Fragment of Dreams
Repeatedly seeking a restroom - this should have been my cue to get lucid, dream sign! But non lucid I staid. At one point in this dream I cause an alarm to go off as I enter a private suite, but I reassure the person there that it's alright - I know the owner. Sometime in this dream I also have my pants down outside the restroom and someone sees me.
Dream 1(fragments): There was some hybrid of forum game and video game, at least at first, i and some other dragons were protecting some city from massive amount of enemies. Then later, it fully went story mode and i was in game itself, we were infiltrating in some techno base together with some female hacker, who was helping us dealing with security systems. Then after that back at town i was talking to some soldiers and enemies returned and i had to protect some little girl. Dream 2(fragment): I was on some kind of space ship/station. Dream 3(fragments): I was playing some AoE/AoM based RTS, except with different units that looked like some kind of aliens. I was playing 1v1 vs AI on very small non-symmetrical map, and while playing i was also chatting with SilentEternity. He was talking about that this game has some really overpowered worker units and messed up trading system. The map had mostly mountains and related resources on south-east, along with my base and forests on north-west along with enemy base. On trading system, it was giving bonuses when two town centers were linked, but there was no limit, nor difference on distance other than they had to be near different resources. And the bonus trading gave was rather huge. As for workers, small squad of them could deal with armies of normal units apparently... Dream 4(fragments): Snowy city at night, searching something, some rather interesting story(which i sadly can't recall).
I was at school. I think it was the last day. I had apparently just turned 18. I was packing up my stuff when my friend walks up to me and says, "Let me sign your yearbook." When I said no, he replied, "Well, what about...?" I knew he was talking about my crush, so I told him, "No, she's not going to sign it." As I was about to go to the back of room, pornstar Marie McCray (who apparently goes to our school?) walks up to me and asks for help on her French homework. I don't take French (our school doesn't even offer it), so I replied, "Yo hablo inglés y español." Then, a girl from my old school (I'm not sure if she was supposed to be herself or Shakira) came up to me and we greeted each other. We started joking around and I grabbed an old letter apparently written to me from Shakira. She invited me out somewhere, so I grabbed some alcohol and put it in my bag. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. The school apparently has alcohol and lets underage people take it. I also saw another old teacher of mine. It took me a minute to guess his name correctly. I felt a sort of vibe of popularity and felt famous (probably because I knew a pornstar and a singer). If dreams tell the future, I have a much better social life when I'm 18. I think a small part of me knew it was a dream. I tried going back to the dream, but couldn't fall back to sleep.
I was inside the closet I used to hide in when I was very young. There are clothing all around me. The details are lost, but I recall how people couldn't find me in there.
Dream recall from today's naps Dream 1(fragments): I was typing up some DJ entries and then was discussing spirituality stuff with someone, then i started watching some let's plays and one was apparently let's play of old Spyro 2 game, except intro scene went kinda different and there was different draconic character instead of Spyro and some other new characters, they talked about learning how to use different forms of something. Then i was back at my room, i was about to realize the dream but it faded out and i wake up. I keep eyes closed and try to DEILD. Dream 2: I am suddenly in the forest, there's a huge tree, i think something about future i realized that i am dreaming and i have incredible temptation to make huge tree fall down(dunno why), and i literally will it to fall down, and as it does, ground shakes a bit. Dream 3(fragments): I was at home and i couldn't fall asleep for nap and i try to find something to do, suddenly Oreo comes in and we have some talk(that i can't recall much), then he leaves and H. apparently comes in and annoys me with some talk about glasses and leaves as well, and then comes back, talks about it again and leaves again. I stay confused for a few seconds.
1. Preparing for myth exam, not too confident. Went to the exam room, people (mob) grabbing the textbook. Girl asks me if she should take this old hardcover, I told her it was the wrong edition, but looks good. They started handing marks out. Next exam, suited up, looked good. Walked around campus- water fountain. 2. Genetics exam, went to check time, registrar's website, but can't find it (Searched for a very long time -20 mins according to dream clock) . Can't see very well either, vision gets all blurry- like without glasses. Went to exam anyway. 3. Playing quake 3 with people. Had to find something, a VERY large map. Went deeper. Ashlyn was in a tiny corridor, defending something. Killed her, killed other two people with her. Got the plasma gun. Got the thing. Filled all the ammo up and headed back to the starting point and won the game.
Arrgh. I had some dreams I could remember well as I woke up. But mysteriously, my memory vanished the time I got up and came back from the bathroom. I just recall 3 things: 1. I wrote a test to become a baker (what the hell), but I had to answer some questions about french literature (again what the hell?). Naturally I couldn't answer the questions and left without giving the test back. 2. I'm waiting in front of a train crossing, which stands in middle of my street (where there is none) 3. Something about Ninjas. But I can't recall more
So..... I didn't log last night. My past couple of logs have also not been very vivid. So, tonight, i'm going to focus and meditate a little before bed. This should sort of remind myself to wake up after a rem cycle is complete and log instead of being lazy. Anyway, what i remember: Defending dagger: It's night, i'm outside on my farm. Me and a friend are vampires and as a result, my family is planning to kill us, or at least i think that was the plot. So i'm outside with a knife, my family members are running at me and i'm slicing them one by one to wound them enough to stop them. I then wound a little girl pretty badly ( i didn't know i had a little sister in my dream world :3 ). because i hurt her, i can't help but break down and cry. Then the plot slowly turns to me watching a movie part by part which is being projected onto the lawn. -fragment: I was talking with a girl i know about a written drivers test and she said it had like 2000 questions and i was a bit shocked.
Dream 1(fragment): There was something about dragons. Dream 2(fragments): Was playing some game and at some point was placing alot of explosives in a bunker and then exploding it. Dream 3(fragments): I was watching something about minecraft and then some Yogscast video. Lewis was building some kind of structure out of blue and red grating blocks and then later Simon arrived, twice, and both of them started helping, one of them had slightly different voice. Then there was some talk about some missile launch center. Dream 4(fragments): I was watching some series that looked like some series that i've seen in the past, people were arriving at home and welcoming back each other and there was something about some having different personality or something.
Date: 5th Aug Total sleep time: 7 hrs< Pre bed: Calcium&Magn, 100mg B6 Natural wakes: 6x, vivid dreams after each, lazy to record, also mislaid notebook Early dream(+3 hrs?): a memory of a lucid, where I didn't do anything in particular? We were gathered on street around a fountain/pillar? Dream: An emotional personal dream with a rather unpleasant outcome. Sadness and anger. Dream: Sitting on the table of a local cafe. My high school classmates smoke cigarette after cigarette. I am thinking about that, blowing out clean air in front of me. Dream: A bit like a FA, or was it a dream, this was more hearing the dream than seeing it. Mom is talking with dad that she regrets not noticing the details of her dream, because this is the third time she actually has a lucid. LD: After trying to fall asleep for a while after the natural wake, I catch myself in the midst of a dreamlet. I see my bf already in the dream on the street, but I am still there more of a side spectator than an in-dream presence. My bf starts doing repetitive movements with his hands as if he is entering the dream as well. I concentrate and soon my hands and body appear in the dream. I have a little trouble moving, feel my body slightly paralyzed, but am relaxed about it and just wait. Bf gives me a hand and pulls me closer, which helps me become more solid. He is very friendly and nicer than most of his DC appearances and I wonder whether this could be a shared dream. I walk on the street for a bit, but things destabilize, then the dream is possibly back again. Memory gap? I have no idea what happened but now am on the roof floor of a building with lots of kids around. I think I lost my lucidity or am quite distracted at this point. The kids are playing with two balloons, one red and one blue, and I am getting closer to the edge of the building as they almost throw one of the balloons too far. I have worries about falling down. Then I go over one of the kids and tell her to turn off/change the music. Here I regain my lucidity as I try to go down while I get a strange fear of heights. I conclude that when people feel this fear they enter a similar to the dream state while awake. Some sort of exaggerated anxiety mood. I am now one floor below, with my bf and a number of DCs next to me. I decide to ask my bf about the meaning of life. Again, he looks more like himself here. At first he answers something about "going forward", which I very much like. I tell him to repeat it again but instead he says "I like going back and forward" and then blurts out "Money". This disappoints me a bit. I want to get more and better answers so ask another DC. This guy looks falsely familiar and initially gives me the impression I might have encountered a real dreamer as he begins to ponder the question. But then he just keeps repeating "mmm" and "mmmhum" and doesn't say anything. I am annoyed and feel the dream is slipping away as I have been waiting too long. The dream stops but instead of going through the void, I lose consciousness. It takes maybe about 10 seconds and I am back in the dream. I was in some sort of a corridor before and now I go into the next room where there are a lot of DCs from my class. I want to ask once again, so I organize those DCs which are now around 20 to gather in front of me as if I am about to take a picture of them. I then make an intro and ask them what the meaning of life is. Lots of my classmates raise hands and I select K. who is smiling to answer. She starts a long speech about happiness. She doesn't say anything exciting, just tells me about her life. I have no more interest in getting the question answered. I then address the whole class and ask them if they know what a lucid dream is and if they have had one. A few try to say something, but it is really hard to concentrate as there are too many DCs in the room. I tell them that this is a lucid dream, but then begin to worry that I might actually be having a shared dream with someone and they might think I am crazy. I leave them to talk with one another. I lose consciousness again, the dream is back in a few seconds. (no void) I am trying to think of more tasks when I see this pretty Asian girl maybe around 20 years old. I start having distracting side thoughts and want to get close to her but she looks scared and tries to run away. I relax a bit and so does she. She lies on my lap as I marvel her beautiful hair and caress her. When she stands up, I notice she is wearing a knee-length dress. I know it is a bad idea to do it temptation-wise, but I just can't resist and start licking her leg. (Yes, I have a problem!) I notice how super real her leg looks, feels and tastes (a bit salty). I am still considering whether I should fully indulge or try to remember and do other tasks, when the dream suddenly ends. I stay still, but am too wakeful to DEILD or fall asleep. Comments: I did some quick reading related to neurotransmitters and noticed that B6 plays a role in the synthesis of five: serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and GABA. So, after the intake of B6 it is likely that my levels of these increase.The usual effects for me are earlier onset of memorable dreams (today first wake was at plus 3hrs), emotionally loaded dream contents (often aggressive DCs, sometimes me running away, i.e. fight or flight response, also some sexy moments), reduced sleepiness/increased alertness. After thinking about the effects, it looks like one neurotransmitter receives a significant boost and influences the overall mood of the dream - dopamine. I feel that this information finally coming to my attention is important as it increases my understanding of dream intensity and may help me eventually achieve better control during lds.

It was a normal DILD. However I just re-read Naiya's MILD Guide before going to sleep. So I repeated some mantras, done some visualization, etc. Not sure if it had something to do with it. I'm not really sure how to describe it. It's a visual thing. It's a really vivid dream. I was on the bottom of what it seemed like a giant table. Two guys (video game characters) are flying around fighting around the table legs. I'm ascending. Not sure if floating/flying or just climbing. When I reach on top of the table I suddenly realize I'm dreaming. Don't know how. I just knew. I didn't even made a RC. I feel this huuuuuge rush of adrenaline. My heart is racing. The scene changes and I'm on the ground on an old railway. I remembered the few things I've learned about dream stabilization and I stopped to look down at my hands. I stood still for a while just looking at my hands. Then I rubbed my hands. When I was calmer I stopped and looked around. It was beautiful. it was an old railway full of trees that led to an awesome beach. It seems that I'm seeing a blue ray movie. It's so vivid. I try to fly. I jump and fly a bit but then I'm being slowly pulled to the ground. I can jump and fly for a bit but I'm always pulled again. I do this for a while. It's still awesome. I'm walking to the beach. There's an old abandoned car. I make both doors open and close. Then shoot a dim light beam out of my right hand. I'm so proud. Things are getting a bit blurry now. I remember a girl on the beach. Boobs. Kissing.. Only fragments from now on. The scene changes again and I'm in a weird place. It seems some kind of underworld market. There's a lot of people. I'm not alone. I'm not sure if Brad Pitt (yep Brad Pitt) is walking with me. I remember blowing a Dream Characters head off with some kind of dark side energy force Don't really remember why. He's a bartender. I'm trying to convince a girl to have sex with me. She almost does. I'm not sure I have much control at this point. I have the feeling I'm barely aware I'm dreaming. Woke up. I have the feeling that this is a very long dream. But it was early in the night. I normally use a phone app to record notes but I didn't want to wake up my girlfriend. So I just stood there trying to go through the dream over and over trying to recall everything. Big mistake. Oh and the Brad Pitt Thing.. I'm pretty sure it was because a Podcast I'm listening (Being Lucid) where this guy turned himself into Brad Pitt in order to get laid in his dream Anyway... this is an awesome day for me. Happy happy happy!!

So I dreamed that humans were being oppressed by giant... Somethings... Not sure what they looked like, because they wouldn't allow us to look at them. They ordered us to do meager tasks, and people with the skills to do better tasks would do them, and get better treatment. I showed them I could use some kinds of weapons, so they taught me how to fly, and made me a warrior. The dragon from the neverending story (giant flying longcat, but its a dog) came and started rampaging so they ordered me to kill it. Some guy came with a bow and started shooting it like crazy, so the dragon turned him into a baby? I told the dragon that his parents were killed by "one of you." he went over to confort the baby who was next to his dad (dafuq)
Dream 1(fragments): I was playing some game, which was third person game where i controlled some character which had some special powers. There was one stealth level where i had to get through some kind of train station, mostly grey-ish colors. There was weird security system which i couldn't figure out, i failed and had to escape some guards in blue uniform. Then i used some ability to jump of the top of big building and then had to find way to some kind of lab through site. Dream 2(fragments): I was making and testing some mission in a game where i had to control some vehicles and destroy enemy bases. The central part of map was surrounded by roads and rivers and was mostly empty with exception of one enemy base, because i haven't finished it yet. During the test i had to use few land and water based vehicles to fight through enemy's, then upon reaching that base i switched to some heavy tank with artillery cannon and two more side cannons, but enemy had some very overpowered machinegun reinforced points. I went back to editor mode and switched their placement, then tested again, and then editor mode again, thinking where to put them. Dream 3(fragments): I was watching some video that explained why ragdoll physics in games tend to glitch out, apparently it was because of ragdolls colliding with light(Dream Logic!). Dream 4(fragments): There was discussion on some forums about some weird metal melee weapons and then i could test some of them.
Date: August 4, 2013 Method: MILD & WBTB (fell asleep during WILD ) Total Sleep Time: Not enough! Fragment Eating breakfast with my niece at IHOP (piping hot pancakes with lots of butter and hot coffee...my favorite) and there was something about the breakfast special that I was very concerned about, but I believe my concern was that I didn't ask for the special and we were paying far too much for what we ordered. Note: I woke up starving!
I'm in some guys house, there are three me here and they have this weird stringy stretching thing going on, I think to myself Ive walked into something weird but even so I am curious and get closer to see. There is this red headed man hooked up to the contraption, he seems as excited as the other men to see if their project works, the continue to struggle and pull at this machine, the finally I hear this loud snap noise, and the red headed man is now decapitated, and the other guys look happily surprised, I look at the head worried that that is house I will die in the hands of not these men who seem to be my friend, but others. I look at the head curiously amused at how the eyelids are still blinking, it frightens me, is he still conscious? does he feel pain? he is looking at me and smiling, one of his arms is attached to him still, it waves at us, and he picks up a coffee mug, and tries to drink it but fails, I can tell he's trying to speak, but he can't. I begin to wonder if this was their plan, is this a natural occurrence? or are they somehow keeping him alive?
