Dead Space 3: School Zone (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm at my school. Only it is now Dead Space themed. The lighting is super low and there are windows and vents everywhere. I know that this was deliberate, as many people were talking about how this was "to scare people." The weird this was that they were trying to basicly scare themselves. I remember that there was this room, it was compact and on each wall there was a poster. These posters were scary as shit, so I kept asking to get out. I see one of my teachers walk in and say, "No, you gotta stay," but I walk out the now open door. She follows me and says, "Tell you what, if I don't see you the rest of school, you don't have to go back in that room." I think that that is resonable enough, and head up the stairs. I sit at the top and hear some people coming. They turn the corner and I see it is a girl and the teacher. I think Oh, shit, just don't do anything too big and she won't notice, and sure enough, she walked right by. I go back down the stairs, when I see that the downstairs is normal (besides the whole Dead Space thing) but now there is a hallway that wasn't there before. I go down it, now with my dad, and try to find something. I know that this hallway was straight from Dead Space 2 as I have never seen it before besides in Dead Space 2. We find who we wanted and turn a corner. The hallway was just a big U, and I'm now back where I started, only now I'm trying to talk to another teacher. Then I woke up.

Goddamn Fragments 2: Fragment Harder (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I know that this is kind of long, but trust me, it is a fragment as I know that there was a shit-ton more and I'm just adding in a ton of details.

I'm in one of my classes (I think) looking at my headphones, realizing that they're breaking down from me dropping them so much. I begin to panic, but then I just put them in an empty backpack when BAM! I'm suddenly running down what lookes kind of like a long ass half pape in a sewer. I guess I'm in some sort of race when my headphones fall out of the backpack and they break in two. Suddenly they are like huge in ear headphones that still work, so I just put them away.
Cut to a hotel where I hear Yusuf (Inception) is also at. I get exited because I love Inception and I guess in this world it was real. So I exit my room whitch kind of just looks like my house to a mix between a Wal-Mart and arcade. I go to a weird room in this Wal-Cade where the manager is, and where the arcade machines are too. Oddly enough, there were like 4 different MvC3 machines. I began to play one while talking to the manager of Hotel Wal-Cade. I tell him that he has the most amazing hotel ever, when I start to wreck shit...

then I woke up

What a WILD Night (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So I woke up at about 6:30 and began to write down my dreams when about halfway through I stoped and lay own for a while. So after a bit I remembered how some people would RC in the morning to check for a FA so I did too. I pinched my nose and could still breeth. So I realized I had WILD'd and began to roll out of bed. I fell out and felt nothing when I hit the ground. So I got up and looked around. I was in my house, and nothing seemed to be different. I remembered not to look at myself in bed (whenever I do, I wake up instantly) and decided to see what I could do. I stuck my hand through a wall and phased through the whole thing. I began to wonder if this was a dream, or if I was Astral Projecting. I had heard that Astral Projecting was just a realistic WILD and I wanted to test that theory. I went to my sister's room and saw that there was another person there, someone I'd never seen before. When I turned around and looked back he was gone. So I thought, "Guess it is just a WILD." I decided to see if anyone would notice me and started to jump up and down infront of my sister, but she didn't notice. Then I woke up.

Lazy (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a Gamestop-like store. There were random games that don't exist IRL, and some real ones too. I remember that my sister was there too, and I soon found a corner that had a HUGE tv that was playing Marvel vs Capcom 3. So I got exited because I've been wanting to play it and my sister and I were always playing Marvel vs Capcom 2. My vision suddenly became distorted and I felt like I was so tired that I could barely open my eyes. So I still tried to play the game. I set us up and we started playing. I was doing way better then I normally would, and so my sister left. As I was browsing the menus suddenly became more distorted and could barely keep my eyes open.

Lucid at Last (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So I'm at my school again, when something prompts me to RC. Probably the fact that the school is empty. I pinch my nose and go lucid. So I feel extremely happy and satisfied that I'm LDing and stay calm enough that the dream doesn't destabilize. So I decide that my first priority is to clear up the dream. So I start to rub my hands and focus on the dream. It clears up, but I notice that only the things I focus on become super clear, which disappoints me a little. (I had been hearing about how when you focus on a dream it becomes super real) So I decide to test my dream control and make one of the passing DCs give me his gun (???). So suddenly I wake up and fall asleep almost instantly after waking.
I guess I fell asleep fast enough that I retain lucidity. I am in the same area and see what would happen if I jumped down the big ass stairs at my school. I fly down them and wee that the next room was replaced with a room with a banner that says "Welcome, Lucid Dreamer!" I think alriiiiiggggghhhhttt and fly around the room, which it turns out is hosting the Oscars. So the host is talking about who won what award when I fall to the ground and wake up in the same position I fell in.

Payback (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The dream starts IN SPACE!!!!!!! The location is a literal space "ship." It looks like a pirate ship, only with a series of pipes on the bottom. Instead of participating in the dream, I am instead watching Zuko from Avatar attempting suicide. He is in the pipes and starting to make his way to space. He jettisons from the ship and starts to die when Uncle (also from Avatar) saves him and starts making a bullshit speech about not death when they go back aaannnndddd the scene changes. Suddenly I am at my cousin's house. In it I find CoD: Black Ops. I get exited because I have never played it and want to see what it's like. So I begin playing when suddenly I am in the game. So for some reason instead of shooting I'm going Sam Fisher on the bad guys by sneaking and assassinating them a la Halo Reach. Soon though two enemys see me and begin shooting me with a rocket launcher. My team finally arrives though and we kick major ass. So I grab the rocket launcher and see ammo for it taped to the wall. I fill it up and we begin to climb a huge flight of stairs. When we reach the top, one of my teammates falls off and somehow starts walking on the wall. He says to get him down I have to kill him. Something about a machine that kills him, his skin falls off, a restraunt, and fancy bathrooms with fast food joints in the bathroom.

Dream Within a Dream Within a Dream (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was actually a fairly recent dream. I had it a few days ago, and thought that it was fun enough to post .

I start out in a abandoned building with some of my RL classmates. We're just standing around waiting for someone, I can't remember who. The person we were waiting for arrives and explains to us that we are now in a "Dreaming Compotation." We're going to be divided into teams of four and sent into a dream together where we will try to kill the other players on the opposing teams and wake them up. So we are divided up and I get with my teammates to enter the dream. We all get in a circle and the person pulls out an Inception suitcase for us to enter the dream.
(I'm going to count this as Lucid because I knew I was dreaming and I had all the powers that LDing entails)We enter the dream. It's a sunny day without a cloud in the sky. I'm in the parking lot to a nearby Safeway. I see a wooden car nearby and dive in with my group. I sit in the back with another student while the last two take up positions in the front. I look around and see all the other teams are also in similar wooden cars. We're trying to race to a certain building. I remember that this was challenging because the steering wheel was on one side of the car and the gas and brake was on the other. So we start the race when all of a sudden, both of the people driving were killed by getting shot. I'm in the back trying to find out what killed the drivers when my other teammate is also picked off. I see that next to the sun is the moon. Upon closer inspection, I see that there is a sniper on the moon, killing every player he sees. So I know that I need to escape and I jump to the front seat with the gas and brake and scream, "STEERING WHEEL!" This instantly puts a steering wheel in the right place. So I drive off and crash into a wall of a nearby building, which I believe I need to go into. I phase through the wreck and wall into a single room without a ceiling. One of my teachers is there, waiting at a table in the corner of the room. There are a few other students there, about 15. She says that we passed the first layer and we can now go into the second. I see that there are various gameboards in a circle in the center of the room. She splits us up again, this time into teams of 5. She also says that the gameboards are what we will go into when we fall asleep next to them, and that they are all somehow connected. So I talk to some other students before going to my gameboard.
I fall asleep next to it when suddenly there is a flash and I am in a room made of concrete and with only metal desks populating it. Suddenly, I think of the sniper, and how I might be sleeping where he has a clear shot at me. So I wake up into the first layer and move to where I am near the gameboard, but where I can't get sniped.
I re-enter the second layer and see that it is the same. I get my bearings when one of my teammates, apparently named "Sam," teleports in. She makes a microscope appear to examine something. I ask her something when she freezes and says that "Real Sam" was killed and that she was now just a DC. This worries me as to what is happening up above. So then I turn the room into a fancy party and fill it with DCs to make it less suspicious to opposing teams.
I see that some Indian girl has entered the room and was approaching me. I knew somehow that this meant trouble, so I summoned a pistol and gunned her down. None of the other DCs seemed to notice/care. This old woman then enters and says she captured all of my teammates and killed Sam. I get pissed and say, "I want my teammates back now." This makes them appear behind me. The old woman starts to make the room shake and I know I have to kill her. I try a machine gun, but the bullets just bounce off. She then grabs me by my neck. I think of a way to escape before choking to death. I scream, "GRANADE," and she shoves me back, thinking I do have a grenade. I laugh, and summon an actual granade. When it explodes near her, she just shrinks instead of blowing up. Thinking of Inception, I get a granade launcher and start laughing my ass off and quoting Eames with, "You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling." Me and my teammates then fire at her repeatedly while running around the room. She is finally shrunk to a level where I just crush her. I laugh with my team and start to walk away when the room shakes again. All the DCs stop and turn on us. I think, "Shit. This must be the old lady's fault," when I'm grabbed by a DC and thrown on a table. They then proceed to cut me in half with a cake knife.
I then woke up IRL. It took me a few moments to affirm that I wasn't bleeding. Or dead.

Paranormal Dreams 2 (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Just to start out, when I dream there is sometimes a reoccurring mall. The layout of the mall is the same everytime, but every new dream with it involves a new area or the stores are jumbled up.
So it starts out and I'm in a new room in the mall. There is a bridge in the center, under the bridge is a seemingly bottomless pit. On both ends of the bridge are concrete rooms. I go onto the bridge and start to walk to the other side. Soon many people I know appear on both ends of the bridge. I start to panic for I know that the bridge cannot support us all. The bridge actually begins so become thinner as I think about falling until it is like a tightrope. Then one of the DCs starts talking about Paranormal Activity 2. I begin to laugh at it because I think that that movie is crap (just IMO, if you like it, that's alright. I know how many people are scared by it.). So as I laugh harder the scene begins to switch. I'm now flying over many areas, like NYC and a forrest. I'm no longer bashing PA2, but some disembodied voice is. It keeps on going and laughing through the rest of the dream. Soon I am spectating a medic from TF2 as he discusses something with one of the Blackwatch troops in Prototype. They are on a grassy cliff overlooking a patch of grass with a bright light at the bottom. Suddenly the medic jumps into the patch and swipes up the light with a regular cup. He begins to panic because the pit will explode soon. But before he can jump out, something happens involving PA2. All I know is that is was scary as fuck and now I am scared of that movie.
I woke up and immediately tried to WILD unsuccessfully.
