Oh my god, I love that Dream Journal introduction. Mind if I copy you for my next year's Journal?

I'm glad you liked it, Jdeadevil .

Now let's move on to my first Online DJ Entry. Not a big one, but it's a start:

Spam Alert!

I created this DJ yesterday, right before I went to bed. I guess the idea of managing an OnDJ was still in my head.

I've dreamt about DV for the first time today! When I boot up my computer, the first thing I do is to pay a visit to Dreamviews. When I arrive, I see that there are two replies on this topic, both containing two spammers leaving their emailadresses, but I didn't mind really. Too bad I didn't write them down (I could read them though!), because when I checked later that night they completely flooded this topic with spam uptil page number 3! Wanting to delete this bullshit, I searched and searched through all functions on these forums, but I found no way to rid myself of these annoying two people. So much for order and neatness, I guess. Damn you, anonymous spammers!

The Zoo

Although my feeling says I'm in a zoo, the scenery looks more like a big festival. There are no animals whatsoever, but apparantly that's fairly normal for this type of zoo. Anyway, I don't remember much of this dream, except for the fact that I met an asian girl there. We keep meeting each other, uptil the moment she's suddenly my girlfriend. No romantics, no kissing, sex, or whatever, she just is. (I don't have a girlfriend in real life.)

The Flower Parade

Before I start blathering about this flower parade (which I'm not because this is a rather short dream), I must mention that I live near a place called Zundert, where they every year hold the biggest annual Flower Parade (Bloemencorso in dutch) in the world. One of my best friends lives in Zundert, and this corso really is a way of living for those people.

http://www.bloemencorsozundert.nl/ (you can change the language in the white space on the left)

I'm standing on a large public square with lots of people. The crowd's waiting for something to happen, and they're all eagerly whispering to each other. Then a man walks to an empty space in the middle, and everyone silences. He opens up a sheet of paper and starts reading. Apparently, these are the results of the corso of this year:

"Molengracht...7th!"

Applause.

"Stuivezand..wait... - another 7th?"

The man looks confused. He retreats to have a chat with the other judges, and then gets back "on stage".

"I'm sorry people, it seems someone made a mistake. We'll make adjustments, and let you know the real results in about fifteen minutes." The guy retreats and my dream fades.

Christ, that was a long dry spell. It almost got me to the point as to where I'm not writing my dreams down at all! I made a promise with myself though; I AM gonna master the skill of LDing

Grass

I'm with the 'concertgoers' (Whenever I'm going to a metalconcert it's with a standard group of people.). We've just driven off from a McDrive (or whatever it was), and are hitting the road again. Next stop: Graspop (linkie). After a long drive we finally arrive at camping Hamperen, which I've never heard of. However, in my dream it sounds familiar, because my aunt and uncle seem to camp there every year.

The Cinema Musical

I'm find myself in 'the big city', being left there from a previous dream. While strolling through the streets, I encounter a couple of unknown friends. They say they've played a big role in a recently shot movie, and they're actually going to the premiere right now. I decide to not let this opportunity pass, and follow them. We enter the cinema, and get seated. However, as it appears this is no ordinary room. The further you're removed from the screen (and we're seated on the last row), the more you get a feeling of nausea, as if you're sitting on the ceiling. The film starts, showing images of a sinking ship (with darkish green painted wood and lots of splashing water), and after a couple of minutes (I'm half in the cinema, half in the movie at this moment) I decide I'm not very fond of the nausea thing and start a search for more comfortable seats.

The closer I get to the screen, the more I blend into the movie. I find myself underwater now - the ship has already sunk - in a more cheerful world consisting of happy, singing fishes and talking octopuses (in the style of Disney's The little Mermaid) and when I look at myself I see I've changed into a long, bright yellow fish with spikes on it's back. I feel like I'm the star of the movie now, swimming around and making my way even deeper into the stony caverns of the sea. Then, I get attacked. By a swordfish. Or rather, a daggerfish. This small little critter actually looks like a small floating dagger with a fin and is more of a nuisance than a danger to me. However, because I don't want to be plagued by it for the rest of the movie, I kill it by piercing it on my back (the spikes, remember? ^^). After going on, meeting some more singing octopuses and other scarily happy forms of sealife, I arrive at a huge castle. I ascend the walls (as a fish!?) and reach the top.

Savepoint. Loading Level 2. - ...Apparently the film has changed into a game.

I find myself inside the castle now. I immediately get the feeling I'm not allowed to be in here, and I can see patrolling agents and security camera's everywhere. I make my way to the first door, but get caught. The alarm starts beeping (red lights everywhere), and I flee. I'm searching for a hidingplace, and when I run past a table I stop and crawl under it. Slowly, I'm transforming back to my normal, human form, holding some sort of device. It's producing a loud noise. This machine's probably the thing that made me change into my fishform. If I don't get it to stop making alarming noises soon, the guards will surely find me. Hastily, I look around me, and find another one of those things. This one's not beeping though. And, more important, whose is it? There's no one here besides me. Or is there? Apparently, the daggerfish was a human all along too, dead by now. That's why his machine's not beeping. I take his, and place it over mine (to mute the sound). It seems to work, and the securitylevel drops.

In the mainmenu, I can choose between all the different lifeforms I have unlocked (next to the fish, I've got the evaluated land form of the fish and a new blueish...thing). I take the new landform of the fish, and start exploring the building again...

Thievery

I'm a burglar today . The house I'm breaking in is my neighbour's (although in my dream it's from an entirely different person and an entirely different house). The first time everything goes alright. I didn't steal anything, but that wasn't the plan anyway, I'm just doing this for the thrill. And a thrill there is. However, the second time 'they' see me, and I flee.

Tol - (21st of May, Mom)

It seems there are some problems at my school. There's a sort of war going on, students against the teachers. The latter party keeps changing rules for the worse without notifying the rest of the school and not listening to what we want. I've decided to change this and try to start a conversation about this topic with Mrs. van Tol, a mathteacher I coincidentally run into in the hallways. We get into an argument and both agree that it's best to solve (read: fight out) this after schooltime. And so we do.

A couple of hours later, we meet again in some sort of hangar. I brought my dad, boss and someone else (can't remember who the third person was). The action starts. It appears Mrs. van Tol has superpowers (never knew that ), and so we fight long and hard to determine who's right. Not really a politically correct way of discussing, I know, but meh. After lots of attacks from both sides, it looks like I'm going to win. Evil overlord Van Tol gets tired, and flees to strike again at a later moment (I'll be back! ).

I've already hidden myself in the restroom before Van Tol gets back with a bazooka or something, when suddenly we hear pianomusic from outside. We climb on the roof and watch what's happening. There, outside, everyone sees her new tactic, and it's a good one at that. I can see a totally different woman than before (still Van Tol, though. Don't know why or how, but I just knew), blond, and with huge breasts, bending over to be able to see what she's playing. She's got the deepest decollet&#233; I have ever seen in my life. My dad and boss fall for it immediately, staring out in front of themselves like brainless zombies. I, however, see this is a trap, and kick her ass (what a fine ass! ).

Later we get to hear this has all been recorded and now playing in the cinemas. I'm a hero. In a second dream I pay a visit to Van Tol, a year later, to talk everything over and see how it all went.
