false awakening

WILD

I had awoken to some thunder, heavy rain, and hail. I checked the time. 12:04. I had went to bed at around 9PM. All the ruckus stopped except for the rain (which I find quite soothing ^_^) so I decided to try a WILD. After about 4 times I had turned over since I started, I finally got it. I don't recall hitting sleep paralysis, but I do remember my eyelids starting to flash. These the formed into images (that I can't recall) and I was in a dream.

As I entered, I decided I just wanted to go along with what was happening so I didn't overexcite myself. I was in a classroom and we had apparently took a quiz the day before(before I was in the dream). The quiz was to spell the word "Cat" and the teacher was announcing the results. Only 3 people got it wrong. I was one of them. I spelled it "Kap"

There is a gap in my remembrance here... The next thing I remember is that I was beside my friend Evan. He grabbed me by the wrist and teleported me. We were in a small enclosed jungle that we couldn't escape. There were about 3 black and white stripped lions in with us. They hadn't spotted us but the feeling was that they would hurt us if we didn't leave. Evan the proceeds to laugh at me, and is about to teleport away. I grab his wrist but he's gone and I'm still here. I try dream spinning to teleport back away, but there was no hope. The lions still hadn't spotted me but I woke up.

I was back in my bed, and I realized how excited I was to just of had a WILD! I get on my computer and start typing word for word, ever exact detail I could remember about the dream. I knew it beginning to end, and it lead to a lot of typing. I was somehow notified to do a favor for a friend then, which I did and came back home to type the rest of the dream. I checked the time. It was 10:45PM ish. I was worried I wouldn't get enough sleep for the night.

I woke up again. This time, I did a reality check. I wasn't dreaming anymore, and I had just experienced my first WILD and a false awakening. I went back to sleep normally...

Soccer


My next, and last dream of the night was just a fragment that I could remember. It had to do with soccer, and I was playing a 1v1v1 match on the city fields. Being there 3 teams, our team happened to sit out first and wait for our turn. Me and another 2 friends were conversing. We had missed when our team got on the field, but we could still get on. That's all I remember :s

So tonight was pretty interesting, first I became a TV character, then a model, and then I accidentally had my first WILD. I only wish I could remember more of the second dream, stupid false awakenings! And stupid me for not doing RCs!!

#1 - Possessing Penny [Non-Lucid]

I think there might have been a brief moment of lucidity in this one, but I'm going to list it as Non-Lucid because I'm not totally sure. It started out with me at a study group with Leonard and Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory and a couple random guys, we were individually doing these textbook assignments and obviously they were doing way better than me. I was embarrassed to be doing so badly so I put down my notepad and picked up my two (absolutely gigantic) binders and went to pick up a small pile of clothes I'd apparently brought with me as well, but I dropped them all because I was hurrying too much and ran out the front door (we were in some fancy house). Through the windows it had been nighttime outside, but on the outside it was daytime, and also I didn't notice this at the time but now that I think about it the second I got outside there was no sign of any house anywhere, we were by like my elementary school playground. Leonard followed me outside and at this point I became Penny! I was aware of the change, which I never am in normal dreams. Things got really vivid at this point, so I think I actually became lucid when I realized that was happening, but after that I went back to non-lucid but was still really excited about the transformation. Leonard started asking me what's wrong. He was crying and I started calling him Sheldon but I knew it was wrong, and then he corrected me saying it was Isaac. I gave him some excuse like I had a spirit trapped inside me or something, to get away with being Penny without having to know whatever she should know in that situation, and he asked me if I still knew that it was 1993, and I said yes, though I was still lying. (Also, 1993...?) I walked around people playing some sports and was just excited to be Penny, but after that I woke up.

#2 - You're My Angel [Non-Lucid]

I remember very little about this dream so it's basically a fragment, but only because of false awakenings. What I do remember is that I was some absolutely gorgeous and pretty tan woman, the way I thought of it at the time was I looked like a Victoria's Secret model. I was wearing some cute yellow bikini, and I was sitting at my computer warning people about the hacked DV. There was definitely more to it than that, but I had a false awakening where I wrote it down so I forgot some of the details, then ANOTHER false awakening where I wrote it down and forgot even more, so by the time I actually woke up that's all I had left.

#3 - Accidental First WILD [WILD]

I was lying in bed not really intending to fall back asleep after the last dream, so I stayed there awake for a bit but then I started to zone out and drift off a bit. Out of nowhere a dream scene formed around me almost instantaneously. There was a song playing somewhere in the background of my mind, and then I was in my parents' bedroom but there were a few tables set up by the bed that aren't normally there and some of my family members were walking around. Next to me were my cousins P and G, but they looked a few years younger than they are now. Everything was extremely vivid, basically indistinguishable from real life. I just thought to myself "Okay, this is interesting...." P and G were playing a game of Clue, I watched them for a minute and then P looked at me and said "Hey, how're you doing in the closet?" to which I responded "Good...?" I was a little caught off guard and didn't really try to stabilize or retain lucidity. I heard the song from the beginning start playing really loudly but still distantly again, and then the dream collapsed and I woke up into sleep paralysis. I didn't really realize what was going on though, I was hallucinating and my eyes were open so there was lots of confusing stimuli. I was getting a third-eye type visual of myself typing up the dream in my phone but I wasn't sure if I was actually doing it. Around my room I could see that my wall proportions were extremely distorted, the room looked almost triangular, and the light was quickly switching between nighttime and daytime. I could see one of my pillows hanging off the bed (which it actually wasn't) and it was covered in large piano keys. It was all incredibly weird, but then I woke up fully and realized I hadn't actually typed up the dream yet, so I got up and did that.

Hold on a sec.... If I had done a reality check when I was typing the dream in sleep paralysis, would I have been able to re-enter a lucid dream with my eyes open!?

But anyway, that's it for that night. Pretty interesting if I do say so myself, even if not incredibly detailed.

I was lying in bed and lost awareness, a loud high-pitched sound made me snap back into awareness right before falling asleep, so I went with it and had my first WILD experience. As I suddenly woke up I was looking down from a red motorcycle (thoughts of awareness and lucidity unfortunately gone already), there was a car parked right beside me and in the rearview mirror I could see a camera team coming out of a van walking in the direction of a empty piece of land to my right, after the car. As I went over there I saw 2 cats, one which is actually the cat I have in my secondary home. She was being slowly tailgated by another cat which wasn't happy about my cat being in her territory but she immediatly turned around after my cat got picked up by me (which my real cat actually doesn't like). With her on my arms I walked a bit to the left where a block of houses began of which the first one looked like my secondary home, after I let my cat down the dream faded.

Welp, I had two lucids last night! My recall was kind of crappy because of smoking weed during the day, which I'm definitely taking a break from again because it's negatively effecting my dreaming. :T But I did smoke calea too right before bed and that increased the vividness of what I do remember, so at least there's that. Before falling asleep, I started off the night with some meditation, and I tried to push the idea into my head that I would be lucid and that I was looking for Link, preferably at school. I'm not sure how much progress I made on the latter since there are a few dreams I can't remember at least. :\ But at least the former worked!

#1 - Return Of The Mall School [Non-Lucid]

This one starts out at a mall school, a thing I usually often get in dreams where gigantic malls are interpreted as schools (with individual stores as classrooms and stuff like that), but actually haven't had in quite a while now. I see this one annoying kid from high school walking around and want to avoid him so I go into the bathroom. While I'm there I think I have to pee, but I decide not to. I remember that I'm supposed to be leaving school with M so I walk out and see this girl L and another girl who's hazy in my memory talking about me. I suddenly start sliding on the floor, something which I've noticed I've been doing a lot lately in dreams, like I'll purposefully slide myself on the ground and ride the slide over some really long distance as if it's just some normal thing to do, and I even have good steering during it. So I do that and end up over at Barney from How I Met Your Mother, and I think I became Robin at this point. (And I just realized that we're in a mall, which is funny if you watch the show. ) We just start making jokes and walk out of the mall school and end up at my car, and we get in to drive off but then the dream starts fading and I wake up.

#2 - Hunted Down [DILD]

This one is rather bizarre. Though some of it seems almost first-person at times, I'm pretty sure the whole thing was actually third-person. So there are these two guys on a plane, and the plane crashes into a cloud (yes, a cloud) that turns out to actually be a mirror that was just floating and reflecting other clouds. Both guys jump out of the plane trying to hit the water below (they're flying over the ocean or something, but there are also lots of glaciers and the like, so maybe around Antarctica?). One of the guys hits the ice too hard though and doesn't make it. The other guy is swimming around in the freezing water and then someone comes down and is scouting for them, which makes the guy think that this was no accident and they were being hunted. So the guy starts acting like he's dead and just floating in the water, and he almost gets away with it but then the scout figures him out, so he jumps out of the water and starts running forward with the guy chasing after him with a gatling gun. Suddenly the scene changes back the mall school's food court, and the scout is firing like crazy but the guy easily dodges it all and people standing around are stunned. Then I think the dream started falling apart because I'm back at home, but still third-person but without anyone to see, my perspective is just quickly bouncing around my living room. I became lucid during this part, which was very odd. I remember thinking something about games in relation to what was going on... but unfortunately that's the least vivid part of the dream in my memory because after that I had a false awakening where I managed to write down every single part leading up to that, then woke up for real and had to write the first part down again out of fear I would forget it so the lucid part became really hazy.

Must. Start. Doing. RCs.

#3 - Reconnecting With Old Friends [DILD]

This one is practically a fragment, but I did become lucid for it. I remember watching people playing video games in my house, and then I noticed that our old cat Karma was there. She disappeared (died most likely, she was really old) when I was in like second grade I think, and I really missed her. She also seemed younger than I ever saw her and maybe meshed with some properties of Miu, our most recent cat but who also disappeared around a year and a half ago. They really were similar in some ways and my mom frequently accidentally called her Karma. I really felt like they were both there again in this one dream cat and I became lucid when I felt their presence, so I just pet her for a minute and played around with her until something else grabbed my attention and I lost lucidity. I don't really remember what happened after that, but I really enjoyed this dream anyway.

Fragment - Waiting to hang out with J but at my house, though I remember walking up the staircases at his apartment complex....

So that's it for this night. I'm not going to smoke any weed today, so hopefully I'll remember more tonight!

So my first dream started out with me driving my car to a massive rave. I was looking around for parking at a huge lot and once i found one i got out right away. While walking towards the entrance some guy approached me asking if i had some molly's with me(x). I told him that i had 3 on me and would sell one to him. After i told him that, my dream skipped to where I was in the middle of the huge crowd inside the rave just jumping and dancing, i couldn't hear the music too well since this was a very short sequence, i remember the DJ picking me up and everyone going crazy but I woke shortly after.

I fell back asleep and found myself going into a huge movie theater. From what I got out of the dream, it seemed that the movie I was going to watch was made for people who were rolling and they give you 3d glasses to enjoy the show as well. I popped one before i got in and sat down. The theater was big but right next to me was my old friend nick and some girl i didn't pay attention to. He asked me if i had an extra molly which i did, so im pretty sure i gave it to him. Once the movie began, i Woke up shortly after. BTW im not a drug dealer or anything but I do know some and have been offered many times

So this was a false awakening but it was not vivid enough for me to think its real and not clear enough for me to realize im dreaming. I woke up in bed and when i looked at the clock it was about 10:30AM. I felt really pissed I just slept in and missed work so i called my boss right away as he gets pissed when i dont call in before work actually starts. As soon as he answers he starts telling me "So your calling me at this time to tell me your not coming in today, after ive told you many times to always advise me before 8:30 (when work begins)" I started telling him in a very sick tone that Im so sorry i didn't even wake up before, something must have happened to my alarm, and it wouldn't happen again. He immediately realizes i sound horrible and says its okay just get better and ill see you tomorrow. I tell him thank you and hang up. I wake up for real shortly after...

I didn't get to sleep as much as normal today, but I will probably get a nap later to make up for it. In any case, I have a couple short fragmented dreams, but nothing big. Hopefully the fun, vivid dreams will happen when I get my last couple hours of sleep in this afternoon.

Dream One: On a whim, since I haven yet to become fully lucid in a dream, I tried what I think might be called a WILD, where I laid in bed and tried to picture what I wanted to dream, and stay conscious when I slipped into sleep. I don't really remember much of the dream. I think there was a car in the dream at one point. The only clear impression I have of the dream is running around with a guy and a girl around my age. I feel like we were searching for something and/or trying to protect someone. I woke up feeling really happy, so it couldn't have been a bad dream, but it just completely eludes me as to to what happened.

Dream Two: I am sitting in a car,. It's one of those teeny tiny compact cars, and it kind of reminds me of a Volkswagen beetle. No sooner do I find myself in the car, the thing starts filling up with water! There's no rain or water outside the car, just on the inside. I open the car door and crawl out, but the water doesn't empty out, it stays in the car and keeps filling up. As if there's some sort of invisible water barrier holding water in the car. I notice there's a car beside mine, that looks like mine only a different color. I think one was red or green, and the other one was blue, but it's hard to remember. A girl climbs out of the other car, and I immediately recognize her as being with me. I can't recall her name or anything, but I'm sure I know her and have spent the entire day with her. She starts cursing. I ask what's going on, and she tells me that a spell was cast on the cars to fill them with water and slow us down. She grabs a phone and calls for a tow truck. It appears instantly. The tow truck moves our cars out of the way and into a grassy yard. I walk over to my car, and I think it was blue. I open the door thinking the water will stay inside like before, but it doesn't. Water pours out of the car and makes a big puddle on the ground. The puddle is clean, and I notice somehow a kiddie pool has appeared under the door and caught all the water in the car, so my feet aren't even wet. The other girl calls out that the spell has weekend, but we still can't drive the cars far until everything dries out. She pulls her car forwards and angles it so the sun is shining into the open door, and I do the same. Then I take off my shoes and walk back to the kiddie pools. Suddenly I'm in a bathing suit. I dip my feet in the kiddie pool and the water is very warm and comfy. I think that since we can't go anywhere until the car dries out, I might as well relax for a while. Then I wake up.

Dream Three: I dream that I am in the old house I lived in with my grandma when I was a teenager. I'm sleeping in my bed, but my little boy is there, sleeping in the big bed with me. I wake up, and decide to go get a drink of water. When I get into the kitchen I see movement in the sun room. I walk into the sun room, and in the predawn light find my best friend Ambies in her pajamas as if she had been sleeping in the bed, only she was sitting up looking around. I ask her if she's ok, and she says she's scared. She heard a faint creaking door, and then a very scary scream. She said if she heard the door creak, it had to be one of the neighbors close by, and since she heard a scream if scares her that something bad has happened to someone, and if so whoever hurt them might come over and hurt us since we're so close. I'm a little unnerved by this myself, so I peek through the curtains trying not to disturb them as much as possible in case anyone's watching from outside. I don't see anything but woods, so I try to relax and tell her it must have been a bad dream. I go to the bathroom, then go back to the bedrooms. This time, instead of going to my bedroom, I go into my brothers room. My brother isn't there, but my grandma and my daughter are and they are sleeping in what should be his bed. I peek through the window in that room, and see a white dog in the woods. It reminds me of a white German Shepherd I've seen. It digs around in the bushes a minute, then turns and sits down, looking out across the yard. I leave the room trying not to wake anyone up, and then go back to my room. I peek out my window, and see that it's raining. The neighbors across the street have their garage and front doors standing wide open. I wonder it that's where the scream came from. I watch as a man in a suit and a round dress hat walks into the house with a briefcase. I find it odd he doesn't wipe his feet as he goes in. I yawn and decide to go back to sleep. As soon as I lay down my little boy rolls over and buries his face in my back. I wake up.

1:00am

Emotional
I'm in a classroom, we all meet up, and we are sorted by the colour of our hair and if/when we took showers. Redheads were associated with rage and being boisterous? We wait, i sit down and realize i only have a towel covering my lower body. I turn around and see a purple group that has arranged themselves in the middle of a group of chairs. Some teacher comes out and sorts out the classes, clearly upset. SA says he is getting bored and wants a smoke, she gets more upset and says her son took his own life last night :/

Fragment: Something about living and dying a world where you are free from responsibilities, I can remember a blocky world in the sky, me and others are jumping around on colourful shapes.. it gets really uncomfortable and I try to wake up.

4:30am

Spiritual
I thought I wrote this down already...
On a train, fight with hoenheim, cutscene for 40 minutes with three parts. Something about flying in waves to match the current of the wind. We were in a train surrounded by black explosive balls, apparently we were robots of ourselves and we needed to die to awaken our real selves.. Talking about his past, a train came in with loads of bodies, a girl found an arm and screamed, the guards were trying to take her away.

Fragment: In a suburb with big houses cats have gone loose, i hear people talking and investigators going to the houses
Missed first alarm at 6:00am?

6:30am

Physical
False awakening with cats scratching me..
Something about starting a fire to protect myself in the wild.. It worked, and it turned out i was in my room the fire spread and I shut the doors so the room would run out of oxygen and put out the fire. It worked, i go outside.
Something about a local pig that has been protecting us. Then another that says the cows beat the pig.. Remember seeing hilly plains.
Pretending to write to go into a dream, i wasn't writing because i dont have a pen and paper by my bed... It works anyway. At first its dark with the trees in my backyard falling over, i fly off and the world twists and. See lots of colours which turn out to be balloons. I drop down to a place i think I recognize, something about a funeral. I remember picking up a girl and taking her to her sister who she hasn't seen in a long time. I went to fly but i thought it would be easier to use a door. It works and we walk through the house. I fade out of the dream and I try to focus on something but I FAed. In a room with mum and bro, talking about my dream

8:00am

The first thing I remember about my dream was that my best friend and I were in this huge canyon in this river. The water was really murky. I looked over at her and I shouted to warn her that two crocodiles were surrounding her. They were not moving at that point, but once I warned her, they started thrashing. So I swam onto the closest shore while my friends swam across the river to the other side. There was barely any shore though becuase at the edge of the waterliine was the wall of the canyon. So, I tried to climb it to get away from the crocodiles which later turned into sharks. I escaped, but I forgot to check if my friend did too! I then was in this weird city looking thing, but it reminded me of a videogame because I had a quest and there was a little arrow in the air pointing to my destination. My quest was to find my brother's book before he does...so I go looking for it, but the arrow disappears, so I'm all alone. The city then turns into Barnes&Noble and I'm frantically looking for this book. For some reason, I then change my mind to want to find a Hunger Games book and I did Barnes&Noble then turns into this school with a bunch of kids in it, and I felt like I was inside of this really corny movie about I guess Middle School romance? I have no idea.... But there were a bunch of love triangles and fights and then at the end almost everyone made up.. I have no idea why I dreamt that. The end of that scene took place in a courtyard outside. Across the courtyard I see the most beautiful modern day castle I have every seen! It was huge, and i told my friend that I would love to live in one of the really high towers. I then realized my brother works there... I go inside and my best friend was there! I looked into the doorway and my best friend's uncle (in the dream) was chained up to be beheaded... Then he mysteriously came back to life and told us that we were going to do great in life.I appeared in my room at this point. I remember looking at this card with a saying on it that said something like "The vampire that looks at this will be dreaming." or something like that. And then I remember questioning reality and doing the nose-plug RC and being able to breathe!!! (Btw, I've read other DJs where people say that they love doing the nose-plug check becuase the sensation of breathing while plugging your nose is really cool. I never understood that until last night. It was pretty cool) But the thing with this lucid dream was that I thought I had been awake and that by my reading the card I had fallen asleep! So my lucid dream within a non-lucid dream felt REALLY unstable and I remember vividness was TERRIBLE! I kept rubbing my hand, but nothing worked! I summoned a door in my window but it kept leading outside; I didn't want to jump out the window. I could tell I wasn't very aware of things because there was a huge flagpole outside my window that is not there in RC and if I was truly aware, I would know that I could just jump out. I turned around and tried summoning another door to a beach, but "woke up" standing in the middle of my room. I did a reality check, but I couldn't breathe through my nose! So, I reread the card and the reality check worked! But the dream was even worse than before, and I "woke up" standing in my room again. It was really annoying because my main dream, or the non lucid part was really stable and clear! But just because I thought I fell asleep in my dream, it made it really foggy.

2/11/2012
I wrote down my dream in detail and then a while after I woke up I realized that my dream journal was completely blank. Now I can't remember anything about my dream because I didn't write it down or mentally review it on waking because I thought I'd already done so. I hate when this happens. I'd have so many easy lucids if I could just remember to RC every time I write in my dream journal.

Last night I woke up a lot, and hard a hard time going back to sleep when I did. I knew i had dreams, but I could barely remember them.

Dream One (only vivid dream of the night): I walked into Dominos, in full uniform, complete with hat and apron. There's someone standing by the cooler, someone standing by the over, someone cutting pizzas and someone putting toppings on pizzas. I Wave as I walk behind the counter and I make no effort to correct my southern accent. "Ha eeeeey ya'll! Who's closin' with me taniiiiight?" I clock in, and note that two people raise their hands, the pizza maker and the person beside the cooler. I'm relieved and say as much out loud, "Awll riiight! Two people closin' with me, I'm gonna get home early taniiiight!" then the person by the over starts throwing his hand sup wildly and ranting. I recognize him as a guy who had been working there since before I started. He's saying, "I can make pizzas faster than those noobs! We didn't get home early last night, why are you so excited that your closeing with two noobs? Your going to have to make all the pizzas yourself!" I think I walked back towards the oven now, because I have a very vivid recollection of a square pepperoni lovers pizza that's just been cut dripping cheese with one burnt pepperoni and the rest of the pepperonis are just fine. I fuss right back at the guy ranting, "It's liake thius, cleanin' is whut takes soo lowng to get howme. It dusn't matter if they can make pizzas or nooot, whut matters is havin' three seats of haaands to clean uup and leave is faaaster than only having two seats!" (I'm not entirely sure how to translate a southern accent onto a keyboard, but when I'm not careful about it, my vowels do draw out and other vowels seem to pop in) Then I wake up, starving. I'm not able to go back to sleep for three hours, and then it's only because after two I get up and make myself some pizza bagel bites

Second Dream (Fragment): I'm talking to a man. I don't remember what he looks like, but he seems older than me and I think him very wise. He's probably only about 5 or 10 years older than me, because I don't feel like I have to respect him because he'd my elder. I do respect him, just I'm sure it's because he knows more than me, not because he's older. I'm guessing in his early thirties. I have no idea what we're talking about. I can remember saying something about needing something once a week, but I can't remember now what that was I needed.

Third Dream: A false awakening, first one I've had in a very long time. My husband is trying to wiggle his hands under my covers, and I notice my bed is in the middle of the living room instead of in our bedroom. I fuss at him to stop, we're in the middle of the living room. My Grandma walks by and goes into the basement. My husband says, "It's dark, she can't see and she's too deaf to hear anything." I wake up.

Fourth Dream (Fragment): I'm talking to the older man again, I'm not sure what about but It's probably a continuation or repeat of the first dream.

Fifth Dream: I'm at a mattress shop, looking at mattresses with my husband and kids. There are made beds allover the place, and the sales clerk says that we're welcome to stay the night and test drive the mattresses. We agree that we will. I lay on a couple beds, and find them all very soft, but also very uncomfortable at the same time. I voice that I like our old mattress. My husband complains that the old mattress is old and uncomfortable. He picks a mattress he likes, and we sleep on it. We wake up, and my kids are running all over the store. There is an old couple looking at mattresses now too. I'm embarrassed because my kids are trying to talk to them and not letting them shop. The old lady just smiles at them nicely. The old couple want to look at one of the beds, but my kids have toys all over it. I apologize over and over again as I clean it up, feeling really embarrassed. the old lady says not to worry that she has children and can remember when they were that age. I don't remember any more of the dream.

Sixth Dream (Fragments): I can't remember where this dream started or the exact events, but I'll write what I do remember I'm in the grocery store, and I've got two early readers in my hands. I know my little boy isn't quite on this level with his reading yet and my little girl wont be reading for another couple years, but I have a weakness for books and I want to buy them for my kids anyways. I check out. (Can't remember what happens next.) I'm in a class room, feels like an elementary school class. There's a teacher sitting at a desk looking sad. I have a vision of a dog playing on a beach. I say as much. The teacher starts crying and tells me her dog just died, and she used to take him to the beach all the time. I feel bad, like I made her cry, so I get awkward and uncomfortable. Someone, I think Male, puts hands on my shoulders and starts guiding me out of the room. (Can't remember what happens here) I'm in a dark room, there are no windows, just a door. I am against the wall by the door and there's a guy about four feet in front of me with a gun. He's pointing at the door, not me. He tells me that if anything comes through that door looking for me, it will not expect me to be right beside the door, and will probably take a couple steps into the dark room looking for me as far away from the door and danger as possible. He plans to shoot it if something dangerous comes through the door, and I need to slip out behind it when it comes in and run as fast as I can. I'm not really cool with this plan, but the door opens before I have time to think. (Can't remember this part) I'm running down the street. I have something in my hands and in my mouth but I don't know what. There's a school buss in front of me, and It's dropping kids off on my road. As the buss pulls away I run up and finally make it to my own road. The kids dropped off are already halfway down the street. I trip, and can't help going, "Wah!" as I fall. When I open my mouth whatever was in it falls out, and I drop what's in my hands. Looking down I see they are all bottle caps. Like the metal kind from glass bottles, not the plastic kind. They're all gold and silver, and the logos are etched into them. They don't look like normal bottle caps and I get the feeling they are something else, I just don't know what. I start to pick them back up, and a high school student stops to help me pick them up. I tell him thanks but don't! I'm worried no one is supposed to see them, plus some of them are covered in slobber. He helps anyways, and even picks up a slobbery one. He asks me why I was carrying them in my mouth, that I could choke on them. I say because I have more than I can carry in my hands, I had to put some in my mouth to carry them all. He asks me why I have so many, I say for a project and I can't talk about it. He asks if I have any extra that he could have, I tell him I'm sorry I don't, but they're just bottle caps, he could go to the store and buy a soda to get one. He says he's never seen bottle caps like these before, can he please have one. I feel like it's important I get away fast, so I tell him if I have any left over from my project I'll give them to him, but I really need to go. I start running again, then wake up.

Seventh Dream (Fragment) : I'm playing Mario Kart with my little boy trying to help him unlock Rosalina (I think that's the blue princesses name) I'm the character he unlocked yesterday, Dry Bones, and I remember throwing a green shell back behind me.

My dream recall has been horrible lately it seems like my dreams just keep getting less vivid every day. Anyway I had a short full dream and two dream fragments. Here they are:

1) This dream was like a false awakening again. I 'got up' from a dream and wrote it down in my journal. Too bad when I got up for real I found out that it never happened

2) Fragment: not a lot here but I know it had something to do with a mars rover excavating rocks.

3) Fragment: this was another false awakening but I can't remember much. Just the aspect of waking up. The rest is all fuzzy.

I am determined to get better dream recall! If anyone has tips I would love to hear them

Edit* I remembered something today. I was in class at school talking to my English teacher. At one point she offered me a baked potato that was sitting on her desk because she wasn't going to eat it. O.o

February 14, 2012
I remembered two full dreams and one dream fragment last night although my two full ones were short and not very vivid, it still counts

1) Dream Fragment- the whole dream took place in the locker room of some football team. I think there was a murder. The coach might have been angry. I can also recall seeing a black bag.

2) My second dream was basically a false awakening, although I as never lucid beforehand. It started with me waking up in my bed and sitting up so I can write something down- maybe a dream. I looked around for a second and the room was dark, so I tried to turn on the lights. However, when I tried to turn the switch they wouldn't turn on. I was confuse as to why that was, and wondered if the lights had gone out. Finally I turned the switch again and after a few seconds the bulb lit up. I should have realized this was a dream because the whole light thing basically screamed "this is not real!" but I guess I'll need a little more practice.

3) My final dream was also short and was cartoon-style. It had to do with Spongebob. Some new employee came and started to work at the Krusty Krab. It later became evident that he was, in fact, a cannibal and was bent on eating everyone. I'm not sure but he might have eaten Spongebob, squid ward, and Mr. Krabs. It then skips to a new scene where the cannibal guy opend the restaurant and it looks different- almost Asian style. The customers have to sit on these platform things that when they were sat on they turned into ovens. Everyone starts roasting, although they are completely oblivious, and the cannibal (and maybe a few friends) start to devour everyone. I then wake up.

I'm on a roll with lucids lately! This night turned out to be more interesting than I had anticipated. (Not that I suppose I ever expect certain things out of my dreams....) I smoked a bowl of wormwood before going to bed so I'm sure that helped, though it's hard to say because I've never used it before. But anyway, on with the dreams!

#1 - Hijacked House Party

The dream starts with my parents and I having moved into some enormous new house that looks like only extremely rich people could possibly live there. There was a good amount of time in-dream spent with me wandering around the house checking things out, but most of it I don't remember other than sliding around the floor in one room because it had a smooth wooden flooring (like a school gym or something?) and two gigantic TVs, one on each side. I saw my dad walking around in the room next to me and overheard that my mom was going somewhere and saw them go outside, so I went outside through the other door in the room I was in (there were two front doors right next to each other ) to say goodbye to her. After she drives off I walk back inside to find that there's a party going on with loads of people over. :O I walk around and go to one corner of the room where some people are talking about a new Pokémon game pre-release. There are a bunch of (imaginary) Pokémon games on the floor and I point out that the one they're talking about now being "pre"-released I've already had for a long time, as well as a bunch of these other games. They just brush me off and keep talking, and I pick up one of the games and pull a Game Boy Advance out of thin air and put it in. I believe it was at this point I became lucid, it's hard to remember exactly (but I'll get to that). I'm walking around the party watching the game load up and laughing because it's happening so terribly, it doesn't even remotely work correctly. Eventually I just drop the GBA out of my line of sight, never to be seen again, and start focusing on my surroundings. I tried to stabilize by looking at a table with an interesting oak pattern on it and touching it to see how real it felt. After that I started listening in on conversations and heard that the party was being thrown by this girl D who I went to high school with. I decide to shift the attention to myself so I change everyone's perception of me to D (I don't think there was any actual shapeshifting involved accept maybe some clothes switching, everyone just suddenly saw me as her) and they all started complimenting me on having such a great party. (This actually made me sad when I woke up because she died of a drug overdose not that long ago, but I didn't remember it in the dream.... ) After that I woke up.

Or so I thought. I'm in bed in the middle of the night and I still have the perception that my house is the huge rich house we moved into, but my room seems otherwise normal. I open up my phone to start typing up notes about the dream but music keeps mysteriously turning on and getting louder each time so I have to get up and turn it off or it'll wake up my parents. Whenever I would get up I would notice there were a bunch of strange things and gadgets in my room that were not normally there, like a camera aimed directly at my bed. However, of course, it didn't clue me in to anything and I brushed it off. -.- Then I actually woke up, cursing myself for not doing RCs whenever I wake up, and almost entirely forgetting the dream. Luckily I managed to get it back, obviously, but it's still kind of faint in my memory.

#2 - Crazy Food Fight

This one I remember less of, just some key details. There was some kid trying to take over the world, we found him in a bank where we broke into a vault and discovered a restaurant in it. We sat down and started eating with him, but then it broke out into a food fight, then a fight where we were just throwing anything we could find, then half way down the line it turned into a third-person view of a really crazy Dragon Ball Z fight. The kid had both of his legs blown off, but he pressed some button that allowed him to escape and left Goku and Vegeta to train for several years while they awaited his return.

I have no idea where that came from, I never watched Dragon Ball Z and I haven't even thought about it in at least months.

#3 - Exploring The New House

I'm back in the new house we moved into from the first dream and I'm exploring it some more. I remember this one sort of in snippets. First I in my parents' bedroom at night and my mom was sleeping, and we discovered that there was a family of teacup pigs that lived in that bedroom. They were so cute!! Next was during the day some time and we were having a close friends and family party. Still in my parents' bedroom, Hammond Druthers from How I Met Your Mother (Bryan Cranston! ) couldn't stop marveling at how amazing the bed was. I walked out into the kitchen and found a cat who was apparently left by the previous owner, Lady Gaga. (We're living in Lady Gaga's house!! ) The cat was fat but cuddly and loving, he didn't mind that I just held him for a long time. :3 In a rare case of me actually remembering other senses from non-lucid dreams, I can distinctly recall how fluffy he felt. Though it did disturb me a bit that we seemed to have left our old cats (one of whom is actually not with us anymore in real life) behind at our old house too. :\ I went and found my dad to talk to him about it and some kids kept following us everywhere and making it hard for us to have a private conversation, but we finally managed to ditch them. I don't remember what my dad said, but I think it revolved around us just leaving the cats behind. T-T Heartless! (Though I guess that's what Lady Gaga did, too. >_>) I went walking back out in the kitchen, which I'm pretty sure was a separate kitchen from before, and talked to some family members briefly before wandering down another new hallway. The kids from before followed me down there and tried to attack me! They had these Q-Tips that would apparently give you an ear infection if they were put inside your ear, and they were trying to use them on me. I managed to overpower them and stuck one inside both ears of the first kid and one of the second, then it became a third-person view of some kid named Crush, those two kids, and a couple other random kids. They were still in the hall but it became dark and trailed off into oblivion and apparently a portal to hell opened up. Everything went monochrome and the kids all started hanging on to these ancient-looking stone columns which had appeared on the walls of the hall to resist being pulled in. Demons were manifesting from the portal and reaching out toward them, but none of the kids seemed frightened except Crush. They all tried to get him to look at the demons and called him a scaredy cat when he wouldnt, but then finally one of the kids left to turn on the lights and it all disappeared. Next, the two kids who attacked me were sitting under a tent in front of an empty grave dug in sand on the beach of the jungle. Another kid with a tribal look and a heavy African accent emerged from the foliage and told them that they needed to get Crush and tell him to go to some area and do something (the details of which I've totally forgotten) so that he can complete his destiny. They begrudgingly agree to do it, but it seems like they may be plotting something against him because they clearly don't like him, and I think they blame him for the ear infection thing. After that I woke up.

What is going on with my mind and this jungle?? I need to get lucid in it again and explore it more fully.

I'm a little confused about this WILD thing, but I think this is my second time doing it. It's not quite like I thought it would be.

Anyway, I laid down on my couch about an hour ago and simply closed my eyes, thinking about lucid dreaming. I tried to keep them closed and not pay attention to what was going on around me. My fiancee had come and sat down beside me for a moment, when he realized I was asleep, he went and turned on his video game. I wasn't sleeping just yet, but I didn't want to be bothered.

Soon I was having strange thoughts that only made sense for a second, and I was getting vague images. I think I noticed I was asleep when I felt my fingers tingling. It was still blackness in front me. I reached my hand up and lightly brushed my face. The sensation was amazingly real. I thought for a moment I was sleepwalking in a way, but I quickly shut that thinking up because usually, when I start to worry about my body making movements in my sleep, I wake up.

The first thing I really remember doing is sitting at my computer and pushing my fingers through one another and my head. It was so weird. It made me start thinking about energy, like, how people feel energy when we're not asleep.

This entire dream I basically explored my house and it was really fun. I live in a trailer, so, you might be able to imagine the layout. We have a really long hallway and fake wood paneling throughout the house. I never went into the kitchen in the dream, but I walked down the long hallway that leads to mine and my fiancee's bedroom, where my son was sleeping.

I suppose in my head I really felt like what I did might affect my awake fiancee and son. So I chose not to go into the bedroom for fear of making him wake me up in real life. When I did get to my bedroom door though, it wasn't there. There was a strange cut out shape of a door, but no door to go through.

I could've still gotten to my bedroom had I went through the bathroom joining the hallway and our room, but I turned around and went into the middle bedroom instead. I was surprised to find it completely empty. There were pieces of yellowish white tape on the wall, in little X's and stuff.

I went back to the living room and my fiancee was laying on the couch. I tried having sex with him. It was normal until I got to his pants. His penis was... like... the size of a baby's penis so I quit because it was disturbing, lol.

I wanted to go outside, but like usual, I had trouble getting there. I didn't want to try the door for some reason. I think I tried going through the ceiling but quickly stopped because I didn't want to wake up.

I had a false awakening. My fiancee was playing his game but everything was dark like it was nighttime. I asked him "Am I still dreaming, baby?" He shook his head. I just kept asking him, "are you sure? I think I'm dreaming. Am I dreaming?" he kept saying no.

I didn't believe him so I looked at my fingers and counted an extra thumb. "You jerk," I said, "I am too."

Just then I noticed the window behind the T.V. (doesn't exist). It was pouring what looked like rain, coming through hard. I got up thinking I should close it. When I got up though it was suddenly snowing inside my house. When I got a close look at the snowflakes, they were tiny music notes. It was so cool. I also saw equations.

This is pretty much all I can remember right now. It didn't last too long, but long enough for me to start getting the hang of my own dream world.

I was in a car as a passenger. I was talking to the guy driving about a combination of a song and "lucid." I was referring to lucid as a drug or something. It could have even been lucid dreaming, but I referred to it a just "lucid"; furthermore, I referred to it based on a false memory, or an earlier part of my dream that I don't remember, where I was talking to a girl about the same thing, or she had mentioned it to me, and I just remembered it.

ANYway, I was talking to the driver about it. He was dressed kind of weird, and he was kind of weird. He took my comment of the song and "lucid" and decided to act it out. He rolled down the window and hung himself out the window hanging on by his legs on the inside of the door. His feet were kind of touching the steering wheel.

I told him "No, stop" or "No, don't do that!" as there was now nobody holding the wheel. Before we crashed, I took the wheel.

Dream Skip

I'm in a room with a bunch of people. It is some weird kind of police training or something, but not very formal. It is also not entirely a police academy. It's like friends or something. I also mentioned to one of them about lucid.

Dream Skip

I'm in a room with a bunch of women exchanging gifts in bags because of something nice someone had done. I wasn't going to get a gift and I knew it. I was kind of hoping someone would think of me, but at the same time, I don't like to be the center of attention. I don't really like getting gifts, so I was OK with it.

Somehow, lucid was also part of this scenario...I think.
