non-lucid

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

(...) I'm at a hostel in an old factory brick building. There's an outbreak of some nasty disease which is killing a lot of people and we stay mostly indoors in self-quarantine, hoping for the best. But some people who get infected don't die and simply get very sick, lose their minds and become zombie-like, attacking everybody else. We keep moving to upper levels in the building, until we're barricated on the last one with access to a terrace. The food is becoming scarce. We're on the terrace trying to evaluate how are things outside. We don't see or hear anything for a long time. Maybe even the zombies are gone for good, we don't know.
That's when a van parks on the street in front and a lday comes out. She sees her and engages in conversation with us. Says she and others are looking for groups of survivors like us to join them in a place surrounded by high walls, where they want to start a community. She says there are still zombies out there, they are just weaker and more scattered, so it's ok if we get down and go with her, as long as we limit the time we stay outside. So we join the community. Groups of people keep flocking to it. They had planned a certain population, but the word seems to have passed on, and more people are still coming. This community is quite organized, there's equipment for our basic needs, we're somewhat safe inside the perimeter, with the occasional breach being quickly controlled, some people work on crafts, others cultivate food, others provide medical care. But at some point it starts collapsing due to excessive population, famine and sickness. I walk around the premise and I go check the "food area": there's only cactus and other plants we wouldn't normally eat and I can see most of it are plants that grow spontaneously but not abundantly and are also not very nutritious and will run out fast. I pass by the "medical area" and it's concerning the ammount of people who are sick and undernourished and nobody can help them, because there's no more drugs or possibility to treat them. And just by the side of this area is the morgue/cemetery and that's where things get really depressing. Due to the hopeless situation, people have decided not to bury the dead anymore, but to skin and cut the bodies and use their meat to feed the living. So this cemetery now resembles a slaughterhouse, there's even a kind of (dis)assembly line where the bodies go sequentially through the different stages: undressed, washed, skinned and chopped. I have the thought that this is very much the idea of a tibetan-buddhist charnel ground, but instead of the meat being fed to the vultures, it feeds other people. I am filled with an immense sadness. I wonder why. Is it the people dying? They've been dying for some time already. No, it's to see them dying and immediately becoming meat. It strips them from having had any meaningful existence, they become nobody, they are just heaps of flesh. People have done it to other beings for so long, now karma is doing its work.

Batman wrestler is on some spinning machine and his other wrestling buddies are spinning his around with pens (don't ask). looks like one of those things you see on a kids playground. He screams he has had enough but they keep spinning him. These wrestlers are reckless and are comedic. I did not have a dream body once again.

With mom, sister and brother in car. Sister asks mom for gas money since she is "paying for the trip". says it is $172. Mom gives her money but says that she doesn't see why she should since Hector is fine (the person who we visited). We drive. We see Jamal outside. He asks mom if he can work out his chest and shoulders today. Mom says no. Mom almost runs over my cousin Jamal. I give a "WTF" shocked face. Sister is talking crap to my brother. Brother is restraining himself. I give a one arm trapezius massage to my brother to calm him down.

Third person. Two guys sitting at a table with a crapload of weed, edibles included.

guy 1: NICE! -reaches for weed-

guy 2: NO! Boss said we have to sell our share before we even take any!

they end up smoking it.

i feel intoxicated in my third person view. Walls start to shift and i see faces in the wall. Although i already feel intoxicated without a body, i refuse to take the marijuana for unknown reasons.

i believe my body spawns here, and the guys disappear. I hear a voice with a strong presence talking to me about my decision and my life. He says something along the lines of "weed gives you good ideas, but you need to DO." i get this sudden urge of motivation and start doing a combination of front flips and cartwheels as he says, "GO FOR IT". I get so in the moment that i feel that i am about to tear from the adrenaline. I walk back to the house.

Recall was a bit iffy today. I think it was because I was too lazy to write down my dreams as soon as I woke up...

0100 - Something about fish?
0240 - There's a forum type website where they implemented a feature about sleep or dreaming. Some of the members commented on it and tested it and they added some of their suggestions to the features as well.

After waking up the second time, I tried to WILD but couldn't relax enough. Then I tried to just go to sleep, but I couldn't. :/ I stayed like this until I finally managed to WILD for a few minutes. It felt like my body was either floating up or sinking down.

0443 - As always, started in my bedroom. The bed was bigger than usual, and the room seemed emptier. My brother E was there, saying something or smirking (or both). I was lucid from the start, so I told my brother to get out of my room. I then turned to my balcony doors. I could see that the side railings were there, but not the balcony itself. That convinced me that I was dreaming (you can never be too sure). I'm unsure how I stabilized, but it was probably by saying "stability now" and "clarity now" like last time. This dream was definitely more vivid and real than the last two.

I leapt out of the balcony opening and tried to fly. It was wobbly and hard to control at first, but I managed. I flew for a while and the ground underneath me turned into a green landscape with trees and lakes and grass. I flew over a big lake and over/through some trees, and I saw them vividly. I then landed and tried to create fire, but nothing happened (I tried imagining the crackling of the fire and it winding around my arm, but nothing worked). I also talked to a random guy who was sitting on the grass. At some point during the dream I felt like I needed to go to the bathroom but since I was actually in bed, I didn't risk it. I eventually lost control and the dream turned into something parodying the opening of "the Suite Life of Zack and Cody" where I was the character the camera was following. As I approached another DC, however, I suddenly became aware of my body back in bed, and I woke up.

Tried WILD from 0633; eventually just slept from 9 to 11 (yikes!)

We saw some undeads rise from a lake, don't know where and told me if i didn't participate in this game then i would be stuck there or something like that.
So i participated in the game and, I changed into another person and had to reach the end of the game before this guy catches me and kills me.
I failed a couple of times but finally got to the end, the ending was that all the undeads turned into Indians and thanked me for turning them back into human.
After that i woke up

I remember that I would open the garage every single time to take out the garbage
Because it would be faster that way.
I threw out the garbage, turned around and saw a women get into one of them desert car, I didn't even know that we had one, and tried to run off with it.
I became lucid for a little bit and jumped behind the car and grabbed the car so that it wouldn't be able to escape and to my surprise, I was able to stop the car from not driving off when I expected to get dragged everywhere.
My brother was able to go into the house and quickly grab 2 shotguns for us.
Grabbed a gun and scared the women out of the car.
I lost my lucidity and don't know why but we shot her and took her into the house for some reason.
And I don't remember what happened after.

I Don't remember much about this one but I remember that we were watching this one movie
and it would turn you into a zombie then they'll go around and start killing people.
The moment the zombie bit you, you would turn into one right away.
It was kind of in a movie perspective where I'm just observing them getting turned.
it was weird but awesome at the same time because they wouldn't go for me

I was with some unrecognized friends at some theme park. The park was built on a cliffside over the ocean. (There was a high cliff leading from the ocean to the land that the park was on, then receding from the water there was another high cliff above the park, so the entire thing was built on a narrow strip of land between the cliffs.
The unnamed friends were debating what ride to go on, and most of the rides looked like they were for little kids, and didn't seem that exciting. One of my friends wanted to go on this thing called "Scream the Ride" that was basically this Halloween themed ride. Nobody else (including me) was thrilled by the idea, but nobody really argued with the idea either.
The ride drove on train tracks like a roller coaster, but didn't really have any big hills or go fast. The main focus was on the horror scenes on the ride. The ride was actually in some kind of theater setting where all of the zombies and vampires and what not that were built along the ride were looking like they were participating in putting on some play.
Also, only one of the ride's props was actually sort of scary. One of the things the train went past was a small kitten sitting on a table, and I was trying to figure out what was remotely scary about a Kitten. But it suddenly grew into this huge monster and made a loud noise. This not only scared me, but nearly everyone on the ride.
After the ride, I bought some that allowed me to take some elevator down the lower cliffside of the park to the ocean. When I got there, It turned out to be some sort of tropical aquatic safari. I began swimming alongside someone else who was explaining the different animals we were seeing. They explained that all of the animals in the park were confined by a huge net. They were also trained not to attack people.
I swam by a shark and a whale, though the whale was really small. The two were sort of hugging one another's underside with their fins, and rotating slowly. I also came across a large sea turtle and Jellyfish. The guide explained to me that the Jellyfish could not be trained because it didn't have a brain like other animals.
Because of this, the Jellyfish stung me on the hand. I swam back to shore yelling that I had been stung and that somebody please get the proper medical equipment ready. (Even though the sting didn't seem particularly serious)

Well I don't know. Not really an interesting dream from my point of view.

The dream started with me going through this maze of stairs and various "levels" that all resembled something you'd find at a mall. Escalators lead to long carpeted hallways with glass on either side. I made my way through all of this with two people that I don't know in real life. We finally came to stop in front of a large ship. It resembled an oil tanker, but there weren't any crates on top. Suddenly this second "thing" came out of the water next to it. I'd describe it as a futuristic submarine; it was as large as the tanker and had a very "organic" shape to it. It also had tons of these cybernetic "tentacles" coming out of it, that grabbed hold of the tanker. For some reason it seemed that ship was being controlled by some kind of government overlord, who now had complete control over every aspect of our infrastructure. I was paranoid they would listen into my conversation with my friends, so I ran away and started going back through everything that we had previously traversed through. I arrived at what could be considered the "lobby" of the mall area, although it kinda resembled a food court.

At this point I woke up and decided to get a drink. Once I got back into bed my next dream involved this guy who was some kind of criminal mastermind. This took place at the music school I go to. A friend and I managed to restrain him and keep him in a chair long enough for professors to come and help us. We called the police, and started carrying him outside. At some point though he tried to get something out of his pocket. I saw him do this and retrieved a phone. Thinking he was trying to signal something, I ran outside. As I did so, a huge rumbling noise started to shake the building. I shouted "Bomb!" and ran outside, thinking that if I could smash the phone it would stop the detonation. The criminal man shouted for me to stop and broke free from his restraints. He ran after me, but I had already put the phone in the street and had a car that was passing by run it over. As soon as the phone broke, the rumbling stopped. Then suddenly a flash came from behind us, and the school imploded into nothingness. I assume the bomb was set to blow whenever the phone stopped transmitting.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1:

I wake up in my room, bed is in different location near window and i take off headset, still hearing sound for a while, i jump and phase through window and then fly using my wings, then after a while i wake up.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was watching some anime and there was one character talking to a mayor of a town on the island, the mayor apparently sold his team to enemy to become mayor.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing hearthstone.

Dream 2(Fragments):

I was playing some UT2004 levels and there were some gimmicks to them and one of levels was some variation of DM-hyperblast with more green texturing theme and green beams around.

Dream 3(fragment):

I was chatting with someone.

..

Hach - I´m quite happy and I learned something.
I had a longish dream recall - but didn´t put anything down when I woke up in between dreams then unfortunately.
And the whole dream is gone now.
But what I still have is being astonished, that "everything worked".
I´ve opened a thread about my hassles with getting something achieved in dreams - and a hint, I might produce this in accordance with some feeling stuck iwl - naja - it seems I got something achieved - but don´t ask me what..lol

But this time - I followed the advice to get up, drink something, go to the loo and get a bit more awake in between and repeated mantras going back to bed then.

So - then I had a dream about a fictional work-place, where I started out the first day - having a really nice colleague who showed me around and with whom I shared a room at work for when there were shifts or late work.
I´ll leave out the details of the kind of work here - buuut - at one instance I was standing outside in the fictional city this was in - and - remembered, that this could be a dream.

I tried to look at my hands - which started out difficult - couldn´t raise them at first.
Then they were weird - blurry - and I tried to see more detail - and did, but then - unfortunately - I lost lucidity.

I will write down stuff in the next dream-break - it´s a shame - it was something nice I lost.
But I take this as a first micro-success!

DR 1:

I was with my friend, which I am not so sure who was, in a tram. Sun had been falling down over the horizon. Tram was full of people but unfortunately there was no driver. I asked some lady if she could hold my bottle of ice tea and me and my friend went to the driver's cabin. Then we decided we would have some fun and drive. I was first to drive. I was driving through city and when I came to some station there was another tram in front of ours. I didn't break enough and I bumped into the tram in front on which rear wind shield cracked into thousands of small pieces. After that someone obviously reported us to the police and they started to chase us. My friend was on a row to drive now. Sun has completely vanished over the horizon and outside was pretty much dark. We had been driving for a little more. We didn't know how to close the door so I had to search for the button for that my friend has found it on the right on a small panel. We continued driving. Driver's cabin was completely in dark so I tried to find a button to turn on the panel lighting. My friend got mad on that but I anyway did it. When we came to next station there was police waiting for us. I quickly got again into passengers' compartment and threw myself down on the floor. I started crawling between the people and in the end went outside the tram. After that I was following the tram tracks which started to form some unreasonable patterns and have some curves on which it's impossible to drive a tram like 90 degrees etc. The street was turning right. Then suddenly a tram passed next to me and went to the left where the tracks were leading into the hill which was covered with tall grass. Only the tracks were visible between all the grass. So I went following the tracks. It looked really unreal and there was nothing else around except the tall grass and tracks. I got to a small iron bridge and I crossed it over. I continued following the tracks. I got to some weird like a bridge which was constructed like of a spine of some huge being....and the ribs were pointing out of the spine lol. It was long as the horizon. There wasn't end. It suddenly pulled me I think and I ended up in some strange land which wasn't my country maybe neither earth. There were creatures who looked like people almost. And the chief offered me two forms I can look like. One I picked was a some tall big man. With a hair to his shoulders. And I started to look like that. All I can remember is that they liked me and I don't remember what happened after.

My dream started where I got into this argument with my Mum ~ I turned and ran up the stairs into my old room. I put the TV in front of the door on the stand so it'd take time for her to make it through. I then went to the window as I opened it, jumping out and running away from home.

I ran for quite a while, I do remember an extra bit now of going to a clothes shop to look for a disguise there. Trying to find clothes that I wouldn't normally wear. But then I saw Mum in the same shop, looking around for and asking questions if the people there had seen me. I ran outside, looking around at the other buildings. I came across what looked like a rundown building.

I entered, thinking it'd be the perfect place to hide. I found these people who said they knew a disguise when I told them I'd ran away from home. They showed me a row of mannequins, distracting me, and then injected something into me from behind. When I knocked out they put this machine (I'm not sure what it was) in front of me, it started to enter my body (So it wasn't solid at that point, now that I think about it ~ It was like a possession). I woke before it was completely inside of me though, the pain extreme, and it attacked me, trying to knock me out so it could finish the transfer!
