non-lucid

Gray parts are not part of the dream.

Went to bed at 11:02, woke up at 6, wrote down a dream & tried WBTB. Then woke up at 10 or so? In any case, I got out of bed around 11 after writing down a bunch of stuff. Note: writing on paper works really well if I want to write full sentences.

First dream (recorded ~6 AM):
A (a friend from school's robotics team) is in this room with the rest of the "working class" people; he has a gaming system set up on his bed. The gaming setup was so that he could stick his gaming equipment under the bed once he was done, and someone else in the room made a remark about that. He was like "How do you like the setup?" and said I could stay over and play games or whatnot. I was like "Are you seriously asking me that? I'm just filling in for D (also friend from robotics team), I'm not actually him. My parents would never allow that ('cause I'm a girl)." And he was like "Oh, right."

I was in the room in the first place because I was apparently investigating something. I stuck my head around the corner of the doorway? to the room where the workers were. On the right, a few guys were talking on a few couches. They looked like - or I got the impression of - richer people/businessmen. On the left were the "working class" people (another impression). They were milling around the room, which was messy and filled with boxes & possibly included a kitchen. Further in the room was A and his bed, which was a low mattress w/ white spread and no pillows or blankets.

Second dream (recorded ~10 AM):

Map: towns with names like an rpg, one spot was something like "The Beast Awakens", or just Awakens (It's probably a different verb that I don't remember). A group of adventurers were passing through. A really bright, pulsing yellow light appeared on the screen (apparently I was playing my DS) when they got near a tiny yellow dot (which also appeared on the minimap as a big glowing light). Walking over the dot w/ the main character/ party leader? triggered a cutscene in which they met/talked with a female ghost/spirit, probably well known/revered/somehow important to the story.
The DS screen was cracked on the left side of the screen, and that part was darker than the rest of the screen. (Which did happen to my real DS, only it was never cracked and was eventually fixed). I had to move some of the menu (UI?) items out of the way so I could see the character on my screen better. At one point I had to turn the DS upside down because the character was going the other way and the whole thing flipped.

The plot(?) of the game was something like the party was accused of killing someone just because they were near the scene. The party also came upon a girl (possibly the spirit), dead and buried in the ground so deep only her head stuck out. An arrow stuck out at an angle in the dirt, and I assumed that it struck her chest and that was how she died. The person who killed her was actually one of the villagers. There was a scene where someone - a party member? = picked up her ear (she was decomposing :S ) to do something like talk to her. The dream ended with the party stealing a precious jewel from the village just because they were there and could do so (out of revenge?).

Another fragment was one in which I was a hawk or some giant bird and I flew up along the side of a building.

Third and final dream (recorded ~10AM):

Finally, I either dreamed or imagined that I had woken up during the night and wrote several pages in my DJ. I did not remember waking up at all (I think I read something in DV about this). Then I actually looked at my DJ, and only one entry was there. I was disappointed, because one of the entries - the last one - involved me trying WILD and a dream where I was struggling to control a car. It was unclear (in the DJ) whether I actually had a lucid dream or not. I got excited over that, but I had never actually written that in my DJ :/

10/9/2013

Dream 1:

I was in school, in a parking lot. I was starting a carnival in the parking lot. The parking lot wasn't real, and it was a pretty small one. I was doing it with N. S. There were only shops in the carnival. Three in total. I was very lazy towards the carnival and I completely neglected it. Barely anyone came to it. I then started walking around in a forested area near the parking lot. I then walked to the sidewalk and saw Ms. D., who was walking away from the school. I said hi to her, and walked toward the school. I then walked into the building and got to the third floor. I saw Ms. B and Mr. C, and Mr. Br. They, along with the school principal, Mr. R., were gathering in a room on that floor. I think the room was fictional, too.

Dream 2:

I was in a helicopter with a spec ops team. I was part of the team. We were sent to do a mission. When we landed, we eventually got to a rocky area with a natural arch. There was a Middle Eastern building next to it. We then went passed the arch, and fought some insurgents for Covenant technology. It was all purple.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1:

There was some story and i was observing it. Main character was visiting a mansion and there was festival going on and then some kind of virus got released which started transforming everyone into various anthro creatures, then some orgainsation attacked the mansion but anthro fox appeared and helped main character to escape from red cybernetic dogs.
They were going around the streets quickly and at one point they have briefly noticed a dragon in the distance. Then they have found some people from organisation and two red cyber-dogs combined and transformed into a cyborg person that looked like a scientist. Main char and anthro fox managed to escape again and now were jumping between lamp posts while talking. They decided to find dragons and ask them for help. Soon they have found one and asked him for help, he told them to follow him.
After a while of following they have reached an icy place near sea and there were alot of dragons of various sizes, main character noticed a blue dragon that looked familiar to him, he asked him and he said that he was in hiding the mansion.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some game that looked like Terraria except it was about dragons, we were in the jungle biome and were fighting ridiculously huge worm-like enemy(Bigger than anything in the game IWL, i'd say he had the width of 5 Destroyers and twice their length).

Dream 3(fragments):

I was at home and there was some talk then i was going to some place and there was some ad.

All I remember was that I was watching porn.

From now on, I'll try doing DJs before going back to sleep.

EDIT: I remember I was playing Outlast, except it wasn't Outlast, because I've never played Outlast.

I'm walking to school, but I'm not walking the way I usually would walk, if I was to go to school. I'm heading in the direction as if I was walking to the basketball stadium in my home town.
I see Matt H in the distance. I think about talking to him about an AFL (Australian Football League) team he barracks for, which I thought was Hawks, but in reality, he followers Demons. I decide not to talk to Matt and continue to jog passed him. I see Devon L in the distance, and I have a chat to him.

I'm in a backyard shed which looks like (Sarah H)'s house, with a handful of people. We are throwing a tennis ball to one another, until a male starts throwing them at full power at me. I figure I should do the exact same thing, and throw them as hard as I can.

I'm sitting outside at a table for lunch. I look around and see that there's a lot of people sitting around doing the same thing. I must be at school, but it's not school, it's Sarah's backyard. A guy comes up to me and mentions a few things to us upon leaving. He finishes off by saying that I'm a real good person, very nice. The guy dresses and looks like he would definitely listen to heavy metal music.

The table I'm sitting at, is full of females, apart from a guy that's next to me. I look in front of me and see a mystery box from KFC or Red Rooster. Inside is two chicken burgers with mayo and lettuce, and some chips. I figured that the mystery box was something you buy but not know exactly what burger you will receive. I hear two girls near me, talking about someone in the distance. Someone interrupts what they're saying, it's the person that they were talking about, but they were not here, it was just their voice that finished off their sentence. They said you're fat. The girls are in shock, and are wondering how they could have been overheard. I said someone may have been wearing a wire, that were sitting around this table. The two girls are now suspicious of an insider.
I begin to eat some of the burger and think of something funny to say. I say out loud, ''I'll tell you what.. this tastes like shit''. I'm not a fussy person, so I generally liked what I tasted. A moment of shock become upon me, I just realized I was eating something with gluten (I'm gluten free). I begin to pick the batter off the chicken, and leave the chips alone. It doesn't click for me, that the bread bun would contain gluten.

I'm walking to class through the IGA shopping center car park. I'm curious to where my friend Daryl is, as he's in my class. I look at a map on my ipod touch, of where he could be, with no luck. I see a car which has Daryl's family in it, so I walk over to greet them. Jane (his mother) was talking to him on the phone and knew I wanted to find him, so she passed the phone to me. I asked where he was, and he told me he was locked up in some kind of prison, due to him mentioning a few issues to someone. I don't think he was in trouble though.

I'm with Josh A and Graeme A.

Graeme looks at me strangely/awkward towards me, as I greet him.

I'm helping them do some vinyl laying. I mention that I haven't done vinyl laying in a long time and would probably have to be taught all over again.

I see Casey A.

I leave not long after with someone in a car.

I break in or break out of a house? I was with someone. We either got caught or told the owners of the house what had happened.

I see a car pull up into the drive way next to us. There was some females and males in the car that were probably around my age (26). We all greeted each other, and one of the girls found me attractive, and asked if I had a twin. At first I thought she was talking about the cat I had, that I was holding onto.

It starts to feel like it a party or a dancing competition, and I wasn't holding myself back from getting down and dancing. I was pulling off all the moves, feeling great.
I started to act drunk as I was doing a strange dance, where I would be dragging my head against the pavement.

I'm now in a dark room which had a DJ that has to pick out the best dancer here. I think I'm one of the finalists. I continue to dance and try taking this competition to another level. I'm feeling like the best dancer here, if not most flamboyant lol.

I'm in another room where I see an ex girlfriends friend (Jess K), and a female DJ. I hear Jess say something about nik fish (DJ Nik Fish), that was getting played in the room. I look towards where the DJ is, and have a peak at her monitor, as I haven't heard nik fish's music in quite some time. The DJ notices me peeking at her monitor and hands me something.

Nik Fish (Hardstyle Techno)

I awaken.

Dream fragment;
I have Izzy and Charlie (My cats) with me, so they could help me with something.

Charlie was out the backyard of my old house in blacks land, sleeping in a kennel.

I have been meaning to record numerous dream fragments over the past 6-months. If I had even one full-length dream, I would have posted it here. The best dream fragment I clearly recall:

I was in my living room with a baby bird on my finger. It was facing me and chirping an adorable melody. It looked like a (thin) miniature Robin. I walked around a little watching it intently. I remember feeling filled with joy. -Then I woke up.

One of my most vivid lucid dreams also featured a bird Super Lucid: Blackbird Flying

It was homecoming night and the school was holding their annual homecoming party up the street at my friend Brendan's house. My friend Auston wanted to go. He had a ticket and a suit. I had a coupon for a ticket which discouraged me from going (even though I was assured by several people that I would be able to get in) and I couldn't find my dress clothes which also discouraged me (despite being told that it was a casual event.) So, my friend decided to stay with me, bored. Eventually, he left me to go to the party. I was angry at how much fun he was having. So, even without my clothes or a real ticket, I went to the party and what do you know, I had fun! That' all I remember before I woke up.

Dream Meaning (IMO):
I am always finding reasons not to hang out with my friends. I always find some way to avoid going to the movies, or playing basketball. All I ever want my friends to do is sit around and play games with me. They are always bored, but I enjoy myself. My friends often leave me to go have real fun and this angers me, greatly. Now, to me, this dream is my sub-conscious brain's way of showing me the error of my ways. You see, while Auston was trying to encourage me to go and have fun, I continuously found excuses. After he eventually left me, for the first time ever (even if it was a dream) I went with him instead of sitting around in anger and I had a great time. From now on, I will try to actually do thing with my life and have fun. All thanks to my sub-conscious!

Dream 1(fragments):

Was playing some video game where stuff was happening in some city.

Dream 2:

I was in some futuristic building and i was with a group and we were searching something. There was alot of talk and we have found some information and weapons. Then we went to a mess hall and we started discussing about this place while waiting for food, and in the end figured out that we were in the future. Then we talked to some people around the place and checked out a big room made of sandstone.
Then we have reached huge cylindric metallic area with slightly purple walls. It was apparently a space port and there was a long set of ramps around it, leading out. I got quite tired while walking those but then i switched to quadruped stance and found out that it's much easier to move like that, and faster too. Upon exiting the area i've found out that we were in the park now(One that i visited often IWL), but alot of things were changed because future. We have followed one of the paths while enjoying natural scenery, there were also occasional people with rather big dogs on the way and for some reason dogs tried to stay away from me.
Soon we have reached abandoned stadium place, which actually changed the most, it was kind of different stadium now and upon entering it kinda generated small room with leafy textures and a few trees and we suddenly had minecraft bows. There were a few targets that we had to hit and there was also rather huge minecraft chicken that had actually same behavior as normal mc chicken. Then place kinda expanded and there were tropical trees and a sea.

Night before last: I dreamed I was in Louisiana for some reason in a place that didn't have a lot of dry land. In the dry spots, there were houses and a few old, rusted campers and vehicles. I had to swim and wade through neck-deep water to reach wherever it was I was going. I got to my destination and turned around to realize that the water I had just come through is full of alligators, and I'm lucky I didn't get eaten. Now I don't know how I'm going to get back.

New dream: Extremely vivid, though I can't recall much of it. I was visiting a distant cousin in Utah (never been there). Her home is next to a beautiful mountain. I stick my head out her back door and am wowed by what I see. There is no yard - just a gentle, treeless slope leading to the base of the mountain, which, although enormous, isn't too high to climb without equipment. It's not high enough to have a snow cap. It's partially covered in grass, and partially raw dirt with a few small rivulets where water has run down. It reminds me of the Scottish Highlands. Higher up, there are some large boulders and rocky ledges, but I see places where someone could hike around them. I tell my cousin that the next time I come visit, I'm going to walk right out her back door and see how high I can hike up there. Right now it's just beginning to snow a little. If I only I could snap a picture of this image in my mind and post it on the dream journal! There was so much vivid detail, and I remember it clearly.

Last night: Slept very fitfully, which helped me to recall lots of dreams and fragments. (Very tired this morning.) In one, I'm with my fiance in an unfamiliar street scene. It's night time in a very suburban environment containing eateries and grocery stores and such. The Rapture is coming at 11:55 p.m., and somehow we know it. We decide that we want to be having dinner when it occurs, but the only place open is something like a Chic-Fil-A. It's full of people expecting to be raptured, and you can't get inside. The drive-through is also full of cars. I tell my finace that I'm going to kill some time (I have no idea where or doing what) while we wait to see if the crowd dies down. I leave him there. We are both expecting to be raptured. Suddenly I'm back from wherever I went, and the crowd is almost completely gone. There are a few empty cars parked at odd angles, and my fiance is still there waiting for me. Did we miss it? I don't know what time it is now.

In a fragment, I'm in a rush to move to St. Louis. (Years ago in real life, I was in a rush to move from St. Louis to Houston after my job at the time unexpectedly transferred me and gave me less than a week to get set up.) My ex is with me for some reason and seems to be helping me move. I have to run, hurry, hurry! Oh my God where's my rent check? I'll need it as soon as I get there! I find it in a drawer, suddenly remembering that I prepared it in advance. I'm relieved that I had the forethought to do that.

In yet another dream, I'm in a home with lots of hardwood that I've never seen before, but it feels familiar in the dream as if I live there. Night time. It's a nice place, and the bright wood is well-varnished. A dream character that I've never met in real life but feels like a close friend in the dream comes in from outside through French doors that match the wood in the rest of the room. We've been somewhere together earlier in the evevning. He's complaining that almost no one showed up. There were 52 people invited, and if only they'd all turned out, it would have been something else. I don't know exactly what the event was, but I think it involved seeing a movie or attending a play. I'm getting ready for bed now, and I walk to the back of what must be the living room. The back half is actually a hospital room, and there's an old man in a hospital bed. Somehow he's my roommate in this fusion of hospital and residential home. He can't walk, and his feet are lost in a dark alcove built over part of the reclining bed that he's lying in. He asks me to help him check his foot. He tells me there's a small rechargeable light mounted on the wall just inside the alcove, and I pick it up to shine it on his foot for him, which he lifts up to see better. Parts of it are black. Other parts are oozing blood. It's about what he expected to see. Suddenly I feel a drop of blood land on my arm, and I'm quietly horrified. I move quickly to wipe it off with a nearby towel and hope that the man doesn't notice, as I'm afraid he'll be offended by this for some reason. I'm uncharacteristically rude with him, as I really don't want to be burdened by needs that would be better attended by the hospital staff.

*Something about korea.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

(...) I'm in the capital city, where some friends are gathering to go to some party. We are all dressed up at someone's house, waiting for a few others who are late. Someone asks me to go knock at some door on some nearby building to check if they're coming. Outside, I hear a loud noise above the buildings and planes start falling from the sky. Chaos ensues on the streets. Lights and almost everything electronic goes off. People are confused, but I can imagine either a nuclear bomb or the sun have caused an EMP, so I know this is probably only the beginning of our problems. Shit hit the fan!
I still go knock at my friends door, but she is not there. Instead, I find a guy, maybe her boyfriend, with her daughter. He asks if I can take care of the kid because he is scared and wants to leave, but I am already into survival mode and I am not going to take his responsibility in my hands. The clock is ticking and I have my own agenda. I tell him she will likely come back to get her daughter and he should wait for her.
Back to the first house, the group has decided to go look for answers. They found some van that is still working and will go to a nearby coal burning plant to find out why we don't have energy on the city. It's a silly plan, but I go with them. I see signs that some people are already stockpiling and looting, but most people are still unaware of what's going on and haven't freaked out yet.
Outside this industrial facility, there's a kind of worker's village that looks more like a ghost city, except for a crazy old lady that comes out of a house with a knife and tries to stab me. She is short and fat but she is like possessed and has imense strength. I have a hard time escaping her. The others start running each one in a different direction and I get lost from them. I hide in some bushes on the outskirts of this village and decide that it's time to go back home. I remember having learned that in a situation like this we should hide during the day and walk by night and I decide doing so. That's when I realize: I don't know how to guide through the stars, I don't have a compass, I don't even have something to stay warm at night, water and food. At the same time, I realize I'm just dreaming this, but the conclusion is still valid. If it were real, I wouldn't be prepared. I decide then that on waking up, will make arrangements to always be prepared with a kit for such kind of situations. Then I wake up.

Back to dream... I've reached the capital again. I have to cross it to head home. Not many people are outside, most have abandoned the city or are waiting indoors. There are some vandals on the streets, looting, destroying, but not yet picking up with the "good citizens", but there's tension in the air and they can become agressive towards us at any moment. A mother with his kid ask me if they can join me in getting out of the city. I'm not very proud of my attitude, but I say no, I want to be on my own, they'd be a burden.
Walking on the highway to home, I pass by a service station to pick up some water and maybe food. It's mostly deserted but a big guy appears suddenly, looking at me with hungry eyes. I put on my strong face and say "if you think I'm an innocent and helpless girl, think again." And I kick his ass with my flying ninja powers.
I eventually arrive to my hometown where I find my family and Riverstone. We're kind of safe there, we get organized, we establish a community and we even have a functioning vehicle. At some point later on, we need to go back to the city to get something important. The city is now a warzone. We camp discretely at some park and do our mission. But before we go back home, I tell Riverstone we're not far from Nighthawk's house and I wish to go try to find him. He says it's dangerous and chances are low, but I go anyway.
I do find him. He leads a small group of survivors on that area. He takes me to the top of an abandoned warehouse where we see everything around but we're out of sight. He grabs me by my waist and softly cuddles my bellybutton. It feels strangely sweet and hot. Then we hear commotion below us and we notice some bandits approaching with guns. We get to the ground and everything happens very fast. Riverstone appears and grabs my arm. Nighthawk pushes us away from there and then runs towards the danger. I shout for him to stop and come with us, but he is decided to delay the bandits. Riverstone takes me and the others to the vehicle and out of there. I cry for Nighthawk. I fear he might die to save us. But as we gain distance, I feel in my heart that he is still alive and that we will meet again.

The high rise
I'm high up in an unfinished high-rise, in a corner office. Two walls are all windows, and the windows in the corner of the room are open. There's a blue and white rope hanging outside the window. One end is tied up near the top of the building, and the other end is tied to a bar outside one of this office's windows. An older, more experienced man is in the room with me. He congratulates me on having the foresight to put the rope out there at an earlier stage of construction, since we'll need it now. He needs me to go outside, through the open window, and install a ventilation fan. I can use the rope to support myself so I don't fall.

This makes me very nervous; I had no idea I was going to have to do something like that. The rope itself makes me nervous. The knots at the top are very amateur work: the rope criss-crosses between a number of bars and is laced with all sorts of different knots; but just because it's a crazy mess doesn't mean it'll hold. The knot on the bar outside the window is another matter: it's small, elegant, and tough. I can't even reach it to untie it without reaching through the window, and I'm worried I won't be able to safely untie it.

Now I'm looking at a series of photos taken of the outside of the building. The first photo is the top of the building and is the oldest; subsequent photos are lower down and newer. Near the top, there's a huge mess of ropes and wires of all different colors. The wires stop fairly quickly, but a few of the ropes keep going. In the next few pictures, most of the building is obscured by a man and a woman kissing. The first shot shows the tops of their heads, and the next few shots show different parts of their faces.

Now I'm standing on the ground talking to people. The ground is hard-packed dirt with no grass in sight. Now I'm being driven somewhere. We're taking a shortcut from the construction site to a road near our destination. The shortcut is bumpy and narrow, but we make it to the road with no problems.

Now I'm in a fancy restaurant. I've just finished talking to someone in authority, and they agreed that since I was kidnapped, I'll automatically get 5 stars on every course I'm taking this semester. I think about how amazing this semester has been: first, to get in tuition-free, and now to get 5 stars in every class! I still have to attend class, but I won't have to take the finals.

I'm walking around in the back of the restaurant. Closer to the front, I can see diners, but back here the tables are empty. There's a mostly-circular depression near where I am that has more tables in it. The Maitre'd / Dean's podium is in the depression; he's the one who recorded my 5 star ratings for my classes.


The tower
I'm running along a road. I encounter a poorly drawn boy and cat. The boy tries to talk to me, but I don't have time.
I'm near a gate in a wall around a tower. A guard is just opening the gate. I punch him and get through the gate before he can stop me.

Now I'm climbing the tower. I'm playing on easy, so there's an open window not too far from me. Now I'm playing on hard, so there aren't any open windows on the tower, and I have to climb all the way to the top. I know that means I'll be winded when I get there, and that'll make the battles harder. I'm at the top of a ladder, climbing over the battlements at the top of the tower. On the inner wall, there's a small (2x2) platform a few feet up, with a larger platform above it, with an open window above the larger platform. I need to get into that window. Between the battlements an the inner wall are half a dozen tables filled with guards eating a meal. Most of them are simple guards; there are a few that look like jesters; and there are a couple of really tall guys.

I start to battle the regular guards and don't have too much trouble, even when the jesters join in. The tall guys are still finishing their meal, ignoring me. Now they've finally gotten tired of me and stand up, getting ready to join the battle. This is going to be ugly.

Now I've lifted one of the tall guys and I'm swinging him around, trying to get enough momentum to throw him off the tower. A guard gets in my way and messes up my swing; but I still manage to hit the tall guy's head against the guard's head, knocking him out.

Buying lunch
I'm at a grocery store with my wife. We're on the snack isle, getting crackers. She asks what I want for lunch, and I reply that I don't know, lunch is always the hardest meal of the day because my stomach never feels good for it. She says that I've been gaining weight, and I reply that I'd rather gain weight than have a sour stomach, since at least you can take action to lose weight, but you can't take action if your stomach feels bad.

Dream recall from today's WBTB/naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some kind of story with anime characters, main character found a chest in the form of a clock which he was trying to unlock but then some random pirates came and were asking how to unlock it, they tried using wrench but it didn"t worked, then i wake up stuck into some weird state where i feel different body or something like that for a few seconds and a bit of HH(Might have been FA but if so it was very seamless).

Dream 2:

I was running through some white passage with someone and we were chasing someone else, there was a dead end and i ended up setting it on massive fire along with the person who we were chasing. Then i said to a person who was with me "They did either burned to ashes or escaped"

Dream 3:

I was playing solid state survivor shmup and it was whole lot different, i was on 4th stage but it was in space instead and the boss was some spaceship that could split into 3 parts, which at least still retained color scheme. I've found some way to bullet cancel bullets into items/score by sacrificing bombs/life at certain times and was milking it for score.
