This post will be pretty long...
Catching up on all the dreams I can remember so I can work on my recall and yada yada yada...


Mom, there's a wolf in the cabinet.
This dream is the only dream I can remember exactly everything that happened, and I know I must've been really young at the time.

My mother and I had just got home from shopping, but my sister and father wasn't with us (I haven't a clue why.) We come into our double wide trailer from the kitchen door, and for some reason my attention goes directly to the cabinet. I stare for a few moments and then point, saying, "Mommy there's a wolf in the cabinet!" Getting very excited, (the wolf is my favorite animal, and always has been.) I run closer to the cabinet, but oddly enough I run right into the dining room and I fall through the vent in the floor. I look around and there are bunches of wild animals. Snakes, tigers, bears, and such. I look up and my mother is looking down at me, I reach my hands up and she's trying to help me out of the dark room under the vent, but she fails. I look back at the animals who are now all coming towards me. I wake up.


Train Station?
I'm with my mother and my sister, and we're standing under a bridge type structure, everything seems dark and grey. We're waiting for something, although I don't know what. I turn and look behind me. When I turn around my sister and mother are gone. I am scared. I wake up.


The Man Who Knows Me.
I wake up and go into my mother and fathers bedroom. There is a young man in there, maybe about 4 years older than I was at the time. I asked him who he was and he replied, "No, the question is, who are you." I was confused. This was my home. Not his. He then proceeded, "You are Lindsey _______ ________. You are ? years old. (and other things about me that are true are said. I cannot remember everything he told me that was about myself.) I looked at him in shock. How did he know me, I'd never seen him before in my life. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable, I'm not sure why. In my parents' bedroom there was a window on each side of the wall where their bed was against. I walk over the to the left of the room, and go to open the window. "Don't do that. Something bad will happen if you open that window." the young man says. I look at him as if he knows everything and I ask him what will happen. He doesn't respond. So I go to the other window, on the right, where he is standing and proceed to open that window instead. The dream flashes to us being outside in the yard. I notice what he looks like now. Taller, dark hair and eyes. Smooth skin and sort of pale looking. He was wearing a black hat.(I don't really know how to describe the hat, all I know is that it seemed French to me for some reason.) And he was playing a harmonica. He stopped playing and looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and waved and he walked down the rocky drive way and disappeared. I woke up.


Saving the World?
The scene as it was, was the parking lot in front of our apartment building, but in the dream, it was known as "Headquarters". There was a crack in "headquarters" or "the parking lot". And I had to save it by getting the crystals back from "insert some evil person here." I believe right about now into the dream I almost became lucid. I started throwing the crystals into the crack, as I'm saying to the other people who are dressed so beautifully I start waking up, "Come on we have to save it before it's too late."

I then wake up from my mother and sister shaking me as I'm laying on the top bunk in my shared room. They are looking at me as if I've gone mental. My mother then says, "You were throwing pennies at your sisters head."

Now that I'm older, I find that dream and what happened afterward pretty humorous.

The men on the back porch
I'm in the kitchen of our apartment, looking out the window into the very small backyard we have. There are three men. I instantly know they are breaking in. And when I think that, they all look at me. I wake up.


The most recent dreams I've had that I can remember. I had all of these dreams before I knew what LD's were.
Driving down the road.
I'm driving down a road that I'm familiar with in my city. I'm terrified and scared. I realize I'm driving and not old enough to yet. I realize it's a dream, and everything starts changing. I panic at the fact I'm driving. Everything gets blurry. I see that I'm about to run into another car, head on. I wake up.

I was the little girl.
This nightmare truly scared the living hell out of me.

I am on a computer. I look up from it and everything in the room is white. Everything. The walls. The computer and the computer screen. The tv, the bed. Except I realized that it was my old bedroom from our apartment. Just different. On the tv was static. I stand up and look out the window. I felt relief that outside wasn't all white. I notice a little girl, standing behind a small leafless tree. As if she were hiding, playing a game. She was short, had blonde hair and was wearing a white nightgown that was bloody. In a flash, she wasn't standing behind the tree anymore, and I could see her face. It was terrifying. She looked as if she had been in a car wreck, and that she was dead. In another flash she was walking up towards the window. I panic, and feel like I can't breathe. I try closing the window, but realize it's a different type of window. I have to slide it up for it to be closed. The little girl is getting closer and the window seems to be jammed. I give all my strength and I get the window closed just as the little girl gets right at the window, staring at me. I turn around so I can't see her anymore, and tell myself I HAVE to get out of this room. I walk into the hallway. It seems to be similar to the hallway of our old apartment. Except longer, narrower, and dark. I start walking down the hallway, feeling relief. I get about mid length down the hall, and walk past a mirror. I stop. And take two steps backwards, and look at the mirror. My reflection was the little girl. I woke up.


The continuous flying dream.
I've had this dream a lot.

Me and my mother and more people that I know are standing around. Everyones talking but I hear nothing. I start to float above the ground. My mother looks up at me and starts to say something, but I still hear nothing. I get above the trees and powerlines and realize that its night time. I start floating forward and the wind splashing against my face overwhelms me. I panic a bit and start to fly higher. I then feel like I have full control. And then suddenly realize I don't. I don't know why but it sets me at a very comfortable state. And I let the wind pass me along with it.

Excuse the long post, I just wanted to get all my past dreaming up to date. I don't know why exactly, I just feel that it's better if I do that.

I'd like to say that browsing around here has made me remember a lot of things. I've been looking at some dream dictionaries on the internet, and I had suddenly remembered a dream I had not too too long ago, but awhiles back.


My Left Breast.
This dream was kind of scary to me. I woke up worried and confused.

Everything is hazy and blurry but I can still make out where I was and who I was with. I'm sitting on my mothers bed, her and my sister are in the room talking. I look down at myself, and notice that my left breast is literally lying on the floor.
(kind of weird, indeed.) I look at my chest, and see that "it" isn't there anymore. I start to panic, and feel dizzy. I say something (can't remember what exactly.) to my sister and mother. My voice was scratchy and quiet. They ignore me, and it makes me upset. I continue to look at myself and back to my breast lying on the floor. I wake up.

That one was pretty freaky. I can just imagine being stuck down in a hole in the floor, with animals creeping in at me, from inside.

Lol. That would have scared the crap out of me.

Yeah, that's some scary stuff. I'm usually apprehensive about looking into mirrors when I dream. Strangely enough, though, I haven't had too many bad experiences with them. I'm sure I would after seeing that little girl outside my window, and then looking into a mirror, though.

Yes. Before you actually fall into deep sleep, you have hypnogogic imagery. They are really subtle, daydream-like experiences where you just begin to see and hear things in the "dreamworld" even while you're for the most part, awake.

Hypnopompic imagery is pretty much the same thing, except it's what happens when you're waking up from deep sleep and you can kind of slip in and out of consciousness, while the little remnant pieces of dreams still flash through your head. I've had some really weird experiences with hypnopompia. Sometimes, I've had it to where my "waking world" senses will kick in at different times, instead of all at once. So, when I'm waking up from a dream, sometimes I will still hear or see what's going on in the dream, even though the rest of my senses are attuned to the waking world. That can be really scary, depending on the dream I'm waking up from.

Honestly, I don't think so. As long as you're not keeping yourself awake for too long and you don't have to worry about sleep deprivation, then you should be fine. I don't think you could, say, practice it too many times, but if you don't do it to the point to where you're having trouble getting sufficient sleep because you're trying to stay conscious, then I don't think there's anything to worry about.

Very interesting dreams, so far. Looks like a great start to your journal.

Looking forward to reading more of them!

Thank you Oneironaut for answering those questions of mine.
I really appreciate your feedback =)

You're welcome.

So, the past few days I've just been remembering dreams out of no where, lol.
Which is a good thing! =D



In a pool.

I remembered this out of no where as I was falling asleep lastnight...

Ok, so I was in an in ground pool. And the "character" with me was either Sebastian or Flounder from The Little Mermaid.() Anyways, I was trying to show off and be all cool and stuff and decided to walk over to where the steps going into the pool were. I climbed on top of the rail and proceeded to do a backflip off of it into the pool. I hit my head on the bottom of the pool, and possibly for a really short second, I was lucid. But then I realized I was underwater and what had just happened. I opened my eyes and saw Sebastian/Flounder and he was trying to tell me something. I look up and can see where the surface of the water is, glowing a yellowish blueish greenish color. I start swimming up towards it, fearing that I somehow wouldn't be able to get out. It seems like it's taking forever and I start freaking out. I wake up.


Don't know what I should title this.

I remember walking up really narrow stairs that were up against a wall, and had no railing on the other side. It seemed like I was walking up to an attic or something. I had someone with me, who I don't really know, but I did in the dream. The stairs go up really high and It starts getting darker around us. I notice theres light up ahead. We were looking for Kris (a friend of mine who had moved to another state.) We get into this weird space at the top of the stairs, and it's about as small to walk on as a window sill (was that the right word? lol.) Anyways, we crawl through this small square shaped door-like entrance into Kris' bedroom. He looks at us, and says, "I have to get out of here." As he's packing stuff into a big duffel bag. For some reason I don't say anything back. (Or I don't remember.) I wake up.

So I'm noticing my recall improving, and I thank DV for this, because it's the only thing I can think of that is helping.

=)

Ugh...I've got bad memories of the time I almost drowned after hitting my head on the side of a pool, while attempting a back flip. I was unconscious and people had to pull me out of the water. But I've experienced the franticness of trying to race to the surface of the water and not knowing whether or not I'm going to make it, too. That always sucks. =/

Congrats on the improving recall.

Thanks! I feel like I'm really starting to get the hang of it all.

I also have a bad memory of me almost drowning. I was really young but I remember me and some family had went to some lake where people go to swim a lot. I was trying to go out in the water with my cousins on my floaty (haha) and I slipped off of it under the water and opened my eyes. I saw a fish that was staring back at me, and all I could do was stick my hands above the water and wave them frantically around hoping someone would notice. My mother and a family member (I don't know how she's family but she is..) came and got me. Maybe that's why I'm so scared of water now. But now that I look back on it, it was pretty peaceful just looking at that fish.

Hehehe. The mental image of that is pretty funny.

Praying for a lucid tonight,
(or just remembering my dream would be nice too)
=)

Haha. Good luck.

Last night before I went to sleep, I was imagining myself here on DV, writing that I had finally remembered my dream...

And here I am now actually remembering my dream! I'm so happy, even though it wasn't lucid at all, and I'm not particularly happy with the dream but I will post it when I get home from school. I'm already late right now so yeah. Success Success Success!

I'm in school right now so I have to make this really fast.
Anyways here it goes...


Apples in the Bowl
It starts off with me and C in his kitchen, but it wasn't actually his kitchen. (Should've done a RC) Then we are lying in the floor and I'm laying on top of him and everything seemed fine between us, when in reality we're not together anymore. So after that, C's mother, who was actually my friend V's mother (should've done an RC) was awake. It seemed like it was about 10 in the morning in the dream. His mother walked by and told me to put 4 apples each in 4 bowls. But take one apple out of one of the bowls, and to give it to my mother since I hadn't called her last night and had stayed out all night. I said ok to this, and started grabbing some bowls and a bag of apples. V's sister was there ( V's sister was there and I don't know why exactly. Also, sitting on the couch, was C's mom's ex boyfriend, D.)
And after that I remember picking out one of the apples of the bowls that I would be giving to my mother. I looked at the apple and woke up.

Van On The Water
I only remember little pieces...

I remember "everybody" going on a trip or vacation to somewhere. We got in a van and started driving across the water. Next thing I remember is me holding onto a pipe or something that was above the water, hoping I wouldn't fall in. The water looked really dirty and gross. Next thing I remember is this guy in my class named Corey? (I don't even know his name..) But he's standing there holding me () And I'm trying to be nice but just sort of walk away from him...


That's all I remember. But I know there's more to the part about the water and the van and stuff... wasn't able to post this morning before school, so I've forgotten some things.

North Carolina
Again.. I only remember bits of things..

Me and my sister had moved back to our grandparents house in NC, where our three cousins stayed. We were taking pictures and I was looking on my camera and saw a picture of me that was taken on Christmas day and I had a piercing on my nose, right between my eyes... Then it changes to where we are all outside in the garage getting our stuff together and unpacked and we decide to ride into town.

I also had another dream. It was very short, but extremely awful.
I was in the car with my mother on the highway and we were about to make a sharp turn. There was a huge semi right beside us that was getting over in our lane. My mom tried to speed up since that was the only thing she could do, and she pressed her horn. The semi hit us and after it did, a baby was rolling out of nowhere on the road and the semi almost ran over it. When the semi had stopped I rushed over to the baby and picked it up. When it got in my arms it stopped crying, and I brought it home with me.



So those are my dreams for today.
=)

LSS
(I'm so glad I'm getting better at remembering my dreams! )

Damn, that last one sounds rough. I always get a little when I'm driving next to semis. I've heard a lot of stories and have had one friend who was in a horrible accident because of a semi driver's negligence. (She's ok, though. ) And the baby part was just random! Haha.

Glad to see your recall is picking up, though. Keep it up.

Haha yeah I've heard many stories too. Semi's are scary

The baby part was totally random indeed ahaha

And thanks, I hope I'll be able to keep it up =)

Lemon Huckett Road.
I find myself editing a movie I had finished filming. I was excited and happy and extremely anxious. I had finally finished my first film. I see my dad, and he is telling me that he's really happy for me, and that he is proud his 16 year old daughter has made a film. Then I posted some artwork I had done on the internet. I remember smiling. Then I find myself walking along a dirt road, somewhere near by where I lived. There is a wooden sign that reads, "Lemon Huckett Road" and I see some kind of paper stuck to the wood. I realize that only I am suppose to see this paper, and no one else would notice it was there. (I don't have any idea what that's all about, but ok....)I take the paper down and read it.

Dear Lindsey,

I'm in love with you, and I live on the back of Lemon Huckett road.
By the way, you're an amazing artist.

I look up and glance down the road. I wake up.

Degrassi and Deja Vu

Tobey and I are at a water park. The water park is right in my front yard. Me and Tobey go to a ride that I feel like I have been on before, but I know I haven't. We hold on to this bar and the bar moves us off of the platform, beneath a lot of water, that I know is extremely deep. Tobey let's go and I don't know what I did. Before the dream changed to a different scene I look up and saw that my sister's boyfriends car was there, and realized my sister is probably leaving.

I'm in a very weird room. Some small building that's like a storage room. I'm going through old stuff of mine, and remembering old memories from when I was really young. Then I see my dad, although he didn't look like my dad, but he was. And his best friend since 3rd grade was with him. My dad and D give me a joint. The dream changes.

I don't really remember where I was. But I was wearing a towel and a bathing suit. I walk and sit on Craig's lap. I think by doing this I hurt Tobey's feelings. Me and Craig kiss. I look at Tobey, and know that I hurt his feelings.

I'm in some kind of warehouse. A guy is giving another guy a metal case which I assumed had a good deal of cash in it. All of a sudden, something goes wrong, and guns are being fired. I run to a truck, and didn't realize it was running. I sit in the drivers seat, which is on the right of the car, usually where the passenger seat would be (Atleast in the US). A guy with a gun comes over to the car and points the gun right at me. I hold my hands up and start telling him that I'm not going to do anything, just don't kill me. He gets in the car and tells me to drive. I look at him like he's stupid. He says, "Put the truck in drive, and press the gas." But the truck was already in drive... so I pressed the gas and we took off. I start freaking out because I don't know where the hell we were. There were so many lanes and different things I'd never seen before. I couldn't tell which stoplights were directed to which cars. He tells me to turn right, and I turn right, and end up getting all up in the other lane, where cars are coming straight at me. He yells and say get on the right side. So I finally get on the right side. And the dream ends.

MS
I was in the game I play(MS). I nor anyone else were animated though. Basically only the monsters were there. I remember walking and walking and walking for a long time. Then I'm in class, but the classroom looks different. I'm on a computer (That's not suppose to be there.) and I accidentally IM my someone, who I have a small crush on. He looked over to me and then signed off.

This guy I know from school, and I, go on a party quest, then we're in his house I guess? I don't know. Was in some house. There were two school desks that we were sitting in. We were watching some weird movie and he kept falling asleep. My little brother was in his bathroom. I went to help my brother brush his teeth.
