non-lucid

In this dream I was part of a huge project creating documentation for the military. My two bosses was the same as in real life, but I had many coworkers whom I had never met before. There were a number of coworkers on this project who were graduate students from a reasearch university, and even in the dream they were new coworkers to me. What was interesting was that in this dream I was significantly younger than in real life - in fact I was younger than these graduate students, and pretty shy around them, trying to impress. However, I was still a major player in the project, often acting as my boss's representative, which was inconsistent with my dream age, more consistent with my actual level of seniority where I will informally at times act that way with my boss's blessing on less important conference calls and such.

So we were building huge amounts of documentation for the military. (This reminds me of my recent other dreams of creating huge amounts of documents on a large ship. The military part of this dream is probably due to my having interpreted someone else's dream about military last evening before going to bed.) I remember this dream as being long, but now I only remember some significant parts. In one of them we are having an informal meeting in what looked like a dorm room: the graduate students, my Italian American boss who is the less influential of my two bosses - more of a project manager) and myself, and one of the graduate students was saying, "we have all this documentation planned, but what about the shopper's guide? We usually do a shoppers guide for this type of project." Me: "I cannot say. You should really ask our government lead, he is the boss, and he is paying you for this project, so you should ask him whether to do this document." Grad student (this one seemed to be like a leader of the bunch, and in a previous scene he and I had been thrown together, and I was now a bit less shy around him - he was cute.): "Yes, but what do you think? Would you like us to make a shoppers guide? Would you think it useful?" Me: "I think a shoppers guide could be useful. However, I don't make the decisions and I am not the one who pays you, so my opinion is not what you should be seeking." My Italian American boss/team lead: "What she is saying is that she does not have the cojones."

In a later scene I realized that a document that my government lead asked me to prepare was actually a version of the shoppers guide. So I went to tell the grad students, and I also said "When dealing with the military, proper terminology is important. This is not the shoppers guide. This is called the acquisitions plan."

I also remember some scene that seemed to be part of the same dream where I was out in a parking lot. It was raining, and I had to retrieve something from a locker in the parking lot.

I have the sense that there was much more to this dream. I think the scene with my government lead telling me to work on the acquisitions plan was an actual dream scene, not just a memory, for example. Also the scene of being thrown together in some task with the graduate student, which made me less shy around him. I also remember walking down a hallway side by side with the grad student.

Analysis: I think I am dreaming dreams of creating huge amounts of documentation because I am having a sense of not being creative enough in my work and just creating documents but not actually creating something. I am thinking as a solution I should start making bread or crocheting at home again to get an outlet which produces more tangible non written results.

I was in a library with my cousin and a guy from the building where I used to live. We all kinda grew up together, although I kinda of drifted apart when I was about 13 or 14 (I'm 22 now and I've known the people in the building since I was around 8) while my cousin remained really close friends with all of them.

Anyway, I remember trying to look at the guy, but I couldn't see him clearly because I was not wearing my glasses. It looked like he was pointing something at me, so I jumped to the floor... right before he fired a gun at me. My cousin (who's really tall and pretty strong - the guy is also tall, but not strong - I'm a hobbit) tackled the guy, got up and he had this kind of stake on his hand, but it was bigger than a stake. Anyway, he hit the guy with it and then he sunk the stake on the floor, but also the guy's t-shirt, so that'd be stuck there.

I told my cousin that it'd have been better to have stabbed the dude than his t-shirt, but my cousin looked super sad about having to beat the guy. Then, he told me that the guy was on drugs and that he even had put cocaine on his eyes. I told him he'd get blind because of that, my cousin got even sadder, so I told him that I didn't mean that.

The guy was still moving, so we decided to run. There were many stairs and I always jump down stairs in my dreams... so that's what I did. When I got to the last floor, it was a lobby and there was a bit of a line to get out through the revolving door. I saw a character from One Tree Hill sitting on the floor (I had a OTH marathon very recently), so I joined him. We were friends in my dream, so we left the building together.

He took me to this dining place, it was really cheap, but I think there was tasty food. I remember being happy with what we got. Then, we went to the mall and there were two more people with us. As we were walking, I made a wrong turn and ended up at a blank wall where I thought there was a corridor. I thought "oh, I always do this at this mall, damn!" I often have dreams where I'm at a mall, so maybe I'd been there before? I don't remember, but it's possible.

The four of us were walking around, having fun and laughing, then suddenly, the mall changed. It was still the same mall, but the stores had changed places and the corridors had also moved. I looked back to my friends and there was only one person there, he seemed confused too.

I looked around, looked back at him and said "This is a dream. But there's something wrong with it. Something is corrupting the dream." This friend of mine (I don't know him in real life and, from what I can remember of his face, which is very little, I think that he looked like me) was still freaking out, he wanted to know what was going on. He believed me that it was a dream, but he wanted to know why it had changed so abruptly.

Then, this other person showed up, I think it was a girl, but can't be sure... and I also think that she looked like me. She pointed at this wall where there was a curtain, she opened the curtain and there was a huge tv screen on the wall. I couldn't see clearly what was there, but it was paused and the screen was blue. There was stuff written there, but I couldn't read it, I was too far from it. Anyway, this girl said "There. You have to watch this. The dream changed because he wanted to give you this message." and then I woke up.

It was VERY creepy and I woke up with my heart beating super fast.

I was at my mum's house.

Mum, sister, grandparents and aunt were there.

It was night.

I was burning things in my room.

For some reason, there was a giant chemical equation in my room, and it was actually a physical thing.

I brought it downstairs and showed every one but they said that I shouldn't burn it because it would cause
an explosion or something.

I then took it outside to the garden and went back inside.
A while after that I heard an explosion and it turned out that one of the letters (that were in circles) had exploded.

I then walked into a town near the village I live in, but instead, it had a LOT more shops, and the hill where the shops
are were steeper.
I walked to the bottom of the street and found there were loads of theme park rides and water slides etc.
I didn't go on them yet and instead walked up the street.
I walked down again, and heard someone say that you should buy something from the music shop because he's running out
of money or having a child or something, and outside was a girl from my school (although I'm not in school anymore),
which I immediately knew was the daughter of the music shop owner.

I then decided to go on the rides, although, one of them had shut down and there was a pile of rubble in the entrance
blocking anyone from getting through, there was also police tape in front of it, but instead, it was yellow.

I then went (I think) on a water slide. The slide was huge, and REALLY tall. At the end of the slide, the nice
50-ish year old coronation street type woman told me that I would want to buy protection, and bat, or a stick, or something
at the stall/market/shop at the end of the slide, but that was pointless because you couldn't reach it till' you had
finished the ride. I then saw a girl and her father beside me on the slide, the dad was carrying a black baseball bat
looking foam thing. As we got closer to the bottom, I could see big pictures of a hippo, a crocodile and giraffe, each
picture had people in foam coloured suits trying to stop us reaching the bottom, in between the slop of the slide
and the flat bit of the end was water, so I had jump over. After doing this, the dad hit and made the people in the middle
crocodile picture disappeared so they could run through. When I tried to run through, I got about 3/4 of the way through
until the people in the hippo picture grabbed me and I flashed back to the entrances of the ride.

This is another dream that took place in pretty cool surroundings. It was a type of canyon sort of mountain, but not completely like dessert, it was green in some places. At first, I thought that it was just a small ridge sort of thing so I attempted to climb it, but when I looked up the mountain I could see it was pretty damn high. I had already climbed up a pretty good distance and now I couldn't get back down, so I began to sort of panic. I panicked for a bit and then thought " maybe I could open my eyes and this is a dream ". I think this could have actually led into having a lucid dream, but I still wasn't completely sure I was so I wasn't lucid. By the time I figured out I was having a dream I was in bed with my eyes open.

However, I accidentally skipped a bit. Before the part with climbing up the mountain happened, I remember I was traveling on some trails under it. While I was doing this apparently Mr. Tom Cruise thought this was the time to drop by and came and smiled and passed some conversation with me. I somehow took some pictures of him on my phone, I don't remember if I asked him to or just somehow did it secretly. He left, and then I remember that the next day I think in what was school I tried to show one of my friends pictures that I took of him to prove that I had seen him but I couldn't find them, checking on both phones. But I knew that I actually did see Tom Cruise.

Anyways, this was another dream that took place in really cool surroundings. I plan to flesh out and describe the locations I have seen so that I might be able to visit them in later lucid dreams, and who knows, maybe Tom Cruise might be hanging around there again. What a damn fabulous bastard.

I was in place similar to dream 2 from this: http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/chec...dungeon-46944/ , and was doing some things around the dungeon, then i was discussing some dreaming related things with somebody and inducing sleep on someone else.

Lastnights dream although sadly not lucid, was fun.

I met a wealthy family of wearwolves, and a pirate (friend of the wealthy wearwolf). The dream appeared to be set in a time before cars as we were traveling by wooden ship, or horse.
The local malitia had been tipped off to some connection between the pirate and the family, and were trying to arrest the adult male wearwolf. Then they alleged that he was a wearwolf that had been attacking people (not true). There was another wearwolf family in the area, whose daughter wanted the Alpha of the other family for herself, and she had tipped the malitia off about a wearwolf attacking people.
My DC (I call her that because while she didn't look like me, she was the one whose eyes I looked through), while infuriated almost constantly by the pirate's interferance with her attempts to help his friend's family, seemed to be very much attracted to the pirate.
Near the end of the dream, my DC and several other people (the pirate, the first wolf family, the girl from the other family, and a few other people) were discussing how to save the Alexai (the pirate's friend and head of the wealth wearwolf family) from being arrested and locked away.
The girl from the other family suggested that he should run, not telling his family where he was going or where to find him when he got there (wearwolves can always find each other).
My DC suggested providing the malitia with the actual wear wolf that had been attacking people (she had witnessed the girl turn into a wolf and kill someone for the malitia to find). At that suggestion the girl and everyone except Alexai, his family, the pirate and my DC left angry about the suggestion. My DC turned as the girl was leaving and called her a coward. She then looked at Alexai and asked him to make her a wear wolf, at least that way she could get the attention of the malitia off of Alexai so he and his family could live in peace.
Sadly, that is where the dream ended.

Saturday, 6/1/13

Last night bed 10pm - 8:10am

DR 2am - I'm with kids from the streets. We are all kids, playing at the end of the street in undeveloped area as we used to. There is a ditch and we play tere too. There is a boy that used to be a troublemaker, and his mom. We are doing something with weeds.

DR 8:10am - Again, I'm across the street, same area as in first dream. It's a dirt field, just as it used to be. I have found some gems in the dirt and plan on coming back later. I look back and I try to remember the place - its by 4 small trees.

I come back with a bucket and dig all over. The ground is pebbly and soft. I'm finding all kinds of gems. Nice amethyst of beautiful purple color, also some very nice green opaque stones. I remembered from WL, that I don't really like green stones, but these were really nice. I have also found someones pile of same green stones, and also blue ones. All opaque. There was also a small part of a seashell and I'm shoving it to someone. (4-5 days ago watching in WL show on weather channel about people digging for gemstones)

There are also some selling booth at this field. It seems that who first comes to this booth, can take anything he wants, even if it doesn't belong to him. I take a small statue, that's next to some tablets with egyptian hieroglyphs. (watching Ancient Aliens in WL). A guy - owner of the booth is disappointed that I snatched something, but he understands it was legal. I'm not very comfortable doing it.

In general, good feeling from these gemstones.

2013-06-01

#1:
It felt like I was in a Pokemon game. Not much to say about it, except I was only walking around.

#2:
At the end of a long "dungeon", there were books called Black to White and White to Black (I think this was a reference to Pokemon). The whole books were sort of like puzzles and the pages split from being black to being white in the middle of each page. They had a lot of pictures as well, and I think they were written by J.K. Rowling.

#3:
My dad had people over. I think he invited over the people with the first phone numbers (1-111-111-1111, 1-111-111-1112 etc) and quite a few came. My cousin was there as well. We were given riddles to solve collaboratively.

It was a long night and I kept waking up periodically and remembering fragments of dreams. They were too vague to be worth writing down, though, and I ended up forgetting most of them.

Only Fragmet I remember:

I was in Arkansas with my family. There were quartz crystal points lying on the ground and we were picking them up. They were all clean, unlike the ones you dig up from the mines.


Dream in the morning:

I was seated in a large building, I'm guessing as a member of the audience. My sister was sitting to my left. I had my iPad and was looking at everything through the camera view. At first I saw that there were what looked like thousands of people in auditorium seating. I think there was some sort of graduation ceremony, and a small group of people sitting in one corner were dressed in green dinosaur suits. They were picking up their awards or diplomas or whatever.

The next time I looked around the space, however, it was more like a library than an auditorium. A gorgeous, ornate library like one would expect to see in a royal palace or the Vatican. The atmosphere also changed from what had seemed to be educational to a more political one.

I was watching Peanuts on my iPad. Snoopy and Woodstock were leaving the house by sitting on plants that would stretch out their leaves to get them out the door. Woodstock's plant didn't stretch nearly far enough and he fell. He was starting to try again, with the plant closer to the door this time, when from behind him, Snoopy's plant grew a very long leaf and Snoopy was able to get out of the house (no idea why they couldn't just walk out!)

A Polish man who looked to be about 50 sat down in the seat to my right. He asked if it was alright if he lit his cigarette. I don't like smoke, and also didn't think it was legal for him to smoke there, but it seemed easier to just say he could. My sister appeared annoyed that I'd let him smoke next to us.

Next I was in a smaller group of people and the same guy joined the group. Apparently he was somebody important.


Note: this is the third time in two weeks I've dreamt of dino suits. First it was my dad, then my parrot, and now these strangers. Weird.

Lying in the bed beside of another person. Sex not important. One could see a TV-screen with icons which were lucid (bright), however very weak. I have chosen chicken with remote control. That pleases me, but strange, I couldn't hear them.

1. [non-lucid]
Walking through a long not too busy airport hallway, with two other people (didnt notice who). The dream ended, I think because my leg began to ake and woke me or i just don't remember.

2. [non-lucid]
Sitting on the edge of the pool, someone was in the pool willing me to drop into the pool and to catch me, I decided to not drop into the pool and instead I stood up and turned, the dream ends.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing first level of Contra: Hard Corps and somebody was commenting.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was playing some game with SilentEternity that looked like new XCOM, played like old XCOM and had completely weird set of units. We were controlling each different team and at one point one of my scout units that looked like a dog had to fight enemy robot mini-tank like unit. The game was taking place in snowy place that looked like village but with a few industrial structures.
Then later i was talking with SilentEternity on skype and he was "ping testing" some videogames with weird names that looked like their author had broken caps lock, one of the game names SilentEternity mentioned was "tHE pIT".
Then i had very short false awakening about some family members entering the room and then i woke up properly.

I had a dream that i was was trying to fall asleep. I was laying on the floor in my room and i used my bag as a pillow. Then my ceiling disappeared and these really loud world war two planes started flying over my room in the sky. They started dropping bombs and i heard explosions. I started to get annoyed that by the loud noises because they prevented me from sleeping. So i wrapped the bag around my face and ears and shut my eyes and tried to go to sleep. Then even more planes flew over and my room started to expand all the objects in my room stayed the same size but the space between the objects got bigger and bigger until i could no longer see them. Then my room started to fill up with water. Soon i was hundreds of feet under water. All that remained of my room was my bed and my carpeted floor. The water was clear but it had a bluish green tint. i could still see the planes dropping bombs when i looked up but they sounded much quieter and they were slightly distorted from the water. I started to see a submarine slowly emerge from the distance. It was very large and it was covered in a dull silver metal. It was actually kind of beautiful. I kicked off the ground and started to swim towards the surface when the submarine started firing torpedoes in my direction. They looked like they were going in slow motion as they cut through the water. They were going slow so they were easy to dodge. Then i stopped swimming and floated down to the bottom of the ocean. I had just reached the ground when the massive submarine glided over me. It was surprisingly quiet. The sounds were muffled by the water. I heard bubbles and an engine and dull low creaks of metal. The submarine got so close to me that it almost touched my face. I blinked and then i rolled over and when i opened my eyes i was back on the floor in my room. I got off the floor and crawled into bed where i quickly fell asleep, only to be awakened by my mother who was trying to feed my grapes while i slept. When i asked her why she did this she replied because i dint eat enough during the day. I went back to sleep but soon i awoke to my mom feeding me grapes again so i got out of bed and went upstairs to my dads room. Up there i started to think about outer space end if life could exist in zero gravity. I walked outside and began to float. I floated next to the shrubs at my house and got higher and higher until i reached my shed. Then i realized life couldn't exist in zero gravity because there wouldn't be any air or water to sustain it. Then i quickly transitioned into outer space some how. I floated lazily with the stars. I could see the moon to my left and straight ahead was stars and space. A comet flew by and i began to wonder if life could exist on it. Creatures could be dormant in ice until the comet got close to the sun and then the water would melt and the animals would wake up and be alive. Then i noticed that i had drifted to a small icy planet. It was mostly dark blue and purple but it had other light shades of blue and white. I thought it was pluto but i woke up before i was sure.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in some kind of platformer game and the location was the castle.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was in video game and i was some kind of dungeon master, i was controlling various creatures from top-down view. Alot of dungeon was like made of wood or something similar. There were other dungeon masters that were controlling different aspects of dungeon. Also one of the creatures i controlled had the ability to put enemies into various sleep-like states.

This morning i dreamt that i was sitting on this large navy blue spiral which was floating in a river, there were these two comedians (from a tv show i watched last night) with me and they each had their own floating spiral that they were sitting on. We were just talking shit, smoking and they were telling jokes. Eventually i got bored and tried to leave my spiral, but i was stuck to it. I propelled myself forward with all my strength and dived off it. It splashed behind me and the comedians told me it was okay, they knew they were boring and they had nothin better to do that smoke ciggies and talk shit, so i should go ahead.
I swam further down stream and noticed there was a huge cylindrical haystack in the water. On top of it were these two little girls, one blonde, one brunette, both around 4-5 years old. They were stuck on top of it and frantically called out for me to help them.
I dug my fingers into the hay and struggled up to the top, it was very unstable and the edges were starting to crumble away. Suddenly a man appeared at one side of the river bank, which was roughly the same height as the haystack although about 2-3 metres away from us.
He was the father of the little girls and he had been trying to work out how to get them down from the hay bale.
I offered to "pass" his daughters to him, so he held out his arms. I picked up the little brunette girl and threw her in the direction of her father, she floated gently through the air and her father grabbed her with one arm. Then i threw the little blonde girl to him, she also floated smoothly through the air, and he grabbed her with the other arm. He had one daughter in each arm and i watched apprehensively as he lost his balance and teetered towards the edge. I sent a mental wave of energy which pushed them back from the edge, then i jumped off from the hay stack and continued further down the river, just letting it take me with the current.
Soon a large stone monolith came into view on the river bank. I leapt from the water onto the stone, and climbed it just like my cat climbs trees, i felt like i had claws that could dig into the stone, but when i glanced at my hands they looked normal. I crouched at the apex of the monolith and surveyed the landscape around me, it was a beautiful green countryside with large twisted trees dotted throughout a vibrant green meadow.
I felt at peace and satisfied, and the last thing i remember was climbing back down the monolith, hugging my body close to it as i edged down ( once again, just like my cat does)
