Thread: Midnight Journies

Well, I have a hard time writing all my dreams down on paper, so I think writing it here will help me keep track of everything. C:

On another journal I was reading the other night, I saw that they had colors to distinguish between whether or not it was lucid, etc. I think that's a good idea.

So phrases in this lovely blue means that I realized it was a dream and started to do a lucid dream thing. C:

But I don't think that will happen for awhile. But I won't underestimate myself!

So... Here we go!

Last night, I dreamt I was at a buffet with my family. I was up, looking at all the food. I thought: I should have healthy foods.

But there weren't any. They were all nasty, greasy food. They didn't even look appetizing. I could find a potato, I think that's healthy. Then I found some cheese stick things and I knew it was at least a little healthy because it's dairy, so I got four of them and a potato and went back to sit with my family.

However, my aunt mary stopped me and said, "You can't have FOUR cheese sticks, you have to have FIVE in order for it to be healthy."

So she walked me back up to the buffet and grabbed one for me and put it on the plate.

Then I woke up.

I don't really remember the dream I had last night. I just know it had to do something with a container. The container was red and had something on it.

I just don't recall what it was.

Hmm... And I thought I was pretty good at dream recall. I guess I need more practice.

Well, I remembered my dream this morning.

George W. Bush is coming to KC, so I dreamed about that. And my mom REALLY wanted me to go. So we got in the car and we were going there and suddenly we got caught up in HEAVY traffic. My mom said, "Screw it." and we ended up in Africa.

In Africa, the grass was pretty green, not like a dessert at all. There was a huge tree with a cot under it. Two women were sleeping in the cot. They were dark and I found them absolutely beautiful. I think one of them had green eyes.

Well, we talked for awhile, but I don't remember what about and they re arranged the cot somehow to make a T shape.

Then they just got up and went to this khaki safari-type Jeep. They were going to go see George W, too!

So they left me by myself to go back to the US.

As I walked, I passed these haunted houses. I didn't go in, of course. But then these men in dark purple robes with Jack-O-Laterns over their heads chased me. Everytime they would pop up, I would be scared, but then I would laugh because they looked really weird.

I feel like I've had a dream similar to this before.

Last night, I had a dream. Me and my friends went to Wal-Mart and we were playing in the aisles, running around and tagging each other. Eventually we ended up in the food department and I had to tackle one of my friends because she was getting away.

Let's just say it ended in lesbian awkwardness...

Nice start to your DJ, MQ. I see you've already found it awkward to write exactly what happened (in the last dream).
I like the dream about going to Africa rather than meeting George Bush!

Not sure what to say about the lucids. I don't LD either but I keep my DJ here and have found the conversations useful, especially when I see themes appearing in other DJs that I'm also having. My recall has improved tremendously too.

Best of luck, and enjoy!

So, I took a nap earlier and I had this weird dream.

I was at my school and all my friends were were gathered around me and we were talking. I'm not sure about what.

But we had to kick someone off the "island."

And I had to persuade everyone that it shouldn't be me! And the host from Survivor was there.

Yeah...

I had the jackpot of dreams last night. And I actually remember! Which is why I'm so happy.

False Awakening

One of my dreams was a false awakening. I dreamed that I sat up on the couch (where I was sleeping) and looked at the clock. It was seven in the evening (I could tell because the outside was dark). So I got up and came into the computer room and asked my brother if I could get on the Internet. He said okay and I got on Facebook and logged in.

My mom confirmed that this awakening was false this morning. I asked her if I had gotten up at seven and she said no, that I was asleep the whole night (from 5 pm -- 6 am).

Shooting Star

Anyway, then my next dream, I was at the local outdoor shopping mall and I was looking up at the night sky and I saw this shooting star. I was like: OMG, I have to make a wish now! So I closed my eyes and made a wish for a new boyfriend/girlfriend. I opened my eyes and the star is right down in my face. But it's not a cool, whirling nebula star, it's like one of those cartoon stars, with glasses. And it was like: Get into the booth and we'll entertain you shortly. So I got into one of the booths, but it had, like, windows in it, so I could see out.

Anyway, so I'm sitting there and suddenly stuff starts rattling on the door handle and I can't see it (the windows are on the side, not the front). I don't know, it would scare me if it happened in real life, but, in the dream, I was happy and thrilled, like it was so cool. Then nothing happened.

Next, I saw my ex, Spencer, walking around. It made me mad for some reason. I don't know why, though. So, I got out of the booth and went to go follow him, but I lost him (There wasn't even a crowd, I guess he just ducked into a store or something). And then the star came up behind me and told me, "You know, if you don't get into a booth, then I can't entertain you." It was somewhat threatening, but I got into a booth anyway...

Phantom of the Opera is Here.... Inside my dream

The next dream I had was that my school was putting on a production of Phantom of the Opera. I was backstage/lights management, because my theatre teacher knew that I had the most experience with those things. Well, we were going through and we got to the "The Mirror (Angel of Music)" score and I was listening backstage. I was listening for my cue. For whatever reason, I was the only person who could say "Who is that voice? Who is that in there" and "Christine!? Angel!" correctly at the end of the song.

So we were getting to that part and the curtains were closing, lights dimming, etc, and I was about to say it when everyone started screaming. I was so confused.

Everyone told me "There's something dead on the stage!" But I never got to see it. So I had to go tell everyone in the audience that there would be an intermission and we'd start over from "The Mirror (Angel of Music)" when they came back.

So everyone came back after intermission and we tried again. The same thing happened, so I went to go look at the body. It looked like a big red fish, so I picked it up. Jell-O came out of its mouth, so I looked inside of it. More Jell-O.

I don't remember much of this dream, but I remember I was looking at this tin and it had this blue little chibi on it. I was wondering what it was and a DC came up to me and was like, "That's from Solty Rei."

I just looked at it and shrugged.

I've only seen a couple of episodes of Solty Rei, by the way

In my dream, I was first at a video store. It was not in very good condition. Well, I'm looking around and there's all these weird videos everywhere. They're all horror films. Eventually, I look up, I'm looking for the porn. There's a big door that says "Adult features only," but I don't dare go in, because I'll be embarrassed.

The guy who I came with came over and grabbed my arm, he was like, "Let's go." And so I went.

It turns out that the video store was on Native American Burial Grounds, so the car he was driving was haunted. Sometimes, it would go faster without him wanting it to and just weird stuff in general.

Anyway, we got to his house and we got out of the car.

Across the street, these kids would jump out of the bushes and this guy's friend would run them over with a car and then pick them up and take them somewhere. I wasn't really scared, just kind of indifferent at that.

Then this guy takes me down to his basement and is like: We're going to can you up and make you into food.

And I'm like: D:

So he leaves and then this little Asian girl comes out of nowhere. I'm like: We have to get out of here.

So we try to escape and I get out of the basement. And I see my mom. I run up to the car and I'm out-of-breath.

"Mom, this guy's going to eat me. Please let me come with you!"

My mom turns to me and says "No, it's helpful to society if you become food."

I realize that this is just a dream, my mom would NEVER give my life up for the "good of the society." I feel my physical breath start to speed up and I tell myself to cool down. I start to walk towards the house, I'm going to get my revenge on my captor. But the dream starts to fade into black and white. I spin to try to keep clarity, but I fail at this and wake up. After passing a reality check, I look at the clock. It's four o' clock.

In my dream, we were watching some kind of underwater scene unfold through a TV screen. There was a lion fish and other stuff and I was like, "Why is it, when you watch underwater stuff, there's always so much sand and you can hardly see anything?"

Then there were these two big round things, one was red, the other blue. They looked at the camera and were mad because we were watching them, then they burst out of the water and came right at us! We screamed and ran away.

~~

Then, I was in an amusement park bathroom, one that was outside the amusement park. And there were all these people running around with knives.
I eventually took one from them.

I know I haven't been writing in here lately. It's because somewhere along the road, I stopped remembering my dreams again and I had to start all over.

Recently, I've been able to recall my dreams. And this is one that I had last night.

Quik Trip, Jenna, and... Fursuits?

So in my dream, I was going to Quik Trip for some reason. I went inside and this guy that I really don't like, Jonas, was in there. I was like: WTF is he working here?

He stopped and talked to me for a bit, I don't remember what about, but then I left because I was meeting my other friend Jenna (whom I have a crush on). So I eventually met her at this café sort of thing. So we started talking and Jenna said something about what Jonas had written on her facebook, that she had been invited to AFW and all and told me what the comment was. Which was basically that Jonas didn't plan on cosplaying, but wearing a fursuit.

I burst out laughing and Jenna asked what was so funny. I remarked that most anime peoples, especially those hardcore 4chan-ers, hate furries.

I don't know why I found it so funny. :/

But it was a weird dream...

Yes, school has started and my summer has just really been crazy. I haven't really remembered any of my dreams until recently, though. These are the three that have occurred in the past two days.

a dog; a flying car; and satanism (Aug 26th)

So, I'm not sure where this dream started, but I was in this marsh. It was day time. I was looking around and there was this little island in front of me surrounded by a little stream. I was like: Hmm. that's pretty cool.

Then this olive-green car comes flying out of no where! It comes from behind me and crashes on the little island. Well, there's this Jack Russell terrier on the hood of the car and I remember thinking: OH NOES! The dog's gonna get smashed!

And, I saw the dog's back was broken and it was all crippled. I was so worried about it. Then it got up and shook its fur and seemed to straighten out and was perfectly fine.

My next thought was: I have to get the dog to this side of the stream. So I grabbed a stick and tried to get at it, but it was too short. Then I wished I had a plank and I had a plank, so then I laid it across the river and the dog walked across.

Then I turned around and saw my friend Kyle. He was wearing a shirt that said "I (pentagram) Satanism."

I was like: I didn't know you were Satanist.

And he said: Well, I agree with a lot of their concepts.

And that was the end of that one.

Werewolves; Kansas?; Justin (Aug 27th)

It was day out and there were these werewolves in this car. I was observing from third-person point of view. They had these weird yellow and pink bumps all over their faces and they were changing from human to werewolf, so their teeth were poking through their gums and the human teeth were falling out. They kept saying stuff about how they might be contagious.

Then there was this infant that was brought in and she wasn't getting sick.

So the werewolves were like: we're not contagious!

Now I was in first person point of view and in this weird bus car thing and driving through Kansas City. It was weird because I knew it was Kansas City, but it didn't LOOK like it at all. It looked more like a different nation (maybe France?). There were cafés and stuff and I remember thinking that it didn't look like the Kansas City I knew.

Then I saw Justin sitting at a café, listening to an iPod. I leaned out the window of the bus car and yelled at him, but he couldn't hear me because he was listening to his iPod.

So the bus continued, then I leaned out and yelled again. This time he heard and got on a bike.

His hair was the same, but it was kinda shaved in the back and different colors (blonde, pink, and black). He also had a goatee (WTF?).

So he rode his bike up to the bus and was like: Hey, what's up?

I was like: Nothing, yo.

Phone Call (Aug 27th [during my nap])

I dreamt that I woke up and looked over at my phone and I had a missed call from Justin. I was like: Oh well. Then I went back to bed.

I dreamt that I was looking for my book, Cry the Beloved Country, in this HUGE library.

All I could find were baby-blue books that were To Kill a Mockingbird...

Well, I dreamed that I was downstairs in my room and I woke up and there was this HUGE spider in front of me. At first, I was scared, then the spider spoke to me telepathically and was like: Don't be scared, I just want to hang out.

Or something like that. I don't remember the words exactly.

And I was like: Okay.

Then we just kinda hung out and then I found out that the spider was actually plotting to kill me (which may or may not be true, I don't know).

And, in real life (not dream world), I have this can of bug spray in my room in case I DO see a spider, so I was looking for that in the dream. I grabbed something that I thought was it and sprayed it at the spider web. But then it turned out to be Lysol and it didn't kill the spider. The spider got angry and then I woke up.

This last one was pretty weird. I dreamed I was chasing this one thing with other people (it was some sort of dangerous beast) and we met this guy in an alleyway. It was night and I remember the prominent colors being blues and purples. And he held out his hand and there was this weird animal in it. I remember saying that it was part cat, monkey, and something else..

Anyway, then I had a dream where I WAS the beast. My teeth throbbed and then they grew out. I was so hungry, so HUNGRY. Then I saw this little girl. I don't know how old she was. I didn't really care. I chased her down and bit hard into her calf. She screamed and I tried to rip her calf off, but it wouldn't rip, so I just let go and pinned her down so she couldn't get away and drank the blood.

So, I've been worrying about my weight a lot lately and I had a dream last night where I weighed 260lbs.

It sucked.

So, I had this dream where Azmyth came to our renaissance festival. And I was like: OMG, you shouldn't have to drive all the way home! You should stay at my house!

He was like: Okay.

So we finished up at the ren fest. And it was weird because the ren fest was either on water (think Venice) or in some sort of dark corridor. It was WEIRD. Me, him, Quintin, and a couple other people piled into my car and we went to my grandma's house. But it was the old house, not the new one.

And I went in first and I was like: Mom, can Azmyth stay with us? I don't want him to drive back home at night...

She looked at me and was like: No.

So I went back outside and I told Azmyth: Just sneak into the house and hide there. I'll sneak you back out to the car.

It was a nice night, so it would be okay for him to sleep out in the car.

Somehow, I snuck him into the closet. It did this weird time-skip thing to me trying to keep my little cousin, Baby BR, from telling everyone that Azmyth was in the closet.

Well, he told. Azmyth came tumbling out of the closet and he had some fuggin' weird pink mohawk. Like this guy from Naka.

And then my mom was like: Ooooookaaaaaaay, he can stay in your car.

So Azmyth slept in the car.

Well, I had a dream that Azmyth was coming down to... somewhere... I don't remember exactly where, but he was coming and I was going. And, as I was driving, there was this HUGE car pile-up. So I got out of the car and walked to see what had caused it all. I walked by all the cars and I saw Azmyth. He was standing outside of his car (which was the cause of the accident) and wearing a leather trench-coat type thing. I went up to him. He was super tall, like, maybe 6 foot. He had long red hair -- I mean dark dark red -- and Soubi-esque glasses on. And really bad stubble -- like, very unkept and unclean.

So I was like: Yo, what up?

And then we decided to leave, so we just walked away and ended up in this park (I think) and we were walking arm-in-arm (even though I had to be on my tip-toes {sort of}) and he just turned to me and was like, "You're not as cool as I thought you would be."

I was like: Are you serious? D:

And then he left me.

It was a pretty scary dream. :/

I dreamed that me and my mom went to the apartment and then I met up with these dream characters there. I went into my room and I started putting stuff away (mostly hiding altar) and making my bed.

Then there was this couple and they were out in the hallway, so I went out there and they were like: dude, you should totally come with us.

So I did and we went into this dark area and we got into these roller coaster cars. I and one of my friends (I don't know who it was. I know it was a girl, though) sat in this car by this really big guy. I remember that he tried to fondle us or something, because we were really offended afterwards.

And then the ride started. And it was a ride that I remember being on before in dreams. It was supposed to be a horror type ride thing and there were these dinosaurs in it. I didn't really think it was that scary, though.

And, every time we went around, it skipped a century. And, at first, we were just in this room with olive green walls and old pictures everywhere. Someone told me that the goal was to find all the pentagrams that were hidden in the wall. And so I looked and I found ten. And they weren't like any sort of pentagram that I used, they somehow had that goat-head twist to them.

I remember we were in the 17th century and we weren't worried. Then, we went around and there was this sign that said "18th century" and me and my friend looked at each other, we were like: "O SHIT, METEOR."

We kept trying to make the cart go faster and it went a head just a LITTLE faster. We were so freaked out. I also remember a blue dinosaur that looked like a baryonyx.

We got out and the meteor crashed on the ride and we were safe. Me and my friend hugged the big guy sitting next to us.

I remember saying, "I don't care if you tried to fondle us, we're all alive."

The first part is that I was on a scavenger hunt. I had a list in my hand -- written in blue pen -- that told me all the items I needed to find in this shop. So I looked around and I found a handful of items -- all of them were men's items. Well, men's jewelry. One of them was a gray matte chain with a clip on it, then a metal pendant on a chain (it had a image that looked like wheat that was laid in a circle). And there were a few other things. I didn't want to look for anything else, so I gave the items to an appraiser. They looked at my things and told me what they thought of the items. The pendant with the wheat on it was too faded, so they told me it wasn't worth much. I left and then I found myself outside of this big house. I went inside of it because I was looking for something (I think) and I knew that the people inside of the house were asleep and I wasn't supposed to wake them up. I slipped inside and looked around. I remember being on at least four different stories of the house, but I know that there were more above me. I remember seeing two brothers in a bedroom and they woke up to look at me, even though I wasn't there I could still see them. They sat up and looked around. I'm guessing that they were Mexican, since their skin was dark like mine and their eyes and hair were black.

In the second part, I was in an amusement park and they had this "rock and roll" themed ride. Someone kept talking about "Metallica" and then they were quickly corrected that they weren't going to be there.

How it worked is that we had to get into cars and get into the ride. I got into a car that had a green leaf painted on it. I was sort of attached to another car, that had an orange leaf painted on it (that somehow reminded me of spring and fall). So we went into this place and there were these doll people that sang to us classic rock and roll songs and things.

And then I was dumped off in this are that I swear I have seen in my dreams before. It was this area that had all these lights going off. I stepped into the area and a wall appeared in front of me. I had to wait before it went away and then I was sort of released into an area where I had to avoid these lazers. If I got hit by one, then a ghost thing would be sent after me and I would die. I get hit, but then I run the shit out of there. I found the secret exit and I escaped unharmed.

In the last part, I was at Wal-Mart with my mom, brother, and cousin Laura (I think she was there. There were four people in total). So we go to the magazine/book area and we're just chilling and this lady comes up to me and says, "Hey, were you guys in this section earlier?"

We say that we were in it then, but not earlier.

And then the lady says, "Well, there were two little girls that were kidnapped from here earlier and killed."

And then I suddenly had an image of what they looked like. They were slashed all the way from their labia all the way up to their throats. Their skin was peeled back just a little so you could see the insides just a bit. They also had hot dogs taped onto their backs.

Then I was woken up by a text.
