    1. 12-26-11 Recurring Witch Woman

      by , 12-26-2011 at 11:55 PM
      I've decided to start typing down my dreams that I think are significant, or at least have some sort of meaning to them, even if I don't understand them. I wanted to do this about a week ago, but nothing was really important enough to put in here.

      The other night I had a dream about a "witch" woman. I told a friend about it and they told me it sounded like another dream I had many years ago that I had shared with them recently. This prequel dream I had when I was a kid, but it was so memorable and frightening that it's one that I can't forget. I don't know how long it lasted or how long I was running. Maybe the length doesn't matter.
      I was running away from a cackling laugh and although I could never see this sound that was chasing me...I put the image of a witch, in a black robe, big nose, and pale green skin. I kept running and couldn't get any distance between myself and the laughing that was chasing me.

      Now, two nights ago, I dreamt another vivid dream. Another dream about a "witch" woman. I was with others, although I don't know who they were and I don't have an image of them, but I felt their presence. We were at a cabin in the woods and it felt like it was a getaway with friends. We went to town to get food and supplies and there were no people anywhere. It felt like everything was frozen in time. It was a ghost town except for us being there. I remember looking at the clock and it had stopped. As if everything in the world had come to a stand still. I remember feeling very awkward and beginning to get a little frightened. I assume we took what we needed, but can't be sure. It's almost as if my dream consciousness slipped, because the next thing I remembered was being back in the cabin and all of us being dumbfounded as to what was happening.
      Then we were all surprised when we heard a rather loud car coming down the road through the forest. It was an old rusty looking oldsmobile and it sounded like a diesel truck. I was in the cabin looking out the window, wondering where this person was from, since all of us in the cabin thought we were the only people left in the world. The car pulled up and the door opened. A figure in brown robes appearred. The pale green skin was recognizable. It was a form of the "witch" woman. Not the same. Or not the same image I had in my head of the woman chasing me through the forest, but it felt similar in a way. She didn't have a hat...just grey...aged...dead looking hair. Even at a distance I could see her smiling at me...and eventhough her mouth didn't move, I could hear the laughing as an echo in my head. I felt powerless. She had an invisible power. She could control my actions and how I felt. At this point...I didn't have the perception that anyone was with me in the cabin anymore....as if I was alone....and she starting walking up to the door.
      I was in a room with her. I felt like I needed her and even though she said that she would kill me if I tried to do anything, I still felt like she was caring for me. It was her invisible power.

      Now, I decided to type this down because just last night, I had a dream where I was back in the cabin...and honestly it's quite puzzling and frightening to me. I've never had a dream where I was in the same....place, I guess. And a lot of my dreams don't have conversations and I usually forget most of my dreams...but not this.

      The second dream, I was in the middle of a room in the cabin. And she paced around me...and I could hear the laughing in my head. She asked me. "Do you know why I'm here?" I didn't respond. She kept walking slowly around me and said another thing. "I'm here because you're a hider." I felt like a child...and was cuddled up on the floor with my arms around my legs. The "witch" was extremely terrifying. More so because I felt like I could do nothing to rid of her, as though I was her slave without physical chains. I asked her if I'd ever find a way to get rid of her. She said, "Yes, so continue."

      I am assuming I'm trying to identify or deal with my insecurities or something. I'm not sure. I hope this character doesn't reappear in my dreams again.

      by , 12-26-2011 at 11:44 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      Vicious's Dream
      It was night, i was walking home from the local mall when i suddenly noticed one of my school teachers behind me walking along the same path about 50 meters behind me, i instantly "remembered" (false memory) that he was coming to my house to give me a very important school test that the grade i get on it will be used to determine what i my job will be as an adult, so i rushed home (he hadn't noticed me) and then i remembered that i have no idea about the material of the test and started stressing out, when he arrived and handed the test to me i couldn't answer a thing,
      my mom noted something about disappointment but i don't remember what.

    3. LD#10, super short

      Sat. Dec.24, 2011
      Bed 1:30am

      School trip with H.

      Sunday Dec.25, 2011
      Bed 12:30am

      I made a contract to have an LD.

      Regular DR.
      - I'm in a hospital setting, but I'm not sick. Big bright rooms, lot's of instruments. Kinda quiet and peaceful.
      - Find some old piece of meat and something nasty falls out of it as I'm taking it to the trash can. A mean person claims I'm hiding it for myself and makes me give it to her. I tell her it's dangerous and gross. She doesn't listen.
      -Something about cooking noodles and grinding pecans for it.

      GM 4mg+Choline 300mg at 6:50am

      DR - I spilled water on my bed, had to change the sheets. As I'm putting the comforter on, it suddenly gets heavier and heavier. That strikes me as odd (first time something strikes me as odd) and think that it must be a dream. No time to RC, because as the weight of the comforter pulls my head over the bed, I enter in "headrush" - acceleration feeling of my head racing through field of stars. I say "faster" and faster we go.

      LD#10 - I end up in my parent’s bedroom, making beds. I see my auntie and I give her a hug. Her dark red pajamas with small pattern of green are very soft, as brushed cotton. I feel it to stabilize. Also touch the closet, light brown, high polish, slippery and cool to the touch. Frantically rub my hands to stabilize, but I wake up.

      It's already past 8am and lots of noise outside, can't really sleep. But have a couple of visuals, I fly over a dream and although I'm not thrilled with it, I decide not to take a chance and enter it, maybe change it later. But for some reason I don't land in it.

    4. Trying to Tie up Black Poles, Father telling about music to friend, Meeting my Art Teacher...

      by , 12-26-2011 at 11:37 PM (Linkzelda's Dream Journal)
      12/26/11

      NON-LUCID

      Afternoon nap (I took a nap at around 1:30 PM and woke up a few minutes before 3:50 PM (since my Blackberry has an alarm that I have yet to set off, but at least it woke me up for once))

      Dream 1:

      I was with some random DCs at some random environment I can’t remember too well. We had some dilemma setting up some black poles or long strips of two metals that were far apart from each other. We were going to use black strings and some black tape to connect them together, but I had a problem trying to connect them.



      So a random DC comes in and tells the other DCs to come help push onto the pole so the string can attach to it. It was really random, but after some excessive pushing, I couldn’t remember much of that part of the dream.

      Dream 2:

      I was with my father and I believe there was this guy he wanted to show some new music too ( I don’t know what though). When he went inside the small store the guy was in, the guy said that he’ll check the music later if he can get it the CD for it.



      So this made me assume that my father would want me to burn some CDs later on so the guy can get a copy of his music.

      Dream 3:

      I’m at an environment that looks like the outside of Thornton Middle School in Texas. The back of it to be precise, there were the classrooms with the exteriors built to be sustained through hard weather like hail or rain or whatever.



      I have some bags in my hand, and I’m trying to find a classroom to go in. The doors looked kind of weird, they were light brown with a hint of yellow to them, and they had wooden blinds.




      These blinds covered the whole door, and apparently if the blinds were shut, no one could get inside the classroom. I go up to the ramp to get to one of these classrooms, and turns out that the blinds being open or shut didn’t matter since one opened for me.

      This classroom was just like the one I had for Ms. East’s class in Thornton Middle School! I see maybe one or two student DCs sitting down in a random order, and then I turn to the right and see my Art teacher I had at Cypress Lakes High School.


      Let’s call her Ms. J. She was sitting around eating something I think, and there was a T.V. in front of where I was standing at the moment (still at the entrance of the classroom). I still had bag in my hands, so I go up to Ms. J and asked her if I can put these bags under her desk for now.

      She said something about she can only do for to just watch on them (that’s why I freaking asked you lol), so I said “Yes” to her anyway and put the bags down.

      Then I asked her “May I go to the bathroom please?” She replied, “Yes.” So I head out of the classroom and while I was going down the ramp, I could’ve sworn I heard a DC in some dark gray shirt who looked like a guy named Cesar that I knew in middle school (but I never was friends with him, he was one of those tall dudes who looked like a nerd) said, “Hmmm.,” or something along those lines.

      When I reached the end of the ramp, the area turns into the back area of where there were several fast-food chains, bars, etc near Northgate in College Station Texas that I lived nearby.

      (This pic below is the entrance to get to the back of the fast food areas and bars.


      Apparently I needed water instead of using the bathroom, and there were these random water fountains. I go up to one, but it shot WAY too high for me, so I move on to the next one, and it tasted funny
      (though I couldn’t actually “taste” it,) so I guess it was too cold for me.



      Then I went to another one and drank a little bit from it (me finding the right water fountain was just like the plot of Goldilocks or something).

      I can’t remember much after that though.

    5. 12/26/11 Data Center, Lord of the Flies

      by , 12-26-2011 at 11:34 PM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      12/26/11

      Donut Data
      I am in my car and on my way to work. I have a job at a data center at a hospital. I didn't really want to take such a position again, but I felt I had no choice since I haven't been finding a job in computer or game design. I get to work and I park in a parking garage that seems much larger than it needs to be. I realize I forgot my lunch. I work nights, so it isn't really lunch, but I know I will be hungry. I also have no money. It's ok, I think, I'll just jack someone else's lunch. No one will ever know it was me. I don't stop to consider that the other person will be hungry or that there might not be anyone else's lunch available… I go to the data center and get ready to start working. There are other people there with me, but they are not computer operators. They are going about other business. I fill out a couple of forms I need to complete before starting the nightly backup. As I fill out the forms I wonder if I am getting it wrong. The form looks different somehow… In the data center I find a box of donuts being kept warm on the exhaust vent of one of the computers. I take two donuts. An idiot comes in and starts eating donuts in the data center, dripping jelly everywhere, including in the computers. I hear jelly sizzling inside the circuits, but nothing goes wrong. I head to get the backup tapes, hoping I can get a backup of the data and get out of there before the computers take a major jelly-induced crap.


      Lord of the Flies
      I am in a strange place, I look around and see it looks like the interior of a volcano or something… actually the entire area is filled with volcanoes. The sky is filled with black clouds and there are actual rivers of flowing lava coming from some of the surrounding mountains. The result is that the landscape is bathed in an eerie reddish glow. Somehow the air isn't choked with smoke, though, most of that seems to stay in the upper atmosphere. Maybe kept there by wind currents? There are cloaked people around me, eleven of them to be exact, standing in a circle around me. I realize I am lying on a bed of soft grasses and hay, and the people around me are chanting. It's as if I can hear a song playing in my head… Iron Maiden's "Lord of the Flies" is clear in my mind. I feel healing energy washing over me, and I know they are trying to help me feel better, I am feeling better already… more motivated, less depressed. I relax and let them do their ritual.


      I don't care for this world anymore
      I just want to live my own fantasy
      Faith has brought me to these shores
      What was meant to be is now happening

      I've found that I like this living in danger
      Living on the edge it feels... it makes me feel as one
      Who cares now what's right or wrong it's reality
      Killing so we survive wherever we may roam
      Wherever we may hide we've got to get away

      I don't want existence to end
      We must prepare ourselves for the elements
      I just want to feel like the storm
      We don't need a code of morality

      I like all the mixed emotion and anger
      It brings out the animal the power you can feel
      And feeling so high on this much adrenalin
      Excited but scared do you believe what we've become?

      Saints and sinners
      Something within us
      We are lord of the flies

      Saints and sinners
      Something willing us
      To be lord of the flies
    6. Carnival flood and Ex-gf

      by , 12-26-2011 at 09:28 PM
      This is my first DJ so I'll start with an explanation. Most of my dreams transition into other dreams or "bridge" to other dreams I like to call it. The bit of dream that I can remember I'll write down now.

      I started at a fair or carnival. I was on some sort of Canoe type ride that sent me through a type of forest. There was no water, it was a dry land canoe ride. Bobbing and weaving through the trees we went. I was with at least one girl and one guy in the canoe. We stop in a small nearly dried up river bed. I look behind us and see a 50ft wave coming at us carrying everything from trees to a small one room house or perhaps a tiki hut type of bar. I had a sense that we were in the canoe from the start to outrun the wave but the wave caught up. I knew then the only way to survive was to let the wave take the canoe and ride it to safety. We rode the wave to safety and the dream "bridged" to a new dream.

      I was now in a walmart type of store and walking through it with my Ex-gf. I'll start with a little bit of info. My ex and I broke up about August of this year and while I rarely think of her awake... In my dreams she's frequently there. Back to the dream we were walking through walmart. I had a sense of needing to "steal" her away from her now current bf and found with little ease that I was able too. We had a small conversation about her bf and that I was better and all that.

      The dream ended or I cant remember anything past that or before it. Feel free to comment as I would like some insight but let me tell you. When I say I barely think of my ex now it's because I'm with a 5 foot tall, 105 pound filipino model. Trust me, my ex is a shadow compared to her. Haha

      Giant bottle of wine, high school odd friend


      I was in a strange living room and an old high school friend, D, wandered in and i had the feeling he had come for an unannounced visit...i got up and when i went to greet him, he turned around and went back outside. i followed him and he was rummaging through boxes that looked like boxes i had seen in the past..maybe in storage, or the garage, he pulled out a huge bottle of wine out of one of the smaller ones...it shouldnt have fit in that box, i cant remember the name on the bottle, but he, my parents, who suddenly appeared next to me and I got in an arguement about the bottle, i wanted to drink it, parents wanted me to re-store it... " you can use it later" they kept telling me...the next thing i know, i'm chasing D all over the house and garage etc as he opens and rummages in everythng he could get his hands on... finally he runs out in the back yard and as i apporach him he gets a huge grin on his face and hops away backwards on one foot at very high speed out the back gate and disappears down the street......dream shift

    8. Town in the Mountains

      by , 12-26-2011 at 08:19 PM
      Had a bunch of dreams last night. Overall I'm doing pretty good I think. Though, I'm a little disappointed that I haven't achieved a lucid dream yet.

      The Mountain
      Had multiple dreams taking place in one location for the most part. It was an area in the mountains that was covered in green pastures and forests. There were sand dunes that also resided around the mountains, making moving a pain.

      The mountain also had a couple streams coming out of it's side. In one area of the mountain, there was a modest town that lived in log cabins. However, this town happened to suffer from a mysterious force that destroyed the lands around them. I remember that as things progressed, the green faded away and the town became ramshackled slums. One thing that stuck out was this elderly couple that settled on the mountain looking for treasure when they were young. As they were dying from old age, they realized that the treasure was underneath the very house they built on the mountain.

      I remember a long hallway made of logs, and a couple of hills on the mountain. I also recall something having to do with white flowers for someone. I think there was also a monster somewhere in there too.

      School
      I was running about all over my school campus. That's all I can remember.

      Rioting
      I was in a big city that had many skyscrapers while a riot was going on and a military force was sent to suppress it. I was with a random dream character investigating the lobby of a closed off tower where we found the owner and a few people hiding. The owner claimed that we were rebels and tried killing us, but we pulled out badges explaining we were part of an investigation team and promptly kicked his ass. I think I woke up since since I can't remember anything beyond that point.

      Fragments
      This fragment took place in a cavern. There was a party being held down there and my grandma pulled out a record player. I tried getting it to work, but it was too old and broken. Someone had said something and I took offense to it, but I don't remember what.

      Conclusion
      I need to up the amount of reality checks I'm doing since it doesn't seem to have an impact in dreams. I could probably try a WILD or incubate a dream, though I'm not sure those will really help. Nevertheless, I'm at least happy I'm recalling a bunch of dreams now.

    9. A lot of People Watching my Videos on Youtube

      by , 12-26-2011 at 07:16 PM (Linkzelda's Dream Journal)
      NON-LUCID

      12/26/11

      Dream 1:

      I'm on YouTube and apparently every video that I posted on my account had at least 300k-400k views. I was pretty surprised since most of them were Runescape videos (I never posted a Runescape video).

      One video was me falling all the way down in Dragon armor and a slayer helm.



      I was going to kill dragons probably because I saw Super Antifire potions and a huge load of Super Restore Potions.



      And people commenting on the videos were basically spamming random crap like they always do on YouTube videos.

    10. Alien Narrative

      by , 12-26-2011 at 04:36 PM
      This one was strange, even for me. I watched "War of the Worlds" last night, so I'm pretty sure that played into it.

      I was walking home with my son, who was younger than he is now. The streets began flooding and I knew the only way to get home was to swim and get to a boat. I left my son with a friendly stranger and told him not to worry, I'd be back with a boat.

      As I entered the water a voice began speaking to me. I completely forgot that I was in the water, the voice had a hypnotic effect on me. It told me that humanity didn't learn our true nature from living in paradise so now we were going to have to learn it the hard way. There would be natural disasters that would force us to come together. The voice said there is no I or you or they, but instead there is only we and us.

      I've had alien dreams before, but not like this one.

    11. Travels

      by , 12-26-2011 at 04:22 PM (Princes' Haven)
      I was island-hopping with my friends, quite literally: jumping and swimming around to get to the nearby islands. There was a big, gold buddha monument and buildings that looked like toys everywhere. My sister held my hand, as she led the way. We dove under. The water was crystal clear blue (much like swimming in the pool). It was beautiful. We resurfaced and waved at our friends. There also were boats and planes around, a cartoony-like image.

      ---
      Upon arriving at a place that was dim and damp, with wooden floors and walls, I was introduced to my fiance. An arranged marriage or so it seems. I recognized him (Hyun-Bin), but in this dream he's just some random guy I met for the first time. We were told to answer slam-book like questions in the blackboard to get to know each other.
      ---
      We were being chased (can't remember who I was with). We trespassed a building that was fenced all around. It looked like a school, a monastery, and a convent all at the same time. The ceilings were low. Walls were cream and maroon-colored. When we passed by a dojo-room with an ongoing martial arts class, we barged in and said we wanted to learn, thinking we could get away from whoever was chasing us. They caught us up though. One guy pointed a big pencil-like weapon (which is weird) directly at my right eye. I feared for my life, but I wasn't able to move either. He wasn't able to hit me because people around saved me.

      Yeah

I was clutching my seat. I almost wanted to jump off suspecting that it was a dream. but I decided not to and just waited in my seat in fear.

    13. Dreamland: Help Wrapping

      by , 12-26-2011 at 01:32 PM
      Dream #1: My GF and I were leaving my house. We were sitting in my car in the drive way and she had presents for everyone. She told me that she still needed to wrap more, and wanted to put a red ribbon on some of them. I looked around my block and noticed most of the houses had long bright red ribbons out front. I had the "brillant" idea: "Why don't we let my next door neighbor wrap your presents!" (In real life I've done nothing but exchange awkward waves with him.)

      Stationed in his driveway was a heavy looking sewing machine from the 50's, for some reason I felt it could be of use (with the ribbons?)...

      Note: My next door neighbor has not taken down his Christmas tree since he put it up before Christmas 2010. I have joked about this a number of times with my GF, and I have lucidly entered his house at least once (see Blackbird Flying. I also caught a reflection of myself in his front window in the lucid dream: Cloud Form)


      Dream #2: I was laying in bed when Fred walked over and laid down in my usual spot. He told me he had been working hard on the computer and his neck was hurting. So he needed to lay down in a special way using my pillow.

      Note: This is the second dream I have recalled in which Fred was in my bedroom as if he lived here. I also recently posted a dream in which I was in his and Katie's room (Stealing Mexican Food)
    14. Basketball and Hunting Bounty

      by , 12-26-2011 at 12:20 PM
      Dream 1
      I was playing basketball in a two-on-two match. The match took place in an arena I don't know which one but Ron Artest was taking the mick. He kept saying stuff like "Not in my house!" and he was always blocking my shots,since he's tall I couldn't do anything nor could my partner, I don't know who Artest's partner was.

      After the match Ron Artest was like "No hard feelings" and drove us home in a blue chevrolet captiva. A dream sign occured when we started driving through a supermarket like Westfield. I still didn't go lucid.

      Dream 2
      I was in college and I left my classroom. I turned into Jango Fett and had to hunt bounty. I decided alive would be best. The bounty was a smart kid who probably skipped detention or something.

      When I found him I didn't taze him but I did shoot some blue thing from the top of my wrist that made him freeze in his position. I tied him up and carried him to the teacher.

      Side Notes
      I had an hypnagogic image. Something happened, I think my Dad read something that didn't make any sense. I made a face like "WUT!" I felt my eyebrows go up and mu face scrunch up. I think I could've gone lucid.

    15. How I kidnapped a Japanese girl

      by , 12-26-2011 at 11:01 AM
      I was on a highschool trip in France when I decided to leave a camping site. I went to Luzern, Switzerland, to find a Japanese girl I've met at IAESTE conference (in reality I met the girl, Yuki Motoda, 3 years after the actual highschool trip, and fell in love with her). I didn't know where to search for her, so I just wandered in the streets, asking random people about her. Most of them didn't reply at all. After a long long time I got into ZHAW campus. I walked in the corridors, asking the students about Yuki Motoda, but most of them didn't know her. I saw Swiss students doing various things - studying, eating their lunch, partying, playing volleyball. I almost gave up. When I asked the last girl in the school eatery about Yuki, she started to laugh. Then I noticed why. Yuki was sitting next to her. She was fast asleep on the table, wearing her favorite green pullover. I grabbed her hand we started to run fast. When we stopped, we were near some creaky, roof-less cottage in Alps. We went in and that was the first time Yuki said something. "Why?", she asked, starring at me. I didn't reply. We went to a cellar of the cottage. There was a horse waiting for us. I lifted her and set her on the horse, then I sat behind her. We left the cottage through some underground corridor. Before we entered the corridor I saw various warning boards. The only one i remember is "The corridor is safe to use, with the exception of blind riders." [Then an alarm of a car near the house woke me up.]
