VividDreams

As I'm on lesson 2 in the Orphelia's class in the Dream Academy I've been trying some of the DILD techniques I've read about so thought it would be worth saying what I'd tried before I went to sleep. On this occasion I started visualising colours starting with yellow then thinking about different yellow things like bananas & the sun etc. Then I visualised green and different green objects like vegetables, grass, lizards etc this was quite a calming mantra like thing to do to stimulate my imagination ready for the dreamworld.

Went to sleep about 1:30am

Couple of dreams in one this, can't recall much but am going to start putting whatever I can recall from my dreams even if it's not much.
I was at a house with an old friend who's been in the previous dream I had about the Jaguar (maybe he's becoming a dream sign?). Also there was my old female manager from a temp' job I did plus another unknown woman & various other unknowns. We were having some kind of dinner party but the unknown woman was going round giving oral sex to the guys including me then she went to do my friend & my old manager stepped in saying she was going to 'show her how it's done!' And she bent down to do it showing off her amazing figure in the process.

Woke briefly at about 6am, fell back asleep

I definitely was aroused by this & when I woke up around 6am to the sound of the radiator filling with water I was in a state of morning glory The rest of the dream involved us being around a dinner table and the manager woman (who I kind of fancy in real life & sometimes communicate with still on facebook), was serving us all these mini pizzas & I'd requested mine with bits of bacon on it & was being asked by another guy there what it was called to which I replied 'pizza della bacon'!

When I fell back asleep after being half woken by the radiator, I then dreamt I was in Ireland (somewhere I've never been) in some shit-hole of a house with two lads I didn't recognise from reality. Can't remember much here except thinking they were very stupid and when I asked to go to the toilet I nearly fought the guy because he wanted me to use this horrible standing up toilet which was just a drain in the ground! I can't remember much else about this part of the dream although I know there was more, maybe it will come to me in the day if so I'll edit this entry accordingly.

Woke up properly about 9:20am

Today I woke up earlier than usual after going to sleep later then listed in my workbook (mainly for the simple reason I couldn't get myself to sleep). Instead of going back to sleep I've reached for the dream journal to jot down one dream I can remember in-case I do fall asleep again & fail to remember it when I wake up.

In this dream I was watching some old friends renovate a house but they were messing about driving vans into the front and jumping out the windows. Then I was speaking to one of my old friends who I'd not seen in a while and for some reason he'd just come out of prison or a young offenders institute or even a mental home, it was unclear which. We ended up at his parent's house where he'd moved back to and I spoke with his mother briefly and she had a friend over who just happened to be my old work mate Paul so we shook hands but for some reason shook our left hands as I was washing my right one!

I remember there being a lovely view out of the back window of a mountain that looked like a dormant volcano and I also remembered in the dream that I could see it at a slightly different angle from an old house I lived in last, year even though no such view exists in reality.

Later on after waking up tried a WBTB from about 12:15pm until 1pm

Found myself dreaming I was on a plain in some sort of Catholic bible class and a Polish guy with a shaved head was getting us to read passages from a bible with him out loud and say ‘the lord our God hears us’ after each passage.

I was at a friends house in Bristol (even though I've never been there to visit this friend yet). I was playing with a dog in the garden when this Jaguar appears so I run into the next garden and gather up my friend, the dog, some other people including children and the neighbours and get them into the house and lock the Jaguar out. One guy in the house has a wound on his face which I ask if he got from the Jaguar but he says no.

Suddenly I'm back at the house where I live, and am looking out the window at this crazy bitch with dark hair in the street smashing at peoples doors with a shovel. She then comes to ours with an accomplice, a blonde woman with greenish eyes. I call the police and describe what I've seen happen and that they're now at our door harassing us but the police just hang up not caring!

So I open the door to confront them but the dark haired woman tries to cut the top of my hand with a rusty garden tool she's took from our porch (like a sickle), but it's too blunt and just sort of scratches my skin. The blonde woman just stands there smirking and I remember seeing a neighbour who I think was another old friend of mine's Mother just watching us out the window (even though she doesn't even live in this street).
I then woke myself up screaming 'GET AWAY!!'.

I know why I had this dream because the same night a strange woman rang the doorbell at about 11pm asking for someone called Simon & when I said no-one called Simon lived here she asked if anyone next door was called Simon to which I replied there was no-one round here called Simon. It freaked myself & my Mother out a bit as it was late for someone to be calling and the woman was just weird and shifty most likely mentally ill or on drugs.

In some kind of forest and there’s a wooden building quite large suddenly everything’s on fire so escape and look back at the burning building and some strange figure steps out on fire, looks like a burning Gandalf kind of zombiefied from the flames. Says something about how I’m fighting the undead!

There was this artificial beach with a giant wall and like fake bit of sea off this new road in my town. The wall was covered in graffiti and there was this lady who seemed like a council member saying how graffiti would be banned because of it.

Back at the old house I grew up in (2nd night in a row I’ve dreamt this dream sign) must have triggered some lucidity because I remembered that I could fly if I wanted to and that it was once a common dream sign of mine to the point where I thought I could do it in reality! The flying wasn’t like superman flying more like floating a few feet off the ground and in order to do it I had to do swimming motions with my feet & arms but still quite fun though. I was using this skill to fly over our garden & the neighbour’s garden to put something into their recycling bin because we didn’t have one. Also remember there being a tunnel leading away from the street with a big wooden door at the end that had swung shut & I was thinking I need it to be open so when I drive away I don’t have to get out my car to open it.

Couldn't get on here earlier to fill out entry but wanted to post about my dreams last night..
At one point I was fighting an old friend of mine but not on my own, there was another friend of ours involved too & it was 2 on 1, me and another guy verses this old friend of mine. This is appropriate because we haven't been great friends recently and also this other guy actually did have a fight with him a few weeks back which I just heard about.
The next part of the dream involved me being at the old house I grew up in (a common dream sign of mine) and there were a group of people there including my Dad & Gordan Ramsey, a famous British chef! We were all eating fish and chips and I remember taking out everyone's plates afterwards & putting the leftovers in the fridge. Can't remember much else but thought I'd record what I could here

Just woke from a pretty spectacular dream where I was hanging out with some unidentified friend in somewhere that seemed like it was the country Wales where I once lived. He had long dark hair like a guy I once knew out there, and he seemed to guild me through this dream.
We moved from place to place in the dream. At one point we entered into what seemed like a cave on a cliff side over looking the sea and there was a mini island visible from there with different kinds of buildings & lots of lush greenery on it. I remember asking people there if it was Porthcawl, a seaside town in Wales I once visited but they laughed and said it was somewhere else. It was a beautiful view and I remember wanting to photograph it but as I took out my camera the view became more obscured by other people in the cave and seemed to fade. This part of the dream was quite lucid like I consciously wanted to photograph this view I could see as it was so amazing.
Suddenly my focus went from the view to within the cave and there was a part of it where water was dripping down in like a fine rain as you get in caves sometimes where water is soaking through the rocks. Water is one of my common dream signs so no surprise it's appeared there. There were some rusty bars stopping us from falling through a hole at the back of the cave wall. I went to grab one & someone warned me not to touch them as they were loose then someone else tried to climb them and they started breaking away.
The dream changed then to me being sat on a public bench somewhere trying to roll a massive joint but I kept having to stop and start to avoid being caught, weed is yet another common dream sign of mine!
I remember feeling like I was smoking this big joint with the long haired guy. We were by a front garden of a house with some other lads and one guy was upset his pregnant girlfriend was cheating on him & I was passing this massive coned spliff around!

Can't remember much from this one except I was wandering round some church grounds where there was this girl who was quite pretty but had some facial hair! She was a grounds keeper there and was listening to music from a portable C.D player while she worked. I remember us talking but not what was said.
The dream changed and I was then talking to an acquaintance (who I've always suspected of being gay) about this gay acquaintance I know who is actually openly gay. He was saying how amazing he thought he was & I was attempting to match make them! Odd considering I'm not gay myself.
Anyway all I remember next is there being some sort of party and people wandering around a street then some black dude called me a batty man, no wonder if I'm having dreams like this!

Not been filling this out as much recently as my dream re-call hasn't been as great. The intensity of my dreams has calmed down alot. I think this is because I was going through weed withdrawal for a month and now that the worst is over my dreams have become less intense.

Anyway here some information about what I re-call from last night's dream:

Working in a factory similar to one I’d worked in before cutting material to make car insulation. Only the material was much bigger and all in green. Was given work sheets by female supervisor telling me to get different length rolls of this green material so I did then stacked them up where they were needed. I remember thinking in the dream, was that all I needed to do and worrying there was more. Then the shift finished and I was walking back down a road with other employees there and they were saying I must be good at the job because I’d been put to work with the green material which is the highest!

This is a combination of several dreams I had over a period of about 12/14 hours starting with a nap I had last night from about half 5 until 7pm. I dreamt I was Robocop fighting the ED209 robot from the first film. I was running from it while it was firing explosive rounds at me and I ran past an Irish bar as some of the rounds were fired into it & it exploded. I realised I was dreaming and remembered the film and how to defeat the robot by leading it to some stairs where it would get stuck!
I then dreamt I was on Skype chatting to someone & they were saying that they had been smoking weed and kept spamming a weed emoticon, I remember feeling disappointed at them for this.
Later that night I went to sleep at about half 12am and dreamt a very erotic dream in which I was some sort of male porn star/prostitute in a small room where female clients (also porn stars) visited me for sex. I had sex with about 3 different girls all different races (Latin, Chinese & black I do believe). It was quite vivid and realistic feeling. At the end I was sitting in the reception of this dream brothel I was working in waiting to get payed!
The dream then took a darker turn and became a nightmare, I was in my old middle school shouting at an old friend trying to get him to apologise to me for something he'd been saying (I have no idea why because we were always good mates who never fought). My sister was there as she worked at the school, she does actually work in secondary school in real life too. Anyway I begin fighting with this guy who's been saying things about me when this black girl throws him a box cutter knife! I say to her she's only helping him because he's black & they stick together (even though the guy wasn't really black in real life but mixed asian!). So I block him trying to attack me with the knife and twist his arm then apologise just before I break it to get the knife off him. Now I have the knife and I wake myself up shouting 'fuck you, you fucking coon' as I'm about to slash the back of his head. I did actually wake myself up at shouting this too at about half 6am, I think even my parents must have heard me!
I went & got a drink then came back to bed and fell back asleep again and dreamt I was in like a corridor that was closed off on each side, one of the doors was similar to a safe door and there was combination to open it but there was a 'borg (from Star Trek) like creature outside waiting to get in and shoot me! I remember realising I'd had a similar dream before in which the borg had got in & shot me so this time I entered the code and the door unlocked and I pushed against it so it wouldn't open then escaped through a side door and ran away through some other halls into an office where I hid.
The dream then changed and I was on a caravan site with my sister & brother in law. I was fetching some water and there were lots of other holiday makers around. My brother in law was underneath the caravan fixing something and this kid kept going under there I was telling him to get out as it was dangerous. That's all I can remember really but the fight part felt like a nightmare & was quite disturbing, I didn't feel great this morning & didn't feel like getting up after that

Dreamt I was working at Dominos pizza (which I used to) except it was a huge mall like equivalent with separate stores for different things on the menu.
I was on my lunch break trying to find somewhere but I got lost and couldn't remember where in the mall it was so I was racing against time to find it before my lunch break ended.
I ended up leaving the store and scrambling around outside to get back before the end of lunch break, I seem to remember feeling like I was running but my legs were really heavy. At one point I was trying to run up a grass hill but was struggling and grabbing bits of grass so I wouldn't slip until I realised there were some wooden rungs nailed into the ground to help my grip.
I remember being back in the store with some co-workers, we'd sneaked off to steal some food from any left overs. I saw giant bacon burgers and pizza crusts and we were eating our fill when a manager came along and nearly caught us but we made it look like we were just preparing the food for customers!
The dream seemed to change after that and I was in a room with some people learning how to assemble the parts together for an Xbox 360. I also remember we seemed to be inventing something else important..The rest of the dream is very hazy and fragmented I can't fully recall or explain some of the details.

Bit of a late entry this but can still remember some of my dream from last night. It was like I was in a university dorm and I'd sneaked into someone's room while they weren't there. I think I was with someone and we were nervous the person would return but while they were gone we stole some weed & hash laying around. It was like a stealth mission and we had to get out before they returned.
I can't remember much else except that we got out with the weed & hash without getting caught then suddenly I was with a girl who I think had seen us coming out of this guy's room and we started making love with her on top, then I woke up!

I didn't have an entry yesterday as I genuinely didn't feel like I'd dreamt the night before and when I got up I just got on with things straight away even though I didn't feel great as had a head cold.
My dream last night included smoking (something I've recently given up, about 3 weeks ago). I was sat in the living room watching telly with my parents & eldest niece. My niece had started smoking for some reason and wanted to go outside for a fag my step-dad told me to join her (not to smoke just to accompany her outside).
When we got outside we climbed the wall between the patio and garden and were looking over it at some guys having some sort of hockey game in the street (I used to play hockey when I was young and have also recently been invited to an ice hockey game). My niece was smoking in the dream and I remember feeling the urge to smoke too and maybe taking a drag on what she was smoking.
I remember a confrontation with the hockey players because they'd hit their puck into the garden and I think I told them to stop playing in the street and find somewhere else to have their game. I got surrounded by these guys, none of which I recognised, some had facial piercings and I remember one having really prominent features in a comical way like a huge long square chin! In fact all of them had exaggerated facial features like characters from the old British television satire 'Spitting Image'. Anyway the guys started moving on after our confrontation but for some reason I was walking along with them and talking to one of them about how I might be going to watch this ice hockey match soon.
Suddenly I woke to the smell of left over Chinese food & and succumbed to an overwhelming urge to eat some of it and attempt to fill out this dream journal!

Several dreams again, starting with me being in some sort of army regiment armed only with these pen like guns which took ages to load but were accurate & effective from long range. We were behind some kind of fence like the barb wire from the trenches in world war 1. The enemy was advancing on our position and we had to load, assemble and be ready to fire these strange pen guns before they got to the wire & over ran us. It was too late and they got to the wire & some got through so had to kill them by hand. Managed to finish loading the guns though and kill some with them. The dream then changed to me advancing on the enemy alone. I was crawling on my belly through what would have been no man's land and I hid under a chair on it's side where I could see an enemy in a building ahead so I prepared my pen gun and shot him dead like I was a sniper.
The dream then changed to a situation involving members of my family, I was furious at my Mother and eldest sister for getting drunk while my sister was in the process of trying to divorce her alcoholic husband & care for the children (a situation pretty close to the truth). Details were hazy about this part of the dream so I've just outlined the general theme. I remember my brother in law being in the dream also but not much else, he is currently well out side our families grace in reality.
The dream changed again to me being in some kind of orgy with some old university friends! I was making love to exotic Burkha wearing Muslim girls & remember saying to two of my old university friends about this. Coincidently one of the university friends is a Muslim. And we also did used to chase girls together in reality while we lived in the same student area. Again this part of the dream is hazy. I'm going to try and sleep some more and see if I dream again.

My recall isn't as strong as previous days today, either my recall or my motivation to recall. Had another fragmented dream, quite vivid again. It's hard to remember what order things happened in but I'll try, there were lots of changes were the dream leaped from one setting to another with different events.
At one point I was in the old house I was brought up in (when my parents were still together many years ago), my Dad was there also. I was on the settee where I usually sat and for some reason I had two kinds of money on me and it had all become mixed up and had fallen down the side of the couch. I also had some medication I had to take in the dream.
I frequently dream about the old house I grew up in as a child, it's one of my 'dream signs' you could say. As for the two types of money, I've had an idea that it could be my brains way of saying I've got my benefits (or welfare for Americans) type of money I claim because I am signed off from work by my doctor at present & then money I earn through selling things occasionally. The medicine is easy as I have been on various antibiotics for months now.
The dreams changes to another setting now where I am with someone from my past, I think we were at some kind of outdoor party or festival but down at the B.M.X track, also somewhere I used to play as a child. We walked away together from the main site of the festival/party and were catching up but I was trying to get the truth out of him about why he'd broke up with his ex' as I'd heard some rumours. This is partially true to life as I knew the guys ex' and her sisters and they'd told me why they'd separated, also I nearly got with his ex' a couple of years back! This part of the dream concluded with us walking somewhere else where there was like an entrance to a tunnel through a hill with an Indian looking man guarding it and we were going to say something to him because he was being inappropriate towards a Dwarf girl who was going into the tunnel. I think this part is definitely connected to me having watched 'Game Of Thrones' before going to sleep!
After this the final part of the dream involved me being at a nightclub in some kind of dance off/emcee battle with a Northern crew. I remember there being people battling/freestyling around me, rhyming over dub-step and there were dance offs. I was taking part in both to some extent. Things got heated and I was discussing with the club owner and bouncers about my skinhead days and returning to them when I got into an altercation with one of the Northern crew. I did some kind of dance/martial art move on him where I got him to the ground and slid quite a few feet with him off the dance-floor to under a table and I wanted him to see that I could have broken his neck against the table leg if I'd not shown restraint & actually wanted to kill him.

The final part of the dream was probably down to me being at the nightclub last weekend and nearly fighting someone I suspected of stealing my phone last year. The music would have hailed back to a time when I was involved in that culture (I still am in a limited capacity). And again I'm sure watching 'Game Of Thrones' before bed influenced this dream because of the whole Northern/southern thing going on.

Last night I experienced several dreams. As I went to sleep I let my imagination take hold and it began with myself and one of my nieces boarding a magic carpet which flew around wherever I willed it. So it took us through the town, then through some woods and suddenly whizzed up into space and rushed around the sun!

The dream seemed to transpire out of my control more then & we were on a water slide at a swimming pool & my Father, sister & other niece were there also. There was another inactive slide next to the one we were on but because there were so many people on this slide we were on, it was starting to get jammed & my sister decided to go onto the inactive slide with one of my nieces. We soon realised this slide was inactive as the water in there was cold and still so I quickly tried to pull them both out of the cold water & back onto our functioning slide! Other details were that my Dad was contributing to blocking the slide because of his weight (he is quite fat in the gut area! And also I recently helped him sign up for swimming classes which he starts soon so am sure this dream's related to this).

Another dream I had last night involved old friends again this time they were people I used to buy marijuana from before I stopped smoking. I was debating with them and I think they were trying to get me to keep smoking & buying it but I was refusing so it was getting more & more heated until I went to attack the one who is the major dealer and the other who I am closer to as a friend (we played music together in bands etc) had to restrain me & hold my arms back to stop me from attacking him!
The dream seemed to change then to include my sister, the same one from the previous dream. She actually still smokes marijuana so I can also understand where this dream came from. We were pursuing the guy who'd restrained me from hitting the dealer to get my sister some weed. For some reason he lived atop a hill with a driveway leading up it that was covered in a massive sheet with weed sprinkled all over it!
We waited at the foot of the hill for him to get some from his house because we weren't allowed to touch the stash sprinkled over the giant sheet on the driveway leading up the hill. Despite this my sister started digging into it and when she'd got enough I said we should leave & I woke up!

I then fell back asleep again only to think I was still awake on my computer on the Dailybooth social networking site where I saw an old house mate of mine in lots of photos. Shortly after this I woke for real and immediately signed onto my laptop & came here to fill out my DJ because I was amazed at having this many dreams in one night that all began with a semi lucid exercise in my imagination
