non-lucid

I had the tetris effect occur with some guitars. I found one that I felt was perfect.

We released these balloons.

There was a sense of betrayal I think.

My uncle gave me the last of his tomato soup.

I haven't been sleeping too well lately, so I haven't been waking up feeling rested.

Orange Towel, Rain and Puddles, DV newcomer (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Orange Towel

I believe I'm going back to my apartment or something, seeing as I'm heading towards the clock tower with my bicycle. The bicycle I'm riding is completely different from the one in waking life.

It's black, and it has this weird support on the back of the seat that allows you to hang things behind it, and I think there was a black metal mesh kind of looking basket in the front to put stuff in. I was busy being conscious of an orange towel (it was either yellow or orange).

The reason why I was worried about it was because I didn't want it to fall down while I'm taking a turn to the right from an intersection, and because I put it at the back of the bicycle that had the part to hang things, so looking back once in a while was inevitable.

I decided I should just hold part of the towel with my right hand, and continue riding a long.

I think while I was waiting for the green light for our side to turn out, there's this mini-scene of some program showing on the screen, and it basically helps with password security. The person speaking said that you have to type as many words as possible, while trying to remember the actual password.

(For example, if your password was "LuLu," you would type something like "fsajgsdkjLsarjskfjdgksdgUfajdkfjaksfjaLsfadjsgksj kgsadfaskjfajsfkU" to trick whatever program that could be a keylogger or whatever.

I'm just capitalizing the letters for the example, you wouldn't want to do that in reality, since it would be pointless )

There's also another dream shift as a shuttle bus passes, something about some dude who is insanely buff and muscular, and doesn't even look like he has a normal body anymore showing off on a webcam.

Not to sure why I had that part showing, but anyway, it lasts for a few seconds before I'm back to riding my weird but useful bicycle.

Dream 2: Rain and Puddles

I'm riding my bicycle in the rain, and I'm in this weird area that looks like an outdoors mall or something, combined with school elements. I say that because everything seems to be packed in together, to serve as a way of being efficient and conserving of the space given.

I try to avoid these puddles on the light brown concrete road, but seeing as how I'm not feeling the water splashing on my skin, I forget about trying to avoid them in the first place.

Then I go into a random class, and it's fairly dark, with a project screen being the only source of light emitting. I believe this is a dream shift from me riding the bicycle in the rain and puddles.

There's one girl sitting in front of me, and one guy sitting behind me. The guy behind me is being annoying, rambling about some random crap, or just making random noises while a professor is trying to declare some things to the class.

I have a feeling the guy is someone I had in a lab my first semester as a freshmen in college, let's call him "S."

S goes on rambling again, and I decided to use my hand and cover his mouth without actually turning back to see him and make him shut up already!

Then I let go after he's quiet, and he's STILL rambling on! I mean, it's okay to talk and all, but if it's during the time a professor is speaking, just be quiet until she's done!!!

I found that the professor was pausing between her train of thought of what she wanted to declare to the class, and that was partially my fault, since I think I told S to just be quiet, but the professor wasn't annoyed by me.

I think she was pausing in her speech because in a weird way, I expected her to stop when I was trying to tell S to be quiet.

Then the girl sitting in front of me turns around, and guess what? She's a blonde who probably bleached her hair. I think I have some phone on my desk, probably an iPhone (which I don't in waking life).

She's asking me a question about something, and since I was still in the process of turning back to normal after trying to get S to just shut up already, it takes a while for me to respond to her.

Then I had a "lolwut?" moment and asked her,

"Huh?"

She responds, but I forget what she says.

Dream 3: DV Newcomer

A newcomer on Dreamviews comes in, and they're wondering why they met Nina and Tara in their dreams.

The user was having a problem understanding how they met them......................

I can't remember anything else.

Last night was the first night I went to sleep with clear intentions of having an LD. But getting to sleep, on the other hand, was not so easy considering I stayed up until 5am. I didn't LD last night, but I had many dreams that, upon waking up, my first thoughts were, ''that would have been the perfect moment to realise you were dreaming!''.

I remember around four different dreams. One involved being trained by an old man in a town with my cousin; he sends me on a quest to learn skills from someone else and off I go...on a parachute! A good friend of mine tags along, too. We sail through a valley, and I remember thinking that there are mountain lions about...cos, eh, why not! When we pass a river we're attacked by crocs, and that's all i can recall from that.

Another saw me visit a friend and his brother I hadn't seen in 5 years or more, in RL. The meeting was very awkward, and it started with me pointing out that their pool was in the front garden as opposed to the back. They look at me weird and although they dont say anything, I get the feeling that never had a pool to begin with. We got out to the back and enjoy a nice mean (with lots and lots of bacon, mmm); i try to chat to their mom, who kind of ignores me, and they take me inside to watch a film.

Another brief dream, which actually started from the one above, but once I woke up and went back to sleep, had a dream focused on this: i found a smartphone, and it had a trailer for a movie on it. I clicked play and it brought me, first-person, into a bathroom where the shower curtains were pulled. When I pulled over the curtains (cos i was there now), there was a girl crying with blood on breasts and when I looked right, her brother was there with clingfilm around his face, smeared with blood, and suddenly a dark figure just appeared behind the brother wioth dried blood all over his body.

Hmm, I'm a little foggy on the fourth one now...I think it had something to do with TV shows and my friends?

But, anyways, when I finally woke up today, my first thought was to keep my eyes closed, because I had been reading the many various techniques to induce and LD. So my mind is clearly on the right path, my dream recall has always been rather good, and after each dream I immediately realised where the neon-THISISADREAM reality check would have worked best. I also remembered a lot of internal dialogue I had, question where the pool was thinking that there was danger in the valley, so hopefully that means something.

I got on a bus that was divided into two sections: furies and non-furies. I sat in the non-furry section, which was the left side. There wasn't many people sitting on the non-furry side. Everyone on the bus was smoking (except for me) so the whole bus smelled like smoke. A guy a few rows behind me was talking about WILDing. When he went to get off the bus, I asked him "is WILD your main induction technique, or do you use MILD and DILD too?" He just smiled, knowing there was another lucid dreamer there. Didn't get lucid.*

I was living with another family. We were swimming in a pool. Then we went back inside.

(3rd person) There was a girl at my house, around 17 years old. She was on the top bunk of a bunk bed, talking to someone underneath. She was saying how much she hated her life. Then the scene changes to a living room, not my own. There was a kid flipping through a book of songs on the table. It was the girl's, and she was pissed when she saw him touching it. Everyone else in the room was playing an instrument.
---
I was in a store trying to put a tent together. I couldn't get the tarp to stay on it, so my step brother came over and helped me. There was a jacket on the tarp, so we took it off. I asked who's it was, and a little girl came and grabbed it. Then I met up with my brother and we walked around for a bit. I saw a rack with CDs. I noticed some vocaloid CDs, and I picked one up to read the back. I said "ha, there's even a Sonika song on here." My brother didn't really care, and I put the CD back since I didn't have any money.

"Kel!"
"Yeah, Kenan?"
"Go help Obama with his presidency!"

I was with this blond-haired woman making sandwiches for some sort of event; on the deck of my house. She showed me how to make one and she said she needed about 10.
The ingredients were pretty simple: Ham,Tomato,Lettuce, and two twenty dollar bills. She showed me how to fold them over under the ham and above the lettuce. She told me that it was important that the money wrap around all of the other ingredients.
At the end, I told her as a joke that I took $200 instead of putting it on the sandwich. She got really mad and started to chase me. I told her it was just a joke and she calmed down.
Then she ate one of the sandwiches and told me that the money tastes really good.

Had a slow morning and forgot a lot before writing things down. I remember a distinct image, footprints in the snow, going around a flag pole. The story, if there was one, is not clear.

Alright, this is my first dream journal post. I'm going to be porting a large number of the entries from my actual handwritten journal onto this website. Keep in mind, however, that my dreams tend to be incredibly dark and obscure. Anyway, all this said, let us begin.

Strength: Vivid
Type: Creepy-Chaotic
Lucidity: No

In my dream, I was in a sort of dock city. I was walking with someone else whose exact identity I cannot recall. We were walking beside water on a sort of boardwalk. At the beginning of our walk, the buildings lining the sides of the boardwalk were clean and fresh. But as we continued, the buildings grew dirtier and darker. It was almost as if we were entering a slum area. We kept walking. Slowly, the buildings fell into decay. The boards lining our pathway were rotting, the bricks were falling, and the doors, having lost support of their hinges, simply lay at the opening of each decrepit house. About a mile or two in, I saw the first corpse. He was lying outside of his house, mangled and bloody. As I continued, more bodies lined the floor. For whatever reason, I just kept walking.

What once appeared as a slum was now a ruin. Pieces of roof and debris lined the floor. Bodies lay in piles, pools of blood collecting beside them. The water beside me grew rough, and the ground became slippery with blood. Everything was coated in a shade of red. Then, I reached a dead end, where the boardwalk had simply rotted away to nothing. And there, standing at the edge of the dock, was a tall, dark, humanoid creature. His figure was illogical and chaotic, constantly contorting, while his head remained stationary. He just stood there, staring at me. It was then that I finally halted my forward shuffle. Both of us stood there, staring each other down. Then, all of a sudden, the rough water began to rise. It collected around my heels, swallowing the boardwalk and washing over my body. I lost sight of the creature. However, even with the water collecting around me, I remained frozen, staring straight ahead into space. Just as the water passed my head, I awoke.

This means normal dream
This means lucid dream
This means I'm loosing my lucidity
This means non-dream notes

So, in my dream, I am in my school. In my hands I have a plastic bag full of goodies, what, at first glance, would look cheep. I had two, unrecognizable, people with me and above the door to the gym was a face. It told me "Guess what it is, and you can keep it." I knew he meant the bag so I started listing off things. I can not remember what I guessed, but I ran out of guesses. I looked closer at the bag and saw a card with a Munchlax in a party hat on it that said "happy birthday". I scoffed at myself for figuring it out too late, "It's a birthday party gift bag." I said, annoyed. The face nodded glumly.

I walked away with the bag, as if it didnt matter that I lost the game. Suddenly I could recognize one of the other people, it was Gary from the Pokemon series. He took the bag and started going through it, finding things he wanted and claiming them as we walked through the school's halls. He pulled out an Umbreon lolipop and I WANTED IT. I leaped for it only to have it snatched out of my reach. I turned to spring again, jumping around and pleading. "I know you called dibs, Gary." I said, "I just wanna see it."

Gary looked satisfied that I had acknowledged his ownership of the piece and handed it, along with the rest of the bag, to me. I looked at the lillipop enviously and with great awe. There were small images of umbreon and espeon in it and I wished that it could be mine. But, i gave it back to Gary who smugly walked off.

I began to rummage through the bag myself, along with a small boy, and found two little treasures. Two umbreon figureines. One was a darker one that I had never seen before, the other was lighter in color and smaller, one that I have seen in the real world (http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w...pa_umbreon.jpg) But it's feet were chewed up.

I was happy, still. I love Umbreon.

This is a dream from a while back.
I was in a Nazi-like camp, except in the frame of the Harry Potter universe. Two of my closest friends were with me, as were two characters (Remus and Sirius) from a Harry Potter fanfic. One friend and I were pure bloods—we were put in the back, and treated well (mostly ignored). The half-bloods were in the middle; they were being yelled at and terrified, and uncertain of what would befall them. Remus was in trouble, because the Hitler figure (Umbridge?) found out that Remus was a werewolf and thus not a pure blood. The muggleborns were isolated in a separate chamber. They were forced to wear light blue uniforms, long stretchy shirts, with a symbol on them. They were also unable to walk fully upright—they were being controlled somehow so they couldn’t hold their heads up fully, and were oddly contorted. My other close friend was among them. I woke up as they were being led away. I was trying to figure out how to save her.

1. I was adopted by an asian family and i was dragging a fat kid by a rope on the ground.

2. Hard to explain, but I was driving to an ocean and the waves were huge. I was then trying to cross the ocean to get to the other side for a waterpark. I cleared it and the hall way was playing 'KoRn' music. I then was in a waterpark and it's hard to explain the rest but it was weird and cool.

no recall before WBTB
WBTB 2:55 - 3:41
DR 6:40

1. I'm in a big house in a canyon. There is a lot's of people there, have a feeling it's some celebrity wedding. The house has glass roof and I see F-117 coming towards the house from the nearby hill. It's flying very slow, like a hovering helicopter and low, just inches above the roof as it passes over the house.

There is more of them coming. One of the planes is so slow, that it's suction cup it has instead of wheel attaches to the roof. I can see it in great detail, same as other planes. Then one bomber flies over. It's huge. I'm in awe as it roars over our heads. My brother shows up and I tell him he missed the show. We ask the photographer to show him the footage and to give him a copy, but I guess he didn't tape the planes and he is embarrassed about it.

2. I'm in a hotel/hospital. People are disappearing. As I leave the dining area at 4o'clock, I get to my room door at 5o'clock and I have no recollection, what happened to me in that one hour. I'm telling others about people disappearing and trying to find out what's going on. I feel they are doing some experiments.

>>I'm in a hotel room/cell, underground, that has no door. I watch a bell-hop push a cart full of suitcases, some are even falling off. The belong to people who disappeared. I figure why not make a break for it. I somehow end up in a small room. Kids walk in and they are about to raise alarm. I tell them we can play hide and seek. While they hide, I get away.

I walk on the corridor and at the reception I jump over some metal rod (like at the entrance to amusement park IWL to count number of visitors). The receptionist nurse has just looked the other way, so I walk by unnoticed. I'm not sure where the exit is, but pretty sure it's through the dining area. So I walk by the gift shop, while trying hard not to run. I finally walk through the glass door with exit sign. I walk a little and decide to take a street car to get away faster. I hide between some panels. Then to my horror I notice the streetcar turning into the hospital complex.

I had no dreams until the 8th. My family was going on some vacation or fleeing the town or something of that nature. We stayed in an abandoned black and yellow hotel but did not sleep on any of the beds for some reason. I had all my stuff on the bed that I slept near.

This is a List of entries that are up until recent events.
(They're in chronological order)
[Additional notes will be marked in (x) { numbers instead of x} and written at the bottom of the entry]
Okay, so for a while I've had on and off dreams and although I hadn't wrote them anywhere until now, I still remember stuff
So here Goes:
[#1] Toilet Troubles:
I remember distinctly that it was on a minecraft world but, it was first person, like, real life. There were a few people playing or living or whatever. I was one of them; fitter than I actually am (As per usual in my dreams). The other I remember is Gemma. A girl who is pretty and funny but, I should just get on to what happened...
There was something to do with trying to get metal or stone and we found these weird toilets, figured out you could mine them and built huge towers in blacked out caves. I can't remember how but Gemma got stuck in one she'd built and I rescued her. somehow. The memory goes fuzzy on details.

[#2] Dreamception:
Yep, you read it right. A dream about a dream. That was weird... In the dream in the dream-(No, let's call it dream2) So, in dream2 I was trying to lucid. I noticed things different about me and tried some big Rc's. They worked. It was like watching the story on a screen. In dream1 it was like I was in a 2s cinema watching someone dreaming. As soon as I woke I was practically kicking myself not noticing I was dreaming.... But back to dream2:
I remember deciding to try and set something on fire with my mind succeeding, blinking and it was out. So I thought something like: "well if I really am dreaming I can just change anything I want to" So I did. In a big puff of smoke I changed from one scene to another, no not SCENE...landscape. Yes. I changed the LANDSCAPE. I can't remember what to and from though. Still that was in dream2 so it kinda sucked...
[#3] BattleShip:
Yes I was on one of those battleships that you see with big double cannons and on different levels. A Warship really. We were throwing things over the side of the boat (possibly buoys) There was lots of wind and high waves, it was all difficult to do, the running against the tilt of the deck, keep in time with the others, I think we were on a Naval Cadet Training Drill, We were Wearing those horrible life jackets but we were also all wearing bright orange reflective jackets.
[Next paragraph is the Observational comment I followed this log with:
"It appears that I can't remember full details yet of any dreams. Something is telling me that Gemma was on that boat with me but I don't recall seeing her. Maybe she is my Dream Guide; Which makes sense as she introduced me to the whole Concept of Lucid Dreaming."]

[#4] Darkness is Good?:
We are under attack, by wolves, big viscous brutal ones, but there's tools we can use, tools of Darkness. An axe, a bow and a blade all made from blackened steel with spikes sicking out and a sinister chrome/Metallic glow to them. I carry them on top of a leather biker jacket that has a...light tracksuit-feeling material overtop as a rain gaurd. It is black with two yellow stripes on it that curve from the shoulder inwards toward the chest then back out toward the hip. It's a yellow like on a bumble bee, Dan wears one too. He is where I pieced it all together. The jacket of dark power, the tools/weapons and the bike. Oh, the bike! Imagine a Harley Davidson where the engine is in front of you instead of underneath you. It's powerful. Well it literally radiates power. The deep roar of the engine sends out waves of energy that set particles tingling. It's like someone built a bike around a V8 engine then infused the whole thing with Darkness and Raw Power. The body work of the bike it sleek and black. The bits that aren't black are silver and all of the bike shimmers. Chrome on every bit of metal and a metallic shine all over.
This was only the start of the dream. I fired up the bike from an old garage which had red lighting. I powered through the streets toward a park. Chain link fencing all round and there in the middle of the basket ball courts was one of them. The Demon Wolves. I gave the engine one last huge throttle burst to scare the wolf back then skidded it to a stop. Smoke went up and I drew the Blade from the sheath on my waist. Moonlight flickered off the blade. I started towards the wolf but I saw it's demonic eyes flying, accelerating toward me through the smoke. Instincts took over. I sliced sideways across the wolf's chest just as it reached me and it fell dead at my feet.

Shame I can't remember anything else really... That last one sounded really cool but oh well. that's what's been happening inside my head the past few nights. Hope you enjoyed it (if you read this far.) Maybe I should of wrote some little (x) notes but oh well. Sweet Dreams and Happy Lucids People.

Mercassa Out.

1) Ok, this one was rather strange.. There was some huge fair/parade going through town so basically everyone was centralized in the streets. I picked up a Gatling gun and started killing everyone I saw. I just mowed them all down. The strange part was that all the people I knew, loved, or cared for, the bullets did nothing to. It was as if something stopped the bullets from hurting those who never hurt me. I had a few conversations and killed practically everyone in town. Kill'n the mayor was the funnest, just say'n.
2) Ok, this one topped that one on strangeness. I was like a fish or some'm with a bunch of friends who were fishes too. We were trying to swim from like this river to the ocean to the bottom or some'm. Strange...
3) There was a third dream.. I believe it was before the first one I wrote. But when you have this many random dreams you tend to forget the first few...
