Thread: Queen Zukin's Dream Journal

My dream for last night was very scatterbrained, just like ive been this past week. It started off with me being a child in the 1970s living in some insanely small town near the canyons. Our little town had a mere hut that acted as a general store and someone burnt it down. Later my big sister and i are preparing for our moms wedding and her redding dress will be red with red roses. I dance elegantly af. Somehow then i am taking care of 3 cats while simutsneously having sex with king geoffry which is absolutely abhorrent but i know the pre-bedtime thoughts that caused this then someone in the apartment living below us gets arrested and i take a dog to a vet at 4 in the morning. That was all one dream.

In my other dream i remember becoming conscious to the fact that i knew i was dreaming but wasnt acting on it

I‘ve been really stressed out from university lately and havent been remembering dreams like I should nor sleeping well either. I started an experiment with Kestrel, though, so hopefully that will inspire some motivation.

Ok I`m pretty drunk so this is going to be interesting

Dream 1: I had this dream within 2 hours of being asleep. The nonlucid part was really stressful, some woman was chasing me with a knife. I became lucid somehow andreally just wanted to gtfo, I remember flying upwards and going through ceiling after ceiling but not gettig past them. I forgot entirely about whatI was supposed to do with Kestrel.

Dream 2: I was looking out my window...shit I just remembered more dreams. I wish I had an actual keyboard. Anyways, I was looking out my window and saw a guy sitting in a chair in midair'

I‘m either getting significantly more drunk or I‘m remembering exponentially more as I type (or god forbid both) so I‘m going to stop here, my tablet is being super slow anyways. I get my computer back from the repair shop on Friday and I seriously cannot wait!!

I got my computer got fixed so I can finally type instead of peck again! Yay. I don't have entirely much to post though. I have been having lucids, but I am having lucids because I am having nightmares in which I am running away from something and I decide to fly away, which causes me to realize I'm dreaming, but I am always still so anxious and restless from the nightmares that I need a change of scenery and I forget my lucid goals entirely. They're stressful lucids. I also keep having dreams that I am in a dark room and whatever I think appears before me, but I can't stop from my thoughts from racing out of control and before I know it something disturbing is chasing me. It's been a stressful past two weeks.

Remember the magic word

I was preparing for an exam, which involved first taking a pharmacokinetics exam and then going outside with a waveboard, flying into the air on said waveboard and then using props while flying below high way signs and not dieing. While preparing for all of this, I remember reading some kind of sign at the school that said remember the magic word: and it was the name of a second generation cephalosporin and I was pumped. So later while I was flying on my waveboard practicing for this I came across a girl and we started walking on bricks into a tunnel sewer and I think she was looking for her mom. And I'm 98% sure there was a sewer monster or something in that sewer but I can't recall. Or her mom was possessed. Either/or. I also remember trying to put ribbons on my waveboard to make it look more festive. Also I wound up getting 3/10 on that stupid test from the beginning of the dream.

The Muscle Eaters

I was stuck in a strange land with a friend who I believe was Kestrel. We were trying to get out. In the dream, we knew we were stuck in a dream-like world, but we didn't know we were dreaming.

I remember vividly her and I trying to climb up massive steps that were made of ice. The steps were about 5 feet tall and climbing up every one of them took a considerable about of energy. Two of my peers came to the rescue and helped us out. I asked them where we should go from here, and they told us that we needed to keep going straight and then make a left.

So we did so, and found ourselves now in what looked like a room that was a hybrid between a long windy path and a skateboard park. Out of nowhere these creatures came out and began attacking us. They ripped into our leg flesh and tried to eat our muscles. They killed Kestrel and by that time I had had enough of this bullshit because you don't kill my best friend and get away with it. So I suddenly went through all of the dream-world-path-scenarios that we hadn't gone through yet and was like, this is bullshit I'm out and woke up.

I bought a Trampoline

I bought a MASSIVE trampoline and put it in my apartment. And for some reason, everybody hated me for it. I couldn't figure out why I was getting so much hate for a trampoline. It was fun as hell but I had no room left in my apartment.

Stop Procrastinating

I had a dream that I needed to email my professor about research. The dream told me that time was running out to do that, so I should definitely heed my dream's advise and do that...

The Literal Worst Festival Ever

Kestrel and I were at an electronic dance music festival. Before we officially arrived, we noticed a large gang of bikers but they didn't bother us too much. Once we got inside, things began going south.

I was looking around while someone was talking to our group and I saw an alligator in a tree. I really hate alligators. I tried to point this out to someone, but they retorted that I was probably hallucinating or something.

We leave that area of the festival once it becomes apparent to everyone that there is actually alligators in the trees. I look back and suddenly the entire stage area has suffered a catastrophic earth quake and has sunken into the ground. What. I think a few more bad things happened at the festival, and each and every time it is a wonder that I didn't become lucid at the sure absurdity of each event.

Reciting things
Not a dream - I had an exam this morning and all throughout last night I kept finding myself in a hypnotized trance, reciting facts about antibiotics that might not make any sense. Thoughtmares.

Supermoon

I was riding into a city on a bus. As I looked out my window, I saw a massive moon sitting on the city horizon. The moon was so huge I could see all of the crators and everything. The other passengers on the bus and I took pictures of the huge moon. It was incredible to see.

Later I was sitting on top of a city building with a guy I fancy. We were looking out onto the moon and it was intimate. I saw on my newsfeed this morning that apparently this weekend is the Hunter's Supermoon. I didn't know that!

No sleep...

wall doodles

I had a new boyfriend and I was staying at his parents house for awhile. His parents made me prove their loyalty to them by washing a bunch of child's crayon doodles from the walls. I don't think they liked me very much, though. I also remember a firey pit of hell opening up from the floor sometime last night, and I'm hoping it wasn't from this dream.

Bounce house

I was with Kestrel in a massive bounce house. I had my hula hoop, but I think people were taunting us. Eventually we decided to leave. Somebody picked us up, it was raining really hard.

Hi there. You have fantastic dream recall! I smiled reading some of your entries. Dreams of food, yes I've had them, dreams of festivals/ big gatherings, Had them too! Dreams of flying precariously below highway signs. I've had those too! One thing I might note. When I was in university, some of my most successful LD attempts came during naps. I am not sure of the flexibility of your schedule, but you may find that if there are night where you sleep little, the next time you go into a nap, you enter REM directly. Making a WILD easier. Just a thought!

Hey there fellow dream-journaler! I saw your dream journal was back in the Grandfathered section. Glad to have come company around here.

I've also found napping to really help with lucids. This is going to make me sound soulless, but I don't have time to nap anymore but I wish I could! Maybe on the weekends.

Some dreams from the past few nights...

Festive

I was doing a lab for school, but it was outside. We got done early and started talking out and eventually decided to make a giant sled that fit like 10 people and ride it around. While we were awkwardly sledding, we started talking about Latvia, because why not. The conversation moved to foreign "thanksgiving" traditions and then to music festivals. I started flirting with one of my class mates and we kissed, but I had gum in my mouth though so that was kind of weird.

Hurricane in Georgia

I was living with my apartment-mate in the same apartment but on the coastline of Georgia. There was a massive hurricane on the horizon. We decided not to evacuate though, and I started wondering how we were going to take his dogs out to use the bathroom. What do people even do in that situation?

Some dreams from the past couple nights...

Potluck

A bunch of friends and family and I were at my parent's house celebrating something with a potluck dinner. There was a lot of food on the counter, though most of it was already eaten when I went to pick out my plate. A classmate jumped out from behind a wall and scared the living shit out of me. I decided to eat some lemon cake.

Cat Tunnel

I['m not a cat owner, but I was 'lost' inside one of those collapsible cat tunnel things. I was exploring this REALLY long tunnel and it was bright colors like I was going down a spiral. A dream character from outside the tunnel caught my attention and I left. Later I was at a grocery store and had a conversation with a peer of mine, and then wished an old acquaintance happy birthday.

house of pebbles

I was at a bus stop waiting for the bus. I occupied myself with sitting on the ground, collecting pebbles, and making a pebble-house out of them. A girl comes along and we start making pebble houses together, and she shows me how to fortify my pebble house so that it resists falling.

Wedding on a Plane

I was at a party in the apartment complex where I lived last year. I wanted to hoop at the party. A lot of people started gathering to watch me hoop, and I was in a...sexier...part of my act when a peer of mine comes down the elevator and sees and is just like..."Wtf did I walk into" and leaves. Later I was on a plane with some Amazonian drummers and we were having a wedding for someone. I decide to go to the bathroom with really bad timing as the plane starts doing loop de loops.

Unwise Investment

I discovered that I had bought a $140,000 property last year on campus. I went to go check it out, and discovered that it was a part of 15 or so more plots of land that couldn't be built on because they were 15 times more radioactive than Chernobyl. I was told it was a wise investment anyways, for the future. Riight.

Dying my hair blue

I decided to dye my hair blue and go hula hoop in the rain.

I haven't slept more than 3 hours the past couple nights. hoping to get a lot of sleep tonight.

Brit

One of the underclassmen killed themselves. Our school responded unfortunately with having us watch their suicide video. It was really fucked up. His name was Brit in the dream, but it's not his real-life name. A girl was texting me while this ordeal was going on, so I got up and left because too much emotions and she was being antagonizing.

The nerve of the person to sell you that plot of land. After reading about chernobyl IWL and the city it was next to, it haunted my dreams for a long time. Something about an invisible threat that you can't see, but know is there, produces a visceral fear response for me.

The intricate geometric structures that sometimes appear in dreams also fascinate me

That sounds very unpleasant. I've had lots of suicide dreams. I don't understand why. I'm certainly a happy person, but itsas if "suicide" hastaken on a different meaning sometimes in a dream.

Yeah, I sometimes try and interpret suicide dreams but it never sounds not-ominous ever.

Got some sleep last night finally

Ich Hoope

I took a ferry (but it was more like a canoe) to France somehow, but it seemed more like Venice, because the streets were made of water. I found a shirt in a shop that I loved a lot and it said something like "Ich hoope" and there was more and it was cute. I also remember some kind of water monster coming up from the depths of the water-streets and terrorizing us all. We went back and forth a lot between the ferry/canoe, and I sat on the docks some and watched the water.
There was a shop that I went to and I tried to call someone on a cell phone so we could meet up there. I remembered looking at the buildings around me and trying to explain my location to them, and noticing how the perspectives of the buildings had changed from last time I had looked at them.

candle

In the dream it was dark in my room and I was holding a small glass holder of a candle that was lit. And the candle glass was super hot and was burning my skin as I was carrying it to the other side of the room.

circus-like

I was at a music festival that had a distinct circus-like feeling to it.

dealbreaker glitch

I was playing a version of the sims in which you had a sim that lived in a small neighborhood on a cliff. Below the cliff and near the ocean was an even smaller town but this town was ruled by time-lord witches and if you accidentally stumbled across their village they would kill you using time travel. So the point of this game was to become a witch in the non-evil-witch town, but to do this you had to teleport all over the town to gain magic experience. Well there was this really bad glitch in the game where it would sometimes accidentally teleport you to the evil-time-lord-witch-town and the witches would freeze time and kill you. That unfortunately happened to one of my sim children. The time-lord witches killed her and forced her to be a ghost forever.

Survivor: Lion Edition

I was on the TV show Survivor, but I was in a cruel season in which instead of getting voted off the island, people got eaten by lions. There were lions EVERYWHERE. We were constantly hiding behind something, hell they were even floating on logs down the river. There were THAT many lions.

I was hiding behind a log when I realized I was dreaming. I instantly was like FUCK THAT and flew into the air and I turned into a cartoon and flew away.

Asthma Attack?

We're learning pulmonary medicine in school right now, so this is PROBABLY why I had this dream but it was still weird.

The dream was dreaming when suddenly I felt it really hard to breathe. It felt like their was mucus in my lungs that I needed to get out so I coughed but that terrible thing happened that happens when you are really sick and the mucus blocked the airway entirely and then you are coughing and you can't even breathe in and you feel like you are dying. Well that happened. And it was awful but eventually resolved itself. That's the most vivid part of the dream I remember, but I recall also going somewhere to get a rescue inhaler but it was after the event.

At least its not lions

I was in my grandparents house. I was working on something else (like a puzzle?) when they discovered that there were small tunnels in their basement. My grandgee told me about this and I had this weird vision of not a heart attack but something similar, and that I needed to 'delay' it and that I've had this dream before and that I was dreaming it again. But then that thought left my head and I followed my grandgee to the basement. He wasn't kidding that the tunnels were small. The small tunnels lead to rooms pretty quickly.

In the first room there were at least chickens and a horse. I think there may have been a goat or two. I didn't think about how these animals were surviving underground but just thought it a weird place to keep animals. And I also wondered whose animals they belonged to.

The next tunnel lead to a basket-casket. I didn't realize what it was at first and opened it. Inside was a corpse that had begun skeletonizing and sinking in and turning gray. It was gross. I think the corpse may have come to life and haunted us throughout the rest of the dream, but I'm not entirely sure about that. The thought of finding a corpse in my grandparent's basement probably haunted me enough.

The Suffocation Dream Again

In the dream I was hanging out with Joe. We were doing something at my parents house when I felt my mucusy in my throat. I tried to cough but again the phlegm got stuck and I felt like I could barely breathe, like the mucus was stopping my airway. Joe pointed out that I had little red bumps on me, which was again the dream getting carried away with all the terrible things I've learned in my pulmonary medicine course. I woke up after that and definitely needed to get something out of my throat. I coughed and this is totally TMI but there was chunky yellow mucus. So it's not entirely in my head.

Massive Waves

I was walking up a coastline with my mom. I walked and balanced myself on a white wooden beam that I think was a part of a light house. I kept walking along the shore when I came across an ent. I don't even feel ashamed to say this, but that was a sexy ent. I got kinky with the tree and waves from the ocean started really coming in. I think one of the waves hit me so hard that I flew up into the air and flew around.

Old Friend

I went to visit a friend from middle school. She was on the news for something and I thought I would stop by and say hi. I knock on the door and I am greeted by a man. She welcomes me in. In the house I notice that there is a baby's room. I ask if she had a kid, but apparently the kid just didn't belong to either of them so ok. I decided to hula hoop in their kitchen.

Laughing Pigs

I was in a GoT universe in which the residents of Winterfell needed to migrate across the map. We packed up our shit and our wolves and started roaming. We came into a city with very tall trees and laughing pigs. I really don't know where the laughing pigs were actually located....I just remember seeing them in the trees and the looming tall trees were like laughing pigs.

We weren't greeted fondly when we arrived in the city. The people of the city tried to set traps to get us to leave. They poured porridge and the wolves smelled it and led us astray.

Kestrel and I DDR

Kestrel was over at my parent's house and we were playing DDR in the basement. Then she had to go home.

Treehouse in the Sky

I had a dream-mom who lived in a treehouse but the tree was super skinny and it went all the way to the clouds. And it was the only tree that did that. People would climb up the ladder, which was probably the literal scariest ladder in the world because of the height and then they would jump out the front door and skydive or they would take miniature hang-glider things. I was getting ready to do my first jump, but I think I got distracted and went to a bar that may or may not have resided within the little tree house in the sky. But there was some safety issues with the hang gliders and people were dying so I guess it was ok that I got distracted.

Bullied By Talking Otters

I was at my apartment, just chilling. My room mate told me he was going somewhere to study. I realized that I left one of my possessions at a building that I was just at and I would have to run back to get it. I started walking down the side walk and was having major trouble with my vision. I kept almost going blind and I was concerningly unconcerned, because in real life this would be a major medical emergency, but I guess going mostly blind was just another annoyance in my day.

When I got to the building/classroom I realized that I forgot what I had forgot. I couldn't remember what I had left here. I didn't focus too much on that though, because in front of me a chaotic scene was unfolding. My class was talking to the professor about the final exam grades, and shit was going doooown. I decided that I didn't care enough to stay and decided to go home.

I started walking home when I passed by a high school class mate. At first I wasn't going to say anything, but as I walked by I felt his eyes looking back at me and I turned around and there he was staring at me. He looked happy to see me. We probably haven't talked since middle school, but he's hella cute so I wasn't complaining.

We started talking and my winter coat hood was annoying the crap out of me. We decide to go back to his place to catch up.

When we get to his place, he shows me that he has an indoor pool of otters. Way cool. I jump in the pool and start playing with the otters. He leaves me with them for some time.

There was one otter that was flat and wide like a pancake. I decide to sit on top of the otter. Then I start hearing the otters talking to me. And at least this time I was partly concerned for my sanity because holy shit talking otters. They were derogatory AF so I get out of the pool and leave.

I go back to the living room where my class mate is and I sit on the couch. This guy then takes my fingers and starts kissing them. OK buy me dinner first please?! But I let it slide, because hella cute. And then we kiss and stuff, but nothing more than that.

SEXY GERMAN MAN

This memorable dream was during finals week (last week), so I'm just getting around to posting it now.

I was dating a total weirdo. I mean, I am a weirdo, but this guy was the bad kind of weird. He literally was a school shooter. And I was still dating him (but was highly considering dumping him). Something happened during the school shooting that left him in a wheel chair. I went to a family Christmas gathering where we were gathered around a small Christmas tree singing some hymn and the entire time he was yelling racist slurs. It was super uncomfortable.

I'd like to think that waking-Zukin would have dumped his ass by now, but dreaming-Zukin had the not-so-wise idea of further torturing herself by bringing him out to dinner with the family. We went to a make-your-own sushi bar. The toppings included sawdust, literal bacteria, Snickers, and whiskey. I realized that I had left my wallet at the hotel we were apparently staying at and I'd have to go back to get it.

When I got to the hotel lobby, I noticed an older woman and a nice looking young man. The older woman was crying in German. Seeing an opportunity (not to just interact with the hot young man but also to be a decent human being (for once)) I decided to ask them what was troubling them. The woman explained to me that her dog was throwing up and she was really concerned that it was going to die. I inspected the dog and indeed it was throwing up. In fact, it was so ill that the tiny dog was resting on the toilet seat, throwing up into the toilet bowl. Like a little human. I told the woman that she could give her dog diphenhydramine for the acute illness, but she needs to take it to a vet asap since I'm not trained in veterinary medicine. I didn't really know how much I helped, so I apologized that I couldn't be of further use and walked away.

The sexy German guy thanked me for trying to help and walked me back to my hotel room where kinky things happened.

The next morning, I realized that I forgot about the fact that I left my family waiting for me at a restaurant and had to make a bolt for it. I ran outside and suddenly I was in New York City. I saw one of my group-members who had bought new boots apparently. She said that even though it had been at least 6 hours later, my family was still at the restaurant and she would take me back to them. We started walking around and I got distracted by everything there was to see in the city.

We walked past a renaissance fair tent and I decided it would be an appropriate time to contort my spine backwards and walk around their tent four-footed.

France Study Abroad

I had made a split-second decision to study abroad in France, even though it would totally throw off my academics and my school doesn't even have a study-abroad-in-France-program. Once I got there, I remembered that I don't know a lick of French except omelette du fromage which isn't even correct I think. I wandered around looking for my host family's house and realized it was pretty far from the language school.

My Notebook!

I was at a fair and was inside a big fancy tent. Inside the tent there was a woman who sold many handmade eclectic things. I was looking at her items when I recognized something familiar. It was a shimmery notebook that I have. I opened it up and found my writing instead. I wondered how this lady got a hold of it. I definitely didn't even know her. I picked it up and tried to find her to ask if I could have it back.

Lucid Flying

Something caused me to become lucid in the dream - I think something annoyed me and I had enough of it, so I decided to remember that I was dreaming. I took off and flew into the air. The sky was a pink sunset and it was beautiful.

Cave Spelunking

I was taking a class about cave spelunking. Our instructor told us that he had these blue goggles, which when worn, would help you breathe underwater in cave lakes. While he was instructing, I watched as a nun carved out a section from the wall and stepped thru it. I looked through the hole and she invited me inside. I was then in a palace for a king and was walking around the rooms. There was a baby room that was small and rectangular and the ceiling was so low I had to crawl thru it.

F that

I had a longboard and I was longboarding down a big hill. I decided to stop by a video rental shop. I went inside but didn't buy anything. The owner tried to charge me $3.50 for not buying anything, but I was like F that and ran out of the shop and longboarded away as they chased me. I eventually got away when I was approached by a man who told me that he would hurt me if I didn't give him my longboard. Again, I was like F that and tried to longboard away, but tbh I've only longboarded once in my life so I was having trouble getting away fast enough and I probably would have gotten away faster just running. But the man also had a scooter and literally teleported to me, cheater.

I started legit running away at that point as his friends ganged up on me. I ran into town and tried to get the attention of a police officer. He asked me if I had seen a specific gang member. When I told him that I hadn't, he said that he didn't have time to help me. WTF.

I eventually ran all the way into a hospital parking lot. The guy caught up with me and threw me to the ground in front of some employees eating lunch. He managed to convince them that I was an escaped mental patient. They took me into the hospital and wouldn't let me free.

The dream changes to some weird sex ritual. There was a blonde girl sitting in that chair from clock work orange who was legit crazy.


Wall Fragment

I was in a *big* yard/lawn/property that had a wall encompassing it. In the middle there was a big mansion. There were a lot of people who hung out or lived in the yard, it was sort of like a park and I think that the wall doubled as a waterslide. I think that the people that lived in the mansion owned the property/park, but they wouldn't let any of us free. I decided to go inside the mansion and confront them, but when I got there it was already empty.
