non-lucid

I was in an unfamiliar place at first. I then heard people talk about the nuke "practice" nearby.

I was in our hometown's plaza. We can see the explosion from there. Some things fell. Dust? Debris? Ice?

Football Rocks
I am in my own house, sitting on the couch watching a football game. It is the Dallas Cowboys vs. some team I can't remember, but I remember thinking the other team must not be very good. The Cowboys are kicking the other team's ass, and the Cowboys aren’t even doing very well. My mom actually seems disappointed that the Cowboys are winning when they haven't earned it. I am annoyed at her being hypocritical so I get up and leave the room. I go outside into the desert around our house and start looking around. Something seems off, but I can't place what. I pick up a couple of rocks and see that they are uncommonly shiny. I decide to keep them. I find a larger rock that is really pretty. It is a bit too large to take back. I pick it up and see it breaks easily, so I take a small piece of it. Someone else is in the yard with me and he says if everyone takes a small piece there will soon be nothing left. I tell him it's on our property, no one else will be taking any, and I won't take any more. He doesn't seem to believe me. I put the small piece of rock in my pocket and continue looking around the yard.

Secret Gifts
I am in Bookman's with Alicia, and we are browsing for stuff to buy. She is looking around in the books and I am checking out the video games. I find a game for the PSP that is a sequel to the game Prototype I have played on my XBox. I pick it up and look at it to see what it is about. I am thinking I have read that in the new game, the main character from the first game is the bad guy… and I don't like that idea… But this game says the player is still playing as Alex Mercer. The only thing that stops me from buying the game is that it's a side scroller, and that doesn't appeal to me. I put the game back and look some more. I find yet another installment of Assassin's Creed. It doesn't say what system it's for… so I look for someone to ask. Weirdly enough I find an employee dressed as an assassin from Assassin's creed. I try to get his attention, but he is set on ignoring me. I have the crazy idea I am not really there. I try to get Alicia's attention and she responds right away. So the guy is just being a jerk. I try to get his attention again and he finally responds. He says the game is not for me and ignores me again. What an ass…

Assimilated Virus
I am in a video game, and I am fully aware it is a video game… beyond a shadow of a doubt. It is an awesome virtual reality game and I want to explore it fully. I am walking down a busy street with lots of people. I also notice there is a heavy military presence there, many soldiers are walking the streets. The civilians don't seem to notice this as strange, though some of them do seem a bit nervous. I wonder why. I head down a side street to try to clear my mind away from the crowd. There is a suspicious man there, he is watching me. I am not worried about it. This is just a game. Instead I investigate him, which seems to take him a bit by surprise. It doesn't seem to bother him much. He grabs my arm and stands there with a puzzled look on his face. I get a report from the nanites in my system that he tried to infect me with a strange virus. Epic fail, the virus has already been neutralized. I tell him his plan was an epic fail… have some of my infection… and he is infected with nanites… too bad I wake up before I find anything else out.

Alicia was having a girls night out for her birthday. All the girls from her actual bday party and some from high school were all there. Everyone was dressed up in sexy cocktail dresses and high heels. For some reason we were all supposed to meet up in a mall. I remember walking through the well lit mall, looking for the store that I would find all of them in. I finally reach the store and they all are making a lot of noise. I run up and make a big hello, giving everyone hugs and talking in a really loud, fakish, excited voice. Then I could sense some trouble coming. U-Turn from the show “Weeds” walked in with a few of his gangster friends. I knew that he was up to no good and that he was going to rob all of us. I jumped for one of those circular racks of clothes and hid in the middle. I shouted for all my friends to hid, but they just kept on being loud and obnoxious. U-Turn walks in and sees my friends. He says something I cant make out to one of his gang banger friends but they don’t appear to being doing anything. I then suddenly realize that my hiding spot isn’t as good as I anticipated and that I was completely exposed to U-Turn. He walks up to me and squats down to eye level with me. He has a glock in his right hand. He then calls out to one of his friends and says “Ahhh look here now, this one is scared of me.” They all laugh. He then explains to me that he isn’t going to hurt me and that I need to come out from the middle of the rack. I do as he says and I felt foolish for trying to hide from him. After I crawl out he explains that my fear of him hurt his feelings and that to make it up to him I had to be in his gang. I reluctantly agree. We leave the store and walk through the mall together. We enter a room full of wooden crates and metal platforms. U-Turns gang starts to go through the crates like an obstacle cores. I crawl up to the top of the crates with U-Turn and we have a long talk about being a thug in the gang bang business. I fell extremely nerdy and out of my league during the conversation. Then U-Turn pulls out a whole bunch of cocaine and tells me to eat it. I ask him why and he says “Bitch, just do it!!” I say okay but I don’t think eating it will do anything since you’re supposed to snort it. I eat what seems like fistfuls of it (it taste like shit and I felt no actual drug like effects from it) and then U-Turn yells at me and tells me to start my training. I have to then go through the wooden crate obstacle cores like everyone else in the gang. I remember feeling incredibly ridiculous going through an obstacle cores, having cocaine all over my face, and having U-Turn shout at me the whole time.

Dream Fragment: Contribute to not enough hours of sleep.
Was moving out of a house with Allen. Apparently we needed to get everything out THAT NIGHT. I had finished most all of it but my closet was still full of clothes and some miscellaneous boxes. Once again I seem to be having a dream about moving and having a ghost in the closet. I was generally in a good mood and was very energetic. However, I was frightened of seeing that ghost that lived in closet and I was working as fast as I could to get everything our before it got dark out. My grandma Lou was there too, which provided me some comfort. I remember throwing things into the back of my car and getting upset at how messy it was making my car
*memory laps*
Me and allen are driving in my car late at night. We see a group of “gangsters” on a street corner. Loud rap music is bumping and it looks as if a fight between rival gangs is about to break out. Allen and I roll up our windows and turn on our dance music. We both laugh at ourselves

I was at my old house with a random friend. We were talking about a bear that lived in the woods behind my house. I brought my green laser and he brought a gun. We explored the woods for a bit and couldn't find anything. On our way back home we saw a dead dear on the ground. I knew the bear would come. It came and we started running. The bear went straight for us. I made it but the bear grabbed my friend and started ripping him. I shined the laser in the bears eye and nothing happened. My friend was shooting the bear but nothing was happening. He threw the gun over to me and I tried to shoot it. I shot it in slow motion and did minimal damage. I threw it back to him. All this time the bear was ripping him apart. His arm was gone and he was bleeding everywhere. He shot it one more time and the bear died. I blacked out.

Dream One
"I'll Take My Chances with the Zombies..."

Zombies were attacking. At first, I was in an unfamiliar home, with some chick. I know that we were friends, at least, but I don't know if there was anything else going on between us. Without warning, zombies began breaking into the house, and I grabbed the girl by the hand and tried to help her escape, while she was busy losing her mind about the situation. It took us some time to find an exit that wasn't overrun with the undead, and we eventually made our way to the garage. Immediately, I started thumbing around for any tools I could use as weapons. I don't remember what I actually grabbed (if anything), but we were soon trying to force our way out of the garage and passed the growing mass of zombies that were coming up the driveway. During the scuffle, one of the zombies had gotten a hold of my arm, raking its fingernails across my flesh and tearing open the smallest of gashes. It was just a tiny scrape, and I didn't really think anything of it.

We continued fighting our way through the streets, and it seemed like the zombies were constantly multiplying, the longer we stayed alive. Dozens turned into hundreds. Hundreds seemed to turn into thousands. By now, my wound had visibly worsened, and I could feel an intense throbbing, slowly creeping its way up my arm. I knew that I had been infected, but I wasn't about to just rollover and let myself succumb. The longer we ran, the more that this girl seemed to be going crazy. She kept clinging to me, begging me not to leave her - even though I made no implication that I was doing so. Then, she started actually coming onto me. She began talking about how we were like the last 2 humans left, and she wanted me to be with her forever, and be her 'one and only.' (She continuously used that exact phrase.) At first, it was just annoying, but then it really began to freak me out. After a while, she could see that I was becoming more stand-off-ish, and she was becoming even more clingy. The clingier and crazier she got, the more I just wanted to get the hell away from her. Soon, it was like she became just as much a threat to me as the zombies, and I began running and hiding from her as well, while she tenaciously tried to hunt me down, attempting to make me want her.

The last few moments of the dream that I remember, were when I was coming to a T-junction of two city streets. In front of me, there was a horde of zombies walking in my direction. Turning to the left, I could see another large group of them, coming up the perpendicular street. Then, looking back the way I had come, the street was filled with the zombies that I had been chasing me for the last couple of blocks. I was surrounded, and I was running out of concrete, between myself and the approaching hordes. Practically out of options, and feeling the onset of panic, it finally hit me. I was dreaming! Immediately, relieved, I launched myself into the air and flew up to the top of one of the tall buildings nearby. Just when I looked back down to the zombie-filled streets below, I woke up.


Dream Two
"Tonight, We Dine in Hell"

The only thing I remember was that I was in a truck accident, though I don't believe I was driving. Another guy and I actually had to lift this damaged truck up off of a female figure, whom we had struck and was stuck in the undercarriage. I had some vague awareness of the previous (dream) situation with the zombies, and I was convinced that we had simply hit a zombie, but the other guy obviously wasn't, so I helped him raise the tail end of the vehicle, which was surprisingly lightweight. I was surprised to see a young (human) woman, tangled up in the bottom of the truck; slightly battered and bruised, but actually not looking half bad, for having just been run over by a pick-up.

After removing the woman from the undercarriage, we began to walk with her down the dark, deserted stretch of road. After some time, this enormous RV pulled up behind us, apparently offering us a ride. A wholesome-looking family beckoned us inside, and we happily accepted. However, the moment we got on board this mammoth vehicle, we were greeted with the business end of a double-barreled shotgun. An old, conservative looking man was behind the trigger, and his face was stern, yet calm. There was a young boy standing beside him, and they - and a couple more members of the family, looked us over for a moment. Then, the man suddenly said something like "looks like you joined us just in time. We were just about to eat dinner..." he then motioned to the little boy, never taking the gun off of us. He said that the little boy was their hostage, that they were about to eat him, and that we were either going to partake in the meal, or he was going to kill us all, right then and there.

The last thing I remember is doing my best to stall him with some nervous banter, while frantically trying to get enough awareness of my surroundings to devise a way to get us the hell out of there.

Sleep 10:00 pm
10/5/10

Smoked last night, terrible recall.

Was driving on a motorcycle to taco bell (could have previously been lucid, I don't remember if the dream started like that or not). I was driving on the main road in my town, and I didn't have my permit for a motorcycle. I quickly zoom through traffic, but the bike was not accelerating. I end up trying to find a parking spot, and I think I can't fit because the space was too big? Anyway, a geek squad car just corners into the parking lot and steals my spot. I was pissed and then I realized I was inside the building. I was walking around trying to find the bathroom or something and someone was with me.

Real Life Non-Lucid

1) I shot up out of bed at about 1:05am, convinced that I had slept an hours or two through my alarm, and therefore was very late for school. I jumped to the far end of my bed, my heart racing and breathing very heavily, before trying to make out the time. It was too dark to see the clock, but this alone showed it was too early to be 9am. I looked at my mobile quickly and realized the time, laughed and went back to bed.

2) Me and my friends were sat in a grassy area in our college eating or lunch. It was very sunny but a few clouds in the sky - at the times a cloud was covering the sun, making it shady. It felt like we were sat on the field of my secondary school, but I'm pretty sure we were at college. A girl called Rebecca.Ro was sat opposite me, sharing around a canteen packet of chicken nuggets and chips. The packet was white with red and yellow diagonal stripes going across it, like the ones in my secondary school. The chicken was more of a fillet than a nugget, only two large ones making up the chicken side. I really wanted to ask for some chicken, but I felt embarrassed to as I don't really know her very well. My good friend Sarah.S then started to do the same, sharing around food, except this time it was a little cylinder-shaped sachet of salt (try saying that 3 times faster ). She ripped the top off and threw the packet towards me but without letting go, so that the salt inside flew out and landed perfectly in my mouth, without any grains spilling anywhere else...like a boss. I was initially worried it would taste disgusting, but it wasn't very salty at all - I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed. I then updated my Facebook status, telling the world about my sodium adventure - because it was just too exciting to keep to myself I think I did this via a smart phone, as I later returned home and the status had been left. I was sat in my spareroom on the family desktop, and my status basically read that the salt really didn't taste salty, although it came across as tasting like ASIWYFA(then with about 5 unknown letters after). For those of you who don't know, ASIWYFA stands for 'And So I Watch You From Afar', a post rock band. So yeh, that made no sense. I think the other letters mixed in may been confused from OFWGKTA (A hip-hop collective called Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All). My friend Latham had commented already explaining that no-one knew what the abbreviation meant and that I should actually clear that up. However, he wrote it in extremely bad spelling and grammar - the kind a 12 year old boy has when he first discovers MSN 11 people 'liked' his comment.

3) I was in a hotel with a mixture of my Explorers troop and my secondary school, but I can't really remember anyone who was there. We were downstairs in a hotel lobby, although it was more like a youth hostel - pretty shabby. The lobby area was the back room that we used to wait around in during dress rehearsals at my old drama group. It was night time, and it was dark outside - however all of the lights were on in the room, the kitchen, the hallway etc. so it was nice and bright. We were stood around unpacking etc. in the lobby - which makes no sense if we were staying in a hotel? But yeh, people were getting into their sleeping clothes and what not. I decided I was going to go and brush my teeth, hoping others would come along, but they didn't. I looked to the left of me, and my mate Jamie.K had no trousers of boxers on!! Just his bare arse. I noticed he was very orange and tanned compared to usual. I looked at him awkwardly for obvious reasons and he looked at me back as if to say, "What? It's only natural!" I walked upstairs somehow, and was stood in the hallway of the area where rooms were found. The lighting was very scary - a very dark red, like something in a horror movie, although we just put it off as bad maintenance. Before brushing my teeth, I decided to check the public shared freezer to make sure our items were still in there. I walked over to it - it was a fairly big freezer on the ground and pretty organized. I figured it was going to be all broken with our food stolen, but it was pretty good. Strangely, in one of the top shelves, someone had put two chicken drumsticks.

Everyone around the area was pretty unfriendly and arrogant - they were all old than me, so they looked down on me as a wimpy kid ruining their fun. I even think some of them were travellers. They were all gathered in the hallway, leaning against the walls doing nothing much but insulting the younger people there. After checking the freezer, I started to leave without brushing my teeth - I'm guessing I got a bit intimidated and decided to come back when some of my friends were with me. As I was walking past one of the guys, I dug my hand into my left pocket to get some Skittles to eat - they were loose as they'd fallen out of the packet. I got a couple of yellow ones, but I caused a couple to roll out of my pocket and onto the floor whilst I was doing this. I got really embarrassed and clumsy, walking backwards to look at the skittles briefly, shrugging it off but tripping over my feet. They just said various stupid things to me, and I forgot about the skittles and continued walking around the square banister that led to the staircase. A guy by the staircase who looked just like someone in my Music Tech class called Josh.S said something to me - I can't remember what, but I remember it being friendly and possibly apologizing on behalf of everyone for being prats.

Suddenly, I was on the second floor landing of a much fancier hotel. I think it was possibly the same hotel, but in a different room or something...I don't know. Either way, it was very, very posh, well lit by chandeliers with fancy paintings and gold decor all over the place. I was now looking for the toilet again, and a butler stood by a large set of double doors asked me if he could help me. I asked him to lead me to the toilets, so he swung open the doors, ushered me through and began to lead me into a large hallway. There was a sharp right turn in the huge building. The carpets were very fancy. Suddenly, Amy was with me. The place looked very much like a church. As we were walking through, the man was teaching us about the ancient parts of the halls, but I couldn't help but be distracted by the fact that Amy was texting away on her blackberry - I thought it was really rude. Eventually, he told her to stop texting, which I was relieved about. However, we got to a set of pews where we stopped and the man told us to follow him further to examine something, but amy said "Wait a sec!!" as she was fiddling with her phone again on the pew. The man told her that he had asked her to stop that, and she told him to chill out as she was just finishing something.

Later on, I was in a circle of strangers (other than my friend Josie) just to the right of the pews - they all knew Amy somehow - however Amy was no longer there either. However, for some reason we had her phone. A little notification 'bleep' went off on her phone, and a girl that was in the circle checked it for her. She announced to everyone that our friend Ryan.Herb had died! Josie, who was sat to the left of me, asked if Ryan was the guy that started doing weed when he was in year 5. We said yes, it was.

4) My friends Will, Mandey, Mandey's friend who I did not know and myself were walking home from college via the same route I'd normally go. We were gonna pop into town, but decided to go back to my house to watch the rugby together. It seemed like some sort of date. We caught the bus from town to my house, but it seemed very short and my house was in the same town as my college in the dream - in reality, it is a good 30 minute drive. It was a cloudy day and about 4pm. Mandey had to leave early as she had other responsibilities at the Academy - i'm guessing it was dance or balet. However, she still said she'd manage to catch a good hour of the match. We also saw my dad at some point. As you can probably tell, I don't remember much about this dream - I'm just summarising what I wrote in my phone notes

Non-Lucid
Wake time: 5:17 am, 10/6/11
Recall: 8/10



I am in some sort of video game; the object being to collect the most magic stones (or whatever they were) before my opponents. I begin to panic as I try to keep up to have the most.

Somehow, in a way that isn't clear to me, I end up alone in Vickie's (my little sister's) room. I see that there is a microwave on the floor, and cheesecake and corn dogs on the top shelf of her closet. I reach up and grab two corn dogs, but before I can get them in the microwave Vickie and an attractive friend of hers with an English accent came in through the door.

I quickly hide the corn dogs in the mess of clothing and stuff Vickie has on the floor, and try to make small talk, in the hopes that they leave soon. However, it develops into an interesting conversation about Vickie's friend. (At one point, her friend becomes a bit irritated at me, though I'm not sure why. I think it was because I was trying to mimic her accent ...) Eventually they find out I was trying to snitch corn dogs and I know I'm in trouble.

The next thing I know is that I'm in the family room. I go into the kitchen, which now has a big mirror on the counter facing the family room. I walk up to it, so close that I can only see my face. (which has terrible acne on it) I'm disgusted by it, and as I slowly walk away, I see the same amount of acne all over my body. (I'm wearing a shirt, but the reflection shows me shirtless)

At that point I notice Shayla (my older brother's wife) nearby. I am utterly embarrassed and ask her if she saw the reflection. She doesn't answer, so I keep asking her, becoming more and more angry. I walk into the living room and see Jacob (said brother) sitting on the piano bench, telling me to calm down.

I now feel that it is hopeless, so I tell everyone to just forget it, and I head upstairs. I don't get too far though, before Robert (my oldest brother), who is studying his scriptures in the family room, says that he would like to have a word with me. I become grieved because I know that he is going to lecture me on my attitude. Still, I go ahead and sit down with him.

He turns to a passage in the scriptures and begins reading to me, putting extreme emphasis on pretty much every other word. He says this helps him better understand what he is reading. In the middle of this I suddenly come up with a way to more easily remember my dreams. (Although looking at the idea now, it doesn't seem too likely that it will work...) Right after that, I wake up.

Wake time: 3:28 am, 10/6/11
Lucid in a non-lucid, subconscious controlled
Technique: WTBT / WILD / FILD
Recall: 6/10

Trevor (my little brother) and I are going to sleep, after waking up in the middle of the night with no success on having a lucid dream that we remember. (This is what had just happened to me IRL [in real life] except Trevor didn't wake up with me) Trevor says Henry wants us to make the dream a fighting match, and Trevor wants to fight in an arena that is basically a big S. (or E, I can't remember) We both fall asleep and begin dreaming the same dream, and begin to fight.

A few moments after the fight starts, we both turn into characters of the furious five. (from the movie Kung Fu Panda) Upon doing this the rest of the furious five come join in and it becomes a fun little spar. This lasts about five minutes before I wake up IRL.

So i was in some house up in the mountains.i walked around and saw ma old man sitting in a chair. for some reason it felt like i knew him and i wasnt scared or anyhting. i was there for a little then he said lets get in the car and we started to drive down the mountain. he ended up at some factory were the press stuff together. he droped me off and left. i just wandered around there for a little while. then i had the feeling i need to leave so i just jumped on to some random semi in this shop and drove away. next thing i know im in this jungle like area in a war. this was the most vivid part of the dream. i was in a big group walking by some lake. then some one yelled open fire. i saw a huge gruop of enemy's coming across some trail ahead of us. i started shooting at them. it was really cool actually. i ran out of ammo and asked a few people for a clip. then we hiked for a little more then the trail narrowed and there were a ton of bad guys around the corner. i was randomly shooting then i saw a bad guy seeking up behind me. i turned and blew his face off. there was so much blood and guts. then i saw people retreating. i ran into the lake next to the commander guy. i told him i didnt want to die yet. then i asked him were was my bullet proof vest. i dont remember what he said. then i got scared and took off. i wanted to go back to that old guys house but i didnt have a car. so i just ran up into the mountains i keep running and running then i woke up

So last night was another failure for LD but i still think I'm improving as i have been able to remember my dreams 3 nights in a row.. So last night i tried the D.I.L.D technique again but it didn't work. I was thinking of going to a door and trick or treating to complete this months easy challenge but instead i found myself playing football with some of my friends from cyprus. The football was really harsh for some reason. There was a lot of brutal gameplay.. But i can only remember those facts of the dream.

In my opinion LD for me is around the corner.

Deleted

I was in a dark room where people where being brainwashed into doing bad things. Me and my friend managed to escape and he dissapeared from the dream for a while.

I was captured and was then taken back to the room, to be brainwashed. I resisted for as long as I could but in the end it got me. Basically there's a light that shines down from somewhere and a woman's voice says stuff. I left and bumped into someone, then I became semi-lucid, I started to fly around like Movie Ironman as thats the only way I can fly.

Then I was chased by that man all around my area to the park.

[COLOR="silver"]This night I used a rope instead of my elbow, to cover my eyes. If you want to try this, just use something to cover your eyes that gives a slight pressure on the eyes, not much, but just to make you unable to open they eyes. A sleeping mask just cover the eyes, but I can still open the eyes. So I lay in my bed on my back and started daydreaming and think about my day, then I got to the random thought stage again. I remember that my body started working against me and giving me unfomrotable sensations of giving up, and as usual I couldn't resist them. So in a reflex I got out of bed and throw the uncovered my eyes.

This was a good attempt, because I didn't fell asleep unconsciously and I could still focus on my thoughts, so all I need now is just a little patience while doing this and I might experience some non-physical sensations.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="blue"]I dreamt about a girl named Olivia. In this dream we were a couple and we took happy pictures of us on her macbook.
I remembered that I was bothered with my hairstyle, so I had to fix it over and over again. I also remember that we had a videoconversation with my classmates Martin and David.

Then I was on a bus, don't remember what happend next though.

I were on a theater with my class, we complained over the seats, because we could only hear the actors not see them.. But then they changed scene and we were in a perfect seat and all the other had to change seats instead. Weird dream as usual so it's not even explainable.[/COLOR]

[COLOR="silver"]I didn't woke up from my WBTB alarm.. and the EILD alarms wasn't loud enough for me to hear, for some strange reason. So the next night I will make my WILD attempt before bed and then hopefully I will wake up to the WBTB.[/COLOR]
