non-lucid

1. I noticed that the stars were out of place. I could only find two recognizable constellations, Orion and Scorpio, which seemed to be approximately in their proper locations. I reasoned that the end of this dimension must be very near for the stars to be so disorganized. I was too disappointed to be afraid.

2. I was riding in a vehicle with someone who kept getting in an accident. It was like we were stuck in a death loop. I knew what was going to happen each time but only a few moments before it happened. I never had enough time to warn the driver.

3. Was at a small party in an unfamiliar basement. I kept looking out the window at the feet walking past it. I decided to leave. Before I could everyone gathered into a circle and started confessing their deepest secrets. One of the people confessed to have loved me since 5th grade. I didn't know what to say to this so I said nothing. When my turn for confession came I only admitted that I was bored and wanted to leave. Then I left. The person who confessed love for me followed me but always stayed behind.

On a long journey, we were originally three. We were in a canoe traveling down a river through a jungle which looked like South America when one of my companions deliberately capsized the vessel. The boat sank and we could not get ashore because the shore was deadly for some reason. We had no choice but to swim along the river. My other companion was angry and tried to drown the offender, holding his head under water for about twenty seconds at a time, then releasing him before repeating. I told him to leave it and follow me downstream. He did but the guilty man tried to swim against the river, but eventually defeated, went with the current and joined us again by which time Mr Judge Jury and Executioner had cooled off enough to accept him back. It was generally accepted to have been just a bad joke though no word was again spoken on the matter. Somehow I had a very large stick which seemed to have come from the boat though what purpose it served I am sure I do not understand. It could have been a punting pole. Anyhow, I thought it prudent to hold onto. We reached a small tributary stream and decided to swim up this. After some distance the trees ceased and we were allowed ashore. The current was not strong at first but a rain surge headed down stream against us. We struggled on until the point where the trees thinned and then made our way ashore. I said, "we should stick to the water until we're back in the trees." what I meant was that we were heading back to a plantation from which we had come and since we didn't know how far it was, we needed access to the water. As we progressed, our party seemed to grow with random people who seemed to be adventure seeking. We came to a rocky pass which was guarded by a native tribe who seemed very interested in war. They had large bundles of spears ready to throw at us and many men as well as numerous other armaments. One member of our party suggested that they would be willing to accept another contest in place of war. This was agreeable since we had few weapons ourselves and no skill in war. I approached to parle and was accepted due to my courage in casually grabbing a bundle of spears from one of their warriors and examining it. One new member of our party was Lady Ga Ga, as played by Cher. The war tribe had Beyonce. They were to go head to head in a battle of wits. They were to each construct a rope structure which would be set fire to. Who ever made the rope structure which lasted the longest was to win. If Lady Ga Ga won, we would be permitted to pass. If on the other hand Beyonce won, we would have to turn away from the river and find another way. This was a great spectacle which was enjoyed by all. Lady Ga Ga won but it was late and we decided to stay and party the night, continuing in the morning. The next day, the party had been replaced with my school year group and we were on a coach. We were heading to a beach resort to stay for a few days. It was kind of like a cross between Jyndabine and Schoolies. On arrival after a long journey, the weather was beautiful and we were all dressed and ready for the surf but we were instructed to get into our school suits and attend a formal greeting upon which I discovered that my suit was missing along with many other items which I had packed. This caused me to destabilize and I was thrown out of the dream before I could realize that it was a dream.

I find myself in some kind of school setting, like high school or college. There is some kind of competition going on because there are different "stations" set up throughout the halls and lobbies. Each station is a different kind of skills contest, and the one who successfully completes all of the skills in the quickest time, wins. I'm going through, completing the different stations while at the same time talking to a friend. At one point, though, I am told to go back and redo a certain station by one of the judges/referees because they said I did not do it. But I know I did. So I go back to the station. There are two large tin buckets sitting about 5 feet apart. One is empty; the other is filled with crushed aluminum cans of different colors. I draw a card from the top of a stack of cards and read it: "Throw a blue can into the empty bucket." I complete the task easily but am upset because having to go back and redo that station ruined my chances of winning.
Afterwards, we all head into an auditorium where they are about to announce the winners of the contest. I am still mad and upset, and become even more so when I see that there is no place for me to sit. But then my friends all scoot over and make room for me on the end. At this point, I see that my friends are made up of a mix of people I know in real life and characters from movies and TV shows I have seen; Dr. Dorian (Zach Braff) from Scrubs is one of them. The character 'Rubin' (Paulo Costanzo) from the movie Road Trip is also there, and bragging about how he easily won the contest because for him it was no challenge whatsoever.

For the previous two days prior to having this dream, I had tried to make my dreams more vivid by taking a B Complex supplement that contained 50mg of vitamin B6. The supplement, however, had a negative effect on my dreams because for those two days I could not remember any when I woke up. This next dream is just a fragment, which came back to me while I was in the shower this morning:

All I remember of this dream is sitting at a large table, eating dinner with friends and family. My mother is there, telling me about the house we're in and she asks me, "Isn't it nice?" I somehow know that the house we're in actually used to be two houses but that the person living here knocked out walls to make it one big house. Glancing upward, I point out to my Mom that you can still see where the walls of the old house used to be because whoever remodeled it didn't do a very good job patching up the ceiling.

I remember having a full dream but I have no memory of the dream though it was quite long. After this, I had another dream which was also quite long. I don't remember anything up until the point when two girls I know go off to some place to help in the production of two Nintendo DS games. Upon their return, they are asked a few questions. The wording is blurry but the first was, "What was it like to work on the games?" The second was, "Have you tried out the games?" And the third was, "Do you have copies of the games, may we have a copy?" The answers are unclear to me but I have a distinct feeling that two games were added to my collection despite the fact that I had no physical embodiment in the dream, I believe that I was just an observer and did not take part in any actions. Some time after this scene, we were discussing names, particularly names from the French comic book 'Asterix et Obelix'. Somebody compared the common ending 'ix' from the comic and mentioned Bellatrix Lestrange from 'Harry Potter' and commented on her French name and possible French origin. Someone questioned whether a female name would end in an 'x' in French. Then I needed to go to the toilet.

I'm part of a movie crew shooting a Bela Lugosi style Dracula film. The actor playing Dracula wears more makeup and fur on his face as his creature becomes more evil in the story. We're shooting at an old, underground pagan temple. It's ancient - maybe Mayan or something like that. To get into the temple you have to slip down a water slide. The opening is so small - I am surprised as I watch actors and crew members use the entrance.

Inside the temple or ruins there are a lot of symbols painted. There is a large, round chamber. We're working on the movie, when I suddenly look up. I am shocked to see Christian paintings on the ceiling. I point it out to a member of the crew, showing him the pictures of saints and golden crosses on the ceiling. He tells me that I'm wrong. The symbols are Jewish. He points up at two of the faces on the ceiling and says, "See, that is James and Jesus. Jesus is just another prophet."

We continue working on the film for a while, then begin to explore the ruins, looking for treasure. The scene transitions. It's now myself, my cousin and my sister digging through a house my Grandmother and Aunts used to rent. We're going through their stuff and I know it is because they have died. (They are alive and well in real life, but I don't interactive with them at all). There is nothing of real value there. It's all junk.

I am searching through a coffee table. It has two doored compartments on either end and a large, open area in the center with a shelf. I find two necklaces that are nice but I know the last will and testiment already bequeaths those to myself and my sister so I don't worry about them. There is an angular make-up brush. I know that it is part of a set that my grandmother and aunts gave me as a gift. I don't bother to say anything though, since it's not important that I have the complete set. I also see a grey, dingy calculator. It's one of the old style calculators, large and clunky. I know that that is also somehow "mine" but I don't care to mention it. (None of these items are real items that I have ever seen before at my relatives' house).

My cousin, Matt, is digging through a box. I tell him that I already searched it. "It is just full of Christmas decorations," I tell him, expecting him to move on to search elsewhere. He keeps looking through it and says he will use the stuff to decorate his mailbox. I tell him, "There's a lot in there," trying to hint that it was more stuff than he would need to decorate his mailbox. He looks at me seriously. "What, Christmas isn't important?" he says, clearly agitated. I think for a second about debating about Atheism with him and decide to persue the topic. "Actually, it isn't," I say. Before the argument can get off the ground, my alarm clock wakes me up to get ready for work.

Very vague on details, the dream spanned two days representing the day prior to that night and the one following it. The first day was a Thursday and I was at band rehearsal when some non specific year seven kid - who's instrument I don't recall - talked to me and I noticed that he was wearing one of my Canterbury Polo Shirts (the one with the wide, horizontal, red and blue stripes). I pointed out that I had the same shirt and the conversation blurred out of my memory. Why was he wearing a Polo on a uniform day? The next day at school, at recess I noticed that many others were wearing Canterbury clothing including specifically (but not limited to): J.T., E.J., C.D., myself and two other individuals who's identities I can not recall. They were all different designs however, I was wearing my red and blue polo, I think C.D. was wearing a Canterbury Sport Jacket and E.J. was wearing a Rugby Jersey. The others I don't recall. I nearly wore the same shirt this morning until I remembered the dream. The relationship to these specific days because the band rehearsal was in KM1 as it was yesterday and we had an out of uniform day (jeans for genes) on the Friday as we have today.

4 Aug 2011

Very vague, something about keeping a look out for ten things, also reference to an equation from the final question in the physics bowl in an episode of "The Big Bang Theory", the solution being '-8PiAlpha' (both the solution from the show and the one which I derived in my dream) and reference to the 824 party as organized IRL by individual(s) unknown, to be held on the morning bus on August 24, 2011 (8/24). No other details.

non-dream dream lucid false awakening

Skating by the river
I was visiting Lisbon and later my hometown, somewhere in the future. Everything looked so different. All the places from my past were either in ruins or had given place to shiny news constructions.
The riverside was now a bit dangerous, because the weather was erratic and strong unexpected rains could cause flash floods at any moment. Still, the youngsters enjoyed skating in really high-tech high-speed skates down a path by the riverside of Lisbon.
I decided to take a walk there but the youngsters complained about my presence on foot. I decided to skate to, but all I could do was to make appear some inline skates on my feet - no fancy high-tech things like they had - so I continued being an obstacle to them and they kept complaining, as they passed speeding by my side.

White wolves
Eventually I headed to my hometown. I lived some adventures down the way, but nothing worth mentioning. What matters is that eventually I got lucid there and I flew up in the air to absorb the detailed landscape from above while deciding what to do with my LD.
I landed on top of a large concrete building on top of a hill and I planned to pursue my latest adventure of getting the sword of Manjushri from the guy who had it. But as I was summoning a portal to go to the land of Aud, two giant white wolves appeared out of nowhere, growling and looking for a way to get me. I felt safe, because I was on top of a building, but then I noticed there was a ramp on the back of the building, from the hill directly to this rooftop, which I could swear wasn't there before. They were getting really close and I decided to jump through the portal I had opened, although I hadn't clearly figured where I wanted to land.
Anyway, I think I landed in Aud, I just didn't know exactly what part of it. It was a rough landing. I fell on the ground with my bottom. Everything was pitch dark and I realized it was night. I could feel grass under my hands and hear a murmur of water to my right side. I was afraid the wolves could have crossed the portal to, but after a while of hearing no threatening sound, I was rest assured I was all by myself. I cringed against a warm rock waiting for the morning. When the sky started to light up I saw I was on some prairie, with a lake and a forest in the horizon. I guessed the forest was the one around the town of Denn, but before I could even make plans about what to do next, I started waking up...

It turned out to be intricately beautifully, i found myself running away from a faceless dark shadow around bellevue. The day was dark, almost night, i was not lucid. I remember entering my old house from childhood seeking refuge from this dark spirit, i found the house battered and destroyed, nothing to ease my anxiety from what was following me. I opened an old familiar drawer and there be the face of the deadly spirit, (unfortunately its face i cannot remember) gashing out and haunting me once more. in shock i run outside and attempt to get as far away from it as possible, i run as far on to the rode as i can and decide not to stop, but in the distance i see it waiting for me. a tear falls from my face, i cant get away. at that instant i remembered a fragment of the most powerful force in the universe, the one tied to love and happiness, it was acceptance. i stepped forward, grounded ready to face that which was unknown. in that instant a sudden paradoxical realization enters my awareness...this is impossible. i smile a lucid. but this was different then any other iv had before. vast energy was propelling itself inside me, my mind filtered simultaneously with all the limitless possibilities and i found that the shadow spirit was shrinking, a moment of identification made me realize that rather i was levitating. i looked upon the deadly spirit and felt sadness for it, as it was frantically attempting to suck me into its spiral of confusion. i understood that this spirit was me, but in its pure opposite, confused scared alone, filled with anxiety and panic. i developed a blue energy ball and hurled it into the spirit, it instantly changed color and dove into my chest, i felt one with the universe. i looked around at the beautiful landscape that i called home and felt endowed with the power to enter a different dimension. I bid promise to return to this landscape that i have grew to love in my waking state. and, with a shift of my awareness, i appeared in another reality, one that i cannot recall in detail, one that is indescribable, beyond that of human capabilities. i find that all that remains in the core feeling of what it was like. i recalled a movie phrase my cousin had said to be the previous day from pirates of the Caribbean "your off the edges of the map mate, here there be monsters", i smiled while levitating over this new world and dove in at light speed... the adventures i had from their i cannot completely recall... and my memory fades from there. i understood how this dream was teaching me to deal with current life situations, i woke with a smile and confidence to go through the days stress ahead.this a new level of dreaming and look forward to exploring it more as my days continue.
omnipresence.

Aeolar's Attempt

I am in this building with my mom, and I have been gone for a very long time, and a lot of things have changed. We talk about how I am a witch/wizard now. Dreamskip. I am trying to clean my Xbox controller of this yellow stuff, but when I do, flies come out of it.
--------
I am in my Grandma & Grandpa's house, and Grandma had gone to bed. I was talking to grandpa about sports, and he chased me with a pillow, trying to hit my. I asked myself how I was supposed to remember this dream... I made fun of Grandpa and his golf, and I ran upstairs to wake Grandma and dodged a thrown pillow from Gpa. I told her that he and I would be busy. Dreamskip. I ask Gma where her musket is; she says it's in the closet. I open it, and find the gun. Gma says the ammo is .99 balls, and she says that they are cheaper than gun paper. I head shot 12 people in a row, and go back to the closet. I need to go down to Gpa.

In the closet, 2 interesting repeaters appear before me. One with a huge stock and a tiny barrel, and another with the repeater like a grip, but on this one, there were 2 places to put your ammo: I found some rounds but they looked like mini pistols, which I put into the left side, and closed. I pressed the trigger, and a Red Dead Redemption cowboy song began to play to set the mood. I looked for more ammo and found these shots that looked like cogs, and mixed with the pistols. I loaded both up, and I overflowed it a little, then locked and loaded. I shot a few rounds just to make sure it worked. I went downstairs, and the perspective changed to Gpa's vision. He was in a western mining town, and all sorts of people were charging him. He was scared. I came rushing down, and shot some people. The reloading was difficult, because it was so far away. I actually rubberized the gun to make reloading easier. I made it to Gpa, but the dream faded.
-----------------
Fragment: There was a girl either asking me about the truth, or testing me. I think she had black hair.
------------
I am in a hotel room, by myself, and I had thought that Josh, Anthony, Dad & Dawn had left me here. There was a whole bunch of clothes that I presumed were for me just sitting around. I decided to be picky and take the ones I liked, and put them in this backpack. As I put these clothes in, they all walked into the room. They bitched that the door was open, of all things. -___-

I asked Josh if I could use this backpack, because I had already packed and didn't really want to unpack/repack, and he said OK.
-----------------
I am on a beach with my Northern family, and a few other people. I go out a little further down the beach ahead of the pack, and this little Asian girl follows me. As we are walking on the shore line, a giant Directv cardboard box with a TV in it comes flying at us from the sea. It hits me, and I yell, "Man down! Man down!!" The little girl gets freak out and starts crying, and everyone runs over to help. I was joking, of course. After that little fiasco is over, we are walking on a seawall, and the kids want to go swimming. Seriously?

An adult says yes, but to watch out for the oysters. In a flash, James jumps over the wall and into the sea. I look for him, but I spot Julius, a black kid with a mohawk. I ponder calling to to him, but he seems confused, just walking into the water. I wonder if that is really him. Some others and myself wander over to the nearby playground. As I am walking, I am composing an orchestra in my head. I wonder if this is how Mozart and Beethoven did it. I sit on a swing, and a girl calls out to me. "Hi Phil!! Phil!" She yells. I see her out of the corner of my eye, but there is someone more interesting for the moment. There is a very familiar man sitting on that swing set, but before I think of going to him, I hear her call again. I turn and yell out, "Leah! Hi there!!" She and Meagan come over, and I drop something. As I pick it up, I notice that my pants aren't on. I go over to a conveniently placed pile of clothes, and grab a towel and a pair of shorts.

Aeolar's Attempt

I am a young dragon, and I'm stuck in a war. I get adorned with amulets and such.
--------------
I am a little boy, with a group of people. Now, we were searching through this abandoned warehouse, and I noticed something strange. The building was alive, and had a mind of it's own! At one point, our group split up, and we made our way to a loading dock. Outside, there was a big broken down building, and it seemed like it hated me. I tried to speak to it telepathically, but it just sprayed water at me. I tried to apologize, but it just threw a couch at me. This went on for a little bit, when the rest of my group came back with a white van. There were 2 people in that ban, and I got in, just standing in the doorway. 3 cops pulled up just as we were driving away, and when I looked out the door, there was something floating beside me that said "Happy Birthday". I knew it was from the building, so I was cautious, but I grabbed it and placed it inside.
--------------
I am at my Elementary School on Anna Maria Island. I was talking to Stephanie Schenk and I was asking why she worked out the way she did. I don't remember her reply. There were 3 people who appeared at the school, and they were talking about tattoos. Then we played some weird toy game and everyone turned into Lady Gaga with blue hair. LOL.

I remember swimming....wrestling with this thick juicy black girl...but I left. I was running around school. It seemed like my old elementary in a way, but things about it were different. I was jumping and sliding across things like I was grinding with my skates on. I got to an area where there was some musical/play thing going on, and I was back stage. There were a few piano players taking turns running off stage and tagging out to play different songs on two different pianos. I listened for a while, and continued on. I came to an area where I was outside, and there were offices that had no roofs, and they were below ground level.

I didn't know where I was, but I had that "I have to be somewhere" feeling. When I headed back inside, a huge lizard fell out of the ceiling. It was about the size of a cooler, and it was wrapped up in moss. The lizard started charging me, and of course I'm already thinking about how to kill it. It gets close and snaps at me, and I dodged it. It snapped at me again, and then I stepped on it's head. I pulled a pair of bandage scissors from my pocket and tried to cut it's head off, but it slipped away. It started gnawing away at my boot, and I managed to slice it on it's side, exposing some white meat. I could feel the draft of wind knowing the next bite was probably going to teeth to flesh, and when it struck, I woke up.

I was in a sort of laboratory, in a medium size room with a window in the wall for looking upon a similar room. The rooms were made almost entirely out of clean white tile, and were rather empty. I was in a lab coat, standing parallel to the window, and observing the wall on the other side of it with apparent purpose. One or two other lab coated folks were standing beside me, to my right, doing the exact same thing.

Just fragments tonight, but I'll post them anyway.

1st fragment: I was playing a broken Minecraft adventure map, and after reading many complaints on the forums about how the map was poorly drawn and upside down and all that, I played it anyway. I glanced at a yellowed, ink-drawn map with some villages and towns marked as circles at several times throughout the dream. The dream fragment ends when I am sneaking around a dock and examining a boring ship, preparing for a voyage, from around a building.

2nd fragment: I was at an airport parking lot at dawn. I had been in this exact setting before, on vacation. I walked up to the typical reflection of a bored, unenthusiastic, minimum wage, college-aged teenager at a ticket booth. He wore a Lowe's Uniform. I was about to pay a ticket, but then I was shocked into lucidity. It was so ungraceful I almost tipped over.
Sadly, my first thought was how lightly I was sleeping. I could start to feel the pillow under my shoulders. Focus... focus...
My eyes, in waking life, opened. After several attempts to DEILD, I decided I was too awake to fall asleep again.

I was having trouble seeing because my contacts are not sticking well. One feels like it's about to peel off. I have to wear glasses.

I recall seeing the beach.

NOTES: I also remember realizing I was in a dream, but I wasn't able to remember the rest.
