non-lucid

07/24/2011
Over the past three nights I have been continuing to try to boost my recall using a self hypnosis program, and I have had recall more consistently, although there haven't been any useful dreams. It seems my recall is a bit better but my dreams are dumb… Here are the dreams I had.

EVE Online
I am flying a space ship from the same point of view as in the video game EVE Online, viewing the ship from above and behind. Unlike in EVE, however, I am flying the ship low over the surface of a mountainous planet. I am flying through some very vivid and detailed canyons in search of something, some piece of loot lost by pirates when they were destroyed when orbiting the planet. Somehow I am convinced the item has survived reentry and also had some way to slow its descent so it didn't make a crater. I start wondering if that was a mistake… maybe it wasn't able to slow down and it punched its way through into an underground cavern. I fly farther down a canyon in search of a cave large enough to fly my ship into so I can search underground.

Weight Loss Success
I am in my room selecting out clothes as I get ready to go to school. I am running late and I don't want to take the time to find my clothes, which don't seem to be where I put them. I find an old red skirt that I know is too small for me. I decide that since I have lost weight, maybe it is no longer too small… so I put it on. It fits perfectly! I finish dressing and I run out to tell my mother how much my weight loss is showing, my skirt fits again! She is happy for me and says I look nice, but I had better get to school. I leave for class, thrilled that my diet is bearing fruit!

Stealing Bases
I am with Tigress and we are walking down on the south side of town near the local swap meet. She wants to go somewhere, I am just following her. We end up at a ball park where a baseball game is about to start. I say I don't want to watch baseball, but she can, I'll hang at the swap meet until the game is over. She says forget the game… let's go. I follow her, thinking we're both going to the swap meet. We end up at another entrance to the ball park. I repeat that I don't want to watch baseball. She is a bit annoyed, but goes into the stadium to find a seat. I leave as they are singing the national anthem while saluting a flag that nearly drops on my face. I go to the swap meet and find a jewelry store. I am browsing when I hear a couple of people planning to shoplift. One will create a diversion, the other will steal. The diversion begins, I take advantage of it to steal a gold necklace and a ring. I notice that the necklace is priced $659. The two who had planned the theft get caught, I sneak out. Now I'm a thief. I wonder what I intend to do with the jewelry… wear it? Maybe. Sell it? Maybe.

This Old House
Tigress and I are exploring a house, it is a large old house that I don't recognize at all, and it has a really strange layout. We enter into a small room that has a lot of knitted wall hangings, it is clear the previous owner of the house liked to knit. I have the idea it was a little old lady who has recently passed away, and she has left the estate to… to me? To Tigress? I'm not sure. But somehow the house is ours, Tigress' and mine. I have to pee. I look around for a bathroom and I find one. I am a bit concerned that the water won't be turned on, but it is running. The toilet is weird. Really small, no lid, but there is water in it. So I use the toilet. My addition fills the tiny bowl past the fill point, triggering it to flush automatically. The flush itself splashes water past the fill point, triggering another flush. That flush triggers yet another flush… that could go on forever. I don't know how to stop it, so I leave.

June 1, 2011
This was a particularly cool non-lucid/semi-lucid dream I had a while back. Parts where non-lucid while other parts were semi-lucid. The dream started at a time in the past when I was new to dream control, in the dream. I mean, as part of the dream time line. I think I was walking around in some field somewhere, when a small, 8 petaled flower fluttered down from the sky. It looked similiar to a sunflower, with a dark speckled center, and orangey yellow petals. A werewolf spawned from it and woke me up in the dream. I was still dreaming, and the dream story skipped to another time, where I started to sleep again. I was being taught dream control by a sort of mentor.

It was a she. She was teaching me how to spawn these flowers, and influence what came out of them. At first, I was afraid it would be another werewolf, but my mentor told me to expect a bunny, and when I did one hopped out of the flower I summoned.

After I realized how easy it was, I went home to practice summoning. This section was semi-lucid, because I realized I could do anything I wanted, but I didn't want to do anything I wouldn't do in the real world, if anyone could see me. I could easily call a flower down and influence what came out of it.

After summoning some random stuff, I decided to summon a furry to have sex with. I called down a flower, but when I summoned the furry, it came out as a hardened plush toy. At this point, my mom started to come out, and I felt a need to hide the thing. I tried to summon a tote box, but It came out as a cardboard box that had been warped from water. Using telekinesis I put the box over the plushy, and my alarm went off.

When I woke up, I said "that was an awesome dream."

A week ago I had a very strange non-lucid dream about tigers riding on the back of elephants. It was actually a stampede of elephants, running across streets. I made this very raw depiction of my dream (see illustration, the elephants look like cardboard figures but this is unintentional)




In this dream I was a bystander, witnessing the stampede. I know there are stone statues near temples in India of tigers riding on the back of elephants, but it's meaning is unknown to me. Can someone please (on short notice) enlighten me and tell me if there's any symbolic reference to certain events or if this has anything to do with me. It is very important to me.

My DEILD attempts seem pretty crappy for now. Although I will never give up, I think i'm doing something wrong which causes me to fail multiple times. I'm always waking up and not moving but I can't seem to enter a dream. I might ask for help around here, since everyone is so nice .

Dream 1: This morning all my dreams seemed to be somewhat connected to each other into 4 dreams. The first is me in a huge stadium. I am playing hockey with my team des Québécois. For a roster change I am offered to trade one of my players for a guy in the Mexican team. They all wear yellow shirts and one looks like an actor in a shampoo commercial. I refuse, saying out loud that a caucasian with make more sense for my team. This pisses them off and connects to my second dream.

Dream 2: I wake up, fall back to sleep and find myself in a huge labyrinth which I believe to be an airplane (although it isnt, its more a huge square). The mexicans decide to act out an act of terrorism on my plane and want to crash it. In the corner, they light up a bomb while a female voice screams to me to stop them and that they are lighting the fuse. As I am about to stop them, I am now out of the plane and on the ground looking at they sky as an actual plane explodes and crashes. My uncle, me and a baby (my newborn cousin, maybe?) are the only survivors. This chains on to my second dream.

Dream 3: This time, I manage to not move when I wake up but fail to enter a dream lucidly. I fall back alseep and now my uncle and I are in survival mode. The scene is now very apocalyptic. I tell him we will need to rationalize the little food we have (he is carrying a shopping cart) but he says we have plenty. We go in a grocery store and stash up on food. Then were at my home and out of nowhere a giant grey spider lands on my patio. Its not very scary and I am more confused then frightened. My uncle attacks it but then he takes it in his arms and carries it to the pool next to where I am standing (the spider has gotten way smaller but is still huge). I am about to get into the pool but as my dream fades out, I become for a splitsecond before ending up bck in my bed.

Once again, I do not move a muscle but simply look stupid in my bed. I even try to imagine the dream scene in my head and feel the water, but no luck.

Had trouble sleeping thanks to insomnia. Can't remember anything dream related. :/

NON DREAM DREAM LUCID

Okay, so this is just mostly a collection of dream fragments that I remember from last night. They were all very strange...as my dreams usually tend to be. xD

I'm with one of my best friends J. She's spending the night at my house, although it's not really my house. It seems like more of a log cabin type place. J and I are sitting in this really big rather empty room, except for a bed and a nightstand/dresser type thing. For some reason, the room seems to be shifting, but not exactly tilting. Almost as if only the inanimate objects of the room were moving, but not us.

After trying to fumble around with the dresser and trying to figure out what was happening, J says, "Wow, what's wrong with this room?". I look at her and say, eyes wide, "Inception!". She gasps as she realizes that I'm right.

The dream has shifted to another part.

I'm sitting in a restaurant with my dad, brother, and sister. I'm pretty sure it's either T.G.I Friday's, Red Robin, or some sort of a mix than the two. I don't remember exactly what happened, just that in the end, I ended up trying to run away, and I was standing in some sort of a dirt/gravel parking lot. I'm also pretty sure Kevin James was there.

And again, the dream shifts. Weeeeee.

I don't know how many of you watch NCIS, but it's my favorite show. Anyways, so, I'm riding shotgun in this red convertible, with the driver being the NCIS character Tony DiNozzo (played by Michael Weatherly). In the backseat are the characters Abby and McGee (Pauley Perrette & Sean Murray). We're all just having a good time, playing some music on the radio and singing or whatever. We're driving to a crime scene, I guess, although it was more an area of interest than a crime scene. Turns out that we're looking for Ziva, another character (played by Cote de Pablo). I suppose she's MIA.

Before arrival at the crime scene, Tony offers all of us a piece of bubblegum, which I gratefully accept. Once we get to the area, we find it's like a camp ground kind of things, with lots of forest surrounding it and a firepit and some log cabins. We're all standing there when I notice, behind a bush, a fox is peeking its head out of the ground. It doesn't seem afraid of us at all, and actually climbs out further. I point it out to the team, and they all fall silent. The fox walks up to us and brushes up against our legs, letting us pet him. It turns out to be an arctic fox. (What an arctic fox was doing there, I have no idea. )

We're running around for a while, acting like children, even though we're supposed to be working on finding Ziva. At some point, I notice a giant blue trampoline on the campground. I point to it and yell, "Look! A thumb!" (WTF?)

We're now very excited at my most recent discovery, but we can't just walk over there, oh no. So, Tony and I begin skipping like little school girls down some sort of a cobblestone path until we get to the trampoline. It was quite a sight to see someone like him skipping. I realize that another character, the team leader, Gibbs (Mark Harmon) has arrived, and was watching us skip. He was talking to someone else, someone who had more authority over him. I heard the other man say, "You trust them to find her?". Gibbs was just like, "Oh yeah, I trust 'em, alright. They'll get the job done." I just remember the other man shaking his head and saying something like, "Alright, if you insist."

So, now, Tony and I are on the trampoline, ahem, "thumb", and we're jumping on it. That's when I hear Tony shout, "Look out! Fox!"

Of course, he gets off the trampoline in time, but I don't, and the arctic fox jumps up and clamps his jaw down on my arm. It didn't hurt or anything. It was actually kind of funny, because we all knew the fox just wanted to play. Even though it was small, it was completely stopping me from attempting to move it, or move myself at all. I remember thinking, "Stupid bubblegum."

And once more, the dream has shifted. Woot woot.

I'm somewhere talking to my Mom, telling her about the story with the fox that attacked me. Once more, I refer to the trampoline as the thumb. I don't know. Anyways, I tell her that I was chewing bubblegum.

"Oh, was it a heavily wooded area?" she asked. I said, "Yeah." She nods her head knowingly. "The fox probably just smelled the bubblegum. It attracts them, y'know."

Great to know, mom. Great to know.

The first dream was in my home. We had an abundance of cats, all kinds. But some of them were not actual sizes. Like, the Bobcat, it was about half the size of a regular bobcat. I remember going around my house, just petting and moving around the cats. I went downstairs, because that's where most of the exotic cats are at. I go down, and all of the cats were friendly. . . except the Bobcat. . . I pet it, and it tried to bite my hand. I jumped back, feeling my heart speed up. I turned to run up stair, but the Bobcat bit my leg, RIGHT above my Achilles tendon. I felt no pain, but I felt the adrenaline and fear that goes with the pain. I was running up the stairs, and my heart must've been too fast, because it woke me up.

I woke up at 5, and tried for TWO HOURS to get back to sleep, I eventually did, and I had another dream.

I was at a sleepover, and we were all in this overly large swimming pool. It was only guys. We were all having fun, but we decided to get out. As we go inside, we all change in the same room, I was gay, so when I saw that , I was all like "Wow". Then someone decided that we would have some sort of contest.
"Hey, whoever gets changed first gets to make out with me!"
I thought it was only gonna be me who changed quick, but EVERYBODY went changing as fast as they could. I came in second, so I got to make out with him next. I went out, strangely, a window, back into the yard. Where the pool was, now was this LED runway type thing. It lit up all different colors. The guy who changed the fastest went out on the runway, and the guy was on a pedestal near the beginning of the runway. The winner went up, and made out with him, then went down the runway, and then there was a SECOND guy on ANOTHER pedestal, and he was like "Make out with me, too!" So he did, and then went on his merry way.
It was my turn, so I get on the start of the runway, and all of the sudden the runway lights changed into something that looked like the "Nyan Cat" meme going all over the internet. On a wall that used to be a fence, i think it was a fence, was now part of the LED runway. It had words going all over it saying "DANCE DAnce Dance dance!" Just like that. Then an announcer guy's voice came all over, saying "ALL RIGGHHHTTT TYLER! You are the next contestant, and in order to make out with these two AMAZING guys, you have to know the name of this song! Then a song that I NEVER heard came on over his voice, and I had the urge to walk across the runway. As I walked there were "beats" on the runway, so I tried, and kinda failed, to step on the beats, and at the end, the song stopped, and the announcer came back on. "ALLL RIIIGHHHTT! Do you know the name of that song!?" I truly had no idea, but I wasn't going to miss the chance to make out with these guys, that were HOT, mind you. So I said, quoting the LED wall "Dance. . Dance. . .DanceDance?"
There was SILENCE, then there was a bell. "CONGRATULATIONS TYLER!! Now, go claim your prize. As I walked down to make out with the first guy, my dream, like, fast forwarded past that part, and I had no recollection of it, but in my dream state, I didn't even realize it. Now I was telling my sister about it, and the first guy that I made out with, was my sister's best friend brother. "Oh my god, Tyler! She's going to kill you!" Then I THINK I said something, but then the dream kinda faded into another one.

It was an older time, with older cars, clothing, and music. My person apparently worked at some very crappy diner. I get there, and the owner, whose name I can't remember, looked kind of upset. "Thank god you're here! Barbra isn't here yet, and this is our most popular day ever!" She threw this dirty little apron at me, and I put it on. Soon after, Barbra got there. She was wearing this blue dress, and she was quite old. I can't remember the dream past there. . .

FireDevil's Dream

Dream about playing a cod like game. There were rounds where you had to eliminate the entire enemy team. If you died you were out that round. We were using actual guns and I could see the pain on peoples faces, but I never died. The dream was also very realistic because everything was so detailed and fine. At one point my friend was holding an ak74u and I could see all the intricate details that were on the gun. In the last round we had to find our own guns. This is when my friend took the ak74u and I had to find an M14 in another building. While I was looking for a gun my team left my side and I was alone finding a gun. When I did find a gun I moved out and I saw a battle where the other team didnt shoot because they thought it would hurt too much. Instead they grabbed a tennis ball and whipped it at my friends belly multiple times. Then someone stepped in and said wtf are you doing. The one guy was like do you want a piece of this, then the other guy was like sure, whatever. The guy who stepped in proceeded with punching the other guy in the face. They almost started a brawl, however he started crying and went to sit down at a desk where someone walked up and began to comfort him. There is another part to this dream, but it is very personal.

Opposing Force (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

No recall here.

Running from the Black Ops -- a group of stealth military operatives. They were out to kill the aliens AND shut up any survivors of the area to cover it up. Yup, I was a survivor. They were wearing stealth suits and had the Half-Life One SMG.







I found my way to an elevator and went up it to a room with six windows and one door. I blocked the door with a prop.

(garry's mod mode here.. prop spawning, sandbox mode, etc.)

All the windows had buttons over them. JUST like the ones from Garry's Mod on rp_downtown. I pressed each button to block the view of the windows (a plywood sheet slides out)

They would eventually open themselves. Turns out I had to set them and lock them and not just press the open/close button. People form Fayetteville started coming up the elevator. I was unable to figure out the window system in time. A flying red alien (think skyline, but not blue), There were about twenty of us inside and a window opened -- the alien opened fire, killing most. I managed to escape through the door I barricaded earlier.







I ran down a few flights of stairs. Four black ops were there. A bunch of Barnacles from Half Life 2 were also on the ceiling. They were taking careful measures to avoid them. Not knowing what to do, I jumped down a flight of stairs, wrapped my legs around his chest, and began to choke the man. His friends wouldn't help him as I was using him as a human shield and there were barnacles on the ceiling.






These guys grab onto you with their tongues and pull you up and chew.. yum..

The other guys ran and I let this guy go as he ran too. I went through the same door they did down the stairs. I was in a school hallway with a huge profesionally-cut hole in the right wall. I went through it and somebody had the garry's mod fading door tool made of general props. I went through it before it closed.

It was the guy from the skatepark. The extremely good one. He walked in and his door re-appeared (no longer faded due to keypad timout)

This was a MASSIVE underground bathroom... of which I have dreamed in twice. *smack*


One operative found a hole in the door where you could see and began to fire. I spawn another general prop and tried to block it off, but was trying to dodge bullets and kept hitting walls and the prop was turning, making it difficult to block off the top (people were jumping on the keypad then over the door)

No recall.

Starcraft II (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was spectating from the player's view of an RTS game. I was "defender of the casle" (yes, the screen mispelled it)

A Command & Conquer Generals homebase was up, as well as four others. I told the builder to make roads between them. These roads carved out massive canyons to make the roads, oddly.

I was quickly swarmed by an opposing team with two units -- a rusher. he took me out. A grenade was chucked high up and bounced off the sky ceiling, back to ground. My camera changed to just behind the grenade and controlled it until it hit a target.

Fade.

Firm first-person perspective

D (only dream)
I’m driving down the street of a European-style city in my mom’s Chevy Aveo. The street is made of red bricks, the side walk is made of red bricks, the 3-and-a-half-story houses are made of red bricks, even the lamp-posts look like they’re made of red brick. The roofs aren’t. They’re Chinese-style.
At some point, I switch to driving on the (very) wide sidewalk, and continue to do so until I come to a barrier in the middle of it. The road keeps going and curves off to the right, but the sidewalk beyond the barrier slopes down for a couple hundred feet before dropping off into a mist.
I exit the car, which now also looks a little like it’s made of brick, and look to the left of the car. There is a gap in the houses 15 to 20 feet wide with a pipe railing going along it. Past the rail, the whole city is lower by 20 or 30 feet, so that the (two-story) houses’ roofs are a little lower than the sidewalk I’m on.
I vault over the rail onto the rooftop of the first house. It’s a long roof, so I run along it, passing two small gables jutting out along the way. The Roof turns right, and I stop, facing a one-window gable. Opening the window (how the heck did I do that?), I enter the building.
It’s a sort of antique shop, or pawn shop. More likely a pawn shop, but lots of the things are old, and it’s pretty neat for a pawn shop. I look around for a minute (I don’t remember what’s there), and then wander downstairs.
When I get downstairs, I run into (not literally) the owner of the shop and a 13-ish-looking girl. They’re both dressed in 1800’s-style clothing, and the owner, and old man, looks like the old guy in “Pinocchio”. He says something to the effect of “I guess I must have not seen you when I locked up the place.” but, as usually happens in my dreams, he says so in considerably fewer words. The creepy thing about him is that, after I agreed with him, he looked at me like he knew I had broken in. Go figure.
In the end, I leave and am just closing the door (I’m on ground level), when the dream ended. Or at least my memory of the dream ends.

ReachingfortheDream's Dream

I was at a subway station, supposedly at OM, but the station didn't resemble it since the platform was in the middle. I wanted to get food which was why I was on the subway. I was trying to think of where the closest and cheapest food was, and I thought of the McDonald's at DW. Then, as the subway I was looking at passed by, I realized that there was a random mall on the other side of the tracks. There was a McDonald's right there. I was quite happy about this. I ran up the stairs and tried to find the mall.

---

I was at some random park or something. I was with some family friend apparently. She had a random homemade rollercoaster in this patch of grass on her property. She kept adding on parts to it.

At some point I was also running around in some sort of countryside setting, I remember going to a cottage or something.

Going to bed 12-12:30
Goals: DILD, Stabilize, Fly, Teleport
4:33 I rem leaving this place, im passenger in a car, dont know who im driving with. We come up to a checkpoint where they raise a gate to go through. The guy at the checkpoint keeps calling us your majesty but not because we are royalty or something, in the dream i know its just the way they talk to hotel guests or something. When we leave the driver does something, i think hits the gate, to get us in trouble. I rem going back and the gates attendant standing there with his boss or something waiting for us.

6:06 Vaguely rem being at school

7:29 Im at a big lake with my sister and uncle and a few other people here and there. The lake is really large and is sperated in the middle by rocks that are equally spaced apart. The land around it is really swampy and there is a very steep hill. Im at the lake with some kind of group, including my sister and uncle, two or three of the group members went off trying to climb the steep hill. I had thought about trying but stayed here instead.

I rem one point getting out of the water by a bunch of bushes and i see a wasp flying around, i quickly jump back in and i notice a stink bug. I start swimming and i see a baby snake in the water. I go over the rocks in the middle and tell my uncle as i pull myself to the side to get out. I had already been swimming a long time it felt like, i rem thinking i cant believe there have been snakes in here the whole time. I rem the water being really brown and murky and you cannot see in there.

When i get out i start walking around and noticing families of penguins everywhere. They are playing in the mud. I go up to one family and they arent really scared. I even pet two of the bigger penguins, Dont rem much else

*I rem being in the kitchen and pantry with a bunch of dcs i dont know. We are all passing a joint, it seems like it could be a group from the previous dream but im not sure. We continue to smoke, its really dark, i rem my cousin ronnie is there and he starts showing us some weed we will smoke. Its so dark its really hard to see but they pass me a plastic bag and i hold it up trying to make out whats inside. I see the sillouhete of a bud and from what i can tell it looks pretty good. I pass it on and then sit down next to one of the random dcs. He tells me we forgot to bring our stuff. When he says this, in the dream i know that we were suppsoed to bring an eighth but we forgot it.

9:30 In the living room with my bro, rachelle, sister, wayne and some random dcs. Wayne leaves going back to houston saying because he forgot something. Just remed earlier in the dream we were in the backyard and he kept asking how some haze was. He was sitting on a swing that doesnt exist in waking life. I rem telling him the haze is quite good. We go inside and he leaves.

I start heading back to my room to smoke a joint but i dont tell anyone. Just as im heading back my bro says why dont you get a joint ready. I say i was about to but if i smoke with you guys it will be all gone and i wont even be high. They all start laughing, i say maybe ill roll two. I start heading back to my room, but really dont want to smoke two so i forget it and go back to the living room. They are watching soccer, i rem a random dc next to me commenting on a goal, we are watching like a highlight show.

I rem watching and seeing a player named Harrard, in the dream i called him gerrard before correcting myself, in my head i compared him to gerrard and lampard and figured since he had ard in his name he must be good, he runs down the field a bit, the field looks really strange, there are like three players standing in front of him, he pretends to shoot and they all jump and flinch trying to block it as he pushes the ball around them.

I say something about how good he is. Inspired by the play i kick a soccer ball to my sister, she kicks it back to me in the air and i volley it as hard as i can towards the tv. It bounces back without damaging anything. I say something to my bro and he seems annoyed.

Earlier in the dream I can't remember why or where, but these lizard people were attacking us and trying to get us killed.

Anyways, I the first part I can remember was when I was in Wal-mart and was looking at printer cords for a printer I have when this guy walks up and asks me if I know where I can find a cord for his printer. I gave him mine and said there are more in the laptop section (we were in the photo section) and I requested that he bring another one back to replace it while I look around. Just about then, my brother and the other kid came running up and said that we had to go NOW! Then, about that time a lizard man with a helmet and sword ran out and was on one side of our isle.

Now earlier in the dream I had seen these things and learned two things; they are the toughest warriors of their kind (the urgasts or something) and they are led by a mafia dressed man who is very dangerous and wants us killed for some reason (some prophecy and storyline are missing because all I can remember starts at wal-mart). We fled and ran away from him until another one appeared and we split up. They both went after me and I tried to find my friends to help me out. When I found them, they were hiding in a small area in the corner of the store I ran up to them and then the lizard men split up where one went after them and one went after me. All I had to fight with was a blue razor blade knife I use for construction. I was standing there and my friends were leaned against with the lizard in front of them while I had one watching me. I swung at one and cut a huge gash in its back but then it started to slowly heal back. My friend said "That is why I can't kill them, I have to chop them in half and they are too fast to kill." Then, the power went out -_-, and just at that moment I flipped on the light switch and yelled "We have to get out of here!" I ran and both my friends stayed their and both of the lizard men chased me. I ran with no light through the store and I saw the entrance and ran towards it. I turned around to see how close my pursuers were and saw the lizard man with in reaching distance of me. I panicked and swung at him but he blocked it. We then began fighting and he cut me twice in the leg and arm. I had this feeling I was about to die when he raised his sword and was about to finish me. I then saw an opening and swung my knife at his head and sliced it all the way through his neck. He paused for a second and then he fell and his head rolled off. My new friend and my brother came up about that time and said they were relieved I was okay. The other lizard guy came up and after some fighting, my friend cut him in half with his sword.

We were about to walk out of Wal-mart until we saw outside in the parking lot their leader coming out of a car and an army of lizard men with him. My friend and my brother then ran and the friend said I know a way out and ran towards the Wal-mart employee bathroom. I saw them run that direction and then looked outside and saw the lizard men getting closer with their mafia leader in front. I ran the direction my friends went and got in the bathroom and locked the door. It was a single person bathroom and had one toilet and no sink. Where could my friends have gone? I opened the toilet and saw the water running and thought maybe they went in their (stupid idea). I opened the seat and tank on the back and still couldn't find a way out... As I heard the lizard men getting closer, I saw a gap in the wall and light coming out of it. I pried the wall off and it was made of cardboard. I went in and saw a hallway behind it. I closed it behind me but knew it wouldn't help... I ran down the hallway which was made of wood planks and was lit up by flame torches. I then met up with my friend and brother who said they were relieved they thought I was captured. We heard something break and heard the lizard people were in the hall ways. I ran ahead of them and had a feeling of deja vu although I had never been there before in any dream that I can remember. I started knowing exactly where every hidden passage was and every door. I ran ahead and then waited on my friend and brother to catch up.

There was a door to my right and a wall that looked solid then my friend came up and pushed the wall and it slid open. They were way ahead of me and started to lose me. I was getting lost in the hallways that now appeared to look like a cave or mine kind of, with high ceilings and wooden reinforced walls on the walls. I then was confronted by two lizard men, how did they catch up so fast? I started fighting them and slicing at them but they didn't have helmets and they were not regenerating and were a lot weaker. I killed one of them and ran with the other one chasing me. I knew I was catching up to my friends when I heard them up ahead struggling with something. I caught up and they were fighting the tougher lizards with helmets. Then my friend said "I'll go on ahead, I know a way we can finish them all off once and for all, good luck! I started fighting beside my brother against the two tough lizards and the other one that had been following me. I grabbed a sword and killed the weaker lizard. Then things took a turn for the worst when my brother was badly wounded. The lizards ganged up on him and I stabbed one in the back and they turned around and started fighting me. I killed one and then the other and my brother was on his knees with blood stained clothes. We knew he wasn't going to make it. He looked up at me and said it was over I assured him it wasn't and told him I would finish them all. I walked over to him and stabbed him to speed up the process instead of him bleeding out on the ground waiting on the lizard men to get him.

I now heard lizard men everywhere. I don't know how they could've gotten ahead of us but they did. As I ran through hallways and jumped and dodged lizard men while trying to catchup to my friend I noticed the hallways were getting bigger and they became rocky slopes like in a cave. I then I got to this big room where there were barrels along the wall and two big tables towards the middle of the room and there was a female lizard warrior with a red aura coming off of her shoulders. She was fully armored except for her head and had an evil smile while looking at me. She taunted me saying I was too late and that the end of the world was going to happen soon and they will take over. I drew my sword and attacked her but she was super fast and very strong. While we were fighting I could hear my friend in a room above us that you could get to by climbing a wall with a net nailed to it. He kept saying, "Come on, come on, I've almost got it!" I still fighting the lizard warrior when she knocked my sword away from me and laughed saying, "You don't stand a chance weakling" I ran past her jumped off of a table and grabbed the net and started climbing. She laughed again saying, "Now what are you trying to do?" She climbed the wall next to me and got right at the top and had a glass jar with some animals in it. She said "Here, have some of my special creatures I made just for you. Their were some panthers, some (other dangerous animal but I forgot what it was), and a rattlesnake! Most of the animals fell out of the jar and hit the floor and were really small but the rattlesnake was on the top of the wall about five feet away and was also really small. It started to come near me really slowly. I climbed the top and ran toward the room that my friend was in. The lizard warrior was in the other room and started to hiss and said, "Wrong jar, lets try this one with much bigger creatures". I ignored all of it and ran up to my friend who was pulling on a lever on the wall.

The room looked like a bedroom and above a table next to a bookcase on the other side of the room, was a lever that extended out of the wall and moved up and down. I pulled it down with him but it wasn't working. Then I heard more animals like tigers and elephants and lions. I said we have to hurry!!! He said, "I know I think it's broken or something, I've been pulling it down and it won't work!!!" Then I saw the lizard warrior come in the room. I pulled the lever out away from the wall and then pulled it down and it made a loud thud. The lizard warrior hissed "NOOOO!" I jumped onto the bed and so did my friend and the room started shaking. The lizard warrior suddenly exploded into dust and the cave felt like it was collapsing. I know we made it out, but I know the dream didn't last much longer...

Dream - Lucid

I was at Dakota's house at night. I was the only one there (his aunt and uncle had gone on vacation. Dakota had too, but he went somewhere different). I was sitting in his room (didn't look like his real room, it was a lot bigger), watching TV. Dakota had told me I could chill there while everyone was away, though technically, I wasn't supposed to be there.

I had fallen asleep, and I woke up. I heard car doors slamming outside, so I figured I probably needed to leave, so I headed towards the door of his room.

All the sudden, a recording of Dakota's voice boomed over a loudspeaker. It said something about his aunt and uncle coming home. I started to move more quickly towards the back door of the house so I could get out before his aunt and uncle caught me.

It was too late, though. I walked outside, and there they were. I was very ashamed of myself. I shouldn't have been there. I went to my car. Dakota's uncle came up to me. I said to him
"I want to redeem myself in your eyes. I'm sorry."
He seemed pleased with that.

I then drove off through his neighborhood. It was lit only by the lights of the houses.

I was again at Dakota's house. It was morning, and Dakota and I had been asleep in sleeping bags on the floor. His head was facing my head.

His Aunt then came in with a bunch of kids. They sat at the kitchen table. That morning, they were leaving for Oklahoma. I got up and walked by the table. The kids were all playing Scrabble. There were also toys on the table, though I can't remember specifics.

They eventually filed out the door and got in their red mini van (can't remember the type). They came back a little later because they forgot something.

I was laying down on some sort of bed or table. An Indian-looking man with dark skin and a black mustache had a small buzz saw blade attached to a handle above my neck, though it wasn't moving. There was a dial ingrained in the left side of my neck that the buzz saw's blades fit perfectly into, and the man was going to help me by using the saw on the dial. I'm not sure what it was he was supposed to be helping me with, though. I think I was hurt or ill, and it was supposed to help me to heal.

At first, he jokingly got out a HUGE buzz saw and started using it on my neck. It hurt, and I kept telling him to stop. He stopped and laughed as he took the small buzz saw and gently started to use it to turn the dial in my neck. It felt a little uncomfortable. The man was very kind to me as he did this. He talked to me gently, though I can't remember what he said.

I was on the beach at night with my mom. We had our cat, Pounce, who is very ill in waking life. I'm not sure why we had her, but she got away from us and ran all over the beach. My mom told me to get her. She ran too fast, however. She then ran down some stairs into a men's restroom. At first, my mom wasn't sure we should go in there to get her because it was the men's room, but I convinced her that we could. We went in there after the cat, checking all the stalls.

I was in the car when I became lucid by counting my fingers, though I wasn't totally convinced yet. I confirmed it by making extra fingers appear out of my hands.

Then, I hung out the passenger's side window naked as the car drove itself. I felt the wind rush past me as I went. Why I decided to do this with my lucid dream is beyond me.
