Awake - Dream - Lucid

These might be even less accurate than they were before because of the forum rollback.

I didn't do much during the day. Sundays are usually quite boring. Mostly I just watched TV or checked the forums. At 10PM on the dot is when I passed out.

Dream Fragment 1 - 1:10AM
I was trying to stop a King's son from breaking into the castle through a small window.

Interpretation
No idea what the hell this dream was trying to tell me.

Woke up, did a reality check, then grabbed my iPod to put in some notes. I didn't think I'd be up this early so I quickly passed out again.

Dream Fragment 2 - 3:20AM
I was running up the ramp side on the map Radiation in Call of Duty: Black Ops. I had an RPG out and there was a guy camping with an assault rifle (don't know which but looked like a SCAR) at the spot where the button for the door was. I tried to hit him but he flew into the air wearing what seemed like a jetpack from Halo: Reach. His jetpack short circuited and he fell to his death.

Interpretation
I've been wanting to play some Call of Duty with my little brother for awhile now. I guess I either miss him, the game, or both.

Woke up thinking it would be morning but after checking my iPod, I found it was still pretty early. I did a RC then I put in some notes then tired to do a WILD. I didn't get very far before falling back asleep.

Dream Fragment 3 - 4:40AM
Rushodd was in the bathroom using his Gorilla hair gel and Courtney was in the front room making a giant blanket out of t-shirts that were mostly blue or greenish.

Interpretation
Spent all weekend with Rushodd, Courtney, Shayla, and John. I probably dreamed more about them but this is all I recall. I looked at that hair gel every time I went to use the bathroom, shower, or change. The blanket was from me practicing ADA and focusing on John's blanket in his bedroom and is blue and green. It was made from T-shirts because it made me think of Twilight when I was awake.

Woke up again and immediately did a RC. After realizing I was awake a third time I put in more notes then really tired to WILD. I laid still for a good half hour before I fell back asleep.

Dream Fragment 4 - Unknown Time
I was playing Terraria with about 3 other people. We had a small, makeshift house that I was trying to search for a Floating Island to the right of. After I gave up, I went to the left to find my teammates, only to discover they dug a humongous hole. I followed the tunnel down for quite awhile before I got into a brightly lit cavern that had a ton of chests in it (NTS: There was a chest 5 times normal size as well). They were all empty of course. I dug to the left of one of the chests near the giant one to find a hidden one in the dirt. Inside was a Red Balloon (Actual item in-game that increases jump height). I was ecstatic and swapped on of my "Angry Blue Pillows" for it (The pillow doesn't exist and the actual item that does what it claimed to do is the Lucky Horseshoe). After that I continue down and left till I finally caught up with my teammates. We were all on the red team so I could see their location. I only remember that their names started with R and P. We dug some water pockets out and continued left for a bit. The dream ends while we are digging.

Interpretation
I've played a ton of Terraria in the last few weeks. It's not surprising I'd dream of it.

This recall triggered after I loaded up Terraria on my laptop around 7AM. I couldn't believe how strong of a memory of that dream came rushing back to me just from loading the game.

Dream Fragment 5 - Unknown Time
Andrew, Tony, and I were in a school of some sort and were headed to the bathroom. The bathroom was giant compared to normal ones, which, isn't uncommon for my dreams. After taking a piss I noticed that everywhere in the bathroom there was pee. It was on everything. Even on some of those cushion booths like you see at restaurants. I wiped up a small corner (not very well) and hide there while waiting on the Janitor. When he finally arrived after the principal went to get him (NTS: it was a female principal), he was really pissed off. He was wearing a blueish-gray jumpsuit with salt and pepper hair, short, glasses, and a goatee.

Interpretation
I guess I had to use the bathroom. The principal was most likely female because all of mine were in school. The janitor most likely looked like he did because whenever someone says janitor, I think of the one from Scrubs.

This recall was triggered after I used the bathroom. Again, dreams work in strange ways.


I finally got up around 6:30AM to post these. I can't believe I remembered 5 dreams in a single night! I'm happy that I'm making progress.

Awake - Dream - Lucid

After spending nearly all day doing nothing but checking the forums, I finally got tired enough to pass out around 10PM.

I'm talking to someone who looks a bit like Bulma's dad from Dragon Ball Z. He is telling me I'm taking way too many pills. Something like I should only be taking a small dose when I was taking 500mg instead. He was showing me the number 500 on the bottle.

I woke up and tossed back and forth quite a few times but never managed to get back to sleep. It's only 2AM now and I'm hoping that REM works in a way that since I was asleep, my next try should be a lot better. I'm still not sure how the REM cycles work.

Interpretation
Obvious one here. I took Cymbalta as a replacement for Zoloft coupled with Ambilify. I was prescribed both but I decided on the latter choice due to the fact that Zoloft wasn't being strong enough to get rid of my anger and that those two make you drowsy. The number 500 came from the Acetaminophen I took yesterday for my hand pain.

Awake - Dream - Lucid

I remember waking up earlier because of the arguing going on in the morning. Something about school but it's not important. I woke up and immediately checked the E3 schedule for when Nintendo's press conference was going to start. I quickly realized I didn't have time to absorb any dreams I might have had and wanted to kick myself. It was way too early for me to be awake to do anything for the day so I tried to go back to sleep. The whole time I was constantly thinking to myself, "I will have a lucid dream, I will do a reality check, I will realize when I'm dreaming" as a mantra as directed in my guides. Actually since I discovered Lucid Dreaming, my thoughts are always on them and making sure to do all my "dream exercises" (aka Reality Checks, Mantras, being stress free, and awareness). I drifted off rather quickly in which I had this dream.

The dream starts around the middle of itself.

I'm doing some kind of internet news show with a very cute brunette, around chest height straight hair, who was wearing a plaid, button up shirt that was baby blue with white and blue jeans and was around 5'8". We both have microphones and are reporting on something that was too hazey for me to actually tell what it was. I have to stop because my pants kept falling down. So I go around a corner of a wall which was white painted brick and shaped like the corner of sqaure with a hallway cutout and part of the wall on the right side removed as an entrance.



I proceed by walking around the corner, desperately holding up my pants to no avail (NTS: I had a ripped pseudo belt that was made out of rubber with the word "MAD" on it). She follows me and asks about something for the show we were doing. I agreed to whatever it was then said,

"Now get out unless you want to see me naked" very jokingly.

She replied with a sexy "Ooo" and didn't leave.

Then I dropped my pants to show my boxers. She then pulled open her shirt open to the right, did a fake gasp, and said

"She went to nipple" (NTS: She didn't have any nipples).

She was about a 32 B cup. She closed her shirt then I ask, "Do you want to". She didn't say no so I lifted her shirt over her head (NTS: Now she actually has nipples) and drop my boxers then grab her waist and pull her close. She stops for a second and asks if we were going to "put this online". I reply with a very sarcastic,

"Oh yea of course. Here watch us have sex".

We kiss for a moment then the dream fades and I wake up.

When I woke up, it had felt like I had almost imagined dreaming it but there are certain things that I knew I would have filled in if that was true. The reason it felt like that is because of how short the time-span in which I was asleep felt. It seriously seemed like I was only out for 10 minutes or less. I think really, I was out for about an hour or less. I made sure to soak up everything I could remember to minor details before activating my brain to full awareness to type out the journal. I wanted to be able to remember as much as possible, down to every detail I could remember. I know this will help with dream recall later on. I typed it out then came back to it a few times early in the day to add some other things I remembered over time.

This is the first dream I've had since starting on my journey to Lucidity. I won't bother going over all the dreams I've had in the past because I want this journal to be full of all dreams I have after starting.

Interpretation
I think what this dream was about my recent thoughts on relationships due to breaking up with my girl. My subconscious must be longing for a deep emotional connection to someone, which is not what I had the in previous relationship. The other part I can decrypt is that the internet news part of the dream must be from my recent focus on streaming live shows of games my brother and I play. Over the past few days, my brother, his best friend (who came over for E3), and I were messing around on Chatroulette a lot. Maybe the combination of being on webcam with random strangers coupled with the fact that we had a few good conversations with some cute girls sprouted this dream.


Quick cliff-notes on my recurring dreams:

• Being at my old School, usually in a classroom, cafeteria, or knowing that I can leave whenever I want.
• Being with my first girlfriend or the girl I had a crush on in school.
• Playing matches of Halo or Call of Duty (I know, it's lame)
