All DJ Entries

I am in my driveway and, after putting a pug in the back of a truck, I go into the garage and see a blond girl, about 9 or 10, who appears to be trying to stargaze in our garage.

Later, I am in front of a single story house, where a boy lives. The dream implies he is the girl's brother, despite the fact they are never seen together.
The boy is "big boned", and looks to be 11.

Apparently, this boy is a jerk (for reasons I can't remember) and a bunch of people decide to hire another boy to impersonate him and ruin his rep. The boy chosen for the job is a very thin boy with round glasses. He looks very nerdy, and has an expansive knowledge of either model airplanes or screwdrivers (can't remember which). He seems to be the same age as the bigger boy, even though he is much smaller.

The rest of the dream is just me on YouTube, watching a movie and trying to find a part of an episode of a TV show.

08/30/13 A DEILD after my last DJ post. I never made it back to a good stable dream body. I was stuck observing my dreams. I watched a small sequence of normal dreams, and decided not to fight it. I want to work on observing more. At some point the dream was all about cocaine dealers. I was unsure why that should be in my dream. TV perhaps? I was able to change the'camera' angle and zoom in on the bags of cocaine. I tried to alter the scene despite my intent to just observe.
This LD is hardly worth recording. I only have entered it because I was suddenlly aware that something was wrong. How long had I been observing 20 minutes or so??? No, that could not be, because my snaooze alarm should have woke me. I tried to relax and assure myself mt sense of time was distorted. Just relax and passivelly observe until the snooze goes off.... NO! Something is wrong! Fine,,, check itout, you will wake your self up and find out you are being silly.
I forced myself awake, and sure enough, my stupid i-phone alarm had shut off rather than snooze. I could have been late for work! Hmmm, interesting enough to record, I suppose. Dur~20 min.

08/30/13 DEILD from last DJ entry. I shook my phone for snooze. I kept still and pictured the hotel room and my wife. I was quickly back in the dream.
I decided that I should attempt another Advanced Task as my lucidity was very high and the graphics were still good. I took my wife's hand and exited the room into a hall way. I told her we were going to attempt another task. "What is it?",,, "We must travel to 3 mystical places, Stone Henge, The Pyramids, and oh say Easter Island or something.",,, "Why not just create those places around you?",,, "just for the challenge, I want to travel to them."
We were out in a casino looking part of a hotel now. I decided too much travel would never fit into the 15 minutes I had. I told my wife, "lucky that this hotel is also an airport." And it suddenly was. "There is the gate to Stone Henge, we are also lucky this airport takes you quickly to each place with some form of magic."
We entered the gate and went down a short hall. We got on some sort of lift. I tried to think about Stone Henge. An image formed of one of the stone arch ways. Ahe said, "There it is, that is Syone Henge." I was not impressed.
We were still on a lift looking into a dimensional gate or something that showed just the one pillar. I said, "No, we still need to get there and have the whole thing look kind of real." The lift itself and everything around it was very egyptian looking, so she said, "I think we are already inside a pyramid, if we just go outside we will have accomplished one of the goals." My reply, "No, I have dreamt myself to pyramids a few times, I need to stay focused on getting itno that gate and seeing Stone Henge."
At that point my wife almost fell off the lift. I gave up on traveling for the moment and helped her back onto the lift. My alarm was going off again. I woke up. I shook it to attempt another DIELD. It worked (see next DJ entry), but was far from impressive. Dur exactlly 15 minutes.

A man talking about an opponent: "He had fallen on the might of (something), and he himself had fallen back and disappeared." The 'he' in question is described to me as "one of Fate's creatures," Fate being our enemy, but this guy is on a completely different level from those we've been fighting up until now. The man speaking is trying to get through to me just how serious a threat this guy is. He says this guy participated in "sanguinary" interstellar wars (that's the second time this month I've had dreams emphasize war with blood-related adjectives; seems redundant, but the dream seems to think that changes the meaning significantly), and in "civilized eras" he attached himself to prison transports, weapons transports, and managed to gain influence through this.

(Woke up, back to sleep.)

The queen of this country is always seen accompanied by three men attending her in robes, one red, one blue, one gold, all intricately embroidered in white, and I worked hard to become one of those men, but now that I've gained the position of the blue, I just feel chained down. Once we leave the Queen's presence, we're instructed by an aide to remove the robes, and with them the role we played. Such a role exists only in the Queen's presence, and it seems to me as if she exists in her own bubble, reality shifting with her presence or absence, so that she never touches the real world.

Fragments:

My roommate's watching a surreal horror movie called Repo Man starring Nic Cage and Meg Ryan. I comment that I had a dream about those two starring in a vampire movie the other night. (Which is true, I did.) I wanted to watch something else, though.

Something about David Bowie and outer space.

I'm saying "Where is all this going?" and in response the scene changes to show me and the people I'd been talking to sailing off into the sunset on a yacht.

Trying to read a document with errors in the font. When I go to change the font, I scroll past a font called 'lucid dreaming.'

08/30/13 This is a long sequence of DILD experiences, and I think perhaps at least 3 seperate DILDs were involved. I am at work and have no time to DJ, so I will just list a few funny highlights, until I get to the 'Advanced Task' parts.

-at a party. Someone says 'snorting gun powder will put hair on your chest.' BANG from out side. Crowd goes and Shawn has done it. Looks like cartoon powder burns (coyote) and he is strong and covered with body hair. The Scotts at the party love it.

-At same party. I am naked except for an apron. Hot woman sitting on my lap, and one jokingly peaking under apron.

-Beavers/gophers cause land slides to get revenge. Watch passive as this is narrated.

-cartoon sequence were everything looked kind of like I was in a Simpson's episode. I sang a song about how the world had become a cartoon dream.

-flashing back and forth between my real life hotel room and a dream hotel. In one case a spy was in the room saying he had drugged me. I was lucid, so I just casually had a fun fight scene. Me vs. spies.

That is enough of the highlights from a long LD/ Lds leading up to the Advanced Task portion....

At some point perhaps 20-40 minutes into my LDing, after all the stuff above, I was feeling very, very lucid and everything was in high def. I thought about goals or tasks. The TOTM stuff for Sept. was not out yet, and I turned to my thread on 'Advanced Tasks." I wanted to try the crystal growing task Melanie had suggested. I also had previously decided to make it harder, by growing at least 3 differnet forms of crystal, one in each primary color. I had also considered attempting to keep 3 types in my visual field while working on them, but this was not required too call it a sucess.

I went back to the hotel room that had been in so many of the earier parts of the dream, and found my wife in there. I explained the nature of the task to her. She seemed interested in watching and took a seat at the small hotel table.

I sat at the table and the first attempt I just looked at my hand and pictured what I wanted. A stick like blue thing started to grow, it became encrusted in what looked like salt crystals, and grew to about 6 inches long. My wife haded me a flower pot for the next one, so I could leave them standing up right.

The next one was in scarlet red, and grew the same way. I was happy so far, but the crystals did not look like a new form, just a new color. I kept working on the same one and morphed it into clear little green crystals that were cube shaped like lead crystals.

I next grew one that was big and fluffy and looked like ice crystals about like a snow cone. I noticed it was green and shifted it to yellow. This looked very vivid as a wave of color replaced the old color, about like it looks when they flavor snow cones.

So far these crystals were all little and not as distinctly different as I would like. I decided to narrow my focus and get a close up of the growing crystals. I went over close to a light and narrowed my vision, kind of like a zoom in feature. By focusing in close I created little tourmaline crystals in a citrine yellow. They just grew in my hand.

At this point my wife called my attention away from the zoomed in prespective. She said, "look, the things you grew in the pots have purple crystals." I looked at what she was pointing at and one of the crystal sticks had a flower like thing on the end of it. I looked closer and it was a broach.

The broach had not been grown by me while I watched, and was a new creation of my imagination. I knew it would not count toward my task if I did not grow the crystals. I looked at it and at first it was blank, so I decided to 'sprout' finished gemstones out of the surface of the broach. A couple amethysts in a classic cut bloomed out and thena few more in yellow.

This brought a new line of thinking to me. I had basically completed the task, but growing complete peices of jewelry with cut gems sounded fun. First I caused a fancy hair pin to bloom out of my wifes hair. Then I took a close look at it and cause 8 gems to grow, which I carefully caused to form 5 sided fancy cut blue saphires.

I then looked at an amulet my wife held out from her neck and caused a tear drop shaped amethyst to grow from the middle. On closer inspection it was smooth and not faceted. I changed it, causing it to morph into a nicely caceted 8 sided gem.

Having had such luck with growing crystals in various shapes and colors, I wanted to attempt it while keeping the three in my feild of vision. I went to the table and quickly grew the small stick like things covered in crystals. I found out that the same problem happened as may be expected in real life. Focusing on the second and third was hard to do while maintaining vision of the first. I did grow all three in my field of vision in 3 colors, but the detail faded and I decioded this was not going to work well, so I called it good.

At this point or shortly there after my alarm went off. I shook my phone to cause a 15 miute snooze and attempted a DEILD. This worked and will be my next DJ entry. Dur ~? very long, perhaps an hour or so.

August 31, 2013
Method: MILD & WBTB (WILD attempted, but failed)
Sleep time: 8-9 hours

Dream 1

Got into a river for a cool dip, this river reminded me of a river flowing through the Amazon Rain Forest. I could hear the sounds of the wild animals all around me. I must have been pregnant or just delivered a baby because my breast was leaking milk something terrible. As I got into the river for a cool dip, I could see the milk leaking from my breast mix in with the river water. The animals in the river drank the water and milk concoction and as they did, the came out of the river huge ! Then they started to get like super powers from the mixed drink and started doing things they normally don’t do (like monkeys being able to fly like birds in the sky). I saw something ‘hanging’ from some of the animals that got out of the water and when I took a closer look, I noticed that now, they too have huge enormous breast leaking breast milk (I really should have become lucid from this dream ).

Dream 2

A woman was looking for someone to help her with putting on a play from a book. She went around asking everyone to assist her in the play, but no one could help her because they couldn’t understand the topic of the play. She needed someone who was familiar with this play that she was going to be adapted from a book, but she was very upset because she couldn’t find anyone familiar with the book. I told her I knew what she was talking about and she looked at me baffled because she hadn’t even told me what the name of the book was, or what the book was about. I told her that she didn’t have to, that I just knew what she was talking about without even telling me. She told me if I could tell her the name of the book, I would receive the job. I told her the name of the book was, “The Bell Jar.” I was correct.

Note: I have no idea why this book came into my dream, I believe that I either saw a moving that made a reference about it or heard someone in RL talking about it...either way, I have not read the book myself...weird?

This is one of my longer and more interesting dreams and my recall is waning by the second. Let's do this!

This dream was either very long or was an extension of the previous dream (basically a DEILD without the lucidity). I don't remember the first parts, save for that my sister was involved and there was a show that I wanted to watch after school. Now to the parts I remember:

I was sitting in English class. There was some trip you could go on that day. I'm not one for doing after school things, so I refused. Besides, I had a show to watch. I said goodbye to my teacher and went to do whatever I had to do next. The school was not like my real one. After I was done with that, I had to hurry back to my English teacher's room, for whatever reason. The buses were leaving soon! I kept asking people how to get to her room, but the school was a bleeding labyrinth! I finally came across one of my friends and asked him, "What's the fastest way to Mrs. Callahan's (my teacher) room?" He replied, "Well, you can go straight through... (this part eludes me) or you can go through Bavaria at either end of the school." In this dream, there were two regions we referred to as "Bavaria" at either end of the school. These places were locker/shower rooms bathed in piss where freaky German dudes hung out (no offense to German people). For whatever reason, I decided this was my only option. I moved as quickly as possibe through the piss-covered rooms, trying hard to avoid slipping and being caught by a German kid. I tried to used walls to retain my balance, but every surface was covered in piss! I was almost free, but the Germans came after me. As I was about to exit Bavaria, some girls screamed as they saw me (the area looked like a store) and some German tried to grab me. I suddenly became invisible to them and everything became grayscale and there were words at the bottom of my vision. This is where the dream ends.

Again, I apologize to any offended Germans!


*The fear of missing the bus is a common element in my dreams, but this is the first time it's happened in a while, possibly because school starts on Thursday.

I am walking down the hallway going into a spill out area in my highschool the setting was by some lockers I believe where the walls and floor were the color gray. I remember that I saw this girl I had a crush on, her name was Cindy and her ex whose name is Lucas was walking perpendicular from me. At this point I felt mad tension but then out of no where I saw them hug in the corner of my eye when I was walking by which was mad awkward because they had a bad break up. At which I just walked away and started talking to this other chick I believe she was blonde and went our separate ways.

August 31 2013 - Dream Fragment #1: I remember seeing people that I knew, and then the dream transitioning into an apocalyptic dream ( one of these again) with me running down a path. I got to a sort of old cottage-type place where I saw all of these warriors that tried to kill me. Apparently I was more badass in this dream than in the one last night because I outran them and got to a car at the end of the driveway. I was driving for a long while, and now my memory fades out.

Dream Fragment #2: I remember seeing all of these very nice houses from an aerial viewpoint. Somehow it transitioned back to me sitting at a desk somewhere. I looked over and saw my ex-girlfriend IWL. She put her are around my shoulders and I almost flipped out. "Why are you doing this?" I asked her. She replied in some way but I really don't remember now. My dream's viewpoint shifted out to the sky again and it showed a little place to put your boat next to a very luxurious mansion. I heard here say that if I start going out with her she'd give me a house. I remember refusing it (?) and then I woke up soon.

1. Traveling with my cousins (to dragoncon?) We stopped at a hotel with wierd phones everywhere. My aunt called and asked which one of us pooped on her couch, and we said it must have been the dog. o-e

2. My family was beginning a journey, and we stopped at same aunt's house for supplies. I wanted to take their rootbeer, but they wouldn't let me.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I am in my room and i am talking to family member about dreams, then there's some classic music going on and who i am talking to mentions singing, suddenly i hear some chinese song. It's weird and it was coming out from everywhere, i looked at my hands and they were weird, so i am indeed dreaming. I go to balcony door and phase through it, i am about to take off but dream fades.

Dream 2(fragments):

Something's going on and i am going somewhere. Then i am at kitchen, i suspect that i am dreaming and look at my hands, first time they are usual, second time more weird, i go for the window and when about to jump through dream fades.

#222 - DILD - 6:03AM

I am in strange version of work and maintenance is working on some chain to a large hoist mechanism. Travis asks me to help but I don't know what I am doing. I try to get a ladder up to where he is but I can't seem to get it to work right. Soon I give up and he says he's going to go get Jon.

I sit down on the floor and look around. I see Michelle and some other woman working on something at desks. They look like they are writing or taking tests. Then they both put their hands over their faces like Weeping Angles. I find this amusing and want to take a picture with my phone but remember we can't take pictures. Then something starts happening and begin to realize this is a dream. I look around and see Darlene smiling at me like she knows something. I look down and notice that I am laying on my black comforter. Now I get it and I decide I don't like this dream and try and in-dream WILD.

I lay down and spin until I am in the void. Then I find myself in a type of SP in my bed. I feel very hot in my chest and arms. I realize I am wearing a thick sweater and try to take it off but I can't move. The feeling of being hot but unable to sweet is unbearable. I try to move again but can't. I blow on my self hoping that will cool me down. A part of me thinks this is probably not real and I should try a way to block it out but I can't focus on anything else. I try calling out to my wife hoping she will hear me and wake me up. I get out a strained. "Babe. Wake me up. It's so hot." I feel her stir and touch my face, then kiss me. The feeling is numbed and I know its not real. I say, "You're not even real are you?" I feel panicked now and begin to whimper, "It's so hot. It's so hot. It's so hot." I finally wake up not feeling at all hot but I have the sensation of a phantom energy on my chest.

#221 - MILD - 4:27AM

I have some dream about being at the library with my wife and kids. I wake up and MILD. Soon I am laying on a floating platform and using a joy stick to control it. I am flying around in some large office building and want to get outside. I think to phase through the ceiling but find some glass doors instead. I see Ronnie from work smiling at me as I leave.

Now I am outside and become fully lucid. I decide that I want the platform to become a skybike. I concentrate and feel it morph under me. It feels soft like a pillow and I cant seem to form the handle bars right. I decide it doesn't matter and I don't really need them. I stop now thinking there was something I was going to do but I just can't remember. I look at the twilight sky and see 3 bright lights floating and morphing. recognize this as typical for me and look away. Still, I sit idle and my attention is drawn back to the lights. They move and morph like before and I stare at them in a daze.

The dream goes black for a second and I decide I should just investigate the lights. I visualize going there and the dream comes back. I find myself hanging on the wing of a passenger plane. I see people looking out at me through the windows and I punch the glass intending to let the cabin pressure blow the people out. Then I stop, thinking that it won't work that way in a dream. I "spiderman" my way to the cockpit and find it has a door like a helicopter. I open it and rip the pilot out. The copilot seems to be an "extra" and I politely ask him, "Will you be my co-pilot?" He makes no reply.

I look forward and notice that now I an driving on a country road at night. I think about trying the Hell task. I try to imagine a hole opening in the road but it doesn't feel right. I decide to try another way. I pull up on the controls and the plane goes up then I bring it nose down into the ground. We phase through it for a long way as the plane and all the people disappear behind me. I am now falling down a series of tunnels. At that point the dream gets dark and changes.

I lose lucidity and find myself looking at tunnels like in an ant farm but on a much larger scale. I am cleaning them with a large Q-tip and I see many roots growing in all directions. For some reason I think of this as my ear canal. I see some section that I think must be my ear drum. My dad passes by and I follow him.

Then I realize what just happened and become lucid again. My dad asks me what happened and I say, "I tried going to Hell, but you know that aquarium thing in the next room? I started cleaning it like it was ear wax." I wake up.

I am on a bus with lots of people I know from basketball. After a few stops and meaningless exploits, I realize that I am dreaming. I look around the bus and start surveying things. I use a mind RC/stabilize to see how it works vs the watch. There is a girl in the bus that is a representation of 2 young girls that I know and have a similar relationship with, she looks like both and neither and what makes both the girls similar in my head normalyl is how they treat me, so personality is the same as both. We make a stop.
I jump out the back and start using TK to move boxes and boxes in from the place (huge mansion). I think we are just stopping around and stealing things... Not really my style I'll stop this bus in a bit. We all get back in the bus. Me, the girl and a guy. This guy is awesome, and also has dream powers. He is going to help me with stopping the bus fr stealing things.
Stop at another place and I use a barrier this time to transport the things that we had to put in, this time it was five or six random trinkets lying around the bus. I ate something off the ground, I think that it was trash. :/
I am bored here and want to leave. The dream fades.

DEILD
I am in the back of the bus, mind RC/stabilize. Dang it. I put my hands together and try to make a quick barrier, but something is stopping me. I can only make a small one. Has to be the bus. The lady that is controlling the bus is revealed as a witch and she bosses the little girl around and tells her to do something impossible for her. She wants her to pick up all the trash. Before 5 seconds is up. She starts outside and I make myself a blur of motion and drop the things off in the girls arms. When I get back around, the witch is fighting the dude and sees me. She decides to send us away to a nightmare land and thousands of tiny black/purple boxes are floating towards me and the dude. He is wearing a pirate hat I realize. The purple boxes start morphing together as they get closer. There is about 40 of hem surrounding me and I push them all away with TK. They come back quickly and I create a barrier around me so that they can't come near. I point my hand at the witch and draw a line across her throat. Her head pops off and back on. I then draw a line down her face, it splits in two and the regens again. This has to be an illusion of her. Everyone can die.

Running a checksum in a database that represents some aspect of life does not produce same result as expected, but someone points out that maybe expectations were wrong.

Another fragment: got a new iPad, won it somehow. My mother in law was in this dream too. I think maybe she won it, and gave it to me. Oh, and I remembered telling my boys that this new iPad does not have all the games yet on it, except for a few which grandma downloaded.
