Night

I'm at this camp place with some of my friends from Primary school. We're walking around looking at all of the tents, and it seems more refugee-like than a military camp style. We walk up and down these rows looking at the tents (some were shops) for a while, until we reach a vehicle. Its like a cross between a boat and and car, and I'm pretty sure the ground keeps changing between water to dirt. When the night begins to come we stop the vehicle and make a fire. After the fire is made I take out some sort of spirit and begin to drink. When I look around I realise that I'm in Leaderville, in the car park next to the HipE club. Although everything is different, its like nature has taken over a bit, and where there should be tarmac there's dirt.

Now Cinty is with me and I'm beginning to get drunk. We decide to go into the club and walk towards it. Don't think I ever make it, because On my way I'm called over by somebody to my right to work behind the bar. I have to climb this wooden ladder to get to the bar and work for a couple of hours (although it doesn't seem like that long). At the end of my shift I'm talking to another bartender and he says he started at 7. I was annoyed because I'm friends with the boss, yet he still gave me less hours than some new guy. I get out of the bar and realise its starting to become early morning.

I feel intoxicated now and begin to walk back to my hotel room. Now my environment seems like a resort in Bali or something. By the time I reach the building where my room is, I'm rather drunk and struggle to walk straight or see clearly. When I get to my door, I hear some noise from around the corner and I investigate. There's kids running around the place in bathing attire getting excited to go to the pool. I wonder exactly what time it is, when I realise the sun is beginning to come up. Shit I've been up all night, and try to get to bed. But then one of the mum's gives me this really evil look, probably because she doesn't want some drunk guy around the kids.

Something happens and instead of going inside my hotel room, I end up next to the pool. I can hear a kid yelling for help, but can't see where from. Eventually I find him and see that his stuck on the water fall and his head just got pulled underwater. I jump in and as soon as I hit the water I sober up. Grab the kid by the shirt he was wearing and lift him out. The mum thanks me and the scene changes......

Its night time again although I'm not drunk this time. I'm with Cinty again, and somebody's just told me I have a lethal case of epilepsy. They said I won't be able to live to morning. I'm not as depressed as I thought I'd be about the end of my life, although I'm not looking forward to the pain. Now I'm on this reclined chair and there's a light in front of my eye's. Cinty is on my left holding my hand and I realise I'm just about to have a fit. I realise this is supposed to kill me, but I fight it anyway. As the convulsions start I tense up my body trying to gain some sort of control of my muscles. But this is very difficult and I only manage to minimise the extent of the shaking. The convulsions get stronger and stronger and at some stage I realise I need to localise the fit so I try to push all of the shaking into my right arm. Its hard though because it feels like my arms is trying to rip itself apart into lots of little pieces and it hurts! Once I feel like I've got all the fit localised into my right forearm I somehow push it out of my body. My arm erupts into a mass of electricity and it shoots out of my hand. Again this hurts a lot as I fire this electricity out of my arm onto the wall.....

I take a few moments to try and relax my body, as its really tense from when I first tried to control the shaking. Cinty is still standing next to me, and she has this absolutely shocked expression on her face. After I feel as if the immediate danger is gone I get up, tell Cinty I'm fine now, and we walk outside. I'm back in Leaderville and there's some sort of street party going on. Although its not contained by the police, and there's a lot of illegal drinking going on. We find some friends and chill with them for a bit as we enjoy a show being played on a stage.

Cheating

I'm out with a bunch of people and they're all getting rather drunk. A girl from my old Primary school is there and its nice catching up with her. Later in the afternoon she says she wants to show me something. We end up going to a bedroom and she pulls something out of the draw. It was something petty and sme moves it to kiss. Me I tell her no, but she keeps trying. Eventually I get up and walk to the bathroom because I spilt something over my hands. I go outside and find Cinty. She's really angry/sad and when I ask her about it, she says she saw me going into the bedroom with the girl. I try to explain my side of the story, but she's too upset to hear me out. I'm a little annoyed because if she would just let me explain, we both wouldn't have to be feeling so horrible.

Shot

I'm inside this prison cell with two other inmates. They're forcing me to play Russian roulette and the other guy ends up shooting himself. Although seconds after his death prison guards come into the cell. I was pushed against the wall and one of the guards pulled out his gun and shot me in the stomach. I push him away and he shoots me in my chest and again in my leg. The pain was excruciating and I think the feeling similar to being stabbed. I fell to the floor trying to comprehend the damage done and whether or not i'd survive. I realise I should be next to dead if i was shot in the heart, so I can rule out the fatal shot and focus on the fact that I still might survive this. I look around and see that the other inmate has also been shot and they're carrying him out of the room. Next thing I feel is being carried away and into the medical ward. The bed has already been taken by the other inmate, and they don't know where to put me. I tell them to put me on the floor so I can lie down (since it hurt more hanging from my hands and feet).

Time passes and I become increasingly more delirious. When I hear the door open I look up and realise the bed is empty, I conclude the other inmate must've died, when a doctor appears above me. He has a needle in his hand and explains that he needs to take the bullets out and stitch me up. I nod my head and he injects this stuff into my leg. I can feel it entering me and its really uncomfortable. He pulls the needle out and I realise the metal end piece is missing. He looks a bit shocked, but I yell at him that I don't care about that right now and to just get onto saving me regardless of the pain.

My dreams have been really weird lately.... it seems that almost all of my dreams are nightmares. As in whenever I recall my dreams they have these negative traits, and my girlfriend keeps telling me I'm squirming in my sleep.
And now its got to the point we're Its like i'm almost used to it, where I had two nightmares last night: 1. i broke my neck diving into a pool and almost drowned and 2. I somehow managed to climb this piece of rope 100km into the atmosphere and then fell off.

They should be nightmares but the dreams lack the.... horribly scary feeling, and with these dreams i'm just in a lot of pain/a little scared.

Sounds like you might just be moving back and forth in and out of your body while you're sleeping arliatis, which is causing the diving and falling dreams, so iadr would view these dreams as a positive thing. If the nightmares change from falling to someone chasing you and you having a difficult time getting away, that would be different, but the falling dreams are possibly just caused by your moving back and forth in and out of your body while you're sleeping.

[arliatis]

I wouldn't say anything bad is happening in my life at the moment, if anything things are going good. So still not really sure whats causing the negative vibe.
They are very general dreams though in that the negativity isn't very specific, its just like falling and getting hurt in different places and such.

Leavers

I'm at Leavers again and with pretty much the same people I was with almost 2yrs ago. It has the same vibe to it, in that everybody is just drunk and having a good time. I remember where we were staying was enclosed in this resort like place, and everybody was just sleeping on the floors of big open rooms, with Japanese like architecture. At one stage I was walking around the complex sober just looking around the place. I remember finding white envelopes with money in them and one of them had $70 in it. As I was walking back to the room, I bumped into the man who owned the place and had a chat to him. I forget about what but he seemed understanding of why all the kids were running around wasted and causing trouble. When I got back to the room I was really tired and just wanted to fall asleep. But everybody was just getting up for the day as the sun was coming up and made it difficult for me to fall asleep.

Cinty Dies/Murderer

I'm at uni with Cinty next to me, and we're walking to class. Its not my normal uni as its just pretty much one massive marble building that looks really cool. We bumped into a few other people, and we organised to do something later on tonight. When We got to class It was the same format as it was during high school, having another 2 classes before lunch started. We had PE now and it was mixed martial arts. I was looking forward to it, until i realised that the only other guy in the class was Josh A, and was already very good at fighting. I didn't really mind though and accepted that I was probably going to get heavily bruised. Although the dream sort of got weird here, so I'll try my best to explain it.

(I watched an episode of Doctor Who yesterday, the one with Matt Smith and they inhale some hallucinogenic substance which causes them to go in and out of two dreams. Pretty much the same thing here except me and Cinty didn't know they were dreams).
So We entered the class and before I know it the scene had changed and I was in a room mainly made up of water with balancing beams just above the surface. There were 2 people on each beam and the idea was to try and make the other person fall off. The only problem was that me and Cinty kept changing scenes and in the 'dream' we weren't experiencing, we became unconscious.

After a while Cinty and I started losing consciousness at different times.... Next thing I know is i'm in the water room, and see Cinty collapse and fall into the water. I realise that she's going to drown and dive in after her. The water is very deep and it takes me 20secs to catch up to her. She's completely unconscious and I'm starting to stress, because she would've breathed in water by now. Grabbing her by the waist and moving her onto my shoulder I kick towards the surface. When I get close to the surface I begin to feel myself lose consciousness. I resist enough to take a breath of air and try to push Cinty onto one of the beams. But I fall just before I can balance her and as I sink into the water I can see her body following me..... Wake up in the other room and see Cinty on the ground. She seems dead and I start CPR hoping that If I make her artificially breathe in this 'dream' she will in the other. For some reason I can't seem to get my mouth properly around hers, and a lot of the air I'm breathing into her comes straight out.....

Time passes and I'm standing in the entrance of the normal room, with Cinty next to me. I go up to her with a huge amount of relief that she's still alive. I ask her what happened and she said she died and woke up here. I asked her to describe in more detail what happened and she just explained that it was painful and she isn't looking forward to going through it again. Some girl next to us passes by and says that dying is peaceful and easy. I turn around and tell her thats wrong, its just what the movies make it out to be, its actually rather painful and uncomfortable.....

Now I'm outside on a main road and walking towards a supermarket. I see a kid shooting a gun at police parked across the road and run into the store. I walk in too and try to find him. I see him and run up behind him. He see's me and runs away. I'm chasing him through the store and eventually managed to tackle him to the ground and kick the gun away. A mate of mine is also with me and we put him inside this box. We pull the box to the entrance of the store and when we get there find that the kid escaped. At this stage I've taken on some of the Doctor's identity, but primarily still myself. Then I turn around to see the kid again, but this time with the gun pointed at my 30m away. I run out of the store as shots are fired at me and manage to evade them. I turn left into this Alice and Wonderland like street. Its really cool, but don't have time to look at it as i try to find somewhere to hide. But there's just an open field with a couple of tree's. I see Brandon there and we decide to hid behind one of them. I tell him the kid doesn't want him just me, and that if he could pretend like his just walking and tell me what the kid is doing. It doesn't really look and I take a peak to see the kid walking straight towards me. I run towards a forrest 100m away.

Now It gets weird again and I can hear what the kid is thinking. He knows that I can see some police, and I'm going to ask for their support. So he takes out a sniper rifle and shoots 4 officers. Something happens and now I'm the kid. I'm not in control of the body just there and I can hear his thoughts. He doesn't want anything apart from chaos (just like the Joker from batman). His walking through a rough path in the forrest and something cuts his neck open. He doesn't even care that his bleeding profusely, and is going to die if he doesn't treat it. The kid walks across a field to a stable where his surrounded by police an just laughs..... 

Screw

I'm looking at a screw and realise that I'm dreaming because I keep on winding it up but it never stops and just keeps growing.

Treasure\Matrix

I'm a part of a team in which we're climbing this really big mountian. We have to go through a tunnel made of ice and I tell everybody to turn on their lights as it got rather dark. As we exited I noticed something in the corner of my eye, and I grabbed of torch off the person next to me. Shining it on the wall I see that its covered in skulls. It was really freaky and I realise we've just walked into a trap, and this would explain what would've happened to the previous trips. All of a sudden I have an OBE and I feel my body collapse in the snow.

Now I'm exactly where I was before except my body and team is not there anymore. I look at the entrance of the tunnel and see this massive monster thing. Its made of rock with hot magma burning on the inside which makes its skin glow red. In its right hand its holding a huge sword. It walks towards me explaining that he is going to eat my entire team one by one. For some reason I'm not very scared, and prepare myself to fight. The monster first sends his minions in, but I easily fight them off and pick up one of their swords. I fight the monster for what seems a very long time, and eventually kill him. After I kill him I see the cave light up and I have another OBE.

I wake up back in my 'real' body with my team all around me. I asked what happened and they said I passed out for an hour. I look over to the tunnel and see that its shining like it was in the other rhelm. I walk inside and see that the walls are covered in treasure. I tell everybody to empty all of their bags and fill it up with the treasure. Somebody wants to keep walking up the mountain, and I tell them to screw it, we're not leaving this trasure unguarded.

Now I'm back in Perth and I'm going about my life worrying about the safety of my treasure....

I'm standing on top of this building and I'm looking down across the street at Cinty, who is being dragged along by Smith (from the Matrix). I realise I'm also in the matrix and that I can bend the laws of my surroundings. I fly down and follow him up some stairs that lead into a building. Smith shoots at me but the bullets don't kill me. I mention that I can be shot to death, but he keeps firing, because the bulets still feel like getting hit by paintballs. eventually I get Cinty back and the dream ends.

Been a very long time but here goes:

Afterlife

I'm on some sort of school camp. Where in the middle of the desert with a base camp on a small farm house. We're just heading off for another day trip when something happens. It goes black and all of a sudden I'm on the other side of the rusty barbed wire fence. I'm confused and look around. Now I'm inside a hallway with a few small windows, that show the school group. Then an old man comes over to me and says something. I can't remember what, but after the conversation I realise I've died and this is the 'mid-way' towards the afterlife. This isn't the first time i've been to this mid place and I'm a bit bummed mainly because I didn't get to say good bye to my Gf.... but the man told me I can communicate with them through the windows.

So i run around looking for my Gf and finally see her. I bang a little bit too hard and it almost smashes the window. This angle-like lady looks at me annoyed but understandingly as if to warn me not to brake the glass. Cinty see's me and I savour her face, words can't be heard through the glass. The others are walking further down another hallway and I realise I'll need to go with them if i don't want to get lost in this half-way place.....

Fuck that, and I smash through one of the larger windows landing back into reality. Grabbing Cinty's hand we run. We keep running until we hit Perth, and I'm happy enough that the.... angel's? have lost me. Its 10 in the morning and we're now dressed in clothes like we'd just been clubbing. I go back to my old work but the staff are packing up and I don't really feel like staying and talking. Vanne passes us and I ask him to call a taxi for us. I think he turns into a taxi driver.

surprised i remember so much, hopefully this'll be easier than I anticipated to start up again

Germany

I'm with Cinty and we're staying with C and J (fragmented recall). I'm on a train heading either to Munich or Pf. Now we're with C and J and we're discussing what we're going to do for the last few nights in Germany. Its snowing outside and we're walking past a deserted children's playground. Now we're at a building site and Nick is there building Cinty's new family house. Its got an interesting security system, in that on the outside the house looks normal, but behind the walls there's a really complicated system.

Now I'm in a 3rd person view playing a computer game. Its really bad and I stop playing quickly. Now I'm in this really run down city, where everything is rusting and breaking down. I go through a tunnel that goes under the river and leads to an industrial area. I see some girls I met in Ibiza and I explain the advertisement on the billboard. I own the billboard and need to investigate its stability. I open the door and climb up the ladder. I can hear people talking and realise they aren't going to be happy to see me. Getting to the top I have a talk with the people and worry about falling the 10m to the ground.

[arliatis]

Party

I'm in this house a bit out of town, either for work or vacation I can't remember. Cinty is with me and we chill for a bit. Next thing I know is that some of the guys are round and we start having a few drinks. Now I'm drunk and there's a lot of noise coming from out the front. Everybody is outside (there's more people now) and I have to tell them to come inside otherwise we'll piss off the neighbours. As the night goes on I become progressively drunker, and I have to keep going outside and make everybody go inside......

Wake up in a bed with Cinty next to me. Can't remember much of what happened and walk into the rest of the house, as Cinty is still sound asleep. The place isn't as bigger mess as I thought it would be, and people as passed out everywhere. I walk outside and now I'm back at 'my house' in Perth. For some reason I still feel like partying and wake up everybody in the house. I tell them to ring peoples to have a session during the day. Next thing I know I'm drunk again and my house and yard is filled with people. Even a DJ is there and his playing really good music. I stumble around mingling to people for a long time and walk back inside. There's a casino there now and the bright lights and noises are really cool.

I go to the front of the house and see that children are just leaving school for the day. I feel kinda bad because all the mum's are giving me bad looks, annoyed that i've been making noise all through out the night and continued it through the day. But when I look closely a lot of them are just laughing at it, and I don't feel bad anymore. Somehow I managed to climb on top of my roof and look down it the crowd below. Its late afternoon and the sun is just about to fall below the horizon. The lighting, the music, the people, the atmosphere is really amazing and I realise it would make a perfect picture. So I look around for my camera and realise I have no idea where its gone. Meg comes to the front and picks it off the ground and throws it at me. Think I wake up before I take the picture :(

Music Festival

I'm at the Big Day Out music festival. I've successfully entered the venue and make my way towards the bar. Cinty and a bunch of other people are with me and we decide to get wasted. Going over to the bar its more of a house and its a bit like my dream before, crowded with people. Its great fun as I don't have to pay for the drinks (I managed to smuggle some in) and just drink them talking to people. Before I know it I'm out and I bump into Reece. Turns out its his house and offers me a drink. Taking it from the bathroom sink filled with cold water which used to be ice, I notice that somebody's but bottles down the toilet. Tell Reece sorry for whoever did that and walk off.

Now we've decided to go and dance so we run over to the nearest stage. Its empty though and I don't understand why as their music is great. Even Chris is dancing which is really rare for him, especially to electronic music. I've found some way to hover above these fans and its really fun, so I do this gliding from one side of the stage to the other for a while. Its starting to get late now and I need to go to the toilet. I find them but they're disgusting. Somehow I manage to tip over the toilet box thing, and security comes over to me. I try to act as sober as I can and explain that it wasn't my fault and that it was a safety hazard to begin with (to be fair it wasn't my fault something was dodgy about the set up). The security guard believes my story and doesn't kick me out of the festival Getting back to the group we wait for our favourite act to come on. I'm feeling rather sober after the incident with the toilet and me Cinty and Toni decide to take some E.

The artist comes on stage (can't remember who) and begins to play and its really good, and then the effects start to kick in. Midway through the performance Toni turns around and kisses me. I'm confused and make it clear to Toni that I'm not interested in cheating on Cinty no matter how high I am. I turn to Cinty and explain that Toni kissed me not the other way. I'm expecting her to get really upset, but instead Toni and Cinty start making out.... (Oh Toni is a girl by the way). Then we all started marking out at the same time.... hard to explain but it was like we all melted into each other.

That was a fun night, not very often i get the complete opposite of a night filled with nightmares
