    1. Catastrophic dream space? | Sunday 31st July 2011

      by , 07-31-2011 at 02:56 PM (Beyond the Horizon)

      I am with a bunch of random people in an airfield. There is some sort of small, insignificant explosion happening about 50 metres away.
      It doesn't seem dangerous, and is making some cool patterns in the air. I am recording it with my camera. We are driving in a tour bus, that has no roof or sides. Similar to a luggage carrier.
      Then, while looking at the screen of the camera, one of the patterns travels close to us.

      Everyone just chuckles. Then one flies and hits one of the passengers. We all scream, even though she is okay.
      We speed off. The area is really flat.
      At one point I am off the bus, and it continues to travel with everyone else to escape the explosion, even though it's stopped.
      I am with two familiar dream characters. Their house was in a previous nuclear disaster dream I've had.

      This current dream is happening sometime after that dream, so they have rebuilt and are happily doing things around the house.
      The woman shows me something that the guy had made around the back of the house.
      There were 5 dummies, that looked very lifelike, lined up on a little ridge of grass. The woman pressed a button and there were explosions underneath the dummies. They were intact.

      Later I am inside the house, and I am at a bedside. On the bed is my grandma I didn't know it then, but I was to visit my grandma while she was in hospital for the first time, today.
      Next to the bed there is a switch that rotates. I twisted it, and the colour balance of the room changed. The switch had a scale of warm orange to cool teal. That must be the cinematographic part of me
      Then I am outside with the two people again, driving along the straight road near the house. On one side of the horizon there is a massive fog cloud. Something to do with the airfield explosion earlier.
      I think it caused some catastrophe, like what normally happens at this dream place. I wasn't too worried about them this time.

      Did I just discover the place where my subconscious tries to deal with catastrophes in my life?

      The other end of the horizon had a massive storm system that was going to have tornadoes. As if this was Tornado Alley in America.
      We were debating which way we should take our chances with. We decided for the new fog-related disaster. I've been through the tornado storm before. And it's still there.

      We go over a small hill and there is a really long highway bridge over an expanse of water. The fog shrouds the other end of the highway.
      I am driving. We head onto the bridge. There are lots of obstacles on the bridge, including a small, yellow oncoming car that stopped.
      I can't remember what happened immediately after that, but I woke up not long after.

      After reading this, I can relate half the elements in the dream to things that are happening in real life, and the other half to things that happened today, after the dream.

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Slept at my friends place last night again. Consumed some alcohol during the night and didn't sleep very well on his couch. Couldn't be bothered to recall more than a fragment and a lucid fragment.

      03.30: Sleep

      11.00: Fragments
      *I'm with my little brother Morgan. I'm giving him a lift on a bike down the highway. We're naked for some reason. We get off the road and walk through some grass. A bug starts biting my hand. I can't get it off me, it looks like a spider/locust of some sort.

      *I'm with a bunch of people when I realise I'm dreaming. The dream starts to fade. "Everyone! Look at your hands!" I yell and look at my hands to stabilize. Everything gets brighter and I can see a face. Soon after I black out.

      11.00: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 8 hours

      Supplements: Lots of alcohol


      That's it!

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    3. Warehouses | Saturday 30th July 2011

      by , 07-31-2011 at 02:29 PM (Beyond the Horizon)
      First lengthy dream in a while

      In a small bus being driven through some hills covered in bush. At the carpark, there are lots of people, including a family from church (Yap).
      There is a bunch of kids all doing a competition, they all put their hands in to the centre, like sport teams do before a game, and cheered.
      I joined the game too. Still in the carpark surrounded by bush.

      I won. The prize is an iPod case. Someone next to me shows me their iPod, and I scroll through some apps. There was a contact list and one of them was "limbocity".
      I was amazed that he had my DreamViews name in his contacts, and I said "Are you from dreamviews?" He just nodded.

      Next I was being driven through a dark blue tunnel, and I was looking at my iPod, which was now an iPhone. I could hear people singing a song about the iPhone 4's features.
      I was obviously very excited that I had an iPhone in my hands.

      Then it was my house, but it was serving as a hideout for the person from DreamViews, and two others, also from DreamViews.
      I tried to ask the guy who he was, and he didn't say anything. He was wearing my school's uniform, so I said "You go to my school?!"
      He didn't say or do anything.
      I had his iPod again and it said @slash112. The other two said it was really slash. I think one of the other two was SilverDreams.
      They are telling me that we are all being hunted for some reason.

      Next we are at a giant warehouse in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by sandy hills. It's like I'm being told a story by one of the DreamViews members.
      One little kid there has a super power: being able to run really fast. He is being chased by bad people around this warehouse. Then I become this little person.
      I'm running around really fast, before jumping into the water that leads out of the warehouse.
      There is a gate before the outside world, being controlled by some random in a security booth.
      "Open the door please!" the people were getting closer. He opens the gate, which has massive spikes on them. They shut too quickly for me to get through.

      He won't open them for longer, so I somehow "make" him, like controlling him. So I escape.

      Next scene, I was standing on the roof of another warehouse in the same sort of orange environment. There were three super-mutants, one of which was called the Silver Surfer.
      Someone said "We already have a Silver Surfer, why is there another one?"
      The so-called Silver Surfer was more like an ice thing, and can freeze stuff.
      He started shedding his ice scales, and some random floating ball with tentacles consumed the ice thing's intestines.

      Next scene was some small Middle-Eastern Town, high up in the mountains so there is snow everywhere. I was with my parents like on a holiday. It was night. The moon was bright.
      I tried to buy something with Australian money, but they said, in fluent English, that I can't use that. "There is an ATM near the international banking shop around the other side of town."
      The town was elevated, so you can fall off the edges. I tried to go around the other side, but the area got darker, and more isolated.
      There were no people at this part of town, it looked like an abandoned carnival.
      Pretty creepy. I could still hear the busy marketplace I was just at.

      I went further along, and there were small abandoned houses. I just decided to go back to the marketplace, and my parents.

      I woke up.

      Then tried to sleep again.


      I was back in the marketplace, but in a 2-storey building. Sunrise in the frosty town. Sitting at a window, looking out over where my parents were standing at ground level.
      I was half-asleep, thinking how much I wanted to meet someone in the dream, and I was calling out to my friend LostInLA to come sit here with me, but I was woken again.

      Very long, and convoluted dream.

      Hey, Hey, Cruising with iJ! (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I was on a cruise, but I don't remember a lot about the beginning of the dream, but I do remember somehow meeting iJustine from Youtube. We talked for a bit, and then I went into her cabin, although she wasn't in there. I looked around, and then I heard a knock on the door. I looked out of the peephole, and a kid that I hate, Steve, was there. He looked really angry, so I didn't open the door. Someone knocked on the door again, and this time it was a really angry girl, but she was with iJustine. The girl left, so I opened the door. iJustine said she told people that I thought I was better then them, but she only did this on her floor, which was the 9th floor. I told her she had to help me get down to my cabin now.

      We went to look for the stairs, but we couldn't find them, so I think we either teleported or took the elevator. We got to my hallway, and there were notes on the doors. There was one on the door next to mine, but I forgot whose room it was. There was one on my door, and one on the door on the other side of my room. I realized we were supposed to put those notes on the doors on the 9th floor. iJustine disappeared, but my cousins, TJ and Lauren, were with me. We thought we were on the 9th floor because of the notes. We knocked on a door to get iJustine back out, when an angry man came from his room across the hall. I finally realized we were on floor 8. The man complained about all of the noise we make knocking on the door. I told him it's not us, and I agreed with him because of all the kids making noise and running around at night. He left angry.

      The rest of my family came out of the rooms, and we all stood in the small hallway. My aunt Lexi all of a sudden cried, and told my aunt Donna that she ruined the whole trip, which caused my aunt Lexi to storm off crying. This caused my cousin TJ to almost cry. My aunt Donna started to laugh, which got me angry. I wanted to cuss her out, but I didn't. I stormed off and went into my cabin. Things started to blur out.

      I appeared outside on the ship, and there was a dance party going on. My dad and sister were dancing with everyone, and my mom was relaxing on a lounge chair. The dream ended.


      2. I was with some girl and we went on a snow tube. It went down my driveway and almost went all the way down my street because of all of the ice.

    5. Cruises, Music, and Ristar

      Cruises, Dancing, and Ristar (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      1. I was on a cruise ship with my mom. Everyone else on the ship was a stranger to me. When the dream started, I assumed we were on the Lido deck, as there were a lot of pools there. The pools were made to look exactly like beaches, though, as the water would gradually get deeper, and there was a lot of sand and beach chairs. I think my mom said she wanted to go swimming, and then two guys approached us. I started talking with one, and then they left. I think he told me about a worker who had a premonition about something.

      I somehow teleported into an elevator, lying on the floor. An employee was in the elevator, and he helped me up. When we got to the bottom floor, a lot of employees were there. They told me to leave, so I did.

      2. I was on another cruise with all of my family that went on a real life cruise with me. It started out with me and all of my cousins on an excursion. We all were on some log thing, and I sat in the front. First we were racing on water, then we were hitting patches of land. I really thought that we were going to crash. Then instead of little patches of land, we were racing on the land. I covered my face so that all of the plants wouldn't scratch up my face. Huge plants were all around us, and all of a sudden, my cousin TJ was in front of me. I ducked still, so nothing would hit me. I appeared in front again, and we were in a cave. Bats were flying everywhere!

      We all got back onto the ship, and we were told that four of us had to learn a dance. Every move in the dance we had to learn was the same, but each person had a different ending. The dancing instructor first took Melissa, my sister, away to teach her the dance. I waited with my cousins Adriana and Jeannine, and we got some ice cream. My sister finally came baack, and the dance instructor was nowhere to be found! My cousin Lauren then started to eat dinner.

      3. I was at my house, and there was a giant dance floor in my living room. Everyone had to pair up, so I paired up with a girl I don't know. Music started, so we began to dance the tango, just as everyone else was, but we added in some of our own moves. The first song was done, but I saw my friend Kailey leave with her family. I passed by the bathroom, and some old, fat woman was in there, talking about who knows what. I went outside and saw that they were taking a family picture, with the old, fat woman! All of a sudden, my aunt Michelle, uncle Matt, and little cousin Michael arrived at my house.

      4. I was in the room that I had on my cruise with two strangers. This room was also positioned in the living room of my house, as it had a door to the backyard. All of a sudden, some dragon thing appeared, but then it disappeared. They told me to check under the bed, but I was too afraid to do that. I think a cyclops appeared, so I ran outside. Outside, I saw my dog, Champ, and my neighbor's dog, Scooby. They were running around and talking to each other. Some monsters appeared, and I defeated them. They acted like the bosses in Ristar, where they change colors after each hit. I remember there was a giant squid enemy.

    6. confining russians; girl in vietnam; purple robot-mold

      by , 07-31-2011 at 01:31 PM
      Good morning, everybody.

      Dream #1

      I was in some run-down part of some big town. I was on a block with thin apartment buildings. The outsides of the buildings were grey, like they were either of unpainted cinder block or had their paint chipped off or worn off. It was daytime, and the light seemed kind of yellowy-pale and humid.

      I was with a group of people. We all seemed to be in a line, and we were all being directed into one of the apartment complexes. I understood that we had all been sought out by some group and brought here.

      I was now with the group that was seeking us out. They were seeking out Russians. But I wasn't a Russian. I had a bad feeling that I was simply part of their operation, kind of disguised as one of the people being sought, but that I was actually helping catch the people and get them confined in this one apartment building.

      I was now with a line of Russian men, heading into this apartment building. One of the men in front of me was blonde, with a short haircut and pale skin. We got inside. The door opened directly to a dark, narrow, winding stairwell.

      There was some kind of military guy just inside. He looked to be maybe in his 40s, a bit overweight, with a pudgy face, sweaty, and stubble-covered. He wore some kind of camouflage trenchcoat and one of those thick, round hats with the fur lining and earflaps.

      I asked the man what I was doing here, what the Russians were here for, and if I really needed to be a part of this. The man raised a finger to his lips and said, "Sh... Just wait here until they're all upstairs. Act like you're going upstairs, too. Then, once they're all upstairs, just leave through the front door. We want to make sure we have them all here for the trial. As long as they think you're going, they'll go, too."

      I now felt really terrible -- even though I definitely planned to leave this place as soon as I could. But it was like all the Russians had to think I was going with them, or else they wouldn't go. So I had to trick them into thinking I was going, too. But I wasn't. Why was I helping these military people capture these people?

      I didn't quite feel like I could leave. Now that I knew there was going to be a trial, I wanted to see what it was going to be about. So I'd stay for that.

      The trial took place in a room on the first floor, just off from the stairwell. The room was short, but kind of wide. It was barren, with dirty, concrete floors and plain, white walls. The light was incandescent, but it also felt cold and barren. There was a group of officials seated at a long folding table to my left. On the other side of the room was a vague group of people. Some were people being judged. Some were attorneys.

      Someone had told me, again, that I could come in and see what the trial was all about. They told me that I could actually even help them out with the trial. I didn't want to help out with the trial, but I suddenly found myself doing so.

      I stood out on the floor, giving some kind of random speech. I was trying to make myself look like I was defending the Russians. But what I was really doing was making them feel more comfortable, so they'd give up as much information as possible.

      Dream #2

      There was a man in some part of the world like Vietnam. I'm not sure what the time period was. It seemed like nowadays, or maybe even a little bit into the future. The man had done some spy-like thing, probably against America. He had been discovered. But he was already beginning to make a quick getaway.

      The man looked like a stereotypical "Sgt. Rock" type of soldier. He wore a camouflage uniform, a rounded helmet with something like netting over it, and he had a muscular face and stubble. He may even have been smoking a cigarette.

      The man was now getting into something like a spaceship. It was right next to some kind of hut on stilts. The spaceship looked like an old, 1950s style rocket, with the elliptical body and tailfins and everything. But it was made of some really silvery material.

      The man had climbed into some kind of side door or hatch high up on the ship, possibly via some high window, or even the roof, of the hut. There were now a lot of rushing and booming sounds.

      The space shuttle seemed to be lifting off. But now an Asian-looking woman, who was actually a spy for the American side, was calling out the window of the hut for the man. She had been assigned to get him back so that the Americans could put him on trial for whatever his spy activity had been. So she was pretending that she loved him and she didn't want him to go.

      At this point I may have seen from the man's point of view. The woman seemed huge, like she was stretching all the way up into the air to pull me down. Her cries also seemed really terrifying somehow, like supernatural moans. For some reason, either I or the soldier decided to stay, since the woman loved either me or the soldier.

      Dream #3

      There were a group of people trying to fight some kind of alien menace. I'm not really sure what it was. The group was maybe a couple of guys and a girl.

      One of the guys was separated from the rest of the group. He ended up finding the body of a woman who was thought to be in on the aliens' plans. But he didn't know that his discovery of the woman's body was planned.

      The woman was actually an alien. The aliens were actually like robots. But the robots were made out of this purple mold, which was something like a living machine that could shape itself in various ways.

      The man had done something to the woman, possibly cutting her open with a scalpel for some reason. A piece of the purple mold squirted out of the woman's body and onto the man's left eye.

      The man didn't pay it any attention: it wasn't much. But the mold worked its way behind the man's eye and into his brain. I knew this meant that the mold would proliferate in the man's brain and body, eventually turning him into a robot.

      Later the rest of the man's group would (or did?) find the man. They would (or did) think, wrongly, that the man was fine, when he actually was an alien robot, ready to spread the mold into other human bodies.
    7. Paintball like place and Watching TV with my Dad

      by , 07-31-2011 at 01:29 PM
      I was behind a barrier taking cover from paintball shots. I think I was in a team and we had to take an enemy base. It could've been capture the flag I don't know. It was a kind of desert not your usual forest.

      I was watching TV with my dad and the sun was shining thorugh the window. No wonder I couldn't go lucid it was pretty ordinary.

    8. Rich'n'Famous, Budapest

      by , 07-31-2011 at 01:01 PM
      31-07-11 I am at a fancy house, seems like one of those houses from a I-used-to-be-rich-and-famous-but-both-are-diminishing-so-I-could-do-with-a-media-boost show. The plot is that the dad has an upcoming 30 year birthday and one of his younger daughters is getting married, but she has left the household and is now sending small items or gifts back home.

      The dad is getting pissed off because he won't see his daughter for this “big” birthday. All the while this happy therapist/psychologist/con artist is walking around the house commentating on the actions from his daughter, actions she herself has asked her to carry out.

      One of these is to send back a lot of colourful items, which I believe is nail polish as well as coloured matches. Someone (a step mum or a sister) takes this as an insult and gets severely pissed off, which obviously is the point.

      My role in the dream is fairly passive I just walk around taking it all in, might listen to some of the people every now and again.


      Think this may be a continuation of previous dream. I am lying in a bed and J and Kaiser joins in. J is happy and she snuggles close up to Kaiser or allow him to snuggle close up to her. The setting is a large double bed in bright surroundings, daytime.

      She moves closer to me, and verbalise that she likes it. We lie like that for a short while until J decides to put her hands in my pants and start masturbating me. Kaiser doesn't seem to like this, but he doesn't say anything.

      I don't like it and she only does it for about a second before I pull away. I wonder if she even got to reach it as I didn't really feel anything, so I look down and see the tip sticking out of my trousers.

      The reason I didn't like it was that she did it only for fun, without any actual feelings involved.


      I am in Budapest, although lots of time in the dream is spent discovering this. There are a lot of friendly Hungarians around. Even when we are out shopping I never seem to not have a cookie or other piece of bakery and a coffee in my hands.

      The second cup of coffee I receive I struggle a bit with. The small white lid doesn't seem willing to go on and I have to put it on a table to get it to stick.

      I believe we have arrived there by train and there is a guide with us.

      We go wandering Lasse, myself and a fellow traveller. As we are walking up a flight of stairs, very wide in a central public place that reminds me of any stairs in large train stations, Mystery traveller asks if there isn't something about Budapest, the Hagia Sofia or something. I have been thinking about that and tell him I believe it is here (I am aware of its actual location in Istanbul, though I double checked it after the dream ^^).

      I proclaim that I should like to see that so we go out searching for it. We walk across a market, it is dark and the primary source of light is rather industrial from the shops around set in white tents.

      I haven't yet seen anything that reminds me of Hagia Sofia, but at one point I see the charactaristic spires fairly far apart. I start running in this direction.

      I realise that there is little reason to run, but I am just so god damn excited so I slow down and talk to Mystery Traveller. “I get easily excited” I say “I noticed” he replies.

      So we are navigating the maze of the market and at one point we loose one of our companions. As we look back to find him he is doing push ups over by a little street salesman sat on the pavement. I quickly get the feeling that he has been somehow compelled to do it and I am careful walking back over there.

      As we walk back all of a sudden everyone drops down and starts doing push-ups. The salesman put put on a military tone and says “give me ten!” But the tone is playful and I realise that he has a game that makes people do push-ups.

      I feel an electric shock in my feet, though without the painful element, but it isn't quite a tickle. And also I, though knowing his trick am forced to do push-ups.

      After I am done I check the underside of my shoes and find little green splinters from the game so I take them out and toss them back to the salesman. He doesn't say anything, but somehow compliment me on discovering his trick so quickly.

      Lasse explains that the price is about a Billion “Euro-something” which after a quick calculation amounts to 15 DKK, which is extremely cheap.


      I am in Thure's parents house. He has emptied the kitchen cupboard I notice as I go looking for cookies and fruit biscuits.

      Outside Thure is trying to stack everything he owns, bed, sofa, mattress on towards the plants of the house. It looks like Ruth's house outside the door.

      His top mattress falls down and half of it is wet. I tell him he should re-arrange it as it is wet already and it will be lying in a pool of water if it starts raining.

    10. 12th shared dreaming attempt - MrIrony's dream

      by , 07-31-2011 at 12:08 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      MrIrony's dream

      Cursed false awakenings! I thought once again that I had written a dream down, but apparently I didn't! Well, I remember one.

      I'm in some library with my cousin. We go to the computers and start playing some games. I find one that looks interesting and start playing. As I do that, I'm in the game. I help some man walk through an alley. There's an one minute time limit. The man is seriously wounded and can barely walk. We move through some labyrinth-like alleys, sometimes finding some flying balls. They have different colors, but only color I can remember is blue. I feed them to the man and every blue ball gives us more time. There's also some ghost children wondering around. They're not the scary type and seem to be scared of the man. I think they carried some of those balls. At this point I'm pretty much dragging the man forward. Then the timer reaches zero. I carefully drop the man to the ground as he closes he's eyes. I see his soul rising from the body as the ghost children gather around him. (Not the "we're going to eat you" gathering, but the "let's go together" kind.) I hear a voice saying that neither me nor some guy who is suddenly with me can see what's happening. For some reason we walk around and ask each other what happened, instead of calling help. I woke up.

      While writing this I remembered an fragment. Although all I remember is considering starting playing Runescape again. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.

      It'sMEE's Dreams

      1st Dream

      I'm in a room with lots of people who I guess are from my school. There are tables and glass cases, so the room looks like a musuem. The glass cases have things in them and the tables have plastic trays and other things, including piles of pencils. People begin to put various items in the plastic trays, matching up the shapes of the 'artifacts' in the glass cases. Once they've got it correct, a small speaker under the table plays a message. For a while I just stand and listen and work out that each table is giving out clues, or something like that, about people I know. And somehow, I know there is going to be one about me. I go to the nearest table and pick up a heavy red thing. It's sort of cone shaped, only the end is rounded and there's a metal hook at the front. I have no idea what it's for, but I try some shapes on the table and find one that fits. I can't remember what the message was, but it wasn't anything to do with me. I move on to another table, the one with the pile of pencils on it, and start putting pencils randomly into the tray. It's next to a window, so I look out briefly. There's a tall tower that looks kind of like a slide. After a while, I realise that there are slots for the pencils to fit into and I manage to click them into place. A little screen reads a number with a 'g', so I think that it must be reading the weight. I do another one, but I have no clue why because it just tells me the weight of a bunch of pencils. I go outside.

      There's the tall tower, which I looked at inside. There are long, tassely silver and gold strips hanging down from the tower. If it is a slide, I'm looking at it from the back. I walk up to the tassels and go inside. There are more strips of silver and gold. I walk blindly around for a bit, when I come out into the middle. There are ladders all around. I climb one and find a maze-like room, with plenty of doors. I try the nearest one to find it's locked. I climb back down and leave the tower. I'm about to go back inside, when something red shoots out the middle of the tower. I chase after it and find a bright white alley. There are people there, some who I know and i notice they are all the people described in the museum. They have paint on their faces, two horizontal strips on each cheek. The red thing is laying at the back.
      "What is that?" I ask them. They shrug, and then something else shoots down the alley. Someone catches it before it hits someone else in the face. I see they are wearing gloves. The thing they have caught is a translucent blue-tinged gunk in a large football shape. They dip it in a bucket of stuff that looks like lime jelly and pass it to a girl who's just finished putting paint on her face. She throws it into the red thing. Now everyone seems to know what they're doing, and I take over catching the blue gunk with everyone cheering me on.

      I don't know how long I spent catching the blue stuff, but I end up with three friends in a room exactly the same as the room we were given on a school trip last week. The walls are dull grey, and the floor a dull green. The room is about 3x3 metres big with two bunk beds packed in on the left and at the back of the room. For some reason, I have a pile of soaking clothes that I want to hang up, but there isn't anywhere to hang them as I'm on the top bunk. I start to hang them off the edge of the bed, but my friend on the bottom bunk protests. "Ew, don't hang them there, I have to sleep here!" so I drop the clothes on the floor. I realise I'm wearing some weird grey and white shirt made of rubber. "Huh? Why am I wearing this?"

      The the dream ends

      2nd dream

      I'm playing a joke on my little sister. I've cut up some straws and put them over my teeth to make vampire fangs. My little sister gets really scared. I laugh loads and pull the fangs off.
      "How did you do that?" my little sister sniffs.
      "They're straws." I say simply.

      3rd dream

      I'm in a room, a tall, white-walled room. I get the feeling that it's really old, because the walls seem to be slanted like they're sagging in. There is someone behind me. I turn around.
      "Do you know where you are?" he asks (I'm pretty sure it was a 'he')
      "No." I reply.
      "Do you know why you don't know where you are?"
      "No!" I say "Should I know?"
      "Have you really no clue where you are?"
      "No, where am I?" But he just walks away. It seems like it's sort of foggy in here. I walk forwards, and ahead of me is a sign that says 'Please wash your Bum.' This startles me, so I look away and when I look back, it says 'Please wash your Hobo' I sigh and look around. Suddenly the fog is gone, and the room is filled with what are clearly tramps. I go up to one who's not quite as tall as me and is standing there scratching his back. I notice a huge bathtub.
      "Do you know where you are?" asks Shorty.
      "No, and I don't know why I don't know where I am and why I should be here." I sigh.
      "I'd have thought that'd be obvious. Have you tried looking up?" Shorty holds his thumb up at shoulder height, and I look up. The ceiling probably isn't a quarter of the size as the floor. Light is coming in from each side of the ceiling. When I look back down, Shorty and all the other tramps have gone. I'm frustrated because I don't have any clue what is going on and I wish I knew where I was and everyone seems to know something I don't, and that annoys me. The guy from before is back.
      "Can you tell me where I am?" I ask. "And what I'm doing here." but before anything else happens, the light goes out and it's pitch black. There's suddenly a pot in one corner, and light is coming out of it. I don't remember what happens next, but I end up staring into the pot. At the bottom is an image of something, but I can't tell what. The person has followed me.
      "Still don't know where you are or how you got here?" I shake my head. "Isn't it obvious? You really thought you were awake?"
      The picture at the bottom of the pot is getting clearer, it looks like a huge row of columns. They look sort of old and crumbly and I'm about to step into the pot because now I know I'm dreaming and I want to go to wherever that picture is of, when I wake up.

      my dream : I got a job as a wedding/function photographer at a local hotel, I didnt have a SLR, just a small digital camera.
      Then my boss turned lined up lots of people to see if i could take good photos (even though i didnt have a tripod, i didn't look
      very professional!) then i went in my old house and my boss turned into my dad and i told him about
      this new camera i fount out about the night before, they can take retro photos (Diana f+)
      and it's called lomography.He was impressed with my photographic skills (even though i wasnt a professional and wasnt really
      that great in the dream)
    13. A Recurring Nightmare

      by , 07-31-2011 at 11:38 AM (Pickle's Nightly Subconscious Activities Recorded in a Journal)
      Hello DV community, this is a story of a recurring nightmare that occurred over time when I was young. First I'll set out the background.

      I watched Teletubbies growing up. Those round, TV bellied, aerial-on-head gods were the greatest thing in my childhood. I had the toys, the videos and I watched it every time possible. And one day, they showed and episode that stopped me watching Teletubbies. The Lion and Bear. If you Google "Teletubbies the lion and bear" you will find the controversial clip. There was a Lion, that chased this bear, roared so loud that the clouds moved and trees shook. The Teletubbies were scared. So who else was scared? You got it, their number one fan.

      The dream began with me on my bedroom floor. In reality, I wasn't far from the bed, but it felt like miles. I got up. My legs were weak, and they shook. Then I heard a growl I heard watching TV a few hours earlier. The world shook. Through my bedroom door came the Lion. (Somewhere in my subconscious I knew it's name was simply "Lion", not "The Lion") It came towards me at high speed. My room wasn't big, but images of the lion chasing the bear flashed in my mind. My heart raced. I couldn't talk. It hit me.

      I woke up, and ran through to my parents room.

      So, as I said, this dream was recurring. From then on I just curled up into a ball and never moved. But I couldn't wake myself up. Eventually my curiosity took over. I stood, and was mauled down again. These passed after some time. There was another dream involving Lion that occurred once, however.

      It began with a false awakening. I went downstairs, and at the table were two babushka dolls the size of people. I knew they were my mum and dad. Lion appeared. This was some time after the recurring dreams, I felt like I had some power over him. I pleaded for him to change them back, but he roared, and spoke. I had to make a promise to them.

      I looked at the doll that was my mum. I promised her that I would always do baking with her. (Baking cakes was a common thing she did, and offered me the opportunity to help but I always turned it down). I looked at my dad, who, at that time I wasn't exactly closest family with. I loved him, and he was my dad, but it just didn't feel right. So I looked at the corresponding doll and promised I'd always hug him. They changed, and I awoke. I lay in bed for some time thinking about that dream, but then I went to sleep.

      I think that last one may have been helpful... as I've always tried to help bake stuff and spend time with my dad. The babushka dolls probably appeared because my uncle had one but I thought it was creepy.

      Thanks for taking the time to read my first entry!

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Barelly managed to remember a fragment of it.
      I was walking to what seemed to be my new house. Just before walking
      inside,I started talking to myself: "I moved to a new city, how will I go
      to school, I'll be a new guy, etc." After I said that, It hit me: "Wait,
      I didin't move!". After that I reached for my nose to do a reality check,
      but just before I could, everything went black.
      The dream ended. I think I'm close to another lucid dream.
      Tags: city, house, school, what?

      OK, so nothing last night. Mainly cause I forgot all about dream recall this morning until I was well up. Still, yesterday afternoon I remembered a flash of the night before's dream which looks really promising. My daytime RC is to check my hands and in my dream I remember checking my hands. Yay!
