But it was actually a sandbank made out of salami.



I crawled out of the river and decided to go to class.

A substitute professor walked in and told us that our professor quit because she found a better job. And that the rest of the year would be a free for all. And that for today we were just going to go canoeing.

When she said that, all I could think about was that nasty salami...

Today, that same professor told us that she may be leaving to go back to her home country for the rest of the semester, and that she would find a permanent substitute teacher for the remaining month.

Not only that, but my friend and I were going to go canoeing tomorrow.

DAFUQ?!

"Next time you get a chance...Look at the floor...Wipe it clean with something and really look...And you'll see what he doesn't want you too," he whispered.

I was certain that he was spewing out nonsense, but I decided to give it a shot. I was convinced that after I tried and nothing happened, that I would be completely embarrassed that I took his words seriously.

I took a cloth and dampened it with some water. I glided it across the floor, removing the buildup of dust.

And then I saw what he was talking about.

From the right angle and light, there seemed to be pictures on the floor. I called my housemates over, and we started scrubbing down the floor.

The pictures we saw were strange. A lot of them didn't make sense. They looked like malevolent fractals.

There was one in particular though that was totally crazy. It was a half pyramid, with the eye of horus in the center. From the top of the pyramid there was a light being emitted.

And then, from the shadows, we saw the Horrifying House Guest.

He asked us what we were doing. And then told us that we shouldn't be doing that.

And that he'd be keeping a close eye on us now.

Where ever we went, he followed and just stood in the shadows watching us.

When we decided to leave the house, he didn't allow that. So we escaped (yeah, I forgot the middle part of this dream, as you can tell).

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for March 15:

My phone's alarm clock mysteriously stopped working, so I've been having to wake up without an alarm...Which is kinda difficult.

Love that one, and the drawing is sick - Well good, captures its essence.

Rollercoasters Make me Sick

I was at a rollercoaster park with two other guys. I had forgotten to take anti motion sickness medicine, so I was getting a bit dizzy and nauseous.

We stopped for a moment so that I wouldn't vomit all over the place.

I started floating up into the air.

I thought that this was pretty strange, so I became relatively certain that I was dreaming. I looked at my hands for any indication. Normally, they almost always have 6 fingers when I am dreaming, but they looked relatively normal though.

I didn't need a supplementary reality check to confirm that I was dreaming though. I already knew because I could fly.

I didn't feel much pressure or motivation to change the dream. It was just kind of nice just floating there and relaxing.

I was then awoken by my alarm clock.

Wipeout Slip N Slide

My friends and I decided it would be a great idea to put a Slip n slide in our bathroom!

The Slip N Slide lead down to the bath tub, that had a few inches of water in it.

To make things more complicated, it wasn't a normal slip n slide. Instead of just going down it, you would morph into one of the futuristic cars from Wipeout and then race each other down.

I know I can't draw, but I'm worse with words.

Just Another Dentist Visit

My mother and sister were rushing me to get into the car so that we wouldn't be late for our dentist appointment.

I was searching for something that I couldn't find, until they finally got angry enough that they just shoved me into the car.

We drove off to the dentist's office and when we got there, the place was a mess.

When it was my turn, I was lead to the chair where my teeth would be cleaned.

I felt the sudden urge to use the bathroom, so I excused myself for a few moments and went downstairs.

After using the bathroom, the walls of the room collapsed and everyone around me broke out into song.

I was just like

cause their song sucked.

I went back down to the dentist's office. I was informed that while I had been away, the doctor had looked at my history of x-rays and found that my teeth/jaw was in critical condition and that this would affect the rest of my well being.

Because of this, it was mandatory that I reside at the doctor's house while I was undergoing treatment. I protested this for awhile, but no other option was given to me.

During my stay at the doctor's house, I felt something sinister in the air. I felt like I was being watched. I felt like shit was going to hit the fan.

He seemed temperamental. With a side dish of maliciousness.

There had been other patients staying at his house as well. And sometimes they just mysteriously disappeared without warning.

I felt like he was hiding something.

When I thought he was gone, I started looking through all of the forbidden areas of his house.

I opened a door that lead to a staircase going up.

The lights were off, but as soon as my eyes adjusted I immediately saw two of his victims - dead.

Their eyes seemed to be frozen open, as if they were still in the climax of their terror.

The victim closest to me, who I was nearly eye level with when I opened the door, had an axe bashed through her skull. Her brains were oozing out. Her body seemed to be rigid in fright, though she was already dead.

The second victim, who I didn't pay as much attention to from the shock of seeing the first victim, had her guts strewn out across the flooring. Her body had been carelessly discarded on the staircase.

At that moment I knew it was now or never. I had to leave NOW. The doctor would be back from work at any moment.

There was one other patient that I knew of who was living here too, so I woke him up and told him that we needed to leave now. I offered only a brief explanation to him, insisting that he didn't want to see the murder.

Him and I ran to the front of the house and opened the front door.

And we were surged with terror at what we saw.

We saw the dark silhouette of the doctor standing at the edge of the sidewalk.

He was facing the street. He was wearing a black hat and trench coat.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The withered trees creaked.

My escapee and I thought in unison: Perhaps we can silently escape?

We attempted to stealthily sneak across the dead grass as it crunched under our feet. Our hearts were pounding out of our chest.

We had made it only to the neighbors house when he heard the snapping of a twig under our feet. He looked over.

And he was displeased at what he saw.

He took out a gun, and shot my partner.

My partner fell to the ground.

"RUN! JUST GO!" He yelled, clenching his side. But I couldn't just go. I attempted to take him with me by any means possible. I tried to drag him by his arms, but it was too slow. He was much too heavy for me to carry him.

And the doctor was running towards us faster than we could move.

He shot at us again, the bullets hitting both him and I.

I had passed out momentarily from the impact, but when I woke up our situation had dramatically declined.

We were now attached by rope to the back of his car.

I knew where this was going.

He turned on the engine and began to drive the car.

We were dragged across the pavement, slowly being skinned alive.

Careless Lucids

I got lucid twice last night, but in both dreams I really didn't have much motivation to change the dream. I had discovered it was a dream based off of the feeling of dreaminess.

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Though, the sleep I got was good. Later in the afternoon I took a nap in the library. I meant to sleep for only twenty minutes but I slept for an hour. It was an amazing nap. I think I was more tired than I thought I was. Before falling asleep I was getting HEAVY auditory and visual hypnagogia. Almost heavy enough to be in the polyphasic range. I was even dreaming quite vividly during my short nap. It was so nice and refreshing!

Peeling Away

I looked at my thumb. The skin around it was peeling away. It was sore and really hurt.

Some relevant music.



Spice Girls?!

I was in a plaza with Dread. It was snowing and I was wearing sandals, but the snow felt warm to me. I was kind of confused by this. I think I also may have been drunk.

Out of nowhere, the Spice Girls start singing in the park. They're singing "When Two Become One."

I start living a childhood dream and rocking out with them.

And then we had a snowball fight!

Return of Hate

Background story: In highschool, I had a teacher that I passionately disliked. He was the definition of douche.

In my dream, I had enrolled in an art class. And guess what? The teacher that I had disliked so strongly in highschool was the one that was going to teach it.

Oh fuck my life.

He recognized me, and then came over to me and started verbally attacking me. He took my phone from me and said that he wasn't going to give it back until after the semester ended.

After class, I found myself walking around the strange art building trying to find the teacher...When I realized that this wasn't even my university.

I felt like I was in a castle. Something out of Hogwarts. The halls were dark and made out of stone.

I walked down a hall that was supposed to be a mental health clinic. This place looked so creepy.

I walked into one of the rooms and saw an artist painting. Her things were scattered across the room. The dim light that came from the rusty window made her easel glow a warm hue.

It's only a little Dangerous

My friend and I were biking in the mountains. To be more specific, we were biking
off the mountains.

The goal was to bike off the edge of the cliff and then land on a small ledge slightly below it and peddle down that path.

Of course, in my dreams, nothing goes as planned and we found ourselves biking off the edge of the cliff.

A drop the size of the Grand Canyon.

Even though we had already fallen multiple times from this height, and the pain from falling was harsh, this didn't deter us from trying again to land the jump.

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for March 24:

Kreuzberg

My family and I were in Kreuzberg, Germany! We were on the street, heading to Istanbul, when I noticed how beautiful the clouds were.

It was sunset and the clouds were pink. We were driving over a bridge and the pink clouds were street level. It was so pretty that I tried to take a picture of it with my phone!

Spoiler for Sleep Graph for March 26:

Worst Time to Wake Up

I was hanging out with some friends who I met raving. We were in the forest chilling out.

Suddenly, I feel a crushing pain.

It feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest. It hurts like hell and it feels like I am being suffocated!

I wasn't sure what the hell was going on in the dream. Scenes were shifting rapidly around me and I thought that something was attacking me, but I couldn't see it.

I just felt as if I was suffocating because something was squeezing me so tightly.

I thought that perhaps whatever it was, was behind me, so I decided to do a backwards elbow strike to knock it down so that I could escape.

WORST TIME TO WAKE UP.

I woke up right before I was about to punch it - RIGHT BEFORE I was about to put all my power into this punch - and wound up punching Dread who was laying beside me.

He gave me a puzzled look, and rolled over.

I really really want to sleep in my own bed tonight. I miss the fluffy covers.

Never Trust the Baked Goods (Or the orange juice)

I was in the dorm, but I had gone up a floor to see what all of the rush was about. In the hallway they were giving out free baked goods.

Oh my darwin how I love chocolate cake.

And oh my buddha how you should never trust baked goods if you are in Zukin's dream! Eating any kind of baked goods, or even anything with sugar, in my dreams will make me terribly ill. It's not like that in reality, but for some strange reason, when I eat in my dreams I get very very nauseous. My dream food must be poisoned!

I took a plate of chocolate ice cream and saw people that I knew from highschool. In particular I saw a guy who was in my math class. He kissed me on the forehead, in a friendly way, and pranced off with his friends.

Of course, I ate the chocolate cake and became very ill.

When I woke up I was still pretty nauseous from the dream, so I reached around to find a drink. The closest thing to me was a cup of orange juice that was several hours old.

GROSSEST ORANGE JUICE EVER.

It had acidified...or something...and it tasted like vomit. I had to run from the room and find a drinking fountain immediately.

That story wasn't really relevent, but whatever.

Snow Snow Go Away

I was at home and I opened the front door...to find that it was blizzarding.

I had thought we were done with this weather! The snow blew through the door and I tried to shut it real quick but the wind was really strong.

In a different part of the dream, my room mate was packing up to go back to her house for the weekend. There was a strange buzzing noise, it sounded like some weird electro was being played next door.

She told me it was just her car keys. They liked to buzz like that sometimes.

I woke up to find that it was actually my phone alarm going off. It was vibrating.

No dreams were remembered these past two days.

Noessssssssssssss

I've been cramming for the past two days, so I have a bunch of dreams I need to post I just haven't gotten around to it. It looks like a chemist had brain diarrhea in my room. D:

Thanks...It only went about 100 times worse than expected.

April 1st

I Haven't Learned Anything!

I was in Germany for my study abroad. It was the very last day I had there.

And then I realized, I hadn't even heard any German while I was here!

I found this really strange so I started looking around the house. I picked up a can of peas and looked at the label. Half of it was in German and the other half was in English.

I also realized that I hadn't taken ANY pictures while I was here...

...So I decided to take a picture of the German peas.

Datreflection

I was sitting in front of an old CRT computer. It was barely on. It was very very dim.

In the reflection I could see something moving behind me. But when I looked nothing was there...

A Squirrel Walking a Bunny

I was walking down the road when I saw a squirrel walking a bunny. The bunny was attached to a leash.

If that doesn't make me do a reality check...I don't know what will.

Lord Voldemort

I was driving my car around on the freeway when it started to break down. Shoot.

I drove it pack and parked it near the garage. On my way in, I accidentally closed the hood to my mom's car. I didn't think it was a big deal since it's usually open.

I went upstairs and then started hearing shouting. My dad was shouting fiercely at my mom for closing the hood of the car.

Shit.

The yelling was so intense.

My dad came up the stairs but instead he looked like Lord Voldemort. In the dream I had brothers and he started threatening me by holding a knife up to their necks.

Passive Teacher Returns

I was taking my exam when I realized...I don't even know what I'm doing!

Almost the entire thing was math based and I hadn't remembered learning any math.

The teacher, who I had known as my German teacher in highschool, told us that we could take the examination home for the night to complete and it would be due at 9pm.

I decided I needed to partner up with someone who knew math really well.

The dorms were really futuristic looking, but I couldn't figure out the elevators.

I don't know whats been up with me lately. Yesterday I was just really tired and unmotivated, but I attributed that to not getting much sleep.

I got a good nine hours last night and woke up more tired than yesterday. I feel like every bone in my body is asleep. I went to take a twenty minute nap and dreamed so vividly it was as if I was on polyphasic again. I'm pretty sure that's an indicator of severe sleep deprivation...

I couldn't even open my eyes to try and get up so I just blindly kept hitting snooze on my alarm. And kept having extremely vivid dreams. But I was so tired that even in my dreams I was falling asleep.

In my napping dreams I was so tired that I couldn't even open my eyes, there just wasn't any strength there anymore.

For the dream that I remembered last night, during my main nine hour stretch, I really don't have enough energy to write the energy thing out, so I'll sum it up. I was with Dread and some of his friends walking through the field. The stars were pretty.

Well, hope you recover from that deprivation soon. I've just adopted a polyphasic sleeping regime....and lol, almost failed already. But so far, no dreams during naps, and just massive black circles under my eyes. o.0

Respect! Keep going!

I feel like my body is now suddenly wanting to convert back to polyphasic. It's not happy with just going to bed anymore. It is demanding a nap or two in the afternoon. And these naps are so intense they are almost like polyphasic naps. Full dreams are had in just twenty minutes.

I don't remember any significant dreams from my normal sleeping period, but from my short nap I took this afternoon, I dreamed that I was in a small room with a few people that I know. There were two large cafeteria tables in the room, and a hardcore version of this song was playing:

Martin Solveig & Dragonette - Hello (Official Music Video) [HD] - YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePxbyIHLqBk

The room was blue and wasn't really lit well. We were all joking around about why the hell we were even in this room, since there wasn't a door out or anything.

Lmao, all I get when listening to that music is an image of a pink rabbit bopping hard under a mult-icolour barrage of lights - crazy stuff.

Oh, that's interesting about it wanting to convert back - what sort of routine were you on? The one I'm on has no cores whatsoever, it focuses on naps only. I hope I adapt instead of turning into a heavily sleep deprived zombie. >_>

I was on Uberman, no cores as well.

My journal of it starts here (p18), if you are interested in reading it:

http://www.dreamviews.com/f26/queen-...9/index18.html

Beware though, I lose my mind plenty of times during that month from hell.

Sometimes I think about converting back to polyphasic, but then I read my journal from that time, and realize that's a terrible idea.

But hey, if my body wants to do it, then I'm all for it.

But your naps were at specific times, yeah? I guess that's only where SPAMAYL differs then - just nap when you wish, just not back to back (minimum 30 minute gap).

Yes, that's awesome, thanks. I'll check it out....lol, aside from your madness, did your energy level feel fine?

I wish.

I never completely made it past adaption. I got really close a few times, though. I think if I tried it again, I could do it. But I just don't have the need that is required to do it.

How many days in are you?

I hear making it past adaptation is incredibly difficult too....and it takes time before that happens. O_O hehe, perhaps I am approaching this all wrong then as I don't have the need. I mean, I'm doing it purely to have more REM slots available to dream/increase chance of lucid dreams. More time just = more procrastination hehe.

I'm only two days in now. How long you last?
