Thread: Twoshadows' Dream Journal

Soo... did you dream that someone was coming towards your door or was there really someone there?

No one was there. But it was so real.

But it seems like a lot of people have the experience of Sleep Paralysis going along with the feeling of a scary presence nearby.


On a side note, later in the day I swear I heard the front door open and close, but when I checked nobody was around. It was kind of weird for both of those to happen on the same day.

Wow, you have such a big DJ and so many dream experiences and yet that was your first SP moment? Interesting.

Yeah...I think it is because when I have WILDed in the past, I make sure I don't try to move until I'm sure I'm in the dream. I never wanted to go through SP and freak out and lose the LD.




I also had a really cool Lucid Dream last night where I did two of the MM tasks of the month.


Lucid Dream:

I was in this room with a friend. It looked like a bank. My friend went to stand in line. I walked to the back of the room to wait. On the way I slipped and fell on the floor. I sat there for a moment, then noticed that I was starting to spin. I found this strange and just let it happen.

I then became lucid. I jumped up and flew over the line of waiting people. In the next room I tried to remember the tasks. I remembered two. One was to look at a clock. I looked around the room and saw a digital clock sitting on a cluttered shelf. It said 7:42...or was it 7:34...no, it was 7:47. I really tried to focus and stablize it, but the clock was a blur of numbers that changed everytime I tried to focus. I remembered people saying that time changed, but I hadn't realized that it was quite this unstable. I wondered why that was.

I then remembered that I needed to use my five senses. I had already been seeing and hearing things, so I decided to focus on "touch". I reached out and felt the solidness of a rail in front of me.

I then decided to find something to taste. But before I had gone anywhere I realized that I had already been eating. I had a bowl of macaroni and cheese. I cold taste the cheesey flavor and feel the peices of partly chewed noodles in my mouth.

I decided to move on to smell.

I flew around and saw Jeff. I told him that I needed to find something to smell. I couldn't see anything that would have a smell to it. I then looked at him and asked, "Have you been working out? Maybe you'll smell sweaty?" But as I leaned toward him and couldn't smell anything.

I started flying out of the building. I then saw next to the door a styrofoam container of food that somone had brought back from a restaurant. I openind it and saw leftover green peppers. I knew that they would have a smell. I put my nose right to them and took a big whiff. I could smell a very faint pepper smell. I was disappointed that my dream nose wasn't better. As I pulled my nose back I realized that my nose had touched the peppers and that the peppers had little prickly throns on them and some of the thorns had stuck in my nose. They were painful to pull out. Jeff thought it was funny that I had let that happen, as if I should have known better than to put my nose up to peppers.

I followed Jeff into the parking lot. He got into a large white pickup truck. I started to get in too. Then I had an idea. I told him to just start driving and not to worry about what I was doing. I then rolled the window down and stood outside the truck and reached in and grabbed the handle above the window. As the truck started to move I was carried away, floating beside the truck. It was a wonderfully exhilerating feeling. I told myself that I would have to remember to try that again in future LD.

Jeff stopped the truck too soon and started talking to someone. I got back in the truck and waited. I saw a baseball glove on the seat. I ran my fingers over the soft leather, then picked it up to smell it. It had a faint leathery smell. I then started touching other parts of the car so I could say that I really did the task thoroughly.

My dream faded and I thought I had woken up. But then I forced myself to relax and drift back into the dream.

I was now in a building with Marie. There was a bad guy we were having to get away from him. We locked outselves in a bathroom. I felt quite nervous. But then I told Marie that if it got too scary then I would just let myself wake up.
And that's all I remember.

Did you get the feeling that using all your senses made the dream more vivid? Bummer that your sense of smell didn't come through on the food. Kind of unexpected, since you have so many great food dreams. I always think of taste and smell as being so closely linked.

Yeah, I'm really interrested in the answer too. I posted this just so I get an e-mail when you respond... Your dreams are really interresting... I mean LDs.

Yes, I definitley think that using my senses made the dream more realistic. I have made an effort in the past to make usre I use the sense of "touch" becasue that has always helped dreams seem more real and therefor more magic because they are less "dream-like", yet I'm doing all these fantastic things. But I have never tried using all in the same dream. I'm going to want to remember to do this more often.

Hi SleepyCookieDough-- Sorry I have been busy and that it took so long to say hi and welcome you to my dream journal. Thanks for reading my dreams. Hope all is going well with your dreaming too!

I'm starting to have another reoccurring dream.

Dream:

I was in what was supposed to be my sister's house. I went up this huge staricase to where her room was. To my surprise she wasn't in bed. She was standing up. She then turned around and jumped in bed. I was amazed at how strong and healthy she was. I sat down on the bed next to her. I noticed that her hair had grown in and that it was cute into a cute short sytle. I ran my fingers through her har and commented on how I loved her new haircut. I told her the last time I had seen her she was completely bedridden and was very sick and had no hair...and how wonderful it was to see her looking so well and healthy.

Then she showed me what she had been working on. She had started up her jewelry making again and had made a bracelet.




This dream was inspired by a real life conversation I had with my mom who had just come back from a visit with my sister. Apparently now that she is off her cancer medication, the tremors in her hands are getting better and she is going to start up her jewelry making again.

It is good to hear she is going to be able to keep doing something she loves. I'm sure I've mentioned, we have been going through a similar situation with my girlfriend's dad. It sucks that the treatments which are supposed to help him are exactly what make him feel so sick. It makes it hard to stay positive.

I hope that everything gets well with both of your relatives...
And thanks for the welcom

Just like what sleepycookiedough said, I hope things get well for your relatives.

Thanks, all of you, that means a lot. And I, too, hope all goes well with your girlfriend's dad, RB.


Dream fragment:

I watched as Barak Obama flew to the top of a tall circular tower with white pillars and started to speak out in a loud hypnotic voice, " I, Barak Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear...."

I just had two boring fragments, but I need to get in the habit of posting my dreams again even if they are boring.

Two Fragments:

1:

I was rearranging my bedroom. The room was not my real room.

2:

I was watching a lady planting little plants around a tree. I was surprised because I thought it was still too cold to plant. But it got me all excited to go home and plant. I think the lady gave me a few to plant.

Here are a few dreams that I'm behind on:

Lucid fragment:

I was laying in bed and looking over at my nightstand and watching this ver large black widow spider. It was about 6 inches long. I remember knowing that it was a dream and looking at it closely and thinking something like, "Wow...look at that detail. It's amazing that my mind can come up with that kind of detail. I couldn't draw that in real life--I wouldn't know exactly where to draw in the legs and the cephalothorax --so how can my mind create it so perfectly.

Then I saw two beetles walk across my nightstand. I wondered if the spider would try to catch them. As soon as I thought this the black widow pounced on one of them and started to suck it dry.

I must have been quite lucid or else I would have felt quite creeped out by all of this.


Fragmant 2:

I had another fragment where I was talking to a member of a band that I was going to go listen to. He told me their band was called French Sized Babies. How weird is that?


Dream:

In another dream I was in a raft on a river and these kids had somehow fallen into the river. I was trying to lean over and pull them out, but they were passing me too fast.


Dream:

Um...another Oneironaut dream. I guess my dreamself can't stay away. It was very nice. I'd like to explain just how nice it was in detail, but I'm really too embarrrassed to.



By the way, I'm going to be in Phoenix for the rest of the week.

Yay! The black widow dreamsign finally delivered.

Yeah, I guess it did. Cool....



Dream:

I was in the White House. Obama comes up to me and starts chatting with me in a friendly way. I suddenly wonder if he knows that I didn't vote for him. He then asks me if I will help him with a project. I'm curious so I agree.

Then we are looking out of a window and I see a man from my town running around playing football with his two teenage sons. Obama mentions to me that this man has controversial potitical involvements. I already knew this. Obama asked me why I hadn't called the police and had him turned in. I told him that this was a good man and a good father, that I could never do such a thing. I felt it was very hypocritical for Obama to want a man like this punished.

Then Obama sits down at a desk by me and starts showing me what he wanted my help with. He needed me to make the invitations for a big upcoming political event. He was about to leave me to work on them, when I realized that I had no information. I stopped him and told him that he needed to tell me what the invitations were to say.

He told me to make them small and one-sided--like a business card. That the top line would say, "Strange Enigmatic Epic Star" The next line was "May 14" [or possibly May 24th] And then the third line had the location listed.

After I had written this all down Obama started to walk away again. But I called him back and said, "What is that? What is all that about the star? It makes no sense."

He then looked at me and asked slowly, "Doesn't it...? You'll figure it out...in time."

I then asked, "But what about the people you send the invitations to--how will they know what that's all about?"

He answered, "Oh, by then they'll know." And then he walked away.

I sat down and started sketching out ideas for how I wanted to make the invitations. While I was doing it Hillary Clinton stopped at my desk and stared watching me. She asked what I was doing. I explained that these were invitaions for the futrue political event.

She looked at me with a strange expression and asked, " But that is still so far away. Why would he be doing this already?"

I answered, "I don't know, but he made it clear that he wanted these all printed up as soon as possible."

I knew he was up to something

How mysteriously prophetic. Lets try to remember this dream when May rolls around. I bet we can find some obscure event to link it to and crown you the new Nostradamus

Yes, it felt a little mysterious. And yep, at least me have a date to watch...



Dream:

I was eating cookie dough. It was oatmeal chocolate chip. Oh. My. Gosh. Yum. I knew I wasn't suppose to be eating it, but I did it anyway. Bad bad me.....

If there is any cookie I'm craving right now, it's oatmeal chocolate chip. Oh, and we can add macadamias and white chocolate chunks too.

Sigh.....

Oatmeal cookies are the best! I prefer rasins to chocolate chips. I've never liked chocolate chips for some reason.

You can probably make healthy-style oatmeal cookies, can't you? With some appleasauce and avocado instead of sugar and butter?

Bad girl, you should be spanked

raw cookie dough sounds good right now

I used to love eating cookie dough when i was really small. Yum is right.

I had a dream in which I was eating a small mountain of cookie dough... I could still feal the taste when I woke up.

Yes, there are healthy recipes, and I know exactly how I'm going to make them when I start eating that way again.

It took me two days after this dream to stop craving them. I'm doing okay now.

Hi Man of Shred. Welcome to my Dream Journal....

Edit: Holy Cow, that's you, Ranma--that name threw me off. Somehow I missed seeing your signature when I went through and clicked on the multi quote bars.

So I'm going to change the above to "Welcome back to my DJ". I've missed having you around.

(looking back, I have no idea how I missed seeing your sig the first time....)

It's amazing how real things can taste in dreams. I've also noticed how things can linger when you start to wake. It's fascinating.



Last night's Dreams:

A jumbled mess....

Something about holding a green frog,

being in an airport and watching jets land and then driving past the jets,

being at a school for some special event involving dodgeball and an academic competition,

looking in a fridge and trying to find something I could eat,

being in the back of a car with all these little kids and trying to get them seatbelted in,

being in my backyard in my childhood home.
