NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Lucid task of the month!

I just have a bunch of words scribbled on the paper, and I'm not sure what order all of it came in, so bear with me.

"fish, increase, portal, piano, this is art, something I can't read written here..., sho(?), clock, hotel, keys, Berta (two & a half men), 3am, dog, never, spin, ghetto bitches, scared shitless, massive clock, time"

Bolded so nobody mistakes that word during my swearing spree.


It was a false awakening. There was a glow-in-the-dark thread shaking at one end of my room, while whatever was shaking it was blocked by a pillar just at corner of my bed by my right foot. There was an extremely ugly old lady sitting next to me, and it was very dark. I felt calm, and just closed my eyes and went back to sleep. Now that I think of it, it was my room from Fayetteville, not here in Albuquerque.

There's some dream here, not sure what. I'm in my music room here in my apartment, except there are pianos on both sides and there's a line of drum cymbals above each piano. "Dad... we only have one piano." Boom. Lucid.

I sit down and both these pianos disappear, replaced by one in front of me, whereas my my chair is moved back in order to allow space for the piano between it and my computer desk. I being to play it in the upper octaves in the key of C.







All the notes are in C, but in no way is it playing what I push. There is an excessive amount of hammer noise as if I were playing an acoustic piano, but thank god there was no chorus effect to it. Some of the keys to the left of my hands were pushing themselves.

Another false awakening. I look and see the same thread, same pillar, and same old hag. Wait wait wait, I'm still dreamining.

The thread ends up being attached to one of my Nike SB shoes, which is multi-colored with a white/charcoal base, a turqoise check and turqoise laces. The shoe is hopping around as if it has a life of its own. At this point, I am instantly scared shitless as it hops toward my bed. "Wait a minute.." I thought. "This is a dream. He can't hurt me." And I was no longer scared. The old hag never moved, and I never interacted with her.






Yeah, she was that ugly.

Somewhere in here it is no longer nighttime and I'm out of bed. Don't remember this bit.

I'm in my living room. Well, not mine, but a very nice glass-walled bit on the edge of an ocean cliff. Think of the DirecTV commerical.







Shelves are mounted to the wall at some points. I can't describe this apartment as it would take me days to communicate it. But on these shelves was a giant alarm clock (the one I just bought yesterday at Best Buy.) The text isn't changing.

My dad is out on the balcony hanging over the cliff drinking a beer. I'm still lucid at this point and want to try another goal of mine: "open a portal."

I try to use telepathic powers but this does not work. I then think of the wall as only a dream and non-solid and try to jump through it. I think I would have had much better success if I turned around so I wasn't looking at the wall before I jumped.

I then tried thinking of the molecules, and the gaps in between them. I CHARGED at full speed. Thunk. No such luck.

I leave the apartment and walk out. Turns out there is no door, but the giant party room rolls into the lobby of the most extravagent hotel I've ever seen. I was on the 45th floor. The whole thing was open in the center with the walkways around the edges, a circular building.

I soon learned that my new house was inside an apartment and was still under construction, thus no door. It also appeared to me that the ocean was only where the balcony was, and all the other ocean views through glass were illusions.

There's a skip of no recall. Some chubby girl with black hair, your typical fat prep, was reaching in the fridge. Charlie sheen said "assist you in a sec."
"What?"
"Berta!"
Berta: "Pfft. Right. "
Prep: "Oh bitch what da fuck?"
-ensue ghetto argument-

I'm in a dark room with red lighting and red carpet. A couple Ibanez RG2228 guitars are laid out on racks around me.







I was with Michel from Meshuggah. Yup. He was giving me a death glare with his hands out away from him walking towards me, as if possessed.







Wait, something tells me this dream isn't over.


Another awakening, this time for real. I roll over and... WTF. It's only 3:03 AM. I went to sleep at 1:10, and I remember looking at my clock at 1:40 and spending forever trying to enter SP. I must be seriously deprived. Yet I slept 9 hours yesterday and napped for two. I've been getting 8 hours a night. hmm..

Nope, not a dream.


I never went through any doors in this dream. I've been trying to RC every time I pass a door as they appear in virtually every dream. Somehow this is my only lucid in almost a year and yet it has no dreamsigns.

I think the lucid portion was ten to fifteen minutes long.

It'sMEE (Emma)'s Dream

The alarm goes off at 3:27am. I switch it off and drop my phone onto my bed, and drift back to sleep. As soon as my eyes close, I shoot straight back up. I have the feeling I should be somewhere, but I can't quite remember where. I remember my phone went off, because I wanted to try WILD, but I look about my bed and just can't find the phone. Then I remember where I'm supposed to be. I look at my hand, because that's where I wrote the name of the place; 'Chichen Itza' It says, but a little bit has rubbed off. When I look again, all of the writing is there, so I do the nose plug RC... Of course, I'm dreaming. I get out of bed, and I'm magically dressed, my pyjamas are neatly folded on my bed, which appears to have made it's self. I walk up to the door and visualise the Chichen Itza pyramid and tell myself it's on the other side of the door. I slowly open the door with my eyes closed. I can feel a breeze in my face, but it's a warm breeze. So I open my eyes. Yes, there it is, the old dark pyramid. I feel like climbing up it, but look at my hand again to remind me what I'm supposed to be doing. The doorway behind me has gone, but that doesn't really matter so I hardly notice and run up to the pyramid. The light is at the top, so I know someone is or has been here already just I can't see anyone. I hear voices on the other side so I run round there. I round the corner, expecting to see at least two people, because it sounded not like an argument but more of a discussion, but there had to be at least two people so I'm really surprised when I see that there's nobody there. I hear voices just around the corner again, so I dash around there. Now the voices have moved to the opposite side of the pyramid. The voices get louder and quieter and keep moving, but I never see who's talking. Eventually, they sound like they're at the top, so I practically cry out. The voices begin to laugh instead, and I'm sure they're laughing at me. I begin to climb to the top. When I'm there, I'm standing in the light, which is so bright Ican't see. The voices are gone now, so I just sit down for a while, waiting for them to come back. By now I'm so frustrated that I jump off the top. I find myself in bed. I do an RC and I'm awake, but the scary thing is is that the time is only 3:28am. I fall asleep and remember no more dreams that night.

Dream - Lucid

I was at Dakota's house at night. I was the only one there (his aunt and uncle had gone on vacation. Dakota had too, but he went somewhere different). I was sitting in his room (didn't look like his real room, it was a lot bigger), watching TV. Dakota had told me I could chill there while everyone was away, though technically, I wasn't supposed to be there.

I had fallen asleep, and I woke up. I heard car doors slamming outside, so I figured I probably needed to leave, so I headed towards the door of his room.

All the sudden, a recording of Dakota's voice boomed over a loudspeaker. It said something about his aunt and uncle coming home. I started to move more quickly towards the back door of the house so I could get out before his aunt and uncle caught me.

It was too late, though. I walked outside, and there they were. I was very ashamed of myself. I shouldn't have been there. I went to my car. Dakota's uncle came up to me. I said to him
"I want to redeem myself in your eyes. I'm sorry."
He seemed pleased with that.

I then drove off through his neighborhood. It was lit only by the lights of the houses.

~

I was again at Dakota's house. It was morning, and Dakota and I had been asleep in sleeping bags on the floor. His head was facing my head.

His Aunt then came in with a bunch of kids. They sat at the kitchen table. That morning, they were leaving for Oklahoma. I got up and walked by the table. The kids were all playing Scrabble. There were also toys on the table, though I can't remember specifics.

They eventually filed out the door and got in their red mini van (can't remember the type). They came back a little later because they forgot something.

~

I was laying down on some sort of bed or table. An Indian-looking man with dark skin and a black mustache had a small buzz saw blade attached to a handle above my neck, though it wasn't moving. There was a dial ingrained in the left side of my neck that the buzz saw's blades fit perfectly into, and the man was going to help me by using the saw on the dial. I'm not sure what it was he was supposed to be helping me with, though. I think I was hurt or ill, and it was supposed to help me to heal.

At first, he jokingly got out a HUGE buzz saw and started using it on my neck. It hurt, and I kept telling him to stop. He stopped and laughed as he took the small buzz saw and gently started to use it to turn the dial in my neck. It felt a little uncomfortable. The man was very kind to me as he did this. He talked to me gently, though I can't remember what he said.

~

I was on the beach at night with my mom. We had our cat, Pounce, who is very ill in waking life. I'm not sure why we had her, but she got away from us and ran all over the beach. My mom told me to get her. She ran too fast, however. She then ran down some stairs into a men's restroom. At first, my mom wasn't sure we should go in there to get her because it was the men's room, but I convinced her that we could. We went in there after the cat, checking all the stalls.

~

I was in the car when I became lucid by counting my fingers, though I wasn't totally convinced yet. I confirmed it by making extra fingers appear out of my hands.

Then, I hung out the passenger's side window naked as the car drove itself. I felt the wind rush past me as I went. Why I decided to do this with my lucid dream is beyond me.

The alarm goes off at 3:27am. I switch it off and drop my phone onto my bed, and drift back to sleep. As soon as my eyes close, I shoot straight back up. I have the feeling I should be somewhere, but I can't quite remember where. I remember my phone went off, because I wanted to try WILD, but I look about my bed and just can't find the phone. Then I remember where I'm supposed to be. I look at my hand, because that's where I wrote the name of the place; 'Chichen Itza' It says, but a little bit has rubbed off.

WhiteWind's Dream

DC/Dreamer chat
Made it to chichen itza at paragraph 3

lucid but don't remember how. At school and walk down stairs. See a group of people sitting at a table. "Are you dreamers?" "No."He smiles. I believe him, but begin to think, "But what are you then?" He stares at me. Shout "This is a dream!" All the DCs turn and look at me. I feel my energy being sucked out, I can't speak. There is a power coming from them that I couldn't fight with my own power. Begin to feel and intent that I won't hurt them, that I love them. They begin to take their death stare off me and start smiling and laughing. I can move now and start backing up, feeling good. A guy gives me the peace sign and I try to give it back, but my energy is still low and can't move my fingers up.

Run into a guy, short black hair, grey hipster attire. He is holding a pencil at me threateningly. I'll find you. Not now but later when you're afraid." He tries to stab me, but I avoid it. I walk away, but he pursues me. I'm chased for a while, not wanting to negatively confront my DCs after the previous event. Go down stairs, fall down a slide and end up in an underwater room. The guy slides down after me, pencil extended and drives it into me. Doesn't really hurt. " You don't have as much control as you did in the dream on the 11th." (September/July) "Don't remember that date, but I'll look at that entry" This dream was very vivid, but I didn't have as many powers as some recent dreams "Why don't we hang out" trying to settle him down. "Let's play some basketball or something okay?" He agrees and I exit the room under a flap in the back. In the ocean next to a ladder. The guy swims to it first and gets out. As I approach, a shark silhouette comes in between. I'm bitten, but just throw the shark off my leg. Climb the ladder and notice a beached orca. I'm outside the quad at school and approach the guy to follow through on my basketball offer, but remember Chichen Itza

Visualize the temple and start walking up the stairs. See a friend We're in Mexico." Come upon a large rain forest area, with waterfalls running down a cliff. And there it is: Chichen Itza perfect form. I run to it and see many people sitting around on the top of it. "Are there any dreamers here!?" I get closer and notice they are all wearing headphones. I pick a guy out, he has curly red/blond hair and reminds me of a videogamer. He takes his headphones off. "Are you a dreamer? Are you dreaming?" "No." "How do you know if you don't do a reality check?" Look I have 10 fingers" "I have 5" "Now look, I have 7. Odd and Prime ." He gets it, but doesn't react, he leaves my sight and vanishes. There is a black man and woman sitting at the table. They were talking/ laughing the whole time I was talking to the gamer. "Are you dreamers?" Shakes his head, I notice he is a DC I talked to earlier. There is an old man with long grey hair sitting in the corner. A woman approaches. She seems like a caretaker of the place. "Has anyone from Dreamviews showed up here?" They sometimes meet over that ledge there." I don't see to where she is referring. Want to check it out, but decide to leave a message to anyone who comes by later. "Do you have a marker?" I find a red gell pen. Go to write a large symbol on the table cloth, but notice there is writing all over it. Im pulling at it, trying to find a large clean spot to draw the glyph. "Are you taking care of children?" "No" "Sometimes magicians show up here." I laugh and look up at her, smiling. Find a clean white section and draw a simple symbol on it. It doesn't turn out very well and I try a few more times but am never satisfied. Find a clean spot and make one final attempt in large strokes. Get up and start to leave. I notice a very peculiar object in the corner, kind of light a decorated white Christmas tree, but definitely one of those things you can only see in dreams.

Attachment 2387

It got dark out, so I sat down at the table. The scene morphed to my aunts house (common LD environment), and I'm leaning against the window. No one is around and I feel a little fear, but mainly lonely. "Nomad?" I call out into the dark. Ya Nomad, you are kind of the father of shared dreaming in DV I here knocking at the door and Nomad walks in. He has less than shoulder length hair. I walk up and shake his hand. "What's up?" feel my energy shaking and worry I might wake, so I try to scream a word. (like a password, even though I know Nomad is not really into that idea. I'll keep what I said to myself, although I had a hard time saying it and you looked like he didn't hear) "Andy hurt mom." "...Andy hurt mom?" "What did you say?" "That's what you said." He starts walking towards me, looking upset. People do that, and it's wrong." Felt like he was referring to guessing what people said. I'm apologetic and then wake.

Technique: WILD/DILD.

Three Dreams:

This time I get into sleep paralysis, but my heart beat rises and my body wakes up. This happens about two times and then my mind fall asleep.

1.I'm building a rail track, looks just like the game Minecraft. I have to place a rail to keep going forward.

2.Place animals under boxes to defend (wtf?).

3. I'm with a girl (J). We are walking around in a house. We go in to a room to have a good time. We are standing next to the bed, kissing . Suddenly she turns into an other girl. I dont want to have sex with her so I stop kissing her and say: "Im dreaming". I start to look around in the room. I feel like Im going to wake up so I try to anchor it by rubbing my hands together and touching my arms and body. Now everyting feels more real. I look around some more. All this happens fast. I start to lose the dream again and start to bitchslap my own face and rubbing my hands together. I tell the girl to slap my face but she wont do it.
Anyway, now I feel like Im pretty anchored to the dream. I look out of the window. Something strange is outside. A lot of cars or someting, I dont really get it. I turn around. Now the bedroom has turned into a bathroom. I go to the mirror, and find a tube of something, may be tooth paste. I pick it up, looking at the text. Its not readable. I try to make it readable but the text is just flashing and keep on changing itself. I try to make a number flash from 1 to 9 but I can only make it go from random to 6 then 6-7-8-9-random-random etc.
Now, what the hell am I doing I ask myself. I should try to complete my goals and tasks. So I start to look for an electrical device to try to turn it on, 'caus Ive heard thats impossible and want to check it out. I lose the dream and wake up early

Lucid | Non-Lucid

Dream 1:

I was driving in a Saturn VUE along in a neighborhood that doesn't exist in real life, the roads are shaped in a way that you could easily go 90mph (144kph). The speed limit keeps changing so I have no idea what it really is, but it was low, around 20mph(30kph). I remember I turned too tightly and the wheels were blown out, but they automatically re-inflated themselves. Something happened that caused me to take out some . . . tarp thing. No idea what it was or what purpose it served, so naturally I took it home with me but on the way its tire kept popping and re-inflating. I wheeled it all the way home where my Dad and my brother's fiancee were weeding the garden, that's when I realized the Saturn VUE I was driving followed me home and now there were two identical VUEs, one in the garage and the one I drove. My Dad was about to ask a question and I said, just don't think about it. He was like "well . . . ok" then went back to gardening.

Dream 2:

My brother and I were walking around a neighborhood that was a memorial of WWII, it had grand architecture and was made of near-golden bricks. It was very pretty and classical music was playing throughout the neighborhood. It didn't seem like anyone lived there, all the houses had no lights, there were no cars or trash cans on the driveways. It was like a mausoleum. Kinda creepy, but it was sunny out and there were birds and trees so it was peaceful too. No reason to worry. John Zaffis from Haunted Collector was there giving us a tour, I knew this would be bad. We went into one of the houses and it looked exactly the way I thought it would look. Like a Crypt.

He started talking about what ghosts can do to you and I imagined I saw every piece of weird paranormal activity I have ever seen on the show (which is like 2 and a half episodes, I don't believe in ghosts, they are kinda boring, not really scary). I saw people's faces being translucent, civil war bullets floating toward me, the lights exploding, the works. Normally I'd start laughing at the ridiculousness of it, but with my logic shut down and my brain overflowing with Id, I sprinted out of there as fast as possible, I tripped, couldn't move. The bullets were flying toward me and the ghost hovered over me. I thought that it reminded me of Dementors and then 4 Dementors came in and gave me the kiss of death. BOOM I'm awake and still feeling sleep paralysis, I can imagine why people think that a ghost is sucking the soul out of them since its kinda like a weight on your chest. Half a second later its gone.

Its about 3 in the morning so I thought I might attempt a WILD since I'm already up. I get almost there but head into HH mode and hear a ghost-like groan and I'm immediately back awake. Apparently I succeeded the second time because I am lucid right from the start.

Dream 3:

I'm back at my driveway, both Saturn VUEs are still there, but it's night and there is a cooler sitting on the front porch. It is filled with strawberry and orange popsicles and many different fruity Jelly-Beans. I thought that it would be nice if my girlfriend came over, and she walked out of my house a few seconds later holding something she drew (she's an amazing artist). I gave her one of the popsicles and a big smile came up on her face. We went inside and we ate popscicles for dinner and watched Eureka. It was short lived but still one of the best dreams I've had and it was awesome to be able to passively control it (I was really in the mood for a popscicle, its been 105 degrees Farenheight ,40.5 degrees celcius, and near 100% humidity).

Non-dream Dream Lucid Nightmare Out of Body Experience Fragments False awakening Early awakening

Date: 2011-07-24
Technique: WILD/DILD.

I tryed out the WILD technique again, but again my mind fell asleep and I had to use the DILD-technique to become lucid.

I'm in the elevator of my buildning (in Frölunda). Carrying something big and white. I get out of the elevator. I feel funny. I leave the item I'm carrying and walk right back into the elevator to look at the buttons, to do a reality check. The buttons are not in their right places and now Im lucid, I wake up...?
I'm in my bed. Eyes closed. I believe I'm awake. Suddenly I begin to float, upward toward the ceiling (I'm lucid again). I start to imagen myself climping a rope and then I begin to float faster. I open my eyes when I realize THIS IS MY FIRST OBE!! My room I dark, just like when I fell asleep, but its still possible to see the whole room. I stop about 30cm under the ceiling. I get a little freaked out...

I wake up.

I woke up sometime around 2 AM and did a WILD. It was successful, here is my dream:

I opened my dream eyes and looked around. I was in a grocery store and everything looked blurry. I rubbed my hands together and stabilized the dream. I tried a piece of fruit, that looked liked a green orange. It tasted sweet and really sour.

I wanted to get to the Dream Academy so I found a random door and when I opened it I expected ocean water to start flooding the store. I swam through the door and looked around for the academy.

I saw something shiny and realized it was the diamond door. I opened it and saw Joslyn standing there, waiting for me.

"Welcome back" she said in her musical voice.

"Thank you...where should I go?"

"I recommend you take the Striffing class. Just go in the castle take the first 2 lefts. Tap on the wall 3 times and get in the elevator."

I had no idea what striffing was but I followed her instructions. I tapped on the wall 3 times and an elevator appeared. I hopped in and looked at the buttons. They were numbered 1-9213. I pressed 2 and the elevator shot up instantly.

It opened with a bing! and I stepped into a HUGE orange classroom. It didn't have any desks or whiteboards and it looked like it was made with wood. There was a group of students gathered around a tall, skinny man with a long goatee.

He came over to me and touched my arm. Suddenly I could see how to striff. It was melting into the ground or a wall and sliding inside of the wall until your reach your destination.

I jumped into the floor melting as I hit it. Everything was a grayish color and I could feel my goo-ish self shooting forward. I popped back into shape and I was standing in another room, but this room had plants all over it.

I remember seeing red roses, mini trees, and other colorful plants. The room was so bright and cheerful. I walked around it looking for someone to talk to. I smelled a flower and then I heard the toilet flush in the hotel room next to mine. I woke up.

Hi everyone, I won't be adding any of my non lucids from the trip, just the lucid ones.

I was walking in an aquarium looking at all the different fish. I saw a shark swimming towards the glass I was looking in and it started slamming the glass. It started to crack and I ran down a hallway in the aquarium away from the cracking glass.

I saw someone pinching their nose in the hallway and I thought that was really weird. I remembered reading a thread about seeing people doing RCs in real life. I stopped running and did a nose pinch RC myself, believing I could breath through my nose. I could breath!

I was dreaming! I stabilized the dream. I tried to think of what I wanted to do. I wanted to go to the shared dreaming experiment but I just couldn't think of the name of the pyramid. Whenever I tried to go there it shot me back into the aquarium.

I decided to complete one of the tasks in the Task of the Year (Which I memorized) I wanted to steal Dorthy's red slippers. I broke the aqurium glass and swam up expecting to appear on the yellow brick road. I got out of the water and climbed onto the road.

I saw Dorthy and tin man in the distance skipping down the road and I ran towards them. I took over tin man's brain and made him shove the slippers off Dorthy. I made him hand them to me. I tapped them 3 times and said "There's no place like home"

Suddenly colors started spinning around me and I was swimming in a lake of.....pencils? I grabbed a pencil and examined it closer. The words on the pencil were gibberish but they were in the design of a wave.

It started to rain and the yellow color of the pencils started to wash off. The rain felt very cold and wet and woke me up.


When I woke up I swear to god I could still feel the rain and I thought I was in a false awakening. I did an RC but then the rain feeling went away.

DELETED

Oneironautic's Dream

I was in a giant arena with loads of sea animals in swimming pools. All around people were looking at the animals, who were in very tiny spaces. I thought to myself, this is really cruel, too evil to be real. Then I realised that it was and I was dreaming...I looked around and attempted to stabalise the dream. I felt one of the bannisters and looked around. For some reason I was wearing glasses, and though I could see fairly clearly through them the space around the outside was all blurred. I didn't want to take them off incase I lost the dream. I was still stabalising myself when I felt an odd sensation on my leg- A crazy guy had bit me! This was really unexpected, and I was unsure what to do. I wanted to help the animals, but the crazy guy was getting in my way. I wanted to get rid of him so I clapped my hands and made his head explode, which was maybe a tad harsh, but I wanted to save the animals. Everyone else started t scream and run away, and I walked over to a balcony, where I could see the fish miles below. As I was figuring out how to save them the dream faded.
Although I didn't do any of my dream tasks, this was still the clearest, longest most lifelike lucid I have had

My first since visiting DreamViews

Well haven't been here very long but in the short time I have been here(2 weeks and 1 day but who's counting ) i have grown to like it here and have definite plans on staying. Anyway so I had like 3 lucids but I didn't have my physical dream journal with me where I sleep so I don't remember the 3rd at all and the 2nd I cant remember if it was part of the first one or not. So the dream started with me in my room (it was a WILD so I'm lucid already) I was looking for some dream characters because I'm interested in shared dreaming so (with wakingnomads thread on differentiating between DC and dreamer thread) I wanted to see what my DC's were like. and I walked outside and a wolf was charging at me but i was determined to find a DC so I gave it none of my focus or energy and by ignoring it's presence and as it kept charging me I kind of ran under it and it wasn't heard from again. I couldn't find any of my DC's so I did what every new dreamer wants to do. Attempt flying. So I tried just jumping straight from the ground and fell, I then tried a running start and put my hands like superman, that didn't work. Then I woke.

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

Unfortunately, my recollection of this dream is very vague, and a lot of details have been forgotten. Grr. Anyways, I pretty much only remember the lucid part. Which isn't that bad.

I'm standing outside my house, when I realize something is strange. I don't remember exactly what it was that I noticed, but whatever it was caused me to perform a reality check. I remember being extremely shocked to discover I was actually dreaming, and I had performed another reality check. Sure enough, I became lucid.

Immediately, I went to go find Arthur from Inception, again. Man, I really am obsessed. I have a GIANT list in real life with everything I want to try and achieve in lucid dreams. One of the things on said list is to hang out with the entire crew from Inception. Anyways, I run inside my house. I remembered reading a post on DV in real life about someone using the phone to call the operator and order stuff/talk to people. I picked up the house phone and dialed '0' for the operator. It was a woman that answered, and the conversation went something like this.

Operator: Hello?
Me: Hi, I'd like my call to be connected to Arthur...Smith. (I don't know what Arthur's last name is.)
Operator: What are you talking about? There's no such thing as Arthur Smith.
Me: ...right. Thanks anyways.

Frustrated, I hang up the phone. There is one part I remember where my dad, his friend, and my dad's boss all walk through the kitchen. The thing is, I know my dad's boss is a man in real life though I've never him. But in my dream, he was a woman. Whatever.

Anyways, so, I still at least want to hang out with someone from Inception. I walk into my bedroom and find my cellphone, which I proceed to pick up and call the operator once more. Again, it's a woman on the phone, but she sounds younger and her voice is more high-pitched. The next conversation went pretty much like this...

Operator: Operator.
Me: Hi, could you connect my call to...Frederick Eames? (Once more, I have no clue what Eames' first name is, because the movie never tells you, but Freddie Eames seems to work, right?)
Operator: Sorry, ma'am, he died. Murdered by a group of angry women.
Me: ...I'm sorry, he's dead?
Operator: Yes. Sorry.
Me: Oh, that's okay...
Operator: Can I ask you something?
Me: Yeah, sure.
Operator: How many women did he cheat on?
Me: Too many to count.

So, I wasn't really expecting that answer. I hang up, now even more frustrated. Making people appear with mind power never works for me, but apparently, neither was trying to call them and invite them over.

But suddenly, my phone rings. The number on the screen is just a random jumble of numbers, but I answer it anyways. And the next conversation is sort of like this:

Me: Hello?
Voice: Hi.
Me: ...Eames? (yes, I recognize the voice as our dear Eames. How he got my cell number, I'll never know. xD)
Eames: Yes.
Me: Umm...what's up?
Eames: I...I...SHE LEFT ME! I can't believe it! Right at the altar! (At this point, he's blubbering like a baby. I can't really make out what he's saying from that point on because his voice is really quiet.)
Me: There, there... (I say this in a very awkward fashion, as even though I was only dreaming, it was still weird for me. )
Eames: *continues crying and mumbling incoherently*
Me: Well, speak up!
Eames: *still talking incoherently*
Me: ...are you coming over, then?
Eames: I guess.

I pull the phone away from my ear and look out my bedroom window to see a car pulling up in front of my house. I put the phone by me ear again.

Me: Is that you now?
Eames: What? No.
Me: Oh...

I hang up the phone. Turns out, the SUV belongs to some random lady, who is also British. She gets out of her car and walks...right through the wall and into my room. She says, "were you just talking to my brother?" I reply, "Oh, is Eames your brother?" She looks very annoyed and says, "Yes, and he's a pig. Probably just sitting in his kitchen, stuffing his face with any food he can get his hands on."

I wake up. I know there was so much more to that dream, but I can't remember it all. Aww man. I bet it was a hilarious dream, based on those strange phone conversations I had. I'll try for another lucid dream tonight. Hopefully I'll remember more!

Non-dream Dream Lucid Nightmare Fragments False awakening Early awakening


The door bell - multiple false awakenings
This is one of my first anchored lucid dreams and false awakenings. Happened for about 6 years ago. I wrote it down

1. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I open the door, no one is outside.

2. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I open the door, there stands a someone I dont know.

3. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I open the door, there stands two girls.

4. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I stop outside the bathroom, for some reason. My jaws is pressing together and I cant control it. They are pressing together so hard that my teeth break. It feels really strange, very numb but I can feel them break.

5. I wake up, the door bell rings, I rush out of my bed to open the door. I stop outside the bathroom, for some reason. My jaws is pressing together and I cant control it. The are pressing together so hard that my teeth break. Now I get it, this is not for real. I most be sleepning. I decide to try to make my to closest friends appear outside the ringing door. I imagen them standing there. I look into the peek hole. Its not them outside, its some random people. I try again to imagen my friends. I peek and say to myself "what the fuck, hahah!" on the other side of the door stands an amish family dressed in old black clothes. A man, a women and their many kids. I open the door.

6. I wake up. Im still lucid from the last FA. Now before I go thru the kitchen to get to the door I imagen my friends in the kitchen before I enter. It did not work. Instead there is a lot of random people and the room seems bigger. I faint.

7. I wake up. Im still lucid. Trying to imagen my friends in the kitchen again. This time my mother is in the kitchen instead. I faint in slow motion.

The teeth thing, later became my main way to get lucid (I dont use it anymore). The good thing was that I was able to know that I was dreaming but it was a really strange and unnecessary way to do it


The door bell 2 - multiple false awakenings
Before this False awakenings Ive told my brother that he cant invite people over this weekend caus we already had to much parties at our place.

I wake up, the door bell rings. I am closing my window 'caus it full of ice and its very cold outside. Outside the door is people who wants to party.
The same thing happens about 2 more times until my teeth break again and I get lucid. This is the first time I ever try to fly. It took about 4 more false awakenings to learn. In the last one I fly inside my apartment towards the door.

Cant remember more.
