Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

Okay. I am sooooo behind in my dreams. I have been having 2-4 dreams every day. I have written some down. Others I have just been forgetting. The more days that go by the harder it is to pop on for just a minute to stay current.


Anyway, I'll start with the ones I remember from today.


Dream 1:

I was taking pictures of people in someone's backyard. It was almost like a wedding reception or something. I noticed this guy. He was leaning over and against a board. I could only see part of his face. I snapped a picture, only to realize right after that he was emotional and had tears in his eyes.

I apologized for taking a picture of him like that. He then stands straight and I can see that it is Brad Pitt. He now seems fully recovered from whatever was upsetting to him. He then comes close to me and starts slowly kissing my neck and touching me. I tell him he needs to stop--that I dodn't feel right about doing that.


Dream 2:

This dream is long and confusing. I remember just parts.

I remember going into this house. To get in we had to climb these stairs that were more like a ladder. Then you had to work your over this lip that stuck out, then into the small three foot high doorway Supposedly this house belonged to me. But there were other people living inside. A Mexican family. I talked to them. The nicest one was a maid who worked with the family.

There is a lot more to this dream, but I have forgotten it now.


Fragment:

Something about an alligator in the water with me.

I had a very intense tornado dream last night. Although I think in the dream I was calling it a hurricane part of the time. The thing was just so huge, I guess I couldn't exactly figure out what it was. But in retrospect it looked like a huge tornado.

Dream:

I was driving down the highway south with my family in a car. I kept looking over at a storm that was forming to the East. Finally I could see a funnel coming out of the bottom.

I don't remember what happens next, but I remember being closer to town when I look ahead and see that the tornado is directly infront of us. I realize that we are actually in danger.

The rest of the dream is trying to get around town avoiding the tornado which is now right in the middle of town. I remember seeing the tonado coming at us between two very tall buildings.

I also remember that a man was helping us by giving us directions to get out of town. I wanted to take this man with us as we left town, but he was content to stay even with the tornado and all.

At one point we had to go through a police barricade.

Anyway, it was a rather stressful dream. The detail of the tornado was very incredible. The tornado was a very dark grey/black, and I could see the texture on the sides as we were close.




Nap dream fragment from yesterday:

I was in my bedroom when my mom picked up my yearbook to read what some of my friends wrote in it. I was suddenly a little panicked because I knew my friends were special (maybe vampires?) and I hoped that what they wrote didn't give anything away.



Nap dream fragment form a few days ago:

I was doing involved with some very intense things with a group of guys (almost seems like they were the same set of friends from the other nap dream--that's why I'm writing this next to the other one.) We had just successfully completed what ever it was that we were doing (fighting?). The guys suddenly start sing the chorus from Queensryche's Neue Regel. The intensity of the song seemed to fit the mood perfectly.

Ok now i have some time to myself and im reading all of your
lucid dreams, which im enjoying intensely since so much of
your first experiences remind me of my firsts ones. Also just to
let you know, i have nice cold drink and i felt like listening to
more pink floyd today so i slapped in 'dark side of the moon'
which feels so appropriate right now!
Im only reading the lucids since they are all that interests me
at the moment, but at some point i may go back and read all
the others as well. In your first entry you mentioned your
tooth falling out or coming loose. A lot of ppl experience that
did you know? I looked it up in a dream dictionary once and
apparently it signifies 'death'.....does that make any sense to
you? To me the dream interpretations dont hold much water.

It wasn't particularly long, but it was an LD, nonetheless.

I was in the backyard of my old house and Philip was there, and he had these magic powers. One of the things he could do was to make things float. I remember I was on this bucket lid-- or something of that shape and size, and there was a rope attached and Philip was pulling me around the yard and I was floating behind him.

At some point I said to myself, "This is really odd. How can this be happening?" And at that moment I realized that I was dreaming.

<span style="color:blue">I then said to Philip "Hey, I'm dreaming! Let's fly!"

And we took off up into the air and started flying straight up--super high. But then I realized that I was losing the dream. I could feel myself wake up. I was aware enough to know that I had just had a false awakening, but I lost lucidity at that point and went on to other now forgotten dreams.

This one is interesting to me, and the LD after this one as well, because i
always know when im waking from a LD because im always back in my bed.
Also i can get back into a LD from there sometimes, but it always begins
again from the bed and then i usually do something different from the
last time.
Ill try not and quote too many of your dreams when i want to say something.
As a matter of fact ill just use the number of the post instead.

Hey supreme, I'm glad you are enjoying my lucids. Are you reading my Lucid Dream journal? That one would be easier to get all my lucids read without all the other stuff. There is a link for it in my sig.

Yeah, the "loose tooth" dream sign.... I have read several thoughts on what they represent, but none of them sound right to me. I think, for me, it's more straightforward: I have a fear of something happening to my teeth. Simple.

Anyway, that's interesting. And that's cool that sometimes you can get back to your LDs like that.

Thanks for the comment.

Dream:

I was going to Disneyland with a group of girls that I didn't know. I think I was a teenager in this dream.

On the way to Disneyland we walked through a Walmart. I remember seeing the Halloween stuff out and saying something like, "I knew they were about to get the Halloween stuff out soon. It's always out by August these days."

Then once we were at Disneyland our group split up, and I paired up with this blond girl that looked a little familiar, but I wasn't sure how I knew her.

At one point we were walking along a less crowded part of the Park, and this guy confronts us. He had curly brown hair, olive colored skin and green eyes that were too light for the rest of his coloing. It gave him a scary look. Apparently he knew the girl I was with. They had had some kind of conflict in the past, and this guy felt like he needed revenge. I felt kind of helpless as I listened to them start to argue. I was afraid that he was going to hurt her. Then he turned to me and lifted his fist. I suddenly realized that the worst kind of revenge is not to hurt the person you are mad at, but someone they care about. I knew he was about to punch me.

I knew I had to say something fast to distract him. I said the first thing that popped into my mind: "I'd rather you kiss me." It did distract him. He put down his fist and roughly pulled me close and started to kiss me hard. I suddenly wondered if I had made the right choice. Half of me liked the kiss, but the other half felt disgusted and used. I finally pulled back and said, "I didn't say that I'd rather be french kissed by you!"


And that's all I remember. Weird dream.

You love halloween. I remember you used to have a sig of that nature.

Yes. I do.

And thanks for the reminder about the sig. It's getting close to time to putting it back up.

But I'll wait until Walmart gets out its Halloween merchandise.

I want to see you in some sort of skin-tight costume. Maybe similar to Burns' catwoman Pretty please?

know its only because im scared shitless of bears!
Also i did notice your link for LDs so i think ill just read that right now!

Thanks for the comment.

As long as i dont linger too long in the waking world i can sometimes slip right
back in but this doesnt always work and i usually just fall asleep.

Hmm...I don't know....

I acutally don't have anything like that. I was Aayla Secura a couple of years ago for Halloween. Made the costume myself. I might do that again.

I have had quite a few bear nightmares in my life too. And I'm very nervous of them in real life too.

Is I can haz pictures?

I don't have the pictures on this computer. I'll have to see if I can find them. If not, I'll try to find the costume (somewhere in the garage) and take new pics this Halloween.

I missed an obvious dream sign last night. I can't even believe it.


Dream:

I was with a group of girls--several of them being girls I knew from high school. I suddenly noticed one of them was Cherie. I thought "Wow, that acutally is Cherie". I went up to her and started talking to her. I told her that of all the people from high school that I regretted not keeping in touch with, it was her. And how happy I was to actually be with her again. I was happy that now I could get her address and email and I'd always be able to get hold of her.

I then went on to tell her that for years I had had these dreams where I was with her again. And in each of these dreams I would be saying , "Wow, I'm glad I finally am with you for real because I keep having these dreams where we are back in touch....."

And I kept telling her how glad I was that this was real this time and not another dream.





Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Quick thinking, TS.

But @ the mixed feelings.

Hey, O. Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah, those kinds of dreams are particularly frustrating. Bleh.



One of these days I'll get lucid again.



I remember a few fragments from last night.


FR 1:

There was a talking poodle who told me to give a message to my friend RC.


I was talking to RC who ended up turning into Nicholas Cage. And I was embarrassed that I passed the message to the wrong person.


FR 2:

I watched a baboon bite another baboon on the leg.


FR 3:

I was watching a rerun of a scene of an accident that I got into on the highway where I was supposedly hit from behind by a truck.

I had an LD this morning.

I'll be getting it up a little later when I have time.

Lucid dream:


I started out watching these helicopters all coming into town. I had never seen so many helicopters all together, so I was curious. There were at least twelve, and they were light helicopters--not military. They entered inside this building that had this huge open area in the middle (like a stadium). The helicopters stopped and hovered and men started to rappel out of them. I realized that they were doing some kind of practice drill. I watched them until they left. I then ran to the window to see them fly off. I noticed they were joined by a what looked like a flying car. I thought that was funny that someone had designed something that looked like the flying car from Harry Potter. Then I noticed that that there were kayaks out there. I thought it was funny that the kayaks were on the same level as the flying things (but that didn't trigger lucidity. In fact, I think I even thought about how this wasn't a dream).

It wasn't until I walked away and looked down and noticed that I wasn't wearing a shirt...or bra, that it finally hit me that I was in a dream.

[I am sooooo glad that that dream sign finally triggered lucidity...so often I miss it completely and come up with some logical reason that I'm half naked.)

The first thing that I did was to take off flying. I love to fly so much that I can't miss the opportunity. So I flew high into the sky--about as high as I have ever been--and then just let myself free fall. I felt the wind rush past me. It was such an exhilerating wonderful feeling that when I landed (softly) on the ground I made myself do it again. This time I didn't want to waste the time flying up. So I just changed the scenery so that I was up extremely high in the sky again. I was so high I could see the curvature of the Earth. Then I let myself fall again. I suddenly knew why people liked to skydive so much. There is no other feeling like being able to fall like this. I was stretched flat on my stomach and holding my arms out where the wind pushed them upward. I did this several times, loving every second of it.


Then I remembered that I really wanted to try to breathe fire.

I was now inside this room. There was s little girl sitting on the floor and and older man at the far side. I took a deep breath and blew out. Nothing. I did it again. Nothing. I tried a third time, and again, nothing happened. I then remembered how joshbotch had success "spitting" fire. I tried doing that, but nothing happened. I felt discouraged. I wondered if this was beyond my ability. Then I reminded myself how it was when I first tried to make fireworks come out of my fingers. I had had the same problem. I wondered if I should do the fireworks one again to help my self confidence. But then I decided that I could breath fire if I really truly believed that I could do it.

So I tried again. This time I opened my mouth a little wider and made the air coming out of it as hot as I could, and I breathed out all of my air, making a little "hhhhhhh" sound at the end. At the very end of that breath I suddenly saw orange flames. I drew in another breath and tried the same thing again. This time I was able to create more flames. The flames extended out from my face about 12 inches.

I tried it again. This time I reached out my hand and put my fingers in the flame. I could feel the heat, but it was not painful. I did it several times while putting my hand into the flame. I was very fascinated with the way it felt.

I then tried to make the flames go further. This time I got them to go out 18 inches or so. I knew that if I kept trying that I would be able to make them go further and further.

But I decided that I wanted to try something different. I wanted to see if the flames were real enough to catch something on fire. I looked down to where the little girl was playing on the floor. Next to her was an old empty cardboard box. I leaned down a started blowing flames on the box. After a couple of breaths I noticed the edges of the box start to turn black and finally I saw the orange flames spread along one side of the box. I felt very satisfied.

I then saw the old man sitting across the room. I decided to go up to him and ask him what he thought about what I could do. I walked over and started to ask him to watch me. But he interrupted and told me he had already been watching me.

I then looked at my hand and saw that my fingers looked normal except for my fourth finger on my right hand. It split at the middle knuckle and had two finger tips come out from it. I realized that that was very typical of what I had seen in previous dreams.

I don't remember the transition. But I was suddenly in another room next to a window. I remembered that I had wanted to see what it was like to crash through a window. So I took a running dive at the window and felt the glass break as I broke through. It was easy to break though and not painful at all, though I heard the noise of the glass breaking and felt the slight barrier of the glass.

Once outside I flew along the street, just a few feet above the ground. I looked around seeing that all the colors were extremely vivid. I then noticed that the sun was setting casting a pinkish glow on everything.

At this point I woke up.

I was shocked at your brutality before reading the next sentence.

@ ninja, I thought exactly the same thing, and only just having started reading Twoshadows dreams I was like, I had no idea she was so cruel!

Then it all turned logical

Cheers

You guys, I can't even kill black widows, let alone hurt a little girl!



When I woke up early this morning I didn't remember any dreams. I had a chance, though, to do a WBTB. As I laid back in bed I had 40 mintues to go to sleep and dream before I had to get back up. I thought about trying a WILD, but I knew that it would increase the chance of not getting back to sleep at all. I knew that I had pretty good luck at drifting off and becoming lucid not too far into the dream.

I had decided that if I got lucid I would try three things. First, do dream flips. Second, I would try to find a character from my story. Third, I would try to jump from rooftop to rooftop.


Lucid dream:


My first memory in the dream was free falling. I was with two cartoon character (more realistic ones). One was a lady and the other a younger girl. We were in a city and falling down toward the ground. I must have been remembering how much fun it was in the last LD, because this was very similar. Though I wasn't lucid, it was a very familiar experience. It is a wonderfully good feeling rush.

I don't know what triggered lucidty, but when I realized I was dreaming I was in an apartment building. I was standing in the kitchen. I immediately remembered that I wanted to do the flips. So I started jumping in the air and flipping. I tried to really pay attention to what it was like. I remember seeing the room spin in my vision. I don't remember ever noticing what it looked like before--I had just noticed how good they felt. I started with back flips, then switched to front flips. For the last one I noticed I got too close to the wall. I was afraid that I would bump right into it. But then I decided that since this was just a dream that I didn't actually have to bump into anything if I didn't want to. I completed the flip and saw that the wall was further away that in had been.

When I felt I had done enough I decided to walk into the next room to see if I could find the story character that I was looking for. It was a bedroom. The bed was half unmade and had white covers. And it was empty. I looked around the room and saw no one. There was a window. I walked to it and looked out. I was high above the ground--at least twenty stories up. The window swung open sideways, and I leaned out. I decided to go out. As I was sliding myself through the opening, I suddenly wondered if I was actually dreaming because this felt too real. But part of me knew that if this was real life I never would have gotten this far since I get nervous being really high like this. I continued to let myself slip over the edge. I fell breifly before starting to fly. I flew out and above the city for a little while. Then I swooped down and landed in a plaza area.

A man with long (to the middle of his back) blond hair came up to me. He was excited to see some one who could fly. He told me that he also knew how to fly and asked if he could come with me. I said, "Sure."

At the edge of the plaza there was a large drop off, as if the city were build on two levels and we had been on the upper level. As we went over the edge, I looked over and saw that the guy could indeed fly too. I was glad.

We flew over what looked like a zoo. The man pointed down and pointed out that the animals had escaped. He thought that since we had these cool special abilities that we should help try to get them in. I wasn't sure that I wanted to take the time in my LD to do something like that. But I decided that it might be an adventure.

I landed and saw a young black jaguar. I picked it up and started carrying it to one of the buildings. Pretty soon the jaguar's claws were really poking into my neck. I decided that I didn't want to do this anymore. I set it down and another girl came and picked it up. I looked around for the other guy and couldn't find him. So I decided to go on to another challenge.

I remembered that I had wanted to jump from rooftop to rooftop. There were buildings around. None were very tall buildings (maybe two story), but I wanted to try anyway. I flew up and landed on the first roof. I ran along the top of the roof to the end. I could see the next building maybe 30 yards away. I got the the edge of the roof and pushed off. I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I knew I could fly, but I was purposely trying not to fly, but just to jump. I easily landed on the next roof. I ran and pushed off again to the next building. The buildings were in a large semi circle (about 8 buildings). I ran and jumped until I came to the end, and then I jumped to the ground. I really enjoyed the experience. I especially liked the feeling of pushing off. I realized this was something I would have to do again and again.


I was about to think of something else to do when I woke up. I looked at the clock and it was 16 minutes past the last time I had looked at it before I had fallen asleep. I tried to go back to sleep since I had a little time left, but never managed to dream again.

darn your lucids are so long and detailed. maybe i should start again but even then i would never reach that level lol.

Thanks, Ranma!

Yes, you should definitely try again. And I'm sure you can get to this level. Just work on getting back into the swing of things, It'll all come back.



Dream:

I had my typical dream where it is Halloween and I am not ready. I ran around trying to find decorations in the garage while my mom and sister handed out candy (at least we had that).

And like a lot of these dreams, I even told myself, "Man, I always have dreams about this happening. I didn't think I would actually let this happen in real life. "

And ....no....reality...check.

Aww, don't you hate it when you do that?
