non-lucid

Dream recall from today's naps.

Nap #1(fragment):

I was in the field, brown ground, i was the leader of the warrior squad, there was semi-ruined building that we decided to use for camping, but soon, we were attacked by enemy warriors. We were battling them at our best, but they kept coming. I saw an enemy leader while overlooking the terrain, i sent some of my warriors to deal with him, but they failed. I had to deal with this by myself, but before i went there one of warriors was saying that i should not go for enemy leader. I ignored him and soon was about to attack enemy leader, but it was a trap, leader somehow paralyzed me and then dream ended.

Nap #2(fragment):

I was in some futuristic city and there was facility i was visiting. There was some blue humanoid, that i was calling 'Curdy', and he was operating machine that was making curd. He told me recipe and there was some kind of secret ingredient, then i went to home. There was cutscene happening back at the facility, Curdy went missing and there was dude that was mostly bald and he was in cyan suit. Then cutscene ended and i was back at home, i was trying to eat potato but was very hard to eat, then dream ended.

Nap #3:

I woke up in my bed and i had to move some stuff around room< then i realized that i forgot to take off headphones, i took them off and binaural beats are still playing, so i am dreaming, dream is somewhat unstable so i rub hands on my way to balcony door. Then i slam the door open and fly outside, i feel the wings and i fly around pretty quickly. Shortly the dreamscape changes and goes weird, like two perspectives are overlapping, some parts of it are normal and some parts moving around with my field of view. After i fly over some street it goes back to normal and i decide to attempt transformation into a dragon again. There's not much of result though, my hands only got a bit bigger. I fly through some kind of temple ruins and suddenly my room appears right in front and before i can do anything i crash into the wall in the room. Dad comes into the room(i think my awareness decreased after this transportation...) and we talk about bunch of things that i barely recall, i recall something was about transformation. Then dream fades out and i woke up.

I lived in this fabulous haunted house. Ant was there - should have been a clue that I was dreaming. He was mad at me but was setting up my drum kit. We were going to a concert, but was going to be very late. We were hungry and went to a drive through - I ordered Birthday Cake number 2. Loved the house with secret rooms.

4/11/13

Just woke up from an unplanned nap.

In my DR I woke up from FA and I was telling someone, "you see, I just woke up from FA" and proceeded to tell him about lucid dreaming. Got bunch of stuff done and then I woke up for real.

Don't get that many FAs, so this one was fun. I believe, it was triggered by my WILD PM conversation with Allegory. Yup, talking about it makes it happen for me.

I was sitting on the couch and I feel this pain in my mouth, and it's also an excruciatingly annoying feeling. I begin to grind my teeth, it's seems to relieve only a little bit of the discomfort. Then I hear this cracking or flaking noise from my mouth and I know one of my molars just detached, I panic and put my hand in my mouth to get the tooth, I tongue the spot where it came from, it feels so empty and I can feel my soft gums, I freak because I think now my retainers wont work or fit, then I think for sure that I haven't gone through puberty yet so it was just a baby tooth and hopefully another one will grow before my jaw starts to deform back to TMJ. I look at the tooth and it's all covered in decayed holes with cavities. Then my mouth starts to hurt again, so I grind my teeth to relieve the agony again, and then I hear that dreaded noise and the give of a loose tooth on the front bottom of my mouth, all those horrible thoughts about my retainers not fitting come rushing back. I pull the little front tooth out and it's clean, no cavities or decay, I think I need a spacer, or to put something in there before my jaw deforms, but then I convince myself again that maybe I haven't gone through puberty yet and it was just a baby tooth and I'll just grow another before my jaw deforms. Then a third time I feel that agony now on the right bottom molar, I grind my teeth to relieve some pain, but then I hear the noise and feel it give. I panic and reach in my mouth to pull it out, i tongue the area again, I hated that soft gum feeling, this time my mom is there for some reason, I tell her three of my teeth fell out, she just gives me a weird look, so then I began to cry and weep like I did when I was a child and I tell her but maybe I didn't lose all my babie teeth yet, and new ones will grow back, then my mom just laughs at me. I look at the tooth and see that it's covered in decay and cavities and holes.

I was with my mom in my parent's bedroom. My mom showed me this beverage additive that she had found. It was this lime flavored thing that you could add to any drink and it would give it a very strong, sort of sour taste to the drink.
She then proceeded to tell me that it had a lot of alcohol in it, and that you could get drunk from having too much of it, but for some reason it was ok to give the drink to people under 21. (I'm 17.)
She then proceeded to let me try some. I had one sip and "got drunk" (Or atleast my brain's interpretation of what being drunk must be like, because, again, i'm 17, and haven't had alcohol before.)where I started feeling really woozy and I was talking gibberish without being able to control myself. My recall cuts out.

I was with either D or A. I can't remember either. We were staying at some resort hotel at a tropical destination, because I remember there being many palm trees and a large, sandy beach.
Now we were originally walking down the hotel stairs to find my parents in the lobby or something, but we soon discovered that the stairs led down into basement levels below ground.
We decided to see how far underground the hotel actually went. I think it was at-least two or three levels. The bottom level was an underground casino.

Something about sleeping over at a large log cabin with a bunch of friends. We were all sleeping on the floor or on couches. I had false awoken in the middle of the night.

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.
