false awakening

Slept between 10:00am-2:30pm

Brief fragment involving theatre. I was watching a rehearsal of a musical and they were choreographing the dance moves to the songs.

False awakening, in which I thought to myself, "Better pinch my nose and see if I'm still asleep... *nose pinch* Huh, I can breathe. Means I'm not awake yet... *forced myself awake, nose pinch* That's better... Wait - fucking hell!"

Goodbye ex:

My ex called me and said she wanted to come over and say goodbye before she moved to another state. She came over really dressed up in a blue dress. We went up to my room and she said she still had a lot of feelings for me and still loved me. I was kind of horny and agreed with her so I could sleep with her. I reached up her dress and laid her on the bed. I said she smelt kind of bad and decided not to sleep with her.

Weird stuff:
My recording said that this was an add on to another dream meaning that I recorded a previous dream prior to this one. I think that might have been a false awakening because I don't have a previous dream entree that matches this one.
I was at my house and Michael and my uncle were sleeping downstairs. Michael called me and said he was at a club and my grandpa was sleeping downstairs.

dream fragment:
Michael and I met a couple of girls and took them to my house. We were all joking around and flirting. I remember I had a really nice guitar in my hand and was pretending to play it really well.

Shared dream attempt:
Henesie and I were attempting to have a shared dream tonight. We called each other at 4:30 am to wake each other up and wish good luck.
I had a FA where she called me and said she failed to WILD. She said she was really frustrated and that she is going to give up on having LD's. I told her not to worry because I also failed and decided to turn around and just go to bed because of my allergies.

Training the cat:
Kalee and Lindsey were at my house in my room. I was getting pissed at them because they kept making a mess. I kicked them out of my room and told them to go downstairs. I was in my room with my dog and a random cat. The cat kept scratching bella. I help the cat down by its hands and attempted to train it. Every time it would try to bit or scratch me I would slam it against the wall. Eventually I threw the cat out the window . I went downstairs and kalee was still making a mess. I kicked her out of my house. I went to the computer downstairs in the office and played some games.

Acid trip:

I took some acid in the morning. I went into my woods on a sunny day. Everything was really bright. I had some weird hallucinations of ants trying to attack me. I was scared of having a bad trip so I remained calm the whole time. A couple of times I thought I was going to get attacked, but I remained calm and nothing happened. I wandered over to a random stream and looked at how beautiful the water was.


it seems as if most of my dreams are becoming less crazy and more logical. Most of them are happening at my house or at karas house. I need to start doing reality checks in my house and when I see kara, michael, or lindsey

I had an False Awakening, a door bell "woke me up". It was my friend from Sweden. My mother said that I am sleeping. I "slept" for a while and then found myself walking down the street. Supposedly I met his mother and we went to sports field. I suddenly found myself playing soccer. Next thing I know I was a goalkeeper. But goal had doors. Suddenly, my other friend came and started shutting doors which produced music. The music was playing in 1/3 beat.

Downtown (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Well. Some of a crazy night. I had several FAs and I started recalling only fragments to full dreams and even a short lucid. I am so happy!!! I have at least one major lucid a week and 4-5 minor lucids a week!
Here goes, the fifth of the night:

I was in downtown with my wife. It was day and we were walking. We got to an odd building and she entered it. I was waiting outside. I could see her talking with some friends. I spend a while outside but I decided to open the gated door and enter. Where my wife was talking, there was now a different lady. I entered the building and it was like a hospital. I asked the staff inside if they saw my wife. They had no idea about what I was talking about. I found very odd that my wife left without even telling me, so I decided to look at my hands and RC

I was missing my thumbs so I turned lucid. I was alone now surrounded by skycrappers. I decided to do the Task of the Year, Beat Neil Armstrong down the ladder. The dream quality was low and it did not appear very robust, so I wanted to do it fast. I took flight without a sweat and flew over the clouds. As I was approaching the sky, it would turn more gray and blurry. I felt I was loosing the dream so I decided to spin without success. I decided to crush head on in the ground to do something funny before the dream ended. I started to fly at maximum speed and crushed in the ground. I ended in a False Awakening instantly.

My wife complained about what I just did. She told me it might not hurt to me, but it did a little to her, she felt the crash. The scenery changed and I was alone in downtown again. I called to my wife's cell phone and she replied, "Yeah, I am here. I am buying a lot of octopus and fish!" I was surprised she told me that and I told her, "Don't you think we already bought enough groceries yesterday?" She said something and got mad without a reason. The phone call ended.

I noticed I walked a few blocks away my parked car. I was not used to the neighborhood I was located and I was lost. The streets were crowded. There were outdoors parties going on. I was thinking in calling my wife to meet at some point and look for our car, but I decided not.

I had another FA in a different room. I started to write down my dream and my wife asked me, "Have you had any lucids today, how about Astral Projections?" I told her I just had one lucid right now. My wife woke up and looked a lot different that she is. I made a RC looking at my hands. Oddly, they looked okay and I accepted it instead of doing other RCs. My wife asked me, "So, the RC did not work this time, huh?" She was smiling. I replied, "I guess not. I felt you were different, but now you look normal so it had to be a hallucination." I woke up.

At the mall (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Well. Some of a crazy night. I had several FAs and I started recalling only fragments to full dreams and even a short lucid. I am so happy!!! I have at least one major lucid a week and 4-5 minor lucids a week!
Here goes, the fourth of the night:

It was a cloudy day. I was planning to have a quiet and rested day. We drove to a mall and parked far from the entrance. We went inside the mall looking for a store. There was something going on with a song that I cannot recall. There was not many people inside the mall and we could not find what we were looking for.

I had a few false awakenings and lost a good piece of information here. Now it was night and it was raining. We had to return to the mall to gather something, but we exited for an unknown reason. I tried to go back to the mall, but I saw an employee closing the doors and locking them up. I was worried because the parking lot where our car was located was very far if I had to walk around the mall. The employee did not allow me to pass. It was windy and rainy now. I grabbed my wife on her back and we started to walk to pick up our car.

Mid-night call (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Well. Some of a crazy night. I had several FAs and I started recalling only fragments to full dreams and even a short lucid. I am so happy!!! I have at least one major lucid a week and 4-5 minor lucids a week!
Here goes, the third of the night:

I was in my room. It was very similar to waking. We had a phone in the room and it started to ring. It was about 3 am in the morning. It was a call from the Olive Oil store. I could not understand well the phone call, I was falling asleep while taking over the phone. They wanted to tell me I was going to be off someday of these week.

The scenery changed. It was night and I was with my wife. I parked my car in an indoors lot. We were going to a party that was going to take place inside the Olive Oil store, however, the mall was very different from waking. As we were walking to the entrance of the mall, I saw a round table with a few bottles and pieces of bread. One of the bottles was from my store. However, the name was different (made up) I think it started with an M. The liquid itself was orange. It was olive oil with several flavors at the same time.

Here I miss a lot of information due confusion with a real awakening and a false awakening.

I had various FA until the point of confusion. I was checking out in a store. I was buying something I cannot recall.

My room is a dream workshop! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Well. Some of a crazy night. I had several FAs and I started recalling only fragments to full dreams and even a short lucid. I am so happy!!! I have at least one major lucid a week and 4-5 minor lucids a week!
Here goes, the second of the night:

- I was indoors.
- A lady was giving me something.
- In my waking room I found people that I have never met. They were writing down dreams for me and for other people.
- These people wrote down about my Astral Projection experiences.
- They though I was Astral Projecting in that moment, but I knew I was just dreaming non lucidly so it was not an AP (funny, did not turn lucid with that!!! This is one of those false-lucidity I read somewhere)
- These people inserted some pictures in my paper journal like if it was a computer. I could see two or three lines of text, then a picture, more text and another picture. My journal was bigger than waking.
- During this entire dream I had several FAs in my room.

I had to workout pretty early this morning, so I finally had a chance to have a nap for the first time in a really long time. Bunch of really vivid fragments of a dream, but nothing solid.


My first dream involved me and two wolves doing something, I am not sure what in particular. I felt like we were trying to save someone's life at the time. As I was with these two wolves, I ran on all fours in my human body and was not a wolf myself. One was a blonde wolf (which is odd), and one was brown or gray. There was an Ipod somewhere that I found, and it did not work properly.

_______

False Awakening: I wake up in a bed, and I think how I missed another chance at lucid dreaming. I tried to get back to sleeping as fast as I could so I could try again. The bed I was in was completely different, and it looked like I was in a dojo of some kind.

_______

I am in a hotel with Chris Tucker, and there are trees in the middle of the lobby. Chris Tucker decides to grab a container of gasoline and light it on fire. The weird thing is when he did it, tentacle like things flew out of the container and Chris Tucker attempted to hold on to them as they flew out. It looked like those ash snakes you can buy at a fire works store, just filled with a gas that made them float. My dad suddenly appeared and mentioned to me how dangerous it is to do that, and that he could have hung himself on it.

Finding Acid:

I was just finishing at the gym and about to go home and get ready for work. Michael came and picked me up with Kara's ex boyfriend in the car. We started driving to this place 1:30 min away and he said he could get me acid ( I have been looking for some) He said the only condition is that I had to stop seeing Kara. I agreed with everything he said and we started driving. On the way there I was laying on the rooftop of the car. I started constructing a large bridge across the water in my head. It slowly started to become a reality. I realized that I was about to do a WILD. My dream hands started to come into the image and I got sucked into the dream. Everything was already super clear and bright. The water looked incredible. It felt like I was on acid because the colors were all amazing. I started running on the bridge and was thinking about running at the speed of light. I started to lose clarity and woke up I woke up in the car and tried to get back into the wild. I failed and woke up in bed. I did not want to forget this lucid again like I did last night so I started to write it down. I woke up again... this time for real

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

So, in my dream I wake up. It was still dark out, and it looked the same that my room IRL does, except for my alarm clock ...It was so weird. I picked it up, and it was like it was talking to me! It had words slide across it's now large screen-a different part then the time. It was like it was against me! I saw one word on it was my name! It said that no matter what I couldn't do SOMETHING. Well, I decided that this sounded rediculous, and that I might be in a dream. I don't normally RC, but on rare ocasion, I will if I ask myself if it's a dream if I'm not 100% sure. I try to stick my finger through my hand, it didn't work. I was still too convinced! I decided to check by getting out of my bed and floating/flying to the cieling. If it doesn't work, no harm done, right? Well, it does work and now I'm lucid. I wanted to hop into sims so I could be in simmy land . I jumped in it turned off, thinking I'd be in sims. BUT NO! I end up jumping basically right where I jumped in. I turned it on, thinking that it would take less time then IRL. The windows screen popped by fast. I didn't see the log in screen. Instead when it was done, it was on this random game I've never played before...Then I closed that, to click on SIMS! I didn't see it there. I only saw sims castaway stories, and I woke up .

Hm... had lots of dreams in the last two weeks or so. I'll just post notes of what I remember.

~Big skeletal demon monster things chasing my friends and I through a library, and then down a road.
~People around, and one guy turned into a purple... I don't know; it had wings. Then some evil person was trying to kill him, but they couldn't.

~I'm a vampire, walking through an unfamiliar house. There's one or two other people there with me. The house was either very dirty or tinted green, or both.
~In a classroom with some teacher who thinks my name is Alice. A group of guys bust in out of nowhere and the teacher goes, "Oh, are you finally going to give her an igloo?" The guys hand me a little one on a string with a TV inside it.
~I'm a vampire, in a big field shaped like a bowl. There are animals all around me. I run superfast out into a town and find a nice car, which I then proceed to crash into things because the brakes aren't working. I find a group of people after a while and say, "Does this car belong to any of you?" A guy stands up, looks at the wrecked vehicle, and goes, "YES!!!!!" Later I go back to the field, and there's a huge tornado that I barely get away from. It sucks up the car, though. The tornado was upside-down looking, almost exactly like this picture, only the sky was darker.

~A false awakening: I "woke up" listening to my MP3 player, which was playing commercials. I thought nothing of it and I can't remember the rest of the dream.
~~~~
Bah, there are so many others, and now that I'm trying to type them I can't remember them.

At a hotel in summer (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fifth dream of the night out of five dreams (three lucids)

I had a FA in a hotel, but I do not recall exactly where. I became instantly lucid. My lucidity was very weak. I had very little control. I realized it was a dream, but I followed the plot of the dream itself.

I flew at a very small height and I observed all the DCs. Most of them, if not all, were female. They were sun bathing, jumping in the pool, playing and chatting. I decided to jump to the pool and breath underwater. I was able to do it. I saw several ear plugs at the bottom of the pool.

I started to mess around with some DC. I lost all lucidity here because I do not recall well what happened, but I was not feeling the same way I feel in a lucid.

Trying to reach the gladiators (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Fourth dream of the night out of five dreams (three lucids)

I had a false awakening in parking lot. It was very big. There were almost no cars at all. At the very end of the parking lot, there was a building, I think it was a school. On my back, there were a few stores.
I had my dream journal in my hand, it was big, and different from waking. I wanted to leave it in the trunk as I was planning to do something else.

I realized I was dreaming. I levitated and I realized I still did not place my dream journal in the trunk of my car. As I was gaining height, I just threw the dream journal. It was not mine after all... just a dreamed one!

I flew towards the building and I planned to open a portal to the gladiator's colosseum. I do never have problems with that, but I had little control in this dream. I was against the wall and I ordered a void to appear, but nothing happened. I did not want to concentrate too much, as I have not been dreaming for a long time.

I flew high, above the clouds and I saw the roof of the builiding and a small circle. I decided to fly headon to destroy the circle and hopefully, find a void to my target. I crushed in the building but I did not feel pain. Nothing happened.

I saw a roman old school statue. It was a small fountain. It had a stoned door. I opened and saw a hole. I though if I jumped in I would teleport to the roman age and meet some gladiators. I jumped in the hole and everything became dark, however, in half a second, I touched the ground, still in the same place. No way to teleport.

At some point I lost lucidity. I saw one of my co-workers at the olive oil store. I followed her. She entered a cell phone store and I woke.

Practicing Control Over Objects (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I can really only remember the bare bones of this one.

Me and a couple of friends were in a car on a beach. It was a very small beach, basically a cove, with cliffs all round it and only one steep, rocky road leading down to it. We were standing around the car talking. It was night time, and I wanted more light. I started fiddling with various buttons and knobs inside the car, trying to make a light or torch appear. I had it in my head that if I expected something to happen, it would. So I opened hatches expecting them to reveal tiny lights etc. It worked a little bit- sometimes I would get a tiny LED light, but when I tried to make it brighter by flicking other switches, it would go out. I eventually managed to transform part of the dashboard into a bizzare torch, which looked like a metal detector used by airport security. Unfortunately it was shit.

I had two or three false awakenings in my own house, where I tried opening doors with the expectation that a certain hot girl would be on the other side. I visualised her quite clearly, then swung open the door, only to find an insane creation of my unfocused mind. It was an old lady with really long arms and huge glasses, wearing a really weird robe. I slammed the door on her and had another FA.



This one was really confusing. I had real difficulty distinguishing the dream from reality. I even told this to my brother, who was walking around the kitchen. I looked at myself in a mirror from a distance and I looked basically normal, and I had to keep looking at my hand (which was truly fucked) to remind myself I was dreaming. When I first "woke up", I exhaled for about 30 seconds again, like the last dream. I tried to not breathe in at all after this happened, but decided that probably wasn't the best idea! There was a song playing in the background. I'm almost sure it was King Hell's cover of "Hungry Like the Wolf".

At a few points in the dream I heard things from the waking world which nearly woke me up, but I rubbed and clapped my hands a few times to keep myself internally focused.

Espionage, then minor wandering. (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was definitely my most successful WILD yet. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I went for an afternoon nap. I lay on my back with my arms by my sides, which is a really unnatural way for me to sleep, but I reckoned it was probably the best for dreamin'. After a very short time I got some serious SP and rolling sensations (for the 2nd time whoop!) and I ended up in an interesting dream.

I had unwittingly inserted myself into a vampire/werewolf story. I think this was brought on by watching Underworld the other day. I was a vampire, of course, and I was walking through a town centre with a couple of my vampire cronies and a werewolf, who had defected. (Apparently the vampires and werewolves were at war). I went along with the plot, which went on around me. It was night time, and the streets were very dark, apart from the orangey glow from some low streetlights. We were on our way to sneak into a werewolf meeting at a hotel. I could see the hotel coming up on the left. It had a distinctly more reddish glow than the rest of the area. The dude beside me said,
"I thought this place was closed this late on a Saturday?" and the werewolf replied,
"Not for us." Sure enough, there was light coming from the building, but only from one side door, which looked like the entrance to a very exclusive club. There were two huge bouncers outside in black suits. We paused at a set of benches out in the street to discuss our next move. The werewolf guy warned me that there would be a scanner inside, and that they were only letting in the most elite of werewolves.
"I'll probably be fine," I told him, with a dollop of arrogance. I left the others sitting on the benches, and walked confidently over to the door. It was only then I noticed I was wearing a very nice suit. I tugged the collar slightly as I walked straight between the bouncers. My swagger was so awesome they didn't even question me. Right inside, there was a thin corridor, only about 3 feet across. A couple of metres inside was a simple ID scanner, the kind they have in some airports, only without the face recognition part. There were two girls I know in front of me (I knew them to be vampires too at the time), and a female guard at the ID scanner. The two girls inserted their fake driver's lisences, and were rejected. A red light shone from above the scanner and a buzzer sounded. Instead of being chucked out, they were allowed to merely walk back outside. It was my turn. I reached in my pocket, and found my ID card I usually use. I reckoned it might work simply because it was actually a real ID, I hadn't bothered with a fake one like the girls before me. Although it did occur to me that they would realise I wasn't a werewolf and not let me in anyway. I inserted my card, but to my surprise, the light turned green and I heard a "ping!". I was in.


Not quite what I looked like as a vampire, but hey...

The female guard stepped aside and waved me onwards. The corridor opened up to normal size. It was very dark- I thought it might almost be so dark I'd lose my perception and wake up by accident, but I concentrated on the small lights shining up the walls at the celing and made them brighter, allowing me to see ok. On my left was a glass wall. On the other side, I could see a fancy restaurant, with all tables full. I reckoned that must be the werewolf meeting. On the other side of the corridor was an enormous elevator door. There were two pot plants on either side, and some people standing in front of it. I recognised one of them as my friend Sophie, who I hadn't seen in ages. I said hello enthusiastically and gave her a hug. My friend Pete was also there. I was pleased to see him too. The lift arrived and the doors opened. I was surprised at what I saw. The interior was about the size of my living room, and there were dozens of people sitting on settees and on the metal floor. It genuinely confused me, but I stepped on anyway. I sat down with Pete against the back of a setee. I caught the eye of a girl across the lift and smiled at her. I caught my reflection in the metal wall and noticed my vampire fangs.
"Shit," I thought. "Although I am really working these fangs!" I assumed I would now be mauled by the many werewolves around me, but no-one seemed to care. Instead, the girl smiled back, and I noticed she had fangs too. We crawled towards each other, cutting a path through the people sitting about, and she leapt on me. We got it on then and there, with at least 30 people watching. Good times.

I had a false awakening here. I "opened my eyes", and felt the dream zap away, and my vision of the vampire chick was sucked into the distance, replaced by the wall in my old bedroom. I thought,
"That was sweet!" and sighed. As I sighed, I let out a huge amount of air. I was exhaling for literally thirty seconds. During that time I took several small breaths, becuase I needed air. At the time I reasoned that I had been breathing so deeply while dreaming that my lungs had absorbed an excessive amount of air, which was just being released now. When I was finished, I got out of bed and walked towards the door, ready to go downstairs and see what everybody was up to in the real world. My left arm felt really strange, like it was pointing the wrong way or something, but I stretched and it seemed to fix itself. I reached for the door handle, and noticed that I felt a bit strange, like I wasn't quite sure if this was a dream or real life. My vision was a tiny bit fuzzy, and I thought this might be from just waking up, but I did the hand reality check anyway, and was astounded to see about seven fingers! I laughed to myself that I could be so stupid to have thought this was real- I was in my old house after all. As soon as I became lucid, I had a familiar feeling of being "trapped in the dream", which I only ever had once before, in my lucid nightmare where I kept having false awakenings. Waking up for real would've been fine, and a few seconds ago, I really thought I had. There was even a vague echo of The Twilight Zone music which tormented me last time. I resolved that I wasn't going to get into that mindset, and the music petered out. I was incredibly aware here. I was so switched on I found it hard to believe I could still be sleeping with my mind still at work. I walked over to the window. It was afternoon on a cloudy day. Climing through the bushes in my garden was some naked girl.
"Jackpot," I said, and punched the air. I opened the window, ready to climb out, but my three brothers came in. They were asking me something which I can't remember now, but everything seemed so real here that I had to do three reality checks in a row, just to make extra extra sure I was dreaming. I asked them who sent them, for some reason. The biggest brother replied,
"Christine." (she's my ex) I asked him,
"What, is she here?"
"Yeah, she's in the cupboard under the stairs," he said. I went downstairs to see if she was in fact hiding in my house, but there was no sign of her under the stairs. I went inside and hoked about a bit, but quickly became claustrophobic, so I left. I wandered into the living room, where we have a big mirror above the fireplace. I walked over, and saw my reflection. At first glance, it seemed basically normal with slightly longer hair. Then the title of a thread I had read on dreamviews earlier popped into my head. It was about looking in the mirror in dreams, and how something weird always happens. Right then, my reflected face distorted itself into a horrible, demonic visage. The skin darkened, the eyes went totally black, and my head grew horns. It laughed at me evily.
"Fuuuuck that," I said, and stared it out. The longer I stared the more benign and cartoon-ish it got, until the outlines of the main features looked very much like they were drawn by pencil. Satisfied, I turned away and went out into the hall.

About here I woke up. I was shocked to find that it had only been an hour exactly since I lay down in bed!
