non-lucid

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall some kind of outdoor area.

Dream 2:

I was at home playing some video game and making slow progress through it, then i went to sleep but was having trouble falling asleep because family was watching some movies in my room for whatever reason. Apparently alot of time passed and there was pile of used tires in the room, i went outside.
I was searching some information around the streets, and after a while i went back to home, as i got home everything turned into something looking like a level from Deathtrap Dungeon and had to do a bunch of long jumps.
Then i was back at home but it was weirdly designed and there was more jumping to do, but i couldn't jump anymore and had to find alternate way around. Soon the dream ended.

FA

I wake up in a hotel room...and I can just feel that I'm in Vegas. My family is here too, but they left. The first thing I'm thinking about is alcohol and women. I walked out of the room, and everyone is out in the hallway. There are a few women outside, and I noticed two were twins. I double took at both of them three times. And the third girl said "yeah I know". I felt like RCing, but I didn't want to look stupid. The only difference between the two was that one had a stud at the corner of her lower lip. They're talking some other random girl comes up and complains about not having a room, and some guy tells her that they're checking out early, but they'll leave the door unlocked for them.

Then Jordyn Wieber comes up, smiles, pretends to kick me. I told her "we meet again", and she walked off. (I had a vision of meeting her in Canada earlier...I assume it was a dream that I may have had earlier that night that I don't remember). M comes out and asks me about her...I told her that she just missed her.

Before bed: I was trying to re-program my dream body, for 5-10 mins I imagined sending energy and setting the intent for my dream body to become aware when it had the upper hand (i.e. when I was dreaming)

Result: I am not sure if it was because of this, it actually took me quite a long time to fall asleep, because every time I would drift off, my body would react, for ex. my leg would twitch (I think this is a hypnic jerk?), so I would awaken. Or just as the HI dreamlets began to form, I would realize it and wake up, then go to the restroom, then I would awaken too much. Perhaps my intending was working, but I probably should have used this suggestion technique in WBTB and not when falling asleep initially.

Dream1: Two of my best school friends were playing a kind of game, where each would listen to a song, then share some secret thoughts they had. In the dream I know there are maybe 11 or 12 songs, I remember a certain song, but it does not belong to this album. I cannot remember the last two songs, so my friend goes online to find out which those songs are.

Dream2: Politics again. I see the mayor having an affair with some popular all-night-long party woman, there is also a video of this. I contemplate a lot whether to tell my mom, who supports the mayor, about this whole story. I finally decide to invite her over and show her the video, which shows the two kissing. My mom does not believe any of it and still strongly supports the mayor. What is more, it turns out that she has managed to book a seat and take part in some kind of conference with her favourite politicians.

Dream3: I am looking at photo of one of my favourite teachers, then a former classmate appears next to me, she tells me something. On my other side another classmate2 (DS) appears. Now, I am looking at some jewellery made from semi-precious stones. As I am looking at the jewellery, classmate2 tells me that some kind of pink type of stone is the best.[not sure if such a stone exists IRL], it looks like a mix between rose quartz and jasper. She then tells me that she has some kind of dagger/wand made from that stone and some more info about it.



At that moment I remember that we already have had this conversation in a dream, and I tell her that I had a dream about that. She then replies me that she remembers the dream too. Wow! I go out on the street and begin to tell the story to myself, as if I just awoke and will be writing this in my dream journal. Instead, I begin writing this story on the pavement…

Obviously someone I do not want to meet will soon arrive there, and my friend recommends that I leave the place now. I try to stop a taxi, but it is not a taxi actually, some white old Mercedes with some people and lots of junk in it. I jump on it, trying to use it as a ride to the next station. I get off and fly past some Chinese fast food stall and pick up some chicken skewers, they fly away without paying.



I reach our first home, I am on the street. I look and see my mom there, I don’t want her to know that I am here, so I hide behind a tree. I am waiting but it starts to rain and my tablet is wet, but it is water resistant, and this is a dream so that’s why nothing happens to it. [Really!] I put it in my backpack.

Fragment4: It was during the night and we were in some pub like place. It was 2:30 am and all the shops closed, but the pub was still open. We are outside, I look back at this actually unpleasant place and say to my friends from school “Even though this is a terrible place and we do ourselves so much harm here, I actually love it!”….

slept 11:30 - 9:00, awakening and falling back asleep several times between 7 and 9

i am in a large, dark house with some caribbean women who appear to be in their 50s-60s. they are acting strangely. someone tells me that in their culture, it is considered polite not to acknowledge strangers. later i am cutting myself in the bathroom (similar to townhouse bathroom) and the blood is getting everywhere. later still, the women and i are in a room with a young red-haired child. he keeps changing in size, from the size of an average 4 year old to the size of a mouse. he crawls around on the floor. the women are thinking of adopting him.

then i am in a "hospital", which is similar to the house in colour scheme. there is a lot of wood. i am a nurse here and i am watching over a middle aged man. his hospital room is a huge cylindrical tank with transparent walls. he is sitting in the far end of the tank, attached to many machines. he is wearing a sports jersey. i leave the room and report to the doctor, a tall young woman, that he is doing ok. she decides to initiate a different treatment. the tank is filled with water and numerous small, pink, swimming creatures. i go into the tank to explain the treatment to the man, but the creatures keep swimming into my mouth and it feels very uncomfortable. i leave. the doctor tells me to prepare a powerpoint on cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

in a fragment i can't place, i am at some kind of religious ceremony. the "church" seems to be underground and has a domed ceiling with pillars that fan out at the capitals; everything is hewn of grey-beige stone. somewhat gothic architecture?

in a different dream, i am playing with dogs in a park. it is hilly, with yellow-brown grass: beside the chainlink fence is a stone chasm and then a road. a beige concrete overpass stands further away, over the road, and in the distance, a cityscape can be seen. the sky is bright blue and clear. occasionally i see a massive red balloon rising over the city. it is very beautiful.

my final dream begins as a video game but the perspective changes. it is night in a cartoonish landscape; the land is pine green, the sky dark blue and full of stars. there is a little boy here whose pupils are shaped like crosses. he sees an area where the land slopes down, inwardly-curving, to a beach; but the slope has been separated from the level land, creating a vertical cliff. he realizes that he must push the cliff and the slope back together to save the other children. there is a segment of this dream which engenders a strong bittersweet feeling inside me, and repeats several times: the boy floats up into the sky among the stars, holding on to a red balloon.

Only one fragment, unfortunately.

Dream (fragment): I was at my school, apparently with no shirt. I went to my locker and grabbed it.

Dream recall from non-lucid naps.

I recall a room with brown colored walls and floor.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in the city and i was searching for something.

Dream 2(fragment):

There was some kind of competitive game about waking up on dreamviews, i didn't managed to win but i tried...

This was non-lucid but it was my first dream i could remember since joining Dream Views. I was in my workplace when a co-worker of mine went in; He then said we are being shut down and we are closing for good in a week and its been a pleasure working with you.". Then we shook hands. After that a man with a weapon entered the shop and kill one of us.(i couldn't tell because my angle of vision changed and i ended up feeling as if i was my co-worker) and while the killer was busy pulling the body to the side and started towards the register i escaped to his car (despite mine being right there making me surely think i was him as i had the keys and all). i then drove away fast and i felt as if i was in control of the car, but it was unrealistically fast and the breaks didn't work(i wouldn't call myself lucid but i felt as if i was controlling it down the road trying to be cautious and avoiding traffic.) and that was the end. I also remember fragments of other dreams i had, but only a scene or so. One was like i was playing Starcraft 2 (I'm a huge gamer) and controlling people to battle like that in a medieval style combat ; The other was me having a fight with another person with a bows and arrows. I was shot in the arm (i felt a large amount of pain that i woke up but went back to sleep almost instantly) and i went back to the same scene after i was shot in the arm, and then we traded shots for a while until he hit me in the back twice. (But i have to say the pain felt very intensive that in the dream i blacked out.) Then the scene changed to me and a few guys scrounging for supplies in a broken down warehouse ( i dont know the reason why) but strange enough it seemed that everything was rusted, even things that cant become rusted... that was it. I'm quite satisfied at my first dream attempt to improve my dream recall. I feel this is a step in the right direction that i remembered some fragments from multiple dreams.

Total Sleep time: 7+hrs

Dream recall method: none, was very sleepy today

Dream talk1: (Bf woke me up about an hour after I fell asleep, he was having a nightmare) At that point I realize I have been spending my sleep time dream talking to myself, this time I remember that it was about DV and TOTM, etc.

Dream2: I am in our old place again and have made some drawings. I look at these, one was just ocean waves that were moving by themselves and I found that really cool. On another one, there were waves again but the printer was out of ink. I think I have used some kind of computer program to do those. When I focus on the drawings, I see different shapes starting to form, one was an aligator/ raptor, and on the next one two superheroes jumping in the air.

I am supposed to give one of the drawings to my mom and she will help me sell it. It is a very accurate and beautiful drawing of a brown rabbit and a grasshopper on top of it. As I give the drawing to my mom she discovers a hidden (Freud's favorite) p-word there.I don't think you could see it there, but she starts turning the drawing around until it is clearly visible. Oh, we probably won't be able to sell it then.



Fragment3: I remember looking at some crayons in different colors, maybe they were part of the previous dream, not sure

Dream4: A friend of mine, she has a dog in the dream. The dog becomes unmanageable and grabs me somehow, does not let go. After a while I get away from its grip and try to hide behind someone of my DC friends. I wait for it to go away. Then we are supposed to go back home and my bf gets on the bus and so I must get on the bus as well. There is a girl who shows us her schedule and the activities she has planned. This is because we have to meet her later?

Fragment5: I was being explained something about the HI lights, can't remember

-First dream I had involved me meeting what I assumed was a photography group outside my school, until I noticed how in their area there were various video games, which looked like incredibly large golden GBA cartridges. I started talking to the leader of the group, and found out that me and him actually shared names! He let me know that this is actually a comedy troope, and asked if I wanted to join. Next thing I remember I'm looking outside the groups building, which had this painting on the side, with two out the three floors of the building dedicated to gaming. I walked in with my dad, and my dad got into a conversation with both the leader and Bill Clinton, as if they were old friends. My dad then dropped the fact that when I was a kid, he bought me the original Half-Life.

-Next I found myself in my science classroom with various people I know. Some video was playing on the smartboard when a dude on his laptop said that a person I know, Mitch, challenged him to a game online. The substitute teacher told everybody to pull out their laptops and accept, saying that Mitch "doesn't stand a chance."

-The last dream I had three characters, Cole Phelps from L.A Noire, a young boy and an older gentleman. It followed their attempts to stop a bunch of nuclear missiles from firing off. Cole had a Mass Effect style "choice"-wheel where one could choose what he said, and depending on what he said, it would determine whether the nukes would go off or not. The wheel actually like the circles in a Looney Toons cartoon where it says "That's all Folks." In fact, the wheel actually said that at one point. At various points Cole would talk with the boy, and it would give off the feeling that Cole was actually a young boy in an older mans body. The whole deal played out like an episode of Billy and Mandy, and repeated several times, often ending with the missiles going off.

Dream recall from today's naps.

Dream 1(fragment):

I was in some kind of white city with dense white fog.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was playing Far Cry mod, which added stuff from Syphon Filter into it, there was hard level that started as fight with a tank, and i had only .45 and there was another tank that i could use, but i didn't because of enemy's tank. I ambushed a few enemies that were trying to flank me and got their HK5, then enemy tank was going around, but by that, tank left a passage that it was guarding, so i just went there. There were a bunch of enemies stuck in the wall helplessly, so i shot them and got their ammo, which were mostly different kinds of shotguns, but i was able to carry only one of them for some reason.

I remember building a use case diagram in UML notation, and it included:

Death with extensions for Died of Natural Causes, Murder, and Suicide.

I was in some kind of hotel/party hall type building, it almost reminded me of how a funeral home is decorated: ornate carpets, columns, etc. I was near the entrance, and on the wall there was "SeeU / See o" with the last e crossed out. I assumed it meant SeeWu. A SeeU & SeeWu duet was playing, but I didn't recognize the song. I walked into a side room. It was kind of dark, but there were a couple lamps lighting up the place. A guy came in, who was a guitar salesman. He handed me a plastic replica of a guitar, which I pretended to strum.

--

I was outside with my dad and brother on an unfamiliar street. We were looking for a neighbor's dog. The dog ran away after the neighbor was robbed in his home and shot by the robber. We hopped a fence and entered a baseball field. We looked around a bit, finding a couple dogs, none of which matched the description. Then I wandered off for a bit, and when I came back my dad had found the dog. We went to get waffles to celebrate. The waffles were kind of freezer burnt though.

Galantamine Dreams

I just had a series of false awakenings/Dreams that took me deeper than anything ive experienced before. I've recently been trying out the Galantamine/Choline combo from Dreamamins over the past week, and while I haven't become lucid while on them yet I always have false awakenings and intense Dreams anyway. What follows is the most intense series of Dreams and false awakenings I've had to date. What I've written is only what I could remember because by the time the last one was over, the first had already begun to fade from memory. I must admit that I felt a little trapped, like I was unable to wake from these Dreams but I kept trying, hence the amount of false awakenings. I liked it, It felt like separate lives...

In the first, I Dreamt that I was following Jeremy Renner around because he was some kind of secret agent. I don't remember exactly what happened anymore but I do remember that at one point he was being hunted by the Russian government, and at some point we walked into a room that had several people strapped to gurneys, all of them bled out and dead. There were two Russians in the room, I was given the impression that one was a doctor and the other was simply a killer. When I first walked in, i saw a larger man twitching on the gurney closest to me as though he weren't quite dead, but dying, and about six others who were dead. I also saw the killer Russian bent over a last victim slicing open their neck. As soon as they saw us, I became Jeremy Renner, or I should say, the secret agent. The Russian had two scalpels, but they were larger than they should've been and he came at me yelling and extremely intimidating. I found that at that moment I had two knives as well and we began to fight. He sliced and jabbed at me and I managed to deflect and protect myself rather expertly. This went on for a good minute and I began to think about the fight too much, and he sliced one of my hands forcing me to drop the knife. Then he tackled me and bit a chunk of my ear off, and the Dream went black, but I didn't wake up.

The next thing I remember is being in some kind of basement where people were working on something I'm still not sure of, but I remember there being farm animals there. I remember washing my hands with bloody plastic gloves on, and I remember seeing the smallest giraffe and gorilla ever. I mean tiny, just about a foot and a half tall, and they looked like they were made out of arts and crafts decorations but they were moving. I thought to myself how cute they were and that my girlfriend would want to see them so I tried to take a pic, but the other people there said that pics weren't allowed so I didn't take any, I just pet them. I was also warned that the giraffe bites, so I was trying to be careful with it, but every time I tried to pet his head he tried to take a piece of my finger off. Little bastard. Then I "woke" from this Dream.

I awoke to our bedroom and was a little disappointed that my Galantamine hadn't helped me to become lucid, again. I remember that I turned on the radio and started blasting P.O.D.'s here comes the boom out the window in response to our new neighbors being noisy jackasses. Then I remember my girl being in the next room and coming in to talk to me. Now, when I fell asleep before all these Dreams, my girls mom was supposed to come home for lunch while my girl is at work, this confused me because her mom wasn't home and she was, so I asked her what was up with that. She said she didn't know where her mom was and was carrying a pair of scissors in her hand. She was walking away from me and reached for something on the dresser, which I snatched from her fearing that she had done away with her mom and I was next. Tis isn't something I actually fear in real life but somehow was a concern in the Dream. When I grabbed it, it was the size of one of those poppers kids get that they throw at stuff, and it said TNT on it. The Dream faded and I was laying in bed.

The next Dream I remember was odd too but not so much. I had a false awakening and thought I woke up from the last Dream and that I was in bed. I even remember looking at the clock and seeing the time correctly, it was about where it should have been. The next thing I remember I was on the balcony of our apartment with the iPad, writing like I do, and our new neighbors were being jackasses again and he was messing with his truck for whatever reason. They like to do doughnuts in the middle of the night, but this time he did something else, he just peeled out and tried to take off but something, probably me, made his truck flip over. It landed on its top and was smashed to shit, I loved it. I loudly proclaimed YES! when this happened. I remember him getting out of the truck and he started yelling at me and I told him that's what he got for being a stupid jackass and that the next time it happened it hoped he didn't walk away from it. At this point he went into his apartment and I realized that I wasn't alone, there were people everywhere inside my own apartment. It was like our two apartments weren't separated anymore and every annoying jackass he hung out with was now sitting at my dining table, watching my tv, and standing on my balcony! My balcony was also smaller all of a sudden and I had to magically work my way around the other fools there to get inside. I even remember wanting to tell some dude to get out of my chair, but I didn't. When I made it to the kitchen, I saw my neighbor sitting there, crying. I went to go talk to him and I put my hand on his back and asked him why he was so upset, just to be nice, and he ended up asking me if I wanted to go outside and play racquetball with him to make him feel better. I said yes but that I would have to go put my IPad away and get my racquet. I stepped into the room that I thought was mine to discover a couple in there, under the covers, doing things.... I immediately told them to get out because I was certain I was in the right place and this was just too much. Then I took a look around and realized that it wasn't my room after all! I apologized profusely to them and grabbed my IPad before heading out. I was incredibly confused by this, I had no idea what was going on anymore, so i left the apartment completely to see if I was even in the right one. Turns out I really was next door, but the outside of the doors were decorated for Christmas... I knocked on our apartment and my girls mom answered in her robe. I asked her what month it was, and she told me it was November. She told me this as I walked into the apartment, and my neck was scratched by the wreath we had on the door. All at once I began to have trouble breathing, couldn't fathom that I had lost six months time, and dropped to my knees in disbelief at everything that had happened. This is when I finally awoke and realized that everything that had just happened, all four or five Dreams, had been just that. In less than 90 minutes.

I should mention that absolutely none of the reality checks that I tried worked, I did ask myself several times during the course of these Dreams if I was Dreaming. I was fooled every time. I think that since perhaps the Galantamine makes me more aware, my Dreams respond in kind. They are made more believable, to a point. If I was a master at ADA, then I would've had no problem becoming lucid, but for the level I'm currently at it was enough to trick me.

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall some kind of wooden boat or some other wooden water vehicle.

Dream 2(fragment):

I was in dark blue area, possible a cave.

Dream 3(fragments):

I was on the street and there was huge skyscraper nearby. I had some kind of a mission and i entered it and got to the roof, there were some bad dudes but i dealt with them. On the roof, i had sniper rifle and i was sniping some important looking person, possibly the leader of bad dudes. After it was done i got out of the building and i had to fight more bad dudes on the streets.

Dream 4(fragment):

I was visiting dreamviews and there was thread where CanisLucidus and paigeyemps were discussing something.
