Thread: Cimeries' Dream Journal

This is pretty crazy. I normally only remember 1 dream a week. Now, in 2 days, I've remembered 10+, just by creating a dream journal! I've also decided to put smaller bits of dream that I remember were parts of bigger dreams, or really short dreams, into a "Fragments" section at the end.

3rd-4th Jan, 2009

Dream 1
Me and a friend escaped from a small boat onto a larger ferry or freight ship. A Kraken creature was after us. We first tried to kill it by pulling up the anchor to the ship, then dropping it on the Kraken. We thought we'd killed it, but we hadn't and it attacked again. Then, we got a second chance. This time, we pulled the anchor up, and I realized what had to be done. We deployed a huge number of football sized brussel sprouts from the side of the ships tower into the water, which the Kraken then ate, then died because of eating them. There was much rejoicing all round, and me and my friend were hailed as heroes.

Dream 2
I'm in my local town at night with a group of my friends, only it doesn't look like my local town - it looks a lot more China Town-ish. There's a restaurant with a red neon sign above it and I comment on how it used to be called "**** Red" (in my dream I didn't know the name properly either). We end up in a bar, all on brown leather couches and stool things, talking. I don't feel completely welcome, but I do know the people there fairly well. I'm just a little uncomfortable.

Dream 3
I'm playing a game with some people that's like Splinter Cell, only real life. We have to infiltrate this office building in daylight. My friend JMA is the "enemy", as such. He's in an office upstairs somewhere. We're all terrible at the game and he easily finds us. I end up on my back trying to escape him by sliding along the floor backwards using my feet. I'm not particularly scared, i'm just not very good at walking e.t.c and don't want to get caught by him in an "I don't want to lose the game" way. It's quite funny.

The dream changes, only now I'm the one guarding the area and about 12 children are trying to infiltrate. I end up being chased by them around a very large ventilation system, doing a lot of Prince of Persia style moves in first person, to run away from them. One of them catches me and lets me go for some reason. I have a gun and at one point open a door that opens into the ventilation system and shoot at them. I think they shoot back, but none of our shots have any effect. All the children are then in a big board room with a police-man and they guy who is running the game. I find out that they are there because they all stole 2 meat pies from a shop or something similar to that. I think that this is an extraordinarily harsh punishment, when the regular punishment in my dream world should have been 2 weeks in prison, and I was earlier shooting at them. I feel a bit harsh for doing that, and decide to let them win in the future.

Fragments of Dreams
I found out a friend of mine was gay, and that the person he most fancied was WS. He was sitting under a small table or counter when he told me this.

Fragment 1
I repeatedly vaulted over the same wall to get to my school, past a guy strimming the grass.

Fragment 2
Dogs in a lift shaft. A guy shoots up the life shaft at them, and 2 puppy toy dogs fall down, while the real dogs escape. I think they can fly.

Fragment 3
I'm sort of cheating on my girlfriend, but nothing has happened with the girl I'm cheating on her with. It's almost like I've accidentally ended up in this situation and break up with the girl by text. My friend (who's girlfirend the dream girl resembles) tells me that she won't be too upset when I ask.

More again! I've decided this time to give my dreams names, for future reference.

4th-5th Jan, 2009

Dream 1 - Ice Skating
As it says in the title, I went ice skating. I was skating round a raised, ovoid track. There was more ice in the middle of it. At one point, we all skated into the middle to receive a certificate of some kind. I already had mine due to special circumstances, but couldn't find it in my pocket (I was awake enough to be actually looking in for a pocket on the ass of my boxers I was sleeping in). there was also some kind of police operation going on, with a bunch of police people at a viewing area.

Dream 2 - Takedown!
I was with a bunch of characters from various soaps, and we were in a dark courtyard in Amsterdam (I think Amsterdam). 2 of the characters, on male, one female (i think the female was called Rosie) had an argument, and she stormed off round a corner. I figured that wasn't very safe, so I went to follow, then saw her come flying into the wall like she'd been thrown ridiculously hard. Some guy then comes round the corner, starts kicking her in the stomach a couple of times, then kind of lost interest in her and started weakly kicking the wall. I went over to help her and started fighting this guy. I kicked at him a couple of times, but it wasn't very effective. he tried to grab me, and I ended up standing facing the same way as him, with my arm across his chest, sweeping his leg out and taking him down, Jiu-Jutsu style. I then had a massive go at everyone else there for not helping Rosie, even though they all knew her loads and I hardly knew her. We then all left and went to a carpark. I was tempted to steal a car, but didn't - I think I nearly became lucid there.

Dream 3 - Lesbian Escape!
Odd how many of my dreams contain lesbians Only this one is extra odd, because i'm one of them! I'm in a nasty guys house, seems like some sort of pimp type character, who's treating this girl nastily. Somehow, it ends up with me and this girl making out, and then he slaps her with this kind of greave and leaves. My subconscious clearly can't process me having lesbian sex, so skips ahead to the morning, where my dream sex buddy says "Why are you always in my dreams?" even though we only knew each other that night. The pimp guy comes in, but is now not so much of a dick. He says something along the lines of "don't you mean, what do I do when there's no one to help you?" Somehow, we both realize this means that the police are coming and we have to get out of the house. We climb out of the window and drop onto a low roof, then jump down onto a plastic slide and then climb down to ground level, and begin to run. We run through gardens, climbing over fences, trying to get some distance between us and the police. I hear a dog barking. Some kids in purple blazers were following us, and the girl I was with said "they're getting closer!" I thought she meant the police, but she meant the kids, who meant us no harm. I couldn't run as fast as her. I realized I was dreaming as I woke up, and tried to go back into the dream, but to no avail. I should probably go check out some dream re-entry stuff.

Fragment 1 - Ken's pool party.

I was in a rooftop swimming pool belonging to my mate Kenny, who was, in the dream, for some reason ludicrously rich. Everyone was quite scantily clad, and there were tons of people there. It was a lot of fun, and one of my teachers, Mr. Chambers, and his dream son, bombed into the swimming pool.

Well, it all went a bit wrong last night. I woke up in the middle of the night and was thinking about... sexy things, and completely forgot to lay still or try to recall my dreams. About 5 minutes later, I realize I've done this and try to re-enter a fragment I conjure up. No luck. These 2 I've put down here were from the morning, shortly before getting up, so are only just about dreams.

5th-6th Jan, 2009

Fragment 1 - A performance
I had to perform in a show of some sort in front of a school from nearby at the local university. This was a punishment for something I'd done at college. I had to wear different masks which were all very similar, but each had a characteristic that I had to emulate. I did a couple, then left the dream. My girlfriend and a friend who go to that school were there.

Fragment 2 - A proposal
There was some kind of test where you were meant to read all instructions before doing anything, as the last instruction told you not to do the test. The person showing this in a big hall on a projector screen said something about a part of your brain being deactivated quite excitedly, in relation to the test. There was a woman who I thought was a teacher but turned out to be a student who I found myself randomly proposing too, and it felt like a scene from "An Officer and a Gentleman", but I have no idea why.



On the plus side, I tried sleep paralysis and had a very odd experience of pins and needles/vibrations going all the way up from my extremities into my head and making my hearing go crazy. I assume this was the start of sleep paralysis, but I'm not 100% certain.

No further luck with sleep paralysis, I'm afraid. Never mind. Had a couple of dreams, not super vivid, no-where near lucid.

6th-7th Jan, 2009

Dream 1 - A nutty drive
I am with my friend Lief. She is driving me to a store of some sort. It is night. She says something about the store, and I ask if she means the one at Marks' Farm. She says yes. We go into the store and decide to buy nuts.

Dream 2
A girl in my school common room has had an argument with my sister and is going to report her for swearing. My sister didn't swear in the argument, so I threaten this girl and shout at her a lot. She ends up so scared she hides underneath a chair.

Fragment 1 - Motorway
I'm driving on the motorway in the far right lane, but not paying much attention. Somehow, I end up underneath a motorway bridge (in line with the direction of it) and need to merge back into traffic from a slow speed, into the fast lane.

Fragment 2 - Double Decker underground bus
I get on the bus, and go down stairs into the bottom of it, which is underground and dark. I ask George who's there, and he replies by pointing to Jess and Lief.

Tried a DEILD at 3am, but I got confused about what time it was and what the alarm was for and didn't manage to become lucid whilst awake, never mind in a dream :p

7th-8th January, 2009

Dream 1 - The death of a hamster
I was at a school fair of some sort. Someone wanted me to set off this thing to detonate. It was like an inflatable person with two buttons near its feet, which I could somehow control while not touching it. I was to press one button to send it up, and another to detonate it. It was meant to be a firework or similar. I sent it up, and it got caught on the top of a gazebo. It span round so the explosive bit faced the floor, and I fired without thinking. There was an explosion, and a kid from my school, Jola, came running out screaming about how the explosion had killed his hamster. He started screaming at the guy who commissioned me to say he was sorry, before I admitted I was the one to blame. Jola then hit me repeatedly with his dead/dying hamster. One of our teachers, Mr. W, is his father, although that is completely untrue in real life.

Zoom on, and I'm at school, in trouble about this. I am waiting outside Mr. HC's office waiting to be questioned. People start laughing about how I have gonorrhea and syphilis, because a medical notice board has my test results from an STD test I apparently took up on it. As I haven't had sex yet, I twigged that this was my dream simply trying to make me feel as terrible as possible (I was very upset about the whole hamster incident), and I forced myself to wake up rather than thinking to become lucid, having decided that my subconscious is just a bit of a bastard.

Fragment 1 - Boxes of battle
I was playing a game, possibly similar to battlefront in nature, only semi real life. There were large boxes you strapped to your chest to fire things at your opponents. Twas fun, and I was quite good at it.

After a week of keeping a dream journal, my first lucid of any sort! I'm sooo happy! I DEILD'ed!

8th - 9th January, 2009

Dream 1 - Dim eyed child
Some guy kept on coming to my house and having a go at me about how I had injured his child, once stating that he now had dim eyes all the time. One time, the guy arrived just as my gf's dad was getting out of his car - he'd came over for some reason. I arrive at a similar time too, and see the two of them meeting. They argued about the injury issue and my gf's dad stood up for me a lot, which I was very grateful for.

Dream 2 - An acrobatic trip to the pool
I think I have a level of lucidity, but I'm still so controlled by dream rules that I wouldn't call it lucid. I'm the swimming pool with 2 friends L and J. I'm climbing around the inside wall to try to reach a certain bit of it, in order to show off somehow - possibly proving that I could do something that another guy couldn't. I come down and sit on the bottom of the pool with the 2 of them. At some point, I must wake up, because I then DEILD a little by picturing my school bus going along the school route, and then imagine myself in a car with L and J, and having to jump to the car infront and throw the guy driving out in order to get lucid. I was both in the car sequence, and sitting on the floor of the pool narrating it to L. She kept grabbing my arm as if she was watching it like a film and it was scary. I ended up putting my arm around her.

Dream 3 - Lucid - Zooming into the darkness

I tried to DEILD by easing myself into the dream, and found that I had just left a cocktail party of some sort and had to stop by my office. The office was at a swimming pool where I work, only it's been converted into an office building. I know that if I sit at my desk, I will have control. I'm lucid, but feel compelled to do this. I sit at the desk, put something on it, then fly up through the ceiling in happiness at a ridiculously high speed. So fast, in fact, that I don't think my mind could keep up with it and I ended up flying through blackness and I thought the dream was beginning to fade. I began to spin as fast as I could, although this was difficult as I was still flying at full speed. It didn't help, as my dream location was black and everything was just very confusing. I then had a false awakening into the back of a car and told whoever was there about my dream.

Right then. This is a bit different. I had a scare on the morning of the 10th, because I spent way too long relaxing lying in bed not thinking at all about dreaming, and ended up thinking I'd forgotten all my dreams from that night. However, I continued trying to remember whilst I was getting up and washed e.t.c, just letting my mind gently probe itself, and lo and behold, it worked! However, no such luck the day after. I slept round my girlfriends house night 10th - 11th, didn't go to bed till really late and didn't remember to try to lucid, due to distractions :p I'm not too worried - tis only one night i
I've missed.

9th-10th January, 2009

Dream 1 - Bauer Power
Yay, I had a Jack Bauer dream! Bauer/me (?) is running around subways and the likes, being generally awesome, sliding down stuff e.t.c. It's kinda like i'm watching an awesome episode of 24. At one point, he is on the phone to a woman who is standing at a phonebooth. She asks him where he is, and he replies "behind you", whispering in her ear rather than speaking down the phone. When she turns around, he's gone.

Dream 2 - Family Feuds
I'm at some kind of big event with a family. They're not my RL family, but I think they might be my dream family. I keep finding rooms with glowing orbs in them by pulling down walls with a Bionic Commando style grapple arm. The glowing orb s are meant to somehow heal the relationship that's turning a bit sour between mother DC and father DC. Somehow, these orbs instead give everyone gold shoes, which seems to make the others happy.

Fragment 1 - A Drowning Duck
Well, there's a toy plastic duck. And he drowns. I squeeze the water out of him and offer him to a kid.

Fragment 2 - German Invasion
There's a Call of Duty - World at War theme. A bunch of German infiltrate a British base, and start to run it. We have to take it back.

Fragment 3 - Dog in Road
Well. A dog runs into the road on a roundabout. Dogs are important in this dream, possibly because they can all talk, but I'm not sure if they can or not.

Fragment 4 - A trip to the beach!
I went to the beach with J and L. I can remember nothing else

10th-11th January, 2009
Not really applicable due to my lack of keeping a dream diary due to being very tired and distracted.

Nothing! Not a single thing could I remember when I woke up.

So annoyed! I have no idea whether I dreamt much, or what! Maybe it's the stress due to exams. Never mind.

11th-12th January 2009

Nothing.

Woot! Dreams!

They didn't come easy though. I had to spend a good while thinking about it whilst getting ready to get anything out of my brain. Once I've got one thing though, it opens the floodgates and I remember more.

12-13th January, 2009

Dream 1 - The Lamest Lightsaber Battle
As the title suggests. As I was going to sleep, I tried to think about Jedi and awesome lightsaber battles from the Star Wars films, in the hope that I'd dream that I was a Jedi. This kind of almost worked, but then didn't at all. I dreamt that I was having a lightsaber battle with someone in Darth Maul fancy dress, in my downstairs hallway, in the middle of a party of some sort. We were using force FX lightsabers. It was pretty damn lame. When I remembered this when I woke up, I burst out laughing. I dropped my saber and tried to force it over to me, like I jokingly would whilst awake, and it didn't work.

I think this was a continuation of this dream - I was holding a dismembered head of a girl, everyone was just coming inside from the party outside, and I was happily chatting to the head, which was still perfectly alive. The bell rings, and I think it might be a bit odd to open the door holding said head, so I hold it out of the way as I open the door. A bunch of people (4?) in unison say "it's the Weasleys!" I, being in a dream, assume that Ron Weasley is at my party, and this is his family came to pick him up. They, however, kind of invite themselves in and join the party.

Dream 2 - An old friend
I'm chatting with an old friend, and put an episode of Scrubs on. JD is replaced by me, and Elliot by her, so it's kind of like a home movie of our relationship a few years back. We become nostalgic, thinking about when we used to be happy together, and almost hold hands. However, as our hands touch, we jerk away, realizing that that can't happen again and it's just not appropriate. (This would make more sense if you knew the back story, but that's not something I need to share with the world).

Fragment - A chat about relationships
I'm with someone in room D at school, talking to them about my relationship with my girlfriend. The person I'm talking to might be Kenny.

Right then. Good news is, lucid. bad news is, i've been too lazy to keep this diary properly! Never mind. Here's what i've got. I might only write down particularly good dreams from now on. Depends, I spose.

13th-14th January, 2009

Dream - My Insane Sister
Basically, my sister went crazy and kidnapped my cat, burying her alive in some kind of box. my sister then sent me cards mocking me. I tried to show these to my parents, but they transformed into different cards. I tried to transform them back, didn't work.


Fragment - Whale Attack
As an announcement is being made that if you are asked to get out of the water by a lifeguard, you must do so immediately, someone is asked to get out of the water, doesn't, and is eaten by a killer whale.

14th-15th January, 2009

Dream 1 - Crocodile Fight
I'm swimming in a lake with 3 friends, and we get attacked by a giant crocodile. I manage to get out, along with one of my friends. Another one is near the shore, right next to the crocodile. He tries to force the croc back with his lips somehow. I lie down and reach out to grab him. I shout at the croc to distract it, and it comes charging towards me. I leap up and run. The dream skips ahead, and i'm in my front room with a giant crocodile handbag. Lol.

Dream 2 - Girl
I was with a girl and we had a euphemism for sex or similar, which was playing on a video games console. I liked her and she liked me back. However, I stayed faithful to Laura.

Dream 3 - Inside Out Belly-Button
As it says, my bell button got pulled inside out, so it was like a foreskin hanging out of me. I tried to push it back in, but to no avail. In the end, I decided I might go to the doctors.

Fragment
Had low level lucidity. Changed something on a piece of paper to make someone believe something I said.

15th-16th January, 2009

Dream - A murder Plot Foiled!
I dreamt that i rang my mum to pick up off of the bus. A driver of the bus company my dad owns offers to take me home himself. Turns out he's just killed my mum and is planning to kill me next.

The dream zooms ahead, and i'm waking up in a hole, having wet concrete poured on top of me. A man is standing nearby, and I then realise that I am that man. I swapped places with the boss of the guys who were trying to kill me using some kind of face mask, and now they're burying their own boss.

Skips ahead again. I've just commited a crime with this gang, and we're running away. I end up getting left behind, and quickly take a short cut, and start drinking something nonchalantly to look less suspicious. The police ask me why im not joining in the chase, which is when I realise the bad boss person was actually a bent cop. I join the chase.

Skips forward again. I'm now at my own funeral, pretending to be this bent cop guy. One of my gang has figured out that i'm not who I say I am, turns around and shoots me with a large rifle while i'm making some kind of speech.

Skips forward once more. I'm now in a hospital bed in a hospital that is modeled off of the leisure centre that I work at. I have 3 options - go into a room to be killed by a gang guy, eat the poisoned food that has been offered to me, and i somehow know is poisoned, or make a break for it and live. I'm very tired, but I make a break for it, so that I can see Laura again, because I love her so much.




17th-18th January, 2009

Dream 1 - Giant Lighthouse
I'm on a tour of a giant lighthouse lwhich I know i've been to before and explored fully, going outside on the top of it. The tour is a little limited, and I sneak around a bit trying to get outside again, with someone following me around a bit. Nobody catches us, but we don't get outside. Is quite cool.

Dream 2 - Lucid - Lucid Flying!!!
My first proper lucid dream! I'm, as usual, at my local leisure centre. I'm trying to stop a murder. I've either came back in time or have future sight. I'm just about to grab a boy, when I think "fuck that, i'm dreaming!" and take off. No dream signs, no reality check, I just knew I was dreaming. So I took off of the floor and zoomed up quickly. I then remembered what happened last time I did that, and then flew back down to the floor, span around a few times to stabilize my dream, THEN flew off again. I really need to learn to control the instant urge to fly every time I become lucid.

So I fly outside of the centre, and fly around these stone columns. I kind of jump from one to another, testing my abilities. I can feel things so well, like i'm actually touching them. I'm moving around in a low gravity kind of thing, able to fly but testing other things too. Is very cool.





Let's hope for many more lucids!
