Lol I Can't DJ

I was DJing some hardcore at a rave, when I realized that I don't know how to DJ.

My set time was almost up, but I wanted to avoid awkward song transitions so I chose some really long ass songs.

When that painful moment was over (AKA I was finished DJing) I jumped back into the crowd and hoped that nobody was gonna judge me for that awful DJing. Cause it was BAD.

Later, I was talking to some people and they told me there was another rave happening They invited my to join them and I accepted their invitation.

There was a big ordeal about how we were going to get to the rave, and in one point of the dream I lost my skirt and spent about an hour trying to find it.

Ron Paul's Forest

I was sneaking through the forest. For some reason, I could only navigate if I stayed concealed within trees. I came to a problem though when I found myself against a fence.

The fence was blocking my path. Across the fence was an open landscape with a large home in the middle.

I saw the man who owned the property, and asked him if I could jump the fence and stay concealed between the few trees on his lot as I passed through.

The man I was talking to happened to be Ron Paul. He was kind, and let me pass.

Arrrgh

This dream is all fragmented. I remember a man and a woman staying at my house. The man was someone of big status. I remember hearing them bang across the hall and being rather annoyed.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph Feb 12th:

I slept at my parent's house last night. I was expecting the graph to show that I got REALLY good sleep, but it seems to almost show the opposite of that, which confuses me.

I was surprised at the high noise level, I'm not sure what that's from. I sleep in the basement so it's usually not too bad there.

During the very last few minutes of my sleep, I was dreaming "Lol I can't DJ," which is a longer dream than I made it out to be. I would've thought that I would have had a longer sleep duration for that period.

Dog Sledding to New York

My mother, Dread (my boyfriend), and I were going to go on a car ride to New York to visit my sister.

My sister has been wanting her car back, so we knew that we needed to drive two cars there so that we would have one to drive back in.

So, here was our logic:

Mom and Dread ride in my mother's car together to New York.

My sisters car will drive itself to New York.

I hook up our dog to our couch and dog sled to New York.

LOL

I kept wondering how all of this was going to work out on the highway.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 13th:

Now THIS is how ALL sleep should be!

Sorry for my lateness (VDAY <3)

Storm on the Horizon

I was hanging out with my parents. I noticed a really strange cloud formation on the horizon. The clouds were twisting like a wormhole. It was beginning to lightning.

Our dog was acting really strange as well. He kept twisting his head funny.

We're Trying to Build a Marshmallow Man!

My roomie and I were trying to build a snow man out of marshmallows, when both of our sets of parents visit. They interrupt our progress and begin talking to us about random things.

This Isn't Weird At All

I was in the auditorium with a friend of mine. People were doing random skits in front of many of the university students.

I just realized that I had to do a skit as well. I ran up there with my group, who obviously hadn't practiced either. I couldn't read their handwriting very well, and realized that I also didn't care very much, so we were just like "whatever" and left the stage.

Later, I was walking around the dorms with a giant can of nitrous oxide strapped to my back. No one was looking at me weird or anything.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 14th:

Mudsledding Mishap

My friends and I were bored. So we decided to go "mudsledding". It was something that we randomly invented in the dream, that involved sledding in muddy terrains.

We walked through several swamps before arriving at a scenic cliff. Apparently this is where we were supposed to sled. There wasn't even mud, there was just large drop offs.

I was more fascinated with my environment than willing to participate (as usual), and found the cliffside waterfalls extremely intriguing.

"Hey, should I try to sled off of this one?" One of my friends called out. He was standing on top of a cliff several hundred feet above us. There was a rock formation that had collapsed to form a diagonal "slide" of sorts.

"Yeah, that's probably not very safe," we responded, though some other friends were encouraging him on. I didn't think that he would actually do it, it would be an obviously foolish act.

I turned around for a brief moment, heard a few of my friends gasp and heard the unforgettable sound of a falling body hitting stone.

When I looked back over, I saw that everyone was in shock before running over to see if he was alive.

According to my friends, he was attempting to sled down the diagonal stone, but lost his footing and fell off of the cliff instead.

All of us were in horror. We called 911.

I spend the rest of that dream in tears and shock.

I was walking to main campus when I see someone I used to know, a very long time ago. He starts attacking me and dragging me around.

Somehow he winds up with my dorm room. I'm telling him to leave, I'm shouting at him but he refuses. I have three other dorm mates in the dream and they are all trying to help me, but he is persistent in his staying and attacking me.

That dream sucked.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 15th:

School on Fire

I was trapped in a strange video game. I think it was marble madness LOL.

Somehow, I then found myself in an intercity school. I found strange little dungeons in the school. They were like little caves. Some were bigger than others.

I found a way to interconnect the dungeons so that I could talk to the people sitting in the adjacent cells.

I talked to a boy, who started telling me about how he got there and all the corruption in the school.

Suddenly, the fire alarms were going off!

Everyone was rounded up outside. The boy, a highschooler, told me that he would like to "get to know me more." I had to decline, because I was too old for him.

We watched as the school burned down.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 16th:

Is it just me or am I getting better at sleeping?

No sleep graph for tonight, I slept over at Dread's and didn't bring my phone.

I think the antibiotics that I am on are causing me to be really tired. Last night, I was experiencing extreme fatigue and very rapid pictures racing through my mind. Usually when I get HH, they are slow to come and go, but these were extremely fast, sometimes I would see 5 or more intricate pictures at the same time.

I got caught up in a blue and red kaleidoscope pattern, likely the result of some background music, when Dread decided it was time to sleep. It was really strange, because I had that 'high' feeling as well.

Meeting Dread's Mom

Our dorm was in chaos. This dream really made no sense and was disconnected. I remember riding an elevator upstairs, and inside the elevator was Dread's parents. I remember specifically his mom, because I was certain that she was judging me for riding the elevator or something.

I think our dorm was also connected to a castle that was on fire, but I'm not sure.

Street Dancing for Joy

I had a bunch of exams, and was onto the last one of the night. It was for a class in which I don't even have an exam for, and since I thought that I wouldn't be having an exam in this class, I hadn't studied.

I was really nervous.

A bunch of people who had just finished the exam for that class rushed out of the building. They were all dressed in white. They immediately began to street dance in sync.

It was like walking into a musical.

There is going to be a "history graph" tomorrow. It won't be totally interesting because I haven't been marking my dreams with the app or actually using the reminders, but it will be a start for what's to come.

You Trippin'?

I had been hanging out with Konsento, I think we went grocery shopping. He had to leave for some reason, and told me to stay at his house with his friend while he BRB'd.

I kind of felt like this was going to be awkward.

And it was.

He was obviously tripping on something. He was making weird motions with his face and couldn't keep still. He was shaking and acting, generally, weird.

I had to run to the pharmacy store to buy some pants.

I got a good deal on some jeans, but then when I left the store I realized that I had accidentally bought size 7 jeans. I wondered how I could ever be so stupid to mistake a 7 with a 0. These wouldn't fit me, even with the biggest belt.

My dad told me to buy some jeans for him while I was there, but I only had $3 left. He insisted that I could get plenty of jeans for just $3.

I then rode a double-decker bus into the city.

Leafy Palace

I was with Dread and I was lucid. We were in a video game palace room. The room was kind of small, but it had a porch. From the porch, I realized that this room was suspended in air. Some of the walls were made out of leafs, other glass, and some marble.

Dread was lucid as well. We were enjoying each other's company , but this annoying woman was invading our space. Somehow, we knew her name. Her name was Angel.

She kept trying to get in between us and/or kept trying to focus the attention on herself. We eventually managed to push her out of our dream.

I was playing around and showed Dread how I could pull energy out of myself and watch it suspend in the air. My energy was made up of two different elements: Feminine and Masculine. Words were written within the energies, and we watched as they slowly changed and morphed.

At one point, Dread got too excited and woke up. I knew he'd be back in a few minutes, so I spent some time fixing our palace. Some of the marble blocks were falling out of place, so I'd try to push them back in. It was difficult because they wanted to remain where they were, so they'd just snap back into their incorrect positions.

When Dread came back, I snapped to where he was, which was slightly different in terms of scene.

He rekindled my lucidness and we started talking about our dreams together, and the leafy palace.

Here I am not sure if what I said was a product of false dream memory, or if it was really true: But basically, I remembered that this was a common occurrence for us - that this lucid dream of a leafy castle was not the first, second, or third time that we have been here. That this happened often, but the dream memories usually were lost from deep sleep and stress.

I'm not sure whether to believe myself or not. I find that when I am closer to the dream state, AKA experiencing HH or about to enter a dream, I can recall dreams that I had forgotten before, which are verifiable when I wake up.

It was my turn to get too excited, and woke up.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 18:

86%
I think I figured out how to mark my lucids/dreams on the graph, but I can only do it when the actigraph is still collecting data.

I didn't even bother with the actigraph last night. Dread slept over so it wasn't worth the fuzzy data. I didn't get much sleep. I probably fell asleep around 6 or 7 in the morning, and then woke up at 11:30am but felt completely rested.

I promised a history graph though, so here we go.



Ignore Feb 10th. That was one of my screw up dates.

I expect the next history graphs to be better with clearer data - I will be posting history graphs every Sunday night.

I didn't lose everything!

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 20th:

The circle is my attempt to make a triangle.

I don't have much time tonight, so I am going to rush through these.

A Whole Life Lived

Basically - I dreamed through my entire life.

It was really eerie. I grew up, got married, and had three kids (despite telling myself that I will never have kids). I watched my oldest go through her teen years, and felt like I had wasted so much of my own time away. I wanted to go back to those angsty years myself and just live.

The emotions of the ending of this dream really felt like this:

Five For Fighting - 100 Years - YouTube



Wish I had more time to add in more detail to this dream, it was really emotional.

Neon Sky

I was riding on the back of a motorcycle with Bree. We were coming up to a city, of pure neon lights.

The skyscrapers were decorated with shimmering neon that reached up towards the purple nightttime sky.

We walked around in this shimmering city and Bree ordered a pretzel.

Flying Kite Leafs

I was with Joe, looking out the window. People were flying kites that were made out of leafs.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph Feb 21:

Okay! No dreams remembered last night, but exams are over (for now) so I can relax again!

Dark Masquerade

My friend and I were hanging out. We had just woken up from a long night of partying.

"Where were you last night?" She asks groggily.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"You left for like, several hours, we couldn't find you."

I didn't remember leaving them, but I also didn't remember...a giant chunk of time from last night. I started thinking about the possible reasons as to why I wouldn't remember last night. I've never been one to drink to the point of blacking out. I know self control, and never go that far.

"You were with some guy, who worked in the theater," she adds quietly, "he was wearing a red mask, and was really weird."

I remembered.

I remembered a theater. I remembered him and his strange demeanor. I remembered being trapped.

I recalled that he had been wearing a red dragon mask and a strange red dress suit combination.

"I think I left something there," I responded.

"At his house?"

"At his theater..." But I couldn't recall exactly what it was. All I knew was that some form of malicious deception had taken place.

I recalled the route to his theater, which was located off the side of the street. It was an old theater with a deep mahogany stage and bright red curtains. I navigated my way there.

I instinctively didn't want him to see me. I wanted to take what was mine and leave.

The problem was that I didn't really know what was mine. I was here on an instinct, blindly following intuition.

I hid in the rooms behind the theater. I could hear people talking, and was sure that I recognized his voice among the group.

I navigated my way to his stage room.

Against one side of his room was a red bed. Next to it was a chest. I felt like what I needed to get at was in the chest.

There were a bunch of books on his bed about stage and theater theory.

I quietly moved towards the mahogany chest.

I heard the doorknob twisting.

FUCK.

I jumped on his bed and quickly began to pretend to be reading his book about theater theory.

The door slowly creaked open.

"Well, look who's back," he said, as a malignant smile slowly crept onto his face.

I was flooded with memories.

"What you reading there?" He asked sarcastically.

"This...erm, your book...on...the theater of theory...I mean, the theory of theater...I find it really interesting."

"Well then, you can have it," he responded.

His eyes darted towards the mahogany chest.

"Fuck you," he sneered in a savagely threatening tone, and with a hint of wicked intentions he locked the door behind him.

Sucks for You

I was in down south visiting my cousins. I was on the phone with my cousin who told me that he was stuck at his grandmother's house, and that we had accidentally left him there.

I couldn't get back to the other city, so we figured we'd have to leave him there for six months.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 23th:

Interesting actigraph...And I think based on my dreams, you can tell I am excited about raving tonight...And based on my horrible grammar today, that I am also extremely out of it.

A Whole Bunch of Randomness

I was racing back to my dorm! I was going to be late for my class!

But, if I was going to class, then why was I going to my dorm?

Purple fliers started falling from the sky.

"ENROLL IN SCIENTIFIC GERMAN NAO!" They read.

I walked back to my dorm again, and found that I was no longer rooming with my real roomie, but a raver guy that I know.

He was practicing his gloving.

"You trippin'?" He asked.

"Sometimes I feel like it..." I responded and sat down.

The layout of our furniture was messed up. Desks were colliding and interfering with each other.

I decided that I was going to get a snack.

I walked down to the vending machines, but then realized that half the school was closed for spring break.

I would have to take the secret Hogwarts way there!

I slipped into a hidden door and then walked down a set of moving stairs. But then I realized that I was stuck in this weird room because the stairs only move on Thursdays and it wasn't a Thursday.

A tour group came in the room and started talking about the history of this secret room.

The vending machines ran away, so I was forced to take Bus 100 out of the dorm.



Interesting Find

I was roaming around aimlessly in a parking lot, when I saw that a store was having a massive "Going out of Business" sale. I walked inside to see what they were selling, but it was nothing of my liking.

I noticed that the store was connected to JoAnn's, which was no longer a craft store but had turned into a resale store.

For some reason I was looking at the purses, and noticed that the girl who had pawned her purse here left a bunch of random things in it. She left a bunch of strange kandi that she made in it. She had used glow in the dark beads, but instead of bracelets she had made headbands. Based on her collection, I could determine that she hadn't raved for too long before giving it up. There was also a bunch of notes in the purse in German about her brother. Her handwriting was terrible.

Worth it

I was hanging out with a large group of friends on the far end of campus. It was night time, and we were looking for a short cut back to main campus.

Between two dormitory buildings we found a HUGE pit full of wood chips.

"RAVE!" One of my friends yelled out, and instantly we were having a random rave outside. More and more people came and it was really cool.

And then a police officer shutted us down for "disturbing the peace."

Even though the police officer was on our side, we had to go to "trial". It wasn't a real trial, it was more like a "why-did-you-do-this" meeting.

They were all dissing us when I finally stood up and told them that what we did was so incredible that none of us will ever forget, and no matter how much trouble we get in, it was totally worth it.

Falling Planets

I was on a beach that sloped upwards at a high angle. I was creating random volcanoes.

I started finding random planets in the sand. They were maybe about 10 inches in diameter and were made up of plastic. They looked like little representations of the planets.

I kept finding more and more of these random planets, until I had found more than the nine that we have in our solar system.

Spoiler for Feb 25th Sleep Graph:

The triangles represent a dream (or better, the awakening from a dream).

I had a strong wave of extreme tiredness early on last night (which I am still feeling, which is why I probably can't type today and still feel very slow), so I went to bed much earlier than usual. The huge surge in audio level a little before 0:00 was me getting out of bed to get a glass of water. The audio surges every time a triangle appears because I am also writing in my dream journal.

My dreams for today are ordered chronologically, so you can see what time I dreamed them etc.

Oh - And the graph is shaky because I am sleeping at my parent's house. The bed here doesn't absorb movement as well as my normal bed.

I'm going to start playing around with the reminders now that I am on spring break and won't wake up my room mate.

I'm going to keep this short tonight, + no sleep graph because I forgot to upload it onto photobucket

This is what Happens

AAHHH!

I was going to be late for class! I ran to our classroom, but then I realized that we were meeting somewhere else today! I got lost in the city and kept trying to find where I was supposed to be.

I finally managed to arrive 5 minutes before the class ended. The teacher was really mad at me.

We got into her car so that we could discuss the course. She was driving around really fast and then lost control of the car. She died and I was in a coma for several years.

I finally wake up, but they tell me that I keep forgetting who I am and where I am every 10 seconds.

It Never Ends

I see a tomato.

Hello tomato.

Oh, tomato! You look like a hexagon!

Oh hexagon! You look like a cyclohexane!

Mr. Cyclohexane! I bet you can make a SEXY chair conformation!

I never knew tomatoes could make such good chair conformations.

LinkZelda

Ehhh this dream is longer than what I remember and what I am going to post here, but Linkzelda was in my dorm room and I was supposed to show him around the university campus. My room was really cluttered...

I think there may have also been a part about fighting something badass...

Awesome dreams. Equally awesome data keeping. ^O^

February 29th 2012

I'm SOOO tired right now, studied organic chemistry for another 11 hours straight. I just want to go to bed, but I know then tomorrow I won't want to post last night's dreams...So I better do it now.

OHI. I haven't seen you since I was doing polyphasic, and thanks!

Saturn's Rings

I was lucid. Dread was with me.

We were flying through our solar system.

I found the planet's extremely intriguing. I wanted to see Saturn!

It looked epic! I got to see Saturn's rings up close. They basically consisted of a bunch of meteors orbiting the planet. Jupiter was cool too.

And of course, Dread kept cracking jokes about seeing Uranus.

Just like him to do that.

I realized that it would be really fun to see what it would be like to go through a black hole.

I dived towards one that I created with my imagination, but almost instantly woke up.

Random Fragments

I remember working with a microscope, almost being late to my biophysics class, and finding a highschool friend of mine in my dorm. I'm not sure how they fit into a dream though, but I'm pretty sure they do.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for Feb 29th:

...

I'm not even kidding when I tell you that all of my dreams last night were about solving organic chemistry problems.

I literally can't close my eyes without seeing methyl groups.

And the occasional cyclohexane.



And I'm not finished studying, yet.

Sorry for lack of updates. I have a huge midterm coming up (organic chemistry), so I haven't been able to clear out the proper space to do some heavy dreaming. It's hard to even relax when this thing is coming up tomorrow...

Aced like a boss.

My dreams have been really random lately. It makes it kind of hard to write about them, because it's just like...nonsense.

Tornadoes and Floods

I was looking out the window when I saw a tornado! I had built a cool house out of legos that I thought would be great to take cover in, but someone persuaded me not to because that wouldn't be safe.

The tornado got really close to our house but didn't do any damage.

Later in the dream, or maybe this was an entirely different dream, I remember walking down a boardwalk in the swamp. The boardwalk/bridge thing lead to Tennessee. I kept walking down it, but it was flooding.

Snake Snacks

I was at the store and was very intrigued by how much random candy they had. They had snake gummies and there was supposedly something inside of them like a prize. There was a strange Asian man staring at me the entire time.

Spoiler for Strange Sleep Graph for Mar 9:

I'm a little bit skeptical that I slept for over four and a half hours without moving. I only had a few hours of sleep the night before, and then only one hour the night before that, so, who knows it may be possible.
