Thread: Marlies Dream Journal

Awesome start!

Wow, you weren't kidding when you said that your dreams were pretty crazy. Purple flames sound awesome.

I had a dream today which was kinda lame but has been a reoccuring dream since i was a kid.. Its funny because the first time i had the dream i was probably about 8 and was probably about that age in my dream.. and as ive got older in RL so has the me in my dream. every time i dream it im my age but still in the same childs dress( only bigger)

Ok here goes...

It was set at my grandparents house, they had a christmas party happening, everyone sat around drinking wine and eating buffet food off of pink paper plates, my parents were in the conservatory talking to my grandad about the latest "spaceship" he claims he saw.

Theres a zoom in of me.. im wearing a white dress with strawberrys printed on it, my curly hair tied up with ribbon, my brother comes running up behind me ( hes still a kid every time i dream it) he says "we have to go marlie" i argue with him and say " no i wanna stay at the party" he says if you want to be ok we have to get out of here hes coming hes coming. I assume that hes winding me up and dont go with him, instead i climb up onto the kitchen counter and dig in the back of a high up cupboard and find a packet of jello..
I go through the kitchen to find my grandma to help me make it and noones there, everyone has completely disapeared.. and so has all the party food, drinks. everything exept a unopened pack of party plates..

I walk over to the plates and before i get to them my brother comes running in from the garden and shouts NOOOO dont touch them...but its too late i already have.

My dream goes completely black and everything starts again.. exactly the same up to the point of me seein the plates..

This time when i notice the plates and am about to pick them up the doorbell rings and i go to the door.. im too short to open the latch ( in real life and in my dream life im 4ft 6 ) so i call my brother and he doesnt come, i walk out to the conservatory looking for someone, calling out for just anybody to be around.. noone.. so i run to the front window to see whos there and if they will walk around the back and come in through the garden, when i pull back the blinds i saw that it was a huge man, not quite as big as a giant but too big to be a human, he looked friendly and told me he was a friend of my grandmas and that he was here for the party. something made me trust him, so i told him to come round the back.. i shut the window and turn around and hes already behind me welding an axe, hes wearing the same outfit as Oblix from the cartoon astrex and oblix.. viking hat etc..( ill post pic ) he swings the axe at me and misses, my brother appears from under the sofa and grabs my hand and leads me running out to the conservatory, once out there we slam the sliding doors shut but accidently catch the mans arm in the doors... he gets mad and u can see his breath on the glass.

My brother tells me we should run so we do, through the rest of the conservatory, through the kitchen, and up the stairs, as we are running the people that had vanished are reappearing in our way, we end up ducking through them and under there legs, but they dont seem to see or feel us at all.

Suddenly we are in the garden, in the garden shed, we can see our family and the other party guests lounging around in the sun, drinking, eating laughing, and all of a sudden we see the giant man burst through the wall of the house and straight towards the shed, Non of the guests seem to have seen it, hes standing outside looking in at us through the windows, and my brother grabs a shovel and pushes the door open and drags me out into the middle of everyone, noone can see us.

We stand there shouting and yelling at them to see us and nobody does, jumping up and down, crying,screaming almost, .. Nothing.
We start to get enveloped in a glittery mist , it gets so thick we can no longer see anything, we cling to each other tight in sadness,screwing our eyes tightly closed.

We open our eyes and are under the table in the kitchen, eating christmas cake and both confused, we sit in silence just looking at each other for signs that it actually happened.. we hear my grandma in the kitchen.. i shout for her and theres a long silence between me and my brother, praying that she could hear us again, she all of a sudden making us jump responds with "there you are you lil buggers we been looking for you for an hour, go and clean up that mess you made with the jello" i crawled out and looked at the counter, and there sat a jello, even though i had never got to make it.


Oblix.. the outfit the man was wearing exept he had a viking hat too

Im not really certain if this was a sleeping dream so much as a daydream because i dont think i was fully asleep,and it felt like i had a lot of control over what happened, i seemed to be able to choose my own paths, and i know that at one point i woke up and rolled over.

I was sat in a public library, a beatiful one with huge mahogany bookcases and gargoyles on the wall, thick dark red carpets and huge crystal chandeliers, I didnt know why i was there or even where the library was based.

I was walking around looking at random book covers and felt irritated by the sound of the air conditioner, i walked over to librarian to ask which town i was in and as i approached realised the woman had no face, just a blank space with reading glasses, i backed away hastily and headed for the door but when i got to it i couldnt open it, it didnt seem to be locked just too wedged shut, i figured someone else would have to come in soon and open the door so i relaxed and decided while im here i might as well settle with a decent book. I routed around for a while and when i pulled one off the shelf it fell open on a picture of martial arts, on closer inspection i realised it was probably ninja9578 but i think that was at the point when i was more awake than asleep, so was likely a subconsious assumption.

The next part i remember of my dream i dont even seem to be in, it was about my neice milly, she was sat in a paddling pool in my garden, having full blown conversations with noone i could see. It was night time and pitch black, could only see her faintly because the only light was from the streetlight at the back of my house, she didnt look like her but i knew it was sposed to be her, she was just chatting on and on and on, was creepy but calm, a man i dont know turned on a outside light and she turned around really fast to stop the light shining in her eyes,he walked over talking to her, saying how nice it was to see her and that he missed her, she didnt turn round, kept her back to him the whole time, she started rocking like she was scared. After quite some time she turned round and then stood up and walked straight through the man and into the house, he stood there stunned.

At this point i had one of those weird falling dreams and it jolted me completely awake.

I know the whole thing sounds kinda like a nightmare of sorts, but it really wasnt, it was overall a very peacful dream, Not the most interesting but unique all the same...

Theres no such thing as a unimportant dream i guess

Ty guys, Not the most exiting dreams to start off with but im lucky enough to have detailed ones i guess

Wow, you live on naps? You really are an insomniac.

Yep pretty much, i dont often go to bed and stay there for more than an hr at a time, i nap a lil then get up for a while and maybe go back, quite often tho if ive actually "gone to bed" and by that i mean actually bothered to turn everything off( usually when i go to bed i dont turn pc or tv or whatever off cause i expect to be up within an hr) i sleep half hr then get up for a while then keep forcing myself to go back to bed.

More often than not tho, recently i nap twice in the evening for half hr to an hr... then nap about 6am for maybe an hr.. then im up for the day, and nap just inbetween.

I know it sounds like it completely sucks.. and it can do.. especially if im not at home, like if im on vacation and theres nothing to in the middle of the night and i just have to lay there.

But it has some plus points.. my dreams are crammed into short spaces of time so i almost always remember them pretty much in detail.

Disapointing today, Nap 2 of the day i dont recall any dreams at all, and Nap 3was so vague that im struggling to piece it together, Someone reccomended I keep pen and paper next to my bed so i can write down any key words that might help me remember the stuff that fades after a few minutes of waking... i Tried it and it didnt work really, i jotted down 6 words when i woke up and i have no idea what they were meant for now lol. But anyway heres the words...

Shark

Charlie( was my best mate for years )

Sex

Churchyard

ocean

sandmite


so unless it was about my friend charlie having sex with a shark, getting eaten and then having a funeral at the churchyard.. i have no clue lol

sometimes I don't remember my dreams at all, but usually something will randomly trigger me to remember the entire dream. So maybe you should think what about the words you wrote down, and maybe it will all flood back to you. good luck

Thanks for the advice i usually remember really well but todays naps have been a blur, im thinking maybe i just slept deeper than im used to,cause i think half the time when i dream im more awake than asleep so it registers better in my memory.

May I add? The more keywords, the better.

Lol yeah, i think i actually fell asleep again while writing the last word cause it kinda ended up stretched to the other side of the page,and i still had the pen in my hand when i woke up so was probably gonna write more, but will def try and write as much as possible next time.

I just had a nap actually, with not much memory of a dream, This usually happens towards the weekend, i guess my bodys more relaxed not having work and I sleep deeper.

Work eh? So that's why you need naps!

How's the insomnia by the way? Is it getting any better?

Lol i doubt it ever will, been the same since i was a kid, i`ll probably always cat nap, truth be told id probably freak out if i had a full nights sleep without being medicated, that hasnt happened since i was about 7.

Oh my god!

I feel so sorry for you! You havn't had real sleep since you were seven?

Lol i do with medication when i get really pissed off , just try not to if i can help it.

I try and just nap as often as my body allows and meditate in between... ( thats normally where most my dreams come from.. the state between meditation and sleep.

Ahh, yes, I think I know that state.

cool journal so far im glad you can remember your dreams because of the insomnia (silver lining) and that whole purple fire thing was cool (purple owns its prob my fav color)

Irritating sleep, i managed to nap after about an hr of lying there gettin agitated and woke up after just 25 minutes. But at least i had a peaceful dream .....


I was sat by a river, a huge one with floating white lilys and oversized bullfrogs, the sun was shining brightly on the water, the grass was really dark green, like almost black and so soft it felt like silk on my skin.

I looked across the lake and could see beavers swimming across with twigs and branches,it was like my own version of heaven, the flowers were in abundance but for some reason all of them were white,i could see wild moose milling about in the horizon, i remember thinking at one point "im lucky to be here"

In the distance a canoe came slowly along the river, and i could see a old man in a cowboy hat and cords, he tipped his hat at me and then stopped rowing at the bank of the river,he started pulling out a heavy chain from underneath the water and on the end of it was a trapped beaver, he then got out of his canoe and dragged it up onto land.

I think i lost a part of my dream after that because the next thing i saw was a big cane ring with beaver fur stretched across it, and its head on the floor close by, the old man was sat with a gaptoothed grin stirring a pot of something on a manmade fire.

My dream switched to a phone call, me and my friend shona chatting about her new house, then even though im on the phone to her already my phone starts ringing and her name flashes up.

Thats where i woke.

Lucid dreams have come pretty easily to me since i started aiming for them a couple of years ago,once i had my first one i realised id had a few of them before without realising what they were.The main problem i have is staying asleep once i have the awareness that im in a dream, my natural instinct is to start waking up and sometimes i can pull it back for a while but never for long i always kick myself when i do. If anyone has any advice on staying in the dream id appreciate it.
In my couple of years of lucid dreaming ive only had 4 which ive been able to stay in until i was ready to leave.

I was in a big house, was more like a big art studio, with a big wooden stair case in the centre, I walked over to the window and could see like a big warehouse across the road with 8 guys hanging around outside smoking and drinking beer, they saw me looking at them and they started pointing over at me i ducked down embarrased. I stayed under the window sill for a few minutes and then slowly peered up to see if they were still looking. They were heading towards the window, i panicked and pulled the curtain across but it fell down. The doorbell rang and i ran to the door to make sure it was locked, before i got to the door it burst open and one of the guys walked in, i ran behind him and locked the door so none of the others could come in, and i shoved the key in my pocket, he didnt seem to see me do this.

I could see the other men crowded at the window trying to see what was happening, i ran up the stairs and at this point i became lucid.
I turned to the guy and said, "try your best" he was behind one step below me so i tried to push him down the stairs, i wasnt strong enough ( normally when i dream im unable to fight i seem to have no strength) he advanced towards me on the stairs and i turned around and just walked off and made myself invisible then walked past him on the stairs and open the door and out of it, and stood and watched all the other guys run in.
I then locked the door from the outside so they were trapped in there, and walked over to the window they had been peering in and flipped em off through it lol. one of em picked up a chair to throw through the window but i stopped it breaking with my mind.

At this point i started to wake up and fought like hell to stay lucid ( i had so much more i cudda done to them fkers)
but my body won and i woke up

When i checked my emails today i had an email off a very close friend of mine, describing a dream she had about me and her walking on the beach, splashing around in the sea, chatting between us and just having a blast, I made it my mission to get there in a lucid dream and join her.

I wasnt quite asleep at first so im not sure if you can really count it as a lucid dream ( more like a lucid day dream i guess for the first chunk of it)
I started out by meditating and picturing the scene, she wasnt there at first, was just me walking along this tropical beach, paddling in the ocean as i walked along, my hair all tousled and wearing a shell necklace, a really nice cool breeze, and noone else was there, just a deserted tropical island all for me. It took me quite a while to summon up my friend and i think trying too hard was what kept me from falling asleep, so i stopped trying to call her for a while and then ended up at a house with lots of cats outside it ( it was then i realised that i was fully lucid) I also realised that this was sposed to be my friends house because she rescues stray cats.
Now in fully lucid state i knocked on the door and her husband answered, i gave him a huge grin and hug and asked him where my friend was, he said to go round the back because thats where id find her, i walked around the back of the house and there she was lying in the back yard in a swimming costume that me and her had both googled and said we wanted, she was lying drinking a tall glass of tequila on a sunlounger with sunglasses on her head and an old beachtowel with a cat on it.

I approached her and spoke to her for a while and told her that I am in a lucid dream so for one day only we can do whatever we want, she looked at me bemused and said this isnt a dream marlie this is real life baby, i said no! i wanted to prove it to her but i wasnt quite sure how. I havent done an awful lot of "magic" in my lucids so far but i managed to summon up myself a drink.. she looked shocked and said omg marlie so i dont exist?
I said of course you exist, but im dreaming and i can do whatever i want with you today, and then made a joke that she better be wearin a chastity belt lol.

I walked over to her and grabbed her hand and shut my eyes tightly and said "let it happen or ill wake up, dont fight me" I felt her hand relax in mine and when i opened my eyes again we were laying on some rocks on the beach, I could feel myself starting to wake up, and fought it like crazy, there was no way i wanted the dream to end now, so i stopped trying to control it and i think i lost lucidity about then.

*normal dream continues* We walk along the beach, hopping in and out of the waves and end up hitting a bar at the end of the beach, we go and buy some cocktails ( although i dont remember paying for them) we sat and chatted about our friends shawn and wendy and i was asking her about how things had gone with the meet she had offline, with 3 of her very close online mates.

Next thing i know we are back at her house and im lucid again, and extremely aware that im about to wake up. I hug her tightly and tell her i will see her tomorow night if i can but that she wont know about it unless i tell her. she seemed kinda not like her at this point,kind of hard,she didnt seem like she was bothered that i was leaving ( absolutley not like the real life version of her) I shout through the house goodbye to her husband and woke up instantly.That was by far the most ive ever done in a lucid dream, the first time id dreamt myself to another location, and it makes me exited to try again. but i find that if i try too hard i cant stay lucid so i need to try and forget about it and hope it comes to me again naturally

Overall... AWESOME dream day.

2 lucid dreams in a day. I wish I could do that

Lol i wish i could do it again twice in a day.... I bet i cant

twice in a day is awesome.. how often do you have them?
