    1. Prolog: Changing Paradise

      by , 11-27-2010 at 07:04 AM
      Ghaa!-paradice.jpg
      I am starting this journal because my dreaming has become stagnant and this journal should help change and clarify things. I have other book dream journals a piled foot high and have done it all. It has all improved my life greatly...but. My dreaming now consists of me wondering around, if I'm lucky maybe I'll dream I lost my car. I am not afraid of anything and have no burning desires, basically I am a god in my dreams able to do anything at any time. Is this what it is like to be a god, have no fears but no burning desires either? Whats the next level? I feel stuck wondering the dream worlds like a ghost. Basically I have run out of challenges, I have either done it or if unpleasant can, with little more than a thought, do away with it. So I am going to use this dream journal to explore this position I find myself in, as well as myself, in order to bring about some type of satisfactory change to this boring self-made paradise. I kind of feel like Q in Star Trek and how he was trying to transform his paradise. I too am Q in that I am the world, the inhabitants, and the rebel. The natives are restless, let the revolution begin.

    2. And thus it begins.

      by , 11-27-2010 at 05:33 AM
      I find it very interesting that the moment I decided to dedicate my waking life to the understanding of my dreams and my subconscious, I began to dream... a whole lot more. I mean, sure... the marijuana detox probably has something to do with it as well, (7 days and counting), but it's honestly been YEARS... long before I started smoking weed... that I have dreamed this much. On top of that, simply dedicating my self to the art of dreaming has increased my lucidity as well.

      In these 7 days alone, my dream recall and control has made exponential progress. I'm already lucid dreaming practically every night at some point (the ability to realize you are dreaming and control your dream), and by virtue of the same token, I've started waking up in the middle of the night and falling back asleep... consciously. These experiences are among some of the most memorable and interesting... when they don't slip away from my memory as quickly as they came. This is one of the reasons I've gotten so serious about writing everything down. Not only do I want to remember my dreams, but I want to show my subconscious/Higher Self that I'm finally serious about understanding all the parts of me I don't yet. I'm not afraid of me.

      I rarely have nightmares. The last true nightmare I can remember having was at age 12. (I have had several out of body experiences as a teenager that scared the SHIT out of me because I didn't understand what was happening, but I don't count those as nightmares.) I do occasionally have moments of fear in my dreams. When they occur, I tend to confront the challenge quickly and not run from it (last night, for example, I had to deal with a snake and a wolf. I wound up severing the heads of both creatures.) ... I don't like experiencing lingering fear in my dreams because I know all it will do is hold my mind back. In a sense, I guess you could say I've been doing a lot of work at mastering my dreams over 25 years of life...whether consciously or not. I've just finally gotten serious about taking it to the next level and becoming a conscious, active part of this process.

      Nothing interests me more than the workings of my mind at night. I think there are great mysteries to life that can be unlocked in the dream world and beyond, and I find it kind of interesting that so many people just take the 1/3 of their life they spend in other states of consciousness for granted. This journal will be dedicated to the pursuit of... understanding and exploring my dreams, and their connection to my waking life and my Self.

      My comments will appear in BLACK.

      My dreams will appear in BLUE.

      When I become lucid and an active, conscious participant in a dream, I shall use the color RED. Nothing beats realizing you're dreaming and becoming God-like in your personal world.

      If I am led to believe that my experience may have been more than a dream, or if something in my dream world is incredibly vivid or important to me, my RED will appear bold. I have a strong connection to the color red. The more vibrant, the more I resonate with it.

      Here is wishing you all pleasant dreams... and beyond!

      by , 11-27-2010 at 04:55 AM (awesome ninja dream journal)
      its been almost a month since i last posted a dream but they've been so crappy coz i've been studying for exams. anyway this is the one i literally just woke up from.

      I’m watching this scene of dragonball z where its goku, gohan and this other kid. The kid was some kind of dictator on the planet and had some evil plan to kill all the black kids. Goku picks up a staff and says “ its wrong to discriminate. I have know choice but to stop you.” He charges at the kid ready to swing but its just a plan of his to get gohan to try persuade the kid to change. Sure enough gohan(teen) goes super saiyan and charges goku into a wall. He says” father its not too late let me try and talk some sense into him”. Goku says”you heard him yourself he’s a ruthless killer. I don’t get to see what happens as the scene changes. It’s the scene of a dream that ive had before. There are two jedis, two sith and they both have two soldiers of their own kind with them.chaos ensues and in the end are the two dark troopers. But the one shoots the other in the head.then they take their mask off and its this gorgeous woman. Darth vader walks up to her and takes off his mask and its vince mcmahon! The woman was a mercenary paid to follow vince’s orders. However because I’ve seen this before I know that mcmahon backstabs the woman and kills her to get rid of any witnesses. Not allowing thisto happen I focus on the womans body and take it over with my mind. I make her spin around in circles to test if it worked and she’s spinning like a top. Mcmahon tries to guilt her saying stuff like “don’t you want to complete the mission.” But im in control and I make her jump a mile into the air.

      Suddenly im seeing the dream from the womans view.
      I become lucid and do an arch backflip. Then I try to do a kamehameha into the ground but I fail. The I try maintain flight but shouting levitate but that doesn’t work. So I focus my powers so that I land so softly its like I was only ten inches off the ground. Ive landed in my backyard near the pool. I notice someone there from my fathers office. I eye him suspiciously but he doesn’t seem to be a threat. I proceed to jump on the trampoline even though its trashed IRL. Then I tell the guy to watch this and I fly up towards my house and punch the roof. I easily land on the floor and he looks quite amused. Then I look into the house and want to see whats going on. But end up losing lucidity and waking up.

    4. 11/21/10 At Hogwarts... and Not Lucid?!

      by , 11-27-2010 at 04:51 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      I am in a place I don't recognize, it looks like the interior of a castle, which I think is pretty damn awesome. I am wishing I had my camera with me so I could take some photos of the place, but since I don't, I just focus on taking in as many details of the place as I can. The arches over the ceiling of the room are very high and ornate, the ground is stone, there are many tapestries hanging on the stone walls. Each of the tapestries shows a scene with some epic quest underway, but they mean nothing to me since I have never seen any of the people in them before. There is a large wooden door on one side of the room, which is closed. I can hear a lot of talking from the other side, it sounds like there might be some kind of party going on over there. I wonder if we are invited to that party, or if we are going elsewhere in this castle. Part of me wants to go in to see the party, but another part of me wants to sneak away from the group and explore the castle some more. I really wanted to see as much of the place as I could. In addition to the large door, there were several smaller doors around the outside wall of the room, which was round. I wonder where those doors might lead, but I have not yet had a chance to make my way over to one… there are also quite a few people in the room with me… before a woman enters the room and silences everyone with a firm voice. I look over to where the voice is coming from, and the woman is standing beside the large door. She is dressed in black robes with a symbol on them, it is a symbol that looks like a red griffin… then I recognize where I think I have seen her before… Professor McGonagall from the Harry Potter series?! Nah… it must just be a resemblance.

      Well, now everyone is listening to Professor McGonagall, which is what I am calling her in my mind since I don't know what her name really is… She welcomes us to the castle… awesome! It really is a castle, now I just need to get away so I can explore… I really don't want to miss my chance to explore this place… I am looking for a way to get to a door that isn't being watches when the woman actually introduces herself as Professor McGonagall. At this point I stop looking for ways to leave the room and I look back over at the woman, she continues talking to us. For the first time it registers that everyone in the room with me is rather young, looking like they're barely out of high school, and everyone there is paying very close attention to McGonagall. Wow… I must be the oldest one in there short of McGonagall herself… Great, now I feel out of place. I move over to the side of the room to stay as invisible as possible. I catch a glimpse of my reflection in a mirror hanging on one of the doors… and wow… I look like I am barely out of high school! Wow, I don't look nearly as old as I thought I did… there were clearly no unsightly bags under my eyes there! I wander back into the group, trying to hear McGonagall speaking.

      "There you are!" comes a voice from off to my right. I look over to see Tigress coming over to meet me, she says she had started to wonder if I was going to make it tonight. I say of course I made it, how could I ever miss being in a place like this? She gives me a puzzled look, but before she can say anything else, McGonagall says it is time to enter the great hall and be sorted into our houses. We all file into the large room beyond the large wooden doors and down an aisle through some large tables with people sitting at them. Some of the people there look older than those of entering, some look about the same age, I see a few faces that look rather familiar. We all reach the front of the room and line up, Tigress is beside me, and I see more people I recognize, all of them from the Harry Potter series. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Draco, Crabb, Goyle, Neville, and several others I recognized. This all seems strange… Tigress is whispering to me from my right side, but I can't really hear what she's saying. I try to tell her that, but she can't seem to hear what I am saying, either. Soon McGonagall is getting everyone's attention again, and it is soon silent in the room.

      I recognize what is happening in the room, we are all being sorted into different houses of Hogwarts. Somehow this doesn't trigger a reality check… um… sometimes I can be really thick headed in dreams… Everything is going as I remember it going in the books, everyone is getting assigned where they are in the books. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, are all in Gryffindor… Draco, Crabb, and Goyle are in Slytherin… Tigress is right in front of me, she gets assigned to Gryffindor, then it is my turn. So where would I be assigned? I sit in the seat, with a rather old and slightly smelly pointed hat on my head, wondering where I could get something done. Well, since I am a healer before other things, I need to be where I can get the most healing done the most easily. Most of the people at Hogwarts that need to have their harts healed are in Slytherin… yuck… I don't really like the idea of being in there, but then if someone wants to be a doctor, they have to go to where the sick people are… such as in a hospital. So if I want to heal someone's heart, I need to be in Slytherin. I'm not sure if the hat hears what I am thinking or maybe it sees the dark energy I have in me, but it complies and assigns me to Slytherin.

      So while I would rather go over to sit with Tigress, I am directed to go sit at a different table with a bunch of people I don't know, with a bunch of Slytherins. This is not where I want to be going, so I go over to the table and look for an empty seat. I sit down without looking at anyone around me. There are people around me welcoming me there, just like happens at the other tables when someone is welcomed, but something seems off, and I realize it's the energy I feel coming off of some of them. It's more unstable than elsewhere in the room, it's more negative. There are still some more people being sorted, but I'm not paying any attention to that now, I look over across the room at Tigress, I would rather be over there… did I make a big mistake? I am wondering that when I hear a voice next to me. I look over and I see Draco is sitting right next to me… was he there when I sat down? I don't remember even looking to see who I was sitting beside, I don't really care who I'm sitting beside. So now I am thinking I might have made a dumb choice, by the time I finished being in Slytherin for a while, the place would be a blood bath… I would go on a psychotic killing spree.

      Draco is making some kind of comment, he says something about not needing that loser since I am where I belong now… I ask what loser he is talking about, he indicates Tigress, which pisses me off. I am not in a good mood right now, and it definitely shows, it doesn't take much to set me off then. I grab Draco's collar and pull his face down right next to mine, practically hissing the threats I am making… I tell him if I ever hear him saying nasty things about Tigress again that I'll kick him in the nuts so hard they get lodged in his fucking nostrils, and don't make the mistake of thinking I can't do it, because I can. Draco is looking at me strangely, I think he can see that I am completely serious about that, Crabb and Goyle don't seem to know what to do, thus they look stupider than ever. Draco finally says he didn't mean anything by it, he was just trying to make me feel better about being apart from my old friends, I'd make new ones. I am not in the mood for making friends right now, though, so I just let go of Draco and return my attention to watching Tigress on the other side of the room… but now I don't see her there. Where did she go? How did she disappear? It flashes through my mind that Tigress probably woke up, but that makes no sense since I am not dreaming… am I? I never get a chance to check that out, however, I wake up.
    5. 5 dreams from last night/today

      by , 11-27-2010 at 04:12 AM (limitless' limits)
      1: Frag- I was with two characters from a book(dont know what book) one was quiet and only mumbled gibberish and the other was a rebellious loud mouth. We had to crash together in a cabin, in sleeping bags. I remember one female DV who was fit but bald and she was 100% full of herself and snobby but we got along fine.
      :shrug:

      2: I went to a live show that Jenn put on, she bought the place and organized shows there that were freakshow / burlesque. I waited for the intro and when the girls introduced Jenn i waved at her, she pointed at me and one of the dancers showed me upstairs to wait for her. I was dressed in sexy gothic clothes and had extreme shoes on, and the stairway was tiny and had very awkward stairs. I got up and sat on a couch to wait, and the next thing i remember is sitting in Jenn's lap. Dont remember much else, woke up shortly after.

      3: I found Akono, it was a pretty short frag of us slow-mo walking towards each other in a grey room when we got close i gave him a kiss and he held me until i woke up. :3

      4: I found out all my family were kinda like wizards. The dream took place in my friend's house down the street from my old house, it was kinda like a haven for my family and some outrageous gay group whom all had AIDS. Everyone looked really exaggerated and i knew i was the closest to one random DC cousin who i had a weird bond with. We held a ceremony to announce who had the strongest powers out of our clan. I didnt know until we were done that i had no power at all.

      5: Frag- Last dream i had, i was chillin with Moose. We were walking around a building in a country setting and we sat on some muskoka chairs and talked until i woke up. I dont remember our conversations tho.

      non-lucid , memorable , dream fragment
    6. of boats, stairs and hotels

      by , 11-27-2010 at 03:52 AM
      Interconnected elements of this dream:

      THE BACKGROUND. Something in the dream just told me that we were out on a vacation with my usual adventure buddies. The plan was to gather a daypack after checking in a hotel...a rather grand one.

      THE BOAT. When I was about to board a small boat, I saw people in the boat which the dream states are my buddies though their faces were not recognizable. They were in bright orange life jackets waiting on me. but suddenly they told me the trip was an overnighter on an island. I ran as fast I could thru the hotel grounds, grasses (first person point of view) to quickly re-pack for an overnight.

      THE HOTEL. Trying to return to my room, I got lost. My keys had a 4 digit number in it and the first two digits of that number I can see on the hotel doors, implying i was in the right floor. But something in the dream said that it was in the wrong building/tower. I scrambled to another building, but was unable to get to the 8th floor, which the key number seems to indicate where I was supposed to go. I then found myself in the 4th floor instead and asked around hotel staff. They said best to take stairs up. I tried looking for the elevator but can't find and since my buddies were waiting on me, I decided to run up the stairs.

      THE STAIRS. Halfway thru the first flight, I tried to retreat (wanting to still find an elevator), but a big cat..something like a cheetah was growling at me. I tried to give the cat a quick kick to protect myself and continued to run upstairs. I only ran up 3 floors...but somehow I was in my room.

      UNPACKING. I went to my closet to get my bigger bag & unpack some stuff to place in my daypack. It was a bit dark, the scene was grayish. as I unpack, several contents seem familiar but can't quite remember now what they were. something in the dream told me it's been already 10minutes since I took off from the boat, whereas I promised my buddies I'd be back in 5.

      Then I woke up.

    7. One dream

      by , 11-27-2010 at 03:47 AM (MoSh's DJ: The Best Dream Journal in The Universe.)
      All I remember is seeing Tony from chilliwack and giving him a cd of my guitar playing. I think I was waiting for him to give me his opinion o it but I never found him later.

      woke up lots with good feelings about asuka on my mind. Must have dreamed of her... but as usual it's hard to recall her.

    8. retracing 10 dreams since october

      by , 11-27-2010 at 02:58 AM (limitless' limits)
      21st of October- end of the world

      Im at my old house and we heard something about monsters in major cities and decided we could make it if we stuck together as a family. Mom, aunt, grandma, brother, friend and his GF were there. Our neighbourhood became like a haven for people trying to get away from the city. So we threw a party before splitting up and heading further into counrty-like areas. A bus arrived and we thought it was just more people trying to escape. But it was full of government people in white military uniforms who were violently arresting, and sanitizing people. I remember hiding in a barn with a Velcro wall, eventually i was taken in but i didnt fight them so i wasnt harmed. I woke up when i was being hand cuffed.

      28th of October- F.A

      I was dreaming that im awake, chatting with Akono and all of a sudden i fall.. or get sucked into my bed, happened really fast and i crash land on the couch in my living room. I sit up, confused, and a hand reaches around the corner and picks me up by the front collar of my shirt and drags me back into my room and pushes me onto the bed and i immediately fall through again. The first time was shocking, but fun, crash landing on the couch a second time made me mad and i had concluded that it was Akono's hand, so i storm back to my room and find him on msn and yell at him, i remember he was proud. And i woke up.

      31st of October- reg dream

      I was living on a house boat, i got the feeling i was in Norway or Finland, i was with a DC family. There was a seamless glass sun room on top of the boat where i was. There was a lot of snow on the boat but i was looking at the sky through a clear part of the ceiling. All of a sudden the room shattered over me from the weight of the snow, my DC brother pulled me out and handed me a parka. Our DC father was fighting with a neighbour boat/ family, i didnt understand the language everyone was speaking. I knew i needed to start packing. When i finished i saw my father figure had stolen some important statues, and rushed me into a truck and lit our boat on fire. We drove to the airport and when we got there i woke up.

      5th of November-
      Had a really long dream about Akono :3

      11th- was posted in the "Post Your DV Member Dreams" thread
      My best recall since the 5th: Slash112 and some old guy and I were running a store inside of some huge, really old building. I think we sold random stuff that we found, like "pickers". I remember vividly, on break we went out back to a swing set that had two sets of handles and one chain that was attached at both ends to the top. And when we got there a young Will Ferrell was swinging by his neck and laughing really creepily. I probably should have RC'd cause irl, he'd die from that..
      Same night- I was standing on a beach with 4 or 5 random DCs, we were all facing the water, staring at a camcorder that was on a tripod. We had the preview screen tilted towards us and we were taking pics or a vid of us. I looked over at one of the DCs and watched him look up at the water and his jaw drop because of what he saw in the water. I also looked up but couldnt see it until all of the DCs were looking at it. When everyone noticed and started at it, i looked up again and saw now that it was a massive ship that was only about 10 feet away from us. It was at least 8 stories tall, i got too scared and tried to wake up but i just saw the ship from a top angle instead and saw my helpless friends on the beach. I couldnt do anything but stare at it until i woke up.

      12th- reg dream

      Had a dream that my mom and two of my friend's moms were at the kitchen table in my old house, stuffing a garbage bag with something and singing Orestes - A.P.C. "And I don't wanna feel this overwhelming hostility.."

      Same night- was also posted in the "Post Your DV Member Dreams" thread
      One of my shorter frags from this morning was about me mailing Akono a chistmas present. hehehee
      17th- end of the world

      Zombies had taken over and one man was plotting to use them to take over the world, humans weren't in danger of being pillaged by the zombies because this politician was controlling them. All i remember is being at a live theatre and the politician was leading an orchestra of the zombies, sounded fine but when i woke up i laughed.

      24th- end of the world

      Pt 1: I was at my old house with all of my family, but i knew (for the first time) that it's not my house, i think it was for a wedding. Pt 2: Kinda like i was knocked out and woke up and all of my family is dead or missing. I vividly remember trying to bail from some industrial building, stepping over bodies that i knew were my family but didnt recognize. I headed for my dad's standard truck with a plan to save as many people as i could and pull them onto the truck bed. But there were about 6 too many options on the gear shifting area, so i tried my best to pull the truck out and woke up as i was trying to park.
    9. 4 Lucid Dream Chain

      by , 11-27-2010 at 12:46 AM (Percy's Void of Thoughts)
      26.11.2010
      At the living room. (MILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a couple of non lucid dreams, but I was lazy to write them down. I remember four lucid dreams. Chained.

      I went to bed telling myself I had to MILD for a lucid dream. I wanted to attempt to Astral Project from another lucid dream.

      I was at home with my two made up female friends. I realized I was dreaming. I did not see oddities so I did a RC to make sure I was indeed dreaming. I was.

      I was in the living room. We had a few pieces of furniture. The room was almost empty. One of the female DC jumped on me and tried to have sex with me. I avoided at first as I did want to project, but then I agreed. I recalled I can have sex without waking up. While having sex, the dream when fuzzy, I realized I did not make the dream stable (flying) when the dream first started.
      I told my self to chain it into another lucid dream.

      26.11.2010
      keep chaining (DEILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a couple of non lucid dreams, but I was lazy to write them down. I remember four lucid dreams. Chained.

      Second:

      I was in the street and realized I successfully performed another L-DEILD. I checked my hands (with a 6th small finger coming out from my index) and confirmed.

      I decided to fly to make the dream stable. While I was flying I felt double consciousness in bed and I started to loose the dream. I realized that I was at the end of my REM and I was not able to chain in.
      I attempted to chain again.

      26.11.2010
      Chain Reaction (DEILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a couple of non lucid dreams, but I was lazy to write them down. I remember four lucid dreams. Chained.

      I felt my body in bed. I felt some minor vibrations. My trance was very mild so I fell asleep. I was at a Chinese restaurant. I was with some family and I decided to follow the dream. The dream looked more stable. I walked with my parents to find a table, however, I realized I was wasting a lucid so I just left while my dream mom was talking to me. She did not complain.

      There was a female DC sitting on a table. She was super hot. I really wanted to both have sex with her and to Astral Project. I realized I could always chain another dream, chaining always works for me. We had sex and when my dream was ending, I just focused on chaining once more.

      26.11.2010
      Failed Astral Projection ends the chain (DEILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a couple of non lucid dreams, but I was lazy to write them down. I remember four lucid dreams. Chained.

      I re spawned in the middle of the street, right outside the Chinese restaurant. I saw a female DC next to a car. She looked at me with the intention of having sex, but I avoided her. I decided to Astral Project, my dream quality was low so I tried to save it. I decided to fall on my back and focus on Astral Projection. The dream was ending sooner than I expected.

      I had a FA in my bed. I did not feel like I was projecting. I thought I awoke so I tried to not move. I tried to focus in floating and pulling my Astral Body away from my self. I walked away from my bed, I felt I could float, but did not work well. I was next to the door and I could not walk through it either. I realized I did not fail to project but I woke up. My wife was cooking and she smiled at me when she saw me. I woke up for real.
    10. Rotating Kiln.

      by , 11-27-2010 at 12:10 AM
      I'm hanging outside a bar, its nighttime and there is a lot of very beautiful graffiti on the wall that I'm concentrating on. I'm with about a half dozen others and feel bored and as though I really don't want to be there. Mundane conversations ensue and I'm kicking stones with my feet when I suddenly feel a shift in my consciousness. I feel more aware, much like I do when I shift my consciousness in this world to enhance my senses (warrior mode).
      I become so lucid and aware I start saying to the people I'm with, "This is so strange... why am I not waking up." I felt this way because I had vocalized my displeasure with where I was and my desire to be elsewhere. Normally if I am lucid dreaming and express these preferences the dream shifts or I wake up. I repeat myself, "Why am I not waking up, I'm so aware right now!" I turn around and notice a small metal door, much like a coal chute, approximately 1'x2', it catches my attention in a strange way and I look at it for a minute but then disregard it. I feel very warm and comfortable for a moment and I recognize a present energy as my friend Jonah (this recognition of energy without actually seeing this friend happens in reality, which is absolutely remarkable!). I turn around and he is standing behind me with a large grin on his face.
      "Hi!" I'm so happy and comfortable with Jonah and he nods his head in the direction of the door as though I should follow him. We approach the door and I realize that although he is fairly slender, my hips will not fit through the door, but also simultaneously that I am in my dreaming body and thus this is not important. I simply will my hips to be smaller and fit through the door and am able to climb through without any problem.
      He shows me a mold that he fills with metal and clamps shut. It presses the metal into a form that is much like a car bumper but more decorative - I am not aware of what this object is for. I know where I am.... this is home. This is a place we have lived together before, this place is "all time" and my heart swells that we have found each other in this place. We climb up on top of the kiln which has a vent and then a separate top platform that is warmed by the escaping heat. We lay on top and the kiln begins to rotate. The green of the trees is a blanket on the sky. He kisses my cheek and I smile and turn towards him.
      "We are healers." He smiles because he knows. I grab his hands. I look him in the eyes and try to feel all I'd like to express to him that don't have words." I push that energy through my hands and into his heart and his heart beat fills my ears - I can feel it through my hands and into my chest until I realize our hearts are beating the same.
      It seems like this knowledge kicks me into my own body and I awake.

      *notes*
      I started crying when I woke up for no reason - I wasn't sad at all but extremely happy. I love meeting this friend in my dreams, because we see so little of each other in person and have complications in our communication - perhaps because both of us spend a lot of time in a bit of a skewed reality. I was laughing and crying and laughing and crying. The place I went is where I would call home and so many times in this mad life I have said "I want to go home," and not known where I was speaking about.

      My gratitude to Jonah.

    11. Wave 72: DEILD Win

      by , 11-26-2010 at 11:23 PM (The Meerkat's Lair)
      What a great morning.

      Dream 1: This morning, they announced some verglas. My mom said I might have to take the bus if it was too bad. I wanted her to bring me to school. So I dreamed that I had to take the bus for school. The ride was actually great and peaceful though, I saw Tabatha but thats about it.

      Dream 2: For some reason, I am shopping with some of my friends at the mall. Those include Zeng, Nick and Julien. We are carying around about 4 big bags of stuff. Zeng is nice and carries all 4 of them. More then once, my mother walks past us. After a while, I decide to help and take 2 bags, but they are surprisingly heavy and I have to take a break. Outside, its very rainy. While all of my friends walk away, I remember the bags im carrying are Zeng's. I shout that to him but he tells me theyre mine. I look inside and see some of my stuff that my mother gave me apparently. I call my mom so she picks me up. But then I end up in my bus again. Its only after I ended up in the middle of the street for no reason that I noticed I was dreaming. I was like: Ok how the hell did I get here? Im dreaming for sure! I RC. As I start walking forward, I see a plastic bag on the floor. As I am going to pick it up, I think to myself: You know what, lets make it appear in my hand instead! I start focusing on my palm and see some white starting to pop up, but no success. My dream starts destabilizing. Damn, I think, must be cus I failed. Then this huge sound of a guy talking turns up. Shut up! I think. Fade out. Instantly, I DEILD back and start seeing a book wide open with a big red mark in the middle. I wake up 4 real. Best of all, there was no school today! School got canceled!

    12. Mermaid and Elvis

      by , 11-26-2010 at 10:08 PM (Dreams of random stuff)
      (Posted these to nightmares sub-forum before, this is pretty much the same than there).

      I don't actually count these as nightmares because I wasn't that afraid in them or so (not as much as in others anyway) but I did got attacked in them. Here is a couple of weird ones.


      Deam started with a mermaid that could transform to human and mermaid whenever it liked. This required "257 dances(?)" if I recall right. It jumped to sea and started doing whatever it did to turn to mermaid again, there happened very bizarre things which I don't remember much, and what I do remember is a bit embarrassing so I skip that... anyway!

      At some point it attacked me, with it's "cheese dragon". Don't ask me what that is, because I have no clue. I wake up and feel reliefed, but not so when I notice that there is a pile of cheese on the floor like someone would have took a big chunk of cheese and smashed it to floor. (It didn't look like cheese but for some reason I assumed it was.)

      I get out from some room and I am at some warehouse harbor, with some kind of warehouses only... It's abandoned and locked down, all gates are locked so I am stuck there. There are some guards however so I start telling them to let me out (Just then I noticed I was Mr. T), telling about cheese dragon when guard says: "You seriously think I don't know how serious this is? It killed my wife!" and he starts telling how it happened and all but I can't recall what he said. I think I woke up before he finished.



      This is from two nights back. Dream starts when I rummage in the room, kicking door in maybe, and tell some girl who is sitting on sofa to leave. She just stares there doing nothing. Next thing I remember is that I make some another guy in the room disappear by clapping my hands together once. No reaction from girl still. I leave the room.

      I am in a shop, buying some Mynthons, when shopkeeper gives me wrong kinds of them and then before I know it, I have bought it. I start saying that they sold me wrong kinds of Mynthons when shopkeeper discusses with another whether they sold give it free. "It's free" they tell me.

      "Oh, nice!" I reply. Suddenly out of nowhere that girl from before attacks me from behind (Except that it is zombified Elvis Presley, white jacket and black hair at least) and kills me in a few seconds, I barely have time to struggle. Then, when I am dead in front of it, it turns it's vision to me, as it was now in 3rd person and all (as in, it turned it's attention to me observing my dead body and it).

      It smiles and tells me "You're dead". I reply: "Yeah, but I am not dead in my dreams" and do some sort of punch and it, waking up.

      Comments:

      Elvis dream didn't seem that scary when I dreamed it, but when I woke up, I was quite scared... not sure why.

      Cookies and kids
      One of my last days on some very nice sunny city. It’s already end of the day and when passing a street I find this amazing bakery selling traditional pastry from this country/city. There is a lady baking the cookies on some open kitchen and selling them directly to the passer-by. Because these cookies are so famous, you have to get a numbered ticket and wait ages for your turn. I see my number and the amount of people waiting and I decide it’s not worth it, but then the baker tells all the other people to wait because she will take my order first. Really? Why? The other customers are not happy about it... It’s really hard to choose the best cakes and cookies so I ask for two of each, hoping they will still be ok in a few days when I get back home. Some cookies are still being baked and I have to wait a bit. Meanwhile I am allowed to enter the kitchen and I start talking to some ladies working there and I help them with some tiding up of the place. They have some old food in the fridge and I throw it away. Then they kick me out, because apparently they have to bake a huge load of cookies for a kid’s excursion next day.
      On the next day me and my BF join this excursion and help take care of the kids. We go in groups in vans and we stop at a parking lot in front of the ocean. The kids are being taken to the beach. For a brief moment I wonder how we got into this? I don’t feel like taking care of dozens of kids all day. I then have this underlying feeling that I’m not obliged to actually do it
      I’m half aware this is a dream - so I turn around to see what else is there to do. I see a green hill with a zig zag earthen path going up, flanked by Buddha’s statues of different sizes. I tell my BF “Let’s go there:”, but he won’t turn his back on the kids, because he doesn’t have this intuition it’s a dream. Divided between two dreams, I wake up.

      Buddha is a teenager in blue jeans
      At some bookshop I see a magazine, like Times, with a cover story on Tibetan Buddhism and it has pages and pages with amazing photos of teachers and famous practitioners and incredible Himalayan landscapes. I so want to buy it. On the cover it says £2, but I ask the cashier how much it costs in EUR. She tells me it’s 8000 something EUR and I LMAO. I ask “Are you nuts? It’s like 2.5 EUR.” And she replies that it’s not a simple conversion of prices, there are taxes and whatever. I still say “Are you aware of how much is 8000 EUR? Even if you’d say 8 EUR, it would be too expensive! Can you please just pass the mag under your bar code scanner to check the price?” But she says no and that she will call a colleague to ask. I’m about to give up. She comes back and tells me “If you come after 20h, when we’re closing, we can make a 50% discount on the mag, it would only cost 4000 EUR”. I say nevermind and start realizing this must be a dream.
      Then the store becomes a bus and I think “Hum, why don’t I just materialize a lot of cash to pay for the stupid mag, just for fun?”, so I visualize I put my hand in my pocket and come out with 10000 EUR in cash. There’s someone by my side, not sure if still the same lady, surprised that I can do that and I say “Oh yeah, it’s just dream money. How much do you want? Just say it and I’ll make it appear.” But then my pockets are also filled with crumbles from cookies and lots of dirt. I empty them to find out what more is there, but then realize I’m wasting my precious lucid time. As I walk to the front of the bus I throw everything on the floor – money, magazine, bag, even a coat and I feel so light. The bus driver doesn’t know what I want to do, I smile and I cross the windshield – he and other passengers freak out. I lift of and fly high to see where I am. I see a road ahead of me, flanked by houses, up above a beautiful blue sky, down below a sea or a lake to my left and green hills to my right. I see a gate for what seems to be an amazing property with a park and decide it’s a good place to sit and meditate. But when I arrive there I see families with noisy kids all around. Oh well, I’ll have to endure. I look for a green spot to sit, but then all of the ground is muddy and uninviting. I recall my need not to drift or feel discouraged. I focus on the Buddha. I don’t visualize the Buddha image, but I sense Buddha’s presence and hold on to it. Then I find a covered passageway between two houses and in the middle of it there’s an amazing tower-like covered veranda with a central low pedestal with a base to sit on which is perfect. I sit there and it has a view over the whole park and the sea in the distance. The sun is setting and beautiful golden shades reflect on the water. But I realise all this is also distraction and as I am getting lost on it, I feel myself waking up. I hold on to the dream and I slide back in. I try to visualize the Buddha, but it’s not working. I feel myself waking up again, but I still hold on and slide back in. This time in front of me is my black kitten hugging another yellow kitten and I find it extremely sweet, but remember I must stay focused. Not trying to visualize the Buddha anymore, I instead try to just feel the Buddha’s presence more strongly. I do and then imagine that this presence becomes a ball of light that enters my body through my crown chakra. I feel a very powerful effect, like a force field around my head. I start to hover, feeling this amazing radiant light coming out of my chest, but then I see again all these people on the park, playing ball and whatever and this slight distraction was enough to call it off. I start to wake up again but slide back in one last time. Now I try again to really see the Buddha, so I summon the Buddha and wish that he is there on my back when I turn around. I turn around and there’s this round faced oriental looking teenager, who looks just like a Buddha, but he is wearing jeans and a checkered shirt. He looks just like he is just another kid in the park, but very lonely. He looks bored and just sits on a tree log watching the others playing. I’m like “WTF? Not what I had in mind.” The sun is setting and people are then leaving the park. Some lady comes with a couple of other teenagers and tells them to keep the Buddha-boy company. They look extremely bored by that, they don’t feel like baby-sitting. But then the Buddha-boy tells them not to worry, because he won’t be any burden to them. He’ll either stay quiet if they want or just be as interesting as they want. The other kids feel bad for their first reaction, ‘cause they feel he is actually not that lame and they tell him they are actually not that cool to hang around either. Then the Buddha-boy says “Then I’m sure we’ll get along, ‘cause I am myself a dick.” And they all laugh. I watch them leaving and I wake up.

      by , 11-26-2010 at 07:01 PM
      I was a character with a group, we were defending a house from demons and zombies, i was the most powerful of the group. All of a sudden all of our power was gone and we had to run. I jumped over a zombie by stepping on him! We ran to a gate, but for some reason i had a bad feeling and went around. I saw 4 women in red dresses, they were very powerful vampires. and they massacred my team. i ran away and eventually found myself in a fortress. i decided to quit, because it was like a game. All of a sudden i found myself in the fortress with a new group. My friends were next to me playing them. there was 1 girl wizard, and some unknown character. we upgraded the girl by giving her some abilities, steel armor, and a armor upgrade, which gave her more armor. the armor was like a sexy armor from a anime show. we climbed this big pole that went to the top of the fortess. a giant man appeared and started attacking us. eventually we got to the top of the fortess, and we battled the giant. the girl used a spell amd froze the giant, i used a special sword attack to kill him. We then fled from the fortress, and ended up in the ocean. very soo, after we got rescued by a boat. end
