Siиdяed's Dream Journal Attack

None of these have been lucid, yet, because I'm not really trying just yet. When I get more time to devote my energies towards dreaming I'm definetly going to try going lucid, but for now I'm happy just to watch.

November 30 / December 01, 2007 - Moon on Fire

I'm aware the moon was on fire, there was a black silhoette of a man/figure type person that I could see (silhoetted against the moon's flames? I wasn't really paying attention).
There were characters from various television shows running around (Friends are the ones I remember most, weirdly), and then suddenly I was in a Victorian/Gothic nightmare house, all black and white colours, and running upstairs to a big window, where I could see the moon (when it wasn't on fire) and it was covered in silvery tubes and stuff, like a big alien city. Couldn't see people, just big silverfish (like the creepy insect) darting about, climbing on the silver tubes.
Remember running from something downstairs again, and then waking up.

Saturday morning, so I went back to sleep again and dreamt about smacking someone's head against a door (I'm so angsty :P), only there was no strength in my arms and it was really slow. Eventually managed to do it quicker and then woke up properly.


As with most of my dreams, it was all a bit mixed-up, and alot of things I didn't o much see as know, like the silverfish in the city were too small for me to see, I just knew they were there. And I couldn't see what I was running around from, but knew it was vaugely frog-like (waah for my subconscious). The highlighted words are the ones that stuck out most in my mind.

WOOOOOOO!! first reply for my mate Sindred! Yay!

This first one seems absolutely eerie my friend...the way you describe how the flames and figure were sillhoueted against the moon..that is kind of nightmarish, but in a way, beautiful. What an imagination..you got alot of imagery going when you describe the silvery tubes on the moons surface...your mind really formed a very detailed experience and world in this dream..

I know the feeling of being weak in a dream...very common. I often feel like i'm wading through water, or i'm clumsy and can't perform a task, hehe...i'm angsty too.

Oftentimes in dreams though you just know things are there..you don't even have to see them well...t'is the beauty of the dreaming mind...it's true.

Wow, good recall Sindred...I hope you keep it up as best you can..I look forward to reading more of these and travelling into your brain-noodles:P

Haha. Woo for being on mate terms with the main man bro. :P

Yeah, it's weird but in alot of the dreams I remember I'm fairly weak. Like, sometimes I get dreams where I can fly, but I can barely get off the ground without effort and I always crash into things. Or I'm in a battle and I absolutely suck at everything. Like getting really cool things and then being abysmal at them.

I'm guessing it's because I fail all. :content:

Cheers bro.

Haha..naw, you don't fail..I get that too..everyone does. I've had many a dream when humiliating myself by being clumsy/stumbling. I once tried to throw a basketball and fell over backwards crying...hehe..aw well, maybe next time you'll smack his head harder :P

Hehe..mates, I'd go to England just to say that with an accent and not look like an idiot :D :cheers:

December 01 / December 02, 2007 - Telekinetic PS2 Games

Bit more of a half-asleep in the morning dream, dreamt that an auntie visited (one I'm sure I don't really have :?) and brought two PlayStation 2 games, one Lord of the Rings and the other Star Wars. I remember being really buzzed about this and checking on them every now and again, because I was convinced it was all a dream and they weren't really there at all (not lucid, though).
At the same time (or before or afte, unsure) I was being chased by a dark figure and kept trying to throw him off with telekinesis powers, but they kept going wrong or being too clumsy and such (again :P).

Woke up in a blurry state of confusion as to whether I actually had gotten some new PS2 games (which I haven't in over four years or so) or as to whether I had been caught by some weird mysterious dark figure.

December 03 / December 04, 2007 - Old House

Very vivid dream, was walking around my old house with my dad (one before we moved), no lights on, spooky glow to the place, as I'm about to turn a corner there's a flash and there's a shadow on the wall, and I scream and run away, but I'm not running from what's casting the shadow, I'm running from the shadow itself. Didn't chase me, woke up quickly.

Might have been more, bit vague, but that bit stuck out vividly in my memory.

Ooooh. The "shadow" is a Jungian archetype which represents the person who is "not me" - i.e. everything we think is too unbearable to be in real life although we have the capacity to be any of those repressed constructs. And that's the scary thing - that we might and can if we choose to be that "shadow".

Perhaps the old house dates something in your personal narrative that was scary and repressed.

I like the Jungian artchetype idea since I was just wikiing it a few minutes ago. :P

Thanks, Burned, you've inspired me to further investigate.

Careful - it's addictive.

(And Jung's "shadow" doesn't mean shadow as in the bit the sun doesn't reach. But you're probably read that now. There's loads about archetypes on the web if you're interested)

December 08 / December 09, 2007 - Playin' On Your Video Games, Talkin' To Your Womens

Another video game related dream. I don't even play them that much. :?
Was playing a video game of some sort (only remember seeing the screen, not me, or the television or computer or controller or whatever). A shooter-type game with average graphics, I went really slow while all these bad guys were just shooting me. Killed about six very very slowly and then ran out of ammo.
Was then in some weird classroom (not one I know of) where I was talking to a girl about the internet. I think there was the Deathnote theme tune in the background.


I'm slightly bitter that I'm getting dreams about video games, which I don't play very often at all. Slightly more bitter that the first thing I do in a dream with a girl is decide to talk about internet while pumping out anime tunes. :(

Bah..don't be bitter. I haven't played video games in years and still get a huge amount of animated/video game dreams...your not alone...

I do have to admit though, I laughed..I'm in the midst of watching "Death Note" and hearing that it was playing while you talked to a girl about the internet was a bit silly:P..

I hope your dreams gain more variety and new material soon, if your not happy with these.

Know how you feel. I keep dreaming of trains and the last nice girl I met gave me a loaf of bread.

And like you with games, I don't use trains that much.

And like you with games, the trains I dream of aren't that modern.

Perhaps they mean the same sorts of things (escape?).

Burned Up and Bro tag-team my secret dream meaning once again. :P

Cheers, guys.

Haahahah...I'm sorry, I had to laugh, it's just so very true:oops: :D

December 09 / December 10, 2007 - Future Time

I was in a room all alone and I knew the world would end December 23, 2007. I don't know if I could get out of the room, I didn't try. Just sat and smiled to myself, because I wanted the world to burn. Spent the rest of the dream makin' out with an assortment of girls. Imminent apocalypse is a turn-on.


I don't think I really want the world to burn. Bit confused, but the make out premonitiony thing was cool.
Whee!

Hope you're wrong about that date - I have a few things I'd like to accomplish. Nice reaction to the news though. :) I wonder what the scientific "-philia" name is for being turned on by imminent apocalypse.

Apocophilia? Armageddoniphilia?

...sickiphilia?

December 15 / December 16, 2007 - Jesus vs. Superman

Weirdly vivid dream - still not lucid (I amen't trying :P) - set in some mock 1940s/futuristic English city, Superman was flying overhead blasting things with heat rays and Jesus was walking down the street making lightning bolts. I was watching from some high window as they met in the middle of the street and just started fighting. Jesus was all floating and zapping Superman, and Superman kept flying through things and hurling cars at Jesus.

It jumped about a bit and then I looked down and had an exam to do, which I was worried about (I have some exams coming up in January, go figure :)), and Hitler was watching me do my Physics paper (a subject I dropped last year). Woke up in a state of mild panic. I have a feeling Hitler lost my exam paper. :(

That dream had me laughing out loud, Siиdяed. Especially, for some reason the phrasing of, "Jesus was all floating and zapping Superman." Did you find out who won? I mean, c'mon, what's an exam compared to the fight of the century?

And I love the randomness of Hitler watching you do your work. Also, you might be interested to know that you got the banhammer in one of my recent dreams. Heh.

:shock:

Who me? Goodness.

December 22 / December 23, 2007 - Got Milk?

Was walking around a massive corner shop with my parents. They sent me off to get cereal, and there was a big shelf full of them by the counter. The shop-keeper guy was watching me, and I felt all self-conscious, and didn't want to look too wealthy rich-boy by going for an expensive cereal (Special K with Red Berries, there's nothing finer).
All the cereal boxes (which were all Special K, without red berries...which is...you know...) had been opened and then sellotaped back together.
Felt so self-conscious I just picked one in the end and took it back to my parents.


Woke up to a house utterly devoid of cereal. :(
