Ramblings of a dreamer

[Glorfindel_III]

At the moment i have an actual dream journal that is very messy and only notes/main points. I've decided to start an actual one on this site so that hopefully i go into the details of my dreams fully. I won't include dreams that are in my real life journal up to this date but record all from this day forwrd in here as well as writing them in my actual journal in the middle of the night/afternoon/lecture Look forward to hearing form myself, Glor

[Glorfindel_III]

kk, first couple dreams from last night. Just a note: i couldn't recall anything when i woke once in the night or when i woke up in the morning until i was walking down to my lecture. Because they were only recalled a bit after they happened lots fo the details are fuzzy. Dream 1: I was in a big building which i felt was some sort of a stadium or sports ground, I can remember either following or being followed but can't place which it was, anyhow, i enetered th toilets/changing room and 3 girls i know followed me in ( I don't think they were the ones who were following me though ) they needed to use the toilet but were busting so used the urinal instead ( don't ask how that worked, but it did). Some guys in the toilets were obviously quite shocked at females in a males toilet and told them to go away but to no avail. I then went in to a changing cubicle because i was wearing a torn shirt and found that there was a shower in there as well. The shower turned itself on and i got all wet. *Fuzzy bit* i was then outside in a street or something similar and there were 2 girls further down the street/thing. One of the girls (she was quite short, brunette. Not a RL character though) started talking to me and i thought "wow, i think she's trying to chat me up". Then lots of people came out of a dorr behind me (maybe i had come from there too...) and everyone started watching something that was happening further down the street, in the direction the girl had come from. Can't remember any further than that. Dream 2: Somehow my younger brother and me had been sent into the past ( few decades) and we knew we were in the past and had to hide that fact to everyone around us. An obvious sign we were from the future was the fact that we had cell phones, so i turned mine off so it wouldn't ring. I was on the tennis court at my dad's place and was playing soccer? my brother was on the trampoline then his cell phone rang. Everyone wondered what the strange sound was ( it didn't sound like an actual cell phone - more high -pitched) he was trying to turn it off while it was still in his pocket but couldn't. Dad came out of the house and yell/whispered (strange combination i know) to turn his cell phone off (somehow dad now knew we were from the future, or he was too...) and his partner came out confused as to what the sound was. Forgot the rest. Dream 3: VERY ODD, R18. Now i would like you to know i have NO idea where this came from..... I believe there was some sort of sick competition with good prizes but to win you had to have sex with a cow... there was 3 guys and they had to have there way with one of 3 cows. I was watching on with obvious disgust and was dry spewing. I then became one of the guys, but was now on my own having masturbating... Can't remember any more While all these were fuzzy i can remeber the main points from them. Interpretations are welcome (well maybe not the last one...I'm scared of what you'll say bout that one ) C yall later Glor

Yesterday i decided I'd try the approach that seemed to randomly work for quite a lot of peple and completely ignore lucidity for the day, so that my subconscious would absorb all the information i had been reading for the week beforehand...didn't work. I can remember only two VERY brief dreams: 1. Playing a computer game that i play in RL and killing people who are my friends on the game accidently 2. Sitting in the computer room and using two chairs, one to sit on and one to lie my feet on. Then someone came in and told me to stop putting my feet up becausee they needed to use the chair. I think i'll go back to RC's and reading about lucidity....

[Glorfindel_III]

I've come to the conclusion that drinking during the night and going to bed at 3:30am is NOT the best way to have excellent dream recall and isn't exactly a good way to induce LD's When i woke up i had a very vague recollection of a dream but it vanished rather quickly, not too surprising really... Hopefully i can get back into doing routine RC's and thinking about LD's as much as i was earlier (before i started this DJ). Forever rambling, Glor

[Glorfindel_III]

Still unable to focus when trying to WILD, am going to try Hargarts technique when i wake up during the night from now on. Last nights dream: Was in a pub (possibly a dreamsign, has happened before) when a girl i know (very hot btw!) came up to me and started talking about a haircut she was going to give me. Just talked, then was woken up by alarm. This was too life-like for me to even think it was a dream. I've noticed that i'm not having as good recall lately and think it's probably because all my assignments that are due soon and i'm stressing in my sleep - which many others have said screws up recall. Hopefully once exams are over and uni's finished i can get back some good recall and maybe have some vived LD's Oh well, till then i'll just to keep trying and not lose sleep over it (pun obviously intended). Dreamily yours, Glor p.s. just remembered another dream i had: during an afternoon nap' Playing cricket out on a lawn outside our hall. There was a group of asian people playing too and there was two games going beside each other. One of the asian guys was bowling really well and desided to join the game i was playing. Can remember something very vague about a treehouse in an earlier part of the dream... I know why i was dreaming most of this, events that had happened the day before were being rememberd. Glor

[Glorfindel_III]

I WILL IMPROVE MY DREAM RECALL Poisitive reinforcement I had brief glimpses of playing the computer game that i play (Conquer). That's all.

[Glorfindel_III]

w00t! I read this site a lot last night before i went to bed and when i first woke up i couldn't remember anything, then about 10 minutes later a dream just suddenly played itself back to me. Long, fairly vivid dream too Started off in the town that i went to college in, i was with my younger brother, can't remember what we were doing. Two girls came up to us, i think they were my younger brothers age. One of them, she had brown hair and really cool blue eyes, started talking to me about them going to see a movie (I tried to remember whcih movie, if it was an actual one, which i thought it was) and asked if we wanted to join them. I can remeber thinking it was a bit dodgy to be going with these girls to the movies when i was so much older than them. I then, not sure where my bro went, walked up a street and saw a basketball court. A strange 'guy' suddenly appeared from the sky and landed in the middle of the court. He was not human but had a human-like form. He was bright red and had wing-like things coming out of his back, but his whole body was quite robotish. I felt like he was a 'bad' guy. Then 5 'good' guys turned up, i can remember that there were 5 of them but can't recall what they all were. This was suddenly very comic like in its genre. The 5 good guys each had a turn at fighting him but he was too good for them all. The things i can remember about the 5 is that one could change into animals at will, another was really good with a bow and fired lots of arrows at him, but they all seemed to miss. I can't remember what the others did, or if they did anything at all... Then there is a fuzzy period in my dream, i can briefly recall being at the movies. Not with those girls though. I also feel like i have been in this place before in a dream. The next thing i can remember is being in a large warehouse with scientist people who are studying these 5 people/mutants. I am then talking to one of them and can't remember what his 'power' is i turn away and when i look back there is a large tank full of water and a giant squid is in there. I realise he was the guy who could change into animals and find that there are also kids swimming in the tank with him, strangly enough i think these kids were the cast from Malcom in the Middle, even though i haven't seen this show in a few months. Then a man walks into the warehouse who 'feels' like he is some govenment official who wants to study these guys but without the good nature that the scientists seemed to have. I looked back at the tank to find it was no longer there and none of the mutants or kids were anywere to be seen. I think there was a bit more that happened in the warehouse but can't recall it now. I'm glad i finally had such a vivid and long dream when my recall had dropped lately. Reading this page lots before definatly seems to help with recall i find, happy dreaming, Glor

[Glorfindel_III]

I'm using this post for positive affirmation. I will have one or more lucid dreams tonight. I will be able to focus when trying to WILD. I will remember to recognize that i am dreaming and will wake after all my dreams. I will write all these dreams in my DJ and will awaken feeling refreshed and happy hooray for optimists!

[Glorfindel_III]

wow, that positive stuff works! Didn't have a lucid but i recalled 4 dreams last night I have written these in full in my RL dream journal and because of the length i'm not going to rewrite them all but here are the summaries: #1- Really cool dream, based in the future. Having a race in this flying craft, then we go to a pub. Lots of stuff in between, i really felt exstatic when i recalled this dream. #2- Another race(dream sign?) but we had to go on our knees and propel ourselves with our hands - the prize was underwear strange... #3- WW2 date. In a house with some girls, cooking? A plane flies by and dumps poison? into the river beside the house, everyone thinks we are getting poisoned. Then changes to a scene with a bus. #4- Talking with a group of people from college/uni, race upstairs (hey, i think this IS a dream sign!) I actually think there was another that i remembered while i was attempting a WBTB WILD but i didn't want to move to write it in my journal thus i lost it. And the WILD didn't work either, neither did the HILD i attempted... Oh well, still really pleased to recall 4 dreams quite vividly (especially the first one)

[Glorfindel_III]

Once again I awoke and couldn't remember a dream that I had had. I went about my morning business and while having a shower suddenly got 'hit' by one of my dreams. From now on if I have a full account of my dream in my RL dream journal I will only put brief points in this journal to save myself some writing. If anyone wants to know details from any of these dreams just PM me and I'll have a look over my actual DJ and get back to ya. Heres the dream: I was near the beach in forest, a walking track. I found a cove, went underwater (I knew I could breath underwater but found some explanation for it) found treasure, and strange morse code crustaceons. Went back to a big house to repot my findings to a scientist. This dream was actually quite long a vivid, so I'm pleased to noitice that since keeping a DJ, I am definately remembering more/having vivider dreams.

[Glorfindel_III]

Well it worked last time, so I'll try it again: I will have one or more lucid dreams tonight. I will be able to concentrate during WILD and will use my L.A. technique so I can focus enough. I will wake after every dream I have, write it down and then use a different technique to induce a LD. This is the song that doesn't end yes, it goes on and on my friend some people started singing it not knowing what it was and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that doesn't end.... ............. ............ .............. ...........

[Glorfindel_III]

wow! that positive stuff is a GOLDMINE! 4 dreams recalled again 1: Sex dream involving Jennifer Love Hewitt!!!!!!!! (that pretty much sums it up, quite a short dream, but HELL YEAH! if that happened in real life, *melt*) 2: I was trying to get away form someone/thing. I ended up going to a beach and getting into an unlocked house. (in my dream i knew this house and my Mum was going to buy it in the future ) I tried to level via the main door out onto the lawn at the back but there were 3 or 4 dogs barking at me tied up outside when i tried to leave, so i waited inside. I went to look out the window when suddenly i 'knew' that the actual owners of the house were there. I ducked away from behind the curtain that i was looking out and told them that i was just having a look at the house before my mum bought it. The fact that i was only wearing boxers then seemed to get in the way of my logic and they gave me this look: I ended up just thinking it doesn't matter (DAMN IT, it doesn't matter cuz i'm dreaming ) and just going to sleep on the floor. // I know remember that I've had these feeling before in dreams, "that it doesn't matter anyway", and now associate them with dreaming. Hopefully i can use this as a dreamsign and realise next time it happens that there is reason for 'not mattering' and become lucid 3: I was goin to a pub and entered a strange looking one. Inside all the bars faced the outside window, which is unusual (if things are wierd, do a reality check!!!!). I can remember that in this bar you could do something to earn money. These two guys came up to me and asked if i wanted a fight (apparently this was how you earnt money). I was sitting down and when i stood beside them they only came up to my waist. I told them that there was no competition because I'd waste them pretty quickly but they were determined to fight me. They started attacking me and i easily beat them up. I left the bar with the black bartender, who was now my friend (?) and he said he would get me my money later on. I was now only wearing my underwear (AGAIN - Dreamsign!) so decided that i would need to buy clothes, unfortunately I didn't have any money for the SaveMart that we went to. My friend did so he was about to buy something when we realised that we couldn't buy anything because it was about 1am! We continued down the road and he ended up stealing (?) some clothes off some people who were walking down the road going in the opposite direction (there wasn't anything 'wrong' with him doing that though (?)). The next thing i can remember from this dream is being with someone else (my brother?) and going to get my money form this guy who was taking a yoga(?) group. Once we got there he still didn't have my money. *as much as i can remember* 4: I was in a big shop that had all sort of stuff ( basically the Warehouse, for anyone who knows of it, not sure what the equivalent would be in different countries). I found this place that had a whole lot of house appliances and furniture and there was a rectangle of these things in an open area. I was walking around and around the reectangle when i found a secret 'thing' that let one of the pieces of furniture move so that i could enter the middle of the rectangle. I went inside and watched everyone walking around it. I hid underneath a bench-thing when people walked past so they couldn't see me. I then left the rectangle and saw a neighbour and followed him and had a quick chat. He wanted to get on TV by trying out a certain product, that was getting filmed at that time (for an ad?) The product was a cross between a scooter and a snowboard (this thing does actually exist but in my dream it looked different to the real life counterpart) My neighbour and older brother (who was now magically with us) had a go at it with cameras on them but not actually filming. When i went to have a go at it, the person in charge told me to change clothes so that when filming it would look kewl. I went and changed into the clothes they gave me (shorts and shirt with a 'surfy' feel) and went back to have a go on this snowboard/scooter and was going down a fake skifield thing that was set up to demonstrate its abilities. They started filming and only shot a few seconds worth. *At this stage the dream kinda 'shifted' and i was now trying out for a place as a model (?) I was now introduced to a foreign girl who i felt like i had to live with if i was to continue with the model process (the dream had a reality TV feel by now). I then had to go get weighed and the man who was showing us where to go was very forceful and MADE us walk fast by pushing anyone who was at the back. (we was myself and all the other people who wanted to get the 'position') We walked past a table that was full of a whole range of foods and we had to pick the food that we wanted as a treat (as models we were on strict diets, obviously) I chose Skittles and went to the person that weighed us. I was wrong about the 'us' part and the weigher took out food then used a special machine to work out how much of the food we were allowed (something to do with the energy content or something). The guy tipped back, into a plate, the amount of Skittles i was allowed (which was about 10 or 20 ) We then moved on to the next part of the selection process. As people were lined up, waiting. I remembered that I still had a couple weeks of univeristy (which was true, at this point my mind was 'awakening' a bit, which i think means I was kinda close to lucidity ) he said that I wouldn't be able to go back because this job went for 7 weeks. I told him that this would be impossible, especially because I had exams in a couple weeks (true again). He said it wasn't up to me because I had signed the contract. "But I haven't!" I told him. By that stage it didn't matter because it was my turn for the next part of our application. I went up to this big table/bench that had a surface that rolled towards the front (like what happens with some grocery shops at the counter). Because I had been talking to the guy, I didn't know what I had to do. I stood up at the end of the bench thing and as it started moving forward I noticed that there were lots of sea-'stuff' lined up in front of me. The two guys at the end of the bench were getting prepared to throw hamburgers at me (yeah, strange, I know ) but apparently I had to dodge them and throw the stuff I had back at them. Being the expert at foodfights that I am (or at least was in my dream) I started hurling the food at them while dodging anything that was thrown at me. By the time I got to the end that they were at, they were covered with food and I was spotless. Everyone seemed really impressed with me and for a finale I scooped up a couple hamburgers and proceeded to give the two men one last taste of my food throwing ability. *end of dream (or as much as I can remember)* Possible reasons for having vivid and long dreams: I intentionally ate banana and chocolate (I've read stuff saying both have an effect on recall), positive affirmations posted in previous post. Telling myself before bed "I will remember to recognise that I am dreaming and I will wake after every dream. I did actually wake a few times during the night but didn't write down anything until the morning. I am very pleased with the vividness of my last few dreams and the amount is also increasing quite nicely

[Glorfindel_III]

K, only one small dream from last night. Not surprising really I think I was probably stressing because of a seminar I had this morning. It went well and that's one more assignment done so hopefully I'm not stressing too much about upcoming exams Dream: I was in this big fancy clothing shop that catered to the rich only. I was with a DC friend, who I've never seen before, and we were talking about going to some museam (sp?) We didn't know how to get there and a guy who worked at the shop, who was coming with us, suggested that we ride on his horses. That's all I can remember, bizarre dream...

[Glorfindel_III]

Tonight I will WILD successfully. I will be able to concentrate during the relaxation stage and will pasivly observe any HI or tremors of my body. During my dreams I will either see a dreamsign or I will see a lion or tiger, this will remind me that I am dreaming and will become lucid. Once lucid I will increase my lucidity, increase the length of the dream and follow through with my list of 'things to do once lucid' including flying crosslegged and using 'harry potter' 'magic. I will wake after every dream is finished and record the dream in my Dream Journal. I will sleep comfortably during the rest of my sleep.

[Glorfindel_III]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, recall is down lately, proabably because end of year exams are coming up. Im going to slow down trying to 'seriously' go for LD's and just have a go at WILD or whatever and try and remember all my dreams but not worry too much if it doesn't happen. Over the last couple nights I can remember small dreams that were the ones i had just before i got up in the morning here they are: Two nights ago: Playing Conquer, but in real life, first person. I was on the farm and all the different implements i saw would become weapons, i was planning to PK (player kill) someone because he would drop some good weapons but I didn't end up doing it. Last night: I was in the 'forest' at my dad's place and had just got my haircut, which looked kinda cool. I then ran throught the forest and jumped up into a tree and landed down by someone I knew. That's all. (On a dreamers break) Glor

[Glorfindel_III]

I woke up knowing that I'd just had a dream but couldnt remember it, very frustrating. Then bout half an later it just came to me Dream: I was in a hotel (?) and was looking outside at this lady in a park below me when this monster, very like the one on Jeepers Creepers, flew from the sky and grabbed her and flew away. I was with a few others in the room and can remember telling them that if i was her i would run away and duck just before the monster reached me. Then a whole lot more of these things flew down and started grabbing everyone. One of them missed his target and started flying up towards the building i was in, he was flying too fast and accidently crashed into the window i was looking out. Id didn't smash but he looked at me and our eyes met. I actually wasn't as scared as I should have been looking back at this... I knew that he was going to come for me because i saw him, so, with my friends (can't remember who they are), we ran out of the building. I was runnning all over the place and at one time entered a room that connected a set of spiral stairs and a kitchen. Two of these monsters, although they looked very human now, appeared. I dodged them into the kitchen and tried to hide. They started looking for me and one of the other guys i was with. I thought to myself, I may as well give it a fighting effort, so started punching these guys as much as i could. I was actually doing quite well and they were looking worse off than me. I grabbed some of the bottles of alcohol that lined the shelves and was throwing them or smashing them over the monsters heads. When i tried to smack one guy it just bounced off his head and he grabbed the bottle and started drinking it. Whatever was inside healed him greatly and he was healthy again after drinking it. We then started playing pool with the monsters ....and they were cheating too (bastards ) I actually pulled out a shot that i would be proud of in real life And the monster guy kept nudging balls with his cue when he thought i wasn't looking. The end Random dream and even randomer ending. Bizzare

[Glorfindel_III]

One or two (not sure if they were scene changes or different dreams) dreams last night. Only brief recollection. Walking around a town similar to my home town. Remember meeting up with some girls on a corner somewhere. In an elevator trying to race (dreamsign!) someone in an adjacent elevator to the top floor. The buttons did something funny (not an actual malfunction though) and we ended up losing. I think being very tired when you go to bed has an adverse effect on recall. Maybe something to do with your conscious mind being to tired to awaken in your dreams.

[Glorfindel_III]

Getting better again... I can remeber many fragments of dreams but am not sure if they all came from seperate dreams or if they are combinations of the same dreams. 1: I was at a beach and was looking for someone who was further along. I was wearing a heavy jacket and was carrying something (?) As I got closer to the person, a big wave came towards me and i realised I would not get out of the way in time. I put my back to the wave and as it was crashing over me I was trying to find breaks in the wave so that i could breath. I got dragged out into the sea slightly and couldn't go where i wanted because my jacket was so heaavy that I could'nt move properly. *blank bit* I was at a man's house after the beach thing and he told me to come inside and dry off. I entered the house and was having a shower...can't remember teh rest. 2: I went to some sort of dojo where i was waiting to fight someone. There where quite a few of us waiting and i was wondering if i would be able to defeat whoever i was meant to fight. Three guys from another club entered and I realised which one I would be fighting. (Can't remeber if this came before or after previous part) The guy I was meant to fight (I'll call him Scott) was in a house with me and one other guy (John). John and I didn't really like Scott but we were being nice guests, i think it was John's house, and letting him stay. Scott was mucking around with a little box thing that had a few 'things' on top of it. *this next section was my memory while in the dream* I thought that Scott was showing a lot of nerve playing with this box because previously he had stolen some of the things on top of it, which John and I both knew had been Scott that had taken them. *all i can remember* 3: I was walking down a street towards a row of buildings at a 'T' intersection ahead of me. I crossed the road and just before I enetered the building I saw a friend and we walked off in a different direction together. We were walking down a different street and as we went past a bus stop a car was trying to use the sidepath to help him park. He drove onto the sidewalk and was going around the left of another car but couldn't quite fit. In the end he just drove off. As we reached the end of the street there was some type of crash, but not a serious one. *not sure if there was more...* I woke up at one stage during the night with one of these dreams in my head but didn't write it down *STUPID, STUPID, STUPID*

[Glorfindel_III]

Only fragments from last night. Playing conquer again got a really good item. Never seems to happen in RL, so maybe i can use this as a DS. Tonight/this morning I will wake up after every one of my dreams. I will write them down in full in my DJ, then fall back to sleep into my last dream and become lucid. I WILL I WILL I WILL.

[Glorfindel_III]

Last AWESOME LD was recorded in the Lucid Experiences section.

[Glorfindel_III]

K, a few jumbled dreams, can't really make sense of the order that some of this happened. I was on a jetty and looking at a boat that was half underwater because the back part was skinking but the front was still kind of afloat. *blank bit* My little brother and I were out on a boat in the ocean, with land in sight, but we were trying to catch someone/thing. We split up and I got into a liferaft like vessel, I was going towards land but then noticed it had a puncture and was slowly loosing all its air. I somehow got back to shore and we were then in a beach house. Someone was installing Sky TV into two of the rooms and we had to stay out of his way. I wanted to be able to sleep in the room that had access to the computer. Two of my friends turned up at the door and I said hi to Mark but Scott was just calling in to see Mark, who turned up first. *all I can remember* The beach scene is definately a dream sign and I need to learn to look for it in dreams and waking life.

[Glorfindel_III]

Grrrrrr. I'm getting slack = / A couple of days back I had an afternoon nap in which I had a fairly vivid dream that seemed to contain MANY examples of symbolism. I also felt that I had had a similar or exactly the same dream before too. Strange feeling. Like deja-vu, but not. I WILL GET BACK INTO DREAMING. I WILL RECORD MY DREAMS IN MY DJ. I WILL THINK ABOUT LUCID DREAMING DURING THE DAY. There, that should do it.

[Glorfindel_III]

Muahahahahahahaha, another LD That makes a total of 4 since iv been into it, which is about 2/3 months. I had just received a stone to help me try and improve recall/lucidity ( see http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic....der=asc&start=0 to see what I'm talking about) and fell asleep at about 4pm. I was in a ND in a large room with many bunks. I can remember seeing the same person in two different locations and this was the cause of my lucidity (although I didn't have high lucidity during the LD). I can remeber beating up a guy from my Hostel that I don't like (because I could) and randomly kissing another lady (for the same reason). I wanted to try teleporting so I closed my dream eyes (not really a good start) and imagined being where I wanted to be. With my eyes still closed I felt around till I found a wall and pictured myself in the location where I knew that wall was. When I opened my eyes I was now in a different place (and where I actually wanted to be). I then was trying to convince my Dad that I was in fact dreaming and he was too (low-level lucidity ) I tried to change the digital clock on the oven to set it for one hour ahead, which would make my LD that long. But the time shown on the clock was 4:85pm (or something similar involving an impossible time) I realised that I couldn't change this to an hour ahead, because you can't set it to an impossible time I then looked for a broomstick to go flying with and had low success but by this time I had nearly completely lost lucidity. My dream continued with a series of Harry Potter related themes, and it finished inside a computer game. I woke up holding my stone and it took me about 5 seconds to realise I had just had my 4th LD

[Glorfindel_III]

Dream: running from two people, I am with a friend. There's horses and a gully, and a paddock of Dad's

[Glorfindel_III]

Getting back into DV and LDing. Going to have some great LD's in the future with focus on a higher awareness. = )
