Dream Journal

Pretty decent recall this morning, but I was a bit lazy with writing stuff down

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I was walking through my local forest with an old college friend named Abbie, looking for creatures. We didn't find anything, so we walked out to the nearby walkway just outside. The overall scenery was very familiar and normal, though the forest was a little more bumpy than usual. Out on the walkway was an abandoned building, which was large and noble from the outside. However, inside was broken and messy, with large holes in the floor that peered down into a huge open void. Arceus from Pokemon was up on the ground floor, but didn't do much before vanishing due to a distraction with a dragon down in the hole. My step father headed down to fight the dragon, and Trump soon followed. Trump gets an unlucky descension and gets his body stuck in a toilet - only his head and neck are poking out from inside the toilet bowl. I tried to help him, but he had already drowned before I could do anything. I left the building with Abbie and was immediately swarmed by an endless army of mice knights storming from the right. We ran towards them and cut across right again to find another avenue to escape from. Unfortunately, more armies cut off our every choice of direction until they caught up with us and surrounded us. I then woke up

On May 14th 2012 I had my first induced lucid dream, exactly seven days after I had discovered lucid dreaming and began researching it. Today is my seventh day since returning to lucid dreaming, and I wish I could say I had a positive experience after my first week back. However, today was a nightmare as I attempted and failed a WBTB. I woke up 4 hours after I had fallen asleep, scribbled down today's dreams, and then went back to bed 30 minutes later. Whatever I did this morning absolutely killed my recall, but at least I managed to pull something from it

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I started off in a massive outdoor gymnasium, with huge slanted trampolines connecting to large foam pits. It was dark, and the only sources of light were the dim lights surrounding the area. There seemed to be a competition going on between two school friends - one of which was Tom, but not from the previous dream. I decided to go into the entrance of the forest outside my house, which was nearby this outdoor gymnasium. I spoke to my friend Reece about the poor performance of the contestants in the competition, After finishing the brief conversation with Reece, I walked up to a nearby house - it was still dark outside, and the house seemed to be abandoned but in good condition, albeit a little untidy. I walked through the front door, which was open when I arrived, and looked up the stairs that were immediately viewable from the porch. There was a dim light on at the top of the stairs, and suddenly a beautiful, older Asian woman appeared at the top of the stairs, wearing a silky, white night dress. Although she had long black hair, she was too old to be the girl from the previous dreams. She seemed to be struggling with something, so I offered to help her by carrying her empty bin outside for her. She seemed thankful, then I woke up to my alarm

This is all I could remember, all of which came from the 15 minutes or so of REM sleep that I had before my alarm went off. The construction outside started earlier than usual so it made it very difficult to get back to sleep to perform the WBTB. Perhaps this is why my recall was so terrible, as the dreams should have been much more vivid at that point, but unfortunately I couldn't remember anything when I woke up from the second half of my sleep

Recurring elements:
-School
-Local forest

Notes:
-Went to bed at 2:50am and set an alarm for 7am. I got up shortly after, which gave me about 15-20 minutes of REM sleep and enough to extract a few dream fragments for today's entry. I went back to sleep at 7:30am, performed some unsuccessful mantras and woke up at 12pm with nothing to extract
-Although the dreams at 7am were fresh, I wouldn't consider them vivid
-I will not try WBTB again until the construction is finished

Unfortunately, my excellent recall from yesterday didn't quite continue, but I managed to get enough to fill over half an A4 page in notes. I'm starting to think these poor recall attempts are challenges that will benefit me and really exercise my brain in the morning. Perhaps they are a blessing in disguise, and I'll go further in a shorter amount of time with such intense recall attempts each morning

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

The earliest moment I could recall was taking the bus from a road just outside my house, yet again stressing about arriving on time. Upon arriving at my destination, seemingly after a fade-to-black teleport, I began a fashion class and was seated next to a girl with long black hair. She seemed to be the same girl from the first dream of this series, only her aura was more confident and a little intimidating due to her beauty. She also had more makeup on, which I suppose is fitting for a class about fashion. I'd like to think she resembles a Chinese girl my friends didn't get along with, they called her 绿茶, or "Green Tea Bitch". Once the class ended, I took a bus into the local village nearby to buy some snacks. I never actually entered the shop, and in retrospect, I realize now that the shop was in the wrong location compared to IRL. My dad came to pick me up from the village, and he took me back to where the class was held, only now it was a chef-related job. I had to work with my dad and some teenaged guy, who I was furious at and almost started a fight with. I hated the way he acted, but the details are blank. I got too frustrated to stay in this kitchen/classroom hybrid, so I left back to the village again, only this time my friend Louis was waiting to pick me up in his car. I got in, and we travelled down a short road before I suggested we turn right into a car park, but he mentioned that it's no longer free to park there, so we turn left instead. Louis suddenly decided to make an extremely unsafe left turn in the middle of the road, almost crashing into a black car with an older man inside. The man was furious, but I tried to calm him down with an apologetic gesture through the window. Louis finally continued to drive and take a right turn on to a main road, as the dream began fading into a lost fragment or the end of my sleep cycle

I vaguely remember a fragment of a dream where I talked about Pokemon in a dark, ground floor office lobby. It could fit right after the fashion class, as I believe the person I was talking to was a black haired girl

After 30 minutes of fighting against the yet again continuing construction in the morning, I managed to pull together these fragments and stitch them into what feels like a chronological order. I went out in the afternoon after writing my notes down, and made sure to do many reality checks during my bus journey, which seems to be a common dream element for me now

Recurring elements:
-School
-Family, home
-Local area
-Black haired girl for the second time in a week
-Stressful bus journey on time constraints. Stress in general is common it seems
-Getting angry at someone for the second time

Notes:
-Fell asleep just before 2am and woke up at 9:30, began intense recall at 9:50 and was done by 10:30
-Dreams were not very vivid, but good effort at recall has stuck them in my brain

Finally some decent recall, although still somewhat disturbed by loud construction, and likely poor sleeping habits too. These notes took up an entire A4 page, which is the largest dream recall effort since restarting

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

As far back as I could recall, I was starting off in my living room at home, standing on the stairs and watching an embarrassing clip of a speech or performance from my old school days. I got off the stairs and decided to play with my dog on the sofa and carpet for a little while. Eventually, I found myself at the beach on another organized trip with Nat, from a previous dream. I saw the entire area from a birds eye view, and instead of the usual stony beaches of Brighton, it was a cartoonishly bright yellow beach, with a lush cyan ocean. There were large, old, stone-grey buildings inland. I hung out with Nat for a while, but I can't remember exactly what we did together.

Before I knew it, I ended up in an apartment I apparently owned, which was located on my Grandmother's road, but somehow within reach of Brighton Beach. The apartment was a little messy, as if it had just been sold with all the furniture untouched, and it was quite dark and gloomy inside. Instead of being with Nat at this point, I was with an old school friend named Tom. I found a wild boar in the kitchen, with its head stuck in a wooden board that was painted as a gnome, with its a hole cut-out where its face would go, like something you'd find at an amusement park. I informed Tom that the boar needed help being freed, and he came to assist me. He tried yanking the boar's head out, but I suggested we try pulling it from its body instead, as it would fit through the hole much more easily. We slipped the boar out, and it bit me as it frantically escaped and began charging around the kitchen in panic. I came up with the idea to open all doors leading from the kitchen to the front door, so that it had a path to escape, but it didn't seem to work. I headed outside, where I found myself at the entrance to the large, stone-grey buildings I had seen from a bird's eye view, and forgot about the boar, waiting with Tom for Nat to text me back about meeting up. She didn't reply, so I headed out to find somewhere to eat, which was conveniently next to the building complex. I headed between a red and white circus tent on the beach, and the building I had just left, up a wide avenue that eventually connected to an equally wide building. Inside was a long stretch of red and gold carpet, with a counter at the end run by one male and one female staff members. Instead of ordering food, which seemed to be a buffet of some sorts, I headed back out to the main square by the building complex, and called Nat, who didn't pick up.

I headed to a supermarket called Asda, to pick up an insulin shot for my dog (or perhaps the boar?), which began a stressful journey to safely deliver the exposed and delicate syringe, I saw the exact same bird's eye view from earlier, and then found myself in a classroom when it faded. I noticed Tony, a famous advertiser from a Chinese company named LC Sign, getting bullied by a nerd named Matt, who was a classmate of mine alongside Tom many years ago. Matt had said something that really upset Tony, who was now flailing and on the verge of tears. After seeing this, I approached Matt from behind and pushed him down to his chair, and then furiously threatened to rip his head off. He didn't seem to acknowledge my presence, so I left the classroom and landed back at the main square by the beach. I got on to a bike and continued my stressful quest to deliver the exposed syringe, which seemed to be located at the buffet from earlier. I cycled down the long avenue, across the red carpet and dismounted at the counter where the same two staff members began to get agitated that I wasn't buying anything. The female worker, who was fairly young and wearing glasses, demanded that I pay £100 for wasting time. The male worker, who was a little older, stepped in to defend me and dismiss the accusations.

I left the buffet for a second time, and found myself in the square yet again. This time, Nat actually responded to me and I met up with her outside the science block of my old school, where I showed her a video that broke down the design of the building my apartment was located in. It showed a long, narrow strip of rooms connected, and mine was at the end. The male narrator informed us that my room was called "Warren House", and a 3D render of the narrow strip of rooms was animated as it broke it down to explain. The dream then ended with a third and final bird's eye view of the area, exactly the same as the prior two

Considering how terrible my recall situation has been, this was a very solid entry for once. I'm very happy with how many details I remember, even 7 hours after scribbling the notes. I'm excited to see what my dreams are like tomorrow morning

Recurring elements:
-Nat, second time she has been featured
-School, marking the fourth dream out of five this week
-Family, home. This would be the third(?) dream out of five
-Travel, the second dream travelling with Nat in particular

Notes:
-Slept at 2am, woke up at 10am
-Recall was initially a challenge, but managed to piece together a lot in 30 minutes
-I wouldn't say the dreams were vivid, despite good recall

First of all, what an insane title for this dream. Neighbours continue to do construction exactly at the time I start trying to recall and connect dream fragments...

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I find myself as school, yet again, but it's much bigger and almost maze-like due to the sheer amount of small buildings around the pathways connecting them. I was in a science class with old friends, messing around and being terrible students. We decided we would go on a trip, but my company shifted into one girl, nicknamed Nat. Her and I's plan was to travel to a random city for fun, something we've been planning to do IRL. I can't recall what we did, but on the way back we panicked about time and money. We stopped off at a small Cafe for some food, but it was now me and my aunt, as well as others I couldn't identify. I left and re-entered this Cafe as well as repeating a food order for some reason. After leaving, I found myself in a jungle with the school friends mentioned before. One friend asked me to find him a porn video, which I found, but somehow couldn't share the link with him. I felt very uninterested in doing so anyway. As the jungle trek continued, over a large log connecting two cliff faces, I found myself with yet again new company, this time Katie Price (a British celebrity) and her disabled son Harvey. We found an outdoor cinema built into a jungle opening, which extended down many layers. Harvey was fascinated by this cinema, but we really had to leave. It was a challenge convincing him to go, but succeeded anyway. We now arrived at my dad's house, where Harvey had discovered my collection of ecchi anime that, for whatever reason, came with a boxset of 13 extremely thick dictionaries. I pleaded with my mother to confiscate the tray full of ecchi anime and dictionaries from the poor disabled man that was definitely not ready to try and comprehend what he might discover. I remember seeing a projection of an anime girl wearing a blue Japanese swim team costume twerking in a gif format. She had tanned skin and shoulder-length green hair. I then asked my mother why there were so many dictionaries, before drifting off into a black void.

Not the most interesting dream, but it is certainly hilarious to think back on. Again, recall was very difficult on this one, but given my similar experience yesterday, I kept relaxed through the loud construction work and managed to piece together enough of the dream to fill up 2/3 of a page in my notebook. Good enough

Recurring dream elements:
-School, for the third night in row. No surprise given how common this has been for 15 years. Unfortunately, cannot take advantage of it much
-Travelling and worrying about missing trains or not having money. Seems stress leaks into my dreams often

Notes:
-Considering adding sleep/wake up times for future entries to recalculate REM
-Also considering paying attention to waking up during the night, and if dreams happened. Rarely happens though
-Would like to focus more on mantras, had no luck last night. Almost accidentally committed to a WILD attempt, but was not prepared for it so I moved and ended the spinning+visualization I suddenly experienced

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

Been a while since I typed any dreams up.

I was on Neopets, talking to JoeyBelgier about something. He started to get angry at me, which made me confused. I replied to him, trying to apologize for whatever I had done. I then found myself at school, talking to Joey. I can't remember anything other than random blog scenes in my head.

The school dreams are coming back.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

Recall wasn't good, but I got 2 recorded down.

I was at a building, which looked like a fortress or something. The walls were white and the whole area was pretty much a country. There were vast fields and a couple of trees around the area. It seemed so empty, so I decided to go inside. I climbed up the right wall and found a well shaped hole. I feel down and landed in an elevator, next to a woman. She started to hit me so I jumped up and tried to push her off the side as the elevator started. It went up (which makes no sense, because I cam from the roof...) and I struggled to fight this woman. I suddenly knew about this scene from somewhere else, but I don't think I have seen this before. Maybe Déjà vu. I punched her in the jaw, then she fell back and got crushed by the rising elevator platform. Her flesh and skin was ripped off and a bloody skeleton was just rattling on the side. Very brutal. After a couple of seconds, the elevator reached the top and I exited out of a little hatch to the left. It was like an air vent or something. I crawled through some pipes and saw a room, with weird claws coming out of the walls. I went past it, the crawled through the entrance to this room. I found a Skyrim healing potion, which looked trapped. Instead of stepping on the floor, I stepped on some boxes just in case. I picked up the potion and crawled back to the pipe. I then headed outside, coming out from the well that I climbed down. I jumped off of the wall and landed on the floor safely. In the distance was a girl, who looked pretty evil. There were people fighting her, so I thought I would help. The girl had blonde hair, a pink dress and she was rather small. I ran over to her and she started to run away from everyone, really fast. I then had a flashback of Super Mario trying to catch Princess Peach. From this point on, the girl was named Peach. Soon, the girl disappeared and a guy in a small Lego car drove out. Everyone was chasing him and I managed to find a car, which I chased him in. I kept crashing but this guy managed to drop kick him out of the car and everyone ran up to him. I had another flashback, but of Bowser talking to someone in a dark room.

This dream was pretty vivid but hard to remember.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

It may sound fun to people, but actually it was scary as hell.

I was in a water park, by myself. I could see other school students on the slides, but I was by myself. I climbed up the stairs to one of the slides, then sat down and started going. I was going slow, then suddenly I just zoomed down it and went round a corner. I slipped up the side and went over. Luckily, I landed on another slide, which was level with the slide I was just on. I zoomed down the other slide and landed at the bottom safely. I then spoke to some people at the top of another slide. It was really cool being able to land on the other slide, but still scary. I tried again, still zooming down the slide at a fast speed. This time, I jumped onto the other slide, then went around a corner and fell off the side, causing me to fall and land in the water. I woke up straight after I hit the water.

Think what you want, but I still shit myself .

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

A very scary dream, causing me to wake up during the night.

I started off in school, talking to my friend Tom about his birthday party. I was unsure about going there, because of my lack of social skills. I decide to go anyway. I was then on a bus, driving there. I hate buses the most, especially going by myself. I remember not having a clue where I was, nor when the party was or where it was located. The bus stopped, I panicked, then got off the bus with everyone else. I got off and saw my sister, so we walked up a road together. At the end of the road, was a mansion. There were lots of people crowded around. Inside the window of part of the mansion, there was a VERY creepy statue. It was like a little boy, covered in bandages. It was just staring at us. I then teleported to a room, with my grandma and sister. They were watching TV while I explained something to them. I said "If the nightmare monster comes, I can get lucid and shoot it with a fireball!" I put my hands together and they glowed. I opened my hands before a fireball could charge up. I then watched TV with them, but the screen of the TV was basically my vision. It was like a spectator mode dream. There was a woman lying in bed. She turned over to her right side, only to be greeted by the scariest fucker I have seen. It was led in her bed just staring at her while she screamed. It had dark muddy skin, wide eyes, weird muddy hair and blood around it's mouth and on it's teeth. It laughed at her and then said "The reincarnation has arrived!" I woke up in fright and shock.

I struggled to get back to sleep after that .

This dream was really awesome.

I was walking through a shop, by myself. My mum works at this shop, so I saw her. She was speaking to other work members quite near me. I helped her carry out some boxes, then I dropped them off and walked away, into the clothes sections. I found a pair of golden swords underneath the clothes. I picked them up and them decided to sneak around the shop like a ninja. The swords were very similar to the one I held in Egypt. I then walked over to a girl, which looked a lot like OctoberWind. She told me to meet her before hand, at the shop entrance. After, she walked away and I followed. When i got out of the shop, she was gone and I was in a train station, waiting for my mum to pick me up in her car. I got bored of waiting and decided to leave by walking. I found myself at school, showing every my swords which looked plastic and shiny. I had one in my pocket at it looked blue. The dream ended with me walking through a tunnel, holding these swords in a combat stance.

OctoberWind was in the dream because I had another dream about her before. I was play fighting with her on my bed .

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

Managed to have at least some kind of control in this one. Plus I had another lucid after this one! 2 dreams in one night is good progress.

I started off in my bed, just after a false awakening. I closed my eyes and tried to get into a dream, which worked. I was lucid straight away!I didn't bother to do a reality check, I just stabilized. I then pulled my dick out awkwardly and walked over to the teacher. She looked at me then bent over the table.

I had another false awakening.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

I really enjoyed this dream, but it was so weird.

I started off walking around school with a bunch of girls in my class. We somehow teleported over to the school bathroom. The group I was with narrowed down to me and 3 other girls. I was sat up against a wall and I heard singing. For some reason, it annoyed me so I elbowed the wall and the voice shut up. After that, I was alone with one girl. I walked over to her and asked for sex. She said okay, so we went into the cubicle and started it. Suddenly a computer interface popped up and we browsed the internet.

Very weird, but fun.

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

This was a pretty funny dream, but very short.

I started off down the road from my house, with 2 friends from school. We were playing with some guns, which led to there being zombies around the corner. I shot a zombie, then another one crawled out from under a car just ahead. I said "looks at that crawler..." then ran away, towards my house with one of my friends. We left the other one by himself. We entered my house and the dream ended.

Thanks for reading.

I loved this dream, although my mind hurt during it.

I started in school, in one of my classes. Can't remember what class, but I was just leaving. I walked outside into the school courtyard and saw a few people around, more than I would normally dream about. I then saw a wizard, who I went to go and talk to. I spoke to him and he taught me how to summon dream fragments. He said "Look over at that building..." then lifted his hands, level to his face. He then pulled out a huge cloud with an image in it. The cloud rose from the building, about a mile away. Inside was a woman dressed in red clothes, staring at the sky. It looked like she was in some wooden shack. I then tried, but I failed. I then experience a very odd FA. I became semi lucid and said "That was summoned when I was dreaming!" then performed a failed RC. It was like I woke up in the same dream. I then lost that semi lucidity and began trying to summon a dream fragment. I kept failing and it felt like my hands were going to implode everytime I attempted. I got bored and then walked out of shcool with a girl. As we arrived at the forest, located in the middle of my school and house, I attempted to dream bend one last time. This time I concentrated fully, on an appropiate building in the distance. I failed, but this time my hands were extremely numb and tight. I gave up and walked with the girl some more. Me and this girl then found a house abandoned in an empty field. We went inside and walked up some stairs. The room looked like it was an upstairs conservatory. I then had an thought that this girl was going to do sexual things with me and I said "Oh great, I'm going to get my dick sucked...". The girl walked off and I noticed a TV had appeared, with a video of someone playing Call of Duty. I walked into the same room as the girl went and notcied another TV, with the same video on.

I enjoyed this dream, but I'm not sure what this FA was, nor what this magic was. I hope to discover what they are .

Awake|Dreaming|Lucid

The final dream I had about the anime drawing.

I started out in the school tennis courts, with lots of students playing a sport. After a coule of seconds playing, I pretended to fight with a friend, then notcied a group of about 25 people were crouding around the fence to the right. I looked over there but I couldn't see anything, so I decided to walk home. I teleported to the forest and sprinted through. I noticed 3 or 4 people blocking the way, but I ran straight past them. 2 of them laughed at me for no reason, so I stopped and asked them what was funny. I then carried on going, then got pissed off and spoke to them again. They finished laughing and I walked the rest of the way home. When I arrived inside my house, I showed my sister and parents my anime keyring. I said to them "Look what I drew today!" then the dream faded.
