non-lucid

Dream 1:

I was on some island in the middle of the swamp, and there was an base. I was with the team, we called ourselves 'ESP' and we all had special abilities of some kind. We worked as mercenaries, but only with people who had 'correct beliefs' about our abilities. Some people contacted us and we went on some missions on different island which was in the middle of the ocean and there was also some kind missile silo there.
After the mission we were back on our island-base and we had a long discussion about abilities and missions. Some other people decided to contact us but they were acting like they didn't had 'correct beliefs' and we started throwing random stuff into their boat. Shortly we had nothing to throw, so i went to grab more stuff and for some reason one of the things i grabbed was shower, which was on as well.
On my way i had weird sensation and i spontaneously realize that i am dreaming, suddenly i am back at my room, but i still have shower in my hand. The water felt... really nice and was kinda fascinated by that sensation. I looked around and decided to try to summon something. Was not very successful, but i managed to randomly turn a random shadow into an physical shadowy hand. Then i looked at my own shadow and apparently it didn't had a head( )/ Shortly dream faded out and i woke up.

Dream 2:

I was playing some platforming game, which was happening in some dark place and i was controlling a bunch of characters through it. At times it was switching from 2D to 3D and back and there was also weird zooming going on. There was an section with some weird platforms that looked like combination of skeletal parts and stone, and they only appeared after an special condition was met, which opened the way to the secret exit too. Also there was an section where characters were traveling on some kind of railway platform/transport through cave.
The game was getting harder and at some points it was getting almost IWBTG hard with enemies suddenly and quickly appearing out of the walls and almost no space to dodge them. The levels as well were getting more organic, i especially recall passage where there were some big insectoid things with tentacles moving in and out of walls.
Later on, there was an final chamber, the game went into 3D and the final boss walked in. It looked like some arachnid thing and it had a face. We defeated it and the place started crumbling apart and then dream faded out.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was browsing dreamviews and was discussing lucid dreaming and shared dreaming with someone. Then we decided to go for an attempt.
The dream switched to some game that looked like AI War, but we had lots of overpowered units.
Then i woke up, and for some reason i was sure that i was lucid that dream(I never realized that i was dreaming at any point, also forgot to RC again ) and i went to discuss it with person i was discussing shared dreaming with before(can't recall who though).

The idea is that I'm at either my house or a neighbor's house with my friends. It's me, moo, kolby, and mason. We are idealy on the outside of the house on this huge deck that overlooks a forest on the right and an open field to the center and left. Moo and Kolby are on the right side of the deck that wraps around the house and it's in front of the forest. In the dream there isn't really much perception of being outside and inside the house, it's mostly switching from them both. Moo and Kolby are packing a mini bong and they plan on smoking it. Mason and I are on the center part of the deck about to jump off into the field. Out of nowhere comes this girl named Kerstin and she starts talking to us. Mason disregards her and continues to run off the deck. The way of floating into the field safely is by tying arm bands onto your phone sort of like a mini parachute. He jumps off but realizes he only has one band so he falls pretty quickly but lands safely. I take my two bands and jump off and float into this huge field and I'm having a really fun time.

Suddenly, I'm back on the deck and I turn inside to see Moo and Kolby running from a room in the house coughing smoke. They are laughing saying that my mom and neighbors are outside on the right side of the deck and they walk in. I teleport to outside of the house that's now my old house that I lived in IRL. My dad's dogs are in my front lawn (my parents are divorced but live 1 mile away) so I decide to take them home and also get a blanket from my dad's house to use as a parachute. I start to run but then realize this will take too long so I see my car behind me and jump in. The dogs and I get to the house and I start to look through baskets in his garage for a blanket. All of them are way too long so I go inside to look. I end up in a room that isn't usually a bathroom, but is for the dream. There's a huge shower and some guy is on the top of it yelling things. Also, one of my neighbors that's really young is crying and the guy is telling him to shut up.

My friend from residence, Aimee was in the passengers seat of my car. I was driving down the freeway and turned onto the off-ramp. Around the curve of the off-ramp was a giant jumping ramp that was multicolored with grains of black asphalt. The End

(I wrote down that it had something to do with Cuba but I don't remember why)

Friday, 4/26/13

last night bed 12;30 - 8am

DR: I'm in a large house. Some people are harrasing us and coming to the house, trying to get in. I'm in a yard when a guy in red t-shirt riding on a horse breaks through and gets in. Somehow we get them to leave and I'm looking for a 4x4 or baseball bat to have some weapon for next time.

Fell asleep later than planned, had to wake up fast, no time to WBTB.

Fragment1: My old school again!

Fragment2: Backstreet boys, Nick from BSB

Fragment3: something Japanese

Fragment4: My alarm goes on, it looks like JoannaB has set the alarm on my phone, because she wanted to help me.

Dream5: I am at our old home, getting ready, walking around in a hurry. I open my mom's drawer and examine what's inside. Some fancy looking bottles full of liquid beauty herbs. I remember when we bought those, but she still hasn't drank them. (We bought them in another dream about two months ago!) Then there is a small jewelry box, I open it and there is diamond ring inside. I am thinking how my mom always buys stuff she doesn't use or need.

A dream and a fragment.

Dream 1: I was in some grocery store, with some friends/family of mine. We walked around and left it. Then, we began heading to our car - and suddenly there was a sharp pain in my right knee. I said something about not being able to lean backwards or I'll fall over.

We get into the car, and we see some building called "The Hardcore Cup" I think - apparently some kind of restaurant, and it was shaped like a blocky wine glass, and I could hear something akin to death metal being played. I also remember someone saying that particle accelerators were no longer pointless in cars.

Then, I remember riding in the passenger seat - but I don't remember us actually pulling out of the parking lot. I apparently had a phone with Skype, and sent a message to my father with some quote from a user named "greenhorn" which was also apparently me, or some such.

There was more, but unfortunately I only barely remembered this as I'm typing this entry up.

Dream 2 (fragment): We had entered some unidentified tomb, apparently - which had either a rough circular or octagonal shape. There was something about a "lord of death" or some such, who entered the room we were in through an opening in the walls. He was wearing something resembling Space Marine armor. He also had some kind of necklace, with three dials on it that spun like a slot machine. I remember someone saying that they came to serve this lord of death, and said lord of death caused the three dials to spin, and they landed on skulls.

Dream recall from today's naps.

I was playing some fraxy stage and there was final boss, background looked like some grey construction from girders in space and the boss looked like some mix of mecha and spaceship hanger base. It had six attachments, three on the each side, that acted as drone launchers and turrets, and during some parts of pattern they were extending offscreen. It was attacking by launching small drone ships vertically from the attachments as well as shooting series of twin projectiles from them. During the fight the music was some mix of Dark Bowser's theme with some RefleX sounding tune. The fight itself had three phases but i can only recall first one in detail sadly, only thing i recall other than that is that on later phases background became more red. Also the boss had pretty glitchy animations which sometimes were going out of sync with the attack.

The very very rough reference pic: http://imgur.com/nqSE453 , drew in roughly 30-60 seconds just in case if i will want to use design somewhere.

This one was pretty awesome... I remember it starting at my house, in my bedroom. I had just woken up from bed in the dream. I went down to a train station or something to look for clues, and I didn’t have a gun either, which apparently, I guess I was supposed to. I remember meeting a girl down there and she gave me this message from my girlfriend saying “help”, and that’s how I knew I had to go save her. So me and another one of my friends, who also happened to be a girl (haha), went to this random big building on a street corner. Inside there was a big white room but nobody was in it. There was a doorway at the other end of the room though and after that, there was a huge room filled with people who looked like soldiers, plus a few guys dressed in suits. This is probably the highest number of dream characters I have ever seen at one time. I obviously wasn’t supposed to be caught by them, but they didn’t care so far. I remember going into the doorway and shouting at them like I was staff there at the building. Stuff like “Hey, how you guys doin’?” or “You got everything ya need?” things like that. They all approved of me and didn’t suspect anything. After that, I went into a room next to this one, and oddly enough, there was bowls of Cheetos everywhere on tables, although they were darker than Cheetos should be, but not that much darker. I remember picking up a Sub Machine Gun of some sort, and then sneaking it out of the building and giving it to my friend, who had stayed outside. She said “Oh, sweet, you got it?” or something like that. So part of the mission was to get a gun, and then to rescue my girlfriend. This was so cool too, I want there to be a second part...

i am going to post the notes i took apon waking for this because the full thing i wrote was lost and havent had the time to rewrite it all.

Cult leader in room. Vince Vaughn and another an Irish man. Leader was like I know two of you have killed to be here and one of you has faked it. Then he make the Irish man open up his pillow case. No knife = no kill so the cult leader killed him. And a family of four pulled up to the abandonded underground fortress. He would probably kill them too. Mom and dad sent us to this camp but it was in Europe it was hardcore. We had nothing. They too us to get naked in a room with another two brothers. They have us bed ad we did it. We slept. The next day they allowed us to go into the city. We did. We found so much money over four hundred. When we got home I had to take shirt off money in all my waist. I tried hiding but main guy took it. Took four hundred. Went to bed next night he had people over. Went on like this for a while. Mom and dad finally came but they were the people. Then told us we went there a lot as kids. We were outside on the farm land scooting out on these cliffs with dirt riffs we got down to the bottom and went to this very modern art museum. Uncle ray was looking to buy a tv there. In uncle rays house. Actually while we at art thing auntie Cathy left a video cry for help on the security system. So I went over to Florida house. She took me and we hid fast bc they all came in but it was partiers. Then this witch came through the door and auntie Cathy was the only one who could defeat her. The witch made the group of partiers chant some thing that would make the house start on fire.

if you would help me in decoding this it would be of great help. it is a very important dream. thank you, -reed

Since my lucid dream I haven't really been able to remember my dreams properly anymore. I don't know if that is because I forcefully wake up for the WILD or if I just wake up at the wrong time. Anyway, with some effort I managed to remember some fragments of dreams I had yesterday.

Fragment 1:

I'm at my university in Delft, The Netherlands, and there is a guy there who teaches wing chun kung fu nearby. I tell him that my father is currently following wing chun classes and all of a sudden, this guy starts fighting me. It doesn't hurt and I think he's trying to show me the power of kung fu to convince me to start learning it as well. I can't stop his attacks and I can't remember what happened next.

Fragment 2:

I'm in a public transportation bus and I apparently know the driver. His destination will change as soon as he reaches his last stop, so I decide to ride the bus all the way there, because I would need this bus in the other direction anyway. Next thing I remember is that we're at a bus stop and the driver doesn't drive away at my request, because apparently a bag full of my stuff is outside on the sidewalk. I spot a friend of mine, Yan Fai, and ask him to hand me the bag. Apparently he's a smartass in my dream, because he takes the stuff out of the bag and literally only hands me the bag, whilst laughing. I laugh with him and tell him to hand me the bag with all the stuff in it. So he does and I ask him why he doesn't just ride the bus, seeming he's walking in the same direction the bus is going anyway. He refuses and keeps on walking. My memory of the dream ends here.

Fragment 3:

I'm in my room, and I downloaded something onto my laptop, and saved it on my desktop, something I never do. Apparently it's not something I want anyone to see, especially not anyone at home. Still my screen is facing the open door of my bedroom, and my little sister walks in and asks what those two things are on my laptop. I quickly respond woth something, I can't remember what, and I feel as if I'm busted, yet not completely. The icons of the data I downloaded are both pink and have manga characters on them I think. That's all I remember.

These were the three fragments I could remember, I wish I could have remembered more. Tonight I will definitely succeed!

Total sleep time: 8 hrs

After 3 nights of lucid marathon, it seems like my body needed to run the restore program so I got into very deep sleep tonight. I didn't wake up naturally or if I did I was most likely unconscious. It felt like I had spent more time in NREM sleep. When my WBTB alarm rang, I was so deeply asleep, I was wondering what the hell is going on. Decided I would rather sleep. Anyways, felt the sleep was very restorative. Here are some fragments I could recall.

Fragment1: An elevator and the shaft. I almost fall there, but luckily for me it is filled with junk so if I were to fall at least I wouldn't hurt myself. A girl from school that we used to mock appears near the elevator and reminds me of things we have done to her, but those things never happened in real life.

Dream2: I am in the place of a friend1, who now lives with his sister. On the TV screen is some version of an old favorite game of mine. The sister tells me it's a different game. I must leave the apartment and take some stuff which is mine. In a plastic bag with my two bottles they have put newspapers so that I throw the trash on my way out. I don't like their attitude so once I leave their apartment I take out all the newspaper trash from the bag and make a nice heap in front of their door.

The plastic bag is actually theirs and not mine? I take some stuff that belongs to his sister and his bottle of initially vodka, then white wine! I head home, but know my friend1 will be after me to get back his stuff. On my way home I see another friend who is hanging out with some young problem individuals. I am trying to run but I am so slow. Someone then pushes me from behind, so I actually speed a bit. I think it is my friend1 but it is some random DC with yellow jogging outfit. I soon see my friend1 is already on the street in front of me, he is not happy about the whole situation.

Lol, I really have to stop dream stealing things!

Fragment3: This was a very cool dream where I was communicating with a dog. Unfortunately, I don't remember much of it, just the feeling of being fascinated.

Not much recall again, probably because again got to sleep later than usual.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was playing some RTS game and there was some kind of zoo.

Dream 2(fragments):

There was some platformer game that later turned into 3D maze with brown walls and then there was boss fight in some kind of metallic area.

Sitting on the porch of an old cabin, there are others here. They feel comfortable, normal, familiar. I don't see their faces, but I know they're there and they're friends.

The paint chips from the cabin, it once was white and now a dull chipped grey. I have Zilla on my lap (my dog) we're peaceful looking off into the mountains.

The sun is setting over the mountains, a nice combination of colours ranging from yellow to orange to pink to red.

Off into the distance I see a light blue emitting from just behind the mountains. I hear gasps of panic behind me. Then a loud crashing follows the now dark blue sphere engulfing the mountain side.

I get nervous, Then realize an electrical bomb was set off.

Everyone starts running, I start running. I make it off the porch and just behind the cabin before I'm in another scenery. Everyone is running into the ocean.

I feel sand crunching beneath my feet. The water rushes in

I'm electrocuted and have this odd feeling that we're all irradiated.

Oh yeah, and dead.

First time I've died by being electrocuted.

well i made it to the castle in a non lucid dream. parts of it was hazy but im sure its safe to say i made it. i started out walking along the castle wall berier i looked at the outline of the wall and it surrounded the castle in a circle or oval shape i didnt get a good look at the castle but it was there. also there were stairs and ladders in certen spots on the inward side of the wall. there were some stairs in the middle of it too that led to some rooms or an under ground passage or portals to the inside of the castle not sure which one though. i was on my way to a meeting or something and after walking the path on top of the wall i went down a set of stairs that went into the wall. once i got to the bottom i dont remember what happend but i apeared in a castle room. it looked like a modern day class room sort of. although there were no desks just some circle and sqaur tables with chairs. there were book shelves against a stone wall with posters or paintings on it. the floor had white tile and the lighting was dim other then that i dont remember what els was around. i saw a lady that looked like my older sister bloned hair with glasses. im not sure if it was her or not. she was there to tell my dream past and dream future so to speak, with a deck of cards. the cards were holographic and the pictures moved. i couldnt make them out very well though. i dont remember much after that exept that she pulled out a card that folded out into a map of an island and said we are here. lol well that was my short visit to the dwa castle. i will try when lucid to see where those stairs do lead to and/or explore more of the castle i will also try to meet some cheracters that dont seem or look like some one i know.

April 24
To bed around 10pm

Around 3am headache continues from evening - woke up with headache

In my dream my husband and I were working n same company on same project. It was New Year's Eve, and my husband was away on a business trip. I got to see him though through video conference at company party. I could see him but he could not see me. I was a bit sad. (Side note: This makes sense because my husband had a work conference call in the evening, so work infringed on family time.)

Same dream different scene? there was an improper design to our system, where something that should be in one table was in two for older data, but not for newer, and I had at first suggested that this be fixed. But then when we established that some functionality was actively using accessing these tables,we discovered that this could not be fixed. Someone I actually collaborate with but in different role, nickname Bow Tie, was trying to accommodate this change, and then found out that it could not be done, but then forgot, but then got reminded. I explained it further, and he remembered. (This makes a bit of sense in that we now have some things that are illogical at work but are in use, so this could be a warning that fixing them may not be a good idea? Or maybe just my mind realizes the difficulty of fixing things while in use, and questions whether it is worth the risk of breaking things even more.)

There was more to this dream. It was long, vivid and convoluted. What does not make sense to me is why my mind insisted these two are part of the same dream - they appear separate.)
