17.02.2011NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID I was in a bar and heard someone talking about how bad computers were and said that he hated technology. When I exited the bar I said that technology was important or something. I was in my university and the electromagnetism teacher begun to give us the test results, but unlike in a previous dream fragment this time he seemed happier when he finally got to me (up until that point only J had passed). He told me that I had some things out of order, especially an exercise that was about remembering a song, but that I had answered mostly everything right. He played the song (I think it might have been a real one) and he skipped forward to a part that went "la la la". He was rewinding it but I still heard it with quite a bit of quality, only faster. He skipped this part because he thought that it didn't contain any important message. The song was also kind of visual because some words had colour. We then argued about the colour yellow being bad for memory consolidation (¿?) After that he showed us a video about something (don't remember) and when we discussed the video he said that the use of yellow represented "memory ______". I pointed out that it then turned green and he laughed and told us that if the makers of the video hadn't studied _______ they probably wouldn't have studied _______. Then we joked that the video might be useful for telling our parents what electromagnetism is about.
My friend zero's house had blown down and I was going to check it out so I was walking over there when I met up with S I got distracted and went to R's house and we found his dad in the garage and he showed us a project he was working on. K and R showed up in the garage and we hung out and talked for a little bit eventually I had to go so I went outside and a bus was there. I got on the bus and D was there and ask why I took so long. We got off and i sad on a little scooter and D tied a rope to it and pulled me home.
Dream Lucid Partially lucid February 17, '11: I was at a party at my mom's old ballet school. I didn't like it. A bunch of young guys started dancing in a big circle. My friend's mother was in the hall. She asked me how my job search was going. I said I found one. She asked if it was full time. I said no. She asked if I liked it. I said "it puts money in my pocket." I went outside to the parking lot. It is nighttime and I have no ride. I see my sister with her friends. I ask her for a ride. I have really messy chewing gum (purple?) that I keep getting stuck to me and I can't get it off or spit it out. I just stretches and turns into a sticky stringy mess. My sister leaves and I'm stuck again with no ride. I see a young girl in the window who is looking at me. I jump and start flying. I say "oh yeah, I can fly." Then I knew I was dreaming. I think of how flying is a good dream sign. I pinch my nose and rub my hands together to stabilize. I say to myself that I could just fly home. Then I say that since this is a dream I don't have to go home at all. I fly down the road and remembered to call Sheila. I pulled my cell phone from my pocket. I said into it "Hello, Sheila?" And I ask her to meet me at the tree that I was flying to. I waited and looked around for her. I saw a black and white TV in the tree, with a woman on it. I go to it and say "is that Sheila?" A couple of times I feel a strong sexual urge, but I try to ignore it. There was another TV in the tree. This one had a scary looking dog on it. Then it showed a monkey, or maybe a goat with part of its face ripped off, I think by the dog. Then I am on the ground, among a large group of people sitting around. They all have burned or ripped off faces. It is rather disturbing. I attempt to spin and go somewhere else, and it wakes me up. As I wake up I think, being awake is somewhere else. Note: Perhaps using some emotion to find Sheila would work better.
Fragments of Death. #1 I was talking to a man called Peter. He had three minutes to live; after those three minutes he would have a heart attack. So we talked; and he picked up pieces of party mix from a bag with chopsticks. He ate two pieces, carefully, appreciatively; a square caramel piece, and one of those green musk sticks (although when you bit into this one it would flush out air into your mouth). Then he went over to the road and very visibly insulted and swore at a truck driver, who came out and bashed him to death. I couldn't look; and I'm not sure if it was the heart attack or the bashing that killed him, for the truckee was ashen. I wrote a memorial speech in chalk on the footpath, beside his body. #2
2/16-17. 1130. At Universal Studios. There’s a light rain and we’re deciding on getting on the backlot tour tram LotR. I’m with Frodo and Sam. Sam, Pippin, and I have to leave so start to go. Head down a hallway, bt then go back to room with Frodo in it. Merry’s there. I tell Merry to take care of Frodo. I give some sort of speech telling Merry how important Frodo is. “Like a mare, or garden” is all I can remember. Leave and go out and I’m at a school. There’s a horse there and I jump on it, but then it’s a girl, wearing a blue shirt. Ride her across a lawn area. I see Dave and so stop and get off. Praise girl with, “Good girl” and she gets mad. Then mad at Dave because she gave him many chances to ask her out, but now is with Richard. Girl is Carrie(?) but looks nothing like her 725. Doing a ride along with Station 1. Xxxx is captain. We’re getting the rig ready for the shift to start. Xxxxp seems to be mad at me for some reason and tell me to pull a hose, “Yes, sir!” I pull a preconnect and flow some water to make sure it’s working. Have to restabilize myself because of the pressure. Xxxx puts on and takes off a silver HazMat suit. After taking it off, I check it out and it seems like it neoprene, like a wetsuit. Rig is now a black truck. Engineer is playing some music loud and the chief(?) comes out and has him turn it down. Xxxx tells him to turn it down more. Then we head over to a large garage that’s for storage. Rig now looks like Jim’s blue and white Ford. Then head out, but I’m not on rig 835. Mira Loma? Driving and go under a freeway. I was supposed to get on(?) and miss it, so go to the next street and pull down it to turn around. See some cops pass by on the other side after I get turned around. Matt Xxxxxxx is a bad guy, but the cop is Matt as well. Cop shoots bad guy and hits him. Bad guy then runs away toward the freeway and up the embankment. I hop a fence to go after bad guy, and find where bad guys hide out. Freeway is no longer there, but the hide out looks kind of like a bus stop/ train stop
First Dream journal post. Not sure how often Im going to post here, but I think it might motivate me to record more dreams. Just finished the MILD class which was great btw, and highly recommended. Hopefully ill be posting some lucids soon! 16-17/02/11 Dreams/Lucids Round #1 I decide I want to go downstairs from my room and sleep on the couch because my watch that I use for reality checks just burnt through and I saw pictures from a commercial on my bed and it all creeped me out. I go downstairs and my mom and dad are sitting on some school like chairs on the hardwood floor. My dad asks if I mind it if he sleeps on the couch instead, because he just had a really scary dream. He dreamt that in his closet, he found the easter bunny's ears, and he was talking about the voice that followed him. "Don't tell me about the voice!" I say. Whoever I'm talking to is walking backwards away from me into the hall as I am speaking to them. My mom sais that dad had a dream that my grandmother tried to kill everybody. My eyes are watering as they say this, because I had a dream where I saw easter bunny's ears in the closet (although didnt actually). Its odd that they are up I think, and my grandparents are both there now too. I'm talking with my uncle Jerry on the phone in my computer room. Its very dark and scary and Id like to get out of the room, but I stay on the phone to be polite. He's asking me about thanksgiving and if my dad would be interested in going to someone elses house, because of the tough times and because the rich should help the poor. I try and get off the phone, and see Ryan outside trying to ring my doorbell, but my dogs run up from somewhere and chase him off. Now im in the car with my parents, my dog is squished between some glass and her eyeballs are bulging. "Yep, she definetely has the muscle." I remember being in my room and looking at some books with the covers strange. Wake up. Round #2 --I'm with this other man and we are either driving something to a driveway or watching a trailor pull in. We talk to the owner who is old man, and give him his metal garbage wastebucket which he just throws into a huge pile of garbage. Were trying to get an interview with him, but oh shit he's in the mafia. Cars drive by and give us a warning, then come around and start shooting. Im on a driveway behiind a snowbank a ways down the road and crawl very fast up the driveway. Look for a place to hide, decide to hide in the snow. Get into a hole and its wayyyy to deep. Im verticle in the snow, but I dont think Ill ever get out, im way too far down. I climb up abit and realize that I can get out. I put my hood down so I can put some snow on my head incase they look down the hole. Jimmy looks down and I get out cuz he's a narc/rat. He physically looks like a rat, and i try to convince him not to rat on me. I jump some fences into some backyards, then get to one I can't get over so I go back. There is razor wire tho and I get all cut up. There is a prescription bottle I pick up, and go into a house where there is kids and other people in the living room. I throw the bottle at this one man, because he is part of a group of people that is against prescriptions. Im happy that progress is being made tho. --I'm at a party with people from my program at uni. Walking down the street talking to someone, but I fall back so a girl that likes him can be alone with him. Theres a train or long bus that is a transformer? It screws up and backs into a small plaza and looks realy small suddenly like a toy. Im at another house with old friends. I go into the attic following this girl from my program who is wearing really tight pants, and is really hot. Im in the attic with 2 girls, its cramped and lots of flirting. I look to the window, its way too small to crawl out of incase of an attack and need to escape. Theres another door that opens up and another cute girl is there. The room she stays in is huge with a huge window u could jump out of. Im in a room at the party with a pool table and not alot of people. A professor comes in and jokes that he should lock us in the room. Says we need to be quiet, someone is sleeping at the party. There's all kinds of girls around me now, and connor is in the next room talking to some of them, saying "If you get him drunk now, you can do whatever u want with him." I see them using hand signals to eachother, and they sit around me and on me. Its strategic. My elbow was accidently blocking this other girls view to my right that I didn't see. I apologize and introduce myself. Shes cute, wearing some black sunglasses and looks kindof like Tina Fey? She's in her 2nd year in my program. She says "Its a good thing you and ur friends did well academically this year, if not you would have a punishment/rough initiation with water and sharks." I kindof attack another 2nd year for even thinking of doing that. My hood is up during all of this which is unlike me, and the prof came over behind us to listen in on the conversation. I grab a bagel bit, and try and put some peanut butter on it but its too runny and wet. Wake up.
17.02.2011Perilous Mountain Grotto (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID The dream started out in a car with Megan, LaRee, Ben, and Megan's mom was driving. We were on our way to somewhere amazing where Megan said that was really beautiful. I was aware of the place also, and i love it. We were telling Ben about it on our way there. At first we started out in the neighborhood in which Megan lives. Then eventually we made it to the wilderness and this is the scary part. Next to us down on the lower road, was a group of friends on a very small car, holding on for their lives. This is important because the cliff we were driving on was enormously high and incredibly thin. It was an overall scary experience. We got to the point where we had to get out of the car and walk the rest of the way. I was walking along side two boys, and they were being generally dangerous as the proceeded. So i told them to stop and then i went in front of them knowing that i could be faster. So i continued on and then finally made it to the grotto. As i walked down further toward the bottom, i pased over a small creek that was flowing calmly over the hill. Below was a beautiful, green, and lucious landscape of water flowing and plants growing. More and more people came down fro mthe top to lay their eyes on the magical grotto. One of the poeple who came down was Jessica Kostelnik. She was looking breathtakingly beautiful and i was actually embarressed to be around her, i was flustered, so when i saw her i went farther back into the wilderness and looked at her from afar. That's all i can remember from that, but it was a very memorable dream.
17.02.2011English, Brett, and Wontons (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID Log: 10:00 Thursday, February 16-17th, 2011 6:00am Hours: 7:00m Alarm: 5:00 Audio: None This dream was very short and very odd... I was in English class and as i looked around, Mrs. Hilbert was looking very odd, odd enough for me to notice and question it, although not becoming lucid. She started putting on layer after layer of clothing. As the clothing progressed, my english teacher slowly turned into Brett Conrad... After he put on a refridgerator sized back pack he promptly left. As i turned around i opened up to a scene where a few people were sleeping on a futon-like bed. The person directlyadjacent to me was Alan Kong. I was dissappointed because he and his mom (who was sleeping on the other side of him) were supposed to make a certain Asian dish, but now, unfortunately becasue Brett left that was no longer possible. I was secretly dissappointed but i didn't tell him. He said that they would have to do it another time, and then we both went back to sleep. And that is when i woke up in wakig life.
17.02.2011Walking on Water. (Non-lucid) NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID This is one of the most funnest dreams I had but also one the blurriest. I had to go to summer camp. When we got their we did a bunch of activities I can't remember. But to go back we had to cross the ocean. Not by boat but by walking on water! It's funny I never thought of this as weird. But when we crossed the ocean I woke up. Pretty fun dream.
Not much dream content to report tonight. I recall a fragment of a dream where I was shown around a flat with a group of people and there was a lot of damp on the ceiling. That's it. Hopefully made a bit of progress towards WILDing as I felt the wild vibrations on at least one occasion. Afternoon napped for 2 hours and got absolutely nothing from it.
I will adopt the color coding convention from here on out, to make my lucid parts more distinguishable from the non-lucid parts. Blue is lucid, Red is non-lucid I am with my mother, walking our dogs. One of them wanders into the neighbor's yard, and we go to get him. My mother starts out first, and I follow along behind. Partly across our field, something strikes me as odd, and I begin to question reality. It becomes clear to me that I am dreaming. At first I am not sure, but the more I question the more obvious it becomes. With that discovery, things begin to fade, and to seem less like a dream and more like a daydream. To hold on, I kneel down and feel the snow. I reach the neighbor's yard, and wonder what I should do I think about Hyu's dreams with Yuya, and how I would like to have that kind of experience. I decide to try again to summon my dream guide. However, the dream begins to fade again, and I enter the Void. I am still lucid, but everything is blackness. I remember what someone told me about trying the "linear acceleration" technique to get out, and try that. It doesn't seem to work. I try spinning, for no good reason. What I am attempting is to become aware of my dream body again, I guess. Then "someone" suggests that I blow my nose. Maybe it was my dream guide, I don't know. I seem to feel myself reaching up and blowing my nose with a tissue. But I think it is my physical body that does this, and I must be awake. I don't open my eyes, but try to lie still and do a WILD. I don't think I really blew my nose and woke up. I didn't have a tissue, and I can't do that kind of thing while asleep anyway. So it must have been a false awakening. Upon reflection, what I ought to have done was open my eyes, do and RC, and continue the dream from there. Oh well, you live and learn.

Im watching my brother doing something on the computer, hes in the frontyard and im watching him from inside the house. K is going around our house and theres ppl from school living at our house.
I am in a school gym and there is a twix chocolate contest. Whoevers bar has the most chocalate wins a chain reaction toy. It looked interesting so I immediatly handed my chocolate bar in after inspecting it. The man took it and said "I wouldn't be surprised if you win". I smiled and walked away. I then inspected the three toys and when I turned around I realized I didn't win
The dream began with my grandpa and me going to the bookstore. I have never done anything like this before so this should definitely have been a signal. As soon as we go in, we turn into the history section. He says something like we came here for fun, so I really don't need to buy anything. One book I remember seeing was a text about Genghis Khan. He picked up a book that had the word 'journey' on it, including several triangles on the cover. The dream then morphed to a house my mind created. I was there with this girl, her dad, and her boyfriend. Both the dad and boyfriend left. This girl was a total manifestation of my mind and I was definitely fond for her. She started asking me what I was doing that night, when I said that I wanted to be with her. Even though, truly I had never met this girl, she almost felt like my soulmate. She then asked my 'why' with a cute smile. I said that I really liked her. She was so happy and sat on the couch. But I didn't let her rest; it felt like the perfect moment, so I went in for a soft kiss, followed by a few extracurriculars. This felt so real, that every time I look back on it, it makes me smile. The dream progressed and several people showed up including her dad, boyfriend, and a few of my friends. I met her in a large hallway of her house, and we kissed again. No lie, this girl felt like the one. The dream then switched to a snowy field. It was a battle scene, and for some reason I was fighting the French. My gun never worked, and I missed every time I shot it. It felt like I was living Call of Duty. Eventually I entered a safe house occupied by a family. Don't really remember much after this, except that I was welcome.
Dream - Lucid - AP I was looking into some room, it looked like a dressing room. In the corner of my vision, I saw a little picture of 2 cartoonified bears, one in a red box and one in a green, each with gauges in the boxes, again, one red and one green. The red one kept filling up and the bear kept getting angry, while the green one stayed calm. Then they switched places. Then, I was looking in the mirror of the dressing room, shaving my face...I thought I was shaving my upper lip, but I looked again, and I was shaving my cheek (weird). I could see the detail of the stubble. Then, I dragged the razor over my upper lip and a clump of hairs came out. Then, I was in my room, sitting on my bed. Two young women walked into the room. They were about my age, maybe a little older. Something clicked in my head, and I realized I was dreaming. Everything became vivid for a second, then started to darken again. I said to the women: "Hey! This is a dream! I'm dreaming!" They looked at me with these confused smiles on their faces. I stared to fly up through the ceiling, and everything went black. Then, I was back on my bed and the girls were still in the room. I told them I'd prove to them it was a dream, and took each one by the hand and tried to fly with them. I hovered, but they stayed put because I could not lift them. I let go of their hands and went up through the ceiling again. This time, the ceiling turned transparent, and there was a duplicate of my room above me. Then, it turned into a blue space, with water upside down on the ceiling. I splashed into the water, exited, and then repeated that a few times. ~ I was at some geisha training thing with Kacey, who was apparently very skilled at the art. Though it wasn't typical geisha training...it was a mixture of ballet and gymnastics. I'm pretty sure we were outside. I was with a big group of girls, and there were two courses to take: the easy one, which I don't remember what the training for that was, and the hard one, which was a gymnastics beam, and we had to learn how to walk over it in different ways. We tried out, and I was picked for the beam training, the one that Kacey had taken. There was a very strict man teaching the course. He showed us what he wanted us to do on the beam, and it was some weird jump thing...I can't explain it. I told Kacey I couldn't do that because my legs were too short, so she told me to roll across the beam instead. For some reason, during the 2nd lesson, I sat out with another girl who was on the other training course. I watched both training courses from the picnic table I was sitting at. My feet were aching from the training. I felt like I was going to be very behind when I went back to the training since I was sitting out on the lesson. ~ I was looking at a black woman's Facebook page. She looked like a woman who frequents the coffee shop I work at. Her picture was of her standing up with a huge smile on her face. I read the posts on her wall, and they were all very inspirational. Apparently, she was very well-liked. After every wall post, the woman wrote back "Thank you!". I remember one wall post saying something like "Her house is at the end of the street!", but she meant it in a symbolic way, it's hard to explain. It's like her house was the be all end all, it was the end of sadness, something along those lines. ~ I think we were in a hotel. I remember seeing all these Barney the Dinosaur stickers, all stuck together, that said "Don't do drugs!". I pulled the stickers apart as I watched a TV program, but I don't remember what I did with them. Then, I had apparently stolen 3 car motors, and was driving away from the mall with them. I felt guilty about stealing them. I can't even remember why I needed them. I also remember asking my brother about my 2 closets that I apparently had in the dream. Something about clean clothes being in one, and one of them was locked. I remember answering my own question. Then, I saw a picture of my brother, taken by my dad. My brother was sitting on his knees on the dry, dirt ground, and he was looking up at the camera, neither smiling nor frowning. He looked like he was longing for something. You could see my dad's feet in the picture. I really need to do something in my LDs other than fly through the ceiling. I always think of all these awesome things to do in them when I'm awake, but I rarely remember to do them in the dream. Grr.
