There were a few dreams during this nap..

The is a little hard to remember, we were at a bowling alley and there was another group of guys there too. It was shut down and we were throwing balls down the lane, but the end of the lane wasn't normal, instead of a set of pins, it was like a vending machine. (more specifically, like the vending machines at my dad's bowling alley) It was three high and around 7 or 8 across. Not everything was filled (just like the ones at the bowling alley) and we were throwing the balls at them to knock them loose. They would fall but we wouldn't ever get them, it was just a weird version of bowling. I remember we each threw a few balls and then all of a sudden the guys in the other group got really mad at us. I remember trying to say, whoa chill out there's no reason to be pissed. but we ended up fighting anyways.. things get a little blurry but I remember at the end someone hit someone else in the head with a golf club (a driver) and there was blood along the shaft of the club. Then we all ran (both groups) and someone was chasing us. I saw two girls go into a room that was shredding paper and they were tearing it apart and then I saw someone run into a room full of people sitting at small personal sized desks and running through it. I woke up for a few minutes.

I fell back asleep to this dream.
In the beginning of the dream I was writing a song.. and then somehow I was walking up a mountain. I saw a friend from work and he was asking me what he should do. I told him that I saw he was going to quit and he said he wasn't sure if he was going to or not. We were at the top of a really big hill and there wasn't really anyone around. Then I saw a girl that i don't know and she was saying stuff to me but I can't exactly remember what. Then I saw another hill that went higher and was grassy and it was really really good looking. It was really natural and looked like something that you wouldn't see ever in real life. There was a guy walking on it with his dog and the girl said, "oh hell no there's a higher hill we have to go to it". I didn't see a way to do it and then she just started walking on this narrow path out of nowhere, then the path appeared to me. (this is where things got odd) I feel like the path was going upwards and also it was upside down. I walked across it and when I got to it there was a girl and her mom walking by me. There was 2 ways I could go, continue on the grass or up a stone path and I chose the grassy one. Then I decided to go back but when I turned around to climb down it got really hard. I felt like I was going to fall off the face of the world, like the world got turned sideways and the platform that I was on had been rotated to be vertical. I slid a little bit and thought, oh shit this sucks. thats when I woke up.


I fell back asleep for a few minutes and I can remember that there were police and I had made burgers. My friends Mike and Kimber were at a table and I sat with them and we were going to eat.

April 15, 2008

tonight i remember small fragments of separate dreams.
the first one I remember being in a phone store with my mom and there being boxes and boxes of phones. I was trying to pick one out but none of them were really cool at all. They were all regular real life cell phones, but with minor details in the looks that were changed a little bit. I think that I did this for a long time, just looking around at the phones. I didn't even pick any of them up, I just walked around looking at them.


In another dream I remember seeing batman and superman.. and they were both flying in the air for some reason. This dream was more like me watching stuff happen, I didn't interact with anyone at all. Thats all i can remember


It was a bad night for recall, most likely due to a huge lack of sleep over the weekend.. 7 hours total

Jail Again...
The second dream.. I remember being in jail with my supposed girlfriend, a friend and his girlfriend. I don't remember who these people were and I don't remember much else about what we did in the dream. I distinctly remember standing on the other side of a fenced off room looking in at my girlfriend with a sense of longing, and she came up to it to look back at me. When she got closer I realize it's someone I actually do know, and then thought, why am I standing here like this.. i'm not even attracted to this girl. Then we were all released, and by this time the girl had changed into someone else who I was more attracted to. My alarm woke me up


Man Overboard!
The third dream I remember.. I was in some city across the bay bridge that was really nice (like marin) and we were eating in a restaurant. When we left I remember calling my friend who lives in marin to find out what it was called and I remember saying that it was a pho place. Then we were driving on the bay bridge (which should have made me realize I was dreaming because Marin is across the Golden Gate) and I was in the back of the car. The car was more like a boat, with the steering wheel in the middle and no seats in teh back. There was a girl driving that wasn't with us earlier, and my friend who likes her was trying to help her drive. She didn't want him to touch her but he kept on trying to because he likes her, but doesn't know he doesn't have a chance with her. I thought it was really funny. When we arrived at the destination we were actually on a boat and I was with a different group of people, they were having trouble docking.. things get blurry, but I remember that a girl was trying to help me get off the boat. My friends were going to stay on the boat and started to leave and I said, "wait I gotta get off" and so she was trying to help me get off. As we were doing this I was hitting walls and knocking things off of them, and they were falling onto the floor. The scene became my room at my dad's house. I told the girl to move everything and I would just fall off onto a pad that was on the ground and then the girl helping me somehow ended up on the boat where I was and then she jumped with me and we both landed and rolled around. After we landed she just kind of lied there holding onto me and I said, "ok.. i'm going to get up now...." and so she got off and walked away and left my dream. My friend Bry was on the bed next to us where we landed and then I talked to him a little bit and saw a huge wad of cash next to him. Then a woman called out for us to come and get our tips so I obliged and went to get my tip money. I remember counting it, there were 4 twenties, a fifty and like 12 ones. We were all discussing our tips because none of us knew why we got so much and I remember saying, I don't even know how i'm getting tips i didn't work last weekend (which is true). The background was starting to change but of course whenever this happens in my dreams i'm not paying attention to it. As if I was online my other friend Brandon told me that he wanted to save up and get ralph lauren shorts. I said, "Ralph Lauren Shorts? wtf, I just wanna save my money for my trip to hawaii". Then I noticed that we were in a Hollister and it seemed to be closed, but it was really dark like they always are. There was a guy working there and he said to me while i was putting my money into my wallet, "hey. what's that right there" referring to a pill that was on the table near my stuff. I picked it up and looked at it and said, i don't know a vicks or a halls or something. and he told me that one time an old lady had ecstasy with her. We talked about some other things for a while but I don't remember what. Then I found an old pikachu wallet that was supposedly mine and i said, how the fuck did this get here? I picked it up and put money in it because by this time I had wads and wads of cash. much more than I had been given in the first place, but i didn't notice. I walked into the next room to look for my backpack but as I was doing this my alarm woke me up.




Most of my dreams are LITTERED with things that should make me go lucid, but they never do

How did I miss you starting a dream journal? We have to stick together to represent the Bay Area, right?

I dig all the pictures. It helps give a feel for the dream. I always sketch in my dream journal. It makes it easier to go back and instantly recognize the dream.

That sounds dizzying. I hope that if the world ever turns upside down I'll be able to keep my cool as well as you did.

haha yeah, in my dreams my reality is always distorted, but I always accept it as the way things should be. I dream about flying and going through walls sometimes, this one time I rode a water dragon that was flying and then went under water. I always just accept them as the way things should be... usually I wonder about them but then I just end up not caring because its so cool

I love the use of photos in your journal, Skunk

I do the same thing, and it's such a great way to go back and find an entry

why thank you.

now i'm going to take a nap and try to have a lucid dream

edit: Okay, I had a very realistic dream. The most real i've had in a long time. (meaning the reality in the dream was the exact same as RL reality) this is a post for the written DJ

April 18, 2008

Tonight I had a bunch of dreams and have recall from all of them.. it's starting to fade so hopefully as I write about them they come back.

LUCID.. =(
Unfortunately I can't remember much at all from the first dream other than I became lucid at the very end because I was having trouble running. I was trying to run and wasn't running fast enough or felt like I was being held back and then it just hit me, "oh.. I'm dreaming. Nice I'm lucid..." Then everything went black and so I tried to look at my hands and rub them but couldn't see them, then I tried dream spinning to get the scene back, but I think I was already awake...

The search for Levi's
This dream started with me in a giant department store like Macy's or something. I was looking through the Men's section at Levi's. I walked away from them and then all of a sudden the store was like a labyrinth or something and I could not find my way back to that same spot at all. It was starting to really frustrate me. Then I saw a rack with an oakley sweatshirt on it, it was supposedly super special and would keep you warm no matter how cold it was. I guess this was the snowboarding section because I had put on blue snowboard socks and was putting on some weird rubber shoes that were like water shoes. The worker was asking me questions and I remember some young skater kids being around me. I realized that I didn't want to be doing what I was doing and the socks were really uncomfortable so I took them all off and told him I didn't want them. He told me he was going to charge me 6 dollars because there was fuzzy stuff from the socks on the velcro of the shoes, but I just ripped it off and was like, now I owe you nothing. Then I walked over to the only other section in the store that I could find jeans in. The store had changed dramatically since the first time and seemed to be more of a higher class store. There weren't so many jeans around and they were on racks instead of the walls. I asked a guy for Levi's in original blue jean color and straight fit. He went up to the rack and just pulled off a pair and said, here you go! They're straight fit and the color you want. I thought it was really weird that I didn't ever pick up any jeans to look at them I just kind of walked around looking at them. Then there was a woman helping me find another pair (I thought) and she walked me into an elevator type thing, at this point I had nothing but my boxers on (which I thought was real weird). So I put on the jeans I was holding and I guess my other clothes and she turned on the elevator. I thought it was going to take me to another level but instead it took me down somewhere. Then all of a sudden I had a harness on and it was clipped to the ceiling, and the elevator became really small, small enough that I couldn't stand and I was hanging horizontally. (i'm 6 feet tall and the elevator became like 5'5" tall.) Then it went up and became around 7'5" tall and I was still hanging from the top. The door opened and some guy yelled at me and pulled me out, telling me not to do that. I told him, the elevator shrunk and then grew I couldn't do anything about it! We were in the middle of the street and he was an older man with a wife and two kids, and he was pulling me out of the elevator, but I was still clipped onto the ceiling so I unclipped myself. I thought it was really weird.

Then I started walking around and ended up in some sort of shipyard area with a bunch of barrels, a crane, flavor flave, and snoop dogg. Flavor flav was blowing up a bunch of shit and I was just watching him. Then snoop dogg was there and they both were blowing up the barrels. At one point there was another guy who was supposedly dead because I saw him get shot in the head. Then he got blown by one of the blasts and flew into one of the barrels of oil that flavor flav was blowing up. Then they both started running from him screaming, "don't touch me!" He didn't seem to see me until they ran near me, then he saw me and was kind of running after me like he was them. He was a big black guy with his eyes rolled back and I could see the hole in his head where they shot him. He was also covered in oil. I dodged him a little bit and then ran around him.

Then all of a sudden I woke up (in my dream) lying in the middle of the street on top of some sort of escalator. I was in downtown San Francisco on market street. I thought, "what the hell am I doing here, I gotta get home." So I got up picked up my backpack and looked around for a bus. I realized I didn't wanna be here so I went down underground to walk through and come up somewhere else. As I was walking through I walked through an in and out, and saw a kid sitting with his friend and he had my cruiser skateboard on the table. I walked straight up to him and took it and he said, "hey thats mine!" Then I held it behind my back and said, "what kind of bearings or wheels does it have?" He just smiled and I said, "yeah that's right it's mine." He started laughing and I just walked away and said, "but you did take it without me noticing so touche." He responded with, "yeah i did! that was good." (Apparently he took it from me when I was sleeping on top of the escalator). So I walked out and walked up some stairs and found myself on Fulton street and it was really dark. I thought, well this is a really shitty place to be at this time. I looked down the street and saw a bus coming and didn't know which way I should go to get to the closest stop. I started going towards it but I couldn't see a stop anywhere, a bus pulled up but it wasn't a MUNI bus, it was like a travel bus. So I looked over the edge of the hill and saw it coming and realized I needed to go the other way, which was flat. So I started running and jumped on my board to catch it. It passed me and I was waving to it and it stopped at the stop when I was right behind it. That's where I woke up again.


Hick-town Fights
In this dream we were in sort of a hickish town. I can't exactly remember how it started but there were a bunch of kids around and two older guys. We were doing something, playing some sort of game, and one of the kids went into the mud and in this underground shaft system and came up through a hole far away on the other end of the field. I went to investigate the mud hole he went into and ended up pulling up the shaft system and pulling it out. This really pissed off the older guy and he was trying to punish me. Then another older guy who was on my side came to protect me. All of a sudden, I became the older guy trying to protect the younger person. I got into a fight with the older guy and his friend and I remember hitting them several times with a shovel. I hit them in the head a lot and also in the legs sideways. Nothing really seemed to take these guys down, but at this point it was kind of more fun to just keep hitting them really hard with a shovel. Then I remember we had it settled to meet tomorrow at the field to fight. I was walking away and he threw a smaller gardening shovel at me and I watched it come at me and I leaned slightly to the left at the last second to dodge it. I thought that was really stupid of him because now I could throw it back, and I did. I didn't hit him and he threw it back again. This is where that dream kind of ends.. (A lot of details are missing from the beginning part because I remember it being a lot longer but I can't remember them)


???
I'm not sure if this was part of the second dream, or a third dream because I woke up a few other times in the night. But I remember being at my dad's house downstairs and trying to hide from my sister because I really didn't want her to know I was awake. She is sort of a villain in this dream. (She's actually pretty much a villain in all of my dreams because we don't get along very well) I saw her moving around the corner so I moved around it, and she kind of saw me moving so it became a battle between me and her. She walked up to me and I had to pretend I was sleeping and not move at all. She kind of stood above me for a few minutes and I just lied there really still not moving. She walked away and left, and then the scene changed to a bed. I was in a bed with a friend (i can't remember who) and I was telling him about how I was trying to pretend to be asleep. He was sleeping so he didn't really say much. This is all I can remember from this random recall.


Love Song
heres another odd and random recall, I vaguely remember seeing someone play the intro to Love song by tesla. Probably because I've been trying to learn it for a while. When I saw it, I knew who it was (it wasn't Frank Hannon) and it made sense to me that I was watching him play it. For some reason I get the feeling it was Peter Griffin???
I can't embed the video... so here the link to the song!

Congrats on the lucid. Even if it was short. The elevator ride sounds like something from an amusement park. Like the Hollywood Tower of Terror or Dropzone. And the rapper zombies... Nice.

What do you think you did to get such vivid dreams? My dream recall has been crap lately.

i don't know about vividness.. they're always pretty vivid. I just don't remember small details. I can remember the genders of my DC's and if they're people I know then I can remember waht they look like because I recognize them. But if it's someone I don't know (which 80% of the time they are) then I can't describe how they look at all. It might be because I have a pretty good photographic memory.. but I truly don't know.

Yeah it felt good to realize I was dreaming and be lucid because it's been about 3 weeks, even if it did last for a split second until I woke up!

I just took a nap and fell asleep twice. i actually woke up and wasn't planning on going back to sleep but ended up falling asleep for about 30 minutes and having an LD for a short time. The Lucid part is highlighted in blue

Steve's House
The dream started out with me in my friends house and I remember telling him about how his house is really cool and the best kind in San Francisco. There are other things that happened but I can't really remember the order they happened in and they're pretty insignificant. There isn't much storyline to them at all, and then I woke up.

The date that made me go Lucid
I remember being in my friend's car and driving around the beach area. I saw them doing construction and said, "sweet they're redoing the Seacliff area and you can go all the way down to the cliff house!" Then we decided to check it out then and there even though it wasn't done and it was like an amusement park type thing. Then all of a sudden I was like on a reality show on a date with a girl or something. It wasn't really a reality show but I for some reason thought cameras were following me. She wanted to buy blue roses for her friends and they were 2 for a dollar. Then her friends came and turned out to be two really hot girls. We walked away and saw an asian store and I remember doing a funny dance. When we decided to leave we went into the parking lot and she put her arm around me and commented on how my arms are skinny. We were walking next to another couple and the guy didn't have huge arms so I said, "well look at his arms they aren't big" And then she said, "but they're funny." This was in reference to his race because he was Indian. We got into the parking lot and I was pissed off about what she was saying about me, and we got to her car. I remember that I thought it was her car, but for some reason I started to drive. Then as I got into the car I noticed a guy in the car in front of us hitting and hurting a girl in their car. I didn't really care for some reason. I was starting to slowly realize it was a dream. But also I didn't want to get involved in other peoples business. Then he looked up at us and looked really mad. So I start driving away and I back out, and go left, need to make a left turn and then a right to get out of the lot. I was having trouble turning the wheel it was really weird.. this caused me to miss the turn out of the lot. I thought to myself, "shit now I have to drive by that guy again he probably really won't like that.. oh well whatever, if it doesn't work trying to get out again I can just tell myself it's going to happen and then it will happen." Thats when I realized I was dreaming. So I swing around, still having trouble turning the wheel and decided, well why wait until I get around and just go from here since this is a LD. I remember driving by that area again but not seeing the guy. I thought, well why not try and make this car fly up out of the lot instead that would be really sick.. but then I had doubts and decided it was too hard and I wouldn't be able to do it yet. (it was kind of a feeling I just had) It was now daytime and I was driving in hawaii. It was a nice sunny day and there weren't many cars around and there were trees on the sides of the road. The girl also wasn't in the car anymore. At this point the car was now a different car that was new age and I remember hearing a girl's voice in my head telling me about it and that I had two cylinders of turbo that I could use. While driving down the street I rubbed my hands together to make things more vivid thats why I can recall that part of the dream really easily. I started going really fast and up the hill and I hit the turbo button to go really fast. My point of view in the dream changed causing me to sort of lose control. The point of view turned into like a video game again, and I was looking at a screen with really pixelated small cars and mine was going really fast. It started out with me only in the road and then there were a LOT of cars and I was zooming by them. I hit a few and they'd just fly out of the way, but I hit one really hard and then my point of view flew back into the car. I didn't want the car to flip so when it flew into the air I remember seeing the car sideways and then just somehow making it turn back the other way and land on it's wheels to keep going. At this point I saw that the car was yellow. I hadn't really lost any speed and then my point of view went back to the screen again. The car started hitting a lot of cars and eventually lost a lot of speed so I hit the turbo again and I start losing even more control over the dream. (I end the lucid part here because I was only partially lucid now, with not much control at all) I remember this part involving me going back to my house or whatever and talking to some guy. Apparently in that car I had the OG Kush strain and along with it stopping the strain died.. Then I was doing something, I can't recall what, but I thought, oh no i'm waking up don't open my eyes. But it was too late, I could still see my dream in the corners of my eyes but I opened my eyes and was awake.
(Opening my eyes from a dream to wake up when they're already open is a REALLY interesting thing that happens to me and is starting to become more interesting as I get closer to attaining lucidity more and more. I sort of had double vision of the dream and the real world.)

Congrats on the lucid!

The beginning of the date reminds me of the parking lot scene from Back to the Future, "Hey you, get your damn hands off her!"

I don't think I've ever driven in a Lucid. You make it sound like a blast.

April 22, 2008
had a migraine today.. so because of it I took a double dose of migraine medicine and took a nap. I had the migraine while I was at a field trip in Golden Gate Park at the conservatory of flowers with my botany class.

M&H
This dream was interesting, I passed out probably 30 minutes after leaving the field trip to find the two girls I hang out with in that class (and am pretty attracted to, thats why i hang out with them. and cuz they're cool) in my dream. Basically we were just chilling in golden gate park, I remember walking around and then seeing a pond type thing and we went and sat down on these rocks that were inside of it. I remember there was a dog and I think the blonde girl picked it up and brought it with us to sit on the rocks. They both started playing with the water, to which I replied, "that's pretty gross.. you know this water is filled with piss and dead birds and stuff like that?" They both didn't seem to care and continued playing with it. Then the blonde girl even lied back in it and let all her hair get wet, everything but her face. When she sat back up her shirt was tighter on her, but not wet. I remember noticing that but not really giving it too much thought. We just sat around watching people and talking for a while. It was a very realistic dream, I remember the brunette sitting on the left and the blonde on the right. I think that I woke up at some point during our chill sesh.

the pond was a LOT smaller than this, but its cool because this is actually in golden gate park.

???
I fell back asleep after that because I was still really numb from the double dose of migraine medicine. This time I remember being with my mom and sister in some sort of shopping center. I remember that we separated and my mom and sister were buying groceries or something of the sort, and that I went to ROSS for some reason. I was looking around and saw these really cool shoes that were like old and tattered retro blue basketball shoes. I remember looking for the left shoe because only the right one was out and I figured that they must keep the left one in the back so nobody steals them. This was a very vivid part of the dream as I can remember what the shoe looked like and I even remember putting it on my foot. I guess I was walking around with no shoes on because I don't remember ever taking off a shoe to put it on. Then I went outside and my mom called me on my phone and I told her I was at ross. Then I thought to myself that I wanted to go to big 5 because I wanted to get a new knife. I got into a car and started driving in the direction of Big 5 (in south san francisco.. the area that I created was basically driving from the Metro Center to Big 5). Somehow I got distracted and forgot I was going to big 5 and ended up driving through streets of a residential area where our family friends (the Kong's) live. I remember it was night time all of a sudden, and while I was almost at the house I thought, wait this isn't where I'm trying to go, so I made a u-turn to get out of the area. I also vaguely remember seeing my Auntie Judy (Mrs. Kong) directing me out of the area. I think I woke up after this because I don't really recall anything else


Upon waking up I was really disoriented because of the medicine and the migraine.. I'm really tired right now so hopefully Lucid dreams will ensue tonight!

April 23, 2008

I woke up a few times, tried to WILD.. I find it extremely difficult because I get really uncomfortable and I'm so tired that I'd really rather just go back to sleep and hit the jackpot with a DILD.

Dream 1: At least my Subconscious can still remember
In this dream I remember being in my room at my Dad's house. (NOTE: being at my Dad's house should be a dream sign because I never go there, but have noticed a pattern in me being there) Anyways, me and my friends were in my room and I was holding a clear little bong. Kevin and Jordan were there and I think maybe two other people but I can't recall them. I hit the bong, and remember it felt exactly like hitting a normal bong. Right after I hit it and was exhaling Kevin said, "dude what are you doing?!" At that instant I remembered that I was supposed to not be smoking for another 37 days. I said, "oh fuck... oh well it was just one hit, not like i'll get high anyways...." (hoping that would be the case) I remember feeling funny and actually being high and just sitting there with my friends in my old room on the floor. Thats where the dream ends.


This was a really good dream because I quit smoking on March 1st, in order to prove to my parents that I'm not addicted to it. I believe that I've proved myself already, my mom even told me that I have to her, but because I said that I would quit for 3 months, that is what I'm doing. In real life, I've pretty much forgotten what it's like to be high, and it felt really good to be able to have that feeling in my dream. Hallelujah that my subconscious still remembers what it's like to smoke weed!!!!

Dream 2: Ryan Sheckler / Lego Skate
So yeah.. basically in this dream I was apparently friends with Ryan Sheckler. I remember his two little brothers were around and we were in a giant skate warehouse. Not much really went on other than skating, which was pretty cool. I remember ryan did a inward heel to backside nose slide on a bench, which was pretty ridiculous. I remember after he did it I was like, "what the F*CK did you just do?!?!" Then I think I did some tricks on the bench, then we were in a half pipe. His brother was riding back and forth on it, and he did a ridiculously nice sex change.. that was about all that happened in there. Then I just kind of sat in the bottom of the half pipe for a while looking around. I remember the half pipe was like sealed off with posters so that nobody could really see in, I remember thinking, "oh I guess ryan likes his privacy when he's skating in here"


Then all of a sudden I was controlling lego people and having them skate. I say that I was controlling them because I was watching from a third person point of view, but felt everything and controlled them apparently because they did whatever I was thinking. I remember a kick flip back tail down a giant hand rail.

This isn't really accurate because I remember all the objects being like real life, but it's the best picture i could find

Dream 3: Trench coat man and Real skate
This dream started with me running with a man in a Trench coat. Im not sure who we was (i think it was a young christopher lloyd for some reason), but I was running with him and we were seemingly high up on a hill of ice plants. I remember that they were purple and when we got to the top there was a bunch of asian kids wrestling or doing something really stupid. I just kind of ignored them because the guy in the Trench coat did. But because I looked at them I lost him a little bit and he was further ahead and I saw him run off the edge of the ice plants and try to jump to a roof quite a distance away. He didn't make it and slammed into the wall and I thought it was pretty funny. I decided not to go for the jump because he obviously didn't make it, and started looking for a better way to go about the situation. I also didn't want to get stuck where he was because he seemed like he was stuck. I remember window sills behind him that he could climb up to get back to the top where the ice plants were, but he didn't turn around he just kept jumping and trying to get to the roof in front of him. Then all of a sudden the dream scene changed and I was in what was supposed to be my house. It wasn't my house, but my mom was there and so was my friend Timmy. I remember that there was a leak in one of the pipes and that when I told her, she got really mad at me and said it was like that for a while.. I talked to Timmy for a bit but don't remember what we talked about, then I gathered the water from the leak into a bucket and started skating down the hill from the cliff house to the beach. I was now chasing an old lady in a red jacket who was on an electric wheel chair. I remember being really pissed that I couldn't catch her because I was going as fast as I could but would always stay the same distance behind her. I remember that Timmy was following me and I think I probably chased her for about 10 minutes. She would turn around and then I'd have to turn around and keep chasing her. Finally I caught up to her and right when I did I threw the bucket of water on her and laughed a lot. Before Timmy could catch up to laugh with me I woke up.

Dream 1: Train-ride Battle / Japanese stuff?

The dream began inside what seemed to be a bunch of subway trains linked together. There were people in black suits or trench coats with sunglasses and they all had guns, and were preparing to kill another group of people on the train. I was watching all this happen as the seats seemed to pass me by (i was standing in the middle of the car) and eventually started moving with the seats. I was with a girl and whispered into her ear that basically shit was about to go down. I told her that she needed to get under the seat to be safe. I knew it was coming, and waited for it.. in a few moments everything went black and I pushed her under the seat and went under with her. This didn't really work because the lights came back on I think and then instead of killing the other people they apparently were massacring everyone on the train. They shot her a bunch of times and she died, and I remember being shot a few times (of course like in all of my dreams I don't feel pain.. just small sensations that allow me to know what is going on) and I remember they kept inspecting me and I was just playing dead so that they'd leave me alone.
I believe that at this point they picked me up and took me somewhere. Next thing I know, I'm in this giant room where one of my friends from elementary school (i've known him since elementary school but in the dream he looked like how he does now) Jeremy Francis was apparently the leader of all these kids. I knew I wasn't supposed to be there so I was sort of hiding in the background. I remember he called some kids up and what they did was pretty crazy. They would conjur a blue orb of energy and it would spin really really fast. I think they were creating worlds, and that this was not an easy task because one of the kids who did it messed up and giant brown "mountains" came out of it and Jeremy cancelled it and had the kid sit down. I don't know if I ever saw someone successfully create these worlds that were basically small replicas of earth, but I knew in my head that that's what was supposed to happen. I somehow ended up in the back of the room kind of hiding in the corner and then for some reason he spotted me. (most likely because I became conscious of where I was) He said, "WHO IS THAT BACK THERE?" I tried to hide further but it didn't really work. My recall of this part gets a little hazy but I don't think he caused me any harm. In fact I think the dream sort of changed from there and the room was a part of a big mall, and he let me go upstairs because I had to meet up with my friend.
I went upstairs and met up with Cujo outside of a Japanese restaurant. We went inside and I was telling him that I was being recruited to play on Jeremy's basketball team. (Jeremy plays for Skyline College) He didn't seem to really care, I don't remember ever eating, but all of a sudden we were supposedly working on this restaurant. I remember a big ladder and having to climb them and after climbing one to the rafters, there was a mouse just sitting there on its two hind legs looking at me. I didn't want to go up onto the rafters after that so I just climbed down and was said, "the mouse is up there." Then I remember Cujo started climbing a ladder but it wasn't resting on anything and so it started to fall over and almost hit me. I walked away and went back to a seating area where two of my friends were. One of them is a guy and the other is a girl. There was also another girl who was Japanese and probably mixed with some sort of Caucasian, and I liked her.
I have a feeling the girl friend was either Michelle or Cori, I can't recall, and I can't remember who the guy friend was. I remember we had a big plate of japanese food and I was eating slices of steak with chopsticks and everyone else was eating sashimi. We just hung around eating and talking, but of course I don't remember much of the conversation, except I remember my girl friend who was friends with the other girl telling me that the girl was interested in me. And then she also told me to guess something about a location that had to do with the Japanese girl, and then replied, "Ohio". Ohio is where I was supposed to go to play basketball because I had told them too about how I was going to play with Jeremy. I remember the girl was on her phone standing away from us when I was told this information, and then she wanted to come sit next to me. I had my feet up on the bench and she said, "don't move I'm just going to sit here" and then she sat on my legs.. I remember also that when she turned to sit on my legs she faced her back to me and I could see a good part of her ass because her skirt wasn't covering it for some reason and also her underwear. teal... i think?
Thats all I can recall so I assume I woke up.

Dream 2: Drugs!
In the start of this dream I remember being in a car with an older man (possibly flavor flav again) and Tina (my friend's mom). They wanted me to run into the store and buy them some things. The older man wanted cigarettes, and Tina wanted LSD. She didn't specify but I knew that I was supposed to buy LSD gum. So I go into this store, and its kind of dark inside, but there's people working. The guy who owns the store is an older gentlemen in his mid 40's and he's hired new kids to work for him. (I say this because I've been in this store before.. I'm not sure whether it was in a previous dream, or just knowledge that I had from being in this dream) I picked up the stuff I wanted, I picked up one really expensive LSD gum and one that wasn't so expensive. I didn't really realize I had picked up two, and when I got up to the register he said one of them was $32.57 and the other was only $15.00. I put away the more expensive one because I had to charge it on my card because they didn't give me any money. I then said, "oh, dad also wanted cigarettes." (i don't know why I called the older man dad) The guy working the register was a younger guy probably around 23 and there were two girls behind the counter also. The guy was asian, and so was his sister and then the other girl was a white girl. The guy said something to the asian girl and she pretty much ignored him and looked annoyed. He explained to me that she was his sister, and I said, "I know man, me and my sister don't get along at all either" I paid and then turned around to leave and saw the owner of the store, on the phone smoking a cigarette. This is when I knew that I had been in the store before because I looked at the window behind the counter, and could remember seeing him standing at the window smoking a cigarette. I walked out of the store and while walking out opened a pack of Rolo's and started eating some. I think they were for my sister, and when I got into the car, Cujo was in the back and my sister was in the passenger seat (i think). I gave her the Rolo's and then we started driving. It was now night time, and Cujo pulled out a zip lock bag with weed in it, and I remember looking at it and seeing weird strands that looked like uncooked ramen noodles. We talked a little bit in the car about the LSD i bought and stuff, but then I woke up.


Dream 3: Hell-boy?
I don't recall how this started, or maybe this is how it actually started. All I know is that I was in a big empty room, and felt like I was really big and powerful. What I relate it to is feeling like I was hell-boy, without being all red and stuff. I knew that someone was trying to attack me, or us (i think i was with people). There were these walls that had lines down the middle that would open. Some of them were one directional, others went both ways. Basically I went through one and found myself in a large hallway. I don't remember anything happening or me thinking anything to cause this but... Lucidity ensues. So there I am, in a hallway, nobody around.. and I've just become lucid. Im still new at being lucid, so whenever I do become lucid, I'm more interested in continuing with the dream while being lucid. Instead of controlling my dream. So I rubbed my hands together because everything started to be fuzzy and low and behold things cleared up. Then I looked at my hands because I knew I had never done this before and boy did they look funny. I think possibly I had extra fingers but I didn't notice that. I noticed that my ring fingers may possibly have been switched with my pinkys, and that my pinkys were bent outwards quite unfashionably. So then I was like sweet I'm lucid, and tried making a purple cat appear somewhere down the hall. I kind of knew it wouldn't work because I had doubt in my mind, like "what will it look like? will it be an actual cat? or floating?" I remember seeing a black spot on the ground appear where I was looking but thats about all that happened. Then I got distracted and knew I had to go somewhere so I ran through some of the walls and just kept running through walls because people were chasing me. I never saw anyone else in this dream and then I woke up.

I have noticed that after I wake up from a lucid dream I feel tired.. is that normal?

Dream 4: sort of a false awakening
The dream started in my room, my friend Jordan came in and I didn't want to wake up. Then I got hit in the side pretty hard and knew the feeling of that punch. My other friend Tim had came into the room and woke me up by hitting me. The dream was so real that while they were talking to me, I had the time to think to myself about hitting Tim for once, and I remember actually visualizing it in my thoughts. Of course I would never do this, as I am a pretty non-violent person. (Which a dedicated reader to my dream journal can probably tell because every time I am in a fight situation I usually don't fight) Tim wanted his lighters back, and I gave him a purple one and a green one. He started yelling to give him the black one, and I said, "there is no black one, thats all you have" and he fought a bit about this but eventually left. Then it was just me and Jordan in the room and I think that Kevin, Roob, and Chris were outside in the car. I don't exactly know why Jordan came in, but he ended up borrowing a rain jacket because it started raining. I remember it had the brown rain camo print from Ronin's 08 line. I also had a huge bag of candy melon ring type things that had strange patterns of many colors on the top halves. I remember eating them and giving some to Jordan to eat. I asked him where they were going and he said something about Hebrew. So I inferred that they were going to the hebrew academy (probably to get high) and he said, "no. that place that we found and we blow shit up at." What's weird is I remember getting a visual place from this statement. It was sort of a rocky area with really nothing around. We like to name the places we hang out at so that it's easier to just tell each other where we are, and also so other people don't really know what we're talking about. After this he left and I didn't go because I had to go do something (probably go to work) Then I woke up.

I thought that looked familiar. I did a huge research project on the history of Golden Gate Park, and specifically the Tea Gardens. That place has a shady semi-secret history of prostitution and slavery. It was actually built by an Australian dude, but SF is so Asian-friendly they decided to credit it to the groundskeeper/gardener because it was more P.C. Too bad the gardener was actually a pimp who used the place to peddle his whores and smuggle new girls in from overseas.

I was now chasing an old lady in a red jacket who was on an electric wheel chair. I remember being really pissed that I couldn't catch her because I was going as fast as I could but would always stay the same distance behind her.

Thats pretty god damn hilarious.

April 26, 2008

So i was really tired from work... didn't have any recall from the early part of the night, but my friend texted me and woke me up at 5 am. Then I fell back asleep and don't have any recall, then texted me again at 7 am. I fell back into a dream that was basically about me receiving yet another text and responding. Then I was on facebook or myspace or something looking at pictures. I remember my friend Ryan Leong had a picture of his dog, and at first I didn't get what the pictures were. After more carefully inspecting them I noticed that it was a sequence of photos, the first one he held a swisher in front of the dog, and the next 5 or so were the dog holding it in it's mouth shaking it's head from side to side, the last was the dog looking at the camera with an empty blunt wrap in it's mouth and the tobacco on the ground. Oh, I was also looking at pictures of my ex girlfriend from 12th grade. tha's all

April 27, 2008

My dreams have gotten very realistic lately, and this puzzles me greatly. In this dream I woke up in my mother's bed, with my friend Rubio. Apparently he stayed over night because it was so late after we went to watch the movie (Forbidden Kingdom). (In real life we actually went to watch the movie last night, but he didn't even drive me home so I don't know what the hell was going on) We woke up and I remember not knowing how we got there and why we were there. Roob got up and asked for slippers and I told him to get them out of the drawer. My mom came into the room and I told her I was sorry and I didn't know what happened. I think she was upset because she figured we were in her bed because we got really high or something. I asked her where she slept and she said she slept downstairs on the other bed. (At this point I visualized a bed that we apparently had downstairs and thought it was a good thing we had that. we don't have a bed downstairs in real life) Then my mom and I went into my room she said, "i don't know where she is.. she went away and I haven't seen her for a day." I replied, "Susie???" then I looked under my bed because there was nothing under it for some reason, and saw her paws and her face underneath my bed. I stood up and told my mom that she was hiding under my bed. (Susie died 2 and a half years ago) I woke up after this.


If only I was lucid, I would have completed the basic lucid task of the month! haha

Five Dollar Foot-Loonnnnggggg
So for the past couple of nights my recalls been really shitty... and my dreams have been way more realistic than normal. In this dream I remember being in berkeley with my friends Adam and Alex. Adam was driving the car and it was night time and we were in frat row near his house (a block away from frat row). I remember we were just sitting in the car and then on the right side of the street there was a pizzeria. A bunch of black kids came out of there and ran inside the house, along with a bunch of black kids running out of the house. At this point I was out of the car and I was in their group, and my friends Adam and Alex were gone. We went into the house and it wasn't a house anymore, it was a dance studio. There were a bunch of people dancing and the crowd wasn't all black people anymore. After a while of sitting there watching I saw one of my friends from work, the sous chef Bart, and he was teaching them. This was funny but it made sense to me at the time, we high fived and then he started hugging me and rolling on top of me. He's a big guy and I remember just thinking, "what the hell are you doing?!" This wasn't too unusual as this is what he's normally like in real life, he'll pick people up and put them over his shoulder, he's bear hugged the life out of me a few times, he's just a fun guy. But this was weird because he kind of tackled me when I was on the ground and started rolling around on top of me. As I was wondering what the hell was going on the dream scene changed to me being in a subway.
I was looking at the sandwhiches and said I wanted the spicy italian 5 dollar footlong. (I should've noticed I was dreaming because I was having trouble ordering.. didn't really comprehend what was going on) However things cleared up and I remember that two of the girls working there were really hot mexican girls. And the guy at the cash register I don't remember much about. I remember I had to pee and I think I peed in a trash can or some sort of egg shaped chair that was behind the counter while I was waiting for my sandwhich. I also noticed that I had a boner and was wearing my black basketball shorts and a black thermal. I was in the subway for a really long time and began to wonder why I was there for so long and hadn't gotten my sandwhich yet. Then I woke up.

April 29, 2008

I had no recall when I woke up, but when I was in my lab today I remembered walking up to a bunch of people sitting on the floor. I was wearing my green flannel that I bought from costco, and my friend Mario (from Lab) was wearing the exact same shirt. I just looked at him and I was upset. That's all that I could recall.

April 30, 2008

I don't recall any dreams before waking up at 4:00AM and eating a banana while barely awake. However, it did make my dreams very vivid and I probably should have went lucid a few times but did not.

One Long Dream
The dream started with me and some friends adventuring to another planet. We just landed and there wasn't anything on the plant except a giant square shaped structure. It was probably about 4 feet tall, 10 feet wide, 10 feet long. It had a cover on top, and when we pulled it off, it was a bunch of crates of boxed juice. I was with 3 friends, but only remember 2 of them. Their reactions were strange, they were extremely happy and started picking up the crates to see what was under each of them They started making like a fort with them, and I yelled at them to stop because they needed to realize they were destroying the juice, and that none of them had any food. I looked around at all of them to see if there was any food and luckily at the bottom there were 3 huge barrels of popcorn. Each crate of juice probably had about 200 boxes in it, they were like Juicy Juice boxes. The friends there were Mike, Kristina, and Timo. Out of nowhere a bunch of old people came and all of a sudden we were in a big hotel convention. I thought it was weird and apparently these people inhabited the planet. It was true because after this happened a beautiful woman who was guiding them around started talking to us. I think her name was Michelle, but i'm not sure I just remember it starting with an M. She was really hot. I remember some of the old people saying where they were from, and they were planets I had never heard of, and they were apparently brought here.
Then the scene changed and I was with a bunch of other friends, Cujo, Mike, Tim, and a bunch of friends were there. Everyone was playing a game (we played a game in lab yesterday that involved a person having a playing card, I remember gathering a few at one point in the dream) There were also a bunch of girls there with us but I can't remember any of them. There was a newspaper and everyone was reading it, the man next to me moved the page and I announced which article I was reading, but when the page turned back it was gone. Then I saw the jumble and wanted to solve it but it was already partially solved. Everyone else was solving a cryptoquip. I solved the word ULCER in the jumble, only it was spelled ULSUR. The words in the jumble did not make up any normal words that were possible, now that I think about it. Then I remember everyone was trying to solve something, but they all went to sleep. Everyone but Tim was sleeping and he was playing a guitar. I went up to him and asked him to let me play. I started playing an actual song that I've been playing a lot lately, and I was playing it pretty flawlessly. Everyone woke up at the same time and I watched them all wake up, I thought it was pretty funny. I told them they all woke up at the same time and then the scene changed.
We were now outside in a parking lot with Rob Dyrdek, Drama, (No Big Black ) Rubio, Mario, and a bunch of other people. They were skating and we all had bicycles. A girl was riding a bicycle and she was Rob's friend and he was teasing her by riding really close to her. (?) I remember watching two people who were skating or biking bumping into each other in a tackling sort of way, and denting a car. I watched this happen 3 times in a row. Then a man came out and was angry with us, I thought it was his car, but his car was a few away and it was a giant truck. He wanted to tell us something, but just got in his car and drove away. We had our bicycles chained to his rear bumper and when he drove away they pulled it off. I don't know if he noticed or anything, because the dream scene changed after this
I was now inside another convention area, except there weren't old people. I had realize that this was a reunion for the kids in High School one grade above me. All of my friends were there and I remember at one point I said, "where's rubio?" and then he showed up out of nowhere after someone ran out of the room to find him. My mom asked him if he had heart problems and he said yes, so we let him sit down and rest. More and more people that were a grade above me in high school started coming into the room, but they were all people I didn't care to talk to. Then the theme changed to my friend's family having a reunion. This happened because I was anticipating the arrival of Kristina Lau because I saw her friends, and then all of a sudden everyone sitting around the table was in her family. Her brother Derek, my friends (her cousins) Jason and Kevin, and a bunch of other people.
At this point I had an actual false awakening, my first one that I know for sure. I woke up in my bed and I had my dream journal. I started to log the first portion of the dream about being on another planet and as I was wondering about the beautiful woman, my journal disappeared. I thought it was really weird, REALLY weird, but i was still holding it so I could feel it. I strained my eyes looking for it, looked away and looked back in hopes it would return, but instead of thinking I was dreaming, the conclusion I came to was that my journal had become invisible. I continued to write and I wrote, "well now I am having trouble writing this because my dream journal has become invisible." Then I wrote some other things about the dream, I remember I wrote 3 lines total. After I wrote them I saw them written on my journal as it had reappeared. Then all of a sudden I was back into the family reunion dream scene
I was seeing how Rubio was doing, and we mexican guy, I think J.C., came by to see if we needed anything. (Now, Rubio is chinese, he isn't spanish at all) They were talking in spanish that I know was incorrect because I remember him saying to bring another book, and he said that the spanish word for book was something that started with an H. He said to go to his car and get it. I asked them to bring me a soda and chips because throughout my dreams I saw people eating doritos, which made me want them. After this I went out to his car for some reason and drove it away. I was with mike and we were at Serramonte and it was probably around 3AM. I remember it being closed, and saying to mike, "If it's closed why the hell are there so many cars here, parking is ridiculous!" I drove around and had really poor control of the car, I kept drifting and crashing into walls and stuff. Finally I parked it right in front of the mall after almost running into it and stopping an inch away from the wall, but when I was parking it and got out, it turned into a shopping cart. I moved the cart manually to make it more straight and mike pointed at the car next to us and said, "yeah right!" I responded, "What?" And realized he was probably talking about the car that had a shoelace tied around it. We were going to go inside the mall to get something even though it was closed. This is where I woke up.

It was a very very very strange dream... its good to have them back!
