5-21-2013 | Dream Fragments | CW’s Submarine Sandwich | A Spartacus Inspired Dream With Blue T-Shirts

I barely remember part of the end of two dreams from last night, with the first dream taking place in a modern school/college-like cafeteria building with a tall roof/ceiling like a gym; and I was there to get something to eat/drink, I am guessing that I was a student, and there were other students there.

I remember eating what might have been two submarine sandwiches or parts of one, it was something with vegetables & a meat & a grain, and I might have had some fruit as well as some water.

I am not sure if I talked with anyone as I sat in the cafeteria or not, I just know that I ate & drank, and that I was full; and then I put up my tray, and I started walking toward the entrance/exit as students came & left & talked et cetera.

I had someone/something on my mind, I think that I had thought of a woman and/or trying to find a woman to date/eventually marry but I am not sure, and as I was walking toward the entrance/exit I saw my former classmate CW who I used to like back in high school walking into the cafeteria.

I was surprised to see her and I stopped walking briefly shocked, and to my surprise I still had feelings for her after all these years; and so I took a moment to try to ignore/stop the feelings, and try to walk by her only saying hello or trying to avoid her seeing me.

I was shocked/confused/uncomfortable and still feeling some of the same feelings I used to feel toward CW, from the moment I first met her back in high school on the first day of business computer class or whatever it was called back then, and I guess you could call it love at first sight or something like that (the feelings are hard to describe but when I first saw her back then I felt that I knew her somehow, I wanted to get to know her better, and I was attracted to her in a non-sexual/non-lustful way that did not make sense to me then or even now).

CW saw me and she greeted me, I greeted her back and I tried to escape to avoid her & my feelings for her, but she stopped me; and she had a submarine sandwich in her hands that she said that she made herself, and she wanted me to taste it to get my opinion of her recipe.

I told her that I was full and could not, and that there were plenty of other people in the cafeteria who could test her recipe; and then I tried to escape again, but she stood in my way saying that she wanted me to test her recipe since she knew me & knew that I would tell the truth.

I tried to find a way to talk her out of it and escape but I could not, and so I agreed to try her recipe; and then I tasted her submarine sandwich, and I could actually taste it in the dream & it was somewhat bland/plain & needed some improvement(s) & so I told her this.

She was encouraged since this was her first time making this recipe, she knew that she could improve it more, and she thanked me for telling her the truth; and I said that she was welcome, and I tried to escape again but she stopped me again by making a statement & asking me a question.

She said that she remembered me and she reminded me of how I had told/emailed her that I liked her after about two years of building the courage to do so & of getting to know her better, and she asked me if I still had feelings for her; and I avoided answering her question at first.

She then said that she knows someone who might have feelings for me, I told her not to play around/tease me, and I reminded her that back then she rejected me/my feelings since she liked me only as a friend; and that it was not nice to do this to me, playing games with people’s feelings/getting people’s hopes up.

She then told me that she might have feelings for me now, and she wondered if I would give her another chance; and we could see what happens.

I told her that it took me the rest of my high school years to get over her rejecting me back then, and that I thought that I finally gotten rid of my feelings for her long ago; and I asked her if she really wanted to put me through that again, and I mentioned the woman who I might have thought of earlier in the dream and/or my current plans to find a girlfriend/future wife to finally move forward/on.

I told her that I would not lie, that to my surprise I still do have feelings for her, and I paused to try to decide what to do; and then I told her that I would consider giving her another chance, and we could see what happens this time but I woke up.

I only remember part of the end of the second dream and so it does not make much sense, I just remember that it was inspired by the Starz TV series Spartacus, and it took place during the day in a slightly fictional version of D; and I was with a group of people like Spartacus and his people (slaves, gladiators, et cetera), but I doubt that we were traditional slaves or gladiators since this dream took place during our current time period it seemed.

We all had blue colored t-shirts with white colored lettering and/or symbols, something happened and we were attacked by the police I think, and we had a battle with us probably fighting with hand-to-hand combat mostly; and then we spit up our group to escape the police/whoever, since there were too many of them.

It seemed that we had done nothing wrong and the police/whoever had attacked us, to stop our group/revolution/whatever, and I remember running with my former classmate DS & a weak-looking young man; and we ran toward a slightly fictional version of the D Junior High School that is sometimes in my dreams.

Our plan was to sneak through the school building, sneak outside to the school field, sneak through the woods, and reach a location where we would meet up with the rest of our group that escaped; and so we went through the school building as school was still going on with students around the inside, and then we went into the school field where one of the school sports team was practicing.

I noticed that the players were wearing blue colored t-shirts as well but the lettering & symbols were for their school, we walked past them, but the weak-looking young man with us accidentally got in the way of one of the players; and the player got mad, the young man apologized, but the player tried to attack him after yelling at him.

I was afraid that we would blow our cover but I was angry at the player for being so mean, and so I stopped him from attacking the young man; and I told him that he was sorry for getting in his way, but the player still wanted to fight.

I was very angry at this point and the player tried to attack, but I did a take-down knocking him to the ground; and I stood there warning him to stop or I was going to beat him up, this shocked him/scared him, but he still taunted us but he did not try to attack us again.

We then walked off to escape in the woods, but I woke up.

The end,

5-14-2013 | Dream Fragments | A Deadman Wonderland Inspired Dream

Posted on by
The principal characters of Deadman Wonderland...

I barely remember part of two dreams from last night, with the first dream probably taking place at a tall multi-story hotel where my family and I were staying at during a vacation, but that is all that I can remember.

The second dream seemed to be inspired by the Japanese animated TV series Deadman Wonderland, and I think that I went undercover with several agents/detectives (male & female probably) from various law enforcement/intelligence agencies into a private prison similar to the one in Deadman Wonderland; and we pretended to be prisoners, while doing our undercover investigation, and while trying to stay alive & avoid our cover being blown.

What we were doing was risky, we could be killed by other prisoners and/or the private prison workers, and so no one else could know who we really were & why we were really there in the prison & that we were not really prisoners.

The dream probably took place over several days with the other undercover agents and I trying to blend in with the other prisoners, and trying to stay alive; and slowly we would start taking risks to investigate whatever we were there to investigate, my guess it that we were there to find the secret part of the prison like G Block on Deadman Wonderland, and to report crimes being committed by the prison workers (murder, torture, theft, maybe rape, et cetera).

I remember the other undercover agents and I trying to stay/stick together, we shared a room/cell with several beds with some other prisoners probably, and I remember us talking each day & having small meetings about our investigation; but that is all that I can remember.

The end,

4-12-2013 | Dream Fragments | My Uncle ME Leading A Trip To A Familiar Facility Near Snowy Mountains On Another Planet/Dream World | Hanging With Dashie At My Grandfather’s House

Posted on by
English: Starry Night at Mount Everest. Camps ...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

My first dream was an interesting and clear dream that returned me to a planet and dream world that I have dreamed of before several times in the past, but someone in the real world being annoying by making noise & turning on the brightest lights in the bedroom woke me up right when the dream was about to get even more interesting; and so my dream was interrupted at an important part, and my memory of the beginning of the dream was messed up/forgotten because of being awakened abruptly.

It was an amazing dream while it lasted because it was clear/realistic in some ways and it was familiar with a futuristic/science fiction twist to it that might have been slightly inspired by the video game Mass Effect 3.

The planet and dream world in the dream is/was much smaller than Earth, it is small enough to where you could explore the entire planet by yourself in minutes or an hour probably, and it is a mostly empty planet when it comes to animal & even plant life but there are some alien animals/creatures on the planet; and sometimes there are a few beings who can communicate with me and whoever is in the dream with me, who are usually found sometimes at or near a somewhat hidden facility near a snowy mountain area.

In past dreams there is sometimes a threat that I and/or several people are running from either on foot or by boat or by plane or by jumping very high or by being able to fly somehow, and we usually escape through the snowy mountain area to reach the facility & the threat usually does not follow us there or know where we are; and sometimes in dreams I go to this facility to explore, but there is almost always some threats in the facility like zombies or other creatures or various types of beings but sometimes there is one or more friendly beings there that help or at least do not attack me/us (I had one possible memory of coming across an alien humanoid being in the facility and he was wounded and/or got wounded at some point, and he looked a bit like the Drell from Mass Effect 2 maybe).

This planet and dream world has a unique feeling to it, it feels different from Earth, and being there feels realistic & strange; sometimes you can feel the temperature & weather effects/affects, several parts of the planet have different types of weather like a dessert/a snowy area/water areas/et cetera, the path to the facility is always familiar & about the same so I usually know where to go, et cetera.

In this dream it seemed that my uncle ME or a man who looked just like him was now a spaceship driver, he had a spaceship that was similar to the Ut-47 Kodiak Drop Shuttle combined with a tiny version of The Normandy SR-2 spaceship or a passenger plane, and it was shaped more like a Kodiak Drop Shuttle but there were passenger windows so that you could view the outside; and the inside was more like a passenger airplane with a few rows of seats, bathrooms, a few tiny rooms for other things, and the pilot/captain’s room at the front.

My uncle ME was the captain of the spaceship and he wanted to make a trip to the planet and dream world where the facility was so that he could get some things at the facility (maybe some artifacts/objects/information/et cetera and/or some small alien animals that could be sold as pets and/or something else unknown) I think, he had never been to the facility it seemed, but I had been there several times before in the past; and so I told him how to get there, and he formed a team of people to travel there & I joined the team.

I told him that it was dangerous and that we needed weapons, armor, and everyone should get basic military/survival/et cetera training before leaving for the mission; and my uncle ME convinced me that he would do those things & he even showed me a futuristic energy weapon that probably could also be used as a blunt weapon which he was supposedly going to give to each team member, and one day it was time to leave for the trip.

The team was the largest team that I had ever traveled with to this planet and dream world and facility, but they were mostly young adults who seemed to have almost no experience or training like they had just graduated from high school and/or were still in high school; but they were wearing light grayish & whitish colored long sleeve futuristic shirts & pants that were uniforms that reminded me of something from Star Trek or something, and so that made it seem like they had finished basic training but I still felt that was not likely.

There was another adult like me besides my uncle ME, there was a woman with light brownish colored skin with almost shoulder length frizzy/curly dry toasty brownish colored hair, and she seemed to be the my uncle ME’s second or third in command and/or maybe even his daughter but I never thought of her as my cousin so I doubt that she was his daughter even though it almost seemed like she was; and I remember talking with her a lot since she was older like me and she seemed to have some experience compared to the young adults.

I am not sure if our spaceship was flying through space or not, but it seemed like it since I remember seeing only black & stars out of my window during most of the trip which was amazing & realistic; and there was a very interesting feeling like you were really in space traveling to another planet and dream world, and I forgot to mention that our team had probably twenty-something or more people in it.

The outside was quiet like space would be, I remember two groups of the team having a competition that might have involved virtual reality or something like that, and I joined the team with the woman on it; but this part if very unclear since I got awakened, but I remember near the end of the competition my team separated ourselves into balls of energy/light and probably the other team.

My team’s plan was to move around as balls of energy/light in random patterns to avoid the other team from being able to lock-on to us and/or catch and/or see us, and this was working; but then a warning alarm on the spaceship forced us to switch back to normal reality, my uncle ME was sleep & the spaceship was on auto-pilot I guess, and it seemed that the auto-pilot had shut-off due to turbulence or something like that.

The spaceship started shaking and it started to spin in circles like a helicopter that is out-of-control, this was scary and realistic, and we yelled for my uncle ME to wake up; and he woke up and he started trying to regain control of the spaceship, and I remember looking out of the window when I saw something amazing & scary.

In the darkness (this happened during the night) barely visible from the lights on the spaceship I saw a large multi-story bluish colored building with a lot of windows that looked like a housing building but there were no lights & no sign of life, I yelled to my uncle ME about the building & he saw it just in time to stop us from crashing into it, and then we hovered slowly past it; and this was a magical & amazing moment looking at this large building with many windows either on top of water or on land, and I recognized this building from past dreams of this planet & world.

I do not think that I have ever explored this building before since it seems too scary & risky to explore, and there is no clear entrance for the building possibly; I remember the rest of the team and I watching the building in awe as we slowly passed it, and I told my uncle ME that the snowy mountain area was next to it & that we had to fly over it to reach the facility.

My uncle ME said okay and that he could find the facility probably using the map that he made earlier when I described how to reach the facility, this building and the snowy mountain area are clear landmarks letting you know that you were near the facility, and we flew to the facility which is hidden on the other side of the snowy mountain area & we landed.

The facility has an above ground area that is several stories tall but the entrance is at the top floor that has to be reached by a stairway or walkway and it is the only floor with windows, so we could see lights from the top floor & we could see into the top floor, and there are many other floors deep underground.

This facility has museum areas that shows objects & information about various cultures/species on some of the floors, and various other things & area on some floors; and this facility & planet & world really feel & seem like a real place & it does not feel like a dream world made by my mind, especially after dreaming of it several times over the years & it is always familiar but it also has other strange feelings associated with it like you are really on another planet and dream world.

Anyway, the team started to get off of the spaceship excited like kids on a field trip, but I noticed that none of the had weapons or armor; and so I started asking my uncle ME where were the weapons & armor, since this facility is dangerous, and we could expect serious life & death situations like I had already explained.

He told me to relax and ignored answering my questions, I told the woman to talk with him because most or all of us could die without weapons & armor, and it seemed that none of the young adults really had training or experience; and so they probably would not survive the life & death situations that we were likely to face.

I was afraid/worried/angry because we all could die and my uncle ME had lied to me putting everyone’s life at risk, this facility might seem harmless but it usually had threats that you would be lucky to survive long enough to escape, so this was a place that should only be explored by experienced & trained people who have experienced life & death situations & who were ready to fight for their lives; or you would probably get destroyed.

We all were now unarmed and unarmored, almost everyone on the team had no training or experience, so I expected that most or all of us would die; I thought about not going inside the facility but they would not stand a chance without me, and so I decided to follow them as they walked up the walkway.

I kept trying to warn them and the woman tried to talk to my uncle ME without luck, and then I started talking with her about the situation as I tried to figure out how we could survive if we came across the usual dangerous threats inside the facility; but I got awakened by someone being annoying in the real world before we reached the entrance of the facility on the top floor.

My second dream took place at a slightly fictional version of my grandfather’s house & yard, and I was hanging out with Dashie from YouTube; and at some point Dashie showed me how to add one ability/power to objects like trashcans for making YouTube videos.

You could only add one ability/power per trashcan or object and some of the abilities/powers were: to make the trashcan very heavy so that it would be hard to knock over, to make the trashcan very durable so that it was hard to break, to make the trashcan able to deflect objects thrown at it, and a few other powers/abilities.

At some point he walked off to make his own YouTube video, then I started using the advice Dashie gave me to add powers/abilites to trashcans, and I made my YouTube video; and then Joey & Aaron from YouTube came to hang out with Dashie but he was still recording his video, and so we talked outside in my grandfather’s yard until Dashie was finished.

Dashie then showed us his YouTube video and then I showed them my YouTube video, they were impressed by my video, and then they commented & liked my video & recommended it to some other people to support me; and then they left at some point; and then I went into my grandfather’s laundry building to wash and/or dry some of his clothes, and then a tall man with medium-dark brownish colored skin with short black colored hair walked in to my surprise & he greeted me.

I had no idea who he was but I assumed that maybe he was an indirect family member of mine who(m) I never met before, he asked me if I knew how to contact my cousin ME, so this man was not a family member of mine; and he said that he was a friend of my cousin ME but he had not heard from my cousin ME in a while, so I told him that I think that my cousin ME now lived in T but that I did not know how to contact him except that he could probably contact him on Fakebook (Facebook).

I told the man that I did not have a Fakebook/Facebook account but that my cousin ME did have one when I last had an account, I gave the man the correct spelling of my cousin ME’s name, and he thanked me & he left; and I woke up shortly after this part.

The end,

4-11-2013 | Dream Fragments | Anna Kendrick Encouraging A Girl To Make A Film | Pretending To Work At A Medical Clinic

Posted on by
English: Anna Kendrick at the 2009 Toronto Int...

(Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I barely remember part of two dreams from last night, I had more dreams and there were more details to these dreams, but I forgot them.

The first dream took place during a nice day in a fictional area outside near a small indoor/outdoor market, I would walk through this area and through the market each day to get to wherever I was going, and I would often see a small girl with light brownish colored skin with short brownish colored hair walking the same route & she would stop at the market often.

There were always other people around but she stood out compared to the other people, one day as I was walking near the area outside of the market I saw the actress Anna Kendrick talking with the small girl, and she was talking about how creative the girl was & that she should make that film that she has wanted to make.

Mrs. Kendrick and the girl had worked together in the past it seemed, so Mrs. Kendrick wanted to be part of the girl’s film project, but the girl did not think that they would be able to get anyone to fund their film project; but Mrs. Kendrick felt that they both had earned enough influence/connections from their past work to get the funding/resources for her film project & Mrs. Kendrick was saying a lot positive things to help encourage the girl, but the girl still was not confident about the idea, but she said that she would think about it.

The conversation ended and/or I kept walking, and there was a short narration along with short scenes shown from the girl’s life I think where a brief history of the girl was mentioned/shown: she was from a poor/lower-class single parent family being raised by her mom I think, she was very creative & had contributed various ideas to various film projects in her short life, and she liked a dessert (I saw it from a distance so I could not see it very well but it was a tan color like a fortune cookie & it might have had a similar texture as a fortune cookie and/or it was softer with maybe whip cream-like stuff inside of it) that she would often get at the market that had a French sounding name that might have sounded a bit like how I think that the French word cicatrices is pronounced “sic-actriss” (which is probably incorrect).

After the narration and scenes about the girl finished I decided to walk to the market to try that dessert that she liked, since it seemed interesting, and so I stood in line since the store was busy; and this store was owned by an obese woman with dark brownish colored skin with black colored hair wearing a head-cover to help prevent hair from falling into food, and she had one female employee working with her.

At some point it was my turn and I asked for the dessert, there was only one left, and then the owner told me that it cost $8:Something; and I was shocked by the price and I asked her if there was a mistake, she said there was no mistake & that was the price, and so I asked if I could cancel this purchase/order since I had not paid yet but she said that I could not.

I did not take no for an answer, I asked her again to cancel the order/purchase and I said a few other things hoping that she would change her mind, and then she finally let me cancel the order/purchase; and I thanked her, and I walked off.

I walked across the street from the market to a neighborhood that led to a fictional house where my family lived, the house was nicer than our real house but it was not much bigger at first, but the back of the house was connected to a very large room/building that was like a library/warehouse/house; and this part of the house was bigger than the rest of the house combined with our real house, and it looked very nice.

My mom was across the room which had bookshelves/shelves dividing various areas for extra privacy, there were many seats & small tables to study and/or eat at et cetera; and I started talking to my mom, and at some point I sat down to enjoy this huge room which I hoped to spend a lot of time in.

Something weird happened but I am not sure if this part happened before the weird part, maybe the girl from earlier was now an adult who now looked a bit like a better looking version of Alma Walker from the TV show American Horror Story: Asylum and I found out that she was my sister & maybe she walked into this huge room but I am not sure, either way I went to sleep or something strange happened to me in this dream; and I had a dream within a dream where I was still in this room, and I felt drugged or weird where my vision & senses were a bit messed up/off-balance.

I could not see straight or walk straight & it felt & looked like the room was moving a bit like I was under the influence of a drug & there was a haze to the room that might have been a bit like a light purple colored haze/smoke/fog, oddly I was naked, and across the huge room was my fictional sister who was also naked; and we both felt drawn/attracted to each other in a strange hard to describe way, even though we were brother & sister, and I remember trying to make sense of this feeling and/or fight it but I could not think straight since I felt drugged/messed up.

We both kept walking toward each other and then we hugged each other, and we laid on the floor holding each other; and I remember thinking what in the world is going on/what are you doing/that is your sister a few times but my thoughts kept getting stopped by the drug-like haze & effects/affects.

Fortunately we did not kiss or anything, we just laid/lay there naked and since I could not fight the drug haze/effects/affects, I woke myself up from the dream within a dream; and I woke back up in the first dream still in the huge room, I remember thinking/wondering what in the world just happened & why did I have a dream like that, and my fictional sister was in the room.

I started to tell her about my dream, but I woke up.

The next dream is unclear in the beginning but I remember being with a group of people who(m) I knew like my former classmate JC & several other people, and we drove to a medical clinic that looked a bit like a grocery store or a Walmart inside; but I had no idea why we went there since I was just following the others, and we went to the first medical office to the right near the entrance/exit & this office was long & narrow.

The office had a waiting room on the left side with the front desk on the right side and there were other rooms with dividing walls but no doors so you could walk past & through each room down one hallway, and most or all the doctors/nurses/assistants were gone; but there were a few people waiting in the waiting room.

The other people with me probably found some doctor & nurse/assistant uniforms, and they started working/helping people as doctors/nurses/assistants; I was not sure if they were volunteering or what, so I played along, and I started helping as an assistant; helping with paper work, doing stuff in the background in the other rooms, and sometimes helping people in the waiting room.

At the end/back of the office was an opening with no door like all the other rooms in the office, it led to another office, and this office seemed to be an office that handled the records & other stuff maybe for the entire medical clinic; so there were only a few female workers in this office, which was a separate office from the one that we were in, and no patients were in their office since they did not seem to be nurses or doctors.

I went in this office a few times in the dream and briefly talked with some of the workers there, but I spent most of my time helping in the other office; and surprisingly more & more people came for medical help, and the others with me seemed to have started this as a joke & were pretending to be doctors/nurses/assistants.

More people came than they expected and they started to get worried, I got worried now that I realized that they were pretending and so now I feared someone getting incorrect medical advice and us getting arrested for pretending to be employees at the medical clinic, but no one knew yet so we had a chance to leave; I remember helping one old woman, who was a patient, find some medical paperwork in the office & she wanted me to make copies of it for her.

I went to make copies but some of the real doctors, nurses, and assistants started to arrive to the office; and so the others started to sneak away before someone realized that they were pretenders, but I wanted to finish helping the old woman first.

I went to let the others know that I would try to leave once I finish making the copies for the old woman, so they left without me, and now I was at risk of being caught; but surprisingly the real doctors/nurses/assistants did not seem to notice, and one of the nurses or assistants was my former classmate A.

I walked back to the copy machine where I left the medical records of the old woman but they were gone, I walked around looking for them and asking the other real workers if they had seen them, and I even went into the other office to ask them; but I could not find them, but I kept trying.

I decided to ask A to help the old woman, I told the old woman about the situation, and then I left the office before someone realized that I was not supposed to be there; but I feared that the next day someone would wonder why we did not return to work and then they would realize that we had been there illegally, and they would probably call the police to investigate & find us.

I worried about possible video footage, finger prints & other physical evidence, eye witnesses, et cetera; and I did not want to go to jail over something that I accidentally became part of without knowing at first.

I walked outside to a field that looked like the area in front of PW Elementary School, it was a nice day outside, and I saw some people sitting at desks under a tree; and in the field were some people playing American football, and some people playing soccer/football.

I came up with an idea to go to the human resources office in the medical clinic to see if I/the others could volunteer, if they said yes, then I/we would come back the next day to volunteer; and then that would prevent the real doctors/nurses/assistants & patients from earlier from thinking that we had been there illegally, and then they would assume that we had volunteered that day as well.

I decided to talk to the people sitting in desks under the tree first, they seemed to be having class to get their certifications to work in the medical clinic, and my former classmate TS was one of them; and so I asked them some questions about the medical clinic, trying to learn as much as I could to help me with my situation, and then I said goodbye & started walking back toward the hospital to try my idea.

One of the people playing soccer accidentally kicked a soccer ball in my direction so I stopped it with my feet, I stood on top of the ball with one foot while leaning forward balancing myself as I rolled a few inches without falling to show off my skills,  and then I kicked the ball back to them without looking for dramatic effect/affect; and I felt pretty cool after doing that. :D

Then one of the people playing American football, my former classmate KC, accidentally threw a football near me; and so I picked it up, I pointed for KC to go long/run further back so that I could kick the football to him since I can not throw a football very well but I can kick one pretty good, KC started running & another man started running who was going to try to intercept/catch the ball as well, I dropped the ball to kick it but I let it drop to the ground without kicking it because my shirt & pants were getting in the way of me kicking it.

I stopped to adjust my clothes but they still did not feel correct and they were preventing me from kicking properly, but I woke up as I was trying to fix my clothing problem.

The end,

-John Jr
