GoldenPig's dream journal

HELLO TO ANYONE READING THIS JOURNAL. PLS FEEL FREE TO FEEDBACK ON WHATEVER YOU SEE WITH ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS TO WHAT I MIGHT TRY OUT. OR EVEN TO EXPRESS A SIMILARITY IN WHAT IM GOING THROUGH AS A NOOB. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HEAR THAT SOMEONE ELSE STARTED SIMILARLY THEN ACHIEVED A LUCID DREAM.

i may have had a lucid dream as a child.

i used to have nightmares about a huge dog/wolf that would chase me down and snap at my heels, it was terrifying. I can remember waking up one night crying (lol) because id had this nightmare. my older brother came into my room and told me to imagine i was luke skywalker (lol) and kill it with a lightsabre... so i went back to sleep and did exactly that.

That was the only time ive ever done something i wanted to in a dream.

i think i was about 7ish.

FIRST STAB AT IT - wed 17th feb 2010 - black (non dream) purple (dream) green (lucid)

1. Im in a dark room with people i dont know and were being attacked by waves of rats. you can just about see some of them hiding under shoes and books. when they jump at me, they bite me on the bit of skin between my thumb and finger. turns into a nightmare.
i get a text message off a rat about a joke to do with killing humans. someone laughs and i wake up. (i knew the txt was off a rat because the caller id picture was of a rat). lol

2. I can see a big, posh, black car in the distance and i zoom toward the passenger window (like a video camera zoom). inside the car is an old school friend sitting in the drivers seat, shes all dressed in black like shes just been to a funeral. she is gently hitting the steering wheel of the car with some black leather gloves while she stares at me. Nothing is said but i know she is slightly upset that we cant catch up because i have to go now. i start to zoom back out of the car window. i wake up.

NOTE - both dreams are really short i had others too but cant remember them. think its because everytime i start dreaming i am trying to reality check so it can go lucid, but i just wake myself up. lol

wed 17th feb 2010 - black (non dream) purple (dream) green (lucid)

this is an addition to wednesdays dreams. i only just remembered i had this dream too. its so short it almost seems pointless to type in but it may help when trying to notice dream signs.

Theres three of us working on laptops in a small plain office, were studying lucid dreaming and trying to work out different ways to achieve them. for some reason we keep having to change rooms.

thurs 18th feb 2010 black (non dream) purple (dream) green (lucid)

1. Im sitting on a wall at the top of a hill. its on a street surrounded by houses. im with my cousin and someone else who i cant remember. my cousin is wearing a suit without the jacket. (only remember him wearing something like that at my wedding).

The three of us are just sitting there talking (about what i dont know). people keep walking past. after a while a large group of girls walks past, all dressed like they just had PE. one of them keeps staring at my cousin as shes walking away.

For some reason i refer to my cousin as the 'white warrior', lol and were all laughing. he then proceeds to tell a story about how when we go fishing all you can hear at night in peoples tents is everyone talking about my old gamertag 'dick turpin'. which i never had.

Huge dark clouds start to form, they are massive and rolling in from everywhere. huge raindrops start to slowly fall. i wake up.

2. Im in a large pharmasist and im surfing but theres no waves. there are people about but i pay no attention to them. The asian dude who runs the pharmacy makes me buy stuff in repayment for letting me surf. lol. I go to one of the counters and he makes me buy a tube of sweets and a big jar of muscle rub.

3. Im walking towards my bosses office because im meant to taking his secretary out for lunch. When i walk in, she's riding my boss while hes lying back on his desk. shes a white woman with blond hair and black stockings on, he's a black fella with a bit of an afro. hes totally naked.

She proceeds to tell me that my boss has had his 'hyatus' toned (whatever that is) so hes better at having sex. she carries on to tell me other reasons why hes better than me but im not paying attention.

The office is a cliche, movie lawyers office. all dark wood furniture and books.

i had over 9 hours sleep because i was exhausted from all the disturbed sleep ive had the last two nights. (waking up in the early hours to attempt to WILD and BTB)

Im sitting in my living room and ive invited my dad and my cousin debbie over for dinner. they arrive and i sit them down and offer them a glass of wine. after tasting the wine, debbie says how nice it is and my dad just rolls his eyes. i realise my dad made the wine.

WAS I?! SOOO CLOSE!! - sat 20th feb - black (non dream) purple (dream) green (lucid)

1. Id somehow hacked Smiffs (xbox mate) account on xbox and was looking at his pictures. they are all of this girl that hes been speaking to, shes almost always half dressed and the images range from cute to proper naughty. lol. they have captions underneath like 'this is me sleeping' and 'this is me multitasking'.

The colour of the images is an overexposed sypia, everythings washed in a bright orangy yellow glow, and you cant quite make out the details of the pictures. i remember wondering wether or not she had a bra on in a couple of them, and thinking that i could use photoshop to darken them up a bit so i can see whats going on. lol.

The images are all taken in her bedroom. i remember the bed, which had light coloured pillows and duvet. and i remember her dresser which was also light coloured. it had a huge mirror atatched to the back of it and there was a load of girly products on the surface (talcs, perfumes, lipsticks ect..)

The dream then changed slightly and now im in the room instead of looking at photos, but im just observing, (like im a camera in a high corner). The girl who was in the photos is in her bed with four other girls, they are laughing and giggling, then the mood changes and they start kissing each other. and i clearly hear one of the girls say, 'now this is a party!'. lol.......

---------> i could go on, but its pretty self explanatory! <--------------

After a while i notice theres another person in the bed, and its a man. all of the girls attentions are on him, and like any other red blooded man, i was watching on and wishing i was him! then all of a sudden i become that man and all of the girls attentions are on me. but literally within a few seconds i wake up!!

was i lucid?? it definately became more vivid when i became the man, but i never realised i was dreaming. does this count? is it like the first step? or just how the dream was meant to be? i know i definately wanted something to happen and it did but with no realisation of dreaming. just been informed that i was definately not dreaming, it was just a good dream, lol.

i woke at 8.30am and decided id go back to bed to try again.

2. This is the first time i can recall ever having a false awakening.. and i had two on the trot!!

The front door bangs and wakes me up, laura walks into the bedroom and goes to the curtains, i ask her whos just left the house and she shys from the question. she looks guilty about something and i get paranoid. i ask again who left the house and she says noone, so i sit up and demand to know whos just left our house.... BAM!!! i wake up!, and im really pissed of because i should have done a reality check, so i reach for my notepad and pen to write down what just happened and.... BAM!!! i wake up again!! so i quckly do a reality check but its too late. im awake. balls.

ALL OVER THE PLACE - 22nd feb 2010 - black (non dream) purple (dream) green (lucid)

1. Its really dark and im showing James Crawford around a big scary looking house (which ive had a nightmare about before). im telling him that inside the house its really bad, but James just says 'its gonna take something special to scare me'.

We look out on the grounds of the house and see about half a dozen small wood fires, and we can hear people chatting and giggling, you can also see sillouettes of tents.

The fires are extremely vivid to me and i can see the fireflys of burning wood floating above the fires. i turn to James and he gives me the feeling that all he wants to do is go in the scary house, but i dont want to. i wake up.

Dream started with the feeling of a nightmare, but quickly turned into an innocent good feeling dream.

2. im a security guard in an airport and i have the impression that this is set slightly in the future. there has been a security breach and everyone is looking for a young woman (who happens to be the actress who plays Ana-Lucia in Lost).ive no idea why were looking for her but im overwhelmed with the urge to capture her.

I have a small rifle with a huge telescopic sight on it, it looks ridiculous, but all the other guards seem envious of it. I rush off down corridors with my rifle to look for this woman.
All of a sudden i come across her and fire a few shots off at her. shes trapped in a dead end corridor.

I stand over her and feel proud that ive caught my prey (i dont remember hitting her when i shot, but she seems injured). She then proceeds to tell me that shes carrying my baby, and although i have no memory of seeing her before this moment, i beleive her. lol. i carry her out to the carpark where theres a mexican dude in an old rusty pick-up truck, and hes waiting for us. i throw her on the back of the truck then watch it disappear into the distance.

Im left with an image of two young men. one of them is the child that the woman had, of which im the father, and the other is his brother but im not the dad. but im supposed to know who is. really wierd.

Dream played out like a film. very tense and gripping. high in emotion

3. This was a very short dream. it was like a news flash.

This guy gets caught with a hidden stash of magazines and drugs that are concealed behind his eye, inside his skull!!

4. Ive got my own ranch and some land. im working on my barn. the colours are vivid and bright and the grass is lush. my barn is a big red one, very american looking. i hear something behind me and there are about 7 beat-up american muscle cars slowly driving up my dirt track. i imediately think they look like extras from a 'mad max' film. The cars come to a halt parallel to where im standing, but the second car in the row hit one of my brand new gates, flattening it. The man driving the lead car gets out and says ' we used to use a field up here to camp on, but this aint old man Feemans farm no more.' I think about my answer because they look a rough bunch then i say, 'you can stay if you get him to fix the gate he just broke!'. and with that i walk toward the second car, shouting stuff like 'are you blind or something?'. The guy gets out of his car and hes huge! he walks toward the front of the car and trys to pick the gate up but his car is on top of it so he cant. all of his friends laugh and i instantly know hes not very clever. (like blaster without the master in mad max 3). The big guy then picks up the front of his car and moves it out the way. everyone stops laughing.

While the big stupid guy fixes my gate i walk up to the lead guy and tell him id like him to go in the far field so's not to keep me awake. the huge fella pipes up and says 'so you want us to get waterlogged?'. and i say, 'just back up the field until you find a bit thats ok'. i turn to the lead man again and say, 'i just dont want to be up all night cursing you lot, only to smile, be nice and wave you off in the morning'. He finds this amusing and thats when i notice its the actor who stars next to Tom Cruise in 'cocktail'. i think hes called Brian Brown. i wake up.

had no real feel of any emotion. colours extremely vivid at start

STILL SICK BUT SOME RECALL!! - thur 25th feb
black (non dream) purple (dream) green (lucid)

Im getting married again in a big old castle type building. evryones wearing either posh dresses or charcoal grey 3 piece top n tails. im leading my family down a corridor to have some food when an employee of the building asks me if we could wait just five minutes because the scollops arent ready. lol.
(i find this amusing because before i went back in time and changed whatever it is i changed, the scollops would have been ready now. lolol)
NOTE- THIS IS THE ONLY TIME THIS THEME POPPED INTO MY HEAD, THERE MUST HAVE BEEN MORE OF THE DREAM TO BEGIN WITH BUT I DONT REMEMBER.

while we wait, the man who stopped me is looking at me and Tom Clifford. he says 'so what have you pair been doing all day except eating?'. Tom tells him to watch his mouth and i tell him its my wedding and i could have him removed/fired. at this he just mocks me and eggs me on to try it. im walking around the building looking for the boss when i spot a man who looks just like 'the black hand' from 'godfather 2'. hes dressed all in white. i realise this is who im looking for and approach him. i say 'this man has offended and threatened both me and my best man, i want him removed from the building'. and with that, both of us start ripping into him. at one point i clearly remember shouting at the top of my voice, 'because its my wedding day you dickhead!'.

The owner leads him out of the front doors and as i walk with him to watch, an asian woman says something to me. i dont know what it was but it couldnt have been good, as i grabbed her in a nasty looking armlock and began to walk her out of the building to. 'this wedding cost me £35,000 pounds!' i say to her, '£35,000? you were ripped off!' she replies.
and with that i throw her down some concrete stairs at the front of the building.

when i come back in, everyone but my mom has gone into another room. i go over to where my moms standing, by the way into the other room. she says 'youve ruined today for me by using one word'. and i immediately think that this is odd because i didnt say fuck, or cunt once. lol. after standing there bemused for a short while i enter the room.

im sitting on the right hand side of the room. it is like the main hall of a church with rows of benches all facing the front. it has a gangway in the middle and a raised area at the end. people are walking down the gangway but i cant see what for. i catch sight of Tom again, whos walking down the gangway and there are two little kids who are looking at him and giggling. i think its because Tom keeps tripping up on the stairs to the raised area, but then i notice what they are really giggling at.

theres this woman in a black dress whith whit spots on it, she also has a marge simpson red necklace on. the only difference is that she is immense. shes easily 5 times bigger than a normal person and shes perfectly round. it looks like someone has used a foot pump on her. her face is all contorted like shes going to pop. everyone in the hall suddenly starts belly laughing at her. i wake up

method used
none. just remembered the dream when i woke. still ill.

STILL SICK - fri 26th feb 2010 - black (non dream) purple (dream) green (lucid)

1. ive stolen a car with two old ladies still in the back. turns into a road trip. everyones happy. only seem to drive on the motorway, either side of the motorway has really high walls.
extremely vague and fragmented.

2. classic computer games dream. im in a factory/facility. the lighting is similar to the film 'alien', where there are dark'ish corridors and spaces but there are small lights everywhere to light your path. lots of shadows.
im dressed like im straight out of GRAW, or MW2. i have allies around me that are either dressed the same or have hazmat suits on.
Laura's voice is constantly in the dream. she has full control over me, as if she has the pad. all i can do is shoot, and shout orders. i can only shoot in the middle of the screen tho so it becomes extremely frustrating, because i can see badguys but cant fire until laura has manouvered me so that they are in the middle of my sight. lol. we go around killing a few guards. ive either got a sniper rifle or a silent pistol.


methods used
none. still ill. very disturbed sleep.

EASTENDERS - sat 27th feb 2010 - black (non dream) purple (dream)

1. had a wierd, fragmented dream about 'Christian' from eastenders. i didnt play a part in the dream, it was just christian and his dad. it played like a tv programme.
Christians dad is much smaller than him, he has white hair and a white beard with glasses. they are talking amongst houses that havent been built yet, they are just collections of wooden frames.
Christian is being told off for something, and as punishment he has to carry his dad through the town. everyone is looking on at them and smirking.

2. another false awakening. im lying in bed playing with a ball of what feels like putty. i do this for about 2 mins then wake up for real.

COWBOY HATS AND HOMER SIMPSONS THUMBS - sun 27th feb 2010
black (non dream) purple (dream)

1. im in america on holiday with my mom and my little brother (who doesnt exist). were in some sort of toy/clothes store. there are lots of curious looking toys on the walls. two that catch my attention are a scooter with a motor, and an enormous skateboard for the whole family! its at least 10 foot long and i remember looking at the price tag, it was over $100 but i cant remember the exact amount.
i become intruiged by a shelf full of cuddly toy snakes of all colours and sizes, as im rooting through them all i think how funny it would be to buy one and put it in my moms bed, i turn to see where she is and shes looking right at me. she reads my intentions about the snake so i put them back.
i notice some cowboy hats, and ive always wanted one so i get excited to buy one from USA. but as im going through the choices i realise they are all rubbish. they seem 'modernised' in some way and i cant find any normal looking ones, im very dissapointed.
the sides of the store are made of huge glass windows and as i look out of them, a gust of wind blows a row of normal looking cowboy hats off the roof and they glide past the window.

2. im watching Evil kneival relive his youth at an industrial estate. hes showing me lots of his old jumps and i watch on in awe as he smashes through windows and does backflips on his bike. he tells me that theres one jump that he hasnt yet done but hed like to have another go. i check it out and i see why he cant do it. the landing ramp is too small so i decide to help out. all of a sudden, Evil is driving towards the jump and what i have to do, is stick my thumbs in the end of this pipe and straighten my arms to extend the ramp he lands on. its here where i become worried about my thumb knuckles being damaged, so i try and rub them off. lol. its also here where i see myself from the front and realise im actually Homer Simpson with a cowboy hat on!! lol. cowboy hat must have bled over from the previous dream.
