non-lucid

I’m at a small grocery store. If I remember right, the owner doesn’t let me in at first, because the store is closed. I get in and get the things I need. There are two lines, both very long. I choose one. Another lane opens and people pour in, me being a bit late. The new line remains the shortest though, and I move over there. I get to the checkout and the cashier is the owner. As he check my things another customer comes and asks about a hair growth product. The owner, jokingly, says that it costs 30 euros – per hair. The customer starts counting his strands of hair, but is unable to count them all and gives up. The cashier checks the rest of my stuff. There are fruit, vegetables and a few colorful boxes of things. They are all pretty small.

#1: I was poisoned with two other people. It was night time. These two people died eventually, and I arrived at a kebab shop or something like that. The owner was a large man with some facial hair which makes a very tiny beard. He saw that I was poisoned and slapped his assistant on the head and said "Call an ambulance!" in some kind of accent. I waited for the ambulance, but when it arrived it drove passed, I could hear what they said, the driver said "That's not him, keep going." I waited and waited, I saw some guys kicking a ball around. I remember my condition getting worse, then waking up.

#2: I was walking somewhere and there was this amazing view, similar to that from the dream with the travelling bag salesman. I was with some friends, not sure who though. I saw the girl who appeared in other dreams and she was with some other people, one of which had big, curly hair. He got angry at me and I grabbed him. However the most prominant figure in this dream was the girl, even thought it should have been focusing on the guy, it was actually her who I could see the best.

2012-02-28
We arrive in Tibet (which I know next to nothing about, and the stuff my mind came up with ranges from wildly inaccurate to patently absurd). It is still like the world was in the time of Jesus. Everyone is very poor. I talk to one of the monks in the orange robes. I want to ask him about lucid dreaming, but there are other things to talk about first, and I let him steer the conversation. He talks about how their language, French, used to be the most widely used language, and now they are side-lined as English has taken its palce. I tell him I know I am simply lucky that my language is the widely used one. He tells me I have many years to learn other languages. I tell him about how I am trying to learn German.

There are all these quarters on the ground. I pick one up, but I get the feeling that I wasn't supposed to, so I put it back down later. Then I pick up another one later. I see the monks periodically placing them on the ground. Er... oops. I really was not supposed to do that. I try to sneakily place the quarter back on the ground, but the monk I've been talking to catches me. He yells at me, saying that picking up the quarters is very wrong, causing a curse that can hurt or kill people. He made that mistake when he was younger, and people died. I'm really sorry. I didn't know. I won't do it again.

We walk. Pretty much all of the people here besides the monks are old, poor, French-speaking women, and all the monks are men. I don't see any children, although I think there are a couple other tourists, like me. The monks provide the old women with aid and advice, where they can. The monk follows me into a room, probably on a boat. I am looking at a barbecue pork recipe on the wall, while eating a piece of barbecue chicken with my hands. He asks me what it is, and I tell him.

Outside again, the monk kisses me on the forehead. This feels very weird, and I am not comfortable with this at all.

In the night, we are woken by a loud noise. We get up to go check it out. It was just a loud machine, though. The monk talks to one of the women in French. I get separated from him somewhere along the way. I'm using my cell phone for light, where there are not other lights. I'm in the living room of my old house now. I see my mom. She jumps onto the fireplace, climbing up the brick in a way that seems creepily inhuman. On the mantelpiece above the fireplace, there are two statues. There are supposed to be four. My 'mom' takes one of the remaining statues, leering at me. She is not supposed to do that. The monks will be mad. That's much worse than when I picked up the quarters, and she is doing it on purpose! I throw my phone at her.

I wake up. It's 4:15 am. At first I just jot down some notes, but that dream was so cool/weird that I decide to write it all out in the middle of the night instead of waiting for the morning.

There's a large well. I am Ian, and the Doctor and possibly Barabara are here, too (from Doctor Who). I dropped the ring down the well, but I need to get it back. There is some sort of sprite/spirit in the well, controlling the water. First the water level goes down, then it goes back up. I dive into the water to retrieve the ring and am sucked down into a hole at the bottom of the well.

I'm travelling with a partner. We're in a shop. I buy a floppy hat. We leave the shop, which is just one small part of a bigger place. For some reason, we're signing up to fight in a gladiatorial event. The line for it is very long and slow. This place has the atmosphere of a casino. It's confusing when I finally get to the front of the line. There's a teller open, but I'm not sure I can use that one. There are signs, but somehow that just confuses me even more. Are fighters supposed to only sign up at the particular teller? I end up using the same one my friend did, after he is done. The person there thinks I am someone she knows, named Rita. I play along. Half my information (address, name, etc.) is fake anyways. I probably wouldn't get through this with a teller who didn't 'know' me. I'm nervous about being discovered, though, but eventually I am done signing up, and I get my 'lotto' tickets that I can use if I survive.

It's night. The fight will be tomorrow. The guy who runs this place is evil. I find stairs going up, but when I get to the top, there is nothing there. I guess it will lead somewhere once they're finished setting up. I go back down.

I put on the floppy hat I bought earlier. It takes me a while to get all the plastic tag bits off of it. I'm with the other gladiators. I encourage them to rebel. When the staff comes along, I attack them (oddly, just this one scene is in third person). I get completely piled on, but when the others start fighting, too, I get a chance to escape.

I walk through the fire escape door, deliberately and without hesitation, even though I know I will probably be caught quickly, since these things are well guarded. The fire alarm goes off, and I step out into a corridor. The guard outside the door seems to know me. He asks how some plot I'm supposed to know about is going. I don't know what to say, but I'm not worried about that right now. I'm looking for a door that actually leads outside. I find an office, instead. I turn around and try going the other way. I find the door that actually leads outside and I start walking along the street, eager to get away. The guard is following me like some sort of puppy, complaining about how tired he is because he didn't get any sleep last night. I tell him he wouldn't have gotten any rest if he had stayed on guard duty anyway.

I am playing in a high school all star game, and playing the best of anyone on the floor. When it comes time for the slam dunk contest, I know that I won't be able to dunk. For some reason there are NBA players out there, I choose possibly the worst player for a dunk contest, Dirk Nowitzki, and give him the ball to take my place. Dirk says "ready for the Serge Ibaka free throw line dunk?" I am really excited to see dirk pull this off, but when he goes up he throws the ball off the backboard and completely misses. I knew I should have tried.

I am walking around the lake in my neighborhood with a blonde girl, I don't know who it was. I either caught a fish or just saw a big one, don't remember. When we get to the table I see my friends Steve, Dylan, Max, Cody, and Jimmy sitting there. They are mad at me for not stopping to talk to them, I say "well you should have called and told me you were here." Jimmy catches up to us and I introduce them

I am running around an indoor track which is inside a library. I am with my ex girlfriend. I want to go to Blue Ridge. I remember being on a highway that i have seen before in a dream.

I got pulled over with a small bag of bud in my car (should have known i was dreaming as I quit smoking) I walk up to the courtroom in Blue Ridge, which is very old. When I open the door 3 puppies run out, I see the "judge" and jury. The judge puts my charge into a computer which then prints out my ticket, the charge is $525 dollars. I start freaking out because that is so high, a woman in the jury is laughing at me. I scream "why are you laughing?! this is not funny!"

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Person giving a Speech in College Class

This dream probably repeated itself two times. I am hungry in this dream, and I'm going to some class in college, and I see this DC that looks like the cook of a Sushi Restaurant I go to sometimes. He asks me if I'm ready because we're doing some kind of speech in class.

We go up the stairs of this random building we're in and give our speech. The dream resets and I meet the guy again. We were doing the same thing.

Then the third time he said we needed a microphone, and was the type you hooked somewhere on your chest for convenience and to talk to a larger audience, but I didn't worry about getting one, he did most of the talking.



And I was skipping up probably 2-3 steps at a time going up the stairs.

Dream 2 : Biology Lab Practical Review

I was in my Biology 112 Laboratory, and apparently we are doing a review for the practical coming soon. I think that this is reviewing the day before the actual practical exam, but it never hit me that I only go to the lab once a week.



The TA that I have starts going over a few questions, so I immediately get my notebook out and try to remember the first question she asked, because someone already answered it. I managed to do so, and I wait for the next review question.

I'm worried that the practical is going to be hard, and then someone tells me that it's actually occurring on Sunday instead of this Thursday (I still don't do a RC because I am completely gullible).

When I heard the practical exam was shifted to Sunday, it was one of the moments where you start to get pissed at yourself for worrying so much over something you thought was going to happen tomorrow.

I almost wanted to cry, and my face was making weird expressions of being shocked. I stretched my mouth to the back a little bit and squint my eyes, and then I move my mouth a bit as if I'm going to stutter because I'm still in shock that the practical is only a few days ahead instead of starting tomorrow.

I believe the dream probably resets again, and this time, I think I'm a little early to class this time, I'm not sure.

The same TA like the one I have for Biology 112, she was bragging on how she made all of the review for us to study, and I could see how childish she looked saying it.

She was happy like she solved the cure for cancer for something, then some random female comes in with a gray hoodie and your typical blue jeans to tell the class that the TA needed help.

The TA turned to her and had the face that said "SHUT UP!!" I think the random female just goes somewhere else, I can't remember if she was laughing back or not.

I'm still sitting down at a lab table, and a DC that I can't remember asks me if I want to hear something funny. I say sure, and they go on to how this person is going out with this girl. They start going on and on, and then a familiar face pops up of what they were talking about.

It was this girl in my Comm App class in High School named Melissa, apparently she's going out with some guy who also looks familar to me. I believe his name was Josh, but I only saw him in Middle School, and I was never friends nor did I talk to him.

The person goes on how this DC that looked like Josh in an over-sized black shirt (he was one of those guys who liked wearing big shirts I believe) wanted to touch Melissa's breast by slowly hugging her.

I get this image of him behind Melissa, getting closer to her, and having his head rested on her shoulder looking down at her breasts, and he hugs her while cupping her breasts.

She realizes this, and pushes him off and asks "What the hell are you doing?" But she looks like she enjoyed it, but just wanted to tease him a little bit or something.

Now that I look back at this dream, I'm annoyed that the person is Melissa/Marissa/Marisa rather than potentially being Alyzarin. It's like my mind just completely teased me with Melissa rather than Alyssa.

Dream 3: Girl in Black Jacket and Pants?

I'm at my University somewhere around Heldenfels I bet, and I just got out of some class since I'm heading towards getting my bicycle.

The setting is afternoon, and the dream is vivid (probably occurred around 6AM-8AM in waking life). I go to my bicycle, and I'm not paying too much attention to the bicycle, I'm just busy putting in the key to unlock the lock.

Then I notice a girl in a black outfit, wearing a small black jacket that is opened, and she looks Hispanic. Her face is slightly radiant, she looked like the person who would have a positive energy.



Her hair was smooth and black, and she was walking with some random dude in a black outfit as well. The dude had a lot of gel applied on his head, and he looked familiar to me as well. The DC reminded me of a guy I knew in Middle School as well named Jordan.

(Again, I never was friends with him, he was just a person I saw in Middle School).

As she's walking down the path that is going downhill, she glances at me for a while. The other guy isn't doing the same, nor are the DCs around me, just her.

For that moment, I looked in her eyes, and felt like she was luring me to just come up to her, but I didn't want to because I thought the guy resting his hands on her shoulder would be her boyfriend. I believe I see the girl again somewhere else in the dream, but I can't remember where.

I honestly think that she was trying to get my attention by making me jealous or something since she was with a guy, but the guy wasn't really that much of a competition for me overall. (sorry, that may be conceited, but I rarely have this type of self-confidence anyway).

I may be paranoid, or maybe I'm over-analyzing the dream, but I sure did feel something from this girl, because if she was able to stop me from trying to unlock my bicycle, and unwinding the loops I made to a bar to keep the bicycle in place, I guess she had something I liked.

Anyway...next dream.

Dream 4: Going to Random House

I'm walking somewhere probably to a random house, because the environment was completely different than the apartment complex I live in near Texas A&M University.The sky is beautiful, at least to me, it was mostly light blue, but it looked like it was going to rain or just going to be windy.



I'm walking down the street, and some DCs are going the same direction as I am as well. I see a Cop car near a stop sign, waiting for us to pass through so he could go along his way. I tried to look beyond the window, but I couldn't see clearly.

I don't know where I'm going at this point, but I reach a random house and go inside, Something I'm holding drops in front of me, and I could tell there were a few DCs behind me. I pick up the items in front of me since they were blocking my way, and I apologized to the DCs behind me.

I look back to see who they were, but all I could recall was a blonde female. She looks as me for a while with her mouth slightly opened, but it was just a reflex of her to look back at me since I looked back at her, so I didn't pay too much attention to why she glanced back.

Dream 5: Secret Facebook link leads to Adult video

I'm in my apartment, it's still slightly dark inside, and I'm only in my underwear, completely ignoring to do reality checks (I don't know what's wrong with me, I think I should just spam RCs now in waking life because if I'm remembering more dreams from keeping a steady dream journal, obviously, there's obviously something I'm doing wrong, or maybe I'm just a freaking incompetent who doesn't do RCs in his dreams).

Anyway, I have my hands on the wall, and apparently, I see an image of a computer screen in front of me. It's like the perspective shifted to where I was on my laptop, but I wasn't doing anything on it. I think the screen was on the wall, and I'm watching the URL box being typed.



It's going to Facebook, but it included some extension that went like this: "-____-" or something like that. The link is completed and it links to some time of XXX Russian anal video subbed in English or something.

The link dissapears, and the video is gone as well. I start worrying because I wanted to see the video, especially since it's on Facebook, it would've been a laugh for others to know about this.

I still have my hands on the wall, looking for another screen to show up for some odd reason. Another screen finally shows up, but the video is now in German, and I get dissapointed.

That dream was somewhat funny, but I feel kind of sad that I was desperate to see the film in the dream.

During a dream last night, I awoke (in the dream I guess) and noticed that there was a bright white orb hovering about 2 feet above my head. I was laying on my side so I was able to make it out via peripheral vision of my left eye. I didn't look directly at it but I saw that my pillow and the wall were illuminated. The next thing I know, I'm in a different dream where this black shadow is attacking my cousin and older brother. It told me that it couldn't attack me because I'm "standing at a different angle...." I was like, "yeah, right. what does that mean? Then it went for my cousin again and I jumped on top of my cousin and somehow repelled the shadow. Interesting dream.

Didn't take any nyquil last night because I would be the only one home this morning and I didn't want to have the kids wake up and me too hard asleep to hear them get up! Unfortunately that means I got little sleep and only a couple of fragments for dreams. I woke up around 6 am, couldn't get back to sleep bc of y stuffy nose, so I got up and read a manga (Kamisama Kiss) while my nose drained and the pressure behind my eye relaxed, then went back to sleep around 7:30. So my first dream was heavily influenced by the reading, lol.

Dream One (Fragment): There's a large white room, with black and white checkered floors, and a couple big columns holding up a balcony. I'm watching from above. There's a man or woman on a slightly raised platform looking very important, with a half-wolf half-human like creature that's standing to their right like their guard (or familiar judging by what happens next) I watch as from under the balcony Tomoe-Dono strolls in, followed by Nanami and the two little shrine spirits. The person on the platform waves a hand and says kill her, and the wolf man's claws suddenly shoot out super length and he runs at Nanami. Tomoe steps in front of her and there's a loud cracking sound and Tomoe blocks the wolf's claws with his own. I wake up bc my daughter is climbing into bed with me.

Dream Two (Fragment): My mom knocks on the front door. She wants to borrow my MP3 player and my tape adapter that allows you to play it in a car that doesn't have a place for an MP3 player but does have a tape player. I am not happy to let her borrow something else, but I do it anyways bc she's my mom and I feel like I have to. She tells me to put it in her friend D's car BC it has the tape deck, but to leave the MP3 player in her truck. I tell her the MP3 player has to be attached to the cord for it to work, and she tells me they are going to roll the windows down and run the cord out the windows. I think this is a stupid idea and tell her she can't possibly stay that close to D as to not rip my cord. She disagrees and does it anyways, making it not even two hundred feet down the road before breaking my cord. I am pissed. I wake up.

Dream ??? (Fragment): Can't remember when in the night this happened or even much about it, just that I was in the woods at night, walking with someone. I feel like we were going somewhere with a purpose, not just leisurely strolling.

Dream ??? (Fragment) : I had to edit my dream journal to add this in, lol. After entering in my journal I logged off and went to facebook, and upon seeing the facebook icon I remembered a dream fragment from last night. I dreamed that my brother was yelling at me for posting that he was home on facebook. He's in the army, and in the dream he was saying no one was supposed to know he was home and he could get in trouble because of my post. I found it really odd that I would dream my brother was home, and even that he was yelling at me about facebook, because he hasn't been home at all this year and I don't get on facebook as much as I used to, even when I do I only post every other day or so. I have no clue where in my sleep cycle this fell.

Last night I had a dream that my family had moved to the neigbouring town of ours, Gibsons, On our way moving there I remember getting stuck in a dirt parking lot, I remember where on the highway it was, it's just that it isnt there, I was with my mom, I found a coat that was almost identical to mine (spare the little piece of fabric attached to the zipper, which i chewed off). We finally got to the house in Gibsons I remember spending the night there. When I woke up the next day we had breakfast, and then my parents left to shop or something. And I went into the garage. A couple guys dropped by, whose faces I couldn't put to a name in real life, but I do remember seeing one of them. We start smoking a huge joint, and i take a couple tokes and just as my parents get home the kids leave, and the huge joint is now a burrito. I ate that burrito, all in all, this was a very very strange dream.

I was looking through games to what must have been either on my computer or on the Xbox Marketplace when I stumbled upon one of my old favorite games. Pokemon Snap. It was actually called "Pokemon Snap" in big yellow letters and "re-made" was inserted in smaller white letters to the right of the main letters. I played it, but it wasn't Pokemon Snap whatsoever. It was a 2D Side-scrolling platform game, and instead of taking pictures of the Pokemon, you have to catch them. I played through the first level when my mom (who was behind me) said something along the lines of "Catch that Arcanine!" It was actually a Growlithe (which is actually a HILARIOUS reference I can't believe my mind did, I hadn't thought of this in forever. If you want to know what it is, go search "Officer Jenny is an idiot" on the internet ^_^) Anyway, I totally failed and didn't even touch the Growlithe. I had actually been ascending and I was fairly high, I jumped from my wagon thing, missed the Growlithe, and fell. I kept going and it was at the VERY end of the level when there were Magnemites emitting from a small pit in the ground. I had to go in it, and at the bottom was a Magneton. Then I woke up

28.2 Fragments
First

I’m in a space shuttle, closing in on a larger ship. When I look down I see the continents, and I see fields, forests and rivers, and a few buildings. The setting is rural, but there is some very advanced technology as well.

Second

I’m in a forest and I have to survive there for a couple of hours, I don’t remember why. There are two or three other people there, and they are the reason survival might be a problem. I have a log to defend myself with and they have sticks. They try to hit me and I block with the log. Then they start playing a game where they pat a small ball around with the sticks. I try to take part, but it’s hard to hit the ball with the log.

Third

I’m outside a large building, almost a castle. There are separate gardens, some have water elements, and walls between the gardens.

Fourth

I’m in the same castle with N and we go to a balcony. There are some tables and chairs, and large open windows with a view of the garden. There is also one window with a very large windowsill. I would like to sit there, on the windowsill, but there is a group of people already sitting there. We settle for a table on the other side.

Fifth

I get tickets to an airplane. I say to S that there is still time for a coffee. When we walk past a coffee shop, there is a long line there and I tell hit that we don’t have time to wait. I think he doesn’t care for the idea anyway


25.2 The Conservationist Wizard and the Missing Boy
First

I’m at a house in the middle of a forest with a group of people. There is a long vehicle with caterpillars and we’re preparing to leave with it. I get in and we tour the are, sometimes going over a wooden bridge and breaking it. The driver is trying to make the point that the are is ruined by pollution. We get out pretty close to the house and I have a look at a pond. There’s some branches and the water looks a bit dirty but not bad. I think we could clean it with the vehicle we have.

The driver, or maybe someone else, goes crouching behind some large rocks, looking at the house. His a soldier now, and clearly more experienced that I am. I follow him and we see a barbarian leader at the house. Somehow his responsible for ruining the forest. The driver gives me a rifle and I attack the barbarian.

The rifle is a wizards staff now, with a clear crystal on top. I point it at the barbarian, who is actually a wizard in a gray robe now. He has a sword but doesn’t use it, and he doesn’t seem to have his staff. He tries to take the staff from me but I keep willing it to stay in my hands. The driver-soldier-wizard-person is actually controlling it from afar. The barbarian-wizard surrenders and we get to settle at the place.

Second

There is a lake with open water, even though it’s winter. I go swimming and I’m a bit surprised to notice that the water is warm.

Third

We’re inside the house now, and there’s a good amount of people there, mostly friends and family. I have a conversation with my brother about my father and then find out that R is missing. They have been looking for him and his presumed dead now. I’m worried but there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do, since it’s been so long and they have looked everywhere.

I try to sleep, I feel really tired, but people keep worrying about R. There is some other thing that they have a problem with, but I don’t remember what. For some reason my bed is in the kitchen and I can hear the talking and worrying very well. I give up sleeping and we all go looking for R one more time.

There is a small river close-by and R has been swimming there. He has used a chain to tie him to the shore, so that the current doesn’t take him. The chain is broken and everyone thinks he has been taken by the current. There is a treehouse just a few meters from the river. When I look at it, someone shouts that R is in there, though there’s no way they could see that. I climb the stairs to the treehouse. Before I get all the way up I hear that there’s someone there. I ask who it is and R answers that he’s there, and that he has some someone in there with him.


21.2, Fragment with Meditation Group

I’m in high hall with winding stairs. I remember coming down the stairs from the third floor but don’t remember much before that. There is a group of people down in the middle of the floor. I know some of them. It’s some kind of a church group. I talk with them and they are talking about some obscure theological thing.

It turns into something like a meditation group and I consider joining them, so far I haven’t had one close by, and I know some of them. They show me a small storage room with all their things, which actually includes a couple cushions and mats and nothing else.

Blair
Noelle and I are with Blair (old friend from New Orleans). Noelle is asking him about his music and album releases.

Dream Reading
I am reading an article on how to induce nausea with an alarm as an aid to stop smoking.

High School Reunion
I am being taken to my high school reunion by a Delta Airlines driver who is very unpleasant. I arrive at the reunion, having forgotten that it was supposed to be a black tie affair. I realize I am wearing jeans and a tshirt. I went straight from the airport to the event, so I am hectically trying to find a little black dress and high heels.

I was at some sort of banquet it seemed. I was in a giant, ornate room with lots of long tables set up everywhere. There was food everywhere. But then I looked, and at the end of each table something caught my attention; there was a basket of pot goodies, either little rice krispie square-like contraptions or cookies. This got me excited, and I went around to each table and grabbed as many as I possibly could and shoved them into my pockets.

---

I was at some sort of ranch. It seemed to be some sort of field trip. The counsellors were telling us that we were going riding. We were to pick a horse. The horses were randomly spread out, tied up to random fences. As I looked at the horses, I noticed that some were odd colors. I saw a lot of really bright orange ones. I thought it was a little strange but it didn't bother me too much.

I was sitting down somewhere and thinking about which horse I should take, and then about tightening its saddle. I then remembered that I didn't have a helmet. I knew I had a helmet back in my cabin but I didn't want to have to go all the way back, and I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to mount and ride over to the cabin to grab it. I also didn't really want to use one of theirs. I spent a good portion of the dream trying to decide what to do.

---

I was on some sort of massive playstructure thing. It was like the one at my old school, all wooden, but tens of sizes bigger. I was with someone, and we were playing some sort of game, but it was like being in a video game. I don't remember the goal other than running away from someone. At one point we were at the top part of this playstructure thing, and one of the people we were trying to avoid found us. Me and the other person had no choice but to jump down. We jumped down the platform through some odd opening, and dived into two separate side by side pools. The feeling of flying was awesome, and I was somehow comfortable with the fact that I had just jumped several stories into a shallow pool of water and didn't feel a thing.
