non-lucid

Some Salsa Dancing (5:53)

I'm messing with the wiring in my car so I can do a power cycle on it and fix something. Then I realize I've been doing a lot of extra work. [My dream journal says that around now I "park and check car" and "Mom strikes," but I don't know what this means.] Later, I'm with my sister and we're trying some salsa dancing. We manage some really cool flips and barrel rolls. I feel like I'm inventing an all-new kind of dance.

Basement

I find myself in a crawlspace with periodic rectangular holes in the floor, leading to staircases that descend into darkness. I'm trying to find a lighted staircase so that I can escape from here. Eventually I find one, but there are other problems. I become lucid somehow, and risk looking into the darkness. The dream fades palpably, and in desperation I try to turn it into a sex dream. I suppose it works, after a fashion (no visuals), but I wake up soon afterwards.

Takeover

A villainous man takes the whole building hostage. Most of us are penned up alone in small rooms, separated from each other, but we can see what's going on in the building by looking at the various TV screens on the walls. Against orders, a naked woman in one room talks to the man. Smirking, he pushes a button that blows up the room she was in. I'm scared that there will be gore all over the room when the smoke clears, but fortunately, there is not. Then there are some explosions along the outside walls of the compound, and I know that the outside resistance movement is trying to break in and depose the villain. I wish they wouldn't try--they have no realistic chance of winning. But I leave the room to try and help them somehow.

I meet up with someone on my team and we run into a problem. There are no nearby enemies, so we try to solve it in a few different ways. After the last attempt, I say, "It's no use, we tried this last year." (This enemy takeover is a yearly occurrence, one we are cursed with until we find a way to escape it.) Suddenly, a door opens above us and an enemy comes out. When we get a clear look at his face, we see that it's "The Law" (from Rocket Jump's VGHS). He smiles nastily.

I know it's been a while, but I feel like this dream is worth writing down. I'll try to get back into the schedule.

I'm waiting for a ship at it's port. I don't specifically recall what my destination was, but I need to get on it. It finally arrives, and I get on. It starts out as a peaceful voyage, but as time goes on, the sea begins to get rough. Soon, we find ourselves steering away from waves and trying desperately to stay on board and keep the ship afloat. Sadly, we don't succeed. As a mighty wave crashes against the ship, our boat capsizes, sending us all overboard. I find myself swimming through the rough tides, searching for others. I finally find a few of my friends and we begin to swim to shore. After a while of swimming, we come across an odd, carnivalesque island.

We're greeted by an odd looking man, who's tending to the entrance of a roller-coaster. He welcomes us and informs us that the only way to reach the center of the island is through the roller-coaster. As I get on it, I can't help but feel that I've been on the ride. The ride is horror-themed, and pretty basic, providing weak scares and basic horror elements, up until the end. We round a corner and see a bloodied woman, whispering to herself in the dark, when she sees us, she lets out a blood-curling scream. Our trail then turns away and goes down a drop before ending. While I'm exiting the ride, I awake.

I'm still having these incredibly vague dreams, but they're becoming easier to recall. Maybe my practice is working.

In my dream, I'm on a ship. I can't remember our exact destination, but I do remember it being very cold and foggy. As our trip continues, the sea begins to grow rougher. Finally, a large gust of wind and a large wave crash our boat and we wash up ashore an island. On this shore, here is a large cave acting as a tunnel leading to higher ground. We are all reluctant to enter it, but finally I do. Once we get to higher ground, I notice that it's cold and snowy. Before me is a tundra, encircling a collection of small, but stable looking huts. The styling of the small town is industrial, and weak lights illuminate the short passageways acting as roads. Suddenly, the wind picks up and the people of the town begin to panic. I follow one into a house and find safety. Just as I ask him about the town, I awake.

Strength: Faint
Type: Scary-Solid
Lucidity: No

Haven't had notable dreams lately. When I do, they aren't as vivid as they usually are. Go figure. I start a dream diary and I stop having dreams. I'm almost hoping for nightmares.

Anyway, as fain as this one was, I'll try to give it the best description possible. I was somewhere in the mountains, strapped to a table with some kind of force preventing my escape. I don't recall if I managed to escape or if I was tortured there, but I remember a strong sense of terror. I also had the faint idea that I had been there a long time, perhaps my entire life.

I might start trying lucid dreaming to see if I can trigger a more vivid dream, but I see that as a last resort. I will turn to it if these weak dreams persist, though.

It starts out a pretty good dream. I am with my friend, Levi, and we are in a cabin of some sort at a campground somewhere. The cabin is actually really nice set with a flat screen and couches and what not. We are both sitting on the couch hitting his rasta bong I had mentioned in another dream. I walk outside and set the bong right in the entrance way on a small sidewalk. I walk into the second cabin right next to our other one. I turn around before I walk in and see my mom and john leaving our campsite and walking down the dirt road. I am worried they might see the bong but I don't seem to move it from its position. I am in the cabin with my brothers and Levi talking about something, not sure what.

Dream skip

I am going though a line that has two electric fences on both sides. It is a line for some type of campground police enforcement. It starts to become to narrow as I reach the little building where they give me the results of whatever I am here for. I get stuck and complain the fence is shocking the shit out of my legs. The officers tell me to go back a bit and jump over the side of the fence. I step down with my foot and it bends. I make my way over. They notify me I am now on probation.

Dream skip

I see myself in third person (as a memory) and I am walking with my friends when I slip and smack the back of my head on the ground. I wake up in a field to hear Levi's cellphone blaring right in my ear on full blast. I look over to my left and see him holding the phone now up to my face. I am still in a daze. It pisses me off being awaken from being knocked out so I act like it hurts the shit out of my head and scream in pain. Eventually the cellphone is still there but he is gone. I then see in a third person point of view Levi, Tyler, and a third guy unknown carrying grocery bags round and packed full of personal items and illegal things as well. I remember Levi staring at my third person view and saying something about if I wanted this I would get up (because I have actually wanted some bud lately). It switches back to me and of course I'm up. I see them come around the hill I was laying on and greet me. I tell Levi about his stupid ass phone blowing out my eardrum and me screaming in pain, because I thought now that it was just his phone and not him (even though I saw him). We eventually start walking towards the recreational grounds still carrying the bags. I tell them I'm on probation because there are campground officers patrolling the grounds. We walk on to the side of this hill with a bunch of people all grouped up down the hill, sort of in a line. We are towards the back and set the bags down on the ground. I see they have some of my clothes IRL packed in them, like my Sipknot shirt and others. I don't want the officers to confiscate my things, but I also would rather not be caught with illegal herbs while on probation. We are sneaking away and I look back to see some people we know standing in a group around our bags so the officers don't check them. We get out to the field again. I now see and recognize the third person in the dream and IRL. it is Frank the father in Everybody Loves Raymond dressed in a t-shirt and jeans like a younger person. Levi says that he is hungry, I say I'm fucking starving, so we all agree to head out to eat. We make it to a basketball court which has no hoops or anything, just a concrete slab pretty much. It is filled with bunches of people just standing around like on the hill. The officers make every one leave the court and go into these prison cells to the left of it. This is all outside, like just square cells and with no roof, just opened. I go into one with my brother Miles. I wake up after that.

I then close my eyes because I am still in a sleepy state and try to go back into the dream. The DEILD works. I wake up in the grass laying in the exact same sleeping position. I get up and am fully lucid. I am at a part of the dream I didn't mention before because I barely remember it. I am following a small group in a line. There is a hot chick that was in the line just like I had previously seen, but this time she catches my attention. She travels off the trail from the group to the right by herself, which she had done also previously. I swear my brain set me at this part in the dream to trick me into following her because I am trying not to induce sex in my lucid dreams lately because that is want I want to do 80% of the time when I am lucid. Sex excites me which wakes me up most of the time. I walk with her and walk out in front of her and ask her if she will follow me. I start walking towards the tree behind her and it immediately becomes super blurry. I completely forgot to stabilize and I wake up. I swear that girl was put there for me to fuck it up. I learned my lesson.

I was in a car with a girl. I was on the driver's side, but I was a passenger. The girl said, "I once dated one of you" referring to having dated a Jew. I slap/pushed her leg for saying that, but she didn't mean anything bad by it, and neither did I.

Having pushed her leg, I "touched" her, which opened up the field for us to get more personal. We were then in a restaurant and she sat closer to me.

Someone I know H came over and started acting like a mad man asking "WHAT IS GOING ON" and waving his hands around, then went off into the restaurant kitchen, as he was staff.

Alone, the girl and I kissed, though that wasn't vivid, and it was only one kiss, though a long one.

The dream faded from there.

I was in a creepy house, it seemed like I was in some kind of point and click game. I went through a couple rooms no problem, picking up random junk as I went along, including a giant loaf of bread. I met up with a guy with blue-ish black hair. We walked down a hallway when something happened (can't remember), so I reappeared in the first room. This time the guy was already there with me. I figured I did something wrong and decided this time not to take any items. It must have worked because the second room was quite different from last time (looked closer to the first room than a brand new room). But then The dream ended.

I remembered the next one pretty well when I woke up, but now it's pretty fuzzy. I'll update it later if I remember more. I was standing by this small castle thing, it looked like a sand castle but was pure white and stuck together like cement, almost. There was a little slide or ramp on the side, with a ball that rolled down, but it was tied to a string. I rolled it down and the ball went through this hole and made a click noise. I woke up, then went back to sleep and there was a sort of continuation, where I was back the same spot, only I rolled the ball down again and it didn't reach. I knew something was wrong, like that this ball and string meant something more or was a representation of the world or something, and that something bad would happen. Unfortunately I did not get to find out what because the dream ended here. I do remember something about an amusement park in this dream.

Next dream, pretty simple, I was looking at the english gumi site to see if the image was revealed yet. I listened to the demo song again.

First Dream

I was sat in my mum’s car while my mum was driving and my sister and her friend were talking in the back. Then we passed this creepy looking house and my mum, sister and her friend all made comments on how it’s meant to be haunted.
Next I remember looking at myself in a mirror. I was in a room I don’t recognise. It was filled with Victorian furniture and wallpaper. The lights went out and there was no light in the room but I could still see myself in the mirror. I didn’t even notice this in the dream. About 5 seconds later the mirror cracked and the face of a dead woman was right behind me. She had been brutally beaten up and blood covered her face. As soon as I looked at her face she let out the loudest high pitch blood wrenching scream and everything went black.
The dream faded back in and the mirror wasn’t cracked anymore. However now I was looking through the eyes of my dad. He was in the same room I was just in and next to him was my mum. The room went dark again and neither of them noticed. All they could see was themselves in the mirror.
The mirror cracked but nothing happened this time. About 10 seconds later the mirror cracked again and behind them about 10 feet was the same women as before. My mum and dad both turned around and both of them screamed. The dead women looked like she was wearing a nurse uniform but it was hard to tell because it was ripped in places and covered in blood. She then let out her scream again and then everything went black again. This woke me up at 1:56am.

Next Dream

I was around my friend Brady’s house. He had found an old puzzle game. You had to put all the pieces together and it would make a pyramid shape. Then you had to make another pyramid shape but this time it was hollow. Then these two fitted together. I was trying to do it when Brady’s mum walked in and started talking to him.
I finished the puzzle and it started to glow. For some reason this made Brady’s mum extremely angry and without think I threw the puzzle across the room at the wall.



Dream Fragments

- Brady and I were drinking coffee at a coffee shop. He pulled out a clock from his bag. It had a picture of a lion in the centre of it. As time went by the picture started to change and the lion got more and more angry. (This may have been part of the same dream as above but I’m not sure.)

- I walked into my bathroom and it was full of Christmas presents. They were only about 1cm3 big and there was at least a thousand of them all stack against the far wall. I picked a few up and they were all addressed to someone named “E” and they were all from my brother.

- I found about 15 darts. At the end of the dart, instead of there being stabilizer fins there was a round picture frame. In each one there was a different picture of people I know from school.

- My family and I were sitting at a table in a restaurant. Next to us was another family praying before they ate their food. A guy a few tables away was throwing stuff at them and shouting offensive things at them.

Was taking another nap:

I was playing Quake 2 multiplayer with LV (one of my internet friends), and we were playing a map that had huge tall room with spiral sort of staircase, and it had various exits on different levels of it. At first everything was going as normal and i was winning, then suddenly i was dizzy and in game controls became screwed up, apparently i was playing now with PSX controller instead of keyboard and mouse, but still had to switch weapons using keyboard. I ran my player character to upper levels of room to get more powerful weapons, got hyberblaster but it was out of ammo somehow, also i noticed that blaster had charged altfire mode as well as normal mode. Then i found supershotgun and went down to continue the fight, apparently friend's player character had model of Heavy from TF2 now instead of normal model. And he was spamming taunt animations or something, and not attacking. At this point i got very very dizzy, could barely aim and all, ridiculous controls did not helped either, so as i got close, friend's player character started speaking some nonsense and the dream faded out.

I was playing some kind of video game. You were given a palate with a bunch of clouds in certain shapes and you could place them at any height and position in the sky over a large meadow. The objective was to create a destructive storm, and the more destructive you storm, the more points you got.
I began arranging my clouds all in one area trying to create a large thunderstorm to complete the objective of the game. I should also note that this game had very realistic effects such as shadows and the ground below.
Eventually, I ran out of "money" and couldn't change the clouds anymore. I was taken down on the ground and given a small Jeep or something and was allowed to drive along a winding road and look at the different cloud formations that I had created.

My family, had for some reason decided to move to a third-world contry for four years just to experience it. We were all living in a large two-room tent that was filled with a wide array of clutter and supplies.
I cannot remember very many of the details. Just that everyone was sleeping one large inflatable mattress with a ragged blanket. I felt very uncomfortable and grimy the entire time.

My last dream of 2012 was a very intriguing one.

I was at my friend's birthday party after having a conversation with her about missing it. We were at the Doctor Who experience in Cardiff, Wales. Everything around us started to come to life and started to want to kill us. We all start to run and I end up on my own in a dark, abandoned hanger. I was in the Falklands and ended up on a James Bond level of awesomeness mission. I started alone and made my way through this compound full of doctor who monsters. I moved through all the think tree cover and warehouses. There were loads of dinosaurs and other deadly and dangerous creatures. I walk through this warehouse and find three dinosaurs, two smallish ones and a very large one. I end up shooting the two smaller dinosaurs and then run like mad because the bigger one starts to roar and look like it's gonna eat me. oops. I manage to get to the end of this 'test' thing and find it's like the exit to my school that I walk down with this dinosaur (like a brachiosarus) and find this other woman. When I meet her this dinosaur stops and snarls at me before starting to talk to her. I make up with this dinosaur and it turns around and walks back to the warehouse, complaining that I shot it in the tail. I then get into a landrover discovery with this woman and we drive down the road to MPA, past all the aircraft hangers and it's started to snow. She tells me we're circling the compound and we're looking for her daughter. The woman looks like a young Sarah Jane Smith (an old Doctor Who Companion). Before I know it I'm in a minibus with the two of them (the woman and her daughter), all my friends from Stanley house and another friend who lives in the Falklands (Sam FPR)

After laughing and joking with them the dream ends and I wake up.

I am walking towards my workplace. It is a fast food restaurant, but I don't have my supplies. I am walking in a decent sized alleyway, big enough for a couple cars to fit in. It is behind the restaurant. I see a worker from somewhere else on the job maybe. I jack his cleaning spray bottle and his trash bag. I start walking into work. I remember I don't really work much. My grandma is there who plays in a band (IRL). She holds my guitar for me which I also play IRL. I play sometimes in the restaurant when I am taking a break. I remember her showing me around and we get to the front desk. There is a small tin can full of cannabis and there is keif (pure THC crystals) all over the the counter, literally covered. She tells me that it is keif and I get excited. I think I am supposed to clean it but we pass it up. Then somewhere near the end of my dream a couple guys who heard me play come up and talk to me. They want to offer me $2300 for a record deal. Another guy gets up from a table and offers me $2500. Another guy gets up wanting to offer me money. A shootout begins by one of them (who actually looks just like my friend Brandon who owns a lot of nice guns). I try to stop him but he runs backwards and shoots up my left hand side. One bullet hits me in the shoulder, another in the lower gut and one more in pelvic bone all on my left side. I wake up somewhere around there.

At some point I go back to sleep into this same restaurant dream scene. I am sitting at a table and I look down at this bag that has these shoes that I remember jacking from the first part of the dream that I can't remember now. I now realize that it is a dream and become lucid. I get up from the table and hear a couple of kids screaming about a car jacking going on out side. I look and see it happen and they drive off. I continue to walk around the restaurant to look around. I see employees walking around. I walk to the back and see a kids toy dispenser. It kind of reminds me of a real life fast food place. I walk over to the counter and check behind and see everybody working. I decide to go outside and check it out. I see a bunch of kids all beside the restaurant who are dressed up in costumes. It is night time and there is a lot of kids. I decide to go back into the restaurant when I wake up sometime around there. I wish I would've tried to do more.

I grab my little brother and run to my neighbors house very quickly. I run to the front door which is located on the wrong side of the house. She sees me panicking and lets me in. My other brother is already there sitting on the couch. I tell her to call 911. I wish I could remember what the fuck I was running from.

Jan 10, 2013

Dream:

It's in the middle of the night, I'm standing in the kitchin and it's dark outside while the light is on inside so I can pretty much just see the reflection of myself when I look out the window. I think I'm on my way to the bathroom or going to grab some food from the fridge (I've walked this exact route so many times I can actually walk it with closed eyes, tried and tested).
As I'm walking I get this feeling, like someone is watching me, so I look out the windows and I see a dark silhuet standing just outside, but I can't see it properly so I switch off the lights and look out the window again. As I look into two tiny black demon like eyes my heart starts beating faster and I'm having a hard time breathing. I'm struck by a loud high pitched noice. It's so loud that I'm deafened by it and I'm literally paralyzed for what feels like an eternity but in reality was more like seconds. My eyes are locked with the eyes of this creature. It feels like I'm getting drawn into the bottomless void that is it's eyes and I'm filled with stress and anxiety. It's as if I'm about to burst.
But then with a snap of the fingers I'm freed from it's grasp as it turns away from me and start walking. My angst is instantly relieved to some extent and I can move again though with great effort as my body is still weary and I have to lean against the kitchen table to remain on my feet.
The entety has seems to have grown smaller only about a few feet high and it seems confused or panicy like it is just as afraid of me as I am of it. It doesn't move in a straight line and it moves weird. It seems as if it can't bend his legs and it's arms are stiff down the sides. The way it moves actually resemble the way a penguin would move. A vicious demon penguin of evil anyway.
It's dressed like Chapin so i guess 'it' must be a 'he' and his head is completely unproportionate. It's huge compared to the body. The head alone makes it for atleast one third of his height. His face looks as if it where painted on, he looks very old with long wrinkles like the rings on a tree stub. He has a blank expression on his face and pale skin.
I'm still having trouble breathing properly, the pitched noice is still there and my hearth is still pulsing through the roof.
I'm trying to yell out to this demonic midget or whatever it is, but I can't. I'm yelling so hard that my chest is getting sore but no sound escapes my mouth. My efforts are brought to a halt as the noice increases in volume, louder than ever. My hearth is pounding away faster and faster for every second and I seem to lack the ability to breath. My legs are tremblind beneath me and i seem to be on the verge of a collapse as the creature turns around slowly. I stare helplessly at it as I'm paralyzed once more. At the moment where our eyes are locked the noice, my breathing, my hearth, everything just explodes everything becomes a dark blur as I in my bed.


Notes:

As I woke up I was breathing really fast and my pulse was definelty faster than usual. Though I realized pretty much instantly that it had just been a dream so i closed my eyes quickly and relazed all my muscles to try and recollect the dream. I seemed to remember some fragments of an earlier dream that night aswell. Namely it seemed like Charles 'the Demon Midget' Chaplin had been haunting me in an earlier dream aswell. All I could see though was a flashing image of 'Chaplin' on a brighter background. Could have been my imagination i guess.

I haven't had a nightmare since i was a kid, and much less have I actually woke up from one. (as far as i can remember)
I used to have nightmares somewhat often and i was scared of the dark and everything. I can't honeslty say that I don't feel weird about darkness anymore though I'm easely supressing any weird feelings with logic. I have often experienced my fantasy making me imagine there would be someone watching me at exactly the spot Chaplin 'the Demon Midget' was standing at (just about a yard from the kitchen window). But again I've had no problems brushing it off as mere fantasy.

I have never had very good dream recall as far as I can remember, but then again i don't remember much from when i was a kid. I never remember more than maybe 1 dream each month.

That is why I was and am focusing on gaining a good dream recall before trying seriously for lucidity.

This dream occured after about 2 hours of sleep on the very first night that i attempted to do anything about my dreams.
I had been researching a lot on lucid dreaming and I was very intent to at the very least recall a dream that night. I also tried to perform a WILD, knowing I would probably fail. And sure i did fail but I had some very interesting hypnogogia before i fell asleep. Furthermore i had set my phones alarm to 4:30 am to attempt the WBTB tecknique.

I suppose it the sum of all this preperation and my state of mind that caused me to have this extremely vivid dream.
By far the most vivid dream I remember. The fact that I hardly ever recall my dreams (even when I do recall dreams they are more like fragments and certainly not very vivid) and the fact that it caused me to wake up (a thing no dream has done to me for several years) all made me truly believe that lucidity is very much possible for me.

This made me sign up here on dreamviews, cause now I'm officially working towards my first lucid dream!

ps. I've uploaded a web cam photo of the drawning I made of Chaplin. ( keep in mind it was drawn at about 1:30 am )

pps. Sorry if there are any spelling or grammar errors. The text is too long for me to look through at the moment. Maybe I'll revisit it later to correct errors.
