dream fragment

In this fragment I recall some sort of card game about dreaming and there was magic involved. It does not help that I thought I had written this dream down, but apparently had not.

Sunday 7/14/13

Last night bed 12am - 9am

DR - long and detailed. But all I recall now is there was a lots of people eating first course. We were debating to make rice for second course or wait. Lot's of people milling around, we were baking something too.

I didn't log much last night, so here's a very brief summary of some dreams:
Spider training: I was in a hollow with my soke and he was training me to use power from spiders.
Online school: I joined some stupid online school.
Flood: It started raining and the area started to flood, water was up to my knees.

Pre bed: 100mg B6

Dream quality and recall: Dreams were vivid but recall was challenging due to the fact that I continued sleeping after the lds. It took me a while to journal the lds and by the time I did, the non-ld memories almost vanished. Still, taking into account recent busyness, heat and other distractions, I am very happy with the results.

Early dream fragment: It is the 5th of July and I am watching lots of fantastic long-lasting fireworks in the sky

Early dream fragment: I am doing dumbbell exercises, it feels really good

WBTB: Was very sleepy but made an effort to review the tasks. Said a mantra a few times, then fell deeply asleep.

Dream: I enter grandpa's room and discover that grandma has forgotten some kind of a diary she kept hidden behind the door. I wait until she is not around and peek in the diary to find out it is actually my diary. So, I had forgotten it in 2007 and she hid it and has been reading little bits ever since. This is terrible because this diary fully describes my views, plans, etc. I want to take it back home, but my mom comes snooping around, so I have to be careful not to attract her attention.

Fragment: I am with a classmate going to a class meeting. We stop in front of a building.

LD1: For some reason am in someone's store that resembles an outlet of a totally unknown brand. I spend some time checking out clothes, mostly interested in pink and purple ones. There is a cardigan I like but it turns into a net? Classmates are also there, I am trying to get their attention. A woman working in the store comes to bring us what looks like orange juice, but she claims it is beer. My whole class is gathered around something like a long table and we are having a drink. I first wait for everyone to get served but soon notice that some are already drinking. I feel drunk. Other classmates tell the story of a girl with the same name as mine, about how she lived in some city where women are emancipated. I think this refers to me, but later find out that they are talking about another classmate because they say her family name.

I turn to one of my best friends and say to her that we better leave the place and go outside. I am not sure what we did there but I am overly bold and become lucid. I turn back to all the guys from my class that have been passively following me and say some things to them I don't any longer remember. I recall how long this dream has been going and have very little time left, so decide to hurry up. The scenery around me is absolutely beautiful. We just left a lone building and there is only grass around, hills, trees. It seems like fall is just beginning, the colors are very pleasant to look at.

My brain is more asleep than usual and the only task that comes to mind after looking at the scenery is flying to angel falls. (which is so totally CL!)

I lift off and do some maneuvering that I can't exactly recall. I keep on flying over some fantastic hills, but I just feel this is going to end very bad because I have no idea where I am going and I am in the air for too long. (Also my expectation was set very deeply on a subcon level).

I decide to land and end up facing what looks like a small waterfall. There is water pouring over some rocks just in front of me. While I know this isn't what I am looking for (too small), I go as close as possible to this water falling down the rocks, trying to feel the water on me as the dream fades away and I end up in the void.

I spend some time in the void, just waiting there. (I couldn't remember any advice as what else to do, but that was fine)

LD2:It's a bit hard to remember what the first image was that I was looking at here but I am lucid from the start. It is an open area, with lots of vegetation again. I try three tasks, not fully sure about the sequence of but mostly likely in this order.

I look around and see some hills and trees in the distance. Once again it is all very beautiful and this makes me happy. It also reminds me that I was headed towards Angel falls. The vegetation makes it just perfect for the task and I stare there and day dream for a very short while. I feel like I want to rush forward and just get there. However, I just passed a few DCs and I remember I had another task I wanted to do "ask a DC".

I turn to this overweight mid-age woman and she makes some kind of word-like sound like "nah", I ask her where my phone is and she says "outside". This cannot be possible, as I know the phone must be somewhere at home, so I object and ask for further explanation. She says something else that I can't exactly remember but it means that this the answer. I am not satisfied with the answer she gave me, so I look around and there is another DC woman more or less the same type, but different face. I go to her and she makes exactly the same word-like sound like the other one, I find this very strange. I proceed to ask her about my phone and she just answers "but didn't you already ask". Well, yeah, but I want to ask again, and it is none of her business, just tell me where the phone is. I am annoyed with her and start some senseless explaining. After a while, I give it up and move on.

Still in the same place I decide to do the fireworks task and look around for some fireworks to swallow. The problem is that I am not in a room where my mind easily makes all kinds of objects but in the greenery and there's only grass and some small bushes there. I somehow remember I can do a summon from my pocket. I have the memory that my pockets are currently empty but still decide to search in my pocket. It is indeed empty but I manage to scrub something there, I hold my fist tight for a second and then I expect to see a mini-firework in there. Unfortunately, it is just a purple brown pill. I become confused thinking I really had this pill in my real pocket and that's causing the problem. Anyways, I concentrate on the pill, trying to make it look at least a bit like a firework but in vain. Somewhere after this intense concentration the dream fades.

I don't remember anything from the void here anymore.

LD3: I appear in some kind of public building restroom, still lucid, where I am looking myself in the mirror. I feel some pain in my tooth and have a closer look. Yeah, something is not quite right there and that worries me that I might actually have done something to my real tooth. I vaguely remember Penny talking about tooth dreams, and try to ignore the issue. Yet, I keep on checking myself out in the mirror until I zoom in to see and feel my entire row of teeth in a painfully twisted position. Dreams can really get crazy, I think to myself, remembering how Checker's fingers were twisted or something like that.

Finally, I brake my teeth fixation and walk around, trying to exit the restroom. Slightly worried that the dream might destabilize, although there wasn't an indication?, I decide to rub my hands and see if anything feels different. I remark that everything feels absolutely normal, and rubbing my hands on this occasion does not feel different from waking life. I also remember to jump a bit supposedly to stabilize, but it's more like some mischievous act of fun. I jump a few times, although cautiously as I don't want to destabilize the dream by losing the sense of my feet while mid air.

Trying to leave the restroom, I walk around in this building, but get lost in a maze of corridors. I go back, then try again and end up in some creepy looking corridor, lit by a single old bulb, shining bright. The whole place looks like from some kind a cheap movie scene and I don't like it at all. I don't want to be there. I get paranoid, staring at the corridor which turns to the left and soon some kind of a non-human thing is summoned by me.

Before he even has the chance to move closer I know that the only way out of this place is to phase through the wall in front of me and I do so.

I immediately end up in the void, but am still a bit paranoid that this thing might follow me into the next dream. I try to reason this whole situation, that he doesn't exist anymore, and feeling with certainty that once in the void, it is over. From then on, I remember to concentrate on Angel falls and on appearing on top of it. I do my best to create sensations that I am there.

I don't remember what happened, I just found myself in the next scene.

LD4: My memory gets even worse as I fall deeper into sleep. I am on the street, facing some building. My concern at this point is recall. I realize that I have been having dream after dream with no opportunity to journal. I try to remember how many lds so far, four, try to recall some details as I feel they will be lost. Using either my fingernails or some other object, I write down the number of dreams with a key word next to each to help with my recall once I wake up. This whole task is extremely difficult and towards the end of the process I begin to hear non-lucid dream thoughts interfering in my head.

Soon I lose lucidity as a Heroes of Might and Magic scene develops in the building in front of me. There are the two players' armies and obviously mine has been defeated because I didn't send reinforcements, while the other player did. The armies look quite 3D life-like with the largest beast looking quite scary.

NLD: Someone informs bf about his dentist and that some kind of refund is due because he did the dental work in a hurry. Tom Wilkinson is the dentist.

NLD: I am in a tram, there is a strange looking skinny old man in front of me. He is dressed like Gandhi, also has some kind of flat drawers on his chest, as some sort of a medallion. We talk for a short while and unfortunately I can't recall more detail anymore.

Soon the dream ends and I am in my body semi-conscious and extremely sleepy. For some reason my physical body decides to change position, so my legs move. This is what wakes me up a bit more and I decide it is better to journal before I forget everything.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some dark place, talking with somebody then later i started playing some video game, an RTS of some kind.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in some metallic corridor and then i entered some big room. Then i used one of monitors in room to control some base in space, that looked like AI War. SilentEternity contacted me and said that it was updated and that AI fleet behavior changed greatly. And indeed, AI ships were more precisely controlled on one by one basis very accurately. i barely managed to stop the attack with turrets. Then after stopping the attack i continued talking with SilentEternity about something, then we with some group entered some kind of 3D game. I was escorting some NPCs through corridors of some spaceship or space station and protecting them from enemies, then we activated some switches that started the travel through space. We had to choose the path and we started to discuss something about dragons and whether to go through dragon land or not.

Dream 3(fragment):

I was playing some hybrid of AI War and some other RTS.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was on certain forum and there was some suggestion forum game about a dragon and i was discussing types of dragons with GWG.

I had a ton of dreams last night, only they were all short.

This one took place after waking up from a short one, so I'd classify it as WBTB.

Length: ~5 min
Type: Lucid

Some guys rolled up in a truck, two of them had guns. I realized this was a dream after cowering behind a tree. I was torn, because I wanted to have a lucid dream, but I didn't want to get shot in it, so I did a RC to make sure. Then I jumped out and tried to imagine them catching on fire, it didn't work the way I planned, but at least something scared them off. Most likely me willing them to go away. Then I flew after their truck a little bit. It was amazing, zipping past the trees like that, floating above ground. Pure awesomes. After that I forget what happened. But those were the highlights.

PS: I'd just like to say the nose RC is the best. There's nothing more satisfying than breathing in through your fingers and realizing your in your own dream.

Edit: Oh! I almost forgot, the reason I was inclined to believe I was dreaming was because there was a girl who looked like my dream sign in the shotgun seat. Plus this whole thing of pulling up in a truck and ganging a teenager was sort of... weird.

Dream recall from today's nap.

I was at home and thinking about something lucid dreaming related.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some platformer game.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some game and was discussing it with someone, there were various missions and at one point i was visiting some japanese-style place. Then i got a spaceship and game became like AI War visually, i was navigating the space on it around and it was Zenith Champion Frigate ship. There were some Dyson Spheres making Dyson Gatlings, some were friendly, some not. I was helping allied fleet to defend versus the non-friendly ones and almost lost the ship in one of battles, it was on like 1% hp, there was also some other enemy fleet. Later i ended up landing on various planets and exploring them, searching for something, i had some kind of advanced powers.

Dream 3:

I was at home, talking with some family members, the room was entirely different. Later i was eating, visiting some forum and playing some video game, also i had some kind of abilities that i occasionally used. Later i was checking out balcony and there was abnormal amount of lightning in the clouds, the moment i leave the balcony lightning strikes a pipe on balcony, which surprises me a bit.

1. A guy who looked like my old elementary school teacher Steve (again?!) proposing in a coffee shop.

2. Looking up at the sky and no stars. (Hard to explain)

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing AI War and was discussing strategy with someone on forums, there was talk about railcannon subcommander station and then i ended up capturing that planet.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some multiplayer FPS game and ingame paths were very dependent on the actions of player group, we were attacking some base at some point.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was in some video game which apparently was taking place near my home, we were fighting some enemies, then it was continued at home and there were multiple floors and lots of holes.

Forgot to post this one ages ago, apparently. Here it is.

---

A single fragment, unfortunately.

I was in my room. It was apparently 6:00AM. One of my friends was there, and he was saying something.

So it started off at a Sleeping with Sirens concert. I was able to sneak in towards the end of the concert. Then some producer guy came in and told us to leave because an old 80's singer needed the stage. All the fans protested and I tried to start a chant "Sleeping with Sirens, Sleeping with Sirens." But no one else joined in so my friend(don't remember who it was. I didn't pay much attention to them anyways) got up and left.
Then we walked into a One Direction concert. Since I f*cking hate them, I told my friend "I got an idea." As they started singing one of their stupid songs. I ran onstage, grabbed the microphone and started playing a hardcore Pierce the Veil song into it.

I remembered this dream from last night.

2. [non-lucid][vivid]
I'm alone in my house, I'm using the PC in my room and I hear a knock at the door so I moved over and looked through my open door at the front door of the house (my room is at the back of the house on the ground floor and my door faces the front door at the other end of the corridor), the door opens and I am becoming really scared at this point, I quickly scramble for my phone to call the police, I miss dialed the first time due to being scared so I tried again, this time I got through to the police and said something like "help, theirs someone in my house and I'm alone (something about a pedophile idk)". I then woke up or forgot what happens next.

Fragments:
I was looking for somewhere to hide but couldn't find a good spot.

Notable Items & People:
Bedroom door, front door, iPhone, PC, TV screen, window, back door

Dream recall from today's nap.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some video game and there was something about conflict between some races in space, then i was controlling a miniature version of superfortress from AI War and guarding some huge space structure, very quick enemies were spawning from a wormhole and periodically shooting i could move fort to dodge their projectiles and it autoattacked them with it's homing flame wave.

Dream 2(fragments):

I wake up in chair i feel the dream and i hear somebody coming from behind. DC starts doing some kind of relaxing massage and it's nice, then i ask DC something about transformation(still bad at recalling talk) but he ignores me. Shortly DC finishes and goes away through balcony door. I try to get up from the chair but gravity is almost non-existent and it's hard to move and dream fades out.
I wake up in old chair that almost falls over. Caught by surprise i balance it and completely forget to RC. I look around and position of things including some old couch is messed up. I think that i have done that while sliding on chair while sleeping. I move objects around quite easily, trying to remember, then looking around i get 'wait a second' feeling but before i get lucid i wake up.

My recall has dropped to a new minimum, although I am consistent with my DJ. No dreams yesterday and last night gave only two small fragments from what I know were big dreams. At least I feel there is much more to them.

• Elite district: I'm in a housing complex. The houses are big and they have huge front yards with massive cars. It feels like some kind of elite district, where the educated and financially successful people live. I walk around and ask the people about their dreams. While they are generally polite, no one really seems amused or interested.
  
  There is a lot more, but all other details are foggy. Nevertheless, it shows me that thinking and talking about dreams is active in me, while I'm dreaming.
  
  
• Knife in dream-shoulder hurts: I'm in a small house with many small rooms. They are like small chambers, where the floor and the ceiling are made of wood. There are also wooden shelves. My mother is there at some point in the fragment.
  
  I'm with my brother. It feels like something bad has happened to either or both of us. I hurt him in the stomach and he slowly stabs a knife into my left shoulder. It hurts a lot, but I don't resist it, because I somehow feel like I deserve it. The whole thing makes me sad, I hug him, while he is lying injured (injured by me(?)) on the ground. I tell him that I love him and that I am really sorry.
  
  My brother was also in my DJ-entries from 2 and 4 nights ago. I have no clue what this means and where it comes from, but this one makes me think. This feels like a small fragment of a bigger dream (which perhaps spans several nights lol).
