non-lucid

This dream was really vague. I actually didn't even remember it until i was walking to class and all of a sudden it kind of came to me..weird, i know.

The dream started with me sitting on some bed, with my friends little sister and one of our friends. My friend(the first girls brother) died, and one of our other friends that was with him also died. I'm not sure why, or what happened. I just remember consoling her about it. And when i stood up and hugged her it was one of those tight hugs...and when i got ready to let go, she didn't. And from experience i know that's when a girl is really upset. For some reason that triggered my lucidity. That's when i really realized how weird the dream was.

She just kept crying on my chest, which made me cry...

Then i woke up..

BiscuitHappyz's Dream

I was in a small car with some other people, driving on a straight highway, lined with pine trees. We were heading towards some hotel-looking buildings at the end of the road.

I'm so sick, I thought, of pine trees. Especially in my dreams. It's really annoying, that for about one and a half decades my subconscious has been constantly analyzing the environment around me and simply concludes; 'Pine trees'. Pine trees take up nearly 90% of vegetation in my dreams, the remaining being grass. It would be nice to see an oak occasionally. [/pine tree rant]

Anyway, as the car approached the buildings at the end of the road, I began to see the BB&T tower of a nearby city poke out between them. I had seen it many times in waking life, and I often noted it as the tallest building in the small city.

http://static.panoramio.com/photos/o...l/16665800.jpg (Notice how there are little to no pine trees in this picture.)

I the dream, however, I was nearly one hundred miles away from that city, and should not have been able to see it. But it had the sense of scale like that from the Citadel in Half-Life 2, and it seemed to be that my brain recognizes it as such a ridiculously huge building that one could constantly see it from any point in the state.



(The Citadel)

Then the car turned sharply right and headed off into a large a amount of pine trees, and thankfully, I woke up as that happened.

No lucids last night, I'm kinda shocked. Because I got the right amount of sleep, no diphenhydramine, and I had one of those moments in the dream where I usually become lucid, but didn't.

I dreamt that me and Margaret (a former boss of mine, who ended up become a big time druggie, in and out of rehab in real life) were both in an unusual new rehab program. I can't remember exactly how it worked, but I remember one of the former clients (who ended up being Kyle, one of my current coworker's husband), gave me a tour of sorts. He led me to a house that I could live in. Actually, he and I would share it. Nice place, pretty neighborhood. Then we walked about a mile down the street to a building, which ended up being the the Whole Foods I used to work at. Then Kyle explained to me that as long as I live in this house, and work just 25 hours a week at this Whole Foods, I could stay in the program. And I would get a stipend and some other benefits. It just all sounded so good, and simple, and comfortable. So when we walked back to the house, we were holding hands. It just didn't really dawn on me yet that Danny is my boyfriend, and that I'm holding hands with Kyle, Gabi's husband. I just remember feeling like we were in love and everything was going to be ok. Then we got in a car and he was talking about going to church next sunday, and I remember not wanting to hurt his feelings by telling him that I'm actually atheist. Then I realized, oh god, this is Kyle! I looked at him and said, "I hate to bring this up now Kyle, but what about Gabi?" He looked disturbed, then gave me a reassuring kiss and said something that I forgot. When we broke the kiss, he looked like Danny. Note: usually when I have one of those realizations in a dream, I become lucid. Crap.

Then it changed to the alien dream. Also non lucid, but kinda cool! I only remember fragments, but the biggest part I remember was these futuristic aliens with amazing technology (but looked exactly like humans) had selected a few of us mere earthlings for some important mission. I forgot the mission, and who the other people were besides me. But I remember we had to go to Paris, France, and there was this vehicle waiting for us that we had to fly. We got a message from the aliens in Paris, and they explained the location of the vehicle using one of those holographic messages like they do in star wars. It showed the Eiffel Tower, and high above it in the clouds, hovered a small craft. It looked nothing more than a shiny platform with some small side wings and a tiny cockpit. Only we could see it, it was cloaked to everyone else. I don't remember how we got on it, I just remember looking straight up into the sky when we got to the tower, and I could see it, twinkling in the sunlight. Then we were on it, and it zoomed us to italy where me met up with our alien contacts. I only saw one, and she looked like a brunette model. I asked her if, given all their technology, they had cured aids or cancer. She said no, unfortunately. That's all I remember. Cool spacecraft, and yay, France and Italy!

Lab Experiment, Communication Applications Teacher Talking to Me

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1: Lab Experiment

I was part of a lab experiment. I was working with 2-3 DCs. We had to fill some vial to a certain level with certain chemicals without causing a huge reaction. It seemed that our group tried to finish as quickly as possible before the others did.



Not too sure on the what else we did, but I do know that we made several mistakes before reaching the ideal mix of chemicals.

Dream 2: Comm App Teacher Asking Questions

The Communications Applications teacher I had in High School the first semester as a Senior was asking me a few personal questions.

He started to mention to the class on how I was alone with just a few people (don't want to go into that, it kind of freaked me out because it was a personal lie that I started to accept).

Before he started to get deep though, I was sitting in a chair. I know I was wearing a Hoodie or something of the sort. I was resting on the desk while keeping my face up to the teacher.



Then when he started asking me some more questions, I started to look at him weirdly, got up to rest my upper body to the seat and start responding to what he said.

I can't remember what I told him though. But I do know that I felt myself moving, but I wasn't lucid.

Got another lucid this time! Short, but interesting. I got a little more abstract with my control of it, too. Other than that, a couple other interesting dreams as well. Not a bad night.

#1 - Fucking Hornets

I'm making some kind of video game with a lot of old friends (and a couple current), a guy I haven't seen since high school, and OpheliaBlue. Ophelia and the guy from high school are talking about adding some cinematic to the beginning of the game, so after we discuss how that would fit best they go off to start working on it. My friend O, still my current theory for who my dream guide is, starts talking about how we're going to do the opening credits, and he shows us what he has so far. I don't remember what they were, but I remember that they were pretty funny. But J gets all bitchy about the font size being too small, even though O hadn't actually tried to set it to what it would be in the game, he was just showing us the text. :T Oh yeah, also, we were doing all of this discussion in my bathroom, in front of the mirror lol. Possibly using the mirror as a screen to project things on, now that I think about it...? But anyway, J was standing kind of behind me, so when I turned around to listen to him talk I noticed that there was a gigantic map of the world behind him, one that was clearly not visible in the mirror. As he's talking, he pulls out a much smaller, handheld-sized, map and starts talking about some "red bee therapy" (which I take to mean red hornets) then comes and stands right behind me to try it out and says their are a bunch of the red hornets right behind the map, which he's holding up to my back. Hornets. Now, for those of you who don't know, I hate bugs. They're... soooo nasty. >_< But hornets especially, they're like my least favorite bug there is. So I'm freaked out at this point. I look down at the counter and see a pair of scissors, which I quickly grab, and say "J, get those things away from me right now, I'm not even kidding, I will fucking stab you." He backs off, but one of the hornets gets left behind my back (somehow... ) and I reach back there and feel it. I feel a sting and start running around freaking out, and I grab it and squeeze it to death, something I'd never do in real life but I was desperate , and I threw it down on a table and saw it dead, but then it CAME. BACK. TO LIFE. It's comically large and red with black stripes, and I grab a tissue box and start smashing it but even though it keeps getting nastier it never dies, and it's so gross it makes me feel like I have to puke, and I'm shaking. Then I woke up.

Thank god.

#2 - Fickle Emotions

I'm in high school in an English class that I never actually had, but it's boring so I leave to go find a different class, then pay that teacher $100 (two separate payments of $50) to let me be in her class instead. She shakes my hand and says "A gentlemens' agreement!" (More How I Met Your Mother references from my subconscious. ) But, she turns out to be a hard ass to the point that the other kids in the class are "troubled", like there's a guy not far from me to the right smoking weed in the middle of class, and the girl I sat down next to on my left is single and pregnant (but not visibly). However I learn through the course of the class that she's actually just a really nice girl and pretty cool, and I develop a little bit of a crush on her. I start messing with the teacher to make her laugh, and we end up getting along really well and she's even starting to act like she has a bit of a crush on me too, and it's so obvious that some of the guys in the class are visibly jealous. Somewhere down the line the teacher turns into my old Chinese class teacher and someone says something about him which gets me distracted, after which the girl just never shows up or is even thought about again. Class is over so I get up and walk around the hallways which turn into an enormous and clearly very expensive and high-end mall, and I'm trying to find my locker but it's too hard to navigate, I even pass through a jail cell on the way. I woke up after I found my way out of that lol.

#3 - Third-Person Control

O and I went to a head shop or something, and we saw someone getting arrested in the parking lot, so we quickly got in my car and drove off. While I'm driving, I notice that the accelerator keeps getting stuck, so I'm slamming the breaks to make the car slow down, but eventually it just goes faster and faster and faster until the car pulls up off the ground and we blast into the sky. But I became lucid at this point! I started steering us around the city, as we were in a downtown area with lots of tall buildings so it was fun just zooming around in our rocket car. Before too long I notice that my vision is steadily narrowing down to a very small area and I'm afraid that the dream is going to end if it gets all the way down to a dot, so I consciously switch it to third-person perspective control, which still feels like first-person. (Kind of hard to explain.) It worked for a little bit, though! My full view of the city was restored, and I could see that the car actually had turned into a plane. I start flying off to the side of my vision so that my camera angle moves over and we transition from the city to a mountain range, and the sky starts turning dark blue, so in order to keep the dream changing (rather than ending) I kept up. I had the mountains be just dunes in the background with the sky being underwater, and I transformed the plane into a fish, and I just swam around in the water a little bit, but then I finally woke up. :/ Oh well, it was fun!

So that's it for this entry. I'm definitely happy with the number of lucids I'm getting lately, even if they're brief.

I was going to try this last night, but it didn't work. I don't know if I'm just not compatible with the technique or if my girlfriend calling me in the middle of the night messed it up, so I'll try again tonight.

Anyway, about my dreams... I don't remember them much. I know they were all related to zombies/people trying to kill me/me having to hide. There was something a bit Metro 2033 (here) about them. I remember running a lot, I remember arguing with my girlfriend and a friend of ours, I remember running away from them and hiding in a store. In fact, I feel like I ran throughout all of my dreams last night.

Not exactly a peaceful night for me. Damn. Well, I might take a nap later, so... who knows, I could get lucky and have a lucid dream... or at least remember what I dreamt of.

FA Dream Within A Dream

I dreamed I had awakened from a dream with pictures of that dream. The pictures had me in them, but I was missing my head. I thought it had something to do with forgetting part of my dream.

I tried to remember the dream hoping that my head would appear if I could remember it. One of the pictures had an orange and white harlequin pattern which wasn't there before. I thought maybe I just hadn't noticed the pattern before, but then another picture had the same pattern behind me. I realized that I was dreaming the pattern into the background of the pictures from the dream I had falsely awakened from.

Madness guides seem to be a good term for them, even if the word was never mentioned...
___
I am in a dark courtyard, there is a fence around the edge. There are 5 stone statues around a central node, arranged like this:
1OO5
.2O4
...3

This song is playing:

Specifically the part where the vocals come in

The statues depict what I described in the dream as demons, I am to choose one. I study their energy and find my attention pulled strongly to #2, and less strongly to #5. I walk up to statue #2.

(Etna)
This is basically what I see, she had a less revealing outfit on than appears in the Disgaea games, and her tongue wasn't sticking out... come to think of it, she was taller... so maybe it was just the succubus?

I glance at #5, a woman with bunny ears... I choose #2, and begin waking up.

I see #2 sitting at a table, with a manly chin, manly stubble, a manly body, eating a manly sandwich before I fully awake. (Lol)

I wake up and ponder what just happened to me, I eventually think of the term Madness Guide... well I can always use another guide, so I'll take it.

Good morning, everybody.

Sorry I haven't been around in a while. My waking life kind of toppled over for a bit. But I think I'm getting back to normal.

Dream #1

I was talking with my psychiatrist. She looked kind of weird, like her eyes were close together and really tiny, but wide open, like she was shocked. Her hair was also very pale, almost dirty blonde.

I was telling my psychiatrist about some experience I'd had, which had seemed to me to be bilocation. I may have remembered something about one version of myself standing near a missile that lay on the ground, while the other version of myself was somewhere else.

My psychiatrist told me that she remembered the events surrounding the date on which I'd had this experience. She said that we had been making good progress in our sessions. She said that on that particular day, she'd touched on something sensitive in my life.

So, my psychiatrist said, it was pretty natural that I'd have some kind of weird experience. It was a reaction, a resistance, against the sensitived issue that my psychiatrist had brought up. I'd probably also felt like my experience was bilocation for a reason -- something to do with the sensitive issue.

Ok so this was a really short dream. I remember telling my dad who was in the living room to watch a music video (I forget the name though). I walked into the kitchen for no particular reason. I walked pass the living room and I ask him if he liked the music video. He said It was good and that i should watch the new video by Drive Shaft (witch is a fake band from the TV show Lost). He then told me to read the words that show up at the beginning because the lead singer thought he was being abducted by aliens. I was walking up to my room when my alarm clock went off so i never got to see the video. This dream made no sense at all.

I haven't remembered my dreams for a couple of nights, I've been kind of tired and probably a bit ill. I didn't think it worth the trouble to report every time I don't remember anything. Tonight I had at least one rather clear dream that I do remember, though. It didn't really take any effort to remember it, so I think effort is not what I'm missing. Maybe it was the cold...

I'm hiking on a hill or a small mountain and there is a castle, or maybe a fort, on top of it. On my side of the castle there is just a wall, but on the far side there is a small tower. I'd like to get a good picture of the castle but there are trees blocking the view. My brother is there and I guess he says to go around to the right side, a bit of the path. he also tells me I need to overcome my ego-defending self. I walk along the right side of the castle repeating as a mantra the part about the ego-defending self, and keep an eye out for a good place to take the picture.

I would like to walk around the castle but when I get to the end of the castle, the wall continues as the wall of a modern apartment building. Clearly the castle has been extended lately. There is a picket fence surrounding the yard of the first floor apartments, and I need to go around. Around the fence, on my path, there are three hog-like creatures, two adults and a piglet. I'm a bit scared but they don't seem very menacing. Then I notice a large cat-like creature, something between a large lynx and a huge cat. I think it might have been hunting the pigs.

It approaches and I kick it. Not very hard, I'm not sure what it wants but I don't want it close. I'm wearing my hiking boots so it probably would hurt to be kicked by them. It's a bit startled, but decides to approach again. I interpret the approach as an attack, again, and kick it again. It runs around me and disappears. I look at the pigs and the look at me.

I have surpassed my recall streak. I've recalled something on 29 days straight. Yay me. To be honest, I guess that's pretty pathetic record for someone in this for over three years. But it is what it is, and I gotta be happy and keep extending it. For LDs the barren streak still extends to 43 days. I've had over two months without a lucid, so it's not record, but with this decent recall I'd expect better from myself.

In terms of my past dreams we are going to October 2009. I guess I had already peaked after the first excitement of the 9 months prior and started to coast a bit, so my results were going down. Still, I had more success than now. Non-lucid this time though.

Everybody Knows You're Lost
Date: October 2nd, 2008
Lucid: No

I was at my home, in the living room. I was just chilling out before the windows started moving. It was really odd. I ended up looking outside the window and following some girls with my eyes. Then the dream transitioned so that I was now looking outside a bus' window to those same girls. Then I transitioned again, this time in the front of the small bus, alongside the driver who I knew. We started a conversation about cars.

I: "They don't make good cars any more"
Him: "What do you mean?"
I: "Well you know... For example, they don't start in the winter etc."
Him: "Oh yeah..."
I: "And all those microchips etc. so there's so many places that can fail."
Him: "Yeah but if they're not in use then it isn't a problem."

Surprisingly sane conversation. He, I mean the driver, was really hitting the throttle despite the fact that the bus was now in some kind of city centre. He said that he drove 100 km/h and I looked at the speedometer and it confirmed that. Pretty insane guy. There was some hill where the I felt the speed in my stomach. The driver steered into some parking hall, still at least a hundred in speedometer and then just stopped like he hit the wall - despite not hitting one. All the other people got off the bus like nothing had happened.

There was my old PE teacher and the other people went along with him. I started wondering what the hell I was doing in this bus anyway. I didn't reach conclusion, instead I just decided that going along with him wasn't it. I guess the bus wasn't going anywhere any more, as I went outside. By now the surroundings had changed and it seemed like some kind of construction site. My brother / my friend Henri emerged from somewhere - it seemed to change from moment to moment, which one it was.

I didn't have any idea, where I was, but I didn't want to admit that to my brother / Henri. There was some... what do you call those spots where's map of the city on a big board? Anyway, there was one of those and I walked up to it to figure out where I was, only to be disappointed. There wasn't any map, just an empty space.

All the sudden clown popped out of somewhere. A fuckin' clown! Well, I wasn't stingy about whom I ask for direction, as long as Henri / my brother won't know I am lost. So I walked up to the clown to ask for directions. Henri came behind me and asked: "LOL, is that your superior ?" (as in a job)
"No", I stuttered, "I was just about to kick him in the nuts."

It was weird line to say, I guess I was trying to be funny. We have a weird sense of humor, but that's just messed up thing to say. Anyway, you don't fuck around with clowns as he first kicked my ankle and then smashed his fist right in my face. I was down for the count and my brother / Henri walked me far from the clown.

It seemed like every time when the other side was nice, it was my brother, and every time he was mean, it was Henri. Makes sense.

I wanted to get back at the clown. Partly to revenge, partly to explain that it was just a joke and that I wasn't really going to kick him, and partly to finally ask him directions. Jesus Christ, just admit you're lost, haven't you endured enough trouble already? I was also thinking about pressing charges against the clown, as he had just beaten me up without me doing anything. My brother managed to talk me out of going at the clown again.

All the sudden we turned right next to my former school. I figured I was in the place I was looking for, so I forgot about the clown and didn't care to meet him again. My brother thought that I finally came to my senses and realized that I couldn't beat the clown.

Then the dream transitioned again and this time I was at my home again. My mom asked me whether I reached anyone. I guess I was to meet some people in the school, or something like that. Then the dream ended.

I'm standing at the top end of a big outdoor staircase with a friend of mine, talking with him, then I look over my shoulder and see a cute girl that can't assemble her bicycle, we keep looking at her, when she starts to take her shirt and bra off, and we are like "fuck yeah" 8D
Then she see us and begins to come over to us, but then she is over at us, she got clothes on again, she then says "I want you to meet Mr *****" and we were like oh fuck it's her husband, and we starts running like hell down the stairs and in to the woods, my friend out runs me, but I keep running and then out of nothing the woods is going straight up like a wall, I start climbing up of it, then I get to the top, I start running again, out of nothing I stop and see that I'm on the ceiling of a old castle, I then look then on the floor and see some people firing bows and arrows, I then look around in the room and look out again, and I see a kinda mental place, there a lot of people is working with clay, I then jump down through the floor, and smashes some of the peoples clay work, I then start to throw with the clay because I thinks it looks funny and kinda like shit 8D
I then want to go out to take a piss, but there is a big black bodyguard, stopping me and saying "you can't go out there, because Robbie Williams is out there and he is FUCKED up", so I turn around and out of nothing again all the people is sitting at laptops, I then to over to one of them and see a chocolate milk, I reach out for it, then a person grabs my arm and say "you can't take that" and I'm like why not? he then says "because its just like mine" and he is showing me a Pepsi.
I then wake up

BiscuitHappyz's Dreams

I'm back, hopefully.


Dream 1
My parents had given birth to who would be my second brother. He was the size of the palm of my hand and shaped like a baseball with a face on it. I can't remember the details of his face, but judging by everyone else's expression I'm sure he was either adorable or capable of hypnotic powers. I was in the hospital with my parents, perhaps one or two doctors. The dream ended with I thought deeply about how he was going to change my life and whatnot.

Dream 2
Continuing my theme of very young people, I was standing in the road with about three other teenagers, my age or older. There were small children, perhaps three or four, hugging our legs, but I can't remember what for. Except for one child, a little girl, who wanted nothing to do with us and gave us each a brief, stern scowl as she passed us.
