Me and Angelina Jolie


Dream category: Action movie
Emotion triggered: Adrenaline rush
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 7

Last night me and mrs. Smith (Angelina Jolie) were being chased down by FBI agents on a U.S. airport. Bullets were flying, stairs were escalated, escalators and elevators were used as cover and someone was trying to snipe us down. Mrs. Smith hacked into a train-ticket-system-thingie and got us ticket for a train to Chile (is there even a train that goes all the way from the U.S. to Chile?).

One of my friend's mom came up to me in the dream and said I was reported missing, so I decided to check out my cell phone in the dream to see if anyone had tried to contact me. That's when I woke up.

But hey.. pretty sweet dream... and what a rush! :)

Sleeps.com says:
"
To dream of celebrities shows that you are letting too much pomp and circumstance convince you to act certain ways that are against your better nature, this could be to your downfall in the area of the heart.

A dream of guns of any type is a dream of misfortune as it denotes an injustice will be done to you or a close friend, on which you will have to spend much time, effort, and money to overcome. If you see yourself loading a gun you should be careful to guard your temper well.

A bullet
in a dream is a very bad omen. If you are hit with one this is to warn you to have a medical checkup immediately, and if you see a bullet, or several, do not do or say anything that can be misconstrued as you could lay yourself open to some very bad scandal.

In a dream the sight of a busy airport represents the desire for freedom and/or travel as this is the jumping off point for all those who travel the world and it brings out your hidden desires to do the same.

but if you are walking downstairs (on stairs) expect to meet with bad luck and setbacks.

An elevator dream is a rather complex dream and you should interpret it in light of all the other symbols in your dream, for one thing, if the elevator is going up your fortunes will increase."

Some bad and some good omens in this dream then. Hmm...

Adding new apartment mates

Dream category: Ordinary life situation
Emotion triggered: None in particular
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 5

So, a friend spent the night, so I didn't get to do my whole nightly "hypnosis" routine where I tell myself to remember my dream and make my body relax and stuff, and when I woke up we started talking right away so then most of what I dreamt went "bye bye" from my memory...

Here's a smaaall thing I remember: I remember living in this big apartment with several bedrooms with several people. And then someone moved out, so we had to find new ones. And new ones came to see the apartment and new ones moved in. Yup, sorry.. that's all I can remember. :)

So since I didn't have much to share, you can look at this video about lucid dreaming:

The Birthday Party - A lucid, reincarnating and wet nightmare. (4 for 1)


Dream category: Ordinary life / Nightmare / Wet
Emotion triggered: Happiness, fear, powerful and arousement
Lucid: YES! :)
Hours of sleep: 5 plus 3

(This is the first log on this blog on the 4 subjects lucid, nightmare, reincarnation and wet dream)

So this is how it went down; I woke up in my own bed, except it was in a different apartment out in the country of my home town. Two friends of mine from home showed up. Then a couple of more. Then some colleagues from where I live now. Eventually I suddenly had 20 people in my house. I asked what they were doing there.
They said they were there to celebrate my birthday, even though they just remembered it was not until another month. So we sat out in the garden trying to figure out what we were gonna do, maybe hit the beach or something.

*I wake up at this time. Write down what I just dreamt in my orange book, and went back to sleep*

Now I'm at my late grandmother's house, with my step family. My grandmother is sitting there looking healthy as ever (even though she passed away two years ago). So it was nice to see her again. They are still celebrating my birthday even though they mention in the dream that it's not until another month (mark: My real life birthday is July 11, so it's about two weeks away in real life). They give me presents, sing me songs and so forth.

Suddenly we are all hostages in our own house. Some crazy dude comes in and explains that one of us has to die and be turned into a demon. I grab a bat and try to beat him down, but when the bat hits his head it feels like hitting a brick wall... it just bounces off. The guy throws me across the room and I crashland behind a table. Now I'm scared.

(here is where the lucid part kicks in)

I get up on my feet and I get a strange feeling that this is somewhat "out of the ordinary"... deceased grandma and super-strong evil men. Then I remember one of the techniques for verifying if you're dreaming or not; it is to look down at your hands and feet at the same time and see if you see them or if there is something out of the ordinary. On my left foot I have a shoe on, on my right foot I have nothing on. Not even socks. That's when I realize that I'm dreaming and I run into the kitchen where the bad man is now placed (remember, this was the dude I tried to hit in the head with a bat and it just bounced off... but that was when I thought it was reality). I grab a hold of the guy and throw him across the kitchen and into the wall before he falls to the floor. I grab a hold of the back of his head and start beating his forehead on the kitchen counter, before I do a great finalè and send him flying out the kitchen window. (Niiiice huh?)

And now that I realize my mission is complete and I'm still in dreamland, I decide to have a little fun with a house guest that has arrived in the living room... the rest of the story... is for me and my orange book to keep :)

Who the man? I'm the man!

Sleeps.com says: "If you dream of visiting your old family home you will hear some very good news. If the home itself, is in a dilapidated condition and general neglect, this then is an omen that you will soon hear of the death of a close relative or a very dear friend. If you dream of good friends in a congenial and happy setting then you will soon here good new of them or a close relative. If they exhibit staunch friendship for you in your dream then all your current activities will be successes. If you see them as sad or unhappy you will receive news of an illness. Dreaming of a necromancer (the bad man I threw out who wanted to turn us into demons) is a very bad dream and should be meditated on along with the whole dream. Dreaming of this necromancer practicing his black arts denotes there are evil people around you that will try to influence your life and spoil your domestic bliss. To dream of your parents could be quite an involved thing and must be sorted out by consulting the rest of your dream. By and large the dream of a father is a dream symbol of authority which this parent has held over you, it could also represent power, or strength, or discipline. A dream of a mother is usually a dream that foretells a happy conclusion concerning a love interest as a mother represents love, protection, and nourishment of the body or the spirit. To see yourself working on a beach shows that you will soon be involved with a job, or project, that will be demanding of you in both time and effort. (The wet part evolved to occur on a beach)

Lots of comments from Sleeps.com, but it was a hefty dream with lots of things going on.
And the whole birthday theme of this dream/nightmare had a connection with what I dreamt the previous night, when two of my friends in my dream said: "Your birthday is coming up!" And those two were the first ones to appear in this dream telling me it was my birthday. Coool. It's like living two lives. A real one on the outside of my head, and one life on the inside of my head.

Doctor LaBerge en route....



Amazon.com confirmed the shipping of the book and CD I ordered:

Lucid Dreaming by Dr. Stephen LaBerge.

Reading an article about Dr. LaBerge's research on lucid dreaming inspired this little project of mine, so that's why I wanted to order his book, even though there are tons of books out there on lucid dreaming.

Here you can read an article about Dr. Stephen LaBerge and his work.


ETA is 1 month(!). He who waits for something good, does not wait in vain. ;)

Seeing old friends and old places


Dream category: Casual life
Emotion triggered: None in particular
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 10

Last night I dreamt I was back in my old hometown in Northern Norway, hanging out with old friends, meeting my family and seeing old familiar places. Me and my friends birthdays were coming up, even tho her birthday is in April and mine is in July. My mom had bought a new huge house... which looked a lot like the same house one of my friends down here in Oslo lives in.

So the only thing that was special about this dream, is that it was all about old friends and old places. I don't feel homesick, so maybe it was just a small part of me that wanted to go home for a bit? :)

I sure hope so :)

Dead fish


Dream category: Bizarre
Emotion triggered: Nausea
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 5

Alrighty, weeeird.

Last night I dreamt I was on an open hilly field, and there were dead fish lying all over. An old colleague of mine was in the dream, and she informed me that the fish had been eaten by other fish, and that was why some of the dead fish didn't have any skin. Their body looked like jellyfish.

Sleeps.com says: "to see a dead fish... is an omen of disappointment."

So I'm gonna be disappointed soon? Hmm... I'll keep you posted on that ;)
