Thread: SamJoe's Book of Dreams.

So this is the start of my Dream Journal. A place where I can document all the wonders of the mind.

Ive had various online DJs but I think it's time to make one permanent one. Where else than Dreamviews?

Ill try to update it every day as I'm sure that it will improve my recall. If I cant manage to update it one day I'll try to write those dreams the next day.

Enjoy, SamJoe

This morning I couldn't write in my DJ because my gf was staying over. I didn't have time to update my dream journal during the day but I'll try to write down all the memories that I have left.

Dream 1:
I remember being at school with my brother and some friends. I was driving circles around the building. Don't have anything specific memories left.

Dream 2:
I was in this weird complex. I was drinking energy drink. There was this lady behind a desk, the conversation went something like this:

Lady: "Do you know that is a brilliant can?"
Me: "Why is it brilliant?"
Lady: "Well if you throw it against somebody it will hurt."
Lady: "Things are brilliant if they hurt when thrown against you"
Lady: "They are not brilliant if it doesn't hurt."
Me: "Okay that makes sense."

Then suddenly a man started to chase me. I ran away from him. He yelled: "Im a bulldog". He managed to catch me and then we both laughed. We started talking about World of Warcraft. There was some band playing in the background.



I'll report back with some new dreams after a good nights rest.

I was quite disappointed this morning. I couldn´t remember any dreams. It´s probably because I went to bed late and tired and there was still some alcohol in my blood.

I hope it´ll be better tomorrow.

Here are some old dreams that I haven´t put online yet:

May 19/20 2009:
I was in Rome in a big park with some people from school. We were watching trains and buses pass by.We walked to a little bus station. We entered an old schoolbus-like bus. After the first bus was filled the few remaining entered a black Rolls Royce. We drove on a large square filled with people. Everyone was jumping away from the bus. There was a large funfair with a giant wheel at the square. We left the bus and went to the funfair. I played a game in which I had to throw balls at some cones to knock them off the table. Everytime I'd hit the centre a weird sound played, it changed if I threw the ball further away from the centre. After I was done throwing balls I went to a computer and started playing an old maze game. I wanted to buy three things at a stand but I didn't have enough money.

May 16/17 2009:
I was Jesus and I was together with Moses on a beach. There were sand dunes everywhere. I was being chased by a giant dinosaur. I ran in the sea but then all the fish and seaweed started to chase me aswell. I spread my arms and yelled:"Mega destruction blast!" followed by a bright flash. Everything was dead except the dinosaur so I did another mega destruction blast which killed it. There were a lot of New York Yankee hats floating on the sea. I wondered where they all came from but then I saw loads of gangsters sitting on the beach.

May 16/17 2009:
I was working in a supermarket (which is one of my dreamsigns). I had to go to someone's office. There was a lady there. She asked me to fill in all my 'eggs' which apparently meant the amount of hours worked. I looked through the window and saw a courtyard with trucks driving on and off. I went to a loading dock and got on the back of one of the trucks together with the lady. We started driving. There was a steep road that led to a forest. There was a highway in the forest. We followed the highway and ended up at the giant supermarket again. We went inside and I started working. I got hungry and decided to buy something. I took a can of "Cherry Cola Ice Tea" and while I was in line I remembered to get something to eat aswell so I got a bar of chocolate. Then after I was done with work I went to some room which had lots of conveyor belts in it. The belts transported a little container with clothes and money in it to me.

Edit:
I just remembered this. I woke up in the middle of the night with my little bed light laying right beside me on my mattress. I must've taken it off the wall somewhere in my sleep.

4 dreams and a FA for you today, what a difference with yesterday.

Dream 1:
I woke up in the middle of the night and quickly jolted down some notes about my dream. I don't remember much of it. I was in Canada, there was a huge blizzard raging outside. I was in a big truck. Hail the size of golf balls was falling from the sky.

(Dream 1)

Dream 2:
Not sure if this was the same dream as dream 1, again I don't remember much of it. I was in my home town. I think I was selling painted vans. They had all trippy colours painted on them. It actually looked quite nice. I got out one of the vans and started walking. I was walking in a street with trees everywhere. It looked a bit like this picture but there were houses aswell and it was in twilight. I ended up at a house with 4 or 5 people in it. We had to do some test on a computer.

(Dream 2)

Dream 3:
I was at my local shopping center with some friends. There was a lady who was selling drinks. We all bought one but the lady kept on talking. She was in some kind of garage. A friend of mine shut the door right in her face since she wouldn't stop talking. There was a flat above is. We all climbed on the building and entered it through a window on the 4th floor. Most of us were drinking a beer. My bottle was all twisted and distorted. They asked me how I made it but I said that it was all natural. It had something to do with snails.

(Dream 3)

Dream 4:
I was on a beach in Sri Lanka together with some friends. There was one huge snail. This dream was right after dream 3 so it's probably connected in some way. We were walking a bit in the sea. The beach kept getting smaller till there was just sea. There were signs along the beach which said:
Vatican Notice: Please kick the sand in order to make the beach larger.
So we did. The waves kept getting more powerful the further we walked. We got back to the beach and then I woke up. The beach looked similar to the picture only at the beach kept getting smaller and higher till there was a small cliff.

(Dream 4)

FA:
After I woke up from the previous dream I was still a bit tired so I decided I would try a WILD. I was completely relaxed and saw some mild HI but I gave up after a while did an RC and fell asleep shortly after. What seemed like 3 seconds later my phone rang. I looked at the screen and it said: "Incoming call from Mitchell". I do know a Mitchell but I never talk to him and I sure don't have his number in my phone book. Well I picked up the phone and the following conversation took place.

Me: Hello, Sam speaking.
Mitchell: Hello, Sam speaking.
Mitchell:*Talking to someone next to him* Who should I call?
Unkown person: Jelle Fisher.
Mitchel: oh.

Then I found myself in bed, without a phone. Ofcourse I did an RC. I checked and my phone was upstairs on a desk. It was so realistic that it was hard for me to believe that it was a dream.


EDIT:
I just remembered something. I was at school and this guy told me that he knew about LDing aswell. He had a DV account, he said. It didn't make me lucid though, ARGH!

I went to bed late and drunk last night and not surprisingly there were no detailed long dreams that I could recall. However, in the early morning after my hangover was gone I could recall 1 dream and I even had a short LD!

Dream 1:
I was in a bar called the Pelican Bar. There were lots and lots of real life friends chilling on couches and at the bar. A girl who I had just met in real life said: "You could've told me that you have a girlfriend earlier, atleast I wouldn't have felt so miserable now." Then my girlfriend entered the room and I said to the other girl: "I'm hers, I love her!" A friend of mine had a joint with him. Instead of normal rolling paper the paper had camouflage colours. That's about all I can recall.

Dream 2:
I was on the border of sleep and awake. I kept getting these real vivid images which then would fade. I did rc's and I knew it was a dream but I wasn't fully in the dream yet. Suddenly I remembered this technique: Malac's Fast Grab. I had this image of me walking in a garden in front of a house. The first thing I saw was the doormat so I grabbed it, which indeed grounded me in the dream. I tried to stabilize the dream by looking closely at the doormat. I saw every little groove. I turned my head around but everything was very dark and blurry. I yelled: "Clarity" which didn't help much. One of my eyes was closed. Shortly after I woke up. The whole dream lasted about 5 seconds, which is a bit longer than my previous ones. Progress!

3 dreams and a massive FA are last night's catch.

Dream 1:
I was working in a supermarket, my classic dreamsign. Didn't make me lucid. After I a while of work I was done and went to the snackbar which is next to the supermarket in real life aswell. There were some guys inside. One was drinking some kind of vodka-ish drink called 'Taw'. It tasted sweet and although it had like 60% alcohol in it, it didn't burn in my throat.

Dream 2:
I was outside. There was a little pond surrounded by houses and streets. There were people walking on the water. I tried to walk on it aswell but the water broke like ice. The other people got of the water. The father of someone I know came chasing me with a flowerpot in his hand. He yelled something like: "Watch out for my flowerpots!"

Dream 3:
I only remember a small conversation with my girlfriend.
Gf:The last bit of a banana tastes awful.
Me:What if you eat it the other way around?
Me:Does the first bit taste awful then aswell?
Gf:No.
Me:Then don't make such a problem out of it.

FA:
Well I had this huge FA. I woke up, had breakfast (in the backyard) and went to school. I overslept and was 2 hours late but luckily my English class was cancelled so there was no problem. A friend was late too but he's always late. When I woke up I was actually amazed that it was just a dream even though it wasn't completely realistic. I was glad to see I hadn't really overslept.

Just 1 dream

Dream 1:
I was once again riding my bike. I was with some friends. One of them was singing 'Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up'. It slowly turned into a race. We went over bridges and through tunnels. I ended up at a house. There was a box inside. Inside the box was a machine gun. I picked it up and it started shooting at random and killed us all.

Once again just 1 dream.

Dream 1:
I was at an abandoned railway station. There was a ticket machine. I only had a 20 euro bill. I inserted the bill and it gave me 10 euros back in coins. I didn't fit in my pocket. I was waiting for other people to come by to get my 10 euro's back. A friend of mine apparently worked at the railway station and opened the machine for me.

I was a bit pissed off with my progress. Poor recall, no lucidity. So I decided to step it up a notch. I guess mindset really does help, last night's result: 5 dreams, about 4 FA's and a lucid fragment . In turn this result got me motivated even more.

Dream 1:
This was my shortest dream of the night. I remember lying in bed with my girlfriend. I woke up and was confused because she wasn't there anymore.

Dream 2:
I though I had woken up. I was in my bathroom and my brother woke me up. He said: "What were you doing there, sleeping on the toilet?" I said: "I must've been sleep walking again last night!" I looked at the clock and I was almost late for school. I went to my kitchen and opened a drawer. There was a box with breakfast inside. There was a weird grinder-like thing to grind cheese with. I ground my cheese but there was hardly any cheese left afterwards.

Dream 3:
I was outside in my street with a few friends, it was dark. They were lighting fireworks. I climbed on a house and had a little firework thing called a 'Rose Darling' which is a Steely Dan song. I lit it and it turned out to be a very crappy firecracker. A friend of mine mentioned something about a €200 rocket. He lit it and it went up in the air. It exploded and it was the most beautiful fireworks explosion I have ever seen. The whole black sky was filled with a shower of twisting red rockets. They disappeared and a tsunami of yellow flashing ribbons appeared. It lasted about a minute before it faded.

Dream 4:
I was outside in a little old-fashioned western style village. There was a theatre. We went in and there was a play ongoing. We had to go outside so we did. Someone said he had managed to get some tickets so we went inside again. There was a guy singing on stage. It sounded a bit eerie. There were exactly 5 seats left. We sat down and at that moment the break began. Weirdly dressed people called 'Thistlers' entered the room. They began hitting everyone with sharp hand-held fans. They had a marker with them. They drew a pig's face on everyone who didn't get up. I had to laugh because someone I knew was dressed up as a pig. I wondered why though. Someone made a pig noise. I realized that there were dirty pigs outside and they would lick the people dressed up as pigs because they would think they actually were other pigs.

Dream 5:
I had to go to work. I was driving my bike through the city I live in. The weather was beautiful and the whole city was filled with tourists. I crossed the road to a parking spot for bicycles. There was a woman. She said: "There is nothing humoristic about Hindus!" There was a weird neighbourhood behind her with little wooden houses. I entered one of the houses and there was my guitar teacher. He had some music playing and tried to play along with it with a weird v-shaped toy guitar. I turned around and turned back again and he was gone but now there were two old blind men. There were a lot of cards on the wall. One of the blind men wanted to pick them up but he accidentally threw them on the ground. He wanted to feel me so he put his hands on my stomach. I tensed my muscles to make me look strong. Suddenly I was lucid. I looked around in the room and everything was incredibly real. I felt the dream fading so I looked at my hands but my hands kept disappearing which pissed me off. I though I had woken up but once again I felt the feeling of a fading dream. I then woke up for real.

Lots of fragments, nothing worth mentioning.

Couldn't write my dreams down this morning. I forgot one I think.

Dream 1:
I was with some friends in class. The classroom was a giant tribune like they have in universities. There were no walls. The teacher was explaining something. During her explanation she left the room and continued to explain stuff outside. She was talking through the window. It was raining outside. I left on my bike and tried to make a wheelie. My bike flew in the air.

Dream 2:
I was in a supermarket reading a magazine together with my girlfriend. I was afraid someone would see me. I started working and 3 other guys were doing exactly the same thing as I was. I forgot the rest of the dream.

I'll do my best to get better results tomorrow!

3 dreams.

Dream 1:
I was at a Morrisey concert with my mother. It was daytime and there were some other bands playing. It was a festival like location. It was dusk and a bit greyish when Morrisey was playing. We took a train home.

Dream 2:
I was in my bathroom together with my brother. My brother was taking a shower but I had to aswell so we decided that we would switch once every minute or so. I had to go to the toilet so I sat down and woke up just when I was about to pee. I almost had wet my bed in real life .

Dream 3:
I was in a giant supermarket. I was thinking to myself: "Is this a dream?" but I quickly discarded that thought with: "No it looks exactly like real life this isn't a dream." The supermarket looked not even like it did in real life though. It was way larger and we were selling more product and the pathways were all crooked. I was helping a customer because she couldn't find something. There were people driving around in little cars.

No dreams today buy something weird though, I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. It said something like 5:06. I then lay down again thinking I could go to sleep again but what felt like a second after I looked again and it was 7:00. It felt like I didn't sleep at all. Could've been a FA.

Couldn't remember any dreams.

Had some words written in my DJ but couldn't recall anything.

At first I could recall 3 dreams, I forgot one though.

Dream 1:
I was at school at the locker-room. All the lockers were crooked and diagonally placed across the room. I opened mine and it was full with drinks and food. I went outside and we were at a field. There was a dark forest. I went inside and hid in the bushes behind a tree for something.

Dream 2:
I was at home watching television. There was an episode of CSI on. A guy I know in real life was playing in it. I went outside to another house. There was the guy from television and a girl and another guy. They asked me inside so I said OK. I said: "I just saw you on television." Then he said: "Yeah I'm in a lot of movies." Another guy I know came to me and said: "I'm in about 10 movies, I do a lot of casting you know." With a weird voice. He said: "I played the nose ape in Madagascar!". I went outside and there was a guy playing guitar. He went away to get beer so I started playing. It was just like real life and I got kind of conscious. I concentrated on the sound of the guitar and suddenly I noticed a SP onset so I must've been awake a bit. I remained calm and opened my eyes a bit. There was a plastic blue poster on my wall and in it's reflection I could see 2 people entering my room. I heard an evil laugh close to me. I wanted to kick and punch it but that made me go out of SP. Then I concentrated and got in SP again and this time it faded after I suddenly made some wild movements.
