Thread: Nick Kanieval's Dream Journal

Hello! I don't know if any of you remember me, because I probably don't remember any of you, but the last time I posted on here was about a year and a half ago...

Well I dropped out of my Lucid Dreaming because I was very inexperienced and going through a very stressful time of my life, so I didn't even bother with trying anymore, so of couse I stopped writing down my dreams, stopped coming to the forums, stopped altogether.

Well thanks to two unbelievable dreams I recently had(which will be the first ones I put down here) that were the most vivid, real-feeling impacting dreams I have EVER had.

The dreams themselves wont look that extrordrinary to someone else, it was a "had to be there" sort of thing(as most dreams are) so I will elaborate.

The dreams were so incredible because of the atmosphere of it all, taking complete joy in the most basics of life, moving, running, jumping, breathing, being ALIVE, it was nirvana. and the second one was just as much, being in the heart of combat, parrying, dodging, being one with the blade, every swing and spin and leap, every movement was like an extension myself being manifistated in pure combat, it was incredible.

As a final note, please put questions or comments in blue, I'll answer in red, and FINALLY! Without further ado, my frist two dreams for the first entry.

October 6, Friday 2006

Before the serious things started, there were some odd parts I don't remember very well. One was my mom was asking me to swim, and I didn't want to get wet, another was someone was yelling at me "Do you know what's IN this river?!" and I remember thinking about Pirrahna.

I was in a big forest setting, I was jumping across a river on some logs to get to the other side, I vaguely remember that my mom wanted me to get something and bring back, so I continued on the other side. I find my dog Max curled up on the ground asleep by a tree, so I wake him up. "C'mon Max, let's go back to the house" , he wakes up and wags his tail, he follows me to the river, but Max hates deep water, so I pick him up easily and hop across again, and then I become aware of what I am in this dream.

A Werewolf.

Except, in the dream I don't look at it as a bad thing at all, my transformations are always known to me in advance, and I do not lose full control, and the changes themselves are welcoming, being at one with the heart of the wolf, being one with the animal world, with the beasts, it's nirvana.

However most of these things cary over into my regular life, my endurance, strength, perception, and all senses are incredibly enhanced and powerful, I can run at great speeds with little effort for very long periods of time, I can jump great lengths and heights, and my strength scales with the mightiest bears, or even elephants. It is truly a gift.

How did I become one? I have no idea.

I run back to the house with my dog, the house sits on a hill, apparently in the middle of a forest, it's fall and dead leaves litter across everything in sight, I laugh as I run around the hill for fun with Max, and then I notice people behind me riding up on horses, I didn't actually turn my head around to see them, but I knew they were there. I walk into the house with Max, it's nowhere near like my actual house, the rooms are completely different, and it has two stories, and the floors are wooden, we still have our big picture window though, except it's in my room.

I go to lay down for a while, about 10 minutes pass, when I get up I hear voices in the house, I go down the hallway and I see my mom talking with with people at the front door, there are three people, two girls, and a guy, one of the girls see's me, she has short black hair, she looks at me oddly for a moment before talking to my mom again with the others, I don't really remember what any of them were saying.

I walk up to them and my mom leaves with the other two, I smile and say hello, introducing myself.
"Hi, I'm Nick."
"Hi..."
"So how do you guys know my mom?"

I don't remember what happens at this point, the next thing I remember is I'm walking away back to the kitchen, I was still in a cheery mood so I guess nothing happened, when I hear her behind me.

"He's a Werewolf."

The shock of hearing these words causes me to literally fall down, this when I obtain new information about who I am in this dream, only one person besides myself knows what I am.
I stand up and stare at her for a few seconds.
"How do you know?" I ask her seriously.
"Don't worry...it's just...I never thought I would meet one."
She says exasperatingly, and then she walks away.

I lose memory and the next thing I remember is I'm in my room, looking out the picture window, and a friend is with me.
"First stage is coming soon." he says, and I get new information about who I am in this dream. The transformations have two stages, the first stage I turn into a very regular looking Wolf, and then the second stage I transform into a full Werewolf.
"I know...we should get out of the house, ready?"
He nods and we quietly make our way down the stairs, and out of the house, we stop about 20 feet away from the house and we begin to shift, the transformation is not uncomfortable at all, I almost feel myself falling asleep when I change, but I'm still aware of my body moving as I shift into a wolf, we complete the transformation and we run into the forest.

The next thing I remember is I'm walking back to the house from the forest, my friend is gone and it's a little after dawn.

Once again I lose memory and the next thing I remember is I'm outside, and there's a huge area with nothing but towering red rocks(at least 20 feet tall) all around, and I'm alone, but there are people on the other side(which is about 50 feet away). Apparently my brother is supposed to climb up this huge wall of rocks and get to my side. Before he starts though, I become aware of something cracking in the structure. I pick up my walkie talkie and chime in.

"Uhh, hey Eric, I don't think you should do this, I hear something breaking"
He answers back "What? I built this, it's perfectly fine."
I throw down the walkie and I leap onto the rock, jumping at least a good 8 or 9 feet directly up, I then pull myself up with ease, and start to run to the other side, the entire thing is coming down, crumbling and breaking, I leap the last distance and land on the other side, my brother is pinned down at the legs by a fallen rock, and the black haired girl from the other night is positioning a large wooden beam to keep the rocks from falling, just as I get there a large slab comes off, I position myself and catch, I push it off of me and lift the rock off his legs and help drag him away.

The next thing I know we're in town, he's been rushed to the hospital, and I'm with the black haired girl and her friend. She's talking to other people and I try and get her attention to thank her, but for some reason she doesn't hear me. I lean against a wall, exausted.

Then the other girl I never met who came to my house walks up and introduces herself, she has hazle hair and green eyes, a little taller then the other girl
"Hi! I'm Andrea"

I look up wearily and say "Hi" and then look back down, I hear her footsteps walking away, and I suddenly realise how rude I just was, so I walk back to her, tap her on the shoulder and say "Hi, I'm sorry. I'm really tired, I'm Nick."

She smiles at me.

Then the dream ends.






October 6, Friday 2006

This one occurs right after the first one above, I woke up and stayed awake thinking about it for a minute, and then I went back to sleep. An interesting note is it's the same principle: I'm a Werewolf, exactly like how I was in the first dream, except there are ALOT of different changes.

I'm older, my hair is longer in the back, I'm clad in armor, and I have a sword, I'm apparently in some medieval age, and when it starts I'm running with an army of Centaur.
"We ride to battle! We ride to war! We ride to victory!" the Centaur chanted in unison, I broke off from them and went to a clearing, the same setting is we're in a forest, except it's green, not fall or anything.

I run up to a human on a horse, there's a carriage behind him.
"You ready?" he asks me
"Yep"
We walk down the road, it's a dirt path, and another horseman rides ahead to scout.
Suddenly he runs back and yells "Ambush!" My friend immediatly draws back with the carriage, I run ahead, drawing my sword.
Four bowman are ahead, shooting, they all seem to slow down as I ran towards them, dodging their arrows and cutting them down, I grabbed the last one and lifted him from his feet, staring into his eyes before I finished him off.

The next thing I remember in the dream is I'm cleaning blood off my sword, I'm still outside, I resheathe it and then I walk for a bit before stopping, and then I start to transform.

The dream ended, sadly by means of the phone waking me up.

October 7, Saturday 2006

The dream starts is I'm playing a video game with some friends, it looks like a really odd version of World of Warcraft, but I'm not sure. Someone is sailing a boat and they get stuck, so I go and help them out, then me and a group of people approach this temple where a boss is. We step inside and four giant naga-type creatures called the Siren appear out of nowhere and start attacking us, we defeat them easily. I then discover that I didn't get a certain quest for this, so we go allll the way back to town, and then come back, and re-kill them again. We hang out in the temple for a while talking, I don't remember what we were talking about though.

Then the dream takes a big change, and suddenly I'm driving a car down a road to a school, where there's a rodeo I want to see. At first I'm not sure where to go, and finnaly I see a turn off to the right, and sure enough there's the school, there are students walking in and out.

I walk up to the guy selling the rodeo tickets, and at this point I realize I'm in my old gym clothes...that have no pockets, and therefore, I have no money. So I simply walk back, and then I walk inside the school.

The dream shifts again, I'm leaving the school and I'm passing a big test hall, I'm in some regular clothes now, my light desert camo pants and a grey shirt. As I'm passing the rows of students doing their test, my friend Brianna stands up and says "Hey! You're leaving?" "Yep, gotta go home now" I reply, and she comes over and gives me a hug goodbye. She holds on to my hand and says "Well at least let me walk you out" We walk out to my car and she gives me another hug, "I wuv you" I say jokingly, and she says "I love you too". I'm not sure how it happened, but I end up leaning against the back of my car with her leaning on me with her head on my left shoulder, and her arms around me, we both have our eyes closed and it's very very peaceful.

"Don't leave...you don't have to" she says to me quietly.
I didn't answer, and we just sat there in silence, save for our gentle breathing.

Then I notice a small Mexican family to our right, playing, an old short woman, and three little kids. One of the kids points up and says "Look!" I look and it's a rather large bird circling, it comes down and lands on a tree in front of us. It's very colorful, with reds and yellows and orange, and for some reason I get a hostile presence from it, thankfully it flies away and the rest of the dream continues with us sitting there in a peaceful embrace untill the dream ends.
