Fragments (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am working on just adding keywords to my journal. My problem here: Three very busy days without writing the dream down, rendering to remember nothing but just fragments from my journal.

- Bob, hotel, fight.
- Cars, freeway, medium.

I'm looking at a man lying on the floor, bound in ropes, while a woman talks to me about him. He doesn't have a shirt and the ropes are cutting into his skin, I can smell blood, though he's otherwise unhurt. I can't see his face. The woman's saying, "We would walk a (something) of this guy. (Something long) lest he move-" I'm thinking that this situation reminds me of something I did under Charlemagne's rule.

FK, catching up with Janette. She's shocked to learn I haven't turned anyone since we separated in 1683 - it's been a century or two since then. She finds it impossible to imagine spending all that time without your own kind.

On the subject of writing, the man I'm speaking with is arguing that using a gateway to hell as a plot device is trite. The gateway to hell should be the book itself, not a device.

Walking aimlessly down the halls of the McKittrick Hotel, I was considering passing the time at Hecate's replica bar - she'll be out for a while yet but it's always possible someone interesting will stop in. But I heard the beautiful sound of a piano coming from the room just beyond the bar's entrance, and followed it, and met a classical composer who I could not convince to give me his name.

I'm trying to hold a conversation with a giant. He's holding an ax, the blade of which is currently buried in the roof of a building, and there are a few terrified people running away - they're being very loud and making it difficult for me to continue our conversation. But the giant's just thanked me for something, and I respond in disbelief, "You thanked a jinxed magician." That's something you shouldn't do, very bad luck.

It was in the middle of the night. The sky was clear but I couldn't see any star. I was standing in front of the campfire. In the background I could see a village with victorian houses. Gothic cathedral was barely visible in the darkness. The campfire gave dim, moody light. I saw random adventurers. Some of them stayed close to the light, but th rest was hidden in the darkness, leaving only black silhouettes in sight. We were sitting there until the morning, then we moved to the forest. We were fighting with groups of small, red demons weilding scimitars and bucklers. There were also some zombies shambling in the distance.

Something to do with me working on a small private space station. A spacecraft arrived with two scientists on board that were eager to return to earth with valuable scientific data and samples from other planets. The president (Yes, Barack Obama) was also on-board.

Ground control told me that I had to make getting the president home my first priority. There were only three seats in the return pod, so I couldn't fit both scientists. I asked if they could just go down the three of them and I could wait in orbit, but they stated that was probably a bad idea because I was the only pilot on the team.

I eventually flew the president and one of scientists down, and when I got on the ground I saw that they were already preparing a return mission for the other scientist. They had this big parade celebrating the presidents successful return from space.

The mayor of our town had to give a speech about me and Obama. Then his head fell off. I caught it. He apologized to everyone present saying that this just happens sometimes (he had some sort of health problem), and politely asked me if I would place it back onto his body. I did and he continued giving this speech. But it was having problems staying attached. He kept having to nudge it with one hand to keep it from falling off again.

I became lucid as I realized how ridiculous of a health problem this was. But I woke up. Goddang layer 1's


I was walking around a large supermarket/store. Wal-mart or Target vibes here. One of the aisles was labeled 'For caveman mode, go here' or something. I recognized 'Caveman Mode' as a lucid dreaming term sometimes used here on the site and became partially lucid but fell out of it before I could grasp that I was dreaming.

Some lady bumped into me, and I started to wake up, but found that I was still clinging to the dream. I was between being in bed and being in the store. I then realized that I was lucid and that I could use this. I began aggressively stabilizing my walking around the store.

I went to the freezer aisle and opened the door. Cold air hit me in the face, grounding me further to the dream. I then walked to the front of the store, walked out the door and formally announced to myself that I was completely in the dream.

Then lucid auto pilot kicked in and I decided to look for Manei. I looked around and saw a brick post out the front of the store.

"Er... okay, let's say that Manei is behind that post."

I walked around to the side and saw a blonde girl. She was topless and looked really confused to be here. She started trying to talk to but nothing was coming out of her mouth. I ignored her and decided that if Manei wasn't going to show up, I should just fly.

I looked up. It was foggy/overcast kind of day, no good for flying unless I could get above the clouds. Some teenager mocked me for staring at the sky like a 'retarded moron', only to eat his words when I lifted into the air on a column of flame.

I started to spin out of control before I could get more than a few stories off the ground. I then looked over and saw Manei. Or part of her, she seemed to be having difficulties anchoring herself to the dream, glitching in and out of existence every few seconds. Her movement seemed to be glitching too, she seemed to acquire random velocity out of nowhere.

At one point she manifested right in front of me and then shot off in front of me tumbling through the air at about a hundred miles per hour. She disappeared in the fog and then shot back and struck me, knocking me off of my flying jets. As I tumbled through the air, I saw a random old lady in the parking lot of the story reach out her arms to catch me. I managed to orient myself and lower myself gently in front of her.

I thanked her for trying to catch me, but told her that I had this handled. I was getting ready to fly off again when I woke up.

Date: 03 Jan

Late bed and ealy wake, no time to wbtb

I find myself in a large room, looks like a mix between a shop and a bar. My awareness gradually goes up and I know I'm dreaming. I recall the task with the crystal ball and head over to the guy behind the counter. There are a few crystal balls that look like empty snow globes, but they are in the distance so I have to walk around a labyrinth of counters. I tell the DC working there to bring me the crystal ball, so that I don't have to maneuver myself all the way there. He is very uncooperative and refuses to do so. By the time I reach the counter those particular crystal balls pop out of existence.

The dream becomes very dynamic, I almost lose all lucidity while some DCs next to me fight over which cakes they want to eat. There are a number of delicious cakes everyone wants to try. I get hold of one very tasty and start eating with my hands. I contemplate on that and my awareness goes up again, after all it's a dream, so I'm free to eat any way I want. I remember the crystall ball task again, this time the (same?) DC leaves a large crystal sphere next to me and I examine it. It's a very beautiful crystal ball with no stand, and little lines and cracks in star-like shapes can be seen inside. I make a mental note about those, then proceed to see the future. I look inside but it doesn't show anything, just becomes a little blurry. I decide to cover it with my hands, concentrate and then reveal it again.

On and beyond the blurry surface, some objects become slightly more visible. I am still unable to fully understand what exactly it is showing but now it's almost as good as becoming part of another scene, while still being here in the bar/shop. Finally, I see a number of objects neatly arranged, like they are put on sale, on a sunny bright day on the street. Pretty much what I make out of the scene is that it shows some kind of a street stand with souvenirs or so. The zooming in almost transports me to the scene, but not quite. I interrupt the action and stop to contemplate on it for a while and review the task.

Frag: Another later part of the dream/other dream where I once again think about completing the task and not doing a wbtb, and about using this techique as a teleport.

Also, looking at my image in a mirror, dream ends soon after.

I was in my home. Brother came back from work in Switzerland, and made a party. We were drinking vodka and wine. Lots of them. There were many bottles spread across the whole house. Piles of bottles, each of them different. We were drinking and talking. When the last bottle was empty, we took a taxi cab to the local shop. They told the driver that we need to buy more vodka. I yelled And what about me!?? Driver replied They haven't forgot about you. and handed me a bottle of wine. We walked down the street from the shop, and went to my house by foot, to drink much more. My abilities to walk and see weren't impaired, but I felt stronger and stronger urge to drink.

*I was completely drunk when I came back from my friends 18th birthday. It was a special occasion, so I broke my rules to never drink too much. That's the effect.*

Dream 1: Nightmare in Nature

I'm trying to live in the wild, apparently following some instructions downloaded from the Internet. A friend of mine (a guy) is also trying to do the same, and a common friend (a girl) is there with us too. But we are not together, we are like in the same region, but everyone is alone. She seems to have some problems with her orientation and she usually gets in troubles during the night. I'm confident with myself, but when the night comes, without light, I find myself in the middle of Nature, being stalked by the wild. I don't know where my home is.

Dream 2: Back to school

I'm at a school with a friend. We are going back to class, but we're late. My friend asks me something about some other thing that just happened. It seems I'm developing a videogame in my free time, but it's taking me a long time to properly advance. My friend asks me something like "So you're developing a videogame", insinuating that I haven't told him anything. I answer that I'm developing a videogame, but I'm doing it so slowly it could take me years to finish. He replies, laughing, that it could take me the time I would spend enrolling at Uni again and finishing Computer Science [This is my degree IWL]. I reply, laughing, that "yes, I could finish again Computer Science if I could get a grant for going back to Uni". For a moment, I think it wouldn't be a bad idea to try.
We get into the building. As it's late, everybody is in their respective classes already, and we're running through the hallways. I pass by one of the classrooms where I know the teacher, whose name is "Mario" [I know nobody like him IWL]. Everytime I pass by, we use to talk a bit. He likes to run and, as per one of her students says, he's run like 5 laps this last time [This seems to be a great achievement]. Mario and I talk about something related to the weather and he makes some reference to using a sleeveless shirt.
We finally get into our classroom, where the teacher is already doing some Math exercises. I really like this class and the type of exercise we're doing. It's like solving equations. I'm glad to see that, besides the exercise the teacher is explaining, there are 2 more equations to solve by ourselves. We enter the classroom and sit behind another student. It's a very small classroom where there could be 8-10 students maximum.

Dream 3: Unfinished bureaucracy (what a name! xD)

I'm in the offices of some public administration. I'm sit in a table with my computer, filling up a form I need to submit. Next to me there's a fax-phone, that looks just like a normal telephone but with a small tray in the bottom. This phone is inside a brown envelope. Suddenly, the fax starts working and tries to get the paper just below, but it gets stuck on the phone and it stops working. A woman approaches. She was the one that activated the fax and now it's trying to unblock the tray. She removes the paper and tries to put it in again but from outside the envelope (so it can't reach the phone). I tell her what she's doing wrong, she realizes and then she tries to put the paper from inside the envelope. And now it works!
I continue filling up the form while I'm connected to the Internet with a cable branched on my network card.
My turn is up and I can go talking to an agent that will process my form. I go to his desktop. He's a young guy, maybe from India. He's searching my computer in some sort of software he has but he can't find it. "Of course", I say, realizing my mistake, "I connected it to the Internet, but not the network". So I tell him the IP of my computer and he performs the connection. He finds the form he needs and starts working on it.
Suddenly, the turn is over and it's time to go home as the administration is going to close. But... he hasn't finished working on my form, which means I have to come back another day! I get annoyed, because it bothers me to come to this administration. Angry, I walk through the office, with my uncompleted form in my hands, looking for a boss or something. But everyone is leaving, drawing a time-for-freedom smile on their faces, so I'm soon alone in the office.
After a moment, another man arrives. He's short and he seems happy. It seems he's the boss of the new team who's just arriving to work in the building. It's just another team from another company who will be taking the offices for the rest of the day I guess.

I was following my brother then did a RC realized i was in a dream. So i went into a different room but got stuck in a restroom with no door then i tried to go down the toilet to go to a waterpark but failed. After that i had a false awakening but somehow i knew i was still in a dream, did a RC knowing it would fail. I don't remember what happened after that.

Plantation in the garden

I went out of my home to the nearby fields. It was cloudy, dark afternoon. With my parents we made a plantation of exotic plants. There were six furrows surrounded by ditches with water. We had many random plants, like coffe, tea or oranges growing there. The most memorable were small trees that gave red-brown, big fruits similar to peaches. It was time to harvest the hard earned fruit. I was watching the workers so they could not take anything. Then I talked with my father to ask about the soil preparation method for the more requiring plants. He told me that remains of what was harvested must be burned on the fields, and that we lost a few workers to this technique, as in some places the fire was still raging under the shell made of ash. This created some kind of land mines, burning anything that would walk on them and break the shell composed of ash.

Drinking some wine

I was sitting in my kitchen. I took the bottle of wine, and I poured some of alcohol into the glass. Before I could drink it, the dream ended.

*Unintentionally incubated this non-lucid when I was thinking that it would be good to make ToTM with chugging whole bottle of wine, right before falling asleep.*

Troubles with energy

I saw some kind of a map. There were roads and icons representing lightnings moving on them. They all ended up in one place, leading to troubles with energy in the local area.

I am walking to the bathroom at a football game on some large event and I run into Sydney Files. She asks me about how my school is going and about whether or not I joined SCMA. I tell her that I did but she questions about whether I have been active or not. I fell her that I have gotten everything that I need from the club and have gone to the meet and greets and the career fair.

Dream 1: Searching for the song
I'm in a shop inside a mall. I'm looking for something, I think it is a song, among several albums of an artist.

Dream 2: Annoyances and opportunities
I'm in my house, near the island coast. Something happened and I'm angry with a guy. He has betrayed me or something like that. That guy is now in the kitchen of my house with my mother. They are cleaning I think. My sister and another person are packing things and putting them in their car. I'm supposed to leave with them when they'll finish. I'm busy playing or reading something.
It's time to leave and I go to the kitchen to say goodbye. The guy I'm angry at looks at me and says that he might have a job offer for me as a consultant, and asks me if I want the job. I don't know what to say, I feel anger towards him, but this is an opportunity that might come handy in the future so I tell him, without being grateful, to call me several months later. He asks me how many months and I tell him like 1 or 2 months later. Then both of them start to laugh as making fun of me, and I sense it is because I'm angry at him and I just showed interest in his opportunity. I leave the house humiliated.
When I go out, it seems that I took to long to say goodbye and my sister and the other person already left. I'm walking up the sidewalk trying to call them on the phone. No answer.

Note: This is the second dream my mother appears as some sort of evil DC who humiliates me in front of others. I feel the need to say that, even though I consider her being kind of "special" towards other people (like wanting everything to look perfect), she has never showed me up or anything! She loves me and I love her.

I'm with my mother in some kind of town's square. There's some kind of town's party going on those days, although there is nobody in the square at the moment. It seems to be the morning after a party. There are several stands throughout the square, with different colours (red, blue, ...) We want to do something with them (I think we want to move them), but we don't agree to how to do it.

Two stand owners arrive to the square and my mum asks them something obvious disguised in the form of a question that would settle our argument (something like "Isn't it true that we have to move them in a way that they occupy the least possible space"?). They answer a "logical" Yes and my mother leaves. I get angry and I realize the trick she's used, so I start to argue saying that she can't ask something which answer is "Yes" and leave like she is right in the previous argument. I wake up.

I'm entering a shop that belongs to a Chinese old man, to spend the night. He has invited me to take out a tooth that's moving (a canine, I think) and to spend the night there. When I'm entering, the tooth drops out by itself. When looking at it, I can see it in the floor, a bit brown-greyish, it seems rotten or something like that.

It's been a while since I last posted any dreams and I regret that because I have been slowly losing recall and now only have fragments when I sleep now. I guess that is the consequence of stopping my dream journal out of nowhere. But I've decided to come back to it again with a new motivation and hopefully more maturity about that whole thing. I got slightly annoyed when I had one lucid dream and then nothing. But I realise now there is nothing I can do about that and hopefully I will persist more this time. Anyway, onto the dream!

Non-Lucid
Questioning
Lucid

I was on a pier with a couple of DC's and was looking over the side. The water was light blue in colour and I could see down to the sand below me. I was told by one of the DC's that there would be a party going on in one of the houses. I seemed like a really rich area as I could see some very swanky looking houses a couple of blocks away from the ocean itself. I started to follow the DC's up some small wodden stairs, blinked, and was instantly at the party. I saw J in the main dining room and went over to her, we chatted for a bit until a couple of my other friends showed up and took me a secluded room in the house. The only furniture it had was a dark wooden bed with blue covers, white pillows and an armrest. On the armrest were two phones, I assumed one was mine and one was J's (even though we dont have phones that look like that at all.) I grabbed J's phone for some reason and went on google, I could read the text wonderfully and I started to wonder what she would say if she saw me on her phone without permission. She then promptly walked through the door and started to yell at me before I woke up.

My first dream I've recorded of the year, not the greatest but it was a nice view at the very start. I'm hopefully gonna stick with it and have some more lucids as I keep going. The concept of this still really interests me as I watched a documentary saying we spend roughly 20 years asleep. Why not spend those 20 years having fun.

- Have my 2nd Lucid Dream.
- Have a conversation with a DC.
- Fly while Lucid.

Not many goals this time round. Those are the three that came to mind, I'll try to add more when I think of something that I fancy doing.

I recall being in school. I was wearing a black suit. It was the day of the great contest, which I was preparing for since weeks. I was ready, but then teacher told me that I'm going to write it in the evening, and I had to tidy the classroom first. I helped other students, and the went to the bathroom. I opened the door, and saw room devoid of anything. Just tiled walls, with tiled floor. It was old and dirty. Everyone inside was pissing on the walls. Disgusted I left the building, went out of school and went to my home. It was evening when I finally got to it. I went to the bathroom, and luckily it was regular bathroom this time. I leaved it immediately, and went outside, to my parents. I told them that I need to go. They told me that I've dirt on my trousers. I cleaned it up a bit, and entered the car.
