dream fragment

A group of friends and I had just walked out of a convention center after attending a non-specific event, when I decided to hop up into a cross-legged position and levitate in mid air. It was as simple as that! The group I was with watched in amazement as I effortlessly floated through the air, accompanied by a low-hum levitation noise.

I floated towards a crosswalk and had to stop and wait for the "walk" sign to turn green, and noticed I was starting to bump and scrape the ground. Keeping the levitation going was a lot easier while mobile for some reason. The sign turned green and I scooted right along like some futuristic hover car from 'The Jetsons.'

On the other end of the crosswalk I came out into a wide, empty parking lot. It was here where I decided i wanted to pick up speed and fly. For a second a fear of falling out of the air and dying crossed my mind, but then I remembered I was in a dream and started to pick up speed. It's such an amazing sensation, feeling the air rush past your body, feeling the acceleration of some invisible force push you faster and faster! As I picked up speed, I started to unfold my body out into a superman formation and lift into the sky. Unfortunately, I only went a short distance before waking up. It sure was a refreshing way to wake up though!

I have been completely swamped for the past few days, but I've still been trying to remember my dreams and smoke less before going to bed. So here's what I got from the last four nights.

Feb. 18

I want to say that I took 50 mg of zinc a few hours before bed and 10 mg of melatonin at bedtime for this. I think it was this night....

Almost Like A Lucid.... [Non-Lucid]

This dream was long and I don't remember a lot of the build up to it, but I do recall that around when my memory comes in I had the perception that I was viewing something that had happened earlier in the dream again from a different perspective, like I had gone back in time to watch it. I'm not sure if this event had actually happened earlier or not, but it sure felt like it did. I was standing in front of a building in some downtown area watching a crowd of people walk through the front doors, and among them was the past me. I also saw this girl walking not too far from me and decided to possess her, but she got into the building before I could get up to her. I easily rewound time and caught her before she went in again and entered her body. Then I just kept walking into the building to see what all the fuss was about. The inside looked just like some kind of mini-mart like a 7-Eleven but maybe just a little bit fancier. As I walked around I started thinking about some imaginary superhero story I was apparently making, specifically in relation to the villain. I had an idea about how to start them out with something like mind reading or telepathy and move it up to body possession through some kind of power increase, but I can't remember exactly what it was now. At that point the dream became a little less vivid and I shot forward through the wall (smoothly phased) and started flying over the field I was next to, since this place was now a stop on a highway out in the middle of nowhere, and as I was admiring it I woke up.

Feb. 19

I'm fairly certain I took a 10 mg melatonin here, too.

#1 - I'm Sure He Can Handle It [Non-Lucid]

I was hanging out with my friend N when we somehow became aware of the fact that our mutual friend R (who I met N through) had been taken hostage somewhere. We were in a house that I believe somewhat resembles my aunt and uncles' old house from like fifteen years ago, but I barely remember it. I decided to call his cell phone to see if he could pick up, but his voice message had been changed to some guy with a really heavy British accent talking about how we had reached some kind of game development company or something. I tell N that he must have been taken hostage by British criminals who had changed his message so that they could pretend to be a legit company and no one would know to save him, and that we have to go rescue him right away, but added that "I still have a class to go to today. " I turned my head and saw a TV with a commercial playing in the corner of the room. The audio to it was talking about something along the lines of making your own robot, but all the video was showing was a guy wrapping himself in plastic and trying to mold it to make armor out of it. I instantly feel that R might've seen this commercial too and had the same idea, and so he may already have been able to escape on his own.

#2 - Lucid Dreaming Tutorial [Non-Lucid]

The main thing I remember about this dream is walking around the park by my house with my mom and coming across these kids, like three or four boys around eight to ten years old if I remember correctly. They asked me how to fly in a lucid dream so I showed them, though I did something totally different than I actually do in a lucid (which this was not), which was like this multiple jumping thing kind of like in a Mario game. Despite thinking that this was my normal routine, I could tell that it felt really odd as I was doing it, though I didn't know why. However, I still did manage to fly, but they didn't quite understand my method. I just told them I'd see them again some time and teach them more later on, because I guess I was busy at the moment.

#3 - Dream Fragment [Non-Lucid]

I was giving someone recommendations and tips about which Nippon Ichi Software game to play.

Poor Judgment Calls [Non-Lucid]

I didn't actually write this one down, so my memory of it is kind of faint now. Basically what I remember is that first I was at my house with my cousin K, then something involving Marona from Phantom Brave happened (I think she might have been my cousin at first that turned into her?), and then I was with JB, this guy I used to hang out with who was pretty sociopathic. We were in my room and my parents kept bothering us, and we were trying to get them to leave us alone so we could have sex (eep ). We never got them to go away before I woke up, though.

#1 - I Wonder What It Was.... [Non-Lucid]

The part of this dream before my recall really kicks in was at a store, but that's about all I can remember about it. What I do remember is being at a family party at my house, and everyone was gathered in the living room to congratulate this guy I don't recognize for doing something.... I'm not sure what it was, but I know that I felt that either I deserved it or at least he didn't deserve it, or something along those lines. I was being sort of rude and went to the kitchen to sulk alone because I couldn't stand to be in the room for all that, but at one point the guy came in and tried to make me feel better and I started just trying to get over it. My cousin A walked in and started saying something about these bowls of grapes and cherry tomatoes that were sitting on the counter by me and managed to squeeze some open and wear them on the tips of her fingers just to be funny, and then they sort of just absorbed into her fingertips and disappeared and she left. >___> I turned around and my friend M's mom was there too, for some reason (it didn't even look like her, I just perceived that that's who she was). She started telling me about where she grew up, but I don't recall anything she was saying. The dream sort of shifted as it was falling apart, and I got a third-person flash of a Facebook page where someone was telling this girl A that I met recently that she was beautiful and an inspiration to everyone, and then I woke up.

#2 - If Only This Worked In Real Life [Non-Lucid]

I was driving around with some random guy and Linkzelda, and I was trying to show the guy how to get to our imaginary school campus by following Link's directions. At one point we parked and me and the random guy got out of the car at this apartment complex, and this guy who I somehow immediately knew was Jewish came up to us begging for help. He had a gun and said he had run out of bullets for it and was being chased by a group of people, and there was some situation with more guns in an apartment upstairs. The guy that we were showing the campus decided to be a hero and ran off to that upstairs place, and the Jewish guy ran off frightened as he saw the group of people coming after him again. At that moment I realized that they might see me if I'm not careful, so I started whispering to myself "I'm not here, I'm not here...." and getting into a meditative state. I dropped the perception of my body and started floating up away from the scene, but then I looked down at one of the guys running by and got sucked into his body. The dream jumped around a little and I was in some hazy perception of something about a guy and some really attractive woman with guns, but it's so blurry that I can't really recall what was going on now.... And that's the last thing that happened before I woke up.

Final thoughts.... I'm noticing a definite increase in the amount of dream control techniques I employ in non-lucids these days. And it's not just from the examples shown here, it's been happening more and more lately. I wonder if it's because of the way I try to drop awareness in lucids anyway and just run with it; maybe I simply recognize the similar state of mind and use it without acknowledging what it implies?

Frags:

• While standing in line to visit a tourist location, some of my new acquaintances who speak the local language explain to me some of the jokes being told by the people around us.

Frags:

• My class is taking a tour, but because of a schedule change, we have to wait in a church for two hours while there's a service going on.

Frags:

• I'm getting hardcore teased by my classmates. I feel mortified. The situation's so stressful that it's literally a nightmare, and I have to wake myself up to escape.
• "sex in locker room"
• I look in the mirror to find that my hair's been tye-dyed with pink and blue. It looks pretty cool. I conclude it must have been my new shampoo that did this without my realizing.

Frags:

• kissing one of my classmates (who IRL I've recently taken an interest in . . .)

Frags:

• "hot dogs -> floor; my sister pays; packing"

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall something about headache...

Dream 2(fragment):

I recall something about some kind of book

Dream 3:

There was some area that i was exploring with some people that were some of my classmates from the past and some cartoonish characters. The area itself was grey, industrial-looking. At certain points the view was switching to another myself who was apparently switching traps on, so i guess i was the creator of this place or something. There was one moment where people had to jump down the tube to the floor below and at the point most of people were falling thru the tube i switched to the trap-controlling myself and activated the switch that removed the floor and exposed lava below it, thus screwing most of people up. Though some found a way around that, i especially recall someone summoning some sort of plane.
Later on i came to the end of area with the bunch of people who were survived, and we were apparently about to attack the enemy base. I had some time to select weapons and equipment and when i opened my inventory it was full of stuff. There were weapons, ammo, power items, though the only items i can recall in detail were the white assault rifle, which i had a few exemplars of for some reason(maybe picked up from people who died to traps earlier on?), so i had to drop some of them to clean up the inventory, and also there were two red battery things that according to tooltip added '10% defense' per one when added to upgrade slots, which i had 5 of, i decided to use both of them along with 3 other upgrade items. Also it was confusing to clean up the inventory because i had some slots having only a single bullet in them, and those bullets were for weapons that i did'nt even had...
Either way we went to attack the enemy base, but my recall goes downhill at this point, for the most part i recall that i was mostly shooting the enemies with the white assault rifle, which was shooting slow white projectiles. Later on i was talking to some mechanical transforming thing(i am not sure but it may have been 'Ice Element') and suddenly music of my IWL alarm started playing and there was credits roll synced to that music somehow. Dream ended shortly.

Cheating
All I can remember was this fragment. I was part of this race with a bunch of other people. We each got to pick the vehicles, which varied from normal cars to futuristic hover cars and even weird biological vehicles. Each car had two people in it. As the race began, my partner and I had picked a normal vehicle. But it became apparent to us that we weren't going to win the race and were near last place after the first few laps. We jumped into a hover vehicle that acted as an air glider so long as we didn't stall it out by flying upwards. With this vehicle, we found an exploit in the track that allowed us to go from the beginning portion straight to the finish line by flying upwards and landing just right on the track above us. This allowed us to catch up with the pair in first place and beat them.

Conclusion
This was a neat little fragment I remember. I don't know if it was significant in the dream later on though. Oh well.

I was playing Leaugue of Legends, but then in virtual reality mode. Someone came to kill me but I freeze him in solid ice and throw him in a nearby trashcan. He breaks out and attacks again but I just freeze him again and throw him back in, which was pretty amusing.

I walked around with rut, in a house, it appeard abandon, we found a smal room, with stairs, pritti steep, i or she wanted to look if there is something to find... / she explains to my whay it as, that we cant be together, a lot of reasons, i remember that it was something about money... and she also sad things, which i did not agree with, so i told her....

----

i laying in a bed, with a jeune girl, her parents where in the other room, she wanted to make love to me, it was in the morning, i knew, i would come right away, so i wanted to kiss her, i really liked her, then her parrents called, she wanted to go away with me, but her parents didn't allow that, for me, that caused no problem, but she was a bit pissed, finally it was o.k, so i think

DR 3pm
I'm at grammas. (Seems like every second dream is at grammas lately).
I got into altercation with someone, but I really didn't do anything. So I'm getting dressed, because police will be there to get me any moment now.

It was longer, but I didn't get up after it ended, went back to sleep. Had pretty good feeling from this dream.

I remember being a pony from MLP...I had a race or some crap, and I lost. I was blaming it on my new form. Like I evolved or some crap. I was purple, and I ended up getting wings......I don't watch this damn show, so I'm trying to figure out where the hell this came from.

Now I'm with my family and we're about to play basket ball. I figure if I get my one bro on the team, it'll be over with.

I also had a dream about fighting a mouser from ninja turtles. Well I started out chasing some bad guy and cuffing him. Dude had some weird glowing blue eyes. He's making these threats about how he's going to get me back. The mouser comes out and I'm fighting it with a bo staff. It wouldn't die.

I had to get up a little bit earlier in the morning, so i didn't have much time to remember my dreams.

I remembered that i walked into the room of my parents, my mother was already to work and i woke up my dad, that was turned with is back to me (precisely the same as when i was searching for the car keys when i actually did get up and was awake :p)

I know that there was something more that i dreamed, but i forgot what is was (when i was still in bed, snoozing, i remembered it)

Alright, here's my first dream that I will be recording on this website.

Technique: SSILD

Lucid?: Well, kinda...

The dream began with me falling down through some sort of portal. It was blue and I could see a bright white light at the end of it. It seemed to last for a while and it was very exhilarating. I don't remember exactly how I transitioned to the next part of the dream.

I then found myself in a place that I have very creatively dubbed
'The Red Realm', because it was all, well, red.
The landscape was desolate and ruined. There were ruins of castles and villages scattered around the place. The only signs of life were various red medieval style tents erected here and there.

The only DC I encountered seemed to be a native of the realm. She looked like some sort of demon, almost like a succubus. However, me in my infinite bloody wisdom and experience decided not to try to converse with her.

I don't really know what else to say as it was a pretty short dream, but it was still cool nontheless. I shall try to re-enter the realm the next time I dream,
Perhaps by travelling/falling through the portal again. Hopefully.
