I know right? It was so scary.

Today marks the day that I change my dream journal format. Enjoy.

Party at the Navidson House
The edges of this dream are blurry (I.E. The begining, and the end), so I'm going to start in the middle. I was on vacation with my parents, and we were driving around town. I complained about where we were on vacation, and got in a ton of trouble. Things get vivid here: Suddenly we're at some ranomd easter celebration, at some large park with numerous other families. We meet a family friend there, and he invites us to a party he's having.

The scene ubruptly changes, and we're opening the door to his house, to go to the party. Its our own house, at first glance. The back room is HUGE. So large, and filled with corridors and walkways that it wouldn't fit in the biggest mansion. I step outside the house to take a look, and on the outside, the house is the same. ((I just finished house of leaves yesterday. I find this to be very funny.)) I go back in, and look around. My mother announces "Were Home!"

Everyoen at the party glances, and goes back to sipping their drinks. I saw many a fammiliar face. My friends parents, some school teachers, Patrick Rothfuss, Stephen King, Johnny Depp, Buckethead... The list goes on. I go back into the room to mingle, and meet one of my best friends from school. We mess around for a bit, and decide we want to invite some more friends to play a game of hide and seek in this massive house (We seem to be the only ones to notice the proportions of the house. And even though we were the only ones, we reacted to it like a couple of little kids. "Lets play hide and go seek!"... Yeah.). 2 minutes later, 12 more of our friends arrive. One of them counts down from fifty, and we scramble off down the many corridors. I watch one person open up a door, only to find complete, un-illuminable, darkness. He steps through, falls down, and screams.

I pay this no mind. I open up a door into what looks like an office. I sit down on the computer, and boot up facebook. I recieved about 100 happy birthday wall posts from various celebrities, and as I start to reply to them, I wake up.

Inspiration!
Its always been a goal of mine, to have an idea come to me in a dream. That goal has been accomplished.

I was riding my bike around town, looking for something interesting to do. I rode to the park, I rode through allyways, and then I heard someone calling my name.

"Hey! You! Overhere! I have something to show you!!" It was a friend of mine from school. He was in his garage, playing a game on his PC.

He invited me to sit at the PC next to him, and play him at the game.

You play as a millitary 'commander'. You can summon units like infantry, or spies, and command them. Or even control them, by selecting them from your list of troups, and double clicking. Sadly, most of your troups Die very quickly, while as the commander, you can take quite a beating. The commander is customizeable. You can trade health to be deployed with a mech, you can trade speed for mor armor, and so on and so on. I chose to trade health for some speed.

I landed in a jungle/desert. I say jungle/desert, because it was both. Parts of it were jungle-ish, and parts of it were desert-ish. I got deployed to the top of a building in one of the patches of desert. I called in a few troops, so I could get the hang of this. A helicopter swooped in and 5 troops with sub machine guns came down. Using a lazer pointer, I was able to command them from afar, BUT, I could also control one directly, and the others would follow him. It tested this out, and found the enemy commander. He picked us off one by one. It was obvious the commanders were a lot stronger than the troops. I played this game for a little while longer, finding more game mechanics I won't list here, and then something intersting happened. The scene cut to school the next morning. We were in the lunch room. Somone said, "Hey you, You can be the commander, We're going to pick teams!
I picked all of my friends, and its was time to being. It was exactly like the video game I had played yesterday. Except it was real people, getting shot with real guns. I commanded my team expertly (I practiced a lot yesterday), and my team suffered only one casualty before we were able to kill the enemy commander. Then, I woke up.

Comments: Wow... Now thats amazing. I've never gotten such a good idea for something like that in a dream. I might actually have to make this into a source mod! Or maybe not a source mod, but a mod none the less!

Kraft, did you change your DJ format because that program now costs money? If so, EVEN so, you can still do colors without the program...and I like the colors!

That is SO cool that you were in an awesome mansion! And, you were playing HIDE AND GO SEEK .

That is so cool that you thought of an idea from a dream before! I'm not sure if you know this or not, but I have a thread about this, getting inspired from a dream! Well, I have had this too, and it inspired me to make "royal quilling stuff", if you didn't know this already. Anyway, I read through the whole thing, and skimmed it again, and...what exactly was your idea you got from your dream ?

And, Kraft, I miss you in the world record thread and mibbit.

First of all, I didn't even know it costs money now >.<. Second, I'm going to be spending more time in the world record thread, probably tonight, because I have to leave soon. Thanks for reading!!! (The Idea I got was for a game!)

Wait... It costs money now? o.o

[size=12pt]Nightmare Fragments[/size]

The entire night was a long chain of scary dreams. I would wake up terrified, so affraid I didn't even want to get out of bed. Once I tried to deild, and a dream formed around me, but it was so inexplicably frightening I woke myself up. I don't have the words to describe any of these fragments, all I know is that I had them.

I packed an entire life into 2 hours last night. Its way to much to describe, so I'm just gonna leave it at this:
~Went to a liberal arts school
~Met girl of dreams
~Interns at national geographic
~Gets hired at nat geo
~Get in several fights
~Get fired (don't remember why)
~Write novel
~Become famous
~Mary girl of dreams
~Have a daughter named alice

Changed my mind, I thought this might be fun to read:
My Life
Before I get started, I'm going to say that I think this is divided up into scenes, kind of like a movie. In real time, I'd guesstimate it was 2 hours long, exactly like a movie.
Scene 1:
My mother had a heart attack. She was dead.
Scene 2: I go to japan on foreign exchange, finally, I've been saving up for it for years, and finally accomplish my dream. I meet a beautifull girl, I forgot her name, but we dated for a month or two. I left Japan and came back
Scene 3: I'm at a table, applying for college scholarships, I write essay after essay after essay about why I should be accepted.
I get on a plane, and end up at a liberal arts school. I don't remember much, except for doing a lot of drugs. Thats not like me.
Scene 4: I Get accepted to intern at national geographic, my second dream. First I am sent to china, with panda researchers, and a photographer, I have a wonderfull time, but I get the nagging feeling something is empty.
Scene 5: Nat-Geo sends me to south america, brazil I think. I fall in love with a female colleague, yet the photographer is also in love with her. Me and the photographer face off, and I end up stabbing him to death.
I get fired from my internship.
Scene 6: The girl agrees to come with my back to america, so we live in a small apartment. She works at walmart, and I spend all day and night writing feverishly. She wants me to go out and get a job, but I refuse. We have many fights.
Scene 7: I send the manuscript in to a publishing company, and they love it, the book sells wonderfully, and soon enough my wife and I are rich.
Scene 8: She becomes pregnant, and we have a daughter named alice. I begin writing another book. I write all day, and all night, every night. The next book is a huge success. I write my biography, which is also a huge success, I keep writing and writing and writing.
Scene 9: Its time to send alice off to college, she goes to harvard to study law. I finish my book. It is my magnum opus. It is a book that I know in my heart will be read for ages and ages to come. I put it in an envelope, and send it to the publisher. My lifes work is accomplished. I lay down in my bed, thinking of how great a Life I have, and slowly drift off to sleep
Awake: I wake up. My hearts pounding. I look around the room. This isn't my room! Where is my wife? This room is much to small. I look at my bed, the sheets are different. I run to the bathroom and look in the mirror, and it hits me, it was all a dream. My entire life was a mere dream. I collapse on the floor, and think for a moment. Despite everything I did, my life was hollow. I decide from now on out, I will do even more than that. I will have greater adventures, write greater things, and have a better life.

I litterally told everyone I knew this dream. Some people didn't believe me, but oh well. It was genuinely life changing.

sorry - i don't know what's with the formatting... <3 u, kraft

<3 u, 2 cyg!

Gah, The video made me laugh. I love that song.

That is one amazing dream. I especially liked reading your reaction upon waking up.

Wow. Something told me to read your DJ today. Reading this amazing Life Dream brings tears to my eyes for some reason. Dreams like this dare all of us to embrace greatness and adventure.

I hope you have time to write the entire dream in detail. I know it will take you hours upon hours, but I think you should do it. I think you can remember it, if you just go slowly. Start at the beginning. Close your eyes, and think of the first scene, and every detail in it. Then, go from there.

Wow, Kraftwerk!!! Your life dream is just amazing! I agree with Nomad, please write the whole thing, that was a really fantastic read

So...wait, you weren't lucid, right ?

I wonder how your mind came up with ALL OF THAT! Did it FEEL like a lifetime, or is it more like looking back it didn't seem like it lasted that long anymore, though it ocurred across a lifetime? WOW. WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW.

My subconsious would never come up with anything like that . Rarely do my dreams seem realistic as a whole. Sure, I may be in school or waking up....but, it's probably just the barebones of few dreams of mine that seem like RL.

Thanks everybody! i'm in the process of typing up as much as I can. In the mean time, here is last nights dream:


Pregnant

No not me. (Although I have dreamed of being a pregnant woman before). This time it was my sister. She was sixteen in the dream, and we were out buying maternity clothes for her. My father and her weren't speaking, so it was my mother and me that went.

Scene change: Her belly was much bigger now, we were riding in the car to the hospital. She looked like she was in pain. We got out, and right as we walked to the hospital doors, I woke up.

[hr]

Geez. That dream was vivid. Amazingly vivid. I hope its not precog....

How old is your sister IRL? Oh, and I look forward to reading the full version of your life dream.

The despair you felt upon waking up moved me. i can relate very well to that feeling. While I have not lived out a life, I have lived out days, even a few weeks. The idea of wasted time and realizing everything you thought you knew ws a lie

Sister is 8 right now. Got 8 years to go. I have been so very busy right now, it might be a while before you get the full version.

I've had...
Very moving dreams lately. I published a topic in deep dreaming about it if anyone wants to take a look.

Your welcome! Glad you enjoy it


IT
For a while now, I've decided I want to have a nightmare, a really good nightmare, not the night to night creepy nightmares I usually have. A stereotypical nightmare. So, I've started reading Stephen King's IT right before bed. It finally helped. The following is spoilered for Squick.

Spoiler for Squicky Dream:

A couple of days ago, I had read the scene where the Clown in It, disguised as a hobo, trys to convince the Eddie to give him a BJ... This is the dream I had:

I was in the school Bathroom washing my hands, when I felt breathing on my neck. I turned around, and it was a very large boy, not quite a man, but rather, a boy in a mans body. A teenager with just a little too much testosterone for his own good. He scared me. He was between me and the door, had he not, I would have bolted out of there faster than hell.

He looked at me, and simply said "How about a Blowjob Kraftwerk?"

I looked at him stunned. My pulse was racing. He reached into his pants.

"Don't worry about it Kraftwerk.. Don't be shy."

"NO!" I screamed. He inched towards me

"You know you want it..." He changed into the clown for a moment. I could hardly breathe. He unzipped his pants, and let them drop to the floor. If you don't want a BJ then how about you bend over?... He grabbed my hair and forced me down. I couldn't find the air to scream.
"Ready?... Here I come.. No pun intended" I looked over my shoulder, he was grinning a demons grin. Suddenly, I found strength, and ripped away, He took part of my scalp with me but I didn't care. I ran until I feinted, and woke up.

When I woke up, I didn't remember the dream until someone asked me how far I was in it, and it hit me hard. I don't think I'm gonna try to induce another nightmare.
