Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

"So I obviously didn't quite get this second task done. But I feel that I did a great job in levitating things even though they were neither ground hogs or prairie dogs." - Twoshadows



Thats really funny. I also tried that task and was unable to find a groundhog. I did, however, ride a penguin(like you would ride a jet ski) then I levitated it.

Yeah, and that could certainly be part of it too.

LOL, good sentence to do some RC on

Ooops. I usually proofread what I write...because I do make a lot of spelling mistakes. I am usually in such a hurry to get my story down that I don't want to stop and fix things until the end. But obviouly I missed that part.

Ohhh, such a typical dream sign indeed. I've had it a dozen times as well. But last night I finally realised and did an RC when it happened again.

YEah...and I missed another camera dream sign last night. I wonder if I'll ever get it. But I'm really glad you did. i guess there is hope!

It was funny, you don't like Bush, but he still was nice to you

Yeah, and that was nice.

Argh, isn't that annoying how even a reference to LDs doesn't get you lucid...

I guess I really need to do something to sharpen up my brain, so I don't miss these ovbious things.

Very interesting way of reasoning!

It made perfect sense to me at the time..

That would be scary IRL, having SP in a life threatening situation. Good thing you could remain calm.

And this made perfect sense to me too at the time. It's nice to know that Sp only happens while you sleep. Now if only I had realized that at the time.

Ohh, that's a really sad dream

YEah, my sister is on my mind a lot. She is going to start another round of chemo soon.

Through the majority of my dreams, I maintained that dream control / superpower mentality. Once my brain learned that it could control dreams, it just decided it wouldn't relinquish that control. Its like I just subconsciously continued to act according to the habits I developed while lucid.

That is a really nice thing to know. Not that Iplan ontaing a break from LDing in the near future. But there will probably eb a time in my life when I'm not practicing it as much as I am now.

I wonder if, on some level, I just assume I still have that control even in real life. Sometimes I catch myself trying to superpower my waking life without even thinking about it. Just out of habit.

Exactly. Sometimes as I sit I will think about exactly what I do in my dreams to get me to float/fly. And it actually feels strange that I can't do it. And like I said about recently trying to levitate things after that dream where levitation came so easily. It's like I had to see what would happen if I tired it in real life.

Actually I'm glad it's not possible in real life. I mean, if I could do it, then how many others would there be that could do it. The world wouldn't feel quite as safe if I knew others had magical supernatural powers.

Dream 1:

I was at the beach with the Girl Scouts. We were playing on the shore. I was looking out into the water watching the waves.

I then noticed that there was this really huge wave coming in. I knew that ocassionally big waves had come in. I wasn't there for the last one that had come in maybe a half hour ago. I knew that the water would come a lot further up the beach after a wave like that.

The wave had started way out and it was still pretty far out. I grabbed my purse and headed inland. Others had noticed the wave and were coming in with me. I noticed the sand was still wet from the last huge wave. I kept running because as I looked back the wave was getting closer and I didn't want my purse to get wet because my camera was in it.

The beach got steeper. I went up quite a ways and I was shocked that the sand was still wet. These were truly gigantic waves. I thought about the tsumani that had killed all those people. I also realized that we were in Indonesia right now. I wondered if these waves were actually tsunamis. Because if the wave got this far inland it would have to be horrible damaging to anything or anyone closer to the beach.

I finally stopped when I got to a house overlooking the beach (but that was at least a half mile away). I pulled my camera out of my purse. I wanted to get pictures of the wave. And also of the houses and people in Indonesia sicne I realized that I hadn't taken any pictures yet.

I started taking pictures and the lighting was beautiful and I got many many gorgeous pictures.

I don't remember what actually happened to the wave.


Dream 2:


A lot of thigns happened in this dream but I can't remember them. I do remember the end, though. I went back out to the beach I climbed down onto a dock that had a boat that I supposedly owned.

I looked out into the ocean and felt relieved that the waves looked normal sized. but I felt I needed to keep looking becasue I had this foreboding feeling that huge tsumani type wave was going to come.

Well, sure enough I can see on the horizon a huge wave forming. I, again, try to pull my camera out. But when I pull it out I see that it is only half of my camera. I dig though my purse trying to find the other half. I do find this huge camera piece, but I know it is way to big to be part of my camera. Somehow I know that this is from a video camera that I supposedly own.

I look back out into the ocean and see that the wave is almost here. There is now a guy with me on the boat. I brace myself for the wave to hit and wonder if I would have been better off not to have been on the boat at all.


Edit:

Isn't "Wave" a weird looking word when you start to stare at it? I mean, after a while it doesn't look like it even belongs in the Engluish Language.

Wow, that sounds cool. I want to ride a penguin too....

Yeah, sometimes we have great control wioth the objects that are around us. It's just sometimes hard to get that certain thing (like a groundhog) to show up when you need it...

By the way, Welcome to Dreamviews, BrentMatthews! I hope you enjoy your stay. And thanks for the comment...

reminds me of Hitler in my first LD

Interesting beach dreams. Really makes me want 30 degrees Celsuis right now.

And you know what's funny... if you say or see any word repeated it just starts to look bizarre. Language overall is just very confusing.

Hope to see a lucid from you soon.

Haha...I guess not. And wasn't I just talking about the need to proofread?

Yeah, we had a few warmish days last week (in the 50's F), and I felt like I was in heaven. I took a walk in a short sleeved t-shirt. But it's been stormy the last few days. But around here we usually get pretty nice weather by March. And I'm really looking forward to it.

I know, isn't that funny about words....

Thanks-- and I hope to see a LD from you soon, too! It's great that you've started up your DJ again.

Oh man, too bad you weren't lucid. I've recently wanted to body surf a tsunami in a lucid. I think it sounds like fun. It must have been beautiful.

There actually some people that were surfing the tsunami. I hadn't thought about it. I wonder if it is because I did read that suggestion of yours...

If it ever becomes a task, I'm sure I'd have no problem making a tsunami appear. Skillfully riding one might be another story...

And the beach was beautiful--palm trees white sand really blue water. I think it resembled the Sri Lankan beaches I visited.



Dreams:

I had a whole bunch but I only remember fragments now.


Fragment one:

I was trying to get into this very special place. I had waited with my mom for a long time. Finally we are about to get in when I realize I don't have my pass. I can't get in without a pass. I feel terrible. The I realize that Jeff has it in his wallet. I am so relieved.

Then there is this place where we had to give a password. I remember the special password was "Celestial La Luna".


Fragment two:

A group of people who are trying to drain Lake Powell. They have succeeded in draining all the water off the nearby golf courses and are going to do the lake next. I am with some people who are trying to stop them.


Fragment three:

I am in line for something. I see that there is a table that is full of food for the peopel in line. I take a Hostess Dingdong.


Fragment four:

I am walking up these steep steps that are covered in snow. I'm helping my mom get a baby stroller up the stairs.

I wanted to get one dream down that I never did get down. I had it right before I got sick.

My notes say:

"river--dino skull
flying
Dad's office
pics--tree, smile
using like journal"


I wish I had written it up sooner because a lot of it is forgoten. But I do remember what I consider the most significant. I do remember the flying part.

I remember I was looking at something like a TV or movie screen. The way it was filmed made it look like you were flying.

I remember telling the people I was with that this looked exactly like it does when I fly in dreams. And the more I concentrated I was amazed that I could even feel the motion in my stomach. Then I started to be able to control which way it/I went. I flew down these canyons and followed the river at the bottom.

I was telling the others--"Wow..isn't this so cool that I'm able to do this. It's just like I am lucid dreaming!"





And, no...I didn't go lucid.


It was another one of those recent dreams of mine that was cool, and I had some control...but it didn't seem strange enough to me to question it.

Darn, flying is becoming so natural for me.

Well we have got to rely on yukky and/or unusable bathrooms, I guess.

Where has that Huffle Puff been? (sublimnal message to TS...)

IAM HALPING!!!

I don't know. But thanks for the reminder. I'll make sure it shows up in the next lucid.

I need to find my pig-puppet!

I have been awake for a while so I decided to write down the dreams I have had already. And maybe I'll go for a WBTB.

Dream 1:

This was a very cool DV member dream with Ninja9578.

The problem is that in retrospect it doesn't make a lot of sense. In fact at the end of the dream I had a False Awakening and tried to write ti down. Even then it was hard to write (and that was right after I had just experienced it). But I still managed to get a couple of pages written. And I even wrote the words in a fascinating figure eight pattern....

Anyway, so what I remember is this. Ninja and I were sharing a dream. We were flying around and (I know this won't make much sense) marking our lucid dreams.

We were mostly just focusing on his dreams and marking them with a pink string.

By marking our lucid dreams we gave them extra power.

This dream went on for a long time, but I don't really have any more details to share.

Oh, there was this part at the end--and I think this was after I had written the dream down--where I was putting Christmas lights up for Ninja. I was stringing blue and green lights up around some very small pine trees. There was something special about this that I now can't remember.

Sorry, Ninja. I wish I could remember more.

I was telling the others--"Wow..isn't this so cool that I'm able to do this. It's just like I am lucid dreaming!"

lol, That always happens to me. I'll be in a dream and a pink elephant flies by...."huh, its just like the ones I see in my dreams"....and I think nothing of it...

Originally Posted by BrentMatthews

I know...funny and frustrating....

And last night I did it again.

But I guess the good thing about it is my mind is at least thinking about being lucid, even though it doesn't actually become lucid. I mean, that's got to be a good thing in at least a little way.

That's one of the weirder dreams that I've read in your journal. What were we marking my dreams on that we were flying over? That's kind of freaky since I had a flying dream last night too and I never fly in non-lucid dreams.

Yea, that is good. The one of the biggest problems I encounter. My dreams are completely different every time, meaning that, there is never anything that is common to all of my dreams, so I really never know what to expect or look for in a dream to tell whether or not it is a dream or reality, and reality checks do not work worth crap for me for some reason. It's frustrating.

It's frustrating.

The best advice I could give for that is to just get in the habit of questioning your state as many times throughout the day as you can. I know it has helped me with become lucid in dreams.

Obviously dream signs haven't been overly reliable for me since I have been missing so many lately. But I still try to tell myself to try to remember to be on the lookout for things that don't seem quite right.



DV Dream:

I missed a dream from last night. I didn't remember it until I read Hiro's dream journal and noticed that he had almost the exact dream.

I reemmber getting on Dreamviews and coming to my dream journal and seeing all these comments from people, and I was feeling good that so many people responded and were interested in my dreams. It made me happy.

Yes, it was weird, and especially because I can't explain it well.

It was like we were flying through the dreams as if they were clouds. But we were somehow able to tie the bright pink string on some part of it to mark which ones were lucid dreams.

And that is cool that you had a flying dream last night that was unusual. Are you sure you don't remember anything about bright pink string??

Yeah, that has happened to me so many times as well. But since joining DV, and learning about the nose RC that does not happen as often as it used to.

Hmm, you said the RC's don't work. There must be some kind of RC that would work for you.


Twoshadows:The dream with Ninja sounded fascinating. I understand what you mean though. I've been getting so many hard to describe dreams lately as well. It sucks when you want to write a cool dream you had. But it's just so hard to put into words.

Thanks for stopping by, Caradon.


Dream fragments:

I have a brief image of John O and playing drums.

Another of being in a stadium in the very top. There was some kind of accident and I almost fell.

Argh, it happened to me last night! And I even started flying shortly after I thought it. I almost never miss that airborne dreamsign. Oh well, it was a really fun dream anyway. I haven't posted it yet, it's getting late now.

Just thought I would mention that. Funny coincidence it happened just after I made that last post.
