Thread: redisreddish's mess of dreams

I just watched 9 last night, (the Tim Burton movie with the little ragdolls) and that definitely explains the first dream.

~~~9~~~

Me and my friends Austin and Justin were running through a totally destroyed landscape. There were piles of rocks and garbage and wrecked vehicles everywhere, and a bunch of really big piles in the distance that were really close together to form a wall. There was no grass; no life anywhere except for us. We had to get to a house on the other side of the wall before the machine got us. The dream kept switching from me and my friends to the ragdolls, who were also trying to get to the house. So I was climbing over a rusty car and all of a sudden there was a crash behind me, and I turned around and saw Justin climbing up the car and Austin throwing pieces of metal at the machine, which had found us.

"Run, stupid!" Justin yelled. Austin ignored him and continued pelting the machine with bits of metal. Then it switched to the ragdolls. They were jumping down from a ledge and then 6 was about to climb up some vines when a voice said, "I wouldn't do that..." and laughed evilly.
"Snakes!" 6 cried right as a bunch of snakes came out of nowhere and wrapped around his legs and arms.
Here it switched again, and I was now being dragged into a room by those same snakes, and Justin was behind me and Austin behind him. I stuck out my hands and feet and caught the sides of the doorway the snakes were trying to take us through. They yanked hard and my hands slipped, and I shouted, "Hey! You're pulling my shirt up!"
"Oh, oh sorry miss," One of the snakes said. "You can just go, we won't bother you again." The snakes let us go. As we ran out of the room, I heard the same snake say, "Carl, why did you have to do that? You're so rude."
"There's got to be a secret switch here somewhere..." Austin said, feeling the walls and floor.
"Let's just use the door," I said. There was a big silver door leading outside. We went through it and were right outside the big wall of wrecked stuff. I heard screaming and loud crashes, and saw that the machine was coming right at us, climbing on the wall, and the ragdolls were running away from it.
"Go, go, go!" I shouted. We ran towards the wall. We had to go over several fences, and then the wall had turned into a huge chasm. The machine was coming up fast and the ragdolls were right next to us. I scooped all of them up and leapt over the chasm. Austin and Justin followed, and the house we had to get to was just ahead of us. We ran in and the machine didn't come after us. Then we just showed the lady living there the dolls and that's where the dream ended.

(from left to right): 6, 5, 9, 4, 3.

And then just a fragment
~~~Party~~~

I was standing outside a house, and there was some kind of party going on inside. A bunch of cats ran out of the house and got hit by a car. There were a bunch of loaves of bread on the ground.

Awesome! Another shared dream, my little vampire friend!

Happy New Year!!

Not so happily, I can't remember any dreams.

First dream, I can't remember anything. Woke up an hour later, had a FILD fail and fell back asleep. That dream, I was dragging either a heavy suitcase or my saxophone up a huge flight of stairs. Right as that dream started to fade into another, I woke up again. It had been about five hours, so I tried WBTB. I couldn't get back to sleep! Almost and hour later, I fell back asleep and had some dream about being in a bar, and someone was yelling because their champagne or wine or something got spilled all over.

I'm really starting to get depressed; I haven't had a lucid in four months!

the last part! WOW check Raven Knights last dream. I think you might have been there.

*reads* ...!!!!! Wow. I wish I could remember it better!

Ugh, I think the reason my recall hasn't been especially good is because I've been sick. I almost puked my guts up this morning. I know, too much information! Anyways.

I was sitting on a pile of wood, and Alvin and the chipmunks popped up and started asking me what my name was.
"What's your name?" Alvin asked.
"Uh... Taylor."
"No, your other name," he said.
"Red."
"That's not it!"
"Reddish."
"The whole thing!"
"...I don't know what you're talking about."

I was getting some kind of amusement from keeping my name from them, I think. After they shut up I was on the phone with someone from DV. Can't remember who.

I didn't write anything down this morning because I woke up late and nearly missed the bus. Now I can't remember the dream, but I know I was satisfied when I woke up. I'm pretty sure I accomplished something.

keep trying. you have an uncanny ability to show up with us. just need to work on the recall.

Ain't that the truth. But I wrote down everything I could remember as soon as I woke up. Here it is:

~~~Bell's back~~~

I was in my back yard. There was a yellow tent, and my parents and little sister were sitting outside it. My mom was trying to teach my little sister something, but she wouldn't listen. I told my mom something along the lines of, "She has her own free will." Then I was trying to put a bike inside the tent. There will spikey spheres on the ground; they were some kind of plant. The tent kept blowing away. I gave up on that and walked over to the barn. Bell (my dog, who has been gone for almost a year) was there. I was really happy that she was back home. Molly (my other dog) ran up, and the two started to chase each other. (I'll put in a pic of Bell and Molly when my computer stops acting up)

~~~Base?~~~

I was in some type of underground place, or a warehouse; either way it was big, with dim lighting, and had a lot of metal. I'm pretty sure it was some kind of base or headquarters. At the beginning of this, I very briefly became lucid. It was just enough time for me know I was dreaming, and to start trying something. I was in a hallway and the walls were pretty tall, so I climbed about halfway up a wall and then jumped off and forward to the other wall. I lost lucidy, but continued to do the wall-jumping thing. I know my description is bad. If you've seen X-Men Origins, it looked kind of like how Victor was chasing after the kid Cyclops. Anyways, after a while a guy started yelling and chasing me. (Somewhere along the line I became a vampire) I ran away from him for a while, but finally ended up in what I think was a kitchen and I couldn't go anywhere. I got on a counter and watched the guy advance on me, holding a knife. Right as he was about to attack me, I bared my teeth and snarled at him. I got a kick out of the look on his face as he ran away.

~~~Ogre Lucid~~~

I was walking in a really hilly field covered with snow. I think I was looking for a place to go sledding. I kept walking until I ended up on a road, then I turned around and went back into the field. This time I ended up at a house. There was suddenly a random girl walking with me. She ran to the back of the house, and I heard the doorbell ring. I went to hide in case whoever lived there came out the front door I was standing by. I didn't hide in time, though. As the guy who lived at the house opened the door I ran around to the back saying, "I'm nobody! I'm not here! I'm not here!"
So I went to the back door where the girl had already entered the house. I went in, and there was a room in front of me where a guy was explaining a complicated security system to protect his cat. There was a big ogre-type guy standing next to the cat, also protecting it. He looked like one of the ogres from Ella Enchanted. (Couldn't find a smaller pic...) The owner of the house was explaining about the 6 different force field layers of the security system, and the ogre guy was paying serious attention, so the girl next to me rolled her eyes and walked right over to the cat. She opened the front door and picked the cat up. The ogre started to turn around and said, "What the..." and then he realized that the girl was taking the cat. I ran back out the back door.
I was aware that this had happened before. (I've had this dream one or two other times.) I did an RC, but decided that I wasn't dreaming. (I just pinched myself. Grrr.) I knew that the ogre was going to come to my house and search for me, and that it was going to become a nightmare. Yeah, I didn't think it was a dream, but I knew it was going to be a nightmare.
When I got to my house, I saw the ogre looking in the garage and RCd again. This time I pinched myself, did the nose-pinch thing, and actually looked at the situation. Huzzah! Lucidity! I ran into my house and went to the living room. I wanted to see if I could get any powers to work, so I lept at the TV and started to fall through it. It was like sinking through really, really thick syrupy water. I went all the way through and fell into my room. Someone was walking around out in the hall. I decided to try and find my dream guide. It was my mom in the hall, and I told her that she needed to get out of the house so the ogre didn't find her, but she mumbled something about being sleepy and just stood there. I started to push her back to her room, telling her to go to sleep, then, because she was just a DC. She didn't object.
"Is anybody here?" I called out. "My dream guide?" But there was no answer. I went back into my room and punched the window. A kind of pale, ghost image of it being shattered appeared and then faded away, but I knew it was broken. I dived through it and slammed belly-flop style into the ground. (Yeah... need to work on the flying.) I could hear the ogre in the barn, so I tried to jump high enough to get flying, still calling for my dream guide. I was doing that when my mom woke me up!

I'm so happy that I finally had a decent lucid. With that and the kind-of-lucid the night before, I'm really, REALLY happy!

lucid dreams will be... this color!

Yup yup. Feel free to comment on whatever.

Here's the first dream.

-ahem- Well, I was in a forest. It was a nice forest, really dark, quiet, you know. I was walking along a little path when I spotted my friend J.R. He looked lost, so I ran up to him and said, "Hi!" He looked at me with a startled expression and told me I was a vampire. I thought he was just being stupid, but it turned out that he was telling the truth. (for some odd reason, I'm often a vampire in my dreams)
"Well," I said to him, "are you lost?" He replied by telling me that he had 'misplaced his popsicle' and was looking for it. I helped him for a while, looking under rocks and and in bird nests and such, (because a popsicle would obviously be in those places) until I got bored and suggested that we have a fight. J.R. agreed, and blue fireballs appeared in his hands. I told him that if I won the fight, I would get to kill him, and if he won, I would leave him alone. He agreed to that, (why? I don't know) and we started fighting; he shot fire at me and I just dodged it and ran around. Eventually, I knocked his feet out from under him and pinned him to the ground.
"Hey J.R.," I told him. "You lose." Then I woke up.

It was a cool dream, but I'm disappointed that I woke up before I got to kill him. It's not that I enjoy murdering people, it just would've been interesting to see how that would have turned out.

HI Taylor how are you

Nice lucid! Too bad your mom woke you before you could find your dream guide. You'll find your dream guide next time!

HI Taylor how are you

I get the picture, Trev. I'm fine.

Gratz!

Kick that orgre's butt. Find your dream guide, soon you will, my little vampire friend.

Grr... my recall vanished.

All I remember is that it was dark, and there was quite a bit of fighting.

Also, for some reason I've been waking up at certain times every night. 99% percent sure there's a pattern to the times, but I'm going to start writing down them down just to make sure. I'm almost positive I'm waking up after every dream. No idea why, it just started happening a few days ago and hasn't stopped. I can never remember any dreams when I wake up at those times, though.

Can't remember a single thing. I woke up this morning and grabbed my DJ because I could remember the dreams really clearly, and then WHAM. They just completely blanked out of my mind.

This same exact thing happened to this woman who wrote this book, Creative Dreaming that I have been reading. I just read this a few days ago. She suddenly started waking up, at the end of her dreams, many times a night. Keep a notepad near your bed, and jot some things down in the dark to jog your memory in the morning, or use a voice recorder.

I'm using a notebook; I'll look at my results probably Thursday or Friday.

Can only recall a fragment, but an interesting fragment indeed:
Standing in my yard. A man suddenly appeared in front of me, holding what looked like a blob of darkness in his hand. I turned around, and a woman was there, also holding a handful of darkness. I started trying to create a fireball in my hand to throw at one of them, but couldn't get it to work. The two people laughed and looked like they were about to throw the blobs. Someone coughed quietly off to the side. I looked over, and there was a guy standing in the shadow of a big tree.
"Music," he said quietly.
I snapped into lucidity, but then woke up.

There was more before that. Can't remember it.

Cool. Raven uses music a lot in dreams for spells. Maybe that guy was telling you that's what you need to do.

Exactly what I thought.

Ugh, this waking up and falling asleep and waking up and falling asleep is murdering my recall. It should be helping, but it's having the opposite effect. Just a frag today.

I was in a house where there were two copies of my room. I was thinking that it would be helpful because I'd have more space to put all my stuff. Then I was playing some video game where I had to make the character do skateboard tricks.
