non-lucid

Lots and Lots of Visitors [Non-Lucid]

My first memory of the dream comes in at my house with a friend who is over here very often, N, coming over. I can't remember much of what we did exactly, but at one point he said he was going to leave to do something. At the time I was on the phone with another friend who was going to come over as well, my old best friend from childhood S, and he was saying something as N was telling me his plan so I didn't exactly catch it before he left. He left his jacket, which I'm not sure he actually has, though.

The dream jumps forward a bit in my memory and S is already over now and we've been smoking weed, and I'm trying to get my friend M to come over now too. We're hanging out in the living room with everything pretty much out in the open when the front door opens unexpectedly. S's mom, who was definitely not really his mom, comes in and she seems angry, and I hide the pipe that's in my hand but there's still weed on the table so it doesn't do much good. He gets up and ends up having to go home with her, so I'm just alone now, aside from my parents being home too.

Shortly afterward there's a knock at the door and I think it might be M, but when I go to answer it there's a large truck parked in front of the house and a lot of people I don't recognize. The guy at the door was Hispanic and, if memory serves though it may not, there was at least one more Hispanic and two white guys still idling around the truck, and all of them looked equally tough and intimidating. The guy at the door had this really mad expression and I became nervous. He started asking me if some guy, also with a Hispanic name, was here and I told him he must have the wrong house. He started muttering about payback and how he had a gun and all of this stuff, and I freaked out and closed the door but I could see through the window that he wasn't going anywhere.

I walked over to the kitchen and started telling my parents the situation very frantically while trying to figure out what to do, and I noticed N's jacket still on the couch and began to wonder where he had gone and why he isn't back yet, hoping that nothing bad had happened. My dad went to the front door and opened it again and I got kind of scared, but he started taking to the guy and invited him and a few of the others around the truck inside. He asked about their situation and found out that they were trying to get revenge on some guy who had wronged them and they had tracked him here by using some special card or something, like it looked sort of like some kind of club card in the style of a credit card, but it turned out that my parents had actually registered that card years and years ago and then given it away, so the trail didn't actually lead them to the correct place. They accepted the story and looked bummed out, and I saw the guy who had knocked at the door suddenly looking much less intimidating, and the last thing I can remember is my dad starting to apologize to them.

Strangely my last two dreams that I've remembered have been sex dreams. This one was a very basic sex dream, my wife and I in a hotel room. I won't get into details. However, at the end of all of the sex we walked out to the courtyard of the hotel totally naked, where all of the staff and such were milling about, seemingly totally unaware that there were two naked people walking about. Strange but fun dream! The recall was actually better this time than some of my previous dreams but the entry is shorter for reasons I've stated above

Morning of May 2, 2013. Thursday.

My family and I as we are now are living in a composite house which seems to be a mix of my Cubitis home in Florida, my sister Marilyn’s Loomis Street house in Wisconsin, and Gellibrand and Stadcor Streets here in Australia where my wife Zsuzsanna and our children and I have lived. Our house has two storeys like the Loomis Street house. Presently, it seems to be nighttime. I become aware that an unknown man in a car had been looking up at our house towards our second floor for several minutes. He seems to be a suspicious character. However, he turns out to be a pest control professional. He tells us that our house is being eaten by some sort of worm called a “millimau”, which is possibly a distortion of “millipede” (which is what they resemble), and “maw” for mouth. The male shows me pictures of them in a book he brought.

My wife Zsuzsanna is apparently going to take care of the payment for the removal, and a large machine of some sort is left in our house. I am curious, so I push a couple buttons on this unfamiliar machine and it turns out that it is (or serves as) some sort of very large cash register that automatically adds up supposed pest control services. The very long list of costs comes out showing something like $890.00 total. There seem to be three different printers in the device that all print out duplicates copies of the bill on a long receipt, which is like a grocery store receipt. Zsuzsanna seems a little sad and expresses that she feels cheated over it all. The price of printing the three dockets is also added to the bill, including rental of the machine. We are also annoyed as It turns out that our house has no bugs or worms of any kind at all.

Later, the man comes back in with his co-workers to talk about the removal of the millimau, which now seems to be a trick to stealthily rob our house while pretending to get rid of vermin. I clearly say, “Eh, none of that here”. I throw up my right arm, and they fall back, shrink, and merge into a stack of older photographs (mostly of open city areas) sitting on a corner of a box near our kitchen, with some of the photographs flying across the room and going under furniture and appliances, such as our refrigerator, mostly upside-down. Zsuzsanna is concerned about the mess, but we can “stack” the trapped people later but maybe just toss them into our fireplace or hold them over a candle. We become romantic and I make loving comments.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was in some kind of old bunker, i was with team and we were chasing some dude. He was activating traps on our way, but we were still following him. There was some talk about bunker's self destruction sequence.
Later on i was at home, and i was trying to play something on a... cassette player. I got it working and there was some music, but then i accidentally switched it to self destruction sequence track( ). I was trying to stop it, almost broke it, and managed to stop it in the end.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was at home and there was stuff happening, then i was watching some movie or series about a dog. Later i was chatting on the dreamviews chat and after that i decided to do a WILD nap, but was not sleepy enough so ended up lying for a while. I got up and for some reason i so wanted to get back into chat that i forgot to take off headphones. I got into chat, but i could not type anything properly, like if i was really drunk or something, and then my messages started appearing from two usernames at same time, one being just "R", other can't recall fully but it started with W. Also chat was using bright red font on black background. I am like 'Wait a second' and i take off headphones, i can still hear binaural beats so i am dreaming. I start walking towards the balcony but dream suddenly destabilizes, i rub hands but it does not works well. I can move but view zooms around instead of myself moving most of time, and when zoomed in it looks like jpeg file zoomed in. I manage to get to the wall and i decide to punch through it. My fist goes in slow motion, but once it hits, wall cracks in half. Then i feel like somebody tries to wake me up and hear dad's voice.
I woke up and dad apparently indeed woke me up for some reason, i shouted that didn't i said before to not distract me at those times. There's a second of silence and then bam, instantly, without much fading, i wake up properly.

Before I go to bed I ask my dream guide to send me to the moon (I write it in my dream journal)

Street fighter X-men

I am playing on a video game with my wife, it is basically street fighter (old style) with x-men character in it, by choosing random names we find we can create new and secret characters. I find Rogue from x-men this way - but she has been animated with a huge head and a massive stupid grin. WTF?

Raining

I am standing in a field, talking to a friend and looking out at the tranquil sky, all is clear and calm. Suddenly I see something large falling in the distance - is it as Helicopter? No, it's some sort of an animal, and more are following it. Jesus, in the distance the whole sky is filled with falling animals - wolves, dogs, dear, giraffes, I specifically spot an Okapi. This is bad, very bad. It looks like it us coming down on the town I used to live. When I get near to this town, I spot a local and ask him if he saw the animal down pour - and he just shrugs and said that he didn't

Pirates

(fragment).... I am on board a ship, struggling against someone on the ship deck - a male I think. He has a Machete close to my throat, he is saying something about how he and his men are basically mercenaries and they are heading for the Caribbean - and it is at this point that I realize they are pirates. This is a pirate ship!! This is exciting stuff The pirate is using another sword to sharpen his machete, man it looks real sharp now. He places the sword on the floor. I spot it on the floor and make a grab for it.... (not sure what happens here)

... I have the sword, now in hand looks more like a knife - it's tiny! On the main deck of the ship , toward the figurehead is planted a tree. A large new green tree planted on the pirate ship!! They must be using this to grow fruit while at sea for food. On closer inspection I can see where other pirates have hacked into the tree - testing the sharpness of their swords.

I had two other dreams that I remember from a few nights ago. The first really affected me emotionally. The details of both have left me but I still remember the gist. Somehow me and katie were in a group hanging out and having fun, then Tahlia (or some girl) broke up with Charlie Coucher so then katie took the opportunity to tell me that she thought charlie is amazing and she had just been waiting for him to be single for ages. She said this to me in front of everyone in the group, humiliating me. And she posted stuff on facebook about him and on her blog talking about him and loving him. And it felt like my heart was broken. I didnt know why it was happening or what to do. It fealt so real, and I was so sad.
The other one was more recent but I remember less. Katie cut my hair short, it looked like she had cut it all rough and uneven, but the main thing was that it was short. I remember touching it and looking at it and kind of regretting it, wishing that I still had long hair. Then I woke up and I had to check that I still had my long hair.

Last night I had 4 or 5 dreams. It was my first night of trying to LD, before falling asleep I kept saying that I will remember my dreams. After each dream I woke up and recited the dream in my head, I didnt want to fully wake up and write it down, after going over what happened in the dream I tried to go back to sleep. Each time before falling asleep between dreams I would be conscious and aware that I was trying to fall asleep but my mind would have semi dreams. These semi dreams while I was awake annoyed me and I thought it was preventing me from falling asleep. I think they were the beginning of a WILD (wake initiated lucid dream), I just couldnt fully enter the dream. I thought that these semi dreams would lead to my next dream, kind of set the scene for the next dream. I never fully entered it though I was always conscious and able to move. Then i'd fall asleep.
I can remember having a dream about buffy and all the characters in the show, I remember thinking about it in that semi state and getting annoyed. I remember having a dream centred around DAYZ, I was playing it but sort of in it, explaining to someone what I was doing. I was in a helicopter, in third-person, doing backflips above the trees, there was another helicopter I think and then a heat seeking missile was after me and I did a few flips but it was still on me, then I knew that if I slowed down it would get me so I kind of freaked out. I didnt know what the eject button was on the game and I crashed the helicopter and blew up. I cant remember anything else specifically but I knew there was something.

It started off with me and a friend and we were hiding from someone behind some bushes near a path, we were wizzards so we transformed into kittens and were playing with each other to look inconspicuous,Even though I thought kittens were more conspicous. Two bikers rode past and I got a funny feeling, they soon came back and I freaked out at said “apparate” hoping that I would teleport somewhere else, but all it did was make me invisible. So I crawled slowly away as the two powerful witches started tormenting my friend, getting angry at him for turning himself into a cat. They made him start looking for me so he was stomping around trying to find my body, but he couldnt. He was stand over me and still not finding me when the witch just grabbed my body, I think she could feel my presence. She sat over me and was really cross that I had tried to escape from her, I tried to be reasonable but she only got more angry. She looked something like Glory from buffy, hot with curly hair, yet her hair was brown not golden. ~~~ Next thing ~~~ Me and tris are in the car with the witch and she's taking us to a movie. There is a little duckling in the centre part of the car, and I commented on it saying something like “thats a nice ducking” and the witch said “yeah its very good to eat”. I asked her if she hatched hers because I had recently found three ducklings in the drains, in the dream prior to this one, earlier in the night. She told me a story of how she had hatched it and there was some complication, it was really cold in her house and she was afraid it would die before it was big enough for her to eat it. I start joking with her about how we're all friends 'when the school bell rings', how we use magic and fuck around with eachother but deep down were actually friends and can go to the movies and stuff. She tells me that shes going to be 50 in the afternoon and tris says “wow” and she replies “thats what I thought”. The witch then goes on about how she wants me to go camping and kyaking with her, and make plans to do things with her so she isnt so alone, which I got excited about. We arrive on the top of the hill, with Katie in the car as well. We start to walk down the hill but someone had left their window down so the witch used her magic to turn the ignition and roll up the window. We continue to walk down the hill towards a really trashy 1950's diner-like thing which is the foyer of the cinemas. We get some food and move onto the back room where there are a few tables and some skanky men talking about canbera and how shit it is.

Colin Moulding was the bassist and a songwriter for the band XTC and some time in the last two weeks I had an earlier dream about him after watching an XTC video; It went like this:

I was in a Walmart and someone said "Colin Moulding is dead. You have my sympathies." Or something like that. (As of this writing in waking life, His name hasn't shown up in an obituary that I know of.)

Now for the dreams from today.

An earlier dream involved me seeing drawings or such of Pony characters from MLP: FIM, I particularly remember seeing one of Lyra Heartstrings. I used to be a Brony. (Edit, July 21 2013: I later browsed Pony sites after this initial post but the whole fandom just isn't at all what it seemed to be at first. I also had a dream saying something like "MLP: FIM has been cancelled in your area. If you wanted to see it, You should've said something!")

Another dream - And I'm not sure when exactly this one happened but it was before the park - Involved me driving my Dad's van and a dog came onto the road and I tried to slow down to the point where I wouldn't run it over. I may have or may have not run the poor thing over.

After the sun came up, I had this dream:

I was in some forest/park place and there were people playing music at the ends of certain paths. I went toward the end of one path and I saw the rib cage of someone which seemed to be fossilized into a rock. I saw it from the right side of the rib cage and something was mentioned about the person having eaten four apples and twenty berries. After that, I went to the left up into a shed.

Later, I went into a building nearer the park gates and parking lot and I saw some fruit and tomatoes, I think. I ate a dark purple plum after I got it out of a basket and I looked at some very peculiar-looking foods which I think were tomatoes that were dried but they looked more like a type of winter squash. Then as I was in the building, I went outside for some reason and I saw a man or teenager on a hill side with a cat or dog; I may have thought he should get inside because I knew what was coming. (Also, I think the park was for people and cats/dogs to walk in.)

Then, I saw a weird combine harvester coming by; It was painted green and it had no thing to store anything in. Colin Moulding was driving it not with intent to harvest grain; I think he wanted to harvest people! I went up to the machine, Got on it after/as he ran over a cat with it and I took control of it while/after damaging his bifocal glasses so he couldn't see. (FYI, I don't know if he actually wears glasses. He never did for the videos or pictures I saw his likeness in but they're all at least six years old.) I then steered the combine harvester into a river and Colin somehow managed to make it fly out of the water as if I was playing the video game Crackdown with the Keys To The City mode on and I was driving and spawned a ramp truck in front to make the car fly in the air very quickly; I don't mean to just get a slight lift, Think like 55 miles per hour slanted in the air! I then asked "How the hell did you do that?" If I remember right, To which he said "I've had practice" or "I've had a lot of practice".

Colorful Birds and Pandas [Non-Lucid]

I was at the park with a couple girls, who I can't really identify now. It was a very foggy day outside and we were just hanging around on some jungle gym, but somewhere down the line it began to double as an apartment complex. For a good amount of the dream it was raining and so at the point my memory really starts to come in we were just waiting for the girl who lived in the complex to find her keys and open her door so we could go inside. However, she wanted to smoke weed first for some reason. She pulled a pipe out of nowhere that had a bowl in it that was clearly already cashed, but she tried to hit it anyway. Afterwards she reaches out to pass it to the other girl who declines, and I look down over the railing and see a lot of big, brightly colored birds walking all over the playground. Since this girl basically wasn't letting us into her apartment, we soon just started climbing back down off the jungle gym while talking about how the birds must be in season.

As we start walking away from the park we part ways and I come across a house that looks essentially exactly like mine on the neighboring street, but the area is nothing like where I live. I'm somehow struck with the knowledge that this house must have been built specifically to attract those strange birds, and pandas. I turn around to look across the street and see a panda barreling towards me and I'm happy that one has arrived, but suddenly I begin to question if we've tried having a panda before and it didn't work out and so maybe this is bad idea. I seem to have forgotten that this isn't my house at this point, and I've definitely never owned a panda before.... Out of nowhere, I feel as though my tongue has swollen or closed up my throat, preventing me from breathing. I became understandably freaked out and spent the rest of the dream trying to take breaths through my nose as deeply as I could, with little success, and just continued to struggle until I woke up.

Bus crash:Non-Lucid
This dream scene is the first that I recall. I was on a school bus with many children that seemed familiar to me. I wasn't lucid at the time and I noticed my ex sitting in a seat across from me. We talked for a little bit and things seemed very light hearted and different. After talking to her, I don't remember why but I realized my attention was focused mainly through the front window of the bus and when I turned around, the whole back half of the bus was gone and I could only see the road and the cars behind us. It was completely severed off like the airplane in Lost that broke in half in mid-air. Next thing I recall, I was with a group of people (I presume the ones that were sitting in the front half of the bus with me) and the bus had stopped and we were standing around a street in the city, with a highway infront of us looking for the second half. There was this curved cement pillar (the ones that hold up the highways) that was infront of us, and all of a sudden the back half of the bus came into view and was out of control and ended up falling off. The tone of the dream turned very real and I felt this very powerful disturbing feeling as I looked to the bus and there were children covered in blood. Every single one of them were dead and there were puddles of blood everywhere.
Garden of Flowers: Lucid
I started walking off from the scene (which I find to be a common theme in my dreams) and I found myself in a garden of flowers, still in the city. I do not remember exactly when I became lucid but suddenly I realized I was dreaming. The first thing that caught my eye was a tall bunch of white flowers on the side of the garden and I started interpreting it as I would if I were reading a literature story (In waking life, currently reading Fahrenheit 415, in which a character Clarrise is usually associated with the color white) and I looked back at the bus scene and thought of the white flowers signifying hope or purification from the past. I then again realized that I was in my dream, interpreting my dream, in a world created by my own mind and as I thought more and more about this I starting feeling more and more amazed. The garden was like a pathway made with walls of flowers of all kinds and colors, and I observed intensely at the details and thought of how I always waited for the moment to be lucid in my dream again and there I was in that moment experiencing it. I spent quite a bit of time in the garden just observing details and exercising my full control of my awareness. Even though I've lucid dreamed many times before, it still never ceases to amaze me. xD

Dream 1(fragment):

I was playing some video game and there was some level with pit.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was playing some video game and was talking on dreamviews chat about it, there was one difficult part and i was confirming the steps i need to do in order to solve it.

Dream 3:

I was playing AI War with some newbie player, we were ready to attack the AI Homeworld base, but he was really unsure, i told him that everything will go fine, and if anything, we have shared control over units on. Then we went to attack it with both our fleets, i recall we were using acid sprayer ships for some reason.

Tonight's dreams seemed a bit disconnected, but, overall, the fragments in between were about smoking weed. Maybe there was some fragmentation because today is a holiday, so I got to sleep in, and fell back asleep many times after waking up too early.

Weed

I remember being on a kitchen of some sort, perhaps waiting for something to cook, and smoking pot. As I heard my mother coming in, I threw the joint on the sink (maybe at a toilet).

A walk on the park: Intense bike riding to the university

I do not exactly recall where this dream started, though I know that it began to come together on a park. There, I managed to get a bike (did I rent it, take it, or just bring it with me?), and right after I did, I lost control of it and ended up falling on a lake. Apparently, that happened because I was in a hurry, desperate to get to this university I thought I was approved in. Anyhow, as I fell on the lake I noticed something was wrong with the water: there were two lines of a black goo, moving to the same direction, as if it was some sort of sewer system. Disgusted, I tried to get off of it but couldn't, it was sticky and I was held captive by that strange material - it also looked like its flow was taking me somewhere, and that frightened me-.
Then, I noticed there was a couple passing by, and shouted at them for help. When they came closer, I could see they were both dressed in white clothes, wore expensive accessories and talked in a very snob and full-of-themselves way. They were also blonde.
Before answering my cry for help, the girl let out a scream of horror: "Oh, no! You fell into the water that turns everything into nothing!", which only confirmed my bad feeling about being in that slowly-moving goo. Then, as I begged for help, a bit mad at them for still having not lifted a finger to aid me, one of them replied, stating that they couldn't do anything for me. Seconds after that, Jake the Dog from the cartoon Adventure Time appeared, swinging from the top of the trees on the park. He then stretched his members to pull me out, and as he did, the goo passed on to him. However, he twisted himself so hard that the goo let go and both of us were free. I thanked him, and, getting back on my bike, I rode it like there was no tomorrow, out of the park and into the city.
Just outside of the gate of the park, I saw some friends, and asked them if they knew which way should I take to get to the university, which they replied with a bit of sarcasm. That kind of worried me -- were they telling me the truth? -- but I spotted a sign pointing the directions, and decided to go for it. I was riding my bike very intensely;
There was a special track for cyclists, and I was on it, but it was closed and cars could also drive on that side, so it was difficult to guide the bike amongst so many other vehicles. Then, at some point, I started riding on the sidewalk, which was ridiculously small -- you could barely fit two people at the same time-- and took me some skill not to fall. Anyway, despite my best efforts, I did fall at some time, but I was not injured. I got back up, and into the cars one more time.The lights were red, and I heard an old man talking to an old lady through their cars' windows, about this house to our right, which was empty after its owner was arrested for dealing/smoking marijuana. The lights went green and I eventually got out of that avenue, and into a smaller street. There, I asked for someone about the university I was trying to reach, and they replied me I was about 12km away from it --also, I had taken the wrong path. I thought I had been misled by my friends' malicious words, but then I spotted this chick with an university t-shirt, something about this sports team of theirs. I then promptly asked her about it, and she pointed me to this big gate right in front of me, saying that it was right there. I felt a little stupid for asking the question given the circumstances, thanked her, and headed for the gate. Before leaving her, she said to me "They're selling university gear and stuff, go buy it!". And then, as I finally got inside, a cop came to me, and I realized there was a lot of police cars and people walking around. He told me to stand still, checked me for weapons and took some pictures of me. I was sent to this very small room, where some lady with glasses was talking to me, and then the room appeared to compress me and the dream faded.

Note: Apparently, my goal to reach this university was signing up for my classes, as in this dream I had been approved as a Philosophy undergrad.

We appreciate you, Aether: Memories from the past and people I don't know.

In this very short dream, I was in my old house, surrounded by people I have never met and other figures from the past. The dream begins in my very first childhood room, where I am making out with my girlfriend, hiding in the closet and then just kissing and hugging each other. At some point we come out of it and continue to fool around, and then some chicks from a school I went to years ago show up, as if they were presenting the house to others, in some sort of sightseeing kind of thing. They are a bit embarrassed, and so are we, so we move out of the room. My girlfriend joins other people and I go take a shower. Apparently, it's my 18th birthday and I am "becoming a man". I try to get ready to meet everyone, as fast as I can, but I can hear them calling me every minute singing "We appreciate you, Aether!". So I go to the kitchen, were all the singing is coming from, and greet everyone from a distance, telling them I had to go dress up and stuff. Anyhow, this one old lady tells me a few things before I go: "All you need is to know where your kids are, how your wife is and where to get your Fish." I was a bit confused by this, but it made sense to me at the moment; Maybe I did have a wife and kids. What if my girlfriend and I were actually getting married?
Despite all of these new thoughts, I got into the shower, and out, tried to dress up good, and found this underwear with the word "Fish" on it. I dressed it up, remembering what that old lady told me, and it transformed into very uncomfortable pants. I went to say hi to everyone else, and then the dream faded.

Two fragments.

Dream 1 (fragment): I was at a house, in the backyard. There was some wooden platform, with the center part being stairs. On both sides, on the platform and on the ground beneath it, was a car or truck or other vehicle.

Dream 2 (fragment): I was hiding in a room, with some two friends of mine. Outside was a circular area. In it were apparently some Necromorphs from Dead Space (presumably the first one, considering how they were running in circles), as well as some other people I know. One of my friends was evidently injured, and apparently died, and her last words were apparently to promote me to General?

Later on, someone else came into the room, and that friend spontaneously came back to life (not as a Necromorph, though).

I find myself sitting on a rocky hillside overlooking the town where I live.
I walk down to the town and enter a hallway where I meet some people who I have not seen seen for a long time, we embrace and I tell them I have missed them, I feel emotional and start to cry.
One of the women walks with me back up the hillside. She tells me we can have a new kind of tooth filling and she show's me a small crystal that looks like Citrine.
I like this idea as I have seven amaglam? Fillings and feel upset about the Mercury content.
The dentist is waiting on one of the rocks on the hillside, she is blonde and good looking she shows me how she will insert the crystal and then polish it down to size. I agree to the treatment and feel excited about having crystal teeth.
