deersoul's dream journal

This is the first night I actually told myself "Remember your dream". And I did remember it partially, it wasn't a very interesting dream, but its a start :-)

My dream:

I showed the application I've been working on to some colleagues. One of my colleagues said that he could build upon what I made using a certain library. The funny thing is that it is a very rarely used library, and that I had given a talk about that rarely used library during my education. He also mentioned he was proud about being able to do that.

Congrats on finding a technique that works for you. Keep up with your dream journal; it's the best way to improve your dream recall.

Welcome to DV!

My second night of trying to recall my dreams. I know I had several, but with the first few I was too drowsy to get awake to write them down. I fell asleep trying to recall them, and then forgot them of course :-( But the last one I did recall:

#My non lucid dream:

I woke up at my moms place, I went into the living room and was walking around when I noticed that the cat was hanging on my arm. That cat is really crazy and not very cuddly, but now it was just clinging on to my arm and it seemed to be sort of content. I sat down on the couch with the cat still on my arm and stayed there. After a while my mom came into the room. She said that it was already four o clock and that this night the clock had been moved forward an hour. That explained why I was so discontent with the bars closing at 2 o clock last night. She said that a girlfriend of mine was coming to have a chicken fondue, but that it was already so late that it was probably not a good idea, and that she would take the food home with her again. Then I woke up :-)

Last night I went to bed again with my notebook and a pen :-) I'm still focusing on improving my dream recall before I want to attempt inducing a lucid dream. The result is that I'm tired as hell as I woke up at three o clock, wrote down my dream and had trouble getting back to sleep. At 5 o clock, after some warm milk with honey, I finally got back to sleep, and 8 o clock I wrote down my second dream Woohoo, this dream recall stuff works :-) The dreams are kind of bizarre

Non lucid dream #1
I was black rapper jumping over large blue colored cubical structures. The jumping went really slow, like a tiger in slow motion. That rapper of snap (The power) was chasing me, but I was faster. I was rapping some stuff about Zeliah (whoever that may be) and Jeruzalem. The rapper from snap was rapping that I should be nicer to my Jewish neighbor (I don't have a Jewish neighbour???) So I decided to go and visit that neighbor. Suddenly I was in a flat entrance, there was a dark African woman in veils over there. The walls were kind of messy with white powder, as if people has been touching them with chalk on their hands. Somehow something in the room was configurable with a programming language.... Then I woke up


I'm not going to document the second dream to precisely as it had sexually explicit content ;-) It was also fragmented
#Non lucid dream 2
After the sexually explicit content, I immediately reached for my keyboard as there were some files that I needed to secure. It was kind of hilarious..

Last night I was really tired, so I slept like a brick. When I woke up I couldn't remember any dreams, I tried to remember them, but nothing. The funny thing is that a few hours later I suddenly did remember part of a dream.

I dreamt I was in the room of a good friend of mine. It's not where he lives now, It was the room at his parent's house where he lived 10 years ago. At the time we hung out there a lot. There was someone in the house who belonged to some sort of semi official organization. He was after my research material. I realized that deleting my files would not be sufficient, I needed some shredder software that rewrites the disk with garbage after the files are deleted. I thought about writing it myself, but there was not enough time. So instead I took a screwdriver and started to remove the disk from my computer...
