The Dream Thread

[Headspin]

I've been returning the same place for the last 4-5 nights consecutively. Its always a party neither here nor there (meaning from where I am west coast to my home back east) but both also. Every night its pretty much every friend I've ever had (and some I had even forgotten about!) and I at a party in a killer house on the water. The weird part is that its the same damn place but different dreams. Slowly getting the hang of pushing the direction of the flow but still have a long way to go. ha.



Doc Awkward, I have reason to believe that the supplement will gradually enter your system. You should really try to take the same amount (once you find the right dosage) at the same time every night.

Last night I kept dreaming about jumping from extremely high places and into water...I know I had 2 but I can only clearly remember one of them.

I'm swimming in brown water, the sort of colour a river goes after a big flood...Actually, it is a flood. There are huge trees half submerged and I'm swimming through it with some people. The water is relatively still. I climb a tree and get to the very top. It is incredibly high. There is a power line and I grab onto it without fear of being electrocuted and make my way out over the water. I got a bit of vertigo looking down. Like I said, it was really high. I climb out a ways so I don't hit any tree branches and let go. I count roughly a four second fall as I drop...Then I swim toward some more trees coming out of the water, doing backstroke to watch some other people climb and drop. I am swimming very fast....

That's it. I still have the image in my head. All the trees were pine trees.

Having been on a pot break for the past couple days, I've had a couple of dreams. They're recorded in my dream journal, and I've been doing reality checks during the day. Lucid dreaming, here I come.

Yep, only keep it up to continue the process.

Allow yourself to be distracted when the time comes, and instead of moving up, you'll move a step down.

Here is one I quite enjoyed that I had a couple of nights ago.



I was on some kind of space ark. I was trying to establish a space on it to sleep and shelter, and I get the impression of a large, cold cabin. I initially was going to set up on the far end near a wall before a windy cliff, but then I decided to go back to the corner near the door because it was more sheltered and less cold. I intermittently shifted to a dream withing the dream, in which I was going back to a time-place in earth, although I got the distinct impression I wasn’t dreaming as much as transporting myself. The actual moment of perspective shift doesn't come to mind, I think it was more of a simultaneous, cutup thing. I was roaming around a suburb, I remember it being hilly and near the sea. I remember a sequence where I was seducing and fucking a pretty lady around her early 30’s or late 20’s, I think she may have been a teacher and she was staying after school. I cannot remember if I was fucking her on earth or on the space station, but I think when the dream shifted to that gear the environment became arbitrary.

The next sequence I was back on another space station, this one looking more like a corridor filled with panels and screens except that like before people were setting up beds and living spaces. It felt like it was a circular area with kind of cubicle walls allowing enough room for someone to set up a bed and some personal items. I can’t remember if I started off by fucking in this one too, but I remember a pretty Asian masseuse at some point, or possibly reoccurring. At some point the captain was tracking me down for semi public indecency but I had the impression I was an agent or spy or something. I remember I fled to some vents that felt like a jumping castle except shaped like vents and crawling around the circular environment. I remember hearing people talking and taking interest but I cannot remember what they were saying. I found a talking skull at the end of the vents which opened up a ribcage to offer me another girl, a very pretty Asian again I think, my age. I cannot remember if I had sex with her but I recall being most excited in the dream context by kissing them. I think I had them in multiple positions but beyond that I cannot detail more. It is interesting that this dream was overtly sexual but I didn’t have a wet dream, as I tend to do when they are sexual. I think that may be because I was stoned when I went to bed, or that I have been jacking off more than usual and maybe I simply didn’t have any juice left.


edit: one really interesting thing of my dreams of late is that smoking doesn't seem to kill them off like it usually does. I dunno if it is because my intake is light or because I had a break but I am finding it makes no difference to my dreaming; if anything it is a catalyst.

For some reason I can't be near people when I become lucid. It's just like this feeling I've had on the few occasions I've used LSD in public. I'm moving around, figuring out my reality but then I must interact with someone, and I feel like I can't do it. But I try anyway, and I usually make it plainly obvious that I'm not quite 'with it' to an extent that I just do whatever it takes to remove myself from the situation. That could mean leaving a store without buying anything, twiddling my thumbs right out the door as I talk to myself. Or, in a dream, I might just shake a dream character in frustration until I've lost control of the situation entirely. To really enjoy any of it, I have to fly off alone to enjoy myself in seclusion.

If I'm right, then perhaps gaining mental security is key to fixing this. But how might one go about doing so for their subconscious, dream-induced state of mind? Does anybody else have this problem?

Also, tags are hilarious.

I had an interesting dream a few nights ago. I recall that it began with me standing in front of a door. It seemed to be an old wooden door. I opened it.

Inside appeared to be like an old cellar or something like that. Made out of old stones, like I was in a castle dungeon or something. There were four columns, they all had one side facing toward the center, with a torch on them lighting the center. Beyond the light it was pitch black.

In the center, bound by chains was a nude woman on all fours crying. This is a women of whom I recently had relations with. (That was a big complicated ordeal which I feel guilty about. But I am trying to better myself.) I walked over to her, and she looked up to me and began to try to pull herself up on me, and out of the shadows behind her appeared (who I assume was) a men in a brown hooded cloak. He handed me a club/baseball bat looking thing and told me to beat her.

And so I did.

None of this was controlled by me.

but I am guessing it could possibly have something to do with frustration from her?

[kingOfCrash]

Am I the only one that doesn't care about anyone's post in this thread, unless it is a response to my own post?

I've had 3 lucid dreams in the past week. All have been wasted on sex. What should I do next time? (my dream control is limited)

[Figure-8]

I had them again last night. Ever since I was little I'd have these dreams.

I go somewhere far away. I even started taking this path in my dreams before I did in this world. I used the same tools, saw the same people, went to the same places, activated the same neurons and centers because the brain alights the same. I can tell what I'm doing, in both places, and I can feel the similarity on Earth when I'm in the right place heading in the right direction.

I can separate, now, which dreams are coming from which places. I can tell just like you can tell any day's weather simply by being outside. If I focus in the dream, I'll remember the location on Earth. Eventually I'll end up there and it will represent or be represented by the dreams.

I don't know which is first, the dream or this reality, or whether the dreams are influencing this reality to that high of a degree.

But I am starting to remember where the dreams are coming from, and where the locations are.

I have been finding myself in these locations more and more. Just last night, I was there, in the dream, but I remember the location as somewhere I've started going in the passed few years.

And I've had these dreams my whooooole life. I'm starting to remember why now.


Almost every big event was within a dream, before it happened, and a large portion of what I've gained today in physical reality, was aligned for me through dream visions of the future.

holllly shit had a wierd one the other day.

Theres this thing i'm supposed to go to this weekend, in my dream, I was on my way to the thing which is like a hundred miles away and i've never been tere before so i was driving alone and shit, and for some reason I had an m249 machine gun with me, and i was just like, poppiing shots off out of my convertible (that I dont really own).

It was werid, i was hungry and stopped at a food store and had like 2 dollars and bougth tacos or something and ran inot highschhool friends going to the same thing i was so we went to the car and my machine gun was gone but i wasnt mad. all this i was looking like through 3rd at myself and I was the fuckig JOKER . wtf right?

Then we get there, and its like, nothing what its supposed to be, it was like a dog clinic or some shit, but the dogs had no medicine. the Vet was like we got some experimental drugs we want to try on them, so i mixed some up and shot it in the dogs mouths and saved their lives.

then I walked through the back, and its like, a gigantic fucking water park(which is not even close to waht im supposed to be attending. I'm walking through it and there are like, everyone wearing football (soccer) jerseys? and it n the giant lines for the slides people were shouting fucking Soccer chants at each other for some god damn reason. so i started saying USA USA USA USA USA. i was watching soccer while I was falling asleep so that probably explains that.

So I wait in line and finally get on a slide, I go down after this dude, and i went to soon or something and i'm right behind him, and someone got stuck in the slide for some reason, and the guy in front of literally knockes the fuck out of him but he stays stuck, and I dodge the guy some how. I get to the end and am watching for the stuck guy to slide down, and he does, and he lands like sitting down, then he flops down on his head and looks dead and in the dream I remember I winced and felt extremely sad for him, for like 2 seconds.

Then for some reason water park was like, a prison camp..l... or college or something, and i was trying to leave but these fucks trying to make me stay, and I see this dude trying to leave too, so I go with him. He's an old white guy, and we get the fuck out of there.

Then, we're in new york city for some reason (never been even close to NYC) and suddenly the old white guy is an old black guy and he's like lemme show u around da place. we get in a train car and go somewhere, and its like a fucking dystopian prison compound or some shit. It was fucking wild.

I dont remember how, but I ended up back at the water park with the guy i escape with, but this time, its Jesse from breaking bad. We're in line for a slide which is like 100 stories high. he's leaning on a rail and says something like "u know this place isn't that bad after all, then falls down and I watch him splat on the ground......

It was the craziest fucking thing i've ever dreamed . I woke up and tried to make a note of everything that happened so i culd actually remember all this weird shit.
