non-lucid

Two dreams from last night ... Both of them pretty long, neither of them lucid. But they were pretty memorable and detailed, at least.

DREAM #1

Time: 1:05

I'm with my family. We're staying at a huge house in Cape Cod with really large windows. In part of the dream I have to sleep somewhere weird like on a chair in the kitchen. I wake up there and think it's the middle of the night, but then my mom is in the kitchen and tells me it's 7 AM. Everyone else in the family is in the living room, which is joined with the kitchen, watching TV.

Then there's a huge lightning storm outside. I stand next to Milo (my little brother), and we watch the storm. We can see the ocean from our house, and it's getting closer and closer. Waves start coming in under the door, and Milo starts screaming and freaking out. I keep yelling at him to calm down, but then I'm secretly worried that the house is going to collapse.

So we all run around the house for a while, admiring all the beautiful lightning outside, and stuff.

After the storm is over, my mom is telling us about how there's going to be a photography competition for people who took pictures during the storm. My sisters and I plan to go to the awards ceremony for this contest, because apparently there are going to be cute teenage boy photographers there or something.

I'm sitting on top of a large bouncy ball during this conversation. The ball has a map of the world on it, drawn in blue and white.

My dad walks in and hands me a really beat-up envelope with green Crayon drawings on it that I assume were drawn by Teddy (my other little brother). Inside is a letter telling me I got into Ithaca College. For some reason everyone in my family seems to find it hilarious. It's either because the letter is old or because it got sent really late, after I've already been through a year of college. Don't know. Anyway, I feel disappointed because I thought the letter would be something more important.

Side note: my sister woke me up from this dream asking if I was okay...apparently I was moving around a lot during the last 30 seconds of the dream or so, and she thought something was wrong with me. Ah haha.



DREAM #2

Time: ~7:30

I return to Hampshire (where I go to college). When I get there, none of my friends are living in the same hallway as me like they’re supposed to. So, everyone else is a complete stranger.

I go into one girl’s room. I sit on her bed with her. She has really curly brown hair. She asks me what I’ve been doing lately, and I tell her I’ve been doing a lot of writing and drawing.

No one else in our hallway is there, because apparently they’re all on “Project Runway” and are off designing clothes all day, and don’t come home until late at night.

The curly-haired girl and I decide to go to some party or something that’s going on. It’s this outdoor event where everybody is sitting at round, black tables on some kind of patio or something. There’s a guy giving a speech, and everyone gives me and the curly-haired girl mean looks because we walked in on the middle of the guy’s speech.

The girl and I sit down at a table. The guy giving the speech says that there should be a bowl of fruit at the center of our table, but the bowl on our table is empty. When I look around, I see that all the other tables have huge bowls of blueberries and strawberries on them. The curly-haired girl is very upset that we don’t have any fruit.

After that, I go to talk to my mom and Fiona (my sister) who are apparently also there. They’re standing next to this pile of what looks like Spanish rice, with tiny mussels in it. It looks really nasty, but my mom says we have to eat some of it. I pick up a handful and eat it, and discover that the mussels just kind of taste like black beans or something, so it actually tastes quite good. So, I keep eating the stuff. For some reason, as I’m eating I think about a time someone apparently told me that you could survive if you only ate three grapes a day––which I’m pretty sure is not true, but in the dream I’m like, “That’s such a fascinating fact!” Fiona is still reluctant to eat the rice, but she eats some of it anyway.

I decide I’m going to go make a sandwich, because apparently there are sandwich-making materials around. I have difficulty finding two pieces of bread, for some reason. The bread is kind of dark … whole wheat, I guess? I put several pieces of orange-colored cheese in the sandwich––and I want to find some turkey, but I can’t find any.

I find a row of fruit, and I’m excited because I decide I really want some fruit. There’s a different set of tongs for each kind of fruit. I want strawberries, but the strawberries don’t seem to have their own set of tongs––so I use the ones that are supposed to be for cheese. Some lady––who looks like my 11th-grade Chemistry teacher––comes up to me and starts yelling at me, saying I’ve made the strawberries taste like cheese or something. I also feel guilty because I realize that, if someone was allergic to strawberries, they can’t eat any cheese now.

I go to look for some coffee, and I find that there aren’t many coffee cups left. There’s this hippy-ish guy with a long, pale beard cleaning out all the coffee mugs in a sink, but he’s not doing a very careful job. He’s just kind of carelessly rinsing them out and putting them on the counter. I pick up a mug that he just rinsed out, and it still looks dirty. But the other mugs left are weirdly-shaped and I don’t want to use them.

And uh, that’s all I can remember.

I was in the bathroom getting ready to take a shower with someone and when opening the shower door there was a variety of bugs. I yelled in shock there was that many bugs in the tub. My mom came in the bathroom and started filling up the tub with hot water as an attempt of getting rid of the bugs. Then i became conserned about the bugs in there dying. I then looked inside and i noticed a bug. i could felt that it had thoughts and was scared of dying and i woke up in the process of saving the bug.

I was sitting in a room with Shane and Jr. We was playing video games and haning out. i wondered why shane was here for i thought he didnt like me personally and why is he here now? After thinking that Jr decides he wants to lay down. All three of us got on the couch. Then shane caught my eye and i wondered how'd he'd react if i kissed him on the cheek. He turned before i reached his cheek and i caught the side of his mouth instead and he kissed me back. Then when backing up to see his reaction he had turned into Curtis. This did not phase me until i awoke. It seemed natural for him to change from one person to another. Then jr started trying to join in and i ignored him going to the floor with curtis and waking up as i was on top of him.

[COLOR="royalblue"]Non-Aware (Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="blue"]Partially Aware (Lucid Dream)[/COLOR] - [COLOR="navy"]Fully Aware and Vivid (Astral Projection(OOBE)[/COLOR]

I went to bed 23:00 after have watched Master-Chef and I found a new way to arrange my pillows to make it more comfortable to remain still in a sitting position. Then I started thinking about anything just to get rid of the thoughts of the day, then I tried a law-of-attraction exercise called Grateful Thinking. Which basically is thinking about everything that I am grateful of from small things like "I am glad that I can breathe" to bigger things like "I am happy that my parents care for me".
And while doing this you forget all about practice and are happy of your life. Just something that can be fun to do and if law-of-attraction works I will see the results soon. I was playing League of Legends on the day and when my teammate stole all my kills that gives me XP I would usually rage, but instead I thought loud in my head "It was unfortunate but I am happy that we at least got the kill and I don't have to worry my time will come." Later on in that game I got a triple-kill and I played the best game in my life. Small thing but maybe there is something to positive thinking.

My body suddenly reacted on auto-pilot and just gave up and switched sleeping posture... So I need to practice my patience even though that it was quite hard to control it this time. I was now laying on my side and I had my head turned to the wall. I then react to something weird.[COLOR="navy"] It feels like I see a room but everything is shaded, it wasn't a daydream but I actually saw this behind my eyelids. If I close my eyes right now I don't get the same feeling. The best way I can think of describing it. Is that if you imagine standing in your bedroom and that it's almost completely dark, you can still "sense" where everything is, but since it's not completely dark you can still see outlines of the objects. [/COLOR]
It was vivid enough for me to not call it a dream because it didn't felt like a hallucination kind of thing.
I don't know how to describe it and I find it hard to believe myself. Although I think there really was something special to it.
So if this happens again I will definitely try to enter it more, because when this happened I was more in shock than excited.

I eventually fell asleep.

[COLOR="royalblue"]I had a dream where I couldn't find a hotel I lived at. So I took my bags and went to the public toilets and for some weird reason I tried to fall asleep there. I remember seeing a dog and a cat in the room and that they were fighting.

When the dream changed I was standing on a cloud and it was kind of uhum crowded. I remember seeing one really hot woman and then some man talking to her and almost immediately kissing her.

Then I were sharing a bed with some girl. I explained DEILD to her and demonstrated the sensations by shaking myself and then told her that it doesn't look like that but it feels like that. I then hear screaming and I see that there were other people in the room they were pointing to a guy in a hockey mask and he had bat. I walked towards him and tried to be a hero. Instead I got a knife in my throat. I put my hand on my throat to hide the wound and then I see Lana from Smallville and she says "How could you possibly survive that? "Well I am still bleeding thanks for caring..." I answered :roll:
I then see the sunlight and I take my hand away and I feel the wound getting healed. I walk inside some house and I see Clark Kent from the same series, I remember we talked about Lana. I told him that he should make a move on her because she likes him and he says "What about my secret?" and I answer "Well you got to risk it to get the biscuit".
Very deep answer I know :cheeky: I then look out through the window and I see a beach and some weird whirlwinds under the water. "Look water tornadoes!" I say. I then hear the screams again and realize that I had forgot the bat man huhu (the man with the bat). I walk inside the house the others are hiding in and they said they were preparing a trap for him. I remember the trap failed and the hit some innocent girl instead. Then I woke up. [/COLOR]

I woke up after each dream I had this night as well and I have started to notice a pattern. If I go to bed between 22:00 and 23:00 I always wake up 01:15 perhaps I can calculate my REM cycle with this if that is useful for something right now.

Apparently I cannot post to my old DJ anymore.....I just since it's been about 4 years the times are a changin'. So here I go....

Had a dream of going to the mall with my mom and waiting outside a store while she shopped.....I smoked several cigarettes until the security guards ran me off b/c the mall was closing. I found my mom in the parking garage but we couldn't find my car. We were stuck on a flight of stairs and could not go down or up, we were blocked by a sort of plastic film that was supposed to keep us from moving up or down a level. I found a pencil and used it to tear into the film so we could crawl through, but we had to do so without security seeing us. Finally I found a ladder that would take us down to the parking area but my mom can't climb ladders so I was concerned, but she did it and I followed. After that she was gone and I was alone and couldn't find my car. I was sidetracked by free gift bags I found with merchandise in them and I loaded up. then I found a security guard and tried to get his help finding my car. It seemed to take forever and I kept losing him. At one point I saw a guy I dated once and used to work with (TD) who was leaving the mall, and I asked him did anyone find my car? And he said "Someone told me it's not my problem". I thanked him for his help and eventually found the security guy who was helping me. He had my bags that I was afraid I had lost and I was so grateful I put my head on his shoulder. The dream ended with me giving him a bj to thank him but it wasn't really "me" doing it, I had turned into some sort of teenage slut. After the BJ I started having sex with him, and the dream ended there.

Later I took a nap and dreamed there were people on my street that had a sort of caravan walking down the street and looked like they needed help. I wanted to offer them help and then found out my parents had offered to carry some of them where they needed to go in their truck. these ppl were tourists who had lost their transportation, it seemed, I wasn't really clear on this. I rode in my dad's truck with one guy and was told to hold this puppy that belonged to another man who was not with us. The puppy was so cute I didn't want to give him up, but I got out of the truck and waited for someone to recognize him. Some people did and a man claimed the puppy and told me I could take him for a walk. Afterwards I got into the truck with my dad, he was driving and the guy was in the passenger seat so I climbed into the bed with my mom and aunt. They stopped at the store to buy what I thought was rolling papers for pot, and I was surprised my parents were doing that in front of my aunt. Then I found out the stranger riding along was getting my dad to get something to activate his crystal meth and when he got it, there was a chemical reaction. I asked my dad if he knew there was basically a meth lab in his truck? I had thought the guy was hot until I realized he was a methhead. All I remember......

I was driving AA, I soon realized that we were driving to her college. I thought I'm driving her because she's not familiar with the place. When we got there, she told me that she recognize it very well. I got angry because I just wasted time and effort when it was not even needed.

I drove AA and PW as they gave me directions. I was going straight and since they stopped giving me instruction, I thought I'll need to continue straight. I then realized that I have to turn left because I was in that lane. I turned and did another quick left turn and ended up in an IHOP parking lot. When I was trying to park correctly, I almost hit a parked red card behind me, it was really close.

My hubby and I used to live in the middle of campus now we live in the middle of no where

I have had this dream a few times
I have a few random jobs in my dreams and I never actually work in my dreams but I talk to the employees and know I work there. One of them is in a mall Its a dream mall ( In rl I hate malls0 but I waited till the mall was closed and opened up the sandwitch shop and stated jamming out to music till I realized I triggered the alarm and did not know how to shut it off so I left. Quickly I went to our old place witch was now someone elses house,I asked about our stuff the guy living there said check the dumpster(the guy in the dream always changes) I jump in the dumpster and start pulling out all of our leather working tools.I can not find the computer or anything else but I am happy with my work tools.My HUsband is never present in these dreams,I jump out of the dumpster and walking down the street everytime I run into the same group of sorority girls I see the same cat I follow the cat witch leads me around the block.And every time aliens are present I do not know why but they are I cant see them but I feel them in the air.I pass the same mil boxes the same every thing down to the sprinkler systems in the area.I go back to my old place and start talking to the guy who lives in my old place.He seems nice but not interested in giving me my computer back
I always wake up right after that point .I know I have had this dream with of course some changes at least 4 times .We moved over a year ago and I do miss living around the chaos of campus.But still so odd .

Non-dream Dream

Dream 1:

I get engaged to two people. The first person is a man. He really wants me to try being gay and I think I kiss him. I really care for him but I quickly realize that I am not gay and I really want kids. I feel horrible but I have to find a way to break it off. I am also engaged to my current wife. I am about to try going along with both engagements but I realize that I can't be married to two people at once (legally). I feel a ton of pressure. I set up presentations and book conference rooms at work to present how I met both people. My coworkers voted on who I should be with and the unanimously voted for my wife.

Dream 2:

I am pitching and locating my fastball very well. My slider is OK too although a few went into the dirt. I strike out the first batter with FB (strike), Slider (ball), Slider (ball), FB (strike), Slider (strike). The next batter (some kid with a bitchy mom) was complaining that I am pitching from too close. I explain that I start my windup with my foot on the rubber and my stride can be as long as I want but the mom was being a bitch.

so i got 3 very short fragments

1 green eyed baby named A - I got this from a book. Literally the letter A was the name. The darker one was G i think.

Sis was entering my apt.

I was eating ravioli

I was taller than Jb

3
I am playing video game at walmart. We in a laying down thing side bye side with other people. Some guy gets mad and I tell him off.

4
A fragment about looking as a giant projection of sunspots.

5 We were being attacke my a giant half horsefly half cricket. Then some salesman comes and talks to my dad. My dad said he wont buy anything. I tell my mom he will and she agrees with me.

6 I am like Indiana Jones. I am exlporing an acient structure. I climb outside and see a engraving with my name on it. Almost lucid but I get distracted. There is a guy coming and I slip back inside. He wants to take what I found. I punch him in the face and run. We are at new location. We get clues by listening to Country Gospel tapes.

7 A fragment about going to a concert. It is crowed and I am looking for my wife. Some people are dancing back and forth.

8 Miley Cyrus is the tangled chick. She is singing about love. I am in my kitchen and I tell her to stop because I will cry.

9 I am at my ex in laws. I am working for him and I am pissed about something.

10. I am at a piano bar and there is a guy in a tux singing. I have a fancy white ark of the covenant next to me. I hire Mexican men to steal the top off. The singer is freaking out about someone stealing his tux.

11. I am getting ready for work but I have long thick blonde hair just like my older daughter. I look in the mirror and I look just like her. I try to put my hair in a pony and think I don't look so much like her. I want to shave my head but I am running late.

I was walking in some backallyish area in my boxers, reflecting on waking life issues. The town's geography was warped so that the school was behind me even though It wouldn't be normally. The area was fairly populated, but I wasn't embarrassed in the slightest.

I woke up fairly early this morning, so I went back to sleep. I soon found myself taking a shower but realized I didn't know how I'd gotten there, as I'd been in bed a moment ago and hadn't gotten up yet. Immediately upon realizing this, my vision faded to black, and I could feel myself back in my bed. I could still hear the shower, though (which led my clearly-not-yet-awake mind to formulate some crazy theory about how sounds in dreams are formed, though I can't remember it now).

I opened my eyes, and the shower noise stopped, leaving my ears ringing for a few moments.

Having just woken up, I decided to check the time. In place of my clock, however, was an advertisement for a site called lucidkids.com, advertising their "memory games to play before you wake". Despite missing this obvious hint, I decided to visit the website anyway. Conveniently, my laptop was right there on my bed. However, I woke up (for real this time) before I had a chance to get to the site.

So... this is my first entry and it's a nightmare which kind of sucks. Let me first of start by saying I am not normally afraid of bugs so this was strange.


I was sitting in class while the teacher was giving a lesson and i was trying to listen but my body was getting really itchy. I started to scratch my arms and when i looks down i had HUGE hives covering my arms. I started to freak out and try to yell at the teacher and everyone around me but no one could here me. I tried to get up out of my chair but it was like i was glued down. The hives on my arms started to shift around and all i could do was scratch them. Then one hive on my thigh ripped open and a huge black beetle came out of it. One after one each hive popped and i started to get covered in these strange beetles. After every hive on my body ripped open i was totally covered up and all i could see, smell, and feel where the beetles. They started to pry open my mouth and crawl inside. after about 5 bugs entered my mouth i woke up.

Not much to report today. When I woke up this morning, I couldn't remember any dreams. I went back to sleep for about an hour ... I think I had a brief dream in which I was watching "Dance Moms" (which I'd watched the night before, before I'd gone to sleep). And some of the moms were complaining about some weird screeching noise that one of the other moms kept making, or something. Very hazy, don't remember much of it ...

I'm driving circuits around CW's house in my own car. Eventually I get bored and decide to go grocery shopping, and enter the store with a huge cart. Shortly afterward, however, I realize I've forgotten my wallet, and I curse and make a big scene. On my way out of the store, I get attacked by a bald eagle that someone from the zoo has been showing off. I distract it by throwing it another bald eagle corpse I happen to have on my person and get into my car with seconds to spare. I see there's a peacock feather and a bald eagle feather on my floorboards, and I don't remember putting them there. As I leave, I run into the person parked next to me and then back my wheels over a nearby cliff. I have to call AAA, and the dream ends.
