Hi no Seijin

Yeah, my nightmares are me being attacked by wild animals, and more often than not they're just weird nightmares.

Mm so I had this pretty... weird dream last night. (I should totally start a dream journal because of how lame/awesome some of my dreams are)

I went to a... taxidermy zoo? They had animals there, but it was also this celebration of taxidermy and using dead animals for things. Anyway, that's not the point, since it was so fleeting. No, what started it was this... restaurant in the zoo. It allowed one to clean and eat your own meat. In front was a man in a white suit with a pile of flayed rabbits, inviting people inside.

They had a dispenser for dead animals, and someone would hand you a dead rabbit or deer or turkey or whatever. And they would slit the skin just above the neck, exposing the muscle/meat. Before you began, you had to take a bite out of the base of the neck to "kill it." Then you went to a man who would skin the animal for you. And then a man who would take the intestines out. And then a man who put the animal on a machine, which would suck the meat off and leave you with a bunch of bloody bones.

And then they gave you a raincoat and led you to a landfill, and this landfill had so many... conveyers, with people using them as escalators.  With dead animals just laying by their feet as they held their own animal bones, waiting to toss it. The landfill itself was just FILLED with skulls and skeletons and smelled of rotting flesh. Not even seagulls or vultures hung around.

I got lost and didn't know where to dump my animal at, and I eventually was scolded by staff, who threatened to make me the next meal.

Wow Fisk, you always have very... interesting... dreams.  I'm jealous.

Last night I had a very interesting dream.  It took place in the hidden valley of Kaz.

Kaz was shrouded in mist and hidden from anyone smart enough not to climb down the two mountains that formed the valley-- both of the mountains were treacherously rocky and filled with hateful predators in every nook and cranny.  I climbed down the northmost mountain, miraculously avoiding the predators and managing to cling to the near-shear rock face the entire way down.

When I reached the bottom, I came across a small village, shrouded in mist with a sign sticking out of the ground that read "Kaz'Ashir" -- loosely translated in the language of my imagination, this means Realm of the Weather God.  I had apparently reached the village just in time for their annual celebration.  There were massive banners everywhere covered in the same language as earlier, each saying something to the effect of "festival of light".

I wandered the streets, marveling in the festivities, until I came to the home of the local chieftain.  I knocked on the side of the doorway, and was admitted in.  I asked him what the celebration was about, and he answered.
"Our village lies in this basin, coated with water, but it never rains.  It is against our religion to harvest the mist that surrounds us, because that mist is made of the tears of our ancestors, our family, our friends, and all manner of lost souls.  This festival was started to help send those souls back to the heavens, and to bring us rain at last.  It is done every year on the summer solstice, as this is the holiest of days for our god, Kazo."

I nodded my comprehension, thanked him, and was about to leave, when he called out, "You are a stranger to these lands.  We were beginning to think one would not come this year."  I was confused.  He elaborated.  "Since the beginning of our festival, a new soul has always emerged from the mists to join us in our festivities.  He is given the highest honors and is the centerpiece of the festival.  This is why I was not surprised by your arrival."

He put his arm around me, walked me outside his home, and heralded my arrival.  The festival-goers cheered, welcoming me with open arms and adorning me with jewels of all kinds, and when I looked down I was already in a robe suited for royalty.  They carried me to a throne in the middle of the town where I sat, trying my best to look humble yet regal.

"Let the finale commence!" the chieftain cried, and the citizens flocked into their homes, boarded their windows, and stared out at me through any gaps available.  Their leader donned a strange suit of rubber, and pulled from somewhere two massive live wires.  I became frightened, and started to struggle, but in all the celebration I never noticed that my hands and feet were bound.  He looked upon me with an appreciative smile, and said "Thank you for your sacrifice," then shouted to the heavens, "spirits!  Your ticket to god has been paid in blood!  Return now to whence you came, and be free!  The time of salvation is upon you and us all!"

He thrust the wires into my flesh, and the resulting electrical charge ignited all the moisture in the air, frying the entire valley.  I died instantly, and left my body to watch the resulting miracle.  The air was clear of all mist, and massive stormclouds brewed in the sky from the sudden evaporation.  Rain poured with tremendous fury, very rapidly filling the reservoirs and canteens laid out by the villagers.  As I began to ascend to the heavens, freed from my mortal shell, the villagers slowly crept out of their homes and waved at me, cheering and shouting my name.  I may have been killed by these people, but I was their savior.

A very odd dream indeed.

Last night I felt like I got little to no sleep. Why you ask? Because I had a nightmare. Not just any nightmare though. Let me tell you guys what's up- I love nightmares. They're thrill rides where everything is okay in the end. Like a scary movie you can live, and wake up in your bed when it's over. But this nightmare... This wasn't cool at ALL because I couldn't wake up from it- or rather whenever I thought I had, I really hadn't. It was the most vivid and terrifying nightmare I've ever had because it's the only one I've ever been unable to wake from. Everything I'm about to tell you felt like it was really happening- like there was no element that allowed me to realize I was in a dream- it was too chillingly realistic. Here's what happened.

* * *

I was going through some of my magic cards in my room. My friend called and asked me to look through the shoe-boxes for four "Giant Growth" cards. That was fine, since I was building a dragon deck, and was looking through the shoe-boxes anyhow. My mom busted into my room and exclaimed that the Queen of England had just died. This was huge news, even though she was like in her mid 80's and it was bound to happen soon. I rushed to their room and the TV was static and they were both gone. Suddenly, the world ended. A lot of people were gone, and the news ran a broadcast even though some of them were missing too. I walked outside, and it was dark like it should be, but there were teenagers everywhere. My phone was buzzing with my friends calling and asking me to meet them in the park. That was fine, I just had to go get my sister.

I ran back up the stairs and she was gone too. I didn't want to be alone, so I threw some clothes on and drove to the park. Turned out I drove to the wrong park, and had to double back to the other park (these are the kinds of things that make a dream feel more realistic- mistakes). I got to the park and there were teenagers everywhere. They had drinks, and there was food, and it was like a party. My friends Sean and David found me, and Sean's girlfriend was with him. She, for some reason was really calm. We discussed what happened while we walked with her (I don't know where she was going) but we lost track of her. Sean was worried about his girl the same way I was worried about mine. I couldn't get a hold of her, and she lives about a half hour away. I was really worried about her, and I was beginning to have thoughts about what happened. All the good people had been taken to heaven- the rapture had happened, and I was left behind. I realized that the "party in the park" was full of sluts and douche bags- the kind of party I'm thankful I never found myself at. Things started to spin, and I realized I was in a dream- a nightmare.

I woke myself up, and I was back in my bed- the bad news, I was still in the clothes that I had on during the dream (but I didn't realize that right away). It was like two in the morning, but I didn't care. I was really shaken up by the dream and I walked to my sister's room. She was still there. I went to my parents' room next- and they were both up watching TV. I was pretty shocked about that, since it was like two in the morning and they didn't have lives. They, for some reason, were astounded to see me awake as well. I sat down on their bed and started to tell them what happened in the dream. I opened my cell phone to text my friend and there was a pentagram where the background of my phone normally was. I instinctively dropped the phone in shock, and now I felt like crying. THAT really freaked me out, because I'm a pretty dedicated Christian. I turned around and my dad was where my mom was before- and he was also where he was originally. A doppleganger of my dad was sitting next to him staring at me with my mother's concern.

I got out of bed and grabbed my head. I then realized that I was still dreaming. I tried to wake up again, but I couldn't. I was trapped inside my head. I stumbled into my parent's closet (which is pretty big, about the size of a small room). My knees hit the floor as I held onto my head. I didn't know why I couldn't wake up, and I was so scared. I noticed a light in the corner of the room behind some clothes that were on hangers. I moved the clothes away and there was a kid sitting there texting. I couldn't tell who he was, but he looked up and said "hi." I fell through the floor into a pit of darkness, and I fell and fell until I hit some kind of floor. It hurt. It hurt. I've never felt extreme amounts of pain in my dreams. I was pretty well freaked out at this point. I didn't know what was going on, but I was hearing demonic laughter. Laughter- I was starting to cry.

Then I woke up. Thank God almighty it was light outside. It was around 9 am and I was really shaken. I was the only one home, but I was alright. I couldn't go back to sleep. That wasn't an option. I didn't want to get trapped in my head again, because it turns out that my head is a scary place. I didn't know what to do, so I just got up and got some cereal. What's even scarier than that? I looked up dream meanings about what causes you to not be able to wake up from a nightmare. The answer I got?

"It's because you're having an out of body experience."

...Dang. D:

Where did you get the dream interpretation, anyway?

Yahoo answers.
I typed in "What does it mean when you can't wake up from a dream?" into the Google search box, and it's the second link down.

DAAAAANG

What I would give to have an out of body experience of my own. My Dad had one when he was 14. He went right through the wall.

Which reminds me...

I had a dream once where someone broke into our house and shot my sister. My Dad then tied the guy up when he wasn't looking, pinned him to a chair, and handed me a revolver to "finish the job". I said I didn't want to. I wasn't, for some reason, feeling any emotion towards this man even though he had wounded (or killed, I don't know) my sister. After several attempts, he finally gave up, stepped back, and without hesitation, blew the guys brains out in front of me. Once again, I showed no emotion.

I'm really glad I woke up right after that. Most of my dreams always seem to involve murder, war, sex, or school for some reason. I'm afraid to look up why.

I had a dream last night. In a nutshell, it reminds me how pathetic my love life is. XD

It's not THAT bad.

What happened to you're 120% chances?

It's still under a raincheck. Still, the dream was nice, at least. =w=

Hi no Seijin

So, the night before Christmas Eve, I dreamt I was in a plane.  I woke up, but went back to sleep, where I dreamt the plane was about to crash into a city; Washington D.C., I think.  I woke up again and went back to sleep again, where I finished the plane dream by dreaming it was out of the city and climbing back up in the air.

Then on the night before Christmas, I couldn't remember any dreams, just the impression that my sub-conscious was trying to have several dreams at once.
