non-lucid

I seemed to be in a magical fantasy land, where some of the Dungeons and Dragons type creatures were real. I remember seeing the trees and rocks come alive for sure, and I think there were some other plants too. The trees were treants walking around and talking like normal DCs, as well as the rock creatures. The rock creatures were golems. I interacted with some and talked to them. I should have wrote it down earlier, kinda sketchy now. There was something coming towards the group of them that spooked all the creatures, they ran away from whatever it was and locked themselves behind a steel gate. The gate was set in a high stone wall that circled and enclosed a large area. I never seen what spooked them, but they slowly came out again when it was safe.

Later on, I was helping these two massive stones set one on another, they were a foundation for a building. They could talk, but didn't move. Actually the lower stone was wobbly, and I was trying to re-secure it in its position so it would be stable again. These stones were huge though, they must have weighed at least 20 tons each. They were taller than me, and bigger than I could reach across. Dispite their immense size and weight I could still move the one I was working on. I was talking to the stones as I worked, but don't remember what was said.

No lucids. But I sure had a lot dreams! Five dreams/fragments in total. Which is probably a record for me. There seemed to be a cluster of them in the hour before waking up.

As usual I was woken up separately by my dog and both kids. Which was fine as I'd planned to just sleep and not worry about LD's or AP's. However I had my dream #1 early on (around midnight) about reality star I'm not fond of.

After waking up the first time I fell into dream #2 about a mother getting shot at a graduation ceremony and the ensuing panic among students and faculty. There was a brief discussion about the culprit. And I actually saw a DC's mouth move. - I woke up at the end. But was so bothered by the shooting I imagined a different scenario and ended up in dream #3.

Dream #3 took place in the same auditorium only this time it was full of younger kids. School was letting out and I had equipment to take to my car. It was raining and I had to walk down a slippery hill to get to my car. Kids were playing football with sanitation workers on the hill. Since my trunk was wet I carefully broke my equipment down and placed it in the back seat.

Dream #4 was a fragment about working out. I looked awesome!

Dream #5 was about a woman on Long Island letting her teenage son have an overnight visit with his girlfriend at an Island Resort on "Pia" Island. I looked at her like she had two heads (LOL)!

The last 3 dreams occurred in the last hour of sleep....like a dream chain. Seemed as if each of them lasted a long time. But they had to be just a few minutes long. Not sure why I couldn't remain lucid when the dreams kicked in. One minute I was imagining something and the next I was dreaming. I don't recall any transitions at all!

Recently I watched a film called Red Planet. It wasn't a terribly good film, but it seemed to influence this dream.

In my dream, I was on Mars with my family, doing some kind of expedition to reveal the cause of something (I don't know what).

...

I was in some kind of ancient temple. The sky was a red to yellow gradient, and I was climbing up to some temple entrance.

...

I finally entered the temple entrance, and I was walking down spiral stairs to some catacombs. There I confronted some alien warrior woman who wanted to conquer the planet (or something). She kidnapped some girl who was constantly trying to give me advice (not clear what kind of advice). I (somehow) beat the warrior woman. (or not?)

...

Seems like our mission on Mars was a success, so we decided to go home. But there was a catch:
We had to take off with the rocket in 30 minutes, because there is going to be a huge nuclear explosion that tears the planet apart.
So we started packing our stuff. I really wanted to save my computer, so I was packing it in, but my mother's friend (who also came with us) packed in his drying racks where I wanted to put the computer. So I was arguing with him, wasting valuable time. We all wanted to save as many possessions as possible.

Eventually, we wasted enough time that the 30 minutes have passed. I started wondering "Hmm... the explosion should come right about now... Maybe there won't be an explosion?", and I looked out the window and saw a huge red mushroom cloud rising. I said "O SHI-" as the mushroom cloud was rapidly expanding towards our location, and I could feel the immense heat burning my skin, and I could hear the roar of the explosion.

I suddenly woke up.

I am sorting out some stuff at the back of my car. There are 4 £50 notes and 1000CZ notes packed separately in some plastic. George walks in to the garage and I am afraid he saw it and will come back later to take it. I don't trust him. I think its money from some dodgy business.

I am working as a driver or delivery guy for some gangster boss. He promises that when I come to his camp, there are loads of pubs and clubs with many people most of which women! I go there and it is really so.

I was at my old school in Czech. There was a big paper box full of various medicines under the main stairs. I go through it in case there are some pills I could use for lucid dreaming. I came across one that is similar to piracetam, but I want to open it and read the instructions to make sure. Then the box disappears and I know its in the in my house in the attic. I go there and its hidden there with some old books. I go through it and my mom keep asking what am I doing there. I cannot find it.

I was running some crazy marathon. There were loads of people, but it went through some wrack yard or so. It reminded me of running man. Then we all got to a big room with little rooms on the sides on various levels. There were various mechanisms designed to kill us I believe. It was a bit like Indiana Johns. I tried to solve some of these mechanisms, but I don't know how to describe it here.

I was cycling with Skrbek through some country side... on a road between farms. Then at one point I got off my bike as I wanted to push it through some deep mud. But Skrbek points out at my rear wheel! Its all funny shaped, almost like a square and the back part of the bike as well! I am confused where it happened. I should have realised it was a dream here!

Someone in my family, probably my brother, has had twins. The babies are small and very fragile, weaker than babies usually are. My brother is holding one, covered in blankets. The mother comes into the room with the other one and gives is to me while she goes to do something. I sit on the edge of a bed holding the baby carefully, and cover it partially with a blanket.

I'm in the passenger seat of a car going down the highway. There's an unfamiliar guy driving, though neither of us seem to know how we got there. The headlights only seem to illuminate the passenger side, making it difficult for the driver to see where he's going. Somehow, I can see things from his side of the car and know what he's thinking. It's pretty strange seeing light on my side but not his, and it's pitch black outside the windshield. There's an exit coming up and I remember that it's the exit for the private school where we used to go. He changes lanes to get out of the left lane ahead of the exit. Things fast-forward (or I don't remember the exit ramp) but we pull into a parking space at a restaurant. We get out and go inside. I wonder how
far it is to this school and how late we're going to be for stopping. The place is dimly lit and we take a seat at a rough, unvarnished wooden table before I wake up.

There is this massive storm coming towards us, however we have just departed from cuba via boat, however cuba is now in a mirror image. I remember the power going out. It was really windy and rainy. The bigger city near us regained power temporarily, but our city didn't (didn't matter because we were on boat)

I woke up and went back into the dream. Somehow, our boat gets pulled into a war. Something happens and I join someone elses boat. It was a man and a woman, they were married and probably around 25-30 years old. I somehow get onto my own boat. There is explosions going everywhere. I manage to hit, and blow up a boat with a shot. Then my boat gets hit! I floor it, driving to shore. It's about to blow up. Another boat is about to pull in front of me, so I blow it up too. The married couple in their own war boat is beside me too, except theres is not on fire. I tell them something along the lines of "JUMP OUT BEFORE WE HIT THE BAY" We do, and my boat blows up almost as soon as I roll onto the small island. It's a big hotel, deserted. We go upstairs around the back. It's wooden and theres a railing across the back of the hotel, on about the second floor. It's almost pitch black outside. One of them turns on an overhanging light. I cycle through my fingers, as if they are inventory spaces in minecraft. On my ring finger, I feel a lantern. I couldn't quite tell, so I asked the man to see if it was or not. Then it dissapeared.

I woke up, again. I realized I was dreaming when I saw it fading, so I stayed completely still. I'm out of the dream, and behind my eyelids. My body somewhat tingles and I hear the roar of a really loud ocean. It stops and I do a reality check, and it fails.

Awake-Non-Lucid-Lucid

It started out with a familiar dream setting of mine: a classic zombie apocalypse, I was one of the only survivors, and was with a couple other DC's in a Chevy truck. Dusk was approaching, and the dream setting shifted to a parking lot. I started walking towards a car, but heard a noise behind me. I glanced backwards for a moment, then continued, only to find that the vehicle had disappeared

I glanced at my malformed hands, only to make the assumption that I was dreaming. Since I was displeased at the dream setting, I gently closed my eyes, pictured a different dream setting, and reopened them. To my surprise, I was in a beautiful Mountainous landscape, with snow peaked mountains in the distance. If you have ever seen the LOTR trilogy, you could make the comparison between this dream and the landscape of Rohan. I focused myself and took flight.

Several minutes after soaring through the clouds, I spotted a shadowy figure hovering over the mountains. We engaged in aerial combat, with fireballs and such flinging from our palms. I was hit hard by an explosion, but felt no pain as my charred body fell towards the ground. As I was descending, the dream began to fade, and the impact of my body hitting the mountainside ended the dream

Not sure what or who the "shadow form" was. Possibly my dark side? I don't know...

Last Nights Dreams

Dream 1

I'm on the phone to my Mom. I'm telling her that my Brother and Sister have lost the plot and I say "see I told you I was the black sheep didn't I" ((I do feel like I am in RL)) my Mom says "why are they being like this with you?" I say "I don't know!" and I'm crying hysterically.

Dream 2

Me and my hubby are shopping for stuff. We go into a wallpaper shop and there is a radiator in there the same as the one I have in my home in this dream. This radiator hangs higher on the wall. The radiator is made of silver metal and there are 3 poles the size of my arm going across and there is a slight gap between each pole. Attached to the sides are poles about the length of my leg. The second pole across has a hole in the middle as the design. We have to find wallpaper to cover these poles, and I like the wallpaper that is on the radiator in th shop, one is a blueish grey leopard print design and the other is a pinkish colour ((dream skip))
Me and my hubby are in the car in the car-park and are about to leave. The 2 owners are now on the car-park aswell and they are lifting weights . My hubby is in the drivers seat and is getting really angry because the key won't start the car, the car is just moving very slowly and nearly hits some other cars infront of us but stops before it does. I look at the gap that were in and think "how can we fit in this gap it's too slim, the car is too wide to fit in here!" I say to my hubby "shout them blokes and they'll help us" my hubby shouts them and then I wake-up.

Last Nights Dreams

Dream 1

I'm in a rescue Center for wild birds ((a part-time voluntary job of mine)) I'm looking at a pigeon and see that it's ok so I put it outside on the grass to have a tootle about. I now look outside again and see another pigeon but this one seems to have a problem with its wing. I go outside and pick it up easily, I examine it and find that it's wing is broken. I bandage the pigeon up and put it outside on the grass to have a wander about with the other one.

Dream 2

I'm in some place but I'm not sure where. I'm in a cubical and there are other cubicals around this place with people in them. There are misted curtains around all the cubicals. I decide I need the toilet so I open my curtain and walk through a darkish hallway. I walk past a few cubicals and then the hallway comes to an end. I see what looks like a sink at the end and I think to myself "that's weird but it MUST be a toilet" I go up to it and sit on it and realise that of course it's a toilet . I see the curtain next to me suddenly move and I jump with fright, I knock over the soap dish and the green soap that is in it and I think "shit!!!, I don't want to wake tham up" I go to pick up the soap dish and soap then realise that it's still in its place and it's not on the floor where it fell . I hear a woman in the cubical mumble something but I can't make out what. I now wake-up.

Last Nights Dream

In my dream I'm in a house and this house is mine ((different to my RL one)) I'm lying on my front on the floor doing something, there is another man with me but I'm not sure who. This man with me now says "look it's Joel" I look and it's Joel, the lead singer of ROOMIE ((a great group on youtube and a good facebook friend)) I'm flabbergasted and can't believe that he's here!, I hold his face with my hands and say "oh my god it's you...it's really you!!" I'm over the moon and we just sit in the front room and hug. Joel tells me all about what he's been doing and I feel so proud that he's here. I decide to go out the front with him and show him off to everyone . We are now standing on the front garden and everyone comes over to say hello. A big flashy red car now pulls up and Joel says "I have to go now but here's my mobile number" I take it and I'm really excited that he's given it to me. Joel kisses me goodbye and I hug him tight not wanting him to go. I say "will you come again?" and Joel says "yeah!, it'll be a usual thing now".

The dream started out with staying at an old best friends house. We haven't seen each other for years. I stayed in his trailer that got wrecked by a Hurricane, later on we were hanging out playing video games. He walked out and I notice him in his bedroom. I saw one of my second cousins with him.

I asked, What are you doing here?

She replied, I am staying here because your friends mom left
him because she couldn't handle the stress any more.

I said, Why did she left him?

She replied, Because hes too aggressive towards her, He needed to be discipline because of his bad behavior.

I said to her, Well don't you think this is over doing it a little? I don't see him any where.

So she ignored me and went off and suddenly disappeared. I walked to his room and asked if hes ok. Hes playing video games as usual.

He said to me, Why have you abandoned me?

I then replied to him, I haven't abandoned you, Your the one who abandoned me for some other guy because he had more games than you.

He said nothing after that. The dream got kind of intense so he got pissed and started coming after me, I than left the house and ran into the street when he was chasing me. He vanished out of a sudden and I recognized the entire place. It was my old street where I grew up on.

I walked down the road and I noticed another road. I turned that corner and began running, I noticed my feet did not had any shoes or socks on. And I felt the rocks running up against my feet hurting me, I felt the pain. The pain felt like as rocks were hitting my feet while I was running away. When I realized what place I was in.

So suddenly. I stopped and notice a pickup truck. It was blue and it had no driver. It saw me in the middle of the road and began to drive. Suddenly the speed on the truck kept on going faster than it was going, As if it was actually someone inside the truck trying to run me over, I pulled my self together and faced the truck from hitting me.

I pulled my body out of fear and I shoved my self on the ground so the truck wouldn't hit me on the road. I scraped my knee pretty hard and I could feel the injury in the dream, As if I couldn't get up. The truck tried to hit me again but it missed me by an inch, then I woke up again.

(FULLY NON LUCID)


I'm a centaur, with brown hair... I'm in a forrest, with other centaurs.

Around my neck, I have an amulet/necklace... Which is sitting on my bare chest.
... The 'necklace' bit that goes around myneck is a thin leather strip, just like the leather shoe-laces you can get
... The amulet on the end of the strap is a long and thin green emerald, with tapered ends.
The emerald is set in silver mounts, that are two snakes, one forming a clockwise and the other an anticlockwise helix around the stone. The two heads of the snakes touch at the top, to form the loop where the leather strap goes through.

.... Anyway, the forrest... Its sunny, so I can see shafts of sunlight coming through little clearings in the trees.
Something startles us!! We all gallop through the forrest. After a while, the trees start to thin out, and we exit the forrest, and come out into open grass land, we slow down to a trot as we're out in the open.

The grass is tall (about 2-3 foot deep), and is a carpet of green as far as the eye can see.. The grass sways gently in the breeze.

No notes again, and my entries will probably be like this for the next ten days or so because it's vacation time So here's just a general gist of what I dreamed about.

Dreams One and Two: My Little Pony dreams (well I did watch friendship is magic for 5 hours before bedtime, I totally saw this coming!) can't remember what the first one was about, but the second one it was Spike's Birthday

Dream Three: I woke up on a wooden table right in front of a wooded area. There was a wolf in the woods only about ten feet away, and I thought it was actually someone I knew (but I didn't know who it was?) in some sort of wolf form. I started to talk towards it, but it turns and started jogging slowly away. It turned a couple times to make sure I was following it. That's all I remember of that.

Dream Four: I was in some sort of store that had GIANT stuffed animals, I'm talking like 3 and 4 feet tall ones. But the only actual stuffed animals were MLP:FIM ponies. They also had three and four foot tall stuffed toys that looked like game systems and controllers. I thought it'd be pretty awesome to use them as floor cushions while playing video games. There was another lady there with her kids and we were talking about games our kids play and games we play. Then we sat down at a circular booth table in the store where some guys were playing some card game and we all ate and hung out, talking about more games. My kids were oddly quiet the whole time, that should have sparked a RC, but it didn't.

Dream Five: I was trying to hang a rope from the ceiling and swing on it. Only, my living room was open space outside. The ceiling looked right, only instead of walls it was held up by poles like a car port, and the floor was just the ground complete with broken acorns and walnuts and leaves and such. At one point I saw my daughters toy tea set half buried and wondered if she'd ever find all the pieces. The dream was actually pretty long because I'd swing back and forth once or twice then the rope would fall out of the ceiling and I'd have to stand on something to shove it back up between the ceiling tiles. And I did this many, many times. My dad was there at some point too I think, he wanted to know what I was doing and called me childish when I explained it to him, then told me I'd get hurt. I didn't care though, I was having fun.

Like I said it's vacation week for us (Not technically going anywhere until Thursday, but my husbands off work and we're spending as much family time as we can) so my journal entries will be vague recalls and not actual detailed retellings of the dreams to save time and I'm not taking notes... I'm sleeping in

Not one of my more interesting dreams, but I'll log it in here anyways.
Me and and large group of friends I know from school headed to this big event that was comparable to real life Olympics. The prize for winning it was being granted immortality. We had to go and practice that day, in order to prepare. Our group leader was some bald man who looked very familar to me, but I can't quite place who he was. I think he's this guy from church I met, like, 6 years ago. Haven't seen the guy since, so that's probably why I had trouble figuring out who he was at first.
The man (although I recognized him now, didn't know his name) ordered us to get dressed and ready. We all bought out this large hotel where we each got our own room, and I went in mine, the silence becoming almost creepy. I changed my clothes which were actually the same clothes I was wearing the previous day IRL and went outside to look at the city, feeling anxious about all these upcoming events. The city was large, and somewhat blurry in the distance. The sun wasn't out that day, it instead being very cloudy, so a gloomy hue colored the atmosphere, fitting my anxious emotions.
We practiced that day though I can't recall what we actually did and we got to go home to our families. I went to my grandma's, and my friend Aaron came over so we could play a videogame together. As we were playing, I told him about the upcoming 'Olympics', and told him I had to run for a very long time, and that I was extremely nervous.
That's all I remember. I do recall the dream continuing for a bit after I talked to Aaron, but I don't remember what happened.
