| Lucid dreaming | 10:35 pm, August 19th, 2010
I had a most amazing dream last night, which I thought I’d share with you all…because I think it could be classified as a lucid dream.
I actually woke up several times during it, and quickly fell back asleep because I was in a state of half awakeness/half sleep. I don’t know if you’d call it exactly lucid dreaming…but I made sure the protagonist didn’t die and at the end I knew that everything was going to be ok because I would wake up…but it made me feel so many things at once I tried to write it all down and I COULDN’T. I usually have my phone on my bedside table, and this is what I wrote AS SOON AS I GOT UP:
Csn covtr time and space- parent tterap Luke but show abs friends make copies of thrmselves. H
They get sentences to self execution but she swings the flowerr swing put of the way into the rock wall, smashing it.
Super saiyan mode- logs tumbling down; labd fives way and now they’re floating, turtles dace them and titled are floating as they’re faking, qrtiting next to bushes.
Yeah. I know. I gave up soon after I wrote that.
My iphone can be pretty annying sometimes because it autocorrects stuff, but basically the whole dream centred around this girl who was kind of Promethea like. She also reminded me of Zena the warrior princess. Anyway, there are two separate storylines happening at once.
I’m with a few coworkers from work in one part- probably because I stayed up a good part of the night editing some clips for the annual catalogue party. We come across an old abandoned building and I feel really creeped out. Keith, one of the chefs, opens the door and peers inside. We all kind of walk around inside and its dusty and light shines through cracks in the windows. There’s another door, and we open that. And we step inside, and then there’s another door, and another door. It was like an inifinite amount of doors like when you look at yourself in two mirrors at the same time. It was kinda trippy and I felt more and more creeped out as more doors kept appearing out of nowhere. It was like I was trapped in an infinite amount of doors and I desperately craved to be outside in some greenery.
Then all of a sudden we’re in the middle of a forest and I’m standing there, watching an execution of a mighty female warrior by a native tribe of some sort. Maybe American indian. Only she’s lying with her face towards the sky, and the guillotine is actually a wooden plank adorned with colourful flowers. When the first attempt doesn’t harm her, they make her stand up and they swing the plank at her neck. At this point I’m kind of awake, and kind of asleep so I could feel myself getting really angry because- they were killing the flowers, they were killing her, and I got the idea they were just barbarians. So I “made her” push the plank away though the force of her psychic powers, and the huge plank flies into a clifface. The cliff breaks into hundreds of wooden logs and they start raining down upon everyone and I feel happy. The land gives way under our feet, and I can feel myself falling into nothing. Purple and blues and stars whiz by as I fall further and further.
Time then kinda slows down and it feels like I’m falling down a rabbit hole like in Alice in Wonderland. I pass by a lot of greenery and shrubs which I know the warrior princess saved, and there’s suddenly a lot of turtles, who have grey long beards. These turtles are writing on long manuscripts next to the shrubbery and as I’m falling I wonder what they’re writing about. I’m kind of in a state of…god knows what…because I can hear stuff going on outside my room but I’m still dreaming of falling and scholarly turtles and it didn’t really faze me at all. Then….I’m forced to wake up because I have to go to work.
It was a pretty epic dream. There was more, but I forgot a lot as soon as I woke up :/ Oh well…
The image of the wise turtle sounds familiar though. I can’t quite remember where I’ve seen it but I know I’ve seen the image somewhere before. It was really cool though!
Anyway I won’t dwell too much on it- got a whole load of IKEA shizz to do tonight. I have to edit a video for the party as I said earlier, and it’s looking pretty….uh….eclectic.
I may even post it here once I’m done! I won’t be at the party to see it played so I won’t know until next week if we’ve won (it’s for an inter-departmental prize thing). We totally have a great chance. Especially with my mad editing skills. Heh.
Yeah. Still working on that photography stuff for the site and other things I need to add. I’ve been pretty busy lately but I’ll have some free time reallly really soon!!! Yay!

You have the most amazing dreams! I am jealous!
Sometimes it seems like there must be more going on in your head in such a short space of time than what has been going on in my head throughout my entire mathematics career.
And believe me, that is saying something!
Have fun with your IKEA voodoo. I wish I could steal you away from it right now, haha. <3
