memorable

My first dream I remembered wasn't a nightmare. It had nightmarish qualities. I was walking across the Golden Gate Bridge. Fog everywhere. Then the bridge started to wobble and pitch. I grabbed for support. I knew I had to make it across so I sprinted across. One of the "waves" of the bridge hit me up. I was falling through the air. I woke up after that. Last nights dream was about a car ride with my friend. My other friends were in the car. He dropped them all off at my friend's house. I was about to get out of the car when Kegan (the person driving) said to stay in. He was taking me home. We talked about hiim and the others not liking me and said I should find new friends. I've had this problem in the real world as well. This journal is open to analysis.

Back again to my desert planet. The second dream I had was very brief and it sort of carried over to my third dream so I'll add them both together.

Second dream: I appeared out in the middle of the desert. Dark golden sand dunes spread out as far as the eye could see. There was some sort of military operation going on. I found the entrance to a simple bunker, heading down beneath the surface. Some camo tents were pitched around it. I was following some soldiers. We hopped onto some ATVs and took off away from the main site. A dust storm started to pick up and the last thing I remember was riding through it.

Third dream: Again I was out on those dunes except this time there was a battle going on. There were actually groups of boulders scattered around the area so I ducked behind some of them to stay out of sight. It really was the most ridiculous thing. An army of midgets were fighting against Nazis. I was transported to another area with a group of women and children. The area we were in was more rocky. Light reddish dust stirred up underneath our feet. Rocks surrounded us, from pebbles to a small mountainous area of dark brown and black stone. It was my job to get the women and children to safety, away from the battle. One soldier had followed to help me. We ran. I was in the lead, he brought up the rear.

Out of my peripheral vision I saw some black shapes start to appear from behind the boulders we passed. We stopped and stared in horror as a group of dog-sized cockroaches started to scurry in our direction. The soldier bade me to take our group and run, saying he'd stay behind to try and buy us time. I didn't want to leave him, but I had no choice. The women and children came first. As we took off again I could hear his screams. I didn't have the courage to look behind me, knowing what I'd see.

I felt a sense of urgency niggle at the back of my mind. We were being followed again by something else. I ushered my group into a cave. It was dome-shaped inside, with ledges carved into the rock like shelves. We climbed as high as we were able and perched on them. No sooner had I ascended two velociraptors came running in. They hissed and tried jumping for the ledge I was on with another woman. We backed up as far as we could, just barely missing their snapping jaws. In the entrance to the cave I noticed a large shadow. As it traveled closer I'm sure my eyes widened comically as a huge Predator appeared, decked out in gear and weapons. With his combi-stick he quickly dispatched the two raptors and stood still waiting for the women, children, and I to climb down from our ledges. I knew he wasn't going to harm us. I walked up to the Predator and thanked him. I woke up after that.

I told this dream to a coworker, and apparently the females in her family had an uncanny knack for interpreting dreams. I was confused by it, until she pointed out some things. I can say that once the dream was interpreted I felt very vulnerable, as it alluded to my childhood. It was interesting to realize how obvious the symbols were. I suppose it's easier for someone else to see things you cannot.

Well, I should be doing h/w but I distracted myself. I suppose it would be best to actually get it done so I can get some sleep. Until next time.

______________________
The scenario started out with me in an apartment, with my mom. It was a junky looking place, paint peeling off of walls.

I went outside, and checked the town out. It was a bright day, possibly the middle of the day.

Soon enough I got lost within the labyrinth of a place, and tried ot make my way back. The route I'd chosen to go back home took me through a run-down section of the town. Old houses, worn with age, plagued the area; It made me think that this was a boil on the town's face.

I tried to ask some people as ot where the apartment complex was but nobody was able to speak english; they all spoke in a language I'd never heard before. Puzzled, I make my way through the maze, and eventually find my way back.

Night had fallen the instant I stepped inside. And what was waiting inside, but a trusty dog. It was not a golden retriever, however - this one was a keshond. It greeted me, and I took a seat on the floor.

The dog layed across my lap, and I stroked its long, black fur. I eventually heard a knock on the door, and went over to answer it.

When I opened it, I walked into another dream.
______________________
I walked into a large house, it looking much cleaner and newer than the apartment. Stepping inside, I could smell the fresh country air leaking in from the windows.

I heard footsteps around the house soon after. Panicked, I swiftly made my way out of the complex, but not quick enough to see, out of the corner of my eye, a woman.

She was a medium, I knew that instantly - how, exactly, I could not figure out. In fact, I'm still perplexed as to how I knew such.

As I made my way down stone steps to the road, I hear from the back of me, "Do you know whos scizzors these are?"

Curiosity overtaking me, I look over my shoulder. Instantly, I felt a sucker punch to my emotons as I whisper every so quietly, "Oh my God."

The pair of safety scizzors belonged to a friend I had a long time ago - one of the only ones I'd had at the time. I'd moved away, and never heard from him again.

Warm tears began to streak down my face as I stare up at them. It was small, but I could clearly see the scizzors. She began hurriedly walking down the steps, saying somehting about the hospital, but my emotions had completely overtaken my body; I was frozen in place.

I shut my eyes to wipe the fluid away, and therein changed the scenario.
______________________
In that instant, I was inside of a van, which was pulling up to a flat house. I got out, and inspected the outside. My mission was clear: I was to plant a device in this persons' house without them knowing. It was their birthday, and we wanted to discreetly let him know we had a party planned.

I walk up to the house, and quietly open the front door. I dive for a counter, hiding behind it, as he'd come to inspect why the door was open.

I make my way to the east side of the house, going for a corner. I planted the device on a windowsill, being careful to balance it. It was a birthday timer, set to go off at 12:00 AM, which was approaching fast. It was going to shoot off tiny fireworks, set off sparklers, and so forth.

I make my way out of the house slyly, being sure to quietly shut the door. There were more people outside now, several cars litterred the frint yard. People waited outside, drinking some sort of alcoholic drink that was red at the bottom, and yellow on top. When offerred one, I turned it down.

We all began to count the seconds down. Ten, nine, eight, so on and so forth.

The device goes off, and we could hear tiny bangs echo from the house. It had worked.

We all flooded in through the door, and began to celebrate.

I soon woke up after being hugged and kissed on the cheek by the birthday kid.

I remember the previous dream and then from the middle/extended end of this one.

DILD: I am now on some unknown streets, it's a bright day. There is a plot going on, but I also know that I am dreaming. A girl maybe school age is my companion and this guy is waiting to meet us? in the middle of the street. I have the feeling that the dream is coming to an end, so move around quickly and try to absorb as much as possible.

I go in a small store where they sell clothes, but these clothes have special magical properties, like they can change your shape and turn you into animal. I feel the guy is waiting for me outside, so decide to ignore the magic items and go look for him. But when I do go out, the entire street has changed and he is no longer there. I am sad that I missed him. I remember trying to call him to come back but no result. I shortly contemplate whether to go back to the store. What was I supposed to do? Meet someone?

The girl from the earlier part now comes from somewhere and I finally remember that I was supposed to ask a question. At this point there is the realization that I had many chances to do so, yet always forgot to. I take it slow and ask the question - what are you thankful for, and become all ears, trying not to influence her answer. She opens her mouth and only some gibberish comes out, I can't make any word from that. I ask her again and she starts laughing maniacally. That pisses me off because I still expect to hear a normal answer. In the end she blurts out: "Are you deaf or what?". Her eyes seem quite lively but I have no explanation for this behavior.

Once again, I get the feeling that the dream is thinning out and look around wondering what to do and where to go. I remember that I wanted to go for Toty, but feel like this is the end of the journal entry where one finally figures out what to do at the moment the dream ends. I reckon the dream won't allow for any Toty completion at this point, so try to make the most of whatever dream time is left and look around. It's the like the main shopping street of a small town and for some reason, the area (I can't recall if it was) between stores or a mini street where I can see is more sun-lit, it looks extremely appealing to me and I decide to go there.

I know that I am on borrowed dream time and I try to take in whatever the dream offers. It's a small park type of pond, mostly dried out, but in one end is an indescribable large fountain with lots of jets beautifully arranged around the center. It undergoes some sort of transformation to become like the shape of a large oak tree made of ice. The texture is like a mix of slowly flowing fountain water and ice.

I look around and notice how on the surface of the dried out pond now there are scattered small pieces of ice and can see the reflection of the sunlight in each one, it's amazing. And as I scan the surroundings, I notice my special friend sitting near the other end of the pond. He is looking down, as if reading a book and I call out his name. He sees me and comes closer. Meanwhile, I notice that I am chewing a stupid gum and spit it out, but can still feel it in my mouth, ignore. In the last moments I manage to steal from this dream, we hug and try to ice-skate on the surface of the pond, towards the ice oak tree. The alarm wakes me up, recall is hard.

The dream starts on a beach. The sea is a couple hundred meters to my left. To the right is an endless expanse of yellow sand.
There is two of me, younger me and older me. Younger me looks about 16, older me looks about 24. Somehow I am both of them at the same time.
We are running from an unknown enemy. Though I never saw them in the dream I think they're a bunch of black vans with people with guns in them.
We're running, and we come to a forest. The beach just instantly stops at the tree line and becomes densely populated with trees. The vans won't be able to go through there. [here the perspective shifts from both mes simultaneously to just the younger me] Older me pulls a gun out of nowhere. He tells me to go on ahead. I know what he's thinking, he's going to sacrifice himself to buy me more time. I am sad as I run into the forest. I look back and see older me standing, waiting for the enemy and the dream ends.

We were on a field trip and one of my friends that had traveled to America was there. (In the dream though he said that he just got back from Canada). All around me are some teachers but they are leaving. He gives me a hug and continues hugging me until i pull away and tell him we can't hug now. (In my school if you hug someone of the opposite sex you get suspension
) So he stops. When we go outside, we walk and we talk for a bit. After all the teachers leave i tell him that i have no problem hugging him and that the only reason i told him to stop hugging me is so i wouldn't get suspended. So he looks around to make sure that their aren't any teachers and then gives me a longer hug. We sit on a bench and we keep talking and one of my friends come up to us and sits with us and says "I know i'm being a third wheel" so i give her the get lost look and she still goes "I know this is awkward" and she makes no move to get up and she says "I can stay here for hours". Right now i'm proper pissed off at her and then i wake up in my dream. Then i don't remember what happened but then i woke up for real.

Had a dream, but I was not lucid.

Woke up, took me a minute to recall that I had had one. As soon as i realized I had had one, I tried to calmly lie back and focus on it.

Between waking up and realizing the fact that I had had a dream, I had turned in bed, I could re-think the end of it, but I didnt move back to my origina position and I wonder if that effected my recall, as I constantly felt pressure on my left side of the face, as I slept chest downward, face burrowd in the pillow, 45 degree facing my right side.

11/24/13 * ~1145 ~340 wbtb mild+ssild (not meant to be done in the same wbtb at least when learning ssild) sexy strip game turns into incredibly sensual and realistic feeling at times threesome with wife and a very supple skinned blonde woman// I am in a good sized rectangular shaped room with about a dozen or so people and there is some sexy strip game that I either don't know the rules to or have forgotten them since waking and there is one very beautiful but very very game "monkey in the middle" a beautiful blonde woman with delicate features, smallish but beautifully formed breasts who has slowly been losing one item of clothing after another. She has a small wrap around her waste covering the last little bit. Something happens and she loses that last piece covering her and she seems to be loving it. Someone informs me that I am next. I already have my shirt off and I look over to my wife and ask something like "what am I allowed to do with her?" she looks like she is not sure what to say. I tell my wife "all I want to do is feel my skin up against hers" and I go for it. I lay down with her and her skin is so incredibly soft. My wife says "let me get on top" and we somehow partly meld together and I realize I am dreaming (took this long??) and I am already completely naked and I begin to (I will put the rest in a spoiler as it could read X-rated with a little imagination of the specific details that I left out)

Spoiler for sexual content:

have intercourse with the blonde while I - lets just say perform oral - on my wife's p...primary sexual region. After a while I pull back and offer up my now re-exposed member and they both begin to perform oral on me

and it feels incredibly realistic, I can't get over how incredible it feels despite being "just a dream!" and I slowly feel my awareness returning to my sleeping body and attempt to re-enter that dream and at some point I somehow re-emerge in a dark parking lot surrounded by a chain-link fence and apparently not lucid and don't seem to have any memory of the lucid previously as I am naked and I am concerned with pulling my pants on but they are incredibly tight. I am guessing this started as a false awakening. I barely get my pants on before a couple of kids pass by but they are lost in their own conversation thankfully. Slowly people of all ages start flowing into the parking lot and I get the feeling that it is a church parking lot and the sun is getting ready to come up and these people are on the way to church (a little dose of shame on me perhaps). One man is saying to I assume the wife that I think that is the same guy except he was wearing brown or green or something. I wake up and I quickly go back to the previous dream and I am just so exhilarated and the pep in my step is still going as I finally post this. I had another interesting dream before this, but probably only interesting to me. Up maybe an hour after not getting back to sleep after writing down the above in my paper journal and had a snack. I also briefly got lucid in a late morning nap but I don't think it deserves counting and was low awareness. It felt more like a late and 2nd wbtb than a nap so I don't even want to call it a lucid nap. I remembered some more dreams after this but this whole night solidified the idea that although my lucidity increases late in the morning if I start going too much beyond 8 hours my lucidity starts waning again.

I was attempting WILD, but then I just fell asleep. When I gained conscious later, I don't know why but My Reality Checks wasn't working properly so I thought that I was awake. I woke up in the living room where it is now night time and was eating noodles. After that I Remember we were racing with dolphins for the prize of something.
Then I was asleep in the dream. I did Reality Checks in that dream and found that I was indeed dreaming.
I tried to summon my classmate. First time, failed because I wasn't believing hard enough that I could summon.
Second time I was able to summon her. Last time I summoned her, she was wearing a red shirt, This time she was wearing a blue shirt.
My brother said "Hey, can you do one thing for me?"
"Sure, what is it?" I replied
I don't know what he said because he told me to summon a weird person we've never met but somehow I knew who to summon.
I summoned it and found that it was my brother's younger self.
He said "Yep, that's the one."
After that I Got a carpet and summoned some more things (I forgot what it was).
Then I woke up still inside the dream but was not Lucid anymore.
It was still dark like before and I heard my brothers talking, so I went in.
I saw them talking to each other about Lucid Dreaming and how one does it.
I was just walking around for a bit and found myself dreaming again.
We had guests over and we were watching Indiana Jones part 4 with the crystal skull.
The guest was looking through our movie so I guess he wanted to borrow some movies.
Soon after that, I woke up in my bed and it was Morning 7:40 A.M. already.

Side-note | Lucid

Here are some lucids that I never got around to putting in my journal.

Duke Nukem - my very first lucid, from before I knew such a thing existed
I'm standing on a platform elevator holding a large weapon. I realize that I'm inside Duke Nukem 3D and that I'm dreaming. I try to make the elevator move just by thinking at it, but nothing happens. I figure "oh well" and "let go" of lucidity.


No pants in an ancient temple
I'm in an ancient temple, Indiana Jones style. After going through a long room on some kind of mid-air trolley, I'm walking down a hallway. I stop to look at some carvings on the wall and become lucid for no clear reason. I realize I don't have any pants on, so I try to create some. Looking away and imagining myself wearing some fails. Believing that there are some behind be and turning around fails.

Now I'm in a parking lot near my car. I decide this is perfect, since it's much easier to believe a spare pair of pants is in the back of my van than it is to believe they're laying on the floor of a temple. I try to really BELIEVE I'll find some pants in the van, then go around and open the back. I find it packed full - it seems we're going camping, so we have all the camping supplies, including duffle bags with our clothes. I pull out a duffle bag and start looking through it. I find clothes for everyone in the family except me.


Eaten by a shark
As I'm swimming underwater, surrounded by colorful fish, a shark swims up to me. It's very cartoony, with lots of nice straight teeth in a menacing smile. I know I'm dreaming, so I try to make it go away, but it it doesn't go anywhere. I remember reading a dream challenge about being swallowed and seeing what's in the body; the next thing I know, I'm plunging down the shark's esophagus. It's mostly pink and red with a little green mixed in here and there. I think it's pretty disgusting, and I realize I have no idea what to do next or how to get out.

Now I'm back in the water. I'm impressed by the blueness of it. I find I can't move, and I realize that means I'm starting to lose the dream. I try to focus on the feeling of water on my skin, but I realize I can feel my sheets and pillow. I wake up.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some talk about games and level-making and something about timing. Then dream faded and i was in some HH/FA hybrid state where i could see a room with closed eyes, felt more like HH, i also saw my snout. I tried to DEILD/make it actual dream, but with no success.

Dream 2(fragments):

I am playing some game. then i wake up and get up room is different and i feel the dream, but then it fades.

Dream 3(fragments):

I woke up and decided to try DEILD but multiple people were distracting me with blankets and videos, eventually i woke up properly.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was with a group of people and there was some talk about 'Trance kid' that we had to find. Then i suddenly got teleported.
I am standing on what appears to be invisible platform floating in the air, the platform is above a highway and there are alot of cars and trucks, one grey truck near me. I realize that i am dreaming and apparently all cars and trucks drive but also they are kinda static relative to platform. I explore the place walking on this invisible platform/floor and then suddenly i am in some version of my room. I go ahead and phase through balcony door, which also had slightly broken glass on the right side. Then i fly with wings to metallic roof of one of small buildings and land into quadruped stance, dream shortly fades.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Eu e a Ju estávamos na academia do Dudda que se parecia com uma sala com sofás no meio.
O Danilo e a Bianca estavam lá treinando. O Danilo era faixa preta ponta amarela(?), e eu me lembro que não entendia essa graduação e pensava em perguntar pra ele.
A Ju sentava e eu ia treinar, mas o treino era apenas jogar bolinha pra cima.
Havia muita gente lá que eu não conhecia.
Eu saía de lá pra ver lá fora e encontrava algum conhecido masculino e conversava com ele.
Eu via um caminhão baú com um Furbie dançando na ponta.
Eu dava risada e pensava em mostrar pra Ju.
Eu entrava e falava pra ela que devíamos cobrar o Dudda e ela dizia que ali não era lugar pra isso. Eu mostrava pra ela uma sala que era ideal pra isso. Ela concordava.
O Dudda me chamava pro treino e a Ju respondia: "E se eu não deixar?".
Ela e o Dudda ficavam de cara fechada.

Eu estava passando de carro em um campo quando via um OVNI descendo em um morro. O Ovni disparava um tipo de raio de terraformação como no Spore e no caminho que o raio seguia surgia um riacho com um lago no fim, onde surgiam plantas estranhas e um tipo de coelho esquisito. Eu achava aquela a coisa mais linda que já vi na vida. Eu me transformava em uma mosca e voava. Passava por uma árvore estranha e uma planta carnívora linguaruda me pegava para comer. Eu conseguia fugir.

Eu estava numa sala gigante de faculdade e era representante da sala. Estávamos em uma aula livre e quase todo mundo dormia. Algum aluno me pedia pra acordá-los e eu dizia que não iria. Acho que ele mesmo acordava os outros depois.
A aula começava, não me lembro sobre o que era.
Saíamos da sala e íamos pra uma banca de jornal, eu e mais umas 3-4 pessoas. Parecia muito a banca que ficava na saída do condomínio Acácias. Eu ou alguém estava procurando mangás.
Depois disso lembro de estar em um deserto, indo pra uma base. Lá haviam muitas pessoas armadas. O sonho virava um tipo de FPS e eu, com um rifle de mira telescópica matava todos que estavam lá.
Dentro da base aparecia um casal de gordos que eram imunes as minhas armas. Eu pegava um lança granadas parecido com o do Shadow Warrior e disparava várias granadas dentro de uma máquina de lavar que estava perto deles. Ela explodia e os atordoava. Nessa hora eu fugia. Encontrava uma porta branca e lisa, sem fechadura ou maçaneta, apenas uma tranca simples e quebrada. Eu tentava entortar a tranca pra trancar a porta.
Do outro lado eu colocava minas na parece, parecidas com as do Duke Nukem, mas redondas, e fugia.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Esse sonho foi bem longo e vívido, mas como demorei pra escrever, esqueci muita coisa. Eu estava jogando um jogo dos Simpsons e entrava nele. Lá eu estava em um navio atrás de alguns itens, resolvendo alguns puzzles. Depois de uma determinada missão eu encontrava um item que estava procurando. Parecia uma folha de sulfite, mas quando eu a segurava ela disparava um tipo de "raio" de uma das pontas que grudava nas coisas. Eu lembro que eu a testava disparando no teto e brincando de "Tarzan". Meu pai estava nessa parte do sonho. Minha mãe e o Cássio também estavam no sonho, mas não me lembro em que momento. Havia algo sobre uma festa e um banho, mas não me lembro mais. Dentro do navio, em uma sala com várias pessoas eu via um mural de acrílico com algumas coisas escritas nele. Eu tentava ler mas não conseguia entender nada.
