    1. Video Game/ Lounging in a Pool

      by , 08-01-2012 at 02:10 AM (Second Reality Experiences)
      The dream starts out in which I am playing a video game, but I am seeing everything in the perspective of the game itself (I don't see my hands on a controller). The game is an interesting one. The main playable character is a girl with flowing black hair. It reminds me of Assassin's Creed, but a female version. The setting takes place during the renaissance and I am walking through cobblestone streets and alleys. As I level up my character her appearance changes, her hair becomes longer, and the design of the clothing she wears changes patterns and becomes more intricate. There is a quick cut scene and some unrecognizable pop music plays, although I would say it was dark gothic in style...like this



      The character gets in what i can only describe as a big metal trench that water flows through and that people use for washing their laundry in. She hides by swimming through it into a sewer system where the water empties out. As the character gets out and starts walking I realize I am dreaming.


      Suddenly my field of vision shifts from 3rd person to 1st. I am the character, except I am in my own body now. I'm walking walking in this dark passage in the sewer and my sister suddenly appears behind me. Before I can say anything I hear shuffling ahead and get a stab of fear. The sound moves closer and suddenly I see them. The sound is coming from these huge ferocious rat-like rodents.
      I know it's a dream but this took me by surprise and I don't have anything to defend myself with. All I can think of to do is pull my hands out and point my fingers into the shape of a gun.

      "Bang!" I yell, pretending to shoot them.

      Surprisingly one falls over dead, and the others scamper away in fear. That was surprisingly easy. I turn the corner and kill a few more in the same manner.
      I see light up ahead and as we push forward the sewer opens up into a hidden spanish terrace with a pool. There is a lot of debris and the buildings surrounding the pool seem to be crumbling away as if they had been abandoned. Dark clouds loom overhead. My sister Ashley dives into the pool and begins swimming. Three white belugas appear in the water and greet me as i come to sit at the edge of the pool. I pet one of them on the head.

      "We should get going," I say aloud. "We only have so much time before I wake up."

      Then I look at the scenery and change my mind. Usually in lucid dreams I feel like it's a race. I feel rushed to experience as much as possible which in turn actually causes me to wake up sooner. Everything is so relaxing and peaceful right now. Ashley surfaces next to my dangling legs.

      I look at my sister, "Don't you wish we could stay in a dream like this forever?"


      "Yeah!" she says happily.

      I notice a couple of random DCs show up at the pool, and as I try to figure out who they are everything is gone. I'm awake in my bed.

    2. Almost lucid! Boo!

      by , 08-01-2012 at 01:46 AM
      So I ALMOST attained full lucidity.

      In this dream, one of my dream characters had been attacking me and while anticipating that attack, I suddenly had this realizing that it was a dream. When she came in and started attacking me, I kept screaming that it was a dream over and over again.. Instead of gaining control over the dream, I woke up altogether.

      Is there no way for me to remain asleep after that?

    3. Tiny Lights; Eating; Giant Horses; Base Guitar Guys; God spoke to me

      by , 08-01-2012 at 01:36 AM (* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***)
      Tiny Lights
      A few nights ago I dreamed I saw lights in the sand the size of a grain of sand. They were blue and green and maybe yellow. I scooped up some sand and got several in my hand. I tried to sift the sand out of my hand leaving just the lights.

      This is residue from my fiber optic interests.

      Eating

      Over that last few days I had a dream where I was eating fish and one where I was eating a snow cone being very mindful of the texture.

      The fish leathery on one side, but tender on the other. I wanted the tender, flaky part. The one where I was eating the snow cone was residue of doing a lot of research on shaved ice machines for a snow cone trailer I'm thinking about buying.
      ________________

      Two giant horse-like creatures were moving towards eachother sideways. I was between them. A girl helped me get up one to avoid being smooshed. It was buff colored.

      I was on my stomach over the horses back trying to get over it more so I would be positioned more evenly.

      The horse then started walking around a center structure. I thought when it came full circle, I might be able to get off.

      Dream Skip

      I was in a room trying to sleep. I looked outside and there were 4 guys playing base guitar. I remember all of them had bases with different shapes and color. I kept looking for a guy with a white bass, but he wasn't there.

      Dream Skip

      Then I heard God talking to me (I'm not a God person). I was so happy that God finally indicated he wanted a "relationship" with me. In my belief system, invisible things have to some how make themselves perceived, or I must some how discover them, to believe in them.

      So there I was. God was talking to me. He told me I needed to start talking to my Mom again. This bothered me, but I thought that if God wanted me to do it, that was easy enough to achieve.

      I decided to make amends with my Mom, but then it was my Dad that I was going to make up with. I used to fight with my dad all the time.

      I found myself up on a hill looking down at my Dad's house (it was different than in waking life). My brother was coming out, fighting with my dad. I needed to figure out how to get in the house without being notice so I could get some stuff and get out.

      Dream skip to some other location. I asked a woman if God had ever spoken to her. She said "Yes." I told her God just spoke to me, but I mean SPOKE to me for real. I heard it!

      She said, yea, he's Irish. I said, "YEAH! HE'S IRISH!"...and then I remembered his voice as being Irish, which it wasn't when I heard him.

      I don't believe in God any more after that dream, but it was awesome having such a dream. This was the second intense dream about God that I've had.

    5. Thieves

      by , 07-31-2012 at 10:30 PM
      I was in my bedroom, the layout of the furniture's different. The bed is right next to the window, and the desk is right behind the bed, so the bed is almost like a closed off nest. I was fixing things on my desk and I looked up, seeing these 2 men standing around at the end of the street. I closed the window thinking I locked it. When I looked again, they were right in front of the window asking me questions or selling me something. I pretended to be interested and told them to come in at the front door but I know their intention was to rob the house. I walked away slowly but they were still standing by the window. I saw my mom walking toward the room and screamed that there are thieves. I turned around and the men were in the room. I started cursing at them and pushed them out of the room. I yelled some more and pushed them out the front door. The adults in the house was surprised that I have the strength to push them out myself. I was surprised that I'm cursing in front of adults. I went back to my room and checked the window, I pushed the window and it opened. I closed it again and saw a latch on the right side of the window, then I realized that I didn't actually lock it in the first place. I looked out the window, and the men were back at the end of the street.

    6. 12 days later..

      by , 07-31-2012 at 10:24 PM (WILD attempts log)
      Once again my inconsistency has hit me. After a while of failure it just seems so tempting to stop caring. Anyway..
      I was on vacation for seven days and basically couldn't have an alarm ringing in the middle of the night because I'd wake up others. I did attempt to wake up in the middle of the night with mantras etc., but for the most part failed for different reasons.
      One time I laid down and hit what felt like SP. My whole body was feeling vibrations and tingling, but then I couldn't progress from there. I laid still and nothing happened. After a while I got up and did a RC which failed. It all felt very dreamy, and in the morning I thought I might just have dreamed it all, but then I guess the RC wouldn't have failed? Anyway, it's the only thing close to progress yet, and it really isn't..
      The last two days I've woken up after 6:15 and done a WBTB. I've failed on both days because the WBTB wasn't long enough and I ended up falling asleep and losing focus. Tonight I'll have to do a longer WBTB and really put some effort into this.

      I'm feeling that my technique - with the counting and all - isn't working very well for me. Maybe I'm just being impatient, but it really feels like it either keeps me wide awake (after a long WBTB) or I accidentally stop counting and fall asleep (after a short WBTB).. I'm not sure what else try, though.

    7. Sims 3

      by , 07-31-2012 at 10:07 PM (Fennecgirl's Collection of Dreams)
      I could remember five dreams when I woke up this morning. Five! That's got to be a new record for me!

      Anyway, I'm not going to bother writing down all five... if I can even remember them anymore. I'm just going with the one I remember best.

      I was playing The Sims 3. I had a pregnant Sim waiting to go up the Duquesne Incline. I was trying to get her husband to come; he was at home, hosting a pool party. I was trying to figure out how to get all the guests to leave so he could go meet his wife. Suddenly, she went into labour. I tried selecting the husband and then clicking on her to get the option for him to take her to the hospital, but that option didn't appear.
    8. Silence is a Virtue

      by , 07-31-2012 at 09:15 PM (Sleep as a Hobby)

      A day is cold; a girl can see her own breath of life.
      A dusty glass window beside is covered with frost,
      A little girl not older than ten is locked outside on a veranda.

      The sky is darkening to icy blue
      It is reaching for her; a cold thing, a dark thing.
      Hands as white as bone and snow
      She crouches and clenches her legs tightly
      Warmth sieves through her claws like desert sand.

      Whimpering,
      She desperately bangs a glass… locked door beside.
      Daddy, let me out! I won’t cry, let me out!
      Is he sleeping?

      Her runny nose is red like Rudolf,
      Not Santa, she whispers herself, not Santa.
      Clever girl knows it was her dad dressed in Santa.

      Shivering, she punches a sliding glass door, bang.
      Making noise might wake him up.

      But… she drops her hand feebly.
      He hates noise; he hates a child crying like a child.
      A bitter dry cold was too much for a little girl.
      Her body is numbing with stiff pain and blue,
      Her thumbs have dry crevices trickling with blood.

      He won’t let me out, till I give the right answer.
      Silence will unleash the sentence
      The obedient girl keeps her breath as silent as possible.

      Santa doesn't like crying kids.
      Only the dripping sound of tears fills the air

      Daddy let me out.

    9. Lifeguarding

      by , 07-31-2012 at 09:12 PM
      7/31/12

      I had work at a community pool, so me and my friend Jacob went there. We sat down on a log with lifeguard tubes, but nobody else was there. My replacement, SK, came and told me to go home. I didn't, and after that she disappeared. I crossed a wooden bridge into a treehouse which was supposed to be the guardroom. My sister was standing there, and she said that it was 3:45 and she came to bring me home.

    11. Math, A Gun and Rachel

      by , 07-31-2012 at 07:10 PM
      I was doing math, and looking for someone. Trying to catch someone. I feel like I was reading through A Tour of the Calculus, looking at his proof regarding instantaneous velocity. There was much more to the scenario, but I can't hold it in my mind. My sister was there. At the end, we all went to a UWA football game. Grammy, Paw-Paw and a lady that was supposed to be Mrs. Rose but that we called Aunt Betty Jo were already there. We went up to the concession stand, I was gonna get wings and a sprite. Then my alarm woke me up.

      Woke up for about 20 minutes. Was gonna attempt a WILD, but felt pretty sick, just fell asleep. In this dream, some girl and I were traveling with some lady, was was going to teach us some kind of supernatural skill, I believe. We were in a large hotel, a few floors up, in a city. She leaves, comes back, and I see she has a gun. She pulls it on the girl, telling her to write. I quickly move to the lady, wrest control of the gun from her, point it at her head, and pull the trigger. No round comes out, it just clicks. So we run. We get downstairs, and Rachel over to a little corner store thing, buys a copy of Cosmopolitan, and gets really excited. The girl has become Rachel by this point. Turns out, she had written an article for it. Something about under-appreciated artists, or something of the sort. I remember a picture from the article. A girl was performing some song, I assume, standing on top of a bull, and Rachel was down at the base cheering and looking very excited. At this point, Rachel runs off, and someone else we know, Becca maybe, who we have just run into since coming downstairs, asks me why I always have to steal her thunder, in regards to asking Rachel about her story and taking all the credit as the excited friend, I guess.

      And I was about to attempt a WILD, as I'm feeling a lot better, but the apartment just woke up.

      by , 07-31-2012 at 06:57 PM (Lunar Chronicles)
      A rather vague night of dreaming, I didn't have time in the morning to recall so I don't have much.

      Dream 1:
      I cut my hair for some reason, the cut was right through the middle and i thought i would look really stupid. After looking in the mirror my hair actually looked really good and stylish. Pity I didn't go lucid :/

      Dream 2:
      Some girl was standing in front of me persistently showing me what she does as reality checks. She was bouncing around and doing something with her hand. To be honest she was annoying me and I just wanted her to go away.

    13. When Did We Become A Resort?, My Demon Pals

      by , 07-31-2012 at 06:04 PM
      #1 - When Did We Become A Resort? [Non-Lucid]

      I don't recall too much about this dream, but I do remember that I was with my family staying at some sort of resort, except the setting was actually just our house. There was some woman in a fancy (and shiny, if memory serves) dress doing inspections around the house/resort, so I had to make sure to hide all of the drug-related stuff in my room before she got there so I wouldn't get in trouble. There had been a lot of drug nonsense going on earlier in the parts of the dream I can't really remember, but I do remember a flash of flying a magic carpet through skyscrapers in a downtown area on LSD. Anyway, the lady showed up and did her inspection, and all that really comes back about it was that I had the slightest desire to try to steal the woman's body from her. There was also some comment about how people kept trying to give us these rectangular cheesecake slices for free, claiming that they were "flannel cake", because it was his birthday. After that, I woke up.

      #2 - My Demon Pals [Non-Lucid]

      I was walking around my old high school/a wedding that a bunch of people I knew from school were at. Walking around with me were two demon spirits: a skinny, normal-looking guy except for the fact that his face (and especially eyes) just gave off that feeling of evil, and a big, buff guy wearing a fedora and with a cannon for an (at least one) arm. Cannon guy was causing mayhem by shooting cannonballs everywhere, and I was just laughing. There may have been some of my normal friends with me too, but it's hard to remember now. I saw this girl I've known since really early in school, KR, running by me in a wedding dress holding a leash and a long wire for some reason, and I took the wire from her and kept running alongside her. A bunch of other people from the school started running with us and I had the feeling that we were racing each other to this one special location we were all headed towards, just to be like we were carefree kids again like in school. That was fun. However, that image was becoming fainter as it went on, and then I woke up into sleep paralysis. My entire room felt like it was encompassed with a powerful energy, things were constantly pulsing and waving, and my vision was somewhat blurry and distorted, and a bit doubled. There was also a loud white noise that sounded like some kind of demonic language, and occasionally words could be pulled out of it but they didn't have any meaning. I was lying on my back so it was hard to look too far down, but I saw the same skinny demon spirit from the dream standing at the end of my bed, staring at me with those evil eyes. Hey there, specter. I reached out a fantasy arm to him (as my real one was still quite paralyzed), and I felt my imaginary limb twist and bend along with the rest of the energy in the room. The demon just stared at me longer and I tried to give him an "Aw, come on." type of face, but then it all faded away and I was just lying in bed normally. Too bad, I would've liked to see where that could've gone. >w<

    15. July 31, 2012 - I Am Legend's Friend

      by , 07-31-2012 at 05:56 PM (Jenos's Garden of Dreams)
      This one is really bugging me. I can't figure out for the life of me whether this is an old dream that has reoccurred or just my brains re-enactment of a movie I saw a long time ago, but it seems so familiar. (and no, it's not I Am Legend)

      Zombies and Vampires And Mutants, Oh My!
      Non-Lucid: I had remembered more of this dream when I woke up, but I procrastinated and now only remember some scenes. The earliest I can remember is being in a run down house. It was mid-day, with me were 4 or 5 other people, at least two of them were women. At my side stood Roland Deschain (from the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, if you're familiar with it) or some character like him. Inside this old, abandoned shack we made a plan. You see, recently the town had been overrun with some kind of virus, or mutation. The world had moved on and we were getting ready to go with it. We had a plan now.

      West of this little dusty rundown shack was a car garage, and west of that was some kind of forge or factory. The gunslinger next to me would run to the car garage and get a car working while the rest of us would run to the factory. and so we did.

      The factory turned out to be a small industrial building, it sat in the center of a fairly large, empty plane of pavement surrounded by a brown wooden fence that was seeing it's final days. The four or five of us, two women, one white with short blonde hair, the other black also with short hair that was black. The two or three men I fail to remember. The building has large doors on each side favoring the far side of the building, big enough to let a bus enter. Inside it the floor is flat, and on the left it promptly slopes up onto another level the was 2-3 feet higher that ground level.

      As soon as we enter the little building (about the size of a small hangar if that helps you put it into perspective) the horde of zombie-vampire-mutants arrived. We sealed the doors, short haired blonde was yelling orders. The short but wide dust coated windows, were blocked out from the light by the spider-like creatures. Short haired blonde and the black women are now brandishing machine guns (I couldn't tell you the exact type). The door I was facing was immediately blown open despite the barricades placed. one or two people go down, and we book it back to the car garage where the gunslinger waits for us to get in.

      I hop in the car, short blonde hair does as well, but the other 2-3 don't make it. The car is dusty, the interior was home to brown leather seats and the rest was black. The windows were almost entirely darkened from the afternoon light as a result of the mutant-zombie-ninja-turtles hugging the crap out of the car. We take off, dream ends.

      As a side note, I had a dream that I was on Whose Line Is It Anyway, it was fun and a shame I can't remember it.
