Thread: Caradon's Dream Journal

The jump
In a plane on some military mission. There is some girl with me who is a part of the military. We are going to jump from the plane, to parachute into some battle. I suddenly realize i don't know how to work the chute, and I ask the pilot how to release it. He shows me how to work a series of complicated switches and buttons that will release the chute. I'm not sure I have it figured out, and I'm not sure I will be able to do it correctly under the stress of falling from the plane.

The girl with me is experienced at this. So I tell her that I'm going to hang onto her while we jump so that she can make sure my chute gets opened. She is OK with this, and our jump site approaches. The door of the plane is open, and we half jump, half fall from the plane. The wind is blowing strong, and we are a bit wobbly at first, and I work to smooth out our fall. I'm thrilled, and I say to the girl."Yay we are flying, just like in a dream! We better do a reality check!" I start reaching for my nose to do one, but the wind throws us around a bit, and both hands are busy trying to get things smoothed out.

This moment feels different from any other dream I have had like this. And I don't really think it's a dream. But I'm still about to do a reality check anyway. ( I forgot to mention it's night.) We fall through some clouds, and beyond the edge of another cloud coming up. I see a sight so beautiful, that I'm momentarily distracted from my reality check.(Still have not forgotten I need to do one though,) We are falling down towards point's of light in the darkness. It's almost as if we are falling towards a star filled night sky. instead of the ground.

Dumb struck by the beauty of the moment, I say. " Oh wow look at that!" And we fly past the edge of that last cloud, and I wake up.

This was the tail end of a longer dream. I didn't feel like writing all of it. It was a little confusing anyway.
If this dream would have lasted a few moments longer. I would have gotten the reality check done, and been Lucid. This was a very amazing dream moment though, that's going to be with me for a while.

Alien in the closet
I'm cleaning out my closet when I see this box that looks like mice have been living in it.
I look closer and I see this very large rat sleeping in the box. I'm surprised that all my moving boxes around had not woken it up. It's hard to describe this part, but the next time I look I see this tentacled thing, injecting some poison into a cat. and when the cat is paralyzed, the thing eats it. The next thing I know the alien thing is out of the closet and is bigger than a person, it looks sort of like a jelly fish. It's a kind of red and purple color with a big head, and long stringy tentacles hanging off it. I run for help. I find my brother and tell him to get his gun. Because of the alien. He laughs at me, but he goes looking for a gun anyway.

This is a good example of what The Cusp was talking about.

I don't have as much time to be on the computer lately. That's why I have not been around as much.

Hey, so much blue in here the last few days! And an almost-lucid parachute jump. I think you get better all of the time.

Just do however much you can or feel like Caradon--even if the only thing you have time for is just keeping up with your journal, that's great, cuz it's inspiration for the rest of us.

Welcome back!

Thanks, definitely trying to get better all the time.

Yeah I'll for sure be writing dreams. At least on the nights when I can. I've been working later and getting late naps. So by the time I get what I need done around the house It's usually just about midnight already. Makes it hard to do anything. Plus with spring coming up fast, I'm going to want to spend as much time at the park with the dog as I can. But I'll be getting around the journals when I can too.

I bet that was one hell of a freaky dream!

Thanks mark. Yeah I know there is nothing like it. I actually shouldn't even have needed a reality check in that dream. but oh well, At least I recognized the dreamsign.

Yeah that alien dream was pretty freaky. It was one strange looking alien I'll tell you.


Not really much to write about from last night. A couple of dreams about being at the mall. I had a hard time falling asleep. I did WILD into several scenes while trying to force myself asleep. but nothing really significant. I can't even remember all of them very well. Some of them I was lucid for a bit, some not.

I know, it's hard to do it all....

Yeah I know. The dream ended so soon though, that it wouldn't have mattered much anyway.


Fear
I'm in a car. My step dad is driving, and my mom is riding shot-gun. My brother and I are sitting in the back. We come to a wooden bridge, and are driving over it. My step dad is driving fast, and I can tell that the wood that makes up the road is rotting.

As we progress along it, I can see large holes in the road, where it has rotted away completely.
It gets so bad that I don't see any way that we can possibly make it across. I freak out and tell my step dad to stop. He stops, but he is intent on driving across. I'm to scared, so I tell him I'm getting out of the car. I get out, and he begins driving forward.
He doesn't make more than a foot before the car sinks through the rotted wood, and begins to fall.

I can see through the gap where the car fell through. And I'm horrified to see how far of a fall it actually is. The ground is far far below. I watch helpless as the car with my family tumbles end over end through empty air. the car finally hits the ground upside down. Crushing in the roof, and then bouncing and rolling a few times before coming to a stop. Stunned and in shock, I run back across the bridge. Once off the bridge I start making a mad run down the side of a cliff. leaping and skidding out of control, with little regard to my own safety. I'm expecting to see them all crushed, and torn apart. But I have to get down there and see.

Once to the car, I look inside. And there sits my family, fine and happy as can be. They are all joking about how fun that was, and they want to do it again!

I guess the DC's were getting back at me for all the time I spend freaking them out!

Actually, I think this was an attempt by my subconscious to get me Lucid. If I would have fallen with the car, I probably would have been Lucid.

Isn't that funny, when your SC saves yourself from a horrible dream at the last second? I've had that happen before. It's a relief, anyway. That seems like a situation you would get lucid in, running down like that.

Yeah, that could have really been bad.

Your right, I could have gotten Lucid either from falling in the car, or running down the cliff.

OMG LAWL!

Today has been a funny day on DV

Two Lucid Dreams
Sunday/March/30/2008
Lucid Dream # 21 of 2008
Tornado dreamsign recognized
Reality check induced Lucidity

I'm having one of those weird bathroom dreams. I leave the bathroom and walk to the buildings exit, intending to go home. I step outside, and it's cloudy. I begin hearing storm sirens.(Just like in my last tornado dream.) I look around, and I can see the tornado off in the distance. It's tearing through the city, and I can see smoke from random fires throughout the destruction. The tornado is sweeping back and forth, and heading my way. I think about trying to make it home, But it's now to close and I don't think I can make it.

I go back inside, there are many people there, that are aware of the tornado. The tornado has swept across the landscape and is somehow coming at us from the opposite direction from where I first saw it. I don't feel to safe in this building, I don't think it will hold up to a direct hit. I go and look out the back window, and I can see the tornado not more than about fifty feet away. and coming right at us. It looks like a black wall. I go into the other room, and I think that this is like a tornado dream, and I should do a reality check. It feels kind of strange as I reach up to pinch my nose. Because I don't think it's a dream at all this time, and I'm seconds from being hit by a tornado for real. But I take the time to do a reality check anyway. And I can breath!

I want to double make sure, so I push my finger into the palm of my hand really hard. It starts to sink in, and this time I turn my hand over and watch as my finger pokes through the top of my hand. It's pretty cool, the skin on the top of my hand begins to rise, and my finger pops through it. I push it all the way through as far as I can. I show my hand to a near by woman. I wiggle the finger sticking through, and all the fingers on the other hand as well. She looks surprised, and I pull my finger out of my hand.

I tell the crowd to watch out the window, because I'm going to go jump into the tornado. I walk out the front door, and around the back. To my surprise, the tornado has now transformed into this girl I work with, and She is wearing a black dress. She is the tornado personified. I'm clear minded enough to think about this in the dream, and it makes sense to me. I can see her as being a tornado. She is a forceful person, and quite full of wind as well. And has really gotten on my nerves over the last two weeks.

She starts to walk away, and I shout " Hey tornado! Get over here! I'm going to kick your ass!" She stops, and I walk over to her. I jump right into her, like I was planning to jump into the original tornado. At first I phase right through here, because she is nothing but wind. (just like in real life.)

I then grab her around the waist with one arm, and take off flying with her. Intending to get her away from the building, to save the people inside. As I do, I'm wondering if they can see her as the girl, or if they still see her as a tornado. I imagine that if they see her as the tornado still, I must look like superman taking the tornado away from them.

I fly up with her, high above the buildings and the nearest trees. I here the girl gasp in surprise, and I realize that it's because of the amazing view spreading out before us. I say, "yeah I know, isn't that awesome? Thats' why I love Lucid dreaming so much."

I now remember that I wanted to practice my TK. And I remember my last lucid where it failed me, and I had trouble flying. As soon as think about that, I get a really weird tingly sensation in my stomach, and I begin to sink back to the ground. I wake up before sinking all the way back down.

Thanks to reality checking, I'm two for two on the tornado dreamsign.
Time to start renting tornado shows!
