non-lucid

First off i'd like to say my father passed away when i was 13 and i am now 18, this is the second dream i've ever had with him in it, the first being a very similar dream a few nights ago.

I was sitting in the passenger seat of my dad's pickup truck which was parked outside of a clearly abandoned old house that seemed very familiar. My dog(which was actually my IRL friend's dog, Kane) was sitting in my lap with his leash in my hand. I finally recognized this house as one i'd seen in a dream before and remembered my dad telling me it was haunted(in the dream i just thought of it as an actual memory, not a dream). I had no idea why we were there, but that didn't matter at the time. We entered the house and it was different than last time. It was carpeted rather than having half-broken wood floors and the ceilings seemed lower. The basement of the small house where we were heading, just like the last time we were there. As we entered the musty room my dad let Kane roam free off his leash while we did whatever we had to do. We were just looking around, observing things. I started to hear strange noises such as doorbells and people calling my name all around me so we decided it was time for us to head out of there. We got Kane back on his leash and headed upstairs. Right as we were about to exit the house, Kane broke off his leash and ran back into the basement. Afraid of losing our dog my dad and I rushed back downstairs to look for him. He was crawling through some small cracks that we couldn't reach him in, but we finally got him out. After we got back upstairs to the front of the house the same thing happened again only my dad told me to stay here this time. I was waiting for a long while standing in the middle of the living room looking down the stairs hoping to see my dad,s familiar face. I grew nervous and decided to go downstairs. My dad was trying to get Kane out of another small area and then i noticed an old laptop i had never seen before. I told my dad about it and he said i could have it. I didn't want the laptop though i only wanted to see what was on it. I clicked the shortcut for the internet, but it turned out the icon was only an alias for some program that actually deleted the internet. "Oh well" i thought and went to help my dad rescue Kane. I looked back at the laptop and it was playing Minecraft by itself and i found it very amusing. Kane was back on his leash by the time i was done watching Minecraft play itself and we left the house after what seemed to be a few hours of being there. I still have no idea what we were doing there and what the significance of this dream, if any, is.

I've been trying to remember my dreams without writing them down but it seems statistically speaking we remember more when typing or writing so I will start this DJ. I'm writing these down from my Job which is about two hours from the actual dream so in the beggining I wont be able to recall much, Anyways.

Today I dreamt I was in my car on the way to a house i've never visited before. Once i got there, this lady who i've also never met or atleast dont think i have, since this dream was a little hazy but long, greeted me at the door and allowed me to come in. She showed me around and next thing I know we were leaving to go somewhere. I could remember the car ride being a series of highways and roads. The dream skipped to the destination and it seemed to resemble a mall or school. I Woke up at this point but quickly fell back asleep and resumed the dream The lady I was with was gone and I found myself wondering around seeing a lot of people but not really noticing anyone in particular. At one point I stood in the middle of a plaza and some kids started talking to me (cant remember what they said). I woke up after the conversation.

A second Dream I had, I was taking care of someones house or acting as a security guard for a museum of sorts. This museum was weird because their were famous people hanged up on the wall but they looked perfectly fine, not dead like or anything. I was staring at this woman who was pretty damn fine and I just couldnt resist but fondle her breast I was on the couch watching tv with the woman i just touched acting on the screen. My alarm sounded shortly after...

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

It was night. My mom, one of my nephews, and I stood outside under some kind of shelter, like the shelter over a gas pump island at a gas station. But this shelter was lower, and it seemed a lot brighter underneath, like it was lit with incandescent lights.

There was a lot of stuff under the shelter, like stuff out of a house. The shelter also seemed to be connected either to a house or to a grocery store.

My mom and I had probably come from whatever place the shelter was connected to. I was probably getting ready to leave the shelter altogether, maybe because I felt I needed to.

But now a car like my little brother's car came driving toward me from the building, as if it had been inside the building. The car stopped. It may actually have been driverless. The doors opened. Something like a gust of cold wind may have come out of the car.

I suddenly got the feeling that my actions were hurting somebody's feelings. It may have been my brother. But it may have been a woman, possibly a relative of mine.

I started shivering. Then I started getting a really weird feeling, like I was melting inside. My emotions and my sensations all began quivering and getting really weird. I was shuddering and rubbing my arms. Then I collapsed.

People, probably including my mom, may have helped me up. They may have walked me into the building, which was now a grocery store, although it was supposed to be a hospital.

I was laid down on a hospital bed that was partly walled-off from the grocery store by a hospital room privacy curtain. The space I was in was cluttered.

I had been told that I had gone through the weird physical moment because I had been dehydrated. I knew that my being dehydrated had something to do with the car.

I don't think I felt terribly tired or bad. I may even have been standing up and walking around. But I had been told I had to stay at the place because the doctors were still observing me, making sure I wasn't suffering anymore of the effects of being dehydrated.

At some point a doctor may have come in to see me. The doctor may have been a woman. Or, possibly, after a male doctor had seen me, a female nurse may have come in to see me.

Whoever the woman was, at some point she was so close to me that it was like she was embracing me. She began telling me something about how some other woman, another doctor or another nurse, was either jealous of the woman or jealous of me.

My dream recall has been horrible lately it seems like my dreams just keep getting less vivid every day. Anyway I had a short full dream and two dream fragments. Here they are:

1) This dream was like a false awakening again. I 'got up' from a dream and wrote it down in my journal. Too bad when I got up for real I found out that it never happened

2) Fragment: not a lot here but I know it had something to do with a mars rover excavating rocks.

3) Fragment: this was another false awakening but I can't remember much. Just the aspect of waking up. The rest is all fuzzy.

I am determined to get better dream recall! If anyone has tips I would love to hear them

Edit* I remembered something today. I was in class at school talking to my English teacher. At one point she offered me a baked potato that was sitting on her desk because she wasn't going to eat it. O.o

3rd: I was at school in the changing rooms. The changing room was where the lower school art room is and it was much smaller. I was there with Tom Franklin and Josh clingo (two of my friends) + random backround People. I'm asked me if I had brought my kit. I didn't reply but Tom asked Mr Burn (Douche bag PE teacher) - mrs chapman was there for some reason - something about the kits. Mr burn replied something what meant that I would get in trouble so I said "I have my kit apart from the shoes". But he still replies that I would get in trouble.

2nd: Me and a girl named (I have no idea how to spell it) wrayleen were walking to school (which was the East Grinstead Sainsburys) and wrayleen asked me if I wanted to go round her house before school so I could "walk around". I agreed to this and it turns out her house was in the middle of the Sainburys car park. We went inside and I stood in the hallway while she went off in the house. It was about 1 minute until she came back and we both went to go outside again. There were two sets of steps leading to the front door. One carpeted, one stone. The carpeted set had three steps whilst the stone only had one. To get out I used the carpeted Set but as I put my feet on the top step, wrayleens mum shouted out something bad about stepping on the carpeted steps. I replied "sorry I didn't know" and then uses the stone step to get out. Me and wrayleen walked about 5m away from her house and then the dream ended.

1st: We (my friend group at school) were in a geography room at lower school. But the group were divided into two separate groups. Both the groups were sitting around a table, filling up every gap with a chair. I was in the back right group with elliot west gate and Stuart Cameron (2 friends) and some others. The other group, at the front left of the room next to the door, was either Jordan Fordsmith or Josh Clingo (2 other friends) and some others. Both groups were talking about leaving someone out. When that someone (either Josh or Jordan) entered the room the dream ended.

A thing to add is that, in all dreams the sky was pale and Cloudy.

1st:

I tried using mnemonics to remember my dreams. It helped me remember more dreams but with bad recall.

1
I was in a dark building with a group of children. We went down stairs and they discussed ways to get out. The only kid who actually tried to escape was Stan (South Park). Parents arrived and wanted to take their children out of there but Stan was missing. He got punished for trying to escape but I'm not sure how.
Outside I saw parked cars of the rich parents. I noticed a yellow sports car.

2
I was standing next to the front door of my dads house. I saw a cigar shaped UFO passing by. I opened the door and told my dad I saw a UFO. When he stepped outside, it was already gone. I told him something about why I saw them frequently and why he didn't.
I saw light flashes in the sky and street. People were sending signs into the sky with fire and other things that lit up. Not just in my street but everywhere.

3
I was repairing my bike. My brother was also there.

4
I evolved in Human-Age and people told me I could have waited a little longer.

5
I was in a pink room with chairs that looked like thrones. The backs of the thrones almost reached the ceiling. Everyone wore extravagant clothes. Mostly dresses with weird hats. Alice (Alice in Wonderland) was also there. She was bored. All they did was drink tea and talk about unimportant stuff.

6
I was in a mental institution. They were gaming and I joined them. There was some kind of bug in the game that made others unable to move in the game. The only person who could play was me. I tried to score as much as possible but it didn't really interest me.

I was looking for an outlet to plug in something but I couldn't find it. There was something similar and I stared at it.
A girl in the corner said: "It's here, stupid". I plugged in something but didn't even know what it was.
I told the girl: "Not finding an outlet doesn't make me stupid." Her grin faded because she didn't expect me to respond.

A girl who sat in a closet asked me if I ever wanted any piercings. I told her I wanted to get a side of my lip pierced and she seemed to approve. I also said I didn't do it because I didn't want to damage my teeth. A different girl said she removed hers for that reason.

I turned around and found myself in a different room but still in the same building. A man asked me something I couldn't hear him because there was too much background noise. I told him I couldn't hear what he said because I hear everything at once and find it hard to focus on one person. I also said I had that problem because my brains don't filter most stimuli because I have Asperger's Syndrome.
A boy said he had Dyslexia and also had the problem but used medication to get rid of it.
I said I never want to take any medication. Everyone around me looked at me like I was crazy. I could hear them thinking I was arrogant and that I had to change to be 'normal'. I didn't really care about what they thought.

A friendly looking girl went upstairs with me. Upstairs, I saw people dancing around and having pillowfights. I went to my room. My roommate sat on her bed. She was really cute and sweet looking and had long brown hair. Her side of the room was painted in different pastel colors. The other girl asked me if I wanted to paint my side of the room. I shook my head and said "I like white, especially when I want to sleep.".

This is just a small fragment from the morning. There was a lot more, but I didn’t stay awake for long enough to go trough it and so I’ve forgotten it.

I’m in a detective story situation, at the end when the detective tells everybody who the murderer was. Most people involved are actors and I’ at a filming set. I’m probably working for the police, but basically I’m just observing. The detective tells us that the murderer is the lead role actor, and he knows this because he saw the actor shoot the victim. In the dream, I’m actually impressed by this.

I was at school in some random classroom. We were receiving our exams apparently. I apparently got an English exam back. Someone was telling me that I had done really poorly, and for some reason Mrs. B. had taken it and marked it differently so that I ended up with 85%. I had expected to do better and was bawling my eyes out. I then explained to the two people (whom I cannot remember) that my meds were making me really emotional, which is why I was so sad at that moment.

---

I was supposedly at the back of my current school. There was a massive field, but at the end was a river. Across the river was the back of my old school. I was with one of my classes, and we were by the river. I looked at my old school, and suddenly a garbage can near the back door of it burst into flames. We were all watching it now. We thought that the garbage can would go out since it wasn't that close to the door, but then the door suddenly started burning too. Then the whole school was up in flames.

I was confused as to how that had happened in the first place. Then, suddenly, I was thinking about how my school couldn't possibly ignite since it was all the way across a field and a river. Then I saw a single wandering spark fly away from the massive fire, all the way over the river and the field, and land ever so conveniently land on our back door and somehow light the whole school within a split second. Fear struck my heart; we were trapped and had no escape, especially with the speed at which the fire grew. Then it ended.

This video was posted the night before this dream on reddit.
It got me really curious about Burning Man and I read up on it before going to bed.


I'm driving home.
I decide to take the country road, which I love.
It's nearly always empty and is full of corners with very good visibility.
In other words it's quite safe to drive really fast, and you barely ever go over the speed limit doing so.

A village is coming up so I attempt to slow down, but something is wrong.
The brakes are fading... badly!
I'm going downhill struggling to stop, the brakes aren't biting.
I enter the village quite a bit too fast but manage to come to a full stop after quite some distance.

What happened? I haven't had any brake fading since I changed to aftermarket brakes, and I wasn't even pushing them that hard.
Plus brakes don't just loose all their bite that quickly, they would have gradually started fading.
I get out of the car to check on the brakes and the pads are quite literally on fire.

No way... I try to recall if I was racing, but even if I was this couldn't possibly happen.
I get back in the car still trying to remember my driving, and start driving slowly to cool the brakes down.
I can't seem to recall my driving at all.

And then it hits me. I'm dreaming!
I immediately remember Burning Man and decide to go there.
I close my eyes, and imagine myself walking on the Playa.
Why did I close my eyes? I can teleport with my wings, this seems unsafe.

I open my eyes and find myself already at Burning Man.

"Huh... that was easy..."

I notice a woman in front of me, staring at me quite intensely.

"No, it wasn't. I brought you here."

Interesting.
I scan her aura to see if it is Faye messing with me, but I quickly realize it is not her.
It's the "hibiscus girl": Another mysterious woman / Emotional and sensory overload - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views
The last two times she was wearing clothes with a hibiscus drawn on them, but this time she's wearing the actual flower behind one of her ears.

"Well... hello there."
"Come!"

She grabs my hand and drags me away.
She blinks the both of us a considerable distance ahead, and we end up in a location where people have set up all sorts of art pieces.

"Beautiful, isn't it?"

I investigate all the pieces carefully.
They are very different from each other, but every one is beautiful in its own individual way.
There's everything from over-sized mechanical spiders shooting flames to tiny crystal sculptures.

She grabs my hand again, and gives me this look that clearly states that she is in control.
This is the second time she just dragged me into another dream.
I don't really mind, because I find her very interesting, and her presence is... quite arousing.
She's extremely attractive and quite sensual.
I'm drawn towards her.
But I sill feel the need to be at least partially in control of what is going on.

"We're going to climb that sculpture"

She points at a tubular structure.
I resist the dragging and she looks at me.
I stare deeply into her eyes and grab strongly onto her arm.

"No, we're not. We're going dancing."

I smile, and pull her to a new location through my eyes, the way she has done it to me before.
I get us into some sort of club they have constructed here.
There's a center pillar giving support to a huge tent.
We stand on a small platform attached to it, a few meters above the ground.
There's neon-lights everywhere, in all kinds of colors, lighting the place up.
Some follow the rhythm of the music.
They are playing vocal trance. (A bit like this starting at 2:30)



The girl is visibly surprised that I just dragged her here.

"Dance with me!"

She's unsure for a second but then smiles.

"Sure"

She leans her back against me and we dance slowly to the very atmospheric music.
I really enjoy it. She smells very nice... it reminds me of lavender.
She brushes through my hair with her fingers... I wish I had such good hair in waking life.
The flashing of the lights turns my vision slightly blurry.
She turns around and closes here eyes.
She moves in for a kiss, and it's absolutely magnificent.
I feel full of energy.

I can feel how much she is enjoying this.
But then something startles her.
She looks at her hands and starts fading away.
She manages to look at me one last time before she completely disappears.

I decide that she must have woken up, how unfortunate.
My vision is blurry as well, I need to get out of here and stabilize.

I teleport outside where it is dusk now.
I rub my hands vigorously to stabilize the dream.

I walk along a path with more sculptures on both sides.
I meet many people, all very different from each other.
They're all extremely nice, everyone is smiling and says hi.
I wonder if Burning Man is anything like this in waking life.

Some guy explains to me how to build these tubular structures and I end up helping him extend one of his sculptures.

I had this dream twice, the first time I got caught. The second time I realised what I had done wrong and got away (I think).

I was on a warfront, spotting for a sniper I guess. The enemy cannled an air strike on our location an y
the sniper's leg got blown off. He really needed to go to the toilet so I held his rifle as he went. I looked down the scope and saw an important looking man walking towards a Bunker/aeroplane, surrounded by officials. I tried to shoot him. I missed. Everyone knew where we were and I knew another airstrike was coming so I began to run away. People started to stream in to catch me. I was on a cliff, so I ran toward the edge, jumped, and caught hold of a pine tree. I spun around the pine tree trying to confuse them. On about my third rotation I let go and flying kicked an important looking man. I ran toward the bush and was chased. There was a chase through the bush but I can't remember what happened.

*the next set of events may be out of order*

After dreaming this I realised I was imprisoned under the Basically regime for twenty years but couldn't remember. I was telling all my friends this (even though we were teens, it somehow made sense.)

My sister wanted a dog and there was a really large hill and some bushland outside our house, so my dad built a light rail for her that only went about 100m up the hill. I rode it with her. I asked my Dad and he said it cost about $13300. I was annoyed.

Me and two other friends had to do a free for all fight match.

February 15, 2012
Last night was a very lame night. I tried a new method where I write down the days events before I go to bed and it worked, however not how I wanted it to. I remember waking up a few times during the night after some pretty good dreams, but I decided to be stupid and not write them down. All I remembered when I got up this morning were a couple of dream fragments. I will try again tonight and make sure to write the dreams down as soon as I get up.

1) Fragment: This was just a flash of something, not much at all. I can recall dreaming about a fruit cup that someone (or I) was holding. That's it

2) Fragment: It's hard to remember but I think I dreamt about school again. It's very faint so I can't recall any further details.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Bicycle Chaos

I was riding my bicycle somewhere, and I was standing on the pedals instead of the basic sitting position on the bike.

Then I look down from above to see that the front wheel was getting loose and popped. Then the rubber started to disintegrate really fast to where the metal was fully exposed to the concrete.



I'm not sure on what happened after.

I am in this old Western style town that has narrow dirt streets and wooden plank buildings. I am wearing a white dress and carrying a grey coat in my arms. The streets are filled with rough looking men, some of whom heckle me as I walk past. I do not see any children or women other than myself.

I come to a part of the street that opens up to a small lake. On the other side there is a man hitting baseballs in the direction of the street I am on. One of the baseballs hits my wrist and several men on the street laugh at me. As I am reeling from the stinging in my wrist another baseball suddenly hits me in the head and I fall down. I pretend I am unconscious to see if anyone will help me. My eyes are closed but I can hear footsteps approtching.

A heavy leather jacket is placed over me like a blanket and my grey jacker is put under my head like a pillow. I can sense several people around me, but all are silent and there is no conversation between them. Slowly I open my eyes to see who came to my aid. There are several men I do not recognize and one I do. The one who is farmiliar is my dream character Walter, who often only appears when I am my dream character Chun-li. I think it is strange that he is here, because I am not Chun-Li and he has never appeared before when I am any other character. Walter senses my thoughts and telepathically I can hear him say "Welcome back."

At first I think he is welcoming me back to consciousness but I figured he actually meant "Welcome back to the world of dreams" because I have not remembered any dreams for months, and also because he is not a character that shows a lot of emotion and he seemed really happy to see me again.

Walter picks me up and carries me to an area outside of town that has a medical ward of some kind. On the inside of the building it looks like a modern hospital but on the outside it has a complicated security system with checkpoints that you might find at an airport, prision or even military base. I still see no other women besides myself. After Walter checks me in he says that he has to do something and leaves. I beg him to stay because I feel safe when he is around but he insists that this thing is really important and disappears out the door. I do not see him again in this dream.

Not long after he leaves I explore the hospital a bit but when that gets boring I head outside and try to navigate the maze like security/check point system. I am held up at one gate and questioned intensely bye two guards but they eventually let me go. After that however, I notice to different men following me around, keeping just enough distance from me so as not to raise suspicion, though I can see them no matter where I go.

The sun begins to set and I want to get back to the hospital room but I find that I am lost and don't know which security gates I have to go through. The men following me are getting closer and closer and I fear they are going to tackle me or something. My last thoughts in this dream, before I wake up, is wondering where Walter is and why he left me all alone.

I was walking to someone's house. The street I was walking along was covered in moss. I heard someone telling me to turn right so I did, and I wound up at the house. My brother was already there, but I was expecting him to have brought my bag. I had to go all the way back to get it.

Then I'm not sure if this one was still the same dream or a new one. I was in a room, trying to do my first 3 step task, but I wasn't lucid. I wanted to try shapeshifting into something difficult, so I settled on a dragon because I haven't tried anything fantasy yet. I tried a lot, but all I managed to do was grow a little, with no other physical change at all.

Dream One (a)
"What 15-minute Break?"

I was hanging out with my ex and a few other people, when out of nowhere, she slips a hand underneath the table and sets it in my lap, rummaging around down there for a bit and shooting me a mischievous grin. Later, it was just the two of us and we were laying down, watching t.v. We began to hold hands, and it was just kind of nice being that way again, since it had been a while since we'd dated.

Sometime during this (though I can't remember the timeline), I was at our job and had left on a break to go hang out with her, not realizing that she didn't have to be back to work at the same time as me, and that I was running late. Somewhat ridiculously, we'd decided to go to the beach during our break, and I was now speeding to get back into town, pretty sure that I was likely to get fired, as soon as I stepped in the door. There was also a brief moment here, where I remember pulling up to a house at night, and someone jumping out of a parked car nearby and running away as if feeling the scene of a crime. I woke up shortly after this.


Dream One (b) (Dream Re-Entry)
I was back at her apartment (where we'd been in the previous dream, watching tv), and she had gone somewhere, which was funny, because I was trying to return her keys to her. So, I waited up on her porch for her to return. The buildings had this weird, seemingly unfinished architecture, where you'd practically have to jump over gaps and climb walls to reach each apartment. There was a kid hanging around her porch, and when I asked him what he was doing, he said he was waiting for [my] 'girfriend' to return. After a while, she pulled up in her car and I went down to meet her. She had a friend with her, who seemed to recognize me, but I can't remember who she was.

Dream Fragment
I was Batman, in some insane scenario about fighting werewolves and other large creatures. At first, it was just an all-out brawl against them, but then we ended up having to team up to face a bigger thread. Killer Croc was a part of the situation, and we had to reluctantly ally with each for the same reason. I don't remember much of the following battle, but we had to fight hordes of generic henchmen and figure out puzzles (much like in the game). The last thing I remember is taking on the Joker, one on one, who was armed with what I believe was a switchblade knife.
