Concaved Reality

I've been having pretty vivid dreams lately since my relationship breakup for some reason, perhaps the subconscious trying to balance out the emotions but the dreams help in some ways but don't in others.

From what I first remember of the dream I was playing a game from a First Person Shooter kind of view, I was in a Science Fiction like structure and it seemed visually to Halo (Only ever played the game for 2 hours back in 2006 or so).  I was being chased around this dream by my friends and we were all having a friendly match with paintball guns, after a few rounds the guns changed and the whole First Person experience turned into a Spaceship that was being overrun by some foreign virus that infected my friends.

I remember vividly sneaking around and being about to go up a ladder when a person jumped out of a hidden area of darkness which I had to subdue them, as I continued up the ladder I arose to being on a platform overlooking the world and being classed as a hero for saving the world from what had just occurred.  (I really wish I was artistic)  Arising out the top of the ladder with the world watching there was rich clay/tan colored cliffs all around me and I was standing inside a concave, I remember thinking to myself "What's going on?". 

Out the corner of my eye I saw a person from an old church I went too, I followed them and they went into this hollow in a roof that was inside smaller cave that lead off from the concave.  It turned out to be my friend and he went up into this room to have a look, I put my head up to see but It got fairly tight so I decided not to go in.  My friend eventually came back with a recording/projector? or something that they were about to use for a church service.

I followed my friend through the caves then at the end it was like a secret backdoor into the church, it hard a staircase above it and you had to force yourself through a narrow gap in order to appear at the side of the church.  Inside it was just a hall with massive wooden breakers for seating and the stage had a pedestal and it was elevated about half a metre, I wondered what the heck I was doing here.  People kept walking past and it was very full, I looked for people that I knew so I didn't have to sit alone.

I saw some friends in the distance and when I went over I had a good catchup with people I hadn't seen for a year or so, I can't remember the exact topics but it was a long conversation.  The next thing I knew I was going out of the building, there was an exit and everyone was leaving even though the service hadn't even started, it was as if everyone just walked into the place talked then left.

Upon leaving I ended up being in a rather open large/suburban area that expanded  with trees everywhere, although they weren't lush, they were rather dark but it could've been that time of the year.  As I walked down the street a little I came across a house which was a massive mansion, there had been a black haired girl follow me from church.  For some reason I decided to invite her into my house, as we walked towards the entrance I discovered it was in a rubble but there was an open path to the right side of the main entrance.

We continued up along the entrance towards the house, as I opened the front door it was as if the whole concept of time itself shifted forward and backwards in a spiral and the girl that I'd invited in turned into some hysterical psychotic person that I was involved with somehow.  None of it made sense and I ended up running her out of my house.  When I reached the entrance to the house the dream ended and I woke up.

I experienced a slightly out of body experience from which when the dream ended I woke up to check the time on my phone and I thought it was only 5am which was a complete let down waking up that early.  Yet the same time I was conscious in reality, so I was dreaming about reality that was completely literal and complete yet at the same time I wasn't..."Logic right?"  But anyhow, in the end I really woke up and it was 11am.  It was a strange dream state between reality and the subconscious.

Dreaming Relationships

Hey guys, for anyone who follows me regularly I'm sorry for not posting any dreams.  One of my worst fears came out and my girlfriend broke up with me.  My dreams have been a consist reminder of my relationship so I've decided to not put them up for the meantime.

Valerian...

Just wondering if anyone has tried this herb for sleep as I hear its good with dreams?  I've ordered a few different "Natural Products" from the states to try and see how it effects my sleep.  Will post updates on that when it arrives.

Trusting Reality

Hey people, the following dream will contain a bit of non-dream information too as this dream was something different and unique and I'm sure we've all experienced something like it.

First off I'll try explain most parts of my dream although I will skip alot as there is some very personal information and to say the least explicit things.

--Dream--

I was in a world or a town that had a cliff nearby, the sky is that like in The Barrens off "World of Warcraft", (No I haven't played WoW for at least 3 years now). To the other side was flat land with a shop, if I recall right it was a shop that had a tropical island look to it with it being made out of palm trees and flax roof and a sign which I can't remember what it said.

Next part a car pulled up which had some people in it that I didn't recognize, I had this thought that I needed to go with them so I eventually got in the car and off we went, as we were driving through this cliff like land the whole scenery changed and it looked as if we were traveling through some kind of wormhole (Like on Stargate if you've ever seen it)...look below

After doing this for a while we passed a few planets which came out into a supermarket, now I have no idea and this makes no sense why it would end up in a supermarket of all places but it did.  I appeared to be walking with 4 other people around a supermarket, my girlfriend was one and another her friend then another random person.  I decided I'd be affectionate and put my arms around all of them to make them feel loved <3.

Now comes the strange part of the dream, the whole scene changed and I was in an empty blank building with a cellphone.  I was trying my hardest to get ahold of my girlfriend as I didn't know what had happened but she didn't respond, I eventually escaped out of this warehouse like building to go back into the cliffside area which had changed into a small "Redlight District" town full of chaos.  Through this time about 2 days went past and I remember trying to call her and txt but getting no reply.

I decided to keep walking and walked out of this town through a farmland area that had cornfields either side the roads were sealed but had no lines on them, eventually I came upon a house that turned out to be a small cottage (maybe from the previous dreams 2 days ago?).  Anyhow it looked the same made out of old wood and varnished insides and everything just old about it, it seemed like days went past in my dream until it was a week when I hadn't heard from my girlfriend at all, at this point I was sad and confused.

As I was walking into a town to get some supplies I decided to try one last time....she picked up and started talking to me, I can't remember the exact conversation but I felt as though it was something bad.  At the same time I got into this town which was under attack by some local thugs or rebels, this point in the dream I became completely Lucid (Or I thought I was), I could control everything at my will and make buildings change, people move away, make people come into the dream and everything to a certain extent.

The weird part is when I got too excited about it all and woke up, I woke up into what I thought was reality but really it wasn't.  I called my girlfriend again and had a normal chat like we normally do so everything seemed normal like it was reality, I was even laying in my bed.  Something clicked when I was talking to her and made me realize that I was dreaming inside a dream and woke up to the real reality.

My question to you is how do you differentiate your own dreams from reality?  Have you dreamed within a dream?

Chaotic Shake

Following dream is only in one part but will try to describe it the best I can, like my previous post said I haven't been able to sleep properly lately so the old REM sleep hasn't been good :(

--Dream--

The earliest part of the dream that I remember I was in a supermarket shopping with my girlfriend after a postquake panic which caused nearly everyone in the city to stock up on food and water.  The supermarket was quite large almost like a massive warehouse building not a properly done up supermarket, I didn't recognize any of the people around me but there was everyone rushing around.

Once we got to the checkout I remember putting the final item in my trolley onto the thing that scans it, there was a girl working there just scanning everything.  I gave her my card to pay for the item but it was declined for some reason, I asked my girlfriend if I could use hers and pay her back as it was all in a rush.  After paying we kind of had to rush out for a reason that I don't know.

When we got outside there were people looting and stealing cars in the carpark just outside, people were fighting each other and just being completely stupid for some reason.  I grabbed my girlfriend and decided to go straight for my car, for some reason my old car was parked right next to it also.  I told my girlfriend to take my current car and I'll take the old one.  I eventually realised this was a mistake when she took off  in one direction and got shot at then I'm pretty sure she got capture.

There was nothing I could do but try go get help, I took off in the car trying to dodge people running for their lives.  As I went down the road a bit further my car ran out of petrol or stopped working all together, I got out and started walking along the side of the road, the sky was just cloudy and a semi dark atmosphere.  I was so worried about my girlfriend but became quite lucid in the dream, I decided to go into the next house that I came across as no one would be in it in my dream where I was lucid.

Upon entering the house there was a strange old lady in her lounge, I can't exactly remember the layout but it may come to me later.  As I was in her lounge she was trying to find her phone when the whole house started shaking violently which was obviously an earthquake happening, she was fairly calm about it until it lasted more than a minute which she said we should probably goto the safe house which was outside and around the house.  We exited the house and took off around the back of her house, it was really hard to walk with the land moving in crazy strong ways.

About half way there the shakes stopped and I jumped off the path onto the road to check the nearby roads, silt/sand started coming up out of the road and water pipes were leaking everywhere.  There was a civil defense van coming down the road and sirens coming from all directions, I looked over at my car and decided I better get in it and drive to my house to check on it.

When I got in my car my girlfriend appeared, the feeling of relief I had of seeing her face was just amazing.  It was a really kind of "True Love" feeling, we took off and the journey between there and my house took a matter of 5 seconds in which the dream went almost instantly to my house.

Arriving at my house it was slightly different, I can try make a sketch which I'll try upload later.  But the left hand side of my house had collapsed, this was a 3 story brick house that was fairly long, the right side of the house was fine but the other parts were completely damaged.  As I entered the house there was a manhole above the stairs to the first floor, I decided to have a look and to my amazement it was the landlords hidden items in a room that had appeared after this earthquake.  (In reality the landlord has a room in the house locked away storing some of his belongings).  I remember their being a model train setup on a big table in the middle of the room and a whole collection of old toys on the walls then there was all kinds of olden dark wooden furniture.

I went back down the manhole to get my girlfriend to come up and look...at this point the dream ended.

I hope my dreams aren't getting boring guys, let me know what you think :)

Camp Cottage

The following dream hasn't been as exciting as past ones that I've had but I thought I'd still put it out there anyway.

I'm still not dreaming properly as my sleeping pattern has gone completely out from going to bed late when spending time with friends from the weekend...sorry guys but life overrules :)



--Dream--

The first part I can remember I was at a camp (my girlfriends parents run a camp four times a year), I presumed it was the same place as there were familiar faces around with children.  The building I started off in was in a rectangle shape cut off half way with that room being a kind of open hall like room with kids drawings and craft work on the walls.

The second half had a kitchen with metal benches and a window looking outside, south of the kitchen was a dining area where there were a few people sitting around talking.  I walked around for a bit and talked to a few people, I can't recall the exact conversations.

Back out in the main empty hall there was a door with steps going outside to some cabins that were about 5m away from the main camping building, the cabins were small square buildings green painted with corrugated iron roofing (sounds like they look like crap but really they didn't).  There were some people outside one which were having a conversation about me which made me feel uncomfortable so I decided to go back inside and headed for the kitchen.

When I got to the kitchen my girlfriend was there and I was telling here that I was leaving because of what these people had been saying and talking about, she tried to convince me otherwise.  Suddenly the others came in and told me that no I HAD to stay and couldn't leave this area for some reason.  Me being the stubborn person that I am told them to "F" off to say the least and left out a back door that was outside the kitchen.

This area south of the main building was surrounded with a nice garden kind of waving around the building supported by an edge of rocks and mulch/bark.  I saw one of my friends coming from the west who was going to help me escape, as he caught up with me I looked to the east to see the entrance/exit of the camp which was surrounded by trees either side with a gravel road going down the middle.

Suddenly from there people came on choppers (bikes) to try stop me from leaving, they were trying to be all tough and intimidating which I found hilarious at the time.  I looked at my friend and tried to decide what to do in this situation so I turned around and looked, to the south appeared a large river with a bridge going over it.

We decided this was the best escape the went over the bridge, the river went downstream into a lake surrounded by massive trees, there was also green grass all around us too.  On the other side of the bridge was a path that lead upwards onto a small hilly area to a house, the path had light stones on it and to the side tussocks with a mixture of flowers and all sorts.

Arriving at the house the entrance had a massive tree/bush laying across the top of it which was quite attractive.  I knocked on the door and hoped someone was there as the others were chasing us and crossing the bridge but didn't see us go around near the house....well the house was more a cottage.  An old lady answered the door and let us in.

I can't really describe the detail of the cottage inside but i'll try my best, everything inside of it was old looking but in pristine condition, the walls were dark logs mixed with varnished dark brown wood, the floors had rugs, the table was carved and the mugs and everything were made of clay.

I asked the lady if she had somewhere we could hide and she hid us in a room somewhere in the house, this is where the dream ended.  I woke up to find myself wondering about this lady and how she appeared in my dream.

At this point I really wish I could draw or be an artist :)

Weekend Dreaming

Hey guys, sorry about not posting much over the weekends. I've decided I'll take a break as I usually go out and do things with the friends on the weekends and end up staying up late and not sleeping properly = not really feasible dreams or anything of the sort.

I'm currently writing a few of my older ones which I'll post soon, be prepared for a week of awesome dreams guys. If anyone wants more information on any dreams or any help with anything feel free to email me @ bloggingwolf@gmail.com

I'll leave you guys with a cool wallpaper to checkout :)

Angled Wave

Following dream took place about two years ago but I remember it vividly, It only really comprises of one part but in the first I died.

First thing I remember was being in a certain area of my city (Ferrymead, Christchurch) to be exact. It was daytime and I was doing some shopping at a nearby boat store (I'm not rich in reality so I have no idea what I was doing in search of a boat). After sticking around for a while I decided to walk outside, then get in a van which I had at the time.

The sky was blue with a few clouds about, a nice sunny day just perfect all around. The van was parked in a empty lot, maybe approximately 600m2 (The area now is a small shopping centre). As I got in the Van I saw a massive mushroom cloud from what would've been a nuclear bomb going off just outside the city.

I wasn't sure what to do...would I run? or try drive off? Either way I thought I was going to die. I ended up getting out of the van and just running to a certain point then turning around looking at the blastwave. As it hit me everything went blank as if I died.

When I opened my eyes or awoke into this new world I was surrounded by trees and cliffs in a small narrow canyon kind of area. As I wandered further into the canyon I came into a big open area with platforms at all different angles, there were also houses surrounding these platforms all funny shaped buildings joined together at 90 degree angles and all sorts of different angles. It was very strange.

Sorry for the short dream but thats the most memorable one of that year. I'll add more details later I'm just in a rush at the moment.
