What a fun dream! I just had a dream I was in the future where war didn’t exists and neither did any form of violence. I do not know how I got there, but it started with a church service where I was in a dorm with the hunters and our family and we were getting ready for church. Later in the dream we went to this HUGE playground and I mean the biggest as in it was bigger than the resort and at a high height. I even found a door that said employees only and I opened it and it told me in a friendly voice to go to the front desk and claim a detention pass for detention. I didn’t go. Later I found out that this world is boring because you can only have fun and not make your own fun. Everyone lived the same life and that was not enough for me. I tried to find some history books or information on what happened but nobody from the future could help me. One guy was influenced by my words about the way things should be and tried to get me to talk to a higher authority and then I woke up.

All I can remember from this dream was searching for a Dodo in a cave/forest and in the cave were Mr. Freezes from Super Smash Bros Melee Iceclimbers games and they were on the side of the cave walls. Then I found the egg but I heard something so I went on and then heard the egg crack and then I go back to the egg and it is gone! So I follow the trail and just before I find the dodo I wake up.

Dream was like a video game so it was in third person a lot. Then me and dad went to an awesome knife shop and I got a samurai sword like the one I have but all red sheath and brand new for 30 dollars. Then the dream changed and I was flying like kid icarus and I did some stuff so that this queen owed me a favor and gave me something wrapped but I never got to see it. After that I was a biker who was then brought up to where they were and her assistant. Then I woke up during the best part of the whole dream LFS.

9/17/10
At a Church thing for people my age and then we went to my kindergarten and it had the mean teacher from matilda there. Then the nice teacher had a weird bug that looked like the monster that fought obi wan kenobi in starwars II in the arena, and it was riding on top of a turtle. Then it went inside of her mouth and she didn't notice and I was trying to tell her but it was too late... And then she said her throat was hurting and then she spit the bug and pieces of the turtle out. Then we went home to Grahmy's house but she wasn't there and their were roaches everywhere but when they got on you you couldn't feel them until you saw them on you. And I was chewing gum and spit it out to find that 4 roaches had some how got in my gum. What a gross dream...

9/12/10
Zombies again at a huge house courtyard with a big pond in the middle of it, and then a house job where I went and brought a blue car and a gray four wheeled dune-buggy thing on a trailer to the house for no reason and got worried that I would get caught so I tried to take it back but I forgot where I got it from and then we found out so we were driving in the neighborhood that looked like April Sound neighborhood I work at and found the spot but passed it up and then we did I drove through some construction site and then I finally got it back at the spot and left it there and ran back to the house. Then I woke up.

3rd person and we were aliens trying to blow up the milky way and it was like a video game. Then, I was with a bunch of other people my age and we were teamed up against some other team of people with a leader my age but with grown up henchmen with a base that was similar to my Grammy's neighborhood. We were playing on computers for a while then I was the only one their all of a sudden. And then the bad guys with their cat with alien green eyes took me prisoner and said I was to do as they say. Then a volcano erupted from an air strike I called in like on call of duty (3rd person) and it covered everything in lava. Then I went to a field not to far away and everyone is having a snowball fight and the events before are disregarded. Then I woke up.

Had 2 dreams last night that I remember. I wrote them down and don't really feel like re-typing them ATM. Sorry to be lame. I just want to keep a little online momentum going so I don't forget about this website. Cheers and good luck to you all as you dream tonight (or the next night, as your time zone permits).

Okay tonight I had two memorable dreams. I was trying to WILD before falling asleep, but screwed up and fell asleep.

Dream 1 'KFC'
Non Lucid, Fragment
I was working super late at KFC, cleaning up the restaurant, pretty much sweeping and mopping for what felt like hours. [I don't work there anymore, but I did for a few years] The only strange part was that my old manager, present employees, and gradeschool friends were also there. We pretty much just walked around, swept, and talked the whole time.

Dream 2 'Inception'
Non Lucid
[I watched Inception 2 weeks ago, and was trying to WILD before bed, which is probably what brought on such a strange dream] Okay, a little backstory behind this dream. Apparently in this dream, there are 8 levels of consiousness, each of which are destroyed after a set period. If the inhabitants of the planet don't move on to the next level, they die [or something] The destruction of each level was prophesied so we had some warning. [It had something to do with the position of planets and stars in the galaxy... or something] I arrived in some sort of conference with all the inhabitants (maybe 200 - 300 ppl) in an outdoor amphitheater of sorts. There were charts on the wall depicting the position of the stars, like nebulae clusters. The speaker was talking about how we all needed to travel to the next deeper phase [I sort of remember him saying dream, but not sure] Maybe it was some kind of matrix realm, Dunno. Anyway, We were being reminded that the time was near and if we didn't go deeper, we would die. When traveling to the next phase, one must go down this humongous inflatable slide (Maybe 150ft tall), at the same time as they descend planes consciously. Nobody was quite sure on how to travel to the next phase, and people were going down the slide, and just flying off the end, and getting injured because it was so tall. I was nervous about going down, and didn't want to go until I was sure I knew how to do it. I started asking around, and me this DC who was a compilation of several of my friends, and we began searching and asking around for clues on how to descend. Eventually we came up with some ideas, and just as we were discussing them, we approached the slide to see my dad at the top. I was worried for him because others went down and were injured because they didn't do it right, and didn't descend to the deeper phase. Well he hopped on the slide and started rocketing down, but when he got near the bottom there was this swirl of color and light [Like using the 'New-U' stations on Borderlands] and he was gone. I got really excited and ran up to the ladder, though I was still nervous. I hopped on, and started down. I can't remember exactly what I did, but whatever I did worked, and there was this huge swirl of color and light, and I woke up.

This was my first night at attempting to write in a dream journal and recalling my dreams. I'll continue to do so in the future, but it's getting late, and I'm sleepy. I'm gonna try another WILD tonight, and maybe dream about zombies or something. G'night all!

I'm beginning to think either I have a knack for pulling off DEILDs post LD, or I'm good at doing it within' my dreams. Either way, I'm not complaining, any way to lengthen an LD is okay with me.

Anywho, rather strange how easily I can believe that I am NOT dreaming sometimes when I do RC's in dreams. I suspect my subconscious or an unusually successful MILD came into play getting me lucid this morning, as the dream character next to me mentioned twice that I was dreaming. Actually, this lucid was the first time that the nose plug test worked as it should have in real life, at least at first, though in total, it took me 4 RCs (1 working nose, 2 failing nose, and one finger count.) to get me all lucid.

The dream itself was fairly unremarkable as far as lucids go, as I exhibited VERY little control over it. I tried many a time to change the dream scape to one of my choosing, and no amount of whirling seemed to change anything. It did, however, calm me down a bit.

At the time, however, my outside environment was... Less than tranquil. TV going, lawnmower outside blaring away, it's a surprise none of these elements bled into my dream.

Oh, of all the things I tried to do in my most recent lucid, I totally forgot to summon my sub again! Blargh! I could kick myself for forgetting that.

The only remarkable thing I tried was willing a doorway to rise from the ground. Sadly did not work. I did exhibit anchoring finally within' my dream, and really got to feel the tactile realism within' the dream for the first time I can recall. (Well, at least more prominent this time than others.)

Like I said, the dreams themselves were quite mundane. First was simply at my house, furniture was re-arranged, my sister and a good friend of mine was there, my dog makes his second appearance since I've started my dream journal. It didn't last long before I slipped into almost awakedness. This was when I DEILD back in, again, failing to get the dreamscape I envisioned.

Second was some manner of forest, I spent a good amount of time trying to get someplace else (Some place more familiar in which to experiment.) but several whirl attempts and the aforementioned door summoning all proved useless. I eventually gave up and just explored a bit. At one point I was slipping into the void (A black spot in the center of my vision.), but managed to stave it off with hands stare and a spin. (Done correctly for a change.)

After that, a bear attacked me and bit my thumb. I basically hug it into docility and asked it what it represented. It responded with, and I kid you not, "Heck if I know, I'm just a bear!" in a very dopey voice.

Anyway, while mundane as far as my LDs go, it DOES mark the first one that has taken place outdoors for a decent amount of time. But a lot of missed opportunities. =( I guess I need to read up more on dream control.

Raven what?

I was with Raven and kaomea somewhere. We were telling Raven how me and kaomea would be nowhere without having Raven as a friend or something.

Vex Kitten is smitten

Some vague dream where Vex Kitten had a crush on me. LOL. I said, "You had your chance ha!"

Royal Family WTF and lucid

I was riding a bike in some rich neighborhood when I spotted The Queen of England, Prince Charles and the giant teacup guy from Alice In Wonderland. I sat down nonchalontly and asked the queen if she has ever actually eaten at a picnic table like this before. She said she usually doesn't sink so low. I said the only reason she's eating here is because the houses look super rich, If you want a real picnic go to a more poor looking playground and eat there.

FA, Get out of bed and RC. I'm in some room that I recognize. Everything is made of brown paneling. I go to a door and think "Asuka" I open it but it leads to a short 3 ft hallway with another door. I start calling for Asuka aloud over and over. I try then next door but it appears to be locked, but somehow i manage to open it. I come to a living room yelling "Asuka, asuka." but no one seems to be in the house and the dream fades quick.

After I read kaomea's dream I realize this was probably the time that they were together looking for something.

Peanut Butter Sammy

I was hanging with two people that I wasn't really familiar about and hen I commented about how awkward it is to hang out with people that you don't know. I then made fun of one guy who was eating a peanut butter jelly sandwich.

Synopsis: Lots of weird dreams. A haunted bathroom. A conspiracy, a strange world just for zoo creatures. The ocean, and mutants for hire.

Note: I'm back on my dolphin dream mantra and more determined than ever! Although I didn't accomplish my goal, my dream last night included a strong dream sign. The lights didn't work. Later, an ocean appears in my dream.

Haunted Bathroom
I'm standing in front of the bathroom door, scared because of how dark it is. The set up of my home is completely wonky, like it's a mirror image of my home, were everything feels like on the opposite side.

I notice something stirring. A plastic bottle from the darkness of the bathroom starts walking towards me! There are other people in the hallway, just chatting, and they don't seem to notice. The haunted plastic bottle then slides right under me. Startled I jump.

"Did you see that! Did you see that!"

The man next to me scratches his head. "Well I saw it slide on its own. Weird."

"It did more than that. It was walking!"

I needed to go in the restroom, but now I'm too scared. The young man, being a gentleman, checks out the bathroom for me. He tries to turn on the light - but it doesn't work!

I think for a moment 'how strange? I wonder if this is a dream.'. But I don't follow through with the reality check and the dream sign goes over my head. When he can't get the lights to work, I quickly grab my contacts and toothbrush before something else freakish happens.

I go to the bathroom in my bedroom instead, which was full of random girls doing girly things. But now the lights here are flickering!

"Oh no, not again!"

I can hear something moving and stirring about in my room. It would have been more creepy, if I were alone. We simply waited out the haunted night, with lights flickering, and random objects moving. I woke up, and only dreamed I wrote in my dream journal

Small Town Small Zoo
I'm in a small town, where the college is the center of everything. It's got that small town - you - know - everybody kind of feel. And the teachers are sorta the leaders here. After walking to the boondocks to reach my classroom, I discover a conspiracy taking place behind the portable!

I don't remember what it was anymore. But it had something to do with an old man wearing a disguise. The old man wearing the disguise was under cover. He told me about the conspiracy, and led me to the back door of the small town. Tucked away in a shopping district.

It was very important that me and my friends escaped behind this door, because this conspiracy involved us!

When we ran through the other side we entered a ripe green world. Lush valleys and tall mountains. But it didn't turn out to be what I thought it would be. Everything was fake here, like man made. Man made mountains. Man made valleys. Man made rivers, even a man made ocean and beach! The native inhabitants, which we become, were otter people.

It was like the entire world was a zoo, and the humans were servants that waited on us! Despite the fake zoo like feeling, we were happy that at least in this world, we otter people rule, and we were free to do as we pleased. Even the picnic benches were extra small to fit our unique size.

Everything was peachy until the bad people from the small town found us! Then we tried to run away, swimming through pools on the way. I woke up after, and fell asleep before I even lifted my pencil.

Mutants for Hire
I don't think I really fell asleep. More like, I was half awake for this dream. It had something to do with mutants, teenagers and misfits who didn't fit in. They banded together, especially since society deemed them monsters. A mafia man hired them. Having no other way to obtain an income, they worked for him.

But really, I thought of the mutants too special to lower themselves to the likes of the mafia!

I woke up after and stayed lightly day-dreaming of the winged mutants and their flights

I decided to journal today after all. ^.^

War Games (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







Dream: Lone Warrior

★★☆☆☆

Romping through MM, I notice a thread devoted to a site-wide forum game. It's a risk-esque game of sorts, where players build armies based on their dream lives and then battle each other for territory. I'm amused by the fact Walms doesn't have an army, but still has stats rivaling some of the better players. On a trip to the mall, I keep myself updated on the happenings of the game, and eventually join in the fun.

Dream: Civ Dev

★★★☆☆

Once again, I'm in MTB's apartment. This time, however, we're alone. Letting myself into his room, I discover he's working on an RTS game based on the board game a friend of mine had helped put together for one of his classes. The design is simple enough. Each player starts with a single town on a gridded map and takes turns working toward conquering the opposing player's town through economic or military might. Very Civ. He's starts up a test game and walks me through what he's doing. Very quickly, he builds up a formidable city while the computer player lags behind. Secretly, I make a note that the AI needs work.

As the game progresses, MTB is clearly winning, and I'm starting to better understand the game's dynamics. In a few turns, it's clear the AI is trying for an assault. I suggest MTB make use of his navy to take out the nearest enemy regiment. But my suggestion proves fatal, as the AI had been spending all its resources making ridiculously powerful infantry which quickly wipes out MTB's fleet. Meanwhile a southern contingent literally walks into MTB's city, takes the town center, and wins the game. Maybe the AI is better at this than I thought. MTB is not amused.

Dream: Alpha Meat

★★★☆☆

We're in agreement, CTB and I. On principle, all Zeds should attack people carrying Alpha Troopers on sight. So here I find myself, thirty minutes before safe-hour, outside the dining hall, with an Alpha Trooper. I know CTB is mocking me from his room as I stride carelessly about, girlfriend in tow. The first zombie that spots me seems dejected, and just stands there as I take my shot. Soft, orange foam from my bright yellow toy spurts out the muzzle and flies awkwardly to the left, wide of my target. Always prepared for misses, I pull back on the pump-action grip to prime the blaster, but then unthinkable happens.

I screw up; my hand flies wildly off the smooth plastic grip, leaving the blaster in a half-primed limbo. My foe is as surprised as I am, but is smart enough to lunge at me. Just like that, I'm dead. But I shouldn't be. That should never have happened. Defiantly, I reverse time, back to the point where I first encountered the Zed. Things play out differently this time, and I unload two quick, successive shots into his chest using slam-fire. Looking behind me, I spot another Zed and do the same to him. All in all, I stun five zombies before making my way into the D-Hall; my girlfriend got one, too. She had run up to the last Zed in the area and pressed her NF into his chest, pulling the trigger, putting him out of the game for fifteen minutes.

Once inside, I swipe in and grab myself a large chocolate chip cookie, taking a seat next to some other HvZers I don't really know. One of them has their Alpha Trooper opened up on the table. Taking a look, I notice how hefty the spring is. Clearly modified. He closes it up in due time, well before the mission, and I get to see what he's done to the shell. The most prominent feature is a six-inch bowie knife on the top that seems to be a little loose, attached partially by rubber bands. He could seriously hurt someone with that. . .

I was in the backseat of the car, and we were traveling to the grandparent's house in Arkansas. For once we got there in daytime, and their house looked really strange. It was pastel colors but the length of the house kept continually changing.

I went inside the house, and decided that I would put my bags in the empty room down the hall. There wasn't anything in the room except a dim light and an old dresser. The walls were painted red. I stood in the room for a moment, and felt as if something malevolent was in the room with me. Looking at the red wall, I suddenly saw a shadow that wasn't mine. I turned around, but no one was there.

I decided to teach my little cousin how to drive (He is only 11 IRL, but he was older in the dream). He was doing naturally well, and so we drove to Walgreen's. It was night time now. I got out of the car and suddenly couldn't control my consciousness. My POV/consciousness flew out of my body and I was suspended about 30 feet into the air, watching myself from above. While I was out of body, something took ahold of my body.

The entity began to attack my little cousin, and I finally made it back into my body. I rushed my dieing cousin back home and carried his body into the red painted room.

Somehow I knew that there was an astral sword going through his abdomen. I grabbed the invisible sword, able to feel it, and slowly lifted it out of him while I breathed my energy into his body. Breathing my energy into him felt like inhaling cold air, but yet exhaling. I whispered to him that I wouldn't let him die, not now not ever. The shadow beings were watching in the dim light as I removed the sword from him. They seemed to be feeding off of the scene.

Ugh. Emergency at work at 2am. Spoiled the night for me. I recalled some dreams but didn't write them down. Some fragments from memory:

fragment
In a store in a mall. It's arranged like a jewelry store but it just sells random knick-knacks. I'm waiting for the saleswoman to help me but she doesn't notice me. I think I want to by a chess set that reminds me of one I had in childhood.

fragment
With father in a mall. Looking for a restaurant?
