non-lucid

Before I get to the lucid dream, here are some others I had from last night as well...

#1. I was dreaming I was playing for a professional basketball team. We then did this weird coin toss to determine which basket each team was to shoot in. I can remember the other team forgetting we were supposed to use the side baskets, leading to me being able to surprise them and drive down for a full court layup!

#2. mumble grumble... something about a sports stadium I can't understand over my voice recording from 4AM this morning

#3. I had a false awakening that I had woken up and turned off my .mp3 player. Then I actually woke up, recorded my dreams, and shut it off

Lucid: There was a bad dude in the gym where I was working out. I overheard that he had plans to murder someone! hnoez: I then returned home with the uneasy feeling he wouldn't be far behind. I decided the best course of action would be to grab my Benelli Super Black Eagle II (that is a hunting shotgun for those of you out there wondering) However, before I could get to the basement to grab it, the guy showed up! Yikes! However, I guess my fear caused me to become lucid, as at this moment I realized I was in the dream. My fear also had the nasty effect however of making me focus soley on the present situation... totally forgetting I could just change the scene if I wish... -_-

Anyways... I then just wished myself that my shotgun was there and lo and behold, it appeared right in front of me, all zipped nicely in its case. I removed the gun, then wished that I had some shells and poof! A couple rounds of ammo appeared in my hand. I then loaded my gun and moved in on the bad guy. I got the drop on him and told him to stay right there till the cops arrived. They then showed up and I can remember them handcuffing the bad guy and hauling him off to jail. However, by this point I had lost my lucidity and I can't remember really doing anything cool. :/

So I can't recall much of the start of this dream, but it remember two key moments. The first was I dream I'm in the car with my Dad in the old neighborhood we lived in. We're driving down a standard state 35 MPH road and then we turn right onto a residential street. The speed limit is now 55 MPH. This makes me very surprised, because residential roads are supposed to be 25...and this one is 55...very strange. I just hope the road doesn't have any kids living on it, or has a lot of traffic.

The next portion I recall(and I think all of this was one dream, but possibly two or three separate ones) I am rolling around Vice City with Tommy Vercetti in his car. I don't recall what he was driving, but I think it might've been a white Infernus(This is all stuff from the Grand Theft Auto franchise). Personally, the Infernus is my favorite GTA car because of its resemblance of the real life Lamborgini and its superior speed.

Now for the next part, where things escalate VERY quickly. I dream I'm hanging out with my friends, and we are being WILD as fuck. I can't recall any specific acts, but it was definitely out there. So, my devious little mind decides to take things to the next level.
"How about this?!" I say, before flinging my shlong out jokingly.
Everyone now stops dead where they are and look at me shamefully. Everyone is very grossed out and now leave. I realize I went a little too far, especially because two girls were there. So I now decide to repent for my stupidity and apologize. I find the two girls sitting with one another on a wooden picnic table by the water. A beautiful forest surrounds the glowing water, which it find to be very neat. I sit down, and the two girls barely acknowledge me.
"Hey, I uh, wanted to apologize for earlier," I begin. "That was really immature and out of place, so I'm sorry."
"It's alright," one of them says. "It was pretty big though..."
I'm now incredibly embarrassed that she say that. Not that it's an insult, but that it's just so awkward. Especially because the two girls are sisters IRL.
"Well...it's nothing special-"
"It's average I guess," she cuts me off.
The two of us now decide we should go hang out together in the forest. I quite enjoy the idea, and so we make our way in and wander around. We quickly come to like one another very much. So much in fact, I feel a temptation inside of me. I want her(if you catch my drift). I realize it's just the two of us, all alone here in the forest. No barriers to hold us back now. I know inside of me that I can't do this. It's disrespectful for me to do this outside of a marriage. Things then get even worse when we find a random bed sitting in the forest. A nice comfy bed with clean white sheets. Perfect for relaxing, sleeping, fucking... I look over to the girl, who I see is giving me a smirk. She wants the D...nothing more to say. We're both very confused about how a perfectly made and clean bed is out her like this though. However, I soon lose my shit and just straight up do what I must to get rid of the temptation...and I leave(Ha! GAAAAYYYY!) I'm now crossing a wooden bridge on the outside of the forest. It was pretty douchy to just leave that girl like that for no reason. I now see my good friend Paul and my other good friend Zaine's ex-girlfriend both walking towards me with looks of urgency in their eyes. Why this random pair of people?
"I heard you were hanging out with a girl one on one," Paul says. "You'd better not fall into temptation!"
Alex(the ex), looks very pissed and says,"Just go for it Angelo! Go have sex with her and get it out of the way!"
"Don't listen to her! Don't do it!" Paul rebuttles.
This fight continues on between the two until I soon awake. I take a moment to comprehend this as I lie awake in my bed, but it just doesn't come together. Oh why, mind?

Date: Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Emotion before Dreaming: Calm
Emotion after Dreaming: Calm
Thoughts: Calm down . . . clear your mind. . . .
Intended Technique: WILD (((please note that I was only practicing the WILD technique--I didn't think that anything would come out of it)))
Time Spent Sleeping: 9:00 PM - 12:00 AM

Please note that I DO NOT have any affiliation with the website-thing Second Life.

There is a particular character that I like to draw who I have named Mimi Mace--the girl on the far left is her. Please excuse my awful drawing skills. Anyway, she, Jasper, and I were all playing some sort of game that resembled one of the places in Second Life a bit. The only things that I can remember from the dream, though, are these:

1) all three of us were attending some college
2) we were gathering at Jasper's place--or we might have all lived together--and the "Second Life game" was on the XBox 360
3) Mimi's character was laying on a bench that was placed beside a clock tower in the game (or perhaps that was the dream world's real life, I dunno)

Just a cute little mention: Note that I'm pretty skeptical about a lotta stuff, but I just think it's kind of cool that Jasper dreamed of Mimi last night, too. XD

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some video game and there was something about villages and then we were traveling long distances through skies and found some leader dude and then there was something about HoMM3.

Dream 2:

I was playing doom, deathmatch vs some people and for it i've specially found pretty confusing level with alot of traps including many player activated ones. The level was split into two parts, bottom part with most rooms and player spawns and top part with switches, i was in top part. I was activating traps while everyone was fighting and then one of opponents have found me. I've used minigun and he was waaaaay too tough for some reason, at the same time i managed to dodge all his attacks and used shadows to confuse him, but then i accidentally fell to bottom part. I started running around and picking stuff up and there were mostly soulspheres, megaspheres and turbospheres, which looked different.
After some time teleporters activated and i've tried to use them to get back to top, but they were pretty confusing to navigate, i also was using minigun and supershotgun to get a few frags. Then i've remembered about some switch that can summon cyberdemons to the map but at the same time someone used one of trap switches which spammed the level with generic female characters that were not doing anything other than getting in the way of player attacks. Server started lagging so i used cleanup command then after some teleport navigation i was in some completely different place and i was trying to find way out.

Dream 3:

I was reading some kind of creature list and i was kind of watching as group of people with artifact weapons were trying to attack someone. Then i've found out that they were attacking a dragon and she had passive innate power due to which everyone was seeing her as different kind of creature, often scary for whoever was seeing, and only i was apparently able to see her true form of a dragon of light-blue color. Then i felt her pain, i focused my will and broke people's weapons apart with it(non-lucid dream control?), then dream faded out.

It worked, so I flew out the window! How come I use more logic when I’m dreaming than when I’m awake?

There were waterfalls, palaces, rivers, fields, people rushing about, everything was so detailed.

Dream recall from yesterday"s WBTB/nap.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was talking on dragon forums to one of my friends(I) and his profile avatar became very detailed and animated, almost like alive.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing Hellsinker and level had alot of objects that bumped character all over the screen when touched, which lead to some failing.

3rd person, Rumpelstiltskin visiting Belle in a dream, he's smiling and she's saying, "I know you, don't I?" She doesn't remember him, and when she wakes up from these dreams she usually doesn't remember dreaming them; even when she does, she believes he's just an imaginary character in her dream.

She wakes up, and for him that dream had been like taking a break; now it's back to business. He's creating a dream to send to someone else, a red-haired man; he creates it by narrating it out loud as he walks through the woods, following an image of Bae which is part of his own dream. Rumpelstiltskin can't enter the waking world himself right now, so he needs this man to act as a go-between for him; he doesn't bother meeting the man in his dreams directly, he just creates dreams in advance and leaves them behind as messages. Right now, Rumpelstiltskin's not happy with the go-between, he's screwed up one of the previous instructions, so he's making sure this dream will make him wake up crying. As he's narrating the dream and following Bae through the trees, I start hearing music, with the lyrics "After you forget."

it was like the hunger games, except their were two teems and each team tried to win immunity. there was some black guy on my team who said he wanted to kill tom (the cat from tom and jerry) and i got pissed cause i really liked that cat so i tried to kill him. then everyone else started trying to kill eachother


later in the dream i was at mrs. pallaris house exploring around. my mom was being very rude and i was intrigued by the corvette in the garage. the stick shift. was where the blinker control should have been. anyway i really wanted to go home so my sister and i realized we could just walk instead of complaining to my parents that they need to drive us home. somehow i end up in this foreign land with giants and suddenly a huge giant is picking me up trying to kill me. i dive into this room wehre everything is magnetic so he can't kil me cause bullets just get stuck in the air from the strong magnets along with knives. i cried and complained to everyone that iwas being hunted.

then his giant friend who was also an indian tried to expose me as some criminal. i just wanted to go home

NON-DREAM
DREAM
LUCID

I'm looking at my old toys in our closet. There are a lot of large fabric or felt books that are classified as history books. Two go from the 1860s to 2005, and another goes from 1995 to 2002. I also find two baby bibs in a cardboard box. I try one on, but it's too small, of course.

Later, I'm veiwing myself as I was at age four or five. My sister looks about two and a half years old. We're carrying animal toys that make sounds if you squeeze their heads. Also, we're in a grocery store. Every time my parents want to demonstrate the toy, they use my sister's. My sister has a puppy toy, and I have a monkey toy. When my younger self reaches the bakery aisle, my mom and I end up "in" the "flashback", and I tell her "When you want to demonstrate a toy, use both of ours, please."

Time travel is a recurring theme in my dreams. Also, none of the books, the bibs, or toys are real. My sister and I never owned toys like that. And I never made any felt or fabric history books. Also, nothing in the flashback actually happened. My parents never filmed home movies in stores. The only thing that was realistic was when I talked to my mom in the "past", and my younger self didn't look at me for one second. That's because you can't change the past.

Key:
Green = Dream
Blue = Lucid

The furthest back I can remember I was on my way to meet a recently deceased friend for lunch. I hadn't seen her in a while so I was kind of looking forward to it. I remember driving around and being rather confused as to where I was going. Then I started having a conversation with someone about how they had just lost the place they were living because the landlord found a small tent which was half full of "paraphernalia". He didn't go into what that entailed but the dream shifted to his memory at this point.

Apparently a handful of college kids were renting some this guy's garage/shed and had managed to make a big mess of things. There he was, screaming at them because it had been totally trashed but none of them actually knew why it had been so messed up. As he stormed off, one of the kids decided that they might as well clean up before they leave, and started to do so but somehow a fire started. The landlord came back screaming again, but didn't even notice the fire. One of the kids actually had to bust through a door with a fire extinguisher, almost hitting the landlord in the process, in order to get to the fire.

The fire had exposed a small hole that ran underneath part of the floor. A quick look inside revealed a ton of huge rats. But these weren't ordinary rats, they were sentient. They were also all sorts of different colors and sizes, as well as capable of speech. I remember playing with them and asking about their social hierarchy, they had no idea what I was talking about.

Then one of the kids got bit, and another told him he was going to get rabies. Understandably, he was freaking out, so I had to calm him down. I told him that rabies can infect any mammal, but not rodents such as rats, mice, squirrels, or rabbits. He insisted that he felt ill, and I explained to him that it was likely anxiety. I began to explain how I mitigate anxiety when I realized I was dreaming.

I immediately remembered that I needed to find some kids at halloween. I walked out of the garage and turned the corner expecting to find some. There I was walking down the hallway of a school. Kids were dressed up in costume and had apparently stuffed their backpacks with all sorts of treats and things they had gotten from each class.

I first summoned my connection to venom. Six sickly green glowing orbs appeared behind me, chained to my back. I focused the energy from them into my right hand and then concentrated on the concept of "candy" while an orb of venom energy formed in my palm. I then snapped my fingers and streams of energy lept from my hand and to the various backpacks and bags of the surrounding kids.

"Your candy is now all poisoned!" I yelled, followed by maniacal super-villain laughter. "I wouldn't eat that if I were you." I said to a passing young girl, who defiantly popped a piece in her mouth before immediately blanching, and falling over stone cold dead.

"I'm the only one who can consume the candy now!" I exclaimed, before outstretching my left hand, which I have engineered to absorb. Candy began flying through the air, at me, and flowing into the void vortex in the left palm. I often refer to this process as "eating" as it is consumption followed by becoming. Oddly, this wasn't going very fast, perhaps I'm just used to absorbing energy or one or two small things through my hand, because candy began to back up my throat, which caused me to pause and re-swallow said pieces. All the time, the kids are watching me with an odd fascination. They don't like that I've poisoned their candy, but the fact that it's all flying out of their bags and towards me is kind of cool to watch.

That wasn't working well enough, so I moved to tactic two, which I normally reserve for when I want to eat something large like an entire person. I grab my chest, dig my fingers into my sternum before tearing my chest open. I am now split open from my nose to my stomach as if I had a vertical mouth which extends that far. Indeed, the edges are lined with sharp teeth. Inside is nothing but the darkness of the void. Black tendrils spew forth from this void and physically grab the candy from the kids. This is a bit much, it freaks them all out, and they begin to run around in a panic.

After I've "eaten" all of the candy, I realized that I feel very strange. At first I'm confused because I'm immune to the effects of my own venom. As I stumble away, thinking, "I need to go home and lay down" a little kid who apparently wasn't scared by my antics says "you know! you shouldn't eat that much sugar at once."

Odd random fragment follows. I was being chased by a car with no front wheels. I also woke up way early and decided to stay in bed and rehearse the dream so that I could remember it. Woke up several times and had to remind myself that I wasn't allowed to modify my memory of it. Had other little fragments during their period, including a fight against another chimera but also alongside a few as well.

I was indoors and there quite a lot of people around the place. Some people come and started to fight anyone they could see, the place was turning into mayhem real quick. I stayed calm and collected and tried to steer clear of the fights. Eventually I was set upon by a thug and I let loose on the guy and pounded him out.

I was now in another area which seemed friendlier. I had a feeling that I couldn't be hurt cause it was a dream?

I'm outside at my primary school and I threw a grenade towards a tall and built guy. It went straight over his head. I walked off trying to make it look like it wasn't me who threw the grenade. I approached a chemist and was thinking of going inside, but the guy was onto me, I think he knew it was me. I ran away from him at a fast pace. I was having thoughts of, what if he was keeping a steady pace and I would run myself out of gas?.

I'm near Drew's house, where the drains are. I was looking for a hiding spot and saw some trees. I ran over to the trees and wasn't too happy with the spot, so I moved my whole body in where I felt hidden. A car approached the bush and I saw a car full of people. I think the driver was a female and she was pulling a face at me. She was copying the face I was pulling, cause I was unsure if she could actually see me. I asked if I could get in the car, and they were cool with it. I was in the back seat and looked out the window at the bush I was hiding behind. It looked like a terrible spot, cause I could see through it easily.

I was riding down the street, either on a bike or motorbike with lead singers from Blink 182 and the lead of Metallica. I said to everyone that all we needed was the drummer from Blink 182 (Travis Barker), and we all the band would be complete. I saw someone coming from the distance to join us, I think it was Travis. I started singing a Blink 182 song. The lead singer from Metallica, looked at me and shook his head. I don't think he liked their type of music.

Blink 182 - Tom, Travis and Mark

Metallica - James

I was now sliding on the ground, getting pushed by one of the Blink 182 singers (Tom Delong) while he was on his motorbike. I wasn't in control of the situation and was coming up to a red light, when Tom kept going straight through the light. Luckily the cars had seen what was happening in the distance and let us by.

I saw a police car going in the opposite direction as it passed us. I figured it would have done a U-turn and came back after us. I think we were getting chased by police now. Tom sped up and gave it all he had. I wasn't sure if we would be able to lose them, but I think we pulled away to some extent. I said to Tom that he could use me as bait so I could give him a free ride out of trouble. I don't think he was willing to do it, and I kept insisting.

I was a bit worried about the police taking the number plate down so we could get tracked down later. We were heading straight towards a gate which was closed, and was worried I would be hurt and wouldn't break through. As I went through it, I did it with ease. Tom dropped me off just passed the gates. I was looking around for a hiding spot, for when the police arrive. I noticed a bin which I was thinking of getting in.

Been thinking, this really is my last year I will have any good time for dreaming. After this I will be off to college where life will become much more hectic. I have even managed to be getting some very good sleep in as well. Been waking up every night multiple times after each REM cycle... just need to work on dreaming more! Man... makes me sad I haven't been at it when I have had so much opportunity. I must get back into it....

What made me think of this was that last night I had a pretty cool dream that was sparked simply from a video I watched before I went to bed. I had my laptop and was at the top of this huge tower. Well apparently I was inside Sonic Colors on the level Planet Wisp. This must have been from a speedrun I watched before I went to bed. I then watched as Sonic flew by for the speedrun before waking up. I need to get back to my recall, as when I can recall my dreams I seem to be able to re-enter them.

I really gotta get back to work..

I had a crazy, vivid dream last night!

I was in a prison, but they were telling us to go outside and get on a bus. I was a little worried because I had no shoes, just some weird flip-flops, but then I shrugged and didn't care much about it, since... well, I'd be inside the bus anyway.

Anyway, the bus was going really fast and it felt pretty dangerous, even though I was having lots of fun. When it finally stopped, my dad entered the bus and gave me some money. I told him I'd be back later. I left the bus and the guards of the prison were saying that I couldn't go too far because we'd leave soon. I told them to text me before they left and I'd be back. They were like "you don't have a phone, you were in prison" and I laughed at them and showed them my phone.

I started walking and I knew I had to find a guy from my high school. I entered a building, found myself in a corridor with a door. I opened it and I was outside again, but it was very foggy. I got ready for the cold temperature, but then I realised it was sand. A truck was coming my way and it was bringing more sand, so I went back to the building.

I went to the other way and found the guy I was looking for. He was at a table with other people. I sat down and felt really out of place (I was never friends with any of those people in real life). They said it was time to go to back to the prison, so we got up and went to the bus.

When I walked inside the bus, I found myself in the prison already. There was a girl there I only know online, but she was inside a stall. Her father (who I don't know, have never seen before in my life) was there too and he was crazy. He wanted to kill everybody and he had a knife on his hand. I managed to make him drop it with my awesome ninja skills, and then I threatened him with my spoon. He surrendered, but he was faking it. He almost took the knife again and I was shouting to the girl to come out of the stall or else I'd have to kill her father.

She finally left and they hugged. He agreed that he had done something bad, so he was locked into another stall. This stall had a hole on the floor, like a well, and he was left there. Since the crisis was over, I went back to my initial worry in the dream: my shoes. I decided to make new flip-flops for myself.

To this whole dream, I have one thing to say: wtf? It was VERY vivid, though...

Dream 1(fragment):

I was going near some buildings.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in some game and i was in some team, the game used kinda that VR/grid-like theme for levels. At first it was kinda race for best positions and then it continued as sort of RTS/TBS hybrid, we were building cannons and firing them at enemy bases. We were missing alot, but so were enemies and we were discussing plan and enemy weaknesses.
In the end we kinda just rushed enemy team and it was just an vs battle where each of us got some kind of power or something.
