• NON-DREAM • NOTES • DREAM • LUCID •

I am walking down a fairly dark stairwell which leads to a below-grade doorway. The stairwell is made of crumbling concrete and the steps have diamond plated steel on top of them. There is a small light on the wall above, but it is barely enough light to see where I am going.

I take a couple of steps downward and find that there are snakes all over the place. There are snakes on the steps and more snakes are crawling out of holes on the concrete beside the steps. The snakes are a variety of sizes and colors. I take a couple more steps down then a small snake jumps off the wall and bites my on the end of my left index finger. I turn around and walk back up the steps with the snake hanging off my finger. A couple of snakes follow me as I walk.

Just as I'm reaching to pry the snake off my finger, it lets go and slithers away. As I turn toward the steps, I feel something hanging off my back. There is a large snake trying to crawl up my shirt. It is hanging out from the back of my shirt like a tail. I reach around and pull on the snake, but it won't let go. I lean back and whip my shirt off as fast as I can. The snake stays with the shirt and is now laying on the ground in front of me. The snake is bright orange and looks to be about 4 feet (1.22 meters) long.

unseasonable weather, hot in november. odd clothes, beige cords! old girlfriends. fights. paranoia. people on my roof. mixed friend groups at parties.

NOTES Drank apple + carrot juice

3:00 pm

MILD, watched Dante's Cove, read Tibetan Yoga. I daydreamed about taking a bus back in Negros, thinking that being in Manila is just a (day)dream I was having while in the one-hour bus ride. It was kinda depressing, and I thought of how I am actually sitting in the bus, and me lying on the bed here in Manila is the dream. Then I tried pushing my finger through my palm; it went through. I tried again, same result. I was happy. I looked at the people around the bus. They have strange faces. Masks. White alien masks. I went down the bus and ran and ran, without stopping. I just kept on imagining running around, encountered a 3-foot tool, red, worm-like creature with a hole for a mouth. I jumped into the mouth, and the running kept going. Fell asleep.

4:55 pm - wake up

DREAM:

I was in an island with other people. We were scattered across different islands. I asked a girl how were her parents. The answer was vague, but she actually meant they just saw each other in a different island.

We were guarding a castle near the sea. There are invaders. We are doing our best to keep them off. My allies in the castle were able to create a huge machine-monster to fight the enemy's monster-giant. I climbed down to give them ideas. The archers on the walls are good, but they're vulnerable from flyers and other arrows. I suggested (hingal) to cover them from above, attach magnets near them to minimize arrow damage, and build spikes to discourage flyers from coming closer. They nodded, but I felt they're not gonna implement it.

I looked around, and at the 'back,' there are huge gates and walls. There's a local family passing by. Peru or Peruvian came to mind. Their child was able to fit through the bars and climbed inside. The few guards in the area caught her and brought her out. The panicked family outside began to leave in a hurry after they have their daughter, talking in a panicked language (unfamiliar language; probably Peruvian as well?). The guards signed to them to please don't talk about this area. It's a very vulnerable spot. I thought they shouldn't have let them get away alive at all. I got annoyed at the other officers for being careless. The area is largely blocked off by a huge forest, but there's no telling when the enemy will discover this vulnerable spot. I plan for the immediate strengthening of the location.

6:35 am

We were cooking noodles or barbecue. I think the woman doctor is the one teaching us to cook. She's kinda Latino or at least South Asian. Probably South American?

We were waiting for the dino eggs to hatch. We were riding a truck.

People were drinking outside the street, near a bar. JM is back from the states. He has long, curly hair. There are other friends around. There were Bailey's and vodka, but I avoided alcohol.

Awake-Non-lucid-Lucid
War between two nations. I was a soldier with a rocket launcher. When I was fighting, a bunch of jaguars attacked me. I tried to defend myself, but they got me in the end... Some time later, I was in the base, talking to a more important person. I was still feeling the cougar bites.

Dream 1
Some guy was robbing a house and asked me to join him. I saw some chick being a look out in the front. We were about to go in when a group of people who were part of a parade or something saw us. I took off running. I was about to make it inside my house but I couldn't find the key I needed. The people were about to reach us and I decided to return back to bed. --End Dream

Dream 2
I dreamed I was going to prison. I really did not want to deal with the bureaucracy. There was an "Intro to Prison" session going on. I was upset that I did not even try to get a better lawyer even though I wasn't sure what I did.

------------------
Earlier this week I had a dream that police found drugs in my room.(I don't even have drugs there). My dad was telling me that I should not had them.

--This is a lot of police/criminal related dreams for such a short period of time.

This is my dream after my LD.

WARNING: Mature content.

I was walking with some friends at night. I think it was ST and RP. There were a few people drinking by a table outside. We grabbed some chairs and sat down. I declined a drink. I am with RP inside a feng shui store. He was talking about how people go to the jewelry store to sell their jewelries. Why not to individuals? He said for a rare/good 25-cent coin, you can get as much as 3 pesos. I jokingly told him I have lots of 25 cents at home.

I am out in the field. It's daytime. I am waiting for a sports game of some sort with some friends. Some jock challenged our team. Everybody arranged the net near the goal. It looks like a mix of rugby-football and soccer-football. I think we won, although I don't think I even played. For some reason, I ended up jumping (or catapulting) to the other side and penetrating the jock who was stupid enough to challenge us. He was on top of me. I worried about unsafe sex. The guy was arrogant earlier. Now he's submissive.

I got into some sort of army. We had fake swords and assigned washing machines. This one guy was mad because he got ranked with us noobs and said, 'Are you douchin me?!'

I'm a little upset. I remembered this dream so well when I woke up, but I haven't had a chance to write about it, and large portions of it have slipped away. I'll tell you what I can remember.

The man from my "AI Theft" dream was back again, with another invention. This time, It was a shrink ray. He explained to me that it was only a prototype and not ready to be used on people. The shrink ray was a small, chrome pistol with a purple coil on the front of it.
He said that it could be used on foods though. We were in a large, concrete testing room. There were various vegetables and fruits on tables around the room. I specifically remember carrots, potatoes, and cabbages.
He began blasting them, and sure enough, they would become surrounded by this blue electrical field, and slowly grow (not shrink) to about twice their size.

The dream skipped into me and Manei (Dream Guide) going out to dinner at this restaurant. It was a really nice place, but very dark.
As usual, we talked for a very long time about deep, important things in our lives. But I cannot remember the details of our discussion.

We were back in the concrete testing room. The man who we had talked to before was upset because the shrink ray only had a temporary effect. He told me that all of the vegetables that he had shrunk had returned to their regular size.
I looked at a cabbage on one of the tables. It started shaking, then got surrounded by the blue electrical field, and shrank back to its normal size.

Privacy

I'm walking to a party in my dorm. There are these two girls following me; first-years, I think. They seem kind of giggly, possibly drunk. I'm not sure what they're up to, and I don't think I want to find out. I speed up my steps to get to the party before they can catch up to me.

I stay at the party for a while, then leave. I'm only a few steps down the hallway when one of the girls follows me out. Just one, this time. I'm not able to find a group of people in which to hide, so she catches up to me. She proposes that we have sex. [I don't remember the exact wording, but that's the gist of it: she's in the mood to have fun, somehow I caught her eye, and she thinks we should do it.] Immediately, I feel that I should escape. She doesn't really seem in control of herself, she's probably at least two years younger than me, and I really don't want my first time to be under these circumstances. I go into a different room, but she follows me, still talking.

"How drunk /are/ you?" I ask. In response, she proposes a race: first person to touch the ceiling of the room wins, then we can have sex afterwards. While I'm contemplating whether to do the race just to humor her, she starts climbing. The room is a big warehouse, with shelves and piles of foam cubes of various sizes. It would be a difficult thing to climb, but it might be fun. After hesitating another fraction of a second, I start up after her. She has a huge head start. I'll have to go fast to catch up, but she's drunk enough that I might still win. Quickly, I clamber over piles of cubes and stumble around on top. She's up ahead of me. She hasn't reached the highest point yet, but for some reason she's stopped, and she's trying to jump to touch the ceiling instead of climbing higher. I run past her and touch the ceiling an instant before one of her jumps finally succeeds. I'm dumbfounded for a second about how well that played out. It was almost cinematic.

"Wow, that was close," I say.

By now, I've decided that I should stop being so phobic about sex. I should just accept her offer so I can stop making such a big deal out of it in the future. So now I have to find a comfortable, private place for us. The first place we try is an outdoor swimming pool. I wade around for a bit while she runs off to do something or other. I'm not wearing a shirt anymore. When she comes back, she walks right up to me with a grin and starts feeling my torso. This girl is nothing if not forward. I'm reluctant to let her find out that I've gone hard, but it might be interesting to see how she'd react. Probably she'd start groping me. But somehow this pool is unsatisfactory (for one thing, there's a poolside restaurant with big windows that look right out at us), so we leave.

We go into a nearby museum. It's basically empty. There are a few security staff members around, locking things up for the night. We avoid them and go to a higher floor. But then a man sees me and says, "Sir, we're closing for the night." I have no choice but to turn around and leave, but in the spirit of exploration I decide to leave a different way than the way I came in: the fire escape. Hopefully the guard will understand. As I'm leaving, he remarks incredulously, "Wow, you're comfortable from the waist up!" By which he means that I'm again not wearing a shirt. I'd forgotten. Somehow I laugh it off and walk down the iron staircase to the sidewalk.

As I'm walking down the night-darkened streets, suddenly there is a violent male scream and my head starts vibrating as though caught in the jaws of an angry dog. After a second of this, I wake up with my heart racing.

[Similar things happened on 8/22 and 9/14 of this year. I'm not sure what to think about them, yet. Maybe I have some kind of condition?]

Frags:

• something about relatives [I know I woke up earlier last night right after a dream, but I decided not to write it down or try to remember it. I guess I was tired.]

The basebal stadium was crowded. Somehow i got into the stadium for free. My mom was there. I was with 2 friends. Both of them took off in seperate directions, one went towards the field and one went underground. i didnt want to be alone but i didnt want to cross the guard who blocked the under ground entrance. I was scared to get caught

Some guy even called me a pussy but i dont remember him charging. I also remeber seeing a like minor league giantns team playingn on a really tiny field and being like WTF are they doing cuz the bals would litterally go to like 6 fy. still the game was crowded.

go giants

At the beach, in the water. There was a lot of stuff in the water, like umbrellas and surfboards. I found my dog and picked him up. Afterwards, I found my brother and mom (must've let my dog go). They were trying to figure out what a button on an umbrella meant. It had a picture of a sun on it. I told them it made the bells on the end stay up, and they tried it. It did. A guitar floated by. I picked it up and played a few chords. Despite it being underwater, it sounded as clear as it should. I was better than I should've been, I wasn't even pressing down the right strings and it still sounded good.*

Background: I am an American studying in Israel, and an ex-Israeli army infantry soldier. I never saw combat, but I did serve my country when I was required to. I was not called into the reserve draft to possibly invade Gaza in the past few weeks during the recent flare up, but I did experience hearing a missile, hearing the air-raid siren, as well as hearing a boom, all over the place where I live/dream... which was like a living nightmare.

PLEASE NOTE: these dreams I had last night were my absolute first time in Lucid dreaming. Began reading about it in the past few days and decided I want to create my old Lucid world... like in the movie Tron, where he creates his own world from a computer program. I'm focusing on remembering my dreams first, ate lots of Vitamin B6, was doing finger counting, nose plug, and many other reality checks all day, and I kept telling myself to remember my dreams while falling asleep.

Dream 1:
Sets down a long road with middle eastern apartments on the left and right side. What I see in the middle are many many Israeli soldiers prepping equipment, as far as the eye can see, with either duffle bags or combat vests. Far off on the right distance an open field with slight vegetation, and more housing in a fog. I assumed this was Gaza, and this was invasion preparation. I see some women prepping their gear also, as there is a special unit just for female combat infantry that in reality has trained along side my infantry unit, and I go to text my friends "wow, they're even sending in the women!". Eventually I start viewing the apartments on each side that are now de-facto military headquarters for the operation, and two US Marine officers are standing outside one, and one Israeli soldier goes "Let's give a big hand for our American military support!" and all the Israeli soldiers start clapping and cheering, then the Marines give a smile and a wave. I go back to prepping my gear but it is only my dress uniform, I have no combat gear, no weapon, nothing, just a dress-gear duffle bag, and I put it all back in a car I drove... which was a 1996 black Volvo Sedan (which I actually drove and totaled in high school)

Dream 2:
I do not remember the switch of scenery of how I got here. We are all sitting in that open desert field with vegetation, right before what it looks like to be Gaza. We are sitting in lawn chairs watching Arab and English speaking children (below age 10), play with a soccer ball, basically hanging out and smoking also. I somehow find a small yellow Nerf ball and start whipping it at my friends for fun, it zips fast to them, but does not hurt them.

Dream 3: I go to the other side, away from the field, through the buildings, past the road with the soldiers prepping, and basically on the farthest side of the apartments, with my car. I park it and go inside one of the apartments, which now looks like the inside of a cabin in the woods of my old summer camp. A soldier comes whose face I recognize. He was a high ranking officer during my service that I was always intimidated by because he was basically the Colonel of our base. He once screamed at me for not knowing Hebrew enough (the national language of Israel). Now he comes into this dream, speaking Hebrew, walks into this Cabin with no shirt on... but his body is painted in camouflage paint. As he puts his hand on my shoulder, another soldier walks in who looks no older than 15, and very timid, speaking Hebrew with a huge American accent... and the officer says "DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS?" the timid solder replies "no", and he smiles and goes "this is one of my Americans", but he says it in perfect English, as if he was American, and then says "I'm a Philadelphia native!" So I get up to embrace him, as I always had thought he was just Israeli, but in this dream he's explaining to me that he was also an American in the Israeli army. In reality he is just Israeli of course.

Dream 4: We are high on a cliff now and I am watching rockets from Gaza come to Israel. I start to scurry back to my base when I see an Arab teen doing the same thing as me. For some reason I am not wearing a shirt. I eventually hitch a ride back to the base, but there is no driver in the van I'm in. The van stops, and a rocket, which was spinning and out of control wizzes past the van. It lands way ahead of us, putting us out of danger, and explodes. We return to the base and I see the same high ranking officer I did before, who said he was from Phili. He is now wearing a drenched white t-shirt and army fatigue pants. I ask him "was it fun" and he replies back straight-faced "no, it was not fun at all" (looks like he removed his combat vest from his sweaty t-shirt and just returned from a mission in Gaza).

Dream 5: All the middle street and the Apartments on each side are empty, no soldiers or equipment. I look to the Gazan border and I see two columns of soldiers lined up, pointing towards Gaza, as if the soldiers were about to march straight through the border. I now realize I have a combat vest on, with some equipment, but no weapon, and my vest is a light-command vest used for commanders in training, a few pouches here and there, but the rest of the soldiers have massive packs, are strapped with many weapons, and all have radio antennas sticking out from there packs, with head-microphones. I spend another few moments texting everyone I know to turn on the news, because all my friends and family are still in the US, but I don't tell them why to turn on the news. I then realize that most likely US news coverage won't pick this up immediately and that by the time everyone I know in the US sees a small clipping of news about this, everyone I know in Israel will have just invaded Gaza.

::End of Dreams::

War is not why I wanted to learn lucid dreaming. I appreciate some adrenaline, defending my country and Call of Duty once in a while but... Like I said, I wanted to build my own universe, like in Tron. I guess this is the first step? Remembering and recording? 1) I had no control over anything in these dreams. 2) Dreams felt like watching a movie and every 10 seconds pressing fast forward for another 10 seconds. Go figure my first dreams are about the Israeli army... when I just spent 2 years in it and now I'm studying Counter-Terrorism at a university

I found myself in a large house, within there was a party going on. the party was organised by a friend, she had two more sisters, they where also there. we made a mess aut of the house, and i cleaned it up, because, i thought it is just too wild. her mother was also there, and i felt ambivalent towards her, i did not know if she is just a ritch bitch or if she is a nice understandig women.

then there where a lot of friezers in the bedroom of my friend. i told them, that they better watch out, if there is a war comming, people will come to get that stuff

then i was with rut in bed, we sturted making love,softlyand relaxed, a friend of mine was watching us, and i thought he will eventually go away, so i did not say anything. and he went after a while.

A big room, like a theather, or a music hool, i should play in an band, and we wanted to play something funky, but then on of the members played something out of a cd or so, and we did not mine until people came in, which could recognise if we are playing real or not

This is from November 21st, I just didn't get around to typing it all up before.

Early in the night I originally fell asleep on the couch in the living room in front of my laptop, then I woke up a couple to a few hours later and shut down everything in the house and moved to bed. So that technically makes these with a WBTB.

#1 - Creeper Nightmare [Non-Lucid]

Throughout this dream, for some reason all of the windows in my house had open blinds and were larger than normal, making it very easy to see into the house from the outside at any point. It was really creeping me out because in the house next to mine which was visible through the windows there were these four guys that kept peering around corners or over fences to just stare at me in a really freaky way, and then they would start laughing when I got anxious. Even when I tried to go out front or out back I would see them watching me from somewhere. At one point I was even crawling around on the floor in the house and reaching strategically over and around objects to avoid being seen by them, knowing that they were just out of eyesight staring into the window. Eventually I just got pissed, and I went out front, walked over to their fence, and jumped up on it in one swift movement. This is not uncommon for me; my dream self seems to think that walking on fences is fairly normal, though still something to be considered significant. I ran along the top until the second floor balcony of the next door house (which doesn't actually exist, it's a one-story house) and leapt over to it. I went in through the door and walked up to one of the guys who said "Oh shit!" and looked shocked. I was ready to smack a ho, but then my memory of the dream gets really blurry and I just remember there being something about my old friend T, I saw him for a second... but then, I woke up. Ah, well.

#2 - Modeling Assignment [Non-Lucid]

I was at some big school function where they paired us up with different students and had us take tests and do modeling jobs and stuff. There was some girl there that I was just trying to be nice to for some reason, and I remember lending her a pencil, but then she still got totally pissed at me for something. However, AB, this girl I used to know since elementary school but barely ever talked to since then, got up and started defending my honor with some long speech. Oh, also, I think for most of this dream, or at least this part onward, I was JY, this guy I also knew since elementary school. No idea why, I haven't thought about him in ages.... Anyway, like I said, we were paired off and we were supposed to be doing a modeling gig. For ours they were expecting us to submit some comic we'd made, but my partner was the one who had it on him and he didn't show up. I tried doing the gig myself and they told me my image was nice but it needed more, it had to be both of us or neither. I decided to go walking around the mall/school looking for my partner and somehow ended up back at my house. (My real house, not JY's house.) I was in my parents' bedroom and I decided to just jump back on the bed and give the guy a phone call. I told him the situation and he said that he had to ditch to go to a dentist appointment. I just said that that was fine because the school was just pushing us into it anyway so I didn't really care that much.

#3 - Nothing Wrong With A Little Bondage [Non-Lucid]

I was at some kind of station waiting for transportation with my parents, and there were these two random girls standing not far from us. I turned to my parents and asked them if the train that just left was the one that we were supposed to be taking, and the girls startled giggling and said that it was actually a bus. I just responded that we call it a train where I come from. It was clearly based on a train from around here, so I wasn't wrong lol. Eventually a couple more arrive and we got on a different one from them and I get a third-person view (from outside and behind the train, though it may have become a bus considering what we did next) of the train swerving through traffic and over all these crazy highways that bend at impossible angles. It basically looked like a huge video game obstacle course set up all around some big city full of skyscrapers. The dream then transitions to when I'm already off the train and I'm at a mall restaurant of some kind meeting up with M, some random DC, O, ET (heh, not the extra terrestrial), S (5 hits, for self-reference), and maybe C and a few others. We were going to do something though I can't remember exactly what now, and this random guy walked up to me and kissed my hand. I just patted him on the back and said "Sorry, I'm taken." and moved on, and I saw a friend comforting him as he walked away. Then, ET just up and decides to grab me by the arms from behind, pick me up, and hold me locked in some bondage position to parade me around the mall for everyone to see. At this point many of the people in the crowd were suddenly in fetishy outfits, and everyone was just staring at me amused as we went by. And yes, it was awesome. >.> I could hear the whole gang talking about movies or something behind me, but I never got back into the conversation before the dream ended. I had a brief false awakening where I typed up most of the previous dream on my phone, almost letting it fade from memory. Luckily, I still remembered it well upon waking for real.

#4 - And Now The Creepers Can Fly ;-; [MILD]

In this dream I felt that I was visiting home for the holidays, though I'm not entirely sure where exactly I would've been visiting from. I was wandering around outside on the side of my house by the next door neighbors' fence and I saw some random girl followed by SC, this girl I knew in middle school, breaking into their yard through the fence. The girl was saying that it's just something she likes to do to mess with people so they have to take the time to clean their yards up. Now this next part I really have no memory of at all, though I really wish I did. Instead, I'll just have to quote it. "Then some old guy comes running by and uses me as an external pacemaker for a second." I go back inside my house through the garage and see the girls sitting out back and think that something must be up because they should still have been in the neighbors' yard. I approach our back door and think to myself "Alright, if I can fly right through it then this is a dream." I leapt off the ground and went right through the door and wall and flew into the sky. I was excited, but immediately after the happiness set in and I turned around slightly and saw some creepy guy flying right behind me. I had an adrenaline rush and the scene transitioned into my bedroom, and I was convinced that I'd ruined my shot. I almost lost this dream to a false awakening as well, but thankfully I woke up shortly afterward.
