non-lucid

Night 5

Dream 1 - Was running through a cave system with different powers. Then my brother put lava everywhere and I had to get out. Luckily I found some water and used it to turn the lava to stone and I eventually managed to form some stairs out.

Dream 2 - I was going through an assault course but it had quiz questions and mental challenges within it. So I was running through this with several other people. We got to the first room and I immediately knew the answer, then I remembered I'd been here before. This was one of the dreams I'd forgotten a few nights ago. I was now moving through the rooms a lot faster since I knew all of the answers. The dream then faded out.

Dream 3 - I was in a dark hellish fiery place. There was a sleeping dragon behind me and I had this magic powder in my pockets that allowed me to have different powers. That's all I remember

Dream Fragment:I'm standing in a baseball field, the baseball players are wearing white with black pin stripes. It begins to rain and all the baseball players pull down this circus like tent from out of nowhere and covers the whole baseball field, but the slopes of the tent go down to where the audience is standing at the side, a big splash of water comes flying off the tarp onto a mans shirt who then instantaneously turns into a woman with big boobs and we laugh as she is in shock from the cold water drenching her.

Dream Fragment 2:I'm outside and I jump into the pool, people get mad because I got my clothes wet, I apologize a ridiculous amount of times and no one forgives me. They throw me a towel and it gets in the water and everyone gets mad at me for letting the towel get wet. Finally I get out and I take my clothes off and change into pajamas and ask my grandma if she can dry my clothes before the party and she said no, and that the drier doesn't work in rain storms and that a rain storm is coming, so I go get a blow dryer and try it manually.

Well, last night I had two dreams that were surprisingly vivid. They weren't lucid, but I still felt the need to document them somehow and this site came to mind, since it's so awesome. This is also my first DJ post, so bear with me...

The first dream I had took place in first person, like almost all of my dreams do. My family went to some friend's/ family's house, and I apparently spent most of the time in the attic. Anyway, we took a trip to a nearby amusement park, and things were going okay. Then, I somehow got separated from the group, but I knew where they were. In order to get back to them, I had to travel across one of many narrow, parallel bridges that crossed a HUGE body of water. I started jogging across one of them, with other people running the opposite way. As I was jogging, I noticed people looking at me weirdly and/or mocking me, but I couldn't figure out why. When I got to the other end of the bridge, however, I noticed that I had a rip all the way down the front of my pants!!!!!
I literally crawled on the ground all the way to the parking lot to avoid more embarrassment....... Hey, it made sense in the dream!

The weird thing about this dream is that, in real life, I had recently torn a pair of pajama pants that were REALLY comfortable, but I still wear them anyway. Must have affected my dreams, I guess.

After waking up from a stomach ache, I went back to sleep, and the second dream started. Actually it was the same scenario as the first dream in terms of visiting a friend's/family's house. So there I was, it was night time, and I was out in the street with my real-life-friend Dominic (he's the one that told me about lucid dreaming in the first place). We found some weird golden glowing ball, and I touched it (or picked it up, can't remember). The dream kind of cut to back inside the house, but I assumed that we ended up finding nine of them total. Then, I went upstairs to a dark room and noticed another one. As soon as I touched it, a Wii U Gamepad lit up nearby. I looked at it, and it told me I had contracted something called the "n10 virus". By touching 10 of the balls in relative succession, I had gotten the virus. What the virus does is that if you consume any food within the next ten days, you DIE. Now, in the dream, I actually knew what the virus was ahead of time, and so did Dominic, so I told him that I had it. Some more stuff followed, but it wasn't really related.

As soon as I woke up, I was convinced that I had had that dream before, and that that's how Dominic and I knew about it. It was pretty triply.


WOW. I can't believe I just wrote all of that. Just felt the need to tell someone about all of this. Anyway, thanks for reading!

Alright so this is only the third day i know about lucid dreams.
I never had any LD's, OBE's, sny sleeping disorders, and my dreams are usually realistic :/
so i started using a set of actions:

keep dream journal;
do reality checks/increase my mnemonic memory;
do visualization MILD (repeating "i will open my eyes in a dream, and become lucid");
start going to sleep at 12 while listening to ambient/deep meditation/floating kind of music;
wake up at 5/6, do WTBT, go to sleep at 5:30/6:30
and hope to see a lucid dream

and today was the first day i used this set of actions.
result: i saw (well, recorded) 4 short dreams, already a progress! since i couldn't remember my dreams before that.
and here a will briefly go over them, and thus start my journal.

THE FOLLOWING DREAM DESCRIPTIONS ARE UTTERLY BORING, AND HAVE NOTHING WORTHY OF KNOWING
i just wrote them down for myself, to remember. if you do want to read anyway, please go ahead

dream 1
random mansion, with some bad guys doing stuff.
_________________________________________

dream 2
a man and a woman arguing about their relationship. it is happening near a lake with lots of green around.
at some point i look trough the eyes of the man, but it's not me.
He then shot the woman, and lifted her body, in order to throw it in the lake.

AFTER TBTD

dream 3
i'm in my car, driving out of a parking lot, and in process hitting several other cars. next thing i know, i'm a little bit further from the parking lot, my 2 brothers (one is 15 the other is 6, i'm 17) come riding their bikes, and then they disappear.
__________________________________________________ _____________

dream 4
i'm in my current house, with my 2 cousins.
we are playing games, talking, and doing other teenager things.
there is this beautiful girl there too, and it seems like she is interested in me, but i'm not paying much attention.
then we decide to do something together, but the dream ends.
__________________________________________________ _


Overall, it went from really bad, to kinda good at the end.
Can't wait to see what happens next time!

Dream 1:

I was some kind of... ghosty dimensional being, there was another one that i was with as a team. We were in some bizarre monochrome world that was getting filled with colors with each movement(trippy). We felt some kind of disturbance and went to investigate it. There was the road and we had to pass one area that was guarded by some other ghosty beings to reach the point where we needed to go. At first we were just going to fight them, but i thinked up a plan that one of us could distract them while another one gets through. He started distracting them and i got through, i used some sort of energy attack on the way to help him a bit too and shortly, we both were through.
We reached some more colorful natural place, and that's where the source of disturbance was. I saw an "solar cactus" that was radiating an immense amount of heat, and there was an some item near it, which was the source of disturbance for sure. I went towards it, going around some thorns on the way, and picked it up(sadly can't recall what that item was).
After that we went to the mountain area and we were looking at the map of the world and searching for the forging shop, none showed on the map. We checked a few towns, no dice. Then we noticed some train passing by and we went to check there. Luckily the master of the forging was on that train and we got him to help us to forge this item that we found into something. Then dream ended.

Dream 2(fragments):

I was watching some video about "How to properly TAS an racing game" for whatever reason. The author was playing some motorbike racing game and describing how to use some tool to create TAS(Tool-assisted) run of it.
Later i was playing some game that looked like touhou, but scoring was more something like chaining. There was a boss one attack of which created a wall of boulders, and the more boulders were destroyed, the more dense boulders were moving towards the player character. Once boulders became too dense i used some kind of special attack to destroy them all, but then realized that UI is missing GFX for it and went into some kind of editor to add it.

2 dreams

EDIT: Progress! I remembered a dream where I looked at something and thought it was odd but questioned it no further. Certainly hinting at a lucid tonight

Dream 1:

I was in a huge arena with a very ominous reddish-black sky. On either sides of the arena were these massive step pyramids/ziggurats, owned by each team and acting like their base.

Each base had a different color tint, either red or blue, and the layers were frequent and thin. There were gun encampments all along my team's pyramid, but the guns were all late 1800s Gatling guns. I also remember that the two teams were playing Capture the Flag, and as you might expect the flag was in the pyramids. This is where things get freaky.

I was probably sent to get the flag from the other team's base, as next thing I know I'm in a hallway that looks like one from one of my schools, and all the lights above were either flickering or off. A little further down than I was a man sitting down in an old high school desk. His head was turning like an owl's, around in circles. The direction was rapidly changing, but then he saw me. His facial features looked bare or empty, but I guessed that he was in his mid-thirties. The man abruptly stood up. He zipped towards me a couple steps and stopped. Again he does this until he's right up at my face, head still turning. His marble white eyes lacked pupils. The man might have said something, but I tried to run away to the branching hallway on my left. I didn't look back. I managed to get myself into a thinner hallway, but there was this strange shadow. It looked like a thin potato on a stick, but you could clearly see eyes and teeth. This thing was not good. I heard voices in my head about trying to cut the thing, because that's the only thing you could do. I turned around and saw the creature of the shadow towering above me. It was at least 7 feet tall, and was wearing some sort of burlap bag type material. It's head was just like what I saw in the shadow, but it had red eyes. Inspired from Counter Strike, I whipped out my knife and started slashing in a similar fashion. I was backing up in the process. I was petrified though, so I woke up.

Dream 2:

This was a far more pleasant dream than the Counter Strike House of Horrors one. Me and some other people were browsing the aisles of Target. I felt like I knew these people, and perhaps they were friends, but I don't know those people in my waking life. An intercom announced that the store was foreclosing. My group and I walked out of our current aisle and saw that things were really being foreclosed. Taking a brief look at some of the price tags, everything was on sale, most for 90% off. The store's layout had changed as well, not what you'd see at a regular target.

The little remaining aisles were placed perpendicular and in front of the checkouts. From the back wall of the store, which had been brought up to match the new placement of the shelves, you could see a checkout and the employee working there. All of the employees to my recollection were all the same guy, and were all incredibly depressed. I wouldn't blame them. The most interesting and jarring thing about the whole change was that now, instead of Target selling what they usually sell, the store was selling strange antiques.

We proceeded to walk around the cash registers over and over again, as that's where nearly all the big-ticket antiques were. There isn't much of interest to say that happened from that point. We laughed and pointed at all the ridiculous things on display. It seemed to be great fun. The only thing that really stuck out in my mind was that I was abnormally interested in this large figurehead-esque bust of Catwoman stood up on large black wooden beams. It looked expensive, but since it was on sale, it was only $10.

there were two kittens - one orange one that looked like a cat i used to have (sammy). He got loose and I freaked out. Eventually got him back but he was a little more brown than orange. mostly dirt, but some a natural darkening of his fur as he grew

Had climbed up to the top of this really tall mountain. There was a lot of fog around the edges, so must have been really high up. Was there in a largish group of people (hiking or something I guess). The view was beautiful. The mountain was a giant world tree - the branches running off into the distance. I almost fell once. I was overcome with fear at the edge of a drop (we were really, really high up. Couldn't see anything below us - just a kind of foggy distance).

there was an earlier dream with the tag 'captivity', but its gone now.

Dream Fragments


I guess you get to an age where you no longer have nightmares, just bad dreams or dreams you didn't like. At least that's the way I see it now. So last night, I had a nightmare - bad dream - of sorts.
I went to bed really late, like 3am, woke up around 5am and as I didn't recall any dream for DEILD, I got up for about an hour.

For some reason I found myself in Joanne's house, living there with her, which would never happen in a million lifetimes.

Spoiler for why I hate Joanne.:

Joanne is the mother of my son Jordan, when I was a teen, I was of an unsavoury character and I spent quite a bit of time in prison. Whilst I was in prison, Joanne found a new boyfriend and at some point, she allowed him to beat my son, 2 at the time, to within an inch of his life. He is now a quadriplegic and only just short of brain dead. So I don't know why I would dream of her, let alone be living with her.

So I found myself living with Joanne, but for some reason another girl named Kate, who I was also seeing turned up, Joanne was out and so I let her in, but then Joanne returned. I explained who Kate was and that she was here and Joanne was fine with it - she always was a soft touch - however Kate wasn't too impressed though she made the most of it with a brave face. After they had spoken, Kate commented that she didn't know what to make of her now she knew she was Irish. I explained she wasn't Irish, in fact she was Scunthorpe born and bred, I said that she puts accents on to try and make herself more interesting to other people, to give herself some kind of personality if you like.

I decided to go out on my bike, but for some reason I didn't take my helmet, I had a hooded top on and thought that would at least keep the police off my back. I was speeding down the road when all of a sudden the steelwork of a building with a jet engine in the centre flew past me at incredible speed almost knocking me off my bike in it's wake. As I turned the bend I saw Carl from Poker waving me down and signalling the police were about. I was going quite fast and when I started to slow down, I noticed for the first time that there was snow on the ground and I had to be really careful. I got off the bike and stood talking to Carl and someone who resembled Shackles.
Shackles or his dream equivalent was saying how he rode all the time and how good he was, when I asked him what he was riding though, he said he's retired for now, which I thought was an odd thing to follow up with.

Scene change - We only own a shower and a very small back yard. Since forever, Diesel and Dutchess have been a nightmare to bathe, also not very fond of water in general. Well just recently, the past couple of summers, we've managed to get Diesel in the water with the aid of sticks, which he calls balls and is obsessed with, to the point that recently he has actually been swimming for a couple of seconds at a time. So yesterday was the hottest it's been this year and I got the idea to take them to the lake and give them a good bath. It was quite funny, but I think they actually both enjoyed it.

Joy and I were walking the dogs down the riverside and we found a place to bathe them. Dutchess went first as she is the least bother, usually just stands stock still until it's over, unlike Diesel who fights me all the way. Afterwards she was swimming in the water when she noticed a seal or sea lion, we'll say seal, she got out to play with it. It seemed to get nasty real quick and I shouted for her to come away from it, as soon as I said this, Dutchess turned into a seal, jumped in the water and started to swim with the seal. Joy then shouted that there were at least four or five of them. The whole scene had a feeling of dread about it, I told Dutchess to get out of the water which she did, as a dog again. As soon as the seals left, I got Diesel to come to me, I was stood in waist deep water with him and I was shouting for Joy to look, as I walked about in the water it got deeper and all of a sudden I stood on something sharp, Diesel was now panicking and I had to hold his head above the water and look at my foot at the same time. There was a yellow drawing pin stuck in my foot and it had some sort of logo on it, though I don't recall what.

We left the river side when both Diesel and Dutchess ran off in different directions, we panicked as we watched both of them encounter accidents, I saw Dutchess get hit by a car, and Joy said something had happened to Diesel, although she didn't say what, they were both lying on the floor immobile. Dutchess was crying and trying to move, but she could only inch along the floor on her belly, Diesel was having fits and convulsions. I didn't know which way to run. Diesel was closest by far, then someone shouted that Dutchess wasn't going to make it and I broke off towards Diesel. As I reached him, he was still fitting and as I moved in closer he fell down a shallow hole. I climbed in to get him and I noticed he'd turned completely grey - something I've dreamt before - I picked him up and cradled him, I was crying as I climbed out of the hole and thinking that I now had to get to Dutchess as quick as possible. I set off towards her, but I never made it. I woke proper at 8am shouting out loud "What an awful bloody dream...!"

I only remembered one fragment today, though I do remember it being somewhat longer.

Dream 1 (fragment): I was playing AI War: Fleet Command, and I had some insanely powerful unit, and it was chasing around a unit representing Superman all over an empty map. I got him down to 1/4 his HP, but then I woke up.

Had a dream, kinda... Austin Powers style, I guess? But I don't remember much.

Then I was part of a group of spies who were trying to infiltrate an office. We got seen by someone there but they assumed I was a supervisor (I was one person and a group of people at the same time). Then their boss called a meeting and we were recognized as spies. And the boss turned out to be... Hitler. No kidding. I was going to try to kill him, but...

Then it shifted to a group of people trying to infiltrate a place, and they were trying to infiltrate a blood elf camp or something. I was subconsciously changing the buildings because they did not look blood elfy enough. There were several members, and one of them was kind of a ladies' man who was embarrassed that it got found out that he'd set up a date with a superior officer's daughter, who was somehow also Rarity from My Little Pony (yes... a pony).

After that, I was running out of some sort of office complex, only it was more like an industrial building, lots of concrete. I then fully realized that I was dreaming, but it was dark and rainy outside where I was. I looked at my hands, rubbed them together, tried running them along a concrete pillar... I wanted to do a scene change (I was trying to get to an Inn) so I tried to see a light in the distance, but then everything went black. I tried closing and opening my dream-eyes, but it was still black. I began flailing my arms around and every time I moved I heard a sound like the bell on a cat collar. Then I lapsed back into non-lucidity.

Having some exhausting day time which will continue for a while. I hope my sleep quality does not get too affected. Deep sleep tonight, did not try WBTB.

Fragment1: I am in the subway with boyfriend, trying to get some work done on ATM map screen? It is not working and I am getting upset. I apologize to other customers waiting behind me.

Dream2: I am in a room, which is my room in the dream. There is a party with lots of people. I look around and notice the strange furniture, think about it a bit, then dismiss my thoughts. We go out and I see a friend of mine. We walk around in a huge room, a bit like a factory or a store house. I remember some kitchen appliances being there. I tell her that I never expected that our apartment is so big, there is so much space, but most of it is taken? I talk about another friend and how he will buy a place of his own.

I remember now that I had the expectation to see food in this large room, near the kitchen appliances, and there it is, all kinds of things too choose from, salads, meats, like a gourmet counter, everything looks so delicious. I remember in the dream another time when I have seen so much food, but it doesn't strike me that it was a dream then and it is a dream now. I also see some rather interesting looking candy.

Fragment3: I am in front of my parents's place, all houses around are now gone, there is just grass left and some construction materials. I find this a bit strange and disturbing, but then get distracted as some people I thought I knew, but then don't recognize are throwing different-colored hay on the road.

Aliens aliens!! I ran inside scared out of my physical body. I slammed the door shut, but before I closed it, some girl ran inside and just vanished. I ignored it and closed the door. I looked out the window, a swarm of Aliens walking around, I was terrified... It was scary. Then all of a sudden I ran behind the couch to hide, staring at the door, the door opened, an alien came inside, then I woke up. (I'm not sure if it was a real awakening). Then I went back to sleep, the dream continued/repeated!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was sitting in my seat at school, this girl that sits infront of me had to move. So she just moved somewhere else (I have no idea where) then I said "I just lost 50% of my interest sitting here...."

.__.

i had earned some "points" on a website which could be redeemed for real life goods. i went to a department store and found a pair of Yelle-themed footie pyjamas that i wanted (why?!?)

later i was at an outdoor pavilion with my boyfriend. the pavilion was apparently a kfc restaurant. we wanted to order sweet and sour chicken but then the guy showed us how they made the sweet and sour sauce: they mixed together ketchup and ranch dressing. we felt sick and ordered something else.

Dream recall from today's naps. Not much because was trying some DEILDing(unsuccessfully).

I was at home and there was some kind of dare game, as a result of which i had to drink some beer apparently, later i was napping and then when i woke up i was very badly pretending that i saw an UFO outside( ), while it was just some scrap metal.
