Dream 688

'Slander from an Enemy'

Date: 28 August 2016

Time: 22:30 - 07:45 (I woke up from this dream naturally) 

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Normal recall

Scene 1: An Unknown Interior - Time Unknown
I was with PS (my ex-boyfriend) and he was telling me that AWB (a female who has blocked me on Facebook after she attempted to date PS following our break-up - I have met her in person since then because we have mutual friends) had been slandering me to him. I was very interested to find out what she had said about me, and I was pestering PS to tell me, but he didn't want to. There was a TV in the room we were in - although I cannot recall any other details about the decoration or furniture. On the TV I could see a scene where PS and AWB (and a couple of other unrecalled dream characters who I may or may not have known in real life) were sitting around a circular table. I was aware that I was watching these dream characters discuss me, but there was no audio for me to find out what they were actually saying. AWB was wearing a baggy black hoodie in the TV show. I kept asking PS to tell me.

Eventually PS told me that AWB said I was fat. I found this surprising and funny, since (in real life) I am slimmer than her - we are both curvy, but she is bigger on from the waist up and I have a bigger butt and thighs, with a smaller waistline. I told PS that this was ridiculous, because objectively I am the slimmer one, and he agreed. He then said that AWB made racist jokes about my last name, pronouncing it wrongly and using nonsense words and offensive terms instead of my actual name. This made me angry. 

I then had some kind of conversation with RBA, where he told me he had moved to a new place (in Scotland) which started with 'Port', the second part of the place name beginning with 'L'. I asked him to repeat and then I saw a map with this place pinpointed. RBA asked me to come to this place, but I said I was unavailable and could not travel there. 

I cannot recall what else happened in this dream.

Extra Information: 
None of note

Recurrent Dream Themes: 

• PS as a dream character

Dreamsigns: 

• I could see an image on the TV screen which illustrated the conversation I was having with PS

Day Residue: 

• On the day of this dream, there was a thread on Facebook where a friend of a friend (who I met in person on the same day I met AWB - at a hip hop festival) was slandered online
• On the day of this dream I heard some lyrics from a female who is part of my broad online/IRL social circle - she was slut-shaming and criticising other females
• A couple of days before this dream I had mentioned I was moving home in a conversation with RBA

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment or Eminem. This dream wasn't negative, despite the theme. 

Dream 687

'Knife Teacher'

Date: 27 August 2016

Time: 02:30 - 10:30 (I woke up from this dream naturally) 

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Normal recall

Scene 1: An Unknown Interior - Time Unknown
I was in a room - which appeared to be a bedroom, although not my own in real life. I was with another dream character - I think it was a female and someone I know in real life, as in the dream I was aware they were a friend or relative. We were discussing something - and it turned out that we were both students in the same class. 

At one point in this dream, I was hugging a very small baby goat while laying on the bed in the room. The goat was white and pale brown and the size of a kitten. It was laying with it's legs folded under it and it had tiny horns on it's head. It was so sweet and I enjoyed hugging it. I wondered if it would try and get down from the bed, but it seemed to like being stroked and cuddled. 

Other events happened in this room. I saw there was a huge shelving unit which was filled with a number of items - some loose piles of paperwork and boxes and other things which I could not recall. Then my friend showed me 2 massive knives which had been on the shelves - they were more like kitana swords, although one of them had a serrated blade. I wondered why we had these knives, and my friend told me they were 'for protection'. At this stage, I was standing in the room, looking at the knives which my friend had laid on a white plastic-topped table. I got the impression that these knives were 'protection against aliens' although I was not sure. 

My friend and I then walked through to the next room, which was a classroom. Behind a desk was a young white male dream character - in his 20s or 30s. He was very attractive, although in a generic way. I could not say who he looked like, as he was a very typical representation of a handsome man - average build with dark hair and a friendly face. He was wearing a smart outfit, which may have been a business suit. This man was our teacher. I showed him the knives which we had brought into the classroom. He was very impressed and said I had passed the assignment. I knew I was now supposed to have sex with this teacher. In the dream, I was the adult me and this teacher was around my own age, so it didn't seem inappropriate in the context and I was quite happy. I wondered if my friend was jealous. 

I cannot recall what else happened in this dream.

Extra Information: 
None of note

Recurrent Dream Themes: 

• Classroom/learning environment

Dreamsigns: 

• Knives as protection from aliens
• The assignment set by the teacher and my forthcoming relationship with him

Day Residue: 

• The day before I had Dream 686 which featured my friend CEC - CEC is a big fan of goats and often posts pictures or references to them on Facebook

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment or Eminem. I have forgotten quite a bit of this dream, although it was vivid in my mind when I first woke up and thought about it. I am hoping that I may recall more of this dream at a later stage and I will record it below. I am not sure why, but I really enjoyed this dream - it left me with a positive feeling when I woke up from it and I felt happier than I have (at the point of waking) for a long time - given that recently I have been stressed and anxious and this tends to affect me most when I first wake up. 

Dream 686

'Party Preparations'

Date: 26 August 2016

Time: 22:30 - 07:45 (I woke up from this dream naturally) 

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Normal recall

Scene 1: An Unknown Interior - Time Unknown
I was with some dream characters which included my female friend, CEC. I cannot recall much about the room we were in, other than it was red - or there was a lot of red in this room - and a big table in the middle, with some items on it. 

CEC told me - or we discussed - a party which was happening that night. CEC was trying to encourage me to get ready for the party - to get dressed and do my hair. Everyone seemed excited about the party, but I was apprehensive for some reason, and did not want to get ready for it. 

There were parts of the dream which happened in this room which I cannot recall.

I was then being rushed into getting ready - CEC told me to stand beside the table which had the objects on it - one of these objects was a large family-sized pepperoni pizza. This was my 'handbag' in the dream and I was pleased that it was laid out for me and I didn't have to go to the hassle of trying to find it.

I cannot recall what else happened in this dream.

Recurrent Dream Themes: 

• None of note

Dreamsigns: 

• A pizza was a handbag

Day Residue: 

• I interact with CEC most days on Facebook

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment or Eminem. I have forgotten quite a bit of this dream, although it was vivid in my mind when I first woke up and thought about it. It is because I was doing poor dream practice (recording the dream more than 24 hours later) that means the precise memories of this dream have faded considerably. I do recall that this was quite a pleasant and enjoyable dream.

Dreams 680 - 685

Recently, my dream practices have been very disrupted as a result of some personal stress. I have been keeping a record of my dreams when I have been able to (either practically, or in the right frame of mind). My records are quite incomplete however, as I mainly recorded the date and content. I have forgotten a great deal of dreams I have had during this period. Therefore, I have opted to record all recalled dreams on 1 single post, without the usual complimentary analysis. I hope to return to my normal dream practices as soon as possible. 

Dream 680

'Table Sex'

Date: 18 August 2016

Type of dream: Normal dream
Dream recall: Weak recall

Scene 1: An Unknown Interior - Time Unknown

I was with another person - I think it was my Mum. We were sitting at a table, on which there was a dark haired male dream character (adult), curled into a foetal position, facing away from us. My Mum told me who it was - it was a male who I had known from high school in real life, but I cannot recall who it was. I knew it was not someone I found attractive. My Mum said I had to have a sexual relationship with this male, as he was my 'new husband'. I was not happy about this. 

Dream 681

'Acid Attack'

Date: 20 August 2016
Type of dream: Normal dream

Dream recall: Strong recall

Scene 1: A Warehouse - Time Unknown

I was in a dark warehouse, which looked like it was made of grey concrete. The floor was wet. There was another dream character present - a male, although I cannot recall much about him. I knew he was evil though. On the floor of the warehouse, there was a metal barrel. This male character pushed over the barrel, spilling this pink gunge all over the floor. In the dream, I realised that this was 'acid'. The male dream character somehow managed to rub some of the acid into the thumb of my right hand - without touching me it seemed. This caused me great pain and I was scared. I crouched down on the ground a short distance away. I then saw RBA. He tried to help me clean the acid from my hand with some cloth. Kneeling down beside me on the floor, he turned back to the evil dream character and said: 'She's vulnerable to attacks'. I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Dream 682

'Spooning PS' Sister'

Date: 21 August 2016
Type of dream: Normal dream

Dream recall: Weak recall

Scene 1: An Unknown Bedroom - Time Unknown

I was laying on the edge of a bed, and PS' younger sister JGH was laying behind me, spooning me. She told me that PS was 'leaving' and I got up in a panic. I handed her a note (folded, I could not read what was written inside it), telling her she needed to pass this on to PS as an emergency - him reading the note would stop him leaving.

Scene 2: Co-op on Unthank Road - Day

I was then in the small Co-op supermarket on Unthank Road. It looked pretty similar to how it does in real life, but in front of the cashiers' tills, there was a table. PS was in front of me, waiting to pay for some items he had in a metal shopping basket. I recall there were 3 items in his basket, although they were not food items and I cannot recall what they were. I was standing behind him, at the table, with a clipboard. I had been making notes on the clipboard, but I am not sure what I was writing. PS turned round and started talking to me, but I cannot recall what he said. I cannot recall anything further about this dream.

Dream 683

'Fried Eggs'

Date: 22 August 2016

Type of dream: Normal dream
Dream recall: Weak recall

Scene 1: Unknown - Time Unknown

I cannot recall this dream other than it involved me seeing a large fried egg and it featured Mark Hamill and my Mum's friend, CC.

Dream 684

'Broken Laptop'

Date: 23 August 2016
Type of dream: Normal dream

Dream recall: Weak recall

Scene 1: An Unknown Interior - Time Unknown

I saw that my laptop was broken. I was keen to get it fixed. As I lifted it up, I realised that it was shaped like a box-within-a-box, with a cube shaped camera in the centre. The outer box was falling off - this was how it was broken. I cannot recall anything else about this dream, other than it felt negative.

Dream 685

'In the Sink'

Date: 25 August 2016

Type of dream: Normal dream
Dream recall: Normal recall

Scene 1: My Bedroom in Norwich - Morning

In this dream I was waking up in my own room. A male friend, MSN was present. I 'remembered' that the night before (in the dream), I had been out with MSN and had dropped my phone, smashing the screen. At that moment, my Mum entered my bedroom. She told me that my phone contract was nearly up for renewal and I could get a new phone then, but I just wanted to get my own phone fixed. I looked at my sink/basin and noticed that MSN was laying in it, on his back - there did not appear to be any water in it and even though the sink is regular sized, and MSN is an average-sized adult, he fit in it perfectly. In the dream it did not seem odd that MSN could fit in the sink. He reminded me of the plastic duck bath toys. My Mum asked if I had had sex with MSN. I said: 'No' and we both laughed at the way he was laying in the sink. I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Violence, Mutilation, Gore, 'Funeralization', Trolling & Crime

Dream 679 (NIGHTMARE)

'Warehouse Horror'

Date: 16 August 2016

Time: 20:30 - 00:30 (I woke up from this dream naturally) 

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Strong recall

This dream is part of my Dream Incubation Experiment - Eminem / Marshall Mathers III Dream - click HERE (post will open in a new window) to see the details of this Dream Incubation Experiment, including the methodology and results of previous Dream Incubation Experiments.

Scene 1: An Unknown Interior - Time Unknown
I was looking at the top of my own head, in third-person perspective. I noticed that my hair was a purply-red (plum) colour and a much silkier, straighter texture than usual (my normal hair is wiry, thick and black). I realised that the black dye I used (in real life) to cover the red/plum dye I had previously used, had faded and now all of my hair was this plum colour and much lighter than it had ever been. I wondered if I should re-dye it black or use some sort of dye remover to restore the colour to my usual darkest brown/black colour as I did not like the plum. 

I then walked over to a desk - now in first-person perspective. I was in a well-lit room which had a yellowish light. The only thing I could see was a desk, which I sat at. I had to do an assignment, which involved marking lines (using a pencil) on fuzzy black and white photographs of cloudy skies - this task had something to do with airplanes and was important, but I did not want to do it. Something felt very scary about what I was doing - as if someone was forcing me to do it. 

Scene 2: A Large Warehouse - Time Unknown
I 'woke up' on the floor of a large empty warehouse. There was another person in the room with me - a female (I think, I am not sure) who was my friend in the dream. This dream character wore a purple scarf around their neck. Like me, they were also on the floor of the warehouse. I felt terrified, but I wasn't sure why. 

Then, a tall figure entered the warehouse - it was male, but I could not see it's face, because it wore a long black cloak with a hood which covered it's face. Other than the fact that it did not have a scythe, I would describe this figure as resembling the Grim Reaper. The man ordered my friend to stand up. My friend must have done something wrong, because the man got angry and shouted something at my friend, telling them to stand up, which they did. He then rushed over to them and started beating and kicking in the most violent way, making my friend scream out in fear and pain. I was even more terrified than before, and now felt scared for my own safety, assuming that I would be next. I wondered if this was something to do with the earlier task I had been performing at the desk. The man - who had a deep and evil sounding voice, said something about 'husband' and 'Mr and Mrs', but I am unaware of the context. When he finished beating and kicking my friend, who was now on the floor again in the crumpled heap, he summonsed a brown dog into the room and encouraged it to savage my friend - basically eat them alive. 

The man then turned his attention to me, getting me to stand up. His voice was a little less evil sounding. I thought to myself: obey him and you will be safe. He told me to spread my arms and hold them out at shoulder level at each side and stand still. I did this. He obviously approved of my submissiveness and compliance as he told me that I was doing a good job. The dog came over to me. The man said I could drop my arms, which I did. I petted the dog, which was very friendly towards me. I no longer had any feelings of fear.

I cannot recall what else happened in this dream.

Extra Information: 
None of note

Recurrent Dream Themes: 

• Having to perform a quest or challenge of some sort

Dreamsigns: 

• I saw myself in third-person perspective - and I had different hair
• Scene 3 was a dreamsign

Day Residue: 

• On the day of this dream I had been looking at hair dyes in the pharmacy and was wondering if I should dye my roots (I use blue-black hair dye)
• The day before this dream I had seen a Facebook discussion about airplane emissions (or as conspiracy theorists refer to them: chem trails) - lines in the sky. I think this influenced the task I was performing in the dream
• On the day of this dream I had written an online comment about how I grew up not fearing authority figures
• On the day of this dream I had been telling DL about how when my friends and I misbehaved at school, I would always be labelled as the 'bad influence' by teachers, but got away with a lot of my wrongdoing because I was a good student, whereas my friends who achieved lower grades or were less naturally academic than me were seen as being more 'innocent' than me. I also referred to a (slightly Satanic) cult I had started in primary school in relation to the overtly religious (and deeply unpopular) headmistress (cannot recall her name) who replaced the headmaster in the final years of primary school. She taught our maths class and was horrified to discover that at 9/10 years of age I was already reading adult horror books - either ones I got from my Mum, or ones I bought from the horror section of my favourite secondhand book shop on Saturdays when I went there with my Nan. She particularly hated the ones with Satanic themes (being a very outspoken and preachy Christian Bible-basher type, who had a rainbow minivan with 'Jesus Loves You' painted on the side). She told my Mum my reading material was age-inappropriate, but my Mum didn't listen to her anyway and I continued to read these books, before temporarily experimenting with becoming a 'cult leader', telling a small group of my friends that I was the daughter of the devil, and even going as far as writing '666' on my scalp in red felt-tip pen and getting them to 'check' for the 'birthmark'. I think I had 4 -5 followers in my cult. All we really did was perform some silly rituals at break time, and make notes in a notebook and try to scare other kids. It was fairly innocent, as unlikely as that sounds!
• I fell asleep while listening to Creepypasta stories on YouTube

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment or Eminem. This was a terrifying nightmare and I think it was directly caused by the fact that horror stories (audio) were playing on my laptop next to me when I accidentally fell asleep. However, unlike some nightmares that I have had in the past, I did not wake up with negative thoughts or fear in my mind - perhaps because the nightmare ended on a positive note - at least for me. I have to admit that I was not scared or disturbed by what happened to my friend in the dream - the main terror came from thinking the same thing might happen to me. 

Dream 678

'Pokemon Quest'

Date: 15 August 2016

Time: 09:30 - 11:45 (I woke up from this dream due to an alarm) 

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Strong recall

I had 2 very vivid and complex dreams, because I had a period of waking, during which I decided to get out of bed. I then realised that I was still tired and decided to get another 1.5 hours of sleep, so in effect, this was a Wake-Back-to-Bed with very successful results. This is the second dream.

This dream is part of my Dream Incubation Experiment - Eminem / Marshall Mathers III Dream - click HERE (post will open in a new window) to see the details of this Dream Incubation Experiment, including the methodology and results of previous Dream Incubation Experiments.

Scene 1: My Current Temporary Bedroom in Norwich/The Two Lifeboats Hotel, Sheringham  - Day
I was in my bedroom with both DL (next to me at the desk) and AD (a male friend in real life, who used to live in the same accommodation I am in now when we were both undergraduate students in 2003/4). It felt like my bedroom was an office. AD started to have a panic attack. I used a technique I learned in Mental Health First Aid training - the seagulls's wing method, where you get the person with the panic attack to watch you waving an arm slowly up and down. They then should regulate their breathing to the pace of your arm and calm down. This worked. I said to AD: 'I had a panic attack a short while ago when I was thinking about a medical procedure for women I have to go for [pause] a routine smear test. But I've never had one before. I wish someone had been able to use the seagull's wing technique to help me' (note: all of this information is true: I am scheduled for my first ever smear test on 17.08.2016 and I have a valium prescription to help with my medical phobia and panic attacks; in between waking from the first dream (see Dream 677) and then going back to sleep, I had been thinking about this smear test and had a real life panic attack - so these dream events reflected real life waking events from a very short time before). 

I then went to make AD a drink - I found myself - still in the same room, behind the bar in The Two Lifeboats Hotel, Sheringham, where my Mum used to be the manager, and I used to work. I made him a lime cordial and soda and put a straw in it. I wondered how much a lime and soda should cost and remembered it used to cost 30p. I put it on the bar for AD. He then said he had wanted a Coke - so I handed him a can of Coke and said that I would drink the lime and soda. AD said he wanted to drink both drinks.

Scene 2: A Domestic Interior - Time Unknown
I was then in a new house, with DL and AD. This was a house belonging to someone else, although at this point, we did not know who lived here. We did know that we were on a quest to find 'Princess Daisy' from Super Mario Bros, but Daisy was actually a composite between Princess Daisy and Princess Peach. We had to save her, but when we first got to the house, we didn't know who was holding her hostage. We were standing on the second floor landing, at the top of the stairs, beside a window and a towel rail. I then realised that we were saving Princess Daisy from Dr Robotnik, although in the dream I mistakenly thought the character Dr Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik (the enemy in Sonic the Hedgehog) was from Mario. We saw him briefly on the landing - he looked like he does in Sonic, but in a human form. AD and I ran away, into a bedroom, which looked a lot like the room in my Nan's house, Sheringham which used to be my aunt, VF's room, but is now used to store my possessions. This room was dark. We saw the doors to the slatted wood wardrobe (like the one in the scene from Halloween (1978) - so the worst hiding place) were open, so we decided to hide in the pile of clothes at the bottom. We found that Princess Daisy - also in human form, but very small, like a midget - was already hiding from Dr Robotnik in this wardrobe. I suddenly realised that Robotnik was supposed to find us, and when he did, Princess Daisy would scream, and the 'Daisy Scream' would transport DL, AD and I into our 'real quest' which was a Pokemon adventure challenge. Even though this was all necessary and expected, I still felt terrified of Dr Robotnik finding AD, Princess Daisy and I in the wardrobe. 

Dr Robotnik entered the room, grabbed Princess Daisy - who screamed loudly and piercingly - and suddenly DL, AD and I were transported into the next dream scene. 

Scene 3: A Boat (Location Unknown) - Day
I was then on a boat with DL and AD - we were on our way around the 'Pokemon Map' - so, basically the boat would be transporting us around the area of game play, which were islands in the middle of an ocean. I could see one of the islands in the distance, getting closer as we approached. It was a hot sunny day, and I was enjoying myself, but still anxious about having to do this Pokemon challenge, because we were the players - like live-action players in a computer game which had been recreated in a virtual reality. On the boat were other 'teams' of Pokemon trainers who were competing - one was a pair of uniformed police officers. I shouted at them: 'Fuck the police!' but they ignored me, and DL told me to stop trying to provoke other players, because we didn't yet know who 'Team Rocket' were. I thought Dr Robotnik was part of Team Rocket, but had re-named himself 'Jackson'. 

We approached the island - which looked like Lavender Town, which scared me even more.

I cannot recall anything else about this dream, as I was woken up by my alarm clock.

Extra Information: 
None of note

Recurrent Dream Themes: 

• Having to perform a quest or challenge of some sort

Dreamsigns: 

• My dream reflected real life events from a very short period of time before this dream took place (less than an hour)
• The events of Scene 2 & 3 were all dreamsigns - all impossible events involving some video game characters as live-action characters

Day Residue: 

• Less than an hour before this dream I had a panic attack, triggered by thinking about the forthcoming smear test and the notion of having to wait for the results
• I have recently written a horror story which refers to a hand which looks like a seagull's wing - see In-Camera (clicking on this link will take you to my second Blog where you can read my fictional horror story which opens in a new window)
• The day before this dream I had been watching the SomeOrdinaryGamers channel on YouTube - obsessively. In the videos I watched, Mutahar, the Youtuber from this channel had either referred to, or shown footage of him playing hacked versions of Mario, Sonic and Pokemon - which his viewers had sent him to play. There was an image file attached to the Mario one, which was of Princess Daisy, but made up of horror-like faces. I listed to a Creepypasta story Muta recorded, called 'Hyper Cola'
• The day before this dream I had been playing the Lavender Town theme music from Pokemon which is surrounded by urban mythology (apparently when playing Pokemon Red or Blue on Gameboys, a number of Japanese children committed suicide after reaching the Lavender Town level - the music contained a pitch only audible to children's ears. This phenomenon is called 'Lavender Town Syndrome'). This is a very creepy piece of music (I have included a video link to it below), and many people say it makes them feel anxious, sick or depressed. However, I often really crave to listen to it - it's like I get an urge to listen to it and it really stimulates my mind
• Due to Pokemon Go being so popular right now, I see mentions to it on social media and offline just about every single day

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment or Eminem. However, this was a very exciting dream to have and I was so surprised that waking events of less than an hour before and a lot of other Day Residue became interlinked in such a way to form a complex and interesting dream narrative, which was heavily influenced by gaming! 

Dream 677

'Celebrity Christmas'

Date: 15 August 2016

Time: 04:00 - 09:00 (I woke up from this dream due to my cleaner entering my room) 

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Strong recall

I had 2 very vivid and complex dreams, because I had a period of waking, during which I decided to get out of bed. I then realised that I was still tired and decided to get another 1.5 hours of sleep, so in effect, this was a Wake-Back-to-Bed with very successful results. This is the first dream.

Scene 1: A Domestic Interior (My Home in the Dream)  - Night
It was Christmas Eve  and I was with my Mum, about to prepare the food for the celebration on Christmas Day. I was aware that special guests to our home would include Jay-Z, Beyonce and Blue Ivy Carter and Kanye West, Kim Kardashian-West and their children, North and Saint West. I was very excited at the prospect of hanging out with these famous, inspirational people who I seemed to know on a friendship level. My Mum asked if we had all the food we needed for the Christmas Day dinner. 

I looked and realised that we didn't have any food in the house. It was late and I wondered if it would be possible to go last minute food shopping. I must have been in my home in Norwich, because my first thought was whether the 24-hour Tescos (a 10-minute walk away) would be open for me to buy chickens and vegetables to make a roast dinner. I was worried it would be shut as it was Christmas Eve, and quite late at night. I looked in my fridge and saw that I had 1 small chicken and some mashed potato. I wondered if there was enough mashed potato for 8 people (even though, there would in fact be 9 people there based on the number of dream characters expected to be eating). The mashed potato was in a small ceramic dish and I realised quickly that there was definitely not enough - it was only about 2 modest portions. I started panicking. 

I then looked again, and my kitchen was now fully stocked with all the food I needed to make a feast. It seemed like this was a combination of my own food stores and a sort of shop, which I could use to purchase anything extra. I knew I had some fresh herbs, but wanted to get some more, as well as an extra chicken or 2 and more variety of vegetables. I saw a shelf of fresh herbs and a stack of chickens, wrapped in clear plastic. I tried to find the biggest chicken for the best price and picked up more herbs. I also got a range of fresh vegetables, and was satisfied that I could make a great feast. 

My Mum then said: 'Do you think Beyonce will mind being at the same dinner party as Kim, because they've been arguing...?' I dismissed this, saying Beyonce would not want to create a scene and would be polite to Kim, and Kim wouldn't try to provoke her on Christmas Day. 

I then was worried that I hadn't bought any peas. I looked in the freezer and saw half a bag of peas. I wondered if this was enough, but when I looked in the next drawer down, saw my Mum had bought another bag of peas, so there were plenty.

The celebrity guests arrived. I was trying to chat to the kids. We were heading towards my kitchen - the one in my current, temporary accommodation. While in the doorway I asked Beyonce: 'Does Blue have a middle name?' I then realised how stupid this question was, and added: 'I mean, I know she is Blue Ivy, but does she have another middle name?' to which Beyonce replied 'No'. 

I cannot recall anything else about this dream, as I was woken up by a knock on my door and the door being opened by my cleaner.

Day Residue: 

• I often have to walk down to the Tescos because my local shop is either closed or isn't stocking the right ingredients for what I want to cook
• The day before this dream I had been eating mashed potato
• A few days before this dream, my housemate LD2 had been opening the freezer and checking to see if the compartments were in use
• A few days before this dream, I had been wondering if I needed to buy peas for a meal I was preparing
• A few days before this dream I had been reading an article about how Kim Kardashian had been anxious about dancing with Beyonce. I read a separate online article about how Beyonce really dislikes Kim
• The day before this video I had seen an image of Danielle Harold ('Lola Pearce' in Eastenders) in a Christmas scene, holding her online daughter, 'Lexi'

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment or Eminem, even though it did feature 2 very famous hip hop artists/rappers who have worked with Eminem. This was a very interesting and exciting dream for me, because I felt really overjoyed to be hosting a Christmas party with some of my favourite celebrities attending. I may have forgotten some aspects of this dream, although I am not sure. If I recall anything else, I will recall it below. 

Dream 676

'My Daughter'

Date: 14 August 2016

Time: 04:00 - 10:45 (I woke up from this dream due to an alarm)

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Moderate recall

This dream is part of my Dream Incubation Experiment - Eminem / Marshall Mathers III Dream - click HERE (post will open in a new window) to see the details of this Dream Incubation Experiment, including the methodology and results of previous Dream Incubation Experiments.

Scene 1: A Domestic Interior  - Time Unknown
This dream seemed very vivid when I was dreaming it, but because a few hours lapsed between me waking up with a good memory of this dream and then recording it, I have forgotten a lot of the action and detail. 

In the dream I had a baby daughter - I do not recall her name. I was surprised to discover that I had an even better, slimmer body than I had before - i.e. before I had a baby. 

The father of the baby was a white male, but I didn't recognise him - I am not sure who it represented. I was not in a relationship with him in the dream. I was anxious about giving him the baby for the day - the baby was swaddled in a pink blanket and I was talking to my Mum, voicing my concerns about handing the baby over. 

The father of the baby arrived at the house and I had a conversation with him about our daughter, before eventually deciding to trust him with her for the day. I cannot recall what else happened at this stage, but I know that I felt comfortable at the end of the interaction. 

I then saw someone's customised Myspace page - it was very glittery and had a galaxy wallpaper background. The name of the person was 'Elliot' and I recalled - in the dream only, not a real life memory - that 'Elliot' was the name of a character created by DL. I wondered if 'Elliot' meant 'Technology' and decided that it did, because 'Elliot' was the name of the main child character in ET (1982) - although in this movie, Elliot contracts to 'ET' meaning 'extra-terrestrial'. I wondered if the owner of the Myspace page was copying DL in using this name. 

I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Recurrent Dream Themes: 

• My Mum as a dream character

Dreamsigns: 

• I had a baby daughter
• I 'remembered' facts about DL which were not true in real life, only the dream

Day Residue: 

• On the day of this dream I had been watching Youtube videos on the SomeOrdinaryGamers channel - where Mutahar has a series 'Exploring the Deep Web' where he shows and comments on random websites he has found while surfing the deep/dark web. Many of the sites he referred to had reference to aliens. I saw one which had a galaxy wallpaper. The majority of sites had very bad, outdated designs - which led me to think about how Myspace pages used to be customised

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment or Eminem. I think I have forgotten a much of this dream, but if I recall them at a later stage, I will record them below. 

Dream 675

'A Ride to the Train Station'

Date: 12 August 2016

Time: 03:30 - 11:00 (I woke up from this dream naturally)

Type of dream: Vivid dream
Dream recall: Moderate recall

Scene 1: A Domestic Interior (Maybe My Nan's House, Sheringham) - Afternoon
I was in an interior scene - it may have been my Nan's house. I was sure that it was the afternoon, because I knew that I was supposed to be going out for the night. 

My Mum was present, as was MOM, who is a male on my Facebook friends list, who I don't actually know, but who often posts statuses or comments I find to be stupid or ignorant, or motivated by personal frustrations with women. In the dream it was as if he was my stepbrother - and he was older than me, although in real life I know he is much younger than me. MOM looked pretty similar as he does in real life, but his hair was blonder, and longer - almost down to his shoulders. He was drinking from a can.

I was dressing to get ready for this night out, and I had a lot of possessions around me. The interior I was in was a bit confusing as to where rooms were differentiated with each other. It didn't seem like a normal house, but I cannot recall what my opinions of the location were in the dream. 

I realised I had a lot of preparation to do, and I felt I was in a rush. I was then aware that I had to catch a train to get to the destination of the night out. I was standing beside an open doorway with my Mum and MOM when he said to me that if I hurried up, he would be able to give me a ride to the train station. I was pleased about this and said: 'I can just do my makeup on the train'. I started to pack my makeup away in a vanity case to bring with me. I then put on a pair of shoes. They were red suede, with cut-out sections, which had decorative white lace panels in them. The shoes were heeled and I was aware that these were brand new shoes and this was my first time wearing them. I thought that the white lace was ripped/torn and complained about it to my Mum, who told me that this was what the shoes were supposed to be like. I continued to get ready.

I then realised that I was running late and would miss my ride with MOM. I left the house and started running, and immediately found myself at the train station - just outside the entrance, where there was a shelter of sorts which separated the platform from the car park. I turned the corner, onto the first platform and saw a large clock with read '12:00 hours' - it was clearly midday, not midnight, so this confused me, as I had thought it was later. But I then remembered that I was supposed to meet MOM at 12:00 hours. It was raining - I just noticed it at this point. 

MOM came running up behind me and I was relieved to see that I had not missed getting a ride with him. This was despite the fact the 'ride' was supposed to be a car ride from my home to the train station and I was actually at the train station. MOM said that we were just in time to catch the train. A train started pulling into the station, and the passengers gathered on the platform started to board. I rushed forward, but MOM pointed out that this was not our train, and we were due to catch a soon-to-arrive train on the next platform. We then saw this train approaching in the distance, so crossed over onto the next platform and started running quickly. 

MOM said to me that he was ''scared of black people'. I asked him why and he said that he feared that he would be murdered. He saw two black males standing to the left side of the platform we had been running down and said that he would not dare approach them and bet me that I was too scared to do so myself. I was shocked by how racist me was being, and I told him so. At the same time, I felt that I had always suspected him of being racist, and now had it confirmed by his own words. I spoke to the two black male dream characters - I just said some pleasantries. I then told MOM that he was racist for being 'scared of black people' and 'associating them with murder'. I felt like I wanted to get rid of him, but it appeared that he would be travelling on the train with me.

I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Dream 674

'My Boyfriend, Pete Doherty'

Date: 11 August 2016

Time: 21:00 - 04:00 (I woke up from this dream due to an alarm which had been left set for this time by accident)

Type of dream: Normal dream
Dream recall: Moderate recall

This dream is part of my Dream Incubation Experiment - Eminem / Marshall Mathers III Dream - click HERE (post will open in a new window) to see the details of this Dream Incubation Experiment, including the methodology and results of previous Dream Incubation Experiments.

Scene 1: A Domestic Interior - Time Unknown
I was in a domestic interior which I did not identify - it may have been my Nan's house in Sheringham. Everything about the scene was blue - the light was blue and this is my main memory about my location. 

I was with Pete Doherty and in the dream - like real life - he was a junkie. He was addicted to heroin and crack. I was being forced into a relationship with Pete, but I wasn't happy, because I thought the amount of drugs he was taking was dangerous and I did not want to be associated with that kind of lifestyle. I was aware that my cousin HM was also dating someone who was a drug addict and I was worried that she might be attempted to take drugs too. 

I then saw a table with many different random personal items scattered across it - I cannot recall what these items were, but in the dream I recognised them to have come from my Mum's handbag. I assumed Pete was trying to steal from my Mum, so I asked him what he was doing with her belongings. Pete told me that my Mum had given him permission to touch/take the items, but I did not believe him and told him to put them back in the bag and leave them alone. He did what I asked. 

I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Recurrent Dream Themes:

Dreamsigns: 

• I was dating Pete Doherty

Day Residue: 

• None of note - but it seems relevant that Pete Doherty has a strong military background (his father was a Major in the Army - same regiment as HM's stepfather and maybe also her husband; and Pete's mother was a military nurse). He grew up in Army barracks. Therefore his childhood was similar to HM's upbringing and adult life, which may have led to them being linked in my dream

Waking Reactions: 
This dream did not reference my Dream Incubation Experiment and did not involve any references - explicit or symbolic - to  Eminem. 

Dream 673

'You Don't Want an Eminem Dream'

Date: 6 August 2016

Time: 21:00 - 07:50 (I woke up from this dream naturally)

Type of dream: Vivid dream/Pre-lucid dream
Dream recall: Moderate recall

Scene 1: A Domestic Interior (Maybe My Nan's House, Sheringham) - Time Unknown
This dream may have taken place in a multiple locations/scenes, but I cannot recall. I was definitely in a domestic interior, and I was reminded of my Nan's house in Sheringham at various points in this dream, so it may have taken place there. 

I was sitting on the floor of a well-lit room which had a brown-ish coloured carpet. To my right, someone - a male dream character who was my friend in the dream (I did not actually look at him at this stage in the dream). On the floor next to me was a paper copy of my phone bill (I don't actually receive copies of my phone bill as I am on a contract under my Mum's name and she pays it for me). I couldn't quite read the amount of the phone bill, because the numbers kept changing every time I looked at it, and this worried me, as I felt that I needed to check the amount. Eventually I was able to read the phone bill and saw that it was £172. I checked again, and saw the same amount. This worried me, as my Mum would clearly not be able to afford to pay for this bill and neither would I. I started trying to think of ways to raise the cash to pay this bill before the payment was due to come out of my Mum's bank account. I had some discussion with the male dream character, confused as to how I had run up such a high bill (when usually I don't even go over my free monthly minutes, given I rarely ever make calls). 

I then saw the dream character male walking down some stairs in the same house. He was wearing a white T-shirt, baggy blue jeans and some white trainers. He had a white sweatband on one of his wrists. I noticed he had light brown hair, cut short. I then realised that some kind of relationship with this man had been 'arranged' for me - perhaps by my family, I am not sure of the details. This did not please me, because I did not find him attractive, although in the dream I knew that he was a nice person and we got on well. The one thing which made me find him unattractive was his posture. He didn't have a hunch-back, but he did have the posture of an elderly person, despite being young. He was quite tall, but he had to walk bent over at the waist, which made him appear shorter and also really out of shape - he looked quite chubby. 

Having these thoughts made him transform. He was either the same person, physically changed, or a new person - I cannot be sure. This male walked with a straight back and had the kind of body-type I prefer on men (sorry if that sounds superficial, it's just preference! which is skinny/lean/slim with muscle tone. I was now finding the male more attractive and noticed that he was dressed in the same outfit described above. I cannot recall any conversation with this man at this point.

I was then told, by a female dream character (who I cannot recall seeing in the dream) that I could 'change' the male into Eminem, if I wanted to - and I saw the interior of a car, realising that if I did ask for him to be, then we would be using this car to go somewhere together, although exactly where and for what reason was unclear in the dream. However, I was aware that if I did ask for the male to be transformed into Eminem, then I would never have another Eminem dream, so this was my only opportunity. I did not want to waste the opportunity to have a more enjoyable Eminem dream (I am not sure how I knew that this current dream would not be enjoyable, but something told me that it would not). I said to the female dream character that I wanted to wait and have better Eminem dreams in my own time and she seemed to accept this decision. I said: 'My dream incubation experiment will work when I am ready for it' - I was not lucid when I said this, but I seemed to be aware that in my waking life I am engaged in a dream incubation experiment. 

I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Day Residue:

Waking Reactions: 
This dream referenced my Dream Incubation Experiment and Eminem, but wasn't exactly successful. My subconscious chose not to have a successful dream incubation on this occasion, and wanted to communicate that fact to me!

Dream 672

'Illegal Files'

Date: 5 August 2016

Time: 01:00 - 08:15 (I woke up from this dream naturally)

Scene 1: An Unknown Interior - Time Unknown
I cannot remember much about the location of this dream, but it seemed to be an interior and I was with a few dream characters, most of whom I cannot recall, other than 2 - a male who was my 'colleague' or 'partner' on some kind of project and an older female, who I did not see, but I was aware of, and seemed to be some form of supervisor or overseer. 

The male and I were in possession of some 'illegal files' - they were in yellow folders, and I was able to see them in 3-dimensions in front of my face, like a hologram or a superimposed image. They were very large in this image - about twice the size of a normal file intended to hold A4-sized documents. I could see some of the contents of the files through the front cover of the documents folder that they were contained in. There was some text and some documents, but I cannot recall what the material was, as I did not see it clearly. The male and I were both looking at the images of the files, which were just floating in the air in front of us, at head height. 

Apparently, the files could take 2 forms - the 'safe version' and the 'bad version', but both forms of file were illegal and also secret. The female dream character had instructed us that it was our choice whether we used the safe or bad versions of our files, but the decision was difficult, because we were both aware that neither type of file was actually 'safe' or 'good'. We experimented with switching the files from 'safe' to 'bad' using mental powers. 

I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Day Residue: 

• On the day of this dream I had been listening to Youtube audio videos - Creepypasta and others - which were themed around the deep web and internet

Waking Reactions: 
There was no reference to Eminem in this dream and it seemed to be influenced by my day residue.

Eminem Dream Incubation Update 4 - Weird Dreams of Kidnapped Strippers

Dream 671

'Kidnapping a Stripper'

Date: 3 August 2016

Time: 00:30 - 05:00 (I woke up from this dream naturally, then went back to sleep) 05:05 - 08:00 (I woke up due to an alarm)

Type of dream: Vivid dream

Scene 1: A Classroom - Time Unknown
I was in a classroom and was with a number of other dream characters, who I seemed to know in the dream at least. I think that my Mum was also present, but I cannot recall for sure. We were all sitting around a large plastic desk - the type you get in primary/high school - I think it was grey. I was then tasked with something which involved a pug dog. The pug was very special and someone told me that it was a 'precious object' and that I had to be very careful with it. I think I may have been feeding it, but I am not sure. There was something on it's back - I assumed it was some kind of saddle? 

I then saw a magazine article - I started reading it while still at the desk. It was a double page article and there was big bold writing that looked like it was made of chocolate. The article was an interview with my friend CEC which explained how she accidentally ate chocolate which wasn't vegan and how upset it made her. Some of the 'chocolate writing' at the bottom of the page read 'We Don't Blame You!' 

I read another article - it was about me - criticising me for taking selfies with a very pouty 'duckface' expression on my lips. There was a close-up image of my lips.

Scene 2: A Coastal Road - Day
I was in an open top car, driving down a coastal road with a male companion. I am not sure who this was - it may have been a dream character. He was tall and had light brown hair and white skin and was wearing a white T-shirt. The sun was shining and it felt like summer. The day felt significant, as if we were maybe going somewhere special. There were some billboards along the roadside, advertising something which was related to us or our journey. I cannot recall what the visuals/words were. I then saw the car from third-person perspective - it was blue. I looked like my normal self and I could see the male who was driving. I then saw that it wasn't an open-top car anymore - it was a regular car, with the sun-roof open. As soon as I noticed this, a white woman with blonde messy hair, wearing a dirty crop top stood up in the car (between the male and I) and put her head up through the sun-roof. She started waving her arms in the air, in an excited way. 

The dream reverted back to first person perspective - with me sitting in the front passenger seat, next to the male. The blonde female was nowhere to be seen anymore. I asked the male who she was and he explained (in a very casual way) that she was a stripper and we had kidnapped her and she was now in the boot. I didn't seem too surprised or disgusted by this, but I asked how we would get out of this illegal situation. The male said that it was OK, because he was a celebrity (I did not recognise him to be one) and he had recruited me to perform this task (the kidnap of the stripper) as part of a TV show he was filming. I accepted this scenario. I asked him why he had recruited me, and he said: 'Because you would make a good sideman'. 

We came to a building. We did not check the stripper in the boot of the car, we just went into the building, which was in an urban area - a grey concrete building with other similar buildings on either side. The male handed me a piece of paper - it was old-looking, like an ancient map - sepia and ripped. There was a lot of messy handwriting on the piece of paper - in the dream I couldn't read the writing - because it seemed to say different things every time I looked at it, or the words would be nonsense or spelled wrongly. Instead of going horizontally across the paper, it went downwards, but not in a straight line - all in random places. I asked the male what the writing said and he told me that it was instructions for the disposal of the stripper's body. I looked again and could see that he was correct, but when I looked another time, I found I could not read it again. 

I cannot recall anything else about this dream.

Dreamsigns: 

• Scene 2 was a dreamsign
• Third-person perspective
• The changes to the car
• Not being able to read/text changing before my eyes 

Day Residue: 

• On the day of this dream I had seen someone post the words 'pug lyf' on Facebook
• On the day of this dream I had seen CEC post about vegan issues on Facebook
• On the day of this dream I saw an online article about a girl whose young niece mistook her Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eyeshadow palette for real chocolate and tried to eat it
• The day before this video I was looking for new Grav3yardgirl videos and saw the thumbnail for her 'Does This Thing Really Work? Chocolate Pen' video - which I had previously watched and found amusing. I remembered enjoying this video, because Bunny had been really frustrated about not getting the product to work properly
• A couple of days before this dream, I had been hanging out with RBA and he commented on the kind of photos I post of myself on Facebook
• On the day of this dream I had made a joke about hating to get dressed and undressed - and how this probably meant that I wasn't suited to my previous job as an exotic dancer/stripper
• On the day of this dream I had been listening to Creepypasta audios on Youtube - some of which involved kidnap and murder
• On the day of this dream, I was involved in a comments thread on my Facebook following a status about loved/hated rappers. I had described U-God from Wu Tang Clan as a 'sideman'

Waking Reactions: 
There was no reference to Eminem in this dream (other than the possible link to his track 'Stan' in which he ties up his pregnant girlfriend and puts her in the boot/trunk of his car, before driving into a lake), but there was a clear influence from day residue, transformed into a new narrative. However - WOW, what a gruesome dream theme! I wish I could recall more about this dream, as it seemed to be fairly vivid when I first woke up, but I went back to sleep which meant that I forgot many aspects of it. If I recall anything further, I will record it below,
