Thread: Hidden's Dream Journal

The dream started right after I'd semi-intentionally murdered my older brother. I felt bad, and I wanted to fix it. I was in a kitchen in my house (not my real one though) with my little brother. We started playing with knives, but instead of stabbing each other each of us was holding an orange, which the other person stabbed. I asked if he wanted to fight without the oranges, thinking this would be a good opportunity to kill him too. It was a bit strange, because I didn't really want to kill him, but at the same time I felt no remorse. Killing him just felt like the right thing to do. I concluded that I was possessed, and then I was like, "oh, okay then, that explains it" and continued with my murder plan. However, he said no, probably guessing what I was up to, and my mom came into the room then. My little brother knew that I'd killed my older brother, but he was acting like nothing had happened. My mom may have known, but she was also trying to act normal.

Spoiler for Why don't you take a seat?:

Nah, honestly though that dream made me laugh pretty hard.

Can't blame you for freaking out when you saw the spiders >_> I also suffer from severe arachnophobia.

Overall, nice recall!

Lol. Is that guy someone I should know?

Dinosaur Shaped Vitamins (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at a school parking lot, and my mom gave me a remote where one of the buttons made the bell ring. It was fun to press the button and watch people scramble to get to class. There was something about a security camera (the kind that's in a round tinted case on the ceiling).

I wasn't feeling very well, so I decided to take some ibuprofen, but instead I got out the dinosaur shaped vitamins (we actually have these... they're awesome =P). Apparently they were ibuprofen now. I read the directions, and it said that adults could take up to three per day if they were sick.

In the event of a hurricane, the safest place is the top of a four-story building (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Various member of my family and I were travelling. Some people were riding horses, while others (myself included) were walking. We were on a hilly field with some mountains semi-nearby. There were also random cliffs and bottomless pits (a bit like what you might find in a video game). It was also really windy, so I was a bit worried about getting blown into one of the pits.

Suddenly there was a really big gust of wind, and all the horses blew over and people flew into the air, where they just hung about 6 feet over their mounts, as though they were attached to the ground somehow. I was afraid of being blown away too, so I grabbed onto a random square thing that happened to be in front of me. It was a bit like a side of a door frame.

The winds stopped, and we started running to the nearest village. I tried to run fast, but I felt heavy and sluggish, like I was moving through water. We got to the village, which was in a shallow valley. In the center there was a big four-story building that was surrounded by a pit. We went to the very top floor because that was the safest place. I remember that climbing the stairs, like running, was painfully slow. When I got to the top we went to get something to eat. The building was literally rocking back and forth. The motion was a bit like being on a rocking boat, but more side-to-side.

The dream switched so that I was looking at the building from outside, and I saw the bottom floor collapse, leaving the other three stories intact. I was back inside and the middle two floors had also collapsed. Part of the roof of the top floor was made out of metal links, which started falling down on top of us. They were surprisingly light, though, and didn't really do anything. The dream ended with us standing outside, looking over the damage, and beginning reconstruction.

Another Family Car Trip (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a car with my family. My dad and I were sitting in the middle seat, and we wanted to set up a small TV between us, so I started buckling it in. Then I started playing music, but my little brother complained that it was too loud, so I had to turn it off.

Dang...I've been hella busy. Congrats on all the dreams!

Outer Space (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in outer space, coming in for landing. I was controlling my ship in the 3rd person, but I came in too fast and crashed.

Then we were on an alien planet, on a quest. We were driving through a desert in a black SUV. At least I think it was an SUV; I don't know what cars are called. There was a big three-headed monster. It looked like a combination of a dog and a pillar, and it was red. A couple of the people in my group and I attacked. I couldn't figure out how to use spells, so instead I hit it with little inch-tall action figures that dealt an insignificant amount of damage. Meanwhile, a bunch of my team members had been KO'd, and it was hitting me. The majority of my party was still in the car, which the monster then attacked, causing the car to roll over. They're so useless, I thought. I had finally figured out how to select spells from the menu (like in a video game), but it was too late. I either ran or I "died" as another person from our group (a big, fat guy) attacked the dog, which ran away.

In any case, somehow I ended up back in space and I was talking with people on Earth. They talked about what a great healer I was, and they used a bunch of fancy healing words that I had supposedly taught them. I had no clue what any of the words meant. Then I thought back, and I realized that I did vaguely remember someone else mentioning them on a forum. I guessed that I'd repeated the information in a way that had made me sound like some sort of expert.

Then I was back on a planet, and someone was asking about their avocados. A couple of people and I went outside to look. I stepped outside and it was sunny. There was about 20 feet of dirt ground in front of me, and then a cliff that led down to greener land. In the distance was some water (either a lake or an ocean) and some green mountains off to the side.

I went to look in the crate with the avocados. They were all very bumpy and had white patches. I thought they looked very unappetizing, but the other people were marvelling at how great they looked. One person picked an avocado up and said, "wow, this one has two swollen glands!" He said it like it was a good thing; to me what he was holding looked like a big lump of pus. There were a bunch of bananas on top of the avocados, so I separated them and peeled them. One was rotten, so I threw it out.

In the ground there was a round hole cut out with a circular patch of land hanging a few feet below it. Jimmy from Blades of Glory poked his head out. I jumped down from the patch of land and into an underground cave. I'm not sure exactly how this happened, but at that point I was Jimmy. Chazz and I were under arrest and there were two people guarding us. Chazz drank some alcohol, then ran out the door. They let him go but kept me here. I decided to try the same thing that Chazz had done. It worked, and I started running. One of the guys just laughed, knowing that I wouldn't survive alone for long. I ran up a dirt path that led into the mountains mentioned earlier. The lake was now on my left. The second guard didn't start chasing me until after I'd run right by him.

Long dream. I'm afraid I'm not that good at being concise.

Haha wow, cool dream!

I especially love this part:

I couldn't figure out how to use spells, so instead I hit it with little inch-tall action figures that dealt an insignificant amount of damage

Controlling the Tides (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in the kitchen, and my uncle was sending me mean IM's on Facebook. I wanted to shout back at him but I didn't, knowing that he was just trying to provoke me.

Then we were at the beach, and people could control the tides. We also swam some. I think I might have done something wrong here, and that's why my uncle was mad at me... No, wait, we were walking down a path through some trees earlier and that's where I did something to make him angry.

Anyway, I was back at home. My mom brought home a remote control helicopter, and my little brother and I proceeded to each control one of the helicopters (he got one for Christmas last year).

Implanted memories in your dreams?

@es: Possibly. I remember actually doing the other stuff though, not just remembering doing it.

Beware the Guitar-Wielding Zombies (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was looking at a city from above, but it was also the layout for DV's forum. There was a new feature where you could rename the boards, but only you could see the modified board name. There was also a blank board just below meta, which you could name and then only you could see. Jeff777 said that no one could name their board "Happy Birthday" because today was my birthday. He sounded like a guy from a movie I've seen, but I can't remember what it's called.

Then Jeff, one of my IRL friends (don't remember who >.>), and I were walking along the side of a busy road. A few cars stopped, and a bunch of zombies came out. My friend and I fought them by hitting them with big pieces of parchment paper. The zombies were carrying guitars, which they used to hit us. I dropped my piece of paper, so I was defenseless. I took a few steps away from the zombie that was walking (slowly) at me and looked for Jeff. I figured that since he was a more advanced lucid dreamer than me, he would have more control over the dream, but he was nowhere to be seen. One of the zombies' guitars broke in half. I pulled the neck of the guitar out of its hand and started hitting it with it, but it didn't do anything. I thought that since this was a dream, then I should be able to beat them up easily. The zombie's head started to get a bit dented when I hit it, but otherwise it was pretty much the same.

One of my lucid goals is to fight off zombies, but this isn't quite how I had imagined it. =P

Hahaha, you need to go wild with a chainsaw or a crowbar. That's how real men (and women!) fight zombies!

Grats on the lucid

Hehe, thanks XeL. I probably would have done something more intense if I'd been more lucid. Actually I probably would've just ignored the zombies and flown off...

A Young Hero (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was filling up a giant water bottle with flowers on it. And I mean giant--like the size of a tank you could put a small whale in. Except at the same time it was the size of a normal water bottle, like on the outside it was small but inside it was huge.

My mom's friend gave her a bottle of tea concentrate stuff. My mom didn't like it because you had to cook it to prepare it. She was uncharacteristically mean about it too. My mom left the water on hot, so when I went back to filling up my water bottle it got some hot water in it and I had to dump it out and start over.

Then the dream was in 3rd person, and I was in a city. A guy was flying with these two monsters with long names. They ended in "gar" and "ger" (or something like that), so I asked if it was like that for the same reason that all of the Pokemon names end in "mon." (Uhh...) He said no; the initials of the names spelled out a motto.

Then there was this little skinny girl who was on a mission. And I mean really skinny; like malnourished skinny. She could fly, and she was a member of some sort of exclusive group of heroes. As she jumped off the roof of a building, her mom said that she was 18, although she looked to me like she was about 7. Her mom told me about how she still hoped that she would grow up into a strong, healthy person even though she had given up so much to help other people. I didn't say anything, but I thought that if she was this small at the age of 18, she probably wouldn't be lasting much longer.

Sorry for the lack of updates (and lack of comments on other people's dream journals). School is murdering the rest of my life. >.> Oh, and I'm leaving to go snowboarding tomorrow, so I won't be here for a couple more days. And then I'll have a bunch of homework to do on Sunday. Ugh. Hopefully I'll have some time for DJing after that though.

I feel your pain. My recall has been sucking, and I'm now just catching up on DJ's, too. Stupid teachers.

have a good time!

Gawd, school sucks the big D! Snowboarding is like the best thing in the world though! Don't kill yourself, Erin!

Snowboarding was really awesome! Less painful than I'd expected, too. Standing up was really hard though.

Hopefully I'll stop being lazy and actually write down some dreams tonight. In the meantime I think I'll catch up on other people's DJ's and maybe even get inspired enough to start recalling again.

The Tunnel (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a car with my cousin and some other people. There was a concrete tunnel that had something to do with cell phones; my cousin and another person went in to investigate. Later, we were in my room, and I went into the tunnel to explore.

There was a door that led to a room. It was dimly lit and made of gray cement, but there really wasn't a whole lot there, so we moved on. There were two types of scary animals in the next room, which I dealt with with no problems. Then my brother asked if I was brave enough to look up. I said no, but I could see out of the corner of my vision that there were a bunch of little red spiders completely covering the ceiling. As I ran to the next room, a spider landed on my face. I took it surprisingly well; I simply brushed it off and kept running.

In the next room there was a door and a jug of milk. We had to use Bernoulli's Principle to get out. I poured the milk along the door, which caused the door to be pulled into the moving current. We got outside, but then my cell phone rang and someone said that we still weren't safe.

We stood in front of my friend's house. Someone explained to me that we would only be safe if the person who was coming to get us took us in a certain order, and I was first. We lined up on the path, and then we each had our own house next to us. We recruited some Muggles to help us; they walked through each other.

Then we were back in the first room of the tunnel, which now had a trampoline but still had nothing dangerous. I realized that this was the only room that Muggles could get to. There was also something about a Gameboy screen. Either I used it to communicate, or I used it to travel.

Dream Fragments and SP (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Combining three things into one.

During my nap yesterday, I had a dream about my cousin. It involved boats and water, and in the dream I tried to WILD and woke up. Too bad I went back to sleep instead of writing it down.

About an hour after I went to bed last night, I woke up and went into SP quite easily. This isn't exactly a dream, but this was one of my better WILD attempts (even though I hadn't been planning on it). I'm not sure what made me do this, but I imagined launching myself forward to enter SP. It made complete sense when I was half-asleep. In any case, I immediately got HH where I saw, heard, and felt static. I relaxed, hoping that I would enter a dream, but I just woke up again.

It was easy to get the HH back again. This time I tried to enter SP a second time, and the HH got stronger, but a third time did nothing. I decided to try rolling over, and I felt myself moving. I managed to move half of my right arm. It felt pretty cool, like my dream body was attached by a bunch of little strings which I was ripping apart. Then my brother spoke in my ear in a creepy deep voice; I reminded myself that it wasn't real and tried to move the rest of my body. This was the first time that I'd ever tried to move and not been able to (usually I'm too scared of waking myself up to move). "This is pretty cool," I thought. "I can see how this could be scary."

I woke up again, and my arm went back to being in its actual location. Being in one position and then suddenly being in another was somewhat confusing. I started to see through my eyelids, but it was really dark, so I had the brilliant idea of opening my eyes. >.> My real eyes opened, and I couldn't decide whether I wanted to RC or try DEILD again.

I also had a dream that had something to do with doctors, and I woke up thinking about one over water skiiers.

Flying (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My mom was getting married, and she was wearing a (very ugly) suit. We sang a song led by my mom, but she improvised a bit so we all floundered while trying to follow her. The conductor tried to speed it up, and my mom got annoyed.

I had a little old-fashioned pocket electronic thing with a green screen that told me stuff. The screen had lots of text, but it went away before I could read it. Someone asked for my seat. I gave it to him, but then I couldn't find a new one. I finally found an empty seat, but another guy insisted that it was taken; I sat down anyway and plugged in my electronic thing. I wanted to use it to learn how to use a sword/knife, but first I had to learn how to become invisible.

The scene changed. I was in a dark-ish place outside, and I imagined someone flying around and then turning invisible. A whispy form appeared and started doing what I told it to. Eventually the form dissolved and it was daytime, and I was flying around trying to turn invisible. There was a DC with me who was also flying. We were near the bank of a lake, and there was some sort of metal tower by the shore. I realized that we were both flying by swimming, which was really slow, so I decided to try the Superman method. I fell. I thought about catching myself, but I decided that it would be more interesting to see what happens and prepared myself for a FA.

The scene changed, and I was driving a car up a hill with trees. The DC from before was in the passenger seat. I told her to try flying fast, but she refused, saying that it was too dangerous. I reminded her that it was a dream, so nothing could hurt us. "Yeah... But still, just in case..." she replied. I told her to drive so that I could jump off, and she complied. We drove around a corner and passed a clearing between the trees that led to a cliff. She told me that I should have jumped there.

The road dipped, and I jumped and was launched up. I was tempted to swim, but I forced myself not to. I was having trouble getting higher than the trees; going straight up was hard. Eventually I made it over the trees and headed to the water. I think I fell then, and had a false awakening. I ate a bit of an avocado, but it was gross. I felt guilty about throwing it out, but I did anyway.

First off, grats

Second off, this was a MILD, so what did you do to prep for it?

I always like hearing what other people did for their technique, it gives me new ideas for mine

Hmm... Well, I tried to set my intent to wake up after each REM period (which often helps me become lucid in itself), but I kept getting distracted thinking about how I wanted a lucid dream. I hadn't had one in awhile, so I figured it was about time I got one. Too bad I can't think like that every night.

Grey's Anatomy (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was at a hospital, and one of the guys from Grey's Anatomy (I forget his name...) was blind and was being treated. My extended family was also visiting, and someone wanted her dog to be treated.

The dream switched to a new location. I was in a big room, and within the room there was a tall, thin tower made out of plastic. Someone else and I were staying in a room at the very top of it. We started climbing up, and the staricase literally only had room for one person. Like I had walls brushing up against me on all sides. I'm slightly claustrophobic and I'm terrified of heights, so this was a pretty bad combination for me. I thought I felt the tower sway a bit, but I made it to the top. The room was even tinier than the stairs, so I went back down.

15.03.2010

Cleaning the Bathrooms (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was outside, and it was dark. I talked to a couple of people from school who I don't know that well, so the conversation was a bit awkward. We started to leave, but then the police came. They were mad at us for some reason. I wanted to run, but they already knew our names so it was pointless.

We all had to clean the bathrooms (we were on some sort of school field trip) while everyone else did something else. Oddly, cleaning the bathrooms didn't seem that much less enjoyable than whatever they were doing. The floors got very wet, which made my math teacher get mad at us. Someone showed me some items that modified things so that you could cheat. I don't remember much, but one of them would make you be able to float through the air.
