dream fragment

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.

(Part 2/2)

0833 - I find myself in my bedroom and I might be lucid from the start, but I do the nose plug RC anyway and it works. I go try to stabilize the dream by rubbing my hands and looking around and saying "Stability now." After it seems like it's more stable, I say something related to glasses, "Clarity now" or "Clear vision" and the dream becomes less blurry. I head toward the glass doors of the balcony and think "step through glass" but I can't, so I back up and try again. The balcony vanishes at some point, and I eventually get through the glass. The outside of the house, which either is one of those white and gold stone mansions or a brick red one (or just a very big house) is clear, but the surroundings are very weird looking. Some part of the house or the surroundings look like they're wobbly sketches and/or drawings, and the sky is gray/blue and featureless. I fly around and try to change the surroundings. As I swoop down towards some structures on the ground, I think of trying the November TOTM but I end up circling back to the room where I started.

Then the dream yanks me in another direction, and I can't control it. Eventually it turns into a dream where I was (or was watching) a guy in an RPG like game. There was a minimap on the screen (wherever that screen was; it popped up randomly as I wandered around) depicting where I was. The guy did something in the room, and then went to this graveyard place where he stood in front of a grave and talked. The screen was narrating his actions at the point, like "A went to the graveyard. He was blah blah blah..." (That wasn't what it said, but I don't remember what it did say) On the arch over the entrance to the graveyard, there were emails and links, etc that I briefly wondered about and thought about googling (though I can't because I don't remember them). I also copied the words in the narration, thinking that I could put them in my dream journal, but then I realized that the laptop wouldn't have the data when I woke up. The guy left the graveyard after a while, and the scene changed.

(I think I lost lucidity here, but it was hard to tell since all I was doing was observing) The guy woke up surrounded by people who knew that he was having a dream. I got the sense that they were from a forum. He talked about it and answered questions from the people, one of whom had a recorder with them. When the guy found out that, he was thankful and replied that he never remembered what he said on the spur of the moment. The dream he had was apparently about his pony/dog and how it was hurt. He remembered someone doing horrible things to ponies or dogs (e.g. beating them up) a long time ago. One of the people asked him if his grandma was the culprit in the dream, and the guy said that she couldn't be, because there were two old cars in the driveway (he mentioned their brand names), one of which was his/his grandma's while the other must have been the culprit's. Sometime after all of this I woke up.

Dream fragment: Earlier, I had a dream involving a forum with a colorful website. The forum may or may not have had anything to do with lucid dreaming.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

Some kind of discussion in chat.

Dream 2(fragments):

I am at home and i am watching some video from the couch. It is about some kind of danmakufu montage with player dodging some ridiculous patterns, for music it used some russian song. As i look away for a second, table with a monitor teleports closer, i do again and it does teleports again, so i am dreaming for sure, i get up and bed changes position as well then dream suddenly fades.

Dream 3(fragments):

There was some mage that could control people's memories, he meets a giant and they talk, then mage focuses his power and smacks giant on the head with his staff, making him remember something.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some kind of survival game and our team was searching for someone, we have found a semi-ruined building where that someone should be but then figured out that he appears only during winter.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing multiplayer FPS that was mi of UT2004, TF2 and some other games. It was ridiculously glitchy and some players were using them alot, one of glitches involved temporarily turning played into ragdoll which some used as feign death.

Dream 3:

I was playing creeper world 3 and it was small level. I've started in south, and base got surrounded by suddenly appeared enemy missile launchers and like four of delayed emitters, i had to act very precisely and quickly to build nodes and nullifiers to destroy them before they could cause any trouble, there were also strange yellow flowers on the ground in a few places that blocked everything. There was small castle to the north which was filled with enemy structures and i've started assaulting it with my units.

Dream 4(fragments):

SilentEternity was streaming Fire Emblem and i was watching, for some reason graphics were very vandal hearts 2-like.

Dream 5(fragments):

I was assaulting some train together with a few anime characters, we were navigating through wagons and some of them were on fire, some characters got very confused then we have reached the front of the train but it started slowing down and then randomly fell to the side. We have continued on the ground, following another train.

(Part 1/2)

0500 - Some other friends and I are riding trains through three countries. The last country is Italy, and one of the others may have been France. It was probably a weekend, because as we were traveling, T mentioned how I wasn't going to be able to finish my homework. I thought of Mr H and how I didn't have him anymore for history. The thought of homework filled me with that "ugh" feeling, though, so I stopped thinking about it.

In the second country or so, I was on the platform with several other friends. We were trying to get on the train, but we were on different platforms. I leaped from one to the middle platform and thought how much easier it was now that I was older and bigger/taller. But then I tried to leap to the last platform and fell/got hit by a train. It seemed like I "respawned" in the same area, at pretty much the same time. We eventually succeeded in hopping around and getting on the train.

After the second station/country, before me and T got to Italy, a taxi came and most of the group left in it, leaving me and T behind because we couldn't fit. I motioned with the thumb-and-pinky finger gesture (the one that means "call me") that they should give me a phone number so we could stay in contact, but they didn't understand me and just left. Me and T ended up taking another train to Italy, because we didn't know where they were going.

The trains are occasionally filled with homeless and smelly people lying down on the seats covered with blueish blankets. In one of the trains in Italy - a sleek and gray thing, sort of similar to NYC's trains - there were several cars just filled with the homeless. We wandered around two of these cars before leaving (I apparently was expecting one of the homeless people to tell me if the seats across from him were dirty. Nearby was a guy dressed in a suit) and finding out that the train was part of the 'ghost network' (as labeled on a map nearby on the platform), which meant the trains were made of souls/ghosts coalescing into a semi solid material (how I knew that, I have no idea).

The alternative, which was for normal humans, was near the front of the platform, and looked like it was underneath a guillotine/chopper like object, which were horizontal supports on the ceiling. The train itself was not a train, but several metal platforms chained together into a line, with little to no handholds/barriers. We didn't want to get on, because it seemed highly suspicious and would probably end up killing the passengers, but we had to move for some reason. I led the way, jumping past the train and onto the beams near the top of the entrance, past which were stone stairs leading down to a wide space (a station-like area?). We jumped to the rafters or the stone/metal supports that made up the top of the hall - for a moment it felt like I was going to fall or crash into the supports painfully - jumping and running and jumping. I was continually casting powerups, etc. One point, T nearly slipped and fell, but I grabbed her by the leg and hauled her back up.

We took off our shoes and continued running along just in socks. On the wall there were screens showing facebook-like posts and comments, one of which involved doing badly on tests and LH. Next to my replies, it showed what I really typed then erased and sent. That part involved some text like "CLACK CLACK CLACK CLACK S H E", the clacks standing for backspace, with your original message without edits underneath. It also said "you're seeing this because you typed this."

Near this part, T and I backed up against a wall/slanted support so that T was bracing against the support and I was somehow pushing off of her. (I think my position looked like the one you use in swimming when you're pushing off the wall.) I had wings, so after I pushed off, I swooped around with my wings some more, until they timed out and I started dropping. I'm not sure what I did when that started happening, but I woke up afterwards.

So the dream started off normal and very ordinary. I was originally at what seemed to be a lecture hall of sorts filled with about fifty people or so. I was here with one of my convention friends, he and I simply sitting there chatting about non-important things.

Suddenly the situation begins to escalate quickly. Another girl that I vaguely knew suddenly came into the room and grabbed the hand of my friend, quickly muttering something about "needing to get out now." Not explaining anything to me, she and the other occupants of the room began exiting in a chaos almost, leaving me as the last to exit.

When I left the room the environment was absolutely different from what I expected. It suddenly appeared as a very old country town, with the majority of the homes being made of logs and old, antique wood. The first person I came across had a very demonic aura to her, and was not a face that I could fathom or recognize. Coming quickly up to me she tried grabbing at me with clawed fingers but I ran away screaming from her.

As it turns out, there was a group of these evil beings that seemed out to kill me. No matter how hard I kept hiding in different spots they kept showing up to claw at me and trying to murder me. Eventually I hid under a sort of gap between a porch and the ground, thinking I was safe. I hid here for an excruciatingly long time before another of those faces appeared before me. Realizing where I was the other creature/humanoids began circling the awning, keeping me trapped underneath. It seemed like what appeared to be a bulldozer of some sorts came up, crashing into the house and destroying the foundations. As the house started falling down upon me, I woke up from the dream.

Something to do with me meeting a wealthy, kind man who owned a sort of resort in the desert. It was this kind of oasis that had a pool and a greenhouse. There were some large plateau/mountains outside of the resort. I don't know of any other dream characters save for the man who introduced me to the place.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was browsing DA and viewing dragon images, then there was some discussion about flying and somebody posted that he "Accidentally nom'd instructions".

Something is going on at home and then i go to bed, but while standing(?) on bed i realize that i am dreaming, and also notice that bed is in wrong place. I leap towards window nearby but dream instantly fades.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was watching some video which was showing some game ab out gangsters and noticed that really unfitting for video touhou music is playing for some reason: Voyage 1970.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was going around some streets and i've had some kind of power.

Dream 2(fragments):

There were three cybord dudes infiltrating some building and at one point one of them started remembering the past where they were kids, still with semi-mech bodies and were playing around with them, then they went to some train station.

Dream 3(fragments):

There was some ancient city, covered in gold and some researcher arrived to find something of importance. There was a bit party that kinda distracted him as he was trying to decipher symbols on walls and then he was talking to mayor. Then something gone wrong with symbols and massive army of enemies attacked the city and started destroying everything. There was also ASCII Dwarf fortress-like view of the battle, the researcher tried to stealth out of battle but got caught, he then used some kind of time travel to return to before city got attacked. He started with symbols again and found some fake ones.

(I am unsure how the dream started, so I will start from where I do remember.)

I'm walking down a road with a woman under my left arm (which I felt like was my wife/gf in the dream). We were going to a restaurant but I forget which one. As we continued on, we passed an Olive Garden and I asked the woman if she would rather eat there instead of where we were initially headed. She answered rather indifferently so I decided to go inside. Immediately after entering the Olive Garden, I realized I was dreaming and decided this was the best place to do some experiments involving my 5 senses.

First, I started touching my surroundings, however my sense of touch was much less sensitive than it usually is.
Then I started testing my sense of hearing by simply listening to the hustle-and-bustle of the restaurant, which I could hear faintly.
Satisfied, I started testing my sense of taste. This was difficult at first as I had nothing to eat, so I approached one of the tables and saw a woman eating chips and salsa. I reached over and took some (the woman gave me a look of approval, as if it was okay for me to take some). I believe I could taste the chips/salsa, however it was too faint to make a definitive answer.
Unfortunately that was all the testing I could get in before my dream ended, but I do plan to continue my tests in future lucid dreams. Hopefully dreams that are more vivid as well .

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. Apparently i keep having dreams about competition, haha.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some warcraft 3 level and i was controlling three heroes, one warrior one mage and one ogre.

Then discovered some kind of explosive switch which exploded something in the distance.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was playing hearthstone and was lacking taunt cards.

I apparently always go lucid when Im driving.

Anyways I dont remember much at all about my dreams last night except when I went lucid. I was driving my car and I just knew it was a dream, I didn't do a reality check or anything I just realized I was dreaming. I rubbed my hands together so I wouldnt wake up and I tried driving around for a bit but it didn't last long and I woke up. Thats pretty much all I remember

I only have this one other fragment of playing this game where I had to pour this liquid in little grooves on a board. I let it drip and the girl next to me told me I lost cause if it drips then you lose.

We were at grandma's house. My older son had not read all the library books at her house yet. We packed a few chosen ones but then I had to order them so we could return them before flying back to our home.
