non-lucid

I remembered more dreams last night then I ever have in a single sleep session, which is really super awesome for me! so yaaay!

Now if I can just get lucid.


Dreaming within a dream, trying to escape dream!! Fragment. Induction Method attempted: MILD

I was dreaming that I was dreaming, and in this dream I was trapped! I don't know how or why, but I was trying to escape my dream, and could not find my way out. I tried to escape the dream several times (in my dream) and even tried to wake myself up, to no avail! These dream-within-dreams are very freaking confusing!!


Rodents, Wolves and Bears, OH MY Sunday august 25th 7:00 am Induction method attempted: WILD/WBTB

A FULL dream, huraaay!

My dad goes to town, and comes back with two pets for Mom. One of them is like a giant overgrown rat. I want to say it's closer to a guinea pig, but that doesn't feel right, even if it looked the same. The other pet was a strange creature; I don't know their name, but I think they are an Australian critter I know I've seen before on TV. It had grey-blue fur, long back legs, shorter front ones, a long tail and big ears. We named it Roosey because it hops around like a Kangaroo, though it is also capable of skittering around really fast. The other critter was never referred to by name in the dream; I'll call him Mouse. Mouse was round, fluffy, with brown fur.

My dream skips forward to that evening, after Dad brings home the pets. They are not kept in a cage though. Instead, they are able to roam free; we just have a wood divider separating the living room half of the house from the kitchen half of the house. This way, our dog Meatball can't get to them to eat them. I end up going into the living room for some reason, and the divider doesn't close all the way behind me; Mouse and Roosey come flying through it into the living room. I leap on top of Meatball, holding him down and call for help, because he is struggling like mad to get to the two critters.

Dad scolds me for letting the divider open like that, and then has me let the little guys outside to go to the bathroom. It is dark outside, and I need a flashlight. I get them, and take them outside; Mom and Dad warns me not to let them get too far away, Well.

As soon as the door opens, BOTH of them just run as fast as they can, waaay in the yard. I can't see them anymore because it's so dark. Mouse, with her waddling gait, comes into view; she's not quite as far away as Roosey. I scoop the lil' critter up, and start looking for Roosey; I'm about halfway into the yard by now. I can't find her at first, and then...THERE! I see her, but she is right next to a fox! I start to go after, but she hops away again. I decide I need help, so I turn around, heading back to the house. I get to the driveway, when I notice a large grey-white timberwolf sitting in the driveway, staring at me. Knowing they seldom attack humans and needing to get Mouse inside, I walk by. Then, right by the door, theres ANOTHER wolf. As I head up the stairs, the wolf tries to snatch Mouse from my hands. I yank away, its fangs grazing my hand. I throw open the door and dash inside.

Breathless I tell mom and dad about Roosey and the wolves and fox. Mom takes mouse, and examines my hand while Dad goes into their bedroom to get his rifle. Mom sighs, shaking her head. I'm only scratched; she's worried about Roosey. She tells me that it's messed up--Dad doesn't often get attached to these rodent type pets, like mice and stuff, but he's really bonded with Roosey, and now she's probably out there, hurt or worse. She says it's just not fair. I agree, looking out the window into the darkness. Then Dad comes out, rifle in hand, and I go outside with him to show him where Roosey is at.

WE go outside, and dad fires several shots into the air. THe wolves all dash away immediately; there wasn't just the two I saw, an entire PACK of them runs off. I lead dad to where Roosey is, and find her. But she's rolling around on her back, badly injured. I'm about to pick her up when I notice a bear at the edge of our yard (a very large brown-bear). I point out the bear to Dad--it hasn't noticed us yet. He takes aim with his Rifle, putting his fingers to his lips to make sure I stay quiet. But for some reason, he doesn't shoot. The bear looks up, and starts plodding towards us, and STILL Dad doesn't shoot the bear. I'm freaking out now, and I ask him what the heck to do, and he hands me a shotgun that he did NOT have when he came out. AND it's not the gun we have IRL, it's a double barrel shotgun. Dad is watching the bear, and I aim the gun. I ask, as it gets creepily close, if he wants me to shoot it. He doesn't answer. My fingers wrap around the trigger, but it's so sensitive that at my slightest touch, the gun goes off and misses the bear completely!

The bear stands up on his hind legs, roars, and then notices the same fox from earlier. It is skittering by him, and the bear claws him, shoving the animal in his mouth. Dad tells me the bear isn't interested in us, and tells me to grab Roosey. We start to head back into the house, and Roosey needs to get to the vet. The alarm wakes me up as we are crossing the yard.


Demonic Dog 10:00 am Fragment, INDUCTION method attempt: WILD/WBTB

Dad and I are in the house. He explains to me that our pet, Tori, is actually a demonic dog--even if she has not yet shown it. HE tells me that she will be used to do things, such as enter our world, if something isn't done about it. For some reason, he believes that I have to be the one to kill the dog. I don't want to do it, the thought saddens me deeply, but I go grab my survival knife that I keep in my room (for when we go camping or fishing). I hide the knife behind my back, and approach Tori. I hug her, give her kisses and pet her...and then I stab her twice in the chest, very quickly. I then carry Tori outside where I sit with her, holding her head in my lap, and apologize for having to do this to her, and for her being used by evil. I am crying at this point, watching her die. I wake up still feeling the intense emotions from the tail end of the dream fragment.


A Knight Beheaded Time unknown Induction Technique Attemted: WILD/WBTB

Another good vs. evil dream, with a bit of humor at the end. I'm in some strange area where all of the plant life is grey and dying. The trees are dead, the grass is dead and crumbly beneath my feet. There is an entire crowd of people around me, most dressed like modern day people, but there is one man, a knight in full silver colored armor. We are all enclosed in some giant fenced in area, which leads to some open arena-style place with two exits. We are being herded towards that arena place. Someone speaking from an unknown location, as if from some kind of loud-speakers, tells us that there are two men, one for each exit. One of the men is evil, the other is not. We are told that we have to choose which one is the evil person, and make our way through these shadowy-looking beings in the arena area, and kill him. If we choose correctly, we can all go home. If we choose the wrong person, our world will be in grave danger.

The knight steps up first; that's when I notice he is blind, wearing some kind of headband over his eyes. He leaps over the fence into the arena, drawing his sword. He immediately slashes at one of the creatures, killing it. Then he turns behind him, and slashes at the fence! One of the creatures laughs at him, and beheads the knight with long claws. His head sails over the fence, his body collapsing to the ground. The head then floats back into the arena, re-attaches itself to the knights body, and he closes his eyes and looks as if he's just gone to sleep! I wake up at this point.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing video game that looked like spiral knights, except that main character was a dragon.

Dream 2(fragments):

Was playing some FPS that at first looked like counter strike but then everyone started using stuff like laser cannons, rocket launchers and jetpacks, and then someone blew a hole in the wall and there was some kind of spiral knight style-ish place behind it, i think based on graveyard level from actual game.

Dream 3(fragments):

Was playing some video game and there was some level that used lots of metal textures.

I was at an outdoor Starbucks with Niki. I went up to order and the woman recognized me. She said, "I'm sorry but we've run out of the Mocha Cookie Crunch(or whatever drink it was)" which was what I normally would order. I was fine with that though because I was planning on ordering something different anyway. I told her I wanted a vanilla latte and a vanilla frappicino. She already had a cup with my name written on it like she knew what I was going to order. I was waiting for her to come back to the register to pay but she just looked at me and said, "okay?" asking if the order was correct. I said ok and went to sit down by Niki. We were sitting at small white table outside a gas station next to the coffee shop. There was a dead dog in the middle of the lot. It didn't seem weird at all. Just a dead dog that no one had gotten around to cleaning up yet. The woman came to me and handed us the drinks. I asked Niki if I should go up and ask the woman if I could pay her for the drinks. She looked at me with a serious expression and said, "Let me ask you this, Laura. Do you have wonderful dreams?" Taken off guard by this question, I tried to think of something insightful to say but all I came up with was, "sometimes."

One dream and three fragments... first, the dream.

I was at a mall and there was this guy hitting on me. I was not me, though, I was even wearing a dress. Anyway, I still knew that there was something off about me hooking up with a guy, so I thought it'd be better to leave. I was nice to him, but then I kinda freaked out when I noticed my dress was open (the zipper was on the right side and it wasn't exactly visible that it was open, but I could see it and I was really worried everyone else could too).

I was finally ready to leave and I had to pay for the parking. It was R$7, I got to the place where I had pay and the guy working there took my money, then he said it wasn't fair that I had to pay. So he gave me R$200. It was a very weird, illogical logic, but I was pretty happy with having more money, so I thanked him and left.

I went to this small, but pretty apartment. I started telling the people who were there about the guy hitting on me and about the money. At this point, I was definitely me. The people there were my friends (I think some of them were Glee cast members), but they didn't give a shit about my story, so I remember that I started making gestures with my hands while telling the story, so that I could get their attention. It worked a little.

We left the apartment and then my new dream theme started... zombies. We were on the street and we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by zombies. We got inside a red, kinda old car and one of the guys started driving. He was a bit slow and he kept turning where we told him NOT to, until he stopped the car in a very steep street. He opened the door and started freaking out because there were zombies in front of us. I pushed him back to the car and started driving myself.

I decided that moving forward wouldn't be good, so I went back. They freaked out and said that I shouldn't do that, but I ignored them. I was driving as fast as possible until I got to a park. I stopped the car and realised I had no idea where my parents were. I took my phone and tried to call them, but I couldn't get a signal.

Then, the zombies were there too. My friends started freaking out (it's pretty much all they did), and then I thought "I can do this, I've seen it a thousand times on The Walking Dead", so I managed to kill two zombies. It wasn't easy, but I did it. I told everybody to get back in the car and I started driving fast again. We finally found a place that looked like a bunker. We got inside and the person who was living there was considering whether or not she'd let us stay. One of my friends, who was suddenly Paris Hilton, took her clothes off and offered them to the woman... and the woman was actually very interested in Paris Hilton's clothes, so it worked.

That's right, a naked Paris Hilton helped me stay alive in my zombie dream.

Two of the fragments are similar.

First one, I was in a room, it was pretty much empty and a bit dark. I knew we were underground and a girl I know (we went to the same uni, but we never studied together... she lived with one of my classmates) was also there. Then, people started entering the room and everybody was happy about killing some zombies. I hugged the girl and she was hesitant. She said she knew I'd break her heart and I said I'd never do that. She said she would think about giving me a chance.

The second fragment, I was in a café, it was a very cheap place. The same girl was there, but this time she was the one hitting on me and saying she wanted to be with me. I said that sure, we could date, so we held hands.

Third fragment, I got my parents the first season of The Walking Dead (in real life), but some of the subtitles go wrong halfway through the episode. In the fragment, I was helping them get the subtitles fixed for an episode.

Napping on the couch during the night: A nightmare of the vague, unseen, menacing, I'd-call-it-demonic-except-the-demons-in-this-dream-are-on-my-side variety starts to take hold. Since I think of this as associated with darkness, I summon 'the golden light of Apollo' which lights me up from inside for a moment and this does the trick, but Amon and the other demons around me look rather hurt/betrayed that I would do such a thing, calling on some light god instead of relying on them.

Fragments from 8 and 10:19 wakeups, having gone to bed at 7 am:

A man with a phobia of the upper class he's trying to join; the name Benjamin.

An immortal man offering another a light for his cigarette and saying "Here. Rachel's mother couldn't stand (this brand), could she? Now it's the scent of (a three-syllable name of a town in China, a place associated with another woman)."

My new wife, Julia, has drawn me away from my potion-brewing for the night, and as I carry her up the tower steps to her bedroom, she quotes, "And it was better that the beloved behold the tainted cities of Mephisto dreaming."

(Woke up at 10:19, and shortly afterward my neighbor started to play the drums. After half an hour I called him. Back to bed at 11, though I didn't get back to sleep for at least another 20 minutes.)

I'm riding in a car with my IRL sisters, and I notice that I can see the grand houses we're driving past even though my eyes are closed. I keep them closed for a while to be sure of it. I suspect I'm dreaming. I take out my sketchpad and start drawing what I see with my eyes closed - the inside of the car, I considered drawing the scenery but better to go with something that isn't passing so fast - but I find that although I can see both car interior and sketchpad, my drawing isn't enough to prove anything. We stop at a hotel and I've run out of drawing paper, and I go through an old sketchbook and find it's full of paintings from Shadow Hearts.

Dream briefly switches to Shadow Hearts scenes featuring two Alices, one 'real', the other either dead or the result of time travel shenanigans or a figment of Yuri's mind or some combination of the above. It's this potentially imaginary Alice who more closely resembles the version from the game.

Back to the hotel - my father's current IRL girlfriend comes to the hotel room to tell me to hurry up, Dad's in the car and waiting. I'm surprised since I thought I was the one waiting, all I have to do is stick my sketchpad back in my backpack and I'm good to go - but no, I see my sisters are already at the door too. My bad. I grab my things and go after them -

After I walk through that door there's a memory gap, but I wind up lucid, floating up and down through the levels of the hotel through a convenient octagonal hole in the floors leading up to a skylight. I stop floating around and look for a door to go through to change to a more interesting scene, but as I pass through the door I get a sense of danger, and immediately look for another door. I pass through a series of rooms this way, most of them halls filled with marble statues and skylights or balconies opening onto clear blue skies, but still with that sense of something wrong, until finally I open a door to a public bath filled with attractive people making out with each other. I have no particular desire to join in but it makes for pleasant scenery and the sense of danger is gone, so I strip and get into the water.

I seem to have gotten my timing wrong, most people are getting out of the water and getting dressed, but I'm not bothered by this. The doors on the far side of the baths are so large the view is almost entirely brilliant blue sky. Someone offers me a tab of acid, and I take one and offer one to another before handing the rest back to him, which he's surprised by. I wonder if it'll have any effect in a dream, and as I wonder this I decide to find a robe to put on. I remember the summoning-by-putting-your-hand-behind-you trick and decide to try summoning a robe - which doesn't work, but I walk past a stack of towels, and then a stack of clothes, and this seems to be the dream's response to my request. The clothes are slightly too large for me but I put them on anyway, listening to the conversations around me.

(Woke up just before 12:30. Resigned myself to a bit of sleep deprivation.)

Fragment 1
[2:00 A.M.]

I just remember asking “am I dreaming?” or something of the like and getting excited, then trying not to let the adrenaline get to me, but I was already waking up and forgetting the dream.

May have involved Inazuma Eleven?

Inspiration: I finished The Power of Creative Dreaming last night before bed, and it got me excited reading about becoming lucid and such even though I wasn’t planning on going for that yet. XP

Fragment 2
[6:41 A.M.]

All I remember is the old man from the ‘drowning will’ dream playing soccer.

Possible inspiration: Probably from thinking that the 2am dream involved Inazuma Eleven.

Couldn’t get back to sleep after that.

Notes:

Not the best night of sleep ever. ;^; It was hot, and my thoughts were going a little too crazy from all the stuff I’ve been reading on DV. I’m focusing on getting my recall back up and getting to bed at a decent time, but I can’t stop thinking of all these other things I want to learn. I figure it’ll settle down as long as I keep refocusing on what I need to work on now. And I need to remember that I can go down and turn the AC up when it’s that hot…

There was a bit about the apple seeds I'm (As of this time) growing on the porch; I have a few types and some are smaller than others. The dream talked about them.

___

I was Niko Bellic and I went into a police station where some people were executed and got money then thought something like "Should I be doing this?"

I was in my 80s Chevy Caprice Sedan and I parked it in a parking lot. I later drove it into a flooded area and then got out and pulled it from the tail end, Out while swimming backwards and up a ramp but it turned into a 50s car by this time.

___

A guy in an 80s Chevy Caprice 2-Door which was Red drove it fast and above the speed limit in roads similar to those around Pittsburgh; I don't recall the police much. He sometimes slammed into other cars with enough force to make it look like they were made out of styrofoam impregnated with helium and I was surprised that with all the damage the car sustained, it was still going. The car flipped and twirled around like a top some times and it was once in the wrong lane going backwards slamming into at least one car. Eventually the driver went into a garage and drove into a restroom and closed the door, Saying something like "Hello, What's this?"...

After that, He walked out of a Walmart restroom as a blond woman, Now being a transexual. There was a magazine about that sort of thing on display and as she now walked toward the exit another woman asked her if she was one to which she said yes and answered other questions, Then another woman asked more questions and apparently the trensexual was me because there was a question asked about one of my uncles to which I said yes but then said "I don't know if he's still alive".

___

I think there are other bits about a Walmart and they're not all clear now.

___

At another point I saw a bedroom and a man who I know managed to fit a (Small kid's toy version of a) 80s Chevy Caprice Station Wagon in to it and it was driven around until it got stuck in a corner. I'm wondering now why there was a wall between one section of the bedroom and a table.

Dream 1

I go to my local shop and I relaize that I have 3 paper rounds to do. I am not happy that I have to do 3, but I accept and say 'Yeah, I'll do it." The person who owns the shop pulls me to the side and says "You are a very hard worker, I heard your looking for a job at the moment is this true?"
"Yes" I say, expecting she was going to offer me the job.
"Where did you work before?"
"Wilkinsons." The conversation ended and I went to do the first set of papers. I literally remember delivering like 10 in the dream and getting thirsty so I decide to go home to get a drink. When I'm at home I look at the sheet of paper and the next place I'm delivering to is 'G.O.O.D Kid M.A.A.D City'

Dream 2

I'm am outside in like a pub or something. There are lots of tables everywhere and its night time. I notice on the table in front of me someone is drinking a drink called 'Lucid Dreaming'. Confused by this I pull the drink closer to me examining this drink and looking at the ingredients etc. I don't know what I was trying to find I was just curious. Then I decide its best to reality check now, it really did feel like real life. I do the nose plug and to my surprise I was dreaming. I think no messing about I want to go to space! I decide to fly straight up there, I go to take off get in the air a bit and feel the dream is unstable, so I land and decide to stabilize it.

I look closely at my hand, I look sat the palms, they seem much more wrinkly than usual and I examine them closely. I flip them other and my hands are looking weird. I look up from that and find something I can touch. Flowers it was, I done this in a previous lucid dream and it worked well. I chose this particular blue flower and started looking at it closely, it was only small, I felt the petals and it felt as you would a flower to expect. I finished stabilizing and decided I was ready.

I try to fly to space again, I jump in the air and fly as I usually would I get a few meters off the ground and I fall. I try a couple more times. Goddamn! Why isn't this working again! It happens every time I want to go space, I think. I imagined that space wasn't really that far in the sky and if I get speed I can reach it in a under a minute. I try hard to imagine it as I seem to be failing getting to space a lot! I notice there is a cliff edge a small run away from where I am standing. I think to myself, what I will do is run as fast as I can to it, gain a lot of speed jump off and fly to space from there. I begin to run as fast as I can, I am going very fast. I start getting closer to the edge and when I'm there I jump, I reach out like superman and I seem to fall again. This is the last I recall.

Dream 3

All my friends are coming on like some sort of road trip with me, we are going to like Cornwall in England but stopping at random places on the way. We are on the motorway and we decide it will be funny for me to get the skis out and hold onto the back of the car going down the motorway. I agree. So I get into the skis and I am holding on by a rope. We start driving down the straight going really fast, it must be about 80mph. This was quick, I just hoped I didn't fall off I was getting a rush from it. Then we come to a corner, still going quick we turn this corner, the car turns first then I go flying wide and hit the railings and crash. It doesn't hurt but I am lost. They have to carry on driving and they can't turn round and pick me up. I take off the skis. There was a small river next to these railings and round the edge was cocaine. I ignore it and jump over it. I decide to call my sister. I call her she was with my mum who was driving the car. I tell her to come back and pick me up I can't remember what she says. I am in some sort of abandoned town, I start walking and there is everyone. They were coming to stop the night here anyway.

The next thing I know, everyone is trying to jump from this one building to another because people are supposedly chasing after us. We put a log down to walk across but as I begin to walk across it falls down. Instead as the jump was only small I jump out and fall on belly as snow is there. I roll onto my side but keep rolling and fall off and have to start again.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was something about girl with psionic powers or something and some people tried to catch her, then there was fight on rooftops.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was at home and i had claw-like attachments on the foot that were apparently made from lego( ), and then i was playing a video game with SilentEternity. It was kinda sandbox game and unique thing about it was that it was controlled using... a pencil and a piece of paper, drawing something materialized it in game and removing something with eraser dealt damage to it. We were building some weird forts with weird physics applied to parts and then were fighting using eraser powers.

Dream 3:

At this point i wake up briefly and go for DEILD, i don't feel transition so i decide to risk and open my eyes, i immediately notice that placement of everything in room is apparently mirrored along the axis from door to balcony, it's also nighttime, but it's not as dark as for usually and also there are no lights outside.
I get up and go to balcony, dream destabilizes for a bit and i rub hands to stabilize. On balcony, i notice full moon straight ahead in the distance, pretty big and unusual, no wonder why it's less dark. And in the light, i notice something else in the distance, something flying. As i look more carefully i notice that it's a dragon. I immediately take off and fly, feeling my wings. Roughly halfway during the flight i strangely find myself back in my room, i fly through balcony doorway and in same direction, i see that dragon is still here. I find myself flying unusually quick this time, so i reach him pretty quickly. He appears to be black scaled. As i slow down and try to change trajectory to fly along... suddenly i find myself back in my room again, this time there's some kind of dark energy sphere which shortly transforms into a DC. He says something about time, which i can't hear well so i ask to repeat it but dream shortly fades out.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was chatting on skype with somebody(Probably SilentEternity).

Date: 25th Aug

Pre bed: Gingko, Q10, peppermint oil capsule

Total sleep time: 7 1/2 hrs

Dream quality and recall: Vivid, bright colors, some positive moments, some annoying ones, evading recall

Fragment: Some kind of reddish cliffs (similar to AF, but no water)

Fragment: We are in school and there is some activity all of us are participating in. There are mostly sweaters on the desks with numbers on each pile. Each student is assigned a number and we are supposed to take the pile with our number somewhere.

Dream: I meet my special friend and he is very friendly. We sit somewhere and he tells me all kinds of details about his life. Later on, I am at our old home and I can see him in the building in front of ours as he calls me on the phone. I pick up and my voice is barely coming out, I excuse myself but I know the reason is that I am feeling this strange way again...We arrange to meet.

I wake up super happy, but sleepy and decide I will just review in head instead of taking notes.

Dream: I am with my friend again. He is involved with an organization that brings poachers to the top of a hill, but the activity stops after they are discovered. There are no consequences for him. Later we are somewhere talking and he tells me he is working for some sort of zoo. I can't believe it! I actually think this must be fate that he is working for a zoo and I like animals so much. As he tells me about the zoo, I begin seeing images of animals, he says they have over a hundred pandas there and I reply that's impossible, then contemplate on the structure of the place.

We go in this place which has a classical history exhibition. There are huge statues of Greek gods and special effects in each hall. The two I remember are different type of rain that is falling down in the rooms, one next to a statue of Zeus. I worry about my hairstyle due to the rain. We continue our tour and my bf appears to my left. My friend is holding my hand and I wonder about this, he has a gf and we are very good friends in dreams. Three of us stop in a corridor and my friend makes some remarks about us that seem to make my bf jealous. He also comments on his temper. I didn't expect my friend to behave like this and move closer to my bf, each guy is separated by his own window frame.

Fragment: I am in front of grandma and bf's mom who looks like a mix of a teacher of mine and unknown people is recommending some dates for me to travel. I don't want to do this. There was something else as well, I can't remember. My classmate appears and makes a few jokes that improve my mood. Then we are all supposed to listen to the anthem but I couldn't care less. People disapprove of my behavior.

Dream: FA, I am journalling about the previous dream, trying to put the dates from the previous dream down, but the calendar is missing the dates. In the meantime, bf is behind me reading the journal and I feel a bit embarrassed.

Dream: Grandma is sleeping and I am sleeping on her, she changes positions, and I am careful not to wake her up. I have a look at her legs and think about how well she always looked. Then see some veins and other stuff and wonder about age. There is some sort transparent plastic bra/shirt that is filling with blood and I tell grandma who is now awake to take it off. My dad comes to help drain the blood off the device. It looks more like passata and we get into a discussion about what exactly is going on. We have to smell the stuff, now in a cup to confirm what it is, it smells like chicken broth.

LD: I am in my other grandma's kitchen and become lucid. There's a smart looking DC, blond hair, bright clothes, and I say a few words to him. My mind is kind of foggy as I can't remember any tasks I am supposed to be doing. I ask him for help with advanced TOTM and he looks pretty confident and starts walking around supposedly to show me what I should do. I can't remember the advanced task at all! I rely on him to tell me and he says something like "fire". Hmmm, I know there was something related to fire, but still can't remember, was it burn someone's house down or what? I am not sure I want to do this.

Anyways, I move to the next room, which exists only in dreams, it's full of brightly colored objects and number of DCs but I don't take a closer look. I finally remember I have to do the three step task for the competition. Phase. No, interact with DC, ok, already did that. Next one is phase, keep your eyes open. There is a wall but I don't want to go through it as I may end up in the void, so I decide to go through the glass door just next to it. The patterns on the door are such that one only vaguely sees the room and stuff behind it. Keep the eyes open, I remind myself and push forward. As I do, the blurred shapes behind the glass door become sharper in front of my eyes as I get in the room. Absolutely cool effect, I am thinking! I recall CL's enhancing dream vividness tech too, but am not sure how to proceed about it. The dream is quite vivid and stable anyways.

Now in the room, I see two Korean women reading a newspaper. I have a look at what's written there and think about how I am going to describe it. It looks like Korean, yet it isn't as the letters as different. I am beginning to feel exhausted, some sort of weakness plus heaviness in the head, so decide to move on. What was I supposed to do next? Advanced summon, I am thinking about summoning something extraordinary. I am looking out the window while I do this, see the skyline of some unknown city. The idea was to summon Angel Falls, but I feel like dream control is very hard in this place. Yet, the moment I think about the waterfall, right in front of my eyes and in the distance of the city appears a large structure of falling water. I concentrate on it and start manipulating it to make it Angel Falls but get something like a long protruding towards me half of a bridge and the water turns to shredded material that is waving in the wind in my direction.

I am still not sure whether that counts as advanced summon, so look in the other direction where there are yellow trees and see if I can make some special effects appear there. I almost zoom out of the room as I do that, but the dream seems to be fading away so I go back the way I entered and head to the living room. This place still has the layout of my grandma's place. As I go down the corridor, I hear a roar-like sound and think to self "Nooo", anticipating an unpleasant surprise. I cautiously approach the living room only to see an old slightly overweight Thai man trying to fall asleep on the couch. His wife is also there talking to him. He tells me something about me having eat to the fish he cooked and being offended. There's a small piece of fish next to a piece of carrot on the chair and I taste it, tastes like poached salmon. I then go into the kitchen thinking what to do now, having the impression this dream is generally very stable and control might be hard. I compare this to sivanson's cities in the astral and wonder if this is something similar where they might have imposed restrictions on gravity. The dream slowly fades.

I wake and rush to take notes.

Dream 1:

I was in a village; a tribal village. I walked around it's huts and stuff. It had a big fountain in the center of it that sort of looked like this:
I also remember being in third person and watching as 22 of the tribesmen from the village have spears thrown at them from out of nowhere. They all die right there, next to the fountain, with the spears coming out of their chests. That's the dream.

Dream 2:

I remember a prison complex.

8/25/2013, 9:30-6:00

Notes: I finished reading a book about body language before going to sleep last night.

Dream 1 :

I was in town, walking around thinking about open body language. I was correcting people who had closed body language in the park area in front of the funeral home, and in front of the general store. I walked from the park area to in front of the general store. I most remember this conversation some old guy in a suit was having with some young guy in a suit. The old guy had his arms and legs crossed, and I think his coat was buttoned. He was also facing the young guy directly. I went over to him and told him he had to keep open body language if he wanted to be friendly with people. I uncrossed his arms and legs and told him about keeping his palms up. The old guy just continued his conversation with the guy, barely noticing me. There was also a lot of dialogue I forgot in the dream.

Dream 2:

I was at the Malverne middle school across the street from the high school. I think there was like a rock and roll festival going on there. Many guitars were inside the school. Also, when I went outside on the auditorium side, it was raining and there was a GIANT guitar on the area in front of the auditorium. Someone came up to me and said it was raining, so the guitar didn't work. The person pulled a string to show this, and the guitar didn't make any noise. I was watching the guitar for a while until suddenly, a nuke went off! To the southwest, I saw a mushroom cloud of fire rise from the ground. It wasn't an iconic mushroom cloud. It had too wide of a base and not enough top area. It sort of looked like this:

After that, I ran back into the school, and the dream ended.

Dream 3:

A false awakening. I woke up in my bed in Malverne to my mom and dad talking in their room. My brother might have been there. That's all I remember.

Dream 4:
Another false awakening. This time, I woke up in a white house with white walls and everything pretty much white. When I got up, I remember my parents talking in their room again, wherever that was :/. I also remember saying something to them with an intercom next to my bed. Then, I got up and walked around for a while. That's all.

Dream 5:

I don't remember this one very much at all. I'm not even entirely sure it was a dream. I remember machinery: like gears and stuff; giant gears. I remember climbing up them and jumping and stuff up a mechanical tower.

I do sooo well remembering my dreams for over a week--and then twice in a row my recall dips. Oh well, it's just a phase, right? Here is my very small fragment that I didn't remember until I'd been up several hours, while outside with the family pet.

Saturday, August 24th, time unknown

I'm at home, in the house. It looks exactly the same, as far as I can recall, as it does in real life. I'm petting one of our dogs, Angel. Like in real life, she has this little tumor thing on the back of her neck. As I pet her, my fingers brush the tumor, and it starts squirting blood all over the place, drenching my face and hands. She is okay, not like bleeding to death, I just caused it to start squirting. It stops a few seconds later, but my face and neck is covered, and I'm feeling a bit grossed out and shocked. I run to the bathroom to clean my hands and neck, and I notice I have some of the blood in my mouth, and I'm holding up my tongue, looking in the mirror, trying to scrape it off the bottom of my tongue.

That's all I can remember of that dream. A strange one!

Dream 1(fragments):

I was watching a few yogscast minecraft videos, one of them was about some kind of pvp castle level and there were more weapons than usual minecraft.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some FPS, going through some indoor areas and there were some characters, later i was on rooftops, searching for path and jumping between them, and was complaining that skybox ceiling is too low.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was playing some shmup which was horizontal danmaku style, i was controlling spaceship and enemies were using some kind of abstract designs. Then there was boss fight.

Dream 4:

I was testing what apparently was some warcraft 3 level that was created by me and SilentEternity was helping. The map was coop in some castle and we were controlled some hero units and had to survive against waves of enemies with increasing difficulty. Enemies were some kind of mutants and enemy had hero unit as well, which was more powerful than our with SilentEternity heroes together, also there were some AI controlled ally units, but they were pretty weak. We ended up running our heroes around whole map and the play was interrupted by a few cutscenes where some dwarf with huge hammer was teleporting in and trying to attack the enemy hero. Then later on, another cutscene activated, but this time our heroes were together with dwarf, then cutscene screwed up because i apparently made an error in some script, so i had to go fix it.
After that we have switched to starcraft 2, another custom map which immediately started with some cutscene about heroes and some talk, when it ended the map itself started and it was pretty snowy. We started in south part and had three heroes under our control, one of which was some kind of assassin with a hood, cyan hair and a tatoo on one of arms, SilentEternity was curious about him. We moved north-west and reached river, i took control of some building that could produce some units including one unit that looked green dragon-like. After some scouting we have found out that there are three AI zerg bases on the map which we had to destroy, and they were expanding quickly, then suddenly SilentEternity had zerg base under his control as well so we started attacking enemy base to the north, then we found out about backdoor path to enemy bases through some mountains.
