dream fragment

I've began taking silene capensis because its said to help with making dreams vivid and to increase dream recall. While I haven't felt the strong effects of it yet (as it's said to take up to 3 days), I do believe I'm starting to notice little hints of it in my dreams.

The most memorable of the fragments I had last night was one in which I saw a scene of a married couple having a casual conversation. It was odd to me upon waking because rarely are my dreams not about me, the majority of them tend to be about me in very normal and boring social settings. This dream however didn't involve me, I was just watching, as if I was watching a movie or show on TV. I even remember laughing at some DC's that were having discussions with each other. At one point however, the woman give her husband a red and shiny one wheeled motorcyle as a gift. His expression said everything, as he hopped on with a huge smile on his face. Here's a doodle of what it looked like:

This is when the dream sort of changed and I took over the DC's body, though not quite becoming entirely lucid, it was still an interesting experience. I remember squeezing the motorunicyle between my legs and thinking "this must be what it feels like to sync with those animals in Avatar" because I felt a telepathic connection with the cycle, and felt it moving in whatever direction I would think of.. I, or he rather, jetted off on his cycle leaving behind a huge red light trail, similar to the bikes in Akira or even Tron Legacy. At this point I quickly lost that small bit of lucidity, and just watched him ride around with joy.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was driving a red car when I arrived at some place in England when they tried to execute me.

In france they killed Mr Burns and old Gil.

For me the execution was a lenghty process and voluntary, but I finally decided against it.

I was at a library.

My brother wanted a T-shirt and my parents cut out the logo and put it on another shirt.

I have been drinking a tea mixture I made for the past week every night before bed consisting of Valerian root, chamomile, kava, and dream herb. It knocks me out for the most part, but last night I just had a melatonin pill (3mg). I was listening to binaural beats once again, particularly gamma waves.


Somehow my house has turned into a bar, and I am walking downstairs to meet a customer. I had forgotten that she ordered a martini, so I quickly run back upstairs to find the dry vermouth... But it is missing. I'm frantically searching my kitchen for it, and constantly yelling "Fuck!" A coworker of mine was there too.

Dream Lucid Me DC

Fragment 1
I was playing an game where I needed to kill some bananas. () 1 banana was my character and he got different weapons by catching power-ups.

Dream 1
My friend E showed an video to my classmate M. First it had some soldiers walking through a forest. In one cave in the forest were some Disney-like animals. They went to search for a new place to live. One started to walk through the forest. It transformed into a human girl. As it came out of the forest to an hut, an wierd cloud monster thing appeared, saying "You have been in the forest for 30 days. You still have 32 days when you can do it for free. Are you sure you want to exit?" . It let the girl go, because she had only 1 coin. Later an boy came there too and the girl tried to warn him for not holding too much money, but the monster catched him. Then it changed to some guy explaining about some Pokemon movie. There were a boy and a girl running on tiles which floated on water. (I swear, I have seen that place before in my dreams.) Then they came to Hyrule field from Ocarina of time. The "camera" changed to film from up, and I couldn´t see anything, because there were so many trees in front. Then I killed couple of monsters before the dream changed.

Dream 2
I was in my grandparents house, eating broccoli. Without any reason, I realized I was dreaming. I went outside and started to fly. (Floating is easy for me.) I wanted to go to the Lucid crossroads again, but this time I needed to figure out how to fly faster. Well, I tried it for a while and found a way to go faster, but every time I looked up too see my destination, I started floating downwards. I then pulled my right arm to the front (Superman style.) to make sure which way I was going. I began to fly to the clouds. As I got in, the clouds turned into white cubes, and I saw some bakteria-like balls, with lots of lever on them, on top of the clouds.. I boarded one and tried to pull the levers. My classmate A appeared to instruct me and he told me, that this place was an digestion system and these "balls" were mustard. (WHAT???) Then E appeared too and we began to talk about something. (Oh right, I got E interested in lucid dreaming too. ) I then realized we were going right down to some things belly. "Get out of here, fast!" , I shouted. We flew off as the mustard fell down. As we landed me and E had a short talk about something. I saw an mirror on the other side of our grandparents pond and decided to fly through to get to the Crossroads. I flew through it and on the other side were two huge kids and their dog. (Or was I just small?) It licked me couple of times and I stepped backwards out of the mirror. I tried flying to the clouds again. On top of the clouds was some kind of flying fortress, apperently owned by some evil baron. I got the ability to shoot freeze rays from my hands (It was so cool.) and I shot couple of guards. I flew to the fortress (A huge hollow cube that had some giant Goombas circling around it, some with bicycles.[Okay, seriously, WHAT???]) I destroyed the barons tower monster thing and he gave me an power star for doing so. (I think I play too much videogames.) I began to faint and he had a big grin on his face. "Fool, don´t you know that most power stars are cursed?" Dream skips and i´m in jail. I open a chest and found an wierdly shaped metal plate. I place it into the key socket, and the gate opens. I enter a train that is flying on water, and find the baron. I point him with an ice ray pistol and say something like "Looks like you´re screwed." I exit the train, and see a small island in the sea under me. "Could that be the Crossroads?" , I think. I start flying closer and see some details. "It is!" But as I get closer it turns out to be just an room made in Habbo hotel. (PROFANITY!) The dream ends.

I am in some sort of lake house. I go outside and I am on a dock. I walk around on this dock that is
set up like patio and I sit down on bench that is there. The moonlight casts onto the wooden flooring
illuminating everything with pale blue light. My family is in the house and later I am talking to a friend,
I cannot remember who then the dream ends.

I am on the edge of a forest and there are a few of my friends around me. There is guy a with
bright red hair that somewhat resembles a joker or an elf or something standing up front. He is
supposed to be Hagrid I think. He shows us this furry little rat. I forget what it did but somehow
it multiplied and you could make an army out of them. I was thinking about army rats when
the dream ended.

I am in some sort of hotel with a bunch of friends and I am looking for my crush.
I do reality checks so much now that I often do them just to do them, this is the case
here. I do a reality check just to see if I'm dreaming, nothing prompted me. I don't
think I'm dreaming but I try to put my finger through my palm anyway. To my astonishment,
it works. I become lucid for a few seconds walk around the hallway. I think, hey "This
brings my lucid count to 3!". Wrong, its 2. Later, the lucidity faids just as soon
as it started and so does the dream.

There are people everywhere but they are dangerous. Near a bridge I see a man with a woman defeat some of the people and I meet up with them. He leaves me the woman and then goes searching for something. (A lot more happened but I need to improve my dream recall.) The woman and I walked around for awhile looking for shelter.

Later I'm in a classroom, most of the people aren't dangerous anymore. I'm talking with a classmate when he remarks, "Stop it dude, your vibing with me." A hazy outline of my classmate appears next to him after he says this, and I realize this is a bad thing so I leave.

I realize I'm dreaming, it doesn't occur to me to try and control anything, but I know I'm in a dream and I write down on a white board, "Lucid dream," in fancy letters with a purple marker. Hoping that this would make me more lucid. It doesn't. Haha. I don't reality check though I feel as if I should and then I'm confronted by a black woman...

She was a doctor in another life, and this is about where my recall ends, not long after I met the black woman did I wake up.

Unfortunately I can't remember much from my dreams last night, but one thing comes to mind.

I remember walking down the sidewalk with my parents (I think), and suddenly having my legs give out underneath me. I managed to get up, but after a few more steps it would happen again. I kept getting up, but after a few steps I would just fall. There was no feeling in my legs whatsoever. I started to panic, and after falling one more time, I could not get up at all.

im pretty young and im not an experienced lucid dreamer YET but i have had some lucid dreams in the past and would like them more often. i have tons of questions like what is WILD (wake induced lucid dream i know that but i dont understand it) i started my dream journal last night and this is the one entry i have but idk)

im in my school hallway. by the double doors that lead to outside where you can see trucks. im talking to brendan bielik. we walk to class and sit down. mr.reed is there? there is a long table like one of those at a court room. sara declue is there. everything is very dark (in the sense of brightness) as how most my dreams are.
how are you
im sorry but it has to be like this

the dream ends and a new one begins that i do not remember

Dream - Lucid

I'm at my house, and the weather is getting stormy. I remember the weather channel saying that it wasn't supposed to get too bad, but it is getting pretty turbulent. There is supposed to be a tornado. My family wonders where they should go, and I tell them to go into the coat closet downstairs, where we usually go. We all herd into the closet. I realize that I need to get some things out of my room, so I go upstairs and grab my purse and a couple of other things. It's kind of dark upstairs. I go back down into the closet. I look out the window before we shut the closet door, and I see a small tree about to get snapped in half by the wind. My mom tells us to all duck down and cover our heads, like my brother learned in school. We all duck down, and my family starts to pray out loud (very reminiscent to real-life events of about 7-8 years ago).

I woke up after this dream all scrunched up, when I had fallen asleep on my back.

I turn over to go back to sleep, and I start having extremely vivid auditory hypnogogia of the sound of coins hitting each other, as if I were counting down my drawer at work. Then, I have some hypnogogia of me observing people at work, and Jessi, a girl I work with, drops a glass and breaks it. The sound of breaking glass was so vivid, I snapped out of my half-asleep stage, and panicked for a minute, thinking someone broke into the house.

~

I was not myself. I was a teenage boy, and I had two girlfriends who didn't know about one another. I remember being in my waking life car, driving around. I woke up in the back seat, and my waking life purse was being stolen. I also remember being at a baseball park.

~

I was at school, I think it was supposed to be college. I'm in a "social studies" class, and three professors are teaching, one woman and two men. They are VERY liberal, and teach by acting out some sort of skit. They are trying to convince us to see something from their point of view.

Then, I was at home, eating ravioli. It was delicious and hot. My brother is in the kitchen too. I asked him for some butternut squash ravioli that he had been eating, because I had to compare the two for my class. I think they were trying to convince us that the squash ravioli tasted better. My brother gave me some of the leftover squash ravioli. It was a little colder than room temperature because it had been in the refrigerator, and had very little flavor. I concluded that I liked the real, meaty ravioli better.

Then, I was standing in the quad outside the library of my college. There were trees in the middle of the quad. It was very bright and sunny, and I was very, very hot. I was trying to find shade under the trees. I was smoking a cigarette. A bigger guy with red hair and facial hair resembling someone I know in waking life came up to me and told me something about him and his friends smoking 10 baggies of weed. I laugh loudly and say "I bet!". Then, another guy comes up to me. He looked kind of "ghetto". He had short, dark brown hair, a white basketball tank with light blue lining around the sleeves, and to top it all off, one of his front teeth was gold. His teeth were bad also. He asked me "What's so funny about weed anyway?". Then, I saw my dad standing in his running clothes with a huge, warm smile on his face.

I then woke up and my room felt like a freakin sauna. No wonder I was trying to find shade. o_o

Also, sorry for the switch in tenses. Some dreams are just easier for me to record in present tense for some reason.

DJ Log: January 5, 2011 – Morning, ? (USA Eastern)
Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

(Note: I picked up my notebook last night and noticed that I had recorded some fragments which I forgot all about. Considering I've had a long dry spell, I was quite happy to find out that I did record something during a WBTB.)

#1. Interrupted Foursome!
I bring four cuties back to my hotel room from the club. One of them wants to take a shower while the other three just jump right into the bed. I jump in the bed with them and before anything happens, two small annoying "yapper" dogs start jumping up and down beside the bed while trying to bite my toes and fingers.

#2. Annoying Destructive Kid.
I am at my parent's old house, hanging out in the basement with a couple of DCs. One of them is a destructive kid who is breaking everything he touches. I quickly run around and pick up all of my belongings and load them into a few boxes. I am running up and down the steps, hiding these boxes in a closet to keep them away from him. ** Gap in time ** I wake up on a couch in the basement, get up and walk upstairs. At the top of the steps, my dad is working to fix a hole in the wall. Without saying a word, he points to something behind me. I turn around to see that annoying kid sleeping on a couch.

This is just a small chunk of my dream- it was in the middle, and I can't remember the beginning or end. I was with this group of random DC's, none of which I actually knew, and we were on the run from something dangerous. We were in this jungle/desert hybrid (which doesn't sound like it would work, but it did) and there was a downhill chute that worked like a water slide. None of us wanted to go down it- I guess it was dangerous- but one girl in the group coerced us into it. She made us all lie down on the ground, and covered our eyes with marshmallows and our mouths with bandaids. It was supposed to be helpful. Then she sent us all down the chute, but she stayed behind, and everyone was mad at her for chickening out.

When we arrived at the bottom of the chute, it was flat desert with wooded mesas rising out in random patterns. At this point, I was viewing the dream from a bird's eye perspective. We ran along the edge of a mesa, because there was something dangerous down here and we had to escape. Then a Tyrannosaurus Rex stomped around the edge, and I sent my group onwards to sacrifice myself fighting the dino as they ran away. I woke up before I could.

Then, just little fragments-- a pool in my old middle school, going there at night, something about the stage.

Small piece came back to me. I recall the dream being really long and this was near the end, but I can't really recall the rest of the dream. All I recall is that it was me with some friend (not a real-life friend) who both had been enslaved by this evil guy. We were in a large, sort of room, it was shaped like a lima bean with walls a good 20 feet high, however no ceiling. It was nighttime and you could see the stars through the roof. We weren't the only slaves there, the room was packed with other people enslaved. In these dream the world supposedly had magic that was quite common for people to use, but we were enslaved because the guy found some way to remove our magical abilities. Anyway, don't remember exactly what happened, but some elite force of mages (don't remember what the group was called, but there was 7 or so people in the group) showed up and managed to free us.

It is quite foggy, don't remember it real well, and as said this was near the end.

Fragment

I am looking at a blob of purple paint on a canvas, I can see that it is WakingNomad.

somewhat vivid dream, I just suck with describing things so I won't bother.

I am in a museum, trying to find the exit. I find my way into a Korean submarine, I ride it to a house I believe is mine. we surface, and I thank the Korean woman piloting the sub. I go into the house and hang out for a bit, when the doorbell rings. It is a woman with long, straight red hair. I get a bad feeling about her, but for some reason I let her in the house. She hands a piece of paper to me, telling me I need to sign for the damages, or it will be my fault. there is some other writing on the paper, i don't pay a lot of attention, but write some random stuff down, and cross some of it out. I put down the pen.
