non-lucid

Cartoon Worm

This is the second cartoon dream I've ever had. This makes it really strange to me.

It was like I was watching a movie, but the events were real. There was a green caterpillar, but in my dream it was some type of worm. It was green with a dark green stripe and a light green stripe.

The worm was on a stick under water. It swam from the right side of my field of view to the left, but then it saw a snake, so it swam back to the stick and tried to hide behind it, though the worm was much larger than the stick.

The worm was swimming to a mate, but couldn't make it due to the snake. I watched the worm swim in an undulating motion the way you might expect a worm to wiggle.

When the worm was hiding behind the stick, he started shaking with fear. I could almost see the lines that one would draw to indicate shaking with fear.

The worm eventually swam to find it's mate again, but the dream ended.

1/10/12(Late Morning)*

** Don't move! Don't open your eyes! I actually remembered! Woohoo! I keep my eyes closed and don't move. I now think about the dream I just left. I now quickly fade back into my dream.*

** I now find myself back in the same dream, in the same spot. I'm back with the convoy. We're still securing the city. It takes me a minute, but I finally remember. Oh yeah, this is a dream! Woohoo! My first normal DEILD!*
** So I'm now lucid! Kick-ass! So I actually remember to do my task to jump off the Twin Towers this time. However, I now have a false awakening!
** I now "awake" in a building in the city I was just in. I get up, and I start walking around. Everyone is in casual wear now instead of our battle gear. I also noticed some of my family members were here too. I eventually went to sit down by a window. I had a nice view of the city outside. A nice set of buildings. A good second floor view.*
** I now notice something bizarre. There was some stuff all over the streets and grass. Literally mass puddles of it. A shiny liquid. A shiny liquid of a pure red color. It was blood.*
** "What the hell is that?!" I exclaim. The commander comes over and looks outside. He becomes worried, and gets us ready. I go outside now to keep watch. However the dream soon fades and I awake. This time I fail to DEILD. **

I remember talking to someone who reminded me of this girl I dated once. I was thinking it was her for a while, and just waiting for us to argue about something, but it never happened. I don't remember what we talked about, but I was also thinking about "whenever I go back". I knew I didn't belong there, but it was weird....like I just knew I didn't belong in that part of the dream or something.

Had another dream I was in New York with my sister. We were getting a tour at several buildings and this lady told us to get off the fence.


Had a frag where I was watching a movie with my cousins. This lady wakes up in some metal suit and doesn't know where she's at. The suit covers her arms, legs and head. Her torso is exposed, and she's looking around, trying to get the hell out. Some big ugly guy tells her to go back to where she was, and she decides to high tail it. As soon as she does, the guy grabs her by the face, slings her on the ground and she goes unconscious. The guy takes out a knife and makes four slashes on her chest and takes up chunk by chunk and starts eating her. I told my cousins "why did this guy use a standard text book dissection technique to open her up?"

There was a manga called Battle Royale where a classroom was taken out of school and forced to fight for survival on a island. This dream is a lot like it. This dream was actually yesterday but I couldn't be bothered write it up.
Dream
I was in a weird place with white walls that had black patterns on them. I was with some guy who had shades and long black hair. I forged an alliance with saying that I wouldn't kill him, I eventually did kill him. I met up with his brother after killing him. I felt bad so I guess I let him kill me.

Yeah it was non-lucid so I say I'm not reponsible for my actions. I think of killing people.

Dream 2
I was in a Star Wars army. First I'm on the Coruscant surface but its like a game where you create a town and only create one square. I can see blackness around. The buildings I run around and get into a ARC-170 fighter and took off the dream faded.


And I'm back only I'm in a mix of Row:The Third and Coruscant. I'm on foot and make my way to a tower, it's night time and the are enemy ships in the sky.

Fade out and in. I'm somewhere that I'm unfamiliar with. I'm used to all this Star Wars stuff so I do a nose plug and run into a X-Wing and take off, shooting at TIE fighters, I would guess.

I'm assuming that since I went lucid and followed the plot of the dream, I lost lucidity and faded into another dream where I was on Hoth but I could see Space, not only that it was like I was in a space ship even though I had just left the Snowspeeder hangar. I looked down the plains of snow and saw Star Destroyers. I took cover and started shooting at them. Like a little blaster projectile is going to damage an entire Imperial vessel.

1/10/12(Late Morning)

** I dream I am in an odd room. It's a lightless room made of all cement and we're in a full cement building. However there are huge windows all around the room. So even though we lack lights, we have the Sun' s natural light coming in and keeping everything bright enough. We're really only just sitting there BSing.*
** Well it's about time I explain who the the hell "we" is. It's myself of course. Then it's my good friend's girlfriend. Then the rest of the people are too vivid for me to remember. So not too sure there. Moving on!
** We now suddenly bring up the subject of "what is the true meaning of Christmas?" odd topic to discuss. I look outside. Just a beat down worthless city. Looks like a war happened here. I also notice no snow, which allows me to think we're nowhere near Christmas now.*
** I speak up now. I ramble on for about a minute or two telling everyone what I believe s the true meaning of Christmas. Everyone seems really enlightened by this. I do in fact state that being with family is the true meaning. Everyone seems very happy now. Not so sunk down like before.*
** I soon leave, and the next few parts of this dream are super vivid. I can't recall if I woke up temporarily or not. I do recall awakening once or twice if I'm correct. I can't recall though.*
** The dream is now very clear again. Appear to be walking back towards the building. I am very nervous. I am also very proud of myself. I do t know why yet, cause of the vividness.*
** I now spot two very hot girls. I can only recall one of them, and she is a hot girl I do know for real. The other one is two vivid, but I think knew her too. I approach the girls and stop them. I have each one stand on my sides. We continue walking and I begin to brag about something as we're going upstairs to the room I was previously in.*
** "Yeah, I just joined the Air Force you know." I brag. Air Force?! Oh hell no! Why would I ever join the Air Force?! "Yeah, I'm gonna be a pilot and all. Fighting for the country. Those jets don't fly themselves you know." The girls seem uninterested though and leave. Dammit! I joined the Air Force for nothing!*
** My dream now suddenly switches me over to a battlefield! I'm in battle gear and I have a lovely M429 Assault Rifle. Oh hell yeah bitches! Full auto, bipod, 100 round mag(I've got lay off the Battlefield 3...)!*
** I realize this is a massively important battle now, and get serious. We're in a war-ridden city. It could be the one I was just in and left a moment ago. But who knows for sure? It's really dark out, and dark storm clouds are high above. It could rain any second now!
** The commander instructs me to take someone out in a building up ahead. He's on the third or second(I don't recall exactly) to last top floor. I pull up my rifle and open fire. However, I believe I fail to hit. The commander seems pissed. He now instructs me to go plant charges in the building. Everyone else will keep suppressing fire to cover me.*
** I take some charges and dash out like a cheetah. My teammates unleash a massive suppressing fire on the enemy. It's working, I'll say that. Not a single bullet is fired at me. Its obvious we're trying to claim this city or something. This part of my dream might be a telling of how I got to that run down city in the first part of my dream. But I'm in the army in this part, so I think I'm playing separate roles in this dream. A refugee joining the air force, and now I'm a kick-ass marine!*
** I soon get into the building unharmed. There is some dim and crappy lighting in here. I don't like the feeling I'm getting in here. The dream becomes vivid now. However, it stabilizes after I've planted some explosives in the building. I begin to run off, and I'm now attacked. The dream becomes vivid again, and it begins to fade.*
** I however find myself now back at my old house. What the hell? Why does this crap keep happening dammit? I now see my friend Victor(previously known as Red, but no more nicknames for people I really know). He's dressed in full army battle gear. I realize I am too. There's also a huge platoon of us dressed up and ready to go.*
** Victor now hands me a helmet and a bag. I put the helmet on, which feels a little heavy already. I now put on the bag, which is extremely heavy. Something big and heavy is in it(well no shit Sherlock). I now say that this stuff is heavy. Victor doesn't seem to listen however. Ass...
** We now begin to sprint over towards my friend's house, whom lives a little diagonally to the right and behind my old house. This heavy crap is really slowing me down. I liked it better when I was a fast marine. I now think of when I was comparing MW3 to BF3 one time. Someone(I think my older brother) stated that the army is a heavier branch of the military. I makes sense to me now. Hooray for the fan-frigging-tastic army.*
** Now I realize his back yard is full of huge-ass puddles. I'm forced to run straight through one unfortunately. Oh well, that's what war is about. Gettin' down and gettin' dirty, right? I oddly start to run much faster in the water. That's pretty unusual I'd say.*
** We now stop in my friend's drive way. Someone unloads a bag by me. They set down a large object with huge spikes. It appears to be really heavy. I ask if that's what I have, but the guy ignores me. I now set down my bag, but then the dream becomes vivid and fades again.*
** I'm now sitting upon a tank. Okay, what the hell? So, I'm probably still in the army, but I'm a tank operative now? I'm probably just a ranger, or maybe an engineer. We appear to be in another city. We're moving in with a *huge tank convoy. Awesome, tanks rock!*
** Hm, I'm gonna take a guess in these two dream parts. The last one was most likely me as an army dude helping clear out through part of the city we're in now. This part is probably me as an army ranger with a convoy, securing this city. The city isn't beat down much either. I now soon awake.*

I was on vacation in Florida or Mexico or someplace warm. We even brought a dog (it wasn't my dog, I don't know whose it was). We drove there, but wound up getting lost and having to walk through a desert

Then I had a FA. I laughed at my brother because I recalled a dream and he didn't. (I don't think he even knows I lucid dream). I had some problems writing in my DJ, every time I typed something it disappeared.

- I was with some people and we went to Dairy Queen. I knew where we were, it was in my city; there used to be a DQ in that spot, but it closed and was replaced with a really boring store. It was mostly unfinished concrete inside, but I was happy it was back. I was a bit sad because everyone else had done something fun beforehand but I wasn't invited.

There was more to this but I didn't write it down soon enough.


- I was with K, J, G, HG and NN, we were all hanging out for some reason and it was pretty cool. G was in a wheelchair he'd apparently borrowed from a random old lady, and was rolling everywhere very enthusiastically. I ran into S in what looked like a room under construction, she was complaining about something, then a piece of wood fell on her.

Then I was in some kind of stadium or something. A tiny little girl came up to me dressed in pink and purple winter clothes and started staring at me. I smiled and said, "hi there!" She opened her mouth and a big cloud of smoke came out. I was really confused. Her mom came over. They were both Asian. The girl was still breathing smoke. I asked her mom why, and she told me the girl had some kind of disease. (she said the name and I got the impression it was a lung disease, but I don't remember what it was called) I felt awkward and was like "oh...sorry to hear that. she's really cute" or something, but it was really loud and she couldn't really hear me.

Then I was trying to figure out what to do with my backpack. The people I was with were leaving but I couldn't decide whether I wanted to leave my backpack behind or not. Finally I decided to take it with me, and ran to catch up. I realized they didn't particularly want me there, but I stayed with them anyway. They were getting on an elevator and I had to run to catch it. G returned the wheelchair.

Then we were walking down a hallway and one wall was just huge sheets of fabric that were sort of open. I saw inside it and told everyone it was "the science centre". We slipped in and went down the hall, I told them I wanted to show them a really cool exhibit of a replica of a Mayan(?) town or something. The walls were dark red and it was dimly lit. We hit a dead end after a bit, and the display I was talking about was there, but it wasn't as cool as I'd thought it was. There were shiny gold and silver sculptures of suns and moons on the back wall. On our way back, I noticed a display of bows and arrows on a wall, and we talked about how cool they were. One bow was rainbow and sort of patchy with bits of fabric on it, and one was salmon pink and really intricately carved. I inspected it for a bit as I went by.


(next day update because I just remembered the part about the little girl)

I had a dream last night in which a giant, ibex-like horn grew from the left side of my skull. Whenever I tugged at it, my nose would start bleeding. Gratuitously. I was standing in a bathtub, and the last thing I recall before I woke up was that I was ankle-deep in my own blood, and that the torrent showed no signs of stopping. I can't remember if anything else happened, but I feel as though this is only a piece of the whole dream.

I'm sure this has something to do with the sudden loss of a friend a few days ago. She didn't die, she just violently decided to end our friendship for reasons I've yet to learn. Hmm.

it started with me and a few ppl, z, haruko, lil c, judgement, asia and naota we were headed to this new philosophy school, we get there everythings nice and chill we get our classes, haruko and judgement have a class with me. well we get into the class and class starts the teacher ask me a physics question and i answer it without a problem or hesitation he asked me abunch of questions that i answered until the class was over then me, asia,z and haruko went outside asia got angry out of no where haruko and z chained her arms behind her back to the ground then asia went cray screaming and spitting fire out of her mouth then she calmed and got quite then i awoke.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Dream 1:

It's late at night, I believe I'm near a gas station. I see a beautiful girl inside of a black car with her friend. She tells me to get in, but I'm a bit skeptical because I'm worrying about something else. The girl looks like the girl who said April Fools to me when she told me she had a crush on me in High School.



So eventually she and her friend left and she's tells me, "Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee" with a smile on her face and such a kind tone to her. Then a Jeep shows up on my left and my father said I could drive it. Of course I have no experience in driving (well I do have some experience, but it was just driving a car in a huge oval near an empty parking lot near a school once or twice).

He sets the vehicle to turn left, and I go in to drive it. I move up a little and he's in another vehicle. I think he tells me that I'm going to far and that other cars might bump into me, so I reverse the vehicle a little, but when too far. Then he leaves and goes to the right instead of showing me where to go.

So I go left and stop at the light. Then I'm in another dream scenario where it's afternoon I believe and I'm driving the vehicle again and instead of pressing the brake, I'm holding on to the horn of the vehicle (basically honking to stop) and then I realize I'm on different vehicle (probably a bike but I couldn't tell).

I had to stop it with slamming my feet (I had white shoes on) on the ground really hard.

Then I think I had a another scenario where I'm riding and I meet a DC that looks like a guy I know IRL. Let's call him "Kevin." I go up to Kevin to see if he can help me with something, but I forget what it was exactly.

Then when I'm riding I see him again, in a different outfit, and he's walking randomly on the grass. So I asked him another question that I cannot remember.

(I forget what happens next from that part) Then the scenario changes again where I'm inside my apartment complex, and I tell a DC who looks like another person I knew IRL, let's call him "Av" instead of his full name. I told Av to go inside the vehicle and lock it. He starts saying that he has the keys and nothing bad will happen.

Then a black female DC comes up near us and finally convinces the kid to comply with what I wanted him to do because I didn't want some random stranger breaking in the vehicle (I don't know why I didn't let "Av" come in and wait for me instead of putting him out in danger like that). I think her reason for him going inside and locking the vehicle was because there was an Auto repair shop, and said they could probably wire the vehicle if they could go in.

All I remember for that one.

I'm on Day 7 of the FIELD induction technique, I think it's helping me remember more of my dreams.

Dream 2:

I believe I was playing an MGS game again, or maybe it was me in the dream. Anyway, I see like two yellow metal containers that had an oblong shape to them. I see a guard coming out of the door, and I immediately hide to the backside of the area I'm in and watch him walk a little to the right and then forward to the containers.

The setting was probably in a cold region (kind of like the part in MGS1 where you had to sneak outside in the cold of Shadow Moses) and it was dark too.



There were also maybe 3 red small containers of the same shape as well, and since this felt like a video game, red most likely meant they were explosives. Then I decided to shoot one of the yellow containers, and apparently it spews out poison and acid, and it immediately kills the guard.

His body vanishes just like when you kill a guard in MGS1 (it flashes a bit and then goes away). Another guard comes out and I shoot the last container when he gets close and he dies as well.

I can't remember anything else from that dream.

Dream 3:

Apparently I'm on some forum, and Pam from The Office is bitching about something I'm doing on the forum. I forgot what it was specifically, and I think below her post was Itsuki from Yu Yu Hakusho hosting some IRC party.



Dream 4:

I'm inside a house, and a black dog with a brown fur on its stomach comes to me when I call it. I put my hands out for it to come, and it bites me, but it's not angry or anything, I think it was just playing with me and having fun.

Then another dog is sleeping on a bed, and it has strings of balls up its butt (wtf)

Too disturbing to explain, so pointless that dream was.

Dream 5:

I'm walking inside of a school, most likely High School because I saw a DC that looks like a principal of Cy-Lakes High School and a female athletics coach talking to each other.

I was with a group of students and a fire alarm initiated. I forgot the response everyone had when that happened, I know I quickly went down the stairs, and I see the principal DC and the female with her say something about students being so wild over a fire alarm.



As I go out, I wait for a small line of cars coming out of a parking station you had to pay for. One allows me to walk past them, but the next section, a bus or something like that just dashes through before I can keep walking.

Dream 6:

Hiei and Makuro are talking to each other like they did in episode 109 of Yu Yu Hakusho. But this seems to be after the tournament was over though, they were in a forest I think, and they were probably having another fight with each other.



I think Makuro wanted to see how strong Hiei was (and consciously I was interested to see how strong he was too because in the actual episode, he did his most strongest technique, but wasn't able to kill Makuro because he couldn't fuel it with hatred anymore).


I can't remember all of the details of the fight, but things start slow of course. Then Hiei gets a little more serious and suddenly is flash-stepping all over the place and Makuro is panicking and trying to keep up with his speed!

Spoiler for Insight on Hiei and Makuro:

(It's rare for her to do that because she was strong even at half her power in the series, and she was in her state where she left her past behind, because before, her rage and hatred made her one of the strongest demons, so no rage+hatred = half as strong as she was).

(After Hiei broke the chains on her wrists (she couldn't break from them no matter what she did until Hiei attacked them with the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, she had this short burst of content and relief, and smirked).




And when Hiei falls down, she catches him just before he hits the ground and hugs him. (It's a nice episode if you want to see how there can be love in war. Here's a link with the summary of the episode if you want to read it rather than watch it.

http://morgan-d.net/guide/epis109.html

Hiei then has a gold aura (he had a blue aura in the actual episode, yet I didn't notice that for some reason) forming around his body and Makuro gets serious and has red aura around her body too (I'm assuming it's red because in the actual fight it was ).



Hiei charges up by putting parts of his body close together and releases these golden bursts of energy spikes at Makuro.

I think Makuro's head is chopped off into a few pieces. I thought she was going to die, but she's still alive. She picks up the pieces of her head and re-attaches it. Hiei said he would never kill her, but he wouldn't mind licking the blood spewing out from her head.

If I remember correctly, Hiei chopped off the head of the swordsman who gave him his third eye, while sacrificing his arm to do in the actual anime, and Makuro repaired both of their bodies as a reward for an interesting fight. Funny how my dream turn things around to where Makuro is the one getting part of her body chopped off.

M a y n a r d.

But I'm going to be selfish and keep that part to myself.

I really don't feel like explaining the entire dream, but there is one part that is bothering me. In the dream, my fiancee's ex-girlfriend came by while he was sleeping. Her hair was purple instead of blonde and she wore a strange hippie/hobo outfit that matched her hair. I didn't even know it was her until she started to leave. She came to the door and was trying to keep her head down while telling me to give 'these' to T. 'These' was a portfolio of paintings she had made and had wanted him to see. I asked her who she was and she just hurried off. Then I realized who it was and called her by name. She turned to look at me, but continued to leave. As I was standing in the doorway, I called T's name to wake him. She protested with a gesture and was gone. I went back inside and hesitated about opening the portfolio. I decided not to and laid it on the counter. I went off to one of the bedrooms. I was talking to someone (my ex I believe) but he actually looked and sounded like my fiancee. He was commenting on what just happened, saying, "that was weird." When I went back into the living room, the portfolio was torn to pieces. My "ex" picked up some pieces and said, "Wow, these are actually really good." I was scared. I hadn't expected my fiance to wake up so soon or what kind of reaction he would make. I wandered down the hallway after hearing his voice. He was talking real muffled and I thought it was him crying for a moment. He was in the bathtub and I peeked it. I felt bad for him and asked if he was okay. He directed all of his anger at me by shouting at me to leave. I began to cry.

Then in the same dream, but much later, one of my REAL ex-boyfriends was trying to hook up with me. I don't know what this was all about, but I wish I hadn't had the dream about my fiancee's ex, those are ALWAYS bad for me. But, I think about my Maynard dream and smile.

My family and I were getting ready for the upcoming wedding of a family member (note: this wedding is upcoming IRL). My sister and I were trying to get dressed and pack our purses. I was in a state of stress because nothing was going well. I couldn't find my cell phone, my hair was unruly. For some reason, I was desperately scooping up potato chips and dip on the floor into a bag, as they were some kind of joke my sister had set up. I eventually found my phone, but it was low on power - how could I navigate to the venue without GPS in my car? Fortunately, a shared shuttle that looked like a cable car and contained some of my relatives stopped by, and we boarded.

Later in (I think) the same dream, I was in my grandparents' house in a room with many beds. This is the same house my cousins and I would stay in when we were little. As an adult in the dream, I was much too large for my "bed," which was little more than a doll's wooden rocking crib. I woke up (from one dream) in this bed, and realized I'd split it in two. My cousin's weren't impressed.

I stood up from the bed and realized I was dreaming. I hadn't performed a reality check of any sort. It just occurred to me that this wasn't reality. Once I realized it was a dream, the world spun and I did circles in place to stay asleep. It worked, and I continued with a few reality checks. First, I looked at my wedding band. It was there, and the metal wasn't shifting (my typical reality check), but I realized it was thinner in the dream than IRL. I wondered if it was actually a poor reality check after all and noted that I should think about it once awake.

Next, I decided to fly, since I'd been having trouble doing so. I used the advice in the forums and simply assumed I could take to the air. And I did - for a moment, but then had trouble and started merely hovering. Boo.

Some kind of demon or monster came up at this point and grabbed me. I told it to get lost, since this was a *lucid* dream, and if I couldn't even keep monsters at bay then I utterly sucked at lucid dreaming. The monster wasn't particularly scary, but he grabbed me and I was in a pool of water, so it was difficult to spin in place to keep the dream going. I managed to free myself and spin.

I started thinking about the artistic possibility of this lucid dream, and my thoughts became temporarily lost in books I'd read, like the Wheel of Time series. I was in a long building with a high ceiling, and suddenly looked up. A beautiful, animated lightshow was happening on the ceiling. The entire surface seemed pixelated - made of blueish metal squares. But in clumps and shapes, rainbow-colored groups of pixels were bulging and sliding like a bioluminescent mushroom, sending waves of color through the whole ceiling. I watched the show for a moment, wondering how "surprises" and new images are conjured up in a dream that I'm aware of.

After I'd looked long enough at the ceiling, I decided to try and improve my dream control. I decided to create the simplest of environments - a blue sky and black ground - to practice flying in. This environment started to come into view, but I struggled to sustain it, and eventually "woke up" into (I believe) another dream, in which I didn't realize was lucid and didn't remember.

I am with Jessica and we are at a baseball game looking for our seats, although it felt more like we were walking around inside of Costco. We are holding hands and walking with one another like we once did in waking life. We try to ask for help by showing our ticket to someone who works there, but it was no help. I try to bribe one of the workers to get us good seats by offering him a $20 bill. He is interested, but he could not deliver.

The scenery changes and I am somewhere in the outdoors, like in a clearing in a forest. Jessica is in the scene but away from me. There are also now many more people. We are arranged in a big circle like a carousel, and Jessica is directly across the circle from me with her friend (Ellen?). Though I am facing straight at her, she is in the furthest position from me. Every one in the circle has a rope/branch they are holding on to that reaches into the sky and and appears to converge in the center, but does not seem to be connected to anything. The circle begins to spin and we are lifted airborne by holding onto the branch. This is similar to one of those rides at the carnival that spin around in circles.

As we are spinning, my attention is focused on Jessica, who is directly across the circle from me. Directly next to me are some attractive girls. As we are spinning on this "ride" the girl next to me puts her legs around me and kisses my chest in a flirtatious kind of way. I enjoyed this but I notice that Jessica begins to get upset from seeing this. In this dream, she is still my girlfriend.

I felt the intimacy and protectiveness that I had not experienced in a long time. The dream gave me a sense of nostalgia and made me miss my ex girlfriend.

Last night was another variety of dreams. I first dreamed that it was a post apocolyptic world i think there were people hunting us. It kind of fluttered back and forth from that atmosphere to me being a bystandard in Star Wars Return of the Jedi.lol Dreams are gettting more memorable though, I am realizing that i almost always dream of things that i see during the previous day in extreme passing view. Nothing that i take more than a second to think about. only things that i happen to encounter and barely remember..hmm

I had barely any recollection of my dream when I woke up. All i remember was I was on campus at my school, and a new kid in 10th grade, TJ was there and he had crutches. I stole the crutches and started to hobble away through campus with them. I saw my friend Paul and looked over to see my friends Knox and Jake laughing at my crutches and then I woke up.
