Dream 1 - non lucid (2.30am)
I am in the front of some sort of lorry driving across America. In the front with me is a stranger, the driver (who is also a stranger) and a TV reporter. I think I have been picked up - hitchhiking. The TV reporter asks us all what we are doing, and where we are going. I am second to reply, and I state I don't know, I'm just going where life takes me. Lot's of people laugh, but the reporter is not impressed.

Dream 2 - non lucid (4.33am)

Before this dream, I had attempted the SSILD during the WBTB. I think I preferred my traditional WILD method, as I got bored and didn't feel relaxed enough.
I am staying in the middle of the African wilderness. I think it may be some sort of educational thing. I sleep in a hammock, with other people. Nearby there is a tree, and hanging from the tree are many fat, feathered green birds. They are all suspended by their necks, which are tangled in the tree's vine-like leaves. I am worried the birds are choking (there is many birds like this in the tree) but someone tells me they are not. They explain that these birds are very rare, existing only in this tree. The spend their entire lives hung by the neck, trapped in the tree. They also tell me they have a unique way of reproducing. I watch the bird closest to me - it is roughly the size of a football. It suddenly starts to struggle, and as it does the vines tighten around it's neck, killing it. As it dies, it's mouth hangs open, and open climbs a baby version of the bird. The baby bird then jumps, and gets caught in some nearby vines. The whole cycle then starts again, with this bird taking the place of the now dead one. I feel some sort of sense of peace with nature watching this.

The next sequence I'm pretty sure was the same dream, but a new storyline. I'm getting better at telling when dreams just switch to a new storyline, or actually end, and a new one begins.

I am in the same African wilderness, this time laid on the sandy floor, talking to a very young African boy. He must be around 10 years old. His mother sits nearby working on something. It is night time and pitch black, the sounds of nature all around us. He tells me a story. The story involves lots of African animals, but mostly about the Leopard. It is a typical child's story, but at the end, I think I see the silhouette of a Leopard in the distance and get scared. I tell the boy I'm going to bed, and he tells me not to be afraid. Once back at my 'camp.' I worry about the Leopard. I look up, and suddenly see the Leopard's face peering out of the bushes. The dream seems to focus on the Leopard, the picture 'zooms' inwards around it's head, a bit like a movie would do. I try to sleep and ignore it but it gets closer and closer. I watch it approaching. For some reason, I believe I will not get attacked. I think in the back of my head I knew I was dreaming, but couldn't get fully lucid.I don't worry too much because it can't hurt me. However as it gets very close, I pick up a baseball bat for protection, and sit in the corner and wait for it. It get's even closer, and the people around me look scared. It seems to only want me, and ignores the others. I now suddenly panic. I think to myself 'Why is it still coming for me? I can't be hurt? This is not real, is it?' It get's up close to me, feet away, and I realise it is going to attack. I suddenly think this may hurt, but I know I can't die. So I try to escape, by using my mind. I wake up. I wouldn't say I was lucid as such, but extremely close.

Dream 3 - non lucid (6.17am)
There is a TV show about a man dating 3 women, and he has to choose one of them. 2 of the women are very fake looking, and mean. The other is plain but pretty, and this one is his actual girlfriend. The two fake girls are incredibly hurtful to the girlfriend, telling her they will steal her boyfriend and that he thinks she is disgusting. The man then has to choose, and he chooses the 2 fake girls. The girlfriend is horrified and cries uncontrollably, but the guy and 2 fake girls simply laugh at her.

Dream 4 - non lucid fragments

Unfortunately I had to wake early to get some work done. I remember fragments of dreams as I tried to get myself out of bed, but did not write them down.
Something about a big hall, filled with lights and colours and dancing people. Very pretty, everyone is dancing like Micheal Jackson. I take photos and dance too. Someone takes photos of me.

(July 11 2012)

I'm playing Spelunky again. The background of the level shifts with my character's movement: if I walk or run a single step, a tile in the background changes (explodes?) into something else. Thus my movement is key to escaping the level, since only by sufficiently shifting the environment will I reveal the exit.
---
I'm dreaming about Persona 5. There are at least three acoustic (voice and guitar) songs on the soundtrack, supposedly sung by Eri Kawai even though the vocalist doesn't sound like her. I see some music video clips of these songs, and "Eri" is in them - she's a short Japanese woman with bowl-cut black hair and a nice smile that reminds me a little of Makoto Ogawa from Morning Musume. One of the songs is called "The Full Moon Song"(?) and is apparently played during high-tension scenes.

The game itself involves terrorist attacks and actually feels a lot closer in tone to a mainline Shin Megami Tensei game. One attack involves giant globs of poison that are dropped from the sky and become poison rain; once they hit the ground they instantly turn into rivers of poison that burn through the cityscape like acid. I can see people scattering, and there is a car whose driver somehow loses control to such an extent that it goes careening down a roadway, taking out a whole bunch of people. There is a second attack that I think involves gangsters? and a third attack I don't remember anything about.
---
I'm at an office party where I'm saying goodbye to some coworkers who are leaving the company. The party is actually being held in my apartment, though. I'm sitting by the door watching people leave because I don't feel like being social. I know that most everyone in the room is going to an afterparty once this one's over, and (since I know I should probably go to it) I'm hoping that someone will reach out to me and ask whether I want to join them. I'm aware that I'll need to take the initiative, though.

Non-dream Dream

Four small fragments today:

Fragment 1: Bowling dream.

Fragment 2: I am at a park with a ton of dogs.

Fragment 3:

I am inside of a vending machine. There is a woman outside of the vending machine. I reach outside of the vending machine to caress her absolutely perfect bare breasts.

Fragment 4:

I am about to play a video game and I am in the process of picking characters then wake up.

Is he the TS version of myself? Never seen him in my life, but it’s definitely someone I know full well.
Anyway, he stared at me for a long time, and all of sudden said

‘Love you,’

He smothered me with his big, free hug. Wow~ it’s so warm~~ ^_^

For a long time we heard each other’s heart beats and warmth which felt sooo good. It was like a teddy bear hugging a mama bear. I rubbed myself into the big chest of a guy version of myself. His scent seems to tickle my nose, giving me an extra comfort and a satisfy smile.

I smiled bitterly;
Have I ever hugged someone in my life?
I already know the aching answer to that question.
I did not want to let go of him, so I gave him the best hug I could.
A pocket of warmth filled a vacant lot I fail to notice.
It was like one of those aching winter with knife like wind.

Shivering with a red nose, cold as a frozen fish.
Staying in a wooden house overflowing with coziness and love,
Drinking the sweetest and the warmest hot chocolate,

I just know it; he really truly loves me dearly as an unconditional love.
The honey sweet emotion brought me a twinkling tear at the corner of my eyes.
The warmth flows rhythmically through the whole body with beating heart.

It’s… warm… like bathing in a hot tub… I felt rich…. And sleepy….

It was a good dream.

I was reading about how to identify if you are dreaming just before I went to bed. The book said that it would take many days of writing down dream journal entries to finally recognize if one is dreaming.

Anyways, when I was dreaming last night I made sure I was paying attention to my surroundings. Everything was going good until I noticed a person in front of me with only one hand, and they had a mickey mouse type of glove on (haha!). At that moment, I knew for sure I was dreaming. Once I became aware that I was dreaming, I was extremely excited since it was my first time lucid dreaming. I immediately started to fly but after a couple of seconds, my excitement got the best of me and the dream slowly faded away. For a couple of seconds, I could feel I was being disconnected, so I tried to calm down a bit, but the world was getting darker and less vivid, and then I woke up.

I really need to learn to keep my concentration in the dreams and make sure I don't wake up!

The weirdest thing is that I know I have felt that feeling of lucid dreaming before. It is as if I have lucid dreamed before, but just did not recognize it to be lucid dreaming.

Extremely weird night...

This one's pretty fuzzy, I only got 5 hours of sleep. First, I was watching a girl, somehow become more and more corrupt and evil, in some sort of garden with a fountain, maybe in the courtyard of a castle. Then all I remember is something weird happened that made me want revenge, so I got a sword, got pumped, and jumped into some sort of original Legend of Zelda fight between myself and this thing.

Lucid dreams in red

Dream 1 - non lucid (1.29am)
I am in an attic with a group of other people. The attic is very large, and typical of an attic that has not been finished - ie it does not have a floor, but beams of wood on insulation, and the inside of the bare roof etc. We seem to be there for a reason because there is a leader of some sort, although all we do is sit and chat. I am lying / balanced on one beam which is very uncomfortable and I keep shifting position. My pockets are full of what I believe to be change (coins) and I keep making sure it is not falling out. The whole attic is on a slant and it is very difficult not to slide down and fall. Someone turns the lights out to demonstrate how dark it is. It is PITCH BLACK. I am not scared, rather in awe of the limitless dark. I accidently brush the guy sat next to me, and when the lights go back on he accused me of touching him up and I try to apologise. We then start watching film recordings of ourselves from apparently earlier in the dream.

Dream 2 - non lucid (4.49am)
I am at a large Ice Skating rink with 2 of my real life friends, I and D. We are waiting for Lady Gaga to come and perform. Eventually she comes on the 'ice' with another celebrity. The dream skips to us sat at a large table, which is like a trough. The table is filled with strawberries, and Lady Gaga comes and pours something over the strawberries and tells us to mix it up. We do, but one person ignores her as they aren't a fan. She argues with them. The food turns into Onion rings and chips, and we have to eat the lot. It's a HUGE amount, but somehow we manage it, just by eating. My nephew suddenly calls me, and I give him an onion ring to eat. He tries to tell me something.

Dream 3 - non lucid (9.10am)
I am in a fighting tournament. Each fighter has certain special powers. The first contestant is someone called 'Casio.' She is a young girl wearing goth-like attire. She loses. I am next, I am fighting against a family of normal people. I have a paintbrush as my weapon. I win by painting the family, then sucking the real family into the painting. My style is dark and scary, I am wearing red and black. The family was all bright and colourful. We leave and go home on a coach or bus.

Dream 4 - non lucid (11.09am)
I am with my ex. We seem to have sorted out our differences and are being friendly. We are walking down the beach, and see an old friend who is a bit rude to us. We then walk to the same friend's house, where she now lives. She is a lot older and has lost quite a bit of weight. She is married and has a few kids. She is wearing a purple dress. Her husband sits on the sofa next to me. She talks and talks for ages, we get a bit bored. She is telling us how she has learnt to be nice after losing weight, and that she was mean to her own kids for being thinner then her. Her husband agrees. He is putting tobacco into bags, and asks me to smell it to see if I can tell it's cheap tobacco. I smell it and tell him I can't tell. She keeps talking and we make excuses to leave.

Dream 5 - non lucid
This was a random dream fragment I just remembered about an hour after waking.

I get an iphone for Xmas from my mum, and tell her she doesn't have to get me presents anymore as I'm too old. However I do love the phone.

Reality/Non-lucid/Lucid

Hrs Slept: Around 9

I woke up to feed the cat and remembered 2 dreams and some fragments. The first is rather fuzzy and I know I’m forgetting part of it, and the second is clear and vivid.

Dream 1- I kept visiting this little house that was by a sea somewhere and I remember it had broken and patchy boarded up windows. I would go there with some older guy who was either a professor or uncle or something. I also kept receiving letters from my best friend, and I was confused at to how she even knew about this little cottage because I always went there as an escape. One day when I was there and had received about 3 letters I looked down at the green envelopes the letters came in and they were addressed to “Shell Cottage”.

Fragment- There was giant marbles that you could put down a wooden shoot, which I think was at the previous cottage. And the shoot led out the window and into the sea.

Fragment- I was driving in a car with Trevor J. and Becca and I think it was snowy/winter outside.

Dream 2- My sister and I got home from going to a nearby town and she had a revolver and one bullet, and it was nighttime, and she was set on going inside the house and killing my brother!! We were on the porch and I stopped her and tried to talk her out of it. It didn’t work, so we went inside and we both knew he would be standing there not too far in the house (which was rather dark). She shot him, and we went out into the backyard to bury the gun! When we went to the front yard there was a cop car there with the lights off and I knew there were 2 cops in the car. We went inside and found my dad at the dining room table and he told us our brother was dead and apparently everyone thought he killed himself. He was reading the manual on how to use the gun that he had given my bro. My dad also said my mom was in the laundry room crying and the cops outside were writing up a report. At this point I broke down and started crying and then woke up.

Non-dream Dream

Lots of tiny fragments today:

Fragment 1:

I am making my major league baseball debut with the Angels. I am playing right field for some reason (SS,3B,P in real life) and I am doing very well. I get an outfield assist after backing up an errant throw to first base.

Fragment 2:

I am at my wedding and everything is going very well. I look awesome. I am snowboarding at the wedding with my brother and AC, and I am doing well. The venue is MG but it changed to the Anaheim back yard. We get put on the spot frequently throughout the wedding but we don't give a sh*t.

Fragment 3:

I am bowling and Em is there directing / coaching people.

Fragment 4:

I am talking to Obama.

I got up today and moved (apparently you loose memory of your dreams by doing that). Anyways, I was quite disappointed at the fact that I didn't remember any dreams from last night. Before I want to start trying to lucid dream I wanted to compile some entries in my dream journal to prepare me for what is to come.

After a couple of hours, I suddenly remembered a small segment of a dream I had last night. I was explaining lucid dreaming to my mom (or at least I think it was my mom - she was to my left) and I tried to fly by raising my hands and jumping. The thing was I actually went pretty far up and forward.

It was so crazy because I am constantly thinking about this and I almost convinced myself I did this in real life, but it is not possible! My mind tricked me into thinking I wasn't dreaming... I think that lucid dreaming may be harder than I thought.

I woke up on phone and I Wonder where I am. then I accidentally all over the phone and on my Dog. I Was very disappointed when I see that my Dog dead. And my Phone break. All over the kitchen floor my mess there. So I Had to pick it up and it very dirty in side. I Drank the soda and juice and reestablish connection to netwok and accidentally all over your face this time. Was not happy.

(Note: I'm not sure what time span this is supposed to be in, considering there are objects intermingled and situations from various years of my life.)

From what I can remember, it started off with Leah getting these weird phone calls at like 3:30 in the morning and wouldn't tell me who it was or where she went.

After awhile, while our mom was at work, and I was still somehow at home, she'd bring them around. They were thugs of the worst kind. She started drinking again, and convinced me to drink too, even though I didn't want to be around those guys. Apparently I was being my usual drunk self and pissed one of those guys off.

Leah came and woke me up the next morning with a GUN, and she said "If you don't wake up, I'm going to fucking shoot you right now." She tapped me with the end of the gun to really rouse me. Then she said "I know you've been talking shit about me and my friends and you're going to tell mom what I did." I swore up and down that I wouldn't and was like "Are you seriously threatening to kill me??? What the hell? Why are you doing this?"

I'm not sure I remember her answer, but she walked out of the room.

Somehow it transitioned to Leah and I following my mom walking in our neighborhood or something. Leah was threatening me again telling me that she had 3 different kind of guns and that she wasn't going to hesitate to use them if I told mom what was going on. I started to freak out and then she pulled one out. Then she said, "I'll shoot mom right now if you don't stop."


I don't know what happened after that. Maybe it transitioned into a later time period. I'm not sure if Leah was present but I remember walking up to our driveway and supposedly Leah's car windows were all smashed in. And then oddly, Donn's old Porsche also had the windows smashed in. My mom's was the worst. Not only were her windows shattered, but it looked like someone took a hammer and bullets to her car and just had their way with it. My mom practically collapsed in tears and I tried to get her to walk to the house so we could call the cops. We saw the cats outside the door, and my mom said "Thank god! The cats are still here, they didn't get hurt." I secretly thanked god too, cause I don't know what I would have done if any of them got killed.

As I walked through the door, I noticed my car (which happened to be my old Toyota Corolla) was left completely untouched. It was also parked on the other side of the block, for some reason, but close enough that someone could tell it belonged to the house. I was perplexed by this but also slightly relieved.

i was in a building and my mom and family where there and i looked out side and it was flooding i told them and they where freaking out then i saw a big bag and said lets close the end of the bag bag and fill it with air then it worked and then i woke up

Sometime between 7/12/2012 And 7/15/2012 Fragments
I was with L and she was having an emotional moment at a bar we were at she was crying cause everything was beautiful and pointed at the beer taps and said something along the lines of "Oh my god they have so many beers" with teary eyes. The bars beer taps seemed to be made out of cardboard and her tears were very large the bar looked much like the bar at my old job but we were on stools. The feeling of the dream was nice I though L was cute.

I was in a room with a group of my friends and L, she went into the bathroom and my friends started hitting on her we were in my friend J's house except the furniture and some rooms were rearranged differently and the house was smaller I got defensive but realized I was doing so and it was pointless so I stopped. The general feeling in the dream was comfortable even with my friends hitting on L.

I was running around a mall/auditorium with S and we were sort of playing a game but for a she stopped with excitement in her eyes and we kissed we then morphed together into this strange thing that grew taller sort of had the texture of clay with parts rotating in different directions (First morphing dream ever)

I was in a mall again and I was exploring for a while I made my way upstairs and saw someone I'd never met before but seemed to know in my dream we made plans to meet up and have a beer.

Dream 1 - 1.32am
I am rather drunk, I am sat on a chair, wobbling a bit and conversing with other people. I am wearing a white shirt and black suit jacketThis is my favourite outfit for events, parties etcI start to unbutton my shirt, fumbling as I do because I've drank way too much. I'm not even sure why I'm undoing my shirt. I leave it laying open. I start bragging to another guy sat opposite me, about something which I don't remember. He doesn't believe what I'm saying but I don't care. Someone calls me on my phone, asking if I can give them a lift home, I agree and arrange to meet them outside. I watch out the window and see them arrive, so I go to meet them. I would never drink and drive in RL!

Dream 2
I am in a room with my bf and our nephew. They both want to watch an Anime series but I don't, however I give in and put it on. They both watch in silence. The TV is large and located in the doorway of the room, very inconvenient. However nobody passes. The boxes for the DVDs are yellow with black writing. The storyline of the Anime is a young Japanese boy fighting aliens trying to take over the world. I keep adjusting the angle of the TV so I can see, and then I settle into a green folding chair to watch.

Dream 3 - 7.52
I go to my mum's house. There is a stranger staying with my mum, a young blonde American woman. She explains the stranger recently split up with her bf, and has nowhere to go, so my mum has let her stay for a while. I don't really like the stranger and think my mum shouldn't be taken advantage of, but I don't say anything. My bf keeps being nice to the stranger, and I get annoyed with him. She is selling a gold car to make back some of the money the bf stole when they split up, it seems like she has had a rough time and I ease up a bit on her. We sit inside her car, and load some of our belongings into it, and decide to go on a road-trip. I suggest we visit 'Felix the Cat tattoo Studio' in Birmingham, USA. I want us all to get tattooed. As we sit in the car, the girl's boyfriend comes and begins to wash the car, she tries to stop him but he insists. He thinks this will win her affection back but they just argue. I stay quiet, my hair begins to fall into my mouth, I try to remove it but it is stuck, and I am continually pulling it out of my mouth, it is also peroxide blonde. I recently bought a gold car, but it was from a man. I also got a tattoo recently, but I've no idea where Felix the Cat came into it! I have black hair, not blonde. I did wake up with a dry mouth though.

Dream 3
We are on a large, old fashioned steam train. It is open air and slow, like you would get at the seaside to take visitors around the sights. It is red and black. We are trying to get off at our flat, which is number 19, but everytime we go by (we being me and my boyfriend) our flat door is not 'ready' to open, so we stay on the train. It appears we need to press the door button as we go by on the train (it's that close to the door that this is possible) and then get off the train when it passes the door again. (So the train is on a loop) we do this, but as we pass again, the door has been open for a while because we pressed the button too early. Eventually we do this but it takes some time to get it right. I don't live in a flat or at a number 19.[/COLOR]

Dream 4 - 8.41am
I am on DV chat, talking to someone about religion. I am then making my dad a picture for his birthday, along with my sister. I look at the time and it is 3.40am.. This is the first time I have ever checked the time in a dream. I've been practicing the clock RC during the day, so this is probably why - I didn't RC in the dream though![COLOR="#00bfff"]I am then planting a tiny plant, the room is a mess thanks to my little sister.

Dream 5
I am playing on an arcade machine, like the type you get at seaside resorts and gambling places. It's one of the ones with a grabber claw hanging. I don't put any money in but it is releasing capsule type balls containing prizes ( mostly sweets) and I collect a handful of them. I decide to give them to my nephews but I don't tell them where I got them from, because then they will want them all and I don't think this is fair.

Dream 6
I am dating some guy who is out in the wilderness / the jungle as some sort of animal investigator. I try to get in to talk to him but they won't let me in as I'll ruin the investigation, however I insist and they let me in. I find him and draw pictures of him to impress him, however he is not impressed and falls in love with a monkey in the wild, and leaves me. I am pretty sad. I walk back, taking note of how beautiful the grass and trees look, and there is what looks like a coastline too.

Dream 7 - 10.16am
I am watching a friend fall in love with someone they met on the internet. I think she is gullible and silly for trusting the words of a stranger on the internet, and so I pretend to be the person, mimicking them on the internet. It works, and my friend thinks I am the person they fell in love with. I tell her to do stuff and she does whatever I say. I tell her to tattoo a butterfly onto her chest, and she does. I then tell her to let off fireworks inside a public building and she does, no one is hurt but they are scared. Eventually I am found out, and they call the police. I try to explain it was a joke just to see how far she would go, but I am jailed for a year.
