    1. Luminescent fairies within the head-crowns and the Atlantean War conspiracy; among others

      by , 08-08-2011 at 05:14 PM (Exploring the Unconscious - Bob's Dream Journal)
      These were my first decently vivid ones in a while... some weird shit, bro!

      So in one of these dreams, I was at some kind of theme/thrill park - but this park was in the forest, and everything was built out of old wood, and the paths were dirt. There was a "ride", or more like a tour, that I went on that involved walking around this old wooden enclosure that was extremely humid. I had some notebooks and back-to-college items with me, and everything was getting all wet and fucked up. It was making me so angry! There were these little Lilo-and-Stitch creatures too (in that they looked like Stitch... never seen the movie) that had these fleshy crowns on top of their heads. When I wasn't too busy trying to save my notebooks and getting soaked by the hot dripping air, I would look up at one of these guys and that fleshy crown would open up to reveal some kind of luminescent glowing fairy thing. Later on, me and another visitor had a great little chat about religion.

      In other new, I dreamed of going to war. Kind of. This section was wrapped around some kind of conspiracy theory... I THINK it went as follows, kind of: all that our military truly has access to is bows and arrows, and all this stuff we see about guns and tanks on the TV is just a big computer-generated lie, and our military hasn't had access to such technology since the Atlantean War in '92.

      Anyways... I was somehow armed with an automatic rifle despite this conspiracy, and was involved in a trench-style standoff between my unit and oncoming military. Who were also armed with rifles. The shooting was very video-game-like. With digital crosshairs and such. I took a few out with headshots and it was damn satisfying. Towards the end, there was kind of like a "boss level" where tons of enemy guys rushed at me. I wasn't scared because it had become far too much like a video game.

      There was also a segment that started out with Dad being angry at me and making me run laps. Don't remember what for. Eventually, that seamlessly morphed into some kind of scene in which I was atop a wooden tower with an annoying woman-friend of mine, while watching a riot/and/or/party burning on the street below us. Burning, like fire.

      Finally... a really disturbing dream slash nightmare managed to sneak in. It was inspired by my reading about the inefficacy of evil Chemotherapy before bed. (Something to look into, by the way: the FDA works to serve Big Pharma, not the individual: they have been systematically preventing the release of natural and effective cancer preventions and cures for at least the last decade-and-a-half: they profit off of keeping you sick, not curing you...)

      Moving on, in this dream I saw a bunch of old people thrown into this bare, concrete room as they underwent Chemotherapy and were subjected in their delirium to toxic drugs, pissing all over each other and dying slowly in this cold room, each one blindly hoping for a cure... God, I don't know if I want to go on. :/


      Circumstance:
      7.5 hrs sleep
      Hemp protein/rice-milk/tomato/avocado/Spirulina/Chlorella smoothie before bed
      Woke up around 6am to go to the bathroom, which gave me a good chance to review and commit to memory the first part of the nights dreams.

    2. 14th Shared Dreaming Attempt- Nonconformist's Dream

      by , 08-06-2011 at 04:24 PM (International Oneironaut Shared Dreaming Journal)
      NonConformist's Dream

      I am in this hotel, I'm Frodo, and Sam is with me. We're going up this elevator, but we're having trouble getting in. We both had just leveled up, and are able to change our skills. I get a skill called Admin, which lets me get a job promotion much easier. When the elevator stops, we get out, and there is a filing cabinet sitting there. It instantly opens, and something catches my eye. There is a file that says "Stephen Greer, UFO Phenomenon" though I don't get to look at it. I'm walking down the hall, and there is a tall Dutch/Welsh man named Hans there, along with 2 of his kids. In the room next to it, there is a business man there. Me and Sam go inside the room. The man is pretty shady, and I think that we were trying to steal something from him; a file or something. We tell him to follow us into another room, and Sam leads the way. Supposedly I have had a dream in this room before, and the business man and Sam were re-enacting it. I inched my way to the door, hoping that the man wouldn't notice, then ran over to his office. He did notice and ran after me, and I was caught. We were both standing in the doorway when Hans came over and decided to have a little 'talk' with the man. Hans came back with blood on his hand, and he told us we had better leave. We went back down the elevator, and out the door. Sam was now Edward, and I was my regular self. We were in a big business area that was outside, but it had a roof. There was a line for people who wanted to do jury duty. Ed said he wanted to wait in line, and I asked why, because there was a courtroom much closer to his house than this one. He walked away.
      ------------------------
      I am in a Jeopardy game show, with 1 girl 1 guy and me. Instead of earning points for answering questions, you would earn a prize that was worth points, like a doughnut, or a sweater that was worth a million and 6 points. The other guy was very stupid and got kicked off the show, and it seemed as though the whole crowd was women. Then, there was this man named XX100 who came on the show, who supposedly had been on the show before. The host took up arms, which was an azure Katana and dagger. The 2 began fighting a mighty battle, and I felt as though I was controlling the host like a puppeteer does. Soon the host had XX on his knees. XX was in a full suit of armor, so he removed his helmet, but to his surprise, he was wearing a ski mask. 3 to be exact. It was like something out of Scooby Doo. When he was finally unmasked and you could see his face, he was a white man with a shaved head. He kind of looked Scottish. He began to say something, but for the life of me I barely remember dialogue.
      ----------------------------
      I am in this amusement park(maybe) and with a whole big group of people. We are going through the shower rooms, boys on one end and girls on the other, but it didn't really matter, because you could see each other and we were all equally naked. The dream didn't start off like this, but I can't remember any more.
    3. Car trip, and old friends.

      by , 07-26-2011 at 02:37 PM
      I am with Joe, giving him a lift, he says he needs to pick up a lawnmower.
      It is clear to me that i am in my nottingham dreamscape, which i have mentioned before.

      We drive around and i dont know the roads at all, im getting confused and really frustrated, often taking wrong turnings. I pull over the next to a sort of par/ field. Its behind loads of posts with a pole connecting them, its black. The field is like a slow and steady downhill bank.
      There are lots of people on the grass, i look around and its night time, there are a few trees about and the road leads down to streets with loads of houses.

      As im pulling up i say "I just wish i knew where we are." Joe assures me that it is fine and tells me to wait for him. He heads off down a path to the left of the grass.
      I get out the car climb over the small posts and onto the grass, i then lay down on the top (and highest part of) the bank with my belly on the floor and head in hands.
      After a few minutes i see a group of 3 lads walking up the path to my left, the one in the middle looks at me, so i nod at him slowly and he nods back, then carries on walking.

      I look down the bank at some of the people, there is one guy playing acoustic guitar, he has dark short hair, across one eye, similar to myself, but shorter. I notice he isn't very good at playing guitar. Suddenly i start to slide slowly down the hill towards a group of people. I have no control here and find this very bizarre, I start thinking to myself " i wonder if i am dreaming" but i have no time to dwell because all of a sudden i am in the middle of a group of people and they are all staring at me. I quickly introduce myself and they smile at me.

      The guy on guitar begins to play "stay together for the kids" quite poorly and i am wondering if i could ask him if i could have a go. he stops playing, looks up and notices that me and the new group of DC's i am with are watching and listening to him, he asks "who am i?" i smile and raise my hands above my head, "Blink 182" i say, at the same time as the guy next to me.

      I slide down a little further and the group starts to watch me again, i say "i can't stop sliding down the hill, im sorry." the group smile and i get up.
      I decide its time to leave. I make my way up the hill and off the grass. I notice there is a huge queue of people waiting to get on the grass. A tall black guy makes a comment about me as i walk past him. I cant remember what he says but it annoys me. I stop and turn to him and make a comment about his afro being crap and i remember saying "ive seen white guys with better afros than that, put some effort into it, son"

      Everyone is now laughing at the guy, he swings for me but misses, i lunge at him straight away but people are dragging me backwards, i swing again and manage a pathetic hit on his arm, i think to myself ah man that was poor but as i look at him he is holding his arm and seems to be in pain. i smile to myself.

      I head back to my car and the door is wide open, i panic and and check inside the car to see if anything was stolen. There are mud splashes everywhere, its so dirty, i look into the back and there is a black lawn-mower on the back seat covered in mud but i cant see joe anywhere.
      I get in the car and notice that it is different from my own, the CD-player isnt the same, so i open the glove compartment and see what i usually keep in there isn't there (just old letters etc) i get in the car and say "this isn't my car, this head-unit is wrong, there are no letters. This is NOT my car."
      i try the ignition and it works with the key im carrying, i know this isnt my car and start wondering about dreams again but notice there is alot of people stood up now staring at me so i close the door and drive off.

      I dont know where i am and keep making wrong turnings again - i get woken up by my alarm.

      Fragment 2

      I am in a shop and realise that some old school friends work there, i am sat on the stairs to the shop, about half way up, leaning on a railing with two of my friends from school crouched next to me. One of them is Scott, but i cant remember who the other one is.
      We talk for a while and Scott says "don't ya think gemma is pretty fit?" He points over to a girl and i recognise her as a friend from school. i look at her for a moment and then say "no, besides scott, your gay!" I giggle and scott smiles, he asks me "how did you know?" - "Scott, i knew you were gat before you did, but the fact you've always been the campest person i ever knew kinda gave it away!"
      We both start laughing.

      He points again "theres Lauren" i look up and see a girl sat/leaning on the railing just down from me, she has dark hair and is very attractive, i recognise her straight away as lauren from school.
      I tell scott and the other that i have to go now. I get up and buy some things and leave the shop. When i leave i have a bike with me and have to hold this up along with all the shopping. I get frustrated with it after about 2 mins of walking and kick the bike quite hard. It ghost rides for a few metres and then falls to the right and hits the ground. 3 people are standing a few feet away from where the bike lands, they are all wearing black suites. There is 2 elderly men and 1 young woman, she is small and blonde with her hair tied back in a pony-tail. I walk up to my bike, pick it up and put 2 bags on the left handle bar and one on the right, i carry on walking. The suites are staring at some small plaque on the wall to the left of me.

      As i'm walking past one of the elderly man says " Here boy, what do you think of this?" i read the plaque and it said "suicide scorers" I gave the man a questioning look and he says to me "its our team, what do you think?"
      "well.... It's a little bit Emo isn't it?" i reply, the two men look shocked but the woman laughs and agrees with me. The men say i dont know what im talking about and walk away, i laugh. The woman smiles at me and says "you think thats bad, you should try working with them." we laugh together and i pat her affectionately on he arm "good luck" i tell her.
      She smiles at me, says "thank you" and starts to stroke my face/cheek.

      I wake up.

    4. Emma Watson at Marymoore Park/my ex best childhood friend's TV room

      by , 07-20-2011 at 07:52 PM
      We were at this big party, and Emma Watson was there. It wasn't like a huge Hollywood party, it was more like a large family reunion, so people weren't lining up to get her autographs but rather going up and talking to her ever so often, and she always had people asking her questions and talking to her. Anyways, it was outside, and it kind of looked like it was by the baseball fields at Marrymore Park underneath some trees. But there was a giant swampy river running next to us. At one point, Emma and I were looking at something on a computer together at the same time, and talking about it. My mom and my stepdad and some of my stepdad's relatives were sitting around us, and my mom said something really stupid and embarrassing and Emma obviously heard it. I responded "No, Mom…" and then mumbled "Jesus Christ…" which offended my stepdad, and he said something to me, but I don't remember what it was. Emma chuckled and got distracted by something and stood up and walked away towards some other people. I wanted to say something like, "Don't go" or "come back" but I didn't want her to think I was too excited that she was there.

      At one point, everyone at the party was listening to this very gothic, symphonic metal band, which had something like 3 female voices singing the verses at the same time (which now that I think about it, is an interesting idea…). The certain song they were listening to seemed like a normal gothic-ish, symphonic metal song with normal gothic lyrics, except all of a sudden, the lyrics mentioned the exact name of my band (which is a pretty unusual name) and people immediately turned to me and said "Ooh they dissed your band" or something along those lines. Emma had heard all the commotion about this, and I saw her smile and let out a little polite chuckle. I asked some guy to turn the song back to the part where they sang the name of my band, and listened to it again. I heard my band's name again but I could make out what context they were putting it in. I was very annoyed and so I posted got my phone and posted a link to my band's Facebook or soundcloud or something, so people could actually hear us and see how much better we are than this stupid band who mentioned us. 3 people commented on it, and out of those 3 comments, Emma Watson had left a comment that said something like "2 years studio? " which I perceived to mean that she wanted to take guitar lessons from me for 2 years/wanted me to record the guitar on her next 2 CD's in the studio for 2 years/was going to pay for me to record my CD in a professional studio for the next 2 years. I think I might have looked up and seen her across the room smiling at me or something, or maybe that is just what I had imagined when I saw the smiley face in her comment.

      I don't remember how this next part happened, because I can't remember how we got into the situation but; at one point, I was down in this giant cellar or something and I had to get out. All of a sudden I saw this brown cup, filled with some water, which was tilted at a 45 degree angle. I heard this voice saying "Go into the cup" or "remember the cup" or something, so I put my face into the cup. The next thing I know, I'm in a room with Emma Watson kneeling down holding the brown cup and I'm standing next to her. The room was designed like the very back of a cargo plane, where they place stuff to drop out of the plane when flying. We kind of just looked at each other for a second, and then I woke up. I think.
    5. First WILD attempt..

      by , 07-03-2011 at 02:17 PM
      I woke up at about 6am this morning..2 hours earlier than I planned to, so I figured it was too early to have passed an REM cycle. I got up, browsed some sites on the computer for a while, then went back to try a WILD at about 7am.

      Green = non-lucid
      Red = moment before lucidity
      Sky Blue = lucid

      First Attempt:

      I knew I had nearly done it when I felt a huge tingle all over my body, which at some point just broke. It kind of feels like your body "disconnecting" if you were to describe it. Behind my lids, I was seeing some flashes of pictures in the distance, and I was attempting to focus on them. However, I feel like I got too excited at this new sensation, and the pictures soon went away and simply turned into blackness. I opened my eyes to find myself lying in bed.

      Second Attempt:

      Not willing to give up, I decided to try one more time. It was a strange mix of non-lucidity and brief lucidity, but I am getting there. I once again felt the telltale sign of that "disconnecting" feeling, and this time let it overtake me without trying to focus too hard. Unfortunately, I believe this thought of completely letting go caused me to lose consciousness and I fell into a non-lucid dream...

      I was in some type of either spaceship with narrow corridors. I knew I was in danger, I believe I was also with my girlfriend. There were howling noises in the background like wolves, and we were hiding in this dark room, but still light enough to faintly see each other...we were on a chair and I remember hugging her..but for some reason we didn't care about the danger and well it was starting to become "feely."

      At this point that dream fades out, and I open my eyes to find my room...or so I thought.

      I "woke up" and lay in bed for a few seconds just looking out my window. But something didn't feel right. Outside the window was another building..with a gated fence in front of it. It was also at ground level, when I live on the top floor of an apartment building. At this moment I realized it was a dream.

      It felt incredibly stable at first. I walked to the window and looked outside. The sky was dark, everything was shaded in gray, and I was at ground level, inside a black fenced enclosure that looks like one of those city parks with all cement. I felt scared like there was a sense this would be a nightmare, but realizing that I was dreaming, I braved it and stepped outside my window. I believe this is the moment I got ahead of myself: I walked for a bit, then immediately wanted to test the ability to create things. I looked at a spot on cement lot and imagined Holo(anime) standing there. It worked and it didn't. As I did this, it felt like I was focusing on my body lying in bed to work the imagination, rather than my dream body. I became aware of myself lying in bed and try as I might to get the dream to come back, it was too late.

      I am definitely going to try more tomorrow however. Now that I know more or less what sleep paralysis feels like to me, I know what to expect and will be able to take things slower.
    6. Car Robbery!

      by , 06-22-2011 at 05:26 AM
      I am at a high school dance (although I am 20 and in college now). I go out to my car for something and I see a black man come up to me and start to get into my car to steal my things. I am horrified and try to tell the people in the car next to me but they think I'm kidding and that the robber is a friend because of how calm we both appear. I am trying to dial "911" on my cell phone but the calls won't go through and I notice I have been dialing "991" over and over instead.

      Later, a girl who I sense is evil has a crush on me (I myself am a heterosexual girl). The girl bites my lip and makes it bleed. She starts to shake as if she is possessed and says that blood makes her crazy. I make out with her with intent to have sex with her but I never do.

      -At this point I "woke up" and wrote the above in my journal but when I woke later, nothing was there. I believe this was an out of body experience as I have been practicing this a lot lately.-

      Later, I am at the water park and a little black boy sprays me and my mom with a spray gun full of orange liquid. I assume it is orange soda (delicious). People around me are shouting and happy. As the boy sprays me I lift a blanket I am wrapped in to shield the spray and laugh.

      Later, I am in my recent ex's room wearing a blanket again. He is sweating and asks, "aren't you hot?" I take the blanket off, say, "no," and put the blanket back on.
    7. get the hell away from me

      by , 06-20-2011 at 05:58 AM
      i'm grounded but everyone left and i'm at home alone. i leave and there is snow on the ground and i'm walking somewhere near Rotary Park with Jon (ex boyfriend) trying to be sociable, friendly. he keeps trying to hold my hand and tell me he loves me and i'm just like, "Jon, no."
      he is really pissing me off.
      then James (youth minister) pulls up in the church van with all the stupid kids from my church and is like "get in, Mallory" so whatever, i get in. i know he'll mention something to my mom about seeing me and i figure i'll be in less trouble if i'm with church people. so anyway, James is trying to get me to go with him and the kids on this trip that's going to take all day and i'm just like "no, i don't want to go" and he is stubborn and ignoring me. he keeps driving and everyone is pissing me off.

      i don't remember how the dream ended but i'm really glad it did.
    8. First Lucid Dream in 14 Long, Dreary Years. (Or months... ish)

      by , 06-06-2011 at 05:47 AM
      Setting: Bright, sunny day, comfortable day. Wide open area with sparse deciduous trees; the grass was well kept and green. An open park-like area with a white stone walkway.

      There was a small wood house near the path, I was outside the rear of this house when I gained lucidity. I was with one other person, whom I don't remember well at all. I do remember that this person was all about me being lucid and was down with my lucid shenanigans. I told him I wanted to set the house on fire. He apparently shared my complete disregard for the lives of the DCs inside, agreed, then informed me we didn't have any lighters. With a gleam in my eye I said (hoping to summon one) "Well, I've got one right here in my.. pocket!", reached inside... nothing. 'It's all about willpower' I thought. I remembered there were some shelves just outside the back of the house, so I walked around the corner (we were at the side), blindly reached up to the top shelf, and found a couple lighters. I applied the flame directly to the wood of the exterior of the house, and it caught fire astoundingly easily. I walked around to the side and lit it again. I remember the flame being absolutely gorgeous, but only recall this specifically when I was concentrating on it, trying to set the house on fire. By the time I set the side of the house on fire, the flames were leaping high about the roof from the rear. I then started down the path on foot, taking in all the scenery and verbally commanding the dream to increase lucidity and clarity, it worked.

    9. A Well Deserved Break Part 2...6/2/11(Mid Morning)

      by , 06-02-2011 at 09:23 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      I now successfully DEILD back into the dream.

      Ah, back to the water park with two hot foxes(not real foxes, you know what I mean)! So, we continue our fun at the water park. At one point, we arrive at a very unique water slide. Here's how it works:
      You slide down, then the slide curves upward. As you fly off the slide into the air, there's a rope hanging from an overhead bar. Grab the rope and continue to go forward. Finally, make your epic plunge into the water. The blonde goes down first. Now, the Asian is feeling unsure about this slide. I decide to go down to show her it's not so bad. So, I go down. I then fly up and I have the rope. I now swing forward. Even in my dream I'm scared.
      "This was a mistake!" I'm now swinging back and forth holding on like a total pussy. I now think to myself: What the fucking hell is wrong with me?! This is a dream! Why should I be afraid?! I now notice that I'm slowing down, so I jump and take a plunge. Pretty much, the rest of this dream was me screwing around with these chicks at the water park. I eventually
      awake.

    10. A Well Deserved Break Part 1...6/1/11

      by , 06-02-2011 at 09:13 PM (INeverWakeUp's Super Dream Journal)
      NOTE: I've been working very hard to finish the TOTY. I've done 6 of 12 up to now. Also, my last day of school is tomorrow! So, if I'm lucky, my LD rate will double over break like it did last summer break. But my rate was 4-5 a month last year. Now it's 6-7! Finishing TOTY will be my main priority this summer. I expect to atleast have 10 of 12 done by the time school starts. I will be taking breaks to do personal tasks and the LPTC tasks as well.

      I'm unable to recall when I became lucid, but I'm aware it was at school. So, another MILD to the count. But right now, I am at an outdoor water park. I'm well aware that I'm busy on doing the 300 Spartans TOTY, but I decide I could use a break. Not to mention all the time I'll have this summer(Strongly expressing my note above). So, I see a very hot black-haired Asian chick and a very hot blonde chick. I ask if I can join them. They say yes. From that point, we screw around at the water park. After awhile, I awake. Damn! I'll probably have to get up for school now. No, fuck it. My Dad'll wake me up when he gets back. This whole time I haven't moved or opened my eyes. Time to DEILD back to my fun dream.

    11. I knew I was close ;) First Lucid

      by , 05-19-2011 at 08:43 PM
      Before Dream Notes
      Bed Time: 3AM
      Induction Technique: Believe it or not, a nose pinch RC AND WBTB at 11AM Did a RC with my eyes closed and apparently I was dreaming because I felt the cool air go straight to my nostrils, the best breathe of air I have taken in a long time (Allergies ;p)
      Trigger: Seeing through my eyelids


      The dream starts off by me waking up in my Grandma's house, it was early in the morning and the only people who were up were my Grandma and my parents. I noticed the difference between a lucid dream and a normal dream at this point, I could actually focus on something and see the details, colors, and vividness. I didn't do anything major in this LD I just walked around the house observing what I could actually see and how long I could make it last. I went to the front door and tried to leave the house but the moment I did my Grandma's crabby old boy friend pulled up in a red mustang. I decided I didn't want to go that way.... I went down the hall and then directly left into the first bedroom. I rubbed my hands together and began, the first thing I wanted to do was to summon someone. I remember reading threads about summoning techniques, and I thought putting a blanket over something and then imagining something under it then pulling it away would work. I summoned at least three different people, the first was my friend Nicole second was my friend Nate. Nicole didn't talk when I summoned her she was a failed summon (Sorry Nicole) but when I threw the blanket off the bed and onto the ground and tried to imagine Nate being there it worked! I pulled the blanket off and Nate was under it, he actually talked to me. He was like what the hell put that back on me I'm trying to sleep here. He wasn't very exciting so I erased him with a dream spin, I felt like I had to clean up the room before I left it so that's why I did it, didn't wanna leave a buncha Dream characters sitting around ;p The first time I DS it didn't work except for moving some blankets around, but the second time I did it, it completely cleaned every part of the room (But didn't change the dream scene). I walked out of the room and noticed all of the vivid reds, golds, and green colors all around me.
      I finally did one more Dream Spin and ended up on Division street in Spokane. I rubbed my hands together to make sure the dream wouldn't dissipate and did one more RC, I then got into a dark Gray Jeep that was on the side of the road (There were no other cars on or off the road) started it and went, I already had seen the park I'm talking about in a second but anyway I went towards there. There was a curb to go over so I decided if I sped up I could fly over it, I imagined myself flying 2 feet above it and over it but it was a failed attempt, I just barely got over the curb and then parked on a trail to the park. It was just getting dark out, I traveled along the path until I saw a park then I walked over some red colored bark on a trail to get there. All of the sudden I hear people screaming, two little kids run by me because someone was chasing them. It doesn't phase me I keep walking into the park when one of the 'chasers' runs past me to catch up to the other two. I finally walk up to the park (It's like a park in Renton, near where I used to live huge field with very green grass. The playground has a whole jungle gym on it, slides, swings, and everything. There is also reddish bark filling the playground area not rocks like in most places), there is a skinny depressed looking girl standing under a huge oak tree. She has jet-black hair and green eyes, I ask her ,"What's the matter why did you scare those kids like that?" She said ,"I don't know I hate doing it *She begins to cry*, I just hate making people feel that way I destroyed all of those kids belongings and then had my brother chase them off." I gave advice ,"Maybe you should go to a store each day and buy one thing for a random person instead of hurting people by ruining their stuff." Then she got all happy and thanked me, she also said she is definitely going to do this.


      That was the end of my first lucid dream, I think it was a very good start. I got an idea on how they work now, and what I need to improve on. This was not expected to happen in the morning, it was supposed to happen at night so I didn't really have a plan on what to do in a lucid.

    12. Link and the colonial mansion.

      by , 05-07-2011 at 10:49 AM (Visions in the Dark)
      (There is a "trigger warning" on the content of this dream.)


      I cannot remember the beginning of this dream but the main character is Link from the Ledgend of Zelda series, but instead of a green tunic he is wearing jeans, t-shirt and a black leather jacket. He is also carrying a dark blue napsack over his sholder and does not have a sword. It is night and Link is walking through a small town that looks abandoned. All the lights are out and there are no cars or people on the streets. The houses and buildings lining the street are completely dark and even the street lamps are out. The only source of light is the full moon.


      The town gives way to a huge parkspace with many trees and cobblestone paths. In the very center of the park is a colonial mansion sitting in from of a large stone fountain. Link is drawn towards the colonial mansion because there are lights burning on the bottom floor and he thinks it may not be abandoned like the rest of the town seems to be.

      As Link approaches the house he sees a young woman standing alone near the corinthian pillars at the house's front facade. Suddenly a black van comes speeding up to the house's driveway and stops right in front of the fountain. A heavy built, beaded man jumps out of the van and grabs the young woman and throws her down on the ground. The hairy man undos his pants and tries to rape the young woman but Link jumps in and hits the man with his napsack. The young woman runs away as Link kicks the rapist in the head a few times. The hairy man crawls back into his van and tries to drive away but crashes his van into the fountain, causing water to flood the mansion's driveway.

      Link can suddenly hear many voices coming from inside the house, as well as rock music, and follows the sounds to a large room where many people are sitting around little tables drinking beer while a live band plays in the back. It actually looks like Link has just stepped into a seedy bar of somekind, the only difference being the large bay windows that look out over the park.

      There is a man in a dark suit of great importance at the largest table, surrounded by body guards and gyrating women, and he signals to Link to join him at the table. They have a conversation but I cannot remember what was said now, though near the end I vaguely remember Link telling the other man that he does not want to be enemies anymore and is just trying to get along with him, or something.

    13. Dark Magic in the Park and Fragment (May 1, 2011, Dream 1)

      by , 05-03-2011 at 03:33 AM (Chronicles of Ethos)
      General Text Dream Lucid Awake

      I could remember 3 dreams and 1 fragment this night. My dreams also didn't skip around scenes that much. Sadly the the first one is kind of a nightmare. I can at least laugh at it a little now though.

      Dark Magic in the Park

      The first dream of the night started with me standing on the sidewalk. In front of me was a large metal gate to the park. The dream started out pretty peaceful and normal (if you can call it that). I walked through the gate and I noticed a rhino and a lion standing at the side of the gate. "Hi Bull. Hi Tigger." I said to them casually. "Have fun at the park!" Bull told me.

      The park was mostly just a large open area of grass. There were also some trees, a few benches, some people, and a lot of squirrels running around. As I walked into the center of the park, I noticed a small hill with stone steps leading up to the top. When I reached the top of the hill, I saw quite a few people in red ceremonial robes, making a circle around a large rock. I think there were about 8-10 of them. As I approached them, they sensed my presence, and one man shouted, "Quick! Cast the spell now!"

      The sky dimmed a little, the rock started to glow, and I can only describe the feeling of it as evil. I ran back and ducked down behind the hill. There was a Japanese lady hiding behind the hill too. She was trying to protect a little girl. I realized that there were other people at the park in danger other than myself. I climbed back over the hill and yelled, "Stop the ritual!" As soon as I said this, one of the women in the group stared at me blankly. She reached out her hand towards me. She whispered, "Die..." A lightning bolt crashed down right in front of me. The blast sent me flying back to the bottom of the hill.

      The wind started to pick up, I could hear thunder, and there was lightning flashing in the sky. I heard one of the women in the group scream, "It's too powerful!" Another woman shouted, "We lost control of the spell!" I got back up and looked back over the hill again. "Uh oh..." Said one of the men in the group. I think I even heard one say, "lol wut?" I saw another flash in the sky and I made time slow down. A lightning bolt was slowly coming down right at the stone. I dived back down over the hill. I then heard an explosion fallowed by screams. So now the cultists were dead and they left us with storm of chaos. I looked back at the lady and little girl from earlier, but a orange lightning bolt hit the lady. She was able to protect the little girl, but she was erased from existance. I then decided to grab the girl and get away from the park.

      I started to run to the other side of the park, but orange lightning bolts were landing behind me and creating mini nuclear explosions. "Faster! Faster!" I started to say to myself to boost speed. The squirrels from earlier had red eyes now, and they started to bite at my legs. "Ow! Ow! Damn it! Ouch!" I continued to run though and then they were all killed by lightning bolt. This made me pick up speed and scream like a girl... "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" I approached the gate, but Bull and Tigger had red eyes and blocked my exit. "BULL!" (lol dream pun?) Even though there was a rhino and an oversized lion blocking the way I ran towards them anyways. I don't remember what happened from that point on.


      Fragment


      I was standing on the street with another Japanese woman. She was a news reporter, and I was told she was deaf. Although I was told she was deaf, in the dream I couldn't hear anything. She started to interview me. I was somehow able to guess what she was saying even though I was deaf. Sadly she was speaking Japanese and it was too fast for me to translate.

      I remember waking up after the fragment. I rolled over and wrote down a few notes about the dream in my journal. Thinking about the dream and the fragment started to confuse me so I just went back to sleep.

      My Thoughts on this Dream

      Ok so the rhino's name was Bull and the lion's name was Tigger? I guess those can be linked somehow...

      What can we learn from this? Lightning and explosions hurt, little furry creatures can never be trusted, and evil cultists are stupid.

      A question also just came to mind. How did the cultists get away with dark magic, in a public park, and in the middle of the day?

    14. Strange farm

      by , 04-10-2011 at 01:34 PM
      I was sitting in my cousins house speaking to a guy called when i phoned my other friends and they invited me to go up to their house, We got ready and my dad told me he had found my drink stash.. (dont know why i was so worried because I'm allowed to drink?) then i got paranoid and went to the hall and pulled off a towel from the table to reveal lots of bottles of wine and beer, some where opened and empty.
      We met my friends then we were walking to the park and we decided to pass into a farm to take pictures, we went in and the animals were really weird, they looked like giraffes with two heads, they were all fenced in a small area with a wooden fence with non-barbed wires. When we climbed the fence one of the girls said to the other one "your not beautiful, your only cute because you have a small face" and she kept repeating this to her, she seemed quite upset by this, I butted in and said it was lies. We carried on and took pictures of the animals and I took pictures of my friends standing next to the animals when the farmer came out, who happened to be the dad of my friend, and he asked me if i wanted to work on the farm, I said yes as he offered me £6.10 per hour. My friends went away to the park and said i've to meet them there later. I went inside the house and it was really jakey looking, the wall paper was all ripped and it was the same through-out most the house, I climbed the wooden stairs that kept creaking and there were 3 floors, I got changed and got my equipment and then went out to work.
      (cant remember what I done as work)
      I realized it was getting late so decided to find the farmer to ask if I can finish my shift and get payed, but he was out for dinner with his wife. I went to the house next door and it was my other friends and she offered me a lift to the park, we got in a bit massive golden hummer and she drove for a bit and I checked my phone and it was 12:00 at night, she then told me that my clock was wrong and i looked again and it was actually 20:20. Then she drove through a fence and into an alleyway, I said this isn't the park and she said sorry and reversed out and drove me to the park. I got there and everyone was there that I knew so I got out and spoke to a few people then the dream ended and I woke up...

    15. The Race Car Garage

      by , 04-06-2011 at 06:45 PM (The Lab Notebook)
      Awake, Non-lucid, Semi-lucid, [Commentary made while awake]

      I'm at the park in the neighborhood where Houses #1 and #2 are. I'm in a building in the park that houses a snack bar. There are various types of junk food available for sale, and there's a young man staffing the snack bar. I talk to him, saying something like, “It's nice to see this snack bar open! I've lived here since I was one and a half, and this is the first time I've ever seen this place staffed.”

      I go into a back room of the same building. There are a whole bunch of little kids there, and I'm supposed to give them a speech, explaining about some kind of event that's going on. I climb up on top of the bed, stand on it, and speak very haltingly. I'm sleepy, so I go to sleep in one of the beds that's in that back room.

      I'm in an underground garage, where racing cars are getting ready for a race. Each one starts out from a different parking space in the garage and drives up one of several ramps to get out onto the outdoor, ground-level race track. I stand close to one of the pillars, afraid that one of the cars will run me over if I get in the way.
      There are some other people standing around in the garage, and I try to ask them how to get out. I try to shout to make myself heard over the noise of the car engines, but they drown out my voice.

      After all the cars are gone, the people answer my question. They give me directions up and out of the underground garage and into a garden. They tell me to climb on top of this boxy wooden frame thing and balance there, while holding a potted plant with bright red flowers on top of a long stem. I do so. The people and I start singing a little song, the last line of which is, “I'll spontaneously combust!” I know that this is what will happen when I reach the end of the song, but I'm not afraid, because I know that that's how I'm going to get out of this place and back to the real world.

      Indeed, right before I reach the last syllable of the last word, I suddenly can't see anything, and I feel a sensation come over my entire body. It doesn't feel like being burned with fire, though;
      it's the pins-and-needles feeling of random feedback from nerve endings. I find that I've woken up.
