non-lucid

Let's see... where do I begin?

First:

I was walking with my grandma. I was particularly surprised by how fast she was going, considering she's really, really old. She was also speaking faster than she does in real life. We were coming out of the subway and she knew exactly where we should go.

I followed her until we arrived at this house/apartment. It was a house, but it looked like an apartment, and we were outside. My cousin was there and he wanted to talk to me in private about school. He started whispering to me about failing school, and then our grandma was all "what are you two hiding from me!?" so we stopped and he said that he was just asking me if we should have some barbecue. Grandma loved the idea.

I went to the kitchen to get some meat, went back outside to our weird place, which suddenly had a place for making barbecue. My cousin thanked me and threw all the meat there. My grandma sat next to us and said that she couldn't wait for the barbecue. I told my cousin we'd talk later.

Second:

I was in class with my high school classmates. My former Algebra teacher was telling us that that we'd all done okay in our test, and that she was looking for people to help her. I started thinking that helping a teacher sounded like a good wy of getting extra credit and some money, but I suck at Algebra. I asked her if any other teachers were doing the same and she that other two were. She looked at some of her papers and she found that my former English teacher was also doing it.

Well, now THAT was awesome news! My English teacher LOVED me back in high school! I quickly got up and started running around the school. I found my English teacher, who looked completely different. I shrugged. So, she had a new haircut, it was still obviously her (no, it wasn't). She saw me and before I could say anything, she offered me the job. I accepted and she added that I also had to take her daughter on a date. Which was weird, but okay, I could do that too, yes.

So I found her daughter and she looked nothing like her real daughter (who's a year younger than me in real life, so I used to see her at school all the time and that's why I know it wasn't her). She was excited about going out with me and she looked pretty hot, so... eh, why not, right? My English teacher saw us and now she looked like herself again. She said we made a cute couple and told us to go out and have some fun.

Third:

I was in a weird castle. I had to share my room with lots of people and we were in what seemed to be a prison. We didn't have beds, just some sheets on the floor. A new girl showed up and she didn't have a place to sleep. I offered mine, and told her I could share with my girlfriend. Suddenly, I had a girlfriend there. Anyway, she thanked me. I told her I had to go outside and get some work done.

I left the building/castle and I was in a very beautiful garden. It was extremely green and I could almost feel the cool wind. As I was looking around, I remembered when I had first gotten there. And then the dream got weird. I've had this type of dream before, a few days ago, but it's still weird (here). It's like a film with flashbacks.

I was a little kid, but still at that same place. My father (who was NOT my real father) was there too. He was telling me I should be proud of being here, as this was the place that belonged to our family. I was really happy that I was there.

Back to the present, I was angry. I was a prisoner there! Some of the guards saw me outside and went there. They told me I couldn't be there and that I had to go back inside.

Back to little me. My mother (who was NOT my real mother) joined me and my dad. She told me that, as long as I was there, I could do anything I wanted to. We were the masters of that property, and everybody should obey to us. Little me laughed. I definitely enjoyed all that power.

Present again. I looked at the guards. Wait. This is a dream! Oh, I know exactly what I want to do! I'll bring my parents back here! They'll tell the guards all about our history here! That'll show them! The guards tell me to move and get back inside before they MAKE ME. I tell them to hold on a second because I need to summon my parents. They tell me to shut up, I turn to them, angry as hell, ready to tell them to stop distracting me... I wake up.

Fourth dream:

It was night and I was outside of this weird place. Looked like a factory. There were lots of us and we were told we'd be going to a better place. I was happy, I didn't like it there. Then, some people were taken to this building, they were being taken to the better place. The others staying behind, including me, would go later.

And that's when shit got real. The guards started shooting us. I moved fast. I ran to the building too and one of the guys there held the door open for me. I thanked him (he was a guy I went to school with). He said no problem and we noticed that the others inside the building had run somewhere else, still in the building. We started running together, trying to catch up with them. Somehow, I turned in a corridor, he turned in another. It was a dead end for me. I went back a little and noticed a sorta secret, but still visible passage.

I went there and found the others. It was a subway station. We were waiting for the train. The guy who had helped me wasn't there. They said it was okay, there would be other trains and, when he found this place, he could get on one and we'd all be together again.

I accepted that and got on the train that had arrived. There was a food machine in there and I decided to get something. Someone saw me and he was sort of a leader there. He said I wasn't supposed to be there, so if I wanted to stay, I should keep my mouth shut. I nodded and he walked away.

I sat down and stayed quiet.

And that's it...

I am going to disneyland. my sister and mom are both there. We end up walking around for a while, but then we find out that they are having some sort of convention, where they are going through a bunch of presentations and power points on fiscal plans and plans for the park. All of this is taking place in a giant hall that is also an auditorium that is the same one as the one from my high school. It seemed that at the end of the presentations, there would be a talent show. We enter in through the back of the auditorium, and we push aside the white curtains to enter. The stadium is pretty much packed. There are a few air force people in the back row that are watching the presentations. They are standing. A few rows in front of them there is another guy standing that is using sign language so that the presumably deaf guy in the row behind him could understand. My mom and sister go in ahead of me. The air force guys then leave and I try to take their seats, but it seems that they were saving them for someone because they left a yellow backpack and another black bag in their seats.
I look for another seat and notice that the talent show is starting. I notice that my asian friend, Nguyen is on stage now, as if he had performed earlier. Yelling his name so loudly that the croud starts to turn and look at me, I start going down the aisle towards the front left of the auditorium to look for a seat. It turns out that the first few rows are somewhat sparsely populated, so I start running to the left from the left middle aisle to go down the fourth third row. Behind me there are two colored teenage girls sitting. One was in a yellow top, and I can't remember what the other one was wearing. I sit down and notice that they are talking a lot. I infer that they are british, not by their accent, but by the fact that they did not know certain pop culture references. It seems that the talent show is a two part performance for each guest, and there are only two contestants left. A black man that looked a lot like Seal, the singer, walked out onto stage das Nguyen exited to the right. He went out to left stage and starts singing Billy Jean to two elderly women. They seem to enjoy this a lot, mid song, Nguyen comes out.
I know that Nguyen has got this in the bag because I remember that he was a good breakdancer/dancer, and that he knew how to dance like Michael Jackson, so he starts his dance. Seal leaves stage left. Nguyen starts going at it and I start cheering for him very loudly again. He is doing very well and the crowd loves him. He ends up coming down the stairs on the left of the stage and running through the second aisle all the way to the right side, and exits stage right. I start applauding very loudly as the crowd went wild. It turned out that I was lying down in the second row, and my mom was sitting behind me. She was applauding as well. I look up at the stage, eager to hear the results, but that didn't happen, and everyone starts to clear out. I turn back to my mom saying that Nguyen is probably going to win, based on his performance. She said he already had it in the bag from the first performance. I turn and look at her again, and she is shaving her head.
I am sitting right next to her and she is shaving her head with a portable shaver, and I start to say that this isn't the time or place for that. She just starts to ask me where she still has hair left so that she can shave it all off. We are now situated on the left side of the auditorium in the first row, and our row of seats are parallel with the left wall. My sister is now there also. They start talking about how we already had plans with my Aunty and Grandparents to meet up and go to some sort of mansion and that they texted me the details. I tell them I had no idea and that I couldn't go. We apparently are not staying in the same place or hotel and they, in fact, are visiting me while I am on TDY. They started to complain about how that was so like me to do that. My sister starts trying to guilt trip me. I keep saying the same. Then I transport to my hotel, which seems a lot like the one that other friends stayed at during my TDY to Norway.
I end up back at another building with a few friends. They are talking to me about something, I can't remember. It seems that we all were going to the chow hall, and then to another building that is further away to report in for room inspections and/or to get permission to leave base. The buildings now don't seem hotel like at all, and they look more like dorms. We are traveling for quite a distance when we decide that we do not need to get permission to leave base and we make our way to the front gate. There we meet a few more of my coworkers and there is a bus that is going somewhere. They say that they are going to leave base too, so we all get on the bus, and that is the last of the dream that I remember.
~~
Dream Fragment. It was a dream about a small village. I was in a family where we were for some reason framed for the murder of a few members of another family. Before that, we all lived and did our work out of a barber shop that entertained to girls trying to get haircuts similar to Fabbio's. Eventually, one of the girl members of the family (who was very manly) fell in love and wanted to become more feminine. After the framing of the murder, she became more feminine and went from short black hair to long red hair.
The family next door owned a restaraunt, a.nd we all went over there to eat. It turns out that one of the people that we were framed for the murder of was in their family. They pretended as if they didn't care, but really, all of the food they tried to serve us was either poisoned or crawling with insects. At this point, it seemed that I knew this story, which means that I was semi-lucid at the time. I knew the scenario, so before my family members even took a drink of the orange juice they gave us, I smacked down the glass, and it turned out that there were worms in it. We were chased out of the restaraunt by the family, and they cursed at us and screamed.
We were then outside when the group of village elders started to gather a rather large mob to drive us out of town. I can't remember anything after that.

I was at my jet and crewing it for another dream. One of the chalks was small and green, which is odd. Logan was trying to teach me how to do launch and recovery of the jet, but I already knew how. He also asked me if I cleaned my wheels or not before the pilots came out.

I was lucid in a dream and went all through houses and teleported through them. Met disney characters and It was day/night time. I passed through many different houses and mansions. I also ended up going down a large ocean with many weird sea creatures in it. There were also floating islands that were objects, such as large toys, food, etc.

The whole world is going into chaos and everyone is trying to save their own ass obviously and when I get a sign from this girl to go to this mall to find a way to save myself and my mother who was with me. When we get to the mall I remember that all the money was cut off from us so all the money you really had was all that you had on you on that very moment. I remember I had to find a information desk that sold crystals for some reason and after I found it the girl at the desk advised me that I am going to need a key which she gives me while my mom is buying crystals for $2.50 which I didnt question her because it was her money. After I got the key the girl at the reception desk gets a call on her cell phone and is speaking with some guy who is telling her that if she still has the key that she is going to need it to embark on this ship or plane I was really not sure but in the middle of the conversation the guy tells her that we have to hurry because they started embarking already and we were going to be left behind. Once I heard that I started recruiting my friends in the mall that we went to for some reason because I say we are going to need them just incase the ship or plane leaves us. I remember that the girl said we needed a bowler then I remember seeing a bowling alley and saying hold on I got this and pulled out a friend of mine who was bowling because he was spending his last minutes on earth doing what he loves. After I saw him I told him about the ship and he was surprised and ran with me right away and then I caught up with the others who were just a bit more in front of me. After we all get together and were running and everyone is watching us there comes this black security lady showing us a badge who is telling us "are you registered with some agency" I respond yes and then they take us down this secret hallway that was in the mall into a parking lot. Then the security lady gives me some instructions to following and then I get into a car and start halling ass down the turnpike towards the destination. Right before we go to the car I remember that the security lady told a girl in the group of 4 that we were that she was not authorized and was dismissed by some other security guards but it wasnt my mom so im guessing it was the crystal lady but not sure why. I regain memory when I get a minor dejavu on the turnpike because I remember seeing a oil tanker that is usually holding gasoline break down in front of me and I almost hit it and then like 3 minutes later I see it happening and everyones like how did you avoid that and I just told them reflexes. Then we arrive at a destination at a house whose the person name is Powers but then out of nowhere a huge 18 wheeler comes out barging into the road and crashing all these cars out of the way and I started following it. Woke up

Dream recall from today"s WBTB/nap.

Dream 1:

I was playing creeper world 3, custom level. Started in top right and there was apparently some sort of enemy base near the bottom left corner of the map which was connected through rotated S-like way to start. There were also creeper emitters all around and bunch of stuff to the right of the base. I've started progressing and apparently had to fight enemy forces like an RTS, as well as creeper, which was apparently controlling those enemy forces. I've managed to clear enemy base using turrets and destroy specific building, which freed the base and gave all it's units to me. I've built two artillery cannons, one on charger, and easily cleared up the remaining part of the map.

Dream 2:

I was playing SK with some T3 newbie, we have reached some dark purple place with obelisks that was apparently newly added place to arcade which allowed to access danger missions from arcade runs. Also custom models were added and my player model was a black dragon. We decided to do Compound 42 but i forgot to change equips which were weaker versions of fire breath and fire ball that i was leveling up for upgrading. I've left to change equips and we decided to restart mission from mission menu.
Then i wake up and feel that i am dreaming. I stabilize and go to balcony door, i try to phase through it but something goes wrong and i get outside of the place's boundaries into the void in some glitchy state. I try to get out but then i wake up again, or rather, get awaken by somebody, i still feel that i am dreaming and i go to try again with balcony door. Halfway towards it i wake up again, bed is in wrong position and i feel that i am dreaming, movement is glitchy but i manage to get up eventually. I look around for portals and then i just decide to teleport by going through the wall. It works and as i go through wall view kinda gets pixelated for a bit with white pixels forming squares. Then i find myself falling through some large dark tube, i glide with my wings to the bottom and there seems to be exit to the side, but i wake up before i can look into it

non lucid
*I thought about how dalai lama never gives up teaching because meditation is the true from of happiness.
*Ask a girl to watch my bicycle. I said to her this can be your bike friend and she started laughing.
*Took a shit in a bathtub that seemed to go on forever.
*Took a shit in a kid toilet.

First dream was pretty long, sadly can't remember most of it.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some lab, kinda like scientist, and i was searching something specific. Lab looked kinda old-ish but had multiple floors, alot of tech and teleporters. Then there was something about experiments and then some agents came and were interrupting us, one of them had ability related to ice. Then there was problem with our leader so we were trying to figure it out.

Dream 2:

There was a story about a soldier returning from the war only to find out that government did changed and does bad things. There was some religious announcer shouting things on the street. Then soldier started talking to mayor about this and while talking noticed ice in one of houses, which he thought was left by an hiding enemy, he found a nice looking sword in the house.

I'm reading a book, but I don't know if I was the one who wrote it or not. It's about this guy in Alaska who's writing to his daughter in an email. Every now and then the letter breaks off to show what's happening with his daughter. I distinctly remember reading about her being in an alley about to be killed. At the end the guy gets really mad because he never heard from her again--he doesn't know that she was killed.

[Clearly, my brain ripped this one from Family Guy.]

Once i again, i was to lazy to actually record / write down the details before i stood up from bed. So i just remember fragments / summary of the dream.
I was thinking "i would be much better to reenter the dream and get lucid than to remember it right", so irritating.

Anyways, i was in my house, i don't know what has happened, but i was all changed around (maybe it was just dream distortion). We were waiting for a boat / submarine to take us somewhere.
The submarine arrived and i climbed on board, it was pretty small and had the ability to open half up for like sightseeing or entry. It was almost like a boat in this "mode", i remember talking to the captain and thinking about who i wanted to take along.
The only one who needed to come was the young daughter of a old man i was living with in my house. The daughter was late, so i had plenty of time figuring out who else to bring. I think i brought my cousin, and his stepbrother, my uncle and was planning to pick up another friend from another part of the "world". I remember talking with the other passengers about this last person, they where saying they hoped he wasn't in to much of a party mood. Because it would have been annoying.

Finally the girl arrived, and the father payed the captain for her ticket. The weird thing was, that when he gave the captain his coin, a kind of dragged a graph of the world in another way. I became instantly night, and he just smiled in a weird way.

I don't remember what setting the dream began in, but i remember the girl being very mad at me. I encountered her several times, and all the times she was really pissed off, but i kept my cool and tought "she probably thinks i am some kind of asshole or something, i am sure she will change her mind if i just show her its not true". So dispite not being interested in this girl at all, her negative attitude agains me made me show interest, and dedicate time to her.

I don't remember the rest of the dream in detail, but it was a very nice dream. Altough it was not the last dream before waking up, i get happy when i think about it.

Dream Fragment:
I'm racing and my car flips often. I go over a ramp and crash land. I'm with someone else that is racing.

Dream:
Megan M, is in trouble and so are her friends. Another group of girls want to beat them up. I call up Megan and she won't let me come over, as she's paranoid.

Some of Megan's friends are black.

It's night time and I'm walking near Ben F's house. I walk up to a window and knock. I see Megan peaking through the window and I keep repeating my name so she can let me in. She lets me inside. I look around and it's a very small apartment. I see a bed, couch and a TV. Megan is under the blankets with some of her friends on the couch. I see the bed and there's a person underneath the blankets but I can't see their face.

Four fragments... sigh.

First fragment:

My little cousin's birthday party.

Second fragment:

Sex dream.

Third fragment:

I couldn't drive cause I had a backpack on. I took it off and was able to drive normally.

Dream 1
I was with my ex-boss and we were shopping for vintage designer handbags. I saw what looked like a black hefty bag on the floor filled with vintage Gucci bags. I crawled on the floor and retrieved a beautiful blue vintage Gucci shoulder bag. I ran to show my ex-boss who turned around and told me that she was wearing that exact bag at this very moment except her handbag was 'authentic' and mine was a fake. Sure enough, she had the authentic Gucci handbag on her shoulder (she has always been jealous of me ).

Dream 2
I was fishing with my husband and the rest of our family and I was doing very well catching several fish. I remember how real it felt with the fish nibbling on the bait and me yanking the fishing pole to hook the fish and reel it in. Soon, we ran out of bait and started using anything available and the fish were still biting. We were still catching a lot of fish and I told my husband that the next time we go fishing I would like us to go by ourselves and spend the entire weekend with just us fishing (I have always loved to fish ).

Night before last:

I was at my tech school. It was time to get on the bus and go back to my hometown school. But there was something going on with my computer that made me want to stay longer. I was trying to save some document before I left.
My friend (A) came over and started pestering me that it was time to leave. (Note, he goes to the tech school with me in RL) I was frantically working on the computer. Normally (in RL) the bus leaves at 10:05. I can remember checking the clock in the computer screen and it was 10:07, so the bus had left and we were stuck there.
After I looked at the time, I began thinking... this is normally the type of situation that I dream about. I'm dreaming! But just as I could fully grasp lucidity, A morphed into that evil dream character and shot me in the head with a handgun. I woke up.

This morning.

I was outside of some school-related building. It wasn't my regular high school or my tech school, but there were a bunch of students from my class there, standing in a big crowd. Periodically, school buses would pull up and take a portion of the steadily shrinking group away.
I ran into the bully from my high school class and a couple of his cronies. (Yes, at my high school, there is a well known bully with a couple of "friends" that follow him and do his dirty work.)
As the people left, the bully and his friends stayed with me. They started harassing me with some generic insults, but after awhile they came off with this strange tone that they were actually friendly and I should talk to them. They started apologizing for all the things they do to kids around school, and started talking in a sincere, but relaxed way.
Even though they were clearly trying to be genuinely nice, I just had too many pent up feelings, and knew that as soon as everyone was gone except us, I was going to start a fight with them.
I was getting an odd mix of vibes. These were the bullies that I've grown up alongside in high school, and I've seen them hurt me and my friends quite a bit, but they were sincerely being nice right now. But no, I was too angry with them and I still had the intention of... oh wait, everyone's gone. Time to beat the crap out of these four. Whup, nope I woke up.

I really think that this dream says alot about me. The fact that (if there were no consequence) I would hurt someone who could be considered innocent. But dreams have a way of playing with emotions and personal limitations in that regard. No doubt, everyone has this dark side. Would I do this if I were in this situation... who knows.

There's this strange, vaguely canine creature with a head almost completely covered in bony ridges, giving the impression that it has a skull for a head. It changes shape, sometimes looking insect-like, a vast serpent thing with many legs, and very rarely, it takes the form of a woman. It serves a certain human man who found it on a cliff, and the first time it changes into a woman it freaks him out immensely - he's wondered if maybe the creature is actually a person under a curse, but he's not at all sure which is the true form. At the moment, he's thinking "(creature's name) is the answer" - the moment he thinks that, something else bursts into the room and the creature leaps up to fight it.

(Woke up. Back to sleep.)

A narrator of a play saying "Young Romeo spies the young witch Barathia in the woods, but..."

A person I know IRL is annoyed at me over a misunderstanding, and posting passive aggressive messages about it online. I wonder whether I should correct the misunderstanding or just leave it alone.

I'm standing on a street corner with someone, waiting for the light to change, when I see two people walking towards us, including that IRL person from the previous scene. The light changes just then, and I know I should probably wait for her to catch up, but I hurry across the street instead. I follow the guy I'm walking with down onto the railway tracks, and there's something I really enjoy about walking along the tracks at night. A train goes past.

Still walking with that same guy, we've reached the trailer where his mother lives. When he knocks on the door, this guy he dislikes answers, some bigot his mother's dated in the past, but last he knew it was over between them, he wasn't expecting him to be here. They say something to each other I can't hear, I can just tell the guy in the door looks angry, and then the guy I'd been walking with turns around and leaves. He's really upset. I tell him to come back with me, we can go spend the holiday at my mother's place, she'll like having us over. At one point he decides to go back and kick that guy out of his mother's house and I physically hold him back.

Dream 1:
Was at G.ma House again.... I seem to have a lot of dreams there... I had to go to school, but there was 3 thugs outside the house standing by their car waiting for me to come out. I missed the bus for school, because I couldn't leave the house and felt angry and confronted them. They just leave and I wonder how I'm going to get to school, so I barrow someone's car and begin to drive there.

Dream 2:
I'm in Japan and trying to get in contact with a person who i either know or is suppose to be helping me or something. I find her house and knock at the house, but some guy answers and says to come back at 2300. That's 11 O'clock he says. I recall thinking this guys an idiot and leave. I deceide to find some food while i wait, and go to a small strip mall with some restarants. One is an outdoor grill with tables set on a nice outdoor patio.
