Dreams from the Aether

Buckle up Buckaroo, this is just the tip of the iceberg…

I am in a car park. It is daytime. I am reading some sort of online article. The article appears to be about Confucian meditation techniques but when I inspect the text more it appears to be more about Daoist meditation and breathing practices (or maybe its both to some extent). The author is complaining that despite the good books on Daoist advice on topics such as child raising and emotional regulation none have discussed techniques to live forever

This may also be a good reality check for you. Seems like a theme that has occurred a few times in your dreams, along with video games. Anytime during the day you are engaging with philosophical or Spiritual topics of interest, or playing games, do a Reality Check

I am watching Korra from the Leged of Korra she is flying or floating with other beings above a forest.

I am running around by some buildings and in some abstract black and red place all jumbled together. Images of a red spaceship looking a bit crystalline in nature. A narrative in my head about civilisation warring. Something about the Men of earth, air, fire, water and aether. The men of aether where the most powerful civilisation until they were attacked by hitherto unknown men of gold. Or maybe it was the men of aether who were waging war.

I am in a grey building, gathered round a screen talking to people on spaceships. I see some star trek like uniforms (next Generation onwards)

I am in a cinema late at night. A barrier has been erected around the entrance area, loads of people are here for an event. Something happens, they all get angry, I have a bad feeling about this, I go to my car to leave.

Horror related imagery became very gruesome eventually causing me to wake up a couple of hours after I went to sleep. I don’t want to record them.

I am walking outside down a path. I come by a long hut sized building. Some people are outside sat at tables. A sign draped on a railing advertises some sort of gym (there’s a picture of dumbbells on it). I go inside and look around but I cannot find any easily recognisable gym. I talk to someone at a counter. Something about them not having a working fridge.

I am talking to someone behind a counter at night. I hand him some big slices of meat.
I am watching he movie the Kid who Would be King where a group of children battle the Arthurian witch Morgana Lay Fay in the modern world. The hero defeats her in a way I and my companions find lame. I am walking around the back garden of my home thinking about it.

I am sat next to my Dad in the passenger side of the car. He is driving around the streets by our home. It is night. I see the name of a song he is playing (it begins with a D) I ask if I is based on War and Peace. He says yes. I tell him that War and Peace was originally engraved onto metal then tell him the same was true of the Russian Novel Dead Souls by Nikolai Googol. I also tell him how we only have part 1 of Dead Souls.

I am reading a Wikipedia article on my phone about a horror story by Nikolai Googol. Bizarrely towards the end of the summary it says that different versions of the telling have different endings and that this summary will go with the version told by Aristotle.

Apart from The Legend of Korra I have not seen or read any of the real world media that was mentioned in my dreams last night. I have read about them. Though why would my mind bring up 19th century Russian Literature I read about months or years ago is currently unknown to me.

Anyway here is the actual Wikipedia page for the horror story mentioned at the end of the last post:

Excellent idea!
This will also give extra lucidity in these situations.

I am outside, I talk to people.

That is currently all I remember from last night.

I am in some sort of underground facility. Possibly related to the SCP Foundation (online collaborative horror). There’s this underground street. I talk to people. I am now stood in front of some large vault like door. A woman is talking to me. I am now in some sort of cutscene as a guy talks about how while his job in that sector had been great (especially when he gave drugs to the people there) he prefers his new one. As he speaks my point of view moves through these dimly lit corridors, with some grey aliens walking through it. Entering a dimly lit area where an alien appears to be on a hospital bed giving birth. Thankfully I cannot see much.

I am in another game. I am working in some sort of run-down restaurant. I have to run up and down a stairwell to collect meat deliveries to take back up. At on point when talking to the head of the place I see there is an option to remove all the horror elements. Also on the stairwell immediately below the place where I start is the deep fryer being ran by a woman with long dark hair. I jump into the fryer at one point and my view switches to third person and I get a Steam Achievement for doing so. I eventually realise the woman is the bad guy.

Well seems like al those years of watching people play horror games on YouTube has finally caught up with me.

I am outside, in a row of variously coloured stalls and tend. Like at a market or maybe a fair. It is daytime, people are walking around.

I am watching something online. Seems to be clips from episodes of Doctor Who being broadcast by a channel by the name of padlobor (or something else beginning with P). Not sure what is going on, it’s a 10th doctor adventure, they meet soldiers in white armour. I meet Dad who has been experiencing the same thing. For some reason we both keep seeing broadcasts from this apparently foreign channel.

I am in the courtyard of a building. In the corner I see a man and a woman arguing with someone in a booth about something. My point of view switches between me being there and watching a YouTube video about the couple who were arrested. Something involving fraud and then trying to flee to another country.

I am in a video game. I am with a group on a stone walkway at night facing off against some sort of monster. I am originally a wizard but switch to being a Dwarf warrior I end up grabbing a pole sticking out of the side of the monster which now looks like a moving house. I am now inside a building, we are playing anthropomorphised mice in the home of a giant, which looks like a somewhat bigger rat despite the rest of the home looking much bigger (like a humans home from the perspective of a mouse). I cannot see much in detail because of the limited lighting, it is night. The giant is sleeping in their bed with a purple nightgown and nightcap on. We look around for stuff to steal.

I am in a horror game to do with golf. I am with a small group of people at the entrance to this mini golf course. It is the evening, their is a barrier lowered blocking the entrance. To the side of it is a small wooden platform with a counter and a small staff area behind it. A woman is in the process of washing what appear to be numerous white golfing shorts. Manually. I end up briefly holding on then putting them down. We manage to persuade her to let us in. I am now running around indoors. In some sort of office looking place. Though the tables and chairs seem arranged rather randomly. People are sat at a number of them. I am trying to complete the gold course while avoiding the crazy man and the trout. I have to regularly spray myself with 2 forms of repellent to keep them away. I learn I need to complete hole 4, I find it. A small green rectangle space and I somehow get it in in one hit. I learn I have to do the final hole. After some hectic running around I see a table with four guys in suits sat behind it. In the table is a hole with writing next to it labelling it as the final hole. I just grab my golf ball and drop it through. I win.

I am at a exercise class. It is daytime. I am onto a kettlebell exercise and it involves grabbing 2 kettlebells and holding them up above our heads. I am nervous.

I am online. I end up watching a video showing a point of view go really fast down this path in a n urban area. Past a bunch of corners. I see a piece of writing flash by and I go back to try and pause the video at the right time. After multiple failed attempts I slow the video down but even then I cannot make the writing out.

I listened this video today and think you will enjoy it at minute 50:

Interesting, I admit I just assumed that it was caused by my bad habit of watching horror game playthroughs on YouTube for distraction.

Meme: If I had a coin for every golfing horror game I’ve seen I would have 2 which isn’t much but its weird it happened twice.

I am in a Hogwarts looking place. In a large, darkened hall. Owls are here; it’s a Parliament of Owls. The room is now lit I am standing in a room among a council of people sat in chairs lining the rooms. I am required to engage in a duel with Rapiers with 3 other people, a young man who is dressed in a white suit and 2 young women. One is a blue dress and blonde the other is dark haired. As it begins I recall that you are supposed to stab with a rapier not slash with it. As I try to stab people the dark haired woman stabs me through with her rapier. I am annoyed. Later I see an opening and stab a dark haired woman standing in a doorway thinking it is her but it is in fact her mother. The duel is called off due to the incident.

I am on a walk outside as part of a group on some sort of school trip. We are walking in some sort of park/countryside area. Someone brings out this carriage/wheelbarrow shaped like a Venus Flytrap, the top half is removed so people can sit on it. I am scared of it and fear that touching the too bumps on it will cause it to close on you. Another woman gets on it briefly and nothing happens despite her clearly touching the bumps. It is explained that this is to help us face our fears. The blonde woman currently pushing it asks if I want to be first and I say yes. I go ahead to a gate in front of the path. It is now later, I have not been in the path, I feel guilty. Thinking about the whole purpose of a nightmare is to face our fears and overcome them. I see some of the people stood near a garage looking storage room trying to put the wheelbarrow away. One of them does something that causes it to close, now looking like a green bag wit the top closes. This freaks me out and I flee.

Well I think part of the second dream was caused by me watching that video yesterday @BlessingsDeers sent me. I’ll take a positive view of it as a showing the potential for suggestion to affect our dreams, and therefore the potential for conscious autosuggestion to help in achieving lucidity. Perhaps something to start doing.

I am walking as part of a group of people. We are walking down a street then turn and begin to enter what appears to be a park area. I think about how great it would be to switch off my consciousness so I could skip the boring part and then come too when we arrive. Though it would also be creepy, me appearing to walk and talk but there’s no one there.

I am part of a group. We are arriving to a promenade by the seafront. I worry because it is getting dark. It is late in the afternoon, so we need to be going home soon. I see some bright colourful lights and assume that these are what we are here to see. I come to realise the lights are attached to a fan that is on a patch of sand several meters out on the sea. Is it stranded?

I am reading a book. A king is talking to a tall young man (the Heir?). About things in the kingdom and responsibility. I am on a wooden platform and I go to ring a silver bell. Something about the silver bell calling the gods down to negotiate with the people. The gods have to do this because they have agreed to it. I am reading again, the king apparently hears the bell. He is somewhat annoyed. The people do not like his recent harsh measures that he deems necessary.

this was the dreamscape previous to one of my earliest super lucid dreams in January 2023.

I would say this is your inner movie director saying to you “WAKE UP…THIS IS A DREAM!” :deer:

I am walking down a street of shops. It is daytime. I pass one open shop where a group of people have gathered around a woman who is speaking. I carry on further down for some reason thinking of Michael Kirkbride’s C0da and its idea that the Elder Scrolls cannon is completely open. I reach a plant box. This one is filled with stones. I walk over it and I think I may have asked a man walking next to me how his life is going. I carry on further down the street and think about how the term Sophist became viewed so negatively. Given I originally meant teacher of excellence/wisdom.

I am online reading something.

I am in a bookstore and I see a book. A Lord of the Rings spinoff book. Something about the Rohirrim judging by the title. I do not like it.

I am sat in front of a Doctor. He is talking to me about a prescription I had and have not ordered more.

I am inside a building, I know it is owned by Egyptian magicians. Though the building looks very modern. I wonder through some sort of living quarters with stuff stuck to the walls, bits of paper and images. With beds by the side. I go through and up some stairs and find myself at a stairwell decorated in an ancient Egyptian style. At the bottom I see a Crocodile Man. Sobek the god of the Nile. He looks angry. Sobek starts to walk up the stairs and I start to flee.

I am walking around a field at night. Trying to go somewhere (home?) other people are also here walking. I struggle to see because of the darkness. I encounter one group of people gathering apparently to go for a walk but they are actually planning to go and fight this monster. I am now seeing a conversation between the guy leading the group and someone else, they were apparently successful but only he and another young woman survived and they are not sure they actually killed the thing. They plot another expedition to see if it is dead.

I am watching some sort of cartoon on YouTube. I think it might be the Simpsons, then Family Guy. But it makes no sense. I am now seeing children battling memes on a beach. They manage to force the memes t flee back on their boat but they have not been permanently defeated.

This is one of the qualities in the dream realms… there are some things that we just know! in my case, it happens even with people. The face might not correspond to the person but we know it’s the person… or we think we know… :cowboy_hat_face:
