TangaNdoto's Dream Journal

Alright. First off, I'd just like to say that these titles are getting progressively more ridiculous, and that I am well aware of the fact. However, they're actually pretty accurate. This dream was a type of battle royale dream and Sawyer was in it as well. Why have I been dreaming about so many male celebrities recently? I don't know. I swear to God I'm not trying. But think about it. So far, I have had Tom Cruise and Josh Holloway ( I saw Sawyer because it looked like his clothes were dirty and all the other fashion that takes place on a nearly deserted island).
Ok. Let's go on with the actual dream.
Now I'm going to completely change topics and start with what I assume has to actually be before the battle royal part of the dream, but on the other hand that's impossible because I remember waking up during the battle royale part, so I must assume that it was before. Anyway, I see what is Lupin in the hallway, from the Harry Potter series ( wtf, celebrities, what are you doing in my dreams?), technically he's called David Thewlis, kneeling over what I think is a carriage containing a baby Harry Potter. At first he's talking to it like he's trying to help it, but then he starts getting angry at it saying stuff like " It was you! " and " You did it, didn't you? " In the meantime I'm watching this from out the bathroom door and uh, pretty confused at that point because it's not every day that you see Lupin getting mad at baby Harry Potter outside your bathroom in the hallway. Anyways, I watch him a bit and then something happens. Now, I don't know If I lit the carriage on fire or Lupin did. Anyway, Lupin left lighting or not setting fire to the carriage. I came out there and tried to stop the flames by fanning air on the carriage. Just like in real life, this never really works, and the only thing it did was make it worse. So I run back to the bathroom and get I think a handful of water, cupping it in my hands, and throw it on top of the carriage, and it goes out. I take it and put it in the bathroom and keep putting more water on it, and while doing this suddenly I hear my parents from downstairs. I get worried because I think they'll be angry at me for the battle royale that just happened, and also because they got my report card, yeah, pretty cliche I know, which had one grade on it that was not so good. So anyway I'm in the bathroom and I think my dad calls me down, he calls someone downstairs anyway and there I am in the bathroom trying to put out the carriage of baby Harry Potter. Jesus. Another thing, I realize that if I was worried that my parents would be angry at the sort of battle royale than that means that this dream must have occurred after that already happened, right? But . . . ah, what the hell.
Let's get onto the interesting part. Myself, Sawyer, and a couple of my friends, I remember in particular JC ( not Jesus Christ, if you were wondering ) and possibly JL, were in the front yard side of the house part by the patio. We were there and I just remember that all of a sudden people started yelling and people started coming after us. At this point this gets really action-packed, and I wish I was lucid during it so I could do the actual fighting ( although, assuming that I wouldn't pussy out, I really need to work on my dream control at the moment). So everybody runs off being chased by somebody. This sort of skinny black man is chasing me, and I'm pleading with him to stop saying stuff like " Come on, stop it man! " and he's still chasing after me. After some of him still running after me, I decide to take my cellphone out of my pocket and throw it right in his damn face. The thing is an Iphone 4, and let me tell you, it made face-smacking history by the contact it made with his face. It stunned him so much that he stumbled aside a little bit, but then began chasing me again. Now, I'm a very fast runner when I want to be and run as a hobby, but for whatever reason in this dream my legs were getting sore and I couldn't run very fast at all. So all of a sudden I kind of turn backward and just elbow or punch him, I don't know what exactly, but he swerves aside and falls on the ground, and I run off. There could have been one more punch thrown in there, but I'm not sure. I run alongside the house past the garage and that area and then reach the front by the grass on the end of the driveway. All of my friends are there and seem to have made it, and I saw Sawyer there just smiling and I think I said something like " Yeah, we made it! ". And I ran in to give him a hug. Now, that might seem like a sort of weird thing to do but you've got to keep in mind that this was a pretty traumatic experience. So I run in for this hug and at the last second, for some reason, I end up just running into his chest. That was a bit awkward, so I say like " Chest bump, hahahahahahaha " and then we actually do chestbump. Now let me ask you by the way, have you ever chestbumped Sawyer in one of your dreams? No? That's what I thought. Then I went over to JL and said something about the whole experience I would assume and she started laughing, probably at me, knowing her. This got me annoyed. I mean, come on, I had just defeated a black man in combat and she's laughing at me? But anyways, I then wandered around I think somewhere around Sawyer again and I can't remember exactly why but I realized I was dreaming and then that I was having a lucid dream. At this point I lifted my hands up to my face to look at them, and did that for a bit. They went sort of grainy, and then I faded out of the dream.
In my complete dumbassery I was too stupid to realize that this was the perfect opportunity for a DEILD, or, if that didn't work, a FILD. However, instead I just woke up in bed and started moving around and the light was too bright for trying a WILD. Next time I think I'll be more prepared, tho. Also, I remember something in the dream about a book store, and if I remember more if it throughout the day then I'll come back here and update it.
Alright, on to dream locations.

Dream Locations

Now I plan to describe in detail two of the locations I have been in dreams so that I might go back there in future dreams, possibly during a DEILD or even FILD, once I get experienced enough to pick my surroundings during them. So, without further ado, let's begin.

• Sleek Ocean City

This was the city in my first dream that was Florida in the dream, but it doesn't look much like the actual Florida so I'm just going to call it this. All of the buildings in this city are white and sleek, some of them tapering up like that building in Dubai that looks sort of like a flame tapering up. The buildings, while modern looking, are not scary or imposing, and there are still normal buildings and trees, probably palm trees, interspersed through the city, as well as patches of forest. I would assume that the ocean must be to the East of the buildings because I think that that is how it was in the dream. I think that that about wraps that all up and is good enough.

• Canyon Mountain

This was also from the first dream. It's pretty much a fairly steep mountain that looks like a canyon further up, and some of it's sides are green. The sky is fairly clear, I think almost completely, and bright blue. Tom Cruise was there originally in the dream but he doesn't always have to be there.

The Anchor Command

The problem with my lucidity in this dream was that I was only able to keep control of it for a few seconds, which is what usually happens. To stop this, I think I should come up with a command that will hopefully stabilize the dream. When I talked in the dream and said " Enhance " or " Enchance Clarity " or something like that, I actually heard myself talking, which surprised me. However, I really think that I should come up with a better command. I've decided that yelling " ANCHOR! " very loudly while at the same time gaining awareness of all around me, particularly the clearness and clarity of what I'm seeing and the sound, will help with this. This will be the command that will literally anchor me to the dream. I also will make it shoot me up a few feet into the air so from there I can start to fly. I also have to remember, next time, that rubbing your hands together and spinning around also can work, and that in the case that I do exit the dream I can use a DEILD, or, if that doesn't work and I wake up, a FILD, to get back into the dream, because I could have done that last night but forgot! Wow, long entry. That's about it for today!

Last night's very short dream took place at school. I was talking with Asjea, a black girl, when I said something to her and she said " That's racist, " jokingly. I remember it was something that was not racist at all but can't remember the actual word. For whatever reason I thought that I should teach her a lesson or something and shouted very loudly as well as angrily, " THAT'S NOT RACIST!" She looked very frightened and taken aback and everyone was kind of staring at me, and I kind of awkwardly explained myself that what I was said wasn't racist at all and it was annoying of her to say that. I can't remember if I dreamed anything after this point.

Tomorrow, in my next entry, which I hope will be much longer than the past previous ones because tonight I am making attempts to have some lucids with DILD and FILD, I will also add a list of places that I've had dreams in that I would like to go back to, and write detailed descriptions of them so that if I kind of forget them over time I can read them to refresh my memory, for the sleek modern looking city and the desert mountain.

That's about it for now! See you next journal!
