Chaos and enlightenment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Went to bed much too late last night (again). Did LD mantra, etc. I remember one dream, somewhat faintly. I recall that there was absolute anarchy and chaos, and nothing was making sense. However, there was also a sense of enlightenment and learning, a coming of great knowledge. It was a pretty abstract dream, all in all. I've been reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, which may account for this dream.

Second Lucid!! (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had dreams galore last night! It was my day to sleep in, but it was still very impressive. Among these dreams was my second lucid. I was sitting in the moonlight in some room somewhere, when it suddenly hits me that I'm dreaming. I become very happy, but I am able to contain it much better this time. Instead of immediately waking up, I try spinning, which was very unusual. My entire vision went black, and I kept reminding myself that I was dreaming. While I was spinning, I also saw advertisements. When I stopped spinning, I was still lucid, but I believe I had a birds-eye view of some forest in Italy, with a bear romping around. I felt the dream fade again, so I spun, which led back to the blackness and the ads. This caused a false awakening, which immediately caused a real awakening.

He's a Pirate (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Among my many dreams of the night was one in which I was a pirate on a pirate ship. I was among a portion of the crew that was mutineered agaist my the rest of the crew. We knew that the mutiny was coming, and what the others planned to do to us, so we made preparations. We knew from rope fragments left behind that the other pirates wanted to tie us to the hand railings and dispose of us later. Therefore, while no one was watching, we loosened all the bolts holding the railing down. But then came the mutineers, who tied us up as expected. However, they went so far as to throw towels over our heads so we could not see. Just as they reached me, I woke up.

Santa Claus (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I also had a dream about Santa Claus, during his summer break. He was big and fat, and very jolly. He was telling me how he had to pick up his mother and sister. He also said that he should build a second turbo-sleigh, so that his family could fly themselves around. Meanwhile, a friend of mine was just putting the finishing touches on a book of his. He proudly waltzed into the library, run by Mrs. Claus. She looked the book over and remarked on its expert craftsmanship. She said she would add it to the library.

4.0 Fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I also had a fragment in which I received mini-pins for my 4.0 achievements, something I had no prior knowledge about. By the time they were all attatched, my letter was completely covered by pins. I also remember rearranging the pins on my gold letter. I believe there was also something about a watch with my school mascot, and class rings, too. As far as fragments go, it was fairly detailed.

Grandpa (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

My grandfather passed away a few months ago, so I'm not too surprised by this dream. My family and I were going around and naming different plots of land after people past. We finally got to "Grandpa Island." It should be noted that this very plot of land has been visited before in previous dreams, and that I've never seen this area before in reality. The island was a rectangle, with the top third dry and grass-covered, while the rest was reedy and swampy. Apparently, this is where my Grandpa liked to sit and meditate. From there, however, the dream got really strange. All of a sudden, I was living out an autobiography of my Grandpa. I hoisted this enormous tree out of the ground using only brute strength. I then began to bash it repeatedly against a cliff in an effort to break it in half, but the narrator warned against it, so I stopped, for fear of flying shrapnel. There were power lines overhead, so I couldn't lift the tree, but I had to find some way to dispose of it. I was reluctant to throw it over the edge of the cliff and into the sea. So, I sought out other means of disposal. There was a playground, a soccer field, and all kinds of other public places, but none would do. Just as I found a place to dump the tree, I woke up.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Had two dreams last night. The first one was a fragment, in which I let the dogs out to take care of business. Not much detail, overall.

Feminism on DV (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The second dream of the night wasn't terribly vivid or exciting. I was on the DV forums, commenting on a thread. The thread title was something to the effect of, "Help for females only." I remember being surprised that such a thread even existed, and posted a comment to that effect. I awoke shortly afterwards.

Dinner with grandma (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Did mantra, went to bed late. Don't remember much. I remember only one dream. I drive up to my grandmother's house, as I am supposed to meet her for dinner. I walk through the door, but no one is about. At first, I assume the worst, but further inspection leads me to find my grandmother lying asleep on the floor. I'm making clicking sounds, like a bored child will do, which caused her to startle awake, which startled me. The dream ended sometime after that.

Car starter fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I performed the lucid dreaming mantra last night (as always), and, despite going to bed very late, I had two dreams and a fragment. In my fragment, I can remember my mother giving me a remote-controlled car starter for my car, in order to keep it warm in the winter.

Homicidal biology teacher (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In my second dream, I was working at some sort of crazy place. I had no idea what it was or what we were doing, but I do remember that hired hitmen had been sent to capture and subdue us. I'm gonna say that they were robbers. I managed to escape, but the oddest thing was that my biology teacher remained untouched, and so it was only plausible that she was the ring leader. The dream gets stranger from there, but it was very detailed and lifelike.

Walking down dream journal path (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The third and final dream of the night was also very vivid and lifelike, although it was a tad shorter. I was staggering about in the dark down a road somewhere in the woods. I believe I was looking for the name of a certain trail or path. I couldn't see well, so I took a flash light out of my pocket and used it to find the path. There was a sign on the outside of the path reading, "The dream journal of Oneironaut." Apparently, this made sense to me, so I descended into the forest. There was a wooden downhill boardwalk, and mosquitos everywhere. Just as I reached what I had been looking for, I woke up.

Vivid grocery store dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I went to bed at a much more reasonable time, plus I got to sleep in. Didn't really do the mantras (shame), but I had my first 4-dream night, and each dream I recall in vivid detail. In the first dream, I'm at some sort of local grocery store that has just opened. I'm in a small town, so everything has that sort of small-town charm. The market was big and full of warm earth-tone colors, but the biggest attraction was all the fruit, not to mention the thanksgiving stuff. I remember going over to where the fruit would normally be in a store, only to find frozen turkeys. However, next to the turkeys were all sorts of side dishes, including figgy pudding. I've never had this, but it looked delicious, so I scooped some up. It not only smelled good, but tasted good, as well. There was a giant, purple fig-thing in it, which was crunchy on the outside and very sweet. To anyone who says it is impossible to taste in your dreams, I say Balderdash! At any rate, I continue to walk through the aisles. The remarkable thing about the store was that it carried so many rare and hard-to-get items, such as dried longans. Hefting the bag, I saw the price and the number of pounds, and with a few calculations (that's right, I did math), I figured that the sack was $8.00 or so, so I put it back. When I finally get to the front counter, my dad is shooting the breeze with the manager. It was around this point that my dream ended.

Almost-lucid hard-on dream (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

In my second dream, I'm walking through the halls of school with a hard-on, and I'm not sure why. At any rate, I decide to start pleasing myself, despite being surrounded by people. I'm really not thinking clearly, apparently. So, I get to the doors of the school, when I hear jeering and snickering, and realization hits me like an oncoming truck. I'm awash in embarassment. But then it dawns on me that no one will remember any of this because it is a dream. The dream continued on for a bit, but I never really became lucid. So close...

The great race (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This next dream is a bit shorter than the others, but still very vivid. I'm on a cross-country race with my mother against other family teams. We each have a car (ours is a van, the others have pickup trucks), and we're racing down the interstate. I remember that we had to stop and go get gas, which caused us to lose time. However, we soon caught up and had to make a turn. Instead of making the turn, however, we floored it straight on, into a fishing camp, which led right to my next dream.

The camping episode (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The final dream of the night was very vivid. I was walking around this campsite, which was also a fishing hole, when something caught my attention. My friend was hanging upside down from a tree, caught up in his fishing line. He had a broken arm wrapped in a pink cast for reasons unknown. Technically, I remember being in the site before, and noticing him in the tree, but I never really bothered to do anything. But at any rate, I scaled the tree and untied him. With superhuman reflexes, he reached out and put me in a choke hold with his cast, saying something like, "Yeah, why didn't you untie me before?" He let me go, and we climbed down (teleported, perhaps?) onto the ground. My mother and scout master were all too eager to make fun of me/lecture me. The dream ended sometime after. The strangest thing about this dream was that I'd been there before. This was not the first episode with the exact same fishing shack. There have been numerous dreams all including the fishing shack. Granted, each dream is different in some huge way, but the shed stays there. Also, I'm not sure I've ever seen the shed in real life.

More computer fragments (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Did the lucid dreaming mantra, with mixed results. I woke up and remembered my dream clearly, but I didn't write it down right away; consequently, I can only guess what my fragment refers to. I believe I was on my computer (again), which is becoming a real dream sign to me, and I believe I was in the process of sharing files. Again. This is starting to get old...

Working at the car wash (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I did the lucid dreaming mantra briefly last night, but I went to bed at a much more reasonable time. I remember two dreams. In the first dream, my boss has decided that I'll be washing cars once in a while, and that I should learn how to do it. He sends me out to go learn how to use the pressure washer. It looks kind of like a small, chrome cannon. The dream ended sometime after that.

The forums (Non-lucid)

In the second dream, which I don't remember nearly as clearly as I did a few minutes ago, I'm pretty sure I'm on the DV forums, talking about how far away the earth is from the sun.

Photoshop fragments (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I did the lucid dreaming mantra, but I went to bed late. I did, however, have a couple of decent dreams. The first one I recall is a fragment I have of working in photoshop. This is really no surprise, as I just downloaded photoshop 5.5, GIMP, and photoscape.

Fueling up (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

The next dream was a fairly long, detailed non-lucid dream. My family and I were on the way home from a highschool football game, when we noticed the gas was running low. We pulled into a gas station to refuel, when my mother pointed out that the dogs would have an accident if we didnt' hurry. Then, for some odd, unknown reason, my parents begin to mess around with the rearview mirror, trying to remove it and set it up again. It was all very odd and incredibly detailed, but to go into detail would only be confusing.

File sharing fragment (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I tried to MILD last night, which failed, most likely on account of my excessive tiredness and the fact that I had 3 hours of sleep. At any rate, I remember a fragment of a dream. I'm uploading files to the computer, as I was last night, through the DV chat room. I remember that someone had tried to share these tiny .wma files. They couldn't have been more than 3 kilobytes large. That's about all I remember, tonight I shall strive to go to bed at a more reasonable time.

Throwing Away My Hats (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a dorm room that was different from the on that I had a few months ago, but I had the same roommate. The door opened on the North side of the room, and my bed was on the East wall. On the desk next to my bed were a bunch of the same type of basball cap. The only differences were the colors of the bills. I grabbed a few of the reds, blues and whites and decided that I didn't need them. As I walked to the door to throw them out, I woke up.

Note: No WILD again, which is pretty much becoming the norm. My first goal was to go and heal MoSh, and that was in my mind when I fell asleep. I am getting a lot better at the FA's, though. That is getting to be my most consistent form of lucid dreams lately! My memory wasn't great, had a couple of short dreams which are both in this entry.

*Darkness Within*
I got out of bed to go to the bathroom. I am getting into the habit, so I did a RC almost right away and found I was dreaming. I remembered my first goal of healing MoSh. I opened a portal and headed off to MoSh's inner world, now I was fully lucid.

I entered MoSh's inner world in a usual place. I was in the front yard of MoSh's house in his inner world. I looked around and spotted MoSh. He was standing in the yard, facing away from the house. The general area was bright and sunny, but the area right around MoSh was dead and dark… the grass right around MoSh was dead, it looked like he was standing in the middle of a cloud of smoke. I went over to MoSh. MoSh looked at me strangely. He looked weird. His eyes looked strange. There were black swirls in them, though he was smiling at me. It looked a bit creepy… I told MoSh I was there to do a healing spell on him. He said go ahead. I used the song Silver and Cold, pulled dark energy out of MoSh and into me. I was paying more attention this time to be sure I didn't try to absorb another entity with MoSh's dark energy. When the song was complete, I used Touch My Heart and replaced that dark energy with light energy. The cloud of gloom around MoSh seemed to disappear into nothing, and he looked normal again.

Well, MoSh looked mostly normal again… he looked worried. He said he was worried about Asuka, he thought the intruder might have infected her with dark energy. I followed MoSh into the house. Asuka was sitting in the living room watching something on television. MoSh seemed hesitant to look at the screen. There was a puppy playing on the television. It was cute. I told MoSh it was cute. He looked and agreed. He said he wanted to heal Asuka. Asuka smiled and said she was fine. MoSh wanted to be sure. So we did a healing spell on Asuka. I didn't sense any dark energy in her, so I just went straight to Touch My Heart. The room filled with golden energy and that golden energy flowed into Asuka. She looked very relaxed. I sat down on the couch beside her for a bit.

I was sitting there. Asuka had a remote control in her hand, and she was channel surfing. I wondered what she was looking for. She said she was looking for a movie to get into. I thought that was interesting... also that she had answered a question I had only thought... She finally settled on a channel. There were people on the screen talking to each other about dreams... something to do with traveling to other worlds in their dreams. Cool! Sounded like an interesting movie! Asuka got up, and went over to MoSh. They went over to the television and stepped into the screen. Woah... I'd forgotten about the idea of going into the movie... but that had been part of the plan. Ok, so now it was my turn. I saw MoSh and Asuka in the movie now. The other characters seemed mildly surprised to see them, but not overly alarmed. I went to push my way into the screen... and instead my head came into contact with a solid surface. The TV wasn't a gateway... it was a solid wall! Wtf? I tried to push my hands through the screen, but I was getting nowhere. It was frustrating. I tried a couple more times, getting frustrated even more, and then I woke.

*Stargates*
I was at school, or I think it was school. It looked more like a mall. A lot of stores, but I was thinking it was a school. I was there with Tigress. I walked down the main hall with her, looking at the different stores. I was thinking they were all there to sell school supplies. There was one that had a lot of games in it. Most likely for game design research. I went inside. There were computers and games and such, and in the back of the room… there was a stargate! Awesome! It looked so real. I went over to it and looked closer. Someone asked where I wanted to go. I said I wanted to go to… I didn't have time to finish saying that when it opened of its own accord. Something was coming through… a lot of somethings. Gou'ald were coming through. They were shooting at people as they ran for cover. Tigress looked around and then pulled me along. There were Gou'ald attacking random people. I wanted to stop them. I was trying to pull away from Tigress, but she seemed determined not to let go of me.

I went with Tigress out of the mall / school into a grassy field. No parking lot? Never mind, there was a space ship hovering in the field. I called to the people who were running away to follow us to the space ship. A lot of people started following us, some of them were ahead. A lot of the people either didn't hear or didn't understand or didn't believe, so they weren't following. They were heading off in random directions. I reached the ship. A couple of people helped me into the ship. I turned around to grab Tigress. I reached for her hand… and then she disappeared. What the hell? Where had she gone? Had the Gou'ald done something? I had to find her! More people were climbing into the ship, but I just wanted to go back and find Tigress. I jumped back out of the ship, some of the others protested and some said I was nuts, and I started looking through the crowds for her. She couldn't have just vanished! That was impossible, unless… I did a RC… and I found I was dreaming!

Yes! I used Battery on a bunch of Gou'ald… but I got too excited at finding this was a dream and I could do something about it that I woke up.

I should have gone lucid from this...

#1 my PDA only has bluetooth, not WiFi, #2 my car doesn't supply internet, #3 I can't run a torrent program on my PDA, and #4 if I could, I would just have paused it and left rather than worry about it messing up

I'm getting pretty tired of missing so many obvious things...sooner or later the RCs must start bleeding into my dreams.

But oh well, here's what I remember:

Dream 1: I was running on a track and jumping hurdles, like in an olympic competition.

Such a boring and pointless dream, IMO...I'm not a runner, and I don't have a desire to be, so why I would dream this is beyond me

Dream 2: I was running (lots of running last night...that must mean something) from someone. I don't know who or why I had to run away, but I was. And I was in a suit and wearing a top-hat. A midget DC told me to hurry and follow him down a hole because it was the safest place, so I followed. Immediately I started to slip and slide and fall down the pit. Tt was too dark for me to see anything, but fortunately I was wearing infrared goggles all of a sudden, so I switched them on. (They really made things look like infrared goggles in real life do!) What I saw through the goggles was like a cave made out of membranes...at first I thought I was being swallowed by some huge alien, but then I slid down onto rocks and figured otherwise. I switched off the goggles because it seemed I was unable to stop my descent, and I honestly would rather not know where I was going, considering I'd probably be dead when I hit the bottom. The darkness caused me to lose my sense of direction, then. Down was up and left was right and...it was so confusing! And I was always sliding. Fast, but in a constantly changing direction. I turned the goggles back on a couple times just because I couldn't fight curiosity, but it didn't really help me reorient myself. It kind of made it worse to have a visual disorientation too, actually.

Eventually I woke up from that, but I can't remember where. Another dumb dream, anyway. I wonder what's up with all the running, though...

No lucids, no complete dream memory...and I remained still and calm when I woke up each time! Somehow I just really messed up with that one...oh well, I guess I'll just keep plugging away. Sooner or later a dry spell ends, right?
