false awakening

9/21/2013, 10:00-5:50

I went to sleep, and meditated before doing so for like 15 minutes.

Dream 1:

I remember a giant monster-like creature. I was in Star Wars: Battlefront 2. I was trying to kill the creature.

Wake-Up:

At like 4:50, I wake up for a piss and drink. As I fall back to sleep, I try to mantra, "I will realize I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming."

Lucid Dream:

After about 20 minutes of laying in bed, I suddenly drift into sleep, and awake lucid (WILD! ). I don't really feel like getting up (figures), so I just try to make a sound. The thing I end up doing is trying to hear someone behind me say "Boo!" I think about it, and I hear a very high-pitched "boo" sound! I get frightened that it actually worked, and end up closing my eyes and waking myself up. I'm happy about this, because it's the first time I've managed to do something in a WILD!



9/22/2013, 10:00-7:00

I read Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming and meditated before sleep, and remember one dream:

Dream 1:

I was with Leela (and maybe Fry) from Futurama. We were trying to get to a base. There were these challenges we had to do. There was a hole we had to climb down with a ladder, which landed into a "wave pool" contraption. We made it to some markers and the waves suddenly stopped, revealing ladders to inside the complex we were trying to get to. I then remember going into the complex and into a large, white atrium, where there were two directions at the end; right and left. Me and Fry went left. We found our way to the owner of the complex, who we talked to, a bit aggressively. He said something about going to check the other room. We went over to the other room, where Leela was on a bed, dying from old age. There must have been a time warp. This made the dream sad.

I started out in my kitchen and my habit of biting the tips of my fingers (RC) occurred in my subconscious and BOOM, lucidity. (This was 100 percent unintentional!) So, I told my friend Steven It was a dream world and he says: "Just don't start flying or some sh*t." and so I didn't. I'm not sure why. Then I began telling everyone in this version of my house (it was my house morphed with my high school. Some doors lead to rooms in my house, others to classrooms from school) that it was a dream world, just to see their reaction. No-one believed me. It actually had me doubting for a second that I was dreaming. I even did a nose holding breathing RC to prove it to my sister and she still had what seemed like a logical explanation at the time. But I didn't let this phase me. WARNING: THE STORY GETS SEXUAL/INAPPROPRIATE HERE. DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED. I began trying to have sex with the girls walking around. First with this girl Dee, but I couldn't create the situation right in my head because my dream dad and brother were arguing loudly. So, I tried this girl Shawna and the best I managed to do was make her sit in a chair, backwards (if the chairs facing you, she'd be facing the other way with her legs wrapped around it) and pull her pants down until her butt showed and she began clenching it. I didn't know how to go about this situation so I waited. Then I saw my friend Brandon staring from the other room, it felt awkward, so I went to shoo him away, but he ran. I ended up in my kitchen and Shawna was in there. I decided to try to get her to have sex with me so I squeezed her boobs and rubbed them, etc. and it was working until her daughter came up and asked what I was doing (even in a dream this was very awkward) so I stopped. Then, I went to the lunch room (school of course) and sat at my table from last year. Everyone was there, but some new girl (whom I've seen around school) was at the end of the table. I got naked and put my penis next to her face (left side) and tapper her on her left shoulder. She turned and her face smacked right into it. She began to caress me, but then she turned into this fat kid I know named Steve so I walked away. I was already naked so I began messing around and I was sliding down the table smacking cans with my erection while my lunch buddies cracked up (as did I) and this continued until I woke up. Or did I...

False Awakening: I woke up into an EXTREMELY realistic version of my room, but there was one fault, the ball of light floating in the corner of the room. I got up and did some RC's (light switch, pinch) just to be sure. They proved to me that I was lucid. I looked down and my nephew Alex was on the floor acting... odd so I got him up and let him (and on accident some kittens) out of the room. Then I woke up, for real this time though. It was a GREAT experience!

me and hailey m and some other people were at this huge convention in the woods and there was a huge auditorium and a big screen with all these images and an audience. i was surprised to see hailey bc she was pregnant with triplets. we became friends in the dream. she was a welcoming cousin, just like i guess i always subconsciously wanted her to be (since she always is my friend in my dreams). i remember there was this fundraising bucket with money in it. i took over 10 dollars and didn't tell anyone.

to get out of the woods, we had to walk bc cars weren't allowed. it sucked, there were prickly things everywhere and large animals. we ended up in some lady's boat house and stole a lot of food while she was looking.

then the dream switches to "uc irvine". but it was a dream version, super unrealistic. VERY vivid (maybe bc i took dream enhancer vitamins last night). i was in this room conversing with a lot of people. matt was there and i was so happy for him bc it was his first day at school and he seemed like he was having a great time with lots of friends.

i look over, and what do you know? hes banging this girl in public IN FRONT OF ME and he looks at me and looks sort of guilty but keeps going. i was so hurt that i ran away. but first i said some passionate speech to him and he was like sorry sorry. but it did't make me feel better.

the rest of the dream was me wandering the irvine halls looking for matt. my logic was fucked bc i knew he didn't care about me bc of what he did, but i love him so much that i was kind of unaware of the girl he banged like half the time. such a sad dream

LUCID: in the dream i kept staring at my hands and i knew it was a dream but it was so damn vivid it was ridiculous. i was really tripped out. but then my fingers were regular 5 digits, so i thought i wasn't in the dream anymore. that happened right before i was done figuring out what i wanted to happen in my lucid dream. unfortunately i was stuck, also, bc i have no plan of what i want to happen in my lucid dreams. gotta do that.

I become fully lucid while doing my Apollo trick, and lose all visuals in the process - I have a sense of having a body, but there's no setting. (The Apollo trick is meant to get me out of nightmares, but I have no memory of any dream scene before this, except the thought that I 'lost' visuals.) I start floating close to the 'ground', although there's no ground, and a setting starts to form: the road outside my IRL home.

Memory gap. Next thing I remember is a non-lucid dream in a different setting, involving accidentally upsetting my IRL sister (my recall for this was quite long and detailed). Woke up at 5:37 AM, less than an hour after getting to bed.

Recall for the rest of the day was terrible. Vague fragments of dreams set in Being Human and Lost Boys, with a possible false awakening after the Being Human one - I don't remember 'waking', but I spent a dream scene trying to describe that previous dream. The only details I managed to remember: as Mitchell, needing a werewolf to briefly hold me down under the surface of a river, and the one I've got on hand doesn't live up to George in any way.

9/20/2013, 22:00-5:00

I was reading the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreams" a lot before bed. I also meditated a bit. Also, I drank some water before bed, and thought some mantras in bed before sleeping. All of this got me two dreams and a lucid!

Dream 1:

I was in school. I was sitting in some teacher's class, to the left side of the class room. I was noticing a girl to the right and one desk behind me. That's all I really remember.

Wake Up:

I woke up at 3:43, and stayed up until 3:46. Pissed and drank some water during that time.

Lucid Dream:

Regular Dream Lucid Dream

I was in a dream about politics. I think there was something about Obama's Affordable Care Act in it. There also might have been something about someone's butt. I think these two absurdities, combined with what I did before sleep, caused me to become lucid. I remember feeling a small rush of energy this time, so I wasn't really that lucid, but lucid nonetheless. I fell out of bed, trying to go through the floor of my bedroom, but I just landed on the floor and started "lagging" in and out of the floor :/ . I then tried to crawl to my door, but the dream faded before I could get there.

Dream 2:

I was in this sort of hotel-children-summer-camp thing. I was one of the mentors. This kid, who looked exactly like L from this summer came over to me and said he had to pee. I brought him to the bathroom, and Lucas and I went in too, for some reason. L started peeing, but he then "couldn't control" it, and he started pissing EVERYWHERE! He pissed on the walls, he pissed on the door, he even pissed on ME! Then, while this was happening, a black kid came through the door (probably another kid from this summer) and saw what was happening. He just closed the door and ran, while the bathroom was getting pissed on by the damn Lucas doppelganger. The dream ended there.

Dream ended - 5:50am
Time Lucid - 20 secs
Non lucid - grey text
Semi Lucid - red text
Lucid - blue text

Dream 1
I was in a mansion. I was with some people I knew. Only remember Jane. I saw my Chloe (Dog), she was laying on her bed. Next to her was Rex (Dog), doing the same thing. I was excited to see Chloe, because she isn't alive any more. I giving her a pat and a hug, putting my face to her face. I gave Rex a pat. I must have been sky diving, because I laid on the ground pretending that my parachute didn't deploy (acting dead).

DEILD 5:50am
I think as I laid down on the ground I woke up and did a DEILD. I remember being in the same dream, except I was levitated off the ground, as if I was laying in a bed. I rolled out of bed and did a RC (Checked hand, conjoined finger, turned away to double check, now had one of my fingers cut almost completely off). I walked over towards the mansion and was greeted by Rex, I gave him a pat. I was trying to stabilise the scene and rubbed my hands together (for some reason, it feels weird when I rub hands together). I entered the house and the dream ended.

Dream 2
I was at Bunnings Warehouse with my friend Josh D. We picked up a air compressor. I was now wheeling a bike through the store and it felt as if the bike's brakes were rubbing on the tire, as it was hard to wheel the bike around. There was a female standing outside the door. I was looking for Josh, and figured he would be parked in the delivery area. I saw his car in the distance and told him I would meet him out the front, as I forgot to bring the compressor with me.

I was now on roller blades. I was near the entrance we used to play cricket/footy as kids, except there was a massive incline in the ground which had puddles through out it. I roller bladed through it, skimming the water.

Dream ended.

False Awakening
I woke up in my bed I think. I had a strong feeling this was a false awakening and tried to get out of bed, but struggled. I then woke up.

1. Rane throwing longer than usual and burgundy-colored packets of taco sauce at me. We were in a car? A girl from outside was throwing me some (maybe the right kind? I like Mild orange packets).

2. I’m looking at a collection of coins. There were Supernatural ones with Dean, Sam and Castiel on them. One coin was worth ‘122’. I wondered what guys thought of these coins.

3. False awakening where I go downstairs and see mom on the couch. I’m confused about what time it is and look at the clock, which says something like 10:59. I realize that it’s still nighttime and go back to bed.

4.
~Outside, a woman with short, cropped brown hair is between two arguing men. A third one comes along and pulls her off, and puts her in the trunk of a car. The first guy muses that she was ‘asked, not told’ to leave with him (so maybe it was willingly). I think maybe the kidnapper was her husband? A nearby woman hears her and sneaks in the back. She had shoulder-length wavy brown hair. She talks quietly to someone on a phone(?) about what’s happening, almost in an I’m-a-cop way.

~In a hospital, a woman with dark hair in a ponytail is talking to the lady from the trunk.

~The name ‘Jim’ on a cart and something about two dogs. An African-American nurse lies about knowing him. She had marked on his chart ‘-50’. (I feel like he must have been the kidnapper,)

~A song plays in my head like in a medical show drama. I recall the lyrics ‘you’re not something dying’. It sounded like the band ‘The Fray’. Actually the way the lyrics were sung reminds me of Our Lady Peace’s lyrics from the title ‘I’m Not Made of Steel’,

Notes: Ugh my dreams were so confusing last night, and I know I woke up multiple times. I think I need to focus on getting proper sleep for a bit instead of waking up during the night to type up dreams. Also, I can’t remember if I had an FA before, but wow, that was weird. It wasn’t very vivid though.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some minecraft game and there were creepers attacking everyone, i felt one behind me but just ignored it, creeper didn't exploded and everyone else was panicking, haha. Then i was randomly in the bed in my room at home and that creeper turned into miniature creeper in my hand and was kinda cute, then it turned into some random object and i was back in minecraft and it was some race for wool level with sandcastles, we somehow managed to catapult chest from enemy side to our side using a lever and then there were lots of explosions to the left for some reason.
Then i wake up again and room is different, i am about to realize that i am dreaming but i wake up properly before that.

Dream 2:

I was in some game that looked like Doom, i was going through some laboratory complex, fighting enemies and using panels to open doors. I was playing coop with SilentEternity and the complex was pretty mazey, also there were multiple levels and stairs, and some colorful liquids in tubes. Then as i reached some place that looked like made from nether brick from minecraft, but with multiple fire pits that looked like from spiral knights and huge central one. There was also gates like in spiral knights and i suddenly had 4 battle sprites at same time together with me, two of which were dragons. I've had to fight two bosses one of which was big brown wolf-like beast that could vanish and teleport and i was using firebolt which was really overpowered and was able to destroy bosses in 5 hits. Then i went back to lab area searching for SilentEternity since he said over chat that he found something. Though then i got a bit lost with some switch puzzle-operated doors until dream faded out. Then i woke up twice, and woke up once more, properly.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was at home on PC and there were some people that were annoying/distracting me from PC, i tried to bite them.

Dream 2:

There was some kind of story with some characters. it was happening in some kind of sky land place with clouds and whiteness. The main hero arrived here and was talking to an old man, who mentioned something about year of the dragon. Then two more characters appeared, a man in black clothing and a woman, there was some more talk after which the man launched the red energy at main hero of the story, which caused him to grow draconic wings and then shortly transform into the red dragon fully.

Dream 3:

I wake up in my bed and everything seems to be normal, except that i have dream feeling so i look at hands, they look normal, but i am still sure. I go to balcony, which is open, and finally find something that is not right, there's forest to the left and the right from balcony and it seem to be disappearing into dark kind of fog, also it's night. I take off and fly with my wings, and i almost instinctively let out a short but very realistic roar, which surprises me for a second. I start flying around and soon i fly high into the skies, i can't see ground below, it's all clouds around and it feels great. I continue flying and also look at my hands, they are different, darker colored, but i don't notice it at that point. I continue flying and then find myself flying above water and straight ahead is a harbor of some kind and some houses, i get closer but then dream fades out.
I wake up and get distracted by some other stuff, talking to people and typing stuff, then i get to some other place, sunny and hot, i talk to someone and i notice a plush toy that looks like a blue dragon. Then i wake up.

Dream 1

I was in a super market with my Brother. I thought I saw Nat Mc. She was coming my way and I was reaching for some Tuna on the top rack. I grabbed one of the cans and it was open. I started to eat the tuna from the can, as the girls came my way. The girls were now Latoya and Rach's Mum. Latoya tried to give me a kiss, but held her hand out, for a shake of hands maybe? I didn't want to be greeted that way as I had just ate tuna, and probably smelt like one. Latoya had blonde/orange hair. I told her she looked great with that colour hair, and asked her if she had done it like that before? She said no.
I saw Rach A next to me, and said Hi, what's been happening?

False awakening (no lucidity)

I was trying to DEILD and was finding it hard to get back to sleep as I thought I failed. I got out of bed to whoosh the blankets, thinking it would help my chances of getting back to sleep. I jumped back in bed and want to sleep. *Face palm*

Dream 2

I was at a random house, and was doing something on the PC. I noticed Maryanne C(MC), and her kids had visited us. I greeted MC with a kiss on the cheek. I went to greet the kids, and gave them one hell of a awkward hi-5.

I put the television on her the kids to amuse themselves. We were sitting around and I saw a big bat standing on it's perch. It's perch was just a couple pieces of timber nailed together. It had spread it's wings right out and started to fly around the room. I was convinced it was being controlled by wind force that was in the room. It came inside the lounge we were sitting. It was now spinning as fast as a ceiling fan, coming closer and closer to Sarina's face. She was letting it get closer and closer, trusting that it would stop as it gets too close. MC's boy said to us, imagine if we were on dope and saw this happen.

I noticed a piece of paper that Luke St had written on. It was a convocation of that Luke and the chick from Bathurst (Orange hair?) was having. Some things that were written was, that I was maybe gay? and that my big lips are what scared her. I assume she meant something else.

Dream recall from today's nap, had some problem of not being able to fall asleep at first but in the end still got lucid for a bit.

Dream 1:

I was playing some shmup and it was final stage. It was happening over some kind of futuristic base and there were lots of very hard enemies which i've had to stream along the screen almost op to the upper right corner. It was pretty hard and i was on last life in the end, the base segment of the level ended with a descent into darkness, there was an final boss warning, then it faded out.
I wake up and i feel that i am dreaming, i look at my hand and it's a bit weird, then i get up but dream fades, and this time i wake up properly.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some kind of FPS that was a mix of different games, namely Quake 4, Doom 3 and Prey(Funnily fitting since they all use same base engine), i was going through a bunch of 'testing' maps which were mostly bland rooms with weapons and enemies, i was fighting Doom 3 enemies using quake 4 weapons, then quake 4 enemies using prey weapons, and so on. Then there was another similar map, i've had rocket launcher thing from prey(forgot how is it called) and some ammo, but enemies were quite unique. There were a few enemies that looked a bit like 'harvester' enemies from prey, except they didn't had robotic parts and were fully organic, then there were also jumping mutant pigs, some kind of three headed mutant and some another humanoid enemy. At one point i was out of ammo for rocket launcher thing, but i've had some huge bomb that finished the rest.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1:

I was on skype and i was talking to SilentEternity and PN, i've noticed that their skype avatars were set to dragon pics for some reason and skype group name was changed, and their avatars were changed on some forums as well. We continued talk and them everyone went offline, i went to do some stuff around home then as i get back to PC i see SilentEternity, but he was acting like completely different person now, he changes his nick to "'Dragons In Dragons" and i briefly see something on the roof of one of houses outside(And after recalling i realize that it was a dragon), we continue talk and he mentions that he's indeed someone different, and that i should know him. Then i wake up.

Dream 2:

I am at home and suddenly family members walk into my room and say that i am a chimera created by an experiment? I say that they are wrong and they say something about father being a dolphin, i say that they are still wrong and that i am a dragon, then they add that mother is a dragon... And then that i will be able to see her soon, but that firstly i must come with them for something, i refuse to go with them and everything fades.
I wake up as somebody is throwing some pillows at me and leaves the room, i look at my hand and it is weird, i am dreaming. I get up, shift to quadruped stance and go towards balcony, which is open, then i fly with my wings. It's night and there are lots of small houses and some temples around, i notice a few golden dragon statues. I fly around a bit, looking around, shortly the outside becomes a 'room' again. I fly more and use walls to quickly change direction of flight, i notice a few rare black scales on my hands and my feeling of wings gets very vivid. I fly around some more then i wake up.

non lucid dream: last night I dreamed that I was sitting at home and watching TV late at night. and so Suddenly out of the window stood the man I have feared and wanted to have a dream I'm talking about "Micheal Myers" and I have dreamed about him before, but they were a while ago I dreamed about him. I've wanted to kill him in a dream how cool it would have been. but any case, he stood there staring at me o. and I was quite scared and ran away to the door and I opened it. but there stood the legendary boogeyman and raised his arm but his large bloody kitchen knife and stabbed me in the chest and I fall to the floor and I wake up pretty quickly sweaty. go to the bathroom and look at myself and crying to me next time and I'll take you Micheal.

I'm a fan of the movies "Halloween" so watching them pretty much

9/11/13, 10:00-6:00

Dream 1:

I was in a camp with buildings in the forest. I remember a girl from school.

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

I also became lucid around 6:00. I woke up in my bed, feeling the rush of energy. I couldn't decide if I was awake or asleep! I didn't feel like moving to find out, so I woke myself up .

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps. And new kind of WILD/DEILD entry(for me at least)! Also random fragment i recalled from previous sleep.

Prev sleep:

Dream 3(fragment):

Some kind of factory, molten metal.

WBTB/naps:

Dream 1(fragments):

I was doing stuff at home and was typing something on my PC, then i shouted something from balcony and heard some talk outside, then that talk started coming from weird directions.

Dream 2:

I wake up and go back to sleep while trying to DEILD, shortly some voice starts calling, and asking me about something, i feel falling sensation and open eyes, there appears to be hole leading into darkness below me right in the bed and i start falling into it while 'glitching out' aka periodically teleporting back to top like some kind of video game lag. Then everything fades.
I wake up and look at my hands, they are weird so i am still dreaming. I get up from the bed, go into quadruped stance and focus as much as i can while shouting commands, it works out and i start becoming bigger and i feel as my head and neck becoming different and longer, soon i am almost ceiling high. I try to go out through(Pretty big) balcony doorway but dream suddenly fades out and i wake up.

Dream 3:

I am in the bed, looking through window outside. I see the moon, and it's daytime, it's grey and it's moving strangely quick. I think that "if i am dreaming it moon should start moving towards me". Moon suddenly transforms into Earth, or some Earth-like planet, not sure, and starts rapidly getting bigger-closer, surely i am dreaming! It crashes into Earth and there are debris and stuff floating outside and massive earthquake too. It also became kinda low/zero gravity. Strangely my room didn't changed at all. I get up and notice two characters fighting outside in the flight, one of them has black wings. I try to phase through window but suddenly curtain appears in front and blocks my way. Dream destabilizes but i manage to force it back, curtain attacks me by literally trying to cover me and my face, i tear it apart a few times but it keeps coming, then dream fades to black.
Then i wake up, twice.
