    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. How I failed to save the world from my evil self

      Set: Tomb Raider world, my apartment
      Characters: Robert Downey Jr., Lara Croft
      Lucidity: None, but experienced a false awakening


      My girlfriend K woke up at 6:30 to go to work, and kept me awake for an hour or so. After she was gone, I was lying in bed thinking about OpheliaBlue's dream I read about the day before, it was a hot sex dream she had using WILD after waking up in the morning. I wanted to try it out, so I started thinking about making love with my girlfriend on a beach. I was still sleepy so it was easy to focus on that and not the noise and light around me. For some reason, my mind drifted towards a fantasy I had when I was a kid, about Lara Croft on a beach (don't judge me haha), but still with K instead of Lara.

      Next thing I know I am in a dream, in a world that looks a lot like a video game. There are green hills around me, and some ancient monuments made of gold and diamonds. It's a beautiful sight. There's a bunch of items here and there (medikits, save crystals…) that shine and rotate like in a video game.
      I have a mission, I am supposed to go to a city and find the tesseract. The city is very pretty as well, it kinda looks like the university in Final Fantasy 8, with a lot of gold everywhere. I have no control over my actions, and it frustrates me that I don't pick up all the items, like I usually do in video games. Before I have a chance to explore the city or complete my mission, the dream ends.

      I wake up in my apartment, I get up and realize with horror that the living room is a mess, which is terrible because we're moving out soon and the realtor is coming today with people to visit the apartment (that's for real). There are clothes and dishes everywhere, the floor is filthy and there's food all over the place. I start to panic because I don't have time to take care of this, I'm already late for work, and I have to write down my dream which I remember perfectly and do my workout. I try to calm down and think about the dream.

      After that I'm in the dreamworld again, but with a different point of view. I can see myself from the first dream, in third person view. My character looks a lot like Robert Downey Jr. with a classy striped suit. I realize now that he is evil and that he wants the tesseract to control the world. I have to stop him.
      This time around, I am Lara Croft (I am not at all obsessed with her, but apparently my mind is…). I run as fast as I can to the city before Robert gets there… But it's too late, he has found the tesseract and rules the world now. The beautiful golden towers around me are flooded with liquid concrete, which turns them into grey skyscrapers. It's not sunny anymore and things are falling apart…

      This time I wake up for real, I am actually late for work, but there's no mess in the apartment, phew!
    2. How I scared an innocent family

      Set: Some house allegedly around San Jose
      Characters: Pam from True Blood, a guy in charge of my sleep, his family
      Lucidity: None, but some awareness of incoherences and a great amount of details



      It's a dark and cloudy day, and I'm driving on a straight road that stretches indefinitely through a sad and deserted countryside. Although it doesn't look anything like the Silicon Valley, I'm convinced that I'm driving from San Jose to San Francisco. There is nothing but Japanese/Korean economy cars on this road, and I remember thinking something like "Dear Americans, what happened to being proud of driving an oversized fancy-looking ride? Is this France or what?". The scenery is downright depressing.

      I proceed towards a house that looks like a British cottage. Someone is there waiting for me. It's Pam from True Blood, she looks evil and determined. She talks about the man living in the house, she despises him and his hillbilly family. He is apparently in charge of my sleep, whatever that means. She shows me graphs of my sleep cycles, which look accurate according to what I've been reading on this website, and then with a smirk shows me a graph of the guy's sleep cycles, which are terrible, as if he was awaken every 10 minutes throughout the night. This pleases her, and now she wants me to observe him through a window, at the back of the house.

      The inside of the house is very poorly furnished, the entire ground floor is just one room with a beat up couch, an old TV, an open kitchen and wooden stairs going up. The man is arguing with his son, who is having three friends over. The mother is sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor and looks like a hobo. The kids turn on the TV and a PlayStation 2 with grey controllers, but the image is monochrome green and they look disappointed. The dad sits down on the floor next to the TV, looking depressed.

      I am now one of the kids and I can see my old self coming into the room, he looks menacing and powerful. The dad offers him a drink, he looks obviously scared as he pours transparent liquids from several different bottles into a tall glass. My old self throws the glass at him and spills its contents all over his face, saying he wants to teach him a lesson. We run upstairs and try to think of something we could use as a weapon… This is exciting and scary at the same time. Hand mixers appear in our hands, with little cranks that make them spin. We duel a little bit with our new toys, and run downstairs to try to scare the enemy, but he has a hand mixer too and plays with us, nothing is scary or depressing anymore.

      All this excitement wakes me up.

    3. How my mind got me a cool new place, and ruined it for me

      Set: Sunny day, Paris suburbs, huge and gorgeous apartment
      Characters: My girlfriend K, my sister, a freaking spider with wings
      Lucidity: None, but very detailed environment



      I am with K in our new imaginary place. It appears to be on the first floor in some sort of suburban residential neighborhood. It is so charming, clean and modern it could be an IKEA display apartment. We are discovering the kitchen, impressed with cool utensils we've never seen before. The kitchen has huge panoramic windows and we can see a bunch of people in our garden, having fun and drinking champagne, they're probably here to welcome us in the neighborhood or something. We hang out with them for a bit, it's all fun and games but I don't pay that much attention to them because I'm excited about my new place.

      I go back inside on my own, and that's when I notice a massive spider, sleeping on its web, with its legs retracted. I look around me and I see some other smaller spiders here and there. For some reason, this doesn't make me react at all, even though I'm really not a big spider fan. I continue to focus on how pretty the place is. After a little while though, I look back at the big freaky spider, and realize it has started moving. That's when I panic. I call K and my sister (who is here now), and we panic together. While they scream their lungs out, I try to find a pair of scissors in the kitchen's multiple drawers, I want to cut the spider to hopefully kill it. All I can find are utensils that look like scissors, but are actually ice tongs, snail tongs and other things. I finally locate a big white pair of scissors that looks like it could work, but it's too late, the spider is now coming out of some sort of cocoon, and right before our eyes, grows a pair of dragonfly wings. That's right, a spider with wings, thank you very much mind, you really got me on that one. We get the hell out of the kitchen and shut the door right on time, as we hear the flying monster rushing onto us. It's trapped inside so we calm down...

      I am now facing the bathroom door, I come in to see what it looks like, and close the door behind me. The room is white and spotless, and there's no spiders in sight. As I walk forward, big clamshell-looking plastic sprinklers are set off, and blast a fresh mist at me. I find that pretty cool, and I notice the price tag is still on the sprinklers, they're very expensive. I think to myself I would never have bought that but since it's already here, why not enjoy it. I take my clothes off and walk towards the tub, it's huge and square-shaped, and looks quite deep, kind of like the bathtub in Lara Croft's manor in the first Tomb Raiders. The entire wall is a window and through it I can see the neighbors' backyard, two little girls are playing with a beach ball. The window doesn't seem to exist, and as I continue to walk forward, I end up on the grass. I wonder if they can see me, they are laughing now. I realize I'm still naked... I quickly back out and wonder who would build a bathroom with a window like that. That was quite a first impression I made on my new neighbors...

      After that the dream is over.
