Sean's (Jason) Dream - 11/12/10 *lucid

11 November, 2010
I've been editing episode V for the past week and most of my dreams have been somewhere in the editing hell. Sometimes I feel like I'm scrubbing through footage at a very slow rate, or looking at the same cuts over and over and over again. It's like a mental prison until I finish editing. Which is why I work in such fast bursts most of the time. Dive in, grab the treasure, and get the fuck out!

That being said today after a pleasant mid day shower I decided to lay down. Not exactly for the purpose of gaining Lucidity, but just to relax.

At some point I fell asleep and this is what I remember:

I'm standing on a huge cliff. On a road or something. Cody is near by. I don't think anything in particular makes me aware of that I'm not in my body. I simply realize it. Everything is still a little bit fuzzy, not a pure lucid state. I decide that I want to jump off the cliff and fly, but I hesitate. I remind myself that I have to have faith and not hesitate. This gives me the courage to jump. Sadly I don't fly and simply fall into the water. I'm very nervous swimming because I don't know what's in the water with me, but I again remind myself I have at least some level of control and I should be fine. I am able to swim and slowly start rising out of the water. I am able to fly and go somewhere I don't remember.

All in all a decent lucid experience, nothing profound or adventurous. I find it interesting I've been in nature environments lately in my dreams. I'm usually such a city dweller. Maybe I just need to get out more.

Sean's (Jason) Dream - 11/07/10

07 November, 2010
I'm really glad I'm forcing myself to write down this dream right now.

I woke up earlier in the day in order to work with my boss, but he was running late so I laid down and went back to bed on my couch.

"I'm asleep on the couch when a cat starts jumping all over me. It is actually kind of freaking me out. The cat keeps scratching me. I vauguley remember my sister Julian telling my I didn't feed the cat and now it was dying.

Suddenly I'm driving on a road that's on a cliff. It is a swurvy road and the driving makes me very tense and scared. I pull of the road. I run into John Knott (Chris) and he is guarding some kind of energy power plant. He is somehow emitting the energy. He kept bringing up how steep the cliff was, which made me nervous to drive again.

I start slowly climbing some kind of mountain. It's pretty difficult and I'm afraid I'll fall"

Please remember that when recalling a dream you should try and be as free flow as possible. Don't get caught up in what you're writing, nor how you're writing it.

Hopefully More Dreams In The Future,

p.s. work went well.

"Sean I had a fucking dream about you! You got this rad panda tattoo on your arm and it had this letter signed by Zatch (Zach Nelson (Vampire)) on the pandas front side and then the tattoo continued on the back of your arm showing the pandas backside and you stuck a stick in it and it had puss coming out of it!! Hahaha"

Cassidy texted me this dream yesterday and I felt compelled to post it. Maybe I'll get a panda tattoo....

Sean's Dream - July 30th 2010

31 July, 2010
I've had a difficult time remembering my dreams lately. Ironically ever since Lucidity started I think I remember them less! Hopefully once it's all said and done I'll be awarded some kind of super dreaming talent, but until then you only get the strange tidbits I remember.

The past few nights I've been trying to escape from somewhere. Not the same place, but still the common theme of "Get The Fuck Out!" I'll start with my dream I remember from two nights ago.

Dream 1 - July 29th (or something):

I'm in a huge hanger with a bunch of spaceships. There is a battle going on around me. I realize that I have lightsaber (This is a big deal for me. Up until this dream I had no memory of ever using a lightsaber.) I throw the saber at 3 aliens and cut one of their heads off. I remember running and jumping on a ship that was trying to take off so I cut it in half. I was then being shot at. I started to gain awareness of the dream. Never actually reaching lucidity, but I began to question my lightsaber skills and as I did I stopped deflecting bullets and began physically dodging them instead. I tried to be more confident and use the lightsaber more. I could only hit things back when I relaxed. I then woke up.

Dream 2 - July 30th (this morning)

I feel like an ass because I remembered more of this dream when I started this post, but after trying to relive and recall the lightsaber dream I seem to have forgotten more of this one.

All I can remember now is trying to get out of some large school/prison facility. It vaguely reminds me of the vaults in the Fallout game series. I can remember planning to escape behind people's backs. Also just the feeling of people looking at me suspiciously. I eventually did start to run from or to something. It got intense, but sadly I can't really remember anymore.

Dream Advice #1: When writing down or recalling dreams use the present tense. Don't re-member, re-live. And don't be afraid to switch tenses. Try and write as free form as possible. Remember, it isn't an essay and dreams aren't always linear.

I figured I should spread the word on some of the techniques I've picked up during my past year of researching dreams, and this is the first installment. Hope this helps somehow.


DREAM ON!

Dream Journal - 7-4-10 - by Bill

As soon as I woke up I started writing. Remembering dreams is important. Remembering that you are aware you’re dreaming your dreams is even more important. I have total awareness that I was in Episode IV. Now THAT is what is SUPPOSED to happen. Calling Danny (George) I learned that Episode IV is near to being ready to post online. In my fondest of dreams Episode IV is up and people LIKE it.

Oh, and last night we went to a Chinese restaurant, but instead of saying “...in bed!” at the end of reading our fortunes we started saying, “...in your DREAMS!” It was much funnier, and more meaningful to some. Start your path to LUCIDITY and help me deal with what is happening to George & Jason. And if you don’t have your garb yet, BUY IT NOW!!!

Sean's Dream 6/14/2010

14 June, 2010
"I remember a lot of snakes being present. I am very scared. Cody walks out of a room with a snake across his back. When I think of it now it's oddly similar to that sexy Britney Spears dance, but with Cody...and not sexy, just scary. I wake up and still feel like a snake with me. I then see a snake in my bed, it sees me and attacks my face. I wake up again."

For those of you who don't know me I fucking hate snakes. So dreams like these really get under my skin. A couple of my good friends growing up would always threaten to put snakes in my bed, but I want you to know that if you ever do that to me I will stop being your friend. It's not funny, it's cruel.

Away from that for a moment; the false awakening in this dream was rather entertaining. I truly thought I had woken up and the snake being present only made me think it was influencing my dream.

"I'm on a soccer field playing 3 V 3 or something small like that. I remember Kobe Bryant being on my team and a long time friend I used to play soccer with too. Mr friend quit the team before we started playing because he didn't like Kobe. I don't like him either but I try to convince my friend to keep playing. I remember a couple false starts to the game but eventually I think we had to give up. A man I don't really like in real life then came over and gave me a whistle necklace. It took me some time to figure out what it was. He said he thought I did a good job and I should keep trying/"

Overall pretty boring dream. The world wasn't ending, there were no dinosaurs, and I still haven't used a lightsaber in a dream I remember.

"I was in a tall building at ASU when I looked out the window and saw a plane flying towards another tall building. It dropped a bomb and everyone started panicking. I run outside and see another plane drop another bomb on a building. I see Danny and we are both rather calm, not that it isn't terrifying, just that we knew we couldn't run like mad people like everyone else."

That's all that I wrote down this morning. I also vaguely remember a small moment of almost Lucidity. Very real dream.

Danny was once again working in my room while I slept and after I woke up he asked about my dream. For the second time I was attempting to verbally say something. Before I explained the dream to Danny he said he sounded like I tried to scream "Nooo!" Which would make sense considering a bunch of people just died at the hands of bombs.

Fucked up dreams man.

I didn't have a dream that night because I was drunk.

"I slept in really late today. I woke up at 3:33 AM got a drink went back to bed. And again around 10 am. The last dream I had took place between then and 4:00 pm. There is a lot of commotion going on. People running. There is a big screen in front of me that is blue. It's not really in front of me, it is hanging above everybody. I am standing still trying to build electric energy in my hands and body. I stand there a long time doing this. I don't remember if I ever shot the energy or not."

I waited a little longer then I would have liked to write down this dream so most of it is lost for now. I vaguely remember shooting energy at a person entirely made of gold, but I don't know why.

It's strange that I slept so late today because I went to bed at a reasonable time last night for the first time in a long time. I feel as though the charging up in my dream hopefully signifies something in my waking life. I just hope I have to shoot lighting at something in the future.

"I'm standing in front of my computer while Danny is sitting in a chair next to me on his computer. We are talking about something.

Suddenly Danny looks past me and sees something. I too look and an overwhelming sense of fear overtakes me. I know something is right behind the doorway.

Danny and I are frozen with fear. Out of no where a small creature runs through the door, past the couch, and into the bathroom in my room. I know it isn't anything I've seen. The level of terror is increased. But we are still VERY interested in it. We aren't willing to run or try to kill it. I don't remember much more after that."

This was one of the most realistic dreams I've had in a very long time. The honest sense of fear and terror at the unknown was so deep within me.

Last night I went to sleep in my closet while Danny continued working in my room. This morning he let me know that around 4:00 AM for about half an hour I started moaning in my sleep. Not in a sexual manner. I can confirm that I had the dream earlier in the day rather than later because I woke up a few times this morning. So although I can't 100% say that I was having the alien dream during the 4:00 moaning session, I find it very likely they are related.

To bring physical speech back from the dream world while unconscious would suggest something is happening that goes beyond a normal dream. Your brain is bluring the lines between dream and reality and increasing your willfull suspension of disbelief. Almost to a point of Lucidity, but never recognizing the dream, only the plot.

This was a very powerful dream for me since it contained an emotion I have rarely experienced while awake. I am very thankful to have had Danny there to relay the story of my sleep rambling and I look forward perhaps more potent dreams.

I haven't been keeping my dream journal but I'm going to try and start today. Things have been crazy between setting up the new website, writing, and filming "Lucidity".

Dream April 29th

I don't remember the story or who was there, but I had my memory wiped and people around me had the same problem. I recently started "Dollhouse" and I think I'm dreaming in that world a little bit. I remember trying to figure out if I had my memories or another persons. It was very confusing.

I'm already starting to lose memory of the dream. I really only remember the end. I was running with a women and a child towards a huge cylinder that looks like it's made of a force shield of some kind. Chasing us is a man. The kid runs through the strange light and so does the girl, but the guy jumps through and is half stuck in and out. The part of him that is stuck out I grab and yank him back out of the light. We are all calm now. We make our way to the top of the tower by flying. I suddenly realize we could have equipped better gear because we had some, but simply forgot. Then I wake up.
