I rolled a denim office chair around in a grocery store, loading items onto it. Went through the checkout line, putting the items on the belt. An older employee of the store went through an adjacent checkout line, and when leaving the door greeter asked, jokingly, to see his receipt. I laughed with them as they both left the store. I picked up my bags and pushed the chair into the cart return before exiting the store.

Asleep by 1:30am.

WBTB at 4:30am. I was drifting in and out of sleep throughout most of this. Trying an experiment. It failed, but produced a funny result... Every 10 minutes, my snooze alarm was ringing and pushing me back to awareness.

Pet rat
I was sitting in front of my rabbit's cage, but my rabbit wasn't in there. Instead, it was the adorable Arizona rat (type of breed) with beige hair. It was coming up to the side of the cage and bumping noses with me like my rabbit does. I would stick my fingers through the cage, and it would hold my fingers with its forepaws. It really wanted to be held, and suddenly, the cage was different. The cage bit was now wire with very open squares... big enough that I could pull the rat through them with a bit of maneuvering. I put my hands through the cage, and the rat let me hold him as I guided him through a square hole. Suddenly, my cell alarm (in the dream) started ringing. I had to put the rat down, and then I mashed my phone's buttons to snooze it again. But it wasn't working... odd...

It woke me up and I was still trying to mash the snooze button. I realized then that I had been snoozing for an entire hour, and it wasn't going to let me anymore. I had to turn it off and reset the alarm.

Tried to WILD for an hour, not a very good attempt. My dad was bumbling around upstairs and I didn't have my ear plugs in.

Back to bed and had troubles falling asleep. Back to the couch and passed out.

With a bad sort - Lucid - 2/5
I'm a character in this dream. A very rich girl, maybe no more than 18. We're set in around the 1910's judging by the clothes everyone is wearing. We're in a warehouse, and it's dimly lit and musty. A group of men working for me (about 5 maybe) have this woman sat at a table, and they are holding her there. I'm questioning her about a money transaction. A bit of false memory tells me she may have worked for me once... like a hand maid or something.

I recall looking over a paper transaction notice (which, ironically was printed in computer print) and saw that she wasn't lying, the transaction had gone through.

"It's too bad we still have to kill you," I tell the woman.

"Why?!" she freaks out. "I've done what you asked!" She is completely frightened and starts sobbing.

"I don't need you running to the cops," I say, coldly.

"Please, I won't! Please spare me! I don't want to die!" she pleads.

I feel a pull in my heart. I still need to kill her, but the poor thing, she's so frightened. "We won't make it painful!" I promised. "It'll just be like falling asleep, only you won't wake up..."

I trailed off and contemplated my last words. Just like falling asleep... I clued in I was dreaming, but only vaguely. I wondered how to change this scene. Maybe Danny could save the day?

My dream vision flashes over to Danny, who is lounging on a deck chaise, reading a magazine. "In a minute," he says, and waves me off.

My dream vision flashes back over to the woman, and one of my crooks (a crooked doctor) is holding the woman's eyes open with these tiny, thin hooks. "Wait, what are you doing?" I ask. The woman is shrieking, crying and pleading. "You're scaring her more, it wasn't supposed to be like this."

"We're going to take her sight first," the doctor explains. He hooks open her other eye and I wake myself up.

Back to bed again.

Fragments
Drinking a cup of coffee and discovered the cream is spoiled.

Watching this girl explain to her parents that her nose job was going to be a good thing for her.

Jack and I arriving at this BBQ at a friend's place, only to find that we're too late and people are leaving. Another guest says all the food is devoured.

(I had a feeling this one was part of another dream, but as per the norm, I woke up for no reason at all in the middle of the night.)

I had missed the first day of school because I'd been sick, so when I finally came back, I was scrambling to have everything done and accounted for. I didn't get all the teacher's syllabuses, but I did get a packet that contained two journals, a whole bunch of papers, and what the teacher called his "Welcome to school gift and personal learning plan."

I was utterly confused, but listened anyway to a confusing teaching style that involved teacher-student interaction and students functioning on their own. Eventually I just shrugged and said, "okay. I think I get it."

It didn't help that this math class I was supposed to take was just about two hours long.

FML.

I woke up.

She wanted to know if i could work on my weekend off so that she could finish moving her stuff and visit him. I caved in. I don't want to go to work. the only reason i agreed is because i have no money and absolutely have to have this computer back or i won't be able to make more. Fuck having a home business. It's to hard. I hate my full-time job. At least i got cake.

Had 3 very vivid dreams. I remember waking up and going. "Woah for real?" I fail to remember the first two now though. When i woke in the middle of the night i should have at least jotted their subjects down. but no i just rolled over and said "bah I'll remember it." the third dream was strange.

I was standing in an isle way of a grocery store with a cart full of food, and my cousins husband, Markus. Markus has the baby-mans, Dylan, with him, but Dylan had black hair, and the weirdest beard. I remember at one point going "Baby's don't have beards, but my subconscious have me a vary detailed reason as to why he had it, and that it would go away. I accepted this, and the dream carried on. We finally got to the check out, and i gave Dylan the ice cream he wanted "Doodz" we're brand of Ice cream i thought but i ignored it. Then every time he ate i got money. Another cousin showed up and tried to take Dylan but i wouldn't let her, and then some crazy man with claw marks shaved into his head and just plowed right through us at the check-out lane.

Alarm clock went off. Sometimes i like my dreams better than waking up. I wish things would start looking upwards for me.

DV Fragments (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I did not have a rested sleep. I woke up several, several times during the night. I had my mind wondering all night and I was super unfocused. I recorded several fragments:

All fragments I can remember were about DV. On some I was teaching classes, on some I was doing admin stuff and on some more I was just posting and reading threads. Most of these were micro-dreams.

Missed Dream Signs:
- Unknown.

What I would have done if lucid:
- With such a messy night, probably I would attempt to Astral Project from the lucid.

School Fragment (Supplemented by Melatonin and Vitamin B6)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So I popped a pill, containing 3mg of melatonin and 3mg of Vitamin B6. Stayed up for a while before letting the drowsiness kick in. I'm not sure of this, but I had a lot of 'day-dream' moments before falling asleep (need someone to tell me what are these!).

Unfortunately I kept waking up, which is weird because melatonin is supposed to make you fall into deep sleep for the first 70% or so of your sleep. I did get dreams in the morning though, quite a lot of them, and are not very vivid, which is another thing that surprised me.

Some fragments:

• I remembered seeing 20 notifications in DV.
• From what I can remembered, I recalled waking up in my classroom during recess and checking if there's still time to grab a bite. On the way I had to pass through the gym, and I saw my Discipline Master instructing someone on how to use some equipment. He asked me to pass him a wooden ball, which I did. He dropped it, but I continued walking on.
  
  Instead of heading towards the canteen I walked to the school hall where everyone was playing badminton. Someone asked me why I came so late, and I told him I was feeling drowsy (probably because of the melatonin) and decided to sleep for a while. I borrowed a badminton racket from a friend and decided to show off my badminton skills, which weren't very good at that moment.
  
  The bell rang, and someone told me I ruined their game because they were winning. I thought he was joking, so I let it slide, but after a while I asked if it was true. But before he could reply we saw everyone gathering at the foyer and I thought we were late for some sort of meeting, so we rushed there.
  
  I saw the Discipline master there, so on instinct I reached out to my shirt and began stuffing it into my pants for uniform inspection, but I failed. When I reached the foyer the DM told me he already inspected me, so I need not attend. I was quite confused at that moment, because the last time we saw each other was at the gym. I sat down near my juniors. A teacher walked by and decided to release us by shouting a command. She made a mistake at first, and everyone was waiting for her to amend it. Then to my horror she shouted out some weird command that goes like this: Pooh pooh pooh pooh backside backside 1 2 3 4 Go!

I woke up after that, still feeling horrified and wtf-ed at that command. My neck was quite sore.

I spent most of the day packing for the move. I don't like packing.

09/11/10



Incandescent light bulbs are hanging from wires, interspersed several meters apart. It's quite dim. The dirt floor is covered in straw, and I kick up pieces of it as I walk.

I'm leaning down over a roughly made cage, which is covered in chicken wire. The top is open, and I see a few rabbits hopping about on the floor. I pick up the one that looks like my childhood pet, all white fur and red eyes. As I pet the rabbit in my arms, the dream fades around me.

Well, that was uncharacteristic.

September 11, 2010

The trick
I was involved with a group of people trying to play a trick on a group of bad people. This was really more than a trick, it was a whole set-up, I guess. Involved on the good team with me is Elijah (from work), Eddy, possibly my dad (according to my notes) and Jesse from All My Children. On the evil side is David from All My Children, and a bunch of dream characters.

We were trying to make David and his team believe that something had happened that didn't really happen. I was alone, and kicked off the plan. The details of what I said or did are very fuzzy. Eddy then got involved. Once it was rolling, Jesse came into the room I was in and was upset about the current pace and inactivity of our plan. He didn't know I had kicked it off. I filled him in on what happened so far, and he was pleased.

Missed dream signs
- Interacting with co-workers outside of work situations
- Interacting with TV show characters

Had I realized them
- Would've done some reality tests to see if any work for me (nose pinch, mouth roof, and tongue bite)
- Would've left the plot to summon Danny for help with conjuring my brother

Puppy fragment
Jack and I were renting a basement suite from Hannah, who lived upstairs. She was opening the door of our suite for us and this dog ran outside to greet us. He was typically brown-furred, but had this patch of fiery-coloured red fur on his nose. He wasn't the world's cutest dog, but he was super-friendly, which rather made up for it

Missed dream signs
- Jack and I living in an apartment other than here (this is a new sign creeping up a lot lately)
- Seeing people who I don't see anymore (Hannah)

Had I realized them
- Would've done some reality tests to see if any work for me (nose pinch, mouth roof, and tongue bite)
- Would've left the plot to summon Danny for help with conjuring my brother

Lucid

Dream

1.

Me and 2 mates were around and then there was a lot of water as we were 'flooding' the house

2.

Whilst cleaning the blankets (?) we played Super Mario World 3D. I was in the final level playing against Bowser to win a prize. I kept dying even though I felt like I had practiced a lot. Eventually I ran out of lives and lost.

3.

A few things happened consisting of an empty field with a car and a creature who when its name was said killed something. After this, there was a wooden beam and Flanders (from the simpsons) was tied to it and rotating around the pole. At the end of it, there was Homer sitting on his roof.

4.

I was in a room with a lot of paintings. There was a tightrope guy teaching us how to walk across one and then there was suddenly two tightropes, one for him and one for me. I went to leave and was told to make sure that the paintings were not taken down but I did not inform the others.
I was then in a lecture/class room and I ran into an old friend. I asked her if she was at uni now and she looked at me in a puzzled way and said something.
Eventually I left and went back into the room with the paintings to find that half of them had been taken down. At this time the people who told me not to take them down came and I got into trouble.



Well that's about it. I am definitely missing a few bits but I was too lazy to write them down. I think my recall is improving slightly which is good.

All I remember of this dream is that there was a bare tree (I believe there was a white background so it may have been winter), and a glimpse of a drawing of some man yelling...

What's up yall!
I'm new here and this is my first post.
I thought i could sum up my lucid experiences: first lucid dream, I was playing warcraft (that time i'd play long ours of that game) and while playing i suddenly realized, while trying to read the info on an item, the info changed so i realized it was a dream! Then i dont remember weather I woke up or fell for another dream.
Anyways,
Second lucid dream was awesome. I was reading some sort of manuscript, from a really old paper/papirus-like, and it was like a screen on the tv when e credits go up, and, while the paper would go up on my "screen", there was a female voice whispering the meanings of the manuscript. It was a very strong feeling! Then i suddenly understood it was a dream, and that the message of the lady was very very important to my life, so i started saying to myself: i have to remember this. This is very important! I have to remember this!
But I only remembered the dream, not the message, too bad

Ok so, starting this week, I have the goal of developing the ability of having lucid dreams, and already had two awesome dreams, none of them lucid.

First this week:
I was at a training gymnasium like place. There were two round tables. It was day. People in the round tables, including myself, were practicing levitating small objects, and I was trying to levitate my ex-girlfriend's ring.. When I saw that a friend of mine was also able to do it, I started doing it too!
Then, i was with my kendo teacher: he showed me some moves, threw me on the ground and I slide on the floor for 10-20 meters. Then he threw some other student and himself in the same way

Second night:
I was practicing kendo again, outside, with a lot of people, then in some periods I was wearing my Greek sleep-shoes, some times I wasn't.
So, the teacher showed me that in one movement, I should hit with the sword, and levitate for 1-2 seconds in the air. He and other students showed me how to do it, and I started practicing that.

Just remembered another dream. I was with my ex-girlfriend and deciding whether or not we should get back together or not. Maybe during the dream I realized that was a dream, and didn't have a response whether I wanted that to happen or not!
Note to self: investigate the ex-girlfriend dreams and feelings related to that..

Wish you all a great weekend!

(This was a three-part dream from me constantly waking up. I'm going to have to find a better solution for this.)

The first dream involved zombies. Granted, it wasn't a very large zombie area, but I remember that I had to get to something and zombies were in the way.

Very, VERY short. Inspired by all the Resident Evil: Apocolypse trailers I've been seeing everywhere.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in one of the WTC towers when it was hit by one of the airplanes. I had my golden retriever, Sam, with me, but shortly after that, I saw that everybody was going to lose it. So I shouted, "it's okay. Stay calm, and we're going to be okay. We're going to start taking the stairs outside."

We were on the lower building levels, and surprisingly, everybody did as I asked them too. We all began to walk out of the building calmly, as though we were doing a drill instead of a response to a terrorist attack. My dog was seperated from me, and I wanted to call out his name, panic, and run to him, but I knew I couldn't.

People would freak out if I did. So when I evacuated the building, I wrang out my hands and asked a fireman to help me locate my dog - but Sam came trotting out when I called his name.

I lead him away from the building and towards someplace safer, petting him all the while.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This one was more difficult to recall. I know that I was wondering where the hell something was, and I was helping my friend build something for HIS friend.

I'd met this somewhat cute guy when I woke up. He had a couple of facial piercings, and I remember he said he was on the East Coast (or somewhere close to it).

Time to get back to basics for a little bit.

I slept far too long last night, probably about 10 hours. Woke after about seven and didn't remembe much, dozed off...

Dream 1

I got to work an the store had been merged with another store. So now it was twice as big, there was a counter in the middle and on one side was my store and on the other side was some kind of book store/gift store. Run by an Asian girl. I wondered where the other girl was.

I spent ages looking through the books for old Tintin books. I found some that ha never been published. I found one, written by a different author, that was only a few pages long, and kind of bad, but the only one authorised to be written by a different author.

I had to serve someone, for the other store, and had to run it through my computer. It was confusing.

Dream 2

There was a platform, in the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by forest, caves, hills, forest, impenetrable cliffs. It was like a setting from Halo. There were two teams, and we were running around shooting at each other. It went from Halo, to being like a game of paintball. It was like a a mystical sort of place.

I remember hiding in a tent. I ran out shooting, got shot. There was someone (who?) standing at the entrance to a cave, but I couldn't go in.

Dream 3

I was on the phone to Daniel, talking about Shea. I had to go to work to pick up the new Halo game. I took a shortcut. It was a long rolling road, like through a freeway, lots of roads, lots of empty barren land in between, a rolling path criss crossing the country side.

I came to a big cave. I was with two others.

The guy at the counter said, "It's not out yet, I can't sell it to you."

I went through a doorway to their storage area, hundreds of legendary editions piled up. I grabbed one and went back to him. "It is out."

He said, "I hope you guys are right."

And he started calling his customers to tell them it was available. People started coming. I got a text message from Daniel. People were lining up. I got a call from Optus about my reception issues. We followed a path around the outside of the cave, and it came to a huge park area.

The cave, park, green spaces, trees, waterfall, pond, etc. A dreamlike area. I was with Rob and Snowy. There were dinosaurs. It was a Halo theme park. But it wasn't. A huge 3D generated hologram of a flying dinosaur flew at us, out of the sky, and down towards us.

Lucid

Non-Lucid

1.

Kept seeing the same thing in a different way
Fighting over a package
In a queue

2.

In class with 2 friends

3.

Talking about how I should have done engineering.
Building a building
Filling a big hole in
Forgetting about the water pipe
There were weasel like creatures
Blood sucking worms in my shoe
The rest of the community were against me
I ran away
I grabbed a necklace
I got caught, but I looked like someone else so they walked past me although I punched the tracker dog
I met the person who I was mistaken for and she had a bf. He gave her a necklace and off we went

Really fragmented and I missed out on the dream that I had before I awoke which is annoying.

Fun dream, but the writing's kind of screwy.

Moving out of Saskatchewan! Maybe I'll stop dreaming about "Ixburg".

09/10/10



I've de-aged again. I have the impression of messy black hair, and apparently I'm Harry Potter. Cool.

I'm also trapped in a cave.

"I can't let ya leave, 'Arry," explains Hagrid, turning to a conveniently placed stove to pull a kettle off the boil, "The Ministry won' allow it."

"I see." I'm standing with my hands at my sides, eerily calm. The lack of expression seems to unnerve him.

I'm unconcerned. Hagrid has already given away the secret, and he has his back turned.

I raise my right hand. "Imperio."

I walk out into blue skies.

time skip

In the time since I've left the cave, I've fought off a few extra-inept stormtroopers, easily taken care of. (I actually wasn't sure about one. Thought he might have been a shadow-trooper, but he died easily enough.)

I had another encounter with Berserker!Hagrid. Apparently three layers of Imperius spells don't do anything positive to your sanity.

Beat him.

Now I'm wandering around Ixburg, heading toward the east end of town for some reason.

I'm trying to fly. Annoyed that it's not working. I can manage some of the jumps, but I can't stay in the air.

Standing in the center of an open road, I concentrate on growing red, hawk-like wings. They extend from my arms, so I don't have to concentrate on a new set of limbs. I flap the wings, and take off.

Passing the warehouses on the edge of town, I notice Imperials swarming the place. Apparently it's their base.

I stand across from Darth Vader.

"I am your father."

I'm unimpressed.

We fight, but he fades into the background.

I remember Capture the Flag, from Jedi Academy. That was fun.

A stormtrooper holds the blue flag, and is standing on top of the empty red base. He's waiting for someone to return the flag so he can score.

I force push him off the building, and he goes crashing into the corrugated siding of another warehouse. Dead already. Hn. Blue flag returned.

The blue team scores, and I grab the red flag. Darth Vader's still lurking around here somewhere. Something's glitching on him, maybe? He can't jump onto the roof.

I fly off toward the hospital on the other side of town, the blue base, after sprouting another set of wings. I wonder how I'm carrying the flag without hands. I try not to think about it. Maybe I'm holding it with my teeth.

In another dream, I'm standing in a hallway, looking at the men's and women's bathrooms, which are side by side. I have no fucking clue which one to use.
