non-lucid

My mom and uncle were making black currant wine, but the black currants looked more like blackberry colored pomegranates. At one point I saw their juice running down my hands.

This is the first time I've noticed my own hands in a dream, which is one of my chosen RCs.

Not sure if in order.

1. [non-lucid][rememberable]
I think I was attending a college reunian or something like that, then I ended up in my old IT classroom with my old IT Tutor and he was using a PC with me sat/stood at the side of him, he scratched himself...I looked at him, he had chicken pox.

2. [non-lucid]
I saw a picture of a really gineric looking fake rainbow, I recall a sound it was giving off but I don't remember it (maybe a sparkly sound).

3. [non-lucid]
I dont remember but I know I had another dream.

fragments:
something about brushing my teeth .

Dream recall from today's naps.

There was some character selection screen, i was fiddling with settings. There was some reptiloid character face selected and i was able to use points to make custom mask/helmet from tiny pieces in very detail. After some time figuring out stuff, suddenly i start having weird physical sensations, i want to touch something and dream fades from game screen to my room, with dad right in front of me. He's not moving, like a statue and has no eyeballs. I go to balcony and try to run through door. The door becomes elastic and bounces me back, dream destabilizes quickly. I shout some stabilization commands and destabilization instantly stops. Suddenly something grabs me from the back and starts flying back and forth, at first i am confused but then like 'why not' and i start passively controlling movement of it. Shortly we fly a bit too high and go straight through the ceiling... and we are back through the floor in the same room. Shortly dream destabilizes again and i wake up.

Dream: i was at some sort of reception. i told a woman who was affiated with the Roman Catholic Church that i want to be added to their mailing list. In my dream I had just moved into town and did not have an address yet, but i had an email address. I explained that i was no longer Roman Catholic, but wanted to be on their mailing list anyway - out of some unexplained reason. The woman then asked me "Why are you no longer Catholic? Don't you like Walesa?" (Which is odd because Walesa was the Polish leader of Solidarity labor movement that overthrew Communism in Poland, and not a typical figure to stand in for Catholicism, but in my dream I did not question that.) I responded: "I do. I just love my husband more. And he is Episcopalian. Besides priests can get married and women can be priests in the Episcopal Church, and that's important to me." She had never heard of this before, and was shocked.

Fragment: Man with constant erection. doctors peel it like a banana.

Fragment: False alarming material stored in warehouse. I suspected it was not false alarm. Retest. Machines go crazy again.

Remembered anither fragment when woke, but it was gone when i moved.

I became lucid in my back garden and performed different reality checks, didn't stabilize and I tried to do something a little dumb and the dream ended instantly.

I was with a friend, well not so much a friend anymore. We went into a computing room at school and logged into this computer, I have no idea what we were doing but we were typing in commands and passwords. There were a few girls sitting behind us, we realized and i'm pretty sure we started up a conversation with them. Not sure what happened next due to me recalling 14 hours after I woke up!

Long and fairly detailed recall today, somewhat epic even by the end.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some kind of videogame, there was some cliffy landscape.

Dream 2:

There was something going on about multiple worlds and levels. I was going through some places and eventually had to make a choice. I decided to go into one of the worlds.
It resembled waking world and i was near the school that looked like one from my past. I didn't cared much about the school, but i went into it, then to the 4th floor and then after some search i visited one of the classrooms. There were some people, i was sure that we contacted alot before and we were friends over internet. They were talking about a movie theater they were going to visit, some of them weren't going though. We had some talk and i asked if i can join, they responded "Sure!". I decided to try and convince the ones who didn't wanted to join, but they were responding that they do not like cartoons and especially Tom and Jerry. I was disappointed, but surely there are always people who won't like something. Then after some events in the class i exited it. On my way to the exit of the school, i didn't wanted to be noticed by teachers, because for some reason they were sure that i was still learner, except i was not. When going down the stairs i noticed that gravity was low, so i decided to slightly slide to get to the first floor quicker, i did almost fell down between stairs at one point though, but i quickly low gravity jumped back to stairs. People didn't really liked it though and somebody was shouting that 'i am the princess' or something like that. At the end of the stairs one of teachers seen me, but i pretended to be someone else and just said greetings and walked away, it worked.
Soon i was outside, it was sunny day. But i noticed that people are getting barked upon and sometimes attacked by someone's small dogs near the both pathways through the fence, and that someone was talking right near them and was not caring. I was not sure if i can go through without getting attacked, but whatever, i went through the right way, but not by pathway itself, but by the grass slightly to the right. Dogs were shortly here, and they did nothing other than giving me weird looks, then they ran to bark on someone else. After that i had to go through a couple of places that worked like video game of sorts, i had to do some platforming through various obstacles and i had 'houses' for the amount of lives. At one point i was running on the top of the fence and there was a tower with the life on top, i couldn't decide whether i want to get it or continue with the level because getting it meant using some kind of different path through the level, which was a shortcut with no way to return and i didn't liked using those, but i still wanted to get it. Eventually i decided to just continue the level.
I reached the movie theater, i was the first one to get there though, so i just sit on one of the seats and waited. The movie theater itself was just the room though, with a bunch of seats lined up and some projectors. Soon people started entering and friends arrived as well, i was apparently sitting on someone's place, i didn't cared enough about that, also they don't really expected anyone to join and they couldn't buy any additional seats. I had to use free place, but that meant i had to stay instead of sitting, whatever. Soon the cartoon started, it was about wilderness and various animals that could talk(like usual in cartoons), there were some fights and they had to escape and team up, they had to reach floating island in the middle of the sea. While watching i noticed that there were three projectors working at the same time for some reason, one was near me. Then something went horribly wrong with that projector, it malfunctioned and then it flashed through the room. Somehow, that infected me with something that had potential to turn me into some insectoid thing, according to someone from the room. Indeed i did read about it earlier, at least i remembered it(false memory?). I started thinking about it, while continuing watching, some people were getting worried but that's it. Soon the cartoon was almost over, it was final scene. At this point projectors malfunction again, but this time it goes even more seriously wrong. After the flash, the place started collapsing and the whole world started destroying itself somehow. The screen turned into a portal though, so i quickly jumped in.
I was now one of the characters, i was a dinosaur of some kind, i was on the floating island with animals from earlier. This world got affected by the other one collapsing as well, there was a storm, also there was a portal that projector was projecting through the other portal. The lion was asking me if i really want to go, i recalled the memories, which were memories of the character i inherited when i got into this world, i was part of it now. He was saying that i don't need to go if i don't want to, considering i liked the fights that we went though, so i don't need to escape that much and i could just swim back. I recalled the fights with dinosaurs, it was fun, but i was not sure about state of the world due to the whole portal thing. So i decided to go with them. Everyone enters the portal. Everything fades.
For a few seconds, i was reading the book of what just happened. Then everything fades out completely. I wake up.

Dream #1
I was planning on putting on a play for my mother with some people (?). We were moving several props to the center so people would be able to see them from a distance. These props included items that belongs in a kitchen and a living room (I guess like furniture). No matter were we moved these props, there seemed to be a problem and we never could get this issue quite right. After some time of moving things around, my mother had passed away in this dream (by the way...my mother is alive) and my father and grandmother had built the most beautiful skyscraper in her memory. It was so tall, the tip of the building was covered by the clouds. The skyscraper was made of pure gold with reflective mirrors all over it. The gold shined brighter than the sun itself. As the building glistened in the sun, it almost look transparent. It's beauty was absolutely awesome!

Dream #2
I needed a ride and I didn't know where I was. It was very dark and I was crying and I was scared. I went into a store and asked the owners if they new the bus route and they asked me where I was going. I couldn't tell them exactly where I was going, I just cried and told them I wanted to go home. The owner felt sorry for me and said that he will give me a ride home. I was still crying because even though I had a ride home, I couldn't tell the person which way to go. I remember passing a building in my dream that said "San Bernadino Hospital."

Fragment
A huge metal barrel I was rolling around and groceries were inside of it.

I must have been somewhere near Marble Canyon (or Cliff Dwellers). I was looking in the sky and saw a big plane. I noticed it was coming in awfully close to the ground. I suddenly saw it start dropping bombs. It dropped them on the Big Cut and on Bitter Springs. I was horrified. I wondered why an enemy would bomb somewhere this remote. I saw someone next to me and started asking what was happening and why. The guy said that the whole US was under attack. That we were lucky that no bombs were dropped where we were. But he pointed down the highway toward Jacob Lake. There was a large plane that had crashed about 10 miles down and it had destroyed the whole road. The plane had been full of Asian soldiers. I realized that we were stranded with both of those roads taken out. But I was knew we could get to Lee's Ferry and had access to the Colorado River. This might not be a bad place to be to hunker down while we figured out a plan.

I'm having one of those dreams where my daughter is being super disruptive. I hate these dreams because she's nothing like that in RL.

Date: 30 May

Dream quality and recall: There was an improvement in vividness, my awareness during dreams today was high, with a possible short ld moment. Recall was slightly better than previous days, but still below my average. There was a dreaming/ld theme so I take it as a positive sign. Postponed writing down the dream, so lost some details.

Dream00: I just remember some brief moment of lucid awareness during the dream

Fragment1: I am discussing dreaming with someone

Dream2: I see a classmate and talk to her. Then on same the street there is an older lady that has some connection to charity. A bit later, I am with the same lady but in a store, where I am trying some shoes. They are slightly uncomfortable, but I decide to buy them. I go to the cashier with the same DC woman and explain something about the shoes. The price has been reduced but they are still extremely expensive. Obviously I like them a lot, and decide they are worth it. I barely manage to gather enough money, but find additional small change in my wallet so I happily make the purchase.

Later on, a number of times and for some unknown reason, I keep coming back to the place where the DC woman was, but she is not there anymore. It looks like a room full of lockers now. A group of teenagers follows me and they make bold moves, touching my butt. I become annoyed and threaten them with my bf. I continue on my way until I see a nice place where they sell food and other fancy Japanese items. Bf is also here. I briefly talk to the woman behind the counter. The whole place gradually changes and is now more like a highly specialized store, and the thing they specialize in is lucidity! I see a whole section of lucid- inducing supplements, including G, mucuna, lots of books, crystals, etc. I am very happy to have found this place and consider purchasing some of the things. (CL you may have something to do with this!)

Fragment3: Talking to my aunt

Thursday 5/30/13

Last night bed 10:30 - 6:17am

DR: 3:40am

This one was almost scary. I'm escaping from Barbie World. Security guards are using toys, like they play a tune on a toy handheld piano and the chime from it opens the doors. I'm breaking through the floor to get to the lover level. I killed a woman by throwing a sheet of glass like a frisbee at her throat.

I'm in Wild West. They have an Xbox, because in my previous dream, me or someone else took it back into the past. Now in that reality cowboys in saloons play Xbox.

I am controlling some kind of flying toy remotely (I don't know why but I think it was a cat);
I end up in someone's back yard, I fight with a bunch of kids and someone from the house invites me in and tells me I'm late for his kinetotherapy session. I know I have no idea what he's talking about but I ask him for money and he gives me some. I vaguely remember someone undressing in the same room and then I run out the door taking the money. A short time after, a cop is chasing me on foot. I hide behind a barrel/dumpster...

AND MY CAT WOKE ME UP!

05-27-2013 -- I'm in a room somewhere with a guy who is asking me to make him some floaty fliers, a balloon design I sort of adapted from somebody else's design. At first I think the guy wants me to teach him how to make the (extremely simple) design, but no, he wants me to make him a bunch of them. For free. I try to ask him why he doesn't just want to learn to make it, and he explains that he is out of black balloons. And there is now a shortage on them, so they cost too much. So he wants me to use mine, instead. Problem is, I have no balloons with me. But I point out we are in a big room with lots of bags of balloons, including several black bags. But he says they all belong to someone rich, who would charge him for them. I'm starting to get very mad at the guy, but suddenly find myself wondering if the big professionals feel the same way about me, and my limitations of money and skill ....

Anyway, the place seems to be slowly turning into a convention hotel or something, and it is starting to feel like I am at Twist and Shout, though it almost feels like it expanded out of a basic alley meeting. Another guy walks in, and starts to twist something, trying to demonstrate a technique or something, in almost a jam room sort of setting, but there is a young lady there who is being really obnoxious about it not being in the program, and there not being any announcement about it, and how was she supposed to know about it. She doesn't seem to understand it is not a class or something, but just a quick spur-of-the-moment thing.

Andrew McDonald shows up and starts doing something, then I think Greg Schuerman is there, as well. Soon Laura Caldwell shows up, and more and more people are gathering, even though it is still two hours before the official class is supposed to take place. Soon a grumpy security guard walks in, and everybody fears he is going to tell us to get out until time for the class, but he tells us the group has rented the room for the entire week, and we can use it whenever we want to. So somebody decides they might as well set up a bounce house there. I think Mark Byrne is also setting up for a show or presentation or something.

Time seems to jump, and it is now two hours later, and they are starting up a business meeting or something, but I am trying to do some writing, putting this dream into my notebook as it is happening (yet not managing to go lucid, even though I obviously know I am dreaming in at least one sense) and the meeting is kind of distracting me, so I walk outside. But it turns out to be even more noisy and distracting there, because Don Caldwell and Billy Damon are putting on some sort of show. They explain they are sort of ADD, and don't do all that well with the business meeting portion of the convention, so they are waiting until that finishes, and things get a little more interesting, before they go in. That ought to be about ... say ... now. So they head back inside, and I decide to follow.

As I walk in, Don (or possibly Mark) is giving some sort of demonstration where he is pretending to be a plane, and several members from the audience are supposed to be his landing strip, unfortunately, they keep running away when he flies at them! It's a very strange thing. Meanwhile, I have this strange feeling of anticipation, and somehow know something I have no way of knowing. Deep underground, far beneath us, is the inescapable prison of Hathor, which recently had it's first ever breakout. The long-trapped hero has been slowly making his way toward the Panarch's Palace, and will be joining us shortly ... then things will really start to happen. Somehow this balloon convention is turning into some sort of Brandon Sanderson novel.

05-27-2013 -- Hints of some kind of office work, maybe at Hewitt, or maybe at a new, slightly twisted version of the Hornet newspaper. First bit is, as usual, not all there and rather limited. Anyway, we seem to be moving desks and computers and things to a new room, and we're pushing desks and computer parts and things together in some weird angles, joining them all together, but we really don;t know if they are likely to work like that. Somehow I manage to knock over a glass of orange juice that is sitting there, but manage to grab it so fast that only a couple of drops manage to spill. We are so busy with moving everything that there is no time to clean everything up properly, but we just drop an old newspaper on the tiny bit of spilled juice, and hope it will absorb it.

The computers are now all hooked up, and two lovely women are working with me here. One, I think, is Chloe from Smallville. The other might be a slightly younger version of BC. Somehow though it mostly seems to be the Hornet at the moment, there is also a hint of the 3M Dental warehouse. For some reason there is a tub in the middle of the office, and I am kind of embarrassed about stripping down and climbing in, but a few seconds later I am trying to coax either or both of the lovely women into the tub with me. No luck at the moment, because they both have work to get done, but indications are good for both of them at some later time, so I am still fairly happy. Problem is, as I move around in the tub, which I seem to have over-filled, water is splashing over the side, and I am hoping it doesn't do any damage. Luckily, it seems to room was designed for it, so it all seems to be good.

[At this point, things shift slightly, and this may be a different dream, but it seems to fit, so I am not sure.] I step out of the shower, instead of a bath, and find myself in mom's bathroom in the Hickory house. I am thinking about using the toilet, but these days it is always broken, damaged, and jammed up in my dreams, so I am worried to do so. The good news is mom knows this, too, and has bought some gadget to attach to the toilet that is supposed to keep it working better. The bad news is, it doesn't seem to be up to the job, and is bubbling wildly like it is about to explode.

So I just exit the bathroom wrapped in a towel, into mom and dad's bedroom. Dad is laying there asleep, but mom is not there. It is late at night, and mom has been really unstable recently (all the dreams of her beating up on me) so I am afraid she is going to yell at me for taking a shower so late, and I just want to get out of there. I sneak out of their room, but am horrified to see mom is sitting in my room. Thankfully she has fallen asleep, so I quietly sneak down the hall and into the living room, where I find the couch is still warm, and I realize Melody must have just left again, after napping there. I realize mom was in my room hoping to catch Melody when she came in so late, but she fell asleep, and never heard Melody, since she decided to just nap on the sofa. I curl up in the warm spot she left and drift off to sleep, myself.

I found myself in some sort of underground supermarket. I was with a guy friend, who told me that my mom didn't want me buying my favorite chocolate cereal, which I thought was odd. I browsed the store, eventually finding that they offered a wide selection of video games. I spent alot of time looking them over but did not buy any. When I went to leave, I was alone and had decided not to buy anything at all. Where the cash registers ought to be I found a man-sized alligator sitting on a throne of merchandise. I recognized him as the owner. I told him that I was an inspector and that, in exchange for letting me live, I would always give good reports on his establishment. He agreed, somehow communicating without speaking, and sent me off with a tiny turtle to accompany me.

I returned to the home I had arranged to stay in, where a single woman with a young son was renting out a spare room. The woman directed me to the bathroom and to my room, then left me alone. The bathroom had a rather large shower, and I left the turtle there. I then went to my room, which was at the end of a long hallway, set apart from the rest of the house. I found the room to be the size of a small cabin, and furnished accordingly, with many windows - a bit too many for my liking. I closed all of the curtains and ventured out onto the attached porch. The porch was huge, and, I realized, suspended high up in an unimaginably large tree. Where the porch ended, a net extended many yards off, and contained the framework of two wrecked schoolbuses. I noticed that the porch screen was torn in one place as if some large animal had broken through, and decided that I ought to go back inside before dusk.

..

In this dream I started out as a dog, a great dane. I was in a supermarket looking for a westie named Yasho, my dog irl. I found him in a sort of dog training area with a small group of humans I'd not seen before. I realized they were using Yasho to demonstrate the usage of shock collars in dog training, and I began barking and growling in a useless attempt to stop them. Of course, security was called and I ended up knocked out.

I found myself in the spacious backyard of a mansion. A large group of people was gathered there for lunch. I was rather popular with the guests, and managed to snag a good bit of their food. After lunch, of few of the attendees retreated to the parlor. I sat outside and listened to their conversation. Apparently someone at the mansion was possessed, and it was almost definitely Anne Marie. I did not know who this person was, but she sounded familiar.

Back in human form, I found myself hiding under a grounded rowboat with about four other people. One of them I knew to be Anne Marie by the pagan symbol she wore on a necklace. She had dark curly hair and piercing black eyes.

I was with the same group, in a car. It was night and raining and I was driving, which was far from safe. We stopped in a mall parking lot.

I'm not sure why we went into the mall, but we did, and I seized the opportunity to break away from the group. Anne Marie had basically corrupted everyone, and so I would need backup if I would be confronting them.

I wound up at my friend Mary's house. She was there with her dad and grandpa, expecting me. We sat on the deck and evaluated the situation.

So a short post to start with saying that after 6 long years without training at all for my lucid dreams I felt it was time to pick it back up again.

I am starting from the ground up , just like I did when I first started LDing but now I have the knowledge to have the best possible results in the shortest possible time.

If you would like to follow my progress I would love to share it with you.

Day 0 - Dream recall - Snippests and feelings.

Warmth - family - talking about selling my motor bike- energy building throughout my dream. Healing
