10/17/2012 Time Travel & Lucid Glimpse

Time Travel & Lucid Glimpse.

I will start off telling you the very brief lucid dream I had two nights ago. It was really cool/awesome but short lived, it had a lot of potential.

Monday night October 15th. I had taken B6&B12 before bed with Choline and Inositol. I woke up around 7:45am and took a tsp of a special made blend I have consisting of Glycine, Lysine, and Taurine. (There is a multi vitamin made by source naturals called MegaMind, this vitamin has a great combo of nutrients in it including Taurine, Ginko, Gotu Kola, GABA and DMAE. All of those are great for vivid dreaming and the vitamin doesn't keep me awake.)
I  wanted to put that in there.


Lucid Glimpse:
This dream took place with me walking on a dirt trail or small road. There was a grassy field on both sides of me and possibly a fence on one or both sides of the road. The dream wasn't in great focus but was colorful. I was walking when I saw a small girl in front of me blocking my path. Suddenly for some reason I realized I was asleep and this was a dream, strangely I did not wake up from this discovery. I was surprised that I was still in the dream, then the little girl disappeared. A voice came over my dream, coming from many directoins. I don't know if it was my voice but it said..
" Now TK you can learn about the secrets of the universe.." 
I was now getting very exited, I am always very happy when I achieve lucidity and any level of control of a dream, but this was far out. I was tring to contain my exitment since becomeing overly exited in a dream when realizing one is asleep can lead to waking up. The voice said again...
"..Let us now explore the domain of the mind and of all that is, ..your reality...."
Now a black hole like thing started forming where the little girls once stood, it was dark and kind of purple and sucking matter inside of it, I wanted to go inside but then I woke up.
I was a little disappointed but then happily satisfied with having such a neat dream.


Time Travel:
This dream started off with me in a classroom that had its lights off but had some kind of projector on facing a wall with some kind of slide, or assignment on it. The students and I were sitting in class and doing some illogical assignment, we were finishing some class and the semester was almost over so holiday would begin soon. The teacher asked us to turn in some of our work we had had throughout that last six weeks. I was a little scared since I didn't do the work and the work I did was very unorganized. I felt like just leaving the class.
The other kids and I finished what we were doing and went to the back of the room. I was digging through papers in what must have been my desk. The papers looked like stuff I did in early high school and my organizational skills looked like myself as a fifth grader.
The teacher was kind of waiting on me to turn in my work (most of which I didn't do or finish) I think I would up throwing most of my work in the trash and leaving. *authors note, I did almost no work in school but managed to pass with straight 70's.

Now the dream changed, I was walking outside my middle school but I was my current age 21. I had spent the previous day looking at old Facebook messages and at old friends photos so maybe that is where some of this dream data originated. I was walking down the outdoor hallway and became aware that this was the school fair I was at but I was my age now, already graduated from middle school and high school.. I realized
that I had time traveled back to the past to try and change something that day. I snuck around the school looking for myself and tried not to be noticed by others, I look different than I did in middle school but I didn't want to take any chances. I had to do something different that day that would make sure later events wouldn't happen. I found myself, I was walking with my best friend at the time, I snuck behind a pole and watched them. I disappeared but I watched my best friend leaving the carnival with his Dad saying goodbye to our friends.
Now I as a middle schooler was gone, I was myself still there and had to do something different than I would have done earlier. I walked back to the room where I had just had a class earlier in the dream. This room was now an ice cream shop like Baskin Robbins. I walked around in there looking where the desks were(going to be located back in the future) The place was kind of 1950's themed. I left the store and saw one of my little sisters Shelby walking away in the distance. I ran after her but she was also running, she went up a big hill. I finally caught up to her, she was standing by a large old oak tree with two friends, they were both about 12 years old. I told Shelby that I had now changed the past and my wife in the future would now not die. Shelby seemed a little confused and maybe a little aggravated  She understood that I was from the future and somehow knew a little about what was to come. She said "That's good she is alive, I still get hooked on cigarettes. For 27 years I will smoke and get lung cancer."
I told her that that also wasn't going to happen, she wasn't going to smoke anymore. I said I wasn't going to let her smoke a cigarette and she would never start. She seemed aggravated still and I think she didn't like that I had tried to help her and was messing with the past.
Shelby doesn't smoke and probably never will even have one cigarette, I smoked but quit in January 2011, I think part of myself was mixing with Shelb.

That is the last part of the dream I remember. ALSO I DON'T really like how my dream was portraying time travel and how it was or wasn't possible. Just for the record.

Have sweet dreams,

10/11/12 Snake Attack & Going Clubbing

Dream Journal 10/11/12


Last night before bed I had drank some white grape juice with B12, Choline, and Inositol mixed with it. I also took a B6 vitamin just as i crawled into bed. After updating a hilarious post to facebook I fell asleep.


Going Clubbing:
The earliest part of my dream I remember being in a grocery store with two of my housemates Kerrie and Sarah. We were checking out a few items when both of them recognised the cashier. Sarah left to go to the bathroom because she had had some kind of previous dispute with the cashier lady. Kerrie also left. I now was at the front of the line checking out something. The cashier asked me if I knew where Sarah had gone, I told her she left "somewhere" to my surprise she told me she wasn't mad at her but thought she was a very cool person and was glad to be her friend. I was happy to hear that and told her farewell and left the store.

Once we left the store we were now with more people. There were at least five of us now. We hopped into a truck and drove away. I sat in the bed of the truck and somehow now had a sawed-off-shotgun. I don't remember if I fired the gun at all but I feel like I cocked it a few times. We parked the truck and all hopped out into a parking lot. Now we walked up to a club, I don't know if it was a nightclub or a bar (I was at a show in Denver the night before so it could have been a modeled after that venue) but I walked in with the shotgun rested over my right shoulder.

There was a bouncer in front of the club who we walked past. The club had light-brown wooden panel floors and very white walls. The people inside were dressed semi-casually and looked well groomed. We walked together through a few rooms and then climbed down a balcony to a lower level of the club. I can't remember anything after that point in the dream.


Snake Attack:
I was walking around some outdoor college campus, it slightly resembled Colorado University which I live near, but it wasn't as big.

I was looking for my Dad, I had just spoken to him on the phone and aws meeting him. Now I was sure that I was at some college campus. I found my Dad getting out of his car and we headed towards a building. He was going to introduce me to a psychology professor that used to be an employee of his(fictional dream stuff) We came to the back of a building with large doors that were locked, my Dad knocked on the doors and the professor opened the doors and let us in. We walked and talked as we went up a few flights of stairs. The professor asked me what I was interested in studying, I gave him some answer. I have not been to college but it has been in my mind lately so that makes sense this was in my dream. The teacher and my Dad went into a closed room together, apparently my Dad was having a therapy session with him which seemed unusual. I waited outside the door and walked around the nearby hallways. I saw some kids sitting in empty classrooms together talking and working together.
Then I noticed there was a four foot long black snake, it was about as thick as the small part of my wrist. It was slightly coiled up and facing me. I realized what it was and knew I was too close to it to be safe, then it flew through the air at me. I yelled and grabbed it as I fell to the floor, I held it in my hands trying to pull it away from my face. I was closing my eyes and realized it had already bit me. I threw it down the hallway and felt my face, I was bit on the left side of my chin. There was also a bite on my left hand between my thumb and pointer finger that was oozing yellow liquid, the fangs were spaced about a centimeter and a half apart.  I thought at the time that the snake was a venomous serpent known as the Cottonmouth. Wikipedia tells me this is the worlds only semi-aquatic viper. This snake is native to Austin Texas so I have seen a few before and have stayed away from them.
I knew I needed to get help medically since they can be deadly, so I went into the room where my Dad was having therapy. The professor looked at me and said I needed anti-venom quickly. I saw my Dad wipe his eyes like he had been crying. I looked back down the hallway and saw another snake was there too!
The black snake jumped me again and bit my hand again. I yelled down the hall to some kids in classrooms telling them to watch out there were snakes near.
The professor came back to the doorway and told me that I was fine and didn't need anti-venom, that I wasn't poisoned and that the other snake that showed up was a harmless corn snake.


I was happy to hear that but was still shocked from the biting. I was now leaving the building and the black snake tried to bite me again, I threw a burlap sack on top of the snakes and proceeded to leave. The snaked kept trying to bite me so reluctantly stepped on the Cottonmouth right behind its head. I felt it's head popped off under the sack and left. I felt a little bad that I killed the snake but I justified my actions as self preservation since the snake would not stop attacking me. 


fin.


I had one more dream but it is very difficult to put to words, I can't seem to explain it but see the images still. If I can write it down I will post it. BUT those were my dreams last night. Hope your day goes well.
-Sweet dreams.

10/02/12 Dream Journal: Two Spare Rooms

Dream Journal: Two Spare Rooms.
Night of Tuesday the 2nd.


I had a few dreams last night but remember one in particular  I didn't write any of them down, even in my phone sloppily upon awakening, but I believe I felt I only needed to remember this one.
I have been experimenting with a variety of different vitamins and supplements to take before bed this past year, but just recently have found some incredible combos that consistently give me either vivid, realistic, surreal or lucid dreams. On these dream journal posts I will write what I took before falling asleep.

Last night just before getting in my bed I took Choline Bitartrate, Inositol, B6, B12, and Folate. And a few hours earlier that evening I took L-Theanine, Phenibut, Picamilon, and Magnesium. All of those supplements are known for inducing vivid dreams and seem to increase the possibility of having a lucid dream. Most of those supplements are also found in a regular well balanced diet and are good for having great brain health.

*The B6, B12 and Choline combo is very good for having vivid dreams.

Two Spare Rooms:
The beginning of this dream involved me leaving my bedroom when my housemate Sarah and her friend told me they were cleaning the bathroom when they saw something strange with the wall so they tore down the wall. I came into the bathroom and they showed me the wall they destroyed and behind it there was another room! This was tooooo cool. I was in awe in my dream to discover that there was a room behind the bathroom in the basement.

Broken bathroom wall

Looking into the spare room


They left to go somewhere else as I stood and stared at the room. The room had a large glass door with two stainless steel rectangular door handles. The doom had a sunken floor( the floor was down two steps) and had brown/yellow/orange colored shag carpeting. There was a large circular rug on the ground and an old iron furnace in one corner. There was a small cloth armchair and a small couch in the room as well. The room looked very 1970's styled and looked like no one had lived there for some time.
A strange and beautiful detail about this hidden room was that it's walls were glass windows looking out into a wooded area. (mind you, this is in the basement bathroom but somehow looked out into our apparent backyard.)

looked like it was frozen from year 1970


My Dad now showed up and was talking to me as he looked the room over. He said it was a cool room with a lot of potential, we stepped inside and looked around.
*This is a noticeable feature of my dreams I see when I take B vitamins, having much greater detail in dreamscape environment  I remember the textures of this dream and the lighting and color of everything. Taking B vitamins does not mean you will have pleasant dreams, but will more often than not give you vivid dreams. If you have good dreams, they are vivid, whereas if you have nightmares they are just as vivid. I do not have nightmares often and when I do they are not too bad and usually result in me realizing I am dreaming and a lucid dream occurs. 


Me and my dad looked out over the yard outside the giant windows. It had just rained and was still cloudy, the trees canopy covered some lighting so it was dark but somehow illuminated by the greenish yellow shine of the wet grass. There were cedar and oak trees, much like there are in Austin. It reminded me of my old backyard in Austin but definitely different. Just similar foliage.


I left the room thinking that maybe we could have another person move in and cut the price off all our rents. Sarah and her friend re appeared letting me know they found another secret room. This newer room was where the stairs where. I walked through a human sized hole in the wall into a large room with tall bookshelves on the walls. The room was terraced and had a large amount of furniture in it. Now my dad was back and some other strangers. We all walked to the right (same direction as the other room's outdoor forest) and found ourselves in a much larger house with great big rooms. There was a balcony on the sides of this house that me and now my Mom walked down. I was talking with her and maybe one of my sisters at that time.
This balcony turned into a covered boardwalk over a cliff. We followed it until a the end of the boardwalk. the roof over us was gone at this point and we looked to our right and saw in a short distance to us Barton Springs Pool. This is a large spring fed pool in Austin I have swam in plenty of times. I saw people I knew diving into the water. However there was a deep canyon separating us on the boardwalk from those in the pool.

Barton Springs


I thought this was truly beautiful.


That dream then became foggy in my memory as it ended. I am actually writing this a few days later and still remember it clearly, it was a detailed vivid dream.


Hope you enjoyed this, keep dreamin'

September 2nd 2012 National Anthem

Dream Journal
Night of September 2nd 2012,


National Anthem:

In this dream I had left my old house in Austin Texas and was headed to the lake. I decided to take the back roads to the lake. I knew there was a ceremony taking place there and needed to be there early to help out. I got to a field in front of the lake (a place I used to play by as a kid) and saw some people setting up fold out chairs facing away from the water. I went over to a lady in charge, she was in her 30's and told me how I could help. She reminded me I was singing the National Anthem to open up the event.



I seemed okay with this but was still a little nervous. I remembered I wanted to help me Dad get here becuase traffic would be difficult. I walked away down a trail that had cornstalks on it's sides. A man was jogging next to me when a trail maintenence worker shut off part of the trail my Dad was going to use to get to the ceremony. I was bumbed out so I called my Dad, he showed up just then and said he knew another way and I thought it would take long for him to get here but I accepted it.

I went back to the ceremony and some people had started arriving, everyone was sitting in some chairs. I talked to some people and then sat down in the front row. The lady leading the event told me I would sing my part in five minutes in front of everyone. Now I remember signing up to sing for this event a year ago.  I also remembered I don't sing! I was getting a bit nervous and was trying to think of the words to America's National Anthem. I kept getting confused and didn't want to offend anyone by singing it wrong. I overheard someone across the lake singing it and realized I had no idea how I was going to sing this.

Right before I woke up I was trying to think about how low I should sing, because I can't hit the higher notes at all. Luckily I woke up. That was the last dream I had that night, I woke up and got my stuff done.
So far it has been a good day, I found some Kenwood speakers at a second-hand-goods store taht were half off today for 20$ and they work perfectly.

August 25th 2012, Cougar Bite


Dream Journal, Night of August 25th 2012.



*right now I have a lot of pain in my jaw and am encountering trouble in seeing a doctor, so the posts might not be as frequent and there is no video for this blog. I plan on continuing the Vlog portion as soon as I am in less pain. -Taylor

Cougar Bite.

Really neat dream, I liked this one a lot. Very detailed and nice bright lighting, bright but not painfully bright, just a nice glow to everywhere I went.

In my dream I found myself entering a building to go to the dentist, I had never been in that building before but knew where to go. I went to the fourth floor and walked into a lobby, my Mom might have been there but I know I didn't talk to her. I signed into the office and sat down on a chair. I saw my dentist come around the corner and he started talking to me, he told me he would be with me in a moment, he had to finish doing something with another patient. I told him that was totally fine, he asked how Boulder was and I told him I love it here. He had his children with him, who were all my age. They smiled at me as I talked to their Dad. He told me after he worked on me he was going on vacation to Puerto Rico. I told him that sounded like fun.
A nurse took me back to the area where the dental chairs were, she left me in a room sitting on a chair.
Here my dream changed, I now lost awareness of why I was at the dentist or where I was, now I saw some old friends of mine also hanging out in that area. Some how I felt like I was a senior in High School again.



I decide to leave after a while and walk downstairs and then outside. I am now in the back of a parking lot, only a few cars are there. The parking lot is next to a trail that went into the woods. The building I left is to my left as I look into the forest. I see my friend Ben's brother, I know him a little bit but not as well as I know Ben. We talk for a bit and make plans to hang out sometime soon. He walks down a trail behind the building to go home, I say goodbye and then notice there is a mountain lion sitting in the grass by the trail, he walks past and neither him or the mountain lion notice each other. I tell him to watch out there is a cougar near him, he faces the great cat and walks backwards slowly looking as big as he can. The mountain lion sees him and growls a little bit. Then the cougar sees me and comes towards me. (btw I love mountain lions, I would be terrified and honored to run into one in the wild but I think they are incredible/beautiful beats.) I back up and separate the Lion from me by moving behind a small car. I now know I am waiting for my Dad to pick me up in his car but he is late or I am early. The cougar now is running towards me and pounces. I dodge the cat and turn around. It bites me and jumps away, it doesn't hurt though but it surprises me a big deal.



 Then I see some co-workers I had back in Austin come out the back of the building. They say hi to me and I tell them to watch out there is a mountain lion near and it is messing with me. They are surprised but don't act safely and walk out in the open. The cougar jumps on one of my ex-co-workers and latches its teeth on her forearm. She states screaming, I run over to her and grab the cat's head. It claws me away and I get back up and hold its head again and yank the cat off her arm. The cougar left metal teeth still attached to her arm, it looked like the fake vampire fangs that people put in on Halloween only they were three times the size and stainless steel. I pull them off her and throw them to the ground.



She is thankful and glad she is alive, she thanks God she is here, I look at her arm and it has a scar where the teeth were that looks like a cattle brand in an oval, but you can see all the way through her arm.
She says that she will tell others about what happened to spread awareness about the dangers of wild animals and to give them there space in the wild. I now somehow have the scar on my forearm and she doesn't, I told her I would bare the burden and pain for her until it had healed. I walked off and my dream ended.



That was the dream. I still love mountain lions even though I was attacked, those cats often appear in my dream. I have had at least 5 dreams with mountain lions in them this year and it is only August.
Thanks for reading.
