Queen Zukin's Dream Journal

Bed time: 10pm; Awakening: ~6:30am

Just a Regular Day

It was 7am and I was driving to work. Apparently my commute was about an hour though, because I did a lot more driving than I should have.

I remembered that I had to stop at a grocery store before I came in today, so I quickly ran in there. I saw my friend there and she told me that she was working there now.

The grocery store had a conveyor belt that wrapped around the entire store. The purpose was so that costumers would put their items on the belt and it would eventually take it to the front of the store, eliminating shopping carts.

We were messing around with the conveyor belts and riding them around the store. Until the manager told us to stop. :P

She had to start working, so I bought some strawberries and went back out to the parking lot. Ganryu had a lawn chair and was sitting out in the middle of the lot with some of his friends.

What a small world! I talked to him for a few before he commented on my old car and asked if he could take it for a spin around the parking lot. I agreed.

I continued to drive off to work when I looked at the clock and noticed that it was 12:50pm. SHIT. How did this happen!?!! I was supposed to start work at 8am!

I felt completely disoriented and couldn't believe how much time had passed. I got out of the car for some reason and saw Ganryu drive up behind me.

"I left my wallet in your car," he called out. I gave him his wallet, and woke up.

I looked at the clock and it was only 5:30am. Completely relieved, but that felt like the longest dream ever. I don't think I fell back asleep after that though.

Bed time: 10pm; Awakening: 6:30am

What the Bunny?

I was watching a scary movie.

The man in the movie was standing in a hotel room. The hotel room had an absolutely beautiful view over the city. Two of its four walls were completely glass.

The man looked around the room.

He was running from something that was inevitably going to catch up to him. He couldn't stop it. It was beyond him.

Shadows danced across the wall.

Shadows of bunnies.

But like, Donnie Darko styled bunnies. Not just your average cute eyed pet bunny, but a 7 foot tall pink easter bunny rabbit on crack.

And the spirit of this easter bunny on crack was out to kill him.

He looked around the room and glanced at the clock.

The shadow of the clock morphed into the image of the bunny's shadow.

The sound of the Grudge began to play.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XwWIepDRp4

I have a good feeling I am going to regret sharing this, but the Grudge and her sound is one of the things that freaks me out the most. Honestly, after posting this video I am not even going to want to come back to this page because I will have to see that face. And I know its going to creep back into my dreams.

ANYWAYS

When the noise of the grudge started to play in the movie, I got a little freaked out and looked away. But it was already too late.

The lamp that was sitting next to me became alive, and quickly extended its long arms around my neck, that horrible horrible sound growing ever louder.

I managed to free myself and ran upstairs as fast as I could.

WHAT THE FUCK?! Was all I could think.

I was completely hysterical that all the laws of physics had just broken in the basement.

But there had to be a rational explanation? Right?

I kept trying to calm myself down. Something had to have caused that. I tried to dissuade myself from jumping to conclusions that the paranormal was involved, but witnessing what had just happened I couldn't help myself from wanting to leave this house IMMEDIATELY.

Amazing Skates

I was rollerblading down the highway with some people. We were the only ones there. It was overcast and windy, but for some reason it felt amazing. It's hard to describe.

We went to a water park as well. I remember there was a massive spiral slide there.

Not a Clue

I was with a friend of mine. We were in a really strange town where all of the houses were really close to each other and there wasn't any real roads. He was high off his rocker but I was sitting it out. He was looking for a party.

We found ourselves in an old room of mine. I was telling him of the short nightmare that I had had last night, completely oblivious to the fact that I was still dreaming.

Only for a brief second did it strike me as odd that as I was telling the story, a pair of bunny ears emerged from my closet. :P

10pm - 7am

Amnesia

This isn't a dream, but I thought it deserved its own heading.

I woke up at around 1am and all of the lights in my room were on. I was sitting up and whispering to myself without even knowing it.

I couldn't remember at all how these lights got on, and I still couldn't fully remember where I was. I kept thinking that I was at work and being trained. A small part of me told myself to relax and that I was at home trying to rest, but the other 90% of my brain still believed that I was at work. This went on for about fifteen minutes until I fell asleep again.

Sleepwalking maybe? I don't even know. :?

Loose Mamba

A random zookeeper told us that we needed to keep a mamba in our house for him while he was gone. I don't know what he was on, because obviously this could only turn out to be a horrible idea.

http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...ukin/mamba.jpg

Of course, the mamba got loose. Everyone was freaking out since we had a highly venomous snake slithering around the house...And we lost track of where it was.

:paranoid:

I had no idea about who to call for this, so I called our local nature center.

As they were coming, I noticed the mamba slither our the back door and into the woods. Shit. Who knows how much ecological damage that could cause.

The snake catcher finally came and I told him that it went out the backdoor, so he went to go catch it.

It was actually a really stressful dream, since there was so much stress about where in the house this venomous snake was.

Flatscreen Prank

Someone was playing "pranks" on people. They would order very large (as in, 10 foot wide) televisions and put them on people's doorsteps. The televisions were unpaid for though, and since they were so large they costed upwards thousands of dollars.

There really must be a hill there

I was in a store and I couldn't find my clothes! I was looking all over for them, but they were gone. It was kind of embarrassing and I'm pretty sure I flashed a few people.

Later in the dream I was walking up a university street. The street was very steep. This is kind of interesting because it all of my dreams in which I am walking down that street, the street always has a noticeably steep incline to it. But in real life, it's really flat.

When I got to the top of the street I saw an old man sitting on the sidewalk. He was selling OTC drugs. I bought some dramamine from him, but he started warning me about everything it interacted with, which I wasn't aware of.

Midnight-10am

Time to Play Catch Up?

I was back in highschool again.

I rode the bus to school, but then got off the wrong bus and left my bookbag on the bus. Fantastic.

When I got inside the building, I realized that I actually had no idea where I should even be. It was the middle of the year, but I wasn't sure what classes I was in or where my locker was.

I talked to the guidance counselors about my situation and they gave me very confused and concerned looks. They issued me my schedule.

I was taking such weird classes! One of them was titled "trees."

I tried to plan out how I was going to finish the year without having ever remembered taking the classes.

Midnight - 10am

Last of my Kind

I was with my parents and a few of my friends. We were on the edge of a fast flowing river next to the bottom of a lush cliff.

On one side of the river was a small restaurant with a wooden porch. We wanted to get over to this restaurant, but we would have to cross the river to get there. And to cross the river we would have to jump across via stepping stones.

We ate at the restaurant and then everyone else but me had successfully crossed back to the other side of the river.

I was about to start jumping onto the stones when I noticed a grizzly bear approaching the porch.

I was afraid at first, especially when it made eye contact. The bear approached me, and then began to talk to me in English. :shock:

It told me that it was actually half human half bear. And that it was the last of its kind.

I saw past the bear qualities and into its human qualities.

Underground Laboratory

This may be a part of the previous dream.

I was later in an underground laboratory. It was under a waterfall.

The technicians asked me if I could be their guinea pig for an experiment, but I refused. They got really angry and told me that they would get the authorization, no matter what, to conduct tests on me. Whatever.

So I left to go eat lunch. :P

At lunch I sat with a really quiet girl, I don't remember much from this part of the dream except for that there was a little bit of drama going on at a different table.

Later in the dream I was with Dread and we had broken up for some silly reason and then we decided to get back together again.

Slightly Creeped Out

I was trying on clothes, trying to see which ones I needed to donate.

I felt slightly creeped out by something. I noticed that some of the doors around the basement were open, so I locked them...

:paranoid:

Heroin and Knife Fighting Ninjas

I was a gypsy dancer.

http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...ypsydancer.jpg

I was stolen away to work in the sex industry against my will. When I was with my clients, all I could think about was Dread (boyfriend) and how shameful I felt for this.

Since I wasn't able to do my job correctly due to shame and guilt, they took me away to a crowded hotel room. There were about 6 or 7 people in the room.

They laid me down on the bed and tried to inject me with heroin, but I fought against it and refused to remain still. This made them really mad, and they begun to lash out.

A huge fight broke out in the room against me and the other "business owners."

They were throwing glass knives around skillfully - aiming to kill.

I tried to get out of the way. I didn't have any weapons on me. Bodies were dropping like flies.

A stout woman burst into the room with her own set of knives. There were only a few remaining, and they seemed to be the most skilled and dangerous of all of them.

"GET OUT! LEAVE!" She yelled to me as my defense.

I ran out of the room and left bloody footprints as I ran.

I ran out of the hotel and noticed that it was a giant skyscraper hotel. Like the one I had dreamed of a few nights ago.

I took this opportunity to call the police.

Before they arrived the stout woman walked out of the door and told me that she had killed the rest of the sex trade owners.

Spoiler for sync:

In Dread's dream, he was at war when he saw me. He asked me how my dreams were going and he said I looked very shameful and guilty. When he questioned me about it, I told him that I had to have sex with someone in the previous dream. He offered to help me stop the dreams, but I refused.

Nasty Weather Driving

It was snowing outside and the roads were icy and covered in snow, sometimes six inches deep. I could barely control the car, but it seemed like something other than nasty weather conditions was causing it.

Sometimes the car would go so slow I would almost have to push it along.

I saw my mother at the park fishing, and then I decided to stop to get ice cream.

Spoiler for sync:

Dread had dreams of not being able to properly drive a car as well.

Making Macaroni

Yum.

11pm-8:30am
+SA (4/10)

Crystal Key

This dream was in cartoon form and in third person.

There was an ancient city in the desert. The scene showed a lot of workers building the pyramids - or some kind of large building made out of sand.

One of the workers was standing on top of the structure using some kind of pulley device, but the rope began to split and the block that he was pulling upwards fell back down the shaft.

A man on the bottom looked alarm and began to run. I noticed that his fingernails were painted.

The dream zoomed to the inside of building to reveal a floating crystal that was about 2 feet long and illuminated the small space around it.

The dream showed that these ancient peoples had figured out that the crystal possessed magical powers, and that towards wherever it was aimed it could unleash some of its power.

For example, the people had discovered that when it pointed a certain degree towards a wall it unlocked a portal to a magical realm. The city exploited this realm and used it to gain power and wealth.

Walking the Dog

It was maybe five in the morning and I was out for a stroll. I noticed a random school bus coming to pick some children up.

A woman, who seemed to be really fed up, asked me if I could walk her neighbor's dog for him. She had been walking the dog but didn't have any time anymore.

I didn't really have anything better to do, so I complied. I walked the dog then walked to where the man lived. He worked in the army and his house was a mess.

Apartments and Elevators

I lived in a really crowded apartment. Everyone seemed to be really obsessed about using the elevator. The elevator even had an elevator attendant. The attendant had to memorize a bunch of codes since the elevator didn't have the normal buttons to press.

I've got Dramamine

I was at a small fair and there was a swing ride.

http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/.../swingride.jpg

I rode it way too many times, because people actually began to ask me how I wasn't getting sick from riding it too many times.

I simply told them - "I've got dramamine." :shadewink:

And kept riding the ride. Despite it being so cold that I could see my breath.

Until a GIANT inflatable creature came roaring towards us. Someone who owned the park must not have tied it down correctly.

I looked at it for a few seconds though, and thought about how strange it looked coming towards us. And things weren't really relative either. There was a statue that was also moving around. I found this strange, but didn't question it much further.

Please Stay and Watch This

I was at an outdoor music festival and there were thousands of people there! Everyone was crowded around the DJ stage dancing and having a great time.

When nightfall came they moved it indoors. Much less people were there. As time moved on the crowd and atmosphere diminished until the DJ tried to persuade people to stay so that they could watch his new music video.

I think I was only one of a couple that managed to see it, and I found the music video rather sad.

Brownies and Cookies

Bree made brownies and cookies and wanted me to try them.

Unfortunately her brownies exploded, but we didn't want to waste them so we tried to put the brownie batter onto bread as substitute nutella. It didn't work very well.

We ate a few of the cookies outside on the porch.

Atheist Church

I went to a really cool church that was made for atheists and the like. It was actually pretty fun and I enjoyed it. For some reason I had a child and my mother was trying to persuade me to raise the child as a Christian but I refused.

Midnight-10am

Epic Kiss

Linkzelda - if you ever read this - I'm not creeping on you. This was a coincidence, I swear.

:paranoid:

Anyways

Linkzelda was at my house, and I don't remember much from this dream, but we were sitting on the couch having a deep conversation when things began to get a little intimate.

I kissed him and felt that awesome spark of energy flow through.

I'm going to leave it at that.

Science Fair!

I was at a science fair, and I wanted to win!

My project was about dinosaurs! I collected a bunch of dinosaur bones. I had maybe 60% of the skeleton of a small dinosaur that I wanted to put on display.

Since I didn't have all of it I drew in the other bones. I wanted to make my project look as appealing as possible.

The judge, who looked remarkably like Putin, came around and looked at my project. I wasn't sure if he liked it or not. :(

Get out of my bathroom!

I was trying to take a shower when I noticed that there were a bunch of people in my bathroom. WTF?

A DJ had came to set up his booth and more people were gathering. This was getting seriously annoying. I had to come out of the shower sooner or later, but now there was about ten or fifteen people crowded in the bathroom.

Just Share a Bed

I was back at Dread's dorm for the first time in awhile. Dread explained to me that he and his room mate decided that they could share costs by sharing a king size bed instead of sleeping on two different beds. :wtf:

So if I wanted to stay the night I'd have to sleep on the floor. :P

Codes and Rule Breakers

I was now a bagger in a grocery store and I had to learn a bunch of random codes for how to deal with customers that break the rules. It was pretty boring, as we were just spitting out codes like "M24A."

Smashing Bells

I was at my old elementary school. I felt dizzy like I was about to pass out. I decided that I needed to sit down.

I was in the middle of a parking lot so I tried to get to the sidewalk as fast as I could. But things started moving really fast and I felt like I was about to lose it quickly.

I woke up. But really wasn't aware that I was awake so I just laid there.

A bunch of vivid HI flew past me and I begun to hear what sounded like rhythmic bells being smashed against a wall. It was a very harsh noise. And my consciousness was shaking violently to this rhythm.

I've DEILD'd before and usually I lose about half of my thinking power in the process, but this was different because I was fully aware but completely content.

I kept seeing vivid flashes of dream imagery, like my room with all of the lights on and stuff.

I wondered if I could get up now, so I sat up.

But this feeling wasn't normal.

When I sat up, it actually felt as if my dream body sat up and left my physical body there. I could feel both bodies simutaneously. It felt out of this world. :shadewink:

I snapped back, still with no real dream vision and tried again but fully woke up.

Tripping on Death

I was at work taking care of something in the back.

When I come back in, I notice that there are black cars surrounding the building. Their windows are tinted and they look very suspicious.

I realize that as I was outside, everyone on the inside was murdered. I was still hearing gunshots and screaming though, so I needed to take cover.

I found a closet to hide in. A coworker was already taking cover in there.

I hid in a laundry basket and put clothes over me to conceal myself. I could still see out of it through the tiny holes in the basket.

I heard footsteps approaching the closet as they searched every last corner of the store.

They opened the closet door. The men that were after us were wearing black suits and sun glasses. They were the mafia.

The killed my coworker and took her body out of the closet. It was her they were after.

They looked around the room for anyone else and I thought that for sure this was it.

Any moment now he would see me in the hamper. I covered my mouth so they couldn't hear the sound of me breathing. I tried not to tremble.

Any moment now death awaited.

And then they left.

I wasn't going to leave my safe spot so easily. I decided to wait a solid hour before leaving.

I waited and then crawled out when I believed it to be safe.

The store was deserted. Bodies littered the floor. I was the only one alive here.

The following week I was transferred to work in a new grocery store. I couldn't get what had just happened out of my mind.

I called an anonymous hotline to request for help and they told me that I would be put under government protection.

The mafia had discovered that I was a witness to their crime and they were now out to eliminate me as well.

I was scheduled to fly to Denmark for further protection.

At the last minute, the flight attendant switched my plane, whispering to me that the original flight had been hijacked.

I got on the new plane. It began to take off but lost control on the runway.

Everyone was ordered to evacuate the plane, but little did we know that the mafia had encircled us in gasoline.

Somehow knowing my circumstances, a woman pushed me out of the way seconds before they lit the gasoline on fire. I have some seriously heroic dream characters.

I was forced to hide in the bushes as I watched everyone burn to death.

I watched as their bodies caught fire and they panicked. I could feel their death rising up like fumes.

This is mildly hard to describe, but here it gets very trippy. I started seeing the many faces of death, and it was like an extremely spooky stop motion claymation. When I was watching it I just wanted it all to stop, because it was so strange and beyond me.

I've decided I'm going to learn how to WILD (again).

Graduation Event

I was just trying to pick up some things for next semester when I found myself at a mandatory graduation event. It was some kind of reunion/graduation of this year's highschool students.

The audience was completely out of control though and no one wanted to be there so it was total chaos. People were jumping on the bleachers causing a ruckus.

There was one part of the dream that had to do with toast and love.

11pm - 6:30am
+ insomnia
+ WILD attempt

Heart Attack

I was in my bedroom when my mom came in and told me that my grandmother just passed away from a heart attack. :(

So Young but So Old

It was my 47th birthday and I couldn't believe all this time had passed already. I looked in the mirror but I still looked no older than 19.

Motives

I was at work when I noticed a boy, no older than sixteen with jet black hair, stealing food from the store. I let my manager know and we were told to follow him to where he was going and lead him up to the roof.

We did so and he began crying and confessed that he was stealing groceries because his mother was ill and they couldn't afford food anymore. We felt bad so we let him have his stuff and let him go.

Midnight - 10 am
+ WILD attempt (6:30am)
+ SA (0/10)

I keep falling asleep during both my WILD and SA attempts. Derp. :(

There won't be any attempts tonight - I'm going camping.

Ladders and DNA Testing

I actually don't really remember this dream very well, so I'm just going to write out what I have down in my dream journal.

"Fell from the top of a 20ft+ ladder. Pumpkings/onions huge. Show what it is like to walk without walking. Half DNA testing, COS w/ meditation?"

I have no recollection of "dna testing" whatsoever. :P

2am - 10am
+ 900mg St John's Wort
+ camping

Just a note - Before this page, I haven't tried any of the supplements listed above. I've sort of made it a summer goal to try nearly all of the possible dreaming supplements, which is why I have tried so many of these past couple weeks. Most of which I haven't
particularly liked. :P

Sorority Interview

For some reason unbeknownst to me, I had it in my head that I wanted to join a sorority.

The sorority was actually quite prestigious and didn't fit the normal sorority stereotype.

I walked down a crooked alley and into their dorms for my first interview. The interview was short and afterwards I was left alone to roam their dorms.

Their sorority dorms were actually huge and lockers lined the walls. I got lost quickly and couldn't find my way into any of the correct wings. A lot of new students were moving in.

Everything is going wrong

I was at work trying to sign into my cash register. I kept typoing though and the system got mad at me and said "user suspended." I could no longer use the registers now. Shit.

I told the manager but they said that there wasn't anything that they could do about it today, and they'd have to find me a new job.

All of my breaks were screwed up as well and I accidentally took an hour break when I should have only taken a fifteen minute break.

Later, I was talking to some of the other employees and they were teasing me about something. I saw a guy I knew from highschool and he asked if I would like to come back to his place but I declined.

Sand in England

I was lucid. I don't remember how this happened.

I didn't know quite what to do and I didn't feel like scouting anyone out, so I decided to 'snap' to the dreamer closest to me.

I found myself standing in the middle of someone's lawn. It was the middle of the night. I was somewhere in England.

I looked around the lawn and was surprised to find patches of snow on the ground. I wasn't aware that it was snowing in May in England.

I picked up the snow and then was completely alarmed to find that it was warm!

This wasn't snow...this was sand.

I wondered who I had snapped to. I felt around the house before making my entrance.

"Who is that?! Who are you?! What do you want?!" I heard a voice yell from the inside. He was staring at me through the window, frightened by my presence.

I could instantly tell who that was. I have never heard his voice, but I just knew. It was a DV user that I hadn't talked to in possibly years.

I wondered why I had snapped to him.

"Come on out!" I pleaded. I wondered how strange and creepy I sounded.

"How about not?"

I could always just enter his house...But I think that might quickly turn this dream into a nightmare for him.

I finally pleaded for him to come out and he did. I introduced myself. He looked suspicious, but remembered me.

"How are you doing?" I asked.

"Fine...what do you want? Why are you here?"

"I was just kind of bored. I didn't know who to visit, so I came to whoever was closest," I replied happily.

"What do you mean?"

"Ah. This is a dream. Do a reality check," I told him.

At first he was suspicious, but then he did a reality check and a hint of amazement crossed his face.

While he examined his world, I examined him. I could feel his energy. Not something that you can feel from dream characters.

He looked skeptical of my existence.

"If this is a dream, then you are a part of it," he hinted.

"No," I replied.

"Yes," he urged.

I looked up to the night sky, thinking of a way to prove to him of my existence. Dammit.

The sky was beautifully purple and black and bursting with stars. I thought about flying him up there with me right now, but that really wouldn't prove anything, would it?

I didn't feel like trying to explain methods of verification to him right now, so I took him by the hand and flew him up to the sky for a brief moment. Except for the occasional heroic dream character, most of mine aren't spontaneously human. I thought that this might leave a lasting mark on his memory.

My recall hits the fan here, but I know that there was a lot of action. After I had proven to him that this was a dream and I wasn't a normal dream character, we did something with a LOT of action. This I am sure of because I remember thinking "damn, this lucid has gotten long" but couldn't be arsed to keep thinking about it because I was heavily distracted by something that needed my immediate attention.

After we finished fighting or whatnot, he sincerely thanked me for coming over and then we split our separate ways.

I still kept wondering why his lawn was covered in patches of sand, though. :P

Midnight - 10am
+ 1200 mg St John's Wort
+ SA (3/10 out)
+ WILD attempt @ 6am

Everytime I try to WILD I wind up falling asleep. Complete oppisite problem of what I had last year.

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r.../kiddingme.jpg

On top of that all I remember from last night are fragments.

Moment of Thought

I was with Bree and her friends. We were parked in the parking lot at the mall. It was night time. We were watching Bree walk from the car into the mall when she suddenly stopped.

We weren't sure what she was doing and if it was a moment of thought, clarity, forgetfulness, or what.

Plants on the Porch

I was sleeping on the porch of my friend's house. I had brought a random plant with me, which seemed to flourish outside on his porch.

New Friend

I was playing an online game and my character was totally decked out and ready for battle. I dueled another player but completely lost. We started talking though and became friends.

Attack of the Bed Bugs

My sister returned home and brought bed bugs with her. I had never seen them before and was surprised at how huge they were. In my dream, they actually looked like clear little dragonflies.

Midnight - 10am
+ WILD attempt (failed, too awake)

Consequences of Broken Promises

Somehow, I had gotten myself involved with the wrong people.

The guy I was with was involved in a high stakes drug deal with a drug lord. He had convinced the drug lord to give him more responsibilities, but if he failed there would be heavy consequences.

We were driven around awhile in a car and I remember there was a lot of drive by shootings. He didn't feel comfortable doing these kinds of things, but it was a part of the promise he had made to the drug lord.

At the end of the dream, when the drug lord discovered that he had failed to keep his end of the promise, the drug lord cut off the man's hands as the consequence of breaking his promise.

Challenge of the Demon

Bree and a couple of her friends were sleeping over at my place. I was on the verge of falling asleep and drifting away into a new dream when I realized that our dreams were being projected over our heads. How curious.

I slowly watched as our dreams began to take life and grow more complex. Both Bree's friend and I were dreaming of building something in an abandoned city. At first there were not many similarities.

But then, I began to feel myself being pulled away from the scene and I began to float across it.

http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...ptioncity2.jpg

The city looked like something from Inception. The buildings were tall, frequent, and abandoned.

I looked back at his dream and saw that ours were beginning to match. We were flying through different parts of the city, but I recognized the different angle of the buildings.

We acknowledged this strange occurrence and continued on.

Whatever had been pulling us pulled us straight into a cave.

Before us, stood a black and red demon sitting on a large throne.

http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...emontrohne.jpg

His skin looked black from being burnt and it was outlined with red design. He spoke in deep, dark tones.

"Travelers. I present to you a challenge. Both of you must work together to build and complete a tower before the dream ends. This - is a dream. But - if you cannot complete the challenge, there shall be consequences."

I thought to myself, such as...

"Such as this shall be your LAST shared dream!"

Now, I had considered this to perhaps be a shared dream before, but now I didn't even care. As soon as he completed his last sentence, all I could think was challenge accepted.

http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...geaccepted.jpg

I flew my partner and I back to the abandoned city where we had begun.

I thought quickly about how much time I had left in this dream and how long it would take to build this tower.

I tried to stop thinking about how this was a dream.

Alright. Focus.

I summoned some legos and built out a mini tower with telekinesis. Fuck you, demon! I just built a tower! You should have been more specific.

:chuckle:

I decided to get going with this tower building anyways.

My partner and I quickly exchanged ideas, and I summoned a circular wall to the ground. It looked like the base of a lighthouse.

We decided that to do this quickly and efficiency we should use a spiral staircase but also include elevators. We put elevators on each side of the tower.

My partner expressed worry that the demon would crush us once we were inside the tower and so he requested an emergency escape and built it as so.

"You are building the staircase wrong! It should go upwards not downwards!" He shouted.

Ah, shit. He was right. In a careless moment I had made the spiral staircase lead into the basement. I fixed that quickly and continued to built more layers upwards.

I'm not sure if we finished the tower in time. I remember building the ceiling, but I also remember clinging onto the dream as my REM cycle was ending.

Good Buddha, I hope we finished that tower. :P

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been going through some whacked up shit. Hopefully it will all be good by tomorrow though. :)

Switched Up Mess

Dread and I were working at the same grocery store. This grocery store had everything rearranged, so it was a huge disaster.

Consequences of Broken Promises

Somehow, I had gotten myself involved with the wrong people.

The guy I was with was involved in a high stakes drug deal with a drug lord. He had convinced the drug lord to give him more responsibilities, but if he failed there would be heavy consequences.

We were driven around awhile in a car and I remember there was a lot of drive by shootings. He didn't feel comfortable doing these kinds of things, but it was a part of the promise he had made to the drug lord.

At the end of the dream, when the drug lord discovered that he had failed to keep his end of the promise, the drug lord cut off the man's hands as the consequence of breaking his promise.

Challenge of the Demon

Bree and a couple of her friends were sleeping over at my place. I was on the verge of falling asleep and drifting away into a new dream when I realized that our dreams were being projected over our heads. How curious.

I slowly watched as our dreams began to take life and grow more complex. Both Bree's friend and I were dreaming of building something in an abandoned city. At first there were not many similarities.

But then, I began to feel myself being pulled away from the scene and I began to float across it.

The city looked like something from Inception. The buildings were tall, frequent, and abandoned.

I looked back at his dream and saw that ours were beginning to match. We were flying through different parts of the city, but I recognized the different angle of the buildings.

We acknowledged this strange occurrence and continued on.

Whatever had been pulling us pulled us straight into a cave.

Before us, stood a black and red demon sitting on a large throne.

His skin looked black from being burnt and it was outlined with red design. He spoke in deep, dark tones.

"Travelers. I present to you a challenge. Both of you must work together to build and complete a tower before the dream ends. This - is a dream. But - if you cannot complete the challenge, there shall be consequences."

I thought to myself, such as...

"Such as this shall be your LAST shared dream!"

Now, I had considered this to perhaps be a shared dream before, but now I didn't even care. As soon as he completed his last sentence, all I could think was challenge accepted.

I flew my partner and I back to the abandoned city where we had begun.

I thought quickly about how much time I had left in this dream and how long it would take to build this tower.

I tried to stop thinking about how this was a dream.

Alright. Focus.

I summoned some legos and built out a mini tower with telekinesis. Fuck you, demon! I just built a tower! You should have been more specific.

:chuckle:

I decided to get going with this tower building anyways.

My partner and I quickly exchanged ideas, and I summoned a circular wall to the ground. It looked like the base of a lighthouse.

We decided that to do this quickly and efficiency we should use a spiral staircase but also include elevators. We put elevators on each side of the tower.

My partner expressed worry that the demon would crush us once we were inside the tower and so he requested an emergency escape and built it as so.

"You are building the staircase wrong! It should go upwards not downwards!" He shouted.

Ah, shit. He was right. In a careless moment I had made the spiral staircase lead into the basement. I fixed that quickly and continued to built more layers upwards.

I'm not sure if we finished the tower in time. I remember building the ceiling, but I also remember clinging onto the dream as my REM cycle was ending.

Good Buddha, I hope we finished that tower. :P

I liked that dream. Pretty cool.

Thanks. :)

Bursting with Worms

I was at work and was helping a customer when I noticed that a few people in the store were acting strange.

They seemed numbed out of existence and were walking strangely.

Suddenly, their skin ripped open to reveal that a large parasitic worm had taken over their bodies.

The store was actually completely flooded with these people, and we (the uninfected) were trying to find a safe place to go so we didn't get infected too.

The parasite worms were taking control of their brains. They would get a blank stare for a few hours before their skin bursted open.

I'm sorry, I'm going to have to drop this goal. I've discovered that a lot of these supplements, such as 5htp and St Johns Wort, are messing up my brain chemistry...

Which kind of caused me to hit a brick wall.

I'm trying my best to get back on my feet. I had some cool dreams last night, but didn't have any motivation to write them down.

Maybe tomorrow? :/

Friday, June 8th 2012

I dreamed I was working on a big project for college. I wanted to get it all finished before I lost my momentum and motivation. I was going so fast and so well and had ideas flowing out of me, but I knew it wasn't going to last forever so I kept going and going determined to finish it.

1am-10am

Not Surprised

I was with my friend and I was semi lucid. I forget how...

We were smoking and I was interested to see how it would feel to be high and lucid. We were smoking in broad daylight when she points out the cops.

Of course I'd dream this...

She takes off running so of course I follow her. We keep running from the cops and we wind up behind some shed on the beach. The sun is setting and the wind is rushing through the nearby wheat field.

The sand is on fire.

We keep running into the ocean and the water is boiling and the seaweed is getting caught in our legs pulling us down as the world is consumed in fire...

She's Missing

I was watching over one of the neighborhood children. We were at the store and I was following her around. I turn my back once on her and when I look back she is missing. Her parents tell me that she was abducted while I wasn't looking and she'd probably dead...

2am-11:30am

Suicide

A friend of mine committed suicide. This was very unfortunate, but also because he was going to get married very soon and his fiance must be having a hard time coping with the loss.

Snakes in the Library

I was in a really old library that had many stories. I was on the 5th floor or so when I found a woman reading a book at a desk. She asked me if I could watch her snake for her while she left.

It was a black snake, very pretty. It wasn't venomous, but it was vicious.

Pregnant

I was pregnant. Shit.

I remember Dread had called me up as well, but it wasn't him, it was his friend. I called his friend a name and he got really pissed off and started yelling at me. He ran over to my house and was trying to provoke a fight. I could outrun him, though. :P

10pm-6:30am; Noon-1pm

I don't remember any dreams from the main portion of my sleep last night, but I remember a LOT from my nap.

Falling through the dreamscape

I was dreaming a lot of random things. It wasn't just HH, it was an actual dreamscape. I suddenly felt myself falling and scenes rushed past me, and I awoke as if I had just awoken from a hypnic jerk.

Criticism

I just remember I was standing in the garage and my dad was criticizing me about something.

Diner

I was really frustrated at work. It was near the end of my shift and I was on break so I went to a diner that was next to it. Charmy (new character :D) was there and so I sat down next to him. He asked me what was going on and I explained it to him and he hugged me. :)

1:30am - 11:30am

I feel like I'm starting to overcome that awful brick wall, so I'm going to start again with my WILD and shared dreaming attempts, both of which were going really well. Unfortunately, I lost my shared dreaming partner (Dread) when we broke up, so now I am shared dreaming partnerless. :(

Karate and Cooking

I was at a summer camp that specialized in karate and cooking. Izam (another new character! :D) was there. He was being his cute and annoying self.

Something happened...Something awful.

From what I remember, I'm pretty sure the ground literally opened up and everyone was trying to escape. Izam had a rope and was trying to pull up some other members onto higher ground when I noticed that his rope was splitting!

I grabbed the rope before the split and pulled the safe part back onto the pulley. He thanked me for saving his life before he fell into the hot magma himself.

Later after we had cooked dinner, there was a mudslide!!!

We tried to round everyone up and get them to the top of the building. Some of the younger members noticed that the mud from the mudslide tasted like chocolate. We couldn't pull these kids away from the mud and so they got buried alive. :(

Psychedelic Freak

I was with a friend of mine. We were planning on going raving or doing whatever was available. He was taking Molly and asked me if I would like any but I told him that I would have to think about it.

About half an hour later I decided to. We were in a parking lot when his friend drives up on a motorcycle. The motorcycle has a large compartment for people to ride in. It looks like a hay ride, but on a motorcycle. :wtf:

They rode off and left me with his friend, who was a girl who was already rolling pretty hard. I hadn't even taken anything yet, but apparently the dream forgot because then both of us were rolling balls together. It was a really psychedelic roll though and she was freaking out and running around the parking lot. I was trying to calm her down but I was getting caught up in the psychedelia as well and I couldn't stop staring at the moon and the concrete parking lot as they shifted into a new meaning.
