NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1:

I'm outside and I see this DC pull off this crazy stunt where he shoots an arrow at some tall plank, and it rebounds off of it and hits another plank and finally hits the target. I can't remember what the target looked like, but I was surprised on the accuracy.

Dream 2:

I'm outside, most likely from my University, I see this girl (let's call her "Syd." I had her for Chemistry lecture class and Chemistry lab as well during my first semester in college).

She was standing there with her boyfriend, and we were waiting for buses to arrive. Apparently one was delayed, so I went to another bus that looked out of place from the rest. I go in without asking the driver if this is the substitute for the delayed bus, and then Syd goes in with me and sits near the front I believe.

Her boyfriend gets on another bus I think.

I'm in a line to get lunch in the cafeteria. suddenly I notice that Katsuno visited my school; he is behind me in the line.
Katsuno himself gets a hot lunch, but in my line all the foods are out so I waited more longer and then I finally get salad instead of sandwich I wanted...
Katsuno and I walked thru the hall way to go to my art class. (the atmosphere in art class was same as IRL) Katsuno sits back at the black table and I asked my teacher that whether I can draw or paint still life. I pick a white paper from the cabinet to draw a vase...
Foggy recall here. When the school bell rings Katsuno and I go outside walking on the path that leads to my home. He rides a pink bicycle and I push the back of it... someone is following us.

All I remember is finding myself at that point where a dream is fading and, even though you know you're about to wake up, you can't stay in the dream. I stayed in this state for several seconds and figured I would try a DEILD. When I woke up I layed completely still, and imagined a simple dream enviornment. After what felt like 30min I figured it wasn't going to work and just got up. The clock said 10:01, and just to be sure I turned away and looked back at it. Still 10:01. It makes sense that the DEILD didn't work, I had already gotten 10 hours of sleep so I likely wouldn't fall asleep very easily



There was one other dream that I knew I had, but I can't remember it right now. For some reason I didn't write any of these down right away Will edit if it comes to me.

Ok so my dream last night was pretty much all over the place, and I'm sure the following structure is artificial due to my mind's desire to make the story more followable, but you get the picture this way at least.

15/1/12
As far as I can remember, the dream starts with my family having just come into some money to take us out of our life-long debt (which we do not have IRL), of which my dad wastes on something extravagant [in some sort of Family Guy manner]. Angry with him, we all get into a rusty old car and set off.

Our journey takes us to a rollercoaster-shaped path - throwing us up into the air over every hill. The car disappears without us noticing, and I realise the small cart I'm sitting on (now detached from the rest of my family) is rather unstable! I put all my effort into keeping it stable, but I'm more concerned about my more less-well-balanced family, particularly at the speeds we're all going.

We all make it safely to a platform in the water (apart from my mum, who had to swim the last bit) which features a set of bungee ropes and two body straps. In my mind I know I've done this before, and that it catapults you across the body of water to another rollercoaster, yet there if you don't strap yourself in fast enough, you risk serious injury. I barely save my sister as she slowly attempts to go first. The ropes snap off violently into the distance and we wait for the next set to arrive.

The rollercoasters then appear to be a video game, and we're all back in my front room back home, with the addition of my cousins and aunt. I get a brief glimpse that this is an Adventure Time video game, seeing Finn and Jake, while also finding out the aim is to deliver an extremely sugary cake to a group of rappers (given to me by P Diddy himself - I don't even like his music). My sister and spoilt cousin try the game but do not even reach the rollercoaster level, so I offer to try. My aunt gets stressed and says my cousin has another go (rather unfairly, yet I go along with it as the elder) before she breaks down into tears, claiming she doesn't want another go! A tense family feud ensues, and I unfortunately never get the chance to deliver the cake to those disappointed rappers

My whole family was gathered at my dads house for a party. We were mostly in the living room. My little brother thought it would be funny to tell the entire family that I liked My Little Pony. Instead of denying it, I tried to explain why. I told them that the characters were interesting, the conflicts are often humorous and sometimes serious, and that the lessons at the end were good. They didn't buy it of course, so I had to endure strange looks for the rest of the time.

I tried to do MILD last night but no luck, and my alarm didn't go off to do WILD for some reason. So I'm still trying to get there


Some kind of disease
Non-Lucid: I'm lying somewhere but I don't know where. Maybe it is a hospital, maybe the cafeteria again. Earlier in the dream I was attempting to do something, but I don't remember what. I have these yellow Bubo like things all over my body, and one massive one on my stomach. I'm just lying there and then I'm woken up. (In real life).

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was in a classroom. I sat in a desk one or two rows back from the front and a little toward the left of the classroom. The classroom door was on the left side of the wall that the desks faced. The light of the classroom was a greenish fluorescent.

The classroom was probably full of people. Everybody may have seemed about my age. But the class felt almost like a high school class.

I sat twisted in my desk, the left side of my head propped up by my left hand. I was watching a woman or girl give a speech about something. The woman was giving the speech while seated at her desk.

I knew that the woman's speech wasn't popular. She had expressly decided to say something she knew other people wouldn't like. Plus, her speech may have been boring.

I was taking a little bit of a secret pleasure in knowing that the woman's speech was not well-received. She may have acted arrogant toward me in the past. So now I was happy to see people treating her indifferently.

Somehow (maybe because of a bell?) the people all knew that the class period was over. They all got up and left the class, even though the woman was still giving her speech. The woman continued, seeming only a little put-off by being ignored by everybody.

I now felt bad for the woman. I didn't think everybody would be so indifferent toward her. I thought she must feel horrible. So I listened harder to what she was saying, as if I were really interested in it.

At some point, the speech was done. The woman was still seated in her desk. There were a couple other people in the room. One of them was some male friend of mine. He seemed a little bit older and classier than I.

My friend made some criticism of the woman's speech while walking about on the left side of the classroom. He then addressed me as he walked out of the classroom.

I understood the criticism the man had given the woman, though he'd addressed it to me. I tried to respond by adding onto the criticism in some witty way, and by using an accent. I may have been trying to sound French. But my attempt was horrible.

My friend, standing just outside the classroom, told me, in a half-distracted way, that my accent was horrible. I stood up and walked out of the classroom. I told the man that I agreed with him. I told him I thought I sounded like --.

But I couldn't remember the name of the person I was thinking about. She was a cartoon character, from the Bullwinkle show. I might have kept saying "Badenov, Badenov," because I remembered she was Boris Badenov's partner in crime. But I couldn't remember the character's first name.

(Of course, it's Natasha.)

Orgy of Heroes
Recall: 4/10
Sleep: Good
Sleep Position: Switching back and forth, left side and right side

I'm in a mall, fighting off a bunch of super villains with a group of people. I don't seem to have any super powers, other than the power of being bad ass. I've got a bo staff that I'm whacking enemies with.

I see a couple of my allies duck into a store to chase some woman, and when I look in to check on them, they are being held immobile by some woman with white hair and wind powers. I can see the wind pinning my allies down. I charge in and beat the wind woman in the head with my bo staff.

My side prevails, and we end up at some house. I launch some sort of movie or program, and we end up with a bunch of female pornstars, which leads to an orgy. It's a hell of a good time, and when it's over, I replay the scenario.

In the next iteration, I try to hook up with the girl I was with last time, but she goes off with someone else. I settle for a blonde, and figure I'll get my girl on the next go. But on the next round, there is no sex at all, and I begin to recognize there are key points that are randomized.

On the final reset, I'm still wanting to nail that first girl again, but instead the homeowners show up. They don't like seeing a bunch of strangers in their house, but I take control of the situation and persuade the husband that it's no big deal. He's no longer upset, there was no harm done, and we all leave the house.

Multiple versions of the same dream are always tough to recall for me. I didn't quite capture just how awesome that dreams was.

Tennis Locker Room, Become lucid Found a GUIDE, but they didn't say if they were my DG....

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Afternoon nap (~4pm-6:52PM) I slept while using the Mouse Plugin for the FIELD method, but I woke up with the mouse near the left side of my pillow (when resting on my head and look to my left that is) instead of being on the lower left side of my left hand).

Dream 1:

I was inside the Men's locker room in Cypress Lakes High School. There were a bunch of familiar DCs. I didn't know what I was doing at the time, but I was just standing there watching people do random things. They were talking about random things as well.

I found that the Tennis Section in the locker was located on the left side rather than on the right side in waking life. I see two racquets on a bench while DCs gear up to go outside I guess. Then the racquet vanishes. Everything in the dream kind of goes into these small skips.

After some randomness, the most noticeable thing here is I'm suddenly near some statue where I had to use Mangekyou Sharingan.

I think I asked a random DC if the statue didn't have Itachi's eyes instead of mine (like a replica of it I mean). Or maybe it was the other way around where a DC asks me.

Then I realize it's my own eyes because apparently some DC told me there's a little dot on the lower right and left-hand corners of the eye.

I actually started saying "MANGEKYOU SHARINGAN" on the statue, and when I fixed my eyes and kept them opened, they kind of diluted my vision. (Okay.....why am I exactly doing this??? As I'm typing this, I think I had a small argument with my father in a dream fragment because I told him I couldn't do something, but he said it's okay and that we'll doing something else or something like that).



After a few tries, I realized I just had to keep my eyes open and the statue would match my eyes. It opens up, and I just had to make sure my eyes were open all the time just to be safe. I can see everything slowly open up, the sides of some door expand to move apart from each other, and they had spiky stony ends to them.

Then I go in some random room where I sit down I think and listen to a DC give some slideshow presentation on an overhead. After being bored from the bull-crap they're saying, I just know I'm dreaming. I didn't do any reality checks, it was weird in fact, this state of mine at the time. I just went with the flow and saw the edge of the table and thought "Handgun" because I was about to shoot this DC spewing out random crap.

A gun forms pretty quickly, I grab it and then tried to shoot it, but nothing. But I concealed that fact to the DC and saw some random female DC on the floor. She looked pretty to be honest, probably Hispanic, and maybe resembled a colleague of mine in the Biochemistry Department.

She gets up, and I told her that she's going to show me my guide. (I'm not sure if I only said just my guide or DG, but whatever) She opens the door in front of us, nothing happens, just leads to another door. We walk in this small area of darkness and head for the door. Before I could even manifest the thought that my Dream Guide will be at the other side, the door already opens.

There's this black man in a black durag, a blue hard jacket with no sleeves and underneath was some gray sweater and he had some dark jeans on who looks like the same guy who wanted a chain when Chris from "Everybody Hates Chris" prevented him from snatching one.

(The guy on the right of the picture...LOL.)

At first I didn't want to go "WTF is this shit going on here?"

Then the black guy tells the girl to quickly lock the door, as if he didn't want to be found out. Then the girl says "You're that same guy!!" in a shocked tone. I think he replies "yeah yeah yeah" in a rushed tone as if he's annoyed with the girl. I think I even see a T.V. above him when I went inside, and it was showing some kind of police investigation or something like that.

Then I move around a little bit, look back at him, and he gets up. I asked him if he's the guide (but I didn't say Dream Guide, I'm sure as hell positive that I couldn't say Dream Guide, even before the door opened). I move back as he comes forward to me.

I thought he was going to attack me since he made a quick movement picking something up, but he was just moving something out of my way. He goes on this wild tangent and I predicted what he was going to say. He questioned to me something like, "Oh you mean the who can keeps you whole" (he did it while holding on to the word "whole" like how you hold on to a part of a word when speaking like "Hola" or something like that").

Then I realize he's just spewing out things that a friend told me about finding out her life guide in a certain PM I sent to her, but I won't reveal who.

Then he talks as if he's asking me a question again, and starts listing things like problems I have, new thoughts, etc.

Then I started to get a little bored, or maybe just traumatic that a DC who looks like an ex-convict is talking to me about things I knew it would probably say.

But as I listened to the guy, I pretty much had this shocked expression on my face with my mouth slightly open, and probably one eyebrow raised up as I'm questioning this guy's existence.
Then I woke up. One thing I'm sure, and I'm sure I've made the right call saying this, I didn't not ask the DC if he was my Dream Guide.

I just questioned it if it was THE GUIDE, so in a way, he's probably just a guide to show me where my Dream Guide is, because he answers in a question as if it's some preview to something he's going to show.

I'm sure as hell right that I never dreamed about a black DC and asking if he was a guide, NOT a Dream Guide.

Only way to find out is to become lucid again. And I become lucid after like over 90 minutes of sleep? Which was kind of rare for me. I guess I can start having dreams and becoming lucid for a while during NON-REM, or maybe it's Rem rebound.

But ehhh, this just leads me with more questions in finding my dream guide. I'm not going to deny the possibility the guy may be my dream guide given the situation that he wanted to be hidden from something. But that means I'll have to question and DCs accurately rather than them acting like professional riddle tellers that will just piss me off more.

Well, i skipped for a couple days, the first night i didnt dream anything. Last night i got really drunk, and dont remember anything except a couple of fragments. Gotta stay motivated.

dream : comments : lucid

16th of January, 2012

HORRIBLE night’s sleep. I was literally waking up every 45 minutes or so. I suppose it was an excellent opportunity for some WILDs but they didn’t happen. I know at one point I was kind of lucid and actually discussing dreams I’d had earlier in the night with someone but that doesn’t really count.

So. A whole bunch of weird fragments, if you so please. The last one was pretty cool.

I was with Nooks in a forest of some sort and was naked. Nooks wanted to get jiggy, but there were people everywhere. Eventually Emma came up and was crying because she’d rented some cars and couldn’t take them back in time because they had flat batteries. I was more worried about getting some pants on. We went back with Emma to a hotel and she wrote a story about this really nancy guy which at the time was amazing and I wish I could remember how it went. Wendy drew an awesome picture of the guy and set it as my desktop.

-----

DreamViews Academy was a real, yet intangible place. It was like a university campus that people visited but only in one plane or something. Like astral projection. I was there with a black guy and we were doing dream experiments (I can’t believe I didn’t do a RC at some point here!). It was 6:30AM wherever I was and simultaneously on some other plane of existence we were also talking on the phone and I was reading his profile which was all about aliens and creeped me out too much to sleep.

-----

At the shops, some junkies wanted us to buy them supplies or give them money. One of them had a really fancy, elegant plate of food.

-----

In a highrise construction zone watching holographic movie parodies that you looked at through glass. One was Kevin Costner saying the same line over and over again with different inflection each time.

-----

A guy jumped out of a helicopter and went snowboarding down a ridiculously crazy hill with basically no snow on it and just got all effed up.

-----

And finally, a proper one:

I’m not sure where we were- maybe Canada or the US, Nooks was going to a speed-dating event (apparantly her 3rd one) and wanted me to entertain myself while she went but I got annoyed and upset with her.

Before she left, we went to a toy store that had really elaborate Star Wars Lego. On the way out, I picked up an Etch-A-Sketch and wrote “Be Happy” on it which Nooks said was the greatest thing anyone had ever created on one. Then she decided not to go to her event.

Later on we got free tickets to a play which we were really looking forward to but turned out to be a dodgy highschool production. I tried to take a burrito into the theatre but wasn’t allowed so I went outside to finish it. I got back in just as it started. There was a fat guy dressed as a woman singing a song which I can’t remember and the play was about… I have no idea actually. At some point I swapped seats with other people and during one scene I got on stage with the guy next to me and showed the actors where a spray bottle was amongst a shelf of office supplies.

Somehow after leaving the play, the dream turned into a twisted version of the opening sequence of The Simpsons called “Homer plus family” and instead of showing them all running through Springfield it had some really screwed up stuff. One part that I remember was Homer killed a bear and was wearing its skin which started to rot and Marge turned into a bush then crashed a car into a crowd.

At the end, Homer got out of the skin and was naked and started running home. At that point it turned into me and I was running naked through the streets at morning. It was actually pretty funny and lots of people were laughing and I got on the news.

Two seperate naked dreams in one night? What's up with that?

Backing Up
I am at work, somehow I ended up back working at a data center at a hospital again. Not the job I was looking for. I am feeling quite depressed that it seems my years of school have all come to naught. What a waste. I sit at the computer, staring at the reports detailing that all systems are functioning normally. I am at least glad for that. I can sit there and be depressed in peace. I am sitting there when a coworker comes in early for his shift. He asks how the backups went last night… oh, shit! The backups! I forgot totally about running the backups! How could I have managed to do that? I jump from the seat and rush out to put in the backup tapes, maybe there's still time to get them done…


Caves of Darkness
I am in a dark place, I am in a cave of some kind. It is pretty dark, but somehow I can still see well enough to find my way. I follow the cave for a while, not sure where I have to go to get out of the caves. Where is the exit? Is there even an exit? Well there has to be an exit, I got in there somehow… so I turn around and head in the direction it seems I just came from. That's the best chance of finding an exit. I come to a large underground chamber, and in the chamber there are strange creatures. I finally identify them as trolls. The trolls are lumbering around aimlessly, they don't seem to know what they are doing and are thus doing nothing. A troll sees me and lumbers right up in front of me. It does not attack me, instead it stands there and looks at me as if it has never seen a human before. Maybe it hasn't… The troll bends over and picks up a shiny rock and hands it to me. It smiles, or looks like the troll equivalent of a smile, and then walks back out into the large chamber and wanders around with the others.

colorado hotel
i went to colorado to see family i found that the town they lived in was coved in taixdermy. (i have a phobia of taxidermy) i met my brothe which i didnt know i had and his friend who had lost his hand in a war but none of this was mentioned again. they took me around twon for a while then after a few hours they took me back to the hotel. i had trouble sleeping because the walls of my foom had been covered in taxidermy and i was rather nervous. i went to the room across the hall finding that it was my brothers friend that answered the door, he welcomed me in. looking around i saw his room was completely clean of the horrid 'art form' over joyed with this i hugged the man and kissed him. we then layed down in his bed finding ourselves very comfortable in countinuing the kissing. we ended up having sex but the dream ended before we did.
iornman dad
im in the car with my dad talking about his last trip.when i tell him i found his other kids "im sure i have a few,youre the only one i ever cared about meeting though" he says. "i can see why the others are so unattractive." i say. "how did i turn out so good?" we both lauggh then pull into a drive way. we get out and see all the cars he has made/altered. "im holding you back you are going to do some amazing things and youre going to be rich, your going to be a super hero." i tell him. "like in all those comic books we read? isnt that all made up?" i shrug and walk up the drive way and to the house we talk for a while longer and then i woke up.

Squirrel, Pokemon, Another Ginger
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I thought I didn't recall anything, but I took a morning shower and remember bits of what happened.

Dream 1:

I think I was somehow floating maybe 1-3 feet of the ground in this random neighborhood. It was probably afternoon or early morning in this dream. I think I was wearing jeans and my brown leather jacket.

I moved pretty fast to the point where I stopped using my feet and just moved consciously (hard to explain, I just kind of re-directed myself to a random location).

Then it turns to night, or maybe this is a dream fragment combined with another one, but there was this squirrel that was actually defending itself rather than running away when I tried to scare it away. Then it started to move really fast and it even attached to parts of my body.



It took a while before I finally got it off my body, and I started to dash really quick to escape. (Ironic that I'm running from a f*cking squirrel, A SQUIRREL DAMN IT, and I'm not lucid)

That's all I remember for that one.

Dream 2:

I think I'm Ash Ketchum in this dream because there are random anime DCs who fit the Pokemon art style coming after me. I don't know why, but I'm scared because of course, rather than asking them why they are chasing me, I go to random areas to try and hide from them.

Eventually I get into a car or a taxi, and the windows are tinted, so the DCs couldn't see me. I decided that even though I was safe, I decided to take off my hat (it's weird, I felt like I was Ash).

So when I do, I just wait for the vehicle to move, but I think the taxi driver or whatever had a screen up that said the person inside was "Ash." The DCs that were after me saw this and I'm thinking "WHAT THE FUCK MAN, WHY DID YOU BLOW MY COVER???"

That's all I remember for that one.

Dream 3:

I think I'm running in the rain late in the afternoon, I don't know where I'm going, but I pass by a DC that looked exactly like my Biology SI Tutor when I took Biology 111 at my University the first semester of college as a freshmen.

I tried to ignore her because I thought she wouldn't respond, but she's like "Hey Brandon" in that usual happy tone she uses to greet people when they come to the free tutoring.

Now that I think about it, she still said "Hi" when I thought she was just a random DC.

The lady sucking my air out the last dream, and then seeing the lady in red in the dream entry before that....something is up. I'm just being ignorant, but I can't blame myself, I was non-lucid.

This dream happened a few months ago, but I wanted to write it down because it's my most vividly remembered dream so far. And also quite interesting.

Non-lucid: Don't ask me how i know it was Italy, I just knew. I am sitting in a car in an alleyway. It's really bright out, in fact, there are no shadows at all. The car takes off full speed, the person in front driving through what looks like a market-place. The local DC's are getting angry with the reckless driving, but most ignore it. Next thing I know I'm standing in the center of town with a good friend of mine. We seen a man on a horse with a sword and bolt. The man on the horse, who's wearing black robes and whose face I don't remember (I think he was a representation of "The man in black" from Stephen Kings "The Dark Tower" which I am currently reading), hacks at my friends head. She's dead, I begin to run over to her, but then turn and run the other way as I realize the the man is now coming after me. Sure enough, I'm stabbed right in the back of the head. I fall stomach to the ground, and this is where the dream get's weird.
I start rising out of my body, spiraling upwards as the man rides away. Now I'm in some giant, blueish cube. Before I go any further, I'd like to point out that I am an atheist. In this cube, there are many floating, clear platforms with people climbing up them, some sort of "stairway to heaven" I guess. I huge man, and I mean absolutely massive, speaks to me. My best guess is that he was a representation of God, because I constantly find myself questioning my own beliefs. He tells me that I can either go back to earth and spend eternity as a spirit there, or I can spend eternity in the cube. I choose Earth because, hey, at least there's things to watch there. The dream ends immediately after I choose earth, and I wake up.
