baby to crawl to me. It was cute...

Next we were walking home. Did something else happen here? When I got home, I was in a very bad mood. I think I left baby inside and I went straight into the backyard and smoked a cigarette! (I don't smoke irl) Outside was very strange. It was nighttime, but the grass and everything was brightly lit. Only the sky was dark... My Mum suddenly appeared and started telling me I was selfish for smoking when I had a baby (even though baby was indoors.) I suddenly broke down and told her, crying, that I couldn't handle so much pressure anymore. I said, "I have a full time job, a baby, and now I have to go grocery shopping as well!" I think I felt sorry for myself; as though Mum should be helping me out a little more.

Anyway, then I went back into my house and watched Sesame Street with baby. Then I went upstairs to feed the pets - I had a baby kitten and two piglets. One of the piglets was sometimes a puppy, though. I encountered some difficulty trying to feed them, as I fed the kitten first, the piglet came and scoffed all its food! So I had to keep them separate.

Next thing I'm outside in the street (getting groceries?) and somebody tells me to read a newspaper. They sound disappointed, but I can't see them properly. I look at the newspaper that is suddenly in my hands and the headlines read, "Holy blanket, cat and pig all found in one place!" I knew they were talking about my house. I also knew that Nazis had been raiding houses in this area. Suddenly I knew I belonged to some sort of anti-Nazi organisation and we were operating covertly. I felt awful now for not being more careful and discreet. I was convinced that I gave myself away when I had that cigarette because the Nazis would have seen the fire and smoke.

Also, the holy blanket, there was only one of them, so I must have been the group leader to be in possession of it. (The blanket was formerly the baby.) Along with the holy cat and holy pig, I'd given them a powerful weapon. Now I couldn't go home or they'd capture me too. I went into an alleyway where a family of pigs were living in cardboard boxes. Maybe they were holy pig's family because I felt an emotional attachment to them and started covering them all with newspaper and straw to keep them warm.

What a long dream...

I attempted another WBTB WILD last night, but it didn't work. I only got out of bed to turn off my alarm this time (since last time I woke up far too much) but it still took me forever to get sleepy again. As well as that, I also had trouble keeping my mind focused the entire time. Was I too awake (took too long) or too sleepy (couldn't concentrate)? Maybe WILD just isn't the method for me...

Techno Room

I was in this huge room filled with computers and large screen TVs. My Mum, sister and some strangers were there as well. We were all spaced around the room, lit only by the TV light, watching a movie. I got tired, so we decided to turn it off and go to sleep. But after a few minutes, I became restless and angry for some reason. I turned the TV back on, expecting everyone to get mad at me, but no one said a word. We watched the movie for a few more minutes until I got fed up (lol @ dream me) and went on a computer instead.

Soon after, a new lady entered the room. She was dressed conservatively in a brown tweed dress, and a square hat with a pink carnation. She went around the room, talking to everyone on computers, and then finally came to me. She told me she was looking for something and could I use the internet to help her? I said Sure, and opened up Google, but the page was completely different! It was massive and complex, more like a badly made portal, and there was no search function! I was totally confused. Taking this as incompetence with computers, the lady got on a computer of her own and said not to worry, she’d find it herself. I felt disappointed.

Bowie’s Hair

I wish I could remember more of this one! Something about David Bowie with his '77 style hair, looking in a mirror, and using gel to make it spiky. He said he didn’t want “devil horns” though, and he didn’t want it to go like Billy Idol… No offence Billy Idol! I liked your hair. I probably just dreamt this because I was thinking how Bowie’s “Serious Moonlight” hair looks a bit like Idol’s in '87-'90.

I tried to use DEILD last night, but I’d accidentally set my alarm, which woke me up at 4am (I went to bed at 12) so, who knows if I would have woken up at all? Also this morning, my dogs woke me up by barking and I had to get up straight away to tell them to stop, so that seriously screwed up my recall…

Changing Dog Coat

In this dream I have a dog, and I think I only got him a little while ago. He looks quite ordinary, grey-white coat, and stands about knee high. I was taking him for a walk at night, and I’d bought him a sandy colored doggie jacket, because it was winter and he was cold. But then I decided his coat color wouldn’t go with it very well, so I decided to get it changed. No, not the jacket, his coat… (Thank you Sims 2: Pets)

So we went to the shopping mall and I started looking for a dog clipper. I noticed one shop had lots of doodles of cat and dog paws on the floor outside it, but it wasn’t open. Then I found a map of the mall, and located another pet shop/restaurant. (Winning combination, don’t you think?) Unfortunately, it was also closed, it being night and all.

Then a person came up and told me I should use the other pet shop, as it was much better. I told him it wasn’t open. He seemed amused and explained to me all I had to do was draw a picture of my dog’s paw on the floor outside, and get my dog to step on it, then the doors would open like it was a key. I thought, wow, technology these days is great! So off I went and drew my dog’s paw on the floor. I remember questioning my whole decision then, thinking, why does he need a different color coat? I just bought him a colored jacket to wear, wouldn’t that seem to change his color anyway?

Weird Game

Can’t remember this one hardly at all. There was a group of people, each person clinging to the top of a tall white pole. These poles (think giant flag pole without the flag) were all lined along the edge of a cliff. If the person fell, they would die, and the last person left was the winner. I don’t know why they wanted to play this game. I just remember walking along the ground, looking up at all of them. It was very eerie. I also remember a close up view of a swarm of ants; probably indicating somebody was disadvantaged because their pole was crawling with ants. Then the gamekeeper told me a woman had just fallen off, and I was really upset because she was an animal rights activist.

Pterodactyl Attack

Can’t remember all of this one, either. I was trying to get someplace. I think it was a garden that looked like Eden, very “paradise” like. I was with another man and woman. We were being hunted by pterodactyls. We were running mostly along a huge road, like a deserted highway. It was a bit warped, though. It appeared very realistic, except there were loops and gaps and platforms of different height… kinda like Sonic! There was something about an elevator. I think we were trying to get in because the pterodactyl was about to get us. I remember I took out one of the pterodactyls by leaping off a higher platform and jump kicking it mid-air (What is it with dream me and jump kicking things?!) I was a little freaked out though, because when I touched it, it suddenly seemed extremely real. I can still remember what its skin felt like. *shudder*

Tried DEILD again, but I don't remember waking up at any time in the night.

What Funhouse?

I was going to catch the tram to go to a new university or something. I remember walking through the town, first. Everywhere looked all sparkly and clean. The buildings and streets were either white or pearl colored. It was lovely! It looked a little like Glenelg in that it was open, and there were a few steps and a railing around the center.

When the tram arrived, it was also very open; it had no roof or sides! The two rows of double seats were both on the same side of the walkway, though. I sat next to some girl, then two people sat next to me, but I know there was an empty space between me and the girl. (five seats??)

Then we got off. Unfortunately I can’t remember much after this. I remember being in a park with thick green, trimmed hedges. Also, there was a crocodile that everyone was afraid of. It had become a legend of sorts. I wasn’t much frightened though.

...missing scene?...

Then I am in a cinema lobby with royal blue carpets and walls, much like the Greater Union at Westfield Marion. I was going to buy tickets, but the lobby was massive and there were doors all in the wrong places… very disorganized. Also there were crowds of young people, about my age or early 20s, all lounging around, talking, sitting on the floor. I didn’t know what they were doing there, but it made me feel like I wasn’t supposed to be there.

The next day I went back to the uni/garden place again. The girl I had sat next to on the tram was there. Underneath some hedges, I found the crocodile’s severed head. I showed her. We were trying to figure out if he was murdered or if he committed suicide. I somehow knew how he had died, as I saw in my mind the crocodile getting run over by a train.

I've forgotten something important about this dream. The uni/garden place, I think it was actually a fun house because I remember the first time I woke up this morning (and was too lazy to get out of bed) I told my half asleep brain “don't forget the dream about the funhouse!!!” Also, I get the feeling we had to solve some puzzles to advance into different rooms… I was holding a piece of paper.

The Great Escape

I was sitting in the lounge room, watching the news with Mum. For some reason, David Bowie had been arrested. This part (in the dream) we already knew, but then the news person announced that Bowie had taken control of the police car he was being transported in, and was speeding away towards “New Mexico” (Is that different from just plain Mexico? I think it was meant to be Mexico) Mum then turned to me and said, “How awful. Even if he gets there, he'll have to live in Mexico forever now.” I said, “No he won't, he'll just fly somewhere else. He'll probably go live in Switzerland or something.” Mum said, “Oh yeah, that's true.”

Then all of I sudden, I was Bowie driving the car through what was evidently scrubland. The road I was following was a dirt path, and extremely bumpy. I knew the police were following me (not too close, so it wasn’t a real panic.) In fact, it was a bit exciting. I kept thinking, “I’m actually getting away!” It was kind of like a video game. Sometimes I would go into birdseye view, so I could see when forks in the road were coming up and such. The police car was like one of those American ones, with a black front and back.

Anyway, I finally started to see people along the road. They looked very desolate, wearing rags, and their skin was pale blue because they were so unhealthy. Nonetheless, I wanted to get out and talk to them. It’s as though they were npcs in an rpg game. (I always have to talk to every single one I see) In the end, I chose the more sensible path, considering the circumstances, and kept going in my car.

The ground soon turned to deep brown dirt, as I passed more and more of these creepy people. Eventually I began passing buildings too, and I started to feel much safer from the police. The buildings were made of corrugated iron and scraps of wood and stuff. These were obviously very poor people living here. When I reached what looked like the town center, I got out and walked into one of the buildings, looking for a job. I knew the workers here were treated like slaves.

The building I went into was like a maze. The hallways were painted stark white, and only wide enough for one person. I was getting very claustrophobic. They told me my job was to gather all the spoons and then send them on to the next people, like a production line. I think they were going to melt the spoons down for their metal. I was having difficulty keeping up, because I couldn't gather the spoons well enough. I was searching through a yellow blanket on a shelf, and one of the spoons fell into a toilet. I was horrified because I didn't want to put my hand in to get it out! All of a sudden, the room was filled with toilets and I couldn't remember which one it fell in… One of the other worker girls had to cover for me because I was wasting so much time. I never did find it before the dream ended…

Dream of a Lucid Dream

I was sitting on the sofa (in my dream) when I closed my eyes and discovered, startled, that I could imagine moving my arms up, and they seemed perfectly real! I mean, they looked 100% real to dream-me. I couldn’t believe it was finally working! The only problem was, I wasn’t really asleep (I’d only closed my eyes) so when I tried to move or do anything in my “lucid dream”, I moved in “real life” as well. I decided to go to my bedroom and lie on the bed and see if that was cause SP to come on. Unfortunately, it didn’t. Every time I wanted to do something in my lucid dream, I would become aware of my physical body moving too. It was very frustrating!

...
Well now I missed breakfast typing all that up! :p

You have some nice, interesting dreams! As for that "Dream of a Lucid dream" I've had issues like that before.

My eyelids were so heavy in one of my dreams that I was afraid to open them because everytime I tried I sensed my physical body and my heavy eyelids there too!

Hi, thanks for commenting! I wish I had some real lucid dreams to share as well. That "Dream of a Lucid Dream" was so bizarre! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's experienced something like that!
