New blog, new format, same old guy.

Well, as I said I would, I have decided to leave Dream Recollections forever and to recreate another blog with a better format. It’s not that DR was a bad blog, but it was my first blog ever and I must say that I found it to be unorganized and, truly, I have been experiencing enough things for the few past months that it does not reflect who I am today.

 

So, this is my last post in here… And, of course, I will give you the link to my new blog:

http://outsideofthecave.wordpress.com/

I have yet to construct it, but most of it is already done and ready for updates. I have decided to make this a two-themed blog. Of course, it will remain most prominently a dream journal, but it will also be the center of my own random thoughts on life, death, the physical world and what is over it, what is behind it, what is beneath and what is beyond. I’ve had many thoughts that I wanted to write down for a long time and I feel like this will be the best place, now that I’ve created it. I will not transfer my existing dream posts, but I will put many of the existing links that can be found in here ( mostly dream journals and dream websites, you know who you are ) so don’t worry – I’ll do that in time.

I have also already made a resolution. I want to showcase art in its most diverse and amazing ways. In this spirit, I have decided to create a second blog dedicated to art. If I suceed in amazing people through this, if I can make a single human being more interested in art, then my resolution will be complete. I must say, however, that this blog will be secondary, and that I will always give more importance to my dream journal than anything else. I have already found out that without a weekly dream journal, I have seen quite a low percentage when it comes to lucid dreaming… And I want this to end!

The link for my art blog will be:

http://unravelart.wordpress.com/

 

I think I will start both blogs on the first day of 2009. It would be a nice and formal thing to do, I believe.

 

So, this is both the end and the beginning. I will keep this blog alive – I will not shut it down. With the hits I’ve had ( not sure how many are actual human beings or just plain bots surfing for some spam ), I feel like this blog is still going to be handy for some ( plus I hope a few will get this post and come to my new blog! ). Heh.

 

This is it!

I am back.

 

I have been back for some time already and I have been thinking about many things. I believe that I will change this blog or switch to another one. This blog, although it held a lot of information, has never been what I truly wanted it to be and I think that this break gave me the chance to think about a new format. I will most probably create another wordpress blog and link it to here when the time comes.

 

While I was away, I have been experimenting various feats during lucid dreaming. I regularly go to a world of my own ( I have yet to baptize it – I had Akasha in my mind but Nephanim beat me to it! ) and create things in there. I give life or take it if need be. It is very rewarding – almost as rewarding as a dream fight. Up to this point, I was describing my dreams in a simplistic, comical manner and I believe that in the next blog I will take my dreams more seriously and give them profound analysis. I must confess that through the months when I was away, my faith in the power of dreams has increased exponentially and it is slowly shifting my perspective of my inner self.

 

I might come back sooner than anticipated!

Ok, as I am typing this down, I can assure you that I am not back – yet!…

 

As I previously said, for monetary reason, I would quit internet for some time after moving out. However, after further analysis ( I always wanted to say that ), it turns out that I might be able to keep it. I’ll probably write back pretty soon if I do make it.

 

I believe I’ll handle this blog much more seriously if I ever come back. I’ve had multiple ideas for it and I must say that I miss it a lot. I hope everything works out well.

 

I am amazed to see that I still have many views per day even though this blog is pretty much offline. My dream art page has over 1000 views now. Pretty impressive… I wasn’t expecting this.

 

Bad, bad news!

 Sincerely, this summer has been horrible. First, the overall weather was horrible. Then, I kept on catching all sorts of crap that made me sick ( since when do you get so sick during SUMMER!?! ).

 

 But the bad news is that this blog is currently in suspension. Not by authorities, of course ( I might talk about nasty stuff in my dreams, but not THAT nasty. No, I am the one putting it on neutral for now. You see, I am moving out and along with the moving out, internet will be cut off for monetary reasons. I am still not giving up on dream journals, though. I will still be typing down my dreams in document formats on my PC and perhaps will I come back in here in a couple of months ( or a couple of years, I truly don’t know at this time ), and then I’ll copy/paste them all in here…

 

 In the meantime, I will stop my regular dream journal and I will concentrate on finishing ( or at least, I’ll try ) my numerous pages in the upcoming weeks. I was hoping that this blog would live longer… or that I’d be able to maintain it for a year or so, but I must face it – I just can’t at this time. I didn’t get many comments in here, but one thing I know is that I’ve had a lot of views. I know a dream journal is not especially the kind of blog people like to reply to since dreams are so personal. However, I know that hundreds have browsed on my blog and I do hope that a handful of you were able to find additional information on dreams.

 

 I don’t know what the WordPress policy is concerning inactive blogs. Maybe they’ll never delete it. I do hope I’ll one day come back in here in order to continue what I have started. You can still come and look from time to time – I might come back sooner!

 

 On a final note, I would say this: Humanity is different. Its differences have often been the causes for hatred, intolerance and war. But besides who we are and how we are there are a few things that connect all of us. Dreams are one of those. Everyone dreams. This is why you must reconsider the power of dreams.

 

There is still magic in this world!

 

World War Santa

I am Santa Claus. There are some children here and there and I give them some gifts. Suddenly, there are a couple of wolves and some sort of evil woman on a chariot ( pretty similar to the Narnia universe ) and they start fighting with me. Two evil dwarves start chasing me and I enter a tube with plenty of doors. Every time I cross a door, I close it and I lock it and the dwarves finally give up. When I leave the tube, I am in a park near my house, but there’s an army of evil people and they’re going to fight some war against the good people ( at least that’s what I think ). The evil queen comes to me and I give up, since there are too many to fight.

 

One of the craziest dreams ever.

 

ARGH!

I know! I said this blog would return to its daily activities… And once again I couldn’t do it! This time I got some eye infection that kept me from looking at any kind of light and since computer screens generate light ( duh! ) I couldn’t use the comp for about 2 weeks. I am now taking some medication with eye drops and stuff and now I’m getting better but just looking at the screen right now is getting my eye pretty tired. So that means I will not update this blog YET… But I had plenty of dreams and although I might have forgotten some of them, I want to write them down as soon as I feel okay with this eye thing. So, unless I am cursed, I will update this blog in a couple of days or so…

 

Fat Guy vs The Machines

I am a fat blond haired guy and we are in the middle of a war. There are countless grey robots on wheels attacking our red bipedal robots. I ask two japanese men to train me in the art of fighting, but they ignore me. Two other men come to me and train me using various tools and exercises. I become strong and I grow muscles. Then, our red robots are being killed one after the other and the cause appears to be lost.

 

Almighty Perv’

This dream had an extremely long lucid part. I even told myself, during the dream ” Man, this lucid experience is getting quite long! “.

 

I am in a house. It appears a party has been going on for many hours and now people are sleeping everywhere; in the available beds, in the bath and even on the floor. Some are awake but they seem tired. I walk in a room and there’s this guy with a big black beard fondling a girl’s breasts. When the girl sees me, she gets mad at me but the guy just tells her to shut up because ( apparently ) this is my house. Next to them is a girl sleeping, and since I feel naughty, I chose to undress her. When she’s completely naked, I get tired of this, and I leave the house. The lucid part started at that point and I can’t see any sort of factor which could have made this dream lucid – it just popped up like that, I figured out I was dreaming ( perhaps is it because I just totally undressed an unknown girl, something I’d never do, something which seemed somewhat impossible? ). In any way, I first wanted to destroy the place, but the two girls ( the one who was sleeping and the one with a guy ) come to me ( the naked one now fully clothed ). They start bitching me and they tell me that I’ve been acting like a perv’ and everything ( obviously my conscience playing a part here ). Since I know I am dreaming, I pay very little attention to them, but them I chose to try something. I grab their arms and I make them turn to ashes. I walk towards the exit of the house and I find them back in the garden and they come back to me. I do the same thing by grabbing their arms. At this point I figure out that I am wasting time with this dream and the thought that this lucid dream is getting pretty long crosses my mind. I close my ” dream eyes “ in an attempt to teleport myself to another area. I try to imagine the ” Crossroads ” ( see the dedicated page on this to know what I’m talking about ) and I recreate the environment with that blue receptionnist and everything but then I feel like this is useless and I begin to recreate another environment – a forest but I wake up!!!

 

A new lucid dream attack!

Hey, I’m back. The blog will return to its daily activities for a couple of weeks, now.

 

I had two lucid dreams while I was gone. In both of them, I have created a new form of attack to eradicate everything in my sight! I don’t know where this thirst for lucid dream destruction will lead me but it seems that I am getting more powerful as time goes. The attack consists of a very large white ball of ” molecules “. I do not throw them by using my body like the beams. I summon them at will wherever I want them. They start as small balls about 6 feet large ( and tall ) and then they explode, covering pretty much everything that I can see within the dream. The effect is devastating. The enemies who find themselves within this ball disintegrate and disappear. The landscape flattens and all obstacles are blown away. The ball is very similar to a golf ball made out of multiple other smaller balls. It looks a lot like pixelised 3d graphics. The first time I used them was in a dream in which I was attacked by multiple armies of giants and other dinosaur-like creatures. I began to beam them away, but they seemed to come in an infinite number so I told myself that I should create something infinite as well and that’s when I decided to form this ball of white energy. The second time, I was a spy in a complex and I was discovered by the security. I got out of the building and blew the entire building away.

 

Warrior visions

I see two armies. Both of them are separated by a small sea. I fly around, looking at them at a great distance. One army is about to launch a naval strike. At the middle of the sea, there is a boat full of warriors, but it seems that they are scouting the area to prevent the fleet from being attacked. It seems that the warriors attacking are Mongols and that they are invading Japan. The sea is grey with a brown mist hovering all around. It gives the whole vision a “ sepia ” look. To many Mongols, Genghis Khan died but accessed the status of a holy being, a god. Perhaps am I Genghis Khan looking at Kublai Khan’s army?

I then find myself in a golden palace with diamonds on the walls and silvery pillars. I have a small group of warriors behind me. We are all bearing different colors. Our armors are full of precious stones. My own armor is white and golden and I have two small, very sharp swords. I have an helmet and a mask. From my knowledge on medieval japan I believe that I am Takeda Shingen, a legendary ( yet real ) warrior who was renowned for his fierce and courageous nature. We arrive in front of a throne and there is an emperor who is hiding behind his personal guard. They are all red samurais. On the left and right of us, there are two groups of warriors who are now attacking us. On the left, there are warriors wearing armors with the same colors: black, green and white. They all have yari spears. I cut their yaris with my swords and I manage to kill many of them, but then I see that my warriors are behind killed by the other group on the right. They are red and white samurais wielding no-dachi swords ( very long katanas ). I manage to kill many of them, executing feats only a skilled warrior could execute. I jump very high and I run very quickly, attacking and slaying my enemies and then I wake up.
