non-lucid

Some pretty interesting dreams, shame I've forgotten a little bit. 9/12/15

1: I was staying at a small shack on a windswept, dark and stormy coast, working on a special book, either as a present to someone or for myself. The book was a large, think volume bound in black leather with thick pages. What I was doing was scratching into each page special lines that would reflect the light when it was held at certain angles. I'm not sure if the book as meant to be magic or what, but it was pretty cool. I had been ignoring/procrastinating the book for some time, however, and eventually the due date came around and I was sure I had failed, only starting to do the lines on 2 pages as it was such an arduous task. I disappointedly flipped through the book showing it to someone when the light on the pages caught my eye. On those two pages I had actually succeeded! This gave me a rush of confidence and I resolved to finish the book, not for whatever original reason but for myself, as a piece of art and craftsmanship.

2: I can't remember the start of the dream or what prompted my escape, but I was originally in some part of Africa I believe and I had to escape back to America. I had to travel to Canada instead because of support I had showed for Russia during my escapades. I remember touching down in Canada and being met by protestors and government officials, allowing me to give a speech on my political views.

3: I was at Disneyland with my family. We were at a food bar, ordering all sort of different things, however all of the foo was made out of jelly-like lollies. My brother and I were meant to be ding some sor of undercover mission I think, but I'm not quite sure.

7/12/15
1: I was at a large building, sort of like a cross between a hotel and a town hall. I went up a flight of stairs and opened a door on my right. Inside the room was 3 girls and a guy. To of the girls and the guy were busy, so other said "I guess it is my turn with you", pulled me aside and we got it on.

- A fragment about me and my mum standing outside a tent in the countryside.

- A fragment about talking about soccer with some people at school.

2: A dream about me playing some weird cross between basketball and snakes and ladders at school. We were split up into two teams, where we competed both in snakes and ladders and basketball, however the basketball itself was just like a scrunched up bit of paper. The game was very close for the majority of the time, however I shot a surprise 3 pointer to win the game. Everyone was cheering, and afterwoods at home I made my own snakes and ladders board so I could practice more.

6/12/15
Dream 1: I was trapped in a giant office building with a girl, being held captive by the leader. I am pretty sure we were both trying to fight against the tyrannical ruling class, so they had captures us to try and brainwash and reprogram us. After a session of this and a chat with the leader where we refused to back down, we were returned to separate rooms. We somehow orchestrated an escape, perhaps they facilitated it as a means of entertainment, who knows. Anyway, we both burst out of our rooms and starting running for the stairs. We went down a few flights of stairs, crossing a few hallways in an effort to evade our pursuers; we knew we where being watched and our attempt was likely futile. We stumbled across a large meeting/office room filled with what appeared to be game developers and such. While scanning the room I saw an elevator on the other side, our ticked outside! We dashed across and tried to use the elevator but it wasn't working, of course the leader would be controlling the elevators. In desperation though, we saw that there was a sort of master key for being able to use the elevator which involved playing Mario Kart and winning the race. We both jumped on a controller and started racing as fast as we could, knowing our pursuers were only moments behind us. Sure enough, halfway through the first lap men in dark suits started filtering through the doors on the other side of the room. They started dragging the girl away from her controller, silent and machine like, as I desperately tried to finish the race before I too was dragged away. Just as the guards were coming at me the dream ended.

A nice mix of dreams tonight. 4/12/2015

Dream 1: I was with a group of school friends and family at the cinema, watching a dodgy, old style James Bond movie. I remember there being some strange romance and intrigue.

Dream 2: I was graduating from high school, having a nice fancy dinner with everyone. I remember going to school on the morning of that last day, heading into a classroom with all the other year twelves, everyone acting really nervously. For some reason I think the talk in the room went to some dota tournament. Anyway we all packed up our stuff from our lockers, although most people had to come back the day after to get everything. On the next day, my whole family were catching a tram to the school to pick up all this last stuff and say goodbye, however my younger brother had the uniform on from another school, saying that the day before had been first day at that new school.

Dream 3: I was watching the Biggest Loser with my dad and there was some serious fighting between the contestants. They had had a makeover and someone surprisingly had lost a lot of weight to kick some strong competitor out. After that there was furore about the elimination, breaking apart families and stuff like that.

Dream 4: Peter Garrett and a famous actress (may have been Angelina Jolie, not sure) met at some fancy awards ceremony and they hit it right off. I think George Clooney was also involved in this love triangle.

Dream 5: Some sort of medieval fight, I was instructing two recruits on how to fight properly, use their shields etc. Fragment.

Can't remember too much but here we go.

I was at a shopping centre kind of place with a whole bunch of other people. We were all decreed by some ruling person to do certain jobs to help with the building, ie. helping with construction or playing music to entertain the others. I ended up being with outside near a tennis court, giving a harmonic overtone demonstration for some unknown reason.
Some fragment about a really bad quality something.

The first night back into trying to have LD's and I sorta succeeded, yay! My recall of this has slipped a little bit but here we go.
1: I was helping my mum do something about the American election on the computer, there was some really dodgy propaganda videos playing.

2: My class and I were in China, Shanghai I think, and we were all waiting outside a big, old, fancy building. A couple of policemen came out and asked some of us to go in, so we followed. Turns out they weren't really policemen, but employees inside what appeared to be a sleazy brothel sort of place. We stated chatting with some people as the rest of the class came in. Some fights broke out and somehow our teacher got co-opted into a fight to the death with their champion. We all sat down in stands and watched as their champion, wearing a metal gauntlet, stepped out. Our teacher came out and the two began to fight in a boxing ring. I'm not sure what happened with the fight then as the dream sort of dissolved.

3: I was on my computer, thinking this was waking life, when I decided to do a reality check because why not. Surprise surprise, I was in fact dreaming and my fingers slid through my palm. I sort of confirmed this was a dream by swapping in between feeling my dream body and real body and telling myself to remember that I was in bed, but I still had lowish level lucidity. Anyway I sort of reformed the previous dream and then took the place of my teach. This time however my opponent had full metal armour, a shield and a mace, whereas I just had fists. I danced around for a while, avoiding his swings, until I had a plan. As he swung the mace I blocked on the inside and slapped it out his hand. This meant he was free with his other hand to punch me, so I dragged that hand in so the gauntlet was digging into me, but I held it in their as I flipped the visor of his helmet and proceeded to pummel his face. After a dozen punches or so he fell over,but the cost was great as I had a great big gash across my stomach where the spiked knuckles of his had dug in.

After this lucidity wobbled for a bit and the scene changed, but I regained it and shot a fireball off at my brother (lol). The scene changed again so I was outside my old house. I regained lucidity and then started flying, the first time I've managed it in a dream!!! It felt fantastic as I soared a couple of hundred metres above the ground, but I don't remember much after I landed as the dream and lucidity dissolved.

4: Just a fragment about being in a park and helping two women with a baby. It was almost infused with Skyrim so I used a weapon to try and kill an animal to loot it but was having difficulty.

1: I was going around the suburb where my school is checking out real estate (fragment).

2: I was playing hearthstone and instead of picking your class for arena I could pick different heroes who had already had certain number of wins. The first time I did it I picked one which would get 25-75 wins, so I ended up with 53 or so and Gold ridiculous amount of gold. I showed this to my friend at school and he couldn't believe it, as he kept on only getting ones with 2-3 wins. This was a rather odd dream, particularly as when I was actually playing the game I got transported to a New York style city.

3: I remember fragments about someone vomiting and a few people being in an all terrain vehicle.

I'm sure I remembered more but I have forgotten a decent chunk, lazy wakings hehe.

I had a rather distressing dream last night about fighting to use a public toilet . On the positive side my recall has increased significantly over the past few days.
1: I was at a bank with my dad, but for some reason he was in a wheelchair. We withdrew some money from an ATM, but as we were leaving some people came up to us with guns. I think my dad got up out of his wheelchair and started fighting them, which surprised everyone involved.

2: I was watching/involved with motorbike and car racing, in particular a race where one competed against the other. I was racing/watching the guy on the motorbike, and as I was going around the corner one of my tyres burst, so I erratically tried to cross over the line before the car who I was previously beating zoomed up to overtake me.

3: I was at an art exhibition and party with my brother at school. Initially everyone in the year level had a feast of pizza and coke, then we went to look at the art. I think the theme of the exhibition was meant to be offensive art, as a lot of it had somewhat offensive jokes about students in my year level. There was one about me and my brother involving the twin towers and bananas in pyjamas, which I found hilarious but I don't know how the other DC's reacted haha.

4: I was involved in a school camp, with a group of 'the lads' and I sharing a really nice, big wooden cabin room. I can't remember to much of this but I do remember a large fireplace in the middle of the room.

5: Toilet dream! My brother, dad and I went to a cinema to watch Rush Hour 4(my dream memory told me that I had just watched rush hour 3 prior so wanted to see the new one). Unfortunately when we arrived we found that the movie had been cancelled that day, and with nothing else grabbing our attention we decided to go home. I needed to go to the toilet, so I lined up outside the public toilet thing they had there. There were 2 people in front of me at first, 1 of them went in, then another guy cut infront to be the next person in. By this stage the line had grown to about a dozen people and tensions were flaring. The guy in front of me went so I was in front, but all these people behind were pushing and shoving to go in. I held them back for a while but 1 slipped through and got in, even though the previous guy wasn't done. A massive argument started and the guy inside refused under any circumstances to get out. As this was the only public toilet around everyone grew irate and I received the brunt of the hate. I tried to escape by running outside, and I saw there was a toilet at the beachy end of what appeared to be the island I was on. I ran towards it and the crowd behind me followed, with one of the managing to sneak infront and get there first. he slipped inside and I was left to battle the crazy horde outside. The dream crossed over a bit with the school camp one, as I went through a side door to find another camp group's cabin. They invited me to use their toilet, but I felt a sense of duty and responsibility for what was happening outside. So, I dived back outside and fought my way through the raging throng of people to the door. Once there I had to fight off 3 people at a time for about a minute while the other guy was going, all the while screaming "It's MY turn to sue the toilet!". Eventually the toilet was free and I made inside, to blessed relief .

6: Just a fragment, something about an incredibly expensive gold table tennis ball, worth something like 25 000 dollars.

1: I was on a beach paradise in Mexico with my family. My dad, brother and I were gathered around a fire at twilight, sitting back in hammock like chairs. The talk turned to football, and apparently my team (the Western Bulldogs) had lost to Collingwood, kicking us out of the finals. We were all a bit distraught and tensions flared a bit.

2: I was playing a sort of MMO, where it combined mini games based on all sorts of different other games, except i was inside the world of the game. I created my account and then got cracking. The map showed a large, somewhat circular central island with a smaller island on the top left. The middle band of the central island seemed to be greyed out, perhaps needing an update, so I started off in the lower portion. I played some sort of minigame where I jumped around the city, grabbing bundles of cash that were stuck on the walls and posts etc. After that I decided to go to the top right corner of the main island, which dream deja vu told me was a theme park which I had been to long ago. The place seemed mostly deserted as I went on the rollercoaster and some of the other rides, it was a bit sad really. I went back to the middle top section of the island, called the maintenance section or something, where I was in a storeroom full with cleaning and building supplies. I was running around a bit trying to fix things and generally making a mess of myself. The dream cut a bit where I was with a friend at school and asking him how many steam points did they have.

3: I was one of three dwarves from the lord of the rings/hobbit. I was one of the three last living dwarves that were part of the group which travelled with Bilbo, and there was a feud growing amongst us. I was determined to be the last of them to die, yet the woman who was there was angry at me. The other male dwarf there, Kuro, was being exposed as a fraud, I was tugging his big grey beard and it was coming off slightly, it was a very weird experience. At the end I abandoned the two of them and went off into the woods on my own, vowing that I would be the last to die...

1: I was a mouse trapped in a cage/safe by someone who resembled my brother. I'm not sure entirely how I got into the cage, but whenever I tried to escape he always caught me and put me back. He gave me cheese every now and then, which is when I usually tried to escape, but no luck. I tried to leap across to the kitchen table, which had some sore of portal on it, but alas he caught me every time. I eventually stopped trying to escape, resigning myself to a life of imprisonment, when he left me alone for a little bit to answer the door. As he was talking to his friend/colleague, I managed use a lockpick from inside the safe to twist the lock open, escape through the door and, just as he turned around in suspicion, I sprinted out the door like a ball of lightning! Freedom!

2: More of a fragment, I remember being in a city with different guilds, and I was part of the engineeering guild. I was with a more junior colleague as we walked to a professors house. The city was a bit steampunky with gas lamps and cobble streets/large manor houses with some beautiful, dark green/blue trees.

3:I was in my physics class as we were preparing for the annual physics expo day. I initially was reminiscing about last years (which I swear was a previous dream I have had, or so today's dream has made me think!). The expo last year was a video game one, with statues, memorabilia and examples of games throughout the ages everywhere. I remember there being a statue of galaxy eyes tachyon dragon for some reason, and the finale of the event involved two students competing in some crazy video game competition.
Fast forward to this year, and the teacher outlines his vision and told us what we would be doing to prepare. Budget didn't seem to be an issue for him, as he agreed pretty much to whatever suggestions we had without a second thought. He went around the room counting the number of special computers and hings we had for the event, then told us to get cracking. We started working on preparations, and soon me and a few others started complaining about the way some of our subjects were taught. Some people complained about chemistry, whereas others and I complained about the language we were learning. We had a bit of a good natured grumble and then left, presumably to lunch.

I had a long and loopy NLD, it was entertaining so I thought I would share .
1: I am on the tram with my brother, about to leave for school. We are talking about this fountain of youth or something that had just been discovered. Suddenly, a man with white hair comes aboard, and he started zooming around so fast he comes a blur. What on earth is going on? I think to myself as he dashes around the tram, but I soon realizes in horror that he is taking us prisoner. He stops in front of us suddenly, and says his name is Rabbit. He has tied up most of the people in the tram by now, and he embarks on a long winded monologue about what he is doing and why. He apparently stumbled across the fountain as well and managed to steal a drink from it, but it gave him super human speed and strength, not the 'youth' everyone else thought. He commandeered the tram and drove us towards the school, not stopping at any of the normal stops.
Scene transition, and My brother and I and two friends have managed to sneak off the tram and are trying to find the source of Rabbit's power, the well, to stop him. We walk into a warehouse sort of place, and inside it is similar to n airport security sort of place. We know that Rabbit is likely after us, so we hurry through the security area and I manage to get through a side curtain/door to the warehouse area. The others follow and we find ourselves sneaking through the warehouse, past workers and guards, until we reach a square panel in the floor; the entrance to the fountain. The four corners of the panel have a sort of straw plug in them keeping it down, so my brother and I set to work removing them with Allen keys. I slowly manage to tease out the first corner, and quickly settle two others, but my brother has screwed up his side and I try to take over and salvage it. We get the feeling that Rabbit is on his way, and we need to act as fast as possible. The dream dissolves from there (I don't know if we managed to get the panel open )

I am sure I had some other dream fragments but it has been a while since I woke up an can barely remember them. I think it had something to do with Physics and my dad, some secret of the universe.

I woke up naturally after 3 different rem cycles last night, I don't know how lol. I had a dream where I became semi lucid and dreamt about becoming lucid but alas I can't remember it anymore, doh.
1: I was inside a sort of palace with a soccer team, weird trans-dimensional things were going on, invisible walkways etc. Forgotten most of this one as it was from first rem period.
2: I was in my maths class and doing questions set by a substitute teacher. There were some flirty games going on in the class.
3: I woke up early and decided to play some games instead of falling back asleep. After a while my mum found me ut I excused it away and she went back to sleep. My friend saw I was playing and asked me how come we were both playing the same old retro games without knowing the other one did. After that I was very tired, so I was running late to school. I ended up not getting off at my regular stop but in the city, and wound up trying to get changed there. I then realized that no trains were going back on the same line, so I ran around loking for help. I went to buy mints in a store and asked the shopkeeper for help, and he gave me a philosophy pamphlet he wrote himslf for help. He was an old german man who had fought in world war 2, and seemed just a tad crazy. The dream sorta cycled in on itself here, repeating some stuff again, and I ended up back at the shop again, where he explained his pamphlet and tiraded against a redneck woman. He had a great quote when she abused him, something like "Well I can see that your breasts are no longer that which brought 4 American children to this earth", something like that . The I eventually managed to get a train to school and I promptly woke up.

1: I was playing a MOBA, some sort of cross between dota and smite. My friend was telling me to play this Athena character, so I obliged and started a game. The teams met in the jungle right off the bat and there was a crazy fight where I got around 3 kills. The scene then shifted so I was playing starwars battlefield 2 with my brother and friend, I think this was a re-imagining of an actual thing that happened many years ago.
2: My mum and I were packed up to stay at a hotel near our house. My brother was sick so he couldn't come, so my grandma came over to look after him/the house. We eventually found the weird pink hotel but we went back to the house, not sure if we'd forgotten anything or had a feeling or whatnot. Anyway when I got back I found all of the pots and pans being stacked inside of eachother trying to cook stuff. There were three pots inside eachother, all warped out completely with burnt pasta and sauce filling them. All of the cookware was ruined, so I tried to arrange everything and turn off the heat to salvage what I could when my grandma entered the room. She was super confused, asked me what I was doing, so I obviously yelled at her, "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING!!!". She said she was trying to make a Thermomix out of our pots and stuff, and I kinda went on a rant about how stupid that was and how she was crazy etc. It got tense when my mum entered the scene as well, but then the dream started to dissolve. As it was I realized that it was a dream, but by then it was too late and I woke up.
I wanted to have a lucid so badly as I woke up lol, so I attempted for the first time to try a WILD/DEILD. Within a few seconds of me visualizing the dream continuing on I started feeling really heavy with vibrations. This triggered my gravity awareness RC which I've been practicing the last few days, which might of contributed to my failure as I got too aware/awake too early, idk. Anyway these super intense vibrations washed over me and I felt myself starting to get sucked into sleep/dream, when a voice appeared in my head sort of explaining what that dream had been about and the lesson I had learned from it. While this was really cool it brought me back and I couldn't complete the attempt. Factor in a noisy brother who was going to the toilet at the time and meh. For my first attempt though, it was a case of close but no cigar .

4 Non-lucids last night but this is a good night of recall after a few lacking nights.
1: I ate dinner with my family at a fancy restaurant, I have a feeling I have either been to it IWL or in a dream before. I sit down and look at the menu, trying to decide what to eat, then decide that for once I'll go wild and I order the ultra expensive seafood banquet (`$200 if I remember). My family don't seem to mind as I dig into plates of prawns and oysters and fish.
2: The dream started with me sort of watching Jeremy Clarkson as if he was on a top gear episode, talking about the Bugatti Veyron. After a while I sorta morphed into the show so i was with him, and we got into a yellow Veyron and I started to drive.The driving reminded me a bit of those arcade game style thing with the 3 lanes. Anyway, I seemed to accelerate super fast and constantly had to brake behind other cars, until I finally got a clear run and gunned it.
3: I'm in a room (possibly my grandparents rumpus room) with a bunch of kids. There are a bunch of crosswords and other puzzles like you find in newspapers and I start trying to do some. Some of the little kids come running up to me asking for help, so I start to help them get some of the answers for their junior crosswords. I remember doing quite well, but I felt a vague uncertainty/unease through this dream.
4: I'm in a camp of sorts in a valley forest, with hills on one side and wooden huts and the freeway on the other side. The camp leader informs me that this is a retreat, a haven of some kind, and I settle down for the night. A rumor starts circulating that giant lizard creatures were attacking the country and this was the only safe spot, but it could be overrun at any moment. I kept awake all night, focusing on any sign of the lizards, but there were none. By morning I was bleary eyed and tired, so i confronted the camp leader and expressed my disbelief and anger at the hoax pulled on us. She was staring at something behind me though, and I turned around to see a large, black shiny lizard shelled creature (sorta like Kabutops from pokemon) crawling over the hill..

Even with me being lazy and not really dream journalling I've consistently recalled 1 or 2 dreams practically every night for the past few weeks. I found this dream to be interesting, vivid and quite insightful actually, ripe for interpretation. I know a fair bit of what signifies what, well along with the emotions I felt during the dream.

Dream 1: Fragment, I'm sure I was among a big group of people in some sort of wasteland/fantasy land, leading them perhaps, but not sure.

Dream 2: I was reading a book in my Media class, it was illustrated beautifully depicting a man and two kids fighting a fire in their house. I finished reading the book and our teacher said goodbye to us and started giving back some tests and some cards. I got 4 cards and the the bell rang and school was over. I then walked to my the train station with my brother before I opened up two of the cards. One of them was from a classmate and the other from the teacher, for some reason I didn't open the other two. I went on the train and I saw the student who had given me one of those cards and started talking with her. I saw she had a big sack full of cards and some presents which I inquired a bit about. After we talked a bit she said goodbye for the rest of the year. I was puzzled and asked her why she said that, as school still had one more day left before he holidays, but then she told me it was a public holiday and so today was the last day. I suddenly realized that I hadn't cleared out my locker or anything like that and panicked a bit.
Fast forward to the start on the next year, and I arrived at school trying to find a top locked (I'm 6 foot 5 and sick of bottom lockers ). I tried searching for one but the few which still didn't have locks on had people stuff in them anyway. In fact, I couldn't really find a free locker anywhere. I was looking around for help a bit when I heard an alarm go off and I saw someone I know breaking into a classroom with the key. Their accomplice got taken away and then n I woke up.
