dream fragment

Dream recall from today's naps. A bit of improvement in the length of lucid, on the way back to proper length.

Nap #1(fragment):

I was talking about something in dreamviews chat and then SilentEternity came online on skype and i was surprised that he was online so early. Then i got up and took off headphones, i noticed that binaural beats were playing and also dad was in the room, i said 'Nope' and he disappeared, then i was tried summoning but my view got weird and dream shortly faded out.

Nap #2(fragments):

I was playing some Doom-like game, but the levels were based on some places from waking life, i had some problem with one level in forest park.

Saturday, Jan 19th:

One of the dreams involved Ponies. Fluttershy was left behind, So Rainbow Dash and Applejack (Who now had wings, Not unlike a fanfic I read) Went to get her despite Fluttershy being in a place where the land had flown off from where the rest of the Ponies were.

Friday, Jan 26:

I was in the garage and the truck's cab was longer, Like a van. A hefty woman was there and perhaps someone else was there. Morphine's "The Saddest Song" Started playing.

Date: May 10, 2013
Method: MILD & WBTB
Total Sleep Time: 8 hours (bedtime 1:00am-5:00am) WBTB (7:00am-8:00am), then slept from about 8:00am-11:00am
Category: Dream, Dream Fragment, & Non Lucid (again )

Dream Fragment: I was in a store looking for clear duct tape and had a hard time finding it. I found duct tape with solid colors, duct tape with patterns, duct tape with several colors, duct tape with pictures, but no duct tape that was clear. I believe I needed the duct tape to ship a package (I am currently in need of clear duct tape to ship a package in real life, so I guessed that is why I was dreaming about it).

Dream #1: Dreamed I was at some sort of football practice or physical fitness event. Football players were doing some sort of routine and they needed the football player’s wives to participate (I think I was a football players’ wife). Anyway, some of the wives were teamed up with football players that were not their husbands and some wives were replaced with professional football cheerleaders to do the routine with the football players. The wives were very upset and jealous over this because the (dance?) routine required the football players to really hold, grab, grope, and touch their partners .

Dream #2: I had a dream last week of seeing my niece and her child (I haven’t seen them in a couple of years). In the dream from last week, I was able to see the child in great detail, I haven’t see the child since she was born, but in that dream, the child was at least 2 y/o and had her hair in two huge ponytails and was wearing a little dress with flowers as the pattern on her dress. In my dream from last night, I was with my niece and her child and at that very moment, I remember saying to her, “Hey, I dreamed this scene last week! I saw this exact scene in my dream from last week! The baby IS wearing her hair in two huge ponytails AND the baby IS 2 years old! I was right!” In my dream, my niece just looked at me like I was crazy and said, “Oh.” At that moment, I should have become aware/lucid that I was dreaming, but sadly, I didn’t and I woke up…I thought I was really talking to my niece about the dream I had .

Note to self: Focus on your awareness…how clear does a dream sign have to be for you to become lucid ?????[/COLOR]

I was playing some helicopter game(I think it was Army Men Air Attack, a game from my looooooooong past before i even had a PC), and my helicopter was apparently armed with Dyson Gatlings from AI War somehow, it was pretty powerful. Later part of the game turned out to be more of an FPS or TPS.
After that game i was in dreamviews chat and then i went to play some AI War.

Fragment #1

i was outside a building, which, when looking back, i think was some sort of mental asylum. someone who i guessed to be a patient there was outside being interviewed by a news presenter, and thats all i remember.

Fragment #2

this time i was by the entrance of the same building, just on the other side of some huge brick walls. the patients were beginning to step outside, but a crowd of people outside the gate forced them back in. i remember arguing with a woman through a gap in the gate

the date of these dreams was 9th may 2013/ early morning of 10th may

im unsure if these are 2 fragments, because i dont remember anything between these 2, or about my transition from the outside of the walls to the inside, or if its all 1 dream because the setting was the exact same

I was at some concert(Muse, I think) and we were setting up. I had to be on stage pretending to be a fangirl. Don't know why.
I had to make a questions and answer video for them to play at the concert and my assistant was some little girl. Since she was so little, she sucked at making videos, so I pretty much did it myself. I woke up before I could finish.

Pre bed: Brain multi vit

Result: vividness plus sleepiness, emotional dreams

WBTB: fail, no tea, no menthol

Recall method: none

Fragment1: two guys that are dreamers meet. It seems that all three of us have great self-control and understanding.
mood: positive

Dream2: I am in my old neighborhood, now go into some strange house where I am good friends with the DC owner. There is like a gathering of people, my mom's friends, some classmates that I don't like etc. For some reason, I begin teasing them and they react very aggressively. Everybody is looking at me, shouting at the same time, there is heavy tension and hatred? The DC guy is the only friendly person in the room, and I worry that he will be forced to join the group of aggressive DCs.
mood: aggression in the air

Later on I go to his room, there are two beds in the room, he is sharing the room with his sister but I notice only one desk. There is another room, where he was born, so they are keeping it for the next generation. My father is also there.
mood: inquisitive

In another part of the house, later on. The DC is now somebody I know, and I make him happy. I am concerned about doing the whole thing, but it is too late.
mood: sexual

Fragment3: One of our guests who initially insisted the bedsheets are dirty and disgusting now tells me that we only need to sprinkle them with water and put them back. I disagree and tell her that she contradicts herself. This leads to a scandal and there is more tension in the air.

Comments: OK, I have completely ruined it today. I told myself yesterday, I make a plan in the evening, then have the discipline to follow my plan, no matter what my mood is during WBTB. Why oh why did I turn off the alarm clock and went to bed, when the plan was to have some tea before that? A little bit of wakefulness was exactly what I needed! I really have to get more serious about the WBTB, only once in a week is a true fiasco!

And another reminder: every time there is sexual attraction to another guy, at least do RC, chances are this is a dream!

Oh, anyways....feed your brain multivitamins make for a neurotic personality it seems.

Tried WBTB after 5 hours of sleep, but couldn't do it properly because my brother had trouble getting back to sleep after waking up, so I didn't want to disturb him. Soon enough I lost conciousness and started dreaming, I can't recall most of it but I remember talking to some girls from my high school.

After that lots of waking up in my REM cycles and lots of new dreams. I attempted a WILD in one of those occasions but I wasn't focused enough on my mantra and I fell asleep, again, to internal dialogue and thoughts. Dreamt about my dad and me having to check on a dead body of some old person thought to be my neighbour. His wife was playing dead in the body bag with him, I noticed her breathing and exposed her. I cursed aloud about how could she do this and that we could have gotten arrested for murder because they would have seen she died of choking and not heart attack like her husband.

After that a dream about some sisters. The younger one had short blonde hair, hated studying and going to school, and the older one had longer hair and was determined to be a business woman. Fast forward about 20 years later the older sister is working as a director in a school and her younger sister is working as an accountant in the same school, constantly complaining about something namely the kids constantly bothering her about something because someone that did that job had been replaced or something. There is a lot more backstory to this but I can't recall it. I also remember looking at my phone and it had damaged edges like they've been scrapped off.

So to sum it up had a lot of NLD's. Most of those were around 6-8 hours of sleep. I think I can afford to plan my further WBTB attempts at 6-7 hours into sleep. I will also place my phone by the bed so I have something to do instead of standing up during WBTB, it's not the best option but it will have to do. Cheers!

Dream recall from today's naps.

There was some kind of story about a spy that was helping to set up rebellion and there were soldiers in red uniform that were talking using some language, may have been arabian.

Waiting

It's more of a fragment than anything else, but what I do remember is that it the overall setting had a golden ambient light (no doubt due to the afternoon sun shining through my blinds). I was traveling with a group of friends in a sparsely populated town, most being dream characters. I was standing out on a platform with them waiting for a tram of some sort when one of them remarked something along the lines of "We still have to wait for [some name I can't remember]". My memory jumps from this to meeting another person who asks me to assist them in helping them find someone. I agree and search a building where they were last seen, but before I find them I wake up.

Date: 7 May

During day: Re-energized by consuming lots of fruits

Pre bed: 3mg melatonin

WBTB duration: 16 mins, woke myself too much, hard time falling back asleep

WBTB: 2x peppermint oil tablets (200mg each)

Recall method: Woke pen-noted an almost illegible description during WBTB for Dream2, briefly reviewed in mind when back to bed

Fragment1: A large spider and then other insects, one was like a bee, I am trying to kill them, smashed them successfully

Dream2 DILD: My father has given me the task of preparing some kind of report for him. I am browsing in a chemistry textbook with different substances and after each substance there is a lengthy regression. My father wants a list of the substances only, which I don't think is right. He is annoyed that I am so slow and still not ready. I move on and jump over some furniture and see my grandma. I begin to explain that the regressions are the most important part in this report.

I continue on my way, and now am in something similar to a trailer with a friend of mine. Obviously she is keeping some items of mine there, one carton box with my stuff, that I want to take on my way. We talk about something. I notice that there is a wounded cheetah on the table. Actually there is no sign of wound but I know it is tired. I play with its tail, and caress it. It purrs and gently rubs its soft head and body on my hand. It is very enjoyable for both of us. I discuss the cheetah with someone, pointing out that it is the fastest creature on earth.



I then move on, I find myself in another place and someone tells me that my friends, and lists a number of people I supposedly know, are dead in another part of the city. Obviously machines have taken over the city and are destroying it. I look outside the window and see construction machines falling into an abyss. I have a bit of a paranoia from the machines because I know that they will soon come to destroy this part of town. I become desperate and say something like " I am so tired of such situations when I think that I am dreaming, but I am not, later it is a dream, then it is not!". I decide it is time to leave the place, and walk out a door. I notice a coca cola label sticker, but there is a poem on it. Perhaps I should leave something behind, I wonder, but there really is no point.

I am going to fly scout the area, to see if the machines are still in that part of town. I stretch my hands horizontally, like a cross, and then lift off in this position. I have good control of my movement this time, but still flying too high is a bit of challenge, it has to do with the vision of the ground below me.

It is hard to look down and perceive the flight distance and control the flight at the same time, but I fly in the direction that I desire. I am also lucid at this point. At above skyscraper height, I fly now forward, over an area with some water, HK in my mind, and look for a place to land. I have completely forgotten about the machines. Then the word "tasks" emerges in my mind and I remember I have work to do. For a second the thought crosses my mind that I may not have the time to do any tasks, but then answer myself that DV people won't mind that because I still had a good time flying.

As I land, I feel some kind of a string release me, I am then on the ground. I look at the DC in front of me. He is rather unpleasant but I accept this, his faces changes and he is now more beautiful and smiling. There is a DC woman to my left, but I pay little attention to her. I think at that point I may have had the gut feeling that this dream is coming to an end, and decide to stabilize before starting on any tasks. I remember to shout something and it feels a bit more stable. Then I throw myself on the ground, feel it as much as possible with my hands, little stones, etc. and as if that isn't enough, I decide to lick the ground. I also lick some kind of trash a blue thread, it tastes like rubber. I find this last part disgusting and decide to spit out. Saliva comes out of my mouth and at that moment I feel my physical lips moving. Before I have any time to react I find myself in my bed, still with my eyes closed, but very aware of my physical body. I feel there is no point to DEILD so I head for the journal.

Note: This wake was a few minutes before the WBTB alarm. I decide to use this wake as WBTB, take notes, visit restroom, wonder whether I should try the menthol tablets, have two tablets. The whole thing takes about 16 mins but I am too awake as I go back to bed. I wonder what to do from here...I decide I might cycle a bit to help me sleep but as I start with sight my mind shuts down and I begin drifting off, while still having awareness of my body. I cannot do even one cycle. It may sound like a good state to do WILD, but it isn't that good. I spent one hour in a semi-conscious borderline state where I occasionally saw and withdrew from dreamlets, yet wasn't dreaming, but rather laying there half-aware of my body and fully aware that I can't fall asleep. The tablets or the earlier wake gave me mild heartburn as well. I finally managed to fall asleep but then it was time to get up...

Dream3 mini-lucid: Together with some guys, this time we are on a flying machine, initially like a retro airplane, I am trying to control its movements, but it is hard. We are going to a conference related to technology, and approaching a block where this is taking place. I see a parking place for flying machines and land this now spacesuit? there. I hope nobody steals it while we are away. I look for number ten part of the building, we must be really close. There is also a McD in the building, which explains why there are so many people around. To my left is Justin Bieber, I am moderately happy. I am lucid for a very short while thinking about the peppermint oil tablets I took and whether they affect my experience. The alarm wakes me up.

Note: Happy about the first lucid, despite the fact that couldn't do any tasks. I feel this was at the end of the early more memorable REM cycles. The second lucid was very short so I am not including it in my count.

right guys here is my first DJ entry, sorry its short. btw i was lucid for a couple of secs in this

Ill start with the lucid bit. Im not sure whether this did happen first but the memories of last nights dreaming aren't too good

anyway, for the few seconds i was lucid, all i remember was doing a RC (stuck my fingers through my hand) and then tried to walk, them fly through a wall

as for the rest of the dream, i was in some restaurant type thing and it was apparently someone's birthday

that is all i can remember, im a bit annoyed my first entry in this is so short but its all i can think of

btw, this is my 2nd post of this, sorry

Date: 8 May

Total sleep time: 8 hrs

Recall method: key words only

Pre bed: Q10, probiotics, valerian

WBTB: set for later than yesterday but I was feeling very sleepy so decided to skip

Fragment1: I am doing biceps curls, it feels great. I look at myself from a distance and see well-shaped arms. I keep on doing the curls, I wake up.

Fragment2: Grandma tells me my aunt is now unemployed

Fragment3: A former classmate

Fragment4: I am making matcha tea

Dream5: My tooth has fallen out and I am talking to the dentist's assistant. I am holding pieces of my tooth in the hand and they form a whole tooth. I have the desire to put it back in my mouth. I want to book an appointment but she tells me it is not necessary. I just should not take B-complex for my tooth, and instead use some kind of liquid to gargle. (That could have made a good Tooth of month bonus task, but if it was up to me I wouldn't do it again!)

Dream recall from today's naps. I dunno what's up with dream length recently, maybe just bad REM timing or something.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was doing something at home then i went to bed. After a while i suddenly start having weird sensation, i open the eyes but before i can do anything else i wake up.

Dream 2(fragment):

I wake up and i am thinking about something then i take off headphones, still hearing binaural beats, thus realizing that i am dreaming, but dream fades out.

Dream 3(fragment):

I wake up and take off headphones, binaural beats still playing so i am dreaming, i get up and rub hands but suddenly the view goes weird and i can't move, dream fades out.

Dream 4:

I was in my bed trying to fall asleep, but suddenly dad came into the room and started making alot of noise walking around and annoying me. I pretended to be asleep but he started trying to wake me up saying something about windows. He then left and i opened eyes, there were alot of windows in the room, all open. Then dream ended.

I was playing AI War and it was somewhat different, firstly there was only one planet and secondly battles were happening at much smaller scale. It was also multiplayer campaign(Can't recall who i was playing with, but most likely SilentEternity). We had a few powerful ships and out objective was to protect the base and some mining operation, there were also some huge metallic constructions in background and the game was somewhat switching between
2D and 3D. I was placing alot of turrets(which were the only objects that looked similar to actual game) around but they were not powerful enough to stop much enemies and we had some problems later on, but in the end we built some really overpowered starship which nuked most of the enemies.
Then i was talking about the game in the dreamviews chat and people really liked it, especially JiGGa_JuStIn apparently. Then there was some talk about powering something using false awakenings or something like that( ).
