memorable

I'm on a perilous and winding mountain road. The road eventually gets to a point where it's straight up, at a 90 degree angle. I make it over the top of the incline and end up in a town.

A large group of people are hanging around outside their houses, celebrating new years. I notice that four guys seem out of place. I also notice signs of some sort of mysterious substance that is being handed out and passed around. I witness people eating the powder. Nothing noticeable happens to anyone.

I travel to the house of stairs. Stairs everywhere. Probably an infinite amount of stairs. There are drawers and cabinets everywhere. Every single stair has hidden compartments. Suddenly, Blake and Joe are with me. We find a white, cocaine like powder. I assume this is the substance that the people of the town were ingesting. We find drinks in another hidden compartment, and we mix in the powder. Of course, we had to drink it. Pass out.

Wake up to find everyone gone and an enormous craft outside of town. It's so badly wrecked that I can't really tell what kind of machine it is, but it seems to have come from the air. I enter it, and a child is panting and writhing with rolled back eyes. I turn around and see an old friend. I ask him where everyone is. He tells me they're not here anymore, some sort of transformation, or ascension. I ask about the child, and I'm told something unintelligible. I exit the craft alone, and make my way to a glass skyscraper in the middle of the town. I make it all the way to the top floor. I walk over to the window, and stare out over the town. No sign of life, and the wrecked aircraft has layered the town in a thick fog. I'm then pushed from behind. I smash right through the window, towards the ground. As I'm falling, I manage to spin my body around to look up. I see a small figure also falling. I can't make out its face, but I can see that it's smiling. I spin my body back to face the rapidly approaching ground, but I realize I'm not falling anymore, and I'm back at the house of stairs. Blake and Joe are, again, with me.

There is a mother and a child sitting on some stairs, blissfully unaware of us. The child is playing with a streamer while the mother watches with endearing eyes. There is an extremely old woman at the top of some stairs, fiddling around in a drawer. I start moving towards one of the infinite number of staircases, but the old woman turns to me and asks, "Have you had a taste?" I just smiled smugly, for reasons unknown. "Enough!", she said, "You'll have a taste now." She had an empty, terrifying look in her eyes. Joe and Blake were frozen in shock, eyes and mouths wide open, staring around, at me, at her. I took what was forced on to me, which happened to be that damned white powder again. My vision flashed, mind went numb. I saw the old woman's features take on an extremely slender and jagged quality. She slowly morphed, becoming taller and skinnier. Her eyes were black, face blurry, as was everyone else's. She drew me closer to her, and then shoved my now tangible consciousness into my brain. Like, literally, into my exposed brain. Having anything shoved into your brain probably hurts.

Oh boy.

At my cousins house, I was in the basement looking for a big Lego set that i could build. I only found one that had a green wing and a red wing, so I decided not to build it. I sat there and then went upstairs, "We are going to the grocery store" She said. I wanted to go with my mom. The dream suddenly changed to a long long sidewalk. I was racing my cousin and my sister down the sidewalk. My cousin was all the way behind us, but my sister had a random unicycle that she used. I had super speed and ran just as fast to be neck an neck with my sister. When we turned the dream changed back, I was in the car my dream thought my mom had. it was blue and very small with roller coaster seats, One of my cousins came with us and refused to put on his seat belt. We went in a circle and i found myself holding a bag of peaches, I grabbed 1 and it was bitten so i grabbed another and it was slashed, the third one was perfect. The dream ended.

I was in a dark neighborhood and down the street was complete darkness. Knowing that if i went down the street it could turn into a nightmare, I went into the house to the right and there was a child version of a robloxian inside the house. When I looked out the window I saw way more of the creatures going into the house and walking around. The child then pointed to the mirror, I saw myself as one of the children then it went into third person. I went outside and heard the children screaming and running in the house. It was like a giant tag game, but if your tagged you die and get respawned in a house. I started running to the left and saw a big box that had light emitting walls. I ran in, but it got me and i found myself back in the house. The child spoke to me "Press K to run". Not even thinking about it being a dream, I saw a random k key come up and I started running even faster into a dark tunnel in the box. I then woke up

What... the HELL just happened.

It started with me talking to my friend from High School. We were talking about lucid dreaming stuff. We then sat down next to each other and fell asleep. Then I was in (what I thought was) his dream.

It was him on a raft, then he flipped around and jumped into the sea. This happened over and over. I asked him why, and he said he didn't know. He started showing me the way of his dreams, like why he started dreaming, what he hopes to do, blah, blah.

*Cut! Next scene...*

It looked like a line for a popular ride at an amusement park. People were lined up in a line. I then realized why I was here. I jumped around screaming I'm in a dream! Surprisingly this didn't cause any distortion in the dream. (Maybe because it wasn't mine in the first place, but how could that be, the first dream was mine, that's the dream this dream is inside of?) I did all the reality checks I could remember and they all worked like a charm. We were climbing up a hill on the side of a beach, when I asked him why he dreamed the same place over and over. He told me that it looked just like the posters on his room. He couldn't help it.

Dream ended.

Really, I have no idea. But I'm starting a thread on this to see what everyone else thinks.

Sweet dreams.

Ok I had a dream when I was about 14 that I can still remember to this day, I'm 27, female. It must mean something, what that is, I have no idea. So I suppose i'll just tell you about it, maybe someone here can make sence of it and why it has stuck with me for so long. Ok so in this dream I was on a beach with my mother and grandmother, the tide was comming in really quick, and they were folding and sorting washing, trying to get it ready before the tide came in. I was standing there watching, but I was hoping they would get the washing done in time so it didn't get wet. Then I look out to the ocean and this giant rushing cylinder coloured bright orange and made of water comes up out of the water, reaching right up past the clouds. This is the point where I start freaking out and all I can hear is this deafening rushing of water. The sky goes all dark and theres lightning, I look to my mother and she's walking towards this cylinder that has come closer to the shore. I'm screaming MUM! don't go near it! Then everything goes dark and silent. I feel myself being compressed smaller and smaller, I feel really heavy but like a ball of solid....energy. I'm floating in the darkness and I hear whispering all around me, I can't make out what they are saying. In my mind I was thinking I'm dead.....this is what happens when you die. The thing that sticks out most to me is becoming this orb or ball or whatever, I felt so compressed and small but really heavy. I think I had a dream about dying...not my actual death....but maybe my curiosity about death created something like this.....any thoughts on this would be really appreciated. Thank you.

The dream started with me in a jungle retreat of some kind swinging on vines. I remember that I was afraid I went too high on the vines and that I would fall off and hit the ground. Then, there was all this panic about a virus on the island and there being infections. I walked into a restaurant which actually looked like a restaurant (Usually when my dreams have me go to a location, it will be another location pretending to be that location. Forget the term for this.) and all around me there were infected people with lizard like skin. I was warned not to touch them but then I realized I must be immune to the virus.

Soon I found myself in a world populated only by the other survivors, and I was at my high school where we were fighting like we were at war. I remember thinking about how it was just like in "The Stand."

Hello all, tonight I had a very long dream, so it might look more like a novel to y'all.

Anyways, here it is:


MEMORABLE
Length: 1 day
Type: Non-lucid

It started out in a house, all the cupboards had tar in them. I wanted to take a shower, so my mom told me to get the shower ready. I pulled cleaned it out and everything, and there was a door inside the shower. I threw the curtain out, and on it, it had clouds, it was like a generic sunny sky, on a curtain.

After that I went walking around town (it felt like we had moved), I found an airbase and walked towards it.

*I'm not sure what happened, I think I don't remember the transition, but maybe its two dreams? I dunno, anyways I skipped over time*

Two grown men that looked like they were miners were standing in front of me, one had blond hair, the other had short stubby black hair. The one with the blonde hair was holding a birthday candle, I asked him why, and he told me the rules of the place: "Before we go on our flights, we have to light a birthday candle with the number of the flight on it, then give it to our partner, if he can't light all the candles in time, I get tortured"
I was confused in many ways, but before I could ask, his partner quickly took it and lit all the candles. The blonde man let out a breath.

Then they held me a candle, I turned around and there was a girl behind me, she looked like she was in high school or something, they told me she was my partner.

And no, I did not. Don't ask me about that.

I struck a match on the cart we were standing around. Put it on the candle and then gave it to her. She tried to light all of the candles, but she failed. I looked at the men in front of me and they just looked back at me. I didn't dare to look back at that girl. The track in front of me (behind the two men) split into two. Two soldiers came down each track and grabbed hold of me.

*Memory blindness*

I was looking at two men. One to my right looked like he was on the end of his line, and the one to the right looked fresh out of College. The old man held the younger one a candle with the number "8" on it, and he said "This candle will be the end of me". The younger one said nothing with a look of despair on his face, and he quickly lit all candles. The older man looked relieved. I had a candle with the number 9 on it, I handed it to my partner, and she lit all candles this time.

*Memory blindness*

I was flying in some sort of plane, it was a sunny day with a few clouds in the sky, and I was pointed straight up. There was a radio in the cockpit and it cracked, a voice on it said in a muffled tone "There's a-uh hole in the clouds, go ahead up on it" I amused that was what I was pointing at, I suddenly warped upwards into space, with stars and the moon to the right. I started to question the physics of that little maneuver. After I did that, I woke up.

My ranting:
I have had two dreams that are fairly long, and this one long extremely vivid dream, within two days. I think my dreams are getting better by the day, and now I will stop focusing on dream recall, and start focusing on becoming lucid in those dreams.

Sweet dreams.

DILD1: I am in our old neighborhood with my mom and a truck driver discussing something. I don't like him. The next moment the three of us are in a public restroom and it looks like he used it just before we did. I get obsessed about not wanting to touch the toiler paper after him, I notice there is something on the paper, plus it is all soaked. My mom comes up with some napkins from her bag that I also don't want to use.

The scene changes and we find ourselves in a movie theater. A fake memory forms that we just watched some movie, went to the restroom, and now mom is sneaking in to watch the next movie for free. One thing that looks unusual is that there is only one single long row of seats, but at the time, I conclude that this is normal. My mom sits while I try to leave the place. I spend some time waiting for her, and in the meantime she is looking for 3D glasses. I notice lots of sunglasses on the floor, that I identify as mine as start putting them in my bag. I head towards the exit, but the door is locked, there is no handle too. I get a fake memory that this is normal during movies. I think I use some form of dream control and the door opens, but behind it is another door which I open the normal way.

I find myself in a long somewhat creepy corridor with strangely colored walls, that reminds of dreams I had. And sure enough, I become lucid. I stare at the walls for a while, wondering if I should go ahead and plunge in them, but based on gut feeling decide against it. I move forward a bit but suddenly I get a sensation that my hair band is falling and my head feels kind of uncomfortable, up to the point where it is so distracting I cannot continue walking? I wonder if I should waste time to try and fix a ponytail but know this is a bad idea to do during an ld, so just remove the hair band and my hair feels fine. (talk about vanity )

I keep walking down the corridor that dynamically changes and become a bit like an inside balcony, and I can see part of the floor below. As I reach the end of the corridor/now balcony and look to my left the light downstairs goes off. Downstairs looks a bit creepy and I say something like "Oh, come on", but then hear some kind of a click sound and the light is on again. Then off again and finally on. What the hell is going on, I think. I turn around and something like a room is beginning to form. There are many DCs here, mostly children and a guy, they all look pretty much the same, very blond with red cheeks. I find this strange and the guy is not quite finished in the face, some of his features are not there so he is not very pleasant to look at. I decide I don't need to concentrate that much on him. I think about some of my goals. The first one that comes to mind is "assign a lucidity DC", so I start shouting at these strange blond DCs something about them and lucidity. Most of them don't pay me any attention, but my voice is so loud, I wonder if I am doing this irl too.

Then I look around, have a moment of aha realization as I remember the naked task. Of course, with so many DCs in the room, it is perfect for the task. So I first try to memorize the place and DCs a bit more (to be able to describe in detail, the way I do it, it is really bad for stability!) In front of me is a strange looking desk and three kids, one of them has silver sparkle decorations on his face. This time I am wearing only underwear with my casual type of bra. Just as I figure an easy way to take it off, the dream abruptly ends and I find myself back in bed.

I am very aware of body and need to go to the restroom. As I get back to bed I struggle with the heat, and am interrupted by the alarm of the guest, who always sets it hours earlier than he needs to wake up and leave. I really don't understand this. Insomnia...and then finally asleep for a bit.

DILD2: The dream begins as I am concentrating on my hands, trying to hold them still as possible, I get this floating feeling, expecting to transition. I then look around and understand that I am already in the dream. It is a small room, I start rubbing my hands vigorously, paying attention to the effect. The dream stabilizes for a while. I remember "the task" and search for DC audience. There are two male DCs on the bed, one on top of the other (doing nothing and with clothes on), and the other is asleep. They look very lifeless and I wonder if I should leave the room - door is just in front of me, but I get the feeling that might throw the dream out of balance and decide to wait. "Let me first get naked, then I'll see about the audience". I check my clothes - jeans (that later turn to shorts), socks, and a T-shirt. I start with the T-shirt but as it covers my eyes, it gets a bit entangled around my head, and I as get it off I lose my sight and end up in the void.

This annoys me but my anger turns into podcast inspired stubbornness and I keep trying to resume with the dream taking my shorts off and one sock while in the void. A moment later the dream picks up from exactly the same place. I expect at this point not to be wearing shorts anymore, but as I look down I have two pairs of shorts one on each leg. It's funny and reminds me of OB and her blankets. I go and sit on the bed which is now on the opposite side of the room, or is it another bed? I contemplate a bit of whether I really need to be sitting to more easily get rid of my shorts and remaining sock, but conclude it feels more comfortable that way. The dream fades and I wake.

The guest finally wakes up too, so that was it for today.

Dreamed I was playing with my little baby niece and all of a sudden the house was surrounded by a SWAT team and helicopters outside (police dogs and guns drawn by officers and all). They came in and bullied me and pushed me to the ground while they search the house. I continued to ask them what where they looking for. I was more mad than scared because at first they were just ignoring me. When they finally got through searching the house (inside and outside) they came over to me and jerked me off of the ground and told me to 'hand it over.' I said, "Hand what over??!!" They said to hand of the gene. "We know you have it, hand over the GENE." Then I woke up...

Question: Not sure if 'the gene' was my baby niece or what...

Remembered this one kind of late. Lately i've been wondering if it was possible to do drugs in a dream, and if so what effect they would have. Well, last night I had a NLD where a friend of mine slipped shrooms into my food without my knowledge, and shortly after I started to hallucinate. I remember feeling very high and having visions of ghost images to either side of an object. When these objects moved, however, it gave off a slow motion effect. Imagine taking frames from a video and layering the more recent frames over the older ones, giving a trail effect. This was especially evident with moving people. It was a surreal experience, and a topic that I think deserves some experimentation in future LD's.

I started out driving from work toward a bar. I was going to meet a man there I know a bit from work, and don't really know and don't really like on some kind of date or happy hour. But I wanted to call it off, and say another woman would attend in my stead (this is a woman I do not know in real life). I did not know the direction to this bar but was driving there any way, though I did not know where I was going. I was desperately trying to use my phone to either get directions to this bar or to call this man to call it off, confused which.

In mid dream, my husband showed up and he was now in the driver's seat, and he was telling me that I would not be allowed to use my phone or iPad any more because he needed all our data plan for himself. And while I thought this was harsh, I accepted that I deserved it. I had caused the loss of the election - it was all my fault - I felt profound guilt. In the middle of this discussion though where my husband is saying how I lost all my phone privileges, I interrupt him to say that I now have to use my phone to either look up directions to the bar or to call the man I was going to meet to tell him that I am not coming but another woman is coming instead.

Side note: I found the references to my two dreams from June 6th in this dream fascinating. It's like this dream is a continuation and spin off of those dreams:

Dream 1(fragment): I found a crisp one dollar bill in a brochure folder when going through the mail.

Dream 2:I was in a school-like building with various family members. I know for sure that my sister, parents, and Uncle R. were there. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be someone's house or an actual school. The conversation was definitely about school though. Sister was preparing some kind of project and I think she needed some supplies. I was hanging out with her on some kind of loft type thing. Uncle R. was agreeing how schools were overcharging people. That tuition costs a lot and all supplies/trips/etc. still need to be paid for.

Dream 3: The Alamo was an Aztec temple occupied by Aztecs. They were being aided by alien forces. I don't remember very well what they looked like, but they were huge and appeared like slightly more life-like Transformers. One was particularly scary to the opposing forces, which retreated.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments)

I was chatting with SilentEternity on skype and there was something about school i had to search on google.

Dream 2:

I was watching yogscast playing on some rather simple minecraft map. It was designed for competitive games but they were trying to coop it for some reason, then they used flight cheat to get to the upper area of the map. There was passageway with glowstone, and another hidden passageway in it. Then there were some big spiders with changed, non-squarey, models, yogscast suddenly started overreacting and then...
I suddenly am at home in corridor and dad's here i spontaneously realize that i am dreaming and start going forward, i try imagining sounds of spiders from before, then i actually hear one coming from behind and then i kinda ride on him to the kitchen, where i lose balance and fall off.
I wake up but i still have dreamy feeling so i rub hands, it's very vivid and i think about transformation, i remove window by jumping backwards through it, then i feel wings and fly. There are some DCs and also i briefly notice some huge dude in the red shirt in a chair to the left. I try transformation but i somehow get teleported back a bit instead, i continue flight along the building but then dream fades out.

To cut a long dream short and get to the point that is interesting...

I am in Sydney and have created a new business that has the potential to change the world, the business takes off very quickly and a special dinner event is thrown to talk about the idea.
During this dinner I am joined by 8 other heads in their field, each very impressed with the idea and they share stories with me over drinks. After a few drinks an award is offered to me, an apartment that pulls in $60k a year in rent, its on the harbour in Sydney and L and I can stay there as long as we want.

The logical part of my brain starts to kick in and does the figures, soon I am talking math with the 'teachers' and they again talk about my idea and the important the Sydney Harbour Bridge played in the formation.

As a reward for the idea, they have converted part of the bridge into a very crazy roller coaster ride. This is where it starts to become very interesting. As I look as the bridge I notice about 200 people strapped into the ride, in chairs that you are held up by your shoulders (so to speak) and your feet dangle free.

The amazing thing is when the ride starts to move, and I can not explain this in enough detail to share the complexity of what I saw but in a matter of seconds my dream had created one of the most extreme and logic rides on the bridge that looped back in on it self and almost had people hitting each other as they passed through the loop. The amazing thing was that it worked with such accuracy that I was astonished.

I was aware it was a dream for a split second before I awoke and the only thing I could think of was, "wow, how did I create something this complex in a matter of seconds. Amazing"

Secret Club:
I was on some mission to find treasure. I remember going to a pyramid/temple looking place in a jungle because i heard there was treasure in a cave that was inside the temple place. So i get to the temple and explore the cave and travel 2 layers underground. ( imagine a layer as like a floor in a tall building, that length) I find a treasure room, i can't remember if i take any or not, but i do remember going back down a second time but the second time, i find a bunch of corpses coming back to life and i immediately panic and run out.

The inside of the temple then changes from a cave entrance to a cave entrance separated into two by a wall. I then reach into a hole that is in my face and i feel a cube. I pull the cube out, the cube covered another cube which is attached to the inside of my face by skin shaped like rope. I then figure out that the cube will dissolve and poison me if i don't put the bigger cube back over it. The bigger cube also turns out to be a tracking device. While i find out all this, i see my dad on the inside of the temple, For some reason, i challenge him to a duel, i say if i win, he has to cut the skin holding the smaller cube in.

Next thing i remember, i'm at a party on the back of my farm. I'm leaving it with my friend. The cube is still in my face, i must have lost the duel xD. Anyway, me and a friend are going to a secret club room that is located under my barn. Now the back story about this club:
One of my teachers (lets call him Teacher #12) started a secret club, the rules went like this - If teacher #12 isn't in the secret club room, then he will act like any other teacher and punish students who talk of secret club nonsense.

Once me and my friend arrived at the barn, i went inside and my friend walked around the barn to go do something. At this point, i was about to enter the secret club room when i heard Teacher #12 walking outside, Since he wasn't in the club room, we were at risk of being punished/kicked out. My friend outside the barn didn't hear him and teacher #12 yelled at him.
"You think this is okay!?!? that you can just be in a secret club in THIS SCHOOL??"

Once my friend was yelled at and walked away. I started to panic because my ipod was playing out loud and teacher #12 was about to enter the barn. I finally shut the ipod off and hid, but teacher #12 was entering so i decided to exit. I made it safely out of the barn without being spotted. I then walked down a hill about to leave the area when i saw Teacher #12 in front of me. I started to wonder how he got in front of me so fast but i decided it didn't matter since he didn't see me. He was rambling on about what my friend did. "When i was a kid, i never did stupid stuff like that" Teacher #12 was commenting on my friends poor stealth on entering the club and how when he was a kid, he was excellent.

Then, as i'm walking behind him, i trip over something. I look up and there's teacher #12, He cloned himself! Him and his other body come to me and try to fight me. What surprises me even more was the fact he could stretch out his arm and hit me from a distance, He's a rubber man! But i quickly grab one of his bodies and use it to shield his fist. Thankfully, his bodies act like same-charged magnets, the body i had repelled his fist. The dream ended here.

Jail:
It was a hot summer day. I was bored so i got on a bus with friends. I brought a drink and sandwich with me but this one fat ass kept trying to take my food. I solved the issue by taking another persons soda and putting it on the floor closer to him than my soda was, Obviously, he didn't want to reach the extra distance for my soda Success! Eventually the bus got to some place and i got out.

The next thing i know, i'm in some kind of rebellion and i'm currently helping to steal guns. Me and a group of people enter a house, i grab the guns. We make a move to leave but the police are surrounding us. We move to the next house and go out a window and then into some woods. We look back only to find drag marks from the guns and our footprints. This isn't a safe hiding place for the guns so i look around some more, and quickly lay the guns in a bush and start running.

As i'm walking back home, i see a lady on a swing, and she has a sad look. She says she knows i'm involved with the recent break in and that the police are after me. I decide to give up and i take a seat on the swing beside her. As i'm waiting there, it turns to night and i see lights in the distance. My mom is riding with the chief of police in a utv. They aren't looking for me but rather taking a casual stroll. I decide this is my chance, i could take the chief of police hostage and turn the situation around. I take the utv this lady has and set out after them. When i get close, i start to ram them. But soon after, the police come and i'm arrested. I'm taken to a dark room, i'm waiting to be taken to jail but as i'm sitting there, a mysterious man comes in and frees me from my jail time.

Another dream continues on the basic concept of my stealing weapons. In this one, i'm with two friends sneaking in this persons house. The house is an exact copy of my house. We steal the guns and go out some windows at the end. At this point, i take two quarters and seal my friends' bodies inside them and carry them in my pocket. This allowed for faster travel. I ran and ran and made it to the edge of the woods. Once i got there, i found two other people i know trailing behind me, they were interested in what i was doing and called the cops. This time, i'm arrested but sent to an underground hellish looking place. I find an android and have sex with it, and that's all i remember. (That all took a lonnggggg time to type )
