non-lucid

Was having problems waking up, thus meh recall.

Dream 1(Fragment):

Dream was happening indoors and there was trapdoor of sorts.

Dream 2(Fragment):

I recall watching some sort of walkthrough of some jumping puzzle game.

Total sleep: 7 hours

Fell Asleep: 5.30am
Dream Title: Massive zombie horde
Dream:
Its day time and I am walking along some grass. To my left, which for some reason is the way I am facing, is a red brick wall. As I pass an Army truck someone - I’m not sure who – appears next to me. They hold up part of a corpse as we continue to walk, and it is quite bloody. I stop and turn around, pulling a weird face.

“What the hell is that?”

“We can take it and use it as food, because no-one seems to like deer, and it’ll help instead of cereal.”

“Oh, good point.”

There is a time skip, and now it is completely dark, like we are in the middle of a field somewhere. Groups of people are stood in the backs on large trucks, and behind us I can see lights shining on the floor around the building that looks like a pretty strong compound. I have no idea why everyone isn’t inside it, it looks quite safe. The trucks are also parked inside a mesh fence, and the drivers have really strong torches. It is extremely cold, and I can see the water vapour coming out of people’s mouths when they breathe.

Anyway, we all hear a noise, and turn around. As far as we can see (Which isn't that far because it's REALLY dark…), there are bodies. Hundreds of thousands of them are lit up but the moon that magically appears behind them, and the strong torches pick out the details of the closer ones. Their purple skin seems to almost glow in the light. So they begin to push as hard as against the fence. Obviously, the hundreds of thousands of bodies managed to easily get through the mesh fence. Realizing that a massacre was about to take place, I quickly vaulted over the side of the truck and hit the floor. My vision zoomed in on an electric fence at the other side of the compound, but there was a hole in it. I started running towards it, and as I got closer, the hole got bigger. There were also every few zombies around this side. As I got to the fence, I jumped, curled myself into a ball and jumped through the hole. I hit the floor and rolled, coming to my feet with a rod of metal in my hand. I must’ve got it from the hole, but I hit a zombie with it and it does some serious damage.

Looking back, I notice a small building just back inside. It would only be a few metres width and length. Deciding to check it out, I step back inside and go into the building. When I get inside, there is a faint purple glow, and the surfaces of every area in it are like a white metal. Through a hole in the wall, I see a girl from my school, holding out her hand. I know I have to help her, but at that moment, my head teacher walks in. He looks like of zombie-ish and he walks really slowly, but somehow the girl and the hole manage to disappear. He doesn’t spot me either.
The dream ends here because I was woken by my parents.

Awake: 6.45am
Vividness: (scale of 1-15, 10 is waking life vividness) 12/15 it was mega vivid. The light shining over the horde in the middle of the night, and generally the graphics of the whole dream were amazing
Awareness: (1-10; or lucid) 2/10
Length: (how long it felt like) 10 minutes
Emotions: I didn’t feel much in this dream, apart from being really cold, and having a kind of adrenaline rush when I jumped through the hole in the electric fence.
Dream Signs/tags: corpse, zombies, purple, vivid

This dream fragment was about dreaming. Upon waking it occurred to be that it was a chicken or egg type dilemma. But that that's all I remember.

[color="darkslateblue"]I was somewhere at school, on my way to the cafeteria. There were some people around, they were all possessed by demons.
I was standing in the line with a friend in the cafeteria, I was fairly sure that she was also possessed. I also felt different, kinda weird. My friend told me that my vessel was looking worn out and that I should switch. Everything went black and I felt my body go limp. I woke after a while and ran to the entrance of the sports hall. I was trying to find some woman's crucifix that had been there before, it wasn't there anymore.
I saw two of my classmates leave the school's territory, decided to go with them. I'm not sure where did we go and why but I soon came back. Went to a high building, saw some man in there (I suspect it was Dean..), ran out, he wanted to kill me yay who cares. Scenery change right before he caught me.
I'm now in a room with quite a lot of people. I think it was Sam who asked me about my necklace that my dad had given me. A moment later the necklace fell to the ground and broke into pieces, as if an invisible force had thrown it. I was shocked, staring at the pieces I knew it couldn't be fixed.
An older man threw me out of the room, outside to the ground. Well. He was possessed by a demon, wanted to kill me. Woke up before he could do anything, as always.[/color]

Too much Supernatural.

I only remember the latter part of my dream, but here is is.

First thing I recall is being in an oddly small hallway which I have to crawl to go through. There are many doorways on the walls, but only one seems to be occupied. I go over and open the door and see a man inside a tiny room. (Normal sized man, small room)

He welcomes us (there are a bunch of others with me, 4-5, who I feel I have some relationship with, maybe friends? At least one has a feminine feel, but I never see them) and tells us to make ourselves comfortable because there is no way out. We can take any room we would like. I check the ends of the hallway, and there are no ways out. So we all pick a room.

I'm fuzzy on what happened next, I remember checking out all the rooms and seeing what the others put in there, but next thing I really remember is walking with some creepy guy. He is talking to someone who apparently knows allot about me. He tells the creepy guy how I can't go out into the sun or it will cause me to Time travel, and things like that. He looks interested.

Later we're on a boat on a river, paddling back to the keep where the hallway is. It's during the day, but the creepy guy has something that blocks out the sun for us. We are bringing ice back. Suddenly he pushes me out of the boat, into the water and sun. I feel something happening to me, so quickly get to shore under the cover of a tree. There are a bunch of people around whom I watch as I stay in the shadow of the tree.

Then a fight/battle breaks out. I feel compelled to help them, but there is the problem of the sun. I put the hood up of a black trench coat which I had apparently been wearing all along, and pull the sleeves over my hands so no direct sunlight can get me.I then grab my staff and go into the park like field. The hood cuts off my peripheral vision, but I am able to knock 2 or 3 people down as I go. Two women charge me at once, but executing some cool staff work I am able to knock them both down. I ask them to stay there, then proceed to capture them. I don't want anything bad to happen to them.

I have been having a hard time recalling dreams, but this one shocked me, it was a semi-nightmare, I suppose. Now that I recalled it, it is pretty stupid now.

I'm in the computer class, and the teacher was being butthurt about me not handing it the first assignment from the last term (which doesn't exist IRL by the way) and was getting on my case all the time. For some reasons everyone in the room were from my previous school, but the room itself is something I have never seen before, and the teacher is a New Zealander who speak Thai with perfect fluency. I got him a paper and asked him to get the topic for me, but he started writing up a transfer note (AKA kicking me out of class) instead. I was distressed by this and started sobbing and bowing at his feet while he acted like a smug bitch about it. Then I woke up.

At approximately 12:45 PM I decided to ingest 30 mg of a Rauvolfia serpentina extract, reportedly standardized to contain 30% rauwolscine. I followed this up with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, potato chips, and two trefoil cookies. (Girl scout cookies! ) Shortly after I finished eating, I decided to go on a walk.

The walk was overall uneventful. My anxious mind payed attention to a few mild things that were likely placebo, such as slightly increased heart rate and stimulation. Once I moved beyond those thoughts they seemed to mostly disappear. One thing maybe worth noting is that I yawned a lot, which I guess is a good sign if I intend to take something before bed. I didn't like how it made me feel like my chest was a little tight though, but again, this disappeared when I stopped letting myself worry about it. It's only been about an hour and a half now and that symptom isn't noticeable, and I'm guessing it was just a gas bubble, since I get those a lot. So far the only thing that's really stood out to me is increased appreciation of food, since it's the one thing I didn't think about beforehand. The fruit on the counter and some more trefoils tasted better than they did before I dosed. I wonder if it's linked to rauwolscine's 5-HT2A antagonism? This is said to increase appetite, after all. Hmm....

Final decision? So far, it doesn't seem like it'd be too bad before bed. I was afraid of the potential stimulation, but if there even really was any then it wasn't any more significant than caffeine with tolerance. The only thought that really comes to mind is that this is probably best to avoid on days where you don't feel at your most physically fit, but I say that about stimulants in general. This may be worth experimenting with....

-----

I guess I'll include this really quick, too. I smoked myself to sleep with a friend last night so my recall sucked, but I did get this one fragment down.

Dream Fragment [Non-Lucid]

I remember being at the bottom of a mountain range and watching people climb up this big wall, and at the top there was a door just sitting there. Beyond that, I just remember that Gajeel (I think it was him...) from Fairy Tail was on the opponent team, but that's it.

Downhill recall again, but i think i found what causes it.

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall something about seven masks of war that were arguing between each other about something.

Dream 2(fragment):

I recall arena of some kind, at the end of the dream there was lucidity switch but my dream self didn't payed attention to that...

Date: 3/3/2013
Total sleep: 9 hours
Daytime Techniques: ADA (my version), meditation (visual, 20 minutes)
Lucid Techniques: MILD
Fell Asleep: 11:30
Dream Title: Crazy fun
Dream:
It is a pretty normal dream, but then I decide to go to sleep and try to WILD. I lay down and instantly teleport to the Dream Army Base (at the time I thought that I had WILDed, but then I realized that I had not. This is actually just a variation of how I teleport and how I WILD, which are similar enough for this to happen in my dreams)I go outside to the forest and travel through to a town. The sky is red, and I am pretty sure that it is night, and the sky is that way so I can see and so that I know that it is dangerous around there. I travel and a cat-girl meets me. Extremely cute. I think for a second that she is an extra, but she doesn't have that vibe. She tells me that she is going to show me a safe place and takes me upstairs. I ask her how the town got ruined and she says that a different girl like her has ruined it. I know that the girl must be an extra.


Awake: Not really sure
Vividness: 12
Awareness: lucid
Length: 20 minutes
Emotions: Holy awesome crap!


Fell Asleep: Not really sure
Dream Title: Extremely dangerous
Dream:
I wake up and lay still and DEILD. I am not sure if I actually woke up or if it was just going back to the other layer of my dream (I know that dreams don't actually work in layers, but if you fall asleep in a FA, and then wake up later you have a higher chance of another FA IMO). I appear away from the cat-gal. I am in the streets. There are not many people. I go into a grocery store and hide there. There is a lot of people in a room up the stairs in the back and they are hiding. The catgirl comes in. This is a different one than before. I create a barrier to save all the people I am with out of a red ribbon about an inch off the ground (2.54 centimeters). I step in it, but only have the barrier part, not the teleportation part activate. I ask her what she wants and she says that chaos is the only fun she can have. I step out of the barrier and teleport the people back to the base (sorry, they were all clean. I take them away later). I attack the girl and she dodges. She runs away from me and I chase after her. I force shove her as she is running and she almost gets knocked over. I can't seem to throw a fireball, so I think of another thing that will work. "Incendio!" I cry. It shoots fire and she dodges and get burned a little. She disappears behind some houses. Drat. Almost had her. Awake.
Awake: Dunno
Vividness: 12
Awareness: lucid
Length: 15 minutes
Emotions: excitement

Fell Asleep: impossible to tell
Dream Title: Make sure everyone is ok
Dream:
I do the same as last and I still don't know if I woke up. I will count it though. Back at the Dream army base. I notice all the people are gone I must have teleported them away. I thought. I jumped into the red ribbon and appeared at the grocery store. The good Cat-girl was there.
"You shouldn't leave the ribbon because it is too dangerous." She says. Her smile never falling from her face.
"I am not afraid of anyone out there." I say. I know that I have to treat dreams as real as possible to keep them realistic, so I don't say why.
"It is much more powerful," she says "they are not happy with you."
"Are the people alright?" I ask.
"I led them home." She replies.
I watch the city through a window. It has somehow gotten darker and more evil looking. I want to save the city from this darkness, but I also want to take the advice of the local. She doesn't know what I am capable of, but I know that I should limit myself before I demolish the other catgirl.

Awake: Not sure
Vividness: 13
Awareness: lucid
Length: 15 minutes
Emotions: A little creepy (these aren't really emotions, but it is the general feeling of the dream.

I think about writing down my dreams, but decide that it was too fun to forget. I RC and go back to sleep.

Fell Asleep: Forgot to check
Dream Title: Crazy neighborhood
Dream:
I feel the same way I did the last few times like I WILD into it, but I do not realize it is a dream. I do not know how, but my dream got me to think that I was in a video game instead. I am in a different place. It reminds me of my parents neighborhood. I run around and the idea of the previous dream lingers a little. I am fighting an army and I need to win. I do not know why though. I run into a leader and he lets me know that wolfmen (opposite of cute catgirls) are running around and we need to defeat them. I spend a long time going over lame strategies with him that make no sense. I wake up. I am in a room with some friends of mine and telling them about the "game" I was just playing. They said that they are in it too. I jump in and out of the dream multiple times and talk to my friends. Nothing big happens till the end when I get out of the dream and am talking to someone when all of the sudden I feel something behind me. I turn around and I automatically know that it is one of the strongest wolfmen (They look more like wolves, but walk upright). It has a bat and swings it at me. I dodge and it hits a door frame I was standing in. I kick at him and grab the bat. Spin around and while peeling it from his claws I swing it and hit him in the head. A little confused about how he got out of the game I wake up for real.


Awake: 8:00 AM
Vividness: 10
Awareness: 9 (I was really really close)
Length: an hour or more
Emotions: a bit scared, mostly having fun


Notes: Google search that image for a full size image of that cat-girl. It is uncanny how similar she looks to the dream girl except the dream girl wasn't animated.

I was in a dogfight with some Germans over some islands in the Pacific Ocean, though most of these islands were small and uninhabited, and only consisted of small, ambient buildings. I shot down a few planes, before I got shot down, I ejected, landed in the water, near a few of my teams, and they were all swimming towards a near by island. Once I made it to land, alot of my team were soaking wet, exhausted, some wounded, and others just standing around. I kicked around, until I found a large rock hidden underneath the sand. I began to dig it up, and it turned out to be a large human vertebrae! I dug even deeper, and found another one! Even deeper still, I found the Mandible, and below that was the top portion of the skull. I dug up 4 giant bones, which were seemingly human, and it occurred to me that these were the islands of Lemuria, and this was one of the inhabitants! I was extremely astonished at the discovery, to where I called Miyuki to tell her about my findings! She was blown away as well!

Next, I was with a female criminal in the city at night, learning how to become an efficient killer and thief, avoiding police officers, car jacking, and jumping over fences and other obstacles.

Later, I found myself to be superman, except I was evil, and I was flying around schools, highways, and streets, causing mischief and confusion amongst the on-lookers. I recall flying very very close to cars on a busy roadway, making drivers drop their jaws in awe, and at a point, I caused a traffic jam, and I Stopped in mid-flight, turned to a car, and kicked in gently, and the side crumpled and smoked began coming out from the car. I then decided to really kick it, and it crumpled up, and shot far off to the side, somehow causing all the surrounding cars to crash into them selves, and it was a big violent mess of twisted metal and screaming. I noticed someone trying to stop me, they were also 'super' and I tried flying away, and we ended up having a 'cat and mouse' chase around this town, jumping on roofs and cars and such.

Even though I was careful not to move as I remembered this dream, and I thought I had it, but when I did move, the fragment became even more fragmented.

This was another dream about dreaming. It started out with a question asked on DV. I don't remember the question but it was asked by someone experienced for the sake of helping teach beginners. It had to do with differentiation of dreams, categorization of them.

I remember thinking that the distinction was easy for me, and answering the question.

This was not a lucid dream.

EDIT: after more sleep around 7am did not remember additional dream or fragment, but remembered a bit more from this one:

Question: Experienced dreamers, how do you change entries in a dream journal to help prepare for lucid dreaming? (Note: Upon waking this question is weird to me and has no clear and easy answer, but in my dream I thought it was easy.)

My dream answer: Focus on dream signs. Do not concentrate on what makes this dream unique. (Note: I know there was more to my dream answer, but that's all I remember.)

This is sort of confusing, because the actual content of last night's dream was me on Dreamviews, typing and trying to recall what had happened in the dream that I had just had. The dream that I was typing about had something to do with me at some beach. I can also remember something about walking along a boardwalk that was crumbling away.
False awakening at it's finest.

So I had an interesting dream last night. Here goes...

I am riding in a car with a person that I do not know. We are driving up to this small cul-de-sac high up on a hill in the middle of a city. There are 4 or 5 nice suburban looking houses on the right as you pull in, and then on the left is a giant wooden mansion with a clock tower in back. I ask the person I'm riding with "Wow, whose house is that?" The man simply stated "I think you know". (Now at this point I remember thinking to myself that I actually did know something about this house. I was thinking, I have dreamed about this house before I am pretty sure. But after that tiny thought I lost any semblance of lucidity for the remainder of the dream.)

So we pull up to the side of the house, and the entire side is completely burned through. I get out of the car and walk into the house, which also looks like it had been in a fire, except for the curved staircase along the far side of the wall. I do remember that I had an ever so slight feeling of something not being right, but it wasn't enough to stop me from proceeding. As far as I can remember, a younger girl appeared at some point walking around in the house, probably somewhere between ages 16-19. I remember vividly she was absolutely beautiful, but I cannot recall a single detail about her appearance. Through talking to her I discovered that she was a ghost, but she appeared as if she were a normal living person. I do also remember at no point being afraid of her.

At this point the dream skips, and suddenly there are two houses where the mansion once stood. On the left, there is a run down looking wooden house but it still has the clock tower. On the right is a nicer, newly built suburban looking home that is very similar to the others I described before. So I went into the nicer house on the right, and the ghost girl was there again. The dream skips slightly at this point as well, but I distinctly remember walking upstairs with the ghost girl thinking "Boy I hope my wife doesn't find out about this". So we proceed to go upstairs and have sex, and it was pretty vivid. I won't go into details (for obvious reasons), but one detail I will provide (as it is the only tie in to what I will type about my background below) is there was a television involved. We didn't watch anything on it, but the TV itself was involved in the "activities" so to speak. Then I woke up.

*************************************
Ok, so a couple of things that I am more curious about than others...what was with the clock tower? Absolutely nothing happened with it in the dream, but it was distinct enough that I remember noticing it and commenting on it to myself in my head twice in the dream. And two, why would I be having sex with a teenage ghost girl?

Some background on me, I am 26, married and have a young son that is about 18 months. We have a very happy marriage with no relationship issues. We did have a conversation last night at dinner about getting rid of our TV though. We both agreed that we have been watching too much of it and we needed to do other productive things. I'm sure this is why the television appeared in my dream, but it was such a small part of my dream. I am really curious at where the other things in my dream came from.

Thank you all in advance for any help with this. I look forward to reading your responses and I will provide any other information necessary to make an interpretation of this dream.

I just woke up with a headache and my hair is irritating me!

I was supposed to me Jerimiah(friend) in the dream on a big grassy field. A few other people are supposed to meet up with us shortly to prepare for our first day working at the child care center. I couldn't remember who some of these other people on the field were. We eventually all met up with each other and started to perform activities together.

I could remember spending a bunch of time doing a lot of fun stuff with Jerimiah and these few other people, but I can't remember what exactly it was that we were doing. I had fun with them. It helped me get rid of the anxiety I had before I walked in to the child care center. I'm also really shy, so I felt like I was being forced to get the shyness out of me(my father put me in the class so I wouldn't stay at home all day).

We all soon had to get ready to leave each. Jerimiah asked out on who was willing to go to the care center and work with the kids. There were two other boys who volunteered, but I just waited until Jerimiah called out my name. I went. As for Jerimiah and the other couple people with us, they went back somewhere else. I followed the two other guys in to the care center building.

We soon entered the building and started seeing the teachers and children around. The teachers were staring and for the children, they were playing on the floor. The teachers looked at us all suspiciously as if we were up to something wrong. Nothing went wrong. I continued following the two boys and eventually walked in to a room in which we had to work in. We all sat on the floor while a teacher was speaking and waited there patiently until the dream ended.

Dream 1(fragment):

There was some indoors area and i was dodging traps.

Dream 2:

I can't quite recall start of the dream, but i was in the village of some kind with family, we had to move somewhere so we transformed into various birds, i was duck. We flied through a bunch of areas including some sort of forest and cave and the physics were somewhat weird, it felt weird too, like though transformation was full it didn't felt full and i was sorta feeling both forms at same time or something, not sure. As we reach our destination, dream skips.
I was with my family again and we were in some shack near sea. We had to go somewhere again and i was finishing some stuff on my PC. I was playing minecraft or some similar game apparently, and it was weird in a way that i could use any login data. I had really long nick and password so i was worrying that i forget it, i changed password to "aaaaa"...
I got distracted from PC and had some discussion about anime, can't recall it but after it i watched new episode of some anime which i can't recall as well and then got back to my PC. I decided to check save data in that minecraft game, i needed it for some contest that would be going on in place we was moving to now. My player character was in nether village of some kind and there were also other player characters(I guess it was MMO), i especially recall some player looking like female version of steve combined with some sort of fire/lava slug(and by that i mean it was literally two different models in one). The houses were made of nether brick and there were no nether mobs in area apparently. I went to some secret spot and started digging out something that i hide there. It was an orange-colored cow, and i planned to use it for that contest somehow. I got interrupted by dad asking what's that for and i got annoyed and started explaining that it's for 'hilarity' and something related to memes.
Back in minecraft game i was hiding cow back into secret area and setting up summoning word that would be easy to remember(can't recall what was it). Then i was just exploring nether village for a bit. I exited and next on my todo list was to make sure that windows drivers are fine for moving. Then dad was quite worried that drivers that we get after moving might be not compatible with windows 7, but i was getting annoyed and telling that it's non-sense. We were about to move but i forgot login info again somehow so i had to quickly check it. Dream ended shortly.
