    Non-Lucid Dreams

    1. Day 13- 6/23/11

      by , 06-23-2011 at 06:16 PM
      I was in my basement with my friend Austin and one of his friends. He somehow created two Legend of Zelda games for GameBoy Color for both of us. They came in blue cartridges. We played for a little while, and the game was actually very quality for GameBoy.
      Now it is the following morning, and my brother and carpool are ready to leave. I'm holding them up because I have to prepare a very quality steak, and I refused to eat it in the car. I took my time and ate the steak, and it tasted familiar and delicious. (Once I woke up and remembered the taste, I was actually surprised at how good the taste was, considering I was dreaming.) In the car, I played Zelda, but it was too hard, so I switched to Pokemon. Soon, my vision became the GameBoy screen and I used a Geodude and a Farfetch'd to defeat Gary Oak. Just as I was about to catch a female Nidoran, I woke up.

    2. School?

      by , 06-23-2011 at 06:14 PM (Dreams of Dawn)
      I don't remember all of it well but I'll write down the parts that I know.
      So it kinda seems that we're on a field trip and I'm with my friends. It's an overnight field trip so we're kind of in a hotel with a bunch of beds in one big room and the chaperons are telling us to sleep, I guess. Some of us had to share a bed and I remember looking to my side and seeing Spencer from Pretty Little Liars asleep next to me and me saying something to my friend beside me about her, but it wasn't a good thing to say. I don't remember which friend it was or what I said but I said it. Next, me and that same friend wrote on the wall with crayon or something about Spencer and someone told us that the owner doesn't like it when people write on the walls. This seems pretty stupid so far, but it's what I remember.
      Next the dream seems to jump to a high school. (I'm going to high school next year.) I'm with my friend and the high school is almost like a tower type thing. It seems pretty modern with glass windows and when you look inside it is very white and there is a black staircase leading to the classrooms or something. We appear in a classroom and a teacher that I know of named Mr. Scoville is teaching there. He isn't teaching there, he was just sitting at his desk telling us to be quiet but we never do. My friend Kylie is there. We were bored so we took this box and the box seems familiar. Now, I'm starting to remember that a teacher there quit or something and Mr. Scoville took over and rearranged the classroom and we recognize the box near us. We took the box and we looked inside. I can't remember what was inside but we laughed at it and joked around like we usually do when we're actually at school. Now I remember my friend Sam being there. Kylie and Sam are best friends.

      That's about it. Some of it doesn't even make sense but it's worth writing down.

    3. Bunk Beds

      by , 06-23-2011 at 06:09 PM (Dreams are p cool, man.)
      Missed some dreams the past few days, oh well. Went to bed around 1AM.. I think.. yeah. 1AM and Mom woke me up at 9:10AM, 10 minutes before my alarm would go off.

      I was coming up from some rocky beach, which I'm sure had some cliffs and waves crashing against it, walking towards my friends house on a rocky hill. I could see into his bedroom because it was missing a wall (the house was like.. three stories high but had one floor and just super high ceilings). He had a tower of bunk beds that made up for it, so you could just crawl over one of the bunk beds and be inside his house or vice versa. There were probably 10 beds or so and he had one of those rope climbing things as a way to get to the top, like the ones you see at playgrounds with the little steps on the wall in front of it. There may have been a yellow slide too.

      I'm in his room now and the walls are all burnt orange. The floor was hardwood and very light with a large, round antique rug in the middle, made of mostly reds as most antique rugs are. One of my friend's little brothers was on the top bunk, or almost, and I said something about climbing and being in a window. His brother called down, "That's actually pretty attractive." and I laughed because he's like.. 6 or 7.

      I started climbing up but I was having a lot of trouble. Somehow, I made it to one of the middle bunks. My friend was there, at the end of the bed on his laptop. His youngest brother, about 3 (they're both a few years older IRL), climbed onto the bed to admire a blanket or something. I was hiding my face under one and he started laughing and trying to find me but I started tickling him through the blanket. I imitated his baby scream/laugh and he laughed even more. My friend was laughing at us too and that went on for a while until said friend wanted to show me a video. It was about some video game.

      Then Mom woke me up.

      PS Edit: I tooted after writing this and remembered there was something in my dream about farting.

    4. June 23

      by , 06-23-2011 at 06:08 PM (Dreams of Hash)
      Went to bed 1250-120
      Goals eat and teleport
      5:57
      I rem going to school for a final project at the end of the year. First i rem walking downstairs at my high school and i walk past the staircase i evenetually use to get to class. When i do i notice many of my classmates waiting at the staircase. This makes me wonder why they arent in the classroom. I dont rem what i do but i head back and this time go upstairs.

      I take a hallway right and can see the classroom that i am looking for. The final project we have due is a presentaion of our choice and i quickly realize that im not the only one who has made theirs weed related. As i am walking to the classroom i see that blonde chick from my creative writing class and she has a binder with her project inside, the binder says cannabis culture in green letters across the top. She is standing outside by herself waiting to be called in by the teacher but i just walk in.

      There is a group giving a presentation and like 2 more groups inside watching. I go sit in the very back and watch. The current group is giving theirs on world religion and it seems christianity specifically. In the dream i was seriously considering raising my hand and asking them if they knew anything about jesus' lost years when he is said to have been studying yoga in india. I also rem thinking about how i will give my presentation, thinking to myself i will talk calmly and at a good pace that doesnt take away my breath. The world religion group starts to wrap up there presentation, i rem them being some dude in a black shirt and a cute girl but cant rem what color she had on. Dont rem past this.

      *Have vague memory of being on the top floor of a 3 or 4 level building that is crumbling and is the site of a major battle. I cant rem what the soldiers looked like or even what they were fighting with but i do seem to have supernatural jumping abilities in the dream. I rem being at the very top and jumping to another part that had been disconnected during the fighting. I shimmy around the side of a building until im on the outside of it and have decent cover from the fighting. Dont rem much else.

      7:29 Quick flash of being in the soccer locker room and climbing up onto some second level that wasnt there in waking life. Im hanging out with someone but not sure who. The coach comes out of his office and tells me that me and the other dude need to go wait somewhere else

      9:36 I rem being in a large dark auditorium with my mom and we are standing in line to be seated. We are at the very top row where there are some bleachers and the line leads all the way up there and is heading further and further down.

      *I think the previous dream must shift or something because i rem being in a dark school room where they are going to show a video or something. All of the chairs are lined up theatre style and now im with austin and we are looking for a seat. I rem seeing plenty of openings but i just follow austin and he heads to the backrow. When he finds some seats he climbs over the seats in front and sits down. I just casually walk to the back row and sit down.

      *Have another flash of the same thing. This time im in like an actual theatre and im with my sister and brother. We are looking for seats and in the dream i had been there before and had a place i normally sat. My bro was asking where we should sit and i pointed over there. I saw tyler and vannesa in the area i was talking about and they were both looking at me smiling. I was about to tell him about it but he ignored me and sat down in the middle row. I rem being really annoyed and thinking why even ask if you just want to do things your way.

      *I rem sitting in a lounge chair and i think im on a balcony and i have a bag of food. The food looks like bird seed but its supposed to be for me. I rem looking at it really closely and even thinking in the dream it looks like birdseed.

    5. 012: Otaku stalker

      by , 06-23-2011 at 05:29 PM (Tides of Sleep)
      June 23, 2011

      Notes
      Sleeping over in a hotel room tonight. Have been going to bed very early since coming back to the states. I haven't written any of my dreams down for awhile so I figure now's as good a time as any. At the last dream I started to become a little lucid seeing as I was waking up every five minutes to the sound of my mom's alarm clock. Recurring themes of school and crossdressing.

      Entry 012
      I'm in a cave, swimming in a clear underground lake. Around me I can see my old classmates swimming as well, though none of them are distinct. The teacher is a woman with dark hair pulled back into a bun and a thin, delicate face. Although I've never had a teacher who looked like her, she seems familiar. She pulls out an old photograph of her and her family and lays it on the rocky shore of the lake. "Bring me tokens, then we can move on." I don't know what she means, but I dive to the bottom of the lake and place a smooth pebble on top of the photo. My classmates bring other things they find and place them on the photo as well.

      We're going somewhere now, we walk into a huge chamber with a waterfall.

      ----

      I'm in Tokyo, and I'm Japanese. For some reason I'm dressed up like a man and wearing a police uniform. It looks like my disguise has fooled everyone. Well, everyone but one guy. In Akihabara some otaku wearing a long white coat and huge coke bottle glasses spots me and knows I can't be a man. He starts to stalk me. I don't start to run really, but I'm definitely trying to lose him. I come to a tall tower. The otaku sees a baby nearby and steals it, knowing I won't run away while he's putting the life of an infant in danger. I somehow outsmart him and retrieve the baby, ringing the doorbell of the tower and giving it back to the confused Japanese housewife inside. From there on the dream morphs into some kind of parkour chase across Tokyo, with only occasional pauses whenever I think I've lost him.

      ----

      I'm with my friend Jane, and we're at some kind of anime convention. We're both wearing costumes that disguise us as men, but the people at the convention can tell from our faces that we're girls. We're wearing tight under-armor shirts with padded muscles and tight skinny jeans with sneakers. We look convincing. We're there for some kind of competition. We walk into a packed room and head for the makeshift stage at the front. We're in a line of other costumed groups. The audience appears to be picking its favorite groups from the line up, shouting whenever the ones they like are mentioned. Our names are called out and we flex and pose for the crowd. We get a huge response, we move on to the next round.

      Next round and we're on stage with different costumes this time. Now we're wearing fluorescent pink and yellow pixie-cut wigs and matching tutus. Now we're competing against just one other group for the semi-finals. The last challenge is to dress up a girl from an audience to match us. I pick out a girl with brown hair tied up in a braid. For some reason Jane has left the stage and I have to do the makeup all by myself, even though I have no idea how. I spend the entire time allotted applying pink lipstick to the girl. Somehow, though, when she walks to the front of the stage, she looks just like us. We move to the semi-finals, but once there we lose because my design on the girl wasn't original enough. I have become somewhat lucid at this point due to an alarm clock, and I feel curious about how my makeup actually looks. I look in a mirror and look strangely old underneath the makeup. I can see wrinkles cracking the top of my upper lip and bags pulling down my eyes. It scares me.

      I wake up.

    7. Gym Rollercoaster

      by , 06-23-2011 at 04:32 PM
      NORMAL DREAM - Please forgive the cap on almost every word, my computer did it and will take a long time to undo

      I was in my Dads houses Bathroom Where I Brushed My Teeth with Toothpaste That I noticed Contains Sodium Fluoride Then the scene Changed To At my Mums house and It Was Dark and the Cats Were About and one was sitting on a cupboard. I had to help my sisters get Into the Attic. I Had to Let Light into the House without letting light Get outside by Putting Blankets Up. I Also Has To Pull a Bed Sheet around a certain entire house Then Take It Back to Our House, the bed sheet was huge and orange. Then One Time I Went Around The Wrong House And There Was Barbed Wire Over The Floor And This Child Came And Stood On The Wires And Complained About Something. I Took Him off The Floor, I also Took A Piece of Wire and Went to the Gym.

      I Went Through The Double Doors And Talked To People I Met At Enrolment Day. We Walked Down By a River (which looked quite calm but not dry) and I Finally Decided to Discard It (the barbed wire). As It Will "Do More Harm Than Good". But I Did Not Want It To Ping Back So I Looped It Into A Fence And Told Nobody To Get It. Then We Were On A Rollercoaster By The River And I Kept Looking Into The River, there was grass growing in the river and around it. Then We Went up Big Hills (on the rollercoaster) Then arrived At a flat Platform Were We Played a rhythmic Clapping Game. To See If Clapping At The Same Time Would Do Something To The Track And Kart. We Then Went To This Other Rollercoaster Which Was Further Away But When We Went On It, Appeared To Be In The Same Place. But It Had No Bumps and At the End and Had A Different Game. The Rollercoaster Fell Off The Track Twice. Went Back And Forth.

      We Then Got Given Cards like a thank you card at The End with Drawings Inside as gifts/certificates. One Got A Picture Of A Fat Man. Some Others Seemed Upset By Theirs. One Guy Got A Great Shaded Drawing And He Appeared To Have Others Just Like It But Two People Fishing As The First. We Were Then On Some Staircase Where The Rollercoaster Man Gave Me A Card After Me Just Talking About The Other Rollercoaster. He Thought I Was Complaining. The Card Was a Picture of a Person Crying and something along the Lines Of, “I Liked the Fairy Ride Better” written on the card. The quote was meant to be insulting. I Saw A Guy Crying And He Said To This Other Person He Got About 3 Stars, 7 A Stars And a U.

      Then I Looked up and the Setting Changed Into my brothers Bedroom at my mother’s house, Two French teachers were in my brothers bed Marking English Coursework. When I Got My Report I Planned Not To Read It Until A Later Time. Then one of the teachers took something from the Bedpost Where It Said the Number38 in a Ball Type Font, She Then Said 38 As If It Was Significant.

    8. Its raining diamonds!

      by , 06-23-2011 at 04:27 PM
      vividness: 5
      Lucidity: 0, 3

      It started i was on a bus with my friend tucker, we were on a game/ride at Hershey Park. It was a bus that would drive around and while you were on it diamonds would rain down from the side, and you would try and catch them. I remember I went first, then my friend tucker did, they we were arguing over who should go on the last one, because for some reason only one more person could go.
      -Skip
      I was in a weird hotel environment with a bunch of friends, there was a laundry shoot that took everything down to the basement. Every one got the towels from their bathrooms and through them down there, every one was daring me to try and jump in there.
      -Skip
      I had a dream that the girl i got my first kiss from moved back to my school, and we were in a relationship. I was walking to my bus and she walked up and grabbed my hand and said "you thought you could get away with out saying bye to me." Then she left to get on her bus this one other girl that still goes to my school, admitted she had a crush on me and said that she was just waiting for the right moment. She basically wanted to break up with my girlfriend DC.
      -Skip
      I was suddenly in the math hall way in my school. The bell would ring and instead of students coming out of the classrooms, zombies did. i didnt think of it as a nightmare, i thought of it as a game. I remember trying to run down the math hall way and dodge them. some people would get turned over and some would make it. I gotten bit and began turning over. RESET the bell rung and the zombies started coming out again i ran down the hallway bouncing off the wall and kicking them in the opposite direction. i made it to the science hallway and there were not zombies there, just students, but i knew they would show up eventually, i continued running in till I reached the lunch room. I saw some friends in the lunch room and sat down with them. i began to think i was dreaming at the moment, but suddenly it faded out.
      -Skip
      It was like I was playing a video like black ops or something i remember walking around with a gun or a sniper. i had a solid grayish-green gilly suit on and i approached a broken down house, i remember all my team was taken out, and i was the last one left.
      -Skip
      I remember driving up and down the road our cabins are on when we go on vacation. We turned around and started heading in the opposite direction. Some one was after us. We parked our car and began to fish, the fishing equipment was buried in the sand by some one who had been killed by the people that are after us. We began to fish for this huge lake monster. It was what every one was after, and my friend got killed because the people wanted to catch it before we did and he was a good fisherman. I started breathing really hard, and ran back to the explorer to get my inhaler(I don't have asthma?) I ran back down and then everything faded out.
      -Skip
      I was arrested about a year and 3 days ago, they never sent me my court date. I dreamed I was outside with a bunch of friends. I remember one of my friends saying "pot is my favorite drug." Then i remember getting a old cigarette bud in my hat from one of my friends.(i don't smoke cigarettes) my dad walked up and I tried to take it out and flick it out, but he saw me. I remember hearing one of my friends say "I think he saw you." I was thinking, hes still right fucking there! I walked inside with my dad and he told me that they had finally come to get me and were taking me to a rehab for 2 months. I remember just say "Mother f..."(religious dad) I walked out side and started yell mother fucker at the TOP of my lungs. i walked around the house back in the front, i went in the garage and the guy pulled up to take me. He said he needed to search me before we went. After he did he was like "now we got to do a cavity search" I was like "HELL NO, you can fuck yourself." He responded saying "We need to its required" I responded saying "Oh fucking well, I bet you like your job bitch." I punched him in the face as hard as i could and ran out my garage. Then i woke up.
    9. Alien invasion at school and something about ice skating?

      , 06-23-2011 at 02:18 PM
      This one seems a bit disjointed and not right.
      In the dream I was in at school, in a room that I never knew existed, there were pipes and other people. We decided to do normal school stuff and started hearing rumours about aliens in the school. We investigated it and broke into the school at night to find out whats going on, we went into the mysterious bed and pipe room and there was a painting on a wall, a teacher who was working with the aliens found us, and we had to escape. We spoke about it at school what appeared to be the next day.

      This next part felt out of place, like it wasn't a part of the dream, but it was a dream.

      Somehow I got to a ice skating place with someone who is considered the smartest person at my school, who I sometimes play tennis with. He told me that I should check something. He took me to a wall with symbols on it that go into the ice. There, ice skating was the girl who appears in a lot of my dreams. When I noticed her everything got a bit messed up like a film messed up and started skipping back and forth between different scenes.

      Back to what was going on originally.

      I figured out what was going on with the aliens and the school, and thought the only way to fix the problem would be to time travel and stop it from ever happening, so I somehow timetravelled and stopped the aliens from arriving by doing something with the painting on the wall. At that moment a group of what seemed like swat broke in through the windows and started saying things too me, but everything started to sound like how it does when your underwater, I said "what?" then one of the people moved closer and I woke up.

    10. Shootout FPS

      by , 06-23-2011 at 02:08 PM (Liber Morpheus - Carzle's book of Dreams)
      Slept at 1:30
      Woke at 8:45

      Smoked JWH before bed with friends

      This dream is in First Person Shooter Mode

      I'm in a giant warehouse with a gun. My partner, who is unknown to me, is helping me kill a lot of bad guys. We get to this room that has many floors that seems like 14 stories high. I start shooting a bunch of people. This one guy who is the boss, I shoot him about 5 times and he still isn't dying. I keep shooting and each time i hit him he gets smaller and smaller. I realize hes a robot! Everyone is a robot. After I kill the boss, he tells his henchmen one last thing, which I can't remember. Then at a lower level of the room, these two henchmen start shooting at me. I manage to hit one in the head, and right before he dies, he throws a nuke. The nuke drops to the ground, and all hell breaks loose. The other henchmen immediately dies, and the explosion is heading towards me and my partner. I start feeling the feedback. My partner finds a door and we run through it into this pleasant room. The fallout is still heading toward us. We go through another door. Its really dark. Another room. Now we go through another door, and we are outside. I feel like 20% of my heath is gone. I remember us having other partners, but I have a hunch that they didn't make it.

    11. Being bullied at Gym Class.

      by , 06-23-2011 at 01:55 PM (It's all about Awareness.)
      I remember playing basketball with my friend, And I remember this jock guy and his friends trying to start shit with us for no reason. I never did anything to him nor his friends and I said this is the only friend I have. Close friend. And he got cocky with me so I called him a fag. He got pissed and tried to shove me. The gym coach got on him and his buddies and they left. I got mad and punched the cocky bastard. He got pissed and tried to fight me in front of everyone. Then he tried to humiliate me in front of everyone when I was sitting on the bleachers. I noticed Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto Shippuden standing there in 3 Denominational form in human form looking at me with a disgrace look. Well that's Sasuke for you any way. I tried getting him to help me get this guy off my back but he didn't do anything. The next time I have a Lucid Dream I will summon that guy and his friends and teach em a lesson.

    12. Being stalked by Lord Moldy Butt from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy/False Awakening

      by , 06-23-2011 at 01:36 PM (It's all about Awareness.)
      Ok so I know most of you are familiar with the Cartoon Network series The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy right? Well I'll be telling the dream now. Ok here I go!

      I had this dream I was in a different bedroom but it looked different. Then I saw Lord Moldy Butt from the cartoon series The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. Every time I saw him come after me I said his name and something bad would break. Here's a picture of him if you don't know what he looks like.




      Then I found my self out in my old back yard. There was an above ground we had. I was standing on a tall balcony. I said Lord Moldy Butt when I was out side and the pool broke, and water fell into it. I saw my dog floating in the air and I said that's impossible. So I did a reality check "I forgot which one it was" and I got lucid for a short period of time. I tried to stabilize the lucid dream to make it last longer with rubbing your hands together technique and it worked for only a short amount of time. I tried using that lord moldy butt thing on my dog but it didn't work.

      After that I woke up, Or I thought I did... I remember writing my dream down in my written dream journal and I woke up a second time and I noticed a pizza on a plate. I noticed my dog laying on the couch in my room looking at the slice of pizza so I gave him the pizza. After that I walked into the kitchen and it was sunny. I noticed a bunch of kids walking down our street. Like a hundred of them. I did the nose pinch reality check when I felt like something was off but it failed. Then I woke up for real this time. I could barely remember what happened in the dream I had. But at least I'm getting better at this stuff.
    13. Overpopulating pest

      by , 06-23-2011 at 01:36 PM (Tomas's DJ - "Exploration of the inner Self")
      *This dram is set up around my village. It was happening at night (dream sign). Some kind of pest or frogs is uncontrollably overpopulating. I have developed some new kind of animal that attacked the overpopulating kind. I also developed some kind of fish for the same purpose. I have also developed new kind of plant that was grown at composter at my grandmother’s garden. It was very successful killing the right amount of the pest (now I feel it’s rabbits). I gave some samples to my friend Pavel O. ...At this point my recordings make not sense!!! (well funny though....”I told Kolovska that she is fat and she complained... Pavel and Skrbek are two bloody liars, so I put a wardrobe there, turn on my computer and cat ).
    14. Two of the Same

      by , 06-23-2011 at 01:12 PM
      I am in a large room, sort of like a warehouse or large meeting area. There are tons of people, I don't know most of them. My parents are here as well as my grandfather and some long time family friends, though my sister is not. I'm not sure why we are gathered together. For some reason I fall asleep and think I am dreaming. As soon as I started dreaming everything got brighter like someone turned the contrast up. I can see myself sleeping and walk around. There are two of everyone I know here, though only one person is here at a time. I see them as they are now and the other version of them is as they were when I was younger. I see my dad, then grandfather, then our family friends kids when they were young. I would wake up and fall back asleep, each time raising or lowering the contrast on everything that I saw. I wake up to my alarm buzzing.

    15. closet boxes; museum store; surveillance walls

      by , 06-23-2011 at 11:42 AM
      Good morning, everybody.

      Dream #1

      I stood before my closet hallway. There were a lot of boxes in there. I had a lightbulb box in my hand. It was empty, so I figured I'd just throw it out to make space.

      There were some other boxes in there, possibly including a box for diapers. I threw them out, too. Suddenly I had only one box in my closet. It was the only box that had anything in it. It was white cardboard.

      I thought I could start stacking stuff up on this box. But I was a little afraid to. The box looked a little dirty, like it had bugs crawling on it. I didn't want to put more stuff on this box and get everything else all buggy.

      Dream #2

      I was in the gift shop for a museum. The man there basically owned and ran the gift shop. The gift shop was closing down, and a lot of its shelves were empty. I remember one particular wall of light-beige wood shelves that were completely empty. The walls behind the shelves were grey, like a dark concrete or cinder.

      The owner came up and smiled at me. He was white, bald, with a grey-white mustache and a kind of friendly look. He also seemed to be a little bit muscular. He spoke to me in some friendly way about some of the discounts he had throughout the store.

      I was now alone in the store. I somehow heard my boss talking with a woman, or possibly with a woman and a man. I had apparently left my job for good. This had been somehwat planned. But now my boss was being urged to get me back. My boss was told that I should try to be tricked into believing that I was actually obliged to stay on for two more weeks.

      As I heard this stuff, I had kind of been floating around on my back throughout the store. I had floated up high for a little while. But now I was floating at about the level of the checkout counter.

      I looked at the green, digital numbers on the display of the tan, plastic cash register. They said "4-17." I knew that meant that today was April 17th. This was, I thought, about two weeks before I was scheduled to leave work. But I really didn't want to have to go back to my office, and I was trying to think whether this story these people would be feeding me about how I needed to go back was actually true.

      Dream #3

      I woke up. The lights were on in my room. My eyes were really blurry. But, I knew, because of my half-sleeping condition, I could see things that I normally wouldn't see.

      I looked at my walls. There were black spots all around the room, at about waist height. The spots were set in pairs, and the pairs were spaced with about one meter intervals. The pairs of spots were set so that two spots were right next to each other, one set up a little diagonally to the other. The black spots were little spy cameras.

      Up near the top of the wall were much more widely spaced, much bigger devices, which may have been colored like rusty metal. They looked like small versions of the horns for old phonographs.

      I knew people were spying on me by using all this stuff. But I didn't know who was spying on me. There was suddenly a high-pitched ringing in my ears. It got more and more intense.
