It was my first time taking the test, and I did absolutely no studying for it. Okay, back on topic, I got to bed around 11:15, which wasn't bad. I had two very clear dreams, which was rather nice. In the first dream, I'm a pirate on the high seas. I have a cannon to battle vile sea monsters with, and a shabby pirate crew. We sail the ocean and prey on the weak, sinking all who oppose us. It was really quite fun. The most interesting thing was that the entire crew was made up of DV members, I believe. This also isn't my first pirate dream. I guess I like pirates... _________________________ 28.10.2009Russian debate (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In the second dream, my sister is looking to debate someone on DV, preferably a Russian. I have no idea why, or to what point and purpose, but the dream itself was extraordinarily clear. The text and avatars of all the members (about 7 or so) was very clear and perfectly legible. The dream itself didn't last long, but it was very vivid and lifelike.

I remember the pig smelled and tasted divine, and that I was really great at playing the hylophoner. Not much, not terribly exciting...

I had a four-dream night, and at least three of those dreams were quite vivid. In the first dream, I'm standing in my garden, which is now pockmarked with gopher holes. Some of them are just stopping by, but some of them are long-term pests. I go on a hunt for the long-term gophers and leave the passers-by be. To get the gophers, it's very much like a game of whack-a-mole in that they pop up every so often, and I have to grab them before they burrow again. It was actually a lot of fun. _________________________ 24.10.2009Cujo Bambi (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In the second dream, I'm in my grandparent's yard, doing nothing of particular interest. It seems like we're about to go hunting for deer, which is odd because I don't hunt, or eat deer. At any rate, we're standing in our yard, when this family of deer come traipsing by. A couple of them have antlers. My parents are oblivious to this, and one of the smaller deer comes up to me. I reach out to it, and pet it. The deer seems to like this. The deer is my friend now. I take the deer inside, but then the deer meets the dogs, and it starts flipping out. It goes all foamy at the mouth and starts snarling. This was no ordinary Bambi deer - this was Cujo deer, and it was baaaad. My parents raised the shotgun, and the dream ended. _________________________ 24.10.2009Help on Dream Views (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The third dream was a bit fuzzier than the others; more of a fragment, really. I'm on the computer, responding to a post requesting help of some sort. I remember that there were a handful of evenly-spaced lines with short amounts of text in each line. I can't remember what the post was about, however. _________________________ 24.10.2009Real-life video games (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This dream was a bit odd. I was in some sort of odd place that was not unlike a mini-golf course I remember from a different dream. I think the main gist of it was that it was a pokemon spinoff game. It was very unusual, but the games were fun and quite challenging. It's hard to describe, but it was a very cool dream. Later, it skipped to someone bulldozing great swaths of land for a golf course.

I remember three dreams last night, and two of them were incredibly vivid. In my first dream, I don't remember too much, but I know that I was driving down the highway without headlights at night. I think I could see very faintly, but not well. It was only when I was almost home that I remembered the headlights and flicked them on. _________________________ 23.10.2009Talking to fish (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In the second dream of the night, I'm transferring beta fish and goldfish to new bowls from the store bags. As I move them, I talk to them, for whatever reason. It was kinda fun, though. At any rate, I think I was moving the fish because I had some sort of new custommade product or something, and the fish were a part of it. The main part of the dream is a bit fuzzy, but the bit with the fish is crystal-clear. _________________________ 23.10.2009I don't know where I'm a gonna go when the volcano blows (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This was a fun little dream. I'm looking at maps of the world, trying to find islands known for their violent volcanic eruptions. I come across a place called the "Wichita Belt," and whenever I say "Wichita," I get ominous sound effects in the background. I was talking to a friend about all of this, and he informed me that the Wichita Belt (cue ominous sound) was the most volcanically-active region in the world. He cautioned that it was an extremely dangerous place. Well, this is exactly what I'd been looking for. The scene skipped ahead to me standing on a particular island at night. I was getting ready to watch a Jeff Dunham performance in person, along with the natives of the island. That's when a lava flow began creeping down the hill. This bright-red, viscous mass of lava was headed straight for us, but was creeping relatively slowly. Dunham toppled a steel block in front of the magma's path, effectively buying us a bit of time before we all had to run for our lives. He continued on with his show, and instructed Walter to "guard the block." It was a fun dream, and survive a lava flow is actually one of my lucid tasks. Had I been lucid, that would've been awesome!

Hopefully, with the apporaching weekend I'll be able to catch up on sleep and remember more. In my first fragment, I'm reshaping districts to help the Democrats stay in office. Once again, I blame my U.S. Government class. _________________________ 22.10.2009The Lost Symbol fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In my second fragment, I'm running through a department store, I think. I was trying to get the box from Dan Brown's book so I could insert the ring and turn it 33 degrees, etc. to get the hinges to pop open and reveal the next clue. Just finished this book, so I'm not terribly surprised.

Hmm...at any rate, I had at least one dream last night, and a very dim memory of another, but I recall nothing of it. In the dream I do remember, I've just submitted a bill to the legislature somewhere. In the bill, I believe I was trying to ban the use of the word "glucose" for some reason. I blame my government class. Okay, from here on out, I'm gonna just assume that all my dreams are non-lucid unless otherwise specified.

Since I've been reading Dan Brown's new book, I think this dream was influenced by it. I was on the DV forums, in the off-topic secion, most likely the R/S forum. I was debating the power of the human mind, and whether or not thoughts had mass, which I argued they did. This caught my opponent in the debate (Slash?) completely off-guard. There was some more back-and-forth banter, but the dream ultimately ended in some sort of enlightening revelation. I remember little of it, but the phrase, "Movement is power" seems to be ringing a bell. So yeah, freaky dream...

Did LD mantra, etc. I remember one dream, somewhat faintly. I recall that there was absolute anarchy and chaos, and nothing was making sense. However, there was also a sense of enlightenment and learning, a coming of great knowledge. It was a pretty abstract dream, all in all. I've been reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, which may account for this dream.
Originally Posted by Mario92 18.10.2009Highway laws of Japan (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I had two dreams in total last night, no lucids (partly because I went to bed much too late). I did have, however, two very detailed dreams. In the first one, I'm watching a video explaining how the Japanese highway system works. Apparently, there was a large, wide lane every few thousand feet or so designed so that very large vehicles could get around the smaller, slower traffic. When a person apporaches one of these "wide zones," they are to pull over immediately so that anything behind them can pass. The video went on further to explain that a vehicle had to be approved my some ministry of something before it could use the wide zones. _________________________ 18.10.2009Rediculous, time-stopping nonsense (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This dream was exceptionally strange. Again, I was observing events from the 3rd person point of view. Someone (Maverick?) had slept around with this farmer's daugher in Texas somewhere. When the dude found out, he was pissed. He gathered up all his Texas, redneck, gun-toting buddies for a "shootout" against the accused. Some suggested torturing the guy first by shooting his hands and legs, then slowly working toward the vital organs. Thinking fast, the guy slipped into some sort of conga party. He jumped to the front of the line. The party was being held indoors, and the conga-ers were passing through a doorway. The guy, now apparently having time-stopping capabilities, threw up some sort of time barrier that slowed anyone who passed through it to an incredibly slow speed. It was not slow enough, however. As the accused made his escape, one person from the conga line saw him take the elevator down and out the back exit. By the time anything was done about it, however, the man was already gone.
Originally Posted by Mario92 17.10.2009Messin' around beneath the chemistry lab (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This was a particularly fun dream. I was sitting in my high school chemistry lab, waiting for the teacher to return with the lesson plan. He came up empty-handed, and instead sent myself and my sister to retrieve the plans for him. The catch was that the lesson plans were at the end of a secret labyrinth of hidden passageways and trap doors. He told us to lean on the bookcase in the corner of the room, and to my surprise, it swung freely. We were now on the other side of the bookcase, which was a small room containing a door. All in all, it was really more of a puzzle zone than a labyrinth. The door was locked, and we were required to find the key before continuing. This was easily accomplished, and we disappeared through the door. We were greeted by a hallway containing numerous doors, many of them tricks (i.e. brick walls with a handle that may or may not open up). I opened one door and stepped inside, only to fall down this great, metal slide. To either side of me were stairs, which my sister had chosen to take, instead. The stairs she had chosen, however, ultimately ended in a slide. We were both careening down this enormous metal slide, headed for the bottom, which was a hard-wood floor. It looked similar to a theater. Feeling quite safe, we adjusted ourselves to pick up speed. At the end, we slid across the floor and right into the far wall. There was a curtain just to the right, so we pulled a string and the curtain opened to reveal a bubble blower. There was nothing else, no lesson plans or anything, so we scooped up the bubble blower and headed back from whence we came. The dream ended with my sister blowing bubbles. _________________________ 17.10.2009SAT panic (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID In my dream, I had just taken the SAT's, along with some of my classmates. However, rather than filling in the bubbles for our math, we used notebook paper and a pencil to show our work and record our answers. For whatever reason, the SAT people didn't want to collect our answers immediately. Instead, we were allowed to collaborate and figure the answers out as a group. Some thought it was cheating, and some were just happy to find their answers at all. The dream ended shortly after I figured out what answers went to what section.

Among these dreams was my second lucid. I was sitting in the moonlight in some room somewhere, when it suddenly hits me that I'm dreaming. I become very happy, but I am able to contain it much better this time. Instead of immediately waking up, I try spinning, which was very unusual. My entire vision went black, and I kept reminding myself that I was dreaming. While I was spinning, I also saw advertisements. When I stopped spinning, I was still lucid, but I believe I had a birds-eye view of some forest in Italy, with a bear romping around. I felt the dream fade again, so I spun, which led back to the blackness and the ads. This caused a false awakening, which immediately caused a real awakening. _________________________ 16.10.2009He's a Pirate (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Among my many dreams of the night was one in which I was a pirate on a pirate ship. I was among a portion of the crew that was mutineered agaist my the rest of the crew. We knew that the mutiny was coming, and what the others planned to do to us, so we made preparations. We knew from rope fragments left behind that the other pirates wanted to tie us to the hand railings and dispose of us later. Therefore, while no one was watching, we loosened all the bolts holding the railing down. But then came the mutineers, who tied us up as expected. However, they went so far as to throw towels over our heads so we could not see. Just as they reached me, I woke up. _________________________ 16.10.2009Santa Claus (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I also had a dream about Santa Claus, during his summer break. He was big and fat, and very jolly. He was telling me how he had to pick up his mother and sister. He also said that he should build a second turbo-sleigh, so that his family could fly themselves around. Meanwhile, a friend of mine was just putting the finishing touches on a book of his. He proudly waltzed into the library, run by Mrs. Claus. She looked the book over and remarked on its expert craftsmanship. She said she would add it to the library. _________________________ 16.10.20094.0 Fragment (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I also had a fragment in which I received mini-pins for my 4.0 achievements, something I had no prior knowledge about. By the time they were all attatched, my letter was completely covered by pins. I also remember rearranging the pins on my gold letter. I believe there was also something about a watch with my school mascot, and class rings, too. As far as fragments go, it was fairly detailed. _________________________ 16.10.2009Grandpa (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID My grandfather passed away a few months ago, so I'm not too surprised by this dream. My family and I were going around and naming different plots of land after people past. We finally got to "Grandpa Island." It should be noted that this very plot of land has been visited before in previous dreams, and that I've never seen this area before in reality. The island was a rectangle, with the top third dry and grass-covered, while the rest was reedy and swampy. Apparently, this is where my Grandpa liked to sit and meditate. From there, however, the dream got really strange. All of a sudden, I was living out an autobiography of my Grandpa. I hoisted this enormous tree out of the ground using only brute strength. I then began to bash it repeatedly against a cliff in an effort to break it in half, but the narrator warned against it, so I stopped, for fear of flying shrapnel. There were power lines overhead, so I couldn't lift the tree, but I had to find some way to dispose of it. I was reluctant to throw it over the edge of the cliff and into the sea. So, I sought out other means of disposal. There was a playground, a soccer field, and all kinds of other public places, but none would do. Just as I found a place to dump the tree, I woke up.

Not much detail, overall. _________________________ 15.10.2009Feminism on DV (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The second dream of the night wasn't terribly vivid or exciting. I was on the DV forums, commenting on a thread. The thread title was something to the effect of, "Help for females only." I remember being surprised that such a thread even existed, and posted a comment to that effect. I awoke shortly afterwards.

I was in one of my college classes, probably one of the humanities courses, when my professor gave us all a few titles to translate using the computers. They were just the titles of foreign books, etc., and I had my laptop with me, as I usually do in college. So, he recommends that I get an iGoogle translator application, which I do. The odd thing about this process, however, was that the iGoogle app page had exploded with all kinds of new stuff. There was even a dream journal app linked to some DV member (Walms?). His DJ had an entry about some sort of weird fruit the size of a small car and covered with spiky hair. The fruit was green, and when ripe, would slip out of the hairy shell and fall to the ground. Included with his normal DJ entry was a picture of the colossal trees that bore these fruits. There was also a segment in which he described the fruit as being pleasantly tangy, but if certain pockets of fluids were squeezed, a hot liquid would seep out. It was very unusual. After reading Walms's DJ, I translated the text as instructed. Then, however, there was a "scene skip," as I like to call it, where suddenly one of my co-workers is right behind me, and the iGoogle app page is full of porn apps, which made me feel ashamed, guilty, and embarrassed. One thing I've noticed is that in my dreams, people I know have a tendency to walk in on me when my computer is pulling up all kinds of porn. I have no idea why, to be quite honest. At any rate, it's becoming a regular dream sign. My dream ended shortly after this.

Had a very long, very detailed dream. My English teacher, who had apparently become my boss as well, had asked me to watch her house while she went out of town for a week or so. She had apparently heard that I was an excellent house-sitter, which I am, and wanted me to take care of things. At any rate, I go to her house after school so she can give me the run-down on how everthing is going to work. The strangest thing was that my co-workers were there, and we were assisting customers from her kitchen. She had the computers all set up, and we were taking money at the register. A little further in the dream, and I can remember one of my co-workers trying to blame me for something I didn't do, so I adamantly defended myself. Eventually the issue was dropped and I was able to go about my duties. There was one especially vivid moment for me, too. One of my managers handed me a vase that had some water in it, but needed to be refilled. I took it over to the sink and gave it a drink. I remember how cool and wet the vase felt, which was simply extraordinary. Shortly after this, the scene changed to some sort of graveyard/funeral scene, in which I failed to grasp the gist of what was going on. Then my dream ended shortly after this.

I drive up to my grandmother's house, as I am supposed to meet her for dinner. I walk through the door, but no one is about. At first, I assume the worst, but further inspection leads me to find my grandmother lying asleep on the floor. I'm making clicking sounds, like a bored child will do, which caused her to startle awake, which startled me. The dream ended sometime after that.
