Somewhere over the rainbow,skies are blue,and the dreams that you dare to dream,really do come true

My dream journal. I'm finally ready to get serious about LDing again and I believe that means starting from the beginning, which is this DJ. My dream recall is not where it should be, and this is my attempt at focusing. So hopefully I will have something to share tomorrow morning!

[Xox]

Good luck!

[GestaltAlteration]

Yes, and very good attention grabber...

[kichu]

Thanks guys! So I'm sad to say that I can barely recall last nights dreams. I woke up for just a sec in the middle of the night and remembered quite a bit, but by the time I woke up it had faded, and now I can barely remember anything. I can see an image in my mind that I can't put into words and I keep thinking my mom had something to do with my dream. But that's about it. However, I have a feeling that even writing this down will help jog my memory at some point and something else will come to mind. Oh, also, I keep picturing a swing set. And I have the feeling that the dream wasn't all too pleasant. So... - Mom was in the dream - Swing set was possibly involved - Probably not a pleasant dream Ok, that's it for now.

Well, its a start, i hope to start a dream journal soon when i start getting some better dreams. Just keep posting your dreams and updating, i would love to hear some more detailed ones when you remember them. Oh, a good way to remember your dreams in more clarity is to either jog your memory as you wake. Erm, you could also try a combination of lying down whilst listening to some calm and relaxing music, it can help clear your mind and allow your dreams and thoughts to be more ordered and controlled. Just don't give up on it.

[kichu]

Well, I used to do really well with dream recall and was getting pretty good at LD's and then life just took over. A big personal issue/situation has changed, so I'm hoping to be able to focus on this more now. And I think my mind will be more clear in general than it has been in the past year as a result of the change with this situation. Sooo.....I'm thinking every night will be a little better and I'll be back on my (LD) feet in no time! I plan to record even the tiniest fragment of a memory of a dream every day. I think that's my best bet. I've also been telling myself throughout the day today that I'm going to remember my dreams tomorrow morning, and I plan to repeat that as I fall asleep.

[kichu]

So I totally went blank as soon as I woke up this morning, even though I knew that I had just had some crazy dreams. So I sat in bed and pushed and pushed my brain....and POP! It all came to me. The one thing I don't have a lot of clarity on is that my ex was in my dream, but I don't know what he was doing or anything. But I do know he was in the dream. Other stuff is hard to explain but I can see it. I was in some sort of dingy house for most of the dream, and then at some points the house was the site of a rave, and people were just filling the place up. I recall one student from the college I worked at was there. And at one point, I was trapped in a room with some tall, ogre-type scary guys and they were freaking out and tearing the room apart and I had to climb on top of furniture to get out of the way. I think that was because of a scene I had just watched in Dexter before I went to bed. That's about it. Not too great, but better than yesterday! Like I said, I think everyday will bring just a tiny bit more in the way of recall. So yay!

So I totally went blank as soon as I woke up this morning, even though I knew that I had just had some crazy dreams. So I sat in bed and pushed and pushed my brain....and POP! It all came to me. Hah. Same thing happened to me this morning. I've been having some very poor recall as of late (As well as a terrible lack of vividness and quality). Oh, and good job getting away from those ogre-guys. Also Dexter is a great show.

I've been having some very poor recall as of late (As well as a terrible lack of vividness and quality). I'm sure I heard it on here somewhere that peppermint is supposed to work to make dreams more vivid, so I had two cups of peppermint tea before bed last night. I don't know how much I believe that kind of stuff, or about b6 vitamins or whatever, but I can't help but think that it had something to do with it. It just took a little bit and then this RUSH of images swarmed my brain and they were so weird and vivid. And compared to the night before, where I had to really stretch for any kind of memory....I dunno...it's interesting. Needless to say, I'm working on a cup of peppermint tea right now! Oh, and good job getting away from those ogre-guys. Thanks. I can be REALLY tough sometimes. Also Dexter is a great show. You know, I just can't decide what I think about that show. Yes, I've watched the entire first season in the last two weeks, but sometimes it's soooo corny, and that guy that's on to Dexter is SO insanely intense and dramatic, it's like...ugh, WHY am I watching this? I guess I just really like the concept of the show. The first couple episodes really tripped me out, I couldn't get over that he was a serial killer but in forensics.

[kichu]

Hmm...not a lot to tell this morning. I recall that a professor from the college I worked at was in my dreams, and we both ran into a girl that I work with right now and he called her a bitch or some other name, and when I asked why, he said that they dated and she cheated on him. Also have a memory of something else, but the image isn't coming to me. I can sort of see a blur of a scene but can't put it into words. It's just right there. I don't know, I'm walking through some building or something....ooh! Ok, one of my boyfriends friends is in it. He's throwing a party or something...hmmm...I'm sure there are other people that I know, but I can't picture who they are. I think my boyfriend is in it too. I can see a really big hall or room, and that's where his friend is having this party or whatever it is. Hmm...ok, I'm stuck. I think that's it. Bleh - how boring. I can't believe I let it get to this point, where my dreams are so lacking in coolness and my recall sucks so bad. I used to be so good at this stuff. Poo.

My dreams were sooooo amazing and vivid last night. It was like watching a movie in bits and pieces. Anyway, the movie takes place in France. I was going on a trip for some reason, I don't know why France though, it's not somewhere I think about going. Oh! I know why! Because I was watching the OC before I went to bed and Taylor was going to Paris, or coming back from Paris, or whatever. Ah ha. Anyway..... So I was in France somewhere, and I can't remember who was with me, but I think it was just a couple of girlfriends. We were staying at some house that was located on a mountain or hill or something. I should also mention that the weather was beautiful throughout the entire dream. The sun was shining and it was this sparkling, pale yellow color that saturated the entire dream. Ahhhhh......so soothing just thinking about it. So we arrived at this house and we were unpacking our things and getting ready to go out on the water somewhere, but I had to do take care of some things before we left. There was a kitten and a baby and a couple of other "things" (other animals? other babies? can't remember) that I was supposed to look after for someone. So I started making the rounds to take care of everyone. I went to the baby in it's room where it was in it's crib, and I took it's diaper off to change it, but then I left it and moved on to the kitten, which was in it's room in a huge cage. I started taking it's water and food bowls out, but never replaced any of it with food or water. Then the dream shifts to being out on a boat somewhere out in the middle of this beautiful body of water. The water is perfectly wavy and it's this great blue and white color, and again the sun is spectacular. I remember that there was a lot going on out there. We were floating on those floaty water things, but I can't remember what we were doing out there. Then all of a sudden I remembered the baby and realized that I had left it unchanged and unfed, and the kitten and the others too. So I told my friend and she said it was ok because "my mom's house is just a few minutes away." I got a little upset because I started wondering how I was supposed to take care of them, but still enjoy my trip. And how was I even going to take care of them to begin with since I would be out all day every day? Was it ok to leave a baby in it's crib by itself all day? At some point in the dream I also worried that I wouldn't have enough money for the trip back home, but my friend told me that it was only $260 for a ticket back home, which was good because I had about $900 left for the entire trip. There's one image in the dream where my friend and I are sliding down some stair/slide thing on a air mattress thing together and there's water everywhere. I can see handrails on either side, and I think we go down two sets of these stair/slide things. Around us kind of looks like a water park. There's another scene where we're walking around some kind of town and there's a festival going in, and we're in the middle of it. Can't recall too much from it. I can also see another part of the dream, but can't recall details or describe any of it. Hmm..... That's it!

[kichu]

Poo. Going to bed at 4am and drinking too much = no dream recall.

[kichu]

Wow, super crappy recall. I think it might have to do with how tired I was during the day yesterday. I did NOT feel good. Went to bed way too late and had too much to drink. I tried to nap in the evening, but never fell asleep and got that weird buzzing feeling all over my body. Ugh. I just felt gross. Soooo....hopefully tonight will be better. I do remember just a tiny bit though. I think my mom was in my dream, no idea why or doing what, but pretty sure she was there. I also think I had sex with someone. Or we were doing things that involved sex happening very shortly. I recall being groped. Anyway... That's about it.

[Burned up]

That must be annoying. Having sex and not remembering it in the morning.

[kichu]

That must be annoying. Having sex and not remembering it in the morning. That might not be a bad thing sometimes. Dreams - I had a couple of really good nights with recall this week and I made notes of everything, I just haven't had a chance to log it here. I've been sick and sleeping very poorly, so that's affected things. Can't remember anything from last night, however, I did remember something this morning but it's gone now. It was very minute. Something about pants? And my mom? Arrgghhh......I can see it, it's right there. Something to do with work? My boss....someone not being happy with something I did? My mom saying something and then turning her back on me? Blah...I almost feel like I'm making up all of that stuff. I swear it'll pop into my head at some point today. Anyway, I'll post my notes from my previous dreams in a bit.

[Dewitback]

I should also mention that the weather was beautiful throughout the entire dream. The sun was shining and it was this sparkling, pale yellow color that saturated the entire dream. Ahhhhh......so soothing just thinking about it. wow, that does sound really soothing. I've had dreams like that where the scene is saturated in a some sort of feeling, much like the sun saturating your dream. Poo. Going to bed at 4am and drinking too much = no dream recall. tell me about it.

[kichu]

I'm lazy so I won't go into detail, I'll just do point form so I remember my dreams. But I had a ton last night. - Elevator going to 133rd floor, 4 other people, building tilting, going back down and getting stuck - Being in a mall I used to live near, some restaurant - Either Foxy Brown or Lil Kim, in the back of a hummer having a threesome, my boyfriend and I talking to her, her getting out of the car and stealing some ridiculous piece of bling from another car and saying "this is baller!"

[kichu]

Wow. Almost 3 months since I last did this. Ok, here a couple of vague details from last night: - Ran into a girlfriend I used to work with. She was wearing glasses (which she doesn't normally) and she was at a funeral. She was crying and telling about the person that had passed away. - I think I was going to meet my friend Andrea. - I may have been in a mall at some point. I almost think the funeral was at a mall. - Ooh! Yes, a mall. That just jogged my memory. I remember seeing some sparkly, flashy, stupid runners that I would never buy, but I think I tried them on. - I think my mom was in my dream. What I'm happy about is that when I woke up this morning, for the first time in a while, I wasn't upset. I wasn't getting over some bizarre dream with disturbing images. I remember being in the bathroom thinking about what I had dreamt about and thinking, "that wasn't so bad." That's huge. Yay!

[kichu]

K, This if for the last couple of days: - I passed my ex on the street, just walking down the sidewalk. I think I made a goofy face at him or something. - I was working at a McDonalds-like place, but it was an upscale clothing store or something. All silver and kinda futuristic looking. I was taking someone's order and I forget what he did to piss me off, but I fingered him, told him to fuck off, and walked off the floor. - In that same building, I was walking down the hallway and it still looked the same, futuristic and silvery, but outdoors at the same time. The floor became muddy, quicksand, and I started sinking into it. And when I started sinking into it, I was being chased by someone/something and was getting panicked and trying to climb out but it just kept going and going, and I couldn't get out. I almost think I see a guy with curly hair and glasses chasing me as I'm trying to get out of the quicksand. - I can picture being chased or something, but can't see the scene. I can feel another part to the dream, but it won't come to me. Being chased? Someone....tall? Hmmm.....I'm really reaching. I can see it. But I can't. Boo. Okay, goodnight! HA! I remember something! I dreamt about my Babcia. Awww.... She wanted to buy me something and we stopped at a little necklace stand and found these necklaces where the pendant was a rectangle shape and it was white, and the image on top was black and took up about half of the pendant from the bottom to the middle. I either wanted one where the image was a silhouette of a pin-up girl, or the image was lips doing a kissy thing. But my grandma wanted to get me the one that had a rose on it. That's it. Aww.....my babcia. That made my night to remember that. Maybe I'll try to make that necklace.

[kichu]

Can't remember anything. At all. But when I sit in front of the computer and just type random stuff and think about what I was dreaming, something usually comes through. So now I'm typing, trying to remember. What did I dream about? Dream, dream, dream, dreeeeaaaaam...... I think I woke up in the middle of the night for some reason and got up. Was I dreaming before that? Did I have a scary dream? I'm usually trying to escape from someone or something, did I dream about that again? BLAH!! This isn't working. You suck brain.

[kichu]

I remembered my dream last night for a second today and I've already forgotten. I'm pretty sure it's about someone I knew, I can sort of see an image of someone. A guy with glasses and kinda long, straight, spikey hair and it's this browny-blonde color and looks like it's been streaked or something. Ugh, I swear I just remembered a few hours ago. Oh well.

[kichu]

I remembered a bit of the dream I was talking about in the previous post. - There was a pool and I wanted to go swim but there was no water in it. But I thinking it ended up filling up later on. - I was with my friend Lindsay and she had a pinata or something, and we were going through all the stuff that came out of it and I was finding $100 bills but wasn't telling her, and then I picked one up and handed it to her and it ended up not being money anyway. Last night: - Something about racing around in cars I think. This may have to do with playing Mario Kart. Hmmm...can't remember anything else for now.

[kichu]

Remembered one thing from last night. I was showing my best friend, who I'm going to be a bridesmaid for, a bridesmaid dress that had a top that looks similiar to what Elisha Cuthbert is wearing on the cover of this month's Maxim. That's it.

[kichu]

I was getting mad at my boyfriend for being too goofy, so I took off but then somehow we were walking together and I just turned around and said, "you know what, I don't wanna go for drinks with you," and I stormed off back home. I think I was also making veggie burgers and tater tots for someone.

[kichu]

- A guy I went to high school with was in my dream. I bought us some chicken from KFC. He wanted a "7 piece set." I ended up getting charged for 22 pieces, which came to $55. He was working in a hotel or something and when I first saw him he was giving his team a pep talk and being all crazy energetic.
