Non-dream Dream

I can only recall a couple of words to describe my dreams: car race and grocery store.

Dream - Lucid

I was in a dark house, and the mood was kind of solemn and troubling, but nothing intense. I remember my brother being there, but that's all I can recall.

This is sad. I used to be able to recall every dream in pretty good detail. I guess we all go through ups and downs with this stuff though, right?

Dream - Lucid

All I can recall is walking outside on a sidewalk on a sunny day seeing tons of broken bird eggs scattered all over the ground. A voice said it was a dangerous time for birds. It was dangerous because all the bird eggs were hatching, so the baby birds were in danger of falling from the nests.

I only remembered snippets of my dreams last night. I get the impression that there was a bit more happening while I dreamt but, perhaps that didn't pass into my conscious mind

First, I just remember there being a large pokemon (Carracosta), standing on the common near my house. In itself, this isn't particularly surprising, since Carracosta is one of the pokemon I'm using in my current game.
Only it was massive, way bigger than that thing is normally supposed to be. It would have dwarfed the biggest oak tree nearby, if I had been imagining it (I think there was just the idea of the common, none of the fine details of it.)

Viewing in the third person, as if a spectator, I remember a large book being held up against the enormous creature. It was bound in navy-blue. I'm not sure whether it was me holding it up, and I was having an out-of-body-experience, whether it was someone else or even if the book was just floating there of its own accord.

Then, what I can only describe as a gigantic, food-based laser (actually kind of looked like brown vomit ) came out of the book and went through Carracosta. If the Pokemon reacted to this strange attack, I don't remember it. I assume the dream 'crashed' after that.

Later, I remember being a child version of myself, playing with a toy train set. I get the impression that the there was something good inside the carriages but I have no idea now what it was, or even whether I did know back then. I remember my mum sitting nearby with another woman, presumably a friend of hers. They were discussing dreams - I think some of the dialogue might have been borrowed from the IRC chat last night. My mum was saying over and over that dreams were important, but that you should alwayshave a methods to escape from them.

Man, this dream stuff is just chock-full of 'if's and 'whether's!

I haven't updated my journal in a while. The following dream happened this morning on the 10th August.

It was early in the day, and as it turns out, a French citizen who Patrick Geryl, a 2012 survivalist partnered up with, was going off to Israel.

Friday morning. I'm browsing through the Barometer Bob show. It turns out that the host was ill the previous night, and so one viewer comments on the Stormchat group on Facebook, "I wasn't planning on this".

Well, I'm back at my high school now. Apparently this was a school day in the middle of summer, and I'm talking to this girl about something I saw on twitter the other day.

"Say, did you hear about that article?"

"What article?" she says, apparently full of interest.

"That one about the fact that apparently, psychiatrists will suspect that you're a psychopath if you don't have a Facebook account!"

"Really? That's pretty funny!"

Now, I don't know what it was about this particular conversation. Maybe it's the fact that I never talked to her much, or that she was originally planning on majoring in psychology, or even the school she's going to. But something about the talk makes me wonder whether she really liked me. Whatever it was, she looked awfully beautiful that morning.

FOSSIL FOUND IN ORDOVICIAN ROCK

Somewhere around this time there's a discovery made of a large vertebrate fossil near Udora, Ontario, about 30 km NE or ENE of a town called Newmarket. We find the specimen neatly preserved in igneous rock.

This doesn't make any sense. Much of Southern Ontario was covered by seawater during the Ordovician, meaning that nearly all the rock would be limestone, not volcanic. And there weren't a lot of vertebrates to speak of.

I'm compelled to write a fairly comprehensive Wikipedia article, and it turns out to be quite long as well.

Back in Israel, I'm visiting a special agency website. As it turns out, it's offering a journalism job to "entrepreneurial Facebook users", whatever that meant.

Somehow, I'm back at my high school again, attending a graduation convocation for band students in the music room who will be leaving for the year. Someone gives out between three and ten tips for future students, and they're quite worth paying attention to.

Start out in the middle of target, (think I've had a dream about buying videogames at target before) and my dad and I just fill our cart with random obscure and formless items. Then I go over to the shoes section and put some American Eagle socks in the cart.

Obscure dream about an aircraft carrier type ship that covered about 3/4 of the atlantic ocean. I think it was intended to be some giant artificial country.

I was at the headquarters of some giant company, looked like the designs for the new Apple HQ, I was doing some sort of volunteer work. At some point I got hired. I remember a theme of suspicion. Someone was up to something evil there, and the whole dream I was just sort of snooping around.

Hello everyone. I am very new to lucid dreaming, and have only encountered one at the age of four, at which time i didn't understand the possibilities of the experience.

I will be attempting LD from tonight, but last night i had a dream and thought I may as well post it:

I was seeing the scene in a third-person perspective, and there was an unidentified insect (which I knew was me) being verbally punished for something (though I can't remember what it was), and suddenly a wooden door opens and I see Hitler with a look of shock on his face, and a large green "ant" (In the dream I identified it as an ant, though it was green and had a six-pack) was on his shoulder, doing the "win stance" that Bolt did once he won his event in this year's Olympic games.

Note: It feels like a nightmare now, though it didn't feel like a nightmare in the dream.

Somehow I discussed with my friends about gregarious animals. If these animals were attacked, they would keep together. Somehow I thought it would be better for many situations to disperse e.g. if the animals would attack something.
I don't know who mentioned it, but we thought about this situation in computer games. Actually this system would be reversed: If a group of creatures would be attacked they would not stay together because the enemies could cause splash damage. And if they would attack someone they would stay together.(I did have an argument for this one but I don't remember it)

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1: (actually a bunch of random fragments)

I am bowling then I am in some kind of race. My wife's name is spelled wrong and someone is making fun of it.

Dream 2:

I am driving and CG is crossing the street at Hilgard and Le Conte. My car keeps getting stuck and I wish I had a 4WD car.

Dream 3:

I am looking at a DNA gel. There are 3 lanes on each side of the gel, each representing a different person. I track the gel over time and the bands start multiplying and burst into colorful patterns.

Dream 4:

I am in a 1600 meter race against my wife and some other people. I am in 2nd place and she is in 3rd. Towards the end she takes off but lets me win at the end. I end up with the gold and she gets the silver.

I also recall having a lucid dream but I don't remember the details. I just remember staring at my hand for a long time to stabilize the dream.

It was the first day of school. Location: movie theater. All my anxiety was relieved; I had the same friends with me. The same friends that in my dream world, I was so excited to see and interact with, in waking life I have no recollection of who they are. I just remember the feeling of relief that they brought to me, once I realized they were with me. I also had the saw a teacher from last year Ms. dr3am sign! But of course, I didn’t catch on. She made a joke to this idiot I went to school with. Initials BS. She asked if he “always whispered?” sarcastically. He was screaming at his almost-touching friends. I watched her and pretended to laugh, so she wouldn't be crushed. Then BS says ya or some shit like that. Now, I remember one of my “friends”. If I was lucid, I would have expected her to be a dream guide. So friendly, and I felt like I’d known her forever. She was a black woman with short hair and kind of chub. Said something about how I used to be so bad, and all the fun times we had together. I shook my head, pretending I remembered wth she was talking about. Next thing I know the group is in a local Walgreens. Laughing at what others are saying, when I spot Ms. looking at me. My initial thought was “she must think I’m a psychopath, the way I’m smiling.” So I get busy, quick. I tried to buy those chocolaty coins, but they were all opened. I ask the clerk and she said they were opened. I can’t help but wonder what that chocolate would have tasted like, what that taste may have initiated for me. After we finished, I started rapping, I guess. All I remember is being with his little kids and shaking Jaden’s hand and hugging Willow. Very weird, but each time I finished performing, I would check back on Ms. L for approval.

Nothing much to report here. I dreamt of the titanic. I was excited but only saw the boat so didnt get to complete task. I also saw a friend who waved to me and I waved back. Didn't get to Lucid dream. I went to bed exhausted that night maybe that's why I didn't Lucid dream.

Dream - Lucid

Something about a murderer and a ship at sea. The ship had three of the killer's victims on it, two men and one dark-haired woman, all middle-aged, but they weren't dead, just slashed, stabbed, and tied up. I think the woman and one of the men were actually not only victims, but the killer's parents as well. All three had knife wounds, but one's wounds were on a different part of the body than the other two's. I also want to say the one with the wounds in a different place was in worse shape than the other two.

The ship sank in a storm, and we were all worried about the stabbing victims, but I knew they were going to die. They couldn't survive this being bound and wounded. I remember talking to at least one of them when we were all floating in the stormy sea, and I remember seeing one or two of them die. It was inevitable, though; they had no chance of survival.

I remember something about my friend Mandy being in this dream. I was in a crowded room with many other people, and I saw her walk by, and one of the other people in the room that was standing close to me said her full name, just acknowledging that they knew who she was.

I know there was more to this dream than what I can recall, but I just didn't sleep very soundly last night. The room was way too hot, as seems to be the trend lately. Oh well, after typing it out, I recalled some details I had forgotten at first. Maybe I'll remember more as the day goes on.

I'm copying this from my Workbook. I'm trying to get back in the habit of writing things down as I get ready for Matte's competition.

So last night I had three very long dreams. All of them had something to do with the forum or the forum members and lucid dreaming.

I recall one involving me sending a forum member into a moving vehicle in front of me to induce lucid dreaming in the truck (think it was a truck) and suddenly the vehicle exploded, bodies flying every which way. It was weird because the bodies seem to fly up and then fall rather realistically and the whole thing reminded me of a patchwork of elements I've seen on various documentaries and news reports.

It was the act of trying to induce lucid dreaming that caused the truck to explode. Not sure what what means.

When I woke each time I could recall being in a lengthy dream and some of the events that happened. The visuals are fairly easy to recall but examining them in hindsight produces only vague impressions. It's a weird mix of recall and lack-of-recall.

Think I need more sleep. I haven't been getting enough rest this week and when I lie down I see lines of text scrolling past my eyes, just like chat.


As for the most vivid object...it was small, round, perhaps two inches across. I believe it was a Happy-Meal toy, the bottom of which had a space slightly smaller than the diameter of the circular base in which I was placing another object. There were three cutouts on one side and I was able to fit a small object (a disc or coin, perhaps a watch face of some sort) into the base with the buttons (?) lined up with the three cutouts. I knew they didn't belong together but it felt like they were made for each other. I examined it for a while. The light was bright and reflecting off the object, shining occasionally into my eye. The toy was a lime-green plastic along the base and the fitting object was yellow.

I seem to have a lot of moments like that. Often they become a trigger for lucidity or I'm already lucid by the time I'm examining the object or scene. I think this stems from my general nature of being a hyper-aware person.

I should write all this in my dream journal but I feel like relaxing for a bit before sleep.

Tonight will be the third night in a row in which I haven't had enough sleep. Tomorrow will likely be the fourth. [sigh]
