Dream 1: Board Games at a Party I'm playing chess at someone's house party it seems, I'm in a room where there are only a few people talking on a sofa behind me. I get up and see a teacher of mine, he is a fairly simple kind of guy. He asks me if I play a lot of chess and I say yes, and I also occasionally play the board game Go. He asks me what the game is and I try to describe the rules. As I describe the whole idea of surrounding, he mentions that he feel like he can already play the game, as if the rules transcend human concepts. I think that's pretty insightful. He proceeds to drink a glass of water only using one half of his mouth. I mention that there's a girl from a rough neighborhood here at the party and I hope to be able to show her how to play the game. I try to talk about her in a way that does not sound condescending. Dream 2: A Bomb and a Weird Sex Ritual? I'm on a pier like in LA, the sun is just about to start setting. Ben Stiller is in a role trying to get Jonah Hill to go to prison to save his girlfriend. They are both dressed in ridiculous 80's clothes, Jonah Hill has a crazy mullet and a handlebar mustache. It feels like a movie. Ben Stiller is a cop and that's why he can't go to jail himself. Jonah Hill says no one will believe that he would go to jail, especially if his friend was the one to lock him up. I walk past them to the pier. A bomb goes off, there is pandemonium. I look around, I see the destroyed target, a trailer that was on the pier. I go under it and find the terrorist who were responsible. Now they have to go into hiding, a young women asks if she can join them, she is young and easily persuaded. I'm in a dark, church-like place. A middle-aged woman is having sex, she is lying on the edge of a table. I see something vague, I'm not sure if it's that I can't remember or if it was just hard to make out. I see a line of creatures, the size of fingernails(were they actually fingernails?!?!). They have something to do with the sex.
I leap out of bed. I am in my Lucid City apartment. Yes! I made it! I look at my bed. It looks very plain. I am standing on a thick soft rug, barefooted. I feel something on my shoulder. It's WinterFae, my wife. She has morphed into a tiny fairie, and is riding on me. I see my Dream Shrine in one corner that looks like the one in my room in BanYanLand on the Moon with a large mirror. In another corner I see my computer terminal which looks like a plain white cylinder about four feet high with a sloped top. I press a red glowing button on the top. The cylinder projects holograms in front of me on to a mist which spews out the top. I see a holographic screen, and a keyboard. I hit: A I, then "enter." My AI hologram character appears. He is about a foot and a half foot tall, and looks like an American Prohibition Era gangster from New York. His is a glowing greenish color. "Yo, what's up? Don't tell, don't ask. My name is Big Joey. Welcome to the BJOS, Big Joey Operating System." "Cool. You're a gangster. Can I upload you into my brain for my HUD?" "Whoah, easy there pal, I don't know what kinda crazy viruses you may have there in that noodle of yours, Catface." "Okay... well, I need an HUD." "Done!" An HUD pops up in my vision. It says, "Welcome to Lucid City Net Portal!" then the words fade, and a circle appears in the upper right hand corner that says, "you are dreaming" on it. A crosshairs appears in the center. "Yes I did it!" "Good job, Sweetheart!" WinterFae says.
Morning of October 16, 2015. Friday. In my dream, my wife Zsuzsanna and I are living back on Stadcor Street in Brisbane. Our family is mostly as it is now. For some reason, my wife’s younger brother George stops by and hangs around for a long time, becoming more and more annoying. Sonny is with him, but not as annoying. Zsuzsanna is also annoyed, mostly by George as well. (In real life, we have rarely seen him). There reaches a point where I seem to have had enough of his loud imposing nature and patronization and cause the blade of a steak knife (not the handle, just the blade) to fly through the air and lodge in his left shoulder (I am not lucid). Sonny, I do not mind at all. However, they soon leave together. From here, I go outside and have the familiar sense of being in control and making my dream at one level, though still not lucid in any way. As I watch the truck, I am also aware of a nearby cliff (although there are certainly no cliffs near the area in reality). I get the sense that he is going to turn and drive straight off the cliff and I feel a sense of pleasant expectation. My dream is very vivid at this point with realistic imagery, sound, and distance perception. Indeed, he turns, going faster, and drives straight off the cliff on purpose, and as he does, I sense a gasping from numerous people as the truck falls to the ground below. Somehow, I am then seeing a view from ground level near the foot of the cliff, where there is a river (as if I am standing on the water’s surface). The truck is supposedly now underwater. My wife’s younger sister Judy and numerous other people immediately rush into the knee-deep water (though unrealistically, the truck cannot be seen) from being on the sidewalks above just seconds previously (typical illogical dream shift). Judy is the closest to where the truck apparently hit and sank and it looks like she may try to find them or try to rescue them, but my dream starts to fade from here. Looking at this dream closely, it appears to be another variation of the waking process metaphor. Oddly, one of my last waking-metaphor dreams also involved George driving around mountains near cliffs, except that we were actual passengers in that case - though we went back to find our real sleeping selves; that is, our real physical bodies before any potential of him driving off a cliff. The river is the dreaming process (and there is also a light mist above it in this case, although misty rivers sometimes appear at the beginning of apex-lucidity dreams in addition to the pop culture association “Tomorrow Never Knows” by The Beatles) and although the water was getting lower (a sign of waking), an aspect of the dreamer (driver) could no longer be seen. The scene with the knife blade was already “cutting off” the connection of dreaming or dream communication (as I did not “have a handle” on my “imposing” unconscious state or potential lucidity - an oh-so-obvious dream play). I am not sure why George is sometimes seemingly a facet of my non-lucid dream-self lately (not that often, just every now and then - and assuming it is not a subtle telepathic link as with my wife). One of the only other consistent “drivers” as such has been my brother-in-law Bob. This is curious in that both people have very low intelligence in real life and in the case of Bob, he cannot read (though the ability to read certainly does not denote intelligence or intellect). This may be some sort of play on the non-lucid dream-self lacking critical thinking skills or clearer awareness, perhaps even relating to failed borderline lucidity or even “hidden” lucidity. Since childhood, I have found it curious how I have often been aware of a part of me making my dream as it unfolds, and yet not being lucid in any way. This is especially curious as I have not read about other people with such experiences or particular recall and is one of many reasons why I no longer believe that the so-called subconscious exists; only various levels of mind; within and external (and beyond) - as well as Universal Mind (or non-local mind). The final scene loosely relates to having just seen “The Red House” (from 1947) with regard to the last scene where Edward G. Robinson as Pete Morgan deliberately crashes and drives into the river under the ice house. Note also the play on “knife blade” and “shoulder blade”.
Non-dream Non-lucid Lucid I'm writing this post a bit late after waking up, so the details of my dreams are already quite vague Dream 1: Mafia I'm a member of the mafia. I don't feel like I'm a really high ranking member, just an ordinary guy. I'm loyal to my Don. I'm inside a building that belongs to us, so it's just us mafioso in there. It's the size of a public building, so pretty big. There's a high ranking guy coming to visit us. Perhaps a Don from another group. Me and another guy from our side have to come up with a plan for a specific purpose and present it to the high ranking guy. We have to make sure to impress him. There are glass doors which lead to a balcony, which somehow feels like it's still inside. Though I never looked down it also feels like it's pretty high up. The Don and the important guy are sitting on the balcony. Me and the other guy enter the balcony and walk to the right, where they are sitting. As we walk it dawns upon me that our plan severely lacks detail and that we'll have to wing it. I start thinking about proper etiquette. I wanted to just shake the important guy's hand, but in my mind's eye I see a dude kissing the hand while on one knee. Do I really have to do that? In the same building, on the same floor maybe (it's a pretty generic setting; walls with a very light colour and a light greenish hue, no furniture). In the middle of the enormous room there's a big opening. This is the same on all floors, so you can look down all the way until the ground floor. This way I can tell that we're quite a few floors up, though I don't know the exact floor level. A guy gets thrown down all the way. I'm not sure, but I think I fall down with him. There's a pool on the ground floor, exactly where the openings are. Please hit the pool. Please hit the pool! Nope. On the ground next to it. Still in the same building. A shoot out is taking place. I have an assault rifle, or a similarly big gun. At first I take cover underneath a desk in a cubicle while around me at least 2 people are shooting; 1 from my left, 1 from my right. I say people but they are not. I'm not sure what I should call them. Cartoonish entities. Eventually I myself am in the middle of it. I point my gun at 'someone' and can see through my scope that my aim is good. I'm shooting without using my scope though. A bit later or earlier I'm shooting at someone without using a scope, maybe because my gun doesn't have one. I have a long barrel though and it seems to be bend slightly cause all my shots deviate. I read an article yesterday evening about Syrian refugees and the influence of the Turkish mafia. Dream 2: FA? I woke up around maybe 2 in the morning for no apparent reason. After that I could hear noise coming from my housemate's room, which annoyed me as I tried to get back to sleep. I'm not even sure if that last part was a dream or not. I think not. Next thing I know I'm at Albert Heijn, a Dutch chain of supermarkets. I wake up (again?), thinking how silly it is that I was so annoyed by my housemate and not being able to fall asleep, while I was having a FA. Dream 3: Golf It's as if I'm looking at a commercial. One of my former highschool classmates is standing inside a clothing(?) store with a dark wooden floor. The kind that might still give you a splinter if you ran your fingers over it. He's starring in a commercial and they're shooting it right now. No surprise, he's a good looking guy. He gets asked to shoot a golfball at the mirror. I wonder if the owner of the shop is ok with this. Fragment: Isa I dreamt about a friend of mine, Isa. I'm not so sure what happened anymore. She has some stuff which may or may not be hers. At one point she makes haste to get away on her bicycle.
I am immediately recognize that I am lucid within a dream as I am browsing through a Walmart. I remind myself that whatever my expectations are that is what will manifest itself within the dream. So I decide to stay calm and know that this dream does not have to end sooner than it should. So I become mindful of my body and just slowly walk observing the environment enjoying myself. Then I end up in an outside area where people seem to be sitting at picnic tables socializing. I noticed a random dream character that appeared to look interesting so I approached the person and asked what is your name. The dream character responded my name is Arlene. Shortly afterwards the dream spontaneously shifted to me standing into what seemed a very sacred area full of beautiful flowers and other remarkable items surrounding me. I have in my hand a sacred text and as I'm reading this text I think wow this is compose so beautifully, I wonder how my mind is coming up with this. I think maybe I'm channeling this information from an outside source, you never know. Then as I'm reading this text a vision of a distant galaxy composed of beautiful pastel colors reveals itself is a Pure Land. I feel deeply inspired as if I can feel the good energy directing itself from the Pure Land directly towards me. Then I wake up.This dream was very beautiful. I also want to note that the text I was reading in the dream was written by master by the name of Lama Zopa.
This one is quick because the dream was destabilized pretty quickly once I became lucid. Anyways, I dreamt I was in whole foods and I thought "Why the fuck am I in here? All this shit is over-priced!" Then I realized it was a dream. It all turned a muddy brown and then I was awake.
I have had several "prophetic" dreams over the years, in which a similar situation I dreamed appears in waking life, or direct situational experiences that happen in my dreams then happen in my life a few days later. Some examples that I can remember: In Dream: Boss comes to me worried and upset because the til was off by $40. In reality: A couple weeks after, my boss comes to me freaking out because the til was off by $40 (Just for reference, I work at a music retail store) In Dream: Checking new oboe reed stock as it comes in, annoyed at my coworkers for not checking them in themselves, notice one of the few reeds I had ordered was "stripping" at the sides of the reed, making it a "bad oboe reed" In reality: A few days later, I get new oboe reed stock in and, checking them over, I notice one of the reeds was "stripping" in the exact manner that I was shown in my dream In one of my 'nightmare' dreams (Check my DJ): While getting out of a haunted house, very large, very hairy spiders surround the door frame of the house. In reality: A few days later, while baby sitting, I turn to lead the kids out the door and to the bus stop I notice their parents had put up Halloween decorations. One of the decorations was a string of plastic spiders hung around their door frame. The spiders were the same size, same color, and same "hairiness" as the spiders in my dream, except these ones were fake (obviously) Several instances (though I can't remember exactly) where I am told something or someone says something and that same word or phrase is said just days later in a similar situation with the same inflection and tone as in my dream. What are your takes on oneiromancy or dream divination? Are my examples "valid" examples of such things?
#473 - 11:30PM OK I've been super unmotivated to post my LD's. There are two that will never make it in here, but I have to get back into the habit. I'll keep it brief to save time. Someone that looked like Wurlman was doing a dream study in my house while I slept on the futon and I did a WILD. I felt energy that looked and somehow felt like a supernova burst from me and I had a typical OBE. I floated around my dark house a bit and then lost lucidity. I did another WILD and woke up back to the previous dream. We talked and I noted how extra dark the dream was. I wondered why that always happens. Wurlman was excited because he got some very interesting readings when I went supernova. I was surprised he saw that. When I woke up I felt thoroughly mind-fucked because I didn't realize there was several "layers" to the dream. NON LUCID I had a really long and vivid dream where I was on a cruise ship with my wife. My siblings and their spouses join us from another ship that I tracked on my phone. I was somehow able to snapchat their arrival with both cameras in order to catch the even from both perspectives. The curse ship had game shows that people could participate in and I was one of the lucky few. I had to go some challenge, but I kept getting lost and ending back into the main lobby and hallway. I see a sign that says "2 free pets". I go to take one token but this lady from work takes both and looks at me crazy. I am mad, but let her have it. I ask her what she got and I see her with a bowl full of something. She says it's Coconut Face. Confused and not really caring, I shrug and walk away. I realize I lost the game show challenge and join my wife in the audience. I have another dream where I am having anal sex with an unknown female coworker in men's room. I try to keep things as quiet as possible as I see feet in other stalls and the sound of flushing toilets. What a night! I had several other dreams that I woke up from but was too tired to record.
Instead of copying and pasting all of my dream journal entries from my former profile, I figured I would post a link to it (as long as it is still active, if you are an admin reading this, feel free to delete that profile as I no longer have any access to it) That profile has many of my former attempts to dream share, as well as lucid dreams I have not documented elsewhere. http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/hprib012/ enjoy!
Oh hey long time no dream post.. I've had so many memorable dreams I've wanted to record but been too lazy to record them. Now finally.. I "woke up" in my bedroom. I took a pill(that I had stopped taking in RL) and then started feeling extremely dizzy. I went into the bathroom and checked the mirror and saw bumps on my cheeks. I checked my body and it had spread all over. My whole body was red and covered in bumps. I realized that it was a rash from the pill that I took. I considered going to the hospital because it was so bad but figured it would clear up as soon as the med wore off. I went to the kitchen and let the dog out and noticed there was snow on the ground. "Already?!?" I thought(it's the middle of October) but I kinda liked it. I "woke up" in my bed again, and still felt kinda weird so I looked down at my hands. They were pretty normal but I just knew that I was dreaming. I went to the living room and tried to summon A. It wasn't working(I've tried to summon this person many times before) but then a pair of hands with latex gloves appeared in the corner. It was dark so I couldn't see who they belonged to. I "woke up" but was still dreaming. I decided to try to fall back asleep(I didn't realize that I actually still was asleep) and I kinda started spinning in circles, which brought me to my second lucid. In this dream within a dream, I already knew I was dreaming and didn't have to test it, so I got out of bed again and went back to the living room, which was dark and painted red. I focused on things to stabilize, like a label from a can, which helped. I tried again to summon A but had no luck, so I jumped in the air and started to fly. I was still in the house so I went outside and jumped again and flew(swam) up above the clounds. I started to come down but them decided to go even further up. I zoomed up and up, into space and throughout the universe, watching everything get smaller and smaller as some kind of majestic, movie-soundtrack-like music played. I saw galaxies and big planets in bright candy colors against the backdrop of cotten candy pink space. Afterwards, I retured back to Earth but was still above the clouds. I was going to try to go to a roller boogie next but woke up.
Non-dream Non-lucid Lucid How do I start? I don't recall any dreams from last night which is because I couldn't fall asleep after nearly achieving a WILD. I think I fell asleep originally around 12-1, then woke up around 4 because of my alarm. I was super tired but got up to pee, then I ate a banana and just sat around with the light on for a few minutes. I headed back to bed and started doing SSILD cycles. I got through them pretty, I was convinced that I'd probably have a lucid if I could fall asleep fast enough. Turns out I just ended up lying awake for another hour because I was too awake from doing the SSILD cycles. This happens sometimes. After a while I became aware of the hypnogogic imagery being really strong. It was like at first I was in a day dream just waiting for sleep to hurry up, and then it became really vivid. I think at first I noticed that I was looking at my room and realized it was impossible because my eyes were meant to be shut. I felt myself being drawn into a dream, which was really unexpected. I tried to let myself go with the flow but screwed up and got kicked back into wakefulness. I calmed myself and tried to summon up the experience again. This time it kind of game and then faded. One more time, I manage to summon an image of a map with some basic imagery and symbols on it, I feel myself hurtling towards it though. "Oh my god are you serious?" I feel like I'm falling REALLY fast, my stomach lurches intensely and I get shocked back to wakefulness. "F*ck". I couldn't get it back after that and fell to sleep normally after another hour I think.
It's been a few weeks since I've had a lucid dream (even longer since I've written about one). I remember being transported to the "future" which seemed to follow the ideas of the TV series Fringe, in the way that in this future there are advance humans that have the ability to read your mind, and try to control ordinary citizens with this ability. I remember being in the future with my boyfriend, and a friend of ours. We had gone to an old run down movie theater which apparently we had made long ago to be our "headquarters" for the resistance against these advance mind-reading humans. When I had walked inside, I had found everything to be falling apart and covered in dust. I had also found our faithful dog companion, and it looked like he had been living there for years, waiting for us to return. I had felt so bad for the dog, as it had looked like he had not been eating well for quite some time. I had decided to get a hold of some dog food to help nurture our friend back to health. All three of us had gotten into a car, where my friend had suggested that I drive. It was at this point that I became somewhat lucid because I had said to her "Are you sure? I'm not really great with driving cars, especially in dreams..." I had shown her the difficulty with driving while in a dream when I tried to stop the car outside a gas station, and had trouble getting the car to come to a complete stop. The car only stopped completely when I had focused my attention and "stopped" it with my mind. I walked into the gas station where I began picking out bags of dog food. It was then that a few of those mind reading humans came into the station, with their guards right behind them. I knew that they would be looking for us, or at least sense us to be suspicious, so while I was attempting to pay for the dog food, to combat the obvious mind reading, I began reciting musical scales in my head. I had to focus all of my will to think only about music, and not anything else to give me away. The gas station attendant had trouble running my credit card to pay for the dog food, and was obviously nervous about those who had just come in. He was so nervous he just let me have the dog food so that I could get out of there. I quickly left the store and found my friend, she was worried I had been caught. I told her I was fine and that we needed to all get on the next city bus to get away. I woke up.
Only remember bits and pieces of this dream… I was taking a load of laundry down into the basement of my former home, to find a door that lead to the actual washer and dryer (not like IRL). I was going to turn the nob on the door when I saw a HUGE spider had made a web all around the door frame, and had positioned itself right above the nob. If I had attempted to open the door, the spider would have bit me. This spider was very strange, long black legs, with a large body. However, the body was bright florescent red or pink, and it almost seemed to glow. I took a step back and realized that the spider had created a web all around, and it was probably best for me not to do laundry at that point. I backed up further into the basement only to find myself outside and my basket of laundry gone. It was this dramatic shift in location that allowed me to become lucid. I laughed when I realized I was dreaming (a common thing for me apparently). As I looked up to the sky I saw dark storm clouds brewing. I was not alone, outside with me on this grassy green, fenced in lawn, were a few kids and teenagers, a bit younger than me. I remember a brunette girl, and a couple of other kids. They were all concerned that the storm would rain on them while outside. I told them to watch me. I reached my hands up to the sky, and like wiping marker off a white board, I wiped away the dark clouds, revealing the blue sky and the shinning sun. They all cheered and started playing in the field again. I told them that I was going to just fly around a bit, and began lifting myself several feet off the ground. I flew over to the edge of the field to where the white picket fence was, and saw that there was a road beyond the field. I noticed a red haired animal trying to escape the field and it almost seemed like it wanted to jump into traffic. I had the feeling that this animal was connected to me, or belonged to me, so I feared for it’s safety. It was a very obscure animal, and the best way to describe it was that it was almost like my “pokemon” and I had to save it. As it tried to jump over the fence, I used my telekinesis abilities to grab it in mid air and pull it back to the field. I didn't understand why it wanted to go into the road so badly. But I made sure it was safe. The dream shifted and I lost lucidity for a moment, I was at work, selling someone a flute…I woke up.
Finally, after weeks of a dry spell, I was able to become lucid. It was me, and several other dream characters that I had not known personally. We were all trying to escape this factory/mall compound because one of the girls that was with us was being chased by the police. She was in the country illegally and the police were going to deport her, but for some reason we needed her here for some coming apocalypse (yep, for sure one of my dreams). I'm not sure what she could do to stop the disasters coming or what importance she had for the end of the world, all I knew was that she was needed. I hadn't been lucid until we came to the food court/back alley area of this "mall" and I realized the rediculousness of the dream setting. Once I became lucid, I imediately had the thought to try and jump to another's dream, but I either was distracted or chickened out, so I decided to manipulate the dream that was playing out before me. Once we all got to this food court area, the police rolled up in their cruisers and blocked us from escape. They were going to arrest the girl (black hair, darker skin complection), but me being me, I became lucid and decided to fly through the food court to get food. (I know, what the hell, right?). So, I flew around and grabbed a hot pretzel off one of the food carts, paying no mind to the angry employee I just stole from. I suddenly remembered the whole point of the dream was to protect this woman, and so I flew back to the police scene, to find that they had barely made any progress on actually arressting the girl. Before the police could grab her I pushed them all back behind their car with a sort of "force push" power. I pushed them back against this brick wall (that apparently lead to an alley leading out of the complex), and immediately put up an invisible energy sheild to protect us all from the police. The two officers began throwing what I think were granades at my force feild and I could hear the loud bannging of explosions when the granades came in contact with my sheild. I was amused that they thought they could break through with simple granades. Then, the two officers combined and morphed into this tall, green, crocodile like demon. This thing was pissed off, and began running head on into the sheild, making a more significant attempt of breaking through. I could feel that this thing was a bit stronger, so I used a good amount of my energy to push this thing back against the brick wall, and focused on sending a silent invisible blade at its neck, all while keeping the sheild up. The energy blade made contact with the creature, and I saw a thin line cut spread across its neck, until its head completly rolled off its sholders. Pleased, with what I did, I looked back at my party. I saw this older gentleman who was traveling with us (who strange enough, looked like Giles from BtVS), and saw his eyes grow wide. I looked back at the, now decapitated, creature to see three more crocodile demons sprout from its courpse. The Giles character shouted to me "cutting off its head won't do any good, you need a great amount of explosive force directly on its heart to make any difference." I smiled, looked back to him and replied, "how about the force of an atom bomb?" He laughed, "yes, I suppose that will do." My intention was to drop the shield and send a huge chi blast directly at the creatures' hearts. Unfortunately, I awoke before I could do such a thing....oh well, there is always tonight. *Spelling errors everywhere I know, go with it
