Wednesday's Dream Log

Today's dream was interesting.

Dream 1

I was walking down a strip mall sidewalk with my mom and looking at all the shops. I didn't see anything that really interested me. My mom directed me to a restaurant and we went inside. There was a huge circular table that was set up for a large dining party. Many of my family members came to sit down and eat with my mom and I. We shared our day's events and started planning for tomorrows events. Everyone was laughing and having a great time. My grandma (now deceased) came over and I gave her a hug. I saw that she had bandages on her head and looked just like I remembered her when she was in the hospital (which was not a good sight). I left the restaurant with my mom and dad. As I exited the building I saw some other buildings of in the distance. They were pyramids! Huge pyramids. I also saw that there was a bridge (made of ropes) between them and that people were crossing from the right pyramid and entering the left pyramid.

What made this dream so interesting was that today in NewM-201 lecture Steve showed us a picture of a cover of 1984 by Goerge Orwell, in the background of the picture were two pyramids that looked exactly like the ones in my dream!

Sunday's Dream Log

Dream 1

I was walking around in an old house from my RL childhood. Most of the rooms of the house were dark. There were two other guys with me and we decided to venture out and explore the next room. The furniture was huge, as if a giant lived there. With help from the others I was able to climb on top of a piece of furniture to see if there was anything above the darkness. There were platforms above the darkness, but they didn't go anywhere.

Dream 2

I was in school and class had just finished. I lifted by book bag and it weighed 50-60 lbs. (This isn't too much of an exaggeration on tuesdays & thursdays in RL) I carried it along the hallway and headed for the doors. The hallways were crowded with students, but I managed to get through relatively easily. I opened the double doors and walked out of the building. A guy I passed said, "Wouldn't it be easier to carry a smaller bag?". I kept on walking.

Dream 3

I was a character in a virtual reality video game. The humans side (on which I was happy to be participating) was casually sieging a fortress held by the fantasy creatures ( although they looked the same as humans ). One side was red and the other blue. The fortress was surrounded by a moat and the red team was stationed on a hill. Neither side had an advantage. I was on the hill walking down to the moat to get a better position when the Blue team came out of the fortress and attacked the red. A beautiful elf fairy princess flew over and killed the human beside me. I had a sword and so I counter attacked. We fought for a long time. My sword had no effect on her and her little chinese stars were easily dodged. Finally, I did the only thing I could think of. I tackled her and kissed her. Trumpets sounded and suddenly she got up and stood by my side. All the fairy people of her clan switched sides and joined with the humans. I was now the King of her people and she was my queen. I just stood there dumbstruck. What a lucky turn of events.

Saturday's Dream Log

Dream 1

I had just left a furniture store because the saleswomen were extremely rude. Two lawyers who were friends of mine also followed me out of the store. There was a wheelchair poised to be driven out of the store but there was a lot of furniture in its way. Just in case some handicapped person needed to get out the store I decided to clear a way for them. The attendants just turned up their noses and mocked me. My friends and I paid no attention to them as we cleared the way. Once we were finished we left the store.

Dream 2

I was riding in a helicopter. The passengers and I were looking out over the land below us and saw a huge wheats fields. The helicopter continued to circle around and suddenly I noticed that the ground had turned to sand and ash. I could see that there was a military air strip below us with hundreds of planes. We needed those planes for some reason! The helicopter landed and I realized that I was armed with an AR-15 rifle. The other passengers were armed similarly and we began to assault the airfield. My team ran in amongst the planes and quietly dispatched enemy machines/terminators. One man in front fell to sniper fire and I tried to get a shot at something on top of a water tower off in the distance. As we approached the inner part of the compound the ground became water and we had to swim our way to the central building. A machine with a yellow helmet popped up and took a shot at a girl in front of me. The machine missed and she responded by throwing a grenade into the water. After the huge explosion I went over to check out the damage. The terminator popped up again and we exchanged fire. I was hit in the neck and sank to the bottom of the water. The terminator was hit in the eye. After a moment I came to the surface motioned the squad to continue forward. There were more snipers on the water tower now and we couldn't move. I took aim but couldn't get a shot. I motioned the squad to get to the objective as I ran forward and jump on the walk ramp to get to the top. I saw a terminator coming down and tried to fire at it. I was out of ammo. I leaped off the ramp of reloaded my gun dodging fire as I hit the ground. I came up on one knee and fired at the terminator who was almost on top of me. I emptied an entire clip into it and it fell. But their was another on behind it! I ran straight to the objective and the terminator was chasing me. I yelled, "The heat! Bring the heat!" and my squad mates grabbed whatever they could and ran to take on the terminator. Most of us were now out of ammo and so we fought the machine hand to hand. I grabbed a huge 4ft wrench and swung it like a broadsword. The terminator finally went down and we cheered.

Dream 3

I was in a hurry to transport two cars to someone, but I had to transport both of them at the same time. One car was a 1950's light blue convertible and the other was my usual car that I drive everyday. I rigged the convertible to just drive by turning it on and wedging something on the gas peddle. I figured that I would just follow the car and catch up to it when it was time to stop. I pointed it on the highway and let go. The car sped off down the highway and for a while it was easy to follow. Suddenly, traffic appeared on the highway and I got worried that the car might run into someone and cause an accident. The convertible was now racing down the highway and there were also a lot of other cars driving on the highway. I now lost track of the car every so often as it swerved wildly between cars. I had the peddle to the metal now and the convertible was still slipping away. "Oh great." I said as the car went out of sight. I caught a glimpse of light blue careening of to the right somewhere up the highway. I was going too fast to slow down so I just swerved off to the right in almost the same place. The car had gone through a field of tall wheat and was resting their now. I saw my mom standing by my car and she told me that the convertible was all banged up from the trip. I turned off my car and got out. I was walking over to the convertible and noticed that a man was getting out! He ran in to a red barn and my mom and I followed him. He had a gun and shot at us as we got closer to him. He went into some part of the barn that had computer circuitry. I realized that there was an ancient computer in there and he was accessing it. "Look we're not here to hurt you. We just want to know what you're doing." The man stopped shooting and we struck a truce. He said to he opening a gateway to fix something. We followed and went into a gigantic computer mind. I became lucid and realized that I was dreaming. There was an entourage of people now and I saw one of them was uneasy about being in the mind. So I gave him a pen and told him to mark his way so he could find his way out if he got lost. The man who had been driving the convertible asked my if I wanted to go to a higher plane of consciousness. I said, "Sure, sounds like fun." He walked through a glowing open door. You couldn't actually see what was on the other side because the very fabric of space on the other side was a translucent white. It would be like walking through a cloud. I stepped through the door and felt an electric shock run through my entire body. I was propelled backwards and skidded on the ground. I hit a pillar in the previous room and just laid there. I was paralyzed, yet my mind was still working. I was laughing at myself thinking, "Hmm, must not be ready for the next level on consciousness!"
