dream fragment

I should've posted this about five days ago, cause now I forgot most of it. :/

There was more prior to these events, but I forgot them. :/ But I'm currently getting in the getaway vehicle after a a Shootout. My friends Joey and Justin are loading into the car, Joey getting behind the wheel. I jump in the car(I forget which seat) and Joey drives away. I remember all of us are wearing Kevlar vests and weapons strapped to us. Joey starts the car and begins to drive away in a hurry. As we go up a hill Joey makes a sharp turn. Now for some reason physics says I'll do whatever the fuck I want, and sends us backwards over the side of the hill. I notice another cliff about two hundred meters away as we fall. I look down and see the car plummeting to the war hundreds of meters down. We all scream, when I suddenly become lucid! I now open my door and jump out of the car.
"Guys! Just fly!" I shout to Joey and Justin. I now realize how dumb I'm being, and fly down to the falling car. The two jump out as the car hits the water and they submerge. I dive deep down and chase after them. I grab both of them and fly them up to the cliff I noticed earlier. i don't remember anything much afterwards.

I really need to fix my sleeping schedule(again), being really bad at managing time doesn't helps with that.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in some park.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing Spiral Knights but the game was somewhat different, there was some really mazey level with spikes and there was some other person with me in same team that actually knew the level to an extent. We still ended up wandering around though, through some electrical place and some natural looking area.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing some multiplayer game about dragons and was discussing it with someone from dragon forums. We ended up talking about unique player character abilities and some different ways they got unlocked, some unlocked them from the very start, some had to do something specific, some just got them with time and practice. Then we continued discussing specific abilities.

This morning, after coming back from a concert, I had a quite curious non-lucid dream.

Thing is, I went to bed at 4.30 am, more or less. I fell asleep and awoke at about 8 am, recalling very little of a dream I'd just had. I thought it was way too early and I still had time to have more dreams and pay attention to remember them. Then, I fell asleep again.

I "woke" a while afterwards. I was on my bed wearing my pyjamas (the same I was actually wearing). I had a look at my watch, it was 10.30 am. "Fair enough", I thought, "but I can still try to sleep more" (Side note: I always have trouble sleeping when I go to bed so late, I keep waking up many times). I looked around me and saw a couple of the friends who I had spent the night with, standing by my bed. One of them had a device which, he told me, was used to monitor the dreams to be able to retain more detail. I only needed to put two suction pads on my chest and just sleep. I thought it was a bit strange, but I followed his instructions.

It was then when I finally woke up. The first image my eyes caught was almost the same as the one I had when the dream started, apart from the fact that my friends weren't there. Again, I looked at my watch and was startled to realise it was 10.29 am. I did a RC to make sure it wasn't another false awakening, but this time I really was awake.

Date: 11 Aug

Pre bed: 100mg B6

Total sleep time: 6 1/2 hrs?

Natural wakes: many, got up on 5 to pee, drink water, take notes. Also lots of micro-awakenings where it took me some time to fall asleep. Noises from neighbors and early morning arrangements of others woke me up too.

Dream quality and recall: Very vivid dreams, some stability issues. Recall was challenging, forgot two lds, but then I recalled them, pffuuu. One suspicious also.

Early dream (+2 hrs after bed): I had the impression there might have been something lucid here, but sleep was so deep, I have no idea, it was quite vivid though.

Dream: some kind of tower, bf, something forbidden? (why didn't I write a whole sentence?)

Dream: this was a crazy dream, not very pleasant but interesting. The part I remember involved me getting to a window, where some kind of deadly poisonous gas is working. I am unprepared (compared to others) to deal with this gas and do some maneuvers to avoid it, while it's coming straight at me. I think I am trying to open the window as well. I notice that small wounds begin to appear on my hands from the gas. For once, they almost look ok, not too bad, but I am naturally worried about them. At the same time, I am fascinated that I feel no pain despite my exposure to the gas. (That was pretty close!)

DILD1: I go out in some kind of yard and want to sit on the stone wall. There are two teenagers there that plan to make out, so I move not to interrupt them and go sit on another fence. Soon they go back to the entrance and I hear an electricity shock. I think that a bad guy has done something to them and is now coming in the yard, so I look for a place to hide. I evaluate a few hideouts but decide I will be discovered so better leave now. The main idea is to get as far away as possible, while still able to observe the guy.

As I make my way through yard after yard, I get this familiar feeling. I have been running like this in a lot of my dreams. Semi-lucid, I continue on my way, climbing fences, going far enough. Then I finally reach a block, which I start to climb as if it is a tree. No matter where I step or reach there is always something to hold on to, like a balcony, the window etc. I finally reach the top of the building, which is like 5-6 floors and sit there to contemplate. It is not very easy to keep balance as I am holding on to some unstable part of the building. At this point, I also reach a much better clarity of mind. I look around and see all kinds of junk around me. I either become worried about stability and the dream becomes unstable or the other way around. I wait and things improve somewhat and I get the weird idea that I will turn this building top into the top of Angel Falls then jump, but I feel the need to have something stable below me to start with. It's a bit like I am sitting on a wobbly chair on top of pile of crap right now.

I look to my left and see that a beautiful river is flowing through the nearby part of neighborhood. There is also a small waterfall in the middle of it, too small, but inspiring enough. I want to go down there, I have no idea how and where I but get and reach to this branch and once again use the tree branch swinging method of moving. I swing forward and land exactly where I wanted to - down where the river is. I start thinking about turning this into Angel Falls. The river starts to change and at some point I find myself right in the middle of it, observing how the now dark water flows down a slope. There are dark rocks as well, and the current is way too fast, so I feel kind of uncomfortable being in the water. Somehow though I am dry and not moving with the current? This is not quite like what it is supposed to be and I concentrate on the landscape to cut off the water and make it flow into an abyss just ahead of me. Despite my efforts the river changes just a bit. I get it, it is just not working right now and I also become tired so give up. The thought quickly flashes that I might try to turn the end of the river flow into a beach, but now lack the mood for that. I begin reviewing other tasks I have memorized but the the dream ends just as I go through them.

I am now in my bed and a bit pissed off that the dream didn't just continue into another scene, and I have so much awareness of my body. I nevertheless remain still, nervously waiting until something like a proper DEILD happens.

DILD2: The beginning of this is very vague. I think I just appeared somewhere and held on to this DC for stabilization. The next thing I know, the dream is much more stable and I am walking down the street with the male DC to my left, holding his hand in a friendly way (I think this is the stabilization residual). I am quite happy and for some reason conclude this is Xanous. I can't remember much of this part of the dream, just that we walk down the street of a European looking town, talking about something. OB is also involved either in my thoughts or mentioned in the conversation.

We are facing a closed metal gate plus fence and the male DC turns to the left to go the part where there is no fence at all. I then tell him, why don't we just phase through the fence, this is a dream after all. So, we go back and walk straight through the fence. I easily pass as if there is nothing there at all, but the DC has a bit of difficulty going through, he emerges but it looks like it has caused him some discomfort. I feel guilty for making him do this and begin apologizing. He doesn't look much like Xanous at this point - brown hair and wider face, but it's him in my mind. He seems quite independent for a DC, but that may be just me. We then continue our walk through the city.

At some point, I feel the dream is beginning to destabilize, but I don't want to share it with Xanous as not to mess his stability or something like that. I just walk further forward, rubbing my hands and hop walking for a while. The dream stabilizes and I am really happy about it. He is to my left again, this time with copper hair and tall. I start talking and notice how clear my voice sounds. But even as I talk, I almost immediately forget everything I say. The only thing I remember is "do you think this will work out" and point at me and him? Then I feel embarrassed this might be understood the wrong way and add "I mean this shared dreaming thing". I finally remember that I was supposed to do a gesture and share the passcode but before I could do anything the dream ends.

Micro-ld: I am back in a town of my past, in the place I used to live. Bf is also there. The thought that I am not supposed to be there anymore crosses my mind, but I come up with the explanation that I am now just visiting the town? I look around in the room and conclude that everything looks like it is real life and not like in dreams where there are all kinds of objects that don't really belong to this room, even though it really doesn't. I see that the windows are very dirty and this makes me think that the neighbors have been throwing drinks from McDonalds at the windows. Soon I see the neighbors throwing drinks. I want to threaten them with the police, but fear revenge, so decide just to call the cops to get them. I also complain to bf about it.

It looks like we are leaving the place next day (Sunday) and I need to take some stuff. I can't remember much detail here, but I look around the place, and there are neatly arranged flowers in the yards nearby, which look similar to dreams about the place I had and not real life.

Then I am in the city center, maybe doing last min shopping, I have no idea. On one of the familiar streets, I look inside a strangely shaped car and see a guy with semi-finished and a purple? demonic face. He gives me an evil look and I become lucid and begin to sway the car back and forth, my intention is to lift it and move it, which I do. I make it turn over and leave it like that for a moment, thinking about some more mischief. In the meantime it changes color and shape. I have the strong desire to try to lift the car as high as possible and then send it flying in the air like a balloon. I concentrate on it and lift it quite high but there is some resistance, I send thoughts that all of the people on the street are also doing this task which makes it easier. I am holding the car in the air for quite a while, until it becomes harder, but I still keep my gaze on it. It has become a round large piece of smashed black metal that is dissolving /dematerializing in the air. Witnessing the dissolution of the object is very interesting, it happens gradually and the object loses its physical properties, becoming more of an energy and I also see aura-like glow around the edges - green and red. The dream ends.

I wake up, think briefly about the ld and then fall asleep which makes me forget it. Noises, distractions and final sleep attempts.

Micro-ld: I can't remember the beginning of the dream/let. There is a very interesting sun clock in the sand of some sort of a pot in the park. I am playing with the sand, thinking about lucidity and stabilization? Then I continue walking down the lane when a DC guy looks me with some sort of irritation and I become lucid. I realize that I am finally in the dream as if just entered a dreamlet and feel very floating/unstable. For some reason, I keep repeating my DSs as a mantra and also grab the guy's T-shirt and move along with him, but he wants to move on his own so he is staring at me annoyed. I let him go and see my mom ahead of me, carrying flashlight which is on and the light looks more like the ray of sun shining on all the dust in the park. Very cool effect. The dream falls apart and I wake up.

Comments: I am happy on this occasion there wasn't too much B6 related agression with the exception of a few bad looks from DCs which helped me achieve lucidity.

Dream recall from today's nap.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was at home and was talking to someone and he was saying something about that i should not think about something to have more chances for it to show up.

Dream 2(fragment):

Was some discussion in dragon forum chat.

Dream 3(fragment):

I am in my room i realize that i am dreaming but then i wake up, twice.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was searching some anime on some site and came across some warhammer 40k themed anime and then there was some other anime which for some reason was using very retro 3D graphics.

Dream 5(fragments):

I was at home and there was some talk about rain and that i apparently can predict future or something like that, then a red dragon appeared and started flying in the direction of my house, then some dude appeared and knocked him out somewhere out of view range, i got worried and shouted at that dude angrily and was about to go out and check, but then i noticed small cyan dragon in the distance, it was flying to here as well and then stopped at certain distance. Suddenly some anime characters appeared and there was discussion about something, then i noticed that that small dragon was already here, but strangely now his head was somewhat cat-like and he had fur.
Then some cutscene started showing completely different place, some dark forest and background voice explaining that many creatures that people think don't exists actually do exists, then cutscene zoomed in to some kind of base where a few huge and strong grey skinned humanoid creatures were walking around.

1. [non-lucid]
I'm in a classroom trying to access the internet but I'm unable to connect so the teacher (standing next to a smart board at the front of the class) gives me Kye's personal laptop to use instead, I just remember looking at the stuff he has on his laptop and just having a mess around.
Kye enters the room and walks over to me (I just stare at the laptop screen as I knew what was coming), he gets very angry and shouts at the teacher then storms out of the room.

2.

Fragments:
Some sort of racing game with a semi-destructible environment.
The cars got bigger for some reason.
Outdoor seating area I keep driving into smashing it to pieces.

IRL I'm going to China this semester so in the dream I finally went to China. I've been told as a black guy with dreads that I'll stick out like a sore thumb so I was walking around and was mystified that no one was staring or anything. It was like I was a part of the environment and nothing was strange at all. I entered this one building which I felt was some sort of student center that I was supposed to go to. Entering it, I walked into this sort of main room that was reminiscent of a small lecture hall that looked like it was made in the 80s by the looks of the furniture. The cool thing about it was that, the levels of seating sank into the floor instead of the floor rising to create the amphitheater look. But instead of lectures, this room was more just a gathering spot and place to chill. Everyone was just talking to the people around them.

I was sorta shocked to see a girl from my high school and one of the chefs from my college just hanging out and talking to each other. The girl was talking about how she didn't ave much money left til we went to the next city where somehow we were going to get jobs or something. The chef just said that h was going to hang in the background like he usually did and lack of money didn't bother him because he always was able to find a way to support himself in China(apparently he was some sort of Admin on these trips).

Very fragmented recall of a lengthy dream.

There was some story about some factions that were fighting over territory, for survival. There were some discussions going on at various points, there were some bases, fortresses, ruins and some tall building with an elevator. Then some factions were sending spies to mess up things for other factions. And there also was some other faction that was actually trying to prevent battles. And then there was something going on in some snowy city ruins. Then some prince arrived and was talking to somebody.
Later story continued about a group of anthro drakes, who were talking at the edge of some forest about evolution, their leader went to search for something and found a rainbow pool that gave some superior abilities, which included ability to shapeshift. He shapeshifted into one of magical beings that were near the pool and talked them into helping his group.

Date: 11.08.13
Type: Non-Lucid
Sleep: 2:30-11:30

Dream one was something to do with being late for school then I bought an ice cream which said it was £41 but it was actually 41p or something. I met my brother at the top of the hill entrance to my old school and then we couldn't go in because of the ice cream and we were already late so I had to eat the ice cream really fast then I woke up.

Woke up at 6:30 or something I can't remember but it was 6 something then attempted DEILD but I realised it's too early so tried a WILD but failed because the room was too light. I put a shirt over my eyes to block the light and fell asleep

2nd dream was that I was in a hotel or something and drawing with black marker pen on a drawing pad. I made a brilliant car illustration with the black markers and showed it to dad. Then someone from another place seemed to portal or teleport to where I was and a glue stick with a drawing on appeared on my book. It was a young boy about my age or a bit older who teleported. He asked for the car drawing and in return about 6 giant boxes of sweets that looked like pixels. I accepted the offer then he said its actually £1 for a sweet!! So I said no way and went back to my hotel room. I remember another boy portalling to me and his mum wanted us to go out with each other. He was alright but I wouldn't go out with him. His mum seemed to be obsessed with me!!? I was friends with him though. I gave him a crunchy granola bar and he loved it.
I can't really remember what happened next but I think I went to a restaurant with my dad.
Next I remember being in my hotel room and putting on the dinosaur shirt I'm wearing today. It was my last day at the hotel and I put a crunchy granola bar in a sock then something else in another sock as gifts to the boy then locked it up and hid the key in some stairs made of rock.
He found the key and when he touched it it started flying and spinning then snapped in half and the chest magically unlocked LOL. The boy liked his gift and then it was time to go. I was going to hug him but then he turned into my friend James so I thought it was weird and just left. Can't remember what happened next, I think that was the end then I woke up.

Dream recall from today's nap. Starting to try out some random idea to fix up my dream control issues and change dream world overall by adding rules.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing Spiral Knights game.

Dream 2(fragments):

Some talk on skype.

Dream 3:

I wake up in my bed and i am very dizzy, i get up but can barely stand, i notice that some objects missing but it kinda fades out.
I wake up again and still dreaming, i try to get up but some force stops me and holds me in air, i have some really weird sensations and then dream fades out.

I was in a military office complex. I was a spy who had entered there to steal some of their secrets.

The problem is, getting out seemed to be harder then getting in...

I was hiding in a office with big windows to the corridor, and when I peered though them I could see guards patrolling there. There was some kind of voice trying to give me successions on how to sneak past them. I tried but somehow I alerted the guards. But that proved to be a good thing, since they entered the office I was hiding in one by one, meaning I could shoot them as soon as they entered. This is a tactic I have used in many computer games :p At one point they were standing in line, kind of waiting to enter and be shot.

With all the guards dead I was free to just walk out of there.

It all felt like a computer game to be honest...

I was driving down a dirt road in a forest. It was a very old forest, with very thick vegetation.

I was not just driving any car: I was driving a old three wheeled racing car. It was red and shiny, I had taken real good care of it.

As I was driving I saw a woman walking along the road. I thought "who the hell walks here in the middle of nowhere..." But then I realised it was no ordinary woman, it was the queen herself! I was really confused at that point of why she was in the forest, but I stopped and talked to her.

I don't remember the exact conversation, but she was very interested in my car. She was apparently a car collector herself and owned a car just like mine. I think we agreed to race each other later.

After that I went to a house that I apparently had bought from the queen (I suppose during that conversation?) and made myself comfortable. It was already furnished so I could move in right away. It was really big, felt like a small mansion. I only got to see the living room and kitchen before I woke up, but at least they were really big. After a while some of my friends came visiting.

I don't have many dreams to write down, unfortunately. Also, I've only ever had one *lucid* dream, and that was over half a year ago when I started this venture the first time (before I gave up, which I regret doing immensely, I might add--so if you are thinking of giving up, DON'T DO IT!). So, here is a list of the dreams I've been having (that I can remember, anyway) the past week. Also included is my very first ever and thus far only ever lucid dream--just thought I'd share that one too. Do keep in mind that one is NOT a recent dream


Oh, and I didn't start keeping track of dates right away, so a couple of my entries are undated.


NIGHT 1
Entry 1:

Something to do with plants. (Yes, that's all I could remember, never did get the rest of it).


NIGHT 2
Entry 1

GHOST HUNTING

I am investigating someone's house as a paranormal investigator. I try to record EVPs, take pictures, and otherwise try to communicate with the spirits haunting the house. One of my tasks is to determine for the family if the entity(s) are evil or not. The odd thing is, I have no equipment with me. I also begin to have visions of some of the past events that have occurred in this house. I see a little boy terrified and attacked by demons. I have another vision of other people suffering different fates caused by the paranormal activity--I just cannot remember what exactly happened. Now I find a room with several markings on the floor. From visions that I am getting, I know they are tattoos that can protect people from the demons haunting the place. it is also important to note that these markings are scrawled in blood, as though whoever put them here did so in a hurry, perhaps in their own blood while they were dying.

Now, I am in a ship. (looking back, this *may* have been a separate dream, I'm not sure). Is it me personally or a vision? I just can't remember. I do know it is sinking. Me and a few other people that I've never met are trying desperately to stay alive as we get nearer and nearer to the icy waters. In fact, the waters are so icy that something strange happens. Rescuers who attempt to help us make contact with the water, and they literally freeze solid in their wetsuits--they can't get out of them and they too end up frozen. I also, through another vision, intuitively know that another rescuer was shattered during this freezing process--but one person did survive. How, I do not know or remember.


NIGHT 3

Entry 1

The Bodyguard

I am a bodyguard or servant of some kind. Interestingly enough, I am also not human. I am an Orc straight out of a Tolkien novel. as a devoted servant/bodyguard to my master, I am trying to protect him from other orc's that are trying to kill him. As we run through a grassy field, I take out several of our attackers with my heavy crossbow. We are flee to a building that oddly resembled a modern-day apartment. We run through the building, me taking the time to shoot a few crossbow bolts every so often, while dashing up stairs. Unfortunately for us, we only get so high up and then there are no more stairs, even though the building is much taller. There IS however, a ladder through the window leading higher up. I fire my crossbow through the window, hitting more orcs scrambling towards us below. My master climbs the ladder up, but before I get a chance to follow, I'm ambushed. I am forced to surrender my weapon--the details are fuzzy to me, and I don't remember how this happened. The enemy orcs try to force me to climb the ladder and bring my master too them--but he decides to come to them on their own. Now something VERY strange occurs. My master knows the leader of the orcs that are attacking us, and they ta;l for awhile. The enemy leader eventually decides to stop attacking us, and my master tells me not to kill any more of them either. I agree...for now. I then wake up.


August 6, 5:30 AM

Entry 1

Plant Frenzy
I am raising plants--just like in Plant Tycoon except IRL. I'm growing these plants with orange tubular flowers. For some reason, I am not satisfied with them. I hate them, am disappointing, but I don't remember why. Why am I growing them? What am I so desperately searching for? A Magic plant like in the Plant Tycoon game? I can't be certain, but I suspect as much. My alarm wakes me up.

Entry 2

Rolo's Rage

I am at home. THe pl;ace, however, isn't my REAL home. I don't quite remember what is different, outside the layout of the house, but I do know it's MUCH different. I'm playing some sort of video game, though when I walk away from it, I cannot remember what I was playing. My parents are going out--as they leave, I point to a pair of fish flopping on the floor.

"What about them, they need to be put back in their tanks," I say to my mother.

"Oh, they'll be fine, I'll put them back in the water when I get back." She tells me.

The other fish float through the air, so no need for water for them. My parents leave and I decide to play with our pet hamster, Rolo--which is just fine untill she suddenly bites me. The thing is, her jaws change shape, growing much longer and elongating, and she is biting down, grinding my finger with her jaws. She refuses to let go, and the pain is excruciating. The only way I get her off me is with the aid of a strange man that appears out of nowhere. He uses the cover of his Bible to put it between my finger and Rolo's teeth, and that finally makes her release me.

My parents return some time later--by then the two fish from earlier are dead. I tell them about Rolo's attack, and then the dream ends.


Wed, Aug. 7

Entry 1

Did I dream of rain? I am in my house, it is cloudy and rainy outside...dream is so fuzzy I don't remember anything else.


That's it for my recent dreams. This last dream, as I said before, was from months and months ago, when I first started getting into Lucid Dreaming. Had I not given up at the time, I probably would be pretty good at LDing by now. Never again will I give it up


Date Unknown, first ever lucid dream

I have a false awakening. I am in my bed, I open my eyes. As is my new habit, I perform a reality check on my hands--my fingers slip through the side of my hand! Then, rather stupidly as if that wasn't enough proof, I slide my hands through the wall at the head of my bead. I jump up--"I'm dreaming", I tell myself! Having had several non-lucid false awakenings, I force myself to calm down, relax. I don't want to ruin my first ever lucid dream. I want to change the scenery, to be in a forest. Everything is surprisingly vivid. Excited, though thankfully not to the point of waking up, I thing "I want to be in a forest now!" And the ground starts to shake. Right before my eyes, my house collapses around me, vanishing quite literally into the ground. I am now in a grassy field. Suddenly, ground still shaking, hundreds of trees just spring into place, as if they were lying in the ground already, and "popped up" like a target at a gun range. They're not quite what I expected though--they aren't full pine trees, but small thin scraggly looking things--like the trees in the film Mortal Kombat, in the scene with Scorpion vs. Johnny Cage.

Right around there somewhere, I lose awareness, and I don't remember any more of the dream--I wake up in the morning.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some 2D shooter game.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was searching for something in some lab.

Dream 3(fragments):

Something about a city and dragons.

Dream recall from today's naps. Had some problem of not being able to fall asleep, but still got a bunch of dreams.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing AI War and i was capturing some planet that was very far away from homeworld, there were some advanced structures. I started getting some turrets up because there apparently were asteroids randomly traveling around. Then i looked at nearest AI controlled system and game switched to view of some city, where there were some kind of tesla sniper turrets on the rooftops. Then there was some loud noise and dream faded out.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some game with SilentEternity, that looked like very indev version of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Alot of places were empty and we were just exploring areas. Interestingly the running speed was very slow, but sprint was ultraquick, though lasted only a couple of seconds. UI was really simple, like was made in an half of hour or something. We were discussing game while going north and fighting some bandits on the way.

Dream 3(fragments):

There was something going on and then dream kinda started falling apart, then red dragon flied from the right of my view and the rest of the dream became static background, he stopped in the center of the view, and looked at me and then i've had some weird thought about some names, shortly dream faded out.

Dream 4(fragments):

There was some discussion on dragon forums.
