Elaboration:
I must have been tired when I wrote that journal, as I didn't elaborate much at all. I cannot remember why I was in Europe, but I rented a truck. This was coincidentally after watching the Family Guy episode making fun of U-Haul trucks being dangerous and allowing anyone to drive it. I took a sharp turn and the truck fell over on one side. When the U.S. Embassy came(U.S. Embassy, really lol?)... Anyway, when they came, I went to a meeting where they explained to me that my insurance was "Liability", not "Comprehensive"... And therefore I would be in debt for the rest of my life paying for the damage to the truck.

I've also noticed that this dream may have a strong influence from the recent car accident my step-mother was in, which I was a first responder to, and perhaps a part of my subconscious... anxiety? about car accidents, having witnessed a few car accidents in my life, including one with my own family.

I wouldn't consider this a "Nightmare", in that I wasn't ever in "Fear" during the dream, but it wasn't exactly pleasant either.

I was in a bed high in the trees, and was censored by dozens of people. When I wanted to get down, there were two choices. One scary and slow, and one fast and painful.

Elaboration on The Bunker:
It originated as a dream of simply being in a garage. The room was exactly the inside of a garage, with some weird industrial stuff inside of it. I don't exactly recall the plot, but I remember that somehow a battle-bot style tank began to chase me, and as I was running, I was going up a winding tunnel that was uphill and veered to the right. In retrospect, this was the first instance I remember of being scared and taking control of the situation... I wished that I had a bigger tank - and suddenly a bigger tank appeared around the corner. I immediately ran over the other tank, and my dream changed to the tall trees.

Elaboration on Tall Trees:
It was a network of tall, tall trees- mainly tree trunks with minimal leaves. Connecting the trees together were incredibly strong vines. The people that lived in the tree village used the vines for everything. Their homes were built into the vines and trees, and they climbed the vines to travel. I found myself tied down in a bed, where the locals took turns doing something of a ... sexual nature ... to me. When they were finished, I remember being scared of climbing back DOWN the vines. The locals told me that there were two ways to go down. I could be afraid for a long time as I crawled down the vines slowly, or I could be scared for a short time as I fell down the vines. They explained that the vines would break my fall, and that it wasn't actually that dangerous.

Addition of the Facebook:
For a brief time after the Tall Trees, I was browsing Facebook, when I stumbled upon one of the females from the village ... I sent a message, and felt desperate to go back to the village...

I attempeted to play RuneScape in class, as well as explain my case to a young classmate named classified. I showed him my English-German dictionary, which was published in 2008. Six years in the future. I planned to relive my childhood, fixing all of my mistakes. Later on, I was in a diner, and I asked if they sold cigarettes. I showed the clerk my ID, which was issued 10 years in the future. She agreed to sell me cigarettes. The dream ended with me desperately trying to come back to the future.

Elaborating on the classroom scene:
I argued with my teacher, during the argument she cussed at me, and I cussed back, but didn't get in trouble. While trying to play RuneScape, I downloaded SwiftSwitch, and found that it had many vulgar "Hacker Subculture" elements to it. Curse words and the such in the coding, etc. RuneScape showed an error when I tried to play it that was incomprehensible. The English-German dictionary was a key part of the dream in that I seemed to have it with me the entire time.

Elaborating on the diner scene:
I don't know why I was suddenly in a diner, or why they sold cigarettes. I neglected to mention that the clerk offered to give me the cigarettes on Tab, but I declined to accept the offer because I had no guaranteed source of income and therefore no collateral to pay her back. This is something I do often in real life because I am unemployed. The dream ended when I sat down on the sidewalk and began to think about the seriousness of the situation I was in. I had gone back in time, smoked, but was underage - and I had no money and had to go through school again. I began worrying about how I was going to cope with reliving my childhood - how I could make the most of it, and then I woke up.

The fragment:
I was taking away dirt from my contact lenses, it was hard corns, like sand.

The dream:
I was on a computer, inside an IRC chat. I chatted with some of my old friends who I haven't been with in over 5 years. I had found a video posted by myself year 2005 on YouTube, the video had 500 000 views. It was somewhat random video where in the middle of the video I danced/shaked like crazy, and therefor reason to that much views I guessed.

That's kind of all I remember. I rememebered the fragment when I woke up, but the dream I could recall a couple of minutes later.

During my flight, I encountered a beautiful female companion. She took me to a sort of "Hive", which was like nothing I've seen before, with spheres in a network serving as housing units. She took me to her unit, where I was introduced to many of my high school aquaintences. The first and only one that I remember was classified.

I don't remember details about the catastrophic events from which we were fleeing. But I remembered the "Hive" with vivid imagery. It was like something out of science fiction. The hive was made of a dark metallic material. The hallways shot out in many directions, including diagonal and up-and down. They were narrow crawlspaces - resembling a "Jeffries Tube" from star trek, except not as well lit. The rooms had a bed, a sofa, a lamp and a desk, and they were perfectly spherical except for the flattened floor. This hive seemed to network through something, like a mountain - so that it could be safe from the outside world.

Does anyone else have wired dreams like me, for example a few days back i had a dream where i was walking home and i was walking on the road for a little while then out of nowhere there was water on the road as if it was a river.

I saw myself in the mirrow and understood that its a dream. Made RC. I was in my old flat. Want nightspy 2 was after the door - open the door - there was fairhaired boy. I noticed that first threesteptask done and disassemble wall outlet. toched the wires - it was so HOT! and I decided to play with elictricity in a distanse - it entered in my hand about 10 santimeters from outlet and i felt warm. Then i decided to swich off lamps and have elictricity in hand - switched off all the lamps. and then i saw the sun on the street and took all it energy in my hand. It became night with stars then i tryed to make third of three step task, i tryed to make portal, paint lines in the air and in the ground and want to move to another place - but nothing

April 18, 12. 10:30pm-6am

I was at Bloomfield Head Start working with Jessica and her teacher's assistant. Today was awesome, we only had four kids and they were the good ones too! The TA was laying on the floor and I had my head on her stomach Jess was walking around to make sure the kids were okay and would sometimes set down to relax. The three of us were talking about everything that came to mind. I mainly remember talking about how nice it was to only have four kids and how good they are. we didn't even have to watch them. One of the parents showed up and we jumped to our feet pretending that we were really doing something. The parent came to pick up her daughter. The little girl looked sad. She looked like Lucrisia, a little girl in Tamera's class. Anyway, mom seen that her daughter was sad and told her, "honey, don't be sad, we will be back tomorrow. i'm not taking you out of school." The little girl smiled and left with her mom. now we had three kids. Jess told me that mom switches schools on her all the time. Jess told me, " in the last year the little girl had been here three different times." "wow," I thought, "so wonder she wasn't happy to see mom so early." everything changed, I was in a store looking at shirts. The store was all white, there were no signs, only clothes. I was looking at a white shirt with black lace in the back. I thought, "I have a shirt similar to this at home. I think ill go home and wear it." My alarm went off and I woke up.-End Dream-

Thoughts- I really had a hard time remembering this dream. I wonder if it ever gets any easier remembering dreams. Ohh, and do I really have to dream about work, I get enough of it during the day.

The dream I had last night involved me going to a city to stay with my dad during his visitation hours, with my brother and sister. Now this city would remind one a lot of Tokyo or even Rio De Janiero on a stormy day. It was rundown, and there were a lot of really tall buildings and skyscrapers, but it was still, how should I put it....A wasteland.

This city was supposedly here in America.

As I was arriving in the city on a plane, the city was being attacked by a monster (supposedly, as I never actually saw it).

The dream faded in and out to another scene where I was running through a trench like system between buildings towards cover under a small stone bridge.

As I entered the space underneath the bridge, I caught sight of a steel door to what looked sort of like a bunker. I entered into it, and closed the door; locking and barring it. The inside of this "bunker" resembled that of a house, but the floor was made up entirely of dirt and small puddles.

I hid in an alcove, waiting for the "monster" to pass. As I was waiting, the steel door started to vibrate viciously as if something was trying to get through it. As the vibrating subsided, I began looking around the building I was in. Towards the steel door was two regular sized rooms across from each other in the hall. Further down the walkway was an alcove on either side. On the left was a couple of windows, a books shelf and a table and chairs.

Past that was another hallway, with smaller rooms containing one bed. There was only enough room for the bed and to open the door in these rooms and that was it.

Then the scene changed and I'm in a different house with my siblings and father. There are three girls there --sisters-- who we apparently know.

We are here for a long time, hiding and waiting until it is safe to go back outside or leave. While we are here, we try to find things to do in our free time, but there really isn't much because we have to be quiet.

At some point, me and the oldest of the three girls end up having sex (I hate dreams like this. There's all this interesting stuff going on, and then something completely random like this happens xD ).

In another scene, planes are flying over the house dropping bombs on the city, which has literally become a post apocalyptic war zone. The sky has turned a bright red color as the planes drop their load. The bombs when they explode, release a poisonous acidy gas that is a vibrant red and if inhaled, becomes a fast acting poison whose symptoms resemble that of radiation poisoning.

The scene changes again, and the chemical has dissipated and it is safe to go outside. Laying outside in a heap are two VERY large lizard creatures, that look vaguely like a cross between Godzilla, a dragon and a Spinosaurus.

The dream ends there, and I wake up.

April 17, 12. 10pm-5am

I was talking to a glowing pink, blue and white ball of light.(it was either one of those skyrim balls of light, or God. I'm not sure.) He had a strong voice, and was telling the rules of the place in was in. I'm not sure where I was.(maybe heaven...) "the light" was telling me there was one of everything and most things could only be used once. I wanted the color green and by old phone back.My dog Rusty wanted something i wanted as well, I kept pushing him back so, he couldn't have it. I told Rusty,"get down, you can't have it, it's mine. Then, "the light" told me about a verse that every body gets at some point of there stay. "Once you complete the assignment it goes to someone else," he informed me. I finally got Rusty to stop and he laid down at my feet. "the light" gave me the verse and told me what to do, I ran off to my car to get started. - End Dream-

Thoughts-

what a odd dream. I remembered more than I thought I did. I think the part with Rusty came from him getting in my face at night and I push him down to my feet.

April 16, 12. 6am

I can't remember anything, not even a face. Last night I was worried about not having enough time to write my dreams down, that may be why. I also have a math test coming up that's stressing me out, that could be why too. i figured it would help to set my alarm early and have a recorder near just encase. i'm so sad, i feel like I have to start over.

When I woke up after having the dream about the Gant Bees, I was lying in bed under the covers on my stomach--the same position I fell asleep in. It was kinda dark but I could see enough to notice that I had two left arms!! I pulled my arm closer to me and looked at the other one which lay motionless. I was partly out of my body.

I sat up, threw back the blanket, and quickly looked around the room, forgetting to check and see if I was actually out of my body. It was kinda dark but it looked exactly the same as the real thing. Then I woke up and did the exact same thing again. The only difference being it was morning and the sun had come up. I laid back down and pulled the blanket up over my head and closed my eyes but didn't go back to sleep because it was nearly time for me to get up and go to college.

Subconscious Chatter

I heard my subconscious chattering away as it usually does right after waking up in the mornings and laying in bed with my eyes open or closed. It said "God, that's not going to work on me." I'm like "huh?.." Usually I'll hear a voice speaking but am unable to tell if it's mine or somebody else. Other times I'll see words or sentences flash before my eyes if I have them shut or I'll see a word or sentence and hear a voice read it to me while I'm wide awake. The way it reads these sentences is not how I read them. So, I thought that was kinda strange.

When I hear these voices, they usually answer a question I've been pondering about the previous day, or they'll answer a question I asked myself while lying in bed. And other times, it'll say something totally random but with a hidden meaning. This crap started near the end of 2011 but I actually think it's kinda cool. Either I'm going insane or the world is about to end.

Back to sleep. I'm walking down a dirt road through a forest. I come to a small off-road clearing of sand. At this point, I am am fully lucid. I decide to try to summon my dream guide by calmly calling out to them. I didn't want to overexert myself and wake myself up. No one came.

I continued walking until I came to a narrow path with walls made of wood on both sides of it. Before I entered the path, I looked around and saw two fat women sitting at a table with a laptop in front of each of them. They were also wearing headphones and they were tracking the movements of some drug cartels via satellite. I reached into my back pocket and pulled out a device that allowed me to time travel. I checked the date and it said the year was 2080 something. I forgot the month, day, and time. Then I warped.

I arrived in the exact same area and checked it again. It now reads September 9, 1923. I looked around a bit. The women weren't there, of course, and the path looked plainer. But it had these logs sticking out of the dirt walls which were wooden in the future. I decided to go and see where this path led. As I exited the path on the other side, I saw a small, partly destroyed city, with these humongous bees flying over it and terrorizing the townspeople. Those bees were bigger than cars.

The people were killing these bees by throwing giant red strawberries at them... These strawberries were about 4 ft. in height but very light. I know this because I remember throwing one at a bee. Whenever they threw a giant strawberry at one of these bees, the bee would grab it with its legs, stick a stinger into it, and use up their stinger, which in turn killed the bee. The townspeople were stacking bodies of giant bees in a pile in the center of town. I woke up.

A similar music track played during the training part of this dream:


I'm some sort of private investigator, and I'm searching for evidence with 2 coworkers in an apartment.
I quickly realize that I don't seem to have any gloves on me and ask one of my friends to give me some.
After putting on the gloves I go to the kitchen and start opening all the cabinets.
I wonder what I'm looking for...

"Hey, what are we looking for again?"
"Are you serious?"
"Uuh... yeah..."
"*sigh* we're looking for a quantum accelerated pipe."

... wait what?

"Like, for smoking?"
"For smoking weed, yes."

A quantum accelerated... wtf?
I keep searching and end up finding the most glorious of smoking devices I have ever seen.
It seems to be made out of some sort of glass and it glows in all kinds of colors, depending on how you angle it against the light.
But then finally it dawns on me... a quantum accelerated pipe... yeah... right...

I rub my hands and further investigate the pipe.
I am sad to find out that it isn't loaded. I would have loved to smoke some weed.

I remember that Yuya told me that I should break out of the dream plot when I become lucid.
Oh! And she wanted to teach me about time dilation!
I become very excited and quickly teleport myself to Teraluna.

I end up in a flower garden. Yuya is attending to some flowers right in front of me.

"Yuya Yuya Yuya"
"Hi?"
"Hi! Time dilation and stuff!"

She grins.

"Calm down! You're going to wake up."

Right...
After attempting to get myself into a calmer state I take a look at my surroundings.
The flower garden is beautiful. All of the flowers are very colorful and they smell great.
I touch and smell some of them until I decide that the dream is perfectly stable.

"So... the thing you call time dilation."
"Yes!"
"Well, for starters it isn't really time dilation."
"I guess. I couldn't think of a better word to describe it."
"Right. So, there's quite a few ways to approach this."
"I'm pretty sure I know which way works best for you, but first of all we need to work on something else."
"Oh?"
"Well, it's sort of directly related."
"Sure, what is it?"
"Your awareness in dreams."
"I've noticed that you sometimes are extremely aware when you're here, but only for short periods of time."
"You experience awareness in short bursts rather than continuously"

I quickly realize that she's spot on about that.

"Yeah, now that you mention it, it's pretty bad."
"Good, so first of all I am going to show you a technique to hold a certain level of awareness."
"Great!"

She drops the flowers.

"Let's go for a walk!"

We walk through the flower garden and talk some more about time dilation.

"Alright, stop!"
"Hm?"
"I want you to tell me the color of each flower on the plant we just passed, without looking."
"Err, sure? Let's see... it was green, yellow, blue, yellow..."
"No, you're cheating."
"I am?"
"You're using your sense of global awareness to tell what color they are without looking, what I need you to do is to remember what color they are."
"What? All of them?"
"Yes! I want you to remember every single detail of what you experience."
"Let's keep walking and pay attention."

This is going to be hard... like, really hard.
Is it even possible to do this?

"Sure it is, especially since you're dreaming. Remember when I told you the difference between focusing on something in waking life and in dreams?"
"Oh yeah, that's right."

I focus really hard on everything I see, even the smallest of details, and try to take mental note of them.
We walk past a similar plant, with approximately 50 flowers on it.

"From top to bottom, go!"

I try to remember and surprisingly, accessing my memories feels natural and easy.

"Red, red, yellow, blue, yellow... err, ultraviolet?, red, blue, blue..."

I keep going through about 20 of them until Yuya stops me.

"Hey hey, awareness!"
"What? Was I wrong?"
"No, but you're neglecting your awareness. Have you noted the details of the things we just passed?"
"Oh... oops. Wow, this is hard."
"Haha, see, just memorizing and remembering is easy."
"What I want to teach you is to remain aware of your surroundings, even if you are focusing on something else."
"If you can do that you should be able to continuously remain aware much more easily."

This makes so much sense!
Yuya is so amazing, why haven't I asked her about this before?

We keep doing this. I memorize all the flowers including other details and try to recite them from memory without loosing awareness of the new surroundings I encounter through walking.
It's really hard at first, but then it becomes surprisingly easy.
I feel like a genius, having such amazing memory all of a sudden.

Since I focus so hard on my vision, it becomes more and more intense.
I can see beyond the color spectrum visible to the human eye.
Ultraviolet and infrared, I can see them so clearly.
They aren't red or violet at all, they are entirely different colors.
The now 5 base colors start merging together to form new ones.
Everything is so beautiful.

It is so hard not to get distracted by this beauty. I have to remain aware of everything.
But it works! I can quite literally feel my awareness leveling out and remaining strong as I go along.

Yuya keeps asking me more and more difficult questions.

"How did this plant smell like?"

I can no longer answer these question with words, so I project my memories towards her, showing that I remember clearly.
We go on like this for some more minutes.
I feel like I have just achieved something major.
I have never ever experienced such an amount of focus.

We finally reach the end of the flower garden.

"And stop!"
"Okay?"
"Yep, time to relax, you cannot possibly keep this up much longer."
"Oh, I can't? It started to feel natural some moments ago."
"Still, if you keep that level of focus up for too long your brain will just spontaneously break out of it."
"You'll either loose all your awareness or even wake up."
"So it would be a bad idea to try and do this all the time?"
"Yes. You can do it for a limited period of time, for example during a battle where you need the extra focus."
"What I'm teaching you is to remain at a constant level of awareness."
"The important part here is that it is constant, not that it is on a level where you have surreal perception and memory."
"The goal is to never let it drift below a certain threshold, this way dream stability should remain high."

I understand her so well, her explanations are perfect.

"It's just more efficient for you to learn it this way."
"Not everyone is capable of achieving such a level of focus."
"It's something you often find in dreamers that are experienced with dream battles."

Dream battling has so many uses, how amazing.

"So dream stability is directly related to your level of awareness?"
"Well, yes, sort of. It's complicated."
"It always is."
"Actually, it is really simple... like most things."
"Yeah right."
"It's the painfully simple things the human mind cannot comprehend."
"After all your mind is trained to understand the complexity of the waking world, not the simplicity of the dream world."

Wow. That is deep.
I have never thought of it this way.
Yuya never ceases to amaze me.
She just drops these mind blowing ideas on me, as if they were the most obvious things in existence.

"Should I try to do this awareness technique in waking life?"
"No. At least not right now. You said you have constant headaches."
"Yeah, probably a bad idea."

She smiles and gives me a big hug.

"We'll continue this next time."
"Wake up and write this down so you don't forget it."
"I will! Until next time!"

Wake up... Have I ever tried waking up from a dream that wasn't a nightmare?
Heck, even a nightmare I haven't tried to wake up from in forever.
I close my eyes and command myself to wake up with my inner voice.
I feel a tingling sensation all over my body.

I open my eyes.
A quick nose plug RC confirms that I am awake and I start taking notes, excited to have taken my first step towards properly long dreams.

April 15, 12. 9:45pm - 2:15am

I was trying to remember my licence plate number and I asked Robert to go look, when he came back he tolled me, "6 2 4 N S U". I needed it because I was ordering music from BMG music club. I was laying on the floor looking through one of the magazines and wishing I could find some of the metal I listen to on Pandora radio. -End dream-

-Thoughts-
I had a second dream, but I focused so much on my first dream I forgot everything, but "a bean bag chair".

3:00am - 6:39am

I was at work and Robert came with me. Carrie (my boss) asked Robert to fix the roof. It was Sams week; the teachers try to get fathers, brothers... so on and so fourth, to volunteer and do work or play with the kids. I don't know what teacher I was with this morning, but all seventeen kids were there.Robert and I were talking as we headed outside. I was thinking,"I wonder if Corey is going to be here today". Just then, i turned and there he was setting in the grass, smiling at me. My heart jumped, as it always does when I see that smile. Then I looked over at Robert, He was bent over the roof having a having a hard time getting up on the roof. I watched for a moment, to stare at that sexy butt. I laughed, and helped him up. Robert gave me a kiss and thanked me for the help, he had the sexiest look in his eyes. I smiled and thought,"man I wish he was like this all the time."I climbed down and all the kids were playing, Corey was just setting in the grass. "Corey needs to get out there and play with the kids," I thought. So I went a grabbed a box of balls and took the purple and green one before all the kids ran off with all of them. I put the ball on the ground and kicked it towards Corey and yelled,"come on Corey, lets play." Corey looked at me with that smile again and Corey's son kicked the ball. I ran over to it and kicked it towards Corey again, he got up to kick it, but his son got it first. Corey and I laughed, then all three of us began to play for a while. Corey's son got bored and went off to play with other kids. Corey and I started to talk about our past. We were way in the back of the play ground. Corey told me, "you know. i have really missed you". "i missed you too, i'm so glad to see you with a better life", I replied. "That's not what i mean, I should not have let you go," he said. "well, I guess it's to late now i'm married, and you have a kid," I said. Oh and a wife or girlfriend, what is she anyway?" I asked. "My girlfriend," he said as he put his arms around me. The playground was empty now, all but Corey and I. I'm not sure were Robert was. "What are you doing Corey, Robert is on the roof!" I whispered. "do you want him to see us?" I added. "I don't care about him Jessi, I just want to hold you in my arms again," he said, with love in his voice. He almost had tears in his eyes. Corey was on top of me now, holding me with love. "But Corey, what about your girlfriend, don't you love her?" I asked. "No, i'm just with her because i love my son," He replied. Corey ran his finger tips through my hair and kissed my forehead. i didn't want to move as we stared into each others eyes. I had i brief thought about Robert, but it was gone as fast as I thought it. Just as i was going to ask Corey if he loves me there was an explosion right behind us. pieces of fence flew by us and the rest of the fence fell in flames. Corey and I jumped to our feet and Robert came out of nowhere and put his arm around me in a side hug. I hoped he had not seen Corey and I earlier. The smoke cleared, there were hundreds of armored men on horses.(they looked like the daedra off skyrim) The leader looked at us and declared that we are to be his prisoners. Before any of us could speak we were tied up and on the backs of horses galloping through fire. I heard screams and seen women running half naked away from the armored men. Tree armored men were taring a woman's clothes off and rapping her. Some how we arrived at a swamp, the armored men through us around a tree branch, tied us there and left. I looked around, there was me, Corey, Robert, Corey's son and a little girl i didn't know. A boomerang flew over us, cutting the ropes. We fell to the ground, I stood up dusting myself off. As I looked around, I wondered who the little girl was. All the scenery got sucked up. -End Dream-

Thoughts-

Booyah! i finally remembered a whole dream. It's weird how feelings can really come out in dreams.
