Scenes from my Dreams

Notes: Been talking dreams with some people in the Evennia Discord recently and I believe the conversations caught up with me. Foods Eaten: Salad with southwest cauliflower bites, chai tea. The Dream: ...I don't remember exactly what was happening, just that it wasn't something wildly unbelievable and I intensely did not like whatever it was. (Part of me wants to say it was something like my dog dying...). Usually my brain defaults to "this has to be a dream", but I think because of the plausibility of whatever it was,  my dreaming brain said, "I want this to be a dream."  The thought did not cause anything to happen, I did not wake up, the scene did not change, and I was still stuck in the same situation. But, desperately not wanting it to be real, I continued telling myself, "I want this to be a dream," and proceeded to convince myself that it was.  Suddenly, I was shot back in time, to some average every day memory of life ten years ago. I was i...

Notes: Again... in a cereal coma. Foods Eaten: Cereal The Dream: I had just woken up, abruptly, from a dream. I had to use the bathroom, so I got out of bed, but I was so groggy I immediately fell to the floor. I was trying to shake the sleep state off, but I couldn't get my eyes to open more than a squint. All I could see was the bathroom walls, as I sat on the bedroom floor. I was in a semi-panicked state, trying to figure out what was wrong with me and simultaneously trying to recall what I had been dreaming about. It suddenly clicked... "This is a dream!" Everything went white around me. I took a deep breath and tried to stabilize the dreamstate, looking where the bathroom walls had been. I wanted them to come back so I could continue onward in the dream, but it wasn't happening. While I was in the lucid state, it turned more like semi-lucid. I became aware of my actual body and sounds around me, the dream state seemed confused. I was wondering if my actual...

Notes: Apparently if you eat cream cheese buffalo crab dip 30 minutes before sleeping, you dream a lot. Holy crap. Three dreams I remembered in one night? Might be a record... Foods Eaten: Pretzels dipped in aforementioned cream cheese buffalo crab dip. The Dream: I was laying in a single bed in my old bedroom at the house I grew up in. It was night time, and presumably I was in that phase between sleep and awareness. My eyes were closed, but I was mildly aware of my surroundings - it was dark out, in the middle of the night, but there was a storm. Even with my eyes closed I could see flashes of light and I could hear thunder. Suddenly, my mom came upstairs and began speaking, which fully "woke" me up. I told her that I had been having a dream about her and that actually hearing her voice woke me up... Little did I know I was still actually asleep...

Notes:  Whoa. I didn't immediately remember this dream when I woke up, but it after recalling it it was kind of like meeting my inner child or something. The Dream: I was standing in the hallway of the basement of the house I grew up in/lived in for the vast majority of my life thus far. I was facing the room that had been my mom's office, and I walked into it. The room was arranged exactly as it had been when I lived there, down to the ratty old blue couch against the left wall. There were no lights on, but the computer on my mom's desk was emitting a soft glow making the room vaguely visible. I don't actually remember anyone else being in the basement with me, but I heard one of my family members say in a hushed panicked voice, "Hide! There is someone in the house!" Instinctively, I went to the closet that was in my mom's office. I quietly shut the door, but not quite all the way. As soon as I got in the closet I realized that I had picked the most ob...

Notes: This was kind of odd... not the dream itself, just the way it repeated itself. Foods Eaten: Spaghetti Dream Location: Sitting at a table somewhere outside The Dream: Back in real life, it was about 8:00am. I had just woken up to take my dog outside, I brought him back in and played with him for a minute, then made my rounds on my cell phone. After about 5 minutes, I put the phone down and went back to sleep... I was sitting at a wrought iron table, outside. It seemed to be a patio area of a restaurant or perhaps just a public seating area. Naturally, I was bored, so I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket. I opened up my deviantArt app, and when the page loaded, I noticed I had over 2000 messages waiting for me. I freaked out ecstatically, and opened them up to find that I had gotten a daily deviation. I tried to click on a link to the picture to find out what photo I had actually got the DD on, but nothing would go to the page. After a few minutes of clicking around, I ...

Notes: When I woke up, I remembered a strangely large amount of detail from this dream. It was definitely one of my more vivid ones in a while, unfortunately I seem to have forgotten a bit of it since I failed to quickly transpose it. Foods Eaten: Chicken and broccoli Alfredo Dream Location: A very large and upscale version of our family friend, Lynn Wilson's house. The Dream: I don't remember where it started... but I was walking down a vast hallway. The ceilings were extremely high... something you would see in a castle. Everything seemed so elegant, the doorways were mahogany and nearly the height of the ceiling, and curved and pointed at the top... like what you might see on a church. The walls were half paneled and half covered in a tan and brown scroll patterned wallpaper. One of the doors to my left opened, and looking inside I saw a black and white tiled floor with restaurant tables and waiters walking around the room. There was a busboy collecting dis...

Notes: I had an excessive number of dreams last night, and amazingly remember them all. I'm going to say alcohol helped induce these. Foods Eaten: Can't remember what I had for dinner, but I had a snack of Jalapeno chips and a good number of rum and cokes... Dream Location: My bedroom. The Dream: I was laying on my bed in my room, though my bed wasn't in it's usual spot. TJ was in the room with me, standing near my door. He took off his shirt, then announced he'd be back in a second, presumably going to use the bathroom. As he turned to walk out the door, I saw his bare back, and noticed he had a tattoo on his right shoulder blade. It was very fine-artsy, inked in all black. It was a lighthouse with a landscape drawn in front, and to the right, was just a black box... like a small house for the lighthouse keeper or something. Examining the tattoo, it looked brand new, the skin around it red with irritation. I was puzzled, trying to figure out when and where T...

Notes: ... Foods Eaten: Mashed Potatoes & Ribs Dream Location: Not fully sure, inside a car at some point The Dream: I don't remember much in particular about this dream. I know the my co-worker Dan and his wife Lynn were there, and two of "his" kids were there - but the two kids were actually my cousins Mary Anne and Nate. At some point, we were in a car. Dan was driving, his wife in the passenger seat. I was in the middle of the back seat, with Mary Anne to my left and Nate to my right. I think we were trying to run away from something... like the end of the world maybe. I remember we stopped somewhere, everyone got out of the car. I think we were camping for a night. I'm not sure why, maybe I dropped something, but I ended up having to crawl underneath the car for whatever reason. When I got underneath it, the car started lowering itself, trapping me under it and then sealing itself to the road. I was struggling to find a way out, with no luck... a...

Notes: So, my boss bought me an awesome book about Lucid Dreaming as my Christmas present. I started reading it two nights ago - I barely got into the second chapter last night - and low and behold, I already had a lucid dream. The experience is pretty fascinating, so I'll probably have to be more narrative than I usually am with my dreams. Foods Eaten: Lemon Pepper Chicken Dream Location: Dirt path then Richard's Bedroom The Dream: I am walking along a dirt path, surrounded by lots of people. Everyone is smoking cigarettes, except for me. Lining the path are lots of vendor tables set up, with people selling tshirts, lighters, cds, and other assorted random objects. I stopped to look at something on one of the tables (don't remember what I was looking at), I quickly got distracted by the two women that were running the table. One of them was normal, but the other one was pregnant, and hanging out of her belly button was a lit cigarette. This struck me as strange, a...

Notes: I have NO idea what provoked this dream. I cannot begin to express how badly it fucked with me - and as far as I know, it is only the second lucid dream I have ever had. If you can call it that. I'm going to try and italic this post up a bit so it will hopefully make more sense to the reader. TLDR; I had a lucid dream within a lucid dream. Foods Eaten: Subway and Eggnog (yummmm! I think this may be the culprit for this crazy dream.) Dream Location: Boyfriend's House... plus other various... The Dream: (It begins as a dream inside my dream) I am at my boyfriend's house, in the bedroom laying in bed, completely under the covers - head included. I feel something jump on top of me, it starts to claw gently into the covers on top of me and purr, and I realize that it's a cat. (The dream inside a dream becomes lucid) I suddenly notice that something is completely off - I'm not sure why there is a cat jumping on me, or who's cat it is, because my b...

Notes: So usually my boyfriend wants to have nothing to do with my dreams. Last time I told him one of them, he declared me insane and told me to stop telling him my crazy dreams. Well, last night, I guess he wanted to test out the Bleu Cheese dream theory (as in, he heard bleu cheese makes for crazy dreams). I happily obliged! And I dunno if he had any crazy ones, but here's mine. Also, this dream "felt" really intense and in the dream I felt scared - especially at the beginning, but my dreams don't actually scare me anymore. Foods Eaten: Buffalo Wings with lots of Bleu Cheese Dream Location: Boyfriend's House... elsewhere The Dream: I was in my boyfriend's basement, with him and someone else (no clue who it was) . My boyfriend and I were curled up together on his couch, watching X-files. It was an episode about aliens living on earth, and the government's conspiracy theory to destroy them. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, it shocked all o...
