non-lucid

A friend of mine and I looked at the files stored in a game. We looked at the games mechanics and explained things to each other if we didn't understand something. As we looked at a buff I suddendly woke up.

(this was a very cinnamic dream, it was 3rd person at times and had a story similar to an adventure movie) I see my self in a dark blood red stone cavern, I flip a switch on the wall of it. I then run as fast as I can into a large open space where there is lave mixed with spots of obsidian and large chunks of rapidly melting and reforming cloudy white ice. I view myself jump across the ice being careful not to slip in the lava however I do move with a sort of urgency. I make a final jump and land on an obsidian and red stone island in the center, with a swift step I run over to a chest and pull out a small bit of mine track. As soon as I pick this up I drop it on the ground and it begins growing into a long track, I look around for mine cart but don't see one, I do however see a larger chest and after a look inside I have acquired my transportation. I lift the heavy cast iron cart and put it on the track and as I do this fireballs are hurdled towards me from above by a flaming semi spherical flying creature. (as this happens my view also switches to first person) I push the cart off and begin going down a diagonal pathway in the ground. The creature comes after my and in a swift pass by it injures me with its heat, I hear a deep voice say loudly "DO YOU THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE BLZE?" in response I begin throwing snow balls at the fiery beast, then it throws a single fireball and I return a single snowball. This repeats about 3 times before it crates a lightning bolt out of thin air, it uses it as a sward like weapon and I feel the high voltage surge through me down my legs and arm, I grasp when it gets to my hand and I form my own bolt. I swing at "Blaze" and repay the damage it has caused to me. It hits me agin and I use the electricity in my hand to strengthen the weapon, needless to say this time I more than repay the damage, however it gains a higher strength weapon with a golden handle. It impacts me one last time as we hurtle down the diagonal shaft. (I slowly awaken and after a short moment of though recall this adventure, I just wish it had an end!)

I stand next to a produce farm of my construction, it is about 3ft. by 5ft. To one end it contains sugar cane and it has water channels in between small pumpkin crops most of the rest of the way down, on the edge slightly longer Mellon vines grow. I think to myself that I have a lot of good crops, however there is one I cannot identify next to the sugar cane, about 6ft. in hight and 4in. in diameter, and off white in color. As I look closer I realize that it is hollow, I look inside and see a turtle shell with a floating almost digital translucent gray name tag above it that reads T-Dog. (here the dream skips) I now stand in a church while the turtle is being mummified in another building, the walls are lined with tall and vibrant stain glass windows. I stand next to the priest, other than us the entire place is empty. Suddenly rocks come hurdling through multiple of the brightly eliminated windows, the priest gets red in the face, I can tell he is furious. (the dream skips agin) now I find that I am standing outside the church at night, my friend Jacob pops out of nowhere with a tiny crossbow and shoots me with it, however the minute dart simply bounces off my chest. (and the dream fades into an end.) I also recall a fragment of another, something about my old teacher Mr. Van giving me something.

(recall has given me three dreams to record that increase in length.) I first find myself near the top of a pyramid *and I decide I want to put on a frog costume, my friends, Jacob and Dillan are with me so I pull a green shirt out of a large backpack that one of them is wearing. As I put it on a frog mask pops into existence in my hand, I put it on as well. The next thing that happens is my arms are instantly painted green, I am now in a frog costume. (the dream fades and I re appear in a sort of continuation of the dream.) my friends and I stand inside of the pyramid in the tomb chamber, we are running for fear that we have awoken the mummy. We sprint out of the pyramid and up a ramp to a treehouse like building that is located inside of a monumental tree's branches. We instantly begin looking through chests and storage containers for any kind of weapon, I find a flimsy bow and five arrows, and the others find a wooden sward and a stick. We continue looking for something better, however the mummy eventually walks into the room, I yell and begin trying to hit it with my arrows but mostly miss and hit the wooden floor because of the low power of the bow. (this dream as well ends and I show up in completely different one all together. *I am in a large backyard and just across a short white fence is the neighbors yard. I look over and under a large hedge lies a enlarged human head. It's eyes open and it looks at me, signs of decomposition are obvious, it says "hello" to me and I simply walk away and go inside the house. I return the next day and talk to it, we eventually meet every day. (this is time lapsed from my view however it feels like weeks.) one day it tells me "come here, I have protein saved up, come take it" I reply "you need it more than I do, im not the one who is dead" and then with a chuckle it says "but you are dead" the next day I go to a cemetery and see my name on a tomb stone. I say to myself "so the only surprise is when it is going to happen" *then a van comes speeding through the cemetery and crashes through multiple headstones before crashing into me at full speed and killing me. I then awaken as the head below the shrub, and I know it was me the entire time. (the dream fades and I awaken to see that I have slept in late)

I began in a laboratory with a another person who is operating a digital microscope, we view a small area of a human skull on a monitor, the surface of it has small chipped places in the shape of a tiny smiley face. The person (who I realize is wearing a lab-coat like I) explains that what we see is a type of pre-historic tattoo. (the dream begins to fade and I slowly wake)

Alright I have a TON of notes for this one, because several important things happened to me in the course of about 10 minutes. For time's sake, and the sake of recollection, I'll go straight into describing the dream.

I was dreaming about being in our backyard, and looking at what damage the drought as caused some of the plants. I noticed that one of my bushes had spontaneously grown tomatoes in the center, though it was not a tomato vine. I poked at one. Then I noticed one of the citrus trees looked dry as usual, and the ground surrounding it also dry. But it was mysteriously missing it's little decorative brick border. Also, it was too close to the fence all of the sudden. I looked at the place it should have been, and there was an entirely different plant (like a basket topiary), in its place with the brick border. I thought, "This isn't right, OH I'm dreaming!!" This next moment is extremely important.: Right after becoming lucid, and for the few seconds before remembering that I want to complete a TOTM, I became very aware of the fact that I had only fallen asleep a minute before. And while the transition was by no means perfectly seamless, as there were a few moments where I couldn't account for the time exactly, and I had blacked out a little. I'll explain in a bit why I know how much time had elapsed, and why this is important. Anyway, moving on. I remembered the advanced task of the month almost immediately, as the thought of completing the basic task flashed through my mind. However, I knew I didn't have much time (you'll see why in a minute), and the fact that I was in the garden was going to make it hard to find a pen and paper. So in a panic, I willed something, anything to write with, to appear. A Bic, black ink pen appeared on the ground. YESSSSS I thought. I grabbed it, and not even bothering to look for paper, I tried to write something on my arm. I was able to scratch my arm a little, which hurt, but the ink wouldn't come out or show up on my arm. I wishfully looked at a table on the back porch, and I saw a pice of ripped manilla paper that Chris usually likes to doodle on. Double YESS! I ran and grabbed it, and quickly scribbled on it, and it worked. So I tried to think of something to write from my waking life, and the first thing that popped into my head was "Last night, I cooked chicken for dinner." I even recollected quite clearly the actual dish, as it was something I had never made before. I wanted the sentence to be simple though, and started to write, "Last night, I.." Then I got distracted by some scribbling that was on the top of the paper already. I don't remember what it said, but when I looked back to the sentence I was writing, it was all gibberish. I scratched it out and tried it again, just under my first attempt. Exact thing happened again haha! So this time, I made myself focus on the task. I mean, we're talking pain in the brain, making myself focus on writing this tiny little sentence without getting distracted. I finally got it all written out, and I remember being ecstatic that I completed both tasks within the first week of the month.

Then Danny's snot rocket ritual (in real life) woke me up momentarily. I fell back to sleep, and again lost a little consciousness, and reappeared in the garden. I became instantly lucid again, because all the plants were jacked up in the same way. And this time Jason (RareCola) was there. This is also important for 2 reasons which I'll get to later. I was so excited to see him and show him the "journal". In this second lucid, it actually had grown from a simple piece of ripped paper, to a big book that looked like something that would be on Harry Potter's bookshelf. I opened it to the first page, and there was my waking life entry! Although, it now said "Lst nghnit, I cked CHKN fr dnnr," though imagine that with some Ns and Rs backwards. I explained to Jason that this happens apparently if you look away, then back again, at my journal. Then I turned some pages and there were drawings that Chris had made of bears, and dogs, and other animals. Same magic. If I looked at a bear, then turned the book around, then looked at the bear again, it changed. It looked all poofy, like it got its tail stuck in an electrical outlet. Same thing for each animal drawing, and I showed each one to Jason, who found it remarkable.

At this point in time I think my lucidity became a bit hazy, but then I got it back, or I woke up briefly then fell back to sleep and got lucid again. Which one I can't recall, but I DO recall being lucid again, and going inside the house, being so proud of my TOTM accomplishments. I decided it was time to celebrate, since I couldn't really think of anything else to do. So I summoned a DC and we got it on. I actually awoke from that final lucid, because my DC and I heard a soft buzzing noise. I told him, "Oh that's just Danny in real life, brushing his teeth with the electric toothbrush." Then I woke to the sound of the electric toothbrush.

Now, how did I know exactly how much time had passed in these lucid dreams, and furthermore, how did I know that I had little time before the dream would end? First, we set our alarm this morning for 6:30am. And Danny ALWAYS gets up first (because his bathroom ritual takes about 10 minutes, whereas mine takes 5 or less). At any rate, it's always the same ritual: 1. Peepee for 2 minutes (I swear he has a horse bladder), 2. Snotrockets in the sink (3 minutes), 3. Wash face and comb hair (3 minutes), and 4. Electric toothbrush (2 minutes). Then the bathroom door opens and it's time for me to get up. So, when I first became lucid, I knew it had to be between 6:30 and 6:40, because after the alarm went off and Danny went into the bathroom, I tried to sleep in for those 10 minutes, and I felt some mild vibrations. When Danny's snotrockets woke me up after the first dream, and I went right into the next lucid dream, I know I had maybe 5 minutes left (hair, face, and toothbrush).

Next, why was RareCola's presence so important? First of all, the advanced task was his idea. And it's particularly noteworthy that he just realized in real life, that I don't actually keep a written dream journal (only online). Also, the night before this lucid sequence, Jason and I were talking about the subtle differences between a DEILD chain, and simply having multiple DILDs. I realized that I was really having the latter, because I couldn't honestly recall a single instance where I truly went from conscious wakeful awareness, to a lucid dream, without skipping a beat. There has always been a few moments of time, and fuzziness, and unconsciousness that I couldn't account for. So when I became lucid in that very first DILD, I couldn't help but think of our conversation, and I made that attempt to bring, into this DILD, the analysis of how I became lucid, and of how long it took (which I knew because of Danny's ritual), and of how I could really concretely admit that there was a moment of loss of awareness between those vibrations, and being in the garden and not lucid, then lucid moments later (holy run on sentence batman!).

Finally, I find it truly remarkable, that a DC and I both heard Danny's electric toothbrush, and I had the true, acceptance of what this was. I was in a dream, and my body was in bed, and my sleeping ears were gradually picking up more and more of the sound of his toothbrush in the bathroom. I felt like I existed simultaneously on two planes, if only for a few seconds.

I managed to stuff a shit ton of activities in just 10 minutes!

Non-dream Dream

Just a few fragments today.

Fragment 1: The Olympics are coming up again.

Fragment 2: I am being mean to my wife. Sending her "I hate you" texts.

Fragment 3: I am doing lots of driving and my brakes don't work very well.

I had another dream that I know was epic but my alarm ruined it.

I don't remember much from this dream other than I was in some random house that was in a trailer park... So yeah, not a trailer. I was in an actual house that was in a trailer park. What I remember is that some cops came up to my door and they said some guy was out to kill me So they actually gave me a gun for my own protection. But... Nothing happened. Throughout the dream, I kinda just walked around a bit outside my house, and it was nighttime. No killer ever showed up. That's all I remember. ._.

...Ok... I was in my house with my parents and all I remember is that I was hiding in the bathroom from my mom for some reason. It was all dark and stuff, and the dream involved me just hiding in there, and not really doing anything.
But, I remember, After a while I was watching TV. There was a movie playing. It showed a man and woman flying straight up a clear tube, like an alien elevator or something. Weird stuff happened to them as they were flying. First, they were all normal... Next thing I know they're a weird glob of light skin colored worms, kind of like some sort of brain, then they're both a red sphere... Weird...
That's all I remember from this dream. ._.

This dream kinda ties into the previous one from this dream journal because they occurred on the same night... Anyways...
I was in a dark room full of people who looked like they were students at some sort of martial arts training club or something.
I was the target, however. A lot of them kept approaching me and I had to punch each one just once for them to back off.
Suddenly, I'm in this place with a friend. And the fighters stop coming towards me, so I guess I won. And all the people who were students turn into little kids. And they all come towards my friend and I, with gifts. My friend was getting more gifts than me for some reason. I waited for a bit and a kid came up to me with a box that contained something obviously useless.
As I took it, I remember saying "Thank you, good sir." (lol)
I remember looking at the box... It had a lot of indented red circles on a dark blue background, and the box itself was made of tin, and was Spider-Man themed. o_O I remember reading some words on the box just before I woke up. It said "These Dots Connect-" And that's all I read before I woke up.

Now this one was pretty weird... I was in a dark forest type place, and there was this evil girl. She challenged me to a fight and transformed into like a huge robot or something. But, yet again, I went SEMI-lucid and i summoned a huge spaceship to destroy her. And it worked. I remembered that the lasers from the spaceship I summoned were green. She returned to her normal human form. She was almost as tall as me, pretty skinny, and had blonde hair. I don't remember what happened after that... ._.

Hanging out with Rachel at Whole Foods. She has a job where she draws pictures for the customers of whatever they want. A lady comes by and asks for hers, and Rachel said that she's sorry, it hasn't been done yet, and the lady complained that she had put in the order a long time ago. Rachel tells her she will do it right now, and the lady walks off. Rachel then hands it to me, and tells me to draw it. I can't draw anything, and tell her this. She tells me that it's easy, to do it. Becca walks up, luckily, and says that she'll do it for me. The drawing is of what is supposed to be someone's Dad, but a super hair almost werewolf version of him, standing on a little deserted island? He's in some weird pose like he's dancing or fighting as a robot, dunno.

In a castle, comparable to the mansion in Arkham Asylum. Part of it is a sidescrolling dream, like in the Scarecrow aspect of the game. During this part, I hit an enemy, and his head explodes. I'm also kind of fly-gliding like batman does.


Here I wake up to try a WILD, and fail.


Some guys is doing research into being able to enter peoples' dreams while they sleep. Basically, you become a DC in the dream. I go into the dream that he tells me not to enter, because I'm dumb like that. It's a hostile environment, there are three people with huge swords, three evil people, and I can't get out. I had to pretend that I was helping them fight some person that they were fighting, so I also had a huge sword and started slashing. After that, I was able to pull myself out of the dream by using concentrated bursts of willpower, that slowly phased me out of it. It was a crazy experience. I think the guy doing research on this technology was the guy from V for Vendetta. V, that is. While I was in the dream pretending do be a bad guy, Kaia was there as a DC to help me get out. Aside from the dream I went into, there were tons of chambers containing people who were taking place in this experiment. The area was a long network of caves and tunnels.


Here I wake up to try a WILD, and fail again. Just keep falling asleep. Probably because I didn't actually go to sleep until 7AM.


In a castle trying to find something. Maybe a person. I'm very small, toy sized. We find a dog, hold it off a little, then I free it and I'm able to ride it like a horse. That's the last thing I remember before waking up.

I have a lot of dreams of school,but the most I remember are those two:

First:
I find myself in a beautiful school,very big with a fake city area for the smaller kids,a kitchen/play area for them too,very cute like in a library for kids.The hall are more modern,they're big,I see a female teacher leaving a room,and a lot of students walking down the hall.
After walking around I'm in a book are,it looks like a mix of a fancy school library and on of those big bookstores.It had white carpet,cream colored shelving,although some were in dark wood,and dark blue couches.I was in a navy skirt, over-sized navy sweater with a white shirk under it.My hair was blond and kept in pigtails.I was with a brunette with the same clothing as me,and then got a magazine from a shelving,this one looking like one of a modern bookstore.I start reading it,it had a dark orange reddish dragon,and had a CD with it.Soon,the dream was over.

Second:
This one the school was big and modern,without any classical design.The main colors were white and light pale green.I talked to some old friends of mine I don't see anymore.Along with us were the other students,wearing a white shirt as a uniform,I didn't payed attention to the pants.They entered the building,after walking around some outside halls,while I kept going till the a not so modern or pretty area.The grass was tall,and there was two wooden houses painted in the pale green.As I entered,there was people from 8th grade and high school mixed up,and even my teacher from 8th grade.Some people tried to talk to me,I don't remember the subject.After some time,the dream was over.

This place will be where I post some of the dreams I remember,and hopefully will be able to start posting about my future Lucid dreams.

I don't like American Idol btw.

I was in a small auditorium, with my old classmates making up the audience. It was announced by the host that I had won American Idol and $1,000,000. I was pretty stoked about the mil. Didn't care about Idol. My classmates jumped up and cheered for me. Some famous black woman came up to hug me. Then I went back up stage and gave a quick victory speech. I found it hard to keep my balance on the stage.

Then I remember we all left the room to go to another room outside.
