Strange school (19th Aug. 2013) [I probably dreamed about this because today was my first day of school after summer holidays]

I am leaving home to go to the nearby forest. There seems to be a shortcut to my school so I enter and find my school - but that definitely was not the school of my waking life, however I see many familiar students and teachers. Some of them ask me for direction and so I point them in the right way (how the hell do I know the way? I have never seen this school before).
After strolling along this strange array of buildings which are supposed to be my school, I soon check my timetable and see that I have to find my biology room because the classes start soon. The room number is 36. I ask a teacher who tells me to leave the area of the school, cross the street and enter the next backyard. This seems really weird however I don't want to be late for class so I follow her instructions. I go there and knock on the gate. My biology teacher (the one that I have in waking life) opens the gate, tells me to enter and go the other ~30ish students.
I start seeing many people that I met on my Exchange Year in New Zealand and I am really glad that they all came here. So I start talking to them and hug them and we are just having smalltalk. After a while I wonder how it is possible that all those people from New Zealand are now in Germany and why I am sitting with them in a sandy and dusty backyard where other guys are playing soccer. And how the hell is this supposed to be my biology room? I instantly notice that I MUST be dreaming....

And what happens now? I instantly wake up because I think I have missed my alarm clock and am now late for school. I check my phone and I still have 30 minutes untill the alarm goes off.... really gutting.
Anyway, this was a really nice dream and I enjoyed meeting those old friends again that I haven't met in ages.

non lucid
*Two Asian ladies took me into a bath house. They started to pour hot water over me and massage my back. I felt sooooooooo good. Then I started to chock on the bubbles.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

(...) I'm going through a pile of paper with my writings. I carry it to a meeting with a guy who's working on it with me. As he reviews it, Obama appears on a visit to the place we are - an institute or something. He shakes hands with a few persons and then wants to talk to my colleague. I would like to tell him a few things but my colleague really begs me to keep silent. But as we're introduced, we look into each other's eyes and we duel with our minds. He knows and I know, and I know that he knows and he knows that I know.... In the end I feel incredibly unconfortable. Now he knows who I am, shit!
When he goes away, I fly out to the top of the mountain where I meet my mentor and guide. She tells I am right to be scared, because they will come for me, but that is necessary. They need what I have, but I also carry the key to their destruction and it is time to put that in motion.

August 19, 2013

notes: i didn't do any incubations because I went to sleep so late! I dreamed of witches who chased me down

Witches on Broomsticks
The giant ogre has me and mom running back into my bedroom. I lock the door, knowing that can't hold an ogre out but maybe it'll buy us some time. I open the window and tell mom "jump out!". But she insists she can't. Instead she hops on the bed and hides under the sheets.

I keep yelling at her "jump out the window now!". But she keeps insisting that I go on without her. The door opens, I'm out of time. I jump out the window (its night time) and fly away. A gang of witches on broomsticks chase after me.

I don't remember much of this chase scene anymore. But at some point I hid behind a gas station and befriended a talking monkey. I let the monkey sit on my shoulders - his hands were free to help me. The witches find us again and we fly away again.

Its day time now and I see a school up ahead. I fly into the elementary, past the hallway with kids and quickly hide from the windows view. From my point of view I can see that the witches were hoovering outside the windows, looking for me.

I open the janitorial closet door which leads to another door, to another door which leads to the emergency exit. That led to a staircase. My monkey friend promptly reminds me "don't go down, go up!". Going down in an industrial staircase like this always leads to something nightmarish.

I go up the steps but there's no door for the next level! So I go back the way I came and try to find some other place to hide.

Eventually I walked into a room that was completely empty, except for one large oval table. It looked futuristic, like it was a giant oval computer. I walk up to the table, in the very center was a face. I couldn't tell if the face was robotic or wearing an ancient mask. Who ever he is, he's asleep in this table. I wanted to know more about this sleeping face.

Leaving the room, I run into a little black girl with braided pig-tails. She tells me this man had to be put to sleep, but one day soon he's going to wake up. Anyways, I look out the window and I don't see the witches. I fly right out, but it's a trap. The gang of witches were still there. I try to fight them but nothing I do works. So I just fly right back in the building.

This time the witches followed inside. They were thoroughly checking all the rooms so I kept switching my hiding places. For a while I hung out with the little girl and her classroom. Eventually I ran back into the room with the face - around this time I also noticed my monkey friend was non-existent.

The face was waking up, and he sounds real pissed! I shouldn't be here! Instead, I get the idea to hide under another table. I waited for the witches to follow me into the 'faces' room. I don't remember what happened next, but I finally got away, because the witches were busy battling the face.

I travel through weird landscape after weird landscape. Most of them were desert, rocky and epic feeling like from some sci-fi movie. That's when I get blasted with this nostalgic feeling "I remember this dream! I remember what happens next! I become lucid!". I was sure of it, in the next scene of the dream I'm supposed to become lucid....lol.....sigh.....

I pull out my dream journal and look for an entry that resembles this dream. I get frustrated because the events that lead to the next scene haven't happened yet. I feel as though I'm waking up.

Video Games with Funky
Instead my dream just morphs into something else. I'm playing fantasy role-playing video games with my friend Funky and others online. The video game starts out in those same epic landscapes I just flew through. There were dinosaurs, mindlessly eating and eating each other. Dragons and other fantastical creatures.

Our characters were leveling fast. I guess the boys got jealous and didn't like how fast me and funky's characters were leveling. They tell each other "don't let them play the next game!" and boot us out. My screen goes black! How rude! I turn to funky, she's fallen fast asleep still holding the remote control. I remember how strange it was to look at her asleep. I realize its because her breathing matched mine, it was more like staring at my body that was asleep on the bed.

I woke up after

Four dreams that I can remember. First one, I was living in a zombie world (probably because of my The Walking Dead marathon). However, the zombies weren't... dangerous. They were just there, walking and being dead. We had to walk around them because they were always on the way and it was a pain, but looking back... it was quite funny. Kinda like a bad traffic jam, but with zombies instead of cars.

Second dream, I was talking to some people from Glee Forum about Glee. Except that we were talking in real life, not online. There were some guys talking about Mark Salling, but then they turned to me and asked me how Lea was doing. I said she was getting better, and then she was there too, but not close to us. We saw her and started talking about how we wish her the best.

Third dream, I was driving. I don't think I had a destiny, I was just driving on this empty road. I also remember that I had fixed the car, in a garage.

Fourth dream, I was talking to a girl from high school. She had just graduated and she was happy, so we were celebrating, having a few drinks. It was fun.

That's it. I remembered a lot more when I woke up, but I didn't have enough time to write my dreams.

Dream 1(fragments):

I am doing some stuff at home and then i decide to look at hands they were weird so i am dreaming, i go to balcony, rub hands. Then i take off and feel wings, as i fly i notice that background is like static texture, then dream fades out.

Dream 2:

There was story about space station and some spaceship docking there. The crew of the ship were secretly pirates and were trying to capture the station, also they were not humans but rather light-blue muscular humanoids in armor. There was some kid-engineer that was defending the station and he started talk with one of pirates and managed to talk them into going away. Then i was looking at some kind of ship log and there were some of nicknames that i used on internet logged. Then back to story, the ship flied out of hanger and there was some battle going on.
Then everything everything faded to some other place, in the skies, a dragon was flying away.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing some FPS game and the level was located in some ancient tomb place, i was discussing something with other player and we were talking about some science book.
Then i wake up and i realize that apparently i accidentally bit somebody and some stuff around while sleeping and there was some talk about that.

I was in Russia( I think). Some homeless guy is going around looking for a job. I give him 10 bus tickets to sell. I was returning home and I bought 3-4 from him.
One piece- raided some bandits' cave. There is a frog/lizard there. He was living in some dirty air for last 10 years. We free him and he joins us. Then we take down a bendit's camp. I used a gatling gun.
I had one more written down buy my phone messed up so I lost it.

Something weird happened today. After I wrote everything down, few of my old dreams (that I didn't even remember) came back to me. I didn't know they existed until I did Here are two of them. I had a third, but again,. phone messed up.
In london, going on the tube. Switching around on many trains, something about tickets and a totalitarian government.
In India, at a train station. I went into the yard and hopped on an engine (remembering more details as I am writing this. The engine comes around and then I sit inside. I came into the station through a very busy ally sort of thing. The times were written on saucers.

AS I WAS WRITING THIS, I REMEMBERED ANOTHER ONE.
Going to Bavla, in a train. We needed to change trains at some station, but the train didn't stop, so we had to get off the running train. I went ahead and scouted for another one, but didn't get it. Then, we had to wait outside. We went through the barrier and waited at this tea stall/house thing outside

REMEMBERED ANOTHER ONE WTF IS GOING ON OMG
Out camping or something in Bavla. It was a marshy area. I can't go over a bridge for some reason. There are few outpost sort of things. I can't go past them. So I move around for a bit.

NOTE: I want to clarify that I didn't remember these dreams until now. Maybe I remember all the train stuff because it is the same subject? THIS MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT THE WHOLE NOTION OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REMEMBER YOUR DREAMS ONCE YOU FORGET ABOUT THEM.

Fragment: I was just riding a motorcycle, trying to get faster but I was too afraid.

Fragment 1: I seemed to be reviewing a bit of Downton Abbey TV series in my sleep, specifically the bit about how the assistant cook is jealous of the new kitchen maid because of the romantic interest of the footman.

Fragment 2: this dream was third person kind of like watching TV too. There was a war veteran who used to be into college basketball, and now he wanted to go back to college to play more ball, and would he be any good again?

For the first time in over a year I've been really hammering Xbox, playing Halo Reach Legendary and I've now nearly completed it (not bad for an oldie) But, contrary to my earlier view, I'm now wondering whether this has disrupted my dream cycle.

I'm fairly sure that the dreams have been there, but it's been difficult to catch them. Even after two choline tablets last night I only managed one and a fragment of one. By now, it's clear to me that the dreams and any planning is easily disrupted by tiredness and various other causes. They are truly like will-o'-the-wisps

1.55 AM Dream fragment A ample woman in her forties (steady on Ed...you know I like ample women don't you...you dog!) blathered on about farm and water rates??? She was with some other people (her parents I think).

08.40 AM I was with a group of military officers (DS) in some place like Whitehall and we were making some derogatory remarks, as a group of ministers passed by. One bespectacled minister overheard us and I can remember feeling alarmed. "Deny everything." I said ( a good maxim in life I've found)

He came over and did some DC blathering and a colleague (who seemed remarkably coherent) translated and said that apparently, subject to a month's review, we would hear some news to our liking.

i can't recall any recent news items about unhappy farmers or military and we have no connections to either occupations in our living generations. Could it be racial memory? Who knows?

So despite my earlier assumptions, it looks likely that heavy gaming probably didn't cause me to have the two amazingly vivid hypnagogic visions I had a couple of years back (one at night and one napping during the day)

With my current interest in LD, I'd dearly like to know (a) the cause...was it something I ate? (b)the time of my nap...because it was truly a golden hour. So I'm working at both. I know 17.00 PM is good for SP effects etc (although NEVER hypnagogia or a dream) but I'm now thinking that this was maybe early afternoon (a good excuse to experiment...I'm turning into a dormouse I think)

Was (a) red wine? (which I only used to drink occasionally...honest) Well, I'll just have to try won't I? failing that I'll have to try a range of drinks and foodstuffs because I can't, at this stage, envisage any external cause.

Excelsior...I can speak Latin me....

I was at some kind of shop. It reminded me of a arts and craft shop. I was with my brother and Eddy-I.

It was dark, and I spotted the machine I used to work on, which in RL, this is untrue.

My brother picked up something and yelled out some orders, to make 4 or so keys. He was joking around, but was taken serious by the workers there, and had placed the order of the keys. A manager came up to my brother and told him to fill out details for the keys.
We were all surprised by what was happening, that a joke was taken serious.

The shop was very compact, as there wasn't much room to get by other people who were in the shop.

I was waiting near a rack of items, when I felt someone grab me by my love handles, and pulled me from side to side. I turned to see who was it was, and noticed that it was a chick, which was decent looking. She smiled at me, and I returned the smile. I mentioned about grabbing my love handles in a laughing manner, and I grabbed her hips to do the same as she did to me. I could feel the skin as I grabbed it.
I could feel a mutual attraction between us.

I walked passed a mirror and had a quick look at myself. I thought I looked pretty good (except my hair was different, my fringe was kind of pushed over my brow, and my hair looked a bit longer)

(Things that I remembered briefly)
Jamie S house.
Germain (he had no sense of humor, I must have played a little joke on him)

I någon typ av arena, som jag tror man skulle fightas i. Ibland fylldes den med vatten och då så dök jag men tappade andan efter en liten stund. Konstigt!

I think I was at a friends house? (Josh A).

I was sitting out in a backyard, under a veranda. The veranda, looked like my old house in blackland.

Jumped scene.

I was now playing basketball at the local basketball stadium. I was warming up on court 5 with a few mates (Drew, Loki S, Stubs and Nick E).

I could see 2 basketballs on the court, a orange one which was getting used, and a black basketball, that was left in the center of the court.

The team we were about to verse, had arrived for warm up.

I noticed a guy that I knew of from high school (Dylan Mc). He was the controller of the scoreboard etc.

Someone on my team had asked me ''Are you a good basketball player'', I replied ''Not really'', even know I knew I was a decent player.

The game was about to start. We had 8 players on our team I think, because there was 3 to be placed on the bench. I asked who want to start in the game. I decided to start myself on the bench.

Drew and Nick, were on the bench for me. Someone (nick?) on the bench told me that Stubs was not going out tonight to a nightclub called Blitz, I said ''he didn't go last week either, he needs to make an effort''. Nick had replied saying ''we shouldn't assume, and that he may have had a good reason.'' I agreed.

We were getting our asses handed too us, I had noticed the score for our team was in the minus 40's. I subbed myself in and brought a lot of energy and speed to the team.

I was giving 100%, getting turn overs and at one point in the game I had jumped for the ball and while still in the air, threw the ball down our end of the court to give us a good counter attack. Our team were lazy, they were giving off an impression of disappointment, because of the ball not going exactly in their direction, which could have easily been picked up if they had put a small effort into it.
I was running very quickly up and down the court, and at one stage I was sliding into the wall and bouncing off of it, back into play.

The other team had an older man playing, he was a decent player. He had scored a 3 pointer not far from me, and I gave him credit for it and tapped his side as he ran passed me, and I said ''Nice shot'', he replied ''Thanks''.

It must have been the end of a quarter, and we were working out who should be subbed on and off. I mentioned that had been off already, but no one really cared, they all wanted to play. I think I decided to sub myself off again.

I went to some sort of festival or marketplace with my parents, but they took their own car and I followed behind them in mine. We traveled down a winding road with lots of flowers and pristine sidewalks and fences, it was very upscale looking. At the end of the road there was a gate set up that was similar to the gates you have to pass to get on army bases, where they wouldn't let us pass until we each bought tickets to the festival/marketplace thing. After we got them, they let us through into a huge parking lot that was packed with probably tens of thousands of cars, and the lot was divided into lots of smaller parking lots placed all around the area of the gate, I think each was numbered so you could remember where you parked. My parents and I parked in separate lots and went into the festival, but I don't remember the actual festival except that it was inside a giant warehouse and had dimly lit blue hallways with vendors selling things like stuffed animals. When we came out I couldn't remember where I parked, but I saw a red car that looked sorta like my Celtius. I walked up to it and realized it wasn't my car at all, and a couple walked up and asked why I was staring at their car, so I felt really embarrassed. Then I noticed a bike rack sticking out of a space further up and assumed it was my car instead, so I smiled and told them I was just walking past to my car up there, but as I got closer I saw it was just a big black SUV that happened to have a bike rack and wasn't my car either! So embarrassing, because I knew the couple was still staring at me as I walked around confused... Instead of continuing to search the whole lot, I asked my parents for help, and I hopped in their car and we drove around the the different lots looking for my car. (I remember playing the song 'To The Hilt' by Die Krupps on their radio and they were all "Ughhh your music sucks." Whatever homes, my music rules.) We drove through the gate to check the outer lots, but when we tried to get back through the gates the guard demanded we buy tickets again. I explained my situation and luckily he let us in and even helped us look, so we all split up to search the whole lot. As I was looking I heard a loud whirring noise, kind of like really low pitched binaural beats, and looked up to see weird undulating black things flying around in the sky that kind of resembled big cargo copters but were super disturbing in the way they wiggled while they moved. I was terrified thinking they were UFOs with grey aliens in them, but kept looking for my car instead of running away. The copters started attacking and a giant face came down from the sky and started killing random people it set its sights on. It looked kinda like the Face of Boe but bigger and completely white and see-through like a ghost. Then it set its sights on me and I was so scared and hid behind a car. When I peeked around the side of the car I saw it floating there on the other side looking for me, so I kept going around the car trying to avoid its gaze as it also went around the car trying to find me. Suddenly it came down on me from on top of the car and I screamed, then I woke up right before it jumped me.
