RobotGymnast's Dream Journal

[RobotGymnast]

There are a huge number of dreams in my memory.. although I probably won't remember each of them without some sort of provocation. However, I'm going to start my journal with my dream from last night, and not bother backdating. My journal was originally in OneNote, so I'm just going to paste it over. Err.. this makes references to the Bone comic series and the Smallville TV series. I was Fone Bone and somehow at my fathers's apartment. Grandma Ben killed a pizza boy in the pizzeria we were in (and, I think, seduced them first), and got mad and thought I was strange when I got freaked out at the death (much like the chicken head scene in Bone). I than began to run away, out of the pizzeria, and down main street (in my town), which was decently well-lit do to the street lights. Not many cars were going by. I ran up to that place where there's always a hill in my dreams (right by the river, the sidewalk curves up sharply in my dreams, much more sharply than in reality). Right before I hit the river area, I thought "Wait, this is a dream", and, immediately, running became easier. I then did an RC of plugging my nose, which actually indicated I was awake (I even got the slight chest constriction that occurs when you plug your nose for a bit). Disappointed that my RCing was failing, I continued on, thinking "that's stupid. It seems redundant if I know it's a dream. I wonder why the RC failed." I then proceeded to jump very high, levitate a bit, and try to run fast (which failed). I think it's at this point I became Smallville's Clark Kent. As Clark Kent, I had some guy's football jersey on, I think as a congratulation for joining the football team. He was a mix between Whitney and Lex Luthor. He wanted to take a train South, and I wanted to stop him for some reason. So I tried chasing him to the train station. I ran by this car with two stupid guys drinking in it, which I can only imagine would've been the comic relief to this "chase-scene"-type action. As we were running by the tracks to the station, I tried super-speeding onto the train ahead of him, but it failed (I tried slowing time to super-speed). We reached the boarding platform at the Stouffville GO Station, and we got on a bus (which was somehow a train on the outside, but it had the look and feel of a bus on the inside), and I realized I had no money. I tried to super-speed back home to get my wallet, but failed again. When I got back to the main train station, I ran into Lana, who was crying about the Whitney/Lex guy being dead or something. I took off the Jersey he had given me and handed it to his friends in mourning. My dreamsigns I notice from this were Grandma Ben Fone Bone My apartment building looked weird The platform across from my apartment building The pizzeria was very different Steep uphill curve Superpowers and pretty much everything past that point My recurring dreamsigns were The platform across from my apartment building. There IS a deck there in reality, but this platform looks like an addition was made on the building, there's bird crap on it, and it's made of cement. I often jump onto it in dreams. The steep uphill curve by the river on main street often occurs in my dreams My dreams on main street are usually at night. It may be because I rarely go along main street during the day. Superpowers are almost always in my dreams. These are a dead giveaway for me.. rightfully so. The numbness in my body is typical of dreams. I think most of my physical sensation still comes from my physical body, because I never feel cold either, I just feel sort of warm and numb (as my body does under my blanket). Oddly, nothing "tipped me off" that it was a dream. It just hit me that I should ask myself, and I realized I was dreaming. I find it odd that the RC failed when I already knew I was dreaming (of course, that could've been why. It's hard for me to expect it to work improperly, and I'd have more control if I already knew it was a dream).

I don't remember much of this one, possibly because it was all over the place, so I'll need some sort of trigger to remember some parts. References South Park Smallville Fiesta The part that I remember the most is that I was a Cartman/me mix at a water park, and I hadn't bought a ticket to get in (my friend was there too). We had to avoid pretty high-velocity vehicles that would, I guess, go up a slide filled with water and then shoot down this dry tunnel to.. I don't know where. At any rate, when we got to the bottom, two security guards caught us (who, I just realized, might have been that rogue policeman and his wife from Smallville.. one was black, and the other was female), and then after some argument, the place where water came out to coat the slide (gravity didn't seem to be a problem, because it sort of flowing out from the bottom and up the slide) started overflowing, and the woman sort of got worried and started panicking, and the guy said he'd seen it before, and it was nothing. Then I stuck my head into a mini-tunnel (like the entrance to the green maze area in Fiesta), and there were spiders running around, so I pulled back out. I also remember being in my science classroom with a bunch of friends, and I think we were all physically a few years younger (but our minds were exactly the same as they were in reality). The substitute for our science teacher was our rather hot grade 7 teacher, except her skin had gotten a bit worse (I think she got taller too). Dreamsigns Well, I have to say, that aside from not knowing how I got places, there weren't that many. Younger people Water flowing up Vehicles just sort of.. appeared in the tunnel I must've been in a strange school or something Recurring dreamsigns The vehicles just appearing is typical of my dreams Being in "my" school, but it was different. I actually have quite a bit of an alternate school built in my head from one I dreamed I was in

This dream had a bunch of different pieces, and I don't really remember the transitions. References Bone Yoshi Pendragon Series Scrubs Lucidity No consciousness nor active control, but some special skills/abilities. Dream The first part I remember, although I feel that there may have been something before it, was me (I think I was Fone Bone) running beside a landform that was almost cliff-like, but much shorter (just in the fact that it dropped vertically down to where I was), probably ten feet high or so. Surrounding this landform was a lake, although, having been on that landmass in previous dreams, I could tell you that if I walked around on it, I would've reached the mainland (it just looked like an island from all around). The lake seemed to have a bit of a current, because it was rushing over rocks in the shallower area. I was running, somewhat scared, towards a young woman, in a traditional, plain white dress, with her brownish hair in a ponytail. She was telling me to run when I got to her, and we heard the Hooded One , along with some minions, walking around on the landmass. He peered over the edge of the cliff, and he seemed to engulf reality, expanding to fill my vision. Rather than running, I decided to simply fly straight into the darkness of the hood. Suddenly, I was above (I think on the landmass), in a field of small, yellow flowers. I was a woman (Come to think of it, I think I was the woman previously mentioned. I guess my other character died or whatever). I turned to see a ninja (that's right). I picked up a straight stick, maybe two feet long, and he threw a bunch of small weapons I can't remember at me. I decided to try to bat them away with the stick, and surprisingly, succeeded. He took out some ninja stars, and threw them at me. I batted them away, with less success, one embedding itself in my back, about half an inch deep, right between my shoulder blades. As he came closer, probably to kill me, and I knew I couldn't fight him head-on, I asked him to play a game for my life. If I won, I would go, if he won, he could kill me. He agreed to play the game, I don't think he really wanted to kill me, and he took out a game that I guess my character had played before (and it triggered feelings of my real-life swiss relatives, so I guess in the dream, it was a game they had). I couldn't remember it very well, and he knew that, so he put one piece on the grass, facedown. It was a sort of irregular pentagon, with the usual, gray-printed background. He asked me if it should be right-side-up or upside-down. I didn't know. He played both sides a bit, and my family showed up, sort of watching, or just running into the field. It felt like a picnic. I started remembering it; it was called "tower" in german, and he built his side (horizontally) into the "bonus area", where mine was still approaching it. Suddenly, something hit the board (I don't remember what, but I think my mom put something on the board) and messed up all the pieces. I complained, trying to hide my satisfaction at the fact that I had been losing and now we had to start over. I began to run, because then I could get away without playing the game for my life. Suddenly, everybody was gone (I think I must've just forgot about them), and there was a blue and white-clad ninja standing where the old one first had been. His ninja stars were blue and white, and they followed me to some degree. I tried batting them away, but they were quicker too. I don't remember what happened next -it's sort of in pieces-, but I might have had a false awakening (or it was like going from the dreaming world in Bone to the real world). At any rate, I walked from my room into my stepdad's study. After a while, my mom and stepdad came in, I think with nachos, and we sat down in front of the computer (it has a big screen) to watch Scrubs. I was still scared of ninjas, so I asked if we could close the white curtains, which were too small to obscure the windows. I believe I walked out of the room to the furnace room, so I could close the door (it's loud in there, when I saw, out the backdoor, the ninja. I hurried into my room, looked out the windows to the front of the house, and swung my door, trying to lock it. Unfortunately, it swung to the wrong place, and the blue-white ninja came in, coming towards me. Then I was with a group of people, in very foggy, gray weather. We had just gotten a bomb threat, and we suspected it would be in London. We were all given small, red, glowing things, which didn't really have substance to them, but were just sort of light. They allowed us to fly, and the group flew to London. I guess I had some passive control, because I had to imagine what London would be like to steer myself there. I kept imagining another layer of wall with spikes on top (like in medieval times.. I've never been to London), and then realized "if I keep thinking that, I'll never get to the main city", so I took away all but one of the walls, and made the town square. The red things allowed us to pass through solid objects, too, because I flew through one of the spike layers as though it wasn't there. The next part I remember was being with a group of kids my age, in a sunny area next to London (the gray was gone here), telling the one adult about the bomb threat. The kids seemed mistreated, or used for experiments or something, and so were we. There was an area that looked like a jail cell a bit away, and me and my friend (from reality), still had our red things. I guess I must've had the dream before, or my character just had memories, because when we looked at the cell, there was dirt all over one wall, in clumps. I realized that the last person in there (a girl.. maybe even my old character), must've put sand on the walls to encourage anthill sand spider nests, who would burrow out. Sure enough, there were holes between one side of the bars to the other, and huge, dead spiders, with bodies as big as my fist. We looked at eachother, and I told him that, "this time", we could use the red things to get out if we got in the cell. The adult told us that the bomb wasn't in London, because all the spiders and creatures were dead, and there would have been guards guarding the bomb if the "guy" had put the bomb here (which I guess is a reference to Saint Dane and the Quigs from Pendragon). I said there might be no guards to fool him, and the guy walked over to an airstrip nearby, and Will Smith got onto a plane with him. I told my friend I'd like to follow them, because I thought it'd be interesting to see them film (I guess they were supposed to film a movie), or watch the director make them do the same scene 30 times. So we got out red things and followed the plane, back into the foggy, gray skies. I had to, again, imagine where the plane was going, and imagined it curving back around. I realized, at that rate, the plane wouldn't get anywhere, and let it fly back up. I got distracted, though, because the stick I was holding (apparently the red things can disguise, too, because it looked like one of those plants that's a weak, hollow stick with a bulb at the end) broke, and the bulb snapped off. I reminded myself that it was an illusion, and I was still holding the red thing, but I had lost the plane already, and plummeted to the ground. The next thing I remember, I was talking to a guy who had been in the group about the red things, back at my dad's apartment, and he said they only had so much energy. At this point, I got an HUD and saw the remaining "battery" life with random bars full or empty. All the full ones grouped together at one end, and in one color, and I saw I didn't have much left. I realized my friend was still following the plane, and I asked how the red things could be charged. He said it was charged by anything electrical, which gave me hope, because I figured my friend would fall into the city, which would have electricity everywhere, and then the red thing would start working again and he could save himself. I asked the guy how to charge it with something electrical, and he said there was a charged. I asked if I could use his, but he said the group's red things came pre-programmed and pre-charged. I asked where I could find one, and he told me the name of the guy who invented them. I found his house on a map, and drew a path. Suddenly, then, I saw the guy who had been on the plane load Will Smith into his car and open the plane drop doors, forcing the car out, and Will Smith to his death (NO!!!!), along with my friend, whose red thing failed. I knew the red things couldn't turn back time, but I imagined what it would've been like if it had gone differently (of course, imagining in a dream makes it reality, which it quickly became). I was back at where my charge had started failing, and somehow radioed my friend, telling him to get on the plane and save his charge, and slow Will Smith's car before it hit the ground. I flew up to the plane and flew through the floor to behind a seat, where I could stop using the red thing (and its ability to hide me). The guy began to put them in the car, but as the drop doors opened and the car rolled towards them, we somehow killed the guy (don't remember how.. at any rate, he wasn't there anymore), closed the doors, and saved Will Smith (yay!). Then the plane started going down (maybe the guy just disabled the plane and jumped ship.. I really don't remember), and I told my friend that once the ground came into view, he should started slowing the plane down. The ground came into view almost right away, and not very far away, and I was suddenly my friend (who was still hidden by the red thing). I went through the floor and pushed up against the plane, slowing its descent enough that we didn't crash back onto the airstrip. I (through my friend's eyes), looked back to behind the seat and saw myself, but I was a yellow Yoshi. Will Smith thanked us. Dreamsigns My god, if I could list them all.. At any rate, the whole dream was pretty much a dead giveaway that I was dreaming Recurring dreamsigns People trying to kill/imprison me My house being slightly messed up People outside my house My house somehow leading to a bunch of different locations, just by going through different doorways or the like Having powers which later fail

References Smallville X-Men Deadliest Warrior Hellsing The dream I was at my high school, although it was changed around, and my girlfriend had just gotten a new bike from where the hospital is in reality. She left it in the bike rack overnight, and when I came back the next day, I noticed most of the bikes left there had been broken apart. Hers was as well, and my dad said he'd pay the cost of getting a new one. The guy at the store was nice (he was white, in an asian strip mall. I wanted to know if I could get a job), and said he'd give her a new bike for $25. It was somewhat bigger, but didn't really present a problem. I also remember being at the public transit bus stop near the school, walking with my girlfriend towards the hospital. It was winter. I also remember going to visit my relatives in Switzerland (which are on my mom's side. My parents are divorced). For some reason, I visited them with my dad and the extended family on my dad's side. We were in a nice little cottage, but it seemed a tour bus went through the backyard (which looked like the field of my old school), with flocks of annoying people. There are some garbled parts, like me walking downstairs (this part of the house looked oddly like my old friend's house, and, in the dream, I remembered my friend and his mom), my dad going fishing, and some other things involving the rooming. I woke up and walked downstairs to find my dad walking back to the kitchen, where he was making bacon. He asked if I wanted bacon with honey, and then took the knife that had been in the honey and wiped it off on me (like how, in reality, he sometimes dries his hands my shirt.. Now I do the same to him). Unfortunately, I was shirtless, having just woken up, and honey didn't go well on my left side. I asked him if I could have some bacon, and walked back up stairs. I must've fallen asleep, because I came back downstairs and there was nobody in the kitchen anymore (I MISSED THE BACON!?!), and proceeded to go to the sink to wash the honey off my chest. My cousin walked in (who, despite being straight, is rather feminine. He's also a year or two younger than me), with my other cousin (she's 19, and I'm not ashamed to say, very hot). I wasn't really embarrassed about being shirtless, between the fact that we've been swimming and the fact that I've got a nice body. At this point, I remember being in a place I've dreamed of before (I know because I've gone over the old dream a few times. First time I've ever done a back-flip in-dream was in that place). This place had changed a bit, because I seemed to be part of an MMO, and went down to under the pavement I was in to meet with a guy, who was my transport to a new map. I found a bunch of items and the like. I walked towards an office building (which I've also dreamed about before), and the police stopped me. When I asked what for, they showed me angry island people (evidently, I hurt people while running off an island). My next dream "section" was being in a forest, with a big room in it (walls and all), that seemed to have a music control on the outside (looked like a washing machine dial, but with extra buttons). It was the Deadliest Warrior matchup ring, and apparently the next was Wolverine vs Alucard (a match I've wondered about many times, because Alucard doesn't seem killable, nor does Wolverine). I was Wolverine, but I think I confused him with Clark Kent, because I was worried that Alucard would conjure Kryptonite. The battle room looked quite a bit like my room at home (and the door led to the forest or my house, depending on which one I was trying to get to). Alucard adjusted the music dial, which somehow dropped Kryptonite into the room. I noticed that it ran a command-line interface that looked like I might've programmed it. At any rate, I think I programmed it to allow me to win, because the Kryptonite thing would crash if I hit enter (I guess there was an Enter button). I changed the dial, and went in to fight a bit. The next part I remember is being in the hallway beside my room, dropping this little Kryptonite piece. Alucard noticed, and took it outside to the house (I guess to dilute it so he could put any of the water on me). I looked out the back door, where he was, and realized I was dreaming. I closed the door and tried to spin around. I succeeded, and the dream got a bit clearer. I tried rubbing my hands and felt nothing. I then woke up, and it took me a minute or two to realize what had happened. It was a very quick version of the "floating away from the dream" feeling I get when I wake up. Dreamsigns The entire dream was a dead giveaway. Recurring dreamsigns Changing characters Places I know being interconnected or leading together in strange ways People meeting who wouldn't in reality

I don't remember much, because I had to get up to turn off my alarm and go to work. References: Smallville Dream I believe I remember running into a girl I used to take Judo with a few years ago. We were in a weird room, like the very "rich" sitting rooms. It had red everywhere, a fireplace, a red carpet, all that. Anyway, I seem to remember flirting with her a bit, and we got close really quickly. My dilemma came into play when I sort of wanted to go out with her, but I have a girlfriend. I told her that, but it didn't really deter her, because I wasn't really trying to stop her. Some notes I'd like to make are that I believe this was partially triggered by my urge to have a girlfriend that challenges me, and I have a faint feeling that she may have been close to my equal in the dream (like how in the dream I know what's happening where, because it's my dream). She may have also had some powers like me.. I can't quite remember I don't remember much of the dream, so dreamsigns can't really be focused on (none of it was really realistic, come to think of it).

Again, got up to an alarm, so I don't remember much. References Smallville Dream I was Clark Kent. I remember being outside a building, a hospital, and there being a fair beside it, wish blow-up tents and music. I ran into the hospital, where everybody had been threatened and held hostage by a murderer. I found a man, who was a killer, but he swore he had only killed one person, by accident. I and Chloe somehow deduced that he was holding kids hostage in the music store across the street, that that's where the murderer was. I was then in that building, and sitting on a chair. I believe Lana Lang was there. I then realized I was dreaming, and as always, the dream stopped. I don't mean everybody stopped moving, I just mean everything was now inconsequential, that it was sort of like watching a play and hitting the intermission. The mean stepfather will no longer scare you if you see him by the snack tray. Everything's on hold. Everybody felt like a character. Unfortunately, I don't remember what tipped me off, only that it had been a dreamsign. I tried to focus on my sleeping self (despite remembering that the forums said not to, because I would wake up) to clear my head and really get myself out of the whole "dream" mindset. I then had a false awakening straight into another dream, shortly after which I woke up. Recurring dreamsigns Being Clark Kent Murderer

Although this dream was incredibly long, I only remember the last minute or two. References: Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (not really, but it reminds me of that when the seasons change) Smallville The dream: I was in a room, sitting beside a bunch kids my age (mostly guys). One did something (I blank out for a minute here), and then we're in a fight. He seems to feel he's playing his trump card when he returns to his laptop and hurriedly starts bringing things up. I take it from him and laugh; it's a webpage I made, that he copied from me. Additionally, the other window seems to contain C++ code which I wrote, although most of it is his own. I quicky point this out to the people around us. We then leave the classroom, my girlfriend behind me, and cross the street just outside (it's not like we left a building, the room just sort of opened to outside). At some point, we became Smallville's Clark Kent and Lana Lang, but I suppose the entire dream felt like an alternate universe, where our relationship was actually successful. Anyway, we walked by this guy with curly hair in a yellow rain jacket, who was scribbling furiously and looking at us, from the side of the street we'd just left. I immediately attacked the guy, and he became a girl that looks not unlike my girlfriend. She was then standing behind us, behind a bush, and we were walking again. Again, I blank out a bit here, but I feel like I confronted her. At any rate, we were then walking away from her, and she was telling that she had been asleep for 4 years. Something about that caught my attention, because I began walking back (probably because it's an episode of Smallville I haven't seen yet), and I started feeling as though I was walking through a haze. We had a bit of a conversation about why she was inhabiting a different body (something about the old one having disappeared), but I don't remember much. However, unlike Clark Kent, I decided to befriend this girl, and she began walking with us. At this point, we noticed a long cut on the back of Lana's forearm, which extended from her wrist to almost her elbow. She said it was nothing, and the girl said "but imagine if it was your boyfriend. A lot of guys get worried over things like that or if another person's in love with you." And I prided myself on not worrying about things like that, because she said she was fine. The girl then made some comment about me having been superman (which could've meant I lost my powers, or used to be a perfect boyfriend), which I didn't really pay attention to. The girl asked Lana to do a headstand, which set my alarm bells ringing, and took out her notebok again (I remember vividly that on both occasions, it seemed to be soaked in tea or something). I attacked the girl, trying to super-speed towards her (which failed), and ripped the notebok from her hands. I then heard the super-speed sound effect, and some final words from her, and then it became the middle of summer. The place then changed, and looked sort of like a stage set. To our left was a building, maybe two stories tall, but sort of shrunk as though it were far away (just a bit, though). A woman who looked a bit like an Asian version of my aunt stepped out of the door and started yelling and crying about something, and I realized it was the dead mother of one of my friends. To our right was a high-school type environment (and that's what it was), with a door leading to us, and beside it, stairs going down (to a hallway), and stairs going up (to more doors). My friend (the one with the dead mother), came out of the door closest to us, and started to cry after looking at her mother. I put an arm around her, at which point she became immediately cheerful, and sort of silent (which made me later wonder if she was tricking me, or if in this universe she didn't like me). However, when I walked up the stairs, she walked behind me, and when I leapt the railing to the stairs going down (I thought she'd go that way), she turned to face the railing. She began to smile and say something, but it seemed as though she was talking to someone just behind me, even though I don't think she was. I jumped from almost the top of the stairs, trying to grab the ledge above them, but missed, and hit the hallway at the bottom. I did what everybody does when jumping from something high: I landed on my feet, collapsed onto my knees, and then rolled. I then got up, and noticed my knees had that slightly stiff feeling from impact, and I marveled that my dream was so clear. Then I realized I was dreaming. I decided to take control of my dream, before it took control of me again. I tried to shake off the last dregs of the dreamstate, trying to gain a full control of the world, so that I wouldn't lose lucidity like before, or get panicky again, which would make the dream more real. I turned around, to face back up the stairs, and two broad-shouldered, tall, football players walked towards me. I tried in vain to blast them away by pushing my hands towards them. I tried again, but to no avail. As they were almost barreling me over, I stuck out my hands, facing up, and lifted them back over my shoulders, which threw the two guys back, over my shoulders. Just as I was trying something new (which I don't remember), my girlfriend woke me up. Recurring dreamsigns: The entire freakin' thing.

I don't remember much of the dream, but I do remember bits and pieces. It's technically a non-lucid dream, but I had weird abilities, and it didn't really "feel" like it encompassed my whole reality. References: Smallville I was at the bakery in the asian mall by where my girlfriend lives. I remember last time I went there, they only had beef-curry buns (you know those asian buns with the meat inside?), but this time, they had another kind. Remembering what to do, despite my girlfriend not being with me, I loaded up on delicious, delicious buns. There's a bit of a gap here, but I exit the store and Doomsday from Smallville is approaching the mall (I could just feel it coming), so me and a group of friends run down the mall, away from Doomsday. It rips open the mall and begins walking down it. Strangely, unlike most dreams, I was not the behemoth's target, but just another person. We run down to the end of the mall, and turn into a jewellery store. The people inside just look at us sort of weird, and I don't think they know what's going on. We keep going and there's a door at the side, that leads to a green field, with a building that look sort of like a school beside it. We go out it, and sort of forget about the monster (he wouldn't find us). We look out across the field and the buildings, and there's a ledge to our left, a lowered part of the mall, but it's still taller than us. I say we should go onto the ledge, and someone points out that we can't get up there. I say something to the effect of "oh, yeah?", and jump up to the ledge. I wasn't showing off; I feel like we all had the same abilities. Dreamsigns The whole damn dream.. my god, I have so many of those. I really love this dream. It's one of the first dreams where my abilities were carefree. In the abilities where I do have those abilities, I'm usually angsty about something (like a giant monster), or just can't control them properly (I jump to high and don't want to hit the ground). It was wonderful.
