non-lucid

I don't normally write down my dreams in the middle of the night because I've just been too lazy. But last night I woke up twice––once at about 2 AM and again at about 5 AM and remembered a couple of dreams each time. This time, I forced myself to write them down on my iPod so I wouldn't forget them. So, I remembered a total of four dreams last night, which is pretty good for me!

1. I’m filming a TV show with my friends, which I believe included Sarah Jayne, Cara, Megan, and Luna. The TV show is supposed to be semi-autobiographical I guess––that is, I think it’s supposed to be based on reality, even though it isn’t really but oh well. Supposedly we’ve been working on this TV show for a long time and now we’re nearing the end of the whole series. In the episode we’re filming, Sarah Jayne becomes a police officer. We’re all walking down the street together and Sarah Jayne is in the lead, talking into a walkie-talkie and being all police officer-y. There's apparently some criminal after us. We run down some stairs that lead down into a subway. Right about when the criminal is about to catch up to us, we stop filming. We all sit down on the stairs and start laughing and crying with joy, because we are overwhelmed since we're getting near the end of the show.

2. My family and I are camping out at what I think is supposed to be my grandparents’ house. My little siblings are all sleeping in tents. Annabelle and Teddy spill mini candy canes in their tent. I can’t actually see inside their tent since I’m standing on the outside, but I hear my parents scolding them about it and I see the half-empty bag of candy canes on a table nearby.

3. I'm at this weird dance place and I'm dancing with some random girl. And then we all have to switch partners and I have to dance with this really tall guy with a beard and a hat. Everyone laughs at us because of the height difference, because he’s like three feet taller than me. We're doing some kind of line dance. Suddenly there are lots of little kids around, and we all start to randomly sing.

4. I’m supposed to go to drawing class but I wake up late. I go to this weird little bathroom that’s like a small wooden cabin built into the middle of the house. I see Sarah Jayne and we get on this wagon thing, which we apparently use to get to class. We ride through a field and this guy gets onto the wagon with us. He’s supposedly my teacher and he says this time he can excuse me for being late, but next time he won’t.

We’re riding through a field and suddenly there are all these weird hybrid creatures walking by––like cows and giant chickens with human legs (who are also wearing clothing) and also couples of people sharing one pair of legs. We start following these creatures around. One of the weird chicken creatures starts peeing corn kernels. Sarah Jayne and I thin this is funny and we have some conversation about eating poop for some reason. Then we stop and talk to this lady who apparently made all these creatures and she explains to us how she did it. Something about sewing them together or something sketchy like that.

No dream recall

WILD – I couldn’t keep my mind focused and I drifted off to sleep normally after what felt like 10 minutes.

River Crossing
I am flying over the Nile river when I decide to go for a Dark Tower dream shared with MoSh. I land on a beach and let the dream stabilize before opening a portal. I realize I am not alone on the beach. There are people there, and it looks like they are attacking me. They are all armed with swords, axes, and other melee weapons. I go through the portal and shut it in their faces without giving them much attention. On the other side I am in a field with MoSh. I get his attention and tell him we can go to the Dark Tower now… when I left them they were almost to Ludd. I open another portal and go through. I take MoSh with me. Now we are in the small town just outside of Ludd that is called River Crossing. There is a gun aimed at my head.

Roland, who had aimed at me, lowers his gun and says popping in like that is a good way to get myself shot. He adds to MoSh and me to keep our eyes open, there are others in this town and we are being watched. A couple of really old people come out of the buildings to greet us. A man leading a blind woman. He seems to be in awe of Roland, exclaiming about finding a gunslinger after he thought all of them had passed from this world. The woman seems worried that we might be harriers. Everyone is in agreement to get off of the main road, so we go into the buildings. The interiors of the buildings are much better cared for than the outside, no doubt to camouflage the presence of these people. I look out of a window and see a good view of the road below. They were surely watching Roland and the others from shortly after they entered town. I see there are people out there, and I think they are the same people that tried to attack me on the banks of the Nile. The man is watching them, he says he doesn't like the look of them. Harriers, most likely. Not to worry, the harriers never hang around here for long, they are heading for Ludd no doubt. The blind woman shudders, the man reassures her that it is certainly safe here in the presence of a gunslinger. He says it was harriers that blinded her about 25 years ago, they used a fire poker, and they did it because they said she looked at them too defiantly. The woman shudders again. We go farther into the buildings, the man says they have lookouts that will tell them if the harriers get closer. I think maybe I should go out there and get their attention… after all, they were after me back at the Nile. They couldn't be ordinary harriers. I don't want to lead my enemies to the people of River Crossing. I tell MoSh he can stay with the others and enjoy the dream, hopefully remember something of it… but I'm going to lead my uninvited guests away. He does not object. The old people say there is no need to do that, the harriers will leave on their own. There's nothing left in River Crossing to keep them. MoSh is talking to an elderly woman about dreams. I turn and leave the group of people, sneaking out through a small hole to avoid revealing the main entrance. I call to the intruders and tell them if they want me come and get me. They yell that there she is, and they all come after me at once. I run down the street for a ways before turning a corner away from the place where the people are hiding. The harriers follow me. I open a portal and go through it, not really caring where it goes. I never find out where it leads… I wake up.

Home Invaders
I wake up in bed, not realizing I am dreaming. I roll over to go back to sleep but I hear noise in the other room. I grab a pole that I have near my bed, I keep it there since for a short while I had been trying to learn to use it as a staff, and I sneak to the door of my room.

There are people in the other room. I think I need to call the cops. They are tearing the place apart, throwing stuff all over, emptying drawers and cabinets. They seem desperate to find something. They are breaking stuff. I go to get my phone to call the cops, just then one of the men pushes past me into my room as if I am not even relevant. They don't seem to care at all that I have seen their faces. The man starts tearing my room apart, which pisses me off. I jab him with my staff and tell him to cut it out. He seems to notice me for the first time. He says if I would return what I stole then they wouldn't have to look for it. I can't think what I stole. I can't remember stealing anything from anyone. The man resumes his search. I jab him harder with my staff. He pulls out a sword and cuts right through my cheap staff. He points the sword at me and tells me to return the artifacts. I tell him I have no idea what he is talking about, which I don't since I am not lucid. He laughs and says something about me not being dangerous, they must have just sent a bunch of incompetent morons before. I see a Templar symbol on his sword. Templars… reality check time… I pinch my nose and find I am dreaming… and my home is being invaded by Templars! I drop the remaining piece of my cheap staff. I form Witchblade into a sword.

I tell the Templar to get out of my house, and he is the moron if he thinks I'd really keep anything of value hidden here. He glares at me. He tells someone to get me out of the way. I see motion behind me and I turn just in time to dodge an attacking sword and do a counter attack of my own with my Witchblade sword, running him through. I hear the Templar behind me say that there is nothing here. He tells me I won't have a moment of peace until I return what I have stolen. They start leaving through the front door, I am thinking I will have to clean up this mess before my mother wakes up. Instead I wake up.

Result of a few WILD attempts, not as good as yesterday or day before yesterday(I haven't posted both in DJ yet, need to find time to write them) but still one short lucid though, i need to practice to notice the shift to dreaming state.

Nap #1(non-lucid):

I and LV was playing an shmup video game with some sort of mspaint-ish graphics, i was controlling the level boss, LV was controlling the player character(both player and boss characters were girls). I was using various patterns looking at the list on the side of screen for the help on combos, LV was dodging them easily though. Then i figured out that being close to player character automatically shoots small projectiles every now and then. Eventually boss character ended up ramming player character and player character was somehow stuck outside of screen. Dream ended shortly after.

Nap #2(non-lucid/lucid/FA):

Not only i missed transition completely, but started the false awakening with closed eyes, i heard that my mom entered the room, but it wasn't unusual since sometimes she wakes up close to the time i was taking this nap. She started trying to wake me up so i opened the eyes and took off headphones, mom was indeed in the room, but before i could say anything i noticed that sound from headphones was still there, though i truly woke up shortly.

Nap #3(non-lucid/fragment):

I was shooting yellow lasers from my fingers and accidentally burned my food that way, whoops.

Sleep – 12:40am
Wake Ups – 3:40am
Finial Wake up – 6:30am
WBTB – N/A

- I was trying to catch a spider/ a fly with a glass cup. The spider/fly was jumping/flying around my room.

- I was sitting in the passenger seat of a car. Someone I know was driving the car but I can’t remember who. I was looking out of the window looking for something that I could take and then trade for something else.

Rather meh dream recall today for some reason.

I was back in the school times apparently and i had to go to some sort of literature class. I was a bit too late and was the teacher was shouting on me but i did not really cared much. Then everyone was given books and some other stuff and we were sent to a different classroom, i got 3 huge books of sorts and was reading them on the way, i had ability to read very fast apparently(don't remember what books were about though). Upon entering the other classroom i noticed that most of the classmates had twin for some reason. Also teacher said that i forgot something in other classroom so i had to go back and get it. It was some electronic device apparently(don't remember what but it was small), as i got back i continued reading and the dream faded out eventually.

So, I bought some B6 vitamins yesterday to experiment with them a bit. I took one 100mg pill at about 7:00 PM last night, so that was probably about four or five hours before I actually went to sleep. It seemed to have no effect at all, but maybe that was because I didn’t take it close enough to bedtime. I’m going to be trying to use them once weekly, I think. And next time maybe I should try taking it right before I go to bed instead…?

Anyway, I recall a brief dream in which I’m at home, standing in the kitchen with my mom. I’m putting dishes away. I remember holding a big blue bowl at some point. One of my sisters is possibly there, too. My mom is talking about “Parks and Recreation” with me (probably this happened because I was watching it right before I went to sleep). And in the dream this confuses me a bit since I know my mom doesn’t like the show and therefore doesn’t watch it. (Maybe I should’ve taken this as a sign I was dreaming, haha.)

Dream 1 - I was in my local town and i saw what was being called the worlds largest sandwich although it didn't look that big. After having told my dad to Fuck off (i would never swear in front of my parents in real life) because of a disagreement in the local supermarket over me thinking a certain food was on the shopping list and trying to put it in the shopping trolley. The food was a small green/red fruit like object that looked a little shriveled. I walked away in a bad mood and went and took the worlds largest sandwich and ate it mostly. By this point i see some sort of party/carnival in my lower high street and while i'm there i see my friend (JB) and someone else who i don't know and isn't JB's boyfriend having what i assumed to be sex in the lower high street. There was a dip in the ground and they were down in that dip with some sort of wall behind them. Although it looked like they were having sex, i do not remember seeing any nudity apart from maybe there shirts being off. Also i think JB was still wearing her bra. Although i thought it was sex, she said 'don't put that in there' so i assume they weren't actually having sex. I then lay down next to them and threw the remaining sticks of something from out of the sandwich before falling asleep in dream world and waking up in the real world.

Dream Fragment 1 - I went to a very large house on a dark street and went to the bedroom at the very top. I was with someone i think i knew in reality but i can't remember who. I asked if it is possible to get lost inside the house and i also remember reading a letter about music in the bedroom on the top floor.

The dream begins with me and some other people with ak-47s running through the town shooting zombies. There are zombies everywhere and we shoot them all in the head as we make our way to this secret hideout. The secret hideout entrance is a giant Peter Piper slide that you have to climb up in order to enter. There are several different alternate tunnel ways but we climb straight up and reach the entrance. When we get in we are greeted by a boy who gets ready to shoot me but I disarm him and tell him that I am friends with zach who owns the hideout he lets us in and then we all go upstairs to the top of the building which overlooks the town. While there we meet the leader of the hideout who begins to tell us about how we have to start stockpiling weapons. He shows me a gun that he just bought for a million dollars and says he had 3000 rounds for the gun. He then tells me that I need to practice my german by reading the paper everyday. This tells me that the town we are in is a german town. Then we head out to the town to collect more weapons but the dream ends.

Pleiadian Planet (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I traveled to a different planet, this felt like it was a planet located in the Pleiades system called Erra.

Such planet was very alike to planet Earth, pretty much same sky, temperature and landscaping. Despite being the same weather as Earth, this planet had twelve suns.

Dust started at 9pm and Dawn at 1:30am. I was looking forward to start to explore this planet. The people there were also human, but with a much better Energy than we know at planet Earth.

Everybody would eat raw food on a vegan based died. Fire did not exist and even tho this planet and the houses had electricity, cooking food was something that was never considered.

This planet had five caves all around the continent I was at. Each cave had a dimensional portal linked to it to travel to other planets.

Weird trip to the wrong event. (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was going to some sort of mediumship event with a friend, we were going to give readings.

For some reason, we needed to drive on the rails of a train. There were several cars, trucks and trains driving. I wondered how bumpy the drive was going to get and hoped to not hit a train. I saw a few cops, but they were also driving on the train rails and they were OK with it.

It was nite and we saw a small white van. Such van was a hybrid vehicle (but not gas-hybrid, but van-boat hybrid) We pulled our car inside of the van and it fit perfectly. We needed to wait till we crossed the river to keep driving.

I was standing in a small corner, and it was hard to breath. I realized that a ton of people was in the van and it was hard to even move.

Here I woke up several times and fell back asleep chaining the dream into another dream. I also had some mild lucidity, but not enough to call it fully lucid. And I wanted to follow the plot of the dream.

We got to the place and I was getting reading to channel Spirit. For some reason, I found myself sitting in the general public seats rather than being at the podium. My friend (who now was a different medium) said we needed to sign, and he stood up from his seat and started to cheer people up.

Dream 1 Fragment - I was showing my best mate (TM) metalcore music because he doesn't normally listen to that.
Dream 2 Fragment - There was some sort of reversed magnetic field in my house because everything was becoming stuck to the roof. Also lots of stuff was floating and spinning outside the conservatory door.
Dream 3 Fragment - I was walking back through my local town and i went into a sweet shop about halfway through the town (there isn't one here in reality) to see 3 men, one of which was the owner of the shop, talking about going clubbing.
Dream 4 Fragment - I make a joke about my friend's (CDL) band while standing at the college reception.
Dream 5 Fragment - I see the girl i like (IH) from a distance down a long corridor/hall/hallway. She is with friends who i don't know and looks like she is practicing for some sort of drama performance, although i'm not sure if i knew it was a drama performance or if this was something i made up when i awoke. The lighting in the corridor is dark red/maroon although the lighting was not too strong.
Dream 6 Fragment - (I'm not sure if this was on the same night as it seems like a lot of dream fragments for one night however i have written it to be on Thursday so i will write it here) One of my friends (WS) and i are cycling and doing tricks on our bikes (i can't do tricks in real life) He was teaching people to do a certain trick (I've called it kick flipping when i wrote it down although i don't know if that's something you can actually do on a bike in reality or if that phrase is used for something different to what i saw) on a different friend's (AS) bike in some sort of video demonstration. The video demonstration was in first person and it felt like i was the one on the bike.

I remember seeing my college maths teacher (M) but not in my classroom. Somewhere dark which looked like it was underground. I had forgotten my maths book and M was complaining because i had forgotten it before as well.

I just summarised my dream themes in my personal journal.

4 themes keep coming up:

1. Being in trouble for being naked (usually pants down publicly).
2. Work related stuff (teacher training)
3. Memories of moving flat (I've moved 3 times in the last 18 months)
4. A lot of celebrities appearing in my dreams

With these themes (particularly the first 2) I seem to end up controlling the dream (even without lucidity). Perhaps it's because they are common themes? Last night I had a dream where I was pulling a sickie and didn't turn up to teach class. I also meet my students 20 years on who say they were not inspired by me. Throughout the dream I keep changing bits of the dream so I don't get sacked (e.g. when caught out and about by my boss I change her memory and click my fingers to end up in bed). I had control, but no lucidity - perhaps my mind is beginning to recognise the common themes and will end up adding lucidity to the control at a later date.

Also I dreamed later on about being in a restaraunt and having a discussion about why their final course is free. I'm also introduced to a girl who becomes interested in me, but ends up going home with a different guy, following which I'm slagged off by her friend by not being direct enough with women.

Dream 1(fragments):

I was on some sort of Dam and i and a few people were apparently supposed to protect it from something. Later i was searching evidence on something in some dark room.

Dream 2:

Apparently i was teaching how to lucid dream to my mom, next day she comes in and tells me that she had lucid dream by accidentally falling asleep while reading some sort of newspaper, she tells me the dream and i start seeing it from the side as an spectator(i don't remember it though). After she finishes i go back to normal view and congratulate her, then i go play some Warzone 2100. The map that i was playing had grid-like structure of hills with few entrance ramps onto each and there were alot of AI opponents, like at least 12 bases. I somehow managed to hold them off though using small group of units, i had artillery somewhere as well so i made 'Mantis Hover Truck' unit and built a sensor tower at the corner of the grid section my base was on. I managed to destroy a few bases and AI was taunting me through chat(AI don't uses chat IWL), dream ended soon after.
