non-lucid

Tonight I woke up because my wife moved and talked in her sleep. It was only two in the morning. Didn't wake up at four.

I'm at a cabin somewhere abroad. It's next to a large lake. I have the feeling we live there now. Someone asks what the weather is like around there and I say it rains a lot. It's raining heavily and there are large waves at the lake, a real storm. I don't feel a wind, though. Two people, relatives of mine, get out of the water. "That was close," one of them says. They go to a sauna and I go heat it up. They get there first and apparently know how to heat it.

[COLOR="#483d8b"]Me and my brother J were in some neighborhood I was unfamiliar with. We were walking on a wide road, until I spotted a swingset (..really now?). On one of the swings there was a guitar, it was made of some dark wood and it had only max 8 frets. We sat down there and I tried to play some songs, but I couldn't remember all the chords xD. The guitar sounded nice, the tuning was perfect.[/COLOR]

In this dream it was morning and I was getting ready for school. My mom was mad for no aperent reason but she said to take the dogs to the windmill. I don't know a windmill in my town.. but we went there in my dad's car and we brought all the dogs. they ran around and played then we had to gather them back up. But one of my dogs was a baby fox... It was really cute but we took it too but before we left to go home i was giving it a belly pet then my alarm clock went off

Jess had her baby and I wanted to give her a blanket, and I figured since I was in town I might has well get my pillow and blanket lining fixed. I told jess I was going to get my blanket fixed and then I’d be over. She was fine with it, so I brought my blanket and pillow to the sewing shop. They looked at it and grabbed the pillow, I watched the sewing machine do all the work. When it was done I liked what I saw. Then they started on the blanket, it took a lot longer. I was very happy with the finished result. I was off to give jess the blanket.-End Dream-

Second Dream-

I had all my homework done and I was off to college. I got to my English class and the classroom was rearranged. Some of the table and chairs were on the ceiling and some were turned away from the front of the class. I thought it was a little weird and wondered why they set the room up like this; it will make it harder to learn. The teacher was talking, but I couldn’t understand her and I was spacing off here and there. She asked me something, but I didn’t hear her. She asked me again and I told her I couldn’t understand her, she got mad at me so I handed her one of my essays. That made her happy. Then she asked me another question and I still had no idea what she said so I just handed her another essay, then she became extremely happy. Everything stared to become blurry my eyes started to hurt, I couldn’t see. Everything started to darken and just before I blacked out, I fell to the floor. –End Dream-

Thoughts-

my dreams are becoming more colorful and vibrant, i am remembering more and i'm starting to notice weird things. BOOYAH!

Monday April 23, 12. 12:30pm- 5:30am

My dream faded in and I was sitting in my car talking to my friend Chris. She was telling me about a deal she made with a friend and she wanted my help. Chris is one of my best friends, so of course I said yes. She told me that we had to sleep overnight by the building, in the car to avoid suspicion. So we did, when I woke up I remembered a dream, I grabbed my dream journal and pages fell out of it. I grabbed all the pages and put them back in order, and then I flipped to a blank page and wrote the dream down. By that time Chris woke up and told me it was time. We crept into the building, we were looking for some amazing thing, Chris instructed me that when we find it, it must be put in a taco shell to avoid suspicion. As I looked around I noticed I was in a old fast food joint. There was a big stove, fryers, sandwich making station. There were cobwebs everywhere and it was so dusty and dark. I found this black fuzzy thing. That was it, I grabbed it and put it in the taco. I crept back out to the car, put the taco in it and tried to start my car. My car wouldn’t start! I got out and looked around, my lights have been on all night. I ran back in and told Chris and she said, “no big deal, we can find someone to jump us.” So much for being secretive. We walked outside and a car started turning into the parking lot. I was scared, I didn’t want to get caught. Chris walked up to the car, started to talk and I woke up.-End Dream-

Thoughts- this dream was more detailed than the rest. I told Chris this dream and she laughed so hard, i love it!

In the first dream, I was at some house having a party with friends/family. We started playing some sort of game, but I can't really remember.
One dream was about being at a table with a black family. In this dream it was taking me forever to ask for what I wanted and I was having a hard time.
In the third dream, I kept trying to go somewhere, I think to catch a train, but I couldn't get to it.

My ex-girlfriend is visiting me from whatever state she lived in (irl, the girl lives in the same city as me and she has never been my girlfriend.) We started going back out, I leave to do something at some point, there's this sort of LoL sub-dream that's going on alongside this, and when I get back, she's lost because she went out to help with a search party (derp)
I start getting ready to go search for her, but my dad doesn't seem too happy about it.

I remember something about a movie store and Toys R Us as well.

I had this dream when I was about 5. I was in my house. I walked into a room and there was a Macintosh computer on a desk. As I approached it, a message box came up with a picture of a bomb, accompanied by a female robotic voice speaking in a foreign language. I ran.

The rest of the dream is a complete blur.

Night of April 24

3:13- A man was upset because the girl he liked couldn't visit him or something. Anyway, so spirits take those who come close to the house to the man. Anastasia and I went to Dollar General at some point to get somethin and he asked for us. He tried to get Poirot too. Anyway, at some point we rode a flying bison. I want to say I woke up before much else could happen. Not bad in retrospect. There's still 3 more hours.

6:18- I and some other people were in the old science room. But there were trees and microwaves and the room was too big. We cooked love cats because they were mean. Anastasia turned a blind eye to it. Some other people showed up and ran around in the trees. We were all muddy, dirty, ratty and the like.

New Orleans kidnapped white room hall way kiss girl knew frequency eat love room return peace police play sweet tooth ice-cream snow

Had to make notes before leaving for school. Anyway, we were at that fountain at New Orleans in front of the Aquarium. We were walking along just fine. But then the scene changed. I was halfway in a small room. My middle hit the floor and my lower half was gone. Some people had kidnapped me. Then I was in a hall outside that room. Nurses were lined up in the hallway, restraining different looking patients as they were all mirrors. A blonde who looked like Hohenheim, but younger, kissed one of them. I didn't see it but I knew he had and I knew he was my brother somehow.
The monsters ran down the white hallway but it was empty now. They looked rotten but they were stumbling quickly. They ran for a specific room for some reason. The smaller allowed the other to kill him and eat him because the smaller ones loved the bigger ones. The flesh was eaten off their bones like one might eat a chicken leg. I saw it as if I were the one eating this white flesh with green skin. But only for a moment.

In a car with my kidnappers, one I remember as being a blonde with stubble, we were spying on this house but so were the police with the same frequency. It was confusing. It was a small red car and there were black, circular microphone things. There were two of them but I only remember the one. Finally Anastasia and some others stepped out of the old house and onto the brown wooden porch. They ushered us all to be happy and come inside. Problem aside, we did. I lay on a stage with Sweet Tooth, both of us presumed dead. My arms were hidden beneath my brown silk shirt. Ana was beside us, trying not to smile. It was fun.
Later, still at the stage but the play was over. I looked in a fridge for snow. But I didnt find any. A little girl showed Ana and I something like foam but it was spongy to touch and creamy and sweet like ice-cream. It was delicious.*
I dreamt Dad woke us up. He didn't. I know because soon the alarm went off. That's all.

Last night I dreamed something about a giant monster.

Then it morphed into me putting on armor, turning into a tree, and agreeing to step into the arena with a friend of mine. We got to the gate of the arena where we were supposed to enter, and it was a gigantic slide. We were going to PvP...in a playground. We're bad like that.

Last night saw me testing out the Dreamz Ipod app for the first time which monitors your movements and plays an audio signal when it senses that you are in REM sleep. Although I did not attain lucidity from this, I found myself laying in bed in two out of my three remembered dreams. I believe that this oddity alongside my excellent recall from last night is result of the heightened awareness of having to sleep with my Ipod underneath the sheets. It should be interesting to test this further over the upcoming nights.

Dream 1

I was waiting outside one of my seminar classrooms and could hear my lecturer (S.M) playing a guitar and singing in a band to what sounded like a sizeable audience who were cheering them on. The first of the songs played was very Hendrix-esque and had a great solo played by S.M whereas the second was 'If' by Pink Floyd. My classmates seemed somewhat irritated at having to wait for this performance to finish before we were able to enter the room although I was very much enjoying it even if for some reason I was listening from a giant bed in the corridor, wearing only my boxers. I think I felt some sense of shame at my state of undress and remember dressing myself underneath the covers.

Dream 2
Again this dream took place with me lying in bed but this time in the middle of what I believe was some kind of airport. With some of my university classmates, although I only remember E.B and J.H. We were possibly on our way to America or somewhere but our flight was cancelled and we were looking for a way back home.

Dream 3
I seemed to be some kind of character in some bizarre take on the Game of Thrones Universe in which I had to execute a talking tomato with an axe. I remember feeling genuinely disgusted with myself after carrying out this "killing".

I was in a strange version of New York, possibly on holiday or living there with L. and J. We were walking around when we came to a large patch of land with a play-park erected on it. The play equipment was seemingly designed for adults as it was all rather high-up and I had to jump to reach the pull-up bars and rope swings. I remember feeling anxiety over L's rather vigorous use of a trampoline, believing it liable to break at any moment!

Dream One (Fragment): I'm shopping at what seems like a yard sale under a huge tent. The drama club is hosting it, and apparently all my friends made their own out of high school drama club when we graduated, and just didn't tell me about it. Or maybe they told me and I didn't join because I had too much other stuff to do, the dream never really specified. I want to buy from them and help them out, but at the same time I feel so uncomfortable. I haven't seen or talked to most of them in seven years. I constantly get that deer in the headlights feeling when I see someone I haven't spoken to in a while, hoping they won't be mad that I don't have time to hang out anymore. I don't remember much from this dream though as I didn't care much to take notes. I can remember talking to my friend B, who was always dating older guys and getting in trouble for doing raunchy things at school. I also remember seeing a blond guy smiling at me who I didn't remember being in Drama Club, and thinking to myself that I should talk to him, but I was already so stressed by seeing all these people from forever ago that I don't want to make myself more uncomfortable and go over there. Looking back, it could have been K and I should have done it! lol My friend A comes in, and I think she whisks me out of the tent where I'm more comfortable but I don't remember where we went or what we did after that.

Dream Two (Fragment): I'm in an old building. someone's showing me the walls of the building, tell him that hundreds of years ago the walls were covered in a beautiful mural, and that about two hundred years ago someone painted over them with white paint during the remodeling. They were showing me where the old paint is showing through in some places. Then they somehow made the old paint pop all the way through, so I could see the mural. They were saying they wanted to restore the mural to it's former glory or something. The picture kind of reminded me of the last supper, only it was a very simple version... like pre-renaissance I guess... where instead of having life like people they had egg shaped heads with gold halos around them and no shadowing/details.

Dream Three (False Awakening): I dreamed that the phone rang. I woke up in the house I currently live in, and was going to just let it keep ringing because I never wake up to answer the phone, I let the answering machine get it. When the answering machine picks up, my uncle is leaving a message that they have decided to replace my couins' wii, and they're asking how to sync the controllers. I get up and go into the kitchen, grab the phone, and tell him I'm sorry I was asleep and to just give me a second to look at my Wii because I can't remember off the top of my head how to do it. Few things are important enough to get me out of bed, but video games fall in that category It didn't occur to me at the time that my cousins would be in school at that time of morning -_- I checked the wii, and told my uncle where the sync buttons were, but it turns out, he's not having trouble syncing the wii motes, the game is asking him to push the menu button and he doesn't know where the menu button is. I explain to him that the "home menu" button is shaped like a house, and it's all good, he's got his problem solved! Before he hangs up I ask him what game they're going to be playing, because if it's Mario Kart I can wake my kids up and let them all play online together. He tells me it's a Nartuo game they got in their happy meals. I'm thinking, "No way! They're putting wii games in happy meals now?! What fast food place?" My uncle doesn't remember because he was at work when my aunt took them, so I decide to check online. I say good bye, start up my computer and start looking. I had been to Mcdonalds yesterday and they had Green Lantern and Squinkees toys, so I knew it wasn't them. I checked Burger King first b/c they had those Kinectimals toys for the Xbox the year before last. Not them. I remember that Sonic toys are usually Sonic Tater Tot themed, so I don't bother looking them up. I'm thinking I should check Taco Bell first, because they had My Sims for the computer a couple years back. Then I think I should check chicfilla because they had sports computer games a couple months ago. I write these two down so I won't forget, then start to look them up. I wake up for real before the first page can load, and I'm really confused. I really thought I had gotten up and done all this, and could not figure out how I got back in bed.

I had more dreams than this, but I just didn't feel like waking up and taking notes. I know I need to get this apathy under control because if I don't I'm going to lose my recall. Hopefully things in waking life will calm down enough to give me time to care about my dream life, lol.

Overall, the dream was pretty clear and, well, random as hell.

It was about two siblings: a teenage boy and his little sister who was probably around six years old. I was not actually in the dream myself, but I kept switching perspectives (or bodies?) between the two characters.

The siblings were on a boating dock and were standing on an oddly rounded deck. It made a sort of "pool," but it was not closed off to the rest of the ocean. My aunt told the siblings about a red sea creature that used to appear there every now and then. The siblings decide to go on with their plans to swim in the "pool," assuming the story was just an urban legend. After a while of playing with her brother, the little girl dives down to see what was at the bottom. Somehow, she gets stuck down there and starts to drown. Her brother becomes concerned and dives after her, only to see her being carried to the surface by the red sea creature, which was only seen as a big red and pink blur. The girl could see a woman's arms were holding onto her.

Both kids were getting out of the water, but the sea creature had disappeared as quickly as it/she appeared. The boy was helping his sister to get out, but was surprised to find that his sister had a fish tail and had been turned into a mermaid! The girl, being the little kid she was, thought this was awesome. After getting over the shock, her brother laughed and stayed with her to let her swim more. Soon though, a man caught sight of the mermaid child and immediately wanted to capture her (and implied he would hurt "it"). He told others and formed a group of people who were after the girl. When they made their intentions clear to the brother, he grabbed his sister and started running from them. When they found a hiding place for a few moments to catch their breath, they overheard two of the lead men saying that if she stayed in the water long enough, she'd keep her powers, grow gills, and be able to breathe both air and under water forever; but if she stayed out of water in her human form too long, she'd become a human for good. Obviously, they wanted a mermaid so they had to hurry before she was out of the water too long. They caught sight of the brother who was making his way toward a truck. For whatever reason, his sister (who was in a temporary human form from being out of water) was riding on top of the truck while the brother speedily drove away. The girl could see the men in another truck coming after them.

The two then reached some sort of big hotel, which they tried to hide in. Somehow, the group chasing them had gotten everyone in on it, letting everyone think that she was this horrible thing that was on the loose and was dangerous/ evil/ a disgrace. Running again, the two went down different halls to try to escape (which had weird triangular mirrors every once & a while randomly on the walls). They came to a dead end, where the whole group of men were waiting to ambush them. One of them purposefully got the girl wet with a bucket of water, which made her tail grow back. They had backed her into a corner and she looked terrified, but her brother somehow got past the group, grabbed her up before they did, and sprinted out of there. He eventually made it back to the same "pool" type thing they started at and the group chasing them was nowhere to be found. They tried to find the mysterious red sea creature again, but only thought they might have caught a glimpse.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

(...) Some dream with my mom and my dad and at a certain point my mom starts talking about lucid dreams. She said she had read some article which made her feel that maybe she actually has lucid dreams and simply isn't aware of it. I told her it's possible not to remember them on waking up, but that when we are having them, we know for sure. That's when I realized we were dreaming right there. So I told her we were dreaming and it became a shared lucid dream (not confirmed). Then I gave her a briefing about lucid dreams, what things tend to make us loose lucidity, etc. Then we went further, discussing the content of the dream itself. It was clearly my dream, the place was one of my recurrent dream scenarios and I showed her around, explaining the different variations that the scenario sometimes have.
She asked what was that place and I said I honestly don't know. It's some building I don't remember ever having seen in RL, but which became the scenario for some of the most opressive dreams I ever had.
It's a modern building with infinite floors above and under ground level, with crossed stairways in different directions and no doors to the outside. I explained to her how I overcame the opression of these dreams and now, this recurrent dream is no longer a nightmare, but just some scenario I can dispose of, like any other.
