dream fragment

Been disappointed the past 2 nights. Recall has been extremely low, especially compared to 3 nights ago on my first attempt.

All I can remember from last night is, I must have been on a Big Brother type show, sharing a mansion with others. But the only other person I saw was a black girl, who I've never seen before. We were swimming and that was pretty much it. Accept at one point the "camera" cut away to a one on one interview with the black girl (which is how I knew it was a Big Brother type show) and she was complaining about me.

That's all from last night, wish there was more. I DID get high before bed, which I said I wouldn't do. So I guess today I'll actually stay sober.

I woke up this morning and tried the FILD technique. I'm not sure I had full lucidity in the beginning, but I was at least aware of myself entering a dream.

I've been reading Stephen King's Under the Dome, so I was trapped in a city under a dome much like that one. In fact, we might have been in the book. Then some countries (and it might have been Naruto related) bombed right outside us. People freaked out, but I became lucid around then (or maybe I always had been, my memory on this one is fuzzy) and dove into the sand and dust where the bomb had hit. I swam around in the dust for a while, then came up and went to this huge department store. It was made all out of glass. I started talking casually to the police chief there. I remember that most of the stuff he said was hilarious, and laughing pretty hard. I know I asked him some questions I've always wanted to ask dream characters, but I've forgotten most of what he said.

He started leading me around the department store, kind of like a tour. I kind of snapped back to a heightened state of lucidity, extremely aware. I looked at my hands and was, once again, shocked by how real it was. I KNEW it was a dream, I didn't need to do any checks, but I was still just fascinated. I looked at the name plaque for this woman's office that we were standing outside of. Her name was Wanda something. The name was strange, but the door and plaque and woman looked intensely real. I thought, "Okay, time to get some stuff done!"

There was a door I could try to walk through, but I watched Inception the other night with Leviathen (he'd never seen it) and was now convinced if I tried to leave, my DCs would try to attack me. I didn't want to get shot, so I tried to spin. I could tell I hadn't moved, but I willed myself not to wake up. When I opened my eyes, the police men were coming to tie me to the wall.

Spoiler for ADULT:

At this point, I saw the policeman and wanted him to let me free. I thought the best bet was to seduce him, so I made myself younger and put on a skirt and sort of flirted with him. I pulled my skirt up at him, but he wasn't watching, so I MADE him watch. He started to join me. Then, I don't know, he turned into a woman? Who then proceeded to touch me and kiss me. She said that her boyfriend, the police officer, always said she should be with a woman, because she had such a small tongue. I asked her to show me, and she started to go down on me. I remember thinking that my boyfriend wanted me to have sex with him in my dream, and that Leviathen wanted me to visit him if I could, but I thought this was MUCH more important!

Then the alarm went off and I woke up.

(It really was long, like 30 minutes, I just don't remember most of it. At one point I thought, GEEZ this is a long dream.)

The second dream took place a couple of hours after the first.

I was running from a large group of people, when lucidity hit me. Something about the running feeling great and how I wasn't tired. I just was sure I was dreaming. I did the nose RC. As usual, it took me a second to realize it was working, that I could breathe.

Then I woke up.

I was in a band playing a Foo Fighters song (might have been Learn to Fly.) Next, some fat kid tried to steal a tent and I chased him with mom's car, but it was a convertible version. Next, I was in some sort of library for video games, but there wasn't a lot of good stuff. I cant remember the details, but one point, I was some sort of superhero.

July 4, 2008

I was on Attack of the Show talking with Munn about a new Wii coming out in November. next, about a car that was a lot like the freestyle. Then, I cut my finger, i went to the store for a bandaid and went to a party. RJ and Bianca were there. I also was in some sort of war and I was a vampire or something fighting a giant monster later on. It was some sort of school I was in or something.

I'm venturing through the dark of night, with my father at my side, we're scanning the streets for specimens, evil creatures that are trying to kill the human race. I'm carrying a 9mil boretta and my dad is carrying an AK-47. We run into a few and shoot them all, me and my father both run out of ammo and there are still more coming at us, we reach an area where the road goes up slightly revealing a small pocket, and a bunch of swords and weapons were stashed in the pocket. I grabbed a katana and began slicing them into pieces, all of the sudden we reach a hedge area where it is partially day and night, we see specimens slowly creeping up towards us, we take them out one at a time, then one comes up that I try to strike and nothing happens. I strike again but the blade does nothing, all of the sudden the specimen turns into a more human creature and begins to run from me, I start to chase it and become a specimen.

I find myself outside a tall building, at its highest point obscured by the clouds above. My several companions and I walk towards the entrance confidently, but cautiously. As we get right outside the door, a piece of the building itself speaks to us in the voice of an old bitter woman and cackles.

"You'd better hurry, I'm coming for you!" She is the voice of the lava the building is sitting on! We rush in and realize the floor is bubbling and the room is filled with several tiers of yellow blocks. Immediately, my team and I start jumping around the room to search for the item we were sent there to retrieve. Somebody shouts they've found it, but lets it slip from her hands and fall to the bottom of the room. I instinctively dive for it, snag it, and continue my way up to the top of the building. It is a small, 8-bit Mario shaped eraser.

The room is now erupting from all corners with pillars of fires and I'm struggling more and more the climb the now "artificial rock-climbing" face of the walls. I finally get the level I need to be, where I meet eyes with another member of my team blocking my path to the right. Time freezes for a minute or so, though we're both still thinking clearly. Once things start moving again, I use all the strength I have left to climb over to the goal. I pull the eraser out of my pocket and place it in a small indent. It transforms into a a Princess Peach eraser.

All the danger subsides and glide to the bottom of the tower. My team is there to greet me, I we walk out together feeling like winners.

Visiting my brothers chaos:
I was driving somewhere together with my mother in her car, and somehow I got the idea of going to my brother to help him with something, she told me to call him and so I did, he was fine with it and I got out at the next bus stop. I walked to his old home (a place thought up by the dream) which I as it seems had the keys for. As I came into the house I found a vivid chaos with stuff of every kind lying, staying and hanging everywhere. On different types of cd/mp3-players (etc.) I found different tracks from Alabaster being played (however with Ariaster being displayed as name).
In some other part of this dream (don't know when) I remember I saw his (again faked) real home in the dream.

Unreal Unreal Tournament:
I was playing a game with some unknown people and I had a shock rifle with 2 buttons on top of it, which I also could equip with powerups. Whatever game we were playing, I tried to avoid all enemy contact and we were losing. Somewhere later I simply turned into a cat to avoid my enemies.

Nightly sushi trip:
I was going together with my girlfriend and Vincent (FF7) to a sushi restaurant, somewhere in some unknown hills. It was already closed for orders but we could still go inside. The construction was pretty realistic. As the owner came over to us I went outside and wait for her to finish her business. Surprisingly my girlfriend came out with a bunch of sushi, telling me the reason given by the owner was that she couldn't trust my girlfriend otherwise.

Ate a couple of slices of cheese and took a vitamin B-6 supplement(100mg) yesterday evening before bed, so I was diappointed that I only remember a fragment of one dream from last night:

I'm in my truck in what looks like a suburban setting. A friend of mine is in another truck close by. We're on our way to the same destination. As I'm getting ready to turn right and drive down this one street, I see my friend take another route. I look toward where he is going, see that it's a shorter route and cut through a gas station parking lot in an effort to get ahead of him. I pull out to the right and get in the left turn lane at a traffic light. I look in my rearview mirror for my friend, don't see him and realize he has taken a different route.
The light changes and I make the left turn, driving across a bridge that spans a small river or canal. Once on the other side, I make a left turn and follow the road, looking to see which way my friend went. It's slow going because there are cars in front of me and one of them is driving really slow. Eventually, though, I see the road my friend had taken (a straight shot with no traffic lights) and realize he is now way ahead of me.

No nap, some red vine, bed at 22.30, didn't fall asleep untill much later.

first fragment at 2.20am - I was "on the other side of the river" - I feel like it was not ment literaly

second fragment at 4.05 am - I was in a summer camp for LD-ing
at 6am - also something about camp for lucid dreaming

third fragment at 7.50am - I was in Liguria, Italy

Oct.22, Sunday, no nap, some beer, bed at 11pm, woke up from a dream at 5.30am.

I was with some friends looking for a new place with help of a realtor;

Then I'm giving a ride to some girls, but one of them is driving, because we were going down some steep hill and I didn't want to drive that way. We arrive to town and I drop them of in front of store called Target. But they forget to give me my keys, so I follow them through some security checkpoint, which is no longer to the store, but to the cruise ship. To my surprise, I get through without any problem.

Another dream at 7.48am - again with some unpleasant people from my past.

I had this dream last night, I'm late to record, here's what I can remember.
I was in a zombie takeover, the few remaining survivors had gathered in wal-mart. We needed AA batteries for some reason and ammunition for the few guns we had, which I distinctly remember were mine, I provided them.
A female survivor tells me all the AA batteries in the main battery aisle have been used up. We'll have to sneak some from the front. We quietly walk to the front by the registers, and find one of those battery kiosks. I grab one of the big packs and say something akin to "glad that's over with."
We then head to the back to get the ammunition, I had to remind her of this and as we're heading to the back of the store, the dream ends.

I was watching TV with my family (as I used to do before I moved to Taiwan) including some extended family and a girl I didn't know. Then I started trying to make energy balls between my hands and suddenly I knew I was dreaming. I sat where I was and looked around, wrung my hands a bit to stabilize the dream. This seemed to put the dream "more in focus" the brightness visibly changed. Then I got up to explore, trying not to get too excited and wake myself up. That happened anyway of course and I woke.

This is my second night trying to get back into Lucid Dreaming. Rereading Stephen LaBerge's Exploring Lucid Dreaming. It's a good sign that I'm not completely hopeless.

I'm going with J to school. I'm pretty late and I'm also pretty hungry. I think the clock said it was about 8:15 (school starts at 8). I went to grab some food before I go and I grab three items to eat while driving. I ask J to get the keys and I eat the first thing.

Blond guy purposely crashing something. Remember it was a really long dream, can't remember anything else though. It was after only 3 hours of sleep.

Operation Downfall:
I was waiting together with my specialised fighting team in front of a forsaken building. Someone from the regular police brought us a snack, and a bunch of nothingness happened. He invited us to some sort of festival of protection. As we arrived there 2 of my comrades said "It's silent, too silent", and shortly afterwards we heard screams, the defense platform looked organic, infected. We were attacked by some strange lifeforms who killed everyone else already. We fought our way deeper into the complex, were some other people fought for survival, with no success. I remember the complex was led by some decadent humans, probably the reason for the attack.

Random game stuff:
There was some sort of RPG system in the dream and I had 2 points in the rocket launcher stat, and I was in some sort of pub with a portal. I've been shown some scenes of another game and some comments why this game was supposed to be good, the landscapes were mostly snowy. There also were some moves from Donkey Kong (smash brothers).

Neutron apocalypse cleaner:
I was on a planet which was in pretty bad shape, sorta fallout like. I went into a building and fought of some enemies, afterwards I activated a self cleaning system (probably an advanced neutronbomb, like the one in Noveria/Mass Effect). All enemies were killed and nothing else was damaged, however the inner structure of the complex slightly changes.
