non-lucid

Please excuse the poor capitalization.

This is the second day trying the WBTB method, the first being the 19th. No lucid dream.

Unfortunately, most of the dreams I remember had to do with just staring at piano keys I believe. However, the reason i don't remember much is because I almost had an OBE/WILD!

Twice!

Maybe it had something to do with the wake back to bed method? Although I think I just got lucky and started to wake up at the right time.

the most i remember of my dreams is only a few leading up to the first time.

I remember watching TV with dad, but for some reason it was at our house. he was eating grapefruit, and i was on the floor. i forget what i was doing on the floor, but the show we were watching was like a collaboration between family guy and american dad. i was like "i don't remember them being the same show." then, i remember listening to Other Lives (good band, I recommend) in my room. I had headphones on, an i was trying to crawl under the rockband drumkit. my logic was that they wouldn't have made the songs in such a way so that you couldn't fit. then, i remember seeing a cartoon black girl, who was very short, wore a yellow dress, and had big eyes, and an afro. she said something. I don't remember what is was, but the point is that is was supposed to be evil or something. or maybe she screamed. i don't remember. but then, i told sean and dad about it, and dad said that i should show him the clip, so we can do something about it. i said ok, and i was up in my room looking for it. apparently, the ghost didn't want me to do this, and came after me. it was DE that it was holding me down on the bed, so the dream turned into a nightmare, with my sleep paralysis making it seem more real. i started to wake up, and i couldn't move, or yell for help. i was still half asleep so i still thought the ghost was after me. after i realised i was waking up, i felt them. the vibrations of anyone who has ever experienced an OBE/WILD.
i didn't understand it at first, but as soon as i was actually awake, i immediately understood, and was disappointed that i didn't try anything.

the vibrations felt like when your hand JUST falls asleep. its not the pins and needles kind, it the rumbly, tingly, vibration kind. or maybe it feels like when you hit your funny bone, but all over your body, and without the pain.

the second time this started to happen, i was like "cool at least i get a second chance." i tried to will myself out of my body (for an OBE), but nothing worked. maybe i need to actually try to physically move? ill try that next time (although I should be focusing on lucid dreaming lol), with my hand under my leg, so that if i can raise my hand, i know it went through my leg.

i had more dreams after i went back to sleep finally, but I don't remember them because i couldn't take my mind off the almost WILD/OBE.




I remembered later in the day that my final dream was about this weird hotel/learning camp? Cosmo Kramer was there, as were a bunch of other celebrities, but they could have just been DE celebrities. One part of the dream involved a flooded hallway i think, with a car pulling out of a driveway in the rain? I don't know, but i do remember that it was a pretty cool dream.

Excuse the poor capitalization.

The first thing I remember was that I was/ i was watching V. He was in this strange city setting, but there were only like four buildings, and it was dark and a little rainy. He was trying to get away from Some white guy, who I guess was the prime minister or something. Him and V had these umbrellas (V gave the minister an umbrella). V's was red striped, with a black main color, and the minister's was normal i think. It was like they had to open the umbrellas before they start chasing each other. V opened his first, then he waited a while for the minister to open his. by the time he opened it, V's umbrella was closing, and he had to open it again, giving him a disadvantage in the chase. in the end, V ran up a ramp onto one building, then hopped to another.

Next, It was Anthony's birthday, I was stuck at this strange party at my house (current house). It wasn't a birthday party, but there were some people I knew, and it was dark and there was a lot of music playing. There was also a bed in the living room. I remember Coldplay and Radiohead playing, and Tom Lam was sitting at table near the computer. For a while I was trying to leave so i could go to Anthony's. I was also doing something at the bed, like organising something, but I don't remember what. Eventually, when I left, i went to anthony's and he was like "what took you so long?". His house was set up differently, almost opposite what it is now, but there was only a small room when you walk in, no carpet, and it banked to the right. everything was wooden colored. His mom was coming down the stairs, and she asked the same question. I told them i got caught up in some stuff. I didn't explain the whole predicament because it would have taken too long. it was DE that i had done this too many times in the past, and they were mad at me. The present I got anthony was this trivia game for the ps3. He was really good at it or something. I'm pretty sure there were spliced "clips" of him playing it while i was at the party, but I don't remember.

next, me, mom, brian, andrea, and john were hanging out doing I don't remember. but next thing i remember, we were in this trailer, and there was a storm coming. the winds were very violent, and it shook the whole trailer, until it tipped over. apparently this was pretty normal because everyone in the trailer didn't think it was very dangerous. we just kind of walked along the trailer, walls as it flipped. it rolled over 3 times i think. the last time it rolled over, we all crawled out this too-tiny door way and into the street. it was a very comfortable temperature outside, and it wasn't that windy, but it was dark as if it was about to rain. we were a little down the street (irving), and when i looked down the street towards cove, all i could see was irving just continuing forever.

next, i was at my birthday. anthony wasn't there (this dream may have happened before anthony's birthday). i remember holding the trivia game in my hand. Anthony wasn't there. i think it was supposed to be john and andrea's house but it was SUD. there were a lot of people around the table, but the only people i recognised were me, mom, brian, john, and andrea. eventually, people started bringing my presents out. most were in these giant tin cans, and the wrapping was chef boyardee style, and everyone was carrying them in from the other room. i asked mom if i could open them up when people leave, because its weird opening them up in front of everyone because i don't seem enthusiastic. she said no.

i wrote down something about a crying baby, but i don't know i that was a dream, or seth.

the last thing that happened was something about The Mars Volta, but i think the alarm went off as the dream was developing.

WOKE UP 8 AM.

BACK TO SLEEP 8 30 AM?

sadly, no LD. This first thing that happened was that sean/patrick was this hit man and they were after some kid named greg. I don't remember much of what happened, but eventually the hit man shot greg and killed him. some black chick said something and i was like "no, they used to be best friends (could have been subconsciously the greg from down the street, but it may have been just a coincidence.) they lived down the street from each other, and went to school together. he would never shoot him." she believed me, and was shocked, but just then we heard gun shots. then she said she would shoot sean/patrick. i said she was bluffing. but then she aimed the gun down (he was downstairs) and pulled the trigger, looking at me the whole time. the bullet went straight through the top of this head. For some reason, this wasn't serious, as the whole thing seemed frivolous. the setting of this part of the dream was like this wooden, run down, building near a dock. but at the same time, it was on a bus or truck or something.

next, in the same part of the dream, sean and i were at the front of the bus/truck (it had no top or windshield) and we were telling the driver, who looked like an in real life version of the fat construction worker from futurama, where we lived so we could get home. I was giving bad directions but somehow he knew where i was talking about, and as we started to drive there, i was like "o hey i know where we are now." also sean was like 12-14 in this part of the dream. eventually, we got home (old house), and we started unpacking the truck (which was now a regular moving truck) as if we were back form a long vacation. and I don't remember where sean went, but i remember talking to him on our wifi network. anthony was helping me unpack, and so was the driver. i remember saying "just put it on the front porch, well take it from there." our cat (white one) ran inside the house, and anthony thought it was a stray cat but i had to explain to him that it was ours. everyone else was next door at john and andreas. when we were done moving things, the truck driver said "hey were having (some food I don't remember) want to come?" i said yes, and we headed towards john and andreas.

I don't remember if this part happened before or after the the previous part, but the next thing that happened was that me and patrick, and other fictional dream characters were fighting these aliens in a kind of virtual video game thing. they were purple bug things the created a wave up green smoke as they landed, and you had to jump over it. there was a lot to this part that I don't remember. except there was this alien, that may have been someone that turned into an alien...but he was turquoise, and scaly, and had many...finger-penises and they made kool-aide.

Then, there was an interview with radiohead about their newest album (doesn't exist in real life). in the interview thom yorke mentioned that they don't make their own music. but instead, there is this genie/apparition/spirit thing that comes to them and gives them the music. and that was why this record was so good. it was world renowned and no one hated it. the cover was black or something. anyway, i was in this hall made of gold(?) and the was a red carpet in the middle, and i was thom yorke. or rather, i took the place of thom yorke, because it wasn't DE that way. i was holding the album in one hand while making out with this black chick (might have been chick from truck). she looked like the ninja chick from no more heroes. anyway, everything turned into chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, and i ate it.

First thing I remember was running around the coffee table (old house) with some foot ball dude. He was practicing tackling and I was trying to prove him wrong. After a while, he was laying down on the floor and he was like "No, pass me. It's alright." I tried to pass him, but as soon as I passed over him, he kicked me up into the air and I landed on my face. It was hilarious for some reason. Then I went on i-am-bored.com and 4chan on Mom's laptop. Then I tried to convince her that anything besides the music board would give her viruses. It worked.

Next, I believe I was at high school, but it was the middle school set up differently. It was the middle of the year, and and I just started to do stuff. I remember Kevin Shaw and a backpack, and the gymnasium, but I can't remember what happened. I think he and others were bullying me? I don't know. I think I said something funny and got popular.

Then, I was walking around somewhere with Alec. I had this plastic bowl of unpopped popcorn, but the kernels were really small and tasty, and I think it was illegal to eat them where we were, which was a kind of mall, where we were looking for something. Since we couldn't find it, he had to eat some in the place and we both got arrested (me too because I was an accomplice). Frankie from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends led us outside. Next thing I know, we were wandering around this very modern/clean/philly-esque neighborhood, but it was DE that is was ours. I was like "That thing we were looking for? I have like two at my house. I could go grab em." Naturally, he was pretty pissed.

Then, I was at this strange Halloween world and I think there was this demon out to get me. I tried escaping in this...thing (it looked like a whale). Everytime we tried, we would reach the bottom of this acid lake and the back of the whale under the tail would split open, and this evil black gunk would ooze out. Then I would sew it up or something and try again and again until eventually, I was either an underling or a leader or a beggar (I don't remember if I was one of them or all three) at some weird palace place. There was a cup of gold that I don't remember where it came from, but it may have been related to the popcorn kernels. I (?) was giving out the gold, which did look like corn, to people who were in line. When I was down to the last of it, I was the beggar.

Then, someone in the palace mentioned a girlfriend being crazy. So then I was at Lindsay's friend's house (DE) and we went into the next room. It was established that we already broke up. She was just trying to get me back. In the next room, I was lying down with her and her friend talking. Then the door we were by swung open as some old lady kept letting her dogs in.

The last part had something to do with music and the piano. It was like some kid was embarrassed to play, and I said that I play, and I'm and old man (I'm 18 in real life), so there is nothing to be ashamed of. Somehow, this was more interesting in the dream. I also remember some sort of bars, and the top lit up, but I don't remember their purpose.
_____
/_____\ this one was bright red and it lit up.
/_____\ yellow
/_____\ bright green
/ \ bright blue. like flourescent colors.

DE= dream-established. A fact that is known without a dream character explaining it, or an event explaining, hence it is just established by the dream.

Despite being sick, it was a good dream. First, I'm trying to convince Brian he is having a LD but he wont believe me.

Then I was a girl doing something (I don't remember) and I was in a bunch of magazines (lol nothing like that) and I was looking through them, but it was me. Next I was in a blimp going through the city in M.U.G.E.N. We kept coming close to crashing, but we would hit a building in a way as to bounce us into another blimp and then we would bounce back and be fine. Two blue tooth brushes high-fived every time we did this.

Then, I had a dream that I think I had before. Not sure. I was Aang in the beginning and I lost my powers. So did every other bender. Then, I was me and I beat a giant monster, but then I lost my powers. It supposed to be destiny that monster kills me. I ran home (old house) and got these essences. Magma and fire was at our house along with some items. Water was at an ice place like in Ocarina of Time, but it was in first person view and I was with Anthony and the place was set up differently. Grass was at some other place. I only had time to grab one. I grabbed magma. It's the strongest. Mom and Andrea were looking for me to take me to the fight with the monster. It was very sunny out. I managed to go out the side door and run away. Eventually, I got captured and was about to fight someone in all black in front of a castle. His aura was purple. I started to leave and a little girl said: I don't think you're quitting already." Battle music came on. The evil dude took out swords made by his energy, and the background changed like in Earthbound. It was very dramatic.

After that, and I don't know if this is related to the previous dream, but I was in some room with a bunch of swords that dropped down where you were and left proximity.

OXO
XOX
OXO O=sword. X= proximity blast

It was an above view. This was supposed to be how I died. Nicole was there. I kept dodging and waking up, then going back to sleep. It went on like that for the rest of the time. (When I'm sick, and I think other people are like this too, one part of my dream will be stuck on loop.)

I just remembered that at one point I was an anime character walking to Anthony's. We went to the ice place. I returned there later to see water essence. I don't remember much more.

Don't remember much. In Anthony's room, his internet was on the TV. When he was done, he tried to show Ashley's grandmother how he usually deletes the history, but I kept stopping him because then she would "know about the porn, man."

Alaric called and wanted to know something, but I couldn't hear him because in real life, my nose was stuffy and was making too much noise. I held my nose shut so I could hear, and I'm pissed off at this, but I realised that I was still breathing and making noise. I thought it was weird, but I DIDN'T HAVE A LUCID DREAM. BUT, later on in the dream, something happened. It was a lucid dream, but at the same time, a regular dream. It felt real, had great quality, and I had partial control I think. But, I don't remember it all, I had little control, and it was completely random. No RC took place. At any rate, the dream was that I was in some sort of weird school with bright red walls. Suddenly, I was "aware". I ran out into the hall, passing Madame Arcusi on the way, and "grabbed" some chick in the hallway. I remembered (although it may have just been dream-established) I wanted to fly, and suddenly I was outside. I took off like Neo. It felt real. I flew around for about ten seconds and woke up. Now that i think about it, I have wanted to take off like Neo in my next LD. This leads me to believe it wasnt a LD, but rather a dream of desire?

DE=dream-established

I remember I was outside at this dimly-lit street near a building (DE Maria's house) with a mattress outside of it. Maria saying that it's hot and she took her clothes off and her parents saw and Maria thought that they thought something was "going on".

Next, Sean and I were at some old lady's house, which was actually our old house. I tore up a 100 dollar bill (it was for a good cause, but I don't remember what). But the old lady changed her mind, and I went to put it back. I left, almost panicking because I ripped the bill. I left saying "Sean, we gotta go NOW." I ran out and I thought she was coming after us. I ran 3 blocks down to the right, Mirror's Edge style, and took another right. The street was supposed to be Rogers Avenue, but it was dark like night, trees were hanging over the street and dead animals were hanging from ropes off the branches (chickens, pigs, squirrels, etc.) I walked down the street, and at the end, there were chicken houses, pig pens, and hay scattered everywhere. But there weren't any animals except one chicken. The dead animals were supposed to be a warning of some sort. Running past the farm stuff, I took a left. I was in what looked like a junk yard for giant colored blocks. On top of each block was a TV show embedded into the block (specifically the top ten anime of all time, but non were anime). The only show I remember was Mighty Max, but he had sword.

I just remembered that everyone at school thought I boinked Maria, which was weird since I didn't, although this was a dream. Our school was the middle school (set up differently) in the lunch room. Me and Stuger were in the lunch line. Maria was in front of us. Maria was pissed off because everyone though we boinked. Me and Stuger were talking.

Me: it was awesome

Stuger: haha I bet it was

I noticed Maria in front of us. Stuger did too.

Me: And that's why Maria is a such a sweet, beautiful girl.

Stuger: Awww

A pause

Me: I-wonder-what-is-for-lunch-today...

We start cracking up.

I'm working at this chop shop for BJ Novak (from the office) and some other guys. Normally we never see the guys who ship our parts out, but they come through for the day. These guys are freaking pirates. Spanish accents, goofy clothes...the works. BJ says the pirates are going to take a few of us on this spa getaway crap, and he picks this couple and me.

Something happens before we leave. This person give a message to me, to give to BJ, and he kinda ignored it when I told him. We get on this big old school pirate ship, and their Captain shows us around. Apparently these guys are very merry, because there are tons of instruments lying around. Multiple guitars, drum sets etc. I guess they had some open rule where if you wanted to play something, no one would be able to hog one instrument.

All of a sudden BJ tells us the shop was broken into....then he tells us that things were stolen. I'm upset and I wish I was one of the people who would have stayed back. I'm trying to narrow it down who I think it is, and I almost want to say that BJ and the Captain are in on it so they can just cut us out of this deal for minute.

Anyways, we get to the "spa", and there are these concrete holes that go up about chest high what you stand in. They're filled with water, and at the bottom of them they have smooth stones from streams. You're supposed to rub your feet all across them, and head to the next hole. Each hole has some special properties to the water. BJ starts handing out pictures from the trip that are on rolls like the ones that come out of picture booths. There are various ones, and I took two that had me on it, and a group of us (pirates included).

Terminology: DE=dream-established. Like when you just know something in the dream, because it's part of the dream.

First, for some reason I had diabetes and Mark told me how to get rid of it.

WOKE UP (alarm) 6 AM

Next, some chick knew everything i was going to do or say because she said she was an angel. then, she showed me what everyone was doing. Angelica was about to kiss Sean when a zit on his lip popped. Everyone threw up.

WOKE UP (literally spitting on my pillow because it was disgusting) 9 AM

Misty from Pokemon was in a hot spring with me and it was on top of a waterfall. the whole setting was very rocky and orange. some other dude tried to use a weird slide (it was split into sections. pictured below). You could move the slide's sections because they were hinged. (pictured below). He tried to slide into the hot spring from a cliff. the slide fell at the bottom, and he hit his head. he got up and got in.
_ _ _ _ _
|_||_||_||_| slide top view. slide side view (hinges) \ slide is better described as a wooden plank bridge, but plastic...and a slide.

Later, there was some sort of attack on a place that looked like metal harbor from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. The attacker was a jet like the ship from Descent. I shot a rocket far in front of it because it was going so fast. I almost hit it. Someone said "WOW! that was close!" I ran around the side of a building. The ship came by, I jumped our in front, and shot the front window with a magnum in slow motion with one bullet saying "NOT CLOSE ENOUGH!". I guess I shot the driver in the head through the window because it was a one hit kill (DE). When I killed him, everything went to negative colors (reminds me of a Duke Nukem dream I had before with the boss).

After that, I was still in metal harbor, but there was no trouble or attacks, and I was at the far back dock (where the attack started) and I was throwing and kicking metal, red pillars into the water to the right. The pillar was also set up into sections like the slide, but each section was more cubed, and rounded at the edges.

The final dream I can remember is that there was some sort of voice tester at school in the nurse's office (set up differently). It was a routine checkup. It tested how old your voice sounded. It started at 5 years old (it was DE that it had something to do with puberty). Ashley went first. the device was white, and looked like one of those toddler's toys where you push the button in the middle, which is an arrow, and when you let go, it spins until it points at an animal. Except this one was all white, at two handles at the side, and instead of animals, there were numbers going all around it. The arrow would point to which age your voice sounded. you just pick it up and go "UHHHH" into it. Ashley got 18, but she cheated and got 20. Everyone hoped for to get higher numbers so they could be more "manly." I had a cold and had to keep clearing my throat to sound normal. since I was sick, I got a 9. I swallowed spit cause I was really nervous. The dial went up the 11. I kept swallowing until it went up to 20. I told Ashley how to cheat she said that's what she did

WOKE UP 1:10 PM

First, something happened and I had to bring mom back to life by using some sort of liquid. Then, there was a battle between yellow and blue robots. One part of the battle, the yellow robots gathered the blue robots together to shoot a giant rocket at them.

Then, with the M.U.G.E.N characters, there as a fight in the some stages. EX: there was Sonic vs a better Sonic on a Sonic stage (the first level) but the stage was just ongoing and moving. There were lots of hills.

Another part of the dream, a green bean thing from Mario and Luigi superstar saga was continuously falling, and Fox was shooting at him with Arwing lasers (pictured below). The lasers would hit the bean at the top of its head, and they would slide off. Then, fox shot a bomb at him from the ground.

Only thing I can remember is that people were asking me how to drive in Grand Theft Auto as if it was driving in real life. Main character was Spider-Man though, not Niko.

Remembered this later today: at one part, I was in school and my schedule had math but no room number or something. Mr. Collins kept following me around telling me to "get to class."

Not many today. One part, our apartment was haunted. For example, the TV was in front of you, you turn around, you turn back, it's on the other side of the room. There was some sort of play. Jenn was in it. I think she was possessed. Also, I don't remember the whole thing but the trophies in Super Smash Bros Brawl were battling (duh) but not like usual.

I was in a band playing a Foo Fighters song (might have been Learn to Fly.) Next, some fat kid tried to steal a tent and I chased him with mom's car, but it was a convertible version. Next, I was in some sort of library for video games, but there wasn't a lot of good stuff. I cant remember the details, but one point, I was some sort of superhero.

July 4, 2008

I was on Attack of the Show talking with Munn about a new Wii coming out in November. next, about a car that was a lot like the freestyle. Then, I cut my finger, i went to the store for a bandaid and went to a party. RJ and Bianca were there. I also was in some sort of war and I was a vampire or something fighting a giant monster later on. It was some sort of school I was in or something.

It began in my Aunt's house. There were 2 babies running around, one from her family and one from somebody else's. One of the babies peed on a carpet and the other baby walked over and pointed it out to us.
I then remember a country singer came over and was talking to us about something, he had come over to our house to visit us for some reason. I know there was more to this dream, I remember and earlier part with my Dad there as well.
I also remember explaining to my Aunt about how margarine was less healthy than butter, I explained the process of how they make margarine(hydrogenation) and how this creates unnatural trans fats which are worse for you than butter.

The next dream took place immediately after(warning its gruesome and dark). A bit nightmarish, and I'll tag it as such for fair warning.


A man has a dog and is castrating it (neutering). We are on a dock, looking out over a body of water, I think there was 1 kid with us, probably the man's son. The dog is under no anesthesia and I am sickened by the procedure.

He cuts off the dog's testicles, whole from the scrotum, with a sharp pocket knife. The dog lays down and appears injured.
He then takes the scrotum and opens it up and says something like "now you'll find the kittens inside."

I'm warning you this is really gruesome.

He then takes the 2 pink testes out of the scrotum and says look "the two kittens are talking to each other," and makes mewing sounds while holding the 2 testicles. I say something like "stop."

The dog then starts barking and jumping up, I am a bit scared.

The man says to the dog "hey calm down, stop," or something like that. The dog then manages to bite his arm, the man gets mad and opens the dog's mouth and cuts it from inside its mouth, one end to the other.
The dream ends, my last image is the dogs mouth and teeth, and the knife cutting his mouth. I wake up considerably frightened.

That's all I can remember from this morning.

I'm venturing through the dark of night, with my father at my side, we're scanning the streets for specimens, evil creatures that are trying to kill the human race. I'm carrying a 9mil boretta and my dad is carrying an AK-47. We run into a few and shoot them all, me and my father both run out of ammo and there are still more coming at us, we reach an area where the road goes up slightly revealing a small pocket, and a bunch of swords and weapons were stashed in the pocket. I grabbed a katana and began slicing them into pieces, all of the sudden we reach a hedge area where it is partially day and night, we see specimens slowly creeping up towards us, we take them out one at a time, then one comes up that I try to strike and nothing happens. I strike again but the blade does nothing, all of the sudden the specimen turns into a more human creature and begins to run from me, I start to chase it and become a specimen.
