Dating (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I've again not had very good recall the past couple of nights. I really should write stuff down when I wake up, either from an alarm or naturally, because I always forget what I dreamed of by morning. Anyways, this dream was one of those where, when you remember it, you feel really sad because it wasn't true, no matter how possible or not it is.

I'm in some situation, with a friend who I've had a crush on in the past, though never dated. She admits to me that she really has feelings for me, and I tell her the same. We hug. Next, there's a sort of series of scenes, where we're very happy together. The dream ends, or fades into another.

I found this one in my phone from a week or so ago, so it's going up too.

I am in somebody's room on the second floor. There is a TV about two feet away from the foot of the bed, and a screen door leading to a small deck that overlooks the driveway right behind the TV. We are playing the Wind Waker or some other classic game. We then decide to watch a movie, and when we put it on, it's hentai. I accidently drop the movie case and also a yellow egg shaped thing and they somehow manage to roll onto the deck. When I go out to grab them, the deck turns into my porch which is on the first floor. I go back inside to the same room. As the movie starts, I show the person I'm with how to put a DVD into another player attached to the same TV so that we can switch it to something more appropriate if somebody comes up the stairs. On the TV I see a vivid image of spot in New York, with a courtyard beside a skyscraper, and a sculpture on the grass.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

In general, these last days I have been recalling fewer dreams and totally missing good opportunities when they arise, but we all go through these stupid phases, I guess.


23:20 GMT – Sleep

Can’t really recall a dream, but I woke up with obsessive thoughts about dream control and the serial dreaming RPG tasks, so either I was dreaming something related to that or not at all and felt frustrated on waking up.

3:58 GMT

Random fragments
I’m with a group of kids, brothers and sisters and apparently we are very famous. There’s a huge group of fans stalking us and we just have time to hide in some house. Inside there’s a maid who becomes our friend and keeps our location secret. For some reason we stay there for the night and it is absolutely imperative that nobody find us there.
Then I am on some balcony trying to disentangle something (?)
Then I’m on top of a skyscraper in N.Y. I feel a bit of vertigo.
Then I am with some blond guy and we are making a pact to help each other keep some secret only to ourselves.

4:30 GMT

From a train to a slaughterhouse
I’m on a train station platform and from inside a train a friend calls me, says it is last call for this train and if I’m not getting there immediately I’ll have to go on the next. I don’t know where we’re going, but I hop in. I sit and realise that in the seat in front are my friend R., L. and some other person. They are bragging about their dreams. One of them says she can easily use the train ride to snooze a little and will surely come up with at least 2 lucid dreams. Initially I feel envious, but I shudder this feeling, don't want to give in to envy and just ignore them. I look through the window and I see bulls on some field. Half-lucid I start thinking which animal suffers the worst: the bull that roams free his entire life and is then slowly tortured and bleed to death in a bullfighting arena or a cow that lives an entirely miserable existence of pain in some factory farm but then dies supposedly quicker? My doubt lies now in the effectiveness of stunners that are used to leave the animals unconscious before slaughter. So I find myself in a slaughterhouse holding one of such devices to test it. I thought about trying it on myself, but I felt a bit scared of what I would feel, so I just test it on an apple – not a very clever idea, it just gets some burning marks on it. [chicken!]

A portal
I’m on some house of an old couple and their son. We’re in the middle of an empty room and there’s a portal open in the centre of the room. It just appeared out of nowhere. As it shines and waves in the air, in tones of blue, like water, we wonder what it is and if it’s dangerous to cross it and what it is on the other side. The boy gets behind it and throws something across it in our direction. It was like a piece of garbage. Instead of crossing, it just stays there, suspended in the portal, but it performs a strange mystical dance and then becomes a perfect circle form. Then I don't remember much, but I had no will or courage to actually cross it and think I just left this room and house and continued dreaming outside. [idiot!]

Buddhists and new agers
I'm in this foreign country and my mom came to visit me and I decide to show her around. I’m dressed in orange, top and long skirt and with my purple hat. I tell her lots of monks and Buddhist teachers are also in the city at the moment, for some gathering. We see a group of people waiting for a bus on the other side of the road and I tell her “See over there, it’s Mathieu Ricard with some other Tibetan Buddhist monk”. A bit further we pass by another group of monks, and I tell her “And see, look who’s in the middle of these monks, it’s Tich Nhat Hanh.”
Then we see a large entrance to some place, like a garage, not entirely inviting, but lots of new agers gathered there. They invite us in, they are eating what seems to be lentils and vegetables, so we join them. After the meal they behave a bit childish, like when they start doing this clapping hand game I used to play in camps with other kids.

5:30 GMT

Alone in the city
I am again in this foreign city and I know my mom is visiting, although not with me at the moment. I know it is quite far from home and I wonder how she enjoyed the flight. I feel that flying is becoming quite normal to me and I wonder if I’ll ever be afraid of flying. Then it occurs to me that maybe if I fly to Nepal, I might feel scared because lots of planes fall in that area as their flying companies are not so safe.
While I think about all this I am entering a building, following two other girls who enter a public toilet. It is quite big with large mirrors on the wall over the sinks. The girls are mocking me or something, but I ignore them. I go to the mirror and I spend a lot of time there, looking at something in my face as I continue thinking. Because I’m abstracted, the dream transforms and I am now on top of a hill sitting with a guy and a girl on a few steps and the mirror transformed into a glass wall by my left side. Through it I can see a road down the hill and a city on the other side of the road.
Me and this guy and girl are so packed together (don’t know way, as there’s lots of space around) and the guy is flirting me thinking I’m interested. But I couldn’t care less, I get up and decide to move. I go downhill and cross the street. From there I see than on the side of this little hill, there's a bigger mountain with a forest and old houses in the horizon, outside the city and for a moment I consider going there. But hesitated, and decided to just fly around the city. I am lucid but honestly can’t really tell when it started (think it was gradual, from the moment I moved away from this couple of friends).
For a moment I find myself inside a house with a bunch of other people and I change clothes – now I wear a sexy transparent black shirt. Then I’m outside again and I’m a bit distracted and a car almost hits me. I pause on the sidewalk for a while, just looking to the sky and the buildings around. It’s all so luminous. Then I see lots of jets lifting off and I have this impression there’s a lot of rich business people on this city. The jets lift off, one after another, there’s maybe an airport nearby. But then they start behaving strangely, like they are not flying in a straight line, but a bit randomly and then they transform into giant metal birds, with colourful painted wings.
A Russian guy wakes me up from my mesmerisation and tells me he will drive this car, which is parked right by my side and I’m sitting on the sidewalk, so he’s just warning me to get out the way. He is a bit rude, but he is actually concerned about my safety and I feel he is a nice guy. He is a driver, not the owner of the car.
Then I cross the street on the pedestrian walkway. I didn’t look to see if it was green for pedestrians and a wall of cars comes in my direction from both sides. But I am not afraid. As they approach I think "cars keep coming at me but this is my dream and they can’t hurt me, I’ll be like Moises opening the red sea and crossing safely to the other side". It didn’t quite happen that way. It just happened that the cars would pass in front of me or in my back without ever colliding with me, very elegantly. That was nice, but not awesome, so I stay there and decide the cars will lift in the air and freeze and make a wall of cars. This time I point my hand to them to make it happen, but all it happens is that they started levitating, but not with the desired effect. I think “Oh crap, I really suck at this control thing.”, but it wasn’t that bad - at least it was a very sucessful levitation of cars.
Then for some irrational “reason” when I am in the sidewalk I decide I’m not over with this gimmick yet and I walk a bit further down the road until I find a spot that for "some reason” looks good. There I decide to send a purple light ray – actually more like a laser, hard to explain - to the ground, marking an invisible line where the cars will create this wave or wall of cars, when they reach it. But by this time, the traffic diminished a lot. It’s already dawn and I also realised there’s very few people on the street. A guy coming out from a building – looks like a bank – just saw me sending out “laser beams” and with his eyes wide open he freezes on the sidewalk and moves back inside. I can’t believe he is afraid of me!
I lean on some raised flowerbed outside a building, waiting for some car to pass, but nothing! They totally disappeared. Now I feel pissed. I was sure this time it would work! Then I feel so incredibly lonely, as if I was the only one of my kind in the world - nobody with whom to share my reality and my tricks. Then my cat appears by my side and I hug him, but I don’t feel much better.
[Then I felt totally disappointed that I didn’t remember to do any of the tasks I was supposed to do!]

7:15 GMT – Wake up

I took a roughly 20 minute nap earlier and got hypnogogic imagery, and possibly some dreams. For some reason I started getting images from the Triple X movie with Vin Diesel, with parts from the last ending action scene. I might've had some dreams, but by the time my body was relaxed, and imagery flowing, I just was in a relaxed state. I felt like I awoke from sleep after my alarm went off, so I was in some sort of sleep state. Don't know which though.

Disclaimer: This is the first time keeping a formal DJ, so my style may change with time. Just bear with me - I thought it was best to put *something* up even though my recall is terrible and my writing style is poor.

Wow, alright. I'm finally going to commit to keeping my online dream journal. Adopted yesterday by Spockman, and started getting back into the swing of lucid dreaming again, starting with this. I had 3 dreams last night, the last one being a lucid! So in order, non lucids first:

#1
The first, and shortest dream of the night. I have a feeling it may have gone on much longer than I remember, but here's what i recall. I was playing some kind of video game, only not on a TV, it was more like I was actually *in* the game, controlling the character as a third party. It was heavily influenced by Mario galaxy 2, as well as Sin and Punishment (the two games my brother has been playing recently, hehe). The action was taking place inside a long, giant pipe, with transparent walls. All I really remember is the last part of the action - a big spiral platform that ended in 2 exits, one guarded by blocks. The main character, I can't remember who it was, was floating upward, while the aim was to destroy the blocks using the crosshairs for the secret exit. My brother was talking to me about how to beat the level, from somewhere around me, but I couldn't see him. That's pretty much all I remember. But its my first dream record, so I'm confident that will get better.

I really need to stop dreaming about videogames...

#2
This dream was a little awkward. I won't use real names, cause the topic is a little dodgy. I was on msn, and I was talking to this guy V, who had a huuuge crush on our mutual friend, N (though this isn't the case in real life). All i remember was the outcome of the chat, where I had V spouting off about me setting up one of my other friends, R, with his girlfriend. Something along the lines of "There are 100 x 100 x 100....(etc) people in this country, and you had to choose HER." I remember feeling really guilty, almost as if I'd led him to believe something that wasn't true - it certainly wasn't something I would do in reality. He continued to call me a dickwad, and mentioned something to do with R using the same msn as him. This confused me greatly. Just then, the lights turned on and I was in bed, clothed, using my laptop as my mum comes into the room to wish me good morning. It was the same room I fell asleep in, except it was a TOTAL mess - things all over the floor. I remember as soon as the light turned on I jumped to close the laptop lid, signed off msn and started to take my clothes off (? this was really weird...I think it was to act as if I'd onlly just woken up or something). I also hid my laptop under the bed hurriedly as well as my dream journal. Odd.....since I technically don't have a paper booklet-style dream journal in real life, not to mention I totally missed this chance to have a lucid! She was pretty surprised I was awake, but told me straight away to clean up the mess I had made. i remember climbing down to a hidden compartment in the side of my bed, where there was an opened jar of purple crystals, almost like a powder, though I had no idea what these were. All I knew is that they were all over the floor, and for some reason I freaked out. Then, for no apparent reasons at all, the scene changed to a wall-like slideshow. First, a picture of waffles at a local supermarket. Then, a Nazi flag. Then the dream ended.

Seriously fucked up dream right there.

#3
A lucid dream! I can't remember for the life of me how it came about, no RCs, just realised I was dreaming as it went along. I'd say it was semi-lucid, but I *did* know I was dreaming and I did exert some good control. Only problem was the recall, I forgot about half of it, so what I put here is just the end part and a general overview. The setting was some kind of indoor temple arena, almost like the setting for some kind of FPS game. There were 3 chambers, 2 of which were identical but opposite one another, and had large pools of water. There was a third, smaller circular pool in the main room, and a tall altar in the middle. There were a few other people there who I didn't know, all of whom were apparently lucid and testing their dream powers. I find this really interesting - the setting seemed almost like a training ground for lucid dreamers, and I had absolutely no control over these other characters - they were displaying the same world-altering abilities I had. I don't know what people would make of this, I am skeptical about shared dreaming but I was curious if other people had been in a similar dream, maybe?

As the dream progressed, I had forgotten the list of lucid tasks I had set for that week, so instead I was practising a lot of interesting abilities off the top of my head. I was manipulating the ground like some kind of landscaper (think Samuel from Heroes) using a variety of interesting techniques - using telekinesis, a virtual HUD kinda like on Maya or a similar program, even changing gravity to create some weird and wacky shapes with the ground and the water. I practiced dream flying and shooting fireballs too. There was some kind of minotaur looking monster there as an enemy for practice battle, and at some stage I remember my mum (again) coming into the dream to see how I was controlling these things. The final part of the dream was an attempt at transformation, which failed the first time but surprisingly, worked after that! I transformed into a werewolf (a goal I've always wanted to try) but I woke up before it was complete, so I'm not ready to tick this off my list just yet.

Overall, compared to most of my aimless, short, blurry lucids, this one was quite something. It felt like it lasted 30 minutes, maybe longer, and the level of detail was incredible. I managed to go the whole dream without thinking of my sleeping self, and without needing to dream spin or try desperately to keep the dream scene together. I'm thinking this could be because I was trying out a lot of new things, rather than wandering around aimlessly, summoning girls and trying my hand at dream sex *facepalm*. Control seemed good, I just need to focus more on remembering my lucid tasks, and RECALL. I'm a little bummed that I don't remember so much of this dream, when the parts I do remember were above par to what I usually experience in an LD.

Overall, a very successfull first night not long till I head back to bed and hopefully have another lucid!

Azra~

I'm wandering down a long path, holding a sword. It's a really huge sword encrusted with jewels and rubies and such. There was a woman walking in front of me, also carrying a sword. She paused and looked behind me and told me to hurry up.

We soon found a whole army of people walking and holding swords. They were all in pretty good spirits. Mind you, this did not take place in the past. Everyone was wearing modern clothes, and the mix of people was very strange. Young, old, from every which walk of life - we were walking down a path carrying extremely fancy swords.

The dream changed, and I was sitting in a living room. There was a very large little girl being videotaped by what looked like a few highschool kids. They seemed to regard her as a celebrity, and kept calling her princess. She was spouting off all sorts of things about her personal beliefs which I wasn't paying much attention to. Instead, I was looking around at the house which was completely and utterly empty. The only thing remotely interesting about anything inside the house was one bright green wall, which really wasn't a whole lot to look at.

There was a very large angry looking woman in the room who I hadn't noticed previously. I suggested we play cards and began shuffling and dealing as everyone came and sat in a wide circle. I had intended for us to play solitaire. They were playing it all wrong, and I interrupted and said, "you know we're playing solitaire, right?"

The large woman looked at me with rage. I wasn't scared, mostly annoyed. "You can't play solitaire with a deck of cards," she said, "You can only play it on the computer. The computers have a deck of cards that is designed specifically for the playing of solitaire."
Of course, it didn't occur to me that what was really wrong was that we were playing with more than one player - hence, solitaire. Nonetheless, I argued with her saying how solitaire came before computers and you could play solitaire with a normal deck of cards. I explained to her that I'd played it many times on my own with a deck of cards without a computer. The woman became angry with me and I stormed outside.

I went to sit on a curb outside of the house. I noticed that several of my fish were in fish bowls. I had to feed them, I realized. I kept knocking over the fish bowls and watching as they began floundering about and suffocating on the ground. I would hurriedly scoop them up and look around frantically for their bowl. Sometimes I'd find a cup with a bit of water or something in it and shove them quickly inside before finding their bowl. I felt I had many more fish around than I had previously.

There was one fish, who, was completely red. It was swimming about and as I stared at it was thinking of how completely beautiful it was. I realized that it had a tiny human body, and was a woman. It's hard to explain. She had arms and a face, but the rest of her was a fish. She stood up on the water, in the water. She waved and made a funny face by sticking her tongue out at me. I was taken aback... I wanted to take her somewhere else to have a talk because I realized that there were people all around me.

As I walked with the fish, things became blurry.

I was wandering alone on a seemingly empty street. There was a car up ahead and I decided to follow it so I might find my way out of here. The car stopped and pulled into a driveway at the end of a dead end.

A woman came running out of her house and handed me two bagels and a loaf of bread. She told me the bagels were the best, there weren't many but they were delectable.

Dream changes. I'm inside a house and there are several people playing drums. I think I know them, they seem incredibly familiar. They talk to me about how I should start playing a hand drum. I say that I would like that but I don't have one.

A man, who looks like someone I know, tells me that he can give me one of his old ones. He says it was his favorite, but he has a new one now. I thank him.

... I think that's about it.

I was in some dimly lit small room with my friend, and I was holding my ipod touch. She wanted to look at it, so I entered the unlock code, and she was able to scroll through the music. She tapped on the artist "Coldplay", and it went to the list of songs I had of theirs on my ipod.

However, it only showed "Clocks", and I remember distinctly reading that word. She asked, "that's all you have?" and I looked at it. The other two songs I had on it loaded within a few seconds; one appeared and then the other a few moments later.

Notes:
Today was the first day of school.

I was in a casual restaurant like the kind you'd find in a hospital. I was eating some butterscotch pudding with my dad, and I suddenly felt a lump in my mouth. Without hesitation I spat it out onto the table, and then went to the restroom. I spit out at least five different bees. They were tiny, around half the size of a thumbtack, and they fell into the sink, unmoving and presumably dead.

I was at my house, and D showed up and asked me if I wanted to go to my old elementary school and play pac-man. I started asking him details about if they had the arcade machine or an Atari. He tells me it's a brown Atari, and we get to make our own ice cream. I'm pretty excited about this, and he tells me we need baking soda and powdered sugar. (yeah....it gets weirder) I search though the cabinet and find the baking soda. The box is open, so I decide to check through it and see if it's still okay because we had a really old box. Fortunately it's a new box, but theres a rock inside of it. I grabbed it and I was going to rinse it with water because I wasn't sure if it was baking powder clumped together or otherwise.

Just before I turn on the sink water, water starts squirting out from the rock in small bursts like a squirt gun. I get D's attention and tell him about it, and then the rock finally cracks open on it's own. Several tiny lobsters crawl out on my fingers, and eventually without and provocation, start attacking my hand. I killed a few, and turned on the sink and rinsed the rest down the drain.

D (other friend) arrived with a small yacht, and we all boarded. All of the streets were made of water, and even the highways were made of water. It was as if all the roads had been transformed into rivers of all sizes, but everything else remained the same. All of the areas looked so familiar, like I've been there before.

On the yacht, I was telling D about the lobster incident with the baking soda, and I noticed there were ants crawling around. I was sitting on the opposite side of them so I didn't have much to worry about. I stood up and was asking when are we going to fish, and is this water even fish-able. It looked like it could have been, but I wasn't sure. I went to sit down in my original seat but someone had taken it, so I sat on the side with the ants. Of course, they tagged me a few times, and I moved out of the path they had. I turned around and tried to see where they were coming from, and saw some baby opossums curled up, and told D, "man you have to clean this boat up".

We continued down this highway, and I had a moment of Deja vu. I was talking about how I loved the scenery and I wouldn't mind going to this area more often, and then we came up to a junk yard area, and it had a check point. Thats when I realized everything wasn't so beautiful...but I had the feeling like I did that before. We continued on into the city, and I was still wondering if I could fish. I saw some guy fishing a few boats down, but he was hung up on a buoy. (Apparently they were used as traffic signals in this city) We continued on and reached a dead end.

I went inside this building and there was a movie playing. It was towards the final scene, where they reveal who was the real killer, and apparently some lady who was murdered by the killer was actually the killer. They showed the murder scene twice. The first scene involved two people (I'm assuming thats what played out at the beginning of the movie), and the scene that revealed how she did it involved one person. I think she had two types of blood on the scene, and a mask.

Some lady showed up with her kids and we all started having small talk. Her husband was over seas, and thats all I really could remember before I woke up.

The dream occurred after I woke up early in the morning. I didn't attempt to wild because I just wanted to go back to sleep

The setting was a very familiar place: the Riverwalk of my hometown. This dream was particularly vivid, because I remember seeing the brown, brick-like floor of Riverwalk along with the cast-iron tables with cigar ashtrays that lined the side farthest from the river. Here is a picture of what Riverwalk looks like:


This picture pretty accuarately depicts the color scheme and weather. I don't remember a single cloud in the sky.
If you were to walk past the flagpole almost all the way down to the end, you'd be where I was

I was with a friend outside of The Cigar Box, a cigar humidor we don't usually go to unless our other favorite one is closed for the night. I was facing towards the shot above, with a pefect view of the flagpole (I was surprised with myself how accurately my mind had created the place upon waking up). My friend was facing the opposite direction. We had a conversation about our favorite cigar lounge called The Tobacco Pouch. The weird thing is, The Tobacco Pouch and The Cigar Box are almost bitter rivals to each other. Our conversation played out as the following:


Me: "Man, I'm going to miss the Tobacco pouch. There're no cigar lounges in [my current living place]."
friend: "That sucks. I'm glad I'm staying in town."
Me: "Yeah, fuck you..haha."
friend: "My only complaint is the hours.
me: "Yeah...Dude, imagine if they were open 24/7?
friend: "We'd be there way too much...we'd probably die of mouth cancer at 50 haha."
me: "Nah I'd still take it in moderation. One cigar every week or two isn't bad." But dude, you know you me and [other friend] wouldh have to get hammered and then spend an entire night at the Pouch. Think of how awesome that would be, smoking stogies until 8 in the morning?
friend: "That would be pretty sick. Just to do it once."

The dream ended.

This conversation is odd, because it does not reflect what I would do in real life under those circumstances. I might stay out late, but I wouldn't stay there, and I certainly wouldn't get smashed...maybe drunk, but not completely smashed

I was riding in a small car with my very large friend, who decided to visit a gangster friend's parents. They don't open the door for people they don't know, I warned him. He thought he'd try anyways. Well, someone opened the door.

Inside the house was a newscaster. I'd never been in this house before (dreamsign?). The newscaster was a white man (the gangster family was samoan). The newscaster started throwing sex parties, and the people who came ended up working for him. One of the last people to ask him "for a job" was another newscaster from NBC. He accepted, of course, but before she actually engaged in any party activities she left, second thoughts apparently.

The only sex I remember was when this really cute black girl was in the bathtub with Mr. Newscaster. She was very impressed with his smooth rear entry and quite verbal about it. (Skipping details for the sake of the other members here.) The newscaster left, and the girl stood up in the bathtub to reveal that she had a penis! She began to pee down the drain. I asked her if she wanted to "play" and she rejected me. I was not happy about this.

Skipflash - we were on our way to the supermarket, me, the trans-girl, the newscaster, my girlfriend and my girlfriend's son. It was a PG rated ride. Went inside and the dream came to a soft stop in reality.

i was standing with my girlfriend. I kissed her and she pulled away after a lil bit.. a car came and picked her up i kissed her once more she left. My dad came and picked me up and told me he was going to have a proffesional search my room for drugs or some shit. Next i went to lay in my bed and my ex girlfriend was offering me oral sex for five dollars i told her yea watever nd she began. two lesbians were next to me while i was recieving head, and i later messed arouend with them. after my ex wanted her money for sex which we ended up having and i told her there was a check in my drawyer she could have. My dad came in the room as she opened the drawyer and told my ex it was his money now cuz he earned it. She started to fight my dad over the five dollar check for oral sex and i woke up not remembring my dream til later

(This dream was two, actually. I woke up once, and then fell back asleep again and dreamt a less vivid dream. Kind of irritating - I was off to a good start. Digimon was centered around Season 4.)

I was in the Digital World with a couple other kids, but we'd gotten seperated from another girl. Me, being concerned about her, said we should try to locate her. The other Digidestined asked me how - the Digi World was so big, it could take weeks to search all over. This stumped me, but then I thought, "well, we're all connected, aren't we? We should be able to trace that connection back to her."

So I asked them to join hands with me, close their eyes, and focus on her. It seemed to take a very, very long time. We had to concentrate very hard - but eventually a picture of her rose up in my mind - but then an evil Digimon attacked us, quickly knocking us apart.

Angry, we all Digivolved into our respective forms, and were working on a strategy -

But then I woke up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All I can remember from this one was there was a military unit, and a man was in it. They were supposed to infiltrate this building by a cliffside, but when they entered, one of them soon found himself boxed in. Afraid of being shot, he darted around, unable to quite see his environment too well. Finally he turned back to the cliff and jumped over it, where he was going to hit the water before he saw his unit on another cliffside.

He teleported over there safely. To me, this "teleportation" looked like the world slowed down around him, and he was covered in a gold-like aura because he moved incredibly fast. It took two of these 'flashes' to get up on the cliffside.

I woke up right after that.

(I'm curious about the other dream, wondering if it was possibly a shared dream?)

09/08/2010

That's not how reincarnation works... (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream is pretty fragmented, but from what I do remember, it takes place right before heading back to college, and I'm contemplating whether to "reincarnate" (those of you who play the Disgaea series, think reincarnation or transmigration from that). Basically, I would become a newborn again, but have all the knowledge I currently have now. I don't know HOW that would work, or how a newborn would ever survive college anyways. The other part of the dream that I remember is when I actually get to college. I'm good old me, so I guess I decided not to "reincarnate". The interesting thing is, apparently my school is now on one of JUPITER'S MOONS (I wanna say Triton). Of course, this doesn't seem out of the ordinary for me. I remember having landed on Triton and being next to some sort of volcano. I pull up a sort of map on the "HUD" (apparently I'm in a video game now) and realize that I'm on the far west side of the map, and the campus is on the far eastern side. Since the map wraps around, though, I should be right next to it if I just turn around. That is all I remember of this crazy dream.

I'd flood the world, for a good plank (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I've not been able to sleep well lately, being woken up with dreams in my head and all, so I guess it's time to start recording dreams again! From what I can remember, I'm back home with my family, in a house that isn't our RL house. The outdoors looks kinda like the house we had before we moved a couple years back, but the deck is in the back yard instead of the front yard, and attached to the second floor of the house (our house was only one floor high). Anyways, from what little I do rememebr, my little brother Jared wanted to do something with the wood the deck was made of. Instead of taking it normally, or of course, getting some other wood, he was repeatedly flooding our yard up to the level of the deck (this would have submerged the entire first floor of the house, but my dream ignores this). Each cycle the wood deck would get more and more warped and rotten, and it would be easier to remove the wood he wanted. Then the water would drain and he would do it again. I'm not sure why he needed the wood, but I remember thinking how ridiculous that way of getting it was. What a waste! At some point the dream cuts to nighttime. A family -- mother and daughter, if my memory isn't failing me -- comes to the door to ask if we had found their kitten that had gone missing that day. We had in fact found a lonely kitten that morning and had been taking care of it. However, I was only wearing a t-shirt, so I left them at the door and ran off trying to find something to wear! It ended up waking up my mom and Jared, and my mom took care of it before yelling at Jared for what he was doing earlier, flooding the deck. That's all I remember.
