Thread: Hidden's Dream Journal

Boring dreams, since I didn't get much sleep last night, but...

Ice Skating
We were driving down a road that was very hilly, in some places so steep that it was practically upside down. We stopped at some sort of toll booth.
Scene change. Now I'm at the ice skating rink, and the show is about to start. However, there's something in my skate, so I take them off to get it out. There were a couple other people who were doing the same thing, so I figured the others would wait, but then the rest of the team started doing the routine without me. I scrambled to put my skates on.

Fragment
I was in my Spanish classroom.

I wrote my dreams in my written journal this morning, and I can't be bothered to type them atm... I know how you feel!

Yeah, but now I kind of have to type them up...

Pretty good recall last night, but I had to struggle to remember every single one of these dreams. >.>
I went to bed at 10:30 and did a WBTB 3 hours later.

***

1:30 - My alarm went off, but I couldn't remember any dreams.

12:50 - I was in a dungeon/basement, where there was an ice skating/gymnastics show going on. The star of the show was injure, though, so he just walked through his routine. His routine involved a lot of jumping and spinning in the air, but instead of launching himself through the air her just walked (yes, through the air, as standing on nothing) and spun around lazily.
Then there was some stuff about bowling, and then I was back in my room. I was trying to pick what gender I would rather be, but in the end I decided that I was anti-gender and refused to pick one. I went to bed genderless.

5:30 - Christina (from Grey's Anatomy) went broke, so she insisted on not taking food from Birk because she couldn't afford it herself... I think...

6:15 - I was looking at a Baby Blues comic. The mom was talking about something that I don't really remember... She was glad that her emotions couldn't be read on her face and that she had such good self-control and that she was so mature. Something along those lines. She went on a fairly long speech about that, and then her daughter pointed out that she'd gotten chocolate all over her face while she was speaking. At the time I found the irony quite funny.

6:15 (?) - I was at the mall with my mom and younger brother. All of the stores were getting remodeled, so we were just going to their temporary locations. The new stores would all be opening on the same day. My mom and I wanted to come back and see them then. We bought two things: a card and a strange device that was like a thermos, egg beater, and microwave all in one. My little brother and I repeatedly asked the guy in charge of the store what our future homes would look like. We were going to get an island, and I wanted to make sure it had plenty of open space.

Somehow I ended up under house arrest, so I wasn't allowed to leave my room except to take showers, and even then I couldn't leave the kitty area. My little brother's tutor and a little girl were using my room to study math (pre-calculus). I started to join them, but then they made me leave because we only had one book. I was supposed to go take a shower while I waited, but instead I went for a bike ride, partly because I was restless and wanted the exercise, and partly because I just wanted to break the rules. My friend joined me and we talked, but we were both talking at the same time, so it wasn't much of a conversation.

The scene changed so that I was with a group of people walking around the outside of a castle. This was when the people finally realized that I had disappeared and came looking for me. Apparently I was a dangerous criminal, so they were all scared of me and spoke to me really gently so that they wouldn't set me off or something. I just sort of shrugged and followed them. I thought it was funny to see people so afraid of me, including my own relatives.

Suddenly the ground was covered in deep water, but there were little squares of wood to step on. However, they sunk as soon as I stepped on them, so I had to move quickly.

Later in the dream, my little brother and I were on the run and we were at some sort of marketplace. He wanted me to buy a $30 bracelet to replace my hair band because then we would get free cheese. I refused because $30 was about all the money I had and I wasn't about to spend it on a bracelet... Although it was rather pretty. The people at the stands were nice, though, and they gave us the cheese anyway.

8:35 - I was riding up a mountain in a wagon with pedals. It was fairly dark outside. I made it to the top, and then my dad, little brother, some of my little brother's friends, and I started "skiing" down the other side. The slope was so steep that it might as well have been a cliff, and there was dirt and a few boulders rather than snow. I went down in the wagon, but I did turns like I would have if I had been on skis. At the same time I played my DS, despite being in mortal danger. I was reasonably worried about doing a face-plant and going splat, but at the same time I was confident in my abilities because I'd done it before.

We all made it to the bottom of the hill, where there was a river. We "skiied" down this too. The wagon floated pretty well, but I had to be careful not to crash into the boulders in the river. At the end of the river there was a little pool with a dock at one end and a waterfall at the other. We got onto the dock and talked about something... It might have been water crickets. Then we started going back up the river. I glided along the wooden rail on the side of the river (not sure exactly how this worked), but the other people all skied up the river itself. One person had on ice skates and was gliding along upstream, even though there was nothing pulling her. That's so bad for the leather! I thought with a cringe.

(not sure when this dream was) - A person from my school said that he liked me. I wasn't sure how to respond, since I didn't even know his name and I didn't like him back.

***

I should do this more often. o.o

Awesome. Great recall. I'll update with my dreams in a few hours.

Fantastic recall!!

Recall wasn't so great last night. The dreams I did have were somewhat disturbing...

Fragment, 5:30am - Mara and Louise were written in fancy calligraphy.

Disturbing Dream #1, 6:45am - My dad and a family friend warned me to beware of Don Juan/Manuel (one of those names) because he would hurt me if he found me in a dream. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," I told them with a smile. "I'll be lucid. I can handle anything." I went to sleep in the dream, not really expecting him to show up.

Spoiler for somewhat disturbing:

He did. He got all over me, and at the time I thought he was raping me, although in retrospect he didn't get much farther than hugging me. I tried to make him stop, but I couldn't even though I was "lucid" (only in the dream plot). I was completely powerless. I "woke up" (back into the first dream) and was afraid to go back to sleep in case he came back again.

On another note, in the same dream we had a dog named Boomer who didn't even know his own name because we hadn't given him enough attention and never said his name.

Disturbing Dream #2, no clue when - I was biking home with a group of people. It was night time, and we were trying to cross a fairly busy street. I almost got run over waiting for there to be an opening in the traffic. My companions were shocked that I was only wearing a head lamp instead of having several lights.

The scene changed so that I was on a hilly field. It was windy and somewhat dark. I was wearing a bathrobe. There was a 12-year-old boy there too, and he kept asking me questions and trying to make small talk. I mostly ignored him and started to walk away, but he kept following me, which annoyed me.

Spoiler for quite disturbing:

I was about to ask him what his problem was when he lifted up the back of my bathrobe. I shrieked and pulled it back down. "WHAT THE HELL!?!" I shouted at him as I turned around and slapped his face. I pondered the fact that I had just sworn, and in front of a 12-year-old too. I decided that this situation was definitely worthy of screaming "hell." I screamed "what the hell?!" a few more times while slapping him as hard as I could.
He just stood there, staring at me stupidly. At the time I identified him as my little brother, but after waking up I realized that it was just a random DC (I got a pretty good look at his face while slapping him). My dad came, and I stepped back a few feet. He asked the kid bluntly, "Do you want to have sex with her?" The kid nodded. I was extremely disturbed by this. 1) I'm not a pedophile. 2) I thought it was my little brother.

Deciding that I'd heard way more than enough, I went to "my grandma's" house. I'd planned on getting dressed, but my room was sort of in the open. You had to walk through it to get to any of the other bedrooms, and it was really crowded at the moment. I grabbed my clothes and went off to find a closet or something to hide in. I discovered about 5 rooms I had never known existed, including a kitchen. They were all occupied, and we were still short on rooms. We were going to leave for a girls' night out or something, which I didn't really want to go to because 1) I wasn't dressed, and 2) we'd only just returned.

Talking with Walms, don't know when - Walms sent me a list of all his favorite Dream Journal entries from various members. I wasn't sure what to say. Somehow we ended up talking about zoos, and he explained to me that he had to volunteer there (he was giving some sort of special service) because the zoo couldn't afford to hire him.

Fragment, don't know when - Something to do with ice skating...

Typing those dreams up, I couldn't help but giggle a little. But seriously, at the time they freaked me out.

He did. He got all over me, and at the time I thought he was raping me, although in retrospect he didn't get much farther than hugging me. I tried to make him stop, but I couldn't even though I was "lucid" (only in the dream plot). I was completely powerless. I "woke up" (back into the first dream) and was afraid to go back to sleep in case he came back again.

Whoa, this sounds scary ;/

There, there.

"Do you want to have sex with her?" The kid nodded.

I can totally picture that. HAHAHA.

Good job on the recall. Recall is a one-way path to lucids =)

Let's SD tonight! FUCK YEAH!

I still feel like I could have done better on the recall. But it is better than before. =)

Let's SD tonight! FUCK YEAH!

Yeah! =D

Awesome dreams and excellent recall.

I joined a group of canoeing warriors.

Ha. That sounds pretty cool.

I tried to make him stop, but I couldn't even though I was "lucid" (only in the dream plot). I was completely powerless.

I hate those nightmares.

Those types of nightmares usually make me feel ill in the morning Sometimes I debate whether to even write them, or just forget them! I usually go with forgetting them. I think it's probably best to write them, though... might be the sub-c trying to work something out!

@Percy: Thanks! =D
@Samael: It was... I kind of wish I'd written that dream down in more detail (the canoeing one, not the nightmare).
@Serenity: Yeah, I also thought about just forgetting about it... But I said I'd write down all of my dreams since Axel and I are trying to SD.

All I have from last night is a fragment about physics. >.>
Oh well. Tonight the test will be over and I'll be able to focus again.

My pen died halfway through this dream. =/

I was ice skating, trying to do a fairly simple dance step with a flip in the middle. It should have been easy, but I kept stumbling over my edges. Then I left the rink and started driving home in a stick shift car, which was hard even though I just kept it in gear 2 the entire time. I almost crashed while shifting lanes, but overall I'd say I drove better than usual in dreams. I turned left into a park and started talking to the family using the swings. Someone made a really funny joke (at least, at the time it was funny), but I can't remember it.

The scene changed, and I was watching Fantasia. They were trying to get the crowds to rock in unison, but none of the rows were doing it except a few, including my own.

Crazy Cousin

My cousin was living with my neighbor. She was also pregnant, and every now and then she had a crazy attack and went totally insane.
Her: I'm dating someone on the internet.
Me: ...
Her: His name's Jeff (referring to Jeff777)
Me: Yeah, I know... (apparently Jeff had told me about this awhile ago)
Her: Why didn't you say anything?
Me: That would be kind of creepy, wouldn't it? "Oh, by the way, I know who your online boyfriend is"? Can you say stalker?
Her: I just hope I don't go crazy again. I'm not sure he'd put up with it.
Me: Uhh yeah not going crazy is probably good.

My little brother was going to a school for people who are mathematically challenged (IRL he's practically a genius when it comes to math). He got a handout with a calendar on it. Each day had a different activity, but they were all really weird things. For example, one day he had to repeat the mantra "I hate math" and then see whether his temperature rose.

I looked at my two cats, and both of them had extra white spots. Gracie had a white number on her chest too. I figured it was the number of kittens she was going to have. At the moment it said three, but I knew that if we weren't careful it could go all the way up to 100.

I almost crashed while shifting lanes, but overall I'd say I drove better than usual in dreams.

Ah, driving in dreams. DCs beware.

Her: I'm dating someone on the internet.
Me: ...
Her: His name's Jeff (referring to Jeff777)

Ha. I just think it's really cool reading about everyone dreaming about each other.

Lol, exactly.

Haven't you had dreams about other DV members? Oh wait, you're trying to DS with Walms, right? -looks at join date- I didn't realize you were that new.

Tried the recall technique where you write down what you did during the day. It seemed to work pretty well, but it's only been one day.

The Boat
I was on a large ferry boat, which a bunch of people were boarding to escape from something. The ship was docked near a snowy mountain with a road going down it. There was a long line of cars with people waiting to be rescued, but we only had room for a small fraction of them and had to leave.

I went into the ship's seating area, but I couldn't decide where to sit, so I went out to the deck, where a couple of people were putting on a play/dance. As I walked by them, I did a routine reality check out of habit, but for some reason I kept counting the wrong number of fingers. I got annoyed and forced myself to come up with the right number, then continued on my merry way.
DAMNIT!
*ahem* err... GOSH DARN IT TO HECK!
Needless to say, upon waking up and realizing what I'd done I was slightly annoyed.

Anyway... So I started talking with this lady who worked on the ship. She was like a flight attendant, only for a ship, and with more power. We wandered up some stairs, only the stairs were gone except for a tiny ledge. I'm still not sure how I managed it, especially since I was wheeling my bike along with me. The ship was also rocking a bit, and the lady was telling me about how she was worried that we would all die once the ship got going faster (I guess the boat would rock too much for some people to handle). It wasn't the most reassuring situation.

We got to the top of the stairs and ended up on a street, where some people were having a parade. My friends were riding a Harry Potter-related float. There was a round container on it with an opening that stuff fell out of. We started driving along beside them, but we were moving down the street so fast that I almost lost my Peter Pan hat.

I'm not sure exactly where I was for this, but I suddenly wasn't wearing any clothes. Rather than freaking out like I normally would, I just shrugged and put them back on... no big deal... (I now wonder why this is such a huge problem in so many dreams. I mean really, most of the time you have access to clothes, even in a dream, right?)

I was at my middle school's bike cage. I'd unlocked my bike and was about to leave when I realized that I'd forgotten something, so I unlocked my bike. My friend came over and asked what I was going, so I told her I'd forgotten something. I returned to the ship and read a couple of posters with mottos on them. Apparently it was important that I remember them, and I was trying to memorize them when I woke up.

Mountain Climbing
I was hiking up a mountain with some DCs, and we discussed the merits of vertical (mountain) vs horizontal (open field) trekking. I was in favor of fields, since there was no slope, but according to one of the DCs mountain trails were shorter, since there was an end instead of just walking indefinitely. Another DC was trying to show off his hiking skills by stepping between two rocks that were spaced pretty far apart. He almost fell of a cliff.

Cat-Spider =(
I was in the kitchen, and there was a HUGE spider... Only it had four legs and resembled a cat. It wasn't like a combination; instead it switched between the two at the most inconvenient of times. I called Gracie (my cat) so that she would kill it, and she came running. She started chasing it, but it moved faster than her so she couldn't catch it. I was rooting for Gracie when the spider turned into a cat and started attacking both her and my other cat. The cat-spider was much bigger than both of my cats, and it was poisonous. I screamed and tried to kill the cat so that it wouldn't hurt my little angels, but at the same time it was still a spider and I didn't want it to bite me.

I did a routine reality check out of habit, but for some reason I kept counting the wrong number of fingers. I got annoyed and forced myself to come up with the right number, then continued on my merry way.
DAMNIT!
*ahem* err... GOSH DARN IT TO HECK!
Needless to say, upon waking up and realizing what I'd done I was slightly annoyed.

Noooooo!!!

That reminds me of my last RC in a dream! I recognized a DS, thought to myself, "I've been dreaming of those lately," and completely ignored it after that. WTF?

but I suddenly wasn't wearing any clothes. Rather than freaking out like I normally would, I just shrugged and put them back on... no big deal... (I now wonder why this is such a huge problem in so many dreams. I mean really, most of the time you have access to clothes, even in a dream, right?)

Yeah, I dunno. It's weird, sometimes I freak out, but most times, I just snap my fingers and clothes pop onto my body.

Another DC was trying to show off his hiking skills by stepping between two rocks that were spaced pretty far apart. He almost fell of a cliff.

That's hilarious.

The spider dream gives me shivers

I now wonder why this is such a huge problem in so many dreams. I mean really, most of the time you have access to clothes, even in a dream, right?

Well, if you're not lucid at all, then that might not occur to you. I think those dreams are about the feeling of embarrassment, rather than just being about the situation: not having clothes. Of course, if you're even a little aware that you're dreaming, not such a big deal.

I've had dreams of my clothes randomly shifting into something embarrassing, more often. It's more difficult to find decent clothing once everything, everywhere has shifted into sheer lingerie.

Haven't you had dreams about other DV members? Oh wait, you're trying to DS with Walms, right? -looks at join date- I didn't realize you were that new.

Samael: Tricking people into thinking I'm not new since March 2010.

Yeah, we're working on that. Apparently I've shown up in one of his dreams, but I haven't had any luck finding him. Anyway, it's still neat following a bunch of different journals and seeing them reference each other.

ETA:

I side with the DC, myself. Mountains are just more interesting.

Woah, the cat spider is intense... yet it sounds very cool. You should draw a picture of it!

I definitely would do this if I could draw. I would love to be able to draw all of my weird DCs/dream scenery, but alas...

Fragment... But I finally got lucid!
I was over a city at night (a bit like the city from NiGHTS). There were a bunch of platforms and conveyor belts just randomly floating over the city, and I was jumping between them. I was hanging off of a conveyor belt and wanted to pull myself up on top of it but couldn't (I was on the end of the belt that would dump me off). I was somewhat worried about falling to my death, but it really felt more like I was just waiting to realize that it was a dream so that I could fly off. Finally I became lucid and let go of the platform, knowing that I could just fly. Unfortunately I had bad recall last night and can't remember what happened after that.

I wrote down another dream too, but I'm too lazy to go see what it was. It was short, and not overly interesting.

Cities, heights, and jumping! What more could a dreamer ask for? Flying, apparently.

I definitely would do this if I could draw.

You could if you would.

There were a bunch of platforms and conveyor belts just randomly floating over the city

Kind of sounds like the Jetsons, in a way!

Grats on the lucid! I finally DILD'ed again, too and promptly woke up, again /sigh
