non-lucid

Okay, I really should have written these down fully this morning, instead of just brief notes. But at least I have something to go by, I suppose. Three dreams today, since I used a suggestion that I would wake up after every dream.

In the first dream, I'm playing some sort of Tactics RPG. Of course, like many dreams, "playing" means I'm walking around inside the game world, and it looks totally real. The main things I recall (from notes) are that there are three factions or towns that you can choose to join and help. There's tension between them, and presumably some sort of branching story as a result. The other thing is that part of the charm is that there are a million billion sidequests, and all sorts of fun to be had there. I remember that there are some I cannot do yet, even though I am told about them. One said I needed to complete 50 more battles in the main story, or something like that. I also have notes that don't dredge up memories... apparently the "elf" town looked like the most fun of the three factions... and then there's something about "other save files". The downsides of working from notes well after I should have written these down... I guess that's all for this dream.

In the second dream, I'm in a small apartment with a bunch of people I apparently knew in the dream, but didn't in real life. It's extremely cluttered and dirty, and we're somewhere cold and snowy. The apartment also has the same floorplan as my current, real life apartment. There are frequent cleaning sprees to try to keep the clutter down to a minimum, and I inevitably feel like I'm in somebody's way when these happen. Although, the people seem nice enough, generally speaking. That's really about it for this one... "Cold, cluttered, in the way..." Heh, there's probably some deeper symbolism here. I'll worry about it if it's recurring.

The third dream directly relates to Project Sanctuary, and the work I'm doing with it (or lately, SHOULD be doing...). There's someone who's trying to help me with the psychic and spiritual development I seek. I have a strong feeling that it's the woman who invented Project Sanctuary in the first place. There's a sort of "Sanctuary" setting going on in my dream, and we're both in there, at a table. Alas, both of us get distracted with reading some documents on the table instead of getting on with what we set out to do. I didn't write much about the documents, for some reason... but I feel like they were about some other guy, someone who seemed rather unsavory... I dunno. I will write tomorrow's dreams down sooner in the morning, for sure!

That's all, then. Now off to bed to make the same autosuggestion!

1.me and a bunch of boy scouts sit at a boy scout camp and do nothing.

2.Edward norton and i fight(more play fighting thanactual fighting) inside a tent while it is raining.

I saw Moonrise Kingdom last night so it probably explains these dreams.

I've been out of school for a year and 6 months, and I wanted to go back and see my friends and teachers. So I went to my old highschool and went to every class I used to goto, just as if I was in school. It was fun too. The teachers let me in their classes and my friends still remembered me.

At the end of last period I walked outside and my Marine recruiter Ssgt. Gauge was there waiting for me. He looked over at the crowd leaving the building and saw me 'okay, lets go'. I knew he was taking me to the pool function, but I hated going to those things. I acted like everything was cool and followed him across the street and behind the recruiting office. Out there were 10 poolies and a recruiter. They were all dressed in ACU camo. The recruiter was yelling in one of the poolie's face.

Ssgt. Gauge led me passed the recruiting office and we watched a reenactment of a battle, with only one tank.

I was floating in the water, watching as these weird boats went by. They were round spheres with a ring around them. They looked more like planets than boats. The occupants of the boats were gathering for a reunion.

My Album's In The Charts! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This was a horribly disappointing dream to wake up from, albeit a bit ridiculous.

I'm with my dad who shows me that my new dream-inspired drum & bass track has made its way into the top 10 music downloads of this week. I'm amazed, not only because I'm nowhere near that standard yet, but because I haven't even released it! I wonder if someone's put it up for sale without me knowing.

I then notice the whole album is included in a multi-album compilation CD. My fears of copyright are massively dwarfed by my overwhelming sense of flattery.

Dream 1 - non lucid - 8.51am

An group of older woman, 50 - 60 years, are talking about their recent holiday, and how they did nothing but drink every day, they say they would love to move abroad.

Dream 2 - non lucid

I am Robin, from Batman and Robin. I am sat with Poison Ivy, and another male comic character who is large and burly. The two are talking about how Batman is about to attack, and needs stopping. They send me to stop him, while they think of a way to stop him for good. I find him up in some roof rafters, and we start fighting each other, however this becomes very erotic due to us grabbing and rolling around with each other, and soon the dream turns into me and him having steamy, rough sex on rooftops. This goes on for some time, in quite a lot of detail. Eventually I wake up, feeling very flustered and horny.

***NOTEWORTHY***
Dream recall was terrible, but the good sex dream made up for it

Time of getting into bed: 1.48am

Dream 1 - lucid at the end - 3.35am

I am laying in the bed I fell asleep in. My partner is laying next to me, he gets up, and does not open his eyes, but tries to get out of bed sleepily. I ask him what he is doing, and he claims he is getting up to go and get changed. I think he is sleepwalking so I tell him to get back into bed, he grabs me, and I kiss him on the lips. He doesn't respond, which I think is strange, and I tell him he is dreaming, but he gets a little annoyed. I now realise I am dreaming. I decide to wake myself up, because I feel uncomfortable in this dream, and feel like my dream partner is getting angry. I wake up and am slightly annoyed I woke myself up when I could have made use of being lucid.

Dream 2 - lucid at the end - 5.19am

I am with my partner, and we are going to go and take a shower. We drive along a dirt track road, it is muddy with ditches either side. It seems to be located in the middle of a field. We get to the end, and there is a small building, like a shed, which has a shower inside it. N gets in the shower, he has a red towel round his waist. I wait in the car, as I do, I look to my left (I am in the passenger seat) and notice a playground in the distance. It looks old and abandoned, and there are a group of intimidating youths hanging around, possibly drinking. There are 2 girls who are also there, just passing by. One of them is wearing nothing but a pink towel, and I know she has just had a shower and is making her way home. The youths harass them, and lift up her towel. I don't move from the car, because I don't want them to see me. I lock the door, and the youths make their way over. They surround the car, but only one approaches close, he lifts up the window wiper and lets it go. I open my door slightly, so I can shout out 'What do you want?' He tells me to open the door so he can get in, I say no. I then shut the door and lock it, before he tries to get in. I then stare at the shower waiting for N to return, hoping he will be fast. The youth knocks again and again, but I ignore him. Finally N comes out the shower, and does not realise what is going on. I jump into the drivers seat (which is on the wrong side of the car) and unlock the car so he can get in, I shout to him to hurry up. The youth gets his hand inside my door, but I bite hard on his arm, drawing blood. I clearly remember the feel of his flesh on my teeth. Then as N gets in I lock the doors, and drive away fast, taking care not to drive down the ditch as we flee. I suddenly become lucid, I have no idea how I do this but suddenly I know I am dreaming, and I am watching the car from above, like a bird in the sky. There are a few seconds of noise in my ears, while I watch the car drive away safely, then I wake up.

Dream 3 - non lucid - 7.10am

I am me, but I am a super fast runner, and with my family. We are in a place which is a bit like a theme park, and I run at super speed everywhere.There is a themed area called 'Breakfast of Champions' which features some statues and objects. We go to a house, inside this house, we get stuck, a bit like in a deflated bouncy castle. I have to use my super speed to run 'at' or 'up' the walls, to free us and get us back to being on our feet. I remember the room is brown. Someone gave me some weed to slow me down, and I sit and watch a TV show. The program is about a hospital in Stamford, where they carry out surgical proceedures for enhancing beauty, such as breast enlargement etc. There is a female narrator, and some famous clients having plastic surgery, including Kelly Osbourne. They have a visit from a famous singer (female, late 40's) although I know she is famous I don't know who she is. The narrator makes a point of saying the singer has NOT had plastic surgery, and the singer sings to the clients as they are recovering.

Dream 4 - non lucid -9.13am

I am at my sister's house, and I hear her boyfriend getting mad at her, then beating her up rather badly, saying 'You make me do this.' While she cries in pain, I jump up to see, but do not help her, although I am very upset. After he leaves I take her to one side and tell her to leave him, that she can come and live with me and I'll look after her. She is sad and crying.

Later on in the same dream, I am rolling a joint with L, when I find out (via Facebook maybe?) that R has got a job that he was after, and tried hard to get. We celebrate, and I buy R a pencil, and a pencil sharpener as gifts to say well done. S wants to go to the pub, but my partner doesn't want to as he is too tired.

Dream 5 - non lucid

My mum takes me on a ride, where you climb into a small room, and someone shuts the door behind you. (a bit like a ferris wheel, but bigger, and more solid, like rooms instead of cages.) The ride takes you really high, into outer space, and you can see the whole of the universe. I don't like it at all, I don't feel safe and I complain to my mum. When we get back down, my mum gets off the ride, but leaves me on with a man I don't know. The man is drunk. I try to get off the ride, but my exit is blocked by a man drinking in a pub, and chatting to his mates, and he has 3 pints of cider on a table next to him. I do a flying kick and smash the glasses off the table, so I can escape the ride. This is caught on film, and everyone stares, some people are impressed.

Dream 6 - non lucid 11.15am


I forgot the beginning of this dream, because I took a while to wake up properly and get to my DJ. It was a matter of seconds, but the dream kept slipping from my memory.

I have made my dad a CD of music, mostly Nirvana and the White Stripes. At first he is unsure but he soon gets into it and appreciates it. I found some of Kurt Cobain's old clothes, which are like animal skins, sort of like what cavemen would wear. It includes a fur hat, with ears. I put them on, and as I look in the morror, I have long, curly ginger hair, which is all knotted. I try to pull the knots apart but it rips my hair.

I go to work like this, and work is in a dark, cluttered place with lots of people. My boss is an older woman who is angry and strict. A friend (not from RL) works with me, they are a bit of a walkover but I am not. Our job involves fitting a knife, fork and spoon into the corresponding slots. My friend has no knife, and is worried about what the boss will do when she finds out. I reassure them, and we make plans for when we get out of work.


***NOTEWORTHY***
N has never sleepwalked
I can't drive in RL, but it was N's car I was driving in the dream
Someone was smoking weed in the same room before I went to bed, and I did help them roll, but didn't smoke any.
I was telling someone to read 'Breakfast of Champions' before I went to bed
My sisters boyfriend often argues with my sister, but has never hit her
R was moaning about how he should get a new job a few days ago
People were drinking cider in the same room before I went to bed
I often give my dad music, and recently saw a live gig with him.
In real life I have shortish, black hair.

Dream 1 - non lucid

I am looking after a little hamster. It has the appearance of a chipmunk, but in the dream I believe it is a hamster. I put it in a hamster ball, and put it on the floor to get some exercise, however it keeps rolling around the toys of a young toddler, who keeps kicking it out of the way. I put it back in it's cage before it gets hurt. There are now more, bigger hamsters in the cage, who call this little one 'mouse.' I try to find out what it is, and figure out it may actually be a squirrel. I decide if it is a squirrel I should let it go free, as Squirrels are wild animals. It then starts talking to me, asking me; 'Why?'

Dream 2 - non lucid

Some burly Scottish men are nearby, they are singing loudly in harsh Scottish accents. There is some dispute or fuss about them with the locals, but soon they come past me, in a funeral procession carrying an open coffin with a dead Scotsman in it. They are all dressed in traditional Scottish clothing (kilts, etc) and hold the dead body high, like he was important. I can clearly see the dead man's white, deathly face. One of them is playing bagpipes. I chat friendly to one of them, and agree to look after his horse as a favour while he sorts out the funeral. So he brings his horse into my back garden, where I tie it up in the shade, and find an old dog's bowl. I fill the dog's bowl full of fresh water, and put it near the horse. The horse seems thirsty and drink's the water fast and messily. It is a big shire horse, and well looked after. I have a fountain pen in my pocket, which I take out, and play with. There are suddenly a few people around me, some of them have pens too, and the ones who don't are searching for fountain pens. I find out they use the pens to smuggle drugs, and therefore they are quite valuable. I now find out I actually have a whole set of pens, 2 thin and 2 thick, in a posh presentation box which is a shiny purple colour. Everyone now thinks that I am smuggling drugs. I show them the pens, which have double as lipsticks. I decide I must leave and manage to avoid these people somehow.


Dream 3 - non lucid

Suddenly I am in what I thought in my dream was my own house. It was nicely decorated and large. I have a beautiful wife, who has gone out shopping, and while she is gone I am cheating by having sex with a man. I know this is not the first time this has happened and this is an on-going affair. Then I go into our swimming pool, and have sex with another man, as we are coming back into the house, my wife returns and catches us together. She is rather annoyed, but seems to expect it, she gets angry and shouts but is not really shocked, like she is used to it. I don't feel any feelings towards her, or any feelings of guilt.


***NOTEWORTHY***
I had a pet hamster as a child
I don't have a wife, or a house!

Ok this is one of those dreams that seemed so life-like and normal in the dream, and then when you look at it the next morning you go "What the heck???"

So I remember I was at this lake on a little teeny boat. It seemed more like a surfboard. Anyways, I was on this little surfboard and then out of no where this cop comes running on the water. That isn't what surprised me though. I was surprised that I got pulled over by this cop because I was on a private lake and he wasn't supposed to be there. So I remember asking him, "Hey, why are you even here exactly? This is a private lake and you have no jurisdiction over it." I thought about doing a reality check just to make sure but then the cop replied that even though it was private property, it wasn't MY lake so he could pull me over. Apparently I was satisfied with this because I decided against the reality check YET AGAIN!!! *slams head into desk* So I started off again just paddling around this lake. Then I spotted this racoon in the water. I was like "Oh my gosh, there is the little sucker that keeps eating all my chickens!" (I used to own some chickens) I paddled over and grabbed him. The wierd thing is that it was mounted on some sort of tracks like a little robot. I grabbed it by the tracks so it wouldn't move and bite me. Now I didn't know what to do though cause I wanted to kill the thing but didn't have a good way of doing it. I went over to the shore and jus tstarted slamming it into the ground. Then the same cop that stopped me earlier came over and started killing it by beating it over the head with his shoe! It finally died and then a bunch of people showed up and there was this huge celebration. I was the guest of honor and I remember all I got was a plate of veggies. YUCK! I remember some dude gave me a bunch of cokked carrots and I just slammed them on the ground.

So ya that was one of the most random dreams I have had in quite some time. Wierd huh?

Dream 1 - non lucid

A girl I know in real life (E) and her friend are in a caravan, in a caravan site. Me and I are driving around the site rather fast in a car, we are making lots of noise and throwing things out of the windows. E starts to complain about us, she is not happy at all. We start making rude shapes out of our shadows, and I blames someone else's child for making the rude signs. However I think it's funny and we keep doing it. We then go and sit inside an old, abandoned car. It is silver colour. We sit inside, which is all overgrown with grass, and there appears to be a huge pile of copper coins inside. I find this really cool and keep trying to take pictures of it.

Dream 2 - non lucid

We (me and my friends) have done something wrong and there is some sort of man-hunt after us. There are helicopters in the sky searching for us, so we try to hide. At one point we are hiding on some stairs, we are kind of scared. I have written in my DJ that we may have seen someone we shouldn't have seen.

Dream 3 - non lucid

I go to work at a Pizzeria. While we have not been at work, there has been a leak from a tap and there is water everywhere, the whole place is flooded. I worry because I think the boss will be angry. I am shown how to make Pizzas.

Dream 4 - non lucid

I am waiting in a queue, I think for some building to open. I have a cheap pushchair, but I get annoyed with it because it is so cheap and tacky, so I throw it on the street next to me and decide to get a newer, better one. The building opens and we go inside, there is a small makeshift stage, with a live sex show being performed on it. They are performing some very XXX acts. Some people join in, which is allowed in this place. Will Smith was there also, but not doing anything sexual. I don't do anything sexual, just watch. There is a photographer taking photos of people in an artsy, portrait way while they are having sex. He then offers to sell the photos back to them.


***NOTEWORTHY***
I rarely bump into E
I watched a program about sex fetishes before bed

I found this beautiful dream in Korean.... So I'm translating this right here ^_^

The air was crispy clear,
I was flying sky high like a free bird.
Floating with fluffy clouds,
A blue light shot from the ground.

A pub with a cowboy atmosphere,
I looked around to see an old man and a devil;
Pointy ears and pointy teeth.

They were casually talking and drinking,
Like old friends.

I had a sudden feeling that
They might solve a question I longed to figure.

I made my mind and approached to a devil.
The devil stared at me; a passionate red light embracing me.
The devil opened his mouth and spoke;

“Do not try to find meaning in your life.
Meaning generates infinite riddles with no answers.
You have a heart; do what you ‘feel’ like.
That is a sole purpose, a duty in your life.”

It is the devil’s advice,
Unreasonable offence engulfed the wisdom.
I talked to the old man, watching;
The old man stared at me; a knowledgeable purple light embracing me.
The old man opened his mouth and spoke;

“What are you worrying about?
Act as you feel like,
Do not worry about the result ahead.
Reflect once you get there.
You are the one who perceive with action.”

I take a memo of their wisdom,
An answer might have stayed within my deep conscious.
It was a good dream.


Comment:
Dreams reflect our subconscious; results of the same dream can be completely deferred by situation and a person. It needs intuition and a conscious trust to interpret them.
Flying the sky is the new start with new vision. The blue light shot from the ground forced ‘me’ to face the reality; the pub.
The old man and the devil talking is a coexistence of emotion and wisdom.
The old man is wisdom and intelligence, a devil is a repulsive resistance against reality.
The red light is passion. The devil’s talk is not a belief or a notion, but chants for exposing an emotion, a life and a red passion. The purple light is wisdom, urging ‘me’ to focus on the action more than a mere thought.

Lately I haven't put anything in my online DJ. I think it's good to rewrite my dreams as it helps with the whole awareness thing (and the other stuff). Two or three days ago on the forum I asked if it was ok to write just points of my dreams and recall the rest from memory. They had a good point: "If you only write down points in your dream, you will train yourself to just remember points of your dream when you wake up. You should write down as much as possible if you want to have a better dream recall." So that's what I should do to become better at LDing. If I can't write down everything when I wake, than just write something, and later in the day (when I'm a bit more awake but still earlier in the day) write the everything. ... And just so you know, I writing stuff down like this helps me to actually do it. I don't care if it's entertaining for you to read. ; ->

So now I'm going to list my dreams from my paper DJ. (In chronological order)

I had a dream I was flutter tonguing really well on my Oboe. I think I was in my room.

Another dream started in third person view: I watched myself enter my house. I had just got back from high school. (It was the summer thought.) The next thing I remember waking (not third person any more) around in my house going from room bedroom to bedroom. The ceilings were all slanted, it was a different type of architecture from what it is in waking life.

Few nights later I had a dream that I was partaking in a scene from the Hunger Games movie. I was on stage and Katniss was there to. It was the scene from the interviews. The funny thing was the fact that the stage was my bathroom with two of the walls removed. Katniss, a big fat man, and someone else was there. It was a tribute, but I can't recall who it looked like. Katniss was staring (or talking to the people) but very stationary like she was preoccupied by something. I looked out and saw the crowd and I saw camera flashes and lights. I saw people, but just there shapes. They were far away and unlit. I started talking to the fat man. The stage is still my bathroom. Next thing that happens is everyone on stage (the four of us including me) are shaking hands. I shake hands with the big guy, but Katniss and the big guy keep reaching out to shake hands but can't seem to shake hands. (Imagine that they are blindfolded. That's a good way to describe it..) I grab both of there hands and force them together. The big guy thanked me. I don't know what happened next. (Btw, the big guy had a white goatee.)

Another night after that, I had a dream I was watching a simulation of a big skyscraper being constructed and deconstructed, well kind of. It had a beige exterior and a lot a light blue glass windows. Two of the four sides
had glass windows and the other pair (opposite each other) indented inward.. I don't know how to explain it well. (I drew a picture but don't fell like uploading it.) Anyways, there was a square cap of the top of the skyscraper. It looked nice. Those two walls that I mentioned that were indented in keep having another "extension" of the building that was added to the side and then quickly removed floor by floor or block by block.
The dream itself was short, but different what anything before.

And lastly, yesterday night I had a dream that I was with one of my friends. The place was my high school. Many things were different about it most noticeably it becomes a freaken huge maze of hallways and doors in some of my dreams. Some of them are in the "more normal school layout", but others like this one are in this freaken huge labyrinth! It's fun just thinking about it. There is A LOT to this dream. It built off of the layout of a previous dream. The previous dream I mentioned was a long time ago. To sum it up, I mistook my high schools swim club for the swim team. This was after navigating a submerged labyrinth (it was a labirinth of changing rooms delapidated sumerged rooms, and submerged weight rooms for the most part... and and bathrooms and arching halls connecting everything.) My math teacher was in charge of the swim team that I mistook for the swim club. Needless to say, I hoped in the water, the race started, and I came in last. (Other parts of the dream world include above ground hallways and the only room I remember coming to is a bathroom.) In the dream from yesterday, I was with one of my friends and we were carrying kayak paddles. I oped a metal door and a teacher on the other side deemed what we were doing to dangerous. Other teachers soon appeared/came and they were debating if we should get in "a lot of trouble". I wakled up to them and said some stuff to persuade them. The dream ended before a consensuses arrived.

Dream 1

Some guy was sitting at a concert, I think a rock festival. Another guy walked towards this man, and pulled a long slice of French Bread, and told the guy with a very serious voice "It's the safest place to go in the morning" and suddenly the scene changed to me climbing up a mountain from the game Minecraft.

Dream 2

My mother and step-dad was playing a zombie game downstairs in our living room, I think it was on Nintendo Wii, but it might have been an Xbox 360. I looked at the screen, which was kind of blocked by an ironing board, it showed a first-person shooter where you shoot zombies using only machine guns. Once the game was finished, it popped up on the screen claiming my mother had unlocked 'cooking mode' for her game. I asked her what the hell it meant, and she told me that it was because the characters were told they couldn't cook, and instead she was going to unlock golfing mode instead.

(This made no sense at all, what the hell?)

Well, the first thing I remember is that the setting was from the Civil War. I remember I was with this group of general guys on a hill in the forest somewhere. Then out of nowhere this huge wall of water came rushing at us. We all went tumbling around in the water and were washed away. Then the dreamscape changed but still in the same dream. (maybe some involuntary dream spinning? ) Anyways, the flood was still going on but I was now at my house and no one else was there. Then the water seemed to subside slightly and I was able to craw into the house. It was now raining heavily and the flood was soon to return. For some reason though, I felt the urge to run upstairs and shut down my computer first. So I go upstairs and begin closing programs and such. As I am doing this, I look out the window and see half of my house go floating by. The whole first story now was completely submerged as well. In the dream I remember thinking, "Wow this is wierd. The house just split in half and the whole basement is under water, yet my computer still has power. Hmm... oh well, guess I'll just finish what I am doing." *facepalm of epic proportions* Yet ANOTHER opportunity that would of been perfect for a reality check. Anyways, that is about all i remember from this dream.

I am standing outdoors in a grassy area a few yards away from an old abandoned wooden shack. With me is my friend Dillan, I feel as though we are on a journey. Near the shack I see something sparkle in the grass, as I run over to grab it I realize what it is and exclaime it by saying "yes, diamond sward!" but as I pick it up and see my reflection in its matalic surface I am surprised that it is iron, Dillam and I continue on. Past the shack we get to a hillside, there are at least 4 people on it and one of them asks us "do you even know what a diamond sward is?" he has brown hair, greyish eyes and a jawbone to resemble a British persons, he also spoke with a slight accent. and I reply "it's this as" I hold up the sward, the same person then responds "you are an idiot, that is iron" he gestures for another person to do something and someone walks up beside him and pulls a plastic neon pink rod out of their pocket, the first person then says "that, is a diamond sward" I respond agin "yes except it should be blue" ignoring the fact that it isn't sharp to the slightest extent. (the dream then quickly fades out and I open my eyes to a bright morning.)
