7th lucid dream, losing control and ..Spiders? (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Tonight, I had alot of false awekenings (if you can call it that), where i would wake up in my bed, and just go back to sleep, unless ofcourse, I do a reality check.

I woke up in my bed, and imidiatly noticed something seemed "off", I then counted my fingers, plugged my nose, and boom. Lucid!

I got up from the bed, and quickly gathered my thoughts.
I remembered that if I got over excited, I would wake up. So I chilled out for a sec, and then looked at my hands again. I tried clarifying, but it somehow didn't really work as intended. It got clearer, but nothing like my other LD's. I then remembered, that I had heard on DreamViews, that some people through them self out of windows, if they want to "kickstart" their LD, and it seemed like a good idea. I went over there, and opened one of my windows. I tried going through the open window, but the opening was too small. I looked out of the open window, and stared at the sky. It was fucking amazing. The sun was getting up, wich made the whole sky kind of orange/red. The garden was also wird, and even though I didn't seem to notice in the dream, I remember now. It was Not my garden, and I don't think I've ever seen it before. It was a little area with grass, and a nice fluffy hedge around it.

Anyway, I then opened a new window, and tried climbing out of that, that was too small too. I then tried opening a THIRD window, but when I got it open, guess what I saw. A giant fucking spider, sitting right in the top of the window opening. I was noping pretty hard, and I think this is where I lost control.

I then tried several other windows, but they where all filled with spiders.

funny thing, even though the dream was filled with spiders, I wasn't scared at all, I just found it annoying, because I wanted to go out the window. It wasn't a nightmare, just a little annoying, wich is weird, because if it happened in real life, I'd be noping so hard...

I then looked around, and was suddenly in some basement. It was a mix of my dad's basement, and something I've dreamt about before. I was still trying to find a window to jump out of, but I got lost in the basement. Finnaly my brother came by, because he needed to use the toilet, and he showed me the way back to the room. When I got there, there was spiders on my bed, and I just kind of stoof there, thinking "wtf do I do...?". So I woke myself up, and started writing this .

IN CONCLUSION:
I need to read some tutorials on how to take/keep control of the dream, once you are finnaly in there.
This is the last dream I've ruined, because I couldn't take/keep control. My next dream will be so god damn awesome, just wait!

Non-Dream Dream

I recalled bits and pieces from 2 dreams last night:

Dream 1: I was a feared and highly respected baseball player (especially batting).

Dream 2:

I am driving out to a farm in Moorpark in my Dad's truck. I end up at a big party and my boss, RL, is there looking like a grape spider (a purple grape with 8 legs). Other spiders are trying to mate with him so I want to hide him safely in an aquarium (?!?). There is a surgeon at the party and he helps me open the top of the aquarium but the glass broke and hurt someones hand.

Ok to get the full understanding of how truly terrifying this dream was you must know when I was a kid I had a horrible fear of two things, Vampires and Spiders. I hated the site if blood and I had a fear of death by bleeding to death. Spiders and Vampires fed this fear. Also keep in mind this was a time before Vampires sparkled (I don't hate Twilight, just it did not depict what I imagine vampires to be like) I Was young at the time eight or nine I think.

So My dream started out right after my aunt got married to this new guy my step uncle. In my dream this guy was was rich. He owned a huge mansion and the after wedding party was outside in front of this mansion. This was a "Grown Up" Party and me and my younger brother and older sister had to stay in side. In my dream I get this really bad feeling about my new uncle. No one shares this feeling. Us three are inside and my sister is going on about a basketball court that inside the mansion. My brother runs off and the next time I see him he is in a bathing suit. I follow him to the bathroom where I find a huge bathtub that looks like a hot-tub. My brother jumps in and is having fun. I head off to find my sister who is in the basketball court she was talking about shooting hoops. We play a game of HORSE and shes laughing and we are having a good time. Then I decide to go check on my little brother.
I walk down the hall and as I do so It's seems to get a bit darker. I here this laugh echo through the hall and I stop and Look around but there's no one there. Being a little freaked out I quicken my pace and almost run to the bathroom. I stop at the door. It's cracked open. I hear no sound from inside and get this horrible feeling like a wave of dread. I slowly open the door, and the world seemed to come to a stop when I saw the horrific scene lay out before me. (Remember I'm eight when I had this dream) The floor is soaked in a mixture of blood and water. There is blood all over the walls and the bathtub water is dark red. The lights are dimmed and the whole thing looks like a scene pulled from a horror film. Then my eyes fall on my six year old brother who is floating face down in the bath. The walls seem to bend and the feeling of shock goes over me. I shack my self away from tunnel vision and run to my brother but slip and slosh blood water all over me. I pull him from the water and lie him right side up on the ground. It looks like some one took a razor and went insane on him. There are deep slashes all over him. I shake him but he is long gone. Then I hear foot step. Some one was coming. The step sounded like that person was wearing fancy shoes like the one you wear with a Tux. I hear that laughing again. Becoming scared for my own life I set my dead brother down and look for escape. I see a window and go for it. It takes a minute to get it open and pull my self through. As I throw myself through it I turn my view back to the door and and standing in the door frame is my Uncle. He has this awful grin on his face. Then I fall outside into a hedge.
I craw my way through the hedge and make my way to the "Grown Up" Party. I see my grandma and run to her. I frantically try and explain about my brother and Uncle and such but for some reason believes I'm just playing pretend to get attention. She and everyone else seems completely oblivious to the fact I'm covered in blood. She practically shoves me inside and shuts the door leaving me alone once again in the mansion.
I stand there for a second unsure what to do next. Then I thought of my big sis and made a run for the basketball count( I always depend on my sister when bad stuff happens, ever since I can remember she was always the one who knew just what to do. I suppose Big Sister are made that way ) So I'm quite sure my sister will save me.
When I get to the court and walk in the first thing I notice is it's dark. There is only one light and It's shining down on my sister. She is one her knees and holding her head. Her hair is messed up. (Before I go farther my sister is afraid of clowns...ya her nemesis) I run up to and ask her whats wrong. She responds quite darkly "There everywhere....." I look around and see nothing. She suddenly stands and screams "LEAVE ME ALONE YOU STUPID CLOWNS!!!!!" She starts really yelling and freaking out then drops to the ground and starts failing. Then stops and lays in the fetal position shaking. I'm completely shocked and don't know what to do. Then the light shuts off.
The door on the other side I came into the gym opened. Light came from the other room giving enough light to see. There stood my uncle with the same smile. He took a step forward and stepped back. He glanced over at my sister and laughed. I yelled "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!" His eyes narrow but the smile remains. "Nothing much," he replied "I made her see what she fears most. I take another step back "How!? What are you?!" His smile gets wider "I'm a vampire and as such I can do many things, like make people see what I want them to and much more." I take this all in and say "Why?..." "Because your family is in the way. I only got close to your aunt to get access to you. Your not like everyone else and once you are are my apprentice you will become a valuable resource." I get really angry at this. "I'll never be your apprentice!" He takes another step forward " You won't have a choice once you become a Vampire. But if you insist on resisting me then I'll be glad to show you the alternative"
The shadows around me started to take shape. The formed spiders. Some were huge but there was also a swarm of small spiders forming on the ground but the billions. They were mostly black widows with red eyes. They were forming all around me. The swarm of small ones got to me first and started to come up my legs. They began biting me and I yelled in pain and began frantically swatting them off. I started yelling, "It's not real, It cant be real!" The vampire just smiled and said "But it hurt non the less and if I wanted these "non-real" spiders could easily rip you to bits but don't worry, I don't want to kill you. Just say the word and there be gone. " I looked him in the eyes and replied "It's never going to happen." Then I dashed for the door.
I ran out of the gym.. billions of spiders followed and they were still forming from all the shadows in the mansion. I ran down the hall and came to a door way that led to a stairway that spiraled strait up. I ran up the stairs. Spiders were every where and only inches behind me. I heard the vampires voice. "You can't run." I kept going and came to a opening to outside. I was standing on a tower hundreds of feet in the air. The spiders swarmed out of the opening but stopped before me. I was trapped. Out of the swarm came my uncle. He still had the same evil grin. "I told you. Now join me." I looked up with a very bad ass face and said "And I told you! NEVER! I would rather die!" With that I let myself fall backwards from the tower. The last thing I saw was him looking down at me falling. His smile was gone and he had a "she really did it" look on his face. Then everything went dark.
I wake up (In my dream) and I'm laying in a field and it's night. I sit up and look to my right and there is my uncle...smiling. I sigh with defeat and look up at the sky. The moon is huge. I lay down and say "What now?"

That's all I remember, I woke up shortly afterwards.

Ya this dream freaked me out as a kid and I thought for sure vampires were after me.

DILD

I was in an electronics store with my brother, going through the video games. We found the PS2 version of Crash Team Racing and we were playing that. Eventually we left with my dad and we drove down the road somewhere. I ended up entering this big apartment complex by myself. In the lobby, there is this girl hanging out who seems to be in charge. She asks if I want a room and I say yes. I look over and there is a giant blanket fort like 20 X 20 ft. The place seems like a youth group meeting place where people live temporarily.

She asked what type of room I wanted. They had a corner room, a room with a window, and a regular one. I felt bad going for the best one but I said, "I mean, it would be nice to have a window." The place looks pretty grungy. We start to head to the back. I look at the wall and it is covered is spiders! And so is the next corner, and the next wall. I try to stand in the middle of the hallway to avoid contact with any walls. I really don't want to live here anymore.

We eventually head up to the room. It has a large mattress in the middle of it. I somehow become lucid and start having sex with one of the girls. We are on the bed surrounded by a few people now. I am doing her from behind, and she has a tribal looking tramp stamp. I lose the dream but DEILD back into it. This lasts for a few more minutes before I wake up for good.

NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·
I am hanging from the high ceiling beams of a large, abandoned building, a heavy camera in the right pocket of my bulky jacket. I am trying to save vital footage, but the large, spindly spiders under me clamber on top of each other to reach me. I, in exhaustion, let go and and consumed into the masses of spiders below. I feel spindly legs all over me and think that I am about to die, when I realise that I'm not going to give up without a fight. I jump up and kick off my attackers as I wade and run over to the lady on the other side of the room. Suddenly one side of the large room is open, and the sea tide comes into the building. Under the moonlit, dark sky, the spiders wash away as I see a man with an odd oval, spherical and opaque golden yellow head rushing in and out with the tide. I join the creature in the water, feeling the gentle ebb of the waves and I am almost pulled in.
---
I go to another room where there is a Mcdonalds. I buy two single fries after I borrow a 3 pound worth Mastercard.
I meet Naruto, less anime and more realistically, and we talk.
Suddenly, as I sit at a table an old, wise couple walk up to me and ask me if I am dreaming.
I attempt to push my hand through a wall, but fail so I deny the thought.
---
Cathy is performing a song to the old couple on a Songbird ocarina. It looks odd, with odd fingerings and no sound comes out. It looks beautiful however, an angelic ceramic white. I try to play 'everybody wants to be a cat' from Aristocats, but fail. Adina plays my plastic STL ocarina for the couple as I attempt to play Greensleeves on Cathy's.

I was sitting in what was supposed to be my car (but it looked more like a large, more spacious van), and I started seeing black widow spiders. They were on the floor, door, by the pedals, etc. I kept trying to step on them. I was worried that I would get bitten.

I was in science class, and we were learning about spiders. Since I'm arachniphobic, I couldn't even look at the pages in the textbook. I was standing away from the desk trying not to look at the book. Someone asked of I was okay, and I replied "yeah." But then my teacher brought out some spiders. He even took them outside the container. I was really scared by now, and he was coming around showing them to everyone, right in his hand. Then he DROPS them. The biggest one and the fastest one. I ran to the back of the room, and half of it turned into nonna's house. He keeps assuring me that there's nothing to be afraid of, but I couldn't just sit there. I saw the small, fast spider climb the wall and I jumped back. then I woke up.

Woke up abruptly because of the end of the dream, but it kinda killed the recall....had at least two dreams....don't remember much from the first.

I remember being at some place...like a mall or something with Oneironaut, but I was about to take off. Some black girl in a grey skirt and heels with long curly hair approached me and asked if I saw him. I said yeah, but I don't know where he's at. Apparently she wanted me to hook her up with him, and she was asking how often I saw him. I obviously had a hard time figuring that out, because I don't hang with the guy. Something else happens, and I'm meeting up with Limitless to eat dinner. We're going to some underground hole in the wall type place because both of us were bored. The guy who was serving us was flirting with her hard, and she didn't care. I was just thinking "damn I gotta tell TheUnknown about this".

from here I think i woke up

I'm in what should be the kitchen of that building talking with a bunch of people, and everyone is discussing who's been there the longest. One guy has been there since 06 when we thought he was there longer. They were also asking me if I knew anyone else who could work there. (I think this was sort of like my warehouse job...but I didn't recognize anyone).

Recall get's jacked up here

I'm near a lake, and everything looks cartoonish. There's an alligator chasing some people so fast that the water in that area dries up. All of a sudden a leaf falls out of the sky, and I now have the Tanooki suit. Not much room to run around here, so I decided to run in the improvised road way from the now dry land. I heard the max speed noise and jumped up, and I could feel my tail propelling me up skyward. Down below I could see the water returning in the lake, and the alligator as well. As I floated towards the ground, he was shadowing my path to get his next meal. I stopped my tail, and dropped to the ground immediately. The alligator was in hot pursuit, and I ran in hopes to get enough speed to fly again, but failed. This swamp is looking super realistic now, and the water is so murky....."shit, he may be in there". I backed off and kept heading around it. There were all these the trees were covered with webbing and had banana spiders all in them. Every web I broke, had then crawling upwards into the tree tops. It's too silly to turn around now, but dang....there's no telling if any of these other spiders are nonvenomous. I saw a really big green one and I didn't know what it was....then a big red one. Then the trees started looking like spiders themselves. "REALLY!?" I woke myself up.

dream : comments : lucid

17th of January, 2012

Had some failed lucidness early in the night.
I was sleeping and Nooks woke me up saying "it's 9pm, time to wake up!" I was all "Why the shit would you be waking me up at 9pm?" at which point she proceeded to start putting fish on my feet. By that stage I was all "nup, this is stupid, this is obviously a false awakening" and when I did my hand-check I mustn't have been deep enough into the dream and the movement actually woke me up for real. Almost immediately after that I went back to sleep and back into a dream. Not quite a WILD, but I was almost instantly aware. Quasi DEILD, perhaps. Again I was lying asleep except I was a bit deeper in and was this time at a beach. I was in the sand when I woke up again. Did a RC and wasn't dreaming. God damn it!
Back asleep again and THIS time I was still at the beach but could really feel the sand and water. I focussed on sinking into the sand so as to stimulate my senses a bit and really tried focusing on Nooks' face to become hyper-aware. It all sort of worked but then the dream began to fade and I couldn't get it back. Ah well. Close.

-----

I was at some dodgy apartment block and was meeting all the neighbours.

-----

I was at a birthday party and drinking champagne. Some hippie type girls offered me LSD which I accepted. The acid was on these plastic strips that had different phrases printed on them. The one I took said “Spiders in your mouth”. I half dissolved the strip and suddenly realised I didn’t want to be tripping on acid and remember that it said anything about spiders being in my mouth so I spat it out and asked for another one, which they didn’t let me have. I wanted the one that said "Ice cream".

We went outside where people were drinking and partying in the back yard and I hung around drinking my champagne and having a good time. Presently, I looked up into the sky and was struck with awe. The moon was enormous but different. It was covered in gigantic ice crystals- all perfectly formed like giant snowflakes. The arms of the crystals spread out far into the sky, about twice the diameter of the moon itself. I was totally blown away and ran screaming to the other people to come and have a look. When they came over the crystals had begun dropping off and falling through space towards us. While they fell, they broke into smaller pieces and snowed down on us as snowflakes the size of dinner plates. It was a beautiful experience and I remember turning to Nooks and asking if it was the acid or if it was really happening and she just smiled and nodded before catching one. It was nice.

Later on there was something to do with hot air ballooning in a cave and finding magic mushrooms. That lead into my family having issues with a neighbour shooting arrows into our yard. The neighbour became one of my younger brothers who stabbed one of my other brothers with an arrow and when we told him we would call the police on him he suddenly became really cute and baby-faced. I asked him to apologise and when he did he became a manchild with a seedy ass beard and looked totally creeper. He started apologising in this weird rhyming slang and I decided I hated him.

-----

Aliens invaded in cool space/aquatic ships. They were all spiky and black. As they landed in the water, huge waves flooded large parts of the city and the street we were on was suddenly awash with buses coming towards us. We narrowly avoided being crushed by the sliding buses and ran up a hill into a park. There, some people offered me cheese and I said, in a very posh voice “no... quite alright thank you” which they scoffed at. I asked if they’d prefer a more bogan approach and said “aw, fuckin’ aliens and shit invading, hey!” then left. We went into a house that had a smaller house inside it and I climbed onto the smaller house’s roof. All of a sudden I realised my teeth were loose and they began to fall out and break apart.

Didn’t do a dream check because apparently I’m an idiot and don’t recognise my own dream signs.
Anyway, I woke up shortly afterwards.

I remember having this little dream as I was waking up. I was looking in this plastic container for something. It was mostly opaque, but the sun was shining on the side of it and making the inside light up some. There was a little dirt in the bottom. I leaned closer so I could see what else was in it. Suddenly I saw a big black widow right there. It startled me and I woke up.

Wow, I really need to go to bed less distracted if this MILD thing is ever going to work for me. My mind was working on too many things to stay concentrated on the visualization or mantra, so my dreams ended up being a direct manifestation of what I had been thinking over...and not about the mantra

1) I was in Israel for a friend's wedding. Never actually saw the ceremony; I was dropped into the dream right after it ended. As I was walking away, somehow I ended up talking to a Jewish girl and we hit it off pretty well. After we'd talked a little while I told her I had to go, and then turned and woke up...

Dream Signs: being somewhere without remembering getting there, being around people (particularly groups of people)

2) ...into a false awakening. I got up and was just about to walk out the door when I saw a big spider laying curled up on the ground. "Oh, I didn't think I'd actually killed that one last night. Guess it didn't get away after all." I was just walking past it when suddenly the spider sprung back into life and shot up into the air, simultaneously growing several times its original size. I tried to escape it, but it came down on my head and startled me awake, for real this time.

Dream Signs: FA (should have made me RC...but I didn't ), highly unusual events

3) When I fell back asleep, I was back in Israel picking up roughly where the last dream had left off. I had only one more day before leaving from my visit to see the wedding, so I was going around with a couple members of my family who were there with me and we just enjoyed ourselves (and I kept looking for a restroom in the dream because IRL I had to pee ). Somehow I ran across that same girl and her family, and we got to talking again briefly. Before I knew it, we were talking on the phone as I was heading to the airport to leave. It seemed like things might actually work out with this girl, so of course I didn't want to leave, but I was literally getting dragged away by my family, so I just had to say goodbye and wake up.

Dream Signs: being somewhere without remembering getting there, romance

Oct. 21, 2011-
Dream 1-
I was in the library with a bunch of kids. There had been a sign outside that has said something like, “If you don’t want to read, feel free to take a nap instead.” One of the librarians decided to show me and the kids the children’s rooms, which had beds and a bunch of stuffed animals in them. I forget one, but the other had some stuffed animals sitting in a circle, one of which I had a sentimental relationship with, and it was holding a small doll with numbers (two and three?) on it. I think it was the doll I had the sentimental relationship with, and I kept trying to hug it. Then, the librarian asked me if I wanted to see my room, and I said yes. One of the kids asked how come I got to have my own room in the library, and I thought but didn’t say that it was because my mom helped build it. My room was painted dark blue, with “I believe in magic” and some magic-related thing painted below it. It had a bunch of trees with shiny glowing yellow lights, like fireflies, on the wall. Abby then saw something and said, “we should save the spiders!” Turns out the spiders were two actual spiders coming out from a tree. I have no idea how this was possible, as the trees were painted on a wall.

Dream 2-
I was back in time, in my fifth grade class. Kids were cutting giant pieces of cardboard. My teacher was saying that once we were ready for class to start to raise our hands, which a lot of kids didn’t. I did, though. Then I saw a girl from my current school sitting next to me, and I hugged her and asked why she was here. She said she was only visiting.

Dream 3-
This dream was back in the library. Maybe it was a continuation of Dream 1. But anyway, this evil person had something called “InstaFreeze,” and would spray it on someone to freeze them. It looked like a computer game when she did so. There were a bunch of light blue squares in a grid, then lines went through them and crystals began to appear. As the person froze, yellow sparks would appear on the crystals, which caused me intense empathetic pain. I tried to close my eyes, but they were still there. Then she froze me, and I saw the same thing, but it didn’t hurt at all.

Dream 4-
My mom pulled into a parking lot and left me and my autistic sister there in the car as she went to get something. The parking lot attendant was in charge of us. Mom had been teaching my sister and I to write (we were both really young) and the attendant asked to see what we were writing. I showed her mine and my sister’s and she asked to play with us. We played, and I didn’t tell her my sister was autistic because Mom told me not to.

08-09-11 I am standing in a tent on field. The field is filled with dandelions and I am starting to tear up the flowers with root and I do this quite frantically. Eventually other people start joining in until there are no flowers left. However as I go along I start pulling them up less careful about getting all of the root up.

When there are almost no flowers left I start noticing that the earth is moving and that the empty holes are crippling with spiders. I don't get to dwell on this thought as the next I know I find myself under the water in the ocean near the bottom.

I look up behind me and notice a sea snake being dropped into the water by an unknown entity. I start swimming towards the top and I don't know if I am kicking through the snake(s) or not. When I get to the top I find myself close to the shore of a beautiful beach.

It is high sunshine and I am wearing a wetsuit and am carrying a surf board. I have never surfed before, but I manage to catch a pipe (don't know if this is what it is called in surfer terms) on my first ever attempt, which the person with me considers quite the achievement.

I start feeling ill and I fall off the board and find myself in a living room right next to a door out to the hallway. Behind me there is a short haired girl who grabs me around the waist. I am in a different perspective and punch my own chest to start CPR. The perspective shifts back and I shout for someone to call the hospital. Someone runs into the hallway to do this.

The girl pulls me to the floor and Shane of Weeds is standing over me to continue the CPR.

My vision starts fading to grey and I am loosing it, but I hear a voice that tells me to stay here, relax and breathe. After a while my vision starts returning to normal and as I am looking up at one of my living room plants it gradually becomes green again.

After a while longer I can sit up and I look down my leg and notice a large circle. It isn't red and the bite marks from the snake have already healed up. However now we know that we are dealing with a cobra strike and I or someone else shout out into the hallway that the person getting help should tell this.
…

Notes: I remember having two more dreams after this one related to it, though without the nightmare themes. However upon waking up this morning they seem to have vanished from memory.
…

I am in Holland and going into a shop to buy some weed. Someone is with me and I think I am the experienced one and need to show them how it is done.

I walk over to the counter and tell the guy I need the weakest most mellow product he has. He immediately walks to the hash counter and tells his associate to service me.

His associate start dishing out this pink goo onto the counter and explains that this is the most mellow he has. Then the first guy comes over and tells the associate that it wasn't what I asked for that I needed something with a bit more fly to it. He starts pouring some brownish goo onto the counter. Then the associate asks me what I am after, most mellow or something with fly and I quickly explain just mellow.

We all laugh and I think I buy some of the pink stuff.

Skip.

Outside the shop, which looks more like a garage on the outside I run into some shady businesmen who are looking for 2 Pac. As they explain this he appears on the other side of the street wearing a long business like coat looking nothing gangster like at all.

I stop and think to myself that he is dead and that all the conspiracy theorists that predicted his return must have been right. I think to myself that either he came back in 2007 or we are actually in 2007 right now.

The reason they want to talk to him is because he has developed something and the dream shifts into a camera chasing him as he is running through a garden. In the centre of the garden is his invention. It is a crystal that emits some sort of high frequency sound/light combination. This invention has the possibility of performing any know surgery non-invasive.

However it seems like it is overloading and hence 2 Pac and his assistant are running to get to cover. All the while this crystal is pulsing emitting this crystal like sound-light combination. There is loads of colours in this pulse, which is quite sharply contrasted by the grey clouds in the sky.
…

I am in a Sims like situation a person is telling me that he has never seen the stars. I sort of force him to do this. He replies that he has seen them on Youtube, which I find ridiculous.

I run up on a mountain that apparently is the highest location nearby and phone him and tell him he should get up there as there is absolutely no light pollution what so ever.

Besides I am standing right next to Mount Everest and I don't think it would be particularly difficult to reach the top of that either.

Skip.

On a beach now still with the same mission in mind though it is daytime and he will have to wait a while. Another person/Sim is there and he has the trait that he is easily burned and will have to return for sun lotion all the time.

The parents voice sort of explain that he will have to stop playing with me because of this. There are loads of other persons that assemble around me.

I follow the easily burned guy into the house, one of his arms is really red and he is whimpering. He gets sun lotion applied and there is a bar that measures his degree of burntness that goes down with applications of this lotion.

In the house I explain that he needs a hardcore lotion, maybe like one of those for babies and all of a sudden I am in a shop that sells sun lotion, after sun, sun tan amplifier and soap. Among other things the shop also sells katanas relatively cheap.

The shop is run by WakingNomad and he tries to charge me 500 dollars for little test samples in blue bottles. I am annoyed that he charges this much because I know the protection they offer to be exactly what I am looking for, but it is stupidly expensive. I mean the bottles are like the size of small shot bottles.
…

Swimming with the family along the shore of a nice beach in high sunshine.
…

With the family in a house. There are two dogs that keep jumping into the lap of my dad and uncle.

My dreaming has been off. I have been out of town several times recently including a week in Phoenix this last week. The one dream I really remember was one that included a dream sign that I should have picked up on, but I didn't.

Dream:

I was following several people into this cave. I could feel my legs brush past all these spider webs. I was wearing shorts. I shined my light on the webs and could see that the whole cave was covered with spider webs to about hip level. At first I thought that they were just little house spiders. I was going to just tough it out and plow right through them. Then I realized that they were probably the big orb web spiders I had seen when I was kayaking outside of the cave. Of course it would be the same kind of spiders. With that thought I started to panic. I wanted to run, but I was surrounded by spiders. No matter which way I went I would have to go through spiders.


This dream was inspired by that kayaking trip a few weeks ago where the tamarisk trees were just covered with huge numbers of fat orb web spiders.

Dream 1:

I was about to go on this date to this very fancy restaurant. I was wearing a beautiful formal dress that was black and white. My date was due to arrive in 10 minutes.

But then I looked in the mirror and to my horror saw that my hair was really messy. I could tell that I hadn't washed it for days. There wasn't time for a full shower so I ran to the bathroon sink to quickly wash my hair.

But the next thing I know is that I am doing a herbal hair treatment (like I sometimes do in real life). My hair was slimy and green from all the cooked herbs that I had rubbed in. I wondered why in the world I would have started something like that. I was supposed to leave that in my hair for an hour. I only had five minutes left. I also realized that I wasn't even supposed to shampoo immediately after rinsing the herbs out. What had I been thinking? I needed to rinse the herbs out fast. So I started rinsing and rinsing, But every time I looked at myself in the mirror, my hair was still full of green herbs and even things that looked like cooked carrots. Since the rinsing wasn't working I started to try to comb out all the herbs, but nothing seemed to be working. I could hear my date in the next room. I knew I was running very late. I didn't know if the herbs would ever come out of my hair.

Dream 2:

I walked outside my dorm and could see all these fat orb web spiders all over the sidewalk. I knew that someone had moved these over here from somewhere else. I felt upset since I knew some would eventually get inside of my dorm.

[This spider dream was triggered by all the orb web spiders I saw on my kayaking trip last week. The water in lake powell has been rising and all the sipders living in the tamarkis trees are being forced to the few high ones left, and those are literally covered with big fat orb web spiders. It was fascinating and freaky at the same time.]

Dream 3:

I was wearing new socks. They were just like my grey ones, except these were purple.
