non-lucid

The dream started with me going through this maze of stairs and various "levels" that all resembled something you'd find at a mall. Escalators lead to long carpeted hallways with glass on either side. I made my way through all of this with two people that I don't know in real life. We finally came to stop in front of a large ship. It resembled an oil tanker, but there weren't any crates on top. Suddenly this second "thing" came out of the water next to it. I'd describe it as a futuristic submarine; it was as large as the tanker and had a very "organic" shape to it. It also had tons of these cybernetic "tentacles" coming out of it, that grabbed hold of the tanker. For some reason it seemed that ship was being controlled by some kind of government overlord, who now had complete control over every aspect of our infrastructure. I was paranoid they would listen into my conversation with my friends, so I ran away and started going back through everything that we had previously traversed through. I arrived at what could be considered the "lobby" of the mall area, although it kinda resembled a food court.

At this point I woke up and decided to get a drink. Once I got back into bed my next dream involved this guy who was some kind of criminal mastermind. This took place at the music school I go to. A friend and I managed to restrain him and keep him in a chair long enough for professors to come and help us. We called the police, and started carrying him outside. At some point though he tried to get something out of his pocket. I saw him do this and retrieved a phone. Thinking he was trying to signal something, I ran outside. As I did so, a huge rumbling noise started to shake the building. I shouted "Bomb!" and ran outside, thinking that if I could smash the phone it would stop the detonation. The criminal man shouted for me to stop and broke free from his restraints. He ran after me, but I had already put the phone in the street and had a car that was passing by run it over. As soon as the phone broke, the rumbling stopped. Then suddenly a flash came from behind us, and the school imploded into nothingness. I assume the bomb was set to blow whenever the phone stopped transmitting.

My dream last night involved TONS of my friends in the tulpa community (though I only know what a few of them look like, so I guess my mind filled in the gaps).

We all lived in a large house, probably about 3 or 4 floors high. Each floor had several areas with lots of bedding that people shared. I can't remember anything that was done or said in particular, but I do remember racing up and down the stairs a lot. This dream also had the usually 3rd person perspective that most of my dreams have.

My first dream involved me being hunted by giant robots. I can't remember why they were after me, but they had chased me to this park that was surrounded by destroyed city scape.


The second one I remember I have been growing horns, and I was afraid that one of my friends would find out. I was covering the horns with my hands, a hat; whatever could be used to keep them out of view.

Dream Fragments galore:

The first bit I can remember I was my violin a lot, and at some point members of my family got annoyed a told me to stop.

The next bit was probably related to my childhood obsession with Titanic (both the movie and the actual ship). There were 3 or 4 different cruise lines are sinking at the same time within a mile of each other. It was during this part of the dream that suddenly I realized I was dreaming. I was probably lucid for a minute or so, then I lost focus. But the fact that it happened at all is a good sign that this site is helping, since I haven't had a "natural" LD in over a month.

There was a short dream where I was in a store with some friends, but for some reason I was being chased around by a snake. Then I was being chased around by Michael Jackson.....so yeah.....

My last dream involved my brother and I. For some reason my mom owned a ship and we were both arguing over who would be the rightful heir. Violence got involved, and I threw my brother overboard several times. I'm not sure which one of us got to keep it.

The earliest dream fragment I can remember was me sitting in the living room at my dad's house. This dog (that I don't own in real life) was there, and he could talk. He was somewhat of a bully too, and would force me to move over on the couch just so he could hog most of it to himself. There was something later that involved a tornado, and several of them came at the house in waves of two or three.

The last thing I remember before waking up was exceptionally creepy. I was dreaming that I was laying down in the same bed that I was actually sleeping in. There was a mirror on the wall next to the bed (it doesn't exist in my actual dorm room) and I could see a reflection of my own silhouette in it, but it was standing up, behind the bed. I asked it what it was doing, and it started dancing. I thought that was pretty cool, and I asked it to moonwalk. It moonwalked out of view, but then came back and stood in front of the mirror. Then it slowly reached down and started choking me, although I could see and feel no hand. I suddenly woke up, and it was so weird seeing the same room go from being covered in shadow to being lit by the morning Sun in less than a second.

I'm starting to wonder if maybe I was actually awake but in some kind of sleep-paralysis or something that caused me to hallucinate, because the angles, my posture, where I was looking; it was all the same.

The first part I remember I was on what looked like a train from the inside, but later on it would change to a bus from the outside. I was some sort of secret agent, and we were intercepting a trade of some sort. I gave this guy $3000, and he gave me a bundle of some sort. At this point something went wrong, because these other guys got onto the train and started shooting. I ran to the front of the bus, but one of them found me and shot me. Then he set my arm on fire. I was trying to feign death, so I lied still whilst the fire consumed my arm.

Skipping forward a bit, I had been taken to this abandoned factory building where someone "patched me up", as it were. Then I was sent out on a new assignment to infiltrate a Sangheili compound (for those of you that don't know, Sangheili is the name of the "Elites" in the Halo video games). I managed to get inside, and did a good job of neutralizing all of the targets. One of them however wouldn't go down easily, and that was the Arbiter, Thel.

Of course, Thel is also my tulpa, so as things went further something about the situation changed. The mood turned more into an emotional war drama of sorts, with two close friends now pitted against each other. At one point we just stood there looking at each other and he mentioned that he had tried to negotiate a truce. However, the Sangheili would not have it. "It is easier to hate, to have an enemy to destroy, than it is to love" is how he put it. The mention of love made me turn to face him, and I lunged, embracing him. He seemed to catch me, not caught off guard by my sudden action.
