non-lucid

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

I heard about some sacred temple where I could seek some guidance from the sages, but it was located in a hidden valley. I had to go to the top of a mountain (a long, risky journey) and there find the path to the secret valley.
I met two other warrior ladies who were also seeking that temple and together we decided to make the journey. We found some guy with a truck, willing to take us to that mountain. He was handsome looking, blond, eastern European type, but a bit rude. When we finally reached near the peak of the mountain, he dropped us off, saying he couldn't go any further - the truck could not pass that road; even walking there was a bit dangerous. Then he asked us for four times the price agreed, arguing that if we didn't pay, he wouldn't come back for us. I refused to pay more than what previously agreed, but the other two girls were seriously considering it. They really wanted the ride back. I couldn't care less. I would find a way, but I would want to go back with him anymore. So, with the guy yelling at me and making all sorts of threats, I got off of the truck and went look for the mysterious path to the secret valley.
Soon after, the two other girls followed me. We were at the very peak of the mountain which was encircled by a cloud sheet a hundred meters below us. There was apparently no path leading anywhere, but I finally saw what seemed like a vertical path behind some rock, down the scarp. I thought I could see what seemed to be a rope ladder. They weren't very convinced, but I made a dangerous bet and climbed down the rock until I found indeed a rope ladder. I told them to follow me and soon we were slowly descending through the ladder.
After maybe 100 mts or so, we reached a platform carved in the rock. We were at the very altitude where the clouds encircled the mountain. I looked around and saw some oval shaped, black obsidian steps going down into the mist. I waited for the girls to reach the platform too, when I was surprised by 4 figures in white hooded capes slowly approaching from within the cloud. They seemed to be wearing masks, but it could just be they had very white faces with strong features, I don't know. They seemed to come to welcome us, but before it happened, I woke up.

It was late at night and I was driving to someone’s house in Seattle. I wasn’t exactly sure who the person was or why I was going there but I felt nervous about it. I pulled over, got out of my car, and had to walk down a dark street where darker alley ways and bums polluted my path. When I got to the house I walked through the back door. I made a straight line through the house all the way to the front door. On my way I witnessed a murder but pretended as though I wasn’t bothered by what I saw so that I too wouldn’t get killed. As I made my way to the front deck a man gave me an object with brick like dimensions that appeared to be tightly packed in a black garbage bag like substance. It was obvious what I was being handed. It was a ginormous brick of cocaine. I was given an address and told that I was to deliver that brick there. I quickly agreed and walked off. Curiosity got the best of me and I opened it a little to “taste test” it. A bum me and what I possessed. I put the brick in my black purse and began walking very quickly to my car up the hill. The bum was now chasing me. He got to me and tried to yank the bag out of my hands. I pulled the bag right back and began yelling at neighboring people to help, shouting things like “this bum is trying to steal my bag!!” Some people came and helped. I ran to a bus. It was now light outside. I hopped on the bus and so did the bum. We fought for the bag again but I won and the men on the bus helped. Everyone, including the bus driver, was on my side. I sat on a seat alone. The bus driver was pulling down a famous dock that seemed to wiggle as you drove and this made the passengers nervous. We all laughed. The bus driver noticed that police had been fallowing them since I got on the bus. I assured the bus driver that it must have been because of the bum and the driver agreed. I grew nervous. At one point on the dock I looked out and navy ships, several squad cars, and police helicopters were all waiting for the bus to pull over. I began “magically” breaking up the brick into smaller bags and stuffing them into my bra and underpants. I told the driver to let me off at the next stop but to keep the bum on for a few stops after me so that he didn’t try to rob me again. The dream cuts to a scene of the man who handed me the brick talking to some of his associates. He apparently set me up to see if I could handle myself well. If so, he was going to make me his mule. I was very angry about this. Dream cuts to a scene later. I have broken out of prison and blaise is with me. There is a puppy in prison too but he dies from a radiation related injury and I am incredibly sad for the little dog.

#8

I was in a school I had never seen before. For some reason this kid got mad at me and wanted to fight but I didn't want to in the school. Then I went to what were apparently dorm rooms and was hanging out with the usual friends plus a few that I don't remember, when that kid (Who I think switched identities throughout the fight) came to the house from the roof. While he was saying whats up to the people I went and took a piss (only in the dream thankfully) and when I came back in the room he was sitting down talking to whoever. I started talking to somebody and eventually the subject came up and I asked him if he was gonna fight and he said, "Whenever, just let me know." I replied with right now, and he seemed taken aback. At this point somebody informed me that he was a Tae Bo master and showed me a video of him doing martial arts (I googled it because I didn't know what it was its some work out video thing haha) I just said fuck whatever. He stood up and came up to me and a friend and somehow me the friend or him made a joke and we were all laughing and almost had a friend vibe thing going on, but then we ended up fighting anyway. I forget how it starts but Basically the whole fight I'm punching him in the face and he is trying to wrestle slamming me this way and that, but I always am able to get up without getting stuck. My punches don't seem to do any damage though and it was making me extremely mad, and eventually really tired (which I didn't know could happen in a dream). All of a sudden I realize I'm dreaming and immediately try to stabalize by rubbing my hands together but I wake up anyway. Damn.

It's been quite some time since my last DJ post.
I'll try to be more active on DV again, and I'll probably post some of the dreams I had during my absence.


Random music for no good reason:


The day before this dream I had surgery on my foot.
Nothing serious, but I still needed a massive bandage and pain meds for the healing process.
This made it rather uncomfortable to sleep, and sure enough, after just ~6 hours of sleep I woke up.

The pain wasn't bad as long as I didn't move... however that's exactly what I wanted to do.
I must have slept in an awkward position because my left leg (where I've gotten surgery on) was very tired.
I didn't want to move though, because I knew it would hurt.
The pain meds were on my desk where I left them, out of reach without getting up.

I just wanted to go back to sleep, but it just didn't seem to work.
The strain on my left leg kept me awake, just barely... I kept drifting in and out of consciousness.
This was coupled with random thoughts that didn't make much sense.

I kept trying though, and after some time, in a brief moment of clarity, I noticed that I was feeling vibrations all over my body.
I knew this feeling all too well, because it happens quite often when I attempt to WILD.
I haven't done that in a while, but for some reason I thought that because of this I could now transition into a dream.
(I wasn't really thinking clearly)

I try to levitate out of bed as a means to separate my dream body from my physical body.
At this point I can clearly feel the existence of both.
It seems like the stronger the vibrations, the less I feel my physical body.
Attempting to levitate seems safer to do, because I don't run the risk of moving my physical body.

I slowly start to drift upwards.
There is no more gravity and the blanket is gone.
I land on my bed and start rubbing my hands in fear of loosing the dream.
It is only then that I realize that I've just cheated my way into sleeping... sort of... well not really, but I'm asleep, that's all that counts.
I check my foot and it's all normal. No bandages, nothing.

It's rather dark. I was hoping rubbing my hands would fix this, but it didn't.
I flick the light switch in my room, but nothing happens.
Meh, would have been too easy.
Afraid to see myself in bed I leave by jumping out of the window.
(Seeing myself makes me uncomfortable and has woken me up in the past.)

I land softly and walk into the street in the hopes of the dream being lit up by the streetlights.
But it doesn't help.
I don't want to wake up, I want to stay asleep as long as possible.
This is why I'm afraid to try spinning, or use other techniques to change the scene... if I fail I could wake up.

I rub my hands again.

"Oh come-on, work already!"

It doesn't.

I try to make it rain with my mind, thinking it won't work because the dream is unstable. (dark)
But for some reason it does.
I feel the rain drops on my skin, and as the feeling becomes more intense, the dream finally becomes properly lit.

(Rain has been an amazing tool to keep my dreams stable in the past. The constant feeling of raindrops keeps my senses focused in the dream)

I decide to slowly walk through the street and see if I find something interesting.
I'm too afraid to attempt to teleport somewhere else. If I mess it up and wake up there's no way I'll be able to fall back asleep.

Suddenly, I realize that I have changed location.
I am now in Germany, in front of a friends house.
How did that happen?

My friend C. comes out of the house.

"Can't sleep either huh?"

It's weird hearing him speak perfect English. We talk German with each-other in waking life.

"What are you talking about? You're not making any sense, this is a dream."

He looks confused but shrugs it off.

"I have to show you something, follow me."

I follow him into his room where he points at his tv.
There's a newscast... something about another dimension merging with our's.
It's rather confusing. It quickly becomes apparent that it's about the dream plane though.
It is merging with the waking world.

This confuses the hell out of me, I'm fully aware I'm dreaming, but the whole situation is built around being awake.
Then I spot Faye on the couch. She makes me a sign to stay quiet, not to tell that I know about the dream plane.

"Can you believe this? This is so weird! Do you have any idea what this is?"
"Ehhh, haha, yeah... it is weird, isn't it?"

Probably the most unconvincing thing I've said in my entire life.
I wonder why Faye wants me to stay quiet about this...

... I am now at the location where the tv broadcast is occurring.
It's in some sort of park, I don't think I know this place.
There's some sort of spatial disturbance in the air, and I can see spirits from the dream plane trying to cross over.
It's a rather surreal experience. (at this point I actually believe that this is really happening.)
I try to spot Yuya on the other side in the hopes that she can cross over but I can't find her.

My friend is there again, rambling a bunch of nonsense... that we're all going to die among other things.

Spirits are now crossing over and materialize on our side. Some politicians have appeared and are greeting them,
and welcoming them into our world.
Other people are protesting the situation, waving signs with the word "Spirit" crossed out.

"HEY!"
"Faye!... What?"
"Snap out of it!"

The scene freezes, except for Faye and myself.
She grabs my hand and drags me away.
I realize that I drifted out of lucidity.

"I thought you were trying to stay asleep, what the hell are you doing?"
"Err... yeah. I nearly lost it there."
" "nearly" huh? "

We arrive at some sort of cafe and we stop at a table.
Faye looks like she's about to scold me.

"I know, I know... constant awareness."
"That's right."
"But it's difficult right now, I have an injury in the other life."
"Excuses!"
"Maybe..."

A waiter brings us a coffee and Faye hands it to me.

"Drink! This will help."

I drink the coffee and it feels like the caffeine rushes directly into my head.
I am now thinking clearly and my vision is perfectly fine even though it's still night.

I walk down the street with Faye and we talk about a few things.
She's trying to keep me asleep.
After some time I realize a minor oddity.

"So... technically I'm talking to myself right now eh?"
"I've told you before, it's quite a bit more complicated than that."
"That's quite an understatement. I know you've tried to explain it before, but I still don't really get it."
"You have a good idea, that's enough."
"But I want to know more."
"You don't understand every detail of the universe either, yet it doesn't prevent you from living in it just fine."
"It doesn't prevent me from trying to understand every last detail of it either."

She smiles.

The street abruptly ends. There's nothing but darkness behind it.
I turn around. Darkness is catching up with us, there's maybe another 10 meters of street left.

"End of the line Hyu."
"Aww, I don't want to wake up."
"It's alright, you've been asleep for a long time, it's nearly time to get up anyways."

That makes me feel a lot better.

"Bye bye, Hyunkell-san"

I reply in a funny way:

"Goodbye, dreamguide-o-saaan"

She sticks her tongue out in a cute way and laughs.

I wake up. It's been over 7 hours since I went to bed, so I decide to get up.
To my surprise, moving my foot doesn't hurt nearly as a bad as I thought it would.

Me and a group of male people from my place of education were all dressed in military clothing and we was inside some kind of flying vehicle. One of them said something about an attractive woman and there were these weird flashes of where I live. A part of the vehicle opened up and we had to jump. I woke up before then.

I remember having a dream where I was floating above the Earth without my body and I could see in panorama! As a matter of fact, I was able to see FAR better than I could while in my body and wearing glasses....... I was almost out of Earth's orbit when I got scared because I didn't know anything about space or where to go--and it felt cold. Then something yanked me ALL THE WAY back down to Earth, through the roof of my apartment, and smack dab into my body which was sleeping in bed. It fkn hurt! It really did.... I awoke immediately and I still felt the tingling sensations in my palms, fingers, legs, etc. from slamming into my body. It took a few minutes for the sensations to go away completely. I'm surprised it didn't kill me, lol.....

So, this is my first day with a dream after my start about one week ago. I don't know if you read it, before I only remembered dreams like 5 a year or so.

I was using the "Singularity Experience" app in beginner mode (DELID mode). I woken up about 4:30am, when the app rang. I only thought, wtf, I'll quit the app, don't need the sound. Seems not working.

Maybe after that,cant say that exactly, I dreamed I was at school and my friend or class mate says something like "Mr. [Teachername], I think n00b should get a F, because he always forgets his pencil case". It was in arts lesson. In RL, I don't forget that stuff. After the dream I woke up, but fall asleep again. Maybe it was a false awakening, I really don't know and forget reality check.

Some hours later my normal alarm started, and I only knew that little above. A few minutes later, I thought only how dumb I was, not trying to get lucid after waking up from that dream and why I quitted the app. Will continue.

in a house. trying to get out. can't get out w/o going through a bedroom.

February 14, 2012
I remembered two full dreams and one dream fragment last night although my two full ones were short and not very vivid, it still counts

1) Dream Fragment- the whole dream took place in the locker room of some football team. I think there was a murder. The coach might have been angry. I can also recall seeing a black bag.

2) My second dream was basically a false awakening, although I as never lucid beforehand. It started with me waking up in my bed and sitting up so I can write something down- maybe a dream. I looked around for a second and the room was dark, so I tried to turn on the lights. However, when I tried to turn the switch they wouldn't turn on. I was confuse as to why that was, and wondered if the lights had gone out. Finally I turned the switch again and after a few seconds the bulb lit up. I should have realized this was a dream because the whole light thing basically screamed "this is not real!" but I guess I'll need a little more practice.

3) My final dream was also short and was cartoon-style. It had to do with Spongebob. Some new employee came and started to work at the Krusty Krab. It later became evident that he was, in fact, a cannibal and was bent on eating everyone. I'm not sure but he might have eaten Spongebob, squid ward, and Mr. Krabs. It then skips to a new scene where the cannibal guy opend the restaurant and it looks different- almost Asian style. The customers have to sit on these platform things that when they were sat on they turned into ovens. Everyone starts roasting, although they are completely oblivious, and the cannibal (and maybe a few friends) start to devour everyone. I then wake up.

I was in either a house or an empty hotel room. There was a TV with two DDR mats set up under it. my brother and I started to play, but I wished they were the metal plates like in arcades. Then I looked down and the mats were on top of the metal arcade stands. We took the mats off and started to play.

I was in my 6th period class just drinking a dr pepper and not really doing any work and then we got released. for some reason I took a different path and walked outside to the front side of the school when I normally walk around the back. I went out a side door and started walking along the front of the school. As I started getting close to the courtyard that is kinda hidden next to the library I heard people in there. I looked in and saw a couple of friends fro the next town over and a friend in one of my classes. They were kicking around a hacky sack and were all skilled much more than they usually are. I had a free 7th period so I decided to join them. We all played for a while and even I was better than normal. I eventually realized that if I stayed there too long playing I would play right through my free period and miss the bus. I mentioned that to one of my friends from the next town and he said he would take me home. We kept kicking and passing the bag, dropping it a few times of course but much less than usual, until I woke up.

I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom and my little brothers came in. The mirror above the sink turned into a tv, and MLP was on. There was a new OP also, and the theme song was changed a little. My dad heard me talking about it and came in. He gave me a whole thing about how it's unhealthy for me to watch the show. I tried to explain but he wouldn't listen.*

I took a nap since my daughter had me up several hours earlier than usual this morning, and managed to dream then as well. I dreamed of a mall trip, and I'm pretty sure that was because I had just talked about a mall dream to another DV member in a message before I went to nap. The dream starts out with my best friend and her husband, my husband, my two kids, and I all somehow squeezed into a truck. Not a tiny truck, but a larger one, at least as big as a ford 250 if not bigger. My BFF says she wants to go to the mall, and her husband says he'll drive us there if my husband and I will give him directions. We tell him that we will, and to just keep going straight because he's already going the right way. We come to a stop light, and he turns right. We ask him what he's doing, and he says he's trying to figure out where to go since we're not telling him. We tell him he was going the right way and he needs to turn back around. He turns around and this time when we tell him to go straight he takes a left and we make him turn around again. We finally arrive with no troubles after that. We get out of the truck and go into the mall. As we step through the doors, we hear a woman scream. We all stop and then see a security guard running towards us. They ask us if anyone has come through there, and we tell them no. There's a woman still screaming, but this time in anger and she's saying, "I know that little punk went this way, they're just covering for her! Don't ya'll lie to me now, where is she? She stole something from me!" We shake our heads and insist we didn't see anyone, and the security guard lets us go without any more questions. But then I heard a noise, like someone shushing someone else and someone whispering, "Hide!" I look to my left and there's this strange decorative cabinet there, and I think the sounds came from there. So I motion to my bff to watch the cabinet while I walk back to the security guard and tell him someone's hiding in it. He nods and tells us he'll check it out as soon as we walk away so if there's trouble we won't get caught in it. As soon as we're about ten feet away, I hear loud knocking and the guard saying, "I know your in there now come out before I have to drag you out!" and then there's shuffling and the sound of a fight as we quickly turn the corner to get away before the kids see it. My best friend and my husband are pushing our kids in stroller, and I'm walking next to my husband and my bff's husband is walking next to her. When we are around the corner I can tell the mall looks much different than usual. There are two sets of elevators and not just one. There are a lot more people than usual. There's also this golden brown lighting in the whole place. Like the lights are behind golden fixtures, and instead of drywall all the walls are finished wood paneling. It's really beautiful, but I hate crowds so I'm instantly uncomfortable. We start to walk to the right and walk by some people who's hair attracts my attention. There are several of them and their hair is black and forest green, and they have it styled in spiky hair styles, but the styles are different for each of them. I went through a blue hair phase a couple years ago, and a red hair stage last year, so I'm wondering how they get their hair to look so freshly dyed as crazy colors fade fast, and they start sneering at me like they're pissed and I realize staring isn't nice. Then a male friend of mine bumps into us. He says hey, nice to see you kind of pleasantries, then asks if we know where the bathroom is. I do, and I offer to show him where it is. He thanks me, and I leave my group to show him to the bathroom. When we get to the bathrooms, they are really different, there is a whole lobby like area in front of them, complete with a fancy flavored coffee machine. My friend goes into the bathroom, and I see the coffee machine but no register. I walk over to it, where there's a man already getting coffee. I ask him if the coffee is free as I grab a cup. He doesn't say anything, so I start to pour some coffee into my cup and a voice from behind the coffee machine says, "No, it costs." and I realize there's a register hidden behind the coffee machine. I say, "Oh sorry!" and set my cup down and run off as fast as I can because my money is in my bag with my husband and kids. I end up in front of the escalator and think about going downstairs to find my family, when I find myself thinking I need to look for K while I'm here. I turn back around to go look for K instead of my family, when I run into the friend who was in the bathroom. He's also running out of the lobby, and he says they tried to make him cashier in the lobby, I ask why thinking maybe they were going to make him work off the coffee I set down instead of paying for, and he says "Because the cashier took his stinky shoes off and put them in the bathroom. Now it smells to bad to go in. I complained, and told them I'd do a better job." I am relieved and tell him that he needed a job, he should take it. Then I tell him I'm looking for someone, and he says he'll help. He walks beside me for a bit as I just wander around and then go down the escalator. He doesn't follow me downstairs, and I'm wandering around some more, then realize that my shirt is getting shorter... like I'm practically popping out shorter. I freak out and run to the downstairs bathroom and call my BFF. I tel' her I was looking for K while I was away from the group for a while, but then my shirt started shrinking and I really need her to buy me a bigger shirt so I can come out of the bathroom! She arrived pretty quickly, and gives me a shirt and talks and laughs at me as I am changing shirts. Then we walk out of the bathroom and in the bathroom lobby is our husbands and my kids. That's when I woke up!

Spent tonight trying to WILD, my recall suffered a little because of this I'm guessing.

11:15am

I practiced detaching my mind from my body, I have trouble doing it so I thought I could practice before going to sleep. I noticed some really strange things happening... I don't mean to come off as spiritual or anything I'm just describing what i experienced.. I would fade in an out between a point where I couldn't keep my thoughts quiet and relaxation and disconnected from my body (as in not concerned about external senses) at one point I saw something on a shelf and went to pick it up, and got quite a shock because it was my dream hand!

It made me realize how close being awake and dreaming is, I think it was definitely progress ;D

Chase
I can barely remember this dream and I'm basically writing what is written with a few added things I can remember. I'm driving, with the cast from criminal minds as passengers, this area was closed off for the valentines public holiday (?) I turn around and see its raining. someone is still working here, a teenage girl. we go to a crime scene. someone takes off starting a chase. we go into an odd-shaped room. there is a window and I go out to see a pool with stained timber decking, and someone asking about my sister and how much she has grown.

Fragment: Something about loads of urns.. some fat guy in a blue shirt was there.. i think his name was luke.

2:50am

woke up right after a dream... not sure which one it was or even if i remember it. tried to WILD, failed.

Barf
I'm at my house. I have some ice cream and realize I didn't save any for my sister and uncle (?) I the ice cream that was left over, and put in some jelly looking stuff, some sprinkles and for some reason I was straining pasta and all this water went into the ice cream... I looked at what I had made... then threw them away

8:30am
------
3:30pm

Went for a nap to try WILD again. failed. managed to remember a dream though ;D

Unoriginal
I'm at the mall down the road. I remember wearing a blue shirt I got from EB Games. I was waiting in line for something (where shingle inn should be not sure if that's where I was) I noticed more and more people wearing blue shirts.. I noticed a friend of mine was wearing one too, I got out of the line and said hi to him
