non-lucid

I have been completely swamped for the past few days, but I've still been trying to remember my dreams and smoke less before going to bed. So here's what I got from the last four nights.

Feb. 18

I want to say that I took 50 mg of zinc a few hours before bed and 10 mg of melatonin at bedtime for this. I think it was this night....

Almost Like A Lucid.... [Non-Lucid]

This dream was long and I don't remember a lot of the build up to it, but I do recall that around when my memory comes in I had the perception that I was viewing something that had happened earlier in the dream again from a different perspective, like I had gone back in time to watch it. I'm not sure if this event had actually happened earlier or not, but it sure felt like it did. I was standing in front of a building in some downtown area watching a crowd of people walk through the front doors, and among them was the past me. I also saw this girl walking not too far from me and decided to possess her, but she got into the building before I could get up to her. I easily rewound time and caught her before she went in again and entered her body. Then I just kept walking into the building to see what all the fuss was about. The inside looked just like some kind of mini-mart like a 7-Eleven but maybe just a little bit fancier. As I walked around I started thinking about some imaginary superhero story I was apparently making, specifically in relation to the villain. I had an idea about how to start them out with something like mind reading or telepathy and move it up to body possession through some kind of power increase, but I can't remember exactly what it was now. At that point the dream became a little less vivid and I shot forward through the wall (smoothly phased) and started flying over the field I was next to, since this place was now a stop on a highway out in the middle of nowhere, and as I was admiring it I woke up.

Feb. 19

I'm fairly certain I took a 10 mg melatonin here, too.

#1 - I'm Sure He Can Handle It [Non-Lucid]

I was hanging out with my friend N when we somehow became aware of the fact that our mutual friend R (who I met N through) had been taken hostage somewhere. We were in a house that I believe somewhat resembles my aunt and uncles' old house from like fifteen years ago, but I barely remember it. I decided to call his cell phone to see if he could pick up, but his voice message had been changed to some guy with a really heavy British accent talking about how we had reached some kind of game development company or something. I tell N that he must have been taken hostage by British criminals who had changed his message so that they could pretend to be a legit company and no one would know to save him, and that we have to go rescue him right away, but added that "I still have a class to go to today. " I turned my head and saw a TV with a commercial playing in the corner of the room. The audio to it was talking about something along the lines of making your own robot, but all the video was showing was a guy wrapping himself in plastic and trying to mold it to make armor out of it. I instantly feel that R might've seen this commercial too and had the same idea, and so he may already have been able to escape on his own.

#2 - Lucid Dreaming Tutorial [Non-Lucid]

The main thing I remember about this dream is walking around the park by my house with my mom and coming across these kids, like three or four boys around eight to ten years old if I remember correctly. They asked me how to fly in a lucid dream so I showed them, though I did something totally different than I actually do in a lucid (which this was not), which was like this multiple jumping thing kind of like in a Mario game. Despite thinking that this was my normal routine, I could tell that it felt really odd as I was doing it, though I didn't know why. However, I still did manage to fly, but they didn't quite understand my method. I just told them I'd see them again some time and teach them more later on, because I guess I was busy at the moment.

#3 - Dream Fragment [Non-Lucid]

I was giving someone recommendations and tips about which Nippon Ichi Software game to play.

Feb. 20

Poor Judgment Calls [Non-Lucid]

I didn't actually write this one down, so my memory of it is kind of faint now. Basically what I remember is that first I was at my house with my cousin K, then something involving Marona from Phantom Brave happened (I think she might have been my cousin at first that turned into her?), and then I was with JB, this guy I used to hang out with who was pretty sociopathic. We were in my room and my parents kept bothering us, and we were trying to get them to leave us alone so we could have sex (eep ). We never got them to go away before I woke up, though.

Feb. 21

#1 - I Wonder What It Was.... [Non-Lucid]

The part of this dream before my recall really kicks in was at a store, but that's about all I can remember about it. What I do remember is being at a family party at my house, and everyone was gathered in the living room to congratulate this guy I don't recognize for doing something.... I'm not sure what it was, but I know that I felt that either I deserved it or at least he didn't deserve it, or something along those lines. I was being sort of rude and went to the kitchen to sulk alone because I couldn't stand to be in the room for all that, but at one point the guy came in and tried to make me feel better and I started just trying to get over it. My cousin A walked in and started saying something about these bowls of grapes and cherry tomatoes that were sitting on the counter by me and managed to squeeze some open and wear them on the tips of her fingers just to be funny, and then they sort of just absorbed into her fingertips and disappeared and she left. >___> I turned around and my friend M's mom was there too, for some reason (it didn't even look like her, I just perceived that that's who she was). She started telling me about where she grew up, but I don't recall anything she was saying. The dream sort of shifted as it was falling apart, and I got a third-person flash of a Facebook page where someone was telling this girl A that I met recently that she was beautiful and an inspiration to everyone, and then I woke up.

#2 - If Only This Worked In Real Life [Non-Lucid]

I was driving around with some random guy and Linkzelda, and I was trying to show the guy how to get to our imaginary school campus by following Link's directions. At one point we parked and me and the random guy got out of the car at this apartment complex, and this guy who I somehow immediately knew was Jewish came up to us begging for help. He had a gun and said he had run out of bullets for it and was being chased by a group of people, and there was some situation with more guns in an apartment upstairs. The guy that we were showing the campus decided to be a hero and ran off to that upstairs place, and the Jewish guy ran off frightened as he saw the group of people coming after him again. At that moment I realized that they might see me if I'm not careful, so I started whispering to myself "I'm not here, I'm not here...." and getting into a meditative state. I dropped the perception of my body and started floating up away from the scene, but then I looked down at one of the guys running by and got sucked into his body. The dream jumped around a little and I was in some hazy perception of something about a guy and some really attractive woman with guns, but it's so blurry that I can't really recall what was going on now.... And that's the last thing that happened before I woke up.

Final thoughts.... I'm noticing a definite increase in the amount of dream control techniques I employ in non-lucids these days. And it's not just from the examples shown here, it's been happening more and more lately. I wonder if it's because of the way I try to drop awareness in lucids anyway and just run with it; maybe I simply recognize the similar state of mind and use it without acknowledging what it implies?

Underworld

I'm dead. There's a sarcophagus down here in the underworld with me. I'm not exactly sure what dead people are supposed to eat, so I try eating some dead flesh. Then I try eating a pebble.

Suddenly my roommate arrives. It occurs to me that since the underworld is the great equalizer, he could be from literally anywhere in the world. I'm not sure what language I should use to introduce myself. For that matter, I'm not sure what I should give as my birthplace. He probably won't know of my hometown, so should I mention my state? Maybe just my country?

I leave the room in search of my keys and my shoes, neither of which I currently seem to possess. I find two of my high school friends in a common area, acting like they're in the show Doctor Who. They're trying to simulate a thunderstorm. Such weather never happens in the underworld, and I feel a sudden wave of pity for them: they must miss being alive. They succeed in creating a clap of thunder, and to my surprise a portal opens that can only lead back to the living world. Who would have guessed that being a Doctor Who fan could be so useful? My friends celebrate their success for a moment, but before they can go through the portal, another voice speaks. It introduces itself as Robert Downey Jr., and some how he found out about their plan. Now he's betrayed their plan to the authorities, and they won't be able to escape.

Correct Change

I'm trying to find the right change to pay for my groceries at the local supermarket. But what I thought were bills turn out just to be a bunch of green coupons that are good for 2% off something or other. I try to figure out if I can use one of them with this purchase.

At another time, I'm trying to find all the loose change in my room and organize it. Just when I thought I'd found all my little copper coins, I find an entirely new stack of them that I hadn't remembered existed. I feel overwhelmed by all the pennies. Too many pennies!

Dream 1(fragment):

I recall something about headache...

Dream 2(fragment):

I recall something about some kind of book

Dream 3:

There was some area that i was exploring with some people that were some of my classmates from the past and some cartoonish characters. The area itself was grey, industrial-looking. At certain points the view was switching to another myself who was apparently switching traps on, so i guess i was the creator of this place or something. There was one moment where people had to jump down the tube to the floor below and at the point most of people were falling thru the tube i switched to the trap-controlling myself and activated the switch that removed the floor and exposed lava below it, thus screwing most of people up. Though some found a way around that, i especially recall someone summoning some sort of plane.
Later on i came to the end of area with the bunch of people who were survived, and we were apparently about to attack the enemy base. I had some time to select weapons and equipment and when i opened my inventory it was full of stuff. There were weapons, ammo, power items, though the only items i can recall in detail were the white assault rifle, which i had a few exemplars of for some reason(maybe picked up from people who died to traps earlier on?), so i had to drop some of them to clean up the inventory, and also there were two red battery things that according to tooltip added '10% defense' per one when added to upgrade slots, which i had 5 of, i decided to use both of them along with 3 other upgrade items. Also it was confusing to clean up the inventory because i had some slots having only a single bullet in them, and those bullets were for weapons that i did'nt even had...
Either way we went to attack the enemy base, but my recall goes downhill at this point, for the most part i recall that i was mostly shooting the enemies with the white assault rifle, which was shooting slow white projectiles. Later on i was talking to some mechanical transforming thing(i am not sure but it may have been 'Ice Element') and suddenly music of my IWL alarm started playing and there was credits roll synced to that music somehow. Dream ended shortly.

Wednesday, 2/20/13 Bed 12am-8am

Some people and my mom are bugging me, when am I going to get married. I have enough of it so I say, fine, I'll do it. They are showing me some wedding gowns and I point at one of them without really looking at it, because I have not intention of getting married.

Suddenly the wedding day arrives. I'm just lounging and feeling really bad, how did it come to this, when i didn't wanna get married. I'm looking at the dress and it looks horrible. I would never wear anything like that. I'm angry at myself why did i agree to this.

I'm talking to two guys, whose brother is my groom. His last name is Nesmith and I tell them I'll remember that, because it's the last name of character in Galaxy Quest. I have never even seen my future husband. I walk towards his house, eventhough he said not to. I see him walking by not being happy about me being there.

*Not a happy feeling from this dream. Btw, it's a 4th dream about my wedding in last 2 month. That's enough, please no more.

Not-Dream

I was walking through a town with Kane and Jake. I was eating a large chocolate bar. After a couple of minutes of walking and talking about a film we wanted to see. Jake grabbed my chocolate bar and threw it across the road, into a wall on the other side. It just barely missed the people walking on the other side of the road.

I suddenly got really angry really quickly. I yelled at him to go get it back but he refused and carried on walking. I swore at him and then crossed the road to go get it back. I picked it up and it was exactly as it was when I had it before. The hit with the wall seemed to do nothing to it. I carried on walking but refused to talk to Jake. (I normally never get angry in real life. I also rarely swear so it is really weird thinking about this dream because it's completely unlike me).

I was playing Leaugue of Legends, but then in virtual reality mode. Someone came to kill me but I freeze him in solid ice and throw him in a nearby trashcan. He breaks out and attacks again but I just freeze him again and throw him back in, which was pretty amusing.

I started out at school. We were tasked to do a chemical analysis and I was busy with it. Strangely, I was in my elementary school where they obviously don't have the equipment for it. Anyway, while busy with my analysis I was suddenly invited by classmates to join some kind of organization. I decide to join, while not knowing anything of it, and continue on while forgetting about it. The analysis goes well and I'm tasked to set up a distillation. I didn't manage to do that however because I got confused as to what I needed.

I walked around with rut, in a house, it appeard abandon, we found a smal room, with stairs, pritti steep, i or she wanted to look if there is something to find... / she explains to my whay it as, that we cant be together, a lot of reasons, i remember that it was something about money... and she also sad things, which i did not agree with, so i told her....

----

i laying in a bed, with a jeune girl, her parents where in the other room, she wanted to make love to me, it was in the morning, i knew, i would come right away, so i wanted to kiss her, i really liked her, then her parrents called, she wanted to go away with me, but her parents didn't allow that, for me, that caused no problem, but she was a bit pissed, finally it was o.k, so i think

First

I just appeared in a large room. I was looking at three beatiful King Charles Spanials in a big sectioned off part of the room. One was pushing a pillow along his polished floor boards. It was a posh, spacious place to leave your pedigree show dog. They are fed, looled after and played-with, for you, for a price. You only have too pop-in dailly for an hour to spend time with them and also go with them to public shows.

Second

There was another dream where a man was riding a bike. He said he peddles 200 rounds at a time. I asked "how far does 200 peddles take you?" He said, "Oh, mmmm, about 200 yards".

I think he peddled from home to where his show dog was kept. I might have dreamt about him before I appeared inside the very clean show dog house.

Then I drank from a larg wide glass. The water was not cold enough. When I put the glas down there was a big black, brown and white goldfish in it. It looked cramped in the big glass. I had drank half its home. If I dont get it a bigger home with colder water it will kind off smothercate and die.

Next, I' filling a tank fot it. Then I find three packes of "tiny-bubble" ice cubes (the kind in cellophane) and quickly start popping them out into the new fishtank to make the water nice and chilly for the small atlantic salmon.

The salmon talks to me because the cold, clean water brings him so alive and happy.


Third

Then I notice the bike man took a bridle and hung it up in a horse stable. Half the bridle was soaking in clear water or oil so it would be very clean and comfortable for his show horse. I didn't see a horse.

All this dream seemed to reflect how I can't have a pet were I live. All these nice pets where housed and cared for at a place, for a fee. And folks could visit their beloved pet (dog, fish or pony) after school or work before going home to sleep.

tiny bubble wrap ice cube thingy made this song pop into my.mind.

I don't drink (!!!)

But may be the dream is saying "buy a Siamese fighting fish. They happily spend there lives in tiny puddles so are happy living in jars so long as the water temp is good.

I dont have family or friends and I can't have a pet. I gave my mouse back to the pet shop after 4 weekes because his strong sent was betraying him to the landlady.

Maybe I should try again with a secret

Nonlucid: I was having Josh issues again. I remember walking up to him and giving in to something we were discussing. I was about to resign to making out, when I suddenly woke up on the floor! Danny had just come to my rescue, and scooped me up and we started making out. I remember thinking that I hope Danny doesn't find out about Josh O_O. Then I remembered I needed to get something in the kitchen, but it was the kitchen at my parents' house. Then I woke up for real. (NOTE: Josh was from about 8 years ago, and I'm 100% faithful to Danny. That's dream logic for ya.)

I blame Xanous for this FA because we were just discussing them yesterday. Everytime I talk to him about something, it seems to happen in my very next dream. DAMN YOU, PSYCHIC TWIN!!

DR 3pm
I'm at grammas. (Seems like every second dream is at grammas lately).
I got into altercation with someone, but I really didn't do anything. So I'm getting dressed, because police will be there to get me any moment now.

It was longer, but I didn't get up after it ended, went back to sleep. Had pretty good feeling from this dream.

Captain Chris Pike is in front of me in a large, metallic room, illuminated softly from above. An accessway is to my left. I sense that an alarm may be going off somewhere though I don't hear anything. I do feel the room shaking and I suspect the ship is in damger.

Suddenly the thick deckplate below my feet becomes translucent and glows with a bright white light. I can't even imagine how much energy it would take to cause that to happen but I suspect it's incredible. It pulses slightly and a whooshing sound fills the room, much like when Jodi Foster is about to take her voyage in the machine.

The energy waves pass through both of us and I can see Pike is visibly affected. He skaes a bit and I realize he is becoming ultradense, impermeable and strong. I am likewise affected but I can't seem to move from the spot I'm in. Nothing I cna do will prevent what's happening.

The knowledge that Pike is changed fills me though I can't yet see any reason why it should. I realize he is angry, about to commit horrible crimes, and it will be up to me to ultimately defeat him, though it may come at the cost of my own life.

And that's all I recall right now.

Let's see what I remember...

I'm on the ground floor of the office building I worked in for 10 years, tile floors and hallways leading in four directions from a central elevator column.

I walk along the hall towards the back entrance of the building but the doors lead into a glass-lined hallway that runs along the back of the building to either side. As I approach the glass I catch a quick glimpse of a man who I know to be Emperor Palpatine, but I recognize him and think of him as Count Dooku. What's really weird is that he looks more like a bulky version of Darth Maul. This bulky Dooku is striding purposefully with an angry expression and I can tell he is heatedly discussing my whereabouts. He has been after me for a long time and for him to show up now, practically in my face, is truly frightening.

I ducked quickly out of sight by back-pedaling and walking to the side hallway. I peer around and watch him pace back and forth a little, giving orders to various hunters to search everywhere for me. I'm panicking slightly but I knew that only one person could help me now...my dad.

What, what? My dad? Well, that's who I was thinking about but as I concentrated on trying to bring him to me I remembered that my father was in California so I had better summon someone who had experience with Dooku. SO I summoned Yoda.

Yoda appeared and walked through the building towards the back hallway with the intention of fighting Dooku. I saw one of the hunters heading my way and I stepped back and ducked into the nearby bathroom. There was no place to hide in it, not really, and I suddenly became worried that Yoda would lead them to me. I had to act quickly without leaving my hiding place.

I placed my hands on my head and telepathically let Yoda know not to lead Dooku to the bathroom, though I did think it remote that Dooku would dare come to a woman's restroom. Still, couldn't take the chance.

After I thought this an attractive young woman walked in and I became distracted by her flimsy skirt and the open door that might allow a hunter to see me. I think this is when the dream shifted and I ended up in the creek.

*note - Dooku. Yeah...
