Sweet Dreams Are Made of This

Had some crazy dreams, felt cool at the moment but was also kind of scary feeling at the same time. It also felt incredibly real. 

***
Dream One
I was inside some kind of video game or something, where I would spawn inside of an egg and have to push my way out. Once I popped out, I was fighting some monster or something, who was way too strong for me, but I kept attack him without thinking and kept respawning back in the egg. Each time I died though, I would have to wait for a timer to reset before I could break out of the egg. The last time I was in the egg, I started to realize how closed in I felt and I really wanted to break out of it. I didn't want to stay inside of that egg an longer but the timer to respawn felt like it was taking forever and I was started to get claustrophobic and panicking. I saw an "abort game" button and I pushed it, and it let me crawl out of the egg back into reality. Out in reality were some of my friends (even though they were just dream friends, not people I have ever met before) on they congratulated me on getting some treasure, which they showed me. I think they split it up between us and I went on my way. The next part is very fuzzy, but I ended up at a party or something. My dad was there and pretty drunk and was hanging out with his girlfriend. I went upstairs and there was an orgy or something going on (I don't really remember this part of the dream but I'm going off the notes I wrote down after waking up) I was trying to protect my girlfriend from creepy guys who were trying to get to her and someone touched her and she disappeared. People start to leave the party and I start saying goodbye to people I know like I usually do when I leave a party and I went to hug this creepy little kid goodbye, but he wouldn't say goodbye to me because he seemed afraid of me. I remember this kid being very scary looking. He was small and was missing both of his eyes, but had bandages over them. It was like he was actually dead. Everything started to rewind and I find myself at the beginning of the party, much earlier than when I had originally arrived. I saw my girlfriend at the top of some stairs and I realized I had to find her. I think this time things will be different and she will come with me. But I also think she may think I'm creepy because she has only met me once before this (I guess in the dream, the party was the second time I ever talked to her) and she hasn't fallen in love with me yet. I realize we are at a brothel and she is a pure girl that everyone wants. There is also something else going on, and the dream shows me her sitting in a hidden room surrounded by mirrors about to be beat by the female owner of the brothel. I also see my girlfriend start to sing "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" except it sounds more like the version from Sucker Punch and the dream fades out while I hear her singing. 

Dream Two 
I remember that there had been an apocalypse and I woke up in a room that was completely white. The ground was white and the walls were white and there was nothing in the room except for a few people. There was also some weird fuzzy monster thing in the room who I asked to kill me because I didn't want to live in this world anymore. Even though they were never seen, there were also terrible monsters lurking outside of the house we were in. The fuzzy monster put his hands over my mouth and nose and tried to suffocate me, but I was unable to die from that. I guess I left the white room, because the next thing I remember, I was in my cousins house. They had all survived as well and we had candles lit, even though there was a backup generator ready to give us electricity in an emergency. Outside I saw a huge amusement park that looked absolutely beautiful, even in the destroyed world. The lights from the park were enough to illuminate the entire house but I knew it would be attracting the monsters out there as well. I decided I didn't care much, since I wanted to die anyway, and I wasn't afraid of anything. I walked into an office that my uncle was in and he had some lights on. I don't know what he was doing, it looked like paperwork, but I don't know why he would be doing that. The office looked really awesome though. After that, I was hating that I was in this world, but I started to think about dreams. I was wondering if I was in a dream and thought of a trick that someone once told me about clocks. He told me to look at a clock, check the time, look away, and then check it again. If the time has changed or is weird then you will know you are dreaming. I did this, and the time on the clock read normal at first, but then it read something like "7-8" which I knew was wrong and everything around me changed. I realized I was dreaming, but I kind of "woke up" inside of the dream. I was able to control certain things but not the entire dream. At one point, I was on my computer and members of my family were trying to stop me from using it and insulting me, but I pointed my hand at them and said "freeze" and they were completely petrified, leaving me free to do whatever I wanted. Eventually, I woke up.

The Lucid Dreams are getting easier and easier to control, and the more I write and think about dreams each day, the more likely it is for me to realize when I am dreaming. I'd have to say my little experiment is a success, but of course I'm going to keep recording to see what happens. 

Here's the video of the song I heard in my dream, just thought it was very fitting.

The Little Things Give You Away

I had a dream a little while ago. It was one of those dreams you can't stop thinking about, even though it wasn't too crazy until the end. It was like one of those movies you see, where it's all you can think about for a while. It may not seem that way in the description, but it was so full of emotion. 

***
Something happened where I was back at high school. I don't know why, but I was getting on the bus for a few mornings in a row, even though I can drive. One of the mornings though, I missed the bus, and me and my brother drove to school together. I had a few classes, but ended up at a freshman assembly. The teacher for the class I was supposed to be at said this was an assembly for freshman who were late to class, but I was not a freshman. She was my health teacher from back then, so I headed up to my health classroom. I don't really remember what happened here though. I do remember seeing my girlfriend at some point during the day though. Eventually, the bus dropped me off and I saw my actual bus driver. She turned the bus around in a way she never did before and when I got off, I said "thank you" like I always did. I always thought bus drivers needed some appreciation. I was walking back to my house, but I can't remember what happened after that.

The next thing I remember, I was touring the college I was going to be attending. I met up with some people who were going to be my room mates, and I could hear someone explaining the way rooming worked, saying that there will be one television in each room, constantly playing Alice in Wonderland. Then it spat out some fact about how many times the movie had been played since it had first started doing this. My room mates seemed pretty cool, but they were really hard party types. I didn't mind it, and had some fun hanging out there. I don't know why, but we were staying at the college for a little while, and my mom and brother were in a room next to ours. It seemed like time had passed and I had known these guys for a while. My mom walked into my room and saw the other guys smoking weed. Before she came into the room, they blew some into my face and I started getting "high" but in reality all I felt was what it felt like to be buzzed off alcohol. She asked me questions about if I was smoking and I told her I wasn't. She went back into her room with my brother and as soon as she left me and the other guys started laughing uncontrollably. We were having a really great time.

After that, we were at some kind of assembly that the guys in my room were putting on. It was kind of like a show and these guys were really famous and they let me go on with them. I don't remember much about what they were actually saying, but I know it was absolutely hilarious, yet very dirty. My mom was in the crowd and wasn't very pleased. They were each telling stories about when they were drunk and stuff they had done, and one of them would leave and come back in a trench coat with a thong and make some funny jokes and I was laughing the whole time. Then my brother said something about me never drinking and the first time I drank was legally and I got drunk off one drink and they started making fun of me. I didn't want to correct them because I didn't want my mom in the audience to get mad at me, but I ended up doing it anyway. I don't know why I was so concerned with my mom, the only purpose in this dream she seemed to serve was being wherever I was, making me feel ashamed of things I was doing, which is the complete opposite of how she really is. During the show, the guys kept calling for this girl, Ashley, to come up on stage with them. Eventually, towards the end of the show, she was getting ready to come on stage, but right before that my girlfriend came up to me and said she had to leave a little early and I told her I would be right behind her. I said goodbye to my new friends as Ashley came on the stage and they started doing something dirty with her, but I don't really know what. I just know she was naked. I left to follow my girlfriend and my mom was pretty pissed about the show, but I didn't care much.

I was trying to find my girlfriend but since she went ahead, I couldn't catch up with her and she left without me. I found my mom and she had all my stuff with her already and we started walking down some stairs. She almost left her car keys in a door, but I grabbed them for her and when I saw another set of keys and asked if they were hers, some man passed by and said "No, your mom just want's all the keys in the world" which made no sense at all, so I looked at him weird and followed her down the stairs, with my brother trailing behind. We got into her car and began driving. I turned on the radio and heard the song that had been my girlfriends favorite before I met her. It was "I'll Be" except it was being sung by Corey Taylor (the lead singer of Slipknot) with his other band, Stone Sour. I tried to use the app on my phone to tell me what the song was, even though I knew it, but it wasn't working and as I was playing around with the volume of the radio, it kept getting messed up. When the song was over, I tried to call my girlfriend, but I couldn't get an answer. Eventually, I knew something was wrong and I believe I called the police and freak out as I report her missing. It flashes forward a bit to the police finding her car sunk in a flood, but she was taken before the car had sunk. 

At this point, I remember staring at the car, the door open and the car seat empty. I start hearing a song playing, titled "The Little Things Give You Away" by Linkin Park and I start seeing a lot of flashes of things that I can't grasp, but I believe the dream fast forwarded. The last thing I do remember, is holding my girlfriends hand, water surrounding us, and the biggest tidal wave I have ever seen about to crash down on us. I remember the water being a crystal clear blue unlike anything I had ever seen in my life. We were holding hands and staring into it as it towered over us, before it eventually crashed down on us.

Don't Leave Me, Scythe Girl

I haven't had a dream in the last two days, but about three days ago I had a series of dreams in one night that I never got around to recording. So I'm going to make up for that now.

***
Dream One
I believe I was at some kind of convention, it was possible that it was supposed to be a local anime convention that I go to. I had to use the bathroom, but the only thing around was a urinal that was kind of in the open, but you stood in it kind of like a little bathroom stall. The people around could see you and talk to you, but they couldn't see your lower body. I went to use it and was talking to some people and some tall weird old guy came up to me and started touching my back. I told the guy off and started yelling at him, and then he grabbed me by the throat and took me from the urinal and started taking me through a hotel. I was choking and couldn't breath and he was moving me quickly through a labyrinth of hotel rooms. My girlfriend was chasing after us and eventually managed to save me from the man. At this point there are two things that could have happened that I'm not sure of. The man retreated back to a big dark evil looking castle, and I turned into an awesome looking hero. I think the guy took my girlfriend with him, but I'm not sure, because I also had a partner wielding a scythe and I'm not sure if she was supposed to actually be my girlfriend. Either way, I was told I was supposed to gather a group of seven people, each wielding a different legendary weapon in order to take down this evil master. In the middle of this however, it faded from me being in the dream to me watching the cool looking heroes on a TV screen. I looked out my window and saw an ambulance outside and some paramedics approaching my house. I went into my moms room to see she was watching the same movie on her TV, and asked her if she knew about the ambulance. She said she called them cause she was hurt or something and I went outside to see what was taking them so long to come to the door. Outsider, two of my friends were sitting on my roof and my girlfriend who was scared to climb up, and I told them I was watching the coolest movie I had ever seen, but didn't know where the paramedics were. My friends pointed out to me that they were meditating by the river in my backyard (which I don't have) because that's the type of paramedics these people were. I don't remember anything else from this dream though.

Dream Two
I was swimming in a pool while my friend's girlfriend was also swimming around in it, away from me. I got out and sat at a table that my friend's were sitting at and started talking to one of my friends. He told me he had broken up with his girlfriend (the one swimming in a pool) and I was kind of happy because she doesn't treat him too well. However, my other friend told me he was dating her now, and that's why she was still there. I got up from the table and started screaming at him that I was completely done with his friendship and I never wanted to see him again. I'm not sure if my friend (who just broke up with his girlfriend) told me this at that point or after I left, but he eventually told me that he was now dating my girlfriend. During my rage, I saw a woman at a table sitting with her kids and she was upset with me because of the language I was using (since I was cursing up a storm at my friends) and I apologized and paid for some of her meal. When I left, I saw my friend who was now dating my girlfriend, and he was holding her hand. I ran up to him and punched him and he punched at me, and I was in a complete rage at this point. We fought for a bit before I eventually walked away, feeling like crap and pretty much giving up on life. I was walking through a parking lot, unable to find my car, possibly because I had driven with my girlfriend and she now had the car. I saw an older brother playing soccer with his younger brother by a tree. I sat there and found a box containing a bunch of classic video games that in my dream were worth a lot of money. I asked the two brothers if it was theirs, and they said it wasn't. However, shortly after two other people in Street Fighter costumes came up and asked if anyone found their games. I handed them over and they left. The two brothers who were playing soccer started talking to me and I told them that my girlfriend of four years just left me. I started walking with them and we got back to their car. The younger brother showed me a scythe which reminds me of my girlfriend, who recently cosplayed Maka from Soul Eater. I call my girlfriend because I miss her, and I "wake up" inside my dream and find myself at a computer. I instant message my girlfriend, which wakes her up as well, and I ask her if she still loves me, to which she replies that she does. She types out three short stories for me to make me feel better and I go into my next dream.

Dream Three
I have a short dream about a guy who is dressed like Doctor Who (even though I've never watched Doctor Who) and calls himself Doctor What and he's like a super hero or something. I don't remember this dream that much, but I wrote down a note of it and it says that some guy flew threw a window and Doctor What took his organs. After this short dream though, I had another dream that I actually do remember.

I was at my dad's house and my little cousin was playing his Nintendo DS. I went upstairs in the house and my dad was talking to me while I looked out the window. I didn't hear what he was saying because across the street in a large glass window I saw a couple have sex, and was completely distracted by this. The next thing I know, I find myself in a weird tunnel-like place walking with my dad, my uncle, my grandpa, and my little cousin. We eventually find ourselves at three portals they each split up and walk through different ones, my little cousin going with his dad, my grandpa going through another, and my dad going through the last. I listen to what they tell me about each portal and walk through the same one my dad went through. At this point, I realize I am dreaming and the roads all begin to turn to rainbows and I follow them to one of the neighbors house (the same one from the Apocalypse dream). I imagine that a girl will be there and she is, but then I try not to think about scary thoughts and I see her face morph quickly into a demon before it changes back. I see she is watching A Clockwork Orange and think to myself that if this were real life, I could easily pick her up by talking about the movie, and say "I love this movie" out loud, even though I know I don't need to. She starts heading upstairs and I see her face morph one final time because I thought of scary thoughts again. She tells me to make love to her and reveals to me a very weirdly pierced body. I start playing with one of the piercings trying to figure out how the hell it was attached (because it was hooked up very weirdly to her body) but then my mind went completely black, almost like I closed my eyes. My mind tells me that if I open my eyes, I will back in the dream but I am hesitant to do this. I slowly open my eyes, but find myself laying in bed, woken up from my dream. I should have known this would happen, since closing my eyes and then opening them has always been the method I used to wake myself up from nightmares.

Kissing Girls

Weird dream last night. Felt something about it though, don't know what. Felt like my life was in danger the whole dream.

***
This started off with me playing baseball with some friends at a local park (weird, because I haven't played baseball in a while and today I actually spent most of my day playing a baseball game on PlayStation with my cousin) and I remember it being really early and me getting back into the car and driving home. When I got home there was some girl there washing dishes. I remember talking to her and looking into her eyes. It was like the whole world revolved around her eyes like I had never seen anything so beautiful in my life. Then I got the feeling like she wanted me to kiss her, so I did. After that we were both walking into my basement to get something and she fell over and died. I held her and tried to help her but it was no use. I think I saw a glance of hades (like the one from Disney's Hercules, except a bit more scary) like he had done this for some reason.

After that, I found myself at the beach. Something may have happened before this, but I couldn't remember. I saw a girl that I know and she was upset that a football she was playing with got taken away by the waves. I tried to go after it but was continuously knocked around by huge waves (which whenever I have a dream involving the ocean or waves they are usually so big that I cannot escape or I almost drown and it's a terrifying feeling). I remember just holding my nose as a huge wave would crash and take me under water and I struggled to breath. Eventually I found some stairs or something that I could go under where the waves wouldn't get to me and there were just little pools of water that I had to swim through. I eventually found the football as well and swam back through the pools to the girl. She was swimming around in one of the pools and I gave her the football and she was really happy. The next thing I know I was looking into her eyes and everything felt weird again, like something I can't explain. We ended up making out in the water, but at that point I realized it was a dream. I felt a little "glitch" in my dream and didn't want to mess with it in fear of waking up. Next thing I know, I woke up in a bed with a girl. I don't know if it was the game girl from the beach or someone different though. I also remember feeling like someone was plotting something against me and that they were outside of the apartment we were in, but before I could do anything I woke up.
