Dreamsphere (Return to the Chaos)

Dream 1: Lost Wallet
I am at a petrol station owned by Charlie and Frank from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. They are trying to find out who left a wallet behind at the counter. I try to help them, but soon Frank gets incredibly angry and accuses me of forgetting the wallet.

Dream 2: Louis C.K. and a Scaly Mutation
I am on an island, walking across a rickety old bridge with Louis C.K.. We are working out, and while he is doing push-ups I feel something growing on my head. I pull out what I think to be a hair, but turns out to be thick and scaly. Louis says it looks like the tip of a dinosaur’s tail.

Dream 3: McDonald's with Friends
I am at McDonald’s with my friends 'A' and 'E'. I am poking fun at myself for running into a former high school classmate and having him not recognise me.

Dream 4: Rooftops and the Cast of Seinfeld
I am running across rooftops chasing a balloon. I eventually capture it and look for a way to get down. I find a ladder mounted against a wall but it seems flimsy. The male cast of Seinfeld is on the ground and I ask Jerry to hold the ladder. Once I get down, we begin practicing our routine (we are all part of a comedy troupe).

Dream 5: Family Finds Religion on Holiday
I am at a motel with my family and we are just getting ready to leave. My brother 'C' tells me he has forgotten a few things in the room and he and I go back, however it turns out that he has left quite a lot. I fill my arms with what is mostly toys and go outside to find that the rest of my family is not there. When I eventually find them in the town church they say they have converted, and encourage me to give Chris’ toys away.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am talking to my brother "C" in his room and I notice he has a cool-looking blue Dragonite toy on his desk. I ask where he got it from and he tells me McDonalds. I then find myself at a McDonalds located on my uni campus grounds, waiting with "C" and my uni friend "M". I ask her what she is buying and she says a happy meal, though she wants me to help her finish it. I tell her that’s ok as I was planning to throw my own Happy Meal away once I got the Pokemon toy. We get our food and look for a seat, but are distracted when someone rushes towards us babbling excitedly about something he has written. He takes a seat at a table (we are now in an indoor corridor) and a crowd begins to form around him. They prevent me from being able to see what he has written, but when I notice my friend "GT" at the table he tells me to come over and stand on his shoulders. I run around to his side and smoothly jump on the back of his seat so that I can see the sheet of paper. It contains a one line scrawling of a formula of some sort. I then walk away but notice something cryptic on the walls, spelling the name of a friend of mine. I then look at the pages of a book mounted on a stand, and see four lines containing the jumbled letters of another friend. These cause me to become lucid. I then walk through the corridor, marvelling at how vivid everything is – even more so it seems than real life. I see a man with four arms sitting on a couch; he and everything else seem to be frozen in time. I then enter a room where a wrestling match appears to be taking place. I can hear the commentator shouting the name of one of the competitors, ‘Lustmord’.

I am sitting in a sandy swamp area with another man. He is a colleague of mine and we are in silent contemplation. A horrible incident occurred here a short while ago in which two small children were devoured by thousands of rats. The area has since dried up, rendering the landscape quite eerie. We turn to see a woman to our side. She looks at us and her heart drops, only now does she realise that what took place did so in the very place she sat. “I thought this would just be a quiet place to relax” she says apologetically. We both shake our heads, and I offer to walk the girl back. We cross the sandy dunes of the dried up swamp and I can sense the girl scanning the area and envisaging in her mind the events that transpired. She tells me she wants to walk faster. Eventually we get to a jeep. I ask if it’s hers and she answers yes. I climb in and we drive off. The girl is obviously quite shaken by the history of the area, and becomes visibly upset. I try to tell her it is okay and that she came by mistake but she has become rude in her guilt. “Oh it was okay? It was okay was it??” She becomes delirious and my efforts to reassure her are hopeless. I tell her to drop me off and that I will walk back.

I get off and find myself roaming a vast dessert filled with fascinatingly shaped mountains and rocks. As I explore further I see that these formations are a complex series of geometric patterns, manifested as sets of never-ending clusters within clusters. My view of the world shifts and I see that I am actually indoors. I am a tuxedo-wearing Bryan Cranston and I am in a huge room with walls lined by hundreds of large screens, all showing the same images of the sand formations. I am the creator and controller of this incredible room, however I am currently under a great deal of stress. The android I created to act as my assistant has left me, and I find that in my anger I am quickly losing my mind. I rampage through the area, exclaiming aloud my bewilderment that anyone would want to leave. I see my former assistant through a window, and become furious when I find that he is taunting me. I soon notice something though. With each movement I make, the images on the screens distort themselves in wonderful ways. This is a new development and I consider it to be an amazing one. I run around, throwing myself left and right, watching as the sand formations on the screen spiral in response to my every move. They retract when I lean towards them, and expand when I lean back. I fling myself into the air, swing on poles and run up the spiral staircase marvelling at the greatest visual experience I have ever witnessed. Soon the screens depict a vortex of colour, pulsating and vibrant. I lie on the ground, overwhelmed.

Woody Allen is filming his new movie, Zelig, yet is so neurotic and socially incompetent that he has hired me to assist him in the project. I am however a mirror image of Woody Allen, in both appearance and mentality. He is not yet a famous director and is living in a small stone brick house with an entrance that is so small you have to lie down and crawl through. During the filming process, I overhear him say that he would love to visit Paris and would film a movie there as an excuse to go. I begin to laugh as I know that in the future he admittedly directs Midnight in Paris for that reason.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am at my high school being chased by zombie creatures that resemble sinister versions of Edvard Munch's The Scream. While running, I somehow realise I am dreaming and turn to face the zombies. I power up to Super Saiyan, screaming at the top of my lungs "I'M LUCID NOW, BITCHES" And unfortunately, that's all I remember.

I am walking home from school and decide to take a new route. As I turn a corner, I see an enormous mutant dog coming out of an alley. I am completely terrified and climb up a large fence to avoid it, however I soon see it is on a leash. The owner approaches me and invites me to his house. I meet his family and see another huge mutant dog in a caged area. The family sits me down and gives me a sheet of paper with several questions on it, some of which don’t even make sense. All the questions are somehow related to a girl I had met earlier (in a previous dream) and aimed to determine if I would be an acceptable partner for her. It all seemed very sinister.

I am trapped in the Antarctic, the lower half of my body encased in a block of ice. Somehow I enlist the help of two penguins to help peck the ice until I am free. Eventually, I get my entire body out and continue my mission.

I reach a lake area abundant in cliffs and retrieve my hang-gliding equipment from my backpack. With the equipment in place, I prepare myself for a powerful gust of wind to lift me. I begin running, and at just the right time I jump, taking flight. I soar several metres above the ground, and the incredible winds keep me in the air for what seems to be a miraculous amount of time. I glide to the cliffs and stop to look at my surroundings, only to take off immediately after towards and across the small lake. As I am gliding, I notice two women on the ground. I manoeuvre my way towards them and stop right at their side.

The women are dressed in short brown dresses, and I wonder how it is that they are able to handle the cold (I am quickly reminded of a man who was able to increase his body temperature through meditation, and think that the women must do the same). They tell me they are part of a tribe that is currently situated across the hills, and they were sent to investigate the large flying animal they saw above the lake. Relieved that what they thought to be some kind of monster is only me, they invite me to their tribe to eat with them.

My brother 'G' has somehow gained the ability to swap bodies with me, and he does it without my will. There is someone after G, a man with a face like a bundle of straw, and G uses his ability to hide from him, despite knowing that the man will then attack me if he sees me. At one point, G and one of his friends run to tell me the man is coming, and G warns me that he will now swap our bodies. He does, and he and his friend run into a room and hide. I follow, and try to hide myself behind the door. Soon the Straw Face man enters. He sees me and lunges at me, but I manage to grab a chair beside me and begin pummeling him with it.

The setting is my high school, and there is an event taking place at night for Halloween. The boys have all engaged in a competition while donning Halloween costumes. The costumes however are known to take control of the person wearing them, transforming them into insane wild men, and the competition has become a death match. We roam the school grounds and fight the people in other teams, some of which have guns. I go to a room and see a friend of mine being chased by two figures who I notice to be almost completely taken over by the costumes. I am able to hide from them but when my friend runs towards me, the two see and begin chasing me too. I escape, but soon find that my mask is beginning to disintegrate along with the skin off my face. I look around and see the same thing happening to others.

I had at least 6 dreams last night, 5 of which I remember somewhat clearly.

Dream 1: Louis C.K.
I have gone to a theatre to watch Louis C.K. perform his stand-up comedy. I take my seat yet find that I am unable to see anything as, unlike a normal theatre, the rows of seats descend from the front row to the back. Most others are visibly annoyed and they begin leaving, some while directing their anger at Louis C.K.. I follow the crowd and find myself in the theatre lobby, where three guys approach me. According to them we have met before, but I only vaguely remember them. Later on, I discover that Louis C.K. is working as an undercover government operative.

Dream 2: At University
I am at university and while waiting for an elevator I notice two guys I went to high school with, 'P' and 'G'. I try to avoid them but they spot and approach me. They start up a conversation with me, but without looking at me, as if they are talking about me behind my back yet right in front of me.

Dream 3: Stockholm Syndrome?
I am walking down the street when I notice two girls being attacked by two men as they are entering their house. Someone yells at me to run for help and I do so, but I quickly turn back as I think I'd be able to do something myself. As I turn the corner I see, to my surprise, the girls sitting with their attackers and giggling. The two men have their arms around them and are passing around a marijuana joint.

Dream 4: Slow Motion
I am walking up the steps to my house. I look down at my feet and notice that each movement I make happens in slow motion (or I am perceiving it that way). For some reason I believe that I have, at that moment, broken through to some higher plane of consciousness.

Dream 5: Ball Games
A council official has come to inspect my family's house for some reason that I am unaware of. With him he has brought two porn stars, whom I am required to play a ball game with. I have to keep a yellow ball away from them, and to distract me they dance seductively and undress.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am at a cafe, having just paid for my beverage. The lady at the counter gives me my change, which consists of several notes and coins, making me realise that I must have paid with a large amount of money. I remember that I do not have any money in real life though and become lucid. Pretty much all I remember from this point is sitting myself down, making a lady appear and just talking to her.

I am lying on the couch in the outside room, reading, when I hear my dad say something along the lines of "come eat, little rabbit." I become angry, as my pet dwarf rabbit passed away a few weeks ago and I assume my dad to be purposely trying to upset me. As I get up though, I see through the glass door a rabbit that resembles my deceased pet. I walk outside and see there are at least six tiny dwarf rabbits scurrying about the backyard. Half of them are white with brown spots, while the others have the grey fur that my pet had. I am overcome with joy as I realise that she must have bred with another rabbit and given birth before she died. I look around to see the rabbits nibbling on the grass, one is trying to dig a hole in the soil, and another one comes up to me. This one is a lot furrier than the rest, and I think to myself that it looks as though it has a fluffy hair-do.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am on a cruise liner At one point, myself and another person decide to take one of the sail boats that are on board the ship and set off with it. The cruise liner has some sort of bumpy ramp at the rear that we use get it into the ocean. We make it off the larger boat, but I somehow fall off and wind up in the water. As I'm swimming back towards our sail boat, I notice that my friend is actually at the helm of the cruise liner, and sailing further and further away is the sail boat. While my friend is shouting that we'll never catch up to it and that we'll be stranded at sea, it occurs to me that the boats have switched and this triggers a lucid state. I decide to try the nose plug technique to confirm and as I do I plunge myself backwards into the water (out of habit I guess as I used to hold my nose before dunking my body underwater at pools). I also try looking at my hands which turn out to be very distorted and I am also weirdly unable to face my palms towards me. I hear my friend shouting that we'll be attacked by sharks, and as I look back at him I realise I must have corrected the dream's mistake and we once again have possession of the sail boat. Right about now I'm not really worrying about the sharks but I think I (for some reason) made one appear. At this stage, I begin waking up due to the outside noise. I tried not to stir but I was unable to stay in the dream.

Notes: was lying down on the couch for about half an hour, on my back, half-asleep and listening to this. Turned it off at about 12:30pm and drifted to sleep.

I am running down the middle of a road with a friend. We reach a familiar street and both slow down, my friend walking on the right side of the road while I trail a bit behind on the left. As I am walking, I notice a dog with the facial features of a rooster approaching me, looking as if it is ready to attack. I signal to my friend for help but he is too far ahead and does not see. Scared, I half climb on top of a parked car for safety while readying myself to kick the animal if I need to. It edges itself closer and looks ready to leap towards me when I hear a strange alien-like screech. I turn to see that the sound has come from my friend, who is apparently mimicking the cry of the animal in order to scare it away. It works and the animal flees.

Dream 1: Prison Escape

I am a prisoner who has just escaped with my inmate in a massive prison-wide breakout. We are driving a stolen 4-wheel drive and are in the parking lot of a shopping centre, when we notice one of the several police cars dispatched to capture the prisoners. My friend makes a sharp turn which, to my amazement, doesn't attract the attention of the officer. We decide to get rid of the 4-wheel drive and find a motorcycle to hotwire. Still in the parking lot, we get to a set of stairs and, after parking the motorcycle, we run up them. Eventually, we get to a room where two men who I notice to be Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are arguing. Will Smith, upon seeing our prison jumpsuits, draws his gun and begins firing at us. I draw my gun (which I don't know how I acquired) and fire three shots which miss and one shot which finds Will Smiths temple. I turn to my left and find that my friend has been shot. I grab him by the leg and drag him away, all the while firing at Martin Lawrence.

Dream 2: Street Comic

The panels of a epic comic book have been drawn on the street pavement stretching across several suburbs. People I meet say it is the best comic ever published, and I decide to run from street to street in order to read it. I am sprinting across the footpath, taking in the comic as I go, when I notice a male my age sprinting to my right. I get to a certain point on the street, specifically on a panel that is heavy on text, and stop, before deciding to run in the opposite direction.
