non-lucid

(Not lucid)

I was in an antique store and was looking at teacups. It was a very upscale place and I felt I didn't belong there. As I looked into a case, the sales clerk asked if he could show me a teacup or take something out for me. I asked for one teacup and saucer. He told me I could go to the table near the window and wait. I took a seat and waited. There was a pot of tea on the table. When he brought the teacup and saucer he set it in front of me and left. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to test drive the teacup by pouring myself a cup of tea. I decided not to. I looked at the bottom of the teacup and it was expensive. The saucer had to be bought separately and it was expensive too. Well, I thought, I can afford the teacup but not the saucer. So, I bought the teacup. The sales clerk looked disappointed or disgusted with me. Guess I didn't buy 'enough' for his liking or commission.

I left the shop and took the subway home, which in real life, I don't do and don't even live in a city. On the subway, I met my grandmother - my dead grandmother. I told her and showed her what I bought. She tsked me and said, go back and buy the saucer. What's a teacup without a saucer. The dream ended.

In real life, that weekend I drove to my mother's house and just happened to go into the garage to get my mom something. In the garage were these beautiful teacups or coffee cups and saucers. I asked my Mom why they were in the garage and she said, they were my GRANDMOTHER'S and she didn't know what to do with them. I asked, Can I have them? So, I got the teacups AND saucers because my grandmother would not have been happy had I only taken the cups!

I seemed to be in a glasses house and the time was about 2:00 Am and my whole family was awake, and we were watching the military helicopters and troops in the distance Liberate other house, and they came for us, took us to the helicopter and we flew away. A small dream fragment, but I just wanted to write it down for the records.

The other day I was watching a documentary on the subject if humans were to leave this Earth, in a second, what would happen. I was very interested in this documentary because I have always been interested on what skills it would take to survive in the wild, just like Minecraft, where you have to find shelter and survive. The Documentary said that after a few days, electricity would die off, and that Water Damns would break and windmills would fall apart, leaving the Earth into another dark age. After said power is gone, Nuclear power plants would have melt downs due to the used fuel rods that are supposed to be cooled with water to keep the isotopes of the fuel rods from exploding. An example of this would be Japan and the Chernobyl Disaster. I was the only one left, and all I had were my Ak-47 and a dehydrated foods I had saved. I had to move away from highly populated areas, because the houses would soon fall and the Radiation would kill me if I didn't move to the north. After a few days of non stop traveling, and mapping my progress, I had escaped the radiation and could finally find somewhere to live. I found a field next to a river and water fall. Not only did this seem like a nice place to live, I would be able to progress with my Enlightenment I had always wanted to find while in the wilderness. I first started to make a make shift hoe to plow the place where I would have my garden and food. I found some rocks, sharpened them and chopped down some trees and made wooden planks to make my house. The making of my house was finished within a few days, and I had been eating all the dehydrated food I have stored, which game me strength to go on and make what I needed to make. It felt as though a month had passed and I had finally build my house next to the river that led to the water fall, and made a wooden wheel that rotated on currents to make electricity and heat. My plants started to grow, and I began to start my crop rotation. Later that night, I have noticed that Wolves had been fighting over each other, and I took the pelts from the deceased wolves and used them for blanks to sleep. A pack of wolves found where I lived, and began to try and break my door down. I made a latter earlier to get on the roof. I took my Ak-47 to the roof and started to kill the wolves left and right. The excitement woke me up.

Normal Dream

Night 32

I hate these mornings where I wake up every 10-20 minutes, while having a different vague short dream every time, I can never remember any of them.

I. I only vaguely remember this one, I had this amulet around my neck, it was silver, and I remember saying to myself that this was an amulet of dreaming. Even though I was thinking about dreaming again, I still did not become lucid.

II. A short dream where I was in my house, I was walking to the laundry room where I looked out the window and seen a big party at my neighbors, that is all.

Me and some girl (which looked like my old friend Emily) were looking at apartments and I decided on possbily Foxwood again. I was excited to find the one we were looking at seemed almost in the same spot as the one I lived in previously. The office lady assured me it wasn't, although it might seem like it. We walked inside and I was immediately surprised at how remodeled this one was. It had like an upstairs bay window seat, as well as plenty of cabinet space.

Somehow it turned out to have more than just two bedrooms, so we decided to look around. Us (Emily and I?) and the office lady opened one of the doors and we went down this dark hallway. We opened a door to a room where a child was sleeping. Hearing us in the doorway, the child looked up and started screaming like she was possessed. We were like, "Okay, we're done in here."

As we were leaving the office lady mutters, "Somebody died in here." Officially creeped out, we turn to leave, and suddenly there's a cat sitting there. Apparently the little girl had turned into a cat somehow. And then I see that my cat, Shithead, is also there. The evil cat tries to attack us and we leave just in time. As I'm closing the apartment door, I realize my cat is still trapped in there, so I go back for him. I start attacking the evil cat, and then the one that's supposed to be my cat says, "Yeah, that's actually YOUR cat." So I'm like attacking my own cat. Horrified, I realize there's no way to beat this ghost and decide to never rent from Foxwood again.

I think I woke up sometime after this, and also I kind of remember Bruce Willis being in this dream, but I don't remember what the context was at all.

Remembered a relatively decent chunk of dream after a few nights of rubbish. I have a feeling these two parts are connected, as the story fits, though I remembered the second part before the first.

9/4/12

I arrive at a uni accommodation similar to a friend's in Bristol that I stayed in recently, as if it was my own. I walk past a kitchen window where I can hear a large group of people and music. I pick out a certain girl's voice [or should I say, her insanely thick Scouse accent] and wonder if her fit friend is with her.

Without bothering to check, I go across the garden to 'my' room to pack, to go home for the holidays [which I'm on now]. I do something with the iPod speakers on the windowsill, looking out the window to the party kitchen as I do so. I catch the gaze of a girl amongst the other people, and she suddenly appears next to me, as if by magic. We talk for a few minutes, while I try and make out if I think she's hot or not.

---

My mum tells me over the phone that I have a train to catch soon, so I should get a move on. Me and a friend of mine decide instead to get a bus instead to Bournemouth [a place not even remotely close to where either of us live]. We take ages searching for the bus depot, however, so decide to ring the helpline. We get through to a strange man who's screaming along to a metal track in the background, stopping a few times briefly to give us help. We find out the next bus isn't til 7pm, which is not acceptable.

I decide to get the train after all, but realise I've left my tickets at home (home-home, not uni-home)! I see a DC that lives near my house and approach him to ask for some sort of lift home, but he cycles away before I can get close.

I dont remember much of this dream. Firstly i remember being at a mall and there was a big party going on. I met up with a stoner friend of mine and then went to a random store that sort of reminded me of a gift shop. I bought a tye dye hat. I remember wearing camo pants a tye dye shirt and a tye dye hat. I called my outfit tacky and thats right before i woke up.

Lucid Non-Lucid Other

1) I was at school and I had to do something there that required me to stay late. When I got out I couldn't remember how to get out of my school considering it was a lot bigger than usual. I walked around and saw a door going outside but it was on the backside of the school and I saw stairs inside the school. Rather than going outside and walking around the school, I went up the stairs to find another way out. I opened the door to a huge room with all kinds of dirt ramps and rails. The room was so high up I could barely see to the very bottom. I wonder how I did not become lucid because my school does not consist of this abnormal place. There was a young kid there who was jumping the DIRT ramps on a skateboard. He was rather good but he was falling a lot. He kept on trying to grind this rail that was about 200 ft below us and would always fall off. He never got hurt and just kept going. A few times i tried the ramps i nearly almost fell to my death. After awhile I found my way out and walked outside to where my mom picks me up from school. There were a few friends out there but the weird part was that I had friends there from other schools. I never questioned why they were there and never became lucid.

2) I was in a room at my school with my friend but I never saw his face. We were trying to lucid dream by putting our elbows in mayonnaise and letting it harden. This isn't a way to lucid dream (obviously) and we were doing it standing up. This girl from my school walked in and she was looking hotter than ever. She asked us what we were doing and I told her and she laughed. She didn't think it was weird she was just laughing at something else.

Dream Type: Non-Lucid, Memorable.
Dream Mood: Depressing, Scary, Confusing.
Dream Setting: My mother's home, My high school.
Dream Characters: My mom, A bunch of my friends and classmates.

I do not remember much of what happened before the main portion of the dream, but as the first part, I had come back to my Mom's house, finding it made of all Minecraft blocks, well, poorly made by my mother, that is. She was complaining and mournfully telling me about how we didn't have enough to afford good housing and that my step-dad would have to work for the rest of his life to have a comfortable life (Which is strange because he's already retired). Still, there was one room in particular that was strange. The roofs were made of either blue blocks, black blocks or water blocks, which felt like rain as I stood under it. There was a loud noise when I stood under the room, and so I decided to redecorate the whole house with wood blocks and whatnot. It turns out that noise in the one room was actually a helicopter that was flying left and right over our house because there was a bear next door to us.

The next part of the dream started when I was eating with some friends at my high school on the football field. Somewhere before hand, we have heard that some other place had gotten a bomb of some sort, and not long later in the distance, we could see a large explosion that seemed like an Atomic Bomb, rubble and dirt flying from behind the building. It did nothing to us, per se, though even in the dream I wondered if it would hurt us. We were told to evacuate the school, and so I did. Strangely, I could only walk really, really slowly, though I got to the front of the school, where I encountered a plethora of orange cars there. They told us to get into any of the cars and to drive home. I saw an empty car that was free for the taking. I thought that I should get in and go, but I was scared for some reason.

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.
