non-lucid

---

I find myself outside a tall building, at its highest point obscured by the clouds above. My several companions and I walk towards the entrance confidently, but cautiously. As we get right outside the door, a piece of the building itself speaks to us in the voice of an old bitter woman and cackles.

"You'd better hurry, I'm coming for you!" She is the voice of the lava the building is sitting on! We rush in and realize the floor is bubbling and the room is filled with several tiers of yellow blocks. Immediately, my team and I start jumping around the room to search for the item we were sent there to retrieve. Somebody shouts they've found it, but lets it slip from her hands and fall to the bottom of the room. I instinctively dive for it, snag it, and continue my way up to the top of the building. It is a small, 8-bit Mario shaped eraser.

The room is now erupting from all corners with pillars of fires and I'm struggling more and more the climb the now "artificial rock-climbing" face of the walls. I finally get the level I need to be, where I meet eyes with another member of my team blocking my path to the right. Time freezes for a minute or so, though we're both still thinking clearly. Once things start moving again, I use all the strength I have left to climb over to the goal. I pull the eraser out of my pocket and place it in a small indent. It transforms into a a Princess Peach eraser.

All the danger subsides and glide to the bottom of the tower. My team is there to greet me, I we walk out together feeling like winners.

[To start out, I live in pittsburgh PA. most of my dreams take place in some variation of pittsburgh and its surrounding areas. also, most of my dreams are continious and based off of other dreams. a lot of what i say here is based off of other dreams in the same area. bear with me]

I had just left my friends house and was driving down a red brick road in between tightly packed houses. there where tracks inbedded into the road, presumably for the trolley, that where making my motorcycle hard to control. I stopped at a red light at a 4 way intersection, looking down the road into the line of factories and defunct manufacturing plants being converted into one thing or another lining the river (the allegheny in real life). I observed a black guy, driving a black car yelling about something next to me. the light turned green and I sped off to the next block where I made a left turn onto the highway overlooking the industrial shores of the river. most of these buildings looked as if they had been abandoned for years. I merged onto the highway and was immediatly cut off by an asian driver and forced into on-comming. I went across al of the lanes and parked in a lot on the other side of the highway. I figured id go walk around for a bit, knowing there was a staircase that led to under the highway and too the abandonded industrial complexes. I walked down and across an opening into one of the warehouses I hadent explored yet. I walked in, finidng reltivley nothing interesting. I cam out the other side to the train tracks that ran between this building and another, and began walking.

After a hundred feet or so, i saw a small patch of plants. These plants where about 3 or 4 feet tall, with the upper half of the flexible stem loosley covered in deep green leaves that looked like holly, but instead of thorns the; red short hairs grew out of the edges. the leaves where hard and waxy and deep green like the rest of the plant.

They where growing all the way next to the building as far as i could see, I knew them as "high plants" based on a previous dream. I walked through the patch of plants, and immedialty began to feel the plants effects. i though tro myself, "they inject the drugs into you through the red spines on the leaves, and to get high on them, you have to let the leaves brush against your bare skin." I walked through for a while, and continued to feel intense euphoria, warmth, calmness, and cloudy judgement. I felt like I needed more, feeling an addictive effect. I walked for maybe a mile through them, getting higher and higher.
after a while, the feeling of nausea and headache and dizziness was unbearable; I started to get scared from hallucinating and woke up feeling sick-ish.

I was on a travel. I remember SM and an airport. I was in a computer game. We were heroes with powers. We rode on a train in the mountains. Then we found that in the middle of a... sea, or swamp, the tracks were broken. The two of us fell into the water.

I was able to land on a some broken wooden parts of the train. The water is... dirty greenish yellow. There was something in the water, so I hurried to the shore. I arrived on a yellow-sanded beach. My companion is still on the sea. I stayed away from the shore, but I saw that my companion set up a trap as soon as he reached land. I asked what he was doing, and then I saw a sea goblin (or whatever) rise out of the water after him. He caught it, and the trap prevented the creature from going back to the water, therefore weakening it. We captured it, and we got... fruits.

After that, we ran and entered a secret base in that mountain. We played what seemed like a computer game. We play as a pair, facing monsters in 2D and defeating them. There was one character that uses a dragon-like laser to attack the enemies.

Then it turned very real. We were fighting. We won at first, and then we lost. Everybody died, but one or two of us. One was a girl who was one of the main characters in the previous "game," and the other is a boy that wasn't the main character. The boy main character died. Now we're planning to resurrect the rest to help oppose the evil that is rising.

I was in a building, with people who a group of people wearing business attire. They were planning the next move. They're sending us out.

Rob was there. He gave me instructions about where to drive and find the hideout without being followed. He also suggested I don't leave the car in the target area to avoid detection. But the instructions were so complicated, I didn't want to follow them. When I went out with my accomplice, I asked him if he's going to leave his car in the area, or if he's going to go back and park the car. We both agreed it's troublesome to do that, so we parked it near the target area/hotel.

Inside, there were a lot of people in formal attire. Then I noticed another guy. An enemy agent. I thought he was an ally at first. I walked outside, and tried to hide in the green bushes (it's veeeery green), but it wasn't very effective. I realized he might shoot me, so I ran deeper into the bushes instead of just staying near the edge to spy on him.

After some short running, he released his powers. We were near a plaza or something. There were five floating balls (like the dragon balls). Each has different powers. I was able to fight back, and defeated him. I was stronger magically than physically. He dropped to the ground, body facing down. He said something, before he disintegrated into the ground, and his head disintegrated into the skull of a cat.

I saw a primitive torture machine made by a primitive kid.

Visiting my brothers chaos:
I was driving somewhere together with my mother in her car, and somehow I got the idea of going to my brother to help him with something, she told me to call him and so I did, he was fine with it and I got out at the next bus stop. I walked to his old home (a place thought up by the dream) which I as it seems had the keys for. As I came into the house I found a vivid chaos with stuff of every kind lying, staying and hanging everywhere. On different types of cd/mp3-players (etc.) I found different tracks from Alabaster being played (however with Ariaster being displayed as name).
In some other part of this dream (don't know when) I remember I saw his (again faked) real home in the dream.

Unreal Unreal Tournament:
I was playing a game with some unknown people and I had a shock rifle with 2 buttons on top of it, which I also could equip with powerups. Whatever game we were playing, I tried to avoid all enemy contact and we were losing. Somewhere later I simply turned into a cat to avoid my enemies.

Nightly sushi trip:
I was going together with my girlfriend and Vincent (FF7) to a sushi restaurant, somewhere in some unknown hills. It was already closed for orders but we could still go inside. The construction was pretty realistic. As the owner came over to us I went outside and wait for her to finish her business. Surprisingly my girlfriend came out with a bunch of sushi, telling me the reason given by the owner was that she couldn't trust my girlfriend otherwise.

I was in a ridiculously huge sized complex (easily city-size) on some railroads together with my girlfriend. We jumped onto one of the slow going trains and I even had some sort of seat with me, and we stayed a while driving around the complex. The biggest part we got to see was looking like some concrete desert, with nothing interesting around. After some while we came across the more complex parts and I saw crossing railroads, people and strange rooms. At some point we got down because we didn’t wanted to be seen, but somehow my girlfriend was gone for the moment. I went to one of the rooms, which was sort of like a big open bathroom, with a glass door and walls and individually closed cabins. For any very odd reasons I had the keys for the doors and was doing some senseless stuff around there, locking and unlocking the door a few times in the process. Some of the dudes (a lot bigger than me) seemed to be pissed about the possibility of being locked in there. After some short but actually harmless fight I decided to cancel this shit and killed him with fire, he was pretty much exploding. There was some woman behind me, saying something and the scene was changing a lot, looking back the complex was gone and instead I locked straight into a city in bright daylight. I think some water came rushing in from the left, were the street was going down into the main city I think. The dream didn’t stop there but my recall became pretty hazy.

Judging by the city my recall resumed later:
I was in a bus or tram sitting on a seat besides the window on the left of the vehicle. There was a girl sitting on the handrail in front of me and my girlfriend right of her. She told me to switch to the free seat on my right, so I did and she leaned back onto me. We both chilled there for a while till the dream faded.

I was on the street of a completely unknown city, it was a pretty rural place and nature didn’t seem to be impaled much to build that city. It was night and the sky was clear, as I looked up I saw several flying objects, up closer than normal planes. I saw a few space shuttles, and talked to some of the DC’s around about that. Then I saw something completely strange and began to follow it as good as I could. Apparently one of the houses there seemed familiar to me after the trees on the right side of the street cleared up, it was standing on a small hill. I went inside searching for some binoculars. The house was constructed in a strange way but it was pretty cool. I talked with some voice inside of the house, it probably told me something about that I should continue my WILD attempts or something like that. But I opened one of the doors and looked outside (it was early dawn, it looked very beautiful and realistic), and I said something like “Instead I should make use of this dream first”, and I immediately remembered what I wanted to do upon becoming lucid, I tried to apply the lucidity visor but my vision turned black. I had barely enough time to be annoyed that my lucid faded right the moment I was going to make use of it but I didn’t have any time for stabilizing.

It was pretty odd but interesting to become lucid through saying it like that myself even though I had no prior knowledge of dreaming.

While I still may not have had any lucids from MILD yet, my brain is definitely starting to incorporate the visualization part directly into my dreams. The other night I visualized beginning the dream on an airplane because I could either skydive and land wherever I wanted to, or just make the plane land wherever I wanted it to. Easy transition either way. I didn't go lucid, but the dream did begin on an airplane. Last night, I visualized being back in Israel because that's where my previous dream was. And again, while I didn't go lucid, the dream did begin there. I think I'm getting on to something here...

1) As I just said, the dream began in Israel, although it quickly left that behind and turned into something big. Huge. So much detail I can't even begin to recall it all; there was an entirely unique world all around me with a deep story of its own to tell. Keeping things simple, there was a giant corporation that was getting too much power; it acted as the government, but due to its business nature, it was more corrupt than even the average government. I, along with a small team of others, sat down and planned how we could get inside and blow up the entire facility that was at the heart of the whole problem...realizing we would likely die in the process. (Yes I know, IRL that would be an act of terrorism, but this was a dream, ok? ) Our plan was highly detailed, but proved effective. We had unexpected complications along the way of course, but we improvised and still barely made it to our objective after hours of constant work. We had silently (for the most part) taken out all the guards going about the place, and all that was left was the CEO himself. We set up the bombs and then dove out the windows as our only shot at survival. Surprisingly the fall didn't hurt at all. However, once outside, a giant tree burst up out of the ground and revealed itself to be a tree-machine AI who was very angry at our work. We started to fight, but soon the machine recognized us as friends and stopped before he did any real damage.

Dream Signs: being somewhere without remembering getting there, highly unusual events,

Good morning, everybody.

Dream #1

I was in a room like a preschool classroom, although the room was supposed to be an office. The room was dark, except for the glow of a TV, which I was sitting on the floor and watching, (though my view seems to have been from slightly outside my body). The room seemed pretty empty -- no desks or tables; just chairs and short bookcases lining the walls.

Someone came into the room and pulled one of the chairs out of the room. The person was all in shadow, but he seemed to me to have been a young, male office worker. The chair he pulled out was an office- style swivel-chair. All the chairs in the room may have been like that.

I knew the guy wasn't supposed to take the chairs. And I knew he knew it. He basically just wanted to steal. But I was too afraid to stand up to him and stop him.

Now I was in the room with "my co-workers." The lights were on in the room, and there were desks in the room. But there weren't enough chairs for all the desks. In fact, there were hardly any chairs at all.

The boss (I think) said, "Someone from another office has been stealing our chairs! How the hell are we all gonna sit down?"

I knew who stole at least one of our chairs. But I didn't want to say anything. I didn't want to betray that I'd been too afraid to stand up to the guy.

So now I and another guy were going out looking for chairs. The boss had told us, I "knew," that we should go to all the rooms in this building. And room that looked like it had way more chairs than it needed had obviously been stealing chairs from us. So we were to "take the chairs back" out of that room and to our room.

The man and I wandered through the hallways, which were kind of narrow, short, and grey. We went into some smaller rooms, which were apparently multi-office rooms or single offices. Some of them looked like classrooms.

Then we ended up in a pretty big conference room. The room was dark, with our only light coming in through the hallway. The room was empty, with just a few school desks and chairs here and there, overturned, not in any real order. But it looked like there weren't more chairs than desks, so we couldn't take chairs from this room.

But being in the conference room made me think. If the man searching with me thought we should be looking in conference rooms for chairs, then we should probably be looking in the conference room closest to our office. Something about the way the guy had stolen the chair had made me think he wouldn't go far with it.

In my excitement at thinking I knew where we should go, I gasped a bit and lifted my left arm up, almost like I was raising my hand to ask a question in class. I then put my hand to my lips. I said, "We should go to the..."

But I had to strain to remember the name of the conference room. Finally I got it. I said, "We should go to the Goshen Room!"

The man said, "That's right! I was just about to say the same thing!"

We were now in the Goshen Room. There were chairs all over the place, as well as school desks. Everything was overturned and disordered. But it seemed pretty obvious that there were too many chairs in here.

The man spoke to me (although I seemed to be seeing from his viewpoint) as if we were looking at a grisly murder scene. He said, "Go. Get the others from the office. We need to gather the chairs quick. These people will be back soon."

The man himself now seemed to have been heading for the door, to get the other people from the office. I was deeper in the room, looking at the chairs. The swivel-chairs' seats had been completely unscrewed from their bases, kind of like a bolt screwing into a hole, or a bottle cap screwing onto a plastic bottle top.

I stood staring at a few swivel chair bases. I figured we'd all have to carry this stuff back to our office in awkward armfuls, then screw everything back together there. I wondered if we'd be able to get everything of ours back to the office, and if we'd be able to put it all back together.

First of all, I should tell you that on the 24th, I had a dream about transformers, at a supermarket which doesent exist, but has great significance on the days on which I don't post.

And I'm seeing a pattern emerge, in most of my dreams there is a form of transport, and I usually walk to places. This might help me to become lucid!!!!

So, yeah, the dream. I have no idea why I was on top of a bus, but that's where the dream started. I was with my brother and my best friend. We were having lots of fun trying to stay on top of the bus! We jumped later on onto a lorry, which had lots of bedding on top. Most of the colours in the dream were really bright. I almost fell off of this truck several times.

There was later a truck, which had no freight but it did have a platform on the bottom. My brother went down first, then asked me to throw down the matress that we were on. It was scary because the truck was moving, but as we picked up the matress, there was no air resistance pushing against it, even though we were holding it against the wind. My brother moved up to the front of the platform, and my friend threw down the matress. It landed nicely. I jumped down on top of the matress, and then my friend wrapped herself in a duvet and jumped down too. After a while, we were on a circuit, and the circuit was a road. There was an island of grass in the middle, where some of my other friends were sat. There were no weeds on the grass, it was perfect grass. But there was also a pikachu. It's quite pathetic that I didn't become lucid.

At one point, I was over the edge of the platform holding onto the matress, which would have fallen off with me if I wasn't dreaming. I had to keep jumping off of the floor in order to keep myself up, and eventually I managed to do a somersault and get back onto the platform.

At some point, the dream must have changed because I can also remember the road being a river, a clean water river (Another thing about my dreams, everything is always perfect). I wasn't on the platform anymore, and neither was anybody else. We were all on sunbeds, and talking about who should drive the platform. We weren't on the island in the middle, we were under a shade at the edge, which could only be described as a petrol station, without the pumps and instead of a concrete floor, it was made from grass. There was no petrol smell. The circuit wasn't very big, it must have had a diameter of about eight meters. Also, there was now a small waterfall which although coming down quite heavily, didn't make a sound or a splash. When I decided to drive the platform, it drove as it would if it were on a road. There was only ripples in the water infront of us, we weren't making a giant splash. The platform was very fun to drive, and very hard. I then got a shot at driving the matress truck, it was much harder. I can't remember anything after driving it for a couple of circuits.

Fragments

There was a boxing match and when it was finished the winner was being unsportsmanlike until WWE Diva Beth Phoenix got in his face and made him step off. Natalya was there too.

I was watchign TV in a flat with my family and some band was on, Greg Eagles (the guy who played Grim from Billy and Mandy) was on drums.

Dream

I was in a small room with some guys having a party the room had a green tint and I looked like that idiot Micah Richards. I had a bowl of food in it and I took some roti out with my hand and placed it on the table.

We were sharing stories and one guy who Clark Duke from Hot Tube Time Machine asked me about a previous party and I said "You know when everyon'es shankin' (stabbing) and you pull out a bass guitar and kill everyone."

Then the dream went into 3rd person perspective and zoomed out to virtually everyone but the two guys I was sitting with ran out.

Ate a couple of slices of cheese and took a vitamin B-6 supplement(100mg) yesterday evening before bed, so I was diappointed that I only remember a fragment of one dream from last night:

I'm in my truck in what looks like a suburban setting. A friend of mine is in another truck close by. We're on our way to the same destination. As I'm getting ready to turn right and drive down this one street, I see my friend take another route. I look toward where he is going, see that it's a shorter route and cut through a gas station parking lot in an effort to get ahead of him. I pull out to the right and get in the left turn lane at a traffic light. I look in my rearview mirror for my friend, don't see him and realize he has taken a different route.
The light changes and I make the left turn, driving across a bridge that spans a small river or canal. Once on the other side, I make a left turn and follow the road, looking to see which way my friend went. It's slow going because there are cars in front of me and one of them is driving really slow. Eventually, though, I see the road my friend had taken (a straight shot with no traffic lights) and realize he is now way ahead of me.

Warning... There is a drug reference here...

This is the second dream I remember of this night. It was quite nightmare-ish, actually. I'm terrified of needles. That might be a nice aid to your reading 'experience'... Hehehe

Well, I was walking to my maths classroom, which also happened to be an IT (computer) classroom. The blue line in the top left is the door. The brown block iis the teacher's podium. The green is the chairs, the white is the tables, and the grey is the floor. The pink cirle is where I sit. Other markings will be explained later. I hope the diagram helps!!

I walked into my classroom. Like most students, they like to mess around a lot. As I walked in, the person sitting where the yellow circle is asked me if I wanted to have some water. I told him that I didn't really, but he said that I looked thirsty, so I took a tiny sip, and walked to the pink circle, my seat. What seemed like only two minutes later, and everybody in the room was talking about drugs and injecting themselves! I wanted to get as far away as possible, so I put up my had to tell the teacher that I wanted to leave the room. She ignored me, so I went round to where the purple hexagon is and curled up in a ball, trying to stay as far away from the table as I could without sitting on the teacher's stuff. I then realised that the drug must have also been in my drink. I wondered if it was addictive, and what the side effects are. Most of my class were acting loopy, but then again they do that a lot.

Not too long later, the teacher asked what was wrong. I asked if I could talk to her outside for a moment, and she went outside. Everybody was talking about somebody who had died because of the drugs he had taken, and how it was quite common for people to die if they took this drug. Outside of the classroom, the teacher also injected herself. I decided to just get my bag on the way out and run home. I tried to keep my arms as close to my body as I could on the way through the classroom, because I wasn't wearing anything over my arms, and I tried to walk straight down the middle of the classroom, but on the way out, the person at the red star grabbed my arm, looked up at me, smiled in a scary way and then I felt a prick. I couldn't see a needle anywhere but I knew I was being injected. I pulled my arm away and hit the person in the face (hehehe) and then I woke up.

No nap, some red vine, bed at 22.30, didn't fall asleep untill much later.

first fragment at 2.20am - I was "on the other side of the river" - I feel like it was not ment literaly

second fragment at 4.05 am - I was in a summer camp for LD-ing
at 6am - also something about camp for lucid dreaming

third fragment at 7.50am - I was in Liguria, Italy

Oct.22, Sunday, no nap, some beer, bed at 11pm, woke up from a dream at 5.30am.

I was with some friends looking for a new place with help of a realtor;

Then I'm giving a ride to some girls, but one of them is driving, because we were going down some steep hill and I didn't want to drive that way. We arrive to town and I drop them of in front of store called Target. But they forget to give me my keys, so I follow them through some security checkpoint, which is no longer to the store, but to the cruise ship. To my surprise, I get through without any problem.

Another dream at 7.48am - again with some unpleasant people from my past.

I had two dreams on this day. The first was about a holiday. My brother, dad and I all got out of our car, and it was significantly cooler outside. The breeze was quite refreshing. We were parked next to a long field. It looked quite healthy, and the sun was up and everything was sweet! We had to walk across the field, where there was a gap in the trees. Through the gap, there was a courtyard type street, with a small swimming pool and small wooden shed, which happened to be a shop. We didn't go in, but the door was open and we could see that the man was old, and selling inflatables, which were dusty and bleached by the light coming through the window. There was also a hotel, which dad said was ours.

On the inside, it was more like an apartment, with a reception and everything was square, and business like. We went up two flights of stairs, each with a painting on the wall on the way up. Both the paintings were the same, and the first floor was exactly the same as the ground floor. On the second floor, though, there was three doors leading to bedrooms. Two on the left corridoor, and one at the end. The corridoor was really short, though. Probably only about three or four meters long.

We went into our room, and dad started unpacking. My brother and I were looking around our room, which had one bed, and a desk. Two women came in, wearing suits. They must have been between twenty and twenty five, and one of them was black. They asked if my brother and I would like to come and hang out with them whilst dad unpacked. Ross decided to stay, but I went. They had the room that was at a right angle to ours. They had a double bed at the far side of the room, and on the left they had a desk with a laptop on it. There was a table to the right, which one of the women sat on. There was a window behind the table, and next to the bed was a fold up mini trampoline.

We talked about the trampoline, and then I went on the trampoline, and that's as far as I can remember.
