non-lucid

Stealth

I'm walking around an indoor courtyard. Children live in rooms nearby. Some of these children are part of a prophecy which is soon to come true, though they don't know it yet. There are some dead children in the courtyard, including one that has apparently been hanged. Clearly evil forces are at work here, so I'm going to have to do my part stealthily. I sneak out of a side door, trying to avoid being seen by the children.

In another room, there are some open-topped vertical pipes sticking out of the floor, about four inches in diameter. They are all full of water, though not all to the same height. I'm trying to scoop water out of the pipes with a higher water level and put it into the pipes with less water. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But it's important that I keep trying, because it will have some kind of important effect on the building around me.

I was away for a few weeks... re-exams 'n stuff... so I couldn't spend much time into dream business. However, I remember a few dreams from the past two weeks quite clearly (albeit briefly). So I'll jot those down now in this combo-post.

Slender Man's African cousin?
Clearness: Fairly clear.
Vividness: Intense!
Realism: Set in the real world, but still unrealistic.
Mood: Creepy... anxious... still, strangely fun.
Lucid: No.

This dream was about me and my sister "designing a video game" (although that didn't happen like in the real world). In order to do this, we played the game set in the house and in the garden (not virtually, but actually).

The rules were to run from a certain starting point and hide. After a few minutes, a strange creature would appear which would come and find us. The last one to get caught is the winner.
I didn't really know what the creature looked like, but I did know he behaved in a similar manner to the Slender Man. Same rule as in the game Slender counted; the more you look at him, the more of a threat he becomes.

So then we pretty much just ran through the garden, keeping vigilant of the surroundings, every once in a while seeing him vaguely pop up from somewhere in the scenery. He looked like a rather dark, shadowy figure. At a moment when he was nowhere to be seen, we decided to get to the basement and hide in there, as we thought he wouldn't go and look for us there. Unfortunately though, after some time obviously he did.
I panicked a little, and quickly "hid" in a quite poor place, but with my face against the wall, so there is no way he could pop up into my sight. I heard his footsteps. He was gradually coming closer and closer, as if his senses could tell him "warmer" and "colder" in his thoughts. Then... he stood RIGHT behind me. I heard his 2 feet land right behind mine and I felt his breath in my neck. I was shivering with fear. Then I felt a hand touching my back, he rudely turned me around, and then I saw his face from really close, which made me shit brix.

His face could best be described as an African male face with features from Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot, and his facial expression can best be described with this image of Aku from Samurai Jack. It was so cartoonish, yet terrifying.

In the next "scene", our video game was magically created, and we were designing a cover for the game, in some sort of... finger painting like way. My sister drew the image, and I decorated the background with scary lines like "Don't look behind you..." and "He's always watching...".

This dream was blatantly and obviously based on the pc game Slender. Interestingly though, by that time I had never actually played the game yet, I only saw some brief gameplay footage from PewDiePie, so it was more or less based on my expectations of the game. It did make me curious to try the game myself in waking life the night after this though.

Ancient lucid dream inducing room
Clearness: The interesting part was clear, but I remember pretty much only that.
Vividness: Kinda...
Realism: Mostly unrealistic, but unfortunately it was realistic where it shouldn't have been.
Mood: Good.
Lucid: Almost!

So basically in this dream I went on a vacation with my family to... Rome I guess, according to the visual style of the surroundings. Visiting the ruins of ancient Rome, and some museums, toured by a guide.
I cannot quite remember the biggest part of the dream, but I do quite clearly remember the most important one.
At some point in a museum, the guide told us about "ancient lucid dream inducing rooms", which were dark rooms with beds, where supposedly some sort of slight electrical activity manipulated your brain into easy WILDs. All you had to do, is believe that it works.
I was very interested in trying this, as I had been reading about lucid dreaming somewhere before (guess where!), so me and my family decided to try out these rooms and spend the night in them.

I got into the bed, closed my eyes, tried to clear my mind, and after a few minutes, I thought I would open my eyes and try doing a reality check. Now, get this... I actually did a finger-thru-palm reality check, but it didn't work. I think this is probably because I assumed that I had been awake all the time, completely not realizing that I already WAS in a dream all along. So therefore, my reality check had the same result as it would've had in waking life. Augh... so close...!
So then... the next morning I left the room. As a skeptic. Heh.

Ever since I had this dream, I realized I should probably try and take my reality checks more seriously, even though I really already was trying. It's so hard to genuinely doubt reality if you know you're obviously not dreaming. I'll keep up the practice, I guess.

Underwater base action
Clearness: I remember it very poorly.
Vividness: It sure was exciting though for all I can remember.
Realism: Very unrealistic.
Mood: Not particularly good, not particularly bad.
Lucid: No.

This is just yesterday's dream. Nothing important, except it featured my most recurring dream sign, trains.

I can't really tell much about it. All I know is that I looked like Johnny Depp (hey that is pretty awesome!) and it also featured Yuffie Kisaragi from FFvii as the second main character.
It was basically set in a complex underwater base, consisting of hubs that were connected through, guess what, trains. It was probably kinda Rapture-like. The story was roughly about we 2 fighting for freedom... whatever that really meant! I fought with a tommy gun and Yuffie with her shuriken.
At some point something epic happened which involved Yuffie being captured, but she frees herself in some epic way... dunno... aaaaand... well that's it, actually. Nothing new or memorable.

2 nonlucids this morning:

In the first one, I was Lucy to Frank Langella's Count Dracula. It was going pretty much like in the movie, but when the Count successfully stole me from Jonathan Harker, he didn't seem to want me anymore. Like I had been too "easy." lol

In the second one, I was fighting off wolves one at a time in a snowy forest. There was an odd gate in the middle of the woods that somehow allowed only one wolf at a time to attack me. Each time, one would jump on me, and start biting my arm. And each time, I would pry open it's mouth, then force its mouth open so wide until it broke the jaw. When the alpha finally came at me, I did the same thing to him, but I felt bad for him for some reason. So after I broke his face, I choked him to death so that he wouldn't die slowly like the others.
I guess I'm just gearing up for Halloween

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

A friend of mine invents a machine capable of extracting our "daemons" in the form of little tiny cute monsters. Each person has a different number of daemons with different forms and shapes. He also invents a kind of aquarium on a metallic pedestal with a controlled environment to keep the daemons, like fish on a fishtank. They can be taken out for playing, like pets, but people are warned that this is a dangerous game.
I pick some of my daemons in my hand and I choose one to play with. They make things happen, like materializing our fears, playing mind tricks, etc. This one makes insects and worms appear all over the ceiling and the walls. I recognize this as an old fobia but I am aware that it no longer affects me like before, so I feel tempted to play with all my daemons and face all of the unknown dark corners of my mind,

I remembered a dream when I first woke up, but I forgot it now.
I woke up, tried a DEILD and got a lucid dream. Unfortunately it was a short and forgettable one.
I then tried another WILD, and went into sleep paralysis, kept my eyes closed, but felt myself in my old bed from my old house. I broke out of SP into my own normal bed, and went back into a dream
Casino, with powers
Me, my parents, and my brother were at a casino, with our two dogs, and a lot of luggage. I never actually saw my family in the dream, I just know they were present. I remember chasing around a friend from a minecraft server I play on, and then I put on a ring that made me invisible. At this point I walked around and noticed the girls bathroom, I went inside, still invisible. I went into a corner and poked a girl on the shoulder to get her attention. I expected sexy time, but instead she got scared, shouting "who's there!" and backed into the same corner I was in. She squeezed up against me but then quickly stepped back because she felt something that wasn't visible. I try using the ring to phase through the wall, but it didn't work. I pointed it at the sky to fly away, but nothing happened. I willed the ring to take me out of there, but failed again. I walked around the poor woman, left the bathroom in shame and entered the mens restroom because I had to pee. I am standing there going for like 2 minutes, then someone else comes in. I turn to see who it is, but then my stream starts going everywhere! I ask for help, but receive none. Instead of cleaning the mess up I just went to the urinal and finished.

I woke up, noted my stupidity, then went back to sleep and into the next dream.

Same casino, helping a girl
So this girl I know from our church comes up to me and asks me to help her with her car. Not knowing what to do, I spend like 2-3 hours going to the garage and parking cars randomly. I finally get bored and go back into the casino, ask her where her car is, she replies either floor 36, or floor 42, this casino was not that tall... Anyway, we grab our stuff (from the last dream, it is a lot) but leave the dogs there. I get in the passenger seat, the girl gets in the driver seat, and my brother gets in the back. Turns out she wanted me to hold the passenger door closed while she drives home, since it won't stay shut. She offers to pay me $1000 so I say yes, so she takes off. The door proves to be really hard to keep closed, and we come up to this intersection called "Kyante st." and she tells me she was going to have Kyante help her, but he was busy. She drives up to the front of her house, which is like literally 2-3 blocks away from the casino. She thanks me for helping her, curtseys, then goes inside. She didn't pay the $1000, and we were left here, with all of our stuff, having to walk back to the casino...
I look at the house, and it is a HUGE house, on a culdesac with a few other really big homes. So she is rich, in a rich part of town, but can't afford to fix her car, or pay us the $1000...
Inside the house I see another church friend, who happens to have a nice, large house irl.
So now me and my brother start gathering what we had, I look for my jacket that had things in it, I fear I left it in the casino, I find it(Also spotting a radio with earbuds on the dash that I gave to my dad irl, but to this girl in my dream), stuff some things inside, me and my brother both have our hands full with stuff, as the we walk back to the casino, and the dream ends.

I dreamt that I was visiting a aquarium museum in Australia (never been there) with my mom. I saw a lot of beutiful fishes, I seemed so real, the colors... The most beutiful thing I dreamed in a while. Then we took the stairs to the second store. A woman is guarding the hall entrance. There where other people waiting as well. My mom asked to see the rest of the fishes, but the woman said that it was closed. They ended up arguing and a guy started to scream at my mom and I. I was with a backpack, I dropped it to the floor and fought him. I was trying to control my arms and legs to hit him, but it was very difficult, like the gravity was doubled. I threw him on the floor and we started ground fight ( I did jiu-jitsu for 2 years) then a guy showed up, separated us and said that the other guy had won. I argued that he didn't won and was very angry at the guy. The dream jumped and a gay dude (???) was jumping over me with a dagger. I took it from him and we fought again.

The dream starts out with me and my family sitting on our front porch watching a house down the street burn down. Since that house actually did burn a couple years ago and was rebuilt, my reaction was "Cool, I get to watch it burn again." xD

The flames eventually caught the next house over on fire. We watched the people living there run around trying to grab anything important before it burned. As I was watching this, I noticed an orange light coming from behind me -- my house was on fire now.

We only had enough time to grab one item we wanted to save before we had to get out. Everyone grabbed an item and a cat (we have too many cats ) and ran out the door. Turning around, all I can say is, "Damn arsonists."

Really boring dream.

I was in a shop where i used to go when i was a kid. However this shop had changed a lot lately. It was very big and had a lot of stuff, however people couldn't go to pick their stuff, they had to order to the employees. I went there because i needed yellow thread. One of the employees told me that they ran out of that thread, but that i could borrow his personal thread... so i took it. Then i thought "wow this place is really big. I wonder what stuff it has in there. In a dream i will find out" (very stupid of me since i was already in a dream).

Later in the same dream, i was with my family in our house, and we invited a teacher to have dinner. Of course it was really awkward for me but the time went through. Then my granparents came in. They arrived from a trip and they said that they had a present. He went to the car and took a really big basketball, which he bought for $200. When we were on the street a kid offered him another basketball but smaller for the same ammount of money. However i noticed that when we were outside my house, it was actually the street of my grandparent...

Dream - Lucid

I was in marching band again. We were having some sort of sleepover. It was nighttime, and we were in a house. Next to me was this girl that looked like someone who was in band with me in waking life, Nancy. She was a freshman and I was an upperclassman. For whatever reason, I had taken her under my wing, so to speak.

She asked me to pull a wedgie for her? I said ok, and she leaned forward, exposing the top of her panties. I noticed she was wearing two pairs of underwear, one peachy/skin-toned, and the other a bluish-green.
"This one?" I asked as I tugged the peachy one.
"Yes."
I pulled on it.

More happened in this dream, but I can't recall what right now.

~

I was in bed with JP. It was nighttime. We were in what looked like a hotel, but it was supposed to be at a school. We were both students. I'm not sure why we were in the same bed, there was another bed in the room but it was occupied I believe. I suppose it was like a dorm or something. The bed was next to a big window, with J being on the window side and I on the other. The window showed that we were on a higher floor, I think, and you could see trees and lights from buildings.

As we were laying in bed, he was saying something about my birthday being the next night, and how he was going to give me "birthday sex". I don't remember what I said. I wasn't really thrilled at the prospect, but this guy was scary (and is in waking life as well).

The next night, on my birthday apparently, I stayed in another part of the dorm/hotel. I was worried that JP would get upset because of this, but I didn't want to stay there with him. I then had this huge "flashback" of the college years ago, when a dead woman was found in an indoor pool, stabbed to death. They had to remove the body before they had a funeral service. I then made the terrible connection: JP was the killer from years ago. He was assuming a fake name at the college, the name James Holmes (the Batman movie killer from Colorado).

I knew I couldn't stay. I was in him and I's room, and the light was dim; nighttime again, but there was a lamp that was on on the nightstand. Someone called him and angered him. When he got off the phone, we were then in the living area, and a man appeared from a doorway, looking panicked and concerned. JP went and stabbed a man in the chest. I was sitting on the couch, watching in horror. He came to me then, and carefully chose a short, fat knife from the many knives that he had, all the while talking to me in a cool, calculated, heartless manner. I tried to back away, but he had me. He stabbed me in the lower left chest, but not too deeply, since I was resisting. I felt the pain as he cut me.

Then, it was like the scene was being replayed, only differently. We were in the room again, and his phone started to ring. I spotted a brown spider crawling on the floor with spindly, long legs. I got up to leave the room, and JP said
"You better not leave, this phone call may make me angry." I left anyway as he got on the phone.

I went to the living area and across the room to another door. I barged in and my parents were asleep in the bed there. My mom's head was facing the head of the bed, but my dad was sleeping opposite of her, with his head at the foot of the bed. I shook my dad first saying "Wake up! Wake up!" as I moved on to shake my mother. My mom woke up, and I frantically explained the situation. In the back of my mind, though, I knew we were doomed. She got out of bed, I'm not sure if she said anything. My dad was the only one of us there with the means to defend, and I could not wake him up. I kept trying, but to no avail. I then left the room and ran out the front door as fast as I could. I could run to the lights of the city, or the sparse, dim lights of some homes to my left. I went towards the homes, figuring he wouldn't be able to see me with the dim light. I tried to frantically think of what to do. Should I head to a house and try to knock until someone answered? Or should I run out to the woods? Either way, I felt doomed.

I awoke this morning being quite afraid still, the feelings carrying over from the dream to my waking self. I'm still calming down, and it's been over an hour since I woke up.

I’m in a house with my family. We’re looking out the window. The window has like, two different layers to it, and they both have writing all over them. Outside, it’s kind of dark but there are mountains and pine trees. I think it’s a really pretty view, and I want to take a picture of it.

I go to find my camera, which I apparently left in the next room in a backpack. I take out my camera case and open it, but I discover that I brought the wrong camera. Instead of bringing my good camera, I brought my crappy camera that I used to have in middle school.

But, there’s nothing I can do about it so I decide to go take pictures with it, anyway. Just like in real life, it takes like a whole minute for the camera to take a picture, and when it does, the picture turns out all blurry. Plus, I’m having trouble finding a good spot from which to take a picture, since all my siblings are crowding around me and it makes it hard to move or see.

Finally, they all leave and I’m alone in front of the window. I take a picture of the outside. And then I try to take some pictures of my face, but they all turn out looking really weird and Picasso-esque. And I’m like, “What the hell is wrong with this camera?”

Then I notice a table in front of me, with a card on it. Somehow, I know that my six-year-old sister made the card. On the inside, it has a picture of a lamb and it says “Bless this card” or something along those lines, along with some other religiousy things. And I’m like, “Huh, I didn’t know Annabelle was so religious.”

Stuffed Mouth (SDE Day 18) (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Spoiler for 18+:

I only remember something being inside of someone's mouse, and it looked like an Asian woman with long and light brown hair was the one putting something in her mouth. I saw two testicles, so I assumed she was deep-throating a penis. She managed to get all of the head, shaft, and testicles inside of her mouth, and she held it in for a few seconds, while the saliva starts to drip from the side to the bottom of her lip.

Ha, 18th day, and it's a 18+ type of dream.

I remember one more dream, but it's so short that I'm not even sure to put it down. I did sleep late, like 2 AM late, and I'm glad I remembered SOMETHING.

The dream began with normal stuff at work that I can't quite remember. Obviously it was not all that exciting. Later that night, my father took my brother an I to Sonic (the fast food restaurant) to get some chocolate malts. During this visit, he insists on blaring some music; Though I can't quite remember what the song was. It was not too long before i woke up and got ready for another day...

I was in a school, trying to find room 316 for a math class. I found it after a while and went in, there were 3 students sitting in a group with one seat empty for me. As I walk toward it, more people appear around. --- In another classroom, People sat in groups. At the end of each row is an empty seat, I didn't want to take the seats cause it would be awkward. I finally took one after seeing no other choices.

I was in a house with my brother, the landlady of the house offers spaces for people to sleep. She asked which one of us sleeps messier, the messier one sleeps upstairs on carpet and the other sleeps downstairs on tile. She explained that it's harder to clean tiles cause she would have to buy new ones to replace the dirty ones. I thought it was really silly at first but it somehow made sense. I was picking out clothes to change in to and found a pair of pajama pants. It was tie dyed with baby blue. After looking at it closer, it was filled with patterns that I apparently screen printed. I was surprised at how clean and new it looked after washes.

12AM-10AM

Day 1 - I dreamed that I was in a bus with L and K². L had some kind of rope and I think I cutted it. She was kinda mad and asked me for another one,
while K² keep pushing me around telling me to give L another rope. I irritaded myself and told K² to shut up. And said to L that I would buy another one,
even though in my dreams I didn't had money(like in real life).
Then the dream jumped and I was holding L hands and playing around with her. Then we kissed and I was surprised as fuck. We kissed for a while
then the dream jumped again. We were in her place (wich I never saw),
and she was leaving with her grandparents. Her grandfather keep pushing around too and being rude. Out of nowhere he took a bootle of alcohol (wtf),
and started to throw at me spheres of liquid(alcohol bending?), when it hit me, exploded and burned me. I said to L that I was gonna leaving and I think I awaked.

P.S.: I just know L from sight and never had an actual conversation with her, for a time she was my crush I didn't fell attracted for her anymore
in a few months. Now with this dream I don't know.
P.S. 2: K² are 2 twins that I just know from sight too. What I think it's strange is that both L and K² didn't mean a lot to me, I don't know why they
become DC's.

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

It is before my wedding and I am at my old job at the university. My boss and other faculty members force me to prove my worth by presenting my thesis in a couple of days. I say that I have too much going on in my life. One professor tells me that I am really good but I never see anything through to completion. I agree and begin crying. I did not prep for the presentation and I winged it (I don't recall how it went). The night before I partied and trashed the lab.

Dream 2:

I am helping administer chemotherapy to a friend in a dirty bathroom. I would wash my hands, mix the drugs, spin them down, then administer them.

It was as if I new the drug would work but it was not yet approved - I was giving it on the down low.
