Thread: A World In My Head!

Wow... that's AWESOME!!! The Dream Pipes... I gotta look for them!

Actually this just reminded me of a dream from many years ago about a system of brick tunnels... I'm gonna write it up tonight.

Kind of like a termite eating tunnels through wood but the wood is 5th dimensional light?
The thing I remember was this: that the more you explore the more you forget who you really are as you get lost in descending levels of identification with form. By turning around and retracing your steps through the maze you created that lead to this incarnation and where you are now you come to the beginning of your first descent into this maze, when it was just a curious whim (I wonder what that is like down there?). And then you remember the whole thing.

Very interesting! Tunnels and pathways have always been a strong symbol in my dreams. Though your experience sounds like something different.

Probably not the same thing you are describing, but it reminded me of it. So were these pipes like plumbing or were they a vehicle?

I don't know, it was big and metal! I'll draw it some day. But once you were in the pipe, it wasn't a pipe. It was a vortex/wormhole!

Wow... that's AWESOME!!! The Dream Pipes... I gotta look for them!

Yeah! Tunnels show up a lot in my dreams.

Oh, AMAZING! I wonder though, maybe it was a childhood dream you forgot? Also, vortex, how does the vortex look?

I have so many in-dream-only memories. Is a dream you only remember in dreams or something your mind just randomly made up? I guess we'll never know! SG1 vortex like?


Last night was my moon-night. I always have weird dreams on my moon-night.

Auric Reading and Vampires

(Note: In waking life my older sister once upon a time had a boyfriend. Long story short, she married his best friend instead. But everything is okay, because he still showed up to the wedding as the best man. Now the vampires in my dream are nothing like them, except for the relationships between each other)

I'm in a stuffy room with a bunch of older middle aged people. A lady asks me "How old are you sweetie?" I tell her "Oh, I'm 25." She responds "Why you don't look a day older 15!" Then my dad from halfway across the room blurts out "That's my daughter!". Uh, well this is weird. So I leave the room.

I'm in a University/Apartment Complex/I'm not sure. I grab my art project and tell my sisters that I'm heading home. To leave, you have to climb a staircase before you can exit the front door. The staircase makes a few sharp turns, so even though it's rectangular, it makes a spiral pattern. And when I say climb, I mean you literally have to climb the first few steps. I'm standing on top of the staircase looking at all the confused college guys below me. They can't figure out how to get their foot on the first step. So I yell at them "You have to climb it!". They look at me bewildered and shake their heads in frustration that they still can't figure it out. Are they drunk? Oh well.

I'm walking outside and even though it's dark, I can still make out my car from the back of the parking lot. Wait a minute, my cars trunk is open? A small female runs from the back of my car carrying a large bag! "A thief? Someone is stealing from my car!" My sister who was right behind me, tries to stop me, but I run after the thief. She's wicked fast! She runs into the shadows and I lose her. My sister tells me that thief is the Urban Pirate. No one can catch her! That only made me even more upset, she stole my things!

We go back inside, I don't remember why. A huge drama plays out but I don't remember all of the details. My sister dumped her boyfriend. It turned out, he was a vampire! He killed, ate and turned students into mindless zombies. When my sister decided that his best friend would make a better boyfriend, out of spite, he transforms his best friend into a vampire too. A kind of, well if I can't have her, no one can!

I didn't like her first boyfriend, for obvious reasons. He was psychotic! The only times you saw him was when he was laughing and screeching flying down the hallway chasing his next victim. He was a loud, blood-sucking, obnoxious ginger head vampire. But my sisters new vampiric boyfriend, was a whole different story. Dark hair, dark eyes. The quiet type. Didn't smile. Didn't laugh. I didn't trust him.

He knew I didn't trust him. He knew I didn't like him around my sister, he's a vampire after all! To win my trust, he gives me a present. It's an auric reader. The strange device floats above my palm and spins like a compass trying to find north. Then it glows! It shows me the colors of people's auras. And it reveals any hidden energy.

The auric reader was showing me something strange. A green toxic energy, an almost putrid green was floating just in front of me. I look around to see who this toxic energy belonged to, but there was nobody there. It's some sort of demon! The green energy swells and then enters the dark haired vampire. Well if he wasn't bad before, he is now!

I grab my sister's arm and we quickly run away. Now there are two insane vampires on the loose. We hide in the restroom. It wasn't a smart idea, it was just the first thing that popped in my head. My sister gets sick and nearly throws up on me. I'm vomit-phobic so I'm prettying much screaming "OH MY GOD!" She apologizes but she's looking sicker by the second, like she could die from this. Wait, don't you have to die before you can become a vampire? Oh no! Did he bite my sister?

My sister tells me we can hide in this bathroom cabinet. 1) I'm thinking, you'll throw up on me for sure 2) He's a vampire, he'll sniff us out. "No! We can't hide here!". I get a sense my sisters new boyfriend is already at the door. He's wriggling the door handle telling me to let him in! He tells me an elaborate story how he fought the demon, and a dozen zombies too. He also tells me what a good vampire he is, he hasn't killed anyone, unlike his insane best friend. But I don't believe him, what should I do? Then I remember my auric reader.

I let it float above my palm again. It reads through the door and shows me his aura, it's the deepest indigo I've ever seen. Well no human is this dark, but it's not toxic, or putrid - just really really deep. So I decided this was an okay color. I open the door and he helps my sick sister out.

The ginger vampire turned the entire school into mindless zombies! Together we gather the remaining members of my family trapped in this huge place. I use my auric reader to watch out for any unwanted energy. That firey red must be the ginger vampire, let's go another way.

Now that my whole family is gathered, I find a way out for us. We just need to help my sister down these steps, and the fresh air will heal her. She only needs to leave the building to stay human! But her boyfriend started to distract my sister from leaving the building. I get angry and yell at him "I'm not going to let my sister be like you!". He looks hurt! But then he lowers his head and lets me take my sister out the building.

The cool night air heals my sister. I become slightly lucid and think "I want a happy dream ending so I don't wake stressed!" And then, we found the ginger vampire and the urban pirate had fallen deeply in love. Now the two of them were laughing mad together. A dangerous a couple, but at least their happy! The urban pirate starts to dance like a drunken wench, my mom starts to cheer and clap her on!

I think I'm waking up. I want to remember the dream so I start to recall it. But in reality I'm still dreaming, so I just replay the dream again.

This time as I replay the dream I'm a half mutated freak, complete with a tail. I met a boy. He was a born with a tail. Everyone made fun of him and his whole life he hid his tail in shame. Until he met me. We held hands as we safely herded my family out of the toxic building, tails wagging and all

And then I woke up

Awww! I am glad it has a happy ending! I hear there is a bounty out for the infamous Urban Pirate! lol. And ginger haired vampires? Who would've thought?
This was a good read. Thank you!

I believe dreams consist partly of ideas, thoughts and memories - that's why no movie can ever really capture the experience of dreaming - because movies are only sight and sound.

In dreams you often have memories or ideas... you know "I have to find my friend before the sun goes down". Or "I've seen those Dream Pipes somewhere before" (hey, I just realized - Dream Pipes sounds like Drain Pipes! cool! Yeah, I'm a little slow on the uptake... ). So I think we often have totally artificial dream memories and dream deja-vu, which is created spontaneously for the situation.

... What are your moon nights?

Ok, I DID already say "I'm a little slow on the uptake"!!

I was thinking it was something totally different.

April 10, 2010

No lucids, oh well. I feel asleep more focused on just remembering my dreams anyways.

Mutant Rats
The rats have mutated into something more like grimlims. I'm in an old house, trapped with several other families. It's very dark, maybe the mutant rats ate/cut through our power supply? Me and my sister barricade ourselves in a bedroom. The hallway is long and big, the living room is huge, and the kitchen has two entrances. Meaning, the rats could be coming at you from anywhere!

I don't know why, but mom insisted in staying in the living room! And my other sister was just loafing around in the bathroom, with the door open. We kept trying to tell them it wasn't safe! But they wouldn't listen, even though the rats had already attacked several people.

Now, the rats, they did eat people. But the real problem was they couldn't kill you instantly! The mutant rats were hunting as a pack, and it takes about 20 of them to take down a human. And it's a slow painful process filled with lots of bites . The other problem was it only took one bite from a rat for you to get some nasty plague.

Me and my sister liked holding up in the bedroom, because we could see the corners of the room easier. I watch desperate people trying to escape the property from the window. But there were more mutant rats running outside than in! I couldn't see the rats from the window, only the people screaming as something hidden from my view snatches them by their feet, and drags them away. There was also a large wall about ten feet high surrounding the entire property. I realized past this wall was freedom! I almost became lucid as I thought about jumping out the window.

But my sister stops me, telling me there's no way we can make it to the wall without the rats attacking us. And even if we did make it too the wall, then what? Do you know how to scale a ten foot brick wall?

Suddenly a mutant rat jumps at me! I instinctively grab this piece of wood next to me, I think it was supposed to be a ruler, but it's all broken. Even though I'm terrified, without thinking, I kill the mutant rat. The wooden ruler is sticking out of it's throat. My sister changes her mind. If I can kill a mutant rat, then these rats aren't so tough. We need to somehow sneak past the kitchen to get to the front door. The kitchen is the most dangerous, because obviously, rats like kitchens.

We decide that on our way through the kitchen we can pick up some knives, in case we have to fight out way through before reaching the brick wall.

My dream fades away into a new one

Dubai?
I'm flying over a city. But even though I'm flying over a city, it feels more like a 3rd perspective dream where I'm observing the dream rather than taking part of it. As I fly over the city, I compare it to the others next to it. In comparison, this city is disgusting! There isn't a single tree or anything green growing. Concrete, asphalt, steel, pavement, large boring colorless buildings. You could say this city feels cold and uninviting. But it wasn't just cold, it was boiling hot. The streets were sizzling underneath the blazing sun, like a Walmart parking lot.

Further north in the city lived the richest man, you might as well call his private house a PALACE. Mansion does it no justice, this place was HUGE. It was nice architecture, I'll give him that. But he only had three small children living with him, why does this place need to be so big? He had a pool.

I wouldn't describe it was a pool though, at 25ft deep, 50ft wide, and wrapping around the entire estates, it was a lake. It even had waves. The pool, in a venice style, was right up against the palace. Dragon water fountain spouts jut out from the palace's walls pouring into the pool. When I looked closer, the dragon spout itself was water! A magical enchantment? The pool was both beautiful and hideous. Hideous when you realized that all of this water, in this asphalt desert, was chlorinated and undrinkable to any living thing.

My dream fades away and I have a new one, which starts in a small pool

Slooow Magic
The kids playing in the pool were young witches and wizards, all about the age of 12 (when kids are most viscous!). Some of them had no magic of their own, others were naturally gifted. One young girl not only self-proclaims to be the most powerful young witch of all, she also self-proclaims to be the most popular girl at school. Though, I'm not sure if everyone being afraid of you is popularity . There was no doubt however that she was powerful. Her powers were INSTANT. She didn't have to chant. She didn't have to cast spells or use a wand. They were like the crack of lightning, when she willed them, they happened!

She bullies another girl in her class, who looks a lot like Hermione from HP, except her hair is green. My young green-haired witch, got tired of being made fun of, and grabs her young male friend, and the two of them storm out of the pool party. The two of them have a crazy adventure (that I don't remember) in an old english city. Even though they kept running into trouble, their trouble would always transform into good fortune!

My green witch kept getting water dumped on her head! Maybe from someone dumping from a window, a car splashing, or what. But it just kept randomly happening. Like, water being dumped on her magically just because she opened a door. She gets annoyed and snaps at her friend "Stop tossing water at me!" He responds meekly "It wasn't me! I swear, I didn't do it! That door did it!"

It seems kind of silly to think that a door would splash water on you just because you were opening it. She looks at the door and there's a note attached. It reads something like "It's time to dip in the water and get wet! Sloooow Magic is the strongest!"

My green haired witch smiles slyly as she holds the paper. She understands now why she was born with green hair, she's a nature witch. The power of nature incarnate. She may not have flashy dazzling powers like the dark haired freak (the popular girl). But her slooow magic is strong. Like taking a slow deep breath - good fortune comes her way. My green witch sets off to find a lake to take a dip in - which I felt was some sort of rite of passage for her.

My dream becomes some random nonsense dream about dogs who can't swim in pools, and then I wake up

A lot of water! I like this green-haired witch. I would like to see a picture of her. She reminds me of you. Reading these dreams was like watching a movie! Very nice.

"It's time to dip in the water and get wet! Sloooow Magic is the strongest!"

This seems important.

Sloooow Magic! This reminds me of when the sea turtle told me "Anything is possible with Turtle Magic." I didn't know what he meant. Maybe this is what he meant! Not that sea turtles are slow, well on land they are.

Lol...it was movie like! It's not often I'm just an observer. And the color green showed up again in my dreams.

This seems important.

I remember when she read the note I was thinking "Oh oh oh! What does it mean!". I also like how the dream ends before I get to see her water initiation, a sort of 'take a hint'.

I'm not even sure what slow magic is! What's slooow magic? What is it, I wanna know, is it dreaming?

It means this to me: patience, trust in that it is working. Not trying to be first in everything, not competing. Humbleness. Confidence. The tortoise as opposed to the hare. When the river is near the ocean it is wide, deep, and slow, but powerful. It is not in a hurry to get to the ocean. It is relaxed. It knows that it is close.

Cool dreams!! The dark-haired witch makes me think of Lucy Van Pelt

That means a lot! I'm always anxious with my creative visualization. I just need to trust the sloow magic.

Lol, thanks. She reminded me of the snobby girl in the 1995 version of A Little Princess.


I didn't sleep well last night. Family members kept waking me up going in and out of their rooms, walking back and forth. Any little noise wakes me up. I only remember dreaming about my journal! I don't remember what I wrote, but I remember Aquanina replied in spanish. My spanish is bad, so then I felt dumb that I had no idea what she just said!

(Do you speak spanish Aquanina? Or should I call you, Aguaniña?)

That movie (a Little Princess) makes me get misty eyed every time!
I like the Indian guy with the monkey.
You were in my dream last night
and Aquanina was in another one.
Interesting.

Aha! You guys experimenting (without knowing) with SD too? And I like the witch dream, nature magic FTW! And weird vampires up there, weird happy vampire couple lol

April 15, 2010

I became lucid! I don't even remember my dream before becoming lucid. I think I was running around in a giant mall playing superheroes with some kids, but I'm not sure. All I really remember is, I walk outside and I start to float by a tree. Wait a minute, I'm floating? I'm dreaming!

It's been a while since I've been lucid. I don't want to rush this, but I think I did anyways. I rub my hands together to stabilize the dream. I've never done this before as a stabilization technique. It feels pretty real! I can feel my fleshy hands and the curvature of my palms. But nothing happens. The dream doesn't change. So I command the dream to stabilize. But nothing happens again.

I'm standing on the tree branch looking at the suburban scene below me. Well it's not unstable looking. But I wasn't satisfied. I wanted my dream to be hyper realistic. It still feels, dreamy. Maybe I made the wrong verbal commands, maybe I should have said "Increase Clarity" instead.

I want to open a portal! But I want to find the best dream spot to open a portal. So I start to walk around, two kids from the mall follow me. I think they still want to play. They're cute but really annoying. I had to get rid of them some how! So I tell them "Did you know that this is a dream?" "Huuh?" "This is a dream!" "This is a dream?" They look at me shocked, as if I just told them the world was ending. But then they smile and laugh and run away. That was easy!

I find the perfect spot to create a portal. I was underneath the sun and moon. The sun and the moon were next to each other, both shining bright. I don't even think that's possible in waking life, but it was beautiful sight anyways. I stand underneath the sunlight and try to open a portal.

Nothing happens.

I walk away a little confused. So I start to explore my dream some more while thinking of a better way to create a portal. I was walking along a glass building, reflecting everything behind me. That's when I notice an older blonde woman is following me (late 30s? 40ish? hard to tell, it doesn't look like she's slept in days). How annoying! Dream characters are so persistent sometimes. I know! I walk right through the glass building. I look through the glass smiling thinking "Now she can't see me! She doesn't even know I'm looking right at her." Some other nearby dream characters look confused, as if they just witnessed a person magically disappear.

I waited for her to walk away just as confused, but instead she steps right through the glass. Her gaze was icy steel. How do I explain it? It's a kind of look that only women give to other women. I feel like she's challenging me.

I'm just annoyed that a dream character is mimicking my dream abilities! (how dare she )

She is standing very close to me. Invading my space actually, she's practically standing over me. I just want her to go away so I can get on with my dream. So I tell her "This is a dream!" And she responds "I know." I don't like her expression. It's angry and mean. But she doesn't try to hurt me, or touch me, even though she's so close. I felt like. . she was trying to manipulate me to be angry at her, to try to hurt her, start the cat-fight!

But then I remind myself that this is a dream, I need to watch my thoughts and emotions carefully. I try to envision her as lovelier, friendlier, nicer. She eases up and smiles. But I can't say for certain it's the nicest smile in the world! I woke up after that. How short and sweet lucidity is.

I VILD and attempt to re-enter the same dream. I'm lucid, but the dream is really unstable. I think I try to open the portal again. But I don't remember, everything just went to fuzz.

(and why is there a fly literally flying around my head? Am I the sun? )

Nice! The Sun and the Moon reminds me of the animated Disney Alice in Wonderland and also some Science Fiction planet like in Star Wars or something. How do you usually open portals? Finding a door and writing the destination with chalk on the door works good for me.
That look only a woman gives a woman sounds scary, I can imagine it. There are looks only a man gives a man also. There was this guy I hung out with in Hawaii when I had nothing else to do and we would shoot the shit. One time we were both hanging out with this woman and my friend started acting like a Rooster to me. Then there is the 'guy nod' where two guys make eye contact and they both nod at each other without smiling.

I would like to see you walk through the glass window! I wonder who she was? What was her agenda? Good for you that you kept your wits and didn't give in to her. Maybe she was just testing you.

Wow... scary!! I have yet to encounter self-aware DCs in a lucid. Guess that's something I have to look forward to!

The 'guy nod', lol!

Oh, they're fun! Sometimes..




April 16, 2010

Lucidity Denial!

I had a dream about me and my cousins, bugs, birthday parties, cake and deciding whether to eat with plastic utensils or real silverware. I woke up, and I was going to write down the dream in detail. But I just fell asleep instead. (that happens a lot )

I'm outside in a parking lot, and some guy has a really nice futuristic motorcycle. He sees me eyeing at it and he yells at me. "What do you think you're doing! You can't ride my bike!". I back away from his motorcycle, giving him some space, and I just explain I just wanted to look at it. I don't even know how to ride one! I just think Japanese motorcycles are pretty. But then he laughs "Nah I'm just kidding, you can ride it!"

I'm hesitant but then its clear NOT riding his bike would insult him. Really, he practically bullied me to test ride his sweet bike. I take it for a quick test ride, but only around the parking lot, and only at parking lot speeds! The handling of the motorcycle is a bit weird. The kind of weird that only happens in dreams. I always miss this sign.

I thank him and go back inside to what should be a store. But it's my bedroom instead. I don't remember all of the events, but it's like I spend the whole morning with my sisters. A very 'normal' morning.

Suddenly I get this strange feeling. Something feels.....wrong.....off. But I can't explain it. I ask my sister if she feels weird, and she just shrugs. I look outside the window, and then I think "What if I'm dreaming?". I look all around me and at the trees and green things growing outside. I shake my head. "No that's impossible!" I tried to recall my day.

I remember waking up from a dream about my cousins. And I remember.....eating breakfast. Everything seemed normal, even me testing out a strangers motorcycle at the time seemed normal. But for some reason, I can't stop myself inching closer and closer to the window. And I just want to jump so badly! One part of my mind is screaming I'm dreaming, the other part is begging my sister to help me stop my insanity before I hurt myself.

I fall out the window. I'm drifting slowly, and peacefully, to the ground wondering if it's going to hurt. But then the wind carries me up and over the trees and I'm happy to be lucid and flying and dreaming! I soar over the tree tops. But then suddenly I end up in a weird dream landscape.

Boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of toy dinosaurs in packaging! I didn't like this dream scene. So I grab a box and I try to enter the painted picture on the box. Very briefly I enter a primal world where the dinosaur toys came to life. But the dream was unstable and I woke up. This time for real, I think

(and if you're reading this, you could be dreaming!)

(and if you're reading this, you could be dreaming!)

Nope... just did a nosepinch, and I seem to be awake. I THINK!

Damn Juroara... toy dinosaurs coming to life... I think you're having MY dreams!!

lol funny I read your journal today, just had a lucid where there were thousands of dinosaurs, mostly T-Rex and some other carnivores.
In the other dream, I can't imagine how beatiful the moon and sun would look together, but whoa, cool thing you saw it!

I love dinos




I've been a bit busy lately trying to help my friend with her artsy project. But before I forget, my most recent dream had a spectacular lightning storm! Not only was there lightning, but the lightning was exploding. Eventually they exploded like fireworks. Everyone, everyone was outside watching the amazing show! The explosions disappear, instead the night sky has projections as if the night sky was a planetarium ceiling. The projections were people, babies, us, humans. You could follow the projections from the sky, to the land, like tall shadows.

And it almost felt like, these projections were projected shadows of people on the ground.

My sister realizes who ever is projecting these images must be on the ground! With us! Among us! Right now! The only logical conclusion we came up was, aliens.

And soon enough we were running away and escaping from aliens. They came from the fields, stalking us like wild beasts. We escaped by running in the opposite direction of the crowd. Into the ruined cities the aliens just laid to waste. The aliens weren't a problem here, since they had already moved on. The threat now were the survivors. Instead of coming together it was an all out war zone. We had a flying car that we used to keep just above their hands, just far enough away so they couldn't grab or harm us.
