Good morning everybody. This dream definitely ended around 1 AM. I had gone to bed at about 9:30 PM.

Although the end of this dream is very interesting (by my standards -- my dreams are tame compared to the others on this site!), and although it seems pretty spontaneous, I feel it was actually influenced by waking life -- namely by the part in Emiko's dream from yesterday where the boy tells her his name is Thomas.

Dream #1

I was in an apartment. Some stuff here happened that I no longer remember.

A young, pretty, and somehow motherly woman then told me something about how the doors of the apartment were open. This meant something like I would now be able to get back into the apartment, whereas before, I think, once I'd gone out I couldn't come back. The woman asked me to go pick up some kind of food.

I left the apartment. It was night. The apartment was a two-story building with outdoor balconies connecting the second story apartments. The area around the apartment felt like it was under construction or like it had been neglected or destoyed.

I think I was now planning to ask my cousin for the food the young woman had requested. I crossed the street to where my cousin lived. The building was a "college dorm," but it actually looked like a military living space for in the desert. It was long, half-cylindrical, and painted green.

I was now inside. The space was like a small supply warehouse. The floors were concrete. The space was lit by lamps hanging from the ceiling. There were a lot of young men around. They were largely congregating toward the back of this structure, where there was a big TV.

This was the first day of something like college or an extended trip that these guys were taking during college. The guys had all just settled into their dorms.

Along the left and right walls were doorways leading to a bedroom. Each boy had a bedroom. Beside each doorway was a small kitchenette and a small washer-dryer combo. I had a hard time telling whether each boy had his own kitchenette, washer, and dryer, or whether two rooms each shared one set. I either couldn't tell or didn't wonder where the bathrooms were.

I knew that I also had a room here. But I figured I'd probably continue living in the apartment. The boys all seemed cool. But I had a feeling that if I lived around them too long, I'd attract their bad attention and make a bad situation for myself.

I wondered if I had food of my own in the kitchenette that belonged to me. But I didn't concern myself with checking. I knew I'd come here to find my cousin.

I found my cousin at the back of the structure, near the TV. He may have looked like a kid. We spoke for a little while. We were then met by a boy my cousin introduced me to as C, a boy from my cousin's neighborhood. C, who had been short, thin, and pale as a kid, was now tall, tan, and muscular. I was surprised to find myself attracted to him.

I heard some noise in waking life that began to wake me from my dream.

But I still lay in a dream state. I had a vision of three figures. They looked like "little girl in dress" figures cut out of felt and made to interlock. One figure was black; one, grey; and one, white.

I very sensibly heard the figures speaking. They spoke in male and female voices. They were talking about how they had been dream characters but how, now that the dream was ending, they were going back to some place where they spent the rest of their time.

They were speaking with each other in a joking, familiar tone about the stuff they had shown me during my dream. One of the female voices addressed another character as David. The name David affected me for a number of reasons, which I was very aware of, having to do with both family members and big world events that had happened when I was young.

I had the understanding that these characters were actually elements of my personality, and that at this moment they were all autonomous to interact with each other, apart from me. It was kind of like being able to look in from the outside on a schizophrenic episode, which kind of worried me.

I could now sense the characters sinking away somewhere, possibly into the base of my brain, or the very top of the back of my neck.

I now had a beautiful hypnagogic vision: a black background filled with twirling squares and circles, curtains full, of purple, scale-like shapes. This vision buzzed around for a while, then faded away into waking life altogether.

To sum it all up, everything I was dreaming about turned into something related to the military. It was a series of but nothing was really worth mentioning

At first, I'm eating in a lunch room, then I'm getting in trouble for taking a piece of food out of the designated "lunch area", into the combat area.

I'm at a pot luck type party, and everyone bought something. I arrived with a huge box of Cap n' crunch, and someone ended up stepping on it. Later on, someone tells us all we have to take a physical fitness test.

etc etc etc.

I was on the cellphone talking A, and she wanted me to go to the military grocery store with her. I was asking her which one and she said, "all the way up in Canada". I remember having some kind of cellphone problems. It either had to do with dialing the number or my phone itself, but I was also supposed to meet D there.

All of a sudden I'm at the parking lot, and I see one of the house keepers from the hospital. She's telling me some short story about how her husband didn't notice that she did something with her hair, and I gave her a hug, and kissed her on the cheek and said "don't worry...he's probably just a little stressed right now or something". I went inside, and I saw A, and greeted her with a hug. She was ready to go, and I asked her what did she need to get. She told me she was going to go down every isle, and I got kinda worried. D also showed up, and I was like "oh you know A" right? He said yeah, but he wasn't sure...like he saw a pic of her of my FB but thats about it.

I walked around and saw my bother there, they were already in line, and needed someone to do something, but their keys were missing, and one of them was talking about how the breaks were bad on the car. Everything sounded like a series of mishaps. D tapped me on the shoulder and ask me if I wanted to come with him. I didn't hesitate, and we walked up to this archery game. It used Styrofoam targets and blunt tipped wooden arrows. My first shot was directly at the bulls eye, and my last one was was so awkward because the arrow itself was too short for the bow. Several arrows broke as we shot them, and we needed to pull out and keep the good ones. Some guy who worked at the store came up and said "good rack". After double checking that only broken arrows were left.

While we waited on him to return with more targets and arrows, I looked outside and saw Dr. K. She was trying to talk to some soldier who was ignoring her. It was really windy outside, and I noticed there was desert everywhere. Things weren't adding up....I looked back outside expecting to see more desert, but it was green. I saw mandy walking around and I stopped her and asked "where the hell am I"? She told me the location, as she conveniently had a map with her. I understood that, but what I didn't get was why I was on a military base with civilians from back home. Also supposedly this base was back home. I rc'd....it didn't fail, but I failed to notice the lack of pressure with the nose pinch. I did it again...same thing. I started thinking about all the people I've seen since I got here, and knew non of it was adding up. Then the dream ended.

(brief lucidity, but I wont count it as a LD)

I'm back in the military, and theres some sort of hostage situation going on. Theres this big black guy who has a guy, and hes carefully moving him to a van. Several people have this guy surrounded with weapons, and I have no idea whats going on.

The guy shoots the random DC and shoves him in the front seat, and then points to and says "you're coming with me". I get in the van, and we drive off. He starts asking me questions about what type of vehicles I'm qualified to drive. He rambles them all off in numerics. I lie to him and tell him no, no, no, no. I tell him I didn't learn how to drive any vehicle, because I don't want to get caught up with whatever this guy has planned.

He starts asking me how much does it cost to clean up a vehicle this size at the carwash, and I tell him about five dollars with of tokens. I look down, and I notice I have the dead DC's blood all over me. From the looks of it, it's been there for at least an hour. We're coming up to a tank unit, and he tries to adjust the dead guy in the front seat to make it look like he's sleeping. He's having a hard time because rigamortis has already set in, and I hear all of the DC's bones in his right arm cracking. We pull up, and I get out.

Theres this brunette girl who looks like she's been out in field training for for several weeks. Her skin is tanned, and dirty and she's wearing a dark blue shirt and shorts. A male soldier is telling her to take off her shirt, and she does. I felt incline to stop them, but it was too late. She's not wearing a bra, and I can see the true colour of her skin.

At this moment, I FA into another dream where Someones asking me about what's happened, and I tell them what happened in the dream. They tell me with the information I provided I they can stop the guy who's behind it. I remember seeing a necklace that was in the shape of a T formed out of two mirroring handguns.

I'm back in the orginal dream, I'm looking around for that girl, but she's not there, she's on the tank. The guy in the van is gone. I take a few moments to look at the outfit that I'm wearing. It's standard military gear. I walk around, and see the girls shirt lying on the ground. I decided to pick it up and put in my back pocket.

More random SP.


Also I had a short dream about helping an ex of mine get to work on time. Everyone was mad, but I didn't care. It was Friday, and I didn't want anything to drag out longer than it had to.

I was a Fort Irwin heading to a night time field training exercise. I thought it was really convenient how I ended up at the starting location after practicably wondering around the desert lost. There were a lot of soldiers there, and we were all in our desert camouflage.

I noticed that I didn't have my beret on so I started looking in my rucksack for it. I pulled out one that had sergeants rank on it, and I pulled out another that wasn't mine also. I told the sergeant to look at his beret and see if it's mine. He swore up and down that it wasn't, and took the one I was holding. I started looking for the other one and I couldn't pull it out again. Some officers walked by and I saluted them, and they told us the mission was about to begin.

We headed into a building, so there really wasn't a need for headgear. And we were issued M9s, and given water canteens. Each room had a different objective. The first one involved treating patients and fighting germs. There were these bugs on the wall that everyone was firing dummy rounds at. We headed to the next room, and this guy started lecturing us. I placed all my stuff on the ground, and the teacher asked me was I sure that I was going to leave my stuff there, and I asked him how long was the class. "About 30 minutes", he replied, so I told him yes. He started talking about a scenario and asked me if I was use my water, and I told him yes, and I drank it. He said the water actually had something I can't remember inside it, and I died from it. He said I failed, and everyone else failed because they didn't say anything throughout the lecture.

We get to another section that involves some natural water slide. At the top the water is very foamy, but down at the bottom, the water was clear. I went all the way down, and some girl was asking me if I'd drink it. I told her no, because of how it looked up top. There were rows of tables where we were at, and I was looking for a place to sit. I sat next to a girl who looked familiar. She had the last name "Augmon" written on her uniform. Everyone was singing a song about something, and things just got a little weird.

scene change

They're showing this one guy kill all of these middle eastern people on tv. He climbs up a building and starts shooting them, but non of them are running. There is a radio tower that looks like it has collapsed that he starts shooting at until it falls into the crowd. I see my pops come out there and start talking to the man peacefully, and I'm trying to get what he's saying, but the people in the room are being to noisy. I shhsh them, and I realize that I'm back in the previous class room, but theres cake and other food sat out for a party. The way the guy killed all of those people seemed too unrealistic. I still don't get it yet, until I start looking for clues.

My rucksack has my papers from when I got out of the military, so I'm searching for them. I pull out something that has the date, and it looks like a receipt. Some sergeant comes up, and tells me to do something, and I tell him that I already got out. I hand him the papers, and he tells me that I'm still supposed to be in until next year. I look at the papers, and I cant read them, but they've completely changed. There are random papers on the desk. I look at them, look away, and look back at them, and I notice entire paragraphs and handwriting have changed. I told him that I was dreaming. The guy doesn't believe me, so I ask him to read the paper. He starts mumbling off what it says, and I stop him mid sentence and say "okay, look away, and look back at the paper". He does so, and he's just about to read it, but he can't. Now he thinks I did something to the paper. I told him If i wasn't dreaming why would I be able to do this, and slapped him in the face as hard as possible.

Another sergeant came up, and I showed him the same paper. He was even more difficult to convince, but eventually he realized that he was just a part of my dream. I walked around a little bit, and the dream started fading.

...

...

The dream begins in outer space, some time in the future, where two opposing factions are vying for control of an area of space somewhere in a remote galaxy. The beginning character of this dream is a "bad" guy renegade of the enemy group. He appears as my dream character Walter and he is a tall man with firery red hair and goatee. His ship is attempting a covert mission to penetrate a line of defence set up by the "good" guys.

The mission fails and Walter and his small crew of renegades are captured. Imprisioned aboard the "good" guys ship and because they are renegades and not officially listed as members of a military, Walter and his crew are subjected to experiemental science testing to achieve alternative physical forms during combat.

The experiments require chocolate bars to activate and at first there are only personality changes in the renegades, but after months of experimentation, physical slave labor (to build up muscle), and mind altering drugs and reprocessing (brainwashing) Walter beings randomly transforming into a white tiger in his prisoner cell at night. Soon his right hand man begins transforming into a grey wolf and other members of Walter's crew assume other animal forms.

The leader of the "good" guys has been following orders this whole time though he has secretly morally opposed the way he has been ordered to treat his prisoners (I think his name was Greg or something). When Walter and his crew begin transforming into animals, Greg is ordered to lead use the experimental prisoners to a nearby abandoned planet to decontaminate it of harmful chemicals and remove pockets of pirates and smugglers who inhabit some of the abandoned cities.

After the planet has been liberated and cleansed, Greg is ordered by his military leaders to capture more enemies and subject them to the experiemental transformation process as well. Greg protests and refuses and as punishment for defying orders Greg and his crew are subjected to the same experiments that Walter's crew endured. When the process is complete Greg begins transforming into an African lion and some of his crew also assume the forms of other sahara creatures.

With their new transforming abilities, superiour strength and skills, Greg defects to Walter's side and the two commanders then lead their crews to rebel against the oppressive military factions vying for control of this area of space. I cannot remember the end of this dream.

So I was with this other girl who was my little sister, and we left a group to go on a journey on horses. We were in the country. The landscape was pretty, although the sky was cloud-covered: gentle hills covered in grass and moss, and sorts of pine trees.
At some point I went behind a tree to pee, and I noticed a chain-link fence not too far to my right, and black puffs of smoke rising behind it. I told my sister about it. Suddenly, a man appeared behind the fence, and I recognized him as our enemy. He started to shoot at us with his rifle.
Me and my sister sort of played hide and seek with him and his mates, hiding in the large trees. While we were doing this, the landscape morphed slowly. A row of low buildings/shops appeared in the distance behind us, and a mini horse-riding centre/sports centre appeared right behind us.
The guys on the other side of the fence had found a way to cross it and were getting closer to us. We could do nothing but hide. At this point, a friend from the original group (another teenage girl) joined us. She had a gun too and started counter-attacking. Then, more people joined us and the bad guys were defeated.
All the good guys gathered in the nearby building, which at this point looked like a greenhouse. The building was well developped underground, with a nursery, a cafetaria, etc... (in fact, it looked like a bunker).
Several people on our side were wounded, among whom a close friend (possibly my sister) who needed blood. So I decided to inject blood in her with a tiny syringe. There was some air in the syringe, so a friend with some medical background warned me against injecting the air in her bloodstream, which could kill her.
Then, I carried an unconscious girl in my arms. I stopped in the cafetaria to chat with some of the guys, then went on my way, wit the girl in my arms, to find a place to lay her down. I thought of a little train wagon we have near the bunker. Many of our allies were there (some of them were actual soldiers), I think I saw Captain Picard too. I had to ask Robert Downey Jr to move his arm so I could let the girl rest on a train couch.

- FallOut 3 for the raiders attack and bunker bit

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am part of a military expedition exploring a very dense forest near a railway. At some point, a soldier finds, under some brambles, an old yacht. Soon, anyon who gets close to it loses their bearings and become confused.
My father goes there, I go looking for him but I forget what I went there for. I find a dog, then I find my father.
In the evening, back at the base, my father finds me weeping above the sink (I don't know why, maybe because I was worried for him).

In the army (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I signed in for a testweek at the military.
It was my first day and we were at a militarycamp at a tropic beach. At the outside of the camp there were hundreds of tourists spending their holidays on the beach.
The only buildings in the militarycamp were one-room-houses. We sat in one of these. It was just like in school, chair beside chair, desk beside desk. We listened to some guy and made some tasks.
Later we had some kind of 5-minute break. A few mates and me ran outside of the building and the camp and went to the sea. After a few seconds in the water, someone saw us and ordered us back.
Back in the camp we listened to some guys and did some tasks again.
Later I talked with my mates about that I didn't like it here very much.

Something completely different.

Still Holding On (Non-lucid)

★★★☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Placing the last bit of childhood memorabilia on the metal shelf, my assignment complete, I walked away fearing the worst. If the rumors were true, then the very essence of my childhood would soon be set ablaze by my platoon's sergeant. As the last of us finished up neatly arranging their most cherished possessions, the sergeant pulled out his flask of whiskey and began drenching the rows of precious memories with alcohol. When it ran out, he whipped out a lighter, lit it, and dropped it onto a nearby rack. A hot inferno shot up viciously and began to spread, consuming everything in its path.

My fellow soldiers passively watched the blaze, but I wasn't going to have it. "Those Pokemon cards are worth money gorrammit!" With that, a commotion ensued. Unfortunately, I couldn't get to my cards through the throng of moving people and the fire, so I did the next best thing: pull them to me with TK. Reaching out my hand, I focused on the boxes of cards, trying to bring them to me. But it isn't until someone knocked into the shelf that I was able to free them from the fire, unscathed, using only the power of my mind.

"Private! What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

"Saving money!" I shouted back, disrespectfully.

I ran off as everyone left the large, curved, window-lined, modern building. I'll show them. I'll meet them at the rendezvous point whether they like it or not.

Exiting from the entrance, my view split off and I saw everyone else had already left in a small yacht. I took to to the air. My flight controls were slightly awkward, but I couldn't help thinking how impressed everyone would be once they saw I could fly.

Making my way to the cylindrical tech station in the middle of the lake, I flexed my flight skills, showing off to no one in particular. When I did eventually reach the station, the sergeant proved speechless when confronted with my newfound abilities. Unfortunately, I screw it all up when I get too close to the water, hit it, and am unable to get back out.

Heh, thanks.

BAMFs (Non-lucid)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







I am an officer in some unkown military force. We're making our way through enemy territory and I've been tasked with taking down all enemy choppers with the two mini-guns I am carrying at my sides. I alternate between reloading and firing them, so that I can always have a continuous spray. Soon enough, all the choppers are destroyed. I back up against the castle wall behind me only to have a chunk of my shoulder bitten off by some kind of purple demon or something. I step away from the wall and gather together with my company.

Our commanding officer steps in and gives us all a pep talk, reminding us of our BAMF state of being. He needs a volunteer. Before he can say what it is everyone steps up. While he appreciates everyone's enthusiasm he chooses me for the job, hitting me on my injured shoulder. All the while this is happening some kind of weird hand is coming out of the lower wall trying to grab at anything it can.

We move out. As we do, two sickening blue demons come out of the large castle doors behind us. I fire my mini-guns at them. Everyone else takes part. They can't withstand the fire and fall to the ground, dead. Right behind them, however, are two huge wolves. No matter how much we fire at them, they aren't goin down. I try to draw them away from the rest of my squad by firing both my guns at once. The bullets tear through the beasts, but only slow it down so much. It lunges at me and grasps my arm in its fangs. I try to shake it off and fire a minigun into its head, but it doesn't let go. Reflex kicks in and expells me from the dream.

I should note that the fight with the wolves went on a bit longer than what I wrote, and that the dream reset itself, giving me a second chance to fight them. Unfortunately details are sketchy so I figured this would do.

Sample? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







Some interesting Non-Lucids last night. Here's a sampling.

Dream: This is Far From Safe

★★☆☆☆

Traveling in my friend's new Maxima, going down back roads at speeds upwards of 115mph. He's terrible driver. We almost fly off the road on more than one occasion, and every turn he makes has the car leave the pavement just enough not to run us into a wall or something. We here the cops behind us, but they're doing something else, not paying us much attention. . .

Dream: So Much Power in Such a Small Package

★★★☆☆

This is an odd dream in which I try to save this small girl from being hooked up to some kind of weird machine that drains her of her energy. I fail, she's caught, and subsequently hooked up to the machine by some old hag. You know, one of those people you can't stop yourself from hating. Anyways, when she is hooked up, she displays some of her power. An orb of light forms in front of her, uproots a tree with TK, and crashes it into the tents controlling the machine several hundred yards away.

I'll break this up and rate each one later tonight.

Tractor Scoop Thingy (Non-lucid)

★★☆☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







I'm required to play a point and click simulation type game where you convert an area of ascii characters over a plot of land into marketing districts. The more you convert the bigger your cursor get, and the larger the payout. There's a special ability that lets you wipe the board completely for whatever everything is worth at the time. I soon find out this is not the way to go, and before long my cursor has grown to several mile diameter. I'm now playing this game with Dwight Schrute from the Office. We've ranked up over 100 million dollars in revenue from our districts. Suddenly we're attacked by a bear. We run away, I expect Dwight to fight the bear with his bare hands, but instead the bear runs past us in fear and dwight hits it with a one of the construction tractor thingies with the large scoop on the front. <.<

'Cause That's How Currents Work (Non-lucid)

★★★☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







The previous dream continues into what seems like a survival situation. The "storm of the millennium" hits and starts to destroy the landscape around us. We're in a city, on the bay, but there's large ice formations all over the place. I'm on one of the ice formations when the storm hits. It break apart and sends me hurtling into the bay. The only way I can survive is by letting the the ridiculous currents take me around the world and back to the states. Yeah, it was weird.

27.07.2009

Behind Enemy Lines (Non-lucid)

★★☆☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







A military scenario evolves from the previous dream. Myself and a company of about six men are in a large canyon. Surrounding us is literally an entire army. They're on a mission to eradicate us, but espionage ensues and we somehow manage to get them to follow orders to leave us alone. We all make our way back to the nearby high school, snipers and other weapons in tow.

Sketchy Much? (Non-lucid)

★★★☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







Uh-oh, I'm late for my class. I just had two classes and it already seems like it's been a ridiculous day. My hardest class is up next, but it turns out it's not what I expected to be. Instead of a Data Structures class, it's a class on Lucid Dreaming! Yay, what luck! A subject I already know so much about! The start of the class is pretty basic and seems legit enough, but when the teacher starts bringing up sketchy topics, and turning into a demon when she starts covering "conspiracies", and then summoning the "prince of darkness" into our classroom. . . Well, let's just say I decided to leave before things got even more out of hand.

I Call Hax (Non-lucid)

★★★☆☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







I fire up the Xbox, and make a new silver account. There's this new game that comes out free on all Xbox's. It's a foot race game where you try to get the best times against people around the world. I start the game up and make my avatar, it looks more Mii-ish than usual. The game itself has sluggish controls. I'm actually inside the game as my avatar, but that's normal for me whenever I play games, so I pay it no mind. Anyways, I'm having some trouble moving at a fast pace, and the obstacles in my way are getting annoying.

So, I remember the course on Lucid Dreaming I just got out of. I figure it must be possible to do all that control stuff in video games so I just TK throw enemies and obstacles out of my way. As the path gets steeper and the ice slipperier I decide to simply fly over everything. In no time, I'm at the finish line, but I have to drop down for the game to register that I'm there. I get down just in time to beat everyone else who was racing with me. My time is so fast that it's the second fastest in the world by about two seconds. Yay.
