dream fragment

Fragment: Me and someone else were standing on someone's lawn when we saw a firetruck pull up into their driveway. Meanwhile the woman who was the owner of the house hurried over there. We thought that we better move lest someone become suspicious what we were doing there and whether we started the fire. What were we doing there? Rationalized that must have had precognition of fire, but figured no one would believe that.

Fragment: My mom and I were staying at Polish friends of my mothers. While there the phone rang, and I picked up. I was asked whether I knew the owners and I said I had met the woman but not the man yet, and then I explained they were friends of my mothers, and the person on the other side of the phone figured out who I must be. Btw, I was a teenaged version of me in this dream. My father burst into the house upset that we were in town and not staying with him. He insisted we pack up our stuff and come with him. I was surprised he included my mother in that given that they were divorced.

Fragment: I was in a public bathroom - I think with my mother and I caused a flood. The thing that was flooding was much smaller than a toilet and it was in front of the sink but it was not the sink.

Fragment: In this dream I was staying at my father's house which was nothing like his real house, it was much bigger and older and in ill repair and it was a mess. There were a whole bunch of desks blocking my way to the closet. I needed to get through and my dad needed to help me with that. I then pulled an electrical plug, and we became aware that this had caused a loud crackling noise to stop whereas we had not noticed the noise before. When I briefly turned it back on, we discovered that whatever it was was also causing sparks (which we had not noticed before either) which were damaging the ceiling. My father became worried about the resale value if the home. He wanted to know whether the document about the condition of this home when he bought it was vague enough so he could claim this was a preexisting condition. We tried to examine the damage, but it was in such heavy shadow that we could not really see the ceiling. My father wondered whether this could be used to his advantage to pretend that he did not know about the damage and maybe noone would notice.

Fragment: some weird connection between life and forum, not sure but it may have been that if one did not want animal eaten should have posted to different subforum?

Last night I visited one of my dream places. I have many places that I tend to visit frequently in my dreams. Last night the place I visited was the small home business of the male veterinarian and his wife. This is the second time I have visited this place so it has officially become a dream place because I know I will visit it again in the future.

The dream was I was at a home (I say at A home because I was in a place where in my dream I lived but the place doesn't exist) my family lived their also, the person I remember mainly is my mom. I can't remember in detail what was happening before the main event of the dream happened, but the main event started out by me seeing my cat with its front leg broken in half. I was saddened by this but I went on with my life. It wasn't until a few days later (which passes by very fast in my dreams) when I saw my cat living its normal life with its broken leg that my heart strings finally tore. Seeing my cat has to use the broken end of its leg to walk on just to be able to get around made me panic and I started to look through a number book for a number to a vet. I called and the receptionist answered and told me to hold. She never returned and I hung up and called again. The continued to put me on hold until eventually when the phone was answered there was nobody on the other end. I kept calling a few more times until I remembered that the reason why they wouldn't take my call was because the vet I was calling and I were at very bad odds. That's when I remembered the other vet. I remembered him and I knew he was from another dream so I looked for his number and couldn't find it. So I got set out to go to his house, and after what seemed like a very long time of traveling along cliff side paths and treacherous obstacles I finally reached his house. I went in and found that he had aged decades and he was telling little kids stories that I can't recall. After a while he noticed me and I told him about my cat. He just kept smiling at me until I freaked out and asked "Is it possible to fix my cat, or not??" He just chuckled and said he could do it. He left the room and I stared at his wife until he returned. When he did return he was back to his original age, which is about 35 or so. I then realized I would need to go back and get my cat so I watched him walk around his house until I got woken up.

I slept 9 hours that dreaming session from 9 am to 6pm. I know other things happened during that dream, and I have flashes of memory of the events, but nothing discernible. The thing about the dream was I knew that I had seen this place before in another dream and that I was dreaming, at the end I was about to make my cat magically appear beside me using lucid dreaming so I wouldn't have to go back through all that, but I got woken up before I was able to.

So I'm doing the wake up every 90 minutes thing to catch myself dreaming, so I can write down dreams in this dream journal, and therefore I can improve recall. Except THIS time, when I woke up, my tired mind tricked me into believing it could remember what it was dreaming WITHOUT writing the dang dream down. So, when the alarm went off, what did I do? I moronically believed my tired brain in my hazy state, and rolled right over, going to sleep.

So, here's what little I remember, thanks to my rebellious little brain telling me I could rely on it for it's superb (riiiight) memory.

All I remember is that I was in a deeply wooded forest. It was pretty dark in there too. Was it a scary forest? A happy forest? A forest with little polar bears sipping root beers while balancing on rubber balls? I wouldn't know because I stupidly did not write down my dream! when I woke up. So anyone reading this, don't repeat my mistake


8:00 am

Got in an argument with dad about something. It felt really important to me inthe dream, but I cannot remember just why we were arguing. I do remember he'd said something realllllly offensive to me, but I just don't remember what it wass; only that it made me very, very upset. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some video game about dragons.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was doing dream guide things on dreamviews, but it was more of an actual place, it looked like some kind of an office and there were some papers i had to go through apparently. Then there was different section of it that looked like some kind of lab. Then i was discussing something about dreamviews with somebody and the things to do.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was in some video game, and in it some events were happening near school from my past, there were some battles and i was closing to the end of the game. I could control some combat vehicle remotely and also had some other abilities, then later there was also an automated fuel storage vehicle that could fuel the vehicle i controlled. I had to talk to a few characters including some old lady and then went to pre-final mission, which switched to completely different game style of tactical turn based RPG where i controlled a group of characters fighting a group of elite enemy characters, some characters on both sides were wearing black colored armor. At the end of the fight, massive amount of weak enemies spawned, which looked some kind of humanoid mutants and overran the place and i used powerful spell or ability that set the place ablaze and covered our retreat.
Then i was back near the school and i was going to check some stuff and prepare for a fight with final boss, which was some kind of huge mecha thing.

I was trying to lucid dream, but for some reason I couldn't quite relax enough that night. I went to sleep and had this weird dream instead.

The first thing I remember is being in an old house with yellow bricks. It had lots of old junk inside the place. I was in the house with my younger cousin and we found a sign that read 'Possessed objects' So, I guess all the objects were in some way evil. So we wanted to burn the house down to kill all the objects.

On a shelf we found two plastic looking dragon's. One was red and one was blue. Apparently we needed both of them to start a fire, so we took the dragons and set the house on fire. (They were kinda like hoses that spat fire XD)

But as we were setting the house on fire, I noticed that my other cousin was in the house! I ran inside and quickly grabbed her. Then we continued to light the house on fire. But for some strange reason the fire faded away. We went back inside the house and found the same dragons again ( don't know we lost them) I noticed that the blue dragon had blood around it's neck.

Then we burnt the house AGAIN and my cousin turned to me and said " I promise US will be good"

And then I woke up thinking ' what? that doesn't even make any sense. I promise US?'

Hey this dream was literally so short I'm not even going to type in color codes but I can remember being with some friends and becoming lucid while with them. I believe I began to fly around a bit too. But sadly I can't remember much after that.

Dream Fragment: I'm sitting at the family computer watching videos online while eating potato chips. Someone comes into the room and I pretend to be asleep.

Second Dream: I'm in my kitchen, wearing a pair of black 70s-style headphones. They seem to function like a ham radio, because someone appears to be talking to me through them. The person starts singing a song (the lyrics of which I can't remember), and I can literally see everything they're singing about.

First post in quite a while. Not gonna be as detailed as my previous DJ's, as I can't exactly remember everything, but I recall there being some sort of metal as fuck banjo being played. There was also hiking. I became lucid around the time I realized I wasn't wearing clothes for that whole time. Just sort of like "Oh, look. No pants. I'm dreaming. Cool." and I just kind of chilled after that. It was p cool.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing Doom and roaming through some huge map. It was some kind of complex with outdoor areas at west and indoor areas at east, and also some ventilation system passages. It was pretty mazey and used alot of grey/white textures in places, but also brown ones in other places and green in outdoor area. There were some new enemies and something about player character was dragon-related(can't recall exactly what though).I realized that it's dream while viewing automap briefly and tried to memorize it. Then i lost lucidity.

Dream 2(fragments):

I've had chain of false awakenings during which i either was trying to deal with mosquito or was talking to someone about PC hardware. Then there's another false awakening, and this time some nice voice is asking something, i try to respond and eventually get up i feel that i am dreaming and i feel... quite more aware of surroundings than usually, there's some female DC, we talk about something for a bit and i end up following her and losing lucidity, there are three more DCs, i become aware of dreaming again while going downstairs but then talk continues and i lose lucidity again, i look around and think about reality checking, but end up talking with DCs again. They say that we are going to certain place and i didn't liked it so i went back.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some video games.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was creating dragon character for some forum game and then was updating some of my RtD forum games, while discussing something with someone on some forums and playing some minecraft custom level.

Though I remember almost nothing, I will still post the one sentence description that I **can** remember. Maybe my brain will take the hint and decide to cooperate with this dream recall thing if I keep bugging it

August 13, 2013, 8:00 am

All I remember is my dream had something to do with walking in a blizzard of some sort.


Another dream fragment from earlier: Something to do with the hamster Rolo again. I don't THINK it bit me like in the last dream I had about her, but I'm certain she was present in the dream--I just can't remember it, darnit!

3 dreams and one fragment. The first is about a getaway from a threatening situation or people, the 2nd one is the fragment, it is about motocross in a forest. There is much more to it, but I can't recall more details. The 3rd entry is a pleasant dream about flirting with a married woman (I forgive myself, she is beautiful). The 4th is about coming home:

• I am together with my brother. We run away from something or someone, it is a threatening situation and I run for my life, I am very fearful. We are in the ground floor of a building with narrow corridors and white walls. I have the impression that my brother is not really aware of the danger of the situation, so I yell at him to convince him to move faster and to follow me.
  
  We come to an elevator, 2 or 3 people are waiting for it and I decide to move upstairs as well, as it seems to be the only way to go. But there is no time to wait I think, so I chose a narrow circular stair to the right of the elevator and run upwards, while again reminding my brother that we have no time to rest, or 'they/it' may get us.
  
  I tell him 'don't worry about grandmother, she will be alright as she has always been. She has lived most of her days happily, just leave her behind and let her go'. As I say that I feel that I myself also have trouble leaving her behind and letting her go, but I force myself to do that and to continue running, so that I am a good example for my brother to follow.
  
  On the second floor we climb out of the window and slide down a slanted roof. I think it's fun to slide down here, but then the fear of the people/thing following us takes over again. We land in the garden of the house, where I find an air pump. I pick it up, just in case I could use it as a weapon. We encounter a gardener, who is raking leaves. He says something, but I don't trust him, he might be part of the complot (after all, I didn't even know exactly what we were running away from). I consider piking up a rake lying next to me and just beat the gardener to the ground, but then I decide it's best to just leave. We walk out of the garden and the fear wears off.
  
  I don't know what I was afraid of and running away from. But I was scared, that is for sure. I don't know what the passage with our grandmother means. I rarely experience fear in dreams, but I appreciate it afterwards, when I do, because it makes the dream very vivid and detailed, as the fear forces me to be completely in the moment or situation.
  
  
• I am riding a motocross bike on small forest paths. There is dense vegetation and small hills. The bike is light, but strong, so that it easily rides on almost any terrain. I ride in a group with some other people, I have a lot of fun.
  
  I find myself on a broad road between some fields, riding the bike. I have lost the group, which makes me sad and I try to find them again. I ask some hikers to help me, they direct me to a small house in the forest and they claim that this is a sort of meeting point for hikers and bikers. So I go there and I am happy to meet 2 people from the group to rejoin. We go into the small house to rest a bit and maybe to find some others.
  
  I know there is more content in this dream, but this fragment is all I can recall. The forest paths were beautiful and the bikes were really cool, I had a lot of fun.
  
  
• I have a conversation with a beautiful, young, blond woman. We are on a small hill under some big and wide trees, the scenery is very calm and relaxing. We are with some people we both know, but I only talk to her.
  
  We are in a bus, I sit in the back end of the bus at the left window, the blond woman is in the seat in front of me, but she has turned around to talk to me. She has a cute face and short blond curls, I think I am in love with her. But somehow I also know that she is married, so I am not sure how to behave. I decide to ignore the beautiful landscape outside the window and to look beyond my morals and doubts straight into her eyes. As I force myself to do that, I find that it is not at all uncomfortable, but rather it is the most natural and pleasant thing to just rest my eyes in hers. Suddenly my fears of being hurt and my doubts about the moral situation seem ridiculous and I give her my undivided attention. Wow she is beautiful, I think, while she talks (I'm not really listening ).
  
  I want everything about her, now, there is no doubt. I sense that she feels the same way, but that we both are unsure how to express that. We walk along the ocean between a forest to the right and a beach to the left. She takes my hand and we just walk, saying nothing. I think, wow, I almost forgot how good this feels!
  
  I had several dreams about cute, blond women recently, but I don't know how to relate that to my waking life or why or where it comes from. I guess I have just been single for a while and maybe I am just ready for someone new? In any case it was a nice experience, I am certainly open for more dreams with her
  
  
• I am in a residential area and I walk on small paths between tall houses. A boy, who looks Korean/Chinese, walks past me. He makes some clicking noises behind me and as I turn around, he suddenly has a bike and he rides away. I wonder where the hell did he pull that bike out? But then I just move on. I decide to turn around and go to my mothers place.
  
  The apartment door of my mothers place looks a lot like the door of my room I think, as I stand in front of it. There is light and noises coming from the workroom, so I figure that my stepfather is at home. There is no door handle, though. So I investigate the door further and I find out that it is opened by a little light switch. I am now inside the apartment in the hallway, but all doors are closed. I know that everyone is at home, because I can somehow sense their presence, but I don't want to draw attention to myself yet, so I go into the kitchen. There are 3 burned pizzas in the oven and the oven door is open. I sit down and enjoy the calmness, peace and idyll of the situation. Smells and feels like being home and everything is alright as it is.
  
  The bike coming out of nothing should have made me more curious or even lucid, because I noticed it in great details and even wondered about it. But somehow I just went on with my walk. The apartment is not the real one, but purely dream fiction. It was a pleasant dream nevertheless, it had the comforting feeling of being home.

Lately I've been having a lot of confusing dreams. They usually go like this: The dream starts and I find myself somewhere, often in my bed. Eventually I realize something's off and do a reality check. Seconds after I realize it's a dream, the dream puts me back in my bed and wakes me up - into a new dream. This cycle tends to go on 6 or more times, to the point where when I eventually wake up, I'm confused as hell and it takes me a minute to make sure I'm not still dreaming.

Key:
Lucid Dream
Waken Up
Non-lucid Dream

I did a WBTB and partly a MILD for this. I also went to sleep upstate in an RV.

I woke up in my bed at home. I did a reality check by putting my hand up to the window to observe my hands. There wasn't enough light to see, so I tried to do something, and I ended up having my vision zoom in. I saw I was in a dream. Though I never stabilized the dream, and I wasn't very aware, it lasted for a pretty good amount of time. After realizing I was dreaming, I levitated out of bed and tried to fly out the window. For some reason, I couldn't get through. I had to really concentrate to make it through. Even then, I ended up teleporting to some warehouse. I found myself running to get to a portal at the other end of the warehouse. I was also shooting at people with a "hand" gun, and they were dying. :/ When I went through the portal, I got to my backyard on the other side of the window, right in front of the deck. I started petting my dog Ti, who was right next to me. At that point the dream faded, and I woke up in my bed at home again. I thought I was actually awake now, and thus didn't do a reality check. I actually think I went through a few false awakenings like that, before waking up for real.

I had a lucid dream! ...sorta.

I was doing what I usually do in my dreams (trying to run away from evil people) when I decided that flying would definitely help me get away from them. Then it clicked. "...I CAN FLY! I'M DREAMING!" so I started floating and then I thought "I'M GOING TO FLY FOR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE NOW!"

I was still floating, but going higher and higher. I looked ahead and it was sort of a desert and I was looking right between two mountains (desert mountains). I was going to fly around them when I thought "wait, I had things to do" and I remembered my list of goals. Number one there is find my dream guide. So I decided to close my eyes and when I opened them I expected to see someone in front of me (I was actually expecting my dream guide to be myself), but... nothing. I shouted "DREAM GUIDE!!!" a couple times, still nothing. I landed (as I was calling my dream guide, I thought it'd be easier if I were on the ground) and I lost lucidity.

So basically, fail at controlling the dream (and it wasn't vivid at all... in fact, I barely remember the rest of the dream - before or after this moment of lucidity), but I was still lucid! Getting there!!!
