Thread: Sara's journey to lucidity

Hehehe, from shaving to ketchup, it's a small step

We usually eat hamburger, frikandel and stuff like that with Curry, not with Ketchup. Don't know if you have Curry, but it's the spicey version of Ketchup

So, you probably don't know 'chips at war' then? Which is chips with chopped onions, mayonaise, curry and saté-sauce (that's spicey peanut sauce).

Hahaha, yeah, I'll kick her next time I see her.

lol that is insane! I hardly ever have toilet dreams but it seems they are quite a common thing...I wounder why they are always so open in dreams

I stick with the general explanation of toilet dreams. They are about expressing your emotions (IRL) and every time I see the relation between the dream and RL. But for yesterday, I'm not so sure...

lol that dancing part seems mad! I would have not enjoyed that, did you feel embarrassed at all?

Yeah, I don't like dancing that much, so standing in the middle of a group and not knowing what to do was pretty awkward. I only dance after a few glasses of wine

lol what can I say.....this lack of control in your sex related dreams seems common. It is a strange thing...I bet you were like WTF!! when he got naked and even more so when he started lubing up

It was really weird. But I never expected my dream-self to be morally right and reject him, LOL. Maybe it was because he's my friends husband. If it were any other man, we'd have made out in the shower

In parts of England chips with curry sauce is popular. Not like ketchup though. More like a yellow spicy gravy.

Never heard of any of it. But I would sure like to try it!

Dreams on 13 February 2008

Larger title, so it will be easier to recognise my dream entries.

The unfindable book
- there was a classroom scene before this, but I forgot all details about it, something about my old high school -

I'm in my old bedroom (at parents place) but with my current bed. A man, who pretends to be a teacher, is in my room, as well as some students I've never seen. He tells us we have to find a book which has a disappointing ending. All students start to read a book, but I know I've read a book like that before, so I search in my bookcase for this specific book. There's a lot of non-literature books in my bookcase. Like dairies, notebooks, books about flowers and esotheric oils. Also, there's a book-like wrapping with a very tiny straw baby shoe in it. Inside is said to be a golden baby show, the size of a hanger for a necklace, but I don't dare to unwrap it.

I keep looking and looking for this book, but never found it, neither could I remember the title.

Upon awakening, I remember I had been reading a book earlier in the dream. And very typical: the only book I ever read cover to cover without really liking it, was a book that was supposed to be about lucid dreaming. It DID have a dissatisfying end. The only reason I kept reading was because I wanted to find this info on lucid dreaming, but it wasn't there

Working in the horse stable
I'm in an horse stable, looks like my old riding school. (dark and full of straw in the corridors). I'm tying halters (which is my business) and tell an old man about how my halters work. Then a girl comes by and tells me this is rubbish and he shouldn't listen to me. I'm disappointed and leave.

Damn, this was the girl from yesterday! And I didn't kick her butt! Sorry Mark, I'm just not good at that

ha ha no problem Sara....I just think it would be great to read about you kicking someones ass, especially this one who comes along and tries to ruin your business

Chances increase if he sees his name being mentioned
It's getting a common dream sign for me: looking for stuff (mostly text related) which I can't find... must be something in my daily life that is bothering me.

What book was that sara? I think I remember you saying you read EWOLD is that what you are talking about?

Noooo, EWOLD is the best LD book ever!
I don't remember the title, have to ask my ex, it was his book. Something about a lady who went to Tibet. Most boring book ever, but maybe now I know more about lucid dreaming, I'll understand more of it

ha ha no problem Sara....I just think it would be great to read about you kicking someones ass, especially this one who comes along and tries to ruin your business

LOL, so you'd like to see some

LOL she's your internal critic. Perhaps you just don't get angry enough

Originally Posted by Burned up

Maybe there's a little lesson in there for me... I often get angry 'inside' but don't let others know. Or just by acting irritated and not speaking out what the problem really is. (Although the numerous toilet dreams prove at least something's changing...) Thanks guys for making me think about this

Dreams on Valentines Day 2008

Sorry for the long read guys. I had an amazingly long dream so early in the night. Went to bed at 0:00 and woke up at 0:40 'scary' parts in purple if you want to read some freaky stuff


Skinned animals in France

In the beginning, I was at the beach with my young horse at sunset. We were playing at liberty, he was following me around. Occasionally he walked the other way, but came back when I called him. This is a real dream for me, to be doing this with him in the future It got darker, so I went home (horse disappeared) and met my sister in a gigantic house. We did some house holding tasks (cleaning up dishes and I think she had cooked some food). The owner of the house was also around, but not really visible.

Then, my sister and I went outside, into the forest. We were carrying a large bag, that was full of animals. It had a long list of animal names and small pictures (like thumbnails) and there were numbers behind the names which animals were in the bag. There were 2 chickens, 4 cocks, 2 foxes (ahh, fox again!) 2 other breed of chickens (I call them: poulepetaat) and 4 'cailles' (french for: quails). I was amazed that all these animals were in this bag, because it wasn't THAT big at all. We made some tour through the forest, don't remember details. Just before we got back, we had to release the animals. My sister opened the bag and took out a pair of quails. They were tied together with their legs, but we only noticed when she dropped them. They ran off, but then we saw our mistake, we should have untied them!! I ran after them and they got stuck around a tree (one on each side, lol) I managed to separate them, but they ran with still a long wire around their paws.

Then we pulled out some of the chickens, but they had no claws on their legs. In fact: they were skinned! But the head was still on, so they were alive! I was a bit disgusted, but more I felt really sorry for these animals. We couldn't drop them in the forest like that

My sis told me this was done to preserve the meat till you eat it. As long as the animal is alive, the meat won't rot, but when you have dead meat, you can't keep it outside the fridge. I agreed with this explanation, but still it was terrible for the animals.

Oh, and we couldn't find the foxes inside, which didn't surprise me, cause I didn't believe they were in there from the beginning.

We got home and my sis switched the covers on her phone. She had 5 different ones, all with the same pattern of squares and very similar colors. So I asked 'why do you have so many, if they all look the same?'. "Well, I found them on the street, so I have to take whatever I find. And at least they are a little different".

My sister left in a boat, I waved at them a long time, until they got out of sight. Strange detail: I saw my sis was waving back to the coastline, while I was somewhere halfway on the sea. So she didn't wave directly at me. I got closer and closer to them, as if I was zooming in with a camera, till they noticed me.

Back to the house... I was in the stables, preparing something for the horses I guess. A man came to me and started talking about a sick horse that died, while the doctors had said it could be saved (or was it the other way round?)
He showed me a live video, that was made with a hidden camera. As usual, when I see a video in a dream, I'm really IN the scene.

Two young, female doctors were talking about a horse, while they were performing surgery on it (the horse was more like a skeleton, cause they were half inside it). The doctor's voices were altered and they were wearing blue, skinned horseheads as masks! The one with the big mask bent forward with her whole head inside the horse they were operating. Quite terrifying you'd think, but I wasn't afraid. She said the horse never had a chance to survive. A sentence that proved they, or other doctors had been lying to us

Then, the maskes were handed to us and we had to dispose of the big one (the small one was thrown back at them). It felt icky and I wanted to get rid of it asap. Back in the stables, there was a lot of rubbish, so I could put it in a large bag, together with some other dirty trash.


could I dream all that in just 40 minutes? I woke up, feeling I had a whole day behind me. That's an effective use of time Rest of the night passed a lot faster

Teaching a chav to behave
I was in an exhibition garden with a lot of people, all walking to the same spot. The garden was very trendy and in French style (symmetric, straight paths). In small coves (?) there were tables with glasses, some filled with wine. A trashy lady behind us was taking these glasses, with the intention of taking them home. I was bothered by this and said "These belong to the exhibition, you can't take them.", but she didn't want to listen and got mad at me. I picked up a glass of wine and threw it at her. That made her even more mad! I quickly went to the destination point, where all people had gathered.

After a little while, this woman appeared, she was holding a glass of red wine. I was wearing white trousers and really didn't want them to get spoiled. So I sneaked up to her, pushed her arm and the wine fell out. Instead of going all crazy and start fighting with me, she was sad. She sat against the wall and I started explaining her about not stealing other people's items. I think she understood, cause she started sobbing at my shoulder like a little kid.

The puke slide
Don't know where this fitted in, maybe just after the wine-incident.
I was on top of a big slide, with 5 or 6 lanes next to each other (like in a waterpark, where you have these big slides with separated lanes). In the lane next to me, was a drunk guy. He looked like he was going to throw up every moment, so I crawled away from his side. 2 other drunk guys came in, they made harassing remarks toward me and then started to puke on the slide. Yuck!

Boyfriend going on horse competition
Funny fragment: my boyfriend had to do an exam in horseriding and had a paper with the tasks. We had a long discussion about the grading for these tasks, that was about decimals and the score you could get on each task.

Wahahaha. I was hoping maybe you would be sliding in it, but it was still funny!

LOL, I knew you would enjoy that part
Nah, I didn't feel really sorry for her. More like satisfied that she saw she was wrong and will now change her life

It's interesting, how sometimes these weird situations have great impact on your emotions, while another time, you look at the most horrifying scene without feeling anything.

you have disgusting ideas No, I really have puke-phobia, so I was trying to get away from it as far as possible

Dreams on 15 februari 2008

One wedding and one funeral (and the unquenchable thirst)

Walking in the forest, on a soft sand road. I was drinking cola and shared my bottle with my boyfriend. We arrived a at a T crossing. Several people were there, mostly strangers. They looked sad. I asked what was wrong and they told me it was a funeral for a girl. I kept asking people about this girl, but at the same time felt a bit ashamed that we were at the funeral uninvited.

Walking in the forest again, I was really thirsty. I switched from cola to water, thinking it was the cola that made me more thirsty. But even water didn't work. I drank 4 bottles of it and still felt thirsty. A woman pretending to be my mother told me it was very unhealthy to drink so much. 1 glass in 3 hours ought to be enough. But I was soooo thirsty, I just HAD to drink.
Then I found a phone-number you could call for water. It was 0800-8442. (tried it, doesn't exist IRL)

We came at another T crossing, this time there was a wedding going on. I sat on a bench, next to a guy with short hair, painted in red, orange an yellow shades. I really liked this and I fancied the guy. I stroke him on his head, which he liked. Later, we went dancing, but he totally sucked at dancing (well, so do I ) but still, it felt very good to be with him. Too bad we didn't kiss (he was like this dream-guy who often appears as my ex and makes me feel )

-fragment in between- I looked on a map and saw a bike path far away from our path, had a discussion with this mother-figure about the bikers nearby. When I looked on the map again, the colors of the paths had changed from black to red and the bike path was next to our trail all the way. Remember: RC when things suddenly change!!

Women can't drive

I was driving my car and using my cellphone at the same time. I got a little off the road and tried to steer back, but it didn't work and my car rode off the 'dike' into a ditch with high grass in it. It got stuck and I called my BF to help me out.

PDP: I was driving on the dikes the day before yesterday and several times wondered what happened to your car if you would get off the road (on the dry side). Well, now I know


Lesson on dream-report - fragment

I was in a school-like situation, in a class about dreams. We were being taught how to report our dreams. I thought I was already an expert on this, cause I knew how to make titles for your dreams, while others still only wrote a date above them

Originally Posted by Sara

that part with the funeral is a shame

still I laughed at the water thing....lol I have been so obsessed with vampires lately thats all I could think of when you said unquenchable thirst

aww you found a nice guy in you dream thats always good to hear. Its great cos you still liked him after you found out he couldnt dance lol

Haha, so now I can say I know how these vampires feel

aww you found a nice guy in you dream thats always good to hear. Its great cos you still liked him after you found out he couldnt dance lol

Oh, I love these dreams... they're very emotional, but in a positive way.

no comment..... I dont want to get into trouble! ha ha

he he I would say you are a expert, I think dreams with titles are always better

Hehe, in my dream world, I'm my own expert
But I think Bu is the real expert on dream titles, the way he misleads us with teasing titles

Oops, no dreams in here for 3 days. Time to catch up a little...

Dreams on 16 februari 2008

A night full of war! Frightening pieces in purple
And most details lost due to not writing anything...

Video on the walkman and massive explosion

I was with a small group of people, sitting close to eachother on 1 bench (more then would fit, like 7 people on 1 bench, all cosy together). I had a walkman that could play a video on a small TV. It was not working very well.

I'm going to a storage building, to get something. Inside is more like an environment from Counterstrike. We are indoors, in a white, concrete building with openings, like windows and doors, but no glass/wood in them, just openings. I see people outside. The guy I'm with, tells me we now have a different supplier of ammo, so the colours have changed
I have a mine/grenade in my hand and throw it towards the door, but it bumps back against the wall and comes towards me.

I push it away, but again it comes back. It's like a boomerang grenade. I get very scared now, afraid it's going to explode near us. Then this guy pushes it, so it should get stuck behind a wall. I sit close to the wall and cover my ears when it explodes, so I don't get hurt. The explosion is enormous and really close to me. I see a greenish light spread all over the place and am sure everyone who didn't cover his ears is dead.


Medieval horsefight!

I'm at the training centre of Eddy (an instructor I don't like) and brought my horse. I can join the course for free, if I take my horse out of the paddock asap. But I think the relation with my horse is more important than the exercises. My horse comes towards me and puts his head on my shoulder. We stand there, enjoying this moment, I feel one with my horse.

Nasty kids are running around there. I try to teach them a lesson, but it doesn't work. Then hundreds of small animals escape from my horses paddock and I blame the nasty little girl that was with me.

I'm inside with Eddy and 2 girls, talking about horses. Just when I start to have a nice conversation with him, 3 people arrive on horseback. I recognise them as some of my vague horsefriends and wonder why they have become friends with Eddy

I want to go outside, but can't find my shoes. *again!* Desperately trying to find a matching pair, I finally put on 2 ugly shoes from Eddy. But when I'm ready, 2 people show me it's dangerous outside. It's like we are hiding and outside people are looking for us. I think it's not that big a deal and they'll never spot me, but I was not careful enough. High on a building is a big, black crow-like creature that spotted me. I freeze and fear for my life. Then I see a girl crawling from underneath a wooden fence and take this escape to the other side. Then I'm on horseback, on a huge field with red men on horses. There are thousands of them, like in an old war scene. I urge my horse to run through them and yell "attack the blacks on the other side!!!"

Mark and the little chicks
In a classroom, next to the window, I spot a nest. First it's empty, but when I look a second time, it's filled with little brown and yellow chicks. I say 'they are too early for eastern'. The window is open and I'm afraid they'll fall out, but then the ground is only 10 centimetres below the window.

I turn around and walk to the corner, which is now the dairy department of a shop. An announcer says 'new: vampire cheese'. COOL, I think, Mark would love that! So I take a package of Vampire cheese and show it to Mark (who suddenly appeared). But he doesn't seem interested at all I'm disappointed about that.
I assumed the cheese would have the shape of a vampire, but instead, it's a rather big cardboard box with an explanation of the vampire diet for a whole week (with all meals and such).

Dreams on 17 February 2008

Lots of dreams, but I forgot them all :'(
That's my punishment for not writing down anything

Dreams on 18 February 2008

Tried to WILD and had some nice HI about creating myself an environment for flying practice. A bit like the matrix, with a blank environment, creating the images around it to overcome my fear of heights and falling. I felt that I was almost entering a dream, but my boyfriend was coughing all the time, so he kept me from getting into the dream

Skate boarding - fragment
I was doing some small tricks on a skate board. I wasn't really good, but at least I didn't fall. A kid came by, who had a skate board twice as wide (bigger plate to stand on). I tried this board as well, but it was way to heavy to flip over.

Haha, I don't know how I did these tricks, like making the board spin a full circle, but it felt cool

Non-closing door - fragment
In my parents house, we have a wooden panel in front of the doors that only open in summer. Somehow, these were broken in the centre and a friend of mine went through them, which surprised me.

Hmm, not very interesting fragments. Tonight I'll sleep alone, so I hope to continue my WILD practise

Love the vampire diet

Know what you mean about "not very interesting fragments" as I've had a night of those myself. Perhaps tonight will be different.

Cool, Skate-boarding. Sounds kinda familiar. That stuff is fun in dreams huh?

I liked how the horse put it's head on your shoulder. There really is something about dream horses.

Came across an interesting tidbit the other day. University of Wageningen holds a Guinness World Record for eating insects. There was an insect eating day in September of 2006 (I think). Did you have anything to do with that?

I also read that Dutch people are the tallest in the world on average.
