non-lucid

Got to sleep later than usual due to some credit card stuff and thus had to use an alarm.

I recall being in cave system of some sort and later there was minigame where i had to control small sphere that moved around area and collected chess pieces, also there were pink chess pieces that automatically collected all other chess pieces on in the view when collected.
Then i had some kind of discussion with LV and there was video of an AI playing through ESP Ra.De.(a shmup game) , the AI's name was 'Queen ESP Ra.De.'.

I'm in a parking lot, it's pretty big. It looks to be the parking lot for a walmart type store, A car is waiting on me to pick me up, but I don't want to go, so I start almost skating with just my shoes, I begin gliding as if on ice, I go between car and around planters. Some parts of the parking lot make me pick up speed as if down hill while others slow my pace as if up hill. My fun starts to change when I notice most of the cars have someone just watching me in the driver seats. I stop gliding so close to their doors in fear of one of them opening their doors and snatching me up or stabbing me so I then decide now I want to go to the car that was waiting on me to pick me up but of course now I can't find them.

Me and my sister are on a balcony, I see a woman a man and their two boy children. I pick up binoculars and look at them, because I couldn't get a look at their faces clearly. I know the woman will think I'm a perve so every time she looks up at us I pretend I was looking at my sister through the binoculars, but them my sister starts to walk away and I tell her to stand in front of me so It looks like I'm looking at her when really I'm looking at these people. Then suddenly the two boys appear and tell us they haven't met us yet and that they want to show us something that they show every one they meet. They take us to this creepy attic stairway and tell us to walk up, I'm suspicious and don't want to, plus why aren't they walking up with us, I'm still at the door while my sister already walked to the top, I yell at her to come down and that I'm leaving. I tell her the boys are going to do something bad to us because I was spying on their mom. So my makes an annoyed sigh but I don't car, we leave and I know we avoided something bad. I knew they would lock us up there with something or someone.

BG INFO: I was calling the meteorite 'meteor' in my dream, which is incorrect.
Dream Start-
I started off in a school bus, where there appeared to be about five or seven other kids in it. I then saw that the bus had stopped (It was never moving, I think), and I got up and walked towards the front of the bus (Instability). When I reached the front, I looked out the doors, that were opened, and saw two, maybe three people (adults) standing there. The ones I could definitely see were female,but the other one might have been a male. The second women looked as if she was holding an object (Which was invisible, at least, to me) with two hands that looked (and she held it like) a football. She told me something (I don't remember what) and I seemed to react to it by saying, "Give me the meteor", which she then replied, "-I will,... wait." I repeated the sentence to her and she said, "I will, later, though," I nodded and the other women pointed the second bus (I was out of the first somehow) and said, "Look at... he's <fooling around?>", which made the blonde, skinny boy laugh and sit back in his seat, properly. I then started to wake up, still repeating the sentence, "Give me the meteor."
Dream End.
*Instability - When the dreamer (I) "lags" while moving or looking at something. (For example; If I were dreaming of watching someone, and the "screen" or vision "borders" expand or contract, that's instability. Or if I dream I am walking and I constantly "teleport", that's instability, at least I that's what I call it.
I still had that sentence in my head when I woke up, what was that about?

I'm in the school library where the Freshman orchestra is practicing. I find these pop-up books that illustrate different settings in Discworld and I'm really excited about them, but I'm kind of embarrassed to be seen with them because they look kind of weird from the point of view of someone who hasn't read the Discworld series. I think at some point my orchestra teacher comes and talks to me for a bit.

In a different dream, either I am this little girl or I'm following her story, I can't remember. I might have been switching between those perspectives. She runs away from home and braves the elements to visit interesting, far-off places. I like this dream because for a long time I've wanted to just get up and go/to travel without a destination. After visiting a place that might have been france or germany for a while (she originated in England), she eventually returns home, either of her own will or because her parents find her, I can't remember. She leaves again, though, and this time, her brother comes with her. She makes her way to the middle-east or Egypt, maybe. She gets a hotel room in a tall adobe building, and she looks out the window at the red sky that is turning darker as night approaches. There are some suspicious-looking dark clouds on the left that seem like they might bring rain. Suddenly, the dream becomes terribly disturbing. The brother says something about sacrifice, stabs the girl twice - soaking the curtains with blood - and then throws her out of the three-story window.

In another dream, I'm a school teacher from some time in the past, because not all of the kids are wearing shoes and we're in a dusty, one-room schoolhouse. However, they're all sitting in the floor in rows watching a kid's movie on a TV that seems to have been made in the 90's. I'm breaking apart these big disney-themed chocolates and tossing them to the kids. Once every kid has gotten some, something happens, but I don't remember what. Next thing I know, I am leading my kids on a journey to a new school house, or we're on a field trip, or something like that. All I can remember is that I might have met a centaur and he might have tried to woo me.

I'm in a car and I'm watching a video about the middle school that I used to go to (because my mother teaches there). In the video, it interviews people who work for/at the school, and sometimes Rickey Gervais is interviewed, and at first I think nothing of it, until I realize, and I'm excited that Rickey Gervais has for some reason worked for my middle school at one point. Karl Pilkington is also interviewed at times, but it takes me a long time to realize who it is. When I look up their names in conjunction with the name of my school, I can't find anything on them.

My parents and I are riding in the car (right after watching the video?) and there are two buildings, one to my right and one to my left. We keep driving past these buildings, and each time I think I see someone or something there. The only thing I can remember seeing, though, is Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles at the building to my left the third or fourth time we passed the buildings. Most of the time I saw something, I'd make my parents stop there, but there would never be anyone or anything there. I asked my parents for the names and I looked them up, but I couldn't find anything on them.

In another dream, I'm at this abandoned building (which isn't quite abandoned anymore, since it's become a bit of a tourist spot and there are a lot of other people there too) and there are a lot of owls and maybe some other animals too, that are hanging around outside, sitting on the railing of the walkway that goes around the building and sitting underneath the walkway and such. I think the owls were there because I watched the first Harry Potter movie yesterday.

So I was standing their at a party in my house not aware of what I was wearing... So all of a sudden some guy yells "PARTY!!!!!!!" and all the lights in the entire house just flashed and came off, it was amazing, then I ran around in the dark finding somewhere to hide. Then I finally found a place to hide, so I hid there for a while and then came out, some guy told me to hide in this hideout but I said, NO. So then I ran and then I jumped on my sister and strangled her, the creepiest thing about that, I saw myself do it. I had no eyeballs, my eye sockets were darkness black and I had grey skin and I was wearing a chain around my neck and I also had long black pants and a short black shirt. Then I went over to turn back on the lights, then one of my friends (wearing the same exact clothing as me) said "I RE SPAWNED" and he put his arms out like he was some kind of monster. Then I woke up happy because I had such an awesome dream. :cheeky:

i was at my grandmother's house & my dad told me that the "liberty tank" had arrived in our yard. i went to look at it: it was a tank with red and blue stripes on the side, and the part where you sit was made of glass. there was a crash test dummy inside and at first i thought it was a real person: it was a young boy with striking blue eyes, slumped over as if dead. i remember thinking he looked russian. my dad removed it and assured me that it wasn't real. we climbed into the tank (the interior was just like the interior of a car) and began driving around. i noticed many people clothed in military uniform and i mentioned that i'd like one of those outfits. my father was driving recklessly and i remarked that he was going 80kmh in the middle of downtown; he disregarded this. we got out of the tank and entered an orange silk tent where there were many foreign people clothed in furs. i remember nothing else.

This fragment is very fragmented in part because I think it maybe from an earlier sleep cycle, anyway not from just before waking up:

...
Someone asks me: Why did you stop doing that?
Me: Because the emotions got too strong.
....

And that's it. It's kind of embarrassing that right after a long vivid dream yesterday, this is all I have today. Well actually not quite all, I also have the sense that I may have not quite been myself (distancing myself from the strong emotion and dealing with it?). Also out of some reason when I think of this dream I get the mental image of a very floppy hat, not on someone's head but just lying there (I wonder whether the hat is a metaphor for something in this dream?)

What could this dream be about? My stress level has certainly been through the roof lately, and even before that I have had terrible mood swings for months.

The question could be for why I stopped calling my father. I had mentioned that in a DV thread, and the answer is certainly appropriate for that question. Also the distancing myself from myself as a defense mechanism just in case would make sense.

I just now remember though that the question in the dream may have been job related. it could be: why did you stop loving your job? Why did you stop having faith that your boss will make it all ok? Certainly the answer would apply there as well. Our job has been too emotional lately, meetings which are ultimately motivated by fear/greed/unfulfilled ambitions/etc. And these meetings and their consequences have caused my stress to go through the roof.

Out of some weird reason I had the thought that "Why did you stop doing that?" Could be about introspection self-evaluation. This maes no sense, since I never stopped doing that. However, what if this is about my dream recall. What if my dream recall is not good nowadays and I stopped doing as regular dream journals, because I am self-distancing from the emotions that are too strong in my dreams? We know that dreams tend to have stronger emotions than waking life. I know that I have had some emotionally draining dreams. What if I am forgetting my dreams now as a defense mechanism to protect myself?

Some fragments from non-lucid naps, looks like i got little bit unlucky with recall today, but as usual it should get better.

Nap #1:

I was trying to do WILD but family was interrupting me.

Nap #2:

I was attempting to do something, but there was a rule that it should not be done more than 7 times at same time. Also i recall some centaur-like character with four arms.

It was a fairly vivid dream involving me and some of my friends. A, S and H. We had all gotten together at some hotel and were working on a cartoon.
S was doing the animation. I think he was working in flash on his laptop. I was drawing sketches. A and H were working on doing voice recordings for the cartoon.
We proceeded to watch our cartoon. I don't want to go into detail about the jokes because they were sexual, racist, etc, and I don't want to offend anybody. But some of them were actually pretty funny. But all of my friends and I were the main characters in the cartoon.

non lucid
*Chatting with minjit about her life.
*Darshan of padmasambhava in the old chinese zen temple.

(In this dream I am not me, I am someone of the opposite gender, and about 35 years old, but It takes place in my house...weird.) I'm in the bathroom with my cellphone texting with some woman, apparently we're are in love and I'm cheating on my wife with her. I convince her to come visit me even though she resists. She thinks I won't love her anymore when we meet or something. When she arrives I can't see her, but her friend who looks exactly like Jennifer Lawrence tells me that she is in the room, confused I ask her where>? The friend says she's walking around, at that moment I realize why she was worried about meeting me, she think I won't love her since she is in another realm or spirit world, But she has sent me pictures of herself on the cellphone, so I ask her if I can see her in picture why can't I see her here? then the friend says because she isn't making it so. I ask her to, then she becomes somewhat visible to me and she walks up to me. I'm still confused about the whole thing, but her friend says she is the energy bringer and she loves energy and drains some from everyone and she can make her appear or disappear, the friend says her name is Aphrodite. Then they both disappear and leave more alone than I've ever been.

Before falling asleep I was listening to a hypnosis Session of Jody Whiteley from youtube. It was this one to be precise: Sleep Hypnosis Easy Lucid Dreaming - YouTube

Spoiler for Beginning of the dream (Sexual Content):

I was somewhere on a street in my current hometown, and there was this unknown girl. We just suddenly had sex for no apparent reason, I started to hold her from behind, raised one of her legs, and finally came inside.

TL;DR of above: I had sex with an unknown girl.

After some time I heard about someone who was now being searched europe-wide for impregnating some random girl, and that person was me. There was an high bounty on my head (12500€, or something like that, maybe 10x as much) and I was really worried about the Situation. Some time later I was in a room and thought about the situation when I came to the conclusion that I never touched anyone apart from my girlfriend, and that I'd never do that without a really good and strong reason either. Let alone impregnating anyone, as I REALLY HATE babies entirely, not to mention I'm concerned that our planet is overpopulated anyway. At that point I already knew I was lucid, and did a nose-pinch RC to confirm that.
I applied what I heard in the Hypnosis video, as I got lucid I tried to react to the situation with detached interest. I don't think that made a lot of difference, but I guess it improved stability at least a little.
I immediately went out to search for my dream guide again, and stopped in front of a big screen-like thing which displayed different landscapes, soon after I woke up.

Spoiler for Improvement Notes:

Broke a week long dry spell of lucids - Very Good
Immediately applied learned techniques - Very Good
Searched for Dream Guide - Good
Got no response - Bad
Suddenly woke up without getting anything done, again - Bad

Last night's dreams weren't very remarkable. I have a cold or some sort of sinus infection, and kept waking up with a fever.

I dreamed that my back molar was completely rotten, and every time I closed my mouth, it shoved the tooth out of place. The tooth was extremely loose - I was able to pull it up and see a pool of brown gunk beneath it. It didn't hurt, but it felt extremely uncomfortable and weird.

I really don't remember much else, beyond a vague dream involving the characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender - a show I haven't watched in year. My brother and a friend were discussing it earlier in the evening, though, and I think that may have influenced my dream.

I meet this young woman that is probably a freshman in college. I am walking home. Our paths are similar and she constantly looks behind herself. All of a sudden bees or some flies come out of her hair and start attacking me. I shoo them away as best I could. I see the girl has some sort of smirk on her face. I felt like she was responsible for this and I began to question her about it. I realize her hair was a combo of red and orange. She somehow changes the conversation to just her hair and I forget all about questioning her. ( I feel like I could've been lucid if I kept questioning it). I then begin to walk with her then I started hearing strange voices in my head saying things like "Protect her..." "Help her" I became more interested in her as things went on. Somehow me and her get trapped in some sort of cave. Then we talk about what I plan to do for the future and I tell her computer programming and she asks me "is that a high demanding job" then we escape. All the while these voices saying "protect her" were still going on and I became more curious about her. (Is this not mind control?). Before that entire event. I was trying to catch a boat to an island nearby. I was nervous because I realized I forgot my keys to my house for when I return. It was close to night but still some sunlight. I decide not to take the boat because it was crowded. Then thats when I somehow ended up at this college looking place and met the girl. When I woke up, I couldn't help but feel like this DC was playing me the whole time.

I don't know how many people are in my house, but everyone is having sex. I'm in my bedroom with two blonde girls and a guy. I don't know what what started this, but it's obviously go time. I went down on the girl I was with....there wasn't any shame in my game at that moment. Then I came up, and started pounding her. (So far, so not weird) Then after a while the guy suggests we swap girls. I say "okay", and when I look, this dude has on a blonde wig. Getting ready to knock this guy out, I say "I don't know who you think you're fooling but you better knock it off". He takes off the get up, and we switch like we were supposed to.

With the next girl, it's different....more sensual. More touching, more feeling...we're thoroughly exploring her body. (Then ase expected it gets weird) She says my cock is too big for her. "Well", I suggested "You can ride on top, but dont' go all the way down". She didn't buy it. She gave me a strap on to use, and asked me to fuck her with that. It's nearly the same size as my penis (which is a lot bigger than it is in WL) and I sigh and say "okay". She squats down on the strap on, and my cock lines up right between her cheecks and goes up to the small of her back. She started bouncing and griding...and I was getting about 0 satisfaction out of it. And to make matters worse, time was up (I have no idea about this time shit....I really wanted for at least her to cum). We started putting on our clothes, and she was talking about the next time she wanted to feel me inside her...I'm beaming at this moment, and I'm telling her next time is going to have to be soon (like later today). The first girl, and the other guy are pretty much gone, and my child hood friends come from the other rooms.

Just when I get to the end of the hall way with the blonde girl, J points to us and says "You, and you, yall can't be friends with eachother anymore". "What did I do wrong?" I say in disbelief, but before I can get an answer out of him, I could hear her crying so hard. She buried her face in my shoulder and tugged at my sweater. I was in that same emotional state, but I had already come to the point of acceptance. "Man I knew something like this was going to happen, it was just too good to be true", my face crinkled up like a wadded sheet of paper, but I refused to cry. She cried for both of us, and there was nothing either of us could do. Soon she settled, and I told her "well right now, we can do whatever we want", she nodded, and I said "I want one last hug". (don't know why kiss or fuck didn't come out...damn nice guys) We embraced, and she left.

I arrived to the living room, and people were playing video games. I think they were playing with my NES and I told them I had some newer stuff to play. Games, cables, and systems were everywhere. It looked like the shady end of an electronics repair shop. I dug through, looking for tekken, because I knew no one else had a chance in anything else. Finally T spoke up and said "we've been playing games this whole time, so it doesn't matter". J said "we're heading out ayway". We all jumped into an SUV, and came across a MCdonadls that was in the middle of a strip mall parking lot. Only it had spanish words for the name. "I don't see how you go this place", he said with a look that can only be decribed as top hat and monocle. "There's two of them in this parking lot, I don't go to that one". (I knew this imaginary town like the back of my hand) The next one was so close to it, a person couldn't tell where one started, and one ended. By the time J figured that out, we were back in the drive through to the other one. He started ordering all this food that I've never heard of...sounded like he was speaking another language. All the workers in the store were Latin...maybe that's why. I told him I didn't want anything to eat, but couldn't help marvel at how the place was structured.
