    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. 5/13/12-Getting very good in SP

      by , 05-14-2012 at 01:24 AM
      Today I tool an Nap and fell into SP.But I did not Lucid Dream.
    2. 2/20/12 Dodgeball.

      by , 05-14-2012 at 01:05 AM
      This one was rather odd, but very memorable. I was in a dodgeball game, wearing an old wool sweater, that had a zipper curiously placed on the right shoulder. I remember wearing it rarely in waking life, and it was always extremely scratchy and generally uncomfortable. So I was wearing this sweater, and I was in my school's gymnasium. There was a girl who is not in my class, playing a Harry Potter game on a laptop.

      One of my P.E. teachers is a huge pedo, and he made some sly comment to the girl who was playing the harry potter game. What that comment was I can't remember. My (female) P.E. teacher was in the boys locker room. I remember going in the locker room and finding some other sweater that wasn't mine on the bench. I also remember something about giving people little orbs of green energy and I was calling them "chromosomes". That's all I can remember.

    3. 2/11/12 (First of many kind of old dreams I have decided to submit)

      by , 05-14-2012 at 12:50 AM
      This one is fragmented, mainly because it's from a few months ago, but also because I never recalled the majority of the dream in the first place. I was in a neigborhood that doesn't exist, but seems to be a fusion of the neighborhood I live in now, and one that goes in kind of a circle around a small pond (in the dream the curve was very exaggerated, and the whole dream had a very curvy and off feel to it. Everything was warped far to the left, except my friend and I). So I was with someone I was friends with at the time, and we were just walking around the neighborhood. Something that I do a lot with my friends in waking life. The houses looked very big and expensive (and these houses reminded me of yet another neighborhood that a different friend lives in). In my dream journal, I mentioned something about that dream somehow being related to DreamViews, but I have no clue how. I don't remember such a thing. That's about it. Not very detailed, but I feel like entering some memorable old dreams will stimulate/improve my recall.
    4. Dream Character Awareness

      by , 05-13-2012 at 10:43 PM (Meanwhile In My Dreams...)
      My cousin and I are driving around a town just north of where my grandma lives. It's a fairly large town and were racing through the streets. Eventually we park at the mall but decide to just walk around, we start walking past the fairgrounds and the factory areas when a girl runs past us and toward some warehouse. I start chasing her but she jumps on top of the building. 'whoa I think I'm Dreaming' I do one reality check and try to fly, but I can't. The girl gets away, and when I turn around there is some guy standing there staring at me. Come with me he says and starts walking down the road. my cousin is nowhere to be seen and I can't shake the feeling that I'm dreaming. He leads me into some theatre but we don't leave the front concession room. He pulls out a suitcase and when he opens it up there is something on it that says telepathy. He explains to me that what is in the syringe will make us able to talk to each other telepathically. He sticks a needle in his arm, then mine. As we start talking without speaking I notice that he knows a lot about me. I become fully lucid suddenly and Know I am dreaming. The Unrealness of the whole situation makes me aware. I then ask the guy what it feels like to know your in someone else's dream but he starts to ignore me. I ask again and he looks at me and replies, "How does it feel to Know that this is not your real body and that your real body is laying in bed somewhere? Can you Feel your Body?" I then Start to feel my real body laying in a cool bed with my face on the down pillows. I wake Up in my bed at my grandmas house and have a strange feeling. I go and open the door and my grams on the other side and she scares me because I was not expecting it at all. She asks if I want breakfast and I say sure and follow her to the dining room. Hashbrowns Eggs, and Bacon are laid out and I sit across from my Gram and start to fill my plate. We eat in silence for awhile thinking. A strange thought crosses my mind and I think I should have stuck with doug so I could have caught a ride back home.That thought breaks the illusion and I realise I am dreaming. My gram is gone but I'm still siting in the dining room.I start to hear a noise and can't tell what it is. I suddenly recognise the noise and am sleeping on the couch, My dog freaking out wanting to go outside.
    5. Exploring a new world

      by , 05-13-2012 at 09:22 PM
      Dream 1:
      I'm at home und am thinking about going out (My brother also suggests it). So I'm thinking where I should go. There are some images of my old class mates in my head so I think I should some of my old class mates. My Cousins say that I can drive with them and I agree to that. Then my perspective shifts and I see some sort of map with cars driving on the map and suddenly I'm on a mountain. Now I have two images in my eyes, one where I'm on the mountain and one where I see the map with the cars. My friends are commenting on the fact that there are no people leaving the car. Then a nice firework starts and my friends and I are just enjoying the scene.

      Dream 2:
      I don't know how or where it begins, so I try to explain the scenario here:
      There is a different world beside our world. It's a 2D World with it's own people who speak a weird language. If you enter the world you transform in a 2D figure and the perspective shifts in a sort of side perspective. The world is also pixelated so it's a video-gamey world. The closest thing it resembles is Terraria. The dream is about my friend and me visiting the world and doing some research on it. We work for an organization who are reminding me of Men in Black. While we are researching the organization decides that the world is too dangerous and wants to destroy it (I don't know the conclusion for this dream).
      Somehow the concept of the world was more present than the dream itself.

      Dream 3 (aka biggest missed dream sign):
      I'm on a walk with my relatives, specifically on our way home. The house is already in sight so we are nearing the end of our walk and are talking about velocities. Then my uncle comes up with the idea to start a Lucid Dream-workshop (and no, I don't become lucid, nor I do a RC. God, why?). He begins and talks about the usual stuff (dream recall, etc.).
      //Man, this one infuriates me. How could I've been so blind, how?

      Dream 4:
      I'm at a exhibition with a wide arrange of topics. I seem to work for something here with my friend. Someone comes and presents us a new car. We try different things and we like it, but are going back to our stand. A bunch of girls come and want a stamp on their cards (I don't know what for). I try to stamp them, but for some reason it doesn't work. My friend does it for me and the girls are going into a garden tent. Suddenly the walls begin to glow and there are contours of greenish monster on the walls. The walls form a tunnel. We are going through the tunnel and while we are going the monster seem to protrude from the walls, but are not in our reaching range. At the end of the tunnel someone asks as, how we like his new invention and what we thought of it.

    6. Carrot and Anderj101, Talking to Carrot

      by , 05-13-2012 at 01:39 PM (Linkzelda's Dream Journal)
      05.13.2012
      Carrot and Anderj101 (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I took 6mg of Melatonin last night, set the alarm to wake me up around 3.5-4 hours of sleep.

      I had the alarm wake me up another time after that, and I typed up this dream in the mean time before going back to sleep to wait for the second one to ring.

      At first, it seems that I'm the only one in the backyard of a random house, but both my father and mother were there, they were just in different areas of the garden. It's really bright outside, but I don't necessarily feel too hot.

      There's this huge tree stump that I'm walking on, and I'm wondering when we're going to get out of this place. There's a random female dream character walking back and forth on the other side of the gate, which was kind of weird for me. I believe she had dark brown hair,but didn't get to see her face sadly.

      The place has fairly high grass, almost reaching to the top of your ankles. The dream shifts to where I'm on top of some really green hill with someone who probably is my father. He's wearing shades, and we're looking over at some people below.

      It's still a bit bright outside in the dream, and the area almost looks the same as the place near my apartment, except that there's a really huge peak somewhere in the middle this time. Some people look familiar, one person on the bottom looks like Anderj101, and I don't know what they're doing, but it looks like they're waiting for something to happen in the mean time.

      I told my father that these are people I know on the forums...

      Shit....are you kidding me? He wouldn't even be the last person I would tell ever about this forum, but I said it without feeling hesitant, so this is all the work of my sporadic non-lucid state of mind. He didn't really take what I said too seriously, probably to respect my own business.

      Then the dream shifts a bit to where I see this girl that looks like Ashley M--almost said her name
      (for personal reference: girl with light brown hair at A&M)....Anyway, Ashley wanted to get some guys to help her carry a mattress I'm assuming. It looks an awful lot like mine, dark blue, and having a gray bottom.

      I decide to randomly join in with carrying the mattress. It wasn't too heavy, and it was pretty small for a mattress, so I don't know why she would need 4 guys to carry it. Anyway, me and 3 other random guys carry the mattress while moving forward in a completely different environment.

      It seems like the setting is early morning, or early evening with the sun fairly close from being out of sight. The guys helping me carry the mattress, one by one, start to take their hands off it, and I'm still holding it awkwardly.

      It takes me a while to realize this, and then I tell and yell at time a bit, not too loud, just out of surprise. One I believe started to laugh a little bit, but I didn't see their faces, just the back of their heads.

      They started to run, and I started to run as well. It takes me a while to be cognizant that I'm still holding on to the mattress, and then I put it on the top of my head, and started dashing for those guys for being silly and not helping me out.

      I realized that they were basically useless, and I could take care of holding it myself. I believe I dropped the mattress at some point in this moment of running.


      Then, another dream shift, I'm in a fairly busy area, and most of the dream characters are Asian.


      (Just using this to remember how rushed the dream felt at this point)

      I didn't notice this yet, but I was holding my pillow on my left hand, and running like crazy looking for Carrot (DV member). Dodging people and trying not to cause too much of a scene, I finally see Carrot running as well.

      I don't know exactly why she's running, but as I'm running, I notice something barking, and I turn my face to the left, while still running, and see a black and brown dog.



      It had a mix of a German Shepherd, and the face of The Sulimov Dog.
      Basically, a hybrid between Lapponian Herders and Turkmen golden jackals

      It didn't seem to be after me, but rather, a companion? I ignore it, unfortunately, since it was a brief moment and was too concentrated on why Carrot is running so quickly.

      I take advantage of my environment with a fair amount of people walking in a city by blending in with the crowd, still maintaining a steady run after her. I see Carrot finally decides to take a break and walk a bit, and she turns to her left to see if whoever is chasing her is gone.

      She looks relaxed, and then turns her head back in front to walk. I come in casually, like nothing didn't even happen, and told her while having my hand on her left shoulder about something related to me and her having a party before I have to leave and go back home.

      The dream shifts to where I'm sitting down with a blonde female to the right of me at a restaurant, but I only recognized her hair with peripheral vision, and I didn't seem too interested in the table I'm sitting next to her.

      The reason being was that I was seeing that the dream was going to fade a little bit, and it sucks that I didn't get to see the face of the blonde to the right of me.....damn it lol, dream signs of blondes are getting a lot more frequent now.

      And I'm not even picking out random blondes, she was RIGHT there next to me, sipping on some kind of beverage. I believe she was also wearing a strapless Khaki dress, but it looked a little bit lighter in material, so that's the best thing I can associate with it, not really keen on the fashion stuff for women.



      And I noticed that the table cloth had red and white squares, but I didn't pay too much attention to that.



      I believe I was talking to someone in front of me, and even though the speech was diluted a bit, signaling a dream fading or something of the sort, I could tell that I didn't really want to engage in the conversation in the first place.



      The interesting part of this dream is that as I typed it up in a Dream Journal program, I was looking for breeds of police dogs on Wikipedia, and the Sulimov Dog was the BEST match for the face of the dog that I saw in the dream.

      And it's a Russian dog too (I think?), seems either it came to light in the dream because I read an entry of Sinoblak's where she met Eva and her playing Russian music (Eva that is), or it came as a coincidence.

      I don't think that's mere coincidence, homologous association at least, but not coincidence....because my mind likes to associate a few things late at night rather than during the day, sometimes.

      And another interesting thing was me holding a pillow. I never held a pillow before in my dreams....ever, at least, all the ones that I recalled. I wonder if it's because I watched the commentary and walk-through of "Catherine" for the XBOX-360/PS3 on YouTube.

      Talking to Carrot (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I decided I should sleep for 1-2 hours, I didn't really expect a lot to happen in that time, but it was good practicing to listening for the alarm though.

      When the alarm started to ring, I kept my body still, and dozed off to sleep was I was trying to recall the dream I had before it woke me up.

      All I remember is that I'm talking to Carrot, and probably someone else as well.

    7. Internet trouble!

      by , 05-13-2012 at 12:13 PM
      My parents went on vacation and left me home for a few days. In that time I did allot of internet research. I looked up several things most likely unsuited for a teenager. Why I cared to do so i have yet to figure out.

      My parents came home and I did my usual my parents are home routine. I hid in my room to reduce the amount of interaction as much as possible. After Awhile my father called me and was holding a thick packet of information on what I looked up.

      On that list, where several torture devices and other violent things. I looked through it and was relieved he didn't see anything to awkward. I explained that I wanted info on those items and dad didn't take to well with it. The dream ends there.



      This dream might show that i have a need to clear my thoughts of hatred and anger and other violent things.

    8. 5-13-12

      by , 05-13-2012 at 12:11 PM
      I didn't bother trying to remember my dreams very well last night as I was actually able to sleep and didn't have insomnia (hooray for 10 hours of sleep! I needed it!) I was kind of scared that if I moved around too much I'd end up waking myself up too much and the insomnia would strike. this entry will probably be short compared to my usual!

      Dream One: The dream starts off with me in the office of the Church I used to be a secretary for about 6 years ago. I decide I need to hurry up and leave and get to my other job, at Dominos (also worked there 6 years ago at the same time) because I'm expecting someone who controls the weather to make it rain. I walk to Dominos, and I see my apartment (I lived in 3 years ago) is right behind Dominos. I'm pretty happy it's so close because I need to change before work. I go change, but then instead of going to Dominos, I go to the park for a city wide story time!

      Dream Two: I'm in a shop where they sell clothes for Asian Ball Jointed Dolls. I'm thinking that I am one of the dress makers. (I can sew in waking life, but only simple things, not tiny doll clothes!) Then suddenly the dream shifts and I'm a party planner and I'm planning a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese, but I can't figure out where chuck e cheese is.

      Dream Three (Fragment):
      Spoiler for lady problems:


      Dream Four: I'm at Target with my husband, wandering through the little girls clothes. I'm so excited to see a Pinkalicious Dress in Pink and Yellow, and pink Pinkalicious shoes. My daughter LOVES Pinkalicious. I'm trying to find them in her size when my buddy B comes up to us to say hey. I'm surprised he's there because I thought he worked at Walmart, but he tells me he switched to Target because they have cooler customers. Then B tells me he has George Clooney's phone number now because he bought a sofa from them and B had to confirm the delivery. Then we leave and go to visit the parents of one of my exboyfriends. They still call and check on me once a year or so and talk to me when they see me in stores, so it's only slightly odd, lol. My Ex's mom tells me I look beautiful that day, and I thank her and find I'm hoping one of my other exes shows up to see how hot I look and kick himself in the butt. Dream logic Then, the best part of the dream, My ex's parents start asking me what is this lucid dreaming I'm posting about on facebook, it's not drugs or something is it? And I start explaining to them that there are no drugs involved, it's just controlling your dreams. I wake up and want to kick myself for not realizing that I was dreaming at the time! It wouldn't have done me much good since I woke up right afterwards, but even if for only a few seconds would have been awesome. I really need to reality check more when thinking about dreams and being lucid!

    9. 5/13/12 | Good Recall

      by , 05-13-2012 at 11:07 AM
      This time I did a WBTB WILD, failed but was ok in the end.
      4 1/2 hrs of sleep/Milk/Bathroom/Noise Meditation


      1. I was in a big room, sort of like a cave, and by taking a weird pill I transitioned into a LD like phase, but not really. I could fly and do all the LD stuff but I was not LDing. Next I asked a friend Noah if he knew anything about LDing and he said "I don't know".

      2. I was late for school even though I was already there.. I was worried and nervous. Some kid in my science class was playing a song on his/her's laptop. And I recall it being about Madonna wearing a condom.. Next I ran to the lunch room to get some food, and there was a lot of people there. There were dvds on everybody's seats it was weird, their was also a little packet of cereal on peoples seats too. I then ran out of the cafeteria after eating my food and took my DVD. Next I teleported and somebody was getting arrows shot through their head.

      3. I got caught writing in my DJ and some boring kid named Michael from my school came and stomped on it after he through it on the ground. (Weird thing is I got caught writing in it today and told my mom it was my science homework, she thinks I'm doing drugs or something)

      4. I was in a huge parking lot and I knew I was dreaming. I made the dream see through my waking like eyes and it worked, I had HD vision and I told my friends from my school bus I was dreaming, and I think one of them said "aw cool". Next I ran up some stairs for no reason, I guess I was excited. After that I ran back downstairs and tried to summon a girl, it failed the first 3 times but in the end I summoned 2 of the same girls but they were the wrong ones.. So I was like 'meh' you guys take these 2 I'll summon another one. I ended up waking up because I closed my eyes, maybe it was a FA but I'm not sure so I won't say it was.

      5. I was in BF3 and I found a little glitch where it allowed me to move a vase and climb to the top of the building and I could snipe people. I got up but I didn't kill anyone as my gun was not a sniper.

      6. I was in a different game, but similar to BF3. My team had to spray the other team with water until the time is up. My team won and I gave my teammate a high 5.

      7.My mom said "Do you hear your dad? You shouldn't have went downstairs" And I said "I only got milk"

    10. A Visit To The Park Of My Childhood Dreams

      by , 05-13-2012 at 11:03 AM (Inside My Eyes)
      I was with some people I've ever seen in my life that my family was in the dream, we were in an amusement park in Belgium at night. The part of the park that we were was full of poor houses of wood, resembled to Hogsmeade, a member of my family tried to climb one of the houses because it was an attraction and was closed, but when he tried to climb it came out backwards by a shock.

      I stopped to think how this amusement park was familiar, I reminded it of several of my dream. So I was lucid, but when I became lucid I woke up, I tried to sleep again to return to the dream.
      I was walking down a road to leave the park at night, until I decided to go back. I went to the control room and there was some guys from my school, they were playing Warcraft 3 on their laptops.

    13. College Cafeteria

      by , 05-13-2012 at 09:03 AM
      I was back in my college days in my dormitory. It was Sy-Phi hall. That was pretty cool, some of the dream is vague but I'm going from my room to the food court. I'm walking down the side stairs, there was a set of stairs on the opposite side of the entrance room as well. The door opposite the entrance is the entry to the food court. I head in. As I'm wandering around with my tray gathering food, I notice it is much larger than in real life, like 10 times bigger. Most of it is unusually dark as well, the lighting isn't right. I hit three different food buffet areas, and my plate is piled high. I'm wondering how I'm going to eat this all. Now I'm looking for a place to sit, most of the tables are full, but I see many DCs who look familiar. I even see Ann walk past me, an old not-girlfriend. I keep wandering a bit, ending up in the back corner to the right where it seems a bit dark. I can't believe how many people are in here, but I grab an empty chair at a round table where there are only 3 DCs at. I ate about a third of the food on my plate, mainly the pasta and salad. They had some really good looking chocolate desserts there, and although I got one, I wanted to sample some more. I should have made a RC here because of the dark (and because of Ann), but failed. I did make a choice to lift my glasses, and found out why the room seemed so dark, I had sunglasses on!

      A scene change interrupted my eating, although I was still walking around with my tray. The room disappeared and I was outside now, although some tables still lingered. Many displaced DCs were heading off somewhere now. I found another place to sit and was going to eat some more, but something was happening where I had to get up again. Leaving my tray there, I made my way over to gate in a fence. It had chains on it but they were loose and people could get through. This one gal caught my eye, she was pretty and had wide hips. I thought she wasn't going to be able to squeeze through the narrow gate, but she was able to.

      Although I didn't go fully lucid, I grabed her and started stretching her hips so that they were even wider. I was manipulating the body of a DC in my dream. Her hips were over two feet wide now and I figured that was about as far as they could go. I had the feeling she liked what I was doing to her, even though I don't remember if she said anything to me yet. It felt sexual in nature, what I was doing to her by stretching her body. It felt natural to continue, so I put my hand down her pants and felt her up. At this time, I definately remember her moaning with pleasure.

    14. Weird HIV disease/Failing 3 reality checks

      by , 05-13-2012 at 08:38 AM
      I was on my classroom with my friends and suddenly I have the virus HIV but an extremely weird one that I could spread the disease with just a cough or a kiss. I saw a pretty girl nearby and I told her that so I kissed her but she didn't say anything. After that I found out that the disease is curable, there was a guy in our city that treats it so I yelled to everyone in class that we had to go, and I waited for a moment outside. When I waited I thought "This is really weird" and I did a reality check, the finger through palm one. But it didn't worked. Still I was thinking the same and stared for a while at my hand to find it change but all I saw were my 5 fingers and everything normal. Then the infected people were ready so we advanced. We went down the stairs (the classroom was on the third floor) and I still didn't give up trying reality checks so I snapped my fingers and even though I heard that the sound was too low I said to myself that it was maybe because people were talking very loudly. There was a lot of people in the stairs and I started to look carefully at them. I saw that some of the faces were repeated but I said "It's impossible that they are upstairs if they are right next to me"... I tried all that but I didn't become lucid.

      Then we headed to the parking and I saw that a friend (who was upstairs) wanted to start his car. I told him if he could take us and we got in however the car was already full and it couldn't start so we got out and he went in his red small car. Then one of my infected friends saw a bus and he ran towards it and we got in. I was going to say the driver that I didn't have money to pay him but ... there was no driver, so I went straight to sit. Then I saw the bus advance and the driver's sit started to make a lot of noises. I knew it was a ghost but anyways I could't pay him. He continued making a lot of noises (because he couldn't talk) so I went there and told him that I had few coins but they weren't enough so I gave them to him. After he takes them he transforms into a man, he thanks me and gets out of the bus. I go to sit, but the bus wasn't advancing and at that moment I thought "It was better if I didn't pay him". When I got out of the bus I woke up.

      I just had an extremely unsettling dream. I was put in a mental hospital [ considering I do have depression issues irl ] and we were put in groups of ten kids. The whole hospital just seemed like a big elementary / middle school.. our 'teacher' was a huge bitch.
      I remember my good friend August was there too, strangely.
      We were on our way to go to a pool, I guess, and me and a friend I had made there trailed behind. Weirdly, the 'friend' was someone I used to hang out with as a kid. Her name was Jordan. Anyway, Jordan and I were talking, and she persuaded me into a plan. A plan to kill the teacher and escape this hell hole.
      We went through with it, and she killed one of the other 'students'. We ran outside with August and another unknown male and I saw my mother. another kid ran out and yelled at us, telling us that the camera's were on, we're gonna go to jail. I wasn't taking part in killing them so I figured I'd be okay, but Jordan decided it was best to kill ourselves instead of get charges pressed...she pointed the gun at herself and killed herself. Then August took the gun and pointed it to me and said something along the lines of "It's for the best, Hayley, we'll miss you".
      I tried to tell him I'd take the charges and he wouldn't listen. I waved goodbye to my mother and turned around, putting my hands up and closing my eyes. I was shot and I fell to the ground.
      The most unsettling part was that I could feel myself being sucked out of my body. Leaving it. I could fly now. I remember also praying and apologizing to God [ even though I don't hold a religion and I was previously a Satanist for good reasons ]. I remember looking at my mom and she didn't cry.
      I kissed her on her forehead and thats when she started crying, even though she couldn't see me. I guess my dog, Sasha was there too, and she was whimpering and staring at me and trying to lick me and I pet her and kissed her forehead too. then I woke up crying and my hands were dead cold [ and my hands are NEVER cold ].
      I have no idea why I had that dream. ):
