NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Good morning! Had no real intentions of getting lucid last night, and my sleep was shitty. Woke up every hour or so during the later part of the night, but that only helped me with my recall and I got a little LD just like that. Seems like Tuesday to Wednesday night is my new LD night.

22.30: Sleep

05.00: Fragment
*My friend Henrik is at my place. He's got very short hair and he keeps messing with my computer. I have no idea why he's being such a jerk, but I slap him in the head hard. We almost start a fight when he punches me in the balls. I can feel the pain up into my stomach. I hold his arms down and tell him to stop. "I can pick you up if I want to, I'm that much stronger" I tell growl in his face.

05.00: Boat ride
I'm with my mom outside of a shop. We're looking at some kind of clock for her. It's got the colour of burnt clay, and she tells me she wants it. We enter the store and a girl shows up and starts showing some big vase to my mom. I look at a clock hanging on the wall. It's 9:10. "Mom, I gotta go" I tell her. I hand her all the money I have. Exactly 105 euros. Actually I'm late for the boat and it should have left already. My phone starts vibrating and I check the display, it's Monica.

"Hey babe, I'm on my way, let's meet halfway" I tell her and hang up. I run towards the apartments we had and she come scrambling down the steps with a few suitcases. I grab one and we head off towards the boat.

The dream skips. We arrive at the boat and my friends are there. I spot a couple who I recognised earlier on our trip to the country we're in. I walk away from the boat to do something, not sure what. On my way back I spot the couple ahead of me, smoking weed. I know how fucked up I can get on it, so I try not to inhale anything. I start to feel dizzy and my steps become incredibly slow. I have to struggle to even move. After a minute or two I reach the boat and get on, my friend Felix comes up from behind and tells me he was looking for me.

As soon as I enter our cabin, the boat starts moving. "Close call hah!" I say. All my friends are in the cabin there with me, and I lie down on a sofa. It's not comfortable at all.

05.00: Evil and good DILD
I'm standing near a bridge, looking at a sleeping man in the tree. Above him is a cat that is wiggling its tail. I grab the tail and tease the cat with it, trying to make the cat attack the sleeping man. I can't get it to attack him, but I have some fun with the cat. I completely forget about the cat and feel that I need to take a pee. Two girls are heading over the bridge, but they're far off and I figure I can make it. I unzip my pants and start peeing behind the tree. They walk a few feet behind me and doesn't seem to care.

Peeing that long makes me go lucid. I walk down the road while taking in the scenery a bit. It's dry out, but the trees around me looks like jungle. I try to recall my tasks. To do a good and evil deed, that's right! I've visualized giving someone money as a good deed already and I feel my pockets while walking towards the two girls who had stopped by some stone structure.

One of them has dark brown hair. I grope around in my pocket for a while but I can't feel anything that feels like money, I do feel two lighters though. "Hey, want to see a cool trick?" I ask them. "Yeah sure!" they say as I pull out a lighter. I light a flame in my hand, it burns blue.



I shoot the flame out from my hand onto the dark haired girl's hair. She gives off a shocked expression but I make sure the flame quickly goes out. I can smell burnt hair. "Sorry about that" I say. They don't seem to mind much though. The three of us starts walking down the road, I keep trying to find the money in my pocket. Soon I find something interesting and bring it out. It's a big money clip. We arrive at a boat with alot of people around. I give the money clip to the girl. "I wouldn't hurt cute girls like you for real" I say. I feel her butt. She compleltely ignores me after taking the money.

That's it! I completely forgot to DEILD... Anyways that lucid was nice since I completed the basic passive task for my class. Sweet!

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

I had several dreams last night, the last of which was my first ever lucid dream. Finally!!!

All I remember from my first dream is standing on the front walk of what I know in the dream is my ex in-laws house. But no such house exists in the real world. Another strange thing is that the house, it's foundation and even a layer of soil, is sitting on the ground (kind of crooked) like it had been pulled up from the ground and set down somewhere else. I also notice a trail of ants running up and down the length of the front walk.

In my second dream, I found myself in a large cavern of some kind. There seems to be some kind of community living here. There is one man whom everyone calls "the bird man" because he raises all kinds of different animals as pets. I walk over to his part of the cavern and see a small pool. Then I see a small dinosaur, like a baby, about the size of a large swan or goose. It looks like a stegosaurus, except that it has light purple fur on it's body and the plates running up and down it's back are brilliant shades of yellow and red. When it first sees me, it swims away across the small pool. But then the bird man enters and the dinosaur comes running to me as if for protection. It's rubbing up against me like a cat does.

After I awoke from this dream, I laid in bed, briefly considering jotting down some notes in my dream journal. But I decided to go back to sleep and try to re-enter the dream. This is when I had my first ever lucid dream:

I'm sitting in the waiting area of a small office. The door to the office is open and I can see my oldest daughter sitting in there. I'm talking to her about dreaming and telling her how to to a reality check by holding her nose and trying to breathe. She does it, but is able to breathe. I'm thinking that she's not holding her nose tight enough, so I decide to show her how to properly do it. As we're doing this, two men walk into the waiting area where I'm at. I look at them and say something like, "We probably look pretty silly doing this, huh?". I keep trying to show my daughter how to do the holding your nose reality check, but I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong because it's not working for me either; I can breathe. Then I look at my hands. They're all blurry, not like an out-of-focus picture but like a pastel drawing that has been smudged. It finally dawns on me that this must be a dream! I get up and walk around, looking at everything. I enter another room that looks like some kind of call center, because there are desks everywhere with people sitting at them and talking on phones. The walls seem to be made up of panes of blue glass that are illuminated from behind. I pass by a middle aged woman sitting at a desk and nod in greeting to her; she smiles and nods back. I decide to continue exploring and walk back out of the room. But now I'm in what appears to be a grocery store. I walk by one of the check-out registers and decide to look at my hands again to see if I'm still dreaming. My hands are in perfect focus, but both hands are misformed. There are only small nubs where my index and pinkie fingers should be. I remember that one thing I wanted to do in a dream is find "the girl of my dreams". I look around, wondering whether to ask one of the dream figures or just ask the dream outright to show me the girl of my dreams. Just then, I notice a woman walking up one of the aisles towards me, browsing the items that are on the shelves. She is wearing a white dress, has blonde hair, pale skin and is wearing red lipstick. I walk towards her and as I approach, she looks up and smiles as if she recognizes me. I want to ask her if she is the girl of my dreams but she is talking to me. She says in an excited voice, "Oh my God, I didn't think there was anyone else here who wanted to dance!" Before I can reply, these two guys appear out of nowhere. I can tell by the look on the woman's face that she doesn't like them. She asks, "What do you want?". One of the guys pulls her to him and says, "You said you wanted to dance." But before I can intervene, I lose lucidity and wake up.

Lots of navigational issues, Dad and I went sailing out to sea and tried to navigate to various points. We encountered islands and other vessels in different situations. It was kind of like 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader". One vessel which we couldn't seem to get away from was a large sinking yacht. We were worried that the resultant undertow would drag us down. That is all, I am too tired to remember more and am surprised to have remembered this much in coherent detail.

I do not remember much but the recurring theme of buses was present again and I complained about the quality of ALDI toilette paper which we had actually bought a lot of recently in the waking world.

Monday, September 8
Sunday, September 9

Both nights I woke up in the night and recalled my dreams. I thought of writing them down, but then decided that my recall was clear enough at that moment that I could remember them in the morning and write them down then. No recall either time. I may have to start jotting down key words on a scrap piece of paper.

Monday night I have slight recall - there is an impression of multiple people moving around, and we are all within a large building.

8-27-11
Blah recall.

Dream:
I found my bike pump.
Waking reality: My bike pump is still missing, and my rear tire is still flat.

I was on land, but water was all around. It wasn't really an island.

There were cars that had been parked and were now sunken into the water and sand. Only their trunks were sticking up in the air.

I was with a female. I liked here. All of a sudden, something swam up. I saw a fin sticking out of the water. It was a shark. I was afraid it would swim up to shore and get one of us as we were close to the edge of the water. It did come up and show it's open mouth. Then it was a killer whale, and another one came up beside it. I forget what happened then.

So I remember going to my town and it was like totally deserted and so I was with my middle school principle and maybe the DC that make me lucid from last night. So anyways we were there and I was gonna take a golf car with my friend home. So we got in and this one steered really weird and was super annoying. It had a little stick that came up and you would twist the top to turn. So I got out and got in a nice blue one that had a yoke style steering wheel. So I started driving and though that I would go to this guys motor-sports shop up the street. So I did that with my friend but he stayed in the golf cart. I went over to a car type thing that had snowmobiles but they were tiny and I tried one and it didn't work because it was so tiny. Then I tried this scooter thing and it was tiny and then I couldn't really find anything else I think.

The invitations for a party had to be rewritten and Mum was helping out in order to make sure that they were kind and appropriate. They each included hand written recipients and sibling attendance invitations. They also included personalised apology or condolence or encouragement messages. That is all.

10 Aug 2011

Something about digital clocks/timers and two different people actually turning out to both be me.

8 Aug 2011

David Letterman announced on National Radio that "Osama's got Bin Laden!" Harry Ackerman had killed Bin Laden after a dispute on set. From this arose many jokes on the Late Show and I was invited to meet Letterman.

Very vague, something about keeping a look out for ten things, also reference to an equation from the final question in the physics bowl in an episode of "The Big Bang Theory", the solution being '-8PiAlpha' (both the solution from the show and the one which I derived in my dream) and reference to the 824 party as organized IRL by individual(s) unknown, to be held on the morning bus on August 24, 2011 (8/24). No other details.

I was in a sort of laboratory, in a medium size room with a window in the wall for looking upon a similar room. The rooms were made almost entirely out of clean white tile, and were rather empty. I was in a lab coat, standing parallel to the window, and observing the wall on the other side of it with apparent purpose. One or two other lab coated folks were standing beside me, to my right, doing the exact same thing.

Just fragments tonight, but I'll post them anyway.

1st fragment: I was playing a broken Minecraft adventure map, and after reading many complaints on the forums about how the map was poorly drawn and upside down and all that, I played it anyway. I glanced at a yellowed, ink-drawn map with some villages and towns marked as circles at several times throughout the dream. The dream fragment ends when I am sneaking around a dock and examining a boring ship, preparing for a voyage, from around a building.

2nd fragment: I was at an airport parking lot at dawn. I had been in this exact setting before, on vacation. I walked up to the typical reflection of a bored, unenthusiastic, minimum wage, college-aged teenager at a ticket booth. He wore a Lowe's Uniform. I was about to pay a ticket, but then I was shocked into lucidity. It was so ungraceful I almost tipped over.
Sadly, my first thought was how lightly I was sleeping. I could start to feel the pillow under my shoulders. Focus... focus...
My eyes, in waking life, opened. After several attempts to DEILD, I decided I was too awake to fall asleep again.

Terrible TERRIBLE recall. In the afternoon I remembered that there was something I was eating in a dream. Maybe I wasn't eating it, I don't know. Somehow the food travelled to my hair and into a liquid. After a while I realised that possibly the food dye in it got into my hair and I had poorly dyed green hair. It didn't seem to bother me
