First I'm in a bunch of people that are being moved from a city to another area, where the water is clean. We need to stand on boxes and they are using an excavator to throw us into a truck. A womans leg is severed in the process and flies of the truck. A young girls asks if she is alright and she say it's okay, since there will be clean water where they're taking us. The destination seems to be a large concrete facility. There is a large pool of water flowing trough the building. The girl is swimming with the woman, with her leg now back in place. They are happy to be able swim but the water is not good for drinking. We go looking for drinking water. Second I'm in a store and there is a counter with drinks, coffee and such. The others order what they want and when it's my turn I just want water. There is a self service automat for water but what comes out seems moldy and dirty. I ask what's going on and a service person gives my water from the faucet in the kitchen. After we get the drinks we apparently need to pay them at the checkout. I join the line even though I just have water. I don't know if it costs anything. Third At the coffee place with N. I see the name of a comic their selling. It's in some language I only speek a little. N notices it and tells me what one of the words in the title means. I know another one and we are happy we have decoded the whole title. We sit at a table with three other people. The seem to be speaking at least two different languages. I comment about on of them, a gir, being able to speak three European languages, but not English, which I think is weird since English is so usefull. She understands me and replies to me in Finnish. I'm impressed since she actually knows four European languages.
Ah yeah, my first attempt at a sleep was actually at 3:30 after the last day of school today. So I’ll just skip day 1.1 Now, I’m not really the kind of guy to have naps or go to sleep early, depending on your definition of an early time to go to sleep. So, I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes and tried to drift off, not much luck. I got up at about twenty five minutes since laying down and just got back up, not too exciting. I will definitely be able to fall asleep at 10:30 PM though. So hopefully that will be more amusing.
As I journal my adaptation I’ll use this key. Day x=The actual 24 hour day I’ve been doing it. Fourth of April day 1. Fifth of April day 2 etc. x(decimal point)x=The period I’m awake after a sleep. So Day 1.1 would be after I wake up from my 5:30 AM sleep Day 1.2 will be after I wake up from my 3:30 PM sleep Day 1.3 will be after I wake up from my 10:30 PM sleep Make sense? Okay, good.
Hey everyone. This blog will follow me on my journey to adapt to a polyphasic sleep schedule. That is, sleeping more than one time during the day. This may be a foreign idea to you but it has become quite popular especially due to the power of the internet. Polyphasic is an umbrella term for a variety of sleeping schedules reducing the amount of time you sleep from two to five hours. I will be attempting one called Triphasic. As you can probably guess, that’s three times a day. 5:30-7:00 AM Sleep 1 7:00-3:30 PM Wake 1 3:30-5:00 PM Sleep 2 5:00-10:30 PM Wake 2 10:30-12:00 AM Sleep 3 12:00-5:30 AM Wake 3 As I go to school from 8:30 to 2:50 every weekday I needed one where I could have a long enough gap for school. This was the best one. I’m doing this mainly because it’s something different, as well as the fact that you get more time during the day. If you are interested, the internet has lots of resources and trypolyphasic.com is a pretty good forum to go to for advice and general discussion.
I am staying in a hosue with a bunch of other people who are all vegan and keep eating the food I'm buyinga classroomat a museum with Noelle, my sis, and others. The museum is in Europe. Noelle loses her sunglasses. Someone tells us we should go through the museum lost and found and get some new/old ones. We should leave the museum and go straight to the airport, but Noelle and I get in a fight and she storms off. I have a scooter and am riding it through the coblestone streets, trying to find her. Her phone number is not in my phone, so I keep calling Melissa, Lauren, and other people to get it. I end up at a cupcake bakery. Eventually, I realize I will have to leave her if I can't find her.my cat, Morrissey, in a car
I am taking a summer college course. I miss the Monday morning class, but still have to show up for the evening exam. For the exam everyone is required to wear a white shirt, black pants, black vest, and black tie. I wait until the last minute and am scrambling to put on clothes. There is a blonde guy there who is also going to take the test and we are going to ride there together. I am finally at the exam, but have forgotten my pencil and the test which I was supposed to bring with me. There is info on the chalkboard, but it keeps changing every few minutes, like a projector on a timer. All of the text on the chalkboard is steady. Suddenly, I am in another dream. I am at an Aveda meeting. We all have to go around the circle and tell about our weekend. Desiree says she saw Noelle's band play. I also saw Noelle play and took a math test for my summer cosmetology course.
I am in a house with white walls. It is one of my aunts' house. It is also a restaurant, but has only one table.something about a flood
on the runa sevret room by the beachkittensa gril following me
I walk into something like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. There are many adults standing at the entrance and I immediately get an eerie feeling. I feel that I have been here before and that there is a menacing overtone. The colors are bright and vivid, but there is a slight sickly hue to them. I look up, and there are ominous grey, swirling clouds above. I get the feeling that this place is designed to lure kids in and kill them. I pull a small, yellow gumdrop from a bush to eat it. As I am about to eat it, I realize I am concentrating on imagining what a gumdrop taste like. I realize it is a dream and become lucid. I eat the gumdrop anyway and it tastes like nothing. Even though I am lucid, I cannot remember my stabilization techniques or any goals, so I stay in the dream. Next, I am in a dark room, a secret backroom of the candy factory. Lauren and another girl are there. We have guns and are setting traps to free the kids. There is a door with a glass window on the back of the room. At some point this morphs into another landscape and turns into another dream. Now, I am standing outside a large building with a group of people. I realized I had fallen back into the dream, but become lucid again. I look at my hands to stabilize,, then shoot up into the sky. I hover for a secon high in the air and look down at the clouds below me. They are turbulent and breathtakingly beautiful. Rolls of grey merge flecks of rainbow. I find the dream hard to stabilize doing this, so I return to the ground and tell everyone there this is a dream. I attempt to prove it by hovering in lotus position, but everyone seems unimpressed. I then remember I want to find my DG, and go flying around, yelling for him. I fly through an airport and up an escalator. I hear someone saying "guide" and ask fi they know about my dream guide. They are only talking about tour guides, though
Codey’s Dream Journal. Day 1 - 3/30/2012 something about a cliff, crowded Ocean? lots of blue. Day 2 - 3/31/2012 Woke up twice last night, each time, I got closer to where I wanted to be. The first time, I woke up last night, All I could jot down before going back to sleep were these words. “Purple Creature. Confused. Fighting. Cat lady w/ sword.” The last thing I remember before falling asleep was thinking about Ty’s Form. Second dream is much more clear. I woke up in my backyard as a friend pulled up, getting out with his wife (ex?) but for some reason, I didn’t feel like opening my eyes. His wife walked over to me and kept poking me in the shoulder, but I still didn’t actually open my eyes. (for the record, I knew my eyes were closed, but I could still see. I should have done a RC.) one more of my friends showed up and handed me a bag that kept dropping manga. but the bag itself was empty when you looked inside. From being outside, my dream shifted to inside a house I used to live in before moving to Colorado. I think it was the house in Newport? I looked outside, and the meadow was there. (I didn’t realize it at first, but when I did, I woke up.) lucid here? maybe.? Tonight I will make it there. Day 3- 4/1/2012 Nap Time: In the future, people are being ruled by aliens, being bred to fight in a war not made by humans. I am Danny Phantom. (lolwat?) Day 4 I did not sleep last night the nap I took royally screwed my sleep schedule, so I’m waiting until tonight. THe nap didn’t go too well, had some stuff I needed to do, and so I couldn’t really lie down. Can’t wait for tonight. Day 5 I had literally ZERO dream recall last night, but I woke up twice. once, I had DP. hoping I may have went lucid. Read more: http://cmcdreamstuff.proboards.com/i...#ixzz1r24wbVMf
(Trying out a new format. Hooray!) Dream Type: Non-Lucid Mood: Awkward, Angering, Somewhat Eerie Settings: Gamestop... Somewhere. Characters: My friend Anthony. During the start of the dream, not much comes to mind besides me driving on a strange freeway, which is strange. I usually never take the freeway, much less have to. Still, I was in a car that I did not know very well, though I was driving with my friend Anthony who has made our friendly relationship very awkward because of his advances to try to 'get with me', even though I am not gay. So in this dream, things were much the same. We were quiet in the car. We barely said a word to each other, until we got to our destination; Gamestop, which is also strange, because I don't see why I'd go on a freeway to get to Gamestop, when they have a store right up the street from where I live. Whatever, still, we poofed into the shop. I was apparently looking for a game (dunno what else I would be doing there...) and so I looked around. He suggested a few games, all of which seemed uninteresting or just dumb. I then found a game, which I thought was Fable II, but in reality was not. Still, I waited in line with the game, while he awkwardly waited next to me in a submissive stance that made me feel embarrassed. Not much after that thought. A very static dream.

This was from my first night in Las Vegas, I fell asleep after finishing a bottle of champagne. #1 - My New Bathing Suit [Non-Lucid] This one was kind of odd, more like a visualization-induced non-lucid. At first I was just drifting off in bed, and I was thinking about walking around the hotel pool. We'd stayed there before so I know the area pretty well. In my imagination I was walking around in something like this, but like all black: At first I was just sort of wishing I had that kind of bathing suit, but as I got more and more tired the scene started to expand and suddenly I actually was walking around the pool in that suit. I wasn't lucid though, so I didn't really appreciate it. I remember thinking that I was supposed to be meeting up with some friends of mine, some random female DCs who were busy changing into their suits, but I got distracted by a food stand by the pool. I tried to get a hot dog, but they were out. :C I saw my dad lounging by the side of the pool and went over to him and asked him why there were no hot dogs, and he said that they ran out of meat. He got up and started walking off with me and I started complaining about the situation to him, but I don't remember much after that. I think I woke up not long afterward. #2 - Fading Phone [Non-Lucid] I had taken a bunch of downer drugs, and I specifically remember that Ativan and Xanax were two of them. I was partying all night, and I woke up the next morning while it was still dark outside. My dad was there and he asked me if I had gone anywhere while I was on the drugs, and I said no but joked that I couldn't be sure because I had blacked out. He looked concerned, and I layed down on the living room floor only for it to suddenly morph into the hotel room bed. Without changing position, I reached over to grab my phone and start typing up my dream. Suddenly, my dad gets up and walks over to my bed and is acting all emotional (I can't remember exactly what that means, but that's what I wrote down) My sheets are pulled up over my head by an unseen force, then my dad grabs my hands through the sheets. I'm overcome with a fear, and suddenly I realize this isn't happening. It's a very odd sensation to describe, it's kind of like... you're staring at the ceiling the whole time, and you're just really confused about what's going on, but it doesn't change the fact that you were just staring at the ceiling, it's just that you don't really understand it at first, so much that you think all this other stuff is happening, but then when you finally do, it still feels like that's all you were ever doing. Anyway.... I grab my phone again and start typing but it suddenly phases out of my hands, and I try a couple more times but it never works, so I give up. I have the actual feeling of being stuck, which is rare for me even in sleep paralysis, but I manage to shift my line of sight to the left. There's a faint light visible from something in the room, and as I stare at it it starts moving closer and growing and creating strange alien symbols, and I'm filled with a fear again, but then suddenly I snap out of it and am fully awake. #3 - Lucidly Non-Lucid Bad Trip [Non-Lucid] This was a terrible dream. :T I took Benadryl, or diphenhydramine, at a hallucinogenic dose. For those of you who don't know what that's like, basically it's sort of similar to non-lucid dreaming, only even more schizophrenically psychotic, and layered over waking reality at the same time. Actually, it can be sort of like the way I described the sleep paralysis, everything is just so unbelievably confusing that even though you're interacting with reality, you just interpret it allllll wrong. And so that was reproduced, accurately I might add, in the dream. And diphenhydramine is an unbelievably terrible experience, not to mention I know how bad it is for you and already had to overcome an addiction to it, so this was a nightmare. The worst part about this experience was that I believed I was in this dream-like trip, so I was paying extremely close attention to the dreamy nature of everything that was happening, and yet no matter how odd it was it couldn't tip me off to the fact that I was dreaming because it fit the scenario perfectly. My mindset was basically like being lucid of the fact that I was non-lucid, and it pushed my dream insanity to a whole new level. I was at my aunt and uncle's house and even my family members over there were becoming extremely confused at the bizarre and unexplainable things I was doing. Yes, I was so non-lucid that the DCs were confused. I can't remember much of the actual plot, though. ----- This dream was from the second night we were there, and I fell asleep after more drinking and taking some Soma (carisoprodol). Dream Fragment - I took a large dose of methoxetamine, which I've never taken in waking life, and ended up tripping out. I was in a classroom somewhere and someone was giving me a foot massage, and because of the drug it felt like my toes were floating off of their original spots and randomly switching places, which made me feel warm and giggly at the time. That's about all I can remember, though.
Don't you hate when your having this great, vivid, dream and you wake and see your late for something and in all the rush you forget what you dream was about...ya that's you my morning went. Anyway this is what I do remember. I'm in a mansion through some means I can't recall and I'm with two other friends. We can't get out and one of my friends disappear. Me and the friend still with come to the conclusion that he was kill be the evil guy who owns the mansion, he is also the one who trapped use here to begin with. (Lots of stuff happen that i don't remember) It's been a long time and we are still in the mansion(I'm talking months) We are exploring the endless rooms when I come across the first locked room. Me and my friend force it open to find a room full of stuff like a TV and fridge, bed etc. There are also the belongings of our missing friend. I remember saying "He's been here all along." We look around and (I don't remember how I came to this conclusion) We realize the evil guy that trapped us here has taken him again. Then I see A open Cell phone on the ground by the bed and pick it up. My missing friend's mom is on the other line. "Mike! Mike are you OK! Answer me!" I explain the situation to her that Mike(My friend) has been taken again. She says she is sending people to get us. Time passes and me and my friend(Who is a guy, don't know his name) Are waiting at the main door for people to get there. We are eating chips and dip and just chillen. I don't why but for some reason when they get there I become terrified and think they mean me and my friend harm so I hid behind the door when it opens. Last thing I remember is my friend saying it's alright to come out.
Normal Dream Night 25 I. I am at the mall with my brothers, it is snowing outside, and we find this new shop called Exit Boys, it was dark with black lights on inside. We go in and it has similar clothing as Hot Topic, but there was also art canvases for sale. We leave but the next store is also an art store and my brothers go in to paint some canvases, I didn't feel like it at the time so I just watched. I remember my oldest brother painting some sort of old ship at the bay, while my other brother was painting an environmental piece with mountains, they were doing really well. My memory fades for a little and then we are walking to the parking lot, and they had these jewelry display cases in the hall, and I remember seeing some classmates I went to school with. Dream ends.
I had this dream on 10/21/2011. This dream starts out with me (I have no idea who I am) riding on a train but this train travels above and below ground within a city (or cities, I am not sure). All of a sudden, the train starts going faster, and faster... I notice that something is wrong. Most people don't even realize it. The train is speeding up more and more and more.. I looked out the window and noticed that everything is zooming by at super-high speeds. SLOWLY, people begin to realize that the train is going like 2-3x faster than normal. It's a fkn runaway train but I hadn't known it then. My perspective switches to a bystander waiting for the train in an underground tunnel. I am standing like 2 feet away from the edge of the platform. I look to my left and right--there are a few people waiting for the train. A young black girl I remember in particular, wearing a blue jean jacket, blue jeans, and brown boots, was standing about 5 feet to the right of me and she had her back turned to the railway, looking down at her cell phone. The train shoots by us. There was some force but it wasn't anything serious. All of a sudden, I am another passenger on that train.... We are above ground, I think the train missed another stop, and it later obliterates a DUMP TRUCK that was crossing another stop further up ahead. The impact was insane but the train keeps going. I AM DEAD. I am looking down at the runaway train from the sky not too far above it. The next thing I know, my perspective switches to a bystander who is waiting for the train in a subway. I know the train is coming and that there is literally no time to warn people OR RUN. I scream "RUN, MOVE, GET OUT!" There's a couple of people standing on the platform fkg close to the railway. I am standing about maybe 10 yards back and there is a thin brick wall I can take cover behind right beside me. I look to my right and I see this Caucasian girl walking towards me and there is a mirror on the wall behind me, right in between us. The train is here. It BLAZED past the platform, blowing everyone away with sheer force in all directions. The girl that was walking towards the mirror got SLAMMED into it and most likely died instantly. I had jumped behind the thin brick wall, tucked in my head and legs, and still felt the incredible force from the train. I am fine though. My perspective shifts back to the train which is above ground again. I am another passenger and the situation hasn't changed. EVERYONE is going crazy! There is literally nothing we can do. Up ahead there is another train stop and lot of traffic passing over it. There are semi and very large trucks crossing over. The train slams into them and everything just explodes. I AM DEAD AGAIN but for some reason I am rising out of a lake (or pond, IDK). Perhaps I was somehow ejected from the train and tossed into a lake. I cannot see my body or feel anything like the first time. I have no idea in which direction the accident happened. The dream ends there and I have the EXACT same dram AGAIN from beginning to end right after going back to sleep!
