WILD

I see an image of me swimming through the water....almost feels like a game. Everything transitions perfectly....and I'm actually doing the swimming. I'm in some ancient underground area. The walls are made of stones, and there are painted murals. Just really old stuff. ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE'S A LOUD BANG AND i WOKE UP.

Okay, subconscious. I get it. There's something important in my life pertaining to academics and/or college. Thank you. Can I have a new theme to my dreams please?

Well, in this particular dream, I was in a class being taught by my real-life boss. She seemed nervous, but got confident as she spoke. Afterward, other people in the class (they were a mix of real-life college and high school friends) talk about how they want to drop her class. I try to convince them not to, but I considered changing one of my classes to "Advanced Powerpoint". Weird, right? I apparently really wanted to learn about Powerpoint presentations.

I'm in the student union with my friends grabbing something to eat, when this guy who looks a lot like Orlando Bloom comes up to me and starts chatting me up. He asks me to pick out dice of a certain color. He wanted to use them at a friend's wedding for some reason, and couldn't decide on a color. He only had two dice in his hand, but they kept changing color. It was really cool. I chose a really surreal deep mauve sort of color. Then we flirted for a bit. Aw yeah.

Man, I hope my dreams start getting more interesting. Maybe the problem is how I'm going to sleep really late and surfing the web right before I go to bed. I need to change that.

NON-LUCID
We were following these people (I didn’t know who was with me, but I just felt something). We were chasing these people who were trying to get some files. I think I was with my mother now.

We were going through a hallway and the elevator was broke. There was an alternative way to get to them.




There were two walls close to each other and I had to use my weight to shift upwards. (Kind of like in Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones)



Then I see the files that we need, the criminals had one half but we had the other half they needed.

They heard that we got the files. At first they thought we were bluffing but they decided to chase after us.


But there were on the other side so it gave us enough time to escape.

I slide down the same walls and the dream ends there.

The next dream is that I’m with EVA from Metal Gear Solid 3. Blondes are recurring characters for me, and I’ve wanted to meet Eva for a while now.



We had to assassinate some old lady driving a car. At first it was easy shooting her, but then I had to kill her again for some odd reason, as if the dream just repeated the scene in a harder difficulty.

I tried to shoot her with the machine gun that I couldn’t hear, but she still kept driving really fast (granny has some skills!) and we could barely catch up to her with our own.



I got really mad and decided to get off the vehicle and dash towards this woman and set mines to let her explode.

Then I decided to make a run for it since the police heard about it. I completely forgot about EVA following all this time, but I felt her presence with me, so I didn’t worry too much on it.

I think I was riding a Soap Box Derby vehicle with blue and white colors mixed in it. I was in a position as if I was laying on my bed, and had a black control lever on my left and right side to steer the vehicle.





As I dash towards two cops who were just receiving the news, instead of driving too fast to make things suspicious, I decided to park to the nearest fast food place, which was Whataburger apparently. I get out of the vehicle and dashed, then I realized Eva was following me.



I stopped and turned around and told her “Come on Eva! Let’s go!” Dream ends.

Then I’m going towards this hill and I there were a group of people that were drunk, and I was afraid to go near them because they looked like they would do something wild.



They didn’t do anything to me though, but I just walk past them pondering on what they would do behind my back. I kept walking and see more drunk people.

Then the dream switches and I see Odd from Code Lyoko and Jim grabs his hand and Odd is asking what is wrong with Jim.



Then the scenario switches where Odd was the bad guy and the Principal comes in and says he should be arrested. Jim tells the principle that he’ll take care of Odd, and that he shouldn’t be arrested.




Then Jim randomly flips a pot. I think that was a day residue from reading Queen Zukin’s where I saw a post of a picture of a pot and nothing else lol. After that the dream ends. LOL

I was in Aida's (a famous chicken inasal eatery in Bacolod), with some friends. We ordered a pitso and a paa, and a few smaller stuff, I think, but I'm not sure. Joerome was a chef or something, serving behind the counter. He asked me if I already had mine served. I said no, I just ordered, and I'm waiting for the number. They were moving other people's orders through that window/counter. Finally, one of them gave me the number.

I went back to the seat with my friends. I had to arrange the number so that it's easily visible to the waiter.

I was outside the eatery. Emerald came out and told me the food's already served. I returned, but instead of going the roundabout way through the door, I walked straight through the glass, thinking about astral travel. I didn't go through the glass; it opened like a glass door. I sat down and found that the others ate a lot already. I complained jokingly, and they also jokingly replied that's what I get for arriving late. I think there were three of them there: Emerald, Chris and Grey.

I was in our living room with some friends. We were talking with one, in particular. A guy with long hair, a bit skinny. We talked about stuff, and then finally pointed out zodiac signs. The guy was reading a book about it, and he said he's not sure what sign he is. We asked his birthday. He said February 3 (not sure if he said the year). We told him he's Aquarius. I borrowed the book he was reading. I looked at the window to the outside.

I entered a bathroom. Andrei was there, peeing on the toilet. I thought he was done, and I peed on the toilet too. I saw his penis, and he doesn't seem to mind.

When he was about to go out, I told him to just close the bathroom door. He did, but while both of us were still inside it. Then he turned around and looked at me. I somehow sensed what he wanted.

Aliens were occupying the Earth. They were doing something to people through long tentacles hanging from their low flying crafts, spraying water. Some people started to dress like them in hope they will think we like them and won't be killed. It was a tall yellow-black metalic cape. I tried to buy me one too. I picked out a light blue cape that came with pants. it was different material and looked different. I had some money to buy it, but not enough. I tried to give shopkeeper some of my posessions, untill next day, when I would come back and give him rest of the money. But I was worried, he won't give me back my stuff - it was some letters, postcards, stuff from school.

I was (or we were) being chased. We were inside a mall, and I jumped over to other floors and run up escalators to avoid the chaser. Then I was in a forest of sorts. Or maybe a park. I used a flying unicycle. I encountered the inspector (who was chasing us) down at the plaza (unfamiliar). He tried to grab me, but I was able to push him back. I keep trying to avoid him in that area, but he's fast.

I felt very uneasy seeing him. Like he's going to do something bad to me. But since he's an inspector, and I'm probably a thief of sorts, I might have done something wrong, and he's just trying to bring me to justice.

I remember this quite well.

I wake up and walk to the kitchen to get some water, I remember on the way that my Mom, sister, best friend and maybe my Dad are visiting my apartment. I reach the kitchen and notice the door which usually is locked is open. In real life this door contains the water heater and AC units. I look behind the door and notice instead of the AC units I see another beautiful apartment.
As I walk in I notice its wood-floored spacious and beautiful. At first I thought this was part of our apartment as I notice a table with chairs around it where my mom and sister were eating dinner last night.

I then notice people sitting on the couch watching TV and realize this is someone else's apartment that the door leads to. I quickly walk back to my apartment and once back I encounter an old friend from a couple years ago. I ask him what he is doing here and he tells me he lives in the apartment next door. I notice his sister is sitting on my couch watching TV.

I seem to remember that this dream was actually a continuation of an earlier one where my mom and sister had left my apartment and I was taking a nap. I remember them saying they were going out, but I can't remember much of the earlier dream. My best friend also went with them and I remember seeing his laptop in my old room mates empty room.

Anyways, I talk to my other friend for a while and grab a zip-loc bag filled with snacks(Some type of sweet chips) then I think I hear a knocking with my Dad's voice. I reach the door, saying "hold on, hold on." When I open it, there is no one there but the apartment across the hall is closing their door, so I guess it was someone knocking on there side.

I notice it's snowing outside so I decide to go for a walk. This part gets weird. I 'm walking and its snow everywhere, I'm reminded of the song, Winter Wonderland. As I walk I notice people sitting on their balconies? The layout of the apartments is all different and the balconies are facing me and don't have rails on them.

I pass 2 groups of people, the first are playing spin the bottle on their balcony. The second are playing some strange game with an animal. At first it looks like a polar bear, and I'm concerned about how they got a polar bear. As I get closer though I realize its some type of large bird, like a duck.

They are rolling a dice then telling the bird to move that many spaces on a sheet of ice. As I pass by eating my snack, the bird tries to follow me. One of the guys stops it and blocks it from moving with his foot.

I think the dream ends here.

November 11, 2011

I had a pretty memorable dream for 11/11/11. I even became a smidgen lucid! It was a bit scary, but not really a nightmare, more action-y. Here it goes...

I was in some sort of fort in a forest. Some Asian people came in and said that they were moving in. This part was blurry, so I can't exactly remember everything.

Next, I had left the fort, because I had to practice for cross-country. It was at Holmdel, where I had my meet this morning (which was next morning last night). My team was running, and we came to a lake. My friend Rob explained that it was called Medusa Lake, because anyone who fell into it was turned to stone. Needless to say, we went around it.

We came across a large mansion. We could hear noises inside, and it sounded like a party. Knocking on the door, an older man appeared, dressed in a red velvet bathrobe. "Come in, come in!" He said. "There's always room for more at my parties!" He seemed nice enough, so we stepped inside. There was a huge chandelier, and the whole place was decorated lavishly. "My name is Jaggers," the man explained. "Why don't you come into the dining hall? I was just about to make a speech!" We followed him on, and found ourselves in a large room with guests dressed in suits and gowns. I felt a bit underdressed for the occasion in my running clothes.

"Attention! Attention everyone! Are you enjoying the party?" Jaguars asked. A murmur of yes's came from the crowd. "Good," he said. "Because you are never going to leave!" Suddenly, he shot out beams of magic from his hands, which hit a lady in a long blue dress. Instantly, she began to transform into a tiger. Everyone screamed, and Jaggers began to transform more people. "We need to get out of here!" I yelled. "Oh no you don't!" he cackled. Flying towards us, we made a dash for the door. When we got outside, he yelled, "Curses!" and didn't follow us.

There were only a couple of us left; everyone else had been transformed. "What will we do now?" asked Brian. "We should probably move," I suggested. "Jaggers might come back." We began to run, and suddenly I thought, Gee, this is usually the part of a dream where a bear comes out and begins to chase me! Sure enough, one was right there. Wait a sec... This is a dream! I'm dreaming! I made the bear disappear, but I lost lucidity right away.

I came up to Medusa Lake, and began to shimmy along a fence in order not to fall in. I climbed under the fence, and my dream slowly started to fade away...

Analysis: I had my cross-country meet earlier today, which was tomorrow last night, so I was really looking forward to it. Medusa Lake, I don't really know where it came from. Jaggers is the name of a character in a book I'm reading in school, Great Expectations, but he's a lawyer, not an evil wizard. The woman who transformed into a tiger might have to do with the fact that there was a tiger in one part of a movie I had watched. Some Asian guys too. But the fort, I don't have a clue about.

I was riding in a car with my dad, brother, and a friend. I was staring out the window when suddenly I became lucid. I tried to open the car door and jump out but just as I reached for the handle I could feel myself waking up. I tried to stabilize the dream but seeing as I have no idea how to do that I failed. Lucid for 4 seconds, yay

I had a couple nonlucids last night. I'm getting really, really close to having a DILD, I'm starting to notice strange things in my dreams.

The first dream was the cool one. You ever play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 2? You know the level where Starkiller rides the tram thing and has to fight the big ship before it destroys the tram so he can get to the arena? Well I dreamt I was riding that tram (normally, not on top), and that it was going through outer space from one planet to another. Suddenly, an absolutely massive ship comes up to the side of the tram and starts shooting at it. It turned out that I was a Force Sensitive person (not a Jedi or Sith, just a normal person who could use the Force) and that I was supposed to be like a novice at using the Force or something. Well, me being absolutely awesome (=3), I was able to use my Force abilities to make a bubble of air around me (which was apparently a really high level Force ability) so that I could jump from the tram to the ship. So I climb out onto the side of the tram, and just as the ship shoots a laser at the tram, I leap across through space onto the ship. I use the Force to break a hole into the side of the ship and get inside. Turns out it's a CIS ship, and droids start coming after me. I use the Force to kill droids as I run through the ship to the bridge. Just before I get to the bridge, these big spider-droid things come out and attack me. The spider-droids are each about 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide and long, with 8 legs and these big pincers that shoot lasers. I use the Force to rip them apart and the dream switches.

Now I'm outside of my house with my cousin. We enter, but it turns out that my house is now my grandparents' house. We say our hellos and watch TV for a bit, and then I go to take a shower to go to bed. I go upstairs, but instead of going into my room, I go into my mom's (or in the case of this dream, my grandparent's) room. I'm carrying my clothes from before I took the shower, and I reach into my pants pocket and pull out a pipe and a little bag of weed (which is odd that I had these as I quit a while ago to keep my recall up for lucid dreaming. This is what I'm talking about; I noticed that I was doing something that I wouldn't normally be doing [1. smoking pot, and 2. smoking pot in my mom's room] irl, but I didn't do an RC). I pack the pipe and take a hit, and immediately I'm high (and very high, at that). My grandpa yells,
"What's that damn smell?!?!?"
So I go into a closet and pull out a can of Old Spice body spray and pretty much fill the room with it. I go into my room and get dressed, then I go back into my mom's room and make sure the smell is gone. I go back to my room, but my cousin is in the hallway. The hallway is arranged like this:

-----------------------------------------------I
------------------------------------------W-I ]
I I
The - and I are walls, and the ] is my doorway, with the opposite end being my mom's room.
On the wall right in front of my door (marked with the W) is a hole in the wall. I've been known to mess up a bit when I'm high and knock things down and whatnot, so my cousin asks me,
"Dude, did you make that hole? And why did you smoke in the house?"
The dream ends.

I'm looking at a map with little landmarks. A female voice behind me tells me to sketch a river on the map with ny finger. I move my finger from the bottom of the map to the top.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because," she says, "it is going to be the river I throw you in if you continue to bother me."

Awake - Dream - Lucid
"..." shows where time in the dream is missing.

Time: Night of 11/11/11 or Afternoon of 11/12/11

I can only remember bits and pieces of this dream. I was woken up by my dad, but I fell back asleep and I think that's when I had it, but I'm not sure.

I go to bed way too late, like almost 3 AM. I go to bed listening to a lucid dream induction video on my iPod. (The one I listen to currently can be found here.) I try to think about how easy lucid dreaming is, and what I'm going to do in the dream, (as prescribed in Silverbullet's Key to Lucid Dreaming). Eventually I fall asleep.

I wake up, but still lie in bed. My dad comes in to wake me up because it's like 1:15 PM. He leaves and I lie there for a bit. I drift back to sleep and I think that's when I have this dream:

... I was overlooking some massive, beautiful city from a hill. The city looked kind of futuristic, and had glistening tall buildings. It was near the sea, and the sun was setting...
With a group of some of my classmates from school, we were being told about some upcoming train ride. I don't remember what the train ride was for, exactly. I was asked if I wanted to be some sort of handout person on the train, handing out information to other people about something which I can't remember...
We are on the train now, but the room we are in certainly doesn't feel like a train car. It is a large cafeteria type room, with tables set up with free food. Although this obviously didn't look like a train, my mind still told me I was on the train. There were windows. I looked out and saw that we were on an elevated track on some sort of bridge thing extending over some beautiful, misty river valley. It looked like a very cool environment...
In the cafeteria car thing I'm eating donuts, I can't remember if I actually tasted them...
I'm looking out a window in a different car, which is still too big to really be on a train. I look out a window at the scenery below, which is similar to the aforementioned river valley. I walk away from the window towards some hallway-thing, and hear a girl from school laugh. I turn around and imitate the sound. I walk into the hallway thing, which I can now tell is an actual train car inside, as in how one should normally look. It's very narrow, with some seats facing forward, on the inner side (I don't know how there can be an inner side of a train, but it didn't have windows), and seats facing inward below some long windows. There are a ton of people from my class in this row, standing up. They were told to begin doing the handouts. I saw one of my friends was wearing a vest that said "Baptist Church" on the back, which confused me because I know he isn't Baptist. My mind tells me the train is now headed back to the city, though I didn't remember stopping anywhere in the dream. I felt happy that I didn't decide to be a handout giver, but I don't know why now...
The scene is now a flyby of the train from the outside. It is on an elevated rail still, over a massive ocean. The sun is either rising or setting, and the train was shaped like a normal train! There were no bulges from big cafeteria cars or anything! Inside the windows I could see people sitting in their seats, riding home.

I wake up, but don't remember that I had been dreaming for a few minutes. I finally do remember after feeling sad that I didn't have any dreams. That's when I got up to write this.


This is the first dream I can remember having since I joined DV. I want to make good use of this journal. This is a good way of keeping track of dreams since my computer's in my room and I hate writing by hand. I want to maintain a constant format for my dream recordings so that it becomes easier to recognize dream signs and such.

NOTES

• I don't know for sure if I had the dream during the night or after I woke up and fell back to sleep, it just seems like it happened after I fell back asleep.
• The fact that I was confused by my friend wearing the "Baptist Church" vest is interesting because it shows that I was able to remember real-world facts even while dreaming. This could help on my path to LDing.

In the village from before, a peaceful afternoon turns into hell. The main gate to the village is blasted down and an army dressed in red pours in. They set fire to some of the buildings and do not stop until they are met with our own resistance army. As the two forces are in battle I and someone else help put out the fires and rebuild the buildings. Then we head off to fight the battle.
