dream fragment

I was in the car with my sister and her friend Allen. We were driving down Jake Brown Road, which is an extremely creepy road pretty close to where I live. Woods were on both sides, like normal, but this time, the road was paved. It also had two lanes! The real road is a dirt road and only has one lane. My sister turned on the headlights, but it was still really dark.

There was a building with three levels. They were connected with escalators and it was like a library somehow.
There was this guy, Paul (screw using initials for names anymore), a friend of Daniel's. He was hoping to lucid dream. The thing is though, he was about to go to bed and asked to have a porn magazine, because he wanted to look at it before he went to sleep so that he could wake up and have lucid sex with one of the girls in the magazine, lololol wtf xD

Dream recall was very bad last night
Only a snippet and a portion of another dream

Snippet: I steal a Porche super car, it's either one of a kind or extremely rare. I escape through a parking lot with lots of cops with flashing blue ad red lights in black and white cars chasing me (we don't have those kind of police cars here).They chase onto the road, I take a side road and it looks like I'm gonna get away but then it turns into a sidewalk which leads back to the road where the cops are.... That's all I remember.


I'm at a meeting with some of my bike club friends, one of them has emptied a pile of stuff onto the table from his pocket or a bag. I take all the coins and start counting them, I make a high tower of the R1 coins and it falls over.... Later we're riding bikes, we're at the top of a steep dirt hill with sandy tracks coming up. We go down one at a time to take turns coming up, C rolls down backwards and almost gets hit by a car on the road at the bottom of the hill. M is next but she uses my bike, because it has the lowest seat. She also rolls back quite dangerously and drops my bike as she starts, I'm not bothered or worried about it at all, she barley makes it up and we have to grab the handle bars and hall her up the last bit. It's my turn and I ask if I can use the other DC's bike (I don't know him). It's a HP2 , at some point the bike develops peddles and it is discussed that I should be fine because I have the right shoes?? I ride down and turn around safely and smugly, I ride up the hill on only the back wheel and ramp over the crest still landing only on the back wheel. I do a bunny hop thing up a step just past them.

This morning I woke up, and I was disappointed by my lack of dream recall from the night before. I know I had at least a few dreams but could only remember bits of one or two. I decided that since I was still somewhat tired, I would take another crack at it.

I laid in bed and attempted to initiate a WILD which I have not successfully done yet. I tried looking for hypnagogic imagery but saw none. Long story short, I fell asleep and into a non-lucid dream. In this dream I was in an airport terminal. It was dimly lit and I remember a significant lavender hue to the setting. I was a bit chilly and as I looked around, I was surprised to see that many people were lounging about in sleeping bags and mummy bags. Some had tents pitched. Somehow, this did not strike me as strange in the least, perhaps as the result of a recent camping trip I'd been on in my waking life. I determined that these families had been holed up here as the result of flight cancellations. My logic was clearly off. Anyway, I settled down in a bed which had been provided for me; apparently I had also been the victim of flight cancellations. I remember seeing a pair of faded yellow jeans and liking them as I crawled under the covers of the large bed. Many other individuals were also in the bed, which for some reason did not concern me or make me feel strange. I remember seeing a family next to me. There was a strange looking father and I vaguely remember a wife and daughter.

This is where the dream got interesting: As I fell asleep within this dream, I attempted what I thought would be a WILD. It was not, since I was already sleeping. This time it "worked" and I became momentary lucid, but without any control. In this dream I became a sort of camera, swooping over fantasy cities in the night. As I zoomed over one city, I located the town center which looked EXACTLY like the town centers from Age Of Empires II. I remember laughing in the dream.

Eventually, the excitement brought on by lucidity sent me out of the dream and I woke in the dark lavender light of the terminal. Then, the strangeness of that dream struck me almost instantly and I woke in my room. The double awakening struck me as pretty cool. All in all, this excited me, even though I was only lucid for a short and uncontrolled period. I have had poor dream recall lately and also, I could not remember the last time I dreamed in color, so the purple of the airport terminal and the yellow of the jeans were good to see. I am excited to give all this another shot tonight!

I remembered two dreams last night but they were just fragments. I went to sleep last night and my mind was stressed and not clear. I think thats the reason for not remembering my dreams.

1) Me, Tyler, and Blair were in the back yard and it was dark. My brother and I heard this loud, bloodcurdling scream and we stopped to listen. Blair kept walking and was was ahead of us. We see in the distance a black figure running towards Blair and we were frightened.

Dreamsigns:
1)Rolesville
2)Tyler
3)Blair

2) I had a very quick lucid dream were a knew I was dreaming. I did the nose-pinch RC and I remember becoming lucid. I was with Blair so the first thing I did was put my hand on her shoulder and I whispered to her that this was all a dream.


The concept of dreaming is slowly creeping into my non-lucid dreams which is a good sign.

I know that I did have a lot of stuff I could have wrote down, but I kept waking up and and going back to sleep, so I didn't get to record any of it. I remember one thing, and if I happen to remember anything else I'll edit them in.

Company's BBQ (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Not one of my best nights! Four dreams but nothing fancy.

Second:

I was outdoors with some friends. It was sunny and we were enjoying a barbecue. There were also a few DC that worked for me.
We were going to sell a new ham so these DC started to slice it for the customers. Eren (waking co-working from Pata Negra) also passed by and offered help.

I had a False Awakening in my room and I was able to recall the dream with full detail.
Something about other DC.

Missed Dream Signs:
- I had employees working for me.
- The False Awakening.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Complete the ToTM for August.

I am at a mall, the reason I am there I completely forgot. For some reason or another, I do a reality check by looking at some dots on the wall, looking away, and looking back at them. Well, even if it was not words, it worked and I became lucid.

After that I decided to not jump into any activities yet, and tried to concentrate more on making my lucid more stable, longer, and clearer. So, I first began by walking very slowly and observing every small bit of detail I saw in the dream world with all my senses. As much as transforming into a wolf came across my mind, I knew these LD exercises were far more important to me.

I looked at a small railing next to an escalator, and looked closely. The light reflected off the chrome railing beautifully. I sat there and tried to smell anything, but I could not smell a damn thing. I figured that was weird, as I have smelled things in my LDs in the past. I thought that maybe my brain assumed malls smell like nothing.

In order to stabilize my LD further, I decided to reach into my pocket to grab a stress ball to squeeze in order to exercise my sense of touch. However, when I reached down to put my hand in my pocket... I had no pockets. All I had was my boxers on. I tried to further summon a stress ball in my hand but it refused to appear. After that, the dream got real fuzzy and I woke up in the middle of the night.


_____________

Next dream involved me going to some costume party. I decided to grab a Predator costume I had.

Fast-forward: I am at the party when I realize I don't have the head/mask to my Predator costume. The people at the college party start to stare, and I begin t feel judged.

Note: Was furious at myself for not trying to DEILD, spinning, or rubbing my hands yet again. I know it works because I have done it in prior lucids, I have just forgotten to for some reason. Even when attempting to stabilize my lucids, they are cut off even shorter. May be due to either me thinking about being asleep too much, or it being the end of that certain REM cycle for the night.

Dream Fragment #5 (Macauly Culkin + Toaster) (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It was a veeery long movielike dream, but I can't remember anything else than this little scene.

Me and someone else went into a big room, in which were a lot of chairs standing in lines. We sat near the front, because we were about to the an actment or a movie.
As we sat there, the other guy whispered to me, that Macauly Culkin would sit behind us.
I turned around and saw him sitting there. He looked just like in the movie "Good Son" and he had a silver toaster on the chairon his right.

1. My research station colleagues are heading to a lecture on the different layers of the sun, but I am too busy to go. I need the information for a future test, so I manage to get a handout with lecture notes on it (failed RC). I work for a good bit and get tired, so I take a break. I get on my computer and go to YouTube, where I start to watch videos from Renaissance festivals.

I find a video from the start of the Ohio Renfest, taken from the Queen's box for a panoramic viewpoint. An old man delivers a witty poem about mortality and time, then the crowd separates into four factions grouped by color. At the man's signal, they begin a massive LARP battle, and after the dust clears the blue team is victorious. The old man then continues his poem, ending with the line "Watch out for that grandfather clock!" He then roleplays his own death very convincingly.

Somewhere in all of this, my viewpoint has transferred into 1st person on the grounds of the Renfest. As I walk away from the old man, I run into MB. She's dressed in blue, but her face is very red and I can see she has been crying. She greets me sadly but without any great surprise, even though I haven't seen her in many months. I ask why she's crying, and she says "We were supposed to meet at 6:30. It's 7:30." She then walks away, saying she isn't OK.

2. I'm in an alternate-universe Chicago university, where my band is preparing itself for a benefit concert. It's something to promote world peace, as in this universe the Cold War is still boiling. The concert doesn't help, and soon the Cold War erupts. My band escapes from the city as radio reports tell of millions dying.

We were at James' house. There were a lot of people crashing in different rooms. In the morning we stuffed a bunch of corpses into the trunk of his car. I went through the McDonald's drive through and they gave me the wrong order. Instead of chicken selects I got a cheeseburger. I could taste it in my dream - the ketchup and pickles. Disgusting.

Fucking random, but the symbolism is the same that it always is. I'm not taking care of myself, something in my life is lacking, I'm dead inside, etc. It's great that my sub conscience is pointing this out to me for the millionth time, but what am I supposed to do about it? What am I supposed to fix or change? I wish that I could find answers in my dreams.

Well, I'm brazillian. So, I'm going to write my dreams in portuguese, because it's faster and easier for me.

Old friends - Velhos amigos
(Aprox. 15min)

Ontem, meus amigos da minha escola de música partiram para Xaxim, para participarem de um congresso regional de coral. Com esse fato, sonhei que estava indo me despedir deles.
Ao chegar lá, vi Karol e Drielle (minhas amigas que mudaram de estado no começo do ano, e tenho muitas saudades). Ao vê-las, me emociono muito, e logo corro para abraçá-las. Abracei-as muito emocionado.

It's been hard to fall asleep recently, being snapped awake by the slightest sound, but I tried to maintain my mantra: "I will remember my dream".
All of yesterday I had been RCing using my keys which have sticky tape on them, sort of like a totem.

Dream 1:

I'm walking down the main road near my house, with a church friend, when we see a really old-looking house. It wasn't a run-down house, it just looked like it was from a long time ago.

My friend and I go inside and see an old person. At first I felt we shouldn't trust them, but they gave us a plate of food, which we set down on an antique table.

We're both looking around at the antiquities in the dusty living room, when I look under a bed and see lots of blue blankets. I then turn around and see my parents talking to the old person, and I woke up.

Dream 2... sort of

I don't know where I was, but it looked like I was standing inside my eyelid; everything looked like how it does when you close your eyes.

I held my hand up (after reading about the hand RC the previous night) and thought "Whoa, my hand looks weird" then I pull out my keys, as I had been doing the whole day, and the sticky tape wasn't there :O I thought "I must be dreaming!"

Then, just like a few days ago, I seemed to be getting sucked out of my dream, but I tried to mentally grab it and pull it back over me, then I woke up.

Dream 3

My entire school grade was at a mid-sized indoor swimming centre (Australian spelling ) at night.
The place was dimly lit, but everyone was having fun.

I was sitting with my group of friends, talking, when suddenly, out of the blue, one of the girls kisses me! I remember falling over, and the group was yelling in shock, then I woke up.



Yep, not very interesting, but I have read everywhere that I should keep a DJ anyway

I was doing something in this big house. Was there danger? Some sort of goal? Something like that seems familiar. There was a lot more to this one but I just can't recall.
Next I was at Cedar Point, and they had this new drop ride that resembled Top Thrill Dragster. Me and my family were there. We finally got up to the ride, and when I got in, I forgot to put on the harness. So it goes down really fast, but I held on tight and didn't fly out. The workers were so impressed that they let us keep doing the ride. I wasn't happy because I had to keep holding on for dear life.

Forgotten DILDs (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It really is the case that lucid dreams can get forgetten just as easily as non-lucid ones if I don't get up and write them down after they happen. I had several throughout the night, but I can only remember fragments of what happened in each.

Part 1: I was outside and it was sunny. I was trying to talk to somebody, but my mouth wasn't working properly. I commented that I was like Cletus the slack-jawed yokel, but the way I said it made me sound even more retarded. I tried slapping myself in the face and trying exercises to disassociate myself from my physical body (I reckoned I must have been sleeping with my mouth open again), but nothing worked. I rubbed my hands together and shouted "Clarity!" and "Increase vividness!" and still no luck.

Part 2: I woke up in a room quite similar to my own, except there were things lying around which clearly didn't belong to me. I became lucid after checking my hand. I think I ended up having sex with a girl who walked in.

Part 3: This was the end of a dream. I chased a guy who had been trying to kill my friends through a city at night. Desperate, he jumped over a railing and into a full storm drain. I took a massive running jump and landed on him, crushing his head with my knee. I wish I could remember the rest of that one, I've got a feeling it was awesome.

Part 4: I was running home, and something didn't feel quite right. As I went upstairs in my house, I did a hand reality check. "Ohhhh yes," I said as I remembered still being in bed. I went in to look at my room anyway, and saw a massive drool spill on the pillow.
