Dream

This was a very intense and extreme dream that took place during world war 2 with nazi germany. There was a lot of other racially and sexually related persecution and violence in this dream as well. At one point me and the group of women i was with stumbled upon an old barn with a working radio inside. We went inside and I ran into an old friend of mine that was my neighbor and best friend growing up. His name is Geoff and he is an American born full blooded German. He ended up sexually assaulting me and grabbing at my breasts and asking if I remember when he used to do this when my breast’s were smaller. This was terrifying and traumatic for me, especially because we have never been romantically or sexually involved. The women I was with helped me to fight him off and we ran. There was anarchy in the streets as it was a full war zone with no laws and no law enforcement. It was every man for themselves. The women I was with were very sexually promiscuous and were looking for German soldiers to have sex with. They found a group of African American women who had small babies. The babies were nude and one of the women made a comment about the size of the small boys penis and I was absolutely disgusted. She attempted to buy the child from the poor mother and she asked her what she wanted with a little black baby boy. Then I could literally see her what she was thinking like her imagination was projected onto a screen. She was in a field of flowers with a young black man who was very handsome. There were these black and gold elephants and hippos that were adorned with fine jewels and precious metals and onyx. They were care free and playing in the meadow until suddenly they turned and became mad. The elephants turned violent and started tearing apart the hippos with their tusks and then several humans as well and went on a wild rampage. It was terrifying. Then I heard the war sirens go off and bombs were dropping from planes above us. I took cover until it was quiet. When I came out I could see the devastation and destruction unleashed as far as the eye could see. Bodies burned and bloodied were piled high all over and wreckage from the buildings and homes that once stood proud and strong were nothing more than piles of rubble and dust: I finally understood the true nature of war and the evil of man

Dream

I had a my first lucid dream. I realized it was a vivid dream, because in the dream I was in my bedroom with my boyfriend John - it was starting to get a little sexual/romantic but I stop because I saw my family coming out from the house and for some reason I could see completely clearly out of my bedroom window which is normally covered. I looked out of the window and I saw my mom do a gymnastics maneuver like a front walk over that I knew she couldn’t do and I realized it was a dream. I actually told John that I was lucid dreaming, and now that I’m thinking about it I wonder if as a non-playable entity in that scenario he tried to distract me from the fact that I knew maybe I wasn’t really supposed to announce that I knew. I’m not sure, that’s sort of my theory right now though. I’ve never had a dream like that before it felt completely real most of the time, and I was so aware of what was going on and I was actually able to manipulate it a little bit and do things and that’s a literally never ever happened before and I’m over joyed that it did so back to the dream. As soon as I realized, what was going on, I quickly went to work started trying to see what else I could do in the dream and I was able to do a few different things, but then dream John (who was kind of inside of my closet/wardrobe thingy, and manage to be fitting in there, even though that defies logic of physics) started telling me a story that I really didn’t like some thing about a dead dog that his dad had found or heard about which had been stabbed and it’s private parts being mutilated. As soon as he started telling me that story I basically wanted him to stop because it started taking my attention away from the pleasantness. It was just too gruesome and I don’t know if he was upset or offended by that, but he didn’t seem to like that. I asked him to stop. I realized that I couldn’t control the dream as much as I wanted to, and maybe that was just because I didn’t know how to do that I didn’t fully believe I could. Maybe it’s because I said it out loud? I change some things about the dream, but John suddenly disappeared, and I was all alone. But I wasn’t worried. And then I myself did a handstand, at first I tried, and I didn’t do it very easily because I didn’t think that I could or I thought that it was going to be dependent on my actual real life, physical prowess. As soon as I should be able to do it for sure I was able to do it very easily, and then I was sort of floating the air and was even able to adjust my hands while upside-down. The only odd thing was that I was doing it between where my bed and the cat closet is, and in the dream it felt like that space was very narrow and then I was basically being squeezed by it, so when I did the handstand, my hip sort of picked up the part of my bed, where the curtains hang from, but doing a handstand at that point was incredibly easy because I wanted to see what else I could do. I felt a little sexually frustrated and so I wanted to imagine John came back, but I wasn’t able to make him materialize again I think this is partially because I couldn’t convince myself in that moment that I could or it was possibly because I was disturbed by what he had said before and I didn’t fully want him to come through. I’m not sure. But I wanted to play with myself, so I laid down in the bed fully clothed with my feet facing for the head of the bed, and as I was looking up at the wall I saw that there was a Minecraft style painting, with a bunch of hotdogs on it. It was like a hotdog tree in hotdog grass and a hotdog flying through the sky. And in that moment I realized that this is a game or at least I could play it like a game. Suddenly it shifted in a way that felt like I was waking up at first but very quickly. It was clear that that wasn’t what was happening. Suddenly it was like I was watching a screen without seeing the edges of the screen that I was a character from what I thought was Krapopolis. I was hippo, but hippo had like this long orange hair - at one point the animation shifted from sort of the normal animation style that was originally presented to a pixelated style and then back and it was like he reacted to that happening. They were like observing a bridge or like a ramp, or some thing and talking about how they needed to get into a Town and there was the theme of stars. I knew that this was actually very important and I tried my best to listen and I heard him talking and referencing stars a few times but the very last thing that I remember before I woke up was him saying “we need to get that star fire back”after that I immediately woke up. Before I realized it was a dream I remember that I was eating some jelly beans that were in a mixed box of taffy and jelly beans. The very last one of the three I ate was a popcorn flavored jelly bean which I thought was John’s favorite flavor. Also there was like some sort of takeout food that John had left in the room that I was eating. And there was a cat that definitely wasn’t marshmallow who I thought may have started to eat the food at one point before I shooed her away.
