non-lucid

Lots of Animals
Noelle and I live in a large house with wooden floors. We have a golden retriever that we just took in. Morrissey (our cat) comes to the door, but has a whole family of cats with her that all look just like her, only different sizes. I let them all in, but the cats and the dog immediately don't get along. The dad cat is hissing and hunching his back; the dog is barking. The dog poops in two different places on the floor, so I let them all outside. Outside, there is a large raccoon walking while holding a baby raccoon. Suddenly, this huge sheep (which actually looks more like a sheep/horse hybrid and is about five feet tall) starts walking toward me. I am scared and start to run. Someone stops me and tells me if I run the sheep will definitely chase me. I should instead just remain calm and let it pass. I do so.

Dream Fragment
Something about a bear.

Lizards Masquerading as Humans
I am in an office of some sorts. I am stacking clothes of mine on a couch. I leave and come back in and all the clothes are gone. We are all about to evacuate (I think a hurricane is coming) and these are all the clothes I own, so I am very upset. I start questioning this girl (who looks like Noelle, but isn't). She has teh clothes but won't tell me where they are. I grab her by the back of her neck and drag her outside. I didn't notice this as strange at the time, but I am holding onto her neck by a thick vertebrae bone in the back of her neck like you would find on a reptile - not human at all. I throw her to the ground and kick her in the face. I immediately feel regret and can see that she is in pain.

At The Office
Courtney and I are working for a guy named Hitler. He is gone for the week, so I am setting my own schedule and going out every night.
My sister and I are walking down a street to my office building. The road is mostly empty except for these strange silver trucks I keep seeing behind us. We walk down a dirt road and arrive at the office. There is a nice array of food which I begin eating.

This is one of the only details I remember from this dream...

I was in a classroom, but it was some special day so we weren't being taught anything. This was about to the end of the dream. In the dream, I looked back at my past actions I actually did and said out loud "Wow, this has been a long dream." Then, there was this girl. For the strangest reason, I knew I was in her dream. I told her something like "And this dream has been long for you too." I walked away and finished the dream. I never became lucid. I do remember seeing her again in the dream too.

Although I highly doubt this was actually a shared dream, I thought it was kind of interesting.

So I got lucid! But I can't remember a single thing after doing a reality check. I was at my dad's in the backyard at nighttime, I can't remember what made me lucid, but I do remember doing a reality check. I think I tried doing my first task, but I don't know if I failed or not.

EDIT: Ah! I remember! Ok, I've been trying WakingNomad's magical reality check idea, which involves performing some act of dream control directly after doing a reality check in real life, so when you do a reality check in a dream, you do that form of control in a dream. I've been trying to grow wings in preparation for a task I've been wanting to try: shapeshifting into a dragon. After I did a reality check I grew a pair of wings. I felt them poke through the back of my shirt and spread out. They weren't dragon wings, rather they were feathery, like a bird or angel. After that I woke up.

The infected plains:
A really creepy dream about a big piece of land with all kinds of different grounds, at the start of the dream I was seeing a map of the place with different colors for different types of ground (including things like: stone, sand, grass, shallow water, deep water), they were also labelled with numbers from 1-99. I think the 99 meant no human can normally pass through, which I think was assigned to deep water as normally passing through was defined by walking on it.
I was walking around together with someone else, and there were somehow infected humans who had a horribly distorted voice and language, who obviously were dangerous, the higher level infected ones however were able to imitate normal behavior to be able to more easily infect others. A part of me was unaware in the dream immersed, yet I had another part watching and knowing about their infection and the danger. In the end the combination of both sides compelled me to touch an infected cat which then made strange noises and gave me a scratch on the leg which woke me up.

Spear gun trip:
I was laying out some type of magical traps in this slightly western like looking city (the street however was very sloping and really narrow) and some people started shooting at us (whoever was there with me didn't follow me though), I picked up a bit of ammunition and got my spear gun (Bioshock 2) with some rocket spears ready.
But as I went around the corner the dudes were gone and I found myself in a slightly dark underground complex, there was a sniper (TF2) whom I missed with my first shot, he decided to taunt me and got himself a rocket spear in the face, then 2 scouts came for me from the level below and I immediately hit one of them with a rocket spear, the other one using the stairs to come after me. After a undetailed fight I was searching through my weapons, confused not to find the weapons in the order I'm used to. On slot 2 I found some types of wine of which I used so called Sourwine to attack him and inflict acid damage.

Strange mission:
I was having a mission together with a companion (a girl slightly younger than me if I recall correctly), through some gestures I send her to get something (a small thing, maybe a key) while I myself was going in the opposite direction. From the green hills I was walking on a short moment ago I come into this dark place where a lot of magicians gather some strange points, they were my enemies and I tried to take them out one by one without getting the attention of the whole bunch.

March 11, 2012

It's hard to tell where this dream started but I believe it began with the theme of Eragon. I remember seeing dragons flying and the idea that they needed to escape to somewhere. They decided to escape to another planet located far away. When they got there they saw a bunch of people with light sabers, battling each other. I believe this to be one of the planets in star wars. The rest is a little fuzzy but I can remember seeing Leah and Han Solo at one point.

The dream then switches to a new scene. I am sitting in my car with my family, on our way to the grocery store. We are heading down a road when I notice a very large turtle shell in the grass off to the side. I point it out to my family but they don't seem to care. A few seconds later I see another turtle shell in the grass. Soon after we arrive in the parking lot of the store. Off to the side there is a small section of grass where I see something fuzzy. I ask my parents if I can stay outside while they go shopping.

I go to investigate the fuzzy things and see that it is a pile of kittens and baby chicks sleeping . I thought it was absolutely adorable and get all excited when I see a blue kitty. The rest of the dream is fuzzy but I can remember my family coming back and looking at the animals as well

Recalled a good amount of this one compared to my other dreams. Remembered 3 different dreams last night.
I was in a park for some reason or another, as I had to explore it and look for anything strange. The park was big, and it was nighttime, so it was honestly sort of creepy.
I ended up finding this girl, no older than 15, who told me her name was Melissa. Right after I met her, it started snowing like crazy and Melissa started to literally freeze. I panicked and tried to warm her up, but it didn't work, and she ended up freezing to death. I had a bad feeling someone did this to her.
I went back to some house afterwards only to be greeted by dozens of monsters from the game Killer7. I pulled out a gun and started shooting them, making my way through the random house, thinking that these things killed Melissa.

I was at a weird, condo looking place. My cousins and aunt and uncle were in this one too. They said they came to go swimming at the beach. I was going to swim after my little cousin Kaci suggested, but I realized I didn't have any trunks. However, I looked down and saw I DID have trunks on. And it had these weird sticks of gum in the pockets. I pulled them out and showed them to Kaci, asking what they were.

This next one's a fragment.
My dad and I went to some canyon with a huge water slide on it. These odd, cavemen-esque people were with us, urging us to jump down the waterslide. I jumped down and wooped, excited by the speed at which I went.

Happy I could remember 3 different dreams, even if one was a fragment. (:

I was walking down a boring office hall. There was boring blue carpet on the floor and the walls were a boring greyish tan color. I walked inside a room and even found a boring brown bench I could sit on. I saw something that wasn't regularly included in an office - a shower. Huh. There was only a curtain in front of it.

I heard my dad coming down the hall. He called out my name. I walked back out of the room and looked at him. He was a few yards away from me, standing next to an identical room.
"I'm going to take a shower. You need anything?"
"No, I'm fine." I smiled.
"Okay then. I'll be out in just a minute."
He turned to go into the room.

I turned back around and walked down the hallway. I found another room with a shower in it. This timer three girls were standing there. They were going to take a shower, and politely asked me to leave. I said no problem, and walked down the hall once more. I waited a couple of minutes, and came back to the room. They were already in, hidden behind the curtain. I saw they didn't have any towels with them, so I ran and grabbed three and brought them back. I lay them on the brown bench in the room, then quietly left.

First

I'm at a large house in the countryside, a camping center. The others are mostly males between 20 and 30 years. For some reason I get locked in a barn with small group. The rest have something against us. I tell everyone I have a plan and light a candle. I escape trough a loose board in the wall. The candle is useless, it's daytime, and I blow it out. Then I go around the back, hiding behind things. I think someone sees me but they don't care. All the others have gather around a hill and are discussing some arrangements at the camp. They're talking about hiring a new handyman.

Second

There are some ethereal creatures and they are leaving this world trough a portal. I'm not one of them, I'm just watching. One stays behind for some reason. She has and emotional connection to this world. Another one comes, a male, and he finds her. He talks her into coming with him, but apparently this take years and in the meantime they fall in love. She still doesn't want to leave completely, but he tells her that they can come back ones in a while, but they can only live here for a thousand years at a time. I wonder how they could hide their identity if they live a thousand years.

Third

I'm returning home, walking by the road in a residential area. The houses don't look familiar, even though this should be my road. I notice the backside of my building on the other side of the block, I've taken the wrong road. I walk trough a yard to a back door. I briefly wonder if my keys will fit, since my apartment is actually on the other side, but I do get in. Something wrong on the first floor, there are people talking about it. I go up to my apartment. I'm interested in what the trouble was but decide to change my shoes before going back, I'm wearing hiking shoes and they are pretty heavy. There are things lying around in the apartment, I've left in a hurry, and I start cleaning them up.

Fourth

I'm in a gallery with small boutiques all around. There is a coffee place and a couple of clothing stores. I woman decides to buy something from a small bakery. I try to decide if I want to get something. There is a third person there, a man, who might know me, but not very well.

It was dark, and my family and I make a rush to our storm shelter just outside our mobile home. It isn't the same as our real on, though. Across the street, I see the howling monster work its way towards us. "INSIDE THE SHELTER, GET INSIDE!" I shouted, and everybody rushes inside. The tornado gets closer, and I close the door, choosing to sit on the step underneath it. I push the rods into the latches to keep the door from opening, but the latches seem, strange. Just a chain welded to the wall of the shelter, while the actual latch fits through a hole on the door. There are three on the bottom of the door and three on the top. I latch them all. It gets closer and closer, then finally the tornado is right on top of us. How do I know? The door lifts up, restrained by its chains up it lifts up showing the storm approach us. When it was over the shelter, I had to grasp the handle to hold the door down, when the air gets really thin, like the air gets sucked out of me. It soon departs, and the air gets quiet. I unlatch the door and look around at the damage. My house is still standing, the cars are all there, but there are numerous holes punched in the house, the garage, and the cars. As we're wandering around, police start racing up and down the streets, and I look up toward the storm, and to my surprise, there is another twister heading in our direction. I start to rally everybody together. "THE SHELTER, GET TO THE SHELTER NOW!!!! NOW!!!" Everybody just starts sauntering towards our shelter, seemingly oblivious to the tornado in the distance. As it closes the gap I notice some people are missing, namely my sister. I scream again, "GET TO THE SHELTER NOW!! NOW!!!! GET TO THE SHELTER!!!!!" and my sister still doesn't appear. Although, a car of asian women pulls up, and gets out ever so slowly. I Look at them with curiosity, but fear moreso because the tornado is literally accross the street and these women are taking their time! Finally they make it to the shelter, and I close the door and latch it. As did last time, the door opens up a bit and I have to hold it down, but it yanks free and breaks a few chains, allowing the door to open up all the way. We look right into the maw of the twister, but I manage to get a hold of the door and keep it down. As it passes, we open the door to inspect the damage. I notice a piece of my car is missing off my trunk, but we find it and replace it. Then I make my way to our house, and notice my sister is relaxing in our recliner, and I say "Why didn't you go to the shelter?" She said something like "They say stay in the house during a tornado" to which I replied "In a mobile home? NO! They say get out of the mobile home! If there is no shelter you're supposed to get in a ditch." Actually, I believe there were 2 tornadoes to begin with and we didn't get out of the shelter the first time until after the second, and then the third hit.

I'm afraid I don't actually remember this one...my notes say: "stuff in bushes, house red and on fire, keeps restarting slightly different, evil guy scared of legs". :s

I was reading through some shared dreaming stuff and saw a post by WakingNomad with this in it:

That got me thinking, I actually had a dream like this a long time ago. I figured it'd be worth writing down for the sake of preserving the memory. I don't really remember what happened in the dream leading up to this part other than that it was a pretty normal dream, I used to know more but it's been way too long since it happened, I was a little kid at the time. But I was sleeping in my parents' bed, and at the end of the dream I had that feeling WakingNomad describes, where everything is very vivid and very normal looking (not dream-like at all) and I felt like a ghost. I wasn't walking though, I was hovering (but not controlling it) in my mom's personal room, which is connected to my parents' bedroom. There are doors separating them with glass centers and window blinds to cover them, and the blinds were open so I could see through them. I saw myself sleeping in their bed in the early morning, and I saw the time on the clock behind my head. I don't remember what it was anymore, but let's say it was something like 6:34. (I do honestly think it was some time after 6am....) I didn't really realize what was going on at the time, but I did feel like something crazy was happening, and there was a large energy building, but everything was fading away, and then I woke up in the bed in the exact position I had been laying in, alone like I saw myself in the dream (my parents had already woken up and left the room), and the clock read 6:34 (or whatever it was), exactly as it had in the dream. I thought it was pretty cool, which is I guess why I still remember it after all this time. I didn't think much further into it, though. I was a kid, I had other priorities. So that's that.

This is karmic retribution, punishment for having four lucids in one night. :C This was the worst recall yet... I don't even have a full dream to post. T-T

Dream Fragment - "Hanging out at O's newest house, made lots of friends."

Dream Fragment - "Third-person Marshall (from How I Met Your Mother) freaks out about an essay exam."

Dream Fragment - "Something about trading attack turns in some IRL RPG."

And now... I leave you with these thoughts.

Dream One Non-lucid

I was in a car with my dad. We were driving up a dirt road driveway to a huge house that my grandparents had bought. In my dream they had recently won the lottery, and had no other desires than to buy a house. My dad and I had just came back from buying food for us all. When we got nearer to the house, we parked. "Get the food in the back of the car, will ya?" My dad told me. I hopped out, and opened the back door to get the food. But when I tried to grip it, it would slip out of my hands. After, what seemed like 15 minutes, I finally got the food. I was walking into the house now, and I heard my grandmother say, "Come into the house, don't tire yourself out!". "What? I am only carrying a bag of food, how can I tire myself out?" I replied and closed the door behind me. I was in the living room now, and there were two directions I could go in. Left or right. I chose left, but got lost, so I turned around and headed left. It was the right way to the kitchen, and there I found my grandmother cooking biscuits. "Here, take one." She told me while handing me a steaming biscuit. I then woke up.

Building & Glass Elevator, Sportsmanship, Mechanical Insect, Keiko, Aang Crying, Bus

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Building & Glass Elevator

I remember going to a huge building and I'm walking with a few DCs. In my backpack, I have some statement verifying I have funding for college, and it's a lot of money for me.

I go inside and I see a lady that looks like she would be someone at a Help Desk. She looks like she's in her 30s wearing a short full body skirt.

There were other DCs that had statements for funding from different banks as well, and I wanted to show her mine, but I decided that I should go up somewhere.

I wanted to use the restroom, and it was designed for one person to use. There's someone occupying it, and the door is slightly open.

He's washing his hands, and he sees me and tells me I can come in since it looks like he's almost done anyway. I tell him "Thank You" and he responds "No problem."

Then when he leaves, I do my business, I have trouble aiming at first, but I get it on target. The door is still slightly open. A male peeks and I notice this, and then I get mad at him and start to close the door quickly with fury. (Funny how someone lets me use the bathroom while they're almost done with it, and I get mad when someone tries to come in. But I guess if the other dude was still doing his business, he would be bothered too).


After that, I was going up a lot of stairs and felt like a corporate building, and a I knew I met a female along the way, and when I get to the top after talking for a while, the fire alarm rings, and we all decided to go on.

I wanted to go down the stairs but someone tells me that I should come to the elevator with them. I think it was my mother, and I ignore whatever she's trying to telling me next.

We're in a glass elevator (sort of, I can see outside though), and I'm waiting for it to go all the way down, and it's pretty bright outside.

We go outside and I see an Asian guy that looked Viet that I used to know in High School. He's going after this girl, and it seems he likes her. There's another girl behind him sitting down watching him make a move on the girl.

She starts to follow them, and they're probably 15-20 feet away from me, I look at her for a while and then I shift my attention to going forward somewhere.

Dream 2: Sportsmanship at Bar

I see a group of males that looks like they are on a football team, but they're just wearing athletic shirts like Powerhouse shirts. Two males look like they have the same body structure, and they all gather together.

The whole environment seemed to be in a bar late at night.

One guy comes up to join in on the victory, but since the opponents are close to them, he portrays some sportsmanship and stays quiet until he reaches his group.

After that, he even shakes hands with the other team to just help them not feel like they're complete losers.

Dream 3: Mechanical Insect

I'm inside a building again, and I see this monster in front of me. From my view, it looks like it's around 6-9 feet tall, and it's weird.

It looks like an insect, but it's a mechanical insect, and most of the colors that coated the metal were blue and green. It starts releasing green goo, and me and another guy are dodging it.

One person tries to stab literally straight to its heart. One sword goes on the top section, and the other goes on the bottom. A lot of goo is spewing out from this creature, but it just won't freaking die.

The person sees this isn't working, and tries to go for the right torso region this time, there's more goo spewing out, but it is still alive. The guy decides he has to make some kind of radial attack to cover all sides near its heart.

It finally dies, and I swear the guy who killed it looked like Zolo from One piece, but I'm just going to presume it was him.

The dream shifts to where this a male has some cleaned metal base from the creature and it's black. Whenever he adds oil to it, it makes this really hot flame.

I can literally feel the heat as it radiates and I cover my face and neck region, and I tell the male that he should stop doing that, and he's like "Ooooh okay" in a stupid hippy accent.

Dream 4: Keiko

I'm in a building again, and there's this anime girl outside. We (I'm with random DCs again) had to keep her safe somewhere because she's tied up with white rope.

We decided to lay her somewhere, and then as I start to turn to follow whatever group of DCs I'm with, I see some being near the girl.

The person looks like Elder Toguro from Yu Yu Hakusho, and before he could do something horrible to her, a random anime chick comes in to save the girl, but I think she vanishes, which was really no point in her coming in the first place.

Elder Toguro vanishes and gets closer to the same girl being bound by white rope, and he starts to form a weapon, kind of like a cutlass from his arm.

He has the girl by her neck, and I see Kurama is behind him, and he's talking like Kazuya, one of Shinobu Sensui's personalities. I found that a bit odd for another character's voice to be one of the main character's accent, but I just go along with it.

Kurama does a rose-whip attack on Elder Toguro's head, which apparently kills him. We leave the girl safe again, and we loosen up the white rope a bit so that she could move.

She looked a lot like Keiko Yukimura from Yu Yu Hakusho.

Dream 5: Aang Crying

I'm riding down a huge slope with a bicycle, and it's daytime. The road is really wide, and when I have to go up, I end up flipping some object all the way to the top.

Once I reach there, I see an image of Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender crying as Katara is holding him.

Dream 6: Bus

I'm going inside a bus and I go to the back end of it. In the middle are three seats. There's a DC to my right that's sitting on one end. I'm not sure if it's a male or a female, but I sit in the middle of the seat.



I feel like I took someone's spot, but I didn't care.

This is probably the weirdest thing to have happened to me. I had been trying to WILD earlier but stopped because it had been around 40 minutes since I started. I rolled over and went back to sleep.

Then I woke up on the other side of my old bed (I was dreaming but I didn't know). At the time, I thought I was still in bed so I started another WILD attempt (kind of accidentally). I looked at an object on my floor. I closed my eyes but I could still see the object somewhat clearly behind my eyelids. It starts what you could say, "transitioning". I enter SP and soon I'm in a WILD dream inside my (I think) normal dream. Both dreams were really vivid, I don't know if I actually WILD into the first one subconsciously.

Everything is really blurry, and I can't move my arm inside the WILD. I try to stay still and let the dream progress before I try to mess around with it. I wait for about 5 seconds and I transistion back to the normal dream, and I went back into the WILD moments later. My bed was different in the WILD. I tried to stand up but I started to lose the dream. I waited. Then the WILD ended altogether. I wake up back in my old bed. I try to push my hand through my palm (reality check). It didn't work. I plugged my nose but I could still breathe! I didn't know what to think. The last thing I remember is sitting on the side of my bed.

Then I woke up. Back in my old bed. This time I was on the left side of the bed, compared to the previous where I was on the right. I thought about what just happened. I woke up again. In my old bed. I thought I was back in my real bed. I said "Screw it" and went back to sleep. I woke up in my real bed, on the left side of my bed (where I always sleep). I was actually awake this time.
