dream fragment

decided to start keeping a dream journal again because my recall has been abysmal the past few months.

i do not recall much of the first dream. i remember that the scene was dark and there were several men around. at one point (i do not know if i was awake or still dreaming) i thought to myself that i should try to remember this dream.

later in the night i believe i had a false awakening. i dreamt that i was laying in my bed, and i decided to go back to sleep. my dream began on the bottom floor of a house. i was sort of aware that i was dreaming, and i decided to go up the stairs because it would turn this house into a cool house from one of my favourite dreams (which i had before i started keeping a journal on DV). the house was large and airy with many floors; the top floor was a white gazebo several hundred feet above the ground. i was sitting on a chair in the gazebo and gazing out at the sky. i was still faintly aware that i was dreaming. i tried to give myself a feeling of happiness/euphoria but it did not really work. i became aware of my real-life body and my dream imagery began to fade.

after that i slept fitfully. i would wake up once every half hour or so and return to sleep almost immediately. i had a dream about being at some kind of camp. there was a lot to this dream but i do not recall much. the part i remember took place in a large outdoor pool. it was sunny and warm outside. i asked a man what the temperature was and he said '42 degrees'. i decided to go for a swim but by the time i reached the pool it had been drained. it was full of wet leaves and detritus.

edit: remembered another part of the camp/pool dream. i was with some teenage girls who had some pills that they said were MDMA. most of the pills were pink tablets with imprints but two of them were large black "bars" with white text and hearts on them. i told them i had to analyze the pills before i took them. i recall that i found out the 'bars' were some kind of herbal supplement.

Fishing in prehistoric times

I'm fishing with my friends at prehistoric pond in the night. I catch wierd lookin fish. It looks like fish/dinosaur/reptile animal. It has about 40 cm. We meet prehistoric man, he has bone necklace. He is angry at us, so I make him fear us and he runs away.

Party taste

I'm in the park in the city, where i was born. I get invitation on my iphone to some party. On invitation card there is photo of people whom have attended party before.

A. school

I go in a classroom. I see my desk mate from hightschool and some other girls. I sit next to boy M. and I take off my hoodie.

In all my recent dreams I am always so nice to people and they are nice to me. They are all pleasant dreams, the unpleasant ones are fortunately rare for me and I haven't had a nightmare since I was a child. But this night I was confronted with one of my recurring childhood nightmares, where I am in the role of a Jew during world war two in Germany, and I am always haunted by Nazis and the holocaust.

Three fragments followed by two dreams:

• I'm on my way from my grandmother's house to my mother's with 3 other guys. I go down through the garden into the valley. It's raining and I'm the only one with an umbrella, too bad for the others I think and enjoy my dry place beneath it.
  
  I want to cook some nice food when we arrive at my mother's apartment, so I ponder my appetites and imagine what would be nice to eat. Then, when we cross the small wooden bridge across the small river, there are three nice chicken filet frying on the right side. They have the same size as a human and look delicious and well spiced.
  
  Don't know who I was with. The environment was the real and well known environment between my grandmother's house and my mother's apartment. Had some chicken the previous day.
  
  
• I am in a courtyard of a big farmers house, there are many people. I have a really big bar of chocolate and I should share it with the others. Sharing is fine I think and I give half of the chocolate bar for sharing, while I selfishly enjoy the other delicious half myself.
  
  Sharing 50% is enough. Who can say no to chocolate.
  
  
• I am at a big harbor with much traffic on the water, many big passenger ships. I am on a big platform with many people, some are just walking, some are enjoying the view across the harbor, standing at a railing.
  
  I spot a young man who stands there with no shirt, so I ask him "aren't you cold? It's so windy", he says "it's all cool" and smiles.
  
  Then I see another guy, who looks just like one of my friends from behind and I tap him on the shoulder and hug him. Suddenly I realize that he is a stranger and not my friend. I apologize and feel sad, because I was happy to see my friend. The stranger is a bit confused, but takes it with a smile.
  
  Dunno...
  
  
• I'm in the city with two of my friends, there are big streets, much traffic and many traffic lights. As we intend to cross a street, the traffic light switches from green to yellow, but I think "no big deal, I can easily make it, I'm not gonna die from this!", so I keep going, while my friends stand still. I almost get hit by a car coming from the right, the brakes make a loud noise and scare me. There is a police station in front of me.
  
  Now I am about 50 m ahead of the two and as I turn around to look after them, they scream and yell at one driver. The car stops and the driver yells back, but that only gets the whole trouble started: The window of the passenger seat opens and a young Nazi with a handgun begins shooting at my friends, one of them has also a gun and begins shooting back. I hear some bullets hitting the car, I am really frightened now. The window from the backseat opens as well and another young Nazi begins shooting in all directions, including mine, with an assault rifle. I panic and run behind the nearest buildings. The Nazi gang leaves the car and begins hunting their 'usual group of targets', while they scream hateful Nazi phrases.
  
  I run across a big soccer field, where people are playing soccer and soft ball. They must not have realized the trouble, I calm myself with the fact that I saw a police station nearby. The field is big and I run as fast as I can, still frightened.
  
  I come to a house with 6 apartments, there are names on the doorbells and on one there is "[My name], the Jew sitter", so it must be my apartment I think. But the house scares me, there are all these hateful phrases on the walls, and the fact that I am labeled "Jew sitter", while there is a Nazi gang on the way freaks me out.
  
  So I hide behind the building on a small hill with an old and rotten train track. I calm down a bit. I see some homeless people and some junkies chilling on the train track a little further ahead. Then there is this ringing sound that comes when the railroad barriers are closing.
  
  When I woke up, I realized that the ringing sound was my phone moaning for power and I somehow incorporated that into the dream. The Nazi nightmares were haunting me when I was a child and had learned about all the cruelties from the holocaust. I guess back then I was so overwhelmed with how cruel humans could possibly be (and obviously I still am. I grew up in Germany, don't know if that's relevant, though).
  
  So here was an unscheduled WBTB, where I did some MILD exercises and imagined how the dream would be when I had been lucid. Also, I realized that I did not have the capacity to RC, when I saw the train track, which is one of my recurring dream signs. Maybe I should make Nazis to my dream sign, because they are fortunately only present in my dreams nowadays. Spotting them right away in the dream will give me the opportunity for a nice revenge
  
  
• I'm at a party at my university. Everyone is happy and the party is fun, I smoke a Joint with two of my friends, they get really high. Later they want to go outside, but I rather stay inside.
  
  I try to use a cash machine, but it refuses to give me any cash, because my card is broken. I meet a bald black guy who is waiting in the line to the cash machine and I start talking to him. He is very nice and we have fun together, so we decide to chill in the room next door. There is a table with big soft couches around it and there are some hot girls sitting there. As we sit down, the girls are gone and I wonder what I did wrong, but it doesn't affect our mood. The black guy shares his cigarette with me, it looks like a joint but he assures it is a cigarette.
  
  I go down a narrow staircase to the toilets after promising the black guy that I'll be back soon. I then find myself in a library with many people working and reading in small booths, it is big and confusing and I admit to myself that I have lost track of where I am. I somehow manage to get outside and try to get back to the party. There is a small field with a police car and I walk across the field towards the building. I meet one of my friends with whom I have smoked earlier that night. Strange thing is there are two of him. So I say "Hi [name of friend]" two times, once to each of them. I wonder why there are two times the same person and then I wake up.
  
  Confusing dream, but somehow cool and very vivid. I like WBTB, should do it more often, I think it is a nice tool for dreams in general. I have always had the impression that a small waking phase in the end of the sleep cycle improves dream vividness, even before learning about WBTB and LDing.

Little snakes

I see a lot of snakes on the floor, some of them are dead. There are very little snakes everywhere.

Long rifle

I'm on the field holding rifle with a long tube.

B. tried

I talk with B. and V. about their experience. B. says that she tried a lot of activities...

Dream recall from today's nap.

I was playing some video game.

Legend: Lucid, Real Life, Non-Lucid, Semi-Lucid

Hacking EA:
as I ran down the stairs of a very odd mall I noticed myself and my partner trying to break into EA(Electronic Art Games). He had a box In his hand as if this box was able to bypass there security, we had the box on complete lock down meaning that its true purpose was very important.


The Green Room:
After SSILD + WBTB was done I was on the verge of going to sleep but then suddenly the fans in my room got really loud and there was a woman's voice trying to speak to me, I was completely calm as I new exactly what was happening, I was in a Hypnagogia state. I started to imagine a dream scene with me and my friends at a local pool, but this did not happen. Instead, I woke up in a room with green lighting as i tried to move clearly something was wrong. Every time I tried to walk I would move a door at the end of the room, I tried to see who was opening and closing the door and to my surprise it was Abraham Lincoln. I really did want to meet/troll him but unfortunately I could hear my mom trying to wake me up and I had no idea if she was actually trying to wake me up or if i was just imagining it so I had no choice but to wake up.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some FPS game and was searching for something in indoor tech maze, there was some kind of farm place/room at certain point.

Dream 2:

I in Doom game with some people, who apparently were friends, but it was not normal kind of level. It was a huge square room, with one wall being used for gigantic platformer puzzle with lots of elevators, switches and such. We were trying to solve it and at one point i almost found way to the switch on the top that was supposed to unlock other part of puzzle, but i messed up jump making it unreachable for a while because we had to reconfigure lots of elevators and platforms again. In meanwhile we were talking about something else.

Dream 3:

I was watching someone playing AI War, there was some update that added some kind of missions in different dimensions as well as some new units and changes. he was doing mission after mission, in all he had to fight something with fleet, and there was one purple dimension with pillars that was pretty hard. Also he got some Spirecraft but overall he was failing in places and i said that he is using units wrong way.

remembered I was doing something in what seems to be a storage room in my house (which house I don't know).

Then I had another unrelated dream where I am Blossoms from Powerpuff Girls, and the Mayor asked us to cause damage to the neighborhood for some reason. We were in my first house that I lived until I was 7. We had a giant oversized orange frisbee. The other girls threw them at the satellite dishes on the roofs of the houses and missed. I couldn't throw at all. I never learned how to pitch IRL, so I'm like a girl

Legend: Dream , Semi-Lucid , Lucid

Train of leadership:
I remember the dream starting out with me on a bed surrounded by a group of other people, and then one of my friends calls me and i answer my phone and start talking to them. After that, i see a small town out in the middle of a desert like place, the town is being watched by one of those titans from 'attack on titan' but the titan is waiting for me because the town is controlled by a rebel group and i'm their leader. I then see myself standing in a suburban area at night, debating what i should do. Then i decided i should face the titan head on, so i get on a train with other people of the group and start heading out that way. ( this dream had a lot more to it but since i was really tired, i didn't attempt to wake up when i should have and etc. )

July 6th

Dream 1

I was at a pool party, I was watching something on the internet, then from a balcony I seen someone from my school flexing their muscles on the outside of the pool.

Dream 2

Somebody storms into a room and changes something, then carries on what they were doing.

Dream 3

MistaJams son died. The whole nation was very sad for him. He had lead poisoning, but when they went to the doctors nobody knew what was wrong with him and said he was fine.

Dream 4

I was sitting round a table with my family. Recently in real life I have to wear a mouth guard to sleep because I grind my teeth in my sleep and its starting to wear away my front teeth. So in thee dream I went to look at my tooth in the mirror see if they looked ok. I noticed my front tooth on the left had a round gap in the middle of it. I couldn't believe it! I went back to the table and showed everyone. They were saying stuff like, 'I don't think the mouth guards doing any good' and 'you need to go back to the dentist'. I then put in tounge in this gap and a little bit of it fell off, it fell into my hand. I put my tounge on it again then half of the tooth fell out! I spat it into my hand. My mouth felt horrible. I went back to the mirror to have a look. I had half a front tooth. It looked better than the massive gap, but I went back to the table and said when I go back to the dentist hopefully they will put something over the front of it. Then I was woke up.

Dream 5

I had to go and investigate this house with what was my work partner in this dream. I was in this street and I seen this house what I was investigating. It had a tank go through one end of the house and out the other. It was huge, we then looked down the whole street and all the house were like this. I walked into this houses back garden, it was one big patio and two girls were sitting on one of them swinging benches, emotionless. One had a green dress on and was staring into open space. The other had a bright yellow dress on, staring into open space with a cup of tea.

I grabbed the tea off the yellow dress girl and threw it away, I turned around then looked back and the tea had appeared again. I was so confused, I went to have a look inside and they both got up and walked inside. they said they were trying to help. However they were not, I took some photos and they started attacking. I ran out the house. Shut the door and put a plank of wood across the door, I looked through the window and they were walking round like zombies. I try calling the police. it ends.

Dream 6

I was in a town somewhere and it was night time, these people owned a record shop and they had a table set outside with a microphone. I walk round it and everyone is going 'Ryan, spray some bars.' I was embarrassed but I thought why not? I pick up the mic, the beat is running, I'm thinking of some lyrics. I decide to use Skeptas lyrics. I do a quick 16 and put the mic down. Then music starts playing randomly and Jaykae is on a bride preforming to the town.

Dream 7

Me and my brother had made it to the semi final of X Factor. We were known as Jedward (former X Factor people), everyone loved us. I was preforming and going mental in front of these thousands of people who were also loving the energy. After preforming I go backstage everyone tells me how good we were. I progress to the final somehow.

I'm then on the day of the final show, I was climbing up the scaffolding inside of a building sorting out something to do with the show. While I'm climbing I remember it dosen't matter how good we do we come 3rd. I seen it on tv, Jedward came 3rd! As we are climbing up this scaffolding it collapses, I fall under the rubble in pain. I climb out and the man who cause the collapse said he done it so he could get his friend out of jail.

July 7

Dream 1

I was in GTA and I was riding on a yellow bus.

Dream 2

I was at school in assembly and my teacher said to me 'You need to get rid of those spots, especially that one' He pointed to on my temple, i could feel it.

I was then in my bedroom. I had a spot on my forehead, it had puss in it. I popped that fine. I moved onto the one on my temple. I pushed my fingers together on it and it enlarged, it turned as big as an eyeball, it was white and spotty and had black round the outside. It was very disgusting. I became very scared. I thought a tumor was growing on the outside of my face. I ran and showed my brother. He didn't have much of a reaction, I showed my dad then my mum. My mum didn't care, then after a while she began too.

We ran to the computer, she was on it searching on google for what it was. She was searching on google images, I was telling her to look on search but she was not listening. I couldn't deal anymore and had to pop it. I ran to my bedroom and went to pop it. It was gone. I started feeling round my face, I could feel it under my skin by my mouth, I tried pushing it back up to my temple then I woke up.

Dream 3

I was playing battlefield in real life, I was trying to persuade my friend battlefield was better than cod. There was a sniper on the other roof and I could see his laser shining just outside our building. I say to my friend 'Watch this'. I smash the door run out behind this block. Shoot one guy down. it took me about ten shots, then I killed the sniper. The dream was in more detail but I'm getting tired typing now haha.

1. [non-lucid]
I visited my friend (Alex) at his house. I was telling his mum how to put my harness on in the kitchen, she found it really easy and didn't struggle at all.
Now I'm in Alex's room, the room layout had changed, Alex retreated into his bathroom so i waited, as I waited I noticed on the desk to the right of where the door is there is a PC on it with a mouse and keyboard...anyway, on the screen theirs a Dog/Wolf like creature (It was dark grey with white tufts of fur around its neck) so I moved the mouse to get a better look, Its in a game probably an MMO of some sort.

Alex came out of the bathroom and was using the 2nd desk which was half blocking his bathroom for some reason so I went over and I think I started a conversation about something.

Fragments:
I'm in an old minibus that used to take me to school with the same bus driver.

Notable Items & People:
Black square PC monitor, Wheelchair battery, Alex's Mum.

Hmm when is it called a fragment and when is it a full dream? I'd say when there is only one particular scene or situation then its a fragment, and if there is more I'll call it a dream. Here are 6 from last night, not sure if they are generally considered fragments or dreams. This is actually relevant for getting points in a DV-Academy competition that I'm currently in.

• I find myself on a big terrace on the first floor. It is made of concrete and there are concrete pillars all around it to hold the roof. There are ~10 people from my university, one is talking. He is very enthusiastic and he tells about his big and awesome plan and he shows a paper with notes. He explains that he created a treasure hunt with challenges on the way, but they are not easy. Everyone listens carefully and they ask questions about any hints. He promises that it will be very challenging but also very fun, and that the price is worth the effort.
  
  Never saw this place before. The guy who is talking is very quiet and not enthusiastic at all IWL.
  
  
• I drive on small paths through nature on a small tricycle for kids. It is very fast and requires almost no effort. It is fun and refreshing, the surroundings are densely overgrown with plants and small trees. I come to an open bedroom between some trees, my stepfather is sleeping in a bed and my sister is lying awake in another bed, the third one must be mine. As I lay down, I become aware that I'm not tired at all and I convince my stepfather and my sister to join me on a tricycle ride. At first they don't want to, but they enjoy it as soon as we get going.
  
  I like my subconscious idea about an open bedroom in nature. The situation must have been from a few years ago, because my sister was still a child in the dream, while she is older IWL.
  
  
• I am with a guy from my secondary school. We are at some kind of meeting and we have to present something. The projector is directed onto a small family house, so that the wall becomes the screen. There is a lot of text projected on the wall and my friend tries to correct the position of the text so that it is readable and does not overlap with the windows of the house. The content of the text seems irrelevant, it is all about the position and layout. So my friend talks while editing the text. Finally it is all arranged and readable for everyone, the text is concentrated on the outer wooden balks of the house and between the windows.
  Suddenly the projector swings around and makes all neighboring houses to one big screen. Now there is weird text projected on their walls, containing nonsensical and even insulting phrases.
  
  Haven't seen that guy for some years and suddenly we make a presentation on a house wall. Dream world, you can be very inventive...
  
  
• I am working in a big warehouse. I have a cigarette pause outside behind the warehouse and as I go back inside, I see all my stuff from my pockets lying on the ground. There is chewing gum, my phone, my wallet and my keys. I wonder how it came to lie there, but I don't worry about it and just pick it up again. Then I see one of my colleagues coming towards me and I hold the door for him. He seems to be in a very good mood and then he asks 'hey, have you ever called an ambulance?'. I say 'yes, why?' and he says 'hey you gotta try it, please call an ambulance now, just for the fun of it!', he smiles. I find it is a very stupid idea and I explain that I don't want to and I try to convince him that he shouldn't do it either. His mood drops as he realizes that there is nothing funny about it.
  I am in a little room, right beside the big hall of the warehouse. There are several black garbage bins. As I open the lids, I see that they are all sealed with an extra wooden lid, which cannot be opened.
  
  I used to have a job in the warehouse four years ago and have not been there since then. So this situation must be from some years in the past, but it didn't seem nonsensical for my dream logic at all. I guess time works differently in dreams and they can span many years into the past and are not particularly bound to the current life situation.
  
  
• There is a big footrace. Many people I know are around, they are from all kinds of friend groups and cliques I know, all mixed up. I want to participate in the race and I try to convince all the others to join me. Most of them don't really want to, but some of them are already among the runners and the race starts. I say screw it and begin to run after them, even though they already have a head start. I run past some friends who don't want to participate and I show them my middle finger while smiling. The route has many small curves and is wound around small flower beds. At one point it goes like an 8-shape, and the runners paths cross each other. When I come to the crossing point, I almost crash frontally and with full speed into one of my friends. We go aside the running track and laugh about it, 'imagine if we had really run into each other'. We laugh so hard that we can barely breathe. Then we slowly start running after the others again, while still laughing.
  
  Hmm many dreams about running recently... Maybe I should do more of it? Maybe it can become a dream sign?
  
  
• I sit at a table in a small room together with 5 other people. I know the guy to the right of me, he is a friend, but I have never seen the others. It is some kind of secret club or organisation and apparently I'm the new one. My dream memory tells me that I have been in the rival group previously, but that I am happy to be in this one now. We drink beer and wait for the 'leader'. As he arrives, he welcomes us all and gives free beer for everyone. I take a sip of it, but then one of the others whispers that we should wait with that a bit. Then my bottle falls to the ground by my friends accident, the others look irritated at us. The 'leader' explains something on a blackboard. Suddenly I see a flash of lightning on the blackboard, it is more like a chalk drawing of lightning, but it is dynamical like a normal lightning bolt. I try to explain to the others what I just saw and they smile, saying 'yeah, you will see more awesome things like that from here on!'
  
  Dunno what to say about this one. Well, didn't see that one coming at least.

My dream recall is quite good now, considering that I had zero recall of any dreams only a couple of months ago. Quitting regular cannabis consumption does indeed enrich the dream world very much. I'm still lacking a suitable LD induction technique, but I'm working on that.

I barely got any sleep last night, so I didn't get up until 3:47 p.m. I don't remember anything save for that my mother and baby brother may have been involved.

Before I went to bed, I almost got an FILD again. I felt the weightlessness.

Dream 1

I'm in the side yard at my old house. Two other people are here: a boy and a girl. I'm picking some 'vegetables' off of a vine while they watch. These 'vegetables' just look like maroon potatoes. They tell me to be very careful with these since they'll be going to some rich people.

Dream 2 (fragment)

I see a large, glass display case. It's cylindrical at the bottom but rounded off like the top of an egg. The few shelves inside are full of plates of all kinds of chocolate cake. They're all labeled, decorated, and incredibly delicious looking.

Dream 3 (fragment)

I make a chocolate cake and eat it all out of the pan.

Dream 4

I'm in Sacramento with my mom and sister. We're at a restaurant (by the water?). I really enjoy the presence of out waitress and want her to come home with us when we have to leave. I want to at least leave her a tip, but can't find any 5's or 1's when I look in my wallet. I do notice that all the bills have 'God' crossed off on the back.
When we get home, we watch a music video on the tv. It shows a scene scene of some old ladies sitting in a line and moving to the music.

I dream I am driving around a parking lot in a pink Bug with my Dad. We pull up by a small playground and see my ex-health teacher Mrs. Wolfe. She wants to speak to my Dad for some odd reason. He suggests I pull up onto the sidewalk, but Mrs. Wolfe denies the idea. So my Dad gets out and goes with her. I continue to drive in circles. I stop and get out shortly at another small park area where some of my friends are hanging out. After awhile I get back in the pink Bug and drive. But the keys aren't in the ignition, and I begin to roll down a hill. I see I'm on a dead path to hit a car and panic. I finally get the keys in and attempt to turn out of the way. To my luck, the wheel is down and won't turn because its rubbing against my legs. So I quickly pull the adjustment lever and it goes up and I turn out of the way, barely missing the car.

Next I dream its the last days of the next year of school. It feels like it went by in just a flash. I'm in the hallway of the school, which looks more like a prison than a school. I find my two friends Joey and Mark and we talk about how fast the school year has gone by. It literally felt like yesterday we started the year. Later on I'm going by classrooms and a teacher I had two years ago stops me and hands me a very odd plant.
"I noticed you're going to be in my class again next year, so you'll need this," she says. The plant looks somewhat like a small tree. It's entirely green, and has a massive stem, with green little "branches" hanging on it. And small little grey flowers are on it.

That's all I remember.
