    1. Moving and then a horrible plane crash

      by , 04-13-2013 at 02:19 AM
      In this dream, I was staying at a hotel with my family because we had to move. There was a water park nearby and my daughter had gone to it. I was in the room and realized my birds were there, loose and without their cages. I had to go back to our house to get the cages for them. I kept going in and out of the room and each time I went back I would start up the wrong way and a obese teenager boy was sitting on stairs blocking one way so I kept apologizing and going back the right way. I got the keys and went to leave. I went to the water park to find my daughter but then the dream changed somehow. It was winter time and I was walking through very deep snow over a lake. There were large icy tubes that people were going down kind of like luges. My brother was there with another person, I guess it was my daughter and they were going around these luges. I went to leave and got trapped because I found myself on a lake that was melting. I was afraid to walk across the ice, I didn't want to fall in.
      The dream changed again and I was at a friends house, I didn't know this person, she was like an internet friend or something. I was staying with her in her home/motel. I was admiring her kitchen and how much counter space she had. She was going to take me to see her horses so we started walking on this trail back through the snow and next thing I know I was on a bridge and then the whole thing began moving. It was attached to a boat and we were going across a lake. It was sunset and very beautiful. I had my camera and was taking pictures. All of a sudden a plane came in like it was going to land nearby and then disappeared from view. Then a few seconds later another plane came, it was a jumbo jet. The kind with the large hump on the front of the plane. It was white with zigzag red stripes on it. No letters or numbers. It came in and then arced back up and around and came around and flipped over. I yelled that the plane was crashing. It came in and I could see it was plowing up snow before it crashed. There was a huge fireball but no I took my camera out and was trying to make a video and I couldn't get it on the right setting. The person that was driving the boat called 911 and reported the crash, the person that answered said they knew about it. We told them we saw it happen so I was trying to tell them exactly what happened and then found I couldn't talk. I was able to talk by speaking one word at a time. It was then I woke up. The dream really shook me up by how real it was.

    2. 04/12/13 Storm at Masyaf

      04/12/13

      Tornado of Flames
      I am in my own room, sitting on my bed, looking around. I am surrounded by Templars, which immediately pisses me off. I just used an Immortal Fire before going to bed and they're already back? I focus on using Dark Power of the Abyss by Rhapsody again, to drop another Immortal Fire and get rid of all of the Templars in the area. As the wave of flames from the Immortal Fire expands outwards from me I see it starts rotating as if it was caught in a tornado.

      The flames are actually pulling the Templars into a vortex portal. I wonder where the vortex portal might lead, and I look through. I see through the portal to what looks like deep space on the other side with a small planet of solid ice, maybe it's Pluto. I figure as long as it's not the Dark Realm they can go there for a while. The last of the Templars are pulled through the portal and then the portal closes behind them. Nomad opens another portal that leads to the moon, and we go through it. I remember that Nomad's girlfriend Winter needs some healing for her fibromyalgia, and there are a couple sores left to heal on Nomad, so I figure we can do some healing first. We go to the balancing pools and slip into the water. The warm water feels very relaxing. I see Winter is already floating in the water, seeming to be asleep. I go over to her and focus healing energy through her. I send the energy through Winter's whole body before moving over to Nomad and focusing healing energy on his foot, on the couple remaining sores, most of which are gone completely and only two small ones remain. While I am focusing the healing energy I feel healing energy going through me, it is so relaxing. I think I am going to fall asleep right there. I am floating in the warm water and almost asleep when someone gets my attention. Washu is there, she says maybe the nanites in my head on the physical plane can be put to use to help us instead of the Templars.

      At first I have no idea what she is talking about, I give her a blank look. She says come on, Janet also wants a look. Winter stays in the balancing pools, floating serenely in the water. Nomad and I follow Washu to the sick bay area of the moon tower. It looks like a Star Trek sick bay. Nomad and I each lie down in a bed, scans are being done. The computer responds that there are nanites in both of us, though the ones in Nomad appear to be disabled. Apparently mine are doing just fine… unfortunately… Washu says she thinks they can hack in to the nanites and take control of them, or of course disabling them is an option. I tell her maybe reprogram them… if I could use them to get a clearer contact to the Borg Collective then maybe I could boost my recall of everything from things I have learned to my own dreams. Washu agrees with that, Janet types something on a computer. I feel drowsy and I fall asleep on the bed, I notice I can hear voices in the distant part of my mind, voices like those in the Borg Collective. It is just on the periphery of my awareness, however, and I slip off to sleep.

      Secret Invasion
      I am with Nomad and some other people in the tower on the moon looking at a computer display. The display shows the area just outside of a town, it looks like Masyaf from the Assassin's Creed games. In one dark corner there are Templars disguising themselves as Assassins. The Templars don't even look like normal Templars, they look demonic in nature, and they are heading into Masyaf unquestioned along with a group of Assassins who had been out scouting the area for intruders. I think that was an epic fail on the scouting mission… So we go to the tower teleporters and teleport to a spot right near where the Templars are disguising themselves. They are Templars disguised as Assassins.

      We change our appearance so we are now Assassins disguised as Templars disguised as Assassins. We go into the town around Masyaf in these disguises, unquestioned. It seems really obvious to me that there are people who do not belong here, but the guards at the gate seem oblivious. Inside the town it seems people are splitting up a bit, though I am not sure where they are going. I follow a couple of Templars up towards the castle. One of the Templars is sneaking up behind an Assassin guard, but I sneak up on him first. The Templar is dead before he can make his move, I kill him by pumping light energy into him through my hidden blade. I look around in time to see Altaïr eliminate the other Templar I had been following. I look around, not sure how to spot the Templars hidden among the Assassins and civilians. Then I remember the tiara I got from Koomo in a previous dream… it gives me Eagle Vision like the characters in Assassin's Creed have. So I activate that and look over a ledge at people down below. Most of them don't glow at all, those are civilians. Several glow blue, indicating they are allies, they are Assassins. I spot a red one, a mixture of red and gold actually. An enemy and a target. A Templar. The Templar is right below me, so I do an air assassinate on him, dropping right down on top of him. Two of the Assassins see me do this, and their impression is that one Assassin just killed another… I pull the hood off of the dead Templar to reveal his true nature so they will see why I have done that. I tell them that I saw this Templar and others sneaking into Masyaf, be on the lookout, there are more intruders around… all of them demons. I wonder if normal weapons will do any good on the demons… I leave the spot and scan for more enemies. I spot two more Templars heading for the castle entrance. When I get close enough I realize I have been spotted, and they attack me. I form Witchblade into a sword and defend myself. A couple Assassins in the area don't seem sure of what to do when they see what they think is three Assassins fighting each other. I manage to hit them both with light energy and take them out, revealing their true nature at the same time. The other Assassins in the area seem surprised to see the intruders. I wonder how far the Templars would have gotten without being seen… Spike, also dressed as an Assassin, arrives from my left. He says the enemies have all been accounted for, but there is a large force approaching Masyaf. Everyone is gathering at the front to repel it. I head in that direction, but I wake up before I have a chance to make it.

      Time of the Storm
      I am with a large group of people, a large group of Assassins outside of the walls of the city of Masyaf. I see a dark cloud approaching, my first thought is that I am in a Dark Tower dream and the Wolves of the Calla are approaching. I look around and confirm I am surrounded by Assassins rather than gunslingers. The approaching cloud is a group of enemies, but it is not the Wolves of the Calla, these enemies are Templars. One Templar arrives ahead of the others, approaching as if he had nothing to fear from the group of Assassins waiting to meet him. He laughs at the group, in fact. He says he will give us all one chance. Hand over the artifact key and maybe he can convince those following him to leave us alive. Someone in the group of Assassins says if the Templars turn and leave now then maybe some of them will make it out alive. The Templar laughs and says he had hoped we would do it the hard way, this is going to be fun. The Templar makes a motion to unseen forces behind him and they all seem to appear out of nowhere. The bracelet I got from Koomo transforms into a pair of giant raven wings, lifting me up above the fight below. I use Battery to call down lightning from the clouds, lightning made of light energy to strike down the demon Templars.

      All around me I see the fighting has begun, Nomad has transformed into some kind of giant feline and is tearing through Templars like they aren't even there. Most of the people there are fighting with swords, I am being fired at with arrows that are glowing with a black light, charged with dark energy. I dodge most of the arrows, though a couple actually put holes through my black wings. I land in the middle of the fight and form Witchblade into a sword. I can't really see much of what is going on right now, from the middle of the fight. I occasionally spot a familiar face… Nomad… Spike… Altaïr… I use the song Divide by Disturbed to create multiple instances of me. The fight continues for a short time longer until we have emerged victorious. The demon Templars are all either destroyed or forced to retreat to their home dimension. I focus my efforts on healing injured Assassins now, there are a few people around who have been injured but not killed. I wonder how many of the Assassins got killed in the fight, wishing I could somehow have saved them all, but the only way to do that would have been to keep them out of the fight entirely, which they wouldn't have agreed to. I have just finished healing a female Assassin, one of the few women I have seen on the battle field, when I wake.
    3. Delusional Keys

      by , 04-13-2013 at 01:45 AM
      I was in the bathroom and I was shaking and choking, I felt like I was in danger, like I was going to die and so I tried to call for my mom, but she never came and the feeling passed, almost as though I had completely imagined it because nothing was there. Then I went to school where I stood next to SB, and I saw a pile of keys. I started rummaging through all the keys, they were all golden, and different in shapes. SB asked me what I was doing and I looked up and told him to look at all the keys, but he said there wasn't any keys there and asked me what I was talking about. When I looked back, there weren't any keys, and I was confused. Then I realized that I was seeing things that weren't there, all the people started taking odd, colorful, and diverse appearances, like there was a golden midget and a lady in a Royal blue suit with minty hair and really strong buff guys, but they were intimidating. I started panicking, and stayed with SB and we were supposed to be going to a beach. But then SB turned into a guy named Roy, and he started trying to do bad things to me and I was afraid because I didn't know who Roy was but it was actually SB. When we got to the beach Roy became SB again, and there was a transvestite in a Lime green bikini with bright blue and magenta flowers, but he gave me his bikini and I was still feeling really anxious and delusional and I was starting to worry that SB would not care for my crazy state much longer. Then I woke up.

    4. Dream Journal Entry 5: No Recall, Possible Dream Sign -04-12-2013-

      by , 04-13-2013 at 01:19 AM (The Land of Dreams - SilentEternity's Dream Journal)
      No recall, save for something that was probably me just waking up briefly (ie. I remember falling asleep, then "waking up" and falling asleep again).

      However, I shall endeavor to recall tomorrow's dreams, and hopefully they are lucid.

      I believe that one potential dream sign would be finding myself shirtless - as I sleep shirtless, it could potentially carry over to the dream.

    5. Dark Tower Dream: Roland's story

      by , 04-13-2013 at 12:41 AM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I awake near a campfire on the ground. Raven is here, so is WinterFae, Roland, and some other people. Roland tells us what the zombie wolves are. As he tells us the story, we see the pictures in the smoke and in our minds.

      The zombie wolves are actually men. Men, Templars from other dimensions that became wraiths in their world, forever bound to the astral plane by killing themselves in order to induce a trauma to their soul and bind themselves to the twilight plane of the astral.
      They have animated the bodies of mutant wolves, half-dead in order to kidnap children and steal their dreams. The Wraith-Templars want everyone to stay on the astral plane and go no further when they sleep, for on the astral, the Templars can torture people and feed of their pain energy.

      I lean forward and reach for a firebrand. I stare at the flame on the end of the stick. I slowly put the flame close to my right hand. Raven shouts, "Nomad, you'll hurt yourself!"
      "I have to see!" I burn myself right where my RC tattoo is in Wakeworld. I cry out in pain, and toss the firebrand into the fire. "Nomad-Nyne, what are you doing?" cries WinterFae.
      "I have to see." I look at my hands. They look normal except for the burn, which is now blistering. I pinch my nose...can't breathe through it. I try to fly. I can't. I try to shoot fireballs. I can't. I pick up an empty can, toss it into the air, and throw a knife right into it with a loud clang. "...and we are all good shots..." echoes in my head.
      "This is real," I whisper, and faint. Raven catches me.
      I wake up some time later. Raven and WinterFae are looking over me. "This is real, isn't it?"
      "Yes, brother, this is real, this land, this ka-tet, this world. And the quicker you accept that, the quicker we can-" Roland raises his gun and points it at me- no- behind me. A bullet whizzed past my ear, and into the head of a strange templar-wraith.
      We look around. No one else, a scout.
      "Okay, friends, let's move!" Roland shouts. We quickly pack up camp, and move out from the woods to a cool desert plain.
    6. Michael can fight

      by , 04-13-2013 at 12:14 AM (My Lucid Dreams)
      So I' m very exited because I had my fourth lucid this week and it' s not even the week end yet ... whoo !
      Anyways, I find it pretty interesting because it's one of my most vivid lucid, and the second one in which I actually feel pain !

      _________________________

      Lucidity : 8/10
      Control : 6/10
      Vivacity : 9.5/10

      I've been trippin' to the moon for a while, going back and forth between Earth and its satellite; our mission is to find a village "LOST" style :
      http://0.tqn.com/d/gohawaii/1/0/Z/l/...n_hour_009.jpg
      We get there, it' s been our second trip on the moon, we were supposed to have one more.
      It' s dark, but I can feel grass under my feet, it' s all dead, and so are the trees; they have no leaves, they' re all weird ... but not the forest surrounding the village, nah, that' s all healthy
      I inspect a gilder, until I realize my second lucid dream was in the moon too . Well, here I am now ... lol. After some time of reflection, I get that it' s safer to check the state I' m in ...
      Oh well, I guess I' m not on the moon then . I get my thoughts back together and realize it' s cool anyways, I mean, it' s a lucid dream, right ?

      I somehow ended up on a roof, I look around me and see a city, mostly composed of tenements that extend all the way to the horizon. I rub my hands together. I wanted to do something back in reality ... it has something to do with touching the floor ... that' s it ! - I thought it was punching the ground to break it, but it really isn' t *.
      I run and try to fly to another roof but that' s seemingly not what I' m supposed to do. Ok then, I' l just climb it ! when I got there I already forgot what I "wanted" to do; I do remember I couldn't fly. Never mind, I' ll just jump. So I do, but I land a bit closer to what I wanted.
      I do the same thing several time, going lower and lower, each time aiming for a longer jump ... until I fail my jump and land in a tree; its branches stabbing me repeatedly . I land on a bigger branch, holding my legs ,man that hurts like hell !.
      After some seconds I just forget about the pain and jump off the tree; I' m in a court, a whole bunch of needles are on the walls, pointing up . I could climb it easily, but right now I really don' t feel like doing so, I beat myself up enough for tonight. I get in a building instead, but there' s a creepy guy inside.
      He goes : "Micheal Jackson is the best fighter ever"
      And like an idiot I answer : " Better than Elvis ? "
      He gets mad and challenges me for a fight, but right now I' m not in the mood, I run away.
      I notice a rock coming out of a wall, that' ll do it. When I get near to the wall the creep gets in front of me, I try to fly past him but I just rub my head against the floor.
      Pain .
      I get to another wall and try to get over it, but the needles are still there.
      Pain.
      I have no choice, I' ll beat the heck outta him and that' ll be done. We somehow come back in the building and the fight' s rules come into my head : if someone is close to passing out, we gotta stop fighting, the conscious one wins.
      We begin fighting ... using dance moves . At some point we see our shadows fighting; I' m Elvis he' s Michael .
      I beat him but a friend of his comes. I' m kinda pissed off and stop dancing like a dumb ass; I begin hitting him like a boss, using mostly my right elbow, small but fast strikes to the head in pretty much every direction, until he falls on the floor.
      I' m about to get outta here but
      I wake up before I do that .

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      * Instead of punching the floor, I was supposed to try my new technique to get in a friend' s dream.

    8. Healing, The Mask of the Dawn Key, Nanite Analysis

      by , 04-12-2013 at 09:12 PM (The Nomad Chronicles)
      I hear Raven speak to me telepathically, "Nomad, help me in this battle." I wake up! No, I'm dreaming... on the astral plane. I open a portal to Raven's house in the desert. She's surrounded by astral Templar demons with her sword drawn. I run in a circle around them, faster and faster, creating a whirlwind. Raven spins in place, and the Templar demons get sucked up into a sky portal. Goodbye, fuckers.

      Raven and I hi-5. Cool move! What do we call it? Chaos-Storm!

      Raven opens a portal to the Hot Pools on the Moon in the Biodome. I slide in. I feel all the muscles in my dream body relax. WinterFae is sleeping, floating in the water. I give her a kiss as she floats by. Raven falls asleep in the water and wakes up. "I feel so much better!"
      "What did you dream about?"
      "Nothing, silly. I already am dreaming."
      "Interesting!"

      "I want to analyze these nanites, if I have any. Let's go to the Moon Tower, since we're already on the Moon." We teleport to the base of the Moon Tower. Washu and Janet are there with Stephanie, the Tower's AI, manifesting as a hologram. They say they are very excited to analyze our physical bodies from the dream plane, a most interesting and challenging task.
      Washu has a funny dark energy animal, kind of like a cross between a beetle and a hedgehog. She says she has trained it to drain off a person's excess dark energy without hurting the person. She offers it to Raven. Raven pets it, and gives it back, saying she doesn't have too much dark energy in her dream body, it's the physical plane which is the problem.

      The three women lead us into an analysis room. They have us stand on circles with lights above and under us, then lie on beds and scan us with lasers. They say we both have nanochips in our physical bodies, but mine are disabled by the alien implants. Raven's nanochips never made it all the way into her brain, but got stuck in the bone of her skull, which can cause headaches. They say Raven can control them.
      We access the Collective. Raven and I are flying down a digital wormhole. I feel calm and at peace. I feel like an android, I feel so human, so alive. We fly into two cubes, spinning in opposite directions, like a merkabah. We say we are machine, we are cyborgs, we take control of our bio-technology.

      We wake up in The Sick Bay of the Moon Tower. Stephanie is looking at me, her bluish skin faintly glowing. "We are so much alike, cyborg," she giggles.
      "What?" I wake up.

      I fall back to sleep.
      I am on the Moon Tower with Raven. She is looking through the giant telescope at Masyaf. "Templars... infiltrating, counterspies! Look, Nomad!" I look through and see a city on a mesa, and Templar demons disguised as Assassins slowly making their way in.
      "Nothing is True."
      "Everything is Permitted."
      "As above, so below, as within, so without."
      "We must counter-infiltrated the Templars going in to Masyaf!"
      "Let's do it!"

      Raven and I morph into Templars, then put our Assassin robes over them. We think we look so silly and laugh. She opens a portal to outside Masyaf. We are on the side of a road in a valley. We join a band of demon-Templars dressed as Assassins, following up the rear. We walk with them into the city.

      We stay in a special training school. After a few weeks, we discover who all the demon-Templars are, and assassinate them at night, and throw their bodies over the cliff. The Templars lay siege to the city. They shout they want their sacred artifact, the Mask of the Dawn Key, and they will kill us all to get it. (con'td)

    9. DILD long

      , 04-12-2013 at 08:44 PM (Turquoise Dreams)
      Friday, 4/12/13

      I woke up at 6:30 am and went back for a nap at 8am.

      I was going to WILD, but for some reason, I didn't get any indication of it.

      Turned to my left side and fell asleep. When I woke up, I was sure I had a DILD, but didn't get uo, went back to sleep. Next time I woke up, I wasn't so sure about DILD anymore. Until I started to write down snippets. I was trying to recall, if I got any surprise or happiness when I realized I'm lucid, but I didn't remember any. Until now. Now I clearly remember telling someone "ok, I'll count my fingers, but it's pointless, I'm not dreaming". Then I counted 6-7 fingers on my left hand. I was completely surprised. I counted again and again, in awe, showing someone how many fingers I have. So DILD is confirmed.

      Snippets for DILD and non-lucids mixed in my memory:

      - I walked into my parents house. My dad had my mom's haircut and he was blond. With thin wire glasses. (just now I realized, he resembled the russian spy from The Americans show in his blond wig). My room looked the same way I had it when I was a child. I discovered, that my closet is haunted.

      - My brother with his wife and child are visiting. I want to know when they leave, so I can go out and come back before they leave.

      - I'm flying in controlled flight. Happy.

      - I'm taking a cab home. 2 other passengers. We go by my house and I want to get out, but cabbie says it has to be in order we got in. So we go to two other places first. I decide not to give him a tip.

      - I walk into a room and it's an interrogation room. A guy is behind a desk. (I was watching the show Revolution before bed)

      - I'm escaping through the roof, but each time I break through a layer, there is another, different one behind it.

      - I'm diving into a lake, wanting to swim in tropical sea. Water is dark and dirty, like a polluted river. I'm trying to make it brighter and it's getting brighter and I'm starting to see gravel on the bottom.

      I suspect there was more, but don't remember it.
    10. first try with my bracelet - better RCs

      by , 04-12-2013 at 06:24 PM
      so, yesterday i decided to use a bracelet that i always wear as a kind of RC. i wrote some numbers on it figuring they wouldn't show up right in the dream. unfortunately it didn't quite work out - i think my mind has turned that particular number combination into a picture, therefore defeating the number test. i did, however, manage to bring the bracelet into two separate dreams (at least - all i could remember) and actually had a 'wait a moment' and did a RC with my bracelet (even if i did fail). plan on still using the bracelet, but imagining something else on it/reminder to do *other* RCs. also trying to be more aware in daily life. ADA. used to meditate a lot, so not that unfamiliar with the process, just out of practice. also, found myself naturally waking up ~4-4.5 hours after going to sleep - around 12/1230am. wasn't sure if that would be the case considering my wacky sleep pattern (i'm trying to force it to normalize yet again).

    11. Entry 22. Also changing format of DJ from next entry..!

      by , 04-12-2013 at 05:35 PM (Ramblings of a mad man...!)
      My partner was out for the night and I fell asleep on the sofa.
      I'd done something wrong, although I don't recall what, I was on a boat of some sorts, maybe even a submarine, all of the doors where the rounded type and the walls and floors were metal studded in design. As I walked up a flight of stairs, I noticed a room in front of me with the door open, inside I could see a girl getting ready, she was naked though she made no attempt to cover herself and was completely at ease with her nakedness. As she began talking to me, a guy I hadn't noticed lying on the bed made himself known and it was apparent that he did take offence at her nakedness, what with me being there and all, an argument ensued. At some point during the argument, Martin Ribey, Bri Newby and a group of younger lads from around town came along and took hold of me, apparently I was to be punished for what I'd done - even though I still didn't know what - and they proceeded to hold me down. They put me in a seated position on the floor with one of them holding my arms behind my back from behind. Martin had gone off to gain more evidence and proof of what I'd done and we sat there and waited. By the time he returned, the rest of the group were getting impatient and wanted to give me a kicking. One of the younger lads was getting in my face and preparing to hit me, I was still being restrained and so I said "You're not even going to let me fight like a man then.?" There were like 6 - 8 of them in total, so I guess they figured I had no chance and decided to let me fight. As I was released and stood up, I grabbed the angry lads hair and started to kick him in the face, I had steelies on and so it wasn't pretty, seeing this Martin made a move towards me and so I kicked him in the balls, he doubled over, as he did so I grabbed his hair also and then started to smash both of their faces of each others. Seeing this feat of amazing self defence, the rest of the group turned their tails and beat a swift retreat. I let go of the younger lad as I knew Martin was the one I needed to worry about. We continued to fight until I had him on the floor and was sat on his chest. At this point, he turned into a praying mantis - I know right - and so I started to punch him in one of his eyes until it exploded at which point my partner returned home and woke me.

      We had a cup of tea and a fag, then went to bed around 4.30, she got in at around 3am and so I figured an attempt at WBTB wouldn't be a bad idea apart from the fact I'd interacted with her quite a bit, although I was still tired and sleepy, anyhoo, I dreamt about Diesel and Dutchess, I was out walking with them and we went to the shops. For some reason there were a lot of people there from a circus and all had different animals with them, there was a guy with tigers, I saw a rhino and an elephant, the types you'd expect to see, Dutchess was in her element and all of a sudden she ran off barking after a stoat. It jumped into the water and Dutchess wont go in deep water, at this point I noticed a man swimming with dolphins and I knew that if I slapped the water or knocked on the bank, they might come over to me, so I started to slap the water, it felt awkward and so I began knocking on the bank instead, as I'd thought, one of the dolphins came over, the weirdest thing is, it was like I was blind and I couldn't see the dolphin, no matter how I tried, I could feel the texture of it's skin and even felt it's tongue, but try as I might, I couldn't see it. I tied the dogs up with a kindly old man who said he's be happy to watch them for me and I went into the shops. I woke up proper at 8am.

    12. Fragrance Shop - Party

      by , 04-12-2013 at 05:24 PM
      I invited a few friends to my house. One of them lives in north Jersey, the other two I know from a gardening group that I used to be involved in. The gardening people came but the guy quickly left. I was at the house where I grew up. Me and the girl were sitting on the couch. I was offering her beer and coffee but she just wanted water. I was worried that I was boring her because I couldn't keep a compelling convo going. We were sitting with butts touching though on the couch watching tv. Later I went to the fridge to get some food and then I called NM, my friend from No Jers. He answered and said he wouldn't make it. I told him I was mad at him but that I wouldn't hold that anger for that long and it was okay. Next, my landlord called and told me that I couldn't have a party at the house. I told her in strong voice that I wasn't having a party and that she can't regulate that. Suddenly, a party of like 50 people arrived, most were from my high school. I was thrilled about this. The venue became a hybrid of the house I grew up in, my uncle's basement, and the house I currently live in. I saw a guy from my tennis team, CP and we were thrilled to see each other. The party was coming to an end early and I went to see my gf who was doing homework upstairs. There were no partiers upstairs. We slept in a different bed.

      I a different dream, I left work with my co-worker MB. We went to a perfume shop, though both of us thought it would be lame. It wasn't. They had all sorts of scents, condoms, and cds. All these homeless people kept coming in and talking to the woman at the register. This homeless guy who I always avoid in town came in and I got angry but the woman was friendly toward him. When we left we saw another co-worker KY. She was drawing or something. There were some people nearby outside of their cars and they were talking about directions. They were headed to the All Good Music Festival. KY had a gps in her car and she went to get it so that she could give them directions. They were a mix of people reminiscent of some people I once met 10 years ago, with one token crazy hippy who said something hilarious (to us) that all of his fellow travelers were annoyed at.

      In another dream I went on some kind of hike.

      I was at some sort of music festival, behind the stage, OUTSIDE of the festival grounds. There was a full crowd in front of the stage, but I couldn't get in due to a chain link fence with a barbed-wire top. My Chemical Romance were on the stage, and started their set with Famous Last Words. I was rocking out behind the stage, as I could faintly see them. One guy in the crowd noticed I was glancing around for a way in, and he called me over. He handed me a ticket through the fence. I started making my way around the fence toward the front to the entrance, rocking out to MCR the whole way there.

      ...That is all I remember.

    14. 12/04/23 - molestation and fight with ex

      by , 04-12-2013 at 12:44 PM (vignettes from a different world)
      lovely, lovely dreams tonight. nothing particularly unpleasant has been going on in waking life as of late, but these dreams showed up anyhow. slept from about 9 to about 6.

      i have spoilered the more graphic parts of the molestation dream for those of you who might be disturbed by it.

      in the first dream i am driving around my city at twilight. i remember the exact area where i was -- near the intersection of R-----d & R----n.
      Spoiler for click to read:

      later i am in a room with blue walls. there are my little pony posters and merchandise everywhere. i am talking to a woman in her 30s about my experience. i want to tell her the man's name, but i cannot remember it. i get frustrated at this and also about the fact that i am discussing my sexual abuse in a my little pony fanclub.

      in the second dream i am in an unfamiliar house. i am sitting on the couch and i am shocked to discover that my ex is sitting right beside me. for a moment i consider that this could be a dream, but the vivid and detailed imagery convinces me otherwise. i get extremely angry. i start yelling at him, asking "how did you get here?" "why are you here?" i don't get a straight answer. i begin punching and slapping him. he barely fights back.
      i go do something else for a while and i come back to find my ex sitting on a bed crying. i thought he had left and now i get even angrier. i scream at him and throw heavy objects at him. i tell him that i'm going to bed, and if he isn't gone by the time i wake up "something bad will happen".
      i go into my bedroom for a while and then come back. my ex is still there, playing a SNES game on a blue tv. again, i physically attack him and threaten that bad things will happen. i'm furious. the tv says "error, zero zero, error" and then i wake up.
    15. Comeback!

      by , 04-12-2013 at 12:44 PM
      Date: 12/4
      Duration: 3-4 mins
      Method: DILD (remember waking in the morning and intending to do SSILD but falling asleep)
      Scene:
      I was having some ordinary dreams and actually two girls wanted to ask me out on a date the same night (!), that led to the feeling that something was wrong
      I just got the feeling I was dreaming and there was no "visual" dream, only this feeling. I felt a bit frustrated because I thought I was going to wake up any moment so I started to visualize something but it didn't really work out. I then decided to open my eyes, and I was in my room in my mothers house (where I was sleeping because of weekend visit). I did a RC, blocking my nose and after a few sec I knew I was in a dream.

      I thought I should try to do the tasks from the first week because my LD-count has been almost 0 this last weeks. First I decided to throw myself out the window from the second floor of the house. I got a little exited but reminded myself to stay calm and not solidify the window.
      I passed through the window with no feeling of there being one there at all and I flew a short circle in the garden and to get to to the ground I thought about paragliding and leaning to my side to ascend easily. I find it hard to control my flying in dreams and normally I just "float around" with little control. Anyways...

      Once on the ground I decided to do another task and tried to fall backwards. I had no doubt I was dreaming and it wasn't scary at all. I just fell through the ground like one would fall into whipped cream. It was totally wonderful. I was kind of making a tunnel in the ground and it was so soft and cozy!

      Back on the ground I looked around and it was night/dusk and everything had this dreamy glow and extreme contrasts. It was truly beautiful and a man appeared next to me and we were talking about something. And I thought I would try to find a dream guide or "power animal" like the shamans have

      Calling out loudly "I would like to find my power animal" several times, there was a blue, upside-down saucer flying next to my head and I shooed it away. Next thing I know, my dog Loke comes running up the drive way and we greet each other with much joy. I realize this is a common scene from calling him many times in "this" garden and he is most likely not a "power animal" or anything (maybe to some extent), but since my dog moved away from me last summer and I have't seen him since, he appears in my dreams a lot (good dream sign?)

      I wake up.

      Reflection:

      I did 3 RC during the dream, rubbed my hands and affirmed I would have a long and stable dream. I think the reason I got lucid was from drinking a couple glasses of wine last night and the rebound effect got me more or less spontaneously lucid.

      I noticed that when I am dreaming, sometimes, I have no visuals but its just blackness and I am sort of "in my head". This situation often lead to a LD but I can imagine I miss a lot of these occasions because of lack of awareness. My main goal now is to try to get to bed earlier, drink more wine and also get more LDs!

      Puh, long one this time, but its my comeback from mental fog last few weeks.
