The Cusp

Not the Destroyer
Recall: 3/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I enter the NAC building, and inside there is some sort of pageant event. Girls are being awarded various titles, and seemingly at random, the award me the honorary prince title and put a robe on me. The girls are all young, like 18, rich and snobby. They show absolutely no interest in me, and I figure there is no point wasting my time here, so I leave. The officials there try to stop my as I walk out into the snow, but I ignore them. Somehow I end up back at my apartment.

I go out into the hallway where the retarded girl from American Horror Story Rushes at me. She somehow dies along with another girl, possibly killed by her creepy mother. Her death was staged to somehow get me to destroy the world. I was somehow granted amazing powers, and dark forces or entities are trying to get me to use them to burn the planet by getting me to focus on dark things, but I'm resisting, not letting my attention get hooked on the negative.

We end up putting the bodies on the bottom of a lake. Next to the lake is an ancient temple. The building is shaped like a man holding the world on his shoulders. I then see it floating a hundred feet in the air with the stones burning. Apparently, that's what's supposed to happen, what I'm supposed to do, and I'm more than a little impressed by the power required to pull that off. But I'm still determined that I'm not going to do that no matter what.

I head back to my apartment, and on the way back, everything on both sides of the road is on fire. The panic and destruction threatens to overwhelm my senses, but I focus on ignoring it, staring straight ahead down the road and ignoring the flames that surround me. I will not get suckered into sustaining that scenario with my attention.

I left out a few of the more mundane parts of that dream. It was pretty long and there was more to it than that, but that's all the good parts I can remember.

Hotel Lucidfornia
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm at some sort of festival/party where everyone is lucid, but we are still in the real world. As we walk to check into our hotel, I see subtle pyramid structures build into the buildings, and wonder if they were intentional.

We check into our room, which I'm sharing with Andre and his son. They go over to the wall, put the tips of their fingers against it and try to push it through. "If this is a dream, we should be able to push our fingers through the wall". I join them in trying to push my fingers through the wall. Not working for me, and before I can consider how to shift my attention to pull this off, Andre yells "I'm doing it". I look over and his hand is halfway through the wall. As I look closer, the wall rearranges it's self so his fingertips are no longer in the wall.

I say "This is how you put your fingers through the wall!", and begin to punch through the drywall. I lead with a couple of soft jabs to make sure I don't hit a 2x4, the unleash a series of left right punches until I have the whole section of the wall caved in.

When I turn around, I see our butler sitting there in a lawn chair. He says "Shall I put my dick in the wall sir?". I laugh and say "Whoa Geeves! At least wait until the party is rocking and we're getting our freak on!". "Very well sir" he replies.

Andre and his son leave the room and a zombie wanders in the open door. I lead it back out the door, then slam the door shut. THe zombie pounds on the door, and I notice there is a foot and a half gap on the bottom where there is no door. I drop down and punch the zombie's shins, breaking them so that it falls to the ground. Then the zombie tries to crawl under the door. I punch it's head until it gets crushed against the floor like a broken egg shell.

I look at the mess and figure the zombie and the hole in the wall will be gone when I return, since it's a dream. I head downstairs and everyone is gathering in the lobby. The hotel staff tells everyone to group up and give their cards to their partner. One person gets 5 fantasy type cards, and the other get a single boring card. I figure the 5 fantasy cards offer more possibilities for fun in a lucid dream.

Those of us with the 5 cards head to a vertical maze. The first 2 people attempt to bring their cards to the top, but die and turn into skulls that drop to the ground. I try next, and I too turn into a skull halfway through, but I don't drop. I can still move. I figure that was the trick, our partners had to so something before we coudl finish the maze, and mine had done it just in time

This was a long left brain dream, which makes it hard to remember. I only recall choppy fragments, which are not necessarily in order

Experimented on as a Child
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Right Side (Left Brain)

-I'm exploring an unfinished warehouse with Olivia from Fringe. We climb to the second floor, and have to take a hard to reach rope ladder to the third floor. From here we see the office of the red head chick with the robotic arm from Fringe, and know she was behind this. The 4th floor is even harder to get to, and when Olivia climbs up, she has to walk precariously across some wooden beams. I follow her up and we find the room where the experiments took place.

-I pass through a small red rift and enter into a parallel universe. This was the world we used to predict the floods in our world. I walk through some stuff I don't remember clearly, and see another red rift. I'm a little confused, is there supposed to be another one here like that?

I poke my face through the rift, farther and farther until the world on the other side is clear. I see meteors falling from the sky, lots of them. Some break up into smaller chunks, and just pummel the earth. I step through the rift to try to assess the damage these meteors are doing. There is lots of smoke and the orange glow of fires off in the distance, but the area I'm in seems more or less intact.

I wonder how accurate this will be in predicting events in my world, since it's a parallel dimension of a parallel dimension.

-I'm in the street with two other of the experimental test subjects when I was young, Peter and Tyson. The meteors start to fall, and we look for somewhere safe. We consider going into the lake, but the waves from the impacts are too violent. I remember a group of houses that were untouched and we head for those.

One house in particular had something to do with the experiments, and we climb up to the balcony, our bodies changed somehow. We get inside and fight a group of men with powers and wands.

-I'm walking in a parking lot with Olivia, when when a group with powers from the experiments walks up to us. They summon whirlpools at their feet that sucks people in. I'm impressed and intimidated that they can manifest these dream like powers in he real world, but I know enough about dream control to defend against it. It's an attention trap, so I immediately turn away and ignore it so it has no power over me. Olivia however gets sucked into the whirlpools.

All the people who got pulled in have become zombie/demon things, and I don't want to touch Olivia to pull her out in that state. I find a rope, lasso her, and pull her out.

-In school, some informer give me a clue and says to pick up my gift. I look at the desk and ask if the woman has anything for me. She hands me a book in german, and an army medal. I ask if the medal is mine, but I'm just taking it out temporarily like a library book.

Someone sees me with the book and says something about MK ultra.

-I'm on the school bus, identifying others who were part of these experiments. We're attacked by this mysterious group who cause our faces to melt and run. It's like our faces were made of wax and exposed to heat. I know it's another attention trap and ignore it, even though my face is completely melted.

There was so much more, so much weird stuff that I can't even describe.

Alien Invasion
Recall: 9/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Left Side (Right Brain)

I'm in my high school, when our school is attacked by vines. They are growing and spreading super fast, and killing everyone. The vines burrow right into people and full them until the burst. I'm running around the school trying to get out and avoid the vines. The vines seem to cover all the exits

I have vines coming at me from both directions, and run out into the court yard. I think I can climb up on the roof which seems clear, and make it out of here. I begin to climb a section of wall that is covered with netting, but when I get to the top there is a vine growing along eaves trough. I don't want to risk pulling my self over it so I drop back down. On the ground I watch some strange vegetation spread over the courtyard. I try to avoid it, but eventually there is nowhere for me to go, and it grows right under my feet. But it doesn't kill me.

"They want the rest of us alive" someone says, "They've killed enough and want the rest of us as slaves. Several walking plant creatures show up and lead us to the principal's office where their leader is sitting, a plant creature in a dark robe with a flytrap head with lipstick. While we wait to see her, I watch her human secretary slave work. THe poor girl has scratches all over her face. While talking with another woman, the secretary breaks down and starts say things that will get her killed.

I grab the secretary by the shoulders and calm her down. The evil plant queen thanks me, and says she will have the girl carefully prepared, and her skin sent to me as a token of gratitude. She then hands me and some other guy a turtle, who will be our overseer.

We leave with our turtle, get in a car and drive down the road. Up ahead in the middle of the road is a giant sea turtle. I swerve to avoid it, but we crash, and our turtle rockets through the window and skids on it's underside along the pavement. We run out to see if it's OK, and it seems it's shell kept it safe.

I look up in the sky and see several UFOs approaching. I figure we're going to be in trouble for endangering the turtles, so we run into an apartment. There are a couple inside, but they seem to be under some sort of mind control and can't see us. We munch some freshly baked cookies while we watch them.

The wife indicates that she is horny. She is blond with big tits, and me and the guy with me look at each other with a look that says "should we?". We do, and bring her in the bedroom and fuck the shit out of her. I finsh inside her just as she's coming out of her trance. She's a little angry at us, and tell me I wasn't even any good. I'm like "Oh yeah?", and stick it back inside her and really fuck the shit out of her. There's no denying she enjoyed it now.

We go back into the kitchen and the wall morphs into a door. I go through the door with my buddy and we find ourselves in a human settlement on the water. Someone gives us a small boat and tell us to go see their leader. We get into the boat and see sever shops on the water, a nursery full of babies. At first I thought this was a free settlement, but then I see several people fighting over money and think the aliens might be in control of this place.

We dive off our boat under water, where it seems I can breathe, and enter an underwater building. We wait to see the man in charge, and when we do we talk about books or something.

(next part is fuzzy, not sure what happened here.)

We are outside the human settlement, about to sneak in. A woman with me has some sort of makeshift vehicle to ride the train tracks. As she motors along, she collides with another woman on a small cart thing also riding the tracks in the opposite direction. The wreckage has produced several metal discs, and the strange woman says she had dibs on the money, and scoops up the disks.

While that was happening, I was watching strange yellow clouds in the sky, and see more UFOs coming our way. We take cover in an abandoned building, where a small group of rebel survivors are hiding out. Another woman shows up and says one of the aliens saw her and she had to stun it. She tells me I have to come and finish it off. I go outside and bash it's head in with a rock.

We walk around the other side of the building, knee deep in water, where several red skinned reptilians corner us. It would appear we're fucked, but I think to myself that I've read this book before, and I know one of these reptilians is on our side and will turn on his kind and join us. I'm just not sure which one it is

Cricket Dogs
Recall: 8/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I enter a store and grab a couple hotdogs. I'm eating then when I hear the cashier say to someone that some of the hot dogs are made of crickets. I stop eating and ask her how to tell the difference between the cricket dogs and the normal hot dogs. She tells me you have to break the wieners open and the cricket ones give off a weird smell. I sniff my hot dog and it does indeed smell funny.

"Why would you keep the cricket dogs mixed in with the regular ones!?!?" I shout, and before she can answer yell "Who even buys cricket dogs!?!?!?". The cashier explains the they are used for black magic, for summoning demons and stuff.

I watch as some dude buys a bunch of cricket dogs and leaves the store. Since he's obviously up to no good, I decide to follow him. I follow him outside, and the guy walks across the street into the woods, then looks back at me. I turn behind the building so it won't be obvious I'm following him.

Behind the building I see two pairs of people of doing magic around circles on the ground. I ask them "You guys are into magic, can I ask you a question?". They try to deny it, but the magic circles and weird herbs they are using makes it rather obvious. "I just thought you guys could help because there is a guy back there trying to initiate an apocalypse.

I look back where the guy entered the woods and see a hoard of angry sorcerers storming down a set of stairs. Johnny Depp is leading them, followed by the evil wizards from Harry Potter. The swarm us and begin killing everyone who comes across their path. I find a hatch in the floor and descend into a basement

And then I wake up.

Superhero Rumble
Recall: 4/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Left Side (Right Brain)

I'm part of a group of superheroes, and in a field there is some sort of UFO or time anomaly. Our group ends up in a massive fight down by a river against an opposing group of super powered people.

On my team we have Superman and Wonder Woman. The only person I remember on the other team it the Hulk. I mainly target the Hulk, since he is by far the most dangerous, but I don't take him head on. I wait until I see him about to smash one of my team mates, then attack him with my bo staff when he's not looking. By taking him by surprise, I'm able to thwart his attack and knock him down, but that only makes him mad.

Luckily, as the hulk gets back up and is about to crush me, someone like superman comes along and blindsides him. I jump back into the fray, fighting whoever is closest until I get another opportunity to take down the hulk again just as he's about to smash a team mate. He gets up, pissed at me, and someone else saves my ass. It's the only strategy that works against him. We're not trying to defeat him, just keep him distracted.

Dumb Luck Heroes

Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm a kid, and my friends and I decide we're going to be super heroes. We've got our costumes and bags fulls of weapons and tricks. We pass a bar where some guy comes out and wants to fight us. One of us ends up dropping something by accident which the guy trips over and knocks himself out.

We go to a hotel that we break into, on a mission that is real only in our heads. By sheer coincidence, we stumble into a criminal plot by luck or misfortune. We're after some box that has nothing to do with the reality of the situation, and one of the criminals puts a bear trap in it, covered by a silk cloth. We manage to get our box, but before we can see what's inside and get our arm snapped off, another of the criminals takes it thinking there is something good inside. He reaches in and the bear trap closes on his arm, giving us a chance to escape. Pure dumb luck.


YESTERDAY'S DREAMS (FRIDAY NIGHT)

The Enemy of my Enemy
Recall: 5/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

There are 2 groups of body snatchers, both out to destroy humanity. The first group is a black liquid that gets inside people, slowly growing in volume over time until all their blood turns black, then they eyes turn black, then their entire bodies turn black. The second group is like the first, only with a silver liquid.

I'm part of an organization fighting and hunting down both groups. Now bow these groups hate each other, and they both use me to attack the other group by proxy. Both sides infiltrate our organization and feed us information that we use to take out the other side. This works out really well for us since both sides are spending more energy attacking the other side than they are attacking humans. We consider both sides equally bad, so it's like our enemies are helping us to destroy themselves

Zoo Escapees
Recall: 6/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in the ground floor of a building with large glass windows, when I see an ostrich or emo walking into a lion. I yell out for everyone to look, there's a lion attacking a ostrich! But it isn't. Then I look out another window and see 2 ostriches, one on the ground and another tearing into the downed one with it's claws. It's tearing huge gashes out of the downed ostrich with it's claws, then ripping out huge chunks of flesh with it's beak.

Outside is now filled with vicious beasts, and we barricade ourselves inside. Eventually it looks like the beasts have left, and we go out side and walk down the street to check things out. But we see the animals and run back to the building with them hot on our heals. We get inside the building, but can't close the door in time, and the animals rush in. We take refuge in the elevator and head to the floor above us.

I open a window to see what's going on outside, and my companions say the animals will get in. I don't believe them and walk out onto the ledge. Below I see a little white rabbit, which jumps straight up and in the window. I go back inside and close the window.

What's Mine is Mine!

Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I find a chest plate and other armor, and put it on as I walk down the street. Along with the armor, there is a children's toy, one of those ball poppers on wheels you push along with a stick. There are several pieces to it, and I put them in, which makes it look kind of weird.

Then I realize I have no shirt or coat on, and it's winter. My skin is practically blue, and I turn around to look where my coat is. I see it about two blocks back on the sidewalk. I put down the toy and head back to collect my coat, but before I get there I see a truck pull up. A guy gets out and walks over and picks up my toy thing. He heads back to his truck and I cut him off telling him that they toy thing belongs to me. He ignores me and tries to get back in his truck.

I tell him again that it's mine, and demand he give it back, but he doesn't comply. So I walk up to him and give him a surprise kick in the shin. The guy predictably doubles over and I knee him in the face, straightening him up again, them pummel him with punches.

I love how I have almost no inhibitions in dreams.

This dream gets nasty!

Pony Girl Loves Spiders
Recall: 9/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm staying in a very cheap motel for work, where they only charge 20$ a night. At first I'm sharing a room with my uncle, but then end up sharing it with the guys from work. It's lunch time, I'm hungry, so I ask Shane for some money. I know he got paid for the job we did today, but he tells me I'll get paid at the end of the week. I have no money on me, and I'm supposed to eat nothing all week? Like I'm going to trust my money in the hands of a crackhead. I consider beating the crap out of him and taking my share of the money, but he has his kids with him, and I don't want to beat his ass in front of them.

Shane goes out with his kids leaving me alone in the room. As I wander about, I see a cluster of spider webs, out of which crawls a large red spider. This spider is 4 inches long and scampers towards me very quickly. I try to move away, but the spider always comes right at me, I can't seem to shake it. Turns out the spider is just following me around like a loyal dog, and just lays there at my feet. Now I'm conflicted. The spider behaves like a trusting pet, yet it's still a big nasty spider and I wanna squish it. Just then Shane comes back in the room and steps on the spider, taking the choice out of my hands. I kind of feel bad for the poor little guy.

Now I begin to see large spiders everywhere. There is one on the staircase bigger than my hand that won't let me pass. There's no way I can sleep in here with these things on the loose. Shane says he has an idea, leaves, and comes back leading a pony. The pony suddenly runs to the table and gobbles up a large spider that was underneath it. Apparently horses just love to eat spiders.

We lead the pony over to a railing with a very large spider, and the pony becomes a red headed girl. She reaches into the webs and pulls out a big fat black spider, and pops it into her mouth, chewing like it's delicious. Disgusting. I tell her there's still a huge spider in there, but she says she can't see it. I point the spider out. It's greenish and it has a body the size of a cucumber. Pony girl can't eat this one in one bite, and I turn away so I don't have to watch her eat this monstrous creature.

Moon Vampire
Recall: 5/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in space, just floating there with two astronauts. The astronauts have their helmets off so they can talk, and I have no space suit whatsoever. I ask them if I can get a hit of air, and one hands me his respirator, and I take a deep breath.

I consider flinging myself in the direction of the earth. Could I hold my breath long enough to get there? Would I burn up in the atmosphere? What about Impact? I'm pretty sure I could survive terminal velocity if I hit the water. Still, it seems pretty risky, and I go to the moon instead.

There is a moon base, with a team of people. And a vampire who is picking us off one at a time. The vampire is not shy about killing people right in front of us, since we don't really have anywhere to run. I ask her what she's going to do once we're all gone? What's she going to eat then? I'm hoping to convince her to leave us alive and just drink a little blood from us instead of completely draining us.

A vampire on the moon? Why do I get the feeling Nomad is somehow responsible for that?

Had a great zombie dream, woke up, and it was so awesome, I had the dream again when I went back to sleep. That happened a few times. Makes recall difficult when you have several versions of the same dream.

Zombie Fun

Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Unknown

Zombie! I'm running from them and fighting them off with my group of survivors. We use guns, but ammo is scarce, swords, axes. Great fun. These aren't your average zombies, they are tricksy. At one point they use a little girl as bait to lure people in. There are also other evolved zombies that have grown into larger monstrosities.

One version has a post apocalyptic government to deal with the zombie menace, and of course they fuck things up making it worse. A lot of running, fighting, hiding, scrounging for supplies, my fellow survivors getting eaten. A good time was had by all!

School Trip

Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in class in high school, and my english teacher announces a class trip to somewhere tropical. Cool! They trip is in a couple of days. I later realize I don't have the money to go. I show up at school when everyone is leaving for the trip, and chew out my teachers for now giving us enough notice to raise the money, yelling at them. I don't like that they have a special event just for the rich kids.

I see many other people can't afford to go either. Then I see Beaudoin, who hands me a couple of LSD tabs, which I take. I leave school and end up at a party. The party is hosted by some kid who's father is Iggy Pop. Iggy hand hands me nice chunk of weed after spreading honey oil all over it. I smoke it and it's really good. Plus my LSD is starting to kick in.

I see myself in the mirror, and the LSD has caused my eyes to shrink. They are just tiny, way out of proportion to the size of my head. I wonder about them taking that LSD and going on the plane for the school trip. People must notice the tiny eyes!




Fragment: Windy Swim
I go swimming on the river. It;s a windy day, and the water is all choppy, but it's a cool spot with nice beaches and various rapids.


Fragment: Exploring
I'm exploring a little village by bike, looking for the river. I come to the area I think it should be, where someone points out a map on the wall to me. I can see the rivers I was looking for, 2 of them, just ahead on the map.

Waited way too long to write these out, and my notes were kind of incomplete.

I'm on a boat, and we pull along side a dolphin half sticking out of the water like a buoy, his nose in the air. I reach over the side of the boat and pet him, which sets the dolphin swimming. He swims off, then comes back and swims along side the boat. I reach into the water to pet him and play with him. Then I jump in the water to swim with him.

Next thing I know, all the people from the boat are in the water and the boat is gone. We swim to a spot where there is a sunken chest we want to recover. I dive down deep, and am surprised that I can hold my breath for this long. IN fact is seems I can rebreath the air already in my lungs.


Fragment: Shot in the legs
I keep getting shot in the legs. They are pretty much only flesh wounds, only puncturing the skin, I have about four holes around each knee.

School

Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in class, watching a television. I turn it off just as the teacher walks by and narrowly avoid getting busted. There are only 2 days left of school before winter break, we've already done our exams, and I think it's stupid to be here. I tell the teacher I'm leaving, and he tries to argue with me, saying something about genetics. I yell back at him saying something about genetics, and despite my sudden outburst, I can see he's impressed by my knowledge of the matter.

"I'm done school for this semester!" I shout and storm out of class. IN the hall I can't find my locker.

I leave school and go to a bar that is a composite of all the bars on the quebec side I used to frequent in high school. In the parking lot, I see a van full of half naked girls changing. They are the band who is playing, changing into their costumes. I go inside and see some guys I know. Pete and Berrigan and Muldoon are there.

Right before bed I was reading about a mother bear and her cubs in a Chinese Bile farm. The mother bear got out of her cage, killed her cubs, then killed herself by running head first into a brick wall. I was pretty disgusted with the chinese people as I lay down to bed.

Love and Hate

Sleep: OK
Sleep Position: Unknown

There are a bunch of foreign exchange students or something staying with us. One of them is a Chines girl, and I don't get along with her at all. She thinks her country is the greatest, and I argue with her about human rights violations (Falung Gong, organ harvesting) , animal cruelty with (bears bile, dolphin slaughter, shark fin soup), international hacking, stealing technology. We can't stand each other. She has jet black hair with a streak of pure white in it like Rogue from X-Men.

And then I hear her singing to her self, and it's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Just like that, I fall head over heals in love with her. She responds to my change in attitude and is really into me as well. I make love to her, then we cuddle and plan our future together. We're going to get married.

I go to a class to write an exam to get my real estate license. I'm almost done, and one of the last questions is written on the blackboard, but I can't see it, so I get up to take a closer look. There are other people at the blackboard, and before I can see the question, someone erases it from the board. As I'm all WTF with the teacher, I see a chinese guy go up to my desk and swipe my exam. I try to go after him, but the other students block me like they are all conspiring against me.

I chase him outside and down the street when I realize I'm bare feet and forgot my shoes in the class. I head back, but when I get to the building I see I have shoes. I'm confused by this, but too focused on my girl who is missing. I ask the teacher and he said the Chines embassy came and took her away. He says some tough guy came to see him before class and threatened him.

I have no idea how I'm going to get her back.

Woke up, but that dream left an emotional impact on my, so when I fell asleep again, I was still trying to find her.


Fragment: Searching
I'm trying to remember how to get ahold of my chinese girl. Then I remember she gave me some radios to contact her. Luckily it's set to the right frequency and I try it out. A guy answers, and I can't remember her name. I try a couple name, but the guy doesn't know them. Then I just ask him if a chinese girl is staying with him. He says he works with her and drives her home every day, and that her family is trying to marry her off. I guess they found someone else for her.

Fragment: Harp of Doom
I come into possession of an angel's harp. When I pluck the strings towards me, drawing them like a bow, it kills people. Obviously very bad people want this harp for themselves. Waves of mafia guys come after me, but I decimate them with my death harp.
