Dream Log 3 - The Prom, The Marriage, The Transcendence

“Another night of splendid dreams. If I was a pauper and lived in the streets I would still be blessed if I had such dreams”

---

I have 3 of my more potent dreams collected here for you. Some of these I have tweeted. One I know is totally new. (~_~)

The Prom, The Wedding, The Transcendence
Thursday, September 30

This one began in one of my repeating places. The school cafeteria / lunch line / formal dance.

Imagine a prom set in a regal cafeteria but with college spice thrown in. So I am in line and I am. Paraded through row after row of familiar faces. Some real. Some of the people I only “dream know” know them

So finally I arrive at the cafeteria food counter to pick my food. This I remember quite well. It was a detail feast. The heat lamps made everything a cast of gold. I ended up picking 3 strange meat/glazed pastry type foods. (Anyone remember the young Sherlock Holmes movie. When they hallucinated about the pastries coming to life :/ )
What was really amusing this time was that I got to enjoy my food. Now I usually never can get to eat my food in dreams. I remember deriving joy from the food, though I never became aware of any taste of the food.
Next the dream got weird…..
Well after the lunch line. Though by dream time it was night out and the party was in motion. It was beautiful.

The cafeteria main room was decorated in lace with glowing lights. But it was dark like a starry sky. There was dancing and familiars. The place was cavernous. Somehow I realized I was searching for someone that I loved :/ Yet try as I might I could get to her through crowd.

And then it was as if a veil had been pulled back! And I realized that this woman never returned my feelings and probably thought me a joke. I can recall if she was a real person or if it was just dream memories of the unreal.

It was like having water thrown on me. I realized I was in a Dream! Had I achieved lucid dreaming? It was like my heart was pounding super fast! I swirled around in amazement. Then I wanted to will myself to wake up but I couldn't. I didn't know how.

Simultaneously I felt scared that one should do such things like it would destroy a universe.

So I resigned myself to stay in the dream. No idea how time was passing or even if it did. Dream time is so weird like that. 1 minute can pass or 100 years….

Ah but before me on the dance floor stood an Amazon of a woman. Beautiful, other worldly and towering over me. Maybe 7 ft tall. So of course I hugged her in embrace. Grabbed her booty double handed and asked her to marry me. (O.o) It was that abrupt. Including the feelings of love, rightness… all of that marvelous mix. I was surprised I was not spurn, she accepted me as if she had been always waiting for it.

The scene switched to me carrying her to the marriage bed! I figure it was to consummate the marriage. I did carry her. She clung to my chest and it was odd. Despite her stature I did carry her quiet easily.

So I lay her down on the bed. But things had become weirder as this happened.

It appeared as if I was in a large ritual and ceremony. There were candles all around like thousands. The room lilting and shaded. Lace and goldish print everywhere. There were lines of people in white robes, with a Priest or Guide by the marriage bed. Holding a large tome in his arms, also beckoning like a person presenting for his Master to precede him through a door.

It felt as if an ancient rite and by doing this thing it would alter me in some way. That it might claim my life. I remember a feeling of deep melancholy over me. My lady lay on the bed beckoning me. I was aroused by her magic but also scared.

Then I entered her.

And the whole world disassembled itself. I was sent out of body. Transformed... (._.)

Has anyone ever seen the movie Dune? When paul drunk of the water of life he went on a transcendent journey that changed him. It was like that, with montages of far places. Desert places, and Space time. like I was Paul of dune.


I remember coming to awareness in bed some time later... and I remember it now. I was weak as a baby but the priest man leaned in and told me a year passed. But he also told me that I had made it, I passed. And that was all.

Passed? A test? A ritual? I don't know. But I awoke after that. Disturbing but enchanting. I was lucid at one point but maybe it was a faux awareness of the dream as I still had no control in the end. The water of life? Damn (._.) I took the worm trip through my dream wife. .... that's one for the record books.

Can not find my way home
9:59 AM Sept 11th

ALRIGHT folks! Last nights dreams were just a bit past scary....

This dream revolved around a strange light switch that could alter reality and time…. And let me tell you there was a facet of horror surrounding this premise that had me severely rattled the entire dream.

I ended up going back in time to change some event. This would further mess up my timeline. It wasn’t always time travel though. Sometimes it was reality alteration.

In one instance, it was Christmas but a terrible thing kept happening, and each time a changed it another terrible thing happen. So many rules, each one you stepped across to try to fix it, made things worse.

At one point I was stuck in the altered reality of an altered reality so I had to give up and try to make the best of what I had. I cried bad. This prospect destroyed me.

It is like getting lost in a maze where you thought you knew where the entrance was so you could backtrace, but turn around and it was gone. And no matter how long you try to get back to the path just behind you it would only get you more lost.

All the other travelers except me forgot what happened in the end. I remember a terrible feeling of despair. Like loosing your way, and not being able to fix. And no one knew something was wrong.

At one point a change radiated out from the switch changing everything into ancient China-like lands. Even though we ran, drove, etc. Couldnt escape the change wave. It was hard to describe that change in detail. Like a warping of reality and then there was a ancient Chinese city, with canals and giant constructs all around.

Forgot the second dream cause first was so disturbing. It involved trying to escape from my family home, and I remember my brother chasing after me as I jumped gates and danger was right behind us both. I remember feeling agile and the ease at which we jumped over the fences was incredible.

The Great Hunt
September ???

(This is an odd “not really” two parter, but a connect series of dreams that sometimes reoccur.)
This dream was like a fantasy quest. Your standard fellowship of the ring long quest.

Me and my team were some sort of legendary heroes and our job was to take out an assortment of evil beings.

One took place in a city under siege by creatures not unlike zombies. And some of the people hid on top of our houses. While we fought it out in nightmarish streets.

Another was a battle on a highway at High SPEEEDS! We then had to duke it out on a semi-trailer truck while it plowed through other cars on the highway.

The next one after that was a battle in a subterranean layer. I don’t remember about much of the battles before that, just the vague points I wrote down, but this subterranean cavern was like something out of the Journey to the Center of the earth. Fire and Lava venting on some corners. Huge fields of stalagmites and stalactites. Gas gushing out of vents. And large bridgelike structures. This battle took place against creatures that were rocklike and also were also supple like oily dirt at times. At this point I had strange rubbery qualities to my body, like an elongating supper hero. They compressed on my body and it was as if I was being singed and solidified. With a rocky scab / cancer coating my arms. Then they broke off and I flailed it off and I was rubbery again.

I never really remember defeating any of the evils it just skipped to the next scene.

The next was us infiltrating a school. Elementary. With me as a wizard. Not dressed as a wizard, but as a real wizard with spells. By dream knowledge I knew it.

My male assistant then took my arm and became a female wizard. Which elicited a raised eyebrow from me. He didn’t even act like it was a weird thing.

She put a hat on her head and it then conformed to her head. Shrinking. Very surreal moment. Then she took my arm tighter as we strolled in. That was the end of the dream as I remember it.

The incident involving this school appeared sometimes later. With me as a student at the school. The thing I remember about the damn school is its haunting long white halls. And sometimes I am a teacher or student. Sometimes the children are high school or elementary age. Weird it is like the same one I had from the invasion of the superheroes I posted a while back.

DreamLog – 4.10.10 - Mad Dog Down Below

Another Entry in the Dream Log.

Had a few interesting dreams this weekend. They are always rather interesting but I find I am getting better at recall too. One step closer to Lucid dreaming! This little dozy is named:

The Mad Dog Below

This one starts with me getting ready to leave work. But it had elements of when I would walk home from high school. Very odd. The entire scene was dusty colored overlay, like a black and white film but in shades of khaki, at least for the beginning. I remember leaving work in my changeable car and people being jealous. So they leave me behind as they flee from work.

I remember feeling really alone. My old lady love from High School was there trying to cross the street. She acted mad at me though, and refused to look at me or even talk to me.

So I start the changeable Car. This Car it seems changes into a Motorbike, then a suitcase, and then a bicycle. So I start peddling home. Not sure why since it could change. Or why I decided to peddle.

Weird thing is, I am peddling but its like I cant remember how to peddle, So I was stumbling in starts and tops for the longest time.

Then I was passing in a warped version of my old Tallahassee hood. But it was slumped like a crater and was covered by a huge thick tree canopy. Sunlight shown down into it at the breaks in cover like a dome.

I was thinking that it would be terrible if the entire world was devastated except for the part under the tree shield. I remember thinking the phrase, how terrible of you TL. Parochial.

On the way to the store I remember running into my old Best friend PL. It felt good to see him but he was indifferent too.

I peddle down a wooden stairway/bridge. As I pass down it I see that there are dead bodies hidden in the structure of the bridge. I reach out to tell PL but he is gone.

What is more. They are not dead. The bodies begin to move and yell at me as they were trying to hide. They were being chased. Then I am chased by something, it’s a big moving black wall, behind me like the fall of night.

Then I realize that my dog touches a body and I fear for some reason that it will change hi, so I slowly back down the wood stairs. Why I am running from the blackness, and then have a dog, and then even if I was running I was still on the stairs I don’t know. It didn’t make any sense.

---

Then the scene switches and I am in a Cupboard, FAAAAR off the ground. I look down and the Dog is below looking up at me. He is very Ferocios now and HUGE. And I think rabid or possessed.

He jumps up at the cupboard, but it is too high in the air..... far too high. Even still be gets about most of the way up. He keeps jumping up and trying to find purchase to get at me. Like jumping up on Tables and other things like the fridge far away. Oddly the scale seems too big for a mere kitchen.

Then I remember distinctly thinking that I had to find the thing/creature that cause him to change and kill it. What was it though? (Yes at this point it wasn’t anything to do with the wood walkway from before)

So I looked across at the other cupboard and I saw something black in a Hidden behind some bottles. I remember finding something heavy and seeing the shape and color of black feathers, like a crow. I throw the heavy thing and it hits it hard. The head of the bird deforming from the impact.

The Dog stops growling and jumping and begins to return to normal. Then I look over and the crow I hit but it has turned into a deformed headed black cat with a white chin. I remember distinctly looking for something heavy just in case I need to kill it again. Almost as if I didnt trust it. The dogs paws dug into the wood of the cupboard but he was changing back to normal and smaller. But well he had managed to jump up to my hiding spot now….. weirder.

Dream seemed reciprocal. Like it had looped into itself and stuff at the beginning of the dream happened at the end, though this could be a recollection based problem.

Well that’s it. See you all in the Dream Time again!

Dream Log – 04.02.10 - Four Big Dreams or One Colossal One?

This weekend I was gifted with an extraordinary amount of interesting dreams. The one I had Saturday was a big one. Not one or two or three, but four distinct dreams. It was quite a doozy and ran from hyper-real to extremely surreal to abstract.

The High School Investigation

This plunged me into the depths of some sort of high school throw back dream. And of course like any of those dreams. I have the anxiety of waking up lake from school and some how “knowing” that I had missed a lot of school and was failing. I REALLY hate that type of anxiety as it feels real.

Then I realize that I am at the school discussing an investigation I am pursuing with a classmate. As a student mind you. This is the thing of such dreams you know with certainty you are doing the thing, in this case investigation yet the details are simultaneously blurry.

I remember distinctly the white on white walls of the school. Its almost super clinically pristine halls. Devoid of all students

Then some how I remember being chased. And having to duck into a bathroom to escape. Who is chasing me is a mystery, I just know it is hyper urgent to escape. I try to hide in a girls bathroom but I can not stay as the feeling of rejection is so strong so I bail.

I remember entering a closet filled with equipment. I freeze in place site as someone opens the door, and it is almost as if he can see me, some sort of uniformed squat-shaped man. Some how he does see me and chases me, but it is as if I had time to look for an escape. I see a door labeled XXXX (As I usually cant remember the details of letters in my dreams, even though at the time I remember reading and understanding it. I enter the door. And the little room begins to descend.

End of Dream 1

Resurrecting an Ancient Evil

This is a continuation of the other dream. As I notice I am descending into the depths of the Earth. Trust me the dream always fills in these details in the back of the mind that doesn’t mind.

I realize that my perspective has switched and I am now one of this ancient things Followers. Caught up in a plot to resurrect and ancient evil. One Xanatos of ancient Atlantia. (Which is weird as I seldom remember the names of such things, keeping a dream log has been helping in that regard.)

Now you are asking, how do you know this TL. Look people I remember it because its like having an impression, a knowledge of things you do should not/could not know. But its there. My brain fills in the blanks and It is disconcerting sometimes.

Not sure what/who Xanatos is. I just get the impression of malevolence and fearing to fail it. Image wise I remember traversing down deep rock tunnels with little glowing lights in the ceiling. This lead to a vast chamber, larger than a city maybe. On the floor of this giant cavern is patterns of light and darkness, like someone took the stars in the sky and scattered them on the ground. But in the shape of some large being.

Now it cuts to a college campus, there is panic at this place. Its dark out but you can see a haze in the air. Like cloudy twilight. Then the city is in panic.

Not sure why but then it cuts to a scene of four elements Rushing down a tide to the intersection of one street. A fire torrent, a river, a wind torrent, and a rock slide. The sky is pitch black. Then the four elements collide together at the intersection. A large mountain grows out of the earth at this location. Colossal, like it is bigger than it should be to be in the place that it is.

Down in the depths of the earth Xanatos is going to awaken.

Then I find myself (I am back to myself) wandering through the wilderness to find a path to a castle with a huge skull on it. This is dark, dead tree type wilderness, and the world seems devastated, almost like it was another dream, but there was no transition.

It seems like the castle I am journeying to is movable like on a map, I remember thinking that the castle was too close to the resurrection mountain so I move it on the map with my hand, and I now the location has changed. We cross a large creature. A creature so large its skeleton spans the gap of a large canyon.

I remember thinking, knowing, that in ancient times The Native Americans built this bridge out of defeated great enemy.

---

Suddenly it transitions again and I am back to the High School. But this time there is a army of super heroes outside the high school getting ready to go in. I remember getting recruited by them to show the way down into the earth. Then we fight at the school, fighting the minions of Xanatos. But all I remember is them flying, jumping, rushing into the school. I don’t remember much after that but. I do remember there is a huge celebration in the parking lot/city streets. So I assume we won.

Later I get impressions old villains are being resurrected by someone and that the Heroes government agency has been infiltrated by doppelgangers. These villains seemed to be entirely made up by my dream brain. I remember them saying their names but now I can recall them at all.

End Dream 2 (Hey that’s how it ends)

The Magic Shopping Mart

This one begins with me and my mom at a mysterious grocery store type place. It seems huge! But from the outside and at other times, seems small and tight. It also reminds me a little of the eternal mall from my other dreams.

Also of note, I am a little boy and my mom seems like this angelic creature with an inner glow. And I remember feeling a lot of love for her as we cruised the store. At one point I remember wandering into the toy section. In it is a selection of old toys and really rare games, (That don’t exist) and yet I remember thinking. When I grow up I would like to come back here and buy some of these old gems.

The lighting in the store was low, like barely above candle light. Mist seemed to travel down the hallways. I remember it being kind of high for my little chest. Mom glowed in it though. I remember trying to decide between certain boxes of pizza to put into the grocery cart. It seemed like a VERY important decision. Then we were in the checkout line. And I remember that Ma said she forgot something, and talked about it with the clerk. Ma then left the line and the Clerk directed her over the loudspeaker to go to Isle 7 or 9 to find what she wanted. And the perspective was from over her shoulder as she went, and the announcer directed her exactly to the right place. I remember thinking “Wow, that is a nice server that they do that for their customers”.

Then we exited out into the night.

I really enjoyed this dream. It was good hanging out with Mom as a little boy, and the store was so calm and ghostly.

End Dream 3.

The Fight for Earth.

This is a weird one. In this an alien armada is approaching the Earth for invasion. I remember that there was a large scramble as the superheroes, militaries, and even villains of the world joined forces to meet this threat. Okay this sounds funny but I distinctly recall the image of Cobra Commander.

I remember our forces being extremely ragtag but it was the only hope we had.

Then the fight begins. But it is in the sky over the battlefield. Ship to ship. With the physical armies arrayed beneath the big ships. Weird weird tactics. I remember our forces engaging and being beaten back to retreat, our ships flee, leaving us on the ground stranded. The enemies advance into us, only to have them destroyed or damaged by the ships I though had left us to fight alone, but had hid in a forest until the aliens passed over them. I remember the ground forces cheering as the enemy army is damaged but then the alien ships above counter attack and badly damage our ships who really flee this time.

At one point it switches to the ranks of enemy troops lined up in battle formation like Roman centurions would do. I remember a slave master alien telling the slaves to prepare to fight and die, or they would be killed. It was a tall creature, with a Root shaped head, and three large spikes sticking out of the top, which I knew oddly were its eyes/sensory organs.

I remember the alien’s slave troops discussing amongst themselves that they didn’t want to fight us. That we fought good and that it would be a good time to betray the aliens and fight for their freedom. One of the rebel leaders had a scheme to get one of the others rebel leaders killed though, and he withheld his forces at the last instant in battle throwing the field into chaos.

Then it was over, the aliens were retreating. I remember looking into the sky and hearing someone say “Now that the American Defense Fleet is here, we actually stand a chance. Let them deal with them.”

Then I looked into the sky and saw their Professional looking, Powerful, and Organized space fleet, against a backdrop of stars. It looked mighty impressive indeed and I felt relief at last. Especially as I had been feeling like this was the end of the world, and everything was grim, until the Reinforcements came and I felt there was hope

End Dream 4.

As you can see, it was a very entertaining night of dreams. Writing down the dreams has greatly increased my recall when trying to reproduce the memories. One step closer to Lucid Dreaming!!

Till next time mates!!!!
