So it's not quite every few days, but look at this, it hasn't even been a month and I'm updating! Yeah I know I'm like three days away from a month. Ah well.
I've had some dreams. Some noteworthy, some not. I've been doing a semi good job of keeping track of them and writing them down, but I just exhausted my notepad and need to find another because supposedly using the same dream journal every time is a part of the lucid dreaming techniques.
I had a few that aren't worth telling the whole story. One about a princess who takes off all of her royal garb to blend in with the common folk and ends up boarding a boat and as I'm saying goodbye my friend Reinert comes by and says he's going too, but instead of jumping on the boat he just starts swimming with a bunch of other people and I'm terribly concerned because they are going on a long journey and there's no way they can swim there.
In another dream found walking with my sister Heidi when the writer Joe Hill walked up next to us. It was strange because we were walking on a main road, but it was covered with about 3 feet of hard packed ice with huge ruts that would make driving impossible. He invited us into his trailer, and then after we rode Go-Karts and I saw people in line that I knew, including my other sister, Liz, who told me what she was naming her child, Owen Sabre, which I asked her..."you mean like light SABRE???"
So those are kind of boring, but then I had a couple good ones. One of them was a lucid dreaming breakthrough. I dreamed that I was on the dirt road leading to my moms house and it was night time. There were a group of people down the road and I kept trying to get their attention by rolling blue rubber balls in their direction, but they never looked my way. Eventually I gave up and noticed a brand new telephone pole and figured that it had been put in after the recent wind storms. There was a yellow sledge hammer leaving up against the pole and after a brief look around, I decided I was going to steal it. As I made my way up the dirt road I saw that the only car in the driveway was mine.
This was the point in the dream where my mind started figuring out that this was a dream. I remember thinking that it was strange that my car was the only one there, but then I thought it was also strange that I drove it there, because at the time in real life ,I had not driven the car in a couple months because it was uninspected and unregistered. Instantly I did a couple of my lucid dreaming tests, the first was counting my fingers, which worked fine, and then I tried jumping, as I walked to the top of a hill.
I went up, and started coming down for a second, but then it was like I caught a draft and just continued back up. I began rising higher and higher, and when I was about twenty feet off the ground I let out a cheer of excitement and held the hammer up in victory, and then a moment later, I woke up.
So mad. This is one of the big parts of lucid dreaming that they talk about. Flying. I did it, but they also say the first few times you get so excited that you wake yourself up. Ah well. A milestone in my quest to fully lucid dream.
The last one on record I have was pretty action packed. I was riding on a boat in a harbor with some other people. There were boats all around and everyone was having fun. Out of nowhere, a siren goes off and people start screaming about rogue waves. Theres no time to act, we look behind us and theres a wave, hundreds of feet tall that is looming.
Screams ring out as the first of these monster waves crashes over, leaving our boat on it's side. Somehow I've managed to hold on, even though ever other person has been washed out. I look down in the water and see some of them swimming back towards the boat.
But suddenly I'm looking down on the scene from a plane and the people are talking about how more waves are coming in. I can see that there is a train of boats linked together with two huge cords and that they are being pulled along by a guy. Suddenly they all get hit with another wave and I'm back in the boat, helping people climb aboard. I notice that not only boats, but also half submerged cars and planes are linked by the cords and someone starts to scream that the guy cannot hold it any longer and despite another wave looming over us so big that it's blocking out the sun, I dive off the side of the boat.
This instant, heroic action music kicks in. Underwater, just as the mans grip slips, I catch the cords and in a feat of superhuman strength, start pulling them all to shore. I remember thinking in my head that I must be crazy because I was hearing action music and theres no way that could be real. I think this was the point where I was almost breaking through the dream, but like dreams often do, it quickly gave me something to think about.
On shore everyone is excited that I brought them back. People start saying that I am a hero and I need to go back to the village. So I walk back with some other people and I have a rifle over my shoulder. We get back and I got the idea that I was being brought to the people in charge, who everyone was scared of.
Word of my superhuman feats have already reached the village though and people are peering out of alleys and windows as I pass. I get to the people in charge and they clearly do not believe what they have been hearing. They start telling me that I need to follow what they say and I set the rifle down on the ground, telling them that I don't even need it.
Theres a tense moment where everyone is staring at me and I'm just glaring at them wide eyed.
I have a feeling that there was going to be a huge fight, but...of course. I woke up.
Ah well. Nothing like making yourself into a superhero in your dreams.
I know this is a lot to read and I'm pretty certain nobody will be reading it anytime soon. Thats all good. I'm still going to keep writing them.
Sometimes.
