non-lucid

Sleep time: 9:00PM roughly first time, went back to bed at some time around 5:00AM, I didn't check the time Awake time: 6:00AM roughly.

I went back to sleep in the early morning, not expecting anything in particular but I had a LD!

1: I was in my Media classroom just working on random stuff. I can't remember exactly what but I know it was on the computer. I felt like I had been in the classroom for around 20 minutes-30 minutes, but I can't be certain. I was like this for a while, with nothing out of the ordinary happening except the position of things in the room was different. Out of the blue, I suddenly realized I was dreaming, so I did the hand check/finger through palm RC, and I became lucid. For some reason My eyesight became super dim, like my eyelids were closed, and I couldn't open them. I tried really hard to, and this blue light started seeping into my vision. I felt a pressure behind my eyes and the light brightened, then my dream eyelids snapped open. I was in a field of some sort filled with flowery things, staring at the cloudy sky. It was almost picturesque. Then I was suddenly transported back to my Media classroom. I yelled out stuff like "more lucidity!" and "more clarity!" and the world got more in focus. I still felt a bit groggy but not too much. I looked around the room and realized all the students except me were now dressed in black/grey/blue coloured leotards and lined up across the room. The teacher was standing at the front on the room and pressed some button on her computer. A crackly voice started talking loudly, saying we were about to start doing some exercises, and that that we should exercise, something like that. Anyway all the students started jumping up and down on the spot, so I joined in. it was at this point were I started jumping were I woke up.

2: I also remember a fragment of a dream where it had something to do with the mafia/mob or something, and I was out the front of a large mansion estate in the night where a black limo was parked in front of the house on one of those round about thingy's you see at big estates. That's about all I can remember unfortunately.

Stupid Friends
Time: Logged at 6:02 AM, around 6 hours after falling asleep, first dream remembered.

Dream Summary:I'm rooming at some temple place out in the woods, a bunch of my classmates are there. A bus pulls up, it's mid day, We all load up some stuff for the trip we're about to take and get on. The bus stays in place for a good two hours getting ready. While we are waiting, me and a group of friends all get on some phone game and start playing. The goal of the game is to play different games and earn in-game money which can then be used to upgrade your village. As i'm in-game, i play some sort of game on a very hard difficulty setting, i run through avoiding the enemies and compete the mission. I do this one more time but this time, the mission is harder but i complete it and earn a massive amount of in-game cash, like really massive, enough to practically buy every thing the in-game shop has to offer. However, in order to protect your in-game character from losing the money you earned, you have to deposit it in a bank. I go to do this, but as i do this, my friends all say they want to play in-game volleyball. This absolutely pisses me off because i was forced to play and lost all of my money. I mean seriously, what in the heck. It would of taken all of like 2 seconds to deposit cash, only two seconds! but no, my friends are impatient so i had no choice. The bus is still stopped, so i walk outside and pee by a tree (the temple is out in the woods so i can go to the bathroom where i want ). I'm furious so i sit there and pee for like a straight minute, i'm even more angry at the fact my friend brought his girlfriend out and started talking to her close to the place i was peeing. What a showoff bastard.

Eventually, we get back on the bus, this time it's leaving. As we travel down the road, my backpack falls out of the bus as we cross into another road, i'm panicking . Now my backpack is sitting on a road that connects the two roads, I think hopefully that it may stay there. But nope, a giant cargo truck comes through, the backpack gets stuck on the truck front and whats worse is that the truck is going in the opposite direction and away from our temple home. I'm setting in my bus sit and i can't even say a word, my face is just full of disbelief and shock. First i lost my money and now my backpack, the only emotion that went on at the moment was: F*CK!. My anger was through the roof.

The bus gets to a temporary stop, and somehow but luckily my mom is there and she has her car. I grab one of those fold out plastic lightsabers. ( my plan was to reach out the window and scoop my backpack up with the end of the lightsaber when we got close to the truck, not that it would ever work though... D: ). However, my mom says she hears noises outside. It's night so i can't really see much. However, i hear the sounds that the predators make. (hopefully you all know what im talking about, the sound the predator made from the movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger). It's night but i can still make out shapes and believe it or not, it's those damn bobcats from last nights dream. At this moment, i was feeling this: "You have to be kidding me " And that's how it ended.

My thoughts: This dream really pissed me off. It was pretty cool though, seeing how my emotions could be like that, even in a non-lucid dream. Makes me want to try to lucid dream even more.

Total sleep time: 9 + hrs

Pre bed: 500 mg l-arginine (inspired by Highlander)

WBTB: woke up naturally after 5 hrs, but was super sleepy, so decided to skip the efforts/latte today.

Dream recall: I was planning on taking a break and just sleeping tonight, had it not been the ld at the end, there wouldn't have been a journal entry

Dream contents: the night was characterized by bizarre vivid dreams that I mostly forgot. I tried committing one dream to memory (again no keywords noted) as I thought it is easy to remember. Nothing from that dream. What I recalled is from the last hour of sleep, still pretty bizzarre and gave me a strange feeling too.

Dream1: In our old place, the way it looked many years ago. I am in the room, which at that point in time is dad's workplace. There are a lot of birds there, but soon I notice that some of them are on the floor and do not move. I conclude they are dead. I have a fake dream memory that there was some kind of disease raging, affecting mostly birds and other small animals. I notice lots of robin-like birds (alive) on the wardrobe. Then more dead birds on the floor. I don't think it's a good idea to stay in the room, the air is contaminated. I see some textbooks of mine and begin to gather them before I leave the place.

Dream2: I am in a bus and there is a discussion about a race ( cars/bikes?). My parents are also there. We are looking forward to finding out who the winner is, but it won't be known until 4 hrs later. We can buy tickets to the final, where the winner will be cycling/parading on the streets. I don't want to go there, but mom is talking to the bus driver. I think she will buy two tickets, but instead buys two coffee machines. They go to the back of the bus to get them.

Dream3 DILD: In a special room, a woman I know is like the head of this organization. It looks like a room for a lot of audience, but a bit altar-like. On the stage are a lot of this woman's favorite actors/musicians, most of them are from the past and long gone. Freddie Mercury is also among them. So she is related maybe a deputy for an organization's leader, who I identify as a special friend from my past.

I see a newspaper and begin reading the whole story of the organization. I can't wait to finish it and find out where my friend is now. At that time a DC, who plays the role of a classmate of mine is next to me, places her elbow on the newspaper, so I cannot read. I move the newspaper, but the article is not there, I start browsing the pages, looking for it in vain. I give up.

Me and classmate DC are going somewhere. I see a shop where they sell bracelets and try out one, but it doesn't fit. There are also lots of golden objects, the size and more or less shape of a pen. I notice one very cool looking - a brush entirely made of gold. The bristles are very soft and flexible and I swipe the top of my hand with the brush, but don't feel anything at all. I leave the brush where the other golden objects are. My classmate had selected some golden item and goes inside the store to pay. I accompany her inside and notice that I now hold a golden knife-like item, but do not have the money to buy it. It somehow ends up in my mouth where it stretches, changes shape, and by the time I get it out it is a golden spiral covered with pinkish chewing gum. I move on.

I face a door leading to a hospital-like corridor and go into that direction and end up in a vast room. I have the desire to find my special friend. While observing the room I become lucid. At this moment, my classmate walks through the door and joins me in the room. It is just a DC representation of my classmate, doesn't look like her much, but I am really amazed how this DC managed to follow me from the store. I pay no more attention to her and concentrate on the huge room in front of me.

There are many DCs there, and I decide to ask them where my special friend is. I go and talk to an old lady and ask her about him. She says she will go and get him soon, so I find that pretty cool. I contemplate on the amount of DCs in the room and how they all seem very independent (from my subcon). I have some feeling of the dream becoming unstable so move forward and wonder how real it all seems. I run my hand on the top part of a sofa, so real, stare in front of me, and I even hear a beeping sound which repeats over and over again, like an ECG (possibly an alarm from WL).

The room is on the first floor and leads to a large campus like inside yard. There are lots of people there, but the thing that immediately catches my attention is a black coffin, held in the air by two DCs. The sight gives me the creeps, and I begin crossing myself, a number of times, closing my eyes. Once I calm down a bit, I begin to feel that the dream is about to go, because there are no stimuli, I almost don't see anything and cannot open my eyes! I then remember that someone in DV ( gab or OB, or both, thanks a lot!) said it is possible to see through your eyelids. So I actually see a bit of the scene through the eyelids, and concentrate on it. My vision gets back to normal and I forget about the issue. The same DCs are still gathered there, holding torches as this funeral? is taking place. Most likely the coffin will be brought inside.

That doesn't matter much now because I feel the dream slipping away once again. I look around as much as possible and notice the building surrounding the yard, reminding me of a 18-19th century large hospital or campus or both. I begin to panic as I know I am waking up and I really wanted to learn more about the place. I stop a female DC dressed with strange clothes I don't have much time to investigate and say to her "Quickly, tell me where is this place" twice. She replies something like "America, reserve Neuhausen/Munchausen". I believe at that point that there really may be a place like this and repeat it a few times so that I can check it out later. I consider going in the building but the dream is violently coming to an end and the first floor is on fire.

I decide to check with the place location once again. I see three unpleasant problems individual DCs and engage one of them, asking him where we are. He is so out of place in this dream, doesn't pay any attention to me but instead picks up his phone and starts talking to someone else. Whatever. I look down and see lots of broken mobile phones in the mud...(end of memory and wake up)

I wake up overexcited and tell bf about the dream and he tells tha strangely he also dreamt about Munchausen/neuhausen. I wanted to know more about his dream. We concluded that it is very likely that I have repeated the name during my dream with my real voice and that has carried over to his dream.

Comments: I don't know whether it was my once again very deep sleep or the l-arginine that has caused so much bizarreness today. The dreams had a distinguishable different feeling to them, although it is hard to describe.
The last dream felt very ...different too. I will refrain from any rationalizations at this point.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some FPS Video game.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was exploring forest and was searching for something.

Dream 3:

I was playing some 2D Top Down shooter games, graphics of which looked like they were made quickly in paint, was playing through like five of them, some levels were pretty mazey but other than that it was easy, also one of the levels was in the city of some kind. Then i went to chat with KK and we decided to try multiplayer mode of one of the games, i started on the left side of the map, he started on the right side, i was using wall as a cover and was shooting projectiles at him, he was doing so as well. Then i discovered altfire of my character's weapon, which was firing water projectiles that were traveling down after hitting something. I used them and i noticed that KK's character looked like a cat, shortly i won. We were going to play second game, but dream faded out.

I dreamed last night first of all, that my boss was delivering five pound water jugs to my closet, that was weird because i had just fallen asleep and in the dream i guess I thought it rude to fall asleep while he was still there and was surprised to look over and realize that he wasn't ever there haha! Then I dreamed a somewhat expansive dream, though I don't remember many details of it. I remember being at a party or somewhere with a recent ex of mine . In the dream there was another apparent guy, blonde hair and a shaved head. I kept asking her if she was with him because I was jealous and eager to try to get her back. I think that they ended up not being together and in the end we got back together and it was beautiful. Then I woke up and realized that in my waking life, we were not together still.. I don't know if my dream was a subconscious realization that I really still miss her.

Message to the neighbor - Is there any reason why you can't use the door knob when closing your freaking door? Every freaking time? Oh yeah, I know, you are lazy and inconsiderate prick. And just because you are outside, you can still use your indoor voice when talking to someone standing 2 feet away.

Sunday 6/9/13

Last night bed 11:15 This is second day of drinking water before bed and each time that wakes me up. Great recall again.

DR 1 - 1:15am
I'm an actress, standing with 5-6 others for a group picture on a set of a movie. Director is there too. I'm writing some translation notes on a small piece of paper and director takes it away from me thinking I'm an industrial spy or something. I assure him I'm not, but he is not happy. I tell him name 'Anderson' is a common name and it is also a first entry in a picture dictionary. He sits down on a sofa to look at it and asks me to sit next to him on his right. So I'm slowly flipping first few pages to get to the entry, while he is looking at pages with interest.

DR 2 - 1:15am
I'm in a back of an armored, futuristic passenger car. I keep looking back, because we are either chased already, or expect to be. We are going through hostile territory. Someone shows me a tall apartment building and tells me that in about 6 min, lights should turn on on the 6th floor. That's our clue, that's where we going. I'm watching the black window, expecting a granade to be thrown in, or me laying down suppresive fire with and automated rifle. (Watching Book of Eli that night in WL.)

Got up at 4, didn't feel like have enough details to write down a dream.

DR - 7:00
I'm on a beach in Australia. Someone tells me that the sand is coarse, like ground black pepper. I pick up a fistfull and really, it's like salt and pepper, and it's moist and plyable. I walk to the water and find 2 coins. Then I tell kids that I will be exchanging US coins for australian, 10 of each, 1:1.

7:10 - I lay down on my sofa to WILD. As soon as I do that, a dream pops in my head from the night. It's really cool so I get up to write it down.

DR from night, unknown time
I'm laying on a single bed with white sheets and a blanket. It's a narrow room and bed is along the long wall, from where I can see the front door. Light colored wood. It's someone elses house, I'm visiting?

The front door opens and 4-5 people walk in. Dressed in black and white, some machete hanging from their hands. I know I'm in mortal danger, but all I can do is pretend I'm asleep. I hope they will believe that and don't feel a need to kill me, since I won't see how they kill the guy in the house.

After they are done with this guy, I sense 2 of them standing over my bed. I know this is it. They start slashing me with slow, deliberate cuts.

Next image I get is a girl with hair and face caked with blood, sitting on the back of an ambulance. I don't understand how she is still alive. She is me. Despite of everything, this was more exciting than scary. Or maybe not even exciting, but I knew I can't get scared or it will be even worse.

7:15 - nap to WILD - woke up at 9:00am

I got 5 falling down transitions. There was maybe a minute between them, so it was not DEILDs, but WILDs.

I entered LD in first 3 transitions. In rest of them, I just could not fall asleep on time.

WILD 1 - I wake up in my brothers room, get up and walk through kitchen and through window shades and glass door to the balcony. I lose it here.

WILD 2 - Wake up and walk out the same way. This time I hold it together as I'm standing on the kitchen balcony. It's very early morning, low dark clouds and sun rays peeking at a very shallow angle. In the direction of a WL tree park and behing it is an ocean. It's dark waters are twinkling in the sunlight. There are a few huge cargo ships near the shore. I really want to go and see it up close. Then I remember, I never look around in my lucids, so I start looking around and that's when I wake up.

This is second time I saw an ocean there in my dreams.

WILD 3 This one was kinda sexual. I'm not gonna talk about that, just gonna mention this bug that was walking on the purple wall. Someone told me about it earlier, that the pink spots I see on walls are left by this bug. And really, as he walks, he excretes something and leaves a pink line everytime he touches the wall with his butt.

Two fragments and a dreamlet that I can't be bothered to write down here as they're already in my Dreamkeeper app.

wrote it all out earlier and had logged me out when tried to post . so just short version now was sleeping got phone call got woken to tell me they had told person on phone i was sleeping (this actually happened but thought it was part of dream till i properly awoke and got told) in dream got up lots of newborn puppies in one of the bedrooms lot looked like my dog but mini versions then family friend vistited with her newborn baby and brought gifts trying to analyse my self could be new start ,news of birth ,pregnancy ?

1. [non-lucid]
I wanted to be able to teleport to florida instead of by plane because the flight is pretty long, so I went and found a place that uses magical gems to perform all sorts of magic, was in a cylindrical building, there I met a woman that asked me what type of magician I wanted to be, she cycled through the magic gems where they appeared in this big round hole in the wall showing the gems spells and perks. I chose the blue gem I think, it was called Jesus for no apparent reason.

Now she told me that in order to use the Jesus Gem I must collect them from around the area using a magic map, they seemed very easy to find as I remember finding a ruby in the middle of a road floating in the air shiney and glowing red.

There was also another way of obtaining gems in the fight areana in which I fight an amount of bad guys and get gems if i succeed, I was pretty damn good at it from what I remember.
Sidenote: The bad guys wore a black robe with a soft white belt

I then went back to see her, she wasnt best pleased because I was only collecting ruby's and she was low on silver gems. I had collected 10 ruby's, as I could see by how full the coloured jars were that she was pointing at on the wall. The dream ends.

Woke up at 3:54 and again at 6:// (pretty sure I did a two part dream)

I was riding in an elevator. I was then in a room talking to this girl acquaintance who's about to go to prom. She was wearing a badge around her neck, it was "red leaf" in Chinese. It's a restaurant name, and I asked her why she was wearing it. She told me that everyone went to that restaurant as dinner before prom. I stood in the room, looking at the other side of the room where people were eating. I was then dancing with PW, we were just twirling around the room holding hands. I asked her why we didn't have something fun like that last year. She said there was, but we didn't go because she didn't want our relationship to get any further. I was then sitting at a table, talking to other people, talking about something else.

Begin dream fragment:

My friend Kevin who trains a lot in the gym like I do, told me he was going to stop going to the gym because he "didn't have time". I was really surprised and a bit pissed off initially because I was going to sign up to the gym instead of just training at home.

End of non-lucid fragment.

Date: 08 June

Total sleep time: 6 1/2 hrs

Pre bed: 200mg valerian

WBTB: cold latte (103.4 mg caffeine), did not feel very strong despite the warnings on the label

Dream quality and recall: Hmm, recall was quite difficult today, I was extremely sleepy pre WBTB and after falling asleep post WBTB. Vividness was as far as I can remember normal. Not totally sure about the sequence of the dreams. I did wake up naturally after WBTB and tried to commit the dreams to memory without taking any notes, but then quickly fell asleep. After final wake I was like " What, I don't remember anything at all?" Then some fragments emerged.

Dream1: I am in my grandma's place and there is a hungry lion in there too. I barely notice it , just know that it is there. (It seems I wasn't looking forward to giving it a hug today!) So, I get a large bone to lure it, it looks like some big KFC leftover and I throw it in the corridor, while trying to sneak out. I am not very sure where this lion is, but I am contemplating on an escape plan...

Fragment2: In some place, which reminds me of a block that I only dream about. The place is a bit different, and the floor is made of Chinese tiles. I am crossing it, and in the meantime lots of Asians appear there. They have to be careful because there are fragile blue/white Chinese dishes on the floor. I go with a touch of irritation, pick some guy and tell him he should not do what he is doing. I get the feeling of another dream with some Japanese girls I had a long time ago.

Fragment3 DILD: No idea how this dream started, when I got lucid and what I else I did while lucid. It is quite dark, and it seems I ran into a DC that I assume is Xanous. I address him and start talking to him. I remember he may not be lucid, so I grab him by the shoulders, shake him a bit and repeat several times that this is a dream. Then I remember to do the gesture, and finally repeat the passcode a few times. It looks like he is trying to memorize it, I repeat it a few more times, hopefully he will remember. I hold his head with my hands, while the dream slowly fades away.

Comments: Well a bit unlikely that this was Xanous, did he say anything back? I am so good at terrorizing innocent DCs. Sorry guys!

Long dreams, but not much recall.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some video game.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was searching something in some weird city.

Dream 3(fragments):

There was some story about some anime character that could time travel, i was going with him and we were trying to save something, then when we got back someone noticed that that character got older while only the day passed.

Dream 4(fragments):

I was at home and there was some discussion about UFOs, i started noticing few weird mini square fragments in everything that looked like Alien Alloys from XCOM game, i touched one of them and it felt weird.

Saturday, 6/8/13

Last night bed 9:30pm

DR 11:30 pm - Long dream about becoming lucid and going about having fun in a LD. I'm assuring myself that I'm not scared to go through walls, because I want to get to another place and that's a good way to do it.

DR 3:19 am - Friend of mine lives on a huge mountain that's to the left of my house. I'm surprised that I never knew she lives there.

So we start slowly walking up the hill to her house. It's a long winding dirt path going through very different areas.

1. We come up to a field with some trees in a row - like a windbreak. Right above the path are huge and imposing power lines. I'm looking through them to the rocky mountains quite near behind them, partially covered with snow. I look at the clouds. They look like before or after storm. I ask why is there such a different weather than below the hill. I get an answer, that different weather fronts are meeting right there, so there is lots of storms and cooler weather. I look below at the large lake. It's a nice place and I like it a lot.

I'm worried that a thunderstorm is gonna start any minute. We are at a bad spot, right beneath the power lines. So I start running to the left through the field. I see a small area, that looks like a memorial for fallen soldiers. As I come closer, it's actually a memorial for someones wedding. I see small picture of bride and groom.

There are some candles and old, chewed up, barely still showing their yellow original color tennis balls, arranged in a semi circle. A kid sits down and starts throwing the balls at the memorial. I give him a speech about respect.

2. Another area is like a small alpine village. Steep, winding path between houses. Friend shows me her house in the distance, but I'm not sure which one she is pointing at.

3. Next I'm walking through a multistory restaurant. The path is apparently going through it. I can't find my way. Waiters are busy preparing meals for something big. One of them starts yelling at me "no, no, don't step there". I look down and there are some plates wtih food and gravy boats. I tell him to chill, I wasn't gonna step on them. But then a piece of meat falls out from the sandwich I'm eating and he gets pissed that it almost fell into the gravy. I'm thinking "what the hell is food doing on the floor anyway". I ask him where is exit and he points me to it.

4. As I exit the restaurant, I find myself standing on a train platform in 19th. century Japan. I hear the words "Fukuoka" and "Dobare". A japanese woman with a child is pointing at a sign in Japanese written on the wall behind the tracks. It apparently means that direction goes to Tokyo. I'm thinking, how in the world am I going to continue my trip around the world, now that I'm stuck in 19. century Japan. No airplanes, just slow boats. I figure, since I'm already here, I should stay for about a year to really get to know the place.

DR 7:26am - Someone is pregnant again, either me or my brother. I'm with my cats in my old room, boy cat has a baby.

Fragment: My aunt and uncle came over, and my uncle had some kind of task for me to do. It was really arduous and I didn't want to do it, but I would have felt bad saying no because I don't see him often.

Dream 1 (not sure if pre or post-WBTB): I was at what appeared to be the church, but with the aisles divided by walls. Only the front area (where the altar would have been, but wasn't) was open. There were a bunch of girls in their mid or late teens that were going to take part in some ceremony. I was just kind of wandering around aimlessly, I think.

Then I went to the back of the church, where there was something (a TV) through which I learned that K and W had been on a stupid reality show and they were talking about the results and how their relationship had improved so greatly. They didn't appear as themselves, though, but as some kind of puppets or cartoon characters. I'm sure at least one was a lion.


Fragment: I got a negative feedback on eBay and was worried that no one would buy from my shop anymore.
