All DJ Entries

remember climbing this tree but it was so big it was like traveling threw a jungle and once i got to the top it was like an acid trip!

I've stopped smoking recently and its made me have lucid dreams for the last 2 months, I need to record them because I think there is more to them then just a random sequence of thoughts in my subconscious mind. What, why, where and how - I don't know but I think its deeper than that for me.

I keep dreaming about oceans or lakes or swimming pools. I had one yesterday in which I swam, I never dream of swimming maybe its because I don't know how to in real life. I've dreamt I've drowned a few times before....but what surprises me I always thought someone in the situation would panic. I seem so calm in these but I feel like I am calling for help and no voice comes out of my mouth. And then I cant breathe.

Most of my dreams are nonsensical pieces of my life sown together in non sequential almost nonsensical pieces. After all whose dreams are not?

If you can be bothered reading this all the way to the bottom, I will be impressed. It does contain at least 3 dreams from one sleep in a single sitting. Continue at your own peril!

Notes Normal Dream Lucid Dream

For the past week my recall has been terrible, with me only remembering a couple of fragments. This morning I woke up and started thinking through a dream - still half asleep. Suddenly I realised, "I should be writing this down!" So I hurriedly turned over and started writing. Part of the dream was lost, the part I was thinking about before I started to write it down.

First (?) part of dream was forgotten, but I recall entering a dark building. I was sure that I wasnt myself at this point, like I was inhabiting someone else's body. It was an orphanage, and I had the distinct feeling it was where I had grown up. Moving through the building, I found no-one about. Dumping my stuff (when did I get it?) in a room, I moved to another corridor and there was a guy who I knew in real life. Wearing nothing but a very short towel. Not being gay, this was not exactly a particularly pleasant thing for me to witness. "You must be looking for [his mother], here follow me." He led me to the reception (of sorts) and I knew that there was another part of the building behind it, that I didnt get to see. I was taken to a room, "Terga 4" (definitely saw that written down) which incidentally was the exact room I had dumped my stuff, and also grown up in (the person I was inhabiting)

Dream Change

Cutting grass in my current High School, although it seemed slightly different. I couldnt place why exactly in this dream. In any case, I had finished cutting two portions of the grass, and was just about to start the third when I was informed it was military property, and was as such dangerous. WTF? I moved outside the school, along a path. There was a box which provided electrical current to some wires, one along the first portion of the road, two along the second. I reached the start of the second portion the first time I walked along it, being led by a friend. The second time along, I was the one who was leading, and I'm sure we were being followed by a couple of idiots. At some point along the path I touched a wire to see if it was live It was before telling the others not to touch them. For some reason we walked on the part of the road that was narrower, on the grassy bank to the right hand side. When we got to the end of this road, there was a house.

It was dark, or at least stormy, with an illuminated house opposite us, atop some cliffs. A river went by in front of us, making a bridge lower down the only viable way across. Luckily there was an elevator for us (me + several others) to go down. We had almost all managed to fit into the elevator, only two people were not in it with us. As we started to go down, the idiots who had followed us arrived. We touched the ground below, and the idiots cut the rope that would have allowed the other two to get down. Interestingly enough, I predicted this would happen.

We had to get across the river, and once again I predicted what would happen next. The bridge broke. Luckily we were carrying the wooden elevator floor with us, and this allowed us to float. Unfortunately, I somehow fell over the edge and got trapped between a submerged post and the current of the river. Next thing I knew, I was floating near the house, and I remember a distinct feeling of WTF? How the hell did I get over here? I could hear the two friends who had been stranded up on the other side of the river, but not the friends who were actually in the river.

Dream Transition, like a scene change in a movie.

I was back at the first part I wrote about, but there were two changes: I was younger, and I definitely was myself instead of inhabiting another person. Were the two above parts of the dream linked? It would appear so, because there in the distance was the house, but it was daytime. Riding a tricycle, alongside a girl. We were both of about 7 or 8 years old at this time. Of all the parts I've talked about, this is the most difficult to remember. Things were fuzzier, more indistinct. I have no idea who the girl was, and I dont get the feeling that the major part I forgot explained who she was. All I know was that we were playing, and suddenly, she wasnt there. I asked no-one in particular, possibly my brain, what had happened to her.

She had died.

I suppose I knew already, but subconsciously. I think she died of cancer, although what variety wasnt explained. It was very sad, because it was like a childhood friend had died, and I didnt quite understand why.

Dream Change

Sitting down in the shower room, for some reason I put my thumbs on my nostrils. Breathing in still worked. Why? Had I not covered them properly? I tried again, sticking them right in, blocking my nasal passages completely, and yet I could still breathe in and out. With a sudden realisation, I was lucid dreaming! This was only the second time I could ever remember going lucid, and the first time with a conscious reality check, (albeit one I have never used before) and this made me pretty pleased. Feeling incredibly pleased, I sat for a few moments, relishing in the feeling of awareness. I was by this time quite tired of dreaming, I doubt I could have taken much more, so it was quite a relief when I woke up.

Im completely happy with the Lucid lasting only a few moments, because it has happened only once before. My goal now is to have a longer lucid dream, where I explore being aware.

Is this my Dream Journal?
Is it?
Is this a dream?
Will this dream journal post be here if I wake up?
We will see!

I don't know where this dream started, but I remember being in a war torn city, and even old people carried weapons. There was this one in particular who was firing off a machine gun from behind a construction road block. I don't know what she was killing or aiming at because I was heading in the other direction.

I picked up a stick and by the time she stopped firing and I asked her where to go next. Two areas look like they lead to more rural areas. The lady said one direction lead back to where we came from, with a bitter voice. She then said another leads to the forest but there are tons of zombies there, and I wouldn't last a second. She pointed to the last path which was apparantly the safest, and told me I'm stilling going to die, but I should try that one. At this point I had the feeling I was dreaming, but I wasn't sure. I headed towards the general direction of the two paths, and there were people standing in a wrap around line. All of them were going to take the safe path. Some group of people were heckling the stick I was holding, and once again they were telling me I wasn't going to live. While trying to keep the suspicions of the dream low, I hopped out of that line and headed off in the the dangerous forest. I wanted to kill some stuff.

scene change? gap in recall?

I'm down the street from my house, (lucid) and some DC is just being annoying. He's all in my face, talking crap over and over. Finally I started body slamming the guy. It was like picking up a pillow case. Each time, the guy got up again, and kept on harassing me. I decided to end it. I grabbed him by the back of his head and shoved his face into the ground. The ground turned into sand and it was smothering him. I watched his arms and legs struggle for a while and stop moving. I let go, and the DC got up again, but he was headless. I sighed, and walked off...ignoring him. I threw a portal on the ground and jumped inside.

scene change.

I'm viewing a wire frame roller coaster. And I'm placing all the parts where everything is going to be, and then my POV is actually on the roller coaster, but the dream fades.

I remember Cacaphony and J were at my house. She hopped on my computer and was complaining about how IRC was black in white. I told her to click MIRC and she should be able to see the difference. J was was in the kitchen talking to some guy....about something...like the guy needed something from him...money or whatever.

FA I'm on the phone talking to J about the dream.

My computer is so slow! I can't do anything on it! And now that school's started, I only go to my grandma's once a week (she has the faster internet that I use), and sometimes only once every two weeks! So when I can finally write here, there's so many dreams I have to put... I think I'll just only go into detail on the better ones.

~Lucid~ I was walking around school, trying to find TG, and saw this guy in a gray sweatshit. I went up to him and started asking if he could help me find someone. He told me that I could do it myself. Not in a rude way, though. I started walking around again. Tiger appeared after a while and he helped me. Towards the end we went into the cafeteria and I was playing with all the lights and Tiger was messing around with stuff backstage. (The cafeteria at my school has a big stage for plays and concerts and such.)

~Just from last night: I was someone else in this dream. There were these birds, and they glowed. There was a pink one, a white one, and a gold one. I could turn into a blue one. There was some storyline to it, but I already forget what exactly it was. I really, really liked this dream, though. It was... intense.

~Zim (Invader Zim) was on some kind of ship. He had a little sister. She looked like him, only smaller, and she had pink eyes and a pink bow on her head. And a teddy bear. Zim set up a hologram type thing to hide himself while he wrecked something.

~Searching in some big store.

~In my bedroom, then a ghost-type thing almost attacks me and I freak out and wake up.

~Going to school and forgetting all my stuff.

~~~~More, but I have to leave now.

Purple Ligers (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The dream starts, I am standing in my front yard, okay I'm dreaming now. I jump up and float maby I should stabilize first or should I just stabilize in the air. The moon is visible and its still day time and I decided to fly to the moon and forgot my more important goals. I decided to stabilize in the air so I felt my clothing. I started flying up but not at a satisfying enough angle. I looked down over the neighborhood and saw a huge purple liger like creature. It was nearly exaclty like those giant cat things from star wars except purple.

It looked up and lept at me and just barley missed. Wow those things can jump high. I kept flying higher and saw another liger which was even bigger. It jumped and I dodged it just in time. When it jumped again I held it with telekinesis and flung it away. It hit hard but was much more aggressive than its brother. It kept leaping at me and I kept trying to fly higher. I saw some power lines so I grabbed the liger again with telekinesis and flung it into the power lines. It was electrocuted rather spectacularly and fell to the ground but still kept coming. ( i now realized I didn't really try hard enough to imagine it dieing so I just subconsciously let it be invincible ) It attacked and pushed me into the wires. I saw electricity flow around me but it didn't hurt, this is a dream plus I can use pretty good electrokinesis. I picked up the liger again with tk and threw it this time to the horizon. I landed on a billboard and almost lost lucidity climbing around on it. I saw some people talking in a park and fell victim to my only true weakness.

No recall in the first half of the night on account of alcohol. Woke up and was anxious about stuff. Wrote in my journal for a while and watched a movie. Went back to bed, tried to WILD for about an hour. Got really close but eventually gave up. Turned on my side and spent another hour trying to sleep.

1028: D. My eyes are closed and I'm listening to Lance talk. He says, "Sumit isn't taking the union very seriously." I mutter something about not caring. He continues, "What, you don't support the trinity in India?"

I open my eyes. I'm lying on a bed in what looks like a college dorm room with a couple other beds and furniture. There's a window behind me with morning sunlight shining dimly through. The door is at the far end of the room. I don't see anyone. I'm lying on my stomach, propped up on my elbows. I think about what Lance said. What union? What is this "trinity" he's talking about? How did we get on this topic of conversation? Wait, how did I get here? Wasn't I just trying to sleep? I think I'm dreaming.

I think to do a nose plug but my arms don't move. Hmm, strange. I look down at my hands and intent to to rub them. My arms are paralyzed! They are stiff with my wrists together as if in handcuffs. My fingers are interlocked. With great effort I think I manage to barely wiggle a finger. I panic. Dreams starts to fade. Damn it, no! My mind scrambles. As my view goes black I manage to yell "Stabilize!". But it's too late. End.

On waking up, I was lying on my side. I noticed this as unusual because I almost always wake up on my back. I had one arm under the pillow and the other pinned under my body. It seems plausible that the position of my real body was affecting my dream body. I remained still for several seconds, hoping to re-enter. But I could feel I was too awake because I was upset about the botched dream.

I am the son of a King. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I finally had a night where I could rest. However, every time I woke up I felt very lazy, I have not been so tired since a lot of time. Two dreams, missed lucidity a couple times on the second one.

Second

I was with a group of people like in a mall and we were planning to go to like a castle. We were inside a warehouse (inside the mall) and there were boxes around. The lighting was not very bright, but I could see well. I was going to stay around, but I felt that I had to go as well.

A made up dad approached at me and told me I had to go to my Castle. I was wondering what was going on and he told me that we needed to meet there. He was the King of the castle. I wore regular casual clothes and my dad advised me to dress like a prince I was. We exited the warehouse and we walked through the mall. A guy tried to abduct me and my dad said, "Yeah, Mark, yeah! There is a lot of security here, you will not be able." He laughed.

I stopped by some books and when I was going to read them, my dad grabbed them and moved them making new books. I was able to read different messages on the side of the books.

My dad told me he had to go to the castle first and I had to go own my own. I did not like that idea, specially with abducters around, but I recalled the way to the castle was all straight and there was a lot of people, so I did not complained.

We grabbed an elevator to go to a basement room. The elevator was small, however, the funny fact that the elevator worked perfectly in the dream. I did not have flaws. While I was talking with my dad, I looked at my hands. I stared at the for a while. I had some sort of "lucid" feeling (I recalled within the dream the feeling I have when I turn lucid) but my hands looked perfectly OK. My dad asked what was I doing and I told him I liked to Reality Check whenever I was inside an elevator just in case. He did not ask further questions as the elevator stopped and opened.

The basement was dark and I saw like a small jail. I found the prince clothes so I started to change. When I was all done, I was about to leave. The room was big, full of boxes and old stuff, and I could see the street outside. As soon as I started to walk, someone placed his hand on my shoulder. I turned and it was the abductor. He smiled and claimed I was going to give him a lot of money. I was worried I was going to be placed inside that small jail. I started to ask for help, however, I did not feel scared. I tried to fight him until I saw a guy who looked like my dad. I told him, "Help!! Mark is abducting me!!" But the other guy was an abductor too. I tried to walk but they were grabbing me, however, I was still stronger than them. I was able to reach the street (which was about 40 feet from where we where. I screamed for help in the street, however, all the DC walking in the streets ignored me. I woke up.

Missed Dream Signs:
- I was the son of a King.
- The scenario with the books was odd.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Talk to the abducter and ask him why his is threatening me.

Electric Guitar Solo (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I finally had a night where I could rest. However, every time I woke up I felt very lazy, I have not been so tired since a lot of time. Two dreams, missed lucidity a couple times on the second one.

First:

I was walking around a hotel I planned to stay and I saw a pool that was 8'2'' deep. I was excited because I finally found a deep pool. It was warm and sunny and I wanted to take a bath.

I had to go somewhere else but I planned to go to the pool tomorrow. I pulled my cards from somewhere and my Black Lotus looked odd. It was foil (which is impossible, old cards were not foil) and it had a total different art.

I was able to play an electric guitar. A guy owned a place and showed me a song of his. There were also a few instruments that were levitating and playing alone. He told me that the musicians were Astral Projecting so I could not see them.

I played an awesome solo with the electric guitar and people who was around loved it. The owner of the place got jealous and kicked all the public out. When everybody was gone, he unplugged my guitar and kicked me out as well.

The guitar hard some pre-recorded songs inside, odd songs.

I am a demon in Hell being tortured by angels.

Raven and Angel comes as archangels and rescue me.

There is a huge battle with demons and angels on both sides. I absorb the demons.

Raven and Angel absorb the angels.

There are three orbs fighting.

It's the three of us.

So I remember 3 dreams.

1. I remember me and a friend were going up a mountain to save a princess. I was going slightly faster than my friends and I ran into a dragon. A VERY BIG DRAGON. So I ended up killing it by myself. And we went up the mountain,and as we got to the village on top,it started raining. There was a crashed airplane (it was an old one) so I got into it to avoid the rain. Then I was talking to another friend (I think over the phone) and he was depressed,I don't remember why. So as the rain lightened I got out of the airplane and went into one of the buildings where everyone was. I don't remember what happened next but then we were at a party with the princess. During the party some big dude captured the princess,so we followed him back to his house. (horrible hiding spot really) And saved the princess again,by killing him. After that the dream kinda changed,I was in the same village but it was at night,and I was the batman. But I was out of costume. As I was walking to my house,I was trying to find a way to sneak in past the butler,then I saw someone in MY batman costume! So I chased after him,tackled him,and took off the mask to find out that it was the butler.
After that the dream ended.

2.I was in a car with my mom and we went to look at this karate studio in town...and that's all I remember.

3.
I was with some friends hiking up this mountain,right before we reached the top. When we got to the top,I looked down and saw it was the Grand Canyon. For a second I wondered how I got to the Grand Canyon,I mean it's like hundreds of miles away from where I live. Then I didn't really care because it was awesome. So me and my friends hiked along the top to the parts where it was deepest and looked down. I layed down and peeked over the edge and couldn't see the bottom. We talked about how deep it was and then I saw 4 rocks,in a group,all fly up at the same time at me. I barely pulled my head away it time,and of course my friends joked about it. Then we went along to this cave on the mountain,where these 2 police officers were showing a video. It might of been some kinda safety thing,I dunno. Then this other guy who was the karate teacher from before was there,and said "anyone who wants me to keep teaching come up and hug me" and like,right away one kid jumped up and hugged him. Then another kid,after an awkward silence. Then we was all upset and went berserk,and left. Then me and a friend (the others were gone) were trying to find a way off the mountain,because it had suddenly become an island cave. We tried going to the edges of the island,but there was ocean,and we called for the police several times but they didn't come so I went back up to the cave to try to find them,and they were shooting at something. I turned to look and they were shooting at these sand people things,that came out of the walls. I shot one,because I suddenly had a pistol out of nowhere,then left back to the edge of the island. Not knowing was to do. There were these weird things popping out of the ground,and then the dream ended.

4.
I was in some kind of futuristic setting. I was trying to get to a nuclear factory in town before the protesting workers burned it down. So I ran for it,but there were enemies shooting at me. I got past them and continued to the factory. When I got there it suddenly changed to me heading to this group of people for a speech or something. I was suddenly in a tux,and went with them.
Then the dream kind of started over,but this time I had to make sure that they DID burn down the factory. Same thing happened all the way to the building. And suddenly it's that group I'm supposed to be in for the speech thing again. But instead of wearing a nice tux,I was in some kinda ugly jacket. So as we were walking on stage my arms were crossed to cover it,and an emblem on it.

And that's all I remember.

I am outside walking down the street at night.

What a weird dream... so mundane. Oh, wait this is a dream!

OK... STOP.

Relax, don't go crazy flying or anything. Stay in the dream. Don't wake up.

What should I do?

Go to the Moon!

Ok... close my eyes and then... no! I'll wake up.

Ok, fly to the Moon! Shit. Where is it? Only stars in the sky.

Ok, close my eyes, and imagine the Moon... don't wake up. Open my eyes...

I awake.

DAMMIT.

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

I am doing this straight from my memory, with no assistance from my physical DJ. I am hoping this can improve my recall. My dream also fades out at one point because not much action is occurring. I would also like to warn you that anywhere dark as or darker than a shadow in a dream gets me nervous in the dream, usually causing a nightmare, which almost got out of control today.

The dream started out slow. I was in a dark computer lab trying to solve a brain-buster on an unfamiliar website with my PE teacher. When I FINALLY figured it out, I got to leave. When I exited the lab I was outside my home at night. Very creepy. I got in the van that was parked on the street next to my house to find my mom, dad, and brother in the vehicle. I got in the passenger seat, and we drove onto the road. There were no buildings at all, and it was nearly impossible to see anything out the van. There was no starlight or moonlight. Finally, we passed by an odd building, with only a flickering green light to mark it's presence. There was another odd and almost invisible building, where we promptly parked our car. As we entered the building, Laser light shows were creating odd patterns, like the ones created in the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch App, Uzu.



As we walked in the first door we could find, there wasn't much action happening except walking at the moment so the dream faded out. I remember entering and observing various rooms with my family, and seeing our tenant, W. As soon as the dream got clearer, I was walking into a bathroom. I saw a human-like figure hunched over in a towel. I got nervous, since this house has no inhabitants at the time, and he could be... dead. I took a tool (possibly a stick or pole) and whacked the towel off, only to reveal two large dolls put an an odd position. I threw them aside in disgust, and as I left the bathroom, I found myself in my parents' master bedroom. My brother was by the cabinet by the exit door. I said "Hey!", and he promptly fell over and started seizing. He morphed into this zombie-like thing and picked my up by the legs. At that point, I went into third-person view and started thinking, 'This must be a dream...' Now lucid, I kicked my brother away and ran out the bedroom. I walked into the hallway with my mom. As we were walking out, I tried to summon a sword, but I wasn't loud enough, so a half-sword was summoned instead. I was like, oh well (I wanted to teleport somewhere to practice my fighting). I walked into the library, where my mom was showing me something that I can't exactly remember. It was some kind of can or something. I woke up because the dream was too boring.

EDIT:Whoops, forgot notes.
Notes:
Vividness: 5/10 (Wayyyy too dark.)
Lucidity Peak: 3/10 (Did pretty much nothing.)
