non-lucid

> I saw lots of seeds sprouting quite tall (IMHO) including an Avocado seed. This dream was nice as I've been working on growing some apple trees, From seed and have had some nice results so far over the last few months.

> I talked with an elderly woman who lives in a nearby house in waking life and I was standing in her house, Right inside the front door. I've never spoken to her that I remember in waking life before, This is not the first time something like this has happened; Another time, I dreamed I was speaking with another woman who lives in my same town and I was in her house too, I think sitting at a table.

> A man had a long number on the back of his hand, Near his knuckles

EDIT/UPDATE NOTE - One or more men were in the house too.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing video game, some variation of quake 4 or mod of it, i was exploring some dark complex building teaming up with other marines at some points and fighting with stroggs, at some point there was room with medic and tech and weapon upgrade, at that point AI became somewhat glitchy, also there was some BFG-style weapon.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was going through some level in another video game and then midway it turned into team fortress 2-like game, there was an ally AI controlled heavy that i had to defend through level which had really weak version of minigun, but on the other end i had a sniper rifle with high explosive ammo so all went fine. For enemies there were numerous scouts that were making bizarre faces(Almost GMod-level bizarre) and some snipers.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was helping some developer with video game, it was some kind of 3D shooter. We were going through level that looked like forest and were discussing ideas. Then we removed areas and objects, and added some different ones.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was in some video game with player class system, there was something going on on rooftops and some mod that added 'fireworks weapon', then i was talking with characters and there was something about dark place which everyone except me was scared about. I couldn't understand why they were scared so i went to that place. There were some abandoned corridors with set of invisible portals and potential of getting lost forever, i was almost stuck going back and forth through same two portals in one place by just moving forwards at one point. But in the end i navigated through somehow, found some entity, which looked like weird black and white colored semi-humanoid thing, and fought it. The fight was rather weird since i basically had to avoid the thing and it's world bending portal shenanigans for a while, then i ended winning and completing the level.

A truck pulled up outside of my house with two men in it. They both looked rough and redneck'ish. They said they were sent to cut my grass and I said "By who?"

"you're mother" they answered (sounds like something she would do)
1
I went inside to call her and suddenly they were on my porch. I open the door and one of the guys reaches in and grabs an xbox 360 that a friend had just dropped off and tries to walk out with it. I follow him and say "hey! what are you doing! I can call the police, ya know?"

he acts like he's having a migraine and starts freaking out. Says he's going to smash my head in with a brick and suddenly he's got a pitch fork. i think he was a marine that is having PSTD or something. I managed to push the pitch fork aside and kick him hard enough to put him down. Then his friend pulled out a gun and I woke up.
2
i'm at my old car lot packing up stuff. there's still pictures and stuff. We're taking them down. Suddenly I feel the presence of a ghost and it starts throwing those pictures off the wall at my brother. I said a prayer to get rid of it and woke up.

3
a family was at some type of weird candy carnival, (at some points they looked like normal people and other points they looked like the Simpsons) basically walking through this apartment building tasting different type of candies when they came upon this backroom with a window. Someone stopped them from eating the last of the candy suggesting it was poisoned somehow. They jump out the window and the whole place explodes, apparently someone wanted to kill as many people as they could inside.

4.
Was planning some vacation and packing my bags. Mom was bragging about how she and Nana had just taken my neice of a vacation by themselves and we should go too this time to see what it's like. Somehow I'll very upset by all this --I think it's because I got left out of the 1st trip... I've got this weird thing about being left out of stuff. Really boils my blood.

5.
Something about a little brother who couldn't have been older than 12 calling his 16 year old adopted sister "babe" and she started picking on him for it.

NOTES:
-My recall has become a heck of a lot better just in the last week. If you saw my dream journal just a few days before I found this website, it's basically just one or two dreams a night at the most, now I'm suddenly recalling 4 and 5 dreams a night.
-But my ability to WILD or even attempt to WILD has seemed to regress. Especially my morning attempts. I feel like I'm just laying there thinking. That's probably the problem (that i'm thinking when i shouldn't be) but I don't know how to keep my mind focused and still fall asleep, if I don't focus my mind i'll just fall asleep normally, but if I focus it too much, i won't fall asleep at all....

had a dream i was in a hotel high up above with some friends and we were blunt smoking with a bong in rotation. then i look out the window and towards the ground and i see a zoom in shot of all these cops shooting at cars. it seemed like it was real life and i was freaking out. out from the cars comes these giant men in yellow exterminator outfits with semi automatics shooting the cops down. they kill all the patrolman and then start making there way towards the hotel at which i point i start freaking out and get outta there.

later in the dream i went on a like smooth roaller coaster ride where you were in a single cart crusing through this mountain of candy... above the coaster were all thes hookah houses that you could grab and smoke while your riding, and the house would like travel with you until you let go. there wre all sorts of different flavors and they smoke tasted like candy

So basically this is a pretty strange dream I had last night. I am new here but like the idea of sharing dreams because I think dreams are easily the most profound experience someone can have. The dream started off in a wooded area and I was with my family. I had ingested a psychedelic drug but was ironically normal, even though I was in a dream. Things looked different, I could see faces within textures and stuff, but it was more dreamy than anything else. I do not use drugs anymore but could recall what it was like in this dream. Anyways, that isn't a important part to this story... I was with my family and I was sitting by my mom while she had her arms around me, I felt very safe in this moment. After that scene I was walking around more and out of nowhere a relative of mine who has had bad drug problems ran past me saying something like "try to catch me" or something to that effect. I started chasing after and then they went around the corner, when I got around the corner, she was in the backseat of a Cadillac and the front seat was full, no one in the backseat. Then the backseat area fills up with flames and this relative of mine gets incinerated. All I know is I just witnessed something terrible and needed to get out of there before I got killed myself, so I run off and I am pretty sure they are chasing me. Anyways some random woman I meet while I am running away decides to go with me (doesn't make sense, but it's a dream). We are running and then a guy with a gun is about to catch up so we hope a fence and there is a huge cliff with water on the other side, but me and this lady both decide to jump anyways. When we hit the water we must have jumped across a border because we are in another country. We swim to the shore and the guy sitting there with a rifle decides to let us in after hearing our story. It sort of blanks out and then further in this lady is now pregnant with what I guess is my kid. We now live in this country. We are going to some sort of play that is very very bizarre and the man that was trying to kill us shows up to the play. The play was about peace and I am hoping that the man realizes that we aren't bad people. He doesn't kill us because the play has a lot of people there. Afterwards he is sitting at a table and I ask him why he wants to kill us or something like that and he starts to answer but I wake up before he says anything I could recall.

I found an abandoned German Sheppard Puppy

I played an annoying minecraft PVP game that I didn't understand very well

1. I was in a flying car, or something along the lines of it.

2. This one is weird (another one of my nightmares). It was as if I had woke up from a dream, and I couldn't remember anything. Then my mom said "Your lucky to have survived in that!" I started asking questions and she said that I got shot by a crazy guy in a greenhouse.

Note: In waking life my mom is in medical school, working to become a nurse. The only reason I say this is because in the dream she did all her medical checkout stuff on me.

Dream 1

I was missing my last Geography lesson at school because I had gone swimming with my friends. I had just got changed to go into the swimming pool and the time was half 3, we were allocated 45 minute slots but my lesson started at 4. I then thought, oh well its summer soon he won't mind. I then proceeded to walk into the swimming pool.

I don't actually remember swimming but I walked out and I was doing drugs. In fact I was smoking heroin! However it was having no effect on me so I didn't actually care.

I was then at a prizegiving for the school I left a year ago, all the school leavers were there and awards were being given out.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was talking about some new games with somebody and then i was testing some pokemon game in debug mode, interesting thing about it was that there were conversations between player character and pokemons upon reaching certain levels that were not much related to game, and i thought that this addition was inspired by Fire Emblem: Awakening. I opened debug menu and could go through various conversations, browsing through the list i noticed that there were non-pokemon creatures in the game, also there were some dragons.
Finished with the test, i am back at my room, i walk towards door and while opening i notice my hand being weird, i count fingers and realize that i am dreaming, i am about to start transformation but dream fades out before i do much and i wake up.

Dream 2(fragments):

I am sitting in the bed, listening to something through headphones, suddenly sound gets distorted and i notice something is wrong with the cable, i break it somehow and sound gets even more distorted and similar to binaural beats i realize that i am dreaming but dream starts fading out already.

I was with two friends of mine (R/A) at a place.
I believe it's a place in the woods near an old football field at my home town when I was a kid. It doesn't exists anymore.
The conversation is getting more and more scientific. My friend A is using a tree leaf laid on the ground to prove some point of view.
I'm getting pissed because they're just ignoring me.
The scenario changes and I'm with a girl friend of mine (AV) hanging in some stairs.
Then a girl appears.
She's brunette with big eyes and long hairs. her face is blurry. She's wearing shorts.
We started flirting instantly. I'm getting fascinated by her.
(I know that this dream is much bigger. From now on there's A LOT of fragments I can't remember.) I'm at her house. Se has one younger and one older brother. Her father is there too.
They don't really like me.
I'm cooking for them now.
I know I spent a lot of time with her. We talked for ages.
It's raining a lot.
I live at the end of the street.
My mom, dad and some person I don't remember are sleeping there. They spent a lot of time at the Hospital for some reason I don't know.
I woke them and offered some bread and soup I made. They were really happy.

Blurry Award Night
I was at this really weird open air place at night. It so hard to describe.
An old acquaintance of mine (M.P) arrived and out of nowhere he started giving awards (!).
There was other people there. A friend of mine was there and started talking to me about being unemployed. He then told a joke and everyone laughed.

Weeding Party
I was at what looked like a wedding party at open air. Empty tables, lots of grass. It was really beautiful.
My mom and an aunt (A.) were there. They were cooking something we call russian salad.
I ask them why they're cooking since the party was already over! Apparently cooking the leftovers is the only way for the owners to count the remaining food for billing purposes (!).
I ask to a bartender if there is any croissant left. I'm having the impression I know this guy.
I believe it's a guy i knew (Yellow). He tells me to wait a second while he's going to check.
There's one from the day before and I still have to pay for it. I tell him I don't want it. He offers me for a big discount and I still don't want it. I ask if is everything good with him. We talk for a minute and I left.
I walk to a place with some bars and coffees. I entered and left some of them.
I was not alone. It's getting blurry.

Today i dreamt my mom was telling me i would have a new brother, then she was telling her
to the rest of the family and friends. After some weeks, the child was already 5 years old and a little
problematic, i felt i was like his dad and said to myself "So this is how my older brother saw me when i was
younger" and a smile came on my face, so i was in my room on pc, when i see him climbing the sitting room
closet, and i told him kinda furious "Are you crazy?! get out of there immediately you can hurt yourself and break
the closet aswell" and i wonder to myself "Should i really treat my brotherlike this? He would be mad at me"


Technique used for this dream: MILD
Sleep time: 6 hours

I went to a job interview. It was going to take place in a crowded conference room. I did not go in yet, but waited in a chair outside. When the boss in charge (who was male) came, both of us walked into the crowded conference room at once, making an entrance. While everyone was still settling, the man to my left started asking me questions about breastfeeding versus formula. One of his questions was like "will you be more likely to run out of milk or formula during a feeding?" And my response was "You do not understand. You give the baby as much food during a feeding as will satisfy the baby, no matter which food it is. And once you are done, you hope the baby is satisfied enough to not devour you." While I was just talking to the one man, when I stopped, I saw that everyone was listening. I said to them that while they may think this is too personal, but it is important for this job that we can be honest. So next everyone was asked how many cigarettes they have ever smoked, and I said none. But there was a counter that increased and every time I denied it, it increased more as if to suggest I was lying. And I got angry and exploded that it was the truth, and that this job would only work if there is trust.

Note: in reality I did in fact breast feed my kids, and it is true that I never smoked.

I saw a tall skyscraper in a dark city. Someone was told in a stern tone to leave immediately, and I knew this was "how the war started". I thought about "they" stood no chance against "them" as "they were too well hidden". Accompanying that thought, I saw flashes of some kind of bunker tucked away between some other military-looking structures out in the sticks (red rocky environment, reminiscent of Nevada).

I was running on the asphalt road next to my old home, towards the Renault garages that used to be there. The layout was a little different, it looked a little like a park I was running through as I approached our garage from the west (in reality there is nothing to the west, just buildings). Either way, I was running very fast. So fast, I couldn't possibly corner and turn south. I had to make an extraordinary effort to slow down first. Then I continued running south. An old man (on a bike?) passed me, heading norh. He mumbled something. "What did I do this time?" I asked out loud. "I said: good day!". I felt a little bad I thought he insulted me, when all he wanted was to say hi.

Monday 7/22/13

I went to bed at 8pm. Was just so tired from last 2 days not getting enough sleep. Had a bunch of dreams. Then finaly woke up from a nightmare.

Started out not so bad. Cops were chasing me and two others. Normally, this is fun, but tonight, I was scared and uncomfortable. i think I have done something really bad. So I'm running away up the sidestreet, while cops are on the main street. I'm hoping the will drive by and not notice us. I can barely walk, like walking in a tar. So i turn and walk backwards. This has usually helped and I'm making some progress.

Then we re running through some corridors. Now I know I have done something bad. A geman shepherd walks in front of me and flashlight he has attached to him illuminates the corridor with weak yellow light. I prod him with my assault rifle and even before i do it, I feel bad about it. But can't stop myself.

Then a booming voice echoes from the end we are running from. Something about "they are coming for us". I start to yell in panic and others come back for me, because I can barely walk again.

EDIT:
I watched tv for about an hour before going back to bed. Decided to say my mantra "next time I'm dreaming I realize I'm dreaming". And I also decided to add "when I see blue star, I realize I'm dreaming". There is something about visualizing blue star on the Yoga Nidra cd I practice. So I thought I add it as something new. Perhaps my mind will pay attention to it because it's new.

So as I'm reciting these two mantras, suddenly I hear mysef saying: "Next time Karl is not there I realize I'm dreaming". LOL I had to get up and write it down. Where it came from, I have no idea. I don't know any Karl.
