Anyway, I'm in this house thing, it seems indian.. for some reason. We're going to this wedding, Laura tells me to smile when I come out of the house, because there are lots of media. Dad's going to walk down the street and get a limo, but I hop in a flash car. "Dad!" I shout, he looks over. "What time will I see you?"
He begins to answer, but the car I'm in starts drifting around the house. "DUDE!" I say, in disbelief at how rude this guy is. We come around again, and I attempt to communicate with dad, but the guy revs his engine, to stop us hearing each other, and we drive down the street, I look back, and dad is walking where he's supposed to go. The guy starts talking to me, but it sounds exactly like my dad. I can't tell if it is, because I can't see him. Suddenly he says something along the lines of "It's hard to tell, this one time I indicated left, and went up two streets and turned right infront of the guy who was turning left" I watched him do exactly this, and we were in a small shopping centre parking lot thingy. I get out of the car, and walk towards the record store, I wake up.
I attempt to deild, but it doesn't work.

Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid

Sept. 20, 2011, Tuesday: I am in my parents' house, trying to turn off the lights before they get home. But the lights won't stay off.
As I walk up the stairs I think that this reminds me of dreams I've had.
Then I am in my old bedroom. I have to get ready for church. My janitor uniform is laid out on the bed. I am trying to have a shower and get dressed, but I can't get any privacy. My whole family is there, and some other people. I am in a towel and feeling anxiety.
I yell out "I'm going to sleep!" and get in bed with my towel.

Then I become mostly lucid and my mom's face appears right in my face. I yell at her "I cut the [energy] bond between us!" I press her face in and sort of consume her.

Notes: I have not gone to church in many years, and I haven't worked as a janitor in a long time. It seems that parts of my past were coming back to bother me in this dream.
I wasn't sure if absorbing my mother was a good idea. I could have just made her vanish, or go away. But I guess consuming her dream figure is like reclaiming the energy she takes from me.

NOTE: I'm not sure if this is lucid or false awakening since I had control over it - just I didn't try anything crazy because I thought it was real, but the strangeness of the dream didn't phase me. I just accepted it as reality.

I started my dream somewhere far off, in the country. I had to walk with my parents and brothers to somewhere with people. As I walked they all went away one by one with no point or me noticing until I woke up that by the end of the journey they were all gone. Anyway, as I was walking through the hills and trees I saw a train track. Beside me I saw a police officer, we started talking as we followed the train track. I am not lucid at this point. I get to know the police officer fairly well when I see some strange man in black appear in different parts of the forest surrounding us (he would appear somewhere at the corner of my eye and then teleport to somewhere else). So we run into the first house we see and I look inside it and its the police officer's bones. The man is closing in on me. I see a train pull up to the house/train station I am in. I black out.

I wake up lucid on the train. I remember saying to myself, this is odd - how did I get on the train. "Well I blacked out, I'll just see where it goes and I'll get off and call my parents." When I think parents I see my mom appear in the seat beside me. I say, "I thought I was alone. What are we doing on the train? We were in the forest not to long ago.". She looks at me with horror and the train rolls. It starts to get a mix of zero gravity and I am spinning the train is flipping through the air and then falling the other way (barrel roll to back-over-end and back). Then I think something is wrong! I can't die like this! I take my chances unbuckle and jump out the cockpit of the train.

I fall on the ground at the house I blacked out in. Instead of being in an isolated forest I see that the train has not even left the station. From the outside the train is well - outside and not in a station. Go into the station in front of it and the train is in a black tunnel going on forever. I see the train had a problem with latching onto the track. So obviously, the train is flying and flipping and moving back and forth without hitting walls and without gravity or friction. I grab the train with my hands and pull it back to me. Its like its on ice. The train slides to me and then I step onto the train to get the passengers out of it, I take my foot off the ground and the train goes ape$h!!@ again.
I remember telling myself the only logical problem is that it is plugged into the wall. So I unplug the train and I remove the mangled bodies out of the train..

Looking back at the dream I wasn't making logical decisions, but I felt some kind of consciousness in the dream like it all made sense at the time. Instead of the movie like dream I remember the thought process that went on with the decisions I made. So it wasn't lucid or a false awakening.

As strange as the title is I can guaraantee you the dream was even more strange. However, before I get to that: some side notes.

Sixth DJ entry on dream views. As for my regular DJ, I have entries scattered all over the place (computer, iPhone, notebook, etc.) I'll organize it all at some point perhaps.

Insomnia is still gone so I'm proud of that, although last night I couldn't really recall any of my dreams. Had a nice sleep though.

Also, as promised, this is my first DJ entry with a visual element to it. So hope you enjoy all the effort I put into my 2 minute sketches.

That's it for news today!

-Cheers!

Had a nightmarish dream about a nightmare grocery store in a cave giving away free food for a crowd of millions.

Dream

So I'm in this ridiculously scary dream. I just remember it being night-time and extremely dark. I was driving in a car to this event where millions of people gathered to pick up free food at this nightmare grocery store. So as I'm driving along I see emergency vehicles directing traffic around this cave in the ground. It seemed as if there were millions of people. As I'm driving a police officer directs me to a parking lot on the side of where everyone is standing.

When I get out of the car I'm standing in this huge centre with a 100metre tall ceiling. I leave the car behind and try to find a way in to the cave. Since we were underground in this centre, there seemed to be doors on the wall of the centre which people could use to get inside the cave / nightmare grocery store. Walkways surrounded the place and I went on one to try and see if I could get inside from there, however in the end I found it that it was an illusion. The walkways led no where and you would actually need to walk around to the cave entrance to get in.



I walked back the way I came from with the route I took to get to the parking lot. Eventually, I end up in the centre of where everyone is standing and find out I need to jump into the hole in the ground. Most people hesitated to jump because it was a pretty high fall but after a while people jumped in.


The Cave Entrance.

I jump in. The place I'm standing in now looks like an extremely hellish place. The floors were red and rocky. The atmosphere was cold and people inside looked absolutely miserable in the dark environment. However, people stayed. The environment might have sucked but the free food was something everyone came for. Strangely enough, I ended up having a craving for cheerios and I went out on a search to find some.


Imagine this but packed with people and groceries.

I searched for a box of cheerios for a while when I saw one in this room I was standing in. However, as I tried to grab it a mother with her family just stood there looking at me and said, "That is not your box, go find your own." Hungry, I tried to lie about it just grab the box of cheerios. "Uhmm... I'm pretty sure this is mine, I left it here when I went to go look for my shoes."

Worst Excuse Ever.

The woman just looked at me with a strange look on her face. She wasn't buying it. So instead of arguing with her I just decided to give up on that box and find another somewhere else. Eventually, I get to this giant lava pool which was the grocery store's bakery section. I thought to myself, "Ah, they have to have it here. This place is huge!"



I enter the room and see a staff member stocking the shelves of the bakery section which bordered the giant lava pool. "Excuse me," I said, "Do you happen to have cheerios here?"
"No, not here. However you can get them from this room up ahead. The only thing is that you need to go through this life-threatening type puzzle." (sort of like portal with a lot of deadly lasers)

I couldn't believe this. I ended up trying the puzzles but I was to scared that I would die so I went back to talk that guy again. Just as I walk up to him I see a box of cheerios on the shelves. Quickly, I grab the box and few other baked goods and run off.

I walk through this hallway where I see my friends from school. They start talking to me about how much food they have eaten. I just see P.K. standing there with all this food in his hand and I start laughing at how much of a pig he is. (He's a pig in real life too, just can't gain any weight for some reason). M.C. starts talking to me, "Hey did you hear about this kid who had to go to hospital?"
"No. What happened?"
"Well apparently, there was this kid who had to go to hospital because he ate too much and insisted his parents that he was fine and should eat more."
When I heard that I became a bit shocked and stopped eating.

Finally, I leave my friends and head out of the cave with the cheerios box. I walk out of the cave and see that something had happened outside but my dream ended before I could see what was actually going on.

Unfortunately for me, a combination of moving =/ and having the typing on my cell phone die has caused me to no the able to record my dreams as well. I tried having a pen and paper next to the bed, but in my sleepy haze between the hours of 2 am and 7am, my hand writing becomes completely unreadable. Below are some brief excerpts to dreams I CAN still remember. I wanted to give justice and remembrances to them since lately my dreams have been incredibly vivid, adventurous, and long. I am hoping that my potential new method of dream recording will work until I get a new phone.

Was inside of a large house at night with Allen. The lighting was dim and it was pitch black outside. Allen and I were somehow stuck inside of the house until morning. I had picked up the horrible talent of being able to see ghost. Unfortunately, the appeared to me in the way that they had died so they looked incredibly terrifying. I don’t want to go into specific details about how they individually died because its really messed up and I would prefer to one day forget this part. Allen and I were going from room to room trying to find a place to lay low for the night. Allen cant see the frightening ghost and so he wraps his arms around me and guides me through the house so that I can cover my eyes. We find this really large, yet cozy in a way bedroom. Its fashioned in the country cottage style with red and yellow accents. When we first walk in we have to hide under a coffee table, I am not sure why but some man we needed to hid from walked in and we waited for him to leave before crawling out from under it. We both sat on the bed feeling a strange since of safety. Then once again a ghost presents itself to me. I burrow my face into Allen’s chest and armpit to not have to look at it. He wraps his arms around me yet again and I explain the horror that in unfolding before me. Allen was strangely comforting throughout this entire dream.


I decided to do some charity work for an organization that dealt with finding cures for people suffering from a blinding eye condition called coloboma. My little brother in waking life suffers from this so I felt a great amount of compassion for the organization. Allen told me that he thought doing charity work was a stupid waste of time and then he sort of just walked off and out of the dream. I was now walking to wherever I was supposed to meet the other people in the organization. I appeared to be in some sort of school soccer field. There were people in white cotton tee shirts standing behind a chain fence. My ex Zac was there. I walked up to him and asked him what he was doing there and he said he was there to help too. I was really excited that I knew someone there so I had an instant friend. Then the dream sort of turned into an adventure. We were going through a sort of obstacle coarse together and although the obstacles had nothing to do with an actual charity work, it was still all in the name of finding a cure for coloboma. We were crawling under low ropes, climbing trees, hopping logs. At one point were were rowing through a rapid river. It was kind of hilarious looking back because even though we were doing incredibly strenuous activities, we managed to hold a light pleasant conversation throughout the entire dream, as if were were just sitting there talking to each other.

FRAGMENT: Cant remember much, just remember that I was having some underwater escapade dream that was very long and exciting. Usually I am unbelievably scared to go underwater so I must have been the furthest from lucid that I could possibly be. The only details that really stick were swimming past a sperm whale, seeing an underwater city deep below me (Atlantis?), and being able to breath, speak, and swim really well under water.

FRAGMENT: I was in some sort of jungle, thick and dense like the Amazon. I was with a bunch of people but I cant remember who. I was wearing one of those funny hats that people wear on African safaris. I think I had a machete that I kept holding straight out ahead of me. I was the leader of the group, thusly I was walking ahead of everyone else and shouting orders back top them. There were jaguars in the trees and large pythons slithering on the ground, yet they were no danger to me…. Sucks because I know that this was a really good long one with a lot of adventure. I wish I would have written it down. =’(

NOTE: Replaced the names of my siblings with just the first letter of their names/nicknames.

Jungle to Ice pit (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So this dream has many pieces that I recall, but they are scattered throughout. Meaning, I caught many pieces of the dream, but they do not exactly flow smoothly.

It was N, B, and I exploring in dad's dodge. N and I were in the bed, standing up, as B drove. Our current location was in what seemed like a more open jungle. There were areas with tall trees, and areas where the trees only reached up to around the top of the cab. The land was prety bumpy, and it was slow going, but the nice weather and warm temperature made up for the lack of progress.

We were looking for the tree, the huge tree that housed 1000's of sentient apes. We had been there before, and I could recall certain areas and shops located on various branches of the tree. In fact, the tree was so huge that I recalled I would often forget I was even on a tree. it had primitive elevators, stores, places to stay, and anything that was expected of a somewhat primitive civilization. Since there was absolutely no human settlements or towns, this was our only hope. However, we were having trouble finding it.

At one point, we catch a glimpse of it in the distance over the shorter trees, but the thick jungle blocked our passage and so we turn around to find another rout. B speeds up a bit, making the ride rather bumpy and is driving around trying to find which direction the tree was in, but we lost it a while ago and can no longer find it.

We recall that the apes view of humans has changed, and so we would be unwelcome and likely thrown out once we were spotted. With this in mind, we think of this ice cave underground that leads directly to the tree. If we could get inside without them noticing at first, then perhaps those who remembered us from our last visit could help us out.

At this point there is now snow on the ground, and N and I are the ones trying to enter the cave. We start scaling down this huge hole, about 100ft in diameter, walled by ice and snow shelves, descending 100's of more feet below. At the base is a tunnel walled with ice that goes underground right to the tree. N and I both land on this snow-ledge, probably around 30-40ft below the top. The edge starts to crack, and suddenly breaks as we both plummet downwards.

At this point, I know there is no way we will survive the fall, and it is going to be certain death. I decide I will simply enjoy the fall since it is the last thin I will experience. I can feel my speed increasing, the woosh of the air, and the pressure building up around my body. Even though I was plummeting to my death, it was a really cool feeling. I see the ground, hear a loud "thump" and everything goes gray.

I "wake up" and pop out of the snow. I am still at the bottom of the hole, and there is now a man there with me. This man apparently was supposed to be N, and in the dream it changed so we had been working together forever and the army sent us. Even so, the mission to find the apes was the same, and consisted of the same reasoning. The man informs me that we were preserved in the cold snow, because it froze us. He also tells me that we have been unconscious for close to 8,000 years. I am extremely startled at this news, and he also showed me this alarm clock-like device that went off, waking him up by mistake. Lucky break. I ask about the apes, and he explains that they populated so much, and refused to expand from the tree, so the tree eventually broke and tipped over killing every single one of them. As a result, apes didn't exist on the planet at all anymore.

At some point, I actually enter the cave, which turns out to be full of death traps and mechanical devices that try to prohibit progress. I don't remember much of this, so I will stop there.

I dreamed with Omnio. We were walking in the middle of a road at night in the woods.
Above us and projected on the ground was a yellow light that came from the street lamps.
We reached a place where there were large marble stairs. We climbed the stairs, and when we reach the end, it was day.
At the end of the stairs was a computer store. We entered and I asked for information about two ram chips for my computer. The woman said that she had to order the chips. Omnio gave me two ships of ram and said he wanted to buy new ones. I handed the ships he gave me to the lady of the shop, and she said, "That´s sooo old"

I dreamed I was in a farm, and on that farm i had a pig and a dog. The pig was huge, the dog was brown and white, it had no pedigree .
The pig seemed at times that he wanted to bite me and the dog, but never did.
The pig started chasing me and I started running, until we arrived at a clearing, with walls,and a loquat tree in the middle and some junk scattered.
My white car was standing there.
I went into the car, tried to close the door, and suddenly the pig, with the balance of the race, hit the door in the middle , and put a huge dent in it.
I took away the pig and managed to close the door ... the pig quit attacking me.
The pig and the dog started walking in circles around my car, peacefully.
I threw them pieces of bread.
They put their front paws resting on the hood of my car and pick up the pieces of bread with their muzzles.
Sometimes the pig tries to catch the dog´s piece of bread and the opposite happens too, but I “say to them” who should eat the bread that I’m throwing.
I talk to the dog and to the pig telepathically.

In my dream I was a small child again and I got a doll, which I named Lucy. At first, Lucy was a normal doll, just an inanimate object that I played with. But later on in my dream she started talking to me. She kept telling me that she was going to hurt my sisters so that they couldn't play with her. I told Lucy that she couldn't hurt my sisters or I would break her and bury her so she could never be played with again. She didn't like that. Later, my sister "fell" down some stairs and almost died. I knew it was Lucy who caused it so I broke off her arms and legs and buried her in my backyard. She found a way to put herself back together and dig her way out of the ground. She tied me up and took me to a lake where she tried to drown me. Right before I died in my dream, I woke up. This dream freaked me out really bad so I was really happy when it wasn't real.

I dreamed I was at work with T and we were preparing everything for the reception of a ship. Outside the installation, the ground was all mud.
The tanker trucks fired up the ramps, falling into the mud, rolling...but then landing up properly in the parking lot.
T and I suddenly decided to go, in the middle of the shift, to the beach (the beach resembled the one in my hometown).
On the beach we did some kite-surfing.
Suddenly we heard by radio communication that it was necessary to prepare the loading arm 21 for E. M.
I went looking and found the T near our things, already dressed.
We return to work before someone notice we were out.
It was night.
We found E. M. with a bowl, the bowl had potatoes and beans, he complained that the beans were hard.
I told him he could use our microwave, and he said to let it go.
He sat in the meeting room to eat.
We went to a kitchen that i didn´t recognized, it was me, E.M. and another person did not recognize.
EM regretted not having followed the recipe because the in the bowl there wasn´t bean leaves.

I dreamed I was in a place (which could very well be a cross between the Swiss Alps and Scandinavia).
I was with A. I was a few years older, with a beard covering my face, and a wool cap in my head.
Me and A were responsible for a kind of station that studied the ecological status of the planet.
Our house was round, white, and had four windows in front. Near the house was a huge deposit of seventeen feet. Near the deposit, there was a huge pipe that entered the soil. The portion of pipe that was out, continued throughout the landscape until out of sight ... all this were irrigation systems. At the bottom of the landscape there were mountains (four or five) covered with ice.

I dreamed i was in a giant spaceship (semi-organic, semi-material), with a crew of three people. We could see the Cosmos through the ship, the ship was some kind of dark-purple mesh/net.
We were messing with LCD transparent touch screens.
The ship,inside, was made of various tunnels that were all connected with a central control room - the nerve center of the ship.
The tunnels (all leading to this control room) where large and very long and had to be crossed with other ships, but smaller.
There was zero gravity throughout the entire ship, except in the control room.
There was something that went wrong, because as we were calibrating equipment and chemical levels of the ship, an alarm sounded and everyone had to leave fast.

I dreamed I was kind of a secret agent, but nothing like James Bond, more like Toorop (Babylon AD). I was walking in tunnels with a large bush knife and a machine gun, and I was going to dismantle a secret underground base that had an atomic missile. After passing through a tunnel filled with traps and guards I went into the silo where the missile was.
I climbed the stairs and ended up in a wide street (after leaving the railing)
Two men came running towards me with arms to keep me from fleeing.
I stabbed the first in the right side of the abdomen, he immediately died.
I continued to run, the second tried to shoot me, I was quicker and shot him with a machine gun burst. He fell to the ground, dead, I kept running.
A third man saw me and released a German shepherd who began running towards me. I ran faster until i reached a river.
I jumped into the water (jump and dive).
The dog swam behind me too, but I managed to get to the other side of the river.
My allies were waiting for me with tanks and troops. There is one person who helps me get out of the water, a brother in arms). The dog fled ... I managed to escape.
I looked to my reflection in a tank ... I have long hair, a brown trench coat and a black and white scarf around me. I have military boots.
The dream "tells me" that I am part of the French Resistance, and I am fighting against the Italians. The river that I crossed is the border between France and Italy.

I was at a doe (female version of a stag) party but the cake said one thing at first but then said something else. Then I was in a sleeping bag, and I had a weird pillow, loony tunes on one side, Disney Princesses on the other side. Then it switched to two Loony-Toon type of characters. A dog and I think a weird-looking mouse. The dog was put into a cage and the other animal, dug and somehow the dog's cage got filled with ants and pretty soon I sneezed (and lost my pants!!) and the cage blew over and the ants went everywhere including my underwear.

The second dream --It has Disney's Cinderella's family. They had a lot of animals..even more then in the movie. One Day Ella evsedropped on the step-family and Drizella got that feelings and opened up the bottom half of the door and all I could see was Ella's outfit. I guess Major, had foals in my dream and one of them became a race horse. They took a train and I guess the step-family said nasty stuff about Ella, since two little kids didn't want to give Ella any of their candy. Then the scene changed to me at a restaurant with a cereal box on my left and paper on my right and everything before then was a comic strip I was reading. I heard someone (a female) say "I need a pound of flesh from a young woman to stay young". Turns out it was Lady Treamine..and the ONLY young woman was me in the dream. But I used a revised line from Merchant of Venice "You can take a pond of flesh as long as you don't spill any blood". At that point a bunch of men were around my table..
and Lady Treamine went else where.

I dreamt that that I fell asleep in my bed straight into a lucid dream where I grew wings and flew through the ceiling. It was exhilarating and I flew higher and through more and more ceilings, one after another. Then I noticed the ceiling fans were below me and I was actually flying downwards (paradoxically it would seem).
Then I landed lying in front of St. Peter's gate. A large stone gate standing on top of a circular stone foundation, seemingly floating in space. The gate was unattached, merely a gate with the carving "St. Peter's" on it. I started getting scared and really wanted to ascend, away from here. I was lying in my bed again, "half-asleep" (still within a dream). I even kept having to adjust my sleeping mask on my eyes.
After wishing hard enough to ascend, everything became bathed in golden light, and I knew I had golden wings. I flew up once more only to start falling straight down, quickly. Staring straight up, I fell straight past the gate and the platform it was on so I could see how it was standing atop a giant tower or spire. I kept falling, fast, with occasional vibrations that I could feel in the "real" world (within a dream).
Finally I landed on my my back on my bed, but under my eye mask I could see the shadows of flames flickering in the corners of my room and my bed started getting hot. (I could never really see any flames) My legs and back grew warm. I could see the shadow of a figure walking bath and forth on one wall. And heard a voice talking less TO me, but more AT me. It was around this point I realized I was in Hell and shocked myself awake.


I actually only woke up with a very vague after sense of warmth on my back. And surprisingly the fear and surprise wasn't there, like how emotions follow me from other intense dreams. I think that everything took place in a dream within a dream really helped. That and the fact that I don't believe in a Heaven or Hell and am incredibly secure in that belief that it didn't bother me as much as it should in my logical waking world. Of course I'm shaken that I would have such a dream in the first place, but I still think it was neat. Also even though the dream FELT lucid it couldn't have been, I was merely dreaming of having a lucid dream where these things happened.
