    1. 17-12-27 Marrying Führer's Daughter, Gravity Jumps

      by , 01-01-2018 at 04:36 PM
      I was sitting at a table with four other people. Two of them were my friends, one old man (70+) and a younger guy my age. The others was the current Führer of the Third Reich, which was a middle-aged woman (I guess this was some kind of alternate 2017 in which Germany won the war), and her daughter who was my age. The daughter was pure evil. I think me and my friends were taken prisoner. The daughter was interrogating us. She was really, really evil. And crazy. Like one of those stereotypical comic book villainesses. She was hiding a gun under her clothes, and because I didn't answer one of her questions, she shot the older man in the head. Obviously killing him instantly. She aimed her gun at me, and I could pretty much look into the barrel. It took a lot of nerve to keep my composure, knowing one wrong word and she'd shoot me. She suggested I had inferior blood. I conviced her my grandmother was born in Germany and served in the Hitlerjügend (she did). I think she was satisfied I'd given her what she wanted. She became really seductive at some point, and appeared to be coming onto me (but all in a really 'acted' and insane way). Suddenly, she kissed me. I didn't resist, as quite frankly she was really attractive (and my life depended on it). She 'asked' me to marry her. It wasn't a question. I think she just wanted me as her pet. I said yes, knowing I'd stay alive at least, and I'd be really close to someone who would one day inherit control of the Reich. In a later scene, I could see myself sitting in a leather couch in the family mansion. I was wearing my black shirt with white stripes.

      Notes of this dream say "kind of massage", but not entirely sure what it means. I think it happened in a really strange place. A large open space covered in perfectly still water (no waves), and with floating "platforms" in it. I was doing "gravity jumps" between them, using the reduced gravity of the dream to do backflips and sideflips and stuff. Trying to impress my former classmates who were sitting on other platforms nearby. At some point we jokingly jumped into each other for laughs.

    2. picnic at purple pie lake

      by , 01-01-2018 at 12:21 PM
      On a stretch of land, partly rocky but flat, a path of sorts. Having a picnic stuff is strewn over the mishapen rocky ground. Some else is there when suddenly the lake to the right spews out (errupts) a jet of bright purple liquid with a foamy spray. It continues and threatens to engulf the area we are picnicking on (strangely the rest of the lake is mustard yellow). Then strange animals start to appear fleeing the area it appears as they do not attack us. A big wolf like a great moving shadow, totally black followed by others and then a giant beard man, again in black.

      Next i'm at school using a fancy computer, it comes with a little electronic gizmo with a little raised metal button on it. Charleen is very impressed that I have one of my own. I am able to send things to a kind of printer, I send an awesome apple pie and custard and go to get it. I find a restaurant where it should have arrived but its not there. One of the people there says they don't like pie. I leave wondering where it could have gone too or if someone ate it. I have a look around and find double doors and a section of the building that is off limits. I head off down a corridor and use my powers to break through. I come out in a high ceilinged sports hall where there are loads of people in a line below a giant high net, playing some form of tennis/squash. I make a racket which is incredibly long with a tiny end, as there are so many plays this is the shape that may be able to get past them. I easily intercept the ball.

    3. Sunflower Sun and Walking on Water

      by , 01-01-2018 at 07:01 AM
      Dream #NYMA54

      Morning of January 1, 2018. Monday.

      Reading time: 48 sec. Readability score: 63.



      The fireworks from last night have left vibrant colors remaining in the clouds at dawn, mostly orange and yellow “embers.” I am wondering how long these residual dynamics will last; perhaps another day.

      I approach the sun on the horizon. The “horizon” is suddenly in front of me. It is then not the sun. It is a big yellow sunflower. Its petals feel like the cloth of my pillowcase (lucid awareness of being asleep). (The color yellow correlates with the emerging consciousness process of the dream state. As a result, it can be deliberately used to induce or enhance lucidity.)

      I walk on water, of unknown depth, back to our bedroom to wake for the day. The surface of the water replaces the level of the ground in our backyard; there is no implication of a flood. (These two factors have occurred regularly in my dreams for over fifty years. They are a result of being in the dream state. There is no meaning other than reactive representation in the dream state.)



      It is a first-level “return to bed” dream that also includes the daybreak representation, yellow as emerging consciousness, and most of my conscious self identity with no emergent consciousness simulacrum.


    4. 17-12-29 Ilia's Secret Lab, Hydromancy (Splitting Water)

      by , 01-01-2018 at 05:19 AM
      I'm in a large warehouse-like space, but dressed up for people to live in. I knew this was where Ilia S. lived (an Israeli scientist active in the life extension community). I remembered being there before, but it was a complete mess that time. It still was, but less so. There were large bookcases, and books laying around everywhere. There was a secret laboratory underneath the warehouse. Underneath THAT secret lab was an even more secret lab, where a woman worked. Another Spanish (male) scientist was present in the warehouse. At some point I open a fridge, and see a can of what I assumed was whipped cream. Fancying some whipped cream, I took the can and sprayed half the can into my mouth and ate it. A scientist points out to me it wasn't whipped cream at all, but an experimental serum. Table cleaner?

      There's a large fantasy-style battle. I think there were dwarves? Anyway, after the battle ended in a 'tie' or a truce, I go look for REDACTED. I wanted to comfort him and promise I'd never give up trying to save his daughter. I thought I'd found him, but instead I found a small 'burrowing alien creature' mourning for the loss of its partner (during the battle?). Yeah... A bit later, I'm standing by a kind of large basin filled with water. Like a huge swimming pool (like 300 feet long at least) made of concrete. I notice the water appears to move as I focus on it. I focus harder, and 'will' the water to start bubbling. Eventually, the whole pool bubbles violently, and I realize I must be some kind of 'hydromancer'. Then, I thought about another trick. I focused all my power, and forced to split the water like how Moses split the dead sea. It was amazing. It required me to focus so hard, I was screaming from the sheer willpower it took to maintain the effect.

      After waking, I recalled all the dreams I've had in which I caused accidental tsunami waves just by being near an ocean. And I mean HUGE tidal waves, the size of a skyscraper. Subconscious can be so much more powerful than consciousness, and these monster waves show just how powerful hydromancy can be (effortlessly too, compared to how much focus I needed to split the water consciously)!
    5. Dream - Demanding Doctor

      Date of Dream: MON 1 JAN - 2018



      Dream No. 254 - Demanding Doctor

      I don't remember how the dream started. From where I do remember, I was suffering from a minor ailment and so was walking into a doctors' clinic... I think it was something to do with my eyes. I was in the waiting room when I saw RH there, giving me some sort of very strange look... His appearance was also slightly distorted. I thought to myself in the dream that I usually give people a nasty look when they look at me strangely but I just kept quiet and ignored RH to show him that I had what it takes to be a professional accountant.

      As I was looking towards the treatment rooms, I saw a doctor coming down the stairs, she said it was my turn. I was going up the stairs with her and telling her what my ailment was. Inside the room was very long, almost like a small corridor and there were all these bookshelves around the place. The doctor invited me to sit down but that's when she turned nasty; she told me I had to pay right that minute or she was going to literally kill me!

      I panicked immediately when I realised the fact that I had absolutely no money on me. The doctor must have noticed I was stuttering as she grew a look of sheer violence on her face. I was trembling so bad but still had the capacity to call out for Dreamy WB. The response time was immediate in this dream. The scene moved to the reception desk where it showed a side shot of Dreamy WB taking a $20 note out of her large dark red, brown, black and white African print handbag and putting it on the bench even though no one was there in attendance. Her appearance was clean and accurate in this dream.

      The scene then moved back to me in the treatment room. The doctor said that “someone” had paid and so now the treatment could commence. That's all I can remember about this dream.



      Dream Trophies Achieved:
      - None



      Dreamy WB's appearance wasn't messed up in this dream at all. Most importantly, she had the correct skin tone and hair colour. In the dream, she decided to wear a black cardi over a white singlet with black leggings, and an extra accessory which was a pair of reading glasses.

    6. 17-12-31 Sexy Dream

      by , 01-01-2018 at 04:17 AM
      Very pleasant dream. I was laying in a bed. In the same room, my older brother was sitting at a desk, working/playing on a computer. I think the doorbell rang, or someone knocked on the door, and two women entered the room. One woman had black, medium-long hair and looked young, in her late teens. The other was blonde, and appeared early middle-aged. I assumed it was her mom. When looking at them again, I noticed the blonde looked younger now, in her twenties probably. The black-haired girl also looked to be in her mid-20's now. She looked at me, and we made eye contact. She smiled. A gorgeous, seductive smile. I immediately knew she liked me. Feeling brave, I winked at her. Then pretended to continue sleeping, even though I was definitely not sleeping. I don't know how the scene evolved from there, but both my brother and the blonde had disappeared. The girl got in bed with me, and stuff happened from there. I'll save you the details. But it was good. A lot of passion for a complete stranger. At some point she asked what I did for a living. I answered truthfully (unemployed but looking), but to be honest I wasn't very interested in small talk and just wanted to keep going.

      At some point, I started losing the dream. The image froze and I felt I was awake (but eyes still closed). I focused to continue the scene, and it worked. I was trying various positions, and while doing this the dream froze again. Her face looked like a badly textured CG character before rendering. This time, I knew the game was up and I could no longer stabilize the dream. I was quite annoyed I couldn't climax in the dream before waking up.

      This dream was memorable because in reality I feel fundamentally unlovable, and this DC made me feel... attractive? Also, when the dream started getting unstable, I knew how to stabilize it, implying partial lucidity.

    7. Protip: [Talking about Dreams in a Dream] =/= [Lucidity Trigger]

      by , 12-31-2017 at 08:36 AM
      It was an assumption on my part that if I talk or think about lucidity and dreams in my dreams, I will instantly become lucid. However, this assumption is invalid (because the antecedent is true and the consequent is false in the material implication) as I have a dream of me talking about dreams with my older brother. To rub the salt in the wound, my older brother called Stephen LaBerge to get both of us into Stanford for his lucidity research.

      Now I feel inclined to do a reality check every time I research or talk about lucidity.

      Dream Title In Summary:
      Dream - With My Brother & Tell Me What You Want & Unfinished Business & Dangerous Stable & Advanced Diploma Problems



      Dream No. 253 - Separated Sections

      Dream 253 A - With My Brother
      I don't remember the start of the dream. From where I do remember, I was heading outside my sleeping cabin in Canberra. We were packing to go home but I forgot what I was doing exactly. I had to be somewhere by a certain time. I was walking through the main part of the city which didn't look like the layout of Canberra in real life. I eventually bumped into my brother and he was a mischievous figure in this dream.

      I also forgot what I was exactly doing with him until the scene changed and he and I were walking around these random suburbs. He said something to me, something about the three things he's proud if after Christmas. I've forgotten the first two but the third one wrote something like “correcting Karla about WB”. A lot of things were going through my mind at the point. I was thinking to myself “since when does he know anything about WB or if so, then how the hell did he find out?”. For the rest of the dream, I was literally a frozen body in shock... That's how the dream ended after I remained frozen for a while, unable to carry on with anything.

      Dream 253 B - Tell Me What You Want (Lucid Dream 11)
      This lucid dream was very short and I don't remember how I became lucid in this one. All I can remember is that I was on the far side of Mulgrave, walking around with JO. When I became aware I was dreaming, I asked her “what do you want to do?”. Exactly like in real life, she said nothing and it was annoying me how she was so indecisive. I eventually came up with something we could do but I have forgotten what it was. The dream ended soon and nothing productive was done.

      Dream 253 C - Unfinished Business
      This dream was also very short. I forgot where I was but I know I was with my mum. I was wanting to buy some craft products at a stall but my mum said “no” and so I said to her, “Well then I'm not finished, I'll find a way to do it in the next dream”. That's all I can remember about this dream.

      Dream 253 D - Dangerous Stable
      I don't remember what happened at the start of this dream. From where I do remember, I was in some sort of stable or shed with my mum and we were walking around, looking at all the market stalls. I saw the craft area in a little room connecting to the stable and I told I mum and I wanted to go there. She said to me that we'd come back to it later at the end of our trip. For the remainder of the market stall scene, she was mostly looking at plants.

      It came time when she promised me we would go back to the craft area. My mum started walking one way but I called out to her, “It's this way!” and automatically walked in my intended direction. My mum ended I meeting back at the craft area at the same time although in hindsight, I think I accidentally went the longer way. I started to question where the craft stall and I start off by blaming it on my mum but then she said that she thought the craft area should be there as well.

      When we both didn't know what happened to the craft area, I got the hint that something was very wrong. I told my mum that I would work it out. She asked me what I was going to do and I told her I was going call my dream guide and for her just to wait in one area. Then I walked off and I started calling out “Dreamy WB!”. On a second thought, I thought about how the dream would likely stuff her up and give me an old man again, so now I was on repeat, calling out with her alternate name, “Miss T!”... I was hoping the “Miss” prefix would ring a bell with my subconscious. I continued doing so as I headed out of the stable.

      Outside the stable, there was nothing; just fields of lush green grass for miles and miles with a dark grey, cloudy sky above. I was still walking around while still proclaiming to the dream environment, “Miss T!”. Eventually, all these blonde haired women in Wonder Woman costumes came flying out of the sky from nowhere. I'm looking at them, thinking “who are you? I'm looking for Dreamy WB...”. They tell me “he's” on “his” way... What was that?! I wasn't lucid in this dream, so I didn't catch that they called her a “him”.

      After a couple more times of calling “Miss T!”, the “man” comes flying out of the sky and worst of all, “he” looks nothing like even the real WB. I programmed “his” true identity when "he" landed on the grass, lying down. “He” resembled “Superman” from the latest Justice League film but “his” eyes were so huge, bulging out of “him” nearly. Me, knowing nothing, went and lay down next to “him”.

      For a few seconds, “he” placed “his” arm over me and just stayed quiet. “He” started speaking soon and told me that this place is dangerous, for me to go and “he'll” fix the problem by “himself”. “He” then got up, picked me up, and tossed me into the sky, causing me to wake up.

      Dream 253 E - Advanced Diploma Problems
      I forgot what happened at the start of the dream. From where I do remember, my mum and I were in this unknown outdoor area, heading over to the Advanced Diploma enrolments. We still didn't have the full details of the Advanced Diploma and so we wanted to locate a teacher who could tell us more about the course.

      We eventually located GA but his appearance was slightly off in the dream... At least we could still recognise him. I didn't know what I wanted to ask him, I was stuttering and my mum lost her train of thought as well. GA ended up saying that I shouldn't be doing the legal unit of the course as it was so hard my brother even failed it at Deakin University. My mum and I then walked away and were talking to just each other for a while. As my mum and I were talking, I had a brainstorm and realised something, I told her there were two legal units in this course.

      I eventually gained concern and asked her, “so which legal unit is he talking about?”. My mum suggested we find him again to ask. She goes to me “there he is” and so we approach him to ask the question. The dream blurred out his answer and so that scene didn't quite make any sense and I think he may have even been speaking gibberish at some points.

      My mum and I decided to leave the place and so headed back to our car. “Where is the car?” I thought and then I eventually found it park in some obscure location in the underground carpark, in a weird angle. We got in and I was driving home. I noticed the brakes weren't working properly, which became a real problem once we got onto the so called “freeway”, which was just a wide, single-lane road. I tried to press on the brakes when the turning the bend but the car just swung around it so fast. Before my mum would tell me off, I said to her “Sorry mum, I was pressing the brakes as hard as I could but they just don't seem to be working at all”.

      The dream transitioned to the next scene which was playing on a split screen, one top and one bottom. It was going to be two scenes, playing at the same time, alternating the focus between each other. In one scene, I was talking to Spyro, in the other scene, I was talking to Sly Cooper. Spyro had Sparx but I noticed that Sly didn't have a glowing friend, so I gave him a little lantern to carry. I then told them each how the dream keeps giving me imposters every time I call for Dreamy WB. The dream ended there.

      It is frustrating, I am still getting some crap imposter every time I call for Dreamy WB... Looks like it's time to write a letter to the ABTD again.

    9. January 20, 2015 (L) | GLaDOS, Neurotoxin

      by , 12-31-2017 at 02:32 AM (Fantastical Adventures)
      -1-Spawn: Test Chamber 18. I continued playing through the chamber in the pillar room, and I noticed a catwalk above the exit, so I aimed at that instead of the exit. Suddenly, GLaDOS noticed that I was playing instead of Chell, so she was like, [insert standard AS greeting] and she retracted all the platforms at once, leaving me to fall into the next scene.
      [New Scene]
      I did a quick Google search of “GLaDOS and Cave Johnson.”
      [New Scene]
      I was looking at the radar loop for a storm from 1992. Next, I looked at the current loop prediction, and it was predicting very fast and short-lived snowfall. I was briefly lucid before getting covered in green stuff.
      -2-The house was filling up with neurotoxin, which nobody but me could survive in. Also, there were like 10-15 people there. A few protested at me reentering the building, but I ignored them and entered anyway, knowing that I was nearly immune to neurotoxin. I ran downstairs, and pushed a red ball out the window. (the largest of the house was completely different changed into an octagonal cylinder, about 10 feet across, and with 2 floors, the bottom floor being larger in area. Next, Brock(the mii) prepared a “train explosion” and set it off.
      [New Scene]
      I fell in some lava and “died.”
      -3-So after interacting with something, whoever was there started transforming into slightly-human moles at different times. My friend C and I were the last ones standing. [Scene: my bedroom at night] We knew we didn’t have long. But never that, because someone outside turned on a huge light that shined on the hills of snow outside, and made a beautiful view. We both rushed for our cameras, but before we could even turn them on, someone turned off that light. Next, C and I were watching gameplay of the dream version of GalCiv 1. The player stumbled across a planet, which was the planetary location of a Doctor Who episode, a trailer of which was what C and I were suddenly watching. The episode was titled, “The Internet.” On the planet, the population acted in person exactly the same way people would on the internet. The one clip I saw seemed pretty accurate.
      -4-I decided to speedrun Super Monkey Ball Deluxe…the Gamecube version that never happened. I looked to the left and saw M2K sitting next to me. I asked him, “Hey, are you Mew2King?” He said something like, “That name belongs to someone else at the moment.” Suddenly, we both were playing SMBD. He was getting pissed off.
      [New Scene]
      I was playing the dream version of Skyward Sword, where if I got to a certain point, I had to buy a green dinosaur to continue, which I luckily already had.
      [New Scene]
      Suddenly, a bunch of kids were riding those tiny karts on some train tracks. Some of them fell off the tracks, injuring some of the kids. While they were in pain, some guy was talking trash via video call.

    10. First Lucid in awhile

      by , 12-30-2017 at 11:27 PM (Hopeless Wanderings)
      Recently I've been trying to get back into this. I know I say that every time. But it's almost a new year so thought I'd try. Here's a lucid from a few nights ago

      I was dreaming, I "woke up" on the couch in the living room, which is where I was in RL, and thought I'd try to LD. I thought I was awake, so I "fell asleep" and went right into the lucid. It was night time. I was in the backyard of someone's house, and there was a tent in the middle of the yard. Right away I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to see someone who had recently passed away, DR. So I asked her to appear, as I walked around and around this tent. There was this miniature doll like house that I considered going in to explore, but decided to stick to the plan. It wasn't working, so I closed my eyes and pictured her standing in front of me. I opened my eyes, nothing, then I woke up for real.

    11. A bunch of slightly feverish fragments

      by , 12-30-2017 at 07:06 PM (BahamutZERO's dreams)
      I've got the flu atm, and I dreamt a whole bunch of short, disconnected dream fragments over a cycle of falling asleep and waking again. I remembered 4 of them. I remembered a 5th at some point, but alas I forgot it after falling asleep again.

      In the first, I was heading towards an airport because I had to catch a plane. There was an apparently short route on the left and an apparently long route on the right. I took the short route, but that led to the back side of the airport. I talked to some people to ask for directions, and they sent me on some way which I discovered I would've ended up on much quicker if I just took the "long" route. I'm not sure what made me think the right route was the long one. I did catch my plane just in time! Inside of plane it looked more like the interior of a submarine, however.

      In the second, I was working on my software project with my colleague. He turned around to talk to me, and pointed to the sky. In the sky I saw the structure of my project, and he pointed to a problematic part in it. He asked if our project was supposed to support smart contracts or not (even though in real life it has nothing to do with cryptocurrency or smart contracts). I told him that my original designs of the system was supposed to support smart contracts, but it's not terrible if we ended up going for a simpler and more limited solution. He said "good, let's go for the simple solution then. we're running short on time, and if we don't finish the project, we'll fail the exam". (Somehow, the whole thing switched from working on a project for my job to working on a project for a college exam.) I suddenly started to feel stressed because I remembered that I had exams to do, and I hadn't studied anything, I only focused on the project, and I'm barely even managing to finish that. I tried to enumerate all the subjects I had to study for in my head. For each subject I remembered, I got stressier, because I wasn't prepared for any exams at all. Luckily the dream was over before the exams started.

      In the third dream, I was sitting in the living room of another family as a guest. They had 2 tvs. One tv was on the "MTV" channel, where the highest bidder can promote their music to popularize it. Next to that tv was another channel, called "Payback TV". This channel took all the music and programs that were cancelled from MTV, and rebroadcasted them there. I was interested in neither channel, so I went to check out the garage. In the garage there was a bunch of trash, and in the pile was a 3rd functional tv that was on another channel called "Trash TV". It turns out that if a program stayed on Payback TV for more than 6 months, it got cancelled from Payback TV too, and continued on to looping on Trash TV forever. The Trash TV screen was black-and-white. It was playing music videos from a very obscure band that I'm a fan of. I was more interested in that, so I watched Trash TV in the garage instead. At some point I felt like I needed to pee and took a piss in the trash pile. Then I awoke, feeling that I need to pee in real life, glad that I didn't accidentally wet my bed!

      After the toilet break I fell asleep one more time. In this dream I was looking for a solution to a caching problem in my project for work. A solution had been proposed to archive every page as a static html, rather than rendering it anew every time it's visited. However, there was a problem that the application I'm making is a very context-sensitive - the system behind the user permissions is very complex. So each user basically gets to see a different view of the page. I imagined every possible variable in the context as a dimension in a multidimensional grid. I imaged a process running constantly in the background, trying to fill all the cells in the grid with caches, evaluating a priority function to decide the next cell to cache. I imagined cache invalidation as the clearing of a whole row in either dimension. The background process tried to catch up with the cache invalidation as fast as it could. As I imagined this visually, it turned from an idea into a video game. The player is the cache and tries to fill all the cells, while the difficulty lies in the computer frequently clearing rows of the grid. Since it was simply a grid of coloured squares, the game looked like an Atari 2600 game. It was a very annoying game to play.
    12. Dry Sleet

      by , 12-30-2017 at 06:30 PM
      Morning of December 30, 2017. Saturday.



      My dream is set in a mostly undefined location. It is already a factor of the waking space (waking transition symbolism). Zsuzsanna and I are sleeping on the floor on a blanket, with no mattress. Although the setting is undefined, there is some essence of the kitchen of our present home, except it seems much larger. As such, we are oriented with our heads to the east when sleeping. It seems to be morning, though there is minimal light.

      Curiously, a handicapped young male (of whom we do not know in real life but have seen in the past), is also present on a blanket on the floor to the north. I do not see him as an intruder or even as being imposing.

      The setting also has the common ambiguity of bilocation, the sense of being indoors and outdoors at the same time (a result of being in sustained non-lucid waking space), though my focus is more on being in our home. Still, sleet begins to fall. It is small ice pellets, though they are not hitting any of us directly, just falling about onto the blankets. The other male seems somewhat cheerful as I pick up some of the ice pellets. He does not get up from his blanket.

      I perceive that the sleet is somehow dry, which puzzles me. I inform Zsuzsanna of this. How could sleet be dry? I know it is made of water (or is supposed to be), yet I also perceive that no water (frozen or otherwise) is present in the ice.



      This is water lowering waking symbolism (though second-level), which has occurred on a regular basis (in one form or another) since childhood. The most likely biological explanation behind this is an association with needing to drink fluids after waking (which is also what desert settings typically indicate). The essence of water is my most common dream state induction factor (and its lowering or lack of presence symbolizes waking from the dream state). Water symbolizes the biological dynamics of sleep in real time. The human body is made of about sixty percent water. (I tend to hear the sound of water flowing when entering a more relaxing sleep, and if my sleep is disturbed briefly or the level of my unconsciousness shifts, I will hear sounds that resemble stones breaking the surface of a pond, at slightly different pitches, which brings me closer to consciousness during the induction state. However, still ponds and small lakes are more on the outer levels of unconsciousness and the dream state. Wider rivers, floods and higher waves, and the ocean, tend to be rendered when I am deeper in sleep and more relaxed - this being the opposite of typical claims by so-called dream interpreters, and in fact, the sound of the raging ocean is used on commercial relaxation tapes to induce sleep.)

      I find this dream curious in how there is a subliminal waking space symbol here. The handicapped male is someone we have only seen once in the last several years, and only just recently. We saw him at the shopping mall as we were sitting on a bench that faces the large parking lot. He was off to our left, the same orientation in viewpoint as in my dream when I was standing and facing east. Without intending to sound mean, his mentally disabled status also symbolizes the lack of critical thinking skills when unconscious.

      My association with the parking lot as a liminal space factor (both in real life and the dream state) rendered him in my dream as a liminal space “remnant” (rather than being a RAS component or preconscious dynamic), though in the waking space where only blankets (as dream state indicators) were rendered. I find that intriguing, and it only serves to validate what I already know.

      The rest is based on associations of when our roof was torn off and it rained inside our house in November. We then slept on the floor in the front room (where part of the roof still covered it) for a time. The kitchen association almost always relates to light hunger in sleep. I suppose there is a bit of wishful thinking here in this particular case as well. We want to stay dry in our house when it rains. Our new roof seems to be okay thus far.

      Some Fragments
      - Something about telling somebody to give me the last two hot dogs?

      - It was my 26th birthday and was taking snapchat pictures with sister and friends. Found A gold dollar coin with my birth year on it in a pile of change from C's dresser.

      - Not sure if I was just flying or if I was an actual bird; but I was in the sky searching down below for a gas station.
      I saw an old timey one and flew down to it, complaining that it was old and probably didn't work etc..

      - I think I was near the gas pump but there was this odd wall made of small rectangular concrete blocks that I had to (for some reason) crack the code to them. There was a large beautiful tree behind me that seemed to glisten in the sun.Some male character was coming towards me.

      - In the hospital, had my left leg/knee on top of some ice. Sister says, "they must be getting you ready for surgery". I freak out a little and she yells asking the question. A person comes in (nurse I reckon) and puts a tube into my knee about an inch thick/around and pretty long, filled with cubes of ice. I guess the tube must have been through my knee/leg out on the other side because she began to 'Flush' my leg with ice. It went super fast through the tube and ice kept going through it really fast. It didn't hurt but I yelled out/groaned when it started because it startled me.

      The dream starts out with me standing in a bathroom and for or some reason my turtles are in the bathtub. I see the tank somewhere close by and notice that the turtles are also in there at the same time. I think this is strange and wonder if I'm dreaming, so I perform a RC by pinching my nose and trying to breath through it. At first I couldn't breath, but I try again and this time I'm able to breath. I realize I'm dreaming and become somewhat lucid. I'm excited and expect to wake up or become paralyzed like usual, but nothing happens. I start to run to the front door because I want to try flying. After bursting through the door I jump off the front steps as hard as I can, but don't manage to take flight, however I did jump a bit higher and farther than I expected. I start walking over to the street while wondering what to do now. Looking around I notice a woman wearing white clothes tending to the flowers in front of the house. She tries to distract me, but I tell her "Sorry not interested" and then I command her to be gone while snapping my fingers and she disappears into thin air. I continue walking towards the street. Looking back at the house I see that the woman has re-appeared and went back to the flowers. I start walking down the street looking for something to do and start chasing after a car to see if I can catch up to it. The dream fades away before I'm able to reach the car.

    15. Dream - Spoilt Brat

      Date of Dream: SAT 30 DEC - 2017



      Dream No. 252 - Spoilt Brat

      I can't remember much of this dream. From all of what I can remember, I was holidaying at The Grampians with my family again. All I can remember in this scene was the range of clothes I was wearing over the days. I was picking an outfit to go somewhere and my mum disagreed with me about something.

      Back at my current house, I was in the backyard when a little blonde haired boy appeared nearby. He resembled the little boy from Dream 250 C who was being naughty in the kitchen. I forgot what he did this time but it was enough to make me tell him off. I ended up marching up to him and bending down; exactly like Jo Frost, I said to him the famous phrase “that behaviour was unacceptable”... I even used a British accent.

      After that, the boy start crying and screaming at me. He was chasing me into the house while throwing chunks of this brown coloured jelly-like goop at me. For a long while, I was successfully dodging him but he would not stop until eventually a piece of goop landed on my leg. It wasn't harmful at all. Only when I went into my bedroom and sat on my bed, I lifted up my dress to see the piece of goop still sitting on my leg. I picked it up, pulled it off and threw it somewhere far away into the dreamscape. That's all I can remember about this dream.
