SKA's sickening dreams.

[SKA]

So I finally decided to start a DJ here afterall. My DreamRecall has significantly increased and tonight's dreams were amazing so I figured today would be a good start. Bold = Start of new "subdream" Blue = Lucid or lucid-ish Red = DreamSign Green = Reoccuring Dreamsituation/scene/Character Allright tonight's dreams were rather disturbing at first and beautyfull later; First dream of the night I remember was me walking outside somewhere. There was a tent and a rug. On the rug sat an old lady. She was a gipsy clearvoyant/witch. I passed the rag and noticed something small and yellow moving around the rug. I looked closer and saw it was a yellow-transparant scorpion; the most poisonous species of scorpions. I got freaked out and yelled at some others passing by: "Watch out Scorpion!" I told the witch that her scorpion had escaped, but she seemed little impressed. She was almost completely covered in an earth-color cloak and only her face was partially visable. She was sitting in Lotus-posture and a strange yellow light shone from within her cloak. There was a gigantic spider in that cloak together with her; it's legs about as long as my lower arm. I put my hands in hers and held them. That felt good. You know when you hold someone's hand and it feels warm, loving and caring? Some ppl have that. The hidious witch had that too and I put my hand's in her's and layed down on her lap. Then she turned evil on me. I was still lying there but I could feel her intentions turn malicious. I couldn't move and I looked into her cloak next to her face and the gigantic spider came closer to me and I was deadsure it was going to eat me. ---Here I awoke very briefly by my alarmclock at 12 o' clock, Realised it was a dream, thought: "I'm gunna go straight back there, lucid and smoke a spliff with that witchlady" and closed my eyes again---- So I fell back asleep and I don't quite know where I ended up, but soon I remember dreaming amazing dreams again. I was at sea, feeling like a cast away cuz I had no ship. I had walked ashore on some Island. It was pretty hard since the shore wasn't a sandy shore, but a shore consisting of millions of razorsharp pebbles and stones. They really hurt my feet. I used a stick as walking cane to get ashore uncut by the stone. I got there and it was a very green, grassy and tropical Island, with little sunlight comming through the leafs of high, dense trees. I tried to find my way to god knows where I was just finding a way. I managed to trot to another neighboring Island which had beautyfull exotic flowers and was yet another tone darker. I somehow suddenly noticed that I was in the company of 2 other men. We were both finding "our way" to somewhere and we travelled by foor to another island again over the razorsharp rocks. This 3d Island we found ourselves on was still darker and seemed more like a european forrest. We walked through the forrest and ran across a school building right next to the trees. The building was old, and behind it was a neighborhood that looked like it was a 17th century Dutch town. We were still at the forrest-side of the school building and for some reason we thought it was highly nececairy to smash the windows. I had an axe and the other 2 men had big hammers. We smashed the windows and I smashed one with a chop of the axe. One man said that was a fine hit. We went around the corner of the schoolbuilding and found ourselves on a street in this 17th century Dutch town. It looked pretty much like the Efteling, which is a fearytale-like themepark in The Netherlands. We suddenly felt rushed because we figured people would call police/authorities on us for attacking the school. I tried to fly away from there but was strangely unable to do more than slowly float around a bit helplessly. I picked up on this DreamSign and thought: Rediculous! It's my dream of COURSE I can fly. And so I flew away and slowly came to the sudden realisation: "hey I'm dreaming" but not much later I lost recollection of this moment. I went to smoke a spliff with 2 of my friends that often smoke alot of them. The next memory is rather scrambled up. Then I remember going mentally haywire and my mom taking me to some kind of mental institution for medication. I got the new medication which were very tiny white pills and took them straight away as I was told. I felt sooo drugged up, intoxicated and inebriated that I thought: "I might be able to sell this to someone" and I ended up putting some pills in a spare pot. I have a faint recollection of my Father's presence in the Dream. And also of some guy showing me some white object, like a milestone or something, that said 1875; which seems to back up the "17th century colonial dutch island" story somewhat. ----Then I awoke and asked my mom to type after I said to her what I dreamt: this way my barely remembered dreams didn't fade away before I recorded them ----

.The hidious witch had that too and I put my hand's in her's and layed down on her lap. Then she turned evil on me. I was still lying there but I could feel her intentions turn malicious. I couldn't move and I looked into her cloak next to her face and the gigantic spider came closer to me and I was deadsure it was going to eat me. Sounds like the flowers spirit to me. Ive heard she can be bipolar in a way. She can turn on you in a second and thats why its so dangerous. Those are some cool dreams though.

[EmilySian]

oo that's pretty scary, the old lady thing.

[SKA]

Yeah it has been my most disturbing dream in many many years. Tonight I didn't get any sleep. so I didn't dream either. I'm affraid coffee was to blame But also I feel a little hexed and I'm deadsure it's the flower-lady's spirit being wrathfull on me. I felt quite cursed tonight and in her grip. And it's not often that I am so deadserious about a plant's spirit. She has gotten her message across very clearly.

[SKA]

I really had a hard time remembering my dreams cuz I woke up and immediately called a friend of mine. I had a hard time even in remembering in the brief time before that. However the memory of the dream is very close to me, yet I can't put it into words so I could understand what it was. I do recall ALOT of avtivity and alot of people in my dreams. he bad recall was most certainly to balm on 2 things: The fact that I couldn't and didn't sleep the night before last night and the fact that I've smoked MArijuana again for the first time in about a week or so. I'm going to smoke up my bag and when I stop smoking again for some time my DreamRecall and vividness will boost up increadibly. It always does.

[a dude]

I'll try the REM-rebound thing too.

[SKA]

Yeah actually the Marijuana REM-rebound method I use lately works very well. I think that soon I will write a Tutorial on Marijuana and Dreaming. What's best for the pelasure of smoking weed AND for dreaming. Whenever you are going to try anything dreamenhancing, like dreamherbs, supplements or low doses of psychedelics, the best thing to do before hand is make sure that you get enough sleep and are overall wellrested. Also make sure that at least a week ago you stopped smoking joints or drinking alcohol; This will make the depressant effect of Marijuana or Alcohol completely go away. Also stay away from heavy painkillers, sleepmedications or other relaxants since they usually prolong the supressing buzz. Once your mind is completely free of any residing buzzes your REMsleep will become very intense and in this period of enhanced dreaming Vividness is highest, perception is clearest and recall is best. I still have some african dreamherb. I might Infuse a Tea out of the Dreamherb and The Flower, but I will first smoke up my weed and wait untill my REM starts rebounding. Then I will attempt this. And maybe with that Tea I will also take some Vitamin B-complex pills to enhance clearity and recall. Dude, you are cool to experiment with. Let me know about your experiments and feel free to do you own entheogen/herbal-related experiments and share the results here.

[a dude]

totally man, Ill keep you informed on all my experiments. I havnt seen much people who also have an interest in psychedelics. Im just going to finish up all my bud in the next couple days and see if i have a REM rebound. Id like to help research the effects of marijuana on dreaming too, it seems like a kickass subject. Lately ive been going to sleep high and I can remember my dreams but only in small sections. I noticed the marijuana dreams were mellow and quiet unlike the crazy, fast paced dreams I usually have. Blaze it

[SKA]

Yeah man. We are going there were not many are going: Exploring the effects of Marijuana and psychedelics and combinations therefo on dreaming. I'm sure soon we'll find the perfect DreamPotentiating Combination/Mixture. The nights of Thursday-Friday, and Friday-Saturday I can hardily remember any dreams. Friday morning I awoke at a party I had crashed the night before. I smoked Marijuana there. Friday night I was up very late Recording music in a Studio of my friend. We smoked quite alot of joints together ( Musicians ). I slept at my friend's house, very deep, and hardily recalled any dreams. Today I've been smoking Marijuana and I'm just about to smoke my last joint of it. After this last spliff I will stop for as long is needed to see my REM-sleep experience the Rebound effect.

[a dude]

I got blazed out by one of my friends this morning and I blazed with another friend this afternoon. Im going to stop now and wait for the rebound.

[The Cusp]

Thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to experiment with taking small amounts of mushrooms before bed.

[SKA]

Thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to experiment with taking small amounts of mushrooms before bed. Then you should defenitely check my Topic "Sleeping on low doses of Psychedelics" in the Lucid Aids-subforum. I woke up again without any dreamrecall. Well to say my dreamrecall is 0 would be a lie too. It's like only the Abstract memories linger; far too abstract to be able to tell what it was I exactly dreamt allthough the feeling and (too) brief glimpses of the dream came back to me uppon awakening and throughout the day today. Soon, very soon, my REM-sleep will rebound and I will surely have lots of crazy dreams to tell. Especially when I will continue my experimentation The Witchflower as my sinister ally in vivid, probably terrifying, dreaming along with other helpfull entheogens. First I'll wait for my REM-rebound and then I will get straight to it. I've got plenty of dried witchflowers left so soon I will make a very potent entheogenic/oneirogenic brew in a 1 liter bottle using witchflower, mushrooms, Wormwood and African Dreamherb(Silene Capensis). I shall make it so potent, carefully measuring out the ingredients, so that one shotglass of it should be enough for mild to moderate effects. Once my REM-rebound is here I will try this.

[SKA]

Allright last night my REM-rebound started to show up. I had some very very interresting dreams, all highly conscious, and one of them was NEARLY lucid. The strangest was the bizarre visit of the Old Hag. I went to sleep at around 5 in the morning. May have laid awake for some 30 minutes or so. I drift closer and closer towards sleep yet don't notice feeling very dissociated: I am still very aware of lying in my bed trying to fall asleep when I suddenly feel as if I was Grasped by an eerie presence and felt Paralysed and surpressed as if I was being gripped thoroughly by every cell in my body and I can't move or breathe. And specifically a presence felt behind me at the side of my bed. At first this feeling is gentle and only minorly unnerving. I knew it was Old Hag and a good sign I was about to enter dreamstates. Still I impuslively react by trying to "attack" this force somehow. Since I was paralysed I somehow kind of " Spiritually attacked" this Presence by spiritually revealing myself to it and casting myself into it. I actually "saw"this in a very strange manner as "me" charging into the being at the side of my bed. This being was invisible, yet I still "saw" it standing next to my bed and charged straight into it. This presence was no weakling, because immediately, as if a in retalliation of my defensive attack, I feel it's grip tighten around me incredibly and it becomes very very intense. I suddenly feel as if I had been picked up by a 300km/hour tornado and was being hurled across the sky. I finally managed to physically overcome it's grip and awoke physically in my bed gasping for air. I went back to sleep and not long after I became overcome and gripped again. This time I responded fearless, but inspite of my effort the grip caused me to gasp for air as a primordial instict: You can't stay underwater and drown yourself either, even if you wanted to. It was pretty much like that. I tried to continue falling asleep, but still felt very much awake and aware of my physical enviroment as I lay there. Suddenly, as if the transition was just completely unnoticable and seamless I dream: I am in my computerroom, here, on the ground and I find a bag of licourice. I thought: Hmm it must be my mom's since she's a licourice junkie. I open it up and inside there's lots of tasty licourice and I put some in my mouth. And right then I think: "DANG! i had just brushed my teeth. Guess I did that for nothing now" Because I had actually brushed my teeth not too long ago in waking life right before going to bed. Then a new dream had formed and this Time I was in my room. because I had just fallen asleep in my room, I experienced it like I had just given up trying to fall asleep and got up from bed to wander in my room. Incredible: There was just no "gap" between my last memory of being awake and the first second of the dream I was now in. I noticed something very strange right away. I have one pivoted wall in my room. I looked at one corner of my room where one sidewall and the pivoted wall meet: This somehow was very strangely flattened. As if these 2 walls had merged into 1 2D plane. I immediately knew something stank and turned around to do an RC. As I was walking across the room, to try and see if I could stick my hand through the wall across the room, I noticed my head was constantly twitching and twisting to the rigth and I felt as if I had stayed up and drank 6 cups of coffee in the last 10 minutes: Completely twitching and contracting. It seemed to almost disable me to perform my RC, but I allready knew I dreamt and perceviered. I was ALMOST in arms range of the wall when I suddenly woke up. Allthough I JUST missed Lucidity by an inch this time I am very glad to see I'm on the right track again

Poor memory of my dreams this morning; The doorbel woke me up. I have a faint recollection of some opressing, authoritairian fascist police force or single cop being the personification of the Dominator/Solar- culture and opressing me to the point of utmost frustration and fear. Also I have a faint memory of panic and excrusiating physical pain. Too bad that's about it. Maybe next time I will awaken smoothly, without a hush. Sudden, stressfull awakenings kill dream recall when you're not immediately awakening from a dream but have some deeper slumber after the last dream. Maybe the memories will come back to me throughout the day. The feeling of it still is very present.

[SKA]

Another REM-rebound showed up. I've been to a Ska Festival this weekeind and smoked a humble amount of Cannabis while watching The Skatalites play live. Off course I did Anywayz tonights dreams were very strange and clear, allthough I only remember the last dream, but in great detail. Dream: I was at a strange metro station that was indoors with lots of stairs and fences. I was with a friend of mine, Lex, from waking life and his mom showed up to pick us up so we wouldn't have to travel home further by metro. Suddenly we (Me, the friend and his mom) were walking through some field that was behind the last row of houses of a neighborhood and the sky and green grass below looked beautyfull. Dream-beautyfull. We were walking this place and I recognised it from another dream where I would visit a friend living in that neighborhood. We continued walking down a path across the field and suddenly stumbled uppon a sideway path comming from the forrest to the left of us and joining into the straight path we were walking. a crossmotorbiker came biking towards and passed us from that road. My friend said it was " The path of the Enemy" :S??? He meant the sidewards path that joined our path from the left. We continued walking untill there was a pond at the leftside of the path. My friend's mom put down a picknick plaid and we settled there. There was a HUGE bottle of fruitjuice and it was soft like an inflatable bottle. It was certainly 2 meters high and I had to half-climb the thing to drink from it. Suddenly my friend was no longer in the picture and some Father-figure was there instead. So I was there with the random mom and dad I didn't know. I fell into the water and underwater I caught a glimpse of a swirling, huge octopus. I paniced to get out of the water and my random dad tossed strange black mats with white letter-words on them into the water to distract the octopus. I got out the other side of the water, but my random dad got pulled into the water by the Octopus and I just laughed Very strange. o_Õ

[SKA]

Walking on a trainstation-like elevated road with a bansihter to my right. The road being perhaps some 4 meters wide and 10 meters above groundlevel. To my left the same and a bit further down the road an elevator down to the left side of me. I passed an adorable, beautyfull turkish girl who said something along the lines "you should parachute out of a plane over turkey" being a reference to waking life. I turned around, grabed her gently by the chin, looked her in the eyes and kissed her. She proceeded towards the elevator and I followed her. Went inside the elevator and stood behind her. Carressed her gently and kissed her in the neck as the elevator doors closed. Woke up feeling blissed and peacefull.

[SKA]

Hazy memory lead me to believe I entered a dream lucid: I was in my block amongst the trees at nighttime and thought of Time-Dilation which I had discussed that same night before falling asleep with Volcon over MSN. I had no idea how it was done but gave it a humble try anyways> I first decided a year, but later decided a month would be enough to test what effect it would have. I flew off into the night and from there my memory is quite hazy. It may come back to me later I believe I briefly awoke and lied perfectly still, trying to invoke the memory of the previous dream of nthe Turkish girl, and fell asleep shortly afterwards. I was either on my block or in some other public place and with a friend of a friend named Shido. There was this girl and a little boy(her brother?) that came running towards us and for some reason Shido wanted to run away from them so I joined him. Jesus! We ran miles and miles, way out of town, and the girl kept comming closer and as she nearly caught up with me, because running away from someone in dreams sometimes goes very slow, I did what helped before: I turned around and ran away from her backwards. Backwards logic works everytime in dreams Well me and Shido ended up still running on this broad, bumpy, sandy road that ran across a huge, wide plane-landscape and the girl got closer and closer. There was no fear, but we just wanted to stay ahead of her for some reason. Shido eventually gave up and stopped running. So did I and I dropped myself onto the ground. That's when I woke up

Okay I've decided I will no longer Keep my full DJ here. I have found a little paperblank book and a pen next to my bed to work better. What I WILL post in this topic are the Dreams that are worth sharing.

[The Cusp]

Awww, you sure you want to do that? Keeping it online makes it so much easier to keep track of. Either way, don't be a stranger to these boards. Edit: I just read why you're leaving, can't say I blame you.
