    1. wow continued

      by , 08-27-2011 at 07:26 PM (redisreddish's mess of dreams is still messy)
      Okay, so I got a little caught up in watching movies Friday.

      Anyways, that monster from Relic was chasing me around, and I got into a car so I could escape faster. All the stuff inside was weird, though, and when I tried to drive, the car just lurched forward a few feet and sputtered to a stop. The monster caught up with me and opened its slimy, toothy, mouthy thing. But I convinced it to let me go say goodbye to people before it killed me and ate my hypothalamus (part of the brain, you kind of have to read the book/watch the movie). I ran away and tried to think of a plan. At this point I was lucid, and I remembered that in the movie the creature didn't kill a dog after realizing it didn't have the right type of brain. So I turned into a wolf, yay! I went back to the the monster, and it was angry upon seeing that it had been duped. I lived, it went to find someone else to eat. What a happy ending.

      As for the past few nights, my coughing has gotten worse and now I keep throwing up, so... I haven't been getting much sleep.

    2. driving a camaro

      by , 08-27-2011 at 06:53 PM
      I was in my basement
      my sister and one of my friends sisters was there with her
      they wanted to play play kinect
      so i set it up for them with alot of trouble
      they started to play
      for some reason the kinect sensor was facing them from the side
      they were playing this game where it was like duck hunt for the nes
      they would point an imginary gun at the dcuks flying by and shoot them down and it was pretty fun
      next thing i know the girls sister is in the basement as well (she is really hot)
      she wants to play teh dance game she keeps on saying dance dance revolution and i explain to her that the kinect version is just dance revolution
      i take the game out of its case wipe it against he sweat pants to clean it then start having a hell of a time putting it into the disc tray
      i end up sliding teh disc along the floor and she laughs
      next thing i know im walking towards my elementary school
      my brother is there with his friend and they are driving cars around the yard
      there overcast and nobody but us is there
      my friend leaves telling me he has something to go do quickly and i go to get into one of the cars to have some fun
      there is a hummer or jeep i cant remember which one as well as a camaro and i think a corvette
      my brother tells me he spent over 250k on the cars so be careful and dont tell his dad!
      i drive the jeep around for a bit buy its kinda slow and the terrain isnt really calling for it
      so i hop out and get into the camaro and man is it fun
      i start pulling of some ken block moves ripping through the grassy fields and drifting for 100 feet before peeling out of the tarmac where the kids wouyld play
      eventually after driving for probably 15 minutes i rev the engine and hit the bump at well over 200 km and fly through the air but at this point i see the car flyng through the air in a third person view.
      i clear the fence to the pool and hit the locker room flipping over one time than the car lands in the pool and starts sinking
      i get out really casually because i know for some reason that he has insurance that will buy him a new one
      my brother leaves his car as well and we start walking towards the playground
      all this time im worried my mom will see me if she drives by because im wearing a bright neon yellow sweater
      when we get to the playground we see the squirrel at the edge of the sand with a chest of some type
      my brother and i both smell some weed in there so we decide to scare of the squirrel and take it
      when we approach it though the stupid things crouches back like a tiger and then shows its "fangs" which looked more like human teethe
      it tried to bite us a few times and i eventually convinced him that this wasnt worth getting rabies for and he agreed

      second dream

      I cant remember exactly how this one started but it very fragmented and very weird

      I was back in sweden but everything looked extremeley weird and cartoonish
      i met with my uncle brother and my dad
      we were walking through the old part of stockholm
      i dont remember much but i do remember going to a bakery where the lineup was quite large
      my brother didnt wait but we told him that most times the line up would go too the street and this would be worth it
      i ordered some drink
      it was a hot chocolate with tons of candy covered rainbow coloured chocolate chips
      it was pretty delicious if i do remember
      after that we left and its a blur

      dream 3

      i was at my friend dannys house
      we were playing xbox in his basement or something
      some weird stuff started to happen with things appearing through portals in his backyard
      one thing appeared and we had to run over fences away from it

      dream 4

      i was in some kind of program where i had to go to inclass sessions
      i arrived sat down and got down to busisness
      something crazy was going on in the next room and we weere not aloud to go look
      i went to i opened the first door and went for the second when i was grabbed by a few people
      they pulled me out and started questioning me

      i woke up because i didnt want to deal with that
    3. Botanical Preserve (fragment)

      by , 08-27-2011 at 06:43 PM (Exploring the Unconscious - Bob's Dream Journal)
      Not much from last night.

      I one scene, I was visiting Terrence McKenna's ethnobotanical reserve in Hawaii. There were all sorts of crazy wild-looking plants. In either another dream or the same dream, I dreamed of eating a dish that had living crabs at the bottom of it. I was supposed to just eat the crabs, and I remember being nervous by the thought of one of the crabs pinching my tongue on the way down.

      I also dreamed about getting it on with a college friend.
    4. Inn I slottet fra drømmen

      by , 08-27-2011 at 06:35 PM
      "So ends the ride that lasted a lifetime..."

      One dream only, but it was long, and captivating. (this is the closest I've ever been to being lucid[might as well call it a lucid dream 'cause it doesn't get any more vivid than this], but that wasn't important to me, I felt like I've been here before, There's burning questions that I need to have answered; this dream feels incomplete)


      I had just reached the shores on what felt like a long journey across the sea, but alas, I was a foot on land and ready to begin my next journey searching for "it"; the black gate. The ground was nothing more that dried sand and gravel as I hear & feel the ocean shore brush up slowly against my feet. I began trekking forward slowly wandering into the deep forest that lay ahead awaiting to see what existed on the other side. I didn't know how long or how big this forest was, but I didn't come this far just to turn back. It was already night time, and the sky it self was pitch black; so dense, the stars themselves did not shine. It was days before I started to feel like I was going nowhere, time however had not changed at all, still the black sky, dead trees all around me, fog and cold air biting my skin with each step forward I take. But a dim light of hope shed itself on me when I noticed a small clearing a few miles ahead. This was enough motivation for me to keep pushing and find my way out of this barren wasteland.

      A few hours of slow painstaking navigation later, and I'm there. Finally, I've found it: What look like mortar & stone stretching over 100 ft tall and extending infinite miles in each direction, I had reached the black gate. I began noticing a low rumbling sound of thunder, but there were no clouds around for miles. Suddenly, I heard a very loud crackling sound followed by more deep rumbles (enough to shake the earth around me) "more lightning?" I thought, but no. It wasn't lightning at all, it was the gates themselves. They were opening....


      What stood beyond the other side of this monstrosity of a wall was just jaw dropping. What I saw simply can not be explained through the English language. More importantly now, my true quest began: the search for the castle. (I can't remember why, but there was something I wanted, something I needed from that place and It held all the answers). I knew this was going to be a long journey from the start, but I was almost there and the finish line was in sight. A few thousand miles felt like nothing to me now knowing where I was going to be. I took my first step forward through the gates while taking in another deep breathe of the musky air and watching up at the sky, Strangely enough I saw one star....the North star. It was like looking at a glimmer of hope that what I would find in this place would be what I am looking for. It was just like the rest of my dream, endless trudging through the land that never ended, but with every step I was THAT much closer....


      It had been weeks, almost months of traveling and then, it was there, I could see it through the mist. My skin began crawling with goosebumps, and my blood turning cold. I was there. It was only 500 miles away, but that was nothing to me. I was there. Finally, I had reached my destination; Standing before me was this glorious stone tower that stood ominously, peaking over the clouds with a bright force emanating through its walls. I took a deep breathe and stepped forward pushing both doors open only to be filled with the brightest most illuminating white light I could only imagine in my dreams. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. But things took a turn for the worst. Everything around me began fading, the light withered away along with the world, my time was up....

      "Between misty vales
      Between gloomy mountains
      Under gray clouds
      In the black night
      In black clothes
      An eternity of cold
      Over stone and wood
      In the shadows...
      Out from the mist
      Out from darkness
      Out from the big shadows of the mountain
      The castle of the dream...
      So ends the ride
      That lasted a lifetime
      For the master goes (in the castle of the dream)"

      lucid , memorable
    5. 8/27/11

      by , 08-27-2011 at 06:19 PM (Dreamscapes)
      was at a mini festival somewhere on a sunny day. I walked around for a while looking for acid and found a group of hippy like people. I asked a long haired guy if he had acid and he said yes. I had to run to the cash machine because they weren't going to stay long. I tried to cut the line but people wouldn't let me so I found a secret cash machine. I ran back and give him money and instantly took the pills. I could feel the effects almost immediately. Everything became brighter and slightly cartoony. My vision was more focused and sharp and I was very laughy. The hippies and I decided to go to my apartment. They were there while I walked around outside tripping for a while. I went back inside and the hippys were playing with staffs and lasers. Their favorite color was green and I really liked them because they had the same hobby's as I did. Leo got home and was a little jealous that I had the acid without him. He ended up watching some weird movie. I went to go play spongle in the living room but got distracted and ended up trying to go buy more acid. I was at the peak of my trip and the seller was peaking too. I decided to buy more later. The acid was in a pill type thing and they would crush it up and swallow it.

      Super long lucid where I was about to take acid again but instantly knew it was a dream. Its been a while since I have been this lucid and I smiled knowing exactly what I needed to do. I ran to the balcony and found G there with a little smile. I lifted my hands and smashed him into the concrete about 15 times. By the time I was done with him he was nothing but mush. I laughed, finally completing my ultimate task. I went back inside and told everyone of my victory. It was super funny to everyone. Now I did what I normally do. I went outside and destroyed stuff. It seemed like I did not have as much power as I normally do. I tried shooting energy balls several times with little success and no lasers would come out. I did succeed at making energy balls when I lifted my hands into the air. After a long time of this I realized I wouldn't be waking up anytime soon. I wanted to do more acid. I went back to the apartment and with leo took 1000 hits of acid. I did this on the balcony and came back in. Slowly everything started to texturize. Then I saw writings on the wall and things were morphing. Leo wanted to show me something cool. He went to the wall and created a giant portal. Inside the portal was a different scene going on. He went inside. I was a bit jealous so I created one and tried to go in. I grabbed on the walls. The portal felt like jelly under my hands and ripped from the wall. I fell and got annoyed, but tried again. I fell a couple more times until a different scene came on and I succeeded. Jermain from flight of the conchords was there and we talked for a while. I don't remember much after this but it included kara coming home in real life. This woke me up but was really a series of false awakenings.


      Was back at the apartment with the hippies, stephanie, kara, and leo. The hula from electric forest was there wearing pants and a white shirt. I was happy she was there. We would flirt a little on and off. Kara was also my mom (it was really weird. It was like I was dating my mom) Kara left to go shopping and I wanted to try and get with the hula. Stephanie wanted to try and get with me for some reason. I ended up falling asleep next to Stephanie and had a lucid of the previous dream. I woke up next to stephanie and instantly knew it was a dream. I wanted to do more portal stuff in the living room so I tried to open the portal. I failed after a couple tries so I went to do other stuff that I forget. At one point I go into the gameroom and see the hula sleeping with the hula guy and get disappointed. I wake up next to stephanie and know I have to go for the hula. I don't want to offend steph so I make an excuse to leave her. I go to the balcony and baron jumps off and runs away to chase a dog. I get pissed and run to the gameroom. I open a door thats new to the room and call baron until he comes back. The hula is there and I jump on her and start tickling her. I pick her up laughing and we go to leos room (now her room) and make out on the bed. Kara-mother gets home and I tell her we cant but I will break up with her to be with her. It then goes into a long story about how my mom and I had to pretend to be together to hide from a killer and I would always get with girls and we would have to run again to save her. We then go into some snowy dream together to find the killer. I am holding on to her with a rope so she doesn't get stuck in this world. For some reason I get teleported out and my mom looks scared.
    6. The temple Christmas?

      by , 08-27-2011 at 04:53 PM
      My mom was driving me to the temple and I realized I forgot my shoes. We pulled up and entered the building. Thee whee not very many chairs and we where greeted by a barefoot middle aged man, with gray hair and a big bald spot. The room had a stage in front and 2 doors to the left. My mother pushed me into the back room, where I found shoes to put on. The back room looked like the dining room in a house I used to live in. There was an ornate wooden polished table in font of the door and in the back a Christmas tree. To the tables right a bag of my Christmas gifts stood. I went through it and saw many video games, gifts from my friend Alex, who is only my friend in this dream. I then spot a large man shaped package with an Ipod sticking out connected to cords that led inside. I realized it was my friend Alex in there. I touched the package and Alex gave a threat to punch me in the head. I walked back to the front room, to discover that instead of the temple that I was at my now dead grandpa's house. The kitchen had a tiled white counter and sitting room near by, in which I saw grandpa. He looked skinny just like before he died. I told him that the man shaped package gave me a threat, if I tried to unwrap him. Grandpa then laughed and told me that several hours ago he did the same thing and that the package threatend to bite him. We both had a good laugh.

    7. 23rd Shared Dreaming Attempt ~ Nephanim

      Nephanim's Dreams

      Holy recall, Batman!

      Austin's Driving and Blizzard in Texas

      I wanted to help my mom at the grocery store while visiting my family in Texas, but since I didn’t have a car, there was no practical way for me to get there. To my surprise, Austin volunteered himself to drive. He had a tiny, red car of his own. Zooming out of the neighborhood at speeds ten miles per hour over the limit or more, he didn’t seem to care for slowing down in the roundabouts. He just swerved through them without even putting his foot on the brake. When we made it to the highway – still in one piece, amazingly – I discovered that he was the type of person to weave in and out of traffic to avoid following anyone. He cut a zigzag path through a number of trucks in a row. When we arrived at the grocery store, my mom was surprised to see us. I announced with pride that Austin had driven the whole way. Our mom was either impressed or horrified at the thought… I couldn’t decide which. Anyway, Austin drove back home alone, leaving me at the grocery store with my mom.

      On the way home, Austin received a call from our dad. He told Austin to park at the nearest gas station and refill his tank. It wasn’t clear why he needed to do this; there was plenty of gas in it already. Regardless, Austin did as instructed. While he was refilling it, a powerful snowstorm blew in. Austin was separated from his car and couldn’t see well enough to get back to it. He wandered in the poor visibility of the storm until he found the glass windows of a car dealership. He stumbled inside. For the duration of the storm, it was being used as a homeless shelter. All of the cars had been moved somewhere else. Austin tried to contact our dad, but the cell phone networks were overloaded.

      It was the worst blizzard Texas had ever seen. When it blew over, Austin headed right back to the car to pay for his gasoline. He hadn’t wandered far; the gas station was just a few minutes away from the car dealership. A police officer was parked right in front of his car. When he came close, Austin saw the officer standing beside the open fuel cap with a notepad. He was scrawling down notes and stuffing dollar bills into the fuel tank to plug it up.

      “Hold on, I was just going to pay for that!” Austin shouted. The officer turned his head.

      “Good,” he said. “How much is it?” Austin hurried over to the pump and checked the price on the display.

      “$78…” he read in amazement. Considering how little gasoline he bought, that sounded a bit ridiculous. Observing this, I decided it was just because he left the pump in his tank. Austin paid for it with his credit card, and the police officer left when he displayed the receipt. He immediately called our dad to complain. Why had he asked Austin to do this? There must have been advance warning of the storm if the car dealership was cleared out for the homeless. It was as though he wanted Austin to freeze to death!

      Ace is a Kasa

      I was watching a spin-off of One Piece in which all of the characters were birds. For example, Ace was a kasa (Ragnarok Online). He had to fight a giant black bird for the water he needed to survive a harsh drought. The black bird was many times his size, but Ace had the benefit of fire. He shot blasts of flame at the bird. Despite its size, it was too fast for any of the attacks to connect. During the fight, a bunch of hawks rallied on Ace’s side. They wanted to rebel against the black bird’s tyranny. Autumn seemed to be worried about what would happen to Ace because of the main storyline, but I assured her he would be fine. This was another universe in which Ace was a flaming bird. What could go wrong?

      A Collared Shirt, Pineapple Pizza, and Water

      I went out to eat with my dad, Chelsea, and Austin. We all stood in the waiting area while we decided what we wanted to eat. I recalled that I ordered a beef burrito the last time we were here, so I wanted to try something different. I looked over the menu several times and couldn’t make a decision. I decided I wasn’t really that hungry… Instead of food, I wanted to get a collared shirt on display and a bottle of water. Austin asked my dad if he could get something, and my dad insisted that he would have to pay for it. This sparked a furious argument; Austin only had ten dollars, so he was one dollar short. He still had more money than me. As I approached the counter to order my shirt and drink, I noticed some pizza on display in the kitchen. One pizza used pineapple as toppings. I added two slices of pineapple pizza to my order. For some reason, I started eating something just as I began to order. This made communicating with the woman at the register quite difficult…

      She quickly retrieved my food as Chelsea hopped around next to me. The pizza actually came in four slices, but three of them were tiny. I supposed someone messed up the proportions while cutting the slices. When she fetched the water bottle from a refrigerator behind the counter, she twisted off the cap and took a long chug. Only half of the water remained when she set it down in front of me. She gave me a strangely seductive smile.

      “Sorry about that,” she said in a sweet voice, wiping the water from the corner of her lips. The apology meant nothing to me.

      “If you’re sorry, why don’t you get me a full one? You can do whatever you want with this one, but now that you’ve put your mouth on it, it’s yours.” I paid the full price for my water. Why would I accept a bottle that was only half full?

      The Luffy Effect

      I was reading a research report posted on Dreamviews. The research revolved around a psychological phenomenon called the “Luffy Effect.” As the report described, this was a scenario in which one individual gradually gave into the advances of another. The author traced this back to the sculpting of a statue in Ancient Rome. He noted that in 2030, this statue would be accepted into a local museum – at which time the museum would also become a victim of the Luffy Effect. He suggested that this would mark the dawn of a new era of complacency. I didn’t understand what all this had to do with Luffy, though.

      Apparently, the author’s evidence for the theory revolved around the assumption that our culture was the first to record dreams. Shortly after he posted it, Nomad replied to contradict the evidence. Plenty of ancient cultures discussed their dreams as part of tradition. Defeated, the researcher decided there was no basis for his claims.

      Spider to Hermit Crab

      I was in a small room inside a much larger building with Autumn. We found a spider trapped under a pebble, and Autumn saved it. The spider announced telepathically that we were now its best friends. Pleased by this, Autumn decided to prod the spider with her finger. I urged her not to – oddly enough, I was concerned that we didn’t know what its “programming” was. It seemed reasonable that the spider’s claim of friendship was really just a ploy. The moment a chance to bite Autumn opened up, it would seize the opportunity.

      Then again, when she poked it, the spider turned into a hermit crab and hid in its shell. It seemed far more harmless than I originally expected.

      Taking Symphony to Chichen-Itza

      I was riding on a bus back to my campus. I recalled going to an 11:25 AM class earlier that day, but when I really thought about it, I felt like I should’ve had my 10 AM class instead. I checked the time. It was nearly 1 PM! I groaned at the thought of missing a class in the first week. I turned to Kunle who sat beside me and began explaining the situation. He interrupted me for an “urgent” announcement.

      “Listen, when we get back to our room, I really need to use the bathroom,” he said.

      “Okay… So?”

      “So we don’t have any toilet paper. I would ask Sun, but he’s like that, you know?” Who? I puzzled at him. “Maybe we could stop at Target or something…”

      “I’d love to tell you I can help, but now’s not the time.” Kunle nodded, smiling uneasily. I slumped back in my seat. “Wait… What day is today? Isn’t it Saturday? I don’t have class on Saturday!” I exclaimed. I checked my hand. There was nothing weird about it, but why else would I be going to school on a Saturday? I was obviously dreaming. I could feel the difference in the way my mind interfaced with the world around me. I turned to Kunle and announced that we were in a dream.

      “Of course we are,” he laughed, agreeing with me. “Didn’t you know?”

      “Jerk,” I teased. I punched him in the face. I gave him a noogie, too. “I love how rough your hair is. It makes this dream noogie even better.” I squeezed past him and turned to the guy sitting in the seat in front of ours. It was one of the guys from the room connected to mine. I punched him a few times for good measure. The feeling of his jaw colliding with my knuckles reinforced the bus environment around me. I decided not to torment the poor dream character too much… Fortunately, when I smiled at him and Kunle, they both smiled back as though I’d never hit them. “I’m leaving now. Take care!’

      As they bid me farewell, I opened the door and jumped out of the bus. I let myself tumble end over end in the grass, changing the dreamscape. I remembered my goal to reach Chichen-Itza tonight. When my imagery returned, I was in a long, rainbow-colored tube. I could see individual particles whizzing by in both directions. Just by willing it, I would be whisked either way. I willed myself forward in the rainbow tube. In the distance, I could see something blue…

      “Symphony!” I called. She rapidly approached after that, and I had an instantaneous view of her dazzlingly detailed appearance before she slammed into me. Her short, blue hair caught in the illogical wind of the tube-shaped space. Her bells gave a sharp jingle as we glided backward together. “I knew I would find you along the way. We’re supposed to go together, right?” She replied… but in Japanese.

      “Okay, seriously,” I demanded. “What’s with all the Japanese lately?!” She said one more thing in Japanese – as if to question my claim that she was speaking in another language – but then she processed the mistake and corrected it.

      “My apologies,” the robot said, her face an inch from my own. She eased backward to restore my personal space, much to my gratitude. She was wearing her black uniform again. The bow above her chest was neatly tied, and the white stripes on her sleeves, her torso, and her skirt were as pristine as though it had never been worn. “Which way is Chichen-Itza?” Symphony asked, glancing back and forth. I was almost too excited to see her again to respond.

      “It doesn’t matter,” I finally explained. “Both ways will take us there. This space exists to bring us to Chichen-Itza.”

      “Acknowledged,” she said, but I was already whizzing by her. I grabbed Symphony’s hand and accelerated rapidly down the rainbow tube. The colors began to blur together into a blazing white. We went faster and faster… Then, in an instant, we were flooded in light as we passed through the portal at the end of the tube. For a few moments, I found myself in darkness. I took some time to confirm that I was still asleep. I had no imagery – not even the view of the back of my eyelids. Since it should have been morning, I reasoned that I would be processing some kind of light if I was awake. I was definitely still dreaming.

      My patience paid off. Before long, Symphony and I spilled out of our portal. We tumbled about thirty feet and landed gracelessly on top of Chichen-Itza. I hit the stone structure pretty hard. Symphony didn’t seem to notice her impact. When I sat up, Nomad and another person (whose gender seemed to change from male to female every few seconds) were standing over us like sentinels. They stared off into the distance as though they hadn’t noticed our arrival.


      Table for One and a Half

      There’s no way for me to tell whether this dream took place before or after I went back to sleep. I’ll just assume it took place after visiting Chichen-Itza.

      I walked into a restaurant by myself. The tables were set up for couples, but I was there by myself. I glanced at some of the curtains drawn around tables. It would’ve been a really romantic place to take Autumn, I thought… What a shame that I was alone. The restaurant was built in a plus shape with a central ballroom and four adjacent dining areas. There were a few people waltzing around on the dance floor. A brown-haired woman in a black uniform approached me with a menu.

      “Is there anyone else with you this evening?” she asked. I smiled wearily.

      “No, just me,” I said, reliving the chain of associated thoughts that brought on. She did her best to hide her pity, but I could steal read it in her eyes as though it had been printed for all to see. The waitress led me to a candlelit table and set the menu down in front of me.

      “Just call me when you’re ready to order,” she said with a warm smile. I gave a nod in return. I glossed over the menu, but nothing really seemed appetizing. I couldn’t decide why I had even come here. It certainly wasn’t to eat. The waitress came back around shortly after and drew the curtain around my table closed. She slipped through and took a seat opposite me. I hadn’t noticed until now, but she had changed into a beautiful white dress with bronze beads dangling from her shoulders. She put her hands in her lap. “They gave me the rest of the evening off work. Do you mind if I sit here?”

      “Not at all,” I assured her. Her face looked oddly familiar, but I didn’t recognize it.

      Efficiency in a Dream within a Dream

      I was in the living room with Autumn, presumably well into the day. I explained how I had a lucid dream involving Chichen-Itza. I had to explain that it was an objective for the IOSDP and where it was located. She acted like she had never heard of it before. Anyway, I went into detail about how Symphony came to me in the rainbow tube. I also recounted a number of dreams that I can only vaguely recall now. I don’t think I actually had most of them last night; rather, I just thought I did.

      One involved sitting at a fancy restaurant alone. That was an obvious reference to the dream I had immediately before this one. There was another that seemed to involve skiing… Then another in which I drowned a child in a pool of water. Eric came into the room and set up some kind of hose system by drawing it on the wall. The hose came to life, and when he turned the faucet, water started spraying out of the wall. I grabbed the hose and pointed it at him. He just drank the water in gulps. I tried to get Eric to stop so we wouldn’t have water flying all over the living room, but every time I erased his drawings on the wall, he just made new ones. I finally drew a patch over his mouth to prevent him from drinking the water. He gave up and left the room.

      Autumn continued watching TV while I lay at her feet with a blanket. I thought back to my dreams and found myself gradually dozing off. A dream within a dream began. Portions omitted. I woke up once, thought about writing down that dream, and then really awakened.

      Razor Blades, a Pistol, and Fuzzy Memories

      I was in prison for who-knows-what. My gun had been taken from me along with all of my belongings. As I lay on the bottom of the bunk bed the prison facility provided us with, my thoughts were mainly focused on how I couldn’t reach out to Symphony. I couldn’t remember what had just happened a short time ago, but it had been important for me to recreate the experience. I complained to the inmate on the upper bunk about my inability to direct my dreams.

      “Shut up already,” he grumbled back. I supposed I had bothered him enough about this. As the prison warden walked by my cell, I saw myself from her perspective. I had short, black hair and golden eyes.

      “Wait!” I demanded, leaping out of bed. My inmate looked over the edge at me with disgust. The warden stopped in her tracks and turned to face me.

      “What is it, scoundrel?” she hissed. The two armed guards behind her pointed their weapons at me. I thought it was pretty silly since I was behind bars. I had a flash of another environment. Lauren and another girl were watching TV.

      “It’s Takizawa!” Lauren announced. I realized I looked a lot like the male lead of Eden of the East. The imagery changed back to the prison, but I returned to my own body.

      “Can I have my gun back?” I asked.

      “Absolutely not,” one of the guards with the warden answered.

      “Come on, just for a second. There’s this thing you put on me that really hurts.” I started unzipping my pants, and the warden glared at me. She pulled a pistol out of her pocket and tossed it through the bars. I caught it in one hand. I took my pants off and looked around for a moment. “What about my bag?”

      “What about it?” the warden asked, tapping her foot.

      “I need that, too.” She rolled her eyes.

      “Fetch his bag, please…” she continued. The guards seemed hesitant, but one eventually left to retrieve it. While he did that, I studied the frustrated looks my cellmate was giving me. He didn’t enjoy all the commotion. The door to our cell opened, and the guard threw my bag at me. I caught it in my arms and went into one of the pouches to get my razor. I took it apart inside the bag and grabbed a few of the components. When I was satisfied that I had everything, I put the razor back together. I didn’t realize the warden was standing over me.

      “What are you doing?!” she shouted. I thought I had been caught at first. “That’s an expensive razor! Now it’s ruined!” She took it out of the bag and pointed at one of the blades sticking out at an awkward angle. “Are you going to shave with this? Of course not, you’ll cut yourself. I told you not to put it in your bag like that.” I had no idea what she was talking about. Anyway, I had already checked that the gun was loaded, so I stood and pointed it at the warden’s head. The guards were outside the cell – too far away to do much except hold their guns at me.

      “Shoot me if you want, but I’ll take her with me.”

      Motorola Commercial - Man on the Run

      Ben sent us an email about his plans for making a commercial for Motorola. As soon as I heard the idea, I began dreaming of an overweight black man running across the highway in front of my old high school while inspirational music played. His wife stood in the schoolyard with her hands over her mouth, terrified that her husband was going to be killed. The cars whizzed past him, narrowly missing him. He kept struggling to get over a green fence separating the feeder road from the highway itself – mainly because I was in charge of his footwork. When he got onto the highway, he couldn’t get past a motorcycle in time and decided to try outrunning it instead. It didn’t work. He had to jump over the motorcycle to prevent being mowed down. I had my doubts about a man running fast enough to keep up with any vehicle on the highway, but it seemed to be working, so I didn’t think about it for long. The same thing happened with a red pinto.

      After all of this, I found myself back in bed and assumed I had awakened. Autumn commented that it would make a great commercial. She felt that Ben and I should really go into advertising. At the time, it really seemed like a good idea, but I’m not sure what message the commercial conveyed about Motorola products…

      Like Star Fox and Carnival Corpse

      I was playing a game similar to Star Fox in Autumn’s bedroom. The desk had been moved to the south wall of the room. My parents were sitting together at the dining room table. At first, I had my headphones on so they wouldn’t hear the game, but my dad made me take them off because I couldn’t hear him talking to me. I played through sixteen levels. I didn’t realize I was on the last level until Autumn told me I was close to the end. I paused the game in the middle of it because my mom was disturbed by the violence in the game and the offensive script. The male pilots were talking about prostitutes and all the things they’d do with their women when they got back home. I offered to put my headphones back on, but I was certain my dad wouldn’t allow it since he made me take them off. Surprisingly, he decided that was fine.

      My mom expressed her concerns that I had something school-related to attend today since it was Saturday. I assured her that wasn’t a problem; I even had a lucid dream the previous night about it. I forgot to finish the last level before I turned the game off and switched to the next one. Autumn didn’t say anything until I mentioned it. She said she was going to ask to play after me. Honestly, I didn’t perceive much of the game’s storyline. I missed the opening cutscene, and the rest was just chatter between the pilots. I had no idea what was going on. That made it much less painful to realize I’d fallen a few minutes short of completing the game.

      The second game was based on Deadman Wonderland’s Carnival Corpse. It was an MMORPG with infinite character advancement. I accidentally made a male character when I really meant to recreate Symphony… I kept looking for a way to redo the character, but I supposed I would have to reset the game and make a new account. The world rankings were posted on a wall in the lobby. They didn’t say anything about the characters’ levels or stats, just the player name and rank. I found them difficult to read until I stood really close. The letters were out of focus.

      While looking through all the information provided by NPCs in the lobby, I discovered that advancement matches were a two-versus-two affair. I would need a second character if I wanted to be competent at all. A group of two overheard me talking with the NPC about this and snickered. They said they would love to take me by myself. I wasn’t at all tempted. In a game like this, that would be suicide. I found an option to go to a waiting area for people who wanted to pair up on a team. There were some seventeenth-century English women in one room, Egyptian belly dancers in another, and a bunch of rooms with locks on them. I supposed I would have to level up to access those. At any rate, I decided to wait and come back to the game sometime later.

    8. 23rd Shared Dreaming Attempt - The Cusp's Dream

      by , 08-27-2011 at 04:27 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      -For most of the night I'm running the Stone Abyss, a dungeon in a game I'm playing. Killing golems and collecting loot.

      -Eventually, the dungeon scenario gives way to a hotel room setting. My baby niece is there, but she has 2 large spiders on her. I release a spider of my own to go fight the other 2 spiders. Then we start cleaning up all the old kid's toys. I want to throw them out, but my mother insists we hang on to most of the junk. I have to admit, some of the stuff she makes me keep would be pretty cool if I was a kid.

      Kumara's Dream

      Dream 1 – fragment – at at wedding with Charlie, seemed to have a positive message.



      Dream 2 – I am driving...maybe I am following Toni and realize that's the wrong way and turn around onto a side street. I pull over, I need to get a grip and refocus and regain proper control. the brakes are soft. I am dreamy, drifty, I can feel my body wanting to pull awake.

      I might be driving on the right side of the car – the left driver's side door pops open. While I am clearing out a bunch of sarongs and stuff that wrapped around my legs and the brake/gas pedals and trying to gain some mental clarity, I notice an older gentleman approaching.
      It's the guy from the neighborhood watch – he's checking on me. I appreciate his care! I explain to him how I was driving and all of that stuff just appeared around my feet and had stopped to get my bearings, clear the stuff out and regain my composure and how the door popped open. He's kind and smiles and says something like how he was just making sure I got back on the road okay. I'm grateful and assure him I'm okay.

      I clear out the stuff, and get back on the road. Then it's fuzzy, like...I drove through an impossible way, and then maybe u-turned again...something was off.
      I may vaguely remember getting out of the car and walking into a building.

      A black man approaches me. I am looking around, there's a black leather couch and a green plant, and something is incongruent. I tell him I may be dreaming...I walk with him, and continue to survey the surroundings. I tried a little hop to see if I could fly. Something clicks and I say, HEYYYY! I am dreaming! I leap through the ceiling and say, Hey, dream, I wanna be at Chichen Itza!

      I sort of turn in the air on my back and freefall while imagining details of the pyramid...

      Then I am in a room that is NOT Chichen Itza.
      There is ANOTHER man approaching me – He wants sex. Oh, HEY, FINALLY ! Dream sex!! The guy is kind of a midget, his legs are shorter than I expect but I don't care, he's willing and interested...
      He lies back and spreads his legs and I move forward, then what looks like a small boy moves toward me on my left, he's shadowy
      Spoiler for Pedo sex and masturbation details:


      I can feel myself pulling out of the dream, and I am like NO EFFING WAY, and I use all of my will to stay in the dream, and I orgasm as I wake up.

      non-dream / dream / lucid

      Eu estava na saída do meu curso noturno no colégio Energia; porém, estava de dia. Espontaneamente, fiz o RC de trancar o nariz e funcionou. Fiquei lúcido. Encarei a mulher que fica na recepção e percebi que o sonho estava muito realista. Saí da recepção e fui para frente do colégio. Olhei para uns garotos que estavam ali me encarando e então pensei em gritar "mais lucidez" para tornar tudo mais vívido. Antes, porém, fiz o RC de novo para garantir que era um sonho e não fazer papel de idiota. Funcionou novamente, então gritei, mas nada demais aconteceu. Olhei para a esquerda e vi uma mulher vindo na direção da entrada do colégio. O sonho começou a apagar, então eu me segurei na parede na tentativa de me prender no sonho. A parede era bege e tinha várias fissuras (como se fosse um enfeite). A textura da parede era semelhante a uma parede dessa da vida real. Consegui estabilizar um pouco, então falei para a mulher me ajudar a continuar no sonho, mas logo em seguida eu acordei.

      Whiterains dream

      pretty interesting long dream last night that brought together quite a few different locations into the same dream. the whole feel of it was like being at some kind of summer camp and it contained parts of my local park, lake and river, and also parts of my old schools and university.

      i remember people swimming and diving in the river which was alot deeper than normal. there was also this central pool which was similar to the one i have in about 90% of dreams these days. sometimes it seeme to be a portal, others it just seems like a central focus for the dream and often dreams will end with me heading there for a swim.

      the earliest school part i remember is just being in some kind of concert. for some reason i was in charge of the organ although i had no clue what to do. it seemed no one else knew what they were doing either which made it easy to just fuck it off and say something like i dont know what you expected me to do anyway?

      after this there was some kind of demonstration/exhibition being put on outside my old village hall/football club. some how i got in trouble for having weed or something and kind of got semi arrested. i sort of talked my way out of it somehow but still remained kind of a fugitive for the rest of the dream.

      there were a couple of moments of lucidity but the dream plot was so strong that for the most part i just went along with it. i remember being in a pub and there were lads round who seemed to think i owed them something as if they had helped me to escape the police or something. there was a vague threat of chopping fingers off but i never felt at risk at all in any part of the dream.

      this old school assistant mrs carter was there and she was kind of trying to act like she had not grassed on my grass. also there were some football commentators who were like 'well its only a bit of weed i dont really se the big deal'. it was nice to have a dream where basically most people are on your side against the police for once.

      the rest of the dream was mostly about going round the school/uni/camp thing looking for girls. i remember going into this toilet cubicle with 2 girls but instantly getting caught because the cubicles were tiny. one of the last things i remember was being back near these same cubicles later and about to go off with one girl when another one says 'why dont you kiss me first' so i do and i think this is where i wake up.

      just remembered that i was visualising previous local dream locations before going to sleep so dream incubation has really worked this time. was really great to go between so many variations of real places

      J 1

      I just remember being in some strange house with a lot of people. We were doing things like watching movies and chatting. I remember at one point someone was telling me something like, "You just took off to do whatever and now J is worried about you and slightly mad that you aren't in touch with her."

      then i waited in a room for her or something and then she came in through the door and was talking to someone, she didn't seem to notice me at first and then I woke.

      J 2


      I dreamed I received a text from her. It was saying something like she was sorry we weren't able to (something implying love," but she was so busy and distracted with things... stuff that kept getting in her way.

      Tanner's house


      i just remember going over to a guy from work's house. It was a nice typical residential place. But then he wanted me to go to his secret lab or something. There was a picture or a frame of some sort on his wall that he moved and behind it was another room. I was thinking about how I was supposed to get through it when I woke up.

    14. the quest for black jeans; future baby's droopy diapers

      by , 08-27-2011 at 01:55 PM
      Good morning, everybody.

      Dream #1

      I was probably at "my family's house." My brother and mother were around. I don't know about other people. My brother was having me act out something, and he was possibly also video taping it. It may have been a movie or a music video.

      We were in a number of different bedrooms. My view was always kind of tight and low, as if I were the height of a child, with not much attentiveness to my environment. The rooms always seemed kind of small and barren, with white walls and slightly harsh incandescent light.

      In a couple of instances, my brother seemed to tower above me. But our relationship was still of me as the big brother to him as the little brother. He seemed to want to impress me with whatever his video project was. I seemed to think the project was cool, and I was happy to be a part of it.

      At some point my brother needed me to act like a "cool person." So I needed to wear black jeans. (WTF?) I may also have needed to wear a belt with square steel studs on it. My brother and I went searching through closets for the perfect black jeans. My mother was in one of the rooms where my brother and I were going through the closet.

      At another point, we were outside the house. It was night. We may have been far from the house, possibly even in a parking lot. My brother knelt (below me now) at something like a toy chest full of jeans. There seemed to be plenty of black jeans. But none of them were right for some reason.

      At another point we were in the house again, looking through a closet full of blue jeans. (I'm pretty sure that at this point my brother was much taller than I again, like I was a little kid.) My brother thought that, if all else failed, we could at least use the blue jeans. But they were all too big for me. So they were no good, too.

      By this point I may have been walking around in no pants, just walking around in my underwear from place to place, looking for black jeans.

      Dream #2

      I was outside on a pleasant, sunny day. My view fluctuated from the left to the front. I seemed to be in the wilderness, in some open area with bare soil. It may have been on a piece of land for a cabin, or something like that. In both of my views I saw piles of stuff, like piles of discarded household items and furnishings.

      I also, somehow, seemed to be reading a message from another website I participate on. My friend, MY, was telling another person, or a group of people, that she didn't judge some boy on the site for something or other.

      MY then said, "----- (a man) and ----- (a woman) and I are going to have a baby. I'm pregnant with the baby. And when he walks around the yard, and his pants and diaper drop off, and I see his little bottom, I don't judge him. I think it's cute."

      As I looked in front of me, there seemed to be a beam, like an upright beam of wood for the frame of a house. There also may have been other rubble, mostly wood, around the beam. Just beyond the beam there may have been a pile of household goods of some kind or another.

      Harvard Pretending (FRAG)

      I was walking around harvard pretending to all of the faculty that I went there. This made it super easy to make conversation with the students there. It was with a group of boys that something really cool happened but I don't remember what it was.
