No entry for yesterday since I'd rather it not be public, but for documentation's sake I did dream about Dave Strider again like I'd intended! Bro, too! I also became lucid briefly to change the scene twice so I was pleased about that :) Tags/categories for that dream are: lucid, memorable, nightmare, fandom: Homestuck. Now for last night's:

1.
Jake trying to get our mom to buy him a subscription to something on the computer, a game? She won't because she's too busy with job stuff at the moment, and Jake harasses her, asking exactly what she's been doing this whole time since she has yet to gain a single client.

After/at the time this is happening (idk) I'm looking at a Dragon Age mod for a new character race called 'Fajjyn'?? The character is a slightly creepy-looking female with deep eyes, grey skin and bright red hair. Then I hear a short police siren and when I look outside I see the light from a flashlight shining on houses, but the light is pink.

2.
I'm on the floor drawing with Brandie, using paper and pencils. Somehow she is really fast and near-perfect, and I get frustrated because whatever I draw isn't that good. She tries showing me her technique by drawing a rock, and I copy it but the rock looks too flat. We practice more til I create some decent-looking rocks, but unlike her small, smooth stones, mine are large, black and jagged things that pile up in sheets, literally! As I keep drawing, the rocks become real.


notes: During 1, I was feeling upset with Jake for acting that way but I wonder if it's my subconscious worrying that my mom will back out on everything after she's put in so much effort. The drawing dream definitely came from my worrying about being good enough when it comes to my art. But it was cool to draw something into existence, I'd like to try that again sometime!

Also, I had intended to dream about Dave again, but if it happened, I don't recall it.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Also a couple of dreams recalled from normal sleep.

Sleep:

Dream 2(fragments):

I was at some outdoor place with acidic pools.

Dream 3(fragment):

Some kind of place with grids.

WBTB/naps:

Dream 1(fragments):

I was at home and there was something about teleportation to roof, then to bed.

Dream 2:

I was playing Warzone 2100 with SilentEternity, we selected some new map, which was pretty simple, each of us started in corners and there were some AI opponents, my base was in top-right corner. I had 4 oil derricks and few buildings that were unfamiliar to me not looking like something from wz2100, i was trying to figure stuff out for a while and research things and also building a few flamethrower units that looked very detailed. Research was surprisingly quick but there was alot more research topics(Like if WZ2100 needs more research topics that it already has IWL...), In a bit i looked at SilentEternity's side and he had huge bases and lots of stuff, some of his buildings were rendered super simple, like 2D images made from lines, though. I was surprised and asked how he got them so fast and he said "Practice", after that i did some more research including some rank upgrades for parts that allowed units to start on increased exp rank.

I don't remember the whole story behind this so this is another dream fragment of a different dream than the Sponge bob and the bar.

I am at the top of the stairs with (I think) Laura and we are waiting for Autumn to get to the top. She becomes dare devilish and does the leap between the gap in the middle. I think it was easy and I could of done it but Autumn fell and it looked like she was getting sucked by a vacuum. We could hear all the times she fell, the crunching, the screaming.

Spongebob (me) and Patrick decided to sneak into the restroom before they locked there doors. We get in and sure enough they lock us in. We have to wait for hours for it to open.

The dream goes third person and me and Patrick pee and then it absorbs back so we keep growing and going back faster and faster each time.

Me and my buddy George go to a bar together to meet up with some friends. We get into the bar and our friends are sitting in the booth, there are 5 of them. George sits down with them but now there is no room for me at the booth. I sit down in the one ahead of me and think alone with my thoughts.

The waitress brings the menus and asks what I want to order. I think for awhile to make sure what I want but she grows impatient. I decide chicken and she grabs the menu out of my hand and walks away.

I notice that at the bar there is a box of precessed chicken wings (the ones we have in the freezer). I ask the chef "Hey my chicken wings better not be those!" He gets upset and starts rambling on on how he fries his food and doesn't use eggs, he even starts singing about it.

NORMAL | DREAMING POTENTIAL FOR REALITY CHECK

I've been going to bed pretty late at around 1:30-2:30am recently in the holidays, and awaking at about 11:30am. Last night, I attempted to get my sleep routine back to normal as lay ins make me too lazy during the day! I went to bed at 11:30, only to find that I could not sleep at all! Eventually fell asleep at about 1:15am (earlier than usual so whatever ) and awoke at 11am, to the following dream.

I was in my local church, where I used to take part in drama groups. However, the hall I was sat in was actually the hall I used to sit in for assembly at secondary school. I was sat with a group of friends in rows of about 10 on standard plastic school chairs. The lighting was dark, however the stage lights brightened it up to the extent where I couldn't really guess what time of day it was. There were mainly kids on stage. Someone I know, Ryan. E appeared on stage. Most people burst into applause as he was our friend, however Kelly. H, his current girlfriend, strangely started booing him as if they had broken up. She was sat next to Tom. R, her real life ex, as if they were going out again. I think I'd had a few alcoholic beverages, and I had a half pint of beer in my hand, and I started booing Ryan along with Kelly, trying to get other people to join in as if it was really funny. The regulars in the church who I used to do the drama class with started getting upset and annoyed with me. I can't remember what they were saying, but they were all suggesting that I had drank too much, especially considering everyone else was completely sober. My friend Lottie, who is a regular, was getting frustrated with me and seemed embarrassed. I didn't feel like I'd done much wrong, but felt myself blushing. I apologized to everyone for "being a dickhead", explaining that I didn't realize what I was doing was offensive in anyway, but was ever so sorry if I caused offense. Jamie, Lottie's brother, stopped the performance, and started it from the start again, as "Calum was acting like a total tit" . I became angry, frustrated and humiliated by their arrogance, and kept imagining how amazing it would be to just leave the building at the end without saying goodbye to anyone, but remaining absolutely silent for the rest of the performance to spite them. I started to feel better and calm down, and began reading the church menu, which i'm pretty sure doesn't exist. It sold alcohol, cigarettes, and other taxed goods. The cigarettes were tax-free, and it only cost £2 for a pack of twenty! I wanted to tell Tom, who despite being in front of me earlier was now sat to the right of me.

I'm on the street crowded with people. Something is different so I decide to do rc with my watch. It shows 0:20, 0:40, 0:60. I think this is just a timer. I jump and the gravity is wierd. I'm dreaming. I fly to the air over a meadow with flowers. I land in here and doing my stabilization technique. I also eating flowers for better stabilization. It doesn't taste very well, reallly ). I remember totm so I decide to take my phone from my belly pocket. It's there. I call my mum. The conversation is going like usually but I dont speak at all. I try telepation over the selfphone. I ask mother about something just in my mind and she is answering like usually. The dream quickly fades. A card appears in the darkness. I don't remember since then, probably I wake up or lost lucidity.

9/6/2013, 10:10-6:25

Regular Dream Lucid Dream Awake

I went to sleep after meditating, repeating the mantras, "I remember that I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming," and, "I remember my dreams when I wake up." During meditation, I repeated those mantras, too. I took a drink of water, went to the bathroom, and went to bed with the air conditioner on.

Dream 1:

I remember a Sith base, and people running around it. I was watching from the ceiling, but it was really a camera dream, without me being in an actual body. I watched as the base was apparently under attack.

I woke at 3:21 (with a reality check of course). My dog seemed to need to go outside, so I went out with him. It was cold out there. As he took a piss, I looked up at the stars, and tried to sort out any constellations I could find. None. I then got back inside, drank some more water, took another piss, and went back to bed at 3:26. I couldn't really sleep because I was thinking of too much about my dream from last night AND my dog was barking a lot. I eventually got frustrated and put him in my neighboring room, where my grandma was sleeping. I eventually got back to sleep.

Dream 2:

I remember playing Empire: Total War. That is all.

Dream 3:

This one was a false awakening. I went out of my room and started reading a book on the living room couch. Then I started noticing that the house was vibrating! I went downstairs into the basement and noticed that the house wasn't completely on the ground. It was lifted up slightly by a piece of wood. "That must explained the vibrations," I thought to myself. I probably thought the boiler was making the house vibrate, combined with the house lifted up slightly. (In real life, it probably was the train passing.)

I eventually noticed the illogical sense behind this, and turned lucid. A sudden rush of energy and vibrations came over me. I heard a sound similar to a helicopter starting up as I turned lucid, too. I suddenly imagined the TARDIS (probably as a reality check). I suddenly saw the TARDIS levitating off the ground, and me, as a camera, rotating around it as I lifted off the ground. I then tried to do something else, but I "pressed the wrong button", and accidentally opened my real eyes. I woke up to the sound of my dog barking again.

Really? Again? I find myself at a club and there are masses of people, dancing and enjoying the evening. After a few conversations wich I can't remember the party quiets down.

I decide to leave and ask a friend for a ride home. Out of nothing I see my friend B. and he asks me if he can join our ride. We squeeze inside the car (It was small, unreal small) and we drive off. On the ride he starts doing lines of coke and we get thrown out of the car.

Fragment: He trashes a big skip of gravel - We get busted - We hang out in a coffee shop with the cops.

I think we were scientists investigating some sort of substance of which there was less than 0% in food. While investigating this sneakily in enemy territory in some place that could have been a pyramid maybe, we got captured by a bunch of ninjas. We were stripped naked and taken somewhere to their camp behind a mountain, where we would be held as their slaves. There were other slaves there already. We were chained up.

I AM DREAMING
So i was on the plane heading from Sydney to Singapore and i was with a old mate mark from the basketball days
we were just playing ball in the playoffs. Something was chasing us and next minute someone shot a arrow through my mate i didn't
get too do anything as the air hostest was shaking me to wake me up an hour before the plane was meant to land stupid airline.

I AM DREAMING
I found myself in a maximum security prison in Pattaya with my mate Markus who is actually really in that prison doing life.
I was helping him escape and trying to get my but out of there also.
Shit got crazy we were shooting heaps and this prick was after me i can't believe i didn't waste him i will get my chance again or at least punch him in the
face.
I felt like i was in the movie the great escape.
My dream recall has dropped off as my Tea ran out so not so much details i can write down or remember.
I AM DREAMING

It's no good. Despite my firm intention to concentrate only on the dream journal and ADA at the moment I can't resist also experimenting...I'm just built that way. Last night I decided to put all my effort in an attempt at Laberge's "An Hour of Wakefulness Before Morning Naps Makes Lucidity More Likely"

i set the alarm for 6 AM. ( a lot later than I've ever done) I got up, concentrated for about 50 minutes only on LD related things. I already have my tailor-made "awareness" list and I started my own "memory-improvement" list. I'm retired so things like "traffic-lights" and "crossing a street" are not that relevant because I can go for days without going out. I took things from my DJ like "seeing some meat" "a wrapped present or card" "seeing family" "seeing my bed". That only made 16 items so I'll find at least 16 more, then rotate 3 items to react to per day.

I spent 10 minutes , running through my old dream signs...my reality checks and mantras, then settled down. By then it's daylight and the traffic noise is building so I mentally recited two mantras "Peace of mind" (had that one for years and it works) and my new one "slip"...telling myself to let my mind slip into that floating pre-sleep state, where thoughts come and go without me latching on to them. It worked and I felt myself going down down...and I was soon asleep (very pleased with that, I must try that more)

I was in the large service lift of a power-station (massive dream sign) I felt very tired (or was I faintly aware that I was asleep?) I set the lift for up, then realised I'd set it to the top boiler floor. I reset it down to the control-room floor.As I walked out I said "I'm so tired. I really need to be more alert...I need to wake up."

...and I woke up. GRRR! To be fair to Ed one of my pre-sleep conditioning phrases was " need to be alert" (meaning I need to be aware in my dreams) and I suppose that was the end result. I lay there fuming for a while then tried the "slip" routine...and it worked again and I grabbed another small dream.

I'm in an office (DS) and I'm looking for a kettle to make a coffee. (a fair bit of looking but no spotting of blatant dream signs)

I'm intrigued by Ed's "alert" response (his literal interpretation) Computers are great at chess moves but pretty crap at things like TV live-captioning. (subtleties of accent and strange words that humans would adjust for, computers show the most bizarre interpretations) Is the part of the brain that controls dreams like that? (when I say "I want to be alert in my dream" it just picks out "alert" as in "be awake"?) I must be careful how I phrase things in future. Keep it simple and to the point

Not a complete disaster... pretty vivid dreams...I think there was small progress...I will try again

I AM DREAMING
So i was playing baseball with the Italian Mafia hitting some home runs and i was cruising around in a nice black Land Rover.
After i was alone i found myself with Danny divito lol and he was trying to get me to snitch on em i told him to go get farrked and
woke up. Italian Mafia are a pack of girls but still funny to play baseball with em and smash everything out of the ballpark they threw at me.
