Dream Journal

Pretty decent recall this morning, but I was a bit lazy with writing stuff down

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I was walking through my local forest with an old college friend named Abbie, looking for creatures. We didn't find anything, so we walked out to the nearby walkway just outside. The overall scenery was very familiar and normal, though the forest was a little more bumpy than usual. Out on the walkway was an abandoned building, which was large and noble from the outside. However, inside was broken and messy, with large holes in the floor that peered down into a huge open void. Arceus from Pokemon was up on the ground floor, but didn't do much before vanishing due to a distraction with a dragon down in the hole. My step father headed down to fight the dragon, and Trump soon followed. Trump gets an unlucky descension and gets his body stuck in a toilet - only his head and neck are poking out from inside the toilet bowl. I tried to help him, but he had already drowned before I could do anything. I left the building with Abbie and was immediately swarmed by an endless army of mice knights storming from the right. We ran towards them and cut across right again to find another avenue to escape from. Unfortunately, more armies cut off our every choice of direction until they caught up with us and surrounded us. I then woke up

Good god, the last week has been awful for dreams. I attempted a WBTB again, which only messed up my recall and the construction became worse. It has finally stopped now, but I had loud conversations going on instead. I managed to get at least something down, but I almost didn't bother

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I found myself and my mother exploring Brighton, but it was much larger and the buildings were more modern. It was still somehow recognizable as Brighton though. We were looking for our hotel, but the buildings created an abstract labyrinth. My mother and I ended up in a huge football stadium among the messy cluster of buildings, and was attacked by a Rathalos from Monster Hunter. We hit behind the barricades in the seating area until it went away, then ran across the pitch to get out. Upon leaving, it was night time in the same abstract building complex, only a guy was there to show me a game. It was a physics based side scroller, but I was unsure of the goal. This guy started to become very flirty, and I assumed he has no idea I wasn't a cute girl. It felt like we were communicating online and in person at the same time. I felt uncomfortable and the dream faded

I'm finally back after a week, but it's been very hard to commit to my DJ. Hopefully I can get a full week of entries again at least

Unfortunately, my excellent recall from yesterday didn't quite continue, but I managed to get enough to fill over half an A4 page in notes. I'm starting to think these poor recall attempts are challenges that will benefit me and really exercise my brain in the morning. Perhaps they are a blessing in disguise, and I'll go further in a shorter amount of time with such intense recall attempts each morning

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

The earliest moment I could recall was taking the bus from a road just outside my house, yet again stressing about arriving on time. Upon arriving at my destination, seemingly after a fade-to-black teleport, I began a fashion class and was seated next to a girl with long black hair. She seemed to be the same girl from the first dream of this series, only her aura was more confident and a little intimidating due to her beauty. She also had more makeup on, which I suppose is fitting for a class about fashion. I'd like to think she resembles a Chinese girl my friends didn't get along with, they called her 绿茶, or "Green Tea Bitch". Once the class ended, I took a bus into the local village nearby to buy some snacks. I never actually entered the shop, and in retrospect, I realize now that the shop was in the wrong location compared to IRL. My dad came to pick me up from the village, and he took me back to where the class was held, only now it was a chef-related job. I had to work with my dad and some teenaged guy, who I was furious at and almost started a fight with. I hated the way he acted, but the details are blank. I got too frustrated to stay in this kitchen/classroom hybrid, so I left back to the village again, only this time my friend Louis was waiting to pick me up in his car. I got in, and we travelled down a short road before I suggested we turn right into a car park, but he mentioned that it's no longer free to park there, so we turn left instead. Louis suddenly decided to make an extremely unsafe left turn in the middle of the road, almost crashing into a black car with an older man inside. The man was furious, but I tried to calm him down with an apologetic gesture through the window. Louis finally continued to drive and take a right turn on to a main road, as the dream began fading into a lost fragment or the end of my sleep cycle

I vaguely remember a fragment of a dream where I talked about Pokemon in a dark, ground floor office lobby. It could fit right after the fashion class, as I believe the person I was talking to was a black haired girl

After 30 minutes of fighting against the yet again continuing construction in the morning, I managed to pull together these fragments and stitch them into what feels like a chronological order. I went out in the afternoon after writing my notes down, and made sure to do many reality checks during my bus journey, which seems to be a common dream element for me now

Recurring elements:
-School
-Family, home
-Local area
-Black haired girl for the second time in a week
-Stressful bus journey on time constraints. Stress in general is common it seems
-Getting angry at someone for the second time

Notes:
-Fell asleep just before 2am and woke up at 9:30, began intense recall at 9:50 and was done by 10:30
-Dreams were not very vivid, but good effort at recall has stuck them in my brain

Finally some decent recall, although still somewhat disturbed by loud construction, and likely poor sleeping habits too. These notes took up an entire A4 page, which is the largest dream recall effort since restarting

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

As far back as I could recall, I was starting off in my living room at home, standing on the stairs and watching an embarrassing clip of a speech or performance from my old school days. I got off the stairs and decided to play with my dog on the sofa and carpet for a little while. Eventually, I found myself at the beach on another organized trip with Nat, from a previous dream. I saw the entire area from a birds eye view, and instead of the usual stony beaches of Brighton, it was a cartoonishly bright yellow beach, with a lush cyan ocean. There were large, old, stone-grey buildings inland. I hung out with Nat for a while, but I can't remember exactly what we did together.

Before I knew it, I ended up in an apartment I apparently owned, which was located on my Grandmother's road, but somehow within reach of Brighton Beach. The apartment was a little messy, as if it had just been sold with all the furniture untouched, and it was quite dark and gloomy inside. Instead of being with Nat at this point, I was with an old school friend named Tom. I found a wild boar in the kitchen, with its head stuck in a wooden board that was painted as a gnome, with its a hole cut-out where its face would go, like something you'd find at an amusement park. I informed Tom that the boar needed help being freed, and he came to assist me. He tried yanking the boar's head out, but I suggested we try pulling it from its body instead, as it would fit through the hole much more easily. We slipped the boar out, and it bit me as it frantically escaped and began charging around the kitchen in panic. I came up with the idea to open all doors leading from the kitchen to the front door, so that it had a path to escape, but it didn't seem to work. I headed outside, where I found myself at the entrance to the large, stone-grey buildings I had seen from a bird's eye view, and forgot about the boar, waiting with Tom for Nat to text me back about meeting up. She didn't reply, so I headed out to find somewhere to eat, which was conveniently next to the building complex. I headed between a red and white circus tent on the beach, and the building I had just left, up a wide avenue that eventually connected to an equally wide building. Inside was a long stretch of red and gold carpet, with a counter at the end run by one male and one female staff members. Instead of ordering food, which seemed to be a buffet of some sorts, I headed back out to the main square by the building complex, and called Nat, who didn't pick up.

I headed to a supermarket called Asda, to pick up an insulin shot for my dog (or perhaps the boar?), which began a stressful journey to safely deliver the exposed and delicate syringe, I saw the exact same bird's eye view from earlier, and then found myself in a classroom when it faded. I noticed Tony, a famous advertiser from a Chinese company named LC Sign, getting bullied by a nerd named Matt, who was a classmate of mine alongside Tom many years ago. Matt had said something that really upset Tony, who was now flailing and on the verge of tears. After seeing this, I approached Matt from behind and pushed him down to his chair, and then furiously threatened to rip his head off. He didn't seem to acknowledge my presence, so I left the classroom and landed back at the main square by the beach. I got on to a bike and continued my stressful quest to deliver the exposed syringe, which seemed to be located at the buffet from earlier. I cycled down the long avenue, across the red carpet and dismounted at the counter where the same two staff members began to get agitated that I wasn't buying anything. The female worker, who was fairly young and wearing glasses, demanded that I pay £100 for wasting time. The male worker, who was a little older, stepped in to defend me and dismiss the accusations.

I left the buffet for a second time, and found myself in the square yet again. This time, Nat actually responded to me and I met up with her outside the science block of my old school, where I showed her a video that broke down the design of the building my apartment was located in. It showed a long, narrow strip of rooms connected, and mine was at the end. The male narrator informed us that my room was called "Warren House", and a 3D render of the narrow strip of rooms was animated as it broke it down to explain. The dream then ended with a third and final bird's eye view of the area, exactly the same as the prior two

Considering how terrible my recall situation has been, this was a very solid entry for once. I'm very happy with how many details I remember, even 7 hours after scribbling the notes. I'm excited to see what my dreams are like tomorrow morning

Recurring elements:
-Nat, second time she has been featured
-School, marking the fourth dream out of five this week
-Family, home. This would be the third(?) dream out of five
-Travel, the second dream travelling with Nat in particular

Notes:
-Slept at 2am, woke up at 10am
-Recall was initially a challenge, but managed to piece together a lot in 30 minutes
-I wouldn't say the dreams were vivid, despite good recall

This morning was my biggest challenge since starting my new dream journal. The construction outside continues to be as loud as possible at the worst possible time. I could only recall 3 small fragments in half an hour of trying to relax during the barrage of saws outside, and then an important parcel arrived which forced me out of bed to sign for it...

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I believe the earliest fragment, and last to recall, was me in a house at night, but that's it. I also recall visiting my sister and her partner in their house, to help them fix the wifi. For some reason, I had a pod of some black liquid that I accidentally spilled on the couch, but was told it doesn't matter. Fast forward a short amount of time, I was in my own house, upstairs, working in the loft. My sister was driving a small crane, carrying large logs and planks up the stairs for me to put inside the loft and create a bridge. The rest is unfortunately lost

Again, this is worst day so far, with each day seemingly getting worse as far as recall goes. Hopefully the construction stops soon, so that I have enough time and focus to pick up more fragments and make something worthwhile out of them. Since my recall hasn't been great, I've decided to write down everything, no matter how uninteresting, or how small. Speaking of small, I have an image in my head of a blue sky and a large building, but it feels more like deja vu than a dream fragment. I am confident that the night time house was part of a dream, but this image could not be

Recurring dream elements:
-Family, home

Notes:
-Slept at 1:40am, woke up at 9:30am and recalled until 10am. 7 hours is typically the best amount of sleep for me
-Tried mantras, but not for long enough as I got distracted before falling asleep suddenly. Will continue to try and form a good habit
-I typed up yesterday's dream 12 hours after writing the notes, hoping it would impact me positively, but this morning was so bad that it's hard to know if it did anything

I enjoyed this dream a lot, but it hurt.

I was at a hotel, which was built on the side of a small hill. It looked really nice, probably 5 stars too. I sat at a table (outside) with someone, and I was playing Pokemon. I somehow had control over the weather, so I made it rain. It's a shame that I wasn't lucid during this dream, I think I almost got lucid at this point. I stopped playing and went out to the courtyard in front of the hotel and started to play music. There was a band playing metal in a playground nearby so I joined. I then left after a song and saw my sister. She offered me a lift back to my house. I sat on the front of her motorbike, which was stupid and dangerous. We were going really fast down a road, listening to metal music. Suddenly the front wheel collapsed and we started to lose control. Within seconds, the bike stopped and I flew off the handlebars at a high speed. I must have flew at least 10 meters from the bike, then I hit the sidewalk, which felt real and painful. I woke up a second after.

Hope you enjoyed.

Was pretty cool to find some of my old games.

I was at my dad's house, sat on the bottom stairs. My sister came in and told me we were going somewhere, so i followed her out of the house. We walked down a path and reached a bus station, where the bus was just waiting for us. Perfect timing! Although I had no money to get on, so I walked off in rage. I got back to my dad's house, but the inside was my grandma's house instead. I went upstairs and found a room. Inside the room was lego all over the floor and a couple of old gameboy games. I picked up the games and had a nergasm.

Pretty odd...mixed feelings.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

This is one of them "OH I HAVE AN AWESOME ITEM!" -wake up- "Oh..." type of dreams.

I was in school, lurking about in the corridors, with some friends. Can't quite remember who they were though. I was holding a really cool katana, with a red handle. The blade was slightly serrated, making it look even more awesome, it was really light and easy to handle too. I looked around and saw this guy run out from the corner of the corridor. He looked like he was a zombie or something. For some reason, I looked at him ready to attack, but put my sword away and said that he wasn't a zombie. He just stood there staring at the wall from this point on. I turned back around an walked into one of the classrooms, only to see Lynn Thompson from cold steel knives. It was cool how I had a sword on me at the time. He was sat behind a table full of cold steel weapons like axes, swords, knives, machetes. I showed him my weapon, he said nothing, I said nothing and I just turned away and spoke to myself. Nice one! I turned back around and noticed that Lynn was actually a DJ, playing death metal. Everyone on the dance floor was playing invisible instruments in time to the song. I believe the song was "The Absence - Wartorn". I then walked over to my family, seeing people at tables eating as if it was a restaurant and a metal club. I started playing an invisible guitar, making myself look like a complete dick. I guess it was okay because everyone (about 30 people) were doing it too. I went outside and started running around the building with my sword. It seemed like I was chasing a group of nuns D:. After running around a few times, I stopped at the entrance and inside was a restaurant, with people sat mainly outside. This old lady asked me to change her food order. It was a spicy dish, but she didn't want it spicy . I walked into the building and then the dream started to fade.

It was very vivid but made no sense and was a bitch to recall.

September has been great for dreams so far! I hope to do the TotM challanges soon.

I was at home with my mum. We were in the living room talking about how a ghost was in someone's house. I kept having, what seemed like, premonitions of someone being killed by a ghost. The ghost was a small girl, with black hair. She kept throwing these two people out of a window on the second floor. My mum went into the porch and i saw some gladius swords in the kitchen. They ranged in sizes. I picked them all up only to be frustrated. They were made of stainless steel, the material used to make spoons and stuff. I carried them over to the dinner table in the living room. I pulled the plastic wrapper from one of the swords (the biggest one, obviously) and noticed a note fall out. I read the notes and it was related to the ghost visions. I had another premonition of a man being thrown out the window by a girl. These swords must be cursed or something. I ignored the note and walked outside, only to see something weird. The sky was blood red, there were dark bushes everywhere and a big stone cave. A typical creepypasta setting. I read another note, but ignored it without a vision. My house had disappeared behind me and I walked towards the cave. I still had the big gladius with me, so I felt safe to go in. The dungeon was full of red and black rocks. There was also a red mist lingering in the air, making it feel scary and dangerous. To the left, not that far into the cave, was a big stone tablet. The tablet had a picture of an octopus on it. My dream guide came out and told me that I needed to kill this octopus with an electric spell, located at the end of the cave. Luckily, the cave wasn't that big, so I could walk to the end in minutes. I reached the end and this fairy popped out and gave me a scroll. I suddenly knew how to use the spell my dream guide told me to use. I headed back to the tablet and used the spell. In seconds, I was suddenly a character from final fantasy, along with 3 other people. We were fighting the octopus tablet, in a final fantasy battle style. The octopus hit us with a huge water blast and our health bars hit 1. We were all on the floor, losing hope as we were almost dead. Suddenly, I was in first person, on my side on the floor. I was looking at the cave entrance, losing vision slowly. I noticed that the cave entrance was shrouded in a thick white fog. I saw a man walk through the cave and I felt relieved, we were saved! I woke up shortly after.

Very odd and scary . I'm on a streak with the fantasy dreams, which happen to be the best dreams. All of them are vivid and they feel so real.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

Probably my favourite non-lucid dream ever. It felt so real and I was stunned by the dreamscape.

I started in a car, with my dad. We drove into this village which had a medieval theme to it. There were lanterns, knights, peasants and everything you would expect to be in a medieval village. There was a castle over to the left, and then houses everywhere else. We got out of the car and walked into the castle. The castle was made out of gold on the inside, it wasn't very big but it looked nice and bright. The king was sat in his golden throne over in the distance. We walked over to him, and he asked me to do something. I can't remember what he said exactly but he mentioned a necromancer in the woods. I assumed that he meant for me to find this necromancer, so I set out to the forest located just outside the village. At this point, I was by myself. I walked past the car and then into the forest nearby. The village kind of reminded me of Skyrim a little, because of the housing styles and the paths. I finally reached the forest, it was almost completely blackened from the darkness. I felt a little scared, but in the distance were two figures. An old lady and my dream guide - the blue haired girl. They started walking away from me slowly, so I ran towards them to keep up. I managed to get closer and I suddenly realized that the old lady was the necromancer. The one that the king was on about earlier. They didn't say anything to me, they just pointed in the direction we were meant to go. Just ahead was a stone arc and a dirt path leading upwards to somewhere. I walked under the arc and up the hill, only to find the best thing ever. We came out on top of a small hill. It was quite high up, but it didn't have much space to move around on. From the hill, you could see over the village and out across the forest. That wasn't the best part though, the sky was. It was a mixture of purple and dark blue, making it a really nice color. There were four HUGE moons, which seemed really close to us. One of the moons had a white ring around it, making it the biggest and the most beautiful. I can't describe how amazing the whole place looked. The necromancer tried talking to me, but I was just stunned by the sky and how nice it was. I guess the atmosphere didn't help me focus on what was being said, that felt really cool too. I finally snapped out of it, and listened to the old lady. She told me to examine these statues that were at the front of the hill top. I walked over to them, probably about three meters distance, and looked at them. There were four small figures, they looked like mini totem poles and behind them were four large stone pillars. It was like a tribe had set something up here. I then led on my stomach next to the artifacts and looked out at the village. The lanterns made it lit up so we could see what was going on there. More cars were turning up through the gate and some knights were having a sword fight right next to a car. One of the knights flipped the other one over, causing him to dent the car next to them. The necromancer just smiled at me, like old woman in fairy tales do. I didn't see my dream guide from this point on, but I assume she was stood behind me, guarding us and the hill's slope.

Thanks for reading !

I think there were mysteries in this dream. There were four artifacts next to each other and four moons in the sky next to each other. Thinking about it now, they may have had something to do with each other. I'm probably going to make this my dream spot, where me, my dream guide and the necromancer will stay. We can discuss things and study the moons and artifacts.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I felt really weird at one point in this dream.

I was in the car park located outside the hospital I go to. I saw a dark alleyway going down to somewhere, with lots of purple door-shaped portals. I walked through one of the portals and found a machine. I wasn't sure what it was, so I left it and headed back to the alleyway. I walked through another portal and started to play a game. I can't recall everything, but at the end of it, everyone died on a mountain. I then automatically teleported back to the alleyway. I went back to the machine and there were 2 people there. I climbed under the machine and it started spinning really fast. I couldn't stand up because I would get killed, so I had to reverse slowly. I woke up shortly after.

And that's that. Very odd.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

Not very well recalled, but I got something down, at least.

I was walking through, what looked like, a secret lab or something. There were guards holding lasers everywhere in the corridors. I slipped past 3 guards and then reached another corridor. I found a door, with water currents pouring out. I stepped on a current and went flying back to the start of the lab. There was a basketball coach, a net and some people. The first one to get the ball in the net gets to go through a door. I went to throw the ball, but the currents were taking me off my feet. I managed to get past the the currents and score the ball in the net. The door opened and I went through. I was with my dad and his girlfriend at this point. I then started to fight a man with my dad, who looked like he was guarding another door. After beating him up, we all went through the door and sat down at a table in a restaurant. We waited at the table for a while, then a guy came and put some food on the table.

That's all for this dream. Not very interesting.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

It's great to end August with a Lucid Dream, although it wasn't the best. Still good to have one!

I started off, non-lucid in a car park. It seemed like the car park outside the hospital, but the hospital was actually a night club. There was a group of people going inside the door. It was very dark, so the door was the only light source for where I was. I was with two of my friends and this old Indian lady. Apparently I had spoken to her in a disrespectful way, although I never said anything. Naturally, I ran away at a fast pace. The woman sent her daughter to chase after me. I ran in and out of the cars, until I reached, what looked like, and pub. I hid behind a chair, and gazed out across an ocean (which isn't even near my house...). There were other chairs, which looked like the metal ones that are placed outside of a cafe or something. It only took a few seconds before the girl noticed me, then proceeded to chase me again. I got up and ran to the right, towards the ocean. I ended up at my street, but it was day time and I couldn't see the girl. I ran to the end of the street then turned right, into a dead end street. I nose plugged and it worked a little. Not that well, but it got me lucid. I was not completely aware that I was dreaming, but I looked around for things that should not be here. I turned around, expecting to see the girl, but instead I saw a woman watering a tree. The tree started to fall, causing me to say "See, that's not normal, I must be dreaming...". I didn't even flinch, but it hit the floor really hard, about 2-3 meters away from me. I felt the dream fade into grey and I woke up.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

This was an okay Lucid. I managed to have a little control over the dreamscape. My nose plug worked incredibly well, too.

I started off lucid, right as the dream appeared. It felt really weird, the dream faded in from a grey background with silver flying patterns. As the dreamscape "loaded" I was looking down at the floor. I was in my house on the upper floor outside my bathroom. I pinched my nose, not expecting anything, then suddenly...I could breathe! It was very shocking because I did not expect a huge gust of air to blow out of my nose. I then looked around, then at my sister's bedroom. I noticed the window was wide open, so I thought about jumping out and flying. As I walked over to the window, I stabilized and reality checked again, just to keep myself from waking up. I decided not to jump out of the window, instead, I jumped up into the sky, straight through the ceiling not expecting anything to change. As I exited the roof, I saw a HUGE city just like London at it's old times. The buildings were brown, the sky was almost dark, the stars were appearing and the sun was setting. The sun was not very big though, neither was the orange glow around it. I still thought it looked nice though. On my way back down to the houses, I quickly teleported to a road, in the daylight. I thought about flying there. I think it was the hospital car park that I was in, but it had a road going through it. I jumped into the air, not very high, only about 2 meters. The dream faded quickly as I fell back down.

It was quite long - longer than most of my lucids already. It was great that I got lucid right at the start as well.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

A very scary dream, causing me to wake up during the night.

I started off in school, talking to my friend Tom about his birthday party. I was unsure about going there, because of my lack of social skills. I decide to go anyway. I was then on a bus, driving there. I hate buses the most, especially going by myself. I remember not having a clue where I was, nor when the party was or where it was located. The bus stopped, I panicked, then got off the bus with everyone else. I got off and saw my sister, so we walked up a road together. At the end of the road, was a mansion. There were lots of people crowded around. Inside the window of part of the mansion, there was a VERY creepy statue. It was like a little boy, covered in bandages. It was just staring at us. I then teleported to a room, with my grandma and sister. They were watching TV while I explained something to them. I said "If the nightmare monster comes, I can get lucid and shoot it with a fireball!" I put my hands together and they glowed. I opened my hands before a fireball could charge up. I then watched TV with them, but the screen of the TV was basically my vision. It was like a spectator mode dream. There was a woman lying in bed. She turned over to her right side, only to be greeted by the scariest fucker I have seen. It was led in her bed just staring at her while she screamed. It had dark muddy skin, wide eyes, weird muddy hair and blood around it's mouth and on it's teeth. It laughed at her and then said "The reincarnation has arrived!" I woke up in fright and shock.

I struggled to get back to sleep after that .
