    1. The rehearsal

      by , 01-28-2012 at 01:29 AM
      Intense but non-lucid dream this morning in which I attended the rehearsal of small, intimate play that had a ridiculous number on onlookers. A celebrated Portland actor was the star — she was playing a cancer victim or something like that — and she was totally surrounded by spectators, to the point where she was nearly hemmed in.

      Seated in front of me was a popular area political commenator, who was whispering to one of the producers; she was there was a consultant regarding life in rural Oregon. (In waking life she’s from San Diego!)

      At the break there was this big conference with the creative team, of which I was one, serving as the production’s dramaturg. There had been an earlier workshop of the production with a different team, and they were present and apparently had a big stake in the show’s outcome. I was holding the floor about different aspects of the process, and these people were at pains to show off their prior knowledge. It was all going fine — I was able to keep a decent balancing act going in which their input was accounted for yet we were still able to move forward — but this was also a bit of a strain, and I was glad when I woke up and could leave the project behind.

    2. A Couple Snowboard Dreams

      by , 01-28-2012 at 01:04 AM (Burke's Nightly Escapades)
      I was at our local town park on top of the hill that overlooks it. There were a few kids on the baseball field right at the base of the hill making a jump out of snow. They made it leading up to the pitcher's mound from home plate. One of them was on a snowboard standing over home plate with a bungee cord in his hand. It through him forward and he hit the jump going over the pitchers mound. The others clapped a little bit and walked towards him. Me, along with a few friends who were with me walked down to see exactly what they were doing.

      When we got down there the dream skipped to a point where me and both of my friends were standing in the outfield. The other kids who were already there were in the infield and one of them threw a baseball to the kid who had just hit the jump. He picked up his snowboard and hit the ball with it, sending it flying over the fence. He walked around the bases casually trying not to make it seem like a big deal. Then, for some reason, I turned to my friend who was lying on the ground. He then proceeded to levitate a few inches off the ground and just sat there.

      "Why don't you try spinning?" I said. At this point I didn't see anything out of the ordinary and just thought of it as an every day occurence (stupid me ). "Okay," He said and he then started to spin around in a circle. This is all I can really remember and I think I
      woke up shortly afterwards.



      (I can't tell is this actually happened or was a dream, lol, but I figured I might as well post it too) I was on the chairlift at out local ski hill and saw somebody flying down the main head wall on the trail. He went over a large roller (mount of snow) and just kept going, not doing anything fancy. Then, he hit another roller and went flying, about 15 feet in the air and landed straight to flat. He absorbed the shock as much as he could and his back hand punched into the ground. He didn't fall and rode off to the right and met up with two other people. They were making "Oh!" noises and what not and high fives went around. That's all I remember.
    3. 01/27/12: Train to Oblivion

      by , 01-28-2012 at 12:55 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      01/27/12

      Crazy Train
      I am near the train tracks that are a couple miles from my house. It is either early in the morning or late in the afternoon, I don't spend much time thinking about that. I am waiting for the next train to come by. I know trains come along about every hour and they come to a stop near this railroad crossing to allow other trains to pass on the adjacent track. So I am waiting there for the next train to come along, I plan to hop on the train and see where it goes. I am thinking then all I have to do is jump on a train going the other direction when I want to come back.

      I haven't been there for very long when a train comes along. It comes to a stop just past the railroad crossing, and proceeds to wait there for the other train to arrive and pass. I walk along the side of this train, looking for a way to board. I see an open box car and I head for that, it should work. I see there is someone already in the car. I am about to continue on my way when I realize I recognize the person. It's MoSh! Apparently MoSh has decided to travel into the USA using trains to get around for free. I head towards the car and call out his name, he looks over at me. The train is moving, though. Why so soon? It should have waited for another train to pass! I chase after the car with MoSh on it, it is clear he is going to help me on board if I can just catch up enough… the train is accelerating way too fast, much faster than should be possible… I am feeling quite disappointed and depressed as it pulls away and takes MoSh with it.

      To Oblivion and Beyond!
      I am inside a game of Oblivion, and I am looking to close an Oblivion gate. I also want to collect a lot of bloodgrass from Oblivion since the primary effect of bloodgrass is the chameleon effect. So I am wandering through the forests and fields looking for an Oblivion gate. I finally spot what I am looking for. It is at the bottom of a hill I am on. I hurry down the hill, jumping to move faster. I jump farther than I intend and I fall quite some distance to the ground below. I am thinking I will get hurt, but I land with no problem at all. I go through the gate into Oblivion.

      Oblivion looks like I expect it to look, so I get straight to it. I pick several pieces of bloodgrass and see a couple scamps. I snipe one with my bow and arrow and finish the other off with my sword. I continue along the way, collecting lots of bloodgrass. I spot the tower that I know will house the sigil stone and I head for it. I have enough bloodgrass for now, so it is time to close this gate. I get into the tower and fight my way to the top. I snipe a scamp from across the room in the first room of the tower. I also spot a daedra that isn't paying any attention when I get near the top, I snipe him, too. I love sniping these daedra that aren't paying attention… they're so stupid. I get to the top of the tower and I grab the sigil stone to collapse the gate…

      …and now I find myself in someplace really strange… somehow stranger than Oblivion. The sky looks like a swirling black hole or maybe a galaxy spinning really fast, the ground is barren and dead. How did I end up here? This isn't normal for Cyrodiil… maybe I ended up on the Shivering Isles? It doesn't even look right for that, though the sky looks about right… I start wandering across the barren landscape to see if I can find out where I am. I turn to look back and the collapsed gate is still immediately behind me even though I have been walking for several minutes. How can that be? And how am I supposed to get anywhere if I can walk forever and not move at all?
    4. Short lucid

      by , 01-28-2012 at 12:46 AM
      I remember being lucid for a very short time. I did a nose RC and realized I was dreaming. I got way too excited for a few seconds, and everything started to spin, but I calmed myself down. I was in a bright white and light blue place and saw a man I didn't know down a hallway. There were two other people in the room with me, not sure who they were. I told them both it was a dream, and started thinking of what I could do, but it faded suddenly and I felt myself in bed. I assumed I was awake, but wasn't conscious enough to remember to RC or try a DEILD.

      (I think this is my first dream in here that doesn't even have enough substance for me to tag it :p)

    5. Luna park!

      by , 01-28-2012 at 12:02 AM (Yuppie's Dream Journal)
      I have this dying urge to smoke these two cigarettes, that are hidden in my room. Dad's in the house, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. I take one cigarette out, leaving one stashes under a shirt in my closet, and grab a blue lighter. I test it, and it burns very strong, for about five seconds. I hear footsteps coming down the hall, so I hide them under my blanket, but whoever it was, goes to the toilet. I look down, and realise it's burning, so I take a drag, and then walk across into my parent's room, being careful to have it down by my left side so no one could see me while I was crossing in the open space. I walk into their bathroom, and shut their door, I continue to smoke it over the toilet. There's a glare over the cigarette, so I have to move it down to see where the filter is. I take on last drag, and butt it out, then wrap it in toilet paper so I can flush it down the toilet without it floating. I turn to the sink, and rinse my mouth out, before taking some mouth wash, to rid any smell on me. There's a black box, next to the basin, kind of like a ramp, but hollow in the middle section. I wonder where we got it from because I'd never seen it before, and I remember reading the label, but I can't remember what it says. I go back into my room, and all of a sudden there's a blackout, and I shout out to dad "There's a blackout!" (Stating the obvious for the win ;P) I expect a reply, but nothing happens, so I turn around to go lay down on my bed, when all of a sudden dad is there. I flick on the light switch, (You know that habit when there's a blackout, you forget for like a second, so you try to turn a light on everytime you would normally?) which in my room is connected to four lights, and one of them comes on, very dim. Dad says "Oh, one of the lights is kind of working." I go back to the switch, which is now four individual switches, which I didn't seem to notice in my dream, and attempt to turn it off. It takes a few tries, because I have to try nearly every switch, which sets off other lights as well. I'm eventually succesful, and I wake up. (This dream was weird, because I don't smoke...)

      -Next Dream-

      I'm at luna park, by myself, and I'm walking through it. I have a yellow band on (which I just checked on the website, is actually the correct colour for me, pretty cool! ) but I'm not going on any of the rides anyway, I'm just playing the side show games. I'm actually having alot of luck, I manage to win alot of stuff. After I play a few games, I want to play that one where you have to spray water at something. I'm looking through the machines, but they're all the claw ones for either stuffed animals, or choclate. I walk past one with a man running it, with stuffed spiders in the machine, attached to string. Most of them are just there, without anyone running them. I pick one, that just looks like a normal choclate machine, but once I start playing, the claw turns into a rectangle, closed box, and once you press the red button, water falls out. There's a little square you have to put the water in. I postition it with the stick for the first five seconds, and then just hold down the red button. After about thirty second I know it's going to be rigged, one of those things that you come really close to, but you can never get. Twenty seconds left on the clock.. The water is filling up into the tube thing you would normally take your prize out of, and going upwards with these choclates. The aim is to get the water high enough so that the choclates float out of the prize door at the top. (It's pretty amazing what your mind comes up with.) I see that the door isn't locked, so I stick my hand in it, and realise that the choclates are close enough to just grab. I take them out, a cherry ripe, and some others. Five seconds left... I wait to see what happens after the time runs out, but the water just all runs back down. I wonder why the machine is like that, but I walk off without giving it much more thought. I walk towards coney island, and come out into the other bit with the five rides. I look towards the one I was hoping to go on, but there's just an empty space. All that remains is a little metal stand with some wires coming out of it. I look to my left, however, and there's a circular floor, with chairs all around the outside. That spins around, while you're strapped in. It looks fun, so I decide to line up to go on it. However, I realise there's a massive queue for the ride, about fifty people.. and the ride appears to be able to hold only about ten people at a time. I decide against it, and then I have this feeling, that this is the only functional ride at the park. I wake up.

      Fragments: I was walking down this big ramp of stairs with someone, and I was jumping down off the side onto the next, to save a fair bit of time. Once I got out into the car park, I saw one of my teachers who I dislike, and spoke to her. I also remember this thing about school, but I just can't seem to recall what happend.

    6. Trapped in the Hotel

      by , 01-27-2012 at 11:34 PM
      1/26/12

      DILD

      Notes: I was staying in a hotel. I had not smoked, so I was feeling some REM rebound.

      I had repeated FAs where I kept waking up in the bed. There had to have been at least 5 in total. After the first few I caught on thought to RC the next time I "woke up." Some woman behind me said that it was a good idea and that I should take control. I thought to myself that the RCs will probably fail because this is so ridiculous. The next time I wake up, the nose RC fails. I reach for some water and wake up again.

      Eventually I stand up and flick a spider off of me.
      I realize I'm dreaming and go towards the door. Some guy somehow makes me go by the spider. I know its a dream, but I still don't want to be around it. It is really dark and I head out the door. I am walking around the embassy suites. I want to fly over the balcony, but because I had so many FAs, I don't trust that its actually a dream. I nose RC a bunch of times to keep lucidity and it keeps working. I still don't trust flying though.

      I walk out to the main floor area and a few people are gathered in a circle. There are two hot girls so I try to fool around with them. I am with this one blonde girl and I try to get the red head to join. She doesn't want to so I go over to her alone. We have sex and I finish.


      When I woke up, I still felt very disoriented and confused about reality.

    7. Orange Crystals, It's Halloween Again (January 26, 2012)

      by , 01-27-2012 at 11:33 PM (Chronicles of Ethos)
      DreamLucidAwake

      Orange Crystals

      I don't remember much of this dream. I was walking along a dirt road and saw a hut. I walked inside the hut to see if I could find anything interesting. Inside the old man was sleeping on a hammock. I snuck past him and walked over to a table on the other side of the room. The table seemed to be made out of dirt and grass. Even stranger, an orange crystal was growing out of it. I touched the crystal and it started to glow brightly before shattering into a hunder little pieces. I reached my hand out towards them again to see what would happen. They started floating and turned into a magical energy that absorbed into my arm. I started freaking out and shaking my arms because I didn't know what was happening. The old man woke up as this happened.

      "You fool!" He said grabbing my arm.
      "What just happened?!" I asked him.
      "You absorbed the crystal that was powering my shield!" He told me.

      I heard footsteps from outside the hut and turned towards the door. An orc warrior with a sword and armor stood outside. He roared and charged towards the hut. I saw a sword sitting on a shelf in the hut. I took it and ran outside to the orc. He swung his sword at me and I blocked it. He knocked me to the ground and I rolled back before he could stab me. I remembered that I had absorbed the magic from the crystals and focused it in my hands. I charged at the orc and pushed against its chest. An orange energy bursted out and that's the last thing I remember before waking up.


      It's Halloween Again

      I was in an empty parking lot with my mother. We had just finished putting groceries in the car. She got a phone call that reminded her it was Halloween. She told me something about it being Halloween again and that Micheal Myers would be looking for us. She then told me to unchain the car and that the code was "2921". I walked to the front of the car and there was a chain connecting the car to the metal railing. I realized that if it was already sunset Micheal could be anywhere by now. The lock on the chain dial with number 1-9 in a mixed order. It took me a while, but I finally got the code in and the chain broke. The next thing I know it's the middle of the night and I'm riding in the back seat of the car. I became lucid when I was told to keep an eye out for Micheal Myers. I knew that if the dream continued and we got home I would have to fight Micheal Myers. I then debated whether I should let the dream continue and fight him or if I should just wake up. I thought about it for a few minutes before I woke up involuntarily.

    8. The rabbit and the flower

      by , 01-27-2012 at 10:33 PM
      I remember I was sent back to an old school I used to go to and, now have to stay there for school, though why I wasn't told.
      Upon getting there, I remember distinctly thinking "This place looks ... different" I think nothing of it after that, thinking they just went through renovations.
      ( At least I'm showing signs of starting to question dream worlds )
      I go to classes, each ends a couple seconds after I get there, each class already assigning homework at this time as well.
      The bell rings for lunch, though I'm late getting out of class, causing me to only have ten minutes to eat. I figure it's too late to go to a store, so I try finding a vending machine, it takes me five dream minutes to find a vending machine, during this point in time I'm thinking "where the hell is a vending machine." I finally find one (though, it's less of a vending machine and more of a consession area with one choice of food) I get into line, though I figure I won't get to the front by the time class starts, so I look outside for a sec and ponder if I could get to the stores at the top in time. I figure I should give it a try and start on my way up.
      Now, on the way to the stores, you have to go up a gradual hill. On the left side there's was what seems to be an abandoned train yard. I find it weird but think nothing more of it from there on in. When I get to the top of the hill, I notice there's no stores at all, but instead a field, with grass so green, it has a tinge of blue to it, and a place where beautiful doesn't even begin to describe the area. In the middle of this tiny field, there's a flower ( the flower kept changing from a daisy to a bluebell) beside the flower was a white rabbit, standing on its hind legs, watching me intently. I started to walk into the field, looking around, trying to see it all.
      I got to the flower and the rabbit starts to gesture for me to take the flower. I grab the flower and pull it out of the ground. As I start to get up, the flower turns into five big packets of mini eggs. I nod at the rabbit as a thank you, and I run off. Upon getting back, I'm already late, though feeling satisfied, I take my time.

      Dream sign :
      It seems I've been to this area once before in a dream, though this was when I was making my way to a bus. It seems I've expanded the outskirts of the school and the area where the stores are. Interesting expansion as well.

    9. beija-flor's DJ

      by , 01-27-2012 at 10:00 PM
      Hey guys, now I have finally the time to write my DJ online (I already have a DJ in german but not online)

      27.01.2012

      1- Bicycle tour

      I'm riding my bicycle through a small path in the forest. My mom was with me but I lost her and want to search her now because I couldn't find my way back home on my own. The weather is rainy and I feel quite sad, thinking about why I'm living and what's the meaning of my life. I start to sing a french song about love in perfect french, though my french in waking life sucks xD.

      2- WILD dream

      I wake up because of my alarm clock that is starting to make noise. It's 5 am and I'm still way to tired to get up (I normally get up at 5.30). I think about what I'm gonna do today and suddenly I feel hands touching my head and I feel a person lying next to me in my bed. First I feel shocked but then I recognize that I must have falle into sleep paralysis unintentionally. I suddenly start to feel euphoric and think "Yeah I'm going to have a lucid dream!!". As my body had fallen completely asleep, I sit up in my bed and walk through my room (that is cleaned up, how strange lmao ) and outside the house. Everything is dark (no street lights, no lights in the windows) but I can see clearly. I want to search for some people but theres nobody in this grey town. The buildings seem dark and monotonous, they remind me a lot of that painting: http://home.arcor.de/j120542/allgemein/geruecht.jpg
      http://data6.blog.de/media/153/52651...8592a3d_o.jpeg
      I begin to feel scared and start to search for something beautiful so I look uo to the sky and there IS the very beautiful thing.. millions of big shiny stars in the black sky, nearer and brighter than I had ever seen them before

    10. Satanist

      by , 01-27-2012 at 09:59 PM (Inner Sanctum)
      When i first woke up, i remembered this dream very clearly. But i was late for class and couldn't write it down. So now it's more like a dream fragment.

      Me, and some DC were talking with this guy who had on a leather jacket, and this yellow shirt under it. The yellow shirt had a red design of the baphomet on it. . .So immediately i was a little thrown off by that, but in the dream world everything is "normal".

      The three of us just talked for a while, and i asked him about his shirt, and he admitted to being a satanist. But he seemed really cool in the dream....

      Weird...

    11. Prison Escape, Street Comic

      by , 01-27-2012 at 09:53 PM (Dreamsphere (Return to the Chaos))
      Dream 1: Prison Escape

      I am a prisoner who has just escaped with my inmate in a massive prison-wide breakout. We are driving a stolen 4-wheel drive and are in the parking lot of a shopping centre, when we notice one of the several police cars dispatched to capture the prisoners. My friend makes a sharp turn which, to my amazement, doesn't attract the attention of the officer. We decide to get rid of the 4-wheel drive and find a motorcycle to hotwire. Still in the parking lot, we get to a set of stairs and, after parking the motorcycle, we run up them. Eventually, we get to a room where two men who I notice to be Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are arguing. Will Smith, upon seeing our prison jumpsuits, draws his gun and begins firing at us. I draw my gun (which I don't know how I acquired) and fire three shots which miss and one shot which finds Will Smiths temple. I turn to my left and find that my friend has been shot. I grab him by the leg and drag him away, all the while firing at Martin Lawrence.

      Dream 2: Street Comic

      The panels of a epic comic book have been drawn on the street pavement stretching across several suburbs. People I meet say it is the best comic ever published, and I decide to run from street to street in order to read it. I am sprinting across the footpath, taking in the comic as I go, when I notice a male my age sprinting to my right. I get to a certain point on the street, specifically on a panel that is heavy on text, and stop, before deciding to run in the opposite direction.

      by , 01-27-2012 at 09:08 PM (Dreamscapes)
      I lay in bed to prepare for my wbtb wild. It doesn't take long. For me to get tired and I pass out too soon. I am with rain my yoga teacher and Kara. She is teaching some yoga and Kara and I are following. We do something's for a while and I end up. NEar Safeway. I think about this and wonder how I get there so fast. Did I run? It hit me. I'm dreaming. I do a rc and look at my hands. I'm dreaming already. I pull up my sleeves and take the sight in. Yep it's beautiful like usual. Everything is Glowing as the sun bursts through the open air. * Unfortunately I wake up.*

      I am with Dustin. It's Friday and we are at my place with Kara. Dustin and I were gonna to to the party but instead were going to a guns and roses workshop. We go and wait for what seems like forever until we see that it already started along time ago. We rush in and they almost don't let us in. It turns out to be a class and the teachers slightly crazy. Dustin and I joke around during class like we usually do and piss the teacher off in a funny way. It later turns into a whole camp scene where we stay there for the summer. Dustin turns into Leo. People were playing jokes on Leo for some reason and I was defending him. I was doing handstand in the sand on a giant downsloping hill and failing. Leo's brother who is older now comes up to me and asks why Leo always stinks and has fleas. I dont know why but I'll ask. I know he's gonna pull a prank on him later *and I tell him I am watching him and spank him on his ass. We both laugh and make our way to different camps

      Dream about being at homecoming with Kara. I pretend to be king and the runner ups are all ugly. I laugh and boo them. They get pissed and walk off the stage. On guy tells me im too old to be there even though I'm gorgeous.*

    13. Let's Go To The Mall! :D, Take A Third Option

      by , 01-27-2012 at 07:22 PM
      Just a couple this time, but one that was sorta interesting.

      #1 - Let's Go To The Mall!

      I'm in a class, in high school I think, with LOTS of old people from my schools, and also Robin from How I Met Your Mother! (That show is entering my dreams a lot lately. ) At one point, "Let's Go To The Mall" comes on on the overhead announcement system.

      (For those of you who don't know, in the show this is a hit that Robin had in Canada as a pop star that she's really embarrassed about, and for the sake of the joke it's a pretty ridiculous song, but super catchy. )



      All of my old friends and I start singing along with it while Robin looks really embarrassed, but then she eventually gets in and starts singing with us! Later one of my other friends shows up and I try to tell him about it but he starts yelling the words right after I say them so I stop in mid-sentence. Weird lol.

      After that, the teacher gives us a 100 question pop quiz. >.< She gives us a set of instructions which I remember thinking seemed pretty meaningless, and then I notice that all of the questions and answers (it's multiple choice) are really bizarre and don't seem to be correlated in any way. I keep wanting to work on the quiz anyway but at some point ketchup got smeared all over it somehow. Though I should be worried about the fact that my paper will be messy and soggy, what I'm mainly concerned about it how I'm going to put my paper back down on the table without smearing the ketchup on the table.

      #2 - Take A Third Option

      All I remember is being in another class with a different friend, and we were told we had to choose between going light side or dark side (like in Star Wars). Though, after we picked, we were given point deductions for not picking the neutral option.

      Nothing too exciting, but the first one was fun.
    14. Earthquakes and Possession

      by , 01-27-2012 at 06:28 PM
      I must not be sleeping well in my hotel in Phoenix.

      Dream 1:

      I was in my hotel room when I feel a lot of shaking. The floor to my room starts to slowly fall down a few feet. I was able to get out of the room, but after I do I watch as the whole room falls several stories to the ground with all my stuff in it.

      Dream 2:

      I was supposedly sleeping when I felt this horrible feeling. I try to yell and scream, but as is normal for me in dreams, just the sounds of strong breaths come out of my mouth. Later I wake up within the dream and see that I had my camera on and facing the bed all night and notice that I captured video of myself sleeping. I watch the video and see myself trying to sit up and scream in my sleep. It is very freaky and I wonder if I had been possessed.

      Again not much recall...awoken several times with trains again! Terrible trains! So loud like they were in my bedroom...waking my son, etc. this was real. Only dream memory was of my advisor (looking different but pretty sure it was he) scoffing at the idea of me finishing my studies...basically saying it is obvious I won't pull it off. Not a good dream.
