    1. Entry #4 - The Nightmare Film

      by , 12-20-2011 at 01:23 AM
      I took a nap today from 2pm - 4pm.

      In the dream I was someone else. According to Jung's theory it was my persona. I was part of the cast of a horror movie, except everything seemed so real, it might have been just me thinking "wow, this is just like a movie." I was with three others in a white, crappy car heading for a lakehouse.

      In waking life I had read a creepypasta (a scary short story) about a woman staying with her grandmother in her basement. Her mother died and soon she began to see her mother in her basement, so she boarded it up, afraid.
      In the dream this woman needed our help. I don't know what significance we had, but we went to her house on a lake.
      Her home was on an island, surrounded by fir tree. Everything was more vivid than usual.
      There was a rotting old boardwalk that crossed the lake to her island .This boardwalk branched out. At the end of one branch was a few boys playing. at another end the boardwalk rotted and there were alligators. For some reason I chose to head that way instead of onward to the house.
      At this point I think I realized I was dreaming. Things were weird - I felt as though it was a video game and I was looking over my boyfriend's shoulder, telling him how to beat the level.
      I woke up.

      But I wasn't awake - it was sleep paralysis. I have SP often, but never this severe. It was hard to breathe, and I could feel the struggle for air. I was frightened of the strange, loud rumbling sound. My HH are usually whispers. I had fallen asleep on my right side, in my boyfriend's house, on his bed. At the foot of his bed are three large construction signs - one specifically reading 'DO NOT ENTER' in traditional black and white pattern. I remember it being reversed, the colors flipped. I could only open one eye, and could read it very vividly on the sign. My vision was shaking, so it was hard to read. I looked over, and I could see who my boyfriend was talking to on Skype - read their names clearly. I thought, "Perhaps this is a false awakening." I couldn't move to check reality, so I felt it was just SP. So I went back to sleep.

      My boyfriend - someone who I felt was my real boyfriend, but didn't look like him - and I were circling the house alone. there was a pair of basement doors against the white-sidled, Victorian - era house on the island. My boyfriend didn't see them and was standing on them. I shouted to him just before I slipped out of the dream.

      I was in SP again. I looked at the digital clock on the wall - 3 pm. I was terrified. I'd never had two bouts of SP like this, same time, one right after the other before. I tried to fight it - something that usually works for me. The rumbling and my usual HH were there, though the hands crept up the side of the bed because I couldn't see the door. it was very hard to breathe, and the same words kept rattling in my head as if someone was saying them to me - "If you keep speaking I'll make that creepy smile." I tried to talk - I could open my mouth, and say "Aah!" softly. My boyfriend's name is Austin. I was trying to call out to him, afraid, but I was so quiet and he had headphones on, talking to people on skype. I tried again, but after "aah" I couldn't form the 'st' part. My tongue was thick and breathing was a struggle. I think I almost passed out. I fought my SP as hard as I could - I usually can break from it without too much trouble.

      I was in SP today for an hour and a half.
      when I snapped out of it I gasped for air, which caused Austin to turn around and come to me. I know it was SP because he says he heard my going "Aah!" softly, but didn't think much of it. I was so scared and weak and lightheaded. My mind is still a little dizzy. I was very thirsty. My body still feels suppressed.

      Welcome to my DJ. This is where I'll get track of all my dreams (non-lucids and hopefully lucid ones too). Because english is not my main language, I will firstly write in portuguese and then I'll re-write in english.

      I choose this banner because what I think it was a lucid experience was a dream about a blue beach. I was there during the night when I realized that I was dreaming. The feeling was great but at the same time a bit weird. That's why I call this Journal "Mystical World of Dreams".

    4. Fluffy Food Warehouse

      by , 12-20-2011 at 12:44 AM
      I was at my old job, working in the wareshouse. I was driving the fork truck and carrying out my duties. Then a stack of pallets fell over, people were scrambling around and it just felt weird. I pinched my nose and breathed in and out, at first it didn't work, then it did, but only in 1 nostril which was weird. So anyway, I know it's a dream now and i'm lucid, although not 100% in control, I begin to climb up the racking and for some reason, the racking is not metal anymore, its made of those cotton buds you're not supposed to clean your ears with, huge cotton thingys. All the contents of the racking is food goods, lots of sweets and chocolates etc, it's amazing. I knock something off the racking, I am very high up at this point, I see DC's running to pick it up, I find this funny so I do it more and throw chocolate bars at them, i'm so childish lol. Anyway, I am able to climb more and more for some reason, there are other DC's up there too. I guess this is where I lose lucidity as the last thing I remember is DC's chasing me. I am alsmost sure there was more to this dream however I just wanted it typed before I forget completely.

      Thanks for reading

      Some twins were mentally ill. I was carrying my stuff in a laundry basket.

      Neighbors kid, who is all grown up now, got out of jail and pulled a gun on someone at the corner grocery store. We got away from there and called cops. We took refuge in and abandoned building nearby. Watched it all happen from there.

      12/19/11 AFTERNOON NAP

      NON-LUCID

      I decided to take a nap in the afternoon and managed to get a few dreams in.

      Dream 1:

      I'm in a restaurant, this lady who looks Hispanic eventually offers her seat to me. I asked her if she was sure, and she said "Yes" with a smile on her face. I sat down and this random DC takes the other empty seat and gives me an overview on a slideshow presentation on people that were in my place of birth. I just went with the flow and agreed to everything he said. I think I was eating something while he was talking.

      It looked like cake but when I cut it, it was like jello. I can't remember the taste, but it probably tasted good because I kept eating it. While the guy informs me more of these random people, I could recognize a few names, but I don't recall ever knowing them in waking life.



      That's all I remember for that one.


      Dream 2:


      I was in my AP Human Geography class, and we were going to watch a movie that looked like Star Wars. It looked like it because apparently Anakin Skywalker was going through some drawing lesson in making swirls. The guy before him did a horrible job doing so, and Anakin did a better job. Our teacher said we can watch the movie and draw on the other screen while watching it, or we could do something else.



      I decided to ignore the movie because I had a piece of paper in front of me with very small glass square within each square that was drawn. And if you could fill them all up, the teacher would give us extra credit. I counted how many I needed, and 6 or so were empty, so I asked the teacher and he ended up giving me 7.



      After I finally filled the rest, I just sat there for some reason instead of asking the teacher.

      This is when the dream starts to change to where I'm outdoors. I believe I was standing on light gray-black bricks and was holding on to the side of some medium that was layered in brick as well that had grass on top of it. I couldn't remember exactly, but I knew there was something on top.



      I was looking around a little bit and saw random DCs, but couldn't recognize any familiar faces. I'm back in my AP Human Geography class I had in High School again, and I asked a student if it was too late to turn in the paper with glass squares stuck to them to the teacher. The DC said that you can, but he doesn't know if he'll change my grade on time.

      So I go to the teacher who is a few feet away from us. I give him the sheet and asked him if I can still give it to him, and I also added that I wouldn't mind if he couldn't, and hoped he would still take it anyway.


      He looked a bit worried at first, but he said I'll would be given points, but not as much as I would if I turned it in earlier. I thanked him and went back to sit. While I was sitting I turn to my right and I see a person who was on the Cypress Lakes Tennis team, but he moved to another school I believe. He was #1 I think for varsity, and his right left was amputated, and the casting was pink and black.



      It didn't surprise me he had that kind of color for the leg, since he was a bit silly in waking life and would act immature, and I think it's because he has wealthy parents, so it made him a bit spoiled, but I won't assume anything else from him.

      We waited for a while, and I was listening to the guy talk to another guy about something, and then someone said it was time to leave class, we all got up, and that's all I remember.

    9. Inception, many re-enteries and false awakenins

      by , 12-19-2011 at 10:25 PM
      The dream seemed to start at a random location. I figured out that I was dreaming just because of the wierdness of the location. I Found a metal fence in the dream, and did a backflip off from it, which surprisingly felt exactly how mybackflips feel in real life. I tried getting my cousin to do it, and she failed. Then there were some kids and i tried proving to them that this was a dream. Now after this, there were many moments where the dream seemingly ended, and I came back and became lucid once again in a similar fashion.

      I remember another side chain of events where I was with some friends from church, and i tried proving that we were dreaming the whole time. I remember flying around and calling out to them, I also oddly remember smokin weed before going into one of their parents houses, which felt pretty awkward and I felt a little high. I was flying really fast around a parking lot that we went to afterwards.

      This cycle of falseawakenings into the same location over and over seemed to trigger lucidity really fast. Inception was one of the things I was thinking about before sleeping. I remember walking through a hallway, with my partner, some random kid from my school who i don't remember. We brought a few girls with us in this hallway, and we were all rolling shoppping carts. Apparently, the shopping carts were our transport into the dream, and on the front of them was written our status ( Hazard: Drowsy levels increasing, losing wakefullness) or something to that extent was written on them.

      As we walked through the hallways with more people appearing, my partner and i started telling the girls about dreams and the difference between reality and awakening. The girls seemed intrigued but my partner and I knew that that was about to increase tenfold. Once we passed the green line and got outside, the mark on the shopping carts said something along the lines of unconscious or something that indicated we were no longer awake, as we had passed the portal to a dream. We asked the girls if they felt any different right now, and they didnt notice, then we went on to tell them that we are all dreaming and started to prove it in really wierd ways.

      We were close to a burger king and my partner said, "look, if we want potato salad at burger king, we're gonna get it!" At this point I jumped onto one of the cars in the drivethrough, punched a hole throug the windshield and took the guys sandwich and started eating it. I looked at the girls and said "see?", then I jumped and flew onto a building and made it topple down as i fell along with it and the dream ended.

    10. Life or death

      by , 12-19-2011 at 10:14 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was in sone place, and it was dark. I knew there was some kind of disease in the air, and you would die if you stayed there too long. Everyone had a bubble shaped like a heart above their heads, indicating how long they had left. I saw Brandon, and his bubble was really low. I grabbed him and trie to take him back but by then it was too late. I ran out and opened up a refrigerator in the room. I pulled out a drawer, reveaing a secret room, and jumped in. I'd be safe from the virus in there.
    11. blue monkey

      Alright, so I was at the supermarket, shopping I assume, and saw an old teacher of mine. I went up to him and shook his hand - then I became lucid. The scene changed to my bedroom where I was on my bed observing the bizarre situation of myself frozen on the bed with another me in work clothes. Don't make me try to explain that any better. Then I closed my eyes and felt waves and waves of vibrations. I opened my eyes and saw a little blue monkey facing away from me on my desk chair. I remembered reading about seeing things during SP and so I closed my eyes again because I was sightly scared of the monkey. More waves of SP. I opened my eyes again and the monkey was staring straight at me. I pulled myself out of bed, because I wanted to go visit my roommate. I was really heavy and everything became blurry as I lumbered across my room. I shouted 'clarity' but nothing happened. The monkey was still watching, and I was freaked that it was just gonna like jump at me or something, but it didn't. As soon as I got to the door, the dream ended.

      Ok, so I've been having a lot of lucids lately, which makes me think it's time to start recording them properly. Here's one from a few days ago:

      I opened my eyes and was on the spare bed at my parents house. I was lucid. I walked out into the kitchen but immediately 'woke up' again on the spare bed. I went out to the kitchen again. Woke up again on the bed. This repeated a few times and was pretty annoying. I eventually made it out the back door and onto the deck. It was nighttime. I tried to make people appear but nothing happened. I wanted to go to my house so I flew up into the night sky but I couldn't see anything and the dream went black. I was forced to land back on the deck. That's literally all that happened.

      All I remember is being in a swamp and there being a giant frog and then being in my room and holding the frog by it's leg trying to kill it with a spell and it not dying. It said it could only be killed by weapons. I was too lazy to write when I got up this morning.

    14. Lack of sleep leads to a possible new way to enter dream state...

      by , 12-19-2011 at 07:37 PM
      So I haven't been sleeping well lately. I also have not been having LD's for a while.

      I had two very brief ones over the course of the last week. I wrote about one already. The next day I also had a very brief one.

      I went to bed about 3-4 am and couldn't sleep. I stared into the blackness and tried to get some visuals going.

      After a few hours of nothing I began to see bright colors, vivid techni-colors like walls. I imagined it like a tunnel and tried to create an opening like a circle at the other end.

      I could see through the tunnel and on the other end was my dream space. I had been thinking earlier in the night about dreaming I was in Florida by the pool.

      There it was right through the color tunnel. I managed to reach it and could feel myself split between my physical body and dream body. I was by the pool and in bed.

      It switched over to me just being by the pool. I was very excited. The dream wasn't fully formed. Everything was blank or unfinished. I remember jumping into the pool of water then going over to the side of the pool and picturing a girl there.

      She was there but she had no features. No face, just a blank body. I remember reaching over to her to bring her closer to me and the dream started to fade and then my consciousness slipped fully back into my body.

      As I lied in bed sleepless I began to slip off into small patches of sleep and wake back up again. At first I didn't notice but I began to recall having dreams. They weren't long. I must have been falling asleep for short periods of time like 5-15 mins tops then waking back up again.

      I tried to focus on the blackness and tried to "spin" my vision. Like a mini-galaxy I spun what little white there was around and around. It is a little hazy what happened next but I think I opened another "portal" and entered a LD state.

      I recall getting out of bed and walking up the stairs on the inside of my house. I know it was my house because as I walked up to the third floor I looked at the wall and saw there was no window. In my house there are two windows there and I saw they were absent. I remembered realizing it was SUPPOSED to be there. I was forming the dream around me and just had not added the windows.

      I walked into the third floor apt looking for people but no one was there and once again the place was not "fully formed yet". The place was being "built" around me.

      I don't recall much else except the fact that the LD wasn't very long and it faded away like the other.

      I sent my daughter off to school then laid back down to try to get some sleep but it still wouldnt come.

      Eventually I started to drift off into very small periods of sleep again (only a few minutes each) however they were semi-lucid dreams. I was lucid to a certain degree and only had control over my own actions, not the environment.

      I must have had about 10 of these mini segmented LDs before I finally just got out of bed.
    15. Martial arts, wood crafts store

      by , 12-19-2011 at 07:31 PM (Hypatia's Dream Journal)
      I was about high school aged, and my martial arts class had just finished. I was waiting for my mom to pick me up with a group of other martial arts students. Drunkenness was somehow involved - at one point I was helping people find designated drivers.

      I wakjed next door to the martial arts school and into a wood crafts shop. I talked with the shop owner, who told me what her store was doing for the community. I put a piece of tape from a wooden dispenser on my nose, waited, and pulled it away quickly to remove blackheads.

      Note: No lucidity in days, though I'm doing frequent reality checks. A bit frustrating.
