My dreams were all over the place last night,, not one specific plot it was very random

Dream 1

I was at a festival and I was seeing A$AP Ferg, it was early in the morning about 12ish. It was hard to remember anything lese

Dream 2

In this dream I had a really long dream and I dreamt for about what felt like 10 minutes writing the dream down in my dream journal to wake up and find I hadn't actually wrote anything down!

So I was at a waterpark with school, I went on this blue ride first, then one of my teachers said to me 'I know you can do this.' I'm not really sure what she meant. Our coach had a toilet. Then I was in a classroom and everyone was smoking weed. Then I as at home playing cod zombies, a cat started playing and got to level 21, then I fed the cat to the zombies as they turned real so I didn't get eaten. A guy comes to pick it up and the cat bites my finger bad, so I told the cat off for being illiterate.

They were literally my dream notes, random shit happening everywhere

I'm in my Grandma's back bedroom with my niece. We are sitting on the lower bunk of the bunk bed. I'm packing a bag for us. I'm not really in a hurry and I feel pretty calm. My older sister walks into the room and sits down next to me. I look up and notice her hair is lighter. I ask her about it and she tells me how she's been, little by little, making it a lighter and lighter blonde. I look at it more closely and notice that it's not just one shade. There's yellow blonde and white blonde. There are also streaks of shimmery silver as well. She looks very beautiful. Mom walks in and looks at us. She notices me admiring the hair and gets mad. She knows that it's being done only to get the attention of an ex-boyfriend. My sister looks sad and she looks at the floor as mom leaves the room. I smile at her and tell her that she looks beautiful and I love her hair. She looks back up at me and smiles. She says thank you and gets up to leave. My uncle then runs into the room and says that we can't leave. There's a storm that's gotten too big and dangerous, which will make it almost impossible to travel on the ship we are taking. It's not wise to travel when the ocean is so dangerous. I feel a little bummed, but I understand and I stop packing.

My dream this morning:

Started out on a roller coaster. I was strapped in, holding onto the shoulder harnesses, and I asked my friend beside me, "Are there any upside down sections?" (First off, I don't really like loopy roller coasters, and second, I was watching a show on TV about them yesterday.)

"No," my friend said.

I didn't believe her for some reason, and I got a sudden birds-eye view of the coaster, and the loop that was halfway thru it.

"Yes there is!" I said, slightly annoyed with her. But then I got caught up in the ride, lost my awareness.

I ended up in my school after that. Again, I had some sort of assignment to complete, and I was alone. I was having trouble with it, and a friendly teacher found me and took me to her office to give me some advice. I can't remember what she said but I remember being half awed and half confused by it. After I spoke with her I went to join the rest of my classmates in the gym, where everyone was gathered for some reason. I woke up soon afterwards.

I had a non-lucid dream attempt at the junk food task:

Talking with my friend at a grocery store, I ask her if she knows where they keep the really good cookies. She brings me to particular door in the freezer aisle, and top to bottom it has all kinds of cookies. I look for the one that has the most calories. Spotting a few that look particularly delectable, I check the back panel and see that each individual cookie has 800 calories. Not bad for a cookie that I can eat in 4 bites. Not sure which one I want, I pick out 3. Two to eat right now, and one for later. I grab the toffee-crunch, cinnamon-sugar, and chocolate chip, noticing how the toffee one has 840 calories. I want to pay for them before eating them, but the guy at the coffee stand ignores me, and all the cashiers are missing. Setting the cookies next to me on the counter, I open up one of the cash registers and try to ring people up fast so I can buy my cookies and eat them!

Fortunately these cookies do exist and I'm gonna eat one today when I go to work for practice. - They sell them where I work :-)

7:35AM

The first few parts of this are hazy but I was outside somewhere in a lawn with a few things such as my iPhone dock, my fenix PD32UE flashlight, my knife, and a few other things. It was at night again and the only light came from street light. I was in a neighborhood that was a bit urbanized so the houses had some lawn space but not much. I was in the front yard of a house near the street on the corner of the property with all of my stuff in the grass. I dont know why i was there but I called someone to get picked up. So i started to pick up a few things. A bunny ran by me and i looked around for it with my flashlight but could not find it. Before i got picked up i decided i wanted to run into town and come back, not sure why, maybe just to see if i could. So a truck pulled up alongside the property along the grass and i started to put things on the back seat. i rode on the truck that came to pick me up and it drove into a city where i was waiting a bit to jump out from the passenger door but it was taking a while because every red light it was going to, turned green before we got to it. Eventually it slowed in traffic and I jumped out and landed on the road next to the guard rail that was over water and jumped over to the other side before the cars came racing down the road. I saw an old 50's cop car out on the road in the sea of modern cars. Weird but i guess i did not question it. I started to walk back towards where I started. Trying to hold all of my things from falling too. I don't know why i decided to bring everything with me but i did. Some one on the road told me i should hold them differently or something but i cant remember. They used someone else who was apparently walking over the same spot i was as an example to how my stuff should be and it was some random person holding an iPad with a case and thought this is dumb and kept doing what i was doing.

I was later at my friend Jacobs house where i was helping his dad with a landscaping project. It was getting dark and over cast. His house was different than usual, the upstairs garage that usually was not used was open and had lots of tools and tables like table saws, and there was not much clutter. It looked like a brand new garage that had dry wall done but not painted yet. The house was in a L shape too. Looking straight at the front door from the street the long side of the house faces me and the street and on the right quarter of the house it went back into the back yard like an L. i went out back along the left of the house and there was mostly grass and decorative cut stone wall holding up dirt. Jacobs dad told me to level the dirt and cut some if the concrete foundation doing it and showed how he wanted it done. Went to grab a saw but i woke up.

I think i woke up because my back was getting sore in the position i was laying in

Unknown time below

I picked up one more fragment of a dream but its just it. I was looking for a clean shirt to wear out of my suitcase that was in the back of my dads truck, and i found another dodge shirt like the one i got all dirty from wood staining except this one was nice and clean.

Hello, and welcome to my new dream journal!

So I randomly woke up last night at 4:30 and thought, what a great time to try some lucid dreaming! So I tried the WILD technique and some focused thinking. It didn't work. I'm a newbie and got too excited. :p

So I rolled over and forgot about it. Next thing I new, I was asleep!

I dreamed about being able to lucid dream. :p My family was with me, and I was showing them all the crazy neat things I could do. I remember very vividly throwing a sharpened pencil with extreme accuracy into the head of another man. Then I dreamed I was taken to some sort of lucid dreaming institute building or a sleep-lab sort of thing. My mother and I went into a private room to talk, when I heard a noise behind a cupboard. It was a teenage girl, and I told her to get out of the room. Good grief, no sense of privacy! :p

Then I dreamed I had to ride a lawnmower backwards all the way to a big city, which is like nine hours away from us. As I was going along, I heard a thump and realized I had hit a snake. It was very strange, and had a head sort of like a sheep's. Another snake, which I understood to be it's partner, came after me as if in revenge. It reared itself up in the road and looked terrifying! I was in the middle of trying to decide whether I should run over it too and risk getting close to it or back up quickly and hightail it out of there, when I suddenly woke up.

Not the most satisfying dream ever, in my opinion

Just a single fragment, really, that's decayed some since I woke up, at that.

I had a set of abilities. One could be attained through an arm extension motion, palm down, and I think I could move and control things, and perhaps crush things. The other was attained by the same arm extension, but palm up, with my hand being slowly grasped into a fist, and it worked just like corpse explosion from the Diablo series of games, in that I could make corpses explode or (more commonly) turn into a pile of acidic bile on command.

This entry occurred yesterday morning at about 10AM. I'm moving it over here from the dream snippets thread.

7:23am MILD 2x

I realized I was dreaming and went for the door. I was excited to go to Japan. I thought as I held the doorknob and started opening the door, not just Japan, but my mother in law's house and tried to picture it. But when I opened the door, it was just the hallway to my apartment complex. I realized I needed to go through the hall to the next door that leads outside. But I woke up.

Before this FA, I had two other FAs. In the first one, non-lucid, I woke up in a mix of my apartment and my mom's house. I helped my mom out a bit with the daycare by supervising a kid playing a computer game while sleeping on the couch, but when I saw my mom, reminded her, today's my day off and I need to work on my translation internship, so I went back to my room to get some sleep.

In the computer game, it was a kids game and I remembered being able to choose a side character that gives you advice. So I kept wanting her to choose the butterfly. Also, she was able to switch the language settings to have the side character talk in Japanese.

At some point I had another non-lucid, either before or after the FA, in which I was outside on a jungle gym type structure trying to climb it with lots of kids and young adults around doing the same.

In my second FA, I realized I was dreaming when a little boy, from that jungle gym dream, was in my apartment. My husband was in the bathroom in this FA. I tried using a window as a portal but just entered another FA.

Set an intention before sleep last night. Remember this morning editing music on my computer. Boring dream but at least I remembered something after a dry spell.

This morning when I woke up I think I remembered 3-4 dreams but I decided to take it easy today and not worry to much about it. However the second time I woke up I had the best dream I've ever had...

1. D-DAY

I'm in an amphibious landing craft a KM of the coast of Normandy, I wear a WW2-era uniform and see more soldiers in the boat waiting for the gate to fall open. Not a single word is said and then suddenly the gate falls open and the first soldiers storm outside and jump in the water. Some of them get shot right away and I can see parts of their brain flying back in EXTREME detail. It's my turn and I dive straight into the water as fast as I can and plan to stay under until I reach the shore to stay clear of gunfire. As I jump in I rapidly sink down as my equipment is really heavy, I see multiple corpses on the bottom and some floating above me. I quickly take my army knife and try cutting my backpack loose, fortunatly it comes off quiet fast and I make my way to the beach. Upon crawling out of the water I'm deafened by the sound of explosions and MG-fire, I take cover behind an anti-tank cross thing and look for the other soldiers. I focus on the defenses and fire my automatic gun at a pillbox, I see how allied soldiers are trying to climb in the bunkers but they get smashed with spades on their head and fall down. Next to me is a soldier who's sitting out in the open, I pull him in cover and ask him if he's crazy. The beach is really large and doesn't have that many barriers on it, the cover I'm behind is actually the only obstacle and I suddenly notice there are like 5 soldiers only on the beach including me. I'm confused, then everyone stops firing their guns and I'm like "What, a seize fire?". I look around and see Steven Spielberg walking towards me, clapping his hands and shouting "Excellent work men, we got it all on tape and it already looks amazing!. All the fear and stress goes away and he asks "And, how was it?", I respond with relief "Wow, I mean like when I got out of the water, I was terrified.". The other figurants laughed a bit but it was a friendly laughter, not laughing at me.

One of my goals in an LD was to experience D-day, looks like that task is done now but I do want to try it out again when I'm really lucid.

Okay, so I'm with my mom. We're at this strange place that is something like a rock quarry only while we are there we gain the power to control plants and cause them to grow.
So there was sort of a long chunk of time where absolutely nothing interesting happened. We filled up the rock quarry area with various forests and gardens. She asked me to check on her car at one point. I'm gonna skip to the good stuff.
So we are walking around. The quarry area is not thoroughly filled with plants and forests and we come across something that we do not recall adding. A dark forest. All of the trees look dead, and there are skulls lanterns hanging from the trees. Dark clouds linger over the woods.
My mom stands at the edge of the woods and asks why somebody would make something like this. I told her that we came through here and filled this area with pines not too long ago. At this moment two feelings came over me simultaneously. One of them waslucidity. The other was the feeling that there was some evil presence encroaching upon us.

I told my mom that this was a dream, and that I felt something evil approaching. She ran off, leaving me. I stared into the skull woods for a few seconds and could feel fear sweeping over me. All of the skulls begin to rotate to look at me. I feel like I had better change the scene.
Dream spinning. I close my eyes and hold out my arms. I open them and now the skull woods is surrounding me. Skulls are looking at me from all sides. The evil presence is more powerful as well. I attempt to dream spin a second time, and this time I do it for several seconds until I feel carpet on my feet that I suppose were bare.
I am now in a hotel hallway. Something still feels off. A few of the lights are flickering, though the hallway looks to be a part of a fairly upscale hotel. The room in front of me has a glass window going from floor to ceiling. I knock, expecting my guide to come, and I see a toddler approaching the door. I open it and kneel down and talk to the toddler.
"Hey little buddy..."
I notice the toddler's eyes look off. They look more like those of a doll than an actual baby.
"Where are your parents?"
The toddler takes out a large knife and smiles at me. For some peculiar reason, even though I was lucid, I did not think to confront this nightmare. Aw man, I'm going for two.

I shut the door, lock it and rocket down the hall in flight. I turn right two times and then stop. I knock on a door that is to my left and hope and wonder as to what I will find. Hopefully not another psycho baby. Upon knocking on the door it nudges open. I look inside and the room appears empty. There is a large blanket-covered bump in one of the beds.
I make my way in, and the blanket covered bump comes open to reveal a man, probably in his 30's with black hair and a thin beard. He rolls over to reveal two bare-chested females, one blonde and one brunette, who... well I don't know they don't look very attractive, neither of them. They look to have almost exactly the same body.
The man rolls over. He looks somewhat annoyed at first and asks what I am doing. I tell him that I had just escaped a skull forest and a psycho baby. He reacts about how you would expect. I then asked if I could join in whatever 'fun' he oh so obviously was having here. He told me I could.
Naked TOTM time, and perfect setup. I throw off all of my clothes. The brunette recoils in terror. The blonde looks more confident, and she smiles at me. I don't know what they saw, I didn't look down. I kneel down and look at the blonde. I tell her that I've been waiting to try lucid sex with someone for a long time. She then gets confused wondering what 'lucid sex' means, but looks to brush past it. I look off to the ceiling for a second hoping that I won't make a mess in the bed.
Probably not, these girls aren't very attractive, and I'm probably not going to get that into it.
Then, a knock on the door.
The man grunts. "I'll get it." I put my pants back on. The man gets out of bed, and I realize that one of his hands is missing. He asks me to help me fit his broken robot hand. I attempt to aide him, but a broken robot hand is a broken robot hand, and all the fingers are missing. Whatever. He plugs it into a port on the end of his arm, puts on boxer shorts and we go to the door. There is nobody, just a couple sticks of dynamite attached to a remote detonator with blue duct tape.
The man screams some curses. He runs out into the hall and looks down at it. Confused, as if he is waiting for me to tell him what to do. One of the girls yells "Just kick it down the hall." He does but the duct tape sticks to his foot. He falls over and his head goes through the wall. He screams. I then shut the door and the competition and the explosive out. .
Now then, ladies, where were we?
I wake up.

Probably should have laid down some stabilization at some point. Would have had a little more warning for that...

I'm standing in the middle of a barren wasteland. There is nothing around me that is alive, but in the distance, along the horizon, I see some trees. Judging by their shape, I assume I am in Africa.

I think I'm getting a "new" dream sign: gators and swamps. Last night I had a dream about getting lots of mosquito bites while getting chased by a smart gator (and making "jokes" about malaria). And the night before that I was rescuing baby elephants and hippos from another huge gator...
I had that "dream theme" a while back, it just comes in and out of my dreams.



Anyways... I had a fun (and sort of frustrating) dream last night:

I'm laying down on the floor in my father's apartment, I want to try and "WILD". My sister comes in and "wakes me up" and I get a little upset.
Eventually I start to enter the "second layer" dream, which is very unstable. I am still on the apartment's floor , dragging myself across the living room. I try to stabilize by doing telekinesis on a box (stupid me). I throw a clumsily-visualized fireball at the box, and use an equally clumsily-visualized "rasengan" on it.
I "wake up" again, but this time I'm in my (supposed) grandparent's living room. I got my feet and legs on a desk, my head resting on the floor (lol). I try to WILD again but my cousin comes in, and tells me that "we have to go." So, I walk out of the house and enter a car, to go somewhere in the Jungle.

Not once did I reality check

Long dreaming night, to bed late, slept late, got back to sleep, should have gotten lucid but too tired after trip.

+ skiing downhill at night in a group, at the top of the hill was a campaign sign reading "Americans: we're not as stupid as you think we are!" it's from a candidate whom I think I know

+ playing "hide the USB wireless mouse interface in your ear!" game in a swimming pool with a large group

+ I work hard to recapture our ball in the swimming pool, tons of kids are playing, later it is a flag, I finally get it and victoriously return

+ up close view of a spices stored in a store, mostly hot crushed red pepper, some strange individual slice packing I think is really clever (one of those "you mean *that* was a dream?" dreams, felt very real)

+ The origins of Captain America: at first he's (me) a guy who just likes the suit, I try the helmet/mask on and check myself out in a mirror

+ water is building up in a diamond-shaped cabinet, I rush to get some stainless-steel cook-pots to capture and reach it just as it begins to pour out, it fills up all the pots quickly, I think about siphoning it through a green garden house down to an in-ground water storage area, but there's a guy in there held prisoner

+ in a team of young people/heroes trying to trick the evil witch into appearing, I think she does but the team just stands around

+ I'm on a 3-wheeled motorcycle slipping and sliding on a snowy road, I run into a fence, I try to figure out the best position of the front wheel to counteract the sliding (turned 90 degrees sideways seems best!)

+ arrive on an extremely urgent mission to an important adult figure who just doesn't want to hear it, we should all calm down and eat our dinner first, we start singing in harmony

+ I'm in a small movie theatre as a movie ends, I'm surprised to see about 5 other people scattered around the theatre, we all start doing "raise the roof"

+ something about my parents and lots of food

...and much more that forgot

I have been away from dreaming for quite a while due to having a great deal of difficulty with recall and motivation. Lately I have been taking some supplements for dream recall and I managed to remember a couple dreams, though they weren't fully lucid ones. Here are the dreams I remember:

07/06/14

Show Us Your Stuff!
I am wandering around in a neighborhood I don’t recognize. I am not lucid, and I have no idea what I am doing there or even how I got to be there. I stop and look around for a bit, trying to clear my mind. I remember that I am making plans to meet with some new people in a shared dream. I think maybe if I can find a place that looks like the meeting place we are aiming for then maybe I can have the shared dream work. I remember that we are meeting near a large tree so I search the area for a large tree. I wander aimlessly for a while, no real direction in mind, and I finally find myself in a beautiful garden. There is a pool of water there with a waterfall flowing into it. I look at that for a few minutes, the sound of the water is calming. I look around a bit more and I spot a tree that looks perfect! I head over to the tree and look at it for a few minutes. I try to imagine what it would be like to be dreaming about this tree and meeting other dreamers here. I try to imagine what it would be like to have shared dreams again and to get a confirmed match.

I close my eyes as I think about that and then I hear someone around me. When I open my eyes again there are people all around the tree! I don’t recognize them. My first thought is that I am now trespassing on private property and these people are going to be angry at me for being there even though I didn’t mean any harm. I think maybe I can slip away unnoticed, but as I am trying to leave, someone spots me. She comes over to me and says she knows me… I’m Raven Knight! She says she has heard a lot about me. So this person thinks I’m some kind of celebrity? I feel my face turn a bit red because I’m not sure where she might have heard of me. Then I think what she’s heard might not be good. I comment that you can’t believe everything you hear. She said she just wanted to see me use some of my dream powers. I am thinking that would be impossible because this isn’t a dream… but the others there also seem to want to see it so I decide to try. I focus on Damage Inc. by Metallica to create a fireball. The resultant fireball isn’t a huge one, but then I wasn’t really looking for a big one, I wouldn’t want anyone to get hurt. I am glad I was able to produce a fireball at all, and everyone around seems to think it is quite impressive even though it isn’t something huge. Some of them want to see lightning, so I use Battery by Metallica to call a small bolt of lightning. Then someone asks if I can open a portal to take them to another dimension. I am thinking it is amazing enough that I am doing all these things when I’m not dreaming, can I open a portal? That would mean I can get out of this world! I am about to focus on Through the Never by Metallica to open a portal when I wake up.

Nuclear Firestorm
I am at school. I look around and see everyone else has already left the classroom, so class is over. I wonder where my mind has been that I didn’t even notice that class had ended. I also notice I have no idea what the instructor has been talking about or if there’s anything I need to turn in that I haven’t handed in yet. I ask the instructor if there’s anything I still need to turn in, hoping it is not obvious that I haven’t been paying attention. He doesn’t seem to think there’s anything strange about my question and he just says no, I’m good. I take my things and leave the school. I get in my car to go home, but I am hearing a lot of strange things on the radio. It is weird that the radio is on, I never listen to the radio in the car, it’s always CD’s or my iPod. But there’s news on. Something about a nuclear explosion? WTF?

I reach home, and it is much like the place I live in my waking life, so nothing seems out of place. I go inside and find my mother is all ready to go. She tells me to get what I need to keep and grab the cats and leave as soon as possible. She doesn’t bother saying why or where to go, just that. And she takes the dog and leaves the house. I am just standing there, puzzled. I start looking for the cats. We have three cats, but right now I can’t find any of them. I think I will also take my computer and hard drive so I won’t lose that. But the cats come first. I keep looking for the cats. I finally get to the back door, a sliding glass door, and I look outside. I see a strange green beam shooting from the sky, from some source I can’t see. I can tell it’s going to hit in the mountains. Somehow I know the beam will trigger a nuclear explosion, so being this close to it would not be good. I have to get out of here!

I am frantically looking for the cats now. There’s no way I can leave them behind. I finally find one of them, my fluffy white cat named Princess. I scoop her into my arms and look around for my keys. Forget the carriers, there’s no time… now where are my keys?! I need to put Princess in the car and find the other two! After searching frantically for a couple minutes I realize how foolish I am being. There’s no way I can find two more cats and then get far enough from the blast to make a difference. I look outside again and the green beam is now solid and hitting the ground somewhere in the nearby mountains. Nothing to be done for it. I go away from the window and sit down in a corner at the far side of the house and wait. I see a blinding flash of light from behind the house. There was the blast. And shortly after it a searing wave of fire blasts through the house. I feel the heat as my body is incinerated, but not as pain, just as a warmth and a heavy wind. And as I feel the warmth everything fades to black.

I wake up in bed and realize the nuclear detonation was just a dream. I come out of my room and find my mom fixing pancakes for breakfast. She smiles and asks how I am this morning. I say fine, and then tell her about my dream. I point out the window at the place the nuclear blast went off at. She says she is sure glad I survived and continues making pancakes. I find one of my kitties, the fluffy black one named Shadow, and I am petting her as I wake up for real.
