Welcome to...

Stephen's Extravagant Goodness, New and Improved Dream / Polyphasic Sleep Journal for the Year 2008!



I'm starting on an everyman schedule today! I would have started yesterday but I forgot to set the alarm to wake me up. :D

Don't know what else to say, so here's the key:

I'll start posting things tomorrow then!

Ha! Sweet! :D

Do you have school or anything at the moment? I can't imagine doing something like that with my current schedule. :shock:

Yup!

That's the only bad part. I think that school will be fine because I missed half the last grade period more or less and still kicked ass in grades! :D Don't ask me how, but I pulled through while doing actually very little work and made great grades. So that'll be fine and I imagine it would only help since it's supposed to improve productivity and awareness.

The only downside to doing it during school is that I have about a 8-9 hour block of no sleep while on a perfect everyman I would get about 5 hours of awake time between each sleep. So I figured I can have my 3 hour core right before school starts, and take a nap right after.

If that fails I would probably rearrange my sleep to have an earlier core and sleep during P.E. since my ankle is operated on and I can't do anything. :D I could also *maybe* sleep during lunch since our school food is horrible and I don't really eat.


Once summer starts though, if Everyman has gone well, I think I'll probably switch to Uberman over the summer!


Edit: Added a little stats thing to first post. It was looking empty. Might get a picture too.

Day 1 of Everyman

It's going well today. Not really too tired. I'll get little bits of tiredness if I stay sitting down for a while, but when I'm active I'm just as awake as normal. I skipped my first nap because I wasn't really tired enough to sleep and didn't want to force myself to sleep, but I'll take my second nap, because I can feel sleepiness slowly creeping up on me, so I think that it will come in at a perfect time for my nap in an hour.

I didn't really have any dreams in my core tonight. I think they start coming after I get well into the sleep cycle.

I'll post an update after my third nap.

So Tired!

Woke up for day two about 5 hours ago. Going to take my first nap of the day in a bit.

Today is a much more tired day than yesterday. I could dose off if I'm not careful.

So tired. :bedtime:

Update:

A bit ago when I went to lay down for a nap I started having some vivid HI. Lots of flashing colors and eyes floating around. :D

Not too tired right now. Next nap is in an hour.

Day... what day is it? 4 or 5?


Core went great last night. Got tired about half an hour before my first nap, had a little bit of trouble getting to sleep, but I could have gotten to sleep and not have known it, because 20 minutes flew by but I felt kind of semi-conscous.

I just skipped my second nap about an hour and a half ago, but I'm now starting to get a bit tired.

Going to go start on school work so I'll stay awake some more.


Still no dreams. Or any that I've recalled.

First little bit of a dream while on Everyman

[Had this during my last nap.]

I'm in a classroom talking to people when I realize that it is past 7:00 PM and I wasn't tired at all (one of my nap times). I got extremely disappointed because I didn't want to miss any naps and I knew that I would be tired soon but wouldn't know what to do. Very sad. :(


How am I doing?

Good.

I'm getting to the good ole sleep deprivation bit somewhat. Not too too bad I guess, since I can still function, but while sitting in class I start to nod off a little bit... More than I normally would. :P I just had nap number one. I ate before it and felt kinda groggy, but still got up because I had to pee which is why the dream above might have been longer. Overall, I'm pretty good, and the excitement of getting into this cycle is keeping me going.

Back at it!


I had to quit going polyphasic a couple weeks after starting because it was hard to manage with my injured ankle.

Well, today I went to my foot doctor and he took me off the crutches and put my in a little brace thing. I can walk around and bike and swim now (even though it's Winter!)!

Now that I can actually do things, it'll be easier to maintain, so I'm going back at it!

Tomorrow will be day one attempt two. ;)

Goodluck, you can do it!

Sounds like it must get hard to adjust to, how many naps do you take each day?

Thanks. :D

I take 3 naps and one core sleep of 3 hours a day. During the summer though, I'm probably going to switch to Uberman where I'll take 6 naps a day. :shock:

Sounds tough to stick to. I'm all for napping, but those are in addition to my regular sleep!

Do you feel tired at all when you're doing this?

The first week or so is bad but after that it's easy.

Back to life!
(This isn't a dream.)

Alright... recall has been iffy lately, and I haven't been keeping up with my DJ in the morning, but I remember my dreams fairly well if I only right down some key words, so I'm bringing my 2008 DJ back to life. I'll start writing my dreams down here. (What I might do is make a post on here in the mornings that will have the keywords, then edit the post later on in the day with the full dream. Some of these keywords might be exciting. :boogie:)

Also, my 11 day spring break starts in a week. The perfect time for me to get relatively adjusted into polyphasic sleep. So, I'll start updating polyphasic news then.

?

This dream is pretty sketchily remembered, so I'll try my best.

There's some kind of party going on at my house. my cousins and uncles are over, and we're all talking about something. I notice that there's tons of food in the oven. It's all stacked up. I turn the light of the oven on and ask my Dad why it's in there, and he quickly turns it off. I turn in back on and look at the cake that's in there, wanting some.

Something happens, then me and Kyle are talking to a really really sexy girl in some sort of warehouse. I say to Kyle, "Dude, she's so hot, I'm gonna have sex with her." He tells me that he wants to, but I end up having sex with her. :hump: It's pretty great sex! After it, I go back into the warehouse place where there's a couple groups of people. I notice that this girl I know looks really hot, and want to have sex with her, but don't. I get some plywood and make a box. I don't know why. :P Kyle knocks it down and I'm like, "What the fuck!"

Scene shifts again. I'm back outside my house with Kyle, and my parents come outside. My Dad says something about my Mom having a beard. (?:lol:) I go inside and notice that everything has the Aggie logo on it. Mugs, silverware, cups, plates, tables, etc. I find this weird and stupid.



There's some holes in my recall. :P

I'm amazed that I didn't get lucid during this! It's the most eclectic, insane dream I've had in quite some time. It is about 3 dreams put together that picked up where the others left off, but had different crazy aspects.


Epic!

We start out on some sort of island resort. It isn't a very large island, but the structure of the resort is massive. 60 story hotel, etc. I go down to the bottom to go in the pool. I start climbing on things, then get into the pool. There's an albino shark that I grab onto, but he gets out from under me. I go on the waterslide, and when I get to the bottom, I make myself stop and sit on the slide. Somebody comes up and tells me that he needs to do repairs on it, so I get off. He puts a flag on the slide and sets up a camera to watch it. I go to the slide next to it, and sit on it, and try to climb up it. Somebody slides down it and almost hits me. I see the shark coming behind the repair man, so I tell him to watch out.

I see some friends going into the restaurant behind the slides. I follow them in, but it costs $1000 just to get into the restaurant. I think that this is ridiculous, so I go on.

(Next dream)

So, I'm walking along this little path from the waterslide, and I get to a little spot that looks like it's some sort of market. I'm in the middle of it. To my left, there's some little food stands, in front of me, there's a stage where something is going on. Behind me are restaurants. I am watching the stage, but nothing interesting is going on. I look to my right, and a girl is standing up and pissing in the middle of a crowd of people. I look at my Mom, and we both say, "What the fuck?"

I go over to the little stand to my left and get some food. I continue to walk down the path. There's a big lagoon thing, and another girl just pisses in the middle of everybody. This time another girl says, "What the fuck are you doing?" After the first girl walks away, though, the girl that said, "What the fuck?" pisses.

(Next dream)

Now, I'm like a sort of James Bond character. I go into the lagoon, and there's a bunch of people having sex. Just then, there's a huge explosion! I save this girl, and tell her some crappy poem that doesn't make sense about the bomb. We then have sex.

There's a deja vu, and the same thing happens again.

Now we're walking up this stair case out of the lagoon. I'm Godzilla now, and she says that she's mad that I can't have sex with her. Some guy says, "Wait, you can't have sex with her." :lol: I see some sort of sign with two words on it, but the first letters need to be switched, and it has something to do with me not being able to have sex with her because I'm a giant lizard. We get out of the stairs, and we're on a big platform with lava all around us. I sit down, and she tells me to get my penis out of some sort of hole that is goes into like a turtle. :uhm:

Suddenly, I'm not Godzilla anymore, but a sort of Mario character. There's another person that is my enemy on a platform next to ours. I jump over and we have some sort of fight. I steal his powers and give them to the girl, then he steals them back. We all lose our powers and me and the person are juggling crystals of power. I get them and give the girl one, then I kick the bad guy into the lava. His boss is pissed off.

Now that me and the girl have more powers, we can fly. We go flying all around the place. There's tons of castles and giant trees and things. I see a huge bridge, and want to get on it to get the scorpion gun from Halo 2 that is on it. :lol: I start flying to it, but my flying powers run out and I start falling. I land on a giant tree, then fall onto one of the stories of a castle. I go inside and find that I'm in a hallway. I say, "Hey! This is the right place to go! The boss is this way!" :lol: I go down the castle hall, and I see a spike, two bouncy things, and a bunch of coins to my left. I go over there and jump on it, but I hit the spike and get sucked under it and die.

I start over from where I was flying and the same thing happens, except this time I land on the tree's branch that is above the castle and sit on i for a while before going in.

I go to the spike and get all the coins and bounce on the bouncy balls for a little bit.

(Next dream)

I walk away from the spike and go into a room. I'm not Mario anymore, but myself. My family, cousins, and random people from school are with me. In the room, there's a couple tables. On one of the tables, there's some little balls, assorted nuts, and fried air. On another table, there's a wedding cake, and on a shelf, there's water bottles. There's a sign that says, "Drink some water!" Somebody goes for the water bottles, but I scream, "STOP!" I know this place. If we drink or eat anything, spikes come out and kill us. I find these shells with little holes in them and say, "These little balls are all that we can eat, here's how." I slide the shell across the balls, and it gathers them up for me to suck them out of the shell. The balls are filled with water, but don't really quench much thirst. Corbin comes in, and I explain it to him also.

We sit down on the couch that's behind the table, and find a huge TV in the cabinet. Super Mario, Super Smash Brothers, and Zelda are on the TV being played. I know that if we play the games, we'll also get killed. I say, "Shit, this is tempting." :lol:

I ask somebody what time is it, and it is 6:00 PM. I say, "Good, we check out of here at 4 AM, so we don't have too long before we can go." :uhm:

We're sitting on the couch, talking about whatever, when another friend walks in through a door behind the couch and says that he's just become a Power User (like on torrent sites). :lol: I say, "Hey, I've uploaded 25 GB, so I am too!" We go to a little desk and I give the lady my name. She tells me that I'm a power user with a 9.89 ratio. :lol: I say, "Fuck yeah!" I run into the room with the food and water and start eating and drinking the waters. People want to do it, but I tell them that I can only because I'm a power user.

The end.
