My dreams and their progression

[sleepingdog]

edit; no more will be added. Sleeping problems and some new sleep medication. I was very tired but couldn't sleep. I went from being awake to being in a dream in a blink. I was in a tunnel, then I'm in horrible fear, overwhelming terror, and I feel my whole body shaking. I recognize that I'm sleeping and 'turn off' the fear, then my body is calm and I am in incredible peace, could change the colors of the tunnel at will. turned fear back on, then off, then on (my body shaking again when I changed to fear) it was fun and then it woke me up. I was fully aware at all times that I was dreaming and had good awareness of my sleeping body. fast forward. no more medication. I'm in a jungle village with many people around me, by a river, in a clearing. We get attacked by what I understood as zombies, but they moved normal and could communicate. As the people are getting killed, I see a hut by the shore that is raised by stilts, it's open save for the roof. There sits a short table with a sword. I go there and pick it up. I was looking to kill them off, but one of them takes a woman by the arm and leads her down a dark tunnel off to the side, I follow at unreal speed, moving like thought, and reach him and cut his arm off. He does nothing, I pick up his arm and hand it back to him, telling him to leave and never return. Here everything changes, I go somewhere, or somewhere comes to me, but I am in a total dark room and there's someone behind me. I can see him clearly, he wears samurai armor, with big horns and a mask. this is just a second. the next is a feeling that I can't describe, but I swing at him with all my might, impossibly fast. he draws and blocks with his own sword and the ringing noise wakes me up and lingers around. fear or dread or just a recognition, dunno, he gave a strange feeling that lead me to attack him, but it wasn't fear like usually. hard to remember and hard to describe.

shortly after the village dream. dreaming of my own house, there is a mass exodus of people but me and a few others decide to stay. Afterwards there is a commotion outside, it strikes me as danger and I reach for a sword by my door. I step outside and a child is on the roof, hunched over and looking towards me. He's zombie-like. It launches towards me and I draw my sword, but it sticks in the wood casing and I club the kid in the chin with it instead, knocking him out. the case breaks at the tip, showing the blade. ends. dreaming of a beach. woman with long matted black hair, with torn rags and huge claws on her hands, chases me around the sand. i turn around and swing a sword that I hadn't had before, she dodges my blows and runs away. dreaming of the inside of a wooden building. It's a school. There is a thick and padded wooden pillar in the middle of the room. There are two people there with swords. i practice hitting the pillar. They plan to go battle somewhere, I decide to come but they don't want to take me. just examples of my sword dreams, later I would have a hard time finding the sword again. I would be stuck in more complex dreams without it because the nightmares would no longer shock me to the point of making me use it. It usually turned into a more oppressive, and less terrifying experience. subdued but still very creepy.

sleeping in a house not my own. it's safe and nice. there's a knock on the door and i go see. People overflow into the entryway, all familiar to me. It' like they are trying to crawl out of a hole, the whole doorway was filled with people stuck at their waist trying to fit through. I go to my room and grab my sword and chase them back and close the door. They did not seem like the people I knew. dreaming of a house not my own. I share the house with another guy, but I know he's dangerous and I tried to lock the doors to keep him out. some other people are with me, unrecognizable, but friendly. I present them all with weapons so that we could fight. One of them picks up my sword with interest, he's sly about it, I take it back. My door breaks and I drive a car with another person to the store for another. It's a mad dash to get there, crashing through fences and going down alleys at night. fuzzy here, but there is no fight and the door gets fixed. I find myself inside a palace, with a double staircase leading up to a balcony from each side of the room, that itself lead elsewhere. At the bottom with me, on the opposite stairs was the 'roommate', a total stranger. He's very angry and he says "Come here!" and points at the ground. I get furious and "wake up", moving like a thought to him and poking out his eyes with my fingers. He cries out in great pain. Then another guy shows up on the balcony, one of my actual roommates, he smiles and says "you pushed him too far". I'm confused and with no threat, do nothing. ends. dreaming of the end of the world. I hide inside the ceiling of my room as all kinds of monstrous creatures search out for people. Creatures of all shapes and sizes, but most were giants, and they came in various pastel colors. A small scrawny one came into my room, the was a body laying on the ground in the center of the room, below me, and he took this as a sign that there was no one there. I was very scared. dream ends and changes. dreaming of an empty neighborhood. me and my family live there and we decide to leave because there are horrible things coming. on the way out I run into a huge figure in the shadow of the window. I get angry, it's a response to being threatened in that horrible way, and walk up to him and press his monstrous face into the window where the full moon was in view. fuzzy, but he backs down or disappears. I drive my family away. dreaming. I get invited to see the castle of this beautiful woman. She's calm and very polite, but withdrawn. I kiss her and she smiles. Tall with black hair and a long dress. I'm instantly in love. She takes me on a tour of her castle, and leads me to the basement. She calmly points out the workings going on there. I see body parts everywhere, moving on their own, arms and legs mostly, with torsos bouncing around, don't remember any heads. They were meticulously destroying a book, and there were devices there for this. Like a factory, and in the end was a furnace, though none of the pages went there, instead they were all ripped and torn. A sense of dread and fear takes over me and I make myself wake up. (the only time since my first lucid dream where I pushed out of a nightmare in fear). dreaming. inside a small dark colored room. there are a lot of people here, but somehow everyone can move around. there's a man in the center. he dresses in a funny scientist suit, with a small hard hat and a pair of special glasses. He's ordering everyone around. go here, go there, and different people move at different times. I'm the only one refusing to move. i'm bored and just wishing this was over. a girl ends up next to me, she's upset. I ask her if she's alright and she bursts into tears and kisses me. dream changes and now i'm outside, but near the funny suited guy. fuzzy but I start to chase him, we travel far, by water mostly and i eventually catch up to him and poke out his eyes through his glasses. he screams in pain. the room changes and it's the small room again, but it's light blue. there's someone else. something is said between the two. i'm confused and do nothing. ends. I'm in a car talking to two girls in another car next to me, we're laughing and having a good time. A man walks into my car and starts to tell me to shut up, that's all he says and he says it twice. I 'wake up' filled with annoyance. I tell him to stop for his own good. he sits back. ends. dreaming. stuck inside the same complex as another dream. the first time i tried to escape I was caught, being passively chased throughout the whole town by the authorities. It was some kind of school before. Now it was a commune/hospital. I wasn't supposed to be there, and I had to hide. I hid around with the others who were interned there and decide to free some with me. I spent this time inside a greenhouse having to teach children some insane stuff about the world, while a supervisor watched, when he left we would talk about escape. dream changes and I am somehow forced to hide inside a small closet inside the main hospital. it's night and mostly quiet. I step out meaning to simply walk out of the place, instead I meet with a helicopter pilot taking a patient somewhere, and old man. there is a nurse there, she warns me not to wake up their master (no title nor word was used), which was just a stone bust of a man at the far end of the corridor. The object itself was it. I tell them I was just walking out. The pilot tells me there's a way out, but that I'd have to take the old man with me. we go into a square room filled with conveyor belts moving in opposite directions, leading to different passages underneath the walls, with only enough clearance for you to lie down flat. the openings would close, you had to time it. the old man slowed me down and I could not make it. I left another way somehow and had to go back inside to retrieve my dog, his eyes would bulge when I looked at him. I navigated the halls of the empty hospital and nothing stopped me, i was moving around looking for whatever it was that loomed over me and I wanted a fight. Even leaving my dog where I found him to continue my search. nothing comes of it and I walk back out. dream ends. dreaming of a home not mine, in a tall building, next to another tall building. there's a big courtyard down below surrounding both buildings. there are lots of people walking about. I see elephants walk into the courtyard and realize something is wrong. but the people are having fun with the calm animals. Then lions come in, and I see it coming and try to warn them, but nobody can hear me. there's carnage, the lions and the scared elephants kill almost everyone. I see my mother down below and she's still alive. then someone starts shooting calculated shots at the survivors. I rush down below, going through peoples empty homes and stop by one with someone inside. The girl screams and tells me to leave, I tell her to be quiet so we don't die. I look out the window and see that my mother has already been shot. I go further down the building to another room with someone. From here I can see the shooter in a balcony overlooking the yard. He's having fun with a girl inside. me and the other guy there grab our own rifles and devise a plan. I shoot first, with him on the same target next. the sniper walks out onto the balcony in a bathrobe. i get ready, but my friend takes his shot first and misses. we trade shots from across the courtyard. then we move. me and my friend behind a boulder. the sniper comes up to us firing away, and his girl is mounted on a white horse and blazing away with her guns. I shoot her and she goes down. the sniper then requests a smoke break and we accept and put our guns away, shortly after he shoots us both and we die. dream pulls back like clothing and I'm looking down at me from the ceiling, I'm in front of a tv playing a video game, surrounded by people i've known all packing the room, on top of couches and sitting on the table, all watching what I was doing. I say "that was stupid, I could have beaten that" and step away. they give a mixed feeling of annoyance, rolling eyes, sighing. ends. My only dream death.

these are out of sequence with the rest. don't know where they would go, but all after my first post. Lying down on a couch falling asleep. I slowly pull away from my body and ecstatically tried to go through a wall into the next apartment, but I get stuck. So i fly through the front door, while closed, and turn around and into the next door where I see a person sitting around two other people. That person's soul or whatever, like a ghost, comes out and comes close to me. I wake up. That room was the exact mirror image of my own livingroom, complete with the same furniture. I was fully aware I was dreaming from start to finish. dreaming. I'm walking down an abandoned neighborhood. There's a house that gives off a bad feeling. I know there's a witch inside. There's an evil cat in front of me, but I walk into the house and he runs away. The walls are torn, and some have fallen to show the outside. I chase this presence around the house, in a passive search. I never find her, but she is forced to leave. dreaming and being chased by a crazy looking airplane that would swoop down close to the ground. There are people with me and we are trying to escape. The plane concentrates on me, or me on it, dunno, but there isn't much I could do, and I get pinned. A black car comes, they pull over and talk to the other people. I stay far away like I have nothing to do with any of their problems and I did nothing wrong. dreaming of my own room. I'm laying down as if I'm awake, and a cloaked figure is nearby, all black, surrounded by a feeling of dread. He approaches slowly like he's going to kill me. I try and reach for something to fight him off but can't find anything. I freeze in terror instead as he gets real close to me. I then wake up. the only waking dream i've had. dreaming in a backyard not my own. There's a flood coming, and at first it's just thin blanket of water that races across the ground. I out run it barely, go into the house and close the sliding door. the flood passes and I step outside. Everything is destroyed except my house. There's the devil and god (and I'm far from religious in any way). The devil is short, about 5 feet something, and he has the head of a bull with long horns. God is just a male presence, and he says to the devil "pick up these bones and make companions for my son." it looks like fossils lying everywhere, old bones. the devil turns to me and says "do you think I like being your servant?" I wake up.

now that i've caught up to the present (for now)... two days ago: dreaming of a nice dream. Me and a few friends are somewhere having a good time, but we are arrested along with the whole town. The town is turned into an internment camp. While in a cafeteria I ask one of my friends where another friend had gone, he answers that he doesn't know, but he knew, and i knew not to ask anymore so the guards wouldn't notice that he was gone. He had somehow left a tape inside a car for me to find, but I wasn't able to get there. I tried to escape, while following a chain fenced covered in vines along a grass field, but the overseer of the camp followed me and almost had me caught when a woman showed up. I had a feeling that she was some kind of hero. It's fuzzy but I remember her facing off against the overseer. they were far apart and had just come into each other's view, she had her back against a huge wooden board, like a huge door but no knob or walls, and she had just diverted his attention from me. She was completely naked save for some jewelry, she danced seductively against the board for a second, I'm not sure what she was doing because she just pulled out a gun and killed him, and he almost had her too. She told me to run while I had a chance. just then sirens blazed all around and a helicopter came. I was well hidden and I thought for sure that I'd be caught the moment I stepped out, cop cars were heading right for where I was thinking of going. I hear one of their voices through their megaphone "98.(4294)% of the people are always in the vicinity." Sure enough, i was one too and they catch me. Nothing bad happens to me though, it's very passive. The last I can remember before it ended was that the new camp overseer was Mel Gibson and he was a really nice guy, showing real concern while being interviewed by the media.

last night It's rare that I have good dreams. This one was long and through many places, and this is only what I remember. Somewhere, outside someone's house, under a canopy where my car is parked. There is a man and his wife, the man is apparently an important person and he is inspecting my car. He likes what he sees and I give the two of them a ride along a winding and high rising freeway to a park. We meet many people there and we line up chairs in a circle. I somehow manage to offend or otherwise piss off the man, and me and a close friend attempt to figure out why. At this point most everyone else is somewhere in the park and the circle is nearly empty. I say that I think it's because I had used his chair unknowingly as a foot stool, and explain that "I like to have my feet level with my body". We both go and inspect it and it's a small old chair made of wood with pictures on it, one was in the backrest and it was very impressive but I can't remember. My friend says he thinks it was because I went through his book of pictures, though I hadn't done so that I remembered, and we go grab it and look through it. Not pictures but vivid drawings of dragons with wings, showing different sizes and prominent features. Someone, whom I have in the past done wrong to, sits down next to me and says some friendly thing. We wait around for the others to return. fuzzy, but I end up inside and entrance room, like you might see in a restaurant, with a girl behind a podium/desk, a guy nearby next to the door and another girl next to me. The one next to me is the daughter of that important man. She is slightly fat and somewhat short, and she wears a lot of clothes. I understood her as being very pretty and desirable. I catch sight of her eyes and they're very strange, full of color (blue/green/gray) bursting all around a slit pupil like an animal. I tell her that I was going to get (fake) eyes like those but not like hers because "they're too creepy". She turns with her eyes to me again and says 'you don't think these are real?" and seems put off. I say something else, something about how good she smells, she leans in close and slow and puts her face against my neck and says "you smell like sweat" and turns around and walks out the door. behind her i yell out (jokingly) "I believe in the old tradition, you work hard and so you sweat" but she is already out the door. the girl at the podium can't help but break a smile, "at least she laughed". A short time later another friend of mine comes and invites me somewhere. I worry that I don't have swimming shorts, but I look down and I do. We come to a room shaped like a corner, maybe it was the corner of a long hallway, with a waist high wall and inside it is a like a flowing man-made creek filled with fish and plants, this taking the whole half of the room from middle to wall. Sitting there is the strange eyed girl again, and I think she was the one that arranged the whole affair. I say nothing and sit down with my friend in between us. Next to her is another girl, a strange looking one, though not to me at the time. She was made of paper or rice or something like it, part of her was unnaturally white, and even where she had the color of a person it seemed somehow scratched off. She waves to me excitedly and I wave back, as I've known her somehow from somewhere. The strange eyed girl sits all stoic and we observe the water. Sadly, I'm disrupted in my sleep and wake up (common occurance).
