Major break-through

Dream category: Kissing
Emotion triggered: What do you think? ;)
Lucid: Half-way
Hours of sleep: 1 hour nap

I read in Lucid Dreaming by Dr. Stephen LaBerge that one of the reasons why dreams can feel so real, is because the body has the same reactions as it would in real life, even though you're sleeping. So say you run up and grab somebody in your dream, then in "the real world", in the bed you're sleeping in, you'll have muscle twitches and other reactions that simulates what's going on in your dream.

During the same nap as the baby puke mentioned below, I dreamt that someone I know very well(!) came into my bedroom, woke me up from my nap, and got on top of me and started making out with me. And here's the best part... at this point I wasn't sure if I was dreaming or not, because I did realize in the dream that this person coming here was not planned, so I was probably dreaming, but the kissing felt so REAL(!!!)... it was like doing it in real life... so this is probably the first lucid dream I've had where I've had a fight between my mental experience and my physical experience of the dream to decide wether I'm sleeping or not!

When I woke up I was breathing heavily... just like you would if you had actually been making out with someone over a long time without catching your breath.

So I guess Dr. Laberge is right. Feelings in real life, are the same as in the dream world.

Droemmetydning.com (Sleeps.com was down) says: "If you liked the kiss you'll experience love and peace."

Score!

*puke*

I took a quick nap after work. I dreamt a friend of mine had had a baby, and I was playing with it throwing it up in the air and it was giggling and having a ball. Then it threw up on me!

Real nice! "Thank you" baby!

Sleeps.com says: "a bright, clean baby speaks of a wonderful love affair or even the making of many new friends."

Well, the baby was happy, bright and clean before it puked on me. So I'm just going to ignore the puke part, and stick to the bright, clean baby fortune from Sleeps.com :) *fingers crossed*

Workplace now also an ER ?

Dream category: Bizarre
Emotion triggered: Confusion
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 1

So yeah, I hardly got any sleep last night since there was a thunder storm terrorizing Oslo, and just my luck, I had to get up early for work (5 a.m. people).

So when I got home from work I just had to take a nap... and what do you know?.... a dream occured.

I was still at work, which is just a simple reception desk at a gym, and suddenly people start screaming outside on the streets. And suddenly this huge (Italian?) family comes rushing by the reception desk and into the gym... most appear perfectly fine, but in-between them I can see an old woman in a huge white wedding gown covered in blood and a guy in a tux with a motorbike helmet on and through the shield I see that his brain has come out of his head.

Sleeps.com says: "To dream of seeing blood stains you will have much trouble from an enemy if you start a business or other enterprise. "

I just think this dream is a signal that I should stop working so much, and probably take a break from watching too many doctor related tv-shows like Grey's Anatomy.

Blog back in action

Wow, almost a year since my last post... been pre-occupied with other things and the whole dream-b-log thing wasn't prioritized until it eventually faded into nothing.

BUT... the blog is back! More posts will eventually come, but if you're new here you can take a look at my old posts and see what weeeeird things I dream about.

Drowning

Dream category: Nightmare
Emotion triggered: Fear
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 7

Last night I dreamt that my dad had bought a cabin by the ocean.

I swam out there to take a look at it, and when I got there I noticed that he had built a pool under the water. (Yes, it was weird.)

When I got done looking I wanted to swim back, but all of the sudden something was keeping me in place in the water and it started to pull me down and up in the water. I was starting to choke real bad, when I finally managed to pull myself out of the water, and lay down flat on the cabin's deck. My dad came with a boat and we went back home, and I woke up.

Sleeps.com says: "To dream that you drown or in the midst of drowning is a bad omen as it pertains to the health of your business and partnership activities.

If you dream you are swimming in the ocean coming toward shore you will have good fortune in business and financial affairs through your hard work.

A dream of suffocation should first of all be taken as a warning and go to see the doctor for a thorough checkup, second of all the dream could indicate that you are a victim of a particular kind of love that is so protective of you that you feel suffocated. Either way the dream warns you to check your health or get out of a bad relationship."

Flying through a mall and crashing through the ceiling

Dream category: Flying
Emotion triggered: Adrenaline Rush
Lucid: Yes
Hours of sleep: 8

Forgot to blog yesterday, so I'm gonna tell you short about my dream the night before that.

I was screwing around in a mall until I realized that I was dreaming. Now that I was lucid in the dream I decided to see if I could force myself to fly and crash through the ceiling of the mall. And indeed I did. I took off, and flew straight towards the ceiling and smashed my way through it until I got to the other side. There was a bowling alley there... and then I woke up!

Sleeps.com says: "Flying dreams are normally a good omen and if the flight is pleasant, with no worries and anxieties, you can look for happiness and plenty to follow."

Starring in Grey's Anatomy while competing in Unreal Tournament with powers from Max Payne

Dream category: Action / Superpowers
Emotion triggered: Adrenaline rush
Lucid: No
Hours of sleep: 8

I'm watching Grey's Anatomy season DVD's these days, and that's probably why I last night was reviving a baby with Dr. Karev at Seattle Grace Hospital.

Later me, McDreamy, McSteamy and Dr. Burke broke into a house so we could get thrown into jail to save Miss Grey herself. We were launched into a round of Unreal Tournament against an unidentified team instead, but instead of weapons lying around there were a bunch of video games. The video game you picked up, would determine your weapon-of-choice in the game. I picked up the videogame Max Payne with the famous Kung Fu modification. In slow-motion I dodged the opposing team's bullets while raining them down with my own bullets, and finishing them off with flying kicks.

Sleeps.com says: "Crying babies in a dream may foretell of ill health or minor disappointments in your personal life (well, I am recovering from an operation which prevents me from doing the things I love the most) while a bright, clean baby speaks of a wonderful love affair or even the making of many new friends. A nursing baby can mean contentment or even deception when taken in relation to other symbols in your dream. Dreaming of a baby can also denote the state of your soul life, again in relation to the other signs.

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. (I do have a bad temper!) "
