Late Boarding Protocol [Fragments] (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I'm trying to catch a flight to England, I walk through a room that's a recreation of a planes flight cabin. I was complaining about how cramped it was. After I finally board the plane the flight attendant states that the runway is no longer available because I and my mum were late.

"Activate Late Boarding Protocol," she says and the entire plane starts to turn nose up.

"What are we doing?!" I say rushed and panicked.

"We're going to launch our selves via rocket propelled engines into the air," she replied.

Mum freaked out and I had to calm her down.


I remember fragments of walking through fairly bad parts of an English town. The roads were made of rust colored bricks and the sunset lit the sky up as if it were on fire, the entire sky was a blazing orange and red. Almost like a scene from a film when something really terrible was happening to the world.

I was torturing a bionicle because I was convinced it was "L" from death note in disguise and I needed him to tell me something.

Coco was dead under dad's bed but when his bed was lifted she came back to life and left.. Someone explained how this worked but I forgot...

I then found myself in some sort of "game" like thing.

I think I was competing against mom.

I ran into a cave and found a pile of shrub like stuff and I selected things to create fire from it and cook food over the fire.

You could also use limbs for burning material.

I followed Joe Swanson from family guy outside of the safe cave to keep him company while exposed. He was at some sort of table doing something..

I looked all around and saw a tiger.. I ran as fast as I could to the cave but the tiger caught me and struck me. Causing me to die and then later respawn.

There is much much more but I can't put it into words or remember enough details...

I was watching a rich man give a woman a check for 1 million dollars. It was dark and the backdrop was a carnival I think. The man was in a cowboyish outfit and he was sitting in a convertible sports car.

The woman gave the check back and said something like "oh no. I couldn't". Although she was hoping that the man would say something like "I insist".

The man said "oh okay." and took the 1 mil. check back and then gave her a $375 check instead

I went into some sort of moving vehicle/ride thing... 2 attractive women were in there. One of which was reluctant at first but then let me fondle her breasts ..

Slept between 11:30pm-10:00am
7:00a-10:00a
Hanging with friends
Originally, it starts out with me heading downtown, with Julia appearing almost immediately into the beginning of the dream. I'm happy to be hanging out with my best friend again But our method of transportation is quite slow. We're on this long, flat metal car-bed. Not like a truck bed, just literally this long, flat platform we could hop onto. And it's moving very slowly.

But whatever, Julia and I are chatting. Then, we're joined by Tamika. I'm really happy to see her. Then, Lily and Elise show up. As we're riding along the road on this platform, I happily think about how awesome my friends are and how nice it is to see them.

We ride into the middle of this party. Most of the people were about 18-21 years old and very drunk, rowdy and obnoxious. This heavily make-upped chick jumps onto our car and tries to kiss me. I push her away and say, "Dude, I'm not like that."

She says something about how everyone will think I'm frigid, but to be honest, I don't really care.

At a mall
Mum, Jack and I enter a mall. At the front doors, I see Eric. I wanted to avoid the awkward, "Hi, remember me? Alright so... see ya!" conversation, so I pretended not to see him, by turning to mum and enthusiastically describing something. We stopped right beside Eric and his family. I can't pretend now, that would be completely wrong of me, so I turn and say, "Hey, Eric!!"

He's all, "Hey..." and looks kind of uncomfortable to see me there. Maybe because he's with his mum, I dunno (so am I though, so what's the deal?). He doesn't seem to want to chat, so we move on.

I realized, as we were standing next to Eric, that I'm suddenly taller than him. How...? I realize I'm wearing platform boots. I'm REALLLLY uncomfortable in these boots, because I am not the world's most coordinated person (this is true). I was afraid I was going to trip and fall.

Mum gets me to the food court to sit down and she says she'll get me another pair of normal shoes. I'm sort of against just sitting there, I'll be fine to come with, but nope, my boots are already off and I'm in sock-feet. For some reason, other people in the food court try to help by lending me their shoes (?).

Trying to get home
I'm outside somewhere, and I'm trying to catch transit to get home. I'm not entirely sure why this was causing me trouble, but there you go. Jack finds me and we walked towards the bus we need.

9:30a-12:40p
On a train
I see my friend, Carlos, on the train. I say hi to him, but he's a bit unresponsive. He says hi, back, but he seems to not care that this is the first time we're actually seeing each other in years.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"I'm upset at you for not continuing to write to me!" he says (via facebook). "I have something important I need to tell you."

"I'm here, why don't you tell me now?" I said.

"No. I can only write it to you."

Spider-shooting
I'm at my house. I see a spider on on the outside wall. I have a BB gun in hand and I start shooting the spider. I'm happy it's not wrecking the siding as I'm trying to shoot the hated thing.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I don't remember most of my normal dreams that I had this morning because of my three lucids which I had after these normal dreams .

Well, for some reason I was on an errand with my dad, and we left at midnight... I remember driving though I was tired, and turning once....When I got home it was 1:23 am.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

This dream may have been a DEILD, because it continues, kinda, from my past dream. I am by the vanity table, and there is almost a concert going on-I am going to perform it. I am getting ready! This time I put white mascara on for some reason, kinda different but this one ended too quickly, and I never got to do it!

Dream fragment

Me and a group of people are sitting at a table with one another. Someone shows me a picture of my friend, and starts talking trash about him behind his back. Meanwhile, my friend is sitting right behind the person and confronts them. For some reason the first thing that comes to mind when I think where we were was at a hockey rink.

Synopsis: Dream fragment. I'm trapped on a drifting spaceship with men I can't trust

Spaceship!
After a long voyage, I'm given the job of flying our small spaceship back to base. Base is always the same in my spaceship dreams. It's this giant honey-combed complex drifting in space.

Something goes wrong. I don't remember what. But now were stranded. The worst part was, now there are these strange men in our spaceship. I dunno what these hijackers want! Everyone is tense. The last thing we need mindless blood shed while lost in space.

I shy away from the hormone driven males, both my crew and the strangers. As time passes by I realize more and more people have gone 'missing'. Desperate to get out of this cage, I start charting my escape plans - even if meant crashing in alien territory!

I woke up shortly after.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I just went inside this house, since it started raining and thundering. I could tell that the house I was in was in the middle of no where...And, to get to the front door, you have to walk up a full thing of steps. I think the house was supported by still. Kinda cheap log cabin-ish. Very odd looking house, though I REALLY only saw it from the inside. I look outside at the lightning. It's creepy because the lightning is SO incredibly close to the house! I remember thinking that it had done that close lightning thing 12 times...It made me a little scared...

I am tossing softball with V in an unrecognized location (verdant, still a field). I leave for a bit, and walk around a trail found in real life at the research station. When I round a bend, I find that she's there, tossing softball with her IRL boyfriend. Her father is watching approvingly, and I feel rather betrayed.

A house from start to finish.

Before me is a hole in the ground, a basement that's just been dug in the middle of a field. On the other side of the basement are my mom and dad (who I work for), talking to a customer. I have to crawl under the sheets of poly to make it to the other side.

I'm in the same location, but it's shifted to become some sort of self-sufficient compound. I'm a new character, older. I feel a timer go off in my head, telling me it's time to begin classes. I'm a teacher.

Houses. Scare Factor: 1.

Packing up to leave to an airport.

____________

At a high school track, giant tank tries to aim and shoot me.

____________

Have an internship with the mythbusters. They set up a rig with a shotgun by the door. While sitting down and talking with them, I notice homeless people attempting to take a car and push it onto the train tracks to get hit by a train. When i go up to confront them about it they take out syringes and start injecting themselves with a substance, and then proceed to throw the empty syringes at me.

June 28, 2010 - Part Two
4:30p-9:30p
I had to do a night shift tonight, so I settled in for my nap at just after 4:30 this afternoon. Actually, it was probably closer to 5. I had decided to do a WILD attempt, since I read and got some instructions on two very neat-sounding techniques. Essentially, if one didn't work, the other might.

As a side note: I forgot to deprive myself from caffeine, so unfortunately, I didn't do a proper CWILD. But, I did find out that Tylenol Ultra has caffeine in it, but it's 65mg to 500mg of acetomenophine (spelling?). I remember reading that anything less than 120mg of caffeine wasn't really enough, but I didn't want to take 1000mg of acetomenophine, so... that's why my CWILD failed.

Note: CWILD is a technique I learned from another site. It stands for Caffeine Withrdrawl Induced Lucid Dream. It can be combo'd with any induction technique, including DILDs and has no direct relation to Wake Induced Lucid Dreams (other than it can be combo'd).

Anyways, so I settled in and got to work on relaxing each area of my body. I don't really have a set relaxation technique (like the 61-point. That is a brutal tech). I just focus on each area, like feet, calves, thighs, etc and imagine that with each exhale, there's energy floating out of my focused area. It works like a charm, for me). I felt good and relaxed and decided to work first on the "anchoring" technique.

The gist of the technique is to find something to anchor your consciousness/awareness (passively) as you're falling asleep. Normally, I would use my clock, because it ticks really loudly, but today, I was using earplugs. So, I twisted my fingers in a weird position. It... kind of worked. Not really as well as the tick-tock works. I talked myself into sleep and did notice that I was losing focus on my hand and becoming a little too involved in the dreamlets. I noted I was experiencing some visual hallucinations in the form of yellow swirly light playing across my eyelids, but I didn't really pay too much attention to it. Some dreamlets rolled in... again, noted, but not focused. I drifted like this for a bit. This was all set up to be a good start to the WILD.

Unfortunately, my throat was a huge distraction for me. I had ate a grilled cheese sandwich before sleeping, cos I was super hungry. So this made a horrible mucous-y feeling in the back of my throat, which, once I started drifting into the HI, got a bit easier to ignore. But, it certainly delayed the whole process; triggering my body's constant need to swallow. I found breathing through my nose helped bypass that, for some reason.

The other problem was that I'm a bit sick, so my throat started getting massively tickly. To the point where my body decided to say, "Fuck you, I'm coughing," and it wasn't something I could control or supress. It did this twice And wrecked my efforts, twice.

Rebuilding the SP wasn't too difficult, but I will note a few interesting sensations.

1) At one point, the strongest point of the SP, my legs felt all hard and brittle. Like, if I moved them, they would break and crumble. I thought this was pretty neat. I decided to try wiggling my toes, and it took a lot of mental effort to do so.

2) It seemed like each time I "shifted" into a deeper phase of the SP, my heart would race. I had to do a little mental focusing to calm it back down. This was accompanied by my light hallucinations pitching me into complete blackness (each time I shifted). It actual resembled a light being shut off in the room (even though I wore a sleep mask).

3) I noticed some very subtle vibrations. Unfortunately, they were so subtle and weak, that it was difficult to use them of an indication of falling asleep.

So, once I hit that deep stage of leg-brittle, I decided this anchoring thing wasn't helping, nor did I seem to dive into a scene. I began to wonder if I had done the same thing in all my other WILDs... I'm already asleep, and trapped in a mental prison. I was chatting with someone about this a few days ago, who had the same problem as me. He'd get to this point and move, but he kept moving his real body. He said he had to learn how to separate his dream body.

So, I gave up on the anchoring, and I instead tried to activate my dream body's senses. This... pretty much didn't go very well at all. Not much to say other than I couldn't float out or move any dream part or anything. Ughhhhh.

Anyways, once I was wracked with my second bout of coughing, I decided maybe rolling over would help alleviate my throat. I rolled over, got myself all re-relaxed and passed out! I hadn't really intended to pass out. I'm not entirely sure what happened there, to be honest. I never consciously decided to give up and pass out. In fact, I was quite keen on being successful.

Anyways, so once again, I'm thwarted by the ever-elusive WILD.

Hospital Audit
I was in a doctor's office. They asked me to do an audit on the place, like ensuring the equipment was working and such. At this point, I was too tired to do the audit properly. I was half-assing it, walking around the building and not really paying too much attention. I decided to leave it for now and went for lunch.

[Lunch]
I was in a Safeway, which had a mall-like food court in it. But only the KFC was open. I didn't really want "Kentucky Fried Suicide," but seeing how my options were forcibly limited, I got some food.

[Back at the doctor's office]
I got lost in the building. Also, my clothes were now covered in some-foul smelling liquid and I had some dirty yellow stains on my clothes. This part is choppy, but I remember finding my way into a dark room, and watched a movie on the big TV in there.

I left the room when I remembered I was supposed to be auditing. I walked along hallways and wandered into a ward. It seemed to be a maternity ward. I felt like I was trespassing, and left before anyone saw me.

I continued to walk down the hallway and came upon these small cubby-like lockers. There were pink on one side and blue on the other. Then, some nurses appeared. They asked me why I'm covered in stained clothing. I don't remember what I told them.

I completed the audit and snuck out.

Game Show
I was competing against my mother in a game show. We each had to run these obstacle courses 5 times through. Although I didn't know which course would be the harder one, I was in the points lead, so I got to choose the course to run. I chose the one on the right. As our host was explaining the course, and what constituted as a win, I woke up.

I wanted to at least hear the rest of the instructions, or run through the course once. I started a DEILD and was near-successful at chaining back in, but I dragged myself out of it cos I really did have to get up and get ready for work
