non-lucid

Dream recall from today's naps. I dunno what's up with dream length recently, maybe just bad REM timing or something.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was doing something at home then i went to bed. After a while i suddenly start having weird sensation, i open the eyes but before i can do anything else i wake up.

Dream 2(fragment):

I wake up and i am thinking about something then i take off headphones, still hearing binaural beats, thus realizing that i am dreaming, but dream fades out.

Dream 3(fragment):

I wake up and take off headphones, binaural beats still playing so i am dreaming, i get up and rub hands but suddenly the view goes weird and i can't move, dream fades out.

Dream 4:

I was in my bed trying to fall asleep, but suddenly dad came into the room and started making alot of noise walking around and annoying me. I pretended to be asleep but he started trying to wake me up saying something about windows. He then left and i opened eyes, there were alot of windows in the room, all open. Then dream ended.

Dream 1: I remember only the end part, but at least I remembered most of it.

I was in our pool, playnig tag with my cousins, but our people was different. There was these platforms at sides of our pool, it was of a black metal. It stretched about 1 metre from the side over the pool, still at ground level. It had railings, same metal as the platform, It had vertical bars of metal and a metal cylinder fused at the top for grip. The cylinder had these black switches, it looked like black light switches found in your house. All of them where marked numerically "R1, R2, R3, R5 etc". Each switch teleports you somewhere in the pool or on the platform. While in the dream I thought if they were safe, like you wouldn't teleport onto something, then I thought, obviously it is, if it isn't he would never have them. I used these switched to teleport away from my cousin who was IT. At the last moment my cousin stripped her of her clothes and ran around on the platfrom as if we where still playing. Then I woke up.

I could've DEILD easily, but it never came to mind. When I awoke I was pefectly still with my eyes closed. I thought about what the hell I just dreamed about. Soon I fell asleep again.

Dream 2: I was on a large space ship, I was infront a heavy door. This was a video game, I could feel they Playstation controller in my hands, but I looked at no screen, I was watching in third person normally like in the game. I played as the four penguinsd from madagascar, I could switch control of of the current penguin to the next. Before opening the door I switched control among them and tried out their attacks separately. I decided to stay Kowalski (or however you spell it) and I opened the door. On the other side was a mini hall with another heavy door closed at the other end. The hall was packed with enemies. THey looked like a mechanical goo type thing, the lesser enemies had a green glowing disc for an eye, the middle was black like it's skin, it had these green circuit lines glowing across their bodies. Thei had no arms and had penguin-like feet. The larger enemies looks about the same but looked more shark-like. It stood on two legs and aslo had such a disc eye. It appeared to aslo have a fin on it's back. It bulked like a cartoon shark standing on legs. They also had teeth, though I can't remember how it looked. I used normal attacks like X and Square on the controller, they blocked it easily, then I pressed Triangle to see what happens. It was a much more faster attack, Kowalski used nunchucks in this attack. I easily swatted them it, ocassionally kowalski punched their nerves and flipped them upside down orogami style. While some lay vunerable like this I stabbed Triangle in quick succesion. On the bottom of my 'screen' I could see the Triangle siggn appearing like an combo, then it showed to go forward-down and press Triangle. I did this huge nerve punching and orogami folding-flipping move on one of them. Then I just whacked them all with rthe nunchucks untill their dead. I approached the door on the other side, with the other penguins following me. For some reason the penguins ahd horrible model quality put the enemies had these amazing quality. One of the shark creatures was stuck in the door, it had closed while he tried entering. He said,"Mind helping me?" I opened the door. "Thanks! you can go further on..I'll just follow closely behind." He sounded a bit shy but not at all evil. I moved left to another corridor. One of the lesser enemies scampered past me forwards. It had a yellow glowing halo above his head, though i could see a extension of something taped to it's back holding it up. I was curious to know what these things were. So I open the menu, It looked like Mass Effect's menu. I opened the codex and started searching from the bottom. I came across something else that looked interesting, though I thoughtt that those things would be in there. It said somethnig about Galaxy, I can't remember. I saw 3 things, first one I opened (can't remember all their names.) It showed a small explosion in space(it only showed a video, now narrative or description), but it soon became larger and eventually our galaxy's tendrils spread out from it and shaped our galaxy. For some reason this was overwhelming and I quickly switched to the next. I can't remember what the other two was, but I remember, after watching the other two videos I scrolled up to find the creature's file. I didn't have the chance to find it because my dad woke me up. Back on the road we go...

Most of what I wrote below is what I wrote at the time.

"Dec. 12th - Dec. 13th

I've been playing "The Saboteur" A lot lately. But anyway, The part I distinctly remember is when a Nazi standing in a checkout lane at Walmart told me to stop doing something in my awake life. I was lucid dreaming at the time too and I actually told him that I knew I was dreaming. I asked him to keep talking and he did. I don't feel like sharing all of the details. "

(Now I do feel like sharing; This was speaking of mas--------on, Fill in the blank.)

Next entry:

"Dec. 21st-22nd (I'm guessing...)

I remember a wedding at one part that went weird. The best man put the ring (Which was like a hoop earring) On his nose, I think the bridge took it off his nose and then saw it wasn't a wedding ring and ran off."

I also wrote this little note later:

"(Bridge? Did I mean Bride?)"

Note - "His nose" = The best man's nose.

Third dream:

"Dec. 22nd-23rd (If you count falling asleep after midnight the 22nd)

At one part I was Frodo Baggins in the Prancing Pony. It was weird, It went similar to the lines of the movie - Pippin said "Sure I know a Baggins, He's over there" And I may have went over to him. I'm not sure exactly how it all went, Some parts may have repeated but when I got the ring on I couldn't get it off and the eye was rather far away.

What the heck is it with golden rings in my dreams lately? "

This is what I wrote shortly after I had this dream:

"Great, I missed a few days and forgot some dreams.

Dec. 11th - Dec. 12th (Presumably)

I can't remember the order of how these things happened. I remember being at a curved wide path that was near the sea, Then at one part in my mom's bedroom she was taking one of my favorite music CDs, "Challengers" by The New Pornographers out of a CD player and she broke it after it was out of the player. The label wasn't correct on the CD, It had the album cover artwork on it. Then, the fragments of the CD were on the path and I found them near a rock. Later, There was a Bioshock 2 part and a whole room got flooded. I was presumably a Big Daddy without a helmet because I was looking for air. I looked and found some air but not much. Then, I think a little sister came up to me while I was still underwater and I adopted her, But I had a second op[tion - To set her attitude. I think I chose Y, Whatever that did. She said "If you want a specific attitude, You've got it" And disappeared. Then, I looked in a white fridge and there isn't much I can remember here except a dead dead bug or two that was trying to get to the ice cream compartment (That was on the fridge door) And there were also some little sister paintings or stickers below the dead bugs and a voice talked about the ice cream sandwiches. I opened the ice cream compartment, I'm not sure if I took any ice cream or not though. Then the last part I definitely remember was finding a 5 gallon water jug. I think I stuck my head in it and then took my head out and started filling it up with air, I may have been lucid dreaming at this point but I think I may have woken up right after this too."

Notes:

The ice cream compartment was on the fridge door.

I think at the time, It was fairly recent when we'd started to get Mountain Valley Water so that's partially where the glass jugs come into play.

Note added July 21, 2013: I had more than one dream involving Bioshock. Sometimes I'd be riding a cart from one section of Rapture to another and sometimes the darn track was broken underwater including the glass air tunnel, Leaving me to see a trip from one part of the track to the other off a rail!

That which is written below was written at the time. I posted my recollection of my December 8th dream and December 9th dream in the same reply to a thread on a different forum.

(This is copied from a forum I frequent and the dreams from the night prior were posted in the same reply)

Dec. 8th - Dec. 9th

AAAGH I forgot parts and I had it fresh in my mind until I typed about the dreams I had yesterday! Anyway, At one point I realized I was dreaming and I think this may have been my first successful lucid dream! Anyway, Here's the parts I remember...

In a store of some sort, Some woman told me to go away and I told her something like "I'm the star of the show here, It's my dream!" And she ignored me.

Then, Later I was in an area with picnic tables with my parents (I think) And I had a Gibson Explorer Reverse guitar. Oddly though I was calling it a Firebird even though I know from the shape that it was an Explorer! (The two guitars are similar to one another) Then Phil X comes out of nowhere and I offer him the opportunity to play my guitar and he did, Then he starts talking about the guitar. That part was awesome.

Next, I think my parents were going on a trip and I was running alongside the van until it turned into a Team Fortress 2 Gravel Pit "A" style area and someone stopped me.

From there on it turned into more of a nightmare. I'm not sure of everything that happened, However I was still lucid dreaming to a point and I was in a prison like place. The people in cells were dead, dying or should have been dead. I remember at one part I went in a cell and someone was in a big box with an air hose. I opened the box to find a small skeleton that was similar to a lizard. I told him he should just die and so he did. Later, I thought I woke up because my mom woke me up going through the room but instead it was a false awakening. I went back to dreaming, I remember thinking that I wouldn't be able to lucid dream then but I may have kept on lucid dreaming. I'm not sure of the details from here on.

Anyway... I watched the Harry Potter Half Blood Prince movie yesterday so that may have had a bit of an effect on the last part...

All of these are what I wrote at the time.

Dec. 5th - I remember dreaming up some guitar riff that I liked but can't remember.

Dec. 6th - I can't remember much except that at one point an Xbox Live friend (Who removed me from her friends list) Was suddenly on my friends list again. I'll try to remember more.

December 7, 2009

The earliest part I remember is where I was punching Andy Partridge of the band XTC for whatever reason. I can't imagine why other than to get attention from him. Anyway, Two of his band mates (One who's name was Roger, Who doesn't exist but may have been a stand in for Dave Gregory because my dad's name is Dave, The other who I assume was Colin Moulding) Helped him out and started attacking me. Then Roger threw an explosive soda pop can (I read the manual for Zombies Ate My Neighbors before I fell asleep) And I went to stand on it but it didn't blow up. Then Andy gave me an offer to go for a drive with him and I took up the offer, Hoping to pick up my best friend on the way (Who got me into the band XTC in the first place and who lives several states away from me in reality) And I started talking about Andy's music, How my best friend got me into XTC and how I'm glad he did and how I'm going to get six more XTC albums this Christmas. Then, All of a sudden Andy turned into my dad by the next time I looked at him and details start getting a bit fuzzy around here. Our car went flying past an intersection once, Almost hitting a bus which was driving on the wrong side of the road. After we stopped past the intersection we came to the conclusion that we couldn't have stopped in time for the intersection. Maybe WE were driving on the wrong side though because Andy Partridge lives in the UK? Anyway, Other than driving around this part of the dream ends here.


Part 2

This turned into a Left 4 Dead 2 style dream. In a Swamp Fever style area I ended up being the last survivor, Who seemed to be similar to Ellis and Nick. My teammates died, I got away from a zombie horde and I'm guessing that I was going to rescue the survivors from a closet or something but instead I was holding a cheeseburger on a plate, Then there was a picture of the burger on the plate and it was the last thing I saw before I woke up.


Dec. 7th - Dec. 8th

The earliest part I remember is when my dad and I were in a trailer court. The reason for this is likely because earlier this year we found a guy's wallet and returned it to him and he lived in a trailer court. Anyway, IWe may have been there to return the wallet in my dream but the earliest pert I definitely remember is when we went to visit some woman in a one room trailer that had windows all over every wall. There was also a mattress or two, Maybe three on the floor and all her stuff was on the floor since she had nowhere else to put it. I don't think there was a door, it was just always open. Anyway, After I left it turned into a Modern Warfare 2 meets Zombies Ate My Neighbors style game, Only instead of there being a bunch of monsters there were just chainsaw guys. So we're in this trailer park meets scrapyard level place and I'm just playing the game... And that's it for this part of the dream.

Part 2

This was a Scooby Doo on Zombie Island style dream. I can't remember much about it except maybe being outside for a bit then going to the sacrifice room, Then going to the staircase that has a passage underneath it that leads to the sacrifice room... And then maybe seeing the Scooby Doo gang in there...

Below in between the quotation marks is what I wrote at the time.

"Dec. 4

The only parts I remember are towards the end. It was in a park near a bay of water and a bank was going to be built there. A kid and Shaquille O'Neal (I think it was Shaq, I can't be sure... Does this remind you of the "Kazaam" Movie?) Didn't like it so Shaq went in at night to presumably destroy the place before it was finished being built. Unfortunately for him, He was caught by a watchman or someone who chased him out the door and Shaq's legs were caught in a tape measure as he was lowered down from the door (Where there used to be a path) And he was being shocked by electricity. It actually felt to me like he was being shocked too. Weird... "



The path was a dirt path. I'm not sure how far he was "Lowered down".

Below in-between the quotation marks is what I wrote at the time.

"Now, for December 3, 2009.

Again, I don't remember all parts. The earliest part I remember right now is my best friend was at my house and I advised him not to step in dog dirt in the hallway as he went to bed. Then, At one part I thought A. C. Newman, Lead man for The New Pornographers (My favorite band) Wrote the song Electric Version Because he visited the town where I live. This is absolutely ridiculous because none of my favorite bands ever come within 50 miles of here, I live in Nowhere, Pennsylvania... Later, I had a lucid dreaming part but it didn't last long and I had trouble moving. I didn't make it far before I either woke up or stopped lucid dreaming.

More to come. "

My dog did do that in the hallway in waking life.

I now don't think it's so ridiculous that perhaps Carl Newman did write the song because he visited here; I don't know if he did or not.

The LD part was fairly early for me. I was stepping around outside, Excited to move and I think I may have fallen down in the dream.

Between the quotation marks is what I wrote at the time.

"December 2, 09

Dream 1

Oh no, I forgot parts. All I remember is it was similar to a black and white film in an underground house, I also remember 5 gallon glass water jugs (I think this was just thrown in because water was delivered to my house yesterday and two of them jugs had somewhat defective lids) And a group of people, There were two people who lived in the underground house too and I don't think they wanted the group of people to leave. Later, After the group left by going up an elevator it was like in some sort of carnival and different people were walking around trying to escape or leave One girl was in late 1800s/early 1900s Victorian attire and was carrying a parasol. It ended with white paths on a black background...

Dream 2

This started at a resort somewhere and there was a lake. I have a "Sims 2" feeling from this but just a bit. Anyway, A modified version of XTC's song "Making Plans For Nigel" Was playing in the background. It was like "We're only making plans for Rachel" And this Rachel person was a blonde. She went to this lodge and there were several guys there, Apparently they kidnapped her sister who had dark hair. Rachel said "I don't have that much money" And her sister, Being held by a kidnapper and standing behind a doorway, Was like "Bulls*it You have like a million!" As she realized she shouldn't have said that. (Doesn't this seem just a bit like the movie "Romancing The Stone"?) Then the kidnappers started negotiating or something. Then, It seemed like time froze except for one of the kidnappers who was getting scared that he was stuck frozen in time. Then, it went back in time until he was about 10 years old (Although he looked like he was about 5 from how tall he was) And he was standing in either a gym or basketball court. I think he realized what happened then he broke a baseball bat or had a fit, Then he sat down next to a kid referee who had no legs and he started expressing to him what happened. I woke up during this part, Saying the same words that the "Kidnapper" was saying. "I was older... I was stronger..."

I don't recall meeting many people by the name of Rachel shortly prior to this dream.

What's in between the quotation marks is what I wrote shortly after having this dream.

"Nov. 30 09 - Dec. 1 09*

I can't remember all the parts of this one.

Part 1... I remember being at a park, Or maybe it was a ranch. Anyway, There were lots of dead leaves and there were some fences and maybe a few trees. The only thing I seem to remember that happened there is a part about Reed's Ginger Ale.

Part 2... In a basement, There were a few bits that were similar to The Sims 2 as in placing objects here and there. Then, I was in the basement and I turned a TV on to watch music videos with my dad. The Offspring's "Self Esteem" (** That's a Music video) Came on. There were two vampires in the other room, Or at least it is assumed there were because I only knew their coffins were in there. (I think they were Dracula and his wife from the movie "Love At First Bite")

Part 3... It was like a top down video game like Zelda: A Link To The Past. A Werewolf, The Mona Lisa (An actual person version of the painting) And a friend of mine were there. As the Mona Lisa and my friend went into a cave there was green writing being written all over the "screen" by the werewolf, (** Even though he was walking into the cave) Who was also narrating his writing about the Mona Lisa. Then, The Werewolf went into the cave presumably to bite the Mona Lisa. Then the "Screen" Turned into a painting or something and I woke up to my alarm.

More to follow.

*I didn't fall asleep until after midnight."

I saw the coffins from a view like I would've seen them in The Sims 2

#1 - Pie Graphs? [Non-Lucid]

I was at some club somewhere where there was a big group of people, myself included, all getting excited to go on some kind of club-sponsored vacation. I'm pretty sure I had just shown up there randomly not expecting anything so I was pumped, and I ran into my high school friend O who I don't see much anymore but who I would see almost every time I ever went to a club back when I went out a lot. There were also these two girls from one of my college classes this semester with almost identical names who are friends, for the sake of this report I'll call them K-blonde and K-black for their hair colors, who there just hanging out. I was looking at this big cake that was just sitting randomly in the open with O, when K-blonde came over and grabbed my arm and pulled me off to the side.

I've like never even talked to these girls in waking life, but they both seemed like they were really digging me tonight. They were both coming on to me and I was getting into it, but then the whole scene shifted and suddenly it wasn't that we were at the club together but just that I was talking to them online, and it was mostly K-blonde now. We were just chatting for a bit and I remember thinking that it was clear that she was really attracted to me, but then the dream started to become a little unstable and the conversation took an odd turn, though it was perceived as totally normal at the time. She sent me an image of this sort of pie graph showing some of her favorite things, and for the rest of the dream I was thinking I should send one back to her with my own things, so I was trying to think of what would be best to put on it.

In the meantime, I had gone from being on the computer to driving my car down a neighborhood street. I drove by some random house and saw my own car, the car I was driving, parked in one of the garages. I didn't find this even slightly odd, and immediately took it to mean that that was K-blonde's house. However, that was really the last thought of the dream.

#2 - Body Magic [Non-Lucid]

I met up with a group of people from school, including the professor of the class we were in I believe, and we all had accounts on this one fetish site so we started talking about that as an icebreaker. The conversation took off from there and we talked about a few different things from there on, but I can't remember much of it now. What I do remember is that this 13 year old girl wanted to try to use her magic skills to hide my hair so it looked like I was bald just to see if she could, and she said it would be fine because she randomly hag wigs on her. I said okay but I was a little nervous, and this other girl there said that she wouldn't be able to do it right.

Somehow we were now in the den at my house and just hanging out on the couch and chatting. Everyone except for me and the two girls slowly disappeared. For a little bit the room got dark and I had these two weird black blobs moving around in my vision like some really bizarre hallucination, and after they went away the first girl was gone and the second had become this male magic-using cat. I was concerned about my vision and asked him if he knew any spells to make it better, and he said he did so he used. I wasn't really that sure if it actually worked or not, but I thanked him for it and I spent the rest of the dream just petting and scratching him in return. He was rolling around like he was in heaven and his body was shrinking as he was doing it, and I just remember thinking that all the oxytocin being released from this must just be making him go crazy with euphoria.

I recalled this dream upon awakening at 6am:

In this dream I took an iT class. The instructor was a feminist, and I was her favorite student.

I befriended a male fellow student, and during breaks we would go to restaurants together. he was color blind, and could not tell green and blue apart. After the final day of the course was over, he said he could not join me at a restaurant because he had other plans. I followed him for a while, but then gave up, and found a restaurant of my own to dine in.

There was too much cigarette smoke. I sat down. A little girl sat down next to me. She had a binder of art supplies, so I showed her that I also had an art supplies binder much like hers. Another girl came. She stood there next to us. She noticed a really cool sticker that was kind of 3D lying on the bench beside me. The new girl wanted to have the sticker. And the girl sitting next to me wanted it too. But there was only one sticker.

I contemplated whether to tell them that neither of them could have it because it was probably forgotten there by some other little girl who might return for it. Or whether to use Salomon's solution: suggest that we divide the cool sticker in half, and see whether either girl is willing to part with the entire sticker rather than to distort it by dividing it.

------

I could have sworn I remembered another dream at same time upon wake up, but it disappeared.

Side note: That last part of the dream made me smile because it is about such a typical parenting dilemma. I've got two boys not two girls, and in the dream the girls were not supposed to be mine, but this situation is one that as a parent I have encountered many a time: there is only one and of course both want it.

Around 12:30 (so only after first sleep cycle of the night) woke up with this dream:

It was decided that I shall have a baby, but I do not give birth but receive e baby fully formed. She is a baby girl. there are issues: too much light falling on the cradle, too much movement of the cradle contraption that she sleeps in. For a moment the baby in the contraption in light looks otherworldly.

I need to cover the baby with some sort of rigid screen so she is out of sight. To access her, I need to go around her cradle. On the other side is the bed of her Hindu nanny and the Nanny's son. The nanny accuses me of my being there means that her services are no longer needed. I reassure her that they are, but that I just need to nurse the baby. they are surprised that I wish to nurse her.

For a moment the baby seems too old to be a baby, and maybe threatening looking. She can talk! First she says she needs to go to the bathroom, but when she realizes that I meant to nurse her, she is ravished. First she latches onto my arm, apologizes, and latches onto my breast instead. I am confused as to her age. Is she a baby who can talk, or is she older and if so, should I nurse her? But why would she be that small if she is older. Andher eyes appear wiser than her apparent age.
-------
I believe this dream tone metaphorical: are my ideas old or new? Do they threaten others? Am I right to nurture these ideas? they can speak for themselves, and yet are helpless without my nurture. I think this dream was inspired by discussions of spirituality on DV.

Also I have been reading Greek mythology to my sons, and the idea of fully formed daughter (Athena) and baby that can talk (Hermes) was probably based on that.

I was playing AI War and it was somewhat different, firstly there was only one planet and secondly battles were happening at much smaller scale. It was also multiplayer campaign(Can't recall who i was playing with, but most likely SilentEternity). We had a few powerful ships and out objective was to protect the base and some mining operation, there were also some huge metallic constructions in background and the game was somewhat switching between
2D and 3D. I was placing alot of turrets(which were the only objects that looked similar to actual game) around but they were not powerful enough to stop much enemies and we had some problems later on, but in the end we built some really overpowered starship which nuked most of the enemies.
Then i was talking about the game in the dreamviews chat and people really liked it, especially JiGGa_JuStIn apparently. Then there was some talk about powering something using false awakenings or something like that( ).

I find myself in my old bed with a woman. She has brunette hair, and is pretty curvaceous. I hate using this term, but like thick, like If I got her pregnant, everything would be all over after that. Anyways, we're naked in my bed in a sideways 69 position. We're not licking, just playing with each other. I don't RC because well, nothing gross is happening.
