dream fragment

Dream recall from today's nap, random recall drop, hmmm...

I was in some indoors area.

Dream 1(fragment):

There was some story, according to dream it was pokemon related(Though i can't recall any actual pokemon). There were two anime-looking characters, a boy and a girl, and they were on a show of some kind. There was slot machine that they had to use for something, there was some talk about two realities and their 'pokemon storage' is full since they have caught all of them. They activate the slot machine and after a while floor below the girl disappears and she falls into the... sky? She hits the invisible floor and dies.
Then there's some kind of transition going on between two realities and they start talking in the second reality, can't recall about what exactly. They start flying and then there's transition back to first reality and the girl revives and flies out of the hole, she says that she knows the truth now. They talk that they have advanced to the next tier or something and then some old people come. The boy and the girl shortly fly out of the building. The flight continued over some grassy plains with wooden buildings and some castles.

Dream 2:

I was in some city with family and we were visiting some shop, in the shop i started playing some video game on the PC(Not sure where and how i have found it), then after that i was talking to some people about breads or something, we bought some but half of them were just like cardboard with a picture of bread, i gave them to some random person and we went out of the shop.
Family went somewhere in one direction but i went somewhere else and was exploring, then suddenly bandits assaulted the place, i was trying to find some way out but one of them stunned me from the behind. I decided that i don't want to use this way and activated the quickload to load the last save then went the different way.

Dream 3:

I was in Far Cry editor, i was flying around and i got random piece of terrain copied from somewhere, looking like a bunch of mountains. I copypasted it like 5 times with different rotations, i noticed small cave at the top and decided to check it out. There were interesting terrain formations in form of huge pipes, i thought that there should be an actual pipe in the level that i copied it from. I loaded the other level and there was still nothing. I realized that entities were hidden so i unchecked that and there was indeed a huge pipe and also an entrance to some kind of complex. Also there were some triggers set up for an cutscene so i decided to check that. I went into game mode and triggered it, it was about some mutant attacking the player character and then player character going into the complex through the door nearby. That triggered the level change which was some lab with mutants and red lighting.

Total sleep time: 6 hrs

Dream quality and recall: Dreams were vivid, dr2 was very long, reviewed in mind to commit to memory.

Fragment1: I had adopted the same avatar as checker and am wondering what people will think if we post one after the other

Fragment2: My mom insists on buying expensive gifts for one of her friends. I don't think she should.

WBTB: had a natural wake, decided to use as WBTB, was out of bed 6 mins, it was perfect, but when I came back, some kind of....nervousness took over, and I had trouble falling asleep for a long time. I really need to do something about my WBTB behavior.

Dream3: Me and bf are in an old but beautiful hotel. The room is very large, and later it turns to a huge apartment. I look outside, see some people arguing, decide I don't want to get involved, close the windows. It is late so I want to take a shower. I go to the bathroom but it is made all wrong and I start flooding the place. I turn the water off and go to look for the other bathroom, near the entrance, it is elaborately decorated . I also have a camera with me, to take a pic, but the camera is all wet, I try to dry it. I go to the other bathroom, but then the door to the apartment opens. We are sharing the place with other people, and they are coming in. I am naked, so run back towards our section and quickly close and lock the door behind me. We go to sleep.

Dream4 mini-LD: On the next day, my bf is leading me through some unknown streets in that city. We reach our destination. I notice some interesting things to eat, but we pass them by and enter a building. We go into a room, where a number of women are around the table and one of them is selling shirts. I don't want to buy any and just want to go out, and we get into a conflict with the woman. The women have totems on the wall, they begin praying and making strange movements with their hands as if casting spells. I close my eyes and inspect my energy field to check if everything is alright, also push a bit of energy forward to cancel out their influence.

I try to leave the room but it gets larger and there are more and more people inside they want to talk to me. I finally manage to go outside and enter the store where they sell the food, the man working there greets me in a foreign language. Those chocolate things are expensive, but look really nice. I end up ordering some ice coffee with something edible inside. The meeting of the people in the room is over, and everybody is now outside. They all pass by me, like a river of people, and I get a lucid-like feeling. They insist that I join them in an overcrowded car. I am in the car, annoyed with them and want to leave the car, but it is moving at a very high speed, so I decide to wait. I then notice that a bus nearby is driving really recklessly, destroying everything on its way. I figure this can only be a dream and become lucid. I think about how long this dream has been going, really very long, and I would really like to have some more fun. Then the dream fades and I am back in my real bed, eyes closed, lying on the right side. I am very awake and worried that I will forget the dream, so I remain absolutely still, reviewing with closed eyes, risky but didn't fall asleep or DEILD.

Comments: I am now a bit upset that I didn't become lucid earlier on. May have had a better chance to do some tasks. Yet, my dream self was happy!

I've always known about lucid dreaming, and always wanted to try it, so yesterday I took action and did some research on how to get started. The first sort of training things I started with were constant reality checks, like looking at the time, writing something on my hand, etc. The other route I took last night was simply telling myself I would lucid dream that night. I got partly there.

I had a dream I remembered, but only remembered a few parts. I was with my boyfriend in a place that looked like my back sidewalk to my house, but it was crowded with fair tents lined up I think. We were walking and I remember wondering if he had brought some things he said he was giving me in real life. (I didn't ask out loud, of course XD)

The only slightly lucidish part of this dream was my self-awareness. I knew I was watching a dream, and had even thought at a few points "I'm dreaming." I hope I'm not just being hopeful, and I'll continue with any dreams I may have.

Had a dream that I was Irene Adler and played out the whole episode "a scandel in belgravia"

There were a few more twists, like I was actually a sidekick of sherlocks instead of just her character...

it was fun...

I'm going to watch sherlock when I get home :B

Finally broke the the lucid length dry spell, thanks to the competition i guess.
Now need to improve dream control and work on my expectations...

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in some theater/shop place.

Dream 2(fragment):

Can't recall much of start of the dream, i was doing something at home and getting messages on skype from SilentEternity, then i went to continue the nap. I was trying to fall asleep but my legs were randomly moving into some positions, i eventually fell asleep. Then i woke up and was walking to somewhere, then fadeout.
I wake up again and take off headphones, i still hear binaurals so i am dreaming, the room is pretty accurate to waking life. I go towards the balcony door but it's closed, for some reason i decide against going outside this time, and i just start flying around inside, i feel the wings. Random thought comes to me to try to summon a dragon again, but nothing happens. I fly around the room in circles and each time furniture around changes, there are random tables, some food, vases, drawers, the time of day is changing between day and night as well randomly. While flying i decide to try transformation again, this time into one of the characters i thinked up for certain game, Scionox. I feel the change in my hands, i look at them and they are turned into kinda solid darkness, not exactly what i wanted but still success. They fade back to normal after a few seconds though. I do give it a few more tries but each try just reduced the number of fingers on my hands by one with no other effect.
Shortly i wake up, happy and then i wake up again and do an reality check, haha, false awakenings.

Pre bed: Green tea

Total sleep time: 9 hrs

Dream quality and recall: went to bed very late, deep sleep tonight, and recall was hard. I have been trying to recall the whole first dream all day long but with little success.

Fragment1 DILD: I am looking at a male person, concentrating on top of their head. I see a second more transparent double layer shining with color, I am so aware, lucid is an understatement. I get a great sense of understanding. There is a discussion and feelings of happiness from my side. I am also talking with PennyRoyal, he is one of my good buddies in the dream. It was very vivid, but I don't have much recall. My key impressions are positive feelings, knowledge and understanding. This was my first memorable REM or Non-REM? for the night.

Fragment2: Me and somebody else are about to catch a small plane. We are in front of a very small airport, but we need to get to the other part of the airport, we are looking at a map of the area.

brief natural wake, had the idea of writing down the previous dreams but was way too tired, thought I would remember it, so went back to sleep

Fragment3: FA, I wake up in my bed, grab the tablet and start writing down the dream with Penny. My bf is near me, watching what I have typed, I stop writing, I wake up.

WBTB: I wake up, this time jot down keywords, and spend 10 mins struggling to remember more of the dream. Reviewed tasks, but had the feeling this will be it for today.

Dream4: We are in some place with my bf with a blond guy, resembling a former classmate. While he is a total stranger, but my bf doesn't mind him spending the evening with us. We talk for a long time, he is slightly arrogant. The guy decides it's time to leave so he jumps from a bridge. I watch him vanish in the air instead of falling in the water.

Fragment5: Another attempt to remember the dream with Penny, but I am trying to recall during the dream itself. This time I see a water in front of me, it is a waterfall. I think the dream with Penny might have included Angel Falls, also get some feeling of happiness, yet cannot remember more even during the dream.

Fragment6: A new thread started by Xanos

Dream7: I am with my parents in a familiar place. I have the feeling this is the second dream in that place for today. We talk about something with my mom, and I decide to go to another room. I then go out. I feel much better now, by myself, on the street, there is a fence and obviously a zoo. A lot of people are there, I join them. I see a polar bear cub, and that people are actually going beyond the fence. I want to go to where the cub is so I also cross over and am inside the section with the animals.

I look to the other side and see now a brown bear cub, it is on its back, drinking a bottle of coke. I am with a friend of mine and I tell her that the zoo keepers will think that we gave the drink to the bear and be angry with us. I try to take the bottle of coke away from the bear, but I am taking its food, it is stressed now. I am afraid of its mother, which is a much larger polar bear. We are sitting on a couch with some DCs, when the mother bear comes. I try to think of a plan to escape, without attracting her attention. I think at that point she transforms into a DC, conveys the message that she wants us to leave her territory, so I ask the DCs that we go. They get up, we are leaving, and the mother bear DC is grateful.

Comments: It's been three days in a row that I have been dreaming animals, it is high time I begin to recognize this as a dream sign! Also, upon waking up don't forget to at least count fingers or do any RC, to take advantage of those FAs.

Accidentally fallen asleep while recalling, so eh.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was browsing dreamviews and there was some sort of discussion

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some video game(I think FPS) and i recall some blue-ish level

Dream recall from today's naps, got lucid at the end of REM again i think.

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall some indoor place and some talk.

Dream 2(fragment):

I wake up in my bed(the room looked almost exactly the same as in waking life), get up and walk around the room(Forgot to reality check ), then i wake up again, and i spontaneously realize that i am dreaming, but i wake up again, this time properly.

1:30am Fragment: Victorian Loose Woman Getting Drunk

Disclaimer: Both the drinking and the promiscuity is completely out of character for me, but I was not myself, so ...

I was not my self. This was set in the Victorian era. I had the sense that I was a fairly loose woman who had been with many men. in this scene I was in some sort of formal room with two finely dressed gentlemen. We had known each other before, but had lost track of one another, but had recently become reacquainted. One of the gentlemen was pouring vast quantities of alcohol from a bottle into my mouth, and I was drinking it up eagerly. I knew that I was going to have sex with both of them soon after, and I was becoming very aroused in anticipation.

Failed WBTB attempt:
2:15am WBTB intension - plan for next lucid dream: I will go back to sleep in a few minutes. I will remember to realize that I am dreaming. Is this a dream. When I become lucid, I will reality check and focus on my hands to stabilize, then I will get chocolate from my pocket and eat it. I will then turn around, find a door, know the Taj Mahal is on the other side, open the door, and then I will fly to the Taj Mahal or through it and out of it if I find myself in it when I step through the door.
Result: No lucid, just the following fragment.

Another fragment: work database related 6:30am I remember dreaming of a sample database. Also some questioning by my boss of how much it would cost DBAs to check who used the system when, and DBAS responded that it depends on whether the most competent DBA is given the task or the most incompetent that the price will be different.

Second failed WBTB This time all I did was write down the above fragment, and go to bathroom,and will try to WILD in a moment. Result: Couldn't fall asleep for a while but when I did, all I got was the following fragment.

Fragment: if delete something, would help dream? ok this fragment was either confusing computer and mind or using computer as analogy for mind. It suggested that if only I could delete something (don't remember what), is would help with my dreaming effort somehow.

I dreamt that i was at a farm and there were some very ornate wooden chicken hutches. I walked over to get a closer look, when suddenly i realised i was surrounded by hundreds of tiny little chickens, each no bigger than a piece of popcorn. I noticed that i had already been standing on them and i became very distressed. It seemed like they were magnetised to my feet and masses of these tiny little fluffballs crowded around me. As i tried to walk away i kept standing on more and more of them and they made this horrible crunching noise every time i took a step.
i felt really bad!

This was...interesting.
I was a pilot who was shooting at other biplanes when I crashed, but I didn't get hurt at all. I found myself in this field that seem to used to be a forest that was cleared out by shooting and bombing activites.
Anyway, the field was all ruined, with a few plants like strawberries and apples that were growing there were burnt or dried up.
Up ahead, I saw Hitler, with a small group of other girls. It seemed like they were trying to pick out whatever was still edible within these ruins. I turn around, and I see my general. He tells me to go stalk Hitler, and to get as close to him as I can. I look past the general and behind him was the whole United States army was hiding behind a hill, waiting.
I didn't want to do this job, but I did. I got so close to Hitler that my toes where touching where his heels were. But he didn't notice me. Suddenly he found an apple, still red and untouched. He picked it was smiled, he was very happy to have found it. He turns around, and continued smiling at me.
The group of girls had walked away, and he wasn't surprised that I was there with him. Then he walked away, and I stood there watching him.

I had this dream last year during the summer. It was one of the few dreams I had about stuff related to WW2 or about war in general.

Total sleep time: 7 hrs

WBTB: 1/2 cup matcha tea, almost out of it

Fragment1: A former classmate and something strange about his shoes

Natural wake, decide to use it as WBTB, drink some tea, total duration (7mins), was nicely tired and almost falling asleep but then it became too noisy outside, and also got a text message, so inappropriate for Saturday morning...insomnia for like an hour followed.

Dream2: In a familiar town, I am on the tram, the door is open, and I see an unpleasant ex-neighbor. She is running after the tram, trying to get on it, she also holds a cup of coffee. I try to help her, taking the coffee so she runs easier, but it spills. She gets angry and spills the rest of the coffee on me, decides not to get on the tram. There is another tram in front of us, facing the opposite direction. I look back inside, and examine myself, I wonder if I should change my clothes, but decide against it. People around are looking at me but with understanding, I was trying to help after all.

Dream3: I am in my room, I have something like a small terrarium with mice inside. It also had a lid, and the lid is gone now, a few mini mice jump out of there. I try to catch them and eventually succeed. I am slightly worried about catching a disease from the mice, so decide to wash them first, then put them back in this thing. It changes to a real terrarium and the mice are now guinea pigs. I think about feeding them, what do they eat, do I need to clean anything after them, ect. I look at a desk which on the wrong place, and see something like a bigger guinea pig, a bit more like a grey rabbit now. It seems that have escaped once again...I also notice a grey stuffed elephant and wonder where it came from, I come up with some fake memory that it is from my bf.

Fragment4: A very realistic FA, I am in our corridor, I hear the sound of running water, go to the bathroom and see the water is on. I become very concerned that I have forgotten it, water running all night long. ( This felt so real, and I was so sleepy, I am slightly questioning whether this happened irl, but most likely not because I didn't hear it during WBTB, crazy!)

Fragment5&6: FAx2, I wake up in the dream, go the restroom to pee. Looking a slightly different but very realistic each time, I wake up in my real bed. Then again. (Note for competition, while this is the whole dream, because it is short, I put it as fragment)

Comment: That was a bit strange, but also cool, I don't get many FAs. The tea is to blame, my bladder really was full.

Fragment7: The principal is cleaning up some of his things. I also participate, I see an old barbecue part that I want to throw away and some jars full of pickles, and one with minced meat that looked terrible.

Fragment8: My grandma is wearing a strange outfit, trying to gather things from trees. She tells me that my aunt wants to come by and sunbathe with us. I had other plans, but whatever.

Fragment9: A friend of mine and me are discussing clothes, he proposes that I go to a certain store, I have already been there, found nothing of interest.

Fragment10: I am finishing a cup of chocolate and look at the bottom. There is a chunk of cookie dough there, I wonder for a bit about it.

Goal for the rest of the day: I must DO ten RCs today, plus ADA (at least!)

4:20 am woke up, before I moved remembered a dream fragment, but lost it upon moving

Decided to do a WBTB attempt. Staid up about 20 minutes. Then had e hardest time falling back to sleep. Tried to WILD, gave up, tried to go back to sleep, almost gave up.

Next thing i know, I noticed that I am in our laundry room. I thought, "Ah, but I am not really in the laundry room. This is a dream. I bet if I open my eyes, I will discover, that I am in my bed." And so I did.

it was about 5:45 when I woke up.

Note to self: Great job becoming lucid! Congratulations! I am really fighting my desire to reprimand you for waking up stupidly like that. Next time we are lucid, let's stay lucid and not wake up, ok? So awesome job on recognizing dream, and next time I am dreaming I intend to stay in the dream.

Dream recall from today's nap.

I was playing some video game and there was outdoor area.
