    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. Costco

      by , 01-18-2012 at 08:32 PM (Taffy's Sweet Dreams)
      I was in a store similar to Costco with my mom. I had my laptop with me, and was asking her to check my beatmap on Osu, to see if the bpm and offset were right. She didn't want to check, and got mad every time I asked her. I helped her load the groceries onto the conveyor belt at the checkout.

    2. Violence

      by , 01-18-2012 at 08:01 PM (The Inner Workings of a Sound Addict)
      No recall on the night of the 16th as I was off-my-tits high, but I managed to remember bits a pieces last night - mostly of me hiding my tattoo from my parents again...
      ---
      17/1/12
      One dream did stand out, however, as it was pretty intense:

      I'm walking down the street at night with two friends
      [who I don't think I know in real life] and one is reading a book. A girl with her boyfriend behind us makes a snooty comment about his 'cheap clothes' and how she didn't think poor people could read. At this, we band together like brothers and decide to lay into her with a dazzling display of insults.

      We continue walking through an alley to some sort of changing room
      [probably a rugby changing room, like so many of my other dreams, for some reason] where I get lamped in the back of the head by this girl's boyfriend and fall to the floor dazed. I don't take to this cowardly form of combat and so get up to confront him, but he turns himself invisible!

      I decide this coward needs a lesson as I see a crowd of people being pushed apart by an invisible force, and chase my attacker to a nearby toilet cubicle. He pleads as his invisibility wears off, but I'm too fired up and I crack him in the jaw. He then somehow appears with his head in the toilet bowl (not through my doing) and I pull him out by his legs to save him from drowning.


      I leave the scene to gasps and disgusted whispers, as if I was the one in the wrong. To be fair to the guy, he did need an ambulance.



      Just to point out, I'm not a very violent person, and though I wouldn't react well to being hit from behind, I definitely wouldn't retaliate as viscously as in my dream.

    3. In Computer Lab, Family guy Comic on the Wall

      Computer Lab,Family Guy Comic On Wall (Non-lucid)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      I had a hard time trying to recall because I woke up like 2 hours before I had to get to my Political Science class in college along with 3 more classes)

      (Wednesdays are going to be my busiest days because I have 4 classes in succession; I'm suppose to be in a Chemistry Lab class, but labs don't start until next week, so I thought I should use that time to type up the notes I put down in my Blackberry Curve onto here ( I eventually remembered more details, I couldn't have finger smashed all of this information at once haha; and eat some food before I head to my Biochemistry Seminar course later on).

      I also find that using images on my Dream Journal for certain points is helping me remember things long enough that should I not have the time to type them down immediately, I can somehow pull out an event in a dream and capture it long enough to branch off to other things associated with it. I guess it makes it easier in the long run, even though it gets tedious sometimes Googling pictures that make sense to me.


      Dream 1:

      I'm in a computer lab, the type you would see here in American High School or Middle School. There's dark blue carpet covering the floor with small mixes of random colors.

      Everyone but me were given a piece of paper to do something on the computers set out for us, but I didn't pay attention to why I didn't receive one compared to the rest. Everyone was doing random things like watching videos to typing random things.

      Then I realized I don't have a worksheet/piece of paper and I go up to a blonde female for one. Her hair was tied to the back into a pony tail.

      (I'm going to start focusing on the facial expressions and moods of the DCs I encounter in these non-lucids to try and rationalize why they're doing so.

      She was wearing a small gray hoodie (like the Hollister ones that can barely fit any average guy without them ripping it completely) and she wore a shirt underneath it of course, and probably had the typical skinny butt lift jeans.

      She almost looked like a European blonde or from Russia, but just as a descendant, not a native, the type who has the genes from parents who were but with the American accent. And see had Mascara on her too, which elevated the presence of her blue eyes.

      Cars and Ld's-hair-long-pony-tail_300.jpgCars and Ld's-abercrombie%2520outlet%2520211.jpgCars and Ld's-2168b.jpg
      Cars and Ld's-eye-makeup-blue-eyes-3.jpg (just adding these here to have a general grasp on how she looked)


      When I go up to her, before I could ask her that I don't have a sheet of paper with instructions on whatever it is we're doing in the computer lab, she expands her arm with the last piece of paper she has and offers me it. I think she even was mouthing something, but it was probably just for her to keep track of what she was doing rather than for me.

      It seemed like she was reading something off of it before she handed it to me, I don't know if that she just gave it to me out of the blue or maybe was double checking before she gave it to me.

      But she's still looking down on some other things as if she was too busy to make eye contact, she had that secretary type of mentality where they would go into efficiency mode and just do what's necessary and avoid any kind of additional effort (but not the type of effort to be lazy, just the type to be done and over with things in a professional manner).

      She knew I was there, I could sense it, so I just gently took the paper she offered me and headed back to where I was sitting, which was near the back wall.

      The same blonde, I'm guessing she's a teacher since this seems to be a School environment, but she was pretty young, I'd say she would be my age as well (18).

      She starts calling people, probably to check their progress on the computer, I think she calls one person starting with the name of "C," but I can't remember the full name, but it wasn't too important because it was a generic name.

      Dream 2:

      I'm looking on a wall and there's a comic of Family Guy of Peter, Lois, and Quagmire (It's in black and white, but I think there were a few hints of color). They were doing something, but I can't remember what exactly. I think I recall Lois with a happy expression on her face, but I don't know if that was because something sexual was happening to her or something else.

      Cars and Ld's-peter-lois-quagmire-500-x-374.jpg

      I saw Quagmire, I know I did, but I don't know what the heck he was up to in the comic, probably trying to creep on Lois I guess.

    4. 18/01/12 - Beautiful city

      by , 01-18-2012 at 06:09 PM (Nom nom nom, Mmmattelicious...)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Had a very nice dream last night, the landscape was incredible. Don't recall too much from it all.

      22.30: Sleep

      05.30: India
      I'm on a bike, it appears to have a motor and I'm cruising on a road that goes slightly uphill. Somehow I know I'm in India, and in the future to that. I feel completely at peace and extremely relaxed. A few enormous buildings appear up ahead, they're gray and has big signs on them. "Stadium" I read. I keep on going down the road that goes through the pretty simple city, the buildings never seem to end but soon I'm going downhill instead. I almost crash into a car infront of me and have to hit the brakes hard. I look to my left and enjoy the amazing view. It's a huge, vegetated meteor crater-like hole, with lines going up and down the sides.




      05.30: Wake up

      Amount of sleep: 7 hours

      Supplements: None


      That's it!

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    5. Just a dream

      by , 01-18-2012 at 06:04 PM (Oneironautic Escapades)
      Visions scattered assorted group
      I was with a few friends, one familiar the other two not.
      I knew we were working together to determine exactly when the others would arrive
      We were part of the few set to the task of proving they were coming
      Time passed and our excitement grew until one day the mood had changed
      Even though we all had discovered the arrival and we knew the time was close, no one seemed as excited as me for the news
      My best friend who I shared most of my liking with was put off
      No one would acknowledge this most wonderful thing had occurred
      Something is not right
      The feeling is off, familiar yet set apart
      She who was with me sensed that I was no longer deceived
      I knew then my companions were not mine alone
      They weren't coming, they were already here
      Discovering we were close to the truth they came prerequisite
      She informed me our truth was yet to grow
      And I needed to see what was here
      She pulled out some device and called forth for transport
      All looking up I saw the black dot appear in the sky
      Growing larger with more definition it was coming to us flat and faster than free fall
      My heart raced with the potential of approaching experience
      Not slowing I had no time to react before the disc plopped hard against the earths crust, like a coin hitting the surface flat
      Leaving our equipment we crossed the road towards this metallic craft which was empty and ready for our load
      Getting in it felt as if each seat was fitted for one, just enough for all of us
      There were lap seat belts which seemed more aesthetic than functional
      Before I could comprehend where I was, I was there
      Inside of some great room
      Metallic and streamline with overtones of blue and grey
      Everything seemed with purpose and beings scattered about the place in what appeared to be booths coupled threes and fours
      It was made known to me they looked exactly how they wanted us to see them
      My companions were no more and I felt rejoined
      I was to meet the leader
      Every other creature had the appearance of one of 4 humans
      As if they all shared from only 4 templates
      If I stared too long at any one the image would blur and they became someone else, still one of the four
      Their leader was tall and distinct
      A familiar and welcoming appearance he was covered in a metallic blueish bodysuit
      It continued up one side of his neck connecting to one slightly over-sized eye
      Hiss appearance was human, with certain forgivings
      The eye was veined with a neon blue
      The other was normal and warm as he grinned
      Black soft curly hair that stood on end was littered with white and bright blue highlights
      His name was Zerg and he asked me to walk with him
      Feeling as though I was walking across a cafeteria
      We approached a two seated booth
      He said I must have questions,
      and he would do his best to assist my position
      As he slid into his seat I could barely contain my excitement for the coming revelations
      Lowering myself onto my side I witnessed his lips moving beginning some great prologue,
      there was no sound
      And I awoke.

      ~The only thing i can remember from dreaming last night was frantically washing dishes.....as if i was getting ready to have a guest over.....~
      I awoke this morning very disappointed...i was hoping for more...i'm finding that the harder i concentrate,the harder it is for me to fall asleep,thus taking time away from my sleep and my dreams. The past two nights my head has hit the pillow, and before i know it , it is morning, like i didn't even sleep at all....

    7. High School

      by , 01-18-2012 at 04:47 PM
      1. Mehm and I enter a high school under false identities to try and retrieve someone/something. Eventually make it out and to vehicle. Cannot remember purpose.

      2. I help lit teacher's wife carry a cooler along a bridge stylized much like the Great Wall. She doesn't want me to struggle, but I assure her this is about the only skill I have because of "all the moves." My teacher asks me about them, but I avoid the subject with, "It's a long story."

      I play with his daughter, but forgot the details upon waking.

      Suddenly, he's in a wheel chair and his family has gone on ahead. We're under a peach-coloured chiffon tent and a lunch is being had. He can't maneuver around anyone, and I exclaim he must to proceed to the other side. I guess I raised my voice, because the woman behind him who was getting in the way intentionally is startled, as well as the men beside her. After a bit of a commotion, they shift out of the way.

      I make my way out and around to the back of a huge van and slide the cooler in. Kyle is there (first time in dream). He pulls the cooler forward and greets. Demeanor is quite pleasant, as if the sun was shining out his ass. I see the teacher's wife going another route through a literal dark hole in a dirty, city brick wall and I'm woken up.

    8. January 18, 2012 WILD attempt; pleasent dream

      by , 01-18-2012 at 12:26 PM (Jenos's Garden of Dreams)
      WILD attempt #5
      Awake: I look over to my alarm clock. 3:30 A.M?! I was supposed to be awake at 1:00 A.M. I roll on my back, I'm not wide awake, but I'm not groggy either, maybe I should try a WILD anyway. I do. I turn on my NatureSpace app, I put it on infinite ocean, and lie on my side.
      HH and HJ: The first sign that I'm getting somewhere are the hypnic jerks. I get these around my legs, and a couple times on my back. I lie for awhile longer. My thoughts dwell a little but never enough to get me out of it. After awhile something happens that has never happened before. I see these white rings suddenly fly towards me, they're very blurred, like the green lights in my previous HH, but they also give me a light headed feeling. It's as if I'm flying through them. These go away and I don't feel anything except the occasional jerk. I'm still without the numbness and heaviness i get in my legs and arms. I think I need to relax more and meditate less.
      Awake: After 33 minutes I call it a quits and go to non-lucid sleep.

      Some kind of Paradise
      Non-Lucid: I'm walking on a stone road. With me are Natasha (friend) and Charlie (Not so much my friend), there may have been someone else but I paid them no attention. It's an absolutely beautiful summer day out, but where we are I don't know. It's some Skyrim-esque terrain, lot's of mountains, but no snow. Just perfect, my dreamland. We come across a small house, and would you believe, it's that god damn Russian/gypsy lady again! Only a glimpse, and I'm not 100% sure it is here, but I think it is. (I sure hope she isn't my dream sign). Next to a house is a huge change in the path. 90 degrees to be exact, no problem though. We climb up it without a sinch, except for me at the top. Charlie offers me his hand to help me up (in real life I would get over the ridge easily but in the dream I was struggling) I reach for it but he doesn't give it to me. Natasha doesn't notice, and after a minute he helps me up. It's a beautiful sight up here, To our left is a small bay, to our right, mountains and plains and ahead, ocean. There's one lone sailboat in the bay, and the water is calm. My subconscious decides it wants charlie gone, he's out of the dream. Me Natasha, and this other guy (I believe to be Natasha/Charlies friend Connor, nice guy) lie down. I crack a joke, they laugh, and she come up with some witty response. For some reason (Maybe we were called by someone) we get up and hop off the little cliff we're on and walk back the way we came. I wish this dream could have lasted longer, but that's where it ends.

      Look out below!
      Non-Lucid: I'm in the passenger seat. It's night time and the driver is speeding down a street in the city. "He is driving like a nut" I think to myself. Ahead is a highway entrance, the driver hits the side of it (those large cinder barriers are on the side) and we fly off into the sky. It's like some kind of physics bug from GTA. I ask him what happening to his car. No response. I repeat myself. Still no response. We land in the river. The guy finally says he will call emergency services. I panic and ask what river this is. Is there a waterfall in it? He says yes, oh man, we're screwed, game over man. Then this natural river suddenly transforms into some kind of theme park river. I jump onto the side where there are wooden boards holind up some images for people on the other side to see. I climb down to the end of the ride, my friend and the police are waiting for me. The dream ends.

      Persuasive Monsters
      Non-lucid: I'm in a library. I'm taking some kind of lesson, it must be with computers because we all have laptops. The guy sitting in front of me is Connor (Different Connor, I've gotten into physical fights with this one in the past). He turns around and says something, I get angry and retort. One thing leads to another and we are both steaming, both ready to throw the first punch. The teacher, a balding guy with a soul patch, asks me to move. I go to a booth in the corner, there are some other girls there. Little did I know that these girls are vampires! They throw me some pitch about how great it is to be a vampire, and all of the cool things you can do. Time zooms forward, I'm in a hallway. Two of the vampire girls are there along with a normal human. It's some induction ceremony, all you have to do it chew a jawbreaker sized piece of gum and a smoked chocolate doughnut (My Subconscious is a weirdo). The human girls put the gum in her mouth to reveal grotesque, black teeth with huge fangs. Halfway through the doughnut I remember that I don't want to be a vampire. The two vampire girls go off about a guy who once didn't finish the ceremony like me, and that now he cries blood everyday. At this point my alarm goes off (thank god)

    9. Prof. Genki esque dream,Thundercracker and Battle Royale....AGAIN!

      by , 01-18-2012 at 12:15 PM
      Dream 1
      I was just in a huge building fighting from room to room to get to the top floor. I think I was with someone. There were loads of "contestants" playing as I moved from room to room. We had guns and all kinds of weapons I think there was a time limit, I got to a stage where soldiers tried to barricade the path so I went through another room and fought to the top floor and then the roof.

      I saw two soldiers one black one white. They were just lying there, I kicked them down the roof and absailed to to ground. I won.

      I did it again but this time I rushed through it really fast, so fast that the soldiers that were on the top floor before didn't get there in time. I won again.

      The third time I raced through it but there were 2 other people on the roof. We absailed down as I watched the dream as if it was a video game cutscene. I absailed and right behind me was another "contestant" and when the final guy came down. He was holding the end of the rope and we plummeted to the ground. It was pretty funny though.

      Dream 2
      I was walking around college. I came to a huge opening and started thinking of how Ultimate Marvel was better than Regular Marvel and the colours were usually brighter. As I thought that the college started to glow. I relaxed, I leaned on nothing I was more or less floating, the calm before a storm. Then all the students had weapons and were walking around killing each other just like Battle Royale.

      I tried to dodge people but the strange thing was that not everyone was "playing" most of them were just walking around. Once again the college looked different there was an East wall with a dip in it like it was for a statue or something. I came to some scanners and then people started playing.

      We had readers on our arms just beneath our shoulders and if you shot that you would kill the other "player". There was a girl I know in the role of "Mad" Souma, she offered oral sex for survival. I obliged I didn't want to but I was put in the role of Tadakatsu Hagami.

      "Always a need for release."

      Fragments
      I saw Thundercracker transform and saw him land on his foot.

      I was talking about Andre Villas-Boas with my friends. I couldn't pronounc ehis name right.
    10. The Wise Man

      by , 01-18-2012 at 09:43 AM
      I was tired and overslept, the memories of early morning are mostly gone. I woke up a couple of times during the night to go trough the dreams I'd had, and those I remember a bit better.


      First.

      I was in a garage hall, a large one, there was at least one bus there. The place was closing but I didn't leave, I went to another room, maybe downstairs. There was an enlightened master, kind of a Yoda type character, fairly short. He tried to teach me some tricks, controlling what seemed reality with my mind. I don't remember the conversation but there was a Star Wars reference, apparently I'm not the only one, there is another one.

      The master then had a large bowl and a weaved basket. "An empty bowl, an empty basket," he said, took water into the bowl and poured it into the basket, the water of course went trough. "What are you trying to catch?" "Fish," I said. "Fish!" the master exclaimed and started laughing.

      I guess it wasn't apparent to me but this clearly seems to be a reference to Dao De Jing. There is also something very Zen-like in how it was represented.

      I left the room, went trough the garage hall that was still closing. I was running on a road and noticed a woman running behind me. I tried to run faster, and she kept pace. I started really running and then jumped and started flying. She said something about me being able to fly and followed, also flying.


      Second.

      There was a flat, some of my old family was there, probably one of them owned the place. My brother was making food. There was a balcony that had been folded away for the winter, kind of like a folded bed, but the support structures were still there. I balanced on the supports and got a bit scared when I noticed it was the top floor. I climbed the supports down to the ground. It was not frozen yet. I climbed back up and helped with the food.


      Third.

      There was a party. Something happened before I arrived, but I don't remember. Someone complained about the restaurant opening so late on, it was a midday on a Sunday and other restaurant were already closing. I went to a hall with food on a table. I took a drink and saw a woman put sugar in hers with chopsticks. I took two spoon to use as chopsticks but couldn't find the sugar, maybe the woman had brought her own. I took some rice and there were some sauces. It didn't look especially good or filling, so I took some more rice.

    11. 01/17/12: A Stealing Spree

      by , 01-18-2012 at 07:11 AM (New Dream Adventures of Raven Knight)
      01/17/12

      School Stealing
      I am at school at Pima Community College, which is where I am taking a couple classes during the spring semester. I am on my way to class. I know exactly where class is, and I am running a bit early, so I wander around a bit. The more extra steps I take the better it is for my diet. As I wander I am thinking I forgot to bring any supplies to school… no paper, no pencil… I see a wall with lockers on it. The lockers can be rented by students to keep their books in between classes as opposed to carrying all the books all day. One of the lockers is open a bit. It looks like someone didn't want to spend the 50 cents or so to rent the locker so they just left their stuff. I am curious, so I peek in there. There is a backpack there and nothing else. No one is watching me, I take the backpack and walk away as if there was nothing strange. I figure this backpack surely has some paper and a pencil in it, so my problem is solved. I wonder if I might find a jump drive I can use as well. I go to class and sit down, waiting for class to start. I open the backpack to take out some paper but I find there are no school supplies in the backpack. It is stuffed with cash! Stacks of $20 bills, and lots of them! Wtf? I had thought I was jacking someone's books and notebooks and stuff and I find all this money! I glance around to see if anyone is watching me. No one is paying any attention to me. I close the backpack and wonder where I might be able to find a pencil and paper now…


      Kleptomania
      I am with my mother and we are visiting a friend somewhere in town. This person is really more of my mother's friend than mine, and I quickly get bored. I say I need to use the bathroom and I leave to do so. I wander around a bit as I go, I figure the friend won't mind. After all, she gave us a tour of the house when my mom and I first arrived, so there's nothing here I haven't seen before. I am looking in the different rooms when I get a bit nosier than I probably should be. I peek in a jewelry box to see what kind of jewelry our friend likes to keep. Some of it is quite pretty, but nothing especially catches my attention. I close the box and peek in a couple other places. Still being nosey. I peek inside a closed roll top desk and find there is a really old looking book there. Cool! There's actually several of the books in a small pile. I open one of the books to see what is inside. It is blank inside, a blank journal. It is such a cool looking book… I slip the book into the waistband of my jeans, hidden under my shirt. I close the desk and then leave the room, heading into the bathroom. There are cute little fluffy stuffed animals, about the size of a mouse. I put one in my pocket without even thinking about it. I take care of business in the bathroom and then return to the living room where my mom and her friend are chatting still. My mom is ready to leave, so we say our goodbyes and head out. In the car my mom asks what that is in my pocket. She sees the stuffed animal I stole. She is mad about that and says I had better hope our friend doesn't notice or we will never be invited over there again. I wonder what will happen when our friend notices the journal missing…
    12. Mount St. Helens Erupting, Taking Pictures and a False False Awakening?

      by , 01-18-2012 at 03:32 AM (Burke's Nightly Escapades)
      I was upstairs in my house in my parents' room. I was sitting on the bed watching T.V. when I looked over into my sister's room. I notices that she had a friend over, one who I hadn't seen in like 10 years. I got up and walked over and saw that my sister was sitting at her desk and her friend was sitting on the ground, both of them looking at a computer screen. They were looking at some sort of video. I stepped a little closer to my sister and just stood there for a second. Nobody said anything. Then I left and headed into my room.

      I sat down on my bed for a quick second and did a random RC. I plugged my nose and nothing happenes, I couldn't breathe. Disappointed with the result I checked my hands, all 10 fingers, none missing and no extras. Then, since I really wanted it to be a dream I plugged my nose again and tried to breathe in.
      It slightly worked, and I thought I was in some sort of dream but didn't know for sure. I kept plugging my nose, trying to breathe in, and, eventually, it worked great! I was fully lucid

      I immediately thought of the TotY and, once again, couldn't decide on which one to do. I summoned yet another dart board with all the dates on it I hadn't done yet. I summon a dart, closed my eyes and threw it. It landed on the '80s. Awesome, Mt. St. Helens, this should be fun! I walked over to my door, closed it, and thought to myself, "Mt. St. Helens is on the other side of this door," and when I opened it, I was a couple miles from the base of the volcano. I walked over to a log cabin I saw and knocked on the door. A rather "woodsy" looking man, with beard and everything, opened the door. "Yes? Who are you and what are you doing at my cabin?" He asked. He seemed a little irritated but not enough to make someone angry. "I was wondering if you could tell me when that volcano erupts," I told him.

      "What volcano? You mean ol' St. Helens over there? She ain't no volcano, just another pile of dirt and rocks." He told me. "But there has been some low rumblin' goin' on late at night in case you were wondering." Just then, there was a very loud, low rumbling noise. "Alright, thanks. See ya, gotta go!" I quickly flew up to the peak of the mountain and got ready for the eruption. Wanting to make it fun, I summoned a sled, like you would use on snow. I sat down and said, "Whenever you're ready!" At that moment, the entire ground beneath me started to move. I slowly started to slide down when I saw gysers of rock and dust popping up all over the place in front of me.

      I leaned back and forth, left and right avoiding these mini eruptions. I was about halfway down the mountain and suddenly I was pushed up straight into the air, about 50 feet. A hole had opened up right below me! I started falling to the ground when I pulled up on the tip of the sled, trying to make it fly. I leaned back, trying to lift up, and when I was about 10 feet off the ground it finally started to rise. At this point I just made a B-line for the bottom hovering several feet above the ground, still trying to avoid the gysers. It was much easer in the air, slicing through air instead of dirt and rocks. It took me a minute, but I finally made it to the bottom.

      I didn't want to miss the show so I dropped the sled and flew up to about 200 feet and just hovered there, watching the eruption. A huge chunk of the side of the mountain was missing and massive amounts of ash and soot were pouring out of the hole. The cloud was enormous, thousands of feet high, maybe even miles. It stretched well into the clouds. I looked down at the ground behind me and saw a pyrocalstic flow blowing through the forest. It was heading right towards the cabin I had stopped at! Not wanting to let the guy die, I headed down there to try and help. I had actually started to like him . I thought as hard as I could and snapped my fingers. In an instant, the cabin was gone. I hoped it had worked and it was someplace where the eruption wasn't.

      Well, that task was done, and I figured it would be in my best interest to try and do another one. I decided I would to the brownie camera and take a picture, since that one seemed more simple. I snapped my fingers imagining myself in an old house and a camera on an end table. In the blink of an eye, I was in an old house, but there was no camera. I searched for it a little bit and headed into a room next to the one I was in. I saw somebody holding up a camera and one of those bulbs or whatever they used for a flash. I then saw a family standing in front of a white wall. I ran into the family and photo bombed it . I was an ass, but I didn't really care, it was a dream

      The flash happened right as I got into the group, and I was eager to see what the picture looked like. Obviously annoyed, the person whom I assume was the father of the family stepped over to me. "Hey, what the devil do you think you're doing? This is meant to be a nice family photograph. Not many people get these you know!" He seemed really angry. "Hey calm down pops. Would you like me to take another one?" I figured I might as well, since I couldn't remember whether I had to be in one or take one. "Why yes, that would be alright." He replied.

      I got behind the camera where the photographer had been. I asked him to move out of my way so I could take a picture and he reluctantly agreed. "Okay, now how do you work this thing?" I asked him. There was no obvious "picture" button, and I had to cause the flash manually, I believe. "Well, first of all you have to hold this contraption here to created enough light for the photo. You pour the powder in here," he said, as he did it for me, "and then press this button to make it go off. Then, right as you create the flash you hold this button here," he pointed to a large button on the side of the camera, "and count to 10. Once you're done, you pull this lever and the photo comes out here," he said, pointing to a large slot on the front of the camera.

      "Okay, I think I got it," I told him. "Smile!" I told the family. They didn't make any facial expression, and I pressed the button for the flash while also pressing the large button on the camera. I counted in my head, "1, 2, 3..." and when I got to 10 I let go. "Okay, now I pull this lever?" I asked the man. He nodded and I pushed down on the lever. A small piece of paper came out with a faded image on it. "How do I get the picture to look clearer?" I asked the man. "Oh, you have to soak it in a special solution, here, give it to me." I handed it over to him and he placed it in a small pool of an orange liquid. The family whom I had just taken a picture of leaned over my shoulder as I leaned over the photographers, trying to see what he was doing. After about 12 seconds he took the picture out and placed it in a towel.

      He rubbed off all the excess residue and handed me the photo. I looked at it, and could see it clear as day. It looked just like the family, only as clear as a modern digital picture. It was still in black and white, however. "Oh, how lovely," the woman said. I assume she was the mother. "Here," I said, giving it to them. "I hope this makes up for the other one." I told them. "Oh, it certainly does," said the woman. "Hey, if you don't mind could I see the other one?" I asked the photographer. "Sure, let me just wash this one as well," he said, as he took the other piece of paper and placed it in the solution. After a bit he took it out and cleaned it off. "Hmm, that's odd," he said, rather concerned which made me very intrigued. "Can I take a look?" I asked. He handed me the picture and I studied it. I could see the family just fine, and saw that they were surprised, looking at me jumping in front of them, but I wasn't there. I found this extremely strange but, before I could think any more about it,
      I woke up.

      Woo! I got two done in one dream! This is awesome The photo one still makes me think, but hey, I got the task finished and that's all that matters in the end



      Second dream: I was having some sort of sexual encounter, though I can't comepletely recall it. All I remember is feeling as if I was achieving orgasm and ejaculation, but at the same time I woke up. It felt almost exactly as if I had a wet dream, only it had actually happened after I woke up. I slowly got up, not wanting to make any more of a mess than was already there, and headed into the bathroom to clean up. Before I left my room I checked the clock. Only 2:00? I had only been asleep for about 2 1/2 hours. Just as a quick RC I looked away then looked back, still 2:00. Alright, not a FA. I walked into the bathroom and checked my underwear, but it was completely dry. No jizz or anything. I did 2 more RCs, checking my hands and plugging my nose, but they both failed, I was still awake.

      I didn't want to lose any more sleep since I had school in the morning so I went straight back to bed.

    13. School Fire/ Shootout

      This dream was like a mixture of non-lucid, and lucid. At times i felt like i was in control in other times i felt like i was just observing, and not actually experiencing. And that's probably due to being a rookie at lucid dreaming.

      I was in class, and the fire alarm went off. Of course, everyone jumped up and ran outside. One of the parts that really stood out to me was the fact that some people in my class went and used the elevator, and everyone knows you're supposed to use the stairs during a fire.

      I was actually walking with them when they were going to the elevator, and by the time i realized how stupid that was, they were already in it and the door was about to close. I was telling them that they shouldn't use it, but they didn't listen. Then my professor came walking up all slow, (like some cliche movie fire scene) and said "there's a girl trapped in the fire!"...

      Nobody cared except me, they all just shrugged their shoulders and went down on the elevator. Me and my professor ran to help the girl that was trapped, i don't really remember how we got her out or how we even made it over to her. Almost like the dream faded out...
      When it "faded in" we were outside and i was carrying the girl over my shoulder (she was unconscious), and we were crouched behind some exploded, still burning truck. People were shooting at us from the other side. Why? I have no clue...

      My professor and i didn't know what to do, so we kind of just stayed there and took cover. But then i got sick of it, and all of a sudden i had a burst of courage or something...I jumped out from the truck and pulled out two pistols and just started picking off all of the guys that were shooting at us. (That part felt very controlled, i think i was lucid at this point.) After i went Rambo on everyone, i started to realize how bizarre the dream was, and also that i was lucid, and of course...i got excited, and woke up -_-.

    14. I Wouldn't Take Your Money Like That

      by , 01-18-2012 at 02:38 AM (Inner Sanctum)
      The dream started in my mothers walk in closet, and i was going through all of my parents money. Then i started singing some dumb song that went like...

      "Singin' a Drake song, need doobies to get boobies! Singin' a Drake song, need doobies to get boobies!"
      (Why? I have no clue. And for some reason, my subconscious made a connection with that song and Family Guy. Because i remember thinking about Family Guy when i was singing it, as if it had came from the show.)

      Then i went to my sisters room and started singing the song and making dumb faces. She laughed at me, then got up and followed me back to my parents closet where i was going through the money putting it in a different container. And i kept thinking that the money i was taking was going to help me with some future endeavor.

      Then my parents called my sisters name, i had no clue where they came from. My sister took the box of money and put it away, then called back to them. By the time she answered, they were already over to where we were.

      They started screaming at me, and asking where the money was. I just kept responding that i didn't know what they were talking about. My dad rushed to my room, and looked under my bed and found a small box where i had been keeping saved money. It wasn't money that was stolen...

      My dad grabbed me by my shirt, and started screaming and yelling at me, saying that the money in the box was stolen. Then all of the sudden he smiled and said...

      "I wouldn't take your money like that."

      And just started laughing his ass off..... -_-

      I said "Man, don't play with me like that!"

      Then i woke up....

    15. The Surreal Game and the Race...

      by , 01-18-2012 at 01:11 AM (My brain and I)
      dream : comments : lucid
      18th of January, 2012

      Quite fragmentary last night. I attempted a couple of WILDs early in the morning and then later on just before I woke up but kept losing consciousness. Anywho...


      I was at a university where a whole bunch of interactive science experiments had been set up in a giant entry way. One of them that a guy had was three spinning tops connected to helium balloons (1, 2 and 3 balloons respectively). As long as the tops were spinning, the force kept them attached to the ground. I stopped the top with one balloon in an attempt to see how strongly the balloon pulled it upwards and it slowly started floating toward the roof. I grabbed it and restarted its spinning which made it stay on the bench it was on. Ooooh, dream physics!
      After that one, I stopped the top with three balloons and let it go briefly and it shot straight up into the air and onto the roof, which was about 30m high. Oops.

      Later on I was writing a thesis with Jono and Ben about how everything is related and made up of the same elements. Our inspiration came from a 2D game that we suddenly found ourselves in where we turned from blobs into fish into weird spiky things and kept changing, floating through blackness with no task. It was incredibly surreal.

      -----


      In an obstacle course/race of some description. We had to jump over water and crawl under low trees. I ended up winning even though I felt I shouldn’t have. Mr. Cruwys wrote me a letter of recommendation.

      -----

      Nooks and I moved house again* and I moved back in with Colin. It was dark and dank and horrible. Eventually the guys came home and started making a casserole that they’d had “before that race the other day.” I said that I “won that like a boss” in reference to the earlier dream.


      *possible dream sign here – have to keep an eye on that.
