Gemini Man's Dream Journal

[Gemini Man]

Creative title, huh. Anyway, last night I couldn't sleep very much so I only got one bland dream and one fragment. 6/22 I haven't shaved for about 5 days and I look pretty bad. I am wandering around my old high school campus. Everyone seems to be walking the opposite direction as me wherever I go. People try not to look at me and some stifle laughs or looks of disgust. Something else was wrong about me besides the not shaving thing, but I can't remember what it was. Fragment: Someone that I have debated politics with on an online message board (can't remember who; might be fictional) is a big black cat sitting in someone's lap on my dad's lazyboy.

6/23 Last night has been somewhat successful. I had 2 dreams and 1 fragment. 1st dream: Perfect example of my mind wandering before I go to sleep. The last thing on my waking mind was the series Stargate. My mind went to the ZPM, which is a source of a huge amount of power in Stargate. I imagined General Hammond (a character in, you guessed it, Stargate) saying that a ZPM could provide a big source of power to Earth. I then imagined playing Sim City 4 (I'm a pro) and buying a ZPM to power my city. Sometime between thinking about Stargate and now I fell asleep and I now dreamt that my friend kept telling me to get off Sim City 4 and do something else. I remember arguing that I'm just about to put a ZPM in my city, but I finally gave in and quit the program. When I got back to the desktop, Sim City 4 automatically turned on again. I quit it again, but it just kept turning on over and over again. 2nd dream: I'm visting a new space center in Venezuela. Suddenly, there is a world wide earthquake and all the buildings fall down. I'm helping more and more people free of the rubble, and we all stay together in this pack of people. Somehow, I wander to my hometown (on a different continent nonetheless) and I stop. I find a computer with working internet, and I look, but there's no news about the earthquake. I don't know how i knew it was worldwide. Fragment: Woman in a ranger uniform in a pickup truck holds a gun to someguys head while he and another man standing next to him point guns at her. She shoots and kills the one she's pointing the gun at, then quickly kills the other one before he can shoot her.

Last night I had two odd dreams. Dream1: Warning: This is creepy.I'm in a hospital. I'm not sick or injured, so I don't know why. All around me, people are dying. The creepiest part about it is that the doctors seemed not to care very much. The doctors are laughing, and standing around while a bunch of patients are dying. Some of them are reaching out for the doctors saying "Help Me!" but they do nothing. One guy is still breathing and they put him in a body bag. I say "Wait! He's not dead yet!" They say "He will be soon!" and laugh. I feel completely hopeless to do anything. The hospital appears to be the one from ER, though I do not recognize anyone. Dream2: I'm back in high school and I have to read a short story I wrote to hundreds of people. Can't remember much of what it's about except that the ending was really ironic and involved someone accidentally killing someone else who had previously saved their life. Fun, huh. The thing is the English teacher insists on interrupting me. The weird part was that as I was speaking, I was seeing the story play out as if it was real with my voice in the background. I didn't even think that was weird, I just kept on reading. It reminds me what they do on tv sometimes when people recite a memory in a 1st person account; they show what the person's saying instead of showing them talking the whole time. 6/24

[Gemini Man]

First off, I had no dreams on 6/25 because it was a rather stressful day and days like that bring on my insomnia. I didn't fall asleep that night. Last night, I got one short dream and one really short dream. 6/26 Dream 1: This is in 3rd person. Two people are running from the police. They run into an abandoned building. They are too big to hide in the cupboard, so they cut their own arms, legs, and head off with a knife, and then, somehow get each of their body parts into individual cupboards. Dream 2: I'm searching for someone with a weird name. The landscape is filled with fog and I'm in open water, rowing on a boat made of reeds.

[Gemini Man]

Alright, on 6/27 I didn't have time to write down my dream on paper or this online journal, so I will write what I remembered from then, which is not much. I think I had three dreams, but I only remember part of 1. 6/27 Dream: President George Bush owns one large building, and some other impoprtant politician owns another one. They have put big billboards with their pictures on them on top of their respective buildings. They agreed to race each other to the top of their respective buildings for some political decision. I don't remember who won or what it was about. 6/28 Now on to today, 6/28. This morning, I think I almost did a DILD! Then something weird happened. You'll see. In the excitement, I forgot the other dream I had, although I know I had one. Dream : I'm in the local library with my ex-girlfriend. Of course in the dream, she's still my girlfriend. We walk around and talk, but I don't remember what we say. We're about to leave, and I notice something's odd, though I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm close to figuring it out when the whole world becomes yellow and distorted for a second, and at that instant it dawns on me that we broke up a long time ago and I must be dreaming. I wake up immediately as I make this discovery. I wouldn't call it an LD, but it's certainly progress. Anyway, I was still tired when I woke up, so I let my mind drift to go back to sleep, and it only took me about 5-10 minutes. Usually, falling back asleep in the morning takes me more than 30 minutes if I can do it at all. This meant that the dreaming incident was still in the back of my mind as I fell asleep, and I was thinking about my ex-girlfriend and holding her hand. Suddenly I realized that I could feel her hand as I was thinking about holding it, and my first thought was: This is a lucid dream, I've somehow done a WBTB! For a while, I just laid there, making sure I really felt it. I could feel it moving just like I remembered. It was dark and I slowly opened my eyes to see my bedroom. The sensory hallucination immediately disappeared and here I was, just laying in bed. I did a few RCs, but I wasn't dreaming. That was really weird, but I'll consider it progress. Edit: I now know that was SP.

[Gemini Man]

6/29 Dream 1: Some people made weird replies to my dream journal on this site. One reply was almost exactly like "y0ur dr33ms R 5000000 45ome m4an!!!!1!!!!11" Another reply suggested I should recieve counseling. I had several pages of dreams and they were really weird. Dream2: There was this poster advertising chocolates with this beautiful woman on it. I turned the corner and there she was. She told me to go to Lebanon to study this big rock, so I did. The rock was a perfect sphere with 1/4 of it embedded in the ground. The surface of it was covered in evgraved hexagons which had engraved symbols inside them. The symbols looked like the ones from Stargate and the color and design of the rock also looked like the Stargate. Fragment: A big blue gem and the word "destiny".

[Gemini Man]

6/30 Just a note: Often I can remember 3 or sometimes 4 dreams in a night but I'm going through some problems right now. Ahhh life. Anyway, things should clear up soon and I should be cranking out 2-4 good dreams a night soon. I'm going to be gone for a few days without access to internet, and I don't know if I'll be able to put dreams during that time on this site. Anyway, here is my one dream from last night. Dream: I'm with my former highschool english teacher and my old friend. We're getting ready for a big journey on a big boat with a bunch of other students. We set off, and it starts to sink. The water is really rough and he have one too few lifejackets. We quickly draw straws to see who won't get a life jacket, and it's me. My friend offers me his lifejacket, but of course I refuse it. I wake up as I fall in the water.

[Gemini Man]

Alright, I'm back. I remember dreams from 7/2, 7/3, and today, 7/4. 7/2 Three dreams. Dream 1: I'm really upset about something. A lot of people try to cheer me up about it. I'm at my grandparent's old house. Dream 2: 3rd person. A documentary about birds and their eggs. Something about the eggs falling out of nests. Dream 3: I open a window, and a swarm of huge bees flies in. I put up my hands reflexively, and one big one embeds itself into the side of my hand, but there is no pain. The dream becomes yellow and distorted and I wake up. This is the second time it has done that. I think it happens when I am about to realize I'm dreaming and become lucid. 7/3 Dream: There is a car chase. I'm in the car being chased with some weird people. The people who are chasing us aren't police, but other weird people. They corner us, and we get out. Suddenly, a middle aged fat guy turns into what looks like a young gang member wearing all black. He says it's "for combat". 7/4 Dream 1: I'm watching a weird movie in a dream. I wake up from it and it is a false awakening. I talk to my cousin about the movie and he says that the main character sounds like him. Dream 2: I'm trapped in a small room where parts of the checkered floor start rising and falling rapidly and the furniture dissappears into the floor.

[Gemini Man]

Alright, on 7/5 and 7/6 I barely slept, so no dreams. On to 7/7, I got 2 dreams. Dream 1: 3rd person. A boy attends a school for guzzling root beer. Or it wasn't really a school, it was a bunch of teachers standing around. This is somewhere in a Middle Eastern desert, the boy is Middle Eastern, and both he and the landscape are from a movie I saw in real life. Anyway, this boy travels very far on foot to enter the root beer guzzling championship. When he gets there, he finds that all the teachers show up to support him. Edit: Just like to note that I had SP after waking up from the first dream, and before the 2nd dream. It was weird, I felt like I could move my arms very slowly, but they stayed exactly in place and I was moving phantom limbs. I was trying to do an RC when I realized that I must be in SP, not a dream. Dream 2: There is big rock slide by my house, and big boulders block the only road out. I talk to a lot of people, and things happen that I forget. The big boulder is fight in front of a mentally disturbed person's house (not real). We are all trying to destroy the boulder with pickaxes. When we finally do, the mentally disturbed guy goes into a fit, and I end up driving him all over, looking for a place for him to go. I end up going to a place that offers free mental care for 5 months and I drop him off. The place has hundreds of big oak trees.

[Gemini Man]

OK, my sleep has gone down the tubes and I'm not sure why. Therefore, I'm having very few dreams. I hope it's a temporary thing. 7/10 I had two dreams but remember one by the time I'm typing this. Dream: 3rd person. This guy is in this dock complex and it is really dark. He has a gun and he robs people, then lets them go. He keeps one guy around though. He reveals his plans to build a tiny, artificial, mobile island. The guy he holds with his gun eventually becomes loyal to him and becomes his minion. The whole dream is creepy.

[Gemini Man]

On 7/11 I had 2 dreams. Dream1: I am back in my old martial arts class, and the instructor keeps telling me to do the same kata over and over again. He criticizes me the whole time. Each time I finish one, he looks a little different, until gradually he becomes this really creepy looking guy. Dream 2: I'm watching a play that my sister's in. Some actor becomes too nervous to go onstage, so someone runs to the audience and tells me to take his place. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I'm very nervous. On 7/12, I had one dream and one fragment. Dream 1: I emailed this guy (in real life), and he responds (in my dream) with some really weird email that calls me weird names and it sounds like it comes from a schizophrenic or some such person. Fragment: I had a retainer in my mouth a few years ago (in real life). Now I have it again (in the dream), and it's really big and weird looking.

[Gemini Man]

7/13 Yay! First real lucid dream. DILD is for me. I had a lucid, and then a non lucid. Lucid: I start out non-lucid, running through the forest at night. I stop to rest at an abandoned building, two people come up and one asks me if it used to be a certain restaurant. I say yes even though i don't know. The other person takes a look inside and says no. I start running again. I run up the side of a hill until I find a row of 25 cent candy machines sitting across from my computer in the middle of nowhere in the forest. I reach into my pocket to find a quarter, but I have two dimes. I go over the the computer, wh9ich started displaying small white text, when suddenly I did a nose RC. It felt really weird to breathe through my nose. My nose felt a little numb when I did it. Anyway immediately afterward I felt my eyes were closed, so I opened them to see my bedroom. Oops. I closed them and I couldn't see anything at all. I did another nose RC, and it still worked. I opened my eyes to find my bedroom again. I did a nose RC, hoping for a FA, but it was over. At least I know I can do it now. Non-lucid: I fell back asleep and had another dream. I'm at this place with a bunch of random people I know. We all have to do a presentation in front of eachother. I have to to this presentation with this guy's really young brother. He has a thin red inner tube around him. I get nervous because I can't think of anything to do. Some lady is really weird and gross and some people make her leave.

[Gemini Man]

7/17 Sorry for not recording for the last few days. I've been busy and my insomnia's been giving me a hard time. Here's my dream from last night. Dream: I'm walking along a road somewhere (I think in Colorado). There are other people that are with me, but they are not really with me at the moment, they are somewhere far behind me. I come up to this small store and gas station. I remember being thirsty, so I go in the bathroom and drink from the sink. The people walking behind me catch up and we buy stuff from the store.

[Gemini Man]

7/18 I had a long and vivid dream, but I forgot most of it. Here's what I remember. Dream: I'm helping operate this weird machine with a bunch of other people. Part of what this machine does is recycle junk and deliver stuff. You can see where the recycled stuff gets ground up into powder. I'm supposed to deliver a kitten one time and I accidentally put it down the recycle chute instead of the delivery chute. I realize what I did immediately after I do it, so I jump in after the kitten. I grab it just before it gets ground up and I manage to climb out. Everyone criticizes me for my mistake.

[Gemini Man]

7/19 A man holds me at gunpoint. He takes me to the bank to withdraw my money. Along the way, I manage to take the gun out of his hands. I make him take me somewhere. I forget where or why. He ends up fleeing. I remember a laptop had some significance to it.

[Gemini Man]

7/21 Two dreams Dream 1: I found a bunch of money and somehow I knew that it was supposed to belong to me. A certain person is with me and we split the money. We decide to hide it, so we put it under a rock. We didn't know that there was an easter egg hunt; some kid found it and took it away shortly after. Dream 2: I'm on some kind of covert mission. I'm running all over this building with a gun and people are chasing me. I meet up with some other people and we're all running around in circles. We go to a window and jump through to an adjacent building. This building is apparently having a play involving soldiers and the people there assume we're a part of it when we run onstage. The people chasing us come running in, but they don't know who we are since there are plenty people dressed in black and with guns onstage. We have to pretend like we're part of the play. It was really funny, the actors looked at us strangely while I made up stuff off the top of my head. 7/22 1 fragment. Something about a rocket ship with thousands of people on it. 7/23 1 dream. There was some kind of nuclear winter. I was in LA. Eventually, only 15 people in LA survived, including myself, in some kind of underground shelter. It was filled with plants and food and all kinds of things. Edit: I had put the months as 6 instead of 7.

[Gemini Man]

7/25 One dream. I'm taking a Sim City 4 class. (Which should have tipped me off right away that it's a dream since I'm already an expert ). The instructor (closely resembling a certain former teacher) gets upset at me and makes me edit this region that looks like the Hawaiian islands (except that it has way too many islands), I enter a city and a weird gray blob is traveling down a small river. I get all freaked out for some reason. I yell "There's a weird blob in the city!!!! OMG!!!" over and over again, much to the amusement to the class.

[Gemini Man]

7/29 Sorry about the last few days, been sorta busy. Dream: I'm in this competition where all sorts of puzzle and intellectual games are involved. Everything from chess to tetris to riddles and stuff like that. I'm playing tetris when I notice one of the pieces has 5 blocks instead of 4. After I put it somewhere, a 6 block piece drifts down. And of course, they keep getting bigger and impossible to place until I lose. I lose the competition and try to complain to the manager of it. (The manager looks exactly like someone I know with a voice from a different person that I know.) He calls me crazy, and says that bigger pieces than four blocks cannot possibly appear in the tetris games. I take him over to the machine, which now has all four block pieces.

[Gemini Man]

8/1 Last night I had a weird dream. I remember a part of it. I also had a dream that is part of a book that I'm reading. Dream 1: The large room, or area is completely white. There is a clear river moving inside it. On opposite sides of the river there are little rooms. Me and this other guy have to do something in one of them We end up just goofing off. He finds a huge dead bug and squeezes it and yellowish green stuff shoots out. He chases me with it and keeps shooting me with this big juice. I find a bathroom and lock myself in it. He somehow shoots the juice through the doorknob or something. I find another bug in the toilet and open the door to shoot him back. But I didn't realize that this bug is living. The other side of the door is now a huge grassy plain. When I squeeze the bug, it like vomits the stuff all over and clings to my hand. The stuff is spraying all over my face and my shirt. The bug completely drenches me with the stuff (how that much stuff came out of it I don't know). I try to rip it off and bang it against the ground, but it sticks to my hand. I don't exactly remember what happens next, but I have to explain what happened to whoever it was that assigned us to do whatever we were supposed to do. Dream 2: Not too interesting, I woke up, read a book for a while and fell back to sleep (in real life). I dreamed that I went back to a place that was the site of a major event in the book and I talked to other people about the event, it wasn't really interesting except that I had a half eaten candy cane in my pocket that had nothing to do with the book.

[Gemini Man]

Sorry to keep you waiting, especially to whoever that was that rated my journal a 5 . Anyway I got a really bad sunburn a few days ago and it's been killing my sleep and my recall. But last night I remember a short part of one dream. 8/6: I'm intravenously attached by a large tube to this certain other guy. Blood fills the clear tube which is about a half inch wide and 3-4 feet long. We're out to plant bombs in some kind of space station because they're going to launch some kind of missile to the colonized moon or whatever. One of the bombs is about to go off prematurely as soon as we set it. So yeah, we're running connected by a tube of blood through a futuristic space station with guards or whatever chasing us. Alarms sound, scientists in white coats go running, you get the picture.

[Gemini Man]

8/7 2 dreams, 1 fragment Dream1: I'm in Montel's house. It looks a lot like my house except that it's laid out differently. There are a bunch of people there and a bunch of little munchkins running around. It's raining really hard and starts to flood. Water is filling the house. It gets up to my knees and I say "Shouldn't we put the munchkins on the tables and chairs?" Someone says "We should put them under the tables." I'm thinking "WTF under the tables?" A bunch of cats come running up the stairs and someone says "Poor cats they're all wet" or something like that. Dream2: There is this band playing in the middle of nowhere next to a cliff where there is a river or something at the bottom. I'm really thirsty so I try to climb down the cliff to drink out of the river. When I get to the bottom, the leader of the band is there. I offer him a shirt I don't need. As he puts it on his ring falls into the river and a creepy dark creature takes it and runs into the forest across the river. He says "It's just a shirt." over and over again. I think he means to say "It's just a ring." The sky is really detailed. The clouds are all different colors and they are tumbling with the wind. Fragment: I have a drawer somehow under my pillow. It's filled with empty skittles wrappers.

[Gemini Man]

8/8 2 dreams. Dream1: There is a huge storm coming in. Everybody is preparing for it. When it comes, lighting strikes the house and wind blows out windows and stuff like that. Not too interesting. Dream2: I'm at my friends house and he and his mother are there. They have to leave for a while, but this other guy is still there. Some stuff that's really weird that I can't explain happens. When they come back my friend is angry for some reason and runs after me with a ball of pink bubble gum in his hand.

[Gemini Man]

I haven't have a chance to record my dreams for a few days and have subsequently forgotten them. I do remember last night's dream though. 8/12 I don't know exactly how explain this, but I was going to go hiking, and I was in the forest on a mountaintop with a view of the forest below. This guy led me into a hut where this other guy started attacking me. I ended up throwing him off the side of the mountain. The guy that led me in said "Now you are ready" or something like that and made patches of forest turn different colors like a map. He asked me which trail I wanted to go on and I pointed to the part of the forest that was bright blue and he said "The Utah trail."

[Gemini Man]

Alright, I'm not going to give you another excuse for why I haven't recorded anything here. I have good news though. I had another DILD!! . Yeah, it was better that the first two. I say first two because I didn't write the second one in my journal because it was even worse than the first one. So I have had 3 lucid dreams since starting. I also had a non-lucid last night. Lucid: The terrain I'm on is slanted slightly, like the side of a hill. It is dark. Night with no moon dark. In the distance, I see mountains barely noticeable in the dark. I now realize that these are the mountains visible from my back yard. There are no buildings, but parts of them are everywhere. Walls and floors and stuff just scattered. I remember a pillar that looks like it could be from an ancient temple. I remember a checkered floor. I remember the Wikipedia logo, you know the ball made out of puzzle pieces with symbols on them, just suspended in air. My thoughts were very incoherent. I remember realizing it's a dream without an RC, and looking down at my hand and flexing my fingers. I remember thinking, "Um this is a dream. Yeah it is. A dream. A lucid dream." I could only half feel my body. There was absolutely no sound. I think I tried to talk but no sound came out. I thought about flying and I started floating in the standing position. I started was a few feet off the ground and I started moving over the terrain at about the speed of a run. I came back to the ground and saw a hot asian girl. She was standing almost completely still. I touched her arm and only half felt it. She then disappeared. I thought, "Bring her back" but she didn't come back. I then noticed that everything was getting darker. I remembered that spinning is supposed to help keep you in the dream, so I spun several times, but it was still getting darker. I spun several more times at a faster speed, but that didn't help. The dream turned black, and I woke up. Nonlucid: I have to find these people and I know they are in Southern California/Western Arizona, so I go to San Francisco to get a plane there. On the way there I have to take these pills, There are two pills for specialized purposes that are written on the wrapper thing above each one. I accidentally take the ones for backache but then I realize I have a backache, so I don't mind. I take the correct ones. I have to do something weird and people laugh because it looks so weird. Somebody criticizes me for going at an inconvenient time. I keep telling them I have to go, but they don't listen.

[Gemini Man]

Hello again. I'm trying to focus on lucid dreaming right now, so I'm not minding my non-lucids. Once I get my lucids going, I'll record more non-lucids. I'm doing this because when I wake up in the middle of the night, I can't concentrate on remembering my dreams and trying to lucid dream. I had another lucid, although it was only half lucid, if that makes sense. 8/28 I'm meeting the president. I go up to shake his hand, but I'm so nervous, I offer the wrong hand. How embarrassing. I realize all of a sudden that it's a dream and that I can undo it. So, I turn back the time, and handshake correctly. It never occurred to me to do a RC or do something other than this silly scene, and the dream ended shortly after that.
