non-lucid

Dream recall from today's naps.

Nap #1(fragment):

I was at home and i had bunch of desk fans and an huge disk collection for some reason. Then front fan on the PC broke and i was figuring out why.

Nap #2(fragments):

I was at some kind of coastal area with forts. Later i was at home and dreamviews was an actual place and somehow it was an part of my room. There were offices of some kind and some weird mechanism in an sub-room upstairs. Someone was suggesting to watch a movie, and each time he suggested the title was completely different.

Dream 1(fragments):

There was some kind of factory and there was a cutscene about an group of girls that were working there. They got caught by something called 'Girl factory effect' that involved alot of panicking, then factory got attacked by some creatures and there was fight. Girls were trying to use an space ship to leave factory but it exploded and there were acid pools everywhere.

Dream 2(fragment):

There was some kind of an boss battle on an moving train.

Dream 3(fragment):

I was in some kind of brown underground area, there was maze of some kind.

Dream Fragment: I'm standing in a line waiting to buy myself lunch. An older man walks up to me and smiles, asking me if I believe in God. I smile back and say yes. He claps his hands together excitedly and begin to repeat verses of the Bible. My Grandpa walks up next to me and tells him to stop. He then says, "Do not share knowledge you aren't supposed to know". The man, in anger, walks away. My Grandpa smiles and says, "2:17". I smile back.


I know there is a ton more of this that I can't remember. This bothers me. As for the "2:17" reference, I do not recall a specific book going along with that. So I looked up some of the "2:17" chapters in the Bible. Oddly enough, they all involve something important to me. Things I needed to know, I think.

Acts 2:17 - 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.'

1 John 2:17 - 'The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.'

James 2:17 - 'In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.'

2 Peter 2:17 - 'These people are springs without water and mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them.'

Mark 2:17 - 'On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”'

This is a test

sleep at 1130/1200
wake 3/330 - back to sleep ~4 minor waking ~5 and final waking at 9
took some menthol last night at my first waking - meant to take like 30mg, but after the first cough drop i knew the others weren't going down. so, only got ~10mg. don't think it really effected my dreams. mb i'll just start making myself peppermint tea during a WBTB.

~5 Zombie dream - don't seem to remember much of it anymore (should have used more tags). Zeke (my cat) showed up in three different parts of the dream - just camping by my feet ((he seems to come into my dreams quite often - probably the most likely candidate for a 'shared dream', but no way of confirming it >_<)). i used a key or some other really small thing in my hand to try and pierce one of the Z's brain. It didn't penetrate deep enough, so I used a long pole to pierce the soft spot in the back of the throat and into the brain.

Unknown time - I checked an alarm clock. Then I checked it again. The numbers kept being screwed up so I kept checking it. It kept being screwed up. So I figured 'oh, i must be in a dream'. the whole dream was in my apartment ((this is really odd - don't usually dream places that i'm in a lot. ex- i dream a lot of a house i grew up in, but i didn't dream of that house when i lived there)). I floated around a little - just playing with bodyless space. my mate was there as well - its like we were both disembodied ... he was complaining that he had been waiting for me to 'wake up' for a while.

no idea if that was a true lucid that i lost very quickly or really was more of a 'dreamed i was lucid' situation. its... fuddled in memory.

This journal entry will be more like a reminder to myself. I had about 5-6 dreams, all of them a more or less uneventful rehash of old places and people, that are clearly DS to me. Here's a brief summary:

Dream1: My school again; this time it was about a forum for the school

Dream2: My best friend from school was at our old place

Dream3: My mom at another town from my past, we also went to KFC?

Dream4: Strolling in my hometown

Dream5: In front of my grandma’s place, then waiting for my grandma inside; some people in the neighbourhood were partying, listening to Gangnam style

Fragment6: In a tea shop?

i was directing a music video with my mind. i do not remember what the music actually sounded like but i recall thinking it was like the doors. the vocals and lyrics were very prominent. the music was vivid and complex as it always is in my dreams. the lyrics were about some kind of drug hallucination or delirium.

the music video was set in a darkened suburban area, on someone's lawn. the colour scheme was mainly dark blue and black. the lead singer was dancing around erratically while i caused strange imagery to manifest. there were many of these strange images but i only recall a few. at one point there were cloth-like, lumpy growths swirling around the branches of a tree, disappearing and reappearing. later, there were unfamiliar people standing in rows and i caused their faces to distort. after doing this for a while the dream scene unexpectedly went black and an image of a humanoid figure with a bright red, glowing circle for a head and an ill-defined glowing yellow body appeared. i felt a jolt of intense fear unlike anything i have experienced in waking life. i screamed loudly in the dream but my screams sounded muted and distorted. i wondered if i was screaming in real life. soon afterwards i woke up. (i wasn't).

Two fragments.

Dream 1 (fragment): I was brushing my teeth, and one of my friends was in the bathroom with me, also brushing his teeth.

Dream 2 (fragment): The Starbound beta had been released, and I was playing it - though it only vaguely resembled it. I appeared in some tower, jumped around a bit, went to the right, found a cliff, mined some gems (diamonds, and what appeared to be rubies), fell down a pit, broke something, got an item, and got attacked by flying headcrabs.

[B]I was walking downstairs to go on the computer, (Mainly to play Minecraft) but the weirdest thing happened. As I sat down in the chair, the chair started to ride and float in mid-air, a screaming and crying ghost was screaming at me, "BOOO!!!!", then my sister randomly just spawns on the floating chair beside me. But then everything just shuts down, like a power-outage. The chairs both fall and hit the floor. I ran upstairs to hide but then I suddenly just stopped and went back downstairs, I had a view of the other computer room, their were these two hands, just two hands, no arms or anything, the hands were wearing orange gloves, but the weirdest thing they were doing, they were sharpening a pencil... Using a scanner...[/B]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[B]I was downstairs for some reason trying to install[/B] [B][I][U][COLOR="#FF0000"]ROBLOX[/COLOR][/U][/I][/B][B] I have no idea why, because I quit that game and moved to Minecraft, but then I was gonna download a new driver, the computer crashed, a huge window opened and a crap-load of files just popped up and it said files from the new graphics driver were gonna be installed, it was crazy, they were downloading faster then anything I've ever seen in my life. But after all of this downloaded I opened ROBLOX and right as the window opened. I woke up.[/B]

:P Weird dreams huh?

To bed around 9:30 pm

11:00 1st awakening of night. No dream recalled. Remembered to check reality.

1:00 no dream, but before moving I though that it would probably be 12:30 since I remember last waking up at 11pm. It was actually about 1. Did reality check.

4:00 my son is learning how to ride a bike, so the bike and my son were prominent in this dream fragment. It was definitely visual. Not sure whether or not there was a plot. Non lucid, no sense of self - more like watching a movie, no awareness. Reality check upon waking up

Got up to go to bathroom and drink a bit of water. Will try WILD. Did some simple arithmetic in my head to make me a bit more aware - caught myself mistake 2+2=3! So not fully functional brain, but good that caught it. Ok, now going back to bed:

Auto suggestion: "I fall asleep aware. I dream. I taste something in dream. I fly. I reality check after wake up. I remember my dream."

Was trying too hard and could not fall asleep for the longest time.

When I did I had a bunch of fragments:

Something about my older son's school

A really neat impressive fortress/igloo made out of plastic but then with snow piled up on top. Huge and very vivid. A mother being shown this fortress, was asked, "So you never come out here with your sons?" Her answer "I did not realize before that they do arts and crafts out here." And I had the sense she meant: I could not care less unless arts and crafts are involved, but now that I know, it's of interest to me too. I just remembered while I was looking at the outside of this snow fortress, I thought "Wow, this is so vivid!" That thought only makes sense if I was at the brink of being lucid - if part of me knew it was a dream, but just had not consciously acknowledged.

My husband and I tried to pawn off an inflatable mattress to some college students, who could not care less. We realized in hindsight that while we left the mattress there, we forgot to include the pump. The students were male, and their dorm only had three walls with one wall open to the outside - so not much of a shelter. At some point I thought that maybe this was not their dorm, but just a place they hung out, but they did appear to sleep there too, and I remember bunk beds. I had the thought that they might be members of a musical band, but don't know why.

4/16/2013 recorded outside of dreamviews first - late morning dream after awakening after each sleep cycle with no other memories

I was interviewing for a job with an elderly lady in her home, which was like a fancy mansion. Out of some reason i had the down comforter with me - for comfort? I was shown from a hallway to a living room / salon. The comforter stayed in the hallway. Another woman left just as I arrived, and she was going for another job interview and worried whether she looked good in the yellow blouse - it was very canary yellow, but suited her. The old woman among other things asked me to take dictation using a video which told me what to write. I tried, but then admitted defeat: I was making too many mistakes, not catching up, and the next set of dictation was going to be even harder. I said that I seldom write with a pen any more, and I don't type well fast either - never had to. But I do regularly use the computer and also type on my phone, but generally not dictation. I realized that the reason why she had me do dictation was that when she interviewed for a job decades ago that's what she would do. It showed a difference in generations: what was expected of a woman in a job interview. I expected that I had failed the interview, but to my surprise, I got a job offer. She realized that dictation was not needed for this job, and she liked me.


I think even though this dream was set at a job interview though I decided that I am not actively looking now after all for now, I think this dream is actually about my desire to be accepted by others for who I am despite faults. I think the setting was a home not an office because this dream was personal not official.

Dream recall from today's nap. More 'dream in dream' stuff.

I was exploring some kind of ancient ruins, there were platforms made of diamond and also some different type of diamond that i knew as 'Crystal clear diamond' which was different in color. I went exploring further into the tunnels and after going through them i was outside and there was a ship, i got on and was talking about something with pirates.
After that i was back at the area with the diamond platforms. I picked up some diamonds for later use, but then suddenly the 'Crystal clear diamond' platform fell and broke apart, i picked up some of it's pieces as well. I went further on and there was some kind of public area and there was lots of people doing various stuff and some advertisement screens. Everything turned into some sort of weird game where i had to stay in the area while literally dodging waves of people to get more coins. There were a few different areas, but i was hanging out in one of the less dense ones.
Later i went to some subway area from there, which still looked similar to ruins. There was shop where i used coins to upgrade my clothing to something blue. I noticed some enemies and i was chasing them through the tunnels. Then dream fades out.
I wake up and notice that binaural beats are over, i take off huge binaural beats generator thing with integrated sleep mask and sound isolation system from my head( ) and fiddle around with settings, i also enable the 'force lucidity' mode, then i get this thing back on my head and fall asleep.
I was at school and i was doing some stuff in huge classroom, suddenly i hear very loud binaural beats for a second from the 'force lucidity' mode i activated earlier, i immediately recall that i was planning to try to stand/move on all fours to help with transformations. And so i did, i stood up on all fours and started running, i am quick and it is really easy(I think my body changed physically, but visually it was the same) and quite awesome, i run between a bunch of DCs and then i break through window, fall down a few meters and land. I keep running and look around, i am in the ruins area from before, i decide to try transforming into a dragon again, but no dice. I then run(still on all fours) through some open door and then around a few rooms, but then dream fades out.
I wake up, the binaural generator is out again so i take it off(and forget to do an RC), i memorize recall and go to a different room, the room was empty and i was waiting for something or someone around the door. Then dream ends and i wake up properly.

I am walking out of the Sanquin bloodbank building near my house, and it feels as if I have received some kind of treatment for a disease of sorts, but I'm not sure. As I walk towards the sidewalk to start my short walk home(my house is literally 150 m away) I spot an old couple standing near a car and waving at me as if they were relatives who'd come to pick me up and drop me off at home. I remember that someone would indeed come to pick me up, so I walk towards them and what appeared to be a bright green Nissan Juke(ugly as shit ). I open the door to the back seat and sit down. The old lady takes the seat behind the wheel and starts the car.

She drives off and I know we have to take a right at the traffic lights and I convey that to the old lady, who indeed takes a right turn. Much to my surprise this road doesn't look anything like anything near my house and it also appears to be a dead end with a series of containers(those which are transported by ship) connected to each other.

The old lady and I get out, while the old man stays seated in the car, and we went on to explore the insides of the containers. They're full of old leaves and we came across a rusteld old bicycle. It was incredibly silent and there was an eerie feel to everything. For some reason I was certain that there were zombies around and that we had to get out of this alley as quickly as possible. We run back to the car, to see the old man just lying there with what seemed to be an infection on his neck. I told the old woman that I was going to drive and for some reason I fistbump the old man before sitting in the car.

As soon as I'm in the car, I notice were at the harbour and there are people next to my side of the car. They seem normal, but their eyes look evil. One of them pretends it wants to ask me something so I would open the door, but I refuse and try to start the car to just get the hell out of there. The car won't start and I start to panick a little, because I know they could just break the glass and bite me. I notice that my family has already been infected and it fills me with sadness as well as defeat, because even if I were to escape, I still would have lost. Apparently the old lady also feels defeated and decides to not prolong the waiting. She gets out of the car to get bitten by the zombies. I see that and know that I'm next if I don't do something. I wasn't lucid, but I decided to put a stop to this dream before things got out of hand. I closed my eyes and reopened them in real life, in my bed.

I haven't played ZombiiU for a while, guess my subconscious missed it .

#1 - First, I dreamed about... it was weird, some kind of Batman-like character, in his "Bruce Wayne" mode. I was hanging out with him and some other people in a restaurant who were supposed to be friends. We had a few drinks, got up to go - I thought one of them had left their coat, wallet, and keys, but it was actually someone else's coat, so I had to go place it back on the seat where I found it.

Then we went outside. We were on some kind of structure in the middle of the ocean, and it was super stormy. It was raining, and the wind was blowing hard. The deck we were on (more like a balcony than a ship) had extremely slick tiles on it, and I started sliding across them because I was wearing heels. I fell over but couldn't get a grip on them either, I was hanging off of the edge by my fingernails and yelling for help, terrified of being swept out to sea, but everybody else - who didn't seem to be having any trouble staying upright and in place on the deck - wasn't listening to me. Bruce Wayne dude now looks like a combination of Eddard Stark and Aragorn and is giving some kind of speech, but I can't really hear him above the wind.

Dream rewound before I got swept out to sea. Now I'm hanging onto a pillar.

We return home, everybody goes to bed but we're all in the same bed, it's just weird.

#2 - I have a farm. It's more like a video game, and a really glitchy one at that. I'm trying to gather wool from all of my sheep but for some reason, when I try to take them outside, the game glitches out and replaces them with Redwood trees. I'm trying to expand the farm and dig irrigation ditches, I have 2 cows but the game is glitchy and won't let me put them in the barn, and I'm irritated that now my vegetable field is full of redwood trees.

I'm walking through an underwater cave. It looks like the 'Shark Encounter' at Sea World. There are large glass windows every few feet but there are no fish to be seen. I pick up my pace and see a really bright exit to the cave. I exit the cave and take in my surroundings. It's beautiful. There is a huge body of water surrounded by the circular cave walls. The water is crystal clear and there is a huge water fall. The cave walls are shades of beige and brown and orange. The walls are covered in bright green ivy and gorgeous flowers of every color. I jump into the pool and swim around happily for a few minutes. The water is warm. I look up from where I jumped and notice that the edge has risen, and it's now a high cliff. I think nothing of it and continue enjoying my swim. Suddenly I feel a current under my feet, as if something big were swimming underneath me. I look down into the water and see two large, dark figures. They swim to the surface in a matter of seconds. Two Great White sharks appear, their heads out of the water. They both look at me. They are the biggest I've ever seen and lovely to look at. They are a steel grey on top and pure white on their bellies. Their eyes are pitch black but soft in appearance, as if they are looking at me in fondness. I smile and pet both of their heads and they lean into the touch happily. I start swimming again, both of the sharks at my side. I feel safe with them. Not five minutes later I stop, a sudden fear grabbing me. I look at both of the sharks and they look extremely angry. The three of us look up to the cliff and hear the roar of an engine. A an orange bug speeds to the edge of the cliff and stops. A man gets out of the car and looks directly at me. I don't like him and I know he means to hurt me. I cower against the sharks. They both nuzzle my sides and swim with me to the far wall. Steps appear behind me there, so I climb them and sit on a small patch of grass and flowers. I pet the sharks and smile. They swim back to the center of the pool. The man gets back into the car and backs up. He then speeds right over the cliff with the intent to hit me with his car. He lands right in the center of the pool. As soon as the car hits the water, he's out and trying to swim towards me. I panic but then see that the sharks are going after him. A huge whirlpool shows up and the man is caught in it. It flings him in circles like a rag doll. One of the sharks get caught in it too and I immediately jump in the water to save it. I reach out my hand and grab the shark's fins, pulling it out of the whirlpool. Both sharks come to my side and we swim to the opposite side of the cave. Just as I touch the wall, I look behind me and the man is flung into the cave wall next to the water fall. I can hear his bones crack and blood goes everywhere, turning the water around him red. I breathe a sigh of relief and put my arms around the sharks.
