I was at some kind of party, but outdoors. I was talking to some girl I know. The moon was shining bright. It was very big, much bigger than ususal, and accompanied by clouds which made a very great picture out of this.
Then she said: “OH, LOOK, HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS, YOU HAVE DO PAINT THIS INTO YOUR DREAM DIARY!!” I said, “yes, indeed, I will paint it into my dream diary.” (sometimes I draw some sketches IRL, but no colored paintings. I’m not very good at painting colored pictures at all.)
Then we sat down and engaged in some kind of erotic interactions… (which will not happen IRL either… I enjoyed it in the dream, but… no, not her, although she’s quite pretty )
I just did not make the logical connection, that something, what is to be put into the dream diary, has to be a dream!
I had a dream in which a friend of mine is talking to another copy of him. The first demonstrated a behaviour my friend would usually behave and the other replied with another of my friend’s usual responses.
Not only did i introduced them to each other, I even turned to each of them and thought, “thats how he likes to behave”!!!
I have a lot of near misses, still. Recently I had a dream in which I checked the clock. A few minutes later, I checked it again and then again. I noticed that the time was not behaving normally, a sure sign of dreaming. I started talking with a stranger who was standing in my bedroom (another really obvious sign) and he said, “You know, this could be a dream.” I spent a couple of minutes disagreeing with him, until I woke up.
I miss a lot of obvious dream-signs–I don’t realize it until I wake up and I can’t help but laugh at myself.
It’s usually the transitions that get me. Like, just recently, I was in this mansion/condo place and walking down the hall from my bedroom and then I was in a daycare hallway. Then I go through a door and I’m back in my room…
Or just this morning, I dreamt a Domi Li and me were going through this cemetary and we came to this creepy Amityville-style house and from first glance there was an open side-yard and small front porch. The porch got bigger when we went up to it–oh, we had to climb an iron-wraught fence that just appeared–and when we tried to escape from some Sirius Black-type guy with these vicious dogs all of a sudden a fence was blocking the side-yard! I was like, WTF!? I need to get out of here!
Meh, maybe not too obvious–but, these are just the recent ones…
I stepped out of the flat to the stairs. It was pretty dark, so I wanted to switchr the light on. At the place, where the lightswitch normally is, there were two lightswitches: The “normal” one and the second “modern one”, which had a blue LED-light on it, so you can find the switch easily in the dark.
I tried both of them, but they both did not work, it remained dark. I thought something like “Oh no, they already disabled the old lightswitch, although the new one still does not work.”
I think I also thought something like “such stupid things should happen only in dreams, not in reality.”
I was running from a horde of zombies and just rounding a corner when my view moved in a place just above where I was. I even saw my self still running and the I notice these two guys arguing about whether I should be lucid… I missed that dream sign!!!
Right now, it seems that my friends and my school (most of the time in the caf.) are a part of more than half the dreams I have. Maybe soon I will become lucid.
Aw, just this morning–these Russian or German military guys were seizing my house–I think grenades were used, too–of course, this was completely normal to me .
Last night I dreamt that I was taking one of my middle school classes, but with one of my high school teachers. The class was also being held outside, with desks and everything.
Missed a dreamsign last night, was rummaging through a person’s drawer really quickly to find something, and thought it might be hidden in a book. Found a book on the desk titled “The sequel to this dream”. Opened it frantically searching for whatever i was looking for, didnt find it.
This is twice now that i’ve missed dreamsigns that specifically referred to dream continuation, rather than awareness of that dream.
I’m sorta expecting my dreams to end now with a big sign saying “TO BE CONTINUED…”
anyone else had successive dreamsigns such as this?
Phil Lamar was buttering a monkey named Stanley and wanted me to “pass the tacos.” I passed him a pancake and he put it on like a hat, said “thanks,” and we both started singing that theme to “Three’s Company”–the monkey, too…
Once I dreamt about lying in a sewer pipe underground, together with a bunch of road constructivist people, all wearing the yellow helmets and orange tunics. We all had very big mustaches and we were singing songs much like Monthy Pythons lumberjack song.
When I woke up I laughed myself silly I didn’t notice I was dreaming
One thing that happens to me a little too often is when in a dream, I remember that something that exists in the dream I’m having doesn’t exist anymore, and I go, “how strange is that?”, but am never able to develop that thought any further. For instance, a few weeks ago I dreamt about stroking the head of my siamese cat, Sylvi, who passed away this summer. At some point I realized, “wait, how can this be? Sylvi’s dead…”, but I couldn’t turn that into an LD. Dang, it was this close!
