LOOK BEYOND THE PLEASANTRIES

Hi everyone :D  

This is another two-for-one since I woke up in the middle of the night and had two dreams in total.  The only connecting theme I could see between them is that me and my husband were on vacation :D  Let me know if you find any other themes connecting the two. 

To note, the second dream is also much longer than the first because I remembered quite a lot from it.   Enjoy!  

 

*Old Dream - April 8, 2025

*** 

Dream 1: 

My husband and I were in Japan for vacation and it was really amazing!  The best part was that a big brand store was offering free golden strappy sandals for women (for borrowing).  The sandals were retrieved at night by workers.  But then we could get another pair by going to the store again the next day :D 

Everything was going well until my parents decided to go to Japan too.  They even got a room in the same hotel and got the hotel staff to tell me to go to their room so my mom could talk to me.  

My mom insisted that my husband and I visit them each day in the morning before we headed off to our activities.  At first I kept refusing because it would be an interruption and inconvenience since I knew my mom liked to talk a lot and get me angry with the things she said so I definitely didn't want to start each day like that.  

After much refusal from me she said she's "not well" in Chinese.  She said it twice with a very pleasant but defeated tone.  Then I woke up thinking maybe it's time to visit my parents. 

 

Dream 2:

My husband and I were still on vacation, but in a different location.  Most likely Canada since there was a Dollarama, but the strange thing was it felt like we were in the United States.  Anyway, we ended up in a part of the city that was "odd", but in a good way?  

There was a large entertainment complex that looked interesting so we decided to check it out.  It was huge like a whole city!  There were so many stores and places to go.  

The people were really friendly, talkative, and patient.  It felt like everyone in the entertainment complex was a big family.  The only scary part was that demons also roamed the place and would steal things as they saw fit.  The people just told us to let them have what they want and the demons will go away.  In our case, the demon said it wanted towels so me and my husband put our recently bought souvenir towels on the ground and the demon took one and ran away. 

Interestingly when demons were about to approach, the atmosphere changed and the people either ran away or just prepared themselves to give up their possessions.  

After our demon encounter we continued to explore the multitude of stores and eateries inside the complex.  And at one point me and my husband decided to split up since he wanted to explore the shops while I wanted to stick around the cinema and food court area.  

Another interesting place inside the complex was something like a "waiting room" where people sat around while waiting for others.  There were plenty of chairs, but most of the time there were only a few people or less.  I liked the room because it was cozy and I was able to just rest and relax, lol.  

When I went by the cinema area, I learned that they were going to play a movie called "Halloween Night" later in the evening.  There was only one screening room, but it was huge and even had an area to order food from a kiosk.  The food would then be delivered to your seat.  It was really neat! 

I also went by the food court which looked very deserted but somehow businesses were still open?  It was really weird.  There were a lot of place mats on the tables with shop advertisements but I didn't even see any workers in the food stalls.  Maybe they had an ordering system I couldn't figure out.  

I bummed around miscellaneous places for quite some time while waiting to meetup with my husband and ended up back at the cinema.  At that time there were many people seated and ordering food.  Everyone was so amicable even when I was confused about how the seating was determined.  Like whether the seats were predetermined or just a free-for-all.  

And now that I think about it, no one asked me for a ticket.  I guess it was a free showing?  Hmm....

Since I was still waiting for my husband, I decided to have a seat close to the entrance/exit doors.  From there I was able to see someone using the food-ordering kiosk.  Everything was going well, but then the theatre screen glitch and I thought the person ordering food was going to make a fuss, but they were calm and trying to figure out what happened before calling a worker over.   

Around that time my husband came in and we decided to go out and explore more.  

As I was exiting, a guy who overlooked the cinema area asked if I'd want to stay for the movie since it was starting soon.  I asked what was showing (because I forgot), and he said "Halloween Night".   

I asked if it'd be okay to come back in a bit because I wanted to think about it and go to the washroom.  The guy said normally that wouldn't be allowed since opening the door would let light in and disturb the viewing, but since we were new to it, he would open the door, just this once.  

Then I saw him lock the door to the theatre and walk off while saying that I can just let him know if I wanted to watch.  He was super friendly.  Well, technically, everyone was super friendly.  But the door-locking was a "hmmm..." moment for sure.  Hopefully the door could be opened from the inside :|  

*** 

The first dream actually got me to call my parents and schedule a visit since I was worried something was wrong. 

And everything from the second dream felt so real and the fact that "Halloween Night" was mentioned on two separate occasions baffled me.  I never had a dream be so consistent when there were stretches of time or places in between two points.  

For me, visuals and "facts" have a tendency to change constantly which is why coherency is so difficult to convey sometimes. 

Have you had dreams that lead you to take actions because it felt like they weren't just dreams, but messages? 

And what did you think of the cinema door-locking?  I found that a bit suspicious, hmm... Let me know what you think, lol.  

Sorry for rambling on, and thanks so much for reading! :D

RUNNING WILD!

Hi everyone :D

I used to watch a lot of a show called "9-1-1" which is a television drama about the lives and hazards of various first responders in LA.  This dream will reference a few of the characters by name, but not much else, so hopefully if you aren't familiar with the show you can still enjoy reading the about what happens :D  

 

*Old Dream - January 17, 2025

*** 

I was watching an episode of "9-1-1".

There was a fundraiser marathon in progress but then out of nowhere a flash flood happened and the runners were hit and got stuck in the flowing waters.  Some people were washed away while some were able to hang onto floating debris and trees. 

Bobby, Chimney, Buck, Eddy, and Hen (from the show) came to save the runners.  And every time someone was rescued, they got the debris and mud washed off and then their marathon t-shirt was visible.  

The t-shirts were supposed to show the charity each runner picked to support, but strangely, a close-up of one of them was seen to have an image of some flooded fields instead.  It turned out that the current marathon was being held around those specific fields where a devastating flood happened years ago also :(

Bobby and his team ramped up efforts to clear and evacuate the area until there was only one more runner to wash down.  After that was done, the scene changed and I saw something that was very much like a commercial for a car.  

All the rescuers and runners were in an underground garage and there was a car sitting in the middle of it.  Then when one of the runners said he can drive stragglers to safety in his car, the car started to rotate like it was on display.  The runner also started listing off car features like he forgot all about the disaster going on.  The car was skinny (half the width of average car), grey colour, and van-shaped with a larger backside.  

Buck thought the car was really cool and jumped in and drove away but then the runner just laughed and somehow the car teleported back to its original spot.  That was an "anti-theft" mechanism.  Buck then ran back and said the car disappeared and his butt hurt, lol.  I thought this part was really funny considering all that was going on.

The scene then changed back to everyone being outside again and still trying to find safety.  Unfortunately the flooding intensified and heavy rain started.  The winds picked up like crazy and in the background behind Bobby a large and fierce water tornado was seen heading in his direction.  A random runner referred to it as a "supernova" of a tornado, whatever that meant. 

The skies then turned dark green-grey, the flood water splashed around like it was nobody's business and the wind was getting super intense and scary!  Then there was a close-up shot of Bobby's face while he looked at the tornado swirling towards him and .... well... find out what happens next episode! :O

***

Thanks for reading!  I really wish there was more, but unfortunately my dream ended in a major cliffhanger :|  How would you have everyone escape the situation?  I'd say boats, but would they survive the wild waters?  Hmmm....  

ETERNAL WINTER

Hi everyone :D  

This one is pretty short but I hope you all enjoy!

 

*Old Dream - January 15, 2025

*** 

There was a device of some sort that could bring upon an "eternal winter" around the world and only a handful of people knew how to use it properly.  Unfortunately the device was stolen by a group that wanted world domination. However, they didn't know that if used improperly, the device will not stop and will continue to run indefinitely. 

Then an organization that was lead by people who knew how to use the device went out to reclaim the device through a secret sting operation. Thankfully it went well and the device was safe again.

The organization wanted to send a message to the bad guys and turned on the device for a few minutes and showed the devastation that would occur if they used it improperly.

Then there was a preview of what the "eternal winter" would look like. There was a small city with a volcano in the background, but the whole area was covered in snow and even more snow was falling still.  Even the volcano got snuffed out because of the cold.  It was a spectacular, but scary sight! :O

*** 

Thanks for reading!  If you could choose an "eternal season", which one would you pick?  I'd go for Spring since the temperatures are generally to my liking, lol.   

 

Little Tidbits 3

Hi everyone :D  

Hope you've all been having a lovely week!  I could only remember this dream in bits in pieces, but I felt it was memorable enough to record it down.  

*Old Dream - January 14, 2025

*** 

Miscellaneous scenes:

-  I was inside a huge mall with white marble floors and large floor-to-ceiling windows facing a body of water possibly an ocean or lake.  The mall and the view were both very beautiful!

-  I was with a group people (some real friends, some unknowns) and we were tasked with mailing a package with all the needed material for a movie project.  Unfortunately we had trouble fitting everything into the cardboard box that was provided.  We tried our best, but some items were lost during mailing because they popped out :(

-  My mom was telling me to wake up and get ready for breakfast.  We were gonna go to a restaurant.  After I sat up she hugged me and I was stunned since she never did this in real life.  She then said I should hug back and I did since what else could I do? It was weird to say the least.

-  Back in the mall, after exploring a while I found a karaoke place that looked promising.  I heard someone singing a familiar tune and really wanted to sing the same song.  I think it was a Britney Spears' song, but I could be wrong since there were some really high notes I don't remember her songs having.  The waiting room had a bunch of sofas and cushions and some hot pink wall panels.  It looked like a really luxurious business place rather than a karaoke lounge.

*** 

Thanks for reading!  I'm not sure if there is any kind of connection with these bits, but they stood out in their own way.  Thinking about it, I still remember the huge mall as if it was a real experience because it was so immersive.  But also so huge, so getting from store to store took a long time, lol.

 

FRIENDSHIP OVER FEAR

Hi everyone :D  

Even after having been out of the school system for so long, sometimes, I still dream about being a student.  Most of the time I really hate those dreams, but thankfully this one had one of the nicest and the most memorable moments.  Hope you enjoy!

 

*Old Dream - August 10, 2024

*** 

I was back in high school and had to get to homeroom class.  I was recently transferred from a different class so I didn't know where the room was exactly.  When I made it to my new classroom, I noticed there was no teacher and only two female students were there.  Both of the students were very talkative and friendly.  They greeted me and began asking questions about what classes I took and stuff like that.  I guess this was a very casual class.

A while later, one of the girls said she preferred to study in a different room and I saw her calling someone using her cell phone.  After the call she said she got permission from the homeroom teacher to use the other room.  She was very happy about that and we all headed on our way.  

We had to get to room 417.  I thought it would be straight forward but that was not the case at all.  The two girls knew exactly how to get there while I was totally confused and sometimes lost sight of them.  We made our way through long hallways filled with people that looked like construction and office workers, a treacherous path with spikes coming from the ground, and lots of scattered boulders.  I even needed to take an escalator going up to who knows where.  And there was also a hot boiling cauldron at the base of an elevator.  Talk about dangerous :O

Unfortunately, I lost sight of the girls before getting to the elevator and was very hesitant to keep going because of all the dangers.  I felt really lost and scared, but then a voice called to me and said they'll show me the way.  I turned around, and as luck would have it, it was my friend from high school.  

I was so glad to see him and get his help.  He showed me how to navigate the spiked grounds, and elevator that was overflowing with people.  Though, I did lose sight of him around the cauldron area and thought he went up the elevator; he did not :|

I reached the top of the roof and saw a bunch of locked rooms.  They were quite small, like sheds, but I couldn't figure how to open any of them.  I was thinking "these must be the rooms, right?"  Well, no luck, and with no other students in sight I was getting scared and sad again.  Plus, it was nighttime, and rainy, and I just wanted to find the room to meet with the girls I was with before.  

After going back down into the school, I decided to keep searching since the layout was much more like a real school on the upper floors. The first few rooms were empty but then I heard some talking as I got close to the next one and when I turned in to see who was there, it was my friend :D  Sitting at a table talking to some of the other students.  

He looked up at me with a smile and asked "what took you so long?"

At that moment I felt such happiness and relief, it's hard to describe.  I'm pretty sure I got teary-eyed also.  I ran to him and gave him the biggest hug ever.  Then I sat down and we started to chat.  But soon after, I reached out and grabbed his hands and held them in mine, looked straight into his eyes and was praying to God that astral projection would help me send this message him:

"Thank you for being such a dear friend, you don't know to how much you mean to me.  With all my heart, I want you to know."

I probably said it a little differently, but the meaning is the same.  I really wanted him to know one way or another.  And although I wasn't in a lucid state, I was aware enough that it was a dream.

Then I woke up. 

*** 

Would you believe this is one of at least three times I tried to send out messages through my dreams?  I'm always hoping the other people are actually receiving them, but so far, still no confirmations of any sort, lol.  Oh well, maybe one day.  Thanks for reading!  

Have you ever tried relaying messages through your dreams?  

LUCID FUN!

Hi everyone :D

This was the first time I experienced four different dreams while being lucid for almost the whole time.  It was cool at first, but then got scary as to when I'll really wake up :|  The dreams also get longer each time, so hopefully it doesn't get too rambly, enjoy!  

Note:  Gets a little "touchy" at parts but everything is still PG, so no need to worry, lol.  

 

*Old Dream - Oct 9, 2023

***  

 

First Dream:  

 

I was in a kitchen environment and then became lucid while looking around.  I was so happy I went and explored all the kitchen foods and appliances in detail then “woke up”.

 

 

Second Dream:  

 

Still lucid, I had to go to a dinner party in a restaurant.  There were lots of people that I didn’t recognize but I started talking to a guy and girl.  Eventually they mentioned the date as Monday October 9th.  For some reason hearing that shocked me and that point I realized it was “a dream” and went rogue, lol.  

 

I ran out of the party room door and came upon a big hallway with lots of rooms.  The hallway was dark and had some bluish lighting.  I went around looking inside them.  The rooms were like dorms with university students in it.  I decided to test the “lucidity” so I went into one of the rooms and jumped on top of a guy who was sitting on his bed.  I touched his face and body to see if I could feel the texture of skin and clothing.  And, wow, I could!  It was funky!  

 

The guy was naturally afraid but then realized I didn’t mean any harm and calmed down.  Then he started getting into it too and feeling my clothes, and we end up kissing.  It was a nice feeling.  Then I “woke up”.

 

 

Third Dream: 

 

Still lucid, starting back in the restaurant dinner party room I saw the same people as before and asked for the date again.  It was still “Monday October 9th”.  I ran out into the dark hallway again but this time, I noticed my clothes were pjs instead of outdoor clothes.  I saw the rooms again but decided to run outside the building instead and saw the city.  Not much to remember, it was sunny with cloudy skies and a lot of tall buildings.  I then started running around and into an apartment building.   

 

The unit doors were open so I peeked inside each of them and eventually found a place with two guys.  I asked one of the guys to leave and asked the other if he would like to make out.  He was shocked but he agreed.  I could feel he didn’t think he was “good looking” enough to get such a request since his skin had lots of acne.  We kissed and hugged for a while.  Then my legs felt pretty stone-like and it was hard to move around and stay upright.  I told myself “if this is my dream, then I have the power to make things happen.”  My legs felt lighter again.  

 

After making out, I left the room, but instead of seeing the apartment hallway, I was in a house-like building.  The walls were dark brown wood and there was a staircase leading down and a few rooms.  During that time I also learned of a new “dating reality show” and that my sister was one of the participants.  The catch to the show was that you'd have to be open to date both men and women.  I was surprised to see my sister in a show like that and I wanted to ask her about it.  Then I “woke up”.

 

 

Fourth Dream: 

 

Still lucid, I really thought I was awake at last because when I "woke up" I saw my husband next to me and wanted to start telling him about my weird dream.  But then my sister walked into the room and I was like “uh oh….” :O  I asked them what date it was.  My sister gave me the time instead which was “7:30am” and then when I asked for the date, she said it was “April 7th”.  That’s when it sunk in, that that was the most false awakenings in a row and that who knows when I’d really wake up :|   

 

I decided to just accept that I might be there a while so I started looking around.  The living room was the dark brown wood that was in the third dream.  There were two big windows and through them I saw a lot of greenery like grass, bushes and trees.  There were a couple of beds, a few small tables and a wardrobe.  There was also a TV and gaming system.   

 

I asked my husband we should eat for breakfast and he said “McDonald’s”.  I was thinking, “this seems too early for McDonald’s”, but whatever, I just went with the flow and walked out of the bedroom to a staircase leading down.  On the next level down, there were two washrooms, and a couple of other rooms.  I decided to check out one of the rooms and it seemed like a child’s playroom. There were lots of toys, colourful play-mats covering most of the floor and a TV with a game system.  There was also a small window with sun shining through.  After a quick look, I decided to go all the way downstairs.  I didn’t see much except for a few rooms with doors closed and a tight hallway with a TV and game system just sitting a little bit away from what I’m guessing is the front door.  I just realized there were a lot of TV's and gaming systems, lol.  

 

I started touching the gaming system and noticed some dust flakes falling around and then my sister came down and said the “teacher” responsible for the hallway and game system area hates it when there’s visible dust.  So she pointed to a giant brush-top vacuum tube and told me to clean the dust away.  But when I grabbed the tube, the brush-top started to transform into something else and I had to use my “dream power” to transform it back before finishing with the clean-up.  I then went back up before making any more of a mess.  

 

When I got back to my bedroom I looked through the window and saw small creatures floating through the air in pairs.  They looked sort of like sea-monkeys and seahorses combined.  Then I started noticing a bunch inside the room.  One pair “swam” toward my husband and he pried them apart :(  I asked him why, and he said because they were “stuck together”.  I told him they were mating and then he left them alone.  The ones he pried apart managed to pair up again while swimming in the air.  It was such a beautiful scene.  And then interestingly the pairs started pairing up and would become a singular pair that’s slightly bigger.  So like two pairs would become one bigger pair.  It was cool to see.   

 

Then all of a sudden my sister told me I needed to get a new battery for one of the game controllers.  She said the battery was in the other room I didn’t explore.  The door was open so I went inside and saw my brother was there.  He was playing on his game console and told me the batteries are on the wall shelves.  His room walls were white with white wooden shelves attached to the walls.  After grabbing the battery I slowly woke up for real.  

*** 

Thanks to anyone who got through all that, Iol.  Sorry if it was a big long at the end, but I didn't want to edit too much out from my original text.  

I really liked being lucid in dreams because I like to run amuck and touch everything, lol.  Most of the time it's just inanimate objects like tables, floors, rocks, etc. but this time it was people!  It was so weird and fascinating.  Have you guys ever had such a lucid experience?

  

WELCOME HOME :D

Hi everyone :D  

Have you ever felt like joining a community, but not sure whether they are a good fit for you?  Hopefully this dream will help you think twice before joining something where you keep noticing inconsistencies, lol.  Enjoy!  

Oh, also to note, this dream is written as two parts because I woke up part way through the night.

 

*Old Dream - May 20 2019

*** 

First Part:

Me and my husband were in need of some help (don't remember why) so we went around to community centres to see if anyone could assist.  Then we came a across a small church with a group of people who lived together like a family and were very welcoming.  Pretty much anyone who lived there did chores to help out  The members showed us around and said we are welcome to stay there.  

We wanted to give them something in return for their hospitality.  They said they are always looking for supplies so we decided to head back home and check out what we have there.  The interior of the church was really big, but when we exited the place, that's when the exterior looked even smaller than I had remembered.  It was the size of a backyard shed.  I got suspicious of how they they changed the look of the place so drastically.  But we were in the company of the two church leaders (who were both women), so I decided to just let my suspicions slide.   

When we reached the home we went into the basement and showed the leaders all we were able to offer and they were happy.  They took only a few things and left.  

Second Part - *after waking up and sleeping again*

I was now part of the live-in church group, though not officially initiated yet, so I was still free to leave anytime.  

During my time I developed super sensory and physical skills, like extra good hearing, hanging upside down (from a web line?), and combat skills.  Though I never really got to use said skills.

My sister even joined and was tasked with selling things for money and bringing in food supplies.  The interesting thing was that she took the food she brought in over to a table and exchanged it all for a few packets of instant ramen noodles she could cook whenever she wanted.

There was some kind of exchange system in place based on what the church needed and what you wanted from them, but the table supervisor is the one who'd determine how well you did your task and decide what you'd receive so you may not get everything you were expecting.  Thankfully, my sister was happy with her trade. 

After my sister's exchange transaction was completed I went inside to talk with the supervisor since we had gotten to know each other.  She told me how I was doing really well and would fit in nicely at the church.  Then she was called away and I just stayed to watch the exchange table.  

Then I saw scenes of me talking to a guy named Matt.  I got the sense he became a member and wanted to leave but was forced to stay.  He was talking against the church like there was no tomorrow since he'd been snooping around and found a lot of dirt on them; corruption, brainwashing, controlling, etc.  It was hard to believe any of the stuff he was telling me since I never felt any of that.  And all the other members seemed so happy and friendly.  

Now going back to the exchange table scene, I looked through the window to my left, and saw it was a sunny day, there were a lot of beige-brick apartment buildings across the paved street.  There were sidewalks too.  It was kind of strange because internally I knew it was supposed to be more rural, and grassy, kind of like a countryside town

Then I looked to through the window on my right side and saw a military truck coming around the corner.  The people inside had really elaborate red and yellow outfits, like robes and were wearing crowns too.  They were the highest ranked members of the church, I was wondering what was going on.

Then the supervisor lady came back and told me that the initiation ceremony was about to happen for all new members which included me.  Timing was off though, it was supposed to happen at a later date.  I asked her why the initiation was moved ahead so much.  She then looked at me with fear in her eyes and told me to leave before the ceremony, that it was the only way out without having to fight.  She looked really scared for me.  I didn't know what was going on, but I believed something bad was going to happen.  

In the next scene, I was back in my church bedroom (every member had their own room) and Matt was there unconscious :O  I wandered out and met another prisoner of the church named Julia.  The situation wasn't looking good :| 

*** 

Sorry for the sudden end to that.  I guess I shouldn't have joined after having suspicious thoughts, eh?  I kind of wonder what would have happened next and whether I'd ever escape the church.  What do you think?  Thanks for reading!  :D
