Dream Journal, as told by Blargh

[Blargh]

First a little bit about me. I used to post and hang around in chat here every now and then I think late last year and maybe early this year, but then I stopped for some reason. I held a dream journal somewhere else back then too but I stopped that as well. I think this was because I started to lose my motivation, and while I was enjoying remembering my dreams I seemed to be steadily remembering 2-3 per night (but not anymore) without the DJ anyway so that probably contributed to my stopping. As far as lucids go, I've had a couple of short ones but I feel I can do a lot better if I put some more effort into it. And lately I've decided to pick it back up again. So yeah, it's about 12:30pm (or is it am? either way just after midnight) and I'm about to head to bed so I thought I'd start up the old journal again and see where it takes me. Comments are appreciated if there are readers. That's about it. Welcome to my journal! EDIT: Occurred to me last night that one reason I stopped with the DJ is school started again and it'd hard to get out of bed until I really need to Also, any lucids I may have will be in a nice shade of red.

Train ride of...not very nice First thing I remember is my friend telling me we have to die. We headed over to the tennis courts where a bunch of people who were also going to die lined up. My friend and I were scared but at the same time kinda excited. Everyone looked about 16-20 in age and they were everyday people you'd see on the street. There was one man with a gun who was doing the executions. He shot a few people who died instantly and then told the rest of us to follow him. We did so and followed to a train. He got on, and the rest of us sorta held onto the side. The next part sorta happened like, the guy would tell us to do something, while this train was in motion and we were hanging on to the side somehow, and the last person to do it would be killed. He set a few tasks that took about 20 seconds to do and a few people died, I don't remember what they were but there was about three of them and they were all different. Then he told us to put our heads underwater and the first person to come up for air would die. We did so (apparently the train is half underwater now so we could still hang onto the sides). After a few seconds I heard a gunshot and knew I could come back up for air, even though I was doing fine underwater, being able to do stuff like that in dreams and all. Next he said to get something, not sure what it was. I went down and took a wheel off the train (it's still moving quite fast) but it wasn't what he wheel. So I was the loser and he told me to stand still. He shot me in the left side of the head but I didn't die. I felt it, but it didn't hurt and I just fine. I think I yelled at him "I'M NOT DEAD", then he just ignored me so I fled. I ran for a while then I came across a small gazebo where there were a couple of guys my age. They told me to flee from the place because they were being held as slaves, but it was too late. Some really big guys were coming towards us and that's all I remember.

Didn't get to this until kinda late today, had to leave quickly for school in the morning. Australian Idle I was in the city with Mum and trying to hurry her up because we were missing Australian Idol (which in real life I hate). She was lingering in some shop because she was amused by the name. Oh and Idol had a twist to it, they were looking for the worst performances, although I saw a couple and they were OK. No-one else thought so. Dusty Road of lacking a decent name I was with a few friends and we were trekking down a dirt road eating ice-cream. I remember gutsing down mine really fast as I tend to do. Then we arrived at the entrance to the place we were trying to get to, a small theme park or something. Then I picked up one of the girls and carried her around for a bit for some reason. Everyone laughs. The end.

Awesome Tag I was sitting under a kinda big tarp and this really big guy is talking about accountability. Then he says we're gonna play a game of tag. I run and think I've found a good spot to hide but get found right away. Then in my quest to fine other people I appear to have a little spider which would find people for me and attack them, and I thought that was really cool. I walked around, spider bit some people, the end.

[Blargh]

Classroom, indoor soccer and knives I was sitting in class and my friend who was sitting next to me was playing with a switch blade. He stabbed a few people in the neck but when he pulled it out they were alright. But then he stabbed one chick and she fell face first into the floor and died, and the whole class went apeshit. I don't remember how but a few other people died, one was this new girl at school but she had a different name in my dream, Brianna I think. Anyway the teacher managed to calm everyone down. Then he started singing, and afterwards told everyone the first person to tell him the song name and artist would win. I hadn't heard it before but it sounded like something by The Cat Empire, and when I asked him he got excited. Then one guy came and asked if it was "123 by 123456" and Mr Gatti said yes. So that made little sense. Next I find myself playing indoor soccer with a whole lot of people and I'm trying to tell people that something really weird happened to me in the classroom. Apparently I keep switching bodies with the people who got killed, "Brianna" and another dude. When I looked in the mirror though, I was still me although I had a crap load of pimples. Oh and I just remembered now, I think I was nearly lucid! I tried sticking my hand though the wall, my other hand, and a few things to check but everything was normal, so I guess I lost interest or something and went back to normal dreaming. Note: I find it strange that in this dream all the characters were people I knew, that's pretty uncommon for me especially for ALL the DCs to be actual people. Reality TV I'm watching tv or something, and I'm watching these 5 guys about 14 years old running around a house with booze in their hands. They here one of the boy's mum coming home so they try to run but they just run into the kid's dad. They're in trouble or something.

Jerry Springer gets even worse Mum drives home, says we're going on holiday somewhere for a while. I decide to go out into the backyard, and I see they're filming Jerry Springer there! I hide in a corner to see what's going on, but soon enough a security guard comes up to me and tells me if I didn't pay to be there I'd have to leave. As I do so, I linger around the backyard sort of seperate from the show, and contemplate aloud things about God and Jesus (I'm not actually religious). Soon a man with a black cape comes running towards me holding out a book which is obviously something to do with christianity and I run indoors, but leave the door open. I watch him with curiousity and listen to what he's saying, but I hold one hand on the door to slam it shut if he tries to attack me. Soon a woman joins him with a different book and saying the same kinds of things. One book had "20" on the cover in a big font and the other "21". There was other writing but I don't remember it. Then they do come towards me so I slide the door shut on the man's outstretchd arm. When I go inside It's all over the press that the two books are wrong or something and I've discovered the truth. Then I get woken up.

[Blargh]

Lucid! Woo! And best one I've had First thing I remember is I'm lying in a tent with two other people. Ones a woman about 20 years old and I think the other was a kid. They're talking about something, and there's a radio playing. I try to turn it off but it still plays. I unplug it (from what I don't know) and it still plays. This tips me off that this could be a dream so I reality check and yes! I'm dreaming! I leave the tent and end up in my house. I go into my backyard and launch myself off the ground and fly away to find something cool to do. Dodging power lines as I go, I make my way to a busy street where I stand in the middle of traffic and hijack some cars. It's not as satisfying as I thought it would be, it's sorta like I'm watching myself do it from above, like in GTA. I start driving away somewhere but lose interesting. Then I wake up. False awakening! And I recognize it! I'm in my bed this time. I try walking through a wall to get out of the house, but sadly that doesn't work. So I open the bedroom door. There is a sign saying LEFT: BARCELONA and RIGHT: CAIRO. I walk straight ahead cause I just want to walk out into the street I decide it would be a good idea to break into some people's houses and see what I can find. First house, I overhear my family talking to a man. He says: "Alex (that's me) will have to choose if he wants to save his family or kill me!". I decide I don't wanna see my family right now so I move on to the next house. I think I might have lost lucidity about this point too. I kick the door in and a 40ish year old man walks out. And there's a door to the left of the one I just kicked in, and my family and the man they were talking to walk out. I beat the hell out of the guy with my family, he doesn't put up a fight though. I walk into the house on the right (the one I just kicked in). It's strangely familiar. There's a weedy looking guy and he tells me the 40ish year old man is gonna move in with us. Apparently I intended on living there. I hadn't told me family yet so to avoid awkwardness I leave. Next house. I walk inside, and the floor is CRAWLING wish insects. There is a woman inside probably in her 20s, possibly the same one from the tent. She's quite distressed. I pick up a glass of wine and pour it on the insects for some reason. Then we go into the hallway and I see a hairy leg sticking out of a room. I throw the rest of the wine at the leg and it retreats back. Then my whole view sort of zooms out and I realize it's all just a movie that the woman was so distressed about. She's saying to this guy who's on the couch "why do you have to watch this movie you know I hate it!". The man says "relax. just talk about me" So she does and that's the end of what I remember. Phew!

Been a while since I've posted here. Just one right now. Starts off I'm sitting at home, but I'm about to leave because I have to do something with the guys off Top Gear. No idea how I was associated with them but anyway I go off to do whatever it is I'm doing. I end up in a big spooky mansion with some completely unrelated people, one other guy and two girls, I think I may have been dating one of the girls. Anyway I remember at one point there's a bit of an obstacle, and I tell everyone to be careful and not step on a certain part of the floor. The last girl (not my girlfriend) decides to be an ass and stand right on it on purpose, but we manage to pull her out before she sinks into the ground. A few more things happen I think then I find myself away from them and standing about 20m away from a really creepy looking woman in a mask. We're in a big hallway and she's holding a knife. I run towards her and duck to the side at the last second, then keep running forward trying to find a way out. I come up to a man wearing a mask and holding a knife in a similar fashion but I use the same technique to get past him, then I duck around a corner. I find myself in a room full of Nelsons from The Simpsons, so I jump on their heads trying to get to the door out of there. When I get out, my Dad is waiting for me to take me home in the car, and we leave as if nothing had happened.

Lucid last night I think, but I don't remember much and haven't had a chance to write it down until just now (4:51pm) I remember becoming lucid by doing a reality check, blocking my nose and trying to breathe through it. I was at home, I think in my room. The blinds were open, so I left the room by walking through the (solid) window. I remember trying to create fire in my hands because I always thought it would be cool, but failing. Not sure what else happened, but I think after I lost lucidity I was playing cards with mum. Gah, I need to get my dream recall back.

[Blargh]

Kinda disappointed I didn't remember anything today, because I was thinking about dreaming and telling myself I would remember them all day. I thought I should put an entry in anyway.

[Blargh]

I remember a dream had something to do with my head of house at school, but that's it. I was so close to remembering a whole lot more about 5 minutes ago but I lost it. Gah.

[Blargh]

Aww yeah, it's coming back. Gogo gadget dream recall. 1. Someone is 600 years old. I don't remember who at all, it may have been me. 2. I'm at work, and so is a friend of mine who isn't usually there. We need something from her urgently but she's acting really stupid like she's 5 years old or something and won't give it to us. So we get someone to switch bodies with her (yes, like she's in someone else's body now) and the person now in her body gives it to us. Hooray for thinking outside the box. 3. There's about 6 of us. We're running up these really big and colourful stairs, but it's almost like were doing it for a game, and the building that we're in was built solely for this purpose. some people get upset when they get somewhat behind, but I think with good reason because something nasty happens if we get too separated. Then we get to the 6th floor (may have been 6th from top or bottom, I just knew it was number 6 somehow) and we all lie down and take a rest. Then some Asian tourists walk by quite calmly.

1. I'm in a car park in a really nice Mercedes, and I see my friend's older brother. He tells me the thing I did really freaked her mother out and I was pretty surprised about that and I'm not sure what the thing was. Anyway my friend and her brother get in the car and drive off, so I go back to my car and start to leave. I get halfway out the driveway somehow and realize I'm sitting in the back seat so I get out and go around to the drivers seat, when a police woman tells me I'm illegally parked. I explain myself and I think she leaves. Something else I just remembered, I kept waking up a lot last night, sitting upright in my bed like when those people have nightmares in the movies, but I don't remember any nightmares and the annoying thing is I'm always really tired so I don't think about doing something to change the routine of waking up every hour or so and just lie awkwardly in bed. This doesn't happen too often, though... EDIT: Something else I just remembered, sometimes I would think I'm at work in the back room which is about the same size as my bedroom, and my boss would walk in a doorway, but then I'd wake up and sit up in bed to talk to him, and it would be really weird cause I'm in my room talking to a solid wall. I hate nights like that...
